[00:03] Mox`, sudo is to run a command or program as root, root runs everything as root [00:03] [00:03] !root [00:03] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:03] Mox`: sudo is also a lot more flexible [00:03] Im trying to get aircrack-ng working [00:03] Daft_Punk I know, but why should I use sudo and not just a user which can access root? [00:03] But don't understand how to use it... [00:03] Mox`: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Advantages and Disadvantages [00:03] Daft_Punk root logs you in to root [00:03] sudo gives root privlages [00:04] Mox`, because it is a major security risk and you can mess up the system, also, logging in as root changes your home directory file permissions [00:04] elitecoder: enable your repositories, in synaptic, settings, repositories. under a server scenario edit /etc/apt/sources.list [00:04] zerkoH: not sure if help for that one is alloweed in here, since you could use it to get into other peoples insecure wireless networks [00:04] newbie-> installing new ubuntu server, up to partitioning chose tit automattically came up with only 2 partitions (1 as etc3, and the other as swap (no sizes)), should I do it manually and create other partitions?

I want all programs to use the USB headset now that I have plugged it in. is there an option somewhere to make this happen that involves plain and simple changing settings in the preferences, and not installing random packages or editing config files? [00:40] funkeymunkey - All right, that's all good. Let me explain something here while we're at it. The use of .mp3 file formats and other video/audio formats are licensed due to the blood sucking higher ups that need to make money off of everything they can. Windows has to pay royalty fees to having supported mp3 formats and other various video/audio codecs out of the box. === Acidic is now known as Acidictadpole [00:40] RoastedTiresX: here here === KiiMuRa_Away is now known as KiiMuRa [00:41] RoastedTiresX: well, that's no fun=/ [00:41] funkeymunkey - Ubuntu on the other hand is different. Ubuntu comes prepackaged WITHOUT video/audio support so Ubuntu can be "legally" licensed as free and open source software in the United States. But the trick is, Ubuntu is an OS used globally. So everybody on the globe can download the same version of Ubuntu, with the exception of language changes, and then add the video/audio codecs on top of it. [00:41] funkeymunkey - I'm going to help you via PM so I don't get banned for this again, since I routinely get banned from the Ubuntu channel here for ridiculous reasons.

