[01:19] <_VIM_> _niko: ok i think the config file needs to be /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf and you start it by /etc/init.d/openvpn start [01:19] hammar66: ok have you used the terminal at all yet? === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [01:19] request for help: added new repository, attempted to update bluez (was actually trying to install blueman). during the update a number of key gnome (and it looked like other) programs were deleted. now i can't boot to the gui [01:20] <`Matir> Is anyone having trouble connecting to security.ubuntu.com? [01:20] yes, if you mean the command line.. Ive been in it once [01:20] mrp because the new X has too much automagic built in. in most cases, you dont need to tweak your xorg.conf anymore. [01:20] hi everyone - I have problems getting into the startup of Ubuntu. I recently did a dual installation with windows and the problem is that my computer freezes when I try and get into Ubuntu. Help! [01:20] hammar66: maybe it's working, but you don't reolize [01:20] hammar66: what program did you try it with [01:20] ? [01:20] <_VIM_> _niko: from what i've read you have to add the '.conf' bit [01:20] `Matir i cant open that web page [01:20] hmw looking now brb [01:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/120795/ - experiencing problems with wii remote connectivity in 8.04.

[01:21] <_niko> _VIM_:The conf bit is already there [01:21] is anyone able to help? [01:22] mib_todbvjc7: maybe? with what? [01:22] <_VIM_> _niko: hmm ok im going by this guide: http://www.ventanazul.com/webzine/articles/openvpn-ubuntu-and-hulu [01:22] anyone know what would cause a screen to show up all wack when the GUI part of Ubuntu first starts up / shuts down? It's hard to describe what it looks like. It has lots of lines with some of the right colors that should be on the screen. It loads fine after a delay, but it's an anoyance that would be nice to fix. [01:22] hmw the page that opened was not in english [01:22] my computer can't even get into Ubuntu full stop [01:22] hmw: thanks :) [01:22] i installed it but it freezes when I boot into Ubuntu [01:22] I logged into GNOME while at a time when $HOME/Desktop was not available and it seems that the desktop now just shows files in $HOME. That's fine, except that $HOME/Desktop is now available but desktop still appears to be pointing to $HOME. Any ideas? [01:22] topdawg i know, just look at the command at the very bottom. look for the --purge stuff [01:22] mib_todbvjc7: how much RASM? [01:22] RAM [01:23] hmw this helped, thanks [01:23] ;) [01:23] I bought some RAM yesterday - I now have around 900 RAM [01:23] <_niko> _VIM_: I saw that fleeting before, It seems i might have the config in the right place, I will just try and start it up [01:23] I'm using a bcm43xx chip, and I've installed the firmware tool, and I extracted the fw files from what I think is the correct source, but ifconfig still spits the device not found error at me when I run sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [01:23] Anyone have any ideas? [01:23] kelmistat - cool. yw! [01:23] I'm saving the fw files in /lib/firmware/ is there perhaps somewhere else to put them? [01:24] how can i add two ip address on a lan connection coz my internet is 192.168.1.x and LAN is 192.168.0.x so i can connect in both [01:24] excuse me, is security.ubuntu.com down? [01:24] yes === mib_todbvjc7 is now known as Orudu [01:24] its been down for at least 20 mins for me [01:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/120795/ - experiencing problems with wii remote and bluetooth connectivity in 8.04. [01:25] mimaki: like setting a second IP on one NIC? e.g. ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.0.55 [01:25] yesterday too [01:25] hello everyone. [01:25] yes zsquareplusc [01:25] how do i find my mac address? [01:26] i typed ipconfig, it didnt work [01:26] Dexi: ifconfig will show it [01:26] command not found [01:26] Dexi - ifconfig [01:26] ooh if not ip one sec [01:27] hmw Removing fglrx-modaliases .. im assuming this is right? i also assume i have to reboot? [01:28] zsquareplusc how to add a second ip? [01:28] topdawg - i think you need to remove everything on that line, except for the sources. also the thing with ccc in it (catalyst control center) [01:28] mimaki: see above, the last was an example. you can also use the eth0:x naming in /etc/netowrking/interfaces and probably the netwok manager too [01:28] oh hi SquareHimself [01:29] topdawg - i didnt find the page, i wanted, yet. still looking. [01:29] make sure you rm -rf root [01:29] DigitalKiwi: Oh yeah! Forgot to do that today. Thank you :) [01:29] topdawg - this looks good: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver [01:29] * DigitalKiwi lalwed when you did that [01:30] zsquareplusc: thanks. HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx... that is? [01:30] Dexi: yes [01:30] where would i check if i just kernel panicked? is there a logfile with info [01:30] :) k. [01:30] scopecreep: dmesg | tail [01:30] thanks [01:30] hmw seems to be along the lines of the problem im having [01:31] need help with installing a package, got a dependency not satisfiable error:http://imagebin.ca/view/xTMmFl.html please tell me whats wrong... [01:31] http://imagebin.ca/view/xTMmFl.html [01:32] hlm, that means you need to find that package and install it [01:32] hey guys, i've had nothing but trouble with trying to run ubuntu. I put the CD in the drive and rebooted like i read, but the game didn't show up [01:32] what am i doing wrong? [01:32] nerdshark: Trolling. [01:32] h00k hlm - looks like you need to add some repository for nonfree stuff [01:32] :p [01:32] h00k, I have it installed [01:33] I have a question: I'm new to the whole linux thing. I'm booting from a live CD and whenever it finishes booting, I get a black screen with nothing on it [01:33] hmw, please explain, for I am a linux newbie [01:33] nerdshark: did you get a cracked copy? [01:33] Does anyone know a solution to this? [01:33] NeedzHelp: gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggunit [01:33] DigitalKiwi: i downloaded the torrent version [01:33] someone told me it was better than buying it [01:33] NeedzHelp, I also got that, I think its due to a video driver, I just ignored it and it installed fine [01:33] hmw: thx [01:34] nerdshark, try burning the disc at about 20x, faster can be trouble on some media [01:34] or about half your burners max speed [01:34] Alright [01:34] hlm: packages has that file (though you may find your self in dependency trolling) Ubuntu -- Package Search Results -- libxvidcore4 [01:34] i just waited 2 hours for a drive to format, and right at the end it fails with "ext2fs_mkdir: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while creating root dir" does this mean I shouldnt use the drive? [01:34] nerdshark: get the torrent from another site [01:34] i don't want it to burn slow, though [01:34] i want it to be as fast as possible [01:34] redvamp128, I have already installed it and since then restarted [01:34] * SquareHimself pacepalms [01:34] hlm - i would need to google for it, if i was to tell you exactly. in principle, you get your packages by the means of looking to repositories. many programs are already available out of the box, but some others are not contained in the "download servers" (repos) ... in certain cases, you need to tell your system, where else to look for packages. is your problem, that you want to watch divx or w32codec stuff, and it wont work? [01:34] nerdshark ... might be a dumb question but did you burn the disc image or just burn the iso onto a disc ? [01:34] * SquareHimself err... facepalms [01:34] hlm: I would also grab the -dev one also [01:35] I want to duelboot this computer but the ubuntu installer says there are no other partitions on the HDD. I used fdisk to veiw the partitions and they exist, and I have even mounted them. The installer just can't see them. [01:35] uhm, yeah [01:35] what burning program did you use? nerdshark [01:35] hlm: it could be that it ran out of room to say that is what it needed. [01:35] donavan_ and digitalkiwi: i burned it with nero [01:35] hmw, I am trying to install a psp video converter for linux [01:35] nerdshark, are you on m$ windoze? [01:36] redvamp128, I have about 16 gigs left on my hard drve [01:36] no, i'm on next [01:36] * DigitalKiwi bets he pirated it [01:36] cool, nero for next [01:36] DigitalKiwi: stop, please [01:36] nextstep x86 [01:36] nerdshark.... did you use the make disc from image option or did you create a data disc and just add the ISO to it ? [01:36] donavan_: the first one [01:36] I just found this in my auth.log Successful su for fwanalog by root. [01:36] hlm - uh... hm... sorry, no idea [01:36] what did I do :( [01:36] my azureus/vuze keeps making me restart it due to upgrading but apparently it's not upgrading, vicious cycle, load. restart, load, restart [01:36] any help? [01:36] imgburn is a free win app for burning, and about 1/50th the size of nero [01:36] hmw, thanks anyways [01:36] hlm: Not room on your hard drive but in the dependency -- for example it ran out of room to say libxvidcore4-dev (where it ran out of room to display the -dev) [01:36] i like nero though, it came with my burner so it was free. it also makes burning audio cds easy [01:37] Is it anything to worry about? I do have fwanalog installed, but why would it have used su? [01:37] redvamp128, I got ya now, thanks [01:37] in nero you want to be sure you are "writing an image file to disc" not just adding the iso to the cd [01:37] hlm: since it appears as though you are trying to install the xvid-dev (development) [01:37] nerdshark: nero is evil, proprietary software... use a FREE solution! [01:38] and you want to burn the disc slow because some cheap blank cd's get corrupted if they spin too fast [01:38] cedeel: he is FREE to use what he chooses [01:38] nerdshark... ok good deal ... just making sure ... cant tell you how many people I have run into over the years that would burn an ISO incorrectly... probably another dumb one but can you boot to the CD/DVD drive using other discs? [01:38] redvamp128, what is my best bet of fixing this, it has to be dev since I have the notdev version of it [01:38] gonna reboot BRB [01:38] the speed at which the disc is burned has no effect on the speed of the software itself [01:38] slower just means less chance for a transfer error === thepeon_ is now known as thepeon [01:38] donavan_: yeah, i've run mac os x on my system [01:39] jru [01:39] hey [01:39] anyone there?

Successful su for fwanalog by root, + ??? root:fwanalog [01:50] yanko - then its not one of the usual skype problems. check mixer settings (enable every slider and play around, maybe you need to use "capture" or "capture mircophone"), check if the mike is plugged in at the right place.

[02:19] egaudet - i dont know the 360, and how the menus look. Can you enter an IP address there, or does it only show, what computers it finds? if so, enabling nmb (or nmbd, netbios name resolition) might help [02:19] DPCP, try sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [02:19] I suppose the first one is for AMD processes? [02:19] DPCP, i dont have it so i dont know the exact command to restart/run it [02:19] it's the type of system, orudu [02:19] Orudu:first is for 64bit, second for 32 [02:19] Orudu, 64 bit and 32 bit [02:19] Orudu, yeah, for AMD 6e CPUs [02:19] hmw, it just "auto" finds your pc.. MS and their wonderful world of MS only [02:19] 64 bits ones [02:19] egaudet - most probably you just need to install the nmb [02:20] Orudu:the 64 bit installs on intel, too [02:20] ScUlHaMb4dO: Most 64 bit processors fit the AMD64 specification. [02:20] hmw, what is nmb? [02:20] how do you know if your computer is 64 or 32 bit? [02:20] usser: when I entered it it didn't do anything, like it didn't bring up an extra line etc, but yeah it's alright if you don't. [02:20] Orudu, are you using ubuntu right now?

I suppose it's the GUI interface so I'm getting the alternate download [02:21] Hello, Is there a way to disable the volume up/down OSD, it crashes here. I've seen people reporting this in other foruns, but no answer. [02:21] how do you add codecs to smplayer? ;/ [02:22] egaudet - right. i dont know exactly how the name is in ubuntu (dont have one here), find it in synaptic, look for "netbios" and "name resolution" (or similar) [02:22] egaudet - it should be sudo apt-get install nmb / or nmbd [02:23] egaudet - it also should come with samba [02:23] ScUlHaMb4dO: I would goto system- preferences- then keyboard shortcuts -- find the shortcuts for those keys and set them for nothing- the sound Volume-mute/down/up [02:23] hmw, ok i'll try that as well. thanks for the help [02:23] egaudet - i hope it works *g* tell me, when you know [02:24] d [02:24] ScUlHaMb4dO: I would also set everthing in the sound to nothing there.. that should disable the OSD for volume and keys for those things.

[03:08] mikewu, thanks [03:08] tensei, ya, got that, I need your sources.list [03:09] trepan_: a useful command to save yourself from hunting for libs if, for example, you're trying to build a newer version of a program than is in the repos is to use the apt-get build-dep command which will fetch all the build dependencies for you. so, for example, apt-get build-dep kate would fetch everything needed to build kate [03:09] hey i have a zune mp3 player, how do i configure it on xubuntu?

Just read the text, vbox shows you, and you should find a link to the download. [03:15] siropio, start up the guest OS and choose the Guest Additions option at the bottom of the Devices menu [03:15] i've tried that but still needs more time to do it [03:15] cyberjorge: you should look into what edubuntu has done with ltsp [03:15] is it possible to add a command in crontab that will run a process as a specific user?

[03:35] tritium> sorry, please don't get annoyed at me... that is what I was looking at, the complete guide starts with compiling from source, then the next parts assure those steps have been followed, etc. a small section on python packaging. can the midway section be done without completing the former section? [03:35] bazhang: we ll i think so ?? unless i made an error [03:36] qcjn, just wanted to be sure [03:36] bazhang: ok [03:36] I'll read over this though [03:36] qcjn, best to be certain about 3rd party repos as they are known to cause issues at times [03:36] Musfuut: you can package any files [03:36] i need help so bad please someone help me [03:37] Ipaqmaster, with what [03:37] ty finally someone answers [03:37] well [03:37] hey i have a quick question [03:37] !ask [03:37] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

When i try to access it through places though it says it can not mount the volume. any ideas? [03:39] where is the bad-block data map located on the harddrive [03:39] bazhang: instead of comment them, can i erase them ? since festy it's outdated ? [03:40] hello [03:40] el_chupa: first, do you have a backup-medium for the broken parti ? [03:40] yea flash drive [03:40] bazhang: i could, i won't need that anymore [03:40] el_chupa: big enough for the win-parti ? [03:40] oh i dont need the whole partition. just some documents [03:40] qcjn, up to you; make sure the others dont give you problems as well [03:41] el_chupa: ok, are you on live cd now ?

[03:41] is it possible to search for servers in irssi? [03:41] let me rephrase. i am currently on another comp. the virused comp is running the live cd [03:42] bazhang: now sudo apt-get update [03:42] quickcam messenger to work with skype, anyone have an answer? or any help? [03:42] qcjn, after saving and closing the sources.list [03:42] el_chupa: gotch now, on vir-pc open a terminal [03:42] k [03:43] bazhang: i,ve commented it for now. yes i ve closed it and saved it [03:43] el_chupa: ypu can also start pidgin from live cd, might be more handy, if it's got network [03:43] how do i make vim my default editor for crontab and subversion and stuff? [03:43] you*^ [03:43] hey people, im a noob looking for help, i want to use an ftp server to connect ubuntu and xp ( the latter in virtualbox) i installed vsftpd on ubuntu but i dont know what ip address to enter in the xp client :( please help [03:43] i don't understand /etc/crontab... it's very confusing... could someone help me.. i just want a program to run as non-root at startup every startup [03:44] DasEi: dont have the router's wep key handy so that would be a royal pain [03:44] arooni - default?? how do you want to start editing? you usually type "vim ", and there is no such thing as default [03:44] phylwx, can you open a terminal in ubuntu and type 'ifconfig' [03:44] <_VIM_> meoblast001: try gnome-schedule its a GUI for cron [03:44] arooni: stick export EDITOR=vi in your .bashrc [03:44] phylwx: ifconfig on ubu tells ip, but also see : [03:44] !samba [03:44] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.

[03:45] <_VIM_> meoblast001: you dont have any GUI at all? [03:45] thanks DasEi! [03:45] <[M]Maxwell> dixon208: im having the same problem [03:45] <[M]Maxwell> dixon208: is there a error message that you get? [03:45] not sure [03:45] im gonna give it a try right now [03:45] booting from the sidk [03:45] dixon208, md5 the iso yet? what about disk integrity check after a slow burn of iso to cd [03:45] *disk [03:45] <[M]Maxwell> dixon208: is it stuck at a status bar? [03:45] _VIM_: i do but if GUI needs to be started for this application to do it's job, it wont work as i don't have GNOME on autostart [03:45] no [03:45] k [03:46] Hello everyone, I know that ubuntu edgy is no longer supported, but I would like to update my system. Is that still possible or do I need to start clean and install Hardy? [03:46] mikewu arooni - how does the var EDITOR make something default? maybe you give me an exanoke [03:46] bazhang: why gksudo instead of just sudo [03:46] it goes to the install screen [03:46] el_chupa:can you see the win parti/it's devicename (like /dev/sda1) ? [03:46] !md5 | dixon208 [03:46] dixon208: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [03:46] and after 45% it goes to a blank desktop [03:46] hmw: some programs open files for you to edit. If you don't set the editor variable it usually uses nano [03:46] qcjn, for graphical apps [03:46] hmw: for example crontab -e will open a temporary file [03:46] bazhang: ok [03:46] mikewu - aah. ic, thx [03:46] <_VIM_> meoblast001: ah ok then [03:46] dixon208, sounds like a bad burn or a corrupt iso [03:46] hmw: EDITOR will set which editor it will use [03:47] <[M]Maxwell> k well im trying to install 8.10 on my Sony VAIO F490 - PIII 650 MHz - 15 " - 128 MB Ram - 18.1 GB HDD and i cant even get to the install screen. [03:47] [M]Maxwell, then you should follow along with what dixon208 is doing [03:47] DasEi: yes [03:48] bazhang: like GEDIT, cause usually with Gedit i just use sudo..?? [03:48] el_chupa:so which ? [03:48] <[M]Maxwell> bazhang: its a different problem [03:48] <[M]Maxwell> bazhang: i can already tell [03:48] * zelrikriando hates gedit [03:48] qcjn, gedit is graphical so gksudo [03:48] Can someone help me with this error: revoco.c: In function ‘usage’: [03:48] revoco.c:489: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘VERSION’ [03:48] /dev/sda1 [03:48] <[M]Maxwell> i dont even have a OS installed on the HDD yet lmao [03:48] el_chupa:sudo mkdir /mnt/windooze [03:48] I'm trying to compile a program and I don't know what it's about. [03:48] if you use sudo with gedit you can't read it as a "normal" user.. [03:48] bazhang: ok, thanks [03:49] does this look like a good /etc/crontab http://rafb.net/p/u0OYoC23.html [03:49] el_chupa:sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/windooze [03:49] [M]Maxwell, that's a pretty old computer to be installing 8.10 on -- no offense [03:49] el_chupa:cd /mnt/windooze [03:49] I am getting configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables while ./configure (not in root) I also use Kconfigure to see if that would work and get the same error there as well [03:49] el_chupa:ls [03:50] el_chupa:files there ? [03:50] <[M]Maxwell> McShane: i know thats why im putting linux on it, but if 8.04 is working perfectly shouldnt this? [03:50] [M]Maxwell, i wouldn't be surprised if that was the source of your trouble, u [03:50] weshley: you've not installed build-essential [03:50] [M]Maxwell, that's a good point [03:50] [M]Maxwell, you are updating from hardy? [03:50] [M]Maxwell, using the live cd? [03:50] <[M]Maxwell> Nope i completely wiped the hdd [03:50] <[M]Maxwell> im using the disk i burned. [03:51] [M]Maxwell, and md5 and integrity check all passed? [03:51] k thanks tritium, no i havnt, didnt know i had to from a fresh cd install [03:51] [M]Maxwell, it's possible that the ISO was burned to the CD with errors -- did you verify the MD5 sum? [03:51] <[M]Maxwell> McShane: well this is the second cd i have tryed both from different download sources so i dont think so [03:51] [M]Maxwell, you can do that from the Live CD startup menu [03:51] McShane: [M]Maxwell: and also verify medium (bootoption) [03:52] <[M]Maxwell> McShane: idd ill try that now [03:52] [M]Maxwell, you did the md5 or not? [03:52] <[M]Maxwell> Im doing it now. [03:52] meoblast001: it should work if braden has permissions to execute /opt/services/services [03:52] so likely the exact same issue [03:52] mikewu: yes...... now a new problem has emmerged (dont make me spell right)..... i moved /home/braden/services to /opt/services and i get strange error messages [03:53] el_chupa:can you see your win-files ? [03:53] [M]Maxwell, sometimes burning the ISO at a high speed can make burn errors more likely -- your best best is at 4x or even 2x burn speed [03:53] meoblast001: what's the error message? [03:53] im trying to setup a samba server but I keep getting an error telling me that the server is not using user level security and no password is supplied ... anyone know why that is happens locally and from a remote system [03:53] mikewu: i get "chdir(/home/braden/services): No such file or directory" as an error message for running /opt/services/services [03:53] <[M]Maxwell> McShane: well i burned one with the default win7 ISO burner, the second with img burn freeware. [03:54] <[M]Maxwell> McShane: 2 different computers so i have no idea. [03:54] donavan01:check your /etc/samba/smb.conf and google configure samba [03:54] <[M]Maxwell> the error is.. [03:54] yeah tried that one ... it looks right [03:55] [M]Maxwell, I'd recommend this ISO burner, for Windows: http://cdburnerxp.se/ -- that's the one I used for Ubuntu [03:55] donavan01:sudo apt-get install pastebinit [03:55] Hi, quick problem: I just deleted an empty fat32 partition and created a new ext3 partition from the free space using cfdisk. Problem: cfdisk says there is an ext3 partition, but qtparted and my fstab (after booting) still see fat32. Any ideas? [03:55] donavan01:pastebinit /etc/samba/smb.conf [03:55] p* [03:55] <[M]Maxwell> Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block [03:55] <[M]Maxwell> is my error [03:55] meoblast001: /home/braden/services does exist right? just checking [03:55] <[M]Maxwell> so is that a CD error? [03:56] DasEi ... give me a min I need to get it off of the server onto this system [03:56] [M]Maxwell, that sounds like an error with the drive [03:56] change the cd rom [03:56] mikewu: no i moved it to /opt/services [03:56] i have the same [03:56] error [03:56] then you [03:56] I have a lot of videos in a directory, was wondering if there is some sort of "media" suite, besides mythtv or something similiar, that would simply show me thumbnails of the videos [03:56] a nice gui, etc etc. [03:56] <[M]Maxwell> McShane: is it fixable? [03:56] el_chupa:? [03:57] DasEi: sorry. yes theyre there [03:57] [M]Maxwell: Well, you can try burning your ISO at a low speed, like 2x, allowing you to possibly bypass buffer issues [03:57] DasEi: thank you [03:57] el_chupa: mind pm you, easier to follow ? [03:57] How do i pm the bot? [03:58] matt___ : What file manager do you use? [03:58] <[M]Maxwell> McShane: ok thanks ill try that now, my winxp computer is downstairs tho, ill go burn it on that real quick, thanks. atm this one is win7. [03:58] DasEi: sure === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [03:58] illumin8: /query ubottu [03:58] !grub > illumin8: [03:58] DasEi, Thanks [03:58] DasEi http://pastebin.com/d6f7b50dd [03:59] !e2fsprogs [03:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about e2fsprogs [03:59] anyone wanna help me with math?

