[00:02] ChrisW: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=958967&page=3 [00:02] situation even [00:03] ActionParsnip: It’s running on the command line, not via a web server so I don’t think it actually is logging. I’ll see if I can make it verbose, otherwise I’ll run it through Lighttpd. Cheers. :) [00:03] <_Whipper__> jrib: im not, just getting to know u guys and your skills :) === neocrom is now known as neolin [00:03] did any of you played left 4 dead on ubuntu amd64??

Has anyone else seen the same ?

[00:06] <_Whipper__> VIM: it certainly IS free [00:06] i want to record from the line-in on my soundcard. i'd like to record directly to .ogg if possiblke [00:06] whats a good app to use for this?

[00:06] ok so a guys wireless didn't work in Ubuntu, but on the Mandriva Live CD it did just like that. so why not in Ubuntu?

[00:07] aaa === warriorf1rgod is now known as warriorforgod [00:07] kane77: ok then the command i gave you might work [00:07] SineDeviance: sound-recorder [00:07] DasE1, i didnt say i wanted to rip, i said i want to RECORD :D [00:07] !info sound-recorder [00:07] sound-recorder (source: sound-recorder): Direct-to-disk recording and play-back programs..

[00:07] ActionParsnip, thanks [00:07] <_VIM_> ActionParsnip: do you sleep? you're more active than ubottu hehe [00:08] kane77: if that doesn't work try "rm -r ~.gconf/*" [00:08] :| I cant get Ubuntu Working [00:08] Ive tried liek everything [00:09] is there a program to print to an image like a jpeg? [00:09] hacker_kid: yes [00:09] dotblank, got the name for me? [00:09] _VIM_: from 1am til 7am then 4pm til 6pm [00:09] hacker_kid: its already installed and it can save as pdf. [00:10] dotblank, thanks I've been able to get in now :) [00:10] _VIM_: i kinda catnaap than a big sleep [00:10] dotblank, i need to save as an image, jpeg is prefered [00:10] <_VIM_> sounds like my schedule ActionParsnip :) [00:10] fuuuuuu [00:10] hello [00:10] Ubuntu Hates me :\ [00:10] ActionParsnip, exactly what i was looking for, thanks a bunch! [00:10] how do I get the java plugin working in FF under Ubuntu 8.10? [00:10] hacker_kid, just about anything that will display it (eog, ff, gimp, ....) should be able to print it. [00:10] what package should I install? [00:11] any ideas? [00:11] sprinkmeier_, thats not what im saying, if i hit print in an application i can choose "Print to File" to save as a pdf or postscript. i need to save as a jpeg [00:11] sebsebseb: mandriva is a different distro and uses rpm instead of deb so its different. there will be different apps and packages on the cd so it may just drop in for some drivers but not others [00:11] @FFighter hi [00:11] <_VIM_> FFighter: sudo apt-get ubuntu-restricted-exras should do it. [00:11] [LinMint-Cholo]: pvt msgs [00:11] <_VIM_> oops forgot install* [00:11] ActionParsnip: yeah that's basically what I thought [00:11] _VIM_, thanks! [00:12] hacker_kid, ok... misunderstood question. Save as PDF, then chain pdftoppm and ppmtojpeg together [00:12] hacker_kid: "convert in.pdf out.jpg" will work [00:12] hello. can someone help me with a problem with X that has me stumped? [00:12] dotblank, ty [00:13] <_Whipper__> now i no the reason for my lap-top over-heating.. continuesly searching for wireless network.. how the f**k i missed that.. [00:13] man, firefox crashes assloads in ubuntu [00:13] =/ [00:14] i never have firefox crashes here... [00:14] <_VIM_> Opera ftw [00:14] !ask | killme101 [00:14] wonder what im doin wrong =/ [00:14] _VIM_: +1 for opera [00:14] dux0r: indeed it can do I get problems to [00:14] dux0r: Ubuntu's version is also not offical [00:14] I'm trying to install ebox but there is an unmet dependancy and suggests checking to make sure all the repos are checked.. (libapache-authcookie-perl). all but backports, proposed and partner are checked.. what's up with this? [00:14] dux0r: how much RAM you got? [00:14] 1gig i think [00:15] dux0r: ok same here, and that's our issue I think [00:15] killme101: 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. :-) [00:15] dux0r: Firefox can memory leak and even be bad on 2GB at times [00:15] <_VIM_> ActionParsnip: yeah only a few java bugs in opera such as Googles Notebook buttons no workie, but else it's great [00:15] !hfs [00:15] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [00:15] ?? [00:15] anyone know how to mount an hfs partition? [00:15] _VIM_: shame everyone is firefox brainwashed [00:15] bb [00:15] <_VIM_> yep [00:15] ActionParsnip: what do you like better? [00:15] <_Whipper__> Gparted [00:15] <_VIM_> ActionParsnip: it doesnt help that FF is default in Ubuntu [00:15] dux0r, FF plugins can also cause problems (memory leaks etc). [00:15] Scunizi: opera [00:16] opera should advertise more [00:16] _VIM_: not in kubuntu, its konqueror there [00:16] ActionParsnip: ah.. yea.. I like opera too.. [00:16] <_VIM_> yeah [00:16] dux0r: yes you can run Opera in Ubuntu, as well as other nice browsers [00:16] yeah, i mostly use opera [00:16] _VIM_: and if you do install it it pulls in a tonne of gnome fluff [00:16] Firefox is fine, have no issues with it [00:16] sebastien, never had links crash on me.... [00:17] <_Whipper__> im running Opera on my N96, and its way better than anything else ive tried.. [00:17] anyone know why there are unmet dependancies when using synaptic to install ebox? [00:17] I've encountered more security flaws in Opera than Firefox in my own experience. [00:17] dux0r: Galeon, Epiphany (sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser or you get some game) and Konqueror are all worth having. maybe even dilo for that matter as well [00:17] hmm, okay, so some manual hacking of xorg.conf and I have some sane monitor res's (*why* do I need to do this?!) [00:17] sprinkmeier_: heh yeah, but that's text only. oh and you know about Links as well? [00:17] Scunizi, last i heard - ebox was broken on ubuntu for some reason [00:17] now, I have wifi problems [00:17] i think i tried konqueror years ago [00:17] so today i booted to see X not working at all (after the ubuntu load bar thing, just black). in recovery mode i told it to fix X and it disabled my restricted nvidia drivers and it worked. then, i wanted to reenable the drivers. they didn't show at all in System>Administration>Hardware Drivers, so i just apt-get installed nvidia-glx-173 (the one i was using before this happened). now X won't start at all, saying the configuration is wrong, and o [00:18] Dr_willis_AAO: figures.. even swat doesn't work for me [00:18] sebastien, text only? that's what aalib is for... [00:18] <_Whipper__> only gives me a tty instead. does anyone know a way to fix this? if not, i'm seriously considering back to windows for good because of crap like this happening way too often. [00:18] Scunizi: it means that you may have to update your package lists or make sure you have all repository. if you can't find it that way try google [00:18] seems to connect fine when I provide the wep key as requested, but I don't appear to actually be able to use the connection [00:18] dux0r: ah yes and then Seamonkey :) Mozilla Suite was a marketting failure, so along comes Firefox, but for those that liked the Mozilla Suite which is no longer suppourted, they can use Seamonkey [00:18] (sorry, i got cut off by irssi) [00:18] not even a ping to the gateway [00:18] dux0r: the code lived in by the community as Seamonkey [00:18] any ideas? [00:18] lived on [00:18] killme101: is yur card supported by the 173? [00:19] ActionParsnip: since it worked for a few months until today using 173, i would think it is [00:19] ChrisW: did you select the right type of WEP, 64bit or 128bit WEP etc [00:19] dux0r: and Mozilla Suite only existed since IE nearly killed Netscape etc etc, but this is all off topic [00:19] killme101: ok cool [00:19] ActionParsnip: this wasn't even after an update or anything [00:19] killme101: try: sudo nvidia-xconfig and restart x server [00:19] ActionParsnip: yep, that bti seems fine, the connection shows just fine in the bar at the top of the screen === russ__ is now known as Russ [00:19] can someone help me get the headtracking plugin for compiz to work? [00:19] ChrisW: can you access your routers config page ok? [00:20] I even have an ip address according to ifconfig [00:20] ActionParsnip: i did, and that's what gave me the completely screwed up xorg.conf [00:20] lakotajames: you are still looking for an answer? [00:20] lakotajames: i'd ask in #compiz its more specific [00:20] ActionParsnip: nope, can't even ping it [00:20] dotblank: yep/ [00:20] "it" being 192.168.1.1... [00:20] ChrisWhow about if you set a manual ip appropriate for your LAN? [00:20] ActionParsnop: ok, thanks [00:21] is /dev/sdb2 /media/mac hfs force 0 0 the proper way to force mount an hfs partition? [00:21] ActionParsnip: the ip it has *is* an appropriate ip for my LAN [00:21] so I don't see how manually setting it will help... [00:21] should your own files and directories in /home show permissions of 777? [00:21] keres, 'forcing' is never the proper way to do anything :-( but that line in /etc/fstab should work [00:21] ActionParsnip: it doesn't even mention my graphics card. all that it does is is has a device of identifier "Device0", VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation", and Driver "nvidia" [00:22] Scunizi: no [00:22] sprinkmeier_: doesnt :( [00:22] ChrisW: can you pst the output of ifconfig -a, lspci, iwconfig, netstat -rn, cat /etc/resolv.conf to pastebin? [00:22] jrib: what should they be? [00:22] Scunizi: depends on the file [00:22] dotblank: not easilly: I have no nework connection :-( [00:22] ChrisW: ouch [00:22] <_Whipper__> 177.3 driver should work nVidia i ment.. [00:22] well d'uh, that's what IU'm trying to fix ;-) [00:22] ChrisW: is 192.168.1.1 your router [00:22] ChrisW: no, set the ip on you wifi to static ip and gice it an ip address rather than relying on dhcp [00:22] keres, can you mount it on the command-line? if so , look at /etc/mtab and copy/paste to /etc/fstab [00:22] <_Whipper__> with an older kernel.. [00:23] jrib: I'm talking about things in /home and it's subdirectories that I have put in there. [00:23] dotblank: yup ;-) [00:23] ChrisW: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [00:23] ActionParsnip: what does vga have to do with this? [00:23] ChrisW: and you can't ping it? [00:23] ChrisW: wriong dude, sorry [00:23] dotblank: correct [00:23] ChrisW: is the wireless connected? [00:23] sprinkmeier_: what does an hfs partition look like? [00:24] ActionParsnip: the ip address it got by dhcp is exactly the address I would manually assign it, how is manually assigning it going to help? [00:24] killme101: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [00:24] dotblank: yes, it has an ip address and everything ;-) [00:24] even shows up all cute and connected in the bar at the top of the screen [00:24] ChrisW: what error do you get when you ping? === c is now known as charitwo [00:24] keres, I don't understand the question. Once it's mounted it should look like any other partition [00:24] ChrisW: ah ok then dhcp is working ok. thats a good sign. try: sudo ifdown eth0 [00:25] sprinkmeier_: im trying to mount an hfs partition, im looking at mtab, This makes less sense than fstab [00:25] ChrisW: this will down the wired interface and the data will have no choice [00:25] ActionParsnip: eth0 not configured [00:25] ChrisW: can you ping? [00:26] Is the command I would use to had a repo to my sources.list without opening /etc/apt/sources.list sudo bash -c "echo 'deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free' >> /etc/apt/sources.list" [00:26] ActionParsnip: if hes pinging in the current subnet his routing table doesn't really take effect [00:26] It seems the Lyx package in Hardy is actually a Debian package, not Ubuntu, is this possible? [00:26] chrisW: ping 38.99.130.180 [00:26] ActionParsnip: no, can't even ping the router [00:26] ActionParsnip: how will that help? I can't even ping the gateway... [00:26] keres, if it's mounted just grep for the mount-point, that should give you the line representing the hfs partition. If it's not mounted it won't be in mtab. [00:26] ChrisW: does a reboot help? [00:26] <_Whipper__> chrisw: then your card is almost cert. broken [00:26] ActionParsnip: no [00:26] sprinkmeier_: syntax for grep? [00:26] ChrisW: request timed out, operation not supported, network unreachable? [00:26] ActionParsnip: was the lshw | grep vga directed at me? [00:26] jrib: files that I have created.. what should be the permission number if not 777? [00:26] ChrisW: does the wifi card have a default gateway defined? [00:26] How do I install the lib atm package on ubuntu 8.10? (apt-get install linux-atm doesn't work) [00:26] _Whipper__: nope, connects fine from the same machine when running Vista [00:27] killme101: yes, lspci | grep -i vga [00:27] ActionParsnip: Turns out I was calling a function inside itself, instead of getting the variable of the same name. Infinite loop = segfault. [00:27] jrib: 744? [00:27] AshKyd: thatll do it [00:27] Cool_Nick, whats the error? === hd is now known as Guest19308 [00:27] Scunizi: the default umask is 022. So by default, permissions will have 755 permissions [00:27] keres, (pardon me for saying this, but if you don't know grep then maybe you shouldn't be messing with 'force mount' options) "grep /mnt/dir /etc/mtab" [00:27] <_Whipper__> chris:what chipset was it again? [00:27] ActionParsnip: i get a "description: VGA compatible controller" [00:27] AshKyd: wtg for working it out :D [00:27] dotblank: Destination Host Unreachable [00:27] fearful, E: Couldn't find package linux-atm [00:27] killme101: it should say what nvidia card it is [00:27] ChrisW: ah thats more descriptive :) [00:28] Cool_Nick, that's because its not finding the package not because its not working, you sure you added the right repositories? [00:28] sprinkmeier_: i've used grep before, long ago. I've just never mounted an hfs partition [00:28] ActionParsnip: if i pipe is to less, i can see it. it's a GeForce 8400M GS [00:28] "rephrased question" Is this the command I would use to add a repo to my sources.list without opening /etc/apt/sources.list? sudo bash -c "echo 'deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free' >> /etc/apt/sources.list" [00:28] ChrisW: what is your IP and subnet mask? [00:28] ActionParsnip: I didn't define a default gateway, surely that's DHCP's job? How wouldI check what it thinks the default gateway is? [00:28] fearful, I don't think the package exists for 8.10 and was wondering if it has a new name [00:28] ChrisW: netstat -rn will show you your default gw [00:28] ChrisW: can you see your routers ip address in nthe output of: route [00:28] dotblank: you mean of the box in question? 192.168.1.13, subnet is 255.255.255.0 [00:28] ChrisW: just checking all bases [00:28] fearful, I have all teh ubuntu repositoeis turned on (universe multiverse etc...) [00:29] ChrisW: yes it is dhcp's job but its worth a check [00:29] ChrisW: have you done sudo ifconfig (interface) up [00:29] Cool_Nick, check apt-cache search linux-atm [00:29] <_Whipper__> >more beer and a fag > [00:29] dotblank: was gonna suggest that too ;) [00:29] jrib: ok.. I'm just trying to decypher a samba problem and noticed that most everything was set to 777. I use to be able to access certain shared directories in ~ from a windows VM on the same machine.. now for some reason I can on get into some of them and others I've been locked out of. The vm is on my machine not elsewhere. [00:29] ActionParsnip: route -> one lien starting "default" which does list hte gateway, yes [00:30] all the rest have * in the gateway column [00:30] ActionParsnip: how did that help? [00:30] killme101: looks like the 177 is good for it [00:30] dotblank: yup, runs with no output, makes no difference [00:30] ChrisW -> kindly post your ifconfig; iwconfig; route -n; cat /etc/network/interface; cat /etc/resolv.conf [00:30] ActionParsnip: so, i should try that? how can i deal with the bogus xorg.conf though? [00:31] killme101: sudo apt-get instal nvidia-glx-177 [00:31] n8tuserf: the machine has no network connection, which is the problem, so that's rather difficult... [00:31] killme101: then run: sudo nvidia-xconfig [00:31] killme101: should be ok [00:31] resolv.conf doesn't matter yet, Im onyl using ip addresses [00:31] Hi, i have a question, I have read the ubuntu forums but to no avail have found answer to the following, my USB headset works however it will not work for movies or online flash it used to work fine until i unplugged it once. . . [00:31] Scunizi, permissions mapping between samba and native is non-trivial. was the 777 a result of trying to 'fix' things for samba? [00:31] ChrisW -> you have to do your part, you can always copy it to a usb dongle or manually copy it to paste [00:31] ActionParsnip: because i cant get gnome running i have to somehow get wireless through the commandline. i'm not 100% sure of how to do that [00:32] fearful, didn't know about that command, apparently its now called libatm1. isntalling it now etc... thanks [00:32] ChrisW: ok then dhcp is populating the network settings fully [00:32] ChrisW: try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop" and disabling Network manager by right clicking the applet [00:32] Cool_Nick, no problem, its very useful :) [00:32] '/etc/network/interfaces lists "auto lo\niface li inet loopback" [00:32] sprinkmeier_: no.. must have been from something else.. this particular /home I've had for a couple years through upgrades. So I'm not sure when it happened. [00:33] OH [00:33] ChrisW: once that is done run "sudo ifconfig (interface) up" and then run "sudo dhclient (interface)" [00:33] So, anyone have any experience with logitech usb headsets in ubuntu/linux? [00:33] hello [00:33] ChrisW: whats you interface's name? [00:33] !alsa | sprockets [00:33] sprinkmeier_: weird thing is I've had the ability to access these shares up until a couple weeks ago and then BAM.. some I still could and some I couldn't [00:33] !alsa [00:34] sprockets: 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 [00:34] Scunizi, service pack? update? === c is now known as charitwo [00:34] hey.. I can't full screen streaming videos after I updated flash-nonfree thingy.. why is that? and what can I do to fix it? [00:34] sprinkmeier_: on the windows vm? [00:35] Scunizi, or the host... sometimes patches break things (sometimes they fix things which only work then broken :-) [00:35] Rexie: full screen s a bit wierd for flash-nonfree [00:35] s/then/when/ [00:35] hmm I even tried setting headset to default i dont see file in volume control [00:35] * ChrisW is on the verge of giving this laptop back to its owner and just telling them to put vista back on it :-( [00:36] Is it possible to downgrade 9.04 back to 8.10??? [00:36] sprinkmeier_: could be.. It's just decyphering it and getting it working again so I don't