[01:13] _VIM_, hahaha, I'm at 2/3 PCs on Ubuntu. I'm working that way [01:13] <_VIM_> Huufarted: been there, just last year infact [01:13] huufarted: I have a realtek wireless card and i have to compile a driver everytime my system restarts, i want to automate it [01:13] <_VIM_> totally converted now [01:13] Fosco__: aptitude show PACKAGE [01:13] Fosco__: | grep Version [01:13] mikeshollen, the chipset is realtek? [01:13] Huufarted> i do that [01:13] huufarted: everytime my system loads, i have to type out a CD command, then ./makedrv, then./wlan0up [01:13] huufarted: correct, 8185 [01:14] fidelitysystem_, there are too many variables. I have no way of knowing what the problem is without seeing your config. Is your server set to a static IP internally? [01:14] mm i dont know [01:14] _VIM_: Did it finish running yet? [01:14] mikeshollen, that would be done in .bash_profile I think, but there's a deeper problem with it. The real problem is why it doesn't load to start with [01:14] huufarted: i got this to work before i reinstalled ubuntu by adding it to etc/init.d/rc.local but now when i try to edit rc.local it tells me that i don't have permission even tho i went in using sudo nautilus [01:14] <_VIM_> storbeck: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124509/ [01:15] <_VIM_> sorry for that delay [01:15] _VIM_: hehe, run it as sudo [01:15] <_VIM_> k [01:15] anyone of you guys use winefish? [01:15] I wonder if the spellcheck can also do highlighting [01:15] mikeshollen, first I'd recommend learning vi. :) then you can do that through the command line, but that's another ball of wax. [01:16] beyond that, mikeshollen I can't help you. Working with the wireless drivers is over my head. [01:16] huufarted; i got it working before and I was VERY happy with it, i just need a file that will run 3 commands automatically when the system starts [01:16] mikeshollen, you need to resolve that issue in my opinion, not the rebuilding of the drivers each time [01:16] Anyone here use 64bit, and Perl. Could you try to install Tkx via cpan.. need to see if it's just me getting a segfault. [01:16] to be honest mikeshollen I don't know how to add it to system startup [01:16] np [01:17] I know how ot add it to individual logins [01:17] anyone of you guys use winefish? [01:17] Someone knows where the usplash messages come from? I removed the parameter "quiet" from defoptions ind menu.lst. I searched through all the /etc/init.d/ scripts but couldnt find these messages printed. [01:17] I wonder if the spellcheck can also do highlighting [01:17] mikeshollen: Make a script and add it to rc [01:17] What is gdl indexer? [01:17] storbeck: great idea, but I can't open rc or rclocal [01:17] Why not? [01:18] storbeck: it keeps telling me I don't have permission even when I am using the super user nautilus [01:18] mikeshollen, what are the permissions on the rc.local and rc.d directories? [01:18] <_VIM_> storbeck: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124510/ [01:18] mikeshollen, the directories themselves [01:18] _VIM_: Which one is your dvdrom drive? [01:18] "DVD Writer 1040d"?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:19] I'd like to backup a full drive, is there a tool that would let me make an iso out of a harddrive? [01:19] im on the youtube site, and i cant play videos [01:19] ok 1 sec [01:19] org [01:19] diztract: sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree [01:19] ty [01:19] huufarted: i'm not quite sure what you mean, when I go into etc/init.d/rclocal or rc it won't open and it seems to be owned by root [01:20] There were 2 people on a boat: /hop and /quit. /hop got off, who's still on the boat? [01:20] mike: ls -l /etc/init.d copy/paste the permissions for rclocal [01:20] huufarted: which doesn't make sense because I thought typing sudo in front of nautilus would give me the ability to edit that file [01:20] !troll | warloc [01:20] warloc: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubotu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [01:20] _VIM_: http://pastebin.com/d843d801 - give it a whirl :) [01:20] <_VIM_> ok storbeck [01:21] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 522 2009-02-27 23:10 rc.local [01:21] mobodo_: what do you mean by "make an iso"? [01:21] mcphail: it's alright, sorry for asking, I just realized I can do it with dd :) [01:21] sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree [01:21] mikeshollen: Are you not the admin? [01:21] oops [01:21] lol [01:21] guess that didnt work [01:21] mikeshollen, try using 'gksudo' in front of nautilus instead of suudo [01:21] diztract, in a terminal [01:21] mobodo_: yes, i was going to suggest that! [01:21] storbeck: i thought I was, when i created the install i used michael as the login name and that's what i always use to log in [01:21] does anybody have an opinion on the easiest virualization option for ubuntu 8.10? [01:22] what's a terminal? [01:22] =/ [01:22] anyone of you guys use winefish? I wonder if the spell check can also do highlighting [01:22] diztract: terminal is a command prompt [01:22] mikeshollen: What happens when you type, sudo vi [01:22] Or something to that affect? [01:22] ohhhhhhh [01:22] Does anyone here use Mumble, the voip chat program? I have it installed and I've been trying to find a english speaking server. Seems like there isn't any. Is there any linux Mumble servers I can try out?? [01:22] diztract, Applications, Accessoriies, Terminal. Then type in that command [01:22] like the dos prompt [01:22] diztract: you can find it in applications accessories [01:22] it gives me a vi screen [01:23] what do you wanna know from there? [01:23] mikeshollen: Then you do have access to rc :) you can get root [01:23] Diztract, referring to it as the 'DOS prompt' will get you strung and quartered. [01:23] yikes [01:23] storbeck: that's what i thought but I assumed sudo gave me that access [01:23] hahha [01:23] mikeshollen: move your script to /etc/init.d/ then run update-rc.d yourscript defaults [01:23] ok my bad :P [01:24] err, sudo update-rc.d yourscript defaults [01:25] anyone of you guys use winefish? I wonder if the spell check can also do highlighting [01:25] storbeck: i don't think I fully understand, i don't have a script file. The last time I did this, i used sudo nautilus and displayed the rclocal file then just typed the 3 lines in there. I don't know how else to do this. [01:25] it said that it couldn't find package flashplayer-nonfree [01:26] mikeshollen: PM me the three commands you want run [01:27] Someone knows where the usplash messages come from? I removed the parameter "quiet" from defoptions ind menu.lst. I searched through all the /etc/init.d/ scripts but couldnt find these messages printed. [01:27] <_VIM_> storbeck: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124511/ [01:28] Ok, so I'm having my ubuntu server running an ftp server [01:28] is it sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree or [01:28] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [01:28] and have created a user, who's home directory is /var/www/ [01:28] when I upload files via ftp, I have to manually chmod everything [01:28] <_VIM_> !enter | nbenton [01:28] nbenton: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:28] for exmaple, I have to chmod index.html for it to be viewed publicly. [01:28] !server | nbenton [01:28] nbenton: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html - Use the #ubuntu-server channel for support [01:29] I'm running 8.04 with 2.4 single core processor, 2gigs of ram, and an nvidia 256MB video card but the system seems to be running slow even with no visual effects. windows tend to tear when dragged and the processor jumps to 100% often for single programs. I've tried to minimize the amount of services running but it still seems slow. Can anyone help with or suggest ways to improve performance? [01:29] How can I set up the server so that I don't have to manually chmod every little file? [01:30] nbenton: you'll have to consult the documentation of the specific ftp daemon that you're running [01:30] I don't think it has to do with the ftp dameon, I think it has something to do with the chmodding of the /var/www/ folder, no? [01:30] anyone of you guys use winefish? I wonder if the spell check can also do highlighting [01:30] nbenton, tell us the problem you're having, first. [01:31] <_VIM_> he did, but he took 6 lines to explain the problem Huufarted [01:31] nbenton: based specifically upon what you've said so far, the ftp daemon is controlling the attributes of /var/www/ [01:31] plz help! i need flashplayer & tried this >> sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree [01:31] but it didn't work [01:31] For example, when I ftp into /var/www/, if I upload a file, let's say "index.html", when going to my servers address, I get a denied permissions. The problem being, I have to manually chmod index.html [01:31] _VIM_, whoops [01:31] Chymera1: repeating every few seconds will not help. Why not wait 10 minutes until new people are around to ask? [01:31] nbenton, what WERE the permissions on index.html? [01:31] I have just set up AWN on Hardy and installed the ubuntustudio theme, how do I make the "Cube 3D" effect ? (what are the keyboard keys to do it) [01:31] It said that it couldn't find package flashplayer-nonfree [01:32] nbenton: no, that's a solution, not a problem [01:32] Huufarted, xxx [01:32] <_VIM_> !ccsm | sparebit [01:32] diztract, try flashplugin-nonfree. I forget the exact name [01:32] sparebit: 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 [01:32] Gnea, my question is, how can I set it up so I don't have to manually chmod every single file I upload? :P [01:32] nbenton, xxx? It needs to be 644... [01:32] nbenton: xxx is impossible. perhaps you meant ---x--x--x? [01:32] Gnea, yes... [01:32] thanks VIM [01:32] gnea, my thoughts exactly [01:32] !flashplayer [01:32] 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 [01:32] nbenton, that's your problem [01:33] I have installed the compizcongif-settings-manager [01:33] nbenton, it is not a script so it should not be executable. And with no read nobody can read it. How did it get to 111 permissions? [01:33] mcphail: yeah, I'm sure everybody sits the whole time in front of the screen and scrolls the logs :-| [01:33] and enabled the items .. how do i "see" it work though ? [01:33] nbenton: and, as I answered already, your ftp daemon controls how the file lands on the filesystem. therefore, the documentation for that daemon will likely explain what steps you need to take in order to solve the problem. what ftp daemon are you using? [01:33] _VIM_: 1 sec [01:34] Gnea, I have a suspicion they were changed manually [01:34] <_VIM_> sparebit System > Preferences > CompizConfig Settings Manager [01:34] Gnea, vsftpd === max is now known as Guest15195 [01:34] <_VIM_> storbeck: no hurry [01:34] nbenton, how did they get to ---x--x--x? [01:34] vsftpd is a good ftp daemon [01:34] thanks _VIM [01:34] <_VIM_> np [01:34] Chymera1: for what it's worth, I don't use that package. But vim can spellcheck and highlight tex files quite nicely... [01:34] <_VIM_> and SSH is safer than FTP :P [01:34] nbenton, did you save the files directly on the server or did you FTP them to the server? [01:34] Today, i put three home computer on ubuntu 8.04 at home. I have one more i would love to change over, does ubuntu do IPOD easy? [01:34] Huufarted, it just happens when I upload it via ftp through the user account I created to be assigned to /var/www/ as their home directory [01:35] ok this is probably a dumb question, but if my drive is a DVD RW it is a given that it will burn CD-R correct? [01:35] nbenton: ah, then it has the ability to set the permissions correctly, please look in /usr/share/doc/vsftpd/ and check the manpage for vsftpd.conf [01:35] Huufarted, ftped them [01:35] there's no place like Kernel Panic [01:35] gotcha, nbenton. You need to look for the 'umask' variable with vsftpd. If I wasn't about to kill Gluth, I'd go into more detail. [01:35] Gnea, thank you. I really appreciate it, you too, Huufarted === zul_ is now known as zul [01:35] Hi! I am using 8.04 on an acer 5335. Everytime I try to play a DVD, or an AVI file, or use cheese, my computer totally crashes and I have to reboot. I am not sure if I have all the codecs or not, or why its doing it. any ideas?: [01:35] nbenton, edit /etc/vsftpd.conf and look for the umask setting. I recommend 022 [01:35] mcphail: yeah, I used both vim and gvim, they look a little bit too edgy for me, I'm fairly sure spellcheck should work properly with winefish [01:35] maybe I forgot smth [01:35] Thank you, Huufarted [01:36] nbenton: what Huufarted said [01:36] I reinstalled the whole Ubuntu and it took some time, but eventually it locked again [01:36] Is there away to setup a hardlink between my vista partion mymusic folder and music folder in ubuntu [01:36] I think it's call LN [01:36] but not sure how to use it === sanjud is now known as n8tuser [01:36] _VIM_: http://pastebin.com/d30ed279 [01:37] <_VIM_> gotta learn VI some time or at least Nano, at least a few times a year you gonna have no GUI, what you gonna do then? [01:37] <_VIM_> ok storbeck [01:37] hmw, locked again, this time with a fresh install (without updates) [01:37] ASUSBlue: you'd have to mount the partition using samba/cifs on the ubuntu system, then make a symbolic link [01:37] whats the command of terminal to know my ip adress [01:37] fidelitysystem_, ifconfig [01:37] ASUSBlue: you can't hardlink between different partitions [01:37] fidelitysystem_, ifconfig [01:37] Is there away to setup a hardlink between my vista partition mymusic folder and music folder in ubuntu I want to be able to just click on music in ubuntu and it just bring up all my music === Album is now known as Album|Awy [01:38] !repeat | ASUSBlue [01:38] ASUSBlue: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[01:39] because the stupid ip dont understand [01:39] can i setup a symbolic link [01:39] I am going the route of using it without changing anything on my computer first [01:39] fidelitysystem_: You need to forward the ports from your router to your computer. [01:40] fidelitysystem_, calm down, dude. Don't get all ticked off... [01:40] fidelitysystem_ -> he understand english only [01:40] !porforward | fidelitysystem_ [01:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about porforward [01:40] !portforward | fidelitysystem_ [01:40] fidelitysystem_: For instructions on how to set up port-forwarding (for games, torrents, webservers) see http://portforward.com - also see !firewall [01:40] ASUSBlue: I do believe I've already answered your question.

[01:40] ASUSBlue: you'd have to mount the partition using samba/cifs on the ubuntu system, then make a symbolic link [01:40] it** [01:40] i dont get why dont works.. [01:40] fidelitysystem_ -> did you ask nicely or where you rude? [01:40] ASUSBlue, move your mouse to either the windows partition or the Ubuntu partition, then mount the vista partition in Ubuntu or use a driver for ext3 in vista to access your ubuntu partition [01:40] I'm using the Acer Aspire 6930 Laptop and most people have said the built in mic for some reason doesn't work with Linux, noone is sure why [01:40] I have set it up with auto mount already [01:40] s/mouse/music/ [01:40] fidelitysystem_, if you want the public ipaddress just type in the terminal "links checkip.dyndns.org" [01:41] <_VIM_> storbeck: so far it keeps asking me for root's pass [01:41] fidelitysystem_, that will bring up a text based web browser and that website lists your ip address [01:41] ASUSBlue: and can you browse/load the music already? [01:41] oh [01:41] what you mean [01:41] is there a way to disable keyboard shortcuts for a specific app? i'm trying to make it so that vnc viewer allows me to press alt-tab and alt-f4 within the guest session, instead of my local machine taking the shortcuts [01:41] Anything I do with sudo or gksudo has a segmentation fault error. Any suggestions for fixing this issue? I've been using Ubuntu just fine for so long (about a year). I'm running a 64-bit system [01:41] whenever i try to open an mp3 file directly from a mounted HFS+ (Mac OSX 10.5 Journaled) drive, totem will crash! [01:42] ASUSBlue: you said you were able to automount it - what did you do to get that setup? [01:42] voglster, what is 'links'? [01:42] Takyoji -> what is the exact command you issued? [01:42] modified the fstab [01:42] !links [01:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about links [01:42] whats the quickest way to fix a system that you effed up the sudoers file in? [01:42] ASUSBlue: could you please pastebin it? [01:42] Anything. Such as 'sudo sleep 1', 'sudo apt-get install (whatever)', 'sudo echo' [01:43] voglster -> boot in livecd and fixed it from there [01:43] all results in a segmentation fault in the CLI [01:43] voglster: boot a livecd, mount the filesystem, edit the file, save it, unmount the fs, reboot [01:43] <_VIM_> storbeck: http://pastebin.com/d6630cb8d [01:43] booo... i dont wanna reboot my server! lol [01:43] but thank you [01:43] :) [01:43] all i did was edit the darn file and forgot to set permissions back to 0440 [01:43] whenever i log in i get a loud beeping noise that persists from the second i hit enter to the second the desktop picture shows up. [01:44] /dev/sda2 /media/Vista64 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 Gnea [01:44] Takyoji -> umm.. how about sudo -i what does that do? [01:44] _VIM_: do a chmod 644 /home/eseven73/.gvfs and try it again [01:44] <_VIM_> k [01:44] !who | Takyoji [01:44] Takyoji: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:44] somebody know about vnc ? [01:44] Gnea not sure if you got that [01:45] <_VIM_> chmod: cannot access `/home/eseven73/.gvfs/': Permission denied [01:45] n8tuser: Just another segmentation fault [01:45] Oh, it's a folder [01:45] <_VIM_> ah [01:45] ASUSBlue: hrm, okay [01:45] can mouse sensitivity be adjusted with Xorg? [01:45] ASUSBlue: where do you want to make the link to? [01:45] do a, sudo chmod 755 /home/eseven73/.gvfs [01:45] ASUSBlue: I think you are doing roughly the same thing I am. you have a previous OS installed onto another partition, and are trying to play teh music from it? [01:45] Takyoji -> after a fresh reboot, you get same results? [01:45] is ubuntu bleeding edge? [01:45] I shall try. One moment [01:45] ma3x: Ubuntu is just a distro [01:46] <_VIM_> same thing storbeck [01:46] I want to link the music folder in vista partition to the music folder in ubuntu [01:46] ma3x: no - stable [01:46] n8tuser: I shall try.

[01:46] I want to click music folder in ubuntu and see all my music [01:46] not have to setup a link then click on it then see music [01:46] <_VIM_> islan: it runs very well in a VM on Ubuntu [01:46] ASUSBlue: yeah I want to do that, but whenever i do that, totem crashes when it tries to play my music!!! [01:46] ok in case anyone have the same problem i have with flashplayers, I figured out the problem. I already have flashplayer, but it was blocked by a firefox add-on called flashblock.

[01:47] n8tuser: I'm sorry? [01:47] <_VIM_> islan: Virtualbox [01:47] island i dont understand your question [01:47] does ubuntu have stable testing and unstable? [01:47] ASUSBlue: or whatever the dir is on the vista partition [01:47] yeah but thats no exactly what iam lookin for [01:47] thanks [01:47] * islan gets to work [01:47] oh wow ubuntu is loading for the first time on my computer [01:47] ma3x yes it does, kindly visity #ubuntu-motu [01:47] ma3x: not really [01:47] what are the differences between ubuntu and ubuntu server?

Current stable = 8.10, current beta - 9.04 [01:48] <_VIM_> storbeck: http://pastebin.com/m4bb6f966 [01:48] ubuntu server is for servers [01:48] mrUnagi: preinstalled packages [01:48] <_VIM_> islan: np :) [01:48] yeah [01:48] ma3x: you can use the development version if you want "bleedin edge", although that sometimes == "brolen" [01:48] how can i see which ones are installed on server so that i can turn ubuntu into server [01:48] and support length [01:48] *broken [01:48] it just froze...again [01:48] _VIM_: Is anything even in that folder? [01:49] mrUnagi: the metapackage ubuntu-server [01:49] <_VIM_> ill check [01:49] whats that [01:49] Gnea you rock it works thanks [01:49] ASUSBlue: cheers :) [01:49] mrUnagi -> customize to your needs, not copy what another server has [01:49] maybe its still loading I don't know [01:49] what's the code name for stable/testing/unst ? [01:49] mrUnagi: a .. package without any files, only dependencies [01:49] can ubuntu do vpn connections? [01:49] <_VIM_> storbeck: nope [01:49] !vpn [01:49] pfft, rm -rf that sucker [01:49] From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [01:49] mrUnagi: the desktop version installs the ubuntu-desktop meta-package [01:49] Oh hey guys [01:49] <_VIM_> ok [01:50] All this freezing up and stuff maybe its just not worth me getting ubuntu [01:50] what is the name of that program that displays system resources on the desktop yet uses very little itself? [01:50] mrUnagi -> come to think of it, run .. [01:50] i basically want to turn my ps3 into a gateway server that i can use to access my network when im away.......is that possible?

[01:50] sudo apt-get install conky [01:50] <[2]PC_Nerd> Hi, I know this is #ubuntu not ##windows, however windows cannot (will not) see a network card that ubuntu is loading fine on startup. I made no tinkering's with teh hardware simply reformatted teh disc and reinstalled XP pro - and now for some reason only linux finds the network card... any suggestions? [01:50] Gnea: what? [01:51] Charitwo: can you choose which one you want to install when you install it from the cd? [01:51] [2]PC_Nerd: Don't use Windows, that's my suggestion :) [01:51] storbeck, Huufarted, thank you. is it in synaptic? [01:51] ma3x, Charliehorse: stable = hardy heron (8.04), testing = intrepid ibex (8.10), unstable = jaunty (9.04) [01:51] <_VIM_> storbeck: i cant even remove it with sudo rm -rf /home/eseven73/.gvfs [01:51] n8tuser: Same issue. Segmentation fault even after reboot. [01:51] yes, JPSman [01:51] Charliehorse: stable is always LTS [01:51] Charitwo: also can you use stable/unstable/testing instead of the codenames in /etc/apt/sources.list ? [01:51] lol _VIM_ [01:51] <[2]PC_Nerd> I completely agree - accept the course im doing says I HAVE to use vb6 and pascal :P - otherwise itd be python all the way [01:51] ma3x: no - this is not debian [01:51] That folder is the devil [01:52] Takyoji -> you have updated any package at all before you noticed this? [01:52] <_VIM_> storbeck: i might have to start up a live cd and remove it, or would that fail too? [01:52] That should work [01:52] <_VIM_> k [01:52] I really don't know why it won't uninstall though [01:52] ma3x: the ubuntu release philosophy is different from debian's [01:52] err, remove* === UAngo is now known as BunneeWabbit [01:52] Gnea: oh. :) when I downloaded it it just said "latest version" not testing. I'm still a linux newbiw [01:52] ma3x: no, you have to use the names [01:52] ma3x: it's rude to ping random people [01:53] how can I get help on installing themes with emerald? [01:53] Charliehorse: it's all good :) === BunneeWabbit is now known as BunnaeWabbit [01:53] Charitwo: what the hell are yo utalking about? [01:53] i didnt ping you [01:53] ma3x, watch the language [01:53] yes, you did [01:53] ma3x: tone down the attitude, please... [01:53] no i didnt === vitor is now known as lancelot [01:53] <_VIM_> storbeck: OMG It shows up in Krusader as a 16 gig file! === lancelot is now known as Lancelotax [01:53] _VIM_: try logging out and running it from ctrl+alt+f1 [01:53] Hi! I am using 8.04 on an acer 5335. Everytime I try to play a DVD, or an AVI file, or use cheese, my computer totally crashes and I have to reboot. I am not sure if I have all the codecs or not, or why its doing it. any ideas? [01:54] <_VIM_> its a file system of some sort [01:54] :p [01:54] Gnea: do you know anything about accessing a mac osx journaled partition from ubuntu? I can mount it, and copy files but If I try to directly launch an mp3/mov file, it will not work. Why? [01:54] what's the ubuntu philosophy so different than debians? ubuntu is debian based we all know that [01:54] ma3x, take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:54] Oh, wow [01:54] n8tuser: I don't recall installing an update for sudo, but otherwise I noticed this issue after: I added a new printer using the web-based CUPS interrface (that was shared over SAMBA) by manually writing out the URI, then as I added it, I had an issue and apparently Firefox wasn't able to reach the web-based interface anymore, all printers were gone, I restarted, and the printers were back, then later on in the day I noticed this [01:54] Charliehorse: I'm not sure, never done that before... what protocol are you using? [01:54] Don't remove .gvfs [01:54] <_VIM_> lol [01:54] <_r1_> hi [01:54] GVFS [1] is a replacement for GnomeVFS, [2] the GNOME Virtual File System. [01:54] Gnea: htfsplus [01:55] <_VIM_> i formated this drive to ext3, donno where i got gvfs === Sam_IRC_ is now known as Sam_IRC [01:55] Gnea: here i'll pastebin the error from terminal that i get [01:55] <_VIM_> O.o [01:55] lol, ok. 1 more sec [01:55] * presshere rauchen [01:55] ma3x: because 'based on' has a different meaning with ubuntu than what you're thinking. [01:55] Charliehorse: okay [01:55] <_VIM_> Ive never heard of the Gnome Virtual File system before, new one on me, storbeck [01:55] it's a derivative of Debian. Lots of differences, though. [01:56] <_r1_> just after a pvresize, I want reduce the partition used for this physical volume. Any idea ? (parted or cfdisk provide me only a "destroy") [01:56] those are the times when I start to consider gentoo and etc [01:56] _rl_ use a gparted live cd [01:56] Gnea: here is the error when i ran "totem musicfile from hfsplus drive" http://www.mibbit.com/pb/Dw7V0k [01:56] Xamusk, portage is soo nice [01:56] Takyoji -> if you can try strace or ltrace to start sudo and see where it fails.. see if that gives any clue [01:56] <_r1_> Huufarted: gparted livecd allows to resize lvm partition ? [01:57] the only thing that Ubuntu and Debian share in common is the package management system. Everything else is different, although, once in awhile, some packages will just be re-packaged debian software, but it will often be in-line with the Ubuntu structure [01:57] <_r1_> Huufarted: great thanks (good to know) [01:57] _rl_ allows you to resize, remove, do anything you want [01:57] n8tuser: Shall I provide the output to you via pastebin, or? [01:57] _VIM_: try adding the folowing to the tar line for /home --exclude /home/eseven73/.gvfs [01:57] <_VIM_> Gparted can easily remove LVM partitions I did that very thing a few days ago [01:57] <_VIM_> ok [01:57] Takyoji -> that would be huge, umm try to read it yourself and see if you can make sense out of it..whre it fails [01:57] I'm not sure if that will work or not, but hopefully it will [01:58] Charliehorse: what if you use a different player, such as mpg123? [01:58] ok... I just installed corky, but now I can't find it in any menus. Where is the default menu location for corky? [01:58] i'm looking for the k10temp or amdtemp module/driver... anyone know what the status is on this and/or where i can find it? [01:58] Gnea: VLC, also brings an error [01:58] n8tuser: It's actually about like 40 lines [01:58] Charliehorse: did you fstab it? [01:59] Takyoji -> go ahead and post it in pastebin.. [01:59] Gnea: ? Sorry i'm a linux newbie [01:59] !fstab [01:59] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [01:59] if I have Ubuntu installed on one hard drive and I want to install WinXP on another hard drive, will there be any problem? [01:59] n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/d29a62374 [01:59] <_r1_> Huufarted: mmmm Gparted LiveCD documentation says that it does not handle LVM [01:59] Charliehorse: what I meant was, did you make the remount mount permanent in the /etc/fstab file? :) [01:59] _rl_ sorry, out of my league then [01:59] <_r1_> so somebody has any Idea ? [01:59] <_VIM_> storbeck: like this: sudo tar -cf "/tmp/home.tar" /home --exclude /home/eseven73/.gvfs? === [2]PC_Nerd is now known as PC_Nerd [02:00] yep [02:00] voglster, I tremble just of having to compile everything, also last time I checked it was pretty hard to install (specially coming from a debian/ubuntu world) [02:00] Gnea: i just have a line in my .bash_login file that mounts the drive to a directory. [02:00] Charliehorse: and what is the line? [02:01] Xamusk, not horribly difficult... and you should do it at least once... taught me SOOO much about linux and how everything works.. just make sure you set aside a day or two for your first time installing [02:01] _r1_ -> it cant from livecd from what I understood [02:01] Gnea: sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda2 'home/evantandersen/macbook/' [02:01] Takyoji -> i cant click that, is that a valid url [02:01] ? [02:02] voglster, not the time I have around... and won't guarantee that won't happen the same panics I have with ubuntu [02:02] Xamusk, use genkernel first [02:02] <_VIM_> storbeck: http://pastebin.com/m24bac3cc [02:02] I am still having trouble with the resolution...the weird thing is that during the cylone ubuntu screen it is perfect and then changes to 800x600 when the desktop starts up...help?? [02:02] Charliehorse: oooh, okay - I wasn't sure if you were mounting it locally or across the network :) one sec.. [02:02] Takyoji -> i cant click that, is that a valid url? [02:02] Xamusk, makes your life soo much easier to get a bootable system before ou start configuring your true kernel [02:02] <_r1_> n8tuser: what you mean ? which Livecd ? [02:02] arg [02:02] voglster, ??? [02:02] Are you still using dev=4,0,0 ? [02:02] <_VIM_> yeah [02:03] Bump re: the networkign card in windows.... any ideas on how to debug? [02:03] _r1_, http://evms.sourceforge.net/ [02:03] Gnea: yeah sorry for not making that clear [02:03] hello world [02:03] _r1_ -> you can run lvm repair from within livecd ? [02:03] Xamusk, genkernel makes your first boot alot safer ;-) [02:03] Well that doesn't make sense [02:03] n8tuser: It is a valid URL, I don't see why it's not accessible.. [02:03] It started to write before [02:03] <_VIM_> storbeck: actually no [02:03] <_VIM_> sudo dvdrecord speed=4 dev=2,0 "/tmp/backup-$(date +%m%Y).tar" [02:03] <_r1_> n8tuser: nothing to do with "repair" [02:03] Takyoji -> repaste the url..i was not able to [02:03] n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/d29a62374 [02:03] Change it to dev=4,0,0 :) [02:04] <_VIM_> ok [02:04] voglster, I'd hate to lose my home partition, so I'm usually a lot cautious about that stuff [02:04] <_r1_> zomby_woof: I watch [02:04] Charliehorse: no problem, everyone's a noob at some point ;) [02:05] <_r1_> zomby_woof: it's another technology right ? [02:05] Xamusk, u got in on a separate partition? [02:05] voglster, I'm not a newbie to kernel compilation, but ubuntu makes instalation quite smooth, specially about drivers [02:05] Charliehorse: okay, let's see if there are any FS errors when you try to play it - can you pastebin the output of the dmesg command? i would suggest installing the pastebinit package in order to make it easier, like this: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dmesg | pastebinit [02:05] voglster, yes, but I've lost files with kernel problems more than once [02:05] !vpn [02:05] From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [02:06] sorry about the repeat, this'll be the last time: if I have Ubuntu installed on one hard drive and I want to install WinXP on another hard drive, will there be any problem? [02:06] islan, install windows first [02:06] islan, then you dont have to fix grub [02:06] _VIM_: also, add the -dao in there after the dev [02:06] what's the difference between ubuntu desktop and server ? [02:06] _r1_, it will allow you to resize lvm [02:06] voglster: well I have the problem that the linux OS has all my backed-up files [02:06] islan, and put windows on the first drive [02:06] voglster: is it easy to fix grub? [02:06] Gnea: k i installed it, now what is the command? [02:06] my conky keeps opening up into a window! how do I merge it with the desktop? [02:07] islan, ya not too hard [02:07] voglster: then I'll have to do that; is there anything else I should be worried about? [02:07] islan, but windows will destroy the bootloader so you gotta boot to a livecd to do it [02:07] mrUnagi: I'm sorry, I've tried to get them to change the vpn link there, but they haven't listened... check this out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [02:07] JPSman: in your ~/.conkyrc change one of the lines to: own_window no [02:07] voglster: ah, okay [02:07] Huufarted, your suggestion worked. [02:07] Charliehorse: dmesg | pastebinit [02:07] hi, I downloaded icecat and unzipped to home, how can I add it to the path? [02:07] Takyoji -> whats the perms of /usr/bin/sudo ? [02:07] <_r1_> zomby_woof: ok (I still don't want resize lvm but thanks) [02:07] too bad, I really liked ubuntu [02:07] * islan searches the net for how to fix grub [02:07] islan, no not really.. and there are plenty of howtos on google for fixing/reinstalling grub [02:07] what's the difference between ubuntu desktop and server ? [02:08] islan, google is your friend there... [02:08] voglster: indeed [02:08] [02:08] <_r1_> [02:08] deco_, just packages [02:08] is there a way to rerun the xconfiguration scripts....dkpg....something....