How can I install the "8.28.8" version of the FGLRX drivers, which were the last release to support my video card, within Ubuntu Hardy Heron [01:11] vista games wouldn't have any clue what to do with all the extra resources === mib_pryifif0 is now known as SushiFtW [01:12] why is ubottu talking to me? [01:12] mezy: because it was told to send you a factoid [01:13] ahh, sounds disgusting, but ok [01:13] so I installed the ubuntu netbook remix a while back and disabled it after disliking the new home screen. After a reboot, however, I noticed that apps seem to start maximized and there are no title bars... does anyone know how to undo this? I'm assuming it's a preference set somewhere. [01:13] hey , i have a question, have any of you guys got the huawei E160G modem working?? [01:14] yo yo yo [01:14] niku, is desktop effects enabled by chance? [01:14] yo [01:14] hey , i have a question, have any of you guys got the huawei E160G modem working?? [01:15] Darkchef: what chip does lspci / lsusb say it is? [01:15] actionparsnip: im dont know, im not in linux at the moment [01:16] my ubuntu is free internet. I typed the command: modprobe-l | grep-i rt73. [01:16] / lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/drives/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt73USB.ko [01:16] sudo gedit / etc / modules [01:16] and add a new line at the end of the file: [01:16] rt73USB [01:16] crim3_b0y: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:16] save the file, and restart ubuntu [01:16] Darkchef: the chip is important, what is printed on the case is moot [01:16] i [01:16] i [01:16] i [01:16] bond`lappy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:16] Anacranom, no they're disabled [01:16] actionparsnip: what do you mean by moot? [01:16] Darkchef: moot = not important [01:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/126523/ [01:16] Darkchef: moot == meaningless [01:17] Darkchef: run lspci and lsusb and you will get an output that identifys the device [01:17] actionparsnip: right ok, so what steps should i take in order to get it to work ? [01:17] actionparsnip: i see [01:17] evening folks [01:17] Darkchef: you can then use this information to websearch its config [01:17] i need help to get xserver to start, i just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10. the laptop is an inspiron 9400 with a ati x1400 gcard. it loads up but when the login screen usualy comes up the monitor shuts down [01:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/126523/ who quem help me ?? [01:18] anyone here use kaffeine? I need to know how to change the default skin/theme? [01:18] lets say I want to install ubuntu on a freind's comp, but he does not have internet access. how do I go about providing him with repos ? is there a set of cd/dvd somewhere that contains the completes repos I can download and burn for him ? === elpargo__ is now known as elpargo [01:19] I have sshed into my ubuntu box and am attempting to start x11vnc, I get the message X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) along with a major and a minor opcode of the bad request. any idea how I can start x11vnc from my ssh session to see my logged in session? [01:19] cjae, try asking in #kubuntu [01:20] actionparsnip: right i get it, so would using an older version of the distro still bring up the info i need? [01:20] Pelo: did and #kde and #kaffeine and #kde [01:20] poh, im not sure thats entirely doable.. gnome has its own 'share the current desktop' feature in 'vino' You can enable vino and make it always be enabled when you login to gnome.. OR you could create a 'new' gnome session that is basicially hidden, and only accessable via vnc. [01:20] hi. my firefox buttons (back,foward,stop) are greyed out. i uninstalled firefox. how do i get rid of all settings so i can fix? [01:21] Pelo: and searched both google (and linux) can only find the skins [01:21] cjae, try looking around in the pref sub menu in kaffeine, you can probably drag-drop your themefile in the ~/.kaffeine/ folder or some subfolder there of [01:21] Pelo: you could try aptoncd APTonCD [01:21] Pelo: the complete repo is _way_ too big, but I think there's a DVD with more than the CD [01:21] ogre: try renaming ~/.mozilla [01:22] no camera found "error message" f [01:22] crdlb, yeah I know about the dvd, but that's just main and multiverse I beleive, I was looking for the other mains repos as well , possilby [01:22] crim3_b0y: seems pretty concise, just use gksudo gedit instead of sudo gedit [01:22] my webcam logitech 5,000 pro [01:22] Pelo: you mean restricted? I doubt it would include multiverse [01:22] I have 2 PATA IDE hard drives from previous windows systems that the wife would like to be able to access from her shiny new laptop. What distro should I use to setup a system to just share those NTFS drives? Preferably booting from a 64MB compact flash card. [01:22] redvamp128, apt on cd is nice but it would be problematic in this instance, but thanks for hte recommendation [01:22] how come it not work ? [01:23] !webcam | taz_ [01:23] taz_: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [01:23] Pelo: so far I have found these two sites Ubuntu -- Ubuntu Packages Search and Medibuntu -- Medibuntu packages [01:23] crdlb, probably, it's been a while , I'm probably comfused a bit but you get what I mean [01:23] ok [01:23] Dr_willis: I'm actually using xmonad :(, and I know that I can make it always on there too, I just haven't. [01:23] redvamp128, I'll check those out [01:24] ActionParsnip have solution ? [01:24] crim3_b0y: follow what you pastebinned if that is known to work [01:24] Pelo: that is not just a search but where you can download the deb- though pay attention to the dependencies -- you may want to grab them while you are there-- [01:24] poh, neer heard of that one. :) i tend to ssh in, run vnc4server, or some other vncserver, then run a vncclient. I dont normally share the 'current' desktop.. because well.. I ssh into my headless servers. and use vnc that way [01:25] Dr_willis: just use pure ssh, be a man :D [01:25] redvamp128, that's my concern, since this is for a freind, I'm not sure what he might want hence me looking for some "repos-on-cd/dvd" solution [01:25] ActionParsnip, or i use xdmcp and xming :) [01:26] Dr_willis: gui is for big girl pants :D:D:D [01:27] ActionParsnip: do you know if the httpd opens automaticly the 80 port in linux? [01:27] in ubuntu i mean [01:28] dreamy: it will as long as /etc/httpd.conf says so [01:28] Dr_willis: j/k man, love you really [01:28] after netstat reports has listening .. will mean is open [01:28] ActionParsnip, :) dont make my wife jelous [01:28] ? [01:29] * Pelo sees what happens when he stays away for 12 months, he gets replaced by another smart-mouth [01:30] ActionParsnip: when netstat mentions about a port has "listening" does that means its open in the firewall ? [01:30] dreamy: a services can be listening but the firewall could block the incoming connection [01:30] !find [01:30] k :S [01:30] Search for a package or a file: !find [01:31] ActionParsnip: is there any conf file for the firewall ? [01:31] opera, what are you looking for ? [01:31] i can't how to use "find' command. can you give me a example? [01:32] <_VIM_> this isn't a warez channel [01:32] opera, there is not find command in this channel [01:32] opera, you can try !keyword [01:32] what's the proper channel to discuss about jaunty bugs? [01:32] dreamy: depends what firewall you use [01:33] actionparsnip: it says its the huawei e220 hsdpa modem [01:33] quentin, #ubuntu+1 [01:33] ActionParsnip: lol.. no idea.. [01:33] actionparsnip: what now? [01:33] opera: find / -name *.png will show all png files on the system [01:33] The find command is quite helpful and can be used for many purposes, such as [01:33] before or during backup operations. [01:33] locate .png -> may be faster/better :) if your database is up to date [01:33] Pelo: thank you [01:34] dreamy, the default firewall in ubuntu is netfilter, it is controled by the userspace app iptable, type man iptable for instructions [01:34] Darkchef1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=262867 [01:34] dreamy, make that iptables === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [01:34] Pelo: iptable .. that command on the terminal willl give me power to open ports? [01:34] opera: you can use find in conjunction with exec to make a command fire on nthe file [01:34] opera: e.g [01:35] dreamy, yes it will , man iptables for the options and how to use it [01:35] I have 2 PATA IDE hard drives from previous windows systems that the wife would like to be able to access from her shiny new laptop. What distro should I use to setup a system to just share those NTFS drives? Preferably booting from a 64MB compact flash card. [01:35] Pelo: k. thaks.. [01:35] opera: mkdir ~/pics; find / -name "*.png" -exec cp {} ~/pics \; [01:35] dreamy, by default it's not activated I beleive but I'm not all that knowledgable about it [01:35] opera: will find every png and copy it to ~/pics [01:36] Pelo: okey.. cool [01:36] thank you ,ACT_ [01:36] RedLance, 64mb ? damn small linux I guess but not sure about ntfs support in there [01:37] Pelo: but its possible that apache opened my port atomaticly rigth? [01:37] Pelo: Yeah, I thought FreeNAS would be perfect, till I saw no NTFS support [01:37] dreamy, you should ask that in #apache [01:37] okey [01:37] RedLance, might want to inquire in #dsl [01:38] Pelo: Thanks [01:38] dreamy, as far as I know , you should not have to open any port in a default config of ubuntu, nothing is blocked by default [01:38] opera: make some test files and play, find and exec will give you massive power [01:39] Pelo: okey [01:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/126523/ who quem help me ?? [01:41] Pelo: then what about the result of a portscan at the local host.. its shows almost nothing [01:41] oh my god why is the e220 so difficult to set up, i thought 3g ran out of the box for the new version ! [01:42] dreamy, hidden and blocked are two different things , but again, not realy a firewall / port guru [01:42] ok pelo [01:42] dreamy, #networking might have some info for you as well [01:42] nice channel .. thanks [01:42] hiden.. insterresting.. [01:43] hey can anyone tell how i can schedule my system to shut down after some amount of time [01:43] hey can anyone tell how i can schedule my system to shut down after some amount of time without manual shutdown [01:43] DarkKnight: Use Cron [01:44] crim3_b0y[out]: what more do you need, those are exectly what you need to do step by step [01:44] dreamy, hidden might not be the correct term, stelth mode possibly [01:44] Pelo: cool [01:44] DarkKnight: the shutdown command can do that, see its man page [01:44] crim3_b0y[out]: how can we elaborate on that? [01:45] Pelo: iptable will work with steathy ports too etc etc ? [01:45] DarkKnight, sudo shutdown +m ( where m is the number of minutes ) [01:45] dreamy, shoud [01:45] errno 5 I/O error, means what? [01:46] hi guys, i'm trying to upgrade Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10, I have Dialup. So i got a friend to download the iso Ubuntu-8.10-alternate-amd64.iso for me, I have it here on the desktop, so then i run "sudo mount -o loop /home/clem/Desktop/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-amd64.iso /media/cdrom0" and then gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" to start the upgrade process the Distribution Upgrade dialog comes up, and it askes me if i want to download the latest updates a [01:46] Pelo: will it at the final leave some configuration in some file or something ? [01:46] crim3_b0y[out]: what is the output of: file lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/drives/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt73USB.ko [01:46] ActionParsnip sorry, resolved..tnx xD [01:46] nd install them i choose no becuase i want to update everything from the cd, so everything goes and then it tells me its going to take 2 more days just to fetch the other files ? and it is using the network connection ? any way to make it update only from the cd ? or is it updateing packages that i've installed that are not included on the cd ? [01:46] dsmith_, what were you doing when you got that msg ? [01:46] ActionParsnip sorry, resolved..tnx xD [01:46] Pelo: installation [01:46] helix7: backup your stuff [01:46] crim3_b0y[out]: what you have there is the exact steps to take so why were you asking is my question [01:47] Pelo; i just looked at the man pages and it says that the time is in hh:mm format.... [01:47] like what stuff all my media and anything "important" is on other drive. [01:47] dreamy, probably but I don't know where , try the iptables manpage might be some info in there [01:47] okey.. [01:47] ok helix7, just making sure [01:48] DarkKnight, read up two lines for that hh:mm in the manpage [01:48] :) np [01:48] dsmith_, if you get as far as the cd menu, run the cd integrity check, if not , try the cd in another comp [01:48] if i have installed php and postfix via apt-get would php automactily use post fix to send mail or do i have to set up config to do that? [01:48] Pelo; ohhh yes yes..thank you..... so there's no need of specifying any option?? [01:48] Pelo: hmmmmmmmmm, ok.... seemed ok.. [01:48] hmm, what is the scope of ubuntu's abilities involving vista games? [01:49] it seems odd that it wants to use the network when i told it not to. [01:49] DarkKnight, not that I can tell, try it with a couple of minutes to see if it works [01:49] dsmith_, anyting out off the ordinary about the computer you want to install on ? [01:49] hp dv4000 [01:49] nothign strange [01:50] dsmith_, is this a live cd, can you get to the desktop ? [01:51] hey, anyone here know of a good laptop, 15 or so inch screen that is not too expencive and runs well with ubuntu? [01:51] Why doesn't ubuntu have a good third party installer like windows or mac? [01:51] dsmith_, any ideas ? [01:51] danhs: what do you mean by a third party installer? [01:51] like what you mean ? [01:51] It frustrates me so....it seems like the *only* major shortfall at this point [01:51] You could go with a system76 laptop [01:51] yes live cd [01:51] desktop yes [01:51] danhs: I'm not sure what you mean by a third-party installer... [01:51] cdm10: I mean, that I should be able to download random third party software that is for sale (costs money) double click on the application and run it/install it [01:51] act_ : can you tell me what means:---# find / -type f -perm +6000 -exec ls -l {} \' [01:51] i'm trying another disk [01:51] dsmith_, you might also want to give the alternate isntall cd a try, it has a text based installer, no desktop, it is often less hiffy about system conf and installs more smothly [01:52] cdm10: the notion of having *everything* in a repository is anathema to a desktop operating system [01:52] danhs: lots of apps work that way... try Skype, for example. [01:52] Is anyone having issue with Add/Remove in 8.04. I can not see any files to install or installed any longer. [01:52] danhs, dpkg -i [01:52] ok pelo [01:52] danhs: you can click "download for Ubuntu", download the file, and literalyl double-click it. [01:52] danhs: it's just up to the software companies to actually use DEB packages. [01:52] danhs, package manager not good enough for you ? [01:52] Pelo: not if I can't get random third party software [01:53] danhs: you CAN, if they supply it for Ubuntu [01:53] dsmith_, I have a working installation of ubuntu 8.04 right now, i've downloaded the Ubuntu-8.10-alternate-amd64.iso as per reccomended on ubuntu upgrade webpage. [01:53] danhs: no one's stopping companies from using DEB packages or writing their own installers [01:53] cdm10: even open source softwrae that doesn't have a debian or ubuntu package manager *rarely* will upload .deb package [01:53] danhs, .deb or .bin files, usualy work well enough , other then that , just learn to compile manualy, it' s not aht compilcated [01:53] danhs: ...then it's their problem. [01:53] 6 min to lost, I'm off ppl , have a good evening [01:53] cdm10: but that's a little unfair to the companies too. there's rpm, .deb and there's no binary guarantee that a compiled .deb or rpm will work on more than a single machine! === rachel is now known as Guest31258 [01:54] danhs: what do you mean? if the system's running Ubuntu, and they supply a DEB package that works on Ubuntu, it'll work on Ubuntu... [01:54] cdm10: you're right they *could* build .deb files but those files may not work on debian if they work on ubuntu, or mepis, or insert other distribution here [01:55] dsmith_, it flies through the first 780 some files really fast like its reading off the mounted cd. but then halts like its trying to download the rest of them off the web [01:55] hey guys, can you help me out with this? I just installed ubuntu, and I'm new at this client [01:55] If I want to join another server, how do I do it? [01:55] can i installl "service" the commmand.. with apt? [01:55] danhs: so they can supply Ubuntu-specific ones. Ubuntu and Fedora, for example, may both be Linux, but they're both different operating systems. [01:55] cdm10: I suppose so. But one .deb that worked for ubuntu 8.04 might not work for 8.10 [01:56] cdm10: my big complaint is that until linux gets this right, we won't ever get applications like dreamweaver or other popular applications [01:56] and it makes it very difficult for for-profit developers to write linux applications [01:57] cdm10: and I *have* downloaded and compiled applications. it's a suck process. I need to use checkinstall and then make icons in the gnome menu myself [01:57] ?