have to sneaker net via gmail anymore.. [00:36] dotblank : I used to do full screen earlier.. but after I updated few stuffs from update manager its not working [00:36] OzFalcon: nope, gotta reinstall [00:36] <_VIM_> !downgrade | OzFalcon [00:36] so much for desktop-ready linux, every single thing I've tried to put linux on has fucked up in some way that has just wasted hours of my time [00:36] is there a way to add deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free from the command line without opening sources.list? [00:36] Dang. [00:36] ChrisW: sigh, how old is your laptop? [00:36] OzFalcon: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [00:36] ChrisW -> watch your language [00:36] no way this is so much better than vista or xp [00:37] just this stupid usb headset issue [00:37] !opera [00:37] <_VIM_> ugh ubottu has like a minute lag [00:37] slow bot [00:37] ActionParsnip: ok, done. how do i restart X when X isn't even started though? [00:37] opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [00:37] <_VIM_> it's not normally slow [00:37] n8tuserf: bite me [00:38] !language [00:38] sprockets, it's different. Whether it's better or not depends on your circumstances. [00:38] dotblank: it's not mine, it had vista on it, it got horribly virus riddled [00:38] I stupidly suggested ubuntu [00:38] ChrisW: at this point I'm sure you have the attention of the ops. watch the language. [00:38] ChrisW, it's really not correct to use bad words in this channel you'll have to go by the rules. [00:38] ActionParsnip: nvm in rebooting [00:38] From the bot : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound does not work [00:38] for me [00:38] which has been the total FAIL you guys have been tryign to help me through [00:38] ChrisW: still what is the make/model or a guess to how old it is? [00:38] ok, what would the command look like to add any repo to the sources.list without actually opening sources.list [00:38] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:38] Anyone just know how to set the default sound device the right way [00:38] I googled it but the command did not do the trick [00:38] exodus_ms: echo "line of text" >> file that adds the line at the en of the file [00:38] <_VIM_> !attitude [00:39] ChrisW look I asked you to post info and you decline because of your lazyniss.. dont blame the folks here [00:39] poor bot forcing it too much [00:39] exodus_ms: sudo echo "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.lst [00:39] wow, if only this many people piped up and actually helped fixing problems rather than whining about netiquette... [00:39] I think ubottu died [00:39] ActionParsnip, that is what I thought but I keep getting a permission denied [00:39] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [00:39] ChrisW: IRC is not an ideal support medium [00:39] ChrisW, remote support is difficult, especially for networking problems. Maybe try a local LUG. [00:39] ChrisW, well then if you want help cooperate [00:39] exodus_ms: make sure you use sudo ;) [00:40] <_VIM_> we're defensive of our OS! You cannot blame us for that :) [00:40] ActionParsnip: the original "freeze" [00:40] *sigh* [00:40] ActionParsnip: that will not work... sudo do not cross shell redirection.... « echo foo | sudo tee -a file » [00:40] ActionParsnip, I did [00:40] * ActionParsnip: the original "freeze" is back when i boot [00:40] no, I'll be honest with people from now on, and just tell them to avoid... [00:40] exodus_ms: what erUSUL said [00:40] Boo I have to make a USB boot key again to install 8.10. [00:41] OzFalcon: you could try a downgrade but it may break your system [00:41] Sigh, could it be that im using the 64 bit version I believe its edgy that is causing this usb headset issue [00:41] * dotblank sigh [00:41] Hi guys ! [00:41] heh, ChrisW's loss ^^ [00:41] I know the USB headset work i just cant tell it when i want it to work [00:41] I am connecting from irssi ! [00:41] erUSUL, ok, so no sudo, got it, thanks, you too ActionParsnip [00:41] <_VIM_> he'll be back under a different nick once he cools down [00:41] ActionParsnip, Well, My system is broken now. It cant be any worse. [00:41] ActionParsnip, How to I do that via net. [00:42] sprockets, props for using 64-bit, but yes, sadly, there are issues (and not only for Linux) on 64-bit platforms [00:42] exodus_ms: it would be : « echo "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list » [00:42] OzFalcon: change repos in sources.lst back yo intrepid and run: sudo apt-get --reinstall ubuntu-desktop|kubuntu-desktop|xubuntu-desktop [00:42] I use 64 bit and mostly works, I have to use the beta flash plugin that is 64 bit [00:42] ta. [00:42] exodus_ms: the -a is really important or you will overwritte the file [00:42] OzFalcon: if stuff is broken when you get back round its all down to you to fix it [00:43] Yeah I use the beta plugin as well, I just cant wrap my head around this problem because it worked flawlessly before I rebooted [00:43] 1st I'd better check for related issues before I do that. Perhaps someone has already solved. [00:43] OzFalcon: its not supported, its not advised but thats how you CAN do it, you will also need to remove the jaunty kernel [00:43] Oh well lame laptop speakers ftw [00:43] erUSUL, okay, that worked and i remembered the -a This will work for any repository I wish to add in the future, correct? [00:43] maybe someone else has an idea. here's the situation: i removed all nvidia, then installed nvidia-glx-177 using apt-get for my geforce 8400m gs. now, when i boot, after the ubuntu load screen with the bar, i just get an empty black screen instead of gdm. anyone have ideas? [00:43] _VIM_: for market share reasons, I guess people should use Opera instead of some other browser, instead of Firefox [00:43] ftw? [00:43] exodus_ms: yep [00:44] erUSUL, thanks again [00:44] _VIM_: uhmmmm I had my client on wrong place [00:44] _VIM_: that was a while ago [00:44] <_VIM_> woah sebsebseb that Opera convo was over 30 mins ago ;) [00:44] Pollywog, for the win. [00:44] sprockets: wish I had a usb headset to try [00:44] _VIM_: something like that, I was scrolled up in konversation [00:44] oh I thought only the FreeBSD folks said ftw [00:44] <_VIM_> sebsebseb: hehe [00:44] killme101: if you restart x server when the black screen happens do you get anything? [00:44] exodus_ms: also you can create a file.list (for example opera.list) in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ with just that line [00:44] sprockets: whats the output of dmesg | tail when you plig in your headset [00:44] USB headsets are nice [00:44] I had a friend with one [00:44] exodus_ms: is a cleaner aproach [00:45] usb headsets add unnecessary complication [00:45] Advice on USB Headsets: Don't twist the cord idly. It breaks. [00:45] whose done creating a new initrd a simple one I hope and made it work with the kernel from upgrades or livecd? can you kindly give me some pointers? [00:45] hmm firefox 307 just came out on APT for intrepid [00:45] _VIM_: well what I was saying though... ,but Opera is closed source and so hum [00:45] ActionParsnip: i can't do *any* thing. it doesnt respond even to ctrl-alt-bksp, or to ctrl-alt-f [00:45] erUSUL, as opposed to just adding random repos the bottom of the list? [00:45] my attempt to create an initrd causes kernel panic yuk! [00:45] killbillkill, REISUB? [00:45] n8tuserf: update-initramfs ? mkinitramfs ? [00:45] killme101: is are numlock and capslock keys flashing [00:45] exodus_ms: yep [00:45] <_VIM_> sebsebseb: that's Opera's only downfall... sadly, Lets hope that some day soon they will open up a bit :) [00:46] erUSUL -> mkinitramfs [00:46] dotblank: no, or i would have told u it's a kernel panic ;) [00:46] killme101: you could try booting to recovery root console and run: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; rm ~/.nvidia*; sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:46] ok if a computer is really slow on 3GB RAM that runs Ubuntu, what to do? I looked on Google and it seems could be a bug with kernel or something [00:46] ActionParsnip: okay [00:46] killme101: that will clear out any nvidia stuff and you can configure from scratch [00:47] ActionParsnip: allright. so i'll do that, and it SHOULD work w/o nvidia. then i can try installing nvidia as you talked about before, roger? [00:47] killme101: i'd also run: sudo apt-get clean [00:47] n8tuserf: well i use it for building the initrd's of the vanilla kernels i compile... but i do not configure it specially i just do "sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-kernel_version kernel_version" [00:47] sebsebseb, might not be a RAM limitation. updatedb sometimes really grinds my system, mostly disk IO [00:47] ActionParsnip: allright [00:47] erUSUL, will do that as well, something like this echo "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list/opera.list ? [00:47] n8tuserf: where kernel_version is 2.6.29-rc7 for example [00:47] killme101: yeah, it just wipes out all nvidia things so you can setup again [00:48] sprinkmeier_: I think I figured it out and thought I'd pass it along. At one point I had Win2kPro map one of the shares as a network drive. When I removed that mapping ALL the shares started working again.. :/ [00:48] exodus_ms: yes. but if you are cratting the file the -a is not needed (it does not harm though) [00:48] killme101: you could also do this "sudo mv /etc/xorg.conf ~/xorg.bak && sudo nvidia-xconfig" [00:49] sprinkmeier_: well this guy (I am vncing securely :) SSH :d ) might have to distro change, because of that [00:49] hi all, is it possible to set individual wallpapers for each workspace somehow? [00:49] exodus_ms: is /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ <<<< [00:49] dotblank: nvidia-xconfig already screwed up my xorg.conf massively, so it's not very much use to run it AGAIN [00:49] filthpig: sadly not in gnome.. yet [00:49] exodus_ms: note the .d [00:49] killme101: well i wouldn't do it again then [00:49] killme101: :) [00:49] yes not in Gnome though you can do it in KDE [00:49] killme101: i'd get the nvidia stuff off then build up from there, maybe theres a quirk or 2 with the card you have [00:50] diff wallpapers for diff desktops [00:50] dotblank: :-P. I'm just trying what ActionParsnip suggested [00:50] sebsebseb, does 'top' highlight any culprits? does the system loose time (kernel lockup while doing disk io or somesuch, use hrparm to cure)? [00:50] killme101: you could try downloading the 180.* drivers [00:50] ActionParsnip: the odd thing is that it worked just fine until today! [00:50] just installed 8.10 stuido 64bit and start up gets stuck at powernowd [00:50] killme101: well what changed? [00:50] can anyone help? [00:50] !question [00:51] ActionParsnip: it stopped working :-P I don't recall doing anything out of the ordinary [00:51] erUSUL, echo "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera.list will append a section "opera.list' to my current sources.list correct? [00:51] <_VIM_> sebsebseb: how are you VNCing with ssh? I do it like this, is it right? ssh -t -L 5900:localhost:5900 farawayuser@192.168.192.196 'x11vnc -ncache 20 -localhost -display :0' [00:51] mib_81o0a9: boot with acpi off kernel option [00:51] okay.. Too bad I prefer gnome over KDE ;) Although I'll give to KDE that it is a lot more flexible than gnome.. Yet, all in all, I like the simplicity in gnome.. except a few details such as this [00:51] in gpg is there any way to import a key that is not self-signed? [00:51] mib_81o0a9: you may need to get fully updated to fix it [00:51] how do i do that? [00:51] mib_81o0a9: you sure its not jaunty. I used to get that error [00:51] exodus_ms: yes [00:51] _VIM_: i'll get the guy to join here, it's ashame to get another distro, because of that issue really [00:51] !bootoptions | mib_81o0a9 [00:51] 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. :-) [00:51] _VIM_: oh and his wireless woudn't just work in Ubuntu, but it will in Mandriva [00:51] filthpig: you can do this in compiz if you don't care about desktop icons. Otherwise, google wallpapoz [00:52] <_VIM_> sebsebseb: then once im in i type vncviewer localhost , anyways works for me :) [00:52] mib_81o0a9: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [00:52] <_Whipper__> Fxce :) thats the way u go :) [00:52] wow ubottu is slow [00:52] im sure its 8.10 [00:52] erUSUL, got it, and not using -a will not overwrite the current file because of .d ? [00:52] !hi | dotblank [00:52] hi, all [00:52] <_VIM_> jussi01_: are you up? ubottu is like one minute lagging for everyone [00:53] dotblank, please see my private message [00:53] !coffee [00:53] exodus_ms: no; you are creating and entairly *new* text file hence there is nothing to overwritte [00:53] see if coffee will help [00:53] <_Whipper__> !beer [00:53] ubottu is eating and chatting [00:53] wow at least 20 seconds lag [00:53] exodus_ms: and you do not need the -a [00:53] ActionParsnip: well, it works fine after i removed anything and everything nvidia [00:53] eating virtual donuts [00:53] _VIM_: they do two terminals [00:53] I'm sure that the bot lagging is going to be even better when people keep requesting silly factoids./ [00:53] killme101: thats because you are using the nv driver [00:53] how can i determine my ethernet vendor? Like on my mobo. [00:53] ActionParsnip: it's just missing any video card now ;). so i should do the apt-get way and install nvidia-glx-177? [00:53] keres: lspci [00:53] keres: lspci [00:54] _VIM_: terminal 1: ssh -L 5500:127.0.0.1:5500 -p 22 theirusername@myipaddress [00:54] keres: "lshw -C Network" or "lspci | grep -i net" [00:54] tried installing Intrepid on an older Dell, P4, 1GB RAM, Intel graphics; and it freezes on login [00:54] killme101: sounds like a plan; sudo sudo apt-get clean first [00:54] thats wats up yo [00:54] <_VIM_> sebsebseb: that's what i do the second terminal is for doing vncviewer localhost [00:54] erUSUL, ok, am i trying you crazy yet? I was under the impression that this would append to my current sources.list which is already populated with repos [00:54] ActionParsnip: i did [00:54] coffee is a caffeinated beverage made by filtering hot water through ground up roasted beans of the coffee plant. Flavouring to taste such as milk or cream, sugar or sweetener are often added afterwards. Not to be confused with !java [00:54] Beer is always appreciated. [00:54] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:54] I didn't know i could send all you guys a virus.. [00:54] <_Whipper__> How can i turn my cellphone to a Hot-Spot ?-) [00:54] _VIM_: yeah and changing the port from 22 to something else would be more secure [00:54] nothingman: did you md5 check your downloaded ISO as well as verify the installcd was ok at the first cd boot screen? [00:54] Whipper: .... What. [00:54] blah [00:55] <_VIM_> sebsebseb: hrrmmm yeah [00:55] exodus_ms: no the other method « echo "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list » [00:55] _VIM_: who do you do that with by the way? [00:55] CompuHacker: thats what I almost said [00:55] !topic [00:55] exodus_ms: will add that to sources.list [00:55] <_VIM_> i closed 5900 as its no longer needed with the tunneling sebsebseb [00:55] <_Whipper__> Compu: just a joke :) [00:55] dotblank: Say it faster next time [00:55] Action: no, but I tried installing twice from different dics [00:55] I just have a quick question. I'm configuring my virtual box for usb support following these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox#USB . I'm to the instruction about editing permissions but I'm not sure whether it wants me to replace the usb permissions with the given code or simply add the given code alongside the existing one. [00:55] _VIM_: yep only need SSH port open [00:55] *discs* [00:55] when ones does ls -l, there are 7 columns displayed [00:55] <_VIM_> sebsebseb: my other computer (the laptop) [00:55] nothingman: if yu didnt md5 them they could both be bad [00:55] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [00:55] what are the 2 columns that say root? [00:55] nothingman: md5 checks are crucial [00:55] Sarai, make a backup and try both ways [00:55] erUSUL, and the other will simply create a sources.list.d for a specific section, in this case opera [00:56] daftykins: lol, fair enough [00:56] exodus_ms: the cleaner method of using one file per repo in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ is new [00:56] nothingman: you could try some boot options to see if your system will boot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [00:56] ubottu: sounds good how about a cup! [00:56] anyone know how I can run chatzilla without opening firefox? [00:56] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:56] ActionParsnip: ok it's installing. the weird thing is, at first, this computer impressed me with how fast it caught both the proprietarty wireless driver and the nvidia one, then just magically worked from there. i guess it realized the right way computers are supposed to "work" today [00:56] exodus_ms: exactly [00:56] jrib: wallpapoz seems to be a nice choice as I kinda like having desktop icons ;) thanks for the tip, I'll give it a look-see during the weekend I guess [00:56] erUSUL -> i got disconnected.. [00:56] erUSUL -> umm I forgot to mention when copying devices into /dev/ there are no /dev/ramdisk to copy over so i wonder if thats the cause of failure.. [00:56] erUSUL -> perhaps i should rephrase, when you create your initrd, which /dev/ram* do you copy over? [00:57] killme101: vista did it. with its rpc gossip [00:57] ActionParsnip: it installs fine, boots all the way to gdm, and only when I login am I unable to do anything [00:57] erUSUL, ok, that is where ai was confused, I thought the method you were explaing would 'add' a section to the current sources.list for 'opera.list' [00:57] <_Whipper__> makedev [00:57] filthpig: there were some patches at some point so nautilus could draw the desktop with a transparent wallpaper, but I don't know what happened to them (check the gnome tracker) [00:57] dotblank: T_T curse you, M$!! [00:57] n8tuserf: as i said i just run the command i do not modify its behavior in any way [00:57] is software raid0 pretty easy to do in ubuntu? [00:57] nothingman: does it happen if you make a new user? [00:57] _VIM_: pm me [00:57] IdentifyTarget: no [00:57] <_VIM_> ok [00:57] n8tuserf: i just do "sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-kernel_version kernel_version" [00:57] hm, good q [00:57] erUSUL -> oh okay, i thought you have customized it.. thanks for the response [00:57] christ.... [00:58] !raid | IdentifyTarget [00:58] !raid0 [00:58] fail [00:58] jrib: my wild guess is that gnome will officially add these functions with gnome 3 [00:58] IdentifyTarget: raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [00:58] n8tuserf: take alook in /etc/initramfs-tools/ [00:58] lag.

