[01:01] Oops, sorry [01:01] dadda you can on same subnet but its not recommended for newbies [01:02] I'm assuming there's something to do with a botched update, since my laptop crashed while running aptitude [01:02] @wad - you could put an init 0 command into a script that ran from a key press, but you would need su to run it [01:02] Can anyone point me to a resource that would help a noob understand how to get to a graphical desktop on Ubuntu over ssh? I would prefer not to use vnc if possible [01:03] TheGambler, forward x11 [01:03] @ TheGambler - server or client? === wad is now known as wad__ [01:03] TheGambler -> you ever done a tutorial on ssh? something like ssh -C -Y name@remotehost [01:03] I have not configured any firewalls since eth1 is just going to be for connection directly to my ftp server running on a windows machine on ip 10.10.10.10 and subnet 255.255.255.240 and my ubuntu machine I whant the ip 10.10.10.1 but I can't get them to talk to each other pinging is not working [01:03] God_Like: thanks, I will look into that [01:04] n8tuserf: no, I am brand new; just got through this yesterday and today [01:04] TheGambler: you can also tunnel vnc over ssh, so that the only port you're using is the SSH port [01:04] TheGambler: If its in a VM, why don't you just use the GUI in the VM? [01:04] Woo hoo, now I'm logged into IRC on my new laptop! [01:04] Flannel: I am connected to the shell over VNC from a Windows box [01:04] TheGambler -> now is a good time to learn those then, [01:04] When I connect via SSH, will I need another client to see the X windows?

[01:05] http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html [01:06] gino: cool; I did see some references to cygwin. However, I do not understand "X"; like, how does X related to Gnome or KDE? [01:06] can anyone reccomend a good database wherehouse soulition for an I.T. company that is OSS, and allows the storage of system info, etc? [01:06] capttwinky: thanks [01:06] dadda -> have you done any networking tutorial? route table is essential for two host to be able to ping each other.. [01:06] gino: thanks [01:06] My firefox is getting SIGBUS on start now, since I updated it earlier. I can't figure out how to try to downgrade it. How do I do that using synaptic or aptitude? [01:06] can rythmbox be removed from Intrepid without screwing up your system to much? [01:06] @TheGambler - x is the system that both Gnome and KDE run on top of [01:06] hello [01:06] n8tuserf, if I lock an account with "passwd -l" how can you check which ones are locked? [01:06] I also has a weird effect that my internet connection on eth0 gets disconnected if I try connecting eth1 [01:07] capttwinky: does that mean I could get Gnome over SSH? [01:07] Jupp -> i dont know off hand, but i would man passwd to get some clue or hints [01:07] TheGambler: you can run X apps over ssh, yes [01:07] @TheGambler - yes, or kde or any other window manager you want [01:07] @TheGambler - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=574556 [01:07] sweet [01:08] Guys. Honestly this isn't too difficult. I know there's got to be some way to downgrade a package. [01:08] What is METRIC in a routeing table? [01:08] I am wanting a simple and easy to use dj package for Ubuntu to do web streaming [01:08] @ST47 right click in synaptic [01:08] dadda, its like hops [01:08] Bsims, dj? [01:09] Ok. If I need to use synaptic, I have a harder problem. [01:09] It won't accept my sudo password >.> [01:09] what is hops? [01:09] THanks for the tips. I really appreciate it === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [01:09] Jupp -> i have not used that feature before, but perhaps if you look into utmp or wtmp? to see any indications? [01:09] ST47 - can you sudo from the terminal? === jay is now known as jayb [01:09] ST47, your sudo password is the same password us use to log in, you must be in the admin group [01:09] ST47, then your kinda screwed [01:09] Sudo works [01:09] Bsims: checkout Ampache [01:09] gksu doesn't work [01:10] dadda, a hop is going from one network device to another, for example, going from your computer to your router is one hop [01:10] what irc client does everyone recomend? [01:10] porthose: I want it to work with windows mplayer ip whatever [01:10] @ST47 - you should probably do a "sudo deb-conf reconfigure gksu" then [01:10] gino, i like xchat but its a matter of preference [01:10] ubuntu computer to gigabit switch to windows computer is 3 hops then? [01:11] Jupp: sudo cat /etc/shadow. Any user accounts that have a * or ! in the second column instead of a long list of characters are locked. [01:11] Bsims: the tar.gz from ampache.org will work on windows [01:11] @ST47 you can also do a "sudo synaptic &" from a commandline [01:11] Do I still need to make initrd for my new kernel if the kernel have been compiled without module support? [01:11] @gino pidgen [01:11] Titan8990, question about xchat: where do I remove the "blah has left/joned" channel [01:11] capttwinky, ST47: use gksu not sudo for graphical programs [01:11] dadda, yes, you can test that with traceroute [01:11] Flannel: I'd love to if gksu worked. [01:11] dadda -> have you done any networking tutorial? route table is essential for two host to be able to ping each other.. kindly do a networking tutorial please [01:12] ST47: how about gksudo? [01:12] rww, thanks!!! that's exactly what I was looking for [01:12] Any good networking tutorials out there? [01:12] gino, settings -> preferences -> chatting -> general [01:12] ST47: If gksu won't work, sudo won't work. Are you sure you're putting the correct password in? (your user's) without caps lock, etc, etc? Are you still in the admin group? [01:12] @flannel - gksu is preferred but if the command line user already has sudo privilages, it will work from the command line just fine [01:12] Titan8990, when other people leave the channel [01:12] porthose: but can tehy listen to it without any real work [01:12] gino, oh, I have never tried [01:13] try "sudo ls;sudo synaptic &" [01:13] gksudo works. sudo works. gksu doesn't. I wonder if I screwed something up. [01:13] dadda -> i have nothing on hand, you may have to google for one [01:13] ok [01:13] dang [01:13] ST47: seems like there's a gconf setting that puts gksu in 'sudo' mode (not 'su' mode), which is what you want [01:13] capttwinky, don't start GUI apps with sudo like that [01:13] is it possible that i didn't install ubuntu correctly but still be able to use it? [01:13] capttwinky: No. gksu sets up the environment differently than sudo. More appropriately for graphical programs. The recommendation has nothing to do with the graphical prompt. [01:13] gino: right-click the channel name in the channel switcher. it's in one of the sub-menus off there. [01:13] !gksudo > capttwinky [01:13] capttwinky, please see my private message [01:13] join ##windows [01:13] woops [01:14] rww, cheers! Thanks! [01:14] prince_jammys: thanks, looking... [01:14] Bsims: yes it has a XPSF player [01:14] ST47: use the gconf editor tool and look at .. /apps/gksu/sudo-mode [01:14] On intrepid someitmes the Save File... dialogue is missing a few links on the left like desktop. theyre just appear as blank white. also the save file dialogue often appears really small and i have to resize in gedit. Is this a common problem? neither happened in gutsy or hardy [01:14] I'll look into it then [01:14] Its msising the links in pidgin sorry [01:14] Flynsarmy: the size issue is a known bug [01:15] n8tuserf: after following those directions and reading a bit more, i got it working. it seems i was having the following problem: "However, it does have the same problem as NDISwrapper that if you have the Broadcom wired card that uses the b44 module, you will need to load the wl module before the ssb module is loaded." How can correct this? [01:15] how do I configure dual display extended desktop with different resolution (fglrx) [01:15] ST47: alternatively, use gksudo. It's not a big problem. Just seems like your gksu is acting like 'su', which expects the root password. That's what I suspect is happening [01:16] @ST47 you can also use aptitude from a command line [01:17] Flynsarmy: i think this is the one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/75324 [01:18] @flannel - after reviewing the doccument that the robot sent, it looks like the problem would be with the differences between the users' profile and root's profile, which would not be an issue with using synaptic [01:19] can rythmbox be removed without screwing up your system to much? [01:20] porthose, yes [01:20] God_ [01:20] @porthose how do you define "screwing up" [01:20] opening my question up to a wider audience: how can i force the wl module to load before the ssb module is loaded? [01:21] capttwinky, thats what I'm thinking.... [01:21] capttwinky: by breaking other stuff [01:21] God_Like: thxs:) [01:21] @porthose if you just remove the rhythmbx package, you should be ok [01:22] capttwinky: cool :) [01:23] after googling I'm about to believe that it's impossible to have dual display with different res with proprietary ATI driver [01:23] capttwinky: The issue isn't in running the program, but logging in after using it. Some things can save stuff to /home/username/ with root permissions, which can sometimes make things go poorly in the future. [01:23] @porthose - if you want a different player though, I would probably install that first [01:23] somebody woudl do well to prove otherwise :( [01:23] I have a keyboard layout problem [01:23] capttwinky: already have it installed :) [01:23] @flannel which is not something that synaptic does [01:23] when I switch from qwerty to dvorak it switches fine using right and left alt press, when I try to switch back it won [01:23] won't [01:24] mroc: i'm not too familiar with it, but you can set udev rules to load the modules in a certain order [01:24] capttwinky: Just suggest the use of gksu with graphical programs always in this channel. It's a good best practice, and some people don't know as much as you and its good to steer them the appropriate way so things don't bite them in the future. [01:24] Does Ubuntu have a built-in firewall that is active? [01:24] musikgoat|main: that goes well beyond my current knowledge. thanks for the suggestion though.

[01:27] dadda: iptables has no rules set by default so don't set any for eth1 [01:27] Nasra, lol [01:27] dadda: iptables, by default, has no restrictions, meaning it shouldn't be blocking anything [01:27] how do i add an option to run a cd from grub >.> [01:27] Go_like: it does not recognize it....

[01:29] God_Like : what Do I need in Wind*ws work fine.. [01:29] it's just plug and play [01:29] ping my windows machine from my ubuntu computer [01:30] Nasra, most likly your not gonna get it to work, try google but its doubt full [01:30] dadda: check for a firewall on your windows computer then... [01:30] okay [01:30] dadda: in the same subnet? [01:30] different subnets [01:30] dadda: windows firewall filters ICMP (ping) traffic incoming [01:30] let me google it [01:30] by default anyway [01:31] yeah but i removed the software that runs the windows firewall including all drivers for it [01:31] so it should not be active [01:31] dadda: are you sure? windows firewall is built into the OS [01:31] so whats the problem you can't ping windows from ubuntu? [01:32] dadda, you remove windows? [01:32] HentaiUbuntu, any firewall running? Same subnet? [01:32] gino, what [01:32] no just the service and software that is incharge of running the windows firewall [01:32] so there should not be a windows firewall on that computer [01:32] dadda: what are the IP's and gateway settings of each? [01:32] dadda, may want to check again [01:33] spamming again in case anyone knows: is there a way to get different res dual display with ATI driver? :( [01:33] trying to ping windows from ubuntu, is their a firewall on your windows pc?

[01:48] prince_jammys: ok. [01:49] mroc: make sure you add them in the order you want them to load. [01:49] musikgoat|main: from what i've read, it seems blacklisting ssb is not effective because it gets called by other things anyway [01:49] !symbolic link [01:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about symbolic link [01:49] grr [01:49] yothere1209: have you EVER gotten X to work?

[01:51] thats what i want to open. i tried replacing mozilla with firefox but no dice. [01:51] yothere1209: you can try to a)first backup the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then b) sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:51] SuspectZero: firefox http://www.theweathernetwork.com/tv/ontv_platformdist_iframe_en.php [01:51] usernameis: sorry, i don't do pm [01:51] ok.

When it came back up it did a scan of the disks, told me to forsibly do a scan of the disks which I did, it fixed a bunch of files and when it gave me the login screen no dice.

[01:55] mroc: thats another way to do it, by far a hack, but it does what you need [01:56] on Ubuntu(i386), how to build aix PPC environment? [01:56] musikgoat|main: it does what i need for now - it's not my laptop, and i'm going away for the weekend, so it's at least an easy way to have it work for someone who knows far less than i do. [01:56] mroc: the way i understand it udev controls driver loading, if its blacklisted, then /etc/modules would be the only other place that they could be loaded from [01:56] mun: right click on the panel -- choose properties- then background tab [01:56] mun, probably check 'System | Prefs | Appearances [01:56] mroc: sounds good [01:56] wish me luck guys, i'm restarting a server for the first time and it's 2 hours away [01:56] mun: otherwise if not specified it uses system theme colors [01:57] gl gino [01:57] musikgoat|main: you understand better than i do, i'm sure. my info was based on posts by others trying to solve this same problem (thank you broadcom).

Whenevever I get an update through ubuntu's update manager, is there somewhere (or even a site) I can go to take a look at the changes? I know I can add my own repos, but atleast to see the info for ubuntu's official ones [02:11] Like my most recent one updated the flash player package, so Im curious what this did [02:11] bartek: usually there are links in the update manager [02:11] bartek: in update manager, there's an option to see the changelogs [02:11] Anacranom: i dont have ubuntu i got debian, what should net stat say .. to know if everything with the tftpdeamon is ready to go ? [02:11] or anyother tag [02:11] bartek: I think update manager shows that usually. There's also the package apt-listchanges, which might help. [02:12] thanks. [02:12] bartek, there's also http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [02:13] bartek: oh, yeah. If you locate the package on packages.ubuntu.com, there's a link to the changelog on the right side of the package details page [02:13] i've tried customising the colour box, but it's still the same. [02:13] on the topic of adding this new hard drive... i don't know why it happened, but my disk labels changed when I added the new, 3rd drive. I use sata for everything, and previously channels sata 1 and 2 corresponded to sda and sdb. after adding that 3rd drive, sata 3 and 4 are sda and sdb, and sata 1 and 2 are sdc and sdd. seemed easier to me to just move the cables around to go with how it used to be, but it seems weird that eve [02:13] redvamp128, i've tried customising the colour box, but it's still the same. [02:13] very cool, thanks guys :) [02:13] bartek: apt-listchanges should also give you the changelogs after you download the packages. [02:14] DIFH-iceroot: hi u there ? [02:14] Pici: that command does not work? [02:14] kingnothing: sounds like something wierd with acpi, i can see how that would be annoying [02:14] bartek: Its not a command, its a package. [02:14] how do I get Ubuntu to show me what is occurring during boot rather than just a pretty splash screen? [02:14] bartek, sudo apt-get install apt-listchanges [02:14] keyboard and mouse won't work after restart. Network also not working. Can get to a terminal and type in there but no GUI keyboard or mouse. [02:15] ah :) [02:15] mun I will take you a screenshot of what I changed to change mine though -- I will have to change it back. [02:15] simple question, how do I tell what partitions are being mounted and where? [02:15] anyone have any ideas? [02:15] kingnothing: could there be a bios setting to prioritize your sata bus'es? [02:15] gino: mount [02:15] gino, cat /etc/{fstab,mtab} [02:15] musikgoat|main: i took a look through the bios but didn't see anything that stood out to me as a way to prioritize the channels [02:15] gino: "mount" will show all mounted partitions and where they're mounted. sudo fdisk -l will show all partitions on all disks, whether mounted or not. /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab contain settings for automatic mounting and other mount settings. [02:16] musikgoat|main: i can prioritize boot order, but that was it [02:16] i love asking simple questions [02:16] also a note for sys admins: fuji printers SUCK [02:16] mun: http://imagebin.ca/view/ey9FQJS.html the window is what I clicked on to change the color-- just don't forget to click ok. [02:16] kingnothing: if you prioritize your 3rd channel to boot first... i wonder if that would affect the connections it makes to the OS, beyond my knowledge tho [02:17] redvamp128, thanks a lot [02:17] holy crap I am getting my ass reamed by a customer, this sucks....anyways [02:17] vlc still does not play wmv [02:17] how can i find out which process has opened a specific file? eg, file foo is not readable, since it has been opened already. lsof | grep myfile seems to not work, at least i don't get an output [02:18] jexmex: did you enable multiverse and also restricted and install win32codecs?

[02:28] in that case, the button texts are blended into the black background [02:28] oops sorry guys, was busy getting a ear ful, I will check that now [02:28] I ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -xserver-xorg" to supposedly rewrite my xorg.conf file, but I still can only boot by using a live CD [02:28] I can only use the terminal.

[02:29] _VIM_, are you willing to walk him through how to use vi :P [02:29] reason being is, i have 4-8 gig files i would like to move around on my remote server, and it would take a very long time to move them. unless i do it from vnc on the server itself [02:29] Skype not working, Ekiga+Netmeeting not working -- any other alternatives?

[02:30] nothing I find on the forums is of any help [02:30] mun: depends on the theme of firefox [02:30] gorlak: ssh to the remote server and cp/mv [02:30] gorlak, i think samba does the same thing, the transfer from one remote dir to another still goes through your computer [02:30] usser is right [02:30] thanks [02:31] rww: thanks [02:31] redvamp128, i'm using the default theme. when i use a dark theme for ubuntu, the submit buttons will turn black too. [02:31] hmm, cannot find win32 codec package, how do I ensure multiverse is enabled [02:31] hm i maybe wrong then, i was always under the impression that the smb just did it serverside. is there any reason why it has to go through your computer?

[02:41] [Tequila]: you can use xclip [02:41] tripps: that would be hard to do because of the segmented with adds [02:41] rww: ./configure gives a no such file or directory. [02:42] <[Tequila]> Jrib: i tried but it seems to only copy the 1st item on the clipboard list [02:42] huwenfeng: try installing language-support-zh [02:42] [Tequila]: what clipboard list? There's only one thing stored in the clipboard afaik [02:42] tripps: that and the segments are tripped at the end of the adds.

[02:43] <[Tequila]> jrib: the clip board keeps a history [02:43] huwenfeng: I don't know, since I don't use chinese input, but it looks like it should. If you speak Chinese, you could ask in the Chinese-language Ubuntu channel; seems like they'd know :) [02:43] [Tequila]: documentation? How do you know this? [02:43] SuspectZero, make a script that runs that command and call the script instead?

Is there any reason why my PC would show 2 CPUs in the system monitor if there werent 2 cores ? my Eee has an atom processor that is showing up with 2 cpus and im wondering if I got the wrong CPU (bonus) [02:51] dolo: Have you considered just disabling your onboard sound? Most BIOS's have an option for that. [02:51] dolo: just go into your bios and disable the onboard sound. (if that is not possible) you can go into system -- preference sound then change the device to the other one not the onboard sound. [02:51] but it said i dont have a supported device installed [02:51] donavan01: which eeePC model do you have? [02:51] rww: its a 900a [02:51] well i thought that if i set it to sound blaster in prefrences it would just go [02:51] hey all, do we have any audio nutters here who run a decent amp/speakers combo or headphones through their sound card? what card do you use and does sound quality compare with that of windows? [02:51] but today i rebooted 3 times and still going to the onboard [02:52] id like to get sound blaster working before i disable the onboard [02:52] GeForce Go 7400 is listed on the supported products page [02:52] Anyone?

