[00:00] WarriorSlayer: other distros such as Gentoo sure, but Ubuntu no [00:00] sebsebseb: never mind, i find it out , thanks anyway :) [00:00] sebsebseb: why? [00:00] ikonia: but i need 1000mbps to transfer files across the network at a full 300 [00:00] dufourj: then try it [00:00] dufourj: you won't get 300mps [00:00] WarriorSlayer: because Ubuntu isn't really the type of distro where people tend to compile their own kernels if at all [00:00] ikonia: how will i test it? [00:00] WarriorSlayer: you can do it if you want and know what you are doing [00:00] dufourj: move a file [00:01] dufourj: or use ethtool to check the link status [00:01] victoria: ah ok [00:01] dufourj: or read the syslog [00:01] sebsebseb: ikonia: but there's anything from ubuntu that gonna lock me of this? [00:01] how do i open ports up in iptables [00:01] like ubuntu trying to update my kernel using the stable one? [00:01] WarriorSlayer: no [00:01] ikonia: i might transfer a file from ramdisk [00:01] does anyone know how much the memory footprints differs between the 8.10 desktop version and server version? I'm thinking of maybe switching from desktop to server afterall, since I'll probably won't be using the gui anyway [00:01] WarriorSlayer: why do you want to compile yoru own? [00:01] sebsebseb: to optimize my kernel [00:02] Iceman_B^Ltop: then it won't difer [00:02] WarriorSlayer: in what way ? [00:02] disabling stuff that i don't need [00:02] to make the booting time faster [00:02] Iceman_B^Ltop: infact you'll be better on the generic desktop kernel - rather than the server [00:02] WarriorSlayer: such as - [00:02] WarriorSlayer: if you want more control of your technical system under the hood, Ubuntu probably isn't really the correct distro [00:02] WarriorSlayer: the ubuntu kernel is modular, so you only load what you need [00:02] ikonia: oh, okay [00:02] WarriorSlayer: so I'm curious to how you think that will make it faster [00:02] ikonia: it's 100% modular? [00:02] WarriorSlayer: yup [00:02] ikonia: thanks for the help [00:03] there's nothing in the ubuntu kernel that is inside the kernel? [00:03] WarriorSlayer: only stuff that can't be built as a module, or that is required for ubuntu's components to work [00:03] does anyone knoe how to install linux onto my router a linksys wrt310on [00:03] WarriorSlayer: Ubuntu's kernel should be fine, unless maybe your going to do something really fancy that requires some other kernel [00:03] nephish: I checked man interfaces. nothing wrong from there. My file contains [00:03] dufourj: you need a special distro [00:03] auto lo [00:03] iface lo inet loopback [00:03] iface eth0 inet static [00:03] address 134.102.141.199 [00:03] netmask 255.255.255.0 [00:03] Tarawneh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:03] gateway 134.102.141.250 [00:03] Tarawneh: please stop [00:03] ikonia: is it possible, and what are the benifits? [00:04] oh ty very much then guys ^^ [00:04] dufourj: no idea if it's possible on your specific model, and if you don't have a need to do it there will be no benifits [00:04] sorry [00:04] WarriorSlayer: by the way [00:04] hey anyone here use kde? i would like some help trying to figure out how to change how it does some stuff === spikku is now known as Guest17827 [00:04] WarriorSlayer: Ubuntu only releases security updates, well there are some ppa for some apps. for later stuff yes you would need a later version of Ubuntu [00:04] does anyone know what a good 1000mbps NIC is for ubuntu 8.04? [00:05] WarriorSlayer: where as other distros are more cutting edge [00:05] dufourj: read the supported list [00:05] sebsebseb: hmm understood [00:05] someone knows of a utility that can read s.m.a.r.t data from a file? [00:05] ikonia: im looking for personal antecdote [00:05] dufourj: all the ones that are supported are fine [00:05] How do I upgrade using a alternative CD? [00:05] !upgrade > Flare183 [00:05] Flare183, please see my private message [00:05] thanks ikonia [00:06] WarriorSlayer: just out of curiosity why did you want to compile yoru own anyway? [00:06] cappiz: you can't read SMART data from a file.. but the utility smartctl will give you the info for a drive. [00:06] cappiz: smartctl -a /dev/hda [00:06] sebsebseb: to make it more faster having only things that i need [00:06] for my pc [00:06] or whatever device [00:06] ikonia: im also looking for a purchase location and price from another successful user [00:06] WarriorSlayer: get Jaunty when it's released and do Ext4 and you got faster [00:06] nephish: http://paste.ubuntu.com/121621/ [00:06] MoTec, i have the data in a file [00:06] WarriorSlayer: April yeah [00:06] dufourj: that doesn't matter as people are form around the world, look in your local shops or the main websites for your region [00:07] sebsebseb: jaunty = the next ubuntu version? [00:07] the device cant be read, as it is attached to a raid kontroller [00:07] WarriorSlayer: yes the next Ubuntu version [00:07] cappiz: good luck === daedra1 is now known as daedra [00:07] WarriorSlayer: default is Ext3, but it has Ext4 support [00:07] yep i know [00:07] ikonia: i shop online! [00:07] new kernels have ext4 support [00:07] there should be a program that can read the data :P [00:07] but anyway i would need to format my partitions [00:07] how do i chown everythign within a directory? [00:07] as i do have the hex data [00:07] dufourj: ok - so shop online, find the best deals, this isn't a shopping channel [00:08] mrpockets: chown -R [00:08] and still there's not much support for ext4 [00:08] WarriorSlayer: yep probably [00:08] WarriorSlayer: not much suppourt for Ext4????? [00:08] WarriorSlayer: what is the diffference between ext3 and ext4 [00:08] dufourj: one is more mature [00:08] how do i open ports up in iptables [00:08] dufourj: ext4 is 1 betterer than ext3 [00:08] i think the way files are written and read from the disk [00:08] hi guys. [00:08] sobersabre: hi [00:09] I have connected 2 machines with 2 giga NICs one to another. [00:09] DVA5912: the most basic way is: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport -j ACCEPT [00:09] and for some reason they are currently connected at 100 Mb/s [00:09] cappiz: if you can't read it with a text file i'm not sure what smart data you have.. [00:09] Tarawneh, when you do the network restart then do ifconfig, do you get the same thing ? i mean [00:09] cappiz: what i see generally looks like: http://www.3ware.com/kb/attachments/smartmonexampleoutput.txt [00:09] one has a nic with forcedeth, and another is r8169 [00:09] when you first boot, do you have the ssame statts?? [00:09] thanks ikonia [00:09] as when after you do network restart [00:09] ? [00:10] also, how do i prevent mounted drives from appearign on desktiop [00:10] can I force them to be working at gigbit ? [00:10] why doesnt the man page for date say anything about "date -I"? [00:10] mrpockets: thats a paramater within gconf [00:10] whats better for putting songs on an ipod, rhythmbox or amarok? [00:10] i want to know a command that gets date and time in a non-space format [00:10] mrpockets, press alt + f2 and type gconf-editor [00:10] homeskill: not sure if either can do it even [00:10] meoblast001: date can do it if you look at the options [00:10] ikonia: i did look [00:10] homeskill: and not even Banshee as far as I know. Intrepid Ibex versin of Bansehe very good [00:10] nephish: yes [00:11] thank fearful [00:11] homeskill: I know out there some where, is what is meant to be a very good iturnes open source alternative though [00:11] mrpockets, then look under apps/nautilus/desktop [00:11] sebastien_ an ubuntu community forum says that banshee and amarok and gtkpod can do i [00:11] mrpockets, should be volumes visible and untick that and voila [00:11] ikonia: %F makes no sense to me [00:11] rewt, how would i specift output [00:11] homeskill: well use Banshee then :) make sure it's Intrepid Ibex version [00:11] ikonia: date %F didn't do anything [00:11] meoblast001: date +%m%d%y [00:11] amazing [00:12] thanks agian man! [00:12] mrpockets, your very welcome [00:12] MoTec, ah thanks :) [00:12] how to use http://paste.ubuntu.com ? [00:12] DVA5912, you can allow all related/established connections out with: iptables -A OUTPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT [00:12] cappiz: is it just text? :) [00:12] DVA5912, one rule for all ports [00:12] rewt: ext2 is better than ext3 because you can recover deleted files [00:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/121624/ [00:13] ext2? [00:13] Can anybody recommend a good program that I can use (live CD probably) that will let me resize my active Linux partition? [00:13] dufourj: that can be done with Ext3. I did that with a WIndows program though. that could get into deleted partitions to [00:13] MoTec, i get the status, temp etc. [00:13] Man i really really hate to go back on windows just for my dell axim [00:14] Huufarted, yea LiveCD since it has to be unmounted [00:14] Huufarted: gparted, which i believe is included in the ubuntu live cd installer [00:14] Huufarted: gparted [00:14] does anyone know how to make a USB stick install Ubuntu? It won't detect the CD-ROM. I remember seeing a way to symlink the USB device to the CD-ROM directory, but i can't find it [00:14] MoTec, thanks. :) [00:14] but twa0, is that port 0 on the controller MoTec? [00:14] sebsebseb: so you admit that windows offers some proprietary programs that linux cnt match? [00:14] DVA5912: are you threatening us? [00:14] Motec, will it let me resize NTFS partitions? [00:14] NoNick34234: do u have ubuntu 8.10 installed? [00:14] yes [00:14] dufourj: no the program I used was open source [00:14] prince_jammys, Huufarted gparted is on LiveCD [00:14] lol BCM43 [00:14] but i want to install a command-line system with the alt. cd [00:14] fearful, thanks. :) I appreciate it [00:14] cappiz: not sure.. sounds like it. [00:14] sebsebseb: doubtful, then whhy was it written for a proprietary OS? [00:14] Ok, only got response for that disk, not the others :) [00:14] hmm.. [00:14] NoNick34234: install just the base system [00:15] is that an option on the main CD? [00:15] cappiz: the tools report on only one drive at a time, maybe that's why [00:15] NoNick34234: I don't think so [00:15] dufourj: would load stuff up in the command prompt [00:15] unless they just appended the second file to the end of the first [00:15] NoNick34234: I think the minimal cd would work even better [00:15] MoTec: ok [00:15] dufourj: and I never said I was a MS hater, and dual boots can be useful at times, Windows and Ubuntu [00:15] hey all, my wireless is still messed up D= [00:16] the problem isn't the CD i'm using, its that I'm using a USB stick to install it [00:16] syzothermy: what is the problem? [00:16] NoNick34234: system> administrator> create bootable disk [00:16] and it tries to detect my non-existant CD [00:16] network-manager works fine for my WEP (using it now), but should it disconnect, it won't automatically reconnect [00:16] NoNick34234: I see. I assume your computers BIOS is configured correctly? [00:17] yes, LiveUSB distros work fine [00:17] smartctl --device=3ware,1 -a /dev/twa0 [00:17] smartctl --device=3ware,2 -a /dev/twa0 [00:17] :) [00:17] NoNick34234: sorry i didnt get wht exactly is ur prob [00:17] its a known and verified bug, but i can't google a fix, although i remember seeing on in the past [00:17] NoNick34234: but what happens if you try to install (sorry if you already gave this info) [00:18] cappiz: hehe, yep [00:18] it gets to the point of detecting the CD-ROM and then fails, since i'm using a USB stick [00:18] cappiz: /dev/twa0 is the raid controller, or the virtual device the system sees that array as, I suppose. [00:18] NoNick34234: did u check the boot priority? [00:18] NoNick34234: But you said that the graphical works fine. [00:19] c u :) [00:19] yes, until it tries to detect the cdrom [00:19] anyone? :P [00:19] NoNick34234: which laptop are u suing? [00:19] NoNick34234: doesn't it need to do that in the beginning? [00:19] using* [00:19] anyone here familiar with how dkms works with the nvidia drivers? [00:19] can someone help me with flux menu and running sudo within the menu? [00:19] syzothermy: what do you want? [00:19] MoTec, twa0 would be the unit on the controller :) [00:19] network-manager works fine for my WEP (using it now), but should it disconnect, it won't automatically reconnect <-- [00:19] it boots normally off the usb stick, asks about my keyboard layout, then fails when it tries to find the cdrom [00:19] any ideas? [00:20] no [00:20] syzothermy: it must be in the configuration. Look around the properties/preferences. [00:20] i used Unetbootin [00:20] the "automatically reconnect" checkbox doesnt help [00:20] NoNick34234: could it be a messed up usb stick? [00:20] cappiz: yeah, but twa0 represents more than one drive.. thats's what the /device=3ware,1 ,2 is about [00:20] ,1 is one drive, ,2 another [00:20] NoNick34234: or a messed up configuration of the usb stick? [00:20] syzothermy, make sure its set to Auto under 'Edit Connections' menu === usser_ is now known as usser [00:20] yeah, that one [00:20] BCM43: no, its a known bug. it just expects a cdrom instead of a usb stick [00:21] NoNick34234 try another usb stick [00:21] NoNick34234: do you have the link to the bug? [00:21] didn't do its job :P [00:21] i remember seeing a way to symlink the usb device to the cdrom device to trick it [00:21] syzothermy, have you tried restarting your system [00:21] i'll get the bug [00:21] many times, still doesn't auto reconnect [00:21] MoTec, yeah twa0 is the raid unit, and the --device=3ware,[N] would be the port on the controller and the disk attached to the [N] port :) [00:21] syzothermy, and your running which version of Ubuntu? [00:22] oh, sorry [00:22] 8.10 [00:22] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer-utils/+bug/234185 [00:22] it's a Realtek RTL8180 [00:22] NoNick34234: is ur usb stick formatted in ntfs? [00:22] cappiz: makes sense :) [00:22] its formatted as fat32, the usb stick works fine. testes with other liveusb distros [00:22] syzothermy, can you try deleting completely the connection under 'Edit Connections' and do a fresh setup [00:23] syzothermy: there's a known bug with no solution that causes the RTL8187 drivers to break randomly. Maybe RTL8180 has the same problem. [00:23] NoNick34234: try mkdosfs /dev/sdX1 [00:23] NoNick34234: what if you tell it that the usbdrive is a cd? trick it? [00:23] hmm i think that link i sent actually has the fix [00:23] Thanks for the help MoTec :) [00:23] i had similar prob not same though and it worked NoNick34234 [00:23] rww: D= thanks [00:23] hey my number pad is moving my mouse around would anyone know why? [00:23] NoNick34234: nice [00:23] can't believe i missed it [00:23] anyone know how to boot an iso from grub? [00:23] con-man: ctrl-shift-numlock (or keyboard preferences somewhere) [00:24] jrib: thanks [00:24] asdfqwer: I have looked into that, it seems to be possible, but difficult to set up, how about using a virtual machine instead? [00:24] jrib: I use so many keyboard shortcuts sometimes I hit an obscure one by accident that switches a setting [00:24] sebsebseb, well, i found a method with knoppix [00:24] asdfqwer: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/booting-of-raw-iso-from-grublilo-though-preferably-grub-367901/ [00:24] I guess i'll try ubuntu in my desktop (that has a wireless card) and see what happens [00:24] What tool can i use to extract exe files [00:24] rww: any links so that I could follow it or something =) [00:25] DVA5912: extract exe files?????? [00:25] BCM43, sebsebseb i found this: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11796 [00:25] sebsebseb: yes, i need the cabs in some of them [00:25] syzothermy: The one for rtl8187 is https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/182473 . Like I said, I don't know if rtl8180 is also affected. [00:25] Public key 3b:54:e4:blah blacklisted (see ssh-vulnkey(1)); refusing to send it ... why am i getting this error & how to fix? [00:26] it might be, thanks [00:26] arooni-mobile: see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/en/man1/ssh-vulnkey.1.html (or man ssh-vulnkey) [00:26] BCM43, sebsebseb i dunno if knoppix uses different boot options or what [00:26] it does [00:26] How do I stop this error when I try to mount my external? ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sdb1': No such file or directory [00:26] i need the file /usr/bin/gnome-wm [00:26] BCM43, sebsebseb fromhd and bootfrom look arcane though :O [00:27] from intrepid [00:27] DVA5912: cabextract? [00:27] Only difference is that network-manager catches that it has no connection [00:27] arooni-mobile: Basically, you're trying to use an ssh key that was (probably) generated using a defective version of openssh from Debian, and you should generate a new ssh key. [00:27] hey again all [00:27] would someone send me the file /usr/bin/gnome-wm from intrepid [00:27] strebor: the cabs are in the exe [00:28] Royall: run 'sudo fdisk -l' to check whether it's the right device [00:28] x2o, sure [00:28] DVA5912: from what i remember cabextract works with exe as well, i'm not sure though [00:28] hello, my sound occasionally kicks out without warning (other than an awkward silance ;)) is there any good way to restart alsa or something like that? [00:29] prince_jammys: what am I looking for [00:29] DVA5912: cabextract is a program that un-archives files in the Microsoft cabinet file [00:29] format (.cab) or any binary file which contains an embedded cabinet file (fre‐ [00:29] quently found in .exe files). [00:29] from the manpage [00:29] strebor: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:29] quit [00:29] oh [00:29] Royall: the /dev/blah of your ntfs partition [00:30] fearful paste it on nopaste [00:30] sdb1 isn't there at all === nickklau is now known as marcules [00:30] is there no way to restart sound without restarting the system on ubuntu? [00:30] what must one install for .avi and .mp3 support? [00:31] mrpockets: should be able to just open those in a program, and get the codec [00:31] Royall: how were you trying to mount the partition? [00:31] mrpockets, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:31] prince_jammys: sudo mount /media/[re]drive [00:31] mrpockets: or do that, but then you will get stuff installed that you might not want [00:31] I've also tried sudo mount /dev/sdb1 [00:31] and sudo mount -a because it should be in my fstab [00:32] Royall: is it listed correctly in /etc/fstab? [00:32] mrpockets, its the fastest easiest way to get a lot of stuff you may want [00:32] How well would Parted handle resizing an NTFS partition from 188 to 250GB? [00:32] prince_jammys: I think so [00:32] Pro Comp Series 97 15x8, -19mm offset, 3.75" BS, 5x5" pattern. [00:32] anyone how execute file c :( [00:32] sorry, wrong window [00:32] /dev/sdb1 /media/[re]drive ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 [00:32] that's the entry [00:32] strebor: /home/clint/Desktop/MicroQuad.EXE: no valid cabinets found [00:32] Royall: check, and if it isn't, replace the /dev/foo with whatever device you saw from the output of fdisk [00:33] strebor: it does it with the others too [00:33] i can't execute c program [00:33] warzt666, did you compile it? what is the file name [00:33] samp [00:34] i saved it like samp.c [00:34] warzt666: be more specific... [00:34] Royall: you may also do 'sudo blkid' and use UUID=blahblahablah instead of /dev/.. [00:34] warzt666, you need to compile it dude, go look up a tutorial on it, u need to use gcc [00:34] sudo mount UUID="2AC0-C9B6" TYPE="vfat"? [00:34] warzt666, go to a c channel, you need to learn the basics of programming in C [00:35] without the TYPE [00:35] Error: /home/clint/Desktop/MicroQuad.EXE is not supported archive [00:35] Royall: no. change the device in /etc/fstab. it's wrong [00:35] ok, thánh [00:35] DVA5912: sorry, i'm not sure what else you could try [00:35] Royall: 'sudo fdisk -l' should display the device name for your ntfs partition. replace /dev/sdb1 with that device name [00:35] Hi. For some reason after this last update, no sound comes out of my computer: only a crackle. [00:36] But when I open sound preferences and test the sound using OSS, I get the test beep. [00:36] null_head, double click the sound icon and put the PCM all the way up [00:36] It is. [00:37] null_head, what sound device? === iTroll is now known as Guest31324 [00:38] OSS. === michael is now known as OptimusPrime [00:38] null_head, type alsamixer in the terminal [00:39] It's all the way up. [00:39] can anyone explain to me what the /etc/init.d folder holds and why it's named that way ? [00:39] Iceman_B^Ltop: it holds initilization scripts [00:39] Iceman_B^Ltop: they are init script. the 'd' means directory [00:40] null_head, do you have HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer) on the sound devices or something like that [00:40] the .d is mostly an artifact from ancient times :) [00:40] Yes. [00:40] #C [00:40] But OSS is the only one that gets a beep when I test it in sound preferences. [00:40] null_head, click that [00:41] f_newton, hi you still around? thanks. [00:41] how do i view the OS i ran with vmware server? [00:41] yes I am [00:41] Has anyone else noticed REALLY slow network speed when using the wl0 driver? [00:41] fearful, Sorry click what? [00:41] whats up thesaint4444 ? [00:41] null_head, HDA Intel (Alsa) [00:41] f_newton, I defragmented the partition but I still can't use shrink... any ideas why? thanks. [00:41] why am i being prompted for a new password for the mysql root user? [00:42] yes you dont have enough free space [00:42] Okay. [00:42] null_head, are the volumes all up? [00:42] badfish69: Because mysql uses a different user system. [00:42] Yup. [00:42] null_head, ok one more thing type alsamixer -Dhw [00:43] null_head, check if those are all up [00:43] f_newton, I must be misunderstanding something, there are over 40gigs unused on that partition... [00:43] how do i view the OS i ran with vmware server? [00:43] guys i need help , installed ubuntu on laptop but can not enable sounds... [00:43] Hey, ok im having an issue with my wireless [00:43] well that doesnt sound right thesaint4444 [00:44] Yup. Still nothing. [00:44] do you have restore point set up? that could be saving an image but that wouldnt be but around 3gig max [00:44] I am using a atheros ar242x wireless [00:44] Oh, wait. Sound! :D [00:44] Thanks. [00:44] However I finally got it install but its really slow or just ends up dying [00:44] in the logs i see: [00:44] null_head, :p your welcome [00:44] f_newton, thats what I thought but the partition in question has 30gigs free... [00:44] ath5k ph0: unsupported jumbo [00:44] zerko-lap: there's a lot on google about that device, you using 32bit? [00:44] ath5k ph0: unsupported jumbo? [00:44] f_newton, sorry I don't use windows much. [00:44] you should be able to resize it... if you cant you will have to do what I told you before [00:45] IndyGunFreak hey i was under pingdom earlier, you actually gave me the link to install the drivers over at ubuntugeek [00:45] f_newton, what is the best way to resize - via shrink? [00:45] i followed that but now the connection is crappy [00:45] can anybody help me settings up audio? [00:45] how do I rename a folder in Terminal? [00:45] zerko-lap: dunno, it works fine for me... [00:45] I need to force a really, really old (around 2003 - for gimp 1.2 ) package to install. How do I do that? [00:45] Royall: mv folder_name new_folder_name [00:45] hmmm [00:45] thesaint4444, what I do is open up the admin tools storage snap in and click on resize [00:45] im in an apartment with a bunch of other wireless connections [00:46] f_newton, I can use your described method but I am trying to save some time... [00:46] could that be the issue [00:46] then I shrink it down as far as I want [00:46] f_newton, ok, will give that a go... [00:46] how much time have you saved so far thesaint4444 ? [00:46] hey again all, keep droping [00:46] thanks [00:46] f_newton, lol.... [00:46] yeah... [00:46] how to run the file browser with admin rights [00:47] f_newton, yeah that made me laugh...

[00:48] yes i can see a list of networks [00:48] nephis: if it has a gui, then use gksudo, or else you could be in trouble [00:48] magaio, There are actually several [00:48] the connection is VERY slow and unstable [00:48] !gksudo [00:48] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately.

[00:49] that would be much easier [00:49] zero-lap does your pc detect your own network? [00:49] zelrikriando: just the way it works [00:49] sorry.. [00:49] I should post that in the brainstorm [00:49] v [00:49] zelrikriando, how was your file protected? [00:49] nikko i answered you [00:49] squirt33, why in trouble if using sudo not gksu (I use gksu when GUI but just wondering) [00:50] do you have wireless capable laptop or usb adapter on desktop?

[00:51] fearful: no problem [00:51] zelrikriando, hmm it's probably not 'protected' then and nautilus will just do what you say [00:51] is the connection intermitent or just slow? [00:51] I need some help with setting up a grub menu. [00:52] it dies [00:52] sometimes [00:52] slow most of the time [00:52] could be router issue.

[00:52] look around there it should be there ...I am not in windows at the moment [00:53] zerko-lap: do you have another OS, where it works? then you know it is not a hardwear problem [00:53] squirt33, build it from source [00:53] or the router could be too far from the laptop.

[00:55] squirt33, you really don't want to force install a binary package that old. for two reasons, it's probably binary incompatible (as it was built with an older toolset and libraries) and you could upset quite a few packages and land yourself with a very inconsistent package database. [00:56] If you move a parition in gparted, will it move the data with it? [00:56] f_newton, ok, thanks. Should there be a 'resize' option - I can't seem to find it... - 'shrink' is the only similar thing. [00:56] unop: ugh. Back to old sourceforge repos then. [00:56] unop: Thank you.