Lets stop now before this gets lost in IRCtranslation :) thanks again for your help [00:58] AHH [00:58] LOL [00:58] GASP [00:58] !raid > IdentifyTarget [00:58] * dotblank scared [00:59] IdentifyTarget, if all you want is bigger disks then maybe LVM is sufficient. More flexible than RAID, but no physical striping to no performance benefit. [00:59] exodus_ms: no problem [00:59] erUSUL: he;s not here ;) [00:59] IdentifyTarget: no need for that. [00:59] hmm. I'll google LVM, don't know what it is [00:59] * erUSUL doh [00:59] ActionParsnip: the xorg.conf doesn't look any different at all, but it gave me an error when it was generated -> Data incomplete in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

[00:59] how can I run chatzilla without opening firefox? [00:59] <_Whipper__> dont mess with RAID if u dont know what LVM is.. [00:59] killme101: dont sweat it, restart x if you just ran nvidia-xconfig [00:59] IdentifyTarget: patience is a virtue. without it, you will fail. :) [00:59] Pollywog, yes, I do it all the time. [01:00] IdentifyTarget: pain and dataloss await you [01:00] sprinkmeier_: ty [01:00] ActionParsnip: ok. by restart x u mean ctrl-alt-bksp, right? [01:00] fearful: impossible, chatzilla is a plugin for firefox, so firefox must run [01:00] fearful: I made an icon in Gnome with "/usr/bin/mozilla --chat" as the command [01:00] killme101: basicly [01:00] killme101: yes [01:00] Hey everyone [01:00] ActionParsnip: hung black screen :-/ [01:00] hunter__: hi!

Can anyone advise how to fix? I ran gparted thinking it might help if I removed the unwated linux partition on hd3 but I'm not seeing it. I only see it in partition magic in Windos, and PM can't remove it [01:02] anyone have an idea any idea about why Ubuntu lags so bad on my HP G60? [01:02] ActionParsnip: i'm wondering whether i should just back up all my data and reinstall ubuntu >_< [01:02] I've done all the updates [01:02] nothingman: indeed === help is now known as Guest81547 [01:02] killme101: you could try some boot options [01:02] killme101, if there's one thing i've learnt with ubuntu, it's that you should never consider a single installation permanent :P [01:02] hunter__: lack of ram? [01:03] <_VIM_> hunter__: have you disabled extra effects yet? [01:03] can any one help me install empire total war on ubuntu [01:03] hunter__: bad hard disk [01:03] !hi [01:03] I hav 3 GB of RAM [01:03] daftykins: that's why i take a reinstallation pretty lightly ;) [01:03] have* [01:03] ActionParsnip: what do you mean?

I thought that was a high end graphics card?

[01:07] Dr Willis, how often do you see the term "Linux Game" pop up? [01:07] CompuHacker, there are linux games tho.. [01:07] Yeah. Give me a percentage. [01:07] hey, I have a question regarding FDISK and GPARTED; one sees my partitions, the other doesn't [01:07] 0.01% of games. [01:07] CompuHacker, several times..

I just need one thing. What's the quickest easiest FTP sever to install? All i need, is a single user to be able to upload files to a single directory. Security really isn't an issue (i know that sounds horrible, but i need this kinda quick, so the more complicated it gets, the worse) I just need it to accept files from either anonymous or a user i create. VSFTPD's conf file didn't leave me very happy. Any suggestions? [01:11] Now when you say "FTP" [01:12] CompuHacker: while waiting on hold for 10 minutes at a time .. you learn to multitask several things.. the "least of which" is Goo.. it's still fun [01:12] You mean "Food Transfer Pallete", right? [01:12] ftp protocols [01:12] file transfer ;) [01:12] ;P [01:12] <_Whipper__> Ish: id use Skype :) [01:12] CompuHacker: maybe calling it relaxing is a better way of putting it :) [01:12] if i could transfer food, i'd be rich [01:12] fearful: if you like shary fps games get penumbra, its my favourite linux game [01:12] the program i'm using on the other end requires an ftp server...

[01:33] I ran stage6 on linux and created a clone of stage6 for use on my lan to share movies, totem will open where stage6 was [01:33] Hello, I would like to modify the default size of the X11 terminal window in which gnuplot plots. Is it possible? [01:33] andybond13: any command with partitions needs sudo, even to display [01:34] Does anybody know if there's a way to make the touchpad on a notebook multitouch like the new Macbooks? [01:34] I know [01:34] hey guys can u explain me how to plugin totem to browser [01:34] and I did, but gparted doesn't see it === Wowbagger is now known as UdontKnow [01:34] <_Whipper__> xfm: yes [01:34] Alright, I'm getting quite irritated. I can't find a way to use a HashMap or Unordered Set in C++ [01:34] _Whipper__: how? [01:34] andybond13: what are you wanting to do with your partitions? [01:34] jumbers: that might be a hardware and softwareissue, but mainly it has to do with the bios [01:35] <_Whipper__> xfm: dunno, but i know theres a way :) [01:35] dotblank: I would think it would have to do with the way Ubuntu interprets inputs from the touchpad [01:35] multi-touch is defined by the touchpad i think [01:35] has to be capable of multiple inputs, which they're not really designed to do i'd imagine [01:36] jumbers: If the bios is emulateing the touchpad as a ps/2 mouse, then no way, but I don't think there are drivers that support that [01:36] _Whipper__: I know the "size" function in gnuplot but it just zoom the graph without changing the size of the window in which the graph is plotted. I have to expand the window each time... [01:36] install debian on half of a hard drive [01:36] which already has windows 7 on the other half [01:36] <_Whipper__> xfm: what graph do u use?

[01:37] Does anyone know how to implement ext::hash_map, boost::unorderedset, or google::dense_hash_map? I cant find any examples or useful documentation anywhere. [01:37] andybond13: use gparted in the livecd to resize the partitions after backing up your data just incase and make some unallocated space, the debian installer will offer to use it === Bishop_Zahira is now known as kdmarlow [01:37] andybond13 according to your fdisk dump it looks like you've already got the partitions? [01:37] Nevermind, it's not an ubuntu issue. [01:38] actionparsnip, scooma, yeah they're there, but the debian installer doesn't see them [01:38] how do I use the livecd? [01:39] you'd download it and burn it... then you boot from it [01:39] you mean the ubuntu install cd [01:39] andybond13: doesnt see what? [01:39] <_Whipper__> gdmn,, more beer and then some pizza.. 2min sleep and back to work.. [01:39] andybond13: yes use ubuntu livecd to resize [01:39] the partitions, the debian installer, like gparted, sees it all as unallocated [01:39] evolution in hardy would go offline when network manager was disconnected (e.g. on suspend) and then wait to go back online until network-manager had a connection again. i upgraded to intrepid and evolution doesn't do this anymore. does anybody have a fix? [01:39] Anyone know of a motherboard selection tool? Specifically I'm looking for a small form factor (micro atx, mini itx etc), 802.11n, SSD (possibly SD card) booting, 1080p video out [01:40] how would the ubuntu livecd be any different than the debian one? [01:40] !debian [01:40] Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process.

It's booting over the network. === JanC_ is now known as JanC [01:51] Huufarted: you may have to go into your bios and look for a PXE boot option [01:51] pestilence, I don't have a 'syslog' folder in /var/log [01:51] Huufarted: does it run PXE? [01:51] dotblank, I don't know. I'm going to assume no since it doesn't get that far. [01:52] dotblank: at least I see nothing about PXE unless it flashed too fast. rebooting to try and see again [01:52] Huufarted: can you get a boot list? ex f12 [01:52] when installing LAMP on ubuntu, when can you configure which folder the mysql db's can go to? [01:52] rayne_: it's not a folder, it's a file, and you have to view it using sudo (or use the system->administration->system log route) [01:52] dotblank, rechecking. [01:52] rm -R ubuntuChatRoom [01:53] ha! xfm [01:53] Huufarted: Usually you can see PXE do its thing cause dhcp is slow sometimes [01:53] xfm: What are you trying to do? [01:53] rm -R xfm [01:53] dotblank, that was it. [01:53] sudo !! [01:53] dotblank, I stand corrected. [01:53] Huufarted: works now [01:53] ok I go to bed [01:53] bye [01:53] bye' [01:53] dotblank, yeah I'm at a boot: prompt. The only problem is I forgot to extract the .iso to the tftp directory lol [01:53] whoa [01:53] pestilence, How do I back out of my user folder in terminal? I can't remember how to get back to where var is [01:53] actionparsnip, I have mounted the iso, now what [01:53] Huufarted: ISO! [01:54] Huufarted: ubuntu offers a netboot image [01:54] dotblank, understood. [01:54] Huufarted: are you working with LTSP? [01:54] i am trying to use a driver for ubuntu 6.06 in ubuntu 8.10 from this link: http://touchkit.com/Drivers.htm#ub [01:54] will this be a problem? it uses kernel headers [01:55] rayne_: cd /var/log ? [01:55] e3co, don't know what LTSP is so I'm going to guess no [01:55] Huufarted: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz is what you want [01:55] Huufarted: oh netboot === phrac_ is now known as phrac [01:55] Huufarted: nevermind [01:56] pestilence, I swear that didn't work the first time I tried it. [01:56] dotblank, understood. Good thing you stopped me, i was using the one from Hardy [01:57] i am trying to use a driver for ubuntu 6.06 in ubuntu 8.10 from this link: http://touchkit.com/Drivers.htm#ub [01:57] will this be a problem? it uses kernel headers [01:57] bohemian_: if its to be compiled then it will work fine [01:57] dotblank, how is it going to do a full installation from a 9 meg download? [01:57] witch drivers i need to download for Nvidia FX5200 [01:57] Huufarted: it pulls packages from the internet [01:58] dotblank, gotcha [01:58] ActionParsnip: it is not, i keep getting error while compiling it [01:58] is there anyone here on ubuntu 6.06 that can compile a driver for me? [01:58] bohemian_: can yo pastebin them. im gonna nip to bed [01:59] <---uses 8.10 & Jaunty [01:59] !6.06 [01:59] btw... irssi is one of the best packages ever written. [01:59] Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. See !lts for more details. [01:59] Huufarted: that tar file is pretty easy all you have to do is extract that to tftpboot [01:59] bohemian_: compile it in virtualbox [01:59] dotblank, already doing that. [01:59] will that work? [01:59] Huufarted: if used with GNU Screen it's awesome :) [01:59] it will need compiling with your kernel headers to work dude [01:59] dotblank, if I choose a 'cli' install, does that equate to server? [01:59] so you need to resolve the errors [01:59] e3co: is that a package in ubuntu [01:59] bohemian_: whats it for? [01:59] eseven73, GNU screen? [02:00] !screen [02:00] Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [02:00] ActionParsnip: it's a driver for touchscreen [02:00] bohemian_: ah [02:00] Huufarted: its basicly an install without anything ubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-server [02:00] eseven73: checking it out now [02:00] There is a good irssi+screen tutorial at http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi [02:00] dotblank, ok [02:00] i am experiencing difficulties with my Nvidia [02:01] ActionParsnip: i got the driver from here: http://touchkit.com/Drivers.htm#ub [02:01] my sound stop to work (i believe VMware is causing the problem). Is there any way to restart the sound without rebooting? [02:01] Huufarted: I like netbooting cause it give you wayyy more options [02:01] following the guide i encounter errors on the make new command [02:01] bohemian_: can you pastebin your compile errors [02:01] dotblank, this is really humorous... it's not finding my network adapter [02:01] ouch... [02:01] !paste [02:01] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [02:01] chetnick you can try to unload the kernel modules for sound and re load them [02:01] dotblank, you know... THE ONE IT BOOTED OFF OF. *chuckle* [02:01] Huufarted: well that is a problem [02:02] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/d7e813949 [02:02] Huufarted: get better hardware or compile custom kernel? [02:02] Some sound issues I have not been able to rectify without a reboot. [02:02] bohemian_: yeah but goto the Sun microsystems virtualbox site. Get it. Install it. Install 6.06 then compile it in the virtual machine. Share a folder, and add it to your system. But if I were you I would just try to compile it after making a backup [02:02] lol dotblank. It's not bad hardware. It's an Asus eee === valles_ is now known as effie_jayx [02:02] Huufarted: ah that explains it [02:03] dotblank, why? Have you dealt with them/ [02:03] ActionParsnip: that's what i get on the first command "make new" base on the guide [02:03] Huufarted: try it with another computer... no not really, Ive dealt with acer aspire though [02:03] bohemian_: it says it can't find tclsh [02:03] yes, is that a file? [02:03] Anyone seen an 8.10 issue where you could not reset a password. Passwd fails, sudo passwd fails and System->users and groups fails to reset the password. [02:04] bohemian_: if you run: aptcache search tclsh you will see you need to run: sudo apt-get install tcl8.5 [02:04] Huufarted: havn't use the eeepc much.. you might have to add modules into initrd. buts thats complicated [02:04] bohemian_: ignore everything i said === rachel is now known as Guest63185 [02:04] dotblank, try it with another computer? lol well i can't really do that. I don't have that option. I mean I could use a CD drive with an IDE-USB adapter, but I'm going to toy with this for a bit. I'll let you know what I find. [02:04] ActionParsnip: oh i see.. [02:04] e3co: why? [02:04] Huufarted: k [02:05] I miss understood you and my way wouldn't work any ways. a waste of time [02:05] bohemian_: the error tells you useful info, as you are compiling you need to get what the package needs to compile manually [02:05] bohemian_: you may need tcl8.5-dev [02:05] e3co: i see thanks, noted it for future use [02:05] bohemian_: I am generally more useful :) [02:05] bohemian_: which i dont see on the repo so you will need to get that manually too [02:05] ActionParsnip: thanks, i just don't know where to go, Ubuntu total noob [02:05] hi everyone [02:06] <---generally pretty useless [02:06] I couldn't agree more. [02:06] bohemian_: you have a lot to learn quick if you are doing this straight away, i'd just get used to using the system a bit rather than mess with that sort of thing [02:06] hey all, just got a quick question... is there at all a difference between adobe-flashplugin and flashplugin-nonfree <--- which should i have installed [02:07] Snaj: same thing [02:07] ok thanks :) why are two shown btw? [02:07] Snaj: adobe make flash and its (unfortunately) proprietary so isn't free [02:07] and is the nonfree just a wrapper to dl it from the adobe site? [02:07] i managed to save the ubuntu partition on my old drive, how can i clone it to a new and bigger drive, can anyone help me? [02:07] ActionParsnip: ok hold on i'll just see what i will happen next, i badly need this driver and no compiled driver in the supplier site [02:07] ERROR: nvidia-installer must be run as root how can i run it as root? [02:07] if i get the adobe-flashplugin... will that be more direct? [02:07] Snaj: it'll download the plugin from adobe.com for you. i always do it manual style [02:08] Snaj: they will be identical [02:08] oh ok, i was just curious since the sizes were diff in the package manage [02:08] r\ [02:08] Snaj: try them both, see whats different [02:09] ok thanks for your help :D [02:09] ActionParsnip: can you take a look on this guide to see what else should encounter along the process using a stock ubuntu 8.10 installation? http://touchkit.com/proi/drive/Installation%20Note.pdf [02:09] ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; what is X server [02:09] <---forced to work on windows servers [02:10] what is the path to the directory containing man files?

[02:12] elviz1975: what ur problem ? [02:12] melik: /usr/share/man/ seems to contain the files [02:12] melik: /usr/share/doc/ i think [02:12] Dillizar, what's wrong with the v177 driver? [02:13] daftykins, i need 173 or smt like that [02:13] what is getcwd? [02:13] well, i'm not sure itachi. i made some changes to menu.lst and now get a grub error 11 [02:13] when booting [02:13] bohemian_: Get curerent working directory [02:13] sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-173 [02:13] anybody here ever install bugzilla? im getting internal server error [02:13] So I put a new partition into fstab, and i told it to mount at /home ... when i try to log in, it says Cannot enter home directory. Using /. So I entered failsafe and edited fstab to mount the disk in /mnt but I still get the error, what am i doing wrong. [02:13] elviz1975: what up with ur menu.lst? [02:13] dotblank: i see, so i just need to point to the right directory, thanks [02:14] or not [02:14] i think you need to actually create a config for it to run Athenon [02:14] daftykins: i didnt in the lab we did today...and it created a default config. [02:14] you're doing labs with Ubuntu? [02:15] not at Uni in England are you ^_^ [02:15] @itachi once all is reliable after install, i like to simplify menu.lst to make it cleaner [02:15] no. this is aside from the lab though. the lab inspired me to setup my own dns server [02:15] but bind refuses to run [02:15] is this ubuntu server? [02:15] hi... anyone have sis 672 driver? [02:15] yep [02:15] and removed all except main ubuntu and win xp from the list [02:15] Athenon: what school do you goto? [02:15] run 8.04 LTS [02:15] university of houston at victoria [02:15] it'll be around longer than 8.10 server iirc [02:16] elviz1975: the answer is.......... re-install :P lol [02:16] there's no point running your own DNS server though [02:16] maybe i should go with a "default" menu.lst? [02:16] daftykins: yes there is [02:16] what is grub error 11? [02:16] anyone here installed bugzilla? [02:16] daftykins: ive had the same errors with other programs. it still needs to be fixed, unfortunately [02:16] not really dotblank [02:16] oh right, that's odd then [02:16] what happened to the vmware-player package? it seems to have disappeared [02:17] daftykins: if you run an intranet or have a parked domain [02:17] So I put a new partition into fstab, and i told it to mount at /home ... when i try to log in, it says Cannot enter home directory. Using /. So I entered failsafe and edited fstab to mount the disk in /mnt but I still get the error, what am i doing wrong. [02:17] Hi everyone, good night. I was hopping ypu can helpe with a weird problem in the Update Manager, this is the issue---> Information on the packages were updated XX days ago; this is showed even after i update my GNU/Linux a few minutes ago [02:17] dotblank, i was clearly assuming his setup to just be at home as he said, i'm not talking about other situations [02:17] daftykins: the kernel logger daemon also refuses to run, for instance [02:17] is there a xamp/wamp equilievant for linux users , an apache server with pre configured configs and a friendly gui :) ? [02:17] daftykins: he has the best reason, to learn :) [02:18] dotblank, i don't appreciate you telling me this kind of thing.