[04:37] IndyGunFreak, i see what you mean now by assigning events and they are all empty [04:37] d_rugs420: i know, thats why you have no sounds [04:37] i thought xchat would come with its own sound files [04:38] guess i need to find my own [04:38] i there i just installed kmldonkey a it seems to have no where for the files to go or am i messing some thing where are my downloads [04:38] d_rugs420: welll, frankly if you had a sound for everyone of those events, your computer would sound like a non-stop orchestra [04:38] Is there any hard drive test utilities for linux? [04:38] IndyGunFreak, right and i dont need sound for all of them just a few of them [04:38] Im booting into console right now, and i am wondering, i know i can use alt+F2 or F3 etc to open new 'tabs' but i have no idea how to close them, and cannot find out how through google or any of the man info pages [04:39] I feel stupid for asking but ive been looking for about an hour now and dont want to waste any more time [04:39] histo: I use Gsmart I think it is in the repository... but also you can find it at getdeb.net [04:39] i can type exit to log out of su [04:39] d_rugs420: right.. i don't know if it helps, but i set mine to channel msg highlight, notice, open dialog, and priv. message to dialog, and its fine [04:40] but it still doesnt close the 'tab' [04:40] d_rugs420: i use tone.wav for thsoe thigs... sounds a bit like hitting a high pitched key on a xylephone [04:40] redvamp128: I don't see it int he repos and i'm on live cd === sleepy_cat is now known as peterson [04:41] im starting to think that i have no way to get rid of them, before i had to reboot because i accidentally pressed alt+right arrow and opened like 20 something tabs [04:41] histo: You would not be able to use it on a live cd though you may try downloading and burning -- www.ultimatebootcd.com it has harddrive test tools on it . [04:41] nothing in the man or in any of the guides ive found talk about it === jerry_ is now known as Guest42975 [04:41] redvamp128: there is no linux solution? [04:41] nigtv: Um, you'd have to kill the getty process. Why would you want to? [04:42] nigtv: why are you using su anyways?.. just use sudo. [04:42] histo: There is but won't work on a live cd [04:42] well im booting into console [04:42] thats what i mean indy [04:42] redvamp128: why's that? [04:42] because i like it [04:42] nigtv: well, theres quite a difference [04:42] yea well lol [04:42] sorry i mean sudo su [04:42] anyways [04:42] nigtv: sudo -s or sudo -i, not sudo su. [04:42] nigtv: again, sudo su is silly [04:42] histo: for one thing the gsmart is about 30mb just for that tool. plus the 10mb of dependencies. [04:42] just use sudo [04:42] how do i close these things [04:43] blah [04:43] nigtv: again, why would you want to? [04:43] because they are taking up space [04:43] redvamp128: I see gsmart is just a gui for smartctl [04:43] its clutter [04:43] ... [04:43] ill have irssi on tab one [04:43] moc on tab 4 [04:43] then i have to use the f keys [04:43] instead of the arrow keys [04:43] and ive accidntally opened like 20 windows a few times now [04:44] nigtv: watch using the enter for punctiation (too many posts in a row and bot will silence you) [04:44] its really annoying [04:44] im trying to free up so drive space on my eee ... only have 4gbs for the primary drive ... anyone know of a list of stuff I can get rid of [04:45] histo: that is what I use -- but I don't think it is on the live cd though -- [04:45] yea sorry, i know its a bad habit. Its opening up more and more and more tty, each one with +1 numeral after it, and it creates files in /etc/ that are blank [04:45] donavan01: the apt cache [04:45] donavan01: locales. Look for the localepurge tool. [04:45] donavan01: sudo aptitude clean [04:45] donavan01: apt-cache is good too. [04:45] i dont get how it is so easy to open new ones but impossible to close any of them that are open, but ive searched around a TON and cannot find out if there is a way or not [04:46] donavan01: also, think about what you really need to have. For instance, Java is a bit large on disk. === xyz is now known as symphony === Album is now known as Album|Awy [04:46] donavan01: Applications > Accessories > Disk Usage Analyzer can help you track down some things, but start with an apt-get clean and localepurge. [04:46] yeah I have been going through getting rid of apps I dont need but there is only so much I can do with out really digging into the individual packages [04:48] this is going to drive me crazy. Lets say that if i DID start up the window manager and opened up a terminal, is there anything i can type in the terminal to make it close, or would i HAVE to press the little X in the upper right? === symphony is now known as pretty_damsel [04:48] what about stuff in the tmp directory ? can I purge that stuff or will it die next time I boot [04:49] nigtv: In a window manager you'd be working with a terminal emulator, not a tty, so exit would close it. [04:49] so there is nothing i can do when not in a window manager? [04:50] nigtv: not easily. You'd probably benefit from learning how to use screen. === pretty_damsel is now known as symphony [04:50] how to use screen? you might have to rephrase that === peterson is now known as chaterbot [04:51] nigtv: 'screen' - it's a command. [04:51] i think ill try to be a little bit more focused on not impulsively opening new ones [04:51] oh okay [04:51] "Terminal multiplexer" to quote that manpage. [04:51] well i gotta go type a little more on an essay [04:51] redvamp128: i'm using smartctl to test the drive [04:51] :/ [04:52] lol [04:52] Is there any performance testing tool for a mediaplayer which uses opengl for video output? [04:52] here is another question ... can I make an SD appear as just a folder or something like that ... make it more like part of the computer and less like an add on === symphony is now known as ramesh === ramesh is now known as c_nick === c_nick is now known as symphony [04:54] im downloading updates and now im stock here : XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: chrome://dta/content/dta/manager.xul Line Number 111, Column 3: ----------------^ .... how to get rid of this? [04:55] jigp: where do you see that? [04:55] ziroday: in desktop.it just showed up [04:55] wanna see the screenshot? [04:55] Hello everyone, I was wondering if someone here can help me out.

Just go ahead [04:57] ziroday: nope I don't have google chrome. I did not install google chrome [04:57] jigp: yeah, a screenshot would be good [04:57] mat3rw1tt... its probably not installing the drivers for the video card [04:59] jigp: you have a download manager extenstion or quick user switcher for firefox? [05:00] jigp: or the extension "down them all "? [05:00] Where would someone suggest I find a good setup guide or good intro to getting actuated with ubuntu for a LAMP server?

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [05:28] dark_abyss0, Gnome is larger, more resource consuming, prettier (IMO) and very well supported.

[06:00] liveuser_, one word rpm [06:00] and its not an ubuntu issue?

Got a question for you. In Gnome, with the network manager. How do you force Ubuntu to select a specific network connection each time you log in? As it stands, on this new install, it defaults to DHCP instead of my static IP [06:12] Can anyone assist me in getting Ubuntu to work with my wired connection that, for whatever reason, is not autodetecting anything? [06:12] Surlent777: what interface do you have? [06:13] Huufarted: The answer to your question depends on your network-manager version. So please repeat your question including your nm version. [06:13] storbeck, eth1? [06:13] Surlent777: type in a terminal and pastebin the outputs for me: sudo dhclient eth1 [06:13] usser : cool :) ... now what kind of configuration to set there? I just want your type [06:14] jigp, i dont use it :) just adjust to your liking, fiddle with options see how it behaves, see if you like it or not [06:14] storbeck: This could be a bit of an issue, as this is my only computer that is able to get online; I dual boot with Windows, which IS working... [06:14] eh [06:14] then just try running dhclient [06:14] it will help you [06:15] storbeck: what is that? I've never heard of it [06:15] it's the equivelant to the network manager, only in a shell [06:15] I'm using this guide (http://mirosol.kapsi.fi/tx2020/tx2000howto.htm) to help get all my stuff working properly, and I'm on the stop to get my rotation screen working but when I input the command gksudo gedit /etcXll/xorg.conf a new window comes up but nothing is in it, and I'm also not sure how to add "option RandRRotation" etc etc [06:15] usser : this is cool! thanks! but I have still task bars in the upper [06:16] usser : how to remove them? [06:16] usser : I don't have clear desktop auto too... [06:16] the network manager seems to exist only to cause me pain...the one in 8.04 was actually easier, I think...but anyway, why use the shell version instead of the GUI version? [06:16] jigp, wbar doesnt do taskbar. its only a launcher [06:16] jigp, so i'd keep it if i was to stick with wbar [06:16] Pontif_La_Rouge: you typed it wrong, it should be /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:16] usser : how to clear desktop windows?like in windows there is ctrl+win [06:17] Surlent777: because terminal based apps are always better ;) [06:17] storbeck: heh. also, I got some weird output when I tried the traditional ifup command [06:17] jigp, im not sure what you mean === Grimmjow-Laptop| is now known as Grimmjow-Laptop === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [06:17] * Grimmjow-Laptop is back.

[06:18] but that sems weird to me [06:19] storbeck, is any of that significant? [06:19] Huufarted: Yes. But I cannot help you because I have an earlier version. Network Manager's functionality has greatly changed in this respect. [06:19] bullgard4, do you know where I could go to look for that information? [06:19] Surlent777: it just didn't connect so it timed out [06:20] storbeck ussher : ahhh I saw it. the tv icon in the left :) [06:20] storbeck: OK. I think it's also worth noting that the big fancy network suite thing seems to say that I have an IP address. [06:20] Huufarted: Here in this channel. Just repeat your original question but add your nm version. [06:20] bullgard4, I'm checking the community documentation for it, now [06:20] i don't think your interface is eth1 though, it looks like it's ath0 [06:21] well, nevermind. ath0 is for wireless === kevin_ is now known as uvacav [06:21] Hmmm, just going to delete all of the network profiles except my static one. :) The worst that could happen is I fry it, amirite? [06:21] usser : I tried dragging the folders in my desktop so that the folders will go to the dock wbar but no luck. how to put the folders in dock? [06:21] storbeck. I know that it uses wlan0 for wireless, I have made that work elsewhere [06:21] Huufarted: When I checked the community's documentation the last time, it was incomplete. [06:21] i believe wlan is just a tunnel for ath0 [06:22] jigp, you'll have to create a launcher using wbarconf [06:22] storbeck: OK. So you're saying I should try this dhclient thing and hope for the best then? [06:22] yep, it's never failed me. dhcpcd is good too, but i don't think it comes with ubuntu [06:22] jigp, you'll need to launch the file-manager with a path, so in the command field you'd type nautilus /data for example [06:23] storbeck: I'm not sure if this will give me any different results, but I'll try it. I'll pop back in here either way and let you know how it turned out [06:23] storbeck what about the next step getting the screen to rotate using those commands [06:23] ok [06:24] Pontif_La_Rouge: i dont know what you're talking about [06:24] oh [06:25] well, in that guide it tells me to enter the following commands to rotate the screen xrandr -o left etc etc [06:25] and what's the issue? [06:26] I assume I'm to enter them in the terminal, and I get this message X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) [06:26] Major opcode of failed request: 157 (RANDR) [06:26] Minor opcode of failed request: 2 (RRSetScreenConfig) [06:26] Serial number of failed request: 12 [06:26] Current serial number in output stream: 12 [06:26] Pontif_La_Rouge: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:36] #ubuntu-it [06:36] nickrud, that is disappointing to hear. do you know of any solutions? [06:36] spike__, some themes use some software to do the drawing (the engine) usually the theme will tell you which engine you need. Most likely the engine is in the repositories [06:37] I'm sure this question is getting old but will RANDER & Nvidia /xinerama play nice w/each other or do I need a bigger hammer ? [06:37] I installed MPD and Sonata... both working well.. but I'm having a bit of a problem where I put MPD to start under gnome session and it starts as root, so it doesn't read my MPD Database from my user(me) which is located at ~/.mpd/mpd.db.. what is the best way for me to fix this? [06:37] PUfelix85, nope. Don't use bluetooth much so I didn't spend much time on it [06:37] darn... I like my bluetooth mouse too... :( [06:37] nickrud: will all the themes I have the same message = / [06:38] spike__, a lot, until you get the engine installed.

[06:43] nickrud: I wrote it in a terminal, it give me a lot of packages =O [06:44] Surlent777, not usually but I've had that problem lately , I need to find a different place to start pfctl but that's my problem [06:44] yeah there quite a few.. going to install one by one and try it out till I hit the right one :P [06:44] anyway, I'm off to update stuff and screw up my system in a comical manner, doubtless from trying to get KDE to work without compiz screwing it up! Thanks again, whoever you were. [06:44] gldtn: I try to install some new packages and I'll tell you if something work [06:44] how can I enable streaming video players for players that are for windows and MAC? Is it possible? [06:44] kop: noted. [06:44] somethingclever, ok, lets try the easy way. cd into the dir that has the deb, and run sudo dpkg -r --force-reinstreq [06:44] spike__, thanks.. same here [06:44] somethingclever, that should remove it [06:45] i have a problem with some functionality with my xbox gamepad under ubuntu 8.10. It detects it, and it is even using the left joystick as a mirrored mouse device and the start and select keys as click [06:45] TurTle_, that is what vlc is "supposed to do " [06:45] nickrud, dpkg: unknown force/refuse option `reinstreq' [06:45] gldtn, spike__ stick with the gtk2 themes [06:45] anyone know of a tool that can recursively scan a dir tree and extract any spilt rars it comes across ? [06:46] but this is not what I want it to do. I have read many howtos and all of them talk about jscalibrate, which I installed, but does not seem to reflect any of the inputs I give it [06:46] somethingclever, gah. --force-remove-reinstreq , sorry [06:46] nickrud, will do ;).. do I need to restart or logout of my session for the engines to take affect? [06:46] gldtn, no, they should show up in the theme dialog immediately [06:47] another random question for anyone: Do you know how to make a partition into a VM? (perferably for virtualbox) [06:47] gldtn, assuming they register properly. Very likely, since they are in the repos but some external themes may require a relogin === Album|Awy is now known as Album [06:47] any idea if i'll have any issues switching from an nvidia 8600gts to a 9600gt ? [06:47] Yeah! [06:47] dpkg: --remove needs at least one package name argument [06:47] , nickrud [06:47] I LOVE YOU!! [06:47] I wear too much eyeliner [06:48] linny1, sounds more like a scripting prob ie; find /| grep [06:48] I LOVE uuu <3 [06:48] i mean straight from the website, kop [06:48] My name is boxxy [06:48] gldtn: does it work ? [06:48] nickrud, i got it! [06:48] somethingclever, ah, I was assuming you'd use the name of the package. so, full command: sudo dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq fax4100lpr [06:48] thanks buddy [06:48] worked? sudo apt-get -f install runs successfully? [06:48] TurTle_, I'll hide in the corner now [06:48] got it workin nickrud thank you! [06:48] nickrud, ok.. it's funny where it gives me a warning it doesn't say which engine is missing "This theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ engine " is not installed" [06:49] gldtn: same = / [06:49] gldtn, maybe the web page will tell you what engine is required === Grimmjow-Laptop is now known as Grimmjow-Laptop| [06:49] Any want to confirm some iptables settings for me?

I checked.. but no luck.. see if you pay attetion to the warning msg it has " where the name of the engine should be [06:50] TurTle_, nm I'm hiding in the corner I thought you meant from source file not from web [06:50] I Need help im trying to get read & write permissions on my usb external its a 200gb and in ntfs format ive got ntfs-3g driver and ntfs config but when i open config it doesnt give me a drive to select just pops up read and write permission does anyone know what the problem is your help would be appreciated [06:51] but, here's a useful tidbit you should write down: sudo dpkg --get-selections > mypackages, move mypackages to new install , sudo dpkg --set-selections < mypackages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade , replicates a package list [06:51] gldtn, haha. Back theme construction [06:51] *bad [06:51] oh [06:52] im running xubuntu 8.10 new installation last night [06:52] right [06:52] well i guess you doont have an answer [06:52] nickrud, that's what I thought.. or maybe just for a little older version of file when written? [06:52] tru [06:52] dont hide in the closet though [06:52] won't be the first time [06:52] youll scarwe someone [06:52] nickrud.. the theme I'm try to install is called mookid by amadme [06:52] TY! tell me if this looks right. appreciate the help http://paste.ubuntu.com/123669/ [06:53] nickrud, but I'm also trying other themes by different people and I get the same error [06:53] can i use my scroll lock led as a ethernet monitoring device?? [06:53] bobJR: you familiar with chmod command? [06:53] nope [06:53] what is you enabled only one core in the bios but had a quad core.Would it make a difference? [06:53] never used it credo [06:53] What is your favorite IRC client for gnome? [06:53] gldtn, not sure at all why that's happening. But then I'm using really simplistic themes [06:54] What is a good light weight web browser for a ubuntu server? [06:54] you need your drive location... it would look like sudo chmod a+rw /mnt/sdX (number) [06:54] nickrud, ;) I like minimalist themes which is usually pretty simple [06:54] TurTle_, you mean play streaming wmv and quicktime? [06:55] oh i know my drive location its /dev/sdf1 [06:55] something like the wifi led,except i want it for my Ethernet [06:55] ZeRo_FeniX_, java script? [06:55] is it mounted?

[06:57] sudo chmod 755 /path/to/ [06:57] nickrud, hmm from checking out some of the themes that come with ubuntu and some that are being installed with the engines they all have a similar titlebar(original looking title bar) the theme I'm trying to install changes the title bar of the applications quite a bit.. are there any especial engines for that? [06:58] !led [06:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about led [06:58] this is what is in title bar when i open it or tab bar /media/Seagate [06:58] gldtn, got a link to the theme?

I checked for that engine to see if it was installed but it was not I installed one but not sure if it was the right one [07:04] gldtn, it's also showing an entry for the mist engine, but no definitions for the engine [07:04] anyone can give advice ? [07:04] nickrud, yeah I noticed that too [07:04] kingnothing: wait for ext3 [07:04] *ext4 [07:05] !iptables [07:05] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [07:05] how do i detect all my devices in ubuntu [07:05] as in all leds,etc [07:06] gldtn, iirc the pixmap is built in to gnome, /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libpixmap.so [07:06] shadeslayer: unless it's coming out in the next, oh, 15 minutes, that's not going to work for me [07:06] ubuntu is soo stable [07:06] kingnothing: hehe ok [07:07] how do i detect my led's on the keyboard??

[07:10] = / before I was under Gutsy and I never had a problem like this [07:10] spike__, I've picked up a bit about themes over the years, but never spent much time really understanding how they work [07:11] why the autocompletion does not work for normal user ? [07:11] bad [07:12] I left the creator of the theme a comment to see if he will respond, but I doubt it.. back in the days I use to create some theme for windowmaker and post it but but never responded to comment really [07:14] gldtn: are you under intrepid ?

