[00:00] I tried downloading it on a windows box but that was a bunch of fail (can't install a svn client; no admin) I really just want the file without going through this many loops [00:00] IntuitiveNipple, old, yes that makes sense. Time to add one then I'd guess [00:00] JPSman: you might try editing the registry it via regedit in wine [00:00] IntuitiveNipple: does find work in the /dev/ tree? [00:00] IntuitiveNipple: except that it also returns /dev/dm-* [00:00] l337ingDisorder: There are many ways to do it, it depends on what dependencies you have to abide by, and more importantly, how thorough and how many corner-cases you have have to catch [00:00] Tried it on a linux box and it still won't download [00:00] IntuitiveNipple: but that's ok, I'm just piping these results into partimage so if it finds a partition it can't work with it'll just discard it and move on. [00:00] hbekel: it loads wines registry :OD [00:00] flx_ THANK YOU [00:01] l337ingDisorder: Okay, got you. [00:01] hello [00:01] IntuitiveNipple: heh yeah it's funny.. sometimes I'll come in and ask a question and no one has any answers or even any ideas as to where to look...but then sometimes there are more ways to do it than there are letters in the alphabet ;) [00:01] eli_: you don't really need admin to run an SVN client on win32, you just need it fto install the shell integration [00:01] Brandano: It works anywhere you've got sufficient permissions [00:01] eli_: commandline svn should work fine [00:01] So many thanks for this, looks like precisely what I'll need [00:02] IntuitiveNipple: I was jus wondering why you went to the bother of a for loop just to echo stuff on the screen :) [00:02] right but restricted Internet hates it, the msi files goes though tho [00:02] l337ingDisorder: Yeah... I've been dealing with some scripts tha thave to do similar stuff in the initial ramdisk, so I've learned to not take all the tools and udev-created links for granted :) [00:02] l337ingDisorder: it has happened but i'm sure we'll be able to help in some way :D [00:02] flx_: how about using wines regedit to loads my partitions registry? is there such a file? [00:03] Brandano: I was just demonstrating one use of the shell glob/regexp to find all partitions, that was the subject of the question [00:03] Brandano: 'find' might not be available in all circumstances [00:03] JPSman: I'm not sure, I don't have Windows =p [00:03] l337ingDisorder, for part in /dev/{[sh]d[a-z][0-9]*,dm-*}; do echo -n "$part "; done # is a redundant way of writing \ls /dev/{[sh]d[a-z][0-9]*,dm-*} [00:03] JPSman: you can run regedit from recovery console in windows, you just gotta know exactly what keys you are editining and where they are in nthe registry [00:03] like i just want the file. I should'nt have to go through this. (would pay someone for a windows port of Ctorrent) [00:03] http://www.mono-project.com/Bitsharp [00:04] !torrents [00:04] Intrepid can be torrented from http://hr.releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture.

I am burning a virus out and I need access to this other website that perfectly points to its evil [00:04] tested most of them. I need to create a custom app that uses bittorrent [00:04] H,, Azureus now is called vuze [00:04] ActionParsnip1, what was the gsmgs commandi lost it in logs and dont think i remember correctly [00:04] can I install ubuntu via cd boot, then internet install? I've done it on other distros... [00:05] perhaps the ubottu reply should be amended to include it [00:05] eli_: ctorrent is discontinued according to sourceforge [00:05] nothing complicated. How hard can it be to do something so simple? (linux works just fine, its windows that's causing the headache) [00:05] DJNomad: dmesg [00:05] how do I search my command line history - beyond using up arrow? [00:05] history | grep [00:05] Is there a torrent client similar to utorrent on linux,I loved it [00:05] unop: actually it is more helpful than just using the ls command because I need to run each one through partimage so this way I can just put that into the foreach loop [00:05] KevDog: hoistory [00:06] Trying to make a custom app with bittorrent and there are seemingly no window libs [00:06] KevDog: history | grep findthis [00:06] KevDog: e.g. history | grep apt [00:06] IntuitiveNipple: theif [00:06] ActionParsnip1: theif [00:06] Keve.g. history | less [00:06] l337ingDisorder, right ok. [00:06] thief* [00:06] KevDog: C-r [00:06] bruenig: thief? [00:06] unop: but I definitely see your point :) [00:06] indeed [00:06] KevDog: And when you find the command you want, you can repeat it by typing ! or bring it down for editing by typing !:p then up-arrow [00:06] So could someone pls tar this cause I can't right now cause of windows fail. http://www.mono-project.com/Bitsharp [00:07] ActionParsnip1, that command came back with errors device sdf without a number at all [00:07] can I install ubuntu via cd boot, then internet install? I've done it on other distros... [00:07] ActionParsnip1, *buch of errors and did not list a number [00:07] eli_: Gimme a mo... [00:07] DJNomad: if you run: sudo fdisk -l it will show you your disks as well as partitions, you can only mount partitions [00:08] IntuitiveNipple: Nice command -- that was my next question -- however how am I going to remember that!!! Might need an alias [00:08] bruenig: why and how am i a thief? [00:08] KevDog: man history ;) [00:08] KevDog: Read the bash man-pages: man bash [00:08] josh -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/Netboot [00:08] whoever decides on ubuntu art should really stop [00:09] Question, How to change qt themes from gnome? [00:09] eli_: It appears as though first you have to compile it then compile bitshark then add something called mono-curses to get a gui. (which you also have to compile) and on their main page they state this (Currently there are no precompiled binaries hosted anywhere. ) [00:09] actually that url is wrong, try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetbootInstallFromInternet [00:09] eli_: Hokay, they've borked their setup [00:09] eli_: Send them a message or look around [00:09] ugh [00:09] ubuntu has got to have the worst artwork of any distro... [00:10] thx carpii__ [00:10] is it possible to make a monitor on one computer act as a second display on another networked system?? [00:10] joshjtl: Have you ever contributed to it? [00:10] well the art is easily replaceable, its not like its affecting anything [00:10] Anyone know of a windows lib that can download a torrent program for use within VB or C++? [00:10] Can anyone guide me with instructions how to figure out what old version of Ubuntu to install that would come with or be easilly upgradable to kernel 2.4.21 or 2.4.26? [00:10] sharef_, yes [00:10] sharef_: Yes, using xdmx [00:10] flx_: yes [00:10] is it going to matter (break nvidia-settings, xorg) if I upgrade my nvidia e-geforce 5200 with a nvidia e-geforce 6200? [00:10] sharef_: you could vnc over? is that what you mean? [00:11] cjae, unlikely, there both relatively old cards [00:11] cjae: in the same slot, it will work fine [00:11] eli_: if its a windows lib, ask in ##windows [00:11] joshjtl: well then take ti to somewhere appropriate. [00:11] default art is supposed to be widely acceptable... it never has been [00:11] man history == What a dry read! [00:11] KevDog: Ctrl+r and type 'mount' to get at your last mount command. keep pressing Ctrl+r to move up through all matches [00:11] k thanks just got my disto running near flawlessly so I had to ask [00:11] nope not vnc, im pretty good at that [00:12] unop: IntuitiveNipple: Ok so here's some weirdness. for part in /dev/{[sh]d[a-z][0-9]*,dm-*}; do echo -n "$part "; done; echo that works just fine if I paste it into bash and hit enter.. but if I put it into a bash script and replace the semi-colons with newlines, it just outputs /dev/{[sh]d[a-z][0-9]*,dm-*} [00:12] i want my laptop and desktop to share displays and clipboard data [00:12] joshjtl, i think your discussing the art issue in the wrong place, try #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-art [00:12] hi when im opening a movie with vlc this happens: http://pastebin.com/m5952e2eb [00:12] l337ingDisorder: The semi-colon after the for part in... should remain if you follow it with do [00:12] Bodsda: its not offtopic... its ubuntu [00:12] and the vlc window shuts down right away [00:12] IntuitiveNipple: do is on its own line [00:12] joshjtl, yes but it is not a support question which is what this channel is for, so yes it is offtopic [00:13] Bodsda: ok i guess your right (I say, begrudgingly) [00:14] IntuitiveNipple: unop: http://pastebin.com/m7af5178b [00:14] l337ingDisorder: Tested here it works fine [00:14] hbekel: nice trick also [00:14] l337ingDisorder: http://pastebin.com/d6e60a3ff [00:15] joshjtl, thaNKS [00:15] oops [00:16] IntuitiveNipple: must just be something earlier in the script borking it, cause if I copy and paste the for loop (even multi-line) into bash it works, but the script doesn't (even though everything else is commented out) [00:16] nbeebo: --enable-mp4 its a compile option and is default in nthe standard vlc from repos [00:16] IntuitiveNipple: I'll start a new one. [00:16] Happy 4:20!!! [00:17] whoops, a bit vigorous with the closing tabs... [00:17] 6:20 here [00:17] 1:17 here [00:17] 1:20 here [00:17] well, yea 1:17 [00:17] or 18:20 if you prefer [00:17] which means my nts isn't working [00:17] Brandano: No, mine says the same [00:17] then you're late! (or early)... better catch up!! (or get a head start) [00:17] which means it's past time for me to pack up and drive home. hasta. [00:18] ActionParsnip1 oh it would be the same without it, just tried it at the end forgot to post an earlier one, which got the same error message [00:18] time for me to catch some sleep. Goodnight everyone [00:18] i'm using usb audio and only my flash sound works, can anyone help? [00:18] Anyway, does anyone know how to get Ubuntu to allow me to use both an eth0 and a PPPoE connection at the same time? [00:18] l337ingDisorder, you might need to add this line at the beginning of the script. set -B [00:18] nbeebo: try: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall vlc [00:18] klamav fails to update, I cant figure out what the problem is, can someone help me please? [00:19] l337ingDisorder, after the shebang [00:19] I have a Dell Axim X5 im in the need to upload some drivers to it for my wireless card. I ahve a windows virual machine installed but i cant get it to see the device. is their a way to upload the drivers on linux to the device? [00:19] ActionParsnip1, yeah just made fresh install but ok [00:19] hi, dont open volvo ocean race in ubuntu with mozilla [00:19] Ones a 'Wired', ones a 'DSL' according to NetworkManager, but when I right click to choose the network, it lists both under 'Wired', and only let me selects one [00:19] nbeebo: see if you can find the error in websearches [00:20] unop: after the whole #!/bin/bash line or just the shebang itself? [00:20] rpgsimmaster: That's an interesting scenario ... I wonder if the NetworkManager developers thought about that ? [00:20] anyone here use an hp mini? or the hp mini ubuntu theme? [00:20] how can configure flash for volvo ocean race in mozilla [00:20] IntuitiveNipple: It's very annoying - I live on a network campus, and we have two sets of networks [00:20] l337ingDisorder, on line #2 :) i.e. not on the shebang line [00:20] we have an ADSL connection, and we have a local system which we like to use Direct Connect for [00:20] Windows works fine [00:20] ActionParsnip1, ok [00:21] Mac doesn't without a certain program, and I can't figure out how to do it in Ubuntu [00:21] unop: Oh i see.. tx [00:21] l337ingDisorder, you could put it on the shebang like this. #!/bin/bash -B [00:21] unfortunately, I'm a big filesharer, but I can't use both Internet and DC++ at the same time... Does anyone know of a way I could do it manually? [00:21] i had add another harddrive into my PC, after i put it, i just do the partition and reformat but i cant create any files on the hard disk and ther is only 1 files which named lost+found. so can i solve this issues [00:21] Just force Ubuntu to use both? [00:21] unop: whassat do anyway? no manpage for set... set --help isn't very helpful ;) [00:22] Question, How to change qt themes from gnome? [00:22] Question2, How do you shade a window in gnome? [00:22] l337ingDisorder, set is not an external command, it's a shell builtin. help set [00:23] rpgsimmaster: You could manually configure one interface so NM doesn't try to manage it [00:23] Dell Axim X5 Drivers [00:23] l337ingDisorder: man bash: "-B The shell performs brace expansion (see Brace Expansion above). This is on by default." [00:23] can anyone help me [00:23] IntuitiveNipple - Unfortunately I'm not quite sure how to do that. I could do that to my eth0, but how do I stop NM from managing it, and also set it up to automatically connect? [00:24] i had add another harddrive into my PC, after i put it, i just do the partition and reformat but i cant create any files on the hard disk and ther is only 1 files which named lost+found. so how can i solve this issues [00:24] cybercom - reformat it how, and with what? [00:24] rpgsimmaster: If you configure any interface in /etc/network/interfaces that infers it will be manually managed, and NM will leave it alone [00:24] !flash [00:24] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:24] using gparted ..... and format in ext2 [00:25] If i'm trying to install a program by untarring it first...what directory should it go in? [00:25] IntuitiveNipple: Okay. And if I want it back to being worked with by NM, how would I set it back? Is there an NM conf file for that sort of thing? [00:25] rpgsimmaster: Simply remove the entry for that interface (or comment it out) from /etc/network/interfaces [00:25] IntuitiveNipple: Thank you very much - I'll give it a go [00:25] looter, any directory you like, preferably a new directory - aptly named [00:25] rpgsimmaster: and, of course, restart NM so it discovers it [00:25] IntuitiveNipple: Thank you === rpgsimmaster is now known as rpgsim[away] [00:25] can anyone help me [00:26] rpgsimmaster: to restart NM sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart [00:26] is the flash player in the restricted extras package version 9 or 10? [00:26] i had add another harddrive into my PC, after i put it, i just do the partition and reformat but i cant create any files on the hard disk and ther is only 1 files which named lost+found. so how can i solve this issues [00:26] unop: ya but there isn't a default dir like /usr/something/something? [00:26] I'm setting up my ubuntu server, and I've installed xinetd via aptitude; however, it doesn't seem to be running. No PID is given when I do /etc/init.d/xinetd status [00:26] how can I check to see if xinetd is in fact running? [00:26] cybercom: It sounds as if the disk is mounted as 'root' and your current user ID doesn't have write permissions to it [00:26] looter, /usr/src [00:27] IntuitiveNipple: Okay, new problem - my /etc/network/interfaces file doesn't list eth0 - it looks like this: auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback [00:27] or doesn't it matter after I run the install script? [00:27] so.... how to change it [00:27] bpat1434: ps -ef | grep xinetd [00:27] looter, but you'll probably need to be in the same group as that owning /usr/src -- which is probably 'src' itself [00:27] so.... how to change it .... i means getting permission [00:27] flash 10 is driving me nuts and is too buggy [00:27] mikewu, thanks. [00:27] cybercom: sudo or su and run a shell or a file manager from the shell [00:27] rpgsim[away]: precisely... and because of that NM manages the interface. As soon as you add an entry for an interface to that file (and restart NM) NM will ignore it. [00:28] IntuitiveNipple: Ah, okay. Thank you [00:28] ActionParsnip1, I found the devices is sdd and made the folder in the media/usbdisk how would i put that command together? === keffie_jayx is now known as effie_jayx [00:28] i'm stilll learning on this ubuntu rpgsim[away] [00:29] rpgsim[away]: can u tell me how to do run the shell [00:29] is there a way to put flash 9 back on my system because 10 is to o buggy?

[00:31] ActionParsnip1, it is fat32 [00:31] mikewu, UID and GID expect numeric arguments [00:31] lwizardl: umm, apt-cache search pxe ... but yes [00:32] can you boot ubuntu via PXE? [00:33] fde, ok and would it also let me chose which install to do such as Ubuntu Desktop or Windows XP? [00:33] HOW TO DISABLE THE ROOT PERMISSION ON THE HARD DISK?????? [00:33] ActionParsnip1, dont think it will work the sudo fdisk -l comes back with a bunch of garbage looks like my partitions are corrupt [00:33] lwizardl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet [00:33] lwizardl: no, it will only do ubuntu/debian [00:33] ActionParsnip1, it does that when i have a zip drive or the phone attached to it [00:33] cybercom: What? Also, please don't use caps. We can read lowercase. [00:33] ok [00:33] cybercom: you don't, you add the user to the storage group [00:34] DJNomad: can yu pastebin the fdisk output please [00:34] fde: how to do that [00:34] cybercom: edit /etc/group with your favorite editor [00:34] cybercom: or mount it with user writability [00:35] ActionParsnip1: what is the commands [00:35] ActionParsnip1, http://pastebin.com/d1adbebeb [00:35] ActionParsnip1: adding the user to the storage group basically has the same effect as that is defined usually in the 'defaults' option [00:35] cybercom, fde: editing /etc/group is silly. Use `adduser user group` [00:35] Anyone know where the file location of a PRINT to PDF is stored? [00:35] Flannel: why is it silly? it is faster [00:36] fde: No? [00:36] Flannel: how to do it ????

[01:04] should ejabberd be running by default [01:04] Something from CLI other than synaptic [01:04] DJNomad, thats wierd its checked [01:04] slestak, you need to change the permission of the mount point to allow you to write to it [01:04] KevDog, dunno [01:04] nny: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [01:05] he is logged in, he has 700, so he can write to it, and he cannot delete tracks [01:05] sd32 you need to restart firefox before it will work on websites [01:05] DJNomad, yeah ive been having problems with version 10 [01:06] where do the display drivers hide these days? I looked in the good old xorg.conf but there it just states configured device but not which drivers are used. Is there a gui now for these things? cheers [01:06] KevDog is a restart required after doing that? [01:06] mrwes: he is logged in, he has 700, so he can write to it, and he cannot delete tracks [01:06] can anyone help me with a "Listen" music player problem? [01:06] wkerzend, there is a restricted drivers gui thing somewhere [01:06] nny: I don't think so, why?

[01:10] DJNomad: i'd fsck the drive to make sure its in order and correct, it doesnt look good, /dev/sde should look like the ones above it === lucas_ is now known as boludazo [01:10] anyone please [01:10] i bought a pc it came with the ubuntu 8.04 version and everythign was fine, so I updated it to the latlest version, but while i was updating a few screen came up and i didn't read it, it said something about replacing files [01:10] Kevdog, I want both to work but i'll take whatever I can get for the moment. Prefer wlan0 [01:10] Why does firefox hang on me? [01:10] i have flash 10 installed but web pages aren't coming up correctly is this a bug in flash or ubuntu? === boludazo is now known as o [01:11] jonkenny007: mount it with smbmount [01:11] i let the files replace each other, and when it restarted i was having problem with the drivers [01:11] i think the network card driver is corrupted, i was wondering if i could get that somewhere [01:11] ifroog: what have you recently changed with it? [01:11] Ryan_Chau, more than likely your system defaulted to the open source drivers, you may need to enable restricted drivers [01:12] mrwes: 700 says owner has rwx, group and world has none. [01:12] nny: Lets just see if eth0 can work. sudo ifconfig wlan0 down && sudo ifconfig eth0 down && sudo ifconfig eth0 up && sudo dhclient eth0 [01:12] ifroog: he doesn't like you [01:12] that sounds good, how do i enable the restricted drivers, I am new to ubuntu [01:12] mrwes: the mountpoint i pasted says joey owns it [01:12] slestak, from the terminal type chmod joey;joey /media/disk -- if that's the mount point [01:12] will GIMP save as an .svg? If not what will? [01:12] sd32: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-nonfree [01:13] looter: don't know about gimp. inkscape will though [01:13] shit...I mean chown joey;joey /mount/point [01:13] im on android wooooo [01:13] ActionParsnip1, thanks ill try that [01:13] sanenick, :D [01:13] sd32: if you are running a 64bit linux, i'd suggest downloading the 64bit tar.gz file and extract it to ~/.mozilla/plugins [01:13] Ryan_Chau, system/administration/hardware drivers [01:13] ActionParsnip1, no just 32 [01:14] jrib: great thx i'm installnig now [01:14] i tried that one, it shows nividia drivers and i installed that already but nothing about network drivers [01:14] sd32: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.d21.1.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz [01:14] KevDog got "wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: no such device" [01:14] sd32: ok thats cool then, no need for the link [01:14] I have a Dell Axim X5 im in the need to upload some drivers to it for my wireless card. I ahve a windows virual machine installed but i cant get it to see the device. is their a way to upload the drivers on linux to the device? [01:14] is there a manual way to install drivers into it, download them somewhere, and transfer them into the pc? [01:14] sd32: just use that command and you are golden [01:15] ifroog: are you running 64bit linux? [01:15] Ryan_Chau, the driver for your wifi card is probably still there, just not enabled because it is proprietary [01:15] I start firefox 3 and it takes up 90% of processing. [01:15] ActionParsnip1, No. === Jguy| is now known as Jguy [01:15] nny: What name is your wirless interface? eth1 then? [01:16] is there another way I can go about enabling it? sorry for the trouble I just can't seem to figure it out [01:16] DVA5912: the windows vm will see the host connections and use them, you just need some network configs [01:16] Does anyone know why Python built from source wouldn't have Readline support in Gutsy Gibbon? Python 2.6 [01:16] RUnning it in safe mode too does the same. [01:16] I'm looking for a program that moves files, can show progress, and has an "Overwrite if size differs" option. (mc does not work for me in this situation). [01:16] i'm directly connecting it with a cat 5 cable, but when i go to network settings it doesn't have any networks there [01:16] ifroog: do you have any extensions installed? [01:16] and when I use the Add network it doesn't do anything either [01:17] dKingston, only one. [01:17] felixsulla: I have no idea, but probably didnt compile it correctly then [01:17] firebug [01:17] DVA5912: set your gateway on the guest as the ip of your router and your primary dns to 10.0.2.3 [01:17] which i disabled.

Is there somewhere you can recommend to read about that? [01:17] ActionParsnip1, isnt non free for 64 bit? [01:17] ifroog: try: killall firefox; mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_old; firefox & [01:17] KevDog sorry not sure. ifconfig lists eth0, eth0:avahi ,lo, pan0, pan0:avahi [01:18] ok, brb.

[01:18] awsome [01:18] is there a reason that Install has no LVM or encrypt for Use As during partitioning? I am trying manual instead of guided. [01:19] Is there a way to get a harddrive to power down when not in use? I have one that is unmounted, yet, it still feels like its spinning, and its giving off plenty of heat (so its clearly on). [01:19] DVA5912: its part of getting internet on vbox, I'd the vbox will need configuring to use networking which you can do once the guest system is powered off [01:19] fnordpro: try the alternate install cd [01:19] nny: so forget the wlan0 part - but I see that the wireless driver for your wireless card is incorrect [01:19] hey can someone tell me how to fix this error that i get when i run 'apt-get update', the error is "GPG error: http [01:19] anyone ever notice how gnome-terminal's colors aren't as bright as xterm's and aterm's ? [01:19] fnordpro: it has support for lvm, not sure about encryption, though. it's not gui, however, if that makes a difference [01:19] sd32: nonfree is for both [01:20] KevDog is there a way to just reset all of this? [01:20] sd32: the tar.gz file is a native 64bit plugin for 64bit systems and is awesome [01:20] ActionParsnip1, That worked :) [01:20] Thanks..

[01:20] loadepfaref: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:20] ifroog: ok now you know your profile is to blame [01:20] how do I reformat ubuntu and reinstall it? i think i need a fresh install to fix my problem [01:20] nny: What do you want to reset? [01:20] Ryan_Chau: what is your problem? [01:20] i can't paste because i need to get apt-get working in order to download wgetpaste [01:21] ifroog: your old settings (stored passwords / faves) are in ~/.mozilla_old [01:21] nny: reboot, however I doubt it will do much but you could try [01:21] ActionParsnip1, Okies :) [01:21] mrwes: do you mean chown joey:joey? joey is already the owner, root is the group owner. === epswing_ is now known as epswing [01:21] can someone msg me how to fix error - don't just say it cuz i can't see who its directed too [01:21] it says it can't find a active network when I plug in my cat5 cable for internet, but when i plug it into my laptop which is also running ubuntu it works [01:21] ActionParsnip1: Its setup as a automatic [01:21] dkulchenko: thanks. is alternate install a different iso or do i need to select it during boot? [01:21] ifroog: you can either rebuild a new profile, or rename back to work out whats what [01:21] KevDog I guess my ethernet and wifi since neither are working. I've restarted twice already. [01:21] but I do have a ubuntu.iso file so i was thinking about burning it and reinstalling it again [01:21] Ryan_Chau: in your terminal use the command "ifconfig" to see if you have eth0. [01:21] DVA5912: check the config, it may not be set to use networking [01:21] okay [01:21] ActionParsnip1, I got the device found as a scsi5 using the usb adapter ,you think that would help? [01:22] Ryan_Chau: if you don't, try sudo ifconfig eth0 up [01:22] DVA5912: you have to manually appy the settings to get web access though [01:22] nny: Post your info in the forums in the networking section. Youve got big time driver errors then -- maybe. Hard to know without all the facts! [01:22] fnordpro: different iso [01:22] ActionParsnip1: im not sure you know what im doing. The vm sees the Dell Axim X5 but it wont active sync. It wont see it on active sync. [01:22] fnordpro: it's a completely text-based installer, if you're okay with that [01:22] DJNomad: as long as it can be named as a raw device /dev you can mount it [01:22] ActionParsnip1, arrrg stickam still isnt coming up correctly [01:23] i can access a computer through ssh & httpd but i cannot access web from inside it (e.g wget)..how to fix that? [01:23] hi [01:23] no i wasn't able to [01:23] KevDog ok thanks. I'm trying to avoid reinstalling everything is there a way to just reinstall all my drivers without already having internet? [01:23] Ryan_Chau: was not able to what? [01:23] okay i'll try the other command [01:23] DVA5912: active sync? [01:23] nny: YES! [01:23] Thanks ActionParsnip1 [01:23] ActionParsnip1: its a tool MS uses to sync devices. Its needed to sync. Unless ubuntu has another way [01:23] smbmount is working [01:24] DVA5912: oh like some pda thing? [01:24] it says unable to resolve host dslextreme [01:24] ActionParsnip1, can you post the command again ,sorry i lost it and tried one found on website and its saying cant find in fstab mstab [01:24] jonkenny007: np man [01:24] but i can't find the dslextreme host anywhere [01:24] ActionParsnip1: Yes [01:24] DJNomad: sudo fdisk -l [01:24] besides during the login screen, on the bottom right it says dslextreme\\ [01:24] or something, i think that's the computer or network name, but i don't know how to get to it [01:24] One more question thought.. stupid i know, but i am new.. how do I give permission to my user to mount the drive (smbmount) without sudo use?

[01:59] ok i am just gonna ask the question. the highest resolution i can get is 1152x864 it is showing my intel card as installed video adapter how can i get it to regognise my card so i can use 1280x1024 at least [01:59] dlublink: use the version in 8.04.2 [01:59] What can i use to see what devices are connected? [01:59] Asterisk does not compile on 8.04.2 [01:59] Asterisk 1.2* [02:00] dlublink: but why do you need such an ancient version? its not like they removed features in later editions [02:00] I have a software that I have to support for 6 months and I am told it does not run on asterisk 1.4 [02:00] how do i backup my system?

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [02:02] dooco: well I have no idea what your question is, so I can't really help you [02:02] mrpockets: yep [02:02] dooco, intel cards are supported out of the box, even though it shows installed video driver or whatnot its actually using the proper one [02:02] jrib: scroll up? bad resolution [02:02] is it installed already? [02:02] is it mroe stable than it was when it came out? [02:02] dooco, unless you messed with it [02:02] ok [02:02] hi there [02:02] thanks [02:02] i think the problem is because there are too many people in the channel 1300+ [02:03] I'll give it a shot with asterisk 1.4 see what happens [02:03] !x > dooco [02:03] dooco, please see my private message [02:03] dooco, type xrandr on the terminal does it list your resolution?

[02:04] sanenick: only around 20 are talking at a given time... just hide join/part messages and its not hard to follow at all [02:04] hey guys thanks for your help [02:04] BCM43: all right.. -o was just me being stupid (it's where the options go) so i removed it and now get the error message: mount error 13 = Permission denied [02:04] Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) [02:04] can someone tell me how i can edit my interfaces file under /ect/network/ [02:04] everytime i edit it it says i don't have permission to save this file [02:04] cannot unmount a mounted fs. get msg:'device is busy'. how now?

[02:05] okay, but i am new to ubuntu so how do i use the sudo? [02:05] yfk, i dont think writing to hfs+ is supported by linux [02:05] do i go in the termnal and type in? sudo /etc/network/interfaces [02:06] Ryan_Chau: no... sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces ... or gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces is likely what you want [02:06] usser: the people in #Debian told me it is [02:06] yfk: install hfsplus [02:06] dooco, and glxinfo, what is OpenGL renderer string should be something like this OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM 20061102 x86/MMX/SSE2 [02:06] !search hfsplus [02:06] Found: === cmdshftn is now known as cmdshftn|afk [02:07] I need to learn how to use this bot again... but I think there is also hfsplus-tools etc [02:07] yfk, i dunno take a look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=543159 === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [02:07] usser: apt-cache show hfsplus ... guessing is not useful [02:08] how can I mount a /proc in a chroot environment?

[02:10] do most programs that compile in debian compile fine in ubuntu? [02:10] i have a ubuntu disk, how do i get the bloody thing to work? [02:10] boot_loop, yes thats generally true [02:10] usser i tried that command u sent me before the link and it loked my pc so i had to restart [02:10] OrlandoBloom: make sure your boot order in your bios is set to check for CD-rom first, then boot from it [02:10] boot_loop: most ubuntu programs are debian packages recompiled for ubuntu build environments... they may be heavily patched though to compile on the newer stuff [02:10] I have a Dell Axim Cradle. Does it need to be pluged into power outlet before i can sync? and if so, can i use a 6 v adapter? its all i got thats close enough [02:10] dooco, glxinfo?? [02:11] dooco, really?

