I wonder if Open Office had anything to do with it? [00:00] I can ping my own IP [00:01] being 192.168.99.103 [00:01] like i was saying, earlier today I someone got onto the actual root account in ubuntu after installing the very latest Nvidia driver (i quit out of X Windows server), it said my username was root and i could do whatever i wanted without typing in my password, since then i've been haviing to change ownership of files and many other settings to make my user account control files, settings and folders [00:01] rapha, did you allow sharing of the printer on the other computer?

[00:11] evride: How did you "start X Windows again"? [00:11] but I get this problem with eth0 on 2.6.27-11 [00:11] evride: i.e., which command did you use? [00:11] I can do that from GUI but I use CLI now and I don't know how [00:11] any ideas ? [00:12] no sorry flame i dont know a solution for your particular issue, just keep asking your question every couple minutes, all on one line and hopefully someone that knows the answer will respond [00:12] Akuma - I see. For your pitty, I never upgraded successfully. I would guess, that the Network Manager has some headache now. Please ask someone else or try google with keywords like "upgrade ubuntu network problem" or similar. [00:12] thx Daft_Punk [00:12] ok [00:12] rww: it was - sudo startx [00:12] Thanks for the help [00:12] sudo startx? [00:12] why sudo [00:12] ya [00:12] cause i was in the sudo mood [00:12] usser: thanks all is perfect now :) [00:12] evride: there's your problem. You shouldn't have used sudo [00:12] didnt think it would cause a big problem like that [00:12] sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start [00:12] Hello xD [00:13] Can anyone help me figure out how to get Warcraft3 to run correctly? [00:13] well just one like of code can cause all those problems? [00:13] evride you should never run ubuntu as root... [00:13] evride: sudo runs commands as root. running sudo startx... runs startx... as root [00:13] Dextl, what wrong with it? [00:13] i mean one line* [00:13] i didnt mean to daft punk [00:13] UncleD, no problem, if you want the files in the dir to be owned by a certain group google for gsuid [00:13] it just stops working when I alttab or switch workspaces [00:13] rww:but why would it change all my rights and permissions and stuff [00:13] evride ubuntu is open source, meaning you can break it easily, especially if you run as root and delete some system files accidentally, that is why you should never run as root [00:14] didnt mean to daft, lol [00:14] rww evride - it is strongly advised, not to run x as root. You can run certain programs with gksudo (think of nautilus). [00:14] sorry [00:14] evride: Because sudo startx makes Xorg and GNOME run as a root user, but doesn't change your environment variables, so they still use your home directlry and stomp all over it. [00:15] Hi everyone. Im having a bit of a problem. Ever since today when I have my vlc window maximized i cannot see the top menu bar (organe) with the quit, maximize and minimize buttons. What could be causing this? Thanks. [00:15] so i should chown my home directory? [00:15] evride: try sudo chown -R evride:evride /home/evride (replacing evride with your username). [00:15] and make all sub folders mine? [00:15] evride: yes [00:15] k [00:15] evride, since you ran your account as root (not the root account) it re-wrote permissions for all your files and messed them all up. the best thing to do at this point is backup any important data you have and reinstall ubuntu from the livecd [00:15] evride: get out of that root xorg session first, if you haven't already [00:15] How do I find out what video driver im using, and how do I configure it in 8.10? xorg.conf is practically blank... [00:15] evride, unless you want to preserve your system you have to do some chmods [00:16] Hi everyone. Im having a bit of a problem. Ever since today when I have my vlc window maximized i cannot see the top menu bar (organe) with the quit, maximize and minimize buttons. What could be causing this? Thanks. [00:16] im already out rww [00:16] Daft_Punk: chowns, actually, and we already gave him the command [00:16] rww, yeah sorry [00:16] evride: okay, then just run that sudo chown -R thing and it should fix things [00:16] aw thanks dudez, it works [00:17] caveman26: there's an Xorg log in /var/log/. It'll say somewhere in there. xorg.conf is practically blank because xorg autodetects most of its settings now. [00:17] ok [00:17] slerder: only VLC does that? Maybe it still has all the window gadget, but they are simply out ouf the screen? Hold ALT and try dragging the window, by clicking at some unused space right in the middle. [00:17] how do I manually change them? [00:17] if i ask a question about 8.04 am i likely to get a response as i know 8.10 is out now? [00:17] evride: You're welcome. In the future, "startx" or "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" would be better than "sudo startx" ;) [00:17] DEA7H: 8.04 is still supported, yes [00:17] ya, i'll keep that in mind [00:18] caveman26: change the driver? Add the required command to xorg.conf. Settings that are put in there override the autodetection. [00:18] ok.. so I can still use the xorg.conf.... thats good [00:18] evride: if you like being root, you might want to look the the -i switch of sudo.

[00:20] slerder: if only one program does it like that, I dont know. [00:20] Dextl, msg me [00:20] slerder - you could look in your home directory for stuff like .vlc and delete it. [00:20] hrmm [00:20] litb, dash for system shell, bash for user shell [00:21] Akuma: hmm, that's odd [00:21] is there a way to copy the whole directory to a file?

[00:21] rww: I agree, also happened after I upgraded to 8.10 [00:21] thanks [00:21] azlon: tar [00:21] !mkisofs [00:21] litb: /bin/sh is a symlink to dash. Users' shells are set to bash by default. [00:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about mkisofs [00:22] without digging into the man pages.. what simple commands could I run.. on either machine.. both of which are networked.. I can ssh to one machine from the other.. to move all the files, data. and applications from one to the other.. I don't care if it takes all night to run, don't need to compress....

[00:22] bonez451: err, while both machines (or at the very least, the target machine) are booted from a live cd, right? [00:22] bonez451, but you'll have to use livecd for dd since it copies entire partition/harddrive [00:23] damn dd over the network... that is Awesome [00:23] slerder - did you log out and in again already? [00:23] bonez451: You'd use scp. Something like scp /path/to/copy/from username@destination_server:/path/to/copy/to [00:23] excellent. finnaly managed to coax my Nvidia Quadro 64mb card to support a dualscreen setup.

[00:23] hmw, nope, simply reopened vlc.. [00:23] slerder: then relog, maybe youre lucky. [00:23] bonez451: you're basically asking about replacing the entire disk on the target machine with the source disk - so, yes, you should [00:24] ok..