[07:18] does linux have a command like nbtstat -a in windows? [07:18] palomer: wow fancy! [07:18] so, that's my problem... [07:18] chronographer: how to install ubuntu in a japanese laptop? [07:18] suigeneris, what does that command do? [07:18] I assume nobody here is from the UK??? [07:18] suigeneris: what it does ? [07:18] jigp: insert ubuntu cd into laptop... reboot... install as per usual [07:18] !ot | Riekal [07:18] Riekal: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:18] OK, one more question. Why is it that I am able to get online, and yet cannot properly run update-manager? [07:19] chronographer: ahh ok. I thought there is another cd to install first hehe thanks [07:19] Seveas, simplexio, it queries the hostname etc. by ip [07:19] Surlent777, software sources , I prefer mirrors.kernel.org [07:20] jigp: afaik computers are computers... the world over. (apart from maybe computers in cruise missiles and submarines...they are a little different... but Ubuntu prolly install still) ;-) [07:20] suigeneris, smbclient should be able to help you. Read its manpage for more details, my knowledge of it is slightly rusty [07:20] suigeneris: yes and no, do you mean portscan/sambastatus/wins status or what [07:20] kop: even wine's server isn't coming up [07:20] chronographer: ok thanks :) [07:20] ps ax | grep named [07:20] when i open some application. i cannot see the status bar that is located at the bottom of the screen. [07:21] kop: it then tells me "Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused)" [07:21] Seveas, windows help says: Displays protocol statistics and current TCP/IP connections using NBT [07:21] simplexio, ^^^ [07:22] suigeneris, smbstatus -p does that for localhost. Don't know if it can do that for remote hosts. But somewhere between smbclient and smbstatus you should get some info [07:22] quit [07:22] exit [07:23] suigeneris: smbstatus can do it remote server, if we are talking about samba shares and filelocks per server [07:24] how do i make the status bar which is displayed at the bottom of the screen always visible. What is mean by status bar is it is the bar, which contains the start button and displays all the windows in the minimised form at the bottom of the sceen [07:24] if you select the window you want you just need to click it [07:24] im unable to see it if i open my browser [07:24] sh2: when exactly is the bottom panel not visible? [07:24] anybody recommend a CLI program like file-roller? [07:24] simplexio, ah, good to know :) [07:24] i'm a complete ubuntu newbie and don't know how to get this ZNC tar.gz package properly installed and configured on Ubuntu 8.04 [07:25] Melik: tar? :) or do you want some sort of ncurses browser? [07:25] crdlb: yes [07:25] would tar be able to extract .rar files? [07:25] or .7z [07:25] crdlb: do you understand what im seeing [07:25] is a page with explicit terminal instructions? [07:25] i can upack the files... [07:25] sh2: I guess you're using compiz? [07:25] crdlb, read above [07:26] im using ubuntu 8.10 [07:26] but then i just have a bunch of files i don't know what to do with [07:26] simplexio, I don't have smbstatus. what package do i fetch? [07:26] Melik: no you need unrar [07:26] Melik: 7z needs 7zip support [07:26] nickrud, do you know if Aurora-Engine is a gtk2? [07:26] sorry i have it [07:26] suigeneris: not 100% which one has it, i think its on samba-client [07:26] damn i was hoping just 1 program to be able to do all that via CLI [07:27] Can someone tell me how to start xfce from a command line? [07:27] gldtn: I think it is but I'm not sure [07:27] ZeRo_FeniX_, startxfce4 [07:28] ty [07:28] or u can edit ur .xinitrc file in ur home directory and put "exec startxfce4" and then u can just use startx [07:28] to launch xfce4 [07:28] which btings o my mind qwuestion: which command gives owner package for file ? [07:28] hmm why did my xchat just closed unexpectedly? strange [07:28] i would like to learn c++ in ubuntu, what program should i use and where can i get it [07:28] simplexio, mtozses@mtozses-laptop:/var/www/deriaksesuarlar$ smbstatus -p 10.61.2.4 / ERROR: Failed to initialise messages database: Permission denied / messaging_tdb_init failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED [07:28] simplexio, dpkg -S /path/to/file [07:29] хало всем [07:29] ross_: minimal setup, build-essential (gcc) and editor you choose [07:29] !ru | den_kiev1 [07:29] den_kiev1: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [07:29] simplexio: I have installed build-essential [07:29] ross_: you do know that C++ is a programing language right? [07:30] scizzo: what do you mean? [07:30] hey ppl, I have large problems with my ubuntu install. It's swapping like crazy, and I just can't figure out why. If I sum up memory consumption in the System monitor memory column I get something like 400 MB and I have 1 GB in my laptop. Why is it swapping? The computer us more or less useless, having to wait 30 seconds for every little click, what is wrong, I'm geting crazy here.... [07:30] scizzo: it's an object oriented language [07:30] ross_: yes but still a programing language [07:30] scizzo: so i already installed build essential [07:31] scizzo: how do i open up gcc [07:31] ross_: you use g++ for C++ files [07:31] ross_: gcc file.c++ i think [07:31] hey all. is there any command equilvant of sys-unconfig in ubuntu ? [07:31] scizzo: how do i open g++? [07:31] ross_, gcc is a compiler, not something you 'open'. Please google for a c++ course. [07:31] scizzo: sorry i am confused [07:31] scizzo: I usually use visual studio for g++ [07:31] ross_: $ g++ file.cc [07:31] "sys-unconfig" reconfigure all the interfaces setting etc.. [07:31] riz_man, what does sys-unconfig do? [07:32] ah [07:32] Seveas: just read man page, im not 100% sure that you can use it to remote server, though it takes ip address argument without complaining [07:32] riz_man, dpkg-reconfigure comes closest [07:32] avialable in solaris & rpm distros [07:32] ross_: if you want to use a IDE I would suggest you look at anjuta, geany or such applications [07:32] scizzo: so in other words, i can just open wordpad and then save it as .cc file ? [07:32] hmm wrong guy.. suigeneris ^^ [07:32] scizzo: what is IDE [07:32] ross_: yes...since g++ is the compiler [07:32] scizzo: sorry i am terribly new at ubuntu [07:33] ross_: integrated development enviroment [07:33] simplexio: how do i get that [07:33] ross_: IDE = Integrated Development Environment like simplexio said [07:33] o lord [07:33] is anybody here using boxeee?

Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [07:39] spike_: try gtk2-engines [07:39] I have a message like this : gtk2-engines is required [07:40] when I can found this package ? [07:40] it is not in synaptic [07:40] spike_: it's in the main repository [07:40] gtk2-engines - theme engines for GTK+ 2.x [07:40] at least for hardy it is [07:40] for intrepid too :) [07:40] in "sudo myuser -", what is the meaning of the hyphen ? [07:41] apt-cache search gtk2-engines shows a few [07:41] i heard there is new default artwork for jaunty alpha 3, that true? [07:41] maxagaz, a typo.

[07:42] mtholdenss, anyway, what you want is sudo -u myuser -i ---- that gives you a shell as the myuser user [07:42] neil_d, you can't. You can share it on port 631 via cups though. [07:42] is anybody here using boxee [07:42] ? [07:42] Seveas, then, in "su myuser -", what is the meaning of the hyphen ? [07:42] maxagaz, anyway, what you want is sudo -u myuser -i ---- that gives you a shell as the myuser user [07:43] maxagaz: causes a login shell [07:43] Seveas: ok, something is listening on that port. [07:43] morning all! what filesys should i format my new 1tb portable hdd, ext3, ntfs, reiserfs or xfs? [07:43] maxagaz, it means 'give me a login shell' instead of 'give me a shubshell'. The difference is the resetting of some environment variables, making the - variant safer [07:43] xC, depends on what you [07:43] re going to do with it [07:44] Seaves: I have the package gtk2-engines installed but all of my themes don't work = / [07:44] Hey guy I need to add my gateway and modem on a diff n/w using virtual interfaces...

[07:45] gldtn: Have you found a solution? =/ [07:46] whats the chmod to make a file rw [07:46] xC: and you can actualy attleast read ext2/3 partition from windows nowdays, you just need get that fs driver from somewhere [07:46] xSlack, chmod +rw file [07:46] Seveas, simplexio, FYI, I found a perl script that does exactly what nbtstat does [07:46] xSlack: chmod u+rw file, for user [07:46] suigeneris, would you mind sharing it with me? :) [07:47] Seveas, sure [07:47] suigeneris: can you paste link, im intrested to know how its done remote === dopplerdeffect is now known as doppler|zzzZZZzz [07:47] simplexio: both read and write with fs-driver in win xp? [07:47] Seveas, simplexio, http://www.watersheep.org/~jim/perl/nbtstat.pl [07:47] xC: dunno, i have newer used it, but it reads attlest [07:48] crdlb; that's funny I just tried compile aurora gtk engine and it said that I need GTK+-2.10 and on there page it says I need version 2.12 or higher and I have 2.14.4 [07:48] i have a playstation portable ssh'd into my box, i wanna export gnome event messages to it, anyone know if its possible? [07:48] point me in the right direction maybe [07:48] spike_, I might be on to something [07:48] gldtn: I have the same version [07:49] shifty5, yes but not quite trivial. Those notifications are dbus messages. You could create something that listens to them. Maybe that's as simple as a correct invocation of dbus-monitor but I don't know [07:49] gldtn: you need libgtk2.0-dev [07:50] seveas, could i write a script to constantly reffresh the messages in my terminal? [07:50] shifty5, probably [07:50] ok thanks i'll look into this [07:50] can i convert ntfs to ext3? [07:50] Seveas: got it working, via openvpn and a local LAN [07:50] crdlb; is that just needed in order to compile? [07:50] xC, no. That means reformatting [07:50] shifty5: the dificultly is that those messages are usually on the session bus, not the system bus, so it's difficult to access them from outside [07:51] crdlb, ah, you have a point there... [07:51] crdlb, though it's not too hard to "steal" the session bus [07:51] gldtn: yes, it contains the development headers, which allow code to be compiled against it === desti_T2 is now known as desti [07:51] crdlib, from what i'm reading dbus-monitor will output that with the -session flag [07:51] crdlb; thanks a lot [07:52] simplexio: So if the user were (user) would the syntax be (chmod user+rw file) [07:52] shifty5: yeah, but you need to have DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS set correctly for it to find that bus [07:52] gldtn: It works ? [07:52] xSlack: nope [07:52] ohhh [07:52] shifty5, but by default you'll be in a different session than your desktop, if in any at all. You need to find the correct socket to use and set some environment variables [07:52] * Seveas out now [07:53] spike; I'm trying a theme that I know every engine that it uses.. I'll let you know in a min. [07:53] xSlack: file has few stats like thi: drwxr-x--x 23 sim sim 4096 2008-08-12 22:19 src [07:53] xSlack: no. it would be u+rw . the user name is not included. 'u' means whoever owns the file [07:53] no titlebar for fireox...how di i fix it? [07:53] gldtn: k === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [07:53] gldtn: firefox is completely fullscreen? (ie you don't see the panels either) [07:54] prince_jammys: its an access.log file which isnt allowing my general user to write to it [07:54] ganesh, is that your only application missing a title bar? [07:54] xSlack: ls -la shows them in terminal, it means that file is owned by user sim, group that own file is sim, and user has rwx rights and group has read and execute right and other have execute rights (rwxr-x--x) [07:54] crdlb, no why? [07:55] crdlb, oops wrong person you wrote [07:55] !mp3 [07:55] 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 [07:55] gldtn: oops, sorry :) [07:55] ganesh: firefox is completely fullscreen? (ie you don't see the panels either) [07:55] shifty5: so you can allow user to write in it various ways, probably easiest way is change permission o+rw file, so all can wirite into it [07:55] Seveas: what's the biggest advantage when running ext3 instead of ntfs on a portable hdd in xubuntu? [07:55] crdlb, nick completion can be a pain sometimes [07:56] shifty5: yes..only firefox [07:56] xSlack: read what i said to shifty5, [07:56] ganesh, then go into the view menu [07:56] crdlb:yes its full screen [07:57] gldtn: especially when I'm looking at a /lastlog :) [07:57] ganesh, i don't see a titlebar option in there, so i dunno [07:57] does anybody know how can i delete user data from boxee? === Anonymous is now known as Guest48861 [07:57] ~/.boxee/UserData [07:57] ganesh: ok, run this in a terminal: gconftool-2 -s /apps/compiz/plugins/workarounds/allscreens/options/legacy_fullscreen -s false -t bool [07:57] the problem you're seeing is an overzealous workaround feature in compiz [07:58] Say I setup a VBoxed Ubuntu server, how would I talk to it fro my master windows machine? [07:59] ZeRo_FeniX_: you could ssh to the internal ip? [07:59] ubuntistas: either browse to it in your file manager (set it to "show hidden files"), or with the rm command [07:59] ZeRo_FeniX_: or vncx === Album is now known as Album|Awy [07:59] -x [07:59] with rm? explain [07:59] !away > Album|Awy [07:59] Album|Awy, please see my private message [07:59] ubuntistas: rm removes files [07:59] crdlb:ya it worked.. [07:59] how can i remove it? [08:00] is this the PS3 room? [08:00] ... [08:00] ubuntistas: i just told you [08:00] Well, is it? [08:00] "show hidden files [08:00] I must be missing something: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-doc/+bug/310331/ -- this bug looks very troubling... [08:00] where is that?

How would I direct my windows machine to that file on the VBoxed distro? === Album|Awy is now known as Album [08:01] i ehave an away message?? [08:01] ubuntistas: your file manager should have a setting to "show hidden files". that will show files and directories that start with a dot [08:01] simplexio: nvm got it [08:01] thot it was just a nick change... [08:01] where is the file manager iam a newbie [08:01] malang [08:02] quit [08:02] ubuntistas: the app that you use to look at your files and home dir. "nautilus" [08:02] Album: yes, he was referring to the nick change; this is a very busy channel [08:02] so busy you cant change your nick? thats retarded [08:03] rtedgt [08:03] xSlack: chmod a+rw acces.log, note, anyone can remove file after that, or modify it. but hey it solves problem [08:03] Any ideas? [08:04] i have a boxee log file how can i delete it? [08:04] Does anyone know what happened to support for dial-up users in 8.10? [08:04] with rm [08:04] spike_, I got http://amadme.deviantart.com/art/T3K-103862094 to get rid of the message which also uses pixmap, but my title bar still doesn't look the same as his screenshot.. must need something else installed [08:04] ubuntistas: man rm [08:04] alsa crashed some time between yesterday and today. can i find out what the problem is? [08:04] ZeRo_FeniX_: you would need to bridge the connection so the vbox appears as an extra system on your lan [08:04] spike_, but the others still give me the error [08:04] * prince_jammys is fed up of people who want to use the command line but can't read docs [08:05] ZeRo_FeniX_: you can then simply access it as if you had an extra physical pc [08:05] you want to do it with rm? man rm [08:05] Alright [08:05] * JesseW is too, but would like to have some meta-docs to point them to... [08:05] I'll try that. [08:05] gldtn: = / so nobody knows how to fix this problem [08:06] Do you have any idea [08:06] Do you have any idea what settings I want to change? [08:06] why would you need to change any settings? [08:06] just make sure sshd is installed [08:06] Attach to: Not Attached, NAT, Host Interface, or Internal Network. [08:06] gldtn: The theme is nice = ) do you use emerald ? [08:07] try NAT [08:07] how can i delete my boxee account oes anybody know? [08:07] NAT was what I had it on so that it was merged with my computer [08:07] ZeRo_FeniX_: ive only done it in vmware aaages ago for a chuckle, i dont know how in vbox [08:07] What are you using to run your VBOX? [08:07] ZeRo_FeniX_: NAT if you want acces to internat with that virtual one [08:07] Windows Vista [08:07] use bridge mode... not NAT. [08:07] I want it to get a DHCP connection from my router if at all possible [08:08] Bridge mode. [08:08] simplexio: he wants to be able to access the vbox like a true VM (emulating an extra pc) via lan [08:08] I am using VMware [08:08] *shrug* [08:08] I'll just try them all I guess. [08:08] doesn't vmware give you an internal IP address for the virtual machine? [08:08] prince_jammys do u have any idea how can i delete my boxee account'? [08:08] is anybody here using boxee? [08:08] ubuntistas: Isn't there a boxee channel for such questions? [08:09] Not sure, I'm using VBox because I liked it better than VMWare [08:09] spike_, unfortunately not.. like I said I msged the creater of the theme, lets see if I get lucky and get an answer.. do you have msn? [08:09] yes it does... depending on configuration [08:09] gldtn: what's the problem? [08:09] alsa crashed some time between yesterday and today. (how) can i find out what the problem is? [08:09] momentul [08:09] ubuntistas: mv ~/.boxee/UserData ~/boxeebackup === [pErry] is now known as [perry] [08:09] momentul : linux [08:09] I use bridge configuration... and my DHCP router gives me an ip adress [08:09] suigeneris: What do the logs say? [08:09] i mean from the site [08:09] jammys_prince [08:10] ubuntistas: and if that doesn't work, move it back [08:10] momentul [08:10] I'm not sure what bridge mod is called on VBox, Not attached doesn't seem to be working. [08:10] crdlb; I keep on getting an error where it says under appearance; "This theme will not show as intended because the GTK theme " is not installed" [08:10] momentul [08:10] gldtn: Yes I have [08:10] ubuntistas: you mentioned that file, i don't know if that is the correct way. [08:10] suigeneris: read system logs, if you rebooted then dmesg wont say anything but if yo usimply restarted x you can read through [08:10] What is your ip adress of your Vista machine? [08:10] It's stuck booting up at "Configuring network interfaces..." [08:10] datelor [08:10] 192.168.1.13 [08:10] datelor [08:10] ok, and what IP does your VBOX get? [08:11] Hi guys [08:11] momentul [08:11] It's not getting one as far as I can tell. [08:11] momentul [08:11] ok, then I would suggest you take a look at you manual for VBOX. [08:11] gldtn: looks like you need clearlooks, murrine, and aurora [08:11] crdlb; the last one I installed I was able to get rid of the message but the title bar is not the same as show by the creator of the theme.. the title bar changes color but not the layout/looks of it.. it still appear as the title bar from human/clearlooks theme [08:11] momentul [08:12] gldtn: ah, there's no included metacity theme; you need to use emerald instead with that .emerald theme [08:12] I'm just going through the network settings until I get something that has my DHCP give the VBox an ip. [08:12] ActionParsnip, what could be the keyword to grep? [08:12] crdlb, seems like I have all.. what the command so I can see the ones installed [08:12] you could try using satatci in the meant time. [08:12] gimmepatience: vbox systems use a 10.0.x.x IP address [08:12] !grep [08:12] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

[08:12] crdlb; so I need to install the gtk2 and use emerald? [08:13] I'm having trouble setting up a PXE server [08:13] crdlb, or just emerald on it's own? [08:13] !pxe [08:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about pxe === Album is now known as Album|Awy [08:13] !find pxe [08:13] Found: kvm-pxe, pxe [08:13] What's the command to set my ip, I'm not entirely familiar with unix command lines yet. [08:13] I thought ubuntu wants to get rid of terminal 0.0 [08:13] how can i delete boxee account from the site? [08:13] gldtn: sounds like you've already handled the gtk part, so you need to install emerald and use that as your decorator (which means you also need to be using compiz) [08:13] crdlb, also does emerald rely on compiz fusion or can it be run alone? [08:13] Ah, I found the setting that has DHCP give it an ip [08:13] uhum.. [08:13] so I'll mess with this. [08:13] ActionParsnip, how am I going to find it? [08:13] gldtn: the theme creator really ought to include a metacity theme since he's not doing anything too fancy with the emerald theme anyway [08:13] Working sweet [08:13] ZeRo_FeniX_: are you using a 100% command line based system? [08:13] spike_, that might be our issue [08:14] I'm using the ubuntu-server-i386 [08:14] gldtn: maybe [08:14] suigeneris: find what? You dont have to find grep, you just use it, its in your path [08:14] I deleted my swap partition, and replaced it with another one in a different location. I changed my fstab, and swapon -s lists the partition. However, hibernation doesn't work anymore. The computer begins to hibernate, but when I start the computer up again, its a full boot process instead of a resume. Any clues?

[08:15] ZeRo_FeniX_: edit that file and you can configure ip addressing [08:16] gldtn: I have emerald but it doesn't work too for me ...

I'm installing it now [08:17] suigeneris: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Industry_Standard_Architecture maybe [08:17] programan, put that in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [08:17] So I can view my VBox server now on my host machine because I changed the network to host interface.

[08:20] =) [08:20] a question with the program [08:21] gparted (to partition stuff) [08:21] can u resize a partition ? [08:21] theoretically, I think [08:21] D_likescookies: its cool, i just find it quicker than synaptic which takes forever [08:21] like....which is .....being used [08:21] so say, ive installed ubunto on a partition (only 1 phsyical disk) [08:21] !resize | latrell [08:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about resize [08:21] How can I get acquainted with the nix file structure for a webserver?

[08:21] makes* [08:21] latrell: you can resize, make sure you run a backup if the data is important incase something goes wrong [08:22] nah thats cool, nothing important [08:22] just only thing...i cant highlight and resize... [08:22] ActionParsnip, can't find anything related to alsa in dmesg [08:22] does it have to be done command line based?