The name of the package I created is named mplayer_1.0rc2-1_amd64.deb [01:04] jrib, just out of curiosity, should that link have been to the binary drivers how to (in general) or to the nvidia one (specific)? [01:04] !pinning | Guest44215 [01:04] Guest44215: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [01:04] bod: well the binarydrivers link should link to nvidia [01:05] jrib, yes it does, but as the factoid was !nvidia i just wondered why it was not a direct link, nvm :) [01:06] bod: ah, probably just to keep factoid maintenance down :) [01:06] jrib, ok, I do have another problem though, that link does not seem to explain how to install from apt, just the hardware drivers ap way (which does not work for me) [01:08] xubuntu>ununtu... [01:08] nah idk what im saying haha === romb is now known as glyserin [01:08] mezz, heh [01:08] i am soo blind [01:08] seriously, im like 2 feet away from the screen and i cant see shit [01:09] wtf is up with that? [01:09] bod, which version of the drivers? [01:09] WelshDragon, 177 [01:10] There's a 177? [01:10] !wtf | mezz [01:10] mezz: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. === sheep is now known as Starnestommy [01:10] WelshDragon, indeed [01:10] Is it a bug that a terminal can block a cdrom from ejecting, just because its in the directory? I know nautilus doesn't, but I'm still unsure. Any opinions? [01:10] bod: it should mention the name of the packages for nvidia (apt-cache search -n nvidia-glx) [01:10] bod, well the package name should be nvidia-glx-177 You can install through apt [01:10] jrib, i have that package, and the nvidia-177-modaliases [01:11] WelshDragon, hmm, i have the package [01:11] bod, you may need to run sudo nvidia-xconfig afterwards. [01:11] bod: what package exactly? [01:11] also done that [01:11] jrib, nvidia-glx-177 [01:11] bod, are you sure you're not using the drivers then? :s [01:11] bod: did you enable the nvidia driver in your xorg.conf? [01:11] ah, good point [01:12] Lol, a guy here wants to k-line me just for not being american and white [01:12] Talk about racism... [01:13] WelshDragon, jrib -- driver "nvidia" [01:14] bod: so it's fine then? [01:14] Hello I have 2 broken packages and because of I cannot install or do anything else in synaptic Here are all the threads I've looked at to fix it and failed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=252762&page=4 ; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=253912&highlight=synaptic+broken ; http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=947124 Here is a pastebin of all the commands I tried to fix it http://paste.ubuntu.com/121631/ [01:14] and grep info on the broken packages http://paste.ubuntu.com/121632/ Please help I've tried virtually everything else. This is my last hope. [01:14] wow, I'm sorry thats so huge. [01:14] jrib, that means im using the driver? hmm, wonder why im stuck in 800x600 then [01:14] Loganhoup: in synaptic choose fix broken. [01:15] bod, try running nvidia-settings [01:15] I tried [01:15] Loganhoup, have you tried restarting in recovery mode, and do the fix broken packages [01:15] it didnt work [01:15] No [01:15] Loganhoup, not even when booting in recovery mode? [01:15] WelshDragon, just tried that, says im NOT using the nvidia driver === richard is now known as Guest71190 [01:15] I havent tried recovery mode yet [01:15] Loganhoup, try it just to be sure [01:15] I will return shortly [01:15] thank you [01:15] bod, Have you restarted X since installing them? [01:16] WelshDragon, yeah, i rebooted [01:16] Any chit-chat on when Ubuntu will include the xf86-video-intel 2.6.0 in X.org? It supports HDMI Audio :) [01:16] hey when i open a file from my hdd it works fine but if i try to copy the file to a flashdrive it becomes corrupt and is filled with radnom symbols. any ideas? [01:16] bod, checked your xorg log for any possible errors loading the driver? [01:17] guest xfree86 and xorg are two competing protocols [01:17] X.org project is from Xfree86 f_newton [01:17] whatever [01:17] WelshDragon, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep nvidia returns nothing [01:18] X.org is just the newer version of the X protocol, while XFree86 is the older one. they don't compete. [01:18] anypone here know how to move app launchers in a panel from gnome into a kde panel? [01:18] bod: pastebin the log [01:18] Exactly what i was gonna say, but in totally different words. [01:18] unop: Ok, I tracked some source down. Somehow, I have managed to maintain a linux install for, like 4 years and not compiled much of anything. What do I do first? [01:18] yowshi, I'm not sure you can do that because kde and gnome work differently [01:19] grrr between my missing app launchers and firefox...i like how kde looks now i just dont knwo if i can use it [01:19] yowshi: what is wrong with firefox? [01:20] jrib, WelshDragon -- found some nvidia related stuff in there http://paste.ubuntu.com/121636/ -- and heres the whole log http://paste.ubuntu.com/121637/ [01:20] the addons wont adctivate [01:20] BCM43: [01:20] exit [01:20] yowshi, I'm sure there is way to get the launchers that you want on kde, I don't personally use kde but I'm sure there is. [01:20] Ok so ive installed Active sync 4.5 on ubuntu but i cant get it to see the dell axim x5.... anyone else have this problem or know what i need to try or possibly fix? [01:20] anyway the latest intel video driver is included in the 2.6.27.X kernels [01:20] fearful: i hope other then creating them again because some of them run commands which i cant remember. which is why i made them into app launchers in the first place [01:20] yowshi: head over to the kubuntu channel, I think that maybe it's called #kubuntu or #kubuntu-help or something. [01:21] according to intel [01:21] squirt33, well, most tarballs have a README or INSTALL file that has instructions to build the package - i'm pretty sure this one has one. the usual steps are ./configure; make; make install # but you have to satisfy build dependencies first - the README should tell you what they are. [01:21] bod, can you pastebin your xorg.conf aswell? [01:21] yowshi, google is a friend you know ;) [01:21] unop: ok [01:21] f_newton: you mis-understood. first of all, the person who asked is not here anymore. second, he was talking about the X driver, not a kernel driver. [01:21] fearful: yeah but with stuff like this what do i google? gnome to kde switch over? thatwill probably get me 10 thousand reviews of gnome or kde and why to switch [01:22] WelshDragon, here ya go -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/121639/ [01:22] yowshi, well it depends on what you want [01:22] yowshi, and if you have gnome and kde on the same machine then it shouldn't matter the commands will work [01:23] yowshi: what do you mean the won't activate? [01:23] well the latest intel driver for xorg.. what is it 7.3? is included by intel in to xorg and is there for the kernels mentioned. this information is freely available on the intel site [01:23] hey all [01:23] hi [01:23] bod, When you say you rebooted after installing the drivers. Was that before or after running nvidia-xconfig? The xorg log appears to be loading vesa, when the conf file specifies the nvidia driver. :s [01:23] fearful: yeah but i cant remember the commands i didnt write thme down i put them in an app launcher on the gnome panel [01:23] So I just installed 8.10 on a machine with an ATI HD3650... [01:23] And it has two monitos hooked up to it [01:23] but I can't get it to use them both in one desktop [01:23] lol fahrenheit 451 [01:23] !enter | Montag1 [01:23] Montag1: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:24] Loganhoup: did you fix it? [01:24] yowshi, well thats my point you can just search for 'firefox terminal lanuch kubuntu 8.10' or sometihng like that [01:24] supposedly it is included in ubuntu, suse, mandriva, fedora, puplinux, etc etc [01:24] hold on [01:24] the screen resolution control can't detect both monitors [01:24] BCM43: i mean firefox has them listed as installed but they arewnt running. no reloav every no quick save movies no nothing [01:24] ubott: sorry? [01:24] f_newton: please, check your facts before making errounus statements: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2009-January/042537.html [01:24] WelshDragon, i ran xconfig then rebooted, shall i redo it? [01:24] :) [01:24] can someone help me? i'm not getting any sound from audacity. everything seems to be working find and i should be able to hear something, but there's nothing coming out.

[01:25] how do you use gcc to compile a program for windows? [01:25] yowshi: can't you make the launchers again? [01:25] keres: you don't [01:25] bod, i'd try redoing it yes. At the moment the xorg log and the conf make no sense together :s [01:25] keres: on linux?

[01:33] Loganhoup: I would just keep removing packages that apt-get upgrade complains about till you can run it. Make sure your system is uptodate. Then, try reinstalling whatever it is you are developing [01:33] the logo? [01:33] well, I don't know what to say to that :) [01:33] BCM43, which ones? [01:33] BCM43, i had to compile with -lm, if it gives errors about square roots [01:33] Loganhoup: or, wait, you could remove komposer!! [01:33] flash doesnt make any sound..... help please?

[01:38] as root off course [01:38] do I need to run that from a particular directory [01:39] n8tuserf, is that the argument i add to the kernel line on boot? [01:39] it used to be linux 1 [01:39] f_newton -> telinit 1 is telling it to go to single user while in multi-user mode [01:40] ahh ok usually the only time I need single user is when it wont boot in the gui' [01:40] bobthefish: what version of ubuntu are you running? [01:40] Danbhfive 8.10 [01:40] how can i find out what the permission of a directory is set to [01:40] whst is single user mode? [01:40] danbhfive: i followed a tutorial on the forums on fixing pulse [01:40] its the one thing that prevents true security abc2xyz [01:41] besides machine code that is [01:41] orudie: right click on it -> properties. Or « ls -ld » in a shell [01:41] orudie: right click directory :P [01:41] sound is back, but just not for wine, PlayOnLinux, or flash [01:41] bobthefish: yeah, I really don't know. you could try gstreamer-properties and see if your sound is working [01:41] f_newton -> at boot time, its single that you add [01:41] sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko [01:41] is not working [01:41] n8tuserf, thank you what source is there that will give me this basic ubuntu info?

[01:42] jrib, i need to know what number it is, like what the chmod is set to [01:42] well thanks for your help n8tuserf ... abc2xyz what it means is if the intruder is at your keyboard and knows linux he can create his own root account [01:42] optimusprime: the folks over at #compiz-fusion might be better equipped to deal with eye candy stuff. [01:42] thanks [01:43] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` works just fine. but then "sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko" yields the following error: "insmod: can't read '/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko': No such file or directory" [01:43] orudie: ls -ld gives you that information.

[01:43] keres: did you get my pm? [01:44] Hi, I have a problem connecting to the internet. I am suspecting right now it's due to the fact that somehow both my wireless and wired interfaces are not configure to use IPv4 (only IPv6 is listed). The odd thing is that I have no problem connecting to the internet with my laptop while I am at home (with both wired and wireless) but I just can't get an ip address despite my wireless card detecting the access point. Any help :D ? [01:44] abc2xyz, I keep puplinux on a thumbdrive so I can use any computer w/ usb booting capabilities [01:44] oh, dammit [01:44] the proprietary driver was already being used [01:45] whoever sent me a link to how to install tghem I guess didn't know that [01:45] lol Montag1 [01:45] pr was intentionally wasting my time. :) [01:45] but I still can't detect my displays [01:45] no one intentionally wastes your time monstah [01:45] f_newton: sorry if its a stupid ques, wht does puplinux do? [01:45] sorry monstah [01:45] I meant Montag1 [01:46] puplinux is a very small linux distro you can load on a thumbdrive w/persistent data [01:46] So any thoughts on getting this thing to use both monitors in a useful fashion? [01:46] u can do the saame with bootable usb stick right? f_newton [01:46] its helpful if you are unable to get to your own machine and it doesnt interfere with the one you are using [01:46] I hate the thought of reinstalling the OS That Shall NOt Be Named === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [01:46] which permission would www directory have ? [01:47] thats what a thumbdrive is iirc abc2xyz [01:47] f_newton hey i have a problem creating a usb boot drive [01:47] which OS Montag1 ? [01:47] it starts but doesn't make any progress [01:47] cooldduuudde, the only experience I have is with puplinux... whats the problem [01:47] xiaopi: not wanting to go back to Vista. Just installed Intrepid [01:48] f_newton it starts but doesn't make any progress [01:48] it begins but doesnt find the boot files? [01:48] and can't get both monitors to do anything other than mirror each other through my ATI card [01:48] i mean seven beta just blows intrepid... i hope jaunty will have something to offer [01:48] want both as part of one desktop [01:48] cooldduuudde, if this is ubuntu there is a well documented way to do it [01:48] cooldduuudde: i had the same prob yesterday [01:49] cooldduuudde: my usb was formatted in ntfs thats why it wasnt working [01:49] f_newton yeah i have ubuntu 8.10 [01:49] Not gonna run a beta, sorry. [01:49] And am hoping to leave MS forever. [01:49] abc2xyz but pen drives are fat [01:49] when I am in the midst of other people's workstations I use puplinux cuz its lite, fast, and does all I need to do... give me web access and email [01:49] So I really just want to get this working under intrepid. I didn't come to an ubuntu channel to have someone try to talk me into Windows [01:49] I use ubuntu, mandriva, and fedora on my deskktops [01:50] damn [01:50] this m1530 giving me kernel panic again. [01:50] f_newton: so that means when u use the web, nothing is left behind on that pc right? never thought about it before :D [01:50] Montag1, there are supposedly settings in your screen resolution gui [01:51] tyup, and they don't work [01:51] yes abc2xyz thats the whole point [01:51] detect monitors yields on "unknown" on both [01:51] it starts up under 20 seconds [01:51] and it just treats both as the same monitor [01:51] Montag1, is there not an advance tab there [01:51] ? [01:51] nope [01:52] hey all [01:52] hi [01:52] hi [01:52] Montag1, I am ignorant of your answer but have you tried to google dual monitors in ubuntu ? [01:52] how come I can't change any settings for my networking? I don't have anything under system->administration-> (lots of posts refer to Network, but the only thing I have is 'Network tools', and if I select that there's no way to change any settings) [01:52] fnewton: been sifting through the results since I joined here, yeah [01:52] lots of REALLY old information [01:52] Montag1, sorry I use single monitors [01:52] not sure I want to go through those hoop jumps for solutions written for 6.06 [01:53] snowy: run gksu network-admin [01:53] Montag1, let me see what I can find [01:53] thanks.

[01:57] no, I understand. I'm just frustrated. Every time I think linux is ready for prime time, something really basic like this slips by and freaks me out [01:57] orudie: well what are they... [01:57] 'cos right now I can't connect to the net. and network tools says my wireless card is only working with ipv6 [01:57] Montag1: what exactly is the problem?

[02:13] Montag1: try another OS what did that mean? [02:14] sebsebseb: it was partially tongue in cheek. I need both of my monitors to work. if I can't get them to under ubuntu (I just installed), I'll use something else. [02:14] Montag1, the only other distro I know of that is a plug n play as ubuntu is mandriva .... possibly suse.... fedora is more bleeding edge but less stable [02:14] Montag1: well alright as long as it's not Windows :) [02:14] sebsebseb: well, it mgiht have to be, since linux seems not to want to solve this problem [02:14] Montag1: maybe PC BSD can do it, that's meant to be pretty user friendly, not tried it yet though [02:15] BTW, the ubuntuguide contains a way to do this...for nvidia cards. === yofel_ is now known as yofel [02:15] Montag1, you will have to get used to the nvidia bias that permeates all linux [02:15] ppl my su is asking for a password that isn't like my sudo password [02:15] where does gnome store it's panel data? [02:16] f_newton: or just not use it. :) [02:16] thats silly Montag1 [02:16] how i know my su password? i've just installed a ubuntu right from the box [02:16] linux has too many advantages [02:16] hi, [02:16] Can anyone help me resolve my wireless issue?

One is a 500GB with vista on it and the other is a 250GB with Mac OSX on it. They both come up in "computer" as SCSI Drives...When i click them it says unabled to mount...How can i have access to them so i can put them on my external USB drive? (500=NTFS | 250=mac journaled) [02:16] WarriorSlayer: root [02:16] anyway i can turn off firewall via firestarter on command line? [02:16] <_VIM_> !sudo | WarriorSlayer [02:16] test [02:16] WarriorSlayer: 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) [02:16] WarriorSlayer: su asks for the root password. Ubuntu's root account is disabled by default. Everything you can do with su you can do (more securely) with sudo. [02:16] pass :) [02:16] f_newton1: I understand that, but I am not made of money. I can't just go buy all new video cards because of a bias. [02:17] WarriorSlayer, you can get to the root path by sudo -i [02:17] rww: so no su for me? [02:17] i'm trying su just because i'm about to run a bunch of commands that need superuser [02:17] WarriorSlayer: unless u activate it urself, no [02:17] acfrazier: I have seen that issue and depending on you laptop- you may be able to go into the bios and change the settings from -- function/os on and off to just ON [02:17] WarriorSlayer: use "sudo -i" instead. [02:18] tiem for another logout-login attempt [02:18] Montag1: a bit crappy really, but if this dual monitor thing is so important, and no luck with other distros or other Unin's such as PC BSD. you could do Linux in a vm inside Windows. yes use Windows for the host, but only for monitor thing. I know not an amazing idea really [02:18] WarriorSlayer, try sudo -i [02:18] oh he has left nevermind then [02:18] acfrazier: the bad news is that the wireless even when asleep will stay on. and may come out of it on its own due to network traffic [02:18] So I'm trying to backup some of my files...I have two hard drives. One is a 500GB with vista on it and the other is a 250GB with Mac OSX on it. They both come up in "computer" as SCSI Drives...When i click them it says unabled to mount...How can i have access to them so i can put them on my external USB drive? (500=NTFS | 250=mac journaled) [02:18] I guess let people like that use Windows LOL [02:18] btw, on the live CD [02:19] Hello, all! I'm a brand new/potential ubuntu user, trying to get a Live CD working on my formerly XP laptop. Does anyone have the time to help me out? [02:19] orudie: yes [02:19] sebsebseb, you are carrying it too far... and "people like that"... what kind of statement is that ... lol [02:19] CritterKeeper: in a bit I do [02:20] apparently no one can help me [02:20] f_newton: heh indeed [02:20] redvamp128: Even with hardware wireless switch off it tends to stay pn [02:20] jrib, ok i did it, still not sure what to point in the web browser [02:20] ""E: Could not open file /cdrom/dists/intrepid/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages - open (2 No such file or directory) [02:20] E: Unable to determine the file size - fstat (9 Bad file descriptor) << What is the significance of this when running an apt-cdrom add in Ubunt 8.04 with an 8.10 CD? [02:20] heh Im jewish and even jews dont like me... [02:20] i want to setup a ftp server on my ubuntu 8.04 machine..... so, how can configured that 1 [02:20] jrib, any path i'm trying shows an empty page [02:20] CritterKeeper: oh ok download the ISO [02:21] CritterKeeper: MD5 sum check it ideally before burning as well [02:21] !md5sum [02:21] To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [02:21] Okay, I did that. Burned it to the CD, and it will start up okay [02:21] CritterKeeper: oh you want help installing and such? [02:21] But then when it starts up, it freezes when I try to launch it [02:21] Tze: testing back? [02:21] lol mib2 is still funny in parts [02:21] I want to try it out on the Live CD before installing [02:21] CritterKeeper: how much RAM? [02:21] i want to setup a ftp server on my ubuntu 8.04 machine..... so, how can configured that 1 [02:21] acfrazier: depends on the bios in the laptop-- I saw a machine that whenver it went to sleep using hardy. The wireless would not come back on-- So I went into his bios and it had these options- Function(OS)/ on and off - Off and just ON -- as soon as I switched it to ON-- that fixed his issue [02:22] illumin8: hi works fine === iron_man_ftw is now known as away_man_ftl [02:22] supertanker: are you trying to use a LiveCD (i.e. not an Alternate CD) to upgrade Ubuntu? [02:22] i want to setup a ftp server on my ubuntu 8.04 machine..... so, how can configured that 1 [02:22] redvamp128, Ive also had that issue but with fedora [02:22] rww, yes. [02:22] Hmm, y'know, I know how much RAM this laptop has, 'cos I upgraded it, but I don't know how much that one has....lemme go back to XP and check [02:23] I can't seem to list files in ftp without all extra info. For example I did "ls . list.txt" and I get entries like this: "drwxrwxrwx 2 1001 1001 4096 Feb 21 03:57 Temp", when I only want "Temp". I've looked through man files but can't really find anything. [02:23] Here's a funny one. I'm on Kubuntu 8.04 with an ATI graphics card. Used to be that I couldn't suspend or hibernate, but something in the recent updates just fixed that for me with no effort on my part. Now, I can't log out! If I change my video drive to vesa instead of fglrx, I can log out, but if I leave it as is, the whole laptop crashes when I select Log Out from the menu. Advice welcome! [02:23] supertanker: The documentation says that you need to use an Alternate CD ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades#Upgrading%20Using%20the%20Alternate%20CD/DVD ), presumably because the LiveCD doesn't have a full APT repository on it (hence apt-cdrom complaining that it can't find one) [02:23] CritterKeeper: if it's got more than 128MB you should be ok, but if not you got to do something [02:23] hello anyone here............. [02:23] CritterKeeper: or the CD won't even load up properly [02:23] rww, damn. I can't download the alternate CD [02:23] No, I'm sure it has at least that, it's not *that* old a laptop [02:23] I had to go to a hotel and get the 8.10 one. >_> [02:23] Hello. [02:23] :) [02:23] CritterKeeper: crashes every time you try to boot it up? [02:24] i want to setup a ftp server on my ubuntu 8.04 machine..... so, how can configured that 1 [02:24] So I'm trying to backup some of my files...I have two hard drives. One is a 500GB with vista on it and the other is a 250GB with Mac OSX on it. They both come up in "computer" as SCSI Drives...When i click them it says unabled to mount...How can i have access to them so i can put them on my external USB drive? (500=NTFS | 250=mac journaled) [02:24] The initial window with the ubuntu logo....then the menu starting with "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer" [02:24] hello anyone here............. [02:24] CritterKeeper: yes and then crash? [02:24] i want to setup a ftp server on my ubuntu 8.04 machine..... so, how can configured that 1 [02:24] When I hit enter, it freezes up and won't do anything else [02:24] !ftp [02:24] FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd [02:24] redvamp128: I have Internal WLAN power state, in bios it is set tp restore [02:24] CritterKeeper: try burning another cd [02:24] If I go to the help menu instead, it's fine. [02:25] CritterKeeper: yes you may have a bad CD [02:25] CritterKeeper, that sounds like no memory left [02:25] cybercom: apparently not, no one is answering my questions and i _know_ for a fact someone knows the answer [02:25] CritterKeeper: or the ISO went wrong on download [02:25] I installed ubuntu 8.04.2 - alternate - i386 on a 32-bit AMD chip with an external screen. [02:25] Ah well. Thanks, rww. I'll figure something out. [02:25] CritterKeeper: do an MD5sum check of your ISO, before burning a new CD. make sure the codes match [02:25] !md5sum [02:25] To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [02:25] All this just to get the GIMP updated... [02:25] supertanker: hmm. wait, maybe you can use a LiveCD. Do you have the right LiveCD for your architecture (i.e., a 64bit CD if you're using 64bit Ubuntu)? [02:25] acfrazier: Could be releated to the Vista/Win7 issue-- the fix for that one is to disable the -- allow machine to powersave device (unsure how to do that on ubuntu) [02:25] rww, yes. [02:25] It installs, loads, shows the splash screen etc. but once it loads the external screen pops off. [02:25] any ideas? [02:25] Okay, I'll try re-downloading and burning. If that doesn't work, I'll be back [02:25] Thanks for the help! [02:25] rww, another funny thing, it says I have the latest GIMP, but I know that 2.4.x isn't the latest. Is this because I'm using an older version of Ubuntu? (8.04) [02:26] CritterKeeper: One thing to note-- when buring images -- Burn them no greater that 12x [02:26] Hi, I was wondering what the recommended way to install 32 bit Firefox (and plugins) on 64-bit Intrepid Ibex would be? I found various conflicting instructions (mostly relating to older versions) online ... [02:26] Okay, will do [02:26] polorix: no one that is here right now is being paid to give support, so yes someone out there will know your answer, but you got to wait for them or find them, on say ubuntu forum [02:26] hey, is there any key-combination in ubuntu to make it send to an external monitor? [02:26] hi, does anybody here play bomberclone? [02:26] plsd: try 'nlist' instead [02:26] supertanker: 2.4.5 is the latest version of GIMP in the Ubuntu Hardy repositories. [02:27] rww, so no way to get the 2.6? [02:27] prince_jammys, works like a charm, thanks! [02:27] wolter_: oh you again :D probably a bomberclone that runs in wine or something similar that is native [02:27] supertanker: not easily, no. hardy-backports only has 2.4.6. Intrepid has 2.6, but I guess you're having problems upgrading to that ;) [02:27] sebsebseb, hey, do you want to play bomberclone? [02:27] rww, yeah. :/ [02:27] plsd: cool [02:27] wolter_: I don't have installed [02:28] can anyone tell me how does upgrading kernel make a difference? [02:28] rww, I suppose I'll just start downloading an alternate CD 4KB/s at a time. [02:28] sebsebseb, sudo apt-get install bomberclone [02:28] can anyone tell me how to switch to an external monitor? [02:28] cooldduuudde: security updates and things like that [02:28] It'll probably take about as long as snail-mailing a new CD [02:28] where does gnome store it's panel data? [02:28] updating cooldduuudde ? [02:28] hey is tat normal ubuntu server seem to limit to 1024 connect to a single application? [02:28] wolter_: a bit later maybe yeah, and this is not suppourt :d [02:28] f_newton it will be automatically done wen i upgrade to 9.04 [02:28] supertanker: ouch. Yeah, I'm looking around and it seems that for some obscure reason, you have to use the Alternate CD. Kind of a pain, I know >.> [02:28] update and upgrade are two different things... one prevents disaster the other creates it [02:29] rww, I'm going to get offline in a minute, but thanks for helping. [02:29] how to compile kernel [02:29] I just wish there was an easier way to upgrade just the Gimp [02:29] read abc2xyz read [02:29] supertanker: you're welcome. Sorry I couldn't find a better solution. [02:29] f_newton: read what? [02:29] abc2xyz:giyf [02:29] !kernel | abc2xyz [02:29] abc2xyz: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [02:30] what ubottu said abc2xyz [02:30] thanks [02:31] Is there a way to see what is included in Xubuntu, because I am having a hard time choosing between Debian Xfce and Xubuntu [02:32] go with xubuntu [02:32] anyone know if there are speed limitations on SAMBA? [02:32] Hello. With one command, how would I run an application that needs to be run from another directory? [02:32] Iradieh: www.xubuntu.org [02:32] redvamp128: Doesnt say whats included [02:32] Iradieh: tasksel list xubuntu-desktop ? [02:32] redvamp128: Do you have some of a list [02:32] the ubuntu box im copying files to from this XP machine is really slow :/ [02:32] Achoth: sudo application name [02:32] danbhfive: I dont got Xubuntu yet danbhfive [02:32] a 350 MB file should be there in notime over 100Mbit I'd tink [02:32] Iradieh: that will work if you have ubuntu [02:33] xubuntu can have anything that ubuntu can [02:33] danbhfive: exactly [02:33] danbhfive: I dont want to install yet [02:33] Iradieh, did you look at distrowatch.org? They have info on lots of distros. Then you can come back and install Xubuntu. :) [02:33] RussM: lol [02:33] I was asking [02:33] hey is tat normal ubuntu server seem to limit to 1024 connect to a single application???? [02:33] Iradieh: I assume you want this kind of info - Xubuntu Desktop Guide [02:33] abc2xyz: But it's a script located in a folder, it needs to be executed from that folder as well. I want to add the script to autostart. [02:33] HOW DO I SEE what Xubuntu got installed per default as in applications and what not [02:33] redvamp128: no [02:33] I take it Xubuntu is pretty bloated, which is why I am picking between Xubuntu and Debian FTP-install [02:34] does ubuntu make food/drinks? if so, where can i buy them [02:34] Iradieh, will tell you whats installed: dpkg --get-selections [02:34] Daft_Punk: r u serious? [02:34] Daft_Punk:ive seen ubuntu cola [02:34] abc2xyz, yeah like ubuntu soda or something [02:34] fearful: I dont got xubuntu installed yet jeez [02:34] So I'm trying to backup some of my files...I have two hard drives. One is a 500GB with vista on it and the other is a 250GB with Mac OSX on it. They both come up in "computer" as SCSI Drives...When i click them it says unabled to mount...How can i have access to them so i can put them on my external USB drive? (500=NTFS | 250=mac journaled) [02:34] Achoth: sorry no idea about autostart [02:34] Daft_Punk: Ubuntu (as in the one on-topic for this channel) doesn't make food or drinks. Some other companies make drinks named Ubuntu, but are not connected to us at all. [02:34] Iradieh, oh sorry I think in the LiveCD theres some information on that [02:34] Iradieh: I suspect that if care about the individual packages, you should just go with debian [02:34] rww, darn, ok [02:35] Daft_Punk: It's an operating system, not a brand. There is a cola called Ubuntu though (not related to Ubuntu Linux). [02:35] how to send ubuntu to an external monitor? [02:35] abc2xyz: Alright thanks anyways [02:35] anyone know how I how I can create an sha_password hash from the CLI? [02:35] Achoth, i was asking because there are ubuntu shirts/mugs/pens/thinking putty etc... [02:35] Iradieh, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xubuntu [02:36] Iradieh, under 'Applications' [02:36] ubuntu cola 'beverages for human beings!' [02:36] Daft_Punk: Ah yeah, Ubuntu.com probably [02:36] Daft_Punk: If it's on http://store.canonical.com/ , it's this Ubuntu. Otherwise, it's someone else who picked up the ubuntu-as-in-philosophy name and used it. [02:36] Still no dice [02:36] isn't "ubuntu" as a brand, copyrighted by canonical? [02:37] Loss of wireless in 5-7 min tops [02:37] any key-combinations to send ubuntu to an external monitor? [02:37] Copyrights are industry specific [02:37] acfrazier, what is your wireless problem? [02:37] prince_jammys, do you also know how to ignore certain filetype with nlist? Say I want to ignore all ending with .srt. "nlist -I *.srt . list.txt" gives me "usage: nlist remote-directory local-file" [02:37] Daft_Punk: "Ubuntu" is trademarked, yes. Trademarks are industry-specific. [02:38] plsd: i don't know. check in 'man ftp'. the commands are all listed there [02:38] when the system boots it errors half way and said fence_tool waiting for cmanto startrror 2it error 2trold how do i repair this when it boots the 3D and compiz do not work [02:38] Daft_Punk: After letting comp sit for a while, move mouse to wake up from blackscreen, wifi is dead, reboot is temp fix, then dies in5-7 min [02:39] plsd: ftp is pretty primitive. there may not be such a command [02:39] How can I create an sha password hash from the command line? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:39] mbrigdan: Depends on the type of sha. You'd use sha1sum, sha256sum, sha512sum, etc. [02:40] acfrazier, what wifi card do you have ? [02:40] acfrazier, sounds like a glitch with the wireless driver, since your wireless doesnt work in 8.04 it might be the driver was just recently made for 8.10 or included wtih 8.10 and might not be 100% [02:40] do you know a packages that is able to sleep the computer of notebook? it wasn't the gnome program. which is console command. [02:40] ah i know what it is [02:40] prince_jammys, yeah I checked man and didn't see anything there so you may be right about that. thanks though! [02:40] rww: ok, thanks, time to figure out what sha my app uses [02:40] what is it? [02:40] u need your wifi to be listed to start at boot [02:40] f_newton: Realtek [02:40] i had some people do mine last night [02:40] nono. [02:40] ah... the problem rears its ugly head acantha [02:41] sorry acantha I meant acfrazier [02:41] acfrazier: which type of realtek? === eric is now known as talntid [02:41] doesnt realtek have issues with linux usually?> ive had bad experiences with realtek cards not working right... [02:41] orudie: what does « lsb_release -a » return? [02:41] Daft_Punk: some of them do, some of them don't. [02:41] lately Daft_Punk that has been the case [02:41] mine did, but only because it was the new many acer [02:41] rww: Not sure, on my iPod as it's wifi doesn't die [02:42] jrib, you talking to me ? [02:42] acfrazier, thats an aircard [02:42] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCola [02:42] can i reload ubuntu 8.10 without losing all my data [02:42] I have an rtl8187 on my Asus P5K-E/WifiAP, and it dies all the time >.> [02:42] well with my wireless, since i upgraded to 8.10 it would cut out all the time, but i changed encryption from WPA/WPA2 to WEP and it works more stable now, but signal varies [02:42] orudie: yes [02:42] i have intel wireless a/b/g [02:42] rww: , that's funny -- i have same board, and it works flawlessly for me [02:42] jrib, command not found [02:43] orudie: so this isn't even ubuntu then?