Does anyone know where the eggdrop folder is located with the config file that ubunto default installs to? [02:21] fde: sorry i crashed out [02:21] ...YOU are not my terminal! [02:21] fde, does that mean I can still use the CD that i downloaded? [02:21] Ryan_Chau: so download one? [02:21] bigjay i cant get ubuntu to recognise the correct driver for my integrated intel video [02:21] Or a command I could type to see where the installation took place [02:21] fde, thanks [02:21] weshley: in /etc if it exists at all [02:21] danbhfive_jauny: Ive tried an apt-get remove is their another command for purging?

[02:22] bruenig; THANKS [02:22] tested2: apt-get remove --purge I believe [02:22] fde: I'm not sure how to tell but it says direct rendering: Yes [02:22] usser http://paste.ubuntu.com/120400/ [02:23] chort27: lspci | grep -i graphic [02:23] unbuntu does not work on my comp. i put the disk in. i did the bio change so it boot from cd- it didnt work. Any other ideas? [02:23] how can i disable window animation during minimize or maximize? [02:23] Hi, how do I ignore messages such as "Feb 19 19:58:23 cixar kernel: [57734.364187] ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device [ffff88013fa3f7e0] 'off'" in syslog? it filters up syslog and makes it almost useless [02:23] OrlandoBloom: its ubuntu not unbuntu [02:23] usser see lines 17-19 that seems to be the problem [02:24] OrlandoBloom: stop trolling [02:24] fde: i typed that but it just gae me another blank terminal command line - nothing happened [02:24] dmesg should tell me where my flash drive is located right ? [02:24] fde: I open System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and the list is empty and it say "No Proprietary drivers are in use on this system". [02:24] DJNomad: yes [02:24] pl [02:24] I'm trying to add My Documents from a windows computer as an automount in fstab but I don't think it's recognizes the syntax I'm using for My Documents. What do I use for the space? in the network browser it uses my%20documents. [02:25] dooco, no its fine, since hardy ubuntu autodetects your resolutions/monitors [02:25] chort27: means thats not the video line... so it returned nothing... lspci | grep -i vga [02:25] dooco, no need to explicitly specify it [02:25] ok [02:25] Hi I'm totally not on Jaunty and am on Intrepid, do you know how I can, after commenting out the xorg-edgers repo, revert to the official packages [02:25] merther: what are you mounting exactly? another partition, drive? or is this some sort of samba share or what [02:25] their version number is less so an upgrade won't work [02:26] dTx: have you tried just apt-get installing the package? [02:26] fde: VGA Compatible controller: ATI Technologies INC Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] [02:26] the version number in xorg-edgers is higher so it just says its already installed [02:26] samba share... so on that computer I can mount a folder called shared using 192.168.1.2/shared but it has an issue with 192.168.1.2/my%20documents [02:26] danhbfive_jaunty: got it working thanks also had to purge mysql-common [02:26] http://pastebin.com/d78cd6467 [02:26] is there a way to tell apt-get to force install only currently available versions? [02:27] in current repos? [02:27] chort27: lsmod | grep fglrx return anything (just yes or no) [02:27] dTx: you have to tell apt the specific version if you are downgrading [02:27] if anyone knows how to find it fast would ya pleast [02:27] merther: well I would guess you want to put my\ documents, or perhaps quote the entire thing "my documents" [02:27] dooco, it looks fine [02:27] I am new and it is crazy [02:27] is there a way to show what versions are available? [02:27] dooco, no errors or anything. are you running compiz right now? [02:27] weird aint it :) [02:27] like in apt-cache search or something [02:27] tried that but it didn't work, though that was a while ago when I had another problem. I'll try that again real quick. [02:27] chort27: Also, what version of Ubuntu? Older versions, fglrx didn't support compositing [02:27] dooco, cant imagine why glxinfo would lock your machine [02:27] tested2: cool [02:27] dTx: apt-cache policy will show you the versions [02:27] fde: grep: return: No such file or directory [02:28] where is compiz [02:28] dooco, disable compiz if running, and try glxinfo again, only dont restart try killing xserver if it locks down with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE [02:28] tell me exactly what you typed... there is no reason for it to return that chort27 [02:28] dooco, 3d effects, cube wobbly windows etc [02:28] fdeL 8.04 [02:28] fde: lsmod | grep fglrx return anything [02:28] dooco, you need 1280x1024 right? [02:28] when I do either of those things it says it can't find the mount point in fstab [02:28] yup [02:28] thats all i need [02:29] merther: ask in #samba [02:29] chort27: #ubuntu-ppc ... I would guess there is no fglrx driver for ppc though [02:29] ty [02:29] I've seen a few with it working fde [02:29] dooco, pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/120402/ [02:31] chort27: uhh... make that #ubuntu-powerpc ... they'll know more, PPC isn't even officially supported since Apple switched platforms unfortunately.... other distros have official support [02:31] does anyone know about sane (i have to scan multiple pages and i seems i have to type in the number a priori) [02:32] i guess i could just put in a big number . . .

[02:37] ryan you install and that deletes it [02:38] Ryan_Chau: well, if you boot the cd, and go through the install process, at a certain point, you will get to the partitioner. Either ask it to delete everything and partition automatically, or if you do it manually, just mark the partitions for reformat [02:38] i'm trying to install tibia, a mmo for linux, i can't get it to work [02:39] danbhfive_jaunty: the problem is when my ubuntu won't boot the cd, it says it can't find the AUTORUN, and when i open the cd and click on the .exe it won't open it either [02:39] you will want it to use entire disk ryan [02:39] folks, when i boot up i got busybox, i don't have cd and FCSK command isn't allowed ? any help plz ??

Maybe a package is missing: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ && sudo apt-get install linux-generic ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:44] dooco, you can use this tool to generate modelines http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl or gtf on the terminal if you dont have access to internet [02:44] hi can anyone help to guide me a lil on how to reverse my ip to hostname ? i am receiving 229.110.110.203.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) [02:44] pgreptom, from an ssh session i think you can do SCREEN=:0 app [02:44] does opera work with third party flash plugins?

[03:24] x__, http://www.osalt.com/powerpoint [03:25] any easy way to get ls to go into a text file with spaces instead of line breaks? [03:25] i need it in one continuous line :( [03:25] I'm running Ubuntu on a quad core. It seems to prefer one CPU over the rest. Is there a way to better distribute that? Is it more efficient to load on one? I'm not too keen on the ups and downs of serial vs. parallel processing in Linux... [03:25] Ishmael, if you mean you want to CD into a folder with spaces you do folder\ name [03:25] assuming the folder is called 'folder name' [03:25] dracie, i see "PreInit failed for input device 'Configured Mouse'" [03:26] no, i need a list of all the files within a folder, but in one line, without
's [03:26] Ishmael, What about replace all? [03:26] how do i enter an enter into replace all? [03:26] that's my problem ;( it just tries to find when i hit enter, if i knew the keyboard code it would be easier...maybe? [03:26] Well, if your editor supports regexp [03:27] Whats a good network manager. I have the one that comes with Ubuntu but it doesnt let me use AES encription. [03:27] Ishmael, with gedit, you can use \n as "new line" [03:27] night-wm, I am not sure how to fix it - i think the best way to configure it would to be through hal [03:27] Ishmael, so in gedit replace all \n for a whitespace [03:28] Any ideas? [03:28] Ishmael, you can most likely do this directly via command line with a substition, not sure how to do that in bash tho [03:28] dracie, how do i go about doing that [03:28] Anyone know how to get the Back and Forward mouse button to work in Nautilus (Ubuntu 8.10)? [03:28] night-wm, I am not sure but I am looking at stuff about it [03:29] dracie, alright thanks === WeSkErSaMa is now known as [_ZaN_] [03:29] ScottG489, How does the network manager prevents you from using AES encryption? [03:30] ldiamond google it aka your mouse model and just add the word ubuntu or what ever linux OS' ur using [03:30] is XEN stable on [03:30] ubuntu [03:30] ? [03:30] ldiamond: check this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto [03:30] jkristheking, I tried that, the only thing I found is a completely stupid hack. [03:30] greg just gave out a url to one of these stupid hacks === Omega_42 is now known as Omega42 [03:31] ldiamond: haha try uh.. daym it i forget what it's called [03:31] My back and forward button work well in firefox. [03:31] ldiamond: It doesn't have it listed in any of the options when I try to make a custom network connection [03:31] In the mouse properties, I can get the light to light up when I click my back and forward buttons [03:31] ScottG489, It shouldnt be an option, are you talking about Wireless connection? [03:32] Dracie: it d [03:32] ScottG489, AES is a symetric key block cipher that is used commonly in WPA2 and TLSv1. [03:32] ldiamond: what kinda mouse you using [03:32] jkristheking, Logitech G5 [03:33] Dracie: my coputer keep rebooting when I click shut up....why is it doing ...need some help on how to stop this.... [03:33] thanks in advance [03:33] ldiamond: Yes, I need to to connect to my schools wifi. [03:33] Nasra, what parts do you have/what computer model? [03:34] Has anybody noticed the way that when you resume from suspend, it flashes the contents of your screen sometimes? [03:34] ScottG489, Then, you don't decide what cipher you use, the Wireless router does. [03:34] it's a compaq AMD64 [03:34] It seems like a security concern, but I'm curious if it's just me. [03:34] Anyone have any experience w/ seamless remote desktop? [03:35] mlissner, it doesnt flash for me, and thats not really a security concern [03:35] has any one here used pphtml? [03:35] Dracie: 512ram 120gb compaq AMD64... [03:35] Nasra, a model number? [03:35] Dracie: Compaq Presario [03:35] Dracie: could be Nasra has an acpi issue.. but I'm just guessing [03:35] ldiamond, it's doesn't always do it, but it could be a concern, because it could allow somebody to see the contents of your screen, when they should see the password prompt... [03:36] yeah Scunizi good call [03:36] ldiamond: Yes but I still think I need to enable it somehow. I looked at my schools Windows XP guide to find out what kind of wireless settings I needed and AES along with PEAP and WPA were some of the things it mentioned. There seems to be an option for all of those things in NetworkManager besides AES [03:36] Dracie: kernel line? acpi=off or someting? [03:36] mlissner, for a fraction of a second. Did you know you could dump the entire memory to a firewire device only with physical access? Thats a security concern [03:37] Nasra, you could try rebooting with the boot optioned added acpi=off [03:37] I just installed ubuntu server, I get to grub loading, please wait... and then it give me an Error 14, any ideas why this could be? I did a raid 5 install for the drives. === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [03:37] it's really weird I installed a sound card the a couple days ago.....could it be that .. [03:37] okay [03:37] ldiamond: hmm [03:37] ScottG489, AES isnt a choice you have, but your hardware has to support it. [03:37] ldiamond, that's certainly a concern too. So does this mean it does it to you too? [03:37] Nasra, do you know how? [03:37] mlissner, the flash on resume, no. [03:37] hitting f10 when rebooting correct? === cary_ is now known as Commie_Cary [03:38] mlissner, most likely a video driver issue, check if you can get a newer version of the restricted video driver of your hardware. [03:38] Dracie: letme try that....be right back.... [03:39] Nasra, when it says grub or something, press escape and then press e to edit the first boot option, then press e again to edit the actual boot parameters [03:39] add acpi=off to the end and press enter [03:39] Dracie: okay [03:39] and then press b [03:40] isn't acpi really only for laptops anyways? [03:40] ScottG489, if you absolutely want another network manager, WICD is nice. [03:40] are there known issues with ibex and firefox? trying to help a friend who just downloaded a bunch of system upgrades and now firefox is running very slow though not using a lot of memory. Suggestions? [03:40] night-wm, sorry I can't seem to find a solution =[ [03:40] what version of the G5 do you have? [03:41] hey how do I find out when a package was installed? [03:41] dracie, um well it's the orange one [03:41] I have searched for ibex and firefox but there is no definitive issue or solution posted [03:41] anteaya, there are issues yes, some are with Flash tho. [03:41] night-wm, it might say something on the bottom of it [03:41] like revision 7 or smthng [03:41] anteaya, you might want to use Firefox's binaries instead of the Ubuntu package [03:41] ldiamond, what is the issue with Flash? [03:41] anteaya, check the CPU usage of Firefox too [03:41] ldiamond: Hey sry i went out to the grill [03:42] anteaya: have them rename ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla.backup and restart FF to see what happens. [03:42] anteaya, Made firefox crash and high CPU usage [03:42] Scunizi, will try that, thanks [03:42] anteaya, the newest binaries from Adobe should solve it [03:42] anteaya: could just be a plugin or adon that's messing things up [03:42] most of the biggest issues with firefox are fixed by removing fconfigs [03:42] ScottG489, WICD is a good network manager, but I dont believe it will solve your problem [03:42] ldiamond: is WICD better then the nm applet? I would think there would be something better then the default one that comes with ubuntu. It seems kinda small too [03:42] ldiamond: how do you get Firefox binaries from Adobe..???? [03:43] Scunizi, You get Flash binaries from adobe. [03:43] dracie, nope there's nothing under there. just a P/N and a PID. [03:43] does anybody know a way to improve Skype call quality in Intrepid? [03:43] hey how would I roll back a version of growisofs? [03:43] Scunizi, check a few lines back, I stated the Flash issue. [03:43] marshall: it all depends on your microphone settings and internet connection [03:43] marshall: not much more [03:44] dracie, the P/N is 831411-1000 [03:44] ldiamond, Scunizi thanks guys, transmitted the rename suggestion and will go from there [03:44] ScottG489, Better, I dont know, I used to use WICD back a few months ago... it works well, but I have no problem with the default nm now [03:44] pHreaksYcle, how do i optimize my internet settings for skype? [03:44] night-wm, hmm =-[ I don't think that really gives to any real versioning [03:44] ldiamond: yea i found that ppthtml works for wat i need it to just to view the text in a power point file [03:44] marshall: look up something for your router called QoS [03:44] x__, oh, then its a much simpler problem. [03:44] night-wm, I do know the g5 uses the edev mouse protocole [03:44] ldiamond, so the flash suggestion is to uninstall flash as an ubunut package and reinstall flash as a binary package from adobe? [03:44] ldiamond: Well I know my hardware does support AES because back when I had Vista on my laptop I was able to connect to my schools wifi fine after following the directions. [03:45] pHreaksYcle, ive got the router QoS page open right now [03:45] marshall: depending on what router you have you can tell it to give more bandwidth to your VoIP cals [03:45] dracie, yea that's the only thing that's under there [03:45] anteaya, you could do it that way. The flash plugin is located in ~/.mozilla/plugins [03:46] night-wm, ok, well I think it might work if you tell hal to explicitly to make the mouse use that one protocle [03:46] marshall: im not sure about specifics, look up how to specifically do it by searching google for your router and skype [03:46] plenty of guides im guessing [03:46] ldiamond, thanks I will see how the first suggestion goes and then go for that one [03:46] anteaya, its called libflashplayer.so. Replacing this file with the Adobe's binaries will work just fine [03:46] ldiamond, thanks so much, I will consider that my next suggestion [03:46] dracie, ok how would i go about doing that [03:46] ScottG489, if your hardware has WPA2 support, it supports AES [03:47] night-wm, hmm my knowledge isn't that good so bear with me i'll give it a try =] [03:47] anteaya, flash is only the problem is the issue occurs on flash sites. [03:47] dracie, alright no problem =) [03:47] anteaya, otherwise, the Firefox binaries might be the problem [03:47] anteaya, you can download these binaries directly from firefox.com [03:48] could anyone ever sell linux for a lot of money or does the gnu infrastructure prevent that [03:48] Whats eveyone up to [03:48] homeskill, people sell linux [03:48] homeskill, people already sell linux (for the support) [03:48] hey, I have a bcm4312, and the network manager bargraph for connection strength is showing no bars. The connection is fine, and I can use the network, but it always look like I have no connection, and iwconfig doesn't show anything [03:48] with support bundled and some propietary extentions [03:48] ldiamond, thanks I am taking notes [03:48] homeskill, Redhat enterprise is an example [03:48] is there something I can do about this? [03:48] lol [03:48] ldiamond: YEa I have WPA and WPA2 for personal and enterprise [03:49] is wpa good enough or only wpa2 [03:49] homeskill: Though the real money is not selling the linux- but providing support. (Though just look at Apple- But they also sell hardware they know works with their OS, plus some eyecandy) [03:49] ldiamond: So how do i enabled AES? [03:49] homeskill: Ubuntu is sold now in Best buy but includes restricted codecs that have had their license paid for by the purchase price [03:49] ScottG489, your card will therefore encrypt using AES without problem. [03:49] ScottG489, you dont have to enable this, its burnt in your wireless card [03:49] ldiamond: Oh, so then I guess theres some other problem then :/ [03:49] Executing 'builtin_dd if=/dev/fd/0 of=/dev/scd0 obs=32k seek=0' [03:49] :-[ PERFORM OPC failed with SK=3h/ASC=73h/ACQ=03h]: Input/output error [03:49] can somebody help me fix this error please? [03:49] ScottG489, Might be related to PEAP [03:49] Scunizi you mean ubuntu is sold byitself in stores or preinstalled on a computer? [03:50] ScottG489, are you at school right now? [03:50] homeskill: packaged [03:50] i'm sorry, whatever i did, i froze me up [03:50] night-wm, I am not sure if this will help but I can pastebin my hal config for my trackball mouse [03:50] Scunizi how much does it cost compared to windows [03:50] and i wasn't able to get any of your awesome advice [03:50] i'll give you a taste of syntax [03:50] ldiamond: No I just got home. What do you think the problem could be with PEAP? [03:50] it'll* [03:50] dracie, alright lets see [03:50] ldiamond: I've tried quite a few different configurations to try to get it to work [03:50] ScottG489, I dont know, are you able to connect to the Access Point? [03:51] homeskill: $20-$25 vs $99+ [03:51] is anyone here fimialr with ldap and samba as a pdc [03:51] samba as a pdc [03:51] ldiamond: What is that? I am able to see the network [03:51] homeskill: that kind of topics should be talked in #ubuntu-offtopic when people are wanting help [03:51] ok [03:51] homeskill, you can order a free Ubuntu CD online (shipped to you for free). Its easy to install. [03:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/120434/ night-wm [03:52] homeskill: I was just looking online and .. nothing now. [03:52] night-wm, I forgot how to figure out the mouse's id [03:52] ScottG489, See the network and connect to it, but unable to access the internet. [03:52] so, how might i remove the "enter" marks on a txt file? [03:52] ldiamond: No I can not connected. I am not able to aquire an IP address [03:52] Ishmael, as I told you earlier, open the text file in Gedit, go to search, replace, and replace \n with a space. [03:53] ScottG489, Whats your wireless card? [03:53] ldiamond, sorry, my entire system froze while i was trying to open the huge file, thanks for the help [03:53] ldiamond, could you do cat file | sed s/\n/ /g [03:53] dracie, hmm alright where is the hal config [03:53] Ishmael, Dracie's solution works too. [03:54] ldiamond, ok thx i wasn't sure if my syntax was right [03:54] can someone help me im having a hard time connecting my xp pro workstation to my samba pdc [03:54] Ishmael, output it to another file with > file.txt [03:54] Dracie, actually, I think its not right :p [03:54] night-wm, /etc/hal/fdi/policy/*.fdi are where you put hal polcies [03:54] ldiamond, lol [03:54] i'll try it [03:55] dracie: wow [03:56] ldiamond: Dell 1510 Wireless-N Card [03:56] Are you able to connect to other WPA2 networks? (maybe your home network using WPA2) ? [03:57] I upgraded to 8.10 and skype isn't working, any ideas? [03:58] hola [03:58] hablo español [03:58] dracie, i think i found the hal config but i don't see anything regarding the mouse [03:58] sagredo: reinstall. [03:58] sagredo: skype that is [03:58] ldiamond: Well I think I have a router/network card compatibility issue at home. The only network I connect to wirelessly consistantly is the apple stores wifi [03:58] somebody spoken spanish? [03:58] !es | jackfgr [03:58] jackfgr: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [03:58] night-wm, yeah you put in a new .fdi file for another device [03:58] ah ok === goxil is now known as nurie [03:59] Scunizi: sounds good [03:59] ldiamond, Scunizi thanks guys the renaming of ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla_backup and the restart seemed to have solved the problem for now, and I told him about the suggestion to download the flash binary from adobe, cheers guys [03:59] ldiamond: I work near the apple store and its really the only network I can use === smartasstronaut is now known as smartasstronaut_ [04:00] ScottG489, Then I dont know what the issue is, maybe Dell can help [04:00] anteaya: good to hear. [04:00] ldiamond: They dont use any sort of verification [04:00] Whats the command to unmount smbmounts please? [04:00] hello? [04:01] can anyone help me fix the speakers, all that comes out is static noise. [04:01] thanks ldiamond, using \n i was able to input the proper code wrapping for every file :D [04:01] what does killall gnome-panel do ? [04:02] it just refreshes gnome or will kill what I have open ? [04:02] does anyone know how to fix the speakers so that there is no static?? Please help [04:02] I realize I'm totally nitpicking here....but my gnome panel casts a shadow on all windows underneath it, including maximized windows, which is ugly. Can I make it not do this without disabling its shadow alltogether? [04:03] Brack101: no, although metacity has an ugly workaround in its compositor [04:03] crdlb: go on... [04:03] Brack101: to where? [04:04] all that comes out of my speakers is static...does anyone know how to fix this?? Please help [04:04] how can I use said workaround? [04:04] metacity [04:04] you're using compiz [04:04] decha [04:04] oh so you're saying I have to stop using compiz [04:04] I just turn off gnome-panel's shadow [04:05] but if you want the hack, you'd have to use metacity's compositor [04:05] but then it doesn't cast a shadow on the desktop :( [04:05] (even more ridiculous I know) [04:05] How flush apt-get's cache? [04:05] dracie, is there a specific name i should be calling the new *.fdi file? [04:05] night-wm, anything works [04:05] dracie, ok [04:05] I'd rather have it cast a shadow on maximized apps than not at all [04:05] reverendnathan, apt-get clean [04:05] it just bothers me because my desktop looks SO much like leopard but this shadow runs it === Inc`` is now known as Inc` === kmad is now known as an0n [04:06] Brack101, with the window decorations on the wrong side of the windows and everything? ;-) [04:06] indeed [04:07] ai............ [04:07] Brack101: the problem is that the panel is stacked above the windows, so the panel's shadow would have to be stacked independently (or a hack in the drawing code would be needed, like metacity does) [04:08] or it could just be "always below" and then reserve the space on top for it [04:08] hi, anyone here that can help me with pure-ftpd on ubuntu 8.10? [04:08] http://i44.tinypic.com/2vvrlmu.png - here it is looking like leopard [04:09] Brack101: think of the bottom panel; windows have to slide under it [04:09] jochar, just ask the question and if someone can, they will. [04:09] the same would happen with the top panel if constrain Y weren't enabled [04:09] ftp: connect: Connection refused [04:09] ^^this is what i get when i try to connect to localhost [04:10] Brack101, that is pretty close. Now just attach the current window's menu to the top of the screen and you'll be in business. [04:10] Hello all [04:10] jochar, is the daemon running? [04:10] http://i40.tinypic.com/rj4i06.jpg here it is with mr. evil shadow ruining my fun [04:10] How do I completely migrate my installation to a different computer? [04:11] jochar, is it up and running even? [04:11] shabati: will the new computer have an os on it or will what you have now work [04:11] Apt-Get is saying K3b is "upgradable", but it's the same version I have installed. How do I fix this? Already tried "sudo apt-get clean" [04:11] ho do i find that out? when i restart it it seems to be okay [04:11] how do i remove the arrows in the ubuntu menu? [04:11] reverendnathan: are you getting it from a PPA or something? [04:12] jochar, /etc/init.d/ftpd status [04:12] dido apt get autoclean [04:12] sudo /etc/init.d/ftpd status [04:13] Scunizi: Either way is fine. I can install ubuntu on it [04:13] ok I kinda figured nobody would really care about my shadow [04:13] *sigh* I tried [04:13] I'm just looking for a sure fire way to not lose any settings or files [04:13] sudo: /etc/init.d/ftpd: command not found [04:13] samn [04:13] when i double click an html document, it opens in Text Editor, how to change the default app to FireFox? [04:13] damn even [04:13] i don't have pure-ftpd installed so i don't know the exact command [04:13] jochar: no that's a good thing, now you know what's wrong === Omega_42 is now known as Omega42 [04:13] reverendnathan: there was a bug a long time ago where compiz from the compiz PPA would never disappear from the update-manager because of a capitalisation difference in the metadata [04:14] Scunizi: I have /home installed on a separate partition [04:14] shabati: well if you don't mind wiping out whatever is on the new computer you can use partimage to image your partitions now and restore them to the new machine.. the other way is to put your current HD into the new machine and boot from it. [04:14] could be something similar happening now, if you're using a package from outside the main repos [04:14] jochar, type sudo /etc/init.d/pure then hit tab a couple times and see if it fills in a name [04:14] shabati: having /home seperate was a good move. much easier.. [04:14] if it does use that name and type status [04:14] I was thinking of using partimage, but how would that work with a bigger hard drive and/or different hardware?? [04:15] crdlb: I have only the ubuntu dbs [04:15] anyone have a good page I can check out to learn unix? [04:15] i got pure-ftpd there [04:15] cool [04:15] sudo /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd status [04:15] # sudo /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd status [04:15] Usage: /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd {start|stop|restart|force-reload} [04:15] dang [04:15] how do I find out what version of ssh I'm using on my ubuntu server? [04:16] ok jochar, type 'ps -ef | grep ftp' [04:16] root 17488 30485 0 07:17 pts/0 00:00:00 grep ftp [04:16] anathematic: you can apt-cache search openssh ... there are other ways that are more direct but I can't remember them [04:17] ok jochar, type 'sudo /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start' [04:17] it's not running [04:17] anathematic, ssh -V [04:17] there you go! [04:17] I updated to 8.10 and skype reports: "Problem with Audio Playback"; I tried reinstalling the program but it still returns the same error [04:17] Starting ftp server: Running: /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -l puredb:/etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.pdb -Y 1 -E -c 20 -X -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -C 4 -p 4500:4600 -x -P xxx.xx.xx.xx -R -u 1000 -b -A -S ,21 -B [04:17] should be there internal or external ip? [04:18] not sure [04:18] try connecting though [04:18] ftp localhost [04:19] ftp: connect: Connection refused < on both internal and external and localhost [04:19] hmm [04:19] type 'ps -ef | grep ftp' again [04:19] its a vps server that im using [04:19] Where does Ff save its bookmarks? [04:19] How can I have alsamixer show more options? [04:20] mrpockets, ~/.mozilla/firefox//bookmarks.html [04:20] thanks [04:20] np [04:21] so what now? [04:21] rebuild? [04:21] did it show the same thing? pure-ftpd isn't running? [04:21] we manually started it, so if it's not running now that means it died trying to start up [04:21] well if i use 'top' its not there [04:21] it wouldn't be at the top though [04:21] it's sitting idle [04:21] nvm, i found out how [04:21] thanks!

So you just iterate through the files one by one, get the md5sum, see if that md5sum has already been gotten before, if it has delete the file, if it hasn't add the md5sum to the array, and move on to the next file [04:36] this is sure to delete only pure duplicates [04:36] um, why does my server not respond to pings? and should it (for nagios monitoring purposes)? how can i make it do so?