[00:24] i have an external HDD plugged in, is the path to it /media/NameOfDrive? [00:24] or is it /home/media/NameOfDrive? [00:24] hey guys.. i was wondering, for a few different reasons i would REALLY like to use the "LiveCD" but what i noticed i have issues with is that my laptop's cdrom won't read the cds properly, so it freezes half way through while loading. i know this is the issue cause i had problems installing with alternate installer too, until i loaded the install up and right before "checking for cd-rom's" ect.. in alt [00:24] azlon - should be /media [00:24] bonez451: dd, as they mentioned, is an option. they didn't mention *how* you'd use it over a network - you can do that by piping it to "netcat" [00:24] hmw, i found (googled, damn gotta love google) i used the command "metacity –replace". article here.. nice little read/tip metacity –replace [00:24] ziggles, define cheap [00:24] azlon: probably the first. It could also be /media/disk/ or something similar. [00:24] ziggles, sidewalk :) [00:24] azlon, normally yes but it should be located in /media [00:24] install, i put it in an external cd.. how would i do the same with livecd? [00:24] bonez451: scp is certainly another option, though [00:25] hmw thanks anyway ;) that might just help you out in the future ;) [00:25] Sylphid, less than $500 and AWESOME :) [00:25] I am comfy with scp.. have used it often.. [00:25] ok.. [00:25] usser, lol... mine feels like it belongs on a sidewalk [00:25] kabukan: are you trying to install and once you get past the first screen on the live cd then .. nothing? [00:25] slerder - same as relogging. should remember that - how was the command to type? you can also install fusion-icon - lets you do it with the mouse, and you can switch off compiz temporarily without messing up its settings. [00:25] been looking @ slickdeals and the dell outlet, but was hoping someone awesome might know a better source for being cheap. [00:26] ziggles, check out the custom builds that cnet does every so often [00:26] slerder - not the same as relogging, but the same effect, i wanted you to cause === Someone is now known as Guest79365 [00:26] bonez451: personally, since i'm not familiar with scp myself, i'd use tar piped to netcat, but that's a bit... crude, and i'm sure scp is a better option [00:26] Sylphid, what should i google to find it? [00:26] ziggles, sorry... not cnet but toms hardware [00:26] slerder - problem solved? [00:26] ziggles: check out the "business" section on dell.. they don't package all the bloatware with those machines and they are less $$'s [00:26] ziggles, my first computer was from sidewalk, but on a more serious note, buy parts from newegg.com and assemble it yourself you'll easily fit in 300$ with a pretty beefy machine [00:26] ziggles, looking [00:26] anyone familiar with the "beige screen" hangs after login screen problem [00:27] kabukan: ping [00:27] Scunizi i can do everything till partitioning wont see drive [00:27] ugh.. lol. is there anyway for me to use an external cdrom for LiveCD? (my bios doesn't support usb & i got my alternate install working by switching the ubuntu cd into the external cdrom right before "checking for cdroms".. my issue is that my laptops cdrom doesn't properly read the cds so i need to use the external..) [00:27] Scunizi, really, we're paying 1200$ for dell 755's with a 19" monitors [00:27] kabukan: is it a 8200 chipset board? [00:27] vertigo - thats probably not one single "beige screen" problem. Several problems could cause that. You could try switching to the console (CTRL-ALT-F2) and examine the log files or simply kill the X server with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE - in some cases restarting X helps. [00:28] it works when i boot from recovery mode and type "startx" but when it loads from regual kernel it hangs after login screen [00:28] usser: ?? [00:28] LjL just one problem.. the older machine, fromk which I hope to copy all the files.. had no CDROM in it.. can I still do this if i run at level 1, or whichever level would allow me to be unmounted and yet keep the networking intact?

[00:29] hmw: i have my nvidia installed correctly because i can get gnome to load just fine using the recovery boot option and then going to root and typing start x [00:29] bonez451: should be doable. actually, the networking might not be *very* intact if it's handled by network-manager... but it should be if you just have it configured in /etc/network/interfaces [00:29] I guess I could do that.. with a thumb drive.. ok [00:30] usser: ah..

See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer and https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/email-services.html [00:32] elad`, ubuntu should have a built in smtp server, sendmail, there are alternatives, exim, postfix. they are not that trivial to configure though [00:32] iam sorry,,, [00:32] kabukan: might be a couple of things.. bad drive (just experienced that myself), a drive that the archetecture can't be seen because of a bug in the kernel (I think that's where it is) or the chipset. If it's the chipset at the first screen on the live cd hit F6 and at the end of the kernel line after erasing quiet & splash put pci=nomsi.. that's what fixed my problem. [00:32] vertigo - the log file is large. Dont let it confuse you, be patient. [00:32] right now i use a 32bit proc ... u guys think if i switch to a 64bit proc ill run into probs iwth ubuntu? [00:32] i can afford to wait till things get better [00:32] LjL can I find a USB image on www.ubuntu.com? it is fairly easy to set up on a usb device? would a usb zip drive work? [00:32] ziggles: no reason why you should [00:33] Scunizi will try doing it now [00:33] bonez451: it's not *incredibly* easy [00:33] !liveusb [00:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about liveusb [00:33] LjL but with time and persistence. it's doable. [00:33] !usb [00:33] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [00:33] bonez451: but are you sure you shouldn't just be doing it the way you said - from a single-user (recovery) mode system? [00:33] LjL, i'm sorry, what? [00:33] I get that mixed up all the time >> [00:33] !usb [00:33] In Eclipse's settings, I've chosen the compiler compliance level to be 6.0 by default, but when creating projects, java-1.5.0-gcj is my only option. Help? [00:33] ziggles: i meant, i can't see why you'd run into problems [00:33] does anyone know a voice changer for linux? [00:33] ah got ya. thx :) [00:34] ziggles: you can just keep using the 32bit version of ubuntu even on a 64bit processor [00:34] but 64bit costs more :) [00:34] Scunizi: if this works i wont have to do it again right it will see my sata drive always [00:34] ziggles: most relatively-new processors are 64-bit. The entire Intel Core 2 line, for example. [00:34] is there anyway for me to boot the livecd off of a usb-externel cdrom without usb bios support? (maybe from within the alt installer or something?.. my internal cdrom corrupts data sometimes..) [00:35] ziggles: it's not the 64-bit that makes them cost more, it's the newerness [00:35] chupy - what does voice changer program do? [00:35] how can i create a tar from all the files in a folder? [00:35] chupy: not voice changers per se, but "apt-cache search real time audio effect" will give you a couple of programs that can do stuff to realtime audio [00:36] wolter: The tar manpage has some good examples. [00:36] is there a recursive chown? [00:36] wolter: tar -cf archive.tar folder/ [00:36] biouser: the -R option. [00:36] biouser: chown -R [00:36] hmw LjL thanks