[00:07] that will remove the logo, so that you don't get any at all [00:07] !lista [00:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about lista [00:07] dynamic_batt: the reason for why you are getting more than one logo, is that you have a multicore cpu [00:07] how do i make a makefile? [00:07] shlork: depends on what you want to make it for [00:08] plain make? automake? cmake? [00:08] Komodo-Edit [00:08] errrr [00:08] hola [00:08] whats the command to list all my hardware?

[00:11] Mion, sorry for n00b question, but what the line looks like where i need to add logo.nologo? there are multiple kernel lines..

[00:13] Mion; don't make suggestions like that to me, i'm very impressionable. [00:13] shlork: ? [00:13] i like centos *shrugs* But the default repos suck ass and it's annoying messing around with other ones [00:13] so i'm using ubuntu now [00:14] * ProfeticX has switched from fedora to ubuntu "till something better comes along" [00:14] Mion; I might accidently listen to someone who makes a suggestion like that, and i'll end up septuple-booting [00:14] Amarok: My mp5 player is not recognized... so I can't synch my songs... is there any way I make make Amarok recognize my player? [00:15] shlork: ? [00:16] innociv, its not repos its rpm that sucks ass [00:16] oh nevermind [00:16] Ok [00:16] Mion, umm.. cant i just delete those boots i dont need? [00:16] shlork: looks like komodo-edit is in ppa [00:17] can somoene help me with a mounting issue? I have two partitions I am trying to auto-mount one fat32 and the other NTFS i got the NTFS to mount fine but when I edit fstab to mount the Fat32 drive It locks up and I cant access it until I remove it from fstab. [00:17] dynamic_batt: since you don't really know what you are doing, no [00:17] Mion: which is....? [00:17] shlork: Ubuntu Personal Package Archives [00:17] awesome [00:17] ty. [00:18] Guys [00:18] anyone have experiance using fluxbox? [00:18] Mion, ok... so the logo.nologo needs to be added at this line? kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-11-generic root=UUID=087d4f93-e09c-4846-a893-2c2c23a080f7 ro quiet splash , and the other lines that looks kinda the same ill leave alone? [00:18] Anyone recommend a wep key cracker for ubuntu? [00:18] I want to do some testing... [00:19] I like "critical updates" , but how can i stop the "recomended updates"? i don't wan 'em. [00:19] aircrack or kismet [00:19] dynamic_batt: if you are booting the .27-11 kernel, yes [00:19] shlork which one is better? [00:19] and is it almost instant or does it take time? [00:19] takes time i believe [00:19] prosx: lots of time [00:20] nothing is instant baby [00:20] Mion, so, if i understand correctly this command will hide all other boot options? [00:20] no, it will only hide the n logo's you get when the kernel is booting [00:20] what do I need to do to allow this to work: holla@testing-base:~$ xclip /var/log/Xorg.0.log = X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0 holla@testing-base:~$ [00:21] prosx check out both, i don't know enough about the both of them to make a recommendation [00:21] Mion, so, i will have my XP and Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-11-generic only yes? [00:21] no [00:22] then what i will have? :D [00:22] dynamic_batt: are you talking about the multiple menu entries in grub instead of the actuall logo you get when you boot? [00:22] right click the Updates Icon, choose preferences, then turn "recomended updates" off --- DUH [00:23] if so, just comment out the entries you don't want in menu.lst (and don't add logo.nologo) [00:23] Mion, yes.. the screen where i need to chose OS [00:23] ah [00:23] just comment out the entries that you don't want [00:23] Mion, put # thingy in front yes? [00:23] yea [00:24] ^^ that makes sense... :D [00:24] I hate the autogenerated menu.lst in debian derivates :/ it's so messy [00:25] yea... it is.. but it is understandable... ^^ [00:26] is there a way to display a total download of a chosen interface without using ifconfig? [00:26] Hi [00:26] I usually strip away all the crap in it [00:26] How can I install a font from a .ttf or a .fon [00:27] Mion, oh.. memtest86+... whats that for? :D [00:27] I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to find the root mail's folder. I thought I'd find it under /var/mail/root but that directory is empty and I have logs into syslog saying email were sent to root (warnings about update-rc.d task probably not launching without errors). I can't debug this until I can get the mail content but I can't find it..

[00:28] i havent changed anything in the preseed [00:28] Ok, i cant apt-get install aircrack-ng [00:28] so i have no idea what the issue is. the only difference that i have in the script is that it spawns another bash [00:28] can someone walk me through why? I know it has something to do with repos possibly [00:28] would anyone know what the issue is? [00:28] can someone help me fix it please [00:28] hmm.. and, if i have some errors (last night i ran it) it found about 4 or 5 red things... [00:29] how i fix em? >< :D [00:29] the errors are in red? yes? [00:29] Mion: I actually need to display the number on a webpage [00:30] the numbers*, but my www-data user is not eligible to run ifconfig [00:30] I like Linux Ubuntu, I don't know how I got by without it! I've use it for 8 months now. Is there a way I can make money with Ubuntu? Get job or somethng. I would love to have a job and use Ubuntu while at work. [00:30] odder_: netop?

[00:33] this means the xp will be the first option? [00:33] if that's the first item on the menu.lst [00:34] i need MSN with sound and cam [00:34] oh... then... what does the makeactive command do? [00:34] dynamic_batt: no, i believe that just adds that option [00:34] dotsign: ask m$ :) [00:34] and savedefault?

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [00:35] ok... i think i edited all.. its time for test-run [00:35] Mion: thanks, I'll script something myself with that file [00:35] Jiff: Is Grub installed? [00:35] thanks [00:36] >< lol.. hey how can i log in as root? :D [00:36] dynamic_batt: you have to enable the root acount [00:36] !root | dynamic_batt [00:36] dynamic_batt: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:36] tho, logging in as root is generally a stupid idea [00:36] isn't it possible to remove all old directories from programs that don't exists any more? [00:36] just use sudo -i instead [00:37] MrElendig, thanks... [00:37] grah, I just got ignored >_> [00:37] dynamic_batt: sudo -i ~ su - [00:37] it spawns a new shell with root privs [00:37] Hox: yes [00:37] Can someone help me === MrElendig is now known as Mion [00:38] ooh...is this the ubuntu help channel? [00:38] hey all how do i check what kernel i have? [00:38] Jiff: I asked if Grub was installed. [00:38] no [00:38] MisterKM: uname -a [00:38] Is there anyway I can get the line numbers on the text editor in ubuntu I'm programing c++ and it'll be much more helpful [00:38] MisterKM: uname -r, or uname -a.. can't remember which [00:39] I wouldn't know howto install anything to it since I'm dual booting [00:39] Hox: FSlint sorta works for that. [00:39] is Ubuntu compatible with the Intel 845 graphics controller? [00:39] IndyGunFreak: what editor you are using? [00:39] mohan43u: ?..editor?.. like text editor.. usually gedit or mousepad [00:40] hi, wonder if anybody can help me. i've got a logitech quickcam express plus. using gspca module. it's working with ekiga, but the video was too dark. so i opened xawtv and adjust the exposure. because the video settings in ekiga wouldn't move [00:40] Jiff: Grub has to be installed, Grub is the bootloader, let me see if I can find that for you on the forums. [00:40] but the exposure made the video really crappy. is there no way to just adjust the brightness? or to get ekiga proper permissions to adjust the video setting? [00:41] IndyGunFreak: In Gedit goto Edit->Preferences->Display Line Numbers.. thats it. [00:41] I was wondering if it was compatible with the Intel 845 graphics controller because I get Ubuntu to install via Wubi...but it freezes up immediately after I login [00:41] mohan43u: what are you talking about?.. i don't need help [00:42] sorry dude!! its for 'fearful' [00:42] Folks I need some help with my wireless card ... can anyone point me in the right direction? [00:42] Jiff: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351&highlight=text+mode+boot or in command mode, update grub [00:42] Mion, it just says home/.../ is a directory [00:42] mohan43u, the standar ubuntu one [00:42] Juravial: what device is it? [00:42] Trendnet TEW-421PC [00:42] dynamic_batt: just type `sudo -i` [00:42] Juravial: how does lspci identify it,. [00:43] fearful: goto Edit->Preference->Display Line Numbers [00:43] now i get the root@...-desktop im now in root yes? [00:43] mohan43u, ah thank you very much [00:44] Any idea why this sudoers file fails parsing? http://pastebin.com/m219bba05 [00:44] dynamic_batt: now you have root privs until you do an `exit` [00:44] dynamic_batt: so be caregfull [00:44] carefull* [00:44] Would that be cardbus bridge or PCI Bridge? [00:44] Mion, if i exit terminal im back to user? [00:44] Juravial: i think it should show up in lspci [00:44] yes [00:45] it's more or less the same as su - [00:45] how can i see diskspace on my server? :S [00:45] so i need to edit that menu.lst with terminal? [00:45] Mox`: df and du [00:45] when i do an lspci in terminal I get a who slew of stuff .. not sure how to identify [00:45] I was wondering if it was compatible with the Intel 845 graphics controller because I get Ubuntu to install via Wubi...but it freezes up immediately after I login [00:45] Mion thanks [00:45] dynamic_batt, you're not exiting the terminal, you're exiting the *shell* (a shell can "contain" another shell, and that's really what you're doing -- starting a super-user shell) [00:46] bernz, oh... thats does make some sense... [00:46] dynamic_batt, (it's no big deal, but encouraging correct terminology makes it easier to describe and solve problems ;-) [00:46] Mox`: carefull with du, it might take a long time if you do du / :p [00:46] :D [00:47] Mion heh, I've found out :], how can I see the space in mb or gb? with df :O [00:47] man df [00:47] you are looking for the -h flag [00:47] "human readable" (to remember it) [00:48] oke thanks :D [00:48] Indygunfreak: I get a whole slew of stuff when I run lspci. I am not sure how to identify it [00:48] hmm, can I see size of a directory? :O [00:48] Juravial: does any of them look like a wireless device?.. if you can't tell, put it in pastebin and give me the link.. [00:48] !pastebin | Juravial [00:48] Juravial: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[00:51] Juravial: it looks like you have an intel internal wireless device, why don;t you use it?.. intel usuallly works out fo the box, i do believe. [00:51] I was wondering if it was compatible with the Intel 845 graphics controller because I get Ubuntu to install via Wubi...but it freezes up immediately after I login [00:52] I have had a problem with this thing since the very first time I formatted it. Default driver from Acer would never work [00:52] oh yea ub has great support...its called getting ignored [00:52] ill need to learn this console language... >< [00:52] It seems like that...or nobody has the answer [00:52] ok.. so finnaly its time for test-run :D [00:52] man man is your friend.

I have a live cd coming in the mail...but I'd like to know if the problem is my computer, WUBI, or something else. [00:54] <_VIM_> yep [00:55] When I first got the laptop it worked fine, a few years ago ..got virused, formatted, tried to reinstall but the default drivers from Acer wouldn't work. I was never able to find a driver so I picked up the trend net onw [00:55] vigo, more sheet music [00:55] but I also want to synthesize it [00:56] Juravial: ipw2200 works perfectly, just install the firmware and load the module [00:56] slide: Amorok/Alsa/TuxGuitar/ and a buch of others, look at fsf.org [00:56] Can you run more then one session of K3b ? - I have (2) DVD burners - Would like to burn both CD's at the same time ? ? [00:56] yeey it works ^^ [00:56] kk...I'll just wait for my cd to come in the mail...hopefully WUBI is the problem [00:56] ok, i'll try it out [00:56] <_VIM_> Dethroned: why not just download one?

[01:04] Other than that question it looks pretty good [01:04] <_VIM_> Dethroned: well it acts as a cd, that's all i know :) [01:04] so if i'm installing gtk+ and friends via source, can i untar them in /usr/src?

I don't want to leave Linux on it and have them be confused and start yelling at me. [01:06] omg 1350 in channel [01:06] They don't even know what an operating system is. [01:06] _VIM_, (is 'bochs' any good compared to the other VMs you mentioned?) [01:07] <_VIM_> not tried that one bernz, most people around here say Virtualbox is the way to go [01:07] _VIM_, okay, i'll give that a try, thanks [01:07] Mion: Doing so now. Thanks [01:08] _VIM_: If I were to set it up for dual boot with XP, how would I go about uninstalling Ubuntu if I needed to? [01:08] Dethroned: reinstall the mbr and then remove the ubuntu partitions [01:08] Dethroned: master boot record, you need the windows xp cd for that [01:09] <_VIM_> yep you'll need windows cd [01:10] Dethroned: but i don't think you would want to remove the ubuntu partition ;) [01:10] Mion: SHould I follow this? http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/ [01:10] holy crap this channel is not fludded as it usually is [01:11] <_VIM_> sveakex: well his parents might :P [01:11] Juravial: no, just install the firmware with apt-get if you don't have it already, and then modprobe ipw2200 [01:11] Mion: I've installed the pack and I still don't get any corrections coming up. This is under Ubuntu 8.10. Yes I restarted OOo. [01:12] Hey, my sound just died on me. I've been using Ubuntu for a long time now, and I've never had this happen. It was just working on Windows five minutes ago. [01:12] I already checked Alsamixer; everything is at 100%. [01:12] Juravial: i suggest looking for instructions in the ubuntu forums or wiki rather than official instructions [01:12] hey guys [01:12] If you still have a trusty Win 98 boot disk, you can re-write the MBR much easier then getting your hands on a XP cd [01:12] hi all got a encfs/samba question is it possible to view/add delete files from the fused folder via samba ? [01:12] Mefached: try sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart [01:12] or [01:13] i just installed ubuntu but only have had experience with mandriva. how do i go about installing tools for compiling and such ? [01:13] Mefached: sudo /etc/init.d/alsamixer restart [01:13] Mefached: in the console [01:13] sveakex: If not able to completely uninstall it...would it be possible to decrease the Unbutu partition enough so that it doesn't limit the XP partition? [01:13] can someone help me out with my USB audio adapter? whenever i open any program that uses sound (i.e. a movie, or even worse any program under Wine) i get a really loud whining sound out of my speakers...the adapter has both a microphone and a speaker jack...i know that in windows, i can Mute the Microphone and the whining stops but i can't seem to figure that out in ubunut...im running 8.04 64bit and it's the C-Media Usb adapter [01:14] Dethroned: you can if you have the windows xp cd.. there are also different sources to get one *cough* [01:14] Command not found, sveakex [01:14] Say, the internet? *cough cough* [01:15] Dethroned: as long as you got free space, yes [01:15] Dethroned: yes ;) i mean you are just using it reinstall the mbr, so i think it's fair enough [01:15] Dethroned: You should be able to resize your existing partitions (relatively safely) with a GParted and re-write the MBR with an XP cd or an old windows boot dosk [01:16] I currently have Windows XP pro...but I have a windows cd for XP home edition...close enough? lol [01:16] Dethroned: i'd rewrite the mbr before removing ubuntu [01:16] is there anyone in here using encfs ? [01:16] Dethroned: that might work, but i am not sure [01:16] Dethroned, no, not close enough [01:16] Dethroned: Does it have a floppy drive? http://boot.oldos.net/boot98.exe [01:16] Hello, when I go to shut down my computer I get "Unable to iterate IDE devices: no such file or directory " [01:16] the win98 boot disks support "fdisk /mbr" [01:17] akorn, does "ALSA mixer" mean anything to you? if not, try typing '!sound' (i think, maybe '!alsa') into the channel here [01:17] and it halts [01:17] Let me dig in my drawer of crap... [01:17] Dethroned, wait... close enough to rewrite the MBR, not close enough for reinstall, repair install, etc [01:17] !alsa [01:17] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [01:17] Mion: File -> Wizard -> Install Language works so long as you have enough preficiency to get through the menu with the corresponding language. [01:18] I am using Hardy , how would I go about fixing this ? [01:18] \join #gentoo [01:18] ok i am running linux and i am connecting to my site via ssh in terminal i changed my ssh port so how to i type that in to use the correct port and not 22 in terminal [01:18] ??? [01:18] !sound [01:18] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [01:18] techqbert: don't care, I use vim + aspell + texlive :p [01:18] !alsa [01:18] i want to install kde4.2, someone help [01:18] bosco: use the -p flag to choose port [01:18] bernz neither one's working haha [01:18] oh nvm sorry [01:18] ubuntu on my laptop hangs during boot i have to hit the enter keys before it will finish loading [01:18] !players [01:18] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

[01:19] bosco: ssh blah.ath.cx -p 1337 [01:19] jdimond, correct [01:19] Mion: just for future reference [01:19] bosco: to enter port 1337 [01:19] bosco: ssh -p (the port) [01:19] ugliefrog -> remove quiet and splash to see the debugging log while booting [01:19] thank you never done it before sounding like a noob [01:19] Hmm...the best i can find is windows XP home reinstallation cd [01:20] bosco: try ssh -h [01:20] bosco: or man ssh [01:20] Dethroned: that should be fine, if you startup the "recovery console" there are some tools available. "fdisk /mbr" will re-write the MBR [01:20] if thats all you're looking to do [01:20] Would it delete Ubuntu? [01:21] trapline91: The following packages have unmet dependencies, how can i install the dependencies one time [01:21] Dethroned: no, just overwrite the mbr [01:21] re-writing the MBR will make windows startup automatically instead of your bootloader (GRUB) [01:21] So essentially it would avoid the Ubuntu partition? [01:21] Dethroned: rewriting the mbr removes grub, after that you remove the partitions and make your ntfs partition larger [01:22] hello everyone I was wondering is anyone else using avast antivirus? [01:22] wartalker, Was it 4.2 that you wanted? [01:22] jdimond, any ideas? [01:22] Dethroned: if you only remove the ubuntu partitions you can't boot [01:22] anyway all is it possible to user the mounted unencrypted mount of encfs with samba? [01:22] !ask | joker42 [01:22] joker42: 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. :-) [01:22] trapline91:yes [01:22] joker42: this is a linux channel [01:22] Im having trouble installing [01:22] Maybe he's installing it on linux [01:22] joker42: o rly? [01:22] joker42: you don't need avast on linux [01:22] i know i have the linux version [01:23] wartalker, try this http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 [01:23] joker42: why? [01:23] !virus | joker42 [01:23] joker42: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [01:23] Mion: One last thing. Does your vim method support grammar checking too? Mine doesn't. I used a genitive preposition and OOo throws no errors around my nominative definite article. [01:23] if you guys say so [01:23] Does anyone know what I can use to forward yahoo messenger traffic coming in through a VPN? [01:23] sveakex: So fixing the MBR would make it boot up in Windows...then I would have to manually adjust the partitions? [01:23] I thought ClamAV was available [01:23] I think the protocol uses 5050 [01:23] ok thanks [01:23] techqbert: vim solution to what? vim has some degree of grammar checking. [01:23] Moopies, clamav is available in the repositories [01:23] techqbert: I only use it to catch plain old typos etc [01:24] joker42: only reason you'dneed antivirus, is if you're filesharing w/ Windows machines, and you need to scan the files before sending them to windows users [01:24] Moopies: You could add -h switch in the halt script. [01:24] Titan8990, I don't really see a need for it [01:24] hello [01:24] raylu: vim aspell texlive is the software collaboration in question [01:24] jdimond, halt script ? [01:24] Moopies, well, if you are running an email server that has windows clients, you want a virus scanner [01:24] Moopies: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/193125 <--- There launchpad bug explaining [01:24] Oh yes. [01:24] techqbert: i happen to use that too :D [01:24] Dethroned: yup, i think you can use the ubuntu cd to remove the partitions, just start gparted when you are inside the cd, or sudo gparted, if you are lucky windows might have a built in tool for adjusting partitions [01:24] hello, somehow in /etc/passwd file, root was renamed as oot, now I have no root account on this machine. Simple fix?? [01:25] sveakex: last time i told windows to remove an ext3 partition it did so... and then screwed up the partition table [01:25] dsmith_, backup that file and manually fix it [01:25] Dethroned: you can also use partition magic to resize partitions... you download it from the internet *cough* [01:25] dsmith_: live cd + mount + text editor [01:25] raylu: ;D it doesn't throw any errors around grammar mistakes does it? [01:25] dsmith_, although I have trouble believing that happened without direct user intervention [01:25] no reason to use partition magic, its very old and hasn't been updated in years [01:25] Dethroned: ok don't use windows to remove the ubuntu partitions [01:25] just use gparted [01:25] dsmith_: boot up the machine with a live cd and change it [01:25] i must have edited, without seeing the r being removed, duhhh [01:25] ok [01:25] techqbert: it does, though rarely. it highlights spelling mistakes in red and grammar mistakes in blue [01:25] sveakex: Thanks. Hopefully this works and everything works. If I need any more help I'll track you down or something...lol *cough* [01:26] I was thinking along the lines of a live cd :) [01:26] you can boot with the ubuntu live cd and use gparted [01:26] raylu: did you rewrite the mbr? [01:26] thx guys [01:26] Dethroned: yeah, but try using the ubuntu cd to rewrite the mbr [01:26] raylu: hrm maybe I'll give that solution a shot with Deutsch. [01:26] sveakex: overwrite the mbr with windows? no [01:26] Now all I have to do is rely on the mail service [01:26] Dethroned: um [01:26] techqbert: are you familiar with vim? [01:26] Dethroned: i meant the partions [01:26] jdimond, I am guessing you want me to follow "Joe Philipps wrote on 2008-07-11: (permalink) " 's ideas? [01:26] LogicFan: why gparted? just a text editor [01:26] Dethroned: not the mbr :P [01:27] eh? [01:27] Hello, I desktop can not be shown on projector while I am using Ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD, my video card is geforce 7150m [01:27] <_VIM_> zim1: you're thinking of gedit [01:27] raylu: at an intermediate or amateur level yeah. [01:27] raylu: you need to rewrite the mbr with a windows install cd if you want to remove ubuntu [01:27] sveakex: Windows cd=MBR Ubuntu cd=Partitions...right? [01:27] Dethroned: yes sorry if i mixed it up a little :P [01:27] Moopies: Yes. I had similar issues with my wifes laptop and those instructions solved it. [01:27] sveakex: I think I've got it figured out [01:27] I mean, projector just show nothing when I am in Ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD, how can I do to fix this problem? [01:27] Dethroned: good :) [01:28] was responding to this (01:26:07) LogicFan: you can boot with the ubuntu live cd and use gparted [01:28] zim1, yes, you can do that. [01:28] <_VIM_> zim1: ah :) [01:28] sveakex: Now watch my usb drive blow up...ha! [01:28] Dethroned: usb? :P [01:28] zim1, gparted is the gnome partition manager [01:29] sveakex: I'm gonna try and install Ubuntu from a flash drive [01:29] Can anyone help me to configure my projector? I use compaq v3000 and my video card is geforce 7150m [01:29] sveakex: right. i wasn't removing ubuntu; i was actually messing around with some other distros [01:29] LogicFan: yes i know but it wnt help with editing the user file [01:29] jdimond, OK, but I'm not understanding this jokers jibber jabber on what to do , mixed with ranting [01:29] raylu: i reccomend having on distro at once per computer ;) [01:30] when I set an X11 cursor, it only works w/o desktop effects, when enabling desktop effects, then it goes to the default cursor, any ideas >? [01:30] sveakex: that's what i had. but i had a partition for / and a partition for /home [01:30] sveakex: to make distro-switching easier :D [01:30] hello all [01:30] jdimond, It appears after " log_action_msg "Will now halt" " , I go down two lines to halt -d -f -i $poweroff $hddown [01:30] I am still looking for anyone who uses encfs [01:30] jdimond, And remove halt ? [01:31] raylu: then something weird happened, i suggest to edit partitions in linux then, with live cds [01:31] sveakex: yep. that's what i ended up doing...after recovering my data using some linux tools [01:31] sveakex: closest i've ever come to losing data [01:31] Moopies: don't remove halt [01:31] raylu: hehehe :P [01:31] jdimond, OK. Just remove -h ? [01:32] sveakex: it was funny for the person i had told the day before that "backups are excessive" [01:32] jdimond: what do you want to do? [01:32] Moopies: Yes, that's what I did. [01:32] raylu: hehehe :) [01:32] wait, I don't see a -h [01:32] !compiz [01:32] halt -d -f -i $poweroff $hddown [01:32] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [01:33] there must be some one in here with something to hide is anyone using encfs? === odder_ is now known as odder [01:33] <_VIM_> How come Ubuntu doesn't have photorec? It's a really good file recovery (and not just for photos) It's in OpenSuSE's repos but I'm not seeing it in Ubuntu :/ [01:33] jdimond, what line is -h in? [01:34] whats best to install as server? ubuntu 8.04 x63 or ubuntu 8.10 x64? [01:34] why are so many people derisive of ubuntu? [01:34] x64* [01:34] Mox`: debian [01:34] Hello gurus of all that is Ubuntu / linux . I have a usb external drive that i use the mount command to mount up to a specified directory. Using Samba, if i share the folder out, and then mount with the sudo command to that directory, it appears root takes ownership. Is there a way to use the mount command and say to doso as a different user ? or am i going about this the wrong direction ? [01:34] Moopies -> why are you using halt instead of shutdown? [01:34] how to make the computer run my command when powering on my PC? [01:34] n8tuserf, ? [01:34] Moopies: It should have been in that line you referenced [01:34] sveakex I don't wan't debian? [01:35] Mox`: how long do you need support for 8.04 has longer support LTS [01:35] Mox`: :p [01:35] deathtech: what filesystem? [01:35] jrib : Heya jrib, i beleive you have helped me before :) its an ntfs filesystem [01:35] zim1 hmm didn't understand that? :S [01:35] how to make the computer run my command automatically when powering on my PC? [01:35] Mox`: if you want a server you want something stable [01:35] fat32 baaay-bee! [01:35] Mox`: I think 8.04 will update till 2013 [01:35] sveakex and ubuntu isn't stable? :O [01:35] when I set an X11 cursor, it only works w/o desktop effects, when enabling desktop effects, then it goes to the default cursor, any ideas >? [01:35] zim1 oke [01:35] deathtech: what command are you running to mount it? [01:36] jdimond, it goes log_action_message "will now halt" | sleep 1 | halt -d -f -i $poweroff $hddown | } [01:36] Mox`: well it used to based on debian unstable [01:36] jrib : sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 [01:36] !ntfs | deathtech [01:36] deathtech: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [01:36] deathtech: you need to pass proper fmask/dmask options [01:36] deathtech, you have to specify a mount point if its not in /etc/fstab [01:36] Moopies: I bet removing the $hddown would solve it, but I don't know if it will have any negative effects. [01:36] I do i just didnt include that in the command :) [01:37] deathtech: ok, what do you actually run? [01:37] something like halt -d -f $poweroff [01:37] sveakex hmm okay, currently i run 8.04 ubuntu x64 on the server and it works quite good, I don't know if I can feel any difference if I picked debian instead? [01:37] jrib: have you used encfs? [01:37] sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 ~/Mount [01:37] zim1: no [01:37] configure: error: The important program kde-config was not found! [01:37] Please check whether you installed KDE correctly. [01:37] Mox`: well what are you using the server for? [01:37] whats wrong? [01:37] Moopies -> why are you using halt instead of shutdown? i dont think its a good idea using shutdown, it does not do syncing if i recall [01:37] deathtech: where is the fmask/dmask options? [01:37] Mox`, debian is considered to be more stable, becuase it upgrades the kernel less [01:37] sveakex virtual webhosting [01:37] jrib : that may be what im missing, i dont include those [01:38] Titan8990 hmm, well now I don't need kernel upgrade all the time? :O [01:38] Mox`, a lot of breakages can occur in ubuntu after the like monthly kernel upgrade [01:38] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KSmoothDock i did everything like it said :( [01:38] Moopies -> rather its not a good idea to use halt.. [01:38] Titan8990 okay [01:38] Mox`, no, you don't have to, just saying, most distros will only use a couple kernels doing that version's lifecycle [01:38] Mox`: then you would want something as stable as possible since it is a business, so i would reccomend debian over ubuntu [01:38] Titan8990 ye okay [01:38] n8tuserf, "Hello, when I go to shut down my computer I get "Unable to iterate IDE devices: no such file or directory " " [01:39] sveakex, or BSD :) [01:39] sveakex well allright, you are right :),. hmm well is debian as easy as ubuntu? [01:39] LogicFan: yeah, OpenBSD hasn't had a bug for ages i have heard [01:39] can I convert directly? [01:39] Moopies -> all the time? or one time? [01:39] FreeBSD is more modern in terms of what it supports [01:39] n8tuserf, all the time [01:39] n8tuserf, " Moopies: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/193125 <--- There launchpad bug explaining " [01:39] How do I get the "cube effect" for compiz? I have the settings manager but still only have two desktops and no cube... [01:39] how do i do------>boot with pci=noacpi [01:39] Mox`: it can't be so much more difficult ;) but i don't like the debian documentation, you can use the ubuntu wiki and the gentoo wiki as a base [01:40] josher4, general options -> desktop size: 4 [01:40] OpenBSD works well if your hardware and whatever software you need is 100% supported, but a lot of common stuff doesn't work yet. however, its ultra secure [01:40] sveakex the gentoo wiki is down? :O [01:40] sveakex: I was just wondering how I boot the computer from the flash drive when I reboot. [01:40] Moopies -> okay [01:40] sveakex but ye, I don't like the documentation too, last time I used debian I remember the doc sucked [01:40] Dethroned, you need to enter your BIOS and tell your machine to boot from the USB port instead of hdd or cdrom [01:40] sveakex, the gentoo wiki recently lost its entire database [01:40] Any German speakers in the house? I think OOo is throwing an incorrect error. Wahrend des Wochenendes is correct right? Wochenendes -(genitive)-> es not en right? [01:41] sveakex, it is in the rebuilding proccess [01:41] n8tuserf, jdimond, it appears others have replaced it with " halt -d -f $poweroff $hddown " [01:41] LogicFan: How do I go about doing that?

[01:41] most bios options have some sort of boot option menu that will allow you select which device to boot from and what order [01:41] josher4, also, make sure desktop cube and rotate cube are turned on [01:41] jdimond, n8tuserf, taking out the " -i " [01:41] Hi, what I update my sources.list?