[03:59] redvamp128, What did i need grub information for? [04:00] illumin8: that way you can ! the bot all you want to in a pm form [04:00] illumin8: was the first thought that would trigger a response from the bot [04:00] redvamp128, Grub is the bootloader for linux, i dont think it has details on pm to ubottu :) [04:00] redvamp128, Oh you had it message me, i see now thanks :) [04:01] illumin8: you asked about the bot-- so I figured you could !(whatever) and get facts [04:01] illumin8, /msg ubottu coc for example [04:01] I wonder if it would help to post my error again, or if 1325 all don't know XD [04:01] Yes thanks everyone i have it now. Apparently Ubottu isnt versed in the use of e2fsprogs, im looking for the command to be able to lable a partition. [04:01] Oh that sounded rude, i ment to add thanks after "yes i have it now" [04:02] illumin8: I usually keep a window of the bot open to query it privately [04:02] illumin8, e2label ? [04:02] hi [04:02] Hammerjak, Thanks thats the one i needed :D [04:02] ah [04:03] dirtbag666: could be that you need to open up g-parted and remove the partition info ( I am on hardy so I don't have that issue) but I do remember having to do that when I ran 8.10. [04:03] i am planning to upgrade my notebook (hp nc6220) disk.. I should be able to replace it with any notebook drive like http://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.phtml?subcategory=HF1H&sortby=match&category=HF1&web_group=byopc_hd& [04:04] dirtbag666: I had to do that when I switched my secondary drive- [04:04] correct? [04:04] donavan01:in the first overview it look corrects, maybe enable wins support, and also the sambauser must have a regular account on the machine you try to log on to / a basic samba config is much shorter and can be found on net easily [04:04] Hammerjak, Thanks again, had a device error due to labels. Was a big help :) [04:04] np :) [04:05] i uninstalled php5 and apache2 the other day but the computer still seems to think its still installed [04:05] redvamp128: I'm still on 8.04 right now (don't like KDE 4.1 ...). How do I remove the partition information? Just "Delete" ? [04:05] DasEi ... thanks for the help I will look for another file and start from scratch [04:05] Looks like I may be encountering something akin to http://www.mail-archive.com/aufs-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01475.html -- how can I determine the du / df for ALL branches? [04:05] i uninstalled tso i could reinstall [04:06] donavan01:.. if user is correct and change of line 35 doesn't do the job [04:06] php5 is already the newest version. [04:06] but its not running [04:06] how do i remove all traces of it? [04:07] Hello everyone. I have set up a printer that i am sharing over a windows network. I have set up the configuration on ubuntu through samba. Would i need to install samba on the windows machine as well? The windows machine is the one with that has the printer installed. [04:07] jhonnyboy - windows already has the smb protocol installed [04:08] haw: do i need to edit the preferences? [04:08] Hello dudes ! === Sabie is now known as Cristiiii [04:08] because when i print nothing happens :( [04:08] when i try to install opera it says E: Package opera has no installation candidate [04:08] jhonnyboy - if your win doesnt see your linux smb, you will probably need nmb (netbios name resolution) [04:08] and i install nmb on the linux machine? [04:08] I have win xp - win 7 dual boot ! I want ubuntu to make triple- boot. Can I do that ?? :) [04:08] I have Vista installed on my computer, how do I create an Ubuntu partition and have it share the harddrive space (so I could access all files) with the Windows partition? [04:08] DasEi ... can I use the main account for the user or do I need to create a completely new on ... this is going to be a NAS box connected directly to my desktop ... securty isnt much of an issue [04:08] Cristiiii, yes sure [04:08] ok [04:09] dirtbag666: just see if it is listed in the g-parted --partition editor -- also you may want to use that to format the partition. also if that does not work -- check your fstab file to see if the partion is still listed there. [04:09] Cristiiii, start installing ubuntu it will detect windows's [04:09] Cristiiii you can, you'd just have to take away some space so you could fit it on a third one [04:09] jhonnyboy - well... that seems not to be the problem, then. nmb is only needed to make your machines visible in the workgroup. you can always connect via IP address. I dont know about printers, sry. [04:09] BehiiMehii: well you can partition your system and have ubuntu run on one partition and windows on the other, ubuntu will be able to access the windows files [04:09] hola [04:09] BehiiMehii, you can use the disk manager in the adminstrative tools in vista [04:09] ive done an apt-get install tcl and apt-get install tcllib, am I missing something here? both installed but when I try to do ./configure for eggdrop it says it requires TCL and maybe it didnt look in the right place for it so do ./configure --with--tcllib='/path/to/libtcl.so' and --with-tclinc='/path/to/tcl.h' options is there a package tcl install i should have done, i did isntall tcl first then after i got this message the first tim [04:09] Yeah, but isn't a problem with 4 Primary partitions ? [04:09] Thanks :) [04:09] redvamp128: thanks so far, I'll give it a try [04:09] Lymies: go to the opera site, they have a .deb file you can download [04:09] donavan01: main account of non-root user [04:09] holaaaaaaa [04:09] any one who speack spanish? [04:10] !es | maza [04:10] maza: 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. [04:10] Cristiiii, not by any definition; it's just that if you want more later you have to delete the last primary and make it a logical [04:10] redvamp128: qtparted gets stuck at "100%" and "Scanning all drive partition" (translated from German, may sound slightly different originally) [04:10] ziroday, nickrud: would that require them to be in different format, like Windows as an NTFS and Linux on something else, or can I have them both the same so I could browse among the files freely? [04:10] aham [04:11] thank u guys [04:11] dirtbag666: I thought you may have had that issue I had before--with 8.10 where I took a drive out and replaced it and it kept telling me to do a check on the file system- Though I think something didn't take with the qtparted [04:11] buttttt [04:11] I'll give it a try ! [04:11] BehiiMehii: ubuntu will be in the ext3 format, now ubuntu can read your windows files but windows can't read them back === MK is now known as Guest60414 [04:11] BehiiMehii, you can't use ntfs as the ubuntu partition, however ubuntu will read ntfs no problem and you can install the fs-driver.org ext2 driver to read ubuntu [04:11] I found this really neat fluxbox theme, now I need help getting drop shadow to work. Here is the theme: http://box-look.org/content/show.php/deviant?content=69040 [04:11] ok, i know only i want to know.... if there would be someone... who seack spanish... [04:11] Anyone knows where would be the best location to define 'CDPATH' and 'set -u' ? .bashrc or .profile ? === Guest60414 is now known as MK-BB [04:12] what exaclty is the diffirence between GTK and Gnome? [04:12] redvamp128: I guess, there's a very simple solution for this, I just do not understand, why cfdisk tells me other information about my partition table than parted :-D [04:12] maza, type /join #ubuntu-es , they speak spanish and are smart too :) [04:12] Is there any way of having Windows read files saved on Ubuntu? [04:12] BehiiMehii, install the driver from fs-driver.org [04:12] BehiiMehii, http://www.fs-driver.org/ [04:12] illumin8: gtk is just the widget toolkit, which includes things like buttons and menus, but gnome is a whole desktop environment which makes heavy use of gtk [04:12] BehiiMehii, into vista, of course [04:12] dirtbag666: if it is not installed then try gparted should be in your synaptic package manger - and if that does not work -- I think the default location is /etc/fstab [04:13] Wait, I thought fs-driver was so Ubuntu could read Windows files [04:13] victorbrca - it should not matter really. put stuff like echo "1" to one of the files and echo "2" to the other, to see, which is called first, if you are concerned about the order of execution [04:13] redvamp128: seems like the main problem is a little bug in qtparted: The status window with the progress bar just won't close if i "delete" using right-click menu. But it works nice using the menu bar [04:13] BehiiMehii, no, ubuntu does that without any extra drivers [04:13] illumin8: there are no difference. [04:13] thanksssssss [04:13] Gtk is part of gnome. [04:13] hmw: not really [04:13] can anyone tell me why ctrl + (x), no matter what i use it wont work in firefox, ctrl + n, ctrl + b, ctrl +t ... nothing works in firefox [04:13] hmw: just wanted to make sure its within the system accordance [04:14] illumin8: GNOME is a desktop envionment whose programs and components use the GTK graphics toolkit. [04:14] So if im installing applications Gnome and GTK would be pretty much the same thing? [04:14] i,ve got this in my sources list "deb http://debian.vogelweith.com/ hardy zgegthemes" i must have put that there to download & install a theme. But do i still need that ?? And next time i ll put a comment on those third party [04:14] hmw: thanks! :) [04:14] redvamp128: Just for calming myself down: How big are the chances of qtparted/parted f***ing up my whole system? :-D [04:14] Hey, I'm running Jaunty (Koala?) and jockey is giving me weird messages [04:14] dirtbag666: as long as you only work with that partiion in question [04:14] illumin8 yep. [04:14] lws: Jaunty support in #ubuntu+1, not here. [04:14] rww, CoffeeBean lstarnes in no particular order thanks, i think i see now. [04:14] rww: okay sorry === MK-BB is now known as MK [04:14] Mr__Mackee:ctrl -t opens no new tab ? caps-lock ? console setup / does ctrl open in other apps ? [04:14] whats the apt-get isntall command to install TCL and its libraries, seems when i did apt-get install tcl it didnt install the full TCL package [04:14] dirtbag666: actually doing it the way you did it I would have had more issues than using gparted (not qtparted) [04:15] dirtbag666 - i guess, chances are quite low === MK is now known as Guest38536 [04:15] Can someone help me with fluxbox a little (mostly with drop shadows. [04:15] illumin8, some apps need qt framework support, other need gtk -- when you download one of those in synaptic, it will automatically add the libraries you need [04:15] doesnt work in here either [04:15] All right, I'll probably be back in about an hour for a bit more help after I backup a couple of files [04:15] dirtbag666 - if you can, check the drive for defects [04:15] redvamp128: Now I've got free space in qtparted, but can't choose the option "create partition". Guess, I'll try gparted [04:15] my ./configure took an error at checking for Tcl header [04:15] <[M]Maxwell> McShane: you were right it was a buffer issue [04:15] illumin8 yep [04:15] dirtbag 666 satanism ftw [04:15] illumin8: well, a gnome application is going to have more dependencies than a pure gtk+ application (gconf, maybe libgnome(ui), etc) [04:15] weshley: which version of tcl do you have? [04:15] !ot | Rozen [04:15] Rozen: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:15] [M]Maxwell, were you able to burn a good ISO? [04:16] my bad [04:16] DasEi, doesnt work in xchat either [04:16] lstarnes; how do I check [04:16] weshley: which command did you use to install tcl? [04:16] C'mon this is the ubuntu channel right, and I need help with fluxbox on ubuntu! [04:16] <[M]Maxwell> McShane: indeed i was, thanks, also what IRC program would you recommend for Ubuntu, im almost positive mIRC isnt compatible [04:16] crdlb, so basicly gtk pure applications=speed, because of lower dependencies ? === Guest38536 is now known as MK-BB [04:16] [M]Maxwell, you *may* be able to fix the buffer issue by swapping the drive's data cable, but it's more likely that the drive needs to be replaced [04:16] Mr__Mackee:so check your keyboard settings then [04:16] Rozen and dirtbag666; satanism for the loss why would u bring that into a place like this === thebleh is now known as zkinion [04:17] illumin8: as long as you're already using gnome, the dependencies won't matter much since they're already loaded [04:17] http://pastie.org/395882 ... does that indicate a drive is bad and cant be mounted? [04:17] [M]Maxwell: xchat (package "xchat", not "xchat-gnome"). mIRC might work through wine, but I wouldn't bother trying. [04:17] lstarnes; sudo apt-get install tcl [04:17] [M]Maxwell pidgin is preinstalled and has an IRC client, but it has minor bugs. [04:17] crdlb, excellent, i just dont want to create to much bloat when installing apps :) [04:17] [M]Maxwell, hmw: pidgin's irc support is very incomplete [04:17] Use xchat as an irc client. [04:17] How do I add a printer from the command line? I know my computer recognizes it because "lpinfo -v" shows the printer, but I don't know how to actually print from it. [04:17] [M]Maxwell: irssi is a nice irc client [04:17] If I neef help w/ server what channel do I go to?? [04:17] weshley: probably 8.4 then. try installing tcl-dev [04:18] MK-BB: an Ubuntu server or this IRC server? [04:18] k thanx [04:18] <[M]Maxwell> Im saving the names, thanks guys :) [04:18] sudo apt-get install xchat [04:18] Ubuntu server [04:18] [M]Maxwell, no prob, glad I could help :) [04:18] Now with fluxbox! [04:18] dirtbag666: It may already be installed-- check system- administration- Partition Editor -- if not then it should be in your synaptic package manger listed as gparted [04:18] I can vouch for xchat, its very user friendly [04:18] MK-BB: for help with Ubuntu Server, you can ask here or in #ubuntu-server [04:18] DasEi ... I made another account just be safe, and I issued this command .... $ smbclient //192.168.1.103/raid --user raid I enter the password and I still get the same error ... is my command incorrect ? I didnt see anything that looked like encryption in the smbclient help [04:18] weshley: tcl is tcl8.4 try tcl8.4-dev [04:19] DasEi, does compiz key bindings override? [04:19] Ok, [04:19] Help with fluxbox? [04:19] Uhmm running compiz as a stand alone de just like fluxbox or openbox? [04:19] dirtbag666: Looking at the limitations of qtparted -- it can't resize ext2/ext3 parittions [04:19] Do you kno if there is like a chanserv service for freenode?? [04:19] dirtbag666: Gparted can do both of those and more [04:19] Mr__Mackee: don't think so, if keyboard map is set up correctly [04:19] MK-BB: yes [04:19] CoffeeBean, i know a little about it, not much, but i came off a system with openbox "#! linux" [04:20] CoffeeBean, what did you need to know? [04:20] How do I register for that? [04:20] MK-BB: /msg nickserv help and /msg chanserv help [04:20] redvamp128: I'm using GParted right now. Ugly as hell, but it works great so far [04:20] a'c~ao [04:20] which packages do I need to install to get java going [04:20] Well, I wanted to know if compiz can run on it's own just like fluxbox or openbox. [04:20] Thanks [04:20] They're all window managers [04:20] its a layer. [04:21] ilumin8, but can you help me with this theme: http://box-look.org/content/show.php/deviant?content=69040 [04:21] redvamp128: That's a sad moment in KDE apps history. I thought that QTParted and GParted had the same functions because there both just frontend for parted [04:21] !java [04:21] CoffeeBean, ill check now [04:21] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [04:21] illumin8, I just want the drop shadows to work. [04:21] its all embeded in biglinu [04:22] smbclient //192.168.1.103/raid --user=raid also no fw installed ? [04:22] dirtbag666: not by what I am reading on the mainpage about qtparted Features [04:22] thank you ubottu [04:22] apache2: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: No such file or directory [04:22] CoffeeBean, first download the package, then open system > prefrences> appreance prefrences. the package can be drag/dropped into it to auto apply. [04:22] CoffeeBean: try following http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=51282&p=1 to make it a wm [04:22] how do i fxi t hat i reinstalled like 50 times [04:22] CoffeeBean: its arch linux but most of it is still the same [04:22] Guys how do I change my php from 5.2.6 to 5.2.8?? [04:23] On my server [04:23] Th0rz, try sudo apt-get install apache2.2-common [04:23] Th0rz, make that reinstall rather than install [04:23] illumin8, are you talking about the drop shadow or the gtk theme? [04:23] dirtbag666: features of gparted GParted -- Features [04:24] redvamp128: horrible English on the homepage, btw!!! It seems like managing my partitions works now, just one last question: Can I use GParted to change the partition's mountpoint or is there another way needed? [04:24] <[M]Maxwell> ok just a quick question, on install do you just choose the city that is closest to you? [04:24] ... [04:24] CoffeeBean, sorry i was talking about the gtk theme, your just wanting the dropshadow effects? [04:24] MK-BB, you'd have to compile it, or wait for next release [04:24] server1:/etc/apache2$ sudo apt-get reinstall apache2.2-common [04:24] E: Invalid operation reinstall [04:24] illumin8 yep [04:24] donavan01: smbclient //192.168.1.103/raid --user=raid also no fw installed ?(man smbclient, ufw disable on the share-side) [04:24] Th0rz: Try install --reinstall [04:24] Th0rz, sudo apt-get install --reinstall apache2.2-common (apt-get had some command changes, I assumed ;) [04:24] dirtbag666: I would not know that-- I think that is the /etc/fstab file-- but I don't have well enough working knowledge to tell you what to do there [04:25] Help?? [04:25] CoffeeBean, hmm thats more customized than what i did sorry :/ [04:25] nickrud it ran but still nothing [04:25] MK-BB, did you see my last? [04:25] dirtbag666 redvamp128 - you can change mount points quite easily in fstab. google or manpage, if needed, for detailed info. its not hard. [04:25] dirtbag666: though with gparted you should be able to manage the free space- [04:25] Th0rz, sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart [04:25] CoffeeBean, did you already try to drag/drop it into themes? [04:26] I did that's apache not php.. [04:26] hey guys which of you have a little time to shoe me how to put those guest additions in VirtulaBox? [04:26] .: 197: Can't open /etc/apache2/envvars [04:26] ERROR: APACHE_PID_FILE needs to be defined in /etc/apache2/envvars [04:26] apache2: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: No such file or directory [04:26] redvamp128: Right now, everything looks great. Next steps are changing mountpoint and getting KDE auto-mounter to like my new partition [04:26] MK-BB, about php. you'd have to compile or wait for next release [04:26] my amazon web services (ec2) server cannot be pinged... but i'm NOT using iptables, ... so i'm not sure why i wouldn't be able to ping the server. ideas? [04:26] illumin8, well I already installed the gtk theme, tried the same thing with the drop shadow (the visibilitiy config), but apparently I have to get this other program to run. [04:26] hmw: I have only added to mine a custom swap file and commented out the old one-- but would not know how to tell him how to do it on his sytem [04:26] DasEi, keyboard settings are correct, ctrl + alt + d takes me to desktop & ctrl + alt + left/right changes desktops, ctrl just doesnt work in applications [04:26] Th0rz, seems like you are missing an important file. did you delete it? [04:26] I see.. I currently hav 5.2.6 [04:26] If I use mozilla back-up.. will it work on Ubuntu too ? [04:27] siropio - you need the ISO file for the guest additions CD, and "mount" it in the virtual box [04:27] siropio - did you already download the ISO? [04:27] unop i uninstalled when i got upset with some php so i could reinstall but it looks like i really stuffed things up [04:27] CoffeeBean, do you have the compiz icon installed? [04:27] Is there a bot or something I could search the latest release of packages?? [04:27] yea and i am already in [04:27] illimin8, yep [04:27] CoffeeBean, it has right click options that enable specific effects. like swapping to other managers [04:27] hi everyone i need some simple help [04:27] starting to think might be better if i nuke the box an reinstall but 50+ users are using it all the time lol [04:27] but the pointer is stack [04:27] anyone using userful desktop multiplier? [04:27] redvamp128: fstab does not contain the recent information about the new partition right now. I guess it's created on Kubuntu startup? [04:28] Th0rz, that is very odd. envvars is owned by apache2.2-common , reinstalling it should replace it. Try sudo apt-get purge apache2.2-common (will cause other things to uninstall, write them down and then reinstall all) [04:28] CoffeeBean, then im a tad lost yet again. :/ [04:28] siropio - did you already install the guest additions in the OS within the vbox? [04:28] yes [04:28] Th0rz, you could reinstall all the apache packages and have the files replaced. dpkg -l | awk '/apache2/{print $2}' | xargs sudo aptitude reinstall [04:28] but nothing [04:28] Thorz, I used http://articles.slicehost.com [04:28] To set my web server [04:29] Devices>Instalation guests additions [04:29] unop, unfair! you scripter you [04:29] it has a lot of good tips [04:29] illumin8, a it's ok thanks. [04:29] Anyone know how to getting the built in microphone on a compaq presario f700 to work..? [04:29] nickrud, ha .. i'm sure if you put your mind to it, you could beat me to pulp? :) [04:29] siropio - what OS is the virtual machine running? [04:29] illumin8, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IApYWE5W28k this link might give an idea what I want. [04:30] CoffeeBean, Yea it looks like what your doing is installing a theme to gtk/fluxbox from what i understand but compiz isnt allowing you to manage the drop shadow? [04:30] @hmw:OpenSolaris [04:30] unop, maybe if I actually spent time learning awk ;( [04:30] got it [04:30] dam thing [04:30] well, thanks everyone for helping me, especially redvamp128 [04:30] siropio - hmm. never used solaris. you will have to ask in the vbox channel (dont know the right name) or ask google [04:30] Good night!!! [04:30] ThOrz, what was it? [04:30] everything :D [04:31] illumin8, I don't think it's compiz, I think there is this program I have to install (called xcompmgr) then add the settings. [04:31] lolz [04:31] purge and a reboot did it [04:31] nickrud, there's only one or two things i know about awk .. i need to learn a bit more about it too [04:31] now if i can only get php working :( [04:31] Hello guys, I'm trying to find a linux program that will convert .ts files (video) into a more normal format like .mpg ...does anyone have any suggestions? I've spent some time googling, but I've not had a lot of luck. I have one link that looks kind of promising and if someone can take a look at it I'll post it. [04:31] Thorz, sounds good [04:31] DasEi ... no FW and I diabled ufw and still the same [04:31] whatsup [04:31] What's wrong 1/ php?? [04:31] CoffeeBean, from the looks of that video your right. those dont look like any theme i have seen before, the focus is altered. [04:31] unop, if I'd have spent all the time I've wasted here learning better practices I'd be very good :) [04:31] MK-BB uninstalled this sql mod a lot of the sites use :( [04:32] Hi guys. [04:32] lets the php talk to the sql or something [04:32] I managed to break the OS! [04:32] ohols [04:32] CoffeeBean, composite manager, with shadows and true alpha [04:32] Did u look at theink I gave u?? [04:32] nickrud, i wouldn't say all the time here is wasted -- I learnt a lot hanging out here over the years [04:32] link*.. [04:32] Th0rz, that's libapache2-mod-php5 [04:32] illumin8, do you happen to know on how to mess around with that? [04:32] ThOrz, check that link out.. [04:33] CoffeeBean, let me see if i can find its menu editor [04:33] Anyone know how to getting the built in microphone on a compaq presario f700 to work..? [04:33] Anyone know how to get a usb wireless adapter to work in the terminal? [04:33] I already ran [04:33] ndiswrapper [04:33] RadicalR, lsusb then u have to mount [04:33] I guess [04:33] nickrud how do i install that lol [04:33] CoffeeBean, http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Transparency [04:33] Xx_Gaara_xX - it *might* be wrongly "connected" to LINE IN [04:34] <[M]Maxwell> RadicalR: you have to haev a temp internet connection [04:34] hey room-- having problems playing wav. files after running, but closing, JACK et. al. Figure the sound driver needs to be reconfigured to ALSA... how i do that? [04:34] <[M]Maxwell> RadicalR: if you do then you can do this easy using this vid [04:34] CoffeeBean, it says in the first part that its a how to guide on enabling it. [04:34] Well, I have a laptop [04:34] ThOrz, sudo apt-get install php- [04:34] That's connected :) [04:34] <[M]Maxwell> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLR1Yb1AZq0&feature=channel [04:34] try that [04:34] Th0rz, sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 [04:34] hmw how do i check it i'm still new to ubuntu [04:34] cant be it [04:34] <[M]Maxwell> then go to add and remove programs [04:34] <[M]Maxwell> search windows [04:34] <[M]Maxwell> windows wireless drivers [04:34] <[M]Maxwell> and your there [04:34] Th0rz, libapache2-mod-php5 # installs php for apache [04:34] [M]Maxwell: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:34] <[M]Maxwell> ;) [04:34] is there a way to allow inbound connections to my laptop over wifi? everything works fine with the wired connection. would like to test some thing with 2 laptop via wifi.

[04:35] Wow, its hard to chat with a blackberry [04:35] mk-bb: you get used to it quickly [04:35] Xx_Gaara_xX - just like you would do in win, double click the volume icon on the top of your screen to get the mixer. enable every slider possible and play around. you might need the +20dB option. [04:35] D-Link [04:35] Th0rz, got php5-mysql installed? [04:35] and I think it just broke further [04:35] Th0rz, what version of ubuntu are you running? [04:36] Now it stalls on Configuring network interfaces [04:36] not sure [04:36] Xx_Gaara_xX you should have a sound recorder isntalled already [04:36] !version | Th0rz [04:36] Th0rz: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [04:36] ThOrz, please just listen to me and head to http://articles.slicehost.com [04:36] Th0rz, try what unop said first, [04:36] CoffeeBean, before you go off with them i suggest making backups of your files that will be altered, "It's worth mentioning, that both RENDER and Composite extentions are still in early testing." [04:36] Trust me it will help u.. [04:36] illumin8, right... thanks!

But you should give the full link. sometimes people don't know exactly what they're looking for [04:39] is there a vmware room?

[04:47] MK-BB, and the intent is for you to keep your sites available in sites-available, and symlink the ones you want 'activated' to sites-enabled [04:47] Can anyone look at this and see why I can't get xserver up and running? [04:47] cuddlefis, yes?? [04:47] i tested it still no sound [04:48] illumin8: i was using synaptic, search results. it shows up as available and happens to be installed [04:48] Ok.. I kno that I hav to do sudo a2ensite site name [04:48] pls how do i get my wireless card driver installed again [04:48] MK-BB, you don't have to use that system, it's just what the standard is... all you have to do is change apache2.conf to whatever you want [04:48] illumin8: so i should add the repository to the aptitude on my server, i'll look up how to do that [04:48] iykrichie, use ndiswrapper [04:48] danfg, :) [04:48] MK-BB, see the end of that config file to see what i'm talking about [04:48] ndiswrapper -i name.inf [04:49] illumin8: thanks btw [04:49] Rdw200169, what if I'm hosting 20 domain?? [04:49] that will install the driver. [04:49] i is that a command? [04:49] danfg, no problem :) [04:49] How would I enable it?? [04:49] my wireless was installed initially till after an update [04:49] MK-BB, that's fine, it doesn't matter. what *does* matter is leaving apache2.conf *generally* alone so that package upgrades won't screw up your configurations... that's why they do the whole subdirectory-config thing in the first place === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [04:50] anyone use LXDE ? [04:50] What?? I didn't catch that.. [04:50] Can u pm me.. And explain..?? [04:50] Cuz this blackberry is killing me [04:50] MK-BB, apache2 can do anything you want, as far as that is concerned... my best suggestion would be researching apache2, either via they're website or buying a book [04:51] MK-BB, *their [04:51] Ok.. [04:51] anyone know of a good program that can convert mpg to divx [04:51] Right now my apache2 settings are like apache2.conf setupped [04:51] mikewu i tried alsamixer -V all capture was at 100% i tested it still no sound..? [04:51] and sites enabled by using a2ensite [04:52] joshjtl, I do, a little [04:52] Xx_Gaara_xX: do you have an option called mic_boost, make sure that is on, also scroll over to capture and press space [04:52] LostChain - mencoder has many, many options. but you would have to read a lot of instructions - i should have some batch file with examples [04:52] McShane, how did you install it? [04:52] Xx_Gaara_xX: a L and a R should apear at the bottom [04:52] joshjtl, from synaptic [04:52] MK-BB, ah, so you have all your directives, etc... in that file? [04:52] i have used that before [04:52] LostChain, take a look at avidemux [04:53] In sites-avaliable [04:53] McShane, it's not available on mine... did you add the repository yourself? [04:53] hmw: what i am looking for is something gui based [04:53] joshjtl, no [04:53] And I enable them by using a2ensite [04:53] and reload [04:53] McShane, ... you must have... [04:53] wooo, found a fix for my laptop! [04:53] hmm postgresql-8.2 seems to be gutsy specific, postgresql-8.3 is hardy specific [04:53] something like AVS video converter [04:53] That's the way it works.. [04:53] chu_ what was it? [04:53] joshjtl, make sure you have Synaptic set to "all" on the left-hand side [04:54] Guys, how do I setup an email server?? [04:54] i used wine to use AVS but it has problems [04:54] Like using roundcube or some sort?? [04:54] danfg, so it didnt update because it was not a valid upgrade for the server i assume? [04:54] MK-BB, well, if you reference what i was talking about, with symlinks, you'll notice that i described what a2ensite does... all it does is remove or add symlinks from sites-available to sites-enabled [04:54] joshjtl, and make sure that "Sections" is selected on the left-hand side too [04:54] illumin8: it's not available for installation [04:55] does anyone here have an intel graphics card on their system? [04:55] I kno..that.. [04:55] MK-BB, for that, the e-mail think, let me suggest #ubuntu-server, or the Ubuntu Wiki [04:55] McShane, that is so bizarre... it's just not available for me... (and I read its been added to intrepid repos) [04:55] hmw: Apparntly, ACPI is broken on my model, something about different memory addresses? anyway, the fix is updated in 2.6.29-rc1, I'm wondering if Jaunty will ship with 2.6.28 though.... [04:55] danfg, yea your assumption is right then, its probably hardy specific. [04:55] joshjtl, you may want to check your sources.lst, it may be out of date [04:55] allan8904, yes on my laptop but not right now.. Cuz I'm on my bad online w. My blackberry [04:55] illumin8: i'll try to obtain the package by hand and install it somehow... damn i'm so sleepy, had to wait till 2am to do this now aptitude is being a brat [04:56] McShane, i updated... its not [04:56] MK-BB are you using the defualt ubuntu drivers or are the intel-OOS ones better? [04:56] Rdw200169; ok.. I'm on there so ill ask ppl there if there is any.. [04:57] anybody know how to change the MiMenu icon in avant-window-navigator [04:57] Idk.. I just formatted my hard drive [04:57] MK-BB, there are some really smart people in there when it comes to server stuff, its best to ask your question and wait very patiently [04:57] Ok [04:57] U on that room too?? [04:58] For anyone who has an asus 50gl series laptop, and has problems, this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=962852 outlines a potential fix. [04:58] hi i can not run my project when i type http://localhost/myproject can you tell me what is the problem [04:59] hey all [04:59] it is giving this message.....Forbidden You don't have permission to access /myproject/ on this server. [05:00] I've installed Ibex on two of my desktop PCs, but during the installation onto my laptop I get dumped to the prompt from the live cd [05:00] I'm assuming it couldn't start the graphics controller for the gui [05:01] what do I do now? [05:01] mikewu: L and R were already enabled i tested it but still no sound i notice in the volume control is said for recording the device is Capture:ALSA PCM on front:0 (CONEXANT Analog) via DMA (pulseAudio mixer) [05:01] what's the terminal command to delete files? [05:01] Could somone help me put my computer to sleep? [05:01] Rdw200169, so u don't kno?? Or [05:01] Aeosynth: rm [05:01] Eweb100, sleep [05:01] MK-BB, if i knew, i would have mentioned it, but i've never even heard of roundcube [05:01] Ok [05:01] whats the latest release candidate? [05:02] mk-bb, suspend [05:02] Suspend doesn't work can somone help me? [05:02] Or other webmail clients [05:02] eweb100, just turn it off [05:02] mikewu: it looks like that worked, but now the file isn't in my trash. rm completely deletes files? [05:02] illumin8: i changed sources.list entries to hardy (just temporarily) and did aptitude update. now i'm gonna aptitude install postgresql-8.3 yay [05:03] F_newton, nice [05:03] * danfg crosses fingers [05:03] eweb100 - if your swap is smaller than your ram, it cannot work [05:03] MK-BB, apt-cache search webmail reveals many options, you should see that, roundcube made the list so it looks like its in the repos [05:03] mikewu: nevermind, i'll just use man pages. thanks! [05:03] hmw, it says "failed" when it checks for fileswap [05:03] Ut even if I download [05:03] this is silly [05:04] I don't kno how to set mx records and such [05:04] mikewu: L and R were already enabled i tested it but still no sound i notice in the volume control is said for recording the device is Capture:ALSA PCM on front:0 (CONEXANT Analog) via DMA (pulseAudio mixer) [05:04] if you want the machine in hibernation and it wont go just turn the thing off. its not a big deal unless you cant start it up again [05:04] MK-BB, what are trying to do? [05:04] CAn somone help me get my linux swap work? [05:04] eweb100, do you have a swap partition? [05:04] eweb100 whats wrong? [05:04] eweb100, you need a lot more understanding then instruction [05:04] Yes [05:04] eweb100: if you have it and it's not being used feel good about your computer.. [05:04] open up you patrition manager [05:05] To use webmail.. So basically like gmail but with my domain... [05:05] then right click the swap partion and click swapon [05:05] can anyone help me out i can not run myproject on localhost ...it is giving error Forbidden You don't have permission to access /myproject/ on this server. [05:05] why should i feel good? [05:05] allan8904 - sudo swapon should do it, too. [05:05] how i make a gaime!!! [05:05] oh didnt realize I was in this channel... [05:05] eweb100, like hmw said, if you have the partition, it should be a simple matter of using swapon [05:06] hmw - thanks, i'm still getting the hang of bash, but its good to know things like that [05:06] deny: check file permissions, check for fancy indexing if you dont have an index.html in that folder, check owenershio [05:06] eweb100: if you have a swap and it's not being used that means memory management is working well.. Unlike windows where swap is used constantly [05:06] deny change the permissions (if you are gui person, then find the file and right click properties and give yourself access/permission [05:06] eweb100, because if you arent using your swap then the memory is handling all the tasks [05:06] Nevermind mikewu it works now thanks a bunch ^_^ XDDDDD [05:06] On startup, when it checks everything, it says FAILED next to swap [05:06] Hum. [05:06] can someone help me, I've been dumped to the command prompt during initial install [05:06] deny check .htaccess [05:06] And i asume because of that i cant put my computer into suspend [05:06] this looks cool: http://xpud.org/ [05:06] Laci, reinstall [05:06] deny - make a new dir and put only one index.html file with content "test" there. does that show up? [05:07] eweb100, how did you first setup the swap (using ubuntu install or gparted etc.) [05:07] eweb100, did you manually partition your installation? [05:07] Laci - have you tried using the CD on a different computer? [05:07] yes [05:07] Laci - does it work? [05:07] I've installed it on 2 other desktops [05:07] yes [05:07] this is a laptop [05:07] fun, I know [05:07] f_newton, yes [05:07] how can i install open source search engine lucene [05:07] Laci: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:07] eneker [05:07] Dante123, he would have had to because if he let ubuntu do it he would have had swap [05:07] Laci - hmm....odd [05:07] eweb100 f_newton Dante123 - it might be a too small swap partition. [05:07] hwm_its 6 gigs [05:08] Hum [05:08] I'm looking at ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [05:08] eweb100 alright, thats what i wanted to check... hmm. [05:08] hello [05:08] well Im done [05:08] I ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:08] went through the motions [05:08] Laci - so you dont even get into the gui? [05:08] zzzzzzzzz [05:08] nope [05:08] something isnt being reported properly hmw.... Im going back to the other channel [05:08] Laci - what happens if you type sudo startx? [05:09] Rdw200169, so I guess ill have to wait for an answer from ubuntu-server [05:09] hmw, is there someway i can reinstall the partitions, and not reinstall the whole system [05:09] f_newton - what? [05:09] MK-BB, did you try installing roundcube, from the repos? [05:09] looks like I need to manually configure the video driver [05:09] he manually partitioned his hard drive and it fails swap so you figure it out hmw its not that hard [05:09] eweb100 - hmm... you could cp the whole partition (while not mounted "alive", livecd) to some other drive [05:09] eweb100, personally I use puppy linux cd that has gparted on it to setup my hard drive BEFORE I install ubuntu. [05:09] !info axl-lucene [05:09] I didn't want to mess up [05:09] Screens found but none have a usable configuration [05:09] hi I have an animated gif I want to resize, how do you do this in ubuntu? [05:09] Package axl-lucene does not exist in intrepid [05:09] so I didnt [05:09] Hm [05:10] Dante123, you dont need to do that as ubuntu has a very good partitioner [05:10] Laci - thats what it sounds like [05:10] Laci - what video card do you have? [05:10] eweb100, install gparted and reset your swap partition [05:10] I use gedit? [05:10] Need help with network interface card [05:10] Laci, I like gedit but a lot of folks use nano [05:10] f_newton, kk [05:10] Laci - nah you'd have to use something like vi [05:11] Laci - if you cant get into X that is [05:11] I would use nano [05:11] Dante123: how are you planning on being careful because I have seen some horror stories about ubuntu's partition result...as in losing the previous OS [05:11] eweb100, make sure you have enough empty space to do that [05:11] Or mc [05:11] personal preference i guess...i jsut like VI :p [05:11] allan8904, it's an Averatec 3200 laptop [05:11] 12.1" XGA [05:11] f_newton, i do [05:11] eweb100, before you do this read up on partitioning either from the gparted site or from a ubuntu document [05:11] mc is the most help for me... [05:11] I'm searching for the manufacturer now [05:11] allan8904 - i always suggest newbies to use nano, because they find out how to exit the program. vi is a little tricky *g* [05:12] hi, I have an animated gif I want to resize, does anyone know how to do this in ubuntu? [05:12] and next time you install eweb100 dont do what you dont know how [05:12] It helped a lot... When I started using ubuntu or other linux [05:12] hmw - fair enough [05:12] Or try mc [05:12] f_newton, aww but thats fun [05:12] constantine, try gimp [05:12] eweb100 - if you do backup your sys with cp, look into the man page. i think its about the -a switch [05:12] eweb100, for whom? [05:13] what file to I need to edit, xorg.conf? [05:13] Rdw200169, so should I just give it a shot w/ the installation for roundcube?? [05:13] laci first back it up use cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf and copy it to a back up folder [05:13] Laci - hmm it seems to have VIA/S3 card, as to which one i have no idea [05:13] MK-BB, shouldn't hurt anything, apt is really smart [05:14] laci then use nano or gedit for example gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:14] constantine: install imagemagick and then use the convert command [05:14] index.html is running infact xampp is running ...but when i put my project then it is not running [05:14] you can also use xrandr [05:14] Lolz, I don't kno how to do mx records [05:15] laci do you know what you are editing it to? [05:15] wow, says "cannot open display" when running gedit [05:15] sort of [05:15] I had to do that on one of my desktop installs [05:15] sort of? messing up xorg will mess up your box Laci [05:15] well, it's a fresh install [05:15] laci - did you enter gedit in the console (not xterminal)? [05:15] Laci - yeah you cant open Gedit without x [05:15] well [05:15] what seems to be the problem Laci ? [05:15] Apic errors [05:15] it is giving error Forbidden You don't have permission to access /myproject on this server. anyone please help me [05:15] Laci - use nano [05:15] noapic nolapic pci=noapic [05:16] as boot flags [05:16] does not work [05:16] Can I get gnome-do help here? [05:16] its an m2n-e [05:16] nano worked, thanks [05:16] motherboard [05:16] gotu - check for the .htaccess file, there might be something wrong. check file permissions on all files, also on the directory [05:16] anybody else you think i need todo? [05:16] hmw, you know what.... I find most of linux runs pretty good until people start messing with it [05:17] anyone got any tips for xorg.conf for an S3/Via video card in a laptop/ [05:17] i have given all the file permission to these folders /opt/lampp/htdocs/myproject [05:17] f_newton: hehe, thats generally the rule [05:17] f_newton linux shouldnt be used with a mouse [05:17] laci you need to install the s3 kmod [05:17] or the s3 driver whatever they call it in ubuntu [05:18] how? :) [05:18] hmw I love my mouse [05:18] gotu - can you determine, who is telling you about the permission problem? is it the web server or is it the script? [05:18] you have internet? [05:18] constantine, I personally prefer booting puppylinux with livecd- setting up my hard drive with the partition for ubuntu, separate home partition and then swap....better than using the install partition program. Just personal preference and it has never NOT worked for me. === kyle205i_ is now known as kyle205i [05:18] yes [05:18] well, I'm talking to you lovely folks... [05:18] or do you mean on the PC in question [05:19] it must have script ...i have already tested with some other projects too [05:19] I am afraid I don't know much about ubuntu names or commands Laci but what you have to do is install and enable the S3 kernel module and driver [05:19] Laci - as in do you have the internet :p [05:19] sorry it must have server [05:19] he said yes === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [05:19] oh ok [05:19] I mean on the machine you need to install the module Laci [05:20] well, I haven't been able to complete the ubuntu install as of yet due to video display issues [05:20] someone gave me the xorg reconfigure command for init 3 but I cant remember what they told me [05:20] so right now, I'm sitting in nano looking to put in the driver info [05:20] Any good reasons to upgrade to Jaunty? [05:20] hum [05:21] can anyone tell me how to prevent a network card from automatically using saved wireless settings when it is plugged in? [05:21] well if it wont work in ubuntu mandriva may be your only other choice as ubuntu and mandriva are the two eazy peezy distros with proprietary drivers included [05:21] iztehsux, you can right click on the network manager icon and edit your connection [05:22] gotu - i dont understand "it must have server". please always type my nickname, so that my irc client does a beep, or i might not see your message. [05:22] hmw you have sounds enabled??? [05:22] thats annoying [05:23] f_newton: okay, i got that far, but i have 2 network cards, 1 built in and 1 external usb. every time i plug the usb card in, it starts trying to use the saved settings from the built in card. [05:23] f_newton i use a console irc client, its the pc speaker beep [05:23] iztehsux, you should be able to choose which one is enabled in edit [05:23] irrsi? [05:23] !wow [05:23] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [05:24] Guys does anyone know of a linux based program that will convert .ts (video) to another format like .mpg? [05:24] Gotu - you could try replacing the index.html (or .php or whatever) with something simple, like just "test" in it and look, if you can access it. does it work? [05:24] hmw - i have already tested with some other project all are not running [05:24] hmw using irrsi or bitchx? [05:24] f_newton a derivate of irssi - "epic" [05:24] kewl.... my hats off to you hmw [05:24] hmw - i have already done this [05:24] what is 'wow' [05:25] hmw I use xchat in a large screen display [05:25] Gotu - hmm... maybe you dont have php installed? maybe the kind of index.XYZ is not defined as an index file in apache's conf? [05:25] Wow is your girlfriend bringing her friend over for you to enjoy. [05:25] but I usually have about 5 things running at once [05:25] hmw - i dont know ...but if php is not installed then how localhost is running [05:26] Linux Konfucious say... an ounce of reading is worth a pound of questions Gotu [05:26] gotu - php is a programming language, localhost is a (virtual) network interface [05:26] gotu - your project is written in PHP? [05:26] O .I think it is a 'game [05:27] f_newton Mandriva is French distro isn't it? [05:27] php is a scripting language not a programming language isnt it? does it compile? [05:27] no [05:27] hmw - but it is running on another system...my company is transfering from window to ubuntu ...only one pc is running and my pc is not [05:27] Or just popular in france? [05:27] f_newton in my opinion, interpreter languages are programming languages as well [05:27] Dante123, mandriva is a mix of south african and south american [05:27] hmw - yes it is in php... [05:27] yeah right [05:28] ... [05:28] Hmm, I must be thinking of something else [05:28] anyone used NFS ? [05:28] Gotu, interesting to see that your company is switching. What type of business [05:28] Dante123, mandrake used to be really popular in France [05:28] ok, I've edited my xorg.conf but when I hit Ctrl-O in nano I get permission denied [05:28] gotu - please check out: placing a new index.php to your test directory as also to the project dir. make the content of index.php "test" and then "" (thats 4 test cases) and tell me the results [05:29] f_newton okay that is what I was thinking of Mandrake === epswing_ is now known as epswing [05:29] Dantel123 - its web dev company [05:29] mandrake is one half of mandriva === MK is now known as Guest50282 [05:30] wut's the other half [05:30] mandriva is kind of an rpm based ubuntu with out the poop brown color scheme [05:30] i know this is off topic, but important, socks the car died tonight [05:30] cat [05:30] oh heck let me think cuddlefish [05:30] pclinux or something?: [05:30] wizzer: #ubuntu-offtopic [05:30] Gotu, in my home I have switched four out of five computers to linux (along with my kids and wife), I have installed ubuntu for three friends that seem pleased with it. and where I work we got three ubuntu dell mini 9's. Im thinking linux is starting to make a move...albeit slow. === Guest50282 is now known as MK-BB [05:30] i'm done with that topic, now about my sound card [05:31] I have my Palm TX running Linux. [05:31] f_newton, I've edited my xorg.conf but when I hit Ctrl-O in nano I get permission denied [05:31] laci - did you sudo nano? [05:31] it stopped working when i upgraded to intrepid [05:31] probably not [05:31] no wifi, but i boot into palmos for that. World Domination is closer! [05:31] cuddlefish palm tx is older or newere palm??? [05:31] is there a channel for ubuntu 64 [05:31] so do I have to quit out and do it all over again? [05:31] laci - you'll need to sudo [05:31] laci - yeah you'll have to redo it [05:32] crappers... [05:32] Laci, what is the save command for nano? [05:32] I hate this blackberry, keep on disconnecting me [05:32] controlx [05:32] Ctrl-o [05:32] laci you are in super user right?