I'm not sure how it could be fixed, though. [01:57] what umask is equivalent to chmod o+w ??? [01:58] hey guys, could you help me out with this this? what do I do if I want to join another server? [01:58] 4 [01:58] talley_: which client do you use? [01:58] cdm10: I don't know either. It seems like klik and autopackage are the best options. But the people with power to change this (people leading ubuntu) don't care to support and evangelize those solutions [01:58] I use xchat-gnome [01:59] talley_: try using /newserver server.name [01:59] Anyone ever seen any text editor that does syntax highlighting for IRC logs? [01:59] I'm trying to run an executable (freeware game, Cave Story), and when I run it by clicking on it in Nautilus it works fine, but trying to run it from terminal or from an application launcher, it opens then immediately closes [01:59] thanks [01:59] running from terminal yields no error messages unfortunately [01:59] snowveil: it might have to do with the directory it's launched from. [02:00] it's currently located in ~/.doukutsu/ [02:00] ex cat [02:00] snowveil: I'm not sure, but it's possible that when double-clicking on an executable, Nautilus launches it within the folder it's in. [02:00] but it's symlinked to usr/share/doukutsu I believe [02:00] Hey guys, anyone on a low-spec laptop with ubuntu? what browser you using? [02:00] <_VIM_> elninja: vim can do syntax highlighting, dont see why it wouldnt work for irc logs [02:01] /track [02:01] Can somebody private chat me, i want to ask a question about ubuntu netbook remix... [02:01] cdm, "ls -l" ~/.doukutsu/doukutsu" yields this: [02:01] lrwxrwxrwx 1 mike mike 28 2008-10-29 21:15 doukutsu -> /usr/share/doukutsu/doukutsu [02:02] is that a symlink? [02:02] snowveil: looks like it [02:02] because running either ~/.doukutsu/doukutsu in terminal window OR /usr/share/doukutsu/doukutsu results in the same problem...however clicking through Nautilus from the ~/.doukutsu folder doesn't have that problem...I'm stumped [02:03] bah [02:04] Could someone please help me? I'm not very used to Ubuntu yet and I have a ... pretty simple question (I think). It's about aMSN and SCIM [02:06] hey [02:06] does anyone know what ofonly video mode actually ist [02:06] Is there a known issue with Add/Remove function in 8.04? When I open and update there no packages are there to install, nor can I see the installed packages. Things are fine in Synaptic and with apt-get. Also, I am running the server kernel.

