[00:01] nbeebo: do you have firefox (copy this link and it should auto install it) apt://compizconfig-settings-manager [00:01] arthus: the servername should be the name in /etc/hostname [00:01] rww: but it's not twisted is it [00:01] redvamp128, oh ok, cool, thanks! [00:01] nbeebo: or you can type sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [00:01] LjL you know like the ide cable, would it be the same for the Adrive [00:01] LjL: the one for floppy drives is, I think. [00:01] john__: it's called a floppy drive. [00:01] ActionParsnip, if he doesnt have dns server setup it aint going to help [00:01] ubuntu-br [00:01] john__: and no, it's not the same cable [00:01] can anyone help me fix my screen ressalotun when i cant get to the app to do it i want to have it auto detect this is on 8.10 [00:02] usser: was getting to that ;) [00:02] john_ : floppy cable [00:02] ok I will use the alternate cd, but should I go with 8.04 or 8.10? [00:02] nbeebo: it can set things for compiz that you would not be able to do without a lot of updating config files... (makes it easier) [00:02] rww: nope, at least not the ones for the floppy drives i always had. it's just like an IDE cable, just with fewer pins [00:02] the hostname isn't listed anywhere in the samba config [00:02] ActionParsnip, i find it easier to just install winbind and use wins for name resolution [00:02] i have ubuntu 8.04 : How do you undo the last software update?

[00:02] how should I be using a wacom pad with this xorg.conf? http://pastebin.com/m152851a [00:02] redvamp128, oh ok i see, i also tried download simple-ccsm, maybe its even easier to do what i want with it... anyway, thanks ill be mixing with it now!... [00:02] arthus: you could add an entry to the system connecting to the samba to resolve the name to an ip using hosts file [00:02] LjL: Heh. Pretty sure mine has a twist in it. Looking online, it seems like there should be one on wires 10-16. [00:03] LjL so it is a twisted ribbon cable [00:03] anyone know how can i edit xorg conf safely ? [00:03] can anyone help me fix my screen ressalotun when i cant get to the app to do it i want to have it auto detect this is on 8.10? [00:03] ActionParsnip: hmm, ok [00:03] I know how to do that [00:03] arthus, try using wins [00:03] NeoDragon: I tried booting the dell laptop with the live cd and it would start but then blank screen-- once I used the alternate cd and used the cli (to install) it then worked perfect (though you have to be connected to the web) because the alternate grabs the latest from the web. [00:03] arthus, sudo apt-get install winbind [00:03] arthus global section , netbios name [00:03] rww: ah yes, that's true. i was thinking "twisted pair", which it clearly is not [00:03] arthus, edit /etc/nsswitch.conf [00:03] * rww nods [00:03] arthus: thus making the name resolve to the ip on the local machine [00:04] NeoDragon: that and I had to hit the f12 key to get to the alternate boot functions [00:04] ActionParsnip: that seems easiest [00:04] arthus: you could even have it as a different name in the hosts file if you so wish [00:04] john_ : just ask for floppy disk cable... i assume it's easier [00:04] arthus, modify hosts and networks lines so they read something like this hosts: files wins mdns4_minimal dns mdns4 [00:04] john__: if you're looking to buy one - just ask for a 34-pin floppy cable. [00:04] arthus, just add wins basically after files [00:04] usser: ok, got it [00:04] john__: or buy usb floppy [00:05] Ok great thanks [00:05] arthus, after its done sudo /etc/init.d/winbind restart [00:05] john__: it may well be a "twisted ribbon cable", but if you ask for that... you might be given a thousand different things [00:05] arthus, now try pinging your machine from a windows machine by name [00:05] sweet! it gets the right IP [00:05] arthus, cool [00:05] ...and it connects :) [00:05] arthus: sweet [00:05] thanks! [00:05] arthus, no problem [00:05] * john__ I know this was a strange question but I was working on some material to teach a class on the ComTIA a free class on the Essential [00:06] arthus: hosts can be fun to prank your mates [00:06] ActionParsnip: haha, ya [00:06] john__: i just don't think it has a *name* as such. [00:06] arthus: go into their hosts and add a porn site ip for www.google.com ;) [00:06] Hello. I'm trying to get pulseaudio working. Should default audio device be set to "alsamixer:hw:0" in gconf ? [00:06] john__: it's a PC floppy cable. it probably was (almost) the same cable on the original IBM PC. [00:07] arthus: it can also be used for good, like resolvin known bad names to 127.0.0.1 so if anything trys to calll home or access bad sites it resolves to local host and fails [00:07] ok I was hoping it was a twisted cable, Thank you guys and you to LjL [00:07] anyone have problems with usb devices?

(does it mean updating or upgrading...) [00:33] joshjtl: It means upgrading to a new version of Ubuntu (i.e., from Intrepid to Jaunty).

[01:03] yeti2: there's an amd64 version of the generic kernel. If the output of uname -a has "x86_64" in it, you're using it. [01:03] rww: what should i do then? [01:04] rww: yea, that's there... then any idea how to get skpye or any other program that will run on the amd64 architecture or how to make the i386 work? [01:04] does anyone know if the ubuntu 'remote desktop' feature requires a user to be logged in in order to connect? [01:04] zamba: Use php5... [01:04] <_VIM_> weternal: here's my desktop with cairo-dock with cairo theme http://www.pixball.com/images/j94g3Screenshot.png.png [01:04] (logged in, as in an X session running) [01:05] caimlas_: thers ways around that. :) [01:05] Dr_Willis_Arch, any chance you giving me an idea of how to do so? :P [01:05] yeti2: there's an amd64 skype package, isn't there? [01:05] where's the gnomescreensaver config file? [01:05] caimlas_: you could set gdm to auto-log them in..or you could set up VNC to get a remote desktop without the user ever logging in. [01:05] rwm, I can't get into the box remotely, I'm going to have to drop down to a root shell. Do you recall the syntax to add "me" to the admin group, with, I think, the chgrp command? [01:05] caimlas_: i normally 'ssh in' and run vncserver manually. then connect.. the remote box dosent even need a monitor, :) [01:06] rww: the page only has a link for ubuntu 7.something +, no options for architecture, and all the sites i've seen link to the same place but i'll go have an other google for it [01:06] yeti2: there's one linked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype#AMD64 , anyway [01:06] _VIM_: cairo-dock needs a reboot after installing? [01:06] <_VIM_> nope [01:06] <_VIM_> it needs compiz though [01:06] i`v just instaled using synaptic and cant find it [01:06] n2diy: (my nick is rww) sudo useradd -G admin me, should do it. [01:07] Dr_Willis_Arch, is vncserver the server run by ubuntu's desktop sharing feature? [01:07] <_VIM_> presshere: you have to get it on the site, one sec [01:07] Dr_Willis_Arch, oddly, it appears as if vncserver isn't in $PATH on that box. :-/ [01:07] rww, sorry, my eyes are old, thanks. [01:07] Dr_Willis_Arch, or does it link to X, in some fashion, and just use vncserver libs? [01:08] caimlas_: i normally install it with sudo apt-get install vnc4server [01:08] caimlas_: gnomd has its own vncserver feature builtin [01:08] gnomes vncserver is called.. err.. i forget. :) [01:08] <_VIM_> presshere: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CairoDock [01:08] Dr_willis, huh. is it inferior? [01:08] (to vncserver) [01:08] vnc is a VERY flexiable tool. theres more to it then jus shareing the 'current desktop' [01:09] _VIM_: thx [01:09] depends on your needs. [01:09] Dr_Willis_Arch, caimlas_: GNOME's VNC thing is called "vino", I think. [01:09] <_VIM_> np [01:09] c'mon there has to be a way to configure screensaver settings without having to switch to xscreensaver [01:09] rww sounds right. :) i was thinking wino :) heh [01:09] Brack101: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeScreensaver/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#head-64ef29e28226e09a3b849d8f00726cc004625c62 [01:09] Brack101: I disagree with that reasoning, but there you go. [01:12] when i tunnel vnc in ssh, i see like 10 desktops stacked on top of one another, some sort of glitch or something [01:12] eseven73: Did you ever get the script to work? [01:12] my goodness!!! installing arping REMOVES network-manager!!! [01:12] rww, useradd -G admin me returned me exsists, and a prompt, how can I check if it worked? [01:12] no [01:13] Dang === Dr_Willis_Arch is now known as Dr_Willis_AAO [01:13] storbeck: i found a program, sbackup it's pretty sweet [01:13] Good :) I'm glad you got things working === KiiMuRa_Away is now known as KiiMuRa [01:14] yeah it's not half bad, it tars the backup, and puts it on a schedule of your choosing, you can even exclude directories you dont want like /tmp :) [01:14] n2diy: hmm.

[01:19] :) [01:19] cole: try libxv-dev. It's in gutsy. [01:19] I tried though [01:19] labeau: sudo rm /path/to/the/right/trash dont work eh?

[01:19] Do not run that command rww [01:20] That will delete the Trash folder itself [01:20] yep. [01:20] You want .../Trash/* [01:20] which is harmless [01:20] storbeck: it gets recreated the next time something gets moved to trash. It's fine. === Panji_HItam is now known as Herbal_Online [01:20] It does? [01:20] hum.. [01:20] ari_stre1s, they both use ath0 i am guessing [01:20] using rm with * is rather dangerous [01:20] Well then nevermind :) I don't use gnome [01:20] particularly with sudo [01:20] bosco try scp /home/bosco/file when upgrading from gutsy to intrepid, do i have to go by hardy or can i go directly up to intrepid? [01:21] oops leave off that < [01:21] zamba: you can't skip releases, except LTS to LTS [01:21] crdlb: so i have to go through hardy? [01:21] so you have to go through hardy [01:21] ok [01:21] zamba: 7.10 > 8.04 > 8.10 should work, yes. [01:21] but it's just a matter of changing all instances in /etc/apt/sources.list and then do update / dist-upgrade? [01:21] thats a lot of skipping, better to just reinstall clean [01:22] zamba: no. Read the upgrade instructions. [01:22] eseven73: it's a server [01:22] !upgrade | zamba [01:22] zamba: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [01:22] so? [01:22] its a lot of skipping [01:22] zamba: if it's a server, you might consider stopping at hardy [01:22] crdlb: yeah [01:23] hey guys, i'm trying to install ubuntu on an old laptop - i have issues with the internal cdrom, so i'm trying to use the netinstall cd.. us.archive.ubuntu.com seems to get stuck trying to retrieve files and eventually skips it, how do i change the sources.list to archive.ubuntu.com?.. or is there another solution? [01:23] +ha92910 [01:23] Anyways im on vnc so this is getting laggy, switching back to _VIM_ :) [01:23] <_VIM_> hehe [01:23] well i have tryed all that and still it in there! [01:24] clear [01:24] nellmathew: uhm, i thought it ask you during the installation process which mirror you wanted to use [01:24] hey [01:24] well i tryed all that and its still in there! [01:24] yup that worked, now its asking for a "ptlib" package [01:24] LjL, it does but i don't know how to edit it... i can READ it, is there a key to edit? hold on lemme try "e" [01:25] bosco: what is ath0? i only see eth0 and eth1 === Panji_HItam is now known as Herbal_Online [01:25] nellmathew: err, you mean the actual file sources.list, or the list that the installer gives you? you probably can't edit the list it gives you - you just select from the choices [01:25] ath0 is usually a wifi interface [01:25] nellmathew: as for sources.list, you'd need sudo to edit it, of course, but i'm not even sure that would really work with the installer [01:25] storbeck: ubuntu says my wifi as eth1 [01:25] ath0 is madwifi-only [01:25] LjL alright thanks, i'll see what i can do [01:26] ari_stre1s: That's okay [01:26] ari_stre1s never mind srry i use ath0 with my laptop srry i thought that you might be using it for mine it installed by default using ath0 for wireless and ethernet srry [01:26] rww, It worked, thanks. [01:27] n2diy: glad I could help :) [01:27] eseven73, one prob me not thinking i dont use port 22 for ssh is there a way to specify port like (ssh -p) [01:27] hi [01:27] hello, has anyone managed to get nvidia drivers to work with a real time kernel on ubuntu? [01:28] storbeck: the problem is now both eth0 (cable) and eth1 (wifi) are on and getting ip from dhcp, it should be like this, right? i connect the cable, so wifi shouldn't be active, right? [01:28] rww: any idea what ptlib package is? [01:29] CodyT07: try to install nvidia site driver? [01:29] eseven73, the -p command is not working for me [01:29] ari_stre1s, ever since hardy network manager supports simultaneous connections. [01:29] ari_stre1s: Use ifconfig [01:29] <_VIM_> bosco i think its -P [01:30] i have, but it has failed every time when i try to install. Stats my kernel isn't supported [01:30] CodyT07: they do not support real time kernel last time I checked [01:30] ari_stre1s: sudo ifconfig eth0 down [01:30] I gotta ask... What happened to the legacy nvidia hardware device? [01:30] hi all [01:30] usser: so it's not a bug? [01:31] ari_stre1s, definetely not [01:31] hmm [01:31] I had audio earlier today and 12 hours later my system only gets the audible alert [01:31] I haven't rebooted. [01:31] _VIM_, no i am "scp" to upload from my laptop to my serve both linux of course lol i did a man scp and it said -p same thing for ssh works but it doesnt really change the port when i do that ???? [01:31] <_VIM_> bosco you're correct it's -p not -P, maybe you can pastebin your exact command so peopel in here can help you [01:31] <_VIM_> people* [01:31] onca: Something is probably using your sound [01:31] Hi guys, will like to ask if anyone have tried plucking in an external thumb drive on ubuntu server ?

[01:33] yu [01:33] cole: Try libpt-dev instead, then [01:33] rww: yup i dont have that package in synaptic [01:33] i have tried ... the problem that i am facing is that i went to /media directory and type in "dir " but it was not there. the only things that surface are cdrom cdrom0 [01:34] when I mplayer -ao pulse *, mplayer repeatedly says "Connection died: connection terminated" and doesn't play any sound.

Can anyone help? [01:41] If anyone is still pondering my question - nevermind. I figured it out [01:41] <_VIM_> Cool_Nick: i DONT think the average Ubuntu users compiles their own Kernels, where did you hear this? [01:42] so i cannot use a nvidia driver with a real time kernel? [01:42] Cool_Nick: What is the command you're using? [01:42] _VIM_ The half dozen times ive been asking about my kernel issues for the last few days [01:42] Cool_Nick, nvidia driver works with real time kernel [01:42] why shouldnt it [01:43] <_VIM_> Cool_Nick: i know who you're talking bout and they use gentoo and arch for their main OS, not Ubuntu :) [01:43] Cool_Nick: sudo make menuconfig [01:43] storbeck...thats using: make-kpkg clean [01:43] hi ^^ [01:43] Then, make && make modules_install [01:43] storbeck, past that stage [01:44] Cool_Nick, then check the config again, somethings not working, btw you need the xen stuff? [01:44] hmm having some problems with the volume control, cant get the channels to stick together and cant get the right volume to be shown. [01:44] storbeck, already done that...I then get issues with the initrd not booting past 'waiting for filesystem' [01:44] spiongraz, is that another apt-get I have to do? [01:44] Cool_Nick: If you've already done make && make modules_install - then that's all you need to do [01:44] Then just add the new bzImage into your boot loader [01:44] storbeck, that doesnt make an initrd [01:45] pfft, You don't need an initrd [01:45] storbeck, so I use the mkinitramfs... [01:45] Cool_Nick, apt-get? just delete the xen stuff from the kernel config, and try again... [01:45] spiongraz, Thats using make oldconfig [01:45] Cool_Nick, use make xconfig [01:45] spiongraz, I tried putting no to all the xen options in the kernel and still get the xen error [01:45] I have never once needed an initrd === dan is now known as JKcomputer [01:45] you need an initrd unless you made sure to compile everything needed to read the root fs into the kernel === Andre_Gondim-afk is now known as Andre_Gondim [01:46] no one cares to try to answer my question?

How do I fix this? [01:46] jonaskoelker: don't use a * [01:46] kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk [01:46] k [01:46] k [01:46] storbeck, what do I put in the menu.list instead of the initrd option? [01:46] k [01:46] jeremie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:46] kitche: okay. The same thing happens when I play just a single file [01:47] kitche: and also, why not use a *? [01:47] Cool_Nick: I can't help you with Grub.

[01:47] Cool_Nick, jesus how are you building the kernel? i hope you build a debian package? [01:47] where can I find that font? [01:47] I think you can use the old initrd though [01:47] storbeck, you bypass initrd with ubuntu? [01:47] Yes [01:48] spiongraz, I try ubuntu way and keep getting stuck with that XEN. non ubuntu way gets me stuck at initrd [01:48] g [01:48] i got a laptop, and i got a 19 inches display, how can i tell Ubuntu to use the two screen the same time ? [01:48] why the MTU of a server shouldn't be too high ? [01:48] I'm having some trouble getting intrepid to see a wired network. Can anyone help?

[01:49] Cool_Nick, only use ubuntu way on ubuntu pls. and just kick the xen stuff out of your config, with make menuconfig, for example, but make xconfig is more convenient, altho youll need some libqt package, dont know the right name, google can help you, in make xconfig you can search your config for xen stuff. its nice [01:49] huwenfeng: you want them to show the same thing or not? [01:49] Cool_Nick, no thats not your problem [01:50] crdlb: not the same thing, i want one to show , for example, firefox, the other show the x-terminal or play movies [01:50] storbeck: I didn't ask to ask a question. I said i'm having trouble with my network. I'm running Intrepid, and though I'm on a wired network, the computer won't connect. [01:50] spiongraz, will mcedit the .config and remove all lines with xen be good enough? [01:50] huwenfeng: have you looked in Screen Resolution and made sure Mirror Screens isn't enabled? [01:50] phloat: You're asking a generic question. You will get more help if you say exactly what is not working. Error messages are a big plus. [01:51] Cool_Nick, i wouldnt do that for several reasons, why dont you just use a tool especially made for that. [01:51] I don't know where to find it in make menuconfig [01:51] hi, can we change the modified time of a file? [01:51] Cool_Nick: use / [01:52] My kernel does NOT have a xen directory...so Im thinking the options might not be showing up [01:52] ari_stre1s: touch it? [01:52] crdlb: what ? my resolution is 1280 800, and in the Screen Resolution, i have not see "Mirror screen" , i saw "Clone Screens" . Is that what you mean? [01:52] huwenfeng: yes, it says mirror here, but that might be a change in jaunty [01:52] same thing though [01:53] aitd: touch -t 200808150000.00 filename [01:54] crdlb: oh, i enabled it , now , they show the same thing! [01:54] thanks storbeck [01:54] huwenfeng: err, what exactly happens when it's not enabled? [01:55] crdlb: it does not detect the Screen, the Screen is black. [01:56] crdlb: i mean, i did not use the independent screen ever, and now i want to use it to show more things. i mean show different things on the two screen, [01:56] huwenfeng: Did you reconfigure X? [01:57] It's no surprise that it doesn't work if all you did was plug it in [01:57] storbeck: that's not true [01:58] dpkg --get-selections provides complete list of all pkgs intsalled on a system ?

The data is currently stored in the proprietary format for SPSS, but can also be saved as an excel document, xml, or a number of other formats. My question is this: Since as many as 3 other people will be manipulating this data, is there a way to ensure that one person's changes don't get overwritten? Ideall [02:09] y, I'd like for there to be a master copy to which all changes get merged. Is this possible?

Since I want to tes it first I made a seperate partition for the main install but they will be using the same /var directory for my MythTV media. Both builds are based on 8.10. I will probably only boot to the old ubuntu once or twice. The installer says "The file System on /dev/sdc3 assigned to /var has not been marked for formatting. Directories containing sytems files that already exist under any defined mountpo [02:11] doodle77: use version control like bzr or git [02:11] anyone with an intel x4500hd card with ubuntu? [02:11] doodle77: Do I need to copy everything from the /usr version or can i just add to my local one and have it "overwrite" the /usr defaults? [02:11] storbeck: i was hoping for some sort of revision control [02:11] Ubuntu rocks! All I wish was that Wine supported Adobe Photoshop :) [02:11] Chaorain: you can't share a /var [02:11] but i've never had to do anything like this [02:11] felixsulla: only add your local one [02:11] taylor_: i think it does [02:12] Louis: bzr or git [02:12] Louis: check out subversion [02:12] taylor_: try virtualbox in seamless mode, if you have a windows disk [02:12] yoyoned1: do those have to be aware of the filetype?

[02:13] yoyoned1: how do those compare to subversion? [02:13] nah; CS3 just doesn't want to run well :) [02:13] yoyoned1: unless you're trying to tell me to make a patch, which i might do if i actually have time at some point [02:13] NCommander: -J can be anything ask your real question instead of a generic one [02:13] now , the system detect two screen, but they show the same thing. [02:13] huwenfeng: just a guess, but maybe hardy doesn't fully support the 4500 [02:13] kitche, w.r.t to IRC [02:14] I've never seen +J/-J on freenode before. [02:14] huwenfeng: try asking #intel-gfx about the error you got [02:14] NCommander: a limit [02:14] NCommander: it throttles the join rate [02:14] NCommander: if you never seen it on Freenode then you have not been on freenode very often [02:14] What just happened? all those people just left and came back [02:14] but it doesn't handle netsplits well, so the bots unset it [02:14] kitche, I don't op on this server. [02:15] kitche: He's referring to 21:13 :: ServerMode/#ubuntu [+o FloodBot3] by irc.freenode.net [02:15] err [02:15] the one above that [02:15] storbeck: I know what he means [02:15] NCommander: you don't haev to op to see that but thena gain your off-topic [02:15] i am trying to connect a serial console to a linux box [02:15] i run "getty 9600 /dev/ttyS00 nodetach" [02:16] and after a few seconds it dumps me back to a prompt [02:16] and after a few seconds it dumps me back to a prompt [02:16] adn the terminal isnt connecting at all [02:16] comp only has one serial port, and its detected [02:16] !enter | rvn [02:16] rvn: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[02:21] soo many commands hard to remember which is which [02:21] Out_Cold: dmesg is another good way to try to see what drivers have been loaded [02:21] ops, wrong channel [02:21] Jufis: no [02:21] dmesg is better with grep though right? [02:21] does anyone here run Ubuntu with an Intel X4500HD graphic card? [02:21] What VPS do you guys use? [02:22] linny1, you sure? I thought that K-sign next to it's name in Add/Remove Applications meant that it needs KDE [02:22] innociv: virtuozzo [02:22] kitche, Ok I understand I can't swap back and forth but if I just ipdate will it delete everything or leave my videos alone? [02:22] remi: huwenfeng is running hardy with a 4500 apparently; why do you ask? [02:22] i'm using linode. Found an incrediably cheap one, cometvps, but don't know WHY it's so cheap [02:22] Jufis:it may install som libs but it will still work fine i use kde and gnome apps and i use openbox [02:23] i mean the actual host o_O [02:23] I'm having trouble getting my agere modem working in ubuntu. It's not recognized, and i can't get martian to work [02:23] innociv: your off topic go to #ubuntu-offtopic to ask your question but really if you don't know why they are cheap then you don't use VPS very much then [02:24] crdlb: i've been looking to buy this dell laptop, but it only comes with this specific card. and I've been reading a lot of negative things about it (and the intel xorg driver) so I wanted to make sure it would work correctly with Ubuntu. [02:24] Kitche? Eh? I mean why is it half the price of my current one, not why are vps cheaper than dedicated. But alright [02:24] any help on getting martian to work? i've followed the instructions and i still get an error with modprobe [02:25] innociv: like I said you must not use VPS very much or know hte differences between different VPS's [02:25] 21:13 :: ServerMode/#ubuntu [+o FloodBot3] by irc.freenode.net [02:25] whoops, sorry. [02:25] #intel-glx [02:25] Well that's what I meant. I tmustbe cheap because it's gimped.. [02:26] innociv: Just call the hosting provider for more info. [02:26] remi: you'd have to ask him, but it seems to be working except for multihead (it looks like the intel driver may still max out at 2048 by default even though the H/W is capable of more) [02:26] anyone know why I'm getting distorted sound with ubuntu 8.10 and Rhythm box [02:26] distorted sound? [02:27] storbeck, yes when I put my volume all the way up theres a slight distortion [02:27] Probably because your volume is all the way up...

[02:31] so how do i find what driver is installed for my ethernet? [02:31] RHorse, never happend before tho [02:32] linny1: storbeck:OH,Thank you very much.

[02:47] RHorse, from pulseaudio to ALSA then did killall alsa, I reverted by selecting them to autodetect and restarted pulseaudio and nothing [02:47] JKcomputer: what happens if you do sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade [02:48] Did alsa improve things? [02:48] RHorse, kinda, but it will be annoying not to have my buttons working! [02:48] Woah! Hello everybody!

Try aplay and look at the output [02:53] well I was almost positive alsa uses pulse [02:53] because you can't install alsa without pulse stuff also [02:54] RHorse, pastebin? the result [02:54] jmadero: sure you can [02:54] oh, that's news to me [02:54] hey all, is there a preference between apache2-threaded-dev and apache2-prefork-dev [02:54] jmadero: a default ubuntu install has alsa, with the pulse audio server [02:54] every time I install I get pulse also [02:54] ohh [02:54] gotcha [02:54] RHorse, nothing happens with aplay [02:54] tritium, do you know anything about USB sound cards?

[02:56] archer: #v4l [02:56] archer, what card? [02:56] !tv [02:56] http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out [02:56] you tried playing a .wav file? [02:56] it's a hauppauge HVR-1600 [02:56] not having much love from kde or gnome on the g4/800 laptop. Any recomened distro for that hardware? [02:56] RHorse, yes, well as I said I'll live with the sound distortion just the buttons I need them back [02:57] RHorse, they are trying to work when I press the mute button it tries to mute I see the window with the sound muted but theres still sound [02:57] kb3ien, what's the problem? [02:57] archer: check both the linuxtv.org page, and the mythtv wiki page, both specific to your card [02:57] RHorse, same for up/down volume [02:57] I have a bit of a predicament here. I'm trying to set up my home folder inside some kind of encrypted container (probably using TrueCrypt), however I want to have some kind of growing container (instead of a fixed-size container). Does anybody know of any way to pull this off? [02:57] many of the apps dont load, neither Firefox nor .piphany work out the box. [02:58] Or if I could encrypt my entire FS that would be cool too =) [02:58] Githlar: wouldnt it be easyer to encrypt tthe whole partition ? [02:58] fearful: if you're brave, reinstall alsa and pulseaudio [02:58] tritium: i've checked them pretty thoroughly, and i've been on a few other forums and sites, nothing that can help me === Qtpaxa2 is now known as Qtpaxa [02:58] RHorse, what do you mean brave? [02:58] is there a way to reset my mouse from terminal? I've misaligned my axis when I tried to drag and drop an opengl window when a game was loading [02:58] kde failed completely, but gnome at least starts most of the environment ok. [02:58] Githlar: you can encrypt the whole computer apart from /boot [02:58] RHorse, something might break? [02:58] archer: did you see the pages *specific* to your card? [02:58] Hello. I have a simple question: does WoW work well on Ubuntu? [02:58] What does dpkg --configure -a do?? [02:59] yea! [02:59] linny1: Hm... So just move /boot to another partition and encrypt the whole thing? [02:59] Aqui1a, I don't like that game but supposedly it works better in ubuntu than in Windows [02:59] mattgyver83: configure all pending packages that need it [02:59] tritium: yes, as much as possible, a lot of them were broken links though, and i couldn't find the new pages, if they exist [02:59] haha, restarting the game fixed it :) [02:59] Githlar: /boot is allready a separate partition [02:59] tritium thanks [02:59] linny1: Why would I even need /boot as I'd probably be using the TrueCrypt MBR. [02:59] Aqui1a: look at winehq appDb it tells you it works [02:59] linny: /boot is not separate on my setup. [02:59] It doesn't seem to be working [03:00] RHorse, how to re-install them? [03:00] kde (metapkg) has 6 broken depenencies in 8.10 dist-upgrade didnt help. [03:00] I've seen tests between Windows and Ubuntu where Windows shows 65-80 frames per second, Ubuntu 90-100 [03:00] Githlar: why use truecrypt the encyption software is built into ubuntu [03:00] linny1: just use the alt install cd [03:01] apt-get reinstall alsa-base [03:01] RHorse, reinstall invalid operatio [03:01] n [03:03] apt-get --reinstall alsa-base [03:04] what repository is kdeedu >] 4.1.1 in?