audacity works? [00:36] LjL, yeah, but that will put all folder's files inside folder. I want just to have all folders files loose inside the tar [00:37] right, capitol R, found it in the man, was about to panic ;) ty LjL rww [00:37] I need some help with a Atheros Card [00:37] How does one replace Speedfan with a program ? [00:37] (in linux) [00:37] In Eclipse's settings, I've chosen the compiler compliance level to be 6.0 by default, but when creating projects, java-1.5.0-gcj is my only option. Help? [00:37] chupy: no, not audacity, that's not realtime. i was thinking more "creox", "ecamegapedal" or "tapiir" [00:37] can anyone tell me how to force an app to release my mouse and keyboard... specifically nexuiz [00:37] rww: oh [00:37] dell inspiron mini 9 netbooks are going for $185 right now.... geeze (with ubuntu) [00:37] Scunizi: doesnt see the drive at all in the partitioner tried using gparted it doesnt see the drive either, its a brand new seagate barracuda [00:37] i am gonna tate all of them [00:37] is there some reason why to prefer dash for the system posix compliant shell to bash? [00:37] chupy: if you don't need it real-time, though... then just about any soundfile editor (including audacity) will let you, for example, change the pitch of audio - and that's a crude but effective way to change a voice [00:37] elad`: You need to tell Ubuntu to use a different java version: sudo update-alternatives --config java (and perhaps javac as well) [00:37] no i want it in real time [00:38] is there a tar irc channel? [00:38] litb: dash is POSIX complient and a lot faster than bash [00:38] #gnu, wolter [00:38] oh [00:38] wolter: sorry, didn't understand your concern here [00:38] i see [00:38] LjL, do you understand me now? [00:38] litb: there's more info about it at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh [00:38] and what about 4.0 ? [00:38] oh [00:38] !atheros [00:38] wolter: err... no [00:38] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:38] chupy - you might google for a "vocoder" program. [00:38] elad`: Actually, sudo update-java-alternatives should do them all at once [00:38] litb: bash 4.0 isn't in the repositories yet [00:39] Pici, /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java is the currently selected. Shouldn't that be the one? [00:39] please help with sound problem in my notebook. I have no sound at all [00:39] has anyone run windows games in any xp virtual machines successfully [00:39] LjL, uh ok. supposed i have file.cpp in folder/. I want to make folder.tar have file.cpp inside it, not folder/file.cpp. [00:39] b1n42y, solitare in vmware [00:40] rww: nice thanks [00:40] hmw searching... [00:40] ziggles: no 3d support? [00:40] b1n42y - some of my programs refused to work, because the copy protection thought, the CD would have been a virtual CD. [00:40] LjL, do you understand now? [00:40] wolter: oh - yes, i do now. well, one simple way is to just "cd" to the directory first [00:40] are there any anti-rootkit "helper daemons" that exist to notify me if one looks like its gonna be installed in a repository? [00:40] wolter: cd folder; tar -cf filename.tar * [00:41] rww LjL thanks! [00:41] chupy - a machine making robot voice in real time is called "Vocoder". I hope, you find some. [00:41] Kirsch: a rootkit installed in a repository...? [00:41] LjL: anti-rootkit [00:41] Kirsch: ah, yes. [00:41] im reading about mkisofs but there are quite a few tags, how can i create an ISO of my current filesystem using mskisofs? [00:42] Kirsch: "chkrootkit" and "rkhunter" [00:42] LjL: thanks === [_flame] is now known as [[flame]] [00:42] mkisofs / /media/WD Passport/image.iso? [00:42] i found an extention for xmms [00:42] any preferences to either? [00:42] Kirsch: standard practice according to google is... to use both [00:42] azlon: for a start, you'd want to change "WD Passport" to "WD\ Passport" [00:43] fair enough :-) [00:43] azlon: oh what you can create isos of current system... nice like ghosting ... [00:43] chupy: xmms1 isn't supported any more [00:43] Kirsch: they don't really run in the background anyway - you have to run them manually when you want to check (although i believe the packages install a cronjob for you) [00:43] b1n42y: yeah, i now have my system working exactly the way i want it, now i want to keep it for when i mess it up in a couple days :) [00:43] :( [00:44] Kirsch: if you want something that *actually* works in the background as a daemon, then i'm afraid you're out of luck... although you could use broader-scope security-checking packages that can monitor for changes to any files, for instance [00:44] Kirsch: but those things aren't specific to rootkits, and can be annoying on a desktop install i suspect [00:44] I installed Postfix, telneted to 127.0.0.1 and sent a message to my gmail account. It told me the message was queued. I then QUIT-ed. I can't see the message on my gmail account, neither in the inbox nor the spam folder. I take it that it wasn't delivered. Why? Is it still queued? [00:44] LjL: understood, this is going to be on a server so... [00:44] gotta go bye [00:44] azlon, if you have a large fs (> 650 MB) you can use a gparted live cd and burn your entire file system to an image over FTP to a local FTP server [00:44] azlon: you could also setup virtualbox and mess with that b4 messing with your 'real' system [00:45] b1n42y, good call [00:45] elad`: It's possible that your ISP is blocking you from running an SMTP server. Many do. === e_e is now known as innociv [00:45] rww, why? [00:45] Huufarted: shanks [00:45] Oh. Spam. Bastards. [00:45] elad`: to avoid spam and open relays... [00:45] Kirsch: well, "tripwire" is the first integrity checker that springs to mind to me (still not sure it works as a daemon), but there are more [00:45] How am I going to learn about SMTP then? [00:45] elad`: exactly [00:46] Kirsch: do keep in mind that using things like tripwire will mean that you get notified when *any* file in root is changed - even if you changed it and you know you changed it [00:46] Is there some publicly accessible SMTP server I can interact with through the mail reader I'm writing? [00:46] hrmm [00:47] elad`: to send mail? your ISP's smtp server or gmail's... [00:47] Also, how do I use postfix to see if my ISP is indeed blocking me? [00:47] i just want to create an ISO of my drive on my external HDD... im running a netbook so i cant burn it to CD or DVD [00:47] rww: My ISP's server uses ESMTP. I'd like to start with the simpler SMTP. [00:47] LjL: tripwire is a good idea, and i've actually written a script to do similar things, my server's been getting hacked pretty consistently the past few days, so if i need something like that, i may us ethat instead of a custom script. [00:47] elad`: oh. I think gmail's SMTP server has complications too. [00:47] i [00:47] rww: is gmail fucked up today for some reason? or was that me? [00:47] rww, unless ESMTP is actually quite simpler, and you can direct me at an example of a session. [00:48] rww, could I send you an email then, to see if it is indeed gmail? [00:48] Kirsch: 1) Please don't cuss in this channel, it's against the channel guidelines. 