When Ubuntu gets a kernel upgrade, will I have to reinstall the guest additions, or will they get applied to the new kernel automatically? [02:43] f_newton, mine worked great in hardy... since the upgrade it went poo [02:43] jrib, nope :( but i have a ubuntu server [02:43] jrib, i bought a vps with ubuntu 8.10 server [02:43] i have xtreme N adapter i could try, but last time i checked, no linux support and ndiswrap didnt help [02:43] lol I havent used ubuntu since it was first released but I actually like 8.10 [02:43] jrib, where things are a lot easier [02:43] rww: probably do it all auto, and I hope Ubuntu as a guest VM inside Windows is temporary to try it out. Windows as a guest is good, but a good OS inside Windows as a guest is like eww [02:44] ethernet has a bug try going back a kernal [02:44] orudie: you need to get help in the right room, I have no idea what your setup is [02:44] can i reload ubuntu 8.10 without losing all my data [02:44] rww: that sounded like a fan boy ha ha [02:44] talntid: apparently I'm not the only one with problems: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/182473 [02:44] not if its from the live cd [02:44] rww: I'll give a more proper reason why I think Windows as the host is not good [02:44] Daft_Punk: isnt that atheros?

[02:45] danbhfive, uh, idk [02:45] can anyone recommend a good free webhost that has php, mysql, perl, and ssl access [02:45] rww: which one is more likely to get virused and that yes Windows? and with a virtual machine you can just throw it away. or make a copy of a clean install. if you get virused [02:45] f_newton: daily reports.

[03:29] what does a pink filename signify when I ls a dir in putty ? [03:29] tsrk, Just means that a process hasn't retrieved the exit status of a child process. If you get a lot of them, then it could be a problem (child process ID can't be reused until the exit status is cleared from the process table) but it's not likely that big a deal otherwise.

[03:34] what else should i mean? [03:34] RussM, how can zombie processes disappear? Does the fact that it's gone mean that it was taken care of cleanly? [03:35] Dozzzie: I don't know. I found it odd that you were asking me if I have the "copy file" command (since most GNU/Linux computers do), so I was checking I understood you correctly. [03:36] lol cp [03:36] Dozzzie: do I? or do you mean something else? [03:36] not most, all [03:36] Either the parent read the status, or the parent itself exited.

[03:48] Millertime_018: if it is freezing then - going into normal desktop then changing the options and turning compiz back on. [03:49] joe-mac: you were telling me to use the CLI (I think) how do i use that to start the normal desktop without any applications. like a bare start [03:49] kindofabuzz, ok, i found it, but whereis gdm doesn't give it to me [03:50] redvamp128: that's what I want to do. but i don't know how. do you know what fusion-icon is? [03:50] Millertime_018: there's a couple ways, what you want to do most likely is hit ESC key on boot at the grub menu and then choose the rescue option [03:50] joe-mac: wait! [03:50] you will be given a root prompt with no password, at which point you type su - $YOURUSERNAME [03:51] waiting [03:51] joe-mac: i know what I'll do. [03:51] hit me with it. [03:51] joe-mac: ok, when i start up and grub comes up, hit esc and the command line will come up [03:51] i'll uninstall fusion-icon [03:51] I'm using Ubuntu with Fluxbox. How do I put my computer to sleep? Or hibernate? [03:52] Millertime_018: I use a similar - the compiz-switch instead of the fusion icon - plus I use the advanced desktop effects settings to change my compiz (though mostly I turn it off) [03:52] with "apt-get autoremove fusion-icon" is that command correct? [03:52] after it completes, how will i just tell it to boot? [03:53] how to cancel the autologin in gdm from a terminal ? [03:53] ctrl-d to exit your shell, init 5 as root [03:53] joe-mac: how will i tell it to boot into the regular screen using the CLI [03:53] will get you to a gui [03:54] well, don't be using that command unless you enter 'rescue mode' which is verbal dressing for runlevel 1 aka single user mode === Bsims is now known as Bsims{fs} [03:54] 5 is traditionally multi-user with X [03:54] joe-mac: i mean i will use the CLI to remove a program. after that completes i just want to boot normally [03:54] what are you talking about joe-mac [03:54] ? [03:54] Hello. I have a question about security in Ubuntu. Are there any directories that are publically available except /var/www (default) on a server with apache2 and openSSH? [03:55] what's a "verbal dressing" or runlevel 1? [03:55] "rescue mode" at the grub menu when you boot [03:55] when you hit esc [03:55] you will be presented with a menu [03:55] one will say "rescue mode" at the end [03:55] that's the one you choose [03:55] joe-mac: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:55] ok i'll try [03:55] see you in a few [03:55] if i don't come back it worked [03:56] * Bsims{fs} smiles as I have set my woman as my collared sub to be [03:56] if you have two boxen, best to keep this window open while yuo do it [03:56] smg_yuk [03:56] joe-mac: what is so hard about him turning off compiz = fixing the issue then turn it back on? [03:57] smg_yukkkk [03:57] Hello. Is there any way in terminal to get a list of all the packages currently installed? I just installed a package but now I can't it in Synaptic [03:57] Stepan1: aptitude search ~i === SMG_CARIII_ is now known as SMG_yuk [03:58] <_VIM_> !nickspam | SMG_yuk [03:58] SMG_yuk: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead. See also « /msg ubottu Guidelines » [03:58] rww: great, thanks [03:58] So, I have a folder I want to make permissions avail for my normal login to read/write/execute. I did gksudo nautilus to run nautilus as root, but when try to change the owner of the directory it just changes it right back to root. What do I need to do? [03:58] redvamp128: his login session doesn't work [03:58] felixsulla: what type of filesystem is the folder on? ext2/3, ntfs, etc.? [03:58] for someone new to ubuntu, that is the equivalent of fixing apollo 13 === SMG_CARIII is now known as SMG_yuk [03:59] joe-mac: ctl-alt-f2 right after the drums? [03:59] yea, my first advice was based on what i thought was a freeze at boot [03:59] rww: Ok, stupid question.. how do I check that :/ === tareque is now known as tareque99 [03:59] zi just wanna say thanks to everyone here wo's helpng out us newbs [03:59] :) [04:00] felixsulla: the "mount" command in terminal will show a list of all mounted filesystems. If you know the folder path (e.g. /media/disk/foo/bar), you can match that up to the right line, then the filesystem type is right after it. [04:01] how do i install realplayer? [04:01] I'm having problems getting an wireless internet connection through Ubuntu, I had no problems when using the Live cd but after installing Ive had many problems with it. I had read many tutorials on it and talked with three other people but still at no solution. I had installed WICD with no luck, it was not able to find any wireless networks aswell with anything other then my wired connection. I had tried using NDISWRAPPER b [04:01] ut turned out my card is compatabile and it was not needed, even though oddly enough its still not working. My adapter is not off or anything else like that and Im running out of solutions. Any help? My card is Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61) [04:01] type vboxsf? [04:02] hi [04:02] hi chinguy [04:02] felixsulla: You could try what is on this page (and I do know it says .dmrc fix) but on the page there is a command to chmod so that it takes ownership of all the files to the specified user- Ubuntu .dmrc permission issue - a fix [04:02] i'm back [04:02] so hot [04:02] back from? [04:03] felixsulla: and you have to log off and goto options then window manger-- prompt only to run those commands at the bottom.. Should fix the permission issue for the folder. [04:03] Fallen[qa]: that card works near flawlessly with linux via a native module (meaning notndiswrapper) called ipw4965 i believe. so what is the behavior you're seeing? [04:03] How can i change directory to Local Disk in the terminal? [04:03] redvamp128: So i'm encountering some kind of bug..? Not just a normal permissions thing? [04:03] like no networks come up, or you try to connect and it fails? [04:03] <[ka]killer> hey guys, netfinity 5000 system, cant get into a prompt to modprobe any sugestions? [04:04] jhonnyboy, cd /path/to/"Local Disk" #perhaps? [04:04] Is there anyone on feisty? [04:04] I need a sources.list from a feisty machine [04:04] joe-mac; I have installed WICD and it is not able to identify any wireless networks, same thing with the native Network Manager [04:04] felixsulla: not really a bug per say = but running nautilus as sudo or gksu is not usually something to be ran (I only run it when I want to remove a file that won't let me otherwise) [04:04] <[ka]killer> feisty was 7.04 right? [04:04] <[ka]killer> or was it 7.10.. [04:04] what's feisty [04:04] Yes [04:04] unop: I don't know how to find the local disk on ubuntu >< [04:04] !feisty [04:04] Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [04:04] <[ka]killer> one sec [04:04] <[ka]killer> i think i may be [04:04] im trying to find some encrytion software for ubuntu [04:04] any ideas? [04:04] jhonnyboy, what do you mean by local disk? [04:04] <[ka]killer> need to vnc ot the box tho [04:05] jhonnyboy, maybe you should explain yourself a bit more. what do you mean local disk? [04:05] redvamp128: I was just thinking it'd be an easy way to adjust the permissions. I guess I should just look up the terminal command instead, eh? :) [04:05] 7.04 [04:05] DaSkreech: feisty isn't supported any more, and its apt repositories got moved to old-releases.ubuntu.com [04:05] rewt: Places > Local Disk [04:05] <[ka]killer> wait... never mind i updated to 7.10 [04:05] rww: that's kinda why I need the sources.list :) [04:05] Fallen[qa]: can you please go to applications accessories terminal and type sudo lsmod | grep ipw [04:05] just copy and paste that command, if nothing comes up, your driver isn't loaded [04:05] i need to change directory inside the terminal to my local disk so that i may find a .iso to run with Wine [04:05] joe-mac: lsmod doesn't require sudo [04:05] [ka]killer: give me the sources.list for that [04:05] <[ka]killer> one sec... have to vnc back to the box [04:05] Is anyone around that can help me with something. [04:05] felixsulla: yes that would be better-- but my fix should adjust all files to be permission for user (the sudo chmod 700 /home/) [04:05] <[ka]killer> freenode killed nightstar oro [04:05] oh hey kak [04:06] rww: It needs to have some file from the backports but I can't figure out where the backports server is [04:06] joe-mac; I got no response to the command [04:06] jhonnyboy, when you go there.. press CTRL+L .. you should see nautilus display the path in the navigation bar. you use that path with cd. [04:06] ok so now type sudo modprobe ipw4965 [04:06] DaSkreech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/121674/ [04:06] redvamp128: So just run litterally that line in bash: "sudo chmod 700 /home/ [04:06] ?

[04:07] trying to get it onto Netfinity 5000...saying that no CDrom is found, even after you boot from it, I was looking in this thread --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=818210&page=2 there at the top [04:07] ok apparently recently ipw has been deprecated fallen, try the first command lsmod | grep lwl === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [04:07] but break = top doesn't seem to stop anything at all [04:07] redvamp128: By cant be logged into the desktop, do you mean I cant have nautilus open..? [04:07] iwl** [04:08] so I have no way to get back to aprompt to type in modprobe ide_generic so it can continue installing === iron_man_ftw is now known as away_man_ftl [04:08] exact same problem as in that thread [04:08] any takers? please, I've been working on this sunce thursday night without any luck (three distros later...) [04:08] Fallen[qa]: this page has some good info http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_PRO/Wireless_4965AGN_Mini-PCI_Express_Adapter [04:08] felixsulla: no just log out-- then goto the options on the left bottom of the screen- then window manger-- then look for the option of prompt only (or maybe listed as command line recovery) depending on build [04:08] <[ka]killer> it has been driving him crazy [04:09] joe-mac; as for the output http://pastebin.com/m3c85016e [04:09] Does anyone know of a good software midi arpeggiator besides qmidiarp? Something that can work for Alsa MIDI or Jack MIDI? [04:09] redvamp128: Ok finally I just clued into what you mean. Thank you. [04:09] <[ka]killer> who wanted my source list from 7.04? [04:09] yeah. help me, before I try to install windows out of desperation D: [04:10] felixsulla: that will set all files in that folder to be user settings (all permissions for that folder to that user) [04:10] Fallen[qa]: paste "iwlist scan" [04:10] iwlist scan [04:10] don't you need to specify the interface with iwlist?

Check your killswitch. Then when you say it's not killed, check it a couple more times. [04:12] those things are great for getting stuck half way [04:12] ... [04:12] Orochium, You try adding any boot parameters? [04:12] and making you want to kill things [04:12] joe-mac; what do you mean by killswitch? [04:12] Orochium, I don't have a netfinity to try it on, but in the past, if I was installing on a box and it had problems seeing the cdrom, there were some boot parameters that were usefull. === rww is now known as meoblastOO1 [04:12] there is a wireless killswitch on lenovos, it's a physical switch, on other types of laptops it's an Fn+ControlKey switch === Tabidachi is now known as tabidachi_away === Starnestommy is now known as lstarnes [04:13] on my x300 it's somewhere near the front bottom [04:13] RussM: happen to know any of those, and I'd add those to the install line after hitting F6 in the installer right? [04:13] toshibas and dells have that too [04:13] Orochium, all_generic_ide helped me once before. [04:13] where am I plugging that in? === meoblastOO1 is now known as rww [04:14] Orochium, Hang on, i'll try booting the install iso in a vm so I don't get the info wrong. [04:14] very very appreciated [04:15] joe-mac; It seems to be on, Ive switched between on and off refreshing to see if it turned on but still not getting anything [04:15] hi, anyone is top with rsync, cause i made a -n flag rsync with the --delete & log-file, and i don't see in the log file what would be deleted [04:15] Fallen[qa]: is this a physical switch or a function key? is there a corresponding LED omn the LED panel? [04:16] joe-mac; physical switch and I dont think it is, not sure if their is one. Im on a Dell XPS laptop [04:16] Orochium, Yes, select your language, then hit f6, and add "all_generic_ide" in there, probably before "quiet" would be good. [04:16] <[ka]killer> wrong button [04:17] Fallen[qa]: in a terminal type sudo tail -f /var/log/messages [04:17] leave it open [04:17] then flip the switch, wait a couple, see if something shows in there [04:17] Is there any way to share a X-program over network? [04:18] Kagee: yes [04:18] (not vnc, 2 different users, same program) [04:18] joe-mac, how do you stop that? [04:18] Orochium, If that doesn't work, I see a post by someone in the forums that suggested "acpi=force" when installing 8.04 - maybe that's something that would help? The post is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=818210 [04:18] ctrl-c will stop tail -f [04:18] cool [04:18] Kagee: I was thinking VNC, but there's something for X I think, plus there's the NX stuff [04:18] anyone know how to disable the touch stick in the middle of the keyboard on a dell E6500 laptop?

[04:20] this is the job that NX do [04:20] joe-mac; Also thanks for all the help [04:20] Kagee: look at this site. http://www.nomachine.com [04:20] Russ: and thats what I'm TRYING to do [04:20] but it hasn't worked at all as explained [04:21] Does Ubuntu automatically come with VNC? [04:21] I boot...hilight Install Ubuntu server...press F6...at the end of the line, I add "break=top" [04:21] Stepan1: not properly no [04:21] which does NOTHING [04:21] Stepan1: a viewer, but not a server [04:21] then after it gets into the installer, where it sets up the keyboard and region and layout [04:21] <_VIM_> x11vnc is good [04:21] Stepan1: also VNC needs to be tunneld over SSH to be secure, when it's being done over net [04:21] just before cdrom I'm able to alt + F2 to activate the terminal [04:21] _VIM_: yeah and insecure unless tunneled over SSH [04:22] typing modprobe Ide_generic there gives me a FATAL: Not found [04:22] <_VIM_> ye [04:22] <_VIM_> yes* [04:22] I am out of ideas [04:22] sebsebseb: do you know if I installed server can i view from a windows machine?

[04:22] I've checked the MD5 twice, and reburnt the cd three times [04:22] Orochium, Maybe someone else has a suggestion on how to get it to see the install CD. all_generic_ide was the trick for me, but I was installing on a home-built box w/ an abit mobo, not a netfinity. [04:23] flip the switch and just wait, you should def see something new scroll by [04:23] _VIM_: well better safe than sorry, as the saying goes [04:23] RussM: what did you have to do...try to be specific, maybe I'm missing a step people take for granted [04:23] Orochium, what kind of bios settings does a netfinity have?

I'm using Intrepid and a few tutorials to manually edit the Pulse config files, but I ended up reinstalling and doing dkpg-reconfigure pulseaudio which broke it even more. sebsebseb ^ [04:40] well next release April, and maybe Pulseaudio is even better then === eric is now known as Guest57793 [04:40] <^Einstein> it's not PulseAudio that has to get better, it's how Ubuntu ships with it configured.

And so many that there's even documentation that's worked for other people, such as options=6stack-digital in the alsa config files... a lot of that just borked it even more.

[05:18] plcTowlie, the linux server is acting as my firewall/Router [05:18] <^Einstein> lowlycoder: yeah, those include the proprietary codecs you're looking for.

[05:22] <^Einstein> Simkin: it is for servers, and the ssh client is installed by default iirc, but the openssh server is actually a liability on most standard desktops. [05:22] hi could somebody tell me how to exit the X Windows server so i can log in as root please? [05:22] histo: you're using the "alternate" cd not the "desktop" one? [05:23] <^Einstein> Simkin: unless your computer downstairs is without ethernet, USB, or CD ports/drives, you can get it on there just fine, as a .deb or whatever [05:23] plcTowlie, sweet that was exactly what i was looking for [05:23] dicedealer: that's probably a bad idea :) [05:23] evanbd: yes [05:23] ^Einstein: it doesn't have to be running by default, just installed by default. [05:23] evanbd: i even tried hitting alt+F4 its not there on 8.04.1 [05:23] i need to log in as root so i can install the latest nvidia drivers [05:23] ^Einstein: isn't it possible to install it and not set it to any run level? [05:23] evanbd: err F4 sry. To pull up the modes menu [05:23] but i dont know how to exit the GUI [05:23] histo :/ I thought it was. No idea then.

I'm downloading 8.10 alternate now [05:24] who can help me to forward a port [05:24] dicedealer: in general, anything you could do by logging in as root can be done with sudo more safely. [05:24] evanbd: i think its missing on 8.04.1 but may be present on 8.04 alternate [05:25] when i tried running the autoinstaller with sudo for the drivers, it told me i must exit X windows before installing [05:26] does anybody know how i can log in as root please? im having trouble figuring out booting to command line [05:27] <^Einstein> dicedealer: your package manager, Synaptic, should handle all that for you. Download and install the packages and then hit control-alt-backspace or restart to reset your X server session. [05:27] you dont [05:27] <[ka]killer> you shouldnt need root [05:27] you log in as a user in an administrative role and sudo to do root commands [05:27] <[ka]killer> or to be logged in as root [05:27] <[ka]killer> yeah just use sudo [05:27] i tried that already it told me i must be logged in as root and that i must exit X before running the installer [05:28] <[ka]killer> what are you trying to install? [05:28] latest nvidia drivers [05:28] dicedealer: They aren't familiar with the way Ubuntu does things. You do not need to be root, merely use sudo. [05:28] dicedealer: in command line sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [05:28] <^Einstein> dicedealer: ok then, drop to the root shell using the recovery option that exists by default in your GRUB boot menu. [05:28] *sighs* i have already tried using sudo [05:28] dicedealer: It works fine with sudo. Just be sure you stop X [05:29] thats what im trying to figure out what to do... how do i stop X? [05:29] dicedealer: (ctrl-alt-f1 then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop) [05:29] dicedealer: ctrl + alt + Fn will get you a text-mode login prompt. Login there *as your normal user*, then shut down the X server manually. [05:29] dicedealer: also I had lots of problems with booting in a regular command line and had to hack the rc2 to stop gdm from starting then boot recovery then init 2 [05:29] and then to restart by typing start-x?

