[01:12] the only thing that may be causing would be the wireless driver, but this shouldn't be the problem, since that chipset is around for some time [01:12] Xamusk what release etc are you running [01:13] Jack_Sparrow, Intrepid [01:13] i too have wireless internet issues- it won't connect, justs ask for authorisation as if the password is no good- which it is...

This used to be so easy on Gentoo, but I can't find any info on how to do this on Ubuntu/Debian. [01:48] mystilleef: what do you mean exactly? Isn't this a pure python question? [01:48] I installed python2.6 on Ubuntu, how do I get python apps to use it? [01:48] mystilleef: #!/usr/bin/env python2.6 right? [01:48] I've never tried a remote desktop connection with Gnome. Worked great with Krfb/Krdc... but I can't get Vinagre to connect.... [01:49] i have a ubuntu guest on a windows host (vbox) and for some reason i cant get my static IP settings to save, they get reset to automatic DHCP when i restart [01:49] jrib: How do I get installed apps to use python2.6? [01:49] i lost write access to my filesystem [01:49] jrib: Is there a migration script? [01:49] mystilleef, there's a pretty big #python channel here on freenode [01:49] mystilleef: what installed apps? [01:50] i just booted with livecd . . i need to run fsck or something right? [01:50] jrib: A whole bunch. [01:50] mystilleef: you don't want to make python2.6 default if that's what you are asking [01:50] jrib: See /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages [01:50] jrib: Why not?

[01:51] by default, where does apache2 bind ip ? [01:51] jrib: I know. I'm asking for migration script? Like other distros have. Where's the one for Ubuntu. [01:51] any one knows what's faster an Eee pc with xp or with ubuntu or eeebuntu [01:51] jrib, you were helping me two days ago and recommended live cd to get my write access back [01:51] topo_, any ubuntu will run faster, but for best performance try xubuntu which is for lower-resource computers (even if its not the case) its still real good. [01:51] mystilleef: whenever 2.6 becomes the default in a release, you upgrade to that release [01:51] now i am here in ubuntu off the live cd [01:51] topo_: guess it all depends, does it have an SSD, or a regular hard drive [01:52] bonhoffer, fsck is and integrity check tool for file system - it has nothing to do with permissions [01:52] Audacitee, someone said here my filesystem was corrupted [01:52] jrib: I'm a developer I need to get 2.6 on it so I can test my app. [01:52] mystilleef: ubuntu isn't a rolling release [01:52] any one knows what's faster an Eee pc with xp or with ubuntu or eeebuntu [01:52] there is no way i can log on -- even as root -- i get "to write access" [01:52] topo_: if you're not going to answer a response, then why repeat the question? [01:52] topo_, I just answered and so did IndyGunFreak [01:52] mystilleef: didn't you say you already had 2.6? === kevin_ is now known as uvacav [01:53] bonhoffer, possible, what's the error when you try to write to it? [01:53] hold on . . . [01:53] jrib: Yes, I do. But it's not the default python on Ubuntu. [01:53] put in pastebin if it's huge please [01:53] IndyGunFreak: sorry i missed that : ( [01:53] fearful: i had ubuntu 8.10 on my eee, and it ran fine, but i didn't like the SSD.. so i sold it, bought an AAO w/ a 120gig drive(and XP), removed XP, installed 8.10, and its awesome. [01:54] jrib: I just need a script that will update ubuntu from python2.5 to python2.6, that's all. [01:54] mystilleef: right, because that would break important scripts that were written for 2.5. If you want to use 2.6, then put that in the shebang line for your app. Why won't this work? [01:54] IndyGunFreak: its a Eee pc 1000 ha so its a 160 gb hd [01:54] IndyGunFreak, yea I bet, just simply in my opinion its always better to have Ubuntu over any Windows [01:54] jrib: Because the python libraries on Ubuntu are still using python2.5 [01:54] topo_: then i don't think you'd see a difference between any ubuntu, eeeubuntu or xubuntu... my AAO runs fantastic w/ 8.10 [01:55] topo_, then yes definitely ubuntu [01:55] fearful: no doubt about that, my disdain for xp is.... well known : [01:55] IndyGunFreak, topo_ you will see a difference between XP and Ubuntu tho [01:55] Anyone know how can I force a port to be freed? I was running azureus and it crashed, but the forwarded port remained blocked so when I started another azureus instance it had connectivity problems. [01:55] jrib: gentoo had python-updater for moments like this. [01:55] IndyGunFreak, I am a hoosier also [01:56] fearful: yeah, indeed. my AAO came w/ XP, i used it for about 20min to test everything then booted ubuntu, and it really runs great on there... [01:56] DJNomad: oh ya?.. where at [01:56] IndyGunFreak, anderson [01:56] fearful: i hate xp to i've been using linux for over a decade but the eee pc come with windows [01:56] topo_, doesn't matter, my computer came with Vista (eww) wiped that Ubuntu over any Windows thats my opinion tho [01:56] mystilleef: see if reinstalling the library after installing a packaged version of python2.6 (https://edge.launchpad.net/~doko/+archive/ppa) just works or not (I'm not sure) [01:56] can someone help get the built-in microphone on my laptop's webcam to work? using Ubuntu 8.10 on a gateway m-6881 [01:57] topo_, I say you boot in LiveCD and check out how it runs. I'm sure it'll be much better. === dani is now known as Guest8183 [01:57] vocx: azureus crashing caused your router to block a port that you forwarded? [01:57] DJNomad: have some old friends up that way.. most of them worked at the prison [01:57] fearful: its there any benchmark on that issue [01:57] jrib: It's installed but it doesn't do the migration from 2.5 to 2.6 [01:57] IndyGunFreak, yeah i got a few friends work there also maybe a feew in there too lol [01:57] Has anyone successfully gotten TV out of avermedia pvr-150 PLUS [01:57] mystilleef: you installed that python2.6 package? [01:57] topo_, I'm sorry I don't understand benchmark? [01:57] jrib: I don't want to have manually recompile/reinstall all the python pacgkes. [01:58] DJNomad: lol... sorry to say, me to. [01:58] vocx, Vuze will use upnp afaik - mine worked out of the box [01:58] crdlb: What was that command input I needed for the wireless device that had 'ath5x' at the end? I had to reinstall due to Gparted crashing while I was resizing my Linux partition to become larger. [01:58] jrib: Yes, I have python2.6 installed. But it's useless because nothing uses it. [01:58] fearful: those tests like phoronix one [01:58] McShane, that's a way to put it. Apparently the processed remained as zombie, that is the parent being init, so it was weird. A reboot would fix it, but I just wanted to know of a way to reboot ports or something. [01:58] mystilleef: is that a "yes" to my question or a "yes, I have python2.6 installed" (this wasn't my question) [01:58] fearful: to compare in actual numbers [01:58] jrib: I have python2.6 installed. [01:58] vocx: just kill the process [01:59] topo_: why don't you just either 1... boot an ubuntu cd, or 2... put ubuntu on a thumb drive, and boot it, and see how it goes. [01:59] how do i disable and re-enable compiz? i am trying to get suaerbraten to work with my mouse... [01:59] topo_, umm.. I'm not sure to be honest, but you can boot with LiveCD and monitor using the system monitor and then doing the same with xp.. [01:59] McShane, A zombie process cannot be killed, it has finished but it remains on the process table. [01:59] topo_, or maybe I misunderstood the question [01:59] topo_: id o know, your wireless probably isn't going to work out of the box... do you know if you have the atheros wireless device, or the realtek one? [01:59] mystilleef: good luck with your issue. [01:59] ultratek, what window manager are you using ? to enable it's compiz --replace [02:00] IndyGunFreak: i belive its the realtek one [02:00] Audacitee, I'm using UDP too that's not exactly the problem. [02:00] topo_: yeah, those are kind of a pain [02:00] I've connected my cell phone via usb cable,in terminal what command to find out location of it ,dmesg? [02:00] IndyGunFreak: i've search the forum and apparently they do run with the eeebuntu mod kernel [02:00] audacite, window manager? [02:01] IndyGunFreak, that's because of the ipv4 issue correct? I might have a fix for topo_ if its that case, some where in my history [02:01] IndyGunFreak: hows the boot time one Aao [02:01] ultratek, like gnome, kde etc... [02:01] anyone know why startkde would be missing? [02:01] topo_: well, you can get it to work w/ "regular" 8.10... just take some works, but that might be one reason to choose eee, is for the kernel w/ the realtek driver [02:01] Audacitee, i can't get the error without rebooting out of the live cd [02:01] vocx, I don't know, then. You could try starting and stopping eth0/eth1 [02:01] audacite, gnome [02:02] topo_: i have no complaints about its boot time.. i've never timed it, but its similar to my workhorse laptop. [02:02] vocx, that is, restarting the ethX device [02:02] What was that command input I needed for the wireless device that had 'ath5x' at the end? I had to reinstall due to Gparted crashing while I was resizing my Linux partition to become larger. Therefore, my Atheros chipset wireless network card isn't in the list of devices. [02:02] IndyGunFreak: thats amazing [02:02] ultratek, well to disable compiz - i'd just go metacity --replace [02:02] ultratek, use terminal or alt+f2 for those commands [02:02] Hakume: which atheros device is it? [02:02] auda, thank you [02:03] McShane, As I said, it was kinda weird. Just wanted to know if anybody had experience with that. For instance, "netstat -t -u" will show the TCP and UDP ports in use. So it would show my port as in use, even when azureus was zombie. [02:03] bonhoffer, yeah - can't really say if it's a permission thing or a corruption thing without seeing the error [02:04] bonhoffer, you can try log in as root and write to the disk to see if it's a permission thing though [02:04] Audacitee, in live cd mode -- can i do some housekeeping [02:04] Hakume: which atheros device is it? [02:04] It is.... [02:04] Hmm this is odd. [02:04] IndyGunFreak: fearful: i'm going to go with the eeebuntu version thx for all the help, my only concern is that the win xp versions boots on la 35 seconds hope i can match it [02:04] bonhoffer, yep you can [02:04] I can't get Adobe Flash installed on 8.04 LTS. [02:04] (trying to remember the command input to display the device) [02:04] Audacitee, sorry -- i am a noob -- what can i do [02:04] KFP: the package name is flashplugin-nonfree [02:05] topo_: probably a good idea w/ that realtek deiice good luck [02:05] Hakume: lspci [02:05] 07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [02:05] bonhoffer, what do you want to do besides fsck? [02:05] Hakume: go to system/admin/hardware drivers [02:06] I already got the driver. [02:06] Audacitee, is there anything else? [02:06] I want to run pam_exec if a user types his password wrong once, is that possible? [02:06] Hakume: are you using 32bit? [02:06] Yes. [02:06] Hakume: do you ahve 1 or two options in hardware drivers for atheros. [02:06] Audacitee, how do i even find my old file-system [02:06] bonhoffer, not particularly for your problem [02:07] bonhoffer, it's not mounted? [02:07] I disabled the one that doesn't work, have already rebooted, and am using (having activated it before the previous reboot) the correct driver. [02:07] tritium: "Couldn't find package". [02:07] Hakume: thats odd, and you still don't have wireless? [02:07] !info flashplugin-nonfree [02:07] flashplugin-nonfree (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 10.0.15.3ubuntu1~intrepid1 (intrepid), package size 18 kB, installed size 164 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) [02:07] KFP: ^^ [02:08] Audacitee, i can't find my /home files in it [02:08] KFP: perhaps you've not enabled the multiverse component, then [02:08] would live cd allow someone into my home filesystem anyway? [02:08] I just need the command that is something like 'get ath5x' [02:08] I just can't remember. [02:08] tritium: I first tried the "Add/remove software" tool but it complained about 64 bit or something. [02:08] Hakume: you shouldn't need to do that.. did you install the backport modules? [02:08] fsck shows /dev/sda6 contains a file system with errors, check forced [02:08] That's what I did. [02:09] KFP: ah, that may be it. It may not be available for 64-bit. [02:09] Hakume: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic [02:09] umm.. hello ^^ [02:09] tritium: I have it running on my 64 bit desktop which has the exact same Ubuntu as this laptop. Hmm. :\ [02:10] bonhoffer, I would boot the recovery kernel and run fsck to do a disk check, then keep your error if it re-occurs when you boot normal kernel and put it in paste.ubuntu.com and come back here [02:10] I installed it from Synaptic, and am using the driver that worked perfectly last night before I tried to expand the Linux partition this morning. [02:10] tritium: I don't recall having problems there but it's been a while so I don't remember exactly. [02:10] KFP: then double-check that you have multiverse enabled, and an updated package list [02:10] tritium: How can I check that? :) [02:10] crdlb gave me a command last night that fixed my problem completely. [02:11] Hakume: dunno, i've got that same device on 3 different laptops, installing the backport modules, and disabling that driver, has always worked [02:11] Audacitee, lots and lots of Inode xxxx was part of the orphaned inode list [02:11] Isn't there some kind of GUI app that will let me setup partitions to automount? I shouldn't have to manually edit the fstab just to get a hard drive to be available. [02:11] lots of deleted inode 4406xx has zero dtime. [02:11] I just can't remember the full command. [02:11] Hakume: you don't need a command [02:11] Audacitee, is this standard (btw, thanks for your help - i really appreciate it) [02:11] thats what i was trying to tell you === eric_ is now known as talntid [02:11] KFP: it would be listed in your /etc/apt/sources.list [02:11] Well.... [02:12] Reformer81, as a matter of fact that is expert knowledge so yes, you have to do it by hand. It says so in the fstab manual. [02:12] Hakume: do you have two atheros options in system/admin/hardware drivers [02:12] One disabled and one enabled. [02:12] 5xxx enabled, and generic disabled. [02:12] vocx: So... it's expert knowledge and everyday computer users don't deserve to have access to their files when using Linux? Fascinating. [02:12] then your wireless should work, you don't need to disable anything else.. [02:12] bonhoffer, yeah that error seems like an integrity problem, as I said boot recovery kernel and start at console and run fsck and see what it does [02:12] Im looking for a good video editing program that will do AVI (I have 2 AVIs I want to smash back together) [02:13] tritium: Yes, seems to be enabled. Hmm. [02:13] Audacitee, anything special to boot the recovery kernel (i take it i need to do that in addition to the fsck i am doing now) [02:13] now getting block bitmap differences [02:13] hey, how can i fix the glitch when using compiz i always need to switch back on extra graphics, how can i do so, so it'll stay that way and i won't need to switch back on startup all the time? === rachel is now known as Guest77305 [02:13] I need a copy of airodump because it is not included with the aircrack-ng package. [02:13] Reformer81, well, it's more complicated than that of course. Because typically you set up the disk partitions once, and you do not change them every day, and if you do (running a server) then you are expert. [02:13] The device isn't in the list though, causing wireless to not work. [02:13] Free blocks count wrong for group #54 [02:14] bonhoffer, just boot the recovery kernel in the grub list - I wouldn't do it from live cd unless your system won't boot to a console at all [02:14] vocx: But this isn't a partition that changes every day... it has all of my photos and music on it. I'd like it to be accessible in Linux... but right now I'm needing to manually mount it every time. [02:14] Audacitee, thanks [02:14] Where can I get airodump-ng? [02:14] nevermind I have it [02:14] I had forgotten to include -ng [02:14] Hakume: i don't know what instructions you've followed before, but disable the atheros generic driver, install the backports, and restart, and your wireless should work... if youv'fe had to do something else in the past, thenn i cant explain that, like i said, i have that device on 3 different laptops, and it works fine doing just that [02:15] vocx: I can figure out how to add it to fstab, but I was hoping that Ubuntu had finally realized that not everyone knows how to do that. [02:15] bonhoffer, np, gl [02:15] what do I have to echo to know which is my default webbrowser? [02:15] Reformer81-> once you have the entry in the /etc/fstab you dont need to fiddle with it again [02:15] Reformer81, now, I recall that when you right click on a drive there is some tab there with information about the mount point and options, but I've never used it... maybe it works for what you want. [02:15] That's what I did. [02:15] However, the driver is working, but the wireless card isn't listed. [02:15] Audacitee, doing it -- what is an inode? [02:16] Therefore making the point of my wireless driver null. [02:17] vocx: Ah.. never knew about that. Thank you; I'll look into that. [02:17] bonhoffer, it's part of the ext3 file system linux uses [02:17] donavan01: you could try this one it says it works with avi Application Information - Avidemux [02:17] Audacitee, o.k. [02:17] Reformer81 Edit fstab to mount your drive every boot [02:18] hey, where can i get some tuts or something how to customize my ubuntu? [02:18] !themes [02:18] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [02:18] Reformer81, do you have the mounter applet in the top panel? It lets me see every partition I have, and I can mount them with a single click. No need to mess with fstab either. [02:18] hey [02:18] I'm running 32 bit on a 64 bit machine, if that makes a difference... [02:18] but, i dont kinda wanna use themes.. :( [02:19] hi, image referred from wiki.ubuntu.com (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/htdocs/ubuntu/img/attach.png) is missing [02:19] how do I upgrade to the latest nvidia drivers? I think the latest version is 180.22, and the repos haven't been updated. [02:19] !remaster | dynamic_battery [02:19] dynamic_battery: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [02:19] someone should fix that [02:19] vocx: Hmm... the whole point of this is so Amarok can see my music collection.... but even when that drive is mounted, Amarok can't see it. So I guess I have more problems lol [02:19] Acer Aspire 4520 laptop [02:19] Reformer81, in fact, since this mounter applet now works perfectly for my needs, I no longer use the fstab to hard code the mount point, I let them automount to /media. I like it that way. [02:19] thanks n8tuserf ;) === DDrKPssNgR is now known as me [02:20] toxygen: Which page? === me is now known as DarkPassenger [02:20] Flannel: main page [02:20] Flannel: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ [02:21] third image from the left, in the middle of page [02:21] next to earth image [02:21] Reformer81, I've never liked the idea of a huge media application like that. I like minimalistic. [02:21] vocx: I just have so much music that I NEED some kind of organized player. [02:22] Hakume: the only other bit was that for some reason ath5k was not being automatically loaded; so I had you try 'sudo modprobe ath5k', but that isn't persistent [02:22] toxygen: I see a book, then a bug. [02:22] Ah. [02:22] Reformer81 : after the drive is mounted you need to rebuild the library in amarok oh and make sure it hads the correct path [02:23] Flannel: before book [02:23] linny1: I can't even direct Amarok TO the path... [02:23] Flannel: what icon do you have before book [02:23] Reformer81:whats stopping you ? [02:23] Reformer81, I've heard that's what Amarok and Rhythmbox do, but seriously... what kind of organization do you need? Can you just put them in albums and be done with it. Yeah I know, you probably have 500 GB of music so I don't know... [02:23] linny1: The path is /media/Media/Music ... I can get amarok to /media/Media.... but it shows it as empty. [02:23] hey i have a question [02:24] vocx: Well, not 500GB, but I do have close to 20 :P [02:24] oh resart amarok and try it ? [02:24] toxygen: The globe [02:24] It has been solved...again. [02:24] how do i update my graphics driver to the latest version? [02:24] my current repos don't have it [02:24] linny1: Nope... same thing. I can browse the location just fine, but Amarok is blind to it. [02:25] Flannel: exactly, there should be one more icon between them [02:25] lchi:what card and driver we are no psycic [02:25] Flannel: check source [02:25] Reformer81:hmmm [02:25] lchi, you can't, unless you compile the driver yourself, or update the distro. That's the simple answer. [02:25] lchi: either find some other repos or make you own (either package or directly) [02:25] Reformer81: 1 sec [02:25] toxygen: Alright. You might try informing the people in #ubuntu-doc [02:25] Reformer81:ill check mine my library is on separate disk too [02:25] can i change my repos to the jaunty repos for only my graphics driver? [02:26] So am I shit out of luck if I want to use RT2570 in Intrepid Ibex? [02:26] linny1: I'm using Amarok 2, btw [02:26] I am looking to get a new phone. Had a black berry, really liked it. Now I am looking at something with; with android, the new palm device, or an iphone. Suggestions? [02:26] ubuphone, what do you want to do with it? [02:26] linny1: Which, granted, is about as unstable a piece of software you can find, but its oh, so cool. :) === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [02:26] lchi, it is not advisable to do that. It's better to wait. Because drivers may need a slightly different version of X, or drm so things may break. [02:27] Flannel: ok, you could've told me that as first :) [02:27] max web interactivity, would be nice to ssh to my ubuntu box but i would bet most new phones have soemthing that i could run [02:27] Audacitee, all works -- thanks [02:27] hi [02:27] ubuphone, personally, i think the iphone has the best web experience [02:27] yeah, thats what i thouhg, been hearing rumblings about a new one. may wait a min to see if it comes out [02:27] oh s*** its 04:26 AM... Ill better go to sleep.. and do some customization after getting some sleep... :D [02:27] in hardy, evolution would wait (after say, a suspend/resume) for network-manager to be connected to a network before attempting to refresh IMAP folders. in intrepid it no longer does this. does anybody know a fix?

[02:32] pestilence: never saw that, what was it? [02:32] Palermo_:what type of raid do you want? [02:32] darn it says not valid >< [02:33] lenswipe: #ubuntu-mythtv [02:33] lenswipe, dynamic_battery htop is nicer to see the CPU/RAM usage but just typing top on the terminal will list your processes [02:33] pestilence: ok, ill try that... [02:33] ill just use the install/unstall tool.. :D [02:33] fearful, oh! these bars are part of gnome....i see...thanks a lot! :D [02:33] raid 0 [02:33] want it to see both as 1 drive combined storage [02:33] aranyik, your welcome [02:33] I should be getting some 1280x800 resolution but the highest I can choose goes up to 1024x768 -- I've got an Intel integrated graphics chip -- how am I supposed to install that correctly?

[02:35] fearful, so now i type htop instead of top in terminal? [02:35] AngryElf: you used to have to install an additional package, but it has been a while since i've used a intel graphics card [02:35] Palermo_: logical volume manager you will see as one volume but its no striped or anything [02:35] dynamic_battery, correct. [02:35] AngryElf: i believe the package was something like 810resolution or something [02:35] awesome!!!!! [02:35] linny1: how do i se that up?

[03:21] doxie: Did you have a support question we could help you with? [03:21] linny1: watch your mouth [03:21] linny1: Please don't [03:21] Flannel: nullmailer seems to lack a lot of features for my need. I'll check. esmtp [03:21] quit feeding the doxie troll [03:21] yeah linny1, stfu!

[03:23] cybercom: You should use rsync, which grsync is a frontend for. [03:23] i'm using grsync at tis moment [03:23] Flannel: [03:23] Flannel do you know anything about opengl? [03:23] I'm a total noob at bash scripting who's trying to get a 10-lines script doing its job - without success; would someone agree to share his mighty coding wisdom with me, and review my 10 lines to get it work finally ?

I've got a vga-vga connection between my laptop and my widescreen tv on intrepid. I can't seem to configure the two screens correctly. I can only view one at a time --- the screen on my tv works great now, but the one on my laptop is skewed and mis-shaped... what's up with that? [03:25] Flannel: about my problem .... any other option from that [03:25] Yang1: you could try asking that one in #ubuntu-server room. [03:25] google is not helping me find gmplayer key bindings examples...help? [03:26] cybercom: I'm sure there are other commad line sync programs sure. But why don't you want to use rsync? [03:26] is there any such thing as quality and somewhat cheap VR glasses yet? === katyusha is now known as yusha [03:26] Dmole: isn't that in /usr/share/doc/gmplayer? === Guest68354 is now known as erk71 === yusha is now known as katyusha [03:27] pestilence:"No such file or directory" [03:27] pestilence: well it seems that did not fix my problem [03:27] thanks redvamp128 [03:27] in fact, when i rebooted, the new kernal version doesn't even startup gdm correctly. [03:27] Dmole: sorry, look at /etc/mplayer/input.conf [03:27] Yang1: I am sure someone in that room should be able to help you configure the server and the client [03:28] pestilence: thanks :)) [03:28] daeo: you reinstalled libpam-smbpass ? [03:28] redvamp128: thanks i just need some help with passing parameters though but thanks [03:28] Hi. Is there a simple binary clock panel app for gnome, like what is available on the kubuntu desktop? [03:28] pestilence: i don't get the error anymore but it still goes right back to login prompt [03:28] pestilence: yes i did [03:28] daeo: is ubuntu-desktop installed? [03:29] pestilence: you would think so, but lets find out [03:29] redvamp128, he is talking about commercial proprietary software, I would actually say that its unlikely [03:29] pestilence: yes it is [03:29] erk71: install screenlets :) [03:29] Hi there, For some reason all of a sudden I am having major issues with upgrading deluge-torrent. Here's what happens when I try to do apt-get upgrade: http://dpaste.com/1252/ .. I've tried apt-get install -f with no luck (same error) .. any tips? [03:30] pestilence: also, if i try to boot directly to shell, greeter crashes and before I even get the login screen, my monitor is set to above 1280x1024, how can i change the default resolution for the shell? [03:30] Flannel: i use grsync to sync my data from my old backup machine to a new high end backup machine.... and i'm doing it manually everyday ...... so what i need is i want it to be automatically sync all my data every morning and send me a log of the results after the sync is successfull. [03:30] daeo: look at ~/.xsession-errors [03:30] pestilence: ok [03:30] bartek: you are using PPA, non-ubuntu packages [03:30] bartek: are you mixing repos? [03:31] savvas: right, just the one for deluge-torrent [03:31] I never had an issue until today, so it confuses me [03:31] pestilence: this looks like it: ** (nautilus:5923): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Not supported [03:31] gnome-session: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.