[02:28] if i tar as superuser from root like tar the whole system to a backup drive will i be able to restore it easily ... i mean is that a safe backup ... how can i recover a pc from a simple tar archive of the whole system from root (anyone)? [02:28] presshere: just a moment, lemme see what's available [02:28] does anyone happen to know how to update the usplash themes from the old version to intrepid? i know that some of the theme artists have put out updates for intrepid but not many at all. i don't really want to install splashy as a work around.?? [02:28] ubooboo: hmmm, Im probably the wrong person to ask. I suck at this stuff. maybe try deleting your xorg.conf file? I thought xorg was supposed to autoconfigure. BUT, the last time I had this problem, was because I had a bad cd burn, so I ended up having to reinstall [02:28] nomiculus: Yes [02:28] ok [02:28] demachina: sudo apt-get update [02:28] aSt3raL -> lets step back.. post in pastebin.. ifconfig; iwconfig; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/resolv.conf [02:29] nomiculus, my recommendation is to make a g4l live cd and back it up that way [02:29] What's the difference between 64 and 32 bit OSes? [02:29] gnea: i have to go, thanks for the great help, Like really thanks a lot. Its good to see someone that cares that much [02:29] nomiculus: When you uncompress it, just use -r [02:29] i prefer to use tar [02:29] nomiculus, you'll have to be booted into livecd to tar the root filesystem [02:29] !x86-x64 | iShock [02:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about x86-x64 [02:29] nomiculus, try partimage [02:29] how would i install a system from a tar archive (of root, downwards) onto a new pc [02:29] nomiculus, it does use tar, but it also compresses it and allows you to save it over a network, but your choice... [02:29] presshere: updating [02:29] err, not -r [02:29] use -p to preserve the permissions [02:29] <_VIM_> storbeck: dvdrecord: No such file or directory. No read access for 'tmp/backup-022009.tar'. [02:30] (when uncompressing) [02:30] nomiculus, format, mount it. cd / && sudo tar -xvf tarfile.tar.gz [02:30] demachina: then reboot [02:30] bah! [02:30] ty usser ty [02:30] nomiculus, but you'll have to install grub manually [02:30] _VIM_: do you have a slash in front of /tmp ? [02:30] gotcha usser [02:30] no worries..... [02:30] nomiculus, ie sudo grub-install --root-directory /where/you/mounted /dev/partname [02:30] nomiculus, ie sudo grub-install --root-directory=/where/you/mounted /dev/partname sorry [02:30] yep storbeck [02:31] sounds good that means i can boot from one machine into another drive excellent ... [02:31] oh wait [02:31] it didnt LOL sorry [02:31] hehe [02:31] stupid vim error [02:31] What's the difference between 64 and 32 bit OSes? [02:31] eseven73: At least we're getting closer :D [02:31] me of all people having vim probs [02:31] iShock: one uses 32bit and one uses 64bit [02:31] i tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg...no luck.. :) [02:31] the difference is in the address width of the processor ishock [02:32] the address bus [02:32] ubooboo: did you try deleting xorg.conf? [02:32] 64 bit can address far much more memory than 32 bit [02:32] in fact twice as much [02:32] ubooboo: or moving it, just to be safe I suppose [02:32] not yet...do i have to restart after that I guess. [02:32] nomiculus: twice as much? [02:32] yes an [02:33] 64 bit is like a myth man [02:33] its just about addressing [02:33] no software now needs anything more than 32 bit [02:33] presshere: now "downloading and installing driver" is stuck at 0% [02:33] nomiculus: 33bit addressing will access twice as much memory as 32bit :p [02:33] Anyone know how I can disable pulseaudio system wide? [02:33] Does Ubuntu with Wubi install as 64 bit if it is at all possible? [02:33] iShock: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit [02:33] i agree danbhfive [02:33] demachina: did you reboot?

[03:33] kreino: You dual boot you mean with windows on an ntfs partition? [03:33] kreino, if you have vista - the vista tools can 'shrink' a ntfs partition much faster then linux can. [03:33] <_VIM_> sheena1: that's kind of offtopic for here [03:33] kreino, and last i tried it it was like vista taking 20 sec.. vs linux taking 3+ hrs.. to resize a ntfs down a few gb. Ive no idea how vista does it so fast. [03:33] _vim_: is there somewhere it's more on topic? I'm confident it's a setting somewhere in my ubuntu stuff, rather than a firefox issue, but i could be wrong. [03:34] sheena1: have you installed all the codecs and flashplugin and all that? [03:34] Hi, is 512 MB enough of a hard drive with 512 MB RAM and 266 CPU for a XFCE core with Gnome games and KDE games installed? [03:34] hello there, i am having issues real player, i can't listen to radio streaming, because there is no sound! [03:35] sheena1: ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:35] hey somebody recommend a program to connect to linux in my computer windows [03:35] emma: yes, and it worked fine two days ago, i don't even know that i've updated since then. any chance rebooting might cure it? [03:35] and mplayer does not recognize ram files [03:35] <_VIM_> sheena1: ah ok so it's a flash issue then, I was thinking something different by "online Video" ummm don't ask. [03:35] but not the terminal i wants to connect to the desktop .. [03:35] please [03:35] hola [03:35] sheena1: yeah always possible.

[03:36] _vim_: I won't ask. sorry if i gave you a different idea [03:36] Or do I need to upgrade something [03:36] donde estoy ??? [03:36] !es > shune [03:36] fidelitysystem, vnc is handy, or you can install xming on the windows box, and ssh/putty to the linux box and have X apps appear on the windiows desktop that way [03:36] shune, please see my private message [03:36] emma: i'm going to reboot now. If it's not cured, i'll be right back! thanks! [03:36] <_VIM_> sheena1: hehe [03:37] dr_Wills my computer have that [03:37] but i only see terminal [03:37] Hi, I need to know if, is 512 MB enough of a hard drive with 512 MB RAM and 266 CPU for a XFCE core with Gnome games and KDE games installed? [03:37] how i can connect to desktop cos im connecting but i see terminal only [03:37] I'm not any kind of linux expert and I don't consider 'turn it off and back on' really great advice, though that does fix my own audio problems quite often. === Co_27_Ehem is now known as Co_melodic [03:37] aleX-xx, 512mb hard drive.. ? thats a bit tiny. [03:38] <_VIM_> that's kind of stretching things a bit aleX-xx [03:38] Too tiny do you think for XFCE-Core, Gnome-Games, KDE-Games, Firefox and nothing else [03:38] aleX-xx, tjhat low end of a system - you might want to check out PuppyLinux, or TinyCoreLinux, ive installed ubuntu on a Pent 1 100, with 6gb hd.. and it worked. [03:39] emma, yeah, i deal with the audio problem(s) too, i think it has something to do w/hal, i have two audio cards, and they get their identities switched once in a while upon bootup [03:39] aleX-xx, those games will be way more then 512mb. [03:39] hi [03:39] <_VIM_> yeah go for Puppy or one of it's derivitives [03:39] rdw200169: seems to happen to me after i have been listening to youtube videos too much. [03:39] emma, i get the same thing with mice, consequentially... [03:39] kon [03:39] I can expand it to 1GB of HD space if that is enough [03:40] emma, that's interesting.. perhaps it has something to with pulseaudio... hmm.. for flash, i remember i edited some file to give it pulseaudio support, then i set up alsa with the default pointing to pulseaudio so alsa apps worked right [03:40] !gmount [03:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about gmount [03:40] Alex_21, you could get a 8gb thumbdrive for like $20 and use a puppy live cd to boot. :) and have the system all on the thumbdrive also... [03:40] 1gb of hd.. would be tight. you will want a few mb of swap space at least. [03:41] My biggest thumb drive is 1 GB at the moment if that will do [03:41] rdw200169: yeah but Hardy just killed me with pulseaudio/flash, intrepid has been much more stable that way, only now and then does the audio go out and the easiest way to get it back is reboot. [03:41] where can i download opengl headers for programming? [03:41] emma, i still use hardy. i just get random firefox crashes when the sound doesn't initialize right w/flash [03:42] I'm using an Apple HD [03:42] Yep that's it. [03:42] keres, sudo apt-get install libglut3-dev [03:42] keres, and libglut3 [03:42] usser: thanks! [03:42] emma, i generally have a 80% success rate w/sound+flash+firefox... the other 20% is a crash of firefox but sound still works [03:42] is there a way to go directly to install instead of having it use the live disk? [03:42] Get the alternate installer cd for that [03:43] can you send me a link [03:43] rdw200169: yeah i recall when using hardy my choices were (1) Either not be able to use youtube and also any other audio device, or vice versa or (2) Have a very unstable firefox when using flash. [03:43] Also, is 266 MHZ a little tight or will that do what I want with 512 MB or so of RAM [03:43] usser: ok. when doing a #include, is it , right? [03:43] keres, actually, freeglut3 and freeglut3-dev [03:43] emma, is it better w/intrepid? [03:43] rdw200169: yes much. [03:43] usser: i meant in the actual c file, #include === Fizban is now known as Steelflint [03:44] keres, yea that works [03:44] Get the alternate CD by checking the box at download time that states "I need the Alternate CD" or something [03:44] emma, ah, but, does flash work WITH pulseaudio, by default, with no special configuration heck having to take place? [03:44] usser: main.c:20:18: error: glut.h: No such file or directory [03:45] keres, sorry i made a mistake its freeglut3 and freeglut3-dev [03:45] So, because it is a SSD 1GB Apple stick, can I squeeze all the games onto that and will they run OK [03:45] usser: got those [03:45] Also with 266 MHZ and about 512 MB of RAM [03:46] keres, hang on [03:46] keres, /usr/include/GL/glut.h is in freeglut3-dev [03:46] keres, you should have that [03:47] usser: ok. I have #include in my main.c, still not picking up [03:47] I can actually use 512 mb on a seperate HD for swap if need be [03:47] keres, can you do "locate glut.h"? [03:47] keres, does it find it? [03:48] So any ideas about the storage capacity [03:48] usser: yeah it's in /include/ [03:48] I really don't know what I'm doing right now [03:48] I'm over my head with Linux [03:49] keres, how do you compile? [03:49] usser: i don't think this is right : http://pastebin.com/m6e341cfb [03:49] Is there a way for me to restart w/e is running my sound? Pidgin is making weird crackling noises when people sign on or send me messages and MPlayer opens with a totally black screen [03:49] usser: gcc main.c [03:49] usser: should i 'gcc main.c -lgl' or something? [03:49] emma: i'm back. rebooting didnt help, and i can watch some flash but not others.. [03:49] keres, try with that gcc -lGL -lglut -Wall file.c [03:49] sheena1: hmm. [03:49] sheena1: you were watching this same video stream before but not now? [03:50] How can I move the AWN to the right side of my screen?

I could watch the TED videos a few days ago, though [03:51] http://ted.com [03:51] let me see if I can view them [03:51] I have 266 MHZ with 6 GB internal HD which has another OS on it, 1GB HD that can house Ubuntu and another 512 HD at my disposal with 512 mb of RAM [03:51] emma: thanks [03:51] No problem [03:52] I really need some help aranging this setup to install XFCE-core with Gnome-Games and KDE-games [03:52] <_VIM_> Flare183: not sure, last i heard it's not possible to move AWN, have you tried cairo-dock, + a nice cairo theme?

[03:53] <_VIM_> Flare183: i got my cairo looking/acting just like OSX's dock [03:54] sheena1: have you definitely installed ubuntu-restricted-extras ?

[04:49] i reflashed my bios now i can't shut down properly [04:49] sprinkmeier_: in telnet everythigns good but when i type this: RCPT TO: george@71.172.56.21, it says 501 5.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax [04:49] islan, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_User_Group find your local one, usually full of helpful people. === sal is now known as Guest78723 [04:49] i can only get that far [04:50] cpk1: then how to do that? I unmount it but I can still see it... although I can't open the files.. [04:50] sprinkmeier_: and islan (check in your bios for virus protection) sometimes that will make the mbr be read only - either that or some bios have been setup for os install mode on and off ( this can also block the mbr from being written to ) === iMolecule is now known as iMolecule|away [04:50] mib_k83r0z3c, name@IP address is 822, but by default usually disabled as it's usually only used by spammers.

[04:52] JoshuaRL: depending on the model there may actually be a setting on the tv for resize/scale the image -- [04:53] mib_k83r0z3c, not using that address syntax. You could try just "rcpt to: username", and it should deliver to the local account by that name. All depends on how postfix is configured. [04:53] sprinkmeier_: hmm idk kind of confusing ill try that now [04:54] cpk1: it always automounts the drive [04:54] JoshuaRL: In the case of my tv there is a zoom -- which makes it go through the modes like - widescreen - squeeze - letterbox - normal - and crop [04:55] old: how? its not in fstab and hopefully nautilus needs admin rights to mount things...

[04:57] either way I dont see why it can just go mounting willy nilly without admin rights [04:57] cpk1: I don't know.... I'm completely new to ubuntu...

So sad, lol [05:00] anyone familiar with traceroute or tracepath?

[05:30] JoshuaRL: they certainly can, but overscan is quite typical as well. [05:30] Anyone in here run eve online? [05:30] Toshiba problems? [05:30] shux: google vlc media player... then follow the install instructions [05:30] cpk1: yes [05:30] JoshuaRL: I had an issue. you might need to use the actual remote control to get to the menu to set the zoom. [05:30] marine1: does it stop with a black screen? [05:30] were are the compilers located on ubuntu? [05:30] rww, it hangs and doesn't do anything yes on my text screen [05:31] rwparris2, /usr/bin [05:31] rww, I see, I can switch to hardy [05:31] rwparris2: apt:build-essential [05:31] sprinkmeier: do you have an idea on my problem? [05:31] rwparris2, if you have to ask that question, you probably need to install build-essential [05:31] i need to somehow set up a firewall to keep people outside of the 192.168.0. range off of port 5583, what's the simplest way? [05:31] rwparris2: in the repositories, like any other package. Install build-essential, to use them. [05:31] shadowh511: not sure what u mean, i have an ubuntu server set up with a mail server running postfix and i try sending an e0mail thorugh gmail and it doesnt go through [05:31] shadowh511, yes because i have it opening and shutting down showing text [05:31] no, I don't need them directly, I need to set a symbolic link for ccache, do I still need install build-essential ? [05:32] islan: ok so by going what you gave me and taking no responsibility i think you want "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/ /dev/sda" === Bruce is now known as Bruceee [05:32] mib...: then I have no clue sorry [05:32] islan: that is part guess =P [05:32] ok thanks anyway [05:32] marine1: okay, so it does the normal shutdown text, then the screen goes blank and it hangs? [05:32] marine1: just hold down the power button, its the hardware [05:32] old, vlc is in the repos, do the sudo apt-get install vlc [05:32] marine1: /me has the same problem XD [05:33] XP* [05:33] islan: actually I guess do ls /boot first too make sure / really is mounted as root, and I am assuming you already have your drive mounted and everything [05:33] cpk1: I might should also note that I'm currently in LiveCD [05:33] islan: ah ok so it isnt mounted? [05:33] rww, thw screen doesn't go lank i can see text but it just hangs [05:33] http://pastebin.com/d1ea537c2 [05:33] can someone who knows about mail servers take a look at it?

What's the last line of text on the screen? [05:34] I need a graphical diskmanager ... something that will let me format and all that disk related junk with out the command line [05:34] islan: so ls /mnt/root/boot has systemmap and what not in there?

[05:35] rww: shadowh511: thank you for the life of me I couldnt remember what it was called [05:35] rww, how do i increase the size of the letters here [05:35] islan: ok so then i think you want "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/root /dev/sda" [05:35] cpk1: for some reason these instructions were telling me to mount another separate partition to /mnt/root/boot, that's where it lost me [05:35] grendal_prime: its usually kos its corrupted, restore it from a backup [05:36] cpk1: okay, I'll give it a try [05:36] marine1: you have to manually change the kernel boot arguments, i wouldn't [05:36] cpk1: it seems to have been a success (though it said the same when I ran grub), so I'll restart and see what happens [05:36] http://pastebin.com/d1ea537c2 anyone got a clue? [05:36] cpk1: thanks [05:36] shadowh511, it shows that it's stopping programs the it just hangs and does nothing [05:37] islan: just pray and it should work [05:37] yay, prayers to the great penguin in the sky!

[05:38] shadowh511, could it be the acpi [05:38] marine1: okay. I'm not seeing any existing bug reports about it, so if you have time, it'd probably be best if you opened one. There's also some possible fixes at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=5193 for general shutdown problems.

[05:53] Trying to test a youtube video [05:53] hunt577: yes [05:53] hunt577: not officially, my best advice is to download flashplayer manually [05:53] hunt577: via multiple plugins [05:53] hmmm how do I do that? [05:53] How do I remove that little ^ on my main menu button? [05:54] hunt577: go to adobe.com and download it for other systems [05:55] hunt577: then extract it, open a terminal, browse to that directory, sudo run it, and then press enter several times [05:55] silleme: well... if you close the "places" pane then you cant see the unmounted drives anymore =P [05:55] are you 32 or 64 bit system? [05:56] 32 bit [05:56] hmmm [05:56] rww, It appears to have installed 3 [05:56] can you open /etc/fstab in kate for me? [05:56] I changed my "start-here" icon and the ^ thing on it looks aweful. Is there any way at all to remove it? [05:56] shadowh511: the only drives(partitions) are the ones I manually placed in fstab... teh non-mounted ones are not listed there... [05:57] brand new newbie to this, what is kate? [05:57] ok cause theres an easy fix for the 64 ubuntu now just place the .so in the plugins folder and voilla [05:57] cpk1: ??huh?? [05:57] ahh [05:57] silleme: its just dolphin then :P [05:57] thanks for trying to help with the nvidia tv-out problem dudes, no dice [05:57] silleme: the reason why the unmounted drives are in dolphin is just to let you know that you have devices that it can mount for you [05:58] cpk1: you can go to unmounted drives from the places menu [05:58] Should I try back later? [05:58] hunt577, if all you want to do is watch youtube then you could always youtube-download them and watch them in VLC [05:58] hunt577: or you can just use apt to install flash... [05:58] sprinkmeier_: it doesn't work anymore these days [05:59] hunt577: downlaod the rpm and convert it with alien (found in the repos) [05:59] Does Deb install it as well [05:59] Adobe.com had me download something called deb [05:59] !flash [05:59] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [05:59] shadowh511: deb is there on adobe site [05:59] hunt577: you dont need to use the deb from adobe just use apt [05:59] cooldduuudde, youtube keep changing it, youtube-dl keep fixing it.... it's an arms-race. Worked last time I tried (a few days ago) [05:59] try now [06:00] where can I get apt? [06:00] Deb didn't do anything [06:00] hunt577: in a terminal type "sudo aptitude install adobe-flashplugin" [06:00] hunt577:you are using ubuntu, right? [06:00] hunt577: see my PM please [06:00] yes [06:01] yes... I would love to hide them from view when opening up the "storage media" bookmark in dolphin... It is less messy for me to see and save files to my few mounted drives. really would rather my unmounted windoze drives (partitions) not show. anyone know how i would get by with hiding these from view?? [06:01] hunt577: after that you will have flash installed, and have used apt at the same time [06:01] hunt577: then you have apt as a free gift with ubuntu [06:01] oh cool [06:01] sillieme: you have MULTIPLE windows installs? [06:02] hunt577: after doing that come back if sound on youtube doesnt work [06:02] hunt577: yeah, theres lots of cool stuff like that packaged in :D [06:02] silleme: right click the drive you dont want to see and select hide [06:03] cooldduuudde, tried 'youtube-dl --title TQ4iIM8Eljc', worked [06:03] Yeah I like the speed [06:03] its pretty speedy and yet I am running it from the CD only [06:03] sprinkmeier_: hmmmm. I'll have to try it then. the firefox plugin atleast doesn't work [06:03] thanks for your help guys I really appreciate it! [06:04] shadowh511: no.. dual boot xp/kubuntu. however, i do have 2 drives that have multiple partitions. 4 for kubuntu use... 3 for wi xp use... [06:04] silleme: in the future consider only having one ntfs drive, the one windows needs to boot and the rest ext3, windows can read write ext3 no problem [06:05] cooldduuudde, I haven't tried the plug-in, I use the command-line utility (just cut-and-paste the you-tube URL (use ' to make sure &s are defused)) [06:05] since when does winblows read ext3 [06:06] spideyman, third-party drivers....