[01:43] josher4, yes [01:43] Dethroned, yes, but you can set the order [01:43] Mox`: but remember it is just a base to help you do what you want :) [01:43] so, 1:USB, 2: HDD, 3:CDROM [01:43] how do i do------>boot with pci=noacpi [01:43] " Iterates configured network interfaces and brings them down before shutting down " [01:43] so if there's no USB present, it will go to HDD, and so on until it finds a bootable device [01:44] hey, whats the easiest way to install ksmoothdock? [01:44] ugliefrog, add it to the end of the kernel line in grub [01:44] _VIM: it seem that it was a need for a format to record high definition - the question is whether we can at least play the files in linux (and if possible edit them) [01:44] What's the point in that anyway ? [01:44] Moopies -> ummm.. curious as to the results if you do a sync; sync; sync; sudo telinit 6 if same results? [01:44] sveakexye :) [01:44] ugliefrog, you can use e to edit from the menu or you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:44] ugliefrog, whichever you prefer [01:44] Titan8990: Still only two desktops and no cube. And the effects are enabled [01:44] anyone have a good site to find awesome desktop wallpapers, possibly linux oriented (other tham gnome-look.org) [01:44] dynamic_batt: synapitc? [01:44] n8tuserf, a who what [01:44] boot_loop, deviantart.com [01:44] josher4, did you turn on desktop cube and cube rotate? [01:44] ok cool, thanks LogicFan [01:44] !themes > boot_loop [01:44] boot_loop, please see my private message [01:44] hmm CentOS? :S have any of u tried that system? [01:44] Titan8990: Yes [01:45] Moopies -> sync is a must before you shutdown, telinit 6 puts it in runlevel 6 which is shutdown [01:45] josher4, I would suggest joining #compiz-fusion [01:45] Mox`, yes, its a free version of red hat enterprise linux [01:45] for servers [01:45] Mox`: is is based on Reh Hat Enterprise Linux, so it should be safe [01:45] <_VIM_> acu I seriously don't know, but please PM me or something when you find out :) [01:45] sveakex, whats that? i kinda dont understand (my language isnt english..) :D [01:45] okay, so centos vs debian? who wins? :) [01:45] n8tuserf, So this is all done for me though ? When I click "shutdown" or "restart" ? [01:45] Moopies -> but runlevel 6 runs bunch of script [01:45] dynamic_batt: do you use kubuntu or ubuntu? [01:45] Mox`, you don't get the paid professional support of RHEL though [01:45] sveakex, ubuntu [01:45] Mox`, as always, the questions is "for what purpose" [01:46] dynamic_batt: press alt f2 and you should get a dialog, type synapitic inside and see if something opens === GooDMaX is now known as Scaryteam [01:46] _for playing I understood that VLC 0.9 might do it - however the repositories cannot pe updated [01:46] <_VIM_> !best | Mox` [01:46] Mox`: 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. [01:46] sveakex, ok [01:46] Moopies -> should be done for you automatically clicking those you mentioned, but since you're having issues, am curious if telinit 6 would have same results as your ide not being found [01:46] LogicFan well, virtual webhotel hosting :) [01:47] You will not be able to apply any changes. But you can still export the marked changes or create a download script for them. :( [01:47] root again.. [01:47] is add/remove just another apt-get gui? [01:47] Mox`: is webhotel hosting any profitable? [01:47] sveakex well it's just as an start.. just to try it out [01:47] dynamic_batt: um, try adding sudo infront of it, so sudo synaptic [01:47] dynamic_batt: i mean gksudo [01:48] sveakex, gksudo synaptic? [01:48] sveakex I have a really okay server with alot of space and so on, so why not try it out :D [01:48] dynamic_batt: yeah give that a shot :) [01:48] sveakex on a 100mbit connection too [01:48] i'm trying to figure why don't synaptic installed apps show up in add/remove? [01:48] Mox`: your customers might get pissed off if something does not work :P [01:48] sveakex, oh.. thanks [01:48] dynamic_batt: you're welcome :) [01:48] sveakex hehe ye, that's why I need to do the right choice [01:48] LogicFan: add/remove only has some of what's available. it's mostly for popular applications [01:49] prince_j1mmys, even if you install popular apps through synaptic, they don't show up in add/remove. is add/remove just another apt-get gui? [01:49] Mox`: well debian or centos would be the best choice, ubuntu would also work but i'd put the other two infront [01:49] LogicFan: yeah, it's like a simplified synaptic, more "user-friendly", except when it's confusing, like now [01:50] prince_j1mmys, gotcha, thanks [01:50] my navigation buttons and bookmarks in firefox aren't working, has anybody else experienced this? forums are not helping [01:50] sveakex can u tell me what's the benefit of using centos? :D [01:50] Mox`, distrowatch.org [01:50] Hey could someone help me out with installing a Linksys WPC54G on Ubuntu 6.06 [01:50] brotherhand: did you recently do a update? [01:50] Mox`: um, it is based on red hat enterprise linux, a business oriented linux [01:50] Mox`: and i think ubuntu is pretty unstable [01:50] LogicFan -> add/remove uses /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/gnome-app-install while synaptic runs /usr/sbin/synaptic [01:50] uhm.. when I try to start compiz, I get: Checking for nVidia: not present. It then segfaults.. help? === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [01:50] so is there a known workaround for gnome-screensaver after suspend ignoring user activity? [01:50] Mox`: on the other hand i have only used ubuntu as a desktop [01:51] n8tuserf, thanks! [01:51] I have since, but it just started mid-session, before any update [01:51] brb one minute [01:51] brotherhand: Did you restart firefox? [01:51] sveakex ye oke, I think theres a big difference there.. well I've only tried ubuntu and gentoo as server, and gentoo, damn stable, but is pretty hard to configure and setup [01:52] n8tuserf, which one is considered best practice for your average desktop ubuntu user? [01:52] yes, tried reboot too [01:52] n8tuserf, because just about all docs say to use apt-get or synaptic [01:52] LogicFan -> id say synaptic [01:52] i've found that killing and starting gnome-screensaver in a terminal will fix my problem, but i can't get gnome-screensaver to start from within a script [01:52] something about it not being able to open the display [01:53] brotherhand: Save your bookmarks and try uninstalling firefox and reinstalling. [01:53] Q: im looking for a gnome-do/kicker like thing for xfce4. any reccs? [01:53] how can i find out what version of linux i am running? [01:53] n8tuserf, yeah it seems unfriendly to have add/remove be more prominent in the default menu, but conventional best practices say to use apt-get or synaptic [01:53] LogicFan: synaptic is more comprehensive. there is also aptitude, which can be used instead of apt-get and also has a text-mode interface. try "aptitude" (sudo not necessary just to check it out) [01:53] !version | azlon [01:53] azlon: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [01:53] mike_hurley -> could be like cron where it does not have access to a terminal? [01:53] ok i'll try it [01:53] prince_jammys, thanks [01:53] what is a good multiple image compressor for ubuntu? [01:53] Does anyone here consider themselves an Ubuntu guru [01:54] Mox`: i love gentoo, but it is not user friendly which is bad because you are not 100% sure of what you are doing... and it is easy to screw gentoo up :P [01:54] jdimond, n8tuserf, I'm gonna go try shutting down then restarting now I reckon [01:54] !ask | Scubidus [01:54] Scubidus: 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. :-) [01:54] <_VIM_> Nytrix: as stated earlier ImageMagic [01:54] I did ask [01:54] Moopies: Good luck! [01:54] vim i try it but didnt work [01:54] jdimond, May the power of the goat side be with you! [01:54] Moopies -> try that telinit 6 too, just curious.. [01:54] bahh [01:54] Mox`: but it is good for a home server or a desktop, and a business server if you are good at it [01:54] Scubidus: ok, this channel is just for ubuntu support. #ubuntu-offtopic for other conversations. Thanks [01:54] i couldnt even load the program [01:54] Hey could someone help me out with installing a Linksys WPC54G on Ubuntu 6.06 [01:54] n8tuserf, If I knew what it did.. [01:54] n8tuserf: probably...it's being done within a script in the /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d directory [01:54] I'd do it [01:54] lol [01:55] Moopies -> if you google for runlevel, this a common practice of the original unix systems.. [01:55] n8tuserf: is there a way to kick off gnome-screensaver in that case? [01:55] sveakex indeed :D heh [01:55] Mox`: gentoo is good because of it's speed and because it can do exactly what you want it to [01:55] exactly.. you chose what will be installed 100% [01:56] hello ubuntu friends! [01:56] mike_hurley -> i think the get around solution to cron was export the DISPLAY variable and then execute the command [01:56] n8tuserf, so I just run telinit 6 in a console ? [01:56] you're all going onto to youtube! :D [01:56] Mox`: arch is also a really good distro but it would never reccomend it for any other purpose than being a desktop or a HOME server === tabidachi_study is now known as tabidachi [01:56] :) [01:56] Moopies -> run sync several times. though first [01:56] sveakex okay, never heard of that one :O [01:56] <_VIM_> Hi youtube! :) /me waves [01:56] what is a good multiple image compressor for ubuntu? [01:57] Mox`: it gives you control in a simple way at cost of stability and reliability [01:57] ubottu: Do you know how to get the drivers for a Linksys WPC54G without the disk and get it working on version 6.06 [01:57] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:57] n8tuserf, sync didn't do jack [01:57] sveakex okay [01:57] !Linksys [01:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about Linksys [01:57] Moopies -> you would not see the effect displayed on the screen, man sync to get an understanding o f wht it does [01:58] !wireless | Scubidus [01:58] Scubidus: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:58] n8tuserf, then you want me to do telinit 6 ? [01:58] n8tuserf: for instance, the line "DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver &" still has the problem [01:58] Moopies -> yes after the sync [01:58] mike_hurley -> export it [01:58] sveakex have u worked with virtual hosting before? [01:58] Mox`: no, all i have done is installed gentoo on virtualbox :P [01:59] i thought putting the var on the same line as the command was the equivalent in the scope of that command [01:59] Mox`: and i had a home server for 2 months [01:59] n8tuserf: i thought putting the var on the same line as the command was the equivalent in the scope of that command [01:59] sveakex hehe okay, It's because I don't really what's the best solution regarding partitions :O [01:59] sveakex hehe okay :) [01:59] complete removal and reinstall of firefox didn't work, still broken navigation controls [01:59] mike_hurley -> but the command forks a shell? [01:59] a few emulators on my system won't make sound... what should i do? [01:59] Mox`, for stability, ext3 accross the board [01:59] Mox`: virtual machines have their own "hard disk" file afaik [01:59] Mox`, for increase speed, reiserfs for rootfs [02:00] hi can i get some help please, when I try running synaptic package manager this is the error i get.......E: Type '' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [02:00] Titan8990, okay, how big shoud swap and boot be? [02:00] E: The list of sources could not be read. [02:00] Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem. [02:00] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [02:00] provo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:00] Titan8990, 4gb swap, 512mb boot? [02:00] mike_hurley -> heres a reference for cron http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-105250.html [02:00] Titan8990: but he needs stability so isn't ext3 better? [02:00] Mox`, the standard is 2x the RAM but really, 4gb is a big swap partition [02:00] sveakex, yes [02:01] Titan8990n, the machine have 2gb of ram [02:01] Titan8990: afterall it is a business and not a home server.. [02:01] Mox`, and 512 is perfectly fine for boot [02:01] Mox`, if you plan to do a lot a webserver stuff, you may want to have the server root on its own partition [02:01] Titan8990: why 512 for a boot partition? the kernal and those files don't take more than 50mb [02:02] Titan8990, what do you mean? :O [02:02] kernel* [02:02] sveakex, mine is only 30mb, but a bit larger doesn't hurt [02:02] Mox`, if this is primarly a web server, you may want a partition for /var/www [02:02] Titan8990, the basic system on one parition and everything else on a partition with rest of the space? [02:03] Titan8990, ye oke, the server shall run dns, mail, db and apache ofc [02:03] can someone help get a movie to play? [02:03] If this is my cfdisk output : http://ldlework.pastebin.com/m133dd964 : How can I give sda1 some of the gigs of sda2? I am currently running mounted sda5 [02:03] Titan8990: 512 is a bit larger? :P if he has 50mb packages he loses 8 customers :P [02:03] Titan8990, so I should make a partition with the base system on it? or? [02:03] chronic -> i used vlc and am happy with it [02:03] Hey guys. Have a feisty box that can't seem to do anything at all with apt-get. Looking at the sources file, it appears all of the source url's 404. Is feisty no longer supported or something? http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ [02:03] Mox`, yes, that is a requirement [02:03] n8tuserf, i have that , still not working [02:04] n8tuserf, that shut the computer down and restarted [02:04] If this is my cfdisk output : http://ldlework.pastebin.com/m133dd964 : How can I give sda1 some of the gigs of sda2? I am currently running mounted sda5 [02:04] SuperMoopies -> okay, isnt that what you wanted? [02:04] Titan8990, how big should the base system be then? [02:04] Mox`, I would make it about 50-100GB [02:04] Mox`, use the rest for /home and /var/www [02:04] ldlework: try using gparted [02:04] n8tuserf, yes, and shut down [02:04] Mox`, 50-100GB [02:04] !compiz [02:04] Titan8990: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:05] ciao [02:05] Dethroned: so what is the situation? [02:05] !list [02:05] 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 [02:05] Mox`, applications don't take that much space [02:05] sveakex: The computer refuses to boot from the usb drive [02:05] is a tmp parition nessarary? [02:05] n8tuserf, how would I do 'shutdown' ? [02:05] SuperMoopies -> but do you still get the no IDE something found? [02:05] Mox`, most would recommend less than that [02:05] n8tuserf, negative [02:05] SuperMoopies -> i use sudo shutdown -h now [02:06] Titan8990 okay, so 20gb space should be fine for the system? [02:06] Dethroned: is usb the first item in the boot priority list in the bios? [02:06] Titan8990, 20gb for all the programs etc. right? :) [02:06] Mox`, should be, but I personally wouldn't make it that small, especially with how cheap storage is these days [02:06] Mox`: what is the question now? :P [02:06] sveakex: I set is at #1 for priority in the boot sequence window dealy in the bios [02:06] SuperMoopies -> well thats good that the problem of missing ide devices has been resolved eh? [02:06] Titan8990 ye oke [02:06] Hi I'm having some serious issues I switched internet providers today and I just got my servers back online but I'm having some sever slowness connecting to my webserver intermittently... I've also been getting lots of log messages on my router saying that it blocked packet ... blah blah wrong network interface (IP address spoofing)... This goes away as soon as I take the ubuntu server off the network [02:07] Mox`, tmp partition is your call, I have never used one but I have only had one CMS that stored files in /tmp and it wasn't in a production env [02:07] Dethroned: well.. i never booted with the usb before so you should ask somebody else who knows how to make it work :/ [02:07] ciao [02:07] sveakex I'm making the partitions :) is a tmp partition needed? ::O [02:07] !list [02:07] sveakex: I'll just wait for my cd to come in the mail and hope my compy can boot from that [02:07] I don't want to mess around with this any more tonight lol [02:07] Dethroned: ok :) [02:07] Titan8990 so I should just screw the tmp partition? :) [02:07] sveakex: Thanks for the help though [02:07] Hello, I need help! I cannot get Flash 10 to run in Firefox on Ubuntu 8.10. Have tried to download it and install it, but it won't work! Any tips? [02:08] Mox`: isn't tmp just for temporary files? [02:08] devilsF00d -> how does the ubuntu host come into the picture? perhaps you can explain what you are hosting on? and what the network layout is like? [02:08] sveakex I think so :) [02:08] Titan8990, you seem to be giving some partitioning advice. Do you have any ideas for me? [02:08] n8tuserf, I reckon , let me try shutdown [02:08] Mox`: just make your / larger x) [02:08] Hey guys, apt-get no longer working on a feisty box. It's not mine... its a small SVN server in our office that I am working with. All the sources 404. Any ideas? Is there some vanilla sources.list file I can replace mine with? [02:08] Mox`: i'd make it 30gb large [02:09] sveakex, root? :) [02:09] ldlework, sorry, I didn't see what you were asking [02:09] My original question was [02:09] Mox`: yeah the partition mounted on / [02:09] If this is my cfdisk output : http://ldlework.pastebin.com/m133dd964 : How can I give sda1 some of the gigs of sda2? I am currently running mounted sda5 [02:09] whalesalad: feisty is End Of Life [02:09] !eol | whalesalad [02:09] whalesalad: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [02:09] gparted says it can't read the contents of the ntfs partitions [02:09] ldlework: use gparted [02:09] sveakex ye oke [02:09] and hence can only delete them, not resize [02:09] ldlework: gparted [02:09] jrib: I was looking for an answer like that. Does that mean I can no longer use apt-get at all with it? What are my options here? Surely I don't need to upgrade the box? [02:09] ldlework, it is likely that you can't [02:09] should I use rest of the space for /home or /var? [02:10] sveakex, I just said that I am using gparted X| [02:10] ldlework, because data gets written to the beginning of a partition [02:10] /var/www or something [02:10] ldlework, the space you want to give to sda1, will already have stuff on it from sda2 [02:10] If I delete the sda2 ? [02:10] solution: the missing firefox navigation controls is caused by corrupted profile.ini. delete it and firefox will make a new one that works [02:10] ldlework: oh, make on smaller and then the other bigger :P [02:10] thanks! [02:10] ldlework, then yes, you should be able to give that size to sda1 [02:10] whalesalad: it doesn't make sense to run a box without updates. You should upgrade [02:10] !upgrade | whalesalad [02:10] whalesalad: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [02:10] ldlework, using parted or whatever GUI frontend for parted you want [02:11] Hi [02:11] jrib: Alright, thanks for the tips. My only worry here is that this is a server which is pretty important in my company right now. What kind of risks do I have with doing this? It's a headless machine, no gui or anything... [02:11] n8tuserf, jdimond : still happens on shutdown , i repeat SHUTDOWN , not restart [02:11] Mox`: make the rest of the space go where you have the webhosting stuff [02:11] Does the mysql-server apt package include all the C header files? [02:11] (so it hasn't been fixed ) [02:11] Titan8990, deleting sda2 did not allow me to resize sda1 =x [02:11] sveakex ye, I just don't know what directory I should use :D [02:12] whalesalad: should be fine, that's not really a special case [02:12] ldlework, using what? [02:12] gparted [02:12] Mox`: it's not so important which directory you use.. just aslong as you know it and it's on the right partition [02:12] sveakex ye oke, i'll just use /home [02:12] gparted reports for sda1 (where windows is installed) "Unable to read contents of this filesystem! Because of this some operations may be unavailable." [02:13] whalesalad: personally, I'd make an image of the drive just in case, then upgrade to gutsy, then to hardy (this way you have support on the server until 2013) [02:13] anyone here using ext4 yet? curious to know if it's even remotely sfe yet [02:13] safe even [02:13] Mox`: on my home server i moved apache or lighttpd root folder to a folder inside /home from /srv [02:13] jrib: It's fairly basic... all our data is backed up to S3 nightly. I'll do some looking around though before I do anything. Thanks for your help. [02:13] Titan8990, could it be because sda1 is flagged as boot? [02:14] sveakex, ye oke [02:14] ldlework, possible, you could try removing the boot flag, but I don't recommend doing anything until all your data is backed up [02:14] ok so I have a lnksys switch with several lan computers connected to it and a d-link router connected to the switch twice, internet in from switch, and one from port one on d-link. Then I have a free-nas server connected to the switch on eth-0 and the router on eth-1, and finally the ubuntu server connected to the router on eth-0 with ip 192... and to the switch with ip 98... (from net provider); the Router is on the same 98. but di [02:14] That didn't work either [02:14] sveakex now it's installing :D [02:14] whalesalad: the update link will give you working feisty repos so you can get up to date before upgrading, but it is a pretty bad idea to keep an unsupported version on there [02:14] ldlework, removing the boot flag didn't [02:14] Mox`: with ubuntu? debian? centos? [02:14] sorry that is crazy but it's the best I could gather from this inherited set up [02:14] Titan8990, correct. [02:14] sveakex debian x64 minimal :D [02:14] 5.0 [02:15] Titan8990, I don't need to apply the deletion of sda2 to make that effective right? [02:15] ldlework, can you mount the windows partition? is marked as "locked"? [02:15] oh and the broadband modem is in the swtich also [02:15] ldlework, not to make it effective, to make it actually happen, yes [02:15] Titan8990, I can mount sda1 just fine from Ubuntu and use it freely. [02:15] It is not currently mounted [02:15] sveakex It's my first time using their rescue system :D so' its a bit exciting if this works [02:16] helo [02:16] any from cuba?

[02:54] Titan8990, how do I see what run at start? :O [02:54] sveakex hehe ye, but that shouldn't have anything to say [02:54] <_VIM_> oh you might want to use a '|less' at the end of that locate command, hehe locate tends to overload the terminal with a LOT of text [02:54] remu: did it work? [02:55] I have a problem, I can no longer play my movies or music, any app I use tried to play it, and then just stops, even VLC, but if I log on another user accout, I am able to listen/watch anything [02:55] <_VIM_> Huufarted: your's sounded cooler ;) [02:55] Mox`, in general, all starting application will be in /etc/init.d [02:55] Mox`, you can also go to System --> Sessions [02:55] Mox`, if you have not removed anything, everything in the /etc/init.d dir will be starting at boot [02:55] Mox`: exactly [02:55] Titan8990 I meant @ boot, update-rc :O [02:55] duelboot, mox has not gui.... [02:56] ahhh, thx Titan8990 [02:56] redvamp128: i uninstalled/reinstalled ALSA and i also ran autoremove i think it removed some old kernel settings or something im not sure wasn't really paying attentino heh [02:56] jmknsd -> compare the permission and group membership of the user that can use vlc and play to the non-playing user [02:56] Mox`: apache.conf files are built slighty different in some distros [02:56] sveakex ye oke :) [02:56] Mox`, those commands are distro specific, and im not completely certain on debians but mine is: rc-update show [02:56] _VIM_: find / -name "base" -user "your" -exec chown us {} \; [02:56] Mox`, so maybe: update-rc show ? [02:57] dont forget when edditing you host file you dont edit hosts.conf [02:57] Titan8990 ye oke, it's not here :\ [02:57] n8tuserf: the account I am having problems with is my main acct, the other us hardly used, both have default permissions, and own the files trying to be viewed [02:57] oh_noes: the colon in root:root has to be escaped, i believe, in the sudoers file [02:58] jmknsd -> look at their respective group membership, see /etc/group [02:58] after trying to download and install Flash 10 on ubuntu 8.10 I get this "Download done. [02:58] md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz [02:58] The Flash plugin is NOT installed. [02:58] " [02:58] curtisab: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:59] Mox`, check out man update-rc [02:59] I have a M1730, which has a small LCD screen in the top right corner. Usually in Vista, it would display the ram usage and CPU performance along with other things. Is there a controller or a driver for Ubuntu 8.10 that will make this show up? [02:59] Titan8990 did that :), anyways how do I remove pw for root? [02:59] redvamp128: any ideas? [02:59] curtisab, adobe updated flashplayer, its not yet reflected in the repos, it expects checksum from previous version. Thats my guess anyhow [02:59] 1400 people in this room and not one person could even point me in the right direction!!!! WOW, and this is called a support channel HA! [02:59] akorn: try rebooting then hit the escape key- then select the option of repair [02:59] Mox`, passwd root -l [02:59] Mox`, make sure sudo is configured first [03:00] n8tuserf: hmm ,some of the groups have the new acct as a member, but not the main acct [03:00] akorn: also try 'gnome-session' see if it gives you any errors? [03:00] Titan8990 thanks :), and I have.. I've added my user so I have access to root [03:00] prince_jammys: thanks. That fixed it [03:00] okay hopefully this works thanks redvamp [03:00] jmknsd -> there's your clue.. [03:01] redvamp128: okay thanks hopefully this works [03:01] why does networking depend on a non-existant service "ifupdown"? [03:01] n8tuserf: fax, tape and fuse [03:01] akorn hold on [03:01] hmm.. sudo says, unable to resolv host everytime I run the command sudo? :S [03:01] lws: ifupdown is not a service; it's a suite of scripts [03:02] How do I check if a file exists in terminal? [03:02] fuse... that sounds relevant [03:02] is SD usb adapter dongle ok for booting ubuntu for install or do i need to buy USB jumpdrive? [03:02] jmknsd -> umm..maybe fuse is more essential [03:02] akorn: if that does not work though I have found on one page this command-- though still some researching on it -- said it fixed a borked desktop install -' sudo dpkg --configure -a' [03:02] dtchen: Yes I know. [03:02] changed, is there a way to restart the sound service? [03:02] dtchen: Yes, but /etc/init.d/networking says: Required-Start: mountkernfs ifupdown $local_fs [03:02] /proc/mdstats has it all, you just gotta read the instructions to know what it all means... seems like it would be pretty easy to make a little gui app for it that displays the information nicely - and maybe pings it once a minute to check the health... if only i knew how to code in whatever language i would use to make that :) [03:03] crazyryan_a - either you simplay ls /path/to/file.name or in a script with test -e (like if [ -e FILENAME ]; then ... fi) [03:03] hi guys, have an I have an old compaq lying around with two nics and wanted to setup a little networking monitoring device that would sit behind the modem, but in front of the router. Wasn't sure if ubuntu was the right distro to use or if there was something better? [03:03] dtchen: It can't start as long as ifupdown doesn't start, and since ifupdown isn't a service, it can never start. [03:04] Mox`: /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname need to have the same hostname or sudo problems can occur. [03:04] lws: that's because it's a "service" (meaning it ships an /etc/init.d/ifupdown) in Debian's package [03:04] dontbestupid -> its good enuff, any linux should do ok for tht functionality [03:05] dtchen: Why don't I have it then? [03:05] roadrock ok thanks [03:05] lws: are you running Ubuntu instead of Debian? [03:05] Mox`: welcome [03:05] n8tuserf do you know of any good tutorials? [03:05] dtchen: Yes, that's why I'm in #ubuntu [03:05] !reiserfs [03:05] reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html [03:05] lws: Ubuntu does not ship an /etc/init.d/ifupdown [03:05] !ics | dontbestupid [03:05] dontbestupid: 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 [03:06] lws: instead, we use a udev rule (/etc/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules) [03:06] dtchen: Then why does /etc/init.d/networking depend on it? [03:06] lws -> what are you looking for? === eric is now known as Guest98990 [03:06] what a difrent xchat genom and xchat only? [03:06] lws: hence, in Ubuntu, it does not matter that the initscript for ifupdown is not shipped === la-popel is now known as bauer86 [03:07] dtchen: It does if I set networking to start via chkconfig [03:07] dtchen: NetworkManager is a piece of **** that keeps messing up my resolv.conf and custom AP setup. [03:07] lws: feel free, then, to file a bug affecting netbase to have it fixed [03:07] lws -> chkconfig is also not an ubuntu feature [03:07] t [03:08] n8tuserf: My problem is I disabled NetworkManager. and I would *Like* my network interfaces to come up on startup still. Thus, adding networking to the default runlevels. [03:08] roadrock, hostname in /etc/hosts og /etc/hostname is now the same, but i still says it? :S [03:08] lws: you don't need to add networking to the default runlevels to have that happen [03:08] dtchen: Well it isn't happening, what do I need to do then? [03:08] lws: you need to edit interfaces(5) and use auto iface foo ... [03:09] lws -> post your /etc/network/interfaces file please [03:09] dtchen: I do have that setup. [03:09] Mox`: what was the error? [03:09] lws post it so we can make comments [03:09] n8tuserf i'm looking to create a machine-in-the-middle box (transparent) in between the cable modem and router with wireshark (preferably gui), so that i can see what kinda packets are flowing thru the connection [03:09] roadrock sudo: unable to resolve host [03:10] if you were to make a 'sudo xchat' on startup, would the user be able to exit out of it without being root? [03:10] n8tuserf: http://pastebin.com/d2eb97c8a [03:10] i am looking to have xchat alway s on so my family cannot exit out of it [03:10] help i have 8.10 and weneva i try 2 run a game it runs it but gliches difrent coulourd ect.\ [03:10] dontbestupid -> well you have to configure your router (ubuntu) as if it was not even there even though it is acting as router or if yo uwant as a bridge(expensive) [03:10] keres: why would you use an irc client as root? [03:10] Mox`: I'm thinking a reboot might do it. [03:11] sveakex: simply so my family won't exit out of it while they are on [03:11] sveakex: i have problems with that. Will that work or is there a better way? [03:11] help i have 8.10 and weneva i try 2 run a game it runs it but gliches difrent coulourd ect. [03:11] keres: i don't think it would work, but you could use irssi and screen [03:11] lsw: line 1 is incorrect, onl y have one interface there ie auto lo more comments to follow [03:12] help i have 8.10 and weneva i try 2 run a game it runs it but gliches difrent coulourd ect. [03:12] kizza: play a different game [03:12] every game [03:12] roadrock, just tried that :O [03:12] n8tuserf: eh.. I didn't make most of that line, it comes shiped with eth0 on it. [03:12] lsw: you can delete line 10 and 12 no need to mention if you wanted it manually activated [03:12] help i have 8.10 and weneva i try 2 run a game it runs it but gliches difrent coulourd ect. [03:12] sveakex: i am unfamiliar with those. could you explain? could a shell script be looped to just restart the app if it ever gets quit? [03:12] Hey, let's say I create a crontab. How can I reference that in future when I want to edit it from command line? [03:13] lws nope it never gets installed like that.. so correct it if you want a working one [03:13] n8tuserf: That's true *if* you don't have networkmanager running, otherwise it tries to do stuff with them and screws up my bridge setup. [03:13] keres: irssi is an irc client for the console, screen is a program for the console which you can close the terminal and "revive" that window [03:13] Mox`: what sudo command did you run? are you certain /etc/hosts is 'correctly' written? [03:13] Is it normal to have 135 running processes but only 3 are used the rest 132 are sleeping, that sounds a bit wierd [03:14] !openbsd [03:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about openbsd [03:14] lws also delete line 12 to line 18 [03:14] fearful, yes thats normal [03:14] keres: you start screen in a terminal, open irssi, close the terminal, and then you can use screen to get irssi back [03:14] usser, ok thanks [03:14] sveakex: oh, i'm looking so there's really no way to exit out of the program unless you are root [03:14] roadrock it doesn't matter which sudo command I run :) [03:14] n8tuserf so if i understand you. i'd have to setup the ubuntu box to act like a router. So then I'd have modem<=>ubuntu(1st router)<=>linksys (2nd router) <=>pc desktops [03:15] keres: well just have different accounts [03:15] :P [03:15] Mox`: pastebin your /etc/hosts [03:15] nt8userf: I put those manual lines in there to fix NetworkManager mucking with the services. My interfaces config is fine. It's been working for a year. [03:15] dontbestupid -> yes, like that [03:15] KDE 4 wont work with 64bit? [03:15] redvamp128: it won't work haha gnome-session won't load, it says it can't load the display and i don't know when to push ESC to run Repair [03:15] keres: running a GUI application as root won't prevent people from closing it... [03:15] Would i notice any speed improvement switching to 64-bit intrepid? Are there any major caveats? [03:15] keres: gnome has a switch user function [03:15] redvamp128: keep in mind im running 8.04 [03:15] sveakex: im well aware of that [03:15] Hey, let's say I create a crontab. How can I reference that in future when I want to edit it from command line? [03:15] akorn: like right after you turn the machine on during/grub load ( i am running that as well) [03:15] keres: except of course they can't kill it from the terminal unless they are also root [03:15] n8tuserf thanks for the help, appreciate it [03:15] Flynsarmy: probably not, and not really. Intrepid 64-bit has fixed most of the flash/driver/etc. problems. [03:16] crazyryan_a, crontab -e [03:16] lws -> thats an odd way of config i have not seen before, but if you claim it works for you, i can not dispute that, [03:16] darkhelmetlive: so there's no shell script you could write to restart the application if it gets exited out of? [03:16] oh i thoguht it woulda been after it goes thru the grub menu where i choose between ubuntu's different kernels? [03:16] n8tuserf: It does work, and running /etc/init.d/networking start after boot causes all my interfaces to load. [03:16] keres: well yes, but as already suggested, try irssi + screen. it's what i'm using right now [03:16] keres, sure you could do that [03:16] keres: using that feature may seem usefull, having different accounts [03:17] redvamp128: oh i thoguht it woulda been after it goes thru the grub menu where i choose between ubuntu's different kernels? [03:17] lws if it loads and works, then perhaps I mis-understood the issue which what again? [03:17] n8tuserf: I don't think the inserv stuff is working because of the ifupdown depend. Maybe if i just delete that from the dependencies it will work === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [03:17] you just detach the screen session and the terminal keeps running and hence irssi keeps running. so you can close the terminal, and come back to it later [03:17] sveakex: once again i choose to have only one account :/ [03:17] keres: bad choice :P [03:17] n8tuserf: I disabled NetworkManager so that it wouldn't ruin my resolv.conf file after pppoe sets it up. But now my interfaces don't load at startup [03:17] rww, what're the advantages of the 64-bit version if not speed? [03:17] akorn: unless you can edit your menu.lst and comment out the hidemenu with #hidemenu [03:18] lws: use wicd instead of network manager [03:18] keres: there is no way for you to run a program as a non-root user that can't be terminated by that non-root user. [03:18] sveakex: what is that? [03:18] lws: it's like network manager but better [03:18] redvamp128: well it shows a list because i have windows on another partition (which isn't loading either believe it or not haha) [03:18] lws resolv.conf can be re-written depending on your dhclient or perhaps maybe with how you config your ppp also [03:18] sveakex: I don't need any networkManager. I've been configuring my interfaces file since Debian 2.0 [03:18] lws: i use it to handle my network, but i don't know if it supports pppoe [03:18] rww: if i run a program as root can a non-root user use the program but not exit out of it? [03:18] Ummm [03:18] 64 bit is normal evolution [03:19] All I want is something to run the auto line from my interfaces file *sigh* [03:19] lws, you dont have to disable network manager in order for your dns server settings to stay put [03:19] for HD streams and such [03:19] lws, just edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [03:19] The apt-get package mysql-server doesn't come with the mysql C headers, anyone know what package that is in? [03:19] usser: ??? [03:19] keres: it depends on the program. not irssi, no. [03:19] lws: you can have a script which load the interfaces [03:19] rww: xchat? [03:19] lws, what gets screwed up in /etc/resolv.conf? [03:19] akorn: there should be an option of recovery mode [03:20] does ubuntu contain any nice packagings of vnc that would be suitable for running a desktop app on the web? [03:20] lws and also looking at the man pages of interfaces, you way of doing iface ath0 inet manual is not even mentioned,.. manual? an undocumented feature? [03:20] usser: my ppp stuff setups up resolv.conf and NetworkManager is apparently overwriting it occasionally with nothing. [03:20] redvamp128: not on the disc, but when i boot off my hard drive right is what you mean? [03:20] Flynsarmy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=368607 [03:20] Hi, I installed hplip by downloading via hp's website instead of the package manager, and now that process is constantly taking up 60-80% of my cpu? how can I remove this hplip? [03:20] i'm looking for something a little prettier and simpler to configure than 'tightvncserver :1 -optionsblahblah' [03:20] The apt-get package mysql-server doesn't come with the mysql C headers, anyone know what package that is in? [03:20] akorn: yes from your grubmenu [03:20] n8tuserf: there is a manual method in the man page. [03:20] a nicer web interface would be useful too.. i'm interested in anything flash-based rather than java-based [03:21] n8tuserf: man interfaces -> "The manual Method" [03:21] redvamp128: oh yea wow im dumb, but it's all text based isn't it? so what would i do when i reach it? [03:21] lws but not the way you have done it, [03:21] lws: disable nm and have some sort script which loads your interfaces? [03:21] n8tuserf: What? [03:21] can i configure networkmanager to use different dhclient.conf's for different interfaces [03:21] n8tuserf: what do you mean the way I've done it? How's it supposed to be done? [03:21] lws man interfaces again and show me your style of iface ath0 inet manual [03:22] is there a mathematica for Linux? [03:22] lws, you can add stuff to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf, like prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1; [03:22] lws, just set it to one of the public dns servers like opendns [03:22] turtle_: octave is what you want i believe [03:22] turtle_: well, that's matlab compatible stuff.... [03:22] ok,thanks [03:23] n8tuserf: My Method? it's only a "manual" in the method section of an interface definition. That is not different any other way [03:23] akorn: when you get there-- try the following-- sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop (if that does not work) then I would suggest trying this-- sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop (that way you will have an XFCE working to fix your ubuntu) then you can later remove the xubuntu [03:23] is there a way to delete all your message queues at the same time ? [03:23] sveakex, hmm a good directory to place firewall script and so on? :O [03:23] usser: Bleh [03:23] usser: NetworkManager is annoying period. [03:23] lws, whatever is in resolv.conf doesnt have to be connection specific you can override whatever ppp gets from the provider. [03:23] lws, ok :) [03:23] usser: thanks for the hint though. [03:23] lws no samples at all like you did, but again am not disputing that it works for you, i have not seen that kind of configurations.. [03:23] usser: true, but there's less latency from my ISP [03:23] redvamp128: yea i was considering either that or the KDE desktop makes sense, sorry im being quite a noob right now haha thanks a lot [03:24] n8tuserf: look under iface options. [03:24] lws, yea i guess [03:24] akorn: once you get into xubuntu-- then you should be able to use synaptic package manger to reinstall the ubuntu-desktop [03:24] /var/firewall ? :P it doesn't really matter aslong as you know where it is :) [03:24] sveakex heh oke, it's because I want to remove the script from /home [03:24] lws my eyes maybe deceiving me, idont see the same like your style [03:25] n8tuserf: Under the examples directory specified there are a few of them. [03:25] redvamp128: great i'll try that now thanks a lot! [03:25] Mox`: 127.0.0.1 hostname in /etc/hosts should be the same as the output of the command 'hostname' in a term. [03:25] Mox`: /etc/firewall make sense aswell since it configures your firewall [03:25] makes* [03:25] Mox`: correction, 127.0.1.1 hostname in /etc/hosts should be the same as the output of the command 'hostname' in a term. [03:25] sveakex I also have a vt server eg. :) [03:26] roadrock okay 2sec [03:26] lws under my /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/ those are scripts not config files [03:26] Hi. I have a problem with my wireless driver. When I first installed ubuntu, after running Update, a wireless driver was auto installed, and it worked. Now, i thought i can make my wireless get better signal if i used a windows driver with ndiswrapper. Problem is, none of the windows drivers work properly, and i can't get the original driver that worked back.. the one from Ubuntu .. i'm on Intrepid... I've been trying all day, looking everywhere .. any ide [03:26] as? [03:26] any ideas on how to get the original driver back. [03:26] roadrock, hmm in my hosts file, the hostname is a WAN ip? and not local? [03:27] n8tuserf: I'm not understanding what my 'style' is. you specify iface so: iface ath0 inet manual [03:27] akorn: and if that still does not work then you could try this page -- How to repair a broken Ubuntu Desktop installation — Dharwadkar's Home on the web [03:27] lws yes that style, i have not seen it before, nor documented in the man pages [03:27] n8t8userf: It's right there, that's the style for the interface specification, and manual is a method that is listed. [03:27] Mox`: what? :P [03:28] n8tuserf: You're confusing me :P [03:28] sveakex I have a vt server running on it, where should I place that? :) [03:28] lws all am saying is your style of iface ath0 inet manual is something thats not documented nor i have seen in man pages [03:29] Hi. I have a problem with my wireless driver. When I first installed ubuntu, after running Update, a wireless driver was auto installed, and it worked. Now, i thought i can make my wireless get better signal if i used a windows driver with ndiswrapper. Problem is, none of the windows drivers work properly, and i can't get the original driver that worked back.. the one from Ubuntu .. i'm on Intrepid... I've been trying all day, looking everywhere .. any ide [03:29] as on how to get the driver that was installed by ubuntu on the first update? [03:29] n8tuserf: Are you talking about "manual" or ath0, or what? Because iface inet manual *is* in the man page. I'm looking at it right now. [03:29] Mox`: I need a pastebin, 127.0.0.1 can have that, 2nd line 127.0.1.1 should be actual hostname [03:29] Mox`: /home maybe? there is a lot of space on home [03:29] n8tuserf: No example is given for it, but it manul is a "method" under the "INET ADDRES FAMILY" type [03:29] lws can you kindly pm me that portion of the man pages? [03:29] Mox`: you don't want / to run out of space [03:29] sveakex hehe no :] I think i'll put it in /opt :) [03:30] I am trying to install a script for irssi, and the page tells me to put them into ~/.irssi/scripts/ , but I can't find the dir. [03:30] Mox`: that works aswell, but keep in mind you don't want / to get full [03:30] :) [03:30] Platypus-irssi: just make the directory and put them there. [03:30] I read drinking is bad for you so I gave up reading. [03:30] n8tuserf: Alright, hang on. [03:30] Platypus-irssi: create it [03:31] wrong chan, sorry. [03:31] sveakex ye, but I have 30gb, what should fill / ? [03:31] Platypus-irssi, mkdir ~/.irssi/scripts [03:31] Mox`: nu clue, my / got filled up somehow, but i am running a desktop computer :P [03:31] n8tuserf: I don't feel like reading the specification for the iface stanza. But can we agree it goes iface ? [03:31] no* [03:31] sveakex ye oke :) hehe [03:32] sveakex log files maybe? [03:32] n8tuserf: If you agree that is how the iface stanza works, search for manual method on this page: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/en/man5/interfaces.5.html [03:32] lws okay i agree with you, am not even disputing its not working, im just saying i have not seen it before [03:32] Mox`: very possible, but i might have turned the syslog off... :P [03:32] n8tuserf: If you scroll up you'll see manual is specified under the "inet" address family allowed methods. [03:32] sveakex hehe oke :) [03:33] I have this stupid popped up window with half a filled progress bar, and something that looks like a mine above it [03:33] anyone know wtf this is [03:33] in gnome [03:33] lws and its says no options but you have options of up .... so am perplexed, anyhow if it works for you, thats cool [03:33] n8tuserf: Oh. [03:33] !splash [03:33] To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [03:33] n8tuserf: If you'll notice "up" is not an method option at all. [03:33] Mox`: yeah but opt or var shoud work [03:34] Hi. I have a problem with my wireless driver. When I first installed ubuntu, after running Update, a wireless driver was auto installed, and it worked. Now, i thought i can make my wireless get better signal if i used a windows driver with ndiswrapper. Problem is, none of the windows drivers work properly, and i can't get the original driver that worked back.. the one from Ubuntu .. i'm on Intrepid... I've been trying all day, looking everywhere .. any ide [03:34] as on how to get the driver that was installed by ubuntu on the first update? [03:34] Mox`: well of course they work but i meant it makes sense [03:34] scunizi: I didn't get any errors, but I can't see any new folders in the root dir [03:34] n8tuserf: Read the text below the manual method about the "Up and down commands" [03:35] mishu: ndiswrapper is your last resort :P [03:35] n8tuserf: I agree though, the interfaces man page is SEVERELY lacking. [03:35] n8tuserf: I removed the depend on the ifupdown service in networking. I'm going to reboot to try it. BRB [03:35] Platypus-irssi, any directory that begins with a period ".".. is hidden.. ls -a will list all directories even hidden ones.. or you could just do cd ~/.irssi [03:35] sveakex: u didn't understand .. the diver ubuntu genericly had, worked. but i don't know how to get it back on now [03:35] Platypus-irssi, then ls to list what's there. [03:35] sveakex :) [03:36] lws am always open to learning new things everyday, i learned something new.. [03:36] * GreeenEyes Saluda -> Said HI [03:36] mishu: you can start with removing ndiswrapper [03:36] why is the disk usage analyzer so inaccurate? [03:36] mishu: if the original driver is still on there it might work afterwards after a reboot [03:36] yea, i did .. but where do i look for the ubuntu wlan dirver, and how do i install it ? :) [03:36] I have a popup window that' [03:37] nope .. i tried uninstalling and rebooting [03:37] not working [03:37] mishu: reinstall the driver [03:37] I have a popup window that's GTK looking, it has half a filled progress bar, and something that looks like a mine above it, anyone have any clues on how I can get it to go away? [03:37] DAAAA, UNA MINA NO HAY? [03:37] mishu: synaptic is able to install a lot of things, press alt f2 and do gksudo synaptic [03:38] Mox`: :) [03:38] Can anyone tell me where i can find the default ubuntu intrepid wireless driver ? [03:38] scunizi: looks like it kinda worked, how do I move a file from desktop into that folder now? probably need to do it in text because as you said, folder is hidden [03:38] sveakex, why bring up synaptic for mishu that way .. when system>admin>synaptic works just the same === Guest73868 is now known as zenlunatic [03:38] what language would i use to build a gui for mdadm? [03:39] it was gnome-power-manager [03:39] it is on the Desktop now [03:39] I'm trying to get a ide to usb device to work in linux. when I plug it into the computer, the drive spins up, but nothing seems to be recognized, and no new device shows up in fdisk. Is there something else I might need to do to enable it? [03:39] Platypus-irssi, you would mv ~/Desktop/ ~/.irssi/scripts/ [03:39] scunizi: because i haven't used ubuntu since december 07 [03:39] The apt-get package mysql-server doesn't come with the mysql C headers, anyone know what package that is in? [03:39] scunizi: and because i would never remember that long path if i used ubuntu [03:39] sveakex, bit rusty huh.. same place it's always been :) [03:39] Gargantua: you might have luck at #mysql [03:40] scunizi: i always everything from a prompt, i don't like menues [03:40] Can anyone tell me where i can find the default ubuntu intrepid wireless driver ? [03:40] prince_jammys, nope, I asked there already. [03:40] Not to mention this is a package question. [03:40] mishu: what card do you have? [03:40] sveakex, don't blame you.. which begs the question how come you didn't just recommend aptitude? [03:41] scunizi: it worked, thanks for the help [03:41] how do i change the usplash screen? [03:41] Platypus-irssi, cool.. what script were you trying to install? [03:41] sveakex: realtek ...and stop arguing about synaptic guys, i know how to use it, aptitude and everything .. i just need to know where i can find the damn generic driver [03:42] mishu: calm down, please [03:42] scunizi: just a test-scipt for now, so many scripts for irssi it will take an hour atleast to browse them all, but I'm confident that I will find something usefull there :) [03:42] scunizi: clicking is easier for a lot of people [03:43] tritium: i'm calm, sorry if the way i wrote seemed anxious [03:43] Gargantua: [03:43] ${OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY} [03:43] ${OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY} [03:43] strebor: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:43] bah, sorry [03:43] Platypus-irssi, couple of things.. have you checked out using screen with irssi and other theme's? screen works great and if you know how to split it you can use irssi in the top and elinks or mutt or terminal in the bottom [03:44] Gargantua: i meant have you tried libmysqlclient-dev? [03:44] mishu: do you know which driver you're referring to? Perhaps the name of the chipset, or the kernel module? [03:44] mishu: which model? [03:44] hello all [03:44] bomzaiya: hello [03:44] I need support about ubuntu 8.10, firewire and external HDD [03:45] tritium: from what i understood, ubuntu ships with a generic wireless driver ... i don't actually know the name of it (the one that worked) cause it auto installed on first update after i installed ubuntu [03:45] sveakexx: realtek RT8187B... i got the original windows drivers, tried all of them with ndiswrapper .. none working properly [03:45] redvamp128: any idea how i can download the files i'd install in recovery? [03:45] mishu: there are various drivers, depending on which hardware you have [03:45] mishu, missed what kind of driver it is but ubuntu-restricted-extras carries the atheros driver. [03:46] redvamp128: it's not working when i try says it can't fetch the files needed...even tho i have my modem connected directly... === Qtpaxa2 is now known as Qtpaxa [03:46] i moved one of my windows way passed my desktop border and now i cant see it to move in back within my desktop window...what do i do? [03:46] mishu: for example, a kernel module named rtl8187 [03:46] tritium: is that in synaptic ? [03:46] firewire problem [03:46] I'll install it and see strebor. [03:47] Need help! [03:47] I have an ext hdd [03:47] help! [03:48] I partiioned 4 drives [03:48] The file is /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8187.ko, which is part of the linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic package. You should already have it installed.