[05:32] f_newton, ubuntu@ubuntu~$ [05:33] Laci: sudo bash [05:33] Rdw200169, were u saying anything to me I missed everything probably [05:33] hmw - i have created a folder test and put index.php in /opt/lampp/htdocs it is giving error : Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0 [05:33] Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required '/opt/lampp/htdocs/test/index.php' (include_path='.:/opt/lampp/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0 [05:33] Laci, Im still not familiar with this sudo whatever....

Good idea to install Real Player 11? === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [05:38] hmw - or should i reinstall ubuntu ? [05:38] mereo, its never a good idea to install real player [05:39] Gotu - i am still uncertain about the test results. Is it right, that a index.php containint "test" also results in that error? [05:39] mereo, just grab VLC, I think it plays those files [05:39] usser, lol, because for some reason, totem only plays the audio and doesn't show the video [05:39] ive seen loads of such threads [05:39] hmw - no ...there was no sign of test in that result [05:39] but let me browse this one [05:40] its kinda an esoteric error [05:40] mereo, totem is a cripple, try mplayer with w32codecs or vlc [05:40] gotu - reinstalling is somewhat cowardish - you might get rid of the problem but you will not find out, what went wrong and will not be able to repair it, if it happens again. Of course, i also do resetup in similar situations sometimes [05:40] hmw - only 2 lines came up which i have pasted [05:40] sometimes hmw reinstalling saves a lot of work [05:40] deus alsp check out http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-191355.html [05:40] but learning is important [05:40] usser, interesting... what do you use personally? [05:40] Gotu - you could try to reinstall PHP or apache before reinstalling the whole sys [05:41] totem-xine works well [05:41] mereo, vlc and mplayer usually get the job done, if one doesnt play other will [05:41] f_newton gotu - saving time (or saving my nerves) is a legitimate reason for "cowardish" reinstalling the whole sys. i do it, too. [05:41] hmw - o.k i'll reinstall php and apache first ;) === cellofellow is now known as cellofellowghost [05:41] thanks [05:41] well there was a time that using that term was fightin words [05:41] grrr [05:41] lol [05:41] can someone please tell me how to get a folder to share between 2 ubuntu systems ...

[05:43] hmw=> yeah [05:44] colors in console? [05:44] what will they think of next?? [05:44] spaceBARbarian alright: if you put ansi codes into the prompt, the shell cannot calculate the lenght of the visible part of it. you need to encapsulate all ansi codes in \[ANSICODE\] [05:44] hey guys im using fglrx driver for my ati video card and i got twin view, but i want dual monitor and there doesnt seem to be a way to selected it..i tried going to screen resolution and press the detect displays button but nothing happens any suggestions? === Richie is now known as WelshDragon [05:44] im using 8.10 ibex [05:44] I have even tried opening the folder up to guests and it still wants a password [05:45] hmw=> i am using the \e31m thing to change colors [05:45] spaceBARbarian yes. use \[...\] [05:45] Has anybody experienced a speed up on boot with Jaunty? I have. Quite impressed [05:45] okay so enclose all the color codes within \[ \] ?

[05:46] One of the problems I find in ubuntu is firefox... I find it much slower than in Windows. I have a fast Athlon 64 5200+ cpu. And in Windows, Firefox only takes a couple of percentage of the cpu... [05:46] !metacity [05:46] sigh... (EE) VESA [05:46] no matching modes found [05:47] mereo: I have been using Ubuntu since 2005 and I still get that. Even Gmail is slower in Ubuntu Firefox than in Windows Firefox [05:47] hmw=> i get it, thks [05:47] I really do not know why ubuntu does not release a very Newbie Friendly version of Ubuntu? [05:47] what is remote desktop viewer called in synaptic? [05:47] mereo - just for your information: you can expect FF to be ~10% to 20% slower than in windows [05:47] what is the official 8.2 -> 8.3 upgrade tutorial? [05:47] hmm is it normal, that virtualbox takes 40% even if the vm has 97% idle time? [05:48] hi [05:48] puremichael how fast is your machine, how much RAM does it have? [05:48] *sigh*, I wish it's going to be optimized in the future [05:48] hmw, xp2000, 2gb [05:48] Any reason why it's slower than windows? === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [05:48] puremichael xp2000? how fast is the CPU? [05:49] when is the release for jaunty?? [05:49] <[M]Maxwell> mero: what version of windows were you using? [05:49] april 23rd? [05:49] mereo: how many bookmarks do you have? how many add-ons installed? [05:49] puremichael how large is the RAM of the virtual machine? [05:49] !jaunty [05:49] Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [05:49] i'm trying to mount my external hdd, but I get this message "mount: Stale NFS file handle" Can somebody help me ? [05:49] [M]Maxwell, XP [05:49] ahh, sorry... xp3800, 2x 2,0ghz [05:49] <[M]Maxwell> mereo: if it was xp and your using 8.10 then it would be because 8.10 uses more resources [05:49] hmw, 640mb [05:50] <[M]Maxwell> mereo: it would be like going to vista. [05:50] savvas, you can say it's a new install, I hardly have any new addons and bookmarks except for adblock plus [05:50] puremichael - 40% sounds a little much, but it might be normal. There is a lot going on, even if only the idle process is running. [05:50] <[M]Maxwell> mereo: personaly for my linux computer im using 8.04 LTS [05:50] mereo: I'd suggest to create a new test user, log in from that account and try firefox again [05:50] <[M]Maxwell> mereo: its much faster. [05:50] mereo: otherwise, you could try epiphany-browser :) [05:50] [M]Maxwell, I'll have to try Windows 7 and see how it's going be. [05:51] <[M]Maxwell> mereo: im using windows 7 on this pc right now lol [05:51] puremichael - 40% sounds totally ok to me, if your CPU had a small L1 cache (like celerons) [05:51] <[M]Maxwell> mereo: i love it, and it runs faster then vista. [05:51] savvas, lol, yeah, I'll try that *not now though* And perhaps epiphany will be like k-meleon in windows [05:51] [M]Maxwell, lol, what about Firefox's speed in there? [05:52] mereo - regarding 3D functions (compiz, like Aero in Vista) - linux is WAY faster. (try installing Vista/Aero on a 800 MHz machine LOL - Compiz runs just fine on my old PC) [05:52] <[M]Maxwell> mereo: well it all depends your pc but i have less then a second for boot time and ive got a couple add ons installed [05:53] can any one help me out with my scanner its benq4300...am not able to use it..its giving me error when i try to use it thru xsane...the error is ...failed to open device' snapscan:libusb:001:002:invalid argument [05:54] <[M]Maxwell> mereo: whats your pc stats. [05:54] Test [05:54] hmw, i watched the following: idle at around 9%, running a single SDL app (just opening a window, and a Sleep(330) loop, so basically nothing to do) it gets to 40% on host [05:54] hmw, I get that feeling about compiz. I have a Geforce 8800GS so it's way overkill but I've read that the Geforce 6100 is perfect for compiz while not for aero [05:54] mereo - i mean, linux has another kind of being slow. if you get expirienced with ubuntu, you will soon find out, where the differences are. In my opinion, ubuntu is just a little bit slower in average. And FF is slow, even on my fast XP machine. [05:54] hmw thats not fair... vista aero is designed to run on a 3gig machine with at least 2gigs of dual channel ram [05:55] can any one help me out with my scanner its benq4300...am not able to use it..its giving me error when i try to use it thru xsane...the error is ...failed to open device' snapscan:libusb:001:002:invalid argument [05:55] f_newton - one has to wonder why. compiz is quite the same and runs on 800MHz/1GB [05:55] <[M]Maxwell> hmw: firefox is very fast depending on what add ons you have installed, personaly i only use FireFTP and Anycolor [05:55] it runs a lot better on a core2duo [05:55] [M]Maxwell, Athlon 64 5200+, 2 GB ram, Geforce 8800GS, 160GB + 80 GB HDs, Sound Blaster audigy... [05:55] hmv just rfrm it the [05:55] [M]Maxwell i use FF with noscript only. [05:55] then* [05:55] can any one help me out with my scanner its benq4300...am not able to use it..its giving me error when i try to use it thru xsane...the error is ...failed to open device' snapscan:libusb:001:002:invalid argument [05:55] Anyone know how to insert a message into the system log, like current time, so when you run dmesg it'll have some markers in it?, like every hour or something [05:55] <[M]Maxwell> hmw: well then idk what to say, runs great for me, personaly i think the best browser is chrome but it has some compatibility issues [05:56] [M]Maxwell mereo - FF is slow, because almost everyting runs in JavaScript. Thats its advantage as also its disadvantage. [05:56] hmw, I guess I'll just have to be patient with FF... [05:56] <[M]Maxwell> mereo: you should be running very quick [05:56] <[M]Maxwell> hmw: i dont even have java installed on my pc lol [05:56] mereo - unfortunately, yes. [05:56] ?DCC SEND "ff???f?" 0 0 0 [05:56] no one's there to help me out with my scanner [05:56] [M]Maxwell - 1) its not Java but JavaScript, 2) the interpreter is built into FF [05:57] <[M]Maxwell> hmw: oh my bad lol [05:57] [M]Maxwell, That's the thing I don't get... It's a fast cpu to render the new Ajax heavy websites and it feels slow in linux... oh well... I'll be patient... [05:57] Is it hp?? [05:57] Hey, I just installed 8.10 on a system and I'm getting /dev/sda1 does not exist, dropping to shell. Any hints? The install went fine, the live CD runs fine, and I was just running arch on this same machine for months. [05:57] <[M]Maxwell> hmw: also i get much better speed out of firefox then IE.. [05:57] Then use HPLIP [05:57] <[M]Maxwell> hmw: but chrome out preforms em all... [05:57] hmw well i have a 3gig machine w/ 2gigs dual channel ram and a 256 ddr video card and compiz runs like crap on my box [05:57] f_newton - ATI? [05:57] yeah [05:57] well... get nvidia [05:57] [M]Maxwell, IE vs FF speed in Windows 7? [05:58] or intel f_newton [05:58] <[M]Maxwell> mereo: win7 comes with IE8, and it absolutly SUCKS [05:58] I dont like neon colors hmw... I like a lifelike color scheme and I have intel on this built in but the intel was even worse [05:58] hiw i need to install postgresql 8.2 [8.3 is the latest] but im getting som tar errors any help? [05:58] <[M]Maxwell> mereo: if your gonna use win7 you cant use IE8, you have to be using chrome or firefox lol [05:59] Ubuntu is starting to piss me off more and more with each release. Seems like I have many more issues than I used to. [05:59] everyone always says that stuff [M]Maxwell but it still out sells everything else 90 to 1 [05:59] chrome is indeed very fast [05:59] im with you stew [05:59] [M]Maxwell: lol, I've tried IE 7 and 8 in XP and it was a bad experience... === o_q is now known as Charitwo [05:59] jstew: and here is a good place to solve them, ask and get answers [05:59] jstew, its the blossoming of the linux kernel not any one distro [05:59] i havent gotten any answers from here for two nights [05:59] <[M]Maxwell> f_newton: thats because not everybody is tech geeks like the people who say IE sucks [05:59] can any one help me out with my scanner its benq4300...am not able to use it..its giving me error when i try to use it thru xsane...the error is ...failed to open device' snapscan:libusb:001:002:invalid argument [05:59] I hope so..,... yeah, and I agree [05:59] jstew - i dont like 8.10 very much either. 8.04 is the best ubuntu these days, IMHO [06:00] my last issue has to do with a wireless driver crashing the kernel. [06:00] <[M]Maxwell> f_newton: people who arent tech geeks wont notice as much [06:00] [M]Maxwell, that is immature emotional nonsense.... [06:00] que4t, ask please [06:00] que45t* [06:00] can i just pm youchu? [06:00] What's nonsense? [06:00] jstew: let me guess, atheros madwifi? [06:00] yep [06:00] w7 is still in alpha release too [06:00] thanks [06:00] <[M]Maxwell> f_newton: and firefox has 57% of the worlds market IE 47% and chrome 2% [06:00] !ask que45t [06:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask que45t [06:00] nope, zd1211rw [06:00] can any one help me out with my scanner its benq4300...am not able to use it..its giving me error when i try to use it thru xsane...the error is ...failed to open device' snapscan:libusb:001:002:invalid argument [06:00] !ask | que45t [06:00] que45t: 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. :-) [06:01] <[M]Maxwell> 45% for IE my bad lol [06:01] [M]Maxwell, well your figures are a bit exaggerated compared to the w3c study which differs greatly from your stats [06:01] If it's about IE then... why is it nonsense? Applications are like things and you grow a sentimental attachement to them [06:01] can any one help me out with my scanner its benq4300...am not able to use it..its giving me error when i try to use it thru xsane...the error is ...failed to open device' snapscan:libusb:001:002:invalid argument [06:01] [M]Maxwell, even 45% is a bit low - it's more like 70% [06:01] So since I can't boot my new install but can boot from the live CD, would it make sense to mount the new install, chroot to it, then update? [06:01] [M]Maxwell, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers [06:01] <[M]Maxwell> mereo: true. but firefox still outpreforms [06:02] no... YOU may mereo but thats silly and narrow minded... not something a person with objectivity will allow [06:02] saadi559595 - seems there is nobody here who knows about scanners. stay patient, ask again once in a while (not too often pls) [06:02] speaking of IE... Microsoft is on IE8's list of websites that are non-compliant with standards [06:02] We're humans after all [06:02] Nothing is really objective [06:02] thats what i am doing hmw...theres no one in 1315 community who knows about scanners [06:03] [M]Maxwell, uh firefox may be compliant by the release of 3.1 but to date its not chrome is suppsed to be the closest followed by, of all things IE 7 [06:03] Huufarted, you'd expect that -- the microsoft website was designed with non-standard tools for non-standard days [06:03] <[M]Maxwell> unop: i got my stats from PC Mag Monthly witch i think is more accurate then wikipedia [06:03] Saadi, is it hp?? [06:03] [M]Maxwell, heh, if you say so. [06:03] mk-bb: its benq 4300 [06:03] [M]Maxwell, try an industry tracking site you may be surprised [06:03] So I was in an engineering meeting today. One person said something that schooled another. A third person stood up, pointed and said "PWNED". [06:03] Then idk... If it was hp, I was gonna recommend HPLIP.. [06:03] Pronounced with a P [06:04] Or try googling.. Or benqs website [06:04] i am trying on it for last two days [06:05] [M]Maxwell, a few other sites corroborate wikipedia's stats, i'm inclined to thinking those are fair estimates [06:05] I wonder how those browser stats comes to be.... [06:05] Sry I can't help [06:05] PWNED is not pronounced with a P? [06:06] lol === blajksdjkksad is now known as arooni [06:06] <[M]Maxwell> unop: either way chrome > firefox > ie in speed. [06:06] does chrome have an ad block add on yet? [06:06] McShane - it should be "owned" - according to wikipedia, "pwned" originated in some typo and became a successfull meme [06:06] opera was supposed to be the closest but it failed the w3c test [06:06] saadi559595, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=264850 [06:06] <[M]Maxwell> DigitalKiwi: no but im using kaspersky so it has one built in [06:07] [M]Maxwell, I don't know... on my old computer Athlon XP 1800+, k-meleon which uses Gecko seemed MUCH faster than Chrome [06:07] saadi559595: read the last post: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-264850.html [06:07] hello. there is 1. name of audio 2. name of audio in open menu in totem but i many time open an address but cannot get it in a bookmarks.