[03:04] any idea why mail() function from php would suddenly stop working after upgrade? everything is configured normally (running plesk) but mail() acts like it sends mail whilst actualy nothing happens [03:05] hAlp [03:05] Hello does anyone know how to use Wine? I am having trouble installing software... [03:05] i just installed it for the first time last night [03:05] jhonnyboy: what are you trying to do exactly? [03:05] jhonnyboy: i've used wine to some level, what are you trying to do? [03:06] I am trying to install Visual Basic Express. [03:06] jhonnyboy: okay, so you have an installer .exe [03:06] ? [03:06] when i click on the .exe and ask to open with Wine. It gives me the error: Unable to find a volume for extration. Please verify that you have proper permissions. [03:06] zch: Have you checked the mail logs/queue? [03:07] I have this really annoying pointer that I don't know how to get rid of. It only shows up when loading, but no matter what theme I pick it's still there, and I can't delete the pointer theme from customize appearances. [03:07] Assistance? [03:07] hmm alsaconf tells me no supported PnP or PCI card found even though I clearly built in Intel_HDA_INTEl in the kernel [03:07] cipherSimian: and i can't even mount any of my local disks now, this is weird. [03:08] anyone use the ati fglrx 9.2 proprietary driver [03:08] Hi, how do I drop back to a terminal from my login prompt? ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't seem to work, but ctrl-alt-escape does seem to restart X [03:08] if I have 2 netcard and are rangeing 2 different ip's, can I just use host name { hardware ethernet mac; fixed-address blabla; } and then i work on both eth1 and eth2 where i'm running dhcpd? [03:08] s/login prompt/window manager login prompt/ [03:08] jhonnyboy do you need to run the wine cfg still? [03:09] mosfet_wow: i have never ran it. What am i suppose to do there? [03:09] Everything in the configuration has the default settings. [03:09] umm let me check the command, it creates the C: drive that wine uses once you run it [03:09] jhonnyboy: do you know what version of Wine you are using? [03:10] werdnum: ctrl+alt+f1 then login you might need to go to f2 [03:10] can someone point me in the direction for setting up wireless, have a broadcom card i think [03:10] archer: I am using Wine 1.0.1 [03:10] lol just type winecfg into the terminal [03:10] !wifi | french [03:10] french: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:11] wineprefixcreate ? [03:11] just winecfg should do it [03:11] I know how to get inside the configuration. [03:11] jhonnyboy: using the same version i've never had any issues running .exe files of any sort. also, the default settings of wine should be pretty much all you need [03:11] archer: Thanks archer. [03:11] archer: Why do you think i am getting that error message? [03:12] archer: It can't find a volume for extraction, and Ubuntu isn't letting me mount any of my disks all of the sudden. [03:12] Hey, all. I need desperate help. I'm nearly at Step 9 of "https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/13899" but I have no idea how to mount another hard disk I don't know the name of [03:12] Please [03:12] why oh why oh why would mail() from php stop working and therefore make zillion contact forms on sites not working and therefore making my boss gonna hang me upside down [03:13] jhonnyboy do you have the .wine directory in your home directory? [03:13] mosfet_wow: Yes. [03:13] zch: /join #php [03:13] the ubuntu mainline kernel builds can be used on any release of ubuntu? even 8.04? [03:13] i'm talking about these - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds [03:14] I have this really annoying pointer that I don't know how to get rid of. It only shows up when loading, but no matter what theme I pick it's still there, and I can't delete the pointer theme from customize appearances. [03:14] jhonnyboy: that's pretty strange, least i've never had that problem. treating the two problems as seperate, i'd make sure the .exe file is in a directory all users have read and write privlages too [03:14] jhonnyboy do you have drive_c too? [03:14] inside that .wine directory? [03:14] mosfet_wow: Yes i do. [03:14] jhonnyboy: as far as the mounting issue, i've never heard of that, first thing i'd do though is restart. [03:15] are you running the install exe off the CD? [03:15] archer: Should i mount them before i try to install anything? [03:15] :/ [03:15] archer: Also for some odd reason, when i do a warm boot from Ubuntu, my computer freezes at the BIOS/POST. This doesn't happen when i warm boot from XP though. [03:16] archer: could that be Grub? [03:16] jhonnyboy: i wouldn't think so, grub should treat everything equally. [03:17] I have the same problem [03:17] Keith_M_: the warm boot problem? [03:17] yes [03:17] Keith_M_: It's very weird. [03:18] it just sits there while the cursor flickers [03:18] I have to shut down my machine in order to restart from Ubuntu [03:18] who can give me a sample about 'whereis command" and''whatis command" [03:18] exactly [03:18] [03:18] opera: you mean "which"? [03:18] We'll im going to reboot, mount the drives, and then try the install. [03:18] If not i don't know what else to try [03:19] Thanks for all your help everyone. I should be back on to give you guys an update in a few. [03:19] anyone mind telling me why steam wont startup on my Ubuntu? [03:19] GeffIsLegend: are you using wine? [03:19] Keith_ whereis command—Returns the location of the command and its man page. [03:20] yes im currently using wine, when i doubleclick my steam icon on the desktop it saying starting up but nothing ever happens [03:20] How are drives listed in the installer. I forgot to check which was drive A and which was Drive B, and now I need to know [03:20] Please [03:21] GeffIsLegend: I suggest looking at the winehq appdb to make sure you have it configured all correctly including the fonts that need to be installed among other things [03:21] okay thanks ill look at it [03:21] !whereis [03:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about whereis [03:21] i am new to ubuntu, (used fedora) anyways trying to get my wifi card working, from this page http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/ i loaded those lines it said in teh source.list, but now what do i do to install it? [03:21] GNU [03:21] !GNU [03:21] G(NU's) N(ot) U(nix). A project that aimed to develop a complete operating system of Free Software, which Ubuntu is based on. See http://gnu.org [03:22] I'm trying to run freenx and enlightenment on Ubuntu 8.10 [03:22] winehq appdb isnt working for me for some reason :-/ [03:22] no matter what settings i try in the client, the most i can get is an xterm [03:23] GeffIsLegend: yeah seems down the mysql server must have broke [03:23] ooo lame :p [03:23] GeffIsLegend: seems like to many people are trying to use it right now [03:23] hah makes since [03:23] GeffIsLegend: use WineDoors [03:23] what is that if i might ask? [03:24] well darn [03:24] Anyone here had any experience with freenx + enlightenment, or freenx in general? [03:24] It's a program for wine that installs a lot of 'common' apps. It will automatically install Steam for you [03:24] And it will install correctly ;) [03:24] oh okay thanks ^^ ill try it out now hah, should i uninstall the steam i have now ? [03:24] Thanks for the help [03:25] Good night [03:25] runey: i use freenx with openbox but it just works never had problems [03:25] storbeck: there is winedoors and especialy for games there is playonlinux [03:25] evenin' folks [03:25] storbeck: maybe one of them can install steam [03:26] RHorse, didn't work [03:26] GeffIsLegend, actually Winedoor will install steam to a different local (but uninstalling would free up the disk space) [03:26] linny1: which client [03:26] did something get screwed with firefox watching Youtube with a recent update? === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [03:26] oh okay thanks Zykotic im going to do that now [03:26] mgolisch: I wasn't the one with the problem ;) [03:26] !away | Andre_Gondim-afk [03:26] Andre_Gondim-afk: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [03:26] storbeck: yeah just noticed that [03:26] :) [03:27] when you use nano, how do you press 'enter'? [03:27] runey: what do you mean ? i use nxserver with nx client [03:28] mattgyver83, as usual, but many of the commands don't use enter, but ctrl+X [03:31] I'm using gnome with no visual effects, I used devilspie to configure my terminal to be borderless with no window decorations etc... Is there a way I can use develspie to create the same effect with xchat? [03:31] linny1: the nomachine client? [03:31] runey:yes [03:32] fearful: same as before? [03:32] RHorse, the buttons sound I don't care [03:32] exodus_ms: why not? [03:32] exodus_ms: should work with all windows managed by the windowmanager [03:33] fearful: there may be a driver for those things that is not loaded. do some Googling [03:33] linny1: what settings did you use? + what version of client [03:33] RHorse, but they are working fine just not controling the sound I see the window come up [03:34] fearful: yes, the driver may need to be reconfigured [03:34] mgolisch, I tried to create a xchat.ds in ~/.devilspie I basically used the same configuration I used on the terminal.ds file, but after I logged off and back on, it did not work [03:34] exodus_ms: check xchat using xprop and see if the used windowclass or whatever identifier you used is realy right [03:35] RHorse, how can I check which driver? I've never had any problems with drivers everything worked fine === sal is now known as Guest5904 === ari_stre1s is now known as ari_stress [03:36] fearful: google ubuntu hp laptop audio buttons or something [03:36] mgolisch, I need to check the (is (application_name) "xchat") and (is (window_name) "xchat") ? ok will give it a try, thanks === Royall_ is now known as Royall === TLM22__ is now known as The_Laughing_Man [03:38] hello all [03:38] hello [03:38] exodus_ms: check using xprop if the properties used as an identifier in the devilspie script are realy right, it might not be xchat but something else [03:38] hello room looking for some help with compiz the burn effect wont work it worked a few times then all of sudden stoped working need some advice [03:39] mgolisch, ok [03:39] Is there anyone that could help me out with setting up xorg.conf with the whole Nvidia 96.43.xx drivers? [03:39] I'm trying to copy all of my settings files and folders from my home directory to a backup drive I have. Will cp -r ~/.* do the trick? [03:39] hey [03:39] so I'm running Ubuntu with a screen through S-Video as its display [03:40] Boy, the participation level in this irc is just so good. kudos to all who help! I think it must be unprecedented, no? [03:40] exodus_ms: like open a terminal type xprop, then click on the xchat window, it should display all the properties in the terminal [03:40] command-line stuff works fine, but when I start X, I get the display tiled in black and white across the screen 4 1/2 times [03:40] Wildburn: what do you need to set? [03:40] ASUSBlue, what vs of ubuntu are you running? i love the burn effect, but it doesn't seem to be in 8.10? [03:40] It's an Australian TV set to NTSC-M in BIOS (which it *should* be compatible with, PAL gives a similar thing except flickering) [03:40] = [03:41] I have this really annoying pointer that I don't know how to get rid of. It only shows up when loading, but no matter what theme I pick it's still there, and I can't delete the pointer theme from customize appearances. [03:41] Zykotic: to get the burn effect, you have to enable Animation Addons now [03:41] I improved the situation by setting refresh rate to 50 Hz [03:41] crdlb, not sure, im installing the glx from synaptic along with kernel source, and I get a glx cant initialize error in xorg.0.log and a black screen, reboot in recovery, run xfix, and get normal xorg.conf, so not sure what needs to go in to fix it, tried alot of stuff around the web but still black screen on it all [03:41] mgolisch, thank you was just reading the man page for xprop, got lost somewhere between "A window may be selected in one of four ways. First, if the desired window is the root window...." [03:41] i need help [03:41] Wildburn: what GPU model? [03:41] hey guys, if i am using slim as a login manager, and i want to start a program when it starts on boot, where should i put the commands for that? is there a place to start programs when x starts? [03:42] geforce 2 go [03:42] hi to everybody [03:42] Wildburn: heh, I have one of those [03:42] hi jmpsoftware [03:42] Wildburn: ended up just using 'nv' though [03:42] yeah its a tc-1000, figured it switch from winblows to xubuntu finally, and got everything working but nvidia [03:43] crdlb, so no 3d accel? [03:43] someone know live tv streaming to DSS solution on ubuntu? === fallore_ is now known as fallore [03:43] I can't drag and drop files from file roller to nautilus. How can I fix this? [03:43] crdlb, thanks so much :) that's awsome. been looking for that switch somewhere. ccsm is great, but there are almost too many options. [03:43] mgolisch, ok I have WM_CLASS(STRING) = "xchat", "Xchat" In the script I was using "xchat" [03:44] Wildburn: correct; nvidia-glx-96 worked last I tried, but it had some weird issues; like on the first X start after reboot, you'd get a screwed up screen and had to hit ctrl-alt-bksp to make it work [03:44] is there a way to get my startup apps to start in the 'right' workspace? [03:44] so I don't have to 'move to workspace right' everytime I boot up? [03:44] can anyone either direct me towards a guide for or help me set up samba (making files and folders accessible to windows comps on the network) through SSH? [03:44] does anyone here have gdoomsday? [03:44] Zykotic: not just almost :) [03:44] crdlb, I never even get a wierd screen, just black screen, no mouse pointer or anything [03:45] so just got the new release setup and import my old files over but i notice it no longer use my desktop... my home dir is the desktop. is this normal now? [03:45] Wildburn: make sure that the linux-generic package is installed (if you're using the generic kernel) [03:45] crdlb, i'm actually letting compiz draw my backgrounds right now, so i can have 4 different backgrounds (but i gotta say giving up the desktop is hard) [03:45] because when i go to pick armor up it wont show up in the hud [03:46] Hello everyone. [03:47] Got the drives to mount, but still no Wine progress :( [03:47] wine? [03:47] did you install it via synaptics package manager? [03:47] Yes. [03:47] jhonnyboy: what exactly are you trying to run/install? [03:48] is there a way to replace the lock file located in var\lib\dpkg? there is something wrong with the one i have and have problems using synaptics package manager. [03:48] archer: Microsoft Visual Basic Express Edition [03:48] ohh [03:48] archer: I am trying to install it. [03:48] crldb out of curiousity, what other kernel would be installed besides generic? it looks like linux-generic is installed, same with linux-generic-headers, but linux complete generic kernel isnt installed [03:48] archer: i have the vbsetup.exe on my desktop/ [03:48] mezy have you tried apt-get [03:48] Jhonyboy: you should use the browse C drive, then find the cd and run the install.exe or whatever [03:49] I have no idea what room to ask this in, so I'll ask it here [03:49] Wildburn: -server, -rt, -386. -generic is the right one though -- you can check which one you're using with 'uname -r' [03:49] What's a good CAD program for Ubuntu? [03:49] Or what room would I go to to ask said question? [03:49] jhonnyboy: i'm not familiar with it, but just an idea, everything i've run so far i've run off of a cd. wine might for some reason like it more if it is on a cd, just for kicks, i'd try putting the exe file on a cd and installing from that. [03:49] Wildburn: not yet. im new to ubuntu, and im just starting to understand someone this [03:49] Where do I put bash aliases? Do i have to reboot or something because I put them in /home/eseven73/.bashrc and they don;t work [03:49] wolfwalker, what flavor of CAD, for electronics go with gEDA [03:50] jhonnyboy: I'm coming in mid-conversation, and maybe you're just installing VB for laughs and to see how WINE is going... but if you're planning to do some visual programming on Linux, I recommend Gambas, which isn't quite VB compatible but is very good... [03:50] wolfwalker, there are a bunch of 2d ones for drafting [03:50] actually archer, i have installed alot of stuff through just placing .exe inside the windows folder [03:50] The_Laughing_Man: you a hacker? [03:50] mezy, try sudo apt-get update from terminal [03:50] Otherwise, there aren't any 3d ones that I know of [03:50] EtFb: Thanks, i actually need to VB not because i like it much, but because of school. [03:50] ya, i imagine that should work, but i'm just brainstorming at this point. [03:50] eseven73, did you restart bash with a new command "$ bash"? [03:50] mgolisch: Yes and No [03:50] n2diy porter1 not sure. I'm asking for someone else, and he hasn't told me yet. [03:50] need help burn effect in compiz is not working all other effects work fine === berat is now known as hellues [03:51] Zykotic: nope [03:51] n2diy porter1 mechanical [03:51] can anyone either direct me towards a guide for or help me set up samba (making files and folders accessible to windows comps on the network) through SSH? [03:51] you like gis or is your nick not related to that? [03:51] mgolisch: I do a fair amount of programming [03:51] yeah i like gits [03:51] jhonnyboy: Ah well, good luck getting it to run then. I'd always just go with VMWare Server and a virtual machine running Windoze, personally. Windows 2000 is quite usable on even an older machine. [03:51] crldb: yeah, uname -r returns 2.6.27-12-generic so I guess thats right [03:51] still didnt see that compilatory movie of the first tv series [03:51] :) [03:52] i wonder if itzs worth watzching [03:52] Wildburnm whoa, what happened? [03:52] Zykotic: ty that worked :) [03:52] You mean Solid State Society? [03:52] EtFb: so you recommend i just run a Virtual Machine? Sounds resonable. [03:52] !offtopic | mgolisch The_Laughing_Man [03:52] mgolisch The_Laughing_Man: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:52] i haven't seen the new movie [03:52] hmm i get this error when I start my computer: kernel panic not syncing vfs...? how to fix? [03:52] Hi, can anyone teach me on how do i do a network restart [03:52] Jhonnyboy: i think your best bet would be to install Windows XP in a VM and run VS.Net from that [03:52] mezy? in terminal you typed 'sudo apt-get update' without quotes? [03:52] Othor: Yes i concur. [03:52] kitche: srry, ill behave now [03:52] :) [03:53] Anyone know what would be a good mechanical CAD program for Ubuntu? [03:53] Is VMware a good choice to run Windows games from it? or would Wine be better in that case? [03:53] calvinyong: well there is a few ways to do it either using the script or doing it by hand [03:53] The_Laughing_Man: yeah, i guess ill just watch it [03:53] :) [03:53] mezy: it should refresh synaptic so its not locking files [03:53] Got a friend who just went all-Linux and is looking for one. [03:53] Jhonnyboy: i like VirtualBox [03:53] jhonnyboy: Hell, yeah. You don't want to trust WINE to run development software like VB (or Delphi, or Visual Studio). It's not there yet. May never be. [03:53] wolfwalker: I believe autocad has a linux version [03:53] kitche: is there any commands to run a network restart ? [03:53] Othor: I have Windows 7 Beta on VBox right now. [03:53] Othor: yeah virtualbox isnt bad, only thing that drives me crazy is its horrible network configration stuff [03:54] Wildburn: hmm.... thanks. i'll see if my problem was solved by updating a few things [03:54] wolfwalker: qcad, but it's only 2D [03:54] its a pain to setup hostinterface based networking [03:54] EtFb: So what is Wine good for? I'll just run it off Vbox [03:54] jhonnyboy: VMWare Server is free (as in beer, not as in speech) and very good. [03:54] wolfwalker: did you try Qcad? [03:54] mgolisch: the new virsion of VBox has fixed most of that imo [03:54] <_VIM_> Zykotic: errr I thought it worked, but now if i try to edit ~/.bashrc it just goes back to how it was before i edited it [03:54] loll [03:54] jhonnyboy: WINE is fine for most stuff, but compilers and debuggers really stress any OS. [03:54] is there a way to get my startup apps to start in the 'right' workspace? so I don't have to 'move to workspace right' everytime I boot up? [03:54] mgolisch: get the newer closed source version [03:54] EtFb: just curious, why do you say not to trust Wine with development software? [03:54] The_Laughing_Man: that's what I recommended to him, if he only need 2D. [03:54] wolfwalker: google cad linux click first link, theres about 50 programs there, give a few a try and find one that works for you [03:55] jhonnyboy, you can't really run games in VMWare (to my knowledge) Virtualbox 2.1 does have limited 3D support, but it's nowhere near able to play 3D games - it can play Pinball pretty decently (which wine doesn't really do) but your best bet on running MS games in Linux is Wine for sure :) good luck. [03:55] doodle77: i use vmware workstation now [03:55] can anyone either direct me towards a guide for or help me set up samba (making files and folders accessible to windows comps on the network) through SSH? [03:55] calvinyong: yes ifconfig down && ifconfig up && dhclient that is if you use dhcp [03:55] kitche: thanks alot [03:55] Zykotic: Thanks :) [03:55] archer: Development software generally = programming language compilers and debuggers. They push a system much more than word processors, games, etc. WINE isn't a 100% perfect emulation of Windows, and 100% is generally what you need. [03:55] Thank you everyone for your outstanding support :) [03:56] Goodnight everyone. [03:56] Does anyone know if you can create a first person shooter in pygame? [03:56] Thankee all who gave suggestions. My friend has tried qcad, and it seems he has gone down the google path. Oh well, I tried......... [03:56] jhonnyboy: I agree with Zykotic - VMWare is not so good for games, mainly cos the video drivers are very vanilla. [03:56] or with pygame rather [03:56] EtFb: I would agree on that, but wouldn't you be adding stress just running an emulation? I admit i'm not really knowledgeable on the topic. [03:56] _VIM_, are you saving the changes? [03:57] yeah [03:57] wolfwalker: there are versions of autocad and similar that are not free for linux but are just like windows versions [03:57] archer: Different kind of stress. You're stressing the emulation, ie demanding that it do things exactly right. The stress on your system (ie CPU, memory) is a secondary consideration. [03:58] Zykotic: nevermind i got it :) [03:58] EtFb: ok, thanks, just curious. [03:59] archer: Of the four options (run in a VM; dual boot; run in an emulator; use native Linux software) I find the VM solution works best for Delphi, my Windows-only language of choice. [04:00] Wildburn: i have a new problem. i couldn't install something called ''linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic'' and an error about sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmetation fault. [04:00] archer, if your cpu supports the virtualization extensions, VMs can come close to running at native speeds [04:01] archer, both kvm and virtualbox support that, vmware i'm not sure [04:01] mezy, try sudo dpkg --clear-avail , then try sudo apt-get update [04:01] Is anyone here knowledgeable with Python and Pygame? [04:01] I don't know virtual machines, all i've ever run is wine, if i were to use a virtual machine, would i be able to use Windows drivers for in this case my tvcard? [04:02] Wildburn: sure [04:02] even if i had to then use a windows program to view the tv video [04:02] archer: yes you basically install windows from a windows cd into the vm, and then run that install with all windows drivers [04:02] archer, i doubt any virtualization could support a tvcard at all :( what kinda tvcard is it? there is good linux support for several tv cards [04:03] wildburn: thanks. is there a way for me to use my dual-boot XP partition in a VM? [04:03] Wildburn, archer , not sure that'll work with a card. it might work with a USB dongle [04:03] Zykotic:Ive run tvcards in VMware before, it just depends on what level of hardware access you allow it [04:03] archer, not really. The 'hadware' between the two is too different, XP will keep wanting to be reactvated. [04:04] Zykotic, it's a hauppauge hvr-1600. i've had some weird issues with it and i've spent HOURS trying to get it to work on this computer [04:04] Wildburn, really, wow Virtualbox does NOT support that! USB stuff works OK in VB thought [04:04] archer: no in a virtualization you are basically using a giant swap file as the drive, and in the swap file you have windows installed [04:04] what command can i enter through ssh to see if the computer i am connected to has samba installed? [04:04] Zykotic: well the flip side is VMware costs a hell of a lot more [04:05] Wildburn: ok, thanks. [04:05] fallore, samba -v? [04:05] Wildburn: VMWare Server is zero-cost (ie free of charge, though not free/open source ) [04:05] archer, i've got one of those working on an 8.04 htpc box for my mom. i have to manually install the driver after every kernel update, PITA, but support is scheduled for a future time :) [04:05] has anybody tried to compile ruby-1.9.1-p0 on 8.10? it's giving me nothing but headaches and the #ruby-lang folks don't have any ideas [04:05] n2diy: command not found, that means no right? [04:05] if anyone could help me with the tv card i'd be much obliged. Zykotic, i can't FIND the driver, all i can find are broken links. [04:05] Zykotic, AFAIK USB is 'passed through' to the guest OS, so the guest can load 'drivers'. (PCI) Cards need to be vritualised and presented to the guest (e.g. whatever NIC you actually have, the guest sees a virtual NIC) so unless the host supports the card the guest is SOL. [04:06] EtFb: really? used to cost money, havent used it in a while [04:06] n2diy: i tried sudo apt-get install samba and it told me it was already the newest version, so i guess it's installed. [04:06] fallore, thath would be my guess, I'm not real familiar with Samba [04:06] Does anyone know if theres a flash substitute on ubuntu? [04:06] archer, lol - i had the same problem, gimmie a second will take a look [04:06] fallore, maybe it isn't running, I'd check the man page. [04:06] <|kush|> anyone install ubuntu inside windows? [04:06] thanks [04:06] man, i thought ubuntu would 'just work'. [04:06] Wildburn: They made quite a splash with VMWare Player, which is kind of like Acrobate Reader but with VMs instead of PDFs. Then they made VMWare Server free, without much fanfare. [04:07] mezy: ubuntu does just work, unlike many other distros [04:07] The_Laughing_Man: Have you enabled Medibuntu? You can just install the standard Flash. [04:07] EtFb: ahh yeah thats right, I recall now [04:07] Hi there, I"m having trouble with running Ubuntu 8.10 inside virtualbox. After I update ubuntu, anytime i reboot thereafter, I can't get themes to work. [04:07] It uses the default ugly as sin "raleigh" theme [04:07] I feel you mezy, cant get this damn geforce 2 go to actually initialize 3d accel [04:07] etfb: im talking about development not playback [04:07] unless I load the theme manager [04:07] sprinkmeier_, that's why i was amazed that vmware could do it, it would need a driver for tvcards! VB 2.1 supports 64bit guests on 32bit hosts - that boggles my mind as well. [04:07] Then it goes back to human [04:08] The_Laughing_Man: Most of the time it does, and more often than others... but it's not perfect yet. [04:08] AlexMan: reinstall [04:08] Why does this happen? I've been able to replicate the bug twice now [04:08] pHreaksYcle: Done so, it's done the theme bug both times [04:08] etfb: Medibuntu you say? [04:08] AlexMan: that's odd as all hell. [04:08] The_Laughing_Man: im just frustrated with this [04:08] Zykotic: Vmware is a bit different though in that it can actually take full control of hardware from the host OS [04:08] The_Laughing_Man: How do you mean? With Player you couldn't make new VMs, but you could use them (ie "play" them). [04:09] AlexMax: whenever ive had problems with themes being wonkey, it's because of graphics issues, every time [04:09] The_Laughing_Man: Yep, google it. Follow the repository instructions to add keys and entries and all that stuff, then use aptitude or apt-get or whatever. [04:09] AlexMax: may want to check that sector [04:09] etfb: Its more like adobe flash 5 or the newer cs4 [04:09] The_Laughing_Man: im just frustrated with this 'unpacking replacement linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic' thing/ sorry, cant type in the dark [04:10] mezy: what are you trying to install that you need to unpack the linux iamge? [04:10] The_Laughing_Man: Exactly. If you already have a VMWare VM made by someone else, you use Player and you effectively have yourself a brand new computer inside a box. If you want to make your own, you use Server and it's pretty full-features. Gorgeous piece of software. (I'm a fan; can you tell?) [04:10] i need help configuring samba through SSH, is anyone experienced with it? [04:10] mezy: How can you not type in the dark? i KNOW where all my keys are [04:11] etfb: alright ill check it out, thanks. [04:11] fallore, ssh -X, the nuse GUI tools (if you're familiar with them) [04:11] mezy: that image is unpacking the actual linux kernel, you shouldnt need to be doing that [04:11] i am not, sprinkmeier_, what are they? === eric is now known as Guest86152 [04:11] The_Laughing_Man: im trying as hard as i can. my dog is messing with me also [04:11] fallore, neither am I, I use the files :-) [04:11] mezy: uhh yeah hes right dont do that [04:11] mezy: On the internet, nobody knows your dog is a dog... [04:11] how can i change the premission of a dir to my user??? it's currently set to "nobody" [04:11] fallore, but I haven't some much samba in ages... a bit rusty. What do you need to set up? [04:12] archer, it's the v4l driver that you need to manually download / compile / install http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Main_Page that will get the 1600 working :) good luck. [04:12] lol EtFb [04:12] sugl: edit your fstab file [04:12] Wildburn: its a process that the update manager is doing. [04:12] DCC SEND hugeniggersluts 0 0 0 [04:12] sprinkmeier_: i just need to create a folder that is shared throughout the network/domain that the pc is already on that is as low into root as possible (so that there isn't a long address path). [04:12] Wildburn: im just looking at the details [04:12] Zykotic, thanks, maybe i'll have more success now [04:12] mezy: really? try rebooting and then just running jockey for updates [04:12] sugl: it should be in /etc/ [04:13] sprinkmeier_: knowing how to edit the smb.conf through ssh would be helpful as well [04:13] mezy: is the update manager failing and halting? [04:13] The_Laughing_Man: why would it be in the fstab, it's just one dir i need the change the premission of [04:14] pHreaksYcle: Graphics issues? [04:14] fallore, fire up your favourite editor (vi, pico) and have a look at the conf file. towards the end there are examples of shared drives, one of those should be suitable to copy/munge/paste [04:14] I'm installing this on a virtual machine [04:14] Wildburn: frozen i guess, what is jockey anyway? [04:14] sprinkmeier_: can't fire up an editor, i'm connected through SSH [04:14] sugi, if the directory is a mounted filesystem (i.e. USB drive) then fstab sets the permissions/ownership. If the directory is 'normal' then use chown [04:14] AlexMan: yeah, like bad settings, you know. things borked in ur x config w/e [04:14] mezy:jockey is the automatic update thing that tells you when new updates are available [04:15] fallore, vi is a commans-line editor, so is pico, nano etc... (I believe nano is farly easy to use) [04:15] <_VIM_> fallore that's why he said vi or pico [04:15] i didn't understand what he meant but i do now, thanks _VIM_ and sprinkmeier_. i'm looking at it in nano now [04:16] Wildburn do updates work on a live cd? [04:16] pHreaksYcle: then why would my theme come back when i bring up the theme menu [04:16] and this is from a CLEAN install [04:16] i just update [04:16] <_VIM_> nano :pppppt! [04:16] then install the vbox guest addons [04:16] and that's it [04:16] mezy:is it an actual cd? [04:16] AlexMax: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:16] sugl: whoops, i misread thought you type drv not dir [04:16] AlexMax: not sure my man, just telling you my experiences. no need to get hostile [04:16] fallore, the other way to do it is to use X tunneling, run "ssh -X username@hostname" and rhen you can start X programs on "hostname" (like gedit etc) [04:17] mezy: since you cant write to a cd, things like unpacking the kernel and updating wont work because it cant write the updated kernel to drive [04:17] how can i see what kernel version i have running [04:17] pHreaksYcle: Not hostile :) [04:17] The_Laughing_Man: im sorry what did you say. my pidgin crashed on me [04:17] Wildburn: not really, its on a usb. i only asked that because i still see the 'install' on the desktop [04:17] mezy: for that matter not sure if live cd from something like external hard drive would allow updates either [04:17] panfist, uname -a [04:17] panfist, uname [04:17] sugl: whoops, i misread thought you type drv not dir [04:18] what if i want to upgrade my kernel from .26 to .28 [04:18] mezy:ok usb I know, thats how I usually install mine, it wont write to the drive on a live cd, youd need to actually go ahead and install, either to the flash drive, another flash drive or a hard drive [04:18] The_Laughing_Man: :p [04:18] panfist, use your package manager. [04:19] panfist: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [04:19] Zykotic: i'm feeling like a bit of an idiot here, but i'm still not able to find it, and all of these links are for me failing... [04:19] AlexMax: what theme did you say it defaults to? [04:19] how to list all the symbolic links of a directory recursively ? [04:19] sugl: have you tried right clicking the dir then going to properties then permissions? [04:19] The_Laughing_Man: do you know how ot change premission of a dir and all the files within i? [04:19] Wildburn: i wanted to use ubuntu on a usb so i wouldn't have to install it on the hdd. [04:20] i'm actually running lenny... but i'm thinking of going back to ubuntu server. the last two versions of ubuntu gave me problems with raid [04:20] mezy: ah then youd actually need to install it to the flash drive, not just run the iso with syslinux or what have you [04:20] maxagaz, to do a recursive directory listing use "ls -R" or "find" [04:20] archer, tisk tisk first hit of google "v4l download" = http://www.linuxtv.org/repo/ [04:21] sprinkmeier_ and to get symbolic links ? [04:21] mezy:how big is the flash, and do you have another? you could always use the smaller to run the livecd, then install across to the other flash drive [04:21] panfist: We don't support Debian here; you'd want to ask in the #debian channel (here or on OFTC) for help with that. As far as Ubuntu goes, the current stable version, Intrepid, has 2.6.27. Jaunty, which comes out in April, will have 2.6.28. [04:21] <_VIM_> fallore you'll have to enable X forwarding in sshd_config, I don't beleive it's enabled by default...look for X11Forwarding and make it say X11Forwarding yes then restart ssh server [04:21] hi there, Q: I'm in ubuntu 8.04 which libary is suposed to be the glibc in ubuntu? (I mean the binary) [04:21] The_Laughing_Man: yes, but this way i would have to manually change every file int he dir [04:21] Zykotic: thanks, i found it, actually, just took me a bit to weave through the link maze [04:21] _VIM_: is that something you do if you're on windows? [04:22] maxagaz, if the directory _contains_ links then they should show up. use "ls -l" or "find -ls" to highlight them. To find all symbolic links that "point to" the directory is another matter, you pretty much have to grovel your whole filesystem to find them. [04:22] Wildburn: i still have the live cd, if that could be used. and the size is about 2gigs [04:22] sugl: what exactly are you trying to do? [04:22] <_VIM_> fallor I'm not sure, I was refering to a Linux SSH server [04:22] sure, boot off livecd itself, then run that install on desktop and when you get to the partition manager select the flash drive as thbe install location. then boot from flash drive after install is complete [04:22] sug1, chown --recursive [04:23] _VIM_: is that the equivalent of like, VNC? [04:23] I am trying to fix an error that is showing in my mail.log. The error is FAILED - unexpected , output="/var/lib/amavis/tmp/amavis-20090301T221847-03504/parts: lstat() failed. ERROR\n". The setup is clamd with amavis. The sites I see show that I need to add the group. This is what I added to /etc/group amavis:x:118:clamav Does anyone have any suggestions [04:23] <_VIM_> fallore_: I'd imagine the openssh-server for windows probably is set up the same way, with X forwarding not enabled [04:23] im tryign to change the premission of this directory from nobody to my user name. i can't access it from my user, i have to be in root to access this. but that is no good [04:23] <_VIM_> fallore_: no it's kind of like TELNET but safer [04:23] <_VIM_> !ssh | fallore_ [04:23] fallore_: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [04:23] sprinkmeier: i forgot all about ch >.> [04:23] question: I have a machine with two network interfaces, a lan and a wifi. The lan connection has internet access, but it insists on using the wifi to try and connect to the internet. Is there a way for force it to use the lan interface for internet access? [04:24] sprinkmeier_: how would i apply this to my directory and tell it to chagne premission to my user not root [04:24] Wildburn: thanks, i seen something like this before, but i didn't trust it because it was for an older version. [04:24] fallore_, graphics in unix/linux are based on the X protocol. This can be sent through a socket, even a network socket, so the computer that runs the program does not have to do the graphical display. SSH offers a way to securely tunnel this X traffic (ssh -X) [04:24] Anyone have any ideas? [04:24] avian: I usually right-click the network manager applet icon in the notification area and uncheck "Enable wireless" when I'm in that situation. [04:24] mezy: no problem, and have fun with it [04:24] afk === FireFox16 is now known as b-man [04:25] sug1, sudo chown --recursive USER /home/USER [04:25] rww: I basically want the box to act as a proxy for computers on the wifi. [04:25] sug1, this command is kind of unforgiving, experiment with a sub-tree first (/home/USER/foo or somesuch) [04:25] Can anyone help me with my error with amavis? [04:25] avian, would it be possible to disable the wireless? [04:25] Wildburn: wish me luck, please, seriously, i have messed a computer while using ubuntu for the first time [04:25] <_VIM_> speaking of ssh and vnc and all that, where can i get freenx? im not seeing it in the repos, and google is failing me... [04:25] sprinkmeier_: wouldn't "chown user.user dir -R" be better? [04:25] rww: laptop connects to server over wireless, server connects to internet and replies with the data. So wireless is requied [04:26] peace out [04:26] required. [04:26] sprinkmeier_: ill give it a try thanks [04:26] Zykotic, I need the wifi to be active too. [04:26] avian: Ah. No idea, then. [04:26] rww: thanks anyway [04:26] avian, just checking the easy answer. i have no idea man... === miguel is now known as Guest62527 [04:27] Caplain, user.group, not user.user (though most distros create a group for each user with the same name). --recursive (long option) is 'better' than -R (short option) IMHO because a typo will cause an error rather than potentially nuking things [04:27] hmm, newbie question. :) is there supposed to be an "etc" directory in /opt? i think the rsync guide i just followed was in error and i think it cluttered up some stuff [04:27] Does anyone know how to force a wifi interface to use a lan interface for internet access? [04:27] Or how to set which interface is used for net access? [04:28] Can anyone help me with my error with amavis? [04:28] I am trying to fix an error that is showing in my mail.log. The error is FAILED - unexpected , output="/var/lib/amavis/tmp/amavis-20090301T221847-03504/parts: lstat() failed. ERROR\n". The setup is clamd with amavis. The sites I see show that I need to add the group. This is what I added to /etc/group amavis:x:118:clamav Does anyone have any suggestions [04:28] Avian: why not just disable your wireless? [04:28] Barridus, sometimes.... /opt is supposed to be for 'optional' software, and sometimes they whack in a etc there as well. Depends on distro, softrware installed, POM..... [04:28] Barridus, no default /opt/etc (in 8.10) [04:28] Wildburn: I need to have both wifi and lan. [04:28] hang on reading back [04:29] avian:what system? [04:29] sprinkmeier_: thank you it worked [04:29] wildburn: cli ubuntu 7.04 [04:29] i'd like to create a folder (\\htpc\xbmc\media) and share it throughout the windows network that the pc is connected to using SSH. can anyone help me? [04:29] avian: lol I meant hardware actually [04:29] Wildburn: It's a toshiba 1410 laptop, sans screen. [04:30] avian: You're aware that 7.04 doesn't get security updates any more? [04:30] rww: yeah, but I'm not overly concerned with that. [04:30] avian:I would seriously consider moving to a newer distro 8.04 or 8.10 on either on my tc1000 it will use whichever can get an IP address between wireless and ethernet [04:30] avian: or see if you can get the deb of the newer network manager to run [04:31] ok sprinkmeier_ thank you, i'll be careful [04:31] Wildburn: It's a cli system, and for me to upgrade it would take... [04:31] wildburn: around six days of constant downloading. [04:31] avian: have you tried wlconfig? [04:32] RHorse: wlconfig - command not found. It's a command line system. [04:32] fallore_, http://pastebin.com/d27a082f7 some steps for smb.conf editing [04:32] How to set the keyboard layout to Malaysian? I can't find it in keyboard preferences / layout. [04:32] avian: sri! iwconfig [04:33] RHorse: Yes, I have tried iwconfig. Is there anything specific I should be trying? [04:33] avian is it encrypted connection? [04:33] RHorse: No, I have no problems with the wifi *connection*, I want the machine to use the LAN connection for internet access. [04:33] can someone tell me where in ubuntu the libc binary is stored? [04:34] glicb [04:34] avian: ah I see your not running a GUI at all? going to be difficult to do much with that, I assume you only need the lan connection in certain locations where you dont have wireless available? [04:34] avian: I see. [04:34] avian: ifconfig is what you want. [04:34] love hardcore [04:34] ssastre: what version of Ubuntu? [04:35] 8.04 [04:35] how can i access network files on xubuntu? [04:35] RHorse: Could you be more specific? I have no problems with any connections at all, it just insists on using the wrong interface for net access. [04:35] where can I update drivers for my video card? [04:35] rww: 8.04 the most recent [04:35] avian: why is it the wrong interface? [04:35] and how? [04:35] avian: could you paste the results of ifconfig === smpi__ is now known as cayouth_crew [04:35] currently installing 8.10 on a classic imac G3 [04:35] !pastebin | avian [04:35] avian: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[04:36] Anyone running mythtv on cox communications? Care to join me in ubuntu-offtopic for some Q & A? [04:36] no, subhramalya, we're all gone === nadira is now known as okky [04:36] how can i install theme [04:37] Wildburn: The lan one has internet access, because the wireless one won't work with my desktop. [04:37] avian: ok, so your using the wifi to connect for something besides web access? [04:37] avian: which of these do you want to connect to eth0 or eth1? [04:37] where do files sent by a gksudo'ed nautilus's move to trash go? nothing appeared in the trash [04:37] indo ja coy [04:37] RHorse: eth0 is the lan - it has net access. eth1 is wireless. [04:37] OK [04:38] Barridus, you've used su so it's the "root" account and not your user that is executing the command [04:38] Wildburn: The wifi is to connect the other computers I have on the wifi to the internet. The computers on the wifi would use the server as a proxy, giving them net access. [04:38] <^paradox^> i need a textual list of the files in a certain folder with full file names including extensions and in alphabetical order. is there a terminal command that will do this for me? [04:38] Barridus, there maybe a hidden folder called .trash [04:38] alooo === cayouth_crew is now known as buntet_boil [04:39] Wildburn: It works fine for local stuff, but the server tries to access the net through the wifi interface, not the lan interface. [04:39] Zykotic, right but if i'm still in that gksudo'ed nautilus...? [04:39] avian: is it dhcp connex? [04:39] apaan tu [04:39] ssastre: There's a "list files" link on packages.ubuntu.com.