I was thinking that the config file in /etc/vmware-server-console was just my config file for my own console on my laptop. i'm doing data entry and life would be sweet if the arrow keys worked. you think i need to shut down the remote virtual machines for this? i could do that. [05:26] !pdf [05:26] pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [05:26] brian7888, that wasn't meant for you [05:26] oh ok [05:27] lg29: the config is probalby on the remote servers.. you might need to edit those and then just restart vmware services on the remote server [05:27] Hi. I have a strange bug in Firefox and Swiftfox, with the SVN Murrine engine. With the latest version installed, I have a white border around my address bar and search bar. It goes away if I mouse over it, but it comes back if I do, well, most anything. Can anyone help me fix this? I can upload a screenshot of the problem if necessary. [05:27] kazimir, I'm not sure which module your headset uses [05:27] hey guys i need superkaramba themes [05:27] how i can find that [05:27] ryty: How do I find out? [05:27] B14CKH4T: there are various search engins on the internet [05:27] I get this error when I try to test my speakers audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument"audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argumentaudiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument"audiotestsrc wave=si [05:27] ne freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument [05:27] kazimir, I've had good luck with google ;-) [05:27] I looked around google, but nothing seemed to work. [05:28] hey whats microsoft acsess [05:28] TiZ: firefox is not exactly the most true to form gtk implementation [05:28] acually it is [05:28] Scunizi: ahh, ok. Yeah, i had had a hunch that it might not have much to do with my local machine... seemed to easy to be true. well, i'll ask our IT person to do it. I was hoping to avoid pestering him :) thanks for your help [05:28] but what is microsoft acsess [05:28] TiZ: or I should say, it doesn't implement gtk in a very sane way [05:28] and what does it do [05:28] i need to know [05:28] TiZ: so you need to get another theme or hack the one you have [05:28] lg29: np :) [05:28] ok [05:28] bruenig: I know. But it's really weird. I seem to be like, the only person with this bug. There's like one other person, and he didn't get it solved. [05:28] kazimir, this you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=911843 [05:28] ? [05:29] cactusfrog, a database program, see ##windows for more [05:29] TiZ: get another theme or hack [05:29] cactusfrog: MS Access is a database program. [05:29] whats that [05:29] No, that's not me, ryty [05:29] http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Access [05:29] bruenig: It happens with all murrine themes while the SVN version of Murrine is installed. [05:29] TiZ: you know what's up [05:30] TiZ: there is no magic command to get you ought of this, hack or move along to something else [05:30] I am having truble preforming a dos attack [05:30] i need some help [05:30] I am on Ubuntu [05:30] ryty: Same headset,though. [05:31] interesting [05:31] cactusfrog, not a fit subject for here. only warning [05:31] what do you mean [05:31] * nickrud gasps, no magic command? But this is linux! [05:31] bruenig: Uh... huh? I'm not looking for a magic command. I'm looking for assistance, any knowledge whatsoever that might help me solve this, rather than ignoring it or rolling back to Intrepid's Murrine (I can't do that now, my theme uses a bunch of SVN stuff now). [05:31] any thoughts now ryty? [05:31] brian7888, not right now, no [05:32] i like to do c programs in ubuntu what are the softwares need to be installed to do that? [05:32] !build-essential | suma [05:32] suma: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [05:32] brian7888, I would say that for some reason your sound card isn't getting detected, OR, the module isn't being loaded [05:32] ryty: Any other ideas? [05:32] kazimir, still looking [05:32] This is Linux. It was to my understanding that we _fix_ problems here. ;) [05:32] ryty: Alright [05:32] my card is being detected...the diagnostics recognizes it..... [05:32] any good fellows bored enough to point me to known linux documentaries, akin to Revolution OS? [05:32] so how do I load my module? [05:33] brian7888, which chip is it for the audio? [05:33] TiZ: hack the source [05:33] bruenig: You're kidding, right? :| [05:33] kazimir, what does `cat /proc/asound/cards` show you? [05:33] TiZ, bruenig is right. If svn is bad, hacking code is your only option unless you roll back [05:33] (in the pastebin please) [05:33] hello.. does openoffice writer support adding comments to documents? if yes, how do i bring them up? [05:34] brian7888, same question for you [05:34] I'll repeat, pastebin please [05:34] dont bother these people arn't helpful i switch to linux because i think they are going to be suportive but instead they say that DOS attacks are bad becasue they don't agree with there morals wtf just telll me thats the point of this isn;t it??? [05:34] ryty: It says no such file or directory. [05:34] you forgot cd [05:34] and the quotes [05:34] nvm aplay: device_list:215: no soundcards found... [05:35] ryty: Oops, I misspelled it, hold on [05:35] I was gonna tell that guy off. :( [05:35] nickrud, was that cactusfrog? [05:35] ryty, yes [05:35] Yeah. [05:35] yay [05:35] told him one warning. But the troll is gone, so let's not feed the rest [05:36] erver irc.adelais.net [05:36] hi voodoox [05:36] ubottu :i am not able to install that packages,what i do? [05:36] u a bot [05:36] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:36] so how do I get linux to recognize my sound card? [05:36] ryty: http://pastebin.ca/1342609 [05:36] * Scunizi tips his hat to a friendly nic in the channel.. nickrud :) [05:36] brian7888, what kind of chip is it? [05:36] brian7888, do an lspci and pastebin it [05:36] Well, maybe Cimi would have more knowledge about this seriously remote problem. What's a good way to contact him? [05:37] Any alternative to install adobe reader [05:37] kazimir, try opening the Volume Control by double-clicking on the little speaker next to the clock [05:37] select the lifechat from the drop-down, and make sure it's turned up? [05:37] intel p45 chipset for asus p5q mobo [05:37] kriyas: medibuntu repo's will give you that.. if you really need it [05:37] TiZ: your problem is clear, I mean even if one doesn't know what source changes need to be done, one can identify that your problem is a source problem [05:38] ryty: I set the default device from there, but I still hear no sound. [05:38] kazimir, and the volume is turned up? [05:38] TiZ: there is no way around that. If the source is bad either on ff end or your engine's end, you can't do anything but fix that [05:38] or move to something else [05:38] ryty: All the way. [05:39] ryty: Keep in mind, I' [05:39] ryty: I'm testing the sound by a youtube video, if that matters. [05:39] ryty- intel p45 chipset for asus p5q mobo [05:39] brian7888: I have the same motherboard on my desktop ^_^ [05:39] kazimir, try a "cat /proc/meminfo > /dev/dsp1" [05:40] and listen to the headphones, anything? [05:40] bruenig: What you're saying mostly makes sense. I don't mean to be adversarial, but Firefox is the most popular browser for Linux, and there are loads of murrine-svn themes on gnome-look. If it was a source problem, wouldn't it be more widespread? I'm not trying to be argumentative, it just doesn't make sense. [05:40] ryty: Yes, I heard a sound./ [05:40] your audio not working kazimir? [05:40] good signs. [05:41] Mmm [05:41] TiZ: firefox is well known as having a hacked together gtk setup, it is not like other apps [05:41] maybe p5q isnt supported by ubuntu or something [05:41] kazimir, go back to System->Preferences->Sound and change all of them to the Headset if you can find it in the drop downs [05:41] if not, what are your choices? [05:41] bruenig: I'm well aware of that. [05:42] TiZ: I have themes that work everywhere else except firefox's input boxes where for some reason the background is black and the letters are black. Everywhere else any other input in any other app is grey on black, but not firefox in what is seemingly an identical sort of thing [05:42] TiZ: so it is more widespread, but what people do is they move along to other themes. You don't see bug reports on themes usually because the are millions of them [05:42] what is the method you call when you want to print a page back to back [05:42] ryty: I see my headset, yes. Change everything to it? [05:42] kazimir, sure [05:42] kazimir, then, give it a shot [05:42] how come i keep getting an error when i play games, x11 driver not configured with opengl [05:42] (careful with the volume, remember it's turned up) [05:42] like wormux, foobillard [05:43] ryty: No dice, bro. [05:43] direct rendering is enabled, and im using the nvidia.com driver [05:43] guys, anyone using terminator? [05:43] kazimir, hrmm [05:43] yea me too...ryty [05:43] ryty: Should I completely restart Firefox, then try? [05:43] bruenig: I don't imagine that people would file bug reports on themes. But if it was so simple as a source problem, everyone who wanted to make or use Murrine SVN themes would be bothering the hell out of Cimi, and he'd either fix it, or svn murrine wouldn't be used. That's the way I imagine it, anyways. [05:43] kazimir, his test to the right and see if it works? [05:43] what is the method you call when you want to print a page back to back === cary_ is now known as Commie_Cary [05:44] (under the System->Preferences->sound dialogue box) [05:44] ryty: I can hear it from there fine, but nothing else produces sound. [05:44] TiZ: it is a firefox source problem [05:44] firefox is, shall we say, not standards complaint on gtk [05:44] if that makes sense [05:44] bruenig, TiZ you're straying a bit out of the #ubuntu topic, although it _is_ pretty slow. [05:45] bruenig: I understand your point fully well. I think you understand mine, too. At this point, we're just back-and-forthing with no real constructiveness. :P [05:45] wel [05:45] you are wrong and I am right =D [05:45] RYTY: I have same mother board and chipset as kazimir maybe ours isnt supported.... [05:45] Well you're a poopy-head. :P [05:45] brian7888, his is with usb audio, yours is with audio, period. [05:46] ryty: oh ok, mine is digital coax out [05:46] what is the method you call when you want to print a page back to back???????? [05:46] brian7888: I'm also not on the computer with that motherboard, I'm on my laptop [05:46] linxuz3r, double-sided? [05:46] kazimir: oh ok [05:47] Well, in any case, bruenig, thanks for trying. :) I'll go to gnome-look and see if anyone else using Murrine SVN has this problem. [05:47] linxuz3r, duplex? [05:47] ryty: should I just re-install ubuntu? [05:47] ryty: Anythin'? [05:48] kazimir, yours I think has to do with a conflict [05:48] apps are still using your other sound card [05:48] ryty: Whatcha mean? [05:48] ryty: Hm.. [05:48] exit [05:48] kazimir, trying to figure out how to change that...but make it convenient [05:48] ryty: Well, the think is, this laptop has no audio. The speakers and sound chip are blown as far as I know [05:49] ryty: thing* [05:49] ryty: Which is why I'm using the USB headset. [05:49] kazimir, do an lsmod and pastebin it, we can test something [05:49] ryty: As you wish [05:50] brian7888, go to your bios and confirm the onboard audio is turned on [05:50] if not, turn it on, if so, the search continues [05:50] I did...its enabled.... [05:50] ryty: http://pastebin.ca/1342614 [05:50] help, it seems on ubuntu 8.10 my pc seems to freeze sometimes when its almost done shutting down when there is no orange left [05:51] kazimir, "sudo rmmod -f snd_hda_intel" [05:52] ryty: kazimir@ubuntu:~$ sudo rmmod -f snd_hda_intel [05:52] ERROR: Removing 'snd_hda_intel': Resource temporarily unavailable [05:53] hey guys, quick question: How long should it take to format an external 320 gb hard drive to ext3? [05:53] kazimir, try going in to your bios and disabling the on-board audio controller, if it's bad anyways, it shouldn't hurt [05:53] ryty: As you wish. I'll be back in 5. [05:53] DarkSotM, depends, what kind of drive and interface? [05:53] DarkSotM, depends on the rpm of the HDD and the speed of the computer [05:54] wd 320 passport, usb 2.0 [05:54] 5400 rpm [05:54] DarkSotM, well, USB 2.0 will significantly slow down your speed [05:54] maybe 5-10 minutes? [05:54] DarkSotM, regardless, it shouldn't take too loing [05:54] DarkSotM, it's not going to take that long [05:54] I started it last night and it's still going [05:54] that's fishy [05:54] i formatted a 1TB hard drive with ext3 and it took a LONG time on usb [05:54] DarkSotM, i agree [05:55] brand new drive [05:55] ryty: Any ideas?? [05:55] DarkSotM, check your /var/log/syslog and see if you're getting any strange USB errors [05:55] DarkSotM, I'd retry, or have you already? [05:55] DarkSotM, that, or /var/log/messages [05:55] have retryed [05:55] why does gparted take AGES to format stuff? [05:55] poussy [05:55] * ryty is going to shutup, I'm tired of multitasking [05:55] pussy [05:55] I know usb 2 won't be as fast as say SATA but still... [05:56] DarkSotM, you could try going direct with mkfs.ext3 [05:56] I am [05:56] mkfs.ext3 -m 0 /dev/sdb2 [05:56] mkfs.ext3 is n00bish for me i waited a day and it aactually made a broken ext2 volume instead [05:56] DarkSotM, make sure the port is in USB 2.0 mode in your bios [05:57] DarkSotM, that, or you may be having power issues [05:57] I backed my data off it and it was at usb 2 speeds [05:57] help, my audio wont work on my Asus p5q onboard audio. Any ideas? [05:57] DarkSotM, many usb ports don't put out enough power [05:57] ryty: No dice, man. I can't disable it from my BIOS [05:57] brian7888, I requested a long time ago that you do an lspci and pastebin it. Still waiting... [05:57] How do I add a second E-mail account to Evolution Mail?

[06:00] sebsebseb, i can't find any blank media and i have the urge to install lol [06:00] kazimir, that was my last one.

[06:23] * jesse shrugs [06:23] k [06:23] alsaconf ftw [06:23] well mine worked out of box and i got a realtek HD audio [06:23] is there any way to change the way the date is displayed on the default Ubuntu clock? Say from it's current display to "2009-02-19" [06:23] Is there anyway to restart whatever controls sound? The problem I'm having is that sound is only going out of one input instead of two (which it usually does) and if I could restart the sound control without restarting my computer or logging out that would be fantastic. [06:23] it is supposedly alsa compatible [06:23] xorg restart? [06:24] racecar-56: i have an RME recording interface - it's on the alsa list [06:24] k [06:24] i see it under lspci [06:24] snd-hdsp [06:24] lspci and aplay ftw [06:24] aplay doesn't give me anything in it's list [06:24] racecar-56: are you responding to me?

[06:32] does speakertest give you any sounds? [06:32] nope - it gives me an error [06:32] i just deleted my panel, like an idiot, any help on getting it back? [06:32] tried alsaconf?

[06:56] what's the difference between ldap and ldapi ? [06:57] B14CKH4T: Gutsy was nice, but updates for Gutsy not much longer [06:57] sebsebseb: I'm not certain, but i bet its a version that's much newer and has dependency issues if you try to install it in gutsy. [06:57] which kernal is the best to work in Ubuntu? [06:57] sastha: does not really matter that much [06:57] sastha: ,but good idea to use the latest from the repo [06:58] sastha, the newest [06:58] sebsebseb: k. [06:59] NFischer: can v install or use the latest kernal in our envirn.Sorry i dnt have much knowledge abt this. [06:59] Is the 64 bit version any faster than the 32 bit version? [07:00] !64bit [07:00] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [07:00] anybody here can help me with openssh?? [07:00] !ssh [07:00] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [07:00] sastha, what? if you do the regularly updates you should be fine.. [07:00] for chrooting [07:00] Because I'm running the 32 bit and firefox is slower than windows for my taste [07:00] let me rephrase [07:00] MySecureShell -- very good chroot technique [07:00] mereo: how much RAM? [07:01] 2 GB [07:01] mereo: maybe you got a slow proccessor to [07:01] I am trying to setup a chroot environ for openssh..with the in built chroot dir option [07:01] sastha, besides that, if you dont have any issues you should not try to mingle around to much [07:01] but I am getting a weird error.... [07:01] sebsebseb, it's an athlon 5200+ [07:01] mereo: if your proccessor is 64bit, go 64bit yes [07:01] mereo: not sure if that is 64bit [07:01] hi [07:02] NFischer: k.for updation we have to use Package Manager rite? [07:02] sebsebseb, yeah it is [07:02] sastha, go to system > Administration > Update Manager [07:02] mereo: put 64bit on then [07:02] any one??:(... [07:03] mereo: also if you want something more fast, get something more light waight, Xubuntu? Puppy Linux? [07:03] NFischer: thanx.sorry if my question was silly. [07:03] this is the error I get when i restart sshd Bad configuration option: ChrootDirectory [07:03] sastha, you can use synaptic too, but Update manager is a little more user friendly [07:03] !ask | llragsll [07:03] llragsll: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:03] http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmysecureshell.sourceforge.net%2Ffr%2Findex.html&hl=fr&ie=UTF8&sl=fr&tl=en [07:03] sastha, np [07:03] Link to MySecureShell [07:03] k === david is now known as Guest47153 === Guest47153 is now known as kapace_laptop2 [07:04] NFischer: one more question.Y the system always asks for admin password, whenever we perform any action.Is there any logging mechanism running? [07:04] thx KevDog_ === e_e is now known as innociv [07:05] sastha, thats part of ubuntus security philosophy [07:05] sebsebseb, the system is quite fast, it's just firefox seems slower than the windows version [07:05] hi [07:05] sastha, its to prevent others from altering your system [07:06] <|HSO|SadiQ> I made another user on my system...how can I acces the music files I have in the first user's home dir?? [07:06] mereo: ok I understand [07:06] NFischer: NFischer,is it possible to see the log, by the root? [07:06] mereo: yes Firefox in Ubuntu is not even an offical version, and it is not that fast really [07:06] mereo: Do you have firefox plugins installs? They can slow things down... you could try it in safe-mode to compare speeds... if there's a big difference you will know it is caused by one or more of the plugins [07:06] sastha, system > Administration> system log [07:06] There is also rssh -- which is in the repositories -- however just my opinion not as full featured as the MSS [07:06] mereo: try Konqueror for a faster browser [07:07] sebsebseb, do you think the version from mozilla.com will be faster? [07:07] mereo: probably not by much, but Konqueror is much faster [07:08] NFischer: thnx.U r so helpful.any system restore functionality available in ubuntu? [07:08] Swiftfox -- enhancements built in!! [07:08] sebsebseb, hmm, but I have some extensions that I like to use [07:08] can anyone do me a big favour? [07:08] mereo: in fact the Ubuntu version is meant to have Ubuntu specific improvements, so in some ways Firefox from Mozilla may be worse, unless you get the latest 3.1 version . 3.1 has not been released just yet, but soon [07:08] can I send you an sms so you can send me my phone nr? [07:08] mereo: yes you have both :) [07:09] Using chroot directory option in sshd conf file gives this error : Bad configuration option: ChrootDirectory ?? any solutions? [07:09] my life might depend on it [07:09] sastha, you should use google a little too ... http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page [07:09] mereo: also two other browsers that may be worth trying. Galeon and sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser [07:09] Vinceman, whats the matter [07:09] yeah [07:09] mereo: you can have loads of browsers in Ubuntu [07:09] sebsebseb, yeah [07:09] mereo: there's also Opera which is closed source [07:09] I don't know my new prepaid mobile phone nr [07:09] lol [07:09] I have already setup most of the options...this is the only place I am stuck [07:09] sebsebseb, forgot about opera [07:09] mereo: you can download the firefox and install as user (not as root), and run it, and see for yourself the difference. I think ubuntu-optimized is better [07:10] that's not so funny NFischer! [07:10] mereo: and if you want really fast how about a text only browser such as Lynx and Links :d [07:10] !ot > Vinceman [07:10] Vinceman, please see my private message [07:10] chroot si available inbuilt with openssh [07:10] mereo: dont listen to them, use Dillo [07:10] I just want to enable tht [07:10] Vinceman, it is... just look in your contract [07:10] arghh2d2: dildo hummm why recommending dildo? [07:10] sebsebseb, lol! If I wanted to use lynx, I'll just use a terminal [07:10] arghh2d2, how's dilo? does it render everything? [07:11] sebsebseb: cuz what i say goes mofo! dont question me [07:11] Hey everyone, I'm trying to get intrepid onto an old compaq Evo N800v laptop, but I can't get it to boot to the CD drive, nor will it boot to the USB stick that I have a copy of intrepid on, and I can't even get the wubi installer to run off of the USB stick, so I'm stuck trying to find a way to get the install going. Ideally I would like to boot to the CD drive or the usb stick and get a proper install rather than a wubi install. [07:11] mereo: dillo is lightning fast [07:11] chroot is available with openssh now -- however its has poor functionality. rssh/MySecureShell has enhancements [07:11] mereo: yes lynx runs in the terminal [07:11] mereo: but dillo doesnt use frames [07:11] Whats the best way to install Firefox 3.0 on Gutsy Gibbon? [07:11] felixsulla: from the repo or from Mozilla [07:11] sebsebseb, what I meant is that I'd rather use those old terminal computers than on my fast one [07:12] Any way to do it in synaptic? [07:12] Firefox 3.0 on GG -- sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [07:12] arghh2d2, so dilo is kind of a light weight browser? renders just what isneeded? [07:12] felixsulla: Gutsy was a good release, in some ways it's better than Hardy and Ibex even, but Gutsy won't be suppourted for much longer with updates [07:13] mereo: dillo is a very primitive browser, it's like x version of links. good for simple browsing, but doesn't work with multimedia websites [07:13] llragsll: Isn't ChrootDirectory only for the internal SFTP sub-system? [07:13] So I should probably upgrade, eh? [07:13] gotta go [07:13] Feisty was better than Gutsy IMO [07:13] syockit, ah... well then, I don't think it will be that useful [07:13] And Fiesty is dead now too [07:13] KevDog_: yeah Feisty was good to [07:14] KevDog_: and Ubuntu hasn't exactly got amazingly better since Gutsy [07:14] mereo: yeah, dillo brings up pictures but doesnt bring up frames, and it doesnt work well with secure connections, HOWEVER if all your doing is looking at docs or wiki's or pr0n or something then dillo is pimp [07:14] What I hate about ubuntu is that frigin PULSEAUDIO! [07:14] Im actually finding Ibex surprisingly better than Hardy [07:14] Ibex is the newest? [07:15] arghh2d2, lol, ok, I'll check it out [07:15] KevDog_: why I don't notice much of a difference, except auto shut down after a minute, and how people can make there own USB Flash stick for Ubuntu [07:15] mereo: Konqueror is very good and my browser of choice after Firefox [07:15] In both Hardy and Ibex, a lot of changes were put into the base kernel that screwed a lot of things up particualy for vid/wireless cards -- kinks are definitely been smoothed out though [07:15] mereo: then it's Galeon and then Epiphany [07:15] Can anybody help my trouble shout my sound? [07:15] sebsebseb, isn't galeon dead? [07:16] mereo: not that I know of [07:16] Hardy -- what a joke to call this a LTS -- so many new drivers introduced into that kernel -- bad mistake [07:16] sebsebseb, because their last news announcement was from 2006 [07:16] mereo: maybe it is a bit dead then, but still a good browser [07:17] Hello everyone, does anybody know the XUbuntu IRC's address? [07:17] I looking forward to Jaunty however [07:17] sebsebseb, well, I hope I'll get a good browser... because Ubuntu is growing on me === ectospasm is now known as ectodozing [07:17] mereo: same rendering engine as Firefox to view pages Gecko, where as Konq uses KTHML. and Safari and Google Chrome use Webkit which is based on KTHML [07:17] tzolkin: #xubuntu? [07:17] anybody here having issues with skype not being able to grab audio if vlc is running? Cant seem to solve it. :( [07:17] mereo: well Chrome will eventaully be ported to Mac and Linux [07:18] yes [07:18] sebsebseb, yeah, I'll be waiting for chrome... patiently... [07:18] mereo: you can run it in Wine or Codeweavers thiney for it, but if you do that, hummmm since it will be saying to sites your running it on Windows unless... [07:19] mereo: same thing for K-Melon now that's a nice fast customizable Windows browser that uses Gecko [07:19] sebsebseb, yeah, on my old computer I was using k-meleon, it was MUCH faster [07:20] mereo: I don't think it's the best idea to run Windows browsers in Wine and then help to contribute to Windows's browser market share [07:20] mereo: well should be able to change the user agent string to Linux :D [07:20] KevDog_, when's jaunty due? [07:20] mereo: it runs rather nicely in Wine [07:20] sebsebseb, that's why I'm hoping the next firefox 3.1 will be optimized iin linux [07:20] mereo: I guess change Windows in the user agent string to, Wine or Linux yeah :D [07:20] mereo: you can get the latest 3.1 from their FTP [07:20] i have a situation. my samba directory and subdirectories are filled with .exes which have been copied from a WINDOZE host. I want to delete all these files. There are too many files which have been created. Is there a simple command which can do this? [07:20] sebsebseb, yeah :p [07:21] sebsebseb, ooh, nice [07:21] hi guys ! [07:21] mereo: right now, jaunty's firefox-3.1 is still unstable, but I think that's because firefox 3.1 itself is unstable [07:21] is where a way to set up a root acces on kubuntu ? [07:21] Is it normal for a minimal install of ubuntu to get get stuck at 2% on "Select and Install Software" -- it just says "Please Wait" [07:21] i have a situation. my samba directory and subdirectories are filled with .exes which have been copied from a WINDOZE host. I want to delete all these files. There are too many files which have been created. Is there a simple command which can do this? [07:22] syockit, do you use it? [07:22] 9.04 -- So hence April but not sure of release date [07:22] syockit: Firefox 3.1 is very nearly ready to be released. and even the alphas for Firefox seem to run pretty damn well [07:23] sebsebseb, sooo... it's stable for you? [07:23] kevor: end of April it will be [07:23] mereo: I only wanted to try out the new features. went to acid3.acidtests.org, do some alt-tabbing, go to javascript benchmarks etc. But it always crashes on me. (the extensions can be at fault too) [07:23] mereo: in Windows I would run alphas and such yes [07:23] mereo: in Ubuntu I just find it easier to use Ubuntu's Firefox, and other browsers [07:23] trupheenix: Something like (key word like) find -type f -name "*.exe" | xargs rm -rf [07:23] KevDog_: ok i have found all the files using find [07:24] KevDog_: now I'm looking for an easy command to delete them [07:24] sebsebseb, when is firefox 3.1 going to be released? I think I'll just be patient and wait for it [07:24] mereo: yes latest 3.1 will be rather stable [07:24] Pipe the find command into xargs [07:24] KevDog_: I tried rm -rf *.exe [07:24] any community for lib_soup [07:24] xargs rm -rf [07:24] mereo: not sure when, probably a release scheduled on Mozilla, but not much longer now [07:24] mereo: you have firefox-3.1 in jaunty (future 9.04 release) [07:24] ok [07:25] so it will be [07:25] Hi, I want user to authenticate usen local Kerbos and LDAP servers, but only allow specif user, so I added AllowUsers to sshd_config file, but it denies access, any suggestions [07:25] mereo: it's beta, but it's that one :) [07:25] sebsebseb, k, thanks [07:25] KevDog_: it will be find -name *.exe | xargs rm -rf [07:25] savvas: is Jaunty Beta yet? [07:25] sebsebseb, can't wait [07:25] Is it normal for a minimal install of ubuntu to get get stuck at 2% on "Select and Install Software" -- it just says "Please Wait" [07:25] sebsebseb, gotta go, thanks for the help [07:25] any mixmaster users here? [07:25] mereo: ok no problem [07:26] stopie: it sometimes happen to me too. I had to start all over again when that happens [07:26] trupheenix: Yea that should work -- Might need to be "*.exe" if there are files with spaces [07:27] syockit: would you recommend a mirror to use? the defualt us.ubuntu.... is hella slow === sleepy_cat is now known as c_webkit [07:28] And its also something like find . -name *.exe | xargs rm -rf Note the . tells to start in current directory and look in subdirectories. If you wanted to start at very top it would be / [07:28] sebsebseb: no, but you could try booting from the live cd and see if everything is in place, www.ubuntu.com/testing [07:28] savvas: I learnt my lesson with Gutsy don't get before beta === hechu-kaiser is now known as hechu [07:29] stopie: uh, I use japan mirror because I'm in japan.... us.ubuntu will look for the optimal server for you, but you can set the mirror manually. [07:29] wow KevDog_ feel sad for u .. trupheenix didnt even say thanks to you :-) [07:29] can i boot ubuntu from another machine with PXE over my LAN or even WAN, via SSH maybe?

[07:31] Chux: As in BigBrown? [07:31] sebsebseb: that won't solve YOUR real machine problems if.. say a kernel sound module is broken [07:32] savvas: true, since it will use the host for some stuff. anyway I been with Ubuntu since the second release. and Fedora Core 2 and 4 before that. Live CD's later on Knoppix, Gnoppix, Morphix that kind of thing. Live CD's after just installing FC2 [07:32] wat are the shortcut keys of copy ,paste,cut in ubuntu? [07:33] I've just been using VMware Workstation 6.5.1 on a Vista 32-bit host to modify a version of Ubuntu 8.10, using Remastersys to create my final copy. However, during this process I have inadvertently deleted some items I didn't want to delete. For instanced, when I type in "ls" it just gives me normal ls. Instead of the system default "ls --color=auto". Is there any way to recreate this system default/alias again? [07:33] saadi559595: it's usually ctrl-c, ctrl-v, and ctrl-x. But certain applications may have different shortcuts. [07:33] KevDog: BigBrown? [07:33] Chux: VMware hummmmmmm Virtualbox :D and KVM is meant to be good if your computer can handle hardware virtulization [07:33] KVM? [07:33] Kernel Virtual Machine [07:33] if i am installing lxde from ubuntu-minimal, what should I install as login manager ? [07:34] ah, okay [07:34] I have inadvertently deleted some items I didn't want to delete. For instanced, when I type in "ls" it just gives me normal ls. Instead of the system default "ls --color=auto". Is there any way to recreate this system default/alias?

[07:36] B1OS: I can't help not done netboot before, was told about it etc though [07:36] B1OS: plus I am about to go anyway [07:36] ok [07:37] saadi559595: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/shortcuts has a list of default ones.