[06:07] spideyman: maybe there was a newer driver before that but the one at fs-driver.org seems to be one of the better ones [06:07] yeah, sorry, buts its the quickest way [06:07] spideyman: technically it read writes ext2 but you only lose out on journaling really [06:08] Im not being an ass Ive never heard of it , allthough never needed it either [06:08] !voicebuntu [06:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about voicebuntu [06:08] hmm [06:08] good evening, all [06:08] Hello, my Ubuntu installation wont boot up anymore so I need to backup the files on that installation from the ubuntu live cd. The problem is, when I try to go into the media/disk/home/Luke, it wont let me because it says "you do not have the permission necessary to view the contents of Luke. So, how do I go in there and get my files back? [06:08] spideyman: oh, well ok, but yeah fs-driver.org has been really effective for me, and its much nicer to use ext instead of fat32 so that way I dont have a file size limit [06:09] Ubuntuu2: open a terminal [06:09] Ubuntuu2, 'sudo su -' in a terminal. then you're root and can copy, tar, scp, whatever the files [06:09] ok [06:09] type in gksu nautilus, then backup your data [06:09] Ubuntuu2, make sure ALL parent directories have EXECUTE permissions across the board. [06:09] hi, I am on hardy , when I tried to man open C function in the shell, it gave me the open command , not the function prototype, where can I get the open function prototype ? thanks [06:09] hello guys [06:09] cpk1: no "hide" option with right click... re: ext3 and windows... i didn't know this... however, I wanted to keep my OSs from seeing ea otehr... therefore xp has main(ntfs), swp, and exe partition. kubuntu set for main (ext3), linux swp, and 2 fat 32 partitions (movie, avis, mp3s) that both xp and linux can shre.that I am able [06:09] Huufarted: how do I do that? [06:10] hengha, 'man -a open' [06:10] Well i learn somethin every day i had no idea winblows could read a linux partition [06:10] spideyman: which windows? [06:10] is there a recursive command to convert FLACs to OGGs and delete the FLACs after the convertion? [06:10] sprinkmeier_: sorry, how do I do that? I' [06:10] spideyman, vanilla windows can't, but as usual third-party stuff comes to the rescue :-) [06:10] I'm a beginner [06:10] Fale: thats a touch one... [06:10] sprinkmeier_: same, still load the Linux User Manual open [06:10] shadowh511: what do you mean? [06:11] tough [06:11] silleme: using dolphin? and using the "places" pane on the left you cant right click the drive and select hide? [06:11] Ubuntuu2, open a terminal (ALT-F2, type in 'xterm' and hit ENTER). [06:11] Ubuntuu2, at the command line: sudo chmod 755 /media && sudo chmod 755 /media/disk && sudo chmod 755 /media/disk/home && sudo chmod 755 /media/disk/home/Luke [06:11] as for the hidig of non-mounted in dolphin... is this possible?? [06:11] Im workin on a triple boot system as we speak installing OSX for the 3rd time [06:11] Ubuntuu2, then type in 'sudo su -' to turn your terminal session into a superuser one. [06:11] HuuFarted: you can use ";" instead of "&&" [06:12] Huufarted, BAD IDEA! Don't change things you're about to back up. [06:12] shadowh511: you mean that there is no way? [06:12] sprinkmeier, it's granting permissions to the parent directories. It's not changing the contents [06:12] i am upgrading ubuntu server and it wants to make these http://dpaste.com/3740/ changes to my grub menu.lst, if I do those changes will my machine be fubared? [06:12] sprinkmeier_: then what? [06:12] Fale: you are gonna need oggconvert :D its in the repos [06:12] Huufarted, you need to mount R/W to do it... best not to do that in the first place (i.e. mount R/O) [06:12] silleme: really the only things you want to keep away from each other is linux away from ntfs and windows away from everything but /home and /media [06:12] Hey guys I am having a few problems getting my NIC to work [06:12] Ubuntuu2, Where are you planning to back the files up to? external drive?

[06:14] hey can someone tell me whether a hp tx2510us will work with ubuntu? [06:14] Can anyone help me out with my little issue? [06:15] I'm thinking about buying it [06:15] funkycat90210: from the program vol_id [06:15] Is there a way that I can copy through scp without having to enter a password I tried with ssh keygen but still have to enter a password [06:15] sprinkmeier_, simplify that: tar cvzf /path/backup.tar.gz /home / [06:15] sprinkmeier_: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive [06:15] Ubuntuu2, TAR will create a compressed tarball which preserves ownership/permissions. I assume the target drive is VFAT (which would nuke permissions). [06:15] Huufarted, are you familiar with Intel nic issues under ubuntu? [06:15] sprinkmeier_: it didnt work [06:16] funkycat90210: thats the id for the hard drive [06:16] Ubuntuu2, If the target media supports you can 'cp --preserve' [06:16] EnriqueI, sorry I'm not [06:16] alright thanks :( [06:16] For some reason my NIC isn't working, but the module is loading [06:16] it works in XP [06:16] and it worked under wubi [06:16] Huufarted, short command-line options are not simpler, just more dangerous :-) if you mis-type something you end up nuking instead of getting an error message. [06:16] Ubuntuu2, did you try / or . as the last argument? [06:16] funkycat90210: looks mostly like it is just updating grub for a new kernel [06:16] lol ok.... sure. [06:16] so true [06:17] Ubuntuu2, (oh, and maybe add a '--verbose' so you can see what it's doing) [06:17] funkycat90210: and switching over to using uuid [06:17] sprinkmeier_: / [06:17] hey can someone tell me whether a hp tx2510us will work with ubuntu? [06:17] shadowh511: with the command "oggenc *.flac -q8" I can convert FLACs to OGG. But this command has two problems: is not recurevly and it keeps the FLACs [06:17] is there an ubuntu kernel channel? [06:17] cpk1: i'm not familiar with UUID so that scares me, how can I verify the UUID? [06:17] Ubuntuu2, my bad... see the line I posted just after that [06:17] mib_k83r0z3c, try checking on google [06:17] sprinkmeier_: ok, add a what? [06:18] cpk1: yes using dolphin... the pane on the left is the "bookmark" area... shows list of icons vertically (top to bottom) : home, storage media, network, root, new bookmark. No right click option to "hide". [06:18] hello room [06:18] !help kernel [06:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about help kernel [06:18] Ubuntuu2, tar --create --verbose --gzip --file ...... [06:18] !kernel [06:18] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [06:18] =\ [06:18] bots suck... [06:18] Is there a way that I can copy through scp without having to enter a password I tried with ssh keygen but still have to enter a password [06:18] !e100e [06:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about e100e [06:19] funkycat90210: not too sure, never wanted to try... but by looking at your pastebin it looks like grub already had the uuid stored if you look at lines 15 and 22 it has uuid and it isnt being added [06:19] paul68, did you distribute the public key? [06:19] paul68, are both computers on a LAN? [06:19] paul68, did you set a password on the generated key? [06:19] Can anyone help me troubleshoot my nic issues? [06:19] sprinkmeier_: yes I did do that but then when testing it I get nothing no didn't use passwrd [06:19] Huuf [06:20] i see the uuid /etc/blkid.tab which points to /dev/sda1 so that should be fine [06:20] silleme: ok so yours is set up a little different than mine, right click on the drive where ever it is and see if it lets you hide it (make sure it is unmounted first) [06:20] cpk1: thanks, so ubuntu's changes look fine [06:20] Huufarted: both machines are on lan [06:20] paul68, permissions on .ssh and .ssh/authorized_keys? sshd is _very_ fussy, use 400 and 600 respectively [06:20] sprinkmeier_: I dont know if its working, theres just a > that came up when I pressed enter [06:21] paul68, you may want to consider another option, such as an nfs share [06:21] :( [06:21] sprinkmeier_: I noticed lol [06:21] Ubuntuu2, you probably copied a ' from my example command-line [06:21] paul68, this would mount the other PC as a directory on the one you're accessing it from permanently if you wanted. [06:21] funkycat90210: I think more interesting is your slash option?... [06:21] sprinkmeier_: and how do I pick what external thing to write it to? [06:21] How do I find what network card I have? [06:21] lspci? [06:21] cpk1: yeah not sure where the heck that comes from! [06:22] Ubuntuu2, where is it mounted? (sorry, gotta go, family taxi service....) [06:22] cpk1: oh it comes from /etc/blkid.tab:/dev/sda1 [06:22] oh [06:22] I have compiz manager installed but how do i change the way windows open and close like clicking the close i want it to burn the current program where do i go for these settings [06:22] Huufarted: so you create a mountpoint and use that as transfer point how do I achieve this [06:22] funkycat90210: that was simple [06:22] yes [06:22] paul68, give me a minute. It does provide a more permanent solution. [06:22] i'm anal because, if this doesn't work, i'll have to drive 2 hours to make it work, thanks for the help [06:23] thanks. Found it [06:23] sprinkmeier_: open compiz config [06:23] Half blind apparently. [06:23] Huufarted: no problem [06:23] paul68, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=249889 [06:23] 82566MM [06:23] how do you pronounce ubuntu? you-bun-too? [06:23] I pronounce it Ooh-Bun-too [06:23] ASUSBlue, System / Preferences / Compiz Manager - then under the Effect section "Minimize Effect" [06:24] sorry ASUSBlue: i meant [06:24] funkycat90210: I know the feeling, although granted I just have to climb down into the basement and drag the machine up to a monitor =P [06:24] Huufarted: back to the reading board thanks [06:25] paul68, by your initial questions, you seemed to be technically inclined so you should be good to go with that forum post [06:25] Zykotic-K9 sorry did not work [06:25] cpk1: nice.. well i rebooted and it worked, whew [06:25] there is no option for that in there [06:25] i have a flash drive so it takes 30 secs to reboot which is nice [06:26] ASUSBlue, did not work? was the "minimize effect" option there? [06:26] i remember when i installed ubuntu before it had custom under visual effects [06:26] that is no longer there [06:26] Yeah it allows me to check it in but there is no option for it [06:26] ASUSBlue: its an installable package now [06:26] like burn or plan [06:27] how can I install a C compiler on a computer that does not have an internet connection? [06:27] the custom option in visual effect [06:27] can anyone tell me if the tx2510's ethernet card is compatible with backtrack i have a list form backtrack but cannot find model of laptop card? [06:27] I browse fullscreen in Firefox. Is there a way to be notified of windows wanting attention while in a fullscreen browser? Such as when a contact messages me in Empathy. [06:27] ASUSBlue, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [06:27] its probably only visible if ccsm is installed [06:27] I aready downloaded gcc, but it requires make. then make requires a C compiler :s [06:27] i have compiz installed though [06:27] danes_: install build-essential package [06:27] !build-essential | danes_ [06:27] danes_: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) === sal is now known as Guest24208 [06:27] yeah the one Zykotic-K9 reccommends is superior to the options found in cssm [06:27] corinth, the programs notify by way of the panels. The panels would have to be displayed. [06:28] ASUSBlue, but to you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed? they are not the same thing. [06:28] corinth, otherwise the programs individually must bring a window to the forefront. [06:28] I was thinking along the lines of an alternative notification package, it was a longshot. Thanks. :-) [06:28] the problem is you can't start with source only, you at least need a binary compiler, that is how whatshisname, put in a trojan horse allowing access to login to any unix system since the compiler he gave everyone had a trojan. [06:28] I find it it hard to believe that Ubuntu won't work out of the box with a common Intel NIC [06:28] letalis, actually that is the options in ccsm [06:29] I have compizconfig-settings manager installed under system prefences [06:29] EnriqueI, it does for me. /shrug [06:29] What nic do you have Huufarted? [06:29] Intel Atom motherboard with on-board NIC. I'd have to look it up. [06:29] unless you can give me the command to find it at the terminal [06:29] lspci | grep Ethernet [06:30] Zykotic-K9: theres nother package you can install that give the custom option in appearance and i cant remember what the packagename is [06:30] I installed ubuntu before I remember that there was a setting but the the compiz manger setting thing that allowed to pick different minimizing effects setting up water and fire under a profile name [06:30] EnriqueI, I stand corrected. Apparently Intel doesn't trust their own NIC chips. It's a Realtek [06:30] ASUSBlue, when you open ccsm does it have an Effects section? [06:30] ASUSBlue: look for something like compizconfig-backend-gnome. threre are 2 utilitities, one "full" and is "simple". the "simple" one gives the option "custom" in the menu. [06:30] I think atom is 10/100 though, so different NIC than what I have =\ but like I said it's lspci | grep Ethernet [06:30] ah [06:30] yes it does [06:31] okay, so now whenever I select Windows XP from my grub menu, it just brings me back to the grub menu [06:31] !82566MM [06:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about 82566MM === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak [06:31] letalis, i'm not sure - i think in older versions of compiz it might have been there by default - not sure [06:31] islan: sounds like the MBR in windows xp may be damaged [06:32] anybody know the key combination to enter unicode in console? [06:32] letalis: I just installed it, and I can still boot Ubuntu [06:32] islan: you installed xp after ubuntu? [06:32] k if you right click on the desktop go to visual effects there should be a custom option there and there is not [06:32] letalis: I installed xp after ubuntu, and then I reinstalled grub via livecd [06:33] now you can access compiz manager from system prefences but thats not what iam looking for [06:33] there should be a list of all the effects for minimizing for opening for closing [06:33] under this one program i just cant remember where i can access it from [06:33] letalis: one weird thing is that fdisk -l tells me that two partitions are labeled as boot (one on each HDD) [06:33] ASUSBlue: i think you need to install package simple-ccsm [06:33] islan: id look through your grub configuration in ubuntu, there may be a problem with how grub detected where the xp partition is [06:34] letalis: the thing is, it didn't. I had to manually insert Windows XP into the menu [06:34] letalis: pro'lly cuz they are on separate HDDs, maybe [06:34] how can i see if my nic is connected to the switch w/ gigabit? [06:34] funkycat90210: the switch should show green [06:35] green = gigabit [06:35] yellow 100mbit [06:35] usually [06:35] EnriqueI: unfortunately i don't have access to the setup to see the color ofthe switch [06:35] right click on the nic plugin [06:35] connection information [06:35] connection speed [06:35] how can i use my verizon wireless aircard in ubuntu? === administrator__ is now known as Qingshan [06:36] (using gnome... not sure how to check via kde) [06:36] Myxb thank you very very much that is what I was looking for [06:36] EnriqueI: this is server so i'll try to find the cmd line vers [06:36] ASUSBlue, go into advanced search in the CCSM window [06:36] ah [06:36] One last question how do i get emerald to work with ubuntu 8.11 64bit [06:36] hmm not sure funkycat90210 [06:36] Sorry [06:36] I installed it and installed a package but it does not do anything [06:36] have any suggestions for me [06:36] ASUSBlue, sorry man I lead you astray - for me it's in Animations - then there are tabs for Open/Close/Minimize - with options like "curved Fold, Fade, Magic Lamp, etc" I always liked Burn and it doesn't seem to be there anymore. [06:37] ASUSBlue: run [06:37] emerald --replace [06:37] ASUSBlue: i was doing the same a couple of days before. they should make it a part of the default install. [06:38] bash question, but there ain't no one there: is there some variables I can stick in a bash script that will return the day, month and year in 2 digits each? [06:38] what does emerald --replace do [06:38] screw it gonna try debian [06:38] ironically I've had better hw support with debian in the past anyway [06:38] Jangari, date is some variable i don't know :) [06:40] could someone tell me why i keep getting "Could not access CD, please make sure other applications are not using it and try again" when trying to install 8.10 inside of windows? [06:40] sorry didn't get that what does emerald --replace do [06:40] Jangari, "date +%F" gives "2009-03-01" close? [06:40] redalpha: are you running yahoo messenger right now? [06:40] ethtool does it [06:40] no [06:41] oh nevermind then [06:41] hmmm [06:41] let me close some application then and try again [06:41] Last question room I installed emerald and installed a theme but it does not do anything seems to be working i have ubuntu 64bit [06:41] okay, I found something that doesn't add up with my grub problem: fdisk -l tells me that Windows is on /dev/sdb1, and grub/device.map tells me that /dev/sdb is hd1; however, when I boot Ubuntu, it says it is booting hd1,0 [06:42] while Ubuntu, according to fdisk -l is suppose on /dev/sda, what grub calls hd0 [06:42] suppose to be* on [06:43] islan, when ubuntu boot the root partition become sda regardless of what drive it's on (i think) [06:43] is there a way to tell why a device might be busy? [06:43] I cannot install build-essential because it asks for make and make is not installed neither a C compiler, what can I do? [06:43] i got jipped, the host has me on a 100Mb/s switch grh [06:43] Zykotic-K9: yes, thanks, actually just managed to get that from the man page [06:43] Zykotic-K9: okay, good to know [06:43] using my BIOS though, booting from either HDD gives me grub, and selecting Windows XP from either just returns me to the menu [06:44] is there a way i can allow someone to have access to my computer via tcp/ip protocols or something similar? I want to create a SVN repos on my machine [06:44] islan, grub gets installed on the MBR and the Bios goes looking for that [06:44] anybody help with installing deb file. When i 'm trying to install it with synaptic manager it says me that i have not permission [06:44] has anybody tried setting up ubuntu via wubi on windows 7 and gotten it to work? [06:45] installed a theme in emerald theme manger but nothing happens any suggestions [06:45] normally i would install ubuntu with booting with the CD, but i've had terrible luck trying to setup dual boot with doing this way...almost always it somehow cause an error on the windows parition and i can not longer boot windows [06:45] could it be a conflict with simpe ccsm or ccsm [06:45] Zykotic-K9: well I'm still stuck being unable to access my Windows partition [06:45] champion, Zykotic-K9, that was all i needed to write a cronjob to download daily my favourite newspaper's crossword [06:45] ASUSBlue: sorry, never tried emerald (it is just a decorator: to get new themes i think). if you ruin the configs, just use the "simple" utility to revert to one of the defaults. or try to remove emerald. [06:46] I'm still getting "Could not access CD, please make sure other applications are not using it and try again" from installing inside windows, does anyone have any other suggestions? [06:46] Myxb but it does not allow to install a theme [06:46] I download a theme i click install it shows [06:46] in the box window but nothing happens [06:46] nothing changes [06:47] anybody help with installing deb file. When i 'm trying to install it with synaptic manager it says me that i have not permission [06:47] Jangari, i've used date for the exact same reason :) had a cron job to download dilbert everyday into a folder using the date as a name. [06:47] ah, totally [06:47] good idea [06:47] I will try a few things here [06:48] and there [06:48] and very useful using those backticks [06:48] redalpha, "sudo dpkg -i .deb" [06:48] anybody help with installing deb file. When i 'm trying to install it with synaptic manager it says me that i have not permission [06:48] hey [06:48] redzheb, "sudo dpkg -i .deb" [06:48] hello [06:48] hi [06:48] is there an HTML editing program for Linux? [06:49] ASUSBlue: sorry, can't help here. to be honest after a new install i set up compiz to my liking and turn it off until next system install/upgrade. i love my system as simple as possible, the compiz is only to impress others. for me [06:49] can anyone hear me? [06:49] like dreamweaver? or frontpage? [06:49] 8.10 amd64 installer barfs 'io error on sr0' and dies [06:49] redalpha: something in windows is locking the cd try outlogging and inlog and try again [06:49] yes kdevelop [06:49] that's a sata cdrom [06:49] redzheb: Launch it using gksu synaptic [06:49] anyone? [06:49] anybody have any ideas for wubi + windows 7? [06:49] uh, please? [06:49] redzheb: what deb are you trying to install [06:49] hmm logging off? okay ill try that [06:49] i don't really know how to use this irc client.... i just got it [06:50] Sativa: bluefish,vim,nvu [06:50] kompozer [06:50] it replaced nvu [06:50] quibbler: i am trying to install oss-linux-4.1-1051_i386.deb [06:50] but me I prefer vim [06:50] why [06:51] redzheb: had you downloaded it from somewhere? [06:51] lemonsarecool: i see [06:51] ASUSBlue: BTW if you later turn off compiz, you have to check all the keyboard short-cuts in gnome. some of them get wipes (usually it is task switching - Alt-Tab) [06:51] just call me lemon [06:52] redzheb, that's probably not a good idea to install oss-linux-4.1-1051_i386.deb, there is an OSS compatibility layer for alsa or pulse which would probably work better....? but don't know why you want to install oss [06:52] lemonsarecool: but then it will be harder for u to see post directed at u [06:52] lemon: see? [06:52] quibbler: yes I have downloaded it in my desktop when i am trying with sudo dpkg -i http://paste.ubuntu.com/124577/ [06:52] no [06:52] o wait [06:52] is there someone called "lemon" here? [06:53] lemon hi [06:53] lemonsarecool: /names [06:53] oh [06:53] pppppp859fpu656'34trfhup9e58t0458t6idf09hguj0r586uj48508yujh89ǵyu569384y5823tgrrrrrrrrrrrrsdjfnklawjmer23iop54y829458y34'9568320u208934u0983uj48342fnm3jy7v3kc59840tdfg7df89ghygy9df9gdf89u8gf8ugfu8u8k8gd8u9gkut34ut4tu8t4u89tu83thjgbjlkxcn vm,x ng,dh,fjgh=?¡()=%/%$yjknghklsdjffasdoiwqje423954 u284534u0635860945u7894u623094edfgi9,dhf [06:53] how can i run a .package file to install somethin? :o cant seem to figure it out :< [06:53] i am working on getting my graphics working corectly but it wont give me more than a couple of choices [06:53] sorry [06:53] lemonsarecool: please do not pm me. [06:53] ok jeez sorry quib === bizkit|not_limp is now known as bizkit [06:53] i tryed to install the ati drivers and they messed up my resolution so i had to use text to uninstall but now i can only go so big [06:53] my gnome is broken [06:54] redzheb, " sudo dpkg -i http://paste.ubuntu.com/124577/" wouldn't work! you'd have to wget the file first [06:54] when i log on it has no panel [06:54] and i can only right-click and change my wallpaper [06:54] what the hell? [06:54] so i guess my main question is how do i reset to the main ubuntu graphics drivers? [06:55] anyone still there? [06:55] lemonsarecool: Does Alt-F2 pop up a "Run Application" window? [06:55] Zykotic-K9: with alsa and pulse a have not sound at all in my notebook [06:55] nope [06:55] can't open anything [06:55] so how many sysadmins in here? [06:55] i found out that gnome-panel wasn't installed [06:55] *idea* [06:55] oooohhhh [06:55] i uninstalled evolution-data-server.... [06:55] TwistedGhost: what graphics card do you have installed? [06:56] which was a dep of gnome-panel.... [06:56] 9800m gts [06:56] Zykotic-K9: but how can I wget the file? [06:56] TwistedGhost, sorry I can't be of help - I only use Nvidia - for years. Ati is a major problem with linux drivers, ubuntu is begging ATI to make better drivers - and the hilarious thing is ATI develops there cards and drivers under linux??? [06:56] i have a ati radeon 9something series [06:56] redzheb: close synaptic if you have it open... simply double click the deb on your desktop [06:56] could someone plz help me with wireless on an Eee PC 1000? [06:56] lemonsarecool: that'd be a problem. Do ctrl-alt-F1 to get to a command line, log in, and do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. That should install everything you removed by removing e-d-s. [06:56] redzheb: cd to the download dir and then "wget " [06:56] so whats the easyest way to get back to only the drivers that ubuntu installed with? [06:57] Hmm, still can't seem to install 8.10 inside of windows [06:57] redzheb, you don't have the complete path to the file you need at "http://paste.ubuntu.com/124577/" there is a file inside this [06:57] redzheb: after that, type "sudo dpkg -i " [06:57] quibbler: it's not working [06:57] i have no idea what other application is using the cd, tho =/ [06:57] TwistedGhost: i also use nvidia so not first-hand experience here :(. [06:57] grr lol [06:58] my firefox flash videos don't have sound anymore, after disabling pulseaudio. what to do? going back to pulse is not an option. [06:58] redzheb, sound on laptops can be tricky [06:58] can anyone help me revert to only the grapichs drivers that ubuntu installs with? [06:58] redzheb, you have to download the file first, and make sure that for the dpkg command after you download it, you typed the full path [06:58] lemonsarecol: it's not working too [06:58] dayo: are you using flashplugin-nonfree for sound? [06:58] dayo: for flash ** [06:58] so can anyone finish helping me with gnome? [06:59] * lemonsarecool whistles [06:59] why my amsn dont open [06:59] use pidgin [06:59] also any time i try to watch a movie i get to watch about 1 - 2 mins then i have to hard reset my computer the picture freezes but the sound keeps going [06:59] lemonsarecool: I just provided you with instructions. Do ctrl-alt-F1 to get to a command line, log in, and do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. That should install everything you removed by removing e-d-s. [06:59] rww: yeah Automatically installed: yes [06:59] Version: 9.0.159.0ubuntu1~hardy1 [06:59] oh [06:59] i missed that [06:59] redzheb:do as lemonsarecool say open a terminal and do: sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/oss-linux-4.1-1051_i386.deb [07:00] dayo, i had the same problem with flash and sound before upgrading to intrepid - could only go back to pulse to fix it [07:00] but AFTER YOU DOWNLOAD IT [07:00] and type the FULL PATH [07:00] Does anyone else know why i'm getting "Could not access CD, please make sure other applications are not using it and try again" when trying to install ubuntu install of windows [07:00] ? [07:00] cya [07:00] zykotuc-9: but how? [07:00] !who | lemonsarecool [07:00] lemonsarecool: he hasn't downloaded it? [07:00] Zykotic-K9: damn. i'm trying to avoid upgrading to ibex [07:00] lemonsarecool: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[07:24] hunt577: ok, are you in it now? [07:24] loadingm now [07:24] Hello folks, I have a question about TV-out on my laptop. [07:24] !nvidea [07:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidea [07:24] if i get kernel panic can my laptop be rescued? [07:24] !nvidia | Dillizar [07:24] Dillizar: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:25] how i can change my screen resolution in terminal [07:25] Flannel: Ah! Thank you very much for explaining. [07:25] louis`, with xorg.conf [07:25] hunt577, jschall if this helps??? Reinstall Grub after Windows Install / Boot off LiveCD / sudo grub / root (hd0,0) - setup (hd0) - exit [07:25] lol dayo f*** miss spell :D [07:25] where is that lemon [07:25] Rainium_Isotope_: dpkg-reconfigure gdm [07:25] in /etc/? [07:25] Dillizar: obfuscated swearing still is. Please refrain from it. Thanks [07:26] Zykotic-K9: those numbers might be a bit different [07:26] where is xorg.conf? [07:26] livecd loading now [07:26] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:26] jschall, YES!!!! very true [07:26] hello [07:26] thanks [07:26] hello? [07:26] Flannel, and what if the default is kdm? [07:26] hunt577: ok if i PM you? it's a bit crowded in here [07:27] jschall, but that's the steps!!! Partitions could be differnt don't overwright something!!! [07:27] my laptop get kernel panic after i did dist-upgrade. Can it be rescued please? [07:27] dayo the link doesnt work [07:27] Rainium_Isotope_: reconfiguring gdm should allow you to choose between display managers, regardless of whichever one you're on. If not, try switching gdm to kdm (or kde4-kdm or whatever it is) [07:28] louis`, /etc/X11/ [07:28] ok cool, but it wont delete any settings will it Flannel? [07:28] Rainium_Isotope_: Nah, you're just choosing which display manager to use [07:28] hallo? [07:28] awesome, thank you Flannel [07:28] Dillizar: works for me :-/ [07:28] my laptop get kernel panic after i did dist-upgrade. Can it be rescued please? [07:28] livingdaylight: Use the Restore at boot, you can choose the previous kernel or whatever. [07:28] is this a diffficult question? [07:29] I looked at the link, I don't think I need that one. My built-in laptop monitor works fine, and I even got the TV-out to display on my tv, but the tv only shows the bottom right 2/3rds of the screen. Any ideas? [07:29] loaded livecd but geez, just a blank screen now [07:29] vigo, because i did upgrade from feisty all previous kernels are of the 8.10 variety [07:29] livingdaylight, try booting into older kernel [07:29] hunt577: probably something wrong with the cd. try pressing ctrl-alt-f1 [07:30] usser, as i said this doesn't resolve the problem [07:30] livingdaylight, the grub may report that kernels are blahblah(intrepid) but they are actually old ones unchanged [07:30] i can't even get into a #shell [07:30] livingdaylight: That is why every OS suggests that regular backups are made of stable installs. Ubuntu and others have a restore feature in the boot or grub that can help that. [07:30] anyone has set his IP to a static ip? I can't seem to get it right [07:30] please tell me how i can restore? [07:30] mobodo_, whats the problem? [07:31] hi I don't have root assess on my machine, I deleted the user that did [07:31] hey Flannel, it says they can run simultaneously, but to edit each of their init scripts, and disable something, u know anything about that? [07:31] livingdaylight: Reboot. select the last stable kernel [07:31] usser, well, i chose older ones to try and it takes me to login screen where mouse is frozen [07:31] livingdaylight, if you didnt have a backup you can boot into livecd backup your /home and do a clean install [07:31] or what usser said [07:31] usser, now that is helpful... thx i'll do that [07:32] usser: when I use the Network Configuration tool it's not permanent, when I edit /etc/network/interfaces, I don't see eth0 in my ifconfig [07:32] vigo, thx, but as i said i tried your suggestion to no avail [07:32] mobodo_, pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces [07:32] i love how transmission gives ridiculously low ETAs even when it has a consistent amount of bandwidth. it said 9 minutes remaining literally 50 minutes ago and it's had a steady 160KB/s down since it started. [07:33] usser: I lost my root acsess :(( [07:33] usser, how do i access my files on a hard drive from a live cd? [07:33] and it's just barely finishing now [07:33] jschall, corrupt chunks may have caused that [07:33] usser: failed DL: none. [07:33] livingdaylight: I did the same thing, had to re-install once, once I used the restore, I do not know if that is still available after a kernel/distro upgrade. [07:33] usser: http://pastebin.com/m3eae64a5 [07:33] mobodo_, are you running ibex? [07:33] livingdaylight, you have to mount your ubuntu partition, look into /dev/ its usually sda1 or sda2 [07:33] vigo, apparently not [07:33] ok jchall I am in the livecd now [07:33] usser: it does this to me consistently, with everything i download. so annoying. [07:34] Ok.. is there a way to get the tool bar back on this thing?