[08:37] ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [08:37] akventure: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:38] jigp: then if you tab complete stuff it will turn up [08:38] but still get this: [08:38] Setting up libcrypto++-dev (5.5.2-1) ... [08:38] Processing triggers for libc6 ... [08:38] ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [08:38] ActionParsnip: also how to locate the executable files? like mozilla firefox , pidgin and other executable desktop softwares [08:38] akventure: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:38] akventure: use pastebin in futue please [08:38] Anyone know the free port range off hand [08:38] jigp: which firefox; which pidgin which [08:39] xSlack: anything higher than 2000 should be fine [08:39] ctrl "c" & ctrl "v" are outlawed? [08:39] akventure: if its multiple lines like that then yes [08:39] how can I run MPD as myself at boot? I put mpd to run under gnome session and it runs as root, thus not reading the config files I have in my ~/ dir.. or do I need to link something together? [08:39] ActionParsnip: the icons of pidgin , firefox etc? because I want to put them in my dock.where to locate the executable firefox ? [08:39] akventure: imagine if we all started pasting huge blocks of text, the channel would be useless [08:40] <_DEL> i am having troube with my wireless card, hw do i activate it in terminal? its name is ath0 [08:40] jigp: try rummaing round in the place i pasted earlied [08:41] jigp: you could always run: sudo find / -name *.png [08:41] _DEL, sudo ifup ath0 [08:41] ActionParsnip : what about the executable mozilla firefox.desktop? [08:41] I'm sure this question is getting old but will RANDER & Nvidia /xinerama play nice w/each other on 8.10 or do I need a bigger hammer ? [08:41] <_DEL> n2diy, thank you [08:42] kop: you probably shouldn't be using Xinerama [08:42] im tryin to make a shortcut to a folder on my external hard drive, but it wont allow me, how cna i do this? [08:42] _DEL GL [08:42] did my question make since anyone? [08:42] crdlb, kinda fingered that but it is dual head [08:43] jigp: thats just a glossy file that points to the executable and sets a tonne of other stuff, if you open the .desktop in a text editor it will tell you where its icon comes from [08:43] gltdn, how are you starting it? [08:43] what would you say is the recommended minimum free space for an 8.04 installation? [08:43] hi guys... i was trying out a program to send a UDP message to localhost at port 5005 - wireshark reports ICMP as Destination Port unreachable (also a message on UDP_CHECKSUM_INCORRECT) - any ideas on this ? [08:43] or rather, what is the *ideal* free space for an 8.04 installation? [08:44] kop: the proper way is to just use twinview (ideally, you'd use XRandR 1.2, but nvidia only supports 1.1, which has no multimonitor capabilities) [08:44] dayo_, 10 gigs should do fine [08:44] dayo_, 5 gig [08:44] <_DEL> it will work on a 8 Gb hd, dayo_ [08:44] dayo_: I'd say about 5% [08:44] hi, anyone tried out the GNOME Pictures Folder screensaver? where does it pick up the images from ?? it's showing blank here [08:45] I have tried ~/Pictures ~/Desktop/Pictures ... no luck [08:45] kop: it's a bit confusing because XRandR 1.2 and twinview both provide the Xinerama extension to let applications know where the physical monitors are in the full X screen (which contains both), but this is not the same as the Xinerama you enable in xorg.conf [08:45] crdlb, which brings us back to the original problem no gui or cmd line control of screen res atm [08:45] Jari--: check te config for the screensaver. you may be able to make it a custom folder [08:45] defrysk, n2diy, _DEL, ActionParsnip: thanks! :o) [08:46] ActionParsnip: I have the config file, and it has no option for this === bangky_ is now known as bangky [08:46] Jari--: i dont use gnome so i can only mak intelligent guesses [08:47] ActionParsnip: does KDE have screensaver for this? slideshow?

Atm, it does work using ndiswrapper, but only when outplugged during initial boot and plugged in when the ubuntu loading screen appears. Too late or too early and a reboot is needed to get wifi to work. Any idea to get it fixed? Ndiswrapper does report error's when pluggin the adaptor to late.

You may want to see if there is a bug report relating to the wifi chip you are using [09:07] hi, i trying to start IRC bouncer on my PC, i started it, but i can not connect BNC with my IRC client. It's working only with ip 127.0.0.1, but no with my local network IP 192.168.*.* or public IP .. can i fix it on my pc ? how ? [09:07] Dykam: you could also try adding some bootoptions to disable acpi which may make it friendlier [09:07] i have just installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly and it kind but it still do not work [09:07] why/what [09:08] gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad also installed africaman ? [09:08] some advices for learning linux [09:08] Dykam: reboot, press esc to show grub menu, select recover mode for your current kernel, then select root console. type dmesg | less and use cursors to read up and down the log to see what is going on [09:08] lk_: what linux platform u wanna learn [09:08] !rute | lk_ [09:08] lk_: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [09:09] Dykam: have the usb thing in all the time [09:09] ok [09:09] ActionParsnip2, is dmesg not logged/ [09:09] Dykam: dmesg IS the log [09:09] because I can't reboot now, I've some downloads running [09:09] yes [09:09] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html lk_ [09:09] log the log [09:09] it has [09:09] ActionParsnip2, I know, but why reboot... it must be somewhere in the log already [09:09] Dykam: you dont haveto do it immediately, jeez [09:09] africaman, what are you trying to play / [09:09] ? [09:09] sorry, ActionParsnip2, you sounded like it... [09:10] Dykam: well you could also check that too, just for useful info [09:10] defrysk>yes [09:10] Dykam: its a computer, yu could tunr it off, go on holiday for 20 years and come back. It doesnt matter [09:10] crdlb, ok that's a first , it didn't segfault , now where to save EDID data ? [09:10] my sound will not just come or sound [09:10] I know ActionParsnip2 :P I'm not stupid, I just yhought you where planning to help me at this moment :P [09:10] Dykam: if you can have it in during a full boot to root console then you can read dmes there too [09:11] africaman, doubleclick your soundicon in the panel and see if all slides are open and unmuted [09:11] Dykam: if the dmesg looks ok then start looking into extra kernel options [09:11] does anyone have their own website and can spare to help a fellah for 10 mins?

[09:13] Dykam: yes, use ssh to get a remote console so you can access the system, as long as the server is running you can access it [09:14] i install some addons for vmbox yesterday and today my sound will not come [09:14] ActionParsnip2, I don't have a second pc available... and absolute no experience with ssh [09:14] <_DEL> africaman probably needs drivers [09:14] Dykam: hmm, not so good [09:14] africaman, i dont know much about vmbox, but maybe it has something to do with it, but its beyond my capabilities, sorry [09:15] thanks any way [09:15] im unable to see my panel when i open a mozilla browser [09:15] sh1: try press F11 twice [09:15] africaman: make sure you have installed the guest additions and that sound is enabled in the vbox's settings [09:15] africaman, maybe _DEL can help you out [09:15] ziroday: i have not enabled mozilla in full screen mode [09:16] del> can u help me [09:16] DEL>can u pls help [09:16] africaman, did you read ActionParsnip' s response ? [09:16] yes [09:16] good [09:16] i am on it [09:16] how do i upgrade one package? [09:16] sh1: okay, try hold alt and left click to move the window down [09:16] anyone has a script that can be simply ran to shutdown the system with root access? [09:16] dayo_: open update manager deselect every pacakge besides that one and update [09:16] ok my speakers (usb-ones) are fucked up [09:16] <_DEL> im not good with it, but i seem to always have probs like that, ussually turns out to be drivers africaman [09:16] I could really use some one on one help [09:16] ziroday: surprisingly it worked [09:17] my onboard graphics isnt showing in lspci what else can i do to find it? [09:17] they find them sometimes but sometims not [09:17] ziroday: on the server. not the desktop [09:17] sh1: great to hear it [09:17] the full screen checkbox us unchecked [09:17] dayo_, sudo apt-get upgrade [09:17] i dont know how it worked [09:17] dayo_: sudo aptitude upgrade should work [09:17] africaman: if you dont have vbox guest additions you dont get much in the way of virtual hardware [09:17] has anyone had experience with HP Pavilion TX2000 to run ubuntu? [09:17] ziroday: can you elaborate on the command? [09:18] sh1: sorry, not quite following you :). What can I do for you? [09:18] Pontif_La_Rouge: what piece of hardware is rtroubling you? [09:18] defrysk, ziroday: ok, i'll try that on my desktop first to see if it works [09:18] Ahhh ActionParsnip, I left kubuntu and went for ubuntu, got my wifi working straight off [09:18] i installed the gust additions last 9t [09:18] Pontif_La_Rouge: cool [09:18] ha [09:18] but everything else is giving me trouble [09:19] Pontif_La_Rouge: like what? [09:19] ActionParsnip2: > anyone has a script that can be simply ran to shutdown the system with root access? [09:19] ziroday: can you tell me why F11 need to be pressed twice. and everytime i open mozilla. i need to press F11 twice to see the panel [09:19] the touchscreen, getting the screen to rotate [09:19] dayo_, if its a downloaded package sudo dpkg -i /path/to/package [09:19] 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) [09:19] bohemian: sudo shutdown -h now [09:19] sh1: ah right with you, because for some reason firefox has decided to open up in full screen mode by default. You can try delete/move your profile and see if that fixes it [09:19] Pontif_La_Rouge: i'd websearch the model name with ubuntu on the end, ive never setup touchscreen [09:20] and also if there's a way to shut off the annoying beep sound everytime I hit backspace too much or what have you would be fantastic [09:20] I had a quick question, I am trying to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy but the upgrade keeps failing and apparently the prerequists-sources.list file has the original archive location listed and I don't know what to change it to. [09:20] Pontif_La_Rouge: blacklist the pcspkr module and sudo rmmod it [09:20] ziroday: if full screen profile is enabled View->FullScreen check box must be checked. however in my case it is unchecked [09:20] actionparsnip2> i have not install any os yet and i ust added the guest addition and some addons vmbox [09:20] Pontif_La_Rouge: blacklist is in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [09:21] ActionParsnip2: thanks, but how do i create a script that other user can simply run and i can embed the sudo password.. by the way i use sudo poweroff, how do they differ with shutdown -h [09:21] sh1: as I said, I have no idea why it does it. If you want a permanent fix then you can try deleting/moving your firefox profile. [09:21] ah [09:21] aye, thank you [09:21] every now and then, the window list on my panel just stops showing any new windows. removing the window list from the panel and re-adding it doesn't help, though restarting X seems to. Any ideas? [09:22] the "window selector" menu does seem to show all the windows [09:22] bohemian: you'd have to make the shutdown command not need sudo which is a risky game [09:23] africaman: how can you install guest additions if you dont have an OS installed on the vbox? [09:23] shruggar, you mean of the same desktop, of from all desktops ? [09:24] bohemian: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=670302 [09:24] defrysk, I'm not using multiple desktops [09:24] defrysk, and I have tried turning on multiple desktops and switching between, last time this happened. no difference [09:24] ActionParsnip thanks for the reminder but i'm using Userful Multiplier program that creadtes mulseats in ubuntu but it can't shutdown with normal unless you excute command in terminal [09:25] shruggar, you can check the prefs of your window list [09:25] <_DEL> join #fasttrack [09:25] shruggar, its possible window grouping has been turned on [09:26] bohemian: if you check that link, it links to a gentoo page which will allow you to put users in a shutdown group, then give the shutdown group admin access over the shutdown command [09:26] bohemian: this will allow you huge control [09:26] ActionParsnip yes reading now thanks [09:26] bohemian: np [09:27] I had a quick question, I am trying to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy but the upgrade keeps failing and apparently the prerequists-sources.list file has the original archive location listed and I don't know what to change it to. <--- Oh and I can't locate a suitable fix so the system will use old-release instead of archive. [09:27] best book for learning ubuntu, any suggestions? [09:27] so what if I put in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and it says permission denied [09:27] defrysk, actually.. I don't remember this happening before, but selecting "show windows from all workspaces" shows everything [09:27] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html constantine or ubuntu kung fu [09:27] shruggar, maybe you have more desktops running without knowing it ? [09:28] Anyone know the terminal command to have Elisa do a complete rescan of my collection? [09:28] crdlb, this too has it's down side ... [09:28] bazhang thanks I'll check it otu [09:28] out [09:28] defrysk, is "desktop" the same as "workspace"? Everything is currently visible in front of me, it's only on the window list that it's not showing them [09:29] crdlb, maximizing a window REALLY maximizes it [09:29] desktop is not same as workspace [09:29] 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?

[09:30] shruggar: are you sure your window manager isn't dying? [09:30] Pontif_La_Rouge, as long as you aren't using sudo, you aren't screwing anything up. [09:30] kop: mhh, that shouldn't happen as long as both monitors are enabled when X starts [09:30] shruggar, add a workspace switcher to your panel [09:30] hi, so how do I remove that crappy Vista from my hard drive using Ubuntu? If i try something myself ill screw up this whole computer! [09:30] kop: XRandR 1.2 doesn't have that limitation, but of course nvidia hasn't added support yet, still [09:31] crdlb, you workingo n getting screen rotation working? [09:31] shruggar, and set it to the amount of workspaces you wish [09:31] kop: also, you can statically enable twinview in your xorg.conf, but I have _absolutely_ no idea how that's done [09:31] or are you just discussing [09:31] crdlb, new windows still get decorated, can be moved, clicked on, raised, etc, those are all functions of a window manager, right? [09:31] shruggar: yeah [09:31] shruggar, and it is the same , sorry [09:31] crdlb, I'll find it , some day [09:31] shruggar: which window manager are you using? it looks like that taskbar stops working without a WM, so maybe the WM is breaking in some respect [09:32] mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/include/znc': Permission denied [09:32] make: *** [install] Error 1 [09:32] crdlb, it's this or deal with ATI or MAtrox or ...

[09:32] crdlb, Thank You [09:32] defrysk, I've had a workspace switcher on the whole time, though I've set "number of workspaces" to 1 (I've got two monitors and one workspace here at work, while at home I have one monitor and two workspaces, so having the switcher turned on lines things visually the way I'm used to seeing it) [09:33] crdlb, I'm using whatever the default is. I tried using compiz for a while, but my video card at work can't handle it at a decent resolution, so I think I'm back to the default now [09:33] Does Ubuntu/Linux have a decent Flight Simulator now?

[09:36] yes split rars is what im doing [09:36] doc``: could always run winrar in wine to see if its faster [09:36] is there any way to ask a window what workspace it thinks it's on? [09:36] chilli0 : m not sure cause i hv jst heard about it but if u would b able 2 run the emulator on your system u can buy joystics later. [09:36] mmk il have a look [09:36] feels like a bad workaround though [09:37] !u [09:37] U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information.

[09:44] yes [09:44] n2diy: just tweak settings [09:45] would that be under file, storage, security, power or advanced? [09:45] ActionParsnip, I've been playing with linux for ten years, that comes as a given. :) [09:46] Anyone available to help, currently? [09:46] n2diy: i assume nothing in here, millions have only used it a week. I treat everyone equal [09:46] !ask | roxy [09:46] roxy: 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. :-) [09:47] panesar_sandeep: looks like none are avalible [09:47] Please help me! How do I remove Vista from a partition in my hard drive, not messing up Ubuntu? [09:47] ActionParsnip, We're all newbies. :) [09:47] n2diy: indeed [09:47] can someone point me to a repo where i can find Xtleds?? [09:47] whats network service boot? [09:47] Oh I see, sorry "I had a quick question, I am trying to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy but the upgrade keeps failing and apparently the prerequists-sources.list file has the original archive location listed and I don't know what to change it to." [09:47] matamou all i hav found is to reformat C: [09:47] matamou: format the partition would be my guess, it will remove ALL data on the partition so copy out anything you want beforehand [09:48] What's the command to go to a directory there's ls and c something [09:48] * shadeslayer shakes n2diy hands and welcomes him to the ' open ' worls [09:48] !upgrade | Roxy [09:48] Roxy: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [09:48] **************d [09:48] *d [09:48] cd [09:48] ZeRo_FeniX_: cd [09:48] ty [09:48] chilli0: u can try cxbx by using it via wine, just giv it a try [09:48] ActionParsnip : will it harm the grub? [09:49] shadeslayer, thanks [09:49] :) [09:49] would anybody know why an avi file which plays normally on windows skips in totem [09:49] n2diy: what are you using?? [09:49] how would I add a command to the rc file in /etc/init.d? [09:49] while all the rest play fine [09:50] Phreakish: use VLC [09:50] shadeslayer, 1.6g amd, 256m ram, 8g HD, running Hardy [09:50] Phreakish, i suggest an error in the file, which some codecs can handle and some not [09:50] hardy?? why not lbex?? [09:50] moin [09:51] shadeslayer, LTS [09:51] ah [09:51] hm still cant that repo [09:51] 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) [09:51] Oh ActionParsnip, I already modified the sources.list file with the altered old-release lines. My problem is that when I attempt to do the version upgrade the manager defaults to "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-backports main/debian-installer" which doesn't exist and the prerequists-sources.list will not accept the old-release address [09:51] ActionParsnip: is xtleds added in the Kubuntu repos?? [09:51] thats another problem when i click vlc media player nothing happens [09:51] How do I create a new file? [09:51] !info xtleds [09:51] Package xtleds does not exist in intrepid [09:52] Daft_Punk: use a GTK theme [09:52] same if i right click avi and hit play with vlc [09:52] checked that already [09:52] shadeslayer, I don't need LTS, but I like setting comfortable for three years, if I wanted to upgrade every six months, I could use Windows! :) [09:52] ZeRo_FeniX_, touch [09:52] chilli0: so , is it working ??? [09:52] phreakish try running vlc in terminal and see what error you get [09:52] Roxy: you could edit all the codenames of your release to the next one up in /etc/apt/sources.list [09:52] n2diy: well i like to be on top of things [09:52] Okay [09:52] Roxy: if its that old, i'd recommend a clen in stall of intrepid / hardy (or wait a few weeks for Jaunty) [09:53] cooldduuudde [09:53] shadeslayer, i am using a gtk theme but using a file in my home dir, i can only make the text for icons white or black, not white with black outline or something so they can be seen on both dark and light bg's [09:53] <|HSO|SadiQ> I get disconnected from the internet .... NetworkManager: pppd_timed_out(): Looks like pppd didn't initialize our dbus module [09:53] Roxy: there may be a more graceful way to do it but im not sure [09:53] cooldduuudde vlc is not supposed to be run as root [09:53] Alright, I just assumed Feisty wasn't all that old [09:53] shadeslayer, so did I, and then I got burned with the DOS 6.0/6.2 BS, where running chkdsk killed your HD. [09:53] I'll try modifying the lines though [09:53] <|HSO|SadiQ> !network [09:53] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [09:53] phreakish i just said run in terminal, not as root [09:53] Daft_Punk: Daft_Punk: hmm,maybe you can customize the theme [09:53] i am logged in as root [09:53] oops [09:53] :O [09:54] lol...then log in as normal user [09:54] shadeslayer, that is not an option for a GTK theme [09:54] * shadeslayer nevers logs in as root [09:54] I found this guide on how to setup some stuff for phpmyadmin and it say to: 3. Go to /etc/httpd/conf.d directory and create a file with the name phpMyAdmin.conf (anything with the .conf extension will be parsed by Apache) and write a simple command: Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin but something doesn't exist anyone have any ideas what to do here? [09:54] chilli0: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/xbox-emulator-for-linux-298473/ [09:54] Daft_Punk: uh yes it is === nikolas_ is now known as Assurbanipal [09:54] is there any way to run it in root just out of curiosity [09:54] the httpd dir doesn't exist is it [09:54] shadeslayer, ok where is the option in any GTK theme (default) to change just the text color of the desktop icons? [09:54] so I'm assuming that there's a different place where I should be making this file. [09:54] Daft_Punk: use rt click>appearences>theme>customizw [09:54] *e [09:55] shadeslayer, there is no option in there... [09:55] in colors [09:55] tab [09:56] phreakish wait a min [09:56] Daft_Punk: colors tab>selected items [09:57] >text [09:57] nope gksudo vlc isn't workin....u can't run it as root [09:57] Lets say I wanted to check then set updates to download automatically only at 2-6 AM. How would I go about doing that ? A crontab with some kind of apt-get update && (something here) ? [09:57] Daft_Punk, hey dude ;) [09:57] Any ideas where I should make this file? as stated above? [09:57] shadeslayer, perhaps you are unsure as to what i am trying to accomplish, you know the icons on your gnome desktop? they have text underneath them to identify what the icon is. the text is default white, but can be changed to black or another SOLID color by creating a file in your home directory with a simple script that overrides the default. I want to make the text black with a WHITE outline or vise versa so it can be seen on both [09:57] light and dark backgrounds, the way you have mentioned is to change all the text in gnome, not just the desktop ones, also, it does not affect desktop text at all [09:57] Daft_Punk, i thought you solved that last week? [09:58] <|HSO|SadiQ> is there an alternative for network-manager?? [09:58] SuperMoopies, you may want to use unattended upgrades [09:58] SuperMoopies: apt-cron ;) [09:58] ooohhhhh [09:58] !info apt-cron [09:58] Package apt-cron does not exist in intrepid [09:58] b3rz3rk3r, why is your not b3r now? also, no, that was to solve it for LIGHT backgronds (changing it to black) but some backgrounds are light AND dark (like a gradient) and renders that useless [09:58] !info cron-apt [09:58] cron-apt (source: cron-apt): automatic update of packages using apt-get. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.6 (intrepid), package size 24 kB, installed size 220 kB [09:58] cooldduuudde thanx [09:58] ActionParsnip, I'm in Hardy [09:58] does it matter where I put a .conf file for apache to read it> [09:59] I have a friend who needs '3c509.ko'. I don't use Ubuntu so I've no idea how to find out what package he needs to install. [09:59] ActionParsnip: find that repo?? [09:59] ZeRo_FeniX_: yes it has to be where its expected [09:59] oskar-, how would I check in to that [09:59] shadeslayer: which repo? [09:59] xtleds [09:59] Daft_Punk, hehe, ,that sux.. so you want inverse color scheme now? [09:59] is it possible to backup the Whole ubuntu to a usb-hard drive so that I could bring everything back up after I format my hard drive? [09:59] I did a google search but this would be easier if I knew what sites or tools you're meant to look this up with. [10:00] ActionParsnip: Well I'm trying to make a .conf file with this in it "Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin" where should I put it to work correctly? any ideas? [10:00] b3rz3rk3r, no, i have a background that has a gradient from light to dark and i need the text on icons to be viewable so i need them to be dual colored, or shadowed, or bordered or something like in windows so you can always see it [10:00] ok has anybody used some usb speakers, mine are driving me crazy, have them working but not properly [10:00] b3rz3rk3r, why is your name b3r now instead of b3z [10:00] shadeslayer: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/tleds [10:00] chilli0: heres something for bridging i suppose, http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbgm/ [10:00] hey cooldduuudde if you can run stuff as root using sudo why do hackers always try to gain root [10:00] Daft_Punk, ah.. just felt like a change [10:01] sorry if im dumb [10:01] :how do u imploy reverse programming/engineering on windows applications [10:01] is there something way to tweak to achieve smooth connection [10:01] SuperMoopies, it is in unattended-upgrades. but maybe it is not so comfortable in deciding when the download should take place [10:01] something to* [10:01] oskar-, ehh [10:02] b3rz3rk3r, damn text is driving me insane [10:02] :how do u imploy reverse programming/engineering on windows applications [10:02] Hi there, everybody :) [10:02] hi [10:03] NateBenton, floods? [10:03] I bought myself a dedicated server the other day and plan to rack her in Chicago on the 8th, choosing Ubuntu as my distro of choice for the OS. [10:03] panesar_sandeep, at the risk of getting the boot , "with a bigger fsck'n hammer" [10:03] Daft_Punk, i realize that this isnt really a good fix for your problem, but in the mean time a plain background would do the trick no? At least until you can figure out this text color junk [10:03] However, my only problem is it doesn't have a CD drive. No problem there's the netboot, right? But does the server edition have a netboot version? :/ [10:04] kop: wat does dat mean [10:04] anyone know any opensource alternatives to cPanel? [10:04] ZeRo_FeniX_: zPanel [10:04] not open source, but free. [10:04] It also has Zantastico. [10:04] panesar_sandeep, That is probably beyond the scope of this channel, maybe the folks in #linux-kernel would have a clue? [10:04] ZeRo_FeniX_: what is cpanel, we have no idea [10:04] The free alternative to Fantastico :PO [10:04] panesar_sandeep, honestly w/o being a M$ partner the only way is emulation [10:04] I'm going to be using zpanel myself ZeRo_FeniX_ [10:05] <|HSO|SadiQ> I get disconnected from the internet .... NetworkManager: pppd_timed_out(): Looks like pppd didn't initialize our dbus module...how can I fix it??? [10:05] cPanel is a web control panel for accessing various web functions [10:05] ZeRo_FeniX_: http://thezpanel.liquid-network.net/home/ [10:05] b3rz3rk3r, your simpleton answer, has increased my level of frustration and rage towards the situation, and i now feel it appropriate to destroy something [10:05] Says for windows, I'm looking for a unix based one. [10:06] But yeah, does anybody know if the server version has a netboot like the desktop. [10:06] * Daft_Punk slowly turns green and giant with veins buldging out, all of his clothes rip off except for his purple shorts... he screams in agony and anger AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH [10:06] ZeRo_FeniX_: it is? o_O [10:06] Daft_Punk, lol.. we wont like you when u are angry? :p [10:06] That's what it said on the website banner [10:06] b3rz3rk3r, it depends if you like death mwa ha ha [10:06] !ot [10:06] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