[07:37] B1OS: oh turn it on yeah [07:37] B1OS: your BIOS should have a setting for it I think [07:37] :) [07:38] B1OS: yeah I think that's what the guy said. you turn it on in BIOS. and it boots from netboot [07:38] sebsebseb, need other software though, right? [07:38] B1OS: yeah there's a program, you get from Ubuntu site, which is the kernel === ectodozing is now known as ectospasm [07:39] B1OS: and you netboot that over or something [07:39] sebsebseb, i'll check it out [07:40] B1OS: well good luck and bye [07:41] Sa[i]nT, it depends on your network topology [07:41] bye [07:41] anyone know what format a cellular phone uses usually [07:42] I am having trouble mounting a card and i am to the part where i gotta make it to another format [07:42] or something [07:42] Sa[i]nT, can be done from your router too === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:42] sudo mount /dev/sdd /media/usbdisk -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000 [07:43] still this problem [07:43] Should I use iptables? [07:43] theres how i do it if its fat16 but that dont work [07:45] Is there a GUI for iptables yet? [07:46] !firestarter [07:46] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [07:46] \quit [07:48] can someone help me recover a corrupted hdd (windows partitions) with ubuntu live ? === KevDog____ is now known as KevDog [07:50] it is now showing as an empty HDD , flag lba [07:51] good moaning! [07:51] moaning moaning [07:52] I have a script I'm trying to run as root, but it's not working. Anybody have any ideas on things like that? [07:52] fudgeed, if you mount it as fat/ntfs (whichever is appropriate, no files apppear? [07:52] mlissner, define 'not working'. Also, if the scrippt is small & simple, pastebin it [07:53] The script is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/120480/ [07:53] do you lose your data when you upgrade? [07:54] B10S, only if you scre it up and have to reinstall =) [07:54] It needs to run as root, so I put it in /etc/init.d, and got it to start at boot, but it doesn't do anything. [07:54] Seveas, its showing up as unalocated [07:54] It should be switching files around based on my wireless connection. [07:54] Seveas, i'll try now to screw up then :D [07:55] mlissner, so log to a file instead of discarding all the useful error messages [07:55] mlissner, I'd do such a thing in /etc/network/if-up.d, so it gets run every time a network connection is up. [07:55] whats the best way to convert xvid and burn them as DVD? [07:55] so no need to loop :) [07:55] B10S, I assume you mean 'not' instead of 'now' :) [07:56] Saveas, that sounds brilliant. How would one do that? [07:56] Carpii, is there a way to log scripts that are started by init? [07:56] Seveas, oh, indeed lol [07:56] Seveas, i tried to install to ubuntu to the c: drive ,deleted that partition and my cd was corrupted too [07:57] mlissner, look at the examples in there. I beleive there's even a hook that gives you the ssid as well, so no need to grep :) [07:58] fudgeed, ah, hmm... I *think* some manual partition table tinkering might give you your partition back, but that's far beyond what I know how to do I'm afraid. [07:58] Seveas, so are these all scripts that are run whenever a network connection is made? [07:59] mlissner, yes [07:59] Seveas, also, I'm not seeing any hooks...maybe I don't know what I'm looking for? [07:59] Seveas , ok [08:00] mlissner, ignore the comment about hooks. I was wrong. [08:01] Seveas, this is a break through. [08:01] Major. [08:01] Can those be run as root though? I want to edit /etc/hosts, or accomplish the same. [08:01] mlissner, they are always run as root [08:01] hi everybody [08:02] Fabulous [08:02] where is/are the gdm/kdm sessions config file(s) located , [08:02] Hi [08:02] ? [08:02] mlissner, if you google for ifupdown, you should be able to find some documentation. These scripts have access to some useful environment variables to help you detect where you are [08:02] i need to change starting enlightenment with -evil parameter to -good ;) [08:03] luciash, I believe those can be found in /etc/xsession.d oslt [08:03] /etc/X11/Xsession.d [08:05] luciash, or /usr/share/xsessions [08:05] Seveas: thank you, the first i don't see it there [08:05] Seveas: i'll check the other one [08:05] hey guys [08:06] hello dips0502 [08:06] hey [08:06] hello [08:06] trying to install 8.10 i386 ; however it doesnt recognize the sata drive i hv [08:06] Seveas: thanks a bunch, that's it :) [08:06] need some suggestion [08:07] dips0502, buy a new drive? :) [08:07] dips0502, does the dmesg command on the live cd tell you anything about the sata drive (as in, does the kernel at least see it?) [08:07] its not a new drive ...hv been using it for quite some time [08:07] hi silly question from a guy trying to learn a bit of cli [08:08] when i issue this for example: [08:08] find /media/movt/ -name *.nfo -exec ls '{}' ';' [08:08] seveas, I can't find anything on variables, but I just cut out the while loop in my script, and it seems to work. [08:08] does anyone know when ubuntu starts writing to a new syslog? [08:08] how can i add *jpg as well [08:08] could be more elegant though. [08:08] mlissner, ok then :) [08:09] you know the nvidia problem.... is there a link for solution? [08:09] Seveas, this is most excellent. Thanks for your insight. I spent way too much time trying to figure this out myself. [08:09] Bikeguy, 04:02, logrotate is run from cron.daily which by default is run at that time. See /etc/crontab abd /etc/cron.daily/logrotate [08:09] 4.444028] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) [08:09] this is what i see from dmesg [08:09] one of the lines [08:09] hey guys do you know how to set x-chat so that it doesn't use my login as identd? [08:09] thanks Seveas, you aren't at all related to the Seveas package repos are you? [08:09] zeltak, find /media/movt/ -name '*.nfo' -o -name '*.jpg' -exec ls '{}' ';' [08:10] k sweet thx Seveas [08:10] Bikeguy, yes that's me. The repos are fairly dead though (have no hardy or intrepid) [08:10] speedmaster, xchat -> network list -> pick your network and click edit/change [08:10] regardless, thanks for that, I remember using those a while back :-) [08:11] you're welcome :) [08:11] SO? nvidia 180.29 driver still not working.... [08:12] is tovid the best for xvid to dvd in intrepid? [08:12] hi, can I clear/wipe mbr from ubuntu live? [08:13] mib_10glkn, yes. but that will make your system unbootable [08:13] mib_10glkn: if you know how to use dd, you can [08:13] is dd the only way to wipe it? [08:13] Seveas: still bootable from cd, no? [08:13] (the command is: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/yourdiskhere bs=512 count=1) [08:13] syockit, yes [08:14] I should have said, 'it will make your disk unbootable' [08:14] i think the kernel sees the sata drive, but the partition manager...doesnt see it [08:15] dips0502, if you boot from the live cd and run this command: sudo fdisk -l [08:15] dips0502, does the disk show up then? [08:15] so ive read that there is no way to boot an ubuntu cd into the RAM of the computer without making your own live cd. Is that true? [08:16] it says cannot open /dev/sda and cannot open /dev/sdb [08:16] Seveas: the -o option just lists the last one (jpg) not both...anything else i can try? [08:16] but both those sda and sdb are not my sata drive [08:16] you could try 'man find' and learn how find works :) [08:16] one is an parallel ata drive , the other is an external usb drive [08:17] locustmage: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/booting-of-raw-iso-from-grublilo-though-preferably-grub-367901/ [08:17] zeltak, try this: find /media/movt/ '(' -name '*.nfo' -o -name '*.jpg' ')' -exec ls '{}' ';' [08:17] ill check that out thanks [08:17] k thx [08:18] * Seveas off, back in 30 [08:21] irvan [08:23] nvidia 180.29 driver install is OK, but the X cant use it... [08:25] If I leave Exaile open too long, my sound dies, and alsa force-reload doesn't seem to do anything [08:26] Gegsite: i was trying to install that all last night and ended up reverting back to 180.22 [08:27] how can i check if the kernel recognizes my sata disk at boot time ? [08:27] yeah, I heard that you should delete something cos it makes conflict [08:27] dips0502, starting it with debug mode [08:28] can anybody recommend a program that can show side by side diff on two binary files formatted as hex? [08:28] Gegsite: yeah, I was reading that in the nvidia x config that you should remove load type1 as that isn't in X any more which just led me to the no screens error when x tries to start [08:29] gegsite...could u tell me how to start it in debug mode [08:29] I heard that some files or symlinks you must delete... [08:30] I did not really want to spend that much time on it, just ran the package again for 180.22 after I purged which didn't go well so I removed again and booted recovery kernel installed as root and booted normally and havent had any probs since [08:32] I know but it should be better to run a newer driver but .... [08:32] dips0502, when booting the linux in grub you edit the init line and write in the end the debug thats all [08:33] 2222 [08:33] I think it's an X problem rather than the driver - even using repositories and installing through synaptic was screwing it [08:34] speedmaster, which kernel? === schiz0 is now known as Schiz0 [08:35] right, i want to boot (turn on NOT install) my ubuntu server via PXE (from another machine, windows probably). will bootp do this?

[10:09] unfortunately, the issue remains. [10:09] kuex: oh [10:09] could it be a problem with ipv6? [10:09] WICD is perfectly functional, but this regression seems to be intact.

[10:46] tparcina: check for firewalls and what interfaces your dhcp server is listening on [10:46] tparcina: check the cables, try another device on that switch to see if it gets an address [10:46] ikonia: and they are connected together, because client recives IP address from same DHCP server when he is doing PXE boot [10:47] tparcina: check the server config then for it's dhcp server parameters [10:47] ActionParsnip: I don't know how to use static IP. This is the first time I'm trying to use Clonezilla/DRBL/PXE [10:47] tparcina: oic [10:47] ikonia: firewall and interfaces on DHCP should be all right, because client recives IP address for PXE boot [10:47] i installed a system with raid + dm-crypt + lvm but it won't boot. During booting i'm dropped into a busybox shell with the message: "Gave up waiting for root device. ... ALERT! /dev/mapper/md0_cryptp1p1 does not exist". What's wrong and how can I boot now? [10:47] tparcina: tried a different port on the switch [10:48] tparcina: do the lights on the switch and NIC flash when the system powers on? [10:48] ikonia: what should I search in DHCP server parameters? I have check config several times, but I don't see anything bad [10:48] ruediger: what type of raid, hardware or software [10:48] software [10:48] why does ubuntu want to install a handfull of qt updates? what does ubuntu intrepid ship with that has qt dependencies ? [10:48] ActionParsnip: what "oic" means? [10:48] tparcina: what dhcp server are you using [10:48] ruediger: as in mdadm [10:48] tparcina: oh i see [10:48] mdadm? I created an md device with the alternate installer [10:49] ubuntu-it [10:49] ezerhoden: some apps depends on qt libs, such as virtualbox, lastfm client and so [10:49] #ubuntu-it [10:49] ActionParsnip: I didn't check the lights on switch and NIC when I tourn them on [10:49] ikonia: any ideas? [10:49] ruediger: according to that message the device file for your root partition does not exist/has not been created [10:49] fosco_: sure, but why do they install qt apps with a gnome based distro? [10:49] ruediger: the question is why [10:49] tparcina: youo should have activity lights, no lights = bad cable or disabled nic [10:49] i m receiving this error,wen i try to use my scanner with xsane...failed to open device 'snapscan-libusb:001:002':invalid argument?

[10:53] IntuitiveNipple: yes [10:53] ikonia: I have this in syslog - CRITICAL: cannot initialize libpolkit [10:53] IntuitiveNipple: I encrypted everything except /boot [10:53] is there a program I can check to see if someone is stiling my connection? [10:54] morning [10:54] saadi559595: is it an epson 3490? [10:54] ruediger: OK, I suspect that you've got an initial-ramdisk issue where cryptsetup isn't being installed into it [10:54] no benq4300 [10:54] ruediger: Is the encrypted volume protected by key-file or pass-phrase? [10:54] saadi559595: it may still apply, backup any files you edit so you can easily roll back: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4209531 [10:55] tparcina: thats just policy kit [10:55] IntuitiveNipple: passphrase [10:55] saadi559595: i'd look into what the idproduct number is all about [10:56] does debian/ubuntu have a command similar to equery depends ? to list the installed apps that depend on a particular package? [10:56] wat do u mean actionparscnip am new to ubuntu [10:56] ikonia: and I see that clients are requesting and reciving DHCP address (I guss before the client starts PXE) [10:57] tparcina: ahhh good spot [10:57] IntuitiveNipple: is there a way to fix it? [10:57] ikonia: you have a clue? [10:57] saadi559595: im guesing it identifies the scanner model or somesuch, have a route around to see if your is different, I think its a permissions thing. If you run: gksu xsane does it work? [10:57] ruediger: What I recommend is to boot from a live-CD, extract the initrd image to /tmp/ and see if the cryptsetup scripts are in there [10:58] ok [10:58] through the command line, how can I tell the filesystem type? [10:58] So should I use the automated install system to format the partition or should I use the fdisk command? [10:58] kira\: sudo fdisk -l will say [10:59] ruediger: If they aren't it it, you can install cryptsetup and lvm2, open and mount the volume, set-up a chroot, then switch into it and fix things up (maybe crypttab needs altering?) then rebuild the initrd image [10:59] ActionParsnip: it just says linux... [10:59] kira\: it'll be ext3 then [10:59] ActionParsnip: k, thanks [10:59] ruediger: Alternatively, if you can boot that system from a different kernel, then use that environment to do the work on the encrypted volume [11:00] Lyra: dont use automatic or it will destroy all the partitions, use manual to make your own partitions or run fdisk / cfdisk first to remove the partitions you dont need, the installer will see the large unallocated space and offer to use it [11:01] IntuitiveNipple: i can't mount the encrypted partition from the rescue disc. Only says "Command failed: Can not access device" :/ [11:02] ruediger: OK, you'll need to use a live-CD then [11:03] Hi guys. [11:05] can someone help me with testdisk ?

[11:13] nickelo: Deciding which partitions to delete in testdisk requires the application of system-specific knowledge as to how it was originally configured, what is expected, etc., it isn't something that someone unacquainted with the system could make a recommendation on. [11:13] actually i did nothing =) [11:13] IntuitiveNipple: '~$ dpkg-query -S wgetpaste; dpkg: *wgetpaste* not found.'

[11:57] less: yes === david is now known as Guest7904 [11:57] ruediger: Did you ensure the cryptsetup script and crypttab are in the initrd ? [11:57] tx, ziroday.. and there won't be any damage` [11:57] IntuitiveNipple: cryptsetup [11:57] I used the following description https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemOnIntrepid#Set%20up%20the%20initial%20ramdisk [11:58] less: nope as long as you define the area correctly, you can always make a backup of the menu.lst as well [11:58] less: only trouble you might run into is if you add another hard drive or something [11:58] adam7; do you know anything about mysql partitiosn [11:58] packetloss: I've never heard of a mysql partition [11:58] ok, thank you..i dont think all add another hard drive, its a laptop :) [11:58] http://www.scribd.com/doc/2085418/MySQL-Partitioning [11:58] less: you probably won't then ;) [11:59] any way to get rid of all the old kernels when i updated? they're still in the boot list when i start up. i didn't try to delete them in any way just dont wanna have a list 5 miles long [11:59] yo yo yo [11:59] KramerPacer: dpkg -l | grep linux-image [11:59] thats it? [11:59] less: just out of curiosity, why change the UUID to root (hd0, x)? [11:59] KramerPacer: remove the old linux-image packages [11:59] ok [11:59] KramerPacer: uninstall them lik any other package, run uname -a to see you current kernel and DO NOT uninstall it [12:00] KramerPacer: make sure you don't remove the current kernel though! [12:00] * ActionParsnip HI5s ziroday [12:00] ActionParsnip: jinx :) [12:00] yea i know that dont worry :P [12:00] adam7: i dont know why, but after installung arch linux and manually editing'arch's menu.lst, ubuntu wouldnt boot.. so i tied replacing UUID by root.. and it wirks [12:00] KramerPacer: just covering all bases [12:00] less: you can also see the uuid of your drives with blkid [12:00] less: ah, the uuid might have changed when the partitions were edited [12:01] i know, its cool. thanks for the help [12:01] Hello again. I've got 8.10 installed now. Thanks for all the help. I have another question though. I heard this distribution had compiz fusion already installed, but I can't find fusion icon. What all do I need to get everything configured? [12:01] Lyra: System -> Prefs -> Appearance -> Desktop Effects [12:01] Lyra, apt-get install fusion-icon [12:01] Lyra: go to Appearances and see if Desktop Effects are enabled [12:01] adam7: i thought something like this, too.. but if there isnt any problem with using root instead of uuid... why not doin it? (: [12:02] less: yeah, with a laptop it doesn't really matter [12:02] ruediger: I wonder if you've got all the required encryption methods... what cipher options did you use to create the volume? [12:02] less: because if you change your drive layout the hd(x.x) setup will break, uuid's shouldn't. In theory they are more reliable [12:02] ziroday: his UUID just broke though :/ [12:02] adam7: in theory :) [12:02] adam7: 'her' ;) [12:03] less: sorry :) [12:03] ruediger: I use "--hash sha512 --key-size 256 --cipher aes-cbc-essiv:sha256" and include "aes_generic dm-mod dm-crypt sha256_generic" [12:03] IntuitiveNipple: sha256 and essiv [12:03] cbc-essiv:sha256 [12:04] the default settings [12:04] hmm here's a dumb question then. how can i remove the kernels [12:05] KramerPacer: if you use synaptic you can just remove them, its nice and easy :) [12:05] ruediger: In crypttab, how have you given the container names? UUID, LABEL, or path (/dev/disk/by-...) ? [12:05] that'll work, thanks again [12:05] IntuitiveNipple: I used the installer to do that. But he created /dev/mapper/dm0_cryptp1 [12:05] KramerPacer: the kernels are in packages just like everything else... just make sure you keep a fall-back :) [12:06] ruediger: Intrepid ? [12:06] yes [12:06] alternate installer [12:06] ok [12:06] hi [12:06] ruediger: ok... I use Jaunty now so have to make sure I'm thinking about the appropriate release :) [12:06] MementoMori: Howdy! [12:07] maybe a bug in okular-extra-backends [12:07] MementoMori: KDE stuff is best handled in #kubuntu :) [12:07] ruediger: Can we go back to basics... remind me of the exact error you get? [12:07] IntuitiveNipple: is the Jaunty alternate installer more stable in that respect? I have no problems with changing to Jaunty. (another benefit I could use ext4) [12:08] okular-extra-backends doesnt provide chm support as stated in its description [12:08] ruediger: Jaunty is alpha right now, I'd stick with what you have :) [12:08] can I dowload the deb src and rebuild it enabling chm? [12:08] ruediger: I think you should extract the initrd- image and check what's in there! [12:09] MementoMori: better to log a bug [12:09] MementoMori: so everyone gets it fixed [12:09] where should I fill the bug report? [12:09] ahoi, got a problem when my laptop reaches its critical cpu temperature .... i've identified acpid emits an event thermal event to X, atieventsd and hald-addons-acpi. how can i disable automatic shutdown (most likely initiated by hald) and instead provide a notification? [12:09] Hello, I would like to install a Crypted sys without deleting the whole disk, is this possible with the alternative installer? E.G.: I would prefer to create a 11GB crypted LVM and create my root & swap partition in it. [12:09] how can i get a cpu usage % and mem usage % in my taskbar in screen using .screenrc [12:10] Decepticon: .screenrc isn't used for your gnome desktop [12:10] no its not, its used for screen [12:10] Decepticon: there is a monitoring applet though already in gnome [12:11] Decepticon: screen is not a monitoring application [12:11] im not on a gui [12:11] im on screen [12:11] IntuitiveNipple: http://rafb.net/p/LjH7zR86.html [12:11] is it indeed hald which initiates a shutdown or is rather gnome which receives events from hald? [12:11] Decepticon: screen is just a terminal abstraction layer between a shell and the user, you'd have to launch an application on the shell, such as top and use screen to connect/discconnect from it [12:11] IntuitiveNipple: ok. I guess the crypto is working. The problem is the lvm now [12:11] Well, I got fusion icon from Synaptiic, and I my windows manager to Compiz but I still only have 2 desktops. [12:12] ikonia there is a option to have a 'taskbar' a 'hardstatus line' ' a statusbar' in screen [12:12] Decepticon: yes, thats right [12:12] /dev/mapper/vg-lv was the lvm device i created (vg == volume group ; lv == logical volume) [12:12] Decepticon: no-where in screen is there a monitoring application though [12:12] set my windows manager to compiz* [12:12] ikonia, yes, if there is a cpu load or mem load option for that, i would appreciate knowing it, so i may see it directly in my screen session, instead of flipping to top [12:12] Decepticon: there isn't - it's not a monitoring application [12:13] IntuitiveNipple: so I guess I have to recreate the initrd with lvm support in it :/ [12:13] ruediger: that should be in already [12:14] ruediger: I do this stuff alot, see if one of my articles helps you here. This is the most recent but there's several for different scenarios: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ubuntu/InstallToMultipleLVMsArbitraryEncryption [12:14] ikonia: how can I check if it's really there? [12:14] ruediger: look inside [12:14] ruediger: It can only be LVM if you're getting prompted for the pass-phrase [12:15] cat /proc/modules | grep lvm didn't return a result [12:15] mh, just read about acpi providing a critical shutdown mechanism, but i cannot see something about it in the acpi logs [12:15] IntuitiveNipple: nope. I'm not prompted [12:15] ikonia im sure theres a way [12:15] Decepticon: then use screen support [12:15] ikoniai will [12:15] ikonia i will [12:15] ruediger: To extract an initrd: "mkdir /tmpt/initrd; cd /tmp/initrd; gunzip < /boot/initrd-2.6.xxxxxx | cpio -i --make-directories; cd initrd;" [12:16] ruediger: Then cryptsetup isn't running [12:16] ruediger: deal with the typos in my example of how to extract the initrd ! [12:16] hi.anyone reckon me the best messenger to use in ubuntu [12:16] i'm currently in the initramfs [12:16] mib, for what protocol [12:17] the system dumped me there after the error message [12:17] hwilde: for YM, MSN. [12:17] mib, pidgin [12:17] i need it for games,webcam,normal use [12:17] Decepticon: http://hans.fugal.net/blog/2009/02/05/pimping-screen is that close enough for what you want ? [12:17] hello [12:17] games? [12:17] pidgin seems only support basic chat. [12:17] Hmm, I got CCSM from synaptic as well and its not showing under fusion icon. I ran it in a terminal and some of the features are working but I've still only got two desktops and I can't get the desktop cube to wrok. [12:17] ruediger: ahh ok. [12:17] you know those yahoo extra games or webcam etc. [12:17] anyone here use 9.04 for production use/ [12:17] i doubt any client has support for advanced features like games and stuff [12:17] work* [12:18] ruediger: can you run the cryptsetup command manually then? [12:18] meh, im so sick of having to terminate firefox. its just utterly shit on ubuntu [12:18] is YM itself has its version for ubuntu? [12:18] anyone used it before? [12:18] IntuitiveNipple: yes [12:18] or maybe MSN for Ubuntu [12:18] mib, there is amsn [12:18] mib: ym is nothing to do with ubuntu [12:18] ikonia ive already done most of those mods [12:18] manacim: 9.04 is alpha... no one uses it for 'production' ! [12:18] mib: the only ubuntu releases are the ones on the ubuntu.com site [12:18] oh. [12:19] amsn. [12:19] Decepticon: yes, there is a cached version which shows how to load a plugin(3rd party daemon) to monitor memory, but it's not coming up [12:19] IntuitiveNipple: i'm just asking if anyone uses it since it's just a month away from being marked as production use [12:19] ruediger: So, I guess the script isn't being called. Is it in /scripts/local-top/ ? [12:19] hwilde: amsn=msn features? [12:19] manacim: if there are problems - it will be delayed, it won't just get released [12:19] mib, yep. do you know about synaptic ?? [12:19] it cant do games i think [12:19] manacim: 2 months.. end of April [12:19] ikonia i wish there was a way to run a external command and get output displayed in the hardstatus line [12:19] yeah.you mean synaptic has this package? [12:19] IntuitiveNipple: there is a cryptroot cryptopensc and cryptoroot [12:20] mib, yep [12:20] IntuitiveNipple: well yeah [12:20] ikonia so i could run cat meminfo and run a rudimentary calculation of ram_used/ram_total [12:20] 2 months is not that long [12:20] ruediger: good... cryptroot is the one.... does it have execute permissions ? [12:20] Decepticon, that's easy man... you could do it with a shell script in the background. [12:20] have u used before? good? [12:20] Decepticon: script it [12:20] IntuitiveNipple: yes [12:20] mib, try it already [12:20] okie [12:20] you know you want to [12:20] ruediger: is the cryptsetup binary in place? [12:20] hwilde what do yu mean [12:21] ruediger: If so, I'm going to suggest the crypto scripts aren't being running for some reason.

[12:22] Stavros: upstart [12:22] !upstart Stavros [12:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about upstart Stavros [12:22] ruediger: If you can manually unlock the volume now, from within the initrd, then the issue must be the scripts not being called properly, or failing. [12:22] !upstart >Stavros [12:22] Stavros, please see my private message [12:22] ruediger: What does the crypttab show? [12:22] Stavros: update-rc.d is the command to manage it [12:23] anybody here play the steam game Counter Strike 1.6 in linux? [12:23] ikonia: will i be able to readd it if i need to?

That could be the problem :/ [12:23] ikonia: ah, thank you [12:23] ikonia: i can play the game fine but it would crash my ubuntu entirely [12:23] i would have to manually reset it [12:23] manacim: which is probably wine - which is why I pointed you at #winehq [12:24] oh [12:24] manacim: ask in #winehq [12:24] i'll check it out thanks [12:24] !wine | manacim [12:24] manacim: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help [12:24] ruediger: It's conf/conf.d/cryptroot [12:24] thanks, i am there now [12:25] IntuitiveNipple: there is only /conf/conf.d/mdadm [12:25] Does anyone know how I can get the 4 desktop functionality for Compiz working?

[12:27] oh no ops [12:27] ruediger: /sbin/cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/xxxx [12:29] IntuitiveNipple: where to mount the device? [12:29] ruediger: you did tell me earlier what the /dev/mapper/ name was... that is what you should use [12:30] ruediger: but remember, only give the basename, not the full path === randoms is now known as randoms|away [12:30] the /sbin/cryptsetup was successfull now I have /dev/mapper/dm0_cryptop1 [12:30] ruediger: congrats [12:30] now get that LVM volume open [12:30] ruediger: /sbin/vgscan && /sbin/vgchange -ay [12:31] IntuitiveNipple: i don't have /sbin/vgscan [12:31] ruediger: Hmmm... lemme check here [12:31] :/ [12:31] vgscan should be valid [12:31] ikonia: no, not in the initrd [12:32] ruediger: /sbin/lvm vgscan && /sbin/lvm vgchange -ay [12:32] ooh [12:32] ruediger: sorry... I keep forgetting you're in the initrd :p [12:32] You have to wear two 'hats' - one for initrd and one for full root mounted [12:32] I'm currently installing xubuntu from the alternative cdrom and the installation is stucked at 6% can i fix this somehow? [12:32] IntuitiveNipple: ok done [12:33] ruediger: okay, now, you *should* be able to exit the busybox and continue booting... I think you press Ctrl+D (or type exit) [12:34] :/ the same error lvm vgscan did not create /dev/mapper/vg-lv [12:34] ruediger: hmmm... did vgscan report finding a VG? [12:34] ruediger: if not the following vgchange wouldn't have run [12:35] hi! Guy I know have his PS/2 notebook keyboard non-functional during install of 8.10. External UBS keyboard works. How this can be solved? [12:35] it only said "Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while..." [12:35] ruediger: try doing the vgchange separately: /sbin/lvm vgchange -ay [12:35] is there a way that I can send a message to someone connected to my server via ssh? [12:36] I have the ip [12:36] jway: use the wall command [12:36] no-ip isnt updating my ip!! [12:36] IntuitiveNipple: ok. but vgchange didn't report anything. But echo $? reports 0 [12:37] ruediger: is the volume in /dev/mapper though? [12:37] jway: install 'talk' [12:37] anyone knows why my sys only shows 3.2 of 4GB ram on 64bit version? (dmidecode correctly shows 2x2GB) [12:37] IntuitiveNipple: no [12:37] Frantic: Yes, because the space between 3.2G and 4G is reserved for PCI I/I Memory so RAM can't appear there. [12:38] jway: the write command may work too [12:38] ruediger: Hmmm. [12:38] thanks [12:38] fggh [12:38] hy [12:38] Frantic: additionaly check your BIOS setting if some space is reserved, i have 4GB and "only" 3,5 are accessable [12:38] IntuitiveNipple: tealson: I was under the impression that these problems only concern 32bit versions [12:39] co_cakep: ? [12:39] Frantic: not if you reserve ram in the bios, e.g. for the grafic card [12:39] Frantic: If the chipset supports RAM remapping it can make it available. Some northbridge chipsets for 64-bit CPUs only provide 32-bit address space [12:40] IntuitiveNipple: maybe I should just reinstall the system and only put dm-crypt/lvm on my /home === randoms|away is now known as randoms [12:40] Frantic: ubuntu server can access more ram with a 32bit OS, if I had more than 3Gb I'd go 64bit [12:41] ruediger: I have *everything* in LVM and then apply encryption to selective LVs ... this laptop has 17 LVs I think [12:41] IntuitiveNipple: so you go the other way arround? I added my lvm on top of the crypto [12:41] good morning i have a quickcam labtec installed and is working only onder canforama. There is anyway to get installed to use for ekiga and skype ?? what i have to do ?' [12:42] ruediger: Yes, from experience previously, the encryption overhead for some of the file-system trees was un-necessary so I went from crypt > LVM to LVM > crypt [12:43] !webcam | mrp [12:43] mrp: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [12:43] ruediger: Things like my SoureCode tree, with the linux kernel git repos and about 100 other various source packages is now unencrypted... about 90,000 files in ext4... much faster than when it was in the encrypted area [12:44] ubottu: thank you i'm going to see that [12:44] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:44] lol mrpurple [12:44] ActionParsnip: thank you going to read that [12:44] lol [12:44] tealson: IntuitiveNipple: thanks guys, that was it, enabled remapping from the bios :) [12:45] Frantic: nice :) [12:45] IntuitiveNipple: I'll try splitting up / and /home and only lvm/encrypt on /home. I want my system to work :) [12:45] manacim: first time here [12:45] ruediger: lol... that's defeatist! [12:45] IntuitiveNipple: yeah :( [12:46] ruediger: I think you have a bad install, because vgscan should have found the VG [12:46] Anyone here familiar with m0n0wall and installation on a CF? [12:46] IntuitiveNipple: ok I'll give it a last try :) [12:46] I'll reinstall the system [12:47] ruediger: You need to check the cleartext LUKS volume really does have an LVM inside [12:48] does anyone use compiz in here [12:49] man pastebinit: "OPTIONS: Required arguments: -f [filename] (or piped data)".