[03:31] bartek: try this: sudo apt-get install --reinstall deluge deluge-common deluge-core [03:32] daeo: try "the google" [03:32] savvas: thanks, i will try that! [03:32] Flannel: are you there????? [03:32] Has anyone noticed Ubuntu slowing in speed and stability from 7.04 -> 8.10? And will Canonical be focusing on speed and reliability for their 9.04 release instead of *just* updating packages? [03:32] savvas: same error :/ [03:32] bartek: if it doesn't work, you should /join #deluge [03:32] alright, thanks [03:32] cybercom: right. Why don't you want to use rsync? [03:33] bartek: I don't know if this will help you but getdeb.net has 1.1.3 and its in a .deb Application Information - Deluge [03:33] to sync my data [03:33] Flannel: [03:33] cybercom: That doesn't make sense? [03:33] tats y i use the rsync [03:33] Bootup speed in jaunty is fast - much faster than 8.04 [03:33] nyx This is support.. try #ubuntu-offtopic for discussions etc [03:33] y? [03:33] redvamp128: thanks for the link :) [03:33] cybercom: rsync will work, and will work with cron too. [03:33] Flannel: y? [03:33] pestilence: this looks promising, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=830531 [03:34] but it doesnt [03:34] bartek: though you may have to uninstall the prior version and install the current [03:34] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks [03:34] np [03:34] ok i give u the command in the paste [03:34] cybercom: grsync won't wok with cron. rsync will. [03:34] pestilence: this sound safe -> rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [03:34] ooo ok [03:34] daeo, pestilence: there's no reason to include the -f [03:34] daeo yes [03:35] i am looking at a ubuntu forums post [03:35] so, what is the solution Flannel [03:35] bartek: try with aptitude: sudo aptitude reinstall deluge deluge-common deluge-core [03:35] ill try it and reboot [03:35] cybercom: Use rsync [03:35] cybercom, +1 rsync [03:35] daeo: yea. NOT. [03:35] but grsync is the GUI based [03:36] great, he already did it :-D [03:36] also the its based on the rsync [03:36] savvas: I found it, it was a deluge issue, on their forums they provided a temp solution [03:36] cybercom: Yes. You'll have to use rsync. What are you having trouble following? [03:36] To Reset All of Gnome: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ In terminal type: rm -r .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [03:36] cybercom, many of the helpers here are more familur with CLI application and can assist you better that way [03:36] !ping [03:36] !ping [03:36] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [03:36] cybercom, and like flannel is pointing out, GUI application often have limitations that the CLI back end does not [03:37] but i'm not expert in the rsync ...... its all based in the command rite [03:37] Jack_Sparrow: it is better to have people just move files like that out of the way [03:37] Flannel: [03:37] !ask | solid_liquid [03:37] solid_liquid: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:37] Jack_Sparrow: that way, if they find "my favorite settings that i spent years perfecting" are now missing, it is easy to restor [03:38] pestilence: that didn't work [03:38] pestilence: the command worked obviously but it did not resolve my issue [03:38] daeo: ok. did you see this one http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5841400&postcount=6 [03:38] cybercom: Yes, any program you use cron with will be command line. You may see if grsync has an ability to output an rsync command for you (which seems like a long shot, but who knows). If not, you'll need to figure out rsync (at least a little bit) [03:38] cybercom, rsync is not difficutlt.... rsync [options] [03:38] pestilence Noted.. but people should also have backups and things like that. If you spent years perfecting your settings I would assume you backed them up and knew how to restore them [03:39] is there a way to purge your memory? in windows I used to have a program that freed up memory that was being used, but was still reserved for programs that were closed [03:39] to get xplane to play on my 64bit ubuntu os, i had to copy over some 32bit shared libraries. Is there a way to avoid this when creating a 32bit game? [03:39] cybercom: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync covers some stuff [03:39] Jack_Sparrow: sure. but you will soon realize that virtually nobody in here actually has backups. [03:39] madmike, not necessary, linux has good memory management, windows doesn't. [03:39] madmike: Linux uses memory differently [03:39] pestilence I am aware. I have been here for years [03:39] madmike, that defeats the purpose of memory doesn't it? [03:39] Jack_Sparrow: k :-D [03:40] pestilence: trying it now.. but im not finding the file it talks about... [03:40] madmike, if something else needs to space of a closed application, linux will give clear it up [03:40] madmike, but it stays there in case you open the app again [03:40] sorta [03:40] eross, if it doesnt come in 64 bit then, theres basically two options 1 copying 32bit libs and 2 creating a 32bit chroot environment [03:40] pestilence, not only is that bad advice... backup is the first word in responsible computing, but why would you want to be known a a barren scourge? [03:40] any memory not in use by a process is used as disk cache. [03:40] lol, i mean, i know it has better management, but it still uses more memory after it's been on a while, even if I haven't done anything. But I'll take that as a no :) Thanks [03:40] madmike, then you need to close whatever apps are using more and more memory :-D [03:40] f_newton: excuse me? [03:41] madmike: Yeah, that's because it uses memory differently as a kind of cache. [03:41] madmike: Unused memory is wasted memory. It'll grab stuff it thinks it might need and stick them in memory [03:41] thanks Flannel ... will look on it [03:41] pestilence: ok i removed it, rebooting again. [03:41] alright, i didn't know that [03:41] pestilence..... a scourge of disease baring insects [03:41] f_newton: if you look back, i wasn't advocating against backups. [03:41] like pre-fetching [03:41] like super-mega-prefetch-everything or whatever they call it on windows [03:41] thanks again [03:41] well I am just saying that suggesting people dont do backups is not really a good thing [03:42] f_newton: i was just acknowledging that most people are irresponsible [03:42] i have nothing worth backing up [03:42] f_newton no one is suggesting you NOT do backups [03:42] it can all be downloaded again :) [03:42] madmike How is that old timex Sinclair working these days [03:43] well ... back up backup BackUp... [03:43] Ive got a sinclair! [03:43] Jack_Sparrow: I'm guessing that was a joke, and i didn't get it :( [03:43] madmike np.. f_newton did [03:43] f_newton, oh, great little machine... [03:43] lol for what? [03:44] Sorry all, I did not mean to start a bunch of offtopic [03:44] my commadore was a good little machine [03:44] tsk tsk tsk [03:44] was it an old computer type or something? [03:44] oh ok [03:44] i get it now [03:44] http://pastebin.com/m6555139d << help [03:44] how do i install and configure samba?

[03:44] eross: there are 32-bit libraries for 64-bit ubuntu: ia32-libs - you have to use linux32 when running it, e.g.: linux32 sh ./somescript [03:44] no dice [03:44] Is there a way to manually choose the sound output between the speakers and headset regardless of the presence/absence of a headset? [03:44] hotbabysexy Please dont do that [03:44] Hey anyone have any innformation about ventrilo in wine not getting anything in #winehq [03:45] is there a way to output the time a process has taken after it's finished [03:45] eross, also theres a great little utility around on the web getlibs, it looks at what 32 libraries are used by an app and downloads them for you [03:45] my brother had an amiga and I had a commadore 64 [03:45] Tr3y-: Rogue Games ring a bell?

[03:46] pestilence: i'd hate to have to reinstall.. took 30 mins of my time [03:46] how do i install and configure samba? [03:46] Tr3y-: nevermind, you have name similar to friend of mine [03:46] Tr3y-: he uses ubuntu also [03:46] daeo: ahh Was going to say I played a rogue :-P [03:46] daeo: in wow lol [03:46] daeo: dunno. one of those posts made it seem like a problem with ATI drivers. do you have an ATI card? [03:47] Paco_Paco, samba has a pretty good website documentation page set up [03:47] pestilence: >.> and if i said yes? [03:47] !samba | Paco_Paco [03:47] pestilence: yeah i do [03:47] Paco_Paco: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [03:47] !samba | Paco_Paco [03:47] pestilence: pos x200 onboard [03:47] daeo: do you have the proprietary drivers installed? i know nothing about ATI drivers, though [03:47] they redirected me to this channel in #samba f_newton [03:47] you could probably get it to work using the vesa drivers [03:48] its distro specific [03:48] Im running an ati and the ubuntu driver is better then the ati proprietary driver for my card [03:48] Paco_Paco: sudo aptitude install samba [03:48] pestilence: i wish i knew... as i just installed and ubuntu in its awesome glory installed on its own [03:48] Paco_Paco, excuse me? [03:48] Paco_Paco: then it is no longer distro specific. [03:48] pestilence the installing isnt the issue its the configuring [03:48] tr3y what's the problem with Vent on wine? Specifically? [03:48] i want to install drivers for my intel g31/33 chipset.. can anyone kindly help me please [03:48] Paco_Paco: i don't think configuring is distro specific [03:48] kavinsky: can't get gsm to work anymore [03:48] Paco_Paco: then if it's the configurin, it isn't really distro specific [03:49] installation managers are distro specific [03:49] kavinsky: also getting no real sound through the speex codec [03:49] daeo: i think you have to install the "restricted" drivers. google that. [03:49] packages for linux are pretty much distro inclusive [03:49] i am not here to debate semantics [03:49] we're just trying to say that they blew you off, Paco_Paco [03:49] basically [03:49] go back there and tell them we told you that [03:50] are these drivers provoded by intel? [03:50] Having some trouble getting ubuntu to read my dvd drive, shows the drive but when i open it, it says unable to mount location [03:50] Paco_Paco: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html [03:50] pestilence, he'll get booted and he may need their help later [03:50] pestilence: this -> ?? http://www.michaellarabel.com/index.php?k=blog&i=114 [03:50] ty Flannel [03:50] pestilence: i don't have this option [03:50] Paco_Paco, you can use google ya know... it works [03:50] Paco_Paco: for what its worth, Titan8990 gave you that answer a few minutes ago. [03:50] !ati [03:50] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:50] not really i am in china yahoo and google violate human rights [03:51] daeo: ^^^^ [03:51] in particular, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [03:51] following !! [03:52] Paco_Paco, google is a major supporter of open source applications [03:52] Titan8990, yeah, i think android is open too [03:52] rdw200169, it is, they recently got xserver to run on it [03:53] Titan8990 so? [03:53] !offtopic [03:53] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:53] thanks guys this looks promising! [03:53] Paco_Paco, so companies like google, novell, and etc need to be supported if linux is to succeed in the desktop market [03:53] this isnt the place to discuss politics, so you should have posted that offtopic command the instant f_newton told me to google it Flannel [03:54] google is offtopic also [03:54] Paco_Paco: Now it's just getting offtopic even more. No need to debate it, you've got a solution now. [03:54] Ubuntu is on topic, so please cease the semantics discussion. [03:54] Paco_Paco: He's already been dealt with, actually. [03:54] i'm sorry for being offtopic [03:56] Are there any horror stories about ntfs-3g? My brother reported one, but it's starting to sound like El Chupacabras or a UFO sighting to me... all the alleged evidence is blurry and out of focus. [03:56] I plan to build a HTPC, I"m wondering if Ubuntu can handle the HDMI out for the ATI HD 3450 [03:56] Mean_Admin, yes, but nvidia offers better support on linux [03:57] Titan8990: is it worth shelling out more ? [03:57] wow, it looked promising until the 2nd command gave me an error [03:58] and it looks like i can only do this is normal mode not safe mode [03:58] Mean_Admin: personally, I think so. Also, for a HTPC, you don't need 3D acceleration, and a mobo with integrated graphics such as the GeForce 9300 or 9400 would do quite adequately. [03:58] which is crazy [03:58] Why can't Adobe or canonical make it easy to install flash? md5 sum. Some people don't know how to use wget. =P [03:58] Marfi: The flash package means you don't have to use wget. [03:58] is there a reason ubuntu would see the dvd drive and everything but not be able to read media put in? [03:58] Marfi: install flashplugin-nonfree [03:58] Marfi: it has been made easy [03:58] Flannel: I know, but it will kick back an md5 error from tiem to time [03:59] tritium: so basically any card with HDMI will do ? [03:59] Mean_Admin, actually, the top chipset for HTPC is the 780G, unfortunatly, its linux support is not great [03:59] Marfi: that's because adobe is too dumb to version their tarballs [03:59] Mean_Admin, but I have seen reviews to show that integrated chips are fine [03:59] savvas: tritium did that and got an md5 sum. crdlb [03:59] Mean_Admin: no, newer chipsets support H.264 better. I'd get a very recent nVidia card, or ATI. [03:59] Marfi: not anymore, there are talks to host flash on canonical partner archive [03:59] I know that everyone, I'm just saying. Some people don't know how to get it to work without the easy way. =) [03:59] savvas: that would be amazing [04:00] Marfi: If you knew that, why did you bring it up in this channel? [04:00] Titan8990: yeah I have motherboard without integrated graphics, and I need a card and since it's not for games but for HTPC, I'm looking for stuff that can render 1080p with HDMI out [04:00] ubottu: i followed the how to and encountered an issue not covered on the "How-To" [04:00] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:00] Marfi: i think it's already being hosted, enable canonical partner from System > Administration > Soft. Sources > Third-party software [04:00] So everyone thinks that ntfs-3g works marvelously? [04:00] sfer21: because I am giving the channel a heads up [04:00] JordiGH: YES! [04:00] Mean_Admin, AMD 780G can [04:01] pestilence: the "How-To" didn't work [04:01] Marfi: I'll have to figure out how my brother claims that Windows Vista erased some files during some sort of scan which he put in there from Linux... :-/ [04:01] Titan8990: ok, em, any ati card with the amd 780g chipset ? [04:01] savvas: so is that one put out by adobe and canonical, or just canonical? [04:01] Mean_Admin, the card would void the chipset..... [04:01] JordiGH: MS hates Linux [04:01] Titan8990: actually, the nVidia 9400 is the top chipset now [04:02] Marfi: I don't know :) [04:02] Marfi: But could it have actually happened? [04:02] Marfi: you don't need a card unless your current mobo doesnt' have an adequate IGP [04:02] Trying to run an application in a terminal from the gnome panel, I get this when running it "Failed to execute child process -x" [04:02] I'm really not looking for top, I just want it to output HDMI/DVI and have a 1080p resolution :( [04:02] hi.i want to install linux kernel 2.6.25 [04:02] JordiGH: files being deleted from windows scannign linux, or linux scanning windows? [04:02] Mean_Admin, there ya go, nvidia 9400 [04:02] iam running ubuntu [04:02] and work with linux, of course :S [04:02] Titan8990: thanks [04:02] Marfi: Windows scanning the ntfs drive to which ntfs-3g wrote. [04:02] Mean_Admin, but what we are suggesting is cheaper than you are spending with the ati card.... [04:02] Titan8990: can't I go with the 8400 since it's basically the same thing (or so the great powers that be say) ? [04:02] People, why if can't access to irc.blackhat.ru???? [04:03] Marfi: adobe-flashplugin is Adobe's: http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/ - ubuntu uses flashplugin-nonfree [04:03] Mean_Admin, we are talking about chipsets, not discrete cards [04:03] savvas: then what is the flashplugin-nonfree? [04:03] my question is will it mess up my ubuntu O/S if i install linux kernel 2.6.25 on my ubuntu? [04:03] Mean_Admin: phoronix.com is a good resource [04:03] pestilence: getting this error now after following "How-To" --> insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko': -1 Operation not permitted [04:03] Marfi: debian: http://packages.qa.debian.org/flashplugin-nonfree [04:03] When i try access to irc.blackhat.ru, say in the scrren "there isn't route to server." [04:03] JordiGH: If anything, you would have lost files on the Linux side. Windows shouldn't have scanned, though [04:04] why? [04:04] i have 8.04 now and was looking into changing to 8.10 but can i take my installed files i have on 8.04 and put them on 8.10 [04:04] tritium: thanks ! [04:04] Mean_Admin: this isn't too old to be useful: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_hdmi&num=1 [04:04] hello [04:04] you there?

Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:04] Titan8990: ok sorry I though you meant the 9400 model [04:04] Marfi: I'm confused, then. "Can't reproduce". I'll have to ask him again what exactly he did and saw. [04:04] !hi | hotbabysexy [04:04] hotbabysexy: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [04:04] nobody here but us geeks.

[04:05] hotbabysexy: Why do you need to? === JordiGH is now known as nicebodchick [04:05] Hello [04:05] If you don't need to, don't mess with it. [04:05] JordiGH: ntfs-3g is in Linux. Imo...it works better than MS's ntfs. there is always a possibility of data being lost, but i don't see him looseing specific files [04:05] Nice try, JordiGH ;) [04:05] hotbabysexy: why would you do that? 2.6.27 is the current kernel in intrepid [04:05] Marfi: Yeah, it's really weird. I'm gonna have to interrogate him. [04:06] http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/devices/xref.html << i want to compile the code which only works with 2.6.25 [04:06] Marfi: i just tryed that but it says im already updated [04:06] !upgrade | ENERGIZE [04:06] ENERGIZE: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [04:07] ENERGIZE: if you're already updated, then check to see what version; lsb_release -a [04:07] tritium: that article is basically saying 'chances are if you have ati 2000 series or up and you're fine" [04:08] Mean_Admin: not exactly. In fact, I'd advise you to go for nVidia over ATI. [04:08] tritium: all righty then [04:09] anyone have a problem with komodo edit? [04:09] hey guys, im trying to install the binary nvidia driver but the process crashes when trying to compile it, is anyone using it with the latest ubuntu ?

The hd is formated as ntfs, and i would like to have it as read & write accessible. how can i get ubu-server to allow this?

[05:03] sudo apt-get install gparted [05:03] okay. [05:03] cybercom, its not magic [05:03] cybercom, I recommend setting up an rsync daemon on the computer that will be recieving the files [05:03] Titan8990: ya its not but ...... wa [05:04] oo ok [05:04] what is up? [05:04] isit can be run automate [05:04] cybercom, then your command will look like this: rsync -av /path/to/files 192.168.1.x:mybackup [05:04] Peddy, put xterm & in ~/.xinitrc [05:04] Hey guys - I was getting a cannot start X on my ubuntu, so I booted into recovery mode, removed gdm and now I can't install it because I don't have a network connection - what can I do? [05:05] then sudo gparted [05:05] cybercom, then you will add that to a text file, make it executable, then edit cron [05:05] !cron | cybercom [05:05] cybercom: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [05:05] okay [05:05] Peddy, problem is i think .xinitrc is ignored completely when you're running gnome or kde [05:05] then find the HD and mount [05:06] usser, its not a gnome/kde thing, its a log-in manager thing that ignores .xinitrc [05:06] to answer my own question, something like "nautilus -q && nautilus &" should restart it safely. Seems to have worked now. [05:06] Titan8990, hm gdm, kdm, xdm?

[05:09] im running ubuntu-server [05:09] no gui installed, only command line. [05:09] usser, no, it's hacky (it's not meant to have a terminal at all, it's Asus' Expressgate) [05:09] Hey guys, what can i do if /etc/fstab is gone? [05:10] cybercom, I don't get you... you changed my command and your question doesn't make sense [05:10] did u type in terminal "sudo gparted"? [05:10] Nytrix, yes. [05:10] xMopx look for /etc/fstab~ [05:10] rsync -r -n -t -o -g -v --progress /home/cybercom/.gvfs/cybercom on 192.168.89.55/ /media/disk/backup [05:10] then inserted you password? [05:10] yes. [05:10] xMopx: or ~fstab [05:10] this is the command that i get from grsync [05:10] Flannel=> i used the interfaces file to set up the static IP but now ubuntu doesnt detect the adapter at all... [05:10] how to convert it to rsync [05:10] and it just stays command line? nothing pops up? [05:11] Izinucs: Thanks, but neither are showing up =( [05:11] Nytrix, (gpartedbin:5369): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [05:11] Titan8990: [05:11] hmm [05:11] Peddy, i suppose you could get xterm sources and try to compile it, im not sure how it'll work cause you'll need to link to tinyx libraries use its .h files, sounds like you're in for one hell of a ride [05:11] wierd [05:11] xMopx: did you do something to make it disappear? [05:11] cybercom, I can't comprehend how that command could possibly work because it is illogical [05:11] cybercom, I am telling you the way I know how to do it [05:12] Izinucs: I don't think so - I've had ubuntu booting from a flash card for a few weeks, and this issue came up today [05:12] usser, according to some people I need a statically linked xterm, how would I achieve this? [05:12] Titan8990: ok guide me [05:12] cybercom, you can choose to do it my way or continue to do what you are doing, its your choice [05:12] how to do it [05:12] Nytrix, gparted is not working! [05:12] on ubuntu server 8.10 [05:12] Peddy, whats the architecture of the device? is it intel, arm? [05:12] cybercom, are both machines running linux? [05:12] yup [05:12] usser, intel [05:12] !rsync [05:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync [05:12] without gtk gui. [05:13] Cyntek, sudo apt-get remove gparted [05:13] Alright. [05:13] usser, it's like an embedded linux in my main motherboard, which boots in 3 seconds.

[05:14] i tried tat 1 but the command "sudo rsync --delete -azvv -e ssh /home [05:14] is this gonna [05:14] hey can i get some help setting up ubuntu server as a gateway [05:14] Peddy, you can try the binary [05:14] Peddy, hang on [05:15] ok im having some problems with my IPtables... right now my server does not have internet access when i apply the rules... i am wondering if anyone knows what i need to set to ensure my server has internet [05:15] cybercom, that wasn't what I was talking about but just for sake of getting you through this, we will use ssh [05:15] Hey there. Ubuntu keeps corrupting my microsd card on my blackberry when I unplug it. It doesn't recognise it half the time. Anyone know what's going on? How I can fix this? [05:15] cybercom, on the destination machine do: sudo apt-get install open-ssh [05:15] Peddy, http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Terminals/xterm-1781.shtml [05:15] JOIN #UBUNTU-SERVER [05:15] I am working on a system_info.sh script. Please test the current version http://paste.ubuntu.com/122672 [05:15] usser, I had a look there, it's the source [05:15] ok [05:15] Nytrix, okay [05:16] usser, someone said I need to 'USE='static' emerge xterm && qpkg x11-terms/xterm', what does that mean? [05:17] Peddy, that is for gentoo linux or freebsd only === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [05:17] Peddy, ubuntu does not use USE flags, emerge, or qpkg [05:17] Peddy, thats from gentoo, it basically build an xterm binary statically linked, if your motherboard runs gentoo its the way to go [05:17] Titan8990, ah, thanks. [05:17] anyone, how do i save a specific program that is already installed so i wont have to config everything all over again for another pc? [05:17] Peddy, if not then that command is not much use [05:18] usser, ah, so he meant to *build* a static xterm [05:18] !clonning | Nytrix [05:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about clonning [05:18] !clone | Nytrix [05:18] Nytrix: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [05:18] Nytrix, ehh, backup the config files? [05:18] usser, how would I build a static xterm in ubuntu? [05:18] Nytrix, or look into how to build your own .deb files [05:19] Peddy, yea basically but it wouldnt matter if you build it statically or not, it still has to link to your X server libraries. Its just that in case of static compilation all the libraries are going to be compiled into xterm executable thus making it bigger [05:19] Peddy, i suppose you could compile it statically on a gentoo box like that, and then copy over the resulting executable [05:20] usser, does it have to be gentoo, or is there a Windows equivalent? [05:20] Peddy, no windows [05:20] Peddy, regarding ubuntu: sudo apt-get source xterm [05:20] usser, does it have to be gentoo, or is there a Ubuntu equivalent* [05:20] I don't even use Windows, what was I talking about -.- [05:21] Peddy, yes sure use above command to obtain source file [05:21] *files [05:21] Peddy, there is not ubuntu equivilent of the gentoo package manager, but USE flags can still be used when compiling from source [05:21] Peddy, it is rather difficult without the portage package manager though [05:21] I am working on a system_info.sh4script. Please someone test the current version http://paste.ubuntu.com/122672 [05:22] Titan8990, I meant an 'equivalent' to that command :) but thanks for the info, how would I use those flags? configure --use=static? :P [05:22] Peddy, actually you dont have to use sudo to obtain source [05:22] Here's my syslog when I unplugged my blackberry. It corrupted my filesystem. Anyone know how I can fix this? http://pastebin.com/m44b7606a [05:22] Peddy, once you get the source go through usual ./configure, make cycle [05:22] usser, yeah, if you do it messes up permissions :) [05:22] Peddy, you would have to edit the makefile [05:23] Peddy, make should have a whole bunch of options among which im sure is statically compile all libs [05:23] usser, how would I set these options? [05:24] Peddy, also if ./configure complains about missing libraries etc. use sudo apt-get build-dep xterm to obtain all the packages xterm depends on for compilation [05:24] Titan8990, how should I edit the makefile? [05:24] Peddy, I prefer nano [05:24] Titan8990, which parts should I change? [05:25] Peddy, usually make --statically-link-or-something-like-that --with-colors --with-scrollbar. you basically just pass parameters to make script, or you can modify the Makefile in the root of your xterm sourcecode directory [05:25] Peddy, not entirely sure [05:26] usser, I see a bunch of options, but nothing static-related... [05:26] I have a SATA 2, 500GB WD. When I attach it, I got something like "{ DRY ERROR }" and "{ DRY }" at bootup or during any operation. Do I need a special kernel module to support sata disks? It does show up in fdisk -l.

[05:27] Peddy, hang on let me download the source i'll try to compile it over here [05:29] usser, thank you :) [05:30] usser, I'm going to try rxvt as well [05:30] What's a good video editing program? [05:31] I have a keyboard with no FKey, is there a way to boot in runlevel 1 without a FKey? [05:32] mobodo: hit escape to access the GRUB menu, then choose 'recovery console' [05:32] thanks :) [05:33] usser, rxvt has the exact same make options.

