Can someone help me get it open? the path to the file is /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh [00:03] ActionParsnip: yeah but that can take long [00:03] look at ut3 still no linux client [00:03] ZykoticK9, same thing, nothing... [00:03] I need to be at root to get it open ...so sudo -s ...is that right? [00:03] hello [00:03] RPS, CAREFUL!!! "sudo nano /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh" [00:03] I have a ubuntu server hooked up to my network with apache2 installed and runnign, and some files on my machine, in my user/name/ and woud liek to get these files to display in a browser from my server [00:03] would be nice if someone can get it work under wine [00:04] how can i play youtube on firefox using ubuntu 8.10? [00:04] i got ut3 to work under wine [00:04] glitsj16: hey thanks, but i just found it, but now im disappointed at its capabilities. i thought i would be able to add in packages to it making it a 'customized' cd, but i can only change the language and some other small stuff [00:04] indro: it shouldnt be too long. i'd imagine they will use a linux installer like doom3 [00:04] BrixSat: install the flashplugin-nonfree package [00:04] RPS gksudo gedit /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh [00:04] BrixSat: install flashplayer [00:04] jgood, sorry man, I got nothing!

[00:04] ActionParsnip: they just need to port the dll to linux. [00:04] jwaldo: use manual then :) [00:05] it is still disabled, the same way i was able to install windows as [00:05] the installer just unpacks the ddl [00:05] jgood, i don't think so... [00:05] im trying to use pppconfig for a phone as a modem, using lsusb reads my iden motorola modem, but i cant select it to use with pppconfig [00:05] firefox warns me of a missing plugin i have instaled it and still nothing [00:05] the whole game is packaged in a ddl [00:05] Will Jaunty have the latest kernel? [00:05] k, just throwing it out there, i doubted it had anything but i don't know so better safe then stupid [00:05] BrixSat: are you 64bit or 32bit ubuntu? [00:05] 32 [00:05] I'm trying to get a new X running so I can run wine on it. But I get a weird error message when opening a new X. Any clues on how to fix this? http://pastebin.com/d311f15d [00:05] i can get into the game with wine + firefox but when the game starts it crashes. :/ [00:05] Rolcol: yes [00:05] ActionParsnip: I hadn't tried manual yet. Much of what I've read suggested not to [00:05] can anyone help me at all with my problem, that i just stated above [00:06] Ac [00:06] ActionParsnip: Sweet. Thanks. [00:06] > I have a ubuntu server hooked up to my network with apache2 installed and runnign, and some files on my machine, in my user/name/ and woud liek to get these files to display in a browser from my server [00:06] Rolcol: jaunty will go with 2.6.28 (not the very last one) [00:06] ActionParsnip: im 32 bits ubuntu 8.1 [00:06] austin put the files in /home/$username/public_html [00:06] humm i try now wine + ie7 maybe that works... [00:06] BrixSat: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [00:07] indro: its a bit weird ive heard, check the appdb [00:07] indro: IE7 in Wine what why? [00:07] indro, i don't think anyone has figured out a working Linux Quake Live yet - hopefully you will. [00:07] indro: you could run virtualbox in seamless mode [00:07] fosco_: what is the latest stable? I don't pay much attention because I don't have to compile my kernel =\ [00:07] indro: check out "winetricks" [00:07] ZykoticK9, playing around with the other options, nothing works for any of the options, i can select language, i can hit my F keys, i can arrow up and down, but it doesn't select an option [00:07] done [00:07] it had installed nothing [00:07] i need some help with getting my ethernet/wireless card working i posted on the fourms here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1085389 but didnt receve much help any one have any ideas [00:07] BrixSat: close all firefoxes and then rerun it [00:07] ActionParsnip: it installed nothing :S [00:07] jgood, have a different keyboard you could try??? [00:07] nightrid3r: ok i have it all in there already [00:08] Rolcol: now 2.6.28 is the last, but mostly sure there will be a 2.6.29 version when jaunty comes [00:08] what would you guys recommend banshee or rhythmbox? [00:08] im trying to use pppconfig for a phone as a modem, using lsusb reads my iden motorola modem, but i cant select it to use with pppconfig [00:08] Is Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition CD a good Live CD method to recover a crashed system? [00:08] fosco_: but due to feature freeze... too late. Alright. Thanks for your answer. [00:08] firefox breaks downs when i click on a youtube movie [00:08] silversurfer: sure. [00:08] hmw: okay, will do. ;) [00:08] austin enable mod_userdir in apache and restart apache [00:08] can i install ie with that? [00:08] ZykoticK9, yea, but i doubt thats it because it lets me select my language, and every key works in windows, and all the ones i hit in there (enter, arrows, f keys, ect) [00:09] @ hmw [00:09] ActionParsnip: if i click on a youtube.com movie firefox closes down [00:09] austin then http://localhost/~$username will show the files [00:09] BrixSat: whats the output of: file /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so [00:09] hello. i reinstalled my computer, and was wondering how i could make my home partition become my home directory. because now i simply have a new home directory, which has none of my original settings or files. thanks [00:09] hmw: winetricks done. what now? [00:09] nightrid3r: hwo do i enable and restart? i'm sort of a newbie at all this command line stuff [00:09] indro: i remember seing a similar option in winetricks, but I am not completly certain about IE. It installs certain apps, that wouldnt install in wine. [00:09] jgood, have you tried BOTH Enter keys? you not trying to use the one on the numpad are you [00:09] ActionParsnip: what should i do with that? [00:09] !home [00:09] Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [00:09] BrixSat: its a terminal command [00:09] ZykoticK9, laptop, no numpad [00:09] hi,after fsck ran last I got a load of inode errors, and now some of my files are missing and I've a load of numbered files in the lost+found folder of the partition (ext3) how do I find out what their original filenames were and restore them to their original locations? [00:09] Crap, still can't find the brasero lock file. Hm. [00:10] hmw: i installed it, how i can use it now? [00:10] jgood, what model? [00:10] I'm trying to get a new X running so I can run wine on it. But I get a weird error message when opening a new X. Any clues on how to fix this? http://pastebin.com/d311f15d [00:10] indro: run it from the terminal [00:10] ActionParsnip: bla bla bla bla (No such file or directory) [00:10] i did wsh winetricks corefonts vcrun6 [00:10] austin not sure, ubuntu apache conf is different from the centos conf i use, maybe google for it [00:10] BrixSat: ok [00:10] ZykoticK9, hp pavillion 5000 series more specifically 5218nr [00:10] BrixSat: ok we need to find the .so file [00:10] ok [00:11] how? updatedb? [00:11] BrixSat: we'll go full force [00:11] BrixSat: sudo find / -name *.so | grep libflasplayer [00:11] what do you mean full force? [00:11] BrixSat: that command will scan the whole / partition [00:11] ActionParsnip: Selecting "Manual" gets me a chart exactly like this one: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3614/3327188278_4c537a4d9f_b.jpg Does the option to adjust that happen after I click Next, or am I still stuck with wiping the drive? [00:11] nightrid3r: alright got it, [00:12] austin, sudo a2enmod userdir , then sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [00:12] jwaldo: no, use full manual [00:12] ActionParsnip: finished and nothing came up! [00:12] Can someone help me out installing a webcam? [00:12] thanks ubottu, but i already had a home partition set up when i did the reinstallation. it seems that the guide you gave was for if you didn't have a home partition already set up. is there anyway, i can make my home partition become my home directory. [00:12] BrixSat: oh, ok weird [00:12] jgood, did a quick seach, didn't find anything - it seems like the Enter key isn't working for whatever reason, you might try plugging in a usb keyboard if you got one -- other then that I have NO idea... sorry man [00:12] austin, perty sure it's userdir, /etc/apache2/mods-available list all the mods you can check there for it [00:13] BrixSat: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-nonfree [00:13] ZykoticK9, well it works, because i hit enter to select my language, thanks for the help, i'll try playing with it some more see if i can't find anything out [00:13] jwaldo: use manual partitioning and you can use the unallocated space to make (at least) / and /swap [00:13] hi,after fsck ran last I got a load of inode errors, and now some of my files are missing and I've a load of numbered files in the lost+found folder of the partition (ext3) how do I find out what their original filenames were and restore them to their original locations? [00:13] ActionParsnip: instaling :D [00:13] glitsj16: nevermind about the capabilities, i just didn't finish using it all the way. the reason was because it think it wouldn't because i am using a live cd. [00:13] kopolee11, set up the partition you were using as home in /etc/fstab as mounted on /home [00:13] I tried using http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3706711&postcount=9 and I ended up getting this while trying to run make: http://pastie.org/406627 [00:13] nightrid3r: alright its all done, but still wont' display...keeps givign me a NOT FOUND [00:14] ActionParsnip: I did check the Manual bubble, but the result was the same as the "Guided- use largest free space" [00:14] new message printer may not be connected already did the hplip update and message stays the same need help after google search. [00:14] !webcam | carbine [00:14] carbine: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [00:14] BrixSat: ok then close all firefoxes and try: http://www.rathergood.com/blode2 [00:14] Unless there's another sort of 'manual' I'm missing [00:14] jwaldo: thats fine if the unpartitioned space is what you wish to use [00:14] I went through that already. Checked the sony section for the eyetoy and it takes me through the same process. [00:14] ActionParsnip: still closing down firefox [00:14] austin do you "own" the files [00:14] jwaldo: if you want full control use manual again and you can create partitions as you like [00:15] ok, thank you nickrud_ [00:15] nightrid3r: I'm the only use, and the admin, so yes [00:15] BrixSat: make sure they are all dead with: ps -ef | grep firef [00:15] ZykoticK9, at least now i know that it isn't me just being stupid... i always fear that [00:15] kopolee11, if that doesn't make clear sense, just say so [00:15] Is there a way to resize my ubuntu partition and then install another os on the space thats freed without deleating everything on my ubuntu? [00:15] BrixSat: you should only see the grep command output [00:15] jgood, :) [00:15] carbine: got a program such as AMSN to test your web cam in? so yeah any program where webcams should work [00:15] new message: printer may not be connected already did the hplip update and message stays the same need help after google search. [00:15] could anyone tell me how to terminate a full-screen application [00:15] Tried Skype, doesn't detect it. [00:15] austin chmod -R 755 /home/$username/public_html [00:15] But I can't even install it. [00:15] yubuntu: full screen the whole screen?