[02:19] daftykins: server only. :P [02:19] heh i did my Uni final project on Xen [02:19] Hi everyone, good night. I was hopping you can help me with a weird problem in the Update Manager, this is the issue---> Information on the packages were updated XX days ago; this is showed even after i update my GNU/Linux a few minutes ago [02:19] If you run your computer, turn it off, then unplug it, if the hard drive is too hot to touch is that too hot?

For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [02:39] wait yes.

[02:44] does anyone have sis672 display driver? [02:44] bejostobbo: i don't believe there is one.. could be wrong. [02:44] bejostobbo, what is on sis's web site?

[02:50] sounds complicated but after a few times of doing it, it becomes second nature [02:50] hello, is there anyone that knows how to install multiple boot on a usb? [02:50] danes_, do you already have a boot on the usb? [02:51] bohemian_, can you pastebin Makefile [02:51] Scooma, yes [02:51] danes_: ubottu: 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 [02:51] Scooma: sorry. i'm new with ubuntu and linux. i don't understand at all [02:52] also !dualboot [02:52] DasE1, I already have it. But I need to install other distributions [02:53] usser: http://pastebin.com/d1fafa4ac [02:53] danes_, is it a windows or ubuntu boot? [02:53] I have been looking for days trying several methods, but none of those works [02:53] Scooma, it can be both [02:53] danes_:complete description of your project ? [02:53] bejostobbo, then best wait a little bit? [02:54] !adblock [02:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about adblock [02:54] bohemian_, do you have tclsh? type tclsh on the terminal. does your prompt change? [02:54] I want to include p-magic, ubuntu, and fedora on a usb, and have a partition in fat32 for the rest of my files [02:54] bejostobbo, but if you want to do it yourself, learn how to compile the driver, and then learn how to integrate the driver file (typically the *.ko) into the kernel... it's a good thing to learn [02:54] usser: here's the makefile inside utility/ folder http://pastebin.com/d35ccb52 [02:55] Scooma, I installed it using unetbootin [02:55] danes_, okay so does the usb boot with grub? [02:55] danes_, okay great [02:55] bohemian_, last pastebin is invalid, [02:55] usser: i get % in the command prompt [02:55] bohemian_, [02:55] bohemian_, can you run ./configure ? [02:55] usser: http://pastebin.com/d35ccb521 [02:55] Scooma: it's nice chalenge. i'll love it... [02:56] danes_, what you need to do is learn how to use grub (how to edit the menu.lst), and add in different sections that point at different partitions on the usb key [02:56] bohemian_, looks fine [02:56] Scooma, not really sure :s. I read somewhere that renaming ubninit and ubnkern, and pointing in syslinux.cfg to the kernels of the extra image I want to load [02:56] bejostobbo, once you get the hang of it, it really is quite simple. i do it all the time for my scsi cards (they're unsupported in the kernel, but that's fine) [02:57] the thing is that it does not work that way :( [02:57] usser: i ran ./configure inside tclsh, i get invalid command name "./configure" [02:57] bohemian_, no quit tclsh [02:57] bohemian_, run ./configure from the directory where the Makefile is [02:58] Scooma, by any chance do you know where can I find a tutorial or manual on using grub? [02:58] usser: bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [02:58] what happened to the vmware-player package? it seems to have disappeared :( [02:58] danes_, mostly from ubuntu.com, put grub in the search box and away you go! :) [02:58] danes_, i recommend 1st) learning how the file structure of the menu.lst is [02:59] bohemian_, you're probably missing some dependencies, but since they dont have a configure file its hard to tell which ones [02:59] danes_, then learning how you can add new entries to point at the different partitions [02:59] bohemian_, try emailing the developers, ask what it needs to compile [02:59] usser: oh no... [03:00] usser: i see 6 config files in the makefile drectory [03:00] Weird errors at bootup...seems kernel related....anybody have any ideas? http://pastebin.com/m26e0d75a [03:00] uibuntu :) [03:00] bohemian_, can you pastebin the results of ls -al in that directory? [03:01] bohemian_, im sorry i'm not that much help. i just dont feel like compiling that stuff myself, [03:01] usser: total 0 [03:01] danes_, if after that, it isn't working, you might want to ask in #grub (or some irc channel) about specific issues to the partition (you should have error messages) [03:01] bohemian_, eh? in the directory where your sources and Makefile is? [03:02] usser: yes, anyway just letting you know the guide and package is for ubuntu 6.06 === mib_vo2rqhap is now known as ILoveBuxCutthuz [03:04] does that make a difference? [03:04] Athenon, sorry can't open at the moment can you give me one line? [03:04] hello [03:05] dear all [03:05] i got postfix problem [03:05] can anyone help me?

[fail] <--------- hangs for like 5 minutes before failing [03:06] i have a machine that's unwilling to boot from CD. i think i can boot it off a USB nerdstick, though. is there an ubuntu install image for nerdsticks? [03:06] Athenon, sounds like your fstab (file mounting instructions) is having a problem with where your logging directory is supposed to go [03:06] Athenon, did you add a disk recently? [03:06] Scooma: nope. its a vps. [03:06] Scooma: it literally was working great, then all of a sudden i killed the mysql processes, rebooted to try to get them back, and all hell broke loose :S [03:07] evilgeek, use unetbootin to build a usb boot image. try getting easy peasy (small asus eee specific ubuntu live image) and use that [03:08] Scooma, this appears to be what i'm having - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/260687 [03:08] cool.

[03:09] keanu, can you priv msg it to me? I cannot use firefox at the moment [03:10] i have question about backtrace [03:10] hi, I'm trying to run a Mono app, but I'm getting errors about Mono not being properly installed. I thought Mono was supposed to be installed on Ubuntu by default. What do I need to apt-get/aptitude to fix this? [03:10] exit [03:11] Athenon, so your system boots okay apart from the hang?

[03:12] and your dmesg (yes, /etc/fstab thanks) [03:12] does 9.04 have a dedicated channel? [03:12] can someone tell me how to get Mono installed properly?

[03:13] I tried to run a program that was written for Mono, but it's giving me weird messages about how Mono is not properly installed === rachel is now known as Guest76637 [03:13] I thought Mono was installed by default, or rather it should be [03:14] Scooma: http://pastebin.com/m11a573b0 [03:14] if the package is mono-common I have that installed [03:14] Scooma: or...postbin?

[03:18] Scooma, I have to boot into recovery mode to do that, since I can't without root [03:19] crdlb : I am having a brief lag, especially when I type on skype it takes longer for the message to send, however, web pages load very quickly [03:19] how do i get a list of running apache modules?

[03:20] keanu, you're going to need a live cd then I'm guessing? can someone else suggest a workaround? keanu's pam is segfaulting so he can't auth a package remove/reinstall [03:20] Jordan_U: did you get the pastebin?

I'm looking to see if there is a package for it [03:21] i mounted /dev/sda3 in /home and it says can enter home directory [03:21] intel core duo cpu [03:21] I'll ask again: [03:21] can [03:21] t [03:21] After I install a font in Ubuntu, do I need to keep the .tff file in its original location?

[03:23] Scooma: yep. it was originally 7.04...upgraded to 7.10, then 8.04....then that worked fine for a few months, then the error randomly started...so u pgraded to 8.10 to try to fix it, but it didnt fix it [03:23] Tcl is a command language. [03:23] bohemian_: tcl is a scripting language [03:24] bohemian_: u should google it [03:24] i see [03:24] Athenon, cos i'm seeing that it's an intrepid-specific error [03:24] Scooma: it started in 8.04... XD [03:24] (Originally used as an embedded control language, but occasionally used like any other scripting language.) [03:25] Royall_: Once you have the .ttf in your ~/.fonts directory you can remove any other copy of it just make sure the one in ~/.fonts is there [03:25] thanks [03:25] whats the best recommended version to download? for a new fresh out the box laptop? intrepid? [03:25] Scooma: either way, i just want it fixed...i install bind9, get a ton of fopens....mysql wont run except if its root...and none of that happened before those errors started :( [03:25] Athenon, sorry i wrote that wrong, it's fixed in intrepid [03:26] Athenon, yes, the core prob is the logging daemon is screwed [03:26] Scooma: oh. ive tried purging it and reinstalling it, but it doesnt work :S [03:26] Athenon, once that works, everything else should be fine [03:26] What is the command to force remove everything in the trash? I have a folder that just won't delete, even after 'sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*' [03:26] Athenon, which one? klogd? [03:26] Scooma: yeah [03:26] and sysklogd [03:27] Athenon, have you got a /var/log? [03:27] Scooma: yeah [03:27] Scooma: but SOME of the logs quit logging the day the error happened, naturally. [03:27] Royall_, I honestly don't know what to tell you there. What kind of file are you trying to remove?

Do you get any error message when trying to rm -rf? [03:30] Free0ne: no [03:31] hor: how do i check a version with apt-get though?