[02:15] krabador: did it work?

[02:17] A friend of mine told me this guide for WG111 with ubuntu was very outdated ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/NetgearWG111 ), does anyone know if it'd still work or if there are other alternitaves to utilizing my WG 111 adapter with my ubuntu desktop machine? [02:17] thiebaude: i've an ati with vesa dirvers [02:18] thiebaude: can i control this in some way? [02:18] http://pastebin.com/m62a64bf [02:18] opera: su is used for logging in as a different user and uses that user's password. sudo uses the password of the user who runs it [02:18] what do you think of my set up? [02:18] opera a rubber band is very flexible, a piece of wood is not flexible :P [02:18] opera: in most cases, sudo is better [02:18] would it work ok for linux [02:18] lsta_: regular user's password? [02:19] opera: the password of the user who runs it [02:19] how do you kill a process with your mouse [02:19] opera: instead of root's password [02:19] make it into an X [02:20] <_VIM_> yubuntu: type xkill on a terminal [02:20] thanks [02:20] <_VIM_> np [02:20] xgenesis: I presume you've tried plugging it in and verified that support is not built in? [02:20] or go into the system monitor [02:20] right? [02:21] G'Day [02:21] What is the name of the package the tells you recommendations of non-installed packages when you type there name into terminal?

[02:23] anyone dealed with checkpoint before? need help setting up the client [02:23] What is the name of the package that gives the Mouse support for scrolling? [02:23] xgenesis: My recommendation: buy something that Ubuntu supports natively. Ndiswrapper is a pain to configure.

[03:03] if i get a timeout on all server ports does that mean no server present, or port blocked [03:03] coreyman1: weird. Check your BIOS, it may be using S1 instead of S3 sleep modes or something. [03:03] please help me [03:04] cdm10, I could do it by hand (And im part way already) But it doesnt want to copy some of the files acrross so I wanted to see if there was an easier way lol [03:04] krabador: have you tried the Xorg recovery in the recovery menu?