[05:35] can someone help me configure lirc, irw doesnt report any errors but it doestn show my key presses [05:35] Peddy, compiling on 64 bit will produce 64 bit executable which will fail on 32 bit yes [05:36] Mal3ko, ssh@ipaddress [05:36] Mal3ko, then it asks for password [05:36] usser, are you on 32-bit? [05:36] Titan8990, no switch for supplying the password? [05:36] Mal3ko, if you don't want to it ask for a password (for automated scripting) you need to configure public key authentication [05:36] Peddy, yea [05:36] Mal3ko, no [05:36] Does anyone know if jaunty can be installed on a GPT disk withough a EFI chip? [05:36] Mal3ko, they try to keep ssh very secure [05:37] oic.. [05:37] usser, would it be too much trouble to ask you to compile rxvt statically for me? I'd *really* appreciate it, because I have no access to a 32-bit machine. [05:37] Peddy, hang one [05:37] except, of course, the embedded thing, but I can't compile anything on that. [05:38] with mdadm, if you --fail --remove a device, and --add it back will it show up as a spare until its finished rebuilding? [05:38] Peddy, cant find that --enable-static option [05:39] Peddy, its not listed as an flag to ./configure [05:39] usser, oh no, I thought that if configure doesn't fail it means it configured sucessfully... but it doesn't return errors even when random stuff is entered. [05:40] Peddy, yep [05:40] as a flag [05:40] hm [05:41] !jaunty [05:41] Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [05:41] Can anybody suggest a good VNC flavor for Ubuntu? Right now I'm using the standard "Remote Desktop" which seems to be a decent remake of VNC, but is it the best? [05:41] usser, I'm going to look at some different approaches to getting a terminal, thanks for your help :) [05:42] !best ! Peddy [05:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about best ! Peddy [05:42] Peddy, hang on one sec [05:42] !best | Peddy [05:42] Peddy: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [05:43] peddy, maybe tightvnc [05:43] Nytrix, you don't understand what we've been talking about :) [05:43] Nytrix: while I would agree there is usually no "best" tightvnc is a great choice for most people [05:43] usser, ok. [05:45] Peddy, i got it, never done much compiling it was a compiler flag in the environment variable $CFLAGS that you have to set [05:45] :-) [05:45] usser, what is the variable? [05:46] I got some software that I run on ubuntu that is a .bin file and I want to make it so I can add an launcher icon instead of always having to do run it in a terminal how do I do this? [05:47] what's the partition code for XFS when I am doing it in fdisk? [05:47] #xubuntu [05:48] Peddy, its an environent variable that a compiler parses every time it compiles it basically tells it with what options to compile [05:48] usser, I mean, what *is* the variable :) [05:48] Peddy, how can i send it to you [05:48] so I can set it [05:48] Peddy, $CFLAGS [05:48] usser, I'll PM you [05:49] Peddy, im not registered so i dont think i can send files === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [05:50] What codec for Mplayer I need to play .mkv?

[05:55] MrPocketz, agreed, which is why one of my computers still has a crappy copy of windows on it [05:55] Uplink_: there is instruction on opendns.com [05:55] ty [05:56] yeup, i've got a dualboot for when I get the itch [05:56] MrPocketz, windows is nothing more than a gaming system to me now.... [05:56] yessah [05:56] the directory /usr is where programs i DL go yes? [05:56] is there a logfile somewhere while a terminal session is open that displays everything that is printed out? [05:57] MrPocketz, /usr/ often contains application binaries, yes [05:57] christian_: no [05:57] MrPocketz, the binary goes there, however there may be other locations where the rest of the files go [05:57] i need to know where Azureas just DL's to so i can point my .torrents to the right application [05:57] hello [05:57] ;P [05:57] so if something was printed out, and then I deleted the file, and it has gone up past the point where I can scroll, it is gone forever? [05:57] MrPocketz, run the command: which azureas [05:57] MrPocketz, first I'm going to recommend using a different BitTorrent client. That being said, Check Azureus' settings [05:58] christian_: yes, that buffer is stored in memory [05:58] Huufarted, i've alwys used it, no problems. What do you use? [05:58] MrPocketz, and with what Huufarted, I personally like transmission [05:58] <_VIM_> christian_: with Konsole you can have unlimited buffer :) [05:58] crdlb, is there anywhere I might try looking for that information? Or is it just gone/binary in memory only [05:58] _VIM_, what is console? I am guessing it is something that I have to set up before hand? [05:58] MrPocketz, honestly I haven't in Linux yet, but if it's anything like Windows, it's a disgusting implementation with it's Java usage [05:59] oh gosd [05:59] yeah [05:59] no [05:59] <_VIM_> christian_: sudo apt-get install konsole then in konsole's preferences you can set unlimited buffer === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [05:59] hundreds of megabytes of RAM easily [05:59] hah, Vuse (what they call Azureas for windows) actually raped my dads box last night [05:59] and if it was over SSH, then is that transmission also gone, i.e. printed and then deleted? [05:59] MrPocketz, yeah, just do: sudo apt-get install transmission [06:00] within 5 minutes of running it my IDS started spitting out logs of attempted proxy connections and trojan deployments [06:00] Titan8990! There you are. I got my rsync situation handled no problem. [06:00] christian_, if you have a need to keep that, you can always direct stdio to a file [06:00] Huufarted, good to hear :) [06:00] Titan8990, check this out. You might like this. http://www.brentnorris.net/rsyncntdoc.html [06:01] gentoo installs just fine.... ;-) [06:01] BTW [06:01] Huufarted, nice, had to give up on delta copy? [06:01] Titan8990, it's not as pretty as your implementation, but it works incredibly. I also removed my Fat32 partition and moved it all to Ext3. [06:01] Titan8990, I don't know the deal with DeltaCopy. the rsync daemon REFUSED to load on that PC, but it did on all the others [06:02] Huufarted, odd [06:02] Titan8990, agreed. Either way, this one uses a very simplified wrapper and it works incredibly well. [06:03] Huufarted, I have done something similar before to get ssh to run on a window server 2003 for openvpn [06:03] Titan8990, this is really strange and something I'm working on. Transfers from that PC using rsync pulls about 10-12 MB/second max (usually 7-8MB/sec) and it's on 100 MBit. [06:04] Huufarted, thats actually about right [06:04] 2 PCs both with Gigabit, attached directly with a single cable pull about 6-7 MB MAX. [06:04] Huufarted, I have never seen any protocol pull much more than that on gbit network [06:05] Huufarted, I personally don't know the bottleneck is either [06:05] Titan8990, gigabit should be able to push 100 MB/sec easily [06:05] Titan8990, No, I'm not asking for help, I was just mentioning it. :) Small talk I suppose. I suck at it. [06:05] Huufarted, you would think, but your drives can only handle 30-60 mb/s [06:05] yeah, that's true. [06:06] Huufarted, I am also not good with small talk, a bit easier when both are geeks though :P [06:06] hahahaha [06:11] hello [06:11] hi i was using dreamweaver for web development ...is there any other editor for linux which provides functionality like dreamweaver [06:12] what?! no parprouted package for dapper (it's LTS! for pete's sake). dang. looks like i have to update dapper to hardy (another LTS) soon. :/ [06:13] how do I make a script so I can run a .bin file from desktop?

I can't seem to get it launched [06:35] the ubuntu installer doesn't seem to detect my XP installation and doesn't offer to resize it's NTFS partition. What might be causing this?

[07:11] goodbye xcompmgr :-( [07:11] Ademan: basically an integrated xcompgr :P [07:12] lol [07:12] copypasta [07:12] <|HSO|SadiQ> crdlb, I don't even know how to enable it...no compositing line in xorg also [07:13] |HSO|SadiQ, you may have to add the line yourself [07:13] |HSO|SadiQ, I did, had to add the whole section actually [07:13] Titan8990, Done I have replaced the Xorg.conf what now? [07:13] Dadda yes [07:13] <|HSO|SadiQ> Titan8990, can u paste those lines please === cafuego_ is now known as cafuego [07:14] |HSO|SadiQ, yes, let me finish helping dadda [07:14] |HSO|SadiQ: it's probably unrelated to compositing [07:14] dadda, alright, if this doesn't work to referse the settings we made: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:14] glitsj16? [07:15] dadda, hit CTRL+ATL+backspace to restart xserver [07:15] dadda, and you should then be using the open source radeon drivers [07:15] hi [07:15] how do you tell cp cmd to overwrite all files? [07:15] overwrite all existing files in dest [07:15] jmatrix y know lots about linux? [07:16] twain: i use an add-on for all things tab-related in firefox, tab mix plus .. but there are numerous others available, try to install one and play with the settings i'd suggest [07:16] Hi,everyone,please recommend a IRC Room that studying machine vision,Thank you. [07:16] |HSO|SadiQ, Section "Extensions" [07:16] Option "Composite" "Enable" [07:16] EndSection [07:16] glitsj16 can i send file to you so u can see picture [07:16] <|HSO|SadiQ> Titan8990, I'll paste those an log out [07:16] april 23 [07:16] Dadda : install proprietary fglrx drivers they work niceley [07:16] Titan8990: he doesn't want compositing [07:16] cant wait [07:17] crdlb, thats what he asked me for??? [07:17] twain: can't stop you from posting a url with a screenshot :) [07:17] |HSO|SadiQ: the composite extension is already enabled, but it doesn't really do anything unless you enable effects [07:17] Do I need to run a 64 bit system to use more than 3.2GB of ram? [07:17] Titan8990, correct resolution on my monitor but my desktop manager are not useing my entire monitor [07:18] is wget available in a fresh install? [07:18] twain: you can change the tab button behavior in about:config -> button [07:18] dadda, does your monitor have an auto-adjust feature? [07:18] Titan8990: he has blank ttys with the nvidia driver and I thought it might have been caused by having a compositing manager enabled [07:18] hmw: yes [07:18] Titan8990, [07:18] which isn't the case, apparently [07:18] 郁闷。 [07:18] glitsj16 it jpg file.. [07:18] clearzen: yup [07:18] Titan8990, Yes running it now [07:18] How would I remove the first 32 bytes of a file? [07:18] Titan8990, It still looks the same [07:18] twain: ardchoille answered your question [07:18] glitsj16: hmm, Well I guess I need to reinstall *sigh* [07:18] <|HSO|SadiQ> crdlb, so...any other aproach to my tty's problem besides compositing? [07:19] How much ram can I run with a 64bit OS? [07:19] dadda, try a full reboot, if it doesn't work, I have one more idea [07:19] ok [07:19] rebooting [07:19] clearzen, more than any modern board can handle [07:19] anyone knows how to compare two params file which is generated after building a testcase? [07:19] |HSO|SadiQ: get nvidia to fix their driver? :/ [07:20] clearzen: a few Tbs [07:20] Titan8990: Thats good news at least [07:20] using shell script [07:20] deepz: diff [07:20] |HSO|SadiQ: you could try asking about a workaround in the #nvidia channel [07:20] how to install adobe acrobat reader 8.1.3.1 [07:20] <|HSO|SadiQ> crdlb, that's why I need those tty's...to install the latest nvidia driver [07:20] i am on linux [07:20] ubuntu 8.04 [07:20] clearzen, 2^64 [07:21] Titan8990: makes sense [07:21] hi [07:21] hii [07:21] how to diff using a shell script [07:21] Titan8990, My login page is smaller than my screen resolution that includes the desktop manager [07:21] tab button behavior in config button where? [07:21] clearzen Titan8990, most 64bit OSs only use 48bit fpr memory adressing [07:21] asl === Potjie is now known as co [07:22] -which is still quite enough ;)- [07:22] clearzen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit [07:22] dadda, and it does not take up the entire screen? [07:22] twain: open a new tab, type in about:config in that new tab you will see a textbox next to "Filter:", type in closebuttons and change the number to what you want [07:22] Can dd command help to write to mbr [07:22] Titan8990: 64bit OSes usually have funky ram managers so it can be even more than 2^64 [07:22] Titan8990, correct I have a strip of un used space below and on the right side [07:22] tri__: sure [07:22] tri__, yes, dd can write to mbr [07:23] twain: changing the "Value" to 1 will result in "X" on each tab [07:23] dadda, odd, are you sure it is using 1920x1200 resolution? [07:23] ActionParsnip1, can u give me complete syntax [07:23] Titan8990, Yes [07:23] tri__, we don't know what you are trying to accomplish [07:23] so, if I am running a 64bit os with 32 bit software lets say firefox. Would 32bit firefox be able to use more than 3.2GB of Ram? [07:23] Titan8990, How do I take a screenshot so you can take a look at it [07:23] hii [07:24] dadda, prtscn button [07:24] clearzen: no, since it stores the memory address in a 32bit int [07:24] tri__, if you wanted to say, write zeros to only the mbr it would be like: dd if=/dev/sdx bs=512 count=1 of=/dev/zero [07:25] the system memory limit for 32bit can be worked around, but not the per-process one [07:25] crdlb: ok that's what I thought. Thanks for the help [07:25] I have a movie file without extension, how to know wich video format is? [07:25] i cant find it,.. in file,edit,view,history,tools, [07:25] tri__: well i dont know what you want to write there, or even why [07:25] (08:25:02) (crdlb) the system memory limit for 32bit can be worked around, but not the per-process one <- photoshop had such a workaround [07:25] Booh, you could vlc, so it doesn't matter, but otherwise, google [07:25] peterson: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/06/23/install-adobe-acrobat-reader-812-on-ubuntu-804/ .. despite the reference to 8.1.2 it works for recent 8.1.3 as well [07:25] <|HSO|SadiQ> Titan8990, adding compositing didn't solve my tty's :( [07:25] it could use more than 2gb (which is the limit for 32bit apps in windows) [07:26] xemacs: ok, but I mean generally :) [07:26] Titan8990, I need to know because facebook need extension to import... [07:26] |HSO|SadiQ, xorg does not effect the TTYs [07:26] like without modifying apps [07:26] Booh: well technically the linux kenel doesn't care about extensions but gnome does. Just name it .avi and vlc will play it more than likely [07:26] <|HSO|SadiQ> Titan8990, you know what does then?? [07:26] Titan8990, it's my own video extracted from a vhs... to vcd [07:26] Booh, then google would get my vote [07:26] |HSO|SadiQ, umm framebuffer setting in /boot/grub/menu.lst [07:26] hey guys, why is it when i delete something (BIG) from my jumpdrive it shows the same amount of storage left?

[07:28] ActionParsnip1, its the first 512 bytes of a disk [07:28] how do i actually delete a file from my flash drive [07:28] ?

[07:29] ok [07:29] ;( [07:29] tri__: the file extension doesnt mean much in linux [07:30] twain: open a new tab, type in about:config in that new tab you will see a textbox next to "Filter:", type in closebuttons and change the number to what you want [07:30] <|HSO|SadiQ> Titan8990, when I press ALT+CTRL+F1 I get a black screen [07:30] twain: Which part of that is not clear?

[08:07] Seveas, wait sorry, I think ubuntu-desktop is still installed, and geting no apt errors [08:07] Milkeh, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop then (unless you're using kubuntu/xubuntu) [08:07] Seveas, yeah similar [08:07] Stralytic, not to capture, but to get the data going thru the gateway [08:07] sort of a counter, in and out [08:07] Can someone look at this page and see if it loads normally for them? http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail.html [08:07] Stralytic, bwm is what you want then [08:07] it's a commandline app that just shows line rates [08:08] AnRkey: it looks like the easiest way to change it is indeed via gconf, run 'gconf-editor /apps/panel/objects', look in menu_bar_screen0 (if you use the menu bar), enable use_custom_icon and set custom_icon to the file you want [08:08] there are tools to get the data rate...but wht abt the total transfered...like so-so gb's... [08:08] Anyone at all? I cannot figure out why it won't work! [08:08] scrow213, it's flash [08:09] Right, and I have flash installed, Flashblock disabled [08:09] crdlb, thanks, i just wanna take that tiny black arrow off the top of the icon [08:09] And I tried the manual method that was linked. [08:09] Still won't load properly [08:09] AnRkey: that's not actually part of the icon [08:09] crdlb, it would be perfect if it was not there [08:10] crdlb, i know, it's an overlayed icon [08:10] llragsll, sudo iptables -L -v -n. That'll tell you the amount transfered since booting [08:10] Is it Gnash that is not working properly? [08:10] (I'm sure there are better ways of getting that info, but this one works too :)) [08:10] * AnRkey scurries off to try crdlb's suggestion [08:11] i installed cgi irc on my server... but where is the conf files? [08:11] is it possible to select/highlight text in gnome-terminal using keyboard only? [08:11] hi for all [08:11] i installed via "apt-get" [08:11] llragsll, if you want to graph your usage over a month to make sure your isp is not ripping you off ... or similar... try cacti, with snmp installed on you linux box [08:12] Well clearly I am failing at Ubuntu [08:13] scrow213: could be gnash, hard to tell ... did you test the official adobe flash plugin to compare both ? [08:13] ActionParsnip2: thank for the reply, my synaptics says i'm using 173 nvidia driver. how do i reconfigure this config to use the driver properly? [08:13] someone? [08:13] crdlb, do you know where that extra little icon/arrow thingies conf is? [08:13] ApOgEE-: not that I know of, but you can if you run screen inside of it [08:13] AnRkey: hardcoded I'm sure :/ [08:14] I honestly don't know. Here is how it went after I installed Ubuntu [08:14] crdlb, NO!!!! please don't say that [08:14] so can anybody possibly fix my openoffice? [08:14] bah [08:14] Went to YouTube, Firefox said I need plugins. Installed all 3 options [08:15] Nothing worked [08:15] Milkeh, what is it doing or not doing? [08:15] have u consulted the oracle? (google) [08:15] AnRkey, my whole interface is a silly symbol font, besides the document itself [08:16] scrow213: you shouldn't opt for all 3, things conflict that way .. what plugin is active at the moment in your firefox ? [08:16] hello all, I am new to all this and I just installed Ubuntu and have already messed sudo up some how when I try to do something that requires a su login I get an error saying I don't have permissions to do that [08:16] ActionParsnip2: here's my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/d17ec6c86 [08:16] ActionParsnip2: here's my Mxorg.conf which created based on Xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/d35faa660 [08:16] is there a config file I can edit to fix things [08:17] Milkeh, create a new user and log in to it. See if it's still borked, if it's not then it's a profile issue [08:17] Mxorg.conf is the xorg used by userful multiplier which i use to create multiseats in ubuntu [08:17] buy wasn't able to separate the 2 screens properly [08:18] I cannot even get into do the user configs [08:18] .mp4 files open with realplayer by default. what can i do to make it totem? [08:18] even tried to su in a bash terminal and it would not accept my password [08:18] cooldduuudde: Right-click a .mp4 file, click Properties, then click Open With. You should be able to change it to Totem from there. [08:18] cooldduuudde, right click an .mp4 document, properties, Open With [08:19] got it [08:19] ok now the second thing. how 2 change filetype icons? [08:20] How do I check to see which is active? [08:20] scrow213, go to about:plugins in your browser [08:21] i want .torrent files to have Vuze icon. how 2 do dat? [08:21] <|HSO|SadiQ> how do I add a rule to unblock the port 27960 on both UDP and TCP [08:22] <|HSO|SadiQ> !iptables [08:22] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [08:22] about plugins? Where is that? [08:22] !icons [08:22] Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (GNOME) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE) [08:22] !change icons [08:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about change icons [08:23] scrow213: type it into your address bar (the same place you'd usually type addresses of websites) [08:23] crdlb, thanks [08:23] scrow213: enter "about:plugins" in the urlbar, if you set about:config key plugin.expose_full_path to true you get the exact file system location of each installed plugin, handy if you want to test a few by renaming temporarily instead of removing things [08:24] ok [08:24] I have a lot [08:24] You want the list of plugin names or the list of filenames? === Blacki_ is now known as Blacki [08:25] scrow213: which ones are enabled for the swf and spl mime-types ? [08:25] Umm [08:25] I think I know what you are asking [08:25] Shockwave Flash [08:25] i want .torrent files to have Vuze icon. how 2 do dat? [08:26] Another one called Shockwave Flash [08:26] lol [08:26] And a third one called the same thing [08:27] scrow213: there you have it :) open the add-ons menu option, tat has a plugin section, and disable the redundant ones to test [08:27] Ok [08:27] So just disable any two of them [08:28] And see if that does it? [08:28] scrow213: to test yes, if you're happy with one, i'd say remove the others from your system (the file location can help here) [08:29] I have the ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver activated, but apparently it's not "actively in use." What would I need to do to make it used? [08:29] Nope [08:29] I tried and one of them does exactly what it does now [08:29] The other two do nothing at all if they are the only ones enabled [08:30] foo: copy your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link to the past URL here. [08:30] rww: thanks. http://x03.ath.cx/temp/xorg.conf [08:31] scrow213: i realize the official adobe plugin isn't open source, but personally i have no issues with it .. in other words, i'd keep that one ... if you enable only that one, does your issue still exists ? [08:31] rww: ultimately trying to enable compiz, eg. visual effects = extra. I get this error: Desktop effects could not be enabled. thanks [08:31] Hi, [08:31] foo: That looks correct. Have you restarted the X server (either with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace or restarting the computer or gdm) since installing fglrx? === sean is now known as Guest39586 [08:31] Like I said, one of them changes nothing. The other two don't load anything at all [08:32] What exactly is the feature in the ubuntu bash shell that tells you what to install for a particular binary? [08:32] So not one of them works right [08:32] hi, I can't get fglrx to work. I can't enable it in restricted drivers manager (the gui just sits there...) [08:32] rww: yes. hard reboot, restart twice, etc. Definitely something else, hmm. [08:32] There is just one that does exactly what my computer already does [08:32] how can I do it from the command line? [08:32] foo: What video card do you have? [08:33] rampageoberon: It's the "command-not-found" package. [08:33] !info command-not-found | rampageoberon [08:33] command-not-found (source: command-not-found): Suggest installation of packages in interactive bash sessions. In component main, is standard. Version 0.2.26ubuntu1.1 (intrepid), package size 9 kB, installed size 104 kB [08:33] rww: Radeon X800Pro PCIE [08:33] thanks rww :) [08:34] what's the update command? [08:34] hi all [08:34] ... [08:34] foo: Okay, give me a sec to check some things. [08:34] rww: I've gotten this to work in the past, not sure exactly what's up. I've been in fluxbox for a while and it seems like something broke, hmm. [08:34] rww: no problem, thank you! [08:35] I mount my phone and i dont have permission to do anything with it [08:35] If I want to TOTALLY remove xfce4 and every trace of it, what do I type then? I tried sudo apt-get autoremmove --purge xfce4 but the file size seemed smaller then when I installed [08:35] is it recommended to install firewall on desktop machine or not? [08:35] I very easily could of mounted it wrong [08:35] I am totally lost on what to do [08:36] scrow213: to compound the issue ... youtube uses flash video (flv), so you'll need another plugin for those as well .. do you find something enabled for flv suffixes in your about:plugins page ? [08:36] sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdd1 /media/usbdisk I mounted using this [08:36] yoypo [08:36] how would I go about updating openoffice? === rubix is now known as Guest95638 [08:37] Yeah [08:37] foo: Okay. Can you pastebin your Xorg log? It should be in /var/log/ somewhere. [08:37] I have Totem Web Browser Plugin 2.24.3 for that [08:37] Milkeh: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [08:37] 8.10 [08:37] rww: thanks. http://x03.ath.cx/temp/Xorg.0.log [08:38] scrow213: i would try removing all 3 shockwave flash related plugins you have now, install the flashplugin-nonfree through apt-get and try again from scratch, god knows what is left conflicting on your system right now [08:38] Ok, one moment please [08:38] scrow213: no rush [08:38] how can i switch from xubuntu to ubuntu? [08:38] If I want to TOTALLY remove xfce4 and every trace of it, what do I type then? I tried sudo apt-get autoremmove --purge xfce4 but the file size seemed smaller then when I installed [08:39] Wait [08:39] No [08:39] Milkeh: Ubuntu 8.10 ships with OpenOffice.org 2.4 because 3.0 came out too late for Ubuntu developers to test it. Since Ubuntu doesn't upgrade packages to new major versions after Ubuntu versions are released, OO.org 3.0 will not be released to intrepid-updates. For various reasons, it's also not in intrepid-backports. You can either wait until Jaunty, which will have OO.org 3, or use an... [08:39] ...unofficial method like http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml [08:39] When I did the nonfree it said that is what was already installed [08:39] How can I remove all plugins/addons [08:39] And just start all over [08:39] rww, alright, thank you very much [08:39] Milkeh, did you create a test account? [08:40] Hi All. Does anyone know if /etc/fstab.d/ works in Ubuntu Hardy ? [08:40] hi, I need an advice over a laptop, whether it works or not with Ubuntu [08:40] AnRkey, oh no I still need to do that :) [08:40] u don't have to log out even [08:40] just create the user and switch from the task bar tool [08:40] AnRkey, what if I just use the guest acc? [08:40] same idea [08:40] I'm planning to buy a HP Compaq 6730s, Intel Core 2 Duo T5870, ATI HD 3430 256MB [08:40] scrow213: open synaptic and run a see if you have those installed there, and completely remove them .. if that doesn't do it, let me know, we can try manual removal [08:41] Hey guys, I'm following this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6722478 guide to get channel bots working on Ubuntu 8.10 (I have also started on Linux about 12 hours ago) can someone explain to me exactly what this line (sudo chmod 777 /usr/lib/eggdrop -R) tells the server to do [08:41] do you think I'll have problems with the video chipset [08:41] ? [08:41] Ok I have synaptic open [08:42] foo: Looks like fglrx is being loaded, but it's complaining about DRI problems. Since Compiz needs DRI, this is likely what your problem is. What version of Ubuntu are you using, and are you using the version of fglrx in the Ubuntu repositories, or from ATI's website? [08:42] What am I looking for now? [08:42] How do I completly remove every trace of xfce4 [08:42] AnRkey, guest account is working fine with it [08:42] If I want to TOTALLY remove xfce4 and every trace of it, what do I type then? I tried sudo apt-get autoremmove --purge xfce4 but the file size seemed smaller then when I installed [08:42] Or do I need to reinstall [08:42] scrow213: anything gnash related, and flashplugin-nonfree [08:43] hmm [08:43] xemacs: install the ubuntu-desktop package [08:43] How do I view what I have already installed? [08:43] Iradieh__: what do you want to use instead of xfce? GNOME, KDE, etc... [08:43] Milkeh, do you mind losing any settings that u have stored for open office? [08:43] rww: gnome [08:43] Hmm... looks like fstab.d is a bleeding edge thing, or maybe not even in linux :( [08:43] AnRkey, not at all [08:43] scrow213: bottom-left, status [08:43] rww: I just want ever trace of xfce4 gone, I got issues (mental) so I will probarly reinstall Debian if I cant remove every trace if ut [08:43] hey guys [08:44] Milkeh, try this from the command line [08:44] rm ~/.openoffice.org* -Rf [08:44] Ok, all I have under "installed" is: [08:44] gnash [08:44] gnash-common [08:44] copy and paste it before u do a / by mistake :) [08:44] rww: hm, I see. /me looks at logs to try to find that. I see. I'm on intrepid. Not sure about fglrx version. Looks like xorg-driver-fglrx = 2:8.543-0ubuntu4.1 from dpkg -l |grep -i fglrx [08:44] mozilla-plugin-gnash [08:44] anyone knows whether the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3430 will work with Ubuntu? [08:44] Thats all [08:44] AnRkey: me? [08:44] Folks, I was trying to do an update yesterday when I was told that I had to do a partial upgrade instead of just the normal update. When I tried to run it I got the following error in my /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log file http://pastebin.com/f6a608dbb [08:44] Iradieh__, no Milkeh [08:45] Iradieh__: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome -> try the line under "remove xubuntu" [08:45] scrow213: the mozilla-plugin-gnash is the one you want to mark for complete removal [08:45] AnRkey, done done [08:45] iandan, check if it's black listed [08:45] rww: I did [08:45] rww: It didnt remove anything [08:45] Andelkrag, where? [08:45] AnRkey, where? [08:45] ok [08:45] Milkeh, open OOo [08:45] iandan, one sec [08:45] could someone help me with SSHing into a computer behind a router? [08:46] AnRkey, same deal [08:46] dec3164, have you forwarded the ports on the router? [08:46] rww: if you'd like me to do anything, let me know. I know I've gotten this to work before, hmm. [08:46] What is the best method for knowing if someone is connected to your machine in ubuntu? [08:46] scrow213: what was the third one you installed through firefox besides flashplugin-nonfree ? try to do a search on that in synaptic with the info from the about:plugins page in firefox [08:46] dec3164: You have to forward the port 22 to the target computer from your router [08:46] Ok completely removed [08:46] foo: Okay, so you're using the Ubuntu repository versions, your video card is supported by fglrx... so it's just DRI failing to initialize for some reason. Hmm. [08:47] yeah, but i haven't been able to get it to work [08:47] Milkeh, did you have openoffice closed when u did the command? [08:47] rww: trrying apt-get --reinstall --purge install xorg-driver-fglrx ... not sure if it's going to work, but I'm not having much luck elseware :) /me restarts X [08:47] i used the IP that the router recognizes the computer as, would that be rioght? [08:47] scrow213: ok, restart firefox to get those changes activated, and reinstall the flashplugin-nonfree as only one through synaptic [08:48] AnRkey, sure did [08:48] hmm [08:48] one sec [08:48] Ugh... anyone have any suggestions on some way I could nicely add an NFS mount when a package is installed, and remove it when the package is removed ? [08:48] dec3164, what type of router have you got? Have you looked at the website www.portforward.com to make sure that you've forwarded the ports correctly? You also have to make sure that you have your ssh server running on the target machine [08:49] I was hoping fstab.d was there, but looks like that's really, really new and doesn't work with 8.04 or 8.10 [08:49] Haha! [08:49] Hi [08:49] scrow213: any improvement ? [08:49] is it possible to activate headphones and disable the speakers on a laptop? i often work in the train and i don't want that if i pull out the headphones, that the sound goes over the speakers [08:50] You, sir or ma'am, are my hero! === sean is now known as Guest32933 [08:50] scrow213: lol, glad it's solved === rubix is now known as Guest68874 [08:50] When i'm trying to run my egg drop I type malcolm@linux:~$ /usr/lib/eggdrop -m ~/simple.conf [08:50] bash: /usr/lib/eggdrop: is a directory [08:50] rww: hm, nothing. What bugs me is I still see: No proprietary drivers are in use on this system when I go to "hardware drivers" [08:50] You and me both [08:50] what does the second line mean? [08:50] I am using iPod touch chatting here,hahaha [08:50] Thank you so very very much!! [08:51] how do i change my login screen's background image?? [08:51] I am glad someone knows something about computers [08:51] :) very welcome, enjoy the flashes [08:51] dynex, and yeah, i read the section for my router on portforward, i'm just not sure i'm feeding it the right IP... it's the 192.168.1.101, no? [08:51] Too many people here [08:51] Hahaha [08:51] Farewell [08:52] dec3164, Each macinh on your LAN will have different IP addresses. You need to make sure that you are pointing port 22 to the right IP address [08:52] scrow213: see ya, keep well [08:52] foo: Do you have a linux-restricted-modules package installed? [08:52] AnRkey, have you found something? I tried google but have found no results [08:52] iandan, no nothing yet [08:53] yeah, the 101 is the one i want it to forward to... that's what the router recognizes it as... [08:53] hi computer_ you just go to the shutdown icon right click it ....u will see setup login screen... [08:53] foo: Oh, you could also try some of the stuff on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#Troubleshooting . It might help, I guess. [08:53] hi folks [08:53] AnRkey, :( [08:53] moin [08:53] dec3164, for example, if you have a webserver with IP address 192.168.1.100 and a SSH server on 192.168.1.101 you would need to get your router to forward all http requests on port 80 to 192.168.1.100 and all traffic requests to port 22 to IP 192.168.1.101 [08:54] iandan, u having the same issue as Milkeh ? [08:54] i need the video/x-pn-icm-plugin but i can't find it in the synaptics packet manager, could anybody tell me in what package it is or how to install it? [08:54] dec3164, can you ssh into the box when you're at home? [08:54] dec3164, i.e. so that your router doesn't need to forward the port [08:54] mick02, if i plug the box directly into the wall, i have no problems [08:54] rww: I do [08:55] I think there are a lot of network manager here [08:55] Am I right ? [08:55] AnRkey, No, I'm planning to buy a new laptop which has this video chipset and I'm not sure whether I cand find drivers for it or not [08:55] oh yes soz man got side tracked [08:55] on the ATI support page it does not exist [08:55] iandan, you need to find out if that product is blacklisted [08:55] ...and the retailer delivers the laptop FreeDos [08:56] try ubuntu+1 and ask the devs [08:56] #ubuntu+1 [08:56] rww: hm, I wonder, should I try to get the open source drivers working? [08:56] Hi guys, i have a question about installing ubuntu 8.10 32bit using UNETBOOTIN, I've installed it and selected unetbootin from the boot menu, but it gives me an error saying it cant find "GRLDR" on all drives. i imagine its looking for that grub-loader thing. [08:56] anybody know how i could fix that? [08:56] AnRkey, I'll try. Thanks for help [08:56] Question, How do I go about backing up my gnome panel settings? Because I want to see how I like removing one but I want a backup so I don't have to re-arrange the icons and such. [08:56] foo: Compiz doesn't work with the open source drivers for most cards. [08:56] rww: ah, darn, ok. let me check out that troubleshooting guide, I suppose, thanks! [08:56] iandan, ok no probs (btw, go for nvidia, it's always less trouble) [08:57] is it possible to activate headphones and disable the speakers on a laptop? i often work in the train and i don't want that if i pull out the headphones, that the sound goes over the speakers [08:57] StyleSheep, yes it is [08:57] how?