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:38] homeskill right [03:38] ok now, will someone please answer my actual question :p [03:38] Athenon, can u do a uname -a for me? i see it in your log already but i just want to make sure [03:38] homeskill; you don't need to be root for anything. use sudo instead of being root [03:38] Scooma: Linux subaru 2.6.18.8-linode16 #1 SMP Mon Jan 12 09:50:18 EST 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [03:39] homeskill and that was should i use apt-get in such a way to download and install as fake root [03:39] okay yes [03:39] homeskill: See my PM [03:39] my question is is it safe to build programs using sudo apt-get because that installs them AS root [03:39] homeskill: Yes [03:39] Athenon, the problem you've got is that your binaries expect a newer kernel. check this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-461194.html [03:40] if it's not safe to compile a program as root, why is it safe to apt-get as root [03:40] homeskill: I su into root and install programs. It doesn't hurt anything [03:41] homeskill apt-get is from ubuntu repository right? [03:41] !wireless [03:41] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:41] Scooma: thats a list of available kernels...which one should i use? [03:41] Scooma: sorry, link: http://pastebin.com/m6cc524e9 [03:41] coreyman: not necessarily if you add to the sources list -- like adding budgeted (for wine) also mediabuntu. [03:42] coreyman: also adding some repositories from launchpad (for LXDE) or others. [03:42] Athenon, boot your 2.6.27.... [03:43] that should be your default for the moment [03:43] Scooma: ok, lemme reboot [03:43] ok if you add insecure repositories i dont think it would be safe [03:43] other than that you are fine. [03:44] Hey there, can someone point me to where I can find the source for the 'Preferred Application' application that lets me select the browser I want to use? [03:44] Jordan_U: have you found the program? [03:45] icefox, that's on Windows [03:45] i booted into live cd to give my user "coreyman" privlages with chown to a folder, it says invalid user.. what am i doing wrong [03:45] hi, anyone got the wireless to work on ps3? [03:45] Scooma: no that is in Gnome [03:45] icefox: apt-get source gnome-control-center [03:45] crdlb: thanks [03:45] ezguy playstation 3? i thought this was ubuntu [03:45] that'll put it in a folder in the current directory [03:45] * Scooma grins [03:46] yes [03:46] Scooma: i still get the mount thing and the hardware clock thing...no logger errors, though. HOWEVER...i can no longer ssh into my server.... [03:46] i installed ubuntu 8.10 on ps3 [03:46] hello guys my clock has gone including the system tray, the menu in upper corner, mene,system,administration nothing...how to get back the tray? [03:46] icefox: system- preferences- then preferred applications form there you can set your default browser. [03:46] jigp: what do u mean? [03:46] booted into live cd to give my user "coreyman" privlages with chown to a folder, it says invalid user.. what am i doing wrong [03:46] can't get the wpa to work, any ideas? [03:47] right click your panel on the top > add applet [03:47] redvamp128: yes, but I was looking for the source to that application :) [03:47] !sudo | coreyman [03:47] coreyman: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [03:47] and search for various applets. [03:47] anyone running ubuntu on ps3? [03:47] ezguy: what device, and what version of ubuntu [03:47] 8.10 [03:47] Athenon, but you got console yeah? you might need to fix up your ssh.config or just make sure you've got the latest ssh client cos there was a few fixes a few months ago due to a ssh hack that appeared [03:48] melik: im using gnome 8.04 ubuntu. I cannot see the menu in the upper corner,the system , is gone.all I can see now is my desktop folders.where is the menu? [03:48] what wireless device? [03:48] jigp: right click your panel > add applet [03:48] Scooma: yeah...ive got a lish console from linode [03:48] redvamp128 im using freakin sudo [03:48] and search for gnome menu and drag it to ur panel [03:48] anyone here uses a linux phone? I want a phone that can allow me to add appz like ubuntu [03:48] coreyman, you don't need to create a user on the live cd. just run it normally and then when you sudo typically you hit enter for the password [03:49] im not creating a user on the live cd [03:49] i mounted a disk, and im trying to change privlages of a folder [03:49] ah sorry [03:49] Scooma: ssh wasnt started for some reason [03:50] icefox: you could possibly try using this page look for the ! Repositories Using the Command Line - Community Ubuntu Documentation but you have to know the package name for that preffered application [03:50] I recently put Ubuntu on an old computer of mine with very little RAM. Unfortunately it's still running slow so I was considering removing Ubuntu and putting Debian on the computer with gnome so there's less stuff on the computer. Can someone tell me if this would make a difference? [03:50] Athenon, all good then! [03:50] Scooma: mysql wont run under mysql still tho...trying bind9 now [03:50] Mike94287, try xubuntu [03:50] redvamp128: crdlb pointed me to the source, thanks though [03:50] Scooma: still get fopen errors and stuff too [03:50] w/ 4 [03:50] icefox: also I think you can use your software sources list to add the source code repository [03:50] mike94287 you just need a low ram linux build [03:50] Athenon, you might need to repair the db [03:51] Scooma: repair which db? [03:51] Mike94287: xubuntu, crunchbang linux(ubuntu w/ openbox), wouldboth be fine, how "low" on ram are you? === horst76 is now known as HorstBox [03:51] mezquitale: I know xubuntu is lightweight but I'm not sure if it would make a big difference from what I've heard. The only thing the computer is used for is internet browsing and piding. [03:51] Athenon, open your system log and work through the error messages [03:51] I have attempted to install Ubuntu using the mini iso image (I only had a single 600MB CD-RW on hand). Problem is, after I go through the install process, there is no GUI installed and I boot into a shell. Anyone have ideas on how to get a normal ubuntu install going given where I'm at? [03:52] Mike94287: how much ram does the system have? [03:52] btthalion: sudo apt-get install gnome* [03:52] Can someone help me connect up to my wireless network. The network is detected, the password is wpa and wpasupplicant is installed. When connecting it just fails to connect and asks for the password again. Attempting to connect through the network manager in xubuntu 8.10 [03:52] IndygunFreak: About 184 mb [03:52] btthalion: to start an install with the alternate cd -- the comand is "cli" to start the command line installer. [03:52] Mike94287: yeah, thats not enough.. [03:52] btthalion, don't waste your time. go out and buy a dvd [03:52] * Scooma grins [03:53] would this be ssh? Mar 5 21:43:49 subaru init: tty1 main process (2558) killed by TERM signal [03:53] Mike94287: i'd look at crunchbang linux.. if all you do is surf, and use pidgin.. it would do well for that. [03:53] Mike94287: its basically ubuntu, w/ openbox. [03:53] IndyGunFreak: Okay I'll look into it, thanks. [03:53] Athenon, thats the first terminal [03:54] Athenon, typically console or whatever you've linked into the server [03:54] Scooma: im not seeing anything that should be causing all this funkiness....in fact, now my IRC server and stuff isnt running...cron seems to be down? [03:54] btthalion: just make sure if you are using the alternate cd that you are connected to the web though- because it grabs the latest packages from the web to do the install. [03:54] dft: that fails due to broken packages... dependencies that are not installable, apparently. [03:55] btthalion: meh [03:55] redvamp128: I'm not sure how installing with the CLI tool will help matters? [03:55] btthalion: get a dvd:) [03:55] wait no, there ir comes my bad [03:55] redvamp128: I used 'install' and that whole process completed. === failer_ is now known as failers [03:55] btthalion: I thought you were using the alternate cd-- and a lot of people download that by mistake and get a boot to a prompt [03:56] can anyone tell me why my sound and video is running in half time? [03:56] dft, scooma: It's late, nothing is open now... :) [03:56] hey guys, does anyone know why my sound would be playing half speed in both the browser and media player? [03:56] I'm trying to burn an avi to a dvd with brasero - but I'm getting the error "It is not possible to write with the current set of plugins" [03:56] Scooma: the kernel log daemon is still failing to start...i dont get any message about it at startup though....that bad? [03:56] redvamp128: Oh, no, the mini iso. As far as I know it just downloads the packages needed to install whatever distribution I pick (ubuntu, kubuntu, edubuntu, etc.) [03:56] Athenon, postbin your /var/log/syslog [03:57] btthalion, heh [03:57] btthalion: if you're really keen on not going throught the whole reinstall process I think you might gain some success with apt-get install x-window-system-core xserver-xorg gnome-desktop-environment for starters [03:57] can someone tell me where to find mono-vbnc? it isn't in the repos, but it should be [03:57] btthalion, can't wait one day? but yeah try dft's suggestion [03:58] Scooma: Ha, I can in theory, but what would I do with the rest of my day then? Watch TV or something? [03:58] dft: Giving that a shot... [03:58] i stuck /dev/sda3 in fstab to mount at startup, but its not mounting.... what am i doing wrong [03:58] !info mono-vbc [03:58] Package mono-vbc does not exist in intrepid [03:58] coreyman; use the UUID [03:58] read this thread, it's a bit dated but may guide you http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-186298.html [03:58] Scooma: http://pastebin.com/m122f81cc [03:58] !info mono-vbnc [03:58] Package mono-vbnc does not exist in intrepid [03:59] dft: Nifty, thanks :) [03:59] there, ubottu agrees with me, mono-vbnc isn't there [03:59] bastid_razor can you give me some syntax to use to mount /dev/sda3 in /home on startup with a variable UUID [03:59] it should be, so where is it?!!! [03:59] jdsbluedevl: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/mono-vbnc try this site [03:59] I'm using a Foxconn NF4UK8AA and whenever I play video or audio it plays in half time [04:00] that's for Jaunty, I have Intrepid === [MindVirus] is now known as MindVirus [04:00] Mike94287, xubuntu SHOULD make a difference, there are other distros for limited resources, xubuntu is the one i recommend unless you want to bother configuring your monitor by hand [04:00] coreyman; i have 2 minutes before i have to run... sudo blkid will give you the UUID of /dev/sda3 [04:00] hey [04:00] oh i realize that, i need the other syntax bastid_razor [04:01] i just installed kubuntu on my laptop [04:01] I heard there was some kind of BIOS issue with linux, but I don't know if that's true or not [04:01] but how do i switch to kde3 and not kde4 [04:01] Can someone assist me in connecting to my wireless network through network manager using a wpa password? [04:01] bastid_razor like UUID= 12421048721491274 /home stuff here [04:01] http://pastebin.com/f2b56c0f3 that is my fstab .. coreyman [04:01] thanks bastid_razor [04:01] i have to run.. good luck ... coreyman [04:02] see you later bastid_razor [04:02] ok weird, I made a new partition with Ubuntu's partitioner (which seems to be gparted) and this new ext3 partition is a filesystem which ubuntu proclaims not be able to read when I ask it to open the partition from Places - 120GB(partition) [04:02] mean_admin try to format it? [04:02] mean_admin or do you have files on it. [04:03] Athenon, see in your postbin, line 129 [04:03] coreyman: no files but I've formatted it once wiht gpartioner from inside the system [04:03] mean_admin use gparted on a live disc [04:03] Scooma: that would probably be part of the 30 fopen: permission denied errors i got upon installing it? XD [04:03] any one? [04:03] coreyman: I don't understand, why didn't gparted work from inside the OS ? [04:03] just installing vmplayer, it is using a .bundle, I haven't seen these before, are they new? or just a vmware thing? [04:04] does anyone know of a package that could run OSX leopard inside linux? through an emulator? [04:04] Athenon, is this a production server or your own machine? [04:04] mean_admin im not sure, i just providedd an alternative :D [04:04] Scooma: its not just bind thats the problem...mysql is getting permission errors it shouldnt as well [04:04] Scooma: production server methinks [04:04] Scooma: but i dont mind rebooting or anything [04:04] i have just installed kubuntu from the iso i got of the site last night but i would like to use kde3 not 4 [04:04] Athenon, how did you install bind? [04:05] Scooma: apt-get install bind9 [04:05] how do i do this === defcon is now known as Guest24557 [04:05] Athenon, as root? [04:05] hi, i'm having problems exporting big OO files to PDF, i get an error saying "resources exhausted", i googled and it seems like my /tmp is too small, how can i enlarge it , is mount -o remount,size=5M /tmp the command? [04:05] slops17: if you're using intrepid, then i don't think there's any easy way to do that, you could try something like , but i'm not sure how well it would work [04:05] Scooma: yep. [04:05] coreyman: good enough for me :) [04:05] ok [04:05] inkd_denver: you could try vmplayer, not emulated, but it should run. [04:05] i will try [04:05] Athenon, do you have a /var/cache/bin ? and what are it's perms? [04:05] thanks [04:05] anyone here uses a linux phone? can anyone recommend me a phone that will work on ubuntu to store your contact info migrated from outlook? [04:05] when i use blkid what is sec_type [04:06] ok thanks a lot, is that in the package installer [04:06] Scooma: i have bind, but not bin. drwxrwxr-x 2 root bind 4096 Jan 7 19:31 bind [04:07] coreyman: did you sort out your problem? [04:07] neil_d pretty much, but new problem i am working on resolving myself, since it was nearly working earlier and i broke it and i need to get back to that nearly working state so i can try something i found [04:08] Athenon, your probs are exactly this guy's probs: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-18780.html [04:08] Athenon, can you work through some of the suggestions there? [04:08] Scooma: yeah. but i mean...mysql is ALSO getting permission errors it shouldnt. the problem is system-wide i think. [04:09] Athenon, also, make sure you have a user bind living in /etc/passwd [04:09] can anyone help me increase my /tmp ? [04:09] can SOMEONE help me find the mono-vbmc package?! I ASKED REPEATEDLY now, and no one has answered my plea! [04:10] jdsbluedevl, hold on whilst I ignore you [04:10] I'm writing a program that deletes core files. So are core files always just called 'core'? [04:10] Scooma: thanks a lot, jackhat [04:10] I'm so GLAD to know I'm getting HELP here [04:10] And if more than one is created it overwrites old core files? [04:10] jdsbluedevl, what is that package? for mono? [04:10] lets see if i can get /dev/sda3 to mount this time neil_d that's the current problem. [04:11] coreyman: good! I have been having hardware troubles myself. [04:11] someone suggested using UUID, so i am now [04:11] it should be mono-vbmc [04:11] but it isn't there [04:11] jdsbluedevl, for mono? [04:11] I guess it's mono-common [04:11] doesn't matter, as it should be installed by default, right? [04:11] coreyman: oops! that sounded bad. [04:11] hmm, its still not mounting [04:12] has anyone heard of a foxconn BIOS compatibility problem with Ubuntu?? [04:12] jdsbluedevl, what do you need it for? [04:12] Sirisian, which programs are crashing a lot? [04:12] I read somewhere that you have to edit then recompile the BIOS to get it to work right... [04:12] to run a Mono program that depends on VB assembly [04:12] Scooma, oh none. School assignment thing with vague instructions. [04:13] jdsbluedevl, i suggest you ask in #mono, i couldn't find such package for ubuntu [04:13] Scooma, I'm just curious if they are always called 'core'. [04:13] they're telling me to come back here [04:13] they're giving me the "I don't work with Ubuntu" crap [04:14] Scooma: i still get the same thing. http://pastebin.com/mb9604ff [04:14] jdsbluedevl, is that the name of the package? [04:14] the package should be mono-vbmc [04:14] Sirisian, ah... [04:14] Scooma, oh sorry for wasting your time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_dump#Naming [04:14] I didn't scroll down on the page I guess [04:15] jdsbluedevl, it seems like there is no ubuntu package http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=com.ubuntu%3Aen-US%3Aunofficial&q=mono-vbmc+ubuntu&btnG=Search [04:15] neil_d sweet, i got further now. [04:15] neil_d seemed my mount point did not exist >.> [04:15] jdsbluedevl, maybe you can try an RPM and convert with alien [04:15] good, can you find one for me, because I can't [04:16] coreyman: ok. don't forget to check the premissions of the mount point once you have done the mount. [04:16] itai_michaelson: I don't think that Ubuntu mounts /tmp as a separate partition normally. Can you copy the output of "df -H" to paste.ubuntu.com? [04:16] itai_michaelson: googling mono-vbmc rmp gives me junk [04:16] *rpm [04:17] Scooma: installing mysql, i get the same errors...long string of fopen permission errors. [04:17] rww, i'm looking for an advice on a similar error, the solution calls for that , here http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=207644 (post 148) [04:17] Athenon, try running it as sudo apt-get install etc.etc. [04:17] not in a root shell [04:18] jdsbluedevl, try googling with mono-something suse [04:18] Scooma: ok, lemme try that [04:18] neil_d yea i just had to change that. [04:18] neil_d from recovery mode [04:19] does anyone know if i have to change any failregex's for fail2ban from ubuntu repos to work properly with any certain ubuntu daemon logs, like for proftpd and apache? [04:19] itai_michaelson: okay. Well, copy "df -H" and I'll take a look. [04:19] sweet it loaded up :D neil_d !! [04:19] thanks [04:19] I've had ubuntu freeze up a couple times, is there a key combination that is analgous to ctrl-alt-del? [04:19] Scooma: same thing. and it happens when i remove the packages too. [04:19] itai_michaelson: yeah, mono-basic suse 2.2 works [04:19] so I guess d/l and alien it? [04:20] ctrl-slt-bsckspace [04:20] *alt [04:20] neil_d what troubles are you havin [04:20] constantine_: Ctrl-Alt-Del works sometimes. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace will restart X11 on Intrepid and below. Ctrl-Alt-F2 should drop you to a terminal. Worst case scenario, use REISUB. [04:20] !reisub | constantine_ [04:20] constantine_: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [04:20] constantine_, or drop to a shell and kill whatever is freezing [04:21] constantine_: alt+sysrq+k will kill everything in the current virtual console, including X [04:21] brb logging into ubuntu on desktop [04:21] Scooma: tried to reinstall klogd, since it wouldnt start...trying to get it to start. same thing. long string of fopen errors :( [04:22] I get all of that except "drop to a shell", "including x", and what to type once in terminal === Pooky_ is now known as Pooky [04:23] x is your gui layer [04:23] constantine_: even better than alt+sysrq+k would probably be alt+sysrq+o for a reboot... and sysrq keys shouldnt require a shell, even if X is locked up [04:23] shell is your cli [04:23] what is sysrq? [04:23] Athenon, pastebin your /etc/sudoers please [04:23] AndyCrawford where are you from [04:23] lol and cli? [04:23] !reisub > constantine_ [04:23] constantine_, please see my private message [04:23] constantine_: PrtScr button [04:24] constantine_, CLI = command line interface [04:24] what is the easiest way to use cgi to write to the html that called it, i want to use cgi to do some calculations then display them on the page [04:24] lol... i show up lookin for fail2ban help, and end up throwin out a bit of sysrq help myself :) [04:24] Scooma: http://pastebin.com/d6b8f50ad [04:25] so I drop to a terminal, assuming that works, and do what? [04:25] Athenon, this is your server isn't it, not a company server [04:25] constantine_: you shouldnt have to drop to a terminal with SysRq, but if you CAN drop to a terminal, then you dont need SysRq, you'd be in luck and could just sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (or kdm if using kubuntu) [04:26] Scooma: yeah. oh...is that what you meant by production? [04:26] rww, http://paste.ubuntu.com/127044/ [04:26] Athenon, heh yes [04:26] constantine_: and if all else failed, and you sill had keyboard input (in order to drop to a terminal) then you could just "sudo reboot" to reboot the machine :) [04:27] Scooma: oh, sorry. i thought you meant production as in....my primary server as opposed to test servers. sorry, my apologies [04:27] So does anyone know if fail2ban in the repos is packages with proper ubuntu failregex's ? [04:27] what do people use sys rq for? [04:28] saw someone refer to it for changing tty's or something before [04:28] but surely that's just ctrl+alt+Fx [04:28] itai_michaelson: Was your / partition almost full recently or something? [04:28] daftykins: accomplishing taskes when X or the system is entirely locked up... saves on hard reboots [04:28] daftykins-> to sync, to reboot [04:28] rww, maybe, have been editing videos [04:28] what do you press? doesn't do anything here [04:28] also oom killer [04:29] daftykins: alt+sysrq+ [04:29] 'task' ? [04:29] 0o [04:29] coreyman1: been having trouble with a drive of my raid1 array. I think there is a problem with the motherboard. [04:29] thanks nythain [04:29] Athenon, there are so many faults and errors in there i would just rebuilt it if it was mine [04:29] constantine_: np [04:29] thanks rww [04:29] itai_michaelson: It looks like the emergency overflow /tmp system kicked in. Restarting should fix it (and don't completely fill up your / partition in the future ;)) [04:30] Scooma: can i do that without having to back databases and configs, etc up? [04:30] Athenon, you might want to just use the desktop install too, not the server one [04:30] rww, i need to reboot right, not just X ,right? [04:30] itai_michaelson: correct [04:30] Athenon, do you have a backup? [04:30] rww, ok thanks [04:30] itai_michaelson: you could also try sudo umount /tmp, that might work [04:30] Scooma: nope. and since its in a datacenter with limited hdd space, backing up would be a literal major project [04:30] itai_michaelson: but yeah, rebooting should definitely clear it. [04:31] and restoring the backup would probably be just as bad [04:31] neil_d what sort of problems === coreyman1 is now known as coreyman [04:31] rww, unmount and then mount again? [04:31] hmmmm [04:31] itai_michaelson: nope. Usually, nothing's specially mounted to /tmp, it's just a directory in / [04:32] ok new problem here, anyone ever had to drag files of a NTFS windows OS, i am cd'd into the directory, and i see Documents and Settings [04:32] rww, thank you very much, have a nice day [04:32] or night [04:32] I cd into Documents and Settings and do a dir, and i see nothing [04:32] what's up with that [04:32] coreyman: If you're using Vista, you'll need to cd into Users, not Documents and Settings [04:32] so ext3 partitions created with livecd should be mounted with no problem under installed Ubuntu ? [04:32] rww yes it is a vista install, ill try that [04:33] coreyman: all sorts of messages when booting, saying ata4.0 is having trouble, and a very slow boot. [04:33] Mean_Admin-> do you expect otherwise? [04:33] neil_d oh, sounds hardware related. [04:34] n8tuserf: well I used gparted from within ubuntu and real weird weird stuff is happening [04:34] Athenon, your basic problem is that everything is not executing properly [04:34] Scooma: what do you mean? [04:35] Mean_Admin ubuntu doesn't auto mount partitions that aren't the one you installed with, you have to edit fstab [04:35] actually coreyman proposed using gparted off the livecd, I'm just double-checking I got that right [04:36] coreyman: yeah you're right, however, it can't even mount it ad-hoc (well actually, it's so much more weird than that, I just can't grasp what's happening) [04:36] Mean_Admin-> what real weird stuff happened? [04:36] coreyman: yes! but as this is the second new drive, that its reporting trouble with, and it an old motherboard, and I have been having trouble for the last 6 months, [04:36] Athenon, apt-get as sudo and everything should execute fine. you shouldn't get permission denied unless the files are owned by someone else and even then as root you have full permissions... hmmm [04:36] unless.... [04:36] neil_d i would suspect mobo then [04:36] Scooma: yeah, thats what confusing me....and on top of everything else, if i dont tell mysql to run as root, but as mysql...it cant bind the socket [04:37] Athenon, that could be due to a firewall [04:37] permission error. yet again. [04:37] n8tuserf: well, the new ext3 partition appears under [Places] -> [120Gb] (so usually you'd select, click, 120GB and it would theoretically mount the partition and open it up in nautilus) [04:37] n8tuserf: but when I select [120GB], it just announces filesystem cannot be worked with [04:37] Mean_Admin have you tried doing a cmd line approach [04:37] In obconf, the configuration program for Openbox, there's a "Dock" tab that doesn't appear to do anything. Does anyone happen to know how to use it? [04:37] Athenon, can you tell me if your / is mounted rw or ro? [04:37] Mean_Admin what is the actual name of the drive [04:38] coreyman: I don't know! :( [04:38] any ideas why every other file host except rapidshare would lock up firefox in ubuntu but not windows? [04:38] Scooma: as far as i know, it should be mounted rw....but how can i verify it for sure? [04:38] coreyman: don't know how to list mountable partitions [04:38] Mean_Admin : sudo mount -t /dev/sda3 /mnt [04:38] Mean_Admin-> did you create a filesystem on that partition or you just formatted it as ext3 ? [04:38] Athenon, type mount and the first item should say something like: /dev/xxx on / type ext3.... [04:38] /dev/xvda on / type ext3 (rw) [04:39] Mean_Admin sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda3 /mnt [04:39] lol i did syntax wrong [04:39] Athenon-> is that a new naming convention /dev/xv?? [04:39] i wanna setup ubuntu LDAP domain controller for windows clients [04:40] n8tuserf: that's linode's naming convention [04:40] but my server has no internet [04:41] rww i copied my documents folder to a directory in my ~ .... but none of the pictures copied over and i know there are pictures there in the My Pictures [04:41] Athenon, http://blog.linode.com/ [04:42] your hosting provider runs an irc channel [04:42] Scooma: ive been asking there. this channel tends to be more helpful, though [04:42] If I start up a new Ubuntu Server instance with KVM, how do I ssh into it? [04:42] Athenon-> thats not linux, its a vendor providing isp services? [04:42] Athenon, one of the techs should be able to do a sanity check though [04:43] n8tuserf: well, I formatted a portion of the drive as ext3.. do I need to ask gparted to make a partition table or something ? [04:43] coreyman: [04:43] rww mabye not... lol [04:43] Scooma: i submitted a support ticket at one point...he basically said it's my problem, not his [04:43] mean_admin sup. [04:43] coreyman: again, you got the wrong folder. Vista puts a bunch of (it's equivalent of) symbolic links in a bunch of folders. You probably want c:\Users\Username\Documents [04:43] Mean_Admin-> formatting and creating a filesystem are two different steps [04:43] coreyman: sorry, heh, so, "/dev/sda3" shoud be replaced by the real name ? [04:43] Athenon, but he didn't give any pointers? [04:44] is there a package with extra panel applets for intrepid? [04:44] coreyman: there's also a Pictures folder in the same place as Documents. They might be there. [04:44] Scooma: he said reinstall klogd...which i did....which failed...and then try their irc....which have. [04:44] rww i went to c:\users\username\documents [04:44] Mean_Admin yes, but that's likely the name [04:45] how does one take a copy-pasted script and make it executable? [04:45] rww im going to go boot into vista and check see where the files are actually at >.> [04:45] Mean_Admin brb [04:45] coreyman: good plan ;) [04:45] bobboti: "chmod +x filename" from the terminal [04:45] n8tuserf: hum all right, well, under gparted gui, the section I wanna mount is listed a partition with a certain size and as a ext3 filesystem, so it's been both formatted and filesystemed, afaik [04:45] rww, thanks [04:46] ZachFlem: it doesn't look like there's one specific package. If you search for "applet" in synaptic (or "aptitude search ~napplet" in the terminal), you can look through there. [04:47] Mean_Admin-> i dont think gparted creates a filesytem, you have to run mkfs [04:48] n8tuserf: that's strange since it has a ''reformat as ext3'' option but I'll take a look at mkfs... does that have a gui ? [04:48] Anybody know how to download a package from the repositories by name and download to the current directory? [04:48] Mean_Admin-> no gui i know of [04:48] Mean_Admin-> man mkfs [04:48] thanks rww [04:49] Huufarted-> wget [04:49] n8tuserf: right thanks :) [04:49] n8tuserf: I didn't know you could use wget for anything other than a url. [04:50] Huufarted: you can use "apt-get --print-uris install PACKAGENAME" to get the URL of the package, then use wget to get it. [04:50] rww, awesome, thanks! [04:50] jopijoi [04:50] ;;;lkpoj [04:50] kkkkkkkkkk [04:50] hi === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [04:50] co_: Do you have an Ubuntu support question? [04:51] help me setting up mail server windows on ubuntu [04:52] rww ok so the files are actually in username/Pictures .... [04:53] naymyowin-> not a simple trick.. you also have to have a name server [04:56] hello all [04:57] Ok, this is weird [04:58] There is no /home/username/.Trash for me [04:58] so in windows, i have bunches of different file views for a folder, like icon, thumbnail, list.... with the default kde file viewer, how can i set this option for a particular folder(already asked in kubuntu) [04:58] hi hi all [04:58] (I replaced the username with my own username) [04:58] Royall they changed the directory of trash [04:58] !trash [04:58] The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [04:59] i have a multi solution problem [04:59] thanks [04:59] no problem Royall_ [04:59] i try loading windows xp on to my computer and it wont let me; the error code says that it can't find my hard drive. how can i fix this? [04:59] on the site www.kennethkirschner.com, there are 86 images, all that link to a song, which is always "kirschner??????.mp3", with ? being a numeral. [05:00] Robert_C show it where your hard disk is, this is ubuntu channel i think. [05:00] anybody here familiar with the 'cut' command? I'm trying to specify a delimiter of a single tick (') but it doesn't seem to like it and expects and end tick. How can I force it to take a single tick mark? [05:00] hey what server adition is better 8.10 or 8.4 [05:00] coreyman i'm not really ubuntu savy, how would i go about that/ [05:00] wait [05:00] the newest one or the second newest one that is waht i mean [05:00] so, i need a way of getting all of those at once, but thats as far as i can get, ive tried dumping the page source the greping it for wildcard .mp3, amoung other things [05:01] because my freind told me to install the second to newest server adtion [05:01] Robert_C-> you can find it in #windows channel perhaps? [05:01] Robert_C, so you installed ubuntu, and your using Grub and trying to boot windows? === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [05:01] what i need is all of the song names in a .txt, one per line, so i can < it to wget [05:01] HEY [05:01] n8tuserf, and coryman stop picking on new users [05:01] so [05:01] what is better [05:01] be ashamed [05:01] vantrax i'm booting from disc to load windows [05:01] Anyone knows what is HUP? [05:02] !hup [05:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about hup [05:02] Vantrax -> you dont know what you're talking about you have not been here long enuff [05:02] Ubuntu 8.10 server [05:02] or [05:02] Ubuntu 8.04 server [05:02] cactusfrog, thats very oppinionated, do whichever you want and dont spam the channel [05:02] well i dont know anything about linux [05:02] 8.1 is the newest, i usually go with it. [05:02] ok [05:02] ive tried mainly $grep --regexp=".\.mp3" -f kk.txt > kkmp3list.txt [05:02] thanks all i was wondering [05:02] you dont know anything about linux and you are going to install a server? [05:02] its not like videa [05:03] vista [05:03] Robert_C, if it cant find the disk, usually you have a hardware failure, or its not connected properly [05:03] where the newer one is worse [05:03] you should start out with a gui cactusfrog [05:03] whats GUI [05:03] and other things like that, but for some reason i cannot get grep to only show the filename link that is in the html, instead of the entire line describing the behavior of the image link [05:03] cactusfrog graphical user interface [05:03] Hup signal [05:03] ya [05:03] that is what i am going to do [05:03] cactusfrog ubuntu desktop edition === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [05:03] and in w3m, i know i can S^L, but i cannot seem to copy that list [05:03] cactusfrog: graphical user interface. What he means, in this case, is a graphical desktop. In other words, don't install the server. Choose the desktop version. [05:03] oh [05:03] ok [05:04] can i install the other one later [05:04] i also tried the wget spider function to list all of the links to the songs, but that wont do it either [05:04] sophia -> man signal for detailed explanations [05:04] cactusfrog: you can [05:04] ty [05:05] whats the difference [05:05] what i really need is a way to say "print all of the links that go to another page that are on this page, and put it into txt" [05:05] n8tuserf: thanks [05:06] i cannot seem to get wget to accept wildcards, so i need to get a txt list of all of the links on that page so i can -i it for wget instead [05:06] hey [05:06] answer me please [05:06] naymyowin what is your question [05:08] is anyone aware of a way to show all links that are on a webpage [05:08] nigtv no clue [05:09] you have any other way i could do it? [05:09] ive been trying this all day and am totally befunked [05:09] how do i determine what package a file belongs to? [05:09] you trying to read all possibles from a directory, or just links [05:10] yea mean ls or something dif [05:10] nigtv -> you tried to ask google for assitance yet? like wget tips and tricks? [05:10] yea a little, its hard to get anything thats at all related [05:10] i know there is the wget --spider route [05:11] but i cannot get that to export to txt either, and when i do it normally it gives me the same thing i get when i dump the page source [05:11] nightv: http://www.usenet-forums.com/php-language/25447-list-all-links-webpage.html [05:11] hi [05:12] nigtv: http://www.usenet-forums.com/php-language/25447-list-all-links-webpage.html [05:13] sophia: i cannot use php [05:13] as far as i know [05:13] im not in x, only the console === eric_ is now known as talntid [05:14] join [05:16] hi, can I set ubuntu to always display all hidden files? [05:16] Yes, though I don't know how [05:16] constantine_: yes, its under view i believe [05:17] nigtv , that does it temporarily [05:17] anybody that writes shell scripts available for a question or two? I'm looking to write a bash script that will have to process multiple lines (of an unknown number) and process each line as an argument. Anybody that could help me out? [05:17] if you cant find out, i guess you could ls -AR > allfiles.txt [05:17] might be a little crappy though [05:17] is there a "winrar" style program for ubuntu? [05:17] ZachFlem: yes, tar [05:18] there is tar and rar, look for them in synaptic [05:18] or you can apt-get install tar rar [05:18] ZachFlem it isn't needed [05:18] nigtv, does that give me the right click and gui stuff? [05:18] or uhm archive manager, which i think is out of the box, can do that in the gui [05:18] bcg24, if its not needed, why do i need it? [05:18] constantine_, try edit- preferences [05:19] tar should be installed by default [05:19] should be under applications>accessories [05:19] bcg24: yea but its not graphical [05:19] hello, i need help fixing my GRUB [05:19] yes, tar is, but i would like the gui part [05:19] constantine_, somewhere there i believe [05:19] use archive manager [05:19] I meant it isn't needed because tar is installed by default...In your case it may be needed [05:19] constantine_, check show hidden and backup files [05:19] bcg24, does tar compress/decompress other file types? [05:20] yes it doesn :) [05:20] does [05:20] if you are willing to take a few minutes and learn how to use tar and rar it may be worth it [05:20] ZachFlem: tar can handle .tar .tar.gz and tar.bz [05:20] Only tar files that is the standard archive of linux [05:20] nigtv, im happy to do that, but there are other people that are involved, not just me [05:21] hi guys ... I have a problem with APTonCD, anybody here who has a few minutes to help me out? It's not a complicated issue, just newbie uncertainty. :) [05:21] ah, well then archive manager, which is installed too right out of the box [05:21] ok, well what about when people send me zip and rar files from windows? i'd really like a nice gui app to help out. [05:21] ^ archive manager [05:21] applications, accessories [05:21] should be in there [05:22] i've got a minimal install, any idea what the package is called? [05:22] i think archive_manager [05:22] lemme check that [05:22] I don't know where to get an driver for my sound card for sound capture, I have an x-fi card and have the packages alsa-oss and oss-compat [05:22] hey i need help fixing my GRUB, can anyone here help?