2) It's been working fine for me. [00:48] I'm trying to copy files from an old ntfs partition and I keep getting the message "permission denied" on some, but not all, files, even when I use sudo... what could be wrong? [00:48] rww: ok sorry [00:48] elad`: send only local mail [00:48] does anyone know if theres a way to convert ubuntus ext3 or reiser to ext4 and reiser4 respectively and is it wise to do so? [00:48] erUSUL? [00:49] b1n42y: no idea about reiser, but Ubuntu Intrepid doesn't support ext4. I hear it's possible to do it in Jaunty, but Jaunty isn't supported here (try #ubuntu+1) [00:49] Kirsch: you may want to apt-cache search for "integrity check", "intrusion detect", "file change check", you'll get a few good hits. i think (though i haven't tried yet) that if you add "dnotify" or "inotify" as a keyword, you'll likely narrow down the search to those programs that actually work as daemon (since dnotify is the infrastructure in the kernel that lets programs know when files change) [00:49] anyone here good with getting a mail server to work correctly with ubuntu? [00:49] elad`: I use gmail, so I don't think I'm the person to ask ;) [00:49] b1n42y: It's not very wise to do so, no. The gains aren't that great, and the risk is reasonably high. [00:49] rww: thanks, i guess i'll wait till april [00:49] b1n42y: for ext3 --> to ext4 is possible but not wise [00:49] How do I see postfix's logs, or whatever, to see if the message is still in the queue? [00:49] LjL: that sounds like a great way for me to go, thanks! i'm gonna do this now and see. thanks for the help!! [00:49] THANKS [00:49] bcurtiswx: ask a more specific question [00:50] b1n42y: If you have good backups and you're running a high-performance system which needs every bit of performance, then it's probably a good idea to do a restore from backup after formatting as ext4. [00:50] anyone know how i can mount an external usb cdrom & boot it from within the alt. install cd? [00:50] elad@elad-desktop:~$ postfix start [00:50] postfix: error: to submit mail, use the Postfix sendmail command [00:50] nellmathew: What do you mean, from within the alternate install CD? [00:50] ryanprior: im just trying to squeeze out every drop from my laptops 5400rpm HD [00:50] oh [00:50] sudo [00:50] sorry [00:51] elad`: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:51] has anyone noticed issues recently Totem streaming internet radio? [00:51] Kirsch: but anyway i would also try to think of the root of the problem, as you say you're getting "hacked pretty constantly" - that's kind of worrying, isn't it? i mean, sure, *detecting* an instrusion is useful, but preventing them is even more so. does your server have and need very many services open to the internet? [00:51] ryanprior: from within the command line maybe?.. my internal cdrom won't read cds properly.. and i don't have bios usb support. [00:51] b1n42y: pretty sure ext4 on a laptop isn't going to get you any significant performance gain [00:51] i did the tutorial for how to set up a mail server at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer i see the messages in /var/mail/ [00:51] b1n42y: Ah. ext4 is mostly designed to allow higher performance for servers with big hard drives and make things nicer for system administrators. If you want better laptop performance, you should get a faster hard drive or SSD; filesystem changes won't affect you much, since 5400 rpm is always going to be slow. [00:51] i installed squirrelmail [00:51] all: i have a usb thumb drive that i can't seem to use on any type of machine. i'd like to reformat it, but how do i know what /dev/sd# number it is? [00:51] and tried using evolution [00:52] but i can't get it to grab those messages into a mail GUI [00:52] !enter | bcurtiswx [00:52] bcurtiswx: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:52] nellmathew: If you don't have bios usb support, you're probably going to be out of luck. [00:52] rww: ryanprior: thanks looks like it just noatime and maybe writeback journaling for me then , yes? [00:52] nellmathew: You might try netbooting, if your BIOS supports that. [00:53] haha, ok, one more time here.. [00:53] is there a way i can kill my onboard PCI Intel video card so it doesnt load into Xorg [00:53] rww, can I check if postfix has messages it didn't manage to deliver? [00:53] stevetarot: bios? [00:53] bcurtiswx: are u using pop or imap [00:53] i did the tutorial for how to set up a mail server at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer i see the messages in /var/mail/, i installed squirrelmail, and tried using evolution, but i can't get it to grab those messages into a mail GUI [00:53] im using imap [00:54] and what errors do u see [00:54] i've tried pop3 too, (i didn't restrict which i would use). [00:54] b1n: i set bios to PCI but when i boot up it still sees my Intel card, im afraid this is messing up my boot [00:54] propagandhi: nothing abnormal [00:54] well what happens when u try to connect to the mailbox [00:55] ppl there's any way to mount a ext4 fs in ubuntu 8.10? [00:55] nothing.. it asks for password.. then nothing gets downloaded [00:55] just for ro no write [00:55] WarriorSlayer: You can mount ext4 as ext3 or ext2 for read-only access. [00:56] ryanprior: how? [00:56] bcurtiswx: is anything recorded in the logs [00:56] WarriorSlayer: Same command you would use to mount an ext3 or ext2 filesystem as read-only. [00:56] ryanprior: mount -ro source dest? [00:56] stevetarot: didnt you say you want to kill your onboard gfx card [00:56] pci* [00:56] WarriorSlayer: mount -ro -t ext3 source dest [00:57] is there a cool frontent for lame, that lets me convert a few tracks in one go? [00:57] bcurtiswx: and which did u go with courier, cyrus or dovecot [00:57] Question, how does ubuntu handel terabyte drives? any issues reported? [00:57] yes, i have two video cards, one is onboard one is nvidia [00:57] propagandhi: theres a nice test at http://www.zoneedit.com/smtp.html and it works, yes there are things in the logs, but its not error messages, "Feb 27 19:44:37 weather dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, TLS" [00:57] rdz: ripperx [00:57] ryanprior: ty very much dude :] [00:57] Scunizi, thanks [00:57] but im afraid autoboot loads up the onboard one and not nvidia [00:57] Has anyone asked google what the latest Ubuntu release is recently? :) [00:57] rdz: it's in the repo's.. :) [00:57] is there a way i can see wich video card xorg is trying to use [00:58] Scunizi, very cool. already found it [00:58] stevetarot: lsmod [00:58] stevetarot: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:58] my notebook has 4 primary partitions (ntfs system, huge ntfs data, swap, linux) and i need more. Can I convert a primary into an extended partition? Do I have to delete hda2 (ntfs data) and make it all new? [00:58] http://www.google.com/search?q=latest+ubuntu+release === Bruce is now known as Brucey [00:59] Spang: #ubuntu-offtopic is the best place for non-support questions [00:59] hmw: You could resize an old partition with extra space on it in order to create a new one. === bernz_ is now known as bernz [00:59] ryanprior - i already have 4 primary partitions. [00:59] Scunizi, i actually have wav files, no cd. do you know, if there is way to use ripperx to also encode wav files to mp3? [01:00] Not so much a question, just thought google's answer might have been of interest. Apologies :) [01:00] how can I add a new virtual font to my system (I want to instruct my system to show dejavu when it is asked for bitstream vera) [01:00] rdz: hmmm.. never tried that one.. just a sec [01:00] if I want to use NVIDIA PCI:2:0:0 is that something i should put in xorg.conf [01:00] Scunizi, aha.. nevermind.. i guess you can only rip from cd [01:00] by the way if anyone has encountered bottom panel getting stuck, disable animation in panel properties in configuration editor [01:01] ryanprior - i already have 4 primary partitions, so I have to cancel one, to make an extended