[13:28] runpain2: i just submitted your suggestion for review :D [13:28] Carpe|Diem, yes. you could do that. [13:28] ok, Dr_willis but how:) [13:29] nmlinuz: in any case, you want to learn about "namespaces" in c++ [13:29] Carpe|Diem, properly move the files from /home to /To_Be_Home, unmount /home/ then rename /ToBeHome to /home [13:29] I assume i need to modify fstab etc? But im not familiar with that [13:29] how can i show much ram ive used out of total ram available to me [13:29] Carpe|Diem, only fstab editing would be to edit out the line that mounts home. thats trivial [13:29] is that all, Dr_willis ?:s [13:29] Decepticon: free [13:29] oh ok Dr_willis [13:29] what was the command for seeing kernel version? [13:29] jrib free shows me having almost used everything, that doesnt sound right [13:29] Wazle: uname -r [13:29] thx [13:29] Anybody here know how to auto-mount hard drives instead of having to 'visit' the drive in Places first? [13:29] Decepticon: pastebin [13:29] Decepticon: cat /proc/meminfo [13:29] Carpe|Diem, the trick is copying the home the proper way.. depending on what files are in there, and other special files like links and stuff.. it may get confused [13:30] Huufarted: what filesystem? [13:30] jrib http://s.tazeat.com:1234/~bizinichi/paste/1235136757 [13:30] yes, I thought so:/ [13:30] Decepticon: a lot of it is used for disk cache which will decrease as ram is needed [13:30] Decepticon: look at the -/+ buffers/cache line [13:30] jrib: FAT32 [13:30] jrib: i have to download that qc-usb-source_0.6.6-5_all.deb file and install it ? [13:30] jrib, what about it [13:30] perhaps, Dr_willis, its better to format my entire system...I'm rather unexperienced with the deep functions of linux [13:31] ActionParsnip so what is the actual amount of ram used by programs and sentient programs, minus this disk cache [13:31] Huufarted: I think you can install and use ntfs-config for fat as well. If not, you can configure it in /etc/fstab manually yourself [13:31] !fstab | Huufarted [13:31] Huufarted: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[13:31] Decepticon: most of the memory is being used for buffers/cache. So if a program needs it, it will be available. Unused ram is wasted ram, so it makes sense to use as much as possible [13:31] it did not work to change default browserupdate-alternatives: unknown argument `–config' [13:31] Carpe|Diem, do what you want.. but what you are asking about is a rather trivial thing.. and you will never learn untill you try [13:31] Helooo Allll [13:32] it did not work to change default browser update-alternatives: unknown argument `–config' [13:32] Does anyone know if there is an easy fix to this bug? - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/293376 [13:32] i neeed a help in php :$:$:$ [13:32] i neeed a help in php :$:$:$ [13:32] hi people, i need someone to help me setum a remote desktop between widnows and linux /vice versa [13:32] Carpe|Diem and as far as 'deep' this is rather shallow stuff.

[13:33] How do i install apache2-common and apache2-ssl-certificate files ??? apt-get can't find it [13:33] mrpurple: after that, since it's just source, you still need to build it (check for a /usr/share/doc/PACKAGE_NAME/README.Debian file) or ask here. I don't know the details as I have not used it [13:33] and use this in console: sudo /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh [13:34] what to do now? [13:34] Decepticon: i'd say you were using 340Mb, but I have 1Gb ram too and have similar output [13:34] Decepticon: the numbers on the +/- buffers/cache line [13:34] ActionParsnip how do you know this [13:34] Wazle, when i installed that package it auto-ran and got the proper b43 firmnware. I dident have to run that command. [13:34] Decepticon: if you look at the top of the otput of 'top' it will tell you your ram too :) [13:34] Wazle: Load the b43 driver: sudo modprobe 43, check to see if that worked with lshw -C network, and then [13:34] Decepticon: active is my guess [13:34] Decepticon: i'd read up on what the output means [13:34] i gotta split [13:34] Wazle: You ran the commands with th b43 cutter packaage [13:35] it says module 43 not found [13:35] Anyone knows anything about cups-pdf postscript?

[13:36] did i do something wrong? [13:36] Decepticon: no. You are just looking at the +/- buffers/cache line [13:36] if i use sudo modprobe 43 it says module not found [13:36] Wazle: Sounds like you didn't install it [13:36] jrib whys that [13:36] Carpe|Diem, you said / - so you sauid you wanted it in /home so like i mentioned.. use /to_be_home to move stuff to.. Unmount /home/ delete /home THEN rename the /to_be_home to become /home [13:37] so? what do i do now [13:37] a [13:37] Decepticon: because that's the memory that's being used for things other than buffers/cache [13:37] ok Dr_willis, Ty...I will have a try now :] [13:37] jrib as you can see, my data is shifted to the right for the column you speak of, what do those numbers represent, used and free or total and used [13:37] hi all just doing a test [13:38] In /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf we add "PostProcessing /usr/bin/abc", /usr/bin/abc is: "echo "lalala">/tmp/tmp.log" and after we print to PDF printer tmp.log does not exist.

[13:40] jrib: i installed from repository. In usr/share/doc/ there are two directorys : qc-usb-source and qc-usb-utils [13:40] mrpurple: try the first one [13:40] do i have to restart system? [13:40] jrib so would you say that total_ram_used (the way i understand it) / total_ram ... is this: [the number from -/+ buffers/cache row and used column] / [the number from Mem: row and total column] [13:41] Decepticon: if you don't want to count the ram being used for buffers/cache, yes.

Am I doing this wrong? [14:01] pjsturgeon, vfat [14:01] thanks enzotib [14:01] speedmaster: I also had no problems on my laptop and on all the other hardware I bought myself. [14:01] and why we dont need anti-virus for linux? [14:01] I have screenlets installed and wanted to add one.. where would I extract the downloaded widget? [14:02] KazaLite: suppose to be bullet proof [14:02] or say they say :) [14:02] KazaLite: because only idiots run their system from root [14:02] KazaLite, because theres very few out there for linux. and those that are out - are often very very specific to specific services and versions of those services.. so its not a problem [14:02] KazaLite: As Linux become smore popular, more people will target it [14:02] if i sat down and looked at top, and all the programs it lists and their memory usage, if i added all those percentages up, and if i took my statistic (cache_used/mem_total) * 100, would they be the same? and is this statistic equal to the "Active:" number given by the command "cat /proc/meminfo" [14:02] KazaLite: Because there are only a handful of viruses existing for Linux and they do virtually no harm [14:02] KazaLite, and even then in a 'worse' case - it would be the users stuff that gets trashed by malware.. niot the system [14:03] KazaLite: the most important reason is that there is no mono culture. [14:03] pjsturgeon, I think mount shows the valid fs type name strings. [14:03] pjsturgeon, sorry, the mount man page. [14:03] KazaLite: if you invest 1 million dollar to hack 100 million machines, that's good business, but there are not 100 million the same Linux machines. [14:04] I have screenlets installed and wanted to add one.. where would I extract the downloaded widget? [14:04] KazaLite: The thing is that in Linux, be default, you have virtually no privileges on the computer. So for that reason, if you download a virus... that virus wouldn't be able to do much harm except to your user [14:04] RussM: didnt spot it if it was there. Mounted now, just fiddling with fstab :) [14:05] My son has installed Ubuntu on a Windows machine. Now, he'd like to be able to read the Windows portion of the drive from inside Ubuntu. Is it possible? [14:05] Sure [14:05] yes [14:05] ntfs-3g should be installed by default on ubuntu, you just might have to mount it manually [14:05] tyche: Yes, ubuntu should find that portion automatically [14:05] tyche: yep. Just open the file manager and click on the Windows partition. [14:05] ntfs-3g should be on already synaptic will install it if not [14:06] Thanks. Let me see if that works for him. === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [14:06] hey guys, im trying to append /etc/modules..... it says i dont have permission, yes im a n00b! [14:06] Has anyone here dealt with this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/293376 [14:07] Tha_Stig: did you use sudo? [14:07] tyche: see what JEEBcz wrote.. to try to mount all drives in one fell swoop in a terminal type sudo mount -a. then look on the desktop for the new icon for the windows drive [14:07] beat me to it adam7 [14:07] anyone know a good guide for automounting vfat drive? Cant find the right settings for fstab [14:07] adam7: nope, i dont know how to open the file through terminal, im using text editor [14:07] Kartagis: thanks [14:08] np Dimensions [14:08] got one, no worries [14:08] pjsturgeon: i'm sure there's a bash script out there [14:08] Tha_Stig: press ctrl+f2 then type gksudo gedit /path/to/file where /path/to/file is that path to the file [14:08] Hey guys, running Heron here on a Dell Inspiron netbook (not sure if that matters), but I can't switch users. No matter which "switch user" button I hit (directly from the panel or from the "System -> Quit" screen, I just get a black screen and then back to asking for the password of the last user logged in (basically it just locks the screen and never gives me an option to switch users)... anyone have any suggestions on where to start [14:08] to fix it? i've googled with not much luck.... [14:08] please can someone help me with my dpkg issue: http://paste.ubuntu.com/120591/ [14:08] adam7: thanks, ill try that now =] [14:08] !vfat | pjsturgeon [14:08] pjsturgeon: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [14:09] josh__: check and see if there is a switch user button on the box asking for the password of the last user [14:10] adam7: There is, and that one doesn't work either -- it does the same thing as the others. [14:10] josh__: did you create a new user? [14:10] the ctrl+f2 didnt work but i managed to fix my lil issue, lets hope my wifi works now :D [14:11] I have 2 users on my system... I have ever since I received it. [14:12] Tha_Stig: iwconfig doesn't show what the problem is? [14:12] josh__: when you initially boot the machine are you able to log into the other account? [14:12] Yes. [14:12] And if I log out completely, then I can log in as the other user then, too. [14:13] speedmaster: im following this guide for the wifi fix https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne [14:13] josh__: so it's just the user switcher. do you have a theme installed that is other than "stock"? [14:14] No, I haven't installed any themes. [14:14] Hey, does anyone here know how to revert a kernel update? [14:14] josh__: what version of ubuntu are you running? [14:14] Heron. [14:14] Tha_Stig: are you using intrepid and if so i'm guessing it didnt work out of the box? [14:14] ScarySquirrel, you can remove it you want to... or rather use the older kernel [14:15] 8.04 [14:15] im actually using mint, but since its based off ubuntu <.< [14:15] !mint | Tha_Stig [14:15] Tha_Stig: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [14:15] Tha_Stig: We do not support Mint in here. [14:16] josh__: looking.. hang on [14:16] So my laptop (Compaq) Occasionally has issues waking up from suspend. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 and specifically the issue is that when I go to wake up, the computer wakes up, but the password prompt does not appear (Computer is awake, but screen is still black, not entirely black like off black, but artificially black like on black if that makes sense) [14:16] Ok. Thanks. [14:16] Yeah, I have an extremely weird problem in my UBUNTU GNOME operating system that remained even when I used a Linux Mint Live CD with XFCE. [14:16] i usually fix my mint issues with ubuntu solutions...and thus my wifi is working now ^^ [14:16] In my searches on Google and of the Ubuntu forums i see problems similar to mine but not the same [14:17] ScarySquirrel, expalin the problem [14:17] I want to setup an Ubuntu Server that accepts no incoming connections (except from my computer), but can connect outside (e.g. for updates) -- basically a secure dev server that's connected to the internet. Should I use ufw to do this? [14:17] Travis-42, iptables [14:17] arvind_khadri: I already have, three months ago, in detail, at the following location: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6767674#post6767674 [14:18] Tha_Stig: so iwconfig doesn't show any readings? [14:18] Travis-42: use ssh with ssh keys [14:18] Travis-42: unless you always connect from the same IP it will be difficult to set up the server to only allow your computer to see the open port [14:18] adam7: definitely going to do that... but what about server processes like apache? [14:19] speedmaster: i just put the ath_pci line in the modules file...did a restart and wifi is working now, gonna read up the whole guide first before moving further :) [14:19] Travis-42: if you always connect from the same IP it's trivial to do with iptables, but if you use multiple IP addresses [14:19] it's much more difficult [14:19] hmm ok thanks adam7 and arvind_khadri [14:19] Tha_Stig: glad to hear you got things going at least [14:19] ScarySquirrel, you can choose a older kernel at the grub menu [14:20] Travis-42, np :) [14:20] Ugh stupid Internet connection. [14:20] anyone know how to access secondary harddrive with terminal and delete files with it? [14:20] Tha_Stig: what chipset is your wireless nic? [14:21] Do you think upgrading to 8.10 would solve the switch user problem? Is it worth attempting? [14:21] booksbuggy, you can use rm [14:21] im not sure :$ i just got this netbook a few hours ago XD [14:21] josh__ sorry I haven't found anything.. sorry 'bout that.. upgrading might help if the issue isn't in your /home in a . file [14:21] arvind_khadri: Oh, of course. I will try that, and if it fails, I will add it to the list. [14:21] Tha_Stig: I've had a lot of troubles with wireless nic's that use Atheros chipsets over many platforms [14:21] im having some trouble setting up a samba share of a symlinked folder [14:22] I can read, but not write [14:22] booksbuggy, rm -rf /path/to/directory .... use it carefully [14:22] well my other ubuntu drive got problem and i can't go into the place [14:22] it won't let me go into the other drive [14:22] pjsturgeon: sounds like a permissions problem [14:22] ScarySquirrel, did you file a bug? [14:22] No worries. It wouldn't even be a big issue, it's my partner and I's secondary computer (basically so we didn't have to fight over being on facebook at the same time lol), except that he likes his settings are totally different than I do lol [14:23] booksbuggy, what do you exactly want to achieve? [14:23] the drive was renamed 499.3 GB Media [14:23] @ping [14:23] trying to go in and delete the x11 folder [14:23] speedmaster: it was working when they were normal folders on that disk. the folders have been replaced with symlinked folders to content on the new drive i mounted. now it fails to write [14:23] it has some problem [14:23] Looking for some help with my Ipod and Ubuntu - can anyone help? [14:23] the samba share is here: http://pastebin.com/m71cb3b2 [14:23] If I want to continuously display a file..waht command do I use (is cat outputs a static file) [14:23] is= ie [14:23] booksbuggy, its using that 'name' because the drive has no other volume name set. [14:23] and i can't restore the thing in recovery because it is read only for some reason [14:24] josh___: you could get inventive and add another video card, keyboard, monitor and mouse and set the machine up so you can both log in at the same time.. [14:24] Very_Cool, check the 'watch' command. or the 'tail' command - depeoidn ion your needsd [14:24] thanks [14:24] Very_Cool try less, or tail -f [14:24] That would be pretty inventive on a netbook, lol, or on my Macbook. [14:24] i tried to do system restore with the back up thread in forum [14:24] Does anyone know how to get their Ipod to sync with ubuntu [14:24] !ask | David_E [14:24] David_E: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:25] !ipod | David_E [14:25] David_E: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [14:25] it just keep on saying it can't replace files for everything because the files is already there [14:25] If anybody has a 'normal' NIS server, can you let me know what GROUP, PASSWD and SHADOW are are set to in /var/yp/Makefile please? [14:25] archwild thanks [14:25] and the only thing that's wrong is the x11 folder [14:25] pjsturgeon: that's stumped me, i was going to ask what group was using it but it your log indicates it's open to all [14:25] do i need to set chown to anything specific? [14:26] archwild: you gotta smile at linux when you can say "try less or tail -f" and mean it.. just thinking if someone that knew absolutely nothing would think you were joking . :) [14:26] hi there [14:26] its meant to be an open share to anyone on the network (for xbox and whatnot) [14:26] wel i have to get out for now be back later [14:26] !hi | Silicium [14:26] Silicium: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [14:26] thanks I'll try it [14:26] where is the bootsplash saved on the live CD? [14:26] I am running 32bit Ubuntu Ibex and today when I came into work and opened FF, it has no window decoration and I cant alt+click to move it. It doesn't look like it's using the "full screen" function because i can still hit that and itll do its thing.. any ideas? [14:26] in the initrd or directly in the kernel? [14:26] pjsturgeon: the settings seem to be correct for that [14:27] scunizi, haha - didn't even notice that - I should get out more... [14:27] speedmaster: think there is an issue with using a symlink for samba? or are my actual file settings wrong? [14:27] pjsturgeon, you may want to set uid and gid options on the mount point [14:27] is there any necessity to do tasks like disks clean-up, defragmenting, and other system optimizing tasks like on windows? [14:27] rrittenhouse: turn "effects" off if they are on [14:27] pjsturgeon: I can't say about symlink, but your permissions to me are spot on. [14:27] bangalibabu: no for the most part [14:27] aha RussM, could be it. my mount is set as /dev/sda1 /media/second-drive vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=000 0 0 [14:27] bangalibabu, no they happen automagically... and linux fs dont fragment [14:28] bangalibabu: nope.. about once a month your system will do a fsck on partitions while booting but that' about the extent of it. [14:28] scunizi, actually that worked. wtf? :) Why all of a sudden after I do updates it's doing that haha [14:28] pjsturgeon: what are you accessing the share from? === Peter_ is now known as Guest86130 [14:28] Mac Finder [14:28] scunizi, and if i turn them back on to "normal" and restat ff it does the same thing. Weird. [14:28] thank you all [14:28] rrittenhouse: there's a way to get them back with effects on but I've forgotten.. they are called "decorations".. [14:29] scunizi, thx ill find it [14:29] bangalibabu, np ... [14:29] pjsturgeon: osx isn't my forte unfortunately [14:29] arvind_khadri: thank you [14:29] pjsturgeon, Hmmm. My mac died. [14:30] I think RussM is probably right, it could be a mounting issue. is this ok? "/dev/sda /media/second-drive vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=000 0 0"? [14:30] that's really wonderful [14:30] Russm: im sorry for your loss [14:30] Using tsclient, I have the "enable window manager's key bindings" option checked, while using fullscreen. Ideally, I would like use one of my workspaces as a fullscreen remote desktop to a citrix server, and then use ctrl+alt+left/right to go to my other work spaces. [14:30] This kind of works. When I hit ctrl+alt+left/right, the workspace switcher pops up, but when I select a different workspace, it doesn't change to the other one [14:31] pjsturgeon, I just wish Apple would let me copy the OSX over into a virtual machine on my 'buntu server. :) [14:31] pjsturgeon: Do it anyway. If you are in Germany it turns out its fully legal! [14:31] pjsturgeon: you mounting is correct [14:31] your* [14:31] otherwise, issue [14:32] speedmaster: i think i need to set with user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0 [14:32] RussM: Hackintosh ftw [14:32] RussM im thinking of going the other way. Putting ubuntu on my macbook >.< [14:32] rrittenhouse: just a thought.. if you have ccsm installed then go in there and see if the decorations button is checked..it's in the Effects section of ccsm [14:32] pjsturgeon: to be honest, If it's readable i don't think mounting is an issue - but I don't know what osx needs [14:33] hmm [14:35] pjsturgeon: you aren't trying to write something bigger than 2gb to a fat32 file system are you?: === Stooooge is now known as Stooge [14:35] nono, all little stuff [14:35] fat16 is 2gig [14:35] 4gig for 32 [14:35] trying to make a folder actually >.< [14:36] my bad deany [14:36] speedmaster, Hmmm. Looks like have done it in a VM. Maybe I should dig that Mac out of the trash to save the HD. :) [14:36] pjsturgeon, use ntfs :P === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [14:37] RussM: The only thing from stopping install of OSX from majority of people is hardware setup. So why not. [14:37] arvind_khadri doesnt make much difference to me. not sure if the 360 can read NTFS strangely enough [14:37] pjsturgeon, this isnt OSX support channel [14:37] got it guys, RussM you were right. I added user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 to the options and not its fine [14:38] pjsturgeon: it should read NTFS, my 360 connects to my wifes XP machine [14:38] speedmaster: fat32 can hold files up to (4GiB - 1B) afaik [14:38] arvind_khadr thats good, cause im not asking for OSX help. [14:38] erUSUL: I though it was 4gb max [14:38] my fat32 mounting conversation spilled over into a talk of OSX-linux inter-operability ;) [14:38] thought* [14:38] and a general filesystem convo it seems [14:39] speedmaster: the fat32 filesystem can be larger than 4gb but the max file size is 4gb === DEA7H is now known as efnet [14:39] adam7: that's what I was implying [14:39] now im going to watch videos downloaded from my OSX, network shared over to my ubuntu box and streamed to my xbox 360! :D [14:39] does my server detect you correctly? http://92.3.249.221/ [14:39] pjsturgeon, Glad to hear its working.

[14:40] hello everybody [14:40] though*\ [14:40] B10S: seems so, I get a thing with windows icon :p - corrected [14:40] u [14:40] speedmaster: I think most people still use fat32 on USB drives [14:40] can i register my nickname in this irc server [14:41] gangs7a: yes you can [14:41] gangs7a: /msg nickserv help :) [14:41] NTAuthority, are you using windows?

I know it's related to the local apt package list, but how does this mechanism work exactly? [14:42] arvind_khadri: I tried the oldest kernel I have left on my list on the GRUB: 2.6.24-21 generic [14:43] ScarySquirrel, so whats the result? [14:43] whos using a Mac? [14:43] RenatoSilva: the first set of files you see are probably security updates which typically are setup to download automatically.. the others are program upgrades.

[15:05] josh__: perfect =D le me know if you get it working [15:06] Huufarted: A trick I like is just find the line for your drive from /etc/mnttab and append it to /etc/fstab [15:06] Huufarted: is the device correct?? /dev/hda4 ? paste the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [15:06] malibu: I'll try that.

[15:12] Fiftyone: the only thing that comes to mind is power settings, if either machine suspends or hibernates during this process it will interupt the xfer [15:12] RenatoSilva-> because of your question why a daemon? [15:12] arvind_khadri; any idea?? [15:13] arvind_khadri: autoremove & autoclean may run at startup, if there's nothing to clean or remove, then NOTHING HAPPENS, there's NO PROBLEM with this approach ;) [15:13] DarkKnight, that should work then... i dont know much about it am sure.... google it....

[15:19] aleix -> thats an application? what does that do supposedly? [15:19] n8tuserf: Didn't think of that. I'll try it. [15:19] Is there a way to disable .bash_history?

If I reboot and select an older kernel, it works fine. It's SATA if that makes any odds. Any ideas? [15:26] aleix -> if possible, there may be an equivalent iptables rules to accomplish that, try to figure out what that module accomplishes and maybe you can be able to create a rule to do same functionality [15:26] arvind_khadri No idea why he is on that kernel [15:26] ok, i'll see what i can do... [15:27] thanks [15:27] older kernel can wort better [15:27] Jack_Sparrow: it's not just about wubi :) [15:27] Jack_Sparrow, ok :) if i upgrade say from gutsy to hardy my kernel tree should autmatically change? === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [15:27] breeze: well it does.... for the DVD at least [15:27] Okay...

[15:30] k [15:31] godzirra -> i dont know if it just mine, cdrom/dvdroms do warm up, i think the laser overheat after several usage, so let it cool down a few mins, and try again?

[15:41] godzirra -> try the 1x [15:41] arvind_khadri, that you will need need to install it using the package its being refered by...what do you want basically?

[15:44] guntbert: I know... and interesting! works on another ubuntu system [15:44] but not on my laptop [15:44] erUSUL: I got it mounted. It took some work, but I found the issue. The mounting directory HAS to be created. when you mount it through GNOME (and KDE I'd assume), it automatically does this and then removes it afterwards. Adding an entry into fstab requires the empty directory already exist.

[15:46] well, I can do it on another system, so that's good enough... can do my analysis there [15:47] whacked: We do not support XAMPP here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in the repositories.

[16:27] patrickas: read the guide and it will help you install grub to the drive [16:27] ok [16:27] patrickas: its not THAT specific, jeez :) [16:28] sandGorgon: all with removing them from /var/cache/apt/archives/, but there is also apt-get autoclean [16:28] kamyk: is this ok: http://break.com/index/bird-learns-how-to-fish.html [16:28] nanotube: thanks alot, great advice ::P [16:28] ActionParsnip1 : yes but on the next start the same module will be up [16:28] patrickas: its if the grub gets lost due to ANY OS writing to the boot sector [16:28] blackjak__: then blacklist or uninstall the package it is part of [16:28] quibbler: yes is working [16:29] freegoo: NetworkManager [16:29] blackjak__: if you need one of the modules from a package you have to blacklist [16:29] kamyk: we can try something else [16:29] freegoo: np. have fun :) [16:29] blackjak__: or you can use a startup script to run that command when you logon [16:29] ActionParsnip1: Yes I know ... I will read and follow it, I just objected because I assumed that the guide will help me reinstall grub in the same location it was originally installed in, which never worked in the first place. [16:29] freegoo: there are also gui tools that help, if you are into that kind of stuff :) i think firestarter is reputed to be decent at it. [16:30] is there a command to scan the entire subnet and see what machines are present? [16:30] like am ARP ping or something [16:30] But I am not going to be bone headed about it ... I will try it anyways , maybe it will work [16:30] quibbler: ok [16:30] Iceman_B^unix: nmap [16:30] Iceman_B^unix, nmap -sP 192.168.*.* [16:31] tnx NFischer, I'll give that a shot [16:31] patrickas: assume makes an ASS out of U and ME ;) [16:31] need to install nmap first I see [16:31] god I'm old [16:32] kamyk: do firefox out...open nautilus and make sure you can see hidden files and directories. go to ~/.mozilla/firefoz/(yourprofile).default/ and delete localstore.rdf [16:32] ActionParsnip1: in the guide it says : grub> root (hdX,Y) which is (hd1,5) in my case [16:32] Iceman_B^unix, the problem with this is, that the machines could theoretically block the ping request.. but for normal usage this should work [16:32] patrickas: disk numbers start at 0 [16:33] patrickas: not 1 [16:33] ActionParsnip1, thats from sidney sheldon :P [16:33] NFischer: n/p, I'll just see what I end up With [16:33] kamyk: now open firefox and try youtube [16:33] *jab* *jab* [16:33] ActionParsnip1: THis time I did not assume anything :-) I ran find /boot/grub/stage1 and it gave me (hd1,5) [16:33] quibbler: this same ;/ [16:33] patrickas: fair enough [16:33] or am I so thick I cannot follow the guide :-( [16:34] quibbler: wheit [16:34] patrickas: no if thats what the guide says i'd agree [16:34] but the next step says : grub> setup (hd0) and not hdX so my question is should I put hd0 regardless of the output of the previous command ? [16:34] patrickas: try http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [16:35] ah crud [16:35] are there any issues with ubuntu x64 server along the lines of compatibility with certain apps the desktop version has?

You seem to have a serious tmpfs addiction :) <-- well I'm running from a USB key, but I'm about done with that [16:46] so my nex question, is there a way to boot from a live cd and save the settings to a USB key or somethinbg ? [16:46] When I logged into Ubuntu, the top and panels don't show up. I can open programs fine with Gnome Do (which is how I got on here), but if I minimize the windows there's no way to get them back. [16:46] bump :/ [16:46] how do i move a folder from my desktop to a folder called opt without receiving a message permission denied, my method of moving folder is copy & paste ? [16:46] ice_cream, there is. search the wiki for persistent usb key [16:46] Yossarian, stop bumping... [16:47] okay okay... [16:47] Seveas: alright [16:47] SuperGuy_9000, start gnome-panel with gnome-do [16:47] thanks [16:47] OK [16:47] whacked, where do you want to copy your folder to?

[16:48] if so, I could supervise the install remotely.... [16:48] hoi [16:48] i stated the folder i wanted to copy to in my question ? [16:48] I just get the option to copy the text when I typed gnome-panel. [16:48] Iceman_B^unix, by default it does not. I believe you can do anna-install openssh-server-udeb and run it then, but I'm not entirelt sure. [16:49] has anyone got shadowing withing with freenx? [16:49] whacked, "opt" is not a folder [16:49] I get no error number, but I noticed that no matter what password I enter, it instantly throws out that error message and then proceeds to authenticate [16:49] what is freenx? [16:49] NFischer, it is, look in /. There's /opt :) [16:49] use google moofhahn, i'm here for support. [16:50] me too. I dont get compiz installed [16:50] hey is thr any irc for PHP developers? [16:50] ^ [16:50] The_Rebel, and an attitude like that makes it less likely to find that :) [16:50] The_Rebel: this is not the nomachine nor freenx support channel. [16:50] krishnan, #php perhaps? [16:50] ok i goto computer then file system and i see a folder called opt ? [16:50] Seveas, yeah so just copy it with sudo?! [16:51] NFischer, I missed the start of the discussion, so I don't know what you're trying to accomplish [16:51] there is fact a folder called "opt" [16:51] goto file system and you will see a folder called opt [16:52] hello, I'd like to get the list of all packages installed on an ubuntu computer but not their dependencies: for isntance I want ubuntu-desktop but nor firefox...how do I achieve that?

I could not see the grub menu ... so I followed this guide (with a small change) and now I cannot boot into windows anymore [16:56] patrickas, you do run the cd of windows and use fixmbr in repair mode...after that you need to reinstall grub [16:56] is there a way and can save the current state of ubuntu (like hibernation) but shutdown my computer and boot my osx partition [16:56] ??????????????????? [16:56] patrickas, can you please paste the o/p of sudo fdisk -l and menu.lst [16:57] how can I prevent windows from locking ntfs drives when it breaks down ? [16:57] I just installed 8.04 LTS.