[04:11] yes i did [04:11] me? fast [04:11] can you ping your router? [04:11] RoastedTiresX: you can mount an iso and then try to start the cmd, but I think clonezilla uses dd, so no praticable idea on a mounted sys [04:11] i can try to but i gotta jump to linux lol [04:12] tweak66, whats the dns info that windows gives you from ipconifg /all [04:12] voglster: i dunno how to get a dos prompt! lol [04:12] tweak66, your dns info in linux is report 192.168.0.1 is your only dns server [04:12] if it was linix i'd be there [04:12] DasEI - My idea here is clonezilla live works off of CD, but I always have a work laptop with me that I dual boot XP/Ubuntu on, so if I could run clonezilla on the computer itself and not deal with any CDs thatd be faaaaaaaaaaaabulous [04:12] tweak66, start run cmd [04:12] okay it just opens a window and closes it when i tell it to run that [04:12] hey, i need some help with an external hdd, i wanna use it between 2 comps, its an e sata drive, what is the best file system to use for sharing between windows and ubuntu (3 comps, desktop for e sata and laptops for usb) [04:13] I'm helping my friend install Ubuntu on his XP box, and it stalls at page 6, the migrate data page? Our only option is to cancel, and abort the install. Reboot, select Ubuntu, and ditto? [04:13] RoastedTiresX: what do you want to do with clonezilla then ? [04:13] start run cmd [04:13] mikeypizano, FAT32 [04:13] tweak66, start run... type cmd and hit enter [04:13] can ubuntu play back music on usb headset [04:13] its a 1TB drive [04:13] yes mine is FAT32 [04:13] works fine [04:13] Why does my gnome-panel randomly re-arrange itself when I restart? [04:13] mikeypizano, FAT32 maxes out at about 2 TB, so you're fine [04:13] tweak66, then type ipconfig /all in the dos box [04:13] oooh, thanks :) [04:13] DasEI - I work for a school district. Sometimes if I walk in a lab and there's a computer a student messed up, I'd like to be able to go to the computer next ot it, pull an image, and push that image to the faulty computer in the lab... with my laptop being the host and main storage unit for the image. [04:13] cya later guys [04:14] shausam27: it can, if the headset is supported, see: [04:14] !hardware [04:14] okay done.. lots of output, can't cut/paste it? [04:14] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [04:14] n2diy: are you trying to migrate any data ?? [04:14] tweak66, just read down for the dns server info and let me know what it reports [04:14] RoastedTiresX, I recommend a gparted live cd. It will let you backup to and restore from an FTP server. [04:14] I use GParted. But not for cloning purposes. [04:14] rrplay, umm, what else would be migrating? [04:15] RoastedTiresX, if it's a live CD, you can use it for cloning no problem. Cloning over the network works very well in my experience. [04:15] vogler it says on one line dhcp enabled:no [04:15] I'd rather just use Clonezilla because it's what I used all year. I'm just trying to elimuinate the CD by using Clonezilla on my laptop to pull the image [04:15] n2diy: you really do not need to migrate anything just get it installed [04:15] gotcha, RoastedTiresX [04:15] Huufarted - Have you used clonezilla server edition on DRBL? [04:15] Why is it that on my ubuntu live cd (8.04) nautilus doesn't work? the process is running (well sleeping according to system monitor) its kind of like when on windows, explorer crashes. [04:15] RoastedTiresX, no I have not. Heck, I don't even know what DRBL is [04:16] Elems, did you mess around with anything? [04:16] RoastedTiresX: I see, for that that's worth a try: http://packratstudios.com/index.php/2008/04/20/how-to-setup-clonezilla-on-linux-ubuntu-quick-start-guide/ [04:16] ah, diskless remote boot [04:16] Huufarted - Diskless Remote Boot Linux... which is required to run Clonezilla Server, which clones over the network. I've tried to get Clonezilla SE working and I havent had much success, but I use the LiveCD often. [04:16] Has anyone been able to get the head tracking plugin for compiz to work? I bought a webcam specifically so I could try it. [04:16] rrplay, we are at page 6 of page 7, of the install process, it is Ubuntu that wants to migrate stuff, not us. [04:16] All; Having a problem with VMWare install. Have 2 laptops and 3 desktops I want to install it on, under Ubuntu. Working on 1st DT. When I get the player installed I get a version incompatibility error with my W2K SP1 install CD. Trying to find the right VMW version for this, but all my searching tells nothing about which VMW release is compatible with which release of Windows. I also have two machines that will be Win XP, but again S [04:16] wolter: no, I'm using it on my dad's laptop since he messed it up (I did a memtest for a long tiem, no errors there). I tried restarting X, which didn't help [04:17] n2diy: there should be an option like enter and it will not migrate anything to continue [04:17] !hardware > shausam27 [04:17] shausam27, please see my private message [04:17] !pm > shausam27 [04:17] wolter: before restarting X, the area on the desktop where the background is was frozen, always a little please wait cursor thing. after restarting X there is no background at all, no waiting either just nothign [04:17] n2diy: something like leaving it blank and NOT migrating anything [04:18] samba question: I have two users set up for Samba. Both users' home directories have 755 permissions and are owned by their respective user. Only one of the directories can be viewed over samba, though. Any ideas? [04:18] rrplay, we have a forward button, and a cancel button, the forward button is ghosted out, no matter what we try to do. [04:18] hey I extracted the driver for Ndiswrapper, but I cant find a .INF [04:18] !iso | RoastedTiresX might also be helpful [04:18] RoastedTiresX might also be helpful: 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.

[04:19] n2diy: di you guys do a media check of the cd ?? [04:19] thats so weird Elems [04:19] Elems: wolter: If you fight X driver problems you need to talk with the expert NeedySeagoon on #gentoo [04:19] i would backup and reinstall (if you don't have home on another partition) [04:19] rrplay, no, Ubuntu found the XP user, and offers that as an option, but we can't ignore it, the forward button is ghosted when we ignore it. [04:20] Elems, maybe I would restore the xorg.conf before doing that [04:20] rrplay, yes, this box was setup with the same disk. [04:20] n2diy: are you planing on dual boot setup and did you run a media check ?? [04:20] wotler: remember, its a live cd, which makes thing weirder [04:21] yes, and yes.

[04:55] (actual package name is "Murrine-themes") [04:55] under DEVICE it just says partitions [04:55] CentHOGG: make sure its by uuid cause its really really easy to get the disks out of order [04:55] !rules [04:55] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:55] ubottu i see on that page that when booting up the installation will help me partition the drive so that will help. although i will not install windows first b/c i dont own a copy at the moment [04:55] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:55] yeah dot I think uuid is ok. I can assemble the md0 and see it, just can't boot it up [04:56] with initrd [04:56] that was a joke rite? [04:56] CentHOGG: mdadm --examine --scan --config=mdadm.conf >> ./mdadm.conf -- Then regenerate initrd. [04:56] wrektjet: cfdisk is a great tool to make quick changes [04:56] z0d14k: I think I'll have to regenerate an initrd [04:56] lol@wrektjet [04:56] thx [04:57] z0d14k: whats the command to regenerate too :) [04:57] total noob [04:57] Has anyone been able to get the head tracking plugin for compiz to work?

[05:00] Nytrix: I guess so, it could be insulting and give a false representation of the ubuntu community [05:01] Nytrix, everybody starts somewhere and if we talked down on the people trying to learn, where will we get our replacement 'techs' from?

If you go to rescue mode, regenerate the mdadm.conf, then regenerate the initramfs, try that. [05:07] !ispconfig [05:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about ispconfig [05:07] yeah [05:07] DasEI: azlon: try a speaker test [05:07] DasEI: yeah, i read some articles on how to forward it but got confused when they started talking about files i didnt have [05:07] !newbie [05:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about newbie [05:07] z0d14k: just to verify, if in my mdadm it just says DEVICE partitions that is messed up right?

Why do you think the RAID didn't assemble automatically at boot then? [05:09] i don't have the cards in my stuff for wireless [05:09] CentHOGG: You could check the partitions and make sure they are of type 82.

As I think about it more, I would look at partition types first. mdadm can only auto-assemble RAIDsets if they have the right partition type. [05:11] DasEI: when i select those for audio output nothing comes out [05:12] sebsebseb: check top fo what causes it (or htop) [05:12] CentHOGG: Not only that, it is a _MUCH_ easier thing to check than recreating mdadm and initrd. === chili is now known as Guest31796 [05:12] azlon: the upper right corner of the GUI, which device is listed there ?