[06:06] lol [06:06] i know there must be some way to do it [06:07] megadeth? lol [06:07] ndiswrapper should be used if you need a windows driver to make it work [06:07] see what happens [06:07] crdlb, yea it does except sometimes it shows up [06:07] eepberries: to change it system wide-- system- preferences then prefered applications [06:07] eepberries: preferences> preffered applications> media [06:07] F_newton: i got the b43 driver [06:07] slide: what window manager? === ma5t3rw1tt_ is now known as ma5t3rw1tt [06:07] oh lol sorry [06:07] whatever comes with ubuntu [06:08] redvamp128: actually i looked there, but it's screwy. for one thing, shouldn't there be different default apps for music and video? [06:08] also, the default it shows there is not the program that loads when i open a video file [06:08] I have a bootable ubuntu usb stick and i only have 1gig. I was wondering if I wanna install programs and things if I can install them maybe on a different flash drive, maybe have 1 flash drive which is my OS and another one to save files on? [06:08] eepberries: you can also install ubuntu tweak [06:08] Unable to delete files from trash what can I do? [06:09] slide: visual effects or no? [06:09] it is showing Access Denied [06:09] story of my life [06:09] goodnight all... this will stay up but not me [06:09] is it possible (and easy) to log at the same time on a ldap account and on a local account ? [06:09] crdlb, normal not extra [06:09] any ideas to go about it? got the b43 driver, my network card can pick up my router through terminal, but when i disconnect and try to activate wireless thru network manager i get nothing [06:09] Anyone? [06:10] Badboy_: try this page [ubuntu] file in the trash, not in the gksudo nautilus trash, can't delete it! - Ubuntu Forums [06:10] slide: basically the same thing, just different plugins enabled [06:10] Thanks crdlb [06:10] and thanks redvamp128 [06:11] ma5t3rw1tt: i would guess you need to setup a link .. not sure how though [06:11] taylor04: ok, what do you see in the GUI network config? the NIC? [06:11] ma5t3rw1tt: i think its called sym link (symbolic) [06:12] centhogg: nic? sorry im pretty new to ubuntu [06:12] @b1n42y: Thats what I was thinking. But how would I install a program from lets say Synaptic or something onto another storage device? [06:12] taylor04: the wireless adapter [06:12] nic = network interface card [06:12] does anyone know if there's an easy way to make the calender week in Ubuntu start on Monday instead of Sunday? [06:13] @b1n42y: So lets say I wanted to install VLC player, but not install it on the stick that has my OS but wanna install it on another 1gig flash drive that I have, but leave that flash drive connected, how would I go about doing that? [06:13] ma5t3rw1tt: im guessing if you set the link up it will store it in wherever you set the link too, maybe even add it to a config file also, no idea how though, google if no answers come here after youve waited for a bit [06:13] oh let me try this [06:14] i might be just imagining it, but i think the sound of my songs are lower in quality when i play them on ubuntu as compared to vista. Can something be dome regarding this? === \kira is now known as stealth_tty1 [06:14] ma5t3rw1tt: you can get a much bigger usb drive for a pretty reasonable price these days. might be worth the money to not have to struggle with that issue [06:15] ma5t3rw1tt: also it would be the bin file that you are linking, not sure if ubuntu will like that [06:15] p1cTowlie: Well at the moment I am kinda low on money, thats why I am trying what resources I have at the moment [06:15] plcTowlie: AGREES [06:15] hi, [06:15] where do I change the brown screen when X starts up to something else? [06:15] (not the login screen, just the brown blank screen) [06:15] so on the network device it was on lo, i switched it to wlan0 and it says not available, i switch it to wlan0 avahi and it gives me some feedback [06:16] b1n42y: Do you have any idea on how I would download something onto another storage device from synaptic? === away_man_ftl is now known as iron_man_ftw [06:16] I installed 8.10 alternate i386, and it installed just fine. But the screen is all chopped up. Any ideas? [06:16] ma5t3rw1tt: also maybe it involves setting up a seperate partion on that othe usb and calling it \bin [06:16] b1n42y: So instead of it downloading like where it normally goes, it would be elsewhere? [06:17] Iron_Chef: Ubuntu Tweak Ubuntu Tweak--Let's tweak ubuntu! === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [06:17] hmmmmm [06:17] b1n42y: do you have experience with this? [06:17] ma5t3rw1tt: i know what your talking about, i have been giving you ideas on what to search for on google as noone here seems to know at the moment [06:17] CentHOGG:so on the network device it was on lo, i switched it to wlan0 and it says not available, i switch it to wlan0 avahi and it gives me some feedback [06:18] b1n42y: And yes your ideas are helpin, just trying to figure this out. I am sure something so simple as this can b done [06:18] redvamp128, i'd rather just change the relevant config file, than install a 3rd party app (looks good though) [06:18] ma5t3rw1tt: thats why i suggested the bin partition [06:19] anyone got any ideas on how to go about setting up my wireless? [06:19] ma5t3rw1tt: ubuntu might handle the rest automatically [06:19] b1n42y: would that screw up my bootable OS from the usb stick it boots from? [06:19] ma5t3rw1tt: i would assume so without any additionaly tweaks [06:20] hmmmmm this is so simple but yet a hard answer :P [06:20] ma5t3rw1tt: i was thinking from scratch approach [06:21] b1n42y: I rather not have to go through setting all this up again. I booted into Windows at the moment. I am just trying to figure things out [06:21] ma5t3rw1tt: any file (folder) such as bin where programs are kept can have its own partition so during install ... would be easiest without knowledge of additional tweaks needed [06:21] hello [06:22] any way to see the temperature of my 9800gt using lm-sensors? [06:22] ma5t3rw1tt: try google... or come back later :) [06:22] ? [06:22] b1n42y: Well its not like this is a dual boot or whatever, Ubuntu 8.10 is installed on a 1gig USB Flash Drive. [06:22] Anyway I'll search around on google & the forums [06:22] Thanks!!!! [06:22] no offense but why not just buy a bigger flash drive [06:23] ma5t3rw1tt: no probs sorry couldnt help more [06:23] eepberries: Waiting 4 some money 2 come in firstly. [06:23] eepberries: Thinking just buying a bigger flash drive so I can have something nice and portable. THE POWER OF LINUX IN THE PALM OF MY PORTABLE DRIVE lol [06:23] do you have anything like an ipod [06:24] eepberries: iPod Touch is all I have [06:24] do you use it? [06:24] ma5t3rw1tt: you can pickup 16gb for 49 AUD, but yeah i know whats its like when cash no ere, ere no cash [06:24] eepberries: iPod Touch is different cause it don't allow you to access the filesystem without jailbreaking it === Nytrix is now known as Guest4442 [06:24] I am installing a program (extract from .tar.gz) and I execute it ( ./program-install.pl ) and then it prompt me that the program couldn't find the "make" program in my system ? why is that so? is it the gcc compiler is not installed ? [06:25] ma5t3rw1tt: can't you just reformat it [06:25] can any1 help me with a dual screen issue? [06:25] eepberries: Even then you can't use it as a hard drive or boot anything because its designed different [06:25] eepberries: Its not like your normal iPods out there, its different for a reason. [06:26] well anyway, you can get 4gig flash drives for like 10 to 15 dollars [06:26] eepberries: Yeah, I hope here soon I'll be getting my tax return, then I'll be getting some :D [06:27] ma5t3rw1tt: why can't you install ubuntu on your hard drive though? [06:27] eepberries: Cause I want something portable that I can take to computer to computer [06:27] ive installed KDE via add/remove but how do i turn it on? [06:27] how can i add songs to my 2nd generation ipod nano with ubuntu? [06:27] TruthTaco: you select a KDE session at the login menu [06:28] so if you want to use it, log out, then select KDE under sessions at the login menu [06:28] well i tried that once, but it still looked exactly like gnome [06:28] eepberries: That way I can learn linux more and have something portable at the sametime [06:28] TruthTaco: what did you select [06:28] the only one that said KDE [06:28] well i don't know [06:29] i only use xfce and gnome [06:29] lemme go try again [06:29] brb [06:29] anyone? 8.10 i386 install on an AMD Athlon is giving me chopped visuals. I can barely see what is on the screen. [06:29] tlacaelel: what kind of video card do you have [06:29] @eepberries & b1n42y: Thank you 2 for all your help. [06:29] no problem [06:29] I am off to bed everyone, nite [06:29] ati radeon [06:29] radeon what [06:30] holdon I check [06:30] like that you mena? [06:30] anti_theocon: ? [06:30] eepberries: ATI Radeon IGP320M shared [06:31] any one can help me with the lib soup community [06:31] Can anybody tell me why my "Add user" button is removed in the users and groups editor in Gnome? [06:31] :) [06:31] tlacaelel: have you ever tried using ubuntu before? [06:31] with this same computer i mean [06:32] nevermind, I found my own answer. I'm half retarded, that's all. The other half ain't none too smart, either. [06:32] no... I installed 8.04 and it worked just fine... but my laptop's backlight is out so I'm trying to get it to work with an external monitor. [06:32] so you used 8.04 with the same computer before and it worked fine? [06:32] I figured 8.10 might detect the external monitor for me [06:32] eepberries: yes [06:32] is it jus the external monitor that's looking weird? [06:32] im having monitor issues as well! [06:33] :x [06:33] both the 86 [06:33] so both the laptop monitor and the external are looking weird/ [06:33] fixed my vent problem =D [06:33] ? [06:33] eepberries: it isn't even sending it to the external monitor. I wish it would, so I could see what's going on without peering into the laptop screen with a flashlight, lol. [06:34] eepberries: 8.04 wouldn't send it to the external monitor either === am4zin is now known as amazin [06:34] well yeah, dual monitoring is tricky in linux [06:34] i don't really know anything about that myself, but you have to go out of your way to do it [06:34] but anyway, i guess it could be a driver issue [06:34] eepberries: issok. is there a way to ssh into the ubuntu machine to try and fix settings from my osx machine? [06:35] yeah [06:35] hang on a sec [06:35] x-ip: alright, that didnt work :) now not even vista boots :) [06:35] do I need the ubuntu machine's ip address? I wonder how to get that without a working screen... [06:35] tlacaelel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto [06:35] read that first of all [06:35] i think that should have all the info you need [06:36] it's really easy though [06:36] thx!! :D [06:36] hitman1985: it has to be fixed [06:36] hitman1985: surely u did something wrong [06:36] but basically [06:37] x-ip: first thing that is wrong is ubuntu not automaticly creating that like in 8.04 if that was there, i wouldnt be stuck [06:37] i think all you'll have to do is install openenssh-server then i think you don't really have to do anything after that [06:37] hitman1985: it creates that automatically :S [06:37] surely u first installed ubuntu and then vista, right ?! [06:37] aside from logging into the ubuntu computer using its local ip address [06:37] x-ip: no vista then ubuntu [06:38] hmm .... [06:38] redvamp128, help, i have made changes in my synaptic server from default server to oscc server, but it didnt work n still downloading from default server? how come? [06:39] kreino: what are you trying to do [06:39] x-ip: i was tryin to assign / to the ext3 partition of ubuntu, then swap is swap of corse and the vista partition is now set as not used, but if i enable mount point windows, nothing can be written ... error [06:39] when i copy a file to a usb drive with X it stops and complains about an IO error after its copied a good ammount [06:39] if i copy it via cli, i have no trouble, whats with that ? [06:40] hitman1985: :S [06:40] eepberries, i try to change download server... in my synaptic source [06:40] x-ip: that isnt funny :( [06:40] it also removes the disk from the system as if it doesn't exist [06:40] download what server [06:40] hitman1985: hmmm i cannot guide u to fix that ... u need someone with knowledge to fix it [06:41] if u want i can try to fix it by ssh [06:41] x-ip: i guess i can just kiss my vista partition good bye and just format the whole deal :( [06:41] thats mean access to ur machine with security shell [06:41] hitman1985: are you not able to run windows? [06:42] hitman1985: :( [06:42] i m not able to run anything anymore [06:42] em.. by default.. when i add something software.. it will be downloaded from default server...ubuntu intpred.. but i hacve made change into OSCC server... but i woldnt be? [06:42] hitman1985: so you can't load ubutun or anything? [06:42] eepberries, em.. by default.. when i add something software.. it will be downloaded from default server...ubuntu intpred.. but i hacve made change into OSCC server... but i woldnt be? [06:42] eepberries: only via live session [06:42] hitman1985: i'm sorry :S, 'boot problems' needs some knowledge to be fixed [06:43] hitman1985: what did you do to screw things up? [06:43] eepberries, it still downloads from default server , not OSCC server..i dont know how to do yet [06:43] eepberries: installed ubuntu i guess [06:43] kreino: sorry i don't know anything about that [06:43] hitman1985: well you first installed ubuntu then windows vista right? [06:43] eepberries: i installed just like always and it just didnt boot :( [06:43] were you ever able to run anything after installing vista? [06:43] were yeah [06:43] but i want to have dual boot [06:44] so you can load vista but not ubuntu? [06:44] eepberries: nothing loads anymore :) [06:44] and that happened after installing vista right? [06:45] could somebody please help me set up file sharing between my ubuntu desktop and my wireless xp laptop ? [06:45] you can manage the disk while vista is installed, shrink its size down and install ubuntu on the largest contiguious area. [06:45] eepberries: the only thing vista dvd shows during "attempt" to repair boot part of vista, is that my 3rd hdd supposely has the bootpartition and doesnt fix it [06:45] eepberries, i have updated my ubuntu.. from kernel ...11 to kernel ...27, but on bootscreen menu, the old kernel still be shown.. how to delete it from that menulist? [06:45] kreino: sorry i don't know [06:46] hitman1985: try loading the ubuntu setup and see what partitions it recognizes [06:46] eepberries: it recognizes : [06:46] kreino, edit grub and change whats there, sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:46] hitman1985: i wouldn't be terribly surprised if reinstalling ubuntu (without deleting or messing with the vista partitions) fixed the problem [06:47] ubuntu should be default install grub and configure it to load windows [06:47] eepberries: should, but isnt, heres the list : [06:47] ok in try illumin8 [06:47] _g, test [06:47] kreino, whats listed after title is simply that, it can be altered to reflect the new kernel. [06:47] _GoRDoN_, test [06:48] eepberries: gimme 5 mins , gonna go back to setup and write them down to make sure :) [06:48] hitman1985, did you see my previous message on the proper way to install vista and ubuntu? [06:49] hi [06:49] iam a windows user and thinking of switching to ubuntu [06:49] illumin8, may i know, what differences between kernel...7 and kernel...11? [06:49] how is it better than windows? [06:49] DMZ_: it isn't [06:50] it's an alternative [06:50] kreino, i am not fimilar with the advances in kernels sorry, but generally they include a better ability to process data. [06:50] both have their strong point and weaknesses [06:50] DMZ_: google linux vs windwos [06:50] oh i c.. illumin8 [06:50] DMZ_, no viruses, secure [06:51] DMZ_, there are many reasons to move to linux from windows, one being that its cost is much more reasonable (where applicabale) [06:51] eepberries: its better in so many ways .. cant believe you said its an alternative [06:51] oh please [06:51] it's just an OS [06:51] Incarus: but i can make my windows that secure but there are alot of stuff that i can do under windows that i can't under linux [06:51] just like xp, vista, mac os, and unix [06:52] they all have strong point and weaknesses [06:52] yay the network's working :D [06:52] Anyone had problems with the ubuntushop lately? [06:52] illumin8, i hav made change in my synaptic source server... from default to http://mirror.oscc.org.my/ubuntu/.... but when i add software at add/remove software, it doesnt work.. still download from the default server? [06:52] DMZ_: one of the main advantages of linux is that it's extremely customizable, though at the same time it can make using linux a bit harder [06:52] DMZ_, you actually cant make your windows as secure as linux, because the operating system itself is diffirent. along with the fact there are more windows users so its exploted more often. [06:54] umm quick question ... maybe not relevant to this channel but hopefully someone might know... why is it that when i try to access my lappy on win7 it asks for a username and pass ... but on ubuntu it connected automatically? [06:54] but i use alot of applications under windows that i can't find under linux even if i found some i find it really complicated to compile tar balls can't it be as easy as windows? [06:54] eepberries: how about security, malware, spyware, trojans, worms, cost, open source free software, abillity to run must have windows applications under wine or emulate windows from within linux etc etc etc [06:54] brrrrrradical, yes [06:54] When i make an order in the ubuntu shop, some days later, i get a mail that says that my order will be refunded.. Anyone knows why? [06:54] how do i uninstall something i installed manually (from tarball) [06:54] DMZ_, there are helper tools in linux that would allow a less difficult change over, one for example would be wine. [06:54] brrrrrradical, you can change this setting in ubuntu [06:54] b1n42y: how about stop being such a fanboy [06:54] Incarus: i want to change it in win7! [06:54] DMZ_, again, they are not flawless and would present thier own challanges. [06:55] brrrrrradical, oh, not in ubuntu chat [06:55] Incarus: i live in the middle of nowhere ... i dont need a username and pass [06:55] eepberries: not a fanboy just being factual [06:55] illumin8: but i just couldn't install a single tarballs after searching for all types of help everywhere [06:55] please [06:55] Incarus: is there a chat u know off hand related to win7 or windows networking? [06:55] Hi all... I've just installed Intrepid for the first time on my laptop... with previous versions, I was able to use my left/right scroll as back/forward in Firefox... but I can't figure out how to do that in Intrepid [06:55] anyway this isnt the place like i said google linux vs windows [06:55] to claim that viruses and maleware are a serious threat to a half-intelligent windows user is like saying you'll get cancer from smoking a single cigarette [06:56] DMZ_, just like learning to use windows, you would need to learn proper methods here in linux. as i said, each has challanges. [06:56] brrrrrradical, http://www.lockergnome.com/windows/2007/02/20/configure-vista-for-automatic-logon/ [06:56] yes, linux is generally more secure, but at the same time it has a much steeper learning curve, is a bit more finnicky, and takes more effort to use [06:56] that's not to say it isn't worth it though [06:56] Incarus: thanks ... i will reboot and try ... god bless u :P [06:56] how do i uninstall something i installed via tarball? [06:56] but linux is by no means a perfect operating system [06:56] yet :) [06:56] illumin8: but just a month ago what pissed me off what a computer science friend of mine couldn't install a tar ball as well plus it doesn't recognize my ntfs backup drive [06:57] eepberries: sda, sda1 - ntfs , sda5 - ext3, sda6 - swap [06:57] linux is far from perfect [06:57] hitman1985: have you tried reinstalling ubuntu? [06:57] eepberries: sdb, sdb1 - ntfs ; sdc, adc1 - ntfs [06:57] eepberries: thats just when your new to it... anyway ... agrees on its not perfect [06:57] hitman1985: have you tried reinstalling ubuntu? [06:57] eepberries: yea it dont change a thing [06:57] eepberries, linux is near perfect, the cia + fbi, nasa, nsa ... use it [06:57] Incarus: yeah sure, it's near perfect for servers [06:58] but the year of linux on the desktop is many, many years away [06:58] eepberries, no, decryption, cracking, sniffing [06:58] eepberries: roflmao [06:58] aka stuff that you don't need a gui for [06:58] DMZ_, i assume you used ubuntu durring your complications, note that here in ubuntu .deb packages are closer designed to work well in this environment. [06:58] eepberries: it looks to me like the boot stuff is way off the hook [06:58] hitman1985: have you tried reinstalling ubuntu since this happened or not [06:58] eepberries, and is mac better?# [06:58] DMZ_, but yes. not everything will go as you plan in linux without digging for the right methods, and in some cases making the methods yourself. [06:59] eepberries: yes, i ve tried multiple times, the only thing the windows repair assistant can unveil is that supposely my data hdd has the bootmanager installed but not any other partition [06:59] illumin8: but the thing is that i can't find the application i need to use in the application manager so i tend to download tarballs which is a bombball [06:59] hitman1985: the problem is that windows installation has a nasty habit of screwing things up when you're trying to dual boot [07:00] eepberries: with 8.04 never was an issue :( === rww is now known as robertwall [07:00] DMZ_, if you dont mind me asking what applciation did you have problems with? [07:00] hi, i can't change file permissions with sudo chmod or ownership with sudo chown [07:00] hitman1985: it has nothing to do with ubuntu, it has to do with windows installation installing its own boot loader [07:00] illumin8: vlc but under mandriva not ubuntu really [07:00] illumin8: and kismet too [07:01] hitman1985: also, when you reinstall ubuntu, can you load it then? [07:01] completely forgetting about vista i mean [07:01] eepberries, and is mac better? [07:01] DMZ_, im on crunchbang as we speak, out of the box its working excellent its based on 8.10. perhaps you would test it yourself or use 8.10 32 bit to see if it includes what you would need. [07:01] eepberries: no its not loadable [07:01] Incarus: mac is for idiots [07:02] hitman1985: you need to fix mbr if your planning to start from scratch [07:06] seema wolfe.freenode went down :) [07:07] as soon as enter the login, it returns 'incorrect login', what wrong with my system ? [07:07] ok [07:07] as soon as enter the login, it returns 'incorrect login', what wrong with my system ? [07:07] eepberries, windows boot manager and grub annoying each other [07:07] Incarus: probably, but reinstalling ubuntu should overwrite anything windows did right? at least that's been my experience [07:07] illumin8: i was using unetbootin but it gives me an error message like this try (hd0.0):EXT2: [07:07] maxagaz, your password is wrong, check keyboard map [07:07] DMZ_, there are a number of functional methods for installing duel boots. some would be network installs, livecds, usb driven boots. [07:07] DMZ_, but again, there are challanges with each [07:07] eepberries, ho, did hi reinstall ubuntu over windows? [07:07] Incarus, keyborad map ? [07:07] Incarus: i don't think so. i'm not entirely sure on the details [07:07] maxagaz, special keys and so on [07:07] no [07:07] DMZ_, it would probably be less of a hassle to buy a cd drive. a dvd drive costs like 20 euros new, I'm sure you'll get a cd drive really cheap [07:08] i had installed vista ultimate 64 bit last week :) [07:08] eepberries,k, i would do a ram check, and overwrite mbr and something like this [07:08] then ubuntu 8.10 today [07:08] after install ALL bootloader activity stopped [07:08] hitman1985, over vista, or dualboot? [07:08] nothing boots besides a live cd :( [07:08] plsd: iam considering a new labtop rather than fixing everything in my old one it's a 512 of rams lol [07:08] Incarus: besides vista [07:08] hitman1985, k [07:08] Incarus: resized a 500gb :) [07:08] hitman1985, vistas bootloader overwrites the mbr, so grub wont work. [07:09] Incarus, when i try 'passwd myusername', it returns: authentification token manipulation error [07:09] illumin8_: he installed ubuntu after installing windows [07:09] hitman1985, boot a live cd and remove grub or remove windows boot manager [07:09] vistas loader seems to be on each hdd here, i got 3 hdds connected and vista repair disc detects a bootloader on E (data hdd) [07:09] I want to install postfix BUT I have rkhunter which depends on exim, what should I do? [07:09] hi, i can't change file permissions with sudo chmod or ownership with sudo chown [07:09] Incarus: im on live cd :) [07:09] eepberries, thanks i missed the order. [07:09] darph, try "sudo chmod 777 file" [07:10] Incarus: i dont have more systems in my house then one sorry :) [07:10] Incarus, tried it.. doesn't change [07:10] k [07:10] Good morning everybody, today when i started my computer, i cant get to X. I can't remember doing any changes yesterday. Heh, any ideas :) [07:10] hitman1985, remove grub in linux [07:11] hitman1985, then it should work [07:11] Incarus: how so? readme or such [07:11] Incarus, i've even tried gksudo nautilus and changing it.. but no use.. it reverts back to original file permission [07:11] hitman1985, ? [07:11] hitman1985: one thing to be cautious of is the vista repair disc itself. i don't know if this is the case with vista's, but my xp will destroy my boot sector whenever i use the repair mode or whatever it was called [07:11] Am3ndment: see x11 logs [07:11] Incarus: i dont know scuad about this stuff :) [07:11] darph, yeah, thats a problem, which ubuntu? [07:11] hitman1985,k [07:11] What is the preferred Ubuntu audio conference program? [07:11] Incarus, 8.10 [07:11] hitman1985, mount your linux partition [07:12] Am3ndment: vim /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:12] darph, try to update your system, could be a bug [07:12] eepberries, good thinking about how grub could have been whiped :) [07:12] puzanov: where they was, /var/log ? [07:12] thanks [07:12] eepberries, good idea [07:12] eepberries, he can repair his mbr under linux live cd [07:12] anybody here use audacious? [07:13] again, i don't know if the vista disc does that, but there isn't any reason to be using it anyway [07:13] Incarus: i got the 1 100 gb here which should be ubuntu, for some reason in the live cd my main partition (300gb_ vista) isnt even showin, but push that back, volume loeded [07:13] Eneloop: yep [07:13] eepberries, recovery mode will indeed whipe the grubs mbr, you are 100 percent accurate [07:13] hitman1985, how old is the live cd? [07:13] eepberries, erm sorry whipe grub from the mpr. [07:13] about 10 mins [07:14] yeah i thought sot [07:14] oh about 3 hrs :) since i burnd it :) [07:14] hitman1985, k, vista got a new file system [07:14] entrooo: I'a using it for creating my podcasts [07:14] have you had trouble with it crashing after streaming for a while? [07:14] hitman1985, one moment [07:14] maxagaz: make sure capslock is off, then username enter then password enter [07:14] entrooo: nope [07:14] entrooo: works well for me [07:14] Incarus: isnt there a way to remote into this machine from somewhere, i m really not the bst person to mess with bootloaders :) [07:14] mine keeps crashing, however I'm on a bad dsl connection [07:15] so that might be the problem [07:15] the stream keeps stopping and starting and then the program crashes [07:15] hitman1985, i wouldnt do that [07:15] Incarus: kk :) [07:15] hitman1985, which partition is linux (the installed), sda2? [07:15] hitman1985, using the livecd is your best option, and incarus is just the person to walk you through it :) [07:16] illumin8_, yeah [07:16] Incarus: how to see that from here [07:16] is putting a dot at the bigining of folders hide it? [07:16] hitman1985, look in gparted [07:16] Incarus: i got sda 5 +6 (5-ext3 and 6 - swap [07:16] DMZ_: yeah [07:16] DMZ_, in a way, ctr+h while in the folder would show it. [07:16] puzanov: heh, i get "no screen found" error [07:17] DMZ_, and also rehide it. [07:17] hitman1985, sda5 [07:17] illumin8: so will the dot hide it from the gui too? [07:17] entrooo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audacious/+bug/244208 [07:17] Incarus: ohhhh i cc now :) gparted is still here :) [07:17] hitman1985, mount it [07:17] DMZ_, correct, open your home folder and try ctrl+h you can see it in action. [07:17] DMZ_: the dot is just a way of knowing that a folder is hidden when you're looking at it in the command line [07:18] Incarus: its mounted (thats what gparted says) [07:18] so is there a way to password protect folders? [07:18] puzanov: what does it mean when my audacious goes grey? [07:18] hitman1985, enter "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" [07:19] entrooo: hmm.. seems that it freezes [07:19] Incarus: it says couldnt find device ,,, [07:19] hitman1985, k [07:19] hitman1985, wait [07:19] brb running to p real quick :) 1 min [07:20] puzanov: is there way to linux write new xorg.conf? [07:20] = i got "No screen found" error, even tho there is entry of screen [07:20] Brother printers on 8.10? Anyone? Bueller? [07:20] i installed ubuntu with 4gb swap. [07:20] Incarus, is there a known bug that does not allow changing file permissions? [07:20] hitman1985, enter "sudo grub" in a terminal [07:20] then i tried to install windows xp. [07:21] darph, dont know, it is a bug [07:21] int256: uh oh [07:21] Am3ndment: yes, what video driver do you use? [07:21] in windows xp i formatted swap [07:21] Incarus: grub> [07:21] intel GMA 950 [07:21] int256: let me guess, you can't load linux now right [07:21] !grub [07:21] 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 [07:21] and all my other drives are gone. pls help [07:21] Am3ndment: any driver has its own set of tools [07:21] hmh, where can i find it? [07:21] i want my other drives back. with data. [07:21] int256: what drives are gone? in what? [07:22] hitman1985, "root (hd0,2)" [07:22] int256: so, you overwrote your linux swap partition to install windows xp right? [07:22] eepberries: yes [07:22] int256: so what's the problem you're having [07:22] Am3ndment: what video card vendor you have on the box? nvidia? radeon? intel? [07:22] Incarus: error no such partition [07:22] hitman1985, k [07:22] hitman1985, "root (hd0,1)" [07:23] Intel [07:23] eepberries: the other partitions are not showing up on windows. or linux [07:23] puzanov: intel and i use i810 drivers [07:23] Incarus, if hes got linux on sda5 wouldtn it be (hd0,4)? [07:23] Incarus: that seemd to have not thrown an erro [07:23] int256: which other partitions? unrelated partitions, or linux partitions? [07:23] Incarus: it just went back to grub> [07:23] illumin8_, dont know, i dont like grub [07:23] eepberries: unrelated partitions [07:24] hitman1985, "root (hd0,4)" [07:24] Incarus: that did the same [07:24] eepberries: with movies and games and softwares for linux. [07:24] int256: well the fact that you can load linux at all is weird. installing windows xp generally overwrites grub, making your linux installation inaccesible [07:24] Incarus: right back to grub> [07:24] hitman1985, good :) [07:24] illumin8_, was wrong [07:24] hitman1985, "root (hd0,6)" [07:25] eepberries: ok, i want my partitions to show up in windows. [07:25] int256: do they show up in ubuntu? [07:25] hitman1985, have yoi got 2 hds? [07:25] eepberries: no [07:25] Am3ndment: hmm, cant remember any tool for intel, but you can try this: X -config /root/xorg.conf.new [07:25] Incarus: how about 3 :) [07:25] hitman1985, lol that explains it :) [07:25] int256: well, if you're lucky all that's happened is your mbr is messed up and has lost the partitions, which can be recovered [07:25] hitman1985, on which of them is ubuntu? on the second? [07:26] Incarus: first (sda) [07:26] Am3ndment: after that you can replace xorg.conf with new generated file and reboot x-server [07:26] Incarus: u want a screenshot of gparted ? [07:26] eepberries: how ? [07:26] I can't remove exim4 [07:26] int256: int256: let me think a second [07:26] hitman1985, yes [07:26] eepberries: ok [07:26] Incarus: kk lemme find out how to do that ;) [07:27] hitman1985, where's a tool [07:27] hitman1985, or the print key [07:27] Using the gnome-system-monitor... What the hell is "Other" network traffic? It seems to be quite active - And that bugs me. [07:27] Incarus: i know :) print then save then ul to tinypic [07:27] hitman1985, k [07:28] int256: what os are you using right now [07:28] eepberries: ubuntu i my second hdd. [07:28] hitman1985, which hd is the first-booting? [07:28] Incarus: http://i43.tinypic.com/mma5cl.png [07:29] Incarus: booting is none at the moment, but the one i got vista / ubuntu on is the only one that should boot in the way i had it planned [07:29] hitman1985, your ntfs (vista) is broken [07:29] if I want to install the kernel source for my currently installed kernel (2.6.27-11), what package do I install [07:29] Do you see this message? [07:29] alright. assuming that int256's partitions are lost but still in existance, what program would he/she used to find and restore them? [07:29] gpart? [07:29] Htx-Bruger: yes [07:29] Hi, how do I merge several files into one? (concatenate) [07:30] Hi, I am looking for an open-source app that can convert an .bin to a .iso. Does anyone know one? [07:30] Incarus: shouldnt be :( all i did is resize with ubuntu install === Roozi is now known as RoozbehOnline [07:30] hitman1985, yes, but resizing is verry riskfull [07:30] lianimator: cat source1 source2 source3 source4 > destination [07:30] rww: thanks [07:31] hitman1985, we try to repair it [07:31] Good evening, all. [07:31] Incarus: hope we can [07:31] popmadness, morning [07:31] Incarus: that is 30 gb of family pictures! [07:31] hello... my boot is slowed down due to an no-critical error and i have no clue what is wrong... could pls someone attend this? [07:31] hitman1985, yes [07:31] int256: i think you want to use gparted to find the lost partitions, assuming that's what's going on [07:31] I have a question for y'all [07:31] Does anyone know about a Install guide for newbie? [07:31] int256: actually no, gpart is what i mean [07:32] hitman1985, make right click on ntfs partition and search something like repair or check ... [07:32] !install | SinPro [07:32] SinPro: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - see also !automate [07:32] I have a question about my video card with Intrepid. I have a VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 6100 nForce 405, and the flash freezes up every browser. The browser goes grey and remains that way until a force quit. Any suggestions? [07:32] Why is it that I get recursive errors when trying to install an alternate window manager? [07:32] eepberries: wait, i am checking [07:32] Heya, no help [07:32] popmadness, "glxinfo | grep direct" [07:32] Oh It's great! thx [07:33] It opened some ugly window and there was X mouse cursor but nothing else :/ [07:33] Other ideas? [07:33] Incarus: check and repair will be riskfull as it tells me that now [07:33] hitman1985, 30 gb pictures? do you save everything in raw? [07:33] direct rendering: Yes [07:33] [07:33] [07:33] [07:33] hitman1985, yes, do it [07:33] eepberries: it shows the entire hdd as 'unallocated' [07:33] Incarus: Sorry. Enter key fail. [07:33] popmadness, have you got x86 or x64? [07:34] Incarus: Sorry. Enter key fail. [07:34] popmadness, i know [07:34] can I use the vmware at Ubuntu? [07:34] int256: gpart showed that? also, how many hard drives do you have? which have missing partitions? [07:34] SinPro, yes [07:34] SinPro, you can also use qemu [07:34] qemu? [07:34] puzanov: didnt work [07:34] Incarus: x86. I can give you my phpsysinfo URL if need be. [07:34] I haven't herad about it [07:34] SinPro, yes, is quicker (if you use kqemu) [07:34] any1 have experience with "Big Desktop" and fglrx drivers? [07:34] Incarus: wow it just threw an error [07:34] eepberries: the 250gb drive. i selected it.. [07:35] popmadness, k [07:35] int256: was this using gparted or gpart? [07:35] hitman1985, tell me [07:35] hitman1985, or make a screenshot [07:35] Incarus: http://mypopmadness.com/phpsysinfo . [07:35] eepberries: gparted [07:35] * SinPro slaps Incarus around a bit with a large trout [07:35] int256: i'm pretty sure that's a different program [07:35] int256: from what i'mm reading, gpart is the program for trying to recover lost partitions [07:36] eepberries: ok wait, i will install [07:36] Incarus, how do i get kqemu? [07:36] Incarus: http://i44.tinypic.com/25k0eoi.png [07:36] popmadness, "ps -u root | grep xorg" [07:36] int256: i should let you know though that i've never actually used it, i only have experience with the program testdisk for windows xp [07:36] SinPro, if you want kqemu, you have to compile it [07:37] oh [07:37] Incarus: [07:37] have any of you ever recovered lost partitions using linux? if so please chime in [07:37] hitman1985, your ntfs is broken [07:37] popmadness, good [07:37] Incarus, Im such a newbie... how can i comile it ... [07:38] popmadness, adobes flash player or gansh? [07:38] SinPro, use vmware, its easier [07:38] ok [07:38] Incarus: wow great, meaning ubuntus coders just cost me my family pics, :( [07:38] eepberries: i used apt-get to install gpart. how to use it ? [07:38] Incarus, kqemu can run directx? [07:38] whatver you do dont interrupt gparted processes once youve clicked apply [07:38] hitman1985, no, you can rescue it [07:38] I've tried Adobe installed alone, gansh alone, both installed together. Just Adobe right now. [07:38] int256: http://www.brzitwa.de/mb/gpart/index.html [07:38] that page seems to have some good information on using it [07:38] SinPro, could be [07:39] hitman1985, wait a sec [07:39] int256: i've never used it myself, though i've done the same thing with a different program in windows xp [07:39] Now i dont get any errors in xorg.log file :/ [07:39] Hey guys, we just had to pull the drives out of a raid 1 server, and put them back in an hour later (after testing), however, they won't boot, and when we fdisk either one of the drives, the ext3 partition shows up as "Swap/Linux (146Gig)" Any idea? Anything we can do? [07:39] hitman1985, "sudo mkdir /media/Vista", "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/Vista" [07:40] hitman1985, we can rescue your private things, but i think you have to reinstall vista [07:40] Incarus: it says you must specify the filesystem [07:41] hitman1985, k , mom [07:41] Incarus: do you know anything about finding lost partitions using linux? [07:41] bkruse1: fstab needs modifying by the sounds of it... dont know [07:41] eepberries, you can use testdisk for that... [07:41] rdw200169: oh is that available on linux? [07:41] eepberries, it'll seek out and find old partition tables [07:41] eepberries, yup [07:41] oh okay [07:41] cool [07:41] hitman1985, "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/Vista" [07:42] eepberries, yes, use testdisk or something like that [07:42] b1n42y: I appreciate it, but it won't even boot right now, so we have it in a PC with knoppix running, just trying to save the mysql database [07:42] we just need the mysql database :/ [07:42] Incarus: that where it says file system type ? [07:42] eepberries, you *are* talking about finding partitions that have been deleted, right? [07:42] hitman1985, ? [07:42] hitman1985, try the command [07:42] rdw200169: not sure, it isn't my problem. i'm trying to help int256 figure out why some of his partitions are missing === tmanternach is now known as trvr [07:42] eepberries, not just hard to detect, like ext3 on windows [07:42] or if they're just gone [07:43] Incarus: Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Invalid argument [07:43] The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't have a valid NTFS. [07:43] Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a [07:43] partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around? [07:43] eepberries, b/c parted will show everything, regardless of whether or not its mountable [07:43] some1 help me with this display issue plz! [07:43] hitman1985, shit, wait [07:43] eepberries, same thing w/gparted, the gtk parted frontend [07:43] rdw200169: well he said gparted showed the hard drive as being unallocated [07:43] hitman1985, "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/Vista" [07:43] Incarus: Switching back to gnash. [07:44] popmadness, i wouldnt do that, but you can try [07:44] rdw200169: would that be scanning for partitions that could be lost? [07:44] eepberries: scaning. [07:44] Incarus: same thing [07:44] hitman1985, k [07:44] hitman1985, just a sec [07:44] eepberries, no, go with testdisk. it can also repair screwed up partition tables [07:44] Incarus: Fail either way. [07:44] rdw200169: alright well int256's using a program called gpart right now [07:45] eepberries, int256 refer to the documentation here for help, this may do what you want: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [07:45] Incarus: do you think qemu is better than virtuabox and is kqemu for cpu capable emulation? [07:45] Hi, I am looking for an open-source app that can convert an .bin to a .iso. Does anyone know one? [07:45] there's 32bit and 64bit files, which one should I get? [07:45] eepberries, yeah, but gparted said that it was 'unallocated' that's not very useful [07:45] My laptop is T9300 [07:45] rdw200169: yeah if gpart doesn't find it (i don't know anything about this program) i'll have int256 installtestdisk [07:45] rdw200169: gpart, not gparted [07:45] i think they're different [07:46] !iso | tuntun [07:46] tuntun: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [07:46] there's 32bit and 64bit files, which one should I get? my laptop cpu is t9300 [07:46] . [07:46] b1n42y, 1. yes, 2. yes [07:46] eepberries, ah, testdisk and gpart do about the same thing... i prefer testdisk personally... (also int256 ) [07:46] hi, have a USB drive problem in Intrepid. I plugin a drive, it shows up in Nautilus ("Places" sidebar). Then I unplug the device (after unmounting it) and the icon remains in "Places". When I plug it in again, a new icon appears. Each time I plug/unplug, another icon gets added. Furthermore, the folder in "/media" doesn't always disappear on unmount, so I can't rely on a consistent filename. [07:46] eepberries: estimated time to complete scan. [07:47] int256: what is it saying so far [07:47] hitman1985, ok. know error [07:47] any help on: http://pastebin.com/m7886fa9 [07:47] I've had it since hardy & possibly even before. It was working perfectly on intrepid till recently (it's not related to updates tho -- I haven't updated since installing 3 months ago, and updating today hasn't fix it). [07:47] tuntun: bin2iso [07:47] Incarus: ta [07:47] Incarus, I have a question [07:47] SinPro, Depends :) Take a look in the ubuntu forums in the 64-bit forum, there you can read about the "problems" with 64-bit. If you use any programs that aren't available in 64-bit then go with 32, flash used to be problematic before but not anymore, I don't know if there's anything problematic now. I'm using 64. Choose whichever [07:48] eepberries: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/121705/ [07:48] Incarus: so you know the error or your asking me ? [07:48] Seveas, b1n42y, thanks. [07:48] anyone experienced this USB bug & does anyone have ideas where to start investigating? [07:48] int256: that's looking great. are those the partitions you're missing? === TIMME is now known as TIMM1337 [07:48] hey how are yall [07:48] hitman1985, hm, boot the windows cd and boot into windows and enter in terminal "fixmbr", this should work [07:48] hmmmmmmm [07:49] im getting pretty hopeless :/ [07:49] hitman1985, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/298169 [07:49] plsd, 64 is faster than 32? [07:49] ive got a real big problem ... can someone help me? [07:49] eepberries: ya, but one remaining to show [07:49] ok ;) [07:49] SinPro, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=616&num=1 [07:49] SinPro: that depends entirely on how well your apps were programmed [07:49] TIMM1337, not really. You haven't told us the problem so there's not much we can do :) [07:50] hitman1985, ok. forgett it, was wrong [07:50] hmm [07:50] int256: cool. is it finished scanning yet? [07:50] eepberries: no [07:50] hitman1985, install "testdisk" and start it [07:50] Incarus: i m running the same crakc then he is talking about but dont think this has anything to do with it :) [07:50] xD ok .. so .. i installed ubuntu on my usb stick ... but now i cant boot myhard drive if the stick isnt connectet [07:51] it always boots the grup [07:51] that booting windows and its tells me "error" [07:51] timm1337 even if pen drive is removed? [07:51] hitman1985, crack? [07:51] TIMM1337: you screwed up. how did you install it on the usb stick [07:51] no just when its removed [07:51] TIMM1337, boot from windows cd and run the fixmbr command. Then reinstall grub onto the usb stick [07:51] Incarus: activator for vista ;) i am not paying the ms cartell :) [07:52] TIMM1337, dont do this [07:52] hitman1985: please don't discuss stuff like that in here. [07:52] you installed grub on hdd while OS on pen drive timm1337 [07:52] TIMM1337, install grub on the hd [07:52] my stick works perfect [07:52] hi [07:52] hitman1985, k [07:52] 8-) [07:52] i just need to remove grub but how ^^ [07:52] TIMM1337: that isn't the problem, your computer now looks for your usb drive for booting [07:52] Incarus, that won't work if /boot/grub is on the usb stick and he wants to boot without it [07:52] ok so i have to change the boot device? [07:52] hitman1985, install, testdisk on live linux and run [07:53] Incarus: how ? all i see is a archive [07:53] TIMM1337: do you have only windows installed on your hard drive? [07:53] Seveas, ... [07:53] yes [07:53] TIMM1337 you have 2 run windows recovery console or sumthing. but even without it i think it shud b possible 2 boot windows from grub [07:53] hitman1985, terminal (in linux live cd) and "sudo apt-get install testdisk" [07:54] TIMM1337: well i dont know if it will mess up your usb linux installation or not, but doing what Seveas said will fix the windows problem [07:54] it doesnt even oopen grub cause error [07:54] Seveas, wrong, i think [07:54] Incarus, in case you don't know: grub is a 2-stage bootloader. Stage2 lives in /boot/grub and is needed for booting [07:54] Incarus: couldnt find package [07:54] is it possible to use wget for --load-cookies file along with --http-user=user --http-password=pass , and have it login to two places (one with the cookie) and the other site with the user:pass ? [07:54] Seveas, yes, he have to install it on hd [07:54] eepberries, it will make the usb dongle unbootable, hence the 'then reinstall grub onto the usb drive' thing [07:54] Incarus, no, he needs grub not to touch his hd and use bios boot order to boot from usb [07:54] so kk thanks guys for your help im coming back when i fixed the prob [07:55] thanks very much [07:55] cyq [07:55] int256: still scanning?