[17:04] Seveas, can u help with broken dual boot after upgrade [17:04] arvind_khadri: before I installed ubuntu, it was just a regular hard disk in windows with data on it. [17:05] stevemac76 when i turn on my computer i get something that looks like this http://img7.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00042ss8.jpg [17:05] I always thought it was NTF formatted [17:05] wow i got xampp installed on my own [17:05] I mean NTFS [17:05] without any help [17:05] kevin_405, not right now [17:05] patrickas, fdisk -l tells something else... when you did setup (hdx) what did you use here? [17:05] whacked, then now is the time to remove that. Ubuntu has its own lamp stack, which is actually maintained [17:06] Do anybody know abrowser faster firefox or not? And which of Web-browsers is fastest? [17:06] aata, when you boot, try entering failsafe mode [17:06] huh [17:06] Besogon, abrowser is firefox without the firefox logo. No seed difference. Fastest browser is lynx :) [17:06] aata then try adjusting your drivers [17:06] arvind_khadri: first time i used hd0 then rebooted ... but it still botted straight into windows ... [17:06] your statement provides no insight === allquixotic_ is now known as allquixotic [17:06] when I do a lshw or lspci no where can I find that I have scsi devices, I know my drives are IDE/ATA. Why are scsi drivers in use? Can I remove them from my kernel and use the ATA drivers? What am I missing? [17:07] arvind_khadri: so I tried with hd1 and it booted into GRUB ... but windows stopped working [17:07] patrickas, remove the map lines... i dont think they are needed... [17:07] stevemac76 how do i enter failsafe mode. and more importantly how do i adjust drivers [17:07] Seveas, Do lynx work in command line? [17:07] arvind_khadri: They were added by the installed ... I will comment them out and reboot [17:07] Besogon, yes [17:07] Besogon, its for cli :P [17:07] Seveas, do u know if ubuntu upgrade saves old menu.lst [17:07] or should I run grub again ? [17:08] after I remove the map lines ? [17:08] aata when your restart, you get a very short time to enter the grub menu so be on the lookout. I think it's f1 that gets you there. [17:08] kevin_405, not sure. *if* it backs the file up, the backup also lives in /etc/apt [17:08] patrickas, just comment them out... install grub once again to be safe :) [17:08] aata after that you have a few options for booting. [17:08] ok [17:09] and then? [17:09] nice. But what is really fine browser FOR X in Linux? [17:09] Besogon, firefox is still the default browser. Apart from its sluggishness it's decent. [17:09] !poll | Besogon [17:09] Besogon: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [17:09] Seveas, thx [17:09] aata after booting into failsafe you can change to vesa drivers [17:09] arvind_khadri: so I remove the lines, then "sudo grub" then "root (hd1,5)" then "setup (hd1)" ? [17:10] stevemac76 how do i change to vesa? [17:10] patrickas, ya ... sounds good.. [17:10] HELLO [17:10] aata I don't remember how to change via command line, but you should be able to google it [17:10] ALOOO [17:11] hello knoppix, please switch off your caps lock [17:11] aata I'm checking it now [17:11] stevemac76 me too [17:11] HELLO MICHA [17:11] ok just a question so I understand what I am doing ... why hd1,5 ??? I mean that's the output of "find /boot/grub/stage1" but what is it supposed to be ? [17:11] let me know if you find anything :D [17:11] hi guys...I have a strange one here. I connect a windows and a linux box up to some of these home ethernet plugs. If I dont have linux plugged in I get a throughput speed across my network of around 54 -74mbps.

[17:13] Does this channel dispense actual Ubuntu support? === BlackWolf is now known as BlackWolf90 [17:13] kronix: yes it does, why?

[17:15] hrm, ok, ty geek'n'proud [17:15] kronix, everyone [17:15] cdavis, vi on ubuntu is a symlink to vim anyway [17:15] That's good.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:15] can someone help me to understand more better ufw because i have load it and when i nmap my interface lo , nmap display some ports open [17:15] whats the command to upgrade my ubuntu install from 8.04 to 8.10 [17:15] nickrud, :) who uses vi anyways ... its so clumsy [17:15] nickrud, I have no question. [17:16] finiras: update manager [17:16] toddoon, lo is only available to the local machine anyway, not visible to the net [17:16] kronix: Ubuntu is a home user distro in the main [17:16] Isn't it listed in the package manager. [17:16] arvind_khadri, i do .. the 'clumsiness' doesn't bother me :) [17:16] Geek`N`Proud, I said that in that channel. [17:16] That was interpreted as trolling. [17:16] Geek`N`Proud: how can I tell if I'm only using 10mbps mate? [17:16] nickrud: vi actually opens vim, the problem is just with crontab. When I first edited cron with crontab I didn't have vim installed so I had to choose vi [17:16] unop, :P :) [17:16] I said I'd rather run my web server on Fedora (which I do). [17:16] nickrud: but how do i configure my firewall on lo?

[17:17] ok...thanks [17:17] can anyone tell me how I check whether my Ubuntu box is running 10mbps or 100mbps? [17:17] someone suggested that i install lamp instead of xampp but i searched for lamp under add&remove programs and return no results [17:17] The editor is vim but crontab still opens with vi instead of vim [17:17] patrickas, so now on windows?? :) [17:17] mikebeecham, ethtool eth0 [17:17] Does the LiveUSB creator work with the mini or net-install images of Ubuntu? I only have a 256MB USB key [17:18] arvind_khadri: Hell no :-) I just made sure windows boots ... then restarted into ubuntu :-) [17:18] toddoon, hm, this wrapper around cron is something new to me. Have to read up on it, sorry [17:18] whacked: The package name is not lamp, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for instructions on how to install it. [17:18] patrickas, cool :) congrats...glad you made it :) [17:18] I get "Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vimrc:" when trying to use crontab because I have syntax turned on, but typing vi opens vim [17:18] kronix: that's a wise choice.. as the proactive security is better =] [17:18] cdavis, vi is a symlink to vim.. readlink -f $(which vi) /usr/bin/vim [17:18] I have to leave windows on my comp because of the games... [17:18] arvind_khadri: So what's next? should I file a bug ? should I forget about it ? how do I prevent another soul from wasting an after noon like I did? Why did the installer mess up on this system ? [17:18] kronix: I meant to say Home Desktop distro :P [17:19] ok...thanks unop. I am running 100mbps...so can anyone think of why I can only get 10mbps throughput across my network, when my linux machine is plugged into the network? [17:19] unop: I get /usr/bin/vim.basic [17:19] patrickas, too many questions :) the map thing isnt useful sometimes... what had happened ?? [17:19] Yes, it is, Geek`N`Proud. [17:19] When I play videos on my desktop while I have compiz running, the videos flash black like the refresh rate is wrong. I set my refresh rate on compiz as 60hz, just like my graphics card drivers do. Any ideas? [17:20] mikebeecham, what tool(s) are you using to measure throughput? and what format does it use? Mb/s or MB/s ? [17:20] stevemac76 apparently after doing that, my computer is now running in low graphics mode (which is better than nothing but stiill pretty pathetic) adnd even after i select vesa in the low graphics mode driver selection, i get no luck [17:20] unop: I have two devolo highspeed ethernet plugs...their own software 'informer' shows me [17:20] and it shows in Mbps [17:20] Guys anyone has that Update Manager window somewhat crippled? I only see half of the rows for program updates... [17:20] at the moment it is on 10 Mbps [17:20] cdavis, EDITOR=vi crontab -e [17:20] ok thanks Pici honestly i think i will stick with xampp since i successfully installed it and it requuired a lot less steps to get installed [17:21] lol sudo taskel lamp . [17:21] I just installed ubuntu server 8.10 like I do every time ( slowly getting rid of windows mahcines at the office ) , at the end of the install I restarted but did not get the GRUB prompt. [17:21] anyone can help me to consigure something with my SVN. I can't svn checkout an HTTPS repository [17:22] can some one please help me ... when i try to restart apache2 on my dedicated server i get errors which says NameVirtualHost *:443 and with *:80 has no VirtualHosts [17:22] mikebeecham, what is the topology of the link like? are you using a switch, hub, straight-through? [17:23] !svn > guilhermeblanco [17:23] guilhermeblanco, please see my private message [17:23] hey nickrod well the link that was posted here does not even mention the simple process you stated no idea why they show a long method [17:23] unop: downstairs, router is plugged into one of these plugs, which goes into the electricity supply. Upstairs, I have my linux machine and a windows machine plugged into a netgear 5 port switch which, inturn, is plugged into another one of these ethernet plugs in the wall [17:23] does that help? [17:23] arvind_khadri: I already have everything installed....

[17:24] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP no on this webpage does it mention just to type sudo taskel lamp [17:24] guilhermeblanco, check out #svn [17:24] arvind_khadri: I see none of the disks on the machine have been auto mounted ! How can I get the right UUIDs to add the fstab ? [17:24] yessir [17:24] arvind_khadri: k, thanks [17:24] When I play videos on my desktop while I have compiz running, the videos flash black like the refresh rate is wrong. I set my refresh rate on compiz as 60hz, just like my graphics card drivers do. Any ideas? [17:24] unop: yes [17:24] !lamp [17:24] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [17:24] Chlorate: change the video out driver [17:24] patrickas, :) ls /dev/device/by-uuid [17:25] How to make .sh file executable not like this ./script.sh -settings default but make it anywhere like this: script -settings default? Thank You! [17:25] mikebeecham, well, that might be it .. as far as i have seen .. most "ethernet over power" devices don't reach 100Mbps [17:25] why is everyone discouraging the use of Xampp ? [17:25] patrickas, sorry its /dev/disk [17:25] ~$ ls /dev/device/by-uuid [17:25] ls: cannot access /dev/device/by-uuid: No such file or directory [17:25] whacked, hm, the page doesn't include 8.10 in the short form. fixing. Thanks [17:25] heheh oops [17:25] ezerhoden, To what and how? [17:26] I'm trying to install kubuntu-desktop on uubntu jaunty, but the installation fails on kdelibs-data [17:26] cumulus007: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion. [17:26] it says there is no space left on device, but there's 33 GB free! [17:26] unop: nope, that is fine. My issue is that historically I've used windows. When using windows I get arouind 54 - 74mbps throughput....if I unplug the linux machine then I still hit that figure. If I plug the linux machine into the 5 port switch then the throughput drops to 10mbps [17:26] patrickas, for a better understanding use blkid [17:27] jurism, put script.sh in your ~/bin directory ?? or some other directory that is in $PATH [17:27] patrickas, /dev/disk/by-uuid [17:27] Thank You! [17:27] Chlorate: what app? [17:28] mikebeecham, ok, so what exactly does ethtool report for your link/interface? [17:28] 100mbps [17:28] mikebeecham, I'm guessing that's for speed. what about duplex? [17:29] unop: full [17:29] i noticed [17:29] ezerhoden, For my drivers? btw my graphics card is ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] [17:29] patrickas, or use ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid [17:29] arvind_khadri:blkid gives me uuids thanks ... the ntfs ones look very different than the etx3 ones .. that's normal I guess ? [17:29] unop thx got it [17:29] what is the cli way to see what groups a user belongs to ? [17:30] Chlorate: no, what application are you playing the videos with? [17:30] mikebeecham, hmm, very odd, i'm not sure then .. perhaps ask in #networking or #cisco ? [17:30] maDChoPR, groups or id [17:30] azerhoden, I have used Totem and vlc, they both do it. [17:30] unop: are they linux-based rooms? [17:31] unop: a user belongs to groups right? i want to see for instance... what groups the user "andy" is in [17:31] patrickas, ya its because you installed windows i guess... its normal [17:31] mikebeecham, no .. but they might be able to give you some insight into why this happens. [17:31] maDChoPR, groups andy [17:31] maDChoPR, or. id andy [17:32] Chlorate: for totem use gstreamer-properties and change the video driver to x11 (no xv) [17:32] unop: rad thanks, sorry i didn't understand what your original answer was, now i do.. i feel ignorant. thanks for the help. [17:32] Guys, i updated to the latest backports version of kdelibs5, how can i rollback to the latest "official" update? [17:33] archman, you cant... afaik [17:34] guys may I paste 3 lines errors here ? [17:34] Fund, ya... [17:34] After unpacking 42.9MB of additional disk space will be used.

[17:34] ezerhoden, Could you explain how in more detail? I'm not very good with ubuntu yet. [17:34] that is when I type.. sudo apt-get install build-essential [17:35] arvind_khadri: Is there a tool to help with autodetecting fstab params or should I just RTF man page ? [17:35] patrickas, none that i know of...maybe google will :) [17:35] Why does "Force Version" want me to erase some files? [17:35] arvind_khadri, why it shows :s [17:36] Chlorate: launch a terminal, type gstreamer-properties, press enter. change the video plugin to X window system (no xv) [17:36] Why do I get this error when typing crontab -e ---> "E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: syntax on" [17:36] Fund, no idea... maybe some libc6 package is down... try sudo apt-get install -f and then install build-essential [17:38] ezerhoden, thank you! That worked perfectly. [17:38] !pm > Fund [17:38] Fund, please see my private message [17:39] Chlorate: your welcome [17:40] @ping [17:40] !ping [17:40] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [17:40] hmm, alright, I'm trying to manage packages and dependencies, apt-rdepends on adduser lists debconf and debconf-2.0, debconf exists but debconf-2.0 doesn't seem to [17:41] although apt-cache show on debconf lists 'Provides: debconf-2.0'; [17:41] does anyone know the name of the virtual desktop apps that you can use your mouse middle wheel to switch desktops ?

[17:44] I have a question about upgrading software? [17:44] For a files permissions, what does rws indicate? I understand rwx, but have never seen rws? [17:44] arvind_khadri: no problem you already helped much :-) [17:44] if I want to upgrade past the version in the repos, is there any intelligent way to do that? [17:44] I mean, so I don't have conflicts and problems down the road? [17:44] NOone knows if i can rollback kdelibs to the official version??? [17:44] patrickas, have you checked fstab to see if its being mounted with the ntfs option [17:44] hi all. I want to host my own webpage. The apache is working fine, and right now im using no-ip.com to redirect to my server. But I would like to have my own .com webpage... But how can I make the server to connect to my computer? Im about to register a domain but it askes me for a DNS server. Can I be my own DNS server?! [17:44] patrickas, np... maybe google about SFS [17:45] you have to purchase a .com [17:45] mfdavid, your best bet is to use somebody else as a DNS server. [17:45] mlissner: yes, upgrade to an LTS version, and that will let you jump to the next LTS version. [17:45] patrickas, fdisk does not read the filesystem type .. all it does is list the partition type -- which are two different things .. in your case there is a discrepancy between the two (and that's not unusual) [17:45] mlissner: i dont think there is a easy way yo do so (roll back) [17:45] hmmm...maybe I didn't explain quite right. [17:45] n2diy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid [17:46] The version in the repos is too old. I want a newer version of a certain piece of software. [17:46] unop: thanks [17:46] I have it installed via the repos already, so should I uninstall that, and then install from source? [17:46] Or leave the one from the repos installed? [17:46] mlissner: or you could try and find a .deb on someother place. [17:46] No dice. [17:46] mlissner: sure uninstall it [17:47] I'm just trying to figure out the standard practice so conflicts aren't an issue. [17:47] mlissner: yeah you will have to uninstall it, but you may get in trouble in future upgrades and stuff... why you want to do that? [17:47] I followed all the community instructions for installing Google Earth, installed it and reinstalled it independently various times, but every time Google Earth 5 loads up its screen shows for a second or two, then quits. What should I do to fix this? [17:47] the version in the repos doesn't work properly, and supposedly it's fixed in the latest source. [17:48] theunixgeek: are you running it from the console? if not, try it and see if it shows any errors. [17:48] theunixgeek, did you try and run from console? [17:48] theunixgeek, this is a known problem. I don't recall the solution, but check ubuntuforums.org I found it there right off the bat. [17:48] mlissner: simply build from source, and when the newer version releases, you uninstall yours and build newer again ;) [17:48] it says "unable to create prefs directory", shifty5 and mfdavid [17:48] mlissner: I'll search there [17:48] OK. I can do that. Generally, is it better to purge the one from repos, or to just uninstall it? [17:49] theunixgeek try running as root and see if the error goes away [17:49] mlissner: i'm not sure of that one, i'll go just uninstalling [17:49] can someone tell me which option enable the ability to use the middle wheel to switch desktops, i have installed compiz manager but for the life of me i cant seem to get it enabled ? [17:49] Sounds good. I'll do that, I guess. [17:49] whacked you have to enable the cube [17:49] and then enable the animations [17:49] ok confusing this is [17:50] imagine enable cube to other features [17:51] still no sucess [17:51] whacked are you sure your compiz is working? [17:51] shifty5: still no [17:51] *nothing [17:51] theunixgeek, did the error change? [17:51] does not appear to be [17:52] do you have 3d acceleration enabled? [17:52] even i checking off the options mentioned [17:52] oh right [17:52] opps [17:52] okk here comes 177\ [17:53] Hi again! I have found that my crystal eye webcam works through ekiga. It does not work in skype. and cheese crashes my system when I open it. any suggestions? thanks [17:53] i might get the hang of linux yet [17:53] btw, i am using 8.04 [17:53] tuxflavrdwafls, try running from a console and see if there are errors [17:53] i love the way firefox loads in 3 seconds [17:54] excuse me... are they any cli tools I can use in init 3 to reconfig my display ? [17:54] i hate the way it uses like 80mb of ram hehe [17:54] shifty5 i do not know the command [17:54] I hear xorg.conf is no longer the thing [17:54] f_newton, you can still use the xorg.conf [17:54] i he does xorg will just overwrite his settings when he configures in the gui [17:55] f_newton, you could use xrandr(1) but that requires a connected display [17:55] well I cant get past the fact that new xorg has to be edited to make my display work yet I have no clue as to ubuntu's cli tools [17:55] shifty5, that's not true .. you need root permissions to overwrite xorg.conf [17:55] is xrandr what is used now? [17:56] hi guys...how can I tell what drivers are being used for my network card? [17:56] is there a terminal command I can use? [17:56] f_newton, a GUI front end to xrandr seems to be what is used to configure the display -- but that's a per-user setting .. if you want to configure a global setting, you can still use the xorg.conf [17:56] the funnest thing i found so far when you goto terminal and type top my Pc show very low cpu usage, and then i go load system monitor it show high cpu usage, strange bug i guess [17:56] hello, is there a way to make suspend occur when some programs are running? (synaptic or vlc are blocking suspend) [17:56] whats the easiest way to install virtualbox? having way too much trouble. [17:56] mikebeecham: [17:56] mikebeecham: I'd like to know that as well [17:56] lupus_: use their repo [17:56] sorry for that blank sentence [17:56] unop not unless I can get the gui to start [17:56] whacked, from what i can tell the sysmonitor uses lots of resources [17:57] even though it reads from tops [17:57] the one in multiverse is quite outdated (like many other packages) [17:57] I need some cli tools to use in init 3 [17:57] lupus_, sudo aptitude install virtualbox-ose [17:57] not familiar with ubuntu only used deb back in the day [17:57] f_newton, why can't you just create a xorg.conf ? [17:57] write one from scratch? [17:57] shifty5 what did you want me to run in the terminal? and what is the command? [17:57] mlissner, mfdavid, shifty5: I got it working by deleting the libcrypto file :D [17:57] tux, its prolly just "skype" [17:57] thanks for your helps [17:58] *help [17:58] f_newton, well, that's one way .. there are others. like X -config ( i think ) [17:58] ive tried the old unix tools such as "setup" no worky [17:58] is it x -config? [17:58] or is it x --reconfig? [17:58] unop- Ive tried that and still no dice [17:58] f_newton, xorg -configure [17:58] theunixgeek, that sounds about right. [17:58] can anyone direct me to a mail transfer agent set-up tutorial for 8.10? I'm trying to set up email notifications from Nagios 3, which uses the "mail" command to send mail. [17:59] hey f_newton, if you read the xorg.conf it will tell yo uthe command to set it back to defaults and x should start [17:59] I wish there was a place I could visit that would let me peruse the cli comands for ubuntu [17:59] shifty5, not with my ati card and this old lcd [17:59] out of range or mode not supported [17:59] ahh [17:59] I need to manually edit the darn thing [17:59] f_newton, have you edited it before? [18:00] so you go into, etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:00] but could not figure out for the life of me how to get in to it with ubuntu [18:00] unop if this was redhat no problem [18:00] then you edit the vertical and horizontal timing [18:00] right [18:00] is the xfce version in #xubuntu or #xuntu [18:00] f_newton, you could just move the xorg.conf out of the way and let xorg choose the defaults [18:00] ok I am writing this down... === highlander is now known as Guest69187 [18:01] i'm trying to enable wireless channels 12 and 13 on laptop with intel 3495ABG using intrepid. [18:01] fnewton, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:01] any ideas, anyone? [18:01] cosmosy:xubuntu [18:01] well apparently the monitor is no longer supported with the new xorg [18:01] it installed but what do I do next? [18:01] its a problem in every distro so far but with rh and fedora I can use the rh admin tools in cli [18:01] lupus_, start it? type VirtualBox in a terminal or something? [18:01] I am just ignorant of ubuntu [18:01] guys..is this right...I just checked my network information, and it tells me that I'm getting 100mb/s [18:02] surely that should be 100mbps? [18:02] Is it possible to gksudo to an ordinary user? [18:02] this is what I get: Could not find VirtualBox installation. Please reinstall. [18:02] i just dwnload testdisk, but i can not seem to run or install it.. what should i excute there is no .sh or config gile [18:02] file [18:03] hello how can i manualy edit the xfce menu?

I will give that a shot and let ya know how it turned out [18:03] Are SQUASHFS error's problems with my hard drive? Or my cd rom drive? Or my CD? [18:04] lupus_, hmm. that's odd. [18:04] shifty5 when I opened skype through the terminal. and then tried to test the video, it crashed my system. [18:04] tux, did you watch the console and look for error messages? [18:04] yes, nothing happened [18:05] tux, try "sudo skype" that will run it as root and see if it crashes [18:05] only do that for testing [18:05] it opens it fine, now ill test video [18:06] Ive used virtualbox in the past and it worked fine but now...

[18:16] erUSUL: Yeah, it crashed saying "SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block " [18:17] tux, google your webcam and see if thats the device [18:17] cbilljones: you should have a look at preferences in volume control , cause it dont show you them all by default. I take it sound is working? [18:17] godzirra: well as i said squashfs errors may be due to a corrupt cd-r or bad burned disk [18:17] nibblyn, you'll need to populate the xorg.conf [18:17] recon69, ya everything else works, i have already added the stuff i need from pref(mic, mic boost) [18:18] erUSUL: but not a hard drive problem? [18:19] godzirra: no; the squhashfs is used and lives in the livecd [18:19] god, my system just gone unstable as hell in the last week. [18:19] unop: thinking about that. thanks. so populate the xorg.conf seems to be the only method to change the resolution. [18:19] Ok, a catch-22, I want to install root kit protection, but, I have to exspose my self to the internet to get it? Is there a secure way of getting chrootkit onto the box without going on the internet? [18:19] how can i stop ubuntu from popping up a UI when media is inserted ?

[18:20] nibblyn, apparently, yes .. you could do this to create a template you can then improve on. Xorg -configure [18:20] what gives [18:20] shifty5 i googled "suyin corp. ubuntu" and there is alot of stuff about webcams. also I just tried to open xsane image scanner, and it crashed with this error "Failed to open device 'v4l:/dev/video0':invalid argument. [18:20] how bloated is xubuntu when i install it from the CD? [18:20] lupus_, that's probably normal .. still not working? [18:21] and i have no new hardward === imachine_ is now known as imachine [18:21] have had 3 kernel panics, one lost desktop, programs not starting, terminal windows crashing, and thats just today [18:21] erUSUL: I'm checking the cd for defects now. About how long does that normally take? [18:22] godzirra: depends mainly on the cd drive speed i guess it has to read the 700MB and do the sum === PETER_ is now known as Guest92833 [18:22] And if thats good, what else could be going wrong? [18:22] (I'm checking now) [18:22] then I type "virtualbox" in the terminal and it says "Could not find VirtualBox installation. Please reinstall." [18:22] unop: many thanks... configuring now [18:22] I guess I could have gotten a pack of bad cds? [18:22] I've burned it like 6 times now.

[18:25] cbilljones: sudo probably best [18:26] Does anybody have any knowledge about installing software from source? [18:26] I'm trying to install the latest version of tracker, but I can't quite get it configured the way I want. [18:26] thanks Im going to try it [18:26] erUSUL: No errors found.

[18:27] When I run ./configure, it goes well, but in the end it says "Support PDF: no" [18:27] I read the README, and all the other docs I can find, but this didn't appear anywhere. [18:27] what's the easiest way to upload an image for free? [18:27] mlissner: well, install a pdf viewer and try again :) [18:27] (and have it stay around for maybe a few days) [18:28] se tever algem do brasil me diga [18:28] I have created some svg files with inkscape with embedded images. Unfortunatelly these images are rather large in size resulting in a big file size that becomes even bigger when I export them to pdf. Is there a way to automatically shrink the size of the images? Thanks. [18:28] mlissner: you may need source packages for the viewer as well. but not sure if it's required [18:29] erUSUL: Any other ideas? [18:29] recon69, i see my card on pci3, but doesnt say anything about mic [18:29] The install is for tracker, so it's about indexing pdf, not viewing. [18:29] I'm trying to compile in the ability to index them, and pictures, and a few other things. [18:29] mlissner: also, the program may not need a PDF viewer to work, does configure actually give an error [18:30] has the windows title bar bug in ubuntu 8.10 was corrected? (the one that made the title bars grey or dissapear if u use compiz with certain nvidia cards)?

[18:30] can i get the screen of a running ubuntu (no vnc installed) just with ssh? ssh -X host did not work [18:30] recon69 - it's not about a viewer, it's about pdf extraction. === EugenMayer`aw is now known as EugenMayer_ [18:31] cbilljones: what do u mean by improved eactly? === david_ is now known as kapace_laptop2 [18:31] cbilljones: well, next how are you testing it? should use sound recorder [18:31] ifconfig doesn't list the ip address of my eth0 card?

[18:31] just a sec [18:31] vasyl, they dont seem to dissapear anymore, though sometimes theres discoloration [18:31] #ubuntu-ru [18:31] recon69: ya im using sound recorder [18:32] n2diy: not having an IP address would be normal if you not connected to a network [18:32] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=715366 [18:32] that came up from "crystal eye" +ubuntu [18:32] in google.. [18:32] i have used nvidia 177 drivers in past, i just formatted drive reinstalled nivdia drivers and they do not work, nothing has changed about my hardware on pc , this is frustrating [18:33] I would like to set up user monitoring on my box to keep an eye on my kids, screen shots and keylogger does anyone have a recommendation? [18:33] cbilljones: that bug is the only thing preventing me from upgrading to 8.10 ... I wonder if I should wait more or its not as bad as them disapearing, do you mean they decome darker like when out of focus? [18:33] cbilljones: well, have never had problems with mic myself, so can only suggest you check forum for you sound card for more info, and keep asking here [18:33] why is everything i do on ubuntu take a year to solve issues [18:33] whacked, did you go to "hardware drivers" and install the restricted? [18:33] hmmm I guess gone are the days when I can fix an install by the cli or init 3, if you'd rather.... in a debian environment [18:33] did you even read what i typed [18:34] yes but i was asking where you installed from [18:34] I was able to fix it at least for now but booting in to a generic recovery kernel and hand writing a config [18:34] you could have used the package manager, or console [18:34] recon69, ok ill keep playing/searching [18:34] from lanching hardware driver and installing the suggested driver just like a did last time [18:35] does it say its enabled? [18:35] no [18:35] i need help trying to get some flash installed in opera besides adobe 9 [18:35] because it will not let me enable [18:35] why are talking smack [18:35] vasyl: its definently improving, i would do a test install, but i have lots of harddrives, lol [18:35] Hello everyone === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [18:36] shifty5, unop again thanks for your help. with it I was able to get this install bootable [18:36] anyone have a min to help a nub with some kind of permissions problem?

[18:37] it downloaded and installed but fails to load [18:37] did you try from console? [18:38] i don't know what the command is though if anyone does.. [18:38] i have ati [18:38] deasy, drwx------ [18:38] thanks fosco__ [18:38] no from the system/administration/hardware driver, then unbuntu searched for best driver [18:39] same way i did it last time before formatting pc [18:39] and before it workd [18:39] whacked, if you try to run from console it should show an error message [18:39] deasy: d700 [18:39] Question: There is no /etc/modules.d in Ubuntu, is there a specific way in Ubuntu to achieve the same functionality ? [18:39] fosco__, and inside that (ls -l .dbus) are they all 644? [18:40] only thing i did different this time was install compiz manager first [18:40] deasy, inside: drwx------ [18:40] same [18:40] ZummiG777: Theres /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.d/ [18:40] maybe cmpiz is corrupting the installing of nvidia 177 driver [18:40] whacked did you try disabling compiz? [18:40] i really dont know [18:40] how too [18:40] ZummiG777: you can also blacklist modules [18:40] ok uninstalling [18:40] this only a guess [18:41] fosco__, wrx the session-bus one then the files all 644? [18:41] gees dont just go with my hunch as a solution now ok [18:41] whacked, metacity --replace will disable compiz for the current session [18:41] it could be using the ati free drivers and erroring the restricted install [18:41] err, nvidia [18:41] sorry [18:41] Pici: So, if I simply put a file in modprobe.d with the list of modules I would like loaded it would correctly load at boot time? [18:43] ZummiG777: Just modify /etc/modules if you need to specify more modules to load at boot. [18:43] i am installing compiz [18:43] uninstalling i meant [18:43] OK [18:43] erUSUL: Checking the disk found no errors. Any other suggestions or anything else you can think of to try?