I've heard of webmin, might try that. [10:07] hello, I have a script that I am trying to run via cron, but it isn't working, it mostly runs gnome-screensaver-command -l [10:07] But anyways, I'm assuming there isn't a netboot for the server version :P [10:07] aperson: did you chmod +x it? [10:08] Daft_Punk, then stay on topic here [10:08] * Daft_Punk cries [10:08] ActionParsnip: yes, I tailed /var/syslog and the script runs [10:08] ActionParsnip: and I keep seeing sh processes spawned, but they aren't locking the screen [10:08] aperson: and do you have #!/bin/bash as the top line in the script? [10:09] ActionParsnip: I can manually run the script fine [10:09] What's the command to download a .deb package then install it? [10:09] aperson: then its the cron syntax thats bad [10:09] ZeRo_FeniX_: sudo apt-get install [10:09] ActionParsnip: it runs via cron [10:09] ActionParsnip: it just doesn't work via cron [10:10] dawda [10:10] ZeRo_FeniX_: if its not on repo, download it as a file then run: sudo dpkg -i [10:10] ZeRo_FeniX_: you will have to satisfy deps manually [10:11] hi there [10:11] ActionParsnip, Flightgear takes a lloonngg time to load, initially, hopefully this is all setup?

[10:11] aperson, please check where PATH is set to [10:11] n2diy: should be, its configuring your profile with default fg stuffs [10:11] hi there [10:11] So would using Ubuntu, even if it isn't the server version, on a dedicated server to rack, there's nothing wrong or unstable about it, right? [10:11] petski: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [10:11] seeing how I can't install the server version due to lack of a netboot [10:12] installing the desktop and then racking it in a datacenter can't hurt, right? [10:12] has anyone know if it's possible to mirror existing installation? (I mean, create software RAID-1 adding a new hard drive) [10:12] petski: should I set that in the script? [10:12] what does `which gnome-screensaver-command` say? [10:12] NateBenton: thats fine, you'll be using resouces for X but otherwise its fine [10:12] the PATH cron uses could be different then the path in YOUR shell [10:13] OntzA: you can dd the data over and it will be identical [10:13] ActionParsnip, Yes, while I'm waiting, I could be studying IFR, as I'm running out of daylight. :) [10:13] /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command [10:13] I know [10:13] ActionParsnip: how do I download it as a file? what's the command for that? [10:13] OntzA: dd if=/dev/ of=/dev/ [10:13] okay, replace "gnome-screensaver-command -l" with "/usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command -l" to see if that helps [10:13] ZeRo_FeniX_: do you have a gui? [10:13] negative [10:14] ActionParsnip: Any tips to kill down the resources after it's all installed and done? I'm assuming things like removing the GUI would help :P, but anything else you can suggest? [10:14] ZeRo_FeniX_: wget http://wwww.whatever.com/path/to/file [10:14] can i do unattended instillation with ubuntu? [10:14] ActionParsnip: ty [10:14] NateBenton: you could always uninstall the x server and the desktop environt and the window manager [10:15] the question is how can you set up the raid-1 afterwards or Linux doesn't have any problems when you use mdadm to create the raid with that existing data and partitions [10:15] is there any place where I can ask about IPC? [10:16] Thanks :) I'm sure that'll help. I mean, it's a shame there isn't a netboot for the server version and all, but, I'll take what I can get, haha :) [10:16] amt2, try here, maybe someone knows the answer [10:16] I suppose it adds some sort of sectors to identify raid drives [10:16] OntzA: you can just copy the data over then access your raid controller to configure the array [10:17] OntzA: if its fakeraid (yuk) then im not sure [10:17] aperson, any luck yet? [10:17] I do not have a raid controller, I want to set up Linux software raid [10:17] hi [10:17] well, probably my question is extremely vague, since I don't knwo anything about the specifics of IPC. But basically, I'm listening for a message inside a loop. The first time I send the messages, it is successfully detected by a mailbox.

[10:44] Stevethe1irate: do sounds work in other apps? [10:45] Peddy: I'm afraid I don't understand You. I think I'll edit an existing file... Just I cannot find it. I forget what file that was. :/ [10:45] ActionParsnip: I haven't tried.. only really amarok [10:45] Ok, VLCs sound doens't work [10:45] Marsjanin, so you edited a system file, not created a new one? [10:45] But no error messages [10:45] ActionParsnip, I just tried it, and it didn't work. My terminal on tty2 is going to time out at log in.

[10:47] Stevethe1irate: well yeah but if sound works in other apps and just not amarok then you have isolated the issue.

[11:27] Jeanne-Kamikaze: thats all i can suggest [11:27] n2diy: Nothing out the ordinary. [11:27] although, you can install server version with a gui too i think [11:27] Huffameg: try disabling it [11:27] snek: can I do the opposite/ [11:27] ? [11:27] hmmm [11:27] any other words of advice? [11:27] Except that the base address is dead. [11:27] fevel: yes.. i have one running at home.. installed server without gui, then installed ubuntu-desktop [11:27] Stevethe1irate, what does ifconfig tell you about eth1?

[11:27] snek: Ok, thanks man [11:27] Huffameg: you could always rename ~/.mozilla to something else, rerun firefox to crate a new profile, then copy to .so between the 2 folders [11:27] Stevethe1irate, does it give you an ip address? [11:28] Um.. eth1 is the internal networks NIC [11:28] i guess ill just reinstall it === dtcrshr_out is now known as dtcrshr [11:28] Its got 192.168.0.1\24 addy. [11:28] fevel: no problem, server has some nice extra features i thought, like supporting the service command the way redhat/centos/fedora uses it :) [11:28] that's 8.10 server though [11:28] yes [11:29] n2diy: Since i assigned it 192.168.0.1, 255.255.255.0 [11:29] Hi! I'm contemplating dual-booting ubuntu; just wondering what the dual monitor support is like out-of-the-(metaphorical-)box? [11:29] ActionParsnip: well.. it seems that the adblock thing worked.. (oh, the shame! :S ) now I just have to find out how to make adblock make an exception.. [11:29] n2diy: make sure thats not the LAN ip of your router [11:29] Stevethe1irate, \24? can you ping 192.168.0.1? [11:29] Huffameg: indeed, you have a project now :D [11:29] ActionParsnip, ifconfig wouldn't show the router. [11:30] is there a way to open files if you are in nano [11:30] what does the (initramfs) mean like command line? [11:30] I can ping 192.168.0.1 from the gateway.. but not from any of the clients. [11:30] its come to that ...wont boot as such [11:30] is there a way to open files if you are in nano [11:30] vigo there is no grub into my usb [11:30] ViciousPotato, that could take you some time to setup properly.. kind of depends on the support of the nvidia/ati configuration tool [11:30] zilleplus: ctrl - o [11:30] quibbler: okay, no.. not really my kind of thing either.. ;) [11:30] n2diy: just make sure you dont conflict any ip addresses [11:30] snek: Hmm. So, would you say I should install ubuntu with one monitor connected at first? [11:30] zilleplus: no... [11:31] ActionParsnip, roger that. [11:31] ActionParsnip is there a way to load ubuntu..from the (initramfs) command line ? [11:31] ViciousPotato: no leave them both connected if you want, it will just only use one [11:31] not ctr O is for saving [11:31] n2diy: I can ping 192.168.0.1 from the gateway.. but not from any of the clients. [11:31] Ah, okay. [11:31] latrell: the minimal cd allows it [11:31] zilleplus: ctrl - r? [11:31] Thanks. [11:31] latrell: wait scratch that [11:31] ViciousPotato: after having installed the correct video driver through the Restricted Hardware option you should also get a config tool which will let you configure multiple monitors [11:31] k i guess my installation is currupted [11:32] lollan: Aha! that is why it will not boot, I think, so do a fresh download, check the MD5 , then put it on the USB fresh. [11:32] latrell: sure if you know how to instruct grub to boot [11:32] Ah, I see. [11:32] latrell: i'd look at reinstalling grub [11:32] is partner compoennt in apt repository still suported? [11:32] well i think i can get to that [11:32] Stevethe1irate, ok, I'm probably in over my head already, never worked from a gateway before, but, can the clients ping each other?

[11:34] quibbler: he found its adblock or something blocking it,he needs to add an exception so myspace doesnt moan [11:34] n2diy: They obviously can communicate.. they are basically acting as peers on a \24 network... Its just they cant talk to the GW [11:34] snek, can I use it with the last stable ubuntu ? [11:34] n2diy: and as a result, cant get onto the interwebs.

[11:42] cyzie: i am a php/mysql programmer and now also system/server admin for my company [11:42] latrell: format it to ext3 then you can mount it anywhere on your system (except /proc) anduse it as a storage hold [11:42] ActionParsnip: ehm.. i'm trying to disable adblock for different pages on myspace, even for the whole site, but all i get is ugly ads but no player.. [11:43] then its /dev/sda2 (and it has 5 [ubuntu],6 [ntfs windows server 2003],7[2mb of unusded stuff) [11:43] snek, cool. [11:43] does annyone know why my ubuntu sever 8 does noet shut down on the command "sudo shutdown now" but he go's to a recovery menu [11:43] Huffameg: its not something i use,maybe someone else can contribute [11:43] ActionParsnip: okay, thanks [11:43] i think maybe because the dev/sda6 is under the dev/sda2 partition ...its not working? [11:43] Huffameg: How about adding myspace.com as an exception? Or just don't use myspace at all. :( [11:43] the /etc/init.d/networking stop didn't work [11:43] woh do i fix it [11:44] like my NTFS parition is in side the main parition or something... [11:44] kinja-sheep: that's what i'm trying to do.. i've put adblock on disable for all myspace pages but the player still doesn't work.. [11:44] that not exactly comprehensible though [11:44] sorry, hopefully u know what i mean [11:44] latrell: its a logical partition on an extended partition [11:44] yeah extended [11:44] Huffamge: you're not using NoScript by any chance? [11:44] Huffameg: Disable the plugin and restart the firefox. Try again. If that doesn't work, then it sounds like a Flash issue. [11:44] and in that extended, NTFS partion and the ext3 for ububtu [11:44] as long as sudo fdisk -l sees it it doesnt matter [11:45] Hello! [11:45] just its not listed as a option on bootup now [11:45] windows server 2003 atleast [11:45] latrell: no, you have an extended partition with logical partitions making it up [11:45] ok yeah [11:45] what is the keyboard combination to get the rotating cube with compiz?

[11:47] ok [11:47] hello, i have problem with my archaic intel 845g graphic chipset. In theory, hardware acceleration is enabled (glxinfo returns "direct rendering: yes"), but for example viewport in Blender (or other 3d applications) is much slower than in Windows.

[11:48] snek: that's strange.. how come it doesn't work here.. [11:48] Huffameg: are you using adblock or adblockplus? [11:48] who can help me? please! [11:48] well, im using tw as it is very fast to me, the official give me like 5B/s [11:48] shiting slow! === Album|Awy is now known as Album [11:48] snek: adblockplus [11:48] ActionParsnip: got a sec?

[11:50] archman: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [11:50] thanks guys [11:50] ziroday: if it's in the repo's already then it should be shipped with it eventually too, no? :) [11:50] archman: sure if the kernelis no longer around, the headers are pointless [11:50] ActionParsnip: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d4a3ad45b [11:50] snek, my other repo will go to tw, then the partner, i willt ry some other mirror [11:50] snek, what does partner offer? [11:51] ActionParsnip: It can be chosen in my GRUB, if that counts... [11:51] cyzie: yes, that's fine.. i sometimes mix different countries as well, like for some things i have used germany and others belgium [11:51] snek: well if its in the repo then yes, but it unlikely to be.

I'm not sure how it is in shipping/pre-shipping Ubuntu yet. Is there stable 2d? Is there stable 3d? Does it work with hibernate/suspend? [11:55] archman: ok then look at what its saying can be removed and look at the linux-image packages in that list and compare, the version numbers must match exactly [11:55] cyzie: ok, i am not sure what the problem could be then.. strange that it only happens for that repo but not the other ones.. i'm stumped! === sale_ is now known as sale [11:55] archman: you can uninstall old kernels if you dont use them to gain ~30Mb a kernel [11:56] ActionParsnip: uname -r says 2.6.27-12-generic, just to make sure...

I have noticed in intrepid when in an application Open and the dialog opens to choose a file it takes forever for it to be populated.. its extremely slow any solugions/ [12:37] linny1: find -name "*.rar" -exec rar x {} \; will extract all the rar files as long as they are named .rar [12:37] Extreme_b: you can install the nfs-kernel-server package, which should install all dependencies en passant. [12:37] linny1: it could be 's instead of "s [12:37] coz_: using a non-default theme maybe? [12:37] jrgp, ah yes I am [12:37] jrgp, that's the issue?

[12:42] ActionParsnip, remember you told me to reboot with my wifi dongle plugged in, here is the log: http://pastebin.com/de1b048b - btw, I discovered I saved it to a file at 13:37 [12:42] coz_: "jrib". Check if it happens with a freshly created user [12:42] sipior: i want to act as a nfs server [12:42] jrgp, well this is a fresh install of intrepid [12:42] jrgp, with all updates and it occurs only after completeing the updates [12:42] zilleplus: with a serial line [12:42] coz_: ok.

[12:55] cherva: unfortunately, random crashes can be very frustrating to debug, and your best weapon is the careful collection of information over many events. so, i encourage you to keep a short written log of every crash, the time, what you were doing, &cet., until a pattern (ideally) emerges. [12:55] uriol: if you have a linux, then there should be a /home with a home-folder for each user inside. but the layout may be different, for example home folders in /usr/home [12:56] i am trying to use the program gnomad to uload some mp3 to my mp3 player [12:56] Dykam: some system use weird power management which the kernel may not like so disabling th acpi functionality can make things work [12:56] i don't get it if i type in auto eth0 then its say's the cammand not found [12:56] rara [12:56] uriol: and you are using the open file dialog in gnomad then? [12:56] sipior: good idea [12:56] I came in this morning and I can't log into my Ubuntu box.

Not sure you are hearing me. It's never getting to the password stage. It should at least prompt me for a password. it doesn't [13:16] jesus_: Calm down, it takes me a few minutes to google things just like anyone else [13:16] hello how do i check my ubuntu version ? [13:16] trae: the root login doesnt have a password [13:16] jesus_: You can fine-tune it in /etc/bash_completion [13:16] trae: as you are interfacing directly with the systems local keyboard [13:16] ActionParsnip, thanks bud for trying to help.