Try 'mount -t cifs' [08:01] it was just 8.10 server thats screwed up [08:01] * Orochium does an awesome dance [08:02] Am3ndment: anything usefull in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to start debugging your issue ? Look for lines starting with (EE) for errors .. [08:02] eepberries: all gone... i am restarting. see you soon. if any partition remains.. [08:02] Seveas, i tried both, but with the same result [08:02] is ubuntu 9.04 slated to come out April 30th. Or, is there a set date before that that it will come out on?

[08:03] glitsj16: only warning is that there is some font missing [08:03] eepberries: ok. wait [08:03] Seveas, just hanging and timing out...

[09:24] Milkeh: just set it to something else [09:24] hmm [09:24] ActionParsnip, but I want it as the default rubish bin icon :( [09:24] through the synaptic package manager [09:24] how can i write a script to ping an address regularly and when there is response execute a command? [09:24] Futurama140: its in that guide I gave you, you add a few lines to xorg.conf and it does it [09:24] after toying around with a CentOS box and learning some chops, i decided to jump on an Ubuntu thinking it was goint to be easy after learning a few things on CentOS and I have to say I find all of this ubelievably frustrating.

I am an infant to the world of Linux so you can imagine my frustration. However, I will say this, this is by far the most enegetic, eager, no question is too simple chat I have ever been in. I am beginning to see why when a few [09:34] intrepid* [09:34] Futurama140: you know that link i gave you, scroll to the bottom of the xorg.conf example, where it says Load "glx" Load "GLcore" etc, you need a section like that with Load "DRI" [09:35] what do you with mine? [09:35] vicmen: yeah ubuntu community support is fantastic in general [09:35] ActionParsnip: what do you say with my result? [09:35] bohemian_: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-173; gksudo nvidia-settings [09:35] vicmen: there's a learning curve involved. People here seem quite happy to help with any part, but its orth remembering that it's a long term thing really. [09:35] bohemian_: if you are told to run a command as root then run: sudo and restart x [09:36] Flannel, logout/login again didn't work. Tried sudo chown -R www-data /var/www; sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www; sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www [09:36] i dunno what after happening.... i have to reinstall again [09:36] ActionParsnip: just letting you know i updated from 173 to 177 as i can make it work with userful [09:36] shear: what are you trying to do [09:36] Is it possible, in a dhcp server, so define a range for dhcp .. and after a client has connected, make his ip static? Like, define 192.168.0.100-200 as dhcp range, and then make 192.168.0.120 static .. ? [09:36] was messing last night with earlier versions [09:36] yogi_: ubuntu isn't loading? [09:36] i'll get back [09:36] Actionparsnip: i dont have a section with loading, [09:36] Synaptic writes: "gnomemeeting is a dummy package to ease the transition to ekiga. You may safely remove this package and keep the ekiga package instead." What kind of 'transition' is meant here? [09:36] well, i certainly appreciate you folks here... [09:36] eepberries, i'm trying to get write permissions for my login into /var/www [09:37] bohemian_: if 177 works then cool, i just websearched and didnt se 177, only 173 and 96 === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [09:37] ActionParsnip: ok i'll try that again [09:37] bullgard4: my guess is its like "movie player" which is really totem. Same thing different namre [09:37] shear: for what account [09:37] bullgard4: gnomemeeting changed its name to ekiga. Some users might have the gnomemeeting package installed and want to upgrade it easily, or may not know about the name change, so the gnomemeeting package is a pointer to the ekiga package. [09:38] my personal login, which is a member of the www-data group [09:39] checksum was incorrect [09:39] shear→ does the www-data group have rwx rights on the the directory [09:39] shear: i think to add group access with chown, you're supposed to use : in front of the group name [09:39] ActionParsnip, rww Thank you for answering. [09:39] like chown -R www-data :/var/www [09:40] eepberries: your : is in the wrong place ;) [09:40] rww: yeah haha [09:40] i was just looking at that and thinking "wait" === T5 is now known as __T5__ [09:40] chown -R :www-data /var/www <- this is what he wants, right? [09:40] someone: could someone please walk me through this? [09:41] ActionParsnip: i was taken to NVIDIA X server settings and it says "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. " what do i do next? [09:41] eepberries: yeah, I think so [09:41] shear: did you get that? [09:42] bohemian_: like i said: sudo nvidia-xconfig [09:42] bohemian_: then restart x [09:42] eepberries: not quite [09:42] eepberries, magnetron, yeah. 'sudo chmod -R ug+rwx /var/www' Looked through history, I *had* tried it before, but for some reason it didn't work. worked now though [09:43] eepberries: chown -R some /path/to/thing [09:43] woohoo...success [09:43] and now [09:43] bed [09:43] later folks [09:43] ActionParsnip: ActionParsnip: well, shear was trying to add ownership to a group [09:44] shear→ cheers [09:44] eepberries: he could see what group owns the folder and add hiimself to that group [09:44] does does anybody know how I can reset my rubbish bin icon [09:44] eepberries: then chmod the folder to allow the group full access [09:44] i just reinstalling ubuntu... do i need to use (tick) the boot loader for a solo installation? [09:44] now we're cooking with gas, thanks guys [09:45] yogi_: what went wrong [09:45] Milkeh by emptying it [09:45] yogi_: you always need the bootloader [09:45] dont know [09:45] how do you make a group then [09:45] my fault [09:45] im at my wits end [09:45] how do i configure my video drivers to use DRI when my driver isnt listed in the help webpage? [09:45] so that everyone in that group has ftp access [09:45] yogi_: if you are new to linux you will have teething problems [09:45] i reinstall and get back to you... thanks! [09:46] Futurama140: its the same for all video drivers as they all use xorg.conf, ive already told you how to do it [09:47] Futurama140: I'll now show you exactly so you get it [09:47] Section "Module" [09:47] Load "dri" [09:47] EndSection [09:47] ActionParsnip: i ran sudo nvidia-xconfig no, message prompt. now how do i restart x? restart the entire system? sorry for too much question [09:47] Futurama140: if you'd looked at the post I gave, it was there [09:47] bohemian_: ctrl+alt+backspace [09:49] Phones output won't work while pc speakers work prop, why is that? [09:50] koshari, that did nothing [09:50] so to allow users to have ftp access to there own folders you have to make a group of users for ftp access [09:50] the webpage you gave me is about screen resolution, i searched all 3 pages and it did not say anything about DRI [09:50] i want an application only to use eth1 and not use eth0 how can i do this [09:51] or i want eth0 to be used only by for file tranfer (samba) and nothing else [09:51] Futurama140: I showed you the section it needs to be added to and how the line is worded. You could then add it yourself. Yes it dodnt say EXACTLY those things but i kinda hoped you'd work it out a little [09:51] ubd: you could pull eth0 down [09:52] ubd: sudo ifdown eth0 [09:52] what do you mean pull it down [09:52] ubd: it means the device will be there but not usable [09:52] ubd: it will be up next time you reboot [09:53] i want it to be used for file transfer? [09:53] ActionParsnip: i am now able to use twinview, thanks. now i will install userful multiplier to use multiseat and what do i need to do next to make sure i can make the multiseat work? [09:53] couple questions, 1: can network options and profile be exported and imported into other linux versions. 2: if it is indeed possible, would importing a network profile from 8.10 cause issues in 8.04? [09:53] Wille_eee: is the headphone output enabled in the mixer? [09:53] bohemian_: np bro :) [09:54] i just dont get it [09:54] ubd: have you tried asking in samba's channels? http://www.samba.org/samba/irc.html [09:55] okthanks [09:55] ubd: I think this is what you're looking for: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch03_:_Linux_Networking#How_to_Configure_Two_Gateways [09:55] Futurama140: open a terminal and run this gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:55] Futurama140: you need to make your xorg.conf file look a lot like the one in that post, with the video card config, the monitor and the screen sections [09:55] ActionParsnip: i have tried this earlier, after installing userful multiplier it won't just detect and separate screen properly. what should you think the reason for this? [09:57] eepberries» ok, there are foure diffrent mix tracks i could choose upon, i'll try it out! thanks [09:57] !dualhead [09:57] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [09:57] also the Nvidia settings only detects 1 X Screens, is that normal? [09:57] bohemian_: its not something ive ever done [09:57] i see [09:57] ubd: you won't find a more general answer than that one, because I believe it requires network structure knowledge and routing [09:57] allright savvas THANK YOU [09:57] bohemian_: but the driver you have are working so you are halfway [09:57] no problemo :P [09:57] could you tell me what exactly to type? im completely unfamiliar with the structure of whatever the file is structure [09:57] bohemian_: you could manually edit xorg.con, usually the nvidia config app does dualhead nice [09:58] ActionParsnip: yeah , thanks... i'll see if I can do it [09:58] i dont know any operator symbols or even the line end command [09:58] Futurama140: copy and paste in the terminal gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:58] ok [09:58] im in the xorg [09:58] i have been for an hour [09:59] comparing it to the one on the webpage [09:59] but i see no relevant comparisons pertaining to DRI?