[03:49] hi all [03:49] Hi SingAlong [03:49] Then I use this HDD [03:49] with Debian [03:49] hey all [03:49] akorn: do you happen to remember all what you did-- uninstalled/reinstalled also -- then ran autoremove- if I get this right [03:49] mishu: then reinstall that package [03:49] Debian, Mac, Windows, I got no problem [03:50] if i have a software raid5 and I want to re-install ubuntu and wipe out the / partition but keep /home, is there anything to be aware of during re-installation? [03:50] But with ubuntu 8.10 [03:50] I wrote a bluetooth app that communicates with my phone via python in ubuntu but seems like like the data is sent repeatedly. I connect via sockets [03:50] My files are lost!!!! [03:50] tritium, that's exactly what i'm doing now.. i just maked it for reinstallation [03:50] tritium: if this works, thanks a lot [03:50] mishu: sure [03:50] akorn: is the system connected and at a prompt now? [03:51] redvamp128: im in the live cd right now [03:52] is there a command line program to find out what the default printer is for a user ? [03:52] tritium, dunno yet if it worked, but have to restart .. so bye, thanks again. [03:52] what channel do I join for programming? [03:52] redvamp128: i know i just installed ubuntu, then installed updates so it updates the kernel...i uninstalled alsa and reinstalled it via terminal, then it said i can autoremove some kernel file (not sure what it was) and i ran autoremove [03:53] redvamp128: only reason im going thru all this is because i ahve some work i dont feel like losing, i might just reinstall the OS :S [03:53] akorn: you should be able to if you get a prompt -- to get network to work-- use the sudo ifup eth0 [03:53] baz: i think it will be fine. you will have to reinstall raid support once you have ubuntu reinstalled. [03:53] Should I learn C or C++? does all C work in C++? [03:53] baz: just dont change the partition layout from the prior install === edson is now known as orochimaru [03:54] akorn: then see if you are online by ifconfig [03:54] _VIM_ in order to edit AVCHD (high definition video) I only find ImageMixer 3 tool for windows (coming with the Canon Vixia HG20) - it seem that the editor works - so far I am not aware about any high definition choice in linux based system (sadly even a player is not yet ready to work with high def video formats) [03:54] redvamp128: so when im at prompt i type in " sudo ifup eth0 " it should connect? [03:54] JPSman: no, in practice, they are very different languages [03:54] akorn: once you get it online-- then you should be able to sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop === orochimaru is now known as edson [03:55] akorn: yes but you may have to sudo ifdown eth0 (then the sudo ifup eth0) [03:55] redvamp128: okay i hope this works haha [03:55] Who knew firewire? need to talk [03:56] akorn: unless someone knows an easier way-- unless you could try -- sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [03:58] akorn [03:59] Wow, lots of people in here [03:59] yes have fun [04:00] I have a problem with my new Ubuntu box, it has 4 broken packages. Synaptic claims it fixes them, but they're staying broken. [04:00] fix then my ubuntu is broken too [04:01] you have ubuntu [04:01] ls [04:01] dir [04:01] Is there a way to check the integrity of ALL the files? I'm thinking it may be a dirty dvd reader [04:01] . [04:01] test [04:01] Does anyone here have the answers to the 10 minute mind test at themindquiz.com ? [04:02] They wont give me my results without giving them my cell number [04:02] jasong: in terminal do " sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade " and see if that fixes ot [04:02] it's so frustrating that they don't ask you till after [04:02] hi [04:02] hi [04:02] ubuntu is the best site [04:02] where does aptitude download the .deb packages to? [04:03] i like that [04:03] Melik`, /var/cache/apt [04:03] is there a channel for server? [04:03] and me too [04:03] this is [04:03] joejc: #ubuntu-server [04:03] usser, after it finishes installing can i remove these .deb files? [04:03] as i really dont need them anymore? [04:03] i confused [04:03] as well [04:03] Melik`, yes there's a command to do that [04:03] Melik`, sudo apt-get clean [04:03] wow [04:03] i like that [04:03] i see [04:03] redvamp128: man i owe you [04:03] and me too [04:04] ubuntu in my machine [04:04] akorn: which one fixed it? [04:04] redvamp128: had to use the --force option but it worked thanks SO MUCH ! [04:04] akorn: the force sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [04:04] this is chat for unbutu? [04:04] redvamp128: i reinstalled ubuntu-desktop using the sudo ifdown --force eth0 and then ifup === unknown_ is now known as K_Passaris [04:04] redvamp128: then just sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [04:04] sorry my question isn't about linux, i just figured someone in here might be just as pissed as I am and might've figured something out [04:04] unknown_: according to the /topic, it is the official support channel for ubuntu [04:05] yeh [04:05] akorn: you must have autoremoved a package it needed. [04:05] where i can find the history of ubuntu [04:05] all the history [04:05] redvamp128: yea i never use the autoremove always get bad vibes haha i dont know why it would tell me i dont need those packages if i do...haha [04:05] i have a questio [04:05] can ask ? [04:05] yes [04:05] which is the command ssh Portuale close to 22? [04:06] K_Passaris: you don't need to have permission to ask questions [04:06] broken package dude here: it keeps telling me to use sudo apt-get -f install , but that doesn't do anything except generate the error in a different way [04:06] !ask | K_Passaris [04:06] K_Passaris: 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. :-) [04:06] where i can find the history [04:06] redvamp128: you really saved me a big hassle though thanks so much [04:06] of ubuntu [04:06] siteneza: what kind of history are you looking for exactly? [04:06] testing [04:07] siteneza, here? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu [04:07] what people use ubuntu and the mening of ubuntu. [04:07] hey all, i need a favor what is the best music player for ubuntu. i was using rythem box i loved it. tried out songbird hated it. now im using exaile...not so bad i like [04:07] siteneza: This question might be better asked in #ubuntu-offtopic [04:07] siteneza: there is no list anywhere of all the people that use it [04:07] I say to me how someone close ssh Portuale 22 [04:08] K_Passaris: are you trying to close port 22? [04:08] yes [04:08] K_Passaris: just stop ssh [04:08] K_Passaris: using sudo invoke-rc.d ssh stop [04:09] unko, I found that rhythmbox was the best. KDE's Amarok is pretty good, but I found the older version had more functionality than the latest one. [04:09] Could someone give me a webpage or search terms on dealing with stubbornly broken packages? [04:09] K_Passaris: if you don't want it so start automatically anymore you may also want to do sudo update-rc.d -f ssh remove [04:09] sudo invoke-rc.d ssh stop [04:09] having trouble opening synaptic package manager. error message says I should use 'dpkg --configure -a' . I tried that in the terminal. It said I need to be super user. now what? [04:09] is work [04:09] thanks [04:09] resistol, hmm rythem box dosn't have alot of plugins tho. and i hate armarok [04:09] strebor, where would I expect to find the headers after I installed that package? [04:09] squarepeg, type su - [04:09] /usr/share/mysql has no include/ [04:10] then enter password [04:10] Gargantua, /usr/include [04:10] squarepeg: put 'sudo' before the dpkg command [04:10] jasong: you could if you know the package name- use packages -- Ubuntu -- Ubuntu Packages Search that will download a .deb then install using the .deb [04:10] anyone else recommend any nice music players? [04:10] be careful though, superuser is dangerous if you keep it around without thinking about it [04:10] is kernel 2.6.28 out yet? [04:10] unko, audacious is a really nice minimalistic winamp like player [04:10] anybody knows about rsync, cause i'm starting to wonder if i made in error in the path or whatever, Cause it take,s so long ?? [04:10] MrWizeGuy1983: it's been out for a long time, but it likely won't be in ubuntu until ubuntu 9.04 [04:10] MrWizeGuy1983, yes [04:10] ah, now it's there, thanks usser / strebor [04:11] usser, nah i like somthing with a nice gui not simple at all :] [04:11] thanks redvamp128, I'll try that [04:11] MrWizeGuy1983: you are able to build it yourself, if you choose to. [04:11] usser there's supposed to be an intel driver fix in that kernel, do you know if they did it? [04:11] anyothers? i heard banshee was nice never tried it tho [04:11] MrWizeGuy1983: www.kernel.org has the current release build. [04:11] MrWizeGuy1983, fix for what? [04:11] quit [04:11] exit [04:11] MrWizeGuy1983, whats the problem with intel driver? [04:11] ok my compiz is borked. Machine worked perfectly. Hibernated. Started up into wrong boot up choice (a Xen startup kernel - why does it always mess this up every time there's an update?). Quickly rebooted, chose proper boot up option, no hibernate recovery and no window effects. Even restored compiz profile to no avail. Ugh. [04:11] Gargantua: that's alright [04:11] usser it's supposed to fix the G45 intel video problem [04:12] why would the system monitor not show my other cores? [04:12] MrWizeGuy1983, is that the one that they licensed from somebody else? [04:12] not sure honestly, but i heard it was a bug in the kernel [04:12] prince_jammys: thanks a lot [04:12] Turtle_, happens sometimes. do cat /proc/cpuinfo. how many processors it lists? [04:13] Gargantua: remember you can also try packages.ubuntu.com e.g. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=mysql.h&mode=exactfilename&suite=intrepid&arch=any [04:13] when loading the latest intel drivers on the G45 the screen is totally blank, have to use mesa drivers [04:13] ussr: it list one, i have 4 [04:13] Wow I didn't know that, I usually use apt-cache, which doesn't tell much about the content of the package, thanks. [04:13] maybe in the bios? [04:13] squarepeg: welcome. sudo allows you to run commands as superuser. [04:13] MrWizeGuy1983, i wouldn't know sorry [04:14] thanks for trying usser [04:14] i've been trying to fix that for my friend for 2 months, there's not even a fix online [04:14] Turtle_, really just one? can you pastebin the results of cat /proc/cpuinfo? [04:14] lots of reports of the issue, no fix [04:14] "Desktop effects could not be enabled." What is wrong??

[04:34] kriel: you could nuke the post remove script [04:34] kriel: there might be a way to force the removal with dpkg too, im not sure [04:35] Maggie, the command should be /etc/init.d/kdm restart [04:35] rrplay : i got this output "http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/123131/" [04:35] Maggie, for gnome ; /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:36] danbhfive: can you elaborate on 'nuke the post remove script'?

[04:42] kriel: its just the script that was failing that dpkg was trying to run when it was removing that package. Deleting it, dpkg just removes the package without running the script. It might leave your system messed up a bit, but its better than where you were at I suppose [04:42] ScottG489: yes, the gtk+ file chooser [04:42] yes [04:42] ScottG489: find the folder you want to add and right mouse click on it .. you'll see the right selectionin the menu [04:42] Dorobo18jp: pastebin your output of xorg.conf [04:42] any app will work [04:42] Dorobo18jp: its in your /etc/X11 dir [04:42] danbhfive: fair enough.

[05:28] hotbabysex1: yeah, read what it says [05:28] anyone know y my lib button don't work before i suspend the machine to ram ? [05:28] and how do it make kubuntu read the sleep and hibernate button work on my laptop? [05:28] hotbabysex1, try the firmware first, not the ndiswrapper first. [05:28] ndiswrapper is a last resort, not a first resort. [05:28] hey guys i have grub installed on a partition sda3. but i want to install grub on the harddrive root so its booted first by the bois. whats the command??? [05:28] i tryed grub-instal /dev/sda [05:29] waylandbill [05:29] installing firmware [05:29] hotbabysex1: go to step one and do the things from there, and use some common sense before you execute the commands, not all computers are the same [05:29] i just finished installing firmware [05:29] waylandbill u there? [05:29] Ubuntu/Xine/VLC/whatever the underlying library is seems to be *extremely* sensitive to slightly dirty/scratched DVDs that play just fine in the DVD player out in my living room. Any way to make it less paranoid about scratches, even at the expense of slightly glitched frames? [05:29] yes [05:30] i installed as you said [05:30] what is next? [05:31] Besides, of course, asking Netflix to send me a less scratched CD (in which case I'm never going to be able to watch my movie, because it just won't happen) [05:31] I'm having trouble finding how to set up an internet connection in virtual box, does anyone know how to do this? [05:31] I figured out why I wasn't getting compiz from earlier - it was booting into a new menu.1st choice of server kernel. my ibex has like 20 menu choices, half xen couple of servers and completely wrong default choice. borks everything if there's a power outage. Why does ubuntu do this with updates and not know which should be default? [05:31] hey, how do you switch from the KDm login to the GDM login? [05:31] I know it's not supposed to be that hard. I'm either spacing, or just being downright retarded. [05:32] hotbabysex1, you can 'modprobe -r b43 && modprobe b43' and the card will activate if it is supported by the b43 firmware. If not, then you will need to download a windows driver from somewhere as the next step. Most likely from the laptop manufacturer. [05:32] you have to shutdown the vm, then go into settings, then network tab [05:32] ImSad: I use the "PCnet+FAST III (host interface, Intel(R) Wifi Link 5100 AGN)" option. [05:32] Vista host, Ubuntu gues. [05:32] module b43 not found [05:33] does grub menu start at 0 or 1 for choosing default? [05:33] is it hard to mount and read/write on an os x drive ? [05:33] tripps: 0 is first [05:33] when you are connected on your wireless the info on the network your connected to will be saved somewhere ...right and does anybody know what files that is [05:33] trips like first hard drive first partition is 0,0 [05:33] does anyone know why running sudo chown root:writetodisk /media/sdb1 followed by sudo chmod 775 /media/sdb1 does not change anything [05:33] felix: o_o [05:34] is there just a button i press? lmao [05:34] if i run ls -l /media i still see root:root for sdb1 [05:34] ImSad: Is the VM running? [05:34] how do you sitch from the KDM login screen to the GDM login screen? [05:34] yeah [05:34] It needs to not be running ot change the setting Im talking about. [05:34] ah [05:34] musikgoat|main, thanks. can I use an alternate human readable tag for default or does it only take numbers? My default needs to be 20 now, and it's a pain to scroll and count to figure it out [05:34] hi i opened the file in gedit and i could not save the file so any other means of opening the file [05:34] i cant figure this out for the life of me [05:35] Do you have to shut down IRC to shut down the guest? [05:35] dillinjah: what is sdb1? a spare data disk you want to use? [05:35] yes [05:35] what does this mean??? "Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... failed (this is not fatal)" [05:35] It's off. [05:35] trips, i only know referencing numbers [05:35] i want all users to have write access except for one [05:35] Ok, in Vbox interface [05:35] virtualbox is open, but XP is shut down. [05:35] dillinjah, does the filesystem on the removable media have a filesystem that supports *nix permissions? [05:35] dillinjah: and it won't let you write to it under your normal logon? [05:35] peterson, open gedit with gksudo gedit [05:35] Make sure you have your guest highlighted, then go to "settings" button [05:35] tripps: what section? [05:36] it will let me write, i have created a group called writetodisk and added users I want to have write access === jksz_ is now known as mattsz [05:36] hi folks, my gnome-app-install was with two languages, one for list of programs, and other for the program, them i removed all the content of /var/cache/app-install, and fixed than language problem, but my gnome-app-install is really slow to load, how can i "rebuild" this cache? [05:36] i installed the ntfs application so that I can write to it [05:36] so I can write to it fine [05:36] That should open a dialog for JUST that VM. On the left there wll be a section for "Network" [05:36] i just want to limit write access to a specific user [05:36] yes. [05:36] Evolution or Thunderbird? [05:36] so I am excluding that user from the group [05:36] dillinjah: what user? [05:36] musikgoat|main, not following. i currently have 39 kernel booting options. so every time I upgrade I have to go through and count which one to use. seems kinda silly [05:36] thooser is the name of the user [05:37] i did not add him to writetodisk group [05:37] What would be the "correct" way to limit the amount of memory/CPU a process in the terminal can use? [05:37] So now on Adapter 1 tab [05:37] how do i make linux not try to lead a driver for a particular usb device> [05:37] i couldnt figure out any way of limiting write access to one specific user or group [05:37] hello [05:37] (As opposed to some off hack.) [05:37] Yes. [05:37] right now everyone can write to it [05:37] tripps, seems silly to have 39 kernels? [05:37] tripps: sorry, i thought you were referring to hard drive mapping [05:37] make sure "enable network adapter" is clicked [05:37] yep. [05:37] hi ! [05:37] i want to prevent user "thooser" from being able to delete files [05:37] dillinjah, chmod'ing won't help on an ntfs filesystem. You have to mount with write permission mask set. [05:37] tripps: do you want that many? you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and drop it to 2 === sanjud is now known as n8tuser [05:38] is it possible to switch from the KDM login screen to the GDM login screen? I have both installed already... [05:38] has anybody packaged evolution 2.24.5 for intrepid yet ? [05:38] dillinjah: if you exclude that user they can't write to it.. you include the user and as a result exclude everyone else. sudo chown /media/sdb1 then sudo chomod 744 /media/sdb1 [05:38] then choose one of them.. heh. Like I said, I use Adapter Type: PCNET fastIII, and Attached To: Host interface [05:38] tripps: latest and one fall back [05:38] i have a dumb question.. im using e17 on top of ubuntu.. and well.. i cant found synaptic.. i cant use synaptic inside e17? [05:38] n2diy, yes. updates to kernels don't change the proper default choice in grub [05:38] None of hte other settings ever worked for me :/ [05:38] musikgoat|main, yes definitely will do that [05:38] I'm still having all sorts of problems with .3, mostly all new problems introduced by the switch to sqlite [05:38] yeah, i want to exclude the user so they cant write [05:38] it's already set up like that. [05:38] :/ [05:38] tripps: just remember after editing menu.lst to run update-grub [05:38] hi all [05:38] when you are connected on your wireless the info on the network your connected to will be saved somewhere ...right and does anybody know what files that is [05:38] tripps, it would be nice to disable kernel updates, I'm happy with the one I'm using. [05:39] tripps: as root [05:39] 5100 AGN highlghted under "Host interfaces"? [05:39] um, i dont really understand the whole mask thing [05:39] And "cable connected" is checked? [05:39] ok [05:39] dillinjah: then "you" own it with 744 permissions.. [05:39] And you have a MAC address showing for that piece of "hardware"? [05:40] morning all [05:40] yeah. [05:40] everything is all set up. [05:40] musikgoat|main, indeed. I was using grep '^title' /boot/grub/menu.lst | awk '{print NR-1":" $0}' to figure out which to use ;) [05:40] mhm [05:40] Ok, fire it up and see if it works :) [05:40] Or was it already all set that way? [05:40] tripps: ahh, just for fun :-P [05:40] i've got my wireless network and other neihbours as well detected but am unable to connect to my wifi [05:41] yeah, it was already set up. lol [05:41] how do you switch from KDM to GDM login screens [05:41] this is complicated [05:41] I dunno what's wrong. [05:41] jeez [05:41] dillinjah, this page explains masking in regard to mounting filesystems: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mounting-windows-partition-onto-ubuntu-linux/ [05:41] Ubuntu/Xine/VLC/whatever the underlying library is seems to be *extremely* sensitive to slightly dirty/scratched DVDs that play just fine in the DVD player out in my living room. Any way to make it less paranoid about scratches, even at the expense of slightly glitched frames? [05:41] ImSad: Would a firewall mess it up? [05:41] thank you [05:41] In the host or the guest maybe? [05:41] tripps, in your grub menu, I recommend keeping the most up-to-date kernel, its recovery mode, then the 2nd-most up-to-date kernel, its recovery mode, and memtest [05:41] What's the difference between i386 and i586? Both are 32-bit, right? [05:42] tripps, and keep a backup of your menu.lst, just to be safe [05:42] corinth yes [05:42] McShane, that seems reasonable. I wonder how all my Xen kernel and server kernel options snuck in here along the way [05:42] dillinjah, ntfs isn't designed for linux in mind so it will be more complicated. Linux native filesystems are a breeze in linux naturally as windows filesystems are under windows. [05:42] how do I make the icons in my drop down menu smaller? [05:43] What's the difference, then? [05:43] tripps, well I'm not too familiar with Xen functionality (the virtualization software?), so I'd hang on to those too, if you use that [05:43] gotcha, so how is it working now that I can access it and everything [05:43] how do I change the login from KDM to GDM? [05:43] is it able to mount it, just not with the ability to do more advanced stuff? [05:44] because I can read and write to the hard disk fine, it just seems that the permissions cannot set, would this be because its ntfs? [05:44] i did install an application in ubuntu to allow me to write to the ntfs drive, but I guess maybe that there are still serious limitations, is this correct? [05:44] dillinjah, the mask is basically a default value for permisions since individual file permissions are not supported under ntfs. [05:45] is there an ncursors style cli apt-get program ? [05:45] hello everyone [05:45] ah I see, so I could set a default value for the drive and still keep it as ntfs? [05:45] dillinjah, no. the ntfs-3g driver can read-write safely these days. [05:45] ScoTTie: aptitude [05:45] beachwood maybe they would know how in #gnome? [05:45] jrib: thanks [05:46] the reading and writing is fine...but is the ntfs whats preventing me from using chmod on the drive... [05:46] i have to read the web page... [05:46] sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [05:46] dillinjah, right. you set the mask and it will apply to all the files on the drive (when mounted under linux) ... it doesn't apply to when you later mount under windows. [05:46] what is everyone's recommendation for setting up a git repo to manage a plesk web server? [05:46] E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.25 [05:46] sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [05:46] E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.25 [05:46] why? [05:46] on xchat how do you save channels to favs its not the same as on windows [05:46] hotbabysex1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:47] ah, okay [05:47] question: what does port 6969 do and why is it upnp opened on my router? [05:47] see, the real reason I wanted to do it was so that I could restrict a user connected by way of SFTP [05:47] dillinjah, if you need more advanced features, you should create a linux based file system which could be in addition to the ntfs one, since removable media supports partitioning just like internal media. [05:47] i want them to be able to read that disk but not delette files [05:47] on xchat how do you save channels to favs its not the same as on windows [05:48] ? [05:48] my ubuntu box is accessing port 6969 ut i have no idea why [05:48] but even [05:48] ok, [05:48] but if I wanted to eliminate that one user, you think that masking would work? [05:48] sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [05:48] E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.25 [05:48] by eliminate I mean prevent from being able to delete [05:48] ?? [05:48] whats a graphical python debugger in the respritories? [05:49] anyone? [05:49] so now I just need to figure out what mask setting to use for that drive [05:49] how do I change the icon size in drop down menus? [05:49] mount it using that mask === Guppee is now known as mcshane === mcshane is now known as McShane [05:50] i have a mobo with built in ati hd3200. when i use proprietary drivers my screen flickers with black bars in random places. any solutions? [05:50] dillinjah, restricting only one user isn't really possible. You'd have to restrict more than one user. You'd end up restricting everyone but the owner and/or everyone outside of a group. [05:50] ok, I would be willing to restrict everyone outside of the group [05:50] i created the group writetodisk [05:50] and added theusers I want to be abale to write to tit [05:50] and want to exclude everyone else [05:51] then you want to mount with the umask option. [05:51] hotbabysex1: apt-cache search linux-headers [05:51] ok, they use umask=0222, i assume I will have to figure out the correct mask, I do not know what that means rights now [05:52] hey whats the aus ubuntu channel? [05:52] !au [05:52] The Australian Local Community Team has channels here on Freenode. They are #ubuntu-au for technical discussion, and #ubuntu-au-chat for social chatter. [05:52] * aprilhare listens keenly [05:53] waylandbill, would fstab be the place to do it so that it automatically occurs at startup? [05:53] dillinjah, it's a mask of bits, with the lsb being execute and the next bits being write and read. there are 3 sets of bitmasks one for each of owner, group, and world [05:53] dillinjah, if that's what you want it to do then yes. [05:54] ah, i see, so I would use like umask=0775 === kom2tux is now known as wkzvytux [05:54] on xchat how do you save channels to favs its not the same as on windows [05:55] umask is the bits that are not set, so flip that to 0002. [05:55] Could someone please tell me how to compile source code into a statically-linked binary (so all libraries are included in the executable)? [05:56] Peddy, link to the .a, not the .so. [05:57] redline5653, right-click on the channel button at the bottom of the screen [05:57] waylandbill, how would I do that? I have a .tar.gz package of xterm and I want to compile a statically-linked exe :) [05:58] Peddy, static linking is considered a bad idea [05:58] Peddy, I didn't write xterm so I wouldn't know. You could see if it has a configure switch if it uses automake [05:58] Seveas, I'm doing it for an embedded system [05:58] especially on embedded systems it is a bad idea, it muches more space [05:59] waylandbill, I meant it isn't a single source code file compiled with gcc, it uses configure and a makefile. [05:59] how do I shrink my iconsss? [05:59] Seveas, I can't stick in the libraries manually (yet), I need xterm to have a look inside the filesystem. [05:59] Peddy, I don't know if it is going to save you much room especially if other programs share the libraries. You may end up using more space. [05:59] I'm trying to install the Flash 10 64bit alpha and I get "md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz [05:59] The Flash plugin is NOT installed. [05:59] " after running " sudo aptitude install nspluginwrapper flashplugin-nonfree" [05:59] How do I install OpenGL development files on Ubuntu?> [05:59] rayne_: what version of ubunut [06:00] 8.10 [06:00] Intrepid [06:00] rayne_: pastebin: apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree [06:00] Peddy, this *might* work: CFLAGS=-static LDFLAGS=-static ./configure [06:01] Thanks Seveas, I'll try that. [06:01] Peddy, If it is configurable with automake, then that's where I recommend looking. Other than that, you'll need to contact the project developers. They'll know how to do it. [06:01] jrib, http://pastebin.com/df365b0 [06:01] How do I install OpenGL development files on Ubuntu? [06:02] waylandbill, --enable-static or something similar isn't in the configure or make options, but I'm trying Seveas' method. [06:02] rayne_: adobe must have moved the tar.gz again then. Just download the tar.gz from adobe and drop libflashplayer.so in your ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [06:02] Peddy, if not in the config options, then Seveas may not work either. [06:03] It's looking hopeful, at the end of the config output it said 'testing if libfoo' is needed... [06:03] jrib, Thanks, trying now [06:03] hi [06:03] _VIM_ are you awake ? [06:04] Seveas, how can I install the binary to a set directory rather than /usr/bin? [06:04] Peddy, --prefix [06:05] ftab: libgl1-mesa-dev is one implementation of opengl's development files [06:05] hey i have a problem i get this error whenver i run package manger http://paste.ubuntu.com/123150/ [06:05] Please help [06:05] waylandbill, look like that worked. [06:05] why Mesa not Op-enGL on linux [06:05] :) [06:05] _VIM_ KDENLIvE can edit AVCHD (high definition format from Canon HG20) - Power to The PEOPLE ! [06:06] Peddy, of course it did. :-) [06:06] jrib, you have a linky by chance for that file? [06:06] waylandbill, thanks for your help :) the static didn't work, but I'm going to copy in all the libs to see if it works. [06:06] somethingclever, what version of ubuntu [06:06] waylandbill, I did sudo mount -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0002 /dev/sdb1 /media/blam but when I i do ls -l /media I have blam coming up as root root, and I can still delete from under that file [06:06] rayne_: nope, just go to download flash on adobe.com [06:06] bazhang, i run 8.10 [06:06] i mean under that user that I excluded [06:06] jrib, oh, so I am just downloading the whole flash player? [06:07] rayne_: the tar.gz, yes [06:07] jrib, I got it now, thanks. Extracting. [06:07] bazhang, any ideas whats goin on? [06:08] somethingclever, and where did that package come from; do you have a 3rd party repo in sources.list [06:08] bazhang, im not sure, should i disable all third party repos then slowly add them back in until the problem starts again? [06:09] dillinjah, sorry. I'm not sure what's up with that. Usually read-write is a good thing. I don't know if I've even tried restricting that way under ntfs in quite a while. [06:09] how can i enter ESC into a text with gedit? (like ^v in vi) [06:09] somethingclever, how about paste.ubuntu.com with sources.list === richard is now known as Guest6664 [06:09] gotcha. i should just convert the drive i guess [06:09] dillinjah, usually if I can't trust someone to not delete something they shouldn't, they don't get write access. :-) [06:09] well, i really only want it to get execute access i guess [06:09] i think i explained it wrong [06:10] jrib, The file goes in ./mozilla/extensions? [06:10] i want them to be able to access all the files in sub directories, just not delete anything [06:10] they dont need to be able to write [06:10] jrib, anything else or just put it in there? Or Do I need to create a new folder called 'plugins' [06:10] dillinjah, just mount it read-only then. [06:10] bazhang, http://paste.ubuntu.com/123152/ [06:10] rayne_: no, ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [06:10] rayne_: you need to create a new folder [06:10] dont i need execute in order to download from it? [06:11] dillinjah, no. just the ability to read from it [06:11] somethingclever, that seems to be a truncated sources.list [06:11] can ANYBODY help me shrink the icons in the applications drop down menu? [06:11] ok [06:11] jrib, once in the folder, do I need to run it? [06:11] bazhang, thats my list lol [06:11] rayne_: just restart firefox [06:11] so that would be 0003 or 0004? I just started learning this...yikes [06:12] if you are going to just mount r/o, don't both with the mask... just mount with -r [06:12] jrib, I restarted firefox, but still nothing [06:12] sounds good [06:12] I have a few partitions, and my main EXT3 partition starts at about 70% into the drive. I want to move it towards the beginning of the drive since there is less space and then make it larger. How would I go about doing that? [06:13] is there a way to create "live hdd" with liveUSB creating tool? [06:13] hello, how is everyone doing? [06:13] migihdh: Wouldn't a live hdd just be a regular install? [06:13] no [06:14] this would be livehdd [06:14] bazhang, so, whats up? [06:14] i don't want to install ubuntu [06:14] somethingclever, no idea where you got that package [06:14] jrib, Flash still not functioning, is there something else I was supposed to do? [06:14] migihdh, what are you trying to accomplish with that? make the filesystem not modifyable? [06:14] migihdh, you want to mount an ubuntu.iso? [06:15] rayne_: pastebin the contents of the "about:plugins" page when you visit it in firefox [06:15] migihdh, can't you just install it to the usb hdd and allow your bios to boot from the usb hdd? [06:15] bazhang, it was a deb file, but it didnt work, it was a printer driver. so how do i fix my system? [06:15] somethingclever, you installed it how [06:16] I want to have livecd image with the ability of saving configuration [06:16] migihdh, so a mounted iso with persistent features? [06:16] migihdh, that's the only solution I can think to us [06:16] use* [06:16] migihdh, just install ubuntu regularly, and carry it around with you, it'll boot [06:16] bazhang, DEB file! [06:16] somethingclever, sudo dpkg -i /path/to/downloaded/deb , put any error on paste.ubuntu.com === dreamnid_ is now known as dreamnid [06:17] bazhang: how to do it? I try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence but this doesn't work [06:17] somethingclever, ok; care to elaborate on how that was installed? using gdebi, or other [06:17] gdebi, yes [06:17] jrib, http://pastebin.com/d78c4f34d [06:17] migihdh, that is for flash sticks, not usb hdd [06:17] nickrud, deb file is gone [06:18] jrib, doesn't look like it is installed to me [06:18] I just got a new tv that I'm also using for my computer monitor. Ubuntu recognizes it as 1080p (1920x1080 (16:9)), but instead of giving me tons of screen real estate it just made my desktop larger [06:18] somethingclever, then try sudo dpkg -r /path/to/deb/file , if it fails you'll need the deb back [06:18] migihdh, just install it on a external hdd regularly. [06:18] one question wayland, do i remove the ,umask=0002 and add the -r to the end? [06:18] rayne_: pastebin « ls -l ~/.mozilla/plugins/ » including the command [06:18] Can you grow a partition to the left? [06:18] nickrud, if fails on ANY deb file, so, could it be any deb file? [06:18] Templar_Xion, nope [06:18] dillinjah, oh. mounting into the fstab are ya? [06:19] somethingclever, no, the problem is with fax4100lpr [06:19] Instead of using a USB stick, you can use a file on your hard disk to store persistent information.. <- this is from that tutorial [06:19] How do I compile software in 32-bit, with the machine I'm compiling on being 64-bit? [06:19] usser: :< [06:19] alright, ill find it [06:19] Peddy, gcc -m32 [06:19] i was thinking about it, i am just trying to mount it right now as read only...but my syntax is wrong and it istellling me the resource is busy [06:19] somethingclever, until you get that one fixed, apt will refuse to do anything [06:19] migihdh, and what part of the tutorial are you stuck on? [06:19] Peddy, rxvt didnt work eh? [06:19] hello, can anyone tell me how to restart pulseaudio? i just kill -9ed it cuz sound wasn't working [06:19] jrib, http://pastebin.com/d463d65b8 [06:19] i havent gotten the ntfs drive to mount as read only yet [06:19] Using a Loopback File [06:20] usser, nope :/ [06:20] dillinjah, from command line you mount -r ... from fstab you put ro as one of the options [06:20] somethingclever, try running sudo dpkg -r fax4100lpr [06:20] rayne_: close firefox, run « ps -ef | grep firefox » [06:20] persistent doesn't work [06:20] migihdh, /msg ubottu iso [06:20] changes not saved [06:20] somethingclever, I had a bit of a brain fart on the exact command I gave earlier [06:20] usser, but I made some progress, I can now use qemu to very quickly simulate flashing the thing, so I can see how it works. [06:20] Peddy, what did it say, when u tried to run it? [06:20] usser, it just failed to open [06:20] Peddy, no error messages? [06:21] usser: Thanks. [06:21] jrib, okay. what do I do after that? [06:21] rayne_: also, what is the output of « uname -m » [06:21] Templar_Xion, no problem [06:21] okay so outside of fstab, if I was just in terminal, where would I put the r in......sudo mount -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0002 /dev/sdb1 /media/blam [06:21] bazhang: and how could mounting iso help me? 6 [06:21] and do i need to take the mask out? [06:21] ) [06:21] usser, no, because I was faking xterm as Firefox (one of the embedded programs), and it just didn't open... [06:21] nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu.com/123155/ [06:21] dillinjah, mount -t ntfs mounts read only by default, ntfs doesnt support writing [06:21] usser, wasn't there an environment variable or something for compiling 32-bit? because I want to use a configure and makefile to build. [06:21] gotcha [06:22] Peddy, yea $CFLAGS [06:22] dillinjah, yes. lose the mask. you don't need it. the -r comes after the mount. You can see the syntax in mount's man page along with all the supported options... "man mount" [06:22] jrib, http://pastebin.com/d3d96550 [06:22] Peddy, $CFLAGS="-O -static -m32" ./configure [06:22] usser, thank you [06:22] great, thank you wayland [06:22] ubuntu ibex seems like battery life is really poor;;;; is this really the case? [06:22] Peddy, err CFLAGS="-O -static -m32" ./configure sorry [06:22] somethingclever, yep, you need the deb. === Artanix is now known as |NS| [06:23] :) [06:23] arooni-mobile, I get 2.5 - 3 hours. I think it's average. [06:23] dillinjah, you dont need -r in your case at all [06:23] nickrud, im lookin for it online [06:23] waylandbill, maybe its cuz they changed battery icon; when its 50% it looks like it has nothing left [06:23] somethingclever, did you use alien to create this deb by any chance? [06:23] waylandbill, i have t61 [06:23] so I would have something like sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /media/blam2 [06:23] rayne_: ah ok. You're using 64 bit ubuntu, but you downloaded 32bit flash (the default). You have two options. You can use nspluginwrapper (which is what would have happened if flashplugin-nonfree worked) or you can download the beta 64bit flash from adobe [06:23] i need to read these man pages [06:24] this is complex [06:24] jrib, lol, so the one I just downloaded was the wrong version? [06:24] usser, it says 'C compiled cannot create executables', any idea what this mean? do I have to install 32-bit dev libraries or something? [06:24] rayne_: wrong architecture, yes [06:24] Peddy, it means you dont have a compiler installed :) sudo apt-get install build-essential [06:24] dillinjah, usser the -r is needed for read-only isn't it? [06:24] rayne_: but you can use it if you install nspluginwrapper [06:25] waylandbill, ntfs driver as opposed to ntfs-3g doesnt support writing to ntfs partitions [06:25] If i cant find it, then what? [06:25] does anybody know how I can make the terminal window transparent? [06:25] what wiould be the way to forward ip with two networking cards installed as eth0 to internet and eth1 goes to routher that makes wireless? Thank you. [06:25] usser, I think I may need 32-bit build-essential :P [06:25] usser, because of course I have regular build-essential installed [06:25] jrib, I am not seeing the 64bit one [06:25] nickrud, what if i cant find it? [06:25] Milk_Rulz , Edit > profile preferences [06:25] jrib, I was looking to try it out to see how it worked [06:25] Peddy, no you dont need 32 bit compiler for that [06:26] Peddy, can you run gcc on the terminal? [06:26] Milk_Rulz , then select transparent background, and set the transparency [06:26] usser, just 'gcc'? yes, I can [06:26] somethingclever, then fixing the problem needs someone more familiar with the packaging system than I am. [06:26] Peddy, yea gcc. does it work? [06:26] usser, I don't think it's been established that ntfs is being used in leiu of ntfs-3g. They were about to delete files so it's probably very likely that ntfs-3g is being used. [06:26] hello guys.. i need some one will help me....... i have dvd movie ... it wouldnt show movie ?? [06:26] Somethiingclever: worry about that if it happens? [06:26] usser, yep, I've used it a lot in the past, I'm 100% sure it's not a gcc installation problem [06:26] rayne_: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [06:26] jrib, It looks like on the x86 architecture is available from adobe's site [06:27] nickrud, damn, know anyone off hand? [06:27] waylandbill, well he pasted his mount command which was mount -t ntfs [06:27] taz_ it won't run in Totem? [06:27] somethingclever, sure, but they don't come here often at all ;( [06:27] quibbler, Thanks [06:27] afazel, thanks [06:27] afazel: totem ? [06:27] usser, I enter the CFLAGS variables and ./configure at the same time, right? [06:27] waylandbill, besides it'd be easier anyway to mount it with ntfs whose main feature is inability to write :) [06:27] Peddy, yea [06:27] somethingclever, that doesn't mean people that I don't know don't appear though [06:27] um, i can still delete [06:27] rayne_: they have a beta, it's up to you which you want to use. Personally, I use nspluginwrapper [06:27] taz_: applications, sound and video, movie player [06:27] * nickrud reads that triple negative again [06:28] sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /media/blam2 [06:28] nickrud, yeah, i get it [06:28] i ran that, it mounted [06:28] anyone help me with my package manger error??? [06:28] afazel: i will look at it [06:28] nickrud, thank you [06:28] but if I open it up I can delete files from within it [06:28] i dunno [06:28] usser, so this: CFLAGS="-O -static -m32" ./configure , right? [06:28] taz_, I used that to watch a dvd just last night, didn't take any special fiddling [06:28] maybe they remove ntfs altogether and use ntfs-3g exclusively now [06:28] Peddy, yea [06:29] i do have the ntfs-3g in my fstab [06:29] and thats how I guess I write to it [06:29] mplayer -video [06:29] jrib, just installed the 64bit, seems to be working great. [06:29] usser, removing the -m32 option configures sucessfully.l [06:29] rayne_: k [06:29] Heya Saludadierie! [06:29] Peddy, oh, weird [06:29] afazel: mplayer video ?? [06:29] i just want it mounted somewhere else where it cant delete, oh well [06:29] Peddy, i guess you do need 32bit libs [06:29] taz_, movie player and mplayer are 2 different programs [06:29] usser, yeah, is there a quick command to install 32-bit build-essential? I already have ia32-libs installed [06:30] taz_, movie player is totem, mplayer is mplayer, although it should play your dvd just fine as well [06:30] afazel: really how i will know ?? which one right one [06:30] Peddy, search for ia32-libs-dev or something similar [06:30] afazel: how i will find totem ? [06:30] taz_, you should be able to use either [06:30] afazel: i dont have totem [06:31] taz_, well totem should be installed already, but you can try sudo apt-get install totem-gstreamer [06:31] afazel: where i can download ?? [06:31] ntfs-3g is the default ntfs driver now anyway. doing a -t ntfs would use ntfs-3g. [06:31] usser, testing [06:31] afazel: ok [06:31] I have just upgraded my hardy to intrepid and there this a widget on desktop which says "cannot find component : folderview", I have seen it on a friend's desktop, it shows files in a specific folder. Any ideas? [06:31] taz_, and it will be called movie player under sounds and video [06:31] Peddy, ok [06:31] I have a standard ubuntu install and I want to install software from my Ubuntu UE dvd. How can I do this? [06:31] so would that mean I am out of luck? [06:32] is there a way of restricting the access through ssh? [06:32] dillinjah, try substituting ntfs-3g for ntfs in fstab [06:32] dillinjah, unmount your partition [06:32] its ntfs-3g in fstab [06:32] Chaorain -> mount your dvd and then search for the deb file you wanted then install it via dpkg -i === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:32] dillinjah, change it to ntfs [06:32] somethingclever, you might find it here: http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html [06:32] ok [06:32] I want my 1080p display to act as it would in windows, where the icons become smaller and the desktop real estate becomes larger. my colleagues tell me it should be automatic when setting 1920x1080, but it is not. Any suggestions? The google has been no help to me. [06:32] afazel: done with terminal [06:32] how to install opera? [06:33] taz_, yes, but you should be able to find it in synaptic just as easily if you're not comfortable with the terminal [06:33] dillinjah, and mount with this command sudo mount /dev/sdb2 [06:33] romi: http://www.opera.com/browser/download/ [06:33] afazel: that ok ... where synaptic ?