[05:45] :) [05:45] wrektjet, it means don't use 177.82 drivers with whatever hangs ;) [05:46] slow site, give me a sec [05:46] dotblank: issue solved, thank you :) [05:46] np [05:46] nickrud: good to know [05:46] hangs means freezes up? [05:46] tweak66, you are going to want to kill me. I meant to have you type 'netstat -rn' [05:46] hahaha [05:46] high [05:46] danbhfive yes [05:46] !killall5 [05:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about killall5 [05:46] huh. [05:46] as long as u stick around it's ok [05:46] i cannot run gadmin-proftpd segfault [05:46] TBotNi1: you now that the player doesn't build vm's ? [05:46] tweak66, I am sticking around, but not for too much longer. Get to it [05:47] Huufarted: tweak66 lol perhaps route would have been better... [05:47] tweak66, you can blame me, though. dotblank, we need to see the IPs, not the names, though. [05:47] ok so type route? [05:47] how do I edit my bug report again don't see the button [05:47] tweak66: route -n [05:47] danbhfive: I tried /record apple, said it was recording. Then I /quit and reopened it, and now it wont /play apple [05:47] Huufarted: true [05:47] is there a more idiot-level ubuntu room? [05:47] rount -n ok [05:47] tweak66, dotblank: 'route -n' and 'netstat -rn' are the same thing [05:47] found it [05:47] wrektjet, this is it :) and I missed your earlier, hang usually means freeze [05:48] tweak66, route not rount [05:48] tweak66: Huufarted If all else fails you could try selecting an older kernel from the grub menu [05:48] !who wrektjet [05:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about who wrektjet [05:48] go go go [05:48] !who | wrektjet [05:48] wrektjet: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [05:48] wrektjet: ubu is always smart, /list for channel list, #ubuntu-beginners, I think [05:48] dotblank: i have.. :( all the way back to the first one [05:48] tweak66, go go go. :) It's late here [05:48] tweak66: did compile your own drivers? [05:48] Supermm: I used to use /stop to stop the recording. I kinda forget how I got it to play. I thought it was just /play. But thats all I remember. Maybe /quit causes the recording to be discarded? [05:48] dotblank, wait. one thing at a time bud. [05:48] DasEI: Catch you on flip, off 2 bed. Have 6am wakeup. [05:48] TBotNi1: did build essential help out ? [05:49] TBotNi1: k, I'm making through, see ya [05:49] dotblank, we're going to make his head explode. :) [05:49] For the record, 'option "RenderAccel" "false"' fixed the problem. Don't mind the slight 2d rendering performance hit [05:49] Huufarted: if the kernel doesn't matter maybe its something in modules-restricted? [05:49] it's a crappy card anyway [05:49] dotblank, I don't know. That's out of my scope. [05:49] danbhfive: perhaps. I'll try stop. I also notice the repo one isn't the latest one (as with most programs :-\ ) [05:50] ok thanks everyone for the help tonight. i will hopefully succeed in my project to utilize linux. [05:50] Huufarted: He may have to blacklist his current driver [05:50] dotblank, I'm a network guy and BASIC linux guy. I know a little about a lot and a lot about a little, but not a lot about a lot. :) [05:50] if i have two directories, is there a way to show the contents of both in a different folder? (like using links or something) [05:50] Huufarted: dotblank : works the other way round too, like a remark like mine in a support channel :D [05:50] Huufarted: studying for my CCNA [05:51] dotblank, kudos to you. I've heard Cisco certs are tough stuff. [05:52] Huufarted: It took a CCENT but I thought it was harder then it was almost got 100%, but subnets are huge in it [05:52] danbhfive: that didn't work either. [05:53] Huufarted: OSPF, MPLS, Frame-relay, cdp, VTP, and trunking might explode this channel :) [05:57] huufarted:dotblank:http://pastebin.ca/1353308 [05:57] tweak66, is 192.168.0.1 your router? [05:57] huufarted:yes [05:58] Huufarted: Whats an APICA address doing in there? [05:58] dotblank: I was wondering the same. My wireless pulls that subnet when I screw up the connection encryption [05:59] Huufarted: usually that address is only used if it can't find an address [05:59] dotblank, but mine's got it as well === Roy_Muzz is now known as Roy_M [05:59] Huufarted: mine doesn't [05:59] dotblank, i have 2 NICs in mine, one does not have a connection. That's probably why. [05:59] Huufarted: wait yes I do [05:59] dotblank: lol [05:59] what can I use to see if a specific app has memory leak? [06:00] Huufarted: but that metric will make it never come into efect [06:00] dotblank, that's correct === rashire2 is now known as rashire [06:01] tweak66: do you have a firewall on that linux pc? or have you used iptables? [06:01] tweak66, I'm at a loss. Your network settings themselves look good to go [06:01] dotblank: nope [06:01] tweak66, dotblank, dieselsmoke, good night. I'm out for tonight. Tweak66, I apologize, but those are all of the ideas I have. [06:01] thank you huu [06:02] tweak66: do you have shorewal [06:02] never heard of it dotblank [06:02] Does anyone here know a lot about modprobe? Especially the process it uses to select which module to choose if there are two present? [06:03] i really don't wanna try re-installing and get the same problem.. [06:03] Hey everyone.. Sorry if this isnt allowed, but my friend is getting rid of a lot of servers in his datacenter and asked me to pass along the list to friends if they were interested. http://maddhat.com/etc/forums/Server_Sale_March_2009.pdf I was thinking of building a vmware lab with ubuntu distros running to test network security on one.. ive always wanted to try ubuntu on decent server equipment :-) [06:03] !leak [06:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about leak [06:03] I'm trying to use madwifi ath_pci, and modprobe keeps loading the kernel version, not my compiled one [06:03] !spam | madhatter1 [06:03] madhatter1: Unsure how you should behave on this channel?

[06:04] tweak66: hmm it must be iptables or somthing [06:04] i don't know what those are lol [06:04] anybody know how to set the mime type of a file? [06:04] Hello, i would like to know how I can set up Ubuntu so that I can see my NTFS hard drive from boot-up. i can see it now only after I choose it in "Places," and then it is on for the entire time, but not before. [06:05] dotblank: should i try and see if the ubuntu livecd boots and gives me internet access? i bet it does... [06:05] !fstab | StevenX (you'd set it up in this file, so it mounts on boot) [06:05] StevenX (you'd set it up in this file, so it mounts on boot): 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 [06:06] StevenX, the easiest way is to open up a file called the /etc/mtab and look for the line with the name of your ntfs drive. Copy this line and then paste it into the end of the /etc/fstab file. This will do it for you. [06:06] niku, thank you very very much. [06:06] tweak66: try running these commands "sudo iptables -F" [06:06] np. [06:07] StevenX, the only thing I'd say extra over niku is using the UUID instead of the /dev/ notation in the mount line [06:07] tweak66: and h/o im building the next command [06:07] dotblank: ok, i will brb [06:07] o ok lol [06:07] hello. [06:07] !UUID|StevenX [06:07] StevenX: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [06:07] nickrud, and where would I be able to find the UUID? [06:07] tweak66: wait [06:07] hehe. thanks dft [06:07] StevenX, see above :) and the fstab page has some info as well [06:07] StevenX: nikrud is right about UUID' [06:08] I use it with all my usb sticks [06:08] much more reliable [06:08] moin [06:08] tweak66: also run this 'sudo echo "auto eth0\niface eth0 inet dhcp" > /etc/networking/interfaces' [06:08] but I'm going to try to remember that mtab advice, a nice quick way to get a default line [06:08] Is the a ubuntu that I can install on my two gig flash drive so I can run ubuntu in virtual environment so that I do have to restart my windows machine at school [06:09] tweak66: also come back with output from lsmod [06:09] I'm using an Acer Aspire 5570 laptop that runs on Intrepid. I've installed wifi-radar on it and I can now detect wireless networks. The problem is, while I can connect to the network, I can't visit websites. Please help me. Thanks a lot! [06:09] ok. I found the mtab with the line i need to add to fstab: "/dev/sda1 /media/disk fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0" [06:09] !usb | gishaust [06:09] gishaust: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [06:09] Now i will replace "/dev/sda1" with the UUID. [06:09] tweak66: thats all [06:09] thanks alot [06:09] dotblank: so just type lsmod? [06:10] tweak66: or lsmod > textfile.txt if you want to save it [06:10] ok brb [06:12] nickrud, when adding to fstab (no worries, already made a backup), should I add "F224B35424B31B15 /media/disk fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0" [06:12] or should I add UUID=F224B35424B31B15 /media/disk fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0 [06:13] StevenX, (backspacing) second version [06:13] nickrud, sorry, what? [06:13] the second line you gave, with UUID= [06:13] StevenX, oh, got it. Thanks. didn't get the (backspacing) [06:13] right. [06:13] thanks agian. gonna restart see if it works. [06:14] much thanks everyone that helped!

I tried sudo killall pulseaudio then pulseaudio but i get 'Operation not permitted'. Same if i tried sudo pulseaudio [06:16] is there a program that allows me to check which ports on the network are open?

Error opening PCM deivce - device or resource busy [06:16] how do I edit a gnome menu item to run as sudo? [06:17] paul68: in a terminal, netstat -tunap [06:17] like what do I put in the command properties of the menu item so that it promts me for a root password to run the app as root? [06:17] unr3a1: instead of sudo use gksu [06:17] ah [06:17] ok [06:18] Guest42490: ATI or Nivdia? [06:18] sebsebseb: nvidia [06:19] sebsebseb: whoops thought if you were asking wich is better [06:19] dotblank: thank you [06:19] dotblank: that worked for me [06:19] dieselsmoke: thanks perhaps you can help me with the next question to my boss is using a proxy server and blocked all ports, I had to ask him to get access to port 8001 for example to use konversation is there a way that I could use this port to connect through ssh?

[06:22] dotblank: nope i do not. if i do network share, it's ftp [06:22] TruthTac1: make it executable and double click it [06:22] TruthTac1: chmod 755 filename.bin, then ./filename.bin -all from the terminal in the bin's directory. [06:23] thanks [06:23] tweak66: This seems to be a common problem for shorewal users. that program seems to install those modules that use nat [06:23] TruthTac1: quibbler's will work too.

I've been running 8.04 for a while, using mdadm + USB attached drives (raid-1). I fixed a prior issue with the USB drives not spinning up in time by adding rootdelay=30 to my boot params. After recently upgrading (I added 2 new drives, created a new array) and rebooting, it seems like rootdelay isn't waiting the requisite 30 seconds like it used (also upgraded my kernel). [07:05] Has rootdelay been deprecated or is there another work-around I should be using? [07:05] hey guys i need some help [07:07] Hello, does anyone know of a way to easily make a single pdf from a folder of 300+ jpegs? [07:07] i just installed ubuntu 8.10 - but i used to have ubuntu 7.04 before(which isnt upgradeable) - so i formatted the harddrive and installed 8.10 - but the problem is that the bootmanager wasnt installed with the 8.10 installation - so i cant choose which os i want to boot up - i would like to use the vista boot manager which is why i didnt install the ubuntu boot manager - so now whenever i start my comp it says the boot manager doesnt [07:07] Anyone have a website that lists the compatability? [07:07] !hcl [07:07] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [07:08] wow, only one OP [07:08] and its a bot :D [07:09] start doing stuff to get banned and see if your hypothesis stands true [07:09] (it does not :)) [07:09] so.. can anyone help me out? [07:09] NDS|Brandon: #ubuntu operators don't op themselves unless they're in the middle of doing op stuff. There are some here :) [07:09] NDS|Brandon: That's freenode policy, by the way. [07:10] oh [07:10] SaLiFa what are the advantages of the vista boot manager vs grub? [07:10] * NDS|Brandon has been on quakenet to long [07:10] SaLiFa, if you didn't install grub *anywhere*, you cannot boot ubuntu. The vista bootloader is only smart enough to start another bootloader, not a linux kernel [07:10] hello [07:10] i am installing the driver for my vga [07:11] but i get the ff error: Error: cannot find header matching kernel version 2.6.27-11-generic [07:11] i would just like one bootloder not 2 - so i didnt install grub - but... is there a way for me to install grub without having to completely reinstall ubuntu? [07:11] !grub | SaLiFa [07:11] SaLiFa: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[07:12] I am working with dolphin the file manager and the one feature I liked about it was the tab feature . It does not seem to have that anymore do any of you know how to get it back ? [07:12] hi [07:12] what mus be the ptoblem with this error: Error: cannot find header matching kernel version 2.6.27-11-generic [07:12] is there a way i can ping a particular request for half an hour [07:12] i just downloaded the standard 8.10 installation cd - do i have to have the live cd to reinstall grub? [07:12] bohemian_, the problem is that you're manually installing video drivers, which is only required in very rare cases [07:12] I think you can install grub off the live cd without fully completing the install [07:12] of ubuntu [07:13] SaLiFa: yes [07:13] What is the best replacement for VMware in buntu? [07:13] SaLiFa: probably yes. you need a way to boot into linux [07:13] ArmedKing: Virtualbox [07:13] Micheal = MichealPW ?