[08:59] gonan give it a try [09:00] hi [09:00] if it doesnt work out I will reisntall with xfce4 again [09:00] dec3164, Can you go to www.ping.eu and check to see if your current firewall is blocking traffic through port 22. You'll need to find your WAN IP address first, you can do this through something like www.ipchicken.com [09:00] sigh [09:00] hi [09:00] Milkeh, You can wipe your entire profile's settings if you want (backup first and make sure to unhide files when u do) > try ctrl+alt+f2 > sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop > rm ~/.* -Rf > sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [09:00] Milkeh, if you are sure that it worked in a new profile that is [09:01] AnRkey, It's alright, I'll just use gedit for my assignment, I'll just work this out another day [09:01] rww: fwiw, http://x03.ath.cx/temp/fglrxinfo.txt ... output of fglrxinfo, hm. [09:01] well i know it can't, i'm behind the campus firewall... but i'm trying to access from behind the firewall as well [09:01] AnRkey, thanks for all your support [09:01] Milkeh, somehow your profile got it's openoffice settings borked it seems. You can search for config file locations just for OOo on google too if you like [09:01] the_gamer: don't have other clues on this one, hope someone chimes in [09:01] Milkeh, soz for not giving you a shweeter answer [09:01] AnRkey, it's fine, you've given me more support then anyone else has [09:01] Milkeh, just pay it forward bro [09:02] :P [09:02] what port does virtual desktop function over? [09:02] foo: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-609467.html -> "All I had to do was type: sudo depmod -a into the terminal, reboot, and VOILA! everything was back to normal." [09:02] mick02, well i know it' can't, i'm behind the campus firewall... but i'm trying to access it from behind the firewall as well [09:02] foo: Looks like that person was having a similar problem to you; perhaps try that. [09:02] rww: will do [09:02] Milkeh, always remember it's a gamble in this # cause someone that knows the answer to your question might not always be here.

[09:03] How do i fix the "Error: Cannot find GRLDR on all drives. press ctl+alt+del to reboot." problem [09:03] ? [09:03] Im using UNETBOOTIN [09:03] and ubuntu i381 8.10 [09:04] i386* [09:04] anyone know how I can connect to a wireless network in a tty with network manager? [09:05] rww: gah, nope. /me tries to google [09:05] camjay: Are you using one of the installation guides at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation ? [09:05] Yes [09:05] camjay: which one? [09:05] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows [09:06] that one^ [09:06] and i used the suggested program [09:06] "UNETBOOTIN" [09:06] it installs the bootloader to your HDD [09:06] and all that [09:06] My package manager is not able to download files for ubuntu.com although i am connected. How to set it back to default settings? [09:06] so i can install ubuntu w/o removable media [09:07] mick02, i suspect that it has something to do with the router's mac address... when i plugged it in, the campus network recognized it as windows, so perhaps it doesn't want to support port 22? or does that even make sense? [09:07] camjay: Okay, I see. Have you considered using Wubi instead? It tends to be easier to set up than unetbootin [09:08] rww: well, i tried wubi, had problems with it aswell, and also i generally just dont like the fact that it uses its own filesystem [09:08] like [09:08] i want to use unetbootin so i can use a seperate partition [09:08] clean n clear [09:08] you know? [09:08] dec3164, Here goes nothing ... YOU ---> CAMPUS FIREWALL ---> ROUTER ---> SSH SERVER. First of all your CAMPUS FIREWALL has to have port 22 open to allow traffic to pass to your ROUTER. If your CAMPUS FIREWALL doesn't allow traffic on port 22 then the traffic will not even make it to your ROUTER hence no ssh request will be sent or received by your ROUTER. Does this make sense? Sorry about the caps I thought it might make it a bit easier to read! [09:08] wubi = hindered disk access performance [09:08] i want the perfect linux experience [09:08] hehe [09:09] camjay: Yeah, I see what you mean. Hmm. If you have a USB drive you're not using, and your BIOS supports USB boot, unetbootin to USB tends to work very well. [09:09] i have a usb drive but its only 512mb [09:09] why does my theme go away after i logout? it goes back to some other theme? [09:09] im pretty set on using the HDD install [09:09] i mean [09:09] i got to my boot screen [09:09] select unetbootin [09:09] then it says [09:09] i mean the task bar goes back to normal [09:09] "error cannot find grldr on all drives" [09:09] camjay, talk to me through private chat? [09:09] ! flash 10 [09:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about flash 10 [09:10] ! flash [09:10] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [09:10] mick02, i've SSH'd into this machine through this connection outlet before, no problem... so neither the campus network nor my computer is the problem... the only difference with this setup is the router... [09:11] camjay: what does your current partition layout look like? is it just one Windows NTFS partition, or is it more complicated? [09:12] one NTFS [09:12] rww: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/293012 , hmm, seems to be a bug. [09:12] about 78GB [09:12] 15GB free [09:12] for a new partition [09:12] i was gona put ubuntu on a new 15gb [09:12] dec3164, Sorry, I miss understood your problem. So is the router the only thing that's changed then? The Router isn't set up to allow MAC Address access only is it? Some routers will only allow connections from certain mac addresses [09:12] so [09:12] camjay: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === andre is now known as Guest92558 [09:13] does a typical ubuntu livecd include the debs of installed packages? === Rabbitbu1ny is now known as Rabbitbunny [09:14] dionysian, not that ive noticed.

Sorry about that. just a habit. [09:51] camjay: you will have to look at a re-sizing tool if the ubuntu partitioner does not have space to resize it for you [09:51] camjay, use gparted to resize an existing parition. th [09:51] camjay: the partition tool maybe able to resize it if there is some unallocated space [09:51] camjay, if resizing a NTFS - i find the vista resize tools to be MUCH MUCH faster.

[09:53] camjay: where is the ISO stored ? [09:53] on my windows NTFS partition [09:53] I used unetbootin with Grub-loader [09:53] camjay: thats why it can't resize it - that partition is in use [09:55] Alright, well i have no form of removable media [09:55] camjay: you'll have to delete the windows partition then [09:55] camjay: and / or buy some removable media [09:56] well i know theres programs such as partitionmagic [09:56] ive seen 2gb thumbdrives for $5 on sale recently :) just the right size.

[09:58] jimcooncat this was at xmas time.. they may be out by now. its ahrd to tell. :) the had a rack of proberly 500+ of the things at this store. [09:58] I want to reset the mount points of my partitions. something screwed up and my partitions dont mount [09:59] so is there any temporary mount file? [09:59] So if i am able to create new partitions, which filesystem will i want? [09:59] SingAlong, not in the way you are talking about.. If you want to mount them someplace else.. you can manually mnount them whever you want. [09:59] Will i want 3 partitions? One for linux swap and one for ext2? [09:59] (the other being windows ntfs) [09:59] camjay, how i normally do it (windows)(Linux)(swap) [10:00] How big does swap need to be? [10:00] Dr_willis: no I actually set the mount points by rightclicking and now I get an error "illegal characters in mount point" [10:00] Dr_willis: so none of my partitions mount [10:00] SingAlong, ive never heard of anyone ever getting that right click stuff to 'work' :) those settings as far as i know are not in the fstab. they are a per user setting.. so are in your gnome settings somewhere. [10:01] what is the proper way to use the +x command to help mask an ip on irc? [10:01] Dr_willis: how do I find that out? [10:01] SingAlong, most likely a space in the mountpoint - from what i am imagining. [10:01] SingAlong, make a new user - see if they mount for him. would be a good test. [10:01] Dr_willis: the character it said was GD_DIR_SEPARATOR [10:02] Dr_willis: but anyway where can I reset those settings? [10:02] Hmm. I might have to use a floppy drive and use partition logic, argh [10:02] i wish there was a way i could partition the drive while im using it [10:03] the trouble is that i dont have a floppy drive, i'd have to go steal it from the other computer [10:03] after i copied the partition program on it from the other pc. Hmm. sigh. brb [10:03] SingAlong, hard core way would be to reset all the gnome settings by removing the .gnome* and .gconf* directories.. which is why i said to test with a new user first.. befor going that hardcore [10:03] camjay, just use a live ubuntu disc with gparted [10:04] Dr_willis: oh ok [10:04] I would bro but i cant burn CD's [10:05] i have two cd burners, one fails to work anymore, the other: when i tried to burn the image to a CD-R it told me i had a bunk removable media, saying that the blank CD-R disk speeds didnt match up with the CD writers speeds [10:05] so i assume the media was incompatible with my other cd burner [10:05] camjay, is your bios new enough to be able to boot from a flash drive? [10:05] doubtful [10:05] 4 yrs old [10:05] although i do have a flash drive [10:05] 512MB, but thatd enough to hold a partition boot program [10:06] Ah, ur a genius, hold on. [10:06] camjay, to test that you can check the boot menu wen the pen drive is inserted. if you see the drive in the menu, your bios supports it. [10:06] camjay, if you can't set your bios to boot from US, it's a moot point... [10:07] *USB [10:07] could he resize the drive from inside wubi? [10:07] Dr_willis: nope doesnt work [10:07] Dr_willis: so is it dangerous to reset my gnome settings? [10:08] ok guys, i got the USB drive [10:08] its 512MB [10:08] plugging it in now [10:08] that won't be big enough for a livecd [10:08] no i dont need it to be [10:08] i want to boot a partition program from it [10:09] camjay: check your bios first [10:09] then i can create my partitions and re-run my grub loader unetbootin [10:10] camjay get the gparted live iso, the wheel is already invented [10:10] camjay: check if you bios supports boot from USB first [10:11] ok guys i have a question. how 2 change filetype icons? [10:11] cooldduuudde: it's managed through themes [10:12] so how do i do it?

[12:11] maybe [12:11] yeah he is.lol [12:11] Master_J: could you also include config.log ? [12:11] that config.log [12:12] Master_J: your logfile still says "C compiler cannot create executables", which is a good indication that you didn't install the build-essential package. [12:12] rww : i know that but i want to use pint \os in which instructions are given that the distribution along with operating system has bugs so it need to install manually [12:12] *that`s config.log [12:12] i am downloading libc6-dev [12:12] rww: good point [12:12] Will that work? [12:13] Anyone good with conky here? [12:13] how stable is Jaunty alfa for install on work laptop? [12:13] Master_J: I would install build-essential [12:13] hello, I have ubuntu 8.10, I want to make vmc (vodafone) card work. I have Internet connection, only after I edit resolv.conf and changing the nameservers to opendns. Can that be automatically? [12:13] SPF: and one which I made 15 minutes ago. I guess Master_J missed it ;) [12:13] Master_J: apt-get install build-essential [12:13] SkyNetMaster: Not very. It's alpha for a reason. Don't use it in a production environment, please.

I just don't want to screw things up.... [12:15] NativeAngels: ok. It seems to me that you've tried to start the mysqld_safe twice. First without using SUDO, hence the errors like "does not have acess rights" etc, etc . [12:15] dinesh372: oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, since you have specific patches you need to apply, you can't use the repository version. Yeah, you should be fine using the version on bochs' website. [12:15] rww: i guess it works now, thank you! [12:16] !ubot3 [12:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubot3 [12:16] NativeAngels: a bit after that, you started as root, but then it complains on not being able to connect to localhost port 3306. Even when you say nothing is running on 3306. So we may try starting mysql using another port. Just for test/debug purposes [12:16] rww thanx, I just so exaited to use it :) so I want it on my laptop [12:16] NativeAngels: that'll be something like "mysqld_safe --port=3308" (for example) [12:17] I installed cairo but found it was crap, so I removed it. When I also told it to remove libcairo2 Synaptic also wants to remove a hell of a lot more, such as Compiz, etc. How could this be? [12:17] GeneralGustav: nice long thread in the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205865 [12:17] NativeAngels: and don't forget to use sudo, else we mix up the error messages [12:17] ooops [12:17] Got disconnected [12:18] SPF === Keith is now known as KeithGS [12:18] I just installed ubuntu, what are the required programs that i need to install?

I ran it in the terminal and I get lots of libgnomevfs-CRITICAL errors. Can anyone help?

(not windows) [12:23] quibbler, Yeah I saw those two but I cant seem to find a way of making conky stay on top but also restrict the windowspace. Like a google sidebar for instance.

Every time it does my audio breaks horribly. [12:24] Hello!!

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [12:24] vigo: that may give some clues [12:24] I mount some devices with fuse (some iso files and a single sshfs). How do I make them not show up on my desktop? [12:25] steveccc, Pretty much every update of any kind, Ubuntu thinks it knows better than me and reinstalls pulseaudio. [12:25] ActionParsnip1: Thank you again! [12:25] i have done. I get similar errors with eye of gnome and f-spot though, both libgnomevfs-CRITICAL errors, which is making me think that's the problem [12:25] 990618 [12:25] how do i obtain the uuid of my hds? [12:26] jonaskoelker: theres a setting in gnome-something [12:26] curtman: in my case sound was working fine and i installed all updates (must admit I didnt read what they were) and then i find sound doesnt work.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [12:27] jonaskoelker: there's one that can show or hide all volume icons.

[12:28] orflon, there is a package resolvconf donwload that... [12:28] arvind_khadri, and what is that? [12:28] ActionParsnip1: create shortcuts where? On the desktop? They'd be hidden just like the things they point to... [12:28] steveccc, If I knew that I would be a very happy person. [12:28] rww: where's that? [12:28] rww; i downloaded the tar.gz file then how to proceed next with installation [12:28] jonaskoelker: /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible in gconf-editor [12:28] steveccc, apt-get remove pulseaudio will get rid of it for now, but it will come back like an evil beast from hell. [12:28] jonaskoelker: make new ones yourself [12:29] orflon, it saves your nameservers on reboot... you will have to enter the nameservers within its config [12:29] ActionParsnip1: make new what?

Maybe its one of my neighbours that keeps installing it.

[13:07] and what filesystem, linux swap? (i assume?) [13:07] 1GB ram [13:07] cam|stoned: 1gb should be fine [13:08] i want the fastest possible experience [13:08] cam|stoned: usually its RAM x 2, yu need to set it to be swap, swap doesnt have a file system [13:08] per se [13:08] ok [13:08] is there a script/application to split a flac-file into several files using cue-sheet?

[13:51] i am running it from the hard disk [13:51] camjay: that is probably the problem [13:51] using unetbootin and grub [13:51] help [13:51] camjay: it's not looking at "itself" as it thinks it's the cd [13:52] ikonia theres nothing at all in that folder [13:52] camjay: I've not seen that exact problem, but similar [13:52] Oh.. hmmmm [13:52] NativeAngels: thats a problem then as it means mysql is not running [13:52] NativeAngels: or it is running and has not created a socket file [13:52] ok [13:52] ikonia: NativeAngels we've established the server is not running [13:52] how do i resolve this [13:52] I have modified some keys in gconf-editor, ..interface/gtk-theme and gtk-icons [13:52] oCean_: then why is he even checking / trying to connect ??? [13:52] thanks for the time byt [13:52] so ikonia [13:52] btw [13:53] surely theres a way to install it still [13:53] ikonia: NativeAngels errors during startup imply it cannot connect to port 3306. [13:53] and now i can't edit them again, it says 'this key is not writable' [13:53] i cant get VLC to run can someone help me? [13:53] camjay: yes a.) use external media b.) check to see if your disk controller is supported by ubuntu [13:53] din_os: Did you run gconf-editor as root with sudo at any point? If you did, you shouldn't have [13:54] soreau: yes I have [13:54] NativeAngels: what do you get when "ping localhost" [13:54] "/bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/include/bluetooth': Permission denied" even when I run it as sudo, why? [13:54] the tutorial says I should change my status to root [13:54] soreau: i have set these keys as mandatory too earlier [13:54] ikonia: one sec [13:54] ikonia: in the 8.10 release notes it says "Hard disks potentially not shown when installing in Live CD mode" [13:54] soreau: but now i cannot edit them, i can unset them but when i restart gconf-editor they are back to the old ones [13:55] din_os: Alright, you need to change the permissions back. As Your User run 'sudo chown $LOGNAME -R ~/.gconf' [13:55] "To use a mounted disk for installation, first unmount the drive before attempting to install." [13:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/122829/ [13:55] how do i unmount it? [13:55] to oCean_ [13:55] camjay: umount /path/to/mount/point [13:56] NativeAngels: yes, ok. So it resolves to 127.0.0.1. Changing bind_address in my.cnf to local ip.. that'll make the server start right? The mysql server [13:56] soreau: how can i find out the path to the mount point? [13:56] NativeAngels: wait [13:57] when i changed the bind ip to 192.168.0.3 which is the local ip for the linux box on mynetwork [13:57] NativeAngels: your paste... you did not get any ping reply [13:57] can someone help me with getting VLC working? [13:57] no [13:57] NativeAngels: *that* is your problem. Your system does not know what localhost is [13:57] ok [13:57] NativeAngels: if we fix that, mysql can bind to localhost:3306 :) [13:58] NativeAngels: edit /etc/hosts file [13:58] is there as special process to follow when upgrading hardware? I have just brought a new video card (AGP ATI HD3850) to do away with the onboard VIA gfx chip [13:58] NativeAngels: no wait. That's not what I wanted to say... try "ping 127.0.1.1" [13:59] NativeAngels: mind the 1.1 at the end, not 0.1 [13:59] soreau: no deal, ic what you want to achieve but it doesn't work i think i have the same problem as this guy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=709460 [13:59] hey, i cant replace the bootsplash on my liveCD [14:00] I have an HP officejet 6110 connected to my server (usb). How do I use it from my laptop? ipp:// or socket:// ? [14:00] camjay: Just run 'mount' [14:00] soreau: ok, how would one go about doing that [14:01] All i need is for the live ubuntu installer to recognize my HDD/partitions [14:01] camjay: 1) Open a terminal 2) Type mount 3) Press Enter [14:01] ok [14:01] i did that [14:01] oCean_ i got exactly the same as before but with the ip you showd above [14:01] din_os: Then I don't know, sorry [14:01] soreau: ok i'll mess around a bit, thx [14:02] NativeAngels: ok. Something is wrong with your loopback interface. Type "ifconfig -a" and look for "lo" interface [14:02] Is there anything I need to do for 2 monitors? I've just hooked up another one into the second DVI slot and gone to screen resolution in preferences. clicked detect display but nothing's happened thus far.