[06:35] double click on the .deb file [06:35] romi: it is a deb file ...just double click it [06:35] nickrud, but the Package name is different from the driver [06:35] afazel: ok i can see synaptic package manger [06:35] im trying out opera out myself [06:35] dillinjah, if that doesnt work try adding umask=004 like that /dev/sdb2 /media/blam ntfs umask=004 0 0 [06:35] ok i have double click on this [06:36] I've tried ogle, gxine, kmplayer, etc.. nothing works.

[07:49] travian_geek: just an a or an a followed by anything else [07:50] travian_geek: in real regular expressions the equivalent would be a.* [07:50] , disble boot screen first and try again [07:51] lstarnes, so if vill match all, at, an or just an a [07:51] travian_geek: it will match all of those [07:51] Incarus: How can I? I can't even get to the system. It just sits here on my newly installed boot screen saying it's loading. [07:52] , boot a live cd [07:52] I never go to enter my harddrive encryption password so I'm figuring that's what it's wait for...

I can't get a connection to the internet for some reason.

[08:39] moin [08:40] depape: then you'll need to build your own package or wait for a backport [08:40] depape: you could intall ext4 with the newest beta or rc? [08:40] <^law^> is anybody know how to install db2 UDB v8.1 fixpack 17? [08:40] jelly12gen: jaunty discussion is in #ubuntu+1 [08:40] jelly12gen: what is de cli [08:40] ikonia: i will try to build it, maybe it works [08:40] mayur: open a gnome-terminal [08:40] mayur: command line interface, in pther words console [08:41] jelly12gen: i did it in the terminal [08:41] ok [08:41] post the outpout [08:41] quibbler: yes, I only have one. [08:41] but i have to go, got college [08:41] ImSad: it attached to a cable modem [08:41] law: you could still try to convert your rpm to a deb, not sure that this would work though [08:41] Yes. [08:41] so one last question: is there a nice way to build the tar.gz source of the new driver as a package ? intregrate it in apt-get ? [08:42] depape: no - [08:42] jelly: i'll continue with mayur [08:42] ikonia: okay :/ [08:42] depape: check out the deb build instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com [08:42] TheLeader: ok good luck [08:42] i lov microsoft [08:42] to you too [08:42] mayur: dont flame here [08:43] jelly12gen: i m sorry guys [08:43] mayur: xD [08:43] Where can I find a description or tutorial of the Evolution Crash Detection? [08:43] lotsa nerds around here [08:43] Have a quick (and probably simple) linux question. When I apply chmod to something, it only lasts until my computer reboots. How would I get it to be permanent? [08:43] bullgard4: evolution site E? [08:43] bullgard4: evolution site ? [08:43] mayur: ok then, post ur output [08:43] ImSad: again then i'm stumped ...maybe try in the ubuntu forums [08:43] jelly12gen: damn kids [08:43] Pytlask: chaning the ownership is perm [08:43] mayur: and don't tell lies :P [08:43] Pytlask: It should normally be permanent...is something changing it on startup? [08:43] Well damn. [08:43] I've been trying for hours. [08:44] jelly12gen: i was serious [08:44] I guess I'm just screwed. [08:44] ikonia: I will do some more snooping using your suggestion. [08:44] jelly: you remind me of the bad teacher from harry potter 5 [08:44] what was her name..? [08:44] TheLeader: it's offtopic [08:44] ikonia: what to run with mdadm [08:45] interactive and rebuild did nothing [08:45] flixporty: you need to rebuild your array [08:45] ikonia/thrimeta: That's what I thought. I am trying to change /proc/acpi/ibm/light. Perhaps the fact that it is not a true file brings this about? [08:45] ikonia: yea i guess so [08:45] should i add the partiotion [08:45] or recreate [08:45] Pytlask: proc is not a file system - it's held in memory [08:45] the whol [08:45] ImSad: I'll look further and see what i can find..good luck [08:45] Pytlask: any chanes you make there will be removed and re-set at reboot [08:45] Thanks for trying. :/ [08:45] flixporty: you can try re-adding, but I don't think that will work [08:45] hi, got a question for you guys: [08:45] flixporty: I believe you'll need to rebuild [08:45] ikonia: ah, I see. So I would just want to set up a script to run on-login as root to apply the change? [08:45] mayur: ok run lspci | grep audio and post the output [08:46] I'm restoring a system from a backup i made, and i restored the /var folder [08:46] Pytlask: that's one way yes [08:46] which appears to have contained my list of installed packages in apt [08:46] but the thing is [08:46] those packages are not actually installed anymore [08:46] ikonia: Is there a better way you would suggest? [08:46] but apt is convinced they are [08:46] Pytlask: you may want to see if there is a config file/kernel parameter needed to set that [08:46] ikonia: how to rebuild [08:46] any way to get apt to figure out which packages are in fact installed, and which are not? [08:46] flixporty: same way you built [08:46] DinkyDogg: aptitude search isn't giving useful answers? [08:47] DinkyDogg: your apt database is corrupt [08:47] hi there again, ikonia [08:47] mayur: if you already give up i have no reason to continue helping you, just go back to vista\xp\whatsoever.. anyway good luck [08:47] yeah, it is [08:47] ikonia: Got it. Much thanks :) [08:47] DinkyDogg: you'll need to make a re-index of that database - if possible [08:47] ikonia, any idea how? [08:47] it seems to me that it wouldn't really be feasible :/ [08:47] DinkyDogg: one of the reasons you're not meant to move /var around [08:48] ikonia, this is a server of mine, /var is where i kept most of my media (movies, music, etc) [08:48] there a better place to put it? [08:48] /srv maybe [08:48] DinkyDogg: put it where you want but moving the whole /var file system for just your data content is crazy [08:48] DinkyDogg: http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Debian/package-database-rebuild.html [08:49] ikonia, thanks [08:49] the deb-building instructions don't work with "debian.binary" folder in the source, they expect sth like "debian" folder, what can I do? [08:49] depape: they do work [08:49] depape: which guide are you using ? [08:49] ikonia: i've searched web, and didnt find one where "debian.binary" is mentioned [08:49] depape: which guide are you using ? [08:50] ikonia, btw, i have my whole file system from the previous build backed up. The only thing I changed on my system were some partition sizes, and i started using LVM on top of a raid instead of primary partitions on top of a raid. Can you think of an easy way to restore all the backups without screwing up the new setup? [08:50] ikonia: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ for example [08:50] DinkyDogg: put together a proper backup method [08:50] depape: you're not using debian === Album is now known as Album|Awy [08:51] hello anybody use bitchx here?

[08:55] exit [08:55] ups [08:55] Myrtti why ubuntu/debian abandoned it? [08:55] hi all, how do change the user name in ubuntu-server ? andrew@Home to Family@home and to change the passwd as well? [08:55] SirGrok: overall approach should be the same [08:55] Cyntek: I suggest you create a new user and delete the old one rather than changing the username [08:56] jigp: it had security issues that were not taken care of. [08:56] ikonia: okay, thanks for your help [08:56] ikonia, Do you know of a better/more efficient way? I am technically competant, and have a USB to IDE bridge at my disposal. [08:56] jigp: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=451373. [08:56] SirGrok: what's the problem with that forum post ? [08:56] ikonia: i just found a backport package, so i wont have to build it myself [08:58] I haven't even attempted it at this point, I am just getting my research done before I delve into formatting and whatnot. I am attempting to install Ubuntu on a Motion Computing 1300 [slate/tablet computer], but my Linux/Unix skills are a whee rusty. [08:59] SirGrok: use the usb-ide bridge with a cdrom or use that forum post [08:59] I've been a "user" for 8+ years, but my old debian machine went down a year or so ago, and I haven't the resources to get it up and a going. [09:00] SirGrok ♦ i would recomend opensuse for tablet, saves alot of work [09:00] is this the right command: sudo deluser andrew [09:00] ikonia, can I install to the bridged hdd on my desktop machine and the hdd properly function in the tablet, once installed? [I've been in a Windows technician world for too long] [09:00] larswey, Why do you say that? I have this guide [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4972622] and it seems straight-forward. [09:01] Is there any way to set a startup program to run as root by default? (It is just a small bash script) [09:01] how do i change my timezone in ubuntu? [09:01] SirGrok: depends on the support of the hardware [09:01] Pytlask: all init scripts are run as root [09:01] SirGrok ♦ ok, I got my pen working on mine but it wont click etc, only move === BigRed is now known as Sc00ts [09:02] opensuse have native support for alot of tablets [09:02] ikonia: Including those set through the System -> Preferences -> Sessions GUI? [09:02] Pytlask: no, they are user based [09:02] larswey, do you mind resotring to a wireless mouse? I actually prefer using my little Microsoft mouse with the tablet.

[09:03] SirGrok ♦ the point of the tablet is using the pen, if you dont need the tablet functions i dont see why you would need a tablet :p [09:04] Myrtti: Do you know of anywhere with a fairly good explanation of all of this?

Futhermore that looks like a reasonably simple issue [09:49] !version | banisterfiend [09:49] banisterfiend: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [09:49] !derivatives | banisterfiend [09:49] banisterfiend: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[10:09] can you receive me ? [10:09] i can hear you, yaz [10:10] wonderful [10:11] Basilikum: ask away [10:11] got a black screen after the loading bar [10:11] what is your problem with your videocard? [10:11] not able to install any driver this way [10:12] as soon as i take it out, i can start ubuntu normally [10:12] do you have another computer near ? [10:12] thats why i can talk to you. [10:12] great [10:13] did you install openssh-server on the computer with the problem ? [10:13] Basilikum: drop to root recovery console and run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [10:13] i just happened to manage an ubuntu standard installation without any extras [10:14] Basilikum: this will give you a default xorg.conf which will boot with any graphics card, if you have an onboard video card, disable it [10:14] ok one solution is: [10:14] 1) remove the problematic card and start Ubuntu normally [10:15] interesting... now the screen is white where it has been black before... [10:15] 2) install the ssh server [10:15] yaztalk: nice one [10:15] i can boot the root console via grub, is that ok too? [10:16] Basilikum: i'd shoot for ssh server [10:16] 2) (sudo apt-get install open-sshserver) [10:16] Basilikum: yes when your system post beeps, press esc and choose recovery mode for your kernel [10:16] 3) put again the card that have the problems [10:16] Basilikum: i'd go for ssh server to reconfigure video [10:16] 4) start the computer with the card - the screen will go blak (or white) [10:17] 5) using a second computer connect to the problematic one [10:18] (the second computer shoudl have ssh client on, do you have experience with ssh ?) [10:18] what is ssno [10:18] oh, sorry [10:18] ssh ? [10:18] first i typed what is ssh [10:18] then no [10:18] ok [10:19] do you know "telnet" ? [10:19] just expect me to be a noob [10:19] no problem. [10:19] NETCAT [10:19] OK [10:19] Basilikum: its a command line based server, when you do stuff in terminal, you can do that but over a network with encryption [10:19] sounds nice [10:19] what is the second computer an XP or another linux system ? [10:19] linux [10:19] Basilikum: it doesnt need an x server to run so that fact the screen is white / black / pink / spotty it doesnt matter [10:20] ubuntu 8.04 [10:20] great [10:20] Basilikum: you can still interface with the system and configure it [10:20] so for sure you already have on a ssh installed [10:20] and the not working one has ubuntu 8.1 [10:21] just tyme "ssh" at the prompt you will se the help coming out [10:21] i search a mysql designer tool can someone advice me?

[10:22] loup: have you installed video drivers? [10:22] a bit [10:23] ActionParsnip1, yes, newest nvidia driver [10:23] these two computers are connected to the same internet line? [10:23] yes [10:23] ActionParsnip1, the system response(klicking etc...) is slow [10:24] loup: if you websearch: speed up ubuntu there are some great guides, some are simple and some can be dangerous. Just read the warnings. hdparm is a good way to get better harddrive throughput but can damage them if you push too far [10:24] ActionParsnip1: They idea is that i have to offer some people backup disks that they can conect with tru a windows box for online storage. that acts like a hard disk. And has to be kinda Noob proof [10:24] armedking: then ftp sounds groovy === sadfdsaf is now known as WindowsXP_Rocks [10:25] but i didnt get a connection without the video card [10:25] OK [10:25] armedking: of sftp using ssh server [10:25] armedking microsoft skydrive is also a good idea [10:25] Who likes windows?

[11:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/123259/ [11:22] there's no answer in ubuntu-server so i'll consult you guys about the bug [11:23] I booted from cd [11:23] I selected a keymap (Hebrew) [11:23] Yaron: did yu md5 check the iso before you burned it as well as checking the cd was ok at the first bootup screen? [11:23] yes [11:24] Yaron: which, both? [11:24] it happened with few cds [11:24] Yaron: md5 checks and checking the cd is hugely important [11:24] it happened with couple of CDs... which downloaded from different computers [11:24] manohar, you having problems with medibuntu? or some other repos [11:24] quibbler: Indeed, this DEB program package was not installed on my computer. I am going now to restart that computer. [11:25] this bug has nothing to do with integrity [11:25] Yaron: its worth checking so you can rule it out as the cause [11:25] bullgard4: the repo didn't install it or did you install from a 3rd party deb ? [11:25] we'llassume the cd is ok [11:25] its not the cause i'm sure! [11:25] OK [11:26] ikonia: it's in the repos [11:26] now, after selecting Hebrew as keymap [11:26] question: how can i install a videocard driver via console without internet-connection? [11:26] quibbler: I know, but did he install it from the repo ? [11:26] I finished the installation [11:26] Basilikum, which driver downloaded from where [11:26] I couldn't type in English after the installation has finished because my keymap was set to Hebrew [11:26] !locale [11:26] and CAPSLOCK commands does not work [11:26] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [11:27] !keyboard [11:27] To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts [11:27] ikonia: i asked him to sudo apt-get mail-notification-evolution [11:27] Its pure CLI now GNOME! [11:27] no... [11:27] not GNOME i mean [11:27] bazhang: saphirre hd 4870 is the card, there is no driver downloaded actually [11:27] ikonia: I do not understand your question. A repro is a copy of a painting or document. And I cannot decipher the meaning of the message. [11:27] Yaron: oic [11:27] Hmm i'm noticing a slight problem with virt-manager [11:27] Yaron: let me websearch [11:27] thanks... [11:28] Yaron: is it Vowel Points? [11:28] no [11:28] I can't type anything [11:28] there is not Hebrew support in CLI [11:28] Basilikum, that is ati? nvidia? you would need to download at some point [11:28] bazhang: ati [11:28] Connecting externally is not an option [11:28] if i already have dnsmasq running, it fails to create the bridge for virtual networks, as dnsmasq is already providing dhcp... even if i have except-interface=virbr0, it still fails, any ideas? [11:28] although it work [11:28] Yaron: Did you try Israel? [11:29] What? how can I try Israel? [11:29] I can't switch my keyboard to anything beside the Israeli Keymap (Hebrew) [11:29] Yaron: It is in the Keyboard selection, one sec [11:29] bazhang: but all the driver installation guides i found need a internet connection, cause they are just wizards for many videocards [11:29] Basilikum, will this box have internet at some future point in time? [11:29] Yaron: so do you have something like this: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il/msg47241.html [11:29] Its not a problem, i'm pretty sure its a bug [11:29] bazhang: it has, as soon as i deinstall the videocard [11:30] Yaron: here is my xorg.con with default options: http://pastebin.com/f7e8b9298 [11:30] may someone help please? [11:30] !ask | gldtn [11:30] gldtn: 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. :-) [11:30] gldtn, need a question [11:30] I'm stuck with sonata and mpd... I got everything working fine, it evens connects but I cant see my music database under sonata. What can possibly be wrong here? [11:30] yes but I can't edit it because I can't type anything === jwy is now known as jeawy [11:30] Yaron: hmm, you could ssh in maybe [11:31] I need to connect externally in order to edit my Xorg.conf [11:31] If i need to connect externally its a bug! [11:31] Yaron: i think sshd is installed by default [11:31] I know... [11:31] That's what I did, guys I need you to help me to classify the bug... [11:32] Under what category or package should I report it [11:32] is there a ./runInstaller in ubuntu 8.04? [11:32] and also if this bug happens with other keymaps [11:32] Yaron: ive never heard anyone else experience this, does it do it every install? Maybe you could rerun the cd then see if it autoselects hebrew, then try to re-select a different language [11:32] Yaron: not sure, if its wrong Im sure it will be moved [11:32] it doesn't, I selected Hebrew [11:32] hi GNOME says CPU frequency scaling is disabled [11:32] is there a ./runInstaller in ubuntu 8.04? [11:33] it is not autoselected... [11:33] any idea how to fix it?? [11:33] jeawy: you can get them yes, for many apps, not ubuntu though, ubuntu is installed via a cd, usb or iso [11:33] My suggestion of fix is to be able to write in Hebrew but only if the proper xkbmp command is typed [11:34] Yaron: you could boot to a bootable cd of some other kind (desktop ubuntu, even gentoo minimal will do) and edit the xorg.conf file [11:34] so the default for server or any CLI will be english [11:34] I guess I can, but its still a bug... [11:34] Yaron: then put that in your bug report [11:34] quibbler: This provided a new Plugin 'Jean-Yves Lefort's Mail Notification' but not 'Mail Notification'. What is the difference? [11:34] Yaron: i think you are right [11:34] thanks but under what package? [11:34] Yaron: installer maybe [11:35] hi guys [11:35] thanks!! [11:35] debian installer? [11:35] Yaron: sure [11:35] Yaron: if its wrong it will be moved [11:35] I have a funny realtek ALC262 sound chip and the damn internal mic does not work [11:35] ActionParsnipl:why cann`t I find it? [11:35] so....??? [11:35] is there any work around for this?? [11:35] jeawy: find what? [11:35] thank you guys! ubuntu is the best OS ever! [11:35] the file i just say. [11:35] ludan: make sure its not muted for starters [11:36] !sound | ludan [11:36] ludan: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[11:36] dear ubuntu; why does the GRUB bootloader have several different versions of ubuntu and how can I remove the old ones [11:36] You found the Deb installer? [11:36] ActionParsnip1: I tried but look at here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SndHdaIntelSoundProblems [11:36] it seems there is nothing to do but I can't believe it :( [11:36] elatio: those are old kernels, you can uninstall the old kernels to save ~30Mb a kernel [11:37] thanks, how would I do that? [11:37] ok I got that fixed seemed like a permission problem [11:37] bullgard4: i thought you had mail-notification and were looking for the plugin...you have to install mail-notification as well sudo apt-get install mail-notification [11:37] ludan: run: lspci in terminal [11:38] ludan: it will tell you what it is [11:38] question: can i install a video card without the card physically installed in the computer? [11:38] i mean can i install the drivers [11:38] if you know which drivers you need then yes [11:38] elatio, You could also comment out the kernels you don't want listed if you want to keep them on the system for compatibility [11:38] just another question guys: Where is the configuration for double clicking a application title bar so it scrolls up? do I need compiz fusion for that(gnome) [11:38] Basilikum: you can certainly install the drivers and configure xorg.conf [11:38] ActionParsnip1: I have a couple of sound chip: Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV620 Audio device [Radeon HD 34xx Series] and this one Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [11:38] how? [11:39] i just know what card i have [11:39] ludan: then i'd suggest disabling one until you get the other working [11:39] Basilikum: what card is it? [11:39] ActionParsnip1: how to disable then?

[12:01] ivve, some minor gains iirc [12:01] ivve: i don't think there is any, xfce comes with compiz [12:01] running a 1.6ghz intel mobile and 1 gig ram, is it worth even trying ubuntu or is it going to be slow as? [12:01] iiv [12:02] should i go for xubuntu straight away? [12:02] ivve, that is plenty for gnome [12:02] ivve: ubuntu minimal and install what you need [12:02] on this machine ubuntu is really heavy and itÃ's 1.0ghz p3 512mb ram [12:02] so i'm a bit sceptic about running ubuntu at all, seems to eat so much memory? [12:02] hay_ig2000, which plugins? [12:03] ktorrent plugins [12:03] they are not shown [12:03] !xubuntu | ivve [12:03] ivve: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [12:03] hay_ig2000, yes; which ones [12:03] ivve : try #!crunchbang open box desktop [12:03] i'm running xfce on this one over ubuntu but damn it's still slow. [12:03] all [12:04] Well i'm a total newbie in linux, and openbox demands some configuration. [12:04] ivve: xfve sucks :P [12:04] but i've had my eyes on it [12:04] sveakex well yeah i thought it would be faster, but after going from gnome to xfce on this machine it didn't make such a difference. [12:04] ivve: Check out Openbox, or Fluxbox. They're windows managers, not a full desktop environment, but you can intregrate nautilus along with gnome daemons in Openbox, or Fluxbox and I'm sure others [12:04] ivee :: loads at abot 130MB [12:04] ivve: try something like fluxbox [12:05] rrplay, please dont recommend that here; its not supported and offtopic [12:05] does it have graphic configuration? [12:05] I find Openbox to be easier to setup than fluxbox. [12:05] again, total newbie and cannot handle the terminal very well [12:05] bazhang, ok got it [12:05] vigo, thanks -- i'll look into it [12:05] Open Office 3.0 has been out for a while. Why isn't it included in Ubuntu? [12:05] and openbox seems to need some configuration no? [12:05] ivve: openbox menu is done in xml and it is a pain the ass [12:05] yeah, that's what i thought [12:06] lexrex: I have used it for a while now, it is a GUI thing, but works [12:06] ivve: Query me, and I'll give you some recommended sites that will help you setup openbox really nice. YMMV though.

[12:06] ivve: openbox doesn't have a panel by default [12:06] No, I noticed. [12:07] How fast is openbox then? I'm a bit sceptic, when I was running gnome people were going "Oh no man go Xfce, it's sooo much fasterÃ." [12:07] Which I can't really say i feel [12:08] ivve: fluxbox/open are only window managers, not an entire DE [12:08] Stef1: You can use AbiWord or your fave text editor with extra language packs. [12:08] sveakex oh real [12:08] i thought it was. [12:08] haha. [12:09] thx vigo [12:09] Stef1: Then create a launcher, after it is set up [12:09] hi im back [12:09] ivve: openbox is just a window border, and a menu, fluxbox is the same thing with a panel [12:09] so how do solve my problem [12:10] ivve: you can also take a look at lxde, it is a real lightweight DE [12:11] reteftert [12:11] sveakex what's it like design wise? [12:12] ivve, openbox with a panel and some session features, with a sucky terminal which you should replace with rxvt-unicode/urxvt [12:13] i restarted ktorrent once again and plugins are shown now :) [12:14] after i accidently fucked up sudoers, it doesnt autologin anymore, just ends up at the console login prompt, and not ubundu desktop login, how can i fix that?

[13:54] DarkKnight: _please_ install drupal from the repos [13:54] sudo is the shit [13:55] aaljee: to add as secondairy group: "usermod -G -a " [13:55] aaljee: thats why i'm wondering! i just set a root passwd [13:55] aaljee: it is, but don't express it that way here :) [13:55] ActionParsnip1: i want to watch a DVD though, and i dont like totem because to be honest with you... its shit. lol [13:55] !ohmy | lenswipe aaljee [13:55] lenswipe aaljee: Please watch your language, attitude, and topic to help keep this channel friendly and helpful. Remember, there are kids here! [13:55] brettalton1: go to system/preferrences/sessions [13:55] mcphail; i have started that installation...so you mean i dont have to copy the files i have downloaded [13:55] heh have i heard that before ;D [13:55] remoteCTR1: in a script though, using the command line [13:56] DarkKnight: let me know if I can help [13:56] DarkKnight: no. [13:56] lenswipe: try mplayer [13:56] ActionParsnip1: Just wondering if you knew of any other good players out there for playing dvds ive even tried MythTV but it has stopped recognising my drive in mythtv, got any ideas? [13:56] DarkKnight: got to get back to work. Using the repo version will mean you will get security updates automatically [13:56] oCean_; thank you very much for that. I'll surely contact you [13:56] DarkKnight: good luck [13:56] i need some advice on ubuntu here. i had an issue where my /boot partition was filled up with kernel stuff. this resulted in security updates didn't come in. how do i solve this in the future? [13:57] Filled with kernel stuff? [13:57] brettalton1: i am afraid i dont quite get the point here... you want to add sessions via scripts? why dont you just use rcS.d? [13:57] 这个 不 是 中文 的 ？ [13:57] kavity: package manager put a lot of kernels in there [13:57] lenswipe: sudo apt-get install smplayer [13:57] lenswipe: what error do you get when you run vlc in terminal? [13:57] !cn [13:57] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [13:57] ActionParsnip1: cool thanks :) [13:58] Pici, kale, oCean_, mcphail; one of my friends has already done the website cmrcet.org My HOD has asked me if I can do something better. SO i took it as a challenge [13:58] can someone tell me where the boot.log is located? [13:58] quibbler: do you mean vlc-vox [13:58] mcphail; thatnk you for ishing me [13:58] Aragon: /var/log/dmesg [13:58] mcphail; thatnk you for wishing me [13:58] ActionParsnip1: he was trying to get vlc working [13:58] Aragon: just type dmesg to view it [13:58] DarkKnight: and it should be done by tomorrow? [13:59] Hi!, which is de developer channel from ubuntu ? [13:59] !info vlc-vox [13:59] Package vlc-vox does not exist in intrepid [13:59] x-ip: what you wanna develop? [13:59] !info vlc-nox [13:59] vlc-nox (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer (without X support). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.9.4-1ubuntu3.1 (intrepid), package size 2651 kB, installed size 7268 kB [13:59] DarkKnight: basic setup can be done within an hour, however you still have to master the backend too... [13:59] oCean_; i have idea about html...no idea about javascript or anything.... so i kinda hope to do it [13:59] remoteCTR1, thanks... yea the problem is that i cant boot linux ;) [13:59] lenswipe: try using vlc-nox [13:59] ActionParsnip1: thanks, i got smplayer install but it wont play the DVD for some reason O_o [13:59] Aragon: oh i see! [14:00] lenswipe: you need the dvd codec [14:00] ActionParsnip1: ah, where do i get that from? [14:00] remoteCTR1: because I need it on an individual basis [14:00] oCean_; if i can show some static content with good features...he may give me another 3 days to get it done with backend [14:00] remoteCTR1, i want to develop a gnome-applet-reminder, a simple field where u put some event, and then use some kind of 'notifications' that remember you what you have to do, like the ubuntu updates and upgrades notifications ... [14:00] in fact i want to use that 'bubble' x'D [14:00] !dvd [14:00] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [14:00] http://pastebin.com/m3a800240 <---- any ideas on this? [14:00] how do i escape a character using grep sya I want to find {$bob --}/ if I grep -r $bob --}/ * I get results but {$bob --}/ * does not return anything [14:00] remoteCTR1: individual basis, just like system > preferences > sessions. gconf only edits preferences on an individual basis, that's why gconftool-2 is so invaluable [14:01] oCean_; but that's only an expectation...anyways i am putting up effort [14:01] lenswipe: any player can play anything as long as it has codecs [14:01] DarkKnight: ok. So you 'mv' the files to /var/www ? [14:01] Poundo, generally, a backslash will escape the next immediate char [14:01] x-ip: hummm... i dont know the suitable channel for that purpose, i am sorry.. [14:02] np :) [14:02] maybe it should be ubuntu dev channel and gnome dev channel [14:02] brettalton1: humm no clue... [14:02] berns: I tried that and /{$bob --}/ returns nothing either [14:02] Hi folks, [14:02] Been googling for a while :( [14:02] How do I restart cups in Hardy?? [14:02] Cheers. [14:02] x-ip: there's more then one... [14:02] stonegrinder: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:02] Poundo, well, you have a slash there (not a backslash)... [14:02] oCean_; i am installing drupal from the repos as been said by mcphail... so i haven't copied yet [14:03] stonegrinder: /etc/init.d/cupsd restart === hume_ is now known as hume [14:03] Poundo, but if you mean you want grep to interpret a bunch of chars literally, put it in double quotes [14:03] (single quotes may work too) [14:03] try matching a ! [14:03] stonegrinder: sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart [14:03] Poundo, check your PM [14:03] stonegrinder: maybe [14:03] DarkKnight: ok. That'll be version 5 I guess. Should not be any problem though. Indeed it might be less confusing to use mysql and drupal from repos. [14:03] stonegrinder: try tab completing after typing cup [14:04] ActionParsnip1: i was faster and righter:P [14:04] hahaha [14:04] bernz: yikes you are right tried \ and same diff whats PM [14:04] ALGUM BRASILEIRO AKI? [14:04] remoteCTR1: what is? [14:04] Poundo, check your private message window(s) [14:04] remoteCTR1: thanks anyway!~ [14:04] does privoxy sort flash commercial stuff by default? [14:04] oCean_; will installing from repos be alright...will it work [14:04] cupsys! [14:04] !br | Anatel [14:04] Anatel: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [14:04] ok [14:04] Cheers! [14:04] ubottu vlw [14:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about vlw [14:04] DarkKnight: yes, I would think so. [14:05] actionparsnip1 (03:03:03 PM) remoteCTR1: stonegrinder: /etc/init.d/cupsd restart ... never mind;) [14:05] !info vlw [14:05] Package vlw does not exist in intrepid [14:05] ActionParsnip1: ok i installed the codec and it still wont play the DVDs, any ideas? [14:05] stonegrinder: i am installing xmind but it is prompting me to insert an apton cd [14:05] remoteCTR1: its too late for me dude, sorry [14:05] ActionParsnip1: the screen on the program goes black like its gonna do something and then it does nothing.... [14:05] oCean_; and this is what I got on starting apache2 http://paste.ubuntu.com/123333/ [14:06] ActionParsnip1: yeah and your are a cluster-solver so actually i am glad if i ever ansver anything before you:D [14:06] lenswipe: try: mplayer dvd://1 [14:06] Hey everyone my totem keeps crashing, my firefox doesn't play anysound in youtube, any1 here knows why? [14:06] remoteCTR1: if yo uwanna jump in ;) [14:06] DarkKnight: that's not a real problem. It means you cannot connect through hostname, but we can fix that too [14:06] oCean; so how can we fix it?? [14:07] ActionParsnip1: sure, always glad to help -- provided i can... [14:07] DarkKnight: does your machine have a hostname? [14:07] disappearedng: http://www.codecguide.com/fix_for_flash_sound_problems.htm http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204022 [14:07] ActionParsnip: it gives me a lot of feedback in terminal telling me how many subtitles there are on the DVD and stuff and it says playing dvd1, but its not doing anyuthing.... [14:07] disappearedng: http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/multimedia/405321-no-sound-flash-64bit-opensuse-11-1-a.html [14:07] ActionParsnip1: it used to work before, its just stopped playing DVDs recently [14:08] oCean_; hold on upon that question...we'll get back to that later....after installing drupal...its asking me POSTFIX CONFIGURATION....what should i enter in mail config [14:08] lenswipe: hmm strange, you could reinstall the dvd plugin. I hve a leeting now [14:08] lenswipe: do you have medibuntu repos in your source list ...you need to install libdvdcss2 [14:08] whats a good syslog monitor/manager for linux? i have around 50 machines.. [14:08] quibbler: well like i said, it used to play DVDs, its just randomly stopped doing so... [14:09] DarkKnight: well, that's up to you .. if you NEED mailconfiguration and if you HAVE setup a postfix environment. [14:09] lenswipe: what did you use? [14:09] quibbler: no error messages, i just click either a DVD playing program such as VLC or i press play DVD in the likes of smplayer and it just does nothing [14:09] oCean_; i have no idea about that...can you be clear [14:09] quibbler: however if i press play DVD under totem it says unable to read from resource [14:09] DarkKnight: well, postfix is a way to send mail from your machine. [14:10] ok, so i've installed ubtuntu-restricted-extras, but still get jumpy playback :/ [14:10] lenswipe: do you have the medibuntu repos [14:10] George2: what are you playing? [14:10] quibbler: idk, how do i check? [14:10] kale - an mp4 [14:10] DarkKnight: actually it's called a "transfer agent". Using that, mailclients can send mail from your computer. Can't you skip that part in the setup? If you don't need the mail function [14:10] George2: is that video? [14:10] lenswipe: look in your software sources [14:11] Hi, I'd like to force Ubuntu to change its behaviour on my CPU, it seems it has lost its Speedstep abilities [14:11] quibbler: just under synaptic? [14:11] oCean_; i dont need that if its not necessary for drupal [14:11] m\ybe it's my video driver, and yes kale [14:11] oCean_; should i cancel it [14:11] I'd like to change its behaviour to conservative or something, or at least know how to do it to test it. :P [14:11] George2: are you using mplayer? [14:11] Right now it's awfully stuck at max cpu freq and no need of it. [14:11] DarkKnight: I'm not sure if 'cancel' is the cancellation of the install or just the postfix setup [14:11] lenswipe: system-administration-software sources [14:12] quibbler: no it doesntlook like i do have the medibuntu repos [14:12] kale totem and vlc [14:12] Lunks: sudo cpufreq-set -g ondemand [14:12] George2: sorry cannot help on those, i can on mplayer [14:12] erUSUL: thanks a lot [14:12] lenswipe: go here and add them: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [14:13] quibbler: thanks [14:13] oCean_; i just skipped that...now its configuring drupal5 [14:13] DarkKnight: ok [14:13] DarkKnight: you're almost there [14:13] erUSUL: thanks! [14:14] lenswipe: then you are done doing that go to synaptic and install libdvdcss2 [14:14] Lunks: no problem [14:14] oCean_; there's a text box with: configuring database for drupal5 with dbconfig-common...its already selected...should i click Forward [14:14] erUSUL: weirdly, setting it to 'ondemand' kept it on 100%, so I manually chose 800Mhz and it's down at last [14:14] erUSUL: and it *stills* go to 2GHz from time to time [14:15] It appears there are 2 things managing the same problem, does it sound reasonable, erUSUL? :P [14:15] DarkKnight: don't really know, seems to be default (right) choice at this point [14:15] Lunks: really do not know what may be happening my athlon64 x2 works well with ondemand. i do not have to force it [14:15] oCean_; soclick Forwar? [14:15] oCean_; soclick Forward? [14:16] yep === ahti_ is now known as Starkie [14:16] hi [14:16] erUSUL: thanks =) [14:16] oCean_; and database mysql??? [14:16] quibbler: ok i added the medibuntu repos [14:16] quibbler: what now? [14:16] DarkKnight: If you have installed mysql and its running, yes [14:16] anyone know how to get usb mouserate poll to 500hz in ubuntu ? [14:16] i have some partition on ntfs with lots of data on it.. Is it possible to convert the partition into ext3 from ntfs directly? [14:17] Lunks: which cpu are you using? [14:17] lenswipe: then you are done doing that go to synaptic and install libdvdcss2 and w32codecs [14:17] quibbler: thanks [14:17] erUSUL: It's a Turion, single-core [14:17] Hi guys.. [14:17] how do i change my qt app fonts? (kdevelop) [14:17] mohan_: without loosing the data nor doing a backup? [14:17] helo: install qtconfig [14:17] yes.. is ti possible erUSUL? [14:17] hmm looks like it's somehow 'fixed', erUSUL [14:17] oCean_; which webservers should be configured automatically...there's a list [14:18] mohan_: no; i'm afraid it is not [14:18] !yay | Lunks [14:18] Lunks: Glad you made it! :-) [14:18] not sure what I did, but now the cpufreq panel works again, erUSUL... thanks =) [14:18] DarkKnight: it's all up to you. I think default is best choice at the moment. Through backend it can all be modified after install [14:18] ok.. is there any way to increase my linux ext3 partition size with empty partition? [14:19] oCean_; apache is default...but i have installed apache2 as well [14:19] i am low on diskspace in ubuntu.. [14:19] mohan_: yes a resize can be lossless (the empty space mast be at the endo of the ext3 partition [14:19] quibbler: synaptic cant find the libdvdcss2 codec, it just comes back with no results :( [14:19] help wieh this script please [14:19] http://tinypaste.com/7fcff [14:19] i'm unable to completely remove a package, can you help? [14:19] ok.. thanks erUSUL.. which software should i use to do resize? [14:19] mohan_: gparted can do it graphically [14:19] LANG="C" dpkg --remove linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-15-generic [14:20] FATAL: Could not open '/boot/System.map-2.6.22-15-generic': No such file or directory [14:20] thank you erUSUL... [14:20] lenswipe: search for libdvdcss [14:20] kale; go to repos and right click and select completely remove [14:20] DarkKnight: err.. I only have apache2 installed. It seems odd that apache1 is installed. Maybe it means apache = apache2? [14:20] mohan_: do it from a livecd. you must not edit mounted partitions [14:20] DarkKnight: err.... click? [14:20] kale: try doing sudo touch /boot/System.map-2.6.22-15-generic [14:20] hmmm... ok.. i will.. thank you.. [14:21] oCean; i get an error installing drupal5 what do i do???? [14:21] how do I (on startup) run a script from the terminal with a specified terminal profile? [14:21] hwo do i determine what video drivers i have? [14:21] DarkKnight: it depends on the error [14:21] lstarnes: it tries to run update-initramfs [14:21] exim or postfix thats the question [14:21] hmm [14:21] lstarnes: Cannot find /lib/modules/2.6.22-15-generic [14:21] kale: which version of the ubuntu kernel are you using? [14:21] kale; ya point your mouse on the box beside the package you wnat to uninstall and you can just click as well [14:21] kale: *linux kernel [14:22] lstarnes: right now this is running: Linux radiator 2.6.24-22-generic #1 SMP Mon Nov 24 18:32:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [14:22] quibbler: any ideas? [14:22] DarkKnight: ask in #drupal-support ;) [14:22] DarkKnight: no gui [14:22] lstarnes; well i faced this many times before..dont know why [14:22] lenswipe: do you have 32 or 64 bit ubuntu? [14:22] quibbler: 32 [14:23] kale; that's bad [14:23] hello all - in general what do your hardrives run at for temperature? average? max? whats a reasonable max sustained ? [14:23] DarkKnight: thats good! [14:23] lenswipe: you can't find w32codecs? [14:23] what's the simplest way to install KDE4 from Ubuntu? [14:23] How to take backup of entire softwares i compiled and using in ubuntu? (Precaution: If my hard disk crashes!!) [14:23] quibbler: didnt try w32 ill try that now [14:23] DarkKnight: try for once to compare the time loading that gui stuff, to just getting the job done [14:23] quibbler: fyi... w32codecs does seem to be missgin in jaunty === rajesh is now known as Guest81268 [14:24] kale; faster then typing commands all the time [14:24] quibbler: the only thing synaptic finds is mingw32, min232-binutils and mingw32-runtime [14:24] mohan_: there are many backup solutions.. type !backup to get some bot info [14:24] !backup [14:24] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [14:24] DarkKnight: I find that the commands are often faster [14:24] lenswipe: you are in ubuntu 9.04? [14:24] quibbler: nope, 8.04 [14:25] DarkKnight: how long time does it take you to tell the gui to install bwm? it takes me 2 secs "apt-get install bvm" [14:25] lenswipe: are you sure you have the medibuntu repos [14:25] mohan_: if we're talking about commercial deployment here I would go with a complete system backup.. disk imaging or something like that, for home use I would just recompile [14:25] quibbler: i did! [14:25] mohan_, one easy way to do it is to divide your main disk into two "halves", and keep duplicates of your partitions (copy the entire partition to the spare); if anything goes horribly wrong, you can boot from a live gparted cd and copy the backup partitions back over the main ones, restoring to an earlier time. if you mirror your "good" partitions weekly, it should be good enough [14:25] lstarnes;there's not many people there who can help me [14:25] did you reload after adding it [14:26] lstarnes;there's not many people there who can help me in that channel [14:26] hanasaki: hang on.. let me check [14:26] DarkKnight: what was the error message? [14:26] quibbler: any ideas? [14:27] hanasaki: between 30 and 40 degrees celsius [14:27] lstarnes;no reason givem; its just asking me whether i want to abort or retry...i tried the retry many times before...but i never got it [14:27] mohan_, but what i suggested *does* cut your "useful" disk space in half, plus it requires you to resize existing partitions to make room for creating the spares, which can take some time [14:27] DarkKnight: does it say anything else? [14:27] lenswipe: if you have the repors then w32codecs is there in synaptic [14:27] Slart: hmm mine run at 45C [14:27] hello, I have a directory called Sales, here is the line drwxrwx--- 3 nobody MnS 4096 2009-02-26 07:58 Sales ,and I have a user called Saler , in the group MnS but he can't access [14:27] quibbler: well not for me === Roozbeh|Away is now known as RoozbehOnline [14:28] where are the video driver settings for ubuntu, i can't find them anywhere [14:28] Slart: what about your CPU temps? [14:28] lenswipe: pastebin your source list and give me the url [14:28] alright gimme a second [14:29] mohan_, oh, and obviously, the most significant drawback to my suggestion: if the disk controller fails, or an otherwise integral part of the physical disk fails, your backup partitions may be inaccessible (but not really to a professional recovery service, in the case of really important losses) [14:29] quibbler: where can i get them as a text file? === rajesh is now known as Guest60408 [14:29] bernz - but pro recovery services are mucho expensive [14:29] lenswipe: do you know pastebin? [14:29] lstarnes;i went to the help and i got this error: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MYSQL server through socket 'var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [14:29] lenswipe: /etc/apt/sources.list is a text fine [14:29] does anyone know if how I can quickly set a disk quota for a newly created user ? [14:29] hanasaki: not really sure.. there are several sensors.. 50-60 degrees celsius, I think [14:29] quibbler: yes [14:29] George2, oh yeah, i'm talking about like... an artist's masterpiece or something you'd actually want to save, as opposed to stuff that can always be recreated easily [14:30] DarkKnight: is mysql running? [14:30] quibbler: what im asking is where can i get my source list as a text file to put into pastebin. [14:30] lstarnes;i dont know [14:30] lstarnes;what do i need to do? [14:30] DarkKnight: run ps aux | grep mysqld [14:30] lenswipe: tritium told you /etc/apt/sources.list [14:31] quibbler: oh, never heard it [14:31] quibbler: saw it even [14:31] lstarnes; roshan 11047 0.0 0.0 3004 744 pts/0 R+ 20:01 0:00 grep mysqld [14:31] * bernz simply uses something like 'cp -a' to an external HD for backups ATM (rsync when i have more time to set it up) [14:31] DarkKnight: then mysqld isn't running. Do you have mysql installed? [14:32] darknight - use xampp - trust me [14:32] if you install apache and mysql, you'll run into clean url problems on drupal [14:32] How do i make an external screen work with my ubuntu-laptop? [14:32] Darknight - ^^ [14:32] George2: I haven't had those issues when using apache and mysql [14:32] lstarnes;yes i checked it says unable to connect mysql when its trying to install drupal [14:32] quibbler: http://www.pastebin.com/m57e02f9 [14:32] Iceman_B^Ltop, i guess it requires a little background knowledge about 'quota' ('sudo apt-get install quota', 'man quota' maybe) [14:32] DarkKnight: try running sudo invoke-rc.d mysql start [14:33] hello, I installed ubuntu 8.10 on a ibook g3 (powerpc) I have a blank screen at startup; looking some posts on-line the only solution is reinstall 8.04, but I'm doing a network install, there is no other solutions? I can't do the network install again. at the boot prompt just say linux or old the options Linux nosplash video=radeonfb won't work [14:33] lenswipe: the link is to an empty pastebin [14:33] Iceman_B^Ltop, (in other words, answer is probably "no", nothing quick) [14:33] #ubuntufr === soni is now known as Rand [14:34] gaby: /j #ubuntu-fr [14:34] lstarnes;invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/mysql not found.

[14:35] marcos, if you don't object to KDE, maybe 'kubuntu' will work -- i had better luck with it for my laptop (though a PC one) than with ubuntu [14:35] sup all [14:35] quibbler: hhm weird, sec [14:35] marcos, (that is, if you can try another distro) [14:35] xiroV: does the laptop have an nvidia board installed? [14:36] Scunizi, ye [14:36] I'm trying to install pptp client with multi NIC's, any idea how to bind the pptp client correctly? [14:36] xiroV: and have you enabled the restricted drivers? [14:36] lenswipe: be right back..gone for coffee [14:36] quibbler: try that: http://pastebin.com/m57e028f9 [14:36] bernz: I see. well whilst googling, it seems like I need to do some shuffling around with partitions or so [14:36] Scunizi, yea.. the graphic driver works fine on my laptop.. i just want to connect an external screen to it [14:36] and thats still beyond my knowledge [14:36] aurax, (only an idea: the client probably has a config file, and it probably refers to the network device to use, e.g. "eth0"... look in that diretion) [14:37] honestly, I think it's ridiculous that something like user quota's can't be implemented by default, and also in an easy way [14:37] bernz: nothing there mate... [14:37] yes but how to start at least in text mode? no solution? possible? all the linux version is possible why not ubuntu? the only solution is reinstall? worse than windows 98 [14:37] Iceman_B^Ltop, hmm... it shouldn't require partition changes -- keep looking for a better explanation on the Web :-) [14:38] alright [14:38] xiroV: if you haven't already you'll need to install nvidia-settings. then with the laptop shutdown plug in the other monitor then turn it on. Boot the lappy and load nvidia-settings to turn dual monitor support on or off.. [14:38] aurax, well, unfortunately, that exhausts my store of ideas :-] [14:38] quibbler: that worl for you? [14:38] work* [14:39] aurax, which PPTP client is it anyway? i'm not being facetious, but did you read its docs? ;-) [14:39] hi [14:39] lstarnes; its taking me 50 minutes to install mysql-server-5.0 [14:39] lenswipe: i'm back...you don't have the medibuntu repors there [14:39] i try to configure openvpn on my ubuntu pc [14:39] Scunizi, So it only works if it's already plugged in while booting? [14:39] it display [14:39] v [14:39] Thu Feb 26 15:38:11 2009 Cannot load CA certificate file ca.crt path (null) (SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations): error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory: error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file: error:0B084002:x509 certificate routines:X509_load_cert_crl_file:system lib [14:40] hi! how can i create more than one primary partition using gparted? i currently have 1 primary and 2 extended + swap [14:40] quibbler: WTF? thats weird, i ran the command from a link thats sposed to add them to the source list, and when i run software sources from the administration menu they show up in there O_o [14:40] sudo openvpn /etc/openvpn/server.conf [14:40] Scunizi, and what exactly do you mean about "load nvidia-settings" ? [14:40] bernz: sure man.. got one line up and running, it's just that i have 8 internet lines here and they all using pptp to dial out. [14:40] by running that command [14:40] can anyone help plz === Blacki_ is now known as Blacki [14:40] xiroV: typically that is correct.. espicially if the external is a flat screen tv as well. At least with mine if I don't have the monitor/tv plugged in before booting the lappy then the resolution gets all messed up [14:40] Hei [14:40] lenswipe: go here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu and follow the instructions on adding the Repositories === root is now known as Guest81461 === Guest81461 is now known as STIAN9992 [14:41] Iceman_B^Ltop, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=289571 -- it looks complicated, but doesn't require repartitioning, just changes to your fstab; if you are very careful and plan everything out in advance, you should be able to do it safely -- if it doubt, back up the partition you're adding quota to first ;-) [14:41] heisann [14:41] lenswipe: for hardy [14:41] quibbler: i did that, i ran the command it told me and the medibuntu repo shows under System>Administration>Software Sources.... [14:41] xiroV: nvidia-settings is a program to activate the second monitor with an nvidia card.. it does other things like tweeking but you'll need it regardless. [14:41] quibbler: just for some reason its not in the text file.... [14:41] aurax, well, it's an interesting problem, so if you tell me the name of the client you're using, i'll read a bit about it, and if i come across anything useful, i'll update you [14:41] xiroV: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [14:42] Hi. I'm running Intrepid's kernel. There's a bug they say it's fixed in Jaunty's kernel. What is the best way to update to that kernel (or at least have it as an option to boot from)? [14:42] bernz: it's the well know pptp-linux package [14:42] lenswipe: run again in terminal: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [14:42] lenswipe: no [14:42] Scunizi, i already have it :) Thanks a lot.. i think i've sorted it out :D THanks [14:43] xiroV: np :) [14:43] lenswipe: sorry this: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [14:43] crazy2k, basically: 1) get jaunty kernel sources 2) compile 3) place result (kernel file) into boot volume 4) reboot, and instead of running the default kernel, give it the name of the newly-compiled one; 5) when finished playing, reboot [14:43] hi guys. I have a gigabyte geforece 6600 graphics card I just installed. I'm using 180.11, but it seems later versions are available. Should I upgrade? if so, how, as that's the latest version from intrepid repositories. [14:43] lenswipe: then this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update [14:44] aurax, okay, cool [14:44] Nevis: nope that should work fine.. if you find any anomolies you might even try using the 173 driver.. use to work great for me. [14:44] thanks bernz! [14:45] yo yo yo [14:45] Hi, I would like to install MySQL on Ubuntu without being prompted to enter the root password (because I use a script to automate the install and I change the root password later in the script). The script use this command "aptitude install -y mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient15-dev" to install MySQL, but I'm still asked to change the root password (with Ubuntu 8.04.2). Any solution? [14:46] ActionParsnip1: hey, still same problem [14:46] tbalthazar: you can make apt-get not need sudo [14:46] quibbler: ok i ran that, still not working, i cant find the codecs in synaptic O_o [14:46] bernz: ah thanks, I'll take a look [14:46] lenswipe: does vlc-nox work? [14:46] quibbler: want a screenie of my sources list gtk app? [14:46] I also found a switch in Wwbmin [14:46] "enable quota's" [14:46] lol [14:46] *webmin [14:47] LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL [14:47] !webmin | Iceman_B^Ltop [14:47] Iceman_B^Ltop: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [14:47] Rand: Do you have a support question? [14:47] ActionParsnip1: I don't understand what you mean. [14:47] ActionParsnip1: i'm trying to get lenswipe to add the medibuntu repos [14:47] tbalthazar: you can set certain commands to not need sudo [14:47] uhoh [14:47] quibbler: i have done, several times..... [14:47] quibbler: want a screenshot? [14:47] !medibuntu [14:47] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [14:47] yes] [14:47] quibbler: http://s221.photobucket.com/albums/dd12/lenswipe/?action=view¤t=Screenshot-SoftwareSources.png [14:48] hi all. i was hoping someone can tell me how do i run xubuntu without starting the xserver. it used to be so easy bu just changing a number in the inittab. how do i do it now? [14:48] Pici: No, just retarted friends [14:48] ActionParsnip1: best to remove webmin then? [14:48] ActionParsnip1: and that will prevent apt-get from asking to change the mysql root password? [14:48] ActionParsnip1, I don't think he has a sudo problem .. he doesn't want the mysql postinst script to ask for a root password === jwy is now known as jeawy [14:48] unop: that's it [14:49] psypher246: you mean you don't want to restart x to get xubuntu up? like run it in a different TTY? [14:49] tbalthazar, you might be able to change the debconf priority to high and get away with it -- but i am not sure. try. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow debconf [14:49] lenswipe:put a check also medibuntu source [14:49] unop: surely if he adds the command to whatever file makes that happen it can be done without sudo or password? [14:49] tbalthazar, after that - try installing mysql [14:49] quibbler: it isnt checked???? [14:49] quibbler: :O! how could i miss that??? [14:50] Iceman_B^Ltop: its advised but if its working for you i can't see why not. I dont use it and can only tell you what the factoid says [14:50] ActionParsnip1, the mysql installer asks for a password to be set for the mysql entity 'root' (not the system user) - that's what he's looking to avoid [14:50] lenswipe: reload and check in synaptic again [14:50] quibbler: ok i checked the box and got another error message, ill screenshot it... [14:50] is there a way to have the icon text (for the icons on desktop) to be readable on light AND dark backgrounds? (like in windows) [14:50] quibbler: gimme a sec... [14:50] Scunizi: no i want to change the run level so that x does not start on boot [14:50] unop: ahhh to set the root mysql password on the other system [14:51] psypher246: forever? [14:51] yes [14:51] ActionParsnip1, well, not set it - but rather, don't set it [14:51] hey guys i've lost my taskbar, what do i do? how do i get it back? [14:51] unop: i gotcha [14:51] psypher246: ok.. sorry I missunderstood.. don't know the answer to that one but could have had you running 2 occurances of x with xubuntu in one and ubuntu or kde in the other.. :) [14:51] unop: when I run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow debconf, it launches an interactive blue screen, which is what I want to avoid with my install script [14:51] does anyone have any idea what does window require besize the fac that it wants to be installed on a primary partition? [14:51] psypher246: system -> administration -> services. Disable graphical login. runlevels 2-5 are identical on debian, so you just want to disable the specific service on runlevel 2 (the default) (at least) [14:51] hi all [14:52] anyone? im freaking out! [14:52] which is the best ide that can be configured with gcc for ubuntu? [14:52] what bothers you banisterfiend [14:52] psypher246: does this thread help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=6460 [14:52] jrib: can i not just change the runlevel to one that does not boot graphical? [14:52] cristi: it doesn't even require that really, but you shouldn't need to do anything else special [14:52] dtcrshr: ive lost my taskbar :( [14:52] tbalthazar, I don't see you getting out of this one easily -- are you creating a script that you will distribute to other people or is it just for yourself? [14:52] banisterfiend: right click some other panel, open preferences, and a a new panel [14:52] psypher246: if runlevels 2-5 are identical by default then that's not possible, right? [14:52] kale: i dont have any other panels [14:52] jrib: runlevel 2 is not used [14:53] quibbler: http://s221.photobucket.com/albums/dd12/lenswipe/?action=view¤t=Screenshot-synaptic.png [14:53] kale: runlevel 2 is default... [14:53] unop: it is already open source : http://github.suitmymind.com/ubuntu-machine/ [14:53] banisterfiend: not even the usual top panel [14:53] jrib: then on reboot psypher246 would have no gui.. once in that position how do you reverse the process? [14:53] and text only is 3 right? [14:53] unop: couldnt you edit the post install scipt somehow? [14:53] kale: no, all i have are the icons on my desktop, that's all [14:53] Scunizi: YOU HAVE THE COMMNAD LINE [14:53] oops sorry [14:53] nnot screaming [14:53] Scunizi: /etc/init.d/gdm start, System -> Administration -> Services. Or use sysv-rc-conf or bum [14:53] jrib: then ubuntu really sucks [14:53] unop: I installed a ubuntu server in a breeze with my script yesterday, and today, it do not work anymore ... :-/ [14:53] aurax, perhaps this config tool would be helpful: http://quozl.linux.org.au/pptp/pptpconfig/0-README.phtml [14:53] kale: I guess you mean "debian really sucks". But no, not really [14:54] jrib: uhm, however is it ok to have 2 primary partitions? and also a friend told me that windows needs the first bytes from the disk in order to be succesfully installed. That is not correct isn't it? [14:54] all you used to have to do is change the runlevel number in inittab [14:54] kale: you can get runlevel 2, its single user mode command line [14:54] Anyone here tried to run multiple x servers, with two keyboards and mouse? [14:54] jrib: runlevel 2 i undefined [14:54] jrib: ah.. early for me.. forgot about init.d to start the gui.. :/ [14:54] ActionParsnip1: thats runlevel 1 [14:54] kale: if you are using ubuntu, run « runlevel » [14:54] Rand: i guess thats what u might call a mainframe computer eh? [14:54] jrib: is right [14:54] aurax, but besides that, it looks like there's a file '/etc/ppp/options.pptp' which might contain something useful [14:54] quibbler: i managed to pickup w32, what was the other one called? [14:54] jrib: hey hold on, i'm wrong here. runlevel 2 is singleuser with net, its runlevel 4 that doesn't exits [14:55] psypher246: this is debian policy. If you want, use sysv-rc-conf or bum to modify just runlevel 2 to not start gdm, doesn't really matter [14:55] :P hehe, wondering if it is possible... would have been really cool:P [14:55] kale: aahhhh RL2 = Multi-User Mode Does not: configure network interfaces or start daemons [14:55] hi guys, how do I setup fetchmail to use a catch all account? [14:55] kale: on debian (and ubuntu) runlevels 2-5 are identical by default [14:55] kale: Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) and later contain Upstart as a replacement for the traditional init-process, but they still use the traditional init scripts and Upstart's SysV-rc compatibility tools to start most services and emulate runlevels. [14:55] jrib: i do not believe so [14:55] kale: jrib is correct. [14:55] jrib: one of those is without networking [14:55] kale: wikipedia [14:55] lenswipe: libdvdcss2 [14:55] Hi, could anybody know why my cursor on screen jump everywhere when i am typing. [14:55] ActionParsnip1: I'll go with phpsysinfo [14:56] afancy: do you have a touchpad? [14:56] quibbler: right. [14:56] tbalthazar, i'm guessing you could create a .cnf file that contains the password and place it in /etc/mysql .. the installer should use that configuration instead [14:56] jrib: also runlevel 5 should be with gui, and 3 without gui [14:56] as far as I knew runlevel 1, single user, 2, gui, 3 just text. another forum said add text to the kernel boot line but that didn't work either [14:56] lenswipe: try a dvd [14:56] banisterfiend, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=303438 (try pressing alt+f2 and search panel and run it) [14:56] ciao [14:56] kale: on some distros that is their policy, sure. Not on debian [14:56] cristi: maybe, how can i close it? [14:56] unop: great idea, I'll try that [14:56] cristi: disable touchpad [14:56] jrib: that is very weird [14:56] tbalthazar, to understand how the installer works, you might have to look at the preinst/postinst script in /var/lib/dpkg/mysql*inst [14:57] system->preferences->mouse->touchpad and you have the disable option [14:57] quibbler: thanks man, it works now, except there is no sound and the color looks like a 50s TV [14:57] quibbler: any ideas? [14:57] Is there some way to lower the speed of the touchpad scoller? [14:57] It seemed it is 3 times faster than with the previous update. [14:58] quibbler: nvm i got sound.... [14:58] lenswipe: what player [14:58] Hey my totem crashes whenever I play a file any ideas? [14:58] fasta: set scroll speed somewhere in gnome settings i'd imagine, set it to fewer lines [14:58] quibbler: smplayer [14:58] disappearedng: run it from terminal, you will get intelligent output [14:58] try vlc [14:58] Daft_Punk: alt-f2 doesn't do anything, in fact none of my old shortcut keys seem to work [14:58] or totem [14:58] hi [14:58] banisterfiend, did you try restarting the system a few times? seems like something didnt load properly [14:58] afancy: system->preferences->mouse->touchpad and you have the disable option [14:59] Daft_Punk: for example i had Control-ALT-t bound to open a gnome-terminal but now it says it can't even locate the command 'gnome-terminal' anymore! [14:59] jrib: seems you are right about those runlevels in debian. long time since i used it [14:59] banisterfiend, but do you know if gnome-terminal is installed? [14:59] cristi: many thanks [15:00] afancy: no problem ;D [15:00] unop: im installing it now...do you think it got uninstalled when i went 'apt-get remove nautilus-extensions1' ? [15:00] ActionParsnip1 http://pastie.org/400962 [15:00] banisterfiend, it's possible [15:00] banisterfiend, but i am not sure about that [15:01] well im confused to all hell [15:01] disappearedng: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274124 [15:02] is there anything i can type at a terminal to bring back the taskbar? [15:02] banisterfiend, errm.. gnome-panel perhaps [15:02] what do i need to learn in order to get involved in the motu project? i mean making packages and stuff [15:02] banisterfiend: you can delete your gnome settings [15:03] kale: im not sure about that, mightn't that just make things worse? :( [15:03] unop: gnome-panel, it says the command doesn't even exist.... :/ [15:03] banisterfiend, does the panel come up when you log in? [15:03] no it doesn't [15:03] banisterfiend, i guess you need to install gnome-panel too then [15:03] cristi: think ppl in #ubuntu-motu can help [15:04] oCean_: thank you [15:04] unop: do you know the name of a package that just has all that stuff with it? like gnome-terminal and gnome-panel etc [15:04] i think i uninstalled something pretty fundamental when i was following the advice i was given :/ [15:05] banisterfiend, errm, ubuntu-desktop perhaps [15:06] where can I find support for ubuntu 9.04 ? [15:06] !jaunty | aboSamoor1 [15:06] aboSamoor1: 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. [15:06] unop: if i install ubuntu-desktop it's not going to screw everything is it? (btw installing gnome-panel did get my task bar back thanks! but im scared that there's a mbunch of other wtuff i need to install too that i dont know about) [15:06] hi all, i used supergrubdisc to reinstall grub..afterwards booting into ubuntu has been slower by nearly 10 seconds [15:07] im trying to configure my wireless from the command line do i need to restart to make the changes take effect [15:07] ? [15:07] bsdbandit -> nope [15:07] banisterfiend, well, what i would do is examine /var/log/dpkg.log to see exactly what was removed after you 'followed that advice' .. and reinstall those packages [15:07] i am trying to mount a samba share, ideally so that it can be mounted from kde. its set up in fstab and can be mounted from a shell with sudo mount, but seems to require sudo? and i have found no way to doing this via kde, either. can anyone here help? [15:07] Can you suggest a software like Quanta Plus? I don't want to install KDE libs. [15:08] aurax, sorry, it looks like i can't get enough understanding of the pptp stuff without installing it and playing around a bit; but i'm pretty sure you should be able to list your 10 NICs in '/etc/network/interfaces', and then put 'eth0', 'eth1', etc into your pptp configs... something like that. good luck! [15:08] bsdbandit, they will probably be lost -- unless you save them in /etc/network/interfaces [15:08] ok [15:08] im going to give that a try [15:08] im running fluxbox [15:08] bsdbandit, but that file has specific syntax .. see man 5 interfaces [15:08] ok [15:08] cool [15:08] thanx [15:10] IntuitiveNipple: mind giving me some help with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EloTouchScreen [15:11] CarlFK: Not sure I'll be any use; I only spent an hour with an Elo :) [15:12] IntuitiveNipple: well, for openers I am not sure I am getting the xorg.conf settings recognized... or something [15:12] What is a good tool to create a DVD with custom subtitles?

[15:13] CarlFK: As far as I recall, it 'just worked' when I set it up (aside from the inversion issue) so I didn't really look closely [15:13] NIC == network interface card [15:13] yes [15:14] ActionParsnip1: hey there isn't a fix for this though [15:14] it matters for speed of your LAN, but as a human, you'll never notice [15:14] What's the correct way to set a user defined search path in /etc/resolv.conf?

[15:14] !server [15:14] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI.

For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html - Use the #ubuntu-server channel for support [15:14] faria, yes, definitely [15:14] AJC_Z0: /etc/resolv.conf has to do with DNS, not search paths [15:15] faria, some built-in NICs even come at gigabit speed (1000Mb/s) [15:15] brenz wich one is the best ? [15:15] Dueland: if you mean change the label of the partitions on your HDD, you can do it with Gparted, but you'll have to unmount them before you change the names (thus you might have to do it via a LiveCD) [15:15] bernz [15:15] IntuitiveNipple: out of the box it kinda worked - but the X was flipped - up down is fine, move finger to the right, mouse goes to the left [15:15] how come i get an error just typing in ./configure in my terminal ?

[15:15] jin_122: it depends on the error message [15:16] faria, in other words, your mobo probably has a 10/100 built-in, maybe a 100/1000 -- both are "best" ;-) [15:16] so u advice me to use pci NIC card [15:16] jin_122: obviously the configure script can't end because you're missiing something. [15:16] tritium, you can set a search domain in /etc/resolv.conf to use to resolve non-FQDNs [15:16] SiDi: Is it necessary if i don't use any of them to boot up the system with?

A search path is part of a network environment [15:16] faria, but if you have a built-in one, it's just as good (and saves a slot) [15:16] unop: fair enough [15:16] Dueland: well you need to unmount a partition in order to change its name so you cant rename your system partition without using a LiveCD. any other partition should be ok :) [15:17] thanx bernz [15:17] faria, in fact -- the built-in one could be *slightly* better, because it might be more "directly" connected to a bus (but probably, it's just hanging on the PCI bus anyway) [15:17] AJC_Z0, well, edit /etc/resolv.conf and place your domain there then [15:17] thesleepingox@ubuntu:~$ ./configure [15:17] bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [15:17] ok thnx [15:17] jin_122, you need to be in a source directory for that to work [15:17] faria, no problem [15:17] thanx bernz [15:17] My flash drive doesn't auto mount sometimes, when it doesn't my computer freezes and I have to reboot. Anyone having this problem? [15:18] unop: Of course that doesn't last longer than until the next DHCP refresh. I could mess with dnclient.conf, but with per-user session based network config that would be suboptimal [15:18] Droopsta915, i've had lock-ups just after POST (before OS loads) if a USB stick was plugged in on some motherboards [15:19] bernz how can i set my ubuntu for shell service with vhost [15:19] Droopsta915, the only one i can recall for sure what an XPC "shuttle" machine [15:19] today apt updated my flash player, now FF doesn't know the player is there, it asks me to "download a new plugin"! Any ideas? [15:19] I'm migrating from FreeNAS (FreeBSD) to Ubuntu. I have a 3 drive Software RAID0 UFS that was setup in FreeNAS. Will I be able to access the data in Ubuntu without reformatting the disk, and if so how? (I'm new to linux). [15:19] faria, i don't understand; do you mean you want to log into a shell from a remote machine? [15:19] is there a messenger where I can use my microphone with? [15:19] ok [15:20] AJC_Z0, well, that's by design - the network is controlled by the administrator - you can't have users hijacking the policy you set out [15:20] CarlFK: I'm guessing this is a clue "Unable to ask Elographics touchscreen identification" [15:20] is there another messenger- other than pidgin- that it's possible to use the mic with ? [15:21] IntuitiveNipple: how do I figure out device="?" [15:21] speaking about pidgin... i cant stop the system beep when you hit backspace in the chat window [15:21] anyone know how to stop that [15:21] unop: Setting an appropriate search path is hijacking? I didn't know I was a terrist [15:22] CarlFK: You must know what port the device is connected to? Maybe the device model isn't supported by that driver? [15:22] ForzaPalermo, you *might* be able to just disable the system beep (globally) from the sounds control panel [15:23] it is but only in pidgin [15:23] AJC_Z0, yes, because as an administrator - you want users to use the domain (and policies associated with it) and a contravention of this is termed 'hijacking' [15:23] it stays! [15:23] so annoying [15:24] Hi everyone. I just noticed that the motherboard I ordered from newegg has an 8 pin connector for the cpu but my powersupply only has a 4 pin connector for the cpu. Can I use my 4 pin connector or some sort of adapter? What should I do? Thanks. [15:24] slerder: you need to buy a new powersupply [15:25] !webmin [15:25] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [15:25] i have problems with mounting my phone i can see it but i cant open it [15:26] Dillizar: bluetooth? [15:26] usb [15:26] ive got a problem i just installed xubuntu 8.10 and theres no x button or - button up top of applications and i cant resize or move the applications does anyone know how to fix this [15:26] Dillizar: you need to set the phone to be an usb-storage-device [15:26] Dillizar, is it a MSD/MSC (mass storage)? [15:26] ive had xubuntu before never had this problem [15:26] i did kale [15:27] bernz, i dont know what is that :) [15:27] Dillizar, in that case, it's probably at least showing up in /dev/sd*, no? [15:27] Dillizar: fdisk -l [15:27] Dillizar, MSC == mass storage class (a USB device class), sometimes also called MSD (mass storage device) [15:28] Dillizar, it makes your device's storage (usually flash, sometimes a removable drive, like SD or micro-SD) appear as a typical "disk drive" to the OS [15:28] when you do fdisk to a drive, and make it a primarmy partion and just hit enter till the end, does the partiion take up the whjole space of the drive [15:28] i just installed xubuntu and i dl newest nvidia drivers and installed them also with xubuntu if anyone can help i would be more than thankfull [15:28] mine is 1.5tb i just want to know if there is a limit [15:28] bernz, i can see the card and the phone but i cant enter [15:29] ForzaPalermo, newer BIOS and kernels support up to [insane limit] disk drives [15:29] how do i detect the mac address from a pc on my local network? [15:29] kale fdisk -l doesnt work [15:29] where [insane limit] is at least in the PBs, i think (petabytes... 1000s of TB) [15:29] ghostlines: arping [15:29] Dillizar, 'sudo fdisk -l' ;-) [15:29] :P [15:29] bernz: right, but im just wondering if its a limitiation of the funtion [15:29] cause it asks about cylinder size [15:29] Is there a way to find out what packages were recently updated? [15:30] and i get confused cuase i have no clue what it is [15:30] Dillizar: id [15:30] ForzaPalermo, nope, it's only asking if you want to make the partition smaller than the whole disk (if the table is empty already) [15:30] hi everyone i just installed ubuntu and i need root access does anyone know how i could do that? [15:30] I updated something yesterday through UpdateManager, and it seems the change made my system instable [15:30] nicolaialexander: sudo bash [15:30] nicolaialexander: In a Terminal, type `sudo su' [15:30] Bernz and kale i have this i sure hope i will not flood :) [15:30] Disk /dev/sdc: 11 MB, 11403264 bytes [15:30] 1 heads, 22 sectors/track, 1012 cylinders [15:30] Units = cylinders of 22 * 512 = 11264 bytes [15:30] Disk identifier: 0x00000000 [15:30] Could somebody help me with an error I get when trying to update package information? [15:30] Dillizar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:31] Dillizar, use a pastebin site (e.g. pastebin.ca) for multi-line output ;-) [15:31] bernz: so going through the defualt motions will give me maximum partiion size of 1.5tb or whatever that transition to when fomratted? [15:31] hi, i'm having trouble with my connection speed in ubuntu.. i have 8.10 any ideas what i should start on researching? :S [15:31] dsdeiz: tcpdump, bwm [15:31] Dillizar, anyway, so the phone's storage is 'sdc'; with 'fdisk -l /dev/sdc', you'll see if it has any usable partitions [15:32] hi guys.. [15:32] i am getting E: Type 'wget' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/akirad.list.. [15:32] How to reolve this issue? [15:32] ForzaPalermo, yep; after you create the partition, it will not yet be written to disk; at that point, display the table ('p' i believe) and confirm that the sizes are correct [15:32] Could somebody help me with an error I get when trying to update package information? [15:32] is there a reason its called a bash:? [15:32] ok then hit w to wr ite [15:32] thanks a lot [15:32] Dillizar, then you need to mount them (probably there is only '/dev/sdc1') [15:32] bernz, i dont have SDC [15:33] kale: uhm, i'm kinda new to ubuntu.. may i ask what are those for? [15:33] anybody? [15:33] nicolaialexander: It stands for Bourne Again SHell [15:33] Dillizar, ahhh... hm... well... you should unplug the phone, then 'ls -l /dev/sd*', then plug it in, then same command, and see if there's a new 'sd?' device (where '?' is a letter) [15:33] dsdeiz: tcpdump, dumps network traffic, bwm shows bandwidth usage [15:33] hello [15:33] when is open synaptic package manager I get E: Type 'wget' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/akirad.list error and closes.. [15:34] Dillizar, because maybe it's 'sdb' or 'sda' or even 'sdd' (depending on what else you have connected, whether your boot drive is SATA, etc) [15:34] can anybody pls help me out from this? [15:34] how to set scim [15:34] i did some wrong thing with tee command.. [15:34] mohanohi, put the contents of that file up on a pastebin for us to see. [15:34] my ubuntu install is unussable, everything keeps segfaulting, can somebody help!?! [15:34] I'm migrating from FreeNAS (FreeBSD) to Ubuntu. I have a 3 drive Software RAID0 UFS that was setup in FreeNAS. Will I be able to access the data in Ubuntu without reformatting the disk, and if so how? (I'm new to linux). [15:34] k bernz ok i can see it so is there a command to mount it :) [15:35] i will but i can not [15:35] thanks a ton [15:35] mohanohi, if you are missing 'wget' (i'm not saying you are, but i can't make sense of that error), you could try 'sudo apt-get update' and then 'sudo apt-get install wget'... but i don't think that'll really help [15:35] Dillizar, awesome, so.. to mount it, you just need to create a "host" directory somewhere (an empty dir, say in '/media' or '/mnt') [15:35] bernz, he's got the word 'wget' in that file -- and APT doesn't understand the meaning of the word [15:35] This is the way the world ends; not with a bang, but a whimper. [15:35] /etc/apt/sources.list.d [15:35] hi all, is 686-SMP support built in to the default intrepid kernel? [15:35] oh.. sorry. [15:35] Dillizar, call it 'phone' or something; and you gotta super that ('sudo mkdir /mnt/phone') [15:36] hi, I'm having trouble writing to my 3rd gen ipod over firewire in 8.10. USB works, reading over firewire works. [15:36] nevermind, I fixed it [15:36] unop, ahh... hmm... that's tough to fix (particularly if the file has been edited) [15:36] mohanohi, sudo aptitude install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/akirad.list [15:36] axyjo: uname -a [15:36] kale: thanks i'll see it. [15:36] pastebin it? [15:36] bernz, errm, no, just edit the file and take the odd bits out [15:37] can you pastebin directly from CLI? [15:37] the only way i could get mine to work was in amorok and i had to manually write the firewire id to the ipod [15:37] IdentifyTarget, sure [15:37] IdentifyTarget: check with a livecd but id guess you can, im not sure what UFS read/write speed will be like though [15:37] bernz, thats awesome too :D but can you tell me step by step :D [15:37] spideyman: haven't tried Amarok yet, but even just "touch test" doesn't work... [15:37] Rioting_pacifist: EXCELLENT IDEA!

[15:38] im in India [15:38] unop, yeah, but one has to identify the "odd bits" (to avoid further damage); that's the tricky part (unless one is already "good" at doing so) [15:38] Like the ones ised for windows [15:38] spideyman: do you have any more info about writing the firewire id? [15:38] *used [15:38] and Intel [15:38] shadeslayer, if you order a free cd you will get them :) [15:38] http://mandrivausers.org/lofiversion/index.php/t50594.html [15:38] hmm it has SMP, but how would i go about optimizing it for a 686 processor as opposed to a generic? there's no such package as a linux-image-686, but there is a linux-image-386 [15:38] Dillizar, it's the directory that you will bind your device's storage volume (the phone's internal "disk drive") to [15:38] mohanohi, when you're ready ... that command returns a url, paste that in here [15:38] Dillizar: not those,too big [15:38] Dillizar, and through which you will access that data [15:38] What does Ubuntu 8.04 LTS stand for? [15:39] how do you tell when sbackup has finished?

It gave series of error..

[15:56] CarlFK: I've not idea; it's not something I use [15:56] unop, just aptitude (re)install randompackage [15:57] it displays which pakcages it is going to install (nill) how ,many (nill) and ends [15:57] Dykam, that's the command, we're interested in the output it generates [15:57] unop, it's dutch... [15:57] Hello! [15:57] Dykam, that's fine .. i can translate [15:57] noone can help? [15:57] how do you tell when sbackup has finished? [15:57] unzip the package with tar -zxvf filename [15:58] I ask a question many times [15:58] strange thing is that auto eht0 worked fine BEFORE the update .. and it is a brand new install [15:58] 3 [15:58] Dykam, hmm, how did you ascertain that dpkg is broken then? [15:59] unop, becasue it doesn't install it? [15:59] and then spideyman? [15:59] spideyman: no luck with amarok or the firewire-id.

[16:01] Dykam, heh -- see what ubottu just said ^^ [16:01] wh4vn_: however, Seems you're trying to build ddrescue, which is also in repos (apt-get install ddrescue) [16:01] ikonia: is the realtek nic a problem kid? [16:01] unop, why does it then display in the search results... [16:01] spideyman: it's mounted, and all apps can read it, but writing doesn't work [16:01] and doesn't give an error [16:01] Hi, do a lot of people use Elementary OS? [16:01] even though mount tells me: /dev/sdc2 on /media/IPOD type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush) [16:01] oCean: ddrescue? [16:02] Dykam, are you on intrepid? [16:02] uaneme: well it's a closed source driver as I recall [16:02] euhm, think so, wait [16:02] oCean: why I must install it? [16:02] uaneme: so the update may have broken that [16:02] o hell [16:02] yes unop [16:02] wh4vn_: sorry, I am mistaken [16:02] Dykam, it appears to be a virtual package - that's why - http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=intrepid&keywords=monodevelop-query [16:02] yes thats why i had to manually write the firewire id cause it sees it but cannot write to it [16:02] oh [16:03] wh4vn_: that had nothing to do with you [16:03] ikonia: is there a way to rollback that update? [16:03] Dykam, seems like it is provided by monodevelop-database [16:03] uaneme: not really - I'd look at fixing the issue [16:03] spideyman: ok, but the tool on your link says "Couldn't read xml sysinfo from /dev/sdc", and the manual method doesn't turn up an ID either [16:03] but, unop, I based my opinion of dpkg being broken, because of an error message when about someting saying ->cache() when updating [16:03] ok [16:03] Dykam, hmm, well, do you still have that error message? [16:04] nope... few hours ago [16:04] gnr`: Saw that you tried unpacking ddrescue-xx.tar.gz ... ddrescue is also in the repos, install it using apt-get [16:04] Im outta ideas persistence is the key [16:04] produced by the gui-updater intregrated into ubuntu [16:04] oCean: I still get another error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/123396/ [16:04] Dykam, well, if you get it again .. come back and we'll see what we can do [16:04] :P [16:05] spideyman: I've already spent a day googling... but thanks, I'll keep looking [16:05] ive read about a post where the firewall was locked after an update but far as i can see ip tables are accepting all traffic [16:05] wh4vn_: sorry, dunno anything about that [16:05] sorry i couldnt be more help [16:06] oCean: :) Not at all [16:06] How does one find the changelog or readme or whatever for different version of a package?

[16:10] Anyone have any ideas: I'm still having trouble writing to my 3rd gen ipod over firewire in 8.10. USB works, reading over firewire works. It says it's mounted rw, but no apps (gtkpod/amarok/rhythmbox) can write. [16:10] oCean_, yes, kill [16:10] $ whatis kill [16:10] kill (1) - send a signal to a process [16:10] oCean: :) I've found a deb pakage for gyachi, it [16:10] giaco, i stand corrected :-) (and now i know something new too ;-) [16:10] allright [16:10] hello, how do I restart sound? I was listening to pandora, and now my sound is playing an annoying repeated noise and won't stop [16:11] tbalthazar, cool [16:11] hehe .. on 27-7 network still works ikonia [16:11] Travis-42, time to shoot pulseaudio in the head. [16:11] unop i don't get iam a newbie [16:11] unop: yes, i understand kill very well. It seems the guy was asking 'how to check progress on dd command' [16:11] Travis-42, killall pulseaudio && pulseaudio & [16:11] but how to fix it for 27-11 [16:11] oCean_, ok then, what does kill do? [16:11] ubuntistas, where did you save the .bin file? [16:12] desktop [16:12] unop [16:12] Seveas: not stopping the sound [16:12] I think I'm actually using ALSA [16:12] ubuntistas, cd ~/Desktop; chmod +x the_file_name.bin && the_file_name.bin [16:13] ubuntistas, sorry, made a mistake. cd ~/Desktop; chmod +x the_file_name.bin && ./the_file_name.bin [16:13] oCean_, man dd | grep -i kill [16:14] "/etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop" stops the noise, but when I turn it back on, the noise is back? [16:14] unop, are you sure that that command wont stop the dd execution? [16:15] Travis-42, perhaps then it's another process that's creating the sound which has gone zombie? [16:15] giaco, no as SIGUSR1 is not a termination signal [16:15] bernz: Hmm, I'll start exiting things [16:15] giaco, if you're thinking "kill" would be better named "sig", i'd agree.. but it's too late for that ;-) [16:15] giaco, see the dd(1) manpage [16:16] ikonia: i found a few posts on the forum regarding Realtek on 27-7 and 27-11 === bahram is now known as gnudownload [16:16] ive got an onboard ati hd3200. with the fglrx drivers I get screen flickering. i updated to the latest drivers but still get flickering. any ideas? [16:16] unop, I've a problem, my pid is 1499 but $1499 returns "kill: (499) - No such process" [16:16] it trips the leading 1 [16:17] *strips [16:17] giaco: Drop the $ [16:17] giaco, who asked you to put a $ there? [16:17] :) [16:17] What is the correct version of flashplugin-nonfree to install into Hardy (or Intrepid) at this time? [16:17] unop: aha! have to admit I did not know that the USR1 signal did that to dd. [16:17] I've interpreted your suggestion in a wrong syntax [16:18] it's working :-) [16:18] thank you! I didn't know about this USR1 trick [16:18] giaco, kill -USR1 $(pidof dd) # would have worked quite literally [16:19] I wrote $1499 instead of 1499 [16:19] !package lftp-ssl [16:19] giaco, what i mean is. $(pidof dd) would have found the PID of dd and passed that on to kill [16:19] ? lftp-ssl [16:19] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:19] unop the file name is AdobeAIRInstaller [16:19] hi - is anyone aware of an channel for skype for linux?

[16:20] hello [16:20] !hi | mimilus [16:20] mimilus: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [16:21] Seveas, there is only lftp no with ssl [16:21] :S [16:21] il_padrino, the lftp in the 'lftp' package can do ssl as well [16:21] can anyone tell me how i can read the chat history in the Ubuntu skype release?

[16:21] hey guys i am having a problem [16:21] hi i need help with lm-sensors [16:21] bernz, it'd fail .. the extra PIDs would become arguments to kill (which it wouldn't understand) [16:22] How can I allow files to be renamed when I click on them when highlighted? Right now the only way i can rename a file is by right clicking on it and selecting rename [16:22] reanimation: go ahead all of us are listening [16:22] some of my data is not removed from the trush [16:22] unop, kill can kill multiple processes at once just fine :) [16:22] Can I make a dist upgrade from gutsy to hardy with my personnal ubuntu mirror, it contains hardy components, if not what must i put on my mirror to do it ? [16:22] How do I change my default window manager? [16:22] diesel: logout>options [16:22] ScottG489, make sure to click on the name, not the icon [16:23] Seveas: Yea ive tried clicking pretty much every way lol [16:23] even after changing the permission i am not able to remove that data [16:23] ScottG489, well taht WFM in gnome :) [16:23] please help me [16:23] diesel: then change sessiom>window manager [16:23] Seveas: lol wait what?

[16:25] I want to use the Sun JVM [16:25] / JDK === bernz_ is now known as bernz === Mud is now known as Mud|lunch [16:25] SlimeyPete, I was wondering the same recently. Habg on while I find out [16:25] arvind_khadri, and maybe i'll have to dist upgrade some other gutsy to hardy [16:25] mimilus, its better to do it that way...or get a alternate cd from somewhere and use it to upgrade [16:25] !alternate | mimilus [16:25] mimilus: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [16:25] Where can I find e binary debian linux kernel package for asus eee, that won't have any problems with SD cards like the current newest kernel available from array.org or whatever kernel easypeasy comes with? [16:26] testi: I'd start by asking in #debian [16:26] hey guys how to update hardy to interprid [16:26] !upgrade | reanimation [16:26] reanimation: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [16:26] SlimeyPete: looks like you just need something to provide the java2-runtime virtual package [16:26] arvind_khadri, When i've done my own mirror it was for can dist upgrade directly with it :( [16:26] Pici, no - for ubuntu [16:26] SlimeyPete: sun-java6-jre provides it [16:27] SlimeyPete, install the sun things first and apt-get -oApt::Get::InstallRecommends=false install eclipse [16:27] Pici, Ubuntu Intrepid [16:27] testi: You aren't going to find one, thats why projects such as EasyPeasy exist. [16:27] ubuntu really needs a rollback system for kernel upgrades === samael is now known as Guest44572 [16:27] unop, i dropped there for a second and maybe missed your response: how does $(pidof x) evaluate when there's more than one x process running? [16:27] uaneme: rollback? just boot the old kernel and uninstall the new one? :/ [16:27] Chousuke, eclipse-platform Recommends: eclipse-platform-gcj, so if you don't disable the installation of Recommended packages, you'll end up with gcj anyway [16:27] Pici - Is easy peasy dead? [16:28] mimilus, i guess you can [16:28] Hi, I edited the cron.deny file, removed the user "nobody" and added "nobody" in cron.allow. I can now create a cron command like "crontab /path/to/command.txt", how would I edit this cron in the future from command line though? Without editing the file where crons are listed? [16:28] Seveas: right, forgot that they're installed by default on Ubuntu :/ [16:28] testi: I don't think so. Its just not an official Ubuntu variabnt. [16:28] bernz, with regards to kill .. it would send the signal to each one of them [16:28] Seveas: thanks [16:28] thx Chousuke [16:28] !!! [16:28] klystik, crontab -e [16:28] unop, oh i see, it's 'kill' who understands '$(pidof )'... :-) cheers [16:29] bernz, so i'd say it depends on what the entire command was and whether or not multiple PIDs pose a problem [16:29] bernz, no, bash does the expansion and passes it on to kill [16:29] unop, oh, okay, got it [16:32] My firefox will not start, i always get the message "Firefox is alredy running, but is not responding", I have rebooted my computer three times now and still get the same message. [16:32] hi guy's and gals [16:33] im having some trouble using my id_dsa, Im connecting to my home ubuntu server, and im trying to connect to another machine [16:33] Menothusis, i've had that happen on firefox-XP as well, so it must be that FF has some kind of state file somewhere that should have been erased, but still exists, and it's "blocking" the startup [16:33] the ssh client ask's for password to unlock my id_dsa file, but it should not be password protected... it has something to do with gnome-keyring i think [16:33] bernz, any idea where i could find this file? [16:33] Menothusis, that's just a wild guess, and even if on the right track, i have no idea specifically which file or where it might be ;-/ [16:33] Sigkill: when you seutp the key did it have a password on it? [16:33] I've been playing with sbackup, and just did a restore on my test box, now I can't open a terminal on it!? [16:34] could removing and re-instaling fix the problem? [16:34] Menothusis, find ~/.mozilla/firefox/ -iname "*lock*" -type f -exec rm -vi {} + [16:34] Menothusis, however, on 'nixy systems, it's easier to guess; check your home folder for one starting with '.' ("hidden"), for firefox's local settings; maybe there's a file in there called "something-session" or "something-lock" or similar which just needs erasing [16:34] Menothusis, that command should find the lockfiles and ask you if you want to remove them [16:34] Seveas: how do I exit from crontab -e? (ssh n00b) [16:34] there, unop's suggestion sounds good [16:34] diginux: no, and i use it without password all the time, when im using gnome without problems.. but know when im connecting frmo remote, it doesnt work [16:35] klystik, if the editor is vi. ESC :wq [16:35] klystik, depends on your editor. I think you're using nano, so ctrl+O and then ctrl+X [16:35] Sigkill: so if you open a shell, and ssh, the key works fine, but some gui program you try to use asks you for a pw to unlock the key? [16:36] diginux: indeed, the first time after i've logined [16:36] unop, i get the message cannot find command "iname" [16:36] Sigkill: what program is asking for it? [16:36] Menothusis, that entire line is one command [16:36] diginux: im not at home right know, so im not 100% sure. but i think its the gnome-keyring-manager? [16:36] Menothusis, copy and paste it in your terminal [16:37] I get ".mozilla/firefox/: is a directory" now [16:37] adobe air is slow and it's crap [16:37] unop, nvm [16:37] * bernz . o O ( someone needs to invent typable delimiters that are widely-intuitively-understood to mean "do not type these, but everything between them" :-) [16:38] bernz: « » ¿? [16:38] erUSUL, those look good: how are they done on a "standard" (US) keyboard? :-) [16:38] unop, would it make any difference if the profile i'm using is in a different directory? [16:38] bernz: most people do not know how to get those out of their keyboars ;) [16:39] bernz: dunno in my spanish keyboard are AltGr + z or x [16:39] Menothusis, yes, you have to remove the lockfiles from the directory that contains the profile firefox will use [16:40] does nybody have some idea where i could get some php related helpo [16:40] erUSUL, yeah, i guess i would need to remap or something - my AltGr is not "special", just a regular Alt (without switching layouts) [16:40] twistedr, #php [16:40] thx [16:41] unop, that didnt fix the problem [16:42] Menothusis, did it ask you to delete any files? [16:42] yes several, including a file called .parentlock [16:43] Menothusis, are you sure firefox isn't running now? ps aux | grep -i firefox [16:43] i have an adobe air gadget folder how can i delete it ?, it has a root permision [16:44] I have an Alternate Install CD. Is it still possible to do a minimal install per the Server CD using this installer? [16:44] ubuntistas -> root ownership? [16:44] Hi, I'm using Debian 5.0 and X just crashed! I can't get it to start again and I know this is the wrong channel but I get a message saying I'm banned, I can't see any reason for that other than being there with Xchat before X crashed and maybe only 1 connection allowed..? Anyway, anyone think you could help me out? Possibly in pm since it's a bit OT [16:44] gotgenes: yes. [16:44] smthnelse: Try asking in #debian [16:44] what do u mean? [16:44] Pici: read my message [16:44] unop, it returns one result, grep -i firefox [16:44] i installed it now and i wanna delete it [16:44] gotgenes: I believe it's a pretty obvious option from the menu. [16:45] tonyyarusso: I selected "command-line system" [16:45] smthnelse: We do not handle Debian support here. YOu can ask in #freenode for help figuring out your ban reason [16:45] Menothusis, run the find command again.. see if it finds anything [16:45] from the F4 menu [16:45] Pici: I'm getting a message saying I'm banned but I haven't done anything. [16:45] Hi. I installed firestarter, trying to basically have NAT for the internal network [eth0] to our external network [connected to eth1]... But, in effect, its not working, giving an Unknown Error when trying to start the firewall... Can anyone help? [16:45] ubuntistas, it's not always the case, but if a file/dir is root-owned, you should ask yourself "should i really be deleting this?" (and if sure, 'sudo rm x' or 'sudo rmdir x' where 'x' is the thing to lose) [16:45] gotgenes: That'll do it, yeah. [16:45] tonyyarusso: rock on, thanks so much [16:45] I'm trying to do an sbackup over ssh to my test box, and I'm getting permission errors. The target dir. is /var, which is owned by root, and is in the admin group. Should I enable "others" to write to the dir, or add myself to the group? [16:45] unop, still just returns grep -i firefox as the only result [16:46] Menothusis, the find command shouldn't return that :) [16:46] ubuntistas, also 'man rm' to find out about '-r' option (CAREFUL!) [16:46] MINI Cuckoo Clock [16:46] unop, the process no longer exsists, so i cannot kill it [16:46] this the file how can i remove it? [16:47] unop, oops [16:47] bernz [16:47] unop, no results [16:47] ubuntistas, you could do 'sudo rm -r "MINI Cuckoo Clock"' with the double quotes included, but not the single quotes [16:48] ? [16:48] ubuntistas, and this requires you to be in the directory which contains "MINI Cuckoo Clock" subdirectory [16:48] is there a tool i can us to see if my domain is at risk? [16:48] Menothusis, you mentioned something about your profile being in another directory? is that the case? [16:48] ubuntistas, but if you are thinking to remove an application/library just by deleting it, perhaps reconsider and use apt/synaptic/aptitude/etc to do a "proper" removal [16:49] unop, yes, i ran your command in both directories [16:49] unop, no results [16:50] Daremonai, at risk of what? the only actual risk is social engineering -- if a human can convince the human who is "safeguarding" the data that contains domain info (registry), with money, or whatever, to make that data insecure, all bets are off... otherwise, no one can just "steal" your domain [16:50] i have some problem with my internet connection on my aspire one ebook, or whatever they're called. after i installed some updates i hasn't been able to connect on either wireless or the normal wired eth0-thing. anyone know whats up? [16:50] Menothusis, errm, did you run the command in or on both directories - there's a difference [16:50] (obviously, if you let it expire, it can be scooped up by people) [16:50] Hi. I installed firestarter, trying to basically have NAT for the internal network [eth0] to our external network [connected to eth1]... But, in effect, its not working, giving an Unknown Error when trying to start the firewall... Can anyone help? [16:50] Menothusis, to run it in a directory. find . -iname "*lock*" -type f -exec rm -vi {} + [16:50] unop, on, i changed the path in your find command [16:51] so, ubuntistas, you have an app you want to remove from your system, right? [16:51] Menothusis, hmm .. ok, try backing up your profile directory then deleting it [16:51] no just a folder bernz i just delted it with the command u sent me [16:52] Menothusis, you can always import settings, bookmarks, etc if firefox works later [16:52] bernz, I'm talking about the possibility for someone to find a vulnerability and perhaps do malicious acts to it, or some bad configuration that allows intruders to take advantage of my system. I was on dnsstuff.com I ran the domain health check, it told me i have 2 'vulnerabilities' or smth, but it wouldn't tell me what they were. [16:52] ubuntistas, okay, great... again, be careful when using "rm -r" because it can be VERY destructive; always double-check your command line when deleting (or massive modification) is involved ;-) === root is now known as Guest11171 [16:53] I'm trying to do an sbackup over ssh to my test box, and I'm getting permission errors. The target dir. is /var, which is owned by root, and is in the admin group. Should I enable "others" to write to the dir, or add myself to the group? [16:53] ok why destructive> [16:53] ? [16:53] is ubuntu picky when moving settings etc to a new pc with different hw? [16:53] Daremonai, oh, i see... well, not that there *aren't* risks, but keep in mind a lot of "businesses" depend on your fear of the unknown (e.g. anti-virus makers, *fake*-anti-virus makers, etc) [16:54] Daremonai, but does it actual describe the vulnerabilities, or does it want you to sign up to find out more? [16:54] bernz, true... which is why i'm asking here to see if there's a way to check for current known vulnerabilities, etc. [16:54] Daremonai, i think they might be referring more to ways your actual site can get hacked [16:54] bernz, sign up and pay. [16:55] unop, didnt work either, could re-installing firefox fix the problem? [16:55] does the terminal has a history [16:55] ? [16:55] Daremonai, yeah, so to me, it sounds kinda sketchy (they just want your money)... it's like those 'you are the 100000th visitor' ads -- how could they possibly be real, right? so therefore it's just a "lure" to get your money [16:55] bernz, that's basically it, I would like to see if there are some empty holes that need to be shut, and where they are. [16:56] Hi. I installed firestarter, trying to basically have NAT for the internal network [eth0] to our external network [connected to eth1]... But, in effect, its not working, giving an Unknown Error when trying to start the firewall... Can anyone help? [16:56] is anyone here familiar with setting up LVM? [16:56] Daremonai, unfortunately, there's no quick and simple scan to do that, but more general stuff: e.g. check ALL open ports on your gateway (e.g. router) -- ONLY open those that you actually need (e.g. 80 for HTTP, and so on) [16:56] Menothusis, it might do - yea [16:56] bernz, possibly, which is why i am not going to pay them for such stuff.. but am still looking for a way to like 'scan' it. [16:56] What packages create/use the ~/.wapi directory ? [16:56] hi [16:56] Daremonai: The tests that dnsstuff.com performs aren't for "vulnerabilities" per se, they are for problems which could affect people's ability to reach your site. Check their sample report to see what kind of stuff they check: http://private.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsreportsmpl.ch?domain=amazon.com [16:56] Daremonai, also, set your gateway to block/ignore/drop all unsolicited ICMP stuff (PING, etc) because it makes it harder to "feel" the server from the other side (hacker's end) [16:56] bernz, I run netstat all the time with a (watch), the ports that are open are the ones that i want. [16:57] can someone remind me how to start up another Xserver on port :1 and point it to gdm ? I know how to start X on a different port "X :1" but not how to point to gdm... [16:57] Can someone tell me which java plugins are available for jaunty and Firefox 3? [16:57] <_infidel> Can somebody explain me this error please http://pastebin.com/m6af3435c [16:57] bernz, my ISP already has those done... I cannot ping or be pinged atm. [16:57] Hi, anyone knows ICMP tunneling ? [16:57] Daremonai, awesome -- from the sounds of it, you've already got the basics covered (and often that's enough for 99% of the time)... just keep reading this and that about security, and you'll be fine -- it's a constant uphill battle, security, because the hackers are always one step ahead ;-) === khisanth_ is now known as Khisanth [16:58] unop, didnt fix it either [16:58] Daremonai, i've heard of a "hardened ubuntu" project which (besides being topical) might be of interest to you :-) [16:58] bernz, true.. am also taking an Internet Security course at uni so I can understand more about this stuff and to see how to prevent or at least try to :) [16:59] unop, fixed it, deleted .mozilla [16:59] bernz, cool, will check it out [16:59] Menothusis, i'm just wondering if you are actually using the profile you think you are using. [16:59] Menothusis, ahh [16:59] anybody at all using LVM? [16:59] unop, i was using the profile i thought i was, its shared between windows and linux [16:59] <_infidel> Can somebody explain me this error please http://pastebin.com/m6af3435c. Perhaps missing ssl packages? Just guessin [17:00] Hi. I installed firestarter, trying to basically have NAT for the internal network [eth0] to our external network [connected to eth1]... But, in effect, its not working, giving an Unknown Error when trying to start the firewall... Can anyone help? [17:00] unop, could Menothusis put a "watch" of file-touches, and then run FF, and check what files it grabbed at to see what needs deleting? (i don't know if such a "watch for handle attempts on a file" util exists, but...) [17:00] leet0s: I've used ICMP tunnels before [17:00] Anybody know of a good package used through Apache that would let me browse and play my music collection? Perhaps adds a flash or java plugin with play/pause/ff/rew buttons? [17:00] bernz, strace firefox [17:00] nice! :-) short 'n' sweet [17:00] MightyTweek, thanks for this, I just changed amazon.com to my site, and i got some statistics :) [17:00] * bernz runs 'strace firefox' for fun [17:01] i used to use vso convertxtodvd when i was on windows, to automatically convert and burn xvid movie to dvd so it would be playable on a dvd player. now that i have changed from windows to ubuntu, i want to find an alternative for this operations, is there any programs that can do this in one go, such as vso convertxtodvd can do, or is there simply no program for this? thanks to anyone who can help. :-) [17:01] OMG, that is the BEST new thing i've learned in months [17:01] Daremonai: Nice! [17:01] MightyTweek, it showed I only have 1 warning: [17:01] "WARNING: Your SOA (Start of Authority) record states that your master (primary) name server is: rack4.easydns.com.. However, that server is not listed at the parent servers as one of your NS records! This is legal, but you should be sure that you know what you are doing. " [17:02] * bernz invokes any listening deities to bless the creators/maintainers of 'strace' [17:02] I have three hard-drives installed in my computer, each time i reboot, the drive changes its /dev/ location. For example on of my HDs went from /dev/sda5 to /dev/sdb5, making my /etc/fstab rules invalid. [17:03] MightyTweek, hmm I might be wrong about something :S [17:03] _infidel: looks like the FOO-req.pem file does not exist [17:03] * bernz . o O ( i can't believe i've never run into 'strace' before! ) [17:04] bernz: wait until dtrace makes it to linux: strace seems like a flint-tipped spear in comparison. [17:04] .. [17:04] how could i use permision 666 when i mount a unit? [17:05] khirr: what sort of filesystem? (i assume unit == disk :-) === jacob_ is now known as Guest77606 [17:05] sudo mount owner -o sync -w -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/sony [17:05] Daremonai: I'm afraid I might not be much help without knowing the specifics of your hosting configuration [17:06] sipior sudo mount owner -o sync -w -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/sony but i just can copy files how root, i'd like can copy how user [17:06] sipior, i'm salivating... :-D [17:06] MightyTweek, such as? [17:06] sipior, (P.S. awesome metaphor) [17:06] trying to mount up a windows drive that crapped out on me. Unable to open /dev/sdb Ran chkdisk in windows first, and THAT crapped out eventually. Any ideas? I need a file on this drive [17:06] MightyTweek, do you mind if we take it to PM or smth? [17:07] craigbass1976, can you run the chkdsk again (and again if necessary) until it "succeeds"? [17:07] are there any wubigurus here? I'm having trouble with my virtual disks... [17:07] craigbass1976, AFAIK, the ntfs-3g driver [you're probably using] wants windows volumes to be cleanly dismounted by windows; if they are "dangling", it knows, and it's afraid to touch them; you can force it, however, with a switch [17:07] sudo mount owner -o sync -w -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/sony cant write how user, but i can how root, what could i do? [17:08] khirr: have a look at the umask option for mount. [17:09] why firefox only tells me close tabs and not save and quit? [17:09] sipior how use umask opt? when should i write this [17:09] khirr: you can make yourself the owner of all files with -o sync,uid=$USER [17:10] ? [17:10] any clue? [17:11] geirha thanksssssssssss, it works [17:11] ubuntistas, either some option is disabled (go to 'Edit | Preferences' and tab around a bit), or you have a weird build that can't save (early version?) [17:12] * bernz . o O ( dad gummit, too slow! ) [17:12] are there any wubigurus here? I'm having trouble with my virtual disks... [17:12] bernz, it would have helped if I was sudoing. DOH! === g_ is now known as george3 [17:12] hi guys.. === george3 is now known as george222 [17:13] hi, why isn't ffmpeg compiled with --enable-libmp3lame? [17:13] i can't get any sound frmo it at all :/ [17:13] i am building openmovieeditor software from source, it asked many dependency and i am downloading and building the building next dependent files.. [17:13] george222, MP3 isn't an open standard/format [17:13] some of the files are already installed according to synaptic package mananger.. [17:14] anyone know about the aspire one and a non-working connection? [17:14] hai [17:14] why doesn't it show up for the compiler? [17:14] unop - oh. so why then do i get no sound when encoding with ffmpeg? isn't that kinda useless? [17:14] why can't I post on the ubunut forums? [17:14] issue with vsftpd. Anonymous login, I'm trying to set the home directory to /music, but since I'm chroot'ing the anonymous login, it gives me an error because it doesn't match what the anonymous user is jailed to. Anybody know how to change the chroot directory for a specific user (anonymous) in vsftpd? [17:14] craigbass1976, doh indeed! but did it complain about the "dirty" state of the windows volume, or that's okay now? [17:15] george222, what are you doing with ffmpeg .. encoding an mp3? [17:16] now that software needs portaudio2.0 file.. i am unable to find the source from internet. But actually according to synaptic its already installed.. Why is it so? can pls anybody help me.. [17:16] * ProfeticX will just burn the damn disk next time... Wubi is toooo much trouble [17:16] mohanohi: did you install the -dev version? [17:16] hmmm.. need to check it out.. [17:17] unop - i'm transcoding a movie from mp4 to h264 [17:17] does an admin need to activate my forum account before I can post? [17:17] mohanohi: you most likely need the -dev package that goes with it for the headers needed for development [17:17] george222, what audio container are you using? if any? [17:17] ok.. thanx guys now i am installing.. [17:17] question, is there a room for people working on mobile technologies? [17:17] those dev files.. [17:17] unop - i'm not specifying one [17:18] cmdr_awesome, #openmoko [17:18] arvind_khadri: I am talking like sms and mms [17:18] cmdr_awesome, no idea sorry [17:18] * ProfeticX haxors his wubi install with old Redhat 6 install madia checked out from the public library [17:18] ProfeticX, i'm still waiting to hear that someone has figured out how to boot from .ISO file contained in another file system on a USB stick so we can stop burning endless CDs for no good reason -- unless isolinux or something can already do that [17:18] I want to connect my netbook to my desktop computer via an usb cable. both are running ubuntu. is there anything special I have to do or something to watch out for? [17:19] george222, hmm. maybe you should specify one? [17:19] unop, i've tried, and it's failed :( [17:19] arvind_khadri: okies, I will ask in the openmoko room [17:19] unop - should i rebbuild ffmpeg with libmp3lame? [17:19] I was just looking for a simple mms webservice I could hook into, and I wasn't finding anything on google. [17:20] george222, yea, no harm in that .. it might also fix your problem [17:20] * ProfeticX predicts only losers will use wubi in the year 3000 [17:20] where is the mount point for the archivemounter? [17:20] is there some way to restore old drivers? because my connection worked fine before i updated it, så i just want to check if that's the reason. [17:21] unop - what audio container would you recommend? ac3? [17:21] is there a way to know which program is listening on a certain port? [17:21] sieken: boot with an older kernel [17:21] any1 in here having related problem with Ubuntu box.....rebooting ...after shutting down all by itself? [17:21] thanks [17:21] how do i do that? [17:21] i'm still fairly new to this. [17:21] sieken: pick it at the grub menu [17:21] george222, it depends on the device that will play the transcoded file .. generally for PCs, ac3 will do fine [17:22] thanks unop, i'll have a go at rebuilding [17:22] leet0s: I've used ICMP tunnels before [17:22] Hi.

[17:23] does an admin need to activate my forum account before I can post? [17:23] bernz, yeah, I thought netstat can give that.. mmm.. i should find out what the command is [17:23] vigge_sWe, you could ask in #ubuntu-forums [17:24] hello every body I would like to set up a mail server with xubuntu just locally for the moment and I have no domain [17:24] hi all, i resized my ubuntu partition and after that the boot time was prolonged by nearly 10 seconds [17:24] Hi guys... not sure where else to ask, but a school system has 8.04 installed, and OpenOffice Writer won't spell check for any user that logs in. Trying to figure out what is missing. [17:24] * ProfeticX despises and nashes his teeth on wubi, shaves his head, and rues the day he chose to use WUBI [17:24] Daremonai, the '-p' option yields PID and process name ... that's probably useful...

(don't know if there's a "warning") [17:25] there is no password [17:26] it is the default ubuntu user [17:26] How to uninstall the *.sh package? [17:26] maybe if you have e link to a simple tutorial using mail server just for local ? [17:27] xubuntu, hmm... is this the first attempt, or is this a "known good/working" user account? [17:27] tried to reboot with an older kernel, but no difference. can't connect. [17:27] xubuntu: surely thunderbird is asking for the password attached to the mail account you're fetching from? or are you looking at a local spool? [17:28] I think it is asking for the account password but the account has no passwd [17:28] does an admin need to activate my forum account before I can post? [17:28] Is there any one could tell me How to Uninstall the *.sh package? [17:28] vigge_sWe: I don't think so [17:28] iGmail: which package was it? [17:28] sdb is only for usb-units and diskettes? [17:28] because I can't post or view imnages :'( [17:28] images* [17:28] iGmail: .sh is a very generic extension for a script.

[17:30] okay, well, it's a shame that ma5...whatever left so quickly, but for the log, i'll answer: to get 1280x800 working on intel 945gm chipset systems (many laptops), you're looking for the '915resolution' hack package [17:30] lstarnes: so How to uninstall that package? [17:30] iGmail, read the README in the source for uninstall instructions [17:31] danbhfive_jaunty: autojump, the packages name. [17:31] iGmail: there might not be a way to uninstall it other than removing every single file it installed and reverting every change it made to other files [17:31] I think my problem is in the postfix config [17:31] can anyone download the wallpaper from here and upload it elsewhere so I can have it?

[17:34] yep [17:34] the forums isn't sending any mails, it seems [17:34] like the mail server is down or something [17:35] vigge_sWe: Try #ubuntuforums [17:35] is there any way to emulate windows drivers?

I used find and got files to have 644 and directories to 755 [17:45] bernz, because i want use ubuntu, its is very fast, But I'm afraid of having problems with usability [17:45] Huufarted, no, +X does not affect files [17:45] kupesoft, in that case, my answer would be "probably, but i don't know exactly... maybe 'man fdisk', etc" [17:45] Huufarted, +x does but not +X [17:45] Oh, gotcha [17:45] I did not know that. That's hot [17:45] !sa [17:45] For the Saudi Arabia team : /join #ubuntu-sa : للانظمام الى قناة الفريق السعودي - For Arabic language support, please : /join #ubuntu-arabic : للحصول على الدعم باللغة العربية [17:45] bernz: I've already marked the partition in question with the hidden flag, it works on osx/win32 but not with whatever Ubuntu is using to automount, [17:45] insign, well, TBH, i'm not an amateur by any means, but i *still* haven't got my onboard USB host controllers working (primarily because of the combination of my laziness, and a working IO card with USB controllers on it ;-) [17:45] hey, how do I check the md5sum of an ubuntu image i just downloaded? [17:46] !md5 > jtaby [17:46] md5sum blah [17:46] jtaby, please see my private message === wildbat_ is now known as wildbat [17:46] Ubottu, I'm persian, not arabian [17:46] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:46] insign, so, imagine if i had no IO card -- i'd have no USB -- that's a pretty big usability problem, to me... otherwise, i'd say you need at least intermediate skills to have any "joy" from ubuntu at this point. people still intimidated by windows details should probably take it slow [17:47] !ir [17:47] #ubuntu-ir baraye Farsi zabanan mibashad ke channele rasmie goroohe Iran-ie ubuntu ast. #ubuntu-ir برای فارسی زبانان می‌باشد که کانال رسمی گروه ایرانی اوبونتو است. [17:47] jtaby, just do this: md5sum [17:47] ok thanks [17:47] something is still accessing a previous mount point for a device that was unplugged rather than dismounted, how can I fix this? [17:48] kupesoft, yeah, good old unix systems -- you can't fool them ;-) i think it might come down to "dirty tricks" like making a driver to recognize the special partition on the systems you *do* want, and then "damaging" the partition table to hide the "secret" one [17:48] bernz: It's not all that secret or important, I was just wondering if there was a quick way -- google wasn't helpfu [17:49] s/helpfu/helpful/ [17:49] bernz: Thanks :) [17:50] !sound [17:50] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [17:52] kupesoft, yeah, those kinds of techniques are usually documented on only one little web page, if at all, which is usually drowned in the sea of SEO and other detritus on the Web... google is useless these days :-] [17:53] Anybody know of a way to provide a media interface to apache to play media files over http with a built in interface to play, pause etc from the browser? [17:53] how do i update my version of libx264?? [17:54] how can I kill all processes accessing a mount point? [17:54] kupesoft, you could almost argue that ubuntu is behaving "badly" if the hidden flag is respected by other major OSes (assuming it's intention really matches its name), so maybe someone should petition the ubuntu masters to change this for jaunty onward :-) [17:54] or how do I force something to dismount that is hung? [17:54] Hi i'm having an issue with a network interface... well actually I believe the problem lies on the cox network but they are convinced that it is an issue with the "device" basically what is happening is they are not able to see a device connected to the modem on the IP... The box is running fine the network is loading with out error and I can ping the ip from my router is which is using the same gateway,netmask and is on the same net [17:54] I cannot get this mpt filesystem to work right [17:54] #ubuntu-fr [17:55] bernz: Well, it's just a flash in the partition table for a disk, it's nothing more magical than that -- respecting it is up to the OS, [17:55] lasivian, if you know which process is at fault, you can find it's PID and just 'kill -kill x' where x is the PID [17:55] bernz: s/flash/flag/ -- I just bought a flash drive :P [17:55] lasivian, probably also you should put 'sudo' in front of that [17:55] bernz: no, I don;t, there are no processes active that I think are accessing it [17:55] There are two packages installed: mail-notification and mail-notification-evolution. Still there is no plugin entry 'Mail Notification' to be seen in the list Evolution > Edit > Plugins > Plugin Manager. Why is that so? [17:55] try fuser -km mountpoint [17:56] kupesoft, heh, yeah, i mean it's more of a political or philosophical thing: if the hidden flag exists at all, should it not be respected by all OSes? if not, what is its use, and isn't a lack of its support a "missing feature" in an OS? and so on... but i don't want to actually get into that myself ;-) [17:56] t2phage: that just crashed Gnome [17:57] hi [17:57] ich bräuchte ubuntu sticker, [17:58] lasivian, maybe i don't understand: you attached USB storage, mounted it, used it, yanked it -- uh oh, something is still trying to use it -- now what? ... is that correct? [17:58] lasivian, try lsof | grep mountpoint | xargs kill -9 [17:58] <[UKSI]Sevi> hallo [17:59] bernz: i'm trying to move files to an mpt device but it keeps hanging during copy [17:59] and when it's hung it refuses to dismount [17:59] ? [18:00] <[UKSI]Sevi> hi [18:00] lasivian, so when it hangs, do you find the process that was doing the transfer, and kill it, and then it still isn't unmountable? [18:00] I was using these instructions: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32817 to mount it, but it doesn't like the file copy [18:01] lasivian, this might be off-topic, but can you set the device to be MSC/MSD instead of MTP? [18:01] bernz: oh snap, now I know what it was the terminal window was in the device [18:01] (not off-topic, but rather a tangent) [18:01] bernz: I don;t think so, it's a creatifve Zen [18:01] oooooooooooooooooooh, classic [18:01] bernz: I'm not sure I could be bothered to put together the bug report, it doesn't *really* matter, and in some cases, I'm sure it's nice for users who don't know how to manually mount to have access hidden partitions. [18:01] hmw Good morning. Here anyhow.. PM me when you get a sec.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/123453/ [18:01] s/access/access to/ [18:02] kupesoft, fair enough :-) [18:02] Amarok and gnomad have crappy interfaces and just dump all the files in the root [18:02] I've munged my testbox with Sbackup. Synaptic thinks my apps are installed, but they aren't in the menus, and when I try to run them from the cli, apt-get reports they aren't installed!? Ideas? [18:03] lasivian, perhaps it's about time someone made a tool just for the purpose of giving the user a zen-slap when attempting to unmount a device with a shell "inside" it :-D [18:03] bernz: too bad I lack the needed skills [18:03] * lasivian heads to lunch [18:04] after I do sudo apt-get install cgiirc, what else do I need to do to access it? [18:04] I've already set up apache [18:04] lasivian, well, as long as you have tons of time... you can always get more skills ;-) but time is only abundant to prisoners :-D [18:05] to run, but not necessarily to work with ircii [18:06] How do I get the file browser to be capable of reading and writing DVDRWs? [18:06] hi guys [18:06] I caught up with another problem while building openmovieeditor [18:06] while building it now shows: Lame Codec in libquicktime not found, reinstall libquicktime with lame enabled [18:06] which is better than prozilla? or a multithread download client can be used in cli [18:06] even though i have installed lame with libquicktime.. [18:07] hi, what does convert to searchable pdf? [18:07] or extract the text from png? [18:07] mohanohi, it sounds like you need to rebuild quicktime with lame enabled inside it (as opposed to just having lame installed somewhere on your system) [18:07] *hi, what does convert pn to searchable pdf? [18:08] pn ? [18:08] yes i gave command while installing like ./configure --with-lame while installing libquickitme.. [18:08] hey everybody - i need to make a command line based interface with slider bars aka alsamixer - is that curses or what? anybody know how to do the color sliders? [18:08] Dr_willis_AAO: eh... png [18:09] frog_, converting a image file to a searchable pdf. would be a neat trick. [18:09] but previously i didn't give that option and it installed anyway.. [18:09] mohanohi, you mean you built libquicktime after configuring using "--with-lame", or? [18:09] I've munged my testbox with Sbackup. Synaptic thinks my apps are installed, but they aren't in the menus, and when I try to run them from the cli, apt-get reports they aren't installed!? Ideas? [18:09] frog_, there are 'ocr' tools out to convert them to text.. that may work :) [18:09] not like that.. [18:09] Okay, so I'm trying to automate an FTP download of files named by date (ie 2009-01-12.tar). I can script the ftp connection and gets all right, but how do I get a variable of the name/date passed into the ftp client? [18:10] Dr_willis_AAO: yea, ok, i thought someone could recomend me something [18:10] mohanohi, see, if you say "installed" i don't know if you mean "grabbed a standard build and installed" or "built custom and installed" [18:10] frog_, ocr stuff is basicallywhat you want.. img -> txt -> pdf -- I guess [18:10] frog_: as Dr_willis_AAO said, try with ocr tools like ocrad or gocr [18:10] mohanohi, based on your description of the errors, it sounds like something wants a special build of libquicktime [18:10] sorry.. ubuntu is new for me.. i meant built custom and installed without givign that option.. [18:10] (and you have a "regular" build) [18:10] yes.. [18:11] okay, i think i'm with you now [18:11] but now i have to reinstall [18:11] perhaps you should remove the existing one, then do the custom build with the special options as necessary, and then install that [18:11] tozetre, date="$(date +%Y-%m-%d)"; do_something_with "$date" [18:11] how to uninstall the previous installation of libquicktime? [18:11] [18:11] Dr_willis_AAO, teeless: thank you [18:11] (i can't say what the exact problem is, only that it might help to do a "clean up and try again") [18:11] mohanohi, sudo aptitude remove libquicktime=version [18:12] There are two packages installed: mail-notification and mail-notification-evolution. Still there is no plugin entry 'Mail Notification' to be seen in the list Evolution > Edit > Plugins > Plugin Manager. Why is that so? [18:12] mohanohi, i don't know specifically for quicktime, but look for a file "INSTALL" or similar; it should contain the specific instructions to install and uninstall [18:12] when I run an OpenGL application I get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/123458/ [18:12] unop: sweet, I'll try that. Thanks very much. [18:12] (it might be as simple as 'sudo apt-get -r libquicktime' or similar) [18:12] nevermind. [18:13] frog_: maybe give a try to gscan2pdf, it supports ocr and is very nice tool :) [18:13] this is the way the world ends; not with a bang, but a whimper. [18:14] Hi, I've just installed 8.10, but I have no network, when I change eth0 to manual, it resets to auto on reboot, /etc/network/interfaces has no eth0 settings in it. When I manually ad the settings in interfaces, nothing changes [18:14] static07: hardwired or wireless? [18:14] hard [18:15] !network [18:15] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:15] where would i got to find the keyboard shortcuts for audacious- i used to know them but i forgot and i can't find them online (most annoying) [18:15] static07, i guess you are using "network manager"? [18:16] aye, fresh install [18:16] static07: google Wicd Network Manager that will solve your problem as that solved mine :) [18:16] static07, i know it's not the "easy" answer, but: http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/ [18:17] from their homesite, you can probably figure out which "magic" files its using to store your connection profiles [18:17] wicd is handy. [18:17] I've munged my testbox with Sbackup. Synaptic thinks my apps are installed, but they aren't in the menus, and when I try to run them from the cli, apt-get reports they aren't installed!? Ideas? [18:17] and then hack those [18:17] its -> it's (for BtAF) [18:17] unop: hokay, so, uh... in an ftp client (using yafc just for example), is there any way to access shell variables, such as that defined date? [18:18] My intrepid is booting into low graphics mode after installing nvidia 180.35 driver. how can I remove it? [18:19] Nevis: remove the driver? [18:19] how does one go about that? installation wasn't with synaptic, i used the script from nvidia [18:20] the intrepid repo has 180.11 [18:20] Nevis: ok maybe you can disable or remove it from hardware drivers, if not using the recovery mode from Grub and fixing xorg should do the trick [18:20] which I had before the attempt. [18:20] I wonder what reinstalling the repo version would do.. [18:20] I know recovery mode, how do you "fix xorg"? [18:20] Nevis: choose it as the option in there [18:21] should I try reinstalling the repo version? [18:21] <_DEL> anyone know of a good tutorial to compile a wireless driver? [18:21] Nevis: could do, but probably best to try and get a clean no drivers xorg [18:21] !compile [18:21] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [18:21] Nevis: before putting repo version on [18:21] Hi, do we know if Jaunty (9.04) will be shipped with Gnome 3 (2.3)? === luis_lopez is now known as luis_lopez_away [18:21] ok. how do I get that clean xorg going? [18:22] slabbeh: wrong channel try #ubuntu+1 [18:22] i have a load of avi divx movies that i need to convert into mpeg4 for my portable dvd player which needs avi's but encoded with mpeg4. any help? [18:22] what do I do after booting into recovery mode? [18:22] tozetre, hmm, i'm not sure [18:22] _DEL, http://wireless.kernel.org/ [18:22] Nevis: by using recovery mode an fixing xorg with it [18:22] unop: oh damn. I could just use SCP. Never mind my foolishness. :P [18:22] Nevis, it might be worth a look at the current one; if it contains settings for various resolutions, maybe some are just missing, and you can add them yourself... [18:22] Nevis: recovery mode gives options and provides commands [18:22] ok. I'll go try. [18:22] thanks. [18:23] i have a load of avi divx movies that i need to convert into mpeg4 for my portable dvd player which needs avi's but encoded with mpeg4. any help?

[18:26] no, audacious...

Do you suggest a better filebrowser? [18:27] is there a way to turn off the logging in/off notices in pidgin [18:28] Hi, I'm trying to generate a gpg key but I always get "Not enough random bytes available." ... Any tips on how I can prevent this? [18:28] XPS_M1330, i wish i could... i'm not a fan of its constantly greying out while it reads a simple bunch of directories [18:28] It says please do some other work to give the OS a chance to collect more entropy [18:28] But, even after dinking around for 5 minutes nothing happens [18:28] try dolphin ;) [18:28] in any case, i meant 'right-click -> Properties' and then the tab [18:28] Hey, I keep having installation problems. I got the ISO, checked its md5 sum, checked the cd when I booted up [18:28] yes I saw, thanks! [18:28] but when I install, it keeps giving me errors [18:28] bartek-, i *thought* it was collecting entropy -- that or counting bogoMIPS again [18:29] kinda weird that I configured Opera as the default web browser and it still opens htm files with firefucks [18:29] bernz: so just keep waiting it out? [18:29] bartek-, oh sorry, i thought you were explaining nautilus' rather frequent "jamming" [18:29] XPS_M1330, Please watch your language in this channel, thank you. [18:29] XPS_M1330: calling Firefox names hummmmmmm, well at least Firefox is much better than IE, and is also opensource, unlike Opera! [18:30] sorry did I mispell something? [18:30] XPS_M1330: This is a family friendly channel, mind the language. [18:30] sdcf [18:30] indeed, way better than IE!! And opensource. I agree. Sorry I didn't mean to offend, it just slipped === joborociroboroqu is now known as sdfc [18:30] XPS_M1330: oh Opera software make a resonablly nice product, but it would be much better I expect, if it was Open Source! [18:30] Where would I drop a networking based script that has to be run on startup before anything on the PC actually touches the networking modules [ghosting a MAC here] [18:30] sebsebseb: I agree! [18:30] I've munged my testbox with Sbackup. Synaptic thinks my apps are installed, but they aren't in the menus, and when I try to run them from the cli, apt-get reports they aren't installed!? Ideas? [18:31] ah, I got it [18:31] hi, does anyone know how to suspend a computer from command line? [18:31] sexcopter: I've seen it before, used an xset command. [18:31] !xset [18:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about xset [18:31] Or not. [18:31] Stevethepirate: Not every command has a factoid. [18:31] sexcopter, "man shutdown" ? [18:31] i was thinking the shutdown/halt/suspend command could do that.. or one of those commands had an option to do it... [18:31] In Ubuntu 8.04.2 I installed two packages: mail-notification and mail-notification-evolution. Still there is no plugin entry 'Mail Notification' to be seen in the list Evolution > Edit > Plugins > Plugin Manager. Why is that so? [18:31] some maybe alias's to the others === nicholas is now known as Guest54113 [18:32] bernz: shutdown doesn't have a switch for suspending, not that i see at least [18:32] can i use glade with bash? make bash scrit and use glade for GUI [18:32] XPS_M1330: You didn't say it, but they say it: Opera the fastest brower. Ha! try Konqueror [18:32] sexcopter, well, i'm out of ideas :-] [18:32] Stevethepirate: xset? not heard of that [18:33] I don't care about the "speed". The browsing speed depends more on the connection than the browser loading time [18:33] Where would I drop a networking based script that has to be run on startup before anything on the PC actually touches the networking modules [ghosting a MAC here] [18:33] XPS_M1330: not quite sure about that, but Konqueror runs faster than Firefox for me. [18:34] sebsebseb: good for you. but to me konqueror lacks basic features, which makes it a lesser browser === Sniper is now known as Guest91889 [18:34] hello every one new to irc, just admiring is their really 1500 users in this room [18:35] Stevethepirate, what about booting from the network itself? bootp? [18:35] XPS_M1330: maybe we make an exception for Opera, altough I hardly use that browser, but at the end of the day it is evil, well according to Richard Stallman. restricts our freedoms and locks people into a vender. Just like Desktop Linux users make an exception for Mac OS X, because it is Unix based, but people that use that still get locked into Apple. Anyway we are off topic! [18:35] <_VIM_> Guest54113: yes but most of them are probably afk/idle [18:35] Stevethepirate, if you're ghosting, you don't really need an OS, just enough to do the copying, right? [18:35] No [18:35] I mean spoofing a MAC [18:35] *sigh* [18:35] opera restricts freedom? [18:36] XPS_M1330: yes read articles on gnu.org in about free software section and that [18:36] XPS_M1330: that is in the philosophey section [18:36] Normally i would go sudo ifconfig eth0 down && sudo ifconfig hw ether de:ad:be:ef:ca:fe && sudo ifconfig eth0 up [18:36] Hi, I've just installed on a DualBoot with windows and everything works ok. Just that the User can't modify items on the Windows Partitions, but the Root can. How do you adjust that so that the User can work on partitions like the root can (permissions, groups or what)? Thx [18:36] hi [18:36] Guest54113, yes, but at any given time, only about 2 dozen appear awake, and only about half the users are actually awake/nearby :-) [18:36] hi i installed laptop-mode-tools,but how do i use them?? [18:36] k i like to figure her for sec to registure so i can see myself oout of being guest ???? [18:36] Stevethe1irate, you could do it in rc.local but thats one of the last things that gets ran. [18:37] CentHOGG: the normal user should be able to access the Windows partition [18:37] sebsebseb: ok. well even though it's an evil corporate software, it's been offering me the best browsing experience for 10 years, and no other browser comes close (except firefox after adding a bunch of addons) to its convenience [18:37] But I would like that to be run before my pc connects to the network [18:37] CentHOGG: maybe you got to set up permissions for your Windows partition a bit, so normal user can use it [18:37] mysql -p requires an input and it looks like that's why i can not add a & after it to make it run and run... :/ [18:37] sebsebseb: yeah I can access, just cant write [18:37] My system crashes every time I insert my password in the gksudo dialog window... what is going on?

[18:38] :) [18:38] CentHOGG, install/run the ntfs-config tool and it has some options to allow that - o belive [18:38] Stevethepirate, right, that might be tricky, because network cards try to get right in there as soon as they're plugged in... if you're trying to masquerade a MAC address, you probably need a card that can store the custom MAC address in non-volatile storage, so it's right there when the PHY powers up [18:38] XPS_M1330: wassup [18:38] shadeslayer: how's the M1530 with ubuntu? [18:38] Graphics drivers....... I need to install the drivers for the graphics card on my laptop, they are in this repo but i dont know how to add it as a source [18:38] git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel [18:39] CentHOGG: try what Dr willis said, plus I have a slightly bad way on how you can get the permissions. I say bad way, because you would be running root for more than one little thing [18:39] XPS_M1330: awesome,GNOME breaks down things a bit [18:39] bernz: Hmm, I could do this in windows np [18:39] can anyone help me diagnose that? [18:39] SURELY LINUX WONT MAKE IT 1-0 TO WINDOWS [18:39] KDE rocks,xfce is *light* [18:39] :D [18:39] shadeslayer: what do you mean, breaks down things? === ZeRo_FeniX_ is now known as ZeRo_FeniX [18:39] Stevethe1irate, and i can find 100+ things i can do in03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

[18:40] ok [18:40] like today my CPU frequency could not be activated,i was stuck at 2.10 Ghz [18:40] shadeslayer: did you try KDE? [18:40] I've munged my testbox with Sbackup. Synaptic thinks my apps are installed, but they aren't in the menus, and when I try to run them from the cli, apt-get reports they aren't installed!? Ideas?

I'm having a problem installing gtk2 themes where all of them keeps giving me a warning in Appearance saying that "This theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme engine is not installed" [18:41] shadeslayer: I used to run KDE4.1, I liked it a lot, but it was too buggy so I got exasperated and installed gnome instead. Got used to it, but now that 4.2 is out I'm gonna try it again [18:41] shadeslayer: as GUI Kubuntu KDE4 :( ,but Kubuntu KDE3 :) apps KDE3 :) KDE4 :D === eric is now known as talntid [18:42] !harddrive [18:42] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [18:42] eny polisz pipul hir??

Still there is no plugin entry 'Mail Notification' to be seen in the list Evolution > Edit > Plugins > Plugin Manager. Why is that so? [18:42] shame the KDE3 GUI got ruined by all that KDE4 rubbish [18:42] XPS_M1330: haha,you should try 4.2, you dont know what youre missing [18:42] shadeslayer: I read about a desktop environment I still have to try: FVWM2 [18:42] how can i solve this? [18:42] Dr_willis_AAO: Ok, but since Root can work normally, why can't the User just be enabled like root can (some setting somewhere?) [18:42] shadeslayer: I just downloaded it :) [18:42] XPS_M1330: btw does the m1330 get hot?? [18:42] Stevethepirate, well, one possible way, though super convoluted, is to modify udev rules to detect-and-do-nothing for your NIC, then when the system has booted to your shell, re-run udev with a different config, allowing it to "see" the NIC this time, but overriding the MAC [18:43] !pl | Hjub [18:43] Hjub: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl [18:43] shadeslayer: 4.2 looked like 4.1 when I tried it, but I guess I never gave it a proper look around, because I don't like KDE4 [18:43] XPS_M1330: do tell how it os [18:43] well, that didnt help much. still in low graphics mode. I tried installing 180 from synaptic. it removed 177. I'm going to reboot again. [18:43] *is [18:43] shadeslayer: I'm bit afraid that I would have to spend too much time to troubleshoot my computer [18:43] CentHOGG, you MOUNT the filesystem woth the proper permissions.. and the user can access it fully... thats all there is to it. :) [18:43] sebsebseb: KDE 4.2 is nice to you if you have a powerful graphics card [18:43] shadeslayer: yes. It's burning my legs right now [18:43] XPS_M1330: huh?? [18:44] :) [18:44] CentHOGG, and that tool i think sets up HAL to use those 'less secure' settings [18:44] yeah the M1530 does that too [18:44] shadeslayer: my graphics card is over 2 years old, but it's alright [18:44] XPS_M1330: http://samwel.tk/laptop_mode/faq [18:44] CentHOGG, or mount them manually with ntfs-3g command and the proper arguments, or via fstab.. :) again wit the proper options [18:44] laptop-mode [18:44] hi i need help getting an xbox 360 controller working for ubuntu on my comp does anyone know how to do this? [18:44] bernz: Surely I can just add the ifconfig commands to run in rc? [18:45] Stevethepirate, well, i could only say "hopefully", because i don't rightly know ;-/ [18:45] sebsebseb: ah :) kde 4.2 rocks,i cant even imagine what Jaunty will look like [18:45] shadeslayer: I meant, if I upgrade to another DE, like if I upgrade to ibex then install KDE4 I might have to spend a lot of time reconfiguring apps and f***ing around to make the wifi work, stuff like that [18:45] I'm having issues getting my ethernet card to show up and wondering if someone could help [18:45] shadeslayer: KDE3 :) ,but I still went with Gnome [18:45] :) wifi works perfectly for me,from first install [18:45] shadeslayer: KDE4 ewww, except apps got better [18:45] sebsebseb: personal choice [18:45] could anyone help me? [18:45] re [18:46] shadeslayer: ,but if they make a really nice looking Kubuntu KDE 4.2 :D [18:46] bernz: Ok, well.surely, rc{x} is run as root? [18:46] !xbox [18:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about xbox [18:46] hm [18:46] does "not contiguous" just mean "fragmented" [18:46] yes [18:46] Stevethepirate, i'd bet at least a few bucks on that, though i'm not certain [18:46] Fair enough. [18:46] How do I fix it? [18:46] sebsebseb: hehe,i love XFCE for the light DE,Kubuntu for eye candy,GNOME makes things easy to do i.e. daily tasks [18:47] shadeslayer: XFCE is alright yeah [18:47] Hfuy: what fs? [18:47] No idea. It's an Eee PC, so it's flash anyway - it may not be a big deal. [18:47] extsomething, I assume. [18:47] hi... how can i make the console beep? echo -e /a doesn't work [18:47] Stevethepirate, one question i'd have is: are rc{x} run *after* udev (at which point, the card probably becomes "alive", and it's too late to pretend to be another MAC without others on the network noticing, if that's the goal) [18:47] !beep [18:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about beep [18:47] paladin: \a [18:47] How do I hibernate in Ubuntu/Fluxbox? Is there a command I can run that hibernates? What program is responsible for hibernation? Thanks. [18:47] fragmentation shouldn't be an issue on ext [18:47] !hibernate [18:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate [18:47] bernz: Hmm, that could be true. [18:48] I wouldn't worry about it [18:48] Well, fragmentation will be an issue on any filesystem. [18:48] does anyone here use an xbox 360 controller for there ubuntu OS? i wanna try it for ZSNES on the comp [18:48] erUSUL: doesn't work either [18:48] Stevethepirate, the key is to figure out overall startup process for the distro you're using, to best pick the "wedge" point [18:48] I'm not sure it's that bothersome on an SSD with near zero seek times, though. [18:48] erUSUL: all I get is an "a" [18:48] would someone private chat me and help me change from guest to a register user? [18:48] Hfuy: indeed, but ext is generally happy unless it somehow manages to get 40% fragmented or something [18:48] Who would definitively be able to answer the questions though? [18:48] When you download ubuntu, which one is a live version: "desktop", "dvd", "alternative"? And how do I get the CRC to know if the download is fine? [18:48] Guest54113: just switch to a different unregistered nickname using /nick [18:48] it'll sort itself out [18:48] paladin: maybe is the built in echo. /bin/echo -e '\a' [18:48] It auto-defrags? [18:48] yes [18:49] In many ways we'd rather it didn't, since it'll exercise the flash [18:49] does it matter what filename i use for files in /etc/hal/fdi/information? I am trying to do https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/212073 [18:49] Also, the "non-contiguous" count seems to continually increase. [18:49] hwo do I few which GTK engines I have installed or what are the default for a fresh installed ubuntu intrepid ? [18:49] XPS_M1330, desktop is live [18:49] I've munged my testbox with Sbackup. Synaptic thinks my apps are installed, but they aren't in the menus, and when I try to run them from the cli, apt-get reports they aren't installed!? Ideas? [18:49] shadeslayer: do you have an led light that's a lock with a number 9 in it? [18:49] XPS_M1330: yeah [18:49] XPS_M1330, as for the CRC -- your download is guaranteed accurate (with some technical exceptions) by TCP protocol (used to download the image file) [18:49] erUSUL: thanks!!! [18:49] How do I find out what filesystems are in use? df -h doesn't list FS types. [18:49] exit [18:50] Hey bernz.. who would be able to answer the question? [18:50] shadeslayer: what is it about? it just got on today and won't come off! [18:50] I know that in windows, using a program like MAC makeup pushes a pre-load command onto its network stack. [18:50] XPS_M1330: see the fn key?? [18:50] Hfuy: "mount" command [18:50] From what I have heard. [18:50] bernz: all right. it's just that I stopped and resumed the download at some point [18:50] XPS_M1330: press FN+P [18:50] oCean_: They already are mounted, I just want to find out what FS is in use. [18:50] it should output * [18:51] like above [18:51] shadeslayer: it does nothing! [18:51] its basically a numpad [18:51] :O [18:51] wait what keyboard layout?? [18:51] Hfuy: "mount" (no arguments) outputs what is mounted + type + options etc [18:51] Stevethepirate, not sure, just watch the channel a bit, and those who Get It will make themselves known (i don't want to name anyone specifically, because my opinions of the Clueful are personal ;-) [18:51] Ah. OK. /dev/sdb1, which I think is the internal flash, is ext2. [18:51] Lots of things mounted on this machine. [18:51] XPS_M1330: i can help you reset the keyboard [18:51] shadeslayer: so THAT'S HOW you can use the numpad! I was wondering this eek [18:52] lol [18:52] proc, sys, varrun, varlock, udev, devshm, devpts, securityfs, binfmt_misc. [18:52] shadeslayer: "reset the keyboard"? [18:52] Is that ususal?! [18:52] XPS_M1330: num pad works then [18:52] bernz: my spam keys are autobound :D [18:52] as well as the num lock key [18:52] shadeslayer: did you get it with the 150$ LED screen? [18:52] XPS_M1330, if you're using a modern browser, it will resume the download correctly also (it has checks for "breakage") [18:52] Where would I drop a networking based script that has to be run on startup before anything on the PC actually touches the networking modules [spoofing a MAC here] [18:52] XPS_M1330: sorry?? [18:52] Hfuy: that looks fairly common [18:53] bernz: I'm using evil corporate opera :) [18:53] lstarnes: Crikey. [18:53] Is there a way to switch to the XFCE desktop enviroment without installing Xubuntu? [18:53] Stevethepirate, that's probably a bad idea; i won't say this channel is super strict, but people appreciate a lack of redundancy (and rightly so) [18:53] i have a que‭stion... i need to change my X configuration but xorg.conf hardly has ANYTHING in it anymore... what happened to this and how can i change X's settings? [18:53] bernz: Yeah i know. [18:53] Im getting eth0: No such device found, eventhough my network card comes up when i run lspci, any ideas? [18:53] I mean, I will post every 100 lines or so? [18:53] XPS_M1330, there's a lot of worse corporations than Opera, at least ;-) [18:53] On the upside, we managed to install compiz, which looks fairly impressive on an eee. [18:53] Praps every 200 [18:53] * Hfuy turns the desktop into a cube, and makes it spin around [18:54] Wootz0rz, etc. [18:54] Stevethepirate, or perhaps once an hour or less ;-) heheeh [18:54] shadeslayer: when you customize the laptop before ordering, you get to choose between the regular LCD screen or a fancy, slim LED screen that costs an extra 150$. It's slimmer, lighter, and more energy-efficient. I think it must be better visual quality also [18:54] * kristian_ wonders how Hfuy does that? [18:54] * shadeslayer does it too [18:54] bernz: yeah Microsoft and AOL [18:54] Is there a way to switch to the XFCE desktop enviroment without installing Xubuntu? [18:54] ctrl-alt-click-drag. [18:54] sebsebseb: yes, and lockheed martin! [18:54] Pointless. Zero usability bonus. [18:54] XPS_M1330: ah i get it, i have the CCFL variant,i didnt have the led option [18:54] But it makes Vista users drool. [18:54] bernz: Heh [18:54] XPS_M1330: lockheed Martin??????? [18:54] I need to fix this problem for a while. [18:54] though i wanted the LED [18:54] Photoguy: install xfce or xubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop^ [18:54] anyone know where the xorg.conf settings went?? [18:54] XPS_M1330: not heard of them [18:54] sebsebseb, well, i was thinking monsanto and stuff, but yeah, those promoters of laziness are also shun-worthy :-) [18:55] sebsebseb: one of the biggest arms manufacturer in the world [18:55] *in a while [18:55] Git repo's.. can anyone shed any light on what they are and how i get content from them [18:55] XPS_M1330: oh ok [18:55] Also, all the windows wobble like undercooked mince when you move them around. It's sickening. [18:55] comparing apples and lizards [18:55] Hfuy : i want teh cube. how do i get it? :o [18:55] kristian_: Install Compiz, plus all the supporting stuff it needs. [18:56] I seem to recall it was fairly painful to get going, but then, I'm used to windows, so all linux config issues seem painful to me. [18:56] say, Monsanto could be considered an evil corporation. they don't do open-source GMOs [18:56] * Hfuy ducks [18:56] XPS_M1330: run sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup in termina [18:56] *terminal [18:56] !ccsm > kristian_ [18:56] kristian_, please see my private message [18:56] shadeslayer: what does that do?

[19:16] eshear what are you doing to generate that error, what release of ubuntu are you using and have you added any software outside official repos [19:16] it was a naming issue; I wasn't aware ip_conntrack is sometimes called nf_conntrack [19:16] how can i login how superuser in ubuntu? [19:16] khirr: no, you can't. [19:17] !root | khirr [19:17] khirr: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [19:17] <_dbd_l12> eshear: i suppose that maybe it's just the "conntrack" package to install (not tested)?

(meaning it isn't saved, i have to enter it in everytime I do sudo) [19:20] KDB9000: that is the default [19:20] KDB9000 You can set the default time [19:20] khirr: also you need to make sure you know what the script is suppoed to do before running it with admin privs [19:20] KDB9000: check the man page.. there is a switch iirc [19:21] yes, is for mount a unit [19:21] khirr: ok, for a script in bash, you would do: sudo scriptname === fader|lunch is now known as fader [19:22] sebsebseb, no, it isn't. If i went into the package manager, put the password in, then closed it, if I go back in right away or within a minute or 2, it doesn't ask me for the password. I want it to ask for the password. [19:22] KDB9000: ok [19:22] KDB9000: well I don't know [19:22] Jack_Sparrow, Where do I set the default time? [19:22] ardchoille yes [19:23] Does anyone know of a way to install Windows on top of Ubuntu, like Wubi, except the other way around? I don't want to disturb Ubuntu, but I'd like to avoid using a second disk, or resizing my partitions. [19:23] XP, specifically. [19:23] KDB9000 One sec.. I agree with slart there is a switch [19:23] wine [19:23] #stardust [19:23] !virtualbox [19:23] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [19:23] FrozenFire vbox [19:24] FrozenFire: you can run Windows inside Ubuntu in a virtual machine, which will be fine except for 3D stuff [19:24] KDB9000: Jack_Sparrow it's something like timestamp_timeout in /etc/sudoers [19:24] FroxenFire: wine [19:24] FrozenFire: Virtualbox yeah [19:24] I already know of Virtualbox, and use it regularly. I want to install XP. I don't want Wine. I don't want a VM. [19:24] #stardust [19:24] Why there is no gmake command on my system? Is it the same as make? [19:24] Let's just assume I know what I want to do ;) [19:24] vbox good [19:24] There are two packages installed: mail-notification and mail-notification-evolution. Still there is no plugin entry 'Mail Notification' to be seen in the list Evolution > Edit > Plugins > Plugin Manager. Why is that so? [19:24] Having some networking [possibly firestarter] problems here... Can't configure eth1 to communicate with loacl network. [19:24] FrozenFire: Wubit is for noobs that can't partition their hard disk, just like a similar thing, but the other way round, would be for noobs that can't partition their hard disk [19:25] FrozenFire: hehe, well, lets assume that we dont know what you want to do :p [19:25] zimbres: on gnu-based systems such as most linux distributions, the version of make installed is gnu make. on bsd variants, gmake is gnu make and make is bsd make [19:25] sudo -k [19:25] FrozenFire: what you want I don't think is even possible [19:25] how much do hard drives of about 200gb cost, these days? [19:25] FrozenFire: Microsoft do not play nice with other OS's, neither do most people that program anything that is Windows related [19:25] dayo_: offtopic, but I just got 500g for $60 american [19:26] sebsebseb: Fair enough. Just wanted to know if it has been done, effectively. [19:26] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudoTimeout [19:26] Jack_Sparrow, thx [19:26] for use installer in gtk? in bash is apt-get but i will use gksudo, and what is the comand for install in grafic mode? [19:26] FrozenFire: Virtual machine is the way to have WIndows inside Ubuntu [19:26] sebsebseb: This is for running games that do not work well under Wine. [19:27] FrozenFire Lets assume you are asking in the wrong room [19:27] #nirvana [19:27] FrozenFire: oh and MS do sometimes play nice with open source and other OS's well kind of, but only if enough business customers demand it, but this is off topic [19:27] danbhfive: sorry. and thanks [19:27] khirr: the easiest way to install a package in graphic mode is to use synaptic === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [19:27] FrozenFire: I think you just need to install windows to a separate partition, and then restore your grub [19:27] khirr: However, use sudo for bash and use gksudo for gui apps needed admin privs [19:28] <_dbd_l12> how could issuing mkfs.ext3 on a sata disk (sda) interfere with grub/mbr on a working bootable install on another sata disk (sdb). I forgot cfdisk but mkfs ran fine. I reinstalled grub after getting error5 but i still don't get why this was happening... [19:28] still no luck. anyone knows how to fix intrepid that boots to low-graphics after installing an nvidia driver? [19:28] FrozenFire: dual boot and have a real Windows install for gamse that won't work in Wine or virtual machine [19:28] mean, for the command un my scrip [19:28] KDB9000 Did you get that info [19:28] danbhfive: If I'm installing Windows on a disk directly, it'll be on a different disk entirely. I'm not risking the Windows installer clearing off my development OS. [19:28] Jack_Sparrow, ya. I am testing it right now [19:28] k [19:28] khirr: if you're calling a gui app you need to use gksudo [19:29] gksudo "synaptic install smbfs", is it correct? [19:29] khirr: oh, no, use: sudo apt-get install smbfs [19:29] Just a note, by the way, I realize that many new users might not know what they're doing, but it's best not to jump to the conclusion that someone is new to Ubuntu when they ask questions like mine. I've been using Ubuntu for years, and know more about it than most. It's best to answer a question directly, than to make assumptions as to what the person _really_ means. [19:30] but i'd like install in GUI mode, is there a way? i have seen script that use that [19:30] khirr: synaptic is a graphical package manager, the command equivalents are apt-get or aptitude [19:30] yes, i want in grafical mode [19:30] khirr: I don't know of a way to do that [19:30] FrozenFire: that was the other guy, I already knew what you wanted [19:30] what command can i find out what is killing the hard drive, my system is slaming I/O activity [19:31] FrozenFire: when you said. Windows in Ubuntu partition. a bit like Wubi, but other way round [19:31] FrozenFire: starting the answers from bottom and working up covers all the chances, including those you haven't thought yourself and have considered them perhaps irrelevant to the issue. [19:32] Myrtti: I agree, it works in many cases, but it's infuriating to receive nonsensical answer like "Use Wine" or "Virtualbox," which do nothing to answer the initial question. [19:32] Especially when someone indicates that they know what they're doing ;) [19:32] FrozenFire What you are asking for help with is outside the scope of Ubuntu Support.. Thank You.. Perhaps a more open discussion channel on how to accomplish your task would be #Ubuntu-offtopic [19:32] hey guys, i'm having a problem with (it seems) the ivtv driver on 8.10. like 1/4 times the sound is all metallic. has anyone else encounterde this? [19:32] Jack_Sparrow: Yes, I'm finished. Just felt like ranting a bit ;) [19:33] obvioulsy [19:33] it used to happend pre 8.1 as well but it seems to be more common now [19:33] freedumMan, try 'top' at the console [19:33] im using a happauge 150 [19:33] Huufarted, its I/O activity not cpu usage [19:33] I know that, but a lot of times, the offending program will also be top (or near) with CPU [19:33] Huufarted, both cpu's are 1.3% [19:34] hi, how go i check if I have any open gl drivers installed?? [19:34] Huufarted, hard drive light is almost solid [19:34] freedumMan, try a 'netstat -an' to see if you have multiple users downloading from you?

[19:35] blubuntu-look right??/ [19:35] yes [19:35] Huufarted, nothing out of the oridinary [19:36] For some reason, Ubuntu flunks out on detecting my router's DHCP settings, I have to go into the network manager and set my IP address manually. This works fine, but the settings don't save, meaning I have to set them all over again every time I restart my system. [19:36] yes, i'm was using, now i'm trying with gdialog [19:36] freedumMan, try 'ps -ef' and see which ones seem to be going nuts?

I had the DHCP server turned off. :P [19:39] D-rew, well, good to hear you solved the problem :) [19:39] Titan8990: Worked like a charm, thanks. [19:39] freedumMan, so that found your answer for you? [19:40] Blatz, anytime [19:40] <_dbd_l12> Jack_Sparrow: well i'm glad it explains why i was having these grub troubles today ;-) [19:40] what is the following: vlc-plugin-esd, mozilla-plugin-vlc? [19:40] kristian_, does it not have a description in the repos? [19:41] _dbd_l12 I only skimmed it.. but what partition types were you running [19:41] Sweet. [19:41] Having some networking [possibly firestarter] problems here... Can't configure eth1 to communicate with loacl network. [19:41] kristian_, if you are using CLI I believe it is this to see a full description: sudo aptitude show vlc-plugin-esd [19:41] Huufarted, yup but i wish there was a way to find the program eating hard disk I/O usage [19:41] <_DEL> !compile [19:42] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [19:42] kristian_: vlc-plugin-esd allows vlc to use esd for sound. mozilla-plugin-vlc allows firefox to embed vlc for certain media [19:42] <_DEL> !driver [19:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about driver [19:42] How i can see thread count for same proccess? [19:42] how on earth do i kill X in order to install nvidia drivers? if i log in and do /etc/init.d/gdm stop, i get to a terminal i can't enter text to [19:43] freedumMan, if there is, I don't know it. However, that doesn't mean much. I'm glad you found your answer. [19:43] NemesisD hit clt-alt-f2, login. run sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop. do your nivida stuff, using sudo. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart X . ctl-alt-f7 to get back to gui, if needed is the normal way [19:43] black_eagle, different threads usually show up as different procs so you can just grep ps: ps aux | grep pocimlookingfor [19:43] Titan8990 : thanks for the cli command. :-) [19:43] Huufarted, thanks [19:43] Hello there D: [19:43] kristian_, np [19:43] the theme is yuck === rondnelly_ is now known as Rondnelly [19:43] but gdm is real rocking [19:43] Hi, All!

Did it ever work? [19:46] Easier question this time: Apparently, I'm suddenly not in the sudoers file. I'm the only user, other than root. I've been in the sudoers file until today. Do I have to drop to a root shell to fix this? [19:46] lstarnes: is there a place to find old packages ? I'm interested in libmdbodbc .. [19:47] !eol [19:47] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [19:47] Titan8990: Hmm, I can try that. [19:47] FrozenFire, select Ubuntu recovery mode from the grub menu [19:47] FrozenFire, you will be prompted to select "drop root shell" [19:47] Titan8990: Yes, I know how to drop to a root shell ;) I was just wondering if there was some known reason for this. [19:48] FrozenFire: maybe you're no longer in the 'admin' group? [19:48] Ubuntu 8.10. The only thing I can think of is that I added myself to the sshfs group [19:48] FrozenFire: using usermod? [19:48] FrozenFire, by default your first user is the admin group [19:48] nikos: you might be able to use http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [19:49] FrozenFire: to see your groups, type "id" [19:49] frostburn, unlike some other distros that use the "wheel" group [19:49] I've munged my testbox with Sbackup. Synaptic thinks my apps are installed, but they aren't in the menus, and when I try to run them from the cli, apt-get reports they aren't installed!? Ideas? [19:49] lstarnes: thank you [19:49] nikos: I don't think those repositories don't recieve anymore updates [19:49] Hrmm... Seems to have put me entirely in the fuse group. [19:49] That's odd. [19:49] Well, off to a root shell I go. [19:49] nikos: if you can use a newer version of ubuntu you defintiely should [19:50] lovely, nvidia broke my xorg.conf [19:50] Titan8990: Doesn't make a difference. [19:50] hi guys. I'm runing around in circles with a graphics driver (nvidia 180) problem. anyone has patience to help me out? [19:50] Stevethe1irate, did eth1 ever work? what type of interface is it? [19:50] lstarnes: hmm.. i'm in a strict deadline until tommorow so I can't really migrate everything to a newer installation overnight. thanks for the page :) [19:50] NemesiD: your's too? [19:50] !ask | nevis [19:50] nevis: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

Is there some kind of recovery tool i can use to try to recover this data? I havent written anything on the memory since. [19:59] lovre: what type of content? [20:00] lovre: there is a automated jpeg recovery tool [20:00] network-manager says I'm connecting using mobile broadband but I can't actually do anything on the internet... what could it be? [20:00] lovre: otherwise you could start by copying /dev/your-usb-device to somewhere [20:00] zash: i dont see how data type influents recovery, but no, its not images, text files and maybe some in binary format [20:00] and grepping [20:01] argh, halp. It seems like the most recent nvidia drivers i just installed put Load "type1" in the Module section of xorg.conf. X can't load that module though [20:01] zash: what would i get with grepping? since there are no files listed in the file allocation table === dtcrshr is now known as dtcrshr_out [20:01] lovre: you grep the raw partition for the actual data [20:01] there might be better ways [20:02] lovre: use photorec from testdisk package [20:02] but i dont know them [20:02] lovre, start by taking an image of the device, use dd_rescue [20:02] can someone please help? it's kind of urgent. :( network-manager says I'm connecting using mobile broadband (via a usb stick) but I can't actually do anything on the internet... what could it be? [20:02] lovre, have you checked in the .Trash directory where you deleted it from?

[20:21] Myrtti, explain [20:21] Titan8990: you can't tell that from whois. There is another command that you can use to find out what IRC client people are using, but using that on this channel will get you banned. [20:22] Titan8990: feel free to /whois me and guess what client I'm using. [20:22] what's a very light weight httpd server? [20:22] Myrtti, interesting, I already did [20:22] Myrtti : irssi? [20:22] n2diy "sudo tail -f /var/log/messages" and then plug in your device and look at the output to see if it detects the plug-in event [20:22] vjacob: boa; nginx [20:23] bernz, ok [20:23] vjacob: with more features you have lightppd or cherokee [20:23] Hi, atm I'm using pidgin for irc but for some reason I find it lacking. What irc client "should" I be using (Ubuntu, 8.10) ? [20:23] thanks erUSUL. I just found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_web_servers also [20:23] vjacob: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/wa-ltwebserv/index.html?ca=dgr-lnxw07LW-WebServers&S_TACT=105AGX59&S_CMP=grsitelnxw07 presents an overview of options [20:24] red-lichtie: irssi [20:24] red-lichtie, xchat is pretty great [20:24] red-lichtie, xchat [20:24] if i unexpectedly shutdown my computer, and rtorrent is running and downloading a torrent, is there any chance that the content may become corrupt? once my computer has started up again and i run rtorrent, rtorrent will do a hash check and resume download, so i assume there will be no uncorrect data when the torrent is done? [20:25] bernz, the USB is found, and assigned sda1, but Nautilus didn't open, as it used to do? [20:25] kristian_, i can't say for sure that it does, but it wouldn't even be beta-ready if it lacked error-detect-and-reget-bad-blocks [20:25] kristian_: correct; you can force a check on many torrent clients if you want to be extra sure [20:25] red-lichtie, what is 'lacking' on it? [20:25] on pidgin that is? [20:25] kristian_: that's my understanding; I've even heard of people feeding bad linux .isos downloaded normally fed into a torrent client to get fixed up [20:26] kristian_: that depends on the way you shutdown i suppose, if you mean unexpectedly but via the regular shutdown routine chances are all will be well .. if you yank out the power-cord .... [20:26] n2diy, maybe you have disabled "autoplay" or whatever it's called, in nautilus [20:26] if there are certain programs i want to use newer versions of then ubuntu has packages for, is that pretty easy? does it mess things up mixing packages with source compiled installs? [20:26] bernz, maybe, let me go check. [20:27] Does anybody here use Ampache? [20:27] Huufarted: pidgin doesn't have full support for the irc protocol and lacks features that other clients have such as mask-based ignores for specific types of messages or certain channel oprtation functions [20:27] tom760`: it certainly can mess things up if you compile them from source, you can try to enable backports [20:27] tom760`: that repo has newer versions of some packages [20:27] thanks! :-) [20:27] lstarnes, gotcha. Didn't realize he meant it was lacking for 'irc'. I thought he meant for the general IM protocols [20:27] Huufarted: Highlight (bold) lines (all of the lines that I post), audio notification if I'm in another window/on another desktop is a msg comes up with my name, simple "reply to xxx" without having to copy/paste name, etc [20:28] glitsj16 : yeah, power went, so pc loses power. [20:28] I downloaded a binary of cmake. I extracted to /home/me/cmake. I need to be able to access the binaries from anywhere so I need to use ln correct?

[20:32] * red-lichtie fires up synaptics and installs xchat [20:32] bernz : :-D anyways, since rtorrent did a hash check when i ran rtorrent again, i guess it would remove bad data if any, also when torrent is done rtorrent does a hash check so it should be 100%, because the .torrent file can not be corrupt otherwise i wouldnt be able to download in the first place. at least this is what im thinking now. [20:32] eseven73, drug free as of 8 days ago [20:32] eseven73, thank you [20:32] grats eseven73 [20:33] carpii: thanks, at least you gave me a real answer :) [20:33] eseven73, and thanks for attempting to insult me for explaining how the support proccess works here [20:33] haha, Titan8990, in other words, you ran outta bud 8 days ago :-D [20:33] lol served [20:33] i've got an ubuntu 8.10 loaded up right now. Skype doesn't seem to recognize my sound or webcam mic. Is it because the version is too old? looks like version two is the newest for linux [20:33] Titan8990: I'm on here 14 hours a day under a different nick, I think I know how #Ubuntu works [20:33] bernz, hehe, actually quit a job and will be need a new one :P [20:34] <_VIM_> this nick in fact :) [20:34] eseven73, then you are familar with the ask factoid :) [20:34] guys, i need an help plz :) === hoeq^_ is now known as hoeq [20:34] !ask | tehboriz [20:34] tehboriz: 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. :-) [20:34] Nevis, scroll up then [20:34] ah. :-) [20:35] and I thought I was being clever. :-( [20:35] i was just about to repaste lol [20:35] any ideas? [20:35] <_VIM_> Titan8990: I asked a simple question, it was not necessary to give me the !ask factoid, but whatever, lets drop it before the ops use the !ot factoid on us or worse :P [20:35] why not update to version two then? [20:35] !offtopic | _VIM_ [20:35] _VIM_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [20:35] <_VIM_> doh! [20:35] Sorry, I coudln't resist [20:35] <_VIM_> ;) [20:35] kristian_, yes, exactly. typical (i.e. useful) clients always verify that every block is "good", before marking the torrent complete [20:36] bernz : well, then i should be fine. :-) thanks for confirming. [20:36] _VIM_, actually if you were using your current nick, I wouldn't have said anything lol [20:36] Nevis, i have version two already [20:37] it sees my webcam and the test works [20:37] but the sound options are really weird, none of the options work [20:37] anyway of defraging an ntfs-portable hdd in xubuntu? [20:37] what's the best text editor for let's say, HTML / CSS and such that would allow to do search and replace in all open documents, etc... thanks [20:37] speaking of webcam. what's the easiest way to use yahooIM with webcam on ubuntu? [20:38] !best | gafir [20:38] gafir: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [20:38] johan12, gparted *might* be able to do it [20:38] I've a ubuntu box and I'd like to connect it dorectly to a Winxp box. Do I need a crossover cable ? [20:38] guntbert: the most appropriate [20:38] johan12: there is no ntfs defrag utlility for linux that i know of [20:38] any way of emulating? [20:38] guntbert: I am using gEdit but it doesn't allow to do searcha nd replace within more than one document, there is a plugin but i couldn't make it work [20:39] LakesProse, most modern NICs are auto-sensing, making a crossover cable unnecessary; you should be fine with anything [20:39] johan12: emulate what? [20:39] defrag-app? [20:39] bernz: thanks :) [20:39] ciao!

Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [20:40] ehy [20:40] @gafir, Could VBox a windows and use dreamweaver I believe it does it. Nvu might do it too I'm not sure I never really messed with it. [20:41] I dual-boot XP and Ubuntu on my laptop. Why would I get good wireless reception in XP and only like 5% with constant drops in Ubuntu? Can I fix this in software because XP is proving my hardware is fine? [20:41] ZeRo_FeniX: I just think it's kind of sad to use dreamweaver just for search and replaces. that no text editor on linux can do more than 1 file at a time :( [20:41] if i need to watch a film where the audio is wma which would be the best app to use??? [20:42] Nevis, do you know? [20:42] !list [20:42] 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 [20:42] gafir, technically vi and grep can handle it with a bit of regex [20:42] speaking of webcam. what's the easiest way to use yahooIM with webcam on ubuntu? === FarmCretin_ is now known as FarmCretin [20:42] Huufarted: I've tried both too, but it's terminal based, and it's kind of tough just to do little search and replaces around [20:42] hello! [20:42] anyone using hugin? [20:43] @gafir, I haven't done much in linux yet so I'm not really sure. I was just suggesting because I use dreamweaver for all of my web design and program because of it's direct upload capabilites. Granted mine is a much older version because I don't want to pay to upgrade but it still works great. [20:43] for me it complains about missing enfuse command [20:43] gafir, are you looking for a WYSIWYG editor or just a text based one? [20:43] Hello ! [20:43] if i need to watch a film where the audio is wma which would be the best app to use??? [20:43] Would you mind helping me not being killed by my gf ? [20:43] !anyone | anger_ [20:43] anger_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [20:43] Huufarted: just text based, don't care about wysiwyg, but just something that can allow me to do like replace something in ten different html files at once [20:43] within opened documents [20:44] satansaunt, tried mplayer already? [20:44] Huufarted: I like gEdit but it doesn't offer this functionality [20:44] is there an alternate version of skype for ubuntu that works? [20:44] yeah, smplayer, vlc [20:44] gafir, ever use Notepad++ on Windows? If so, apparently 'scite' is the Linux program it's based off of and it is in the repositories [20:44] I installed her an Ubuntu to try, and now her windows won't boot. I installed Ubuntu on a physically different hard drive I added, hoping the windows hard drive would be left untouched, but when I try to boot on the windows hard drive, I have grub popping up with an "error 17" [20:44] those are the ones that supposedly play all the codecs...they've been great until now... [20:45] Huufarted: I have used Notepad++, I like it, that's pretty much what i'm looking for. I have instaleld and used Scite. I was wondering if there was another program than scite. [20:45] satansaunt, because the wma/wmv protocols are very proprietary, there is no open-sources alternative that provides quality like the native Windows applications, unfortunately. [20:45] guntbert, it would be useful to know if someone has actually managed to create panorama pictures with hugin [20:45] Huufarted: but thanks for your help [20:46] !grub | Ulrask [20:46] Ulrask: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [20:46] When I boot the Ubuntu hd, I can't try to see if there is a "windows" option as, for some reason, the PS/2 keyboard never worked outside of a graphical manager or the bios [20:46] or with any other software [20:46] gafir, others are "geany" and "Eclipse" [20:46] Plus, I can't do any windows restore as the system was sold with Windows preinstalled and the CD was neither never shipped with or lost long ago [20:46] gafir, some people swear by them, others abhor them [20:46] anger_ I use Hugin, on Ubuntu 8.10-amd64, and I have created many panoramas successfully. [20:47] ok, i'll check those. I know Eclipse, but not geany [20:47] thanks [20:47] gafir, yw [20:47] anger_ I recall having to noodle a few things around to get it working properly, but I don't recall what they were. [20:47] anger_: so your question should be something like: "How can I create panorama pictures with hugin?" [20:47] Thanks dayo_ for the link although I already read that before asking [20:48] Huufarted: I'm trying Geany, thanks for your help. [20:48] Ulrask, do you atleast have the cd-key for your windows install? [20:48] Aethelred, what do you have as enfuse executable? [20:48] you're welcome, gafir [20:48] Err yeah should be somewhere in the documentation ZeRo_FeniX [20:48] guntbert, I know how it's supposed to work [20:48] guntbert: I think his question is if anyone else is getting the same error he gets, and - if so - how they were able to fix it. [20:48] will i get any joy if i try to use windows media player in wine?? i haven't wmp in 5 years...at least [20:49] Anyhow I don't think system restore would be any good, as the keyboard never worked outside of a graphical windows manager (neither grub nor the windows "F8" menu ever reacted with this kboard) [20:49] anger_ well, I don't know. I guess I can check. Is this a separate executable, or is it in Hugin? [20:49] Ulrask, in that case, if all else fails you could bittorrent a copy of the cd and burn it a disc, I believe they are actually dvds now. Fair game in my opinion since you have the CD-key. [20:49] Unless you have an idea how to make it work (enabling legacy USB didn't do any good.) [20:50] ulrask, it should be mostly a matter of getting ahold of a windows MBR/boot sector for GRUB to use; it sounds like you are using a USB kbd, with no legacy support in the BIOS (or disabled) [20:50] anger_:, Aethelred : all right, I give up :-)) [20:50] how come outfile="run $i fe $gen txt bla" echo $outfile [20:50] Aethelred, it should be a separate executable but it seems to be missing from ubuntu [20:50] does print txt bla? [20:50] Aethelred, in preferenced in the enblend tab [20:50] ultrask, you should be able to unjam yourself with a windows MBR/boot sector if you can copy one from another working XP installation [20:50] Nah for some reason guntbert even a PS/2 keyboard don't work on this motherboard. You have any idea what else could cause that ? [20:51] Ulrask: excuse me? [20:51] Ah yeah that could be a solution bernz, how do I obtain it from a working windows install and how could I copy it ? Any software name I can google ? [20:52] anger_ the "Enfuse executable" listed in my prefs is: enfuse [20:52] Sorrt guntbert I meant bernz [20:52] I'm no good at this multiplayer ICQ [20:52] ulrask, search for utilities with 'mbr' in the title, like 'copy-mbr' or something similar [20:52] Ulrask, also check out "boot disk" sites; they usually have these kinds of tools [20:52] Aethelred, do you have also the enfuse executable somewhere? Can you check the package where you got it? [20:53] is it me or does the default calculator in ubuntu suck major ass? [20:53] it's giving me all kinds of wrong answers [20:53] <_VIM_> !ohmy [20:53] Please watch your language, attitude, and topic to help keep this channel friendly and helpful. Remember, there are kids here! [20:53] Ulrask, i think one of the utils is just called "bootsect" [20:53] anger_ already looking. :) [20:53] Just something random but everytime I read Ulrask I think Ultralisk. [20:54] Titan8990, still having problems with my dual-network setup.. just spent the last hour trying out various ideas.. Still broken.. Willing to spend some time helping? [No traffic on eth1 on an internal network, eth0 is working fine on dhcp'd external network] [20:54] <_VIM_> onthefence928: besides, ubuntu has over 30K packages, im sure there's at least 10 calculator apps you could try if you don't like the default one :) [20:55] icewaterman: what are you trying to do? [20:55] im trying to install a wireless driver, i dont kinow how to build it after downloading the zipped file [20:55] Stevethepirate, have you brought down eth0 to ensure traffic is moved using eth1? [20:55] Ulrask, basically, you will copy sector zero (the boot sector) from the primary (boot) disk of a working windows box (laptop nearby, etc)... to a file... of size 512 bytes [20:56] guntbert: doesnt matter, i want to echo "foo $x bar $y foo2" and it only prints foo2 [20:56] obi: what model is your wireless card? [20:56] _VIM_: well before i get a new one, any idea why the program is rounding everything? [20:56] Stevethepirate, also, does eth1 get a dhcp address? [20:56] ciao a tutti [20:56] Ulrask, then you will place this file on your ubuntu's boot partition (perhaps/probably all the same on most systems), and then you can point grub to it and do a chain load (i think)... see grub manual for details... it's not hard, but takes some reading and learning [20:56] <_VIM_> onthefence928: that's the reason I stick with Ubuntu, so much software for it, it's mind boggling, and the community of course :) [20:56] Stevethepirate, I know I already asked but I missed the reply [20:56] !other peoples feelings [20:56] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:57] ToKico: atheros 5007 i think, i have the proper driver i believe, so thats not the issue, its installing the driver. [20:57] ok so i just reinnstalled ubuntu... i have a seperte /home part. how do i go about reinstating other users...when i try to add them and associate their old/existing /home directories, it won't let me as it says the destination (for /home/user) already exists? [20:57] <_VIM_> onthefence928: i can look at some of them and check, but offhand I don't have an answer just yet for that, you gonna be on for awhile? [20:57] icewaterman: ok, no idea, sorry, it just looked kind of weird :-)) [20:57] floodbot1, ffmpeg [20:57] obi: you're trying to use ndiswrapper? or it is a native linux driver and trying to compile it? [20:57] _VIM_it just rounds everything to whole numbers [20:58] ToKico: its madwifi driver [20:58] Hello. How do i see if I have my soundcard installed? (ubuntu server, no GUI) [20:58] guntbert: echo "bla foo bar" should NEVER print only "bar" [20:58] j0nr, i'd probably recreate the accounts on the new separate /home partition, and then just copy the old user's home dirs over the newly created ones [20:58] Nicador: lspci | less [20:58] Tokico:so i think the answer to your question is compile. its a native driver right? [20:59] how does one install the latest Jaunty? [20:59] My computer does not see the floppy drive, ant suddestions? [20:59] When did they stop making opera for Ubuntu?

[21:03] obi: have you tried it? [21:03] vi/vim/emacs do not support completion. [21:03] CaneToad, it cant yet? [21:03] snowcomb: obviously, and neither are they ides (I'm an emacs user fwiw with an extensive .emacs collection) [21:03] ToKico: no i dont think that works for the particular driver i have. i think i jsut need to learn how to build from the .tar file [21:04] snowcomb: though I have limited completion for some languages in Emacs now [21:04] Correct. As to an actual IDE, I've no idea. [21:04] ZeRo_FeniX, if it's a GUI application, use gksudo [21:04] !gksudo | zero_fenix [21:04] zero_fenix: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"!

[21:05] hanasaki, the current load on the CPU or the current speed of the CPU in a mobile CPU? [21:05] obi: it should be how any "normal" package compiles: extract the tar, and inside of the folder containing the extracted file, run "./configure", then "make" and then "sudo make install". That should install it. [21:05] when i downloaded, the MD5 sum checked out [21:05] how can i make firefox go back when i hit backspace button on keyboard? [21:05] And what if I'm using the KDE gui how would I go about doing that?

[21:06] ZeRo_FeniX: try kdesudo [21:06] Caplain : doesn't happen here. :-/ [21:06] a blunt vapros possible? that it is better to reinstall firefox to delete the older version, or not important? [21:06] snowcomb: top does cpu load not clock speed [21:06] kristian_: ask in #firefox [21:06] Huufarted : yes, tried that, doesn't work. :-/ [21:06] hanasaki, right-click a panel, add to panel, "CPU Frequency Monitor" [21:07] guntbert : alright, thanks. :-) [21:07] guntbert: lol [21:07] What's a good site ripper for Ubuntu?

I use an Intel Atom and it works fine [21:08] I'm running 8.10-amd64, upgraded a while ago from Gutsy. Since the upgrade, my vmware server (is gone)/(doesn't work). I've never looked into it before, but I'd like to fix it now. My old .vmdk files (et al) are still there (a WinXP and a 32-bit Ubuntu). I'd like to install vmware again and have the old virtual machines work. Which vmware product and version should I install?

(it is overclocked) not overclocked it is a 2.5 dual core amd x2. even under heavy lead that cpu applet never goes over 2.5. any ideas? [21:09] Huufarted: ok... hoped you could help me... [21:09] Stevethepirate, I wasn't talking about acting a server, can it recieve an address using a dhcp client (dhclient in ubuntu), I am trying to verify that the interface is functioning properly before we get in to routing troubleshooting [21:09] how do i undo a command i just executed in terminal [21:09] !undo [21:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about undo [21:09] shadeslayer: it depends on the command [21:09] guntbert : try to remember. :-P [21:09] name of one programs for edition of Icons .ico for gnome? [21:09] sudo apt-get autoremove ubuntu-artwork [21:09] Hanasaki, it just reads from what the OS has. I don't know the filename it reads it from. It's the OS that's reporting it wrong, then [21:10] it un-installed alot of packages [21:10] hanasaki, please stand by [21:10] shadeslayer: for that you would need to reinstall the ubuntu-artwork package [21:10] kristian_: no chance, its been more than 3 months :( [21:10] Huufarted: ok.

I can only tell you what I used that worked. [21:13] how to transfer files between two xp and ubuntu PCs? [21:13] Stevethepirate, go ahead and run: sudo dhclient eth1 [21:13] obi: because you have to change into the extracted files. imagine that the files extracted to a certain "madwifi-obi" folder. you have to type "cd madwifi-obi" to change into that directory.

[21:29] ZeRo_FeniX, not at all [21:29] ZeRo_FeniX: linux isn't a programming language, it's a kernel [21:29] ZeRo_FeniX, php is very (very) loosely based on C, which most Linux software is written in. === eseven73 is now known as _VIM_ [21:29] ZeRo_FeniX: depends how you define linux coding. you can write applications for linux in PHP if you want. [21:30] ZeRo_FeniX, linux uses 'c' mostly and php is recognizable as merely looking like it could be related to c [21:30] Fair enough. [21:30] php should generally be avoided at all costs though [21:30] php is not a programming language. It is a scripting language. Treat it as such and you will do well. [21:31] Huufarted: it is a programming language under some definitions of the term [21:31] i need to vnc into my other computer (ccfl for screen dieing) and it keeps telling me connection to host was closed [21:31] PHP is very much a programming language in my opinion. It consists of all of the logic and boolean functions that most programming languages have. [21:31] Could somebody maybe try it for me? If it is a bug indeed, it should be fixed in Jaunty [21:31] lstarnes: well, a scripting language is a programming language, its just dependent on a script interpretter [21:31] zero_fenix, treat it as a scripting language, don't treat it as a programming language.

[21:34] amsg :D [21:34] Huufarted: yeah [21:34] sorry and thx [21:34] cristi, what are the partitions formatted as for the file system? [21:35] Huufarted: ubuntu is on ext3, while the other primary is ntfs [21:35] Huufarted: should i set the boot flag on the ntfs partition? [21:36] cristi, couldn't hurt. The installer should still see it I would think. [21:36] Huufarted: note that i struggled to make so that the ntfs partition not only that is primary, but also the first partition from left to right [21:37] Cristi, I did it a bit easier.

[21:39] hi [21:40] sadiq_: that's a library not a header [21:40] Huufarted: there's a kubuntu-desktop package but I think it's just a bunch of dependencies to make it east to install kde. I dont think it works in reverse does it? [21:40] What does standard ubuntu use as it's gui? [21:40] chuckh19581, listen to what _VIM_ said about !puregnome [21:40] gnome ...

Did around 30 problems [21:43] I think. [21:43] tho maybe its changed since 2007 [21:43] Err I'm a gamer and I'm using Wine [21:43] a master password thats recoverable seems pretty dumb to me [21:43] Titan8990: surely, route -n should show this? [21:43] oHnoez: You still can't. The whole point of a master password is that you can only access your passwords if you know it. If there was a recovery mechanism, that would defeat the purpose. [21:43] not only most games work, although sometime with a little bit of messing around [21:43] Ulrask: and what are you playing on wine?

[21:44] sadiq_: libopenal-dev does exist if you need libopenal's development files [21:44] I have tried neither [21:44] Stevethepirate, yes it should [21:44] ah its using a plaintext brute forcer, like how you decrypt zip files [21:44] Ulrask: yeah i had wow on wine, it works pretty nice, indeed [21:44] Look at the AppDB on winehq.org for a list of compatibility [21:44] How likely am I to break something updating with apt-get's dist-upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10?

[21:46] hi what is the lightest DE for ubuntu?? [21:46] sadiq_: libopenal.so.0 isn't in the Intrepid repositories. Ubuntu generally removes old versions of libraries when new ones come out and nothing else in the repository requires the old one. [21:46] uhm, whatever, i still prefer a dual boot, and the windows installer says that it can't find any usable partition to install windows, can anyone help me out with that? [21:47] Cristi: Did you install Ubuntu before Windows? [21:47] rww, so the program I'm trying to run is too old?? [21:47] rww: yes i did [21:47] Titan8990: Sorry, could you help me do that? 192.168.0.0\24 is the local eth1 network... [21:47] Cristi: Are you trying to install Vista, XP, or another version?

[21:48] iptables = firewall rules [21:49] rww: i created a primary ntfs partition and it still doesn't work. why and how can i fix this? [21:49] hi [21:49] Hi, where might I find Alpha 5 link?

[21:49] Release date says today [21:49] how do I go about checking and installing graphics card drivers??? [21:49] AaronMT: today on what timezone? [21:50] AaronMT: if it's out, the channel topic of #ubuntu+1 will link to it. [21:50] <_VIM_> ... i just burned a alpha 4 :( [21:50] <_VIM_> disk* [21:50] <_VIM_> oh well [21:50] i've got a prob .... the /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml is empty , there is nothing in it [21:50] Myrtti, I'm simply looking at the Release Schedule which dates the 26th. [21:50] Cristi: When I installed Vista I had to mark the partition bootable and active through the command prompt in Vista's installer. I'm trying to figure out how to do it in XP now. [21:51] AaronMT: and it's still 26th of Feb... for ten minutes... here in Finland... [21:51] AaronMT: what I'm saying "26th of Feb" is a bit fuzzy timeframe [21:51] Cristi: Try the guide at http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/68 , maybe? [21:51] rww: i set the boot flag on the ntfs partition with gparted but that doesn't work [21:52] Stevethepirate, try: route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth1 gw 192.168.x.x [21:52] Stevethepirate, and use route del to delete the existing route [21:53] 192.168.x.x: Unknown host [21:53] ha? [21:53] Must this be 192.168.0.1? [21:53] hey guys- any idea why the Wireless Network Authentication window won't allow me to select WPA2 as the wireless security. I've used this wireless card to connect with previous distros... [21:54] Cristi: ( unfortunately, the server of the guide I usually use doesn't seem to be working for me right now :(: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm ) [21:54] Stevethepirate, yes [21:54] 196.24.233.1 is the gw of eth0 [21:54] the external NIC's network [21:54] noxville@virtue:/var/www/forums/styles$ sudo route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth1 gw 192.168.0.1 [21:54] SIOCADDRT: No such process [21:55] <_VIM_> rww does google cache have a archived copy of that site? [21:55] how starting samba? [21:55] <_VIM_> or Coral [21:55] I need help killing the wineserver [21:55] _VIM_: I can't find one. [21:55] <_VIM_> k [21:55] Stevethepirate, have a look at man route, maybe it is different in ubuntu then the distro I am currently on, but I wouldn't think so... [21:55] rww: this how to looks very nice, i'll give it a try [21:56] I try killing with "sudo kill PID" and even with the system monitor, but it is not ending. How can I kill that wineserver process [21:56] ed0n0n, try 'kill -9 ' [21:56] Could it be my NIC drivers borked? [21:57] I installed Xubuntu on a virtual box and I restarted it but now the two utility bars at the top and bottom are gone. how do I get them back? [21:57] as root : ps -A | grep wine, and then kill -9 (all PIDs) [21:57] ed0n0n, it WILL kill it, but it doesn't allow the program to clean up after itself. It just kills it NOW [21:57] rww: it's not very clear though, should i leave unpartitioned the space for windows? i formated it to ntfs [21:57] Huufarted: Yea! What does -9 stand for? You mean NOW? === adam is now known as Kirsch [21:57] Titan8990: Like, _SURELY_, if I have set eth1 to be statically to 192.168.0.1\24, then it should be able to ping clients? [21:57] ed0n0n, -9 is the signal it sends and it means kill it without regard to whether the program really wants to. [21:57] hello [21:58] !hi | meximan [21:58] meximan: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:58] err... wait. wrong one [21:58] Cristi: leaving it unpartitioned, then creating the ntfs partition in the Windows installer, might work better. [21:58] Huufarted: Thank you :) [21:58] !welcome | meximan [21:58] meximan: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [21:58] Stevethepirate, not with the routes that are configured [21:58] lol darn it. that wasn't it, either. [21:58] rww: that's a good idea, i'll give it a try [21:58] hey all, i'm having a little hacker issue on my server, somehow they keep getting into my server and I have no idea how, is there any guide that may be able to help? [21:58] no problem, ed0n0n. Always try a standard 'kill' first, if that doesn't work, then use -9 [21:58] Stevethepirate, looks at your routes for eth1 and compare it to eth0 [21:59] I succeeded! 180.35 runs ok now. Thanks for the help guys. [21:59] Can someone walk me through how to set up my eclipse IDE with apache so I can run/debug a web app I'm working on? [21:59] Kirsch, when they're logged in, use 'netstat -an' and find out what port they're connected on. That will tell you what service [22:00] Huufarted: sounds like a good idea, any other tips? or do u think that would be the ideal answer? [22:00] Kirsch, that's the best and fastest way to find out how they're getting in. [22:00] kirsch, 'netstat -an' will show all current connections on the box and on what port/IP they're connecting on. [22:01] hello! [22:01] !hello | starvingartist [22:01] starvingartist: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [22:01] Titan8990: I'm sorry.. I'm really tired, and confused here.. x( Could you help me out a sec please? Spent the entire day fixing linux problems x( [22:01] :) i love ubuntu! [22:01] yo yo yo [22:01] Stevethepirate, let me see if I can find a good article for you [22:01] starvingartist: not bad is it [22:02] nope nope! [22:02] is there anyway to get amarok 2.0.1.1 on ubuntu besides compiling [22:03] not sure, Unko. The repositories have 1.4... [22:03] i just had a problem with my sata cdrom. it was "seen"by the system as /dev/sr0 and now it's gone. other than reboot is there another way to "get it back" ? [22:03] Huufarted: got it thanks! [22:03] glad to hear it, Kirsch. [22:03] unko: theres the nightly buillds [22:03] Stevethepirate, I found an article that looks promising, but it will require that you restart networking via /etc/init.d/networking restart [22:03] Stevethepirate, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/configuring-static-routes-in-debian-or-red-hat-linux-systems.html [22:03] i'm wondering...can i read newsgroup stuff with comcast?! [22:03] Stevethepirate, it explains how to set the static routes in /etc/network/interfaces [22:03] unko: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/05/howto-install-latest-project-neon.html [22:03] i have comcast, but i want to learn how to use the usenet!! [22:04] Stevethepirate, and I am sorry, but I have to eat dinner, I will be back in about 30min if you are still in need of assistance [22:04] HeXiLeD, SATA drives are designed to be able to be hot-swapped (EXCEPT THE MOUNTED HARD DRIVES!!!!) so can anybody else think of a reason not to unplug the SATA cable and plug it back in? [22:04] starvingartist, your internet provider doesn't have have any bearing on if you can. You just need to find a usenet service to use. I'd recommend Google Groups [22:04] Huufarted ?? [22:05] Huufarted: unless its powered off gracefully and power to the controller is turned off you can blow the IDE [22:05] wrong person? [22:05] no. just wrong answer [22:05] bah.... that sucks. So just E-SATA will allow it apparently, then. [22:05] what about a binary Usenet Service for free, does any ones knows? [22:05] Huufarted: you can only do that sort of thing with advanced hardwares that allow you to power off the drive [22:05] Titan8990: will be here. [22:05] Huufarted: yes that will be fine, internal sata wont do that [22:06] Huufarted: dell perc controllers allow it too [22:06] well that sucks... I thought E-SATA just meant the SATA cable was mounted to the outside of the case [22:06] learn something knew every day... [22:06] Huufarted: it is, id imagine youd need software to control the system somehow [22:06] o ok. is there a way to use usenet readers through a console with a comcast isp?? sorry for the complicated questions..it would be cool to have a gui news reader or a console news reader on ubuntu. ....any other things besides google? i'm a little hesitant with them... :P [22:07] starvingartist: Comcast doesn't provide its own usenet server, so you'd need to get usenet service from a third party company. [22:07] I'd like to run a process with a specific user/group combination for which there is no user defined (specifically, daemon:adm). 'su' and 'sg' need the user to be defined in system files AFAICS, GNU su would work I think, as would chpst from the runit package, but is there any way to do this with standard tools in a reasonably-default U8.10 install? [22:07] starvingartist, that is a question for Comcast. [22:07] what about a binary Usenet Service for free, does any ones knows? [22:07] starvingartist: try a few, see what you like. thunderbird does news stuffs i believe [22:08] o ok..great!! so i should look for newsnet services? got it? but like ktstzo asked...is there a free one?! [22:08] I lost the top and bottom bars in Xubuntu, how do I get them back? [22:08] thank you for all the help btws! [22:08] rww: it still doesn't work, can't find any devices to install on [22:09] ZeRo_FeniX: run xfce-panel [22:09] I'm running 8.10-amd64, upgraded a while ago from Gutsy. Since the upgrade, my vmware server (is gone)/(doesn't work). I've never looked into it before, but I'd like to fix it now. My old .vmdk files (et al) are still there (a WinXP and a 32-bit Ubuntu). I'd like to install vmware again and have the old virtual machines work. Which vmware product and version should I install? [22:09] ZeRo_FeniX: i'd ask in #xubuntu [22:09] rww: i don't even get to the part where i should create partitions [22:09] Aethelred: you wil need to compile the vmware kernel from intrepid [22:09] Cristi: what part /do/ you get up to? [22:10] Aethelred: install vmware from fresh and you will be fine [22:10] ZeRo_FeniX: rightclick on desktop, select Settings/Settings Manager, choose the "Panel" menu and add them from there [22:10] does anyone know how to change the colour of the menu (with File, Edit, etc.)? i've tried changing themes from Appearence Preference, but it's still the same. [22:10] starvingartist, you want to look for 'usenet' or 'newsgroups', not 'newsnet'. That's not a real term. [22:10] rww: of that tutorial? none basically, because i skipped the grub one [22:10] ActionParsnip: Any particular version? Is it in the repositories? [22:10] !vmware | Aethelred [22:10] rww: i just have some unused file space out of extended where i want to install windows [22:10] Aethelred: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [22:11] can anyone direct me to a guide to installing a display driver in ubuntu? i dont have internet at home so have to download it and then try to install it there. it's a .run file [22:11] hey all im having issues with wifi. when i try to do sudo ifconfig wlan0 up it say SIOCSIFFLAGS: no such file or directory [22:11] what does that mean [22:11] ActionParsnip: Will QEmu or VirtualBox run my vmware virtual machines? [22:11] Virtualbox will [22:11] Cristi: Does XP setup tell you that it detected your hard-drive? if you're using a SATA drive, it's possible that XP won't see it without a driver disc. [22:12] Cristi: I haven't installed XP for a while, though, so I'm not sure. Perhaps the people in ##windows might be able to help. [22:12] Aethelred: and so will QEMU. [22:12] Posted in 2006: "NOTE: For some reason there seem to be problems if the WPA key is longer than 52 characters and/or contains non-alphanumeric characters." [22:12] rww: it says that it didn't find any suitable drives to install on [22:12] Aethelred: not sure, i dont use them. i just know of them and bits of info. [22:13] But if it's known for over 2 years, it probably should have been fixed? [22:13] No? :/ [22:13] sebsebseb and ToKico: that's great, as long as they will run them without any futzing around. Why would I want one of them over the other? Why are either of them better than vmware? [22:13] vmware isn't open source, is it? [22:13] rww: if i try installing windows vista, i'll still have this problem ? :/ [22:13] Cristi: I don't know, it depends on what the problem is. If XP's not detecting your drive, Vista might. [22:13] oingoboingo, just press crtl+alt+f1, log in, type "sudo killall gdm" and run the file with "sudo sh *.run" [22:13] Huufarted: no its not [22:14] ActionParsnip: thank you. You said "install vmware from fresh" ... do you recommend a particular version? [22:14] Aethelred: the latest i'd imagine [22:14] rww: i'll try other ways tomorrow, thank you anyway [22:14] thanks RomD! [22:14] rww: cheers [22:14] no problem oingoboingo [22:15] this channel is evil, btw... I've spent more time on here at work today than I have on doing real work issues. I do not take any of the blame for that... it's the fault of everybody in here right now. [22:15] Huufarted: No, vmware is not open source. I'm willing to trade that for ease of installation and compatibility with my existing VMs. I'd be willing to convert soon enough, but I need to get it up and running fastest. [22:15] Huufarted: then leave ;) [22:15] Ummm.. I can't. [22:15] Aethelred: i see vbox as easier to install but that was a few months back [22:16] Heeeey... in xorg.conf, when it says "configured video device", where exactly is it configured? I need to change its config [22:16] serious question. And slightly off topic. In GNome XChat, there are small progress bars that show up underneath the list of people in the channel. Anybody know what they represent? [22:16] Huufarted, they have a tooltip [22:16] loras: xorg does autodetection by default, now. If you need to add manual configuration stuff, just add it to the file. [22:16] just move the mouse over them [22:17] RomD, then the tooltip doesn't show for me. :( weak sauce. [22:17] nevermind, now it does [22:17] rww: so it won't try to "reconfigure" it, every boot? Well, thank you :) :) :) Will try it [22:17] it's lag and network send queue [22:17] Ok, I'm going to go sit in the corner and shut up now [22:17] loras: correct, settings you put in there override any autodetected ones. [22:17] Sweet, TY :) [22:17] exit [22:19] Can I get Thunar to display the "artist ", "title", and "album" in a folder of mp3's? [22:19] i installed unetbootin, how do i start the program? [22:19] i tried terminal > unetbootin [22:19] churl: install it and try [22:20] can anyone help me with using xchat in ubuntu,i want to add a channel but dont know how? [22:20] rixtr66, /join #channelname [22:20] ActionParsnip: oh it's installed, and i have tried [22:20] I want to add some bookmarks to firefox package to be ready when installed. [22:20] thank you all again! peace! [22:20] unetbootin? [22:21] churl: thunar is designed to be light and quick so im not sure what they have included [22:21] mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm [22:21] !unetbootin | linux_guy [22:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about unetbootin [22:21] Huufarted;i know that bit,but how do you put the server in the list? [22:21] any1 know a good sound card for my Ubuntu Box (Compaq Presario )? [22:21] rixtr66, there are 2 XChats. Gnome XChat and regular XChat. I assume you're using the normal one? [22:22] yes [22:22] maher, not quite the same but you might like to look at FEBE extension, which can backup and restore bookmarks and whole profiles [22:22] Nasra: http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/soundcards [22:22] I'm using GNome Xchat, but I'll TRY and help you... [22:22] k [22:22] rixtr66, look for an 'Options' bit or 'Preferences' [22:22] rww: thanks alot [22:23] I deleted my top panel, I right clicked on the bottom panel and clicked new panel, but it deleted everything. What's the easiest way to fix this? [22:23] ok found preferences! [22:23] oioi [22:24] !pt | stanley_ [22:24] stanley_: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [22:24] I've been using Linux (SUSE then Kubuntu) for the past 3 years, as my primary desktop. Got a new laptop today, so I decided to try Ubuntu. Installed, logged in, and it wanted to update packages. I let it download and install 250 or so of them. It wanted to reboot, so I let it do that. Now the windows manager is lost. Console-only available (CTRL-ALT-F7 shows blank screen). Is this problem common? [22:25] wad: that's just nasty... and no, it's not very common. [22:25] Hi i need your help to solve firefox there is no titlebar with "x" on firefox windows [22:25] Hmm. Okay. [22:26] wad, is a new install appropriate? [22:26] Yes, brand new install. [22:26] linux_guy, new PC [22:26] linux_guy can u help me? [22:26] Lenovo T500 laptop, pretty high-end. [22:26] twain, try F11 [22:26] looking through dmesg now. [22:26] linux guy it work quit but i need put titlebar back on firefox [22:27] Huufarted, what i mean is that since he JUST installed, maybe he could reinstall [22:27] ah, gotcha. Sorry, I'm a bit slow on the uptake today, sorry. [22:27] twain, im afraid i don't understand. did F11 work? [22:28] i am sorry you right!! it WORK!!! thank you LOTS! linux_guy i am learning..

The laptop came with Vista. First thing I did was install XP on a little piece of the drive, then Ubuntu on the rest. [22:29] ActionParsnip, i know, i know i tried puppy today.... it was a joke [22:30] ActionParsnip, for MY purposes [22:30] I don't want to run Vista, I have work to do. Win XP is just so I can play games with my kids. [22:30] mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm [22:30] wad, youre not going to be able to run xp very easily [22:30] linux_guy: its made t be cut down and fast, if you start bloating it with all the usual guff of a desktop you are not using it right [22:30] linux_guy: then puppy isnt the distro for you [22:30] wad, your hardware is newer than your OS and drivers will be a PITA [22:30] linux_guy, why do you say that? It runs just fine, when I choose it from grub... [22:30] linux_guy, heh, well, I don't care much. [22:30] wad, in my personal experience with dell [22:31] Dell? This is a lenovo T500. There is no dell here. [22:31] ActionParsnip, the desktop was LOADED with junk to be a mini distro [22:31] lenovo = IBM [22:31] * wad points to the name of the channel. ;) [22:31] wad, i had vista problems on MY Dell [22:32] wad, so i went to xp [22:32] linux_guy: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=277854 === Yasumoto_ is now known as Yasumoto [22:32] wad, at which point drivers became hell [22:32] wad, I would try a fresh Ubuntu install on that partition. Let it wipe and re-create the partitions. I'd recommend using Ext3 FS. [22:32] wad, so now i'm all ubuntu =) [22:32] Well, dmesg doesn't help me much. I rebotted it again, still nothing. [22:32] wad, consider ubuntu as primare and maybe vmware? [22:32] Huufarted, I just finished a fresh install of Ubuntu... [22:33] hey, i installed 8.10, lan worked. then i did a update now network wont connect [22:33] It finished, and the first thing it wanted to do was download and install some updates. Now gnome is hosed. [22:33] wad, I understand that. But didn't you say that it won't let you get past the console now? [22:33] linux_guy: its tool for the job to me, my router runs bsd, my file server runs gentoo and my desktop runs ubuntu [22:33] what can i do ? [22:33] No, I can log in via the console... but there is no X running that I can seem to get to. [22:33] wad, during boot up, does it list the problems it had loading Gnome? [22:33] Stevethepirate, any luck? [22:33] During boot up, it shows a useless progress bar. [22:33] Hekos: did your network work out of the box? [22:33] I can turn that off in grub, can't I? [22:34] I'm trying to set UserDir in my apache2.conf, but keep getting the error "Invalid command". Can anyone help me figure out why? [22:34] wad, for the life of me I can't remember how to disable that progress bar... [22:34] ActionParsnip, yes [22:34] not sure, wad [22:34] wad, looking it up now. [22:34] cafree, what command are you running? [22:34] Hekos: wired or wireless? [22:34] ActionParsnip, wired [22:34] * linux_guy is happy his rig is back at his house [22:34] * wad is in menu.ldy [22:34] Titan899: the command to restart the apache server? service apache2 restart [22:34] was, yes. Remove the word "splash" from the "kernel" line in /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:34] Hekos: can you pastebin the output of the lspci command [22:35] lst, rather [22:35] wad, let's consider reinstalling the OS [22:35] cool [22:35] !find toshiba_acpi.ko [22:35] hey guys anyone tried the ubuntu 8.10 does it support the IPW3940 module for the intel pro wireless cards?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [22:35] can anyone tell me where my USB drive is mounting too... I know its /media/disk but what Im trying to get ubuntu installer loaded onto a USB drive and its says it cant find the drive when I issue the ' sudo parted /media/disk set 1 boot on ' command to it I think it should have something like /dev/whatever but I dont know what to find that out [22:35] carpii, explain why Hardy instead of Intrepid? [22:35] cafree, when do you recieve that error? [22:35] ActionParsnip yes but it will take a bit.. no network on the pc what so ever [22:35] i just find it has less issues personally [22:36] Titan899: When trying to restart the apache server [22:36] * wad reads up.... [22:36] Carpii, i'd like to know too [22:36] especially on a laptop [22:36] cafree, did you enable the module needed for userdir? [22:36] personally the only issue I saw was the lack of support for Atheros in Intrepid that was fixed with a quick download and make install [22:36] Titan899: I.... don't know === FlareFlare is now known as Flare183 [22:37] i had enormous problems with sound on 8.10, that werent present in 8.04. Also some networking oddities, although I never got to the bottom of that [22:37] Hekos: just give the lines for the network device [22:37] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/123564/ [22:37] Huufarted: my atheros works out of the box [22:37] Is 8.04 less troublesome than 8.10? [22:37] cafree, are you following a guide or just going off the comments in the config file? [22:37] Titan899: Neither. Just searching the web [22:38] wad: it varys from system to system [22:38] anyone kno what version of jackd will be in jaunty? [22:38] ActionParsnip, the ralink device is not in function atm, will get that later [22:38] ActionParsnip, you had better luck than I. I just had to download ath5k, though [22:38] wad, my recommendation is 8.10. [22:38] cafree, sudo a2enmod user_dir && sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [22:38] cafree, that should do it [22:38] Titan8990: 'lo [22:38] i should probably point out im referring to kubuntu rather than ubuntu [22:39] how do i make firestarter launch itself at boot? [22:39] Titan899: Could you explain what that does so I understand it? [22:39] cafree, a2enmod is a command implemented in debian based distros, it enables modules in apache so you do not have to manually link them [22:39] Huufarted: i buy my hardware so its fully linux compliant :) [22:40] can anyone give me a link to a good howto on install ubuntu from a usb thumb drive (not from a windows machine) [22:40] !usb | donavan01 [22:40] donavan01: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [22:40] cafree, the && means run this next command only after the first has finished, and the 2nd command restarts apache [22:40] Titan8990: Oh, ok so do I put in the literal 'user_dir' or should I substiiitute that with something [22:40] cafree, user_dir is the correct name of the module that you need to enable [22:41] donavan01, http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin works just fine [22:41] ActionParsnip, any idea ? [22:41] Titan8990: hm, apparently the module doesn't exist [22:41] cafree, run a2enmod without specifying a module, this will give a list of available modules [22:42] I just added a desktop environment for the first time to my server. How do I get it to run the new gnome desktop environment? [22:42] ActionParsnip, mine is linux compliant, but the 8.10 kernel left out the right driver for the AR5007EG. /shrug [22:43] Huufarted: 01:09.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [23:39] sorry bout the flood [23:39] donavan01, I had that problem also. You NEED to go into the bios so it will see the CD drive, then it should boot to it [23:39] lineman60: actually no somehow I missed it [23:40] hey, I have a simple question. where is the pidgin config stored? I didn't find anything like .pidgin [23:40] whats a good app to *proxify* any other app even if it doesn't support it... is "tsocks" one? or "proxychains"? They both haven't been updated since 2006 i think [23:41] hey, how can i give an account admin rights if i cant access the admin account?

[23:46] thanks huufarted [23:46] you find it, lord_hypnos ? [23:46] huufarted ": yeah 2 of them one running 8.1 and another running 8.04 [23:47] donavan01, another option you have is installing over the network. [23:47] yeah huufarted, it works, I'm just copying stuff from my old /home folder to the new one [23:47] shumpi: then make sure you: chmod +x ./a.out [23:47] shumpi: then execute it with: ./a.out [23:47] quick question, i am buying a new computer. nvidias graphic driver has always been better. but what should i go for now as the ati one is up and coming? :) [23:47] and it worked [23:47] yeah but wouldnt I still need to have a bootable usb/sd card to get this working ? [23:47] thx do you mean I should typt that in the terminal? [23:48] donavan01: i gave you the link dude [23:48] shumpi: yeah man [23:48] It works!!!! [23:48] yes! [23:48] actionparsnip: working on it too many pages to read ... thanks though [23:48] thx! [23:49] larsemil, both will be equally "difficult" to install for ubuntu, so it's not a big deal really; either should be good if you're going for something high-end.. by "difficult", i mean it *might* be difficult, but it might go smoothly too [23:49] donavan01, no you can boot ENTIRELY over the network [23:49] donavan01: well what you are wanting isnt simple. I think the live cd has an install to usb option [23:49] donavan01, I stand corrected, the bios has to support it and TBH I'm not 100% certain the Asus bios does. [23:49] what does chmod do? [23:49] !chmod | shumpi [23:49] shumpi: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [23:49] shumpi, it changes permissions on files [23:50] How come I can't install Opera? [23:50] shumpi: makes files executable, readbale, writable and the opposite [23:50] Actionparsnip: sorry I miss spoke ... its not too much to read ... I just have too much all at once I havent made it to the page you sent.... didnt mean I was too lazy to read it ... just havent gotten to it yet [23:50] ah....