[11:11] Neocicak: if you go to system -> administration -> hardware drivers, you can can enable them there [11:11] i'm getting Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) [11:11] ikonia: i did that, and still get Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) [11:11] Neocicak: if you go to system -> administration -> hardware drivers, you can can enable them there [11:12] Neocicak: what does that screen say about your drive, which one is suggested and which is marked as in use [11:12] don't know [11:12] ikonia; i'm using 180 [11:12] fyrewall-: do'nt know what ?

[11:16] hmmm [11:16] yogi_: use lspci to find out what card it is [11:16] ikonia: hm... thats strange [11:17] ikonia: well...at first i installed the driver from nvidia's website [11:17] ikonia: so i'm worried that might affect some stuffs [11:18] hi! can i reset chmod somehow? [11:19] i fooked up :P [11:19] Neocicak: ahhh yes [11:19] Neocicak: there we go [11:19] only if you know what the permissions were beforehand, newb1 [11:19] mytrix: which more easy kompozer and screem html/xml editor ??? [11:19] Neocicak: that makes sense why it's broke now [11:19] newb1: theres no such concept as a reset - what di you do? [11:19] newb1: control your language please [11:20] ikonia: hmm........ any way for me to fix it? [11:20] how would i check what version of glib i am running? [11:20] Neocicak: manually remove all references to the nvidia drivers you installed [11:20] tich: dpkg -l | grep glib [11:20] ikonia, thanks [11:20] ikonia: errr..... how do i do that.......hehehe [11:20] Neocicak: manually find the files it installed [11:20] Neocicak: they should be listed in the readme in the package you downloaded [11:21] ikonia: >.< [11:21] Neocicak: or on nvidia's support forums [11:21] ikonia: will do and get back to you [11:21] ikonia: ok... [11:21] well i changed chmod on ~/.wine/dosdevices/z:/ thought i wouldd only mess up wine if something went wrong but apparently i was very wrong =P [11:22] newb1: what chmod command did you use [11:22] command not found? [11:22] yogi_: lspci [11:22] umm well lemme check [11:22] ikonia: do you know where this readme is? [11:22] ikonia: coz its only a binary file that i downloaded.. no readme [11:23] sis 771/671 [11:23] Neocicak: when you run it it uncompresses I think [11:23] yogi_: oh dear, terrible support [11:24] should i try opensuse or something else? [11:24] any ideas? [11:24] ikonia chmod -R uo+X [11:25] ActionParsnip: thanks [11:25] sorry about the late reply [11:25] yogi_: no the card wil still have poor support [11:25] why does ubuntu's remote desktop program sucks? [11:25] so? vista? [11:25] why is it slow when both parties have broadband [11:26] newb1: it doesn't [11:26] newb1: sorry - not you [11:26] Nytrix: it doesn't [11:26] Nytrix: have you set it all up correctly [11:26] yogi_: try using the vesa xorg driver [11:26] pretty sure [11:26] qemu sucks, virtuabox is heaps faster what was ubuntu thinking [11:26] it works great when i try it on myself [11:26] the only issue is, i can't sudo apt-get upgrade because I need some special key or something. -i've attempted to add the key ID but it's still giving me the message :( [11:27] Nytrix: of course - there is no traffic to travel [11:27] Nytrix: it sounds like you have all the settings on "high" which is too much for the internet [11:27] yo yo yo [11:27] ActionParsnip: thanks for your reply before :D [11:27] ActionParsnip: and hi :D [11:28] np man [11:28] hi back [11:28] even then [11:28] ActionParsnip: only thing is I can't sudo apt-get update the repos because i'm getting no key ID errors [11:28] ActionParsnip: I tried to add the key ID, maybe I'm doing it wrong [11:28] what do you mean try use vesa driver? [11:29] as far as i know the vesa driver is already installed === sundowner is now known as dougsko [11:29] yogi_: the xorg driver called "vesa" [11:29] yogi_: yes, it's installed but probably not in use [11:29] Tyrath_: what repo are you getting key errors for? [11:29] how do i use it? [11:30] yogi_: change teh line (or add it if it's not there) in your Video device section to Driver "vesa" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:31] hi guys. looking at reconfiguring a server array, 3 reasonably big servers, i wanted to use one as a backup hub for the other 2, so they all run hardy, infact one of them serves as a vhost for 3 other hardy installs [11:31] argh, i dropped my laptop now im getting grub error 17. on the live cd i can see the hard drive, but i cant access the one with all music etc. any suggestions? I guess its a hd failure [11:31] how can i best connect to the drive space on the 3rd machine from the first 2 and the vm's on #2 [11:31] ActionParsnip: zwets.com unstable/ [11:31] thats the funnny thing... there is no specified devices in the x org [11:32] ubuntu__, spinright [11:32] its just all device configured [11:32] spinright NET||abuse? [11:32] ubuntu__, then see if it boots and mounts successfully. yes, spinright www.grc.com [11:32] ActionParsnip: also i'm getting a not found error for sarge backports for 16bit ubuntu repo [11:32] ubuntu__, pysical damage to the drive, spinright is the one to sort it. [11:33] yogi_: you have to add it if it's not there - which is what I just said [11:33] ubuntu__, ah, it's spinrite sorry [11:33] Tyrath_: may help: http://www.balluche.fr/en/?1215/apt-get-update-erreur-NO-PUBKEY [11:34] !sarge [11:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about sarge [11:34] Tyrath_: thats a debian repo, i would not install those no ubuntu [11:34] ActionParsnip: I'll have a look. thanks [11:34] !debian | Tyrath_ [11:34] Tyrath_: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [11:34] ActionParsnip: why's that? [11:34] Tyrath_, why are you using sarge repos for ubuntu??? and there is no 16 bit ubuntu [11:34] NET||abuse: is that the problem then? physical damage. I can see the drive when i boot from the live cd, but cant access it [11:34] i know what you are saying but i would be gratefull if you could guide me through it... because i have tried to edit my xorg.conf without any success! [11:34] I know what debian is though [11:35] well I know that it's atleast similar to ubuntu with the apt tool [11:35] Tyrath_: ubuntu != debian [11:35] infact ubuntu got its apt tool with a few mods [11:35] ActionParsnip: nah what i meant is that its like ubuntu in that it uses the apt tool [11:35] yogi_: what is there to guide ? [11:35] Tyrath_: i seriously wouldnt mix them up its gonna cause a whole tonne of pain [11:36] Tyrath_: win xp uses directx but is nothing like windows 98 [11:36] ActionParsnip: the thing is I struggle to find ubuntu support for a lot of problems [11:36] yogi_: you have in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf a "Section Device" [11:36] ubuntu__, if you dropped it, likely,, spinrite is the best bet, but dropping can be pretty catastrphic to a drive, so I wouldn't bet on success overall. [11:36] Tyrath_: then use debian rather than ubuntu [11:36] yogi_: in that section add Driver "vesa" [11:36] Tyrath_: ubuntu is not for everyone [11:36] ubuntu__, the drop could damage the read head motors and then there's just nothing you can do. [11:36] !kde4 [11:36] kde4 is KDE 4.1.3 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1.3 | 4.2 packages http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 | Support in #kubuntu [11:36] ActionParsnip: really can't be bothered [11:36] NET||abuse: Im not bothered about anything but the music on there. Is there no way to access that information? [11:36] hi guys, I changed my hostname last night and now I can't use samba to browse files- it won't let me log in with the dns name, but if I use the IP of the server it's fine [11:36] any ideas? [11:36] Tyrath_: if you wanna in stall debian debs then go for it but ive warned you [11:36] ok i give it another go... thanks. [11:37] ActionParsnip: I have everything configured the way I like it with ubuntu [11:37] ubuntu__, if you have another big drive, you could try dd copy the whole drive bit by bit [11:37] ActionParsnip: I had to for QTStalker - a share application [11:37] ubuntu__, do a little reading on dd backup [11:37] ActionParsnip: basically it graphs stocks etc. [11:37] NET||abuse: I have an external hard drive [11:37] ActionParsnip: I think that was it anyhow [11:37] ActionParsnip: oh wait [11:37] ActionParsnip: no, you mean backports [11:37] Tyrath_: if its open source you can compile source, make a deb and install it [11:38] ActionParsnip: so what would the harm be with backports? [11:38] ActionParsnip: nah, it doesn't work as a deb [11:38] Tyrath_: who knows, debian debs are made debian, ubuntu debs are made for ubuntu [11:38] ok, i would say try dd copy, see what is recovered to the external drive, then try a repair on the old drive, or spinrite it and see if it recovers.. though i would ultimately replace that drive, it's taken a knock so it's not going to be reliable. [11:38] ActionParsnip: seriously, I've tried source, I've tried the deb tool, etc. I get the program running but the stocks aren't grabbed so its useless [11:39] hello, i know that there is an application under ubuntu which can take a text and analyse it telling me how many verbs, how many nouns, and the structures of the language involved, but i forgot what tool that is, can somebody help? [11:39] Anarhist, lex [11:39] ActionParsnip: the only way I managed to get it installed was to add it to the repos [11:39] ActionParsnip: I'm not sure if that's what zwets.com is or not [11:39] ActionParsnip: I'll take a look at my sources.lst file and find out [11:39] NET||abuse: was considering buying a new one anyway. Ill read up on dd backup cheers [11:40] Anarhist, but thats a coding language... you can use it to code the thing you want to achieve [11:41] ActionParsnip: ok, according to the sources.list file the wine repository is there [11:41] ActionParsnip: just when I try sudo apt-get install winetools it won't install [11:41] Tyrath_: cool, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install wine [11:42] ActionParsnip: already got wine [11:42] ActionParsnip: I need winetools to install WMP [11:42] ActionParsnip: I need WMP because there's a site with training clips I can't view without it [11:43] Tyrath_: i have the official wine repo in my sources and i don't have an entry for wine tools [11:43] ActionParsnip: and I'm not even sure if wine pipes video script into WMP or not [11:43] Tyrath_: wow really, WMP, weird [11:43] ActionParsnip: yah I get this message: This video requires Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player to run [11:44] how do i use/install compiz? [11:44] ActionParsnip: btw, getting rid of sarge backports for deb fixed the sudo apt-get upgrade issue. thanks [11:44] !ccsm | Nytrix [11:44] Nytrix: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [11:44] ActionParsnip: I still get the silly error about zwets - maybe they've taken the repo offline :/ [11:45] Tyrath_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=149585 how to setup winetools [11:45] * Tyrath_ recommends metacity unless you have an awesome processor and don't mind compiz conflicting with ever other program on your pc [11:45] xxxxxxxxxxx [11:46] q [11:46] !uuid [11:46] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [11:48] ActionParsnip: if there was a way around not having to install WMP I would definately go for it [11:49] hey all...wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to get yahoo voice working in ubuntu? [11:49] ActionParsnip: I would also love to get rid of gxine and just stick with mplayer but I don't know how to get dvds to play on mplayer or if the quality is even that good [11:49] Tyrath_: well why do you use it?

[11:51] Tyrath_: true, so choose one and stick with it [11:51] subodh: uninstaller [11:52] ActionParsnip: well definately stick with mplayer because it works for everything but dvds for me. gxine only seems to work well for dvds and poor for everything else [11:52] so how do i setup a volume on one server to be mounted or connected to by 3 other servers? They're all hardy. nfs? samba? ssh? [11:52] Tyrath_: what happens if you try to play a dvd in mplayer? [11:52] ActionParsnip: the reason I kept gxine is cause it was taking me ages to figure out how to get the dvd codecs for mplayer actually allowing me to play dvd files [11:53] NET||abuse: all will work fine [11:53] ActionParsnip, awww :P [11:53] Tyrath_: http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2006-August/062257.html [11:53] ActionParsnip, I was hoping for guidance, here's the nicest way to do it :) [11:53] NET||abuse: samba will play nicer with windows [11:53] sudo apt-get uninstaller photoshop 7.0 [11:53] NET||abuse: no such thing as nicest [11:53] subodh: no, i never said that [11:53] ActionParsnip, screw windows, there is exactly 10 of us on linux, and 1 windows machine, [11:53] this comand ok ? [11:53] Tyrath_: you shouldn't need anything special. Just libdvdcss2 that everything else needs [11:53] subodh: the command is simply: uninstaller [11:54] ActionParsnip: I could have a crack at it if you like. fortunately in one respect, gxine is the default vid player which means dvds automatically play through it. i have no idea how to change that, that preference application thing in the system menu won't let me [11:54] hey all...wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to get yahoo voice working in ubuntu? [11:54] plz give full comand [11:54] mylisto: theres gyache [11:54] jrib: I just searched for that and it's apparently already installed [11:54] subodh: uninstaller [11:55] mylisto I've also been looking for a solution on voice calls. anyone?

[12:04] jrib: so there's no way I can watch the entire film without having to go through each part one by one? [12:04] there is not really much in the xorg.conf [12:04] is there a reason to go through the maintenance of compiling bacula myself? [12:04] jrib: cause i was running mplayer dvd://media/cdrom0 [12:04] section = device [12:04] jrib: not sure if that's the way you're supposed to do it [12:04] Intrepid is also only on 2.4.2, so still even a little behind.

[12:07] jrib: so is there no way to set mplayer up so it plays dvds like they would be played on a dvd player? [12:08] jrib: because if there's not i'm going to hang on to gxine [12:08] Tyrath_: did you try dvdnav...? [12:08] jrib: i'll try it now [12:08] silv3r_m001: no, it just removes libs and fluff you no longer need [12:08] jrib: it didn't do anything [12:08] Tyrath_: pastebin [12:08] ikonia: you still around? [12:08] silv3r_m001: example: install firefox and you get xul-runner. if you uninstall firefox, xul-runner will just sit there and is essentially pointless and can be removed [12:09] silv3r_m001: autoremove will see this and remove it [12:09] tried vesa without any luck with the sis card [12:09] hmm [12:09] jrib: http://pastebin.com/f470933dc [12:09] ActionParsnip: I want to remove every package related to compiz [12:09] how can I do that [12:09] Tyrath_: well include the command you ran [12:09] I remove a package called compiz but there are many [12:10] silv3r_m001: sudo apt-get --purge remove compiz*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [12:10] jrib: mplayer dvdnav:// [12:10] jrib: oh wait [12:10] ActionParsnip: but a package might be there which is related to compiz but not starting with the name compiz [12:10] jrib: i'll add the path [12:10] then what [12:10] now it tells me its running in low graphics mode [12:10] Tyrath_: you don't need any path. You might need to do "dvdnav://1" though [12:11] silv3r_m001: thats what the autoremove is for, once you remove the compiz ones the others will be removed with autoremove [12:11] jrib: still no luck [12:11] ActionParsnip: let me try [12:11] Tyrath_: what happens? [12:12] ActionParsnip: but that command has selected fortran77-compiler for removal too [12:12] now how is that related to compiz [12:12] ?

You can change defaults for DVDs in nautilus preferences by the way [12:13] ActionParsnip: nothing came [12:13] silv3r_m001: read the output then: sudo apt-get --purge remove ; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [12:13] I try pdfedit and it keeps crashing [12:13] silv3r_m001: then its not installed or has another name [12:13] ActionParsnip: I executed the command to remove [12:13] silv3r_m001: apt-cache search fortran [12:13] it selected many packages [12:13] 1 of which was fortran [12:13] I want to know why was it selected during the removal process [12:14] jrib: is vlc quick to load. or do I have to wait about a minute like with gxine? [12:14] can you help me? im trying to boot from the ubuntu cd, but i get the console and when i type startx i get no screens found [12:14] my clock isn't updating the time. how do I fix that?

[12:50] <[Steffy]> I'm having an issue with a process that never before existed that started showing up on startup a few days ago. Shows up as "sh -c" in htop and takes arguments from lsb_release and apt-cache. The process takes up ALL processor power and a lot of RAM. Any ideas? [12:50] robertc1985: there is a wine version for running command line programs.. [12:50] I don't understand what you say [12:50] robertc1985: to run installers and whatnot [12:50] robertc1985: did you install wine already? [12:50] like msdos progs too? [12:51] george_: ask your question the room will answer [12:51] yeah [12:51] robertc1985: yes.. wineconsole is it's name [12:51] yeah but i',m on hardy [12:51] robertc1985: wine /path/to/app.exe [12:51] Does anyone no why the wine says (null) when I'm trying to open a windows app? [12:51] ActionParsnip: well actually it did give me an error message, but I have no idea what to do about it cause i looked it up on google but got no hits [12:52] robertc1985: run "sudo apt-get install wine" first to install it [12:52] Tyrath_: some apps you have to have your terminal in the same dir as the exe you are launching [12:52] george_: check the application database.. see if it's a known problem [12:52] !appdb | george_ [12:52] george_: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [12:52] Tyrath_: can you pastebin the error in full inclusing the command to create it [12:52] ActionParsnip: I'll try that [12:52] !paste | Tyrath_ [12:52] Tyrath_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[12:55] george_: WLinstaller is windows messenger is it not? which does not run in Wine. Use !Pidgin instead [12:55] right but i cant figure out how to change the DNS server in network manager [12:55] hateball: the live one doesnt but the normal one can [12:56] phantomcircuit: just edit the simple text file, network manager isnt hugely needed [12:56] like i alreayd said [12:56] it over writes it when it connects [12:56] phantomcircuit: then make it read only ;) [12:56] ActionParsnip: basically when I log in on PalTalkScene an add pops up. The moment the add pops up that exception is thrown and the program freezes [12:57] phantomcircuit: check the file /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf, you can use the "prepend" keyword.. see man dhclient for more info about it [12:58] well...it uses emoticons and pics...ok thnx hateball [12:58] yo [12:58] hi! i'm compiling twinkle and got this error: configure: error: Set $QTDIR to the Qt directory, eg. /usr/lib/qt3where should i change this? i'm using ubuntu 8 hardy [12:58] george_: amsn and emesene have added functionality, compared to Pidgin, feel free to try then [12:59] ActionParsnip: but it's deeper than that. if the add doesn't load - for example will paltalk extreme, the chat rooms don't load up properly [12:59] !pm | george_ [12:59] george_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

[13:05] Pici: oh ok, thanks [13:05] fancy somebody else asking a question I'm interested in at the same time. Thanks :-) [13:05] george_: tune up is a windows app and wont work on linux [13:06] even with wine? [13:06] george_: well it may run but whats it going to tune up? [13:06] george_: wine isnt windows, its an abstraction layer to change windows calls to linux system calls [13:06] is there a command that just simply raises an alert window with a message? [13:06] jrib: thanks :) [13:07] tobago: yes.. zenity I think is one [13:07] george_: so tune up will do nothing [13:07] well...ok is there any other up doing about the same things like tune up utilities? is there any app to run mac apps in linux? [13:08] I mean apps who are designed for linux [13:08] george_: if you websearch for: speed up ubuntu you will find a tonne of guiides [13:08] ActionParsnip: well IES4linux won't work for me [13:08] george_: some can be risky if you take them too far (hdparm is a good example) but most are fairly simple [13:09] ActionParsnip: basically it opens the browser, but I can't surf the net so its useless [13:09] Tyrath_: ive never had any luck with it [13:10] dose any one know on how to use curl and download a directory for example i am trying to download a directory in this location /~/files/ [13:10] i really thank you guys [13:10] thnx a lot [13:10] tobago: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2460 [13:10] anyone from greece?

[13:24] daddyjunebug: it's called dual booting then... install windows first, then ubuntu.. you'll get a menu when you boot up [13:25] daddyjunebug, best way to do that, is to partition your hard drive into two partitions, install windows first on one of the partitions, then install ubuntu on the second partition, since you install ubuntu second it will automatically be your default OS because grub will be installed and overwrite the windows bootloader, but you should still ahve the option to boot to windows (install ubuntu on the livecd) [13:25] daddyjunebug: vm = virtual machine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine [13:25] <[empire]> I run vmware and have ubuntu on it, its great [13:25] <[empire]> daddyjunebug: vmware server is free === mehteenager is now known as MrObvious [13:26] ok thank you all for your help [13:26] empire, I use Sun's xVM Virtualbox ... it is great to get ubuntu running "inside" Win XP [13:26] [empire]: yes, but don't you need to register somewhere?

It's working now, right`? [14:21] i have read the documentation on the site [14:21] followed the instructions, but no go [14:21] any idea? [14:21] Asger: yes thats exactly it [14:21] Asger: Like that. ActionParsnip explained it well, or good. [14:22] mick02: well, that's not easy. It would be (little?) more so if the nmap only scanned ports 515 and maybe(?) 9100 [14:22] Asger: makes my name highlight so is easier to see in the 1400 users in here [14:22] oCean_, that problem of using the lines above or below is that the output can be different for every host on the network [14:22] mick02: indeed :/ [14:22] Asger: you can tab compete in terminal too and eventualy you'll be trying to tab complete everywhere :) [14:22] remoteCTRL, can't I enable it again? [14:23] oCean_, I'll try scanning for just those ports, I guess that will work, I was just hoping that I could scan every host/port avail to make sure I don't miss out on any machines [14:23] ActionParsnip, hehe [14:23] Schuenemann: doesnt seem to me, anyways i gotta run for the bus, sry m8 [14:24] mick02: It's too bad the output varies so much. === Artsemis is now known as Artsemis_ [14:24] 1 more question: in firefox, when i want to go back to the previous page, in windows i used to be able to use backspace.

[14:25] mick02: well, maybe it's possible to scan "per-host". Meaning to run nmap through a loop (for each host in iprange) and output only if port 515 is 'interesting' (e.g. listens) [14:26] how i can change my pass of my nick? [14:26] oCean_, that's handy enough with the -p switch in nmap i.e. nmap 192.168.1.1-254 -p515 [14:26] Asger: alt + left works in both [14:27] !ot | Wimpog [14:27] Wimpog: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

I just installed ubuntu yesterday so i have a lot to learn still [14:30] Is there anyone eho can help me with why this script (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo#Automatic%20WLAN%20Picker%20Script) stops at "while read glob scheme"?

[14:35] is anyone running Football manager 2009 succesfully? in that case i'd like to know how u did it? [14:35] ActionParsnip, will this only give the lines that have the word LaserJet in them? I was doing a sudo nmap -O 192.168.1.1-254 | grep LaserJet > Printers.txt but that was only giving me the list of all the lines with LaserJet in them it didn't give me the IP address of each printer [14:36] !appdb | Asger [14:36] Asger: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [14:36] mick02: only way I can think of right now, is two-step.

[14:39] mick02: grep A | grep B [14:39] mick02, use the "and" clause [14:39] mick02: then sudo nmap -O 192.168.1.1-254 | grep Interesting should do you [14:40] why when i play flash games through firefox, games are play very slow? === chrisred is now known as __chris [14:40] Slart: it cold be somthing like sype were you can see online status, but also you can make favarites and connet to online computer [14:40] jrib, isnt that "or" ? i guess he needs "and" [14:40] psixolog: are you on 64bit linux or 32bit? [14:40] 32 [14:40] arvind_khadri: no, he's piping one grep into another [14:40] tryin to load ATI drivers and it says x server not found and aborts what should i do?

[14:41] Rencx: mm.. it sounds useful.. but I don't know of any app that does that [14:41] jrib can I use both the greps in one after another, if I do will I just be passing a result like http://pastebin.com/f78b93446 [14:41] psixolog: try: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-nonfree [14:41] to the second grep?

[15:15] out of curiousity i have noticed that in intrepid that while using apt-get its possible to tab complete names of packages, is that part of apt-get or is that a script that runs in the background at runtime because i dont recall having that ability a long tie ago. since it works in zsh as wel as bash, i can only assume that it is a feature of apt-get [15:15] Jufis: you can then: sudo mkdir /media/maxtor; sudo mount /dev/ /media/maxtor [15:15] I keep running into problems with ekiga [15:16] how i can change my pass? === shadeslayer is now known as shadeslayer_cybo === shadeslayer_cybo is now known as shadycyborg [15:16] letalis: it's provided by the bash-completion package, you can tab complete all kinds of sstuff ;) [15:17] wich is the package name of glib ?