[14:09] I've launched a cp of a single file of 450gb from one disk to another, I don't have any physical access to the drive so I can't check if it's physically working or not and cp doesn't return any feedback on the process ... what' can I do? [14:09] good day [14:10] giaco If you have already started the process.. just wait [14:10] Morning... are there moments when root can not change ownership of files? [14:11] giaco: [14:11] giaco: Either wait or if you cancel the process you can try 'cp --verbose /source /dest' [14:11] cause I do "sudo chown -R www-data:www-data projetos" and get chown: changing ownership of `projetos/file.txt'': Operation not permitted permitted [14:11] giaco: ls -l will show you the file size of the file on the other disk. try "watch ls -l " [14:11] Jack_Sparrow, isn't there any proc file where I can read the disk utilization? [14:11] renan_saddam: Maybe, like with SE_Linux, or when the file is locked. I guess [14:11] sipior, good idea, let me try [14:11] giaco Nothing that I can think of that would give you real info [14:12] norbert79: the files returns owner root, group plugdev [14:12] renan_saddam: yes, if the file or parent directory has been set as immutable === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak [14:12] renan_saddam: or if it has been mounted via nfs with root_squash in effect [14:12] renan_saddam: Those are not real files...

In Ubuntu, it does not automatically mount the DVD, when I issue a mount /cdrom I get: mount: No medium found I have no idea why it's suddenbly stopped playing DVD's it used to ? [14:13] renan_saddam: I see [14:13] Computech: Which window manager is the system using? [14:13] sipior: the parent directory are the same owner/group, and its win32 [14:13] i tried compiz and gnome [14:13] but compiz now [14:14] (compiz --replace) [14:14] i also tryed the workarounds build in in compiz but that didnt work around :) [14:14] Computech: Try disabling Legacy Fullscreen Support in ccsm>Workarounds [14:14] tryed [14:14] Computech: Call me a grammar nazi, but it is written "tried" and not tryed" :) [14:14] Then try F11 on the OO window? [14:14] tryed [14:14] norbert79, sipior: the parent directory is a fat32 partition [14:15] il try that what soreau said again [14:15] Computech Please behave and keep responses to one line [14:15] renan_saddam: Normally the plugdev group is the group which has the authority on plugging in and out devices [14:15] but there were 2 things i needed to response to, so how can i put that on 1 line [14:16] renan_saddam: And in default every device is mounted with root/plugdev. Your normal user should belong to the group of plugdev for 'normal' use :) [14:16] sipior, I didn't know about the watch utility, it's pretty cool! [14:16] [14:16] it works :-) [14:17] renan_saddam: do yourself a favour and use a proper filesystem :-) i've given up dealing with the retarded nature of ntfs, vfat, &cet, especially regarding permission issues. [14:17] Computech You know what I mean.. Pleas hold down the number of random one word entries [14:17] Computech: FWIW, I don't see anything wrong in those screenshots other than having the Reflection plugin enabled makes the nonfocused title bar ugly IMHO [14:17] giaco: yeah, watch is pretty handy [14:17] sipior: Please be a bit more kind. [14:17] norbert79: that's as kind as i can manage, friend [14:17] renan_saddam: And in default every device is mounted with root/plugdev. Your normal user should belong to the group of plugdev for 'normal' use :) Don't care about the authority, if you will copy those files to the home directory, it will be changed [14:17] sipior: yes, I know. but I'm sharing this partition with Samba. [14:18] soreau, the bar with the name of the screen is gone and the bar down of the screen is gone (look in the vnc window and not in the system the picture was made on) [14:18] sipior: I am sorry, but I am not your friend. You are way away from it [14:18] ppl still need to use vfat for somethings, even if it is retarded [14:18] !ot [14:18] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[14:19] norbert79: is there other way to set properly? [14:19] i have a problem: can't compile anything. always gives tons of errors on make. have build-essential and 8.10 [14:19] renan_saddam: FAT32 does not support any UNIX authorisation flags, the owner/group is showing only the 'default' 'flags' [14:19] norbert79 trying to set permissions on a fat32 system.. [14:20] Jack_Sparrow: I see, but that makes not much sense :)) [14:20] but my linux is going to different console, when i insert "ALT + CTRL + D" [14:20] norbert79 I fully agree [14:20] anyone?

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [14:21] tokico_: Having build essential is not enough. You must have the proper developer files for the specific application it needs. [14:21] Before i used gnome x windows, I often used short key that let windows close, that ALT + CTRL + D, [14:21] norbert79: there are files that I must access via browser, I had configured apache to display the files, but its giving 302 ("Permission Denied"), so I thought I could change permissions from the files to be able to acess via browser. [14:21] Before i used gnome x windows, I often used short key that let windows close, that ALT + CTRL + D, [14:21] what problem is this status?

[14:22] webterror: that key combo makes my windows minimize [14:22] anybody with multirma pc expert problem screen? [14:22] norbert79 sheesh.. thats a handfu; [14:22] Anyone else know how to help me? [14:22] I've tried several ncurses games, hydra and danpei [14:22] renan_saddam: You were talking just plain Samba share, but now you are talking about Apache too... Was apache and Samba well configured? [14:22] ok i know that [14:22] Jack_Sparrow: Aye, pretty complicated :) [14:22] !patience > ubuntistas [14:22] ubuntistas, please see my private message [14:22] I need some server-side inventory database system - I need to be able to add a computer and say which software it has installed etc. Anyone know of such opensource application?

[14:23] norbert79: I thing so. I really thing its well configured [14:23] but my key combo is going different console that like "CTRL + ALT + F4" [14:23] without dependencies, etc. [14:23] norbert79: windoze users [14:23] tokico_ try /join #c++ [14:23] renan_saddam: Think or are you sure?

In Ubuntu, it does not automatically mount the DVD, when I issue a mount /cdrom I get: mount: No medium found I have no idea why it's suddenbly stopped playing DVD's it used to ? [14:23] Jack_Sparrow I was compiling pure C, not ++ [14:24] tokico_ try /join #c [14:24] norbert79: there is a problem authenticating Samba users via LDAP, but its ok. And Apache is perfectly running [14:24] Synaptic "remembers" the gnome proxy settings, even after I've applied "no proxy" systemwide. [14:24] if in console, ALT+CTRL+D is like "CTRL+D" [14:24] How to fix without a relog? [14:24] hi. I have trouble with my nvidia geforce 6600. I get "NVRM: not using NVAGP, an AGPGART backend is loaded!" in dmesg, although agpgart is included in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. what should I do? [14:24] renan_saddam: Lets get some parts clear. Regarding authority and access limitation: Samba has ceratin levels of control for file access. First of all, it's a plain Fat32 fs. You don't have muich to deal with it there. You can also limit the access through the directory, to which this Samba FS is mounted to. You should also check Samba config for the limitation of that particulkar directory. [14:24] tokico_: have you got autoconf, automake and friends installed? [14:25] renan_saddam: UN*X and Linux has different levels of controlling authorisation [14:25] sipior hmm... don't know. gonna search aptitude right now [14:25] renan_saddam: Make sure, that the directory, where the FAT FS is mounted to has right authorisation, and the SAMBA is configured well too [14:26] sipior but I can run make and configure, except on make it gives tons of errors and I can't nor checkinstall nor make install [14:26] renan_saddam: I would really advise you on reading the samba documentation or checking for examples in /usr/share/doc/samba [14:26] tokico_: could you pastebin some of these errors, so we can se what you're talking about? [14:26] ok. [14:27] renan_saddam: and also the same goes for Apache... Apache can be also limited as well, sounds pretty complicated, tough it's needed at today's standard === biv6 is now known as Guest67348 [14:27] norbert79: nice tips dude. I'm going to check everything you said. thank you! [14:27] renan_saddam: You are welcome! [14:27] renan_saddam: Good luck!

I have trouble with my nvidia geforce 6600. I get "NVRM: not using NVAGP, an AGPGART backend is loaded!" in dmesg, although agpgart is included in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. what should I do? [14:28] ubuntu_: No. AFAIK there are no good tools for NTFS partitions [14:28] norbert79: ok, thanks [14:28] ubuntu_: Use plain Windows for such actions [14:28] norbert79: just that my windows wont boot... [14:28] ubuntu_: I see. use your install CD for recovery tasks [14:28] norbert79: yeah, gonna try that, thanks [14:28] ubuntu_: Which you own, I guess, right? :) [14:29] norbert79: I dont :D [14:29] ubuntu_: That will be a problem then :) [14:29] hah yeah [14:29] hi, I want to install GNUM16C v0901 Linux Toolchain, on 64 bit system, but I get error that architecture is suported, is there a way to run it?

[14:36] ok i found it "Hide all windows and focus desktop" [14:37] SkyNetMaster: Still, if you stick to the 64 bit system (you could still emulate the 32 bit) use chroot [14:37] it not in repositories, it is compiler suplied by KPIT Cummins Infosystems [14:37] norbert79: Do you think I should format the partition with ext3 ? [14:37] renan_saddam: Not necessary [14:37] but, it was set already. [14:37] norbert79 : Im trying to set it upp now [14:37] norbert79: to avoid this authorisations issues [14:37] SkyNetMaster: Good luck :) [14:37] renan_saddam: I would suggesting on understanding how authorisation works inside Linux/UNIX and in all the services so you can understand things more clear [14:38] renan_saddam: Check some basic documentation, it's worth it :) [14:38] My computer 's DELL 1420 .but there is not a Webcam driver for it .Please help me [14:38] sipior: here it is, compiling vitetris: http://pastebin.com/m6c9e14b9 [14:38] is there any way to still upgrade feisty to gutsy?

The problem is the partition [14:38] chengchang_: Don't repeat yourself often. Second: did you buy the laptop first hand? [14:39] I need some server-side inventory database system - I need to be able to add a computer and say which software it has installed etc. Anyone know of such opensource application? [14:39] I got my video working (although no dual heasd yet) many thanks guys really appreciated. [14:39] thomasfeisty: you should update to hardy or intrepid, not gutsy [14:39] gutsy is old and not so reliable [14:39] Yes I buy a first hand one [14:39] tokico_: Disagree, still owning it ;-) [14:39] tokico , yes thats what i want to do, from feisty to gutsy -> hardy -> intrepid [14:40] chengchang_: Did you try Dell's official support already? [14:40] if theres a way to go to intrepid directly i would be happy [14:40] thomasfeisty: full Reinstall only [14:40] thomasfeisty: no - you need to go through the ugprades [14:40] thomasfeisty: Or through the upgrades [14:40] thomasfeisty: with that in mind it may be better to do a backup - and install 8.10 directly as a new system [14:40] norbert79: yes, but agree that intrepid is better, right ;) [14:41] tokico_: Naaaah, jsut to disagree ;-) But thats offtopic right now :D [14:41] tokico_: interesting. where'd you find these sources? your compiler seems to be fine, at any rate. [14:41] ikonia , thats impossible, the only ressources i have are an internet connection and a feisty cd, no possibility to burn an intrepid iso :( [14:41] thomasfeisty: You have to go through the updates then... Do you have a pendrive? [14:41] thomasfeisty: why can't you burn the ISO ? [14:42] norbert79 : should I when run schroot aliens **** to unpack rmp? [14:42] ikonia: cause i dont have cd-rs, explaining the whole situation would be tedious :) [14:42] sipior: at the official website: http://victornils.net/tetris/ [14:42] sipior: I don't think the problem is with the sources... But i'm no expert! [14:42] sipior: i think thats sent [14:42] norbert79: ikonia , the dist upgrade fails cause the upgrade manager needs to get something from the ubuntu archive, BUT they are non-existant for feisty... [14:42] norbert79: btw, dealing with ext3 partition is best than dealing with fat32, right? [14:42] cole: sent? did you get a pastebin url? [14:43] hello.....Can any1 tell me why when I hit shut down computer (ubuntu) it reboots automatically? [14:43] What program can I use to create an .iso of a dvd and get sound to play on the movie. The image looks fine, but I get no sound. [14:43] renan_saddam: It's up to you [14:43] thanks [14:43] i know of the old-releases.ubuntu archive but that doesnt work for dist-upgrade... [14:43] sipior: oh one mo [14:43] norbert79: :) [14:43] renan_saddam: Read the documenations first, and compare all the filesystems. Try to understand some basics first [14:43] my computer ( ubuntu) does not to shut down... [14:43] sipior: know what's the problem? [14:44] tokico_: working on it [14:44] hello.....Can any1 tell me why when I hit shut down computer (ubuntu) it reboots automatically?

[14:46] sipior: have to leave, please send solution to tokico.pt[at]gmail.com [14:46] Thanks [14:46] cole: ah, you're trying to start an X-based program from a script, but there is no server running that can be accessed by the cron user. you won't be able to use kppp in this manner, i'm afraid. [14:46] Jack_Sparrow: the files the upgrader needs are on old-releases, but the upgrader wont touch them [14:46] thomasfeisty did you update and upgrade first [14:46] it does not want to shut down.... [14:46] Nasra iam having issues with shut down [14:46] Jack_Sparrow: i did [14:46] k [14:46] Jack_Sparrow: nothing left [14:46] it does not shut down also suspend and hibarnate is not working roo [14:47] nectar thanks for replying ...how to fix it [14:47] thanks [14:47] i could not fix it yet [14:47] is your computer is a packardbell [14:47] ? [14:47] thomasfeisty Were you using other sources besides the supported repos prior to this upgrade [14:47] tokico_: after you ran ./configure, you issued the make command in the same directory, right? [14:47] because there is a bug report about it whic is still exist Nasra [14:47] nectar: it's a compaq [14:47] sipior: yes [14:47] Hello. When I run a nice'd process, the cpu doesn't run full speed. How can I avoid this? I want to run this process with lower priority than (all) others but with max available cpu power. [14:47] Jack_Sparrow: no, i had only those you also pasted in my sources.list [14:47] who can give me a hand? === ubuntu_ is now known as huajl8443 [14:48] Nasra it might be the same problem i dont know about it but i think is a an acpi problem. [14:48] * norbert79 gives a hand to huajl8443. There ya go [14:48] nectar: I am a newbie...so that means that I have re-install....correct or just wait [14:48] thomasfeisty gotta run.. [14:48] norbert79 : is there a way to tel alien to ignore that there is no i386 architecture in rpm packet? [14:48] sipior: im trying to kill kppp at certain times, as the kids are having a little trouble getting out of bed for school in a morning due to 3.00am internet adventures. is there any way i can do this? perhaps a user friendly gui app? [14:49] thx anyway [14:49] Nasra if you just installed it if you dont have anything to lost you can try to reinstall it but i tdont think that will solve the problem. You might try to update you bios [14:50] Jack_Sparrow: thank you for your links, they answer to how I could get all my mouse buttons working, which already do, but now how to disable some preset mouse binds? (Pressing mouse 1 and mouse 2 buttons at the sametime pastes a highlighted text, which I want to get rid of) [14:50] cole: ah :-) you can just kill the process with "killall kpppd", which will work just fine from the crontab. [14:50] SkyNetMaster: Hang on [14:51] nectar: lol.....but how to update bios ....(stupid question) sorry to be so naive.....the only thing I have is very important application on it thats it ...but not abig deal.... [14:51] Nasra if you can find out something about this problem let me now because iam having this issue for a long time. [14:51] tokico_: do you have the package libc6-dev installed? [14:51] sipior: do i just do the command "killall kpppd" or would i have to include a path to it? [14:52] if you check out your computers support page you can see probably if there is bios update === marko-_-- is now known as marko-_- [14:52] SkyNetMaster: I doubt so, but this might be interesting for you: http://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html#id274293 | [14:52] nectar: I am trying to find out by researching and asking question.... [14:52] and also write how to update bios in google [14:52] Bashiii: middle click is paste in Xwindows you mouse is configured to emulate middle click when you press both buttons at the same time [14:52] nectar: it's a big deal for you or you just keep it on all the time? [14:52] cole: no path needed. the string is matched against the one found from the process list. test it out manually first, and inspect the list with "ps auxww | grep kpppd", to make sure the name is correct. [14:52] SkyNetMaster: You might also try on installing the 32 bit version of alien [14:52] Hi. Is Ubuntu Intrepid known to have bad wireless signal? At least worse than Windows? I have a wireless Linksys WRT54GL router. The 2 laptops in my house (with Windows), get 3 times the signal, my laptop with Ubuntu gets (even in the same exact place). I recently changed my Laptop from a Toshiba M70 to a Toshiba L300.. could it be from ubuntu? i really don't believe it's the laptop... if yes.. any idea if it's the antenna or wireless card ? [14:53] no iam pushing the power button to shut it down. [14:53] cole: actually, kppp is just the interface to the pppd daemon, yes? so just "/etc/init.d/pppd shutdown" should work. [14:53] sipior: yes [14:53] it is comming until the last splash screen but it is not cutting power off. so iam cutting power manually [14:53] norbert79 : ah ok. thanks! will try with 32 bits alien first [14:53] mishu: certain wifi devices have problems, you might consider using ndiswrapper [14:53] nectar: even if I push down button down it reboots itself up....oh lol... [14:53] sipior: kool, thanx for that :) your a star! [14:53] erUSUL: got any idea how to get rid of that? [14:53] cole: heh, an astronomer, actually :-) [14:53] you have to keep your finger on power button about 5 second to cut the power [14:54] norbert79, what is ndiswrapper ? [14:54] hi, after booting up my swap partition does not get mounted, i've recently shrinked down my swap partition to save up some space. I tried commenting the swap in fstab so the file gets updated with the new UUID but had no success. any help? === Oxide is now known as OxideZA [14:54] mishu: an application with which you can use Windows WIFI drivers to make it work under Linux [14:54] Bashiii: what the emulation or the fact that: highlight + middle click --> copy and paste? [14:54] if you just push it one time it just reboot it is not a problem. [14:54] tokico_: you mentioned that this was the latest ubuntu, yes? it seems to build fine on my system. [14:54] emulation [14:54] sipior: lol :) [14:54] norbert79, ok, i'll check it out, thanks [14:54] sipior: yes, I run 8.10 [14:54] nectar: so you and me are having similar problem and nobody else....----> that is strange , isn't it? [14:55] i think all packardbell users having the same problem. [14:55] mishu: same way like my Atheros 5212 works under Gutsy at the moment. A card with bad support foir Wifi under Linux, but it works well with ndiswrapper [14:55] sipior: please, when you have the solution email it to tokico.pt[at]gmail.com [14:55] at least packarbell laptop users. [14:55] can you guys please help??? all of my programs are crashing with Segmentation Fault errors. everything was running fine, then one day i woke up and my computer froze as soon as i moved the mouse. i had to hard shut-down. now it's all messed up. [14:55] sipior: many thanks [14:55] or they know how to fix it. but i could not find really effective solving method for that still. [14:55] hello all! need link to edubuntu bit-torrent file [14:55] Bashiii: in xorg.conf file iirc [14:55] norbert79, ok, thanks a lot ... looking for it now in synaptic [14:55] helly anyone reading? [14:55] eNons3nse: I would consider of running fsck on the partition... Could be anything so far, or maybe memory issues... run fsck on the partition and memtest [14:56] nectar: so it 's packarbell related problem have nothing to do with Ubuntu, correct? [14:56] I believe I checked the xorg.conf already yesterday, and found nothing like that :< [14:56] No it is not about packardbell. i think it is about acpi support [14:56] Bashiii: in the mouse conf Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" (change to false) [14:56] or it is about kernel parametters [14:56] after booting up my swap partition does not get mounted, i've recently shrinked down my swap partition to save up some space. I tried commenting the swap in fstab so the file gets updated with the new UUID after reboot but had no success. any help? [14:56] can you tell me what is a good linux that i can use as a server? [14:56] mishu: You might also consider installing linux-backport-modules, which is a kernel add-on in Ubuntu, it might have some modules for your wifi cards... Same way goes Wifi on my Eee 701 4G [14:56] norbert79: could it be memory? i just added a gig of ram like 5 days before. it was brand new but it was fine for 5 days. [14:56] İt is about what your system is using for power management.

[14:58] but it did not worked for me. maybe it works for you [14:58] SkyNetMaster: Not neccesary [14:58] Do I need to add "Section "Mouse""? [14:58] Bashiii: well that's becouserecent xservers autoconfigure most of the things [14:58] and EndSection? [14:59] nectar: I think tried that the other day with help with a good buddy of mine in here....think did not work ar all.... [14:59] see?

For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org [14:59] yea i think we are having the same issues? [14:59] SkyNetMaster: Where the question is good. If you will have some issues, do an apt-get purge, but lets try it first without [14:59] does suspend or hibarnate works?

[15:00] nectar: so anyway if you see or find out let me know I am alwasy here to reading/learning about Ubuntu.>>>thanks alot [15:00] Bashiii: i find the fact that i can copy and paste like that to be a very valuable feature (that i miss in windows) [15:00] Klaz168: just open up /etc/fstab and modify it manually. I guess :) [15:00] norbert79 : on apt-get I only get 64 bits version, should I build a 32 version? [15:00] Klaz168: edit it with a text editor [15:00] anyone help me? [15:00] erUSUL: I can do it with middlemouse [15:00] please [15:00] SkyNetMaster: apt-get install alien.i386 [15:00] Nasra yea same here. and if you find some thing let me know too.

[15:01] But as I kill some time playing random games, sometimes I need to be able to press mouse1 and mouse2 buttons at the same time [15:01] OxideZA: difficult to say until we hear what your question is :-) [15:01] nectar: done deal....

I may work with OpenSolaris temporarily. So i thought instead of dual booting its better to use VirtualBox on ubuntu [16:36] khaije1: what I don't know is how to deal with the alphabet soup that's in /etc/fstab now === administrator___ is now known as ForzaPalermo [16:37] hey guys i have a question. i just bought two 1.5tb harddrives [16:37] gordonjcp: if for any reason you rearrange the disks uuid will prevent your system from breaking, sometimes this reordering can happen accidentally or surprisings [16:37] gordonjcp: using UUID's isn't that hard, they rarely change anyway ... to find those, run "sudo blkid" [16:37] how do i install a compiz theme?? [16:37] khaije1: I rearranged the disks, and now it's completely knackered [16:37] i would like to raid or lvm them... what is better, and then how can i go ahead and do that... i dont want the OS installed on the two hd [16:37] s [16:38] khaije1: none of the disks mount in the right place, I have no swap, and I have no way to figure out how to put it right [16:38] gordonjcp: in fstab it's best to use uuid then add comments with the sda1-style names above or below them [16:38] khaije1: okay, but how? [16:38] khaije1: do I just make up a random string of letters or what? [16:38] darknight, if it's going to be temporarily, VirtualBox might be a great solution for you. [16:38] Ok, people, thaks! More definite question: I need to install audio drivers for laptop ASUS M50VC; lspci in terminal says I've got "Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [16:38] " ad it has not recognized automaticaly. [16:38] khaije1: I don't even *want* UUIDs [16:38] how can i know the graphic card version? [16:38] rai: lspci [16:39] gordonjcp: do you understand what the benefit of uuid is? === renan_saddam__ is now known as renan_saddam [16:39] khaije1: no, I don't [16:39] gordonjcp: run sudo blkid to find those UUID's [16:39] im getting errors running almost any program, gdb keeps mentioning "/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2" how do i fix this? [16:39] glitsj16: it only returns /dev/sda1's UUID [16:39] Huufarted; i may work with XP for a long time [16:39] glitsj16:how can i know the graaphic card version?what is the code for that? [16:39] then I'd recommend a dual boot Ubuntu/XP [16:40] rai: lspci [16:40] rai: like mentioned earlier --> lspci | grep VGA [16:40] rai: type in "lspci" and look for your graphics card [16:40] can anybody help me with some newb questions? [16:40] I had 8.04 and updated to 8.10. Things work fine except a lot of minor things. Example: I have in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf the SoundOnLogin, SoundOnLoginSuccess to false, yet I get sound when I login successfully [16:40] glitsj16: what happens when I create new partitions, then? [16:40] gordonjcp: are your other partitions/drives unmounted perhaps ? [16:40] glitsj16: yes, of course they're unmounted [16:41] glitsj16: there's no UUID [16:41] gordonjcp: new partitions get a new UUID, track those down with sudo blkid and add them to /etc/fstab [16:41] Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [16:41] how do i install a compiz theme?? [16:41] You can change the uuid if you want :) with the tune2fs command i recall [16:41] glitsj16: I just told you, sudo blkid only returns a UUID for /dev/sda1 [16:41] how do i install a compiz [16:41] gordonjcp: uuid = universally uniqe ID, its a way of getting a unique fingerprint for a partition or disk and then using that to locate it rather than a name based on the order it is discovered on the device bus [16:41] theme [16:42] gordonjcp-> try sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart to reinitiate the udev and sysfs naming of these UUID [16:42] I'm using the minimal install for 8.04. Will it be pretty easy to install the files necessary for bluetooth mouse/KB? [16:42] gordonjcp: i saw that, no need to repeat [16:42] gordonjcp: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [16:42] khaije1: I would never ever want to do that under any circumstances [16:42] glitsj16: ok, so what generates new UUIDs for new partitions? [16:43] gordonjcp: it's a hash [16:43] khaije1: you can say that again [16:43] gordonjcp: did you try producing an /etc/fstab without UUID's ? i believe that should still work if you are so inclined [16:43] Huufarted; not only XP but also Fedora... [16:43] glitsj16: I did, it threw an error [16:44] khaije1: I really can't think of a situation where I'd want to refer to disks by a big long string rather than just the name [16:44] DarkKnight, install XP first, then go with the Linux installations [16:44] Is adding bluetooth to ubuntu easy? [16:44] gordonjcp: it seems like you don't understand, but if you want to use it the old way you may still do that [16:44] gordonjcp, the /dev/* names change when adding/removing disks. The UUID's do not [16:44] Seveas: yes, that's right [16:44] khaije1: I don't see the advantage [16:45] Hi everyone, regarding Conky, I want someone who is actually using it to tell me the usage pattern, do you launch it whenever you want to check system stats or do you keep it running, if it's running how do you display it, etc [16:45] I *want* the /dev/ names to change when I add or remove disks, that's the whole point [16:45] gordonjcp, also, when mixing ide and sata (what people do), the names can change every reboot due to timeing issues [16:45] xee, runs at login, and stays running all the time. [16:45] okay great fine [16:45] xee, if its confifgured right it shows up on the desktop same as the wallpaper [16:45] yes, you're all absolutely right [16:45] gordonjcp, yes, they should change. But we don't want people to have to edit /etc/fstab when adding/removing disks [16:45] UUID is the best thing in the world ever [16:46] gordonjcp-> here is a link that explain how udev and sysfs works together to create that UUID http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html [16:46] UUID is better than bacon, chilli jam and Jesus === abuchanan is now known as ne2k__ [16:46] <_VIM_> !attitude | gordonjcp [16:46] gordonjcp: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

[16:46] gordonjcp: just checked the man for blkid, you can specify the device, i left that out, in which case the system reads info from /proc/partitions, so if you know the device names, you should be able to produce all needed UUID's [16:46] <_VIM_> not having a meltdown helps, breath ;) [16:46] gordonjcp, find the UUID with blk_id or vol_id and use it ) [16:46] im not getting an IP address through an ethernet connection - is there a bug in intrepid's dhclient?