there. (you only got 4 partition entries. With extended you have max. 3 primary + several in the extended) [01:01] rdz: not true [01:01] Scunizi, the name says it all, doesn't it? [01:01] hmw: You can create as many primary partitions as you acn stomach. [01:01] Scunizi, ah... cool... [01:01] ryanprior - no. [01:01] rdz: you can do what you want.. open the configuration button and take a look.. you'll see an option to "convert from existing wav" to mp3 === Brucey is now known as Bruceee [01:01] ryanprior - not with the MBR (msdos) we are using. [01:02] Scunizi, found it.. many thanks [01:02] ey, what messenger support webcam please, i don't like amsn === tabidachi-away is now known as tabidachi [01:02] rdz: :) .. my paypal account is...... [01:02] overmind: skype [01:02] overmind: ekiga .. and it's built in [01:02] stevetarot: if im not mistaken there should be a GUI program for selecting GFX card, which will dump it into your xorg file [01:02] All? Help with a usb thumb drive? [01:03] not mounting? [01:03] ok friends thank's [01:03] Correct. [01:03] Not even an option. [01:03] hmw: Ah, you mean you aren't using LVM. That sucks. [01:03] But others do. [01:03] stevetarot: have you tried system > admin > hardware drivers [01:04] MidtownNewbie: check this out.. I just had to use it for an older mp3 player that won't mount anymore on ibex.. did on hardy but not 8.10 .. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB [01:04] ryanprior - yes, it does. Stupid me... guess I will resize the data partition and reinstall Linux to an extended partition. [01:04] MidtownNewbie: I plugged mine in and then immediately typed dmesg into a terminal.. with that info I was able to use the mount command [01:04] Scunizi: okay, but i should've mentioned that the drive doesn't seem to work on *any* machine. [01:05] hmw: Make sure you have good backups. Don't feel stupid -- the installer never says "Hey, it would be a really good idea to use LVM!" which it should IMO. [01:05] Im afraid thats where my boot fails and hangs, its saying my nvidia card is on (0@2:0:0) but my xconf has a line "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0" [01:05] MidtownNewbie: any linux machine or ANY machine? [01:05] Scunizi: any machine, linux or otherwise [01:05] im working in shell right now because when i boot into gnome in safe mode most utilities dont work including the ones you gusy mentioned [01:05] MidtownNewbie: once plugged in does lsusb return anything or dmesg? [01:05] MidtownNewbie: It's busted then. Buy a new one. [01:06] ryanprior - Still stupid me - I wanted 4 primaries, for whatever reason I might have had in mind. [01:06] Scunizi, i still don't see, how you can set the sourcefile.. [01:06] Anyone, i installed an ubuntu mail server through the ubuntu guide. Using dovecot, I seem to get the messages (as they are sitting in /var/mail/) but i can't retrieve them using a GUI (like squirrelmail or evolution).. can anyone help me find out why (i've searched the internet with no help, and logs don't show any errors). [01:06] stevetarot: tried booting in safe mode? [01:06] rdz: hang on [01:06] stevetarot: ahh [01:06] b1: safe mode works and its using my nvidia but regular kernal boot hangs [01:07] bcurtiswx: you probably need to use a mail reader that supports mbox. I think thunderbird can do that. [01:07] ryanprior / Scunizi: lsusb does return something... Bus 001 Device 003: ID 058f:1234 Alcor Micro Corp. [01:07] bcurtiswx: or "local mail delivery". I forget what exactly it calls it [01:07] stevetarot: so can you boot in safe mode and try sys>admin>hardware drivers [01:07] rww: will Mailbox make it so most e-mail software can get mail from my server? [01:07] right now im reading Xorg.0.log but im not seeing anything special [01:07] can anyone tell me how to force an app to release my mouse and keyboard... specifically nexuiz [01:07] MidtownNewbie: Have you tried reformatting it? [01:08] ryanprior: that's what i'd like to do, except i don't know what /dev/sd# it is [01:08] ok hang on b1 let me reboot [01:08] Sylphid: ctrl+alt+backspace kills X in a way that nexuiz shouldn't be able to stop. [01:08] can anyone tell me what the purity package is and what it is used for? [01:08] rdz: I think you just set the directory for where the wav files are located and the directory you want to mp3's to be then click "OK" to get back to the main part of the program and "scan".. I don't have any wav's to test sorry.. [01:08] but from what i can remember that doesn't work in safe mode, throws an error [01:08] is it possible to use turbotax online w/ ubuntu? I swear there used to be a way to skip the system compatibility check [01:08] Sylphid: If that doesn't work because X is borked, alt+sysrq+r puts the keyboard in raw mode, taking control away from x. [01:08] i have no sound in snes9x-gtk [01:09] is there a command line equivalent of admin->hardwaredrivers [01:09] Scunizi, there is no option to set source directory.. where have you seen it? [01:09] where does gnome keep the session files [01:09] MidtownNewbie: It won't be a /dev/sdx I don't think. [01:09] MidtownNewbie: you might be able to find the sd location using dmesg [01:09] where all the data for the programs that should be running is? [01:09] Scunizi: i don't think i saw it in there [01:09] stevetarot: mmm, i think there is actually [01:09] ryanprior, i know ctrl alt backspace doesnt work because nexuiz catches it for some reason [01:09] like for when loging out and logging back in [01:09] can anybody tell me why this doesnt work: sudo mkisofs -split-output -o test.iso / /media/WD\Passport [01:10] so my programs appear again [01:10] ryanprior, ill try sys+r thanks [01:10] im going to boot gnome in safe mode anyway [01:10] rdz: it doesn't say source.. just "wav" directory and "mp3" directory.. I guess you have to accept that it might be smart enough to figure out what you're doing with the switches you've checked. [01:10] with witch command do I access the default internet browser? [01:10] ryanprior: i got the /dev/sd# idea from http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-format-usb-pen-drive/ ... any other way to format it? [01:10] stevetarot: more to do with X setup than hardware [01:10] Sylphid - did you try kill -9 PROCESSNAME ? [01:10] stevetarot: cant remember how to invoke it [01:10] MidtownNewbie: unplug it and plug it back in then check .. should be the last thing in dmesg from terminal [01:10] ryanprior, can you tell me how to put it back to a normal mode? [01:10] MidtownNewbie: Actually, when I put mine in it mounts it as sdb, so maybe that would work. [01:10] what are you lookin for exactly [01:11] ryanprior: MidtownNewbie unless he has other drives in the machine.. [01:11] rww: did you get my last message? [01:11] Sylphid: I don't know. The only time I put the keyboard in raw mode is when my kernel is locking up and I'm trying to shut it down before it starts my 'puter on fire. [01:11] Question: I'm trying to setup a DHCP server to seperate out known and unknown clients into different subnets - does anyone know a good tutorial? [01:11] damn in recovery mode my computer works perfect [01:11] well almost [01:11] hmw, im unable to because trying to switch to a console or a vty is unsuccessful because the game catches the keys and for some reason X does not [01:11] you could also look into apt-get install insert nvidia-package here [01:11] Sylphid, how about CTRL+ALT+F1 ? [01:11] my video card works perfect that is [01:11] ryanprior / Scunizi: shall i pastebin the dmesg output? [01:11] MidtownNewbie: Ah, that