[07:20] havent tried [07:20] i forget what they call it [07:20] sebsebseb, ArmedKing the only thing that VirtualBox is REALLY missing, is a way to start VMs on boot, right now there is no way to do it in the program and the only init.d scripts I have tried using have all had some sort of difficulty or another... hopefully in the next version.

I can connect to the server and it performs the list command, but there are no directories listed. (sorry if this is stupid, I'm new) [07:24] ZykoticK9: I think you need to lookinto headless setup [07:25] grendal_prime, yes that is requirement #1 (i've got several headless working great), it's the #2 adding it to init.d that becomes more tricky [07:26] I'm VNCing to ubuntu from Windows, and the vnc window is really small. How do I make it bigger? Is it dependent on the resolution of ubuntu desktop? [07:27] hello how to upgrade skype 2.0 to 3?

[07:31] user296: sessions as X session [07:32] simplexio: sorry, I don't understand. Could you explain more? [07:33] user296: when you are that GrafigalUserInterface also know as X windowin system [07:34] simplexio: yes ... I have the graphical interface. Just no mouse support unless I restart the session [07:34] ae [07:36] user296: my best quess is that you can fix problem adding all relevant mouse setup data into xorg.conf, problem probably is that X scans hardware and configures it at start [07:37] i am setting up ZSNES and a WiiMote [07:37] !repostory [07:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about repostory [07:37] !repository [07:37] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[07:38] any ideas on how to install somehow recent java 6 *headless* on ubuntu server 8.04? [07:39] simplexio: thanks [07:40] azlon you could run something like " && zsnes" this would wait until wiimote command ran successfully then run zsnes, just a suggestion... [07:41] ZykoticK9: thanks, ill give it a shot [07:41] user296: read this is a forum: Ubuntu doesn't detect new USB drive automatically. I did a couple of 'lsusb' from terminal and normally your new USB mouse shows on the 2nd lsusb. If you see the mouse on lsusb output, you'll be able to use it. [07:42] I have two machines. When I try to SSH from one to the other, the login is incredibly slow (takes about 5 seconds for the password prompt to appear). When I SSH to any other machine it works fine. When I ssh to the server from any other machine it works fine. This problem only occurs with this combination of client and server. What on earth could be causing this? [07:43] tsrk, reverse dns slowness/failure [07:43] ZykoticK9: that didnt quite work because the wiimote command is running the whole time i am using the wiimote [07:44] azlon, ummmm, that's a little more complicated -- not sure man, good luck [07:44] tsrk, refer to here may helpful: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050329185832952 [07:44] Seveas, that's what i was thinking but why would it not happen with other machines on the network then? [07:44] ZykoticK9: when the controller connects it returns "Ready"... im sure that is in the programs and no way to recognize when its ready [07:44] tsrk, it's related with reverse DNS. [07:44] its cool, thanks [07:44] tsrk, they might not be caring about it or have the info cached [07:45] hi, I need some help with m4 [07:45] hechu, Seveas, also i forgot to note that this used to work fine (immediately connect) [07:45] anyone? [07:45] and the configurations on all the machines should be identical (i've made no changes) [07:46] azlon, perhaps you could work a "sleep X" into it? like "command to run wiimote> & sleep 10 && zsnes" just adjust the sleep amount to be however long it takes to get the Wiimote "Ready" [07:46] p1oooop: more info? [07:46] ZykoticK9: thanks! [07:46] quibbler: well, I installed m4 so I can use flex, but when installing flex, it says m4 isn't installed [07:47] tsrk, when you login on that machine and do 'host ip.from.connecting.box', does that give info quickly? [07:47] halp! everytime i start gnome-appearance-settings my X crashes [07:47] StyleSheep, it's a conspiracy to make everyones desktop look the same and be unchangable :) [07:48] doesnt matter if i go to System->Settings->Appearance or rightclick the desktop->Change Wallpaper... [07:48] StyleSheep, that'll be part 2 of the plan ;) [07:48] Seveas, no, it's an internal ip [07:48] ??? [07:48] Seveas, *lol* i didnt want to change anything, it just started today with an old theme [07:48] tsrk, then add it to /etc/hosts and see if that helps? [07:49] Seveas, and i wanted to change it back [07:49] quibbler: you there? [07:49] didnt find anything useful on google... [07:49] StyleSheep, as you might guess, I have no clue what's going on there. Maybe there's something useful in your Xorg.0.log? [07:49] Seveas, ok, i'll try that, but why would it only effect this one combination? [07:49] p1oooop: how are you installing [07:50] I am having trouble running apps from Ubuntu [07:50] quibbler: I did... [07:50] quibbler: and I tested, passed all tests [07:50] p1oooop, did you install manually or from packages? [07:50] packages [07:50] this happened right after I copied some files from a remote PC which has basically the same setup into my home directory [07:50] I don't trust muself [07:50] *myself [07:51] the problem is with running pretty much anything under gnome [07:51] apt-get install flex should work then [07:51] anyone know how to increase the bandwidht of ekiga?

[07:52] nope, apt-get flex doesnt work [07:52] Seveas, there are four of these rows on the end of the file [07:52] can anyone explain the openjdk6-jre package numbering? ubuntu version is 6b11; java -version reports 1.6.0_0-b11, what does that b11 stand for? [07:53] p1oooop: what errors? [07:53] Seveas, well, i gotta say, that worked wonders [07:53] but why??? i don't get it :P [07:53] quibbler: it says m4 isn't installed [07:54] alan: easiest way to "fix" it it is remove .gnome* dirs and restart X session. but beware that "resets" all gnome settings etc... [07:54] p1oooop: apt-get install m4 [07:55] anyone knows if there is a program for Ubuntu that is similar to Adobe Bridge?