[07:48] Zykotic-K9: he is typing root and pressing tab, the autocomplete is suggesting 2 commands, root and rootnoverify. [07:49] Zykotic-K9: he definitely is [07:49] lemonsarecool: and no, considering that 32-bit color essentially /is/ 24-bit color, I've never noticed a difference on Windows (which is the only place I've seen it). [07:49] rww, jeez sorry [07:49] Well, I installed it about 15 minutes ago [07:49] hunt577, jschall I thought is was in grub? but the grub prompt is a > [07:49] Zykotic-K9: he wants to type "root (hd" then press tab [07:49] so monitor's can't even really display 32-bit?

OSS is old and not too good with sharing, Alsa is better with sharing and Pulse seems to be the best. YMMV [08:02] Lol, audacity froze my box twice in a row now. couldn't even ssh in to kill it. [08:02] Hey, I'm using Kubuntu (KDE 4.2) and I set a desktop setting ... and now my screens all black... and I don't know how to reset it back to normal ... [08:02] Zykotic-K9, i think i have ALSA [08:02] Zykotic-K9, how can i check what i am using [08:03] Dillizar, do you know if it's one app in particular that is stealing the audio? [08:03] mkinitramfs is not making a bootable initrd for me. Gets stuck at 'waiting for filesystem...'. The kernel I compiled uses the same options as the ubuntu kernel (just newer version). What should I do? [08:03] Zykotic-K9, nope i just turn on the PC [08:03] Dillizar, so you have no audio at all? [08:04] Zykotic-K9, nope when i started the start up song jammed [08:04] Dillizar, have you ever had sound? [08:05] Zykotic-K9, yeah just before i installed Nvidia [08:05] Dillizar, nvidia would have installed or reconfigured your kernel, anything special about your sound card? [08:06] <[chr0n0s]> y0 [08:06] Zykotic-K9, its onboard :D [08:06] hi, I have a problem with NetworkManager, I am using a mobile broadband card which I want to share to other computers. when i set the ipv4 settings to "shared to other computers" for a Wired connection, this works allright, but I can't access the other computers on the network. Suggestions? [08:06] Zykotic-K9, standart AC97 [08:07] Zykotic-K9, intel i think [08:07] Dillizar, ya got the same sorta sound setup on two machines :) [08:07] Whenever I type anything in in terminal, it says no file or directory exists [08:07] Dillizar: have you tried reinstalling the nvidia drivers? [08:07] morning , how may i list all the users who are connected using ssh? [08:07] sudo: unable to execute ./vfdecrypt: No such file or directory [08:07] I know for a fact that it does exist [08:08] bamhm182: you need to make the file executable (e.g. "chmod 755 /path/to/file") [08:08] bamhm182: chmod +x vfdecrypt [08:08] natschil, do ya know the name of the nvidia drivers so i can apt-get them [08:08] bamhm182, are you in that directory cause the ./ means right here [08:08] Dillizar: well, how did you install them in the first place ? [08:08] !nvidia [08:08] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:08] Yeah, I'm there [08:09] anybody help.

How i can install my sound card [08:09] natschil, WELL hardware drivers [08:09] bamhm182, did you set it executable as natschil suggested? [08:09] also, I typed in chmod +x vfdecrypt and it didn't work [08:09] anybody help. I installed oss driver and now when i cheked for my sound card it's tell me that no found sound card. Please help. How i can install my sound card [08:10] redzheb, (SORRY) but didn't i suggest that it might not be a good idea to install that like an hour ago (SORRY kinda funny if it is though) [08:11] something is wrong with sudo lshw -C video my graphic card is not 32bit [08:12] redzheb, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling "alsa-base" from Synaptic? [08:12] I also tried chmod 755 /path/to/file as per natschil's suggestion [08:12] didn't work [08:13] This computer hates me... [08:13] bamhm182, wait a sec what is the full path? [08:14] /home/bamhm182/Desktop/vfdecrypt-linux/vfdecrypt [08:14] bamhm182, what is vfdecrypt? vf sounds like virtual filesystem? [08:14] not exactly sure [08:15] bamhm182, LOL your trying to get files off an ipod or iphone [08:16] I'm trying to get the iPhone SDK installed on Ubuntu and I was trying to install dmg2img and than it kept giving me errors about vfdecrypt [08:17] bamhm182, sorry man i have zero experience with an apple stuff, especially iphone/ipod stuff - don't own any... [08:17] alright [08:18] Too bad I don't have 100k to blow on a mac >< [08:18] I've been trying since Wednesday to get access to the iPhone SDK,,, [08:19] bamhm182, ehhh i prefer linux to be honest - don't get me wrong Apples are sexy, my ex use to have on, i installed x and install a quasi-ports tree ala: freebsd very neat stuff. but i still prefer linux :) === pete_ is now known as Guest31582 [08:20] I'm really don't like Macs, but I really want to mess with the iPhone SDK [08:21] bamhm182, i think iphones are very cool, probably the best phone on the market, but i'm also really hopeful for the Google G1 [08:21] !ot [08:21] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:22] Yeah, I got an iPod Touch last week, almost haven't put it down since I got it [08:22] bamhm182: well, I wouldn't think that you can just "execute" random files from the iphone, as you'll probably need the iphone kernel to do this. [08:22] bamhm182, it has some pretty fun games :) [08:22] I know [08:22] I've looked into it [08:22] Indeed it does rdw [08:23] bamhm182, rdw200169, natschil: mind taking this conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic? thanks [08:23] You need to make the game, than pay $100 and you get a license that lets you put it on the iPod/Phone than you can use it [08:23] If you really do want to execute this file, doing something like using sudo chmod 755 might help, as I'm not sure about whether you have the permissions to do so [08:23] Flannel : sure [08:23] Flannel, no problem [08:23] hi [08:24] how can install tar file [08:24] !compile | mostafa [08:24] mostafa: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [08:25] anyway, I have another question: Is there a way to share internet connetions using nm but still be able to access the computers you are sharing the internet to? [08:25] mostafa, a tar file is a compress file (sorta, not really compress at all), from the terminal you can use "tar -xvf file.tar" to extract it, but be careful if there are lots of files inside [08:25] its an archive.. [08:26] How do I copy files from directory a to directory b using directory c as a reference for which files to copy (must be recurrsive and keep links as links)? [08:26] hello, i got a HP 6530s laptop, with Intel 7370, and GMA 4500 on board graphic card. and my problem is that : " when i use "Movie Player" or "MPlayer" to play movies , the screen goes black, and the system just do not response any more. I can only Press The Power key to let the system down, and then restart the computer. But when i use the RealPlayer to play rmvb movies, it's all right! and what's more. In my Windows in VMware, when i use Kmplayer to [08:27] Cool_Nick, that's beyond my scripting abilities but good luck (it's that using directory c as a reference) that makes thinks more difficult [08:27] OH, i am using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, and when i use the Hardware Test, when comes to the Graphics Card Test, the system crashes. How can i solve this! [08:28] Zykotic-K9, I was hoping some utilitie would do that like rsync or some advanced copy command [08:28] huwenfeng, don't do the Hardware Test [08:28] hello, i got a HP 6530s laptop, with Intel 7370, and GMA 4500 on board graphic card. and my problem is that : " when i use "Movie Player" or "MPlayer" to play movies , the screen goes black, and the system just do not response any more.

[08:29] !repeat > huwenfeng [08:29] huwenfeng, please see my private message [08:30] Cool_Nick→ maybe you could first do a rsync copy from c to b, then do an rsync update on the files in b by syncing from directory a? [08:30] hello, is there a way to make google show only 1 domain per slot? it keeps showing same domain just diff links. [08:31] magnetron, Im trying to read how to do that now...never really used rsync before [08:31] Borgon→ we don't provide support for google here. you are asking in the #ubuntu channel. [08:31] i figured that, and why cant u just answer the question [08:32] stop being a ahole [08:32] lol [08:33] There seems to be a problem, when your extended partition is not the last entry (hda3 instead of hda4): (Ubuntu 8.10) hda1(ntfs) hda2(ntfs) hda3(EXT.PART) hda4(ext3) hda5(swap) hda6(ext3) hda7(ext3) - can I make Ubuntu see hda4 automatically? I can mount it in the shell. (my IDE drives show as sda of course) Mounting hda4 manually to /media/somename does not work really (doesnt appear on desktop, or shows "/") === shaman is now known as Guest87511 [08:33] !attitude | Borgon [08:33] Borgon: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [08:33] http://pastebin.com/m6c4b307 [08:34] anyone know why terminal refuses to see ANYTHING? === squiddy is now known as Guest54550 [08:34] ok up tight mofos [08:34] bamhm182, is your monitor turned on? [08:34] lol [08:34] Borgon: This is a help channel for Ubuntu, please respect that. [08:34] By see you mean show you graphically or find things? [08:34] #psychedelic [08:34] hmw, if you mount something from the terminal it doesn't show up on the destkop, it show up where you mounted it /media/somename (that also requires the /media/somename to exist) [08:35] Zykotic-K9, interesting, didn't notice that! [08:35] I mean find things, for EVERYTHING that I type in, it says it doesn't exist [08:35] type ls [08:35] See anything? [08:36] bamhm182: pastebin the output of "ls -la", please [08:36] yes, stuff happened [08:37] http://pastebin.com/m66f4f43c [08:37] there it is rww [08:37] hello I have two computers here as othe other computer is dual booting windows with ubuntu however i ve encountered problems here that there are two seperate ones are: ubuntu cannot find one specific file to get it installed and, somehow ubuntu messed up the windows partition by hiding it... [08:38] bamhm182: I meant in the same directory that you did the command before [08:38] anyone could care enuff to help me out? [08:38] alright [08:38] sorry [08:39] http://pastebin.com/m1a97a9e8 [08:39] there it is rww [08:39] i have a folder called Allgrey.tar that i downloaded as a icon theme. how do i install it? [08:39] yoyit2: icon themes can be dragged into the Appearance preferences window [08:40] If im doing a bunch of piping do i need to specify sudo per segment?!? [08:40] For instance, blah | blah | blah [08:40] GeneralGustav: yes. [08:40] Ahhhhhh that'll be my problem. hehehe. [08:40] Thanks [08:40] GeneralGustav: and if you need to output to a file (>) use `| sudo tee` instead (or >> becomes | sudo tee -a) [08:40] crdlb: it says its not a valid them file [08:41] did you get that link rww? [08:41] yoyit2: ok, manually extract it with file-roller [08:41] Flannel, Cool, thanks for the tip! Im trying to turn a clonezilla backup into an img. [08:41] bamhm182: what's the output of "file vfdecrypt" (again, in that directory) [08:42] crdlb: im REALLY new to ubuntu (x vista user) how do i do all this? walkthtough? [08:42] yoyit2: you can put it in ~/.icons so that you see the following layout: ~/.icons/THEME_NAME/XXxYY/ (there should be several size directories at this level) [08:43] rrw, http://pastebin.com/m5eb759bc [08:43] *rww [08:43] yoyit2: maybe I should take a look :) Where did you find this icon theme? [08:44] bamhm182: give me a minute or two, i'm gonna test something. [08:44] crdlb: http://sudosys.be/?q=fully_transparent_ubuntu [08:44] no one seem to understand myproblem? [08:44] alright [08:44] How can I use an Evolution adressbook on a Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer on another Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer in the same LAN? [08:44] Flannel, Gah, its being a pain... Its asking me for my pw but ntfsclone gets in the way... Is there anyway of sudoing the entire string in one go? [08:45] Squynti, i kinda understand your problem but messing with boot tables can be very messy (especially across irc) [08:45] GeneralGustav: You could. Or you can `sudo -i` and open a root shell (and then 'exit' once you're done) [08:45] Flannel, I think i'll do that. [08:45] my nvidia druvers are in use but still 640x480 an ideas [08:45] Flannel, Thanks [08:46] Squynti, is it that grub can't boot windows anymore? [08:46] Zykotic-K9: ok i appreciate if you helpme as I'll be careful and I can explain to you as much depth as I can s'alrite with you? [08:46] Zykotic-K9: actually i do see grub prompt [08:47] let me go in that os right now... [08:47] Squynti, when the computer first starts up? do you see any choices? [08:47] YESSS It works. [08:47] Hello , I need help please , i would like to play wmv movie on Ubuntu , but it seems the sound have delay ? [08:47] yoyit2: I see what happened [08:47] Flannel, Thanks! Also, I just thought, If I wanted to, I could turn it into a shell script and sudo that, right? [08:47] How do I force an rsync if the files aren't newer? [08:47] crdlb: so how can i get this to work? [08:48] yoyit2: .tar is an archive (a collection of files in a single file), which is then compressed (.gz) [08:48] Zykotic-K9: do you mean boot menu? windows -> ubuntu? yes [08:48] yoyit2: you need to rename the original .gz file you got from the website to .tar.gz [08:48] is on average 300mb of ram usage good? x.X [08:48] Squynti, and what happens for each? [08:48] otherwise, gnome gets confused [08:49] crdlb: then once ive renamed it, then it will work to drag and drop it into appearence pref? [08:49] bamhm182: okay, so "sudo ./vfdecrypt" gives you that "unable to execute" error? [08:49] yoyit2: yeah [08:49] bamhm182: when you run it inside the dmg2img-1.3 directory? [08:51] bamhm182: because I just downloaded http://vu1tur.eu.org/tools/download.pl?dmg2img-1.3.tar.gz , untarred it, installed the libssl-dev and zlib1g-dev packages, ran make inside the dmg2lib-1.3 directory, and then did "sudo ./vfdecrypt" and it worked fine. [08:51] rww, it says sudo: unable to execute ./vfdecrypt: No such file or directory [08:51] crdlb: so i renamed the folder from ALLGREY.tar to ALLGREY.tar.gz and it still just flots away when i drag and drop into the Appearance Preferences [08:51] well initally, after ubuntu installed, i could boot both just fine until the last boot into ubuntu as it was asking me to find (find --set-root --ignore-floppies /ubuntu/install/boot/grub/menu.lst error 15: file not found then i somewhat fiddle a bit afterwards in the grub before rebotin into windows then... [08:51] rww what's the output of ls -l vfdecrypt [08:52] Zykotic-K9: -rwxr-xr-x 1 robert robert 21625 2009-03-01 00:47 vfdecrypt [08:52] I get into windows error such as autochk program not found skipping autocheck [08:52] !!! [08:52] Zykotic-K9: that's fresh off the "make" command. No chmod needed. [08:52] where did you find libssl-dev and zlib1g-dev? [08:52] can anyone help in this discussion.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1083335 [08:52] yoyit2: no, the original .gz from deviantart [08:52] I looked in the package manager and can't find them [08:52] bamhm182: they're in the repositories. sudo apt-get install libssl-dev and zlib1g-dev [08:52] bamhm182: what version of Ubuntu are you using? [08:52] crdlb: ?? [08:53] rww, ? [08:53] Zykotic-K9: what? [08:53] 8.10 [08:53] yoyit2: http://amadme.deviantart.com/art/ALLGREY-79798529 [08:53] rww i have no idea, sorry. [08:53] yoyit2: the file you get when you click download there [08:53] bamhm182: they're both in Intrepid's main repository. [08:54] Squynti, could you do me a favour and start any responses directed at my with my Handle typeing "Zy" then pressing tab might autocomplete it [08:55] http://pastebin.com/d40a526e3 rww, it says that [08:55] brb, I need new batteries [08:55] Im on mirc (which I really hate) and iot wouldnt work but Illkeep in mind [08:55] bamhm182: firstly, you don't need the "and" there ;). secondly, that error means you have another package manager open. close any synaptic windows you see. [08:55] is this ok? [08:55] whoops [08:56] Squynti, that grub error about error 15 usually means that it can't see even your root partion, if you boot off the live cd can you see both partitons [08:56] sorry, I'm tired >< [08:56] that works [08:56] crdlb: thx [08:56] hi there [08:56] yoyit2: even though that file's extension, is .gz, it's really a .tar.gz [08:56] i cant to able to boot correctly to my ubuntu [08:56] i got a black screen [08:56] alright, got those installed, now what rww? [08:57] doing startx [08:57] nothing change [08:57] have i reinstall ubuntu completly ? [08:57] still says it doesn't exist [08:57] Zykotic-K9: actually Im not too sure of the last part whatyou said... but im goin to assume that I dont see it because I dont know of it [08:58] Zykotic-K9: also I'd have to assume that ubuntu had hidden my windows partition somehow?? [08:58] Squynti, just so i'm clear - can you boot into windows right now? [08:58] bamhm182: then I ran the "make" command from the dmg2img directory. [08:58] Zykotic-K9: no [08:59] Squynti, i've never heard of hidden partition really. can you get into ubuntu right now then? [08:59] crdlb: yea thx. u know how Xchat has a transparency option, how the border of the window is solid, but the background to the window is transparent, how can i do this with the reest of my theme???? [08:59] Zykotic-K9: as I mentioned i received the windows error : autochk program not found skipping autocheck [08:59] hey guys, i have a quick question: will my cd burner work with ubuntu 8.10 if i always had problems with it even when i was in Windows xp? [08:59] Squynti, and ubuntu can you get into it? [08:59] hello [08:59] rww, it made it like it was supposed to that time [08:59] noone helops [08:59] ??? [08:59] Zykotic-K9: technically I can go into ubuntu but only at grub prompt [09:00] i got a black screen [09:00] i cant to able to boot correctly to my ubuntu [09:00] have i reinstall ubuntu completly ? [09:00] harlemdavvey: I assume that would depend on what's wrong with your CD burner. If it's broken hardware-wise, I'd assume not. [09:00] yoyit2: that can only be done if the application supports it [09:00] now I ran dmg2img -i image.dmg -o newimage.img and it looks like it's thinking about it [09:00] rww: well, it always had some problems but it depended on windows xp [09:00] Squynti, so that's really a no unfortunatly. you have no working os to actually make any changes, except the grub prompt - so we need to make it boot into something. [09:01] bamhm182: huzzah [09:01] crdlb: but there arnt any transparency themes? the one on the link i sent you http://sudosys.be/?q=fully_transparent_ubuntu doesnt work for me [09:01] Zykotic-K9: so what am I to do now? [09:01] I have this script running every minute as root, why won't my computer shutdown?: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/124614/ [09:01] rww: i'm not expecting to have it working with ubuntu but i'm just asking if it's possible to "predict" if it will be working good in linux without trying it [09:01] Now hopefully it finishes working, thanks for your help rww :) [09:02] Archive successfully decompressed as newimage.img :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D [09:02] hey guys, can i use the new kernel with intrepid ? [09:02] bamhm182: you're welcome! Glad I could help :) [09:02] Squynti, there is a way to edit the lines in grub so we can try poining it to different drives, hold one sec [09:02] georgeaf: sure! [09:02] georgeaf: which "new kernel"? what version? [09:02] harlemdavvey: Again, it depends on what's wrong with it, so no. [09:02] 2.6.28 [09:02] it's not there for interpid in the repositories [09:03] Squynti, are you or can you get to your grub prompt? [09:03] Zykotic-K9: I searched the web about autochk issue and said it had been hidden somehow for my case from ubuntu cuz I accidently messed something up... forgot what command I made it happen cuz I got into windows just fine while ubuntu installed [09:03] yoyit2: that link has you use compiz to make the entire window transparent, which causes the text to be transparent, not just the background [09:03] georgeaf: You could theoretically install the Jaunty package of 2.6.28, but that's a Bad Idea and might break your Ubuntu system, so we don't support that. [09:03] georgeaf: as far as I know, Intrepid isn't going to get an official update to 2.6.28, though. [09:03] yoyit2: you can do that; it's just not ideal as it reduces legibility [09:04] Zykotic-K9: [09:04] Squynti, are you at the grub menu? [09:04] rww: so i should download another ubuntu cd just for getting a new kernel ? something's wrong here [09:04] crdlb: i know, but in compiz, it doenst give me the option for transparency [09:04] #ubuntu-offtopic [09:04] Zykotic-K9: uhm actually im in some kind of find lines in there so I guess I wud say yes for grub prompt [09:05] rww: i hasn't something wrong.. i mean.. in windows xp, it had some problems with the software because when the software knew that the amount of bytes to burn was more than a certain size, then the content of the disc was deleted during the burning session.. and the cd had to be thrown away:) so.. i don't know..it probably doesn't have some problems the cd burner itself [09:05] georgeaf: Ubuntu does not upgrade stable releases with new kernel versions, because that's kinda the whole point of stable releases. [09:05] Squynti, ummm, not entirely sure what you mean.... do you see choices like "Ubuntu 8.xx ..." and Windows? [09:06] Zykotic-K9: Im in grub prompt there right now... [09:06] any idea how I can install it now rww? [09:06] yoyit2: ah, they moved it into Opacity, Brightness & Saturation [09:06] rww: can it be that a cd burner can work good with a certain OS and bad with another? [09:06] oh ok [09:06] crdlb: oh ok [09:06] I've got the file as an .img and I've got it extracted [09:06] Squynti, grub prompt? does your prompt look like a > , what do you see? [09:06] harlemdavvey: it's possible, yes. [09:07] crdlb: off topic, but emerald never works for me, it always frezes and/or doenst ever change the theme [09:07] Zykotic-K9: right now grub>_ [09:07] yoyit2: yeah, it's basically abandonware [09:07] rww: what would you suggest me to use to burn my discs on ubuntu 8.10? i've tried brasero yesterday but it had some problem when i wanted to add mp3s to the compilation (logically.. xD) [09:07] Squynti, OK, you really are at a grub prompt! [09:07] Hi guys...anyone using remind on his computer by any chance? [09:07] Zykotic-K9: yes apparently so [09:08] crdlb: sorry what?? its abbandond? [09:08] !burning | harlemdavvey: brasero works fine for me. Try one of these, maybe? [09:08] harlemdavvey: brasero works fine for me.

[09:14] Zykotic-K9: hope he's joking about nuking... [09:14] no, i'm not [09:15] you destroyed the grub config file and now it's cluetarded about how it should boot what [09:15] Squynti, we need some way of seeing if there are actually partitions left on your drive [09:15] famicom: and now its actually "dead"? [09:15] Zykotic-K9: yes I do understamd [09:15] Squynti not really, restoring /boot/grub/menu.list should be fine [09:15] Squynti, it can be fixed if you have a live cd [09:16] please participate in this dicussion http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1083335 [09:16] Zykotic-K9: i do have live cd matter of afact [09:16] livingdaylight what filesystem does your esternal drive have [09:16] famicom: regardless of that it seem can't find that particular file [09:17] yeah no shit [09:17] Squynti, well get her spinnin' [09:17] !virtualbox | DarkKnight [09:17] DarkKnight: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

I'm still half asleep [09:37] my* [09:37] Dillizar: that's the simplest way, really.

[09:39] the two partitions in one :) [09:40] Dillizar: well, if you want to use LVM/RAID0, you're gonna have to do some copying data around [09:40] damn [09:40] Hi, I can't ping _anything_ via eth1 .... although I can detect some pc's with arp -an ... cannot ping them === Neggy is now known as Neggy_AFK [09:40] Dillizar: what's your partition setup? [09:40] what does floodbot do? [09:41] celeritas, i have only one [09:41] Squynti, you still there? are you at the desktop of the livecd? [09:41] Dillizar: okay, do you have any other disks available? [09:41] LimeBurst: live and learn :-) [09:41] yeah i think i have lil 40gb around here === Neggy_AFK is now known as Neggy [09:42] wooo 50% done [09:42] Zykotic-K9: Im still here and Now I understand what am I gonna do, thanks toyou as im in the partition dialog box atthe moment....but Im considering aborting it so I can fix the next problem [09:43] If my psyhical RAM is 4GB, is there even a point to having a swap? [09:43] Squynti, should i ask? what is "the next" problem? [09:43] Dillizar: is it internal/fast? if not, you'll want to partition the disk and copy it back again after reinstall [09:43] genesis: if you plan to hibernate your computer [09:44] Myrtti: it'll actually be used as a server. [09:44] Dillizar: if it is, you just copy once, and mount it as /home [09:44] genesis: in that case, no [09:44] That's what I thought. [09:44] celeritas, k i can do that [09:44] Zykotic-K9: You don't have to haha but I want my windows back and I'd guess you wudnt helpme with this one/ [09:44] Myrtti//is it a defense solution for channel terror? [09:44] Squynti, also is this a live cd or an install cd? [09:44] Thanks for the clarification, Myrtti. [09:45] How can I use an Evolution adressbook on a Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer on another Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer in the same LAN? [09:45] LimeBurst: something like that [09:45] liveCD I guess is there a difference? [09:45] thanks [09:45] Squynti, livecd give you an ubuntu desktop, install cds just give you an install [09:46] Squynti, cause i really wanted a live cd, not to restart the install in anyway, but there are tools we can use on the livecd [09:46] Zykotic-K9: lety me verify it [09:47] Squynti, do you see icons? and the "Applications / Places / System" menu at the top? [09:47] Zykotic-K9: it seem says liveCD [09:47] no [09:47] it showing the partition dialog box right now [09:48] I have 2 network cards, planning to NAT them... but for now, I can't ping _anyone_ on my local subnet [connected to eth1] from the gateway, nor can they ping the GW ... although with arp -an I can see them... [09:48] And help/ideas? [09:48] Squynti, what does the cd say on it? is this an ubuntu cd? [09:48] Squynti, what version? [09:49] Zykotic-K9: 8.04 and yes its ubuntu... why else I be in this channel? =-) [09:49] how can i check if i am using alsa or oss? [09:49] Dillizar: you're using ALSA unless you installed OSS. Trust me, you'd know [09:50] and where i can find the alsa config file :) [09:50] Squynti, just making sure. i don't remember the cd bringing up the partition dialogure right away though??? [09:50] Dillizar: /etc/asound.conf (apparently this can be used with oss for bluetooth devices, though) [09:51] Zykotic-K9: not right away actually its a seven part installation as im in 4th of the 7 [09:51] Dillizar: what are you trying to do? I never needed to configure asound.conf [09:51] whewreas partition [09:51] celeritas, well i want my sound back :P it doesnt work any more :( [09:51] Squynti, did you start the install after the cd started? [09:51] Dillizar: since when? an upgrade? a reboot? just stopped at random? [09:52] hello everyone [09:52] i can't get sound under wine, i have 2 sound cards, the one that works, and the intergarated one that doesn't... [09:52] Zykotic-K9: i guess so after startin from the "liveCD" [09:52] Squynti: What exactly are you wanting to do/trying to do? ;) [09:52] Squynti, like the cd started and you clicked an icon on the desktop like "install ubuntu"??? [09:52] Hello, all; my pc does not play CD's when I boot into Ubuntu [it works fine on WinXP, though... {I have a recent dual-boot system with Wubi}]: I simply inserted the music CD into the tray expecting the pc to play it as usual and was surprised to find that not one of the available media players could do much with it [I noticed that the file type came up as ''wma'' instead of ''cda'']; I wonder if anyone on-line now has experienced the same problem and could [09:53] lincid: to get my windows back in working order!! =-P [09:53] Dillizar: most people have trouble flipping the switches and sliders on oss' mixer. consider yourself lucky [09:53] whilst I know what to do withunbuntu fortunately!! [09:53] Zykotic-K9: yessir it seemed so I did [09:54] Squynti: Mind if I ask what the Windows problem is? As installing Ubuntu isn't going to fix it, hehe :P [09:54] licid: i'd just wanna have my windows back pasting the autochk error [09:54] Cyclist.. if u have inserted a cd containing mp3's then unless u download the codecs for ubuntu nuthing will work [09:54] licid: don't I know it?

[09:56] Squynti, Lincid i certainly didn't mean for you to start the install again, all i wanted to do was start off the livecd and see if ubuntu can see any of your partitions - as your grub is pointing either to the wrong drive/partition - or your partitions have been deleted or corrupted or something..........

[10:37] I am looking for a remote desktop program (client and server) that is easy to use and GUI (no terminal interface or commands required), i looked at VNC but it seemed to be all terminal commands according to man pages [10:37] my sound card its busy all the time any one has an idea [10:38] What do you mean "for starters"? I just created a new conncetion and gave it all the ip (adress+subnet+gateway+dns) [10:38] either im stupid, wich is an option or the madwifi are way complex to install! [10:39] Hi folks. Does anyone have some experience with 'thelastripper' software. I can't get that thing working, alltough it worked the first few days... [10:39] t_ras, once those are confirmed to be right we move on to default gateway, DNS, firewall, proxy etc. etc. etc. [10:39] Daft_Punk: there are gui clients for vnc (its just a protocol), about server guis i am not sure there is [10:39] my sound card its busy all the time any one has any ideas why or how can this happen and how i can fix it [10:39] minimec: error message? [10:40] Daft_Punk, a little command-line is good for the soul! [10:40] I guess when the RAM is increased the SWAP is automatically increased to the size of RAM [10:40] user____, ok well i have a remote desktop program (gui client) i think it was default with ubuntu, but im more concerned about the gui server [10:40] is that true? [10:40] sprinkmeier, yeah im sure it is but i dont want to devote that sort of time to it, i just need it for a quick 1 day thing pretty much [10:40] well ip is 212.143.241.131, subnet is 255.255.255.248, gateway is 212.143.241.129 === DragoraN_ is now known as DragoraN [10:40] thanks [10:40] What should be run to detect and configure eth0? I chose "skip network configuration" during install, and now there is no eth0, only "lo". Can it be because of I skipped this step? Previous install of ubuntu automatically detected the card. [10:41] i need some help instaling my atheros wifi card, from what i read i need madwifi but when i compile it i get http://pastebin.com/m1c9379c1 [10:41] user____: wait... I will start it in a console... Basiclly the software starts up, but doesn't start to rip. I opened a seperate account for it too. [10:41] ftab, no.... if you install with more RAM the installer automagically suggests a bigger swap. Adding more swap is trivial, but there's no point unless you have hibernate problems or are getting OM errors) [10:41] ftab: not automatically [10:42] user____: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124670/ === squiddy is now known as Guest54930 [10:42] when I was installing Ubuntu my RAM was 512 RAM and i let Ubuntu adjust my swap, now I just increased my RAM to 1GB wondering if the space would have been increased or not? [10:43] t_ras, (too tired to do the HEX maths, I'll just assume the ranges are OK). what happens when you try to ping? try running 'tcpdump -npi eht0' in another window to see exactly which packets are sent/received [10:43] can eth0 be missing because of some configuration, or it was not simply detected and module was not loaded? [10:43] any expert help :( [10:43] Daft_Punk: system - preferences -remote desktop (never used it myself yet though) [10:44] how can i use for the root application the system theme under kde? [10:44] pinging loopback works, pingint 212.143.142.131 gets network unreachable. also at ifconfig I see no IPs [10:44] ftab, not automatically. IF you're using a swap partition (the old way) you're probably SOL increasing it easily. If you used a swap file then you can increase its size fairly easily. [10:44] ftab: you were told by sprinkmeier [10:44] minimec: is it a closed source program? [10:44] ftab: please don't ask the same question again after sprinkmeier told you his opinion (which I share), instead answer what he asked: is hibernate a problem? [10:45] BrixSat, did you google the error? [10:45] user____: http://thelastripper.com/ [10:45] t_ras, are you using DHCP? [10:45] yes and Nothing diskin [10:45] BrixSat, http://n2.nabble.com/compilation-stop-with-error-td1332516.html [10:46] I'm not, but the dump shows a lot of DHCP requests... [10:47] I have an Asus M3A motherboard, running Ubunutu Intrepid. Whenever I create a lot of IO (Ie. copying a file from one harddisk to an other) I use about 50% CPU on "wait", and the system becomes VERY sluggish. Is there something I haven't enabled? [10:47] diskin: checking ;) [10:47] I think that might be the problem. Any way to disable DHCP? The router isconfigured for fixed IPS [10:47] user____: Looks like last.fm changed the protocol, but there is a new inofficial version of the software ... ;) [10:48] minimec: try to build the latest source by yourself [10:48] t_ras, if you're not using DHCP then you have to manually configure the IP addresses. how you do that depends on distro and personal preferance (munging files in /etc, network manager, whatever). Until you do that, and get an IP address, you won't get networking. [10:49] I'm using kubuntu ,sno I roght clicked on the "globus"icon (probably netowrk manager 7) and created a new connection for eth0 with the IPs I sent you. [10:50] What is the file I can edit for IP configuration to override networkmanager? [10:50] t_ras: /etc/network/interfaces [10:50] thanks all. Ill edit the file directly [10:51] hey guys whats happening [10:51] ifconfig does not show eth0 - where it can be enabled? the module is included in distro, because it worked in previous install.. [10:51] hello [10:51] roccity_: whats the problem? [10:51] how would you go about converting a .avi to a DVD (mpeg I guess) with embedding subtitles? [10:52] how can i check what is my default soundcard? [10:52] (windows cp1250 encoded .srt subtitles no less) [10:52] diskin have to tried modprobe ? [10:52] Almindor, I've used DeeVeeDee but I'm a video noob, I'm sure there's a better way [10:52] sprinkmeier, it can do subs? [10:52] Good morning all - I'm having trouble getting my middle scroll button working on a Thinkpad R61. Tried following the instructions I found at http://is.gd/lidj for configuring it through HAL, but it's still not working. Anyone have any ideas? [10:53] i set my default card, with asoundconf set-default-card but i think it changes back after i reboot [10:53] I have ubuntu easypeasy on my minilaptop and my wireless network worked a day ago I installed it, now it has forgotten it [10:53] sdf2, cheat.... put the set-default command in /etc/rc.local :-) [10:53] I took and disabled wireless and enabled it again and it's just like dead [10:53] what can I do? [10:54] roccity_, I'm not near that PC now, but it run another install of Ubuntu, and the card was up automatically. [10:54] roccity_, But then when I installed the new system, I choose "skip network configuration" during install - can it be the reason of not activating eth0? [10:54] diskin: you can try lsmod and see if the card is listed, if not you can try sudo modprobe the name of the module [10:55] Almindor, NFI, my AVI's didn't have subtitles [10:55] diskin: what kind of card is it [10:55] roccity_, yes, I will boot into the old install and compare lsmod [10:55] roccity_, don't know right now:( - friends's PC [10:55] sprinkmeier, seems it can [10:55] cannot get DVD playback working in Hardy [10:55] please help [10:55] !dvd [10:55] 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 [10:55] diskin: ok come back and let us know how it went [10:56] anyone knows about easypeasy and wireless network?

It was hosting my websites fine and dandy until a couple of hours ago, when the machine overheated or something and broke down. Since then, I've moved the harddrive over to another machine which I intend to use to continue serving websites with. [10:59] The problem I'm having is that the network card is not being detected properly, and as such there is no network connection. lspci shows the network card in the list (Realtek RTL-8110SC/8169SC) but ifconfig does not show the card. [10:59] What would be the easiest way to get my network card back up and running? I should still have the original Ubuntu CD, so the drivers should eb on there. Is there a command I can run that will automatically install it for me if I put the CD in?

[11:53] DarkKnight, 4 choices... dual-boot, mount the windows partitions (I recommend read-only) or run windows in a VM or try wine [11:53] user___; yes but i am pissed off with using it and its being months since i had been asking how to solve the issues with flash [11:53] hey any one why am i getting this error message [11:53] sprinkmeier; i was told that VBOX is better than VM [11:53] ? [11:53] back [11:54] icu2, on? [11:54] i think my gstreamer is broken i dont have sound i cant play a song and all the time i have this msg " audio card busy" pls help [11:54] DarkKnight, VM == your favourite virtual machine (vmware, virtualbox, whatever....) [11:54] DarkKnight, you can also use qemu [11:55] DarkKnight: look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-virtualbox-2.0.0-on-ubuntu-8.10-desktop [11:55] Incarus; another alternative to VM [11:55] sdf2, check that it's still set, System->Administration->Login window, Accesibility tab [11:55] Dillizar, open a player in terminal and try to play a song and paste output [11:55] quibbler; i use 8.04 [11:55] DarkKnight: http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-virtualbox-2.0.0-on-ubuntu-8.04-desktop [11:56] sprinkmeier, ok, that did the trick, it wasn't the precise command syntax, but close enough for me to figure it out, thanks. [11:56] DarkKnight: how about accessing the flash files from a fresh win install (+flash) in virtualbox client and ubuntu host, while ubuntu host has windows harddisk files mounted and host networking filesystem [11:57] quibbler; installing is not my problem...but using windows in ubuntu [11:57] DarkKnight, whats the problem? [11:57] darkk [11:57] Incarus, how can i run a program in terminal for ex VLC [11:57] Dillizar, open terminal and enter "vlc" [11:58] k [11:58] Dillizar, ALT-F2 [11:58] user___; i didnt get the 2nd part of your question... i can view the Windows files...but i want to use the internet in pure Windows mode via ubuntu and also if possible use .NET tools and other tools on this Windows [11:58] Incarus, no out put nothing [11:58] Incarus; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1083335&page=1 refer this [11:59] hello, how can I tell networkmanager not to manage a device in intrepid? [11:59] DarkKnight: you start virtualbox and make a new drive for xp and install it [11:59] quibbler; can't i make use of an existing installation?? [11:59] natschil, delete settings in network manager [11:59] what do you mean? [12:00] Hi everybody! My problem: I cannot find a linux version of PPS (www.pps.tv). With this program you can watch many chinese television channels. I installed the windows version with Wine, but it does not work on Ubuntu. [12:00] do not install alsa-oss package [12:00] it fully messed up my sound [12:00] DarkKnight: maybe you can, but i don't know how. i had a xp disk and just intsalled from that === sale_ is now known as sale [12:00] Incarus: thanks, I got it working. [12:01] quibbler; so this is my problem...wanted to know if this was possible [12:01] DarkKnight: just install vbox-ose and install a fresh winxp in it, plus .net, flash and whatelse you might need. then create a networking filesystem between ubuntu and the vbox windows. for your "old" windows files you then have a bridge ala: windows old -> mounted by ubuntu vbox host -> networked filesystem to vbox client [12:01] DarkKnight: i take you have no xp disk [12:01] quibbler; i have [12:02] user___; someone told me that using the space in ubuntu to put up as you said decreases the performance?? [12:02] DarkKnight: then start virtual box and install [12:03] DarkKnight: sure, the vbox software emulates a complete second computer [12:03] quibbler; did i give you a clear idea of what my problem is [12:03] is there a command line player that can cope with flac in the repos ? [12:03] DarkKnight, qemu with kqemu module got more speed the vbox [12:03] Incarus, http://paste.ubuntu.com/124695/ there you go [12:04] Incarus; and will i be able to make use of existing XP in another disk?? [12:04] DarkKnight: what is your exact problem...

[12:05] DarkKnight, i used to run 2-4 diablo II bots via it [12:05] Incarus, any luck [12:05] to disable automatically loading the whole GUI, but being able to start X later with startx, would chmod 000 /etc/init.d/gdm be sufficient?

That will reconfigure gdm to the defaults. Then type reboot in the console [13:10] Incarus, I don't think so, everything was cool until I deleted myself! :) [13:10] n2diy, hm [13:10] what was the virtual machine package that is available through synaptic called? [13:11] n2diy, you can delete your user again (but over user manager) and adding a new one [13:11] Incarus, I have the file open now, I'll add myself, and hope for the best, it is a test box, so this is what it exsists for. [13:12] Incarus, can't do that, because I don't have sudo privvies! [13:12] n2diy, could work, but i'm sure that that isnt a problem of /etc/sudoers, it is a bug in hardy [13:12] n2diy, login as root at the login screen [13:12] Incarus, I am root, in the recovery console. [13:13] minimec: autologin is the only way I can log in at the moment [13:13] n2diy, yes, thats a real problem... [13:13] bartbes: Why that? [13:13] n2diy, its not sudoers, try "sudo apt-get -f install" [13:13] Incarus, duh, why don't I just look at sudoer file on this box, that should show me what I need to know! [13:13] Hello, can I compile (target) 32-bit systems when compiling on my ubuntu-64bit? [13:14] minimec: because when it's disabled I get that "Login failed" dialog [13:14] bartbes, 8.10?

[13:35] hello [13:35] GeneralGustav: if it finds a file that matches it will execute the command, {} just means the found file (it will be the absolute bath from /) [13:35] n8tuserf some providers require a hostname and static ip, but this is only if you order a "office class" line [13:35] DizzyDoo -> it does not matter, it could be a client host or a server, whatever is on the lan side of the router..

[13:38] DarkKnight, hm, should working [13:38] n8tuserf: No. I assumed that following the manual would get my router set up. [13:38] where it gets mounted elsewhere, no such perms for sure..

[13:39] dr_Willis, I deleted it but the folders are still in there. They dont show up if I look at the Trash in terminal but if I open the Trash from bottom-right, there they are :( [13:39] Incarus, How is this related to blender? Besides the fact that they are .blends. [13:39] DizzyDoo -> and what ever connects to that router as a device on the lan side, can be a client host, or a server host [13:39] is it possible to save streams with totem? [13:39] hi, where did the samba sharing configuration dialog go? i just created a share in nautilus using the context menu, and now i cant unsahre it :( [13:39] GeneralGustav: after find put a . [13:39] Jufis, i would imagine you deleted the wrong users, or the root users Trash, not the user you are currently running's trash [13:39] , thats no problem of/in ubuntu# [13:39] GeneralGustav: find . -name .... [13:40] Incarus: youve gotta be kidding.. i knew i was forgetting something reeeeeeeeeeally stupid.. thanks mate :p [13:40] caktux, k [13:40] Incarus, What, how to copy a file? You know they will tell me to come straight back here. [13:40] caktux -> you forgotten the 4 years of know how in a jiffy? lol [13:40] Incarus; tried it...but its not coming [13:40] dr_Willis, so where would my trash be? I'm the only user. [13:41] .. where to remove samba shares created with nautilus? [13:41] ActionParsnip, Its not working. I'll figure it out. Thanks for your help. [13:41] GeneralGustav: find . -name "*.mp3" -exec cp {} /directory/to/copy/to \; [13:41] Jufis /home/USERNAME/.local/share/Trash/files [13:41] , it means you have to say how the file should running, try "blender FILE" [13:41] DizzyDoo -> this router you speak of is the same as what you are using now to get into the internet? [13:42] Jufis: you can use $USER instead ;) [13:42] ActionParsnip, what you mean? [13:42] Incarus, The only thing im doing with the file is copying it. [13:42] Jufis: try: echo $USER [13:42] n8tuserf, I'm afraid not, I'm using an older US Robotics wireless router. The router I speak of is a newer Netgear one. [13:42] is there a packet i can apt-get, to get syntax highlighting in vim? or should it be active already?? [13:42] , cp [13:42] is it possible to save video-streams with totem? [13:42] Jufis: it outputs the user who is active in that terminal [13:42] oh [13:42] Incarus: thanks, it works [13:43] ActionParsnip, thanks [13:43] Jufis: so you can use that when giving commands [13:43] Incarus; i had run the command in terminal and opened Opera again...but i still can't watch the video [13:43] DizzyDoo, simple configuration mistake [13:43] bye [13:43] Jufis: if you want to referenct the home dir use ~/ [13:43] , x64 or x86 [13:43] bartbes, np [13:43] Jufis: e.g. cd ~/Desktop [13:43] Incarus; x64 [13:43] ActionParsnip, Silly silly me... It works. Thankyou. [13:43] GeneralGustav: good lad [13:43] GeneralGustav: find and -exec will give you huge power [13:44] Incarus, what are you talking about? I have done no configuration at all, as of yet. My original question was simply: "How do I find out my host name" [13:44] n8tuserf: lol seems so! a couple good hours of sleep should do the trick ;) .. some self promo of my good side after 1380 ppl got aware of that black hole in my head...heheh ;) My latest realisation (except the design and contents feeded by drupal), http://www.lechateau.com/en/style [13:44] DizzyDoo -> old or new, their functionality should be the same, a router "routes" .. please tell us about your netgear router? is it an AP also? [13:44] , install x64 opera with x64 flash [13:44] GeneralGustav: you can use it to find ALL mp3 files and convert them to ogg [13:44] ActionParsnip, Looks like it... Thankyou for showing me! [13:44] , i dont know [13:44] GeneralGustav: and other such stuff [13:44] Incarus; so i need to download again?? [13:44] caktux -> yeah, take a good nap, so you regain your know how and energies [13:45] ActionParsnip, Hehe, I was just trying to copy my .blends but I used .mp3 as an example because not eveyone is familiar with .blends. Thanks again! [13:45] , hm, try it, i dont know much aout opera with x64 flash [13:45] , wait a sec [13:45] Hello, iv been having some problems with firefox on my day old install of ubuntu , it looks like i am missing a font .. http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Azjol-Nerub&n=jameses the hoverover stuff is not showing up and the words "chartaer , talents reputaton" that whole row is not showing any text. [13:45] i have Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) how to enable desktop effects [13:45] , http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=931423 [13:45] n8tuserf: No idea what an AP is, sorry, it's just a normal household router. Upon plugging it into my Linux server, there is no internet connection. The manual for the router talks through how to configure it on Linux, which apparently requires a static IP and a hostname. [13:46] rai, should work out the box? [13:46] GeneralGustav: you can use any globbin, you can even have some logic in the find statement [13:46] quick question , ive installed ubuntu 8.10 on my pc using the alternate install (i have an odd raid setup) .. however im wondering where the Add/remove version of synaptic has gone, and whether i can get it back, i prefer the easy layout [13:46] GeneralGustav: this is why command line is much more usable than gui [13:46] Incarus, I never asked anything about Opera. You must mean something else [13:46] DizzyDoo, sorry, wrong name [13:46] .. where to remove samba shares created with nautilus? [13:46] rai, rich click desktop and click change desktop background, theres a effects tab [13:46] , http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=931423 [13:47] RichW: its not working [13:47] or what its called so i can install it with synaptic [13:47] DizzyDoo -> ahem, look at your older US Robotics, you see a cable attached to a wall? another cable on the lan side connected to your host now? it should be exactly same connectivity for your netgear [13:47] ActionParsnip, dr_Willis, deleted that Trash but didn't help. [13:47] rio: right click and unshare them the way you shared them, or remove their entry in n/etc/samba/smb.conf [13:47] I think they are from a mounted drive... [13:47] so would that trash be in the same place? [13:47] !trash [13:47] The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [13:47] ActionParsnip, Agreed. Once you know what you want you can excecute it in one simple command. I'll have to get my step dad to show me a few more tricks like this -exec lol. [13:47] n8tuserf: I would of thought so too, however I'm not getting any internet connection through it. Why would that be? [13:47] i have to go now [13:47] bye [13:47] ActionParsnip: context menu dialog tells me its not shared, and no entry in smb.conf, though after restarting samba its still there [13:47] any1? [13:47] GeneralGustav: -exec is awesome [13:47] hi. can anyone help me with a LAMP/wordpress install on a localhost? when i try and open .../wp-admin/install.php in firefox I get a "forbidden you don't have permission to to access..." any ideas? [13:48] RichW:even compiz-check passed..but no effects [13:48] rio: then share it, then unshare it [13:48] hello,everyone [13:48] which antivirus do you suggest for ubuntu? [13:48] DizzyDoo -> well thats because it has to be configured first, just like your USRobotics that had to be configured too before your ISP can dole out an ip address to it, like log-in name to your ISP, etc [13:48] rio: sort of put sharing on what it thinks is shared, then when you remove it it will hopefully unshare it [13:49] ActionParsnip: hm, worked, thanks [13:49] I am a new player, and I want to have a try. [13:49] n8tuserf: Righto, how should I go about configuring it? If the manual is talking rubbish about static Ips and hostnames? [13:49] DizzyDoo -> so kindly read the manual of your netgear, is it the netgear 614L newest model? [13:49] rio: i used to look after a uniix system like that, to deny access you had to give a user access then take it away, weird [13:49] how to show hidden files in terminal? [13:49] Jufis: ls -a [13:50] thanks [13:50] I'd like to get one that will protect other window machines.. and my own.. any ideas? [13:50] how can i save video-streams with totem? [13:50] n8tuserf: the router is a DG634 (version 4). I've read the manual, but it says I need a static IP to install and configure on Linux and I need to know my host name [13:51] DizzyDoo -> make sure you are reading the correct section, are you referring to the ISP side or lan side? [13:51] am I stating the obvious that DWM doesn't support bitstream/déjà vu? [13:51] * n8tuserf boils water to get a cup of joe [13:52] <|f|> could someone post an url, I need to test a little script [13:52] n8tuserf: I have no idea, it's just the "Install and Configurel Router on Linux" section [13:52] |f|: www.bmezine.com [13:52] <|f|> ActionParsnip: danke [13:52] dr_Willis, okay, I found the directories from /media/Data/.Trash-1000 but can't delete them. it says "Directory not empty". [13:53] julle_: you could try sudo rm-rf but be massively careful, its very aggressive [13:53] DizzyDoo -> well also try to get an idea, i have hinted to you to do a tutorial on networking, and I also have indicated that there are two sides to the router, towards ISP and a local lan right? [13:53] julle_: and can delete stuff you need if missexecuted [13:53] julle_: but if used correctly it can be useful [13:54] ActionParsnip, I tried sudo rm -rf but still get the same error [13:54] n8tuserf: Yes, you have. I wouldn't think I would have to take a course in networking to install an off the shelf router. [13:55] Hello, iv been having some problems with firefox on my day old install of ubuntu , it looks like i am missing a font .. http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Azjol-Nerub&n=jameses the hoverover stuff is not showing up and the words "chartaer , talents reputaton" that whole row is not showing any text. [13:55] Can I look up a PID to see what it is?? [13:55] Jufis: try deleting the files one by one with: sudo rm -f [13:55] Hi, I have a problem with my network card working in ubuntu, and found [with some help] this bug report.. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11073 ... however there are 2 possible bug-cases.. How can I differentiate between them [13:55] DizzyDoo -> no you dont have to take a whole course, but you have to get an idea of the terminologies, and and idea of which side is which? get it? [13:56] ActionParsnip, okay I'll try [13:56] GeneralGustav: ps -ef | grep [13:56] ActionParsnip, Hehe. Thankyou for being so helpful! [13:56] DizzyDoo -> and the manual for installation does not have a picture? pictures is worth a thousand words eh [13:56] GeneralGustav: ps -p -f [13:56] GeneralGustav: np man, youu are using terminal which is where i am good [13:57] GeneralGustav: actually, if you use the as the last argument, you don't even have to use -p [13:57] ActionParsnip: Mind helping me interpret a bug report quick? [13:57] ActionParsnip, PTS seems to be using /mnt and I want to unmount..... Would it be safe to kill?? [13:57] n8tuserf: I apologise that I do not understand the technical terms, but all I really need to know to follow the set up guide in the manual is how to get my hostname. [13:58] GeneralGustav: you could use: lsof | grep mnt | less [13:58] ActionParsnip, "rm: cannot remove '****': it is a directory" [13:58] GeneralGustav: see whats open on it [13:58] GeneralGustav: or "fuser -m /mnt" [13:58] Jufis: is that the actual error? [13:58] ActionParsnip, there are no files, only empty directories that have some empty sub-directories [13:58] ActionParsnip, yes [13:58] Hi [13:59] I am using the internet through Ubuntu [13:59] Jufis: never seen one with asterisks in, creepy [13:59] Jufis: try tab completing [13:59] Guys i run ubuntu on a pen drive. how do i check space left on my pen drive? I confess i asked this same question some days ago but forgot the command [13:59] ActionParsnip, Bash?!? [13:59] and I want to share that connection with another computer using XP [13:59] AHH! Im an IDIOT [13:59] ActionParsnip, the folder's name supposed to be there, I just replaced it with asterisks because all folders give same error [14:00] using wireless connection [14:00] DizzyDoo -> am at the Netgear web site, your product is DG634 not a DG834? 634 does not show up on the list [14:00] GeneralGustav: probably your own shell :) [14:00] LOL Yes... [14:00] oh god... [14:00] !ics > neer [14:00] neer, please see my private message [14:00] Does anyone have any idea about it? [14:00] n8tuserf: Yes, sorry, you are correct [14:00] neer: check your private messages [14:01] Jufis: you could launch you file browser with gksudo then delete the folders in there [14:01] ActionParsnip, when I try to delete with rm -rf it says "directory not empty". but when I look at what's inside of it, there's nothing (no hidden files or anything) [14:01] ActionParsnip, I didnt realize being in that dir with the command line would cause issues LOL. Now I know.. [14:02] Im glad i didnt kill it...

[14:03] !sound | sdf2 [14:03] sdf2: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [14:03] sdf2: this may help [14:03] DizzyDoo -> lets go over this manual okay? ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/DG834Gv5_SM_31Mar08.pdf [14:04] n8tuserf: Sure, probably won't make a difference but my router is version 4, rather than version 5, but oh well :) [14:04] ActionParsnip, lol. I made a file in one of the folders and tried to delete it. "Directory not empty". Then I checked the folder and the file had been deleted but the folder remains and can't be deleted. [14:04] DizzyDoo -> okay go to page 14 and you see how it connects to the telephone outlet ? [14:05] double click volume control?

[14:06] DizzyDoo -> page 15 would show a total connectivity too [14:06] julle_: that will make the folder accessible to anybody ever and your username will be the owner [14:06] julle_: ignore that, Jufis yeah i meant you [14:06] ActionParsnip, k. let's try [14:06] !virus | old [14:06] old: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [14:07] old, avast [14:08] how can i save video-streams with totem?

[14:18] votaguz: /usr/bin/python is likely what you're looking for [14:18] Thanks :) [14:18] n8tuserf: That is where it says you need a static IP, a DNS address, an "internet login and password" (?) and a host and domain name. [14:18] votaguz: you could also try running "which python" to find its path [14:18] :O [14:18] :D [14:19] rainchen: open the configuration editor and go to apps/metacity/global_keybindinds [14:20] rainchen: either through metacity or xbindkeys: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79560 [14:20] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/38994 <-- anyone want to explain where I can find \drivers\nets\sis190.c that "john zhang" refers to?

I need to link gnash to icevat but libgnashplugin.so is missing in /usr/lib/gnash. [14:21] rainchen: look for panel main menu [14:21] n8tuserf: How can you be sure? A static IP is also called a fixed address [14:21] hi, when I try to cat /proc/cpuinfo it takes a really long time? i'm controlling the server through ssh and don't have any other access to it... how to fix this? yesterday it wasn't slow :S [14:21] DizzyDoo -> anyhow, do you have the answer for all those? what is your type of subscription from your ISP? [14:21] DizzyDoo -> am sure [14:22] old, try rhythmbox or gtkpod [14:22] thanks.. [14:22] n8tuserf: But if it were a typo that would be like saying "You need an IP address". I have a Business subscription from Tiscali. === dhalsim is now known as dhalsimm [14:23] dhalsim: (my) libgnashplugin.so was installed from package "mozilla-plugin-gnash" [14:23] DizzyDoo -> okay if it was a business subscription then you have a static ip address, do you know what that is? [14:23] quibbler: where is the "configuration editor"? === automatix is now known as ortsvorsteher [14:24] rainchen: system tools [14:24] DizzyDoo -> does it appear on same outlet as where your USRobotics is attached to know ? or you have a separate outlet ? [14:24] thanks mchelen... [14:24] rainchen: Applications -> System Tools -> Configuration Editor [14:24] quibbler: do you mean the "Keyboard Shortcuts" ? [14:24] and does anyone know of a CDisplay for comics? [14:24] n8tuserf: Unfortunately, Tiscali have not yet set up the static IP address, I'll have to wait for that. What do you mean outlet? [14:24] rainchen: after that go to apps -> metacity -> keybinding_commands, and now choose a command [14:25] rainchen: no run in a terminal gconf-editor [14:25] hi [14:25] DizzyDoo -> see page 14, see how it connects to the wall ? [14:25] n8tuserf: then in that case, very same outlet [14:26] DizzyDoo -> are you using the current services now from your ISP or they promised you that will be installed much later? [14:26] i have a question... let's say i have a file named "test" and in that file there are words "evil evil evil evil" in every line and somewhere in between those lines there is a word "evi" (without L) how do i find that word with grep ? cat test | grep evi print's everything [14:26] There is no "Configuration Editor" in the "System Tools" menu.

[14:28] if the nvidia hardware drivers don't work, there really isnt a way around that ....yes? [14:28] I guess I will have to return my computer. Tried installing ubuntu last night and it gave me a CD/DVD error and when I went to load up Vista again I get just a black screen with a cursor. This laptop came with no recovery CD or Windows Vista CD. [14:28] I am still within 15 days since I bought it at Wal-Mart so they should take it back [14:29] What is the easiest way to update an Ubuntu system that has no internet connection. I'm looking for a way to avoid manual downloads (and dependency hell) [14:29] n8tuserf: No, they don't recommend a router, and the one they send in the post is absolute rubbish. This netgear router is the highest rated one on ebuyer.com so I decided it was a pretty safe bet. [14:29] Mornin' folks [14:29] I assume during the attempt to install ubuntu it erased windows off the computer [14:30] can someone tell me a program in ubuntu for making webpages?... I used to use Frontpage and would like something to do some simple web pages with [14:30] DizzyDoo -> tell you what, you dont need to hook it up to the wall yet, follow the steps on page 16, it would not be connected yet to your ISP but we can configure your router only [14:32] anyone has bugzilla3 install in ibex? why is the skin so plain. [14:32] n8tuserf: Hmm, I have already tried the steps on page 16, typing in http://192.168.0.1 brings up a 404 error, despite me being connected to the Netgear router wirelessly. [14:33] DizzyDoo, try http://192.168.1.1 [14:34] bardyr: I actually tried that too :P and 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.2.2 just to be sure. [14:34] hi i downloaded tilracerbut the window opens and close imediatly [14:34] how can i get my ip offline? [14:34] DizzyDoo -> how do you verify that you are really connected to the netgear wirelessly? [14:35] n8tuserf: I use my US Robotics wireless software to scan for the router, it finds it, and then I connect and it says "Successful". I can see the signal strength after that. [14:36] DizzyDoo -> not adequate, what is the ip address assigned to your box now? is it in the 192.168.0.x range also? [14:36] hi i downloaded tilracer, but the window opens and close imediatly [14:36] does anyone know where I can download a Windows Vista Recovery Disc? [14:36] my computer did not come with one [14:37] Hi, I have a problem: Baobab tells me that there are 16,7 Gb worth of files in my file system (/), but that 40.4Bg are actually being used. [14:37] there is no disk space left on my ubuntu. How do i purge my /tmp folder? I mean just click and delete or some safer way? [14:37] i'm having an asus laptop with integrated soundcard, and an usb soundcard, and my problem is that when i use an OSS program like Teamspeak, which plays sound with OSS, it plays my sound to my integrated soundcard instead of my usb soundcard, while programs use alsa play sound to my usb soundcard [14:37] n8tuserf: When I type a ifconfig command, I get 192.168.0.2 as the address (it's written twice for some reason) [14:37] hunt577: does Vista let you make one? [14:37] is there a way to fix this? [14:37] not sue Raiders32 [14:38] I am just worried that if Wal-Mart sees it won't load windows, they won't grant my return [14:38] hunt557 http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ [14:38] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/38994 <-- anyone want to explain where I can find \drivers\nets\sis190.c that "john zhang" refers to?

[14:39] i have reflashed my bios now i an't shut down properly the system just hangs [14:39] well maybe its easier for me to switch back to debian... [14:39] hunt577: do you know how to create an image of your hard drive? [14:39] sdf2: ubuntu isnt for everyone [14:39] DizzyDoo -> something is amiss with your troubleshooting, no such command ifconfig on xp [14:39] no I don't Raiders32 [14:39] yes i feel this [14:40] 3 days of nonstop messing and my soundcard still not working [14:40] sdf2: isnt for everyone [14:40] n8tuserf: Oh, sorry no, I typed that in on the server box, apologies, misunderstood [14:40] DizzyDoo -> so lets get it straight, i hate to get wrong informations [14:40] sdf2: try a few distros see which you like [14:40] for some reason I can't get the livecd on ubuntu to find my wireless connection [14:40] can someone suggest a good torrent program for ubuntu? [14:40] need to be able to connect to the internet [14:40] this one is good unless u can't setup sound [14:40] Hunt557>> i think client BItTorent (it cimes whit unbutu) [14:41] hunt577: i didn't see jeremie's recommendation. that web link should help [14:41] old: deluge [14:41] anyone I have reflashed my bios now i can't shut down properly the system just hangs [14:41] thank you [14:41] alsa-oss package worked fine on my other computer with debian but i can't make it work with ubuntu [14:41] DizzyDoo -> do you have a browser on your server?

[14:41] quibbler: thanks.. and do you or anyone else know of a good DC++ program? [14:41] its internal [14:41] Hi, I have a problem: Baobab tells me that there are 16,7 Gb worth of files in my file system (/), but that 40.4Bg are actually being used. I keep deleting files, but it always comes back to being full. [14:42] hunt577: I had to use a wired connection before Ubuntu would be able to locate and download the wireless drivers [14:42] n8tuserf: A browser? No, the OS is Ubuntu Server, which is totally on the Command Line, so I don't think it has a browser [14:42] old: i don't [14:42] is everything , all the serious looking folders in the /tmp folder dispensable?

[16:16] thankx [16:16] CrazyLemon: system > prefs > power management [16:16] shavin: See the link that I posted to you. [16:16] Hello, everybody! just a couple of question for the interested in answering them: [16:16] 1] my CD drive does not work under Ubuntu 8.10 [at least, not for the playing of music CD's] and I do not have a clue as to how to fix it; [16:16] 2] I am trying to find a tabbed dual-paned file manager for Gnome, but the only mentions on the Web so far are not even being listed on my system whenever I perform a search for new programs [all sources...] [16:16] open file browser (nautilus [16:16] Cyclist: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:17] I just increased my RAM which was 512 MB and now it's 1GB [16:17] Gartral1: edit -> preferences > Media tab [16:17] I am not sure if Ubuntu has increased my SWAP space accordingly or not [16:17] anyone interested, please send me a private message, ok? [16:17] Thank you, very much! [16:17] Hi I often get messages like this "Depends: libpq5 (=8.3.1-1) but 8.3.5-0ubuntu0.8.04 is to be installed" how do I get around that in a smooth way? [16:17] Gartral1: for Music Player, choose "Do Nothing" [16:17] ftab No, it cant do that by itself [16:17] ftab no it has not [16:17] so I would need to modify that explicitly ? [16:18] ftab yes [16:18] ftab yes, you would. It is a partition and you would need to resize it [16:18] how ? :-) [16:18] glenrock: THANK YOU! [16:18] anybody have any experience running multiple internet connections at a time? I'm having trouble with my routing tables [16:18] Gartral1: welcome :D [16:18] ftab first lets verify you actually need more swap [16:18] Would it be possible to encrypt a partition and still have my Hardy and Jaunty partitions be able to access it? [16:19] J-_ -> yes it is possible, its when you need to mount it, where you need to supply the credentials [16:19] has anybody here backup evolution and restore the backup file so that you where able to save all your settings and mail? [16:19] Or at least have a password prompt when I try to access the mounted partition? [16:19] hi, ubuntu doesn't recognise my sata harddrive (NTFS) on some occasions when resuming from standby, why could this be and how can it be fixed? the ext3 partitioned drive is accessible on wake up. [16:19] tiredbones: tar -cf backup.tar ~/.evolution [16:19] ok sure, When I installed ubuntu 8.10 I had 512 MB RAM and now I increased that to 1GB, also I let Ubuntu create SWAP partition for me [16:20] ftab What does free tell you [16:20] staticvector sudo fdisk -l will show you the size of your swap partition [16:20] hi, guys! [16:20] Is there areason why I can't compile bash from GNU's source? [16:21] Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124809/ [16:21] ty [16:21] Hey... does any of you guys know if this can work on ubuntu? : http://www.tenda.cn/product/show.php?productid-337.html [16:21] There is no reason to run fdisk to find out the sizes [16:21] I had this error that "C compiler can't generate executables" both in bash 4.0 and 3.2.48 [16:21] storbeck: gdb is not for me :-( i am just a lay user [16:21] ftab: cat /proc/partitions [16:21] antoranz: have you installed build-essential? [16:21] does anyone here know about bind9 [16:22] !ask | NativeAngels [16:22] NativeAngels: 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. :-) [16:22] storbeck: what will that do? [16:22] ftab Yur are fine.. dont bother resizing your partition [16:22] ftab: It will show your partitions layout & sizes [16:22] i see [16:22] anyone? [16:22] ftab you have 1.5 gig swap [16:22] crdlb: yes, it's installed [16:22] Jack_Sparrow how do you say that, that's fine, Sorry I am new bie [16:22] :) [16:22] storbeck -> using cat /proc/partitions does not tell you what file system is on it though [16:23] crdlb: yea..those are the default settings that are too bright :) [16:23] ftab You have 1.5 times your ram as swap space and you are currently using no- swap [16:23] antoranz: hmm, no idea, you could try apt-get build dep bash [16:23] n8tuserf: On an ubuntu install, swap is last [16:23] is there a way to roll back my updates to a previous state? [16:23] storebeck, I used dar and backup my all of home directory. I then restored my home directory in a tmp file system. I restored .evoulution to my current home directory. I'm still not able to get at my old mail. === fargiola` is now known as fargiolas [16:24] like the option in windows? [16:24] storbeck -> how would you know which one is ntfs from that list? you dont..so fdisk -l gives you an extra info [16:24] hmm that's cool :-) I am happy that guys like you are on Ubuntu channel which encourage people to use Ubuntu and also people get motivated [16:24] :) === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [16:24] antoranz: apt-get build-dep that is [16:24] i do not want to loose my pen drive intrepid! [16:25] what does that do? remember I downloaded the raw sources from gnu [16:25] n8tuserf: Lets just agree that there are multiple ways to find what he's looking for and both are good depending on what it's being used for. [16:25] CrazyLemon: there's a brightness slider for when on AC power, but not for battery power; that's really weird [16:25] storbeck which is why I suggested sudo fdisk -l earlier as it actually shows the swap partition as swap [16:25] No reason to argue. [16:25] shavin: not directly [16:25] storbeck -> agreable [16:25] antoranz: it installs the build dependencies of the bash source package === novacrust is now known as NOBODY === Jay is now known as Guest6487 [16:26] crdlb: yea i agree === NOBODY is now known as novacrust === Guest6487 is now known as Karloo [16:26] why does apt-get install subversion install mysql packages? [16:26] ubuntu [16:26] how can i get a drive to spin up? One of my drives is not being picked up by ubuntu after resuming from standby. [16:27] CrazyLemon: Use DimScreen [16:27] user_: there must be way to save my installation. things have gone wrong. linux is so flexible. is there a way to make things back to normal? [16:27] ubuntu [16:27] the drive is formatted as NTFS, not sure if thats causing the problems [16:27] rampageoberon is it external? [16:27] Jack_Sparrow: no its an internal drive [16:27] hey i have a question about bluetooth [16:27] can anybody translate this for me? Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/i386/dl-machine.h: 550: elf_machine_rel_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xff) == 8' failed! [16:27] ubuntu [16:27] shavin: its only mysql client packages [16:27] I'm trying to bind a channel with rfcomm [16:28] shavin: sorry [16:28] Dual Intel Xeon 2.8GHz CPU + 2G mem + 100G hd for 120 bux... seems cheap but i dont know why i want to haggle for 100 [16:28] Sonderblade: its only mysql client packages [16:28] and i put into the terminal sudo rfcomm bind /dev/rfcomm0 [16:28] but no device is created [16:28] and i receive no error [16:28] what am I doing wrong? [16:28] user_: it still makes no sense [16:29] ubuntu [16:29] shavin: you can deinstall any program easily, but reversing version numbers is not easy. [16:29] shavin: How did you install the packages? [16:29] if I dd a whole drive, it will include the MBR, right? [16:29] lchi Please try to keep your question all on one line. give details. Are you following a tutorial, what wifi card are you dealiung with etc [16:29] storbeck: through update manager [16:29] mobodo_ yes === jw is now known as Guest11279 [16:29] Sonderblade: i dont know of the details, but say subversion has a mysql bridge ande the packagers decided its worth including for ubuntu.. [16:29] mobodo_ -> your destination better have as much space [16:29] what is this? [16:29] storbeck: as google tells me DimScreen is for Windows only..so ..DimSCreen + wine works fine? :) [16:30] ubuntu [16:30] like dd -if /dev/sda -of /dev/sdb, I should be able to boot from /dev/sdb after if I was booting from /dev/sda before? [16:30] I have Feisty Ubuntu installed right now, I notice they no longer support this distro.. what should i upgrade to and how do i Do it from commandline only?

[16:30] mobodo_ -> no, you have to modify your bios too [16:30] tell Crixsat, that i had to go [16:30] Karloo: stop it [16:30] stop what [16:30] tell Brixsat, that i had to go [16:30] now there are three main problems, ubuntu says no disk space, whereas there is. second the firefox thing, thirdly some app crash report is coming again and again. [16:30] bye === ivanoats|away is now known as ivanoats [16:31] noname- You would need to rebuild your sources list to the special repos, go through the uddate and upgrade then distro-upgrade... I suggest a fresh install as that is a lot of d/l's [16:31] and now when i try to run update manager again, it says failed to fetch some packages [16:31] error 404 [16:31] CrazyLemon: DimScreen is not for Windows only [16:31] ubuntu [16:31] =-= YOU (thomasdelbeke) have been booted from #ubuntu-security by ChanServ (Invite only channel) [16:31] Jack_Sparrow: any ideas or is reboot my only option? [16:31] Is this correct? [16:31] Karloo: repeating "ubuntu" all the time [16:31] but it's correct [16:32] shavin: which version of ubuntu are you using? [16:32] Karloo: huh? [16:32] intrepid [16:32] Jack_Sparrow: upgrade and dist-upgrade do not work, as it complains about not being able to fetch sources/packages from the URLs in my sourcelist [16:32] rampageoberon no idea but I would google up that dirve info and ubuntu and see what you get [16:32] user_: it has no mysql bridge. subversion is a version control system and mysql is a database, there is no relation between them [16:32] myrtti: ubuntu is correct [16:32] user_: ubuntu 8.10 [16:32] Karloo: correct for what? [16:32] noname- YOu ignored the first part of what I told you [16:32] where can I look to figure out why my old laptop (1.6ghz, 256mb ram) hangs completely as soon as I log in ? [16:33] Hi people, is ubuntu-security an invite only channel? [16:33] Sonderblade: launchpad, maybe they already have a report discussing it.. [16:33] noname- If you get the sources right it can find the packages [16:33] =-= YOU (thomasdelbeke) have been booted from #ubuntu-security by ChanServ (Invite only channel) [16:33] thomasdelbeke yes [16:33] degrit same if you logon via console? ctrl+alt+f1 ? [16:33] noname-: see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes. As Jack pointed out upgrade is a looong way, since you have to go through gutsy and hardy [16:33] how can i save video-streams with totem? [16:33] degrit: Looks like a graphics error. I often had that with ATI cards... [16:33] CrazyLemon: Are you trying to increase the brightness, or decrease it? [16:33] oCean_: ok, so downloading and reinstalling is a better option? [16:33] Hi oCean_ [16:33] n8tuserf, at what point do I press ctrl-alt-f1 ? and it does load the desktop, then it hangs [16:33] noname- yes, by far [16:33] degrit -> do it now [16:33] noname-: indeed [16:34] myrtti: saying ubuntu is correct [16:34] Jack_Sparrow: aye! :) [16:34] whats the command to sync all waiting data to a flash drive/external drive? [16:34] Karloo: no it's not, you're saying ubuntu without a meaning, adding useless noise to the already busy channel. Stop it. [16:34] n8tuserf, the laptop is currently on the menu for the recovery mode - I assume I should get to the logon screen ? [16:34] oCean_: thats ok i guess, its just too bad the computer is way out of reach and i have no monitor hookup :\ ohwell [16:34] storbeck: decrease it..so i can increase battery lifetime ..i tried fn + f7 /f8 ..but no success ..tried to set it up on hotkeys setup..but the damn thing just doesnt recognize it [16:34] degrit -> console does not have gui, but i'd like you to test-- if you logging in -- works okay?

Packages are available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok [16:35] I used these instruction for backing up my home dir before upgrading to 8.10, but i used DAR instead of TAR. After the upgrade I extracted my files from the cd to a tmp file on disk. I then removed the new .evolution and /gconf/apps/evolution. Last I copied these file to my tmp directory to my current home directory. Did I miss a step? I can not get at my old mail. [16:35] degrit -> you are trying to do what? you somehow did not provide a complete info [16:35] Karloo: stop it. [16:35] n8tuserf, if I press ctrl alt f1 from the logon screen nothing happens [16:35] Jack_Sparrow: already tried that, not much help there (probably not suing the right search terms) [16:35] stop what? ubuntu is correct [16:36] Karloo: shut up [16:36] anyway going to have to reboot by the looks of things [16:36] degrit -> you sure? how about ctrl+alt+f2 ? [16:36] thanks :) [16:36] CrazyLemon: pastebin the output of cd /proc/acpi; find . -name brigtness [16:36] np [16:36] I used these instruction http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/12/03/how-to-backup-evolution/ for backing up my home dir before upgrading to 8.10, but i used DAR instead of TAR. After the upgrade I extracted my files from the cd to a tmp file on disk. I then removed the new .evolution and /gconf/apps/evolution. Last I copied these file to my tmp directory to my current home directory. Did I miss a step? I can not get at my old mail. [16:36] n8tuserf, I take that back, it shows the console logon, albeit with some odd graphics glitch on the screen [16:36] Hi there, I think Mallory placed an extra chip on my motherboard, where to ask? [16:36] whats the command to sync all waiting data to a flash drive/external drive? [16:36] oCean_: Will I have to backup all my files when upgrading? [16:36] n8tuserf, I am logged in at the console prompt [16:36] degrit -> then try to log on. to test your user.. [16:36] degrit so it works.. [16:37] Gartral1: it's "sync" I guess... If the device is on the laptop, you could also right-click and choose unmount volume. It will do the sync first [16:37] n8tuserf, I am also able to start a xterm session [16:37] noname-: backup is *alway* a wise thing to do.. Especially before major actions like upgrading. [16:37] degrit -> actually you are already in a console, no need to start an xterm [16:37] n8tuserf, true that, just mentioning [16:37] Hi all! Weird. Vista can wake itself from hibernate to do updates. [16:38] ciao [16:38] oCean_: i know how to unmount it, and thats what i don't want to do, i want to synk data without unmounting [16:38] thomasdelbeke: do a google search on th P/N on the chip, that'll tell you what it does. [16:38] lista [16:38] Gartral1: its 'sync' indeed ;-) [16:38] gui doe not have a sync.... [16:38] does* [16:38] I am not entirely sure which chip it is, [16:39] Gartral1: no it's command for commandline [16:39] oCean_: i figured, how do i sync from withing gnome/nautilus? [16:39] hi [16:40] o/ [16:40] Gartral1 -> i dont think you can, but you can create a gui from the launcher and the command behind it is sync [16:40] CrazyLemon: Actually, just apt-get install xbacklight [16:40] Gartral1: only way I can think of and enter 'sync' as command to run [16:40] Then use something like xbacklight -set 40 [16:41] Gartral1: oCean_ +1 [16:41] at the root of the drive i wish to sync? [16:41] storbeck: tnx..will try that now :) [16:41] Gartral1: anywhere [16:41] brb [16:42] How can I use an Evolution adressbook on a Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer on another Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer in the same LAN?

Hopefully within 6 months I'll be rid windows [18:13] slide, do the letters appear when you are using the arrow keys?

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [18:14] slide, you are describing exactly what happens when i forget to install the full. :) the reason for it - is that the arrowes are sending 'escape' codes. and thus kicking you out of insert mode. [18:14] slide: install "vim" vim-tiny is a sad excuse for a text editor [18:14] arrows keys working, that doesnt sound like it should be an 'extra' feature lol [18:14] vim-tiny works good if you alter the key codes [18:14] anyone?

[18:15] slide, originally vi dident use tha arrow keys anyway :) thats a new feature in pcs :) heh well was new in 1980's [18:15] Zykotic: vim-tiny doesn't have modes [18:15] Zykotic, yea [18:15] 1980 ha [18:15] 'new' cant even be described now adays by things 6 months old hehe [18:15] Arrow keys send escape code.. thats what gets you out of insert mode.. thus you see the extra code it also sends. [18:15] dr_Willis: That's like saying casettes are new :P [18:16] Flannel, slide I have the exact same problem with vi (and if the default ubuntu is lite - it certainly has insert mode) [18:16] storbeck, i still have a casset-recorder for my C64! :) [18:16] Ha!

[18:29] so since I can't get my wireless working on ubuntu, really no point in me having it, so can anyone assist with uninstalling it? [18:29] last night I updated my ubuntu on my laptop. I get on today and have no internet. Checked network connections and for some reason the connections for friends and family are there but not my home connection. So I set up my home connection manually but ubuntu still doesnt see my wireless router. any ideas? [18:29] !uninstall [18:29] To learn how to uninstall applications in Ubuntu - please visit http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-delete-remove-software-using-apt-get-command/ [18:30] hunt577: well the problem is.. its the only operating system you have on the PC. [18:30] ph8 yeah desktop use [18:30] i'm tempted to say 32 [18:30] although i'm a 64 desktop user [18:30] pronoy: found apt-get --no-download [18:30] ph8: because of the amount of ram right? [18:30] unless you're doing number crunching i don't know that there are massive benefits, if you google it you'll find a lot of comparisons [18:30] How would I make my storage partition writable with my current user? would, 'sudo chown user:user /dev/sda4' work? [18:30] unless you've got a seroius amount of ram i don't think 64 bit's necessary like it is on windows [18:31] IndyGunFreak, yes I understand. I just bought this computer a few days ago and I can take it back, just need to have ubuntu off of it when I do....if all it gets is a blank screen with no OS when I pull it up thats fine, just can't have ubuntu on it [18:31] J-_: Mount the drive, then use chown -R (recursive) to do all files under a folder [18:31] hunt577: well.. i guess thats .. i'd try booting a gparted CD, and format the drive. [18:31] pronoy: apt-get -u upgraded ? does that work (i have no update-missing machine at the moment ;-) [18:31] pronoy: apt-get -u upgrade ? does that work (i have no update-missing machine at the moment ;-) [18:32] IndyGunFreak, where do I get one of those from? [18:32] Geez, this is messed up [18:32] hunt577: google partedmagic.. [18:32] hunt577: If you have a LiveCD you can use that (it has gparted on it) [18:32] hi, I have an eMachines computer. please help [18:32] hunt577, can you not trade the current wifi card with a compatible one from wherever you purchased the computer [18:32] i always forget that. [18:33] exodus_ms the wifi card is built into the lap top [18:33] exodus_ms: its pretty unlikely [18:33] hunt577: well, its probably a mini-pci card [18:33] hunt577, ok, late to the convo [18:33] cornballer, emachines makes a lot of differnt computers.. [18:33] exodus_ms no problem [18:33] or at least they did. :) [18:33] user_: the problem is i am not logged into my machine at the moment [18:34] hmmm . . . i just had an idea, i have a large family, maybe i could setup a vpn with them? [18:35] hunt577, well, you could always disable that built in wifi and use a usb or pcmia card [18:35] last night I updated my ubuntu on my laptop. I get on today and have no internet. Checked network connections and for some reason the connections for friends and family are there but not my home connection. So I set up my home connection manually but ubuntu still doesnt see my wireless router. any ideas? === evantandersen is now known as charliehorse55 === ACorb is now known as acorb [18:35] exodus_ms but shouldn't the built in wifi work? It worked yesterday on ubuntu when I ran the live cd [18:35] yet when I installed it....it doesn't work [18:35] that is strange [18:36] pronoy: just put it down and test it when you can. trial and error. people here will be glad to help you further then [18:36] hunt577, then it should work, unless the live cd uses the host os for the wifi connection? [18:36] yeah [18:36] user_: thanks man [18:36] !pulseaudio [18:36] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [18:36] hunt577: google search "wireless works on livecd, not on install" [18:36] exodus_ms: ? there is no host OS on a live cd.. it runs from the cd [18:36] That was when I still had Windows on my computer as well exodus_ms and when I installed ubuntu it wiped Windows out [18:37] hunt577: many people have had the same problem [18:37] IndyGunFreak, ya, I thought maybe he had windoze installed (running the live cd ontopof windoze) [18:37] martin_henry is there a workaround? I would think Linux would have a fix to get it working [18:37] hunt577: have you determined what wireless device or chipset you have? [18:37] IndyGunFreak, got it now? [18:37] exodus_ms: still doens';'t make sense, but ok [18:38] I am very confused why when I start ubuntu sometimes I am in 1600x1200 and other times I am in 800x600...is there a way to fix that? I seem stuck in 800x600 now...the last few boots. [18:38] martin_henry I have Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100 === ZeRo_FeniX_ is now known as ZeRo_FeniX [18:38] hunt577: If it works with the liveCD, you'll almost certainly be able to get it working with a proper install. [18:38] IndyGunFreak, If he has windoze installed and he runs a live cd I was just curious if the live cd uses the 'host' in this case 'windoze' for the wifi connection [18:38] exodus_ms: to use a "live cd" you reboot, so windows doesn't load [18:39] i'd like to convert a vob file with two audio tracks in it to a xvid file and choose the second audio track to be converted into the xvid file. with this, i automatically get the first audio track in the xvid file: mencoder input.vob -o output.avi -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=800 -oac mp3lame [18:39] Flannel, just loaded live cd and its not working on it anymore....it only worked on the livecd when I still had windows installed [18:39] hunt577: that doesn't make much sense, but if you say so. [18:39] can you force the driver...you know tell ubuntu that it will be okay... :) [18:39] I have ubuntu 8.0X on my laptop. I have the 8.1 CD and it is added as a source in the repositories. How do I get it to upgrade the distribution? apt-get dist-upgrade? Or should I rather do it through Synaptic? [18:40] hunt577: what version of ubuntu? everything i read says that your device is supported by kernel 2.6.26 or later [18:40] !dist-upgrade | Ascavasaion [18:40] Ascavasaion: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [18:40] martin_henry it is ubuntu 8.10 [18:40] IndyGunFreak, well, this does not make sense, even if windoze is not running, for some reason without windoze he cannot run a live cd [18:40] thank you IndyGunFreak and ubottu [18:40] Oh.. ubottu = boit hehe [18:40] exodus_ms: thus my point, he's not making sense [18:40] bot [18:40] hunt577: or you may need to configure networkmanager [18:41] exodus_ms I feel a driver may have gotten deleted somehow when I installed ubuntu [18:41] IndyGunFreak, cool [18:41] hunt577: if you have time, i read a suggestion that said to try to boot to livecd and reinstall while internet is connected [18:41] hi, I watched paul blart and now my computer doesn't load up [18:41] greetings. anyone familiar with geany here? [18:41] #ubuntu_tr [18:41] is there a special channel for 9.04 testing? [18:41] folke: #ubuntu+1 [18:41] hey can anyone gimme the link to the pulseaudio for hardy problem solved [18:41] ?? [18:42] i'm trying to run r scripts under geany [18:42] ph8: Could I just gksu nautilus and change permissions to user? [18:42] IndyGunFreak, I am just telling how its been on my computer. I ran livecd before I installed ubuntu....wireless worked. Then I went to install it. The first installation attempt failed. When I turned back on the computer, windows was gone....so tried livecd again and wireless was not working....went ahead and installed ubuntu successfully the 2nd time and still no wireless [18:43] hunt577 please query me [18:43] hunt577: well, something doesn't make sense, because one is unrelated to the other.. if windows doesn't load (which it doesn't when you run a live CD), how do you expect the live CD to access the internet, through windows [18:43] hunt577: Have you gone through the wireless troubleshooting wikipage yet? [18:44] IndyGunFreak, it may not have been using Windows, I know Windows did not pull up that time since I was using the livecd, I just know that first time with livecd wireless worked [18:44] hunt577: my suggestion is just boot to livecd until you get wireless again, then run lspci and dmesg to see what's going on [18:44] Hello. I get "pulseaudio[5718]: alsa-util.c: Cannot find fallback mixer control "PCM" ... I now have no audio on my machine. Any ideas ? I urgently need to have audio working.

[18:46] hi [18:46] hunt577, ok, is this correct? You have a laptop (version?) running windoze (version?). You installed a live CD and rebooted. Ubuntu came up in a Live Seesion and you had a look around, wifi worked. you then decided to install Ubuntu, clicked on the Install Icon... [18:46] groda24: what version are you using ? [18:46] exodus_ms: no, he borked his windows install screwing w/ ubuntu [18:47] exodus_ms, windows is no longer on the computer [18:47] so he has nothing but ubuntu. [18:47] groda24: as in is 8.10 or 8.04 [18:47] is it possible to install firefox extensions system-wide? [18:47] hunt577, you installed ubuntu by selecting all the available space on the drive (prompted during install) [18:47] pronoy, 8.04 [18:48] exodus_ms: well, since he apparently overwrote the restore partition to, i'd say he chose tot ake over the whole drive.. but thats just a guess [18:48] hey does anyone know why my download speeds are choking in ubuntu? [18:48] I accindetly deleted the pulse audio cookie file. It's back now ... but could be source of prob ? [18:48] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 [18:48] !pulseaudio > grobda24 [18:48] grobda24, please see my private message [18:48] exodus_ms, yes and when I went to cancel installation because it was confusing me, I guess it was too late and overwrote windows [18:49] hey, how can i reinstall a new kernel version [18:49] Then I decided to go ahead and install ubuntu once I determined windows had been overwritten [18:49] pronoy, thanks [18:49] grobda24: dude here's the correct one !! so sorry http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 [18:49] hunt577, There are several prompts before you actuall partion/format your drive, Did you see the one that said something to the effect "this will overwrite etc..)? [18:50] exodus_ms yes I believe so [18:50] anyone know why my download speed is chokin in ubuntu only, upload is fine, but not windows or any other comps? [18:50] hunt577: whats the make/model of your laptop? [18:51] IndyGunFreak, Acer Aspire 6930 [18:51] hunt577, and you click on through, deleting you windoze partition, then you changed you mind and canceled the install while it was partitioning/formatting your drive? [18:52] i do I install KDE desktop for 64 bit Ubuntu? [18:52] exodus_ms yes thats what I did and thats probably what messed it all up [18:52] dustin: are you downloading via wlan? [18:52] william_: i think you would just "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" [18:52] yeah [18:52] ok [18:52] guys how do i install grub off a ubuntu disk ? whithout reinstalling the whole system again ? [18:52] !grub | pronoy, first link [18:52] wireless, yea [18:52] pronoy, first link: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [18:52] hunt577, you have several options. If you wish to keep windoze you will need the install disk for it, then you can setup a dual boot configuration. You can also use the live cd to reinstall Ubuntu as your primary OS [18:53] aa [18:53] hunt577: have you considered calling Acer Monday morning, and asking them to send you a restore CD.. will probably cost you 15-20 bucsk. [18:53] exodus_ms yes I installed Ubuntu and its my primary OS at this point [18:53] IndyGunFreak, I may do that thanks [18:53] hunt577, do you have a working system? [18:53] IndyGunFreak, or I may take the computer back [18:54] hunt577, other than the wifi [18:54] how do I uninstall aol? [18:54] hunt577: lol, i guess you could do that to. [18:54] martin_henry is that kind of the same thing [18:54] just did a speedtest on both ubuntu and windows, same machine, same wireless. have the png results.. 1.5mb/s on ubuntu vs 9.5mb/s on windows, any ubuntu is only downloading at 150kb/s max whereas xp 1.3mb [18:54] Checking for package config tool... not found, some idea? [18:55] william_: same as what? it will install kde and any applications that come with kubuntu [18:55] no [18:55] IndyGunFreak, but if I take it back I need to take off ubuntu.....I know they probably would give me my money back if they see a foreign OS load up because they will know I did something then [18:55] wouldn't* [18:55] hunt577: i'd say thats likely [18:55] i will update xfce 4.6 [18:55] I NEED HELP! [18:55] but i can't [18:55] I access it at the login menu? [18:56] cornballer: what is aol? [18:56] william_ yes, you would change "Session" to KDE [18:56] hunt577: i'd use gparted on the ubuntu live CD, format the whole drive, and just make it "unallocated".. when theyt urn it on at the PC shop, it will give a boot disk failure [18:56] IndyGunFreak, that is sooo shady :P [18:56] user_: you know of any solutions with ubuntu wireless choking downloads? :< [18:56] exodus_ms: its not what i would do, but it'll work [18:57] IndyGunFreak, thats what I will do and I will explain that this morning I cut on my computer and this is what it gave me [18:57] dustin: there are. question is if you use wireless?

[20:07] How do you bring up that screen which shows all the running applications ? [20:07] Codd: seems as if there is a major change in the newer kernels -- that just breaks it. [20:07] pronoy: you here? [20:07] pronoy: I don't think this issue really provides any errors, I've tried running rythembox / amarok from the cli to see if anything gets printed and havent seen anything in /var/log/messages or dmesg [20:07] mleger: check with milligan_ [20:07] video card [20:07] Taras: reboot to machien then first remove that files which you want to delete.. dont open this player.. : will see if its still not removing [20:08] Okay, i will give it a try, thank you [20:08] Codd: then how to detect what's the problem ? [20:08] milligan_: Can you help me with some audio issues? I have all updates on hardy done and pulseaudio configured [20:08] pronoy which prob u hav ? [20:08] J-_, umask is very easy as soon as you understand the different levels. Read - Write - Execute. Remember that order. The values are 4 - 2 - 1 . Read = 5 , Write = 2, and Execute = 1. The three "classes" you need to provide acces for, are "owner", "group", "others". [20:09] milligan_: but no sound whatsoever. No errors just no sound playing on my laptop. Can you help me? [20:09] J-_, so if you want the owner to have read,write,execute, and others just read, you would do chmod 744 file. [20:09] pronoy: apparently the devs know the issue, I guess enough people have complained or it is easy to reproduce [20:09] milligan: READ = 4 :) not 5 [20:09] Sorry, typo. Read = 4, yes. [20:10] Could someone please help me establish an internet connection with ATT U-Verse using a wired ethernet connection? Windows connects automatically but Ubuntu does not. I have been searching the net all day for solutions and I haven't found anything. [20:10] mleger, hard to say mate. Did you check alsamixer that the card isn't muted? [20:10] milligan_: i guess there would have been an error if the card wasn't detected right ? [20:10] milligan_: yes I did nothing is muted. I would really appreciate any help you can lend me [20:11] mleger: pronoy; what type of sound cards do you have ? mine is an audigy2 [20:11] codd: HDA Intel [20:11] bobzilla..

[20:12] does wubi run within windows? I dont really understand how it lets you boot into ubuntu without altering the partition table [20:13] mleger: what's the output ? [20:13] carpii, it boots a special kernel that can access the 'installed system' in a single file.. like a loopback device [20:13] milligan_: HD Audio Controller? [20:13] mleger, yeah, probably. [20:13] carpii, its installed in windows.. but does not run at the same time windows does [20:13] milligan_: So what if I wanted to have a directory that only has read right and execute for just root, and another user? I don't want others to read, write, execute. [20:13] so when im running a wubi based ubuntu, im not in windows at all? [20:13] ok thanks [20:14] carpii, geexbox can do a similer trick also. :) [20:14] milligan_: I tried just about every how-to and troubleshooting guide I could find [20:14] J-_, well, if root was the owner of the file, you would do 700 for just root to have access. If you wanted a user to have access to the file as well, you would do 770, and a chown root:groupthatuserisin file [20:14] Could someone please help me establish an internet connection with ATT U-Verse using a wired ethernet connection? Windows connects automatically but Ubuntu does not. I have been searching the net all day for solutions and I haven't found anything. [20:14] can wubi just keep consuming drive space till its full ? or do you have to allocate it a certain amount? [20:14] Is there anyone who can help me set up my wireless card? I have NDISWRAPPER installed and I can see wireless networks, but I can't connect to it. I have another laptop w Ubuntu connected to it, so I know the configuration. [20:15] mleger, do this, and paste me the output: lspci | grep -i "audio device" [20:15] could someone have a look please: http://pastebin.com/m3052ca92 [20:15] milligan_: Cool, thanks. :) [20:15] milligan_: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [20:15] J-_, no probs. Did you understand WHY you would do it that way ? [20:15] Much appreciated. [20:16] mleger, hm, strange. Should work by default. Um.. you see the volume controller up by the clock ? [20:16] milligan_: So others don't read/write/execute the directory. [20:16] miligan_: Yes it is set to max [20:16] mleger, double click it. === ACorb is now known as acorb [20:17] mleger, are any of the devices muted or lowered in volume ? [20:17] rubberducky: maybe you need to have the configure-file created first. what does the docu say? [20:17] milligan_: no both are on maximum [20:17] user_, docu says copy linux.mak to port.mak if you us elinux and run make [20:17] and make install [20:17] milligan_: they are both locked, does that mean anything? (sorry noob) [20:18] mleger, both? Under "Device" in that window .. what does it say? HDA Intel (Alsa mixer) ? [20:18] rubberducky: does linux.mak fit your setup? [20:18] thank you guys again [20:18] i use linux:D [20:19] milligan_: yes that's exactly what it says [20:19] user_, so yes probably [20:19] Please someone help me with connecting to the internet using Ubuntu. I don't know how to do it because Windows just automatically connects. [20:19] Can anyone help with a wireless issue? [20:19] Bobzilla: just open firefox and role away [20:19] rubberducky: linux is like 'Car'. there a tons of different models ;-) why you want to compile by yourself btw?

[20:24] i have a question, when a test if my ubuntu serveur is 64 bit or no... [20:24] [biabia], You want to use the xfce window manager with gnome? [20:24] rubberducky: have you checked the ubuntu source package. does it contain patches? [20:24] !sudo | mleger [20:24] mleger: 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) [20:24] user_, but its precompile [20:24] mleger, or kdesudo, or gnomes equilivent [20:25] <[biabia]> ohzie: I use the xfce desktop, but I dont have xfwm4 set as the default wm. it shows /usr/bin/metacity as the current wm [20:25] mleger: be careful with sudo...it gives you lot of power......with great power comes great responsibility :) [20:25] i have a question, when a test if my ubuntu serveur is 64 bit or no... [20:25] [biabia], That's strange and I don't understand why it would do that. [20:25] rubberducky: (almost) every ubuntu package also has a source package, just check in the package manager [20:25] <[biabia]> i probably changed a setting that i shouldnt have? [20:26] dr_WIllis still cant do it. I'm sorry I'm totally a noob learning here [20:26] !source | rubberducky [20:26] rubberducky: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get.

[20:26] !source | rubberducky [20:26] <[biabia]> ohzie: where is the usual place people set which wm to use [20:26] mleger, sudo nano /path/to/file [20:26] In the logs, it says 'Activation (wlan0/wireless): association took too long, failing activation' 'Activation (wlan0) failed for access point (XXXXX) [20:27] Nobody can respond to my question ? [20:27] Goaould, your question was rather - vague... [20:27] [biabia], To be honest, I'm not sure where this setting would be. I know that on gnome you can change the default wm to something other than metacity with a few changes [20:27] but I'm not sure how one does that with xfce. [20:27] <[biabia]> ok [20:27] user_, thanks [20:27] I have a Ubuntu serveur 8.10. This version is 64bit ? or 32bit ? When a test this ? === Juje is now known as Juje007 [20:28] Goaould, It would have said so on the iso when you were downloading it [20:28] in the filename before you burned it [20:28] I just switched to ubuntu from windows, I disabled pulseaudio and have switched to alsa but if I plug my usb headset in it doesn't get autodetected [20:28] Dizzle: if you are having connection issues with the network manager you could try using the sudo ifdown eth# (whichever the card number is) then the sudo ifup eht# sometimes that will get it on when network manager can't [20:28] how do I run sudo and specify a password on the command line? (for use in a script) [20:28] Goaould, "uname -a" if it show x86_64 then you have a 64 bit OS [20:28] Goaould: type 'uname -a' in a terminal [20:29] [biabia], I'll look around a bit. I know it's probably in ~/.config/xfce4/ [20:29] Goaould, if you mean 'how' to see if its 64bit of 32bit. use uname -a [20:29] redvanp128: what does that do?

[20:29] What is the memory limit ? 3GO ? [20:29] my problem is that if I accidentially unplug my usb soundcard, I lose sound [20:29] <[biabia]> ohzie ok thanks === acorb\ is now known as ACorb [20:30] Dizzle: basically the ifdown forces it off -- then the ifup makes it come back [20:30] i Can't install 8Go of memory ? [20:30] how do i start cod5 in ubuntu [20:30] mleger, you need to do "sudo nano /etc ..." [20:30] ok.... sudo ifdown wlan0 [20:30] mleger, normal users don't have write access to the bootmenu [20:30] says 'interface wlan0 not configured' [20:30] Goaould, you can install it, but the OS won't be able to use it... [20:30] tommy: what is cod5 [20:31] dizzle: should be eth [20:31] game [20:31] i can update 32bit to 64 bit ? [20:31] Goaould: no. The server kernel as PAE support, so it can support a higher amount of RAM [20:31] it installed ok via wine [20:31] Redvamp: same output [20:31] Hello I found this on how to get Wifi working on my laptop http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5320298&postcount=5 but the link doesn't work, does anyone have a link to a tutorial that is updated?

[20:32] sofakng: run visudo, find your user name and replace last parameter ALL with NOPASSWD:ALL [20:32] tommy, i dont find it hard at all. [20:32] this isn't hard for me [20:32] tommy, trouibleshooting the problems i have in windwos.. thats hard. [20:32] Goaould: Yeah, i think up to 64G of RAM. But really, PAE is a bit of a hack. If you're interested in bigger RAM sizes, you might want to consider moving to 64bit. [20:32] Hello please someone help me get connected to the internet on ATT, I had my computer working fine with Comcast but switched and now I can't connect. Is it possible to connect using Ubuntu on ATTs service?

[20:37] err tty2 [20:37] Good !! [20:38] s_spiff: just remember to when you want to change the setings use sudo nvidia-settings [20:38] I can update my distrib, or i must reinstall the distrib ? [20:38] I switched to alsa and want alsa to autodetect my usb soundcard === ACorb is now known as RoShell [20:38] sofakng: Er.. Just sudo the whole script. And then in the script you'll need to switch back to a regular user to restart tty [20:38] s_spiff: that is after you install the nvidia drivers [20:38] you have to reinstall for 64 bit [20:38] redvamp128: yes, i'll remember that :) === RoShell is now known as ACorb [20:38] Goaould: If your hardware supports it you must reinstall, not upgrade to 64 bit.

[20:40] Dizzle: try this one sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart then try the sudo ifup eth0 [20:40] sofakng: my suggestion - workaround! not official way! [20:40] reD: eth0 is not connected [20:41] sofakng: Nah, generally best to keep stuff running as low as possible. you *can* make it so certain programs (scripts) don't need a sudo password. [20:41] what is snmp? [20:41] win2key: Its a horrible idea because it means you don't need a password to sudo anything. We generally try not to break people's systems in Ubuntu channels.

[20:43] Dizzle: is the card listed there [20:43] sofakng: I suppose you'll have to modify sudoers to allow that particular script to be sudoed without needing a password (the daemon would run sudo /path/to/script) [20:43] redvamp: yes it is...

It runs decently (though abit slow on the framerate) at a niceness of 0. If I try and run it at a niceness of 1; it won't draw anything. Renicing apparently seems to work, though.

[21:42] hi, im getting in my syslog: --> md: syncing RAID array md [21:42] Is there a way to know to get symlinks pointing to specific a folder? [21:42] sDaniel: What? [21:42] does this mean there is a problem with the softraid? [21:42] My Intrepid box will not connect to a wired internet connection. I've searched around, but can't seem to find a reliable step-by-step. Can anyone help? [21:43] phloat, how are you connected right now? [21:43] Is it wifi, or a different computer [21:43] I'm on a different computer [21:44] Flannel: Let's say I am in folder /var/www/x - I know that symlinks are pointing to this folder but I don't know where from and I want to find out where on the machine symlinks are pointing to /var/www/x [21:44] phloat: you should say what wifi chipset you have, its likely to be a driver problem. [21:44] Has anyone setup a checkpoint vpn client on ubuntu?deb? [21:44] It was working fine for the longest time, but I got a new router today and now suddenly the computer won't see anything even when I connect directly to the modem. [21:45] sDaniel: Ah. Um, No, I don't believe so (at least, not right away, you could just ls -l your whole computer and check for symlinks pointing there) [21:45] SiDi, It's a wired connection, not wifi. [21:45] Hey all I'm running Ubunte 8.04 server. When I installed I used an onboard NIC (which was eth0 obviously). I just added a PCI NIC and disabled the onboard NIC in the BIOS, but the new PCI NIC is coming up as eth1 and eth0 isn't working (obviously since I disabled it). Is there a way to get the new NIC as eth0 and ignore the onboard one? [21:45] sDaniel: I don't think you can easily, because in effect symlinks are just small files, the linked file isn't aware of them [21:45] hard links are easier to detect [21:45] having trouble with ltps in intrepid. grafik is slightly flickery (wasnt on hardy) and mouse clock is always double click. any ideas [21:45] Flannel: chris-p: Thanks [21:46] does xine need the gstreamer plugins inorder to work properly? [21:46] phloat: oh sorry. Via a router or directly via PPPOE ? [21:46] sDaniel: no problem, though, as Flannel said, you should be able to with grep and ls -l [21:46] sDaniel: ls -alR / | grep /var/www/x [21:47] SiDi: PPOE? What does that mean? I've tried to connect through a router and also directly to the modem with no router. Neither is working. [21:47] idk?? [21:48] phloat: you should try via a router, its easier. Do you know the IP address of your router? are you using DHCP on it ? [21:48] Flannel: chris-p: All right I'll give that a try. (I am setting up a drupal multisite and wand to track down an error...) [21:48] is it possible to install some form of ubuntu or linux on a 20gb Creative zen portable media player? [21:48] hi, since i made a loop/raid root filesystem the hibernation stopped working, any idea on where to put loop/raid information to properly restore the system? [21:49] Yeah, I'm using DHCP. [21:49] I have it connected to the router now. [21:49] and you're connecting via ethernet, phloat ? [21:50] I'm trying to, yes. I'm talking to you through a seperate computer though. [21:51] Oniak: Why would you want to? [21:51] Apt-get crashed the kernel, I had to reboot and then it says "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." [21:51] If I do that it proceeds to crash the kernel again [21:51] Notch-1: you must adapt the resume=... expression in /boot/grub/menu.lst. it must point to your swap partition [21:52] as [21:52] phloat: add this to /etc/network/interfaces : http://paste.ubuntu.com/125010/ [21:52] BenEss: what were you installing? [21:52] phloat: then type "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart", and tell me what's the output [21:52] java6-sdk [21:52] hmm [21:52] and it's not even what I needed I think [21:52] anything in syslog? [21:53] found it: [21:53] In short: it's a bug. checkarray is actually not a resync, but the kernel [21:53] does not distinguish between them. [21:53] Where exactly do I add that? Just at the bottom of the page? I apologize... I'm still kind of learning my way around this kind of stuff. [21:53] Theres a whole lot in syslog [21:53] phloat: yes :) [21:53] guntbert: i know, i can resume in normal mode, but now i'm with loop root filesystem, and now does not work... anyway it hangs on the hibernation process, not at boot time [21:54] phloat: with this, the system will automatically try to connect you via DHCP on ethernet (unless i made a type in the file, it can happen :p) [21:54] typo* :P [21:54] phloat: either, you can use the networkmanager's applet, if you right click it there is a way to configure eth0 connections [21:54] BenEss: can you pastebin it? [21:54] storbeck : Because all it can do is watch movies and play music [21:54] storbeck: see what i mean ? :p i slept a lot but am still tired :( [21:55] BenEss: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [21:55] Oniak: You might have to write your own drivers. === dook is now known as unclebeer [21:55] I can't seem to get flash player to install..damn it anyhow, I'll get a friend to do it, thanks! (: later. [21:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/125012/ [21:56] Well first is it even possilble to install anything on it? [21:56] That's after the reboot I think [21:56] my ubuntu consol does not show accentuated letters, is there any way to fix this? [21:56] but the reboot didn't go that well [21:56] Ive heard it has DRM on it? [21:56] Notch-1: thats a bit above my actual knowledge :), but your system must know where to store its data during hibernation - is your swap working? [21:56] sidi: how do I get to that file? What do I type in the terminal? [21:56] sdf2: check in your console's preferences that the default charset is UTF-8 [21:56] phloat: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces [21:57] phloat: gedit is the default text editor, and gksudo allows you to start a program with the superuser's rights (which are needed to modify this file) [21:57] SiDi: how can i check it actually? when i type in setupcon it fixes it but after i go to console again later, its bad again [21:57] SiDi: thats gksu, not gksudo (IIRC) :-) [21:57] sdf2: well, i don't know :$ [21:57] guntbert: yes the swap is ok, i think i have to tell somewere how to unmont and remount the loop devices (like i did in the initrd), but i don't know where and what is needed to restore [21:57] Is there a way to reset apt-get so that I can remove the partially installed package? [21:58] guntbert: gksudo works here :P [21:58] I wanted sun java was that it? [21:58] !java | BenEss [21:58] BenEss: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [21:58] Notch-1: sorry, thats as far as I can go with you :-( [21:58] erUSUL: he can't use apt at the moment [21:58] In the DDR2 (memories), more the timing is high better it is? 4-4-4-15 is better 5-5-5-18 ? [21:58] ok yeah that is what I wanted. [21:59] erUSUL as it causes a KP [21:59] So how do I fix apt-get? [21:59] guntbert: thanks anyway :D do you know who to ask? [21:59] BenEss: have you tried "sudo dpkg --remove --force-all package" [22:00] sidi: Alright, I edited the file and all. Do you want me to put the output in pastebin? [22:00] phloat: yes, but someone will have to continue instead of me, i need to go. Good luck. [22:00] SiDi: right you are, didn't want to interrupt [22:00] "dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove java6-sdk which isn't installed." [22:01] BenEss: try apt-get install again [22:01] wait I redid apt-get remove and it works now [22:01] Can anyone help me where sidi left off? I'm trying to get my intrepid box to see my wired connection. [22:01] I can't find the device manager in gnome, I have checked both admin and prefs but do not see hardware or device manager, what is the actual name of it so I can call it from command line or how can i fix this in gui?

[23:07] fennec is a tar.bz2 file how do i install it? [23:07] hi [23:07] for example, a few minutes ago, i came out of sleep mode, and my screen went black but my mouse was still visible. I could barely move it though [23:07] cdenny→ ubuntu is easy to install and use, and has a large catalogue of software that can be installed with just a pair of clicks [23:07] but everything newer than cs2 fails horribly in wine [23:07] phixxor: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html use that and a download of one of the CD versions of ubuntu [23:07] sglasser: I have a macbook [23:07] someone knows how to change the button/form/radiobutton/etc style in firefox? [23:08] fennec is a tar.bz2 file how do i install it? [23:08] grndslm: PDF documents aren't really intended to be edited, so there's no easy way. there are programs that let you annotate PDF documents, though. "pdfedit" would probably be your best bet anyway. [23:08] virtx→ yes, change the theme. [23:08] I had to do a hard restart [23:08] cdenny: errors like this freezing when coming out of sleep happen with ubuntu too. i would only switch if you dont like the vista handling [23:08] cdenny: cant your mac run all the apps you need? plus it is Unix after all :) [23:08] magnetron, i'vfe changed the theme, but the button/radio etc in the html page are not changed [23:09] virtx→ did you change the GNOME theme? [23:09] magnetron, i use kde4 [23:09] is there a mini friendly browser? [23:09] sglasser: macbook is too slow. I use it for mundane tasks, but most of the work is with my custom desktop [23:09] robertzaccour: opera works fine [23:09] virtx→ ok, did you change the GTK theme? [23:09] magnetron, where? [23:10] cdenny: how bout a refurbished macbook pro? [23:10] tangentcollision, it didnt for me i cant scroll all the way down the page [23:10] on my site editor [23:10] virtx→ there's a tool for GTK settings in KDE too. i don't remember the name. [23:10] sglasser im a poor college student [23:10] the tabs on the left go down further than my browser will allow me to scroll [23:11] magnetron, ok let me search [23:11] robertzaccour: so the site is broken...? [23:11] no [23:11] maybe i should try to fix vista, it seems kinda slow for being quad core with 8gb of ram [23:11] the site is fine on my regular size thinkpad [23:11] I just moved /lib to /usr/lib2 with the intent of symlinking it (was running out of room on my / partition), but now all of my standard commands (mv, ls, ln, etc., etc.) are coming back with "-bash: : No such file or directory". What are my options? [23:12] but on the mini the icons on the left go down further than i can scroll [23:12] cdenny: microsoft is trying to fix vista--maybe you should grab win 7 beta [23:12] magnetron, kcm-gtk-kde4 ? === alesidea is now known as Alesidea [23:12] Hello, How long does it take to install Ubuntu using Wubi for a 2 ghz 1.93 mb ram system? [23:12] sglasser, i have thought about [23:12] it [23:12] tswicegood_: simlink from a livecd and cross your fingers [23:12] can i do an upgrade? [23:12] cdenny: have you tried gimp + ufraw? [23:12] erUSUL: it's a remote machine so that's not an option :-( [23:12] what is better, gtk or beryl? [23:12] because I really dont want to have to reinstall all of my apps [23:13] sglasser: I tried gimp but its lacking a lot compared to cs4 [23:13] <_chun> Would there be any issues using 32bit Vista in Virtualbox in 64bit Ubuntu? [23:13] robertzaccour: site's still broken in my opinion. probably any regular browser would exhibit that behavior, so what you'd be looking for is a "reflowing" browser that changes the appareance of pages to make them suit a small display. i'm not aware of one in the repositories, though [23:13] _chun: no [23:13] erUSUL: the files are still there, I just can't execute mv or ln -s to get them back in place [23:13] where can i get a reflowing browser? [23:13] robertzaccour: have u tried agave? [23:14] no where can i find it? [23:14] my webcam does not work, apple macbook revision 2,1. Followed directions at help.ubuntu.com, it worked, like about week later, went to use it; does not work. Did not update computer in that time interval. The isigh.fw file is in lib/firmware/ what do i do? [23:14] robertzaccour: You could also tweak the xorg.conf to give you a 'virtual desktop' of somthing larger then the visible desktop and scroll around [23:14] tswicegood_: well seems logical when the exe trys to load the shared libs it needs that fails... you have to find a way to get a static compiled mv or ln... [23:14] robertzaccour: the only one that occurs to me right now is Opera Mini, but that's not available on Linux as far as i'm aware (although it's Java so should somehow be runnable) [23:14] robertzaccour: this was common practice ages ago when i was in college. :) (i am old) === evantandersen is now known as charliehorse55 [23:14] how do I get the total spaced used by the files in a specific directory and its subdirectories? [23:14] it runs, still the same problem [23:15] Scunizi: "man du" [23:15] robertzaccour: you tried the same site in Opera perhaps it renders it better? [23:15] agave is a color scheme thing [23:15] yes [23:15] LjL: thanks [23:15] i tried opera, firefox, and epiphany [23:15] tswicegood_: but given that the system is remote ... i can not think how to do that [23:15] can anyone help me to install gtk 2.0 (aurora? [23:15] but on my thinkpad i can see everything no problem [23:15] hi [23:16] tswicegood_: that's much more creative than rm -rf * [23:16] maybe a different distro would help? [23:16] random rant: why oh why does Ubuntu think it needs to put stuff in /???? [23:16] to use windows 7 do i have to do clean install? [23:16] i reload my package manager and for some reason it will not let me installed anything form it [23:17] Hello, anyone have an ide why my usb hdd doesnt show in my desktop or anywhere? and yes, it is on :) [23:17] that odd [23:17] Hello, new to ubuntu, having problems with graphics...after i install graphics from the admin menu and reboot i get: Fatal Server Error No Screens Found [23:17] tswicegood_: I think you need physical access to fix the system--you need to boot off a live cd [23:18] yo yo yo [23:18] yo [23:18] robertzaccour: have you tried to simply remove toolbars and things to gain some vertical space? it's small things but - have only one panel, drop the browser's status bar, move the menubar to the panel (using gnome-globalmenu), use only one toolbar for URL and everything else... [23:19] How long does it take to install Ubuntu using Wubi for a 2 ghz 1.93 mb ram system?

[23:19] sglasser: that assumes that man works ;-) [23:19] robertzaccour: depends on the browser [23:20] robertzaccour: i don't know about Opera - haven't used it for a long time [23:20] robertzaccour: mostly it would involve right clicking on the toolbar anyway [23:20] opera is good but i like flock better [23:20] lol i talking to myself [23:20] thanks ill try that [23:20] robertzaccour: or using the "View" menu [23:20] tswicegood_: ok, on another system see man ldconfig... ;-) [23:20] opera is sweeeet [23:20] first time in the irc world!

I've got tomcat installed but even when I include /usr/share/tomcat6/ in the classpath, I can't compile my servlet. [23:23] does anyone know why cinepaint is no longer included in ubuntu [23:23] exodus_ms: open the file with file-roller and make sure the data is ok [23:23] !cinepaint [23:23] but on the mini the icons on the left go down further than i can scroll [23:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about cinepaint [23:23] !info cinepaint [23:23] Package cinepaint does not exist in intrepid [23:23] robertzaccour: could always just try to zoom out (Opera has real zooming, while on most other browsers it just changes the character size) [23:23] redhawk: google turned up this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=806010 [23:23] having problems with graphics...after i install graphics from the admin menu and reboot i get: Fatal Server Error No Screens Found i have 2 video cards both the same [23:24] ActionParsnip, ty [23:24] thanks giovani [23:24] ill try that thanks [23:24] carboniw, lemme guess, Nvidia? [23:24] hello, how can I force the unmount of /var/lib/schroot/mount/blablub/dev ? I get umount: /dev: device is busy. [23:24] redhawk: "GTK1 is no longer supported by Debian and has been removed along with all programs that depend on it hence no Cinepaint in Ubuntu." [23:24] yea nvidia [23:24] from that link [23:25] robertzaccour: http://my.opera.com/community/customize/skins/minimalist/ [23:25] redhawk: the reason is basically that it depends on the very old GTK1, but GTK1 support has been completely dropped from Debian [23:25] thanks i just upgraded and it is a great program will need to find another lol [23:25] thanks to LjL also [23:25] c_korn: that means a file in that dir is open -- see man lsof [23:25] c_korn: lsof | grep schroot [23:25] carboniw, you may have to specify the PCI Id in an xorg.conf file. you're x server is likely unsure which card to use. [23:25] how do i zoom out in opera? [23:26] carboniw, this is a common problem i've seen w/multiple nvidia cards not running sli [23:26] rdw200169: yeah im trying to find a good tutorial on that or something but that was my guess [23:26] c_korn: make sure you try to unmount it when your terminal pwd is ~/ [23:26] just a random question but can i use sli in ubuntu??? [23:26] carboniw, have you set up a xorg.conf file? [23:26] unko: i dont think its supported yet [23:26] rdw200169: no i have not its defualt [23:27] ActionParsnip, hmm...oh well i was just wondering... [23:27] unko: i think its in the pipeline [23:27] carboniw, you can use the nvidia tools to create a shell xorg.conf file (nvidia-xconfig) [23:27] rdw200169: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf right ? [23:27] yes [23:27] !info vmlinuz [23:27] Package vmlinuz does not exist in intrepid [23:27] i fixed it with right click full screen [23:27] how can i remove a package without removing it's dependencies? [23:27] thanks yall [23:27] unko: http://digg.com/linux_unix/NVIDIA_SLi_Now_Available_For_Linux_ [23:27] carboniw, first, see if you can use nvidia-xconfig to automatically create a xorg.conf file [23:27] ActionParsnip, ohhh [23:27] unko, ActionParsnip: it seems possible according to google, see for instance http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=607385 === sdf2 is now known as sd2_zzz [23:28] LjL: yeah i found a few with ask.com too ;) [23:28] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/d51ba4582 [23:28] rdw200169: gona try that now [23:28] LjL: its not something i use but looks like it is. last i looked it wasnt available [23:29] there is no entry for the /dev mount in lsof [23:29] c_korn: are you trying to unmount your / partition? [23:29] rdw200169: do i have to install nvidia tools ? [23:30] ActionParsnip: I did that to have sound in a schroot "sudo mount --bind /var/lib/schroot/mount/intrepid.amd64-be63dd3d-18b0-45f4-89bc-be971ec4a434/dev /dev" [23:30] now I want to unmount it again, but it is busy [23:30] carboniw, nvidia-xconfig should be a package all by itself [23:31] c_korn: smething is open on that partition or an ap on that partition is running [23:32] c_korn: ps -ef | less may give some answers [23:32] ActionParsnip: inside the schroot? or on my system? [23:32] Can anyone help me to get a pair of terminal commands to run automatically at startup? [23:32] c_korn: inside the chroot [23:32] I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 [23:32] rdw200169, carboniw: there is an "nvidia-xconfig" package, but (at least on Hardy) it conflicts with "nvidia-glx" (which is the very driver), since "nvidia-glx" already provides the same nvidia-xconfig program [23:32] carboniw, here's a sample of how the file should look, sort of. pay attention to the duality of the Devices, Monitors, and screens. Also, note that the ServerLayout is where they come together. You need to specify in the Devices Section the Bus ID's for your video cards. the Bus ID can be found in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:32] mikeshollen: add them to /etc/rc.local [23:33] !boot | mikeshollen [23:33] mikeshollen: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [23:33] mikeshollen: create a script then add it to your startup [23:33] LjL, ah, didn't know that... i just did a quick apt-cache search... i didn't know if i had it installed though ;) [23:33] How long does it take to install Ubuntu using Wubi for a 2 ghz 1.93 mb ram system? [23:34] carboniw, in that log file, there should be a couple lines where it detects your video cards, and those lines contain the Bus ID's [23:34] rdw200169: ok looking now [23:35] earthling: what sped hard drive and how much cache and what interface? [23:35] earthling: depends on your CD drive speed, on what processor is actually providing the 2GHz (Hz figures mostly mean nothing at all), on NTFS fragmentation, and on a ton other factors. [23:35] carboniw, the line should name, specifically, the model/make of the video cards [23:35] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/d4d8f571 [23:35] i tried to edit /etc/rc.local but it always gives me this error [23:35] why isn't /etc/init.d/ssh restart disconnecting me from ssh?

[23:38] earthling: ive nt used wubi. i think it is the worst idea since the live gentoo cd.

Obrigado. [23:40] thank you very much usser ;-) [23:40] Brucee, no problem [23:41] rww: hmm, editing my grub. Not sure where to put it, because the Linux Kernels put the root=uuid=blablabla on the same line as Kernel. The root (hd1,0) is still there on the Linux boot entries as well, although I have tried removing the root (hd1,0) and it does work for booting Ubuntu. I think it might have something to do with the chainloader thing for windows. [23:41] how can i get a better refresh rate in ubuntu 8.10 ? i have installed 177 nvidia drivers version [23:41] hi... is there some log of the official updates? [23:42] ActionParsnip, why don't you like wubi? I heard the only main difference is its a little slower and it can't hibernate [23:42] last update made it to not sound at all [23:42] Em3raldMcSquizzy: I think you replace the "root (hdX,Y)" line with a "uuid " line. [23:42] i mean, the last update made my ubuntu to output no sound (just that, every program "works fine") [23:42] earthling: ii just dont like the idea of how its installed under windows, its not a proper install but its not quite a vm, just a whole load of bad idea if you ask me [23:42] !info apt-listchanges | trece8 [23:42] apt-listchanges (source: apt-listchanges): package change history notification tool.

[23:44] Mooqy: who knows, it may just fry your computer from all i know. it's not a release. [23:44] rww: maybe, but not sure of the syntax becuase the root line has no equals-signs, whereas the kernel line goes like this: root=UUID=blabla ...... but the root line goes like this: root (hd1,0) [23:44] Mooqy: Yes, but again, Jaunty is currently not stable and may break randomly and repeatedly. If you're not comfortable with that, you shouldn't use it. [23:44] how can i get a better refresh rate in ubuntu 8.10 ? i have installed 177 nvidia drivers version [23:44] can anyone recommend a bluetooth dongle (usb) that works with ubuntu?

[23:45] Em3raldMcSquizzy: I think the root= stuff in the kernel line is Linux specific and not the same thing as the root thing that's on its own line.

[23:47] Em3raldMcSquizzy: Lemmie put it this way... if I were to do it on my computer (which I can't, because I'm in the middle of a long download, so no restarting for me), I'd do http://paste.ubuntu.com/125059/ [23:47] Em3raldMcSquizzy: (where the 1482... stuff is from blkid) [23:48] is there a benfit of creating a package locally when building something from source? [23:48] im looking for an http server for linux, like an ftp server but with a website interface and connectable through http protocol [23:48] How do i configure what folders "Places" show on the panel? I tried right-clicking and "edit panel" but "places" isn't listed for editing. [23:48] Zopiac: gnome-do acts as if youd double clicked the file in a file browser, so change the default app for the file type and it will be ok [23:48] rww: I see. Yeah, maybe that could work. I will give it a shot and if it doesn't work, I'll be back. I will also try: root UUID=blabla if your suggestion is a no-go. [23:49] if it does work, I won't be back for a bit. [23:49] loafers: open a Nautilus/File Browser window and drag the folders you don't want off the Places side pane. [23:49] loafers: open the containing folder and drag it into the places bar [23:49] ActionParsnip: but I don't think that gnome-do's Run command is an 'app' that I could set that to... [23:50] trece8: go to http://packages.ubuntu.com, select "intrepid-updates" (or "intrepid-security" if the package came from security), type in the package name, search, then click on the package found, and on the right, there is "Ubuntu changelog" [23:50] I have a question my burn option is not working for compiz it was working yesterday now i it does not work at all [23:50] rww, Thanks [23:50] benc1: it theoretically allows you to more easily remove the program [23:50] how can i get a better refresh rate in ubuntu 8.10 ? i have installed 177 nvidia drivers version [23:50] Zopiac: it just opens the file with the docs default app, i didnt know it had a 'run command' [23:50] thanks LjL [23:50] rww: which way do you recommend to package? [23:51] loafers, it's 'edit bookmarks' in nautilus [23:51] C-S-B, Thanks, I got it to work. [23:51] benc1: If you're just packaging to make local administration easier, and not planning to distribute packages you create, checkinstall should work. [23:51] !checkinstall > benc1 [23:51] benc1, please see my private message [23:52] rww: reading. thanks [23:52] ActionParsnip: well when I go to this certain program in gnome-do, it gives me an 'open' in the right pane. when I tab to it I can change that to 'run' 'opening' won't run the program :\ and it kinda sucks that I have to do that every time I want to open the program [23:53] LjL, the problem is I don't know what package messed up [23:53] but i want to restore things before the last update === Kissaki is now known as Kissaki^0ff [23:53] I've got a pc that needs the broadcom B43 wireless driver. the PC wants to download the driver but of course it can't because it doens't have access to the internet yet. So how do I download the .deb from the package repo online? [23:54] also what is the command to find the exact distro version? [23:54] Pyrophelia: lsb_release -a [23:54] Zopiac: its not something i'm knowledgable, maybe theres some advice in the man pages [23:54] ok [23:54] LjL, i just need them by order of appearance... and my problem seems to me very probable to be frequent... is there other way around? [23:54] it pass me an strange thing when in the vnavigation bar hay search something normally redirects to google but know ti do this: Firefox no puede encontrar el archivo en jar:file:///usr/lib/firefox-3.0.6/extensions/langpack-es-AR@firefox-3.0.ubuntu.com/chrome/es-AR.jar!/locale/browser-region/region.propertiescom+whatever [23:54] Pyrophelia: what's the name of the package you need? [23:54] anyone knows a list of package updates by date of release? [23:55] Hi there, i tried to install hardy et intrepid on a desktop (Amd Athlon 2600+) with both the live and alternate cds, all four attemps resulting with a hang at copyong files, i have installed linux distros manytimes before, including ubuntu, but not on this machine. can anyone help me out with this? [23:55] Does anyone know the fix for this error: http://clububuntu.pastebin.com/f50e869b4 [23:55] b3nw: uhm, have a look here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/Dell/DellInspiron1720 - there's something about your device. it says weird things about using a virtualized Vista install to make it work. this is strange but seems consistent with other things i've found that hint it might need a firmware upload to work. [23:55] b3nw: anyway, the bt key i have cost me €7 so if you can find it, i guess it would do... [23:55] rww, I'm not sure. I have a window called "hardware drivers" that says it wants to download the "Broadcom B43 wireless driver" I don't know how to find out what the name of the package is [23:55] LjL - ug at that rate might be worth just getting a new one [23:55] *it pass me an strange thing when in the navigation bar hay search something normally redirects to google but know do this: Firefox cant finf jar:file:///usr/lib/firefox-3.0.6/extensions/langpack-es-AR@firefox-3.0.ubuntu.com/chrome/es-AR.jar!/locale/browser-region/region.propertiescom+whatever [23:55] I am trying to install hardy on my hp compag presario laptop (amd x2, 2 gb ram, 256 mb nvida card, 250 gb hd) it won't boot the cd into the live session(Hardy x86_64) help? [23:56] is there some way to make FireFox always use bigger fonts? My eyes can't read the default tiny fonts. Thanks. [23:56] b3nw: well, i was thinking that maybe one doesn't really need a full-blown Windows install, but could just run that .exe in WINE instead. i don't know. [23:56] mikejet: Firefox Edit > Preferences > Content > Fonts & Colors > Advanced... > Minimum font size: [23:56] im looking for an http server for linux, like an ftp server but with a website interface and connectable through http protocol [23:56] rww: great, thanks. [23:57] LjL - I have a windows install, so i'll try to reboot and try that, thanks. [23:57] !alternate | NeoDragon [23:57] NeoDragon: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [23:57] mikejet, edit -> preferences -> content -> font & colors , try that [23:58] hi [23:58] "sudo aptitude install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server" [23:58] since localhost runs the index.php file in var/www [23:58] NeoDragon: and if you just goto releases.ubuntu.com you can get the other alternate cd's like hardy [23:58] Pyrophelia: if you try to enable the drivers, I think there's a terminal window that'll tell you which files failed to download; you should be able to get it from there. [23:58] but i got the error as follow [23:58] You don't have permission to access /webserver/index.php on this server. [23:58] is it possible to disable shadow from compiz on gnome panel? [23:58] how can you adjust individual screensaver preferences? I can't find a preferences button in the screensaver applet [23:58] does linuxmint have any real "advancements" from the intrepid/hardy releases, or is it just strictly a re-design? i don't care for the integrated drivers and such.. i just want to know if it's any more stable or faster than ubuntu? [23:58] so do you recommend I go with 8.10 instead of 8.04 also. I have 8.04 on my other pc and I like that one. [23:58] !mint | nellmathew [23:58] nellmathew: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce) [23:59] nbeebo: yes but you need the cssm to get to those options [23:59] hello [23:59] how can I set the Samba hostname via command line? [23:59] thanks [23:59] !mintsupport [23:59] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [23:59] what virtualization software folks recommend here for 8.10 [23:59] redvamp128, oh ok, u know how to do later on? [23:59] since localhost runs the index.php file in var/www [23:59] NeoDragon: I ran into that issue installing to a dell -- had to use the alternate cd .. [23:59] tomvolek_: Virtualbox [23:59] if I try to connect via IP to my samba, it works fine [23:59] but i got the error as follow [23:59] from Sun rww ? [23:59] but when I try to use domain name, it fails [23:59] how do you work around the issue that some package update (that you don't know which is) crashed something and you want to UN-update that? [23:59] does anyone know the name of the A drive cable ??? [23:59] tomvolek_: no, from the Ubuntu repositories. sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