[05:26] ok, well i tried to install ubuntu on an external hard drive, i found out via google that it took my GRUB with it, also while at google i found a guide that said to go sudo su, then type in fdisk -l, then choose the disk you want the grub to be in then type grub-install /dev/sdx. everything went well but when i chose my linux hard drive it said that it does not have a corresponding BIOS drive [05:26] do you have your set up like this( i had trouble before also ) [05:26] pulseaduio [05:27] can someone tell me how to direct messages to individuals [05:27] modem>switch>wireless router [05:27] Can someone tell me the difference between "service gdm start" and "startx"?

Is there any system that will send me an email if this process goes down?

[05:38] nigtv, actually it is not ethernet. It's just a dial-up modem.

[05:40] meaning i have 2 pc's and only 1 monitor now, the significance of which is that ... i wanted my old pc up in case i need tech help with my new linux pc [05:40] anahata, just do the installation :) i have one month on ubuntu, and i have absolutely no probs (except for my modem). [05:40] therootest: oh ok .... you solved your modem problem, then? [05:40] therootest: yes, it is called wvdial, the dialer [05:41] if you can apt-get install wvdialer, and just see if you have it, if you do then you have to run it [05:41] its a graphical auto config type thing for dialup modems [05:41] anahata, i'm trying to :) [05:41] therootest: ohhh, then what are you using to get online? another pc? [05:41] nigtv, i just dont have drivers for the modem. So, i cant use wvdial. [05:42] you cant find them online? [05:42] uh [05:42] really importrain question [05:42] worst case scen you could use a generic one [05:42] nigtv, no... [05:42] how do i change my harddive from master to slave [05:42] i cant find the diogram on it [05:42] :S [05:42] cactusfrog: the switches on the back [05:43] it changes from hd to hd [05:43] if you look at it in the back, it should have little plastic lookin things connecting small pins === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [05:43] hehe @ prince_jammys [05:44] on mine its MASTER: 10001000 and SLAVE 10001110 [05:44] well [05:44] is there a way to install ubuntu pakages without removing packages bacause apt-get offers to remove them automatically which i donot want.. [05:44] how do I set a swap partition? a while ago, i deleted my original swap partition. now that i created it again, ubuntu still doesnt recognize it [05:44] go to c [05:44] and there is an unistaller there [05:44] nigtv: what kind of modem are you trying to work with linux? [05:45] rexwin: why do you want to do that, its alot better than having conflicting packages [05:45] anahata: not me, therootest, its a dialup [05:45] he cannot find a driver so he can run wvdial to set it up i believe [05:45] wers: you have to use fdisk [05:45] nigtv: oh i'm sorry, i'm very sleepy and confused the two [05:45] be real careful though [05:45] hello [05:45] linux doesn't like internal dialup modems [05:45] anahata: ive done that like 10 times already [05:45] nigtv,it is saying that it going to remove packages that i know i need them.. [05:46] is there a way to enable and disable a screensaver from the command line so I can watch movies on hulu without my display turning off? [05:46] are you using add remove or synaptic or command line or what [05:46] nigtv, fdisk /dev/hda6. is that right? [05:46] adasd [05:46] wers you dont have to use fdisk to create a swap [05:46] <_Whipper__> alan: do u have a "powersaving" plan on your machine? [05:46] i dunno, wers, depends on the computer and its info and bios and all of that [05:47] therootest: bummer [05:47] n8tuserf, i already have a swap partition. it's /dev/hda6. how do i make ubuntu make use of it [05:47] ok [05:47] wers you swap on [05:47] wers: how do you know its not using it [05:47] my local lug doesn't meet anymore, according to their site [05:47] at least i have this [05:47] i cant find my drive slave/master switch and there is no diogram [05:47] n8tuserf, thanks. working now :D [05:48] what cerial number should i google to get info [05:48] i want to set up a second x server to run on a different tty. what's the best way to do this in 8.10? [05:48] because i cnat find it [05:48] guys any suggestions on how to get ubuntu working on an HP pavilion 6636nr laptop? any1? thanks. I need 8.10 [05:48] how do i give permissions to a program to write [05:48] nigtv, verbose mode when i was booting. it's working now. :D [05:48] cactusfrog: in the back, are there 8 or 9 pins arranged in a rectangle? [05:48] without sudo [05:48] my one acquaintance online tried to talk me into bsd instead of ubuntu [05:48] what happens if i dont use swap? any advantage? [05:48] i know i have sean pictures [05:48] mine doesn't have them [05:48] :S [05:48] wers: no, you should really use it [05:49] nigtv. ok thanks :) [05:49] cactusfrog: wow...what model === cthompson_ is now known as tyler_d [05:49] wiat [05:49] i do i have 4 pins [05:49] they should all have them [05:49] but nothing on them [05:49] shucks, you might have to go get some, theyre cheap though... [05:49] are they importain [05:49] does gzip come automatically with ubunu? [05:49] i have on on my other new hardrive [05:49] if you have nothing in there it just runs as a master right? [05:49] are you all really happier on linux than on windows? [05:50] is it really better or am i having grass-is-greener syndrome? [05:50] linux always brakes for me [05:50] anahata: it is better [05:50] it's better [05:50] <_Whipper__> anahata: i dont no the rest, I am :) [05:50] windows is no difrent [05:50] anahata, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:50] same with macs [05:50] anahata -> you need a hug? [05:50] ok [05:50] so [05:50] i dont have the pin [05:50] anahata: there's a learning curve but most don't remember that they had one with windows too [05:50] and i am not sure where to put it to set it as master [05:50] cactusfrog: if you are using two i think you need at least 2 little connecters depending on what you have to connect [05:51] bazhang: ok... i was starting to ramble [05:51] i have to conencters in my computer [05:51] i think that usually the master is connecting the top and bottom pins on the far left [05:51] like |::: [05:51] oh mines looks like this .... [05:51] and slave is flat on the bottom 2 most left pins [05:51] and the support is waaaay better...look around [05:51] for free [05:52] (yes, but the local linux geeks don't seem as nice, honestly, for me) [05:52] i only have on row of pins looks like this . . . . [05:52] these ubuntu rooms seem unbelievably helpful though [05:52] how do I make APTonCD bring all the dependencies of all the packages I want copied to a CD? [05:52] where can i download courier new for free. [05:52] i'll take this to the offtopic room now [05:52] I am a bit concerned with how often these new versions come out though, and whether I'll have to continually reinstall them [05:52] cactusfrog: are you sure that isnt the power socket [05:53] constantine_ you can update, no need to reinstall [05:53] yes [05:53] well [05:53] no [05:53] but i unpluged it from a difrent place [05:53] anahata: if you get a book and start with the basics, it will make it easier for them to answer you [05:53] a linux book or an ubuntu book? [05:53] i am actually finding it very frustrating learning stuff on Linux distros, i'm good at command line but those little tricks you learn become useless in subsequent ubuntu versions [05:53] cactusfrog: well all hd have IDE connect, which is the long row of : with one . [05:53] constantine: i have 3 linux books [05:53] is there a windows variant of the SSHfs server? [05:53] and then a power which is like . . . . [05:53] i'm used to knowing how to do everything i need to with Windows too, so coming to Linux is tough [05:53] anahata: many are into linux and programming and think logically so they expect you to have googled or tried to look [05:54] !ot [05:54] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:54] anahata: get the ubuntu pocket guide which is free or paperback or get ubuntu kung fu [05:54] please take chat to the #ubuntu-offtopic channel thanks [05:54] it will answer most of your questions for awhile [05:54] i dunno you should look up your model on google and see if it does have them, should be able to find something that will tell you the way to set it up [05:54] how to write rss [05:54] constantine pm me so we dont get into trouble lol [05:54] is there a windows variant of the SSHfs server? [05:54] cactusfrog: sorry i cant be more of a help [05:55] i have to go [05:55] good luck all [05:55] [05:55] how do I make APTonCD bring all the dependencies of all the packages I want copied to a CD?

[05:56] <_Whipper__> BornSlippy: AptonCd comes with a manual? [05:56] will scanning a hardrive kill it [05:56] Whipper: I read the manual, but it doesn't help.

[05:57] Whipper: I made a CD with the dependencies-added thing, but when I try to open it in synaptic package manager - e.g. when I want to install APTonCD from the CD I just made, it asks for a bunch of dependencies [05:58] <_Whipper__> Born: make an .is, and burn it on cd, that should do the trick.. [05:58] <_Whipper__> .iso i ment [05:58] Whipper: I did all of that. Twice. The packages are correctly on the CDs but the dependencies do not seem to follow with, for some odd reason. I can see all the packages but synaptics can't do anything with them because it can't find the dependencies. [05:59] and synaptics will find the dependencies automatically if they are on the CD, I guess?