[16:58] KenBW2-> what does it meant by that ? supposedly connects? what indicators are you using? [16:58] is their a special version of ubuntu that runs on tablet pc? [16:58] glitsj16: it doesn't return anything at all [16:58] gordonjcp: odd indeed [16:58] gordonjcp, if blkid doesn't show the partition, it doesn't exist :) [16:58] Seveas: it exists alright [16:58] hang on hang on [16:58] n8tuserf: NetworkManager does some swirling and tells me im coinnected, but ifconfig doesnt list an IP address [16:58] does ubuntu run a tablet pc? [16:58] Hi, other that gedit and openofficeword which other simple wordprocessor can I install and use in ubuntu Hardy? [16:58] Seveas: good point, what if the swapfs has been twatted [16:58] Matic: abiword perhaps ? [16:58] <_VIM_> Matic: Abiword maybe [16:58] Seveas: is UUID stored as part of the fs or part of the partition table? [16:58] <_VIM_> stop that glitsj16 ;) [16:59] gordonjcp-> lets approach this differently, cat /sys/block and post it in pastebin [16:59] has anyone some repos with up2date apache / php etc. ? [16:59] n8tuserf: no, hang on, I think I'm onto something here [16:59] gordonjcp, I believe it's not part of the fs [16:59] <_VIM_> !backports | GooD2KnoW [16:59] GooD2KnoW: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [16:59] gonna mkswap my swap partition and see [16:59] _VIM_: if i see the winning lotto numbers for your zip-code, i won't publish them here .. agreed :p [16:59] Seveas: yeah I just did mkswap and it returned a UUID [17:00] and now blkid is returning a UUID too [17:00] <_VIM_> haha! [17:00] wtf [17:00] glitsj16, _VIM_ thanks man! [17:00] gordonjcp, so it is part of the 'fs' (swapspace isn't really an fs) [17:00] KenBW2-> if ifconfig does not give you an ip address then you dont have an ip address, maybe the nm is funky [17:00] Seveas: some sort of magic metadata, certainly [17:00] Seveas: weird [17:00] Matic: you're welcome, abiword is quite nice and responsive [17:00] n8tuserf: i established that already, but this has happened on 2 PCs when i try to run Intrepid on my network [17:01] Im using xchat and my userlist disapeared, how do I get it back? [17:01] gordonjcp actually, if you (and me) had read the manpage properly, we'd have known already. First few lines [17:01] The blkid program is the command-line interface to working with libblkid(3) library. It can deter‐ [17:01] mine the type of content (e.g. filesystem, swap) a block device holds, and also attributes (tokens, [17:01] NAME=value pairs) from the content metadata (e.g. LABEL or UUID fields). [17:01] <_VIM_> Corganis: look in Window menu [17:01] Seveas: hah [17:01] prince_jammys, do you know how fast grep is? say it has 850~MB of data to go through? [17:01] Corganis, view -> userlist (or ctrl+f7) [17:02] Seveas: what, instead of just jumping ahead to the options? [17:02] ;-) [17:02] KenBW2-> so try to use command line instead [17:02] Mattias: "pretty damn fast" [17:02] thanks guys! [17:02] n8tuserf: using what command(s)? [17:02] KenBW2-> you want the interface up? sudo ifup eth0; down? sudo ifdown eth0 [17:02] Mattias: keep in mind your "sentence" must appear all on one line for it to match. grep is line-based [17:03] Seveas: there's some sort of header in my swap partition [17:03] prince_jammys, including white space? [17:03] Mattias: huh? whatever you are matching must appear all on one line [17:03] I doubt I'll get a response, but.....I'm VERY frustrated; every few boots, my X Server stops working. After the splash screen, the monitor goes amber, and begins shutting on and off. The only solution I've found is to reconfigure the X server from the recovery console. After that, things are fine for another few boots. The ONLY error I get is the (it seems) famous MTRR error. [17:04] prince_jammys, nvm, I read that wrong ^.^ yeah, it's on the same line in the middle of a sentence, or rather code [17:04] n8tuserf: "Ignoring unknown interdace eth0=eth0." === nicolas_ is now known as Guest88042 [17:04] right well, seriously, thanks for the help and advice [17:04] Mattias: run the command somewhere where you know it is, to make sure there's no mistake in the way you typed the string [17:04] and just remember, fdisk might not leave things alone even when it looks like it should [17:04] KenBW2-> then you have to insert the iface eth0 inet dhcp; auto eth0 in the interfaces file [17:06] n8tuserf: where's the interfaces file [17:06] KenBW2: /etc/network/interfaces [17:06] prince_jammys, recently had a hacker exploit a non updated calendar called thyme. it had a bad vulnerability -.- allowed the hacker to upload php scripts. found 2x copies so far without using a search. hopefully there are no more left. [17:07] Mattias: ah [17:07] they used the php script to send spam -.- [17:07] Mattias: if there was an attack, reinstall the system with other passwords [17:07] n8tuserf: then ifdown and ifup again? [17:08] KenBW2-> as root or use sudo yes [17:08] DIFH-iceroot, updated and changed all passwords, this is on a webhost. so can't reinstall the actual system. [17:08] DIFH-iceroot, http://www.extrosoft.com/About/Thyme/Thyme_Vulnerability/ <-- thats what they used [17:09] Mattias: hm, ok [17:09] Come now....surely SOMEONE has some experience with X? [17:10] Eurysilas: just ask your question [17:10] how do I upgrade to latest subversion in ubuntu gutsy? [17:10] ah the old 'throw down the gauntlet' tactic [17:10] Eurysilas: what's your problem? [17:10] DIFH-iceroot, I already DID. No response. [17:10] rubydiamond: Gutsy is on the verge of no longer being suppourted upgrade to Hardy Heron 8.04 or Intrepid Ibex 8.10 [17:10] rubydiamond, you mean latest svn, or latest version thats in the repositories ? [17:11] I want latest command line svn...

[17:12] sebsebseb: Intrepid Ibex. [17:12] yeah ruby, the repositories were upgraded from svn 1.4 to svn 1.5 [17:12] Eurysilas: how old is your graphics card?

I've asked at the windows IRC channel for suggestions but wondering if you guys have any sggestions for fixing the drive... [18:17] ...(you seem to be more technically minded). Is there software (either windows, linux or boot from cd) that can just completly wipe and format my drive as I think it may be corrupt [18:17] Mplayer [18:18] hi Incarus [18:18] , try to wipe it in windows -> secure wiper [18:18] where is secure wiper?

I'll try that one out when I do another remote desktop session with my brother. I'll get back here if I encounter more probs. Thanks again [18:28] crist1: There was a time when Windows wanted to be in the first partition of a drive. Not sure if that is still the case with XP or not. [18:29] nythacker, np [18:29] , i think its fixed [18:29] Plugh: so if for instance i have only one hard drive i have to install windows in the primary section and not extended? [18:29] Incarus: i did :( [18:30] , then its a driver problem = no help [18:30] , yes [18:30] crist1: If the problem has been fixed as Incarus believes, you may be ok. [18:30] crist1, yes, faily certain that windows must be a primary, active partition [18:30] I've just always had Windows in the first partition. [18:31] crist1, linux can run from an extended [18:31] right. Primary partition. [18:31] Incarus: omg! the hell with it then. [18:31] Incarus: driver seems installed just fine intel hda with alsa [18:31] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 04) [18:32] , change standard recording device to microphone [18:32] strange, snd_hda_intel [18:32] Titan8990: it's more compled, i have ubuntu installed with mount points for / /home and /opt, and / is on the primary partition so i can't fuck that up, it has only 20 gb anyway [18:32] Incarus: did that [18:32] Titan8990: elaborate please [18:32] crist1, you can have 4 primary partitions on each hard disk [18:32] I ripped a dvd into .iso. Then I burned the image to dvd. It plays fine in my computer, but I can't play it in my regular home dvd player? [18:32] strange, I was just pointing out that the drivers for that chipset were snd_hda_intel [18:33] strange, unsure on the rest of your problem [18:33] ic [18:33] , yes, mbr is lost [18:33] Titan8990: how so lol, i thought it's partitioned in primary and extended, and i can have more than 1 extended but just 1 primary [18:33] crist1, 4 primary, unlimited extended [18:33] what do i put in workgroup for when setting up samba ? [18:33] crist1, what you are thinking of is active, you can only have 1 active [18:33] Incarus: What did I do wrong? I'm using k9copy. [18:34] Titan8990: i'll give it a tought, thanks a lot anyway! [18:34] crist1, np [18:34] , i think your prog did wrong [18:34] technically, it would be 3 primary partitions with the fourth being an extended one.

[18:54] rrplay the thing is i the settings are same [18:54] WarriorSlayer, page 10 of the install guide [18:54] i dont want to use terminal and i want to transfer files on a LAN not the internet [18:54] noiz_ it also has all the info for keybindings [18:55] rrplay and the other keybinds are there and one thing more , my mouse works on cs [18:55] Titan8990: ty very much dude, gonna read a lot here ^^ [18:55] rrplay just the keyboards does not [18:55] WarriorSlayer, good luck man [18:55] sushiX: You shouldn't be so afraid of the terminal. however, over LAN you might want to try samba. You can configure this in System -> Admin -> Shared Folders, I think. [18:55] You can use SFTP via the Nautilus GUI on a network --- it doesn't have to be over Internet [18:55] Titan8990: a gentoo install uses a initrd if you set one up :p [18:56] noiz_ sometimes a gui interface can acidentally change it [18:56] sushiX: If not samba, then dc++ might also be a good idea, but you'll need to run a dc++ server. [18:56] rrplay oh and one more things , left from the number 1 is ^ button , and well after i changed the keyboard stuff i went on cs and try'd to open console but it did not open [18:56] any other options other than samba since both machine are ubuntu [18:56] , do you play cs in wine? [18:56] rrplay so what , you advise me to reformat? not again no please [18:56] rrplay yes , ofcourse [18:56] sushiX: You can use samba on ubuntu. Send and receive. [18:56] sushiX, NFS, http, ftp, rsync [18:56] bonsoir [18:56] sushix, just install OpenSSH on each Ubuntu machine ... then just connect the machines using Places -> Connect to Server and select SSH [18:56] rrplay any other way to play it ? +.+ [18:57] !fr | majax [18:57] majax: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [18:57] sushiX, I recommend against the slow crappy SMB/CIFs protocol [18:57] Everything will be GUI-based over Nautilus [18:57] noiz_ this file is usually in ~./config mamybe get another rc.xml that's a new install [18:57] sushiX: Yea OpenSSH is another good solution.

[19:00] noiz_, privat chat [19:00] Right now the machine has only one XP NTFS partition. [19:00] felixsulla, does the drive show up? [19:00] Incarus, :sorry about that my bad [19:00] I was under the impression the Ubuntu installer can repartition to add Ubuntu to the computer? [19:01] hey everyone [19:01] is there a ubuntu pkg for secondlife viewer? [19:01] felixsulla, if you don't mind losing all your data === LjL-Temp is now known as LjL [19:01] felixsulla, we get tons of people that think the same thing, and they accidently wipe their windows partition [19:01] felixsulla, nothing is magic [19:01] How do you install without wiping out windows? [19:01] felixsulla, first, backup all important data === xun is now known as Guest67854 [19:02] felixsulla, then resize the partition using gparted from the livecd [19:02] Titan8990: Its an older box, so the data is already safe. [19:02] axisys: not a tested official one, but http://www.getdeb.net/app/Second+Life (and google has more) [19:02] gparted? Is that an Ubuntu thing or a windows thing? [19:02] What is the livecd? [19:02] !gparted > felixsulla (felixsulla, see the private message from ubottu) [19:02] its quite easy, backup stuff, resize partition, create new, install on that [19:02] felixsulla, the livecd is the standard ubuntu installer [19:02] LjL: thnx [19:03] felixsulla, lets you "try" before you install [19:03] So, boot to the "live" version, then use apt-get to install gparted, then make a partition for UBunutu, then reboot using teh cd? [19:03] uh... [19:03] actually the installer *can* shrink down the windows partition fine, without using gparted manually [19:03] of course, a backup *is* important to have [19:03] felixsulla, gparted is already on the livecd, not need to use apt-get and no need to reboot the cd [19:03] hello, what's the ubuntu equivalent of the "slice tool" in PS. I need to code a site from a design and I've played around with Gimp but couldn't find anything similar. [19:04] So Gparted is in the Ubuntu bootable on the live cd? [19:04] LjL, and you trust that? [19:04] felixsulla, yes [19:04] Titan8990: yes i do - it just uses the same backend that gparted uses, after all. of course, i only trust it to the same extent that i trust gparted, i.e. i'd never run it without a backup === thiago_ is now known as m4tri_x [19:05] LjL, gparted uses partman backend? === m4tri_x is now known as m4tri_X [19:05] So there is no difference between using gparted and using the livecd installer as far as partioning is concerned? [19:05] felixsulla, seems that way [19:07] Titan8990: there is currently no "partman" package, it's all in the "ubiquity" package. and you can see that "ubiquity" depends on "libparted1.7-1" (your version may vary, i'm on hardy), that's the same thing that "gparted" depends on [19:08] hi [19:08] some one like talk [19:08] !offtopic [19:08] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [19:09] LjL, alright, I get it now [19:10] LjL, parted is the backedend, gparted is the GUI based front end and partman is the TUI front-end [19:10] So Ibex uses ubiquity too? [19:10] Titan8990, does partman use parted? [19:10] didn't know that :) [19:11] felixsulla, ubiquity for gui installes and d-i for text-based instals [19:11] Titan8990: i guess, though partman doesn't seem to be an available package in hardy. anyway, it's to be said that parted itself doesn't support NTFS resizing, so gparted relies on ntfsprogs for that (i think), while ubiquity doesn't depends on it [19:11] Titan8990: my guess, though, is that it uses it anyway even without depending on it [19:11] LjL, partman is part of d-i, it probably only exists as udeb package for use there [19:12] Seveas: ah ok. it is referenced in my package list as a matter of fact, just not available === crbrocket is now known as nims [19:12] my networkmanager applet has disappeared from my xfce4-panel - how do i restore it? [19:12] i'm getting a grub error 21. here's my menu.lst: http://paste.ubuntu.com/122958/ and my fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/122959/ [19:12] KenBW2, in the terminal: network-manager-applet & [19:12] KenBW2, right click -> add new item [19:13] Seveas, by default does xubuntu use gnome applets? [19:13] if that says the applet is running, add the notification area/system tray/whatever xfce calls it applet [19:13] Titan8990, network-manager-applet isn't really an applet. The icon appears in the notification area instead of as a separate applet [19:13] alguien abla español ? [19:13] !es | Suicky [19:13] Suicky: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [19:13] !es [19:13] beat me to it [19:13] Seveas, but is it dependent on xfapplet? [19:14] It can see it as windows, but I have to go to manual to change it. [19:14] What manual setting doesnt nuke windows? heh [19:14] Titan8990, the notification area thing is cross-desktop, works in gnome, kde and xfce [19:14] I am trying to figure out how to improve my dvd player performance, I seem to get a weird gainy effect on fast motion [19:15] i can't boot into ubuntu, i'm getting a grub error 21 [19:15] Seveas: it says command not found [19:15] What's the linux equivilent to windows server active directory? and what distro should I use for such thing? [19:15] KenBW2, sorry, it's called nm-applet [19:15] how can i download with resume with sftp / via ssh ? [19:16] crist1, rsync [19:16] Hey guys say I wanted to test out the KDE desktop on 8.10. Would I just install kubuntu-dektop package, and then would that be safe as I want to keep my gnome desktop in case i don't like kde / [19:17] dusty, correct [19:17] yes, dusty [19:17] Awesome, how do I switch between them ? [19:17] Seveas: "Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service as it is already taken. Return: 3" [19:17] dusty: you're given a choice in your login screen [19:17] On my machine, nash-hotplug starts on boot, has the same PID each time, and uses 100% CPU. I've read it is part of Xen but I don't seem to have Xen on my machine. The file name /bin/nash mentioned in the output from ps doesn't exist on my computer. Any ideas what is starting this process? [19:17] dusty: yep.. just change "sessions" on the user name password screen.. also look for instructions on the kde site for bumping to kde vs. 4.2 [19:18] i can't boot my pc because of a grub error. what can i do [19:18] dusty: that is the ubuntu kde references. [19:18] KenBW2, that means it's already running. Add the notification area/system tray applet back to the panel [19:18] Seveas: it's not listed [19:18] testing timestamp, ignore this [19:18] Awesome, thank you guys. [19:18] how much room do i need for ubuntu, if i just am going to install OS plus Open Office. All my media will be on main partition? [19:18] anyone have any experience with desktop launchers in gdm 2.22 [19:18] Seveas: i tried killall nm-applet and then nm-applet & again and it makes all the right noises, but does nothing [19:19] like i have a macbook and want to dual boot, how big should i make partition [19:19] today i had somefiles shared on ubuntu over ethernet lan and opened my ip on windows on a remote system then it showed all the files i shared and started copying from my system to that system, but it stopped after some time [19:19] how to make my sound output also be my sound input? [19:19] Charliehorse I think the minimum install by default is about 2.2 GB [19:20] okay so liek 5gb would be good? [19:20] Yeah I would think so. as long as you aren't going to be storing data there as well [19:20] KenBW2, I have no experience with xfce so I don't know the exact name of the system tray applet. Maybe #xubuntu knows/ [19:20] ? [19:20] i'm a moderatly advance computer user [19:20] areay: the nice thing about grub is you have a chance to recover by using the grub command line. [19:20] dusty: the other way is to run Jaunty's alpha in a vm in Virtualbox.. in fact you can do that with just about anything :) .. [19:20] imri303 yeah i won't be storing data [19:20] i can't boot into ubuntu, i'm getting a grub error 21/ [19:20] Seveas: there's #xubuntu? oops [19:21] sh** sorry [19:21] Charliehorse I have thin clients running with OO on 4GB disk on modules :) [19:21] Charliehorse so 5 should be fine [19:21] Plugh, i've tried loads of stuff but nothing's working... i followed like 9 different blogs [19:21] Seveas: thanks a lot!

[20:00] ninom, kismet would be a geeky, yet very good tool for that [20:00] tehboriz: use a blank password for keyring [20:01] it didn't let me do that when i installed 8.10 [20:01] hi [20:01] tehboriz: hm dont know, 8.04 works fine with blank keyword [20:01] mikkysixx, yes i saw the network manager, but it doesnt list any connections around me or my wireless connection i have to manually type the ssid and so on [20:01] ninom, you can add gps data and have it speak the names/status of those access points too [20:01] nomasteryoda, how to do this ? [20:02] DIFH-iceroot, i'm looking for more of stuff like "this lets you modify essential parts of the system, plz enter password" - workaround [20:02] ninom, sudo apt-get install kismet [20:02] you are doing software [20:02] ok i gotta switch my connection to my router and than i ll connect and do this [20:02] how do i make repositories enabled? [20:02] nomasteryoda, i will try this and if nothing i ll be back :) [20:03] hi [20:03] so i asked some help before and the guy i asked screwed absolutly everything up [20:04] rrplay, bah, just like before, it worked for a while, and now it resets to the lowest speed no matter what I do. :/ [20:04] now i cant use absolutly no good graphix [20:04] Jackel add then to /etc/apt/sources.lst [20:04] rrplay who was the guy who was helping me? , he ruined everything :( [20:04] noiz_, how did he manage that? [20:04] rrplay he told me to edit some config [20:04] hacke; see here as well http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/ [20:04] noiz_, which config? did you make a backup? [20:04] noiz_, which config ?? [20:05] titan8990 no but he told me to change only 1 thing [20:05] rrplay it was the graphix thingy or something [20:05] rrplay he told me to add "driver" "fireijorwwhatevertherewas" [20:05] noiz : was /etc/X11/xorg.con ?? [20:05] noiz_, that would be xorg.conf [20:05] rrplay yes really familiar [20:05] noiz_, just change it back [20:06] rrplay, always have the user make a backup of config files before changing them [20:06] Titan8990, thanks [20:06] Titan8990 but how i get my graphix how they were before [20:06] titan8990 thank you [20:06] rrplay, I've seen that before, setting it manually doesn't work either, unfortunately. I guess it must be some larger bug. === Brucey is now known as Brucee [20:06] noiz_, what was it before you changed it? [20:06] noiz_, or, what graphics card are you using? [20:06] guys, if I change my MAC address in Linux (Ubuntu)... will this also reflect on my Windows dual-boot installation? [20:06] titan8990 the problem was [20:06] Pokshun, no [20:06] titan8990 that i did have bad graphix at cs so he asked what i told ati radeon [20:07] titan8990 then he talked something that i dont have any working drivers [20:07] Titan8990, I did not have noiz edit his file someone else [20:07] rrplay it was somone else. [20:07] it was the guy whos name started whith i >d [20:07] noiz_, alright, change whatever the driver was to: Driver "radeon" [20:07] incarus [20:07] titan8990 noo titan [20:07] noiz_, but make a backup first: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [20:08] noiz_, alright, then don't.... [20:08] titan8990 no you dont get it [20:08] hackel: from the looks of it you are not alone with your chipset and scaling problems [20:08] titan8990 the thing was there was no "driver" there before [20:08] noiz_, what don't I get? [20:08] noiz_, alright, but I am telling you what driver will work [20:08] I am unsure of how to install Notefinder in Ubuntu 8.10. Can anyone help me telling me exactly what to type in the terminal? http://code.google.com/p/notefinder/ [20:08] noiz_, the open source radeon driver will always get you in [20:08] Titan: if I change my MAC address using the macchanger utility, how do I revert back to the original MAC address? [20:09] titan8990 i have ati radeon 9200 [20:09] noiz_, you just won't be able to get 3D going [20:09] Hello [20:09] noiz_, that, you can worry about after your system boots [20:09] titan8990 but can you help me whith that after? [20:09] noiz_, possibly [20:09] hey is the alpha release of 9.04 out? [20:09] titan8990 how i open that xorg stuff anyways ? :/ [20:09] was the bug that makes over cycles on hd fixed on ubuntu 8.10? [20:09] ubuntu keeps kicking my putty session off. How do I stop this [20:10] noiz_, AFTER you make the backup: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:10] titan8990 sorry i have been on linux only for 4 months and i am not the birghtest kid around the block [20:10] thewrath, see #ubuntu+1, i think, for best news on that [20:10] I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu. I bought a DJ effects processor, I pluged it into my pc (through USB) and now I would like to ask how do I set it so the music that comes out of my laptops speakers is the music run though the effects processor [20:10] ? [20:10] titan8990 it says permission [20:10] titan8990 permission denied [20:11] Hello all, I am using virtualbox to run ubuntu is there something i can do so that I can change the screen resolution at the mo I only have one choice? [20:11] noiz_, thats because you didn't use sudo [20:11] hello, whats the preferred driver for an ati radeon x300? [20:11] to play a commercial game in wine [20:11] dan, does the effects processor have a native (its own) driver for linux? [20:11] hab qt4.5 über ein ppa installiert. wie werd ich's wieder los? [20:12] bernz, it does'nt need one, it does'nt use anysoftware. [20:12] Anyone know why my latest version of adobe flash isn't working? [20:12] got qt 4.5 from a ppa, how do i get rid of it? [20:12] titan8990 he made me open in a notepad somehow [20:12] Droopsta915: not working is a very good description [20:12] titan8990 alot easyer to find it there :O [20:12] bernz, what do you think I have to set? [20:12] dan, ...but it's in fact a USB device? (i didn't know devices like that would have a "common" driver, like mass storage (MSD), for example) [20:13] ninom1, ok .. now you need to put in your card model like this site says... its a little bit of editing the /etc/kismet/kismet.conf file, but not much unless you want to do GPS and speech too. ... i'm finding a good howto url for you... I just keep copying my kismet.conf file into /etc/kismet/ from a backup as it always is the same for my wireless card [20:13] hi...i am not at a linux pc, so can someone tell me a US server that has the ubuntu repo on it? [20:13] bernz, it's not a USB device, I had a special wire that switches it from RCA to USB [20:13] adamw9678, generally, you have to install Virtual Box guest additions on the *guest* OS, but I recall it didn't work for me with Ubuntu 8.04, although worked with most other linuxes. [20:13] titan8990 this does not look the same :/ [20:13] titan8990 it looks alot diffrent [20:13] DIFH-iceroot:Yes it is. lol [20:14] !download | Jimi_Hendrix [20:14] Jimi_Hendrix: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Intrepid, and help keeping the servers' load low! [20:14] titan8990 can we talk in private ? alot easyer [20:14] ok he bailed on me [20:14] Somone want to help me out whit my graphix? ;/ [20:14] dan, ahhh... so are you using line-in/line-out to put your fx processor "inline"? (sounds like that would be the way) -- in that case, your soundcard and driver need to support full duplex (most modern ones do) [20:15] noiz_, so did you backup and edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as he advised? [20:15] macrobad_ yes [20:15] bernz, Yes, how do I switch it on my ubuntu computer to be able to hear the music run through the effects processor? [20:15] Dan, if you have a brand/model number, i could "see" the device on the Web and get a better idea [20:15] One second. [20:15] macrobad_ but it still seems weirder than the one i saw when the other guy told me to change it before the problem [20:15] question: i have a wd external firewire hard drive.. can i partiton off a few 100 gigs for ubuntu and boot off of that on my macbook pro? [20:15] what filesystem is a dvd? I'm trying to mount it but getting "wrong fs type[...]" errors [20:15] macrobad_ there is alot more stuff on it [20:16] Hello. Sometimes when I boot my server, a dialouge appears where I can choose from resuming regular startup, repair filesystem, repair broken packages and so on. I want it to always just resume startup. Is this possible? [20:16] noiz_, yeah, you can send me a PM but I am working on some stuff of my own [20:16] hackel, ; your problem solved if not try this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=394911 [20:16] bernz: PM [20:16] Hey guys. I just finished installing vbox and i am having trouble setting up my first Virtual Machine. [20:16] DIFH-iceroot, i ment a mirror that firefox would be downloaded from if i do sudo apt-get install firefox [20:16] noiz_, what kind of picture do you have now? Is it 640x480 or what? What do you call weird? I do not quite understand what exactly is your problem. [20:17] macrobad_ it is 800*600 cant go bigger [20:17] can anyone help with installing ubuntu on a macbook pro though duel booting? [20:17] DIFH-iceroot:I can't see videos. It says I need to upgrade, when I upgrade, it says I already have the latest version. [20:17] macrobad_ and when i go to cs my fps now 10 times less [20:17] what filesystem is a dvd? I'm trying to mount it but getting "wrong fs type[...]" errors [20:17] rrplay, I'm still having trouble, but I don't think these tools will work because even the low-level proc interface doesn't work, it seems like a kernel issue. [20:17] noiz_, run 'lsmod -l | grep radeon' to check whether radeon driver is properly loaded [20:18] if you are using virtual box have you installed additions? [20:18] hackel that's why we sometimes config a custom kernel [20:18] macrobad_ Usage: lsmod [20:18] Hi guys [20:18] err [20:19] :/? [20:19] Hello [20:19] hello [20:19] noiz_, sry, I meant 'lsmod | grep radeon' [20:19] :) [20:19] hackel, : because those options in a custom kernel are avail and specific [20:19] macrobad_ np, radeon 123296 0 [20:19] drm 80660 1 radeon [20:19] I never use linux. But I want to use linux. [20:19] rrplay, yeah, maybe I'll get around to that eventually! [20:20] macrobad_ before he told me to write alot of stuff to terminal and paste the output [20:20] macrobad_ but i am too dumb to fix :/ === Mud is now known as Mud|shower [20:20] macrobad_ he was talking abaut something ati drivers not working properly [20:20] hackel I know for sure that those are options would very likely solve your problem done corecctly [20:21] hackel: the kernel is the heart of linux anyhow [20:21] macrobad_ so i dont actually know what to do anymore [20:21] macrobad_ now i am stuck on even worse graphix than before and i cant fix it :) [20:21] noiz_, well if you have loaded the right radeon driver, and it still works worse then it used to, there are two solutions. 1. try to configure it. 2. reset xorg.conf into default settings [20:21] Jimi_Hendrix: you cant download firefox directly from the repos apt-get is using but apt-cd is maybe what you need [20:21] !apt-cd | Jimi_Hendrix [20:21] jhonnyboy what the prob? [20:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-cd [20:21] macrobad_ how i do that? [20:22] !aptoncd | Jimi_Hendrix [20:22] Jimi_Hendrix: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [20:22] macrobad_ :/ [20:22] rrplay, heh, yes I realize that, I've been compiling kernels for 10 years. The problem is I still want the CPU to scale normally, it's just that I need it to be at the highest level for Flash video. [20:22] noiz_, I know how to do the second, you run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg', but let's try to configure it first [20:23] hackel:: me too [20:23] macrobad_ would it be easyer on pm? [20:23] DIFH-iceroot, ok well what server (or just a list of servers is fine) would i download x from when i do apt-get install x [20:23] hackel: thought i saw a few script a while ago adressing the same isssue hang on [20:24] noiz_, ah, let us discuss it on the channel. Maybe there is someone with Radeon here, who could help you, because I don't even have it. :) [20:24] Jimi_Hendrix: look at /etc/apt/sources.list === diego is now known as Guest79720 [20:24] hi [20:24] macrobad_ oh pellets , ok well [20:24] macrobad_ so where should i start? [20:24] DIFH-iceroot, can you just post one...i am not on a linux computer [20:24] has anoyone gotten compiz fusion working with the nvidia driver? [20:24] noiz_ just a sec, I'll check one thing [20:25] macrobad_ he even gave me some page [20:25] Jimi_Hendrix: just a german http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [20:25] ok [20:25] that will do i just want to see something [20:25] macrobad_ i still have the page if you would like [20:25] macrobad_ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xgl/+bug/145715 [20:26] macrobad_ he explained that , my drivers are not working and my pc is trying to 3d render or sumth [20:26] noiz_, btw, which system do you have? [20:27] macrobad_ amm ,ubuntu [20:27] macrobad_ i accidently run into linux few months ago when my box was intruded by some skiddie [20:27] noiz_, I mean, which Ubuntu? [20:27] macrobad_ i replaced my windows whith linx / bad mistake [20:27] macrobad_ amm .. i am not shure >D [20:28] macrobad_ and if it is helpful then i think i am not using a dvi / what ever that is [20:28] Hallo [20:28] macrobad_ how i find out what ubuntu i am on [20:29] noiz_ :) 'cat /etc/lsb-release' would show the contents of the specified file, and it should be written there [20:29] macrobad_Ubuntu 8.04.1" [20:29] macrobad_ ubuntu 8.04.1 :D [20:30] noiz_ Oh, I have almost the same: Ubuntu 8.04.2 [20:30] c u [20:30] macrobad_ that should make things a little easyer i think :d [20:30] macrobad_ heh all the things i do for my gaming and linux , missing top gear atm :D [20:30] macrobad_ ah the agony [20:31] How can I view videos if I cant use flash mediaplayer? [20:32] macrobad_ so what should i do? or are you looking in to it already ? :) [20:32] can anybody send me full port scanner i.e fin,null etc [20:32] exit [20:33] Oh god [20:33] noiz_, what? [20:33] hackel, :: what processor are you running and kernel ?? [20:33] Anyone here whit a radeon ati 9200 and know's how to actually make it work ? === picca-afk is now known as picca [20:34] macrobad_ eh nothing . [20:34] noiz_: i used to have one of those that worked fine with the free radeon driver [20:34] rrplay, Intel Core2 Duo T8300, 2.6.28-6-generic. [20:35] erUSUL well .. it does but not 3d render [20:35] noiz_, 'aptitude show xserver-xgl | grep State' should tell us whether you have XGL rendering enabled or not. it might be a problem [20:35] hackel, really sweet man ! [20:35] will any version work via usb flash drive/ [20:35] noiz_: iirc it is blacklisted for compiz but it can do other 3d stuff just fine [20:35] rrplay, heh yeah you would THINK a cpu like that could handle playing a simple flash video! If it weren't such garbage software... [20:36] macrobad_ it actually did give no output [20:36] Could someone please tell me briefly: is apt-get the "standard" "preferred" way to install software on Ubuntu or is there some other "standard" tool that's usually used? [20:36] macrobad_ State: not installed [20:36] when you renice a user does/should the nice value get reset on reboot ? [20:36] noiz_ ok, then one possible reason is invalidated [20:36] macrobad_ ok . [20:37] JW: apt-get is fine. aptitude and synaptic and kadept are fine too. they all use the same package management system. [20:37] JW: all tools are just front ends for the same package database apt aptitude synaptic etc [20:37] macrobad_ should i go put my water boiler working to make some coffe , as i can already see it will be going to take time :) [20:37] yeah ok I know about all the front-ends but I wasn't sure if there was some special one that is supposed to be used by most folks. [20:37] is there a command line tool for reconfiguring network settings? or should I just edit the config manually ? [20:37] thanks [20:38] hackel you got more than enough speed man is it just playing flash vids or just speed in general [20:38] noiz_ yeah, why not. I hope, it won't take more then 20 minutes though [20:38] when you renice a user does/should the nice value get reset on reboot ? [20:38] is it possible to configure network manager to use different dhclient.conf configs for different interfaces? i need it to prepend different DNS servers for wireless and wired interfaces. [20:38] rrplay, it's just flash. Also have an nvidia card so have to use their awful proprietary drivers which slow things down. [20:38] macrobad_ that really depends on you and my cooperation :D [20:38] noiz_ can you paste you current xorg.conf to pastebin.org [20:38] macrobad_ yes shure [20:39] hackel: did you install nvidia's 180.29 driver or use the one with ubuntu? [20:39] macrobad_ i cant copy it all together [20:39] hackel oh man this is not the same problem this is way easier then cpu throttling [20:39] macrobad_ when i scroll down the other stuff dissapears and when i scroll up it appears again [20:39] noiz_ why? btw, it is pastebin.com and not pastebin.org [20:40] macrobad_ i am not that dumb >D [20:40] noiz_ which editor do you use? [20:40] hackel previously in this chat others were installing macromedia flas as well [20:40] macrobad_ its in my terminal. [20:40] noiz_ :) sry [20:40] macrobad_ xD [20:40] noiz_ can you open it with gedit? [20:40] macrobad_ how i do that [20:40] macrobad_ i know if i had the command to do that yes i can [20:41] gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:41] howdy, is there anyone here who knows about fluxbox? [20:41] lzinucs: I'm on 180.29. [20:41] or knows the channel for fluxboxbuntu? [20:41] 2D performance is just terrible for this speed CPU. === trumee_ is now known as trumee [20:41] macrobad_ http://pastebin.com/m2bd6b61a [20:42] fiftyone: #fluxbuntu [20:42] rrplay, the problem is that for some reason with the default settings, when flash is running it is not elevating the cpu, causing it to run at 800mhz. [20:42] fasco_ thank you [20:42] hmm.. i'm downloading with epiphany and got 100%, but nothing happens... any ideas? [20:42] guys, i installed asterisk 1.4.21 on ubuntu intrepid 8.10. It is crashing with this error terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error' what(): vector::_M_fill_insert [20:43] anybody uses asterisk here? [20:43] hackel and you still got slow 3d ?? as well [20:43] macrobad_ http://pastebin.com/m2bd6b61a if you didn't see it yet :) [20:43] noiz_ I did. It's pretty messy. :) [20:43] hackel: is that nvidia driver installed properly [20:43] rrplay, no, 3d is decent. [20:43] rrplay, yeah, I'm pretty sure that it's working fine. [20:44] hackel nvidia-xconfig --help [20:44] hi [20:44] lo all. - im using ibex, the network manager is driving me nuts. a) it wont keep any settings i put in it. b) after saving a setting it sometimes disappears. currently on every boot i have to set the eth0 ip manually [20:44] how can make jedit open .txt files by double-clicking with nautilus for ALL users? (using console preferably) [20:44] there is a bug in dcc-client if i install from source tar ball will it make a diffrence [20:44] rrplay, I've already enabled all the optimisations I could find. [20:45] macrobad_ well atleast you can understand few things from it , i cant understand a thing [20:45] how do I reconfigure networking (IP etc) from the command line ? [20:45] hackel:: then it appears to be multimedia codecs [20:45] nano /etc/network/interfaces [20:46] rrplay, well yes, it's Flash, like I said. It's just extremely poorly written and proprietary, it doesn't use hardware acceleration the way mplayer or gstreamer does (which work fine). [20:46] /etc/init.d/networking restart [20:46] hi [20:46] hey guys, my /var/lib/dpkg/status file is missing.. and i can hardly do anything. how can i rebuild a new dpkg status file? [20:46] hackel, it's probably just a matter of reinstalling your flash player [20:47] linxeh: use ifconfig from command line [20:47] I am trying to change the position of the mouse pointer after X is started. Can anyone help me to find some tips, config or something? [20:47] rrplay, I highly doubt that. It's just one library, I'm not using a packaged version. [20:47] I am attempting to use the Connect to Server option in the Places menu to connect to my ssh server, and I am getting an "Unkown error code: 6"... I can ssh into the same machine via a terminal just fine (its actually how I am using irssi right now), but the Connect to Server dialog always fails (and I've double and triple checked the information). Any ideas? [20:48] macrobod_ you editing it or something? [20:48] Gnome sets cursor in the middle of the screed (desktop)... I want to change it [20:48] Can someone help me out I just installed 8.10 fresh on a 64 Bit Desktop. Post install if I run from HD I can't get past a Starting bluetooth hang [20:48] so when I log in the cursor is for example in the bottom left corner... [20:48] noiz_ It seems though that you have ati driver loaded. Anyway, just generally, there are three drivers for ATI Radeon cards, and these are fglrx (fastest, but buggy from Adobe), radeon (stable but slow open source for old ati cards), and radeonhd (stable open source for new ati cards). You seem to use the correct driver, and the correct server version. The only two reasons it can be broken are improper config, and compiz running and preventing [20:48] hackel, are you talking about standalone flash your browser [20:48] erUSUL: sure, but for reboot? are there no scripts that manage the configs in /etc/network ? [20:48] I am trying to get two partitions i have to automount at startup one works the other dosent for some reason one if fat32 the other is NTFS I got the NTFS to moount nicely but the fat 32 dosent want to automount [20:48] has anyone tried to change this ever? [20:48] hey guys, my /var/lib/dpkg/status file is missing.. and i can hardly do anything. how can i rebuild a new dpkg status file? [20:48] hackel, :or your browser [20:49] is it possible to configure network manager to use different dhclient.conf configs for different interfaces? i need it to prepend different DNS servers for wireless and wired interfaces. [20:49] rrplay, in-browser (youtube, hulum etc,). Other people have reported similar issues, so I've accepted that it and am just trying to set the cpu frequency as a work-around until Adobe (or gnash) gets their act together. [20:49] macrobod_ so what happened? he told me to change something and it ruined everything [20:49] erUSUL: and similarly for wireless configs etc [20:49] hackel:: did you try opera ?? go no problem with firefox on 1.87 [20:49] theres no way the network manager can be this broken, surely [20:49] guys, does anybody use asterisk here? [20:50] rrplay, no I haven't tried opera, I don't want to add even more proprietary software to the mix! [20:50] macrobod_ i rebooted and it start then the screen scrambled and then it asked me if i want to configure or run on slow graphix i puted it on configure set everything i could tought on , that was choosing ati drivers and then it didnt let me choose bigger resolution [20:50] macrobod_ that guys whith the name starting whith I sUCKS! [20:50] macrobod_ he ruined everything :/ [20:51] noiz_ Make a backup of xorg.conf with 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.macrobad' and reset the settings into default with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'. It should make at least the desktop look ok. [20:51] hackel so maybe just check your flash plugin [20:51] hackel please see this site reguarding flash http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ [20:51] noiz_ That's why a). backups are essential; b). I never trust anyone on the IRC. ;) [20:51] illumin8, I'm already running the latest version from there. [20:52] macrobod_ and now i will reboot? [20:52] hackel specificly the 64 bit version? [20:52] noiz_: look in your irc logs for what you changed. apparently, you did it in private [20:52] I've had this issue since I got this computer, through all Flash versions, including the 32-bit versions run via ndiswrapper. [20:52] macrobod_ yes i did, i cant find how i see the logs? [20:52] noiz_ Now reboot to ensure everything is updated. [20:53] hackel, the website i linked you is in reguards to the 64 bit version released 2/24/09 [20:53] Any of you use snes9x? [20:53] !ask | Necrosan [20:53] Necrosan: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:53] illumin8, Ahh, sorry, I'm running 10.0d21 which was released a month or so ago. I'll try the latest one now. [20:55] ciao [20:55] hi all! is ~4.16 MB/s an resonable speed when copying ~450 GB from one portable hdd to another with both useing usb2.0 and 7200rpm? [20:55] !list [20:55] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [20:56] johan12, seems a *little* slow, but nothing too bad... i think my best (observed) results are around 6 MB/s, but copying only 300 GB (on identical 500 GB drives) [20:56] illumin8, thanks he hackel should be ok now [20:56] macrobod_ thank you [20:56] rrplay, :) [20:56] macrobod_ actually this is much better [20:56] noiz: great! [20:56] macrobod_ lol now to find some help whith my keyboard dumb mistake [20:56] illumin8, yeah thanks [20:56] macrobod_ i cant use my keyboard on cs anymore for some reason [20:57] I cannot get snes9x to recognize both of my joypads, my config is at http://www.necrosan.com/snes9x.conf [20:57] Any ideas, anyone? [20:57] johan12, also, that was almost all large contiguous files (typically at least 150 MB) [20:57] macrobod_ and ty god i remember what i did before it started happening [20:57] noiz: just a sec, I'm preparing for a networking presentation with a classmate [20:57] bernz: what's the best app to use when doing these kind of large "backups"? [20:57] noiz_ check if cs if still slow, btw [20:57] macrobad_ oh i cant play [20:58] noiz, :: see it can all work out [20:58] macrobad_ i cant join the server because i cant open console because the keyboard :d [20:58] rrplay because there are helpful guys like you and macrobad around [20:58] johan12, not sure, because so far i've generally just copied the entire volume with dd, or a partitioning program (i even tried just a straight 'cp', but that was painfully slow) [20:58] noiz, about 1475 [20:58] macrobad_ but yes i have it showing fps on the game start screen and it was better [20:58] rrplay and yes :D [20:59] So hey , can somone help me out , i messed whit some keyboard shortcuts (sound shortcuts only) set my num numbers to play sound n etc on my totem player [21:00] and then after that pretty much something happened and my keyboard does not work on cs [21:00] bonjour [21:00] Can someone help me get the adobe flash player to work again? It was working earlier today I don't know what I did, but I cant watch videos anymore. I've reinstalled an older version, the latest version, but nothing seems to work? [21:00] does anyone know how to change the way that cheese names the pictures ? [21:01] bernz: currently copying with roadkil's unstoppable copier (used in the past many times in winxp) through wine now, could that be a "problem"? [21:01] johan12, in fact, my plan (when i get 'round to it) is to use rsync for backups, and just turn on the "backup drives" once a week, and have a script that does whatever necessary to kickstart the sync [21:01] got a little problem here. I have an Belkin wireless g card (Atheros chipset 2413) and I installed Ubuntu 8.04, which did not have good support for the card. I tried madwifi, but I could not get it working. I read around a bit and came to the conclusion that 8.10 would have better support for such things. So, I went and installed it. Voila! the wireless works flawlessly; however, when I reboot, wireless connectivity is lost. [21:02] johan12, oh yeah, as "cool" as wine is, it can't avoid some wasted processing on translation, and on top of that, if it craps out for any reason, Windows tends to abandon the whole operation or whatever, which can be annoying (even if it just means a 'chkdsk') [21:02] billiard_junkie, i have the same card and it works perfect with madwifi [21:02] billiard_junkie, but you have to blacklist ath5k [21:02] hmmm [21:03] does anyone know of a good walkthrough on using google smtp for sendmail [21:03] I am trying to add some screen resolutions but when I open gedit /ect/X11/xorg.conf I cant find the resolutions at all? [21:03] illumin8, rrplay, unfortunately, I'm not noticing any improvement with this Flash version. Still causing 100% (single core) cpu usage. [21:03] Can somone help me , i got a problem whit my keyboard on counter strike , it has worked JUST fine until today when i set some keyboard settings (shortcuts (only few) the keyboard works everywhere besides counter strike . i play counter strike whit wine. [21:03] how do I install an editor like bluefish on a GNU/Linux distro. [21:03] billiard_junkie, my guess on why it didn't work for oyu [21:03] A really easy GUI way of auto backups I found is, grsync (gui for rsync) and gnome-schedule (gui for cron), you can thank me later ;) [21:03] johan12, so i would say if you actually want a "mirror" of your drive, and the drives have the same size and geometry, use dd because it won't waste time analyzing the file system; it just copies straight -- this only makes sense if your volume is mostly full, however; if you're less than 75%, i dunno the best method [21:03] is there an rpm or deb on it how do I find out [21:03] thanks Titan8990, I will look into how to do that [21:03] don't use RPM's [21:03] ok what then [21:03] ppa or debs [21:03] !ppa [21:03] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [21:04] Poundo, is EMACs not good for you? [21:04] bernz: i'll stick with current method, only ~400GB left............. ;P [21:04] !flash player [21:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about flash player [21:04] does anyone know of a good walkthrough on using google smtp for sendmail [21:04] Poundo, anyways: sudo apt-get install bluefish [21:04] <_VIM_> Titan8990: Emacs?!! VIM!! ;) [21:04] Poundo, always search the repos first === Tweak is now known as Guest96522 [21:04] <_VIM_> :P === Guest96522 is now known as tweak66 [21:05] I am trying to add some screen resolutions but when I open gedit /ect/X11/xorg.conf I cant find the resolutions at all? [21:05] i was wondering if someone could look at this information i have been trying to automount a partition but it wont seem to mount correctly. 80gb disk /dev/sda3 file system fat32 mountpoint /media/disk-2 [21:05] Titan8990: apt-get not on the machine [21:05] noiz_ as for cs keyboard shortcuts, can't you just reset them to default? I recall there was such a setting. [21:05] hackel: do you have another user acount avail or even temporarily create a temp user and try the flash player ? [21:05] how would i go about adding eac to the list of apps in wine??? [21:05] Can somone help me , i got a problem whit my keyboard on counter strike , it has worked JUST fine until today when i set some keyboard settings (shortcuts (only few) the keyboard works everywhere besides counter strike . i play counter strike whit wine. [21:05] Poundo, are you not running ubuntu? this is the ubuntu support room [21:05] Hello, I'm wirting a MOTD, but want it to echo the output of "users", how do i do this? [21:05] macrobad_ no it is not that [21:05] no uname says GNU/Linux [21:06] Titan8990: the thing that really bugs me is that I am connected right now using that card. First boot after install it works fine [21:06] lol [21:06] macrobad_ the mouse works fine, but i can not even WRite init [21:06] billiard_junkie, odd, probably is in need of a blacklist though [21:06] noiz_ as for cs performance, if it is still bad, you can try disabling compiz effects. that should boost up all video games. [21:06] Poundo, im guessing you didn't install this os? [21:06] alright, will try it out [21:06] an somone help me , i got a problem whit my keyboard on counter strike , it has worked JUST fine until today when i set some keyboard settings (shortcuts (only few) the keyboard works everywhere besides counter strike . i play counter strike whit wine.And i cannot even write in cs i cant open the console nor do anything whit the keyboard on cs, only whit the mouse [21:06] rrplay, I've tried this before, it doesn't make a difference, nor does disabling compiz. I've been working on this for ages. :) [21:07] I've installed the swf player and still, I cant play videos! I'm going to reinstall this. [21:07] macrobod_ to play cs i need my keyboard to work on cs :P ty for the suggestion i will do that :) [21:07] titan8990: no it's on some host somewhere [21:07] i got a clean install of ubuntu and i went to youtube.com with firefox, and i need to install flash. how can i do it in terminal? sudo apt-get install ??? [21:07] Poundo, alright, so let me get this straight, you have an OS, but you don't know what it is [21:07] Poundo, you want a program, but you don't know what package manager it uses [21:07] hackel it could very well be that some of the flash player files in your /home dir are corupted period [21:07] Poundo, are you being serious? [21:07] :) [21:07] Titian8990 no I know it's GNU/Linux according to uname -a [21:07] lol [21:08] Can someone help me out I can't get my fresh install to boot? running 8.10 and getting stuck on Starting bluetooth or if I run from the CD its a USB error and mouse and keyboard don't work [21:08] Poundo, all linux is GNU/Linux.... [21:08] Poundo, so now we have narrowed it down to around 100 distros [21:08] noiz_ np. Then I'll finish preparing for my presentation meanwhile. [21:08] macrobad_ is there a way i can reset all keyboard settings on linux? like the shortcuts and etc [21:08] rrplay, there is only one file, and I've just downloaded the latest version of it. [21:08] AdamDV: i don't know that that is possible with motd, though it is with issue [21:08] Well then i am being serious, the shell is bash thats about all I know [21:09] Poundo, where did you get this computer? [21:09] hello everyone I am having an issue with flash audio while using nxclient to connect to an LTSP 5 server, when I play any flash with audio I get this error on the command line...ALSA lib pcm_pulse.c:625:(pulse_prepare) PulseAudio: Unable to create stream: Invalid argument....Could not set hardware parameters [21:09] hackel; but as with others and rewriting a new flash player and others have had the same problem from previous versions on the pc [21:09] noiz_ I think you just did it for half of those with dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg. The other half is sitting somewhere in the gnome keyboard settings, and then several more keyboard shortcuts are served by compiz. [21:10] Brb restarting and booting into xubuntu [21:10] Tutian8990:It is an outfit that provides muntile hosting environments [21:10] rrplay, yeah, you have to make sure to delete the old library, restart firefox, and then put the new one in place, then it works fine. [21:10] sorry Titian8990 [21:10] hackel: the problem lies with the 'dot files' in ~/.fooXXetc [21:11] Poundo, with the given information, the best I can do is recommend you manually compile the source code [21:11] Anyone know where I can find more recent OGRE libs for ubuntu? [21:11] In repos? [21:11] rrplay, Ah, right, that's just a cache though. Removing ~/.adobe has no effect. [21:11] porter1, check the official ogre site to see if they have their own repo [21:12] how would i go about adding eac to the list of apps in wine??? [21:12] satansaunt, gnome menu editor? [21:12] Titan8990; thanks i figure it out package managers and unix are new to me obviously [21:12] i'm having install issues on a machine with an intel ich9r controller, it seems to install grub on one of my bios raided disks, and not on the one i'm selecting to install the os on [21:12] hackel: .~?.macromedia [21:12] macrobad_ nahh the keys dont work [21:12] macrobad_ it is just soo weird [21:12] Poundo, which package manager are you using? [21:13] hackel:~/.macromedia [21:13] you mean main menu editor- cos i tried that, first place i went [21:13] Poundo, nvm, I thought you were saying you figured out the package manager.... [21:13] rrplay, Ah yes, I'm removing that too. I've set my flash preferences not to store anything locally. [21:13] then i tried to add via 'add application' option in wine [21:13] no luck [21:13] Can somone help me , i got a problem whit my keyboard on counter strike , it has worked JUST fine until today when i set some keyboard settings (shortcuts (only few) the keyboard works everywhere besides counter strike . i play counter strike whit wine.And i cannot even write in cs i cant open the console nor do anything whit the keyboard on cs, only whit the mouse [21:13] satansaunt, you are just trying to get it to appear in the menu? [21:13] Titan8990: Thats the question which package manager can i use on RPM shows up but some one said that was a bad idea [21:13] does anyone know of a good walkthrough on using google smtp for sendmail [21:14] yep [21:14] Is there a way to reset all your keyboard settings? [21:14] just for ease of access [21:14] Poundo, its dependant on your distro [21:14] brb [21:14] I want to stop krdc - how can I do that - how can I know whether it is on at all ? [21:15] Titan8990: round and round. How do i find out what the distro is? [21:15] Poundo, debian, ubuntu and derivitives use aptitude, suse and derivitives use yast, rhel and dervitives use yum, and gentoo, bsd and dervities use portage and pkg [21:15] Poundo, ask the person that installed it [21:15] acu type in a shell ps -ef | grep Krdc [21:15] hello. did something happen to ubuntu's packages signing keys? everytime we update our machines through our local repo, we get a warning about the key for ubuntu-security [21:15] Titan8990 how can i update my wine to the latest version? [21:15] Poundo, sometimes uname -r will do it, not always [21:16] titan8990 if i may ask [21:16] that way you'll know if it's running [21:16] noiz, you really can't unless they have thier own repos [21:16] the if it is type kill -9 and the number of the process === FrozenFire is now known as FrozenFire[karma [21:16] noiz, or don't mind manual compilation === FrozenFire[karma is now known as FrozenFire [21:16] noiz: Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do ir currently. I've told you there are at least three places: xorg.conf (which we reset), System->Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts of GNOME, and then in CCSM General options->Key bindings. Go there and check the keybindings you want. [21:16] have a problem with finding wireless connections aroound me, any good program wireless network connections for ubuntu 8.10 with graphic interface [21:16] noiz, http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [21:17] ninom -> you should only access your own AP [21:17] wifi radar doesnt seem to work on my ubuntu [21:17] ninom: not completely GUI, but look into kismet [21:17] ninom, iwlist wlan0 scanning [21:17] i cant find my own either [21:17] it has a nice ncurse interface [21:17] macrobad_ but i got the num things disabled and there is nothing else wrong there [21:17] if i want to find my own network i have to type the ssid [21:18] ninom: kismet scans the air for wifi access points [21:18] wifi radar doesnt work, kismet doesnt have graphic interface i believe [21:18] ninom, sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning [21:18] noiz, so is your problem about keyboard accelerators, or special media keys? [21:18] ninom -> make sure your driver is working first, do you know what chip you have on your nic card? sudo lshw -C network [21:18] macrobad_ i dont have a idea :/ [21:19] ninom, you're sure your WAP is not set to prevent broadcasting of its SSID? [21:19] Titan8990: If all works well, I will be back [21:19] jief, ubuntu ppa repositories were finally signed. could it be the reason for your warnings? [21:19] noiz: what kind of keys do not work? [21:19] n8tuserf i did what you said and i got something [21:19] macrobad_ NONE [21:19] macrobode_ even the console wont work [21:20] noiz: only in cs? [21:20] what? [21:20] macrobod_ yes [21:20] AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter atheros communications [21:20] hackel: let me know what's up with that [21:20] noiz, ah, so outside cs all the keys work. right? [21:20] macrobod_ yes [21:20] macrobod_ but it is not cs's fault [21:20] macrobod_ but wait ima tell what happened few minutes ago [21:21] rrplay, No change. High cpu usage, lots of video tearing, etc. [21:21] I followed this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=713874 and now I can access the internet with my machines on my local lan but they can't ping the gateway nor each other it seems? [21:22] macrobod_ i went on cs and i used my mouse to navigate myself to new game , and then when you are already in the game you need keyboard to get out so is tarted cliking random keys as i dont know how you close a windows whit linux, and then it started lagging and i saw my "applications" on top of cs so i moved my mouse, while i was moving my mouse i was moving in cs [21:22] My gateway can't reach the local area network but it can give them internet access [21:22] macrobod_ but yes no other key besides mouse keys work in cs for some reason [21:22] macrobod_ the thing is it can not be cs's fault . === sanjud is now known as n8tuser [21:22] hackel, unbelievable just with the flash vids try updatedb and log back in with the new install [21:23] is there a way to make the desktop installer 'ignore' all disks in a system bar the one selected for install? === richard is now known as Guest36980 [21:23] noiz weird. So, it worked ok before you tried to exit with random keys? [21:23] macrobad_ nahh [21:23] macrobad_ only the mouse worked [21:23] jaymes0, easiest way would be to just unplug them [21:24] what were the parameters in rm to remove a directory [21:24] macrobad_ noone never had this problem before :/ [21:24] jaymes0, but the installer won't install on drives that you don't tell it to [21:24] Milkeh: -r ,or you can use the rmdir command if it's empty [21:24] hackel, by the way firefox was NOT running when you reinstalled any of this right ?? [21:24] Titan8990: I just tried an install, and it put grub on a different disk than the os was installed to [21:24] noiz: No idea. I suppose it must be a problem of messed up wine configs then. [21:24] and 'broke' a raid 0 [21:25] macrobad_ for some reason i think that too [21:25] prince_jammys, thank you [21:25] rrplay, No. I don't think flash or firefox uses the locate database for anything. [21:25] jaymes0, are you aware that raid0 is slower and less fault tolerent then two single disks? [21:25] macrobad_ as the problem started after i added a keyboard layout [21:25] macrobad_ and maby that messed wine up [21:25] noiz: In this case the most reasonable way is to reset wine to default settings with dpkg-reconfigure -phigh, but then you'll have to reinstall CS. [21:25] macrobad_ so u advise me to reinstall wine and cs? [21:25] how come my icons have gone big all of a sudden? [21:25] macrobad_ oh ok shure ty [21:25] hackel, what I asked you was if firefox was NOT running at the time you reinstalled [21:25] in my drop down menus [21:26] it's just a fakeraid thing on an ich9 controller, and yes im aware about the tollerence and marginal speed differences :) [21:26] noiz No problem. Hope, it works finally! [21:26] rrplay, yes, that was my first answer. [21:26] macrobad_ wait tell me the exact command how to reconfigure wine? [21:26] jaymes0, anyways, does the installer recognize your raid0 or is it displaying both disks seperatly? softraid, fakeraid, or hardraid? [21:26] its displaying the raid0 disks seperately [21:26] Hello, all! [21:26] and im installing on a different, non raided disk that is connected to the same ich9 controller [21:26] does anybody know how to make my icons in my drop down menus smaller? [21:27] what do i type in terminal to install GTK+ themes engine? [21:27] jaymes0, I would just manually install grub then [21:27] !grub | jaymes0 [21:27] jaymes0: 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 [21:27] Is there a way to get my machine working to an earlier date? Kinda like a restore point. [21:27] jaymes0, that is, if thats all that its missing [21:27] what do i type in terminal to install GTK+ theme engine? [21:27] can i stop grub from being installed on the desktop installer? [21:27] jaymes0, no [21:27] jaymes0, not even on the alternate installer [21:28] it's missing yes, but my issue is that it installs on a different (and raided...) disk, breaking it [21:28] noiz The command is dpkg-reconfigure, and it has to be run as root, i.e. with sudo. One argument is '-phigh', which means to do everything automatically and don't ask questions, and the other is the name of the package you want to reconfigure. Putting it together, 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh wine' [21:28] I stated to install KDE yesterday from apt-get but my internet connection died half way in. now when I try and install again it says all of the packaages are missing and cant download [21:28] I cant get my flash players to work, so I need to reinstall Ubuntu, but if I can restore the system to an earlier time that would be better. [21:28] jaymes0, alright, but you already installed everything but grub on the intended disk, correct? [21:28] yeah [21:29] Hacke: did you download a deb file or a tarball [21:29] jaymes0, alright, so install grub, in the future, unplug your raided drives during installation [21:29] macrobad_ lol i actually did not ask for the explanation of the code but just for the exact code >D [21:29] jaymes0, or prior to installation I should say [21:29] yeah, i should have done [21:29] I have troubles with terminus font. I did install it by aptitude install xfonts-terminus then do something with fonts on suggesions in web now I can't use terminus at all [21:29] macobad the funny thing is that command did not work :D [21:29] I did remove and install - no result [21:29] I'm trying to make my icons in the applications menu smaller, can anybody help me [21:29] noiz, and don't forget you might need to clean out '~/.wine' before reinstalling CS. [21:30] yay! [21:30] i think the installer should be more careful though :) [21:30] macrobad_ how can i just remove it :D [21:30] macrobad_ and then reinstall alot easyer that way [21:30] macrobad_ that made me just feel dummer [21:30] !help [21:30] Hi!