[13:17] jesus_: or turn it off entirely by commenting out the lines with "bash_completion" in /etc/bash.bashrc [13:17] trae, whats the problem? [13:17] trae: if you drop to recovery mode root console (instead of booting to ubuntu properly) you can be root and have guarunteed full access [13:17] , cd [13:17] i have probs with wine , it it whows gui but no content [13:17] trae: you can then set passwords and user group access [13:17] fader, but doen't that disable bash_completion entirely?

[13:18] also rm -rf .wine [13:18] on the config [13:18] obi: ok, you seem to just be ignoring what I say for some reason. The documentation I linked you to says that you can use the ath5k driver in linux-backports-modules-intrepid package. [13:18] , purge first [13:18] didnt make any difference [13:18] xXChippoXx, look at winetricks [13:18] hmm ok let me test purge then [13:18] There is an Evolution plugin 'Calendar Publishing'. What are its disadvantages against concurring programs? [13:18] , every prog, or just 'special'? [13:18] xXChippoXx: have you got the wine version from the official wine repo? [13:18] jesus_: If you disable the bash_completion stuff entirely, it should still tab-complete, but based only on what you've started typing. e.g. "cd D[tab]" should complete anything that starts with "D" whether it's a directory or not [13:19] jesus_: so my leaning would be to edit /etc/bash_completion to get rid of the PDF settings rather than turning it off entirely, but it's obviously up to you [13:19] winecfg , and when i try to install my photoshot cs3 it shows same stragnge lack of tesxts and images [13:19] xXChippoXx: have you installed wine-doors? [13:20] xXChippoXx: do you have the wine off the wine repos or the one from the repos you get when you first install ubuntu [13:20] fader, ok. thanks for clearing things up for me.

[14:34] SlimeyPete: It's cardbus [14:34] Ben_Cs: from source? dunno libs are usually not backported [14:35] Bram_P: ah, right. Okay. You need to find out what chipset it has, and for Cardbus + PCMCIA you can do that by: 1) open terminal from 'Applications' -> 'Accessories' menu; 2) type "lspcmcia". You need to insert your card before you do this. [14:35] the output of "lspcmcia" should tell you what chipset the card uses. This will make it easier to find out how to make it work with Ubuntu. [14:35] how do i find out what volume my MAcOS install is on? like what dev/sdxx? [14:36] Charliehorse: sudo fdisk -l [14:36] erUSUL ty!

If that fails, do the lshw command I gave you and look for the Product Name - that'll usually give a clue as to exactly what chipset your card uses, and then you can type that into google or the ubuntu forums (or IRC) to find out how to make it work.

[14:54] * ActionParsnip uses nano [14:54] hello [14:54] altrortla: probably nobody know anything about your problem... myself never heard of the driver you mentioned === eric is now known as Guest29667 [14:54] altrortla, whats the problem? [14:54] I've got my standard make file, I've got gedit - I'm happy. [14:54] I should prolly use eclipse, but... there's no rush. [14:55] Eclipse is... big [14:55] GaRRu: use simple-ccsm [14:55] and on my Intrepid system it fails to work [14:55] !ccsm | GaRRu [14:55] GaRRu: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [14:55] Too big for a small prog, hence gedit and make [14:55] I think the Sun-Java6-jdk package was compiled against an X library that's missing a bit in Ubuntu, or something [14:55] anyway, it's error-tastic [14:56] SlimeyPete, - I don't have errors w/ it (x64) [14:56] i use the ia32-java packages or icedtea [14:56] r3dux: Hmm, I'm on x64 too. Though... Eclipse *did* work the first time I ran it, then I installed SoapUI and it stopped working. Perhaps that's the cause. [14:56] java sucks anyway [14:56] Maybe SoapUI tries to make use of some graphics stuff that standard Eclipse doesn't. [14:57] Hi all.. I am trying to convince some colleagues that ubuntu is doable even in business environment... Their strongest argument is thta with Windows "you can do 1 install and replicate on 100 machines"... I'm sure there's a way of doing it for ubuntu to... any ideas? [14:57] hello [14:58] lorenzosu: get an apt-server which will act as a local repo [14:58] !clone | lorenzosu [14:58] lorenzosu: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [14:58] lorednzoud, many. [14:58] lorenzosu: you can then put packages on there and it will install [14:58] lorenzosu: use clonezilla [14:58] ActionParsnip: How does that work ? (apt-server) [14:58] lorenzosu: can replicate to 100 machines over the network or so they claim [14:59] I don't find the need to shout the joys of linux from the rooftops. Anyone who uses it will see the ups and downs. [14:59] lorenzosu: http://clonezilla.org/ [14:59] SpareBit: perhaps to make it easier.. since most packages you use are preinstalled anyway.. any additional packages can be done with aptoncd.. [14:59] <== IT Tech for school in somerset UK [14:59] r3dux: me neither, its another OS with its fair share of issues [14:59] !aptoncd | SpareBit [14:59] SpareBit: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [15:00] thanks Scunizi [15:00] thanks all.. [15:00] ActionParsnip, I use linux because I'm now comfortable with it and it does 99% of what I used to do in windows, and another 80% of things I couldn't. [15:00] So what would be the procedure? [15:00] - install on a machine [15:00] - do clonezilla [15:00] - How to replicate automatically, say over network boot?

[15:02] SpareBit: you may think Ubuntu is great but if it doesnt fit the requirements if the system as an OS then its not good [15:02] my keyboard is working (caps lock, alt f4 gives me shell@) [15:02] How do I open a program in the terminal and then have my terminal back? I'd like to open gedit with sudo but that takes over my terminal [15:02] Ronald: gedit & [15:02] kevinly: can you use mouse to choose console login? [15:02] I downloaded a deb package, but it said I should install with apt-get wiith force install, how can I point apt-get to a path? [15:03] !gksudo | Ronald [15:03] Ronald: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [15:03] ActionParsnip: no mouse either [15:03] because I already got it downloaded [15:03] Ronald: gedit & disown if you want gedit to stay open if you close the terminal [15:03] kevinly: sweet! [15:03] how in gedit I make it to mark the closing curly brace when I point to the opening one? [15:03] vigge_sWe: sudo dpkg -i package.dev [15:03] vigge_sWe: Or open it with gdebi [15:03] thanks guys. I'll have a look at that link [15:03] Ronald: put a & at the end of the command, it will give you the terminal back and the command will run. If you close the console, any apps it spawned will die too [15:03] , sudo dpkg --force-all -i xyz.deb [15:03] TuxMan: look in the preferences [15:04] TuxMan: Preferences first tab [15:04] SlimeyPete: I did download all the packages and installed them, what should do now? since I can't find it...

[15:42] nuudle; pine? [15:42] mib_xvcepyoe: if it's in the same network, you should be able to ping the ip of the server [15:43] mib_xvcepyoe: yeah if u mean show up and announce itself isnt that into the realms of UPnP?

[16:20] It's a distro [16:20] You will want to ask in #java [16:20] mib_efghw1ho: the apt-get update is only to re-sync indexfiles [16:20] storbeck: yeah a distro on the linux os right...?? [16:21] After updating, I cann't enter into desktop. How to do? [16:21] pronoy: Is UBUNTU ITSELF the cause of your problem? [16:21] oCean_: lol sorry im kind of new to linux [16:21] how do I reload changes in the modprobe blacklist without rebooting please? [16:21] mib_efghw1ho: if the apt-cache search command did output (amongst others) the openssh-server package, that you might want to try to install again [16:21] evride, I pasted it into a pm [16:21] mib_efghw1ho: "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" [16:21] storbeck: nm i said [16:21] pronoy -> add $CLASSPATH to /etc/environment [16:22] oCean_: ok so the command you told me downloaded the packages from ubuntus server? [16:22] What's the name of the VNC Client 'Remote Desktop' that Ubuntu's got installed by default? [16:22] mib_efghw1ho: no not really, it fetched indexfile of all specified repositories specified in /etc/apt/sources.list [16:23] mib_efghw1ho: throuth the indexfiles, apt-get know where to download a certain package from. Since there are more than one repositories [16:23] Huufarted -> vino [16:23] Is there a console-used xchat tool? [16:23] can someone IM me please for a check on the Square moving programme [16:23] *through [16:23] n8tuserf, thanks [16:24] oCean_:hmm lol idk I'm a noob when it comes to linux i got windows down but im horrible at understanding linux [16:24] oCean_ im guessing you mean it like dled a list of where the source of the packages? [16:24] maowos: What are you talking about? [16:24] mib_efghw1ho: once you get the hang of it, you'll never return. :-) [16:24] mib_efghw1ho: yes, indeed [16:24] oCean_: hmm makes sense now [16:25] mib_efghw1ho: and now, apt-get (probably) knows where to fetch the openssh-server, so you can try the install command again "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" [16:25] Yesterday, I updated my ubuntu 9.04. Now I cann't view my desktop's toolbar after logged in. How to do? [16:25] maowos: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion. [16:25] oCean_: so the sudo apt-get update command updated the sources but what did the apt-cache search openssh do? [16:26] Hey guys, I have an eeepc with ubuntu and the wireless connection is completely missing [16:26] ok [16:26] mib_efghw1ho: What is your guess as to what it did? [16:26] any ideas for getting it back? [16:26] it used to work [16:26] jeremyclarke: Can lspci find it? [16:26] storbeck: guessing it searched to see if the package source was now available? [16:26] storbeck: huh, thanks, i'll try that, CLI program right? [16:27] yes jeremyclarke [16:27] yes mib_efghw1ho [16:27] mib_efghw1ho: well the 'update' did in fact an update of the apt metadata. (not 'source') the apt-cache performs operations (such as search) on/in that metadata [16:27] how do I reload changes in the modprobe blacklist without rebooting please? thanks [16:27] oCean_: Ok cool thanks and before i stop bothering you lol let me ask one more thing [16:28] lasivian: modprobe -r the blacklisted module and try to load it again ?

[16:30] hello [16:30] jeremyclarke: go into /usr/src/yourkernel - then sudo make menuconfig [16:30] darn RPS left [16:30] then reboot into the new kernel [16:30] i want to learn speak english [16:31] any body home? [16:31] mib_efghw1ho: sorry, never saw *that*. Did you install openoffice from the ubuntu repositories?

[16:34] oCean_: nice it works now, wow [16:34] mib_efghw1ho: meanwhile, i found something on OO and dashes: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/openoffice.org-menu-turned-to-dashes-703059/ [16:34] i need to type bjork with the proper 'o' into a music search program. I know I can do that with charactermap, is it possible to do that from the keyboard without additional software? [16:34] mib_efghw1ho: ok! [16:34] altrortla: yes [16:34] oCean_: yeah thats how it was exactly the other day [16:34] storbeck: hmmm, when you say "reboot into the new kernel" does that involve more than a normal reboot? [16:35] jeremyclarke: yes [16:35] oCean_: i didnt understand why it was happening all i did was an update nothing else and it became like that [16:35] You have to add the new kernel to your boot manager [16:35] rndm: switch to another keyboard layout ;-) [16:35] Myrtti: i know nothing about the non-us layouts. I was hoping for some sort of control sequence [16:35] mib_efghw1ho: I just skimmed the link I send. Maybe a solution is in there.. on those issues most likely Google is your friend :) [16:35] oCean_: Nvidia driver wow thanks man thats why wow i installed teh nvidia proprietory driver [16:36] mib_efghw1ho: there you go :) [16:36] how i can to install new font in ubuntu?

Don't recommend Google? [16:37] storbeck, indeed dont [16:37] !fonts | mohsen [16:37] <_VIM_> if people wanted to search google all day, they'd not be here asking for help :) [16:37] mohsen: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?

No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [16:37] oCean_: now i know ive asked a lot of questions but let me ask one more question lol, is it possible for me to do something liek launch a movie on my home computer rom school through ssh or not? [16:37] Wow [16:37] Hello Guys, I did a reboot and of course everything is running smooth again just like it always does for a day or two and then my sound will drop out or hang up and I'll reboot again ....uh, this was one of the reasons I stopped using MicroCrap's WinBlows ...I have had some very sharp minds try to help me fix this problem, but we had No luck and I'm frustrated. I have been told that there were some sound issues with pulseaudio when 8.10 [16:37] was released (if I'm remembering correctly.) Will these sound problems be worked out on the next release? [16:38] storbeck: "go find the answer yourself" is not an answer. [16:38] how do i restart sound? [16:38] without restarting my computer [16:38] RPS: if it does it in windows too it's probably your hardware [16:38] _VIM_: give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime ;) [16:38] storbeck: how do I add it to the boot manager? [16:38] <_VIM_> well that theory doesn't work here storbeck [16:38] lol RPS, i killed my audio trying to see what you are experiencing [16:38] now i cant start it again [16:38] jeremyclarke: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [16:39] storbeck: so let's set the /topic to http://google.com and set +m [16:39] mib_efghw1ho: well, yes. ssh takes the -X argument to forward X. There are also some options to connect remote using VNC, XDMCP, freenx etcetera [16:39] rndm, this laptop is a Dell D620 that I've never used XP on, except when I 1st got it. [16:39] <_VIM_> mneptok: lmao [16:39] mneptok: That's a little extreme.... but whatever. It's apparently the rules here so I'll adbide by them... [16:39] storbeck: thank you [16:41] oCean_:well, i know vnc but from what i know that requires a graphical enviroment unless im wrong [16:41] mib_efghw1ho: yes it does, but running a movie requires that also :) [16:41] <_VIM_> but to tunnel via ssh, don't the school have to have ssh ports open? [16:41] As far as I know this is a Ubuntu problem and I have my fingers crossed that it will be worked out with the next release [16:43] oCean_: I think i was a little bit unclear what i meant was like i have a computer at home or w.e. and im at school but i want to be able to play a movie like launch a movie player and play a movie on my computer at home not at school so basically use the computer at school as sort of a remote control [16:43] RPS: those issues ('works fine for 2-3 days, then... ) are the hardest. [16:44] oCean_, thanks for the info ....as sad as it is to hear. .LOL [16:44] oCean_: Also, im talking about this in terms of lets say i install openssh on my windows desktop can i control it from a school computer [16:44] RPS: sorry. Did not mean to make you even sadder... [16:44] mib_efghw1ho: is that even possible? imagine how much bandwith it takes [16:45] mib_efghw1ho: once ssh'd into a machine, you can execute everything on *that* machine to run on *that* machine, yes. === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix_da_catz [16:45] credo: why would it not be possible ure not streaming anything ur just using the laptop as remote control not streaming the movie or w.e. to the laptop at school === storbeck is now known as storbeck`afk [16:46] ok if that, then- maybe [16:46] but not streaming [16:46] oCean_: ohh ok cause ive looked online at some ssh commands but never found anything to launch a program or open a video file only to copy files and move them [16:46] !away > storbeck`afk [16:46] storbeck`afk, please see my private message [16:47] hi all! i'am back again ... i'am having a problem with NetworkManager and wpa [16:47] oCean_, I've been away from my home this winter and I've talked with lots of people over the phone about how much I'm enjoying Ubuntu, but this one issue is the only thing I've ran into that I can;t seem to over come. I have tried to create every type of issue I can think to work on and I've conquered them all but this sound issue and iTunes. Everything else is smooth and trust me when I say I've tried a zillion experiments. .LOL [16:48] i just uploaded the log to pastebin [16:48] http://pastebin.com/d47fe967c [16:48] hi guys\ [16:48] RPS: ur running itunes through wine? [16:48] mib_efghw1ho: well, once ssh'd into a server, when you do something like "export DISPLAY=:0.0" (which would be the server's display) you can run "xclock" and it will start on the server's display. So you should also be able to -in stead of xclock- run "totem file.avi" [16:48] RPS, itunes runs in linux? [16:49] via wine but very very slow [16:49] iTunes runs badly in Windows [16:49] * erUSUL Apple's DRM.... [16:49] RPS: itunes is garbage use teh rythombox player [16:50] or Audacious [16:50] RPS, indeed rhythymbox can sync with ipods quite well [16:50] how about iphone? [16:50] i, myself, use foobar2000 but then again i dont have ipod and i primariy run windows 7 [16:50] I've had No luck getting iTunes to work and Yes it hardly works in WinBLows, but I have a ipod touch and it will not work with anything but iTunes, from what I have been told. [16:50] Whats the short cut for minimizing a window? [16:51] Yeah RPS is actually right ipod touch doesnt work in anythign else from what I've read [16:51] Which other linux distributions are that wholesome as Ubuntu?;-) [16:51] yes, l like it, foobar2000 rules, but it seems they'll never develop one for linux... [16:51] RPS: what i would suggest is to install virtual machine of windows xp or w.e. and use itunes on there [16:52] can someone here tell me how to enable hardware acceleration on a Acer Aspire X1200 desktop? [16:52] If anyone know figures that trick out, I'll sell the BRAND new Asus laptop that is sitting folded closed sitting 3 feet to my left as I'll have No reason to own it. [16:52] RPS: that shouldnt give u a problem [16:52] Why is virtualisation using qemu or wine very very slow??? [16:52] RPS, give me a minute. I know a link for you. [16:53] anyone? [16:53] I'll admit that I'm a bit lost on running virtual machines [16:53] RPS, are you averse to jailbreaking your iPod touch?

The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).

[18:16] <_VIM_> mikeypizano: there is a GUI for rsync called grsync :) [18:17] corey: Yay! enjoy [18:17] <_VIM_> no [18:17] I am probably going to further shrink my vista partition now [18:17] in repo or do i add a new repo for grsync [18:17] corey: remove it ;) [18:17] corey, thats not a bad thing [18:17] <_VIM_> it doesnt have to go on a flash drive unless the other comp is not connected to your network [18:17] oskar- : alright, thanks for the info. :-) [18:17] kristian_, if you're on the stock default installation, then yes thats the way to go. but if you're using a different video player audio player etc then ubuntu-restricted-extra wont help you much, it will install alot of bloat however [18:17] I cant do that!

[18:18] Yeah I know but, It would make living with her difficult [18:19] dont use Wubi [18:19] if anything vista breaks it ;) [18:19] corey: How old are you? [18:19] ruadh, I don't know any reasons why not. [18:19] 18 [18:19] dude come on! [18:19] I dont like wubi [18:19] Thanks for your help [18:19] ruadh, ubottu is just a bot.

[18:20] <_VIM_> um no i dont do pm's sorry :) [18:20] corey: Then, it's safe to resize the Vista partition with GParted. I did it once and it's safe and reliable. [18:21] have aim or anything?

[18:21] <_VIM_> mikeypizano: its better to ask the room for support issues , chat is in #Ubuntu-offtopic [18:22] corey: you should of format it and install ubuntu over :P [18:22] oh [18:22] i dual boot and god i dont use window anymore [18:22] corey: Of course, that's normal. Today I resized a 4gb usb stick partition to 1gb and it took almoust 15min [18:22] I still need to transfer all my funny pictures... [18:22] can i sync unison with fw400? [18:22] otacon: +1 :-D [18:22] lol [18:22] I had no idea it would take that long and I had to miss class === mouse_ is now known as mouse [18:22] hey, he is a my clone! [18:23] corey: you could install on a separate partition, then, when you're ready, remove vista partition. [18:23] after I install Ubuntu (8.10, alternate CD 64 bit) on a computer with 5 HDD's, and reboot at the end, the computer fails to boot (black screen, blinking cursor, no message). I think it is looking in the wrong place for the /boot partition. What is the correct way to install a boot partition that isn't on (hd0,0)? [18:23] mikeypizano, or you can just tar your entire home directory and copy it over to the other machine, that will transfer ALL your setting for all your apps [18:23] rakudave: im having a hard time with my usplash screen settings :P [18:23] does anyone know of a text to speech program for ubuntu? [18:23] thats what i did [18:23] <_VIM_> mikeypizano: well I do know unison has the capability to do ssh connections, not sur ebout Firewire though. [18:23] Otacon22: wait a sec :P [18:23] everything looks right but I have no wifi === otacon is now known as xshell [18:23] well i could always unplug second router...