[06:00] whipper: so what can I do? find the dependencies manually - if they even are on the CD - and install them? === prince_j2mmys is now known as prince_jammys [06:01] <_Whipper__> Borns: u can allways use comman-line.. :) [06:01] <_Whipper__> but im of to a coffee and a dag > [06:01] <_Whipper__> fag [06:01] <_Whipper__> dmn [06:02] whipper: I grew up on DOS so I can use the command line in principle, but for sure I will need to be lead through it step by step.. === merther_ is now known as merther [06:03] hey, anyone know how to use an http tunneler ?

[06:04] cactusfrog: it should have diagrams of master/slave etc [06:04] if i want to httptunnel out of university firewalls ? [06:05] yes i know it should [06:05] thats why i came here [06:05] it doens't [06:05] this is the only sticker on the enter thing [06:05] http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3603/3332703922_3ffbf1e91c_o.jpg [06:05] cactusfrog: then I think you're screwed, to be honest. You can try finding a diagram of a similar model maybe? or just guess your way... [06:05] i dont even have a pin or know where to put it... [06:06] cactusfrog: is there no pin in the back of the hard drive, next to where the cables go in? [06:06] what's his HDD problem? [06:06] uh there is no pin [06:06] cactusfrog: it is a sata drive [06:06] SATA drives still have jumpers ;) [06:07] whats a jumper? [06:07] hello guys [06:07] the plastic thing we are talking about [06:07] cactusfrog: but i think they need to be put in the correct sata slot in the motherboard [06:07] oh [06:07] it's a piece of plastic + metal that bridges between pins [06:07] to set mdoes [06:07] thats the jumper block [06:07] *modes [06:07] how to detect my usb in virtualbox ose?I installed winxp pro but it won't detect my usb...

[06:07] FUCKING DELL it says factory use only :S wont tell me how to use it! [06:07] daftykins: sata drives don't have that type of selection [06:08] BornSlippy: it is a sata [06:08] Scunizi, yes they do [06:08] look [06:08] at the scan [06:08] http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3603/3332703922_3ffbf1e91c_o.jpg [06:08] jigp, I don't think the OSE version has USB support does it??? [06:08] usually to set 1.5Gb/sec or 3.0Gb/sec Scunizi [06:08] cactusfrog: master/slave for sata can be determined in the bios [06:08] if it's a SATA can't the slave/master be configured via the motherboard cable placement just like with IDE? [06:08] Scunizi: exactly [06:08] ohh in the bios, that's fancy [06:08] ZykoticK9: I guess so because its not here.any ways to enable it? [06:08] Scunizi tell me how [06:09] well [06:09] daftykins: daftykins only if you have one of the newer drives.. and none of the sata drives have master/slave selection pins like a pata or ide drive [06:09] there are only two possible configuerations [06:09] so i all just do trial and error [06:09] cactusfrog: no [06:09] jigp, I think you need the other version of VB the PUEL version http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads has instructions for adding Sun's VB repository [06:09] Having problems with ICH9 Realtek HD sound. It comes out very faint and tinny. [06:10] Hello, I am having problems getting direct rendering to work with Nvidia drivers 180, also, drivers 177 gives me the error: "Nvidia kernel module not found." but 180 doesn't give me that error [06:10] cactusfrog: look for the same slot where the hdd is fixed on the motherboard right now. it should be labelled sata 1 or sata 2 something. [06:12] Why is copy-pasting behaving so strange between applications in Ubuntu? [06:13] (some times it works, some times it doesn't) [06:13] foul_owl: to install drivers directly from nvidia you have to first uninstall all nvidia reference stuff in synaptic.. then when you do, do the install you have to do it from a tty without the gdm running.. otherwise you'll have errors / problems [06:14] whats the package that when you say go foobar in a shell it goes, you need the barfoo package [06:14] I recomend not using the 180 drivers [06:14] scunizi: I have tried installing the nvidia drivers, but it can't load the kernel module with those either. not sure why. [06:14] programan: depends on the 180 driver.. 180.29 works great for me [06:14] how can i chown everything in ~ [06:14] so dir performs like ls, but ls doesn't work in my terminal, is this normal? [06:14] and i mnea the drivers directly from nvidia [06:14] !find Squashfs [06:14] Found: squashfs-tools, squashfs-source [06:14] Hmm [06:14] foul_owl: install build-essential and headers [06:15] !chown [06:15] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [06:15] already installed [06:15] !find filesystem.Squashfs [06:15] Package/file filesystem.Squashfs does not exist in intrepid [06:15] foul_owl: something is missing that's keeping the install from compiling the kernel mod.. [06:15] what is really frustrating is that setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose does nothing. no extra info from glxinfo regarding why direct rendering doesn't work [06:15] it says that the kernel module has compiled successfully though [06:15] it just can't load it i guess [06:16] foul_owl: and you rebooted or just restarted gdm? [06:16] hi all [06:16] rebooted [06:16] what is funny is that i had direct rendering work with 180 drivers, but only for a few days [06:16] foul_owl: weird.. I've done it on 3 different computers [06:17] no reason why it failed, and i don't know how to check why it doesn't work now [06:17] foul_owl: AH.. did you get a kernel upgrade when it stopped? if so you have to reinstall them [06:17] coreyman: man chown [06:17] i manually created another RAID5 volume using some empty space on my 4 disks. Now when I boot up, a wierd new 400gb volume is automatically mounted but it is inaccessible - the volume I was supposed to have made is 200gb. Also there are no new entries in my fstab. Should there be something in my fstab? How do I mount/access my new RAID volume? [06:17] possibly, but i have reinstalled the 180 drivers since, and direct rendering still doesn't work [06:18] not the drivers directly from nvidia, but the nvidia-glx-180 package [06:18] thanks for your help btw [06:19] foul_owl: and when you do the install is the gui running? .. I install the drivers directly from nvidia.. the other package is 180.11 which didn't work very well for me.. also the 180.35 driver has issues. [06:19] is there any way to see WHY the kernel module doesn't load? [06:19] ok [06:19] cool [06:19] foul_owl: probably but I don't know how. [06:19] i am not using the hardware drivers manager, i am using just the command line [06:19] i have gotten a kernal error on windows [06:19] before [06:20] blue screen saying the kernal unexpectly shut down [06:20] do ubuntu have lex/yacc package? [06:20] is there a tool for me to create a compressed image of my hard disk. [06:20] and i was using 180.23 or 26 can't remember [06:20] coreyman: partimage [06:20] How do I share an internet connection between my laptop and xbox 360 (wireless ---> wired) using the 8.10 network-manager?? [06:20] Qt [06:21] hi please is there any utility to record radio station in linux(i have a lot of utility that did this with windows)?* [06:21] WIGGMPk i dont think that is with ubuntu. [06:21] i have been having this problem since august 2008 (see post in forums, lol) [06:21] foul_owl: although you're installing from the command line, is the gui still running? [06:22] coreyman: what do you mean?? [06:22] is x still running? yes, but i always reboot [06:23] foul_owl: that might be part of the issue.. you go to ctrl+alt+F3 , log in and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop.. then install.. then reboot [06:23] so im trying to use partimage, but when i press enter in the first "box" it doesnt do anything [06:23] nvrmind had to press directional arrow [06:24] interesting. are we talking about the free drivers too? I stop gdm when installing the drivers directly from nvidia, because it says i should, but i need to stop gdm when installing the free drivers too? [06:25] Hi, I am trying to compile kernel on my laptop but i am getting the error at the time of installing package. The error is E:Couldn't find package linux-kernel-devel. I am following the instructions given at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/kernel/compile. please somebody help me out of this problem. [06:25] foul_owl: anything that isn't listed in system>admin>hardware drivers must be installed with gdm stopped [06:25] also, i might have tried building and install mesa 7.0.3 a few months ago, will the nvidia-glx-* package overwrite my mesa install? (i tried building mesa to fix my dri problem in the past) [06:26] foul_owl: don't know.. I haven't delt with that scenerio at all. [06:26] foul_owl: why would you build mesa? nvidia does not use mesa [06:26] it is listed under hardware drivers, but i don't use the hardware drivers manager, because it is buggy. it says drivers are enabled when they are clearly not [06:26] alap: what version of Ubuntu are you using? [06:26] respecting, if you mean internet-radio streams you could look into streamtuner in repos or at http://www.nongnu.org/streamtuner, which is a gui front end to streamripper a cli app also in repos [06:26] foul_owl gdm locks up with me using a dual monitor set up and nvidia drivers, kdm is perfect [06:26] i built mesa because i was trying to get support for some new cube mapping feature i think? [06:26] foul_owl: by running the nvidia.com installer, you've crippled hardware drivers [06:27] interesting [06:27] coreyman: I don't have that issue at all.. in fact watched a movie tonight from laptop on the "big" tv [06:27] hi [06:27] foul_owl: as I said, nvidia does not use mesa [06:27] coreyman, really? hmm.... you're using intrepid? b/c on hardy i've never had a problem... (i haven't upgraded yet...) [06:27] using intrepid [06:27] can i unistall the winbind service ? [06:27] ok, got it, i was just experimenting with mesa [06:27] my monitor is set to above. [06:27] if i set it to left, right or below its fine [06:27] but above, it locks up [06:28] i should NEVER install the drivers from nvidia.com? [06:28] kdm it's fine [06:28] foul_owl: I do [06:28] foul_owl: I don't recommend it, but if you already have ... [06:28] see, i can get 180 drivers to work from apt. but no dri. [06:28] when i try to disable it it pops out a message that says "may affect your system behavior in several ways, possibly leading to data loss" === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [06:29] could it be a hardware issue? could somthing be wrong with my video card? [06:29] So can i just disable the winbind service ? is it safe ??? [06:29] ok im goin to sleep [06:29] foul_owl: I do only because that's the only way for my machine to get acceptable performance. I don't run compiz unless I want to make a win user drool [06:29] my video card has run a bit hot in the past, but i can't imagine it screwing up dri [06:29] is there a way to create shortcut words for the terminal like sag for "sudo apt-get" ? [06:29] cholisterix: do you use Samba? [06:29] anyone know how to disable IPv6? [06:29] foul_owl, how did you install the nvidia drivers? [06:29] rww: not very often [06:29] scunzi: i hear you on that! [06:29] cholisterix: if you use samba then no [06:29] rww : only some times [06:29] foul_owl: not a chance [06:30] rdw200169: apt [06:30] quibbler, : can i just disable it and when i want it i can enable it? [06:30] crdlb: regarding hardware issue, right? [06:30] constantine_: Sure. Add something like this to the end of .bashrc: alias sag='sudo apt-get' [06:30] foul_owl, are you sure that your card is supported? have you installed drivers in the past from any other source? [06:30] that is sweet rww thanks [06:30] foul_owl: yes [06:30] cholisterix: don't knpw never tried it [06:30] constantine_: then run "source .bashrc" to apply the new setting, or open a new terminal. [06:30] anyone know how to use gdb? i need to get a backstrace on a program that's giving out a segmentation fault [06:30] know [06:30] i have had direct rendering work. but only for a few days. then it stopped without warning [06:31] quibbler, : anyway thanks :-) [06:31] foul_owl: so you have never used the nvidia installer on this install of ubuntu? [06:31] daftykins, dangit, i read how to do that somewhere, its a special line you put in when it loads a module, or something [06:31] danfg: there is a great tutorial on gdb [06:31] Hi all [06:31] cholisterix: winbind is a samba service that does some authentication stuff you may or may not need. If you don't need it, it's safe to disable it. More info: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html [06:31] danfg: but the program needs to be compiled with debuging symbols [06:31] Im new to ubuntu, been posting on the forums, wondering if anyone can help me out with a few things [06:31] rww : o cool Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!! :-) [06:31] danfg: shall i find it? [06:31] !ask | KyleGP [06:31] KyleGP: 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. :-) [06:31] rww: to run that, I just type "run "source .bashrc" in the terminal? [06:31] foul_owl: i'm not sure i want to learn how to use it. do i need these debugging symbols to get a backstrace? [06:32] ah right rdw200169 [06:32] daftykins, was that enough information? [06:32] foul_owl: i just need to show it to the author, he asked for it [06:32] well i didn't even google yet, just felt like asking, but thanks :D [06:32] Okay, so Metacity is ubuntus default. Emerald is a window themer, what exactly is GTK? [06:32] danfg: let me find this tutorial for you [06:32] constantine_: firstly, you edit .bashrc and add the alias command. Then, you type "source .bashrc" in the terminal to apply the new .bashrc stuff. [06:32] KyleGP, its one of the window GUI programming libraries [06:33] KyleGP, there's also QT, for example [06:33] foul_owl: u sure i need to learn this? i don't feel like it. i just want to get the backstrace on the segmentation fault and get outta there fast [06:33] rww: thanks, they should have wrote that at the beginning of this book lol [06:33] based on TK [06:33] and GTK runs using Compiz? [06:33] KyleGP, yes. [06:33] KyleGP: emerald is a decorator for compiz (a window manager), gtk-window-decorator is the default decorator for compiz (which uses the same theme as the metacity window managger) [06:33] Ah I see [06:33] danfg, let me see if i can remember [06:33] I'm putting together a home theater PC and looking to use Ubuntu. I'm planning on getting a wireless keyboard. Will that be an issue during the OS install? Will it recognize a wireless keyboard? [06:33] constantine_, : Just be aware than when you assign = you must have no spaces :-) [06:33] KyleGP: gtk-window-decorator has gtk in its name not because it uses gtk themes, but because it uses the gtk toolkit [06:34] Okay, one big thing thats confused me is Ive gotten a tone of emerald and GTK themes and such, but they dont change the top control bar (Were apps, places etc.. are) [06:34] rww: I am using 8.10 [06:34] KyleGP, GTK is usually just a term used to describe an application designed to operate in Gnome (Gnome Tool Kit) [06:34] but [06:34] KyleGP: you want metacity themes [06:34] they only change the window theme, not the control bar [06:34] cholisterix: right, it will see a seperate argument [06:34] danfg: gdb PROG_NAME [06:34] So I have to get an emerald theme, then a metacity theme for the top panel? [06:34] alap: do the "sudo apt-get build-dep linux" line on that page instead of the apt-get install one, then. [06:34] KyleGP, that's because the panel is run by 'gnome-panel' [06:34] run [06:34] backtrace [06:34] and I think that's it [06:34] KyleGP: oh, the panel is just a gtk app, so it's themed like any other application [06:34] KyleGP, and neither Compiz nor Emerald take that over [06:35] So its seperate to compiz and emerald, 2 seperate things? [06:35] KyleGP, sort of, its more an integral part of Gnome [06:35] rdw200169, GTK is note gnome tool kit, i believe it is GIMP toolkit [06:35] constantine_, : yes and that's not what we want sometimes... :-) [06:35] crdlb: yes, i have used the nvidia installer, once. but i ran the uninstaller too. [06:35] ganymede, close enough. [06:35] and i have had it work even after nvidia.com installer [06:35] foul_owl: hopefully, that didn't break anything :/ [06:35] foul_owl: is the nvidia kernel module loaded? [06:35] ganymede, then why does gnome.org host the GTK documentation? [06:35] So I have to get a compiz or emerald theme, then a metacity top panel theme as well? (if that made sense lol) [06:35] i have had it work for a bit [06:36] How can I check if my video driver has been installed? Since Ive instealled KDE4, the screen is flashing off and on every three seconds or so. [06:36] 177 = no kernel module loaded. 180, yes kernel module loads [06:36] constantine_, : i saw some great video tutorials in youtube about bash shell do you want to share the links ? [06:36] big.net.id [06:36] KyleGP, there really aren't any panel themes, there's not a whole lot you can do with it. if you want a better looking panel [06:36] rdw200169: Hi How are you my friend? [06:36] KyleGP, look at either: cairo-dock, avant Window Navigator, or gnome-do (version 0.8) [06:36] paul68, what up! [06:37] rdw200169, gnome provides the language bindings for C++ (gtkmm) so maybe it hosts that documentation [06:37] I did it its doing fine but i could not understand why that error occurs because there was same error when i was compiling kernel on my desktop there i am using 8.04 [06:37] foul_owl: how do i set parameters for the program i'm debugging? [06:37] foul_owl: so it's loaded right now and the /var/log/Xorg.0.log doesn't show any nvidia errors? [06:37] hello everyone [06:37] okay, thanks, but just to clarify, the panel at the top's gfx are seperate to compiz/emerald yeah? [06:37] What is the correct syntax of using expect in the terminal? [06:37] I have a problem... can someone help? [06:37] danfg: you gotta read the tutorial. I have only used it to figure out where my segfaults happen ;) [06:37] ganymede, regardless, can we agree to disagree, that GTK and Gnome are closely related? [06:37] if i have two ip addresses on a single network card, how can i tell outgoing traffic (firefox and ssh and whatnot) to use a specific one? [06:37] !ask | FrikkinLazer [06:37] FrikkinLazer: 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. :-) [06:37] foul_owl: thanks you've been very helpful [06:37] crdlb: yes, but no direct rendering. [06:37] KyleGP: they're just gtk apps like any other on your gnome system [06:37] rdw200169, yes, i didn't disagree with that [06:38] danfg: no prob! gdb is a pretty good tool [06:38] amerinese, depends on which one has the default route (network wise) [06:38] :S lol [06:38] Cool no problem. Just want to be polite you know :) [06:38] KyleGP: some gtk themes such as murrine special-case the panel so that they can apply a different background to it [06:38] amerinese, check the command 'ip route'. whichever route has the highest priority that includes the word 'default' is going to be the route that all your traffic takes [06:38] Question: I get a message telling me I need to update apt-file. 'sudo apt-file update' does not seem to do anything. 'sudo apt-get update' does work, so my internet connection is fine. So... whats cooking? [06:39] amerinese, the priorities of the routes goes from top to bottom, so the one on the bottom is the last route attempted... make sens? [06:39] rdw200169: everything is great just trying to tackle some minor problems [06:39] foul_owl: dpkg -S /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 [06:39] alap: you shouldn't have. 8.04/hardy has the linux-kernel-devel package :/ [06:39] rdw200169: hmm yeah ithink so, need to play around a little [06:39] I want to password protect a folder on my desktop, how do I do this? [06:39] without changing my permissions for my account [06:39] rdw200169: incoming traffic isn't affected though right? i could have a web server replying to both ips unaffected by the routing priority? [06:39] amerinese, there are a lot of crazy things you can do with routes (etc..) using iproute2, but for that kind of help, let me first refer you to lartc.org [06:39] okay but theres been emerald themes and in the screenshot it shows what the windows will look like and it shows a different top panel. When I install the emerald theme, my windows change but the top panel doesn't. Is this because they simply got a different gtk theme/background for their top panel? [06:40] crdlb: brb need to reboot real quick, but will try that command [06:40] amerinese, yes, that' [06:40] KyleGP: yes, they changed their gtk theme too [06:40] http://www.compiz-themes.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=70284&file1=70284-1.gif&file2=70284-2.jpg&file3=&name=Dark+Ice+Emerald [06:40] like this [06:40] amerinese, ***that's correct. [06:40] KyleGP: notice that the "controls" inside the apps, like scrollbars match it too [06:41] yeah [06:41] rdw200169: ok thanks a bunch, will take a look at lartc.org [06:41] amerinese, as long as all your ip addresses and management satisfy basic networking rules, there shouldn't be any problems on the incoming side === FaMott is now known as FaMott|Sleeps [06:41] rdw200169: do you know anything about "expect" [06:41] So in that picture there, see how his top bar is different? He got a different gtk theme that has nothing to do with the emerald theme, correct? [06:41] paul68, what are you referring to? [06:41] rww: what you are saying may be write but i faced that problem but from next instruction it worked fine and am using it without any problem. [06:41] paul68, ohhh, wait, i know hwat you're talking aobut [06:41] night ubuntu ppl! [06:41] Hey guys [06:42] Night [06:42] rdw200169: you are the man :-) [06:42] paul68, yeah, that's an app that's supposed to 'automatically answer questions' right? [06:42] FrikkinLazer, You are using Hardy Heron >? [06:42] Does anyone have an answer for me? [06:42] How can I share my wireless internet connection with my xbox 360 via my wired ethernet connection using NetworkManager 0.7.0 [06:42] rdw200169: yes my friend [06:42] rabbit_ubuntu, : High ubuntu rabbit :-) [06:42] Aya [06:42] KyleGP: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Dark+Ice?content=69886 [06:42] I got a lil prob tonight [06:42] Not a prob...A challenge [06:42] paul68, i referenced the man page a few times, but I've never actually used it for anything [06:42] rdw200169: the only thing I don't know is how to launch it from the terminal [06:42] i installed virtualbox from the debian package...But nothing happened [06:43] hello [06:43] FrikkinLazer: sudo apt-get update ...checks your software sources to see if you have any updates for your installed programs [06:43] When I opened the application menu...Nothing was there [06:43] paul68, if i'm not mistaken, expect is supposed to be used in a bash script [06:43] but the installation said successful [06:43] rww: another thing is i am unable to configure irc on laptop [06:43] This is the GTK edition, so Im guessing I take the png images from the tar.gz file and set them as the panel background? [06:43] rabbit_ubuntu, : does it runs by the shell ?? [06:43] can i install mail server on intrepid desktop? [06:43] I dunno [06:43] KyleGP: if it doesn't do it automatically, yeah [06:43] naymyowin, yes. run 'tasksel' in the terminal, and select 'mail server' [06:43] I was expecting to see it in the application menu [06:43] !mailserver | naymyowin: yes. Instructions [06:43] naymyowin: yes. Instructions: Ubuntu supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and provides mail server software of many kinds. You can install a basic email handling configuration with the "Mail server" task during installation, or with the "tasksel" command. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer and https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/email-services.html [06:43] According to scrnshots iv seen [06:43] rabbit_ubuntu, : hmm why not reinstall it [06:44] Its supposed to [06:44] FrikkinLazer, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-file/+bug/179420 [06:44] I did [06:44] well no I mean [06:44] if I get the emerald edition [06:44] install that [06:44] This is the second time im using the deb pack [06:44] then get the GTK tar.gz, and take the backgrounds out, I can use the emerald theme with the backgrounds i took from the GTK version [06:44] KyleGP: you probably want both of them [06:44] rabbit_ubuntu, : did you tried installed from the repos ? [06:44] FrikkinLazer: please do not pm me [06:44] yeah, so thats the way to do it right [06:44] paul68, at least, that's what i would have done with it. [06:44] cholisterix:I did, but it gave me an older version [06:44] KyleGP: gtk is the window contents, emerald is your window borders [06:45] cholisterix: Which did show up in the app menu...BUT [06:45] which is better exim4 VS postfix? [06:45] ah I see [06:45] rabbit_ubuntu, : hmmm in mine it is the latest one [06:45] and gtk is also the top panel in ubuntu [06:45] correct? [06:45] cholisterix: When I tried running xp out of it it said error [06:45] cholisterix: something something [06:45] rabbit_ubuntu, : do you use Ubuntu 8.10 ??? [06:45] cholisterix: about the Kernel I beleive [06:45] KyleGP: because it's just an window without borders :) [06:45] a window* [06:45] dpkg -S /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 give me : [06:45] diversion by nvidia-glx-180 from: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 [06:45] diversion by nvidia-glx-180 to: /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa [06:45] libgl1-mesa-glx: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 [06:45] foul_owl: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:46] ah i see [06:46] rabbit_ubuntu, : hmmm simply upgrade :-) [06:46] rdw200169: but now I don't know to launch it [06:46] now the only thing I dont get is metacity [06:46] I thought metacity was the window contents :S [06:46] the default one for ubuntu [06:46] is it normal for desktop to have no default icons on desktop? [06:46] rabbit_ubuntu, : and then you will see the latest version in the repos as mine :-) [06:46] no [06:46] paul68, did you try: "chmod +x ; bash ? [06:47] KyleGP: metacity themes are also for the window border, but only when you're not using emerald [06:47] cholisterix: Fair enough [06:47] cholisterix:I tried that I think [06:47] rabbit_ubuntu, : why stick to an older version anyway ? :-) [06:47] <_Whipper__> Q: I have tuned up my Ubuntu 8.10 just the way i want it, How do i make it a bootable, nice desktop cd/dvd ? [06:47] cholisterix: sudo apt-get upgrade [06:47] paul68, you should just run it like a normal bash script, the #/usr/bin/expect takes care of selecting expect as the execution tool [06:47] cholisterix: Right? [06:47] rabbit_ubuntu, : yes :-) [06:47] cholisterix: lol [06:47] cholisterix: I did that [06:47] cholisterix: 4 times [06:47] rabbit_ubuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:47] cholisterix: it upgraded ffox [06:47] cholisterix: lol [06:47] paul68, just like #/usr/bin/python picks python as the interpreter for a .py file (etc...)