I just need to know what binary library has the lockf function (I'm making a wrapper) [04:40] Zykotic, it was suggested here to me a while back to do that [04:41] ^paradox^: find `pwd` | sort [04:41] yessssssss [04:41] RHorse: eth0 is the lan interface. [04:41] no [04:41] avian: type sudo dhclient eth0 [04:41] http://pastebin.com/m687fba7b [04:41] ^paradox^: if you don't want it to be recursive change it to find `pwd` -maxdepth 1 | sort [04:41] Barridus, generally it is a horrible idea, perhaps special circumstances i don't know require it though???

[04:44] <_VIM_> Barridus: it's hidden [04:45] <_VIM_> ctrl + h key in nautilus [04:45] Barridus, ~/.local/share/Trash , or ~/.Trash (case matters) and ~ stands for your home dir [04:45] fallore_, there is a section 3/4 the way down i think, look for the printer share... [04:45] rww: I imagine is some .so file I need to know which one [04:45] hey,guys.i have met a question about vbox .my host os and guest os cannot connect to the internet at the same time.see the details:forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=14954 [04:45] Zykotic: do i put it with the printer stuff? [04:45] pareng nakal...... [04:45] izul, indonesian? [04:46] i,m trying to watch a long video on the web, youku (chinese youtube i think) but it alway s stops. can i play with some buffer for that [04:46] fallore_, ya, just after, it really doesn't matter where you put it, it's just convention [04:46] yes indonesian [04:46] nickrud, ok found the files. is there an easy way to recursively delete folders and contents? [04:46] !id [04:46] join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [04:46] Zykotic: is there an easy way to back up this file so that if i break something i can revert? [04:46] could be lib/libc.so.6 [04:46] izul, /join #ubuntu-id [04:46] qcjn: no, thats just youko that sucks because its transmission is so slow [04:46] fallore_, did you notice the separte user=share section? that's kinda important. [04:47] fallore_, sudo cp smb.conf smb.conf.origional [04:47] Barridus, yes; you can just delete the folder with nautilus (file manager) or use rm -r . Be cautious with -r [04:47] I'm trying to find a theme, to get rid of a mouse cursor that I don't like that won't go away, but the theme isn't listed in the themes filder, or the icons folder. [04:47] Zykotic: the part below the writable section in the pastebin? i didn't understand what it was. [04:47] How do I get rid of it? [04:47] I can't just go to appearance>themes>delete either. [04:47] it won't let me. [04:47] izul, #ubuntu-id is indonesian language [04:47] nickrud, nautilus sends things to trash. hence what got me in this mess [04:47] hi all [04:48] fallore_, look for a line that says "security = user" and change it to "security = share" [04:48] nickrud, essentially i have trash that can't be emptied [04:48] Barridus, ah, did you use nautilus as sudo ? [04:48] how can i install nvidia === smpi is now known as bulshiddd [04:48] nickrud, yes [04:48] my X does not start [04:48] ssastre: I imagine it'd be in /lib/libc.so.6 (or, if that's a symlink, wherever it points to)... [04:48] Wildburn: ok, that suks, if i have knew, wouldn't have start to look at it. Now i wanna know the end [04:48] with no errors [04:48] Barridus, that'll teach you :) sudo rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/* should empty your trash [04:48] any one can help me === ReLieC_93_ is now known as boyo [04:49] yes I think that too, I guess I'll try and see [04:49] fallore_, i'm creating something that every version of Windows I know (or samba) can connect too without having to map user account or anything -- there is NO security [04:49] 2.6.24-23-rt [04:49] thanks for the tips [04:49] no one? [04:49] oooo [04:49] Shervin: what version? [04:49] nickrud, thanks. i'll be trying this once my backup completes :D [04:49] gbgjhbhgvgjhb [04:49] Zykotic: i'm not sure if this is relevant, but it might help. there is already a folder accessible on the network (\\htpc\xbmc (xbmc is the user) that we can connect to. what we want is to have another file, \\htpc\media that is similarly shared. does this change anything? [04:49] Barridus, next time use gksu nautilus, gksu is intended for graphical program privilege escalation [04:49] boyo, english here [04:50] ghgyghubmdfjhghftggtftyf [04:50] Wildburn: what version of ubunut? [04:50] yeah [04:50] boyo: Do you have an Ubuntu support question? [04:50] Wildburn: how can i check [04:50] nickrud, yeah. hindsight 50/50 and all that XD [04:50] Linux shervin-desktop 2.6.24-23-rt #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Mon Jan 26 02:29:24 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [04:50] fallore_, ya it kinda changes things... i sec [04:50] err 20/20 LOL [04:50] boyo from java iscrocodile [04:51] Wildburn: how can i check? === fallore_ is now known as fallore [04:51] Barridus, hey, this is a trivial way to learn. I've seen some real doozies. And you can tell people about not using sudo nautilus from personal experience [04:51] hi guys, is there an open source software as an alternative to skype? that of course works with skype contacts etc (like pidgin with msn messenger for example) [04:51] Shervin: think that is 8.04 [04:51] hello could someone tell me of a program that will let me add files to a ISO? [04:51] fallore_, that means you already have a working share on this samba box called xbmc?! so just copy that section again in your smb.conf file and change the name and the path and your golden [04:52] i don't see that section :/ [04:52] Wildburn: so how can i install nvidia drivers? === Roy_Muzz is now known as Roy_M [04:52] Shervin: what video card? [04:52] woyow [04:52] zer0o: No. The skype communication protocol is convoluted and proprietary. There isn't an open-source version of it. [04:52] Wildburn: nvida === smpi is now known as i [04:53] nickrud, sudo rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/* did not empty root's trash. i assume i should use sudo rm -r /home/root/ insteaad of "~"? [04:53] nfhf [04:53] join #Ubuntu-Games [04:53] Barridus, sounds reasonable [04:53] shervin: he means model I think [04:53] Shervin:right, what I mean is, what model, like 7600gt? and so on, is it telling you to install the 99.43.xx drivers ? [04:53] <^Einstein> I just reinstalled alsa-base and I want to try to avoid pulseaudio on Intrepid 64. What alsa configuration do I have to manually do, because the default setup (with dkpg-reconfigure) does not output any sound although it thinks it's playing? === i is now known as cayouth_crew [04:53] rww: i dont think so, even kopete does skype... [04:53] Barridus, take a look in the trash there, see if that's where it is [04:53] omah sampean neng endi?????????????????????????????? [04:53] gefore fx 5200 [04:53] Shervin: after you install the drivers its a black screen? then you reboot in recovery and run xfix? [04:53] !id | boyo [04:53] yes, i know.... [04:53] boyo: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [04:53] boyo, language? [04:53] Hello [04:53] how can install ubuntu onto a usb drive? i dont see the option to do so [04:54] !usb | mezy [04:54] hello.... [04:54] mezy: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [04:54] !usb [04:54] lol [04:54] Wildburn: i dont know which driver i have to install [04:54] zer0o: Not according to kopete's webpage, it doesn't. [04:54] i love U full [04:54] i love U full [04:54] jibfsdbgsg [04:54] jgfjw [04:54] cayouth_crew: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:54] Wildburn: gefore fx 5200 [04:54] mezy: pendrivelinux.com [04:54] !bot [04:54] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [04:55] shervin: you need the 99.43.05 drivers I believe in synaptic, you also need nvidia-settings, nvidia-glx, and nvidia-kernel-source [04:55] pUntEL_ndUd, #ubuntu-id [04:55] rww: c-ron thanks [04:55] I own a Sony Vaio VGN-FW139E and I'm very new to ubuntu...I am trying to get my FN keys to work so I can dim my screen...it should work with FN+F6 for brighter and FN+F5 for dimmer....but they don't function at all. [04:55] rww: oh yeah? che this out http://extragear.kde.org/apps/kopete%20skype/ (not longer being developed for now but it will in kde 4.3) [04:55] it's draining my laptop battery [04:55] shervin:the glx will be for 99.43.xx as well [04:55] exit [04:55] exit [04:55] shervin:good luck though, im having the same problem with my laptop trying to get nvidia drivers going [04:55] Wildburn: so i look for synpatic? [04:56] shervin: click applications->system->synaptic package manager [04:56] zer0o: I don't see anything about that working in 4.3. Do you have a source? [04:56] zer0o: anyway, if it does, I guess the answer to your question is "kopete" :/ [04:56] Wildburn: my X does not come [04:56] rww: corridor's voices [04:56] nickrud, i can see the contents of /home/root in nautilus but not in root terminal [04:57] Barridus, ls -a lists hidden files/directories in the terminal (ones with a preceeding period) [04:57] rww: i dont like kopete, its too buggy thatz why i was asking for something else, i no wengophone, but dunno if it works with the skype contacts... [04:57] Hi. I'm considering a switch to Ubuntu from Windows XP, but I'm concerned about my iPhone. Your Wiki says I can't sync to the native iPhone music player with Amarok...will iTunes run ok in the Wine version Ubuntu supports? [04:57] Barridus, there shouldn't be a /home/root directory, root's home directory is /root??? [04:57] Zykotic: if you're busy i understand, but in case you just missed my last message i still need a tiny bit of help, but i feel like i'm really close to resolving this [04:57] shervin: open a terminal and type sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf then paste whats in there to paste.ubuntu.com [04:57] Tired_ winehq.com/appdb [04:58] Zykotic, ah, a good catch. Perfect example of my reading what I expected to read ;) [04:58] Tired_: I hear that iTunes doesn't run well in WINE. [04:58] hey I need help with an external display [04:59] hi all. i am helping my friend install grub but i just realized right now/he told me, that he did an ubuntu install in "windows"?? [04:59] Wildburn: damn i have no graphic [04:59] That sucks. Switching to a buggy, non-optimized third party media player on my iphone isn't really a good solution. [04:59] can i install grub for such environments? [04:59] fallore, sorry man... you have your working smb.conf backed up and your editing it now right? and you don't see the section with the printers? [04:59] Hi. I was wondering if anyone noticed my question earlier.... [04:59] afasaf probably WUBI [04:59] how do I get my version number of ubuntu? [04:59] tripps uname -r [04:59] Wildburn: can we join #flood? [04:59] tripps: lsb_release -a [04:59] Zykotic: i see the printer section [04:59] sure [04:59] <^paradox^> ok i have another quick question [04:59] no u [04:59] c-ron: WUBI is a bootloader? [04:59] c-ron: that's for the kernel version [04:59] c-ron: http://appdb.winehq.org/ now, apparently :) [05:00] afasaf wubi uses NTLOADER [05:00] k thanks - would be a good idea to put version number in "about ubuntu" dialog where it is in every other software on the planet ;) [05:00] does anyone know how to get the FN brightness keys to work? [05:00] c-ron: actually, i don't want to use NTLOADER.. that's why we are trying to isntall grub.. [05:00] afasaf so install grub :) [05:01] c-ron, that gives me kernel number - tritium gave me what I was looking for thanks [05:01] what is a good team speak client for ubuntu? [05:01] nickrud, Zykotic- i see the files now. "sudo rm -r /root/.local/share/Trash/*" is the syntax to clear root's trash, not "/home/root/etcetera"? [05:01] <^paradox^> every time i tried to cd into the folder NES roms it kept saying no such file or directory until finally added an underscore between NES and roms [05:01] c-ron: and it'll work for such environment? (as in, i've never written a config file for that) [05:01] telestrial, you have to add modules to kernel, i need to do the same, dont know how [05:01] c-ron: as in, i can't easily do (hd0, 0) or something, right? [05:01] <^paradox^> how do i cd into other such folders that have no underscores? [05:01] I just recently switched from vista and my battery life is like...HALF! [05:01] ^paradox^: cd like\ this or cd "like this" [05:02] Barridus, yes, root has it's home directly under the / because many people have /home on a separate partition which may not be mounted when trying to do maintenance. [05:02] i suppose the worst will be a path not found [05:02] afasaf grub config lets you remap those [05:02] !battery [05:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about battery [05:02] ^paradox^: or it is usually easier to rename the folder [05:02] I mean as it applies to my screen brightness [05:02] c-ron: awesome, thanks! [05:02] c-ron: i'll look it up.. [05:02] h [05:02] c-ron: the link you have gave i have already tried, it left me with a usb version of the live cd [05:02] ^paradox^, cd NES and tab for it to auto complete [05:02] Barridus, mea culpa about /home/root, I just read what I wanted when I saw that ;) [05:02] <^paradox^> hmmm interesting [05:03] nickrud, no it's cool you've been helpful [05:04] what happens if you are root via "sudo su" and then sudo a command? [05:04] fallore, do you see your currently shared folder somewhere? cause you need to find that! then copy it but change some of the details [05:04] mezy, thats what you want [05:04] is it the end of all things? === smpi is now known as cayouth_crew [05:04] c-ron: i want an updatable, bootable usb version of ubuntu. is that possible? [05:04] <^paradox^> aha ! lol i have it now [05:04] how do i disable write caching on an sd card? it is opened with gvfs, and hdparm -W 0 /dev/mmcblk0 doesn't work [05:04] !usb [05:04] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [05:04] nice [05:04] mezy: you want the second link [05:04] Barridus: you should use sudo -i instead of sudo su, but either way if you then sudo a command it's fine because root is listed in sudoers === Akuma0n3 is now known as Akuma [05:05] ? [05:05] Barridus: fine, but pointless ;) [05:05] jtaji, :) [05:05] Barridus, no. you can do sudo env | sort , gksu env | sort , sudo su then run env | sort, sudo su - and compare the environments you get [05:05] mezy: the second link in the sentence ubottu just posted, is about how to create a persistent install [05:06] <^paradox^> the tab thing works if i use it before the space [05:06] nickrud, ok i blew root's trash out with your commands. just because i'm paranoid i'm gonna try rebooting in case i destroyed everything in my previous attempts :) [05:06] * Barridus crosses fingers [05:06] I'm having trouble getting s-video to work as an external display [05:06] For some reason, there's one mouse cursor that only shows up while I'm using firefox, but I really don't like it, and I don't know how to get rid of it. I'm using ubuntu 8.10. [05:07] Zykotic: how do i copy a section of a file i'm looking at in nano? [05:07] Wildburn: and use which method? the last time i used this link, i chose the one that was easier for me to do. and a left me with a usb version of the live cd [05:07] <^paradox^> lmao im obviously terrible with a command line [05:07] <^paradox^> i was never any good at the dos prompt either [05:07] hi Wildburn [05:07] fallore, paper and pen if you have too, don't know the clipboard command in nano that's for sure; could do it in vi ;) [05:08] Wildburn: oh no, wait. actually, i messed it up [05:08] mezy: you want method 1 on that list [05:08] Wildburn, X starts but no nvidia no sound [05:08] Zykotic: how do i do it in vi? i'll try that instead [05:08] <^Einstein> !sound [05:08] 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 [05:08] fallore, nope vi is WAY too hard to explain accross irc [05:08] shervin: yeah try this link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/251107?comments=all read through comments it goes through lots of methods to attempt [05:08] it's okay, the cursor works :P === kitchen is now known as Guest12878 [05:09] shervin: im in the same boat, cant get nvidia to run on my laptop, so best I can offer is trying some of the listed methods in the bug report === acorb is now known as ACorb [05:09] D: [05:09] Zykotic: is this what is creating those shared directories? http://pastebin.com/m39da5fba [05:10] nickrud, Zykotic - i think things are back to normal. thanks a ton! [05:10] fallore, nope, not related at all [05:10] have anyone here encountered that the static network kept dropping using ubuntu server 8.04 [05:10] ? [05:10] whatthanks [05:10] <^paradox^> thanks for the help everyone. i think im gonna pick up one of those online training courses ive seen at the ubuntu site. i could use some hands on training [05:10] trthr === winston is now known as Guest56160 [05:10] Zykotic: that's the only thing that looks remotely related to actual shared directories. would it be helpful to just pastebin the whole file? === ReLieC_93_ is now known as cds [05:11] fallore, but you should already have a share working don't you??? [05:11] Zykotic: yes [05:11] i have set the static ip address for ubuntu server 8.04 .. and it will work for a few minutes.. after a while it will automatically drop [05:11] cikem [05:11] 6ytj [05:11] fallore, so that share MUST be in your current config file??? [05:11] I need some help figuring out how to get an external display working, I've checked the documentation, and most of it has to do with editing the x.org file [05:11] in the future, is it permissable to post a link that contains advice if i suspect it's faulty and have someone smarter than i look over it [05:11] Zykotic: or at least, if i go into "my network places" on windows i can go into folders on the computer and see the contents. [05:12] Barridus, absolutely yes [05:12] which apparently isn't as much in use in 8.10 [05:12] what your name [05:12] nickrud, good to know, thanks again. [05:12] cds this is ubuntu support, do you have a support question? [05:12] skype is spying on us http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=95261 [05:12] Wildburn: cool, im getting excited from just reading the tutorial [05:12] my home in new york [05:13] fallore, i don't understand??? but i don't think you should follow ANY of the pastebin directions as it will mess with your current working setup... [05:13] cds please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:13] mezy: yeah thats definitly the best method to learn ubuntu without trashing a drive [05:13] i zubaidah [05:13] !search cccc [05:13] Found: [05:13] I have been dist-upgrade'ing since breezy, cruft is starting to become a problem, and I know I am missing out on some of the newest features. I think I am going to reinstall for jaunty [05:14] your home [05:14] fallore, the section under [writable] could be adapted to whatever samba share you could need... but you really should see the share that's currently working in your smb.conf file???

[05:19] :q! (didn't i suggest NOT going into that?) [05:19] Hey [05:20] Zykotic: you just told me you couldn't explain it :P what does :q! mean [05:20] try nano or pico text editors. they're user-friendly :P [05:20] pogz: i'm leaving vi to use nano, i just don't want to save whatever i just did :p [05:20] :q means quit [05:20] fallore, sorry you may need to press ESC once, then the : key, then q, then !, then press enter (LOL) [05:20] fallore: that in vim means quit no changes [05:21] it just looked like an emoticon so i wasn't sure :/ [05:21] hello n__n [05:21] fallore: Vim Commands Cheat Sheet [05:22] thanks, redvamp128 [05:22] out of curiousity, video drivers installed via synaptic should modify xorg.conf right? do they modify at install or boot? [05:22] UBUNTU SUCKS! [05:22] olovram: no [05:22] Arch Linux is THE DISTRIBUCION [05:22] lol [05:22] !!!

[05:23] jiji [05:23] 8.10 i install tvtime and it let me without sound my ubuntu [05:23] just made a bet [05:23] Acer Aspire 6530 laptop. Anyone know of success with wireless, and card reader? Looks like everything else will work. Just haven't seen any confirmations on the wifi and card reader. [05:23] how mucho to get myself banned from here [05:23] n__n [05:23] olovram, no one is interested.. take your stuff elsewhere [05:23] Also I tried the live cd and all that was found was the onboard modem [05:23] factotum, try using ndiswrapper with windows drivers for the wireless, probably need to use fwcutter as well [05:23] aww [05:23] I have a file that I dont know how to install it says Nero Linux-3.5.0.1-x86, but it has two more tar.gz files in that? so what do I install and how? [05:23] thats cruel u.u [05:23] olovram: Go ask the rest of #archlinux. Half of them could tell you. [05:24] anyway, I do like ubuntu, just prefer pacman and rolling releases ;) [05:24] !ot | olovram [05:24] olovram: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[05:25] its hard to fine help these days [05:25] please don't let him influence your view of arch users... [05:25] Wildburn: you know if that will work with atheros wireless? evidently that's what it has [05:25] I used to work with other Arch users -- same [05:26] pogz, useradd [05:26] factotem, ndiswrapper works with a ton of wireless cards, id say google ndiswrapper atheros and see what you find [05:27] i was looking around for madwifi notes but it was claimed as buggy at best [05:27] hmm looks like atheros should have a built in driver, try getting it off synaptic package manager [05:27] factotum, i use madwifi on my acer (aspire one netbook) [05:27] Installing Ubuntu 8.04 Server, it fails when installing grub, seems the configuration is broken, is there a way to get a detailed error report other than "This is a fatal error."? [05:28] factotum, what ubuntu ver you running [05:28] I am trying to install StackSwitch for compiz but it seems I need to use git but I can't figure out how to. Any help with or around git? [05:28] 8.10 64bit [05:29] one of my machines is uploading an enormous amount of traffic -- how can I find out what type of traffic and where it is going? [05:30] <||dude> hi how can i start a liveUSB from a floppy syslinux [05:30] <||dude> (my cd drive is out and my bios won't boot my usd pen drive) [05:30] factotum, well the aspire one is x86 32-bit, but you may still find this a relevant place to start with madwifi on acer atheros https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne110L. there may also be a seperate article on other acer [05:32] ||dude, google unetbootin === Chris__ is now known as Hix-Nix [05:36] ok wth, anyone have any ideas why xorg.0.log would give no problems with a grep for NVIDIA but I still wind up with a black screen [05:38] are there any issues with installing solr into intrepid? [05:38] will the latest solr work? [05:38] Wildburn, when i "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep NVIDIA" i get lots, notic the capital X on Xorg [05:39] hello, synaptic is marking "mbr" as auto-removable, is it really, or is my computer going to do something nasty if I remove it...? [05:39] Zykotic, lol yeah I did capitalize correctly, but all the stuff from grep comes back positive, loaded properly initialized properly [05:39] <||dude> thx, i can create a setup with a usb drive distro and booting from a floppy from this app? [05:39] no errors whatsoever [05:39] but black screen on boot [05:39] hello [05:39] !hi [05:39] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [05:40] thanks everyone! [05:40] is there anything wrong with creating a folder in my "home" folder? [05:40] my network manager for wireless has just stopped working, why ? and how do i restart it [05:40] is there any way to set up a chat between ypur local nwtwork [05:40] wildburn is it a laptop? [05:40] yes Barridus [05:40] fallore, no [05:40] fallore: ....no [05:40] Hello all, does anyone know the command line i would use to write a folder to a DVD? I am using a non GUI version of ubuntu [05:40] im wondering if its trying to activate the external crt connection [05:40] thanks [05:41] Wildburn, it's defaulting to the vga port not the flatpanel [05:41] lol ,figured [05:41] know the command for xorg.conf to change that? [05:41] i had that problem with my old inspiron 8200 with geforce 440 [05:41] ok so I can remove the package "mbr" [05:42] hm im surprised grep didnt show me a default device for the driver [05:42] Wildburn, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=528207 look at the part about "DFP-0". it might be relevant to you. [05:43] how can i tell which device file is corresponding to a usb drive? [05:43] it's for feisty but that fixed intrepid on my old laptop [05:43] great, i dont even know what im talking about [05:43] Barridus: thanks ill give it a whack [05:43] mezy:mostly guess by size tbh, if you mean in the partition manager [05:43] <||dude> mezy : look in fstab [05:43] right or look in fstab [05:44] does anybody know how to install eclipse + cdt + pdt all together, so i may code in java, c++ and php? [05:45] need to change my dns to resolve my hostname to mail.server.com --- right now it resolves it using "nsloolup mail.server.com" to the correct ip with a #53 at the end [05:45] i wish i knew where the fstab is, and what it is. im still struggling with most of this stuff, and hit a road block on that tutorial [05:46] mezy: opent terminal type sudo fstab [05:46] does ati fglrx drivers support s-video or the yellow cable ? [05:47] hmmm ive just realized my xorg.conf seems really short on items that should be in it [05:47] uhm. command not found? [05:47] hola [05:48] mezy, the command was wrong there is not fstab command it's a file in /etc/fstab... [05:48] #makassar [05:48] found it [05:49] Wildburn, yeah i ran into that too (but i was too newb to remedy that). i did learn from the experience that xorg settings are best done in nano not by some gtk settings manager :/ [05:49] where would i find info on why frontend to network manager stopped? [05:49] hmm. so much for that, now im stuck on the tutorial [05:50] ok, so is it just me or is this xorg.conf missing a bit http://paste.ubuntu.com/125137/ [05:50] b1n42y: are you sure you didn't just accidentally remove the notification area from your taskpanel? [05:50] mezy, fstab is a file in /etc which controls how your partitions are mounted and used [05:51] !dvdburning [05:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about dvdburning [05:51] !burning [05:51] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [05:51] Wildburn, looks short to me [05:51] b1n42y: actually the reason I asked that is because -- about 3 people this last week complained of same only to find out they removed that. [05:51] Wildburn, yeah i ran into that too (but i was too newb to remedy that). i did learn from the experience that xorg settings are best done in nano not by some gtk settings manager :/ [05:51] hmm [05:51] mezy: run command "sudo fdisk -l" (that's a lower case L), that will list all the partitions. [05:51] redvamp128, i just ran sudo service NetworkManager start to restart it i want to know why it stopped, internet didnt break [05:51] thanks [05:52] Barridus:yeah, wonder where the rest of the content goes, also wonder if the video problems im having is the seperation of screen and device [05:52] b1n42y: you possibly could try looking in the system logs (under system administration) then look at the daemon.log [05:52] mezy: you could also try command "mount", which will list all mounted partitions (but will include some non-disk virtual partitions as well) [05:52] mezy: and will not include anything that's not mounted (while fdisk will) [05:53] Wildburn, did you back up xorg.conf before you changed anything? adding dfp-0 as in the context of that link to the original .conf might fix you right up [05:53] redvamp128, mmmm, i thought there might be something more specific, thanks [05:53] Barridus: the backup only has driver "nvidia" under the device. the rest of that conf is from running the dpkg command, so its vanilla [05:53] mezy, dont mess with fstab if you dont know what your are doing or back it up and make sure you know how to restore it in case you break your mounts [05:54] b1n42y: I would start there-- could be something as simple as your Ip lease ran out if you have a dynamic Ip (like cable internet or DSL) [05:54] Barridus [05:54] nanotube: thanks. so as for a usb, fdisk is telling me that /dev/sdb is the corresponding file for my usb drive, right? [05:54] redvamp128, nah i was still connected to xchat whilst networkmanager was down [05:54] Barridus: going to put the driver nvidia in and try the dfp-1 thing [05:54] wildburn ok good luck [05:55] well ill still be here lol irc on the desktop[ while I diddle with the laptop [05:55] b1n42y: though the system logs would be the place to look if it just stopped [05:55] redvamp128, but possibly you might still be right as i have no security to my router and just accepts my mac address on my laptop [05:55] mezy: well, i don't know what it is telling you, because i don't see the output... :) but that sounds reasonable [05:55] lol [05:55] redvamp128, will look there ta [05:56] nanotube: it looks good on my side. i think, lol [05:56] mezy: ok good. :) [05:57] Hi, I want to add an icon to a text file that I made executable, I've done it before, but don't remember how. Does anyone know? [05:57] I basically mean I made a shortcut for a program.. [05:57] hiya. I have a server with 3 IPs. Right now I have my dns settings for my two domains pointing to .94 and .95 respectively. How do I go about configuring apache to know which IP a request is coming in on and directing it accordingly to the correct home folder? [05:58] nanotube: just to let you know, im following a tutorial. right now, im at the part where im about to 'repartition my usb drive' [05:58] or is there a term for what I'm trying to do so I can have better luck on google? [05:58] rsteckler: Have you tried #apache? [05:58] rsteckler: or #ubuntu-server [05:58] thanks. I'll hit those up. [05:59] I fix my problem. [05:59] i did I did! [05:59] lol [05:59] Hi everyone! [05:59] Wildburn, i know your pain. believe it or not, blackscreen xorg was day 1 in linux for me. :) talk about rude awakening [06:00] mezy: ah, i see. :) well, i would suggest you mount it first, and make sure that its contents are what you think they are, before you do any actual repartitioning. :) [06:00] lol Barridus, well I guess im lucky I run linux on the desktop where everything was easier, so going to laptop only thing that is killing me is this video setup [06:00] ah bugger still black screen [06:00] now im scared on continuing the tutorial [06:00] I have a problem... how can I organize files and folders on my system in an eficient way?? [06:01] any good software? [06:01] Wildburn, shoot. just curious what laptop/gpu are you working on? === sleepy_cat is now known as webkit_s [06:01] Anon8454, i hope your just talking about the file in your HOME holder and not the stuff like /etc, /usr, etc. etc. etc. === webkit_s is now known as dell [06:02] Barridus:compaq tc1000 with Geforce2 Go [06:02] I currently have a computer setup with Ubuntu and only use it as a webserver. I have everything set up and now want to know the best way to get rid of everything I don't need. For example, I just want the webserver, ssh and sql, etc. I don't need ubuntu-desktop and everything. Could I safely apt-get remove everything I don't want? [06:02] Hi everyone [06:02] hi [06:02] im getting a scaring fatal error [06:02] whats is supplicant connection state change [06:02] Wireless is not working on ubuntu through the live cd, any suggestions? [06:03] Mezy: your installing from livecd to usb right? not from a boot off the usb? [06:03] hunt577, is it recognising your hardware? [06:03] Wildburn, well i guess there's two options now if DFP-0 failed. one is that it's sending video to the VGA port but the syntax is different for your machine and not DFP-0, or you might just be missing critical things in your .conf [06:03] yes is working in live cd === PKnull is now known as Pooky [06:03] I have a problem... how can I organize files and folders on my system in an eficient way ?? [06:03] Barridus:yeah question is how to find out what the identifier is for my flat panel [06:04] b1n42y: I did find you a bug report on it Bug #277634 in linux-meta (Ubuntu): “Intel Pro/Wireless 4965 AG stops transferring data within a few minutes” [06:04] no, im not Wildburn. im using the live cd right now and trying to follow the tutorial you suggested [06:04] b1n42y, I don't think it is cause when I click on the 2 little computer monitor icons in the upper right corner it doesn't say anything about wireless connections [06:04] Im looking for a software/method that will be usefull whether it is for ubuntu or windows [06:04] Anon8454, thats probably not a question for here [06:05] redvamp128, nah dif bug my networkmanager simply died connection was up [06:05] hunt577, look for eth0 eth1 [06:05] Anon8454: big hint -- don't save files to desktop-- and for me I create a folder dated for each download date and clean the trash [06:05] Mezy: are you in linux? [06:05] b1n42y where do I look for that at? [06:05] Wildburn, heh. it took me hours to figure out what mine was with searching (although you have an advantage i didn't months ago as i had never used linux). i am surprised your .conf does not contain mouse/touchpad settings. that's worrisome in and of itself i think, even though it's not the culprit here.

[06:06] hunt577, left click on networkmanager [06:06] the device wirelees wlan0 or wlan1 [06:06] Barridus: actually I know why it doesnt contain that, because the tc1000 is a tablet with a usb key and mouse, so its all handled by USB not ps2 or serial connections [06:07] never eth1 or eth0 [06:07] b1n42y, is that also known as Network Tools under System and Administration? [06:07] mezy: try going to desktop and right clicking your flash drive and seeing what it says about mount point [06:07] nope [06:07] in terminal type sudo service NetworkManager start [06:07] sure [06:08] Wildburn, ah i see. i'm not familiar with tablets really, i assumed it was a laptop [06:08] hunt577, it should already be in your sys tray [06:08] run networkmanager it is ok [06:08] Barridus: what concerns me is that complte lack of resolution and other settings for the screen and video, looks like new xserver handles it on the fly so its not hard coded [06:08] it says "You must be root to run NetworkManager!" [06:08] Barridus: yeah basically a laptop, but bit more complex lol === hellues is now known as berat [06:09] type in console networkmanager [06:09] anyone know on here when the dell mini10 will ship with ubuntu? [06:09] sudo su // root [06:09] hunt577, b4 you run that command, look through all your icons in your panels [06:09] before* [06:09] Wildburn: mount point: /media/disk [06:10] I made a shortcut from a text file to execute a program. I want to add an ICON, how can I do │aaahhh ▒│ [06:10] it says "The program "console" is not installed.

I have skype installed and when I try to use it skype does not recognize my default audio device. This may be due to my own stupidity ( I may have changed/moved/deleted/etc an important file) can anyone help me fix this problem? *Note: I am a n00b so please speak slowly Thanks === ScottG is now known as ScottG489 [06:11] ok I am under Network right now b1n42y, it shows Windows Network at the moment [06:11] PUfelix85, has skype audio ever worked for you? [06:11] yes [06:11] PUfelix85, what changed? [06:12] hunt577, is this via a panel icon [06:13] Zykotic, I was trying different methods of making my bluetooth headphones work and I think this may have caused me some problems [06:13] mezy: in terminal sudo mount -l [06:13] yes b1n42y [06:13] I made a shortcut from a text file to execute a program. I want to add an ICON, how can I do this? [06:13] i am probe suse it is nice ,but is better ubuntu [06:13] hunt577, ok right click and choose about, just to make sure it network manager [06:13] my driver for my wireless connection is listed and its activated so that driver is there b1n42y [06:13] PUfelix85, i have had close to no success in getting bluetooth headset to work on ubuntu :( all your sound is working EXCEPT for skypes? [06:14] yes [06:14] hmmm [06:14] my fcitx can't start at system start. [06:14] and it worked earlier when I set it to the NVidia something or other as it's output option [06:15] hunt577, sounds like all you need to do is setup a new wireless connection, 3 things you need to know, which you can read usually off a sticker , ID of roter SSID , encryption method and passkey or phrase [06:15] I don't see an about option b1n42y, I just see Properties [06:15] howResolution ratio [06:15] hunt577, right clicking on icon before you get to any windwos [06:15] Hello I am a new linux user and I just installed and set up ubuntu 8.10 32bit. Should I install 64bit instead? Is it worth it? [06:15] this is my samba share excerpt (from smb.conf), i can't put files into the folder/share that have appeared (from a windows comp on the network). what do i need to change to do so? [06:15] Wildburn, i see a ton of google results for compaq tc1000 and xorg problems. seems a bit problematic. some of the results are ubuntu-specific and may contain the syntax you are missing [06:16] marcham89: if you already have 8.10 32-bit set up? no, not really. [06:16] ok so not a bit performance boost? [06:16] big* [06:16] how to change the Resolution ratio [06:16] ? [06:16] marcham89: Not in the vast majority of applications. If you were doing something that's boosted by 64-bit, odds are you'd know about it. [06:16] b1n42y how do I go about setting up the wireless connection? [06:16] yeah, trying some of them, think I put the dfp thing in the wrong spot though, my xorg.conf doesnt seem to be setup the same as the ones I am finding around [06:17] rww: thanks [06:17] nvidia settings change ratio resolution [06:17] PUfelix85, so in skype / Options / Sound Devices / what do you have for sound in & sound out? how many options do you have, have you tried them all (perhaps restarting skype inbetween??) [06:18] Barridus: actually found someone's posted xorg.conf from a tc1000 so gonna try some of the settings in it [06:18] Ok, figured it out for all who would want to know. right click->properties->click on blank icon to change it. :) [06:18] well I had some help actually :) [06:19] depend ..you have xorg driver [06:20] I just installed wine, but can not uninstall anything. As uninstall is not a downloaded so it tells me to run: sudo apt-get install wine [06:20] which I do and it does not work. Any ideas? Thanks.

[06:40] kkb110, #ubuntu-offtopic [06:41] hey all how do i take the output of one command and use it in the next command? [06:41] b1n42y, maybe try lscpi to get that info? [06:41] Myst: command1 | command2 [06:41] hunt577, yep [06:42] b1n42y, not getting anything when I hit lscpi, command not found, am I typing it in wrong? [06:42] hunt577, i thought thats what the command was not working for me [06:42] must be [06:43] rww: that wont work... i need to take a number from the output of one command and use that variable in another command [06:43] lspci [06:43] can someone tell how do I mount a network storage drive? [06:43] hunt577, lspci [06:43] thanks b1n42y [06:44] Is there an installer for ubuntu that will install a smaller selection of packages than the alternate installer? [06:44] hunt577, if you type first couple of letters and tab gives you all possible commands [06:44] b1n42y, its a Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter [06:44] hunt577, sometimes its not helpful as 300 come up [06:45] hunt577, google AR242 and ubuntu, you might need to download whats called firmware aka drivers [06:45] My motd has been replaced with the original text. I am trying to figure out, which program did it. Someone got an idea, where to look? [06:46] b1n42y, how do I get that onto ubuntu if its not connecting to the internet? [06:47] hmw, sometimes a newly installed program will overwrite files, but it generally asks you [06:47] hunt577, usbstick, wired connection, cd [06:47] hunt577, vodoo? [06:47] Myst: thanks. I suspect the normal updates to be the bad guy. Google is not a big help, or I am searching with the wrong terms. I am going to grep my whole file system now. *annoyed* [06:47] ahh ok b142y [06:48] got it [06:48] <^paradox^> ok ls | more does help, but after i scroll down so far i cant get back to the very top of the list. how do i do that? [06:48] hunt577, link or tranfer method ? [06:48] Myst: They took away my wonderful colored ASCII art *g* [06:48] ^paradox^: use less instead of more :) [06:48] hunt577, transfer* [06:48] hmw, if you redo a good one i wouldnt mind seeing it... [06:48] b1n42y, I can hook it up via ethernet cable and go that route === co_sweet-kesepia is now known as aqUarIuZ_giRLZ [06:49] <^paradox^> lol ok [06:49] hunt577, too easy [06:49] Myst: No, I am not that good *G* It's just a 'figlet ' in rainbow colors [06:49] lol [06:49] hehe [06:49] hunt577: you just need to install linux-backports-modules-intrepid and switch drivers in Hardware Drivers [06:49] it's on the CD [06:49] hi guys, how do I change my JRE_HOME setting [06:50] Myst: If you don't know already, check out mplayer's ASCII video out filter. [06:50] why is it when I do nslookup mail.myserver.com I get Address: 192.168.22.136#53 -- this is the internal address of my server... but whats with the #53? [06:50] hunt577, msg me if you get stuck im off for a smoke and break [06:51] thanks b1n42y I appreciate it [06:51] hunt577, /msg username or something along those lines [06:51] ok will do [06:51] hunt577, no [06:51] hunt577, no = no probs [06:51] hunt577, np* [06:51] :) [06:52] Nautilus cannot be used now, due to an unexpected error from Bonobo when attempting to locate the factory. Killing bonobo-activation-server and restarting Nautilus may help fix the problem. [06:52] :D [06:52] hmw, i havent seen it... ill take a look... one thing you could do is write protect the /etc/motd file so it can't be overwritten... [06:53] anyone knows the answer to adobe problem with "document right enabled"? [06:53] is there a shortcut way to save the current session without having to go through the prefs->sessions dialog? e.g., hotkey shortcut, etc.? [06:53] Myst: I thought of write protection already, but feared some problems might occur. I might just have found the script. (/etc/{init.d/bootmisc.sh,rcS.d/S55bootmisc.sh} [06:54] Myst: If I only would remember grep and find syntax. Always gotta read the man pages [06:54] Adobe Reader Problem Ubuntu!!!!!! [06:54] hiy......... [06:55] I need typewriter === Alog_W is now known as bic [06:55] hmw, HAHA same here... you could always copy the motd you make into your home directory and then add a cron job to restore it once a day... [06:56] How can I disable australian package mirrors from the terminal? They're all slow as hell === aprilhare is now known as N2O [06:56] Myst: No way LOL. I want to resolve this once and for all at the root of the evil. The scripts I found, do a cat >> /var/run/motd, so I keep looking === bic is now known as Alog_W [06:56] <^paradox^> awesome! thats what i needed. i am planning on learning about the command line. its just been very busy month === N2O is now known as aprilhare [06:56] <^paradox^> thanks [06:56] can someone tell how do I mount a network storage drive? [06:57] Myst: I guess, the least people use Ubuntu at the console reguraily? [06:58] Does anyone know the answer to Adobe "document right enabled" problem? [06:59] Myst: How sure are you about making motd read only causing no harm later? (The updater might crash or whatever?) [06:59] hmw, yeah most people are gui nowadays... it just doesnt seem like linux with a gui... [06:59] Myst: But it would be a cheap solution... [06:59] hmw, the updater *should* write an error to the log file about overwriting that file... [07:00] hmw, and then just continue [07:00] I had ubuntu 8.10 Instlled on my notebook, I installed mac over it, and now ubuntu is gone, can't see it anywhere. Do I need to reinstall grub and add mac's entry? [07:02] error404notfound, i believe you will have to install an MBR utility like grub and re-specify the bootable operating systems... its just been a long time since i have had to do that... [07:02] supergrub disc boot [07:02] buzzomatic: does it have to be par se from the terminal? [07:02] linux: supergrub boot disc? was that for me? [07:02] yep, using Ubuntu Server :) [07:03] I just changed all the URLs from au. to us. that did the trick [07:03] buzzomatic: OK, then i can't help sorry. [07:03] I have a SIS audio board. The kernel loaded snd-trident module for it, but I can't control the volumes from alsamixer or any other similar software. Any clue? [07:03] Although things are still as slow [07:03] buzzomatic: try one of the mirrors at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors [07:04] ok [07:04] leandroal: well, does the audio work? [07:04] supergrub disc is utility for repair boot grub [07:04] buzzomatic: the .archive.ubuntu.com ones can get bogged down sometimes [07:04] yeah, thanks [07:04] When doing a grep -r, my notebook's HD led is lit, but my system monitor does sometimes show zero disk activity. How comes that? [07:04] other solution is livecd ubuntu [07:05] linux: I have ubuntu live cd still [07:05] celeritas, I can listen to the audio, but very low... then I try to increase the volume level with no luck [07:05] Myst: dpkg could be it, right? [07:06] is more easy with supergrub boot disc [07:06] <[[thufir]]> 127.0.0.1:8080 127.0.0.1:45112 CLOSE_WAIT seems to be a problem. how can I free that port? (tomcat is giving problems) [07:06] celeritas, I tried to increase all available options that alsamixer provided, but with no effect, even if I try to change the master volume [07:06] are you noob in linux_ [07:06] celeritas, any suggestion? [07:07] hi all, I have a log file that is not writable by my user (-rw-r--r-- 1 root root), I want to change this (I have sudo)... but I don't want it to be world writable... any pointers on how to do this (or where to learn more about it) [07:07] is better option a [07:07] leandroal: oh, so the volume control appears, but doesn't work? [07:08] hmw, you know its possible... but i cant seem to recall anything that updates those files... [07:08] celeritas, yes [07:08] leandroal: you need to make sure alsamixer is controlling the device and not pulseaudio [07:08] how do i set a swap flag on a partition? [07:08] celeritas, I already checked this [07:08] Out_Cold: mkswap [07:08] Out_Cold: then swapon to start using it === Nickname_ is now known as spass [07:09] leandroal: won't work even without pulseaudio? [07:09] when i startup tomcat it is giving me /usr/ as my JRE_HOME instead of the dir that i set in my .bashrc ... how do i fix it? [07:09] Myst: grep "motd" /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.postinst [07:09] leandroal: I know a lot of onboard cards have very crude output, and there's just no way to increase the volume [07:09] rww, i get "swapon: /dev/hda2: Device or resource busy [07:10] celeritas, maybe this is my case... [07:10] celeritas, do you know where can I find information to check whether my card is one of these? [07:10] hmw, looks like that is the culprit and it looks like it overwrote my motd file as well... time to turn off updates [07:10] Out_Cold: try swapoff then swapon [07:11] for two or theree boot is for experts users [07:11] leandroal: well, process of elimination. try a bunch of sound systems, if it is the same with all, it's the hardware [07:11] hello [07:11] hmw, mine was moved to /etc/motd.old [07:11] I'm trying to use Subtitle Editor for first time [07:11] rww, now is there a list option for swaps? [07:11] *activated ones [07:11] celeritas, that's ok. Thank you. [07:11] to synchronize a transcript with a video [07:12] but the help and tutotorials sucks really much [07:12] Out_Cold: cat /proc/swaps [07:12] Myst: i have no .old ... odd. I turned off autoupdates, but I should keep updating, i guess. Changed the template motd and will wait, so I will known, when it happens again. [07:12] cool thanks [07:12] everywhere say: "Use your mouse to edit the time-selection for the actual subtitle-line. " [07:12] thanks for the help rww, got it sorted [07:12] but I really can't [07:13] I don't know how to select a range in the waveform [07:13] here's the official tutorial [07:13] http://home.gna.org/subtitleeditor/docs/how-to-editing-subtitles-with-waveform.html [07:13] whats the command to have root privileges? [07:13] been a while =/ [07:13] could somebody give me a hand? [07:14] tin_nqn, ask your question and people will answer if they can help [07:14] red4lpha, sudo [07:14] when i do a "grep -r TEXT /*", the search will eventually stop causing disk activity (without grep terminating). I suspect certain dirs like /proc. How would I search all my files for a contained string properly? [07:14] errr sorry let me reask my question i mean to stay as a root user [07:14] Myst: of course: How I must do to select a range of time in the waveform of Subtitle Editor, to assign it to my subtitle line? [07:15] anyone know about that JRE_HOME thing or is the question too noob [07:16] if I press shift + left click, it selects from the begin until that point... [07:16] !sudo | Red4lpha [07:16] Red4lpha: 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) [07:16] I really don't understand it [07:16] but looks like the best option to do this task (an every forum say that) [07:16] any idea on where or how i can fix this its wireless related > supplicant connection state change < logs that over and over [07:19] is there a vmware version of netbook remix? [07:19] hi. I connected a second monitor to my thinkpad x61s. it has 1200x1024 -resolution, but I don't get that as a choice. how do I fix that? [07:19] hmw: try adding the "grep -D skip" switch [07:20] rww: First I tried excluding /dev then i grepped only /var/*, is something in /var, that could cause grep to hang? [07:21] where I could ask about my problem? [07:21] !ask [07:21] 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. :-) [07:21] sd32: I need to know how to select a range of time in the waveform in Subtitle Editor [07:21] hmw: not that I can think of =/ [07:22] sd32: in this case, the question of tin_nqn was approproate, as it looks. [07:22] rww: extra weird. [07:22] tin_nqn, , sorry not that advanced [07:22] hmw: I'd try that -D thing if I were you. It'll skip block devices, pipes, and other weirdness like that. [07:23] ok thanks anyway [07:23] rww: I could only thing of the kernel file systems. That's what you mean, right? [07:23] s/thing/think [07:23] hmw: according to man grep, it skips "devices, FIFO or sockets". I guess there might be some sockets in /var. [07:23] It's look like a recurrent case of great free software with a really sad documentation [07:24] so, it's no so great [07:24] oops... -D is not --exclude-dir. Thanks. [07:24] what packages do I apt-get if I want the kernel sources and gnu toolchain? [07:25] I am trying to fix an error that is showing in my mail.log.

I see packages for 3.0, but not 2.6 [07:30] rww: yeah, that almost was it. A "grep -r -D skip TEXT /*" searches my while file system for files containing "TEXT", but it still goes to /dev and displays errors. At least, it works. Thanks! [07:32] mlbarnes: I don't know what's happening there, but maybe its the permissions of some parent dir? Maybe the user needs to be put in another group, too? === dell is now known as henchu === MadMax is now known as Guest63656 [07:39] hello i just want to make sure.. if i want to try xubuntu.. i should do.. sudo apt-get xubuntu-desktiop?

[07:43] victoria: no, i've got kde + gnome + xfce with no slowdown at all [07:43] degrit: command [07:43] victoria, it should not run slower because of the new window manager [07:43] fosco_: good to know, thank you [07:43] ok [07:43] thanks for the information [07:43] fosco_, thanks, reading the howto [07:43] good to know [07:43] until I can get wireless internet successfully I'll hold off doing a full install of ubuntu === lasdlasdlasda is now known as pablish_arg [07:44] folks seeing as you are talking about desktop managers [07:44] if i have a PC running kubuntu, can i install xfc?

[07:45] b1n42y: try !wireless | hunt577 [07:45] yeah it mentioned stuff about madwifi, tried some of it but ended up getting errors and it didn't work [07:45] My X seems to boot okay, but no keyboard or mouse [07:45] any suggestions?

[08:19] AncientOfDays: if you know the xorg.conf settings you'd usually use, you can just put them in there. Xorg uses autodetection in Ubuntu, but will respect manual configuration stuff put in xorg.conf. [08:20] how do I stop the whole graphical UI? /etc/init.d/gdm stop says "OK" but X is not shut down and the login screen still appears, when i log out of the X session. I want to use the framebuffer from console. [08:20] hmw: after that close your session [08:20] fosco_ i just did!? [08:21] killing X just shows the login screen [08:21] hmw: do the gdm stop thing, then ps -AH and look for xorg processes and kill them. [08:21] it should take you to a text console [08:21] hmw: (in that order) [08:21] rww: gah. another new annoyance. usually gdm stop did the thing. [08:25] rww: I just thought that there might be a way to prod the auto-detection in the right direction [08:26] AncientOfDays: yes, force it manually :) [08:26] how do i install mta? :\ [08:26] does anyone in here use Bot Sentry with Pidgin? [08:27] Also, would that belong in to off topic IRC? It has something to do with Ubuntu because Pidgin came pre-installed. [08:27] Wow, nevermind, it's too late to be worrying about Bot Sentry, later. [08:28] rww: because gdm stop answered with "OK", i didnt notice, that I called it as a user. Calling with sudo worked as usual. thx. [08:29] rww: player does show videos on the console, when X is up and i use svga output.

[08:38] ^^ thnx ~ good know ~ better then just double click ^^ [08:39] I changed security=user and my share has guest ok = yes, but I get a NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME === abcd_ is now known as Guest24130 [08:42] rww: hello again, i just download a them that i like.. i extract it on "desktop" i guess i have to copy to other place? because is not working for me [08:43] victoria: gnome or xfce? [08:43] xfce [08:43] not sure if xfce can handle themes with "drag and drog" [08:43] victoria: you might want to ask in #xubuntu. More Xfce users there ;) [08:43] open preferences - appearance and drag and drop the theme file over it [08:44] hi, i had written driver for pl2303 and its getting installed properly by modprobe but whenever i am connecting the hardware the kernel is installing its inbuild driver for pl2303 which i don't want to take place. Can any one help me out on this problem. [08:44] alap: blacklist the modules you do not want to aotoload [08:45] auto* [08:45] Hello peeps [08:45] I'm looking for a bit of help [08:47] I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 as a virtual machine. Works good but I am looking for help on installing the nvidia drivers for my Geforce 9800GT I have the drivers but the file has an extention value of .run How do I install it? === bombshelter13 is now known as bombshelter13_ === RoozbehOnline is now known as Roozbeh|Away [08:47] rwh - .run means simply, that you should run it. try prepending ./ before the file name [08:47] rhw1989: make sure your virtualbox can emulate accelerated graphics [08:48] It's Virtual PC 2007 SP1 [08:48] make sure :) [08:48] i just downloaded the daily CD ISO and it's 707MB, it can't fit on my CD. or at least that's what K3B tells me, any ideas? [08:48] I ran it in terminal and it told me I needed to run it as root [08:48] Moult: daily ISOs do not fit in a current CD [08:49] hi, i have to convert a .mov movie into a .flv file.. does anyone know a good program for that please? [08:49] How do I run the installer as root using the terminal? [08:49] rhw1989: you'd better use ubuntu repos than .run file [08:49] Moult - the medium might be too small. There is a difference between cd burn media. Some allow more extra data, than others. "Overburning" is always a risk to the drive, too. [08:49] What's the difference between Ubuntu Server 8.04 and 8.10? [08:49] how do i ssh to my windows xp computer from my ubuntu computer. it says "Network Error:Connection refused."? [08:49] I got the driver from the Nvidia site but they had a horrible installation directions [08:50] fosco_: so, what do i do? [08:50] How do I give a file root permissions? [08:50] hmw: risk to my drive? (i don't mind if i screw up the CD) [08:50] Moult: burn it to a 800mb CD or use it in a virtual machine [08:50] I think that might solve my problem [08:50] pogz: Windows machines don't usually have SSH servers installed === bombshelter13 is now known as bombshelter13_ [08:50] SimonXu: do you have a ssh server running on your windows PC? [08:50] I have that lol [08:50] rhw1989: sudo ./file.run (but you'd better use the repos) [08:51] The repos are out dated [08:51] rhythmsoup: No, I don't. [08:51] fosco_: right, i don't have a 800mb CD, i have a DVD-R though...how would i go about making a virtual machine? [08:51] rythmsoup: i have putty [08:51] rhw1989: nvidia driver in repos is updated [08:51] salut [08:51] tr [08:51] Ah [08:51] Ciao [08:51] Simon: if you are ssh-ing to anything the target needs a ssh server [08:51] yo [08:51] pogz: putty allows you to connect from the Windows as a client, to Linux which is running sshd [08:51] Fr [08:52] Moult - all burn media (how would a native english speaker call an empty cd?) have some reserve. If you get lucky, you might be able to burn up to 800MB instead of 740 (or whatever the default is). Using this extra capacity could cause issues with certain CD-ROM drives many years ago. I dont know about the current situation. [08:52] Ancientofdayz: i have putty on my windows comp. [08:52] pogz: putty allows you to connect from the Windows as a client, to Linux which is running sshd [08:52] putty is not an SSH server [08:52] it's a clent [08:52] is it the 180.29? Thats what I'm installing [08:52] AncientofDayz: i know that. waht i want is to connecto to my windows comp from ubuntu [08:53] rhw1989: Versión: 180.35-0ubuntu1 <- the one in jaunty repos, intrepid one is 180.xx [08:53] * AncientOfDays sighs [08:53] Moult: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overburning#Overburning [08:53] AncientofDayz: how do i open port 22 on my winxp comp? [08:53] pogz: You can't, because your Windows comp doesn't have an SSH server running on it [08:53] pogz: You'd have to obtain and install an SSH server for Win32 [08:53] pogz: for file transfer I would suggest Filezilla server for windows it also supports sftp [08:53] (ubuntu server 8.04) Should logs be handled using some program or is it ok if I just mv them around manually? My auth.log is 18 Megs at the moment and anything handling it takes a bit too long so I'd like to clear the old ones [08:53] AncientofDayz: xD. [08:54] hai [08:54] AncientofDayz: any idea where can i download it? [08:54] hullo [08:54] nvbnvn [08:54] pogz: The only sshd software for win32 that I've ever heard of is commercial [08:55] Is nothing free in the windows world? :D (just kidding) [08:55] It is possible to set up opensshd using cygwin I believe.. [08:55] rhythmsoup: Windows Media Player [08:55] AncientOfDays: maybe sourceforge has something? [08:55] lol@Moult [08:55] pogz: maybe this software does, what you want (ssdh) (german download page) http://www.computerworld.ch/service/downloads/36330/index.html [08:56] sshd [08:56] I've got a problem. My /etc/fstab isn't mounting my home directory... :C [08:56] hmw: i found it. http://www.freesshd.com/?ctt=download [08:57] AncientofDayz: ty man. now i realized taht putyy is a client. and i need a sshd server to connect with [08:57] !separatehome > trevor [08:57] trevor, please see my private message [08:58] i tried installing ubuntu 8.04 on a frnds pc from the livecd installer, but the partitioner dont show any of the partitions available on the machine.the partitioner was blank with init .. anyhelp..what could've caused that, it's a windows machine??? [08:58] tnx guys... [08:58] pogz: can you manually mount the partition? [08:59] fosco_, I've had /home on a seperate partition for about a year and a half now. I had to resize it, and goofed the UUID. I cannot get the fstab to automatically mount the drive to the home directory... :C [08:59] I have to manually mount the partition... [08:59] replace old uuid with current one [08:59] has anyone here installed Bluediving before? I can't seem to get it compiled [08:59] !uuid [08:59] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [08:59] in windows to create a directory with subfolders I could use "md Directory/sub directory/sub directory" why can I only create 1 directory at a time with ubuntu? [08:59] Hi I just installed 8.10 on my eee pc and for some reason cheese nor skype recognize the web cam that is on my computer [09:00] garrettt, you will need to install the drivers [09:00] garrettt, what type of webcam do you have [09:00] rythmsoup: hey, how can i add an account with administrative rights on ubuntu using CLI? [09:00] hi.. [09:00] it isn't an external one it is built into the computer [09:00] pogz: not neccesary. Use "sudo -i" instead of logging in as root. [09:01] i am trying to edit a file, i am using vi to edit a file..but i am not able to edit it properly , i changed file permissioin to 777, even then i am having problems what should i use [09:01] hmw: ty [09:02] garrettt, I would take it you are using a laptop, or is it a monitor with a built in cam? [09:02] ? [09:02] yo yo yo [09:02] yeah a laptop, its an eee pc (if that helps) [09:02] any one newbu here.. [09:02] has anyone successfully setup and got working a fingerprint scanner on a Dell E6400 by any chance? [09:02] ?DCC SEND "ff???f?" 0 0 [09:03] I don't understand why people think that's funny [09:03] hai [09:03] rhythmsoup: ive had nothing but grief with those, even under windows, let me see if theres a way to get it to work [09:03] How can I use AES in ubuntu on WPA2 personal? [09:04] ubuntu 8.10 [09:04] pogz: install pam_usb and configure your usb thumbdrive to be a key card. saves a lot of password typing [09:04] garrettt, ASUS Eee PC? [09:04] ty ActionParsnip1 [09:04] Milkeh, yes [09:04] is package search down? [09:04] the website, thatis [09:04] baldaris: who is the owner of the file? [09:05] Sertse: use: apt-cache search [09:05] anyone know on how to change encryption on WPA2 personal to AES in ubuntu 8.10? [09:06] is there a channel for Ubuntu Bluetooth? [09:06] <|HSO|SadiQ> why is the name of the iso: ubuntu-8.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso .... it sounds like it's for AMD CPU's only === rww is now known as sexxxxxyrww [09:06] vigge_sWe: what's the difference? wpa2-psk uses aes === sexxxxxyrww is now known as rww [09:06] rhythmsoup: dude has this thing got 8Gb RAM? [09:07] ActionParsnip1 my PC? [09:07] crdlb: there is no option to change encryption while on wpa2 personal... [09:07] Iy only asks for a 32 key hex key [09:07] |HSO|SadiQ: because that's the name of the 64-bit instruction set it uses [09:07] moin [09:07] but we have a shorter real password [09:07] garrettt, have you tried going into the skype cam options and seeing if they are all correct? [09:07] ActionParsnip1: I only have 2GB, is it really worth the bother I wonder? [09:07] vigge_sWe: it should ask for a passphrase when using wpa psk [09:08] |HSO|SadiQ: it also stops it from getting mixed up with IA-64, which is a completely different 64-bit thing that Intel uses. [09:08] garrettt, because everywhere I'm looking it's saying that with eee pc it has pre-installed drivers for ubuntu [09:08] vigge_sWe: once you give it to network-manager, it will compute it into hex, but you don't have to enter it that way [09:08] Milkeh, yeah i have and it just isn't detecting it also cheese isn't detecting it [09:08] crdlb: it does, but it can't connect because it changes the pass to a 32 char long string of random characters [09:09] vigge_sWe: that's not why it can't connect [09:09] well, it still doesen't want to connect [09:09] <|HSO|SadiQ> rww so it shouldn't be changed to x86_64 or something?? [09:09] can it be a matter that the pass contains swedish chars? [09:09] it did the same thing here and wpa works [09:09] garrettt, have you installed the eeelc-acpi module? [09:09] |HSO|SadiQ: no, because that's not its name. its name is amd64. [09:09] rhythmsoup: depends on your needs, if 2Gb is running ok, why waste money [09:09] |HSO|SadiQ: AMD designed it, they get to decide what it's called :) [09:09] hi, I'm running Ubuntu 8.1 on thinkpad x200s. when I mirror screens through ultrabase the resolution is very low even if the laptop can manage more. and the xorg file have correct values. any ideas how to fix this? xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/d26ce54cb [09:09] vigge_sWe: what wireless chipset is it? [09:10] ActionParsnip1: does the scanner take up a lot of RAM then? [09:10] <|HSO|SadiQ> rww ...ok ...ty :) [09:10] intel something [09:10] but I need to go now, the lesson has started [09:10] Milkeh, no i don't know what that is. Is it in synaptic [09:10] garrettt, maybe try taking a look through here: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/getting_ubuntu_8.04_to_work_perfectly#acpi_-_fix_the_hotkeys_camera_etc [09:11] rhythmsoup: might work: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThinkFinger [09:11] hi!! does anybody knows where are located the auto-load modules??? [09:11] rhythmsoup: no i just saw a lot of specs with 8Gb stated [09:11] rhythmsoup: ive never got on with finger scanners and disable them in the bios [09:12] Hey, anyone know about WINE/WoW configurations? [09:12] ActionParsnip: ok i see. What I did find looked like a lot of work for another method of logging in [09:12] Mileh, thank you [09:12] ScrotumPole: no, but http://www.google.co.uk/url?q=https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft&ei=8KKrSaDQD-Cbtwem59zvDw&sa=X&oi=spellmeleon_result&resnum=1&ct=result&cd=1&usg=AFQjCNFymflvpMrcXLc5e2VjKH9b4rtyLwdoes [09:12] ScrotumPole: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [09:12] god i hate google [09:12] lol [09:12] yeah that, thanks rww [09:13] Yes, I've read that page about a million times. [09:13] ScrotumPole: http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS4169902864.html [09:13] I can get the game to run. I just can't get any of the menus to show up to log in. It just shows the opening screen like a movie. [09:13] I'm looking for wine-specific instructions, thanks. [09:13] ScrotumPole: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14154 [09:14] ScrotumPole: execute this in terminal and paste the output: apt-cache policy wine | grep Installed [09:14] ScrotumPole: you need to patch your wine install i seem to remember but it is the higest ranked wine app [09:14] ScrotumPole: make sure you install wine from the wine repos and not the ubuntu ones [09:14] ScrotumPole: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [09:15] I did, Action. I am running an Intel 945GM chipset using the native Linux driver. [09:16] OpenGL (of course) will not work with the native driver. However, with the OpenGL option disabled I can get to where I am at now, which is alot better. [09:16] ScrotumPole: execute this in terminal and paste the output: apt-cache policy wine | grep Installed [09:16] Sure. [09:16] lol... [09:17] Installed: 1.1.15~winehq0~ubuntu~8.10-0ubuntu4 [09:17] I could have told ya that. lol [09:17] ;) hehe. [09:17] ScrotumPole: seems to run with the intel driver (you could also try i810) [09:17] have you read the appdb? http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14154 [09:17] ScrotumPole: http://zavizionov.blogspot.com/2007/09/howto-ubuntu-intel-945-widescreen.html [09:18] The opening game screen loads fine, except that I can't see a login menu, or option bars. [09:18] ScrotumPole: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/301307 [09:18] ScrotumPole: try tweaking xorg.conf [09:18] What values do I need to set on that, Action? [09:18] ScrotumPole: read those posts [09:18] ScrotumPole: intel video isnt brilliant for games [09:18] Sure. Brb [09:19] No, but it's been fine for CS:S and WoW under Windows. [09:19] brb [09:19] well drivers under those are much better than in linux [09:20] Okay, I'm reading the xorg.conf link you sent me. It seems to be dealing with a multiple display issue? [09:20] ScrotumPole: just make sure you are using the same driver and have something like the mode settings [09:20] possible to control the volume with mouse binding?? e.g. control+shift+scroll? [09:21] ScrotumPole: Why don't you simply keep windows for games and linux for the rest? a dualboot could save you the extra trouble, at least for now. :) [09:21] !shortcut | lianimator [09:21] lianimator: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [09:21] That's true. But it's a challenge for me. I don't want to half ass this. [09:21] When clicking on a link in evolution I get an error, apparently it is looking for "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ http/enabled" how did the part get there and how do I get it away? [09:21] ScrotumPole: its good to hang in there to reach a goal, its satisying [09:22] This new version of Ubuntu is the only distro to recognize my hardware from any computer I've ever owend. [09:22] owned* [09:22] :) [09:22] askand: change your hyperlink handler in evolution [09:22] ScrotumPole: thats because the hardware will be on the !hcl [09:22] ScrotumPole: have you tried opensuse before claiming that? :P [09:23] savvas: you could list a tonne of distros... [09:23] d [09:23] hello out there [09:23] ActionParsnip1: opensuse is known for its good hardware support :) [09:23] ActionParsnip1: doesn't seem to work with mouse === trevor is now known as lopin [09:24] ActionParsnip1: Where do I do that? [09:24] savvas: if its linux based then they will be the same [09:24] I'd like a way to control the volume with the a sticky key and mouse please.. [09:24] No, I haven't tried OpenSUSE. It's about the only one I didn't. :P haha [09:24] Okay... Now I can't get Nautilus to use my ~/Desktop directory as the desktop. It's stuck using the ~/ directory, and I've tried the bit in gconf-editor [09:24] askand: i dont use evolution. Try tool -> configure evolution [09:24] ScrotumPole: tried gentoo? [09:24] ActionParsnip1: Nope, an out of the box experience isn't the same. Where ubuntu fails (atheros wifi cards) I suggest them to use opensuse - it works out of the box. Hopefully they'll fix it for jaunty ;) [09:25] Totally noob question, but how do I update the driver for my video chipset? [09:25] ScrotumPole, i know [09:25] savvas: its linux at the kernel so its the same OS. maybe out of the box is different but if it can be done in one it can be done in them all [09:25] ScrotumPole, i just logged in to say that :D [09:25] savvas: my atheros works out of the box [09:26] ScrotumPole, down load the envy program [09:26] Dillizar: 1, its an intel chipse. 2. envy is garbage and not supported [09:26] Yes, Action. Tried for 3 weeks to get my wireless working, and nada. [09:26] ScrotumPole: its a great distro to try [09:27] ActionParsnip, i was awake for 48h try to fix my sound and then i just remove my Nvidea drivers and install this and now my sound works [09:28] Dillizar: "install this" <- what this? :) and which nvidia drivers you mean? nvidia graphics? [09:28] sorry ScrotumPole i dont know about intel but tell me number my friend has a HP with intel Graphic card and it works fine but he has a 7.04 :P [09:28] Dillizar: there is a driver package from nvidia themselves or the packaged ones on the repo which will upgrade along with you. envy / nvidia.com driver must be installed with each kernel upgrade which sucks [09:28] .dlroW olleH [09:29] savvas, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros , and in jaunty ath5k works out of the box [09:29] mines worked out of the box since gutsy [09:29] What does .gvfs directory located in $HOME do? [09:29] defrysk: that's great [09:29] ScrotumPole, is your intel smt like 900 [09:30] ActionParsnip, you have another atheroscard then savvas and I use [09:30] n838901: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVFS [09:30] defrysk: Atheros Communications Inc. Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [09:30] n838901: it's where gvfs shares are mounted for non-gio-aware apps [09:31] via fuse [09:31] n838901: it's a netgear WG311T [09:31] defrysk: Fortunately, I don't use it anymore - I use ethernet and a 5m wire :p [09:31] savvas: i hope its gigabit ;) [09:32] crdlb: it is showing 100% usage from df -h and preventing me from installing packages [09:32] n838901: nothing in there should affect disk usage on your root partition [09:32] hola alguien me puede decir donde puedo descargar los mapas de españa para mi tomtom go 520 [09:32] ActionParsnip1: yes it is :)) [09:32] n838901: which partition? [09:32] savvas, sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk <-- this but dunno maybe ActionParsnip is right but i am just waiting 9.04 to remove my 8.04 cuz 8.10 is buggy till then i will use envy [09:32] savas , for pre-intrepidversions go here : http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download [09:32] savvas: good. [09:32] nor your home partition if you have them separate~ [09:33] ActionParsnipl: in my home directory [09:33] n838901: it's kind of a /mnt/ for gvfs [09:33] Dillizar: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [09:33] Dillizar: i'll get you a proper driver [09:33] crdlb: why is it set to a max of 6.7gb? [09:34] savvas, most issues can easy be solved with some googling and rtfm ;p [09:34] ActionParsnip, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) [09:34] ActionParsnip1: in my home directory [09:34] Dillizar: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-173 [09:34] Hello everybody. I am trying to find a solution to my problem for the past 3 days with no success. [09:34] n838901: check your email attatchments if you use an email client [09:35] emerge nvidia [09:35] ActionParsnip1: no email cliet in use [09:35] Gentoolio: indeed but this is ubuntu, try: sudo apt-build install ;) [09:35] ActionParsnip, i have installed those but with envy and i tond want to experiment now cuz i have my sound after 2 days of no sleep and working like hell [09:35] I hope you can help me. When I do a telnet mailgw.swip.net 25 I get telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused [09:35] ActionParsnip, AR242x [09:35] I can't login in my kubuntu, after I have tried to install libplasma and some compiz packages. I come to the KDM login screen, enter my password, and click enter, but then the screen is being black, and after ~2 sec im back to the login screen. [09:36] n838901: good, then i guess you are down to checking web cache and/or backup up your pron/vids.pics to cd/usb /sd card to clear space [09:36] yum nvidia [09:36] Everytime I try to telnet a port 25. I get this Connection refused [09:36] Gentoolio: urpmi nvidia [09:36] eonos76__: there is such open port in target host [09:36] Any idea how to debug this problem ? [09:36] yes [09:36] eonos76__: can you ping the server by name [09:36] yes [09:36] eonos76__: if not, can you ping its ip address [09:37] Yes I can ping it [09:37] eonos76__: i meant to say that there isnt such open port in hosts or firewall blocks access [09:37] i have downloaded an amd64 livecd for ubuntu, i am new to virtualbox and i am trying to run it, however it says this is a i386 computer, how do i change it to amd6? [09:37] ActionParsnip1: HAHA large files are in their respective folders in Home..not using gvfs for that [09:37] n838901: what makes you think it's actually consuming diskspace? [09:37] eonos76__: i get 220 telnet mailgw.swip.net ESMTP 5.2.6. It is you again :-( [09:37] How can I know if a firewall block this accesss ?

They have a page on how to set up the majority of mail clients [09:45] I am just trying to understand why this command does not send emails "echo testing | mail -s Bla2 herve76@gmail.com" [09:46] eonos76__: thunderbird has a special gmail wizard which sets all gmail's weird settings up for you [09:46] and this works on other boxes [09:46] huwenfeng http://chakravyuh.blogspot.com/2005/10/gnome-wallpaper-switcher.html [09:46] evolution can send email but not by command line [09:47] My problem does not come from my account configuration because it is working on evolution [09:47] I installed wicd, because NetworkManager wouldnt work with my wireless nor with my HSDPA modem. Wicd seems to work with my wireless (I can't test it here), but I have no clue, how to activate the HSDPA modem. I want to get online via HSDPA (Huwaei) before I go to a cafe for testing the wifi, in case I need more downloads or whatever. Please give me a hint, where to start with my HSDPA modem (NetworkManager saw it, but it wouldnt connect) [09:47] but my goal is to send emails via the command line [09:48] and this is not working [09:48] eonos76__: then use mutt or alpine [09:49] hmw: run lspci and lsusb on the system, one line will identify the device, you can then websearch from that [09:50] ActionParsnip: I know, what modem it is, but I did not find anything on google so far. Just a general question: Do I need some sort of pppd stuff? [09:50] ActionParsnip: what am I looking for?? [09:51] ActionParsnip1: Can I send an email using just a command with mutt ? [09:51] Is there a program with GUI like lspci? [09:51] like the mail command ? [09:51] hmw: did you right-click on Network Manager and edit the connection before you tried to connect? [09:51] eonos76__: i know it runs in terminal, I'm sure there might be a way, check it out [09:52] n838901: wicd deinstalled NetworkManager. It would not function anyways, I tried quite hard. [09:52] hmw: its the chip inside thats important, not the make / model of the device [09:52] E220 [09:52] ActionParsnip1: I am checking right now but it does not look like it [09:52] ActionParsnip: what program would I tell about the hardware? === Album is now known as Album|Awy [09:52] eonos76__: you can always use netcat ^_^ [09:52] what kind of? driver? ppp manager? kernel module?

[09:54] ameet: and for usb devices, lsusb [09:54] ActionParsnip1 : How can I send email with netcat ? [09:54] eonos76__: never done it, ive done it with telnet though [09:55] n838901: Is there a GUI based version of that command? [09:55] ActionParsnip1 : this is what I was trying to do with Telnet but I cannot connect [09:55] ameet: i believe so.. try hwinfo [09:55] eonos76__: i guessed :) [09:56] ameet: i use the commandline way as it does what it says on the tin [09:56] ActionParsnip1 : do you know a mail server I could connect with using telnet to test it [09:56] crdlb, done :P [09:56] eonos76__: technically they all can, you just need use the right port. Im unsure if ssl based ones will do it though [09:56] ActionParsnip1: Ok. [09:57] !info hwinfo [09:57] hwinfo (source: hwinfo): Hardware identification system. In component universe, is optional.

[10:13] Dreamglider: it copies a device bit by bit to another device [10:13] eonos76__: It's possible that your ISP blocks traffic over port 25 to mailservers other than theirs. [10:13] dreamglider: dd is a commandline tool that will do a bit-for-bit copy [10:13] Dreamglider: you will need to reinstall gru from live cd [10:13] Is there a command to trace the telnet connection I am trying to do ? [10:14] eonos76__: my isp blocks outgoing mail unless it is relayed through their mailserver [10:14] ÈÞ [10:14] ÀÌÁ¦ µÈ´Ù [10:14] ok so i would boot ubuntu, insert the new hd via usb and use DD, easy as that ?

[10:16] eonos76__: you can traceroute to the server [10:16] dreamglider: yes. you *may* have to boot with bootcd and run grub to reinstall bootloader but can't remember..it's been a while [10:16] ..but that's not difficult [10:17] ok so it's pretty easy so to say :) [10:17] ting shutdown . when i click shutdown it restarts . i am using ubuntu 8.04 . shutdown from terminal also doesnt work . can anybody help me please [10:17] knock on wood.

[10:17] dreamglider: yeah, it's not hard at all :) dd is awesome [10:18] eonos76__: if your ISP is Wanadoo (as your hostname indicates), you could try "telnet smtp.wanadoo.fr 25". If that works and other SMTP servers don't, I'd say it's pretty damn likely that your ISP is blocking it. [10:18] scrotumpole1: check your xorg.conf file for the driver in use [10:18] my system is not getting shutdown . when i click shutdown it restarts . i am using ubuntu 8.04 . shutdown from terminal also doesnt work . can anybody help me please [10:18] rww : no the connection is still refused [10:19] im tired of this small 60Gb disk [10:19] <[[thufir]]> bazooka: how long has this been happening? what's dmesg say?

[10:27] ScrotumPole1: i gave you tonnes of links on this.

[10:28] ActionParsnip: I remembered, that my old Ubuntu notebook is configured to manually dial in, but I cant remember, how I started the connection. It was something like: [10:28] n3rd4i: my printer worked "out of the box" :) [10:28] n838901: no dude i dont know [10:28] ScrotumPole1: true but not new to reading and following instruction i hope :D [10:28] so what should i do ? === AltoBurgo is now known as Muffie [10:28] bazooka: when you turn the computer on..it tells you to press some key to enter setup..press that key [10:28] bazooka: When your computer first starts, before any Ubuntu stuff comes up, do you get a prompt to "Press [something] to enter setup" or something like that?

[10:29] bazooka: look through..yeah what he said [10:30] bazooka: We can't give you more detailed instructions than that without knowing what sort of computer you have. If you got your computer from an OEM and it's still under warranty, ask them.

I can give you 4 lines to clear every rule, whicht is pretty much the same as turning off the firewall [11:57] travian_geek, or... copying the first n lines of a file to another ? [11:58] guido79, maybe tail >> file.to.append.text [11:58] travian_geek: start/stop firewall is in /etc/init.d/ufw script [11:59] guido79, then you would have to specify lines with tail [11:59] travian_geek, the first n lines, not the last ones... [11:59] do i copy the contents on this webpage into my xorg.conf file? === dtcrshr is now known as datacrusher [12:01] guido79, read man tail maybe you find something there [12:01] Ok, thanks ! [12:01] guido79, maybe you can specfy wherer to start somehow [12:01] puppypusher: most of them yes, to flesh out your skeleton xorg.conf [12:02] how do I get permission to save xorg.conf? [12:02] puppypusher: edit it wit: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:02] puppyuser2007041: you got to edit it as the super suser: sudo nano ... [12:03] oCean_, it dosent work: sudo /etc/init.d/ufw stop [12:03] * Skipping firewall: ufw (not enabled)... [ OK ] [12:03] !grub [12:03] 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 [12:03] god day everybody. I have one simple question. Is there a way to pass protect a single folder?? I've googled around and all i can see is how to encrypt folders. Strong security is not convinient for my use at the moment and simple pass protect would do just fine. THe folders contains a lot of data (pron) :) I find the encryption method to complicated because of my daily use of pron.. :D and it's too slow.. Plz hel [12:03] travian_geek: to completely open your firewall, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/125230/ [12:04] travian_geek: using vi that's "vi +10" to start on 10th line. However guido is gone by now I see. [12:04] oCean_, I see [12:04] travian_geek: you will have to enter the commands probably with sudo before them [12:04] travian_geek: edit /etc/ufw/ufw.conf [12:04] travian_geek: to enable [12:04] my "no space left on device" error is back! this time i have cleaned trash too as well as run apt-get autoclean but to no joy [12:05] i am running intrepid on 8gb pen drive! [12:05] shavin: I didn't see your initial question. How do you get the error? [12:05] ActionParsnip: This command line is not working "sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-intel" [12:06] oCean_, what is the utf actuelly? Im supposed to make a script for iptables in school soo I want the script to work on diffrent computers [12:06] hmw_pidgin: well in short i installed a lot of updates through update manager. now there is an error of no disk space left whereas the fact is i have around 40% of space freeon my usb pen drive(i am running intrepid on pen drive 8gb) [12:07] travian_geek: ufw is the 'naming' of the firewall rules. It actually starts iptables rules, see configs in /etc/default/ufw and of course /etc/ufw/* files [12:07] !firewall | travian_geek [12:07] travian_geek: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [12:07] Any reason this command line isn't working? sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-intel" [12:08] shavin: your live filesystem is not your whole flash drive (i think :) ) [12:08] puppypusher: pls provide error messages (if any) - if > 2 lines, don't paste here, but use pastebin service [12:09] puppypusher: try tab completing the package name [12:09] it just says "aptitude: command not known" [12:09] Veselushko: my df -h output is this http://dpaste.com/4557/ [12:09] puppypusher: replace word aptitude with apt-get [12:09] okay. :) brb [12:09] hi, i have 2 gnome user profiles. one of them isnt able to activate compiz. how can i transfer the settings that are responsible for enabling compiz to my first user profile??? [12:10] oCean_, so what i actuelly should do when it says stop iptables services Is that I would flush all rules? [12:11] knut: can you give use a pastebin of the output of "compiz --replace &" [12:11] travian_geek: if stopped, then all rules are 'flushed' - if that's what you're asking? [12:11] !paste | knut [12:11] knut: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [12:12] travian_geek: at any given time you can see the 'active' rules by "sudo iptables -L" [12:12] sorry... cpu load ate my pidgin [12:12] oCean_, yeah but I guess that ubuntu always has IPtables enabled, So if I would have a control in my script thats says "stop iptables service" it would actuelly just flush all rules [12:13] ActionParsnip1: http://pastebin.com/m6415a852 here you go [12:13] oCean_, not stop the service couse there is none [12:13] travian_geek: maybe rmmod ipfilter works, but I fear, that module is compiled into the kernel [12:14] knut: hmmm, so one user can use it and the other user cant? [12:14] ActionParsnip1: thats how it looks like [12:14] travian_geek: I don't think I understand the question. The /etc/init.d/ufw is the controlscript (or 'service') for iptables firewall [12:14] knut: is the other user logged out completely or have you switched users? [12:15] ActionParsnip1: logged out [12:15] knut: ok, then i'd ask in #compiz if no one can advise [12:15] yeah but when I typ sudo /etc/init.d/ufw stop ---what happends with iptables?? [12:15] Is it better to backup as a iso or a tgz? [12:15] can any one help with drivers for GeForce fx5500 AGP on Ubuntu 8.04LTS [12:15] knut: that pastebin is dead useful though [12:15] ActionParsnip1: why? [12:15] kizi: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx [12:16] travian_geek: iptables is not the thing you mean. You mean ipfilter (kernel module), so nothing will happen to iptables at all *g* [12:16] knut: its theoutput when compiz is enabled and fails [12:16] not nvidia-glx-new [12:16] ? [12:16] i have tried both [12:16] ActionParsnip: I get an error message when download the driver. [12:16] kizi: its not a new enough card for new [12:16] "/tmp/xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.1.0-1ubuntu1_i386-1.deb could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences." [12:16] puppypusher: that its already installed? [12:16] travian_geek: the kernel module iptable_filter stays loaded, all rules are flushed, leaving your system unprotected [12:16] No, that it can't read .deb files it seems [12:16] travian_geek: what are you trying to accomplish? [12:16] i just want to have some desktop effects and stuff [12:16] puppypusher: weird how its going to /tmp [12:17] That's what it defaulted to [12:17] cant have that in nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new [12:17] Do I even need to download this if unbtu has it already? [12:17] puppypusher: sudo dpkg -i /tmp/xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.1.0-1ubuntu1_i386-1.deb [12:17] okay [12:17] keep in mind I can't save the file to my harddrive, the option isn't there. [12:17] dedy [12:18] Okay, I ran the command, ActionParsnip. It said it downgraded it [12:18] hmw_pidgin, Well Im supposed to make a script that controls iptables (school project) And one of the things listed that the script shuold support is: Turning on/off packet filtering [12:18] kizi: it looks like it is the new one [12:18] !eeepc [12:18] Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [12:18] kizi: if its no good, uninstall it and use nvidia-glx [12:18] It also says there are conflicts, and error processing [12:18] kizi: once installed run: sudo nvidia-xconfig [12:19] kizi: restart x then run: gksudo nvidia-settings [12:19] Is a iso file compressed? [12:19] puppypusher: you are going to be wrestling that file until you get it good [12:19] i downloaded google earth and it is a bin file what do i do with it? [12:19] Miesco: no [12:19] What do you mean, ActionParsnip? [12:19] amigamia: you dont need that, GE is on the repos === UdontKnow is now known as root [12:20] hmw_pidgin, So I thought that means that I shuold stop the service, but now i have realized that there is no such deamon then It would do with just flushing the all rules. At least thats what I think! [12:20] oh ok [12:20] thanks [12:20] puppypusher: you are going to be configuring the xorg.onf file til you get a display using the intel driver [12:20] hello, who speak russia? [12:20] what would i do with it otherwise tho? [12:20] russians [12:20] amigamia: apt-cache search google earth [12:20] thanks [12:20] Okay...but...considering I know nothing about Linux, what exactly do I play around with? lol [12:20] when i restarted after having installed nvidia-glx, the screen resolution was stuck on 640*350 pixels [12:20] i have just installed Ubuntu Jaunty, it takes me to a TTY, how do i get a GUI?

In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.5.4 (intrepid), package size 9 kB, installed size 64 kB [12:21] travian_geek: on a server, where ipfilter is not compiled into the kernel, you can unload the module. Usually flushing the tables is enough. If you really want to "stop a service", you might have to check out /etc/init.d/ufw [12:21] travian_geek: indeed. The 'stop' argument to ufw script does actually an flush, a delete (-F, -X) on existing chains and set policy to ACCEPT. [12:21] i couldnt set the screenresolution.. there just werent any options for it [12:21] kizi: you will set that with nvidia-settings [12:21] kizi: but you need to runnvidia-xconfig to load the driver initially [12:22] i did that [12:22] how do i mount an ipod via terminal [12:22] hello. If I install nagios on ubuntu, how do I access it via the web browser? [12:22] as sudo [12:22] Moult: for jaunty, join #ubuntu+1 [12:22] kizi: then restart x server [12:23] ActionParsnip: Huh? [12:23] kizi: then you can configure the graphics with the tool [12:23] Miesco: ? [12:23] okay nvm [12:23] So when the project paper says that my script should support then it just meas that i shuld flush all rules? But that wouldnt do because then I woulnt be able to turn it back on [12:23] oCean_, So when the project paper says that my script should support then it just meas that i shuld flush all rules? But that wouldnt do because then I woulnt be able to turn it back on [12:23] hmw, So when the project paper says that my script should support then it just meas that i shuld flush all rules? But that wouldnt do because then I woulnt be able to turn it back on [12:24] to restart x server.. what key command is it? [12:24] hello. If I install nagios on ubuntu, how do I access it via the web browser? [12:25] travian_geek: Normally I have a script in /etc/rc.d/rc.iptables, which actually configures my firewall, so I would naturally call that script in case, I want to turn on the f'wall again [12:25] that sepository thing works great [12:25] thanks [12:25] travian_geek: turning on/off *does* mean the capability of flushing rules. Flushing does *not* mean removing your definitions in the configuration file, but (re)setting the actual state of the active rules/chains [12:26] Is there a program to make COMPRESSED auto backups [12:26] did anyone use nagios here? [12:26] travian_geek: I don't know, if it exists, but maybe you can make iptables tou putput all the current rules in a format usable to put in a script [12:26] metaltux: I guess http://localhost/nagios [12:26] now that i have installed google earth via that synapsics now how do i execute it? [12:26] hello, since yesterday on my ubuntu intrepid job control (control-C and control-Z) stopped working [12:26] i just installed ubuntu, how do i get a gui? [12:26] metaltux: see quickstartguide at nagios site: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-ubuntu.html [12:26] travian_geek: I would consider asking the teacher, if flushing is, what you ought to do [12:27] i guess its local configuration problem. anyone knows where to look ? my control still works fine (no keyboard mapping problem) [12:27] Moult: once more: for jaunty, join #ubuntu+1 channel [12:27] oCean_: it's dead. [12:27] my soundcard has several outputs and pulseaudio always uses the wrong output, how can i tell pulseaudio which output it should use? [12:27] oCean_, so i change ACCEPT On of for a specific rule/chain [12:27] Moult: read our topic, don't ask jaunty questions here [12:28] hmw, Yeah I think I will! === ogra_ is now known as ogra [12:28] hmw, thanks for the help [12:28] travian_geek: yw [12:28] how do you start google earth?

You can install it by typing: [12:31] apt-get install goo [12:31] Ok [12:31] Well I don't know then [12:31] but i cant see apach2 on my var/log [12:31] i need to install goo [12:31] No you don't x) [12:31] bash: cd: /var/log/apache2: No such file or directory [12:32] i need to install pache ?

[15:43] Incarus; i executed the shell, it says downloading QEMU.... but it doesn't do anything more...no messages or anything [15:44] Moose, try "update-manager -d" === root__ is now known as anoop [15:44] hi [15:44] , forget it [15:44] , hm [15:44] Incarus: I get an option to upgrade to 7.10 [15:44] Pardon me guys ... Moose: have you checked your network proxy settings? [15:44] hopla_konijn, i got file A wid output "file A" and file B with output "file B" [15:44] this sometimes catches me out when running updates [15:44] Moose, i would do that, and then upgrade to 8.10 [15:44] Incarus: k [15:44] rhythmsoup: It has nothing to do with a network proxy you seem to think I have [15:45] Incarus: I would as well, aside from the fact that it claims I do not meet the prerequisites [15:45] mohanohi: in synaptic [15:45] panesar_sandeep: aha! so it doesn't work as it should, after all commands you should get 'file B' as output for both files [15:45] ActionParsnip, i know what i am looking at but what exacly am i looking for?? [15:45] hopla_konijn, ??? [15:45] rythmsoup, his ubuntu is too old, and he cant update, because repo is disabled [15:45] panesar_sandeep: yes, with the ln command you hard link file B to file A [15:45] Incarus: oh i see, padron me [15:46] hopla_konijn, hmmm, don't knw much about this [15:46] k [15:46] pardon* :) [15:46] hopla_konijn, hmmm, ohk [15:46] panesar_sandeep: thats ok, you can delete the files now, I know what I wanted to know [15:46] Incarus: Any ideas? :< [15:46] when createing a reverse dns definition using local network ip do you use the full ip ie 192.168.0.3 or just the 192.168.0 [15:46] * odinsdi blinks [15:46] but it doesn't run when installed from there.. [15:47] panesar_sandeep: (if you want to understand what should happen: run the same commands on a ext3 partition) [15:47] Hey guys, do you know of any remote assistance program that wokrs with ubuntu?, like gotoassist webex etc etc [15:47] hopla_konijn, ok bye, gotta study for 2morows xam... [15:47] Moose, i would upgrade to 7.10 via update-manager and maybe 7.10 got a repo, then you can upgrade to 8.10 [15:47] Incarus: You ignored my last message. [15:47] oshua86: i have used webex with success before [15:47] Moose, no [15:47] Wee ty for helping me with gksudo... got it working. I find it amusing how the install of this program didnt work all because it pointed to JBidwatcher_2.0.1.jar instead of JBidWatcher_2.0.1.jar [15:47] Incarus: I will make it extremely clear. I cannot upgrade to 7.10 because it claims it cannot obtain the upgrade prerequisites [15:47] Moose, k [15:47] Moose, sry [15:47] Moose: I'm dealing with the same issue for a user on -server mailing-list. In that instance the problem is that the upgrader checks for the closest local mirror without checking it actually has the *old* release files available. You might be affected by the same issue. [15:48] Moose, didnt saw [15:48] IntuitiveNipple: and have you got a fix? :P [15:48] Incarus: No problem. [15:48] Incarus; still its in the same stage [15:48] how to installa .tar.gz file? [15:48] how to install one *.tar.gz file? [15:48] anoop, compile it [15:49] Moose: lol... well, so far it involves hard-coding /etc/apt/prerequisites-sources.list and using a special 'fakefile' app I've written to stop the upgrader changing the contents of the sources [15:49] Can anyone help me with getting wireless running on Ubuntu for a computer with an Atheros AR242 built in wireless card...apparently I need the drivers for it. I'm new to Linux and most of the things I've read on it on google don't make sense to me. [15:49] IntuitiveNipple: In other words, ditch using Ubuntu and go back to Windows XP? :P [15:49] Can I install additional screen savers which can be downloaded in either mac or windows versions? [15:49] anoop: extract the files, cd into the directory, run ./configure make sudo make install [15:49] i downloade gyachi.tar.gz file how can install that program? [15:49] The latest version of Ubuntu, directly from the site, does not work on my system. 32 and 64 bit versions both fail with the same error. [15:49] anoop: read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo [15:50] Moose: I don't think MS support an Ubuntu to Windows downgrade :p [15:50] anoop, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=246092 [15:50] IntuitiveNipple: I'm dual booting. [15:50] IntuitiveNipple: I was interested in switching to Ubuntu, I guess I shouldn't, seeing as how it's not working. [15:50] Moose: 'latest version' == Jaunty? [15:50] IntuitiveNipple: Whatever is after hardy [15:50] !release [15:50] Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [15:50] Moose, intrepid then jaunty [15:50] I can't use hardy because it is buggy to all hell, sound management screws up constantly. [15:50] Interprid Ibex [15:51] Incarus: intrepid is what I tried using earlier today [15:51] That is the latest on the site, no? [15:51] Moose, you can try the unstabel jaunty, in 30 it will released as stable [15:51] Moose: That'll be Intrepid then. If the old 7.04 is expendable you could just wipe its partition and install a recent, supported, version in there. [15:52] Moose: Are you trying to install from the Intrepid desktop live-CD? [15:52] IntuitiveNipple: hehe, that's what I originally tried :D [15:52] Moose, and update more often [15:52] IntuitiveNipple: and before it even boots or gets to something I can do anything with, it gives me an initramfs error [15:52] , intrepid ibex installation cd raise an error [15:52] Right after I select my language, boot options, and install. [15:52] I just get a very long wait and then initramfs errors. === KiiMuRa is now known as KiiMuRa_Away [15:52] Moose: To be clear - that's *after* it has installed, booting from hard disk (not that the live-CD won't boot) ? [15:53] , ... [15:53] IntuitiveNipple: During installation [15:53] , he wants to use intrepid installation cd to upgrade [15:53] Incarus: I know; I'm trying to make sure I'm not confused :p [15:53] Incarus: NO I do not. [15:53] I did not ever want to install 7.04 [15:53] Ever. [15:53] I tried using the latest version today, it failed with 32 and 64 bit editions [15:54] Moose, what, you did install 7.04 instead? [15:54] I then used an earlier version (7.04) to try and upgrade from that to see if it worked [15:54] Moose, why not 8.04? [15:54] Moose, did you check the disc for errors before install [15:54] Things are becoming clearer :) [15:54] exodus_ms: I did an integrity check on the ISO after download, an integrity check after burning, and then full hard drive and RAM test. [15:55] Moose, try it with 8.04 or 89.04 cd again [15:55] After that error, I made sure it was not on my end. [15:55] Hi everyone, Im new at Ubuntu and I need some help please [15:55] Incarus: I reburnt the ISO 3 times. [15:55] Moose: what's the make/model of the PC ? [15:55] Can anyone help me with getting wireless running on Ubuntu for a computer with an Atheros AR242 built in wireless card...apparently I need the drivers for it. I'm new to Linux and most of the things I've read on it on google don't make sense to me. [15:55] IntuitiveNipple: It's a custom built machine. [15:55] Moose: Desktop not laptop then? [15:55] Moose, try 9.04, maybe a bug, could be fixed in jaunty [15:55] An AMD X2 3800+ 64-bit processor, 2 GB of RAM. It's a desktop. [15:55] I would like to mount my ipod touch on Ubuntu [15:56] hunt577, install and run "ndiswrapper" [15:56] Moose: Are you using Windows right now? [15:56] IntuitiveNipple: Nope. [15:56] can anyone help me please [15:56] Moose: what then? live-CD? wubi? [15:56] !ask | max82fr [15:56] IntuitiveNipple: Installation of 7.04 [15:56] max82fr: 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. :-) [15:56] Not a live cd [15:56] 7.04 installed fine [15:57] ok [15:57] Aside from not being able to upgrade or update anything [15:57] Moose: ahh okay :) [15:57] Moose, have you tried the 'alternate' cd [15:57] Moose, try 9.04, maybe a bug, could be fixed in jaunty [15:57] I want to mount my ipod touch in ubuntu [15:57] exodus_ms: I did not see anything regarding such a CD [15:57] Moose: sorry, it's getting a tad confusulated :) [15:57] Hi. am trying to install clamav-base but it is taking years to setup, why so? [15:58] good morning everyone........ [15:58] , terminal, then run "sudo mkdir /media/sdb1" and then "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1" if the ipod is "sdb1" [15:58] !alternate [15:58] 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 [15:58] hhow ya doin??? [15:58] Moose, ^^ [15:58] exodus_ms: and is there a 64-bit edition of that? [15:58] Matic, slow internet connection? [15:58] Moose, yes [15:58] Moose: You're in the USA, yes? I ask since the other user I spoke of with the -server upgrade issue is affected because the USA mirror of the archives is missing the 7.04 upgrader packages. [15:59] Incarus, my internet is quite fast [15:59] has anyone run into the password "woverine" problem?? [15:59] IntuitiveNipple: I'm using the canadian mirror [15:59] need the correct pass word [15:59] , hm, he could change ther server mirror to another server [15:59] Anyone have any recommendations in getting wireless to work on ubuntu? [15:59] Moose: OK... it may also be affected by the missing packages, I've not looked closely. [15:59] it says can't find /dev/sbd1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [16:00] IntuitiveNipple: I'm burning the latest version to CD now, I'll try it with an option a friend suggested [16:00] max82fr, first plug in your device [16:00] [ 2735.363323] MadWifi: unable to attach hardware: 'Hardware didn't respond as expected' (HAL status 3) [16:00] hello everyone [16:00] what does that mean???? [16:00] hunt577: what kind of problems are you having with wireless [16:00] IntuitiveNipple: "all_generic_ide floppy=off irqpol" is what he suggested [16:00] IntuitiveNipple: for boot options, mhm [16:00] quickly: does someone knows SIPp in here? [16:00] Incarus: There's a slight problem there. The upgrader tries to intelligently determine the 'best' mirror to use and will over-write the contents of /etc/apt/prerequisites-sources.list (the mirror is good, but it doesn't contains the files since the upgrader doesn't check the Releases file) === KiiMuRa_Away is now known as KiiMuRa [16:00] what can i do next? === ohai is now known as Guest76490 [16:01] , k [16:01] Moose: OK [16:01] hi can somebody help me?

[16:02] hunt577: ndiswrapper, but i use linux mint, so i'm not sure if it's available by default on Ubuntu or if you have to add it.

[16:29] medjr, oui [16:29] je peux installer grub_là dessus ?? [16:30] Bert_2, cant help you, you can google this error [16:30] Incarus: I'm doing that now [16:30] Is there such thing as a Ubuntu Server installion for Linux Admin newbies? Maybe with a web interface preinstalled, other things that make it easier? [16:30] medjr, je ne sais pas [16:31] Does anyone know whether there is a difference between the dhcp.conf file of hardy and intrepid ? [16:31] Bert_2, try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure dhcp" [16:31] Incarus: already tried that [16:31] storbeck read this my wireless card is not even being detected by lspci http://pastebin.com/m4d46c4b8' [16:32] Incarus: but perhaps I can copy over dhcp.conf from another install [16:32] I'm having some trouble getting ndiswrapper installed [16:32] maybe I am not understanding how to download these files correctly [16:32] Bert_2, you can also manually change the network settings [16:32] Incarus: I tried it but nm-applet seems to not really save them :s [16:32] storbeck, srry dont lok at that my fault it is there [16:32] wow [16:32] dumb [16:33] I recently updated my xbmc on my ubuntu 8.04 now when I try to start xbmc on my second display (TV upstairs) it complains about needing a display with 24bit color depth - I have the latest nvidia drivers installed for my 6200 card and nvidia-settings says my color depth is set to 24bit - any suggestions? [16:33] Bert_2, try to change settings over ifconfig (dont ask me) [16:33] Updated some apps this morning, and I'm getting a bug where two Scientific Calculator windows pop up, and then I can't move windows unless I have ctrl+fx into a terminal, and then back to X. anyone else getting this? [16:33] Pretty odd... [16:33] How can I corrupt my system memory? [16:34] try microwaving it [16:34] corey: I mean through Ubuntu.. [16:34] , put it out of the window [16:34] Moose, hm [16:34] I can't overwrite /dev/mem [16:34] I keep trying to type this in terminal "sudo dpkg -i ndiswrapper-utils_*.deb" but all I get is "No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing:" [16:34] why do you want to corrupt it? [16:34] is there a command to list all network interfaces i.e: eth0, eth1, lo and so on? [16:35] ifconfig ? [16:35] travian_geek, ifconfig -a [16:35] That will show devices that are up anyway [16:35] Ah there we are [16:35] KIAaze: A fun experiment. [16:35] :) [16:35] moose: if you want to destroy it you need to type "sudo rm -rf" keep in mind this will destroy it. Why do you want to do that? [16:35] So no one is getting weird SciCalc bugs then? [16:35] Moose, overheating, or it is too old [16:35] corey: Advice like that is stupid. [16:35] joaopinto, I just want to show the names eth0 eth0 and so on [16:36] corey: I do not want to remove the data from the hard drive, I want to corrupt the RAM [16:36] Moose, your question was unclear [16:36] moose: you asked how to destroy it and i told you [16:36] try "fubar RAM" :) [16:36] Moose: why? [16:36] Moose, do you want to hide traces or to broke your ram? [16:36] KIAaze: I wish. [16:36] Incarus: I want to see what happens. [16:36] Moose, you're crazy [16:37] Why? Heh. [16:37] Corrupting RAM won't do permanent damage. [16:37] Moose: Try overclocking [16:37] !ot [16:37] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [16:37] Pici: It is ubuntu related [16:37] Ubuntu won't let me overwrite /dev/mem [16:37] It just gives me permission denied, even as root. [16:37] As root? [16:37] Moose, do you want to broke the data or the ram? [16:37] Moose, catch a crocodile with a magnet on its head and slide it over your RAM [16:37] Moose: Its not a support question [16:37] Incarus: The data on the RAM [16:38] I have nvidia-glx installed, still my computer uses the vesa driver...as a result I can't change desktop effects, or even resolution. Please help! [16:38] I'm sure there are better places to find out how to do that than #ubuntu [16:38] Pici: Yes it is. I want to know how to override that protection. [16:38] Moose: how old are you? [16:38] corey: Is that relevant? [16:38] is there a command to list all network interfaces i.e: eth0, eth1, lo and so on? [16:38] Moose, did you do su, or did you sudo? [16:38] magic_ninja: sudo :P [16:38] Moose, you cant. buy a at&t unix, install it on a computer of the 80. and try it again [16:38] Moose: when i was younger I asked a bunch of silly questions [16:38] what it the most supported wireless usb dongle wifi thingy i can't use with ubuntu, i've given up trying to get my netgear to work and thinking about going out a more supported one. [16:38] ? [16:39] freshmilk does it have to be USB? [16:39] corey: Oh, well, that's your situation. Not mine. [16:39] wiijii: guess not no [16:39] freshmilk, you can get your dongle working [16:39] corey: I simply want to know why Ubuntu won't let me do such things. [16:39] freshmlik, use ndiswrapper [16:39] freshmilk probs better off getting a non-usb [16:39] Moose: This is a silly request. [16:39] Moose, linux is to secure [16:39] Moose, lcrack the kernel [16:39] I think I've figured it out. [16:39] ft [16:39] If I disconnect, that'll be why. [16:40] Moose: there is no need to corrupt the memory. If something needs hiding just pull the plug [16:40] freshmilk I'm using a Belkin expresscard model and it's fine (laptop). [16:40] freshmilk depends if you want to do things like packet injection though [16:40] can i transfer files between xp and wubi? [16:40] corey, no [16:40] moose: ram is volatile which means it needs power to work [16:40] wiijii: no i just want to go on youtube! [16:40] corey, the ram is a short life memory, but you leave traces [16:40] corey, you have to use a ram wiper to delete them [16:41] freshmilk hah, well there's a lot of info around about linux compatibility. I believe Atheros chipsets are very well supported [16:41] Incarus: could you elaborate? [16:41] corey, sure [16:41] incarus: PM? [16:41] I wouldn't mind knowing [16:41] wiijii: thing is; the dongle does seem to work but i can't connect to the internet. i.e. it connects to the network, but when i ping the router i get nothing [16:42] freshmilk Oh. So that's probably some sort of configuration problem then [16:42] wiijii: right [16:42] corey, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1008111 [16:42] freshmilk is your DNS server set as the router IP? [16:42] Incarus: if it does leave traces wouldnt rebooting remove the traces when the OS is reloded into the RAM? [16:42] I am running Ubuntu 6. I have a lot of stuff configured to run such as php5 samba, some ftp server, etc. I also have a second hard drive installed and all kinds of symlinks to it. If I upgrade to the latest version will all that have to be reconfigured? [16:42] wiijii: how do i do that? [16:43] Incarus I was under the impression that the only way you can get info of the RAM is if you cool it down a *lot* as it's powered down..? [16:43] corey, if you have 4 gb ram, your os wont overwrite alls of them [16:43] freshmilk How did you set up your wireless? [16:43] well my housemate set it up and gave me the password [16:44] !ot > wiijii [16:44] wiijii, please see my private message [16:44] i know the router ip though [16:44] How is this ot? [16:44] wiijii the ram discussion [16:44] Ah yeah well OK, I'm not talking about that now [16:44] Hi, I have the nvidia-glx driver installed, yet my computer doesn't recognize it...I can't change desktop effects, not even screen resolution! Could somebody please help me out? My xorg.conf is here: http://pastebin.com/m5bbc6860 [16:45] freshmilk so you have the router IP, the network name, encryption key etc? [16:45] yes [16:45] got all that. i'm using that info to connect on the laptop i'm on now [16:45] i have to go [16:45] freshmilk But what app are you using to connect? NetworkManger or some such? [16:46] I did rsync and I got this: rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1058) [sender=3.0.3] [16:46] at the end [16:46] wiijii: whatever the default package is im using it [16:46] freshmilk The little icon in the system tray? [16:46] freshmilk I think that's NetworkManager, not sure though [16:47] wiijii: i'm just booting into ubuntu... [16:47] How do I change what group owns a file or folder? [16:47] freshmilk If you put in the SSID (network name), the Router IP as the DNS server, and the correct encryption key AND encryption type (WPA, WEP, etc) you should be set [16:47] wiijii: fingers crossed [16:47] hi :) [16:48] je cherche un peu d'aide :) [16:48] tariq: personne parle le francais ici! [16:48] ok [16:49] hi, i'm suching for help some can help me ? :) [16:49] for ubuntu 5.1 [16:49] when I try to get my iBook to boot from cd the backlight wont turn on [16:49] !fr | tariq [16:49] tariq: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[16:50] I use amixer to increase volume using a multimedia keyboard [16:50] can a maximum vol be set? [16:51] Could someone please help me out? I have the nvidia-glx driver installed, yet my computer doesn't recognize it...I can't change desktop effects, not even screen resolution! Could somebody please help me out? My xorg.conf is here: http://pastebin.com/m5bbc6860 [16:51] freshmilk and can you create a new wireless config with the relevant details? [16:52] freshmilk You might want to try using an app such as networkmanager or wicd to help set up the wireless stuff [16:52] who can tell me how to install mac4lin [16:52] davidolphin I think you can use chgrp for that [16:52] I tryed to install flash player on my comptuer, so i use ls, cd /file, tar zxvf, ls etc, so there is written flash player is now installe on your computer, but it doesn't work :( [16:53] daviddolphin I think you can use chgrp for that [16:53] wiijii: ok i have dns servers (i'll put the router ip here), search domains ( ?? ), dhcp client id ( ??) [16:53] tariq I think you need to copy some flash files to your mozilla/firefox directory. Could you not use apt to install it? [16:53] freshmilk Just put in the DNS, probably don't need the rest [16:54] freshmilk You could even put in a static IP so you get the same IP address each time, but don't worry about that unless you know you need it [16:54] can anyone please help with ndiswrapper? Trying to get my wireless working [16:54] sorry wiijii i'm new on ubuntu i don't understand apt etc [16:55] freshmilk I'm in my Sys-Prefs-Network Config and not seeing anything about dhcp ids etc [16:55] hi there [16:55] tariq OK well there is a package manager called APT, which you can use to search for and install programmes [16:55] can anybody tell me if there's a gnome program like yakuake for kde? [16:56] tariq You can access it by going to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager. Then do a search for Flash player [16:56] ok thx wiijii [16:56] I have a problem: whenever I try to switch users without logging out my screen goes blank and nothing happens. could this be because I use proprietary drivers? [16:56] hi. i have dsl based internet connected to a modem which doesn't need userid and password to login.. But on startup it take a long time to configure network.. How to disable that? [16:56] tariq What version of Ubuntu are you using? [16:56] wiijii: from network config i selected 'wireless' tab and then selected the profile for the connection and then clicked 'edit' [16:57] freshmilk Oh sorry I do have those options actually [16:57] j #servhome [16:57] I guess I won't be doing Linux then if I can't get wireless working. I am trying to get this ndiswrapper thing working, but all these tutorials are greek to me since I am new to Linux [16:57] i use 5.10 (an old version but the new will arrive in 6 weeks :( [16:57] freshmilk Just leave it as 'Automatic (DHCP)' and it should be OK. I don't think you need DHCP id but if it's necessary I'd suggest just making one up... :D [16:57] some of it I just don't understand [16:58] tariq What d'you mean 6 weeks...? Can you not download it? Where are you? [16:58] wiijii: well this is what i have started out with and although it's connecting to the network i'm not getting a connection to the internet, i've tried pinging the router and i get nothing. [16:58] i live in france, i can download but my graver doesn't work [16:58] freshmilk How do you know you're connected to the network? I assume you're here on IRC via another machine, right? [16:59] I have a problem: whenever I try to switch users without logging out my screen goes blank and nothing happens. could this be because I use proprietary drivers? [16:59] tariq - graver? === marko-_-- is now known as marko-_- [16:59] burner [16:59] ah [16:59] damn [16:59] hum to put some file or something on a cd :p [17:00] teri20 euro's and you have a new one [17:00] Is there a channel for OpenOffice Calc? [17:00] tariq, that is [17:00] tariq That sucks. Ummm could you not ask someone else to burn it? Or download it to USB stick and ask an internet cafe to do it? 6 weeks seems a long time even to have a CD shipped [17:00] yeah, i'm using my macbook right now. i say that i'm connected because the wireless icon is showing three bars in the signal indicator.. when i right click that and select 'connection information' it has the router ip in there [17:00] hi. I installed a printer driver but had to forcibly install it because it was listed as incompatible. is there a way to force apt not to remove the printer everytime I use apt-get -f install or complain about it whenever I try to install stuff? [17:00] freshmilk What do you mean it has the router IP on there? [17:00] How do I compare my dir and my backup dir? [17:00] freshmlik if you open a console and do 'iwconfig' what do you get [17:01] how many Go do ubuntu take ? [17:01] one CD=700MB [17:01] wiijii: well i know the router ip is 192.168.1.254 and that is listed as the default route & primary dns under 'connection information'. [17:01] 700Mo ;) [17:01] Can someone know how editing a dia file in xml? [17:02] tariq, or did you mean when installed? [17:02] freshmilk Are you sure that's the router IP? [17:02] hello pls somebody.. [17:02] I reinstalled windows xp on my first harddrive, and now I dont get the option to boot into my Linux harddrive. Anyone know what I can do to see Ubuntu in my boot screen? [17:02] how to disable startup auto detection of network.. [17:02] freshmilk Could you use your settings on your macbook and compare them with the Ubuntu machine? [17:02] wiijii: not sure that is the router ip, but my macbook says it is [17:02] A wierd situation here, or I don't understand how this works? This box can play with my test box using vncviewer, but the test box cannot view this one. This box has the vncserver installed on it, and the test box doesn't. What's going on? [17:02] Droopsta, u have to reinstall grub [17:03] KIAaze, i didn't understand ur sentence (sorry it's a bit difficult for me ^) [17:03] freshmilk Do you know how to get ping working on your macbook - via the terminal/console? [17:03] How do I find all files that are not in one dir, but not in the other dir? [17:03] wiijii: iwconfig says lo is down, wmaster0 is down, wlan0 is up, and pan0 is down [17:03] sysdoc:I reinstall in my Linux drive? [17:03] freshmilk And is there any SSID information in there? [17:03] is there no way to force apt to keep the app installed? [17:03] How can I watch my connection? I'd like to see all of the urls for the requests leaving my machine. Is this possible? [17:04] !fr | tariq [17:04] tariq: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [17:04] thx :p [17:04] Droopsta, see the wiki it has instruction on how to reinstall grub [17:04] thanks [17:04] mohanohi: Put in the LiveCD and fix grub. or something like that, then again, when you re-installed XP, you may have overwritten the Grub . it could be in BIOS, I think is a fix grub issue. [17:04] Do I have to do something crazy like find dir > dir, find dir2 > dir2, diff dir dir2 [17:05] hey all, I know firestarter can change iptables to allow only outbound connections to port 80 but can I have firestarter allow outbound connection to port 80 ONLY for a single designated app ? [17:05] wiijii: could you suggest some commands for my mac terminal, i've tried ifconfig but that shows no ssid info [17:06] freshmilk Well you should be able to get the details by clicking on the wireless icon in the taskbar. But I was going to suggest trying to ping the router IP from the macbook [17:07] Anybody know how to watch all outbound requests? [17:07] freshmilk Unless your housemate has deliberately set up the router to be that IP, it's probably something else. It's usually 192.168.1.1 or *.100 or some such [17:07] well the tcp/ip settings on the mac actually specify that the router is 192.168.1.254 [17:07] wireshark has that option [17:07] I have a problem: Whenever I try to switch users without logging out my screen goes blank and nothing happens. How do I fix this? [17:07] I'd like to get the URL/ip/query string that it's requesting [17:07] Ronald wireshark has that option [17:08] wiijii: i know, i tried every known router ip default and got nothing. do you think this could a router thing, what about rebooting the router? [17:08] okay I'll try that. Thanks [17:08] Is there any one?? [17:08] freshmilk And you can presumably ping the router from the macbook? [17:08] Whats a program to show the difference of 2 files?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:09] freshmilk If the laptop is connected to the network but cannot access the internet, that usually suggests a DNS problem (converting address names to IP numbers). But the fact you cannot ping it suggests that there's no connectivity at all [17:09] wiijii: 64 bytes from 192.168.1.254: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=3.164 ms [17:09] 64 bytes from 192.168.1.254: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.493 ms [17:09] i'm knew in ubuntu.

[17:16] SAP: which version of Ubuntu? and how much RAM does your computer have? [17:16] can you tell me that where from i can learn ubuntu? [17:16] or a rule on the firewall preventing you from connecting [17:17] freshmilk And when you do 'iwconfig' does your wlan0 or whatever have 'ESSID: ""'?

[17:17] freshmilk Your mate who set up the net will probably be able to tell you if there's a mac filter [17:17] SAP, this is one of the places to start learning and ofcourse searching online with tools like google, very few learn linux in school, theres so much wealth of information online! [17:17] wiijii: yes it does [17:18] fershmilk However you would't be able to connect at all if that was the case [17:18] SAP, are you interested in learning GNU/Linux in general or more the ways ubuntu differ from other distros?

[17:20] freshmilk I don't suppose you have another wireless card you can use either? That's where we started this issue right? Probably won't make a diff rebooting the router, but hey, it's worth a try [17:20] i'm so much interested in ubuntu but bad thing is in here there is no way to start with it. [17:21] wiijii: no, but i'm thinking about buying one! [17:21] this is bs, whats wrong with my external hd, I had 50 gb free, now its all gone [17:21] freshmilk Might be an idea... but then maybe we're just missing something obvious.

[17:28] I have updated from 8.04 to 8.10. But, when I started 8.10, the loading-panel come, and it load to 100%. After that it was black, but the computer still work. Why? :( [17:29] what do you mean the computer still worked [17:29] It was o. [17:29] on* [17:29] But the screen was black. [17:29] Kottizen, kde, gnome? [17:29] GNOME. [17:29] hello all, someone please tell me what is the command to see the UUID of a partition? [17:30] Kottizen, can you switch to a vt? [17:30] Kottizen, see the mouse, etc? [17:30] ssh to it? [17:30] caimlas__: How will I do that? [17:30] The mouse lights. [17:30] !blkid [17:30] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [17:30] But I don't see a cursor. [17:30] Kottizen, ctl-alt-F1 (through F6) [17:30] caimlas__: Oh, something happend! :) [17:30] "login" [17:31] YAY [17:31] Kottizen, ctl-alt-f7 [17:31] I have login now. [17:31] mistrynitesh, vol_id [17:31] Kottizen, GUI or text? [17:31] text [17:31] c-a F7 [17:31] Kottizen, see if X works now [17:31] Hi! I'm having some trouble with setting up quota. I have set up group quota with a soft and hard limit. But the user can't exceed the soft limit at all. it acts like an hard limit. Any tips? The partition is ext3 with grpquota mount option. repquota show correct soft and hard limit. [17:31] caimlas__: Ok. [17:31] Kottizen, which video card? [17:31] No, it does not works. Back to the black screen. [17:31] caimlas__: How will i see that? [17:31] wiijii: ok, rebooted the router, nothing's changed! i haven't tried using ndiswrapper yet.. i'll go ahead and try that. thanks for your help!! [17:32] Kottizen, c-a backspace, see if X restarts for you. [17:32] caimlas__: Ok, thanks [17:32] Kottizen, you don't know which video card your system has? [17:32] caimlas__: No. [17:32] Kottizen, c-a = shorthand for ctl-alt [17:32] are you sure the firewall isn't locked up freshmilk [17:32] caimlas__: But my graphic card is from ATI. [17:32] Kottizen, ok. [17:32] Kottizen, just wanted to make sure it wasn't ancient or some sort of off-brand POS [17:32] Ok. [17:32] freshmilk No worries. I did a little search on your card and I think you need to use ndiswrapper to get things working. It's a bit of a pain, but it should be doable. If the problem persists I'm pretty sure you could get an expresscard or even another usb (check it's supported!) for not too much money [17:33] When I pressed ca, backspace it "light" on the screen for a halv secound :S [17:34] Kottizen, you could try logging into console (back to ctl-alt-F1 or such) and moving your .gnome2 directory to see if a 'fresh start' of X fixes the problem. or logging in as a different user. [17:34] Kottizen, wait, save that thought [17:34] Ok. [17:34] I wait. :) [17:34] Kottizen, you are able to get to the graphical login, correct? [17:34] ie the gnome login screen? [17:34] No [17:34] I can get the command-login. [17:34] But not the graphic. [17:35] Kottizen, do you see the black X on the checkerboard when X first starts? [17:35] Hmm [17:35] caimlas__: I don't understand you :( [17:35] Kottizen, then I'm guessing "no" [17:35] I am not so good at English. [17:35] Ok. [17:35] great [17:35] Kottizen, oh, I see [17:35] Hi! I'm having some trouble with setting up quota. I have set up group quota with a soft and hard limit. But the user can't exceed the soft limit at all. it acts like an hard limit. Any tips? The partition is ext3 with grpquota mount option. repquota show correct soft and hard limit. [17:35] 13 year, Sweden. [17:36] I have also tried to install 8.10 today, but when i choose "install" from the CD I got a black screen :( [17:36] Kottizen, do you see a black letter "X" on the a dithered grey/checkerboard/chessboard when Xorg first starts up? (Do you know what Xorg is?) [17:36] 8.04 is the only one which works. [17:36] Kottizen, ah sounds like it might be a video issue. [17:36] or a driver issue. [17:36] :( [17:36] Kottizen, how old is the computer? [17:36] Very new [17:37] From may [17:37] Last year [17:37] that's not very new. :) that's a year old! [17:37] Okey ;) [17:37] It was new when i bought ut xD [17:37] Kottizen, yeah, and my wife was young and hot when I married her. [17:38] <``Tyler``> im using ubuntu 64 bit 8.10 and i need to install ndiswrapper to use a windows driver for my internet adapter is there a way i can download it in windows? [17:38] if i have a TV card whose remote control apparently gets recognized in Ubuntu, and a module for it gets loaded, and a /dev/input/eventX device is created, but nothing ever shows up in it... what could be the reason? [17:38] Kottizen, only thing I can suggest at this point is to log in from the console and look carefully at the end of the Xorg log file in /var/log (should be /var/log/Xorg.0.log) [17:38] caimlas__: Ok. [17:38] caimlas__: *read* [17:38] Tyler....I think you can search for the packages and download them manually. [17:38] ``Tyler``, you dont have to use ndis [17:38] Kottizen, I have work to do, sorry I couldn't dig deeper with you. [17:38] ``Tyler``, are you sure your nic doesnt work? [17:39] caimlas__: Ok, can i check that file in "nano"? [17:39] <``Tyler``> its the wireless that doesnt work [17:39] <``Tyler``> it returns UNCLAIMED [17:39] caimlas__: Thanks :) [17:39] !usb [17:39] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [17:39] ``Tyler``, what kernel are you running [17:39] ``Tyler``, what card do you have? [17:39] <``Tyler``> netgear WG311 v3 [17:39] <``Tyler``> not sure what kernel [17:40] ``Tyler``: uname -r will tell you [17:40] uname -a [17:40] -r is better [17:40] -a is more comprehensive [17:40] <``Tyler``> is there a way to install this windows driver then? [17:40] can anyone get pump going with ubuntu? (distcc) [17:40] ``Tyler``, why? [17:40] <``Tyler``> so i can get online [17:40] ``Tyler``, sure, just download the deb from packages.ubuntu.com. Make sure to get the package for the correct version. [17:40] Hi . . . this is a really newbie question, but is there any way to get Nautilus to show and sort by file location? I can't even get it to show the file locations when I do a search. Any suggestions? [17:41] ``Tyler``, I think that card has an Atheros chipset. [17:41] Does someone know of a text based (to be used in an ssh session) web browser that supports javascript [17:41] ``Tyler``, will a wired connection not work? [17:41] Hello @ all! Does anybody know a prog like fake webcam to show precaptured Videos as a live webcam stream on ubuntu? [17:41] <``Tyler``> i dont have a long enough cat5 [17:41] Doonz: there is one, now which one is it... well, edbrowser supports it, but it's not your run-of-the-mill browser [17:41] ``Tyler``, are you sure you need to install ndiswrapper for it? [17:42] <``Tyler``> i was following the help files [17:42] ljl and it runs in the shell? [17:42] Hello [17:42] <``Tyler``> is that how you use windows drivers? [17:42] hi, in order to develop asp.net / MSSQL applications, I installed mono-xsp 2 package, should I also install mono-xsp, or is it the same? [17:42] ``Tyler``, hang on a moment. [17:42] Doonz: yes, but it's not graphical. i mean, it can't be graphical since it runs on the shell... but it's actually command-line based, unlike w3m or links [17:42] <``Tyler``> ok [17:42] Hi! I'm having some trouble with setting up quota. I have set up group quota with a soft and hard limit. But the user can't exceed the soft limit at all. it acts like an hard limit. Any tips? The partition is ext3 with grpquota mount option. repquota show correct soft and hard limit. [17:42] LjL ok thanx [17:43] Doonz: but there is another that can be compiled with javascript support... possibly w3m, i can't remember [17:43] crap [17:43] ``Tyler``, for wg111v3, you will probably need to use ndiswrapper. I'd recommend however, using the WIN98 drivers, not the Win2k/WinXP [17:43] edbrowser isnt in the package list [17:43] ``Tyler``, did you try this link: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/marvell-88w8335-chipset-netgear-wg311-pcicard-driver/ [17:43] Doonz: edbrowse, not edbrowser - it is [17:43] Is it someone here who can help me with a graphic epic fail? :) [17:43] oh [17:43] brb [17:44] <``Tyler``> i have the xp driver i downloaded do you know where i can find the 98? [17:44] <``Tyler``> i dont have the disc i cant find it [17:44] <``Tyler``> lol [17:44] i just need it to quickly change a setting on my router than im all good [17:44] ``Tyler``, or maybe I'm thinking of the wg111v2 [17:44] Hello, I have installed Ubuntu Server edition but when booting up it says grant@Ubuntuserver:~$ and i can type it, but how do i even get to the desktop? [17:44] ``Tyler`, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/success-netgear-wg311v3-400257/ [17:44] <``Tyler``> where can i find ndiswrapper in this package list [17:45] Hi. Anyone willing to try to answer a simple newbie Nautilus question? [17:45] Doonz: elinks is the one with javascript support, but it's disabled by default in the Ubuntu version - you'd have to recompile it [17:45] framlan, just ask man [17:45] ``Tyler``, that link details the steps needed for you to get it working. You're right, you do need ndiswrapper. Hang on again please, I'll fetch the link to the packages [17:45] marcell607: Any way to get Nautulis to show/sort by file location in the search output? [17:45] ``Tyler``, are you running intrepid?

[17:47] Mrkrabz, ubuntu servers and all other linux servers do not have desktops, but you can install one like gnome [17:48] How to do that? [17:48] Mrkrabz, the questions again comes what do you want to do with the server? [17:48] ``Tyler``, looks like you'll need http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ndiswrapper-common and http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 You'll need to install the ndiswrapper-common first.

[17:57] mezy_: it is just my opinion, but if you're going to run linux off of a thumb drive, i don't recommend using Ubuntu. It's supposed to be possible, but i've personally used thumbdrive linux and i think it's just easier to get a version more made for that. [17:57] !firewall [17:57] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [18:00] mezy_, I can promise you that if you follow this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick you will definitely make it through [18:00] Mrkrabz, you don't need a desktop for firewall and storage, though it may be easier to configure things through the graphical interface. For firewall, you'll want to either look into using iptables (without gui) or firestarter (with gui). Storage depends on what you want. smb, sshfs, afp, etc. [18:01] mezy_: that I understand, but I, too, have to ask, must you use a flash drive? it seems more effort than it's worth === rapist is now known as [_rapist_] [18:01] mezy_, at first it's frustrating but be patient [18:01] unitedpotsmokers, VirtualBox isn't showing your actual C: drive is it? Isn't Windows reinstalled in a Virtual Machine? VirtualBox isn't really intended to be used with partitions on HDs, it's designed to work with images... [18:01] Hello [18:01] hi [18:01] eternalswd , LjL : here is my grub in opensuse http://pastebin.ca/1351110 [18:01] eternalswd, No idea what they are, i just want storage of files etc, I have a 1MB LAN line so yeah [18:01] archerseven, you are right but one has a choice [18:01] 100MB LAND line [18:01] fLAN*# [18:01] tiyowan: where would i put that script so it runs before any other network stuff? [18:02] LAN [18:02] god i cant type :P [18:02] itscodyxx: want help with something? [18:02] !ask [18:02] 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. :-) [18:02] I am kind of having problems setting up an ICS from my Laptop to my Xbox 360, is there anyone who could help me with doing this? [18:02] itscodyxx: not sure about that, but there is a way to install Ubuntu on an Xbox, but not sure about how that is done either [18:02] sparr: In one of the directories...init.d, I think. I'm sorry for being vague, but I'm running Windows right now. :) [18:02] javier02: uhm... you can see that the Ubuntu entry has no kernel info on it at all. i don't think that's right [18:03] I did sudo apt-get install lxde and its installed and done evreything i got back to the line with grant@ubuntuserver:~$ [18:03] what now? [18:03] matic: that i respect, i guess if you love ubuntu enough it's probably worth the effort. like i said, I personally, don't know that it'd be worth the effort (for me) [18:03] Anyone here knows how to get WiFi working on Ubuntu 8.10? The NIC is an Atheros AR242 (or something like it) and I've JUST finished installing the OS. Haven't updated all packages yet. [18:03] javier02: in Ubuntu, you'd try to automatically update the config file with "update-grub", but i don't know if that's available in SuSE [18:03] Mrkrabz, are you connecting to it via windows? os x? another linux box? [18:03] javier02: otherwise, just add a kernel line manually [18:03] gablin: I think you need Madwifi [18:03] ok [18:03] Mrkrabz, how about setting up sshd then you can mount disks with sshfs and you dont need any other ports open? also, you can keep a screen with rtorrent and such on the fileserver and ssh into it when needed? [18:03] !athros [18:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about athros [18:03] eternalswd, What do you mean [18:03] !atheros [18:03] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:04] Yeah, basically, I am having a problem just bridging the connection over to my Xbox, and I really am clueless as to what I should enter Static IP-wise in my 360's connection settings [18:04] Zykotic, i only see drive c (a new drive where i install windows with virtual box) but i also have extended drive (drive d and drive e). but it not show, [18:04] Matic: doing this, will it let me update the files for ubuntu? [18:04] sparr: And I think you'd need the script to run *after* the network manager finishes loading. Ah yes. You could try sticking by using the GUI tool. It's in System -> Admin. -> Startup I think. Startup-Manager will let you control your startup stuff. That's what I have installed. [18:04] sebsebseb, I've downloaded that, and just finished "sudo make install" [18:04] Is it possible to talk over PM? Kinda confused :P [18:04] Mrkrabz, yes === [_rapist_] is now known as [_kind_] [18:04] sebsebseb: How do I know if it should be working? I don't see a "wlan0" when running ifconfig. [18:05] !fr [18:05] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [18:05] gablin: not sure, but I researched getting an atheros to work [18:05] my audigy soundcard has several outputs how can i configure alsa to use the output as default i want it to use? [18:05] gablin: ,beasue I was going to help someone else [18:05] !cn [18:05] gablin: so I got loads of links saved [18:05] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [18:05] sebsebseb: Ok. Care to share any of them? [18:06] gablin: ok [18:06] unitedpotsmokers, compare the drive C: you see in VirtualBox to your actual drive C: -- I doubt they are the same. As i said Virtualbox was not designed to see actual parititions, it's means to work with it's own internal image files -- I has seen some attempts to use actual partitions, but I've never tried it myself... your trying something that could be quite difficult to accomplish i'm affraid... [18:06] gablin: pm and i'll copy there, bugger pastebin [18:06] Essentially, I downloaded Firestarter, but I don't know how to specifically set it up to share my connection over to my 360 [18:07] anyone around? [18:07] yes [18:07] got a question i cant seem to find answer too [18:07] if i have a TV card whose remote control apparently gets recognized in Ubuntu, and a module for it gets loaded, and a /dev/input/eventX device is created, but nothing ever shows up in it... what could be the reason? [18:07] hello can somebody help me... i am trying to connect to internet on my other computer.. its an acer travelmate,, runing xubuntu..interpid.. and with the nm-applet it sees this wifi.. and conectes to it, i even get an ip adress, i double check in iwconfig and ifconfig and all works well [18:08] !ask | Gosujii-sama [18:08] Gosujii-sama: 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. :-) [18:08] but i cant navegate [18:08] however this laptop conected to the same essid works perfect [18:08] , navigate? in what? [18:08] LjL, do you have LIRC running? "ps aux | grep lirc" like it's lircd but not sure... [18:08] hi, I just finished installing Ubuntu in Italian. I tried to install KMail but got it installed in English. Howcome? 1) where and how to obtain docs for upating the repositories for applications? 2) Why did I get English rather than Italian? How to avoid so? [18:09] ubuntu hardy the package iroffer installed it and got it running opened ports on router (forwarded) and put in ports into ufw 1025-1125 and set the config iroffer to start 1025 (it increases 100 heince 1025-1125) however its still getting blocked [18:09] what else could be blocking it [18:09] fotorebelion2, did the IP address of acer is the same sub-net as your other computer which connect to the essid? [18:09] Zykotic: not currently, but i've tried it (both it and "inputlirc"). still, i was under the impression that with or without lirc, /dev/input/eventX should show stuff when pressing buttons [18:09] Is there a way Ubuntu can connect to a citrix server? [18:09] , check iptables [18:09] Zykotic, ok... i understand now. hmm.. i have document to open in drive D, and i want install a windows software which located in drive e. but im using ubuntu now, i can only use windows with virtualbox. u have any idea Zykotic to solve my problem? [18:10] yes [18:10] hey, if I start a process like "./my_program &" is it suppose to get independent from the shell that it created? This is because if I close the shell window it is still running in the memory!! [18:10] so ignore the ufw all together and manually work the ip tables? [18:10] , yes [18:10] there a site on the cmds for it? [18:10] fotorebelion2, and can you ping to the gateway? [18:11] cantoma: maybe he detaches it self from its parent [18:11] Incarus: the thing is it's setup to give Mac users access to a MS online system.. any guidance on how to go about this would be great. [18:11] does anyone know how to make magic sysrq work in gnome on a laptop [18:11] , do you want to connect ubuntu and ms? [18:12] , over citrix? [18:12] unitedpotsmokers, (option A) try installing the MS software in ubuntu using Wine (option B) install the software inside of VirtualBox -- required for either option -- copy the file you need of of D: to your home directory [18:12] Incarus: I'd like to connect Ubuntu to this online site that's utilizing citrix for Mac Access. [18:12] from this one i can [18:12] but from the other it says operation not permited [18:13] , Ubuntu -> Mac -> MS [18:13] , do you want to access ms or mac? [18:14] i have hp dv2799en laptop and installed ubuntu on it..but i couldnt get my wifi to work [18:14] ok. i will try opt a. how to install wine zykotic? [18:14] , hm, you want to connect the citrix server [18:14] fotorebelion2, try /bin/ping 192.168.XX.XX [18:14] i still cant install it [18:14] Incarus: well... sort of I guess.. the site is ties specifically to IE6+ and the folks that manage the system have finally realized that MS is not the only game in town and have set up citrix access for macs.. [18:14] erUSUL: it seems to [18:14] *tied [18:14] ops,, sorry i already have wine [18:14] i forgot [18:14] erUSUL: did you know how to kill a list of process by knowing their name? [18:15] ps x [18:15] i get the same error [18:15] Incarus: If I can utilize the Mac portal on citrix via Ubuntu it would simplify my life tremendously. [18:15] otherwise I have to kill around 100 numbers [18:15] cantoma: killall and pskill take process names... [18:15] cantoma: man killall [18:15] , hm, i think you have to install Citrix ICAClient [18:15] i don't want to kill all the process just some [18:15] Incarus, is there a MAC ICAClient now? [18:16] Incarus: is that available for Ubuntu or linux in general? [18:16] unitedpotsmokers, "sudo apt-get install wine", once it's installed try "wine PROGRAM-TO-INSTALL" so long as that works you should be a "Wine" submenu in applications that looks a little bit like the layout of a MS Start Menu... [18:16] mrwes, i thought ubuntu? [18:16] , yes, it is [18:16] Incarus, yah there's a Ubuntu client [18:16] , http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=ubuntu+connect+citrix+server&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 === dtcrshr is now known as datacrusher [18:17] , here's the howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CitrixICAClientHowTo [18:17] Incarus, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingCitrix [18:17] mrwes, ... [18:17] Incarus: thanks! I'll paruse the links and see if I can get it working.. mrwes thanks to you too. [18:17] :) [18:17] , np [18:17] you're getting slow :P [18:17] thank you. i'm back in my old ubuntu now :D [18:18] fotorebelion2, how many ethernet adapters on your computer? [18:18] mrwes, what? I? [18:18] heh [18:18] hello, where can I get a working gnome-keyring-manager for hardy? [18:18] Incarus, that was the only thing keeping my wife from trying Ubuntu -- Citrix support [18:18] hello, I am trying to host warcraft3 games with wine, I did this on 8.04 no problem, but in 8.10 people can't join my games but I can join theirs. I have forwarded all my ports and the system is configured the same as my 8.04 one yet they can't join, what must I do to fix this? [18:18] must I add the warcraft server to /etc/hosts? or should I place my lan IP of 10,0,0,x there? [18:19] mrwes, k [18:19] the acer lists eth0 for cable wlan0 for wifi and pan0.. which i dont realy know whati it is [18:19] nyad: wrong channel try #winehq [18:19] nyad: and make sure you get latest wine from winhq.org [18:19] instead of Ubuntu repo [18:19] Zykotic, thank you very much, i try now, brb [18:19] nyad, you can try this [18:20] fotorebelion2, pan0 might be your 1394 firewire adapter. [18:20] fotorebelion2, but strange, usually you should can use ping command. [18:20] I have a Dell 22" LCD connected to my 1420's VGA output and although it detects the screen correctly and sets the correct resolution i have trailers coming off the graphics as if it is the wrong resolution [18:21] mrwes, i saw an old solaris server with cde (the old kde) connected with windows nt over citrix [18:21] sebsebseb: yes that could be a possibility that new wine has stopped it from working [18:21] Incarus: try what? [18:21] nyad, try adding new rules to iptables [18:21] can anyone point me to an up to date howto to quickly create self signed ssl cert for apache2 on latest ubuntu [18:22] Zykotic, where is default folder for wallpaper in ubuntu. i want to paste all my wallpapers there, because current location of my wallpaper is locate in drive d, the problem is when i login to ubuntu it will not load the wallapaper, until i open drive d once, the wallpaper will show [18:22] yes i know.. this is really strange.. it was working fine last night. :_( [18:22] "Web Browser/2 wont start when i launch it. [18:22] Incarus, CDE is not really the cold KDE, CDE is Sun's proprietary Common Desktop Envirtonment, not really related to KDE other then they are both Windows Envirtonments [18:22] , k [18:22] Incarus, very kewl [18:22] nvm, got a working package from debian [18:23] unitedpotsmokers, make a folder for your wallpaper in your home directory and move your wallpaper there, then add the wallpaper to gnome. [18:23] , cde is dead (3.0 @ 22. Juli 2002) [18:24] at the moment I am copying across apache2-ssl-certificate and ssleay.cnf from an old machine - but there must be a recommended way for the current version? [18:24] Incarus, install Solaris and you'll see it [18:24] in a server, is it possible to encrypt the harddrives so that it can be used as an samba / nfs share and if the power is lost the disk are automatically locked? [18:24] fotorebelion2, try run "ls -l /bin/ping" [18:24] !encrypt [18:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about encrypt [18:25] , hm, not in opensolaris and solaris uses now also gnome [18:25] !iptables [18:25] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [18:25] lo127: not sure about that quite, but the Ubuntu alternate CD can encryt a hard disk [18:25] -ll fotorebelion2 [18:25] -ll fotorebelion2 [18:25] I have a Dell 22" LCD connected to my Dell Inspiron 1420's VGA output and although it detects the screen correctly and sets the correct resolution i have trailers coming off the graphics as if it is the wrong resolution [18:25] Incarus, true as I mentioned before CDE is proprietary but it's in Solaris, just not OpenSolaris [18:26] lo127: only on a new install though [18:26] Incarus, sorry man this is OT [18:26] , k [18:26] question, where is the apm configuration file in hardy? [18:26] !apm [18:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about apm [18:26] !apmd [18:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about apmd [18:26] hubar, "sudo find / -name apm.conf" [18:27] !gpsd [18:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about gpsd [18:27] Zykotic, u mean file system > home > %user folder ? and create a new folder for my wallpaper? [18:27] , nice, and the question [18:27] unitedpotsmokers, exactly! [18:27] Incarus: any idea what to look at for possible fixes? [18:27] :DCC SEND "_-_-_" 0 0 0 [18:27] ahh, this is really frustrating me. Does anyone know a remedy to an Xbox 360-Ubuntu bridge connection problem? [18:27] hmm. [18:27] Incarus: thanks [18:28] , no [18:28] , np [18:28] a search under /etc returns nothing on apmd.conf [18:28] , for what? [18:28] can the file browser be set to remember column widths? [18:29] How can I see which graphic card I have using the termianl? [18:29] lspci, thanks [18:29] how do i set up my USB joystick? [18:29] hubar, search for apm.conf [18:30] !joystick [18:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about joystick [18:30] Incarus, nothing either [18:30] gartral, plug it in and see if something shows up in /dev/input/ like js0 [18:31] ok, lemme check [18:31] hello, how could i see contacts by email in kubuntu (kopete)? [18:31] Hi all, I am currently running from the LiveCD trying to decide whether I want to install 8.1 on my system. I like what I see mostly, but I have 2 problems. Let me start with problem number 1: I own 2 external hard drives that connect through USB. Both use FAT. One of them works just fine. The other one on the other hand is not detected in any way when I plug it in... Can anyone help me fix that? [18:31] khirr: this is pretty much the wrong channel really try #kubuntu [18:32] my computer died over the weekend. I am freaking out a little about the data that was on the hard drive. I have removed the hard drive and tried to look at it with my Mac but it thinks the drive is unformatted or unrecognizable. What would you suggest I do to maximize my chances at data recovery? [18:32] Zykotic: yes, js0 does appear! [18:32] maestrojed: how's about you try to read it from linux instead of from mac os? [18:32] maestrojed, do u use ubuntu? [18:32] i have to go [18:32] maestrojed: not really Ubuntu question I guess try #linux #hardware [18:32] armence, is it detected with fdisk -l ? [18:33] maestrojed, you might want to look into photorec if you need actually data recover software [18:33] hubar, the name of the apm config file is hdparm.conf [18:33] bye [18:33] maestrojed:use a live cd to get data back, or a win/linux comp, or look in mac support for ext3 support [18:33] armence: are you sure the other one is not detected? [18:33] gartral, so the system sees you joystick :) so in whatever game you want you may need to point it too /dev/input/js0, or the joystick might be working already? [18:33] what??? [18:34] Am I that stupid? [18:34] nivalis: Let me try that command. [18:34] wtf... [18:34] this is insane [18:34] !wtf | hubar === Kissaki^0ff is now known as Kissaki [18:34] hubar: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [18:34] Zykotic: ok, better Q: how do i configure the joystick universally? [18:34] is there a simple way to use just the ID3 tags on MP3s to find duplicates? [18:34] Incarus> hubar, the name of the apm config file is hdparm.conf [18:35] gartral, I think joystick support in linux is more of a case-by-case basis?!?! [18:35] OK, the terminal does not really want to start apparently... [18:35] armence:ubuntu-live cd ? [18:35] That was insanely wrong. [18:35] DasEl: Yes [18:35] information. [18:36] armence:alt+F2 ,enter gnome-terminal [18:36] armence, are you using a xubuntu live cd? [18:36] armence:terminal up ? [18:37] anyone suggest a good flight simulator?

[18:38] armence:you can also start terminal via accessoires (menu-item) [18:39] armence, or ALT+F2 and run 'xterm' [18:39] DasEl: When I try that, I get a tab in the "taskbar" saying "Starting Terminal" for a little while and then nothinng [18:39] gartal:might try flightgear [18:39] gartral: half off topic and half on topic I guess heh [18:39] oh god--- I destroyed compiz or something [18:40] how do I reset the compiz settings from console? [18:40] hechu: ALT+F2 gives me the following error window: Unable to load file '/usr/share/gnome-panel/glade/panel-run-dialog.glade'. [18:40] onyl got terminal and irc woring [18:40] armence:sure the cd is in order ? when booting up, did you check the cd by verifyfing medium (bootoption?) [18:40] firefox is not willing to run [18:40] DasEl: Yes, I am also did the MD5 checksum before burning the CD [18:40] LjL: because my Linux machine died [18:40] Dykam: you can turn all effects off [18:40] <[_kind_]> why there's no emerald-themes package in ubuntu now ? [18:41] which command, sebsebseb? [18:41] maestrojed: just use an Ubuntu live CD on your Mac [18:41] datacrusher: Yes the system that died was Ubuntu [18:41] I can't load the manager either :P [18:41] Dykam: not sure about command, but GUI way is easy [18:41] armence:then I'd suggest try a reboot [18:41] I can't load the manager either :P [18:41] maestrojed: i just don't think Mac OS will read your Ubuntu partition, at least now without tweaking [18:41] I can not use the GUI [18:41] Dykam: oh [18:41] DasEl: I am running with acpi=off though because otherwise, my laptop freezes... [18:41] Dykam: hummmmmm restart X stop x or something maybe [18:41] already tried a reboot, must be one of the latest plugins I enabled [18:41] !xorg [18:41] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [18:41] armence:still no cause for no terminal [18:41] LjL: ok, making a Live CD now [18:41] sebsebseb, already rebooted... [18:41] DasEl: OK, I'll try to reboot [18:42] guys, I'm trying to set up software raid, created md0 raid5 (for /), md1 raid1 (for /boot), and a swap. I mounted md0 in /mnt/ but when I try mount /dev/md1 /mnt/boot I get "mount: /dev/md1 already mounted or /mnt/boot busy". I have checked /etc/mtab, md1 is not there, also I have rm and mkdir /mnt/boot, so it's wrieable, anyone knows a solution? [18:42] Zykotic, now i trying to install a win software with wine, when i want to run that software it show a msg box and it ask me to install gecko (mozilla html engine)... so i need to download or just ignore...? [18:42] Be back soonish... Rebooting takes forever... [18:42] LjL: the system that died was Ubuntu 6, will it matter which version of Live CD I use? [18:42] Dykam: you got Grub boot loader sure you do, you can use recovery mode and let that fix xorg, that will get rid of your propritary driver (I assume you have that installed) and then bye bye Compiz [18:42] maestrojed: no [18:42] Dykam: that should stop Compiz [18:42] Dykam: I guess not the best way to do it, but should work [18:43] LjL datacrusher Zykotic DasEI: Thank you all! [18:43] unitedpotsmokers, are you trying to install Steam? [18:43] hmm, I try to get some people googling, probably removing the plugin is enough [18:43] Dykam: ah ha you run some commands to put on Compiz? [18:43] Dykam: have you got the advanced settings manager? [18:43] unitedpotsmokers:there is wine-gecko as compa-layer [18:43] I can't run any windowy thing... [18:44] Dykam: you can run commands that remove compiz stuff though [18:44] Dykam: did you put the advanced settings manager on? [18:44] I just need te boot with another manager, a.k.a get into the gnome login screen [18:44] sebsebseb, how?

[19:45] I'm downloading via torrent now, But its stupid that i got pt down to 5KB [19:45] . [19:45] at 98% [19:45] possible to upgrade directly from 7.04 to 8.10? [19:45] lol at noobs and their Windows Live Messenger, ther was a guy just now in here. [19:45] they so want it in Linux to [19:45] mrkrabz, that is the nature of BitTorrent. [19:45] <_VIM_> geirendre1: nope [19:45] sebsebseb: Please be civil. [19:45] DasEI: what irc client do you use? [19:45] It wasent bot torrent [19:45] how would i use dd to copy one usb disk to another usb disk ? [19:45] DasEI: any problem with my sources.lst= [19:45] It was direct download from Ubuntu. [19:45] bit [19:45] thanx [19:45] Mrkrabz: on an 6mbit down, it takes me 30min for a iso via torrent, that's k [19:46] <_VIM_> geirendre1: it's better to just reinstall cleanly anyways [19:46] i'm at 25-30MB down [19:46] threepwood: pidgin [19:46] sebsebseb: isnt that like 15 years ago? [19:46] LOGANonUBUNTU: isn't what 15 years ago? [19:47] Mrkrabz: so for the future you promise to hold an iso in your torrent client to make it better, nor ?? XD [19:47] DasEl: That was not a comment on you by the way... I sometimes forget IRC clients don't send body language and tones of voice... I also wanted to specify, I have a Mandriva system (which I rarely use) on which the hard drive which fails here works... Don't know if that's a useful piece of information... [19:47] how can i tar content including directories and subdirectories and all files [19:47] DasEI: sources.lst are ok? [19:47] DasEI, What? Lol.. [19:47] ubuntu.ru [19:47] <_VIM_> its #ubuntu-ru [19:47] BrixSat: sorry,missed it.. [19:48] Hello. I've installed Ubuntu 8.10 with the Mini ISO on a HP ProLiant DL380 G5 with a HP Smart Array P400 RAID controller (with 2 SAS disks in RAID 1+0). When booting after the installation, GRUB hangs with "Error 2". I've googled and found out that it could be because the RAID controller module/driver for P400 (which I think is cciss), hasn't been loaded. I've checked and it seems to be part of initrd.img so it should get loaded. I've tried bot [19:48] Mrkrabz: whether you are downloading via a torrent or direct download, one is always at the mercy of the remote server and the internet connections between you and the server. NOthing much one can do about it. [19:48] DasEI: http://pastebin.com/f510217ea :D [19:48] Plugh, thanks. That fixed it [19:48] hello, how do I tell if I am running ubuntu 64bit version?

It need too many things to download and install it. [19:52] BrixSat: hardy is lts and better on some older machines, and I always prefer a fresh install instead of an dist-upgrade, which often causes trouble [19:52] anyone know why a debootstrap'd amd64 intrepid ibex xen domU would be getting segfaults with any of the tools installed by wine_1.0.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb (e.g. wine doesn't run :-P) ? [19:52] BrixSat: because I asked you for you distro and gave you a link for ibex, that won't fit hardy [19:52] haha the music doesnt finish a song, maybe because of live mode [19:53] Is iPod Nano (4gen) working great with Ubuntu 8.10 ?

[22:21] BrixSat: 2.6.27.11.14 [22:21] Does anyone know how to get Nautilus to show file locations in the search results? [22:21] laron, this post seems to suggest they get removed after each restart http://www.kismetwireless.net/Forum/General/Messages/1232454969.7799411, but I've never used Kismet and have no further suggestions [22:21] BrixSat: well, 2.6.27-9, but that was the package version [22:21] i need more info than that already read it ^_^ [22:21] i cant install an atheros card on ubuntu and i have read the manual on the wiki as a friend here toldme to [22:22] ^^ [22:24] hrhr === strangesthings|a is now known as strangesthings [22:26] Dreamglider-> you get that after you fdisk -l ? do you even see the command fdisk -l ? [22:26] n8tuserf: no after -> dd if=/dev/source if=/dev/destination [22:27] Dreamglider-> that is strange, and anything else you display after that command is okay? [22:27] ciao [22:27] it's still scrolling i think it's the individual bit's being copied or something like that. [22:28] n8tuserf: it's just the terminal window in wich i issued the command [22:28] Dreamglider-> again, you type a command like ls -la afterwards, is the display still messed up? [22:28] where do i get libdvdcss2 [22:29] philipp-> umm do you ever use google to find these? [22:29] n8tuserf: i just did the dd command to clone a disk, i have not done anything else in terminal [22:29] Dreamglider-> then do it, and lets see [22:29] philipp, medibuntu [22:29] so, when i try to download somthing via linuc dc++ i get the error msg "could not open target file: could not open file". what does this mean? is it a permissions-problem maybe? what permissions are needed where? i just changed the permissons of my home folder so that only i can view it, could that be a problem? [22:30] n8tuserf: i tried some commands in a second terminal window, all is ok there [22:30] Dreamglider-> you are not listening .. same window... [22:30] how can i install header files of the kernel so i can install the madiwifi? [22:30] n8tuserf: i cant, its still "working" scrolling [22:30] got question does it mean anything written to run on linux is subject to adhering to GPL? [22:30] no. [22:30] theRealBallchalk, no. [22:31] if it's working its gona take some time to move 200Gb [22:31] Dreamglider-> then its buggered up.. i doubt it you'll get a good disk image [22:31] i thot anything written on linux is required to be opensourced? [22:31] no. [22:31] what's the diff between gpl and bsd ? [22:31] hey everyone [22:31] theRealBallchalk: there are many differences. [22:31] ppl write for bsd to cover their code no? [22:31] theRealBallchalk, No its not. there are web sites that discuss the various 'licenses' and stuff [22:31] theRealBallchalk: the main one is that GPL is viral. [22:32] how's gpl bad? [22:32] viral in a good way :) [22:32] ohhh [22:32] theRealBallchalk: it's not. [22:32] <[ifroog]> !inetd [22:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about inetd [22:32] <[ifroog]> How do i restart inetd? [22:32] Alright, I give up. Die in a fire, NetworkManager. Hello wicd. [22:32] Out of curiosity, is the next release of Ubuntu going to be released in the next few months? I'm planning on starting a-fresh with a brand-new Ubuntu release, formatted HD, etc. [22:32] theRealBallchalk: you can use GPL development tools like GCC and Anjuta without fear of having to use GPL yourself. [22:32] HenZo, :) i find wicd very good. [22:33] supertanker: april [22:33] audacity is a cheat [22:33] Dr_willis: I hope I will too. [22:33] malakhi, thanks, that's perfect [22:33] theRealBallchalk: the only time you need to worry is when you use a library or a piece of code written by someone else. [22:33] I have a multiboot question. I'm going to install Slackware on another partition, and I want to update GRUB afterwards so that I can boot into Slackware. How? [22:33] I have a question: I have a Dell m1330 on Ubuntu's Intrepid. My audio isn't working as well as on Windows [22:33] theRealBallchalk: if it's GPL, then your code must also be GPL. [22:33] what's a best software for mao please????????? [22:33] theRealBallchalk: but there are other licences too, like LGPL, that have looser requirements. [22:33] ohhhhh [22:33] <[ifroog]> How do i restart inetd? [22:33] what's a best software for mao please????????? [22:34] fredooo, i dont think anyone has a clue what you are asking. [22:34] !best [22:34] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [22:34] so like if i write a gps app that uses a gpl'ed lib then my written program has to also be opensourced? [22:34] theRealBallchalk: yes. [22:34] hmmmmm [22:34] Mao the chairman of the communist party, obviously needs software [22:34] theRealBallchalk: so if you're using external libraries, pay attention to what its licence is. [22:35] in theory many companies that use their stuff on linux gets checked then? [22:35] what's a best software for mao please????????? [22:35] like cisco's iphone and some routers [22:35] fredooo, what is mao [22:35] ? [22:35] mao was the leader of china in the revolution [22:35] duh [22:35] music assistance computer [22:35] theRealBallchalk: yes. those companies have to publish the source of any open-source software they use, along with any modifications made to it. [22:36] theRealBallchalk: if they use GPL code but do not distribute their own code when they distribute the binaries, they are breaking the licence. [22:36] theRealBallchalk: please note though that if you do not distribute the binaries, you can do anything you want. [22:36] theRealBallchalk, machine language, naturally. [22:37] if i have a TV card whose remote control apparently gets recognized in Ubuntu, and a module for it gets loaded, and a /dev/input/eventX device is created, but nothing ever shows up in it... what could be the reason? [22:37] it seems theres more linux users than BSD usrs [22:37] theRealBallchalk: the GPL requirements only apply when you distribute your software in binary form to someone else; the GPL requires that in such a case the source is made available as well. [22:37] ebox vs webmin: i am a newby...eveybody says that ebox is supported and webmin no..i have play with the 2 and it seems that webmin is easier to use and more fucnctions ebox..can somebody explain Why should i go with ebox? [22:37] Rafael_, best would be to learn to configure things manually and not use either one. [22:37] I have a multiboot question. I'm going to install Slackware on another partition, and I want to update GRUB afterwards so that I can boot into Slackware. How? [22:37] if that's the case, then companies can modify and write thier own libs then? [22:38] it's still easy for them then [22:38] theRealBallchalk: you can write proprietary software on Linux just fine; GTK is LGPL for example, which allows linking with non-GPL modules. [22:38] theRealBallchalk: yes since Linux is better on the desktop apparantly, and BSD is more for servers [22:38] i want to connect to an not password protected ad-hoc and i need a static ip. may there be a problem with hardy? [22:38] hi [22:38] i understand that but if i would like ot use any of them why should i use ebox? [22:38] theRealBallchalk: also to do with the lisesnes [22:38] oliver_g_1: hi [22:38] Whys is there no webmin package in the official repository? is it cause it competes with landscape? [22:39] theRealBallchalk: of course, being a good community member and adhering to free software principles will make software development for Linux much easier :) [22:39] dotblank: putting things in the repositories isn't done on a rationale of non-competition [22:39] dotblank: i believe it's not there because it's little maintained and has some serious issues [22:39] I have installed the madwifi module from https://launchpad.net/~timg-tpi/+archive/ppa (under Hardy), but the system still loads the ath_pci.ko module that came with the original kernel (and which is too old) [22:39] theRealBallchalk: but you can still have proprietary offerings based on Linux. For an example, look at oracle. [22:39] hey all.. im on 8.10, is it possible to get firefox2 instead of 3? ive tried to apt-get install firefox-2 but it doesnt work... firefox 3 crashes alot [22:39] What alt is there? [22:39] ahh ok [22:40] kantlivelong: ok yes you could get Firefox 2, but that's not being suppourted anymore as far as I know [22:40] is there a way to automatically have the dksm-built module "supersede" the older module? [22:40] kantlivelong: and Linux has other good browsers [22:40] i misunderstood the binary distribution port of gpl [22:40] part* [22:40] sebsebseb: im aware of other browsers.. but how can i get 2 to install? it in the unsupported repo? [22:40] how do i force a quit of a wine program? [22:40] Chosuke thanks [22:40] kantlivelong: why do you want 2? [22:41] sebsebseb: 3 crashes alot [22:41] theRealBallchalk: you're welcome. [22:41] George2, you could use 'xkill' and click on the window of the app.. BE CAREFULL with xkill [22:41] kantlivelong: sure, but why FIrefox 2 instead of a good browser that is still being suppourted by it's makers [22:41] theRealBallchalk: though I am not a lawyer. If you really are worried about licencing, you should consult one :) [22:41] kantlivelong: using Firefox 2 is stupid [22:41] sebsebseb: im sure ff will be fixed but i just wanna stick to it but on the older saver version [22:42] sebsebseb: no its not.. [22:42] older is not always 'safer' [22:42] sebsebseb: ff3 is a POS and idk why ubuntu supports it [22:42] kantlivelong: if you want something that is like Firefox, and still suppourted etc, I know exactly what to recommend [22:42] Dr_willis: i've just tried xkill but no joy :/ [22:42] kantlivelong: and if you want stuff that isn't like Firefox, but good browsers, again I know what to recommend [22:42] flashblock seems to help a lot of with resource usage on FF3 [22:42] the program has frozen :( [22:42] opera,seamonkey, etc...

[22:43] not a fan [22:43] any thoughts on a xen-create-image debootstrap'd 2.6.27-11-server amd64 intrepid ibex xen domU segfaulting immediately on any wine command with multiple versions of wine?

[23:38] @all okay if I've copied the iso files from the ubuntu install cd onto a partition, what do I put in grub to boot that partition? [23:38] !bugs | Aquina [23:38] Aquina: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [23:38] does anyone know if i should install preload, or is there something in ubuntu which already takes care of thatg [23:38] armence, type dmesg (which will show you the kernel log messages), then turn the drive on and type dmesg again - you should get some sort of messages regarding the drive [23:38] is there a way to umm just clone my screen? [23:38] llllll: What do you mean? [23:38] !preload [23:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about preload [23:38] nobody can help me with my tar problem? [23:39] !ask | Siegfried [23:39] Siegfried: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:39] i have my tv hooked up but i cant get the two displays to show the same thing [23:39] Flannel, i asked one screen before :( [23:39] Aquaina yes... but it seems to have lots of bugs [23:39] !info preload | b1n42y [23:39] preload (source: preload): adaptive readahead daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4-5 (intrepid), package size 31 kB, installed size 180 kB === Pretto_AL is now known as AL_Pretto [23:39] ops i meant Flare183 [23:40] lol its ok [23:40] siegfried: have you tried the graphical archive manager? Just a workaround :) [23:40] [T]ank: now, how do i disable auto login> [23:40] Zykotic: The output is really long, what should I look for? [23:40] it's on a server arbitrary :/ [23:40] Aquaina yes... but it seems to have lots of bugs [23:40] sorry total noob man no idea [23:40] philip I recommend you to exec "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras" this is required too. [23:40] it finds the files in the images/ folder of the tar [23:40] armence, probably something to do with /dev/sd? [23:40] b1n42y: there's nothing in Ubuntu that takes care of that (except at boot time), though you'll find that the kernel ends up doing a lot of pseudo-preloading itself by advance caching [23:41] heeyy ubuntuers! [23:41] but i just get cannot mkdir, and cannot open errors, no such file or directory [23:41] for each file matching [23:41] armence, the most recent stuff is at the bottom [23:41] hmmm that is a tough one... And I suppose the size of the tar prohibits you from making a local copy... [23:41] Playback failure: [23:41] DVDRead could not open the disk "/dev/scd0". [23:41] Your input can't be opened: [23:41] VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///dev/scd0'. Check the log for details. [23:41] Playback failure: [23:41] philipp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:41] DVDRead could not open the disk "/dev/scd0". [23:42] philipp: 25% done upgrading fiesty to gutsy ubuntu [23:42] <[T]ank> mezy: System > Administration > Login Window [23:42] [ [23:43] Zykotic: Here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/125522/ [23:43] uncled what? [23:43] [T]ank, on that topic, how do i turn autologin ON. Clicking the thingy there has no effect... [23:43] anyone have a 720 p config for xorg threw vga [23:43] <[T]ank> arbitrary: Not sure which thingy...... [23:44] armence, dmesg again that "waiting for device to settle before scanning" says it's beginning to see the drive but the drive isn't ready yet [23:44] <[T]ank> Im leaving for the day, so... cant be of any further assistance. [23:44] arbitrary, i edit the gdm config files to enable auto logging in.. i forget what one to edit.. [23:44] [T]ank: it doesn't show up in system>admin === jussio1 is now known as jussi01 [23:44] [T]: the checkbox that says 'enable autologin' is checked, and the username is selected, but when I restart, it doesn't autologin - just goes to the normal prompt. [23:44] philipp: i'm upgrading from fiesty to gutsy right now [23:45] * Automated backport upload; no source changes. [23:45] but why [23:45] i have no clue what to do to get this to work [23:45] Zykotic: Here is what I now get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/125523/ [23:46] arbitrary, you did restart the gdm service? and i THINK it autologins once at boot.. thats it.. theres also a 'delayed login' feature that may be what you want [23:46] if i have a TV card whose remote control apparently gets recognized in Ubuntu, and a module for it gets loaded, and a /dev/input/eventX device is created, but nothing ever shows up in it... what could be the reason? [23:47] Dr_willis: I did a 'restart' of the machine, would that do it? I am currently using timed login as a workaround, but its not ideal having to wait ten seconds for it to start :) [23:47] how can i change on ubuntu 8.04 + plesk 9 the langauge from a user. i have done it for root. but the user stays in the wrong language [23:47] arbitrary, restart the GDM service [23:47] Zykotic: To be more precise, I get those two lines obviously repeating a LOT. If I unplug the hard drive, they stop. [23:47] hi guys my head phone socket does'nt seems to work, is it a hardware or a software problem, i am using Ubuntu 8.10 [23:47] arbitrary, you can enable both. but it can get annoying at times to have the stuff autologging in [23:48] armence, so a quick google for " usb unbuntu "no sense" " shows several bug reports and people with the same problem, didn't see a solution though - but it's certainly beyond my expertise, ANY ELSE??? [23:50] anyone know of a program to add effects to a webcam while I'm using it with amsn or something [23:50] Dr_willis: did 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart'. Is that correct? It doesn't seem to be coming back up - just stuck on Reloading system log daemon... [23:50] where are the custom icons located? [23:50] i'm specifically looking for the "iPod" icon [23:50] arbitrary, that sould of killed X off and gotten back to the GDM login screen [23:50] shear_clone, cheese has effects, but no tie in with MSN?!?! === erik_ is now known as Guest62328 [23:51] I am trying to install using the netinst - do I have to check "Ubuntu Studio desktop (must install)" in the software selection menu or just Ubuntu desktop ? [23:51] Zykotic: I'ma guess that was to me. [23:51] Dr, well, it did kill of X, but I don't think its coming back :) I'll do a reboot. [23:52] sigh, im beginning to think ubuntu hates my comp [23:52] hello [23:52] Wildburn: why [23:52] thomasp: hello [23:52] seb: between hardy and intrepid and every version of nvidia drivers I can find, never get anything but blank screen till I reboot in recovery and xfix [23:53] Zykotic: Thanks for the help [23:53] Wildburn: I see [23:53] Wildburn: yeah and Intrepid Ibex lacks suppourt for old NIvida graphics cards [23:53] how can i setup centralized logins for my network, so that home folders and usernames/passwords are kept on a server? [23:54] seb: yeah its frustrating because even ctrl alt f1, f7 whatever wont do anything, but Xorg.0.log shows no problems [23:54] i made a bad decision and added the jaunty servers to my sources.list...did an update and then installed one program [23:54] everything seems to work [23:54] but after reboot, no gtk programs load propertly [23:54] remove the juanty program [23:54] and never do that again! [23:54] i have [23:54] or anything similar [23:54] but that didn't fix it...and i reverted my sources list [23:55] uncategorized: ok you probably buggered up your system a bit now, so maybe just upgrade to jaunty alpha 6 hummmmmmm [23:55] i think the issue is that it did something to libc6 and glib [23:55] uncategorized: the beta is soon [23:55] this is what it installed: [23:55] http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libgpod4 [23:55] uncategorized: upgrading early on the beta is ok [23:55] fdisk -l [23:55] oops [23:55] so i think all i need to do is revert those changes [23:55] Wildburn: how old is the card? [23:56] Wildburn: and the propritary drivers installed? [23:56] geforce2 go [23:56] Dr_willis: Rebooted, everything is back online, autologin still doesn't work, but I'll just stick with timed login for now. Thanks for the help. [23:56] old [23:56] Wildburn: ok which Ubuntu you on now? [23:56] hi, I have a dual boot system with windows + ubuntu. I just reinstalled windows so it wrote to the mbr and thus I have grub no more. I booted ubuntu liveCD now... when I try to run sudo grub-install /dev/sda I get the message "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device." ... any idea what's going on ? thanks [23:56] Seb: Ive tried proprietary, and then removed them [23:56] 8.04 at the moment [23:56] !grub [23:56] 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 [23:57] Wildburn: ok Ibex probably lacks suppourt for your card [23:57] Seb: it seems like the second I change the xorg.conf it boots black screen, when I enable Driver "nvidia" [23:57] Wildburn: and not much difference there [23:57] Wildburn: and Hardy is not perfect with Nivida graphids cards either [23:57] ,but that's nto Ubuntu's fault [23:57] seb: apparently ibex should work now, found a huge bug thing on it but none of the options seemed to work [23:57] true Seb, wondering if any distro will load this bugger [23:58] Seb: just wish it would give me an error in log to find the problem but everything loads fine, just no display [23:58] is there no way to have it reinstall the core packages for intrepid [23:58] Wildburn: Ibex lacks suppourt for old cards, as for hardy I remember when I tried to help a guy get his Nivda card working (by remote connecting) on an old lap top, and we could never get the one from repo or nividas site to work [23:58] Seb: also I think because mouse and keyboard are usb it wont let me ctrl alt anywhere [23:58] i just want it to make sure the versions match whatever is in the intrepid repo rather than the jaunty [23:58] <``Tyler``> does anyone know anything about the error where 8.10 wont boot it says cannot enumerate usb device? [23:58] Wildburn: in the end he put Windows back on that lap top, plus he wanted to run loads of Windows rubbish anyway [23:58] Wildburn: Sorry, I think I missed where you said what card specifically you are using... What is it? [23:59] Arbitrary:gefroce2 go [23:59] When will the lincity-ng update be added to the repository? The release was Jan 25 '09 [23:59] anyone know a good alternative to dvtm? i'd like four logs outputted in a single console window, and dvtm isn't scriptable [23:59] Seb: yeah thats the killer I dont want winblows again on here, want it to be linux like my desktop, which of course runs ubuntu fine [23:59] my router keeps restarting every half an hour to a hour, any ideas? [23:59] get a new 1 [23:59] Kpuljek:sounds like a router failure, get a new one [23:59] Wildburn: well other good user friendly distros, I assume you want user friendly [23:59] Does anyone know how to display the output before GDM is started to an external? My monitor on my laptop is broken, and I can't read fsck errors to get it to boot. [23:59] or stop serving hi spped porn