[18:23] wifi shows up in ifconfig and iwconfig, the right driver is loaded that has worked before, Even gnome shows a wireless connecting but shows no networks [18:23] <_VIM_> just type it in a terminal mikeypizano [18:24] i'm totally stumped [18:24] What do you mean? [18:24] Do you have a question? [18:24] i opened the gui app, i mean options wise and stuff [18:24] Why do I still have vista? [18:24] vim, can unison do the files too?? [18:25] is it possible to improve/increase your wifi card's signal strength? [18:25] <_VIM_> mikeypizano: one last thing if you wanted this to be automatic like every day, you can use gnome-schedule (GUI for cron) and set up rsyncs command in that [18:25] corey: No, what are you doing in this chat, what is your question, your problem (if any) :D [18:25] <_VIM_> mikeypizano: of course [18:25] anyone know how to install new deb packages into the command shell of the alternate CD installer?

Or possibly a combination of those. [18:31] would i have to do library seperate? [18:31] I'm using distro 8.10. I just installed oo 3.0. when i enter the command man openoffice --version, openoffice start up. is the a know problem?

For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) [18:34] nick_h[laptop]: 14 inches from it?! You are probably desensing the receiver on the card. If you are that close, plug in [18:34] nick_h[laptop]: this was working just recently, I tried to add a newer usb wifi item with a different chipset and since then it has not worked even after rebuilding the madwifi drivers [18:34] sorry .. should have done that with /msg.. I was just curious what it was. [18:34] HELLLOOOOO [18:34] Is there a special way to install PCI Nic drivers? Or do I need to recompile the kernal? [18:34] ppl good evening plz i need help ...!! [18:34] <_VIM_> mikeypizano: ok you need to set up a source and destination... so you have to choose if you want computer #1 to put the data on a usb or whatnot... [18:34] nick_h[laptop]: The power density at that range is probably just wailing the card inside your comp. [18:34] hello, new to ubutnu and linux OS need help [18:34] clandestine_j: no no, i'm about 6 feet from the router. lasivian is 14" away [18:35] ok, so where is source again [18:35] <_VIM_> so source would be something like /home/mikey/.rythembox/ or however it's spelled [18:35] Reav3r: most drivers come already with the kernel. just plug the pci card and boot [18:35] Reav3r: Most all nic's are recognized and functional.. if your's isn't they are cheap and you might consider just replacing what you have.

You'd have to use pscp.exe from within windows to copy files from a remote ssh server to your local windows computer. [19:08] mib_5co2lhui, do you use also a ssh server on the machine 192.168.1.2? [19:08] giovani: I'm writing an email client. It can't have that done manually. [19:08] elad`: your mail client does not talk to the receiving smtp server directly [19:08] that's what an MTA is for [19:08] Oh, right. Silly me. [19:08] no, I do not have a server, but i though i could copy it through putty ohh well [19:08] your mail client talks to YOUR MTA (your smtp server) [19:08] and your MTA talks to gmail's MTA [19:09] and it handles lookup the MX records for the domain [19:09] mib_5co2lhui: pscp.exe is available on the PuTTY website [19:09] can anyone help me plz? [19:09] your client does not get involved with that [19:09] in what directories the system looks for shared libraries by default? [19:09] giovani: you are being a bit too specific [19:09] giovani: google has different setups for mail services. [19:09] Pici: ok sounds great just one question if i was running server i could copy it no problem right? [19:09] haha [19:09] is there any way of determining the ssh host fingerprint of a machine before I connect to it remotely via putty ?

[19:20] oskar-: yes [19:20] M1DLG: identify the process, and kill -9 it [19:21] i'll play [19:21] you can find the process by looking at the output of "ps aux [19:21] " [19:21] M1DLG, giovani: kill -9 is overkill. Try just kill first. [19:21] M1DLG: ps -aux | grep wine [19:21] Is there a way to get "smooth scrolling" with Compiz using the wheel of my mouse? I don't want jump 10px every time but shift the screen more gradually [19:22] Pici: it was just in the effort of shortening the instruction list [19:22] I am not finding the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH shouldn't it be defined by default?

The app does not support a SOCKS proxy, but it does support an http proxy. The problem is (i think) that an http tunnel can only be set on one port at a time. So i can get hald the app to work by tunneling port 7001 thru ssh to my home pc, but not the others. I also tried tsocks but that didn't seem to help. Any ideas?

When I tried to connect with NX Client, it kept saying FreeNX was not running even though I know it was. Are there any gotchas with FreeNX configuration, as far as iptables, sshd_config, etc.? [19:43] fooman: can you confirm that the card is seen by linux, and that there is a wifi network to see? [19:44] lasivian, maybe the driver does not report signal strengths? if the device can detect ssids, it is working at least a bit ,9 [19:44] ;) [19:44] Hello my name is Tiffany and I'm new to Ubuntu [19:44] uptill3, maybe on acid they would... i think that's what the developers were taking when they wrote the docs [19:44] uptill3, yes, i see wifi0 [19:44] Multiple-level wildcards unsupported - what the hell i sthat supposed to mean?

It boots on this computer though. It's SATA, and I also tried a PCI to SATA card, that let me boot that drive on this machine, and the other machine still won't boot, any ideas?

It doesn't look like they directly support it, but it looks like there's firefox tools that can add a signature to your text. [20:00] like task bar on windows [20:00] Trijntje: can I PM you please? [20:00] zimbres: but /usr/local/include/root isn't [20:00] Tiffany sorry thats switcher [20:00] zimbres: you'd have to include root/filename [20:00] hi, how can I remove an icoon from within my workgroup (network) [20:00] zimbres: instead of just filename [20:00] hey i just got a brand new xps studio 16.

[20:00] vadim: yes [20:00] I try to do it manually and it says "Access Denied" [20:01] oskar-, It did originally. This machine has been my boot drive for a while. [20:01] Tiffany it installs by default with 4 [20:01] what is the workspace for? [20:01] Firztspawn, a smb file sharing workgroup? [20:01] uptill3, How do I include this path? [20:01] oskar-, no [20:01] ok I don't see 4? I'm sorry [20:02] Tiffany that will install the icon on the panel to cange desk tops and hence spin the cube [20:02] good png editor for linux? [20:02] there does not seem to be an x86 64 bit install image... [20:02] hvgotcodes: go to ubuntu.com choose get ubuntu and choose download, and choose 64 bit instead of 32 and download [20:02] how do you change desktops? I don't think its working. [20:02] oskar-, a user managed to get into my workgroup wirelessly (before I secured the connection) [20:02] Firztspawn, what kind of workgroup is it? [20:02] I have it enabled. [20:03] Tiffany, if you don't have 4 right click on the icon and add more if you wish [20:03] Tiffany, ctrl + alt arrow (i like left0 [20:03] 0 =) [20:03] Bram_P will the 8.10 installer do an encrypted install? [20:03] oskar-, I am asking on behalf of, I think its just an ordinary workgroup [20:03] or do i need the alternate? [20:03] anyone familiary with alsa and oxygen hd modules? [20:03] Firztspawn, how do you list the workgroup "icons"? [20:04] Tiffany, good luck I have to go lunch break over [20:04] when I right click i get preferences [20:04] ok thanks [20:04] restarted alsa stops the annoying repeating audio noise but it starts up again right where it left off. anyone help please? I shouldn't have to restart linux because of a crashed audio player! [20:04] which wireless keyboard is best for ubuntu which wont give me any driver issues [20:04] Tiffany, use the keyboard shortcut [20:04] zimbres: depends on what you are using to compile? [20:04] unless its not enabled [20:04] Tiffany, ok click on pref [20:05] oskar-, unsure sorry, I am asking on behalf of, and this guy is not too sure either, he just set it up [20:05] almost any bluetooth keyboard if you have bluetooth enabled correctly, most wireless ones use there own protocol hence the need for there own dongle [20:05] I am not local to his setup either [20:05] Looking for help with an Atheros chipset on an aspire one, looks fine but is not working, details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/123967/ [20:06] so I tried using sudo tastsel install lamp-server and it started to load but it's at 0% and it just says [20:06] "Please wait..." any ideas what's wrong? [20:06] oskar-, can he just open Nautilus with root permissions and delete it that way? [20:06] any brand that works best [20:06] * lasivian grovels [20:07] Firztspawn, workgroup is afaik a M$ term for a group in the smb file and printer sharing service. he should find out the master browser of the group and restart it. but if the intruder is no more on the network, his icon in the workgroup is only a cosmetic problem [20:07] I installed the nvidia driver for my video card, and now my nvidia sound isn't working. lspci -v shows the video card, but asound list doesn't list it. [20:07] uptill3, I thought it would look recursively in /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib etc. I some other directories in /usr/local/lib/root/... . I am using ./configure make and make install, it compiles ok, and install ok, but when I run the executable generated in /usr/local/bin it does not find some files as I said. [20:07] uptill3, BRB [20:07] What is console-kit-daemon? What would happen if I killed it? [20:07] I don;t really know what to try and fix at this point, i've rebuilt the drivers even [20:07] oskar-, yeah, but its that cosmetic problem that he wants to get rid of [20:08] Is there a way to display all the supportable colors in my console or a program that can test colors? Thanks. [20:08] zimbres: I dont think it looks recursively? I think you have to give it a relative path [20:08] Firztspawn, then he should restart all computers in the network to be sure, the master browser also got restarted ;) [20:08] I got it working :D [20:09] uptill3, how do I give the path name, in the configure script? [20:09] Any reason why my touchpad, padtouch feature would just stop working? [20:09] how can I delete all network configurations to configure it again? [20:09] when i click on a file a new window opens up any idea why this could be happening [20:09] LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/whatever ? [20:09] how can I delete all wireless drivers and start over? [20:10] I don;t really know what else to try except a total reinstall at this point [20:10] oskar-, so on reboot, the master browser will search the network for all connected computers/nodes, and ONLY show the connected computers/nodes? [20:10] oskar-, Im not 100% sure how Ubuntu does things, hence being here [20:12] Firztspawn, after that a master browser will be elected and then collect the advertisements, afaik [20:12] I'm having problems with remote login form ubuntu to xubuntu. `vncviewer 10.0.0.53:0` from ubuntu times out. I have vino installed on the xubuntu box. Can someone help me? [20:12] Hi. Any good FreeNX troubleshooting resources? NXClient keeps saying that FreeNX is not running; I believe I may have something wrong in iptables or sshd_config but I can't figure it out [20:13] Please can anyone assist me in compiling a driver from source and installing it like a module for kernel?? [20:13] is it possible to set swappiness on a per-process basis (rather than system-wide)? [20:14] ok, why would a wifi show up in ifconfig and iwconfig but show no ssid's in gnome? === meho_r_ is now known as teeless [20:15] oskar-, ok, will tell him to try a reboot [20:15] Greetings all [20:16] //mode [20:16] hey all why is wpa not an option in networkmanager applet? === Ozreichter is now known as Kryzler [20:17] !offtopic > exodus_ms [20:17] exodus_ms, please see my private message [20:17] maybe if I just pound my fist on the notebook enough it'll work [20:17] * lasivian beats the holy crap out of her notebook [20:18] go for it lasivian, you will be amazed at how relieving that is [20:18] could the ssid be turned off? [20:18] exodus_ms: unfortunately it (nor anything else it seems) fixes the issue [20:18] lasivian, have you already tried a reboot? what does Tx-Power in the iwconfig output show? [20:19] I turn mine off after I get connected [20:19] oskar-: many reboots, with all many of selections in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [20:19] ugh that totally sucks. had to restart computer to solve audio problem. might as well be winblows [20:19] ZeRo_FeniX: I can normally see a dozen networks here [20:19] tripps: be glad it works [20:20] fair enough [20:20] tripps: i'm sitting here with soemthing that previously worked and when I tried to add new hardware I apparently broke it and can;t figure out how it's broken :) [20:20] lasivian, I hear you [20:20] I added a edimax usb adapter and compiled a driver for it, after that neither adapter worked [20:20] hi there, where can I find an info about the default licence of the entries in the official Ubuntu wiki? [20:20] I can;t figure out how to remove the new driver, or even if that has anything to do with the issue [20:21] lasivian, you on a laptop? [20:21] mrwes: yes, Aspire One 110L [20:21] the audio problem (stuck music) stopped about midway through the shutdown process, so clearly there was a runlevel process I could have restarted to fix it. Is the full audio stack described in detail somewhere with processes, services, etc.? [20:21] i am managing about 30 ubuntu desktops in a compute lab and I need to be able to shutdown the desktops after being inactive/idle for X minutes - any ideas how I can do this? [20:21] lasivian, don't take this wrong, but is the wireless turned on? Fn + F2 ? [20:22] mrwes: trying to just get back to the simple Madwifi-hal driver for the Atheros [20:22] ahh...ic [20:23] mrwes: the connection light is blinking, so I assume so, fn-f2 does nothing [20:23] Hello, I experienced a gdm fatal crash while having a webform open with an awful lot of text in it. I had to reboot although the gdm's (one child) did not die. Any chance of retrieving that from cache?

"... at hand..." [20:31] ok just a second [20:31] oskar-, that's what I did :) [20:32] brb, must test xchat [20:32] yonarox: you mind completing the sentence?

[20:54] Seveas: I don;t know how to get rid of the usb driver, or even if that is what caused this, but it's the only thing I changed [20:54] T-REX_BUTTSECKS: I'm waiting [20:54] * red-lichtie does happy dance ... finally my WLAN connection is stable \o/ [20:55] Did any one her get the new flash plugin update ?!?!

[20:57] Any of you having connection problems with the iwlagn module ? If you are, then adding "options iwlagn 11n_disable=1" to "/etc/modprobe.d/options" fixed them for me, so YMMV :) [20:57] Seveas: Kismet sees networks when I put the card in monitor mode tho [20:57] is there also a dutch room about ubuntu linux? [20:57] Huufarted: why dont you login to console, run ps and examine, than run startx and open another console and examine, then login and re-examine.

[21:00] lasivian, could you pastebin the logfile? Maybe I can see something useful [21:00] Seveas: "unable to load wlan_scan_sta" is the only thing that looks, "strange" [21:00] gotOS, 'window list' [21:00] thx [21:00] nubcake, I found the problem anyhow. ps DID show me my problem... 'Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode\n\nThe following error was encountered.

[21:01] nubcake lol that showed up as an argument to a running program [21:01] thank you much. [21:01] so it looks like X is running in a failsafe mode [21:02] what's the command to delete a file then? rmfl or something? [21:02] rm [21:02] rm [21:02] !rm [21:02] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [21:02] Seveas: oooh, paydirt [21:03] ZeRo_FeniX, on a related note, 'rm -rf' will delete a directory, even if it has files in it. a regular 'rm' will not remove directories. [21:03] how do i install stepmania [21:03] !info stepmania [21:03] Package stepmania does not exist in intrepid [21:03] meh [21:04] Seveas: (From forum post) "The issue is due to a conflict between the rt73 driver and madwifi" [21:04] Seveas: the usb card I tried to add was in fact rt73 [21:04] Well I got a lamp server sorta working :) that makes me happy.

Now I've created this server on a Windows Vista machine using VBox. How could I view it on my host machine. I tried http://10.0.2.15/ which is the ip addres ifconfig gave me but that doesn't do anything. [21:06] ZeRo_FeniX, ftp isn't http... [21:06] I know [21:06] I'm setting up FTP so I can talk to it with dreamweaver [21:06] But I want to be able to view it through http on my host machine.

I might just change the network settings again that way it gets a dchped ip from my router. [21:12] zero_fenix: does it work from the localhost? === felix_da_catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [21:13] you cannot use http to view ftp [21:14] Like I can look at http://localhost/ on the linux box. And I wasn't trying to view http through ftp I'm trying to actually load it up as a webpage on my host machine and connect to it through and ftp protocal. [21:14] k, then here's something to understand. you need to use ftp:// [21:14] now I understand what you mean [21:14] Macon AB ? http://mange.dynalias.org/linux.html [21:14] glitsj16: Thank you very much. I just have found the song on youtube. [21:15] ZeRo_FeniX, if you type http://, it will try and connect on port 80 using http. It won't touch ftp. At all. Ever. [21:15] can ubuntu be booted into ram to free up the optical drive? [21:15] hfish: you're welcome, nice song ;) [21:15] zero_fenix: well if it works locally but not from another machine, than iptables -L or check your other firewall settings. [21:15] can ubuntu be booted into ram to free up the optical drive? [21:15] ZeRo_FeniX, so if you instead use ftp://, you will get exactly what you're looking for as soon as your server is configured properly === defcon is now known as Guest2029 [21:15] i have an odd problem. When ever i log into an account from the main login screen, a loud screeching noise ensures to play until i am fully logged in [21:15] nubcake, you're looking too far into it I think. More than likely the server is only listening on 127.0.0.1 [21:15] ubuntu 8.10 [21:16] I'm trying to do two different things, I think that's where the confusion lies. [21:16] Charliehorse: does sound work well after the login has ended ? [21:16] or if i boot to ram will that allow me to use my optical drive? [21:16] BULLE : yes [21:16] how do I rearrange the order that things are modprobed? [21:16] hi..... SynfigStudio won't work on my system.... i just installed straight out of the repos [21:16] Charliehorse: just tried to disable the login sound ? [21:16] (yes, this is probably dangerous to mess with, but I think it is vital to fixing my problem) [21:17] how do you do that [21:17] Charliehorse: no idea, i dont use the gui stuff [21:18] i can do it through command line if it's easier [21:19] Charliehorse: if you use gdm, gksu /usr/sbin/gdmsetup ... i think sound prefs are in a tab called accessibility [21:19] Is their a program for linux that can convert avi files to windows media format? Im wanting to upload videos to my Pocket pc.. [21:19] I mistakenly installed the git package which installed gnuit. however, gnuit failed to install and now it won't install and it can't be removed. How can I force it to be removed. [21:19] handbrake [21:19] DVA5912:handbrake [21:20] Charliehorse: Checkint it out [21:20] cokernel, find out why it fails, fix that issue and then you solve both problems [21:20] BlackClouds: Dom soporna bor i Valbo i gävle [21:20] DVA5912, my advice is to dump windows media format.

[22:15] I guess no one uses google in here... [22:15] i looked everything up [22:15] shear: ubuntu stores configs somewhere else [22:15] I tried just about every tut out there [22:15] shear, the new Xorg is aiming to be as automagic as possible - not relying on a configuration file but generating one on the fly (though, you can stil force it to use a configuration file if you want) [22:15] note to self, never use ubuntu again [22:15] i mean really if no one wants to help just say so [22:15] gentoo > ubuntu [22:16] upof88: sorry, I don't know about that, but please ask your question once again "to the channel" (= without a nickname in front), so that all will read it, not just me :) [22:16] kurrata, unop, can I then take a look at the settings ubuntu is using, in the xorg.conf format?