[19:04] thanks [19:04] jcase: I thought the one that comes with Ubuntu IS VNC? [19:05] fahadsadah, i have no clue about this, never done it [19:05] i just want to use a local copy of thunderbird and keep it off the notebook heh [19:05] \completely [19:05] ok ubuntu is trash why is when i goto appearance and visual effects it want to install the outdated driver and not the newer version [19:05] is there a way to undo a video driver upgrade? [19:06] jcase: The client that comes with Ubuntu (vinagre) IS VNC. [19:06] whacked, because the newest driver is not available in the repos maybe [19:06] question.. so I'm using this really great theme that would be perfect except one flaw.. text boxes in firefox are black (which is fine) but on many websites the text in the box is also black.. what or where would i go to control this? === OSte is now known as OSste_MiaM === cary_ is now known as Commie_Cary [19:06] fahadsadah, i want to view a ubuntu desktop from a winxp notebook [19:06] no ubuntu is just not a finished product [19:06] jcase: get a windows based VNC client then [19:06] jcase: vinagre is also vnc based... you can search for a vnc program on windows and theyll work fine together. There is also a terminal server client pre installed on ubuntu, this is the default remote access for windows.... based on RDP [19:07] dudus thanks [19:07] nick brandonban6 [19:07] i have nivida 177 installed but it will not activate [19:07] whacked, there is no finished GNU/Linux distrobution [19:07] meaning it full of so many bugs [19:07] strange, irc commands no worky. [19:07] whacked: try Debian Stable if you want "finished" [19:07] Ubuntu is not designed to be 100% bug-free [19:08] you spend days just do things that take seconds to accomplish in windows [19:08] whacked: like what? [19:08] get video driver to work [19:08] i want virtual desktop [19:08] whacked, then go to launchpad.net and start helping out. Ubuntu can use all the help it can get from the community. crying about it wont help ( especially when you got it for FREE ) [19:08] whacked: that took me 3 minutes [19:08] there's even a GUI for it [19:09] and video drivers don't work OOTB with Windows either [19:09] yeah i could have worked and earned the money to buy vista xp windows server in the time it takes sitting home here trying to get free OS to work properly [19:09] whacked, video drivers suck in windows too. ESPECIALLY with a laptop/dock station [19:10] On Windows the included NVIDIA drivers don't even have OpenGL 3D support [19:10] so what [19:10] which IMO makes Windows and Linux equal there [19:10] whacked: what problem are you having?.. my Intel and Nvidia devices work fine.. (3d, etc.) [19:10] big deal [19:10] whacked, state your issue and what you have treid to do to fix it or get yourself windows cd and install that. please stop complaining about it it does not help you get the problem fixed [19:10] hi [19:10] at least i can visual get options to work i am sure thats everyone intent [19:10] i need help here [19:10] whacked, you can't expect your hard earned experience on windows to transfer transparently to unix/linux. There's a fresh learning curve. [19:11] ubuntu___, ask a question then :) [19:11] ubuntu___: how can we help you? [19:11] im using ubuntu [19:11] windows is already installed and works like a charm [19:11] and i installed aircrack-ng [19:11] whacked: did you install it or the OEM? [19:11] Hrm. Its not detecting my cdrom drive now. [19:11] Maybe it is a cdrom problem. [19:11] whacked, you have anti-virus installed on the windows partition? cuz Linux doesn't need it [19:11] i unstalled a triple boot [19:11] * nickrud doesn't have a clue how to run a windows server [19:11] ubuntu___: Wannabe hacker? Oh no! [19:11] when i try the command airodump [19:11] so whats your point [19:12] whacked: if it's the one that came with your PC then i'm not surprised [19:12] ~ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ airodump-ng wlan0 [19:12] socket(PF_PACKET) failed: Operation not permitted [19:12] This program requires root privilegesubuntu@ubuntu:~$ airodump-ng wlan0 [19:12] socket(PF_PACKET) failed: Operation not permitted [19:12] ubuntu___: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:12] whacked, the point is stop complaining, and ask useful questions that will move you along in your install and learning curve [19:12] ubuntu___, sudo [19:12] whacked: if you get a PC with Ubuntu preinstalled (ask Dell, HP or any other non-cheap OEMs!) then it runs flawlessly too [19:12] ubuntu___: use sudo. [19:12] nickrud: It's a lot easier to set up than a Ubuntu server, but a Ubuntu server can be set up and forgotten about. Windows servers need constant attention. [19:12] what do u mean by using sudo? [19:12] ubuntu___: sudo airodump-ng wlan0 [19:12] Windows Server OSes are easier to administer if, like most people, you have experience with Windows workstation OSes. [19:12] ubuntu___: Type 'sudo -i' before entering any of the commands. [19:13] ubuntu___, append sudo to that command [19:13] i have to do that b4 every comman? [19:13] fahadsadah, that's why I made a point of saying 'run' ;) [19:13] Are we helping a wannabe hacker hack a wireless network? [19:13] ubuntu___, not all commands but that one yes [19:13] !sudo |ubuntu___ [19:13] ubuntu___: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [19:13] i will try [19:13] ubuntu___: Put sudo before every command, or sudo -i, and then run them all normally. [19:13] kronix, Not sure, just got here but that's what it looks like... [19:13] kronix: till you run dcomcnfg pagefault and realise that SCW broke it ;-) [19:13] why sudo -i, what is that for [19:13] ubuntu___: read those sudo docs [19:13] Daft_Punk: That makes you root. [19:14] Daft_Punk: if you want to enter an interactive root shell [19:14] oh so perm root? [19:14] ubuntu___: Why do you want access to the wireless network. [19:14] oh ok [19:14] Daft_Punk: in order to do multiple commands, rather than just one [19:14] Daft_Punk: Till you close the terminal [19:14] Daft_Punk, makes you root but can be dangerous if you don't know what your doing [19:14] how do I check my swap size from the terminal? [19:14] Daft_Punk, gives you a root terminal so you don't have to use sudo for each command. type exit to return to normal user level [19:14] ok well it's annoying know that i have the same hardware on my PC that i did a month ago, and had nvidia 177 driver functioning properly, and today i just reinstalled same copy of ubuntu and go install the same nvidia 177 driver in the same matter as last time, but of course it will not work this time [19:14] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo airodump-ng wlan0 [19:14] ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE) failed: Device or resource busy [19:14] ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet) - expected ARPHRD_IEEE80211, [19:14] ARPHRD_IEEE80211_FULL or ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM instead.

[19:14] Sysfs injection support was not found either. [19:14] ok thanks everyone i just wanted to know what the -i was for [19:15] !pastebin | ubuntu___ [19:15] ubuntu___: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [19:15] ubuntu___: use the pastebin to paste stuff that's more than one line [19:15] ubuntu___, it looks like your wireless card isn't in raw mode and/or your drivers don't support packet injection [19:15] ubuntu___, don't paste a bunch of text like that please use the pastebin [19:15] KDB9000, try `cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i swap` [19:15] ubuntu___: Does your card support rawrf? === prmths is now known as gmaculo [19:15] hey everyone. [19:15] wdfwhats' [19:15] !hi | Clinteger [19:15] what is rawf? [19:15] Clinteger: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [19:16] Ha. [19:16] My CD-Rom drive just stopped being detected by my laptop. [19:16] burkmat, thx. [19:16] KDB9000, Np. :) [19:16] my card is iwl3945 [19:16] Guess I know where the problem lies. [19:16] i have ubuntu running on my laptop, which stays on all the time.. so I wanted it to have it connect to my wireless network automatically on startup [19:16] godzirra, sorry to hear that but yeah now you know [19:16] oops. [19:16] IdleOne: Eh. I bought it yesterday. [19:16] The laptop I mean. [19:16] any idea? [19:16] I'll go take it back once my w ife gets home... since I forgot to get the receipt from her. [19:16] godzirra, time to return to the store [19:16] Yup yup. [19:17] KDB9000: also try typing: free [19:17] wish it had died completely before I had burned like 12 ubuntu cds. ;) [19:17] i have ubuntu running on my laptop, which stays on all the time.. so I wanted it to have it connect to my wireless network automatically on startup. I made eth1 auto in /etc/network/interfaces, so I can ssh to the machine on startup but there's no internet connectivity. What does the GUI wireless config thing do differently? :( [19:17] hello [19:17] godzirra, don't mention you tried installing linux. some stores will try and blame it on that and not exchange or refund just say it doesn't work and that is it [19:17] ubuntu___: Hi. [19:17] i have a theory, about these cdroms, i think they are designed to be used in windows so the have trouble reading and writing linux cd images [19:18] and the cdrom is not necisarrly bad, some just handle it better [19:18] Clinteger, if you use /etc/network/interfaces , the gui doesn't touch the defined interfaces at all. [19:18] shifty5: No, all media is generic. [19:18] yes but the firmware on the cdrom isn't [19:18] shifty5, That's quite the odd theory. :P having a hard time picturing a cd-drive analyzing the data... [19:18] nickrud, I know that. I'm trying to make /etc/network/interfaces connect automatically, without having to use the gui. I want this computer to run headless, soo :p [19:18] which handles how the data is written [19:19] nickrud, it connects to my LAN fine, so this other computer i'm using right now can ssh to it immediately :S [19:20] Clinteger, I set this up once, I used /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.Debian.gz as a guide; I also used some of the other docs in that dir [19:20] godzirra: did you change anything? odd that it would just stop working like that [19:20] also, have you ever noticed that when you burn cd's at fast speeds some players won't read them... [19:20] ok, the new box got a clean bill of health from chkrootkit, now I want to play, I've enabled Remote Desktop on both boxes, but I've forgotten the syntax to connect? [19:20] nickrud, but I'm using it with an unprotected wireless networkk. [19:21] is there a way of getting msn to work with ubuntu [19:21] Clinteger, Doesn't Network Manager handle auto-connecting per default? [19:21] desktop [19:21] NativeAngels, Check out Pidgin. [19:21] I'm using the Xfixes extension to pull information about the currently displayed cursor. When using a GNOME session in Ubuntu- it reports the width/height of the cursor being 1x1. [19:21] burkmat, it does, but only on login. i want to use this computer headlessly [19:21] hey guys, trying to install mysql server, and configure asks for a root password, then tries to start mysqld and fails. (no logs in /var/log/messages) any suggestions? I now get that configure prompt every time I apt-get install something [19:21] Does Ubuntu do some fancy idependent cursor rendering? Or GNOME in general? === zkinion is now known as thebleh [19:22] You are a god! Thanks sooo much for your help! [19:22] Clinteger, Aah... Hmm. How does nm-applet react if you simply run it at boot? It doesn't connect? [19:22] so msn messnger wont work with ubuntu desktop [19:22] Clinteger, ah. I also read man wireless , has some instructions along those lines iirc [19:22] ciao [19:22] NativeAngels: you could try amsn [19:22] hm. [19:22] nativeangles, the alternatives are better [19:22] amsn is what i use [19:22] ok [19:22] oh brb im gonna try just using dhcp as network manager was [19:22] NativeAngels, The program "MSN Messenger" could be run with Wine, but Pidgin, aMSN, there are tons of choices that are like MSN Messenger but OpenSource. [19:24] #vascello [19:25] I just installed ubuntu on a rather ancient laptop, a p200 with 96 megs of ram. Once I switched from gnome to blackbox it's working pretty well, but i have one problem. [19:25] the wireless card is detected and works if I manually run dhclient [19:26] i have sound blaster live card. i just installed intrepid. sound card supports 5.1 sound but alsamixer only shows one output. plus you can hear microphone output from speakers.... help? [19:26] but I can't find it in my network manager window and this is my first time with ubuntu so I'm not sure how to make it show up [19:26] Hello folks: how can I connect a pc to my laptop via crossover cable for maintenance and keep on browsing Internet wit my wifi? (different IP networks) [19:26] bryguy_, It's detected but doesn't show up in the network manager? [19:27] by detected i mean it shows up when I run iwconfig [19:27] it shows up as eth1 [19:27] hbit, If you want to get your traffic out through a specific device you can always set the routes manually. [19:27] to do the install I had a pcmcia ethernet card installed, which was presumably eth0 [19:27] when I look in the network connections window from the network manager applet, there's no card listed. [19:27] bryguy_, ...huh, well I've never come across the issue that it shows up in iwconfig but not nm-applet... I'll check around, but right now I have no idea what might cause that. [19:28] in fedora I would have run system-config-network to let NM manage it [19:28] is there an equivalent ubuntu command? or is NM it? [19:28] how can I tell which repository a package came from? (cli preferred) [19:28] bryguy_, nm-applet should handle it all automatically... [19:29] burkmat: Thanx, I've tried adding the route with route -net x.x.x.myrouters_network netmask x.x.x.x gw mynic.address but it complaints [19:30] it's an older 802.11b card for what it's worth [19:30] bryguy_, Is the interface up? [19:30] hey guys, trying to install mysql server, and configure asks for a root password, then tries to start mysqld and fails. (no logs in /var/log/messages) any suggestions on how to fix? I now get that configure prompt every time I apt-get install something [19:30] balleyne: apt-cache policy packagename [19:30] Pici: thanks [19:30] hbit, Well, i'm not sure about the proper syntax, but I always run `route add default gw netmask ` and it works. :) [19:31] I am guessing there's no config file for eth1, when I run ifup eth1 I get "Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1 [19:31] ub2my, Have you tried reinstalling? [19:31] do I maybe need to make an interface config file manually? [19:31] burkmat, yes, I still get the same configure prompt each time [19:31] bryguy_, `ifconfig eth1 up` should work? [19:32] Apologies in advance for the spam. [19:32] LOL OMG!!!! Does anyone know how to make my trackpad (laptop mouse pad) stop stealing focus when I'm typing? It keeps erasing everything I type === MrObvious2 is now known as MrObvious [19:32] ub2my, Sorry, I have no idea how you could fix that... Sounds like a really strange issue. [19:33] well it didn't give an error of any kind when I did ifconfig eth1 up [19:33] bryguy_, What does nm-applet say? [19:33] still doesn't seem to see it [19:34] burkmat: Ok thx I'll give it a go on the syntax [19:34] I can't even install the dang thing: Package mysql-server is not installed, so not removed, then it prompts me for the mysql root password, AGAIN [19:34] bryguy_, hmm... try `sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart` - Might help. [19:34] Wohooo!!! after over a year of fighting with these bloody systems, I have a result... hplip guys [19:34] have pulled through :) [19:34] ub2my, What happens if you just toss is a random password? [19:35] burkmat, the dialog goes away, it says stopping mysql, [ok], starting mysql [fail] then the apt-get errors out [19:35] Anyone have a wiki platform that they would recomend for a small office? [19:36] hello, im updating from ubuntu server 6 to 8.04 and i keep getting this error, (Reading database ... dpkg: error processing xfonts-scalable (--remove):, anyone have any suggestions how to fix it? [19:36] jdnwest: the standard-wiki "mediawiki" [19:36] mediawiki is good but picky about its platform and a pain to setup [19:36] !synaptics [19:36] didn't make a difference- I also tried restarting NetworkManager to no avail [19:36] For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [19:36] ub2my, Huh... And this isn't just mysql installs, it's anytime you use apt-get?

[19:37] pmwiki is a lot simpler than mediawiki, easier to setup probably [19:37] oh lmao [19:37] nickrud, I got it working :D I forgot the gateway line :p [19:37] ub2my, Huh... Looks like it's dkpg's fault, but still... Wonder how to get rid of it. :/ Let me poke around a bit. [19:38] bryguy_, Well, if you've enabled Wireless in nm-applet I don't really have any clue what else could help... Quite the odd issue you've got there. [19:38] bryguy_, Anyways, good luck. Once you get it resolved I'd love to hear how. :) [19:38] anyone, ive beating my head against this xfonts problem for hours :( [19:39] DIFH-iceroot: mediawiki is great for me, but i need somthing that requires no training (What you see is what you get) [19:39] ub2my, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=736419 ! Check that out! [19:39] does ubuntu have something like sysconfig where the interfaces are configured? [19:39] ub2my, in /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.0.postinst , place the command exit 0 on the line following set -e ; run sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-5.0 && sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0 [19:40] thanks Orgazmo , fosco__ ;) [19:40] all I see is /etc/network/interfaces, which lists eth0 as the primary connection; the only network interface I have right now is eth1 (wireless card) [19:41] I'm thinking maybe there's a disconnect where it's expecting eth0 and ignoring eth1 when it doesn't find eth0 (which was a pcmcia card I've since removed) [19:41] bryguy_, normally wireless in the desktop is done by NetworkManger and the nm-applet in the notification area; if it's defined in /etc/network/interfaces NetworkManager will not handle that interface at all === OSste_MiaM is now known as OSste [19:42] nickrud, which line is that? [19:42] i don't think there is a way to easily configure your nic card automagically from CLI unless it has been done with network manager previously [19:42] nickrud, there are several set -e lines [19:43] ub2my, more than 1? ? after the first. The rest won't be seen [19:43] burkmat, using that link I tried force/purge and get: dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove mysql-server which isn't installed.

[20:06] B10S: Remove? You don't normally need to remove packages when you update them. Look on the awstats website at their changelog if you think that there may be a compatibility change between versions that may impact stats if you want.

I should have directed it [20:08] Jfdzar: install it [20:08] don't have it installed [20:09] daxroc: how??? :S [20:09] is an upgrade to 8.10 recommended? I've read that 8.10 is infact much slower than 8.04, can anyone confirm or disprove this? [20:09] Jfdzar: can you bin the output of lspci please [20:09] I messed something up. My mouse doesn't work now... O_________O [20:09] The fonts of kde apps are much to large. How can i change that? [20:09] can anyone tell me why my system occasionally freezes?

[20:09] daxroc: give me one minute [20:09] I checked dmesg and udev is renaming my wireless card from eth0 to eth1, this might explain part of my problem where network manager isn't seeing my wireless card [20:10] does anyone know why my crystal eye webcam WORKS with V4l2 but not with V4l, but if I am not mistaken cheese also uses V4l2 as does XSANE and luvcview. but the latter programs either fail to load video, or crash my whole system. how can i get the cam to work in cheese? [20:10] monkey2, I moved to 8.10 from 8.04, I prefer it tbh, the only downside is that its not lts [20:10] I actually have not tried 8.10 myself but I usually like using LTS releases like 8.04 because they tend to be more stable [20:10] C-S-B: did you upgrade or do a fresh install? [20:10] digitalhighway: go to 127.0.0.1:631 in your web browser [20:11] digitalhighway, what kind of printer is it? [20:11] lexmark [20:11] i forgot to say the program that works is ekiga [20:11] ub2my, is your loopback interface down for some reason? ifconfig in a terminal should have a stanza regarding lo [20:11] ooo you got me on that one. I never had luck with lexmark [20:11] Van: i own a lexmark printer [20:12] lol [20:12] Can anyone point me to a simple guide to help me figure out why my Dell Inspirion 600m with Radeon Mobility 9000 chipset won't do 1400x1050?

Stores will always try to argue about something. [20:13] asdg [20:13] nickrud, this is a vps (virtual private server) though, not sure if that matters [20:13] I'm having trouble with vncviewer, anybody familiar with getting it going? [20:14] ub2my, ok, try sudo apt-get reinstall libmysql* , then run the server install again. And I'm not sure; wouldn't think a vps should make a difference. [20:14] Whoa what the...?! Last night I was running transmission, and had a ratio of 11. Today get up and turn on my laptop and I'ts 0.39 what giives xD [20:14] Digital, here is a link to a post on the ubuntu forums for the linux lexmark driver kit http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=605607 [20:15] Ratio goblins, lifestream.

[20:20] Cpudan80: well, i think people who using kubuntu can just run systemsettings. But i am only using a few kde apps and when i run systemsettings the font section is missing. [20:20] iḿ trying [20:20] anyone know where the default java_home is set? ant keeps looking at the wrong version (the java_home environment variable is not set) [20:20] and just select yes when it asks if you would like to extract the firmware now [20:20] nickrud, re-installed, didn't work [20:21] it's installed in its recent version [20:21] tuxflavrdwafls: try "cheese" [20:21] hmm did you check the network manager applet at the top right to see if its picking up any signals/networks? === roo__ is now known as rubles === rubles is now known as roo82 [20:22] it doesn't recognize the card [20:22] is anyone using onTV?? i'm new to ubuntu and do not know how to install it =( [20:22] w8!

Try verifying that /etc/mysql doesn't exist after the purge, as well as /var/lib/mysql I guess. === caffeinefreak is now known as roo82 [20:23] Hi - is there a way to force newly created files to inherit its parent directory's permissions? [20:23] yeaaaah [20:23] good :) [20:23] Vansolrick: Thankyou very much [20:24] tuxflavrdwafls: "camorama" then... [20:24] hi guys, i'm looking for a solution to backup files withint changing any permissions [20:24] I'd like to copy a whole folder (/var/www/html) to a windows share everynight [20:24] any ideas? [20:24] Ethos: Thats what the -a switch of cp is for [20:24] Jfdzar_, You're welcome [20:24] my home partition is 274Gbyte, with only 260 available... but there are just 192Mbyte used space... what could be wrong there??? [20:24] where is the default path set in ubuntu? [20:25] -a, thanks [20:25] How do I get 3g-internet in ubuntu with a iCON 225 adapter? [20:25] Ethos: Although since a Windows share, permissions changing/preserving of any kind is sort of useless anyhow [20:25] korney, /etc/environment [20:25] nickrud, ty [20:25] genii: can you explain some more? [20:25] it's my first ubuntu server and I need it to backup our intranet running it it nightly :) [20:26] Ethos: The windows filesystems like fat,vfat,ntfs don't have same permisssions system as linux filestsyems [20:26] ah ok [20:26] Yeah, I knew that- not quite sure how I assume it'd keep the permissions :) [20:26] Have any of you ability to explain how I may convince Rosegarden to work properly in Ubuntu Studio 8.10? [20:26] Ethos, you'd want to create an archive first, then copy the archive over (tar is useful for that) [20:26] would that be realistic to do nightly? [20:27] Ethos: You could tar up with permissions preserved, untar back after for restoring [20:27] BattleStarJesus: does it work in ubuntu 8.10? [20:27] Ethos, very. tar does stand for Tape ARchive ;) [20:27] lol [20:27] ;0 [20:27] Making myself sound thicker by the minute [20:27] <_VIM_> what's a good GUI SVN app that's free/easy to use for noobs? [20:27] thiebaude1: yes [20:27] nickrud, i made a change to that file adding a path. is there something i need to do to get it load in new xterms? it's not working [20:27] _VIM_: qsvn [20:28] hi I keep getting a red exclamation and this:not all updates completed successfully [20:28] so I could tar it up, then cp it over to windows? [20:28] _VIM_: but you have to buuild from source [20:28] how would I schedule this with no gui [20:28] PLEASE someone tell me how to turn my laptop fan. it's *overheating* ! [20:28] <_VIM_> DIFH-iceroot: ok ty :) [20:28] BattleStarJesus: did you install studio over ubuntu 8.10? [20:28] _VIM_, there're several I use(d), rapidsvn, svn-workbench, and one I can't remember [20:28] thiebaude1: I have it installed on 2 machines, in one I cant figure out how to rout it through jack and the other it is looking for realtime access to the kernel [20:28] BattleStarJesus: i wish i knew the answer, [20:28] _VIM_ ah, subcommander . [20:29] korney, not off the top of my head. [20:29] thiebaude1: I have a fresh install of Ubuntu studio 8.10 and it is complaining about real time access. [20:29] <_VIM_> nickrud: thanks === winston is now known as Guest58513 [20:30] Anyone else know how to convince Rosegarden to work on Ubuntu Studio 8.10 [20:30] nickrud: / genii any articles you guys know of so I can learn what I need? :) [20:30] anyone knows if GNU tar is broken? [20:30] BattleStarJesus: what is rosegarden, anyway? [20:30] anybody know why ctrl + T in firefox doesnt open a new tab? [20:30] <_VIM_> there was one gui svn toy i had where i could drag a file/folder into the GUI and it would add it to the project, but I can't for the likes of me remember the name of the app now :/ [20:31] thiebaude1: http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/ [20:31] ok [20:31] W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 [20:31] Ethos: Sorry for lag, got distracted elsewhere. Yes, idea would be to tar it up then cp the tarfile over to windows box... reverse process to restore stuff === LuCaS_o_O is now known as LuCaS_U_U [20:31] ah ok, sounds easy enough [20:32] I'm fairly new to linux, so I guess I can do this fairly easily from the terminal [20:32] what do I need to look into for "scheduling" it nightly? [20:32] hello [20:32] bueller? [20:32] Ethos: unison [20:32] .chillnet.org [20:32] adaptr: thanks, i'll take a look [20:33] :) [20:33] oooh, it sounds good ;) [20:33] anyoone know how to force laptop fan to go on [20:33] Ethos: I don't know how it behaves between Linux and Windows, but it runs on both [20:33] thiebaude1: I was stoked about installing Ubuntu Studio thinking it would be part of the package, but it is not. I hade to install it seperate and it dosen't work. What a load. Big dissapointment, but not as big of a dissapointment when I found out that Ubuntu Studio also does not install network manager. [20:33] yeah, i'll look into it [20:34] BattleStarJesus: i had studio a few days ago then i went back to ubuntu 8.10 [20:34] my laptop can't use gdm because it's too slow, how do I manually choose to use say blackbox instead of gnome? [20:34] i want to pipe the output of "rhythmbox -d" to a file. how do i do that? [20:35] thiebaude1: My critique, Ubuntu Studio is no more than a glossy magazine full of fluff. There is no hearty substance to it. [20:35] hummesse: rhythmbox -d > ~/debug [20:35] hehe simple... thanks [20:35] bryguy_: make an .xinitrc with blackbox [20:35] thiebaude1: Studio community is weak. [20:36] BattleStarJesus: is rosegarden available in ubuntu 8.10? === ubuntu_ is now known as regis [20:36] resierfs vs ext3? Which do you think is better and why? [20:36] BattleStarJesus: All the packages available in Ubuntu Studio are in the Ubuntu repositories and installable in Ubuntu. [20:36] !best | monkey2 [20:36] monkey2: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [20:36] bryguy_: in your $HOME [20:36] Yeah on my other machine it works just fine except I cant seem to get jack to work right [20:37] monkey2 ext3 cause reiser was a nut job :) [20:37] imri303: +1 [20:37] Hi guys. I'm experiencing difficulty. I have a bcm4318 air force wireless nic in a laptop with no ethernet connection, and I need the firmware for a Xubuntu. I found the necessary firmware and got it to the laptop via a dvd, but I'm still getting the scios file not found error or whatever it is. [20:37] Pici: sorry about that. [20:38] Pici: What is the point of Ubuntu Studio if it is so lame? [20:38] Anyone have any ideas? [20:38] BattleStarJesus: It includes those packages by default. [20:38] thiebaude1: Yes. [20:39] olethrios: looked at ndis? [20:39] No windows :/ [20:39] Pici: do you have any insight into who maintains it? [20:39] ndiswrapper is a wrapper for windows drivers under linux. [20:40] Wait, I can get the windows driver for it without windows, can't I? [20:40] olethri0s, yes [20:40] if you have a windows driver, maybe it can be run with ndiwrapper under linux [20:40] alright sweet. I'll try that in a couple of minutes. Good idea.. thanks guys [20:40] Mornin' y'all [20:40] olethri0s, theres plenty of places online that will allow you to download drivers for free, -- usually try the manufacturers website [20:40] ugly i know... but sometimes.. :-) [20:40] olethri0s I ahve had some luck getting native linux drivers from broadcom [20:40] BattleStarJesus: #ubuntustudio-devel and https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel, along with the rest of the devs [20:41] Before I go talking out of my ass on a mailing list, do people continue to provide backports as we get closer to the next version, or do they fall off? [20:42] Alright.. I haven't looked for native drivers from Broadcom either because I figured they wouldn't have them. So I'll look for those first and then do ndiswrapper. [20:42] burkmat: I solved the problem of the missing wireless card, udev had a rule that automatically renamed the device from eth0 to eth1, but network manager was still looking for eth0. Once I changed the rule to look for eth0 everything worked perfectly. [20:42] bryguy_, Nice job. Had no idea nm-app stopped looking, good to know. ;) [20:43] Please can someone tell me how to force my laptop fan on? [20:43] hope it helps someone else [20:43] bbl [20:43] Question, How to edit qt/kde themes from gnome? === linuxway is now known as [gryffindor] [20:44] great, now I get another error: * /etc/init.d/mysql: WARNING: /etc/mysql/my.cnf cannot be read.

[20:45] should mysql-server contain the default config file? I've also got mysql-common installed [20:45] nope [20:45] this is clean install, no databases or anything [20:45] Also, I don't know anything about ndiswrapper, but if I download the deb(s) that I'll need on a desktop and then transfer it via a dvd, will that hurt anything or compromise functionality? [20:46] ub2my, reinstall the -common to get my.conf [20:46] olethri0s, shouldnt do, [20:46] ub2my, crap. I'm half at work and half here, you should stop listening to me ;) [20:46] nickrud, I tried, doesn't get replaced. I'm doing apt-get install --reinstall mysql-common [20:46] Sweet. I'll perhaps look into it a little more before I actually do it. [20:46] olethrios: should function correctly.. have done it myself [20:47] isn't it just all the files bundled into a package? [20:47] hey why does the ubuntu desktop theme show a human with a empty head ?

[20:47] with an install script, not disimilar to a MSI [20:48] oletrhi0s: there was an article on the linux journal about 1,5-2 year back on ndiswrapper [20:48] anyone? [20:49] something is wrong, dpkg -L mysql-common shows it has my.cnf [20:49] but the filesystem doesn't show it [20:49] ArcSighter, I don't know enough about it all, could you not get grub to boot off a floppy and load from there?