[06:48] rabbit_ubuntu, : that says "mark all the upgrades" [06:48] _Whipper__, If you just want to make BackUp.. Try SystemImager [06:48] lnb_: I don't think there are any icons on the desktop by default [06:48] cholisterix: Ahh... [06:48] lnb__: ubuntu turns those off [06:48] how do you turn them on? [06:48] paul68, i dunno :( [06:48] cholisterix: Makes sense, I think I will do that now eh? Much thanks. Will be back soon (Y) [06:48] rabbit_ubuntu, : or simply start the update manager from the system menu :-) [06:49] lnb__: gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/desktop [06:49] ahh ok thanks [06:49] apt-get moo [06:49] rabbit_ubuntu, : ok no problm Good luck :-) [06:49] <_Whipper__> Quiz: Nope, I want to make it a "real" bootable dvd with a GRUB etc.. :) [06:49] _Whipper__, For customized Live CD == Remastersys [06:49] !moo | Spy1134 [06:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about moo [06:49] are there boot options to set a hint port address of the cd-rom drive? xubuntu installer can't find the cd-rom at step #3 even though it just loaded from it [06:49] paul68, like i said, i never fooled around with expect, at least the file *looks* alright...

[06:55] Having problems with realtek HD sound being very faint...ICH9 chipset [06:55] how do i find the password for my computer's su command.... i know the password for the sudo.... arent they the same.... [06:55] what are you doing with the bot? [06:55] paul68, yes, [06:55] hi [06:55] Ububegin, : sometimes can be the same [06:55] ububegin: there is no superuser in ubuntu, it is disabled i believe [06:55] !su [06:55] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [06:55] FrikkinLazer, do a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-file update [06:55] whenever i clicked on nbeebo, pidgin freeze [06:55] Ububegin: u have to set it manually for the first time. [06:56] (patiently waits...) [06:56] Ububegin: the root account is disabled on Ubuntu by default, so su doesn't work. Try sudo -i. [06:56] paul68, check /etc/ssh/sshd_config (its at the very top) [06:56] !noroot | bRUTEfORCE [06:56] Ububegin, : in a typical Ubuntu desktop there is no pass for root ? [06:56] bRUTEfORCE: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [06:56] Scooma: sudo apt-get update works fine [06:56] bRUTEfORCE: how do i set it, dude.. [06:56] can't i doubleclick on chat user? [06:56] Ububegin, : try john the ripper :) [06:56] !sudo > cholisterix [06:56] naymyowin, lol [06:56] Scoome: sudo apt-file update does nothing... it just sits there [06:56] cholisterix, please see my private message [06:56] Ububegin: i wont. i just got a warning. [06:56] So whats the difference between Metacity and GTK? GTK is just for use in emerald and Metacity is normal without any fancy compiz stuff? [06:56] did any one here know the IRC channel and Server for "pango" project? Does it even exist? [06:56] Ububegin: use sudo -i [06:56] metacity is the renderer [06:56] KyleGP: metacity is the window manager [06:56] foul_owl: ok, this is a bit magic, but it may work: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx-180; sudo apt-get --reinstall install libgl1-mesa-glx; sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [06:56] !moo-#ubuntu-offtopic | daftykins [06:56] nbeebo: hey [06:57] Ububegin, : It will brake it :-) [06:57] i m not kidding [06:57] a2: can u hear me? [06:57] busy channel [06:57] ok Spy1134 seriously what the hell is your problem? [06:57] FrikkinLazer, and do a sudo apt-get upgrade [06:57] pundiramit: irc.gnome.org #gtk+ [06:57] ubuttu : hmmmm ok LOL [06:57] hey alll, [06:57] what r u up to?? [06:57] thanks folks... sudo -i seems to be working... is there a difference between ubuntu server and desktop.. cos in the server, su works [06:57] naymyowin, : hi [06:57] !ot | naymyowin [06:57] new-tu, hey [06:57] naymyowin: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:57] KyleGP, ok, let me break this down for you. GTK is what the programmer used to program the contents of the window(s) he creates. He doesn't care about the border of the windows, he only specifies the contents. Gnome, on the other hand, offsets windows border management to metacity (usually). [06:58] let's chat privately [06:58] who the hell was that and why did they keep involving me in their damn bot using attempts =| [06:58] Ububegin: not really, su shouldnt work in ubuntu server [06:58] !ot [06:58] thanks crdlb [06:58] new-tu, so you got the setup from intel? [06:58] yup [06:58] got correct drivers [06:58] i dont know who is bot and who is not [06:58] new-tu, what did you get? gimme the file name [06:58] Ububegin: well ubuntu desktop is in one way ubuntu-server plus a graphic interface, well not really but it is [06:58] crdlb: thanks! I will give that a try, will be back to report on success or failure [06:58] extracted... then siad "wtf now?" [06:58] sorry can anyone show me what to type to post something in the room like !DNS etc ...??? [06:58] hsny|eee: but its working.. in the server edition installed at my place... [06:58] foul_owl: you shouldn't even need to restart X when it's done [06:58] new-tu, make sure you use my name in the reply because it's hard to find your replies [06:58] KyleGP, for example, GTK is (one of) the ways the programmer specifies drop boxes, text boxes, menus, etc... [06:58] hsny|eee: the su command , i mean [06:58] can i setup ubuntu mail server without installing LDAP and DNS ? [06:59] Or you can use Compiz as the window manager, giving it cool effects and such? [06:59] sure... brb [06:59] Ububegin: su should work but you dont have a password for it [06:59] KyleGP, yes, gtk-window-decorator [06:59] Scooma: its updating now. Why doesnt sudo apt-get update not do a upgrade as well? [06:59] scooma: sure... brb :) [06:59] how do i make that !ubuttu thing work ??? [06:59] cholisterix: do you mean that you'd like a list of bot commands? [06:59] rdw200169: I know you can adapt the ports thats not my problem, at work we are behind a proxy server and my boss closed every port but leaves ssh port 22 open so I can go out through ssh however I am not able to connect to my server since my provider closed everything down under port 22. so I have to find a way that I can go out under port 22 and enter on port 50022 for example [06:59] KyleGP, most people like Emerald Though, because they can do more with it. it takes up more computer processing though [06:59] rww : yes yes [07:00] !list | cholisterix [07:00] cholisterix: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [07:00] FrikkinLazer, cos you're just updating the list of what's available so apt-get and synaptic can figure out if anything is new [07:00] FrikkinLazer: update is more, check for new pacakges, but i like to check for new packages but not always upgrade them [07:00] What things can you do with emerald that you cant with GTK for example? [07:00] man you had to change .thunderbird to .mozilla-thunderbird argh! [07:00] new-tu, ok [07:00] !seen lancelot_rw [07:00] I have no seen command [07:00] Like transparency? [07:00] cholisterix: the first link has a searchable index. [07:00] !msgthebot > cholisterix [07:00] cholisterix, please see my private message [07:00] paul68, so you want a back door into your office computer? via ssh? [07:00] !list | rww thanks [07:00] rww thanks: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [07:00] paul68, without you having to be there? [07:01] scooma: Here ya go... i915Graphics.tar.gz [07:01] Scooma: why does sudo apt-get upgrade upgrade firefox? [07:01] rdw200169: I am at the office but want to reach my server at home without asking my boss to open port 500022 [07:01] FrikkinLazer: because there is a new version there [07:01] rww, : Thanks know i will use /msg first :-) [07:01] new-tu, k - gimme sec [07:01] paul68: reverse ssh tunnel maybe [07:01] cholisterix: Back [07:01] Did the upgrade [07:01] scooma: cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool. :) [07:02] hi, I recovered from erased partition using testdisk, I used to have two partitions windows and ubuntu, now grub only shows ubuntu, I'm stuck trying to edit fstab and grub so they include my windows partition in the options [07:02] paul68, is that the port your ssh server at home runs on? [07:02] scooma: so duso apt-get upgrade doesnt upgrade apt-get, it pretty much upgrades all the packages... kk [07:02] cholisterix: At least attempted to....All 3 ways. Synaptic, Terminal AND Upgrade Manager [07:02] rdw200169: nope just an example [07:02] rabbit_ubuntu, : so do you have know the latest one? [07:02] cholisterix: No changes [07:02] JordiRT, congrats on the recovery! === xxx is now known as Guest47215 [07:02] cholisterix: But when I go to system Monitor....It says Ubuntu Release 8.04 Hardy [07:03] rabbit_ubuntu, : one minute sorry , i have no lighter for my chigarette BRB [07:03] new-tu, okay so you need to unzip it and then untar it. can you open a terminal window? [07:03] does anyone know what the default master password for seamonkey after a reset is ? [07:03] scooma: ok, the upgrade is finished, but sudo apt-file update still just sits there [07:03] lol [07:03] paul68, i'm just having a hard time figuring out where exactly the bottleneck is; you mentioned that your boss opened 22 outgoing from the office so you could ssh... why change to a higher port if 22 is open for you? [07:03] it's extracted [07:03] cholisterix: np [07:03] whoops... scooma - got 'em extracted in a folder [07:03] FrikkinLazer, until you become more experienced, it's best to just upgrade everything when you're told... later on you might need to hold back certain updates [07:03] scooma: terminal window coming up [07:03] rdw200169: since my provider closes everything down under port 1024 [07:04] crdlb: didn't work [07:04] scooma - got terminal window [07:04] paul68, ohhhh, got it. [07:04] FrikkinLazer, do you use apt-file a lot? [07:04] paul68: whos your proivder [07:04] so is there any way to automatically set grub to find this new partition? [07:04] how to create torrent files in CLI? [07:04] new-tu, okay change into the dir with the downloaded file [07:04] hsny|eee: in Belgium where I am located Telenet [07:04] crdlb: perhaps setting LIBGL_DEBUG to verbose could help? I have never gotten that to work though [07:04] i must say that ubuntu is really good for windows >> linux distro [07:05] scooma: no. Not even sure what it is. I got a popup message telling me I should update it. When I click 'yes', it opens a terminal, and I have to enter password. Then it just sits there. So now I am trying to do it manually. [07:05] foul_owl: since nvidia doesn't use mesa, you don't get anything with that [07:05] ie, they have their own libgl [07:05] paul68: i would personally get them to turn that off for your account, for example i have the option of having dangerous ports blocked before they get near me but i got that turned off [07:05] paul68, well, considering your situation, you would need a ssh-type proxy. i.e. something that translates 'outgoing ssh 22 -> mangle-mangle -> ssh 1025 [07:05] scooma: forgot unix command for that (me got dos-brain!) [07:05] !mint [07:05] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce) [07:05] crdlb: ahh, i see [07:06] scooma change dir [07:06] paul68, which would require a middle-man computer that can receive traffic on port 22 and send traffic on 1025 [07:06] FrikkinLazer, okay so you don't need it. it's just to report on file versions of packages. don't worry - you don't need it. close that terminal window that it opened and then go into (from the top menu bar) System -> Administration -> synaptic package manager [07:06] new-tu, cd [07:06] foul_owl: does glxinfo have NVIDIA for the vendors now? [07:06] rabbit_ubuntu, : ok i am