[22:17] i have broken my Totem player is there i way i can fix it ?? [22:17] I have the latest version on Ubuntu [22:17] TheRealAnna: its the other way round: if someone knows an answer to your problem, they will most likely answer [22:17] when i SSH to my servers in Konsole, and then use nano, hitting HOME just inserts a H character. How can I fix this so the keyboard maps correctly ? [22:17] I did the get update too [22:17] nothing [22:18] i mean it worked obv, but the digikam and stopmotion will not convert my slidehsows to videi [22:18] *video [22:18] racecar56: run "gksu /usr/sbin/gdmsetup" and check what session you have active in the general tab, xfce session should be an option [22:18] Dillizar: delete .totem in home or reinstal it [22:18] brb [22:18] unop, one more thins if you don't mind. is this change an xorg thing, or an ubuntu thing [22:19] shear, Xorg in general .. though most distros still have to take 'advantage' of this autoconfiguration [22:19] kurrata, its not in home and i have tried to reinstall it [22:19] quick question: should trying to install kubuntu-desktop mark displayconfig-gtk and guidance-backends for removal? Alternatively, should I be worried? [22:19] I'll try the sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade again [22:20] unop, insteresting. Well, obviously Arch hasn't done it yet. Back to hacking xorg.conf piece by piece then i suppose [22:20] ta [22:20] Surlent777: quick answer: no worries [22:20] shear, arch might have something like xorgconfig (or similar) to aid you [22:20] Dillizar: find /home/acc -name *totem* try this to make sure it isnt there [22:20] # [22:21] unop, it does, but it doesn't work perfectly [22:21] i want to know if there is a xubuntu equivalent to winxp's mouse settings, for an external usb mouse thank you!

So, being bored one day, I decided to see if Compiz would work nicely with KDE4. It did, but then I wanted to go back to a "pure" KDE (KWin), and it won't let me.

I don't want to compress [23:06] Huufarted, html [23:06] Huufarted, all packed in a Some Book.book [23:06] file [23:06] wolter, tar archives them into a file but does NOT compress it. Why do you not want to compress it? [23:06] _DEL: there is. It's the fbsetbg tool. Look at it's man page [23:06] because its just to wrap the files in one single file. [23:06] <_DEL> aight, thank ya Surlent777 [23:07] _DEL: np [23:07] Huufarted, anyway, thats awesome i think. [23:07] wolter: I understood that, but the speed of computers nowadays there won't be any performance issue with compressing them at the same time. HOwever, Tar will archive them without compression. Not sure you can really do anything with it unless you pair it with a shell script to untar and execute a command [23:08] wow - my ubunut wakes up, when i connect to it via ssh. How does that happen and where would I configure the behaviour? [23:08] wolter: tar SOUNDS like it would be an option. Compression is optional. 'tar cvf /filename.tar file_to_archive.html' or to compress: 'tar xvjf /filename.tar file_to_archive.html' [23:08] Is it possible to adjust the size of my ext3 partitions that already have Ubuntu on em with a GParted disc so I can dualboot with another codename? === tabidachi is now known as tabidachi-away [23:08] wolter: tar SOUNDS like it would be an option. Compression is optional. 'tar cvf /filename.tar file_to_archive.html' or to compress: 'tar cvjf /filename.tar.bz2 file_to_archive.html' (I typed the previous line wrong) [23:08] Huufarted, yeah, actually that's the idea [23:08] J-_, gparted will do that perfectly. [23:09] Huufarted, so, if a tar file is not compressed, untaring it would last nothing? [23:09] wolter: repeat that please? [23:09] Huufarted: Cool, thanks. :) [23:10] well, techically, my computer would save the work of uncompressing the file, and it will just change its location, right? [23:10] anyone knows a nice system wide audio equalizer? [23:10] wolter, sorta. tar will add a BUNCH of files to a single container [23:10] wolter: compressing it will do the exact same thing, won't take any additional time, but will save a TON of space, especially with text files. [23:10] darrend:: well either setup UUID matching in fstab for that device for when its detected or look into pysdm [23:11] so, does anyone have any idea on how to make Compiz stop startting with KDE4? [23:11] starting* [23:13] ubuntuphr3k, actually, everything freezes and scroll lock and caps lock starts blinking [23:14] Huufarted, ok, so which tar should I use? [23:14] ok, nm, I got an idea...time for science [23:14] I've gotten to the point of testing my usbmce2 remote with irw, but do not see anything when i push buttons [23:14] wolter: tar cvf filename.tar file1 file2 file3 [23:14] wolter, if you want to compress it: tar cvjf /filename.tar.bz2 [23:14] wolter, otherwise: tar cvf /filename.tar file1 file2 file3 [23:15] wolter, sorry. ON that first command you need to add the names of the files you want in it. lol, that's important [23:15] ola [23:15] !hi [23:15] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[23:18] or huufarted's idea works :-) [23:18] fixerofthings: gksu [23:18] Kirsch, don't install stuff unless you trust it and don't leave services open to root access [23:18] hello, anyone fells like going in to #moonos and see if topic works? [23:18] fixerofthings gksudo gedit ... [23:18] Where can I find the official wine channel? :x [23:18] Huufarted: i've only installed apahce, mysql, and postfix [23:19] fixerofthings, Brad777, Huufarted: gksudo for GNOME, kdesudo for KDE. [23:19] thanks both :) [23:19] Kirsch, SOMETHING got executed as root if you got a rootkit [23:19] Huufarted: right...so i installed the new system... [23:20] Huufarted, hah yeah [23:20] and i'm seeing that apache is being run by root but only by 1 instnace, the rest are www-data [23:20] With dualbooting 2 Ubuntu installations, will I have to fool around with grub? [23:20] this is straight out of repository [23:20] oops, i installed the default netbeans ide...for java dev. searched apt-cache, anyone know if the php version is in repo? couldn't find it [23:20] kirsch, it's hard to give you advice unless you know what caused the security oversight to begin with [23:20] so, kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf then? [23:20] anyone know how to downgrade from janty to intrepid? [23:20] fixerofthings: that should work, yes [23:21] jaunty [23:21] rich: you can't [23:21] really?? [23:21] ugh . .

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:22] <_DEL> who here knows fluxbox well? [23:22] no [23:22] rich: the installation and upgrade instructions for jaunty explicitly state that you shouldn't upgrade to jaunty if you're not comfortable with random and pervasive breakage. [23:22] i backed up though [23:22] rich: well when you reinstall do so :) [23:22] i know that [23:22] rich: then restore your backups [23:22] i can't get my internal card to work [23:23] Kirsch, it looks ok to me. It does need to run as root. Apache should be good to go. My guess is your previous installation, you installed something that wasn't Kosher. [23:23] with this website, http://www.dailygyan.com/2008/11/10-things-you-should-do-immediately.html, and since im using KDE, i would subsititue kdesudo for Sudo as recommended on the site? [23:23] Huufarted: i wonder what it could have been, everything i installed was from repository. [23:23] fixerofthings: you use kdesudo for graphical applications and sudo for terminal-based ones [23:23] Kirsch, perhaps you got hit by an SQL Injection Attack? [23:23] Huufarted: are there any services that could be more vulnerable? [23:24] so then, but the first question i asked was a terminal based? [23:24] fixerofthings: looks like all of the uses of "sudo" in that page are for terminal-based commands, yes. [23:24] kirsch, official repositories? [23:24] rww: i use sudo on both [23:24] Brad777: you shouldn't [23:24] Huufarted: yep [23:24] rww: why not? [23:24] !gksudo | Brad777 [23:24] Brad777: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [23:24] same reasoning applies to kdesudo [23:24] rww: so if i'm using gnome i should use gksudo? [23:24] heyguys [23:25] okay, Graphical means- non essential applications, where as terminal= esentials? [23:25] Brad777: you should use gksudo to run graphical apps as root, yes. [23:25] anyone know a good program to convert video files to dvd images? [23:25] fixerofthings: terminal means things that you run in a terminal and that don't create separate windows. graphical means applications that don't run in a terminal [23:25] <_DEL> graphical looks pretty, terminal is just words, fixerofthings [23:26] Brad777, not on Ubuntu, but on Windows, DVDShrink [23:26] rww: and kde is kdesudo? [23:26] Brad777: yep [23:26] I am looking for a simple to use way to do web dj on linux, I want it to work with amarok if possible [23:26] Kirsch: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardenedUbuntu/ [23:26] anyone know a good program to convert video files to dvd images?

I don't know of any Ubuntu programs for it [23:27] xSlack: what type of router do you have? [23:27] Im just confused, as i would use kdesudo for kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but just plain sudo for the things on the site. [23:27] xSlack: What brand is your router? Some don't go in through that IP [23:27] <_DEL> ill try to find one [23:27] I was just in the router the other day with that addy [23:27] Now it wont load [23:27] fixerofthings: the things on the site run in your terminal. kate is a graphical application. [23:27] no ubuntu software to make dvds from avi files? [23:27] fixerofthings: basicaly you use ksudo for graphical applications and sudo for shell applications [23:27] ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I got it :P...

[23:31] sileni, you can convert it to DVD with DeVeDe [23:31] sileni go to getdeb and get DeVeDe [23:32] trksh22: try running the following from the command-line: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard [23:32] sileni, or Avidemux [23:32] mrwes, thank you so much for the quick response [23:32] danbhfive: got it, thanks! i might look into it if all else fails.. i hate waiting for responses considering that i'll probably get hacked in a few minutes. [23:32] oshua86: bitchx is unmaintained, has unfixed security problems, and has many bugs. It's been dropped from Debian and Ubuntu for these reasons. [23:32] I am looking for a simple to use way to do web dj on linux, I want it to work with amarok if possible [23:32] mrwes, if i convert it to dvd format will i still be able to burn it to a cd-r and play it in my dvd plaeyr ?

I'm running 8.04 now. I want to reinstall because too much is messed up and I'd like to start fresh. would installing 8.10 be a good idea if I value stability ? what about repo size and updated version software ? [23:36] trksh22: can you copy your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to http://paste.ubuntu.com/, then link to the page it creates, please? [23:37] blip-: Ubuntu 8.04 is supported until April, 2011. Ubuntu 8.10 is supported until April 2010. 8.10 has newer software, and is used by more people. 8.04 has older software, but is theoretically a little more stable.

[23:39] blip-: it's a Long Term Support version [23:39] blip-: 8.04 is a Long Term Support release. They're supported for 3 years from release instead of the normal 18 months. [23:39] if im looged in to a non-admin account, how do i issue a command as an adminstrator? [23:39] logged* [23:39] ken sudo [23:39] KenBW2: sudo commandname for command-line stuff, gksudo commandname for graphical stuff. [23:40] rww: as stated, im not on an admin account [23:40] u can use sudo [23:40] rww: but there is another account that is admin [23:40] kent, u can still type sudo [23:40] does anyone know a quick way to ln -s the full path of all the folders within a directory? [23:40] KenBW2: oh, I see, you mean you're not in the sudoers file either. [23:40] Kenb, u can still type sudo [23:40] what was the command to find out what kernel you are using? [23:40] KenBW2, u can still type sudo [23:40] !visudo [23:40] Huufarted, does the tar mind extracting a file that its not named parallely to its compression method? [23:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about visudo [23:40] rww: crrect [23:40] nicklas_: uname -a [23:40] for testing purposes, i created a subnet behind my notebook, but i didnt want to reconfigure the system. I just configured the second IF, set up dhcpd and activated f'wall and forwarding, which works. But after a while, I keep loosing the IP address of the subnet's IF and I dont know why. Log talks about martian source. Please give me advice on how to track this down [23:41] !sudo [23:41] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [23:41] wolter, elaborate please? Not sure what you mean. [23:41] (i mean, i started and configure all the stuff in the terminal by hand) [23:41] hey quick one, how do I set programs to run on start up [23:41] Huufarted, if I named my tar.bz2 files to foo.some, would tar extract it without problems? [23:41] or does it need a tar.bz2 handle? [23:42] wolter: should just work, try it and see [23:42] !start up [23:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about start up [23:42] !startup [23:42] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [23:42] KenBW2: If you know the password to the admin account, you could do "su adminusername" to get an interactive shell running under that account, then use sudo as normal. There might be a better way of doing it that I don't know about, but that should work. [23:42] ok Bsims [23:42] bzip files need a bz2 extension [23:42] how can i start/restart the network manager at the shell, without permanently disabling it? [23:42] rww: that should be fine thanks [23:42] wolter: it doesn't care about the extension as far as I know. It looks at the content itself. [23:43] wolter Huufarted - most Linux programs don't care about the file name (extension) - they look at the header to determine, what's inside. [23:44] rww, where can I find /etc/X11/xorg.conf??? [23:44] hmw, yeah, just wanted to check [23:44] trksh22: if you're using gnome, running "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" in a terminal should open it. [23:45] Hello, somebody knows why i cant browse my Gps reciver ? Klick here : http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/394294/ [23:45] wolter: but with tar i remember vaguely about one certain program, that can do more, if the extension is present. It might have been some setup thing. Don't remember more. [23:46] can anyone help me with a random kernel panic? [23:46] mais_ No idea. Try looking at the system's log files in /var/log/...

[23:47] hmw, there's nothing useful in the logs [23:47] Huufarted, how do I tar.bz2 a directory? it's giving me trouble. [23:47] My external hdd randomly re automounts [23:47] not even the panic's indication [23:47] hello everyone, i have a question that im hoping someone can help me. im new to ubuntu and i just installed it on my XPS1530 notebook and whenever i try to use the touchpad, it freezes, then the mouse jumps all over the screen while clicking randomly. i can however use my wireless usb mouse, (whose transmitter was in the usb port while ubuntu 8.04 was being installed.. idk if that matters or not)... any farmilliar with the issue or know [23:48] Xamusk - I feared so. If you don't find a pattern behind it, it will be hard to find out. You could remove hardware, exchange RAM modules and see, if it continues to happen. [23:48] hmw, it's a brand new laptop [23:49] probably the touchpad is messed up [23:49] Xamusk - too bad. My first guess would have been damaged or overclocked hardware. [23:49] yeah [23:49] Xamusk: run memtest86 on it [23:49] Xamusk - do you have another operating system on your machine? Does it crash, too? [23:49] hello can repartition a 120GB drive and format it fat32 with ubuntu and please tell me how [23:49] nytrix, do you know of anyway to correct or reset the hardware/driver [23:50] I thought it was the nvidia video card, but I uninstalled the proprietary drivers and still have a problem [23:50] no sorry [23:50] godoshian: gparted [23:50] how do I mount a UDF Volume in 8.10 ???? [23:50] godoshian - you sure about FAT32? These days, you would be happy with NTFS in most cases, too. [23:50] hmw, I have Vista, but I haven't been enough in it to crash [23:50] Bsims, nice idea [23:51] hmw, well how do i defrag NTFS with ubuntu? [23:51] Xamusk - if it would crash, too, it would strongly indicate hardware problems. How often does the panic happen? [23:51] Xamusk: also install sensors and see if its overheating [23:51] I have a perl process dominating my cpu usage, but it's being executed by www-data. How can I figure out what file is being run? [23:51] with the cd install [23:51] godoshian: man fsck [23:51] it ask you how you want to frag your disk [23:52] alixx, try to disable it then enable it back again [23:52] milligan_: "top" ? [23:52] How can I share my printer over the network to another Ubuntu PC? [23:52] trksh22: did you log out and back in after running that unset line I told you earlier? apparently it might require that. [23:52] godoshian - uhm. You wouldnt usually defrag. Maybe with windows or even some Linux tool, but I dont know of any. Most people, I know, just copy the stuff to another partition/tape and then copy it back - e voila - defragged. [23:52] where can i buy a cheap computer? [23:52] rapha,: open your browser and point it to http://localhost:631 -- the CUPS Web GUI [23:52] maxbaldwin, top is where I see the process, and the command is "perl" .. run by www-data. Taking a look at the strace, it's just doing some kind of select, that's failing. [23:52] trksh22: I'm looking up some alternate solutions in case that doesn't work, though [23:52] milligan_: You didn't write the perl file then. [23:53] rww: I have not, but I will do that and return! Thanks for helping! [23:53] hello, I seem to have some problems with my network adapter and kernel 2.6.27 on intrepid: my wireless adapter doesn't work and my ethernet adapter doesn't ping anything even though it shows up with an IP address and I can ifup and ifdown [23:53] maxbaldwin, no. I want to know what user has started the job .. and what the file contains. [23:53] mrwes: I found out about that address with Google, but what do I do there? [23:53] Akuma - can you ping 127.0.0.1 ? [23:53] milligan_: ps auxw | grep www-data [23:53] milligan_: ps auxw | grep perl [23:53] I didn't try that [23:54] should limit it down to just one process [23:54] please help, I installed restricted nvidia driver and now my screen will not go past 640x480 [23:54] alixx, try to disable it then enable it back again under System>Preferences>Mouse>Touchpad [23:54] rapha, you can add a printer; It might see it on the network, or you can add it using IPP - Internet Printer Protocol [23:54] and then you can optionally kill it with kill 'pid' [23:54] is brasero just problematic? [23:54] Barridus: works fine for me :/ [23:54] hmw, it's random [23:54] that said, when I rebooted under 2.6.24-19 [23:54] Barridus, use K3B [23:54] it would work again [23:55] Akuma - maybe your firewall is blocking? To completely clear all rules, you need to issue iptables 4 times with certain params: http://pastebin.com/m5782edee [23:55] how can you view a file to see which backup was store or file date modification? [23:55] Xamusk - once an hour/day/week/century? === cellofel1ow is now known as cellofellow [23:55] hey dudez i got a bad problem [23:55] firewall on the box I just upgraded? [23:55] arwes, isn't k3b for kde? [23:55] lots of rights problems [23:55] maxbaldwin, www-data 17373 99.5 0.4 4696 2444 ? R Feb19 11872:44 /usr/sbin/apache/log <- that's the perpetrator. That file doesn't exist though. [23:55] i cant edit the applications menu [23:56] Barridus, it'll run in GNOME too [23:56] Bsims, I'm trying to install lm-sensors, but the sensors applets says no sensors were found [23:56] program to edit the menu never starts [23:56] Akuma - possible. Can you ping the localhost? (127.0.0.1) [23:56] hmw, from 2 to 10 times a day [23:56] Xamusk - i [23:56] I'm rebooting [23:56] evride, right click Apps menu [23:56] I'm going to try that [23:56] how can you view what backup is the latest one? in ubuntu [23:56] !lm-sensors | Xamusk: try these instructions for lm-sensors [23:56] Xamusk: try these instructions for lm-sensors: You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [23:56] nytrix i've tried [23:56] milligan_: That looks normal. is this a server you are on, or a home computer? [23:57] maxbaldwin, server [23:57] or to view a file that was modified , to see the date of modification/ creation [23:57] seems my user rights is all screwed up [23:57] My internet history cleares at the default setting, is there any way I can retrieve it? [23:57] Xamusk - I'd let one or more terminal windows open, running tails over the log files. Maybe you can find a pattern somehow. [23:57] milligan_: you might get it solved quicker that I could help in #ubuntu-server [23:57] maxbaldwin, look at how long it has been running for though ... and how much cpu it's consuming [23:57] evride, maybe u have the panel locked [23:57] please help, I installed restricted nvidia driver and now my screen will not go past 640x480 [23:57] because I'm not so sure about it... :P [23:57] Xamusk: man sensors... think you need to run sensors-detect or something like that [23:57] unlock it [23:57] earlier i couldn't change the open with on a file [23:57] hi all! does anybody remember how that cute proggy to have another X user session nested in a window is called? is it in apt repo? [23:57] cause i didnt own the right folder [23:58] grandrew: xnest? [23:58] and before i couldnt open up synaptic cause i wasnt root or something [23:58] milligan_: ouch... If it was me, I'd kill it. but that might mess something [23:58] even tho i was [23:58] evride, is the panel locked? [23:58] no [23:58] the i dont know [23:58] user rights or something is all screwed up [23:58] rww: maybe :-P will check thanks [23:58] milligan_: try rebooting and see if it resolves itself [23:58] file ownership stuff like that [23:58] some1 here might [23:59] grandrew: although I think it's recommended to use xserver-xephyr instead now [23:59] ok i will try k3b, arwes, thanks [23:59] mrwes: I have it added now on the client PC, but when I try to print the test page I get "client-error-not-found" [23:59] Bsims, thanks, just using sensors-detect gave me the hint on what module to load [23:59] i couldn't get brasero to burn a data DVD on 3 different machines XD