[15:20] my problem has resolved thanx [15:21] I'm trying to debug a Java garbage collection issue (its running on Linux). In my logs I have a collection as follows: Times: user=0.33 sys=0.00, real=10.58 secs. What are the reasons it might only take 0.33 user time, but over 10 seconds in real time? [15:21] does anyone here has got a Dell Inspiron 1545 running Ubuntu? I want to buy one and I want to make sure everything will run smoothly. [15:21] letalis: not sure why as I've never used zsh, it's sourced in /etc/bash.bashrc or~/.bashrc too, odd [15:21] sujr: ohphone should do conference, but it's H323 not SIP [15:22] jtaji: zsh is the shell for the ultra lazy ;) [15:22] sanity, it could be IO issues. Maybe you are waiting for disk operations to finish ? [15:22] ahh, got it to work. I just mounted it back to my windows machine and hit the "safely remove" button and then plugged it back into ubuntu. Seems like ubuntu doesn't like if the drive has been removed without "safely remove harddrive" thing. [15:23] incubii: the Java garbage collector shouldn't touch the disk - unless its swapping. would that explain it? [15:23] incubii: I mean, could swapping explain a 9 second delay? [15:23] sanity, if it were swapping then it would be an IO issues [15:23] sujr, does it support pc to pc calls? [15:23] sanity, you could try re-installing java? [15:23] anyone , how to change boot sequence in atom based lenovo u8? [15:24] incubii: um, why would that help? [15:24] any one knows bout a good joomla channel [15:24] sujr: sujr is yourself, i'm ljl :P anyway yes, sure [15:24] Paul_: tried, say, #joomla? [15:24] ya === abuchanan is now known as ne2k__ [15:24] :( bad spelling [15:24] sanity, well maybe the install is corrupt? does it perform slowly across the board? [15:24] is there a "task manager" in ubuntu, where I can see all running applications and close them if necessary? [15:24] thanks [15:25] incubii: no, I don't think that is the problem [15:25] Hi, I have a line in my fstab for an SSHFS-mount, and when nautilus is run as root, it shows the server under "places" (when mounted and unmounted), but not when running nautilus as a normal user (it just shows it if it's mounted). How can I fix? [15:25] boot_loop, it is under Administration tools, System Monitor [15:25] LjL, so sorry, bit confused here. i hope it can have a pc-to-pc calls with cli feature [15:25] sujr: CLI as in "command line interface", or CLI as in "called ID"? [15:25] can anyone point me to a good resource on understanding swap, resident, terminology like that, especially as it relates to the output of the 'top' command? [15:26] LjL, command line interface. does it? [15:26] incubii: thank you [15:26] sujr: yes, i specifically picked one that was CLI-only, as you requested. with GUI, there are a couple other possibilities [15:26] boot_loop, if you want to see all options make sure you select that under View menu [15:26] processes* [15:27] hello [15:27] how can i install flash on hardy 64bit? [15:27] LjL, well, i'll check it. hope it will solve my problem. thanks [15:27] I have a question, I don't have a cdrom, so, I should install the Ubuntu8.10 by using USB. How can I do that? [15:27] can somebody tell what is this [15:27] http://pastebin.com/m1c261150 [15:28] sanity: i don't know of a resource, i can tell you roughly (but i might be wrong too) that "VIRT" is what the process has allocated in total, "RES" is what is actually in RAM, "SHR" is what was allocated as shared memory with other programs [15:28] !usb | SinPro [15:28] SinPro: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [15:28] Are there any settings I can tweak to make my wireless connection more stable? [15:28] mrga_cro, thats a syntax error in the code of the binary program your attempting to run [15:29] LjL: thanks. so doesn't top tell you whether any of a processes' data is swapped out to disk? [15:29] can't be [15:29] mrga_cro, why not? [15:30] sanity: not by default i don't think, but there should be an option === esay is now known as esay_uzakta [15:30] LjL: ok, will check - thanks [15:31] because on trolltech site i have downloaded 2 binary packages and i have same problem with both of them [15:31] this is going to sound like an odd question but does anyone know a decent audio oscillator for ubuntu to output square waves? [15:31] sanity: actually, it seems it does, because the manpage actually says that VIRT = SWAP + RES, so the swapped-out portion should simply be VIRT-RES (i thought VIRT also included allocated-but-as-yet-unused pages) [15:31] sanity: search for "swapped size" in the manpage [15:31] LjL: ah, ok [15:31] guys how can i benchmark my pc preformance , === esay_uzakta is now known as esay [15:31] mrga_cro, all i know is that error message is reporting an unexpected charcter in the code -- sorry, cant help much more then that [15:32] !benchmark [15:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about benchmark [15:32] gfather, apt-get install hardinfo :) [15:32] i think the graphic drivers or something not working right [15:32] fgjfgy [15:32] ii+ [15:32] acidx will this help me know what wronge with my pc :) [15:32] uuu09 [15:32] ok i'll search for an answer:D [15:32] gfather, there's no graphic benchmark in hardinfo yet. [15:32] How do i install flash for hardy 64 bit? [15:32] LjL: hmm, well - just now in my process VIRT is 7843m, and RES is 2.1g - could that mean most of my app is swapped out? I'm not sure why it would do that when apparently there is 5g free memory [15:33] acidx how can i know i working like it should [15:33] sanity: no that doesn't make sense to me, i thought VIRT should always be bigger than RES. i need to look better [15:33] this is going to sound like an odd question but does anyone know a decent audio oscillator for ubuntu to output square waves? [15:33] LjL: well, VIRT is bigger than RES in this case [15:34] acidx how about interactivity benchmark [15:34] gfather, what's happening? [15:34] sanity: err... yes of course it is. i read the numbers wrong :> [15:34] Kingsy101, what frequency? [15:34] a2z, what's this? [15:34] sanity: so yes, it *should* mean that most of your app is swapped out, at least according to the manpage [15:34] dougl - pretty low, a change in wave every couple of seconds [15:34] acidx it lags sometime [15:34] if i want to check the interactivity of the system [15:34] sanity: but i still suspect somehow that VIRT might also include things that aren't really swapped out, but are simply allocated-and-as-of-yet-unused [15:34] How do i install flash for hardy 64 bit? [15:34] LjL: that doesn't make a lot of sense - why would it swap out over half my app when it has so much free space? [15:34] LjL: right [15:34] like i know it should work very good , but the feel of something wronge [15:35] LjL: is there a better command than top for investigating per-process memory/swap usage? [15:35] sanity: mind, the manpage doesn't say that, but looking at my own process table, i do suspect that's the case [15:35] Kingsy101 - i dont know a fitting linux software for that, but you can get FruityLoops and run it it wine, it has some synthies that might do what you want (v3.x runs in wine, higher versions, i dont know) [15:35] gfather, are you using something that uses heavy I/O (like file copying between two disks, heavy networking, etc)? [15:35] dow anyone know a bejewled game for my mother ? [15:35] acidx and how do i start hardinfo [15:35] sanity: "top" should give you all sort of information if you pass it the right parameters - look at the manpage, there's plenty... "ps" should also do [15:35] acidx no [15:36] gfather, it should be in Applications -> System Tools -> System Profiler and Benchmark [15:36] dow anyone know a bejewled game for my mother ? plz [15:36] bertolo, popcap [15:36] ty´ [15:36] hmw - I have never installed/ran wine b4 [15:36] hmw - can I pm you? [15:36] acidx not there [15:36] a2z: what kind of interactivity? [15:36] gfather, have you installed it? [15:36] yes [15:37] Kingsy101 - for FruityLoops its just a normal wine install... PM me [15:37] gfather, try System -> Preferences instead [15:37] hi guys, i've installed merb (sudo gem install merb) on ubuntu hardy 8.0.4 but when i try to run merb it says -bash: merb: command not found [15:37] when i do gem list --local i actually got merb installed as gem in /usr/local/ruby-enterprise/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems [15:37] acidx not there [15:38] gfather, Alt+F2; then run hardinfo. [15:38] dow anyone know a bejewled free and beatiful game for my mother ? plz [15:38] LjL, is ohphone intended only for lan? or it can cross the internet? thanks [15:38] yortz, maybe you need to specify ruby first [15:38] sujr: it can cross the internet, although H323 typically has a few problems with NAT firewalls [15:38] no problem if u use hamachi [15:39] mmm in which sense? [15:39] acidx worked [15:39] emule it wine! [15:39] LjL, ok thanks again. [15:39] sujr: a SIP client can probably do a better job of dealing with NAT, but right now i can't find a command-line SIP client that supports three-way calls... [15:39] is there a way to tell Linux not to swap out any of a process'es memory? [15:39] sanity: kind of [15:39] sanity: you can set swappiness to 0, then it will never swap out anything unless it absolutely needs to [15:40] sanity: i don't know if you can do that per-process [15:40] mmm in which sense? [15:40] any Bejewled game type in linux for my mother's birthday ? [15:40] bertolo, why not play online? [15:40] ruby is installed and rails as well, i think that could be a problem with my PATH?

Quick question: Anyone have a suggestion for how to allow users to install updates without letting them have administrative rights? [15:56] LjL, yeah. giving a user the permission to shutdown a computer in linux is not all that easy. windows security is a little bit easier that way [15:56] but i love the simplicity [15:57] sudo is a great tool though [15:57] any one know a decent joomla channel ? [15:58] nasso: well Windows security is much more complicated though, although the GUI tools may sometimes make it simpler to actually use... roughly, you could say that when you enable ACLs on Linux you get something quite similar to the Windows scheme [15:58] emhs: no [15:58] Paul_, #joomla [15:58] a decent one a2z [15:58] guys how can i know i have the right drivers and everything work fine ?

My mistake. Misread the link. [16:06] Do i have to download first and put on a usb stick or something? [16:06] yeah [16:06] Banjo_: Exactly. [16:06] Banjo_: usb and transfer [16:06] just visit that link in a browser and it should start the download [16:06] ^^ exactly [16:06] Ok thanks, ill try that now and let you know it if worked and say thankyou again :) [16:06] LjL, are you an linux security expert? im working on a fun project in school that involves alot of linux security [16:07] want to download the live cd 8:10 .. will that run on a mac [16:07] brb then, cheers guys. [16:07] guys..anyone that could help me start up compiz on my laptop? [16:07] Zak28: did you make any special modifications to the X configuration when you dual screened it? [16:08] LjL: D'you have any ideas about configuring an installation of Intrepid Desktop to allow users to update without giving them admin rights? [16:08] hi [16:08] !hi | DonnieDarko [16:08] DonnieDarko: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [16:09] letalis: no that i know of..glxinfo show direct rending on btw [16:09] emhs: that would be a bad idea in general because if they decided to turn the machine off during an update it could majorly break stuff === IVBela1 is now known as IVBela [16:09] pastebin the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:09] then post the link Zak28 [16:09] LjL, i had this error when i try to call: Could not open sound device Default - Check permissions or full duplex capability. but on kde System Settings->System Sound->Hardware it was checked. [16:10] letalis: True. I just have more faith in her ability to remember to wait for updates to finish before turning the machine off than I do in her ability to have more serious admin rights without breaking the machine. [16:10] letalis: where should i upload my xorg? [16:10] want to download the live cd 8:10 will that run on a mac [16:10] !pastebin | Zak28 [16:10] Zak28: 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) [16:11] my mic doesnt detect sound in ubuntu 8.10. how can i fix it? [16:11] letalis: She's more a customer than a friend, and I'm kinda hoping to not have to drop by once in a while to install updates for her. [16:11] emhs: you can simply add her login to the sudoers file, with a limited set of permitted programs to run. just ensure that none of those programs can spawn a shell :-) [16:11] oh thx guys :) im on it [16:11] emhs: i see. there may be a way to setup those rights from the gconf configuration [16:11] LjL, i'm using ubuntu 8 hardy [16:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/121922/ [16:13] theres my xorg [16:14] taking a look now Zak28 [16:14] letalis: ok... [16:14] letalis: D'you know how to edit the items in the "User Privileges" tab? [16:15] did u change something in my Xorg Letalis? [16:16] well if it worked before the dual screen setup and doesnt now, it has added a line for the virtual screen resulution at line 30, if you can comment that out and compiz works after that there thats where the research needs to start, why compiz has issues on the 965 in dual screen mode [16:17] i have installed ubuntu 8.10 desktop i386, and have installed hardware drivers and done sudo apt-get update & upgrade, im behind a router. am i some what secure or should i look into software for more protection? [16:17] if you comment it out and you stil have compiz blowing chunks then t may go a lot deeper than a resolution change [16:17] letalis: ye it worked great before dual screen...so i need to put # before on line 30? [16:17] i assume that sudo apt-get update/upgrade will upgrade my firefox and not only ubuntu. [16:17] i know that this acer laptop has issues with compiz and full screen programs that take advantage of the hardware, i believe this one has a GM4500 in it. [16:18] ah ok this laptop is a Hp550 btw [16:18] kristian, you should be fine and update/upgrade will update all packages ont eh system [16:18] Zak28: as far as commenting, yeah at line 30 just put a # before that line [16:18] Letalis: shall i put # on line 30?? [16:18] thx i try guess it needs a reboot after [16:19] RyanMc_ : alright, thanks. :-) [16:19] Anyone know how to add entries to the "User Privileges" tab of the User Properties window in Intrepid? [16:19] please how can I protect my cd from copying [16:19] make sure its not on the section or endsecition parts, X dislikes having a beggining and no end or vice versa, but its perfectly okay to have nothing between the beginning and the end [16:19] :P [16:20] gnomez: is it an RW? [16:20] letalis: i post changes ok take a look on it.. [16:20] Zak28: okay [16:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/121926/ [16:22] Zak28: perfect. reboot the x server and then type compiz --replace in a terminal and see what happens [16:22] letalis: allright i will..brb :) === shadycyborg is now known as shadeslayer [16:22] once your logged into X again that is === arcad3 is now known as costel [16:24] on my system /usr/local/include is no longer a directory, how can i restore it ? kubuntu 8.10 [16:25] Ive made a testconfig /etc/samba/smb.conf.test, how to I copy the contents over the current /etc/samba/smb.conf ? [16:26] back [16:27] compiz works like a charm..however my resolution is sqrewd up [16:30] how do i change the default keyring password? [16:30] where do laptop keyboards show up, when running some sort of list command. IE, my usb keyboard shows up under lsusb, with 2 entries. Where do laptop keyboards show up? lspci? lspcmcia? [16:31] u there Letalis? [16:31] when i installed ubuntu 8.10 desktop onto my 1-year old laptop it took much longer than when i installed it onto my almost 7-year old stationary. can anyone offer an explanation? [16:32] Hello. When Ubuntu mounts items like CDs, they typically mount on the left of the desktop. How can I get them to mount on the right? [16:32] kristian1: slower harddrive? slower cpu? less ram? any of the above breaking down? [16:32] hi [16:33] why when I scp,i got this error : error: unexpected filename: .. [16:33] hi guys, in need of an mp3 and mp4 renamer, a software able to rename LOTS of files (tags included) according to certain parameters, at the same time, could u suggest some? the ones that ive found dont work for mp4 and dont have many parameters to choose among, plus it seems they dont work well with LOTS of files, any suggestions? thanks [16:33] need help to fix compiz on dual screens on my laptop... [16:33] Hey, does anyone use ManDVD? [16:34] rhinoceros, they can't mount to the left if there are icons there, by default this is the case for many oses desktop - just for the simple reason that desktop items are aligned to the left - and would want to do so? [16:34] danbhfive_jaunty : all better on laptop, however when i installed ubuntu i made a partition using the maximum of hdd. so i got some note about making some free hdd, not sure what the note ment since im not too technical. ;-) [16:35] lo all, does anyone know what package in ubuntu will make an apache server render a PHTML file correctly ? [16:35] kristian1: how much ram you got? [16:35] lamba, depends on what a 'phtml' file is. It could be php with a weird extension, or some other language [16:36] its from the default index page of a nagios installation. [16:36] danbhfive_jaunty : laptop = 2gb and old stationary = 512mb [16:36] zer0o: What programmes have you tried? I think EasyTag works with mp4. [16:36] lamba, nagios 2 or 3? [16:36] last time (on desktop ubuntu) i didnt have this problem. now, using server version of hardy, i get firefox saying it cant open a phtml file, so im assuming the apache isnt rendering it correctly due to missing a plugin ? [16:36] 3 [16:37] How cpu % does firefox consume when watching youtube videos? I get like 70%... is that normal? [16:37] maybe ask in #nagios if noone in here knows. I only used nagios 1 and 2 so far, which are both cgi based [16:37] hi peeps [16:37] mercutio22, yes. Flash is an evil cpu hogging thing [16:38] where can I get alist of sources for my inpterd 8.10 ubuntu ? [16:38] bbelt16ag: what kind of sources? the default ones? [16:38] BOZG: pretty much all the softwares that ive foung in the repos but, e.g.: ivegot 100 mp3s by the same artist, have to put same "artist name" to all of em, eventually remove the "_" symbols etc, capitalize letters etc etc, got me? [16:38] bbelt16ag, /etc/apt/sources.list :-) [16:38] kristian1: yeah, I dunno. [16:38] I think there wrong.. I am seeing backoprts in them now [16:38] I think they are wrong... [16:38] I think it install backports of kde4... just now [16:38] bbelt16ag, then you enabled that :) [16:39] I'll pstebin you can compare it [16:39] lamba, add this AddType application/x-httpd-php .php in your apache configuration file [16:39] bbelt16ag: the default list is at /usr/share/ubuntu-docs/ubuntu/sample/sources.list [16:39] Matic roger. [16:39] danbhfive_jaunty : alright thanks though :-) [16:39] k [16:40] zer0o: Have you tried EasyTag? I've generally found that it's pretty good for mass renaming. I normally use it after I've gotten a discography. [16:40] bbelt16ag: you can remove your current list and replace it: sudo cp /usr/share/ubuntu-docs/ubuntu/sample/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list; sudo apt-get update [16:40] Matic, lamba has .phtml files, not .php. And I'd be *really* surprised if nagios suddenly is php :) [16:41] worked though :) i used xhttpd-php .php .phtml :) [16:41] hmm I seenow [16:42] do I need backports enabled for anything? [16:42] Hi, i have a problem with X on my bosses computer. X worked yesterday and he said he might have downloaded some new nvidia-packages. Now X wont start at all no matter if we manually set the Driver to vesa or whatever. i've tried with dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and that doesn't work neither. I get the error "no screens found" [16:42] lamba, hmm. so nagios3 is php? [16:42] everything current in interpid should work [16:42] Anyone got a suggestion please? [16:42] bbelt16ag: in intrepid? not unless something's not working as expected [16:42] OK [16:42] gonna go update.. [16:43] Seveas apparently so. [16:43] mmmm [16:43] noting updated . [16:43] lamba, exactly [16:43] DavidVWallin - you might use the term "--purge" in a google search on how to remove the drivers [16:44] hmw: purge in which contex? apt-get or? [16:44] DavidVWallin yea [16:44] lamba, AddType application/x-httpd-php .php(sorry I meant here .phtml) [16:44] hmw: the problem is that i dont know exactly which packages it was and he doesn't know either [16:45] DavidVWallin i dont know either, and i am not good enough to help you on X issues :( [16:45] hmw: okey thanks anyway. i'll check out purge [16:45] DavidVWallin: perhaps you can find out what got installed/updated using the history in synaptic [16:45] Seveas, lamba AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .phps as well does the trick [16:46] Matic, .phps is generally used to avoid the script being interpreted so one can download the php source (s is for source). So better not AddType that extension :-) [16:46] i have an adsl router that can be configured in web browser. does changing it into bridged mode mean that router's built-in firewall gets disabled? [16:47] Hey guys just wanted to know if the ATI Radeon HD 4830 was compatible with ubuntu 8.10? Thanks [16:47] glitsj16: synaptic without X? [16:47] DavidVWallin: I had a similar error, though it stemmed from a bad cd.

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [16:48] DavidVWallin: did you mean: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [16:49] i got dc but why is my nick still here? [16:49] guys anyone here familiar with fuppes ? [16:49] savvas: yeah [16:49] savvas: that only asks about which kind of keyboard i want to use and keyboard-type [16:49] a2z_, because the server didn't notice the disconnect yet [16:49] after i compiled it i cant .fuppes in home :( [16:49] savvas: nothing really about which drivers or so [16:49] seveas thanks but couldnt find that card [16:49] iv beeen searching for 30 minutes [16:49] DavidVWallin: try: dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg === flukxo is now known as boobsbr [16:50] savvas: still only asks about the keyboard-settings [16:50] what is wrong when grub wont load xp from a 3rd sata drive when i plug in a primary ide slave? [16:50] savvas: which type, language and stuff [16:50] DavidVWallin: then edit it directly: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:51] trygg, /boot/grub/menu.lst will point to the wrong hd [16:51] savvas: without X? [16:51] Why is mono 2 not supported on ubuntu? [16:51] DavidVWallin: ls -clt /var/cache/apt/archives/ | less maybe that command can show you the last packages that were installed [16:51] trygg /boot/grub/menu.lst pointing to the wrong drive [16:51] DavidVWallin: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:51] trygg - if your /boot/grub/menu.lst defines the drive by something like /dev/sda1, the order of drives might have changed. using the UUID of the partitions would solve the issue. [16:51] savvas: does it change hd#,# when another one is plugged in? [16:51] any help pleas [16:51] trygg yes [16:51] DavidVWallin: when you're done editing, hit Ctrl+X and "Y" and press Enter [16:51] Seveas> how much though does flash hog in your pc? I ask because I suspect the 64bit version consumes even more cpu [16:51] hmw: exactly how do i go about doing that? :) [16:52] savvas: even if i set it to vesa it doesn't work [16:52] mercutio22, don't know exactly (and am on umts now, so not going to watch youtube vidz) [16:52] trygg - find a tutorial on grub and use "sudo vol_id /dev/sda1" (or alike) for getting the UUID [16:52] DavidVWallin: ok, do you have internet on that machine? [16:52] trygg blkid will also give uuid gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst for the other [16:53] savvas: its the one i'm talking on atm :D [16:53] Anyone know a way to convert windows .contact files into vcard format? [16:53] savvas: in console-mode though :d [16:53] DavidVWallin: anything relevant in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to start debugging the issue ? [16:53] savvas: <3 irssi [16:53] nice :) [16:53] trygg - in case you arent able to solve it like that, you could add another boot entry with changed hd() entries and use that, as long as the new drive is connected. (this is a dirty solution, though) [16:53] DavidVWallin: execute this: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [16:54] glitsj16: the log is on my webserver [16:54] glitsj16: try http://www.sosc.se/Xorg.0.log [16:54] hmw: you mean kind of like brute force? try every combination+ [16:54] savvas: check what i wrote to glitsj16 [16:54] savvas: want the xorg.conf aswell? [16:55] trygg - yea. but i recommend you learn about grub, in this case, it shouldnt be too hard [16:55] DavidVWallin: I actually wanted /etc/X11/xorg.conf :) [16:55] hi [16:55] savvas: no devices detected [16:55] DavidVWallin: taking a look , i'll report back [16:55] savvas: i'll upload that aswell [16:55] how to convert a png file to acsii code (not graphics) [16:55] savvas: http://www.sosc.se/xorg.conf [16:56] farciarz84 - what do you mean by that? how should a png be converted to ascii but not graphics? or do you mean ASCII Art like non-graphics? [16:56] hmw I mean a text file [16:56] hey! i need to find a program which i can use to remove all information on .mp3's (id3, album art, etc) and then be able to retag the .mp3's according to filename - - - - . on windows i used to use mp3tag, which is really easy to use and it removes all information on songs. i have tried ex falso on linux but it seems as if it does not remove album art. any suggestions? [16:56] <hmw> farciarz84 - using characters mimicking graphics? [16:56] <trygg> hmw: the wierd thing is that according to mount, /dev/sdc1 is my windows partition [16:56] <DavidVWallin> glitsj16: http://www.sosc.se/xorg.conf [16:56] <savvas> DavidVWallin: try this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg; sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart [16:56] <trygg> and i have (hd2) as the root in grub [16:56] <farciarz84> hmw yes [16:57] <DavidVWallin> savvas: glitsj16: i did uncomment the Driver and Option after i tried it with just to try qwithout [16:57] <LjL> kristian1: easytag?

[16:59] <Jack_Sparrow> trygg the problem is that you are changing all the drive letters adding a drive below the others.. if you add the new drive as third drive it would not be changing the others [16:59] <sipior> freegoo: just "a+rwx" will do [16:59] <Pici> farciarz84: caca-utils or libaa-bin may have what you're looking for. [16:59] <hmw> trygg - these mixups occur on many machines due to BIOS swapping drives around. You can make it stable by addressing the drives by their UUID. the /dev/sdc1 way isnt always constant [16:59] <DavidVWallin> savvas: but i mean, it should work with vesa right?