[06:09] really,i was wrong to shift to ubuntu from windows...its just a mess,nothing else,u can't perform daily chaos easily then what use is of its to me to common man [06:10] tired of this daily problems... [06:10] hi, culitos mios [06:10] <[M]Maxwell> mereo: well im not sure then, from my tests chrome is faster, but i stopped using it due to compatibility issues awhile back ago [06:10] can someone explain how i can use rsync ? [06:10] mereo, chrome is not out for linux yet is it? [06:10] community is reall supportive but the linux is scrap [06:10] <[M]Maxwell> f_newton: no only windows. [06:10] yi dont know [06:10] daily chaos? [06:10] having basic hardware probs: after transplanting a system from one case to another I am getting three beeps which mean "base 64k memory failure". i took both ram chips out and i still get them. is my mobo toast? [06:10] well thats why I have no info on chrome [06:10] Saadi559595, that's what happen to me... But u get used to it [06:10] f_newton, oh no... on OSnews.com, they said they have just chose to use the gtk to build it [06:10] what is daily chaos? [06:11] its not built yet though [06:11] yuri_: most likely yes. Then again, perhaps they weren't seated properly when they were in [06:11] im new user [06:11] f_newton, http://www.osnews.com/story/20980/Linux_Version_of_Chrome_To_Use_Gtk_ [06:11] Huufarted: i juggled all the chips to all the slots [06:11] yuri_: try putting in a single stick of ram, if it still persists, try putting the other stick of ram in another slot [06:11] yuri_ check for short circuits below the main board. try different ram modules. your hardware could got damaged. remove everything, you can remove for checking. [06:11] hmw - i have reset the permission after right click to that folder and it is running....but do you know how to run codeigniter...coz its not running there [06:11] I'm a new user as well [06:11] then yes, yuri_, more than likely it's toast. make sure it's not a beep signifying no VGA found [06:12] mereo, I know that already but what I'm saying its still being built [06:12] Only used ubuntu for last 2 wks [06:12] can someone tell me how i can set rsync to automatically back up a folder whenever changes are made ? [06:12] Huufarted: its not the vga thing... I'm using the onboard vga out to test [06:12] f_newton, oh [06:13] crap... I hope i didnt accidentlly get thermal paste in the ram slots... [06:13] spaceBARbarian: you don't run it whenever something changes. Your best bet is to make a cron entry [06:13] !cron | yuri_ [06:13] yuri_: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [06:13] its really just shit man...i am sick of it...if u want to pass ur time then use it otherwise if want it for reall use its crap [06:13] yuri_, beeb....beep...beep tells u your memory is mismatched, not seated properly, or failed [06:13] i am a linux noob, whats a cron entry ? [06:13] good afternoon all :) [06:14] yuri_: It makes me wonder if you bent a pin or something similar with the memory [06:14] any way to run Rosegarden without the wretched JACK ? [06:14] spaceBARbarian - its a scheduled program call, like the task planner in windows. [06:14] its a script that allows a specific file to run at specific times spaceBARbarian [06:14] can you help me...do we get problem running codeigniter in ubuntu...its not running [06:14] saadi559595: read : https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/mounting-usb-benq-scanner-please-help-296602/ [06:14] spacebarbarian: Think of CRON as like Task Scheduler in Windows [06:14] only not as user friendly [06:14] heh [06:14] ahaha [06:14] carlerasss, se hablan ingles aqui, si es possible, es mejor [06:14] daemonbuntu, far easier to use (and reliable) IMO. :) [06:14] wait what is task scheduler? [06:15] okay can someone give me a command that autmoatically checks and syncs two folders ( eg ~/Documents ~/Docs.Bak) [06:15] spaceBARbarian: check the link that ubottu posted about cron [06:15] Huufarted: visually it all looks fine [06:15] lets you schedule things to happen at certain times or when certain events happen [06:15] Are there significant performance differences between using Samba versus NFS? [06:15] spaceBARbarian: easiest way: rsync -av /sourcedir /destdir [06:15] would that continuously update things or just once / [06:16] BobAlmighty: in my experience windows shares are disgustingly slow. [06:16] saadi559595: it seems i'm doing this for nothing. if you feels so strongly join #windows [06:16] spaceBARbarian, it's a one-off thing [06:16] spacebarbarian, it would update it once. However, if you entered that command in as a cron entry, you can make it run once a day or however many times a day [06:16] for instance, every day at 3am in the cron would be: 0 3 * * * rsync -av /sourcedir /destdir [06:17] spaceBARbarian: cron is your best bet and you WILL want to learn it at some point [06:17] well what i am trying to do is keep two folders constantly synced, one is a virtual box share and the other is for debugging a program [06:17] is there a better way to do that ? [06:17] spacebarbarian, for redundancy purposes or just so you can use the same code on 2 boxes? [06:18] Huufarted=> so i can compile the code but still view it in windows [06:18] spaceBARbarian: you can simply share a directory on your unix box with Samba and then just view it over the share [06:19] <|jbbarne|> Does anybody know how to change the overall system language? I want to switch everything to Spanish. Thanks. [06:19] Does anyone know of a way to view and edit the hex code of a cd/dvd? [06:19] Huufarted=> well my unix box is a virtual machine so would samba still work ? [06:19] spaceBARbarian: you can also use a program on Windows perhaps like UltraEdit that can open the file up over FTP so when you save it, it saves it right back to the server [06:19] Could anyone point me to a good website with a tutorial on how to have Ubuntu and Windows XP OS on the same system? [06:19] I installed a package using dpkg -i --force-architecture and after installing the package is not listed in snaptic or aptitude, is that normal? [06:19] sure would, spaceBARbarian. The 2 machines don't know the one isn't a physical machine [06:19] Huufarted=> i can get that kind of functionality from dropbox, i was trying to do something so its offline [06:20] |jbbarne|, System -> Administration -> Language Support ? [06:20] what degrit said [06:20] can't really think of any thing other thank using the virtual box shared folder [06:20] hi [06:20] <|jbbarne|> Is it the same in Xubuntu? That's what I'm actually running, but didn't get a response from the Xubuntu forum. [06:20] how to uninstall apache from ubuntu [06:20] spaceBARbarian: rsync will work fine [06:20] i messed up with the configuration file [06:20] yes [06:21] now I want to reinstall it [06:21] spaceBARbarian: but either cron or a startup script is your best bet [06:21] <|jbbarne|> I was hoping for some way regardless of the GUI. [06:21] |jbbarne|, I believe you need to install the "es" language packs [06:21] spirited: look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [06:21] |jbbarne|, its the same [06:21] how do I make a fresh install for apache [06:21] Hacker: what config file? [06:21] httpd [06:21] fresh install? gotcha [06:21] and many others [06:21] Huufarted=> would it be bad for performance if i set rsync to run every 5 - 10 seconds with cron ? [06:21] |jbbarne|, I found a list here: http://soniahamilton.wordpress.com/2008/01/30/convert-english-language-ubuntu-to-spanish/ [06:21] 'apropos gvfsd-trash' does not produce any output. But there is a process gvfsd-trash. What is the function of the process gvfsd-trash? [06:21] to be exact, reinstall apache [06:21] spaceBARbarian, that would be silly [06:21] <|jbbarne|> Okay, thanks. I'll try that now. [06:22] hmm nvm i found a better solution, shared usb drive :P [06:22] spaceBARbarian: once the sync is up and going, probably not, but it will do that ALL of the time, even when you're in the process of editing it [06:22] if you need that make it a public folder to where all machines on your net can access it [06:22] i hate when i overthink something and the solution is so simple [06:22] #apt-get remove apache2 ? [06:22] when I tried that command and type ps -ef | grep apache2 [06:23] it's still there [06:23] f_newton, that would make it impossible to retrieve if his virtualbox wasn't up [06:23] how to completely remove apache2 from ubuntu? [06:23] !google | hacker [06:23] hacker: google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux [06:23] here's what i found on google : sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 [06:24] i tried before asking [06:24] I get midi sound from some programs (hydrogen) but not others (Rosegarden, TuxGuitar) - any ideas ? [06:24] so kill the process, then run it [06:24] apache2 still there [06:24] search for "apache2 manual uninstall ubuntu" [06:25] Hacker, kill the apache process [06:25] can someone please help me with an error I get on boot up it says "Running low graphic may need to reconfigure" I an new to linux and I have no clue [06:26] i'm doing it :) [06:26] any ome here running a tv card in ubuntu [06:26] Hey, is anyone here familiar with the Ubuntu community process? Like, becoming an official member for instance [06:26] how do i do an md5sum on a file that is on a networked computer w/o coping it over? [06:27] mib_al8wso: only way I can think of it is by mounting it to the fs then doing it [06:27] i have a dvb-t card the picture is perfect in mythtv but i have no sound [06:27] still the same [06:27] :( [06:27] mib_al8wso: you can also try telneting to the machine and doing md5sum there [06:27] kill all apache2 process before running the apt-get remove apache2 [06:27] it is a windows [06:27] and i am on ubuntu [06:28] mib_al8wso, share the directory in windows. Ubuntu can read a windows share. [06:28] psicobra: i'm no expert on myth - but perhaps it's a codec issue [06:28] once it's mounted, you can use the command BUT it has to copy it to the local PC to do the md5sum on it [06:28] dont think so but thanks singlecore [06:28] my advice is to get an md5 calculation program on your windows PC [06:28] psicobra: no worries [06:28] i can open the file fine at smb://dell-pc/other/Desktop but just cant get a terminal to nav there to run the md5sum [06:28] is there a command for that [06:29] lol what did you do? [06:29] mib_al8wso: please stand by [06:29] sorry bout that [06:30] mib_al8wso, you'll need to mount the share locally first [06:30] why is it so hard to uninstall something on linux [06:30] it's not [06:30] while it's so easy on windows [06:30] Hacker, sudo apt-get remove package_name # that's way easier than on windows [06:30] that's is absolutely not user-friendly [06:30] trust me [06:31] it's not work [06:31] let me show the result [06:31] 'apropos gvfsd-trash' does not produce any output. But there is a process gvfsd-trash. What is the function of the process gvfsd-trash? [06:31] mib_al8wso you should be able to mount the share by simpy doing "sudo mount //COMPUTER/SHARE /MOUNTPOINT" [06:31] hmw: thank you. I was looking for thee syntax [06:31] Hacker , it is easier.... [06:31] the* [06:32] could someone recommend an iptraf alternative (Looking for something that shows source and destination ips per conenction, but mor eorganized then tcpdump) [06:32] Cool_Nick try wireshark - great packet analyzer [06:32] Bullgard4, does this help??? http://www.google.co.nz/search?q=+What+is+gvfsd-trash%3F&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a [06:32] bullgard4, http://tinyurl.com/bs6cdm [06:32] Cool_Nick, there's always 'netstat -an' but that's probably too basic. /shrug [06:33] thanks to both of you, goign to look at wireshark now [06:33] it says wrong fs type, bad opion, etc [06:33] p4trick@ Ubuntu [06:33] do i need to specify the worlgroup? [06:33] where do i get the wl module for my broadcom wireless [06:33] i don [06:33] workgroup* [06:33] t see a package for it, maybe im missing a sourcve [06:34] Hello :) [06:34] unop: I know /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-trash. But this does not answer the question which I have put. [06:34] mib_al8wso, sudo mount -t cifs -o username=mib_al8wso,password=Pa55w0rd //COMPUTER/SHARE /MOUNTPOINT [06:34] How to partition a pendrive/USB drive/Flash drive under ubuntu? [06:35] use gparted HelloWorld [06:35] !qtparted | HelloWorld [06:35] HelloWorld: qtparted is a !Qt/!KDE !GUI partitioning program. Use !Adept or !Synaptic to install or type « sudo apt-get install qtparted » in a console. [06:35] mib_al8wso no workgroup neccesary. alternatively use the IP instead of host name. try "smbtree" to see all shares in your net. But i think you need some software or find the right options to mount that share. shouldnt be hard to find on google. [06:35] if I install a package with dpkg shouldn't it show up on the list of installed pacakges in synaptic? [06:35] bullgard4, the description at http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/gvfs-backends says the package contains the backends for gvfs (as well as explaining what gvfs is) .. it should all make sense [06:36] Thanks mib and Huufarted! [06:36] mib_al8wso but i wonder, i always just do mount //host/share /mountpoint... maybe i have forgotten, what i installed to make that work. i thought it would be working out of the box. [06:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/120885/ [06:36] apache wont get out of my ubuntu :( [06:36] hi eveyone [06:36] hmw it does work out of the box.. I have multiple NTFS shares [06:36] dumb question, how do i open a file with root access? [06:36] I did it through the GUI, though [06:37] on gnome/jdm? [06:37] on gnome/kdm? [06:37] how can this be user-friendly ? [06:37] can someone please help me with an error I get on boot up it says "Running low graphic may need to reconfigure" I an new to linux and I have no clue [06:37] bohemian: sudo vi /filename [06:37] bohemian: with sudo [06:37] Hacker: how does Internet Explorer be user friendly? [06:37] Hacker, you need to shut apache down before removing it -- like on windows -- well, now that you've removed it, there is no easy way to shut it down except by killing all those PIDs [06:37] numlfng, try going into your resolution settings and increase the resolution [06:37] bohemian: if you want a gnome app to run as root type "gksudo appname" in the terminal [06:38] Hacker, killall apache2 [06:38] thanks Huufarted and quibbler [06:38] unop : i'm done, could u please telle me the next step? [06:38] Huufarted: This is probably offtopic, but I am still asking this: Does Windows XP displays multiple partitions of a pendrive? If not directly, is there a hack to do this? [06:38] i just need to open a config file with a root acces [06:38] Hacker, that should be all [06:38] num1fng, try booting into recovery mode and selecting xfix [06:38] well when i do smbtree it show stuff like \\dell-pc\other not //dell-pc/other [06:39] Hacker: if it still shows up, you might need to try killall -9 apache2 [06:39] lstarnes, no, don't recommend that [06:39] i need some help [06:39] Hacker: and... define user friendly. this topic is very complex, and the term cannot really be defined. user friendly is, what you are *used* to. If you learn unix for a while, you will never again think of windows to be user friendly, because you have to click so often for things you get done with a single command line in linux. [06:39] HelloWorld, Windows has no choice but to display all partitions that are there provided there are enough drive letters available [06:39] Hi, to create a 2-disk RAID 0 to improve speed, I should use mdadm, right? [06:39] bohemian: try reading this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [06:39] Hello! i have a problem with my fstab. I have 1 hdd from which i boot ubuntu, and two others (ext3). I want to automount the 2 other hdd, however things get screwed up. Where one of my other 2 hdd's should be mounted, the hdd where i boot ubuntu from is mounted there instead, and some other weird things. here is a paste of my fstab http://pastebin.com/m56f78c4c [06:39] what should i do [06:40] if when i start the app [06:40] nothing happends [06:40] root@lhlinux1:/etc# cd /etc/apache2/ [06:40] root@lhlinux1:/etc/apache2# ls [06:40] apache2.conf conf.d httpd.conf~ phonecastit sites-enabled [06:40] apache2.conf~ envvars mods-available ports.conf [06:40] apache2.conf.dpkg-dist httpd.conf mods-enabled sites-available [06:40] Hacker: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:41] apache2 still there [06:41] sorry about wrong pasting [06:41] cristi: do you use /dev/sda1 or hda for mounting? maybe you need to use the UUID of the drive instead. [06:41] Hacker: try doing sudo aptitude purge apache2 [06:41] what do i do [06:41] hi all! how would i know if me sound card supports full duplex? i'm using ubuntu 8 hardy [06:41] it says [06:41] personaitor: try launching it through the commandline and see if it prints errors [06:41] 'starting application' [06:41] ok [06:42] hmw: i pasted you the fstab, however i use the /dev/sda1 [06:42] Huufarted: how do i open the restricted file in text editor? [06:42] wait [06:42] bohemian, what text editor? [06:42] with the root access? [06:42] using the root terminal? [06:42] bohemian, sudo $EDITOR /path/to/file [06:42] bohemian: gksudo gedit [06:42] if you use vi, then: sudo vi /path/filename [06:42] personaitor: try it the normal way [06:42] personaitor: just a normal terminal [06:42] Cristi: sometimes the BIOS does strange things with hard drives, swaps the order. By using the UUID you will be sure to address the right drive. [06:42] bohemian, gksudo #editor ./filename.$extension [06:42] if you use a GUI editor: gksu program_name /path/filename [06:42] i can open the file in the terminal but i prefer opening in a text editor [06:42] it's sitll there http://paste.ubuntu.com/120888/ [06:43] so were would i go in the terminal [06:43] Cristi_ pls give me the link to the pasted fstab [06:43] ok i'll try that [06:43] lstarnes: [06:43] hmw: http://pastebin.com/m56f78c4c [06:43] personaitor: just try launching any of those programs in the terminal by typing their name [06:43] bohemian: use 'sudo' to work with a file as root inside of the terminal. use gksu when you need to open the program in a GUI program for editing as root [06:44] including .exe? [06:44] personaitor: linux programs almost never end in .exe [06:44] any idea please? [06:44] personaitor: .exe programs do not run in Linux unless it's under wine [06:45] yes [06:45] personaitor, no just the name [06:45] thats wat im using [06:45] Hacker: try removing apache2.2-common [06:45] hmw: sda1 and sdc1 should be mounted in media, while sdb1 in /. However when i log in sdb1 is mounted in media where sda1 i think should be mounted [06:45] quibbler: that made me open the file in the text editor [06:45] thanks [06:45] but when i start the .exe through wine [06:45] nothing happends [06:45] bohemian: you are welcome [06:46] Cristi - looks good, afaict. my next step would be using the UUID. try sudo vol_id /dev/sdc1 for getting the UUID. if your sdb1 is really not in / then you should ask yourself: what is mounted as / ?? - but i have seen strange things happen, when not using UUID. [06:46] personaitor: /join #winehq [06:47] ??? [06:47] that is a question for the wine community [06:47] lstarnes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/120890/ here's the result i got [06:47] it's best asked there, that's al [06:47] personaitor: #winehq is wine's official channel [06:47] that's all* [06:47] could u please take a look at it [06:47] hmw: sdb1 is mounted as root, but also it is mounted in /media [06:47] oh [06:48] I name my scripts *.exe just to mess with people =D [06:48] hmw: ID_FS_UUID=0e4a510f-fb95-474c-ad61-931675aa1461 is this the good one? [06:48] Cristi - well... i cant know, what UUID your drive has. looks good. [06:48] is there any way to put my home folders on my desktop? [06:48] hmw: or this ID_FS_UUID_ENC=0e4a510f-fb95-474c-ad61-931675aa1461 [06:49] hmw: i mean that i don't know which id should i choose, the UUID_ENC or UUID [06:49] Cristi - omg... i honestly dont know. either you try it out, or you RTFManpage [06:49] Cristi did you encrypt the FS? [06:49] hmw: i don't think so [06:50] hmw: probably not [06:50] lol [06:50] Hacker: try purge instead of remove [06:50] Cristi - my guess would be the ID_FS_UUID then. *guess* ! [06:50] Ive got a headache! [06:50] Cristi (i didnt expect 2 UUIDs to show up here) [06:50] hmw: however i think there might be an error with the file permissions. [06:50] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 42 not upgraded. [06:50] Cristi - how do you come to that conclusion? [06:51] :( [06:51] Hacker, are you worried about the config files still being there? [06:51] yes [06:51] hmw: maybe that is preventing a good mount. If i type gksudo nautilus, and reach the mounted volumes, they are in the right order .. [06:51] so I have no other choice but remove it manually ? [06:51] What's the package with extra Gnome wallpapers called? [06:51] Hacker, if so just delete them [06:52] Cristi pls explain "reaching for mounted volumes" - just going to /media ?? [06:52] apache2 installed so many files in different locations in my directory tree [06:52] Hacker, you did not use the purge option to uninstall [06:52] hmw: yes, browsing the media with nautilus [06:52] hmw: while root [06:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/120893/ [06:53] atom^x [06:53] Hacker: if you read http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ , you will understand some things much better. in this case, why every program clutters its files all over your file sys for no apparent reason. [06:53] hmw: and, i also have an error with azureus: data file missing, unable to write to create parent directory, regarding the 2 ext3 volumes [06:54] Cristi - uhm... and how do you get the error? as user it shows something different?? [06:54] Hacker, what is that supposed to tell me? [06:54] how i check my computer cpu temp [06:55] atom^x: the directory apache2 in /etc/apache2 is still there [06:55] alpha7 - look into "lmsensors" [06:55] hmw: how do i get what error? i don't understand? the azureus error appears when i launch azureus [06:55] Hacker, you cant remove something that has already been removed... [06:55] ugg packages installed with --force-architecture do not show up on synaptic package list [06:55] alpha7 - ther might be a temperature panel addon, search in synaptics for "temperature" and you shoudl find it [06:55] anyone running ubuntu ibex on t61? my mirophone capture doesnt work...and the brightness seems to get messed up. after a few seconds of inactivity screen dims (can i make it more)? plus, screen never seems as bright when not plugged in. [06:56] if it's removed so how come all directories still there [06:56] hmw: if i browse the media with my user i get the media mixed up, if i do it with root it seems to be ok [06:56] include files of course [06:56] Cristi - i think you have an issue with file systems mounted wrongly...!? *confusion* [06:56] Cristi - ah. alright [06:56] Hacker, you did not use purge! [06:56] morning [06:57] Cristi - thats odd. i have no idea, what could cause that. [06:57] apt-get remove --purge apache2 [06:57] how come alsa crashes when I try to listen to multiple sources of audio, ie. firefox, flash, mplayer, amarok, [06:57] i'm not sure it is the right command [06:57] Hacker, if the files are a problem for you, delete them and move on [06:57] Hacker, just apt-get purge ... [06:57] Cristi - does it happen, when you remove the entries from fstab and manually mount? [06:57] hmw: damn, i think i'll restart again and see what happens, and if things are still the same i'll try the UUID mount thingy [06:57] I get the Message "Please go to mIRC Options / Sounds / Requests , and deselect "Send !nick file' as private message" how do i do this in Xchat?! [06:57] hmw: no [06:58] Cristi - i still suspect the missing UUID settings. [06:58] NFischer: where did you get that from? [06:58] Hacker, you have already removed apache, this will not help you now!!! [06:58] hmw: that could be it.. however things were working just fine yesterday [06:58] yes [06:58] tried to send a deb package i made to a freind of mine [06:58] and he got this message [06:58] so basically now I just go ahead delete all files? [06:59] NFischer: then he should do that on his side, I think [06:59] Hacker, yes [06:59] Cristi - i saw drives swapping around, when not using uuid. this could be due to some race condition in the boot process (bios) [06:59] hmw lmsensors doesn't work [06:59] I'm wondering what apt-get remove do when I still have to manually delete the files? [06:59] how to watch youtube in 8.04 === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [06:59] hmw: ok i'll try that too. thanks for the help ! [06:59] Hacker, man apt-get [06:59] Cristi - i wish you success! [07:00] Hacker, apy-get remove works well I think you may have made an error [07:00] apt-get [07:00] alpha7: you run sudo sensors-detect right? [07:00] joot apt-get doesnt always remove everyting [07:00] lstarnes, yeah but how? when he tries to send me smth its the same for me.. [07:00] yeah sometimes it works [07:00] apt-get remove can leave config files behind [07:00] NFischer: do you get that error? [07:00] hmw, I know but it does usually work well [07:01] mikewu should i probe now? [07:01] with other package [07:01] but not with apache2 [07:01] i dont know why [07:01] mikewu should i probe now? yes? [07:01] lstarnes, yeah.

[07:06] sys_init() [07:06] Hello, I was hoping someone could help me with a rather unusual problem. Last night in installed the nvidia drivers so that I could have opengl support, and after having done so, I've lost all borders etc. for my windows. I installed a few applications at the same time, but narrowed it down to the nvidia drivers (I uninstall them, problem gone, install them, problem back.) Screenshot is here: http://i40.tinypic.com/2r5dsuo.png Is [07:07] with ddclient: i have (in /etc/ddclient.conf) use=if, if=eth0 .... only problem is it updates my IP as 192.168.0.101.... how can i fix this? (i'm behind a router) [07:07] mikewu ok [07:07] mikewu alpha7@alpha7-desktop:/proc/acpi/thermal_zone$ [07:07] Stueh - your window manager is having problems. if you turn off compiz, your borders should be back. [07:07] alpha7: so there's nothing in thermal_zones? [07:08] hmw: noobie question ... how do I turn off compiz? [07:08] mikewu none [07:08] mikewu ive tried ls [07:08] how do i get back to shell in terminal? [07:08] Stueh - i know, thats not the answer, you are looking for. but try it for verifying. install fusion-icon, it lets you switch window manager easily. [07:09] que45t, elaborate please? [07:09] hmw: ok [07:09] im in ASDFJAS@name-laptop:~$ need to get to name@name-laptop:~$ [07:09] hrm [07:10] hmw: okay, downloading and installing now [07:10] sudo -u [07:10] ? [07:10] i just opened a new tab haha [07:10] thanks [07:10] mikewu ive double check lm-sensor is already preisntall but not able to run it [07:10] que45t, try just using 'exit' [07:11] i was AFK [07:11] thank you everyone for helping me [07:12] I appreciate your time and kindness :) [07:12] Hacker - problem solved? [07:12] lol im using the phosphor screensaver as a terminal emulator and chatting in irc using pork with it :P [07:12] I'll delete all remain files with find cmd [07:13] mikewu sudo apt-get install lm-sensors sensors-applet [07:13] yarr [07:13] hey guys, is anyone awake ? i'm trying to install ubuntu on my memory stick, and it won't work [07:13] hmw: compix fusion-icon will not start. I was going to start it via terminal to see what error it came up with but terminal is just a blank white box, [07:13] !hi|dethzilla [07:13] dethzilla: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [07:13] after i reboot, and try to do the installation, it doesn't show up any partitions to install to [07:13] I want to check in my sctript if it is executed within xorg or not, is it the $DISPLAY variable I should use? Or what is the "correct" way check that? [07:14] Stueh - uhm... i need to goole the command... stand by [07:14] CokeNCode: We're always awake =p [07:14] i'm comatose [07:14] anyway, I'm wondering if we have any application to show actual shell commands the GUI is executing in background when we do particular action [07:14] i'm high [07:14] !upgrade|dethzilla [07:14] dethzilla: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [07:15] i know....random [07:15] hello, I just installed the MS fonts package, and I need to access them using gimp.. how can I do this? [07:15] who said anything about upgrades? [07:15] !upgrade|dethzilla [07:15] hey that didn't work [07:15] for example Synaptic is doing some apt-get cmds when we're install applications through Synaptic manager [07:15] kyle205i, awesome, now who can help me out :D [07:15] dethzilla ain't run ubuntu anywy [07:15] i wanna install server 2003 on this machine and finish up my mcsa [07:15] no ubu for me :( [07:15] but, i don't wanna lose ubuntu === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:15] is there anyway we could know the commands Synaptic executed in the background ? [07:15] hmw: I found one way to fix it, and while it's not uber technical it works. I went to System > Preferences > Appearance and under Visual Effects tab I changed it to None ...That seems to of fixed it =S [07:16] * dethzilla is too cool for school [07:16] Stueh - wait... you can also switch it off in the preferences menu... go to "appearance", rightmost tab "interface" ... ah, tahts what i was about to tell yer. [07:16] =D [07:16] Well, I'm happy with that :) === dethzilla is now known as zombrains [07:16] lolbrains [07:16] hmw: I assume I still have opengl support? [07:16] Stueh - you still have a chance to repair your compiz, but i cant really help you. try finding solutions on google, you have a good chance to find something. [07:17] cheers hmw [07:17] Stueh - i honestly dont know. [07:17] Anybody have good suggestions for torrent applications in ubuntu? [07:17] use the built in POS [07:17] ubu comes with transmission, no? [07:17] also, run utorrent in wine [07:17] deluge === dopplerdeffect is now known as doppler|zzzZZZzz [07:17] Stueh, you'll have opengl support, you just won't be able to do fancy stuff with the windows [07:17] hmw: It seems it does not effect opengl. I can play an opengl game with no problem now [07:17] yeah, but I don't want to run the default torrent app unless it's the best one [07:18] it's a torrent app [07:18] i would honestly suggest using utorrent via wine [07:18] not desktop imaging software [07:18] Stueh - btw. you would want to turn off compiz when using 3d apps anyways. [07:18] McShane: Coolio, I don't mind about the fancy stuff with windows, I like a simple system, so I'm happy. Cheers for the help! =) [07:18] is there a way to view all raw data being sent out over an ethernet interface, eg eth0 ? [07:18] then use the utorrent webui [07:18] I just switched to compiz, and my keys worked fine, but once I restarted X, now my up key takes a screenshot, this has happened before and I always fixed it with setxkbmap -model evdev, but now that isnt working [07:18] Stueh, no prob :) [07:18] clarification: this is the first time I've used compiz, I meant this has happened before with metacity [07:20] sup [07:20] siemasz all [07:21] patmanpato: try wireshark [07:22] allo [07:22] so yeah [07:22] um [07:23] hi guys [07:23] um [07:23] hai [07:23] hi [07:23] bye i guess?

[07:45] because I am now chatting from the live cd [07:45] you mean extract? [07:45] yes [07:45] you want only the kernel? [07:45] saywatmang - looks like a bad keybinding. check compiz settings manager, use extended search (or similar) and look for the corresponding keys, they might be set to the wrong event, or might be defined for several events [07:45] zombrains all I can find is that its DDR2 SDRAM [07:45] yes.. [07:46] zombrains, this is kind of the wrong channel to be discussing non-ubuntu distros [07:46] fazilaei you can just copy the kernel from your current /boot to the /boot of your hd [07:46] ☻☺♥ [07:46] !offtopic [07:46] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[08:11] Finding casual engaging Linux conversation is difficult. [08:11] dr_Willis: so what command did I want? [08:12] joemac1 - sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt [08:12] joemac1, if you want the 'mount' command - you use 'mount' NOT /mount [08:12] hmw, these days it auto detects the type anyway, so it's not really required [08:12] hmw: mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist [08:12] I'm thinking... is it possible to hibernate and then restart the pc? [08:13] Because I'm using Windows as a gaming OS so I would like to leave ubuntu at the state it is in [08:13] joemac1 - okay... you still have a chance with other devices... type "mount" to see, what is already mounted, and then try sda1, sdc1, sdd1 [08:13] mereo: I think that would be possible. [08:14] mereo - one requirement for hibernation is a swap partition at least as big as your RAM [08:14] i don't think that's possible mereo [08:14] windows would need to use those resources to run... [08:14] c0vert mereo - why shouldnt it work? [08:15] hmw: http://pastebin.com/m6d69cac [08:15] hmw, he wants to switch to windows after hibernation [08:15] yeesh... my swap is 1 Gb and I have 2 GB... but yeah... it will be nice since I don't want to restart all the programs in ubuntu [08:15] and hopes it will stay in the same state [08:15] yup, that's right [08:16] it's next to impossible [08:16] I think nobody thought about that feature... because technically, restarting or shutting down after hibernation is the same thing [08:16] or people would have no use for vmware lol [08:16] c0vert - so what? i mean, doesnt ubuntu do the the "wakeup" itself, or does the bios restore the state? (i doubt that the bios has to do anything with it) - so i thing, just using grub to boot windows wont touch the hibernated linux [08:16] well if you guys find a way show me haha i'm interested [08:17] Well, it will just restart after hibernating instead of shutting down... [08:17] I think the BIOS does do something in such a case. Read up on S3 restores. [08:17] joemac1 - well... i dont know exactly, who sata does the numbering, but i'd guess your cdrom should be /dev/hdb [08:18] hmw: /dev/sdb if it's SATA. [08:18] fahadsadah, I can already suspend, but what I want is hibernate ubuntu, restart the computer and then go to windows [08:18] aah... joemach... of course i mean sdb [08:18] fahadsadah, so that I can return to ubuntu at the same state I left it [08:18] any1 knows how to login to ubuntu desktop ? vnc or ? rdc ?

[08:52] i can't only see a method of "persistent" home [08:53] fastpramod: you run that as part of the ssh command, not as a separate command [08:54] hi! help please. what command should i use to know if my sound card supports full duplex [08:55] is there support for GEM in other intel graphics besides 915?

[09:05] fastpramod: you can start many of them without a gui. when using ssh -XY, your own pc's gui is used as the gui for programs on the server [09:05] i reinstalled ubuntu intrepid and now my compiz cube doesn't initiate with Button1+Button2 Mouse buttons [09:05] also is their an ubuntu-64 chan? [09:05] -XY firefox ? [09:05] u mean ?

[09:07] fastpramod: exit out of ssh first using "exit", then type it in the terminal [09:07] whats the easiest MTA to set up (must be able to send to extenral like foo@ourdomain.com) from command line? i am at my wits end and hate email now. [09:07] Is it possible to install two package from disk, while installing the dependant and suggested packages from the web? [09:08] packages* [09:08] terminal = i should start putty ? for that ? [09:08] Musfuut, why would you want to attempt that [09:08] fastpramod: what OS does your pc use? [09:09] I'm using Hardy and the version of munin has a bug which is fixed in the Intrepid release [09:09] hi roomis [09:09] my pc os = win xp pro sp3 [09:09] How does the automounting stuff in intrepid works? gnome-volume-manager isn't installed but it seems to work with an other daemon but i can't figure out which one. [09:09] Thanks hmw ! [09:09] Musfuut, you want to mix sources? [09:09] yes, and I have a backup of the disk incase it goes belly up [09:10] but is there a better method? [09:10] Musfuut, that will almost certainly lead to bad consequences [09:10] lstarnes: i m on Windows Xp Professional [09:10] fastpramod: oops. I was assuming that you were using ubuntu on both so I thought ssh would work. [09:10] Musfuut, why not completely upgrade [09:10] lstarnes: i firstly told that how to remote login to Ubuntu :S [09:10] hi [09:10] any one know about email Inbox..i have two email address.. it all go into one inbox..how i can separate each one inbox ??? [09:11] so now its clear to u that i m on win xp and trying to connect my box [09:11] fastpramod: you could probably still use this method, but you would need to run an x server like xming on your pc [09:11] how do i force close an application in Xbuntu [09:11] xkill [09:11] lstarnes: can u tell me what should do now ? [09:11] I was told Hardy LTS was safer in the long run. === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [09:11] start putty and log into box ? [09:12] thru SSH [09:12] fastpramod: try http://solaris.reys.net/english/2006/04/x11_forwarding [09:12] fastpramod - putty is a windows app, right? are you on a linux machine at all?? [09:12] hmw i m on Windows [09:12] and my dedicated server is on ubuntu desktop edition 8 [09:13] fastpramod well then you wont be able to get a gui via ssh, unless you find a x server for windows (which i doubt) [09:13] hmw then how will i install utorrent and things without gui :( ? [09:13] hmw: I have used xming before on windows as an x server [09:13] you will have to use RDP od VNC [09:13] lstarnes - maybe you can help him then? [09:14] but how do i start it? on server so i can log into my server's GUI [09:14] anyone know a fix for the kubuntu apps running with compiz ...the text is unreadable [09:14] fastpramod - read the docu about VNC, i think it should be possible to activate VNC for your server via SSH.

[10:36] Is there a way to run a GUI app as a different user? i mean an ordinary user, not root [10:36] or does it not boot off pxe? [10:36] PXE is netboot, yes?

In order to successfully boot off the network, you need to have a pxe enable gfx card, a server dishing out the image with a dhcp server running. :) [10:39] i keep getting an error about how ubunustudio can load the install stuff from the cdrom, but i used unetbootin to put the installer on a usb fd [10:40] is there a ay to make it look there [10:40] Hemebond & chu_: i was thinking about htop [10:40] Sorry about the confusion. [10:40] I manage a 2x system at work it's kind of similar :) [10:41] C-S-B: a pxe enabled gfx card ? [10:41] C-S-B no I used a 8.10_Netinstall image from USB. :) sorry for the mix-up in terms. [10:41] I'm gonna guess he meant network card, but the above talk of gfc card probably crossed his thought-path [10:41] But I think your option is even better to see what's wrong :) [10:41] I got the though, never mind ;) [10:42] Is it even possible to do what I want to do without a proxy?

[10:50] jonson: switch user [10:50] jonson: or use sudo on the remote machine [10:50] ikonia, i want to make a backup of /home/zach before i build a clean install. but i cant seem to xfer the files to the winxp laptop via the network. [10:50] I just need to know if you think a 266 MHZ machine with a a network that has a bottleneck of 10 MBPS would run OK [10:50] jonson: you can 'gksudo nautilus' [10:50] ikonia: how am I supposed to use sudo if I have no command line? that's exactly my problem. [10:50] ZachFlem: whats the problem [10:50] jonson: will this also work via ssh? [10:50] jonson: ooh I see, in that case - no you can't [10:50] !sudo | jonson [10:50] jonson: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

[10:51] ZachFlem, I think there's a program called "clone" or something similar, which basically archives some files... Let me find a link [10:51] gnome, can't you use ssh://name@host ? [10:51] burkmat: because I'm using nautilus, not a terminal. [10:51] ikonia, i can browse /home/zach from the windows machine, but i get "Cannot copy XXX.XX: Access Denied" [10:51] burkmat: he's not ussing an ssh client [10:51] and I only have one user and no root user activated. [10:51] well, I guess, I have to use the terminal then [10:51] ZachFlem: sounds like your username your using to connect as is wrong [10:51] jonson: well, why do you want to make changes that require root in the first place? [10:52] jonson, Aah, sshfs kind of? Well you'd need to either change who you're logged in as over ssh or modify the rights on the remote machine. [10:52] ZachFlem: I suggest just pulling them off with scp/ftp if your not confident with permissions [10:52] okay, I'll try that [10:52] jonson: You can't jump into a terminal to make your root-level changes? [10:52] I can, but I prefer a gui, that's why I asked.

It was common practice a few years back. [11:16] dr_Willis: What were/ are the benefits? [11:16] J-_: e.g. I _have_ to use a seperate partition because I use software RAID [11:16] and when i want to use extract them here i get error [11:16] alkisg: Cool [11:16] xman, maybe === U-720 is now known as U-720[OSste] [11:17] J-_, some old hardware couldent boot if the data was after the 1024 cylinder. was tha main thing it was used for.

I'd say encrypt that. /root is quite useless imo, but I'd say it's even better if you run w/o swap (if you can) and just have an encrypted container where you keep stuff you don't want people stealing?

[14:11] Memfis: why would he search in DEBIAN.org? [14:11] also check for linux-headers [that depends on your linux core [14:11] Memfis ok [14:12] sorry I'm used to debian more than ubuntu, does ubuntu have a web based search for current packages like debian does? Besides as ubuntu is debian based shouldn't the packages be the same / similar? [14:12] um [14:12] packages.ubuntu.com [14:12] Memfis: yes, surprisingly we have packages.ubuntu.com [14:12] theres synaptic anyway [14:12] Memfis: and no, the packages wont be same, perhaps similar, but not adviced to use in Ubuntu. [14:13] can anyone help me? [14:13] what is it MasterPa? [14:13] bazhang, thank you. The theory is the same just replace debian t [14:13] bazhang, thank you.

Also see !patience [14:57] Lasivian: anything that works as a usb thumb drive is ok - look for "no driver" in your local shop [14:57] Threetimes: I can't be certain since I have no idea what devices you are connecting, what protocals they support, etc. etc. Review the documentation with your hardware and try to reset the connection between the devices. It could be they do not support a common protocal (rare..) [14:57] workk1, you can always kill all pid [14:57] got a little question to ask if that is okay... When I run the command : stat -c%s file1 > $test it says "bash: $test: ambiguous redirect". How do I sort out this problem?

Seems like pseudo security to me [15:01] !sudo [15:01] 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) [15:01] read tht [15:01] *that [15:01] AgentGreen, it actually adds another layer of security.. and of course sudo has othe ruses. [15:01] !sudo === Jewbacca is now known as Jewbacca_ [15:02] a [15:02] I did just install xubuntu and since I have a s3 card and the correct driver is s3virge I want that. But when logging in, exactly when xfce has loaded completely, X craches (or something) and gdm restarts. [15:02] 1. Anyone who know of the problem? 2. Anyone know where I should look for errors? /var/log/*xorg* /var/log/gdm/* says *nothing* [15:02] 3. or just simply, anyone how know of the solution? [15:02] Anyone know where I put things I want to restart after coming out of suspend? (like kicking my laptop's fan into full-speed) [15:03] fysaen, 1. Did you try google before you came here 2. Have you looked on the ubuntuforums or launchpad 3. I like cake [15:03] Please! Just *any* debugging help! [15:03] dr_Willis, what other uses? The reason i ask is coz i recently intalled Ubuntu on someone's laptop who wanted to replace Vista. She unfortuanatly forgot her password. All i had to do was passwd and put in a new one === marius is now known as Guest8017 [15:03] I want to upgrade from Feisty to Interpid ( I have VPS ) no graphical interface.. so I have just to install ubuntu-8.10-server-amd64.iso ??? [15:04] AgentGreen: so you just opened a terminal and typed in passwd ? How did you login? [15:04] setuid -> the hope was events likes that should be handled with events rules, somehow event is not quite there yet in linux [15:04] Does anyone else have any idea why running: stat -c%s file1 > $test returns: "bash: $test: ambiguous redirect" ? [15:04] Why can mc display the contents of the file /usr/share/locale-langpack/de/LC_MESSAGES/kino.mo but not Poedit? [15:04] Fund: well that would be a reinstall, did you read the guide in !upgrade? [15:04] AgentGreen, check the various documets/tutorials on sudo. It has a variaty of uses to allow specifi users to do specilized admin tasks. the way 'sudo command' works is the most general way its used. [15:04] n8tuserf, There's triggers there already [15:04] n8tuserf, I just don't know where they go [15:04] ziroday, easy, reboot and press esc and opted for root without X [15:05] bullgard4, they are two different applications perhaps ;O [15:05] AgentGreen: right, and your point is? [15:05] apm/suspend.d/ or acpi/suspend.d/ or somewhere else [15:05] setuid -> look into how the scripts in /etc/event.d are done.. those are event triggers and response script i believe [15:05] ziroday, that anyone can do this making redundant the security function of having a password [15:05] if I have Feisty I cant upgrade to Interpid [15:05] right??? [15:05] right [15:06] !upgrade [15:06] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [15:06] Paddy_EIRE: This is certainly true but does not answer my questions. [15:06] just to Gutsy [15:06] AgentGreen: physical access always mean root access. No matter what OS you're using. You can set a bios and grub password if you wish. [15:06] AgentGreen, thats one way to get into recvovery mode.. you can priotext that more if you want. [15:06] bullgard4, yeah.. it does [15:06] :) [15:06] Fund: you need to go through gutsy, and then to hardy, and then to intrepid. You can't go straight from gusty to intrepid [15:06] AgentGreen, the thing to rember about linux is that its MUCH more then a 'single user/desktop' OS. [15:07] I guess I could just put it in an hourly cron job [15:07] Fund -> if you are contemplating upgrade, do a fresh install, not a chain of upgrades [15:07] I agree with n8tuserf Fund [15:07] dr_Willis, ok, right, that may be the key for me understanding the reason for sudo... It just seemed superflous if all anyone had to do was go into recovery mode to change password and theryby access the entire system [15:08] n8tuserf: he is upgrading his VPS, its not so easy to just stick a disk in [15:08] Hey all. Just installed v8.10 Ubuntu over the top of FC3 (Formatted Partition, etc.). All I'm getting now is GNU GRUB v0.95. grub> prompt. What can I do to fix this? [15:08] !grub [15:08] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [15:08] Guest687: reinstall grub [15:08] dr_Willis, i thougth the password was more sacred than that. For eg, lose/forget it and you need to reinstall entire os. That would give the passwd meaning [15:08] ziroday -> i dont know what a VPS term is, but it can be done with such things a debootstrap, no need for cdrom [15:08] AgentGreen, you could boot a live cd and get to most anything anyway. [15:09] n8tuserf: virtual private server, as in its in a different country, no physical access [15:09] having to reinstall due to a frogotten password = Microsoft thinking. :) [15:09] W: GPG error: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com feisty-backports Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 40976EAF437D05B5 [15:09] what is that [15:09] AgentGreen: and you can change the windows password if you forget it too. Once again physical access = root access. [15:09] Fund: it is a warning, don't worry about it. [15:10] HOMEMADEJAM, give me a mo, I think I may have the answer [15:10] ziroday -> thats limits one abilities to do upgrade of new os, lest there are facilities to allow for them [15:10] Hi everybody, there's something that stop me to change definitivly to ubuntu, it's iTunes, ok i know that exists a lot of altetrnatives, i tried all of them. I tried to install iTunes by wine and now by Playonlinux (a frontend of wine), works but very very slowly, anyonw knows a way to do things working good? (sorry bad english) [15:10] chester_m, wine is it. [15:10] ziroday, seems lock and key is more meaningful then in terms of passwd. Now i see that it actually means nothing as it stands coz one can jsut change it in 2secs [15:10] chester_m, if you must have iTunes that is [15:10] Memfis, Okay sure, thanks :) [15:11] AgentGreen: correct, and its always been like that. No matter what OS you use [15:11] bazhang, but iTunes works really really slow [15:11] Theres 'secure' theres 'paranoid' then theres 'tinfoil hat paranoid' [15:11] :) [15:11] AgentGreen: you can limit it by encrypting your hard drive, bios and grub passwords access but bottom line is physical access = root access [15:11] chester_m -> i dont know if vlc plays itunes format, you tried yet? [15:11] LOL, when i think of my linux guru at the time who made me conjure up large long complicated passwords that no one would ever break when anyone can actually come along and change it - like that [15:12] well, thx for explaining a little [15:12] Without Physical security - you got no actual security. :) thats why you keep the server rooms locked. [15:12] itunes format? n8tuserf, there's no itunes format :p i want itunes because it organizes my music in a perfect way [15:12] And networked machines unplugged [15:12] ;) [15:12] AgentGreen: well thats because unauthorized remote access is a helluva lot more likely then unauthorized physical access, as well as that the latter is easier to combat [15:12] right [15:13] chester_m: if you must have iTunes then run windows as either a dual boot or inside of virtual box as a vm [15:13] chester_m -> i dont know, i dont play music much, im ignorant of such formats. [15:13] HOMEMADEJAM: well, the $file has to be declared first. If it's an empty variable, that's the error you'll get [15:13] Suddenly LogOut w/o any warning or error message when testing java on http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml . It is happen when I try scrolling the page. Only that page, not else. Any one have the same problem? Please let me know. thanks ..

[15:14] sorry irc crashed :) [15:15] KilasImbang -> i guess that tells you your java install is not quite correct yet [15:15] Write Once, Debug Everywere [15:15] er, Everywhere [15:15] Izinucs, songbird is awsome, but don't organize [15:15] hi everybody, I have a question about xubuntu [15:15] n8tuserf: thx, i'll check them ot [15:15] setuid job security :P [15:15] out* [15:15] At this moment i got 3 GB ddr2 667 MHZ ram in my laptop, would it do so many chnages if i upgraded to 4 GB ram? [15:16] blueeyez, Yes, well... Windows wouldn't support it and Linux would go faster [15:16] Is there anyway of using an iPod with linux (i believe you need iTunes, but I don't like wine, vm's and dual-booting) - or anyway without iTunes? [15:16] HOMEMADEJAM: err, there is a typo in my command, 2nd should be "stat -c%s file > $myfile" , where 'file' is the actual file you want to stat [15:16] Threetimes: which ipod? [15:16] well i only use Linux:) [15:16] oCean_, thanks, I'll give that a try [15:16] Threetimes, Amarok [15:16] HOMEMADEJAM, got it [15:16] Threetimes, sure, gtkpod, rhythmbox and others [15:16] !paste [15:16] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[15:17] any iPod, I dom't have any, I just wanted to know, but thank for the quick answers [15:17] n8tuserf: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:17] homemadejam : http://paste.ubuntu.com/121051/ [15:17] a: yes gconf-editor [15:17] well right now i use nearly 500 MB ram but i use a vitual machne sometimes [15:17] Just another little question, I'm wanting to make a copy of Ubuntu for distribution with computers I sell. Is there anyway I can change the graphics such as the ones on the GNOME menu, the backgrounds, icons, bootup graphic, theme, etc. [15:17] blueeyez: linux 32 bit will only see 3.x of the ram as well.. [15:18] ziroday, I have tried it but it is missing the NETWORKING part [15:18] Guest687 -> try remastering it [15:18] blueeyez: well there is your answer, note that you will need 64bit to use 4GB's of ram [15:18] a [15:18] How would I do that? [15:18] Why does Linux 32 bit not see more then 3 GB? [15:18] a: networking part? [15:18] Guest687 -> kindly google for such topic [15:18] !tab [15:18] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [15:18] blueeyez, Sure it does [15:18] blueeyez: thats 32bit in general, not linux [15:18] A 32 bit processor can only address 4gb of RAM, generally. [15:18] the networking section [15:19] or folder, whatever you call it [15:19] God I had no idea that the font type would be so important on the theme [15:19] blueeyez: it's not just linux.. all 32 bit OS's work that way.. just the nature of the beast..

[15:23] HINDYhat, and ifconfig lists it? [15:23] Yup. [15:23] hi, I've just installed Ubuntu 8.04 with the intention of installing the Ubuntu Mythtv package.. is it worth while reinstalling from the Mythubuntu 8.04 iso instead?

For things like "'atof' was not declared in this scope" when I know I included stdlib.h [15:42] 64bit is not there yet, in my opinion [15:42] savanik, its my archive, its called etconfig [15:42] savvas, its .rar [15:42] Jewbacca: then: unrar x etconfig.rar [15:42] 64bit is not ready for mainstream consumption [15:42] savanik -> try #c [15:42] savvas: in the source maintainers channel [15:42] thanks perlmonkey [15:42] but has some advantages in certain applications, is what you're saying [15:42] savvas, when i extract the files, everything extract except the txt files [15:43] Jewbacca: run the debugging we are asking for [15:43] yes, 64bit for database servers is the best [15:43] n8tuserf; I think that is best suggestion - I will test a few here in my office - and send it to her in the mail. She is a proud little 16yr old and didn't want Papa to send her one - BUt would be best way to go.

[16:09] rocko -> try sudo lshw -C video [16:09] Jewbacca: ok wait please [16:09] hi! what are the voip app on linux that can help a 3-way conference in a pc-to-pc call? [16:09] savvas, just tell me what type you see inside the archive [16:10] n8tuserf: Upon booting, instead of loading the splash it loads a text boot "Reading Files needed to boot" then it lists about a screen and a half of stuff it checks, then boots normally. Its just an annoyance. I had it working before i messed with my swap drive. [16:10] hi! what are the voip app on linux that can held a 3-way conference in a pc-to-pc call? [16:10] n8tuserf, that doesn't tell which version of ubuntu though.. only kernel and stuff [16:10] n8tuserf: is the same as uname -a, does not give -ubuntu- version but linux version [16:10] Jewbacca: so when you open this in WinRAR you see .txt files in it? [16:10] n8tuserf https://pastebin.ca/raw/1343734 what driver am I using ? [16:10] sdoq: I think ekiga has conference rooms.. if not gizmo does but doesn't have the best voice quality.. really depends on connection [16:11] lzinucs: just any admin function from the gui fails, but shell sudo for the same command works. eg, I can start synaptic from the shell with "sudo synaptic" [16:11] savvas, yes, when i drag-and-drop, it doesnt do that :( [16:11] ironrose -> minor stuff, anyhow you can remove your /etc/fstab entry for swap and reboot, see if it makes a difference [16:11] hm. [16:12] n8tuserf: remove it so it has no UUID? [16:12] so I think I'm only on a beta of 8.04 :< [16:12] Jewbacca: can you boot to windows and take a screenshot of Winrar to show the .txt files? [16:12] hi again [16:12] savvas, i only have ubuntu [16:12] ironrose -> you can boot without a swap [16:13] I think I'm on an old version of 8.04 LTS, can I apt-get upgrade this to current version of 8.04? [16:13] n8tuserf: So if I delete the swap partition, it should be fine? [16:13] Jewbacca: how old is this .rar file? [16:13] josher4: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=987181&highlight=open+office+3+ppa [16:13] savvas, dude...last time some guy gave me something to download and it worked :( [16:13] Clinteger, yes, thats what the command is for :) [16:13] it got nothing to do with his age [16:13] ikonia: Thanks so much! [16:14] Jewbacca: answer his questions if you want help [16:14] ironrose -> i meant remove the entry in /etc/fstab, comment it out [16:14] dio444: weird.. I looked in synaptic for gksudo and didn't come up with anything.. looking for sudo I came up with kdesudo .. the kde equivelent of gksudo.. sorry I'm not sure how gksudo is implemented in gnome.. [16:14] savvas, its few days old [16:14] Jewbacca: you admit you are new and don't know much, so responding to his debugging would be good [16:14] and my friend can extract it [16:14] Titan8990, okay, well the recommended stuff is to use the GUI stuff.. I'm used to plain debian, and I didn't know if Ubuntu changed anything that would break compatibility :P [16:14] Clinteger, I don't recommend a GUI for anything [16:14] hehe I see. [16:15] I don't use the ubuntu computer with a gui though [16:15] i just use it for my irssi :) [16:15] anyway, see you later. [16:15] Clinteger, sometimes aptitude update will hold things back and you may need: aptitude full-upgrade [16:15] Clinteger, good luck [16:15] thanks [16:15] Jewbacca: are you sure 10000% that this the etconfig.rar with the .txt files, and not one other file? [16:16] Jewbacca: does your friend use ubuntu as well? [16:16] rsync question over Samba. WindowsXP share on NTFS mounted to Ubuntu Linux. using rsync to copy files from NTFS on XP to FAT32 on Linux. It seems to arbitrarily maintain the case sensitivity of the file names. Any reason why that anybody else can see? http://paste.ubuntu.com/121081 [16:16] savvas, yes [16:16] savvas, i only remember i need to install 1 thing and its all fixed ;( [16:16] Jewbacca: can you tell your friend to send me the copy of the file they have? [16:16] Huufarted, why are you rsyncing over samba? [16:16] savvas, he just went off [16:17] Huufarted, rsync doesn't need an extra overhead to transfer files over a network [16:17] Jewbacca: send me your file - I'll open it in windows now [16:17] Jewbacca: that way I can see if there are text files in it [16:17] rocko -> did you look inside /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [16:17] titan8990, perhaps it's not Samba, then. I assumed it was Samba since it's from an XP machine [16:17] ikonia: http://cohenishai.wippiespace.com/ [16:17] Huufarted, rysnc daemons work with both windows and linux [16:17] ikonia, www.cohenishai.wippiespace.com search for etconfig [16:17] * Izinucs likes watching an exercise in futility.. [16:17] Titan8990: I have a mounted NTFS share from an XP box. That's what I'm rsyncing from [16:17] Jewbacca: a simple question: are you trying to install enemy territory and you can't install it? [16:18] Huufarted, you should take samba out of the equation completly [16:18] Titan8990: if you can tell me a better way of doing it, I'll gladly listen. Sorry, new to this [16:18] yes no go n8tuserf [16:18] Huufarted, going from linux -> windows? [16:18] savvas, i already played it [16:18] windows -> linux [16:18] savvas, i only need my config D: [16:18] Hi, Why dont i see icons in openoffice and how do i enable it? [16:18] rocko -> what do you mean no go? you just want to find out what driver you are using right? === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [16:18] Huufarted: rsync to fat32 is a bit strange though. Read the command on the --modify-window flag in man [16:18] lzinucus: well, I know how I broke it, approximately. I copied /home, /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/profile, /etc/gshadow from a working 8.04 install to a new 8.04 machine (intended as an upgrade to the old) hoping to get the users transfered, but after I did it none of the admins have gui admin privilages. They all still have sudo admin though... I guess I'm gonna have to do this the hard way... thanks for trying [16:18] using rsync from linux to grab files from windows. [16:18] Jewbacca: so you can't use the etconfig from the etconfig.rar right? [16:18] identify nekikuracjes [16:18] I see text instead of icons. [16:18] and i want to know why my xchat cant load my script [16:18] Huufarted, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [16:19] yes n8tuserf [16:19] Hi folks - just bought myself a Blackberry - is there a way I can add applications using Ibex? [16:19] Huufarted, section 4, setting up an rsync daemon [16:19] savvas, can we go into private msg? D: [16:19] Jewbacca: xchat is not enemy territory, don't mix stuff [16:19] Titan8990: looking now [16:19] ifroog: are you using a different theme then the original that came with your system.. if so the theme might be preventing the icons from showing.. happened to me with a dark theme once. [16:19] Huufarted, and here is an rsync client for windows: http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopy.jsp [16:19] Jewbacca: you are explaining two problems at once [16:19] so all i need to fix is that xchat problem and everything will work [16:19] thats how it was last time [16:19] ;( [16:19] Jewbacca: no, sorry, I'll have to go in a couple of minutes :) [16:20] Titan8990: you're a Godsend...\ [16:20] Jewbacca: I'll say it once more, xchat does not have to do anything with enemy territory! [16:20] n8tuserf http://pastebin.ca/raw/1343740 [16:20] :( [16:20] !xchat [16:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about xchat [16:20] savvas, i will also say it, last time when i fixed that xchat problem, it fixed everything ;( [16:20] Huufarted, happy to help [16:20] People! [16:21] how do i delete the log-out splash screen in ubuntu, i still have the ubuntu studio one that was left over? [16:21] * Izinucs opens the door to the outside world for savvas and hands him a gold star for effort. === guest-admin is now known as zelrikriando [16:21] rocko -> thats all the contents of? [16:21] n8tuserf: commenting it out gave me no such luck [16:21] Where i can download compiz????????? [16:21] whyi haz baconator [16:21] yes everything n8tuserf [16:21] commence drooling [16:21] Titan8990: this will be so much simpler after I swap that XP box to Linux... [16:21] Jewbacca, what xchat problem did you have to fix to get things to work? [16:21] for kde 4 [16:21] aolko: it's built in.. no need to download [16:21] thiebaude, I believe it is the word "quiet" at the very end of the menu.lst section for each OS [16:21] rocko -> did you notice the comment sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ? [16:21] no [16:21] thanks Titan8990 [16:22] what does that do? [16:22] ironrose -> what do you mean? it is not booting? [16:22] rocko -> read the comments on that file [16:22] dougiel, i made a txt file with 2 cmds, auth and mode +x and when i try to load -e i get this Unknown file type /home/ishai/.xchat2/perform. Maybe you need to install the Perl or Python plugin? [16:22] Usage: LOAD [-e] , loads a plugin or script [16:22] Jewbacca: I have just opened your rar file in windows [16:22] n8tuserf: No it is. I just still get the Reading files needed to boot message list [16:22] Jewbacca: there are NO text files in it [16:22] ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:22] n8tuserf: as u said, minor stuff. [16:22] ikonia, file.cfg is a text file ;( [16:23] you open it with notepad [16:23] Jewbacca: you said .txt files [16:23] Jewbacca: you are being troublesome now [16:23] tv show is on be back if i still have problem okay n8tuserf [16:23] ironrose -> yes minor stuff, it has to read some configs at boot, [16:23] Jewbacca: there where vistable in linux !!! [16:23] Jewbacca: you have wasted peoples time and effort [16:23] rocko -> no guarantees am here then [16:23] .cfg is text file omg [16:23] n8tuserf: But before i changed the swap, it didnt do that. [16:23] in windows when i open a text file its cfg [16:23] ;(((((((( [16:23] lol [16:24] are you serious?!?!?! [16:24] i also waste my time [16:24] Jewbacca: yes, bery [16:24] * Izinucs is reminded of the classic "Who's on first" [16:24] Jewbacca: you miss-lead the whole channel [16:24] ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:24] lets calm down [16:24] no i didnt [16:24] its a txt file [16:24] Jewbacca: you said .txt [16:24] when i open it with windows i also see text files [16:24] my ubuntu computer does not have a soundcard. is there a way to send sound to a different computer? [16:24] its that same omg [16:24] ironrose -> perhaps you can post in pastebin your log files that your concerned? [16:24] Jewbacca: no it is not [16:24] .cfg is a text file [16:24] Jewbacca: and 3 people askeed you specificly [16:24] ikonia, he's not misleading. Windows hides the REAL extension if it's disabled [16:25] Jewbacca: so you want to use that etconfig to play enemy territory? [16:25] in order to make .cfg you need to open a text file ! [16:25] Huufarted: he said he wanted the .txt files in that archive - there are none [16:25] Jewbacca: all the .cfg files were extracted from your rar file.. if you couldn't find them .. well look harder.. [16:25] he more than likely saved the file as .cfg, but windows adds .txt to the end if he used Notepad [16:25] ah, ikonia.. Gotcha [16:25] how's the way to access a shared file between ubuntu computers [16:25] ? [16:25] mercutio22, several; waya, samba shares, nfs shares, or ssh and sshfs can do it [16:25] mercutio22, nfs [16:25] mercutio22 -> you need to transfer in between them? [16:25] !nfs | mercutio22 [16:25] mercutio22: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [16:25] Caplain, There are ways, read about pulse audio [16:26] an8tuser yes [16:26] RussM: thankyou very much [16:26] bah, not much info, mercutio22.

[16:26] Jewbacca: wait wait wait [16:27] Jewbacca: .cfg files are not associated with an application [16:27] D: [16:27] dr_Willis, your grammar is beautiful [16:27] aolko, You proberly done want to.

[16:57] yea [16:57] Huufarted, delta copy should just be used as a client for now [16:57] n8tuserf>>> i downloaded the image file online and created the bootable USB stick using ubuntu 8.10 in a desktop [16:58] Huufarted, so you need to nmap the linux box [16:58] n8tuserf Yeah I can remove ath9k but I need the ath5k module [16:58] I'll try enabling back porst [16:58] jtaji: whats the difference between sata and ata-6 ?

[16:59] abc2xyz -> press esc when booting, and try to insert vga=791 and remove quiet and splash to on the grub menu [17:00] Huufarted, because you are sending files from the windows box [17:00] Huufarted, it doesn't need to listen for incoming connections, because the connection should be outgoing in your case [17:00] Titan8990: it's because I'm connecting from the linux box, though. [17:01] Titan8990: I'm trying to pull from the xp box using rsync, so rsync should be connecting to DeltaCopy, or am I missing something?

[17:02] bswanson -> can you elaborate exactly what your network layout looks like? where did you attached this device, what devices are on the network [17:03] And where does Ubuntu put its startup modules?