came out wrong. I didn't mean "reformat sdb and see if that works"! [01:12] MidtownNewbie: sure [01:12] unop, tried... no go.. nexuiz catches it [01:12] Sylphid - if you got sshd running, you could try from outside [01:12] Scunizi, it doesn't find them.. [01:12] how do i exit of the gui and go to terminal? i dont want to run a terminal, i want to exit out of gui [01:12] okay i went to system->admin->hardware drivers and i got "failed to connect to /var/run/dbus" [01:12] Bruceee - /etc/init.d/gdm stop [01:12] does anyone have a decent tutorial for getting a DHCP server to work? [01:12] if i create an iso of / will that also add /media devices to the iso? [01:12] Sylphid, the magic sysrq sequence then. heard of REISUB? [01:13] Scunizi, i am running ripperx from the directory where the wavs are located, but it doesn't see them. i cannot hit the 'go' button [01:13] rdz: sorry .. you might want to either search synaptic for mp3 or ripper, converter etc.. or read up on lame or mencoder which will also do it.. [01:13] rww: sorry my last question i meant maildir [01:13] hmw, yes that should work ... my goal however is to put the game into the background to switch tasks [01:13] stevetarot: so try sys>admin>hardware drivers ,by the sound of it in safe mode its using generic drivers for nvidia in normal mode it tries loading somehting else and fails [01:13] rdz: you don't have to run it "from" [01:13] I'm trying to debootstrap hardy onto my laptop (from Knoppix (I wonder if I should ask this in #knoppix)) - it validates the packages, it extracts the packages, then it fails with W: Failure trying to run: "chroot /mnt/hda1 mount -t proc proc /proc" - absolutely no idea why, google isn't being of much use [01:13] correct [01:13] any suggestions? [01:13] rdz from the directory.. just change the directory reference in Config.. [01:13] Scunizi, yo.. i know lame, but i am looking for a way to convert several files in one go... [01:13] about that DHCP server... [01:13] unop, yes im familiar with magic sysrq [01:14] stevetarot: ok, have you tried installing drivers from command line [01:14] Scunizi, yeah. the reference is './'.. so the path is ok [01:14] ryanprior / Scunizi: http://pastebin.com/d77d23d94 [01:14] rdz: you can do that with lame and the find command.. I just don't know the particulars [01:14] hmw : says permission denied [01:14] Scunizi, but thanks for your time [01:14] i installed nvidia drivers command line yea [01:14] rdz: sure [01:14] they work great in safe mode [01:14] azlon - I used the --exclude switch for making a full backup of my mounted file system. Look at http://harald.ist.org/LFS/lfs-diary/#a-working-backup for an example. [01:14] hi q: how i can i get the freespace of a NOT mounted NTFS partition [01:14] Maior: try passing --verbose to debootstrap [01:14] Bruceee: sorry, it is "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" [01:14] Scunizi, yo..i know.. but it needs some time to write that script.. and i am sure, that someone has already written it [01:14] what is the difference between "recovery mode" and regular boot [01:14] hmw: thanks [01:14] unop, my app is still responsive, my goal is to toggle between an app that grabs keyboard+mouse from X and switch back to standard input [01:14] avian, you can get dhcpd to dish out IP address for clients with known MAC addresses - but that somewhat defeats the point of using a DHCP server in the first place. Also if you change the NIC on one of the clients, you have to reconfigure the DHCPd [01:15] rdz: should be a sort one liner [01:15] unop, trying to multi task gaming+ other [01:15] i need this for an opensource project i'm on [01:15] unop: Thanks, but I think most of that went over my head. [01:15] stevetarot: less drivers generic drivers.... [01:15] i guess [01:15] Scunizi, hehe.. right.. but still, you need to be comfortable with the bash in order to write it quickly. [01:15] do mail software like evolution and squirrelmail read from Maildir ok.. (as i was just told they don't from mbox) [01:15] Scunizi, i'll try anyway.. thanks [01:16] thank you hmw ! ;-) [01:16] ahhh dang [01:16] dtchen_: exactly the same output [01:16] unop: I really just want to seperate computers with known MACs into one subnet, and everything else into a different subnet, [01:16] hi q: how i can i get the freespace of a NOT mounted NTFS partition [01:16] avian, this should give you an idea - http://www.usenet-forums.com/linux-networking/61735-dhcpd-conf-fixed-address-concrete-host.html [01:16] unop: Thanks [01:16] stevetarot: smoko time, see if theres a difference in your xorg now, whilst in safe mode [01:16] rdz: someone in here can do it in nothing flat [01:16] will do [01:16] rdz, what are you trying to do? [01:16] hmw : seems to halt now, how do i start the gdm again? [01:17] Bruceee: sorry, it is "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" [01:17] dtchen_: do you know a bit about mail servers? [01:17] question: I'm trying to get the most recent version of xfwm installed in intrepid. [01:17] unop: rdz would like to batch convert some wav files to mp3 using lame [01:17] BlueAidan: that wasnt a question. [01:17] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/i386/xfwm4 shows 4.4.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 is available, but I only see 4.4.2-5ubuntu2 [01:17] rdz, for f in *.wav; do lame "$f" "${f%.wav}.mp3"; done [01:17] hmw: patience grasshopper [01:17] Scunizi, i got some 'find' example somewhere... i just need to find it. [01:17] hmw : i stopped it, but seems to halt, is not responding to any commands , what can i do? [01:18] in synaptic [01:18] question: how i can i get the freespace of a NOT mounted NTFS partition [01:18] BlueAidan: okay. I am the master of patience now. [01:18] unop, ah.well.... that is cool as well.. many thanks [01:18] ryanprior / Scunizi: (reposting in case you didn't see it the first time) http://pastebin.com/d77d23d94 [01:18] MidtownNewbie: I don't know what to tell you. USB devices are a mystery to me. [01:19] nevermind [01:19] rdz: unop comes up with good stuff :) .. he's been banging that keyboard for some time [01:19] unop, it is running and saving me a lot of time.. ;-) [01:19] rdz, find /path/to/somewhere -iname "*.wav" -type f -print0 | while read -d '' f; do lame "$f" "${f%.wav}.mp3"; done # should work if you want to recurse into subdirectories [01:19] ryanprior: okay, thanks anyway. Scunizi? [01:19] unop, isn't there '-exec' for find as well? [01:20] rdz, sure .. but I hate using that because it's another level of quoting [01:20] unop, already through [01:20] Brucee - hmm. CTRL-ALT-F2 should bring up the console #2. [01:20] unop, i see [01:20] hmw : thanks again [01:20] trying to get familiar with linux [01:21] unop: do you know if lame also converts wma's ? [01:21] rdz, find /path/to/somewhere -iname "*.wav" -type f -exec sh -c 'lame "$1" "${1%%.wav}.mp3"' _ {} + # should do [01:21] stevetarot: you could also try removing nvidia drivers in safe mode, then read [01:21] unop, crazy.. i need to save that one.. [01:21] Scunizi, i believe it does - but don't quote me on that - i prefer ffmpeg for most conversions [01:21] stevetarot: !nvidia [01:21] hey [01:22] not sure what you mean, i do need my nvidia drivers dont I? [01:22] b1n42y: instead use "!nvidia | stevetarot" [01:22] thanks [01:22] unop: would the command be the same just substitute ffmpeg for lame? [01:22] stevetarot: well it sounds like you botched nvidia driver install [01:23] !nvidia | stevetarot [01:23] stevetarot: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:23] Scunizi, yea