[00:16] sebsebseb, yes [00:16] yubuntu, alt-f2 xkill , click on screen [00:16] BrixSat: what is the output of: echo $USER [00:16] root [00:16] nickrud, which button is "xkill" ? [00:16] can someone help me with getting my wireless card to work? [00:16] sebsebsesb: Here's the my problem: http://pastie.org/406627 [00:16] BrixSat: are you logged on as root? [00:16] yes [00:16] mezy: there is I guess, but with the alternate CD you get more control about what to install. oh and there's ubuntu minimal [00:16] yubuntu, you type xkill , it will change the mouse pointer shape [00:16] !minimal [00:16] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [00:16] BrixSat: why? [00:17] nightrid3r: still not showing...i ran it [00:17] thanks [00:17] ActionParsnip: Does the bar only represent the free space, then? I was assuming it showed the whole drive [00:17] ActionParsnip: im loged in as root in the shell and a regular user in the graphical system [00:17] nickrud_, i'm checking out my fstab file, and i'll admit, i'm not exactly sure what i need to add. if you could please clarify that would be very helpful. [00:17] new message printer may not be connected already did the hplip update and message stays the same need help after google search. [00:17] !printer [00:17] austin is apache2 user a member of your group? [00:17] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [00:17] BrixSat: good. i hate idiot logging into x as root [00:17] jwaldo: read the screen, the white bit is unallocated [00:17] nightrid3r: i don't know? [00:18] Anybody else here willing to take up my install problems? short summary: i go to install ubuntu on a new partition of my hard drive, i press enter on install ubuntu, nothing happens... the cd kinda starts to rev up the doesn't do anything, afterwards not able to select anything else, so it selectd it just won't go [00:18] I'm trying to get a new X running so I can run wine on it. But I get a weird error message when opening a new X. Any clues on how to fix this? http://pastebin.com/d311f15d [00:18] ActionParsnip: so now what? [00:18] !fstab | kopolee11 there's some decent advice here; essentially you'll be adding a line similar to the one that mounts the / partition [00:18] BrixSat: ok then run firefox in the gui and it should work [00:18] kopolee11 there's some decent advice here; essentially you'll be adding a line similar to the one that mounts the / partition: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [00:18] ActionParsnip: no it works not :S [00:19] I unplugged a drive, booted it in an other machine to try (didnt worked, saying UUID was invalid), plugged it back in the original machine and it still says the uuid is invalid (wont boot), what the? [00:19] jgood: ok bad CD? did you md5sum check it before burning? Is the CD scratched? maybe your CD drive can gone bad even [00:19] thank you both nickrud_ and ubottu! I'll see if it works [00:19] austin man ls, there you can find how to show owner and group [00:19] sebsebseb, did md5 check, nope, and if the CD drive was bad would it still load up the ubuntu screen? [00:19] it simply drops me to the basic shell... [00:19] hi!! [00:19] ActionParsnip: There are also a Windows partition and a couple other small ones. I was assuming they were the blue and orange segments [00:19] sebsebseb: i dont want to waste another cd. im using a usb to run live. [00:19] austin, not to butt in but I'm pretty familiar with this part of ubuntu's apache config. you have your files in ~/public_html and you're looking at localhost/~username with the browser, right? [00:20] jgood: if you still got the ISO you could md5sum [00:20] BrixSat: ok try this: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree [00:20] !md5sum [00:20] To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [00:20] nickrud_that is correct [00:20] join ubuntu-br [00:20] BrixSat: then open firefox as a user and go to: http://www.rathergood.com/blode2 [00:20] austin, did you do any steps that modified apache's config that enabled user directories? [00:20] sebsebseb, i just ran an md5 check like 5 minutes ago with zykotick9 helping me, it was what it should be according to him [00:21] How do I get into a file if it says I dont have the permition to? [00:21] jgood: ok [00:21] nickrud_ well i was abel to go into it previosuly... [00:21] doumo, for starters perhaps trying twinview and gaming is not the best option for right now, but your metamodes needs a comma between them "Option "MetaModes" "1680x1050, 1920,1080" [00:21] nightrid3r: well what do I do when i get ut of it [00:21] ActionParsnip: and now what? [00:21] *in it [00:21] hmw: hm still not working. :/ [00:21] jgood: other ways it can be installed [00:21] !install [00:21] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[00:21] austin, you mean display them in the browser, when pointed at ~username? [00:21] err from = why... [00:21] sebsebseb, jgood gave me the md5 24EA1163EA6C9F5DAE77DE8C49EE7C03 for 8.10 desktop i386 [00:21] ActionParsnip: yes im there [00:22] Question: During my Ubuntu installation, one of the advanced options was to not install a boot loader. Is there any reason why you wouldn't install it? I thought it was required [00:22] indro: there is an app database on the winehq web site. Maybe you find your program there, and if youre lucky, you might even find work arounds. [00:22] BrixSat: is it showing the anim / option to install flash? [00:22] sebsebseb, what do you mean other ways it can be installed? as in...? [00:22] ZykoticK9: well if it's the one it says on ubuntus site. releases.ubuntu.com then md5sum [00:22] jgood: as in the above [00:22] no [00:22] ok [00:22] jgood: other media you can install with [00:22] nickrud_this is what i have in my URL bar : http://192.168.1.106/home/austin/public_html/home_template.html [00:23] nickrud_, it works with and without the /home/ [00:23] austin, change that to 192.168.1.106/~austin [00:23] JosephLinkous: I think Ubuntu can be booted straight in like Windows, but then no recovery mode, and can't just change to a later kernel and things, as a result best to always put the bootloader on [00:23] Oh, Question #2: Is there a way to quick switch between the two desktops, like an alt-tab thing? [00:23] I need some HELP HELP...... Im trying to send some of my files to my portable hard drive and it says It cannot mount it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[00:27] darko956, and what chipset is it?, does it show in lspci or lshw -C network [00:27] austin, portforward.com [00:27] servo888: you can use GDM instead [00:27] alright, i'll check it out.... nuckrud_ what do i do after i port foward? do i get a seperate address per file, and i get that on a place like godaddy for a domain? [00:27] yeah ive tryed that ita an Atherous chipset [00:27] !gdm [00:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm [00:27] servo888: use gmd / slim and select kde as your session [00:27] sorry ActionParsnip , didnt see you there in time ;-) [00:27] i have a big problem, I messed up my ubuntu instalation so now it wont boot, it will get past the loading screen then go black. Anyway, I want to reinstall ubuntu but I cant untill I get my files back. so here I am on a live cd trying to get my files, the only problem is, I think when I installed jaunty it incripted all my files or something because when I try to get into the home folder it says access denied or something. So How do [00:27] nickrud_, well, there is nothing at /var/crash , does that mean my system didn't kernel panic? [00:27] austin is there a "nat/qos" page [00:27] it froze completely. [00:27] ActionParsnip: slim????? [00:28] sebsebseb: yes, slim [00:28] servo888: startkde [00:28] !info slim [00:28] slim (source: slim): desktop-independent graphical login manager for X11. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.0-1 (intrepid), package size 449 kB, installed size 792 kB [00:28] nightrid3r: ??? [00:28] ActionParsnip: should i remove previous flash [00:28] what is an "invalid swap space"? (came up when installing uswsusp) [00:28] ActionParsnip: ok I didn't know about slim [00:28] BrixSat: if you want [00:28] wolter_, not sure where that would end up except there. Not even sure if the ubuntu kernel has kernel panic logging enabled by default [00:28] ActionParsnip: how? [00:28] servo888: I guess you just install gdm, and then choose it as your log in [00:28] doumo, you might also want to change it too "1680x1050, 1920x1080; 1680x1050, NULL" which might help with your gaming - it will turn one monitor off if a game asks for 1680x1050... that helped me get Quake4 working with my Multi-monitor setup [00:28] sebsebseb: there are many login managers, just like there are many desktop environments [00:28] indro: ah ha, lol, there it is. [00:28] The more I look, the more it seems to be that the installer isn't recognizing the free space [00:28] and wehn i do a lspci its an atherous communications inc unknown device [00:28] ActionParsnip: oh ok well this is Linux :D [00:29] what is an "invalid swap space"? (came up when installing uswsusp) - My swap is active, and the partition is larger than my RAM. [00:29] austin lemme check, you still have original firmware in linksys wrt54gl? [00:29] sebsebseb: slim is the manager for low footprint distros [00:29] austin, you probably have a dynamic ip address from your provider, you might want to use something like dyndns.org [00:29] <[ifroog]> !find svn [00:29] Found: libapache2-svn, libsvn-dev, libsvn-doc, libsvn-java, libsvn-perl (and 37 others) [00:29] ZykoticK9: thanks for the tip ill see if ti works [00:30] austin, http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54GL/Apache.htm [00:30] nightrid3r: yah, original firmware. [00:30] ActionParsnip: how can i remove previous flash versions? [00:30] dpkg -l | grep flash [00:30] BrixSat: depends how you installed them [00:30] austin http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54GL/TalkSwitch.htm [00:30] i have installed whar ActionParsnip told me to! [00:30] ha! faster :) [00:30] nightrid3r: i went to there static IP address guide, and it didn't give me alnux option [00:30] doumo, just noticed you put the comma between Meta & Modes, that's not right it's suppose to be between the numbers 1680x1050,1920x1080 [00:31] I tried to set secondary monitor resolution and position with grandr but it's telling me "User set screen size larger than max screen." Anyone have a clue what should be done? [00:31] So, I'm tempted to run a little experiment here. [00:31] I think My xorg.conf is missed up. Can someone look at it and let me know? the SClayout I think has bad information for the keyboard,mouse and graphic card. http://pastebin.com/d311f15d [00:31] Agh, I need hel[ [00:31] p [00:31] austin static ip is ONLY is your isp gives you a static ip [00:31] ZykoticK9: ahhh, I misunderstood you. [00:31] Help with volume settings. I just uninstalled pulseaudio and now I can't hear anything from my speakers. [00:31] darko956, check your chipset compatibility here--> http://linux-wless.passys.nl/ [00:31] I have this old box, no windows on it. [00:32] austin for what you want to do you need to change dhcp server settings [00:32] doumo, i just didn't explain it well... [00:32] My friend is a near-complete computer illiterate. [00:32] doumo, I think line 86 should be 640x480 [00:32] wheres the jaunty channel? Does anyone know? [00:32] I'm tempted to just put ubuntu on it and tell him to have fun :-). [00:32] However, he wants to play video games, dunno how much pain that might be. [00:32] DowopDiDo #ubuntu+1 [00:32] i still cant play youtube files even after instaling from adobe site the deb fil :S [00:32] BrixSat: www.adobe.com get the tar.gz extract to your home folder. create the folder ~/.mozilla/plugins [00:32] puff: depends on the games, and he could dual boot [00:32] BrixSat: and copy the .so file to the nw folder [00:33] sebsebseb, yea none of the common suggestions did anything [00:33] Anyone here know how to install Quake 3 on 64bit Ubuntu? [00:33] thanks [00:33] i can play animations but not the video :S [00:33] puff, gaming in ubuntu is kinda limited compared to Windows. There are games, but not nearly as many. if they're a gamer, you experiment probably will fail - or that's my hypothesis [00:33] nickrud_, I changed it thanks [00:33] from liveusb, how do i make a folder on my hdd [00:33] hello, i have a question. I'm trying to help someone but got stuck : we are trying to mount a local partition, /dev/sda3 but mount returns a " Stale NFS file handle" error o_O Anyone knows what can be going on ? [00:34] i do not see my card there [00:34] hey guys [00:34] zlr "umount -f " [00:34] nightrid3r: i called them, they told me i have one if i have a router..... [00:34] i did post on forums at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1085389 it might have a little bit more information for you [00:34] pyroger: hi [00:35] I think My xorg.conf is missed up. Can someone look at it and let me know? the SClayout I think has bad information for the keyboard,mouse and graphic card. http://pastebin.com/d311f15d [00:35] can anyone help me... my files on my hard drives seem to dissappear when the server is left idol for a while...anyideas... hi sebsebseb! [00:35] hello again, i was wondering what was a quick way to look at your partition tables without resorting to a live cd [00:35] sebsebseb, so the common install problems page was no help, and what do you mean by other media to install it? [00:35] darko956: is lspci doesnt show it, make sure the lil switch to enable it is set to on and that its enabled in bios [00:35] will try, ZykoticK9, thanks ! [00:35] kopolee add storage device manager [00:35] nevermind [00:35] jgood: media as in things you can install it from [00:35] puff, for gaming see #winehq and #cedega and i'll talk to you here #seaphor [00:35] darko956: you can always turn it off then on to see if the system rreacts [00:35] puff: 2d games with enough RAM would probably be ok in a virtual machine as well [00:35] 3d games though nope [00:36] sebsebseb, so what would be an alternative? all i have is cd and usb ports [00:36] darko956: you could also read through: dmesg | less [00:36] jgood: you can install from a USB stick yes [00:36] any ideas? [00:36] sebsebseb, i do have a thumb drive and an external hard drive.... so should i try the thumb drive then? [00:36] well [00:36] !install [00:36] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

It seems to want to wipe them all, and seems to ignore the free space no matter what [00:37] !scp | kesi [00:37] kesi: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [00:37] Anyone know a command to remove .svn folders from a folder and all sub-folders? [00:37] nightrid3r: ok i got my ports fowarded...now what? [00:37] !sftp [00:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about sftp [00:37] jwaldo: yes you need to click manual then click next [00:37] sebsebseb, thanks! that's what I was trying to remember :) [00:38] austin the original interface of linksys is limited, maybe the isp helpdesk can help you configure forwarding [00:38] austin thet shoud be it [00:38] kesi: yeah and I guess you could use FTP as well [00:38] Thank you all who helped me with my sound problems! I got it all working now :) this channel rocks and so does ubuntu! <3 [00:38] help:( my files on my hard drives seem to dissappear when my server is left idol for a while...anyideas... it works fine when i reboot then if i leave the machine idol for aa while they just dissapear:( hi sebsebseb!

[00:38] nightrid3r: well....i don't really know what i did. where would i get my address, and what information do i need if i'm going to attache a domain name to it? [00:38] and i am checking bios right now [00:38] austin give me your external ip then i can see if i get trough the router [00:38] http://rafb.net/p/JStSSZ19.html lspci output [00:38] from liveusb, how do i make a folder on my hdd again? [00:38] ActionParsnip: So clicking 'next' won't go straight to wiping the drive, then? [00:39] pyroger: wait til it gets dropped and then run dmesg | less to see whats going on [00:39] nightrid3r: what is my external ip? [00:39] mezy: partition editor? [00:39] ok [00:39] jwaldo: not if manual is selected [00:39] austin: http://www.whatismyipaddress.com [00:39] I think My xorg.conf is missed up. Can someone look at it and let me know? the SClayout I think has bad information for the keyboard,mouse and graphic card. http://pastebin.com/d311f15d [00:39] nightrid3r: or where do i find it...is i 192.168.1.1? [00:39] ah ok [00:39] austin: 192.168 stuff that's your internal [00:39] nightrid3r: 70.121.62.62 [00:39] there u go [00:39] austin no thats not the one, i need the ip your isp gave you [00:40] austin ok [00:40] ActionParsnip: it is still now worning :( [00:40] ActionParsnip: Then I shall click "Next", and hold on to my recovery disk in white-knuckled terror [00:40] hogwash: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-get-atheros-ar5007eg-or-ar242x-wireless-cards-may-be-other-models-working-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html [00:40] what am i looking for when i type dmesg | less [00:40] nightrid3r: what will you be doing with that nubmer? [00:40] it now shows a button on all flash animations and if i prress it loads the animation [00:40] thanks pyroger [00:41] austin and shanes website :) [00:41] austin: what do you want help with? [00:41] BrixSat: so there is an intelligent output from file ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [00:41] ActionParsnip: it now shows a button on all flash animations and if i prress it loads the animation, but on youtube it stukcs on the main movie player [00:41] i see nowhere in my bios to enable the card [00:41] nightrid3r: :D [00:41] BrixSat: btw are you running all this in your root console?? [00:41] austin your router is configured now and your website is reachable [00:41] nirghtrid3r: sweet, what did you enter in? [00:41] and did you actually see the website? [00:42] ActionParsnip: /home/cesar/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped [00:42] austin no not yet [00:42] nightrid3r: oh you saw the directory? [00:42] BrixSat: ok thats cool, just making sure you werent messing with roots home [00:42] yup [00:42] umm hi.. I just installed ubuntu on my PC, but it seems to hang as X starts.... is there any way to figure out what the problem is? [00:42] nightrid3r: what did you type in? [00:42] Action Parsnip:] EXT3-fs error (device sdb1): ext3_find_entry: reading directory #2 offset 0 [ 7011.736406] Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 0 [ 7011.736412] lost page write due to I/O error on sdb1 [00:43] austin http://70.121.62.62/~austin/ [00:43] actionparsnip: thats one thing its saying for one of the harddrives... [00:43] BrixSat: you could copy ot to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins [00:44] ActionParsnip: I've selected the manual mode, and now have a mess of options [00:44] nightrid3r: alright nice....few questions i have now: 1) will my ip ever change, and if it does will it be difficult to resettup? 2) how vulnerable am i to hack/crack attacks 3) are otehr comptuers on my entwork safe? 4) what do i do to get a domain hooked onto one of the web pages [00:44] :D [00:44] austin make sure you rename your files to end with .html [00:44] pyroger: i had a drive like that. I ended up replacing it === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix_da_catz [00:44] How do I remove games completley from ubuntu with sudo apt-get remove? [00:44] Hi all [00:45] austin: have a hardware firewall and keep ports closed unless you need to open them for something [00:45] coreyman: sudo apt-get remove && sudo apt-get autoremove [00:45] jwaldo: you need to create 2 partitions in that free space, / and /swp. make swp about 1Gb and use the rest for / [00:45] coreyman: sudo apt-get purge remove program [00:45] coreyman: and might be some hidden .folders even so left. in home [00:45] sebsebseb: its --purge not just purge [00:45] action parsnip: :( i have two drives doing it tho... and they are both 1TB :( [00:45] coreyman: view show hidden files and folders [00:45] I mean, like, the standard games that come with ubuntu [00:45] ActionParsnip: I think both works [00:45] How do I remove those. [00:45] austin if your ip from isp is static it will never change, you box might be vulnerable if apache or the scripts (php) you use are vulnerable, other computers are protected by the router [00:45] what are they called. [00:46] coreyman: gnome-games [00:46] ActionParsnip: Would I use the "new partition" button for that? Would I check the free space first? [00:46] dean: thanks [00:46] coreyman: indeed the standard games that come with Ubuntu are not that good, but they are probably part of ubuntu-desktop [00:46] coreyman: and you don't really want to just remove ubuntu-desktop [00:46] I just installed ubuntu, how do I make sure that it starts up with the acpi=off option? Otherwise, it freezes when loading. [00:46] action parsnip: when you replaced it did it work? by anychance is there some kind of sleep option that is kicking in after a certain time or sometin? [00:46] coreyman: also those games will hardly take up any space [00:46] ActionParsnip: the same thing :S some animations require me to click a play button to start the animation and other like the main video of youtube just shows ok and after a while it stays gray [00:46] austin if you get a domain you'll have to reconfigure your apache conf and use a vhost in the domain [00:46] armence: update /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:46] sebsebseb dean got me :D [00:46] coreyman: this is Ubuntu not Windows, loads can be done with just 8GB even [00:47] sebsebseb: as for my fire wall, do i just pull one off of the package manger? [00:47] dean: I'm running from the live cd though... [00:47] I just wanted to remove them, they were bothering me. [00:47] nightrid3r: and is this very difficult? [00:47] austin: could get firestarter, but hardware firewall is the best, so the one in your router [00:47] i still dont know what to do to get my wireless card to work :-/ [00:47] austin: and you could find out about iptables if you want as well [00:47] !iptables [00:47] 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). [00:47] austin the easy way to do that is use webmin + virtualmin, then you have an easy webinterface to change your settings [00:47] BrixSat: have you got flashblock or adblock installed [00:47] is there a way to easily remove packages that were installed due to dependancies from another package? (such as I installed amarok and now want to delete the hell out of it) [00:48] nightrid3r: that sounds interesting, but does it work for all routers? [00:48] nightrid3r: so sudo apt-get install webmin + virtualmin? [00:48] nivardus: sudo apt-get --purge --autoremove [00:48] thanks, action [00:48] !webmin | austin [00:48] austin: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [00:48] hi, how do i save a file in nano? im confused [00:48] :( [00:48] austin yes, your router doesn't care about domains and stuff, it only knows ip adresses and ports [00:48] ogre: Nano I woudn't recommend using it if your new to Linux [00:48] ogre: ^O (Ctrl-O) [00:48] og01, ^X means Ctrl X [00:48] ^ = ctrl [00:49] darko956, /join #seaphor and i'll help you there if not here, see cara, she's real good, i'm about to log [00:49] Dr_willis: not in na grep ;) [00:49] I hate how nano is the default and confuises people [00:49] theres better 'beginner' editors out there. :) [00:49] ogre: ctrl+x [00:49] ActionParsnip: no! [00:49] ahh thats what had me screwed up thanks dean Dr_willis [00:49] i had a lot of flash in the extras like flash 9 and 10 i had deactivated all [00:49] nighrid3r: so in ubuntu, how do i get my web address? [00:49] I had to explain to a few 'beginners' at work that they did not want to hit the ^ key then W :) [00:49] austin if you have unlimited bandwith you could even host some friends site with that setup :) [00:50] darko956: hi ok uhmmmmm === Aquina is now known as Aquina_ [00:50] Dr_willis: what editor should be the default === Aquina_ is now known as Aquina [00:50] nightrid3r: i'm likeing this.... [00:50] using kino, and when I paused the playback... the sound got stuck. Is there any way to stop it and/or fix it without restarting? [00:50] darko956: ahtros wireless yes? ok you need madwifi [00:50] austin: www.ipchicken.com [00:50] <_VIM_> dean vi [00:50] dean, i used mpedit on some disrtos - its very straight forward.. even has pull down menus in the console/terminal [00:50] <_VIM_> vi much easier than *THAT* nano thing [00:51] * _VIM_ hides [00:51] _VIM_: i find nano easier [00:51] nano is really.. annoying in ways. [00:51] ZykoticK9: actually we just rebooted on a live CD, it's not mounted and the mount still gives this STALE NFS error [00:51] http://whatsmyip.org/ austin [00:51] I am updating my /boot/grub/menu.lst file in order to have my system boot with acpi=off what should I do? Should I just add "acpi=off" at the end of the file? === UncleD- is now known as UncleD [00:51] nightrid3r:???? i know my ip address... [00:51] Dr_willis: why annoying? [00:51] ActionParsnip: hard wrapping by default [00:51] austin: www.ipchicken.com will tell you it [00:52] zlr, your running of the LiveCD... OH... what was your actual problem again? [00:52] ActionParsnip: and no pretty colors :D [00:52] ActionParsnip, compared to mcedit, or otehrs.. its just not good in many ways. :) [00:52] actionparsni, i know it though [00:52] is it possible to compile ubuntu from the installed version on the hard disk. [00:52] especially as a 'default editor for the total novice' [00:52] austin then what did you meen [00:52] raylu: not bothered about colours [00:52] armence: put it in defoptions in that file [00:52] my sound is stuck in an loop even though I closed the applications that were using it. How can I fix the problem without restarting? I trying restarting alsa-utils, but that only stopped the sound until it starting it again. [00:52] ^^ we're trying to mount a local ext3 partition which has the ubuntu install on it [00:52] ActionParsnip: This look right? http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3615/3326468713_89661d36c2_o.jpg [00:52] ActionParsnip: that's because you don't have them [00:52] armence: add it where it says defoptions= [00:52] Dr_willis: i guess its what im used to [00:52] ActionParsnip: :'( after a while youtube makes firefox crash (get grayed) [00:52] armence: to the end of that line and then do sudo update-grub [00:52] and it gives this NFS STALE FILEHANDLE error [00:52] but flash works fine [00:53] jwaldo: looks fine [00:53] zlr, could you pastebin the output of "mount" [00:53] Hello! I am trying to get subverstion working on ubuntu server... and am getting this error: [Wed Mar 04 12:36:22 2009] [error] [client 118.93.59.226] File does not exist: /var/www/html/svn - that is because my svn repo is in /home/svn... Could anyone point me in the right direction to change the location where apache thinks the server root is? If this is what I should be trying to do? [00:53] nightrid3r: how, in ubuntu, do i get a domain name, even a sub domain for now, for my website? [00:53] Anyone know if I can compile ubuntu for a cd from what is on my hard disk. [00:53] austin: no-ip.org [00:53] ActionParsnip: So, next then? [00:53] doumo: I think My xorg.conf is missed up.

[00:54] Hey guys, I need to remove any .svn directories inside of a directory tree... is there a quick way to do that? [00:54] austin you need a registrar like godaddy or co.cc and register your domain there and have it point to the outside ip [00:54] dean: will it work even if I am running from the live CD right now? [00:54] sebsebseb it is installed [00:54] it's a raid (/dev/md0 == /) [00:54] raylu: The tiny end partition is for Boot Booster, or some such thing. It's one of the stock partitions [00:54] Is "system restart" different than "session restart"? [00:54] if you edit the actual /boot/grub/menu.lst on your hard disk then yes [00:55] enau1289, proper use of the 'find' command can do that.. and No i dont know how exactluy [00:55] enau1289: find -name ".svn" -exec "rm -rf {} \;" [00:55] if you edit the one from the livecd than no [00:55] jwaldo: write the partitions to the disk and continue with the install [00:55] so am i supposed to reboot after i install these drivers ?

I usually around google and the ubuntu forums... but I don't really know how to search this problem. my localization or languages are a bit messy. (i've instaleld and used spanish, English, Chinese, etc). Some of my menus and apps still are the residual languages (I uninstalled all languages but english). How do I make it so all my apps and menues are back to just English? Thank you [01:04] hogwash: sweet your device is installed [01:04] kesi #dd-wrt should know [01:04] hogwash: just needs the connection configuring [01:04] hogwash: are you logged in as root?

I go to this channel so often :) [01:04] hogwash, have you tried "sudo dhclient wlan0" [01:04] Anyone know about xorg.conf please help. [01:04] Marfi, compile it from source. [01:04] same thing ZykoticK9 ... This machine went thru some repair shop and apparently their action trashed the linux partition something bad [01:04] ahh, i'll try that [01:04] Dr_willis: is there a .deb for it? [01:04] coreyman: is that one of the latest graphics cards from Nivida? [01:04] Dr_willis: and do I have to remove it first? [01:04] Marfi, No idea. check the program homepage? [01:05] hogwash: are you logged in as root? [01:05] zlr, still mentioning the NFS Stale? [01:05] coreyman: Xorg issues are common and a pain in the arse [01:05] Marfi, You could install it from source for a specific user. not system wide.

Ty. =) [01:05] sebsebseb I need DFP below CRT [01:05] but x locks up when i do that. [01:05] thinking .conf error. [01:06] 8600 GT is not a recent card. [01:06] I've tried downgrading X, and different nvidia drivers to no avail, so it leads me to think xorg.conf [01:06] coreyman: it's not a really old card either though? [01:06] right sebsebseb [01:07] coreyman: problems after you put on the propritary driver? before that things were ok? [01:07] ZykoticK9: at this point, i will advise to use photorec :/ [01:07] sebsebseb I dont think you can use dual monitors without the driver [01:07] zlr, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1060847&highlight=stale+nfs+file+handle for solution :) [01:07] sebsebseb i tried it [01:07] coreyman: oh freaking hell dual monitors as well hummmmm [01:08] coreyman: so you want the computer on two screens at the same time?

Apt-cache search for w32 only brings up mingw3. [01:08] sebsebseb mine isn't the same. [01:08] Hi, all. I usually around google and the ubuntu forums but I don't really know how to search this problem. My languages are a bit messy because some of my menus and apps still still have a mix of English and other languages (however, I uninstalled all languages but English). How can I reconfigure all my menus and applications back to pure English? Thank you. [01:09] pyrohotdog, its in the medibuntu repos [01:09] hmm, maybe gparted then ZykoticK9 [01:09] pyrohotdog: Because of legal issues. [01:09] sebsebseb it is fine until the toolbars load [01:09] pyrohotdog, you need to add the Medibuntu repo first [01:09] Dr_willis: how do I add them?

[01:18] safe to clear it im assuming [01:18] brb [01:18] stephenjudkins: have you ran sudo apt-get update [01:18] restarting x [01:19] ZykoticK9, usb port [01:19] ActionParsnip: It said it was through, and when Ubiquity runs on login it seems to want to do everything over (partitioning and whatnot). I'm guessing it's just because it's in the startup items [01:19] I just modified "/boot/grub/menu.lst" from the Live CD. When I try "sudo update-grub" it says there is no GRUB directory...

[01:22] sebsebseb: It used to be Ubuntu Eee, until Ubuntu got angry [01:22] jwaldo: on the other hand netbooks are aimed at noobs as well [01:22] sebsebseb: it is a bit silly [01:22] zach: 1.0, IIRC. Whatever's the latest stable version [01:23] jwaldo: ok [01:23] zach: yeah and some would say Ubuntu is a silly name, but yet, it is the most used Desktop Linux [01:23] sebsebseb: Funny, I thought they were aimed at folks who wanted a tiny computer [01:23] jwaldo: check the bootup options in bios as well as the options in the bootloader, make sure its not using the ubuntu iso as boot [01:23] jwaldo: sure, and ignorant computer users [01:23] jwaldo: or whatever [01:23] sebsebseb: this is true and i think that ubuntu is a great name for the os [01:24] zach: yeah I like the Ubuntu ideologey and all that [01:24] ActionParsnip: It'd be odd if it was, since I pulled out the SD card when prompted to, before restart === azrulsham33 is now known as KuSkin [01:25] zach: the circle of friends etc, the meaning of the name etc. and it could work to win some less technical people over [01:25] #/j #ubuntu-offtopic [01:25] niku: But I don't want my changes to menu.lst to be lost...

Mine is intermittent and disconnects as it pleases and is quite slow [01:26] sebsebseb: It seems every Linux distro I go for has a funny name. I just downloaded Mandriva, too [01:26] yeah that used to be called Mandrake which sounds better? [01:26] anyway this is off topic and I am in there again now as well [01:26] zach: Mine's been pretty strong.

[01:30] When the computer starts up it is fine [01:31] ckwalsh, you mean if you set up a wired ethernet in interfaces file, it switches to dynamic?! [01:31] Yes [01:31] So my x crashed. [01:31] ckwalsh never used static on graphical system, maybe it has to do with networkmanager overwriting stuff [01:31] If I execute sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart it goes back to static [01:31] hi everyone [01:32] nightrid3r, net manager is supposed to ignore a static address, it does here [01:32] !hi | dreamy [01:32] dreamy: Hi!

[01:35] dieselsmoke but i saw something like ps6 and other process ps1 .. ps2 [01:35] soemthing like that [01:35] when y put ps x [01:35] louis`: ps aux ..shows processes [01:36] Titan8990: the router u mean is the vista pc? (because i got another fisical router/modem) [01:36] louis`: netstat -tunap shows connections/ports [01:36] dieselsmoke i know but i saw some processes i dont what is i guess putty conections ts6 [01:37] TheGambler depends on what kind of script you use for the site [01:37] I'm swiching 2 computers, keeping only the hard drive and a few things. I know that the kernel wont fit the new computer as it's a 64bits and the new computer is only 32bits. How can I get a kernel installed right now before I swap the hard drives so that I can boot the new computer? [01:37] anyone know where i can find the gnome brave icon set [01:37] nightrid3r: let's say PHP 5 [01:37] (my 64bits computer will become a mediacenter) [01:38] Titan8990: i just dont dig well the part of how will info for the port 80 is passing by the VISTA (os) PC [01:38] So, any suggestions on what may be randomly reassigning my IP? [01:38] TheGambler i guess 1GB should work [01:38] louis``: you mean 'pts/0' ? [01:38] oh sweet; I'm too used to Windoze where 2 or 4 would be required lol [01:38] dreamy, I have no idea how vista could possibly route traffic [01:39] yes [01:39] dieselsmoke [01:39] dreamy, I doubt it is possible but I would as #windows [01:39] louis``: normal === FlareFlare is now known as Flare-laptop [01:39] what mean ? [01:39] okey [01:39] Hi, How do you manually read the partition table from the installer shell? [01:39] Please [01:39] nightrid3r: do you suppose 4GB would be good for a dedicated PostgreSQL box to back-end for 2 such web servers? [01:39] Depends on the size of the servers [01:39] dreamy vista will only route if one of the netcards has a routable (public) ip [01:39] And how much of a database they need [01:39] ckwalsh, That is the definition of DHCP, If you with, you can change it [01:40] Alex_21: I'd say no more than 300 GB and around 30 transactions per second [01:40] TheGambler should be enough [01:40] nightrid3r: sweet [01:40] nightrid3r: yes i discovered that yesterday lol ... i will start making the dhcp aftewareds. yes [01:40] TheGambler: No idea. Just general advice [01:40] Sorry [01:41] it will i mean [01:41] I appreciate it; I just need a rough idea [01:41] hey [01:41] louis``: pts = process tracking system, i think. [01:41] I need help using the partitioner on the install disk from the shell [01:41] Please [01:41] its just a wlan and a lan i got here [01:41] ? [01:41] How do you print the partition table? [01:42] Anyone know where I can download the gnome-brave icons [01:42] dreamy, I really don't understand why the linux server needs to pass through the vista box [01:42] I have a quick question. The main idea is watching the movie "hackers" off a BitTorrent download. I need mpeg codecs, they are required. Is there a package available somewhere? [01:42] Nevermind I found it if someone wants to know ask. [01:42] dreamy, why not connect it directly to your router? [01:42] what is windows vista/longhorn [01:42] Alex_21: sudo fdisk -l |lpr will send to printer [01:42] !codecs [01:42] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:43] Titan8990: im in my room .. so im getting internet without cable.. because i got no cable installed here [01:43] Okay, ty. [01:43] I don't need to send to a printer [01:43] Alex_21: sudo fdisk -l [01:43] !DHCP [01:43] dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP [01:43] hey guys, anyone here by any chance installed ubuntu 8.10 on VMWARE workstation? [01:43] Blast, longhorn was the pre release code name for a while [01:43] I have a shell open in the install cd and I want to know how my partitions are set up [01:43] dreamy, you can't run an ethernet cable into wherever your router is or install a wireless PCI card? [01:43] the desktop doesnt start up and it gives me permission denied when i try to "startx" [01:43] so vista would have been longhorn? [01:44] Blast yup [01:44] g0tcha, 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start' if you're running gnome (regular ubuntu) [01:44] Titan8990: well no.. the technician didnt made anything to be pluged here in my room [01:44] dreamy, it doesn't require a technician to run a wire.... [01:44] rdw200169, it is, ill test that out [01:44] How can I use sodu from the install disk? [01:44] Please [01:45] gotcha: VMware heh [01:45] Titan8990: but i dont want to put a wire from the room to the living room [01:45] g0tcha, you have to make sure, though, that there isn't already an X server running, or gdm. [01:45] gotcha: you got to make a vmx file for workstation as well? [01:45] dreamy, wireless PCI card.... [01:45] hey all. anyone know of an amazingly supported app for a virtual drive, like daemon tools, except in ubuntu [01:45] dreamy then use wireless [01:45] rdw200169, how can i make sure of that? [01:45] g0tcha, also, sometimes a restart works, or a stop/start [01:45] !mount [01:45] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [01:45] !iso [01:45] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [01:45] zgmf-x42s: see above [01:45] rdw200169, restart didnt work [01:45] sebsebseb, yeah, VMware [01:45] sebsebseb ? [01:46] why dosnt windows vista/longhorn work when i try to use it [01:46] g0tcha, ah, use the command 'ps -AF | grep X' [01:46] ah, pls dont write gotcha ;) [01:46] g0tcha, it will return 'grep X', you can ignore that, you're looking for something like '/usr/bin/X' [01:46] Thanks [01:46] A million [01:46] Blast cos vista sucks? [01:46] gotcha: well it depends on what you want to do exactly, but for a lot of people Virutualbox is better. well I haven't used workstation so when I say better I mean better than VMware player and server [01:46] Can anyone tell me why I can't connect via Remote Desktop to my ubuntu desktop? I can ssh to it no prob but I get a "connection closed" error when I use vinagre/Remote Desktop to connect to it. [01:46] exactly but the linux computer is a bit old and doenst has Wireless .. how ever the computer with vista has .. afterwards it shares trouhg lan to my linux [01:46] g0tcha, then, do the same thing w/gdm, i.e. 'ps -AF | grep gdm' [01:46] hi there [01:46] Blast, wrong channel. try ##windows [01:46] rdw200169, ok [01:46] MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder [01:46] XVID MPEG-4 decoder [01:46] damn [01:46] it [01:46] gotcha: also for servers Virtualbox isn't really the right one [01:46] what mean 4305 tty4 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty4 [01:46] Kraft: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[01:46] sebsebseb, i do use vbox :s [01:47] but vbox has a problem with freebsd [01:47] g0tcha, if either show up, make sure to kill them using the process number in the first column from the ps command output [01:47] gotcha: you can use your vmdk files in Virtualbox [01:47] so i went with vmware for now [01:47] g0tcha, i.e. 'kill [01:47] sebsebseb: thanks ill check it out. i need to mount the image, and then install win xp from iso into xVM [01:47] no when i chose ubuntu on start up it says ubuntu vista longhorn but that dont work [01:47] rdw200169, thanks will do [01:47] lol [01:47] hopefully it has a nice gui [01:47] g0tcha, and if that won't kill it: 'kill -9 ' [01:47] nightrid3r: im using the wireless thats rigth .. but not on linux.. [01:47] what mean 4305 tty4 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty4 [01:47] zgmf-x42s: no you dont need to mount it [01:47] zgmf-x42s: well you do in virtualbox [01:47] sebsebseb, vbox virtual harddisk file will load up wit VMware?! [01:47] zgmf-x42s: ,but in Ubuntu you don't need to [01:47] blast you could burn knoppix-std on a disc and then it would run when you re-boot.... than when u take the disc out it would go back to vista OS [01:48] g0tcha, have you *ever* gotten X to start correctly? [01:48] gotcha: yes exactly [01:48] sebseb [01:48] sebsebseb: well, yah, thats why i need something almost equivalent to daemon tools [01:48] dreamy plug the linux cable into the router [01:48] zgmf-x42s: just tell Virtualbox to use your XP ISO or CD [01:48] daemon tools is a good program [01:48] rdw200169, no, its still the first install in vmware and it didnt X didnt work at all [01:48] sebsebseb, wow! cool [01:48] you could try installing it with "wine" [01:48] zgmf-x42s: and you can use deamontools in your XP VM I think [01:48] i need to try that out [01:48] nightrid3r, its not use.... [01:48] nightrid3r: ok.. maybe.. [01:48] g0tcha, ah, you may need to check your x log, /var/log/Xorg.0.log [01:49] gotcha: indeed esapilly if you gott to make stupid vmx files for vmware [01:49] gotcha: virtualbox don't need some stupid vmx file to run vmdks [01:49] sebsebseb still wrong highlight [01:49] :( [01:50] how do you remount a read only NTFS volume booted in a Live CD environment as Read Only (mount & umount return "device busy")? [01:50] Hello. the link https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html does not help me much with partitioning manually with the shell. Can anyone help me to print an overview of the partitions on my system? [01:50] gotcha: what? [01:50] Please [01:50] you want to highlight g0tcha and not me [01:50] lol [01:50] sebsebseb: yah you can use daemon tool in virtual box, it works liek a charm. and yah it has to be from iso, cause this is an eee pc, and as such, no cd drive [01:50] Alex_21: ok you want help partitining your hard disk to install Ubuntu? [01:50] so many people are confused [01:51] zgmf-x42s: ok so get the ISO on Ubuntu, and then use Virtualbox and tell it to use the ISO [01:51] Yes [01:51] zgmf-x42s: by the way Virutalbox binary the PUEL the non OSE for USB suppourt [01:51] I'm using the shell === wolter_ is now known as wolter [01:51] zgmf-x42s: from their website http://www.virtualbox.org [01:51] I have a friend running Ubuntu 8.10 which is up to date and it has an ALi m5602 webcam....

I, though didn't mentioned it, was asking for the countdown [01:53] But unfortunately I forgot my partition layout [01:53] sebsebseb: yah i know, i made thhat mistake on my main computer a long time ago now. but ill see if this works, this is allllllllllll theoretical at this point [01:53] Alex_21: you can partition your hard disk graphicalley [01:53] hey sebsebseb [01:53] crx686 linksys support in linux is almost non existant [01:53] !gparted | Alex_21 [01:53] Alex_21: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program.

[01:59] opera: you can just use nano instead [02:00] dreamy you could run the webserver on port 8000 for example [02:00] nanotube, no [02:00] vinagree is for noobs :) I do VNC tunneld over SSH properly using commands and that [02:00] YOu can use one of Dyndns' services for forwarding ports [02:00] sebsebseb: what ana amzingly worthwhile comment that was [02:00] dreamy then use http://your.ip:8000 to reach it [02:01] nightrid3r: whould the client automaticly get there just by typing the adress ?

[02:01] opera, yeah, vim is rather... confusing... from the outset, if you're not interested in learning some of its... subtleties... nano is a good alternative, especially if you're only doing minor editing of config files (etc...)

But I'm not concerned about it with this comp. [02:02] :S okey [02:02] im human being..................lol.........

[02:03] Titan8990: you mean u dont like them ? .. regulations? [02:03] how do i remove ekiga softphone? [02:03] the isp regulations [02:03] How do you mount it [02:03] Kraft: ok, but that does not mean you know about cyber security, encryption and such [02:03] ekiga is pretty cool, skype is better though [02:03] dreamy, I hate the regulations but I am saying that I can't help you bypass them [02:03] nanotube, let me try rebooting.

[02:04] nanotube, how do I start this up?

Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [03:19] *is finished [03:19] i have taken all the nessary steps in my eyes but it keeps sayin connection refused in the log [03:19] Usually it is better to do it using sudo though and the admin group [03:19] narothepharoh, be more specific [03:19] Comrade-Sergei nameserver 192.168.2.1 <-- put in /etc/resolv.conf (addjust ip) [03:19] why is it called admin instead of wheel [03:19] fearful: i suppose ... might not be able to remove it though [03:20] dieselsmoke: Why is that better? [03:20] _VIM_: Figured out my vim problem [03:20] <_VIM_> what was it? [03:20] whitedoor, recent changes? bad HW? [03:20] nightrid3r, i did it didnt help, however there is a folder in there called resolvconf [03:20] white door,, i got the same rebooting with my another machine lol [03:20] leeroy, What game are you playing? [03:20] <[Tequila]> How do i mount a eCryptfs locked dir ? [03:20] armence: its easier than editting sudoers [03:20] commandos 2 with gamespy [03:20] _VIM_: If I run it with vim -X it starts up fine. It has something to do with the $DISPLAY setting [03:20] <_VIM_> ah [03:20] armence: make sure sudoers is chmod'd 440 too. [03:20] Cpudan80: this is going to remove pretty much my whole gnome [03:21] Cpudan80: :( [03:21] Comrade-Sergei weird, that was the contents of my resolv.conf and it works for me [03:21] sprinkmeier: if I do a rescue boot and type startx ... X works.. but if I boot normally the system locks after gdm starts [03:21] leeroy, Is there a master server for that game? [03:21] horndog, leeroy: please stay on topic (ubuntu support) [03:21] dieselsmoke: I already activated the root account though... [03:21] I'm trying to compile wine cvs, but i keep getting this error 'configure: error: FreeType development files not found. Fonts will not be built. Use the --without-freetype option if you really want this.' I'm noob, and have no idea how to get around this. Any help please? [03:21] can someone point me to some help with samba? When I try to mount homes through Nautilus, I get an error syaing Nautilus can't mount the share. [03:21] noits way to old for that it uses direct play [03:21] tritium: Are you an OP? [03:21] armence: it can be deactivated. [03:21] so next I disabled gdm and it still locks after the text login appears. [03:21] how do you change the enviroment editor from vim to something else? [03:21] whitedoor, what's your display resolution on the rescue boot? [03:21] in a shell [03:21] whitedoor: sounds like you see the desktop for 5 seconds? looks like some panel app or other auto-start things. Check out the autostarts (cant tell where you need to click, i just killed my ubuntu) [03:22] whitedoor, do you start X as root? is gdm configured for network logon? [03:22] I can get thre through smb:/server/username [03:22] whitedoor, are you using supported modes? [03:22] storbeck: why? [03:22] hi, on the network connections screen, how do i add a vpn connection? I am unable to as the add button is greyed out [03:22] yeah if I start X as root it will boot fine [03:22] tritium: I was curious about how I could become an op [03:22] !VPN [03:22] From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [03:22] dieselsmoke: how? [03:22] does the gksu nautilus feature work on kubuntu? [03:22] keres_: change environment variable [03:22] whitedoor, some service that only runs in multi-user mode? [03:22] hmw : gedit=http://pastebin.com/d48ce2728 firefox=http://pastebin.com/m17a54030 [03:22] nightrid3r, it will not go to the internet... [03:22] Pici: if I reinstall libperl5.10 will it reinstall all the programs it will automatically remove? [03:23] but even when I disable gdm and it boots to the text login screen... it locks about 5 seconds after the login appears [03:23] yeah dunno [03:23] nightrid3r, but it will go to the router [03:23] whitedoor, RAM use? maybe boot live CD and run memory check [03:23] this is ubuntu support [03:23] storbeck: you would be asked after a long period of continual contirbutions to the channel. You don't ask. [03:23] leeroy, Apparently firestarter is no on topic on this channel [03:23] dieselsmoke: yeah, from vim to gedit or something [03:23] I did that [03:23] ram was fine [03:23] leeroy, not [03:23] tritium: Sounds good [03:23] to me..what's the black list computers for my ubuntu os.. because at my initial loading my ubuntu advising me of such black list availability to my compuer althoug icould not peep it lol [03:23] leeroy another way is just to change the iptables , add the ports you need. [03:24] Nytrix: I want to make a cd with more than the usual 80 minutes worth of music [03:24] armence: passwd -l root [03:24] whitedoor, do you have a ~/.Xsession(s) file? [03:24] Anyone have much luck using ubuntu for streaming DV from a camcorder? I'm losing a bet because Windows, so far, is doing a better job. [03:24] ok thanks anyway and that can be an awkward task no ??? [03:24] whitedoor, restricted graphics drivers? (sorry, getting deperate here...) [03:24] as I said... X works. [03:24] nope,, Whitedoor, i checked my Xsession file..nothing written by me lol [03:25] leeroy, Good luck [03:25] nightrid3r, should i restart the interface? [03:25] thx [03:25] Comrade-Sergei could help yes [03:25] keres_: try this its easiest, sudo update-alternatives –config editor [03:25] whitedoor, log messages? does REISUB work? [03:25] narothepharoh, well u do know how to burn mp3s? [03:25] but do you ahve the Xsession file? [03:25] *have [03:25] can someone help me with my fairly miniscule problem [03:25] !ask | casinowarren [03:25] !ask | casinowarren [03:25] casinowarren: 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. :-) [03:25] whitedoor, what ver of ubuntu is this? [03:26] 8.10 [03:26] sprinkmeier: I won :P [03:26] I just installed it clean [03:26] whitedoor, is this a fresh install? [03:26] is there a package for beneath a steel sky for ubuntu? [03:26] hmmm [03:26] storbeck, not on my screen! (network latency?) [03:26] nightrid3r, how do i restart it, i cant just go up down as im connected via ssh [03:26] Hehe [03:26] keres_: you don't want gedit in a terminal, use vi, emacs, nano curses based editors [03:26] i'm trying to install my fonts on kubuntu...but don't have permissions [03:26] casinowarren: Use sudo [03:26] yeah fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 [03:26] narothepharoh, u want an mp3 only cd? [03:26] aint point single is the finale goal i thought lol [03:27] * _VIM_ stands behind dieselsmoke in that vote [03:27] Nytrix: I know how to burn a cd with the typical 80 minutes but yes all files are mp3 k3b just goes by time or something and i cant find any option to make mp3 cd only data [03:27] ok let me see if that works [03:27] Sorry if I'm butting in, but has anyone installed Ubuntu on MacBookAir,12? [03:27] as you can tell I'm in X and its working but I'm currently logged in as root from the rescue mode [03:27] Nytrix: brasero does mp3 burns well. [03:27] if I do the standard boot it locks [03:27] err, MacBookAir1,2* [03:27] narothepharoh, if you tell k3b you're burning an audoi CD it automatically 'extracts' the MP3s. Burn a data CD. [03:27] butting? [03:27] ecret: Hmm. there is some "Resource temporarily unavailable" - might indicate file system problems, but that's just a guess. Checking the file system shouldnt do any harm. Can you give me more of the output? [03:27] what is the right code? because i used nautilus [03:27] or is that the same one [03:28] Comrade-Sergei you'll lose connection anyway but sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 & should do it [03:28] whitedoor, can you check the xorg log file? it's probably in /var/log [03:28] just open cd and drag and drop mp3 files in there [03:28] using UPull computer with Ubuntu ? [03:28] Is there any reason that locate wouldn't search certain places? [03:28] <_VIM_> yep [03:28] I know I have these files but I cannot find them. :[ [03:28] casinowarren: What do you mean? [03:28] hello [03:28] <_VIM_> ohzie: sudo updatedb first and use sudo [03:28] _VIM_, tride that [03:28] tried* wow [03:28] I'm just blown away [03:29] ohzie: What are you looking for? [03:29] whitedoor, live CD? fresh 8.10 not working (except when X is running as root) is a new one for me. [03:29] A movie [03:29] <_VIM_> hmm that should work [03:29] why most referring only vim ? [03:29] anyone have a good sugestion for a 3d laucher? [03:29] ohzie: find / -type -f -name yourmovie [03:29] sprinkmeier: I tried to do to do that but it wont play in my car stereo and i have an mp3 cd i made from windows way back with like 200 songs on it and it works fine??? [03:29] in ubuntu i used alt+f2 and typed in gksu nautilus [03:29] to vim lol [03:29] For some reason, when I try to boot Ubuntu on MacBookAir1,2, the kernel doesn't quite get started. Things seem to crash after it tries to change video modes. The screen is black and the MacBook Air starts making scary beeping noises. [03:29] live CD wouldn't work at all [03:29] whitedoor, there should be a single file in /var/log called Xorg.0.log [03:29] nightrid3r, Comrade-Sergei use ; not &!! [03:29] so I installed it [03:29] and that opend my root permissions [03:29] not working on kubuntu [03:29] Pici: If I download perl-base5.10-11 and install that instead of -19 will it fix? [03:29] sprinkmeier, too late [03:29] yeah I found the log [03:30] scroll to the bottom of the logfile, whiteboor [03:30] *whitedoor [03:30] fearful: I don't know [03:30] sorry [03:30] heh [03:30] MSabino-ubuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:30] hmw: ok i will get the entire log [03:30] nightrid3r, Comrade-Sergei & means 'start these at the same time", you get a race condition. ; means "start one after another [03:30] heh [03:30] nightrid3r, nope still says "connect: network is unreachable" [03:30] yeah at the bottom of the log [03:30] anyone have a good sugestion for a 3d laucher for gnome? [03:30] no errors or anything [03:30] sprinkmeier, duly noted [03:30] oh [03:30] but I am in X atm so ... [03:30] i thought anytime the file of xorg.0.log should be erased by myself lol [03:30] whitedoor, live CD not working == HW does not like Ubuntu, no wonder it's acting up...... [03:31] ecret: wait a sec [03:31] whitedoor, look above it a couple times, and see if you see any failed attempts [03:31] Pici: will it be bad if I completely remove it? [03:31] irc.adjects.com [03:31] whitedoor, there should be certain string's that repeat over and over, like your display driver version string [03:31] Comrade-Sergei sounds like a routing problem, is the gateway ip the one of your modem [03:31] nightrid3r, however i can still obviously ssh in locally [03:31] nope [03:31] sprinkmeier: I tried to do to do that but it wont play in my car stereo and i have an mp3 cd i made from windows way back with like 200 songs on it and it works fine??? [03:31] whitedoor, once per startx attempt [03:31] nvidia [03:31] anyone have a good sugestion for a 3d laucher for gnome? [03:32] spill: What do you mean by 3d launcher? [03:32] nightrid3r, well theres a wireless router between them that acts as a wired switch as well [03:32] whitedoor, you're running X as root, not as user. [03:32] yes [03:32] <_VIM_> !repeat > spill [03:32] spill, please see my private message [03:32] I'm running X as root [03:32] and perhaps you can edit your xorg.conf with vim lol [03:32] _VIM_, I found it, it was on a usb hard drive [03:32] apparently updatedb doesn't look at those [03:32] >:| [03:32] what is a good portable MP3 player that is ubuntu "happy"? [03:32] narothepharoh, examine the mp3 CD, does it need a special format? heck, if windows works for you, use that :-) [03:32] ecret: i guess, youre getting the output by selecting the stuff in the terminal? if so, just type "-------------------" to mark the location, before using "ave as". [03:32] <_VIM_> udb123 haha [03:32] ohzie: Please do not confuse locate with find [03:32] storbeck, What's the difference? [03:33] <_VIM_> ohzie: glad you found it [03:33] hmw ok and yes i am copy pasting [03:33] storbeck: I hate that, I do it constantly, heh [03:33] ohh hi, i didnt know of your name being _VIM...sorry and hi [03:33] <_VIM_> hehe hiya :) [03:33] storbeck: I'm looking for an alternative to awn. [03:33] whitedoor, no error logs.. works as root but not user... sorry, I'm out if ideas/suggestions (other than change HW to something the live-CD likes) [03:34] <_VIM_> spill cairo-dock [03:34] <_VIM_> needs compiz though [03:34] ohzie: http://www.westwind.com/reference/OS-X/commandline/misc.html#locate [03:34] sprinkmeier: Dude I havent used windows in years just using it as an example in hopes that you would understand my question and have an answer so there is no need to be rude just tell me you dont know how to do that... Thanks anyway [03:34] <_VIM_> or some other compositing window manager [03:34] _VIM_: cool, I'll check it out, I'm runing compiz now anyways. [03:34] <_VIM_> spill you'll love it [03:34] "ACPI: failed to connect to the ACPI event daemon" [03:34] has anyone found a way of getting Kismet to work with an Intel 3945ABG card? [03:34] One more try: No one has a comment about my MacBookAir1,2 issue? Any idea where I can get help with my issue? [03:35] so does anybody know a way to burn a mp3 cd with more than the typical 80 minutes of songs? [03:35] narothepharoh: an mp3 CD should have way more than 80 minutes on it... [03:35] 80 minutes is like a standard audio CD. [03:35] <_VIM_> spill make sure you get the cairo themes though, the one by default is kinda plain [03:35] narothepharoh burn it as a data cd not as audio [03:35] narothepharoh: how are you burning? [03:35] test [03:36] Comrade-Sergei, working [03:36] narothepharoh, yes, burn it as a data cd. the problem seems to be that your car player cannot read/understand them, so maybe the question is "how do I format a data CD which happens to hold MP3's so that my car player can read it?" [03:36] _VIM_: k, thanks, screenshots look sweet. [03:36] cdm10: I am using k3b and yes i understand that [03:36] Comrade-Sergei, in the future, you can use !test [03:36] hmw : http://pastebin.com/m4f3a06a2 [03:36] !test | Comrade-Sergei [03:36] narothepharoh, burn as a data cd... just burn the files to disc as you would any other group of files... the mp3 player will find the files in the root of the cd, and play them [03:36] Comrade-Sergei: sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. [03:36] Titan8990: hey [03:36] fearful, hiya [03:36] has anyone found a way of getting Kismet to work with an Intel 3945ABG card? [03:37] ok sprinkmeier how do i do that?? [03:37] fearful, was helping you before I went to work, right? [03:37] narothepharoh, look at the MP3 CD you burns in windows and try to duplicate the format.

[03:54] mezquitale: If you would have actually read it, you would have seen this link http://www.muru.com/linux/omap/devices/ [03:54] RPS: yes [03:54] it makes more sense in the correct context [03:54] Does synaptics use aptitude or apt-get? [03:55] RPS: indeed, so the vboxusers group is a group of users who will have access to the virtualboxes [03:55] Absolute0: it uses libapt [03:55] oh [03:55] storbeck, sorry, i didnt have the patience for that, my phone just died today, i could never get it to work with ubuntu anyway, this time i am getting a phone that works with ubuntu so i never have to boot up to redmond ever again [03:55] RPS: you can either make that group its own group or use an existing group as specified by cat /etc/group from the terminal [03:55] crdlb: I've been told not to mix the two together [03:55] Absolute0: which two? [03:56] So I am curious what to use in the console to undo what synaptics did [03:56] crdlb: apt-get and aptitude [03:56] gaintsura, I'm lost bud [03:56] All three use libapt, apt-get, aptitude, synaptic [03:56] I would guess synaptic is closer to apt-get in behavior [03:57] but that's just a guess [03:57] Absolute0: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=7708 [03:58] hi, how do i fix alsa permissions?

[04:14] storbeck, anything thats apt-get [04:14] Comrade-Sergei: You said this is a new install, right? [04:15] narothepharoh - your question is in regard to stereo equipment and audio and we are in an OS troubleshooting forum [04:15] Comrade-Sergei: create a new file, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#Manually_add_repositories [04:15] storbeck, yes [04:15] tlchack5: whatever dude i ve been getting help here for years on all sorts of different issues [04:16] My taskbar/startbar I don't really know what it is called, but it disappeared so I can't get to my programs anymore, can someone please tell me how to bring this back?

[04:17] dieselsmoke, hi, yes i removed them but i cannot install them [04:17] narothepharoh - didnt mean to offend, just saying you might be able to get a more straitforward and correct answer in a more topic orriented channel [04:17] dieselsmoke, i cant seem to be able to install them they keep erroring out [04:18] Comrade-Sergei: I'm not on Ubuntu. See the link that dieselsmoke posted to you. It should help [04:18] Nick_Meister: can you run update and upgrade ok?

[04:19] armence: Add them to the sudoers list [04:19] I need to install IDLE on a linux platform that does not have internet, how do I go about doing this? [04:19] storbeck: How? [04:19] anyone having issues with jaunty and grub error 24? [04:19] dieselsmoke, one day my kde just went and removed itself for some reason when i tried to install koffice, and then it errors out every attempt i make at installing it [04:19] armence: sudo vi /etc/sudoers [04:19] armence: visudo or edit /etc/sudoers with your fav editor [04:19] dieselsmoke: Feel free to say: "I told you so" [04:19] My taskbar/startbar I don't really know what it is called, but it disappeared so I can't get to my programs anymore, can someone please tell me how to bring this back? [04:20] pieces - using gnome? [04:20] storbeck, i can update now [04:20] yow|5570, yeah [04:20] w00t Comrade-Sergei [04:20] pieces - do you have panels at the bottom or top or not at all anymore? [04:20] storbeck, still cant apt-get irssi [04:21] storbeck: OK, I have the file open, what lines should I modify? [04:21] yow|5570, none, I am lucky enough to have awn running though, and I can get to a terminal from that. [04:21] anyone know why i cant get my mic on my hp laptop to work with ubuntu ;( its a pavilion dv5 entertainment pc [04:21] pieces - try Alt-F2 and type gnome-panel [04:22] armence: You might want to read the man page for sudoers :) [04:23] yow|5570, says a panel already running... [04:23] anybody know how to install a program on a Linux platform without being connected to the internet? i need to be able to copy the install file to a flash drive then install from that. Any ideas? [04:23] yow|5570, says one is already running [04:23] pieces: killall -9 gnome-panel; gnome-panel [04:23] pieces - can you open a terminal? if so, type killall -9 gnome-panel [04:23] yeah i got a terminal open [04:23] bah thanks for stealing my thunder storbeck ;) [04:23] how do you open a terminal on X server from a ssh session? [04:24] Hehe yow|5570 [04:24] http://paste2.org/p/157928 - anyone has any idea? [04:24] storbeck: OK, here is me admitting to complete stupidity: I had the brilliant idea of making only "root" be able to "administer" the system. I did not realize the full implications of this at the time... I find myself unable to edit sudoers... [04:24] yow|5570, still says a panel is already running [04:25] armence: I don't follow. Root by default is the only administrator [04:25] any ideas anyone? [04:25] pieces - it might be counting awn as your panel, open a terminal and try killing awn also and then type killall -9 gnome-panel [04:25] You got your thunder back, yow|5570 :P [04:25] storbeck - we'll see ;) [04:26] yow|5570 - still says a panel is already running === Maahes_ is now known as Maahes [04:26] hi [04:26] google sucks, how do you set up firefox to use tor ? [04:26] sudobash: open a 'screen' [04:27] sudobash: just type screen from your ssh session [04:27] alright, imma try a dif approach... i have a windows vista laptop bridging its wifi connection to a crossover cable that i have plugged into a hub. I then have my Compaq running Ubuntu hooked up to the hub via a LAN cable but for some reason Ubuntu will not connect to the internet. what do i do? [04:28] pieces pieces - try switching to the default theme if you already arent using it [04:28] sudobash: ctrl+d to detach it, screen -r to re-attach [04:28] tlchack5: That sounds like a mess already [04:28] yow|5570, human? [04:28] sure pieces [04:28] yow|5570, nothing [04:28] brando753: open your volume control and double click on the volume icon on the panel.Then Edit>Preferences.Then make sure you have selected Microphone,Mic boost,Capture.Once you do this you can find new capture tab in the volume control panel.Here, make sure nothing is muted(no red x on microphone icon).In options tab make sure you selected Microphone as input source. [04:29] storbeck: it is a mess lol [04:29] pieces im gonna pm you with some links [04:29] storbeck:vista's networking is shit lol [04:29] yow|5570, ok [04:29] tlchack5: Lets try to keep the language kid friendly ;) You never know who's in here [04:29] storbeck: sorry, let it slip [04:30] strebeck: i let* [04:30] i dont want to be able to write to this terminal.... screen is for interfacing with the same terminal correct? I would just like to open a terminal and leave it up.... [04:30] without being about to bind to it [04:31] sudobash: screen will leave it up [04:31] Just run it in screen, then detach and exit [04:31] sudobash: what storbeck said [04:32] ok, so i think this has become a vista problem... anybody know how to bridge a connection properly? === Peddy1 is now known as Bill [04:33] upgraded to jaunty, seemed to go fine for a few days and updates and now grub gets error 24 (using converted ext3 to ext4 which worked fine after upgrade) any ideas? [04:33] sudobash, have you tried putting things in background inside terminal with ctrl+z (job control) ?? [04:33] anyone knows how to make a touchscreen POS work using ubuntu [04:33] n [04:34] sudobash, actually appending ampersand to a command will run it on background just fine [04:34] i just installed ubuntu and it doesn't repond [04:34] sudobash, all that while using bash at least [04:34] marsh, POS, point of sale? [04:34] yup POS hardware [04:34] lol a POS with Ubuntu, that's new [04:34] marsh, you need to set up touch screen. Hopefully you at least know the hardware [04:35] marsh, ok, I thought you meant something else. :) [04:35] n2diy: yes i know the model [04:35] storbeck, not new at all - i have ran regular debian on touch screened computer just fine. [04:35] marsh, ") [04:35] what i am trying to do is connect to my brothers linux via ssh and pop up a terminal on his x server to i can write to that terminal [04:35] i just got the ubuntu installed and since no mouse, and no touchscreen i can't do anything [04:36] Wrayth: there is no edit button, the mic keeps muting itself, there is no option tab ;( [04:36] help! [04:36] marsh, no mouse port to plug one into? [04:37] marsh: apt-cache search touchpad tpconfig looks promising, but googling or keep asking might be wise [04:37] sudobash, you can use talk or ytalk program, but your brother has to fire up the terminal by itself [04:37] itself = himself [04:37] yes only keyboard, trying to find usb mous now [04:37] I am experiencing a very peculiar phenomenon when using OpenGL to help render and display movies: all the colors are shifted around the color wheel (eg, red becomes blue, but white stays white). does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? my only workaround right now is to force VLC to not use OpenGL acceleration [04:37] dieselsmoke, do you play wit wvo? [04:37] well i have done this before I just forgot how to do it... I know has to be a way to start a terminal up on x so that you can send a message to it... [04:37] wit/with [04:38] dieselsmoke: thanks, doing right now. [04:38] marsh, touchscreen drivers are downloadable from manufacturers sites most likely [04:38] n2diy: wvo? never heard of it [04:38] ploom: yes but not on ubuntu [04:38] dieselsmoke, waste vegetable oil [04:38] marsh, even in ubuntu. good drivers have debian packages ready for downloading there [04:38] does windows drivers work on ubuntu? [04:39] n2diy: i wouldnt put that stuff in a 50,000 engine myself [04:39] my model.. Obvious Glaive RT-560 [04:39] marsh, usually there is no use from windows drivers on ubuntu (except certain parts of wireless drivers for example) [04:39] no where to find in my initial search [04:39] how do i ssh into a computer running off of the ubuntu livecd? [04:39] ehm - google? [04:39] I have ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD. I need to make a RAID0 using a LiveCD. Would there be any point to downloading 8.10? [04:40] dieselsmoke, 50,000 what? Dollars or miles? Haven't played with it myself, yet, but I'm looking at it. [04:40] IdentifyTarget: i know this is not answering your question, but in my opinion, raid0 is dangerous. [04:40] n2diy: $50,000 us dollar engine [04:40] yea yea [04:40] balrog__: you probably need to install openssh (sudo apt-get install openssh) on the compy running off the live CD. [04:41] dieselsmoke, Wow, think I could get half that for my VW Jetta? :) [04:41] what kind of Jetta? [04:42] IdentifyTarget, 86 diesel [04:42] SchighSchagh: agreed, and ive already done that. but when i try to ssh to the ip address of that comp (effectively as root), i am prompted for a password. anybody know what the livecd username is and its password? [04:42] how much do you want for it? [04:42] $50k US? [04:43] Stay on topic, please. [04:43] marsh, fanless touch-screen systems in general are like lego. lsusb is result is generally more usful, when you know that the touchscreen is connected to usb. otherwise it has dedicated com serial port [04:43] IdentifyTarget, 20,000 [04:43] you must not be in the US. Here a diesel that old would be < $5k US [04:43] IdentifyTarget: big trucks /end ot [04:43] balrog__: ah, right the password. try things such as "root" "toor" "ubuntu" "password", etc... [04:43] also, maybe you can use passwd to set the password to whatever you want? [04:43] got the internet to work by skipping the hub. what is the sudo command for installing the IDLE for python? [04:44] Is there any working alternative to watch move player streamed videos in Linux? [04:44] becuase im using and it doesnt seem to work [04:45] egaudet: alternative to what? [04:45] Hi I've tried to unzip a huge file and it failed (not enough disk space) but now my disk is full and I don't know how to fix that [04:45] SchighSchagh, sorry not alternative but workaround or something [04:45] marsh, windows driver might help when you have operated the pos under windows and then remembered to look for the touch screen connection method (usb or serial) and/or model. hope it helps. [04:45] (the disk is so full that I cannot even open thunderbird) [04:45] I would love to be able to watch some shows online and I do not have access to windows nor mac [04:45] tlchack5: apt-cache search idle or correct package name search python maybe [04:46] I've tried wine firefox but can't get the video working [04:46] yva: this might be a long way around but you could back up your files onto a flasdrive or other medium then reinstal linux wich should re-partition your drive and erase the incomplete data [04:46] egaudet: i watch hulu etc w/firefox [04:46] I am experiencing a very peculiar phenomenon when using OpenGL to help render and display movies: all the colors are shifted around the color wheel (eg, red becomes blue, but white stays white). does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? my only workaround right now is to force VLC to not use OpenGL acceleration [04:46] dieselsmoke: thank you, will try [04:46] This is a great place to go: www.ubuntuguide.org [04:46] dieselsmoke, cwtv? [04:47] egaudet: never tried cwtv, one sec [04:47] tlchack5: it should have another way to do, I really do not want to reinstall linux now [04:47] ploom: where do you think can i find debian drivers for touchscreen? [04:47] This is a great place to go: www.ubuntuguide.org [04:48] egaudet: cwtv.com works fine [04:48] yva: im sure there is another way.. but if you cant find one its a failsafe backup plan =P [04:48] could someone possibly help walk RPS along, he's in the right direction, but doesn't understand virtualbox for crap =) [04:48] dieselsmoke, are you running firefox under wine? [04:48] egaudet: firefox/hardy/ x86_64 [04:48] in fact if I got to / and try to see the size of all my dir I've got 7Gig while the disk is 14Gig and say it's full with df [04:49] egaudet: no wine [04:49] marsh, look for touch screen manufacturer. usually you will find drivers from their site. Otherwise you could contac the provider of the POS itself too [04:49] how is it possible that I do not see them? [04:49] rps, ok [04:49] any idea on open tty on Xserver? [04:49] dieselsmoke, that doesn't make sense their movie player is only for windows/mac [04:49] RPS, ? [04:49] I am experiencing a very peculiar phenomenon when using OpenGL to help render and display movies: all the colors are shifted around the color wheel (eg, red becomes blue, but white stays white). does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? my only workaround right now is to force VLC to not use OpenGL acceleration [04:49] I'm here [04:49] dieselsmoke: it doesnt respond to it acts like i didnt type anything [04:49] VirtualBox help go here: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#VirtualBox [04:50] egaudet: i'm watching it, want a screenshot? [04:50] subobash, what do you mean by open? [04:50] dieselsmoke, you are watching an episode? [04:50] ploom: they say they don't support linux they create for custom with a charge, i keep finding other solutions [04:50] tlchack5: try lowercase [04:50] or the ads/previews [04:50] http://cwtv.com/cw-video/reaper/full/?play=445-3787 [04:50] dieselsmoke: nope, same thing [04:51] nh [04:51] nnnhs [04:51] marsh, call tech support, there maybe some linux dudes there, that will help out? [04:51] what package is gnome keyring manager in? [04:51] egaudet: nope, guess it want ms windows for episodes [04:52] marsh, you just have to ask nice enough. in Taiwan for example they do not want to tell you the parts of their "lego" either, because once known anyone could make the same configuration on his/her own [04:52] hello. I found a bug where trying to generate a thumbnail for an SVG causes nautilus to crash (hardy, 32bit) and I was wondering if someone could tell me where I should report the bug, the gnome project, libsvg, and ubuntu bug reports all seem like good possible candidates [04:52] ! bug | miyako [04:52] miyako: 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 [04:53] Here's a great one...never used any sort of Linux before, installed Ubuntu Ibex 8.10 yesterday as much as anything just to play around with it...worked for three hours or so. Right up until I made the apparently horrible mistake of trying to install the recommended 177 drivers for my GeForce 6800GTs... been getting nothing but command prompt on boot since. As I don't know the commands yet, I'm reduced to rebooting, looking up a few to try, t [04:53] tlchack5: apt-cache search python |grep idle [04:53] thanks n2diy [04:53] Has anyone got Full episodes to stream on fox or cwtv? Stupid move networks, can't believe it's been over a year with no linux support [04:53] nobody have an idea? [04:53] miyako, thank you, for the bug report. [04:54] Tiron: hold on [04:54] nope [04:54] Tiron: nevermind [04:54] i am having trouble with program installations, anytime I try to install anything it causes an error that says the package (.deb) is not accessible; any help you guess can give? [04:55] dieselsmoke: nope.. and if i just do i get an insanely long list and none of wich are they IDLE [04:55] I can't get vpn working...... [04:55] hi all [04:55] I'm 600 miles away from home for the winter and I want to install XP in virtual box ...which version do guys think I should DL? there are plenty of options to choose from and I figure there may be a better choice. I can't remember what version I already have installed on the other partition (if that makes any difference) since I have never used it. [04:55] !version [04:55] marsh, the alternative for asking is just to "reverse engineer" the pos. So that you open it and see from inside (as the last resort). Usually windows drivers are enough to reveal driver manufacturer, ang there you can find linux versions too (at least in binary form, compiled against a certain version of kernel) [04:55] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [04:56] RPS, what version of VirtualBox or what version of windows? [04:56] windows [04:56] how do i automatically put a n/w up on startup..? [04:56] ** n/w interface [04:56] tlchack5: i get three idle hits, check your repo's [04:56] RPS, well, I know that SP2 works alright, i dunno about sp3, but i don't see why it, too, wouldn't work [04:57] ploom: i get you man, that gave me an idea, thanks a lot [04:57] darn. I'm lost as heck at this point, 'cause I'm frankly not sure what the problem even is...or how to find out, for that matter... I do know fiddling with the xorg.conf doesn't seem to affect it... [04:57] when I'm using command line, and I pipe user% foobar | pipetext.txt does that capture stderr also? [04:57] dieselsmoke: sorry im a noob to linux... how do i check repos? [04:57] I bought this laptop to run ubuntu only and it came with XP on it and I can;t remember if it is home or pro, but that should make a difference then? [04:57] ploom: i'll see if can still find a driver and then try you're idea which for sure will work [04:57] IdentifyTarget, no [04:58] hopefully [04:58] tlchack5: admin menu, software sources [04:58] I'll get it started ....the DL that is [04:58] what is the difference between "BENCHMARKs and BENCHMARK%"? [04:58] IdentifyTarget, have to do something like 2&>1 for stderr [04:58] Titan8990: would this capture stderr? foobr 2>&1 | text.txt [04:58] anyone knows? [04:58] IdentifyTarget, that looks right but I don't recall the exact syntax [04:59] ty [04:59] I'd just up and reinstall except I'm learning tons trying to fix the thing, heh... [04:59] IdentifyTarget, I actually had to do that a few days ago to pipe my stderr from a python script through less too..... [04:59] dieselsmoke: ok a window popped up. what am i looking for here?

[06:32] nanotube, will do === jimmygoon_ is now known as jimmygoon [06:33] anyone able to install touchkit driver here? driver used for POS touchscreen [06:33] is it even possible to change my username? [06:33] whenever I try to SSH into my ubuntu box i get "Connection closed by jimmygoon: Of course [06:34] Flannel, any tips? Googling keeps leading to articles saying its not possible [06:34] jimmygoon: "man usermod" [06:34] jimmygoon: usermod --login [06:34] Comrade-Sergei: have you examined the output of "ssh -vvv -l " [06:34] ? [06:35] jimmygoon: Do you care if your home folder is under the old username? If not, it's trivial. If so, it requires you to rename that folder (either from another user, or recovery console) [06:35] jimmygoon: but have to change homedir name manually after that.... [06:35] so no one has any experience with Vuze? [06:35] ectospasm, what should it be? [06:35] anyone here know why I wouldn't be given priveleges under phpmyadmin ? i'm trying to change my admin password yet it is telling me No Privileges to create alter or delete user info [06:35] Flannel, nanotube, I've got root so I can do that [06:35] jimmygoon: that'd be usermod -l (or --login) [06:35] Comrade-Sergei: that verbose output should give you more information as to why it's closing the connection. [06:36] Flannel: too late :) [06:36] also I am not loading an MCRYPT extension which I am clueless about [06:36] it just tells me that the new username doesn't exist? [06:36] do I have to create that user first? [06:36] jimmygoon: and then you move the homedir (as far as the user stuff is concerned) with -d (with -m) [06:36] jimmygoon: What syntax are you using? [06:37] logged in with user: "mickens" [06:37] usermod -l cole [06:37] ectospasm, its strange though, I can SSH in locally but not with my DDNS [06:37] how do i archive a folder across multiple DVDs? [06:37] ectospasm, and im 99% sure i did the port forwarding right [06:37] Comrade-Sergei: what interface is sshd listening on? [06:38] ectospasm, eth1 [06:38] it's not limiting connections to your LAN, is it? [06:38] meaning it closes the connection for stuff outside the LAN. [06:38] bah why can't I access my rkhunter.log ? [06:38] ectospasm, id assume it is, it will work on the LAN [06:39] ~: usermod -l cole -d cole [06:39] usermod: user cole does not exist [06:39] jimmygoon: usermod -l newlogin oldlogin [06:39] balrog__: tar might have an option to break it up into multiple chunks.... "man tar" for details... maybe "--multi-volume" is what you're looking for.... [06:39] Comrade-Sergei: I'd examine your sshd_config, but beyond that I don't know. [06:39] jimmygoon: then usermod -d /home/newlogin -m newlogin === omshanti is now known as omshanti- [06:39] How do I play .pls playlist files? [06:39] ectospasm, where is that id assume /etc/ssh_config right? [06:39] Flannel, "usermod: unable to lock password file" thank you very much, btw [06:39] Comrade-Sergei: /etc/ssh/sshd_config [06:40] omshanti-: audacious or xmms should be able to play those. [06:40] usually... [06:40] omshanti-: also amarok will play those files. [06:40] Dryice: you can with gksudo gedit /path/to/rkhunter.log [06:40] Flannel, duh, reran it as root [06:40] yah I got it [06:40] ectospasm, what should i be looking for in here [06:40] thanks [06:40] hey guys... anyone here using phpmyadmin ? i'm trying to mess with the password yet I cannot get phpmyadmin to accept my password and it will only accept the "nopassword" when using ubuntu programs such as the mysql query stuff ? ( rephrazed for better question understanding ??? ) [06:41] hehe thanks :) [06:41] Comrade-Sergei: this is where you need to consult "man sshd_config" [06:41] Flannel, how does the second command know to affect the oldlogin home folder? [06:41] jimmygoon: -m means move, so it should move. (well, it'll likely just rename the old foldername to the new one) [06:42] Flannel, okay, so I should re-visudo to make the username change in there as well? [06:42] ectospasm, but id be shooting blind, i havent the faintest idea of what im looking for here [06:42] jimmygoon: sudo doesn't use usernames. So, no you don't need to do that. [06:42] Comrade-Sergei: I can't help you if you're not willing to read the manual. [06:42] jimmygoon: At least, not by default. If you've made changes to sudoers, that's something you'll need to do, yes. [06:42] Flannel, but for granting a regular user access to sudo... I thought you had to add to it [06:42] ectospasm, words of an IT man [06:42] Has anyone experienced '/dev/shm/pulse-shm-2588455770' rkhunter gave me a warning on it [06:42] Flannel, yeah its a server install that came with a root account [06:42] jimmygoon: No, you add them to the admin group. [06:43] ectospasm, tr RTFM [06:43] What packages do I need to install for C++ development [06:43] SJrX: build-essential should do it. [06:43] !build-essential [06:43] Compiling software from source?

[06:44] ectospasm: For the record, that sort of view is not welcome here. If you don't know the answer, either look it up, or let somene else handle the issue. RTFM (and others like it) are not welcome, period. [06:44] how does a website know what version of flash im using?

[06:58] joejc: it can show you all the details of the requests that the browser sends out. [06:58] shams: depends on what software you use to make pdf... [06:59] would it be possible to spoof what it sends? [06:59] shams: and what settings you have as far as embedding info about yourself in it. [06:59] what happens if you type killserver in terminal [06:59] ? [06:59] joejc: Probably. This isn't really the best channel to be asking that in.

[07:03] yes but that didnt work [07:03] hippie: this is the best irc server ever - you don't need any other irc servers. :) [07:03] i think it says im moonlight and netflix doesnt like it [07:04] joejc: ah i see... hence your desire to change headers the browser sends. well, try firebug. if anything can do it, firebug can. [07:05] crdlb: I installed intrepid yesterday on a laptop and then it failed to boot (kernel panic). Turns out that modules ath_pci and ath_hal needed to be blacklisted. I am wondering why they were not blacklisted by default. [07:06] slytherin: because madwifi supports some chipsets that ath5k doesn't yet, I think [07:06] never heard of it causing a kernel panic though [07:07] whats DOM? [07:08] joejc: This is really offtopic for this channel. You might try #javascript? maybe something on irc.mozilla.org? I'm not really sure. [07:08] joejc: document object model [07:08] joejc: you could also try in #firefox [07:08] So I'm trying to figure out about these public and private key things... but I'm just not getting it. Does anyone have a few minutes to explain how they work to me? [07:09] Dextl: tried googling? [07:09] nanotube: yes, but everything is assuming I know something that I evidently dont [07:10] Dextl: heh. ic. so can you distill your point of misunderstanding somewhat? so that i know what to address? [07:10] what does -y option for sudo apt-get do? [07:10] illbeatu: says yes yo any questions [07:10] illbeatu: "man apt-get" [07:10] anyone able to install touchkit successfully? [07:10] nanotube, I need the undernet server, as it is there all my friends are ;) [07:11] illbeatu: it willalso uninstall packages if they get in the way of the package being installed [07:11] o [07:11] nanotube: all I really know about keys is that they are used for security/encryption reasons and that I need one so I can set up a vpn with my friend. I don't really get how to make them and how they work exactly [07:11] hippie: heh well... sorry? :) [07:11] nanotube: I made a private key, but I dont know how I get a public key out of it [07:11] nanotube, yeah - guess I have to wait till I come home ;) [07:11] crdlb: are backport-modules package installed by default? [07:12] Dextl: openpgp? [07:12] nanotube: I do not know what that is [07:12] slytherin: no, but it's on the CD [07:12] Dextl: what did you use to create the key? [07:13] Is there something that would compare to K9copy for GNOME ? [07:13] nanotube: ssh [07:13] doesn't sshd generate the keypair? [07:13] Dextl: ah ok, so you created the key, and saved it where? in ~/.ssh, ? [07:13] hippie: yea, it generates both [07:13] nanotube: hey deactivating all plugins and reactivating as well as uninstalling no more needed and not upgradable (3.0.6) ;) that fixed it [07:14] I'm trying the xDVDShrink program === aa is now known as Guest62770 [07:14] Doesn't seem too promising [07:14] Flannel, is it possible that moving my home dir messed up my ssh keys [07:14] nanotube: I saved it wherever it saved it by default. I think that is it [07:14] TheMoop: what does k9copy do? [07:14] slytherin, backs up DVDs [07:14] TheMoop: why not just use k9copy? it works on gnome too, you know. [07:14] nanotube, Yes, but it runs slow [07:15] TheMoop: hrm, slow comp? i don't notice kde apps being slow on my gnome de... [07:15] nanotube, 1.8 GHz dual core [07:15] 2 GBs of RAM [07:15] Dextl: well, ssh generates both keys, public and private, at the same time. so wherever you saved the private key, the public key should be sitting right next to it there. [07:15] 500 GB HD , 128 video card (don't play many games) [07:15] TheMoop: have you tried dvd95? [07:16] slytherin, No, never heard of it [07:16] nanotube: ah, I see. so if I go open the document it will be there. That is neat. Thank you. === Guest98985 is now known as magic_ninja1 [07:16] Dextl: so look in your ~/.ssh directory, you'll see something like "id_rsa", and "id_rsa.pub". the second one is the public key [07:16] TheMoop: I have only heard of it. never used. It's in repos [07:17] slytherin: sounds like windows95.... :) [07:17] Dextl: so you found it? :) [07:17] <3 k9copy [07:18] !info mencoder [07:18] mencoder (source: mplayer): MPlayer's Movie Encoder.

[07:19] Dextl: what are you trying to open it /with/? it's a plain text file... so you can just look at it with "more" from the cli, or "gedit" if you like gui... [07:19] Dykam: how are you trying to run it, and where is it located? [07:19] /opt/flexsdk [07:19] I have set the chmod like: [07:19] -rwxr-xr-x 1 [07:20] Dykam: so what happens when you run "/opt/flexsdk" from the cli? [07:20] nanotube: snap. I got it open. but now its just a bunch of gibberish... how do I tell what part is the public key? [07:20] whats a good size for the boot partition [07:20] wait, it is in a sub-subfolder in /flexsdk [07:20] fuck [07:20] /opt/flexsdk/runtimes/player/10/lnx/flashplayer [07:20] !language [07:20] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:21] Dextl: the whole thing is the key. and it's /supposed/ to look like a bunch of gibberish :) [07:21] jjj [07:21] if I run it, it says it doesn't find the command, also no autocompletion using tab [07:21] i have a problem using SCIM, i can just enter chinese characters in office and firefox but not in other programs like anki (which is a flashcard prog). I have to write the characters using office and then copy&paste them into other programs [07:21] hai guyz. . . . [07:21] Dykam: you must be mistyping the dirnames... [07:21] <|Azzco|> Hi, I'm trying to set Alt+Right click to rezise windows in compiz. but it just defaults to showing the menu. How do I get rid of this behavior? [07:21] Dykam: otherwise there would be autocompletion :) [07:21] I'm in the dir [07:21] nanotube: well then. I feel like I now know a little bit more then I did before. I dont suppose you could tell me a bit about this signing thing? [07:21] and typing flashplayer [07:21] can't be the problem [07:22] hmm [07:22] ./flashplayer does work [07:22] use ./name [07:22] Dykam: are you typing "./flashplayer" maybe? :) [07:22] where's the girls???? [07:22] why doesn't it work without.. [07:22] Dykam: ah there it is :) [07:22] because that dir is not in your default search path [07:22] Dykam: so the shell doesn't look for executables there by default. === |Azzco| is now known as Azzco [07:22] but I'm right in that dir... must be a difference with windows [07:22] Dykam: if you add "." to your PATH it will. but that's generally not a great idea. [07:23] hehe [07:23] Dykam: so that's not in there by default. === CaTeYe is now known as cateye [07:23] Dykam: and the shell only does exactly what you tell it to. so "." isn't there, so it won't look there. :) [07:23] and why does this not work: "flashplayer=/opt/flexsdk/runtimes/player/10/lnx/flashplayer" [07:23] coughcoughchmod +x coughcough [07:23] Kartagis, not? [07:24] already done '¬¬ [07:24] Dextl: well, encryption works as follows: you encrypt with someone's public key, send it to them, and only they can decrypt it because only they have the private key [07:24] export flashplayer=/opt/flexsdk/runtimes/player/10/lnx/flashplayer -> doesn't allow me to use flashplayer as a command [07:25] slytherin, It seems to be working okie dokey, I'll let it go and see what happens [07:25] Dextl: signing works in reverse. person encrypts something with their /private/ key, which can only be decrypted with a public key. so, then if you can decrypt something with that person's public key, than means that whoever sent it had access to the private key - and therefore, is the person in question. so it's a form of identity checking. [07:25] hello [07:25] anyone able to install touchkit successfully? [07:25] i need to install one on a POS device [07:26] Dykam: export is not for that purpose ,specify in *path* [07:26] bindaas, but is only for one executable [07:26] If that's the only way, I'll do it [07:26] nanotube: allright... allright.. that all makes sense. but what about this thing I always hear about with people signing each other's keys and whatnot? === anii is now known as aniiena [07:27] how do you archive a folder and split it into 700MB-size chunks? [07:27] thanks bindaas and nanotube, it does work now [07:28] my ubuntu has become too slow from yesterday, all windows and programs open too slowly also firefox opens pages slow?how to restore? [07:28] Dykam: cheers :) [07:28] big favor [07:28] Dykam: if you want an alias, use "alias flashplayer=/opt/blablabla". [07:28] nanotube, ah, alias, thanks [07:28] Dykam: but really the standard thing is to just append that dir to your PATH [07:28] i cleaned temp and removed wine, then too no effect in performance and speed [07:28] ok [07:28] can someone make a binary installer for me of this driver... http://www.touchkit.com/Drivers.htm [07:28] Dextl: that's about the web of trust :) [07:28] click on ubuntu / debian [07:29] whats easier to setup on a dedicated server Debain or Ubuntun? [07:29] should libflashsupport cause firefox to crash? Flash sites almost always make it crash, now but without it, I get no sound in flash. [07:29] how do i restart my sound server its stuck in a loop after playing chronium [07:30] !sound [07:30] 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 [07:30] Dextl: say you have a public key which claims to be from john doe? how do you know it really is him, and not bob? well, if there's a chain of trust from you to johndoes key, then you can know. say, you know mike, who knows kevin, who knows john. so kevin signs john's key to certify that he knows john and that this is really his key. then mike signs kevins key, and mike you know personally. so thus, a chain of trust is established from yo [07:30] u to john. [07:30] can't establish a network connection, hardware seems fine, it just can [07:30] t get ip from dhcp [07:30] or, If I was going to reinstall flash and have sound supports, what should I uninstall and then install? [07:31] my ubuntu has become too slow from yesterday, all windows and programs open too slowly also firefox opens pages slow?how to restore?any one please help [07:31] nanotube: that is just about the coolest thing ever. I like ubuntu. it makes me like computers again. [07:32] haha [07:32] ubuntu is awesome [07:32] Dextl: glad to brighten your day :) [07:32] nanotube: thank you. and thank you again for answering my questions [07:32] Dextl: even cooler: there are such things as "key signing parties", where people get together, hang out, and sign each other's public keys. :) [07:32] Dextl: no prob. :) [07:33] Does anyone get sound in flash without libflashsupport? [07:33] I was having issues for about a month cause i had no clue what i was doing tryin to mount a phone ,I reinstalled and gave it another shot did nothing and now it works halfway [07:33] SpinachHead: I do. It works out of the box for me :/ [07:33] nanotube: I read xkcd, so I knew about those... but I never understood that concept until right now [07:33] which packaget rww? [07:33] SpinachHead: flashplugin-nonfree. I think I'm just lucky with it. [07:34] Dextl: yea, xkcd rocks! :) (for the most part... it's kind of a letdown when he just does something randomly weird and not really geeky... ) [07:34] it used to work, but then the sound stopped working so I installed libflashsupport which I guess fixes the pulseaudio sound problems, but now it crashes firefox like every other flash movie [07:34] if there is anyone with a spare moment could they pm please, i have a few questions about a dedicated server, and getting it setup correctly [07:35] can anyone suggest the term to search for or give me a link so I can set permissions on a usb flash drive to make it read/write [07:35] nanotube: true. I know certain parties wern't exactly a fan of Monday's comic... but for the most part its pretty much the best strip on the net. [07:35] so adobe-flashplugin is the same as flash-plugin nonfree? [07:35] Dextl: speaking of which... i'll go check out what's new on xkcd. :) [07:36] nanotube: well snap, it is technically wendsday today [07:36] dj_: sudo chown -R yourusername /path/to/mountpoint [07:37] Anyone know how to add scripts to here? [07:37] any one who can help me establish a connection to dhcp to get assigned and ip (on private network) [07:37] Spacin: What do you mean? [07:37] I installed XFCE to try it out. Then I came back to KDE, and now my OpenOffice is all ugly, seems like it uses XFCE's graphical renderer! The icons have been changed too, for those from XFCE (circle with bird) [07:37] now I have removed all the XFCE packages (checked all packages in history), but openoffice didn't come back to normal... [07:37] burcyril10: dhclient [07:37] I've tried many times to add a script to another server in xchat. And I can't figure it out [07:37] It just will not load a script [07:37] thanks rww [07:37] where can i get an iso of 8.04, pre-8.04.1 ? [07:38] Dextl: indeed it is. :) [07:38] kc8pxy: umm. 8.04.1 is just 8.04 with updates that you'd get through apt-get anyway, you know. Any particular reason you need one? [07:38] wartalker: please explain to me process a little - switch between the two computers is slow [07:38] hi - anyone knows which ports are typically used by pidgin (for msn, gtalk, aim)? [07:39] can someone point me in the direction of a howto setup a swap file on my sd card on the eeepc running ubuntu 8.10 thx [07:40] Any ideas..? [07:40] What would cause munin to suddenly not allow telnet into the port 4949? [07:40] All other ports work fine. [07:40] and munin allows telnet from localhost... [07:40] but not from any remote host. === i3d is now known as i3d|x [07:40] Spacin: hrm,,, try in #xchat, maybe? [07:40] ok.. thank you [07:41] rww: I'm trying to setup an approx server, with as many updates to 8.04 as possible. if i install an 8.04 pre-update, approx will cache them all, am i right? in that right, older is better :) [07:42] Can some one tell me what is the safe way to partition my hard drive On Unbuntu with out any error's [07:42] ....Oh well. Seems no one's in there that's talking [07:42] Diesel: do you have another os on the drive? [07:42] kc8pxy, no [07:43] kc8pxy: I don't understand what you're doing, but: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04.0/ [07:43] kc8pxy, Im gong to in stalll Bt and Ubuntu Ubuntu is running [07:43] Diesel: then my pick would be to let the installer use guided, use entire disk :) [07:44] hello, does anybody know howto mount a ext3 virtualbox expanding image? [07:44] hi. i'm having a crash with evince on intrepid [07:44] kc8pxy, Ubuntu is running now , Backtrack is what Im working to make room for [07:45] Just dont want to make a mistake on partitioning [07:45] i get "evince: /build/buildd/cairo-1.8.0/src/cairo-xlib-surface.c:934: _draw_image_surface: Assersion `ret != 0' failed."

[07:47] I have been trying to pair a gps tracker with a code of 000 [07:47] croppa: sure, when you pair it, use that code [07:48] ActionParsnip: I wish it was that simple :-) [07:48] lacqui: Looks like it's reported already but doesn't have a resolution yet: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcairo/+bug/296701 [07:49] In Intrepid you dont get the oppertunity to use a fixed code [07:49] croppa: theres a conf file where you can specify a code to always use but it willbe used for other stuff to so itsnot secure unless you set that you have to manually accept all data sent [07:49] croppa: or just change it while you pair that one device, then switch back [07:50] ActionParsnip: where is that config file [07:50] kr.hanirc.org [07:50] r= [07:50] 오노 [07:51] croppa: try: gksudo gedit /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf [07:52] croppa: you may need to restart a bluetooth daemon to apply the setting [07:53] ActionParsnip: ther is no /ect/bluetooth/hcid.conf file there to start with === cateye is now known as CaTeYe [07:54] croppa: fine: sudo find -name *.conf | grep ^hc [07:54] v.v anyone willing to help me with loading a script?