[17:11] bertolo: ctral+alt+backspace [17:11] Hmmm the ath9k module is there in /lib/.../net/wireless. But the ath5k one which I just installed from backports is in /usr/src/linux-headers [17:11] bertolo are you using gdm? [17:11] zelda: ibex is 8.10 - stable [17:11] J2daosh -> i dont use knetwork manager, post your iwconfig results [17:11] n8tuserf: This is the responce i got when i typed in "Sudo lshw -C network" http://pastesite.com/5302 [17:11] i thought that was intrepid oh duh!

[17:13] J2daosh -> while you are at it, also post your /etc/network/interfaces file [17:14] how do you check to see where a symlink leads?

I'm getting unknown symbol errors, which suggests I'm using the wrong module for my kernel [17:14] But I just installed the backports for *this* kernel [17:14] Banjo_ -> i dont know, i did not suggest that..but search what drivers is needed for your AR chips [17:15] if i am trying to remove a program, can i just delete all the files in it's "Programs" folder? [17:15] I don't know what my AR chips are. [17:15] XeKtRuM: that's probably it.. I haven't checked mine today yet.. not in front of it right now. [17:15] wiijii -> once you loaded the backports, did you find the ath5k in those subdirs? [17:15] anonusing1, its always best to let the package manager do your deleting [17:15] n8tuserf>>is it because the usb stick cant be mounted?// [17:15] Yes [17:15] try using synaptic or apt-get [17:15] mmmm [17:15] /lib/modules/2.6etc/updates/ath5k.ko [17:16] Banjo_ -> read your post lines 16-28 [17:16] wiijii: go to the hardware drivers and diable and enable the 5k [17:16] f_newton, it's for photoshop cs2, via wine [17:16] Ok thankns [17:16] what is the definition of a distro?

[17:17] anonusing1, do a whereis first to see where all the files for that are located [17:17] mmm [17:17] where is ksynaptics for kubuntu intrepid? I can't find it and wondered it it had a name change [17:17] ?

[17:18] anonusing1, sudo -i whereis (whatever [17:18] if I restart my session the desktop image appears but then when the panels show up the image its gonne and just the solid color [17:18] n8tuserf But when I use modprobe it is saying that the module from 'updates' could not be loaded [17:18] remains [17:18] I'll try though [17:18] like the memory?> [17:18] windio00, yes and no ... as far as i can understand [17:18] GratuitousEsq -> well perhaps it is an ethernet card, and not a wifi type of card [17:18] you want the root path anonusing1 so you can find all the folders [17:19] but if you have deleted your z drive and your c drive it should be gone [17:19] f_newton, it says it can't execute the binary [17:19] wiijii -> modprobe command looks in a specific dir i believe, lest you provide full path [17:19] * zelda hums the, "Memory Remains" [17:19] !wine [17:19] 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 [17:19] what binary?

[17:19] arvind_khadri, because i see that there are also "christian" and "muslim" editions of ubuntu that claim to be distros when all it is is a different background and different applications installed [17:19] n8tuserf -> No, the ethernet adaptor is there and claimed, plus the product reads AE2413 802.1bg NIC [17:20] wine... an unstable and seriously behind, but noble, attempt to make windows apps run in linux.... I mean really... why? [17:20] sorry, 802.11bg [17:20] windio00, ya exactly... [17:20] abc2xyz -> its probably not set to boot? when you format a drive, it has a setting to be bootable? [17:20] vmware yes.... whine no [17:20] amen [17:21] Hmmm if I use modprobe /path/to/module it says 'module not found' [17:21] then it aint there [17:21] arvind_khadri, i looked to see if there was a jewish one too but i think it is a joke perhaps "jubuntu"? [17:21] GratuitousEsq -> for one, dont have two nics connected to same subnet, lest you know how to make your route table correct, so have one at a time, ethernet or wireles, only one, not both at same time [17:21] If I use insmod it says 'unknown symbol in module' [17:21] f_newton, i haven't been able to get the usability i need out of gimp. http://pastebin.com/m74c16f12 [17:21] LOL! windiio009 [17:21] windio00, no idea am sorry :) [17:21] hey i have a problem, i cannopt setup gui on an ubuntuserver destop edition, i connect with putty [17:21] we windio00 [17:21] er [17:21] thats hilarious [17:22] wiijii -> yeah you have to man insmod and modprobe to get the correct syntax and where it looks for these modules [17:22] n8tuserf>> can u exlain how can i check if its set to boot? sorry i m a newbie. i managed to boot from the same usb stick in a desktop machine [17:22] anonusing1, well you can learn how to use gimp or you can dual boot and keep cs3 on your windows partition but wine is a lot better then it used to be but it still sux [17:22] n8tuserf it is finding the modules, just not loading them [17:22] abc2xyz -> same usbdisk is bootable on your desktop? [17:22] f_newton, okay thanks [17:22] hey i have a problem, i cannopt setup gui on an ubuntuserver destop edition, i connect with putty [17:22] n8tuserf>>>yes [17:22] windio00: that would be jewish. [17:22] wiijii -> if i recall, ath9k is the recommended one, but you have to google for the excerpts of these, [17:23] do u guys think that gimp can ultimately do the same as photoshop? [17:23] n8tuserf -> They're not on the same subnet, the ethernet isnt plugged in [17:23] as it stands today [17:23] how could I revert the changes that remote desktop did yesterday ? [17:23] abc2xyz -> then your laptop is not reading that usbdongle correctly eh? [17:23] zelda, yes but i cant tell if it is also a serious project or a joke since people seriously created christian and muslim distros of ubuntu [17:23] anon: comparible, but doesnt beat: [17:23] anonusing1, it may not have all the tools that photoshop has, but ya it can [17:23] anonusing1, try to understand that cs3 is very very cpu intensive and wine is as well... its just not a good application of your energy. if you have a powerful enough machine run a vm w/ windows on it or something but wine will just give you heartache if you try to run something as complex as adobe photoshop on it [17:23] n8tuserf I haven't been using ah9k until recently, it just got updated. it does not support packet injection and I need that feature for some work I'm doing [17:23] n8tuserf>>exactly [17:23] GratuitousEsq -> okay, make sure the correct driver is loaded [17:24] Anyone know of a command line script / bash script / application that will automatically sort TV into show -> season -> episode number? [17:24] I have been having problems connecting to one of the repositories for a few days now: " Failed to fetch http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/dists/intrepid-security/Release" [17:24] zelda, i think it is for real [17:24] windio00: IDK, havent thought about that.. but that is hilarious. [17:24] I noticed someone else had that problem yesterday too [17:24] f_newton, will i can't even if i wanted to. i've run out of ideas on how ot get it to work... [17:24] wiijii: to load a module at boot time insert it in /etc/modules file. [17:24] well* [17:24] abc2xyz -> i cant do anything if your laptop does not read it .. look in the bios - there maybe settings you can fiddle with? [17:24] ScottG489, which repo is that [17:24] gnutron I don't want to load it at boot, I just want to load it. [17:24] hi anyone here have ebooks about kubuntu [17:25] anyone here can aswer me one question ? [17:25] gnutron I'm getting an unknown symbol error [17:25] anonusing1, thats not your fault... remember to put your photoshop on its own partition in windows.... [17:25] windio00: that made my day man. [17:25] i've been using gimp for some time but, just find that it lacks a lot of support as far tutorials and such... [17:25] n8tuserf>>> thats wht i m trying now. wonder if its something specific to acer aspire one machine [17:25] ya, i lost my serial key for windows >_< [17:25] wiijii: a modprode module-name should work, lsmod to list the loaded ones [17:25] wiijii -> not all wifi drivers support all the features, so yeah you have to go hunting for drivers that meets your needs [17:25] Anon: you will find that a lot with some linux programs. [17:25] zelda, you might want to check it out https://launchpad.net/jubuntu [17:25] anonusing1, there are gimp support rooms and if you visit gimp site you will find a lot of tutorials etc plus you can ask other users [17:25] i actually threw it away when i took apart my case >_< [17:25] gnutron No, that's not what the problem is [17:26] anonusing1, honestly though I much prefer adobe [17:26] n8tuserf This is the correct driver, hence me trying to get it to work [17:26] lol [17:26] abc2xyz -> i dont know, could be? [17:26] n8tuserf -> Well, I think I tried both Atheros drivers, but it didnt really fix my problem [17:26] windio00: yeah I'll google it [17:26] where do I get info about the ubuntu backport testers?? [17:26] anonusing1, I use audition 3 [17:26] right [17:26] how do I talk to someone on that team? [17:26] guys anyone can hear me here? [17:26] arvind_khadri: I'm not sure how to know that. But if I do "sudo apt-get update it hits a bunch of http's like usuall then ends with this: "W: Failed to fetch http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/dists/intrepid-security/Release Unable to find expected entry multivers/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead." [17:26] lol [17:26] n3rd4i: no, we can read you though [17:26] wiijii -> i forget now, what is your chip? is its same as GratuitousEsq ? you guys have same chip? [17:26] :) [17:27] i need some mini help [17:27] f_newton, i have just been using the trail versions but, also used to use it growing up.. like 7 years ago [17:27] n8tuserf -> The problem fixed when I changed drivers then changed back, but on restart it didnt work again. [17:27] how can i make a live CD with my settings [17:27] trail versions lately* [17:27] maybe one day adobe will produce a linux equivalent [17:27] and my applications? [17:27] GratuitousEsq -> not getting loaded at boot? [17:27] i mean [17:27] n8tuserf I have no idea. The module I need is ath5k, definitely. It worked previously [17:27] THANKS everyone! [17:27] php/sqlite problem: cli seems to be loading the sqlite module, apache2 not [17:27] i wanna ripp the included ones and get myself others [17:27] It's an atheros chipset of some sort [17:27] anonusing1, I use it in a professional capacity and in conjunction with pro tools and cubase it works wonders [17:27] hey witch program should i use to connect to a remote server if i want to se gui? [17:27] that i want [17:27] n3re4i: use an imagining program [17:27] phpinfo() from webpage shows conf.d/sqlite.ini (and pdo_sqlite.ini) isn't loaded [17:28] anyidea? [17:28] sorry. :( [17:28] n8tuserf>>>usbcore.autosuspend =1....i get this msg everytime the machine starts. do u think this could be the problem? [17:28] ScottG489, becuase the line isnt correct it should be "deb http://.......... " [17:28] *sigh*, time to fill out the taxes in Canada... any good Linux tax softwares? [17:28] Ubuntu 8.10 (sqlite php module load failure) [17:28] abc2xyz -> possibly is that setting in the bios? [17:28] n8tuserf -> I'm not sure, in System>Administration>Hardware Drivers, it says that its active, but it still doesnt work, and deactivating it and reactivating it doesnt fix it. [17:28] f_newton, yes, it has a lot of advantages that i just haven't found in gimp [17:28] hey witch program should i use to connect to a remote server if i want to se gui? [17:28] Pantung, From what platform, to what platform, over what speed link? [17:29] Pantung: applications > internet > terminal server client for windows, and > remote desktop viewer for Ubuntu/Linux/any VNC server [17:29] n8tuserf>>>no i think its related to kernel [17:29] arvind_khadri: How do I edit the file to correct that? [17:29] arvind_khadri: Or rather, WHAT file do I correct? [17:29] abc2xyz -> i dont know then..sorry [17:29] f_newton, gimp works well for something but, ya i am trying to use it professionally now. well, will just have to find a way to make do [17:29] anonusing1, no gimp has what you need but its a lot harder to learn. Adobe has spent millions making it work right where gimp is the generous efforts of very hard working volunteers [17:29] ScottG489, gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [17:29] THANKS again [17:29] GratuitousEsq -> did you ever post the requested /etc/network/interfaces file for me to see? [17:29] anon: hence the reason there isnt a good manual [17:29] its from ubuntu to ubuntu RussM jtaji [17:29] f_newton, well, i can do harder if it will work well [17:29] hey guys. I'm using 8.10 desktop. I'm getting empty core dump files when running an app of mine. What do I do so that dump file isn't empty? [17:30] it will anonusing1 but you are definitely going to have to work at it [17:30] n8tuserf -> The what? I dont remember you asking me to do that. I'll do it now though [17:30] azuke: man gdb [17:30] ya, i definitely appreciate the open source nature of gimp [17:30] Pantung, I use VNC. But if you're on a LAN, you could just use X, changing your DISPLAY variable. That's not as good when on a slow link, though. [17:31] but get started then :) [17:31] Russ i'm not on lan its a server in holland and i'm den denmark :) [17:31] thanks again [17:31] n8tuserf: i cant get it to copy to my flash drive anymore [17:31] can anyone suggest me which brand laptop works best with ubuntu? [17:31] n8tuserf [17:31] n8tuserf -> this is all it shows "auto lo iface lo inet loopback" [17:31] its not the brand, its the hardware man. [17:32] arvind_khadri: So I basically should just change all the "ddebs" to "deb" ? [17:32] RussM, then how do i install vnc on the server? [17:32] abc > that was at you [17:32] hey guys, I am trying to connect to my university network using Ubuntu, and it is LEAP certificate authentication or something.

[17:32] gnutron: how is this related to gdb? the core file being created is 0kb. gdb can't read the file [17:32] abc2xyz: its not the brand, its really if the hardware is compatible [17:33] ScottG489, ya and the line is generally security.ubuntu.com for security releases... your whole line is malformed i gues [17:33] http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=photoshop+for+linux&s_pageName=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.adobe.com%2Fproducts%2Fphotoshop%2Ffamily%2F&s_channel=Channel%3An%2Fa&siteSection=products%3Aphotoshop anonusing1 read this page [17:33] guys a little help my sound is broken ! i have even reported a bug regarding this but still of no use https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/329153 thought some one over here could help [17:33] azuke: i don't know, if its empty it can't be too bad, try google [17:33] !firewall [17:33] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

[17:39] arvind_khadri: ok yea [17:39] GratuitousEsq -> you need to modify that interfaces file.. add iface wlan0 inet dhcp; auto dhcp two lines here okay?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [17:45] !tab [17:45] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [17:45] dudus, :) [17:45] gletob: use scp, its secure copy using the ssh protocol.

I had to manually install svn 1.4.6 +libneon 0.25.5 in order to work. Who and where should I notify this issue?

With no way to get back the old resolution. His xorg.conf is pretty much empty (since x.org should get everything automatically). [18:03] can someone hold my hand through a driver recompile? [18:03] J2daosh -> does lsmod |grep ath shows your ath5k ? [18:03] n8tuserf: ok [18:03] Huufarted, I see [18:03] The funny thing is, everything worked perfectly up until an hour ago [18:03] Ferchault -> can you ping localhost?

[18:12] Is 3D desktop compiz "Fusion" ? [18:13] Is it installed by default or needed in addition ? [18:13] jeff-01: yes [18:13] now Windows boots. That is good, however it cannot access the full 250gb of the hard drive even though diskmgmt.msc sees it [18:13] it still reads it as the old 40 gb [18:13] mastacontrola, that is offtopic. I am sending you a message to tell you how to fix this [18:13] mastacontrola, that's because dd copies EVERYTHING (including the part that says how big the drive is) [18:13] #conky [18:13] thx Fosco.

It reads and burns DVD's just fine, but I have been unable to get it to recognize cd's. I have searched the forums along with google and have been unlucky to find a solution. Do you think my drive might have crapped out on me? If so, a warranty would cover that right? It's a brand new lappy and this shouldn't happen. [18:14] mastacontrola, you have to resize the partition after you dd it [18:14] what does that have to do with ubuntu xskaponex [18:14] ? [18:14] n8tuserf -> Huh, that seemed to work, thanks. [18:14] jeff-01: compiz is installed when you activate desktop effects, not enabled by default [18:15] xSskApOnEx: I think you should call Toshiba. [18:15] I don't find the 3D ?

I switched own_window to "no" in the config, and then it doesn't load at all at logon. I have to open it manually to get it to work right [18:18] madmike: wat command are u autostarting conky with? [18:19] madmike, conky has a lot of tweaks and things that may be needed depending on the window manager. check the conky homepage and the faq. they mention the proper settings for gnome and kde. [18:19] hi, i'm thinking about switching to 8.04 LTS from 8.10 because i'm dying to have KDE3, and i have it on ibex too but its buggy, so i'm switching [18:20] Richaee: in the sessions thing I added "conky" to startup [18:20] but the thing is... will filezilla latest come to hardy ever?

[18:55] ok thanks [18:55] np [18:55] usser: prefrences? [18:56] jack: Thats what I was thinking.. Just needed a 2nd opinion. Thanks! [18:56] usser: ok then what? [18:56] are there any dissadvantages in using System->Quit->Hibernate instead of System->Quit->Shut Down? Hibernate is working great with my laptop, but I'm not sure if it has dissadvantages over shutdown... [18:56] J2daosh -> got it working? [18:56] austin_, video tab, try switching to different available drivers [18:56] i don't have hardy yet, but kubuntu hardy is dying this october? [18:57] jatt: Sometimes my hardware doesnt get re-initialized all the time (using a tablet with Wacom drivers for instance) [18:57] !releases [18:57] Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [18:57] racecar56, hardy will be supported until 2011 === tesla is now known as zt [18:57] Decepticon, just try fork bomb :) [18:58] nikola tesla rules! [18:58] why does kubuntu.org say "Kubuntu 8.04 - Featuring the mature KDE 3 and maintained until October 2009" [18:58] racecar56, that doesnt seem right [18:58] zonyl: thanks for your reply. I see, yes I was thinking in hardware problems too, for example that hibernate would stress some hardware, but is just speculation from my part. If it doesn't have dissadvantages I will use Hibernate instead shutdown always :) [18:59] racecar56 Where did it say that? [18:59] does ubuntu have a problem with usb mice? [18:59] kubuntu.org's download site [18:59] http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download [18:59] <_VIM_> yoshi_: not usually [18:59] jatt: Just try and see if you have problems. My tablet is russian roulette with hibernate. Sometimes everything works, sometimes not. [18:59] racecar56 is that a date that JDE dies? [18:59] KDE [18:59] ok thanks [18:59] usser: great! got that to work, but now theres no sound [18:59] Decepticon, perl -e 'my @a; do { for (0..2**20){$a[$_]=$_} } while 1' [18:59] _VIM_, then it is probably the mouse is broken. though i just got it brand new [19:00] _VIM_, it works for a few seconds and then quits [19:00] usser: cannot open/initialize audio device [19:00] austin_, hehe, in audio pane did you change any settings? it should be pulseaudio or alsa [19:00] anyone know why i'd lose a color (yellow) in the console (ctrl-alt-f[1-6]) ? ansi codes can change all other colours except that one... it's there when i boot into single-user mode, but not when i full boot... looks like i lose it when X starts up and i switch back to tty [19:00] <_VIM_> yoshi_: hmmm that's odd I even have a wireless USB mouse and have no probs. [19:01] unop Can you take the programming talk to a PM please [19:01] usser: yah its PulseAudio aoudio outup [19:01] *outup [19:01] austin_, and what did you switch video driver to? [19:01] austin_, it shouldnt have any effect on sound really [19:02] usser: x11 x11 (ximage/shm) [19:02] that one [19:02] gnutron: the app isn't the problem. the app I wrote purposely causes a segmentation fault. the problem is that a core dump file isn't being created (it's created empty). when I run the app I receive "Segmentation fault". I should receive "Segmentation fault(core dumped)". My question is, how do I get core dumps working? [19:02] austin_, try sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart [19:02] austin_, that restart audio daemon [19:02] command not found... [19:02] usser: command not found... [19:03] austin_, hm... sorry i dont know much about pulseaudio, i dont use it. is there sound in any other program> [19:03] usser: yah there is...i can hear youtube and IM client just fine [19:04] azuke: Ah, i see. ok somewhere in /etc/ i think is a directive that suppresses core files, but i'm afraid i forget where its at. [19:04] Hello! I've been using Ubuntu for some time now on my old stationary machine, and communicate with it from my main computer via ssh over wlan. Yesterday I decided to install Ubuntu on my main machine, therefor now, I will be using the gui as well, so now I want to customize the look of Ubuntu. I've done some of the basics, but I was wondering if visual cuztomizing can be done by editing a file? So that I can keep the file and overwrite it [19:04] austin_, try restarting mplayer [19:04] i'm trying to use "cube" inside compiz but it won;t allow me to change workspaces now [19:05] usser: how? just cosing the app? i did that [19:05] austin_, hm try switching audio output to alsa [19:05] how to play rmvb in totem? === Roozbeh|Away is now known as RoozbehOnline [19:05] Kristian1, www.gnome-looks.org, and look under System > Preferences > Appearance [19:05] or do I need to shutdown workspace switcher somehow? [19:05] hello, anyone knows how to install avrstudio or a similar program to program microchips? specially the atmega32 under ubuntu...

[19:06] kristian: Look up the format of the gnome theme file and experiment with that. [19:06] azuke: ulimit -c unlimited (works on current shell) [19:06] Hey, guys. Ubuntu was great, but I got my old laptop back and it can run XP. Thanks for an awesome OS. [19:07] geotsai: ask in #freenode [19:07] Really helped me run on a low-spec computer. [19:07] fearful : thanks is it possible to edit the apperance in a file or something? :) [19:07] kristian1, fearful: gnome-look.org, not gnome-looks.org [19:07] I'm having a similar no-sound problem. Mplayer reports open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: Device or resource busy [19:07] no sound in any app [19:07] I know this channel is exclusively for ubuntu, but anyone knows a similar distribution to work on a 64mb ram old laptop? [19:08] iaindalton: make mplayer and all other apps use pulseaudio;esd or alsa in that order [19:08] 64mb RAM, danes? [19:08] danes, puppy linux, dsl [19:08] danes: Xubuntu will work fine [19:08] yeah. [19:08] unop that doesnt each much ram but thats still good [19:08] hi all; I have a problem in ubuntu with my wireless network on acer aspire 7730g, and I am somewhat of a newb [19:08] iaindalton: I sometimes will lose all audio on my Intel-HDA card. I do a alsa reload to fix that [19:08] usser: eeek! yes it works now xD [19:08] erUSUL: How do you do that? [19:08] usser: thank you muchly [19:08] zonyl: How do you do that? [19:08] fearful, will it work fine? I dont want to wait for hours for the OS to load [19:08] Decepticon, you could increase the upper limit to your needs [19:08] geirha : that's more like it. ;) [19:08] "alsa reload" [19:08] as su [19:09] danes: Xubuntu is made for low resource computers [19:09] austin_, cool, no problem, full screen wont work with X11 driver though :) seems like you have problems with video drivers, are you using intel card? [19:09] unop by changing 20 to 9999 [19:09] fearful, allright (y) [19:09] correct? [19:09] hmm, didn't help [19:09] danes: http://www.xubuntu.org/ [19:09] my wireless card does not detect any networks, although my windows machine has about a dosen [19:09] Decepticon, hmm, that would probably be too much :) .. 30 maybe [19:09] usser: no, ATi [19:09] unop :D [19:09] not-a-cat, click system>admin>hardware drivers [19:10] iaindalton: try 'mplayer -ao alsa *.mp3' [19:10] usser: the audio is a bit lagggy though [19:10] anyone knows how can I program a atmega32 microchip under ubuntu? [19:10] I tried to enable cube in compiz but now I can;t change workspaces at all.. *grovel* [19:10] Decepticon: 2**10 is 1KiB, 2**20 is 1MiB, 2**30 is 1GiB, etc... [19:10] Can I customize the apperance of Ubuntu via a text file? I want to do it like that, so that I can keep the file if I wish to do a reinstall. :) [19:10] c0vert: I did [19:10] danes: You may need the Alternate Install CD tho [19:10] geirha ah [19:10] still the same error [19:10] austin_, try a different player, vlc for example [19:10] unop 30 seems about right [19:10] c0vert: all I got was nvidia drivers [19:10] unop thanks for that [19:10] not-a-cat, nothing for wireless? [19:11] c0vert: nope :-/ [19:11] Decepticon, yea .. otherwise it would run out of memory quite soon [19:11] not-a-cat, is it a laptop? [19:11] kristian: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/GtkThemes [19:11] fearful, pardon me? what is that? [19:11] how to see which version of xorg is installed on my computer ? [19:11] usser: nvm its good...but u said i coudon't do full screen? [19:11] c0vert: yes, acer aspire 7730g [19:11] hmmm _VIM_ left? it would have been nice to know there was in fact a logitech usb mouse driver i may have needed [19:11] iaiandalton: 'sudo killall -9 pulseaudio' then try again [19:11] not-a-cat, is the wireless LED on? [19:11] austin_, yea X11 driver is very basic, it cant do fullscreen [19:12] any1 kno how to suggest a new version of a software to include in Jaunty? or whereabouts? [19:12] austin_, try opengl driver, or xvideo [19:12] guess im lookin for the developer channel [19:12] danes: http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs-Xubuntu/8.10/release/ and look down to the "Alternate install CD" [19:12] zonyl, ouch .. never kill -9 anything [19:12] austin_, xvideo is called xv in mplayer [19:12] zonyl: that works, which is funny, because /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop didn't [19:12] unop: I have a distaste for pulseaudio and sometimes it refuses to go away nicely [19:12] Hi guys,, [19:12] fearful, thank you, I was reading the website and was looking for that [19:13] c0vert: hm....I can't seem to locate it [19:13] iaindalton: Pulse for me is flakey. That init script is useless most of the time [19:13] zonyl, still .. killing it that way doesn't let it clean up after itself [19:13] zonyl: And you can tab-complete a name in most irc clients [19:13] we need jackd 1.9.1 and ffado 2.0rc1 in jaunty! [19:13] danes, your welcome [19:13] who do i talk to about this? [19:13] yowshi: _VIM_ is right here, (i had to log off) I wasn't aware you needed me for anything else, but if you tell me the make/model again ill see what I can find :) [19:13] anyone knows how can I program a atmega32 microchip under ubuntu? [19:13] not-a-cat, when you right click the networking icon at the top it does say wireless is enabled right [19:13] iaindalton: ;) Thanks for the tip! [19:13] c0vert: that it does [19:14] What is the best place to get a .vdi for the newest ubuntu? [19:14] I tried to enable cube in compiz but now I can;t change workspaces at all.. *grovel* [19:14] c0vert: but I was unable to connect with any kind of configuration (wep, open, etc..) [19:14] im having trouble with my Trident CyberBlade XP card, it wont load in any graphics mode in 8.04. you can go to qik.com/comthre3 to see what im talking about, all i get is a smokey screen i tried editing the xorg.conf without any suceess can someone help me? i can settup a live stream on what im doing and see if someone could help me [19:14] Has anyone in here gotten elisa to run on Intrepid? [19:14] treeoon: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages [19:14] not-a-cat, but it lists the networks? [19:14] eseven73: i solved the problem myself when i found the locomo logitech usb mouse driver in synatpic [19:14] c0vert: no...and that's what's bugging me [19:14] OK, so when sound stops working, kill pulseaudio with extreme prejudice ;-) [19:15] c0vert: my windows mashine has like 10 of them (not including mine) [19:15] usser: they work ful screen, but it flickers in windowed, or if i open up a menu [19:15] * iaindalton wishes sound in ubuntu 8.10 worked as well is in windows 95...or system 7 :P [19:15] thanks geirha [19:15] yowshi: ok , well at least you got it going :) [19:15] iaindalton: it does [19:15] not-a-cat, so it's obviously not finding your wifi card, do you know the exact model of it? [19:15] theres too many ways to configure it tho ;) [19:15] How do I run the system administration stuff as root from the menu? [19:15] eseven73: i was just saying if your going to say ubuntu doesnt normally have problems with usb mice you might want to mention that there is a driver you may be lacking [19:15] usser: a friend of mine recommneded to get rid of compositing [19:16] usser: how do i do that [19:16] eseven73: :) [19:16] austin_, yea that may be one thing, ati doesnt play nice with compiz still to this day [19:16] yowshi: my computer is giving me fits (with KDE4.2 ) so I probably wasn't pay attention , my bad [19:16] Anyone know how to run something like Users and Groups as root from the menu? [19:16] c0vert: just name the command :) [19:16] austin_, you're using gnome right? [19:16] usser: no, kde [19:16] eseven73: ah i was thinking of installing and trying out the new kde today [19:16] not-a-cat, i was asking if you knew the model name of your wifi card [19:16] c0vert: iwconfig? [19:16] austin_, alt+f2 and type kwin --replace [19:16] ctral-alt-down is supposed to load cube, right? [19:16] c0vert: no, not really, just bought the thing today [19:16] ldlework, you should be prompted for the root password if you launched that item. [19:17] yowshi: the new kde is just fine, it's opensuse's KDE 4.2 Factory edition that is the prob [19:17] usser: then what? [19:17] austin_, also update your driver if u installed with ubuntu's restricted manager tool [19:17] i didnt wanna mention what os i was on ;) [19:17] usser: how do i update that as well? [19:17] austin_, nothing kwin --replace should disable compiz [19:17] unop, nope and all the groups are inactive so I can't manipulate them (Intrepid) [19:17] and oh ok [19:17] treeoon: it does for you, but as for me, I never had sound suddenly stop working in another OS. Either sound just worked, or you had to find drivers, but once it worked, it didn't quit. [19:17] anyone? [19:17] ldlework, i would do this, if that didn't work. gksu users-admin or gksu user-admin # can't remember which is the correct one [19:17] thanks [19:18] THANK YOU ALL GUYS TO KEEP UBUNTU UP AND RUNNING!!! :D [19:18] austin_, but if you're on kde 4, it has its own effects, doesnt rely on compiz so you may need to turn it off as well, i dont remember where it is though, should be in system-settings appearance [19:18] how can i make this a alias, so i can refer back to it, in .bashrc .. the single quotes are messing up echo, and i cannot directly place it as a alias because $a or whatever takes on program names for some reason [19:18] c0vert: I do know it's Intel, but I'm unsure of the exact version [19:18] how can i make this a alias, so i can refer back to it, in .bashrc .. the single quotes are messing up echo, and i cannot directly place it as a alias because $a or whatever takes on program names for some reason ### i want to set this to alias eatram ### perl -e 'my @a; do { for (0..2**25){$a[$_]=$_} } while 1' [19:18] Does anyone know where to get the Ubuntu 8.10 .vdi for Virtualbox? [19:18] not-a-cat, ok one sec [19:18] iaindalton: It was a lot more stable in Hardy. Ibex audio was the first time I have had real odd audio problems with Linux once driver was installed [19:18] Decepticon, use a function instead. function eat_some_mem() { perl -e '...' ; } [19:19] austin_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI scroll down to install from ati(latest version of drivers) [19:19] austin_, they really fixed a lot of stuff in their latest release === MTecknology is now known as mteck-mobile [19:19] unop how so? [19:19] not-a-cat, open up a terminal and type the command 'lspci' and look for the make there.. === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [19:19] unop, interestingly the groups are still inactive so I cannot manipulate them [19:19] * iaindalton waits patiently for 9.04 [19:19] unop this is talkinga bout .bashrc still? [19:20] Decepticon, right. just that you use a function instead of an alias to the same effect [19:20] austin_, in the instructions just change the name of the driver to whatever's current, they used 8.443.1-1 as an example === mteck-mobile is now known as MTecknology [19:20] eseven73: grrr i cant seem to install kde on my system some dependencies cant be met :( [19:20] not-a-cat, you're looking for WLAN [19:20] ldlework, hmm, that's odd. not sure then ... as i don't use gnome [19:20] Decepticon: it's possible to use an alias, but you'll need to escape special characters, so the function approach is easier [19:20] geirha i see [19:20] usser: i do not have a 9xxx card though [19:21] How can I use a wireless apple keyboard? I tried using a guide but it used `hidd`, which I don't have. [19:21] c0vert: Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100 [19:21] * Lasivian would like to figure out why cube isn;t working but she doesn't know enough :P [19:21] unop thanks for that idea [19:21] austin_, what card do you have? [19:21] Decepticon, np [19:21] its working [19:21] hi guys, I'm having trouble setting up samba. I'm try to get it so I can mount shares as drives from windows, but it's tellin me bad login/password. [19:21] austin_, ati site lets you pick appropriate driver for your card [19:21] on 8.10 [19:21] ehird: install it [19:21] c0vert: I have found the button/indicator for wireless, but it's not lit.. :( [19:22] not-a-cat, ok [19:22] TriBeCa99, did u do smbpasswd -u user? [19:22] iaindalton: and which package would this be? [19:22] LinkinX64: no, will do one sec [19:22] TriBeCa99, u need it [19:22] ehird, if you try to run a program you don't have but a repository provides, bash will tell you the name of the package [19:22] Hi! [19:22] so type `hidd' in a terminal [19:23] iaindalton: I did that and it does not tell me. I know this... [19:23] I think it's from an older version of a package. [19:23] usser: they don't have a driver for my card though [19:23] !hi | rapha [19:23] rapha: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [19:23] What's the difference between "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 96)", "173" and "177"? How do I know which one to use? [19:23] austin_, whats the card? [19:23] ehird: what do you get when you type hidd? [19:23] bash: hidd: command not found [19:23] usser:4850 i beleave [19:24] not-a-cat, are you using ubuntu 8.10? [19:24] c0vert: yes, fresh install [19:24] austin_, can you paste the results of lspci | grep VGA [19:24] hmm, maybe your bash is set up differently. mine reports bluez-compat as having it [19:24] Is 8.04 or 8.10 better to ruN? [19:24] hmm ok [19:24] not-a-cat, the wifi switch on the laptop, is switched on right? lol [19:24] felixsulla: depends on what to run it for? [19:24] * ehird installs bluez-compat [19:25] A virtual box with the most up to date features. Trying to learn Linux [19:25] LinkinX64: it gives me 'could not connect to machine 127.0.0.1 failed to change password blah blah" [19:25] c0vert: hehe..that's a tricky one [19:25] TriBeCa99, weird....http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 [19:25] austin_, its probably radeon 4800 hd series [19:25] felixsulla: in that case, definitely 8.10, as it has much more up-to-date features than 8.04 obviously. [19:25] not-a-cat, apparently that card is supposed to work out of the box so the switch might be off.. [19:25] TriBeCa99, i asume u installed samba [19:25] usser: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV770 [Radeon HD 4850] [19:25] c0vert: I'm not sure how am I supposed to know...it's just a button, but nothing happens when I press it [19:26] I have this little bluetooth usb dongle that I have no idea how to use. bluetooth-browse isn't seeing it either. It shows up under lsusb as Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) [19:26] c0vert: I'll try again and report [19:26] austin_, yea its this one ati radeon hd4800 series [19:26] felixsulla: Once you've become comfortable with it, you may also want to try out the Alpha 4 release of 9.04. [19:26] Anyone, what's the difference between "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 96)", "173" and "177"? How do I know which one to use? [19:26] looking for a stopwatch program for ubuntu ibex... both karm and stopwatch packages dont seem to load. [19:26] usser: i just isntalled w.e the restriced drivers gave me [19:27] rapha, i think they are for compatibility 96 is for quadro 173 is for some older cards like geforce mx200/400 etc and 173 is the for everything else,recent cards like 8000 series 9000 [19:27] usser: how do i chck which one i have installed [19:27] austin_, which one what? [19:28] austin_, which version of the driver? [19:28] 8.10 comes with Firefox 3 by default, right? [19:28] usser: So with a GeForce 6600 LE I'd use version 177? [19:28] felixsulla, correct [19:28] felixsulla: yes [19:28] rapha, yea [19:28] Okay, thanks usser! [19:28] does anyone know the key combo to show the cube in that compiz plugin? [19:28] usser: yes [19:28] ctrl-alt-down isn;t doing anything [19:28] Lasivian, make sure the plugin is enabled and check inside the preferences [19:29] felixsulla: if you're interested in OpenOffice.org 3.0 though, you'll have install that yourself as 8.10 comes with OOo 2.something [19:29] fearful: it is enabled, desktops is set to 4/1/1 [19:29] Lasivian: doesn't compiz stupidly use mod4 instead of ctl-alt? [19:29] Is OO 3 in synpatic? [19:29] Lasivian, then I don't know I don't use desktop cube [19:29] iaindalton: sorry, I don;t know what mod4 is [19:29] I have been messing around with 7.10, but I think I need to go to 8.10 [19:29] felixsulla: If you add an extra repository, yes. [19:29] Lasivian→ what key combo is listed in your Compiz settings? [19:29] austin_, hm im not sure, try modinfo fglrx [19:29] If you have a windows keyboard, it's the windows key. On a mac, I dunno. [19:30] rapha, ok stupid question, what does add a repository mean? [19:30] ctrl-alt-down to open the cube just "space" to rotate [19:30] which makes NO sense [19:30] I've been a windows user too long ;( [19:30] me too [19:30] austin_, there should be ati utility that lists various info, or glxinfo should provide some info [19:30] is there a composing program in the style of an "old school" tracker? (like on the amiga or FT2) [19:30] how can i configure my nvidia settings ? [19:30] felixsulla→ ubuntu software consists of packages, stored online on servers known as "repositories" [19:31] felixsulla, this might be of help http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml [19:31] my nvidia settings are mad!!! HELP [19:31] felixsulla: It means, open Synaptic, click "Settings" in the menu, then "Package Sources" (or so, I'm not running an English Ubuntu) and add a repo there [19:31] felixsulla: when you type something like apt-get install firefox, apt-get searches through the repositories it knows of for a package named firefox, and if it finds it, it dls and installs it [19:31] how do I view a shared folder on an ubuntu desktop from another ubuntu computer?

[20:10] linoge: yeah, go for the clone instead. [20:10] Ok thanks a lot ... !! [20:10] toader, i dont think theres an easy way to do it. theres too many sercvices needed - you could manually stoip the services you dont want running perhaps [20:10] magnetron: yes I was running a web serverr, but not sharing ownerships between ftpuser and www-data [20:10] Scunizi_: no gui, no any service [20:10] Hi all! where I could find Feisty 7.04 repos? It seems that all of them are gone [20:10] my ubuntu is running slow and i hear that kubuntu and xubuntu is much faster [20:10] unop: ty, learned something new today as well [20:11] dr_Willis: could u tell me how to [20:11] bertolo: no, not to keep the programs you already have on 8.04 [20:11] toader, xdm/kdm/gdm will stop the GUI. but theres a lot of services that are needed for normal operatuion - You could try the 'single user mode' i guess. [20:11] marctw: kubuntu isn't. [20:11] marctw, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop, this will give you the choice to login using KDE or xfce then go pure on whichever you you prefer [20:11] toader, sudo service WHATEVER stop [20:11] slipstenen, yea, your way would invoke apt-get for each package too .. and that might not solve all dependencies [20:11] bertolo: you can do update manager -s [20:11] IOS|warlock→ but that's exactly you were asking about. instead, i recommend using SSH-server, it's much easier to do that using SSH/SFTP [20:11] dr_Willis: how to start to single user moder [20:11] !ccsm | jeff-01 [20:11] jeff-01: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'.

[20:12] toader, append 'single' to the end of the grub boot line, or try the rescue/recovery mode optuion. its about the same thing [20:12] IOS|warlock→ i already told you what to do [20:12] Yes, and I asked you if you knew the command for it [20:12] fearful: i tried that but all it changed was my login screen and it still booted the gnome splash screen [20:12] Hello! If i make a release of a program, is it a good idea to put all of the binaries into a tar.gz file and publish it on the internet? [20:13] thiebaude1: i have no internet [20:13] oh, ok [20:13] marctw, you have to change the session, in the loging screen click the sessions and it will give you the choice on xfce or kde whichever you installed [20:13] _niko this chart might help you, too: http://www.64-bit.de/dokumentationen/netzwerk/e/002/nfk-traversal.png [20:13] i have a mythbuntu server and i want to launch ktorrent on startup, where should i put that? [20:13] magnetron: figured it out, thanks for your opinions though. [20:14] i dont know why my ubuntu runs bad my vista flys compared to ubuntu what would cause this? [20:14] numpszi: I guess it is better to do a repository if you want to distribute compiled files. archive would be ok for source though. [20:15] marctw: the video driver.. do you have an nvidia card if so which one? [20:15] hello mens [20:15] Any ideas what to do with a machine that overheats whenever it's running the android emulator? can ubuntu slow it down if it's running too hot instead of shutting it down? [20:15] IOS|warlock→ good luck [20:16] no i have a ati radeon x200m, this is my laptop [20:16] Pupeno→ what kind of CPU do you have? [20:16] x200m here - used the fglrx drivers. it wasent a fast laptop i had.. but it worked. :) [20:17] magnetron: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz. [20:17] dr_Willis: isnt that the driver it uses by default? [20:17] marctw, No.. 'ati' driver is the OSS default driver.. fglrx = one from ati you install [20:17] Does anyone know how to change the default read/write permissions on a usb drive that automatically mounts? [20:18] ok this is wierd. lsusb lists the mouse as a logitech scrollmouse but lomoco sees it as an unsupported logitech device. can someone please help me with this [20:18] Tecna, sudo chmod 755 /media/ [20:18] marctw - 1) you might need different drivers for your graphics adapter 2) you might have to less RAM (1.2GB minimum for acceptable performance) 3) you might not yet have discovered, in which way ubuntu is different in being slow compared to windows - each of them can be slow, but in different situations - use ubuntu for at least 10 days and you will discover the pattern, i mean. [20:18] ok, thanks [20:19] Pupeno→ i'm surprised to hear that such a CPU would overheat. i suggest fixing your hardware problem, by installing proper cooling. you *can* slow software down with the nice/renice commands, but no software will overheat a proper cooled hardware. [20:19] hmw: I don't completely understand what to do with that command. [20:19] how do I edit my grub from a LiveCD session? [20:19] im just tired of waiting 20 seconds for my file manager to open when vista opens explorer in about 2 sec [20:19] magnetron: it's a laptop. [20:20] OK DUDES, so im using fglrx as my graphics card driver and i got dual view/screen running from the ati catalyst control center and everything works fine except upon restart the computer goes back to TWINVIEW and i have to manually switch to dualview every LOGON!? help! thanks in advance [20:20] Tecna - huh? what command? (sorry i am somewhat distracted, maybe i forgot, that i talked to you) [20:20] Tecna, do you know where your USB is mounted at? [20:20] Pupeno→ make sure that cpu frequency scaling is enabled. [20:20] magnetron: I don't mean nice/renice, shouldn't Ubuntu lower the CPU freq when it's running too hot? [20:20] fearful: yes [20:20] marctw: are you running from the live cd or did you do an install? [20:20] Tecna, ok so in the terminal type sudo chmod 755 / [20:21] JPSman, You mean edit your menu.lst file? [20:21] but what exactly does that do? [20:21] Pupeno, it should if cpu supports it [20:21] Tecna, it changes the permissions so you can read/write [20:21] Pupeno, i know my celeron doesnt have cpu scaling [20:21] JPSman we need more info, how did you lose grub? Reinstalling windows [20:21] marctw - disabling some unneeded services might help a little, too. [20:21] fearful, if its a ntfs or vfat usb drive.. that wont work... he may wan tto run the ntfs-config command and check the 'allow users' features [20:22] I reinstalled windows and it removed grub from starting at the begining [20:22] fearful: will that be preserved for future mounts, or will I have to do that again? [20:22] JPSman no prob.. [20:22] !grub | JPSman [20:22] JPSman: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [20:22] JPSman single or dual hard drives [20:22] thank you thank you [20:22] Tecna, yea I think dr_Willis is right first check what type of file system it is. [20:22] usser: well, cat /proc/cpu is showing cpu MHz : 1000, so it's not even running at full throtle now. [20:23] Pupeno, then scaling works, the problem is with cooling [20:23] ext2/3/linux filesystems - that may work.. vfat/ntfs filesystems the permissions MUST be set by how they are mounted [20:23] it's vfat iirc [20:24] Tecna, install./run the ntfs-config tool and it has some check box options that may get it gouing right [20:25] Pupeno: I had this problem once. Come to find out, the heatsink on the CPU was crap and the blades were so close together, it was acting as a FILTER and was collecting any dust going through the fans [20:25] dr_Willis: I don't know how to do that. *pictures you facepalming* [20:25] Huufarted: in a laptop? [20:25] yessir [20:25] hi, which VPN prgram for intrepid would you suggest for accessing an unsecured wifi zone like a coffee house?

[20:25] What is the issue [20:26] ??? [20:26] OK DUDES, so im using fglrx as my graphics card driver and i got dual view/screen running from the ati catalyst control center and everything works fine except upon restart the computer goes back to TWINVIEW and i have to manually switch to dualview every LOGON!? help! thanks in advance [20:26] No, it all depends on the heat sink for the issue I was having, Pupeno. === dmphotography is now known as myownserver [20:26] <_niko> hmv: Thanks again that chartd does make a few things make more sence [20:26] Has anyone had this problem before? [20:26] or know how to fix the problem? [20:26] hello everybody [20:26] Huufarted: yes, I know, just checking. I'll open it before sending it to dell. [20:27] Pupeno: frequently in laptops, the fans are used to drag air through the heat sinks. My situation had the heat sink blades collecting the dust. After a year or so, there was so much dust, it was CAKED on there and I had to pick it out with tiny pliers [20:28] I'm having a wireless situation does anyone know how to help me through my issue?

[20:30] it's not ntfs. it's vfat [20:30] How do I check file permissions through command line?

This channel is the best support channel, I have seen for any distro. [21:05] Holy cow... I just realized how many people are in this channel. :-) === retube is now known as redtube [21:05] stip: meta packages, fake packages loaded down with false dependencies, they screw up dependency trees, just install the things underneath it explicitly [21:05] out of no where it stops working [21:05] how can i reset wine?

Most desktop users have no experience with it at all. The laptop users probably have a different chipset than you.

No real reset [21:06] thanks a lot bruenig === Nytrix is now known as Nytrix_ [21:06] compiz seems to be starting when I start up and its not in the session preferences... sooo where would I turn it off? [21:06] <_VIM_> stip just ignore the other "chefs" in this kitchen, you got your flash and java now. :) [21:06] Discipulus: ok. Don't know that device. [21:07] redvamp128: that is not correct advice [21:07] bruenig - some. The big difference between ubuntu and other distros is the search results in goolge, in my personal expirience. And people in this very channel are very friendly.

You're second guessing everyone in here, who are you to think you're the only one in here that can give good advice? Kinda arrogant no? [21:08] bruenig: then how else to do it- If he just re-installs wine it still retains the prior registry. [21:08] oh... ok thanks guys.. :-) [21:08] <_VIM_> now you just second guessed redvamp128, whos next on your list? [21:08] redvamp128: he needn't reinstall wine at all, just remove the configuration directory [21:08] People, lets play nice [21:08] <_VIM_> stip: anytime :) [21:08] _VIM_: it isn't a second guess, it is a correction [21:08] <_VIM_> whatever [21:08] U-b-u-n-t-u try installing "fusion-icon" [21:08] Help for a Ubuntu newbee with network config Ubuntu 8.10/ [21:08] <_VIM_> ok Jack_Sparrow :) [21:08] ? [21:08] after boot ubuntu asks for a password (needed for networkmanager), can I let it remember my password? [21:08] ty [21:09] Moreno: what is the problem? [21:09] whta is fusion icon? [21:09] MaT-dg: The root password? [21:09] MaT-dg: no.. for security reasons.. [21:09] bruenig: Even if he did that-- odds are because the registry is still there- would actually redo probably the error he is trying to fix [21:09] !fusion icon [21:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about fusion icon [21:09] BCM43: yes, to acces keyring [21:09] Hm... I think I found the info I need re: getting my X config in Ubuntu configured for a better screen resolution. Found reference to a config file to delete and also the xrandr command. [21:09] redvamp128: "registry" what is that [21:09] According to a post "A bit of googling (from my other computer) revealed that the problem was probably a bug in NetworkManager 0.7, which is a new package in Ubuntu 8.10. A work-around was recommended here. Following this work-around I first disabled NetworkManager from starting up by opening a terminal and entering:" [21:09] MaT-dg: ubuntu does not allow you to do that. [21:09] Scunizi_: when I use wicd instead of the default networkmanager this doesn't happen [21:10] BCM43, :P Your name seriously gives me the chills [21:10] hi, I need a service like this that I used with vista for ubuntu : http://gpass1.com/help-en/ [21:10] redvamp128: I told him to delete ~/.wine, is that what you are calling the registry? [21:10] MaT-dg, do you log on automatically?? without entering a username and password at the login screen? [21:10] hola [21:10] Plugh: resolution issues? nvidia? [21:10] unop: yes [21:10] loll [21:10] !hi | mike12 [21:10] mike12: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:10] Nytrix_ U-b-u-n-t-u - fusion-icon gives you a convenient icon with a menu, that lets you switch window manager and also access compiz settings manager easily. [21:10] samrocksc: lol [21:11] bruenig: yes that is where the registry is located but -- even by removing that folder would be the where... but still would have to reinstall wine. [21:11] so I removed network manager and ran "sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces" and added "auto eth0" and still no network on eth0 [21:11] redvamp128: why would he need to reinstall wine if he removed ~/.wine? [21:11] BCM43, hands down the worst thing a human being can end up on his laptop [21:11] MaT-dg, that's the problem .. pam (at this time) requires you to manually type a password out for the keyring to be unlocked === Nytrix_ is now known as Nytrix [21:11] I tried for 2 years trying to get a laptops internal wireless card working the Airforce one it used the BCM43xx drivers [21:11] bruenig: though by just doing that method-- if he did reinstall would actually create more issues. [21:11] I also added "face eth0 inet dhcp" [21:12] samrocksc: the reason it is my username is so that it alerts me when someone is talking about it, having walked many people thought it and gotten it working myself. [21:12] thats "iface eth0 inet dhcp" [21:12] Moreno, when invoking the super user with a graphical application (gedit), you'll want to use gksudo instead of sudo [21:12] redvamp128: I can't understand what you are saying [21:12] BCM43, lol [21:12] Scunizi_: I'm in the middle of getting Ubuntu up and running properly on my new computer. I have gotten it to boot. The screen resolution is waaaay too low. My distro is currently too old (mostly likely) to support nvidia so I'm trying to use just vga for now. [21:12] unop: ok thx, but do u know why this doesn't happen with wicd instead of the default networkmanager? [21:12] Plugh: why not install a different disrtro? [21:12] I'm trying to figure out medibuntu right now and get google earth hah [21:12] bruenig: THe way to get a fresh start would be remove from synaptic- then make sure the folder is gone the /.wine .. then reinstall so it would re-establish the correct files and permissions. [21:12] how do i regulate the size of the "$ zenity --file-selection" dialog ? [21:13] redvamp128: what your're saying to bruenig sounds more like what would happen on windows. ~/.wine is THE configuration file for wine.. reinstalling would make any difference. [21:13] redvamp128: there is no reason to delete the binary files from the filesystem and then replace them with the exact same binary files [21:13] bruenig: your method would actually create more problems than fix the issue. [21:13] MaT-dg, i guess wicd uses a different method of storing credentials not like nm which uses the keyring [21:13] Plugh: what distro version [21:13] BCM43: Ubuntu install disks don't seem to support machines with drives configured in RAID1. At least, not out of the box. [21:13] Is there a way to see list of hardware items which are not working due to driver absence? [21:13] Plugh: how about debian? [21:14] BCM43 I think you need the alt install for that [21:14] better link: http://gpass1.com/gpass/ Anything like this for ubuntu? [21:14] Scunizi_: Its old. Currently 6.06 (and I am working to get to where I will be updating it). [21:14] redvamp128: if you delete the ~/.wine directory, next time you run wine, it recreates it with defaults. The wine binaries in /usr don't matter [21:14] they don't ever change [21:14] Jack_Sparrow: for what? A different distro? Of course. [21:14] BCM43: yeah, I've been thinking about that as an alternative. === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [21:14] unop: ok I understand thx :) [21:15] BCM43 no just the alternate installer for ubuntu [21:15] BCM43 If you want to use ubuntu with existing FAKE-RAID1 Array, Boot livecd first you have to add the universy repo, then you cann get dmraid with apt-get install and run dmraind -ay , then you will see the RAID-Array and not sda and sdb [21:15] I was told I need qt-4.5 or so. Can you get that in Hardy? === Nytrix is now known as Nytrix_ [21:15] why is archive.ubuntu.com is so slow when coem to downloading package or updating ?! [21:15] Plugh: I used 6.06 for quite a while.. xrandr has nothing to do with that version.. you have to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to get the resolution that you want.. not sure why you're installing that only to upgrade when you could go right to 8.04 which is the next LTS release ofter 6.06 [21:15] Jack_Sparrow: ok, I see what you mean. I thought you meant to install a different distro you needed the alt cd. [21:15] I need to make a bootable CD-ROM as a demo for a program. I have done that in the past using Morphix. However, the tools expect a Debian like system. My normal default system is Fedora which is RPM based. [21:15] The post also suggested that I edit /etc/resolv.conf file and add nameserver 192.168.1.1 which on my install resolv.conf did not exist so I created it. Rebooted and still no network on eth0 [21:15] cyzie: use a mirror closer to you [21:15] BCM43 Cute.. but no.. [21:16] I must be retarded but I can't get the google earth package to install....i know i'm not in root but it should work [21:16] Is there a way to see list of hardware items which are not working due to driver absence? Similar to windows "device manager" with yellow question marks. [21:16] bruenig, hwo to switch mirror in command line? [21:16] just doing a ./googleearth === Nytrix_ is now known as Nytrix [21:16] samrocksc: what errors are you getting? [21:17] cyzie: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change the country code in front of the urls, so archive.ubuntu.com is us.archive.ubuntu.com [21:17] I think [21:17] I don't remember if that is what the mirrors look like [21:17] McShane, can we go private so I can better see your responces? [21:17] Plugh Sorry, how is that related to Ubuntu support.. Because we also are Debian based? [21:17] Plugh: If you're staying with 6.06 then edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to your liking.. if you have an nvidia card installed then use the nv driver.. vesa is another generic that may work. [21:17] Scunizi_: I have an 8.04 disk. If I can update my 6.06 from the CD, I will do it. When trying to install from the 8.10 CD I run in to problems related to lack of RAID support [21:17] bruenig: cyzie much easier to use SystemSofteare Sources [21:17] he wanted cli [21:17] !upgrade | Plugh [21:17] Plugh: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [21:17] just answering the question [21:17] bruenig: ok; my fault [21:18] ok [21:18] thanks === redtube is now known as ReEye === Nytrix is now known as to [21:18] Moreno, I don't know how to solve your problem, unfortunately. I was just pointing out the thing about sudo and gksudo. === to is now known as Nytrix_ [21:18] BCM43, bash: ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin: Permission denied [21:18] Plugh Did you try the suggest I had in my notes for running live, enabling universe and addeing a dmraid [21:18] samrocksc: so try as root. [21:19] Can someonoe please help me out [21:19] samrocksc: sudo sh ./Google.. etc. .etc [21:19] hmmm i just tried that hehe [21:19] !ask | benjamin_1 [21:19] benjamin_1: 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. :-) [21:19] samrocksc, did you do a chmod +x on the bin file? === Nytrix_ is now known as Nytrix [21:19] hmmm i haven't used chmod in a while i gave it 777 [21:20] 777 should work [21:20] samrocksc: chmod 755 .bin [21:20] yeah 777 always works heh [21:20] Jack_Sparrow: I'm not sure whose notes I used the info I found on a web page involving use of chroot to install dmraid. That has made Ubuntu happy about my hard drive configuration [21:20] how do I get 2 network interfaces working at the same time in networkmanager? (was a new feature in 8.10) [21:20] Scunizi, ubottu: I've asked the same question 4 times. I set up my pc to dual boot Vista x64 and Ubuntu, I don't want the Ubuntu Side anymore, How do I get rid of it? [21:20] 755 and 777 should work identically in this case [21:21] Plugh good to know.. 64 bit? [21:21] hehe 755 worked out for some reason :/ [21:21] weird [21:21] Jack_Sparrow: Not currently. Sticking with 32 bit for now. [21:21] you must not have had 777 [21:21] benjamin_1: delete the partitions for ubuntu and use your windows install cd to restore your windows version master boot record.. how to do that you should ask on ##windows [21:21] Thats what I think [21:21] benjamin_1: just reformat the ubuntu partition. later reinstall the vista bootloader with the vista installation cd [21:21] I'll be honest linux has gotten so fire and forget I haven't used Chmod in a year ........ [21:21] benjamin_1: for details on the later ask in ##windows [21:21] does ubuntu developers/team make any money when i use the default homepage in firefox: http://start.ubuntu.com/8.10/? if not, then i will change to google.com, but if they make money from it, ill keep it. [21:21] I am trying to get my GPS to work with linux [21:21] thanks guys [21:21] so I'm having to do some technical garbage [21:22] so my sound works - but the sound controller in gnome doesn't seem to link to anything [21:22] kristian2 change it [21:22] i can lower the sound on an application specific level [21:22] but not globally using the sound slider [21:22] bruenig, ARGH hahahaha now it starts to load and just shuts off [21:22] lol === pop79 is now known as elvis [21:22] Apparmor refuses to start on my computer, how can I find out why? The only thing terminal returns is $Loading AppArmor module: Failed. [21:22] paragonc_ please keep the question all on one so it is easier to read === elvis is now known as pop79 [21:23] benjamin_1 - most probably boot windows in repair mode and use fixmbr. i reccomend googleing about this before you try, because i cant help you any more besides giving this hint [21:23] hey guys maybe someone here is better with alsa than me. i can see my HDMI audio out if i do aplay -L but attempting to put anything out of it from speaker-test or aplay says no such device [21:23] does tor do anything to prevent a router from seeing my traffic? [21:23] samrocksc: google earth is kind of a piece of garbage on linux given that it is all wined out [21:23] bruenig, yeah :P [21:23] Jack_Sparrow : so that means they don't make any money by me using it instead of google.com? [21:23] Is there a way to see list of hardware items which are not working due to driver absence? Similar to windows "device manager" with yellow question marks. [21:23] bruenig, i wonder if google maps generates GPX files [21:23] hmw: Thanks I'm asking on the windows channel right now. Do you want me to post back with their comments? [21:24] kristian2 Not to my knowledge [21:24] benjamin_1 no thanks [21:24] bbiab [21:24] benjamin_1 - ask them, if there is a different way to do it for 64 bit, if so, i would like to know. thanks! [21:24] how do i get the gnome audio controls to take effect? [21:24] anyone in here ever played with a GPS and linux? [21:24] paragonc: what [21:24] samrocksc, you may need to rename a file -- GoogleEarth can be weird: http://blog.mymediasystem.net/avchd/google-earth-5-crashes-on-linux/ [21:24] my audio works - but the control bar in gdm doesn't seem to control the sound [21:25] sure things. Ill give you a pm [21:25] there is an audio control bar in the login manager? [21:25] The problem is no network on a fresh install of 8.10 and according to a post I with a fix I found it is a bug in Network Manager 0.7 [21:25] McShane, thanks man [21:25] Here is the link [21:25] http://tristram.squarespace.com/home/2008/11/3/ubuntu-810-network-problem.html [21:25] Jack_Sparrow : ok, it's kind of a pity though. i would definatly keep it as my homepage if they made money from it, so they could pay their employees/server costs, etc. but if they dont make any money from having it, then i guess it is useless for me to use. thanks for your reply/answer. :-) [21:26] ifconfig show eth0 is up but no IP address [21:26] kristian2 there are many ways to contribute time and or money [21:26] !contribute [21:26] To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [21:26] At the booting/loading screen (where the progress bar bounces back and forth) I have to hold space bar to get it too load. Once it gets to the solid progress bar, I can let go of space bar and it works fine. Any ideas? [21:27] Since I have not pimped it in awhile.. Free Ubuntu Book: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html [21:27] im using alternate cd to upgrade hardy to ibex, why is it still download some packages off the inet? [21:27] like right now i have music playing in amarok, and the sound on the slider @ the top all the way down - it still outputs audio [21:27] madmike: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst turn off the graphical boot stuff and see what is actually going on, then report back if you can't figure out the problem [21:27] kristian2: there's a lot of packages that need translation === Emu_ is now known as Emoo [21:27] !offtopic | Jack_Sparrow [21:27] Jack_Sparrow: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:28] bruenig Behave.. [21:28] bruenig: is is that progress bar/screen part of grub? [21:28] it also doesn't seem to control the sound in any other application, boxee, vlc, etc [21:28] Jack_Sparrow: thanks for the book [21:28] jebblue np, it is well done [21:28] madmike: well, no, but it is configured to come up in grub [21:29] Can I drag someone into PM for some help on stuff? D:? [21:29] hmw: if you boot to a windows vista install disk, select 'repair your computer' before installing, and open a command prompt, in the prompt type 'bootrec.exe /fixmbr' this will blow away grub and leave windows by itself, further than that you can open the Disk management software within windows, to delete the partition Ubuntu is on [21:29] madmike: I think you need to delete "quiet" and another word "splash" maybe [21:29] madmike: you can just copy and paste the grub line and I will tell you what options need to be disabled so you can see what is causing the problem [21:29] benjamin_1 thx [21:29] where's the proper place to put user-specific env vars? .bashrc? .profile? === pop79 is now known as elvis [21:29] Emu Please stay in the channel [21:30] .bashrc if you use bash only patmaddox [21:30] patmaddox: .bashrc probably [21:30] I plan to. [21:30] hmw: Sorry couldn't figure out how to pm. But I will try this now and report back [21:30] Just with scroll, I'd prolly lose my place. === elvis is now known as pop79 [21:30] benjamin_1 - its /msg hmw TEXT [21:30] joe-mac bruenig thanks [21:30] Emu We like to follow along to insure you aare getting correct advice [21:30] Ah, alright. [21:30] Jack_Sparrow & geirha : will have a look into that, :-) [21:31] hello [21:31] * Emu thinks of how to word his question [21:31] !hi | simonlimon [21:31] simonlimon: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:31] Emu You can also go to a slower but still ubuntu monitored channel instead of PM [21:31] hello..... i have a little problem... just installed ubuntu 8.10 and when using firefox, it distorts the websites when scrolling down.... [21:31] bruenig: http://paste.ubuntu.com/121194/ [21:31] leaves like traces [21:32] Does anyone know how to change the language for menus and icons? I changed my default language to Spanish. Mostly worked, but the XFCE menus are still in English. (When you install in Spanish, then they are Spanish.) [21:32] simonlimon: artifacts just in firefox or the entire screen? [21:32] bruenig: whoops, hold on [21:32] Jack Sparrow: Hmm. Could you point me to another, smaller room, please? [21:32] My Atheros 242x chipset wireless card quit detecting wireless networks. Is there anyone available who would possibly know why or how to fix it? [21:32] bruenig: well, actually it is happening here as well now that i notice [21:32] Emu Ask in here.. then go to #Ubuntu-classroom etc with your helper [21:32] bbl === pop79 is now known as elvis [21:32] Alrighty. [21:33] I have problem with my mic on Dell Inspiron 1545 under Ibex. No matter which configuration I try, it's not working. A symptom: If I go to the "sound preferences" menu (System->Preferences->sound) and I try to test "sound capture" even just under "test sound", I hear the beep begining and then dying off with a static noise... [21:33] when text is scrolling down it happens like it distorts.... [21:33] Can someone help me with this error when loading google earth http://paste.ubuntu.com/121196/ [21:33] simonlimon: it is an xorg issue. You have something misconfigured. Screen resolution, refresh rate, something [21:33] Discipulus: does iwconfig list show it ? [21:33] joe-mac: my wireless card? Yes [21:33] Can anyone help me install Java and make it work for Firefox? [21:33] jbbarnes, this problem i have also with german-english..dont found a solution , because download lang.pack dont bring solution [21:33] what should i do then bruenig? i just installed the nvidia driver from envyng on my compaq cq50 laptop [21:33] and what does iwlist scan say? [21:33] I will love you forever and ever :(? [21:33] No scan results === elvis is now known as pop79 [21:33] bruenig: http://paste.ubuntu.com/121197/ there it is might you also be able to tell me how to add a windows recovery partition in there so I can boot to that and fix vista? [21:33] hello everybody [21:33] simonlimon: nvidia has a configuration utility, like xnvidia-config or something [21:34] this might be a stupid question- but is this a laptop? if so, check the killswitch === kristian2 is now known as eIvis [21:34] Emu: have you done a sudo apt-config search to find java packages? [21:34] joe-mac: yes, laptop, how do I check the kill switch? [21:34] ahoj [21:34] Emu, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin [21:34] how can I use a bluetooth headset with intrepid? [21:34] Emu, that should get you java plus the plugins [21:34] ... [21:34] every laptop has one, some are actual switches, some are Fn+OtherKey [21:34] madmike: yeah so you see the lines that say "kernel" at the beginning of them way at the bottom? You want to delete the words "quiet" and "splash". Then reboot [21:34] Alright, I'll try that [21:34] Emu, sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.10/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ [21:34] i have nvidia server settings on my "system" menu [21:34] look for some kind of like tiny switch in a lpace where it shouldn't be [21:34] Emu, to enable the plugin [21:34] joe-mac: ok [21:34] or an icon that looks like a computer with parens around it [21:34] on one of the keys near the top === giuseppe is now known as Guest1214 [21:35] simonlimon: yeah that is probably it, nvidia server is a stupid name for it because nvidia is not a server, but yeah I imagine that is probably what it is. Maybe you can fix the configuration in there? [21:35] there is a wireless key on the top [21:35] and I pushed it, but to no avail [21:35] bruenig: alright, brb hopefully [21:35] Has anyone successfully installed ruby1.9 from apt? === Lenin_Cat is now known as elvis === eIvis is now known as kristian2 [21:35] y a du monde ? [21:35] yeah it gives me some options but nothing for refresh rate === elvis is now known as Lenin_Cat [21:35] bonsoir [21:35] fearful: thanks, trying this now [21:35] jbbarnes, i think, its xfce-spezific [21:36] Emu: A different approach to fearful's ln-command is to run « sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun ». This will change all java-links to that version. Fearful's only sets firefox's plugin. [21:36] simonlimon: play around with them, it may not be refresh rate, but I know it is an xorg configuration issue [21:36] does it say "no scan results" or "no wireless extensions" Discipulus [21:36] Emu, http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp you can test if it worked [21:36] geirha: this is just a temporary computer, however. it's only meant to last for a few days, until my new system gets here. [21:36] z'êtes tous anglophones ici ? [21:36] joe-mac: no scan results [21:36] thank you bruenig [21:37] joe-mac: everything results in "no scan results" [21:37] Emu: Either should work. I just think the update-java-alternatives command is easier to remember :) [21:37] I've got my IR-Remote control to communicate with my computer, but it won't interact with any program. I've enabled the Lirc plugin in rhythmbox but nothin happens... Any ideas? [21:37] that's a little odd, it shuold be saying "no wireless extensions" on your wired device nodes. what version of ubuntu is this Discipulus? [21:37] 8.10 xubuntu === pop79 is now known as elvis [21:38] do any applications actually respect the alternatives registry? [21:38] trop fort pour moi : au revoir [21:38] great bcm43 left and i still need help because following that website broke my xorg.conf file [21:38] any FAST repository to recomend? im using us or my is extremely slow. [21:38] we [21:38] cyzie: canada probably, just start testing out country codes === elvis is now known as pop79 [21:38] cyzie: so switch us for ca or uk or ru or whatever [21:38] bruenig, canada? [21:38] ok [21:38] geirha: thanks, mate. when i have time to mess with ubuntu after this ordeal, i'll be sure to give you a call [21:38] ru is where? [21:38] Under Gparted I see an exclamation mark next to one of the partitions, what does it mean? [21:39] Back to my original problem... How can I change the read/write permissions of a fat32 usb drive? [21:39] I just resized some ext3 partitions, and now a bunch of my directories appear as empty [21:39] Is there a way to have the fans automatically controlled on a mac? [21:39] They're constantly going and it's irritating. [21:39] but the space seems to be in use [21:39] any ideas guys? [21:39] I thought macs were supposed to be quieter than PCs? [21:39] cyzie: russia [21:40] felixsulla: they are, even with the fan on [21:40] but os x controls the fan [21:40] and most of the time it's completely off [21:40] felixsulla: pcs are not monoliths [21:40] i'm trying to edit a file in gedit but its saying I don't have the right permissions [21:40] there are fanless pcs [21:40] whereas with ubuntu, it's just going whiirrr whiirrr [21:40] there are water cooled pcs [21:40] bruenig, ok [21:40] fearful: when i type the second command, i get ln: target `/user/lib/firefox/plugins/' is not a directory: No such file or directory [21:40] constantine: edit it as root [21:40] So anybody know what it means? [21:40] Oh, wait. [21:40] Emu usr not user [21:40] There we go, fixed the problem [21:40] bruenig, been stuck with the upgrade for more than 12hours without any good progress, very frustrated! [21:41] anybody is using a bluetooth headset with intrepid? [21:41] Does anyone know how to change the language for menus and icons? I changed my default language to Spanish. Mostly worked, but the XFCE menus are still in English. (When you install in Spanish, then they are Spanish.) [21:41] bruenig: how? [21:41] constantine: well, I think the typical advice is gksudo gedit file [21:42] fearful, geirsha, n8tuserf: thank you all [21:42] joe-mac: any idea [21:42] Emu, your welcome, did it fix your problem? [21:42] it did [21:42] Emu, great. === kevin__ is now known as uvacav [21:42] bruenig: ok thanks [21:43] ....I fear the day I mess with Gentoo [21:43] Nobody that has an idea about my partition resizing problems? [21:43] jbbarnes, i think english will stay in the menue with xfce [21:43] any1 want to try codeweavers.com i can install it for u for free :) NOT A DEMO [21:43] Under gparted there's an exclamation mark next to one of the partitions, how do I fix it? [21:43] Thanks for the comments. I'm rebooting to Ubuntu and see if I can get the X screen resolution changed. I'll deal with upgrading to a more recent version after that. [21:43] msg me [21:43] Nytrix, you shouldn't promote piracy here. [21:43] :) [21:44] no its says i can do that [21:44] the license [21:44] Once again, thank you all for your love, care, and support. [21:44] DeannaT2: Could I copy the files from my other machine perhaps to do it by hand. It's almost all in Spanish on the machine where I installed in Spanish. Bummer. [21:44] bruenig: quick question, what does the "makeactive" mean on some of the menu choices? [21:44] why is apt-get update is so slow?? [21:44] jbbarnes: Have you tried asking in the spanish channel? [21:44] !es > jbbarnes [21:44] jbbarnes, please see my private message [21:45] madmike: I don't know [21:45] geirha: Thanks. [21:45] ok [21:45] jbbarnes, dont know if this works, is it xfce? because on my gnome-machine it works all too [21:45] So is there anybody that could help me? [21:45] gardar - i didnt see your previous question - what is the problem? [21:46] how do i tell if im running a 64bit kernel ? [21:46] #join #xubuntu [21:46] join #xubuntu [21:46] hmw, I just resized some ext3 partitions, and now a bunch of my directories appear as empty [21:46] but the space seems to be in use [21:46] any ideas guys? [21:47] corrupt filesystem + [21:47] why is ubuntu apt-get update took forever?! debian apt-get update is efficiently fast [21:47] reinstall everything [21:47] paragonc: uname -a [21:47] gardar: just let fsck do its job, and see what it says [21:48] gardar - did you use du or du -h to see, if the space is still used? [21:48] and if it finds a lot of errors be prepared for a case of carpal tunnel from rapidly slamming the 'y' key [21:48] dayo2: 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [21:48] How do I reset my IP in Ubuntu? [21:48] hmw, it's mounted and nautilius shows a bunch of space being used [21:48] paragonc: looks like 32bit to me [21:48] I'm not getting any sound with my new motherboard's onboard sound, aplay -l returns 'no soundcards found...". Can someone please help me get sound to work? [21:48] Jampiter -> what do you meant by reset? getting a new one? [21:48] paragonc: i686 = 32-bit. "86_64" is the 64-bit designation [21:48] gardar - pls double check with du -h [21:48] BULLE, how should I run fsck? [21:49] lame... im on an AMD 64 [21:49] n8tuserf: Yes [21:49] Jampiter -> dhcp or static ? [21:49] paragonc: did u install 64bit ubuntu? [21:49] n8tuserf: [21:49] can i update to the 64bit kernel - or do i have to reinstall [21:49] n8tuserf: I have no idea [21:49] Jampiter -> then why do you even care getting it reset if you have not idea? [21:49] gardar: is this your root filesystem ? [21:49] n8tuserf: I would think static [21:49] paragonc: do you need 64-bit for particular tasks? [21:50] n8tuserf: I have reasons [21:50] BULLE, nope, an external hdd [21:50] n8tuserf paragonc - "reset" sounds like dhcp - re-request IP via DHCP: sudo dhclient eth0 -1 (if eth0 is the device you want to reset) [21:50] McSahne - i'm trying to run a media center [21:50] paragonc: u can update, but u'll also need to update all your packages. personally, i would reinstall clean [21:50] gardar: okies, no worries then, just unmount it, and then run fsck.ext3 on it [21:50] hrmmm [21:50] k [21:50] gardar: the manpage tells you how to do it [21:50] okok [21:50] gardar: the big important thing is to NOT have the filesystem mounted [21:50] any way to make apt-get update work FAST ? [21:50] cyzie: buy faster cpu + [21:50] paragonc: in that case, 64-bit can help with video conversion, but it's not going to make your computer "faster" [21:50] Jampiter -> unless you explain, i may give you the wrong advice, so please explain for what usage this is for [21:51] cyzie: get a faster internet connection? [21:51] BULLE, are you stupid? [21:51] cyzie, faster network connection and faster disks. [21:51] cyzie: no, are you ? [21:51] dayo2, not an option now [21:51] Can anybody help me use GParted please? [21:51] cyzie: then u'll have to be patient [21:51] hmw -> that will not acquire a new ip address btw [21:51] hey guys i think i did something with my advanced compiz settings... i cannot see my taskbar...i see it for a brief second when i switch desktops but not when i'm on a desktop [21:51] Boo, ask away [21:51] n8tuserf - what? really?? i think it does?? let me check [21:51] dayo2, wil you tolerate for apt-get update toook 2 hours++ ?! [21:51] !ask | Boo [21:51] Boo: 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. :-) [21:52] hmw yes, typically it will attempt to reuse the old one, because its stored in an cache [21:52] cyzie: what kind of connection u got? when last did u update? [21:52] !ask [21:52] 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. :-) [21:52] slow connection [21:52] hmw -> go look for leases and you will see [21:52] n8tuserf - aah. yes. in terms of "resetting" it could have helped. [21:52] hi to all [21:52] bruenig: when it boots, it loads some scripts, mounts root, and then says "waiting for root" and thats when I have to start holding in the space bar. Once it's done with the scripts, I can let go, and it finishes booting [21:53] hello, guys ain't "ssh -D 3356 vieq@some.server" to tunnel me through my server? [21:53] it's phreaking slow! [21:53] unbrearable [21:53] cyzie: if it's your connection, then u'll need to do something about it, or endure it [21:53] I recently compiled GTK2+ and I LOST human default theme..... getting many errors... someone knows how to restore the human theme ??? [21:53] VieQ, it sets up a socks proxy you can use [21:53] right [21:53] cyzie: personally, i've never had a 2hr update [21:53] cyzie, then get a better connection or be patient. Not much you can do [21:53] !ask BooBack [21:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask BooBack [21:53] cyzie, you might have luck with a local mirror [21:53] so I should n't be waiting for a login or anything [21:53] ? [21:54] guys i can't see my taskbar, it appears for a second when i switch workspaces but then its gone when i'm on a workspace..and i don't know how to turn off desktop effects since i can't go to the Appearance tab in the taskbar [21:54] mechturk, tried that, apt-get update just slow [21:54] Nytrix: I have asked, several times, but nobody seems to answer [21:54] madmike: so it hangs trying to mount root? [21:54] just set up my browser & use it? [21:54] cyzie: and this is africa, mind you. where broadband is like a unicorn. no one's ever seen one [21:54] msg me boo [21:54] bruenig: no, it mounts root, and then says "waiting on root", thats where it hangs [21:54] hi [21:54] McShane - my biggest issue right now is flash [21:54] madmike: what does it mean "waiting on root" [21:54] McShane - it runs super slow [21:55] bruenig: I have no idea, but thats where it hangs [21:55] BooBack, You're asking if anyone can help you. Just tell us what the problem is and we'll do our best to help, but nobody is going to give you a proper answer if you ask "Can anyone help?". [21:55] ok [21:55] paragonc, that should not be an issue at all [21:55] Seveas, am I right? [21:55] madmike: the only thing I can think of is that it is waiting for it to mount [21:55] how do you remove php and all its traces i stuffed up when installing it and my only chance is to rremove all traces and reinstall [21:55] bruenig: why would I have to hold in space bar though? [21:55] n8tuserf paragonc - shouldnt /etc/init.d/networking restart do the trick? [21:55] hi people [21:55] VieQ, yes. [21:55] !anyone | BooBack [21:55] BooBack: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [21:55] ok checking [21:55] paragonc, are you using the flash-plugin-nonfree or the "other one" [21:55] Th0rz: how did u install in the first place? [21:56] paragonc: slow Flash is usually related to the browser or how your flash libraries have been installed. 64 bits won't have any effect. [21:56] sudo apt-get install php5 [21:56] Running Ubuntu Hardy, trying to compile latest LMMS. An LMMS dev took a look at a pastebin of the errors I got and said I needed qt 4.5 [21:56] McShane: im using the non free one [21:56] :) [21:56] Is that available for Hardy?

[22:28] but I was able to use the shares from my other ubuntu laptop, and I think windows laptops can also gain access to my share. [22:28] What workgroup or domain does ubuntu share with? [22:28] dunno, but I browsed windows shares, so I figured it works both ways.

[22:31] rtypo: just apt-get install libsdl-ttf2.0-0 it makes my ./configure work [22:32] magnetron: i dont know whats releveant. someone gave me a giude that was on ubuntuforums.org which told me to edit xorg.conf commenting out the original mouse part and entering a neqw one. but all that fdid was break xorg.conf so it wouldnt load [22:32] Kagee, I think you need to do iptables save or smth. [22:32] mikewu: damn. [22:32] rtypo: you're tryint to build it from source right? [22:32] mikewu: you're right [22:32] Kagee, so it will get launched by an init script during your bootup process. [22:32] mikewu: yes [22:32] Kagee, dunno the magic behind that in ubuntu. === markus_ is now known as Sniper [22:32] Anyone know what the performance boost is when using ext4 instead of ext3? [22:33] tzenrick, it's plenty. dunno of numbers tho. [22:33] mikewu: it works now:) hehe === Sniper is now known as Guest85577 [22:33] All I've seen is "the super-fast ext4 filesystem" [22:33] tzenrick, actually, it could be the new kernel as well.. but my old x40 ibm laptop, it became more responsive, and the boot up process is faster too. [22:33] windows 7 gives an None Device identified error at grub [22:33] tzenrick: i tihnk ars technica had an artical on it the other day. i'm not sure where i read it. [22:33] the machine just feels more robust. [22:33] Can anyone help me with a problem I'm having with my resolution? [22:33] what i acn do? [22:33] tzenrick, and that's only on a ext3 fs that was MIGRATED to ext4.

[22:40] what is the linux equivalent of windoze ipconfig? [22:40] tzenrick: ubuntu.com [22:40] Mikaze, I hear good things about Plustek... [22:40] i d like to know in what format is one of my partition [22:40] now I can't update anything. [22:40] Mikaze, but I don't know. I never used a scanner professionally.

[22:41] tzenrick: why do you want a beta of ubuntu? [22:41] mikewu: Thanks! [22:41] IndyGunFreak: yes [22:41] DaveIngram, ipconfig is the equivalent of *NIX's ifconfig [22:41] tzenrick: hang on [22:41] erichofmann: what is the error? [22:41] imachine: yeah.. I figured that question was backwards.. just didn't know how to phrase it better [22:41] Can anyone help with my screen resolution problem? [22:41] DaveIngram, ifconfig [22:41] is a blu ray iso of the entire jaunty repo planned (for AMD64)? [22:41] jerknextdoor: I'm just gonna start with ext4 native partitions. [22:41] dpk was interruped, you must manually run dpkg --confure -a [22:41] DaveIngram, ;) [22:42] jerknextdoor: instead of migrating. [22:42] Plustech. Thanks. Will look them over.

[22:42] danbas: ask that in #Ubuntu+1 [22:42] erichofmann, sudo dpkg --configure -a [22:42] IndyGunFreak: so would you know [22:42] K. Thank you. [22:42] tzenrick: as far as i know ext4 isn't currently supported therefore you'd have to get an Alpha of 9.04 or 9.10 and alphas are definitely not stable. [22:42] dayo2: I'm good, found it on distrowatch. [22:42] DaveIngram, don't worry, take your time. [22:42] qcjn: i'm sure there's a terminal command for it, i just don't know it. [22:42] Mikaze, no problem. good luck. [22:42] OH hi. [22:42] eseven73: oh yeah, thanks! [22:42] I'm having more problems.

[22:43] tried that mcShane [22:43] I can't watch Youtube videos D: [22:43] jerknextdoor: ars technica lied to me... :( [22:43] qcjn: beyond that, you could install gparted (sudo apt-get install gparted), then system/admin/partition editor, it should tell you what filesystems they are [22:43] no luck [22:43] yowshi: google seems to have a lot of suggestions [22:43] Emu, do you have flash support enabled? [22:43] erichofmann: what errors did it give you? [22:43] mikewu, there is Mustek as well. again, with a k at the end. [22:43] fearful: I don't believe so. [22:43] oops. [22:43] ;] [22:43] IndyGunFreak: yeah, i think thats what i ll do [22:43] tzenrick: i could be completely wrong. by all means double check it. [22:44] I need to change the color depth on my monitor to 16 bit temporarily (old, old, old computer game under wine). How can I do this? [22:44] jerknextdoor: nvm. 9.04 is definitely still alpha... Beta I'm OK with, but I have to be at least a little stable. [22:44] crap. thought I cut and pasted... [22:44] Emu, well theres the root of your problem sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree libflashsupport [22:44] brb [22:44] jerknextdoor, if you google long enough you can find whatever answer you want to any question u ask [22:44] tzenrick, you can launch i in a vm [22:44] like, virtualbox. [22:44] squirt33: put DefaultDepth 16 in Section "Screen" of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X [22:45] !paste | erichofmann [22:45] erichofmann: 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) [22:45] it's available for ubuntu.

[22:45] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run dpk --configure -a to correct the problem. E:_cache-> open()failed, please report [22:45] Hi [22:45] I'm going to ditch openSUSE and install Ubuntu, but I'm not sure where I should go with the 32 or 64-bit version. What's the conventional wisdom? Especially if I want Opera with Adobe Flash 10? [22:45] like I said before, tzenrick, it is *pretty* stable. some gnome apps crash once in a while, but generally, it works. the fonts seem dodgy at times. I have compiz running no probs. [22:45] Anyone knows a bar of icons automatically hiding very nice ? [22:45] homercycles: 32bit is usually a bit easier to set up in my experience [22:46] jerknextdoor: Not an experiment. [22:46] Style Avant Window Manager but much better ? [22:46] jerknextdoor: yeah thats what i need to be told to buzz off and use google [22:46] tzenrick, then wait for the real final deal. [22:46] go with 64bit. [22:46] tzenrick: RC's will be out soon enough. [22:46] yowshi, pretty much :) [22:46] fearful: i get an error when doing that, i'll PM it to you since it's a bit big [22:46] crdlb: The last time I did that my compiz fusion install died on me. [22:46] AVM is too slow. I saw something more interesting on a Fedora .... [22:46] homercycles: it doesn't matter. just get away from those rpms. but i agree, try 64-bit first [22:46] IndyFunGeek: I have the 64-bit ver on another partition but didn't have a lot of luck gettin gFlash working, and I saw it was pulling in the 32-bit version, not the 64-bit version. [22:46] yowshi, unless you provide some debug info for us ;) [22:46] Emu, ok [22:46] imachine: I have to run a VM anyways... Unless Zune support has come along. [22:46] we're not mind readers. [22:46] all the package manager apps fail because of this. did I corrupt a bunch of files in /lib? [22:46] where can I find Gnomes icons? [22:46] is it safe to have a 64-bit OS pulling down 32-bit libraries? [22:46] tzenrick, dunno about zune and dno't care about zune. [22:47] thanks, going to have a llok [22:47] ;P [22:47] imachine: no that isnt what i need. the google solutions all require editing xorg.conf and the LAST time i tried that i broke my frigging system. obviously i need more on hands guidance or help for this [22:47] squirt33: if you're using nvidia, that'll break window decorations (and turn gnome-terminal white), but you can just temporarily switch to metacity, I guess [22:47] homercycles: yes [22:47] yowshi, you need to backup your xorg conf for starters :-) [22:47] imachine: I didn't care about zune either, until my wife said she mailed me one for my b-day. [22:47] raylu: thanks. I might stick with 64, then (though I'm still downloading a 32-bit ISO, just in case) [22:47] yowshi, at least before you edited it. it's good practice ;) [22:47] tzenrick, tzk tzk. [22:47] imachine: yea did that but using the ackup doesnt fix my problem. i tried that method twice. and twice i had to reload the backup [22:47] tzenrick, tough luck. [22:48] heeeeelp, I pressed windows key+r and now I'm stuck super zoomed in lol [22:48] what about all the binary-only codecs and such like. Are there 64-bit versions of those for Ubuntu? [22:48] yowshi, dunno, what's wrong with that mouse anyway? I've asked you once already, didn't get a response... [22:48] Hello, can someone help me with wireless configuration? [22:48] imachine: It's definitely the thought that counts though. [22:48] still with me McShane? [22:48] crdlb: I mean like no log in, no GUI. [22:48] tzenrick, right. reckon she'd appreciate the thought of selling it on ebay for an ipod? [22:48] imachine: i thought i told everyone who asked. ok when i restart my system it works for a bit then suddenly stops working [22:48] :-) [22:48] (yes, I've looked at the WifiDocs) [22:49] yowshi, what mouse model, what does dmesg say after it stops working? [22:49] imachine: Probably not :) [22:49] erichofmann, yeah, searching around Google [22:49] if it's usb, does replugging it make it work again? [22:49] yowshi, what version of ubuntu are you running? [22:49] MSG me if anyone wants WINDOWS software installed in UBUNTU. [22:49] How can you set a custom paper size in ubuntu? IE, not Letter,A4,A5, whatever. [22:49] imachine: i have no idea what dmesg says because i have no idea how to read whats in the dmesg file. i know how to load it but not understand what it says. it's a standard basic 2 button scrollwheel logitech usb mouse [22:50] Sorry, [22:50] ahah [22:50] imachine: ubuntu 8.10 64bit [22:50] I took a look around too... one post said to rename an old file (forget which one) and I did, and it seemed to work, until i launched one of the package manager apps again. [22:50] One knows about an icon bar in Mac style like Avant Window Manager [22:50] squirt33: not sure what exactly that means, but if you really want to run this app, you can just disable visual effects temporarily [22:50] yowshi, it's not about "reading" it (tho it is pretty much simple english, but that's beside the point) by asking "what dmesg says" I meant, show me ;] [22:50] fearful: sadly, that didn't work. :( [22:50] Nytrix: Why do you hate the freedom? [22:50] imachine: it's a basic mose just usb instead of ps2 [22:50] yowshi, pastebin.com helps paste. [22:51] yowshi, paste the dmesg messages after the mouse stops working. also, you didn't answer my question, that is, does it work if you replug it?

[22:53] imachine: how do i get the dmesg into pastebin if i cant highlight the text spit ot? [22:53] and voila. [22:53] yowshi, did you try what I told you?