pretty much - except with ffmpeg you have to specify the input file with -i -- in that case it's the "$1" [01:23] i want to install kde4.2, but need many dependencies, how i installl those [01:23] hmm ok I will try to reinstall nvidia [01:23] hmw: you mentioned [01:23] what is the command to uninstall the driver? [01:23] yo yo yo [01:24] stevetarot: apt-get remove package name, i think [01:24] hmw: you mentioned "Linux Rescue". i did a search for that in my package manager but was unable to find it. google search gives me tons of unrelated results... where can i find Linux Rescue? [01:24] unop: I'll give it a shot with lame and see how badly these wma's sound after conversion.. Thanks [01:24] b1n42y: thta'll ned sudo [01:24] stevetarot: man apt-get [01:25] ActionParsnip, you a yorkshire lad? [01:25] ActionParsnip: it will tell him :D [01:25] unop: aye, west yorsjire hardcore [01:25] azlon: its not a ubuntu program, but another system containing an easy to use backup thing, it's very similar to Norton Ghost. Google for stuff like "linux rescue livecd download" [01:25] ActionParsnip, nice, south yorks here :) [01:25] b1n42y: i just like full commands [01:25] oh, hmm [01:25] unop: barnsley / sheffield? [01:26] ActionParsnip, sheffield [01:26] i want to install kde4.2, but need many dependencies, how i installl this one time [01:26] unop: i'm leeds represent [01:26] ActionParsnip, I figured from your hostname :) [01:26] unop: nice :) [01:26] hola [01:26] "mount: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by mount)" [01:26] probably not healthy [01:27] azlon: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=System+Rescue+CD&l=1 [01:27] ActionParsnip: i got to go play tennis, help him out if my recommendations dont work, i thought i try seeing how no one picked it up [01:27] dtchen_: ^^ (I found /media/hda1/debootstrap/debootstrap.log) [01:27] unop: smal world eh [01:27] Anyone, i installed an ubuntu mail server through the ubuntu guide. Using dovecot, I seem to get the messages (as they are sitting in /var/mail/) but i can't retrieve them using a GUI (like squirrelmail or evolution).. can anyone help me find out why (i've searched the internet with no help, and logs don't show any errors). im using mbox [01:27] I'm having problems with my external HDD. I am unable to umount it (device is busy) and when I pull the USB and put it back in later, ubuntu doesn't recognize that it even exists without rebooting [01:27] b1n42y: whats the goal [01:27] unop: nope.. lame was lame with wma's. no conversion at all.. so should the command read... for -i in *.wma; do ffmpeg "$i" "${i%.wma}.mp3";done ... ? [01:28] Maior: ouch [01:28] ActionParsnip: normal boot, he cant post x server, safe mode all good, so his nvidia driver install botched IMO [01:28] dtchen_: indeed [01:28] dtchen_: are you good with mail servers? [01:28] dtchen_: really don't get why there's quite so much fail. going to try a random non-hardy thing [01:28] Scunizi: hello? [01:28] is it possible to open a new konsole window an pass some commands that are immediately exectued? like "konsole command" or sth. like that? [01:28] Scunizi, errm no, for f in *.wma; do ffmpeg -i "$f" "${f%.wma}.mp3"; done [01:28] GParted wouldnt let me swapoff, neither did the command line version do it. What could be the reasons? (It seems, i am using 30% of my RAM right now) [01:29] MidtownNewbie: yep [01:29] dtchen_: ah [01:29] unop: ah.. ok.. thanks :) [01:29] Scunizi, it's ffmpeg that takes the -i not for (for is part of bash) [01:29] Scunizi: hey, um, so, my pastebin? had a chance to take a look at it yet? [01:29] dtchen_: /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/hardy is a symlink to gutsy :s [01:29] b1n42y: sounds likely [01:29] dny: gnome-terminal -x EVERYTHING HERE WILL BE EXECUTED [01:29] ActionParsnip, indeed .. but with ubuntu, the world's not so small after all :) [01:30] unop: true true, if you 're in leeds dude look me up [01:30] dtchen_: though actually, looking at symlinks, I suspect they use the name for things [01:30] ActionParsnip, sure :) [01:30] ActionParsnip: his in the process of uninstalling and starting again after reading bots nvidia link [01:30] * unop runs a physical traceroute on ActionParsnip :) [01:30] unop: for what it's worth - Essex/Cambridge ;) [01:31] wow [01:31] hmw: ah thank you, i figured out for kde konsole it's -e [01:31] unop: kirkstall uk, come on over [01:31] Maior, you exist in two counties? :) [01:31] is ebox supposed to install and setup like 4573027320 different services? [01:31] but the window closes :( [01:31] MidtownNewbie: sorry.. my irc client is acting weird when my nick isn't mentioned first in the line I don't get highlighted on this end.. can you repost it? [01:31] unop: depends on time of year ;) [01:31] b1n42y: whats the username [01:31] Maior, ahh - I was beginning to worry then :p [01:31] Scunizi: http://pastebin.com/d77d23d94 [01:32] dny: -e looks like the thing that only takes the word immediately after the -e. In gnome-terminal -x is the same as -e, but the whole rest of the command is interpreted as to be executed. Might be the same in KDE. [01:33] ryanprior - just deleted the swap and made an ext of it. Yeah! I dont even have to touch some fstab things! [01:33] Is anyone familiar with dpkg? I'm trying to figure out how to duplicate some rpm functionality [01:33] hmw: Just make sure you don't use it for swap space by accident. =P [01:33] is telinit 3 safe to execute from shell when X is not running? [01:33] uptill3, somewhat. what do you want to know? [01:33] MidtownNewbie: looks like it's seen but it doesn't respond with a /dev point.. have you tried looking for it with gparted? [01:33] ryanprior - i am currently trying to activate hda5 as swap [01:34] ryanprior - hda3 is my ext now. [01:34] Scunizi: will try, 1 sec [01:34] stevetarot, on debian/ubuntu, runlevels 2 to 5 are all the same -- it doesn't make a difference, but yea, you should be ok to do that [01:34] hmw: well my idea is to open a konsole window with ssh connection via hotkey [01:34] Scunizi: try '/hilight Scunizi', irssi highlights you even when your nick is at the end of a sentence (or anywhere, for that matter) then [01:35] crap i got a segmentation fault [01:35] why do I keep getting segmentation faults [01:35] dny: i don't know the KDE terminal. If you encounter problems, you could try encapsulating the ssh command in quotation marks: "ssh user@..." [01:35] unop: I'm trying to figure out how to duplicate 'rpm -qa --changelog' [01:35] RantingHuman: Thanks.. I typically do that but I'm ssh'd into a server on my lan that's fairly new.. Needless to say I'm still taming it. :) [01:35] unop: within dpkg, if it's even possible [01:35] Scunizi: ah, all right :D [01:36] uptill3, its been 7 years since I used any redhat - what does that do? [01:36] unop: it pukes out the changelog for all the packages installed currently [01:36] stevetarot: seg faults are memory issues, or programs accessing memory issues if im not mistaken if it happens alot run memtest from boot cd [01:36] unop: I'm trying to port a script that uses that to search for patch names within the output to verify that certain things have been applied [01:37] RantingHuman: love irssi.. and screen.. espicially with screen split horizontally [01:37] uptill3, I guess this is out of the scope of dpkg .. I think you might be interested in apt-listchanges [01:37] should I re-install Heron Ubuntu, is it more stable? [01:37] hmw: i also tried that, but the window always closes, and a simple "konsole --new-tab" does not