[17:05] <Pici> WesGrant: Ask in #svn [17:05] <felix46> i need translate Konversation, i have file .po of the language, what i did? [17:05] <WesGrant> i cant find #svn [17:05] <Seveas> TheEdge_, well then you're screwed. The filesystem is unclean and ubuntu cannot fix that [17:05] <trygg> hmw: the ide is primary slave ide, and grub is on 3rd sata and i also have a 4th sata [17:05] <WesGrant> i'm an idiot [17:05] <WesGrant> i found it. [17:05] <WesGrant> thanks. [17:05] <Pici> WesGrant: Okay :) [17:05] <oCean_> TheEdge_: depends on how important the data is for you. The mount command has a force option, which will try to mount the device, but you might end up with a corrupted filesystem [17:05] <DavidVWallin> glitsj16: so pretty much just a new row which says BusID "PCI:0:3:0" ? [17:05] <Jack_Sparrow> trygg Also be aware that mixing ide and sata can have a whole set of issues to go with it [17:06] <Seveas> Jack_Sparrow, including the issue he is seeing :-) [17:06] <TheEdge_> oCean_ : also tried that but don't work [17:06] <Jack_Sparrow> :) [17:06] <trygg> Jack_Sparrow: i have had the same setup before i reformated though, for 2 years :) [17:06] <sipior> TheEdge_: still got your windows disk? you can boot from that and fix the filesystem, i would imagine [17:06] <felix46> i need translate Konversation, i have file .po of the language, what i did? [17:06] <glitsj16> DavidVWallin: exactly, i can't tell whether you will need PCI:0:3:0 or PCI:0:4:0, as your log mentions both, easily tried with either one i guess [17:07] <hmw> Jack_Sparrow trygg - am i mistaken, that in such a situation a race condition occurs? or can trygg just find the right hd() settings and leave them changed? [17:07] <danbhfive_jaunty> TheEdge_: maybe ntfsfix will work? [17:07] <TheEdge_> sipior: when i try to boot from the windows cd it starts but when the blue install screen comes up.. nothing happens [17:07] <Seveas> hmw, a race condition might very well happen there, but iirc it's unlikely [17:08] <savvas> DavidVWallin: I have nvidia and installed the driver, I tried as you did to restart gnome and couldn't, a reboot of the machine fixed it. [17:08] <TheEdge_> danbhfive_jaunty: where do i get that [17:08] <Jack_Sparrow> hmw On some systems you cant tell which will show up as sda to the bios so one boot sata will be sda and the next ide master 1 will be primary boot [17:08] <danbhfive_jaunty> TheEdge_: are you sure your harddrive or mobo isn't biting the dust? [17:08] <Seveas> TheEdge_, or memory [17:09] <hmw> Jack_Sparrow Seveas trygg - how would you approach this? i would just try different hd() settings usually, but if the drives swap randomly, you will only boot every now and then. [17:09] <Seveas> hmw, I wouldn't mix ide and sata :) [17:09] <hmw> oh my. [17:10] <TheEdge_> danbhfive_jaunty: i think it is all working.. had no problem last night.. i even get the error when i try to mount a external usb harddrive [17:10] <trygg> its wierd because it has been working flawlessly before [17:10] <danbhfive_jaunty> TheEdge_: cause if there is a hardware failure, trying to repair your partition may do more damage than fixing. But, I kinda suck at tracking down hardware problems [17:10] <hmw> trygg - thats not a big surprise - these changes dont happen always [17:10] <trygg> bugger.

[17:12] <trygg> hmw: i am now, the only thing i can see that can be something is makeactive [17:12] <TheEdge_> danbhfive_jaunty: yeah it really suck when you have to track a hardware problem.. every thing else in Ubuntu works fine.. only mount of harddrives that is my problem [17:14] <hmw> trygg - someone found, that if he changed the boot order in the bios, he got it reliable. not a convinient solution, though.

I have XChat and Firefox open with about 14 tabs (I know that is a little bit of a load,) but my dual core processor is stressed out. I'm only using 20% of my ram, but the one side of the cpu will show 100% usage while the other one is about 20%, then every 15 to 20 seconds they will change (100% to 20% and 20% to 100%) I have the system monitor running and that's where I'm getti [17:58] <RPS> ng the numbers from. [17:58] <DarkKnight> is there no one else who can add to that [17:58] <jussi01> daredevilthere: no, just put them in 1 directory, then cd to the directory, then do: sudo dpkg -i *.deb [17:59] <daredevilthere> jussi01: thanks [17:59] <jussi01> Carstairs: totally blank? [17:59] <Carstairs> yes [17:59] <Carstairs> was trying to get ati drivers going [17:59] <freegoo> i tryed using "debugfs" but i get this error: "/dev/sda3: Bad magic number in super-block while opening filesystem" [17:59] <jussi01> Carstairs: at what point does it go blank?

[18:01] <jussi01> Carstairs: what was the advice you were given to make this happen? [18:01] <jussi01> !games | bertolo [18:01] <ubottu> bertolo: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [18:01] <fr33ze> DarkKnight: depending on what you plan on in the future might make a big impact as well, if you plan on updating to 4GB or more RAM; 64bit is a must cause 32 cant handle it. but for overall usage 32bit is much more integrated [18:01] <Carstairs> given link to how to on loading free drivers for ATI [18:01] <jexmex> not sure, I probably need to find one for the old lady she is mad because I am always in linux and she cant play here games, lol [18:02] <jexmex> so no suggestions on flashfxp like ftp client for linux? === x-erth64net-Auto is now known as x-x-erth64net-Au [18:02] <DarkKnight> fr33ze; i m not planning to increase my ram....so is 32 bit that i need to install [18:02] <nanotube> DarkKnight: well, i don't know enough to make recommendations - as i said, i don't even have a 64bit processor :) just telling you what i've seen other people say. seems 32bit is a "safer" bet. [18:02] <Carstairs> edited x server i think [18:02] <RPS> does anyone have any helpful opinions on my dual core processor freaking out? [18:02] <DarkKnight> nanotube; thank you very much [18:03] <nanotube> DarkKnight: np :) [18:03] <fr33ze> DarkKnight: then yes, 32bits your best bet. its not nearly has RAM 'heavy' as 64 bit.

I can't even connect to my University's wpa-enterprise wifi although my vista partition can.. [18:03] <sipior> RPS: why do you think that the behaviour you mentioned is abnormal? [18:03] <Carstairs> yes [18:04] <vigo> Carstairs: I had that problem , I had to use the restore function, one trick I learned was do NOT install the proprietary ATI as is suggested on the taskbar, just boot, then use Synaptic to find the drivers that will work. [18:04] <DarkKnight> fr33ze; i am planning to install virtualbox on this and have 3-4 OS's so would there be any problem with a 32 bit for this [18:05] <jussi01> Carstairs: I suggest you use the live cd to get to your file system, then remove your changes to the xorg [18:05] <RPS> sipior, my laptop is acting sluggish and I've not seen it act like this ...it may be over heated a bit, but I leave it running all the time on the same surface and I've not seen it act like this. I'll also add that I rebooted the unit this morning, so its had a reboot recently [18:05] <fr33ze> DarkKnight: nope there should be no issues with getting those to work under 32 bit. [18:05] <Carstairs> vigo: thanks but i'm more inclined to just fdisk and use xp [18:05] <freegoo> What is a super-block? and what do i do if i get a "Bad magic number in super-block"?????? [18:06] <DarkKnight> fr33ze; thank you very much....this was quite helpful [18:06] <fr33ze> DarkKnight: anytime [18:06] <sipior> RPS: but do you see this same behaviour when the system is unloaded? === john is now known as Guest38267 [18:07] <jussi01> Carstairs: if XP suits your needs, then Id say stick with it.

[18:56] <chakoshi> hi is there any one with some experience on servers( maybe HP servers)? [18:56] <sipior> chakoshi: that's an awfully general question... [18:56] <sipior> chakoshi: was there something in particular you had in mind? [18:56] <Tuxprobe> markl_ but its not really for gdm to decide if two X's should be running. I want to be able to start a new X when entering remote desktop (vnc, vmware etc) [18:57] <chakoshi> sipior: I know I'll explain more! [18:57] <shadeslayer> hey i installed GNOME along KDE [18:57] <shadeslayer> but [18:57] <shadeslayer> but [18:57] <chakoshi> I've some problem booting ubuntu on HP servers, can you help? [18:57] <shadeslayer> :P [18:57] <markl__> Tuxprobe: that is completely different then, each of those has its own way to do it === mike is now known as Guest1735 [18:57] <shadeslayer> my user switcher wont work [18:57] <Tuxprobe> soier ah ok, your tmpfs is the shared memory area for applications to interact/communicate [18:58] <shadeslayer> and aptitude is locked [18:58] <sipior> chakoshi: perhaps you could explain the precise problem you're having? === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [18:58] <Tuxprobe> soier so its in memory, not as a fixed drive [18:59] <chakoshi> sipior, ofcourse, I have installed ubuntu succesfully on HP machines, but when I boot the system , it cant find the boot partition [18:59] <sipior> chakoshi: what error do you get? [18:59] <chakoshi> I think something is wrong in RAID or something like this [18:59] <soier> Tuxprobe: so can I change it (tmpfs) to make some free space on dev/sda2 or it doesn't affect my dev/sda2 [18:59] <baig> #java [18:59] <sipior> chakoshi: are you trying to boot off of a raid volume? [18:59] <chakoshi> no errors, it just cant find any boot device! [18:59] <baig> hello there [19:00] <steve`rogers> hi guys [19:00] <Tuxprobe> markl__ yea right you are - but basically, its because i dont want to select 'fullscreen' option each time i need toggle between windows on the desktop [19:00] <steve`rogers> someone could help with installation of xubuntu 8.10 on ppc ?

[20:51] <calamari> georgez: have you got any other info on why it isnt working? [20:51] <Huufarted> georgez: so the problem is that it won't get an IP address via DHCP on a wired network? [20:52] <Huufarted> illumin8, yes and it went through fine [20:52] <wtf22> is there a reason why one would want to run debian instead of ubuntu? [20:52] <Cotowar> big-g: what am i doing with it once i have it/find it? [20:52] <illumin8> Huufarted, looking to see if i can tell whats wrong be right with you [20:52] <Huufarted> wtf22, Ubuntu is Debian, just with specific packages added [20:52] <big-g> Cotowar: google .asoundrc and get some samples. [20:52] <Huufarted> illumin8, you're a peach. :) [20:52] <Cotowar> wtf22, debian is more secure from my understanding as well [20:52] <oskar-> wtf22: debian is perhaps a bit more of the pure spirit?

[20:54] <Huufarted> lol, oh boy... if you aren't sure if you created multiple partitions, then you're in WAY over your head. [20:54] <illumin8> Huufarted, are you attempting to convert to gnome from some other desktop manager? [20:54] <Cotowar> wtf22, as i said, it was just from my understanding. i wasn't sure [20:55] <ali__> what is the solution? [20:55] <Cotowar> wtf22, :) [20:55] <Huufarted> illumin8, no. I attempted to update gtk2+, was told it needed glib, pango, atk, cairo, so I apparently screwed up that.

The real problem I think is a dependency is screwed up (or GTK2 itself) and GNOME itself won't load [20:56] <vagelis> apo ellada kaneis???? [20:56] <Silicium> it works [20:56] <Silicium> thanks [20:56] <illumin8> Huufarted, although im truely not sure how to proceed.

[20:57] <Huufarted> good call, illumin8. I suppose next is to try and apt-get it [20:57] <oskar-> acfrazier: try with an apropriate package name: apt-get --reinstall install linux-image....

(this way it works, of course) [20:58] <Huufarted> illumin8, lol 'sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev' gives me the same thing [20:58] <illumin8> Huufarted, nope thats got issues for you [20:58] <Huufarted> so I see, illumin8. [20:58] <Huufarted> illumin8, do I download the .deb and force dpkg to install it? [20:58] <illumin8> Huufarted, you will want to manually download the gtk-2.0 then drag/drop it into the theme [20:59] <Huufarted> illumin8, no dragging and dropping here. No GNOME.

[21:33] <erichammond> Tao: What Ubuntu version? [21:33] <jonaskoelker> Tao: that only disables it under X, and you have to rerun it for every session (so put it in a startup script) [21:33] <sadaiyappan> ok [21:33] <Tao> Ubuntu Studio which has a particularly annoying flavor of beep. [21:34] <Frenchie> nope i wasn't even sure if that was related [21:34] <jonaskoelker> Slart: wouldn't it make sense that firefox doesn't know about sound natively, but lets plugins handle that?

[21:47] <pjsturgeon> guntburt not the point surely, im just trying to track down the file [21:48] <oCean_> stryd_one: in the left-hand list, there is "firefox-javaplugin.so" ? For that, I can choose both java versions [21:48] <Cotowar> open it and do a save as? [21:48] <jonaskoelker> Slart: doesn't work :( [21:48] <pjsturgeon> if i need to know the path to it, i need to find it [21:48] <stryd_one> oCean_, yes it's correct in there [21:48] <jonaskoelker> Slart: no value of FIREFOX_DSP seems to work for me [21:48] <_VIM_> !who | Cotowar [21:48] <ubottu> Cotowar: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[21:49] <Dandre> ok thanks [21:49] <pjsturgeon> i am following the instructions. this is step 1 [21:49] <pjsturgeon> and yes, it is [21:49] <McQueen> quibbler: thanks [21:49] <stryd_one> oCean_, thanks for taking a shot at it mate :) [21:49] <Cotowar> Dandre, check to see if that's right, I'm not sure if it is there or somewhere else === mafs| is now known as patrick [21:49] <pjsturgeon> guntburt ahh good it shows the path in ps aux [21:49] <oCean_> stryd_one: np. hope you find a fix === patrick is now known as Guest44311 [21:50] <oCean_> pjsturgeon: /var/run/mysqld is where the pid file for mysql should be [21:50] <rockyrock> hi guys, how can i send files from my mobile to ubuntu using bluetooth?? I can only send files from Ubuntu to my mobile! [21:50] <Dandre> yes it is there, thanks Cotowar [21:50] <m4rk> Bodsda: I still get a whole lot of 404 commands. I might need an up-to-date sources.list [21:50] <rockyrock> i don't see any button to do that === Guest44311 is now known as mafsi [21:50] <Cyntek> Myst__, that was not what i was looking for but thanks for the reply. [21:50] <Cotowar> Dandre, no problem. I get help all the time, I'm glad to contribute back [21:50] <pjsturgeon> oCean_: yea the host-name was throwing me, the file is just mysqld.pid [21:50] <Bodsda> m4rk, can you pastebin your sources.list please [21:51] <brunner> are there any firefox plugins that will grep a website? [21:51] <rockyrock> !bluetooth [21:51] <ubottu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [21:51] <illumin8> Frenchie, apparently this bug is widespread, a few people reported succes by booting with noapci and nolapci. [21:51] <pjsturgeon> BUUUT I get cat: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid: Permission denied [21:51] <pjsturgeon> cant I just kill -9 this? [21:51] <oCean_> pjsturgeon: why would you kill what? [21:51] <guntbert> pjsturgeon: use sudo cat... [21:51] <illumin8> Frenchie, is your card a usb or slotted network card? [21:51] <sammy> pjsturgeon: if you're getting permission denied while trying to cat that file, try using sudo cat [21:51] <Myst__> Cyntek, what kind of a guide? just a general install or specific install? [21:52] <glitsj16> amathis: did you experiment with changing about:config value http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.check_doc_frequency yet in firefox ? if you set that key to 1 it basically always checks for a new version of pages [21:52] <pjsturgeon> sammy: tried that straight away, thats WITH sudo [21:53] <m4rk> Bodsda: sources.list at http://pastebin.com/d5f7703a2 [21:53] <johnnymo> I have a question about audio capture in Ubuntu 8.10.... [21:53] <Cyntek> Myst__, just a guide to learn the server configurations and settings, i think i have found one, http://www.linuxinet.com/go/serverguide.pdf [21:53] <sammy> so I'm doing an apt-get install, and some packages are showing up as suggested. yet none of these packages are suggested by the one I'm trying to install. where is the dependency coming from, one of the automagically installed dependencies of the original package I'm trying to install? [21:53] <pjsturgeon> oCean_ well step 1 of this mad guide is to kill mysql process. I can do that easily with kill -9 but this kill command its telling me to use does not work at all [21:53] <sammy> pjsturgeon: you're trying to kill mysql process? try " ps ax | grep mysqld" [21:53] <Iceman_B^Ltop> where do programs generally get installed when I retrieve them through Atptitude ? [21:53] <Bodsda> m4rk, what country do you live in? [21:53] <sammy> pjsturgeon: I don't know why root can't read your mysql'd pid file, but that should give you the PID of the mysqld process [21:53] <m4rk> Bodsda: UK [21:54] <pjsturgeon> sammy yea using that [21:54] <pjsturgeon> :( [21:54] <oCean_> pjsturgeon: I'm not sure what guide you are following, and to what reason. I have not seen/read you problem, but I would say /etc/init.d/mysqld stop is the proper command [21:54] <johnnymo> I'm running ubuntu on an IBM T22 thinkpad. Audio works, I can hear the source audio through the line input as it plays through the speakers, but no recording software can pick it up. Anyone know what might cause this? [21:54] <Bodsda> m4rk, ok, try this one -- http://pastebin.com/m56fd5704 [21:54] <sammy> pjsturgeon: and you should be able to shut down mysql gracefully instead, YES what oCean_ said. [21:54] <nickrud> Iceman_B^Ltop, in several places, primarily /etc , /usr/bin, /usr/share, and /usr/lib . Others as well, maybe. dpkg -L <pkgname> will show details [21:54] <Bodsda> m4rk, also you may want to think about upgrading to hardy [21:54] <oCean_> pjsturgeon: "pidof mysqld" will also return the mysqld pid [21:55] <rockyrock> Bluez doesn't support sending files from Mobiles to ubuntu! [21:55] <psicobra> myth tv kicks ass [21:55] <Iceman_B^Ltop> thanks nickrud [21:55] <dkg> hi. can I get keyboard scancodes from /dev/input/event(x) ? [21:56] <_VIM_> O.o! I never knew about the pidof command, Very nice oCean! :) [21:56] <pjsturgeon> well that goes to show the only guide thats been reccomended to me is badly made. I swear there is an easy way to set a root password for ubuntu setup [21:56] <rockyrock> I added a new device to Bluez but when i browse bluetooth devices on mobile phone, i don't find my pc! [21:56] <pjsturgeon> i THINK i may have set it up ok, but am having trouble checking [21:56] <gfather> guys how can i make sure that i have all the right drivers and all working properly ? [21:56] <nickrud> pjsturgeon, if you can log in as root, you've set it up right. [21:56] <psicobra> gfather, what isn't working [21:57] <oCean_> pjsturgeon: setting mysql root pw is easy. Or did you forget the initial root pw ?? [21:57] <guntbert> dkg: I use xev [21:57] <gfather> psicobra nothing isint working ,, [21:57] <gfather> psicobra but preformance is not good [21:57] <dkg> guntbert: thankyou [21:57] <psicobra> then i guess u have the right drivers ;) [21:57] <psicobra> what isn't performing well [21:57] <pjsturgeon> oCean_ http://pastie.org/397842 [21:57] <gfather> psicobra that could be , but all working properly ? [21:58] <gfather> psicobra the whole pc performance [21:58] <psicobra> gfather, spec? [21:58] <oCean_> pjsturgeon: is this your first login in the mysql server? [21:58] <[TK]D-Fender> hello all, have a remission of a problem that solved itself earlier. running FireFox on 8.10 all of my windows are opening up in a 1/2 way to full-screen mode which masks the window decorations & my Gnome panels. f11 can cycle through these 3 modes but I can't find where to go to undo however it got this way [21:59] <pjsturgeon> oCean_ i have logged into the ubuntu server many times but never got into mysql [21:59] <pjsturgeon> not needed to until now [21:59] <gfather> amd athlon am2 3000+ , 2gb ram , 128 mb radion x300 [21:59] <oCean_> pjsturgeon: the mysql password for the root user is not necessarily the same as your own pw, which you enter using sudo [21:59] <gfather> psicobra amd athlon am2 3000+ , 2gb ram , 128 mb radion x300 [21:59] <psicobra> gfather, you running compiz-fusion or similar? [21:59] <gfather> yes [21:59] <oCean_> pjsturgeon: when installing mysql (through apt-get) you are asked (during install) for a password to set [21:59] <Cyntek> Alright, im attempting to install ubuntu server on my old pc chips computer. [21:59] <pjsturgeon> oCean_ yea it will be different to my user pass === kenich1 is now known as Soul_Eater [22:00] <pjsturgeon> this is the built in apache, im using ubuntu server [22:00] <gfather> psicobra but t has the same preformance before i enabled it [22:00] <oCean_> pjsturgeon: since this is your first login in the mysql server, there is probably no rootpw setup right now [22:00] <psicobra> gfather, thats probably why if you disable compiz should improve lot [22:00] <oCean_> pjsturgeon: login using "mysql -u root" (nothing else, just that) [22:00] <psicobra> if you disable compix and run glxgears what fps do you get? [22:00] <pjsturgeon> oCean_ thts what i thought, i've been trying to find the command but all i can find is badly written guides [22:00] <pjsturgeon> aha thanks [22:00] <psicobra> *compiz [22:01] <gfather> psicobra well its the same performance as before i enabled it [22:01] <pjsturgeon> access denies, using password yes [22:02] <pjsturgeon> as i sent you in the pastie, i think i got the password set eventually, cant connect with my GUI and cant connect command line [22:02] <gfather> psicobra one this is i tried hardinfo and it shows i have AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ , Frequency 1000.00MHz [22:03] <psicobra> cpu scling maybe? [22:03] <gfather> psicobra why it dosent show its am2 and 1.8 ghz or more [22:03] <oCean_> pjsturgeon: using password yes? That implies that you gave the -p option. [22:03] <psicobra> gfather, do you have a power icon on task bar? [22:03] <dkg> is there a non gui utility (xev) to read scancodes from /dev/input/event6 [22:03] <crdlb> gfather: are you using the restricted ATI driver in Hardware Drivers? [22:03] <pjsturgeon> i didnt! heh [22:03] <oCean_> pjsturgeon: "mysql -u root" should give "using password no" [22:03] <gfather> crdlb yes [22:04] <gfather> psicobra yes [22:04] <m4rk> Bodsda: hmm..that doesn't seem to have fixed it...still getting the same behaviour [22:04] <pjsturgeon> using password no, oops [22:04] <Reformer81> AFter installing kubuntu-kde4-desktop, bootup now halts with an error message saying that /dev/sdb6 (my /home partition) cannot be checked by fsck. Also, when logging into gnome now, the "User Switcher" applet crashes every time. What happened and how do I fix it? [22:04] <psicobra> cn you change power scheme to perfomance [22:04] <crdlb> gfather: if you only want compiz, and not 3d gaming, you'll may have better performance if you disable it and reboot [22:04] <Bodsda> m4rk, can you pastebin the error please [22:04] <gfather> psicobra u mean power on/off ? [22:05] <pjsturgeon> oCean_: ahh great after all that (im in!) its not in here anyway. sodding jinzora bollocks! [22:05] <oCean_> pjsturgeon: errr, yes. There also might be a .my.cnf configfile in your homedirectory, which overrides things. Hmmm... [22:05] <gfather> crdlb really ? [22:05] <infomomo> :D [22:05] <psicobra> no ubuntu migh be using cpu scaling if supported by your hardware witch is why it only says 1000MHZ === Nexos_ is now known as Nexos [22:05] <crdlb> gfather: yeah, the builtin open source radeon driver can definitely run compiz on an X300 [22:05] <nickrud> oCean_, just caught up; a useful backdoor is in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf [22:05] <crdlb> and it may very well be faster [22:05] <psicobra> gfather, type cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies in console === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [22:05] <gfather> crdlb is there a benchmark i can compare between them ? [22:06] <crdlb> gfather: and if it isn't, you can always re-enable it [22:06] <oCean_> nickrud: ah, ok. But I think we've lost pjsturgeon somehow ... :/ [22:06] <nickrud> oCean_, I think he said he got in, and what he wanted wasn't in the db anyway ;) [22:06] <gfather> psicobra 1800000 1000000 [22:06] <crdlb> gfather: no, just see which one feels faster; fglrx technically has better 3d acceleration, but compiz needs good performance in other areas that fglrx is terrible at [22:07] <gfather> crdlb ah i see [22:07] <lenswipe> can anyone help me with backing up /home to an external HDD as an incremental backup? [22:07] <XxSwitchBladexX> i need help with javascript, can't see any youtube videos, what should i do?? [22:07] <oCean_> nickrud: aaah, lol, now I get his message. [22:07] <sammy> how can I find how why a package is showing as a suggested package when doing apt-get install? synaptic and the .deb itself doesn't show the package as having any suggested packages. I assume its a suggested dependency of one of the dependencies of the package I'm trying to install? but there's no good way to find which one is pulling the dependency, and if there is with apt-rdepend, I cant find it [22:07] <lenswipe> anyone know anything about that? [22:07] <s3a> how do i convert FRENCH text into a .wav file? in english i do espeak -f file.txt -w file.wav -s 85 [22:07] <Izinucs> !rsync | lenswipe [22:07] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync [22:08] <gfather> crdlb ok , ill try it and see what feels better [22:08] <Izinucs> lenswipe: rsync and it's gui helper grsync will help you with what you want to do . [22:08] <lenswipe> lzinucs: rsync needs a server tho lzinucs [22:08] <sammy> lenswipe: what about sbackup [22:08] <gfather> crdlb does nvidia has the same issues? [22:08] <guntbert> oCean_: thx for stepping in with pjsturgeon, I misunderstood, assumed he had lost his root pw without confirming this [22:09] <sammy> !sbackup [22:09] <ubottu> sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe [22:09] <rakudave> s3a: "-v fr", see "man espeak" for details [22:09] <Cyntek> okay, im instaling Ubuntu Server and im not sure which software I need to include for what i need, just for basic Home Network Media Sharing "Software Selection" it asks me to choose which do i need: DNS server, Mail server , Lamp server, Openssh, Print server, Samba file server, Tomcat java server , virtual Machine host, lampserver? Do i need to check all these ? [22:09] <XxSwitchBladexX> i need help with javascript, can't see any youtube videos, what should i do?? [22:09] <gfather> crdlb i mean the nvidia drivers [22:09] <s3a> rakudave, where do i put the -v fr on the line i alredy type?

[22:09] <rakudave> s3a: doesn't matter [22:09] <jonaskoelker> roflcopter... [22:09] <m4rk> Bodsda: actually mate, --fix-missing seems to be doing something different this time. So perhaps it is working (it's still chugging away)! :) [22:10] <oCean_> guntbert: yeah, well... I did not understand all of it either to be honest. It seems he got in, but he was not where he wanted to be :p [22:10] <s3a> rakudave, so i can put it in the end then?

[22:17] <smokeytheman> whenever i try to launch a web embedded flash app it freezes [22:17] <sammy> Reformer81: installing that package shouldn't have anything to do with your /home partition going awry. did you happen to change anything else before rebooting? [22:17] <runey> when i run multicast restore all i get is to the actual clone part then.... *nothing* [22:17] <oCean_> smokeytheman: what plugin have you installed?

It's a vulnerability in peoples' routers. #ubuntu's bots ban people who are vulnerable to it and forward them to a channel with instructions on fixing it.