I'm assuming that I will have to enter a command line to set it. I have the "preferred app" open, but I'm not sure what command line to run. Is anyone familiar and able to help? [20:52] MamboKurt: must be enabled in kernel and an entry in /etc/fstab [20:52] RatPackSopra-: preferences for WHAT ? [20:52] RatPackSopra-, you can change it under default programs [20:53] MamboKurt: something along the lines of "tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0" [20:53] easytarget: how do i find out if its enabled in the kernel? and which entry i have to add to fstab to get in running if its enabled? [20:53] is there a way to have apt-get show the files it's touching during an install? I tried -V [20:53] RatPackSopra-: right-click file of desired type, select properties, switch to open with tab, select program, close properties. [20:53] MamboKurt -> what exactly are you looking for? [20:53] any one have experience with the ati 9200 series s-video ? [20:54] C-S-B, ah, so I didn;t need to go thru Preferred applications then? [20:54] I can't seem to find how to activate my tv [20:54] Anyone here managed to get hdmi audio on the Vaio AR range? [20:54] Hello. Quick question - I currently have Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn. I would like to update to 8.10. I've tried sudo apt-get install update-core-manager but I get a list of "failed to fetch" errors - obviously due to end of support. is there anyway i can upgrade from bash, or do i have to go to System>Administration>Software Sources [20:54] n8tuserf: new ati drivers out. hp says shared memory must be enabled. dont know if i just didnt see it befor or if its new. [20:55] RatPackSopra-, theres a couple of places to change it, easiest is probably what was said above and changing it in properties on your right click [20:55] MamboKurt -> have you used ipcs command? [20:55] MamboKurt: kernel depends.. I use "make menuconfig" in the kernel source to look from terminal prompt. Ther are other configuration programs for xwindows though [20:55] C-S-B, what a V-8 Moment ...LOL [20:55] BLUSH [20:55] ok, how I install grub to a diskette to boot from a usb drive? [20:56] embarrassed to admit it was so simple ...I forget how simple things usually are in Ubuntu [20:56] n8tuserf: what does ipcs? [20:56] easytarget -> umm /dev/shm is not for shared memory, its for temporary file system mount point [20:56] MamboKurt -> kindly man ipcs [20:56] ArcSighter, have you tried updating the bios to boot usb? [20:57] MamboKurt: n8tuserf is right.. sorry. My mistake [20:57] hey if someone try to kill you by burn you down with a Molotov cocktail and the police think they have there man but can't get the guy yo confess. do you think the police would give you the name of the perpetrator ? [20:57] before over complicating things. I've not done what I guessed might be done so i don't wish to confuse. [20:57] C-S-B: I want to run it from diskette [20:57] Anyone? Can't seem to upgrade feisty fawn from bash sudo apt-get install update-core-manager. Any way of doing this? [20:57] n8tuserf: ok. every single line says "destroyed". seems to not that good. /dev/shm does exist [20:57] ArcSighter, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/use-a-floppy-to-boot-usb-pendrive-linux/ [20:58] Hi folks [20:58] MamboKurt: but is still needs to be enabled in kernel [20:58] ooo-er... anyone had a problem with playing music in amarok and then switching to a console ctrl+alt+f1... everything is fine... then switch to the second console ctrl+alt+f2 and audio stops... then go back to first console and it resumes? [20:58] how do i make mounted drives not shut up on the desktop [20:58] easytarget: is it enabled by default in ibex? [20:58] hi [20:58] I want to partition an external hard drive, but I'm scared because I don't know anything about them. Shall I just pretend it's an internal one? Do I need to know anything about external ones before I go ahead? [20:59] C-S-B: I'll check, thanks [20:59] is there a way to move multiple directories at once? [20:59] Sorry; I would do my homework about it usually, but I'm in a real hurry. [20:59] Hello again, everytime i try to open a dvd in the default movie player the system crashes. any thoughts? [20:59] person, use gparted, it's safe and can do any partioning you could think of without killing any data [20:59] is it listening for keyboard events while on the linux console? [20:59] MamboKurt: no idea. [21:00] C-S-B: I've had GParted screw up on me horribly before. [21:00] easytarget: thanks. so i will digg through that crap. [21:00] C-S-B: Are they different in any way in terms of how the partition editor will treat them? [21:00] MamboKurt: good luck ;-) [21:01] gparted is different to fdisk [21:01] is there a way to move multiple directories at once? [21:01] C-S-B: I know [21:01] easytarget: yeah ... thanks :) [21:01] C-S-B; I'm asking if it will make any difference using an external hard drive as opposed tointernal hard drive [21:02] dearly gparted, we are gathered here today. To mourn over the lack of partitions on this disk. He was a great disk, supported three lovely partitions and was a great husband to his now widowed mbr [21:03] lol [21:03] peqqqq [21:03] person, treat the external like the internal [21:03] Thanks C-S-B [21:04] somebody....anybody.

[21:04] Hey guys, new to ubuntu, having an issue with sound...any one up to helping?

[21:05] freeflowcauvery: you're not supposed to be able to upgrade FF to 8.04 [21:05] freeflowcauvery: you have to go through Gutsy (7.10) first [21:05] freeflowcauvery: by editing the sources.list [21:06] freeflowcauvery: in text editor [21:06] hey guys.. for some reason on the last several version /system/preferences/power management when I set "put_display to sleep when inactive for " "never" it still shuts off any way to insure this doesnt happen?

[21:14] sebsebseb: so what to do? [21:14] sint: downgrade to Hardy [21:14] sint: well that's not really a downgrade as such, since it's long term suppourt [21:14] sebsebseb: what?! :( [21:15] sint: no suppourt for older graphics cards in Ibex with that xorg version [21:15] how do i add win7 to grub menu ??

[21:16] sint: ah yes [21:16] sint: you can't just downgrade that's true, ,but you can do a clean install and put hardy on [21:17] Note: it was probably a bad idea to not have /home and / on two separate partitions...but it's a raid with terabytes of data, and without some major physical injury, it would be hard to change :) [21:17] sebsebseb: ya, but sadly i won't do it. i think i will stick with nv then, even when it sucks [21:17] Guys I'm having an issue with sound...anyone able to help?

[21:21] Hello Guys, I have another issue and this one IS a real issue. My Dell Latitude D620 laptop runs Ubuntu 8.10 beautifully except for one thing. After it has been up for a couple of days the audio will "hang up" (that's what it sounds like at least.) It will have a vibrating chatter and the only thing that will stop it is a reboot. I've heard it said that there are some issues with with Pulse Audio and Ubuntu, but I have No [21:21] knowledge of the situation. Could it be that simple or might it be something else? By the way it JUST happened and that's what brought me here. [21:22] RatPackSopra-: try restarting alsa or pulse or hal instead [21:22] ActionParsnip1, how do I go about that? [21:22] RatPackSopra-: if you are using pulse, try switching to alsa [21:22] gotcha [21:22] RatPackSopra-: sudo /etc/init.d/ restart [21:23] <_VIM_> daneng: have you tried Konversation yet? [21:23] _VIM_: ya, i had tutorial which told me that the default driver is nv [21:24] _VIM: no i just removed the gnome gui and using the original gui, it seems that it works now, so maybe a bug in the gnome gui? i'm downloading via xdcc [21:24] <_VIM_> xdcc?

I have no idea what to do, please help. thankyou [21:38] usser, the other thing we would need to know is whether you're using a barely-modified ubuntu config :-> it's highly dependent upon your hardware AND your kernel config, really [21:38] let's just take a wild stab and say 30 min. for a kernel build. [21:38] Ubuntu Studio is is weak, almost useless. I offered to help the project but developers are jerks., leading me believe the project is gravely flawed. Hopefully I am wrong. [21:39] regeya, I see. well, hm... just trying to build my first kernel. i barely modified vanilla kernel config, just remove support for hardware i dont have an compiled in the drivers that i do [21:39] BattleStarJesus, maybe they'd only accept help from a basestar. [21:39] I had a slackware machine years ago running Slack, was a 486 with aa whole whopping 8MB of RAM. took most of a day to build v2.0.36 [21:39] will ubuntu shutdown automatically if the system overheats ? [21:40] how can i make a altered version of ubuntu and then make a live cd from it?? [21:40] regeya, ubuntu determines what modules to load on startup right, so if i compiled them in there isnt any config file anywhere that would tell it to load the modules, which are already in the kernel? [21:41] Argh! My repo downloads from us.archive.ubuntu.com start at about 8kb/s and end up at about 500b/s! Meanwhile, if I wget from my personal web server, I get 300Kb/s, so the issue isn't my connection.

The music I've ripped doesn't seem to play on my Ipod Nano [22:20] Hi All .. i am tired of getting lamp to work. Initially, I had xampp installed .. so after that, I installed lamp , seemingly there was conflicting. Now, I removed all packages and installed from synaptic or apt-get , it is not working. Earlier error was that browser was trying to open phtml file when I browser localhost .. now browser cant connect to localhost...even trying to start apache2 through terminal gives file errors.

[22:21] yy yesterday night [22:22] silentContender: in what way does it not play on the nano? how did you transfer it etc? [22:22] Maegllin, you right clicked on the speaker icon and open the mixer? PCM is not muted? [22:22] AlanJenkins, Never mind I don't even have faac. But anyways, how did I manage to convert the songs [22:22] but just to be more specific! i have sound when i'm using Amarok but i don't have any sound when using mozilla [22:22] AlanJenkins, the songs play fine on Amarok, but are simply displayed and skipped on the Ipod [22:22] also no sounds from amsn [22:22] what is a sure shot way to completely remove packages .. so that the folders it leaves behind do not conflict [22:23] so any ideas? [22:23] silentContender: not sure how you could have... unless you used gtkpod-aac which may have its own aac codec [22:23] what application of Ubuntu to convert mp3 to wav/audio file ? [22:23] jove: soundconverter is a good one [22:23] its in repos [22:24] +1 for sound converter [22:24] it works [22:24] .. [22:24] Maegllin, I had something similar happen a while back. I had onboard sound as well as a PCI sound card, and it had changed my default audio source. You might want to check that [22:24] alanjenkins, I don't sound converter in my ubuntu....how to run install on it ? [22:24] im trying to get my tv (s-video out) working on my radeon 9250(RV280).

Will let you know how it works [22:25] can anybody help me figure out why my windows won't boot up after i installed hardy? i think it might be the way GParted has set it up as a Mountpoint, since i CAN see the files from ubuntu that are in that partition and it DOES start loading but then becomes an Unmountable Boot Sector [22:25] jove: are you in ubuntu or kubunut? [22:25] silentContender: ok cool [22:25] also, running chkdsk doesn't work since it says there are too many unfixable errors... [22:25] Maegllin, come to think of it, I don't remember how to do that either. Lemme poke around [22:25] grr and my typos [22:25] Alanjenkins, I am in Ubuntu [22:25] kubuntu* [22:25] (windows xp) [22:25] hey i would like to know fully compatible ubuntu deritives. i am using crunchbang, and been wondering when jaunty is released if i could upgrade w/o problems, they use ubuntu resp. [22:26] jove: ok click System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager [22:26] Maegllin, system -> Administration -> Sound, and try the different options for each section there. [22:26] pnickedthumb: you might have right ! i can listen sound when using things only from my Logitech Speakerphone [22:26] Maegllin, sound preferences are all set to auto detect ? [22:26] Maegllin, scratch that [22:26] Maegllin: please be patient, wait some time then restate your question in *one* line (so it is easier to read and understand for "us") [22:26] Maegllin, it's system -> preferences -> sound [22:26] nope they are HDA intell Digital (ALSA) [22:26] jove: then after you have synaptic open click the search button and type in soundconverter [22:27] hi.. .where does OpenJDK put the development kit? [22:27] Maegllin: sorry, didn't want to interrupt [22:27] i've tried to play with options in sound but nothing happened ! [22:27] Maegllin, try setting them to auto [22:27] jove: then after you have found soundconverter click on it and click mark for installation [22:27] i've tried everything guys ! [22:27] jove: then right click on it and select everything in suggested packages [22:27] so what derititive should i use i wonder. [22:27] you have tried setting them all to auto? [22:27] no point to change smth in audio options [22:28] jove: then click apply [22:28] i can't find /usr/java/j2sdk because i'm using OpenJDK === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [22:28] i need to find the equivilent [22:28] btw till yesterday and since one week i had Intel HDA Digital (ALSA) and the sound was working perfect [22:29] oh! and smth you might know! i've ubuntu installed from Wubi [22:29] meoblast001: try "dpkg-query -L packagename" [22:30] You know, I've noticed something... everybody I know that has upgraded kernels in 8.10, they're flash sound support is knocked away. But if you do a fresh install, re-install flash, everything is fine. [22:30] pls guys if you know smth about this prob give a hand :P [22:30] What's his issue? [22:30] alucardromero, not I [22:31] 2.6.27-11-generic -- flash if fine [22:31] mrwes: That's the weird thing... most people don't have it.

[22:32] nah ! yesterday everything were good === fuzzor is now known as mcstinky [22:32] lol @ mcstinky [22:32] but after the updates smth gone bad >< [22:32] Maegllin, you try booting an earlier kernel? [22:32] in xubuntu, how do i get to any sort of network-setup dialog from the menus, or do i have to start digging in conf files? [22:32] silentContender: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3960752&postcount=8 [22:32] mrwes: woot? [22:32] does 8.10 come with gspca installed by default? [22:33] i had a catastrophic local network collapse and need to reconfigure everything as dhcp temporarily until the gateway machine can get a new NIC to replace the one that got blown up [22:33] Alenjenkins, Thx...it works [22:33] Maegllin, when you boot, hit the ESC key and choose the kernel before the one you're currently using [22:33] oh let me check then [22:33] brb [22:34] can anyone help me in setting up dual monitors with dual video cards? [22:34] mikewu, I'm lost. I'm trying to rip CD's and the thread deals with converting mp3 to m4a [22:34] Problem: At the boot up/loadbar progress screen, the bar that bounces back and forth, only moves about an inch. I then have to hold in space bar to keep it moving/booting. Once it gets to the solid progress bar, I can let go of the space bar, and it will keep loading on it's own. Any ideas? [22:34] mrwes: ok, another important thing I should've mentioned earlier. I did a raid 5 setup in ubuntu (/boot partition is not on the raid array), is there anything I have to do to enable raid before when booting? In 8.04 I didn't have to do anything special, don't know if that's changed for 8.10. What are your thoughts? [22:35] monkey2, I've never set up RAID [22:35] I don't know much about conversions, but... would razorlame help? [22:35] What is the latest version of ubuntu? [22:35] madmike, train a hamster to jump up and down on the spacebar ;) [22:35] silentContender, you can rip CD's with sound juicer [22:35] haha, MoLoot, I think my wife would support that one "oh it's sooo cute!!!" [22:35] silentContender: were't you trying to encode mp3 to m4a to play on your ipod? [22:36] madmike, If you don't touch the space bar for say... 2 minutes, does it eventually load? [22:36] silentContender, but IMHO, ABCDE is the best ripper-- but it's command line [22:36] pieces, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/dual-monitors-with-nvidia.html [22:36] ... gtg. this looks hopeless [22:36] mikewu, I was trying to rip CDs to mp3 or m4a for my Ipod. The mp3 and m4a don't play on the Ipod [22:36] MoLoot: Nope, I let it sit half an hour one time. It just hangs till I hold the space bar down. And If I let go, it stops until I hold it again [22:36] what config files am i 'allowed' to touch which won't completely screw up the computer configuration gui stuff? [22:36] LordNLptp, try asking in #xubuntu [22:36] ok [22:37] maDmike Wow... I'm not even sure where I'd start to look to fix THAT. [22:37] moloot: i know, this one has me perplexed [22:37] why is it, in skype, my video camera shows up with a bunch of green static and lines? though it works fin in ekiga [22:38] Veratyr9: maybe lack of light? [22:38] mrwes, Is there an alternative. I'm not that good with command line [22:38] help! [22:38] Veratyr9: skype's video support is pretty new and sketchy on linux [22:38] silentContender, sound juicer, it's the defect CD ripper for Ubuntu [22:38] madmike, have you tried the other bootloader? (ie gdm instead of kdm)? [22:38] er default [22:38] Hi [22:38] silentContender: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod [22:38] I have killed my kubunto yesterday. Now I cannot start x session anymore [22:38] kunbutnu [22:38] i've tried the kernel but nothing [22:38] moloot, how do I do that? [22:39] ubuntu_: how did you kill it [22:39] I was updating, then it told me there was an upgrade for xine, I upgraded and was told I have to restart kde and sine then I can#t enter anyomore, only konsole [22:39] I've used xrandr to turn my screen 90 degrees for my portrait monitor. However, the login screen is still at the default angle. How can I correct this? [22:39] Izinucs: this setup worked just fine on my last install. I stupidly tried getting an older cam to work, and messed up the drivers for the new camera by installing qc-usb. now it doesnt work, and i have no idea how to uninstall them [22:39] AlanJenkins, I tried that link. I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras awhile ago with no luck [22:39] for 8.10 is there anything you have to boot when your / partition is on a raid 5 (logical volume), /boot is not on on the raid. Raid was done when partitioning the drives in the installer. Thanks. [22:39] after today's updates, udevd is hogging the cpu% [22:39] madmike, Well... this could make it worse...

[22:42] moloot, so if I were to do this, I would just install the kdm package? should I remove gdm as well? is there anything I have to do to enable it? [22:42] Izinucs "login: Stopping NTP Startin NTP" there i add my user name and it asks for pw, and i can log into konsole, but not kde [22:42] as the time i've putted it for 1st time in my pc [22:43] ubuntu_: yep.. that's where you can type all that I listed. [22:43] madmike, when I went to install it, it asked me which one I'd like to use, and just picked kdm... ;) [22:43] can anyone help? [22:43] Izinucs: ok, I must write that down.

[23:18] "lspci | grep VGA" gives me [23:18] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 03) [23:18] Can anybody help me? I cannot login into kubuntu anymore. only konsole [23:18] BCM43: Pretty much. I'm under Wubi, though. [23:18] whacked: that is /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:18] whacked gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:19] under terminal right type gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:19] any ideas on how to fix this? alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: No such file or directory [23:19] ok it worked this time sorry guys [23:20] !bugs | trendy [23:20] trendy: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [23:20] BCM43: What I'm really looking to avoid is reporting a known bug. If I can find a known bug, I'll just piggy back on that report. Otherwise, I can file a new one. [23:20] When I watch videos on my webcam, they come out green and ghosted. Do I need a certain driver, or can a setting in Linux fix this? [23:21] trendy: search with google, but you need to be more specific than that [23:21] 32 vs 64 bit ubuntu: if my comp (c2d) supports 64-bit, any reason not to use it? [23:21] raven_: not as stable [23:21] sorry for be sarcastic guys [23:21] BCM43: Ok, if it's not an issue you are familiar with here, then it's probably worth reporting. [23:21] How can I disable the bold black system messages from appearing in this IRC? [23:21] raven_: there might be a few issues, with say Java Firefox Flash plugin, but otherwise should be alright [23:21] i just pasted info [23:22] raven_: 64bit is better than 32bit [23:22] can you compile ordinary linux apps from source on 64-bit linux? [23:22] trendy: true, if it is a double, then they will tell you, nothing lost [23:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/120779/ [23:22] VicTheHunter - v4l2ucp lets you adjust webcam settings, but i guess, it is not the solution, you would need. [23:22] raven_: sure, and you can even run 32bit programs on it [23:22] sebsebseb, ah then there's no good reason for me not to use it... wine works too i assume? [23:22] raven_: yes [23:22] cool [23:22] can always reinstall if it doesnt work out [23:22] thanks [23:22] hmw: is v4l2ucp a package I can install? [23:23] raven_: how much RAM? === xun is now known as Guest69264 [23:23] VicTheHunter yea [23:23] trying to install ubuntu onto a laptop with an external monitor. I can see it all just fine when the installation starts from CD, but then it shuts off the monitor and I can't see what's going on. Help? [23:23] What is the best BT client to use with ubuntu? (in your oppinions) [23:23] tlacaelel - do you have a nvidia? [23:23] hmw: thanks, I'll install it now [23:23] tlacaelel: try the alt cd. [23:23] hey if i had vi running on an ssh session that got disconnected when my client crashed, how can i reconnect to that vi session after i've reconnected? [23:24] !best | JudauVidan [23:24] JudauVidan: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [23:24] hello, I've accidentally associated a device to the wrong program "on plugged in", how can I disassociate it so it doesn't load the program & crash when I plug it in? thank you! [23:24] whacked, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/120772/ for windows compare with yours and add you windos info to menu.1st [23:24] how can i use dd to back up just the files on my external harddrive. change the formate of this drive (say hfs+ to hfs) then use dd to copy the files back onto the newly formated drive) [23:24] i can do the formating y self, but not sure how to copy just the files using dd [23:24] JudauVidan: Ktorrent [23:24] sebsebseb, 3GB [23:24] raven_: that's good [23:24] chaverma: only if you started a "screen" session before [23:24] raven_: ,but I think you might not really get any 64bit advantages unless you got 4GB RAM at least [23:24] whacked, you already know your windowws sda1 (hd0,0) info for grub [23:25] sebsebseb, im hoping to get faster compile speeds and possibly performance out of x86 emus via 64-bit [23:25] raven_: also there's a Adobe Flash for 64bit Linux that is meant to be better than the others, that you can get from site [23:25] guntbert: i think i actually had been running that in screen [23:25] raven_: if you want more speed well [23:25] raven_: Ext4 is an option in the next Ubuntu in April [23:25] is there a "better" application than aptoncd [23:25] freegoo - i think, you cant "just copy the files" with dd, because it is "disk dupe". you can make a backup with cp, i think you will want to use the -a switch, but do look up the man page yourself first [23:25] raven_: and you would have to do the partitions again for that so yeah [23:26] freegoo - with dd you can make complete copies of a partition, including empty sectors, though [23:26] raven_: maybe just keep 32bit Intrepid Ibex for now? you are on Intrepid? and then start over with Jaunty and use Ext4 [23:26] sebsebseb, i have no linux install atm [23:26] * AlanJenkins loves dd [23:26] sebsebseb, gonna need one to work with in the meantime anyway [23:26] raven_: oh so your on Windows? [23:26] how to enable EAX for creative audigy se? [23:26] chaverma: then you connect to the machine again and reattach the old session (screen -r I believe, but "man screen" tells you ) [23:26] sebsebseb, yeah, but not new to linux or anything [23:26] sebsebseb, been using it for years [23:26] q_: i think there is no eax in llinux [23:26] raven_: well you could try a few distros out inside WIndows in virtualbox [23:26] Anybody ever get an NX session where no keys or clicks work anymore? I can click on X top right for client but then ican't click disconnect or terminate just as I can't type or click anything. [23:27] honestly how is that going o help both menu list look so different [23:27] sebsebseb, not rly necessary :D [23:27] ?DCC SEND "ff???f?" 0 0 0 [23:27] :) [23:27] q_: there is no eax in linux unfortunately [23:27] whacked, add you windows info to it see http://paste.ubuntu.com/120772/ [23:27] wow -what was this mass logout?

[23:28] how to add windows info [23:28] hello #ubuntu [23:28] Is there any similar programs to aptoncd, that may be "better"?

[23:29] i typed in terminal gksudo gedit boot/grub/menu.lst, then i pasted all info to Ubuntupastebin [23:29] whacked, you only needed to add the windows info at the bottom of your file [23:29] it works, because when i do http://localhost/ -> it works [23:29] so i am not sure what you know want ? [23:30] char00les: dpkg-query -L apache2 should tell you [23:30] yes i am aware of that, that why i came here looking for help [23:30] Hey, I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 on a G4 PPC Mac, and my disc drive is always out.

Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [23:33] cool :-) [23:33] !spotify [23:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about spotify [23:33] eek.

[23:36] happyface_0: press only 1 time [23:36] don't repeat [23:37] RA1: I'd say ask in ##networking [23:37] grndslm: it's not lagging, it's just messed up somehow === Maxwell is now known as Maxwell` [23:37] happyface_0: delete all the gnome related config files [23:37] grndslm: this is using the live cd [23:37] that's the only way i know how to fix it [23:37] happyface_0: I don't want to know how long time that tolk to write =) [23:37] happyface_0 - does it happen, when you "click" with the keyboard shortcuts, too? === Maxwell is now known as Maxwell_Monterey [23:38] hah.... then, definitely click once. [23:38] keyboardz rule! [23:38] grndsl - console rules [23:38] hmw: yes, if I try to open the gnome-launcher I have to click alt+f2 until it responds [23:38] what i'd like to know is what is the difference between openbox, openstep, gnustep, & windowmaker [23:39] ok still dont know what to do with info you pasted [23:39] !ot | grndslm [23:39] grndslm: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[23:40] okay, I found a monitor and am in the middle of a PXE boot, Ive gotten the isntaller running [23:40] you missing info required to perform task [23:40] The outgoing/STMP server needs to be set to my internet service provider's address, how would i go about finding this and what is it? I'm setting up thunderbird... [23:40] happyface_0 - hmm... no idea. sounds like some program is working against you. do you have a keyboard/mouse-macro program in use, perhaps? [23:40] how is editing a list going to impact my pc [23:40] guntbert: gotcha [23:40] but whenever I pick a server to install from, I get a "server contains bad file" error [23:40] on every server [23:40] how cna this be ? [23:41] it like edit note pad and saving file it going to change the boot [23:41] whacked, you want to acces your windows right [23:41] hmw: no, this is using the live cd... it did strange thing with the ubuntu installer aswell...

[23:42] how do I get internet access in my chroot? [23:42] i have no idea how take and edit file then apply to terminal assuming that where the info eventually going to be placed [23:42] happyface_0 - this advise is just a generic one - try disabling onboard peripherals and pull out everything, you dont need to boot (soundcards, usb controllers, etc) and see, if the bug keeps appearing [23:42] galvanize: usually ISPs publish this sort of info on their web site [23:43] cant find an option in pidgin to start conference chat [23:43] you are assumming i know what to do with the edit file [23:43] does anyone know how to do that ? [23:43] whacked, download http://paste.ubuntu.com/120783/ save as menu.1st save previous as menus.1st-bck [23:43] guntbert: thanks, thats what i was thinking. thanks again. [23:44] galvanize: wasn't too much :) [23:44] hi people :) [23:44] hi, is there a "software source" which provides more up to date Wine packages, for Ubuntu? [23:44] ?DCC SEND "ff???f?" 0 0 0 [23:45] dash9: you might check with getdeb.net or just compile it. [23:45] thanks hmw [23:46] happyface_0 - i doubt it, but you could check the integrity of the live cd, too (its an option at boot time) [23:46] I've done that already thanks though hwm [23:46] ok i saved file [23:46] Yay! No more brown! [23:46] as menu.lst-bck [23:47] whacked, the past bin http://paste.ubuntu.com/120783/ is the new menus.1st [23:47] Why does alsamixer say card "PulseAudio" chip "PulseAudio"? I have one volume control and at full volume it's hardly audible. [23:47] yes i saved that file to my home folder [23:47] hello. i want to alter $PATH permanently as it is somewhat inconvenient. how do i do that with ubuntu? [23:48] as menu.lst-bck [23:48] whacked, it has to be in /boot/grub/menu.1st [23:48] is there a good gui for wireless networking, besides the newtork tab originally on ubuntu? [23:49] aprilhare - you could change the path in .bashrc or .bash-profile (your home dir). you will need to look up, how it is to be done properly, but i think its something like export PATH=$PATH;/new/path/here [23:49] and how to accomplish that ? [23:49] whacked, you need to be root so sudo /boot/grub/menu.1st [23:49] like i said 2 weeks on ubuntu [23:49] ney: i've always thought wicd was pretty good.... what problem are you having? [23:49] whacked, you are just really editing a text file [23:50] so i type sudo menu.lst.bck/boot/grub/menu.lst [23:50] oh wait, I'm trying the advanced install [23:50] thanks hmw [23:50] whacked, you are to use the pastbin file that i made you for your menu.1st [23:50] you mot providing all the steps sorry [23:51] your not telling me what to do with the file , sorry you think you are [23:51] <_VIM_> lol [23:51] alright, odd issue, on 8.10 you know how you hold down some keys like down in Firefox to make it scroll down continuosly, then in an editer you press backspace and it will backspace untill you lift off backspace, well it stopped doing that and im not really sure why, is there a menu I may have messed with that I did this? [23:51] so know you dont want me to save as menu.lst-bck anymore [23:52] whacked, whare is the pastebin file that i had made you [23:52] and what to save as [23:52] you mentioned once to save as menu.lst-bck \ [23:52] whacked, save it as newmenu1 [23:52] sorry you are not making sense [23:53] missing steps [23:53] whacked, your orfiginal file was the backup [23:53] whacked, the new pastebin file is the neew menus.1st [23:53] IndyGunFreak: well, i wanna make a ad hoc with a xp machine [23:53] menus.1st [23:54] okay, does anyone know how an install over the network works? [23:54] dash9: or here's a whild and crazy idea, add the wine repository to your source list, and install wine, then you'll update when the wine repo does i do believe [23:54] whacked, copy the pastebin file to /boot/grub/menu.1st [23:54] I keep getting stuck at the point where I need to pick a mirror [23:54] for the record i needed to alter /etc/bash.bashrc - works :) [23:54] bye all [23:54] i have no idea how to copy that info sorry [23:55] i having problem with the scanner [23:55] with the program xsane [23:55] whacked, what is the name of the pastebin file and where is it ??

[23:57] rrplay: souldn't that be menu.lst not menu.1st ??