work... perhaps my installation is broken [01:37] unop: is that a package? [01:37] Scunizi: me too, but I have yet to try splitting it horizontally [01:37] uptill3, yes [01:37] ah, just found it [01:37] stevetarot: whta version you using at the moment [01:37] thanks, I'll check it out [01:38] the latest on the ubuntu homepage [01:38] does anyone know of any at home computer jobs that work [01:38] uptill3, maybe, apt-listbugs too? [01:38] 8.10? [01:38] yes yes [01:38] hmw: now i got it. thanks for your help ;) [01:38] RantingHuman: easy.. ^aS then ^a TAB to switch from top to bottom.. ^aX to eliminate the split [01:38] dny: Looks like the command is being executed and the terminal thinks, it wouldnt be needed anymore. Look at the man page. [01:38] unop: thanks [01:39] Scunizi: i don't think gparted sees the usb thumb drive [01:39] is there a channel that knows about jobs from home that work [01:39] stevetarot: 8.10 seems fine for me, how old is your computer ? when did you get seg faults? [01:39] MidtownNewbie: that's quite possible.. if it doesn't see it and you can't find it with sudo fdisk -l or in dmesg then toss it. [01:40] i get seg faults all the time i thought it was from not restarting correctly/unmounting [01:40] Scunizi: I guess, I'd need other windows for it [01:40] I'm getting an error when I'm running ebox: (Error code: ssl_error_rx_unexpected_change_cipher) [01:40] stevetarot: test your memory like i said [01:40] and the interface seems all messed up [01:40] can anyone recommend a good note-taking/organizing program for Ubuntu/GNOME, kind of similar to KJots (for use with Kontact PIM in KDE)? [01:40] dtchen_: so, I just umounted /dev/hda1, re-mkfs.ext3-ed on it, and re-mount-ed, and re-debootstrap-ed, and it worked... [01:40] dtchen_: cheers though! [01:40] homercycles: basket [01:41] b1n42y: thanks. I'll look into that [01:41] Scunizi: yeah, i'm pretty sure that fisk -l comes up with bubkes. looks like i'm gonna have to toss it. [01:41] RantingHuman: ? no.. once you split and move to the empty half then ^ac to get a shell prompt.. when creating the split remember that ^aS is with a capital S .. not a small s which will change the flow control [01:41] homercycles: thats kde but theres no probs in installing software made for kde into gnome [01:41] MidtownNewbie: good thing is they are cheap and getting cheaper every day :) [01:41] Scunizi: ahhh, capital... :) [01:42] b1n42y: I have one already, I think VirtualBox uses QT libs [01:42] RantingHuman: syntax.. syntax.. syntax :) [01:42] Scunizi: thanks anyway for your help [01:42] MidtownNewbie: wish I could have done more.. but you're welcome :) [01:42] Scunizi: thanks, this is awesome :D [01:43] RantingHuman: It's like running two monitors.. once you do it . it's really hard to go back. [01:43] b1n42y: I want it to organise all the little chunks of code I've accumulated over the years (unless you know of a better code organizer/snippets collection thing?) [01:43] Scunizi: isnt that the truth.. (about 2 displays) [01:43] Scunizi: I used to for work. i find it excessive [01:43] RantingHuman: now install surfraw and from a terminal prompt type ... sr google and see what happens.. [01:43] homercycles: snipt.net is pretty cool [01:44] ActionParsnip: lol, blasphemy! :) [01:44] anyone set up a reverse proxy before ? [01:44] felixsculla: thanks, that's good to know, too (but I'm mainly interested in offline programs) [01:44] I hear alot about ubunto.Does ubunto have all the libs nessesary to prevent dependacyissues when installing rpms ? [01:44] harry_v: Ubuntu doesn't use RPMs. [01:45] harry_v: first, its ubuntU.. and second, ubuntu doesn't use rpms [01:45] Which of these is an authentication method? http://pastebin.com/d7d922d6 [01:45] ubuntu doesnt use rpms [01:45] !software > harry_v (harry_v, see the private message from ubottu) [01:45] Scunizi: I'd been using Terminator to do this, so far... guess I should have read screen's man page a bit more carefully :) [01:45] IndyGunFreak: I'm hooked but have a hard time getting my wife to give me a kitchen pass to replace my last bad one.. and ActionParsnip until you're dealing with multiple docs that you need to reference on one screen and do something on the other.. well.. there is no need.. or photo editing.. [01:45] what does it use [01:45] harry_v: its based on debian [01:45] !deb | harry_v [01:45] harry_v: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [01:45] .debs [01:45] okay [01:45] harry_v: APT, the Debian packaging system. please check the link i gave you. [01:45] harry_v: .debs, and it has a package manager called apt that manages dependencies. [01:45] Scunizi: IndyGunFreak: i RDP to abput 9 servers at one time so 3 I had monitors. I get by now working from home with a single display on a laptop [01:45] ive been using apt for 10 years now [01:46] Then you should be familiar with it ;) [01:46] hmm [01:46] RantingHuman: elinks for the terminal is the easiest for me for web browsing.. also mutt for email tied to gmail's imap [01:46] very [01:46] Scunizi: as for surfraw, it's opening my non-default browser... (opera) [01:46] harry_v: then you should be fairly familiar w/ it [01:46] harry_v: ok, but APT wasn't originally intended to be used with RPMs [01:46] homercycles: ive been looking into note taking apps for my tablet pc basket wasnt it but it should be good for you alternativley google mind mapping, note organising linux... but i think youll like basket [01:46] harry_v: APT is intended to be used with Debian packages, and that's what Ubuntu employs [01:46] ok tennis time good luck all [01:47] RantingHuman: yea.. you can change the config to revert to terminal browsers if you want... fast search though. [01:47] what does Memtest86+ do? [01:47] ActionParsnip: so you've been there.. maybe I'll get over my A.D.D. with dual monitors some day too :) [01:47] b1n42y: I considered Tomboy but it's just a bit too basic, I think [01:47] Scunizi: sure its convenient, but for the price of the extra monitors I can go on a holiday to experience new cultures and broaden my horizons, which would you choose? [01:47] stevetarot: Tests the ram, not needed in most cases and is very time consuming [01:47] stevetarot: checks you ram for errors [01:48] thanks [01:48] yeah its taking forever [01:48] ActionParsnip: $79 us.. for a 17 inch.. all I really need for a secondary [01:48] Scunizi: i can fly to amsterdam for 4 UD [01:48] stevetarot: You only need to run it if you suspect your memory has issues, if you have never had a problem with the system then there's not much reason to use it [01:48] *USD [01:48] using linux since the days of slackware [01:49] Scunizi: so i'd rather get educatated than have some poxy monitor, life is too short dude, you need to get out of the house [01:50] Scunizi: your pc and displays may be a billion times awesome than mine but im sure as hell ive seen a lot more of the world [01:50] !wan [01:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about wan [01:50] anyone know how to spit out my external wan address from the command line?

[01:53] Iceman_B^Ltop: wel then im saving. but no a monitor cost way more than a ticket [01:54] ...what kind of monitor are we talking here?

[01:55] Fly to Los Angeles, it'll cost a lot more than a monitor, and cover more of the world [01:55] CaptainMorgan: I don't know of a simple way to do that without say, having some web host report back what IP your request came from [01:55] hey all [01:55] Iceman_B^Ltop: pretty cheap, I can experience gemany or buy a monitor and sit in my office, choices eh...