As for ~/.wine, yes, just delete it. [21:31] noiz it would delete all windows programs in wine [21:31] what do i type in terminal to install GTK+ theme engine?

[21:44] how exactly do you instal a tarball in terminal [21:44] I'm currently playing with Ubuntu based Crunchbang . [21:44] Nytrix, (in which case, you can probably select the "main" thing you need -- gtk+ theme engine -- and it'll select everything else you need for htat) [21:44] guess I'm looking for the voice of experience; for an rsync backup can I grab the first+last directories it made and have a "whole" backup? or must I keep all increments in between as well..

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [21:44] Guest54361, its not recommended.... [21:44] Jezster: as for all small, "weak" computers that run on battery.. something light.. xubuntu, slimmed down ubuntu/kubuntu or DSL or siilar [21:45] Hello. Could someone please (try to) help me set up internet connection sharing via wlan from ubuntu to XP? Thank you.. (couldn't find any working tutorial for this online so i ended up here) :) [21:45] enhazed, its called ip masquerading and it is a very advanced networking topic.... [21:45] let me try it [21:45] mustangg: why not try it.. create a folder, run some backups, change some stuff.. see if you can restore it [21:45] slimmed down ubuntu ... hmm... so apt-get remove stuff or is there a minimalist version? [21:46] mustangg: it doesn't look like anyone here can answer your question.. you could perhaps tell us how it works [21:46] Titan8990: is there no program that might do this? I saw something involving Firestarter, but for some reason it doesn't work for me... (says it can't access wlan0) [21:46] Jezster: well.. there is a minimal version.. you could start from that and add only what you need.. but I think keeping the stuff running at a minimun is more important than just not having stuff installed [21:47] enhazed, firestarter is a dead project... you should use ufw or edit iptables directly [21:47] ok im pritty new to linux and im running xubuntu [21:47] !ics [21:47] If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [21:47] Guest54361, and why the need to compile something from source? [21:47] i could really use the actual command to instal a tarball thats not in package manager [21:47] Slart: thanks - have you got a pointer to the cutdown version of ubuntu ... [21:48] any help would be great [21:48] Guest54361, it doesn't work like that.... [21:48] enhazed: for a standard setup it's something like 3 iptables commands.. I'm not sure if wlan is going to make it any different though [21:48] !minimal | Jezster [21:48] Jezster: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [21:48] Guest54361, you need to view the documentation that came with the code [21:48] thanks all :) [21:49] Jezster: also you could google for "tweak ubuntu".. there are good advice out there.. (along with some not so good) [21:49] Guest54361, what is that you are trying to compile? [21:49] ok ok well i just wanna run a few benchmarks anyone know a program i can instal with the pakage manager [21:49] Guest54361, is it .bz2 or .gz? [21:49] Jezster: try "powertop" too.. it might give you a few minutes extra from your battery [21:49] Guest54361, just search synaptic for "benchmark" [21:49] ok 1 min [21:49] Slart: where can i find those three commands? :) [21:49] Slart: I wish I knew what could help, but that's why I'm here. I basically created an incremental rsync backup using flyback. And now I'm just trying to recover from *something*(?!), which killed my fakeraid+lvm and partitions and a few other complaints from both the hardware and linux utils.. [21:50] Hey, Titan8990 got a question for you on that note sorta related. What's the difference between Add/Remove and Synaptic? [21:50] thanks - I have just ordered a 6cell battery for my advent4211 ... should last about 4-5 hours :) [21:50] Huufarted, nothing [21:50] Huufarted, not sure, I always use apt-get and apt-cache [21:50] enhazed: I usually just google for "ip masquerading iptables" or something like that.. it's the same for most linux distros so it doesn't have to be ubuntu specific [21:50] Huufarted, there both from aptitude [21:50] Huufarted, I don't really use GUIs [21:51] Huufarted, just add/remove is more basic than Synaptic you have more options to view dependencies and all the rest on synaptic unlike Add/Remove where its just the program itself. [21:51] Titan8990, I'd like to use the command line version as well, but I'm fairly new to repositories in general and the GUI provides a real easy way for me to search [21:51] enhazed: here's some good reading material... perhaps a bit more than necessary but knowledge is always good, right? =) [21:51] enhazed: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/ [21:51] fearful, thanks that makes a lot more sense. That's kinda what I thought it was. [21:52] ugh titan can you suggest a all around benchmark? [21:52] Guest54361, benchmark for what? [21:52] Huufarted, you can use search with command line too, apt-cache search (and wildcards can be used) [21:52] mustangg: oh.. I thought you were trying to setup some kind of backup system [21:52] awesome, fearful. :) I like that. [21:52] just an all in one sorta benchmark [21:53] mustangg: I don't really know much about rsync.. I've tried using it once or twice but it never agreed with me [21:53] Guest54361, time.... [21:53] allright, i will read up on that and try to do it myself, if it doesn't work i'll be back for help. thank you very much :) [21:53] Guest54361, using this syntax: time COMMAND [21:53] Guest54361, will display the length of time that it took to run the given command [21:53] Slart: I was originally and did sorta using suggestions from the chan which is how ended up with flyback. It's just a gui really for rsync. [21:54] enhazed: do that..you have to .. setup ip masquerading.. enable ip forwarding.. setup NAT [21:54] titan do you know a good all in one kinda benchmark program [21:54] Guest54361, no [21:54] Guest54361, for instance if you wanted to benchmark the 'rm' command, you could type 'time rm -rf /*' [21:54] Guest54361, search synaptic [21:54] ok :) [21:54] guest54 but I wouldn't recommend it [21:54] enhazed: you might want to start a dhcp server too.. but it isn't really necessary for just one or two computers [21:54] mustangg, i haven't looked closely at rsync yet, but it's highly likely to require all the "intermediate" files because a delta scheme is very typically done that way [21:54] enhazed: you can skip the parts about compiling kernels and such.. all that stuff is already done for you [21:55] Huufarted, that's straying really near the edge of malicious advice ... [21:55] nickrud, true that. Should have made it more abundantly clear it was in jest. [21:56] guys [21:56] is there a command to open a new image in gimp without having to go to File > New? [21:56] bernz: fair enough. any idea on data integrity? ie: is there any mechanism i place to maintain it? I' ve had to recover these off a corrupted ntfs partition.. [21:56] how do i start compiz [21:56] i installed the packages [21:56] Hi ... I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid on a Toshiba L300 notebook ...

[21:56] etc [21:56] KenBW2: ctrl+N ? [21:56] Huufarted, a lot of people here don't use english as a first language, and nearly all jests are obscure. Jesting with dangerous commands will cause serious issues for you ;) [21:56] So how do i get the wireless card to work on the ubuntu generic dirver ?

I can't help you with that one, sorry. [21:58] k, thx [21:58] synny, have you bothered checking the menus for Compiz?

[21:58] KenBW2: there seems to be a -b switch for adding batch commands.. sounds useful [21:58] mishu -> do you remember which driver it was?

[23:10] you should be able to do that in your router's settings [23:10] Crooper: http://localhost Crooper: oh wait, you're trying to do this over a network that isn't yours? not going to work [23:11] Crooper: in order for people on the internet to access your webserver, you have to be able to forward the correct ports (port 80) to point to your server. if you don't own the network then you can't do that [23:11] yes CarlFK but i wouldn't be on the phone with the customer if i had them where they could see when i did http://localhost [23:11] how easy would it be to set up such a thing on a dynamic hostname if the *.host.ex points to my PC? http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/736/network.png I'd like to try and make routing issues a bit easier when having multiple PCs serving something :/ [23:11] Crooper: you have to have access to your local network's router control panel for this to work [23:11] excuse me, where would I find better support on how to better start a server process (shoutcast) on my server computer? [23:11] Crooper: if you aren't using your own home network, then it isn't going to be possible [23:11] Crooper: ah, i figured you were there in person [23:12] Crooper: are you using your laptop with a wireless network in your own home? [23:12] trying to set my system up to use kgdb... do i need to recompile the kernel just so i can create the uncompressed, unstripped vmlinux file? i know vmcoreinfo is now included in kernel packages... it is possible to use this with gdb? [23:12] In my preferences->Screen Resolution I only have 640x480 and 320x240 to choose from. Anyone know how I can fix these so at least 800x600 is shown also? [23:13] i live on a boat... unfortunately having a home network is impossible for me right now [23:13] hello [23:13] yes. i was wondering that too how do you make a ustom res isn't that in the X.org === pablo_ is now known as pabloarroyo06 [23:13] how do i get to that? [23:14] unko: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [23:14] Crooper, You could send the site ( especially if it's static ) to someone who does have a publicly accessible server, or the customer ( though I am guessing they wouldn't know what to do with it ) [23:15] eepberries, thank you [23:15] hph_guy, try loading the right driver in xorg [23:15] hello [23:15] Crooper: well, it will be impossible for other people to access your web server [23:15] your best bet is to pay for hosting [23:15] hello people [23:15] eepberries, so this way i can test resolutions??? [23:15] unko: that will let you change your resolution [23:16] and i think it will also add that mode to the gui too [23:16] eepberries, thank you [23:16] at least it did for me [23:16] eepberries, no wait...THANK YOU VERY MUCH [23:16] unko: did it work? [23:17] eepberries, kinda... im at max res it say buy one day my drivers got updated and i could use the res 1600xX and i updated again and now i can't [23:17] Jordan_U, i have a server set up at my mom's but didn't want to develop, transfer, develop, transfer...etc. [23:17] unko: did you try changing it through the command line? [23:17] like described in that article [23:17] eepberries, ha i just saw that im doing that now... whats the res 1600 by what.. [23:17] Whats good with everyone [23:18] Crooper, You could foreward traffic from your mom' === jgoguen is now known as jgoguen|class [23:18] Jordan_U, it's already forwarded [23:19] Crooper, ... From your mom's server to yours over ssh ( a session initiated on your end ) but it would probably not be worth the trouble [23:19] Crooper: the develop/transfer/test/rinse/repeate loop is good to get into before the customer gets involved [23:19] just tried to skip a couple of steps in the development and proofing process [23:19] eepberries, can i PM you [23:19] unko: sure [23:20] eepberries, ty [23:20] Jordan_U, thnx but that is already set up [23:21] Crooper, If that is already setup then why can't the customer access your server through the one at your mom's ? [23:21] CarlFK, you're right but alot of these customers don't get involved except for the "OK" and payment [23:22] Any here using ArtistX [23:22] Jordan_U, I was trying to shorten the process for the customer [23:24] Just so folks know this ArtistX Distro is AMAZING [23:24] Runs smooth on the older Gateway Desktop [23:24] Crooper, I am not sure that you understand what I mean, ssh has some fancy tricks and you can foreward packets from port 80 on the server at your mom's over an ssh tunnel to your machine, even without having a publicly accessible ip on your machine. [23:24] nEtZaRiM: do you have a question about ubuntu? if not there is an offtopic channel [23:24] !ot | nEtZaRiM [23:24] nEtZaRiM: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:24] are there other ways to change the mtab other than the fstab file? [23:25] Bet That Start didn't realize it was Forbidden to speak about any other Distro than Ubuntu [23:25] http://pastebin.ca/1347290 [23:25] I need help there [23:25] oh... ok. No i didn't understand you... I will check into that. I was just reading about port forwarding with ssh... thnx Jordan_U [23:25] nEtZaRiM: there are many other distros.. but this channel if for ubuntu support only [23:26] Crooper, np [23:26] Thats what I'm saying I didn't realize it was "Forbidden" to speak about other distros here [23:26] I apologize [23:27] For some reason Thunderbird cannot receive mail. Evolution can but not Thunderbird. Thunderbird can send mail, but when it tries to receive it just has 'Connected to mailserver....' at the bottom but it never actually prompts for the password. Clean first run of thunderbird [23:27] nEtZaRiM: no worries [23:27] i have copied a server access logfile to my ubuntu box. i need to analyze the file - is there some idiot-proof gui thingie for that? [23:27] please can you tell me the bame of the server of the language C [23:27] hi, is there a "cleanup" guide for ubuntu server somewhere? [23:28] halp [23:28] i am a linux noob [23:28] TR103: not sure what you're looking for.. I think there is ##programming for general programming.. there might be a ##c channel too.. not sure [23:28] Hello. [23:28] i got some psycho error with aircrack-ng [23:28] when trying to make it [23:28] Hi, how do you rename the mounts that appear on the desktop? The names are ok it's just that I don't need to see that xtra info on how big the partition size is. Thx [23:28] I'm looking for a tool to mount ISO images as virtual devices, as in Daemon Tools for windows. === chaky_ is now known as chaky [23:28] might i get some help? [23:28] I assume there's a way to do this under ubuntu? [23:28] shlork: don't use enter instead of punctuation.. it gets very hard to read [23:29] !ask | shlork [23:29] shlork: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:29] !mountiso | Hfuy [23:29] Hfuy: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » or use the "gmountiso" package - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify downloaded ISO images using !MD5 before !burning. [23:29] Hfuy: mount -o loop IIRC [23:29] alright, fair enough [23:30] shlork: there's no guarantee you'll get an answer.. but your chances will improve by actually asking a question instead of just asking for help [23:30] Ok, so i got some crazy error when doing making the .deb for aircrack ng, it says that it's missing a bunch of folders, and i really havent mucked around with anything in the directory [23:30] how can I install something from a third party through aptitude from the command line? do I have to first put the src in /etc/apt/sources.list? === woland is now known as Guest58468 [23:30] Hfuy: there are [23:30] NeoTubNinja: yes, afaik [23:30] I'll try the mount -o loop thing. [23:31] should i just throw the entire error in a pastebin and give the link? [23:31] NeoTubNinja, many third-party repositories have instructions for adding their repos [23:31] can someone give me the link to the wiki on installing the nvidia drivers manually [23:31] shlork: you might want to include the verbatim error message.. if it's more than one line I recommend a pastebin.. !pastebin for more info [23:31] Argh. I just upgraded my box to jaunty, and it has somehow screwed up my grub menu. It gives a prompt saying "grub press escape in the next X seconds to see the menu", and then X counts down from 2. [23:31] shlork: that what most people do, yes [23:31] this one has instructions through the synaptic package manager, but I prefer the command line [23:31] alright, just wanted to make sure [23:31] !jaunty | zooko [23:31] zooko: Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [23:31] But, if I hit escape then it flashes the menu (or something) for a split second before going ahead and trying to book the jaunty kernel. :-( [23:31] Thanks!

[23:33] ahhh [23:33] How can i install apache on ubuntu? [23:33] shlork: from the looks of that error message you might be missing some dependencies..

[23:34] hovis: some people hate it.. some use it.. haven't found anyone that loved it yet [23:34] hovis, it's the easiest way, and the easiest method to revert [23:34] oh wait lol [23:34] theres an aircrack channel! [23:35] I'm not that worried about reverting. Am I going to be able to boot a wubi installation that's on a software raid array? [23:35] Slart thanks [23:35] @Slart is this wiki relevant for 8.10? [23:35] Master_J: you're welcome [23:35] yo [23:35] hi [23:35] When I connect a USB device to Ubuntu, what exactly is responsible for mounting and/or messaging about the newly plugged in device?

I want to proxy my connection through an intermediate host without changing the hostname [23:36] So ssh -D 2000 host1, then ssh -proxy=localhost:2000 blah [23:37] ardchoille: udev might be involved too [23:37] anyone know of a full-feature audio player (akin to rhythmbox or Banshee) that will remember play positions for multiple tracks? [23:37] For some reason Thunderbird cannot receive mail. Evolution can but not Thunderbird. Thunderbird can send mail, but when it tries to receive it just has 'Connected to mailserver....' at the bottom but it never actually prompts for the password. Clean first run of thunderbird. According to thunderbird log it's Sending Authentication or something, but it never prompts me for the password it requires to login [23:37] ardchoille, sorry, I was thinking USB external drives, not USB devices in general [23:37] Atomic_UE: try to run thunderbird from a terminal..see if you get any error messages [23:38] McShane: ok, thanks [23:38] Atomic_UE: what kind of mail account are you trying to access? pop3? imap? something else? [23:38] Slart, pop [23:38] Slart, thunderbird never outputs to terminal [23:38] Atomic_UE: and you're sure there are mails for fetch?

I added a 'console=ttyS0,115200 [23:40] Slart, i can do a clean install of thunderbird with clean settings and attempt to get mail for first time, but it doesn't prompt for pass to login [23:40] to my kernel cmdline and am monitoring it on another system but it seems the console isn't going there perhaps [23:40] Slart, which i think is the problem...so far [23:40] Atomic_UE: and you're not using proxies and such? [23:41] Slart, nope === gary_ is now known as Guest15330 [23:41] Atomic_UE: weird.. thunderbird can be quirky.. but I've never had any basic networking issues with it.. [23:42] well.. I'm off to bed.. good night everyone [23:43] So, sorry for jumping into it, but (how) can I use shell variables in yafc? [23:43] * tozetre looks around hopefully. [23:43] Anyone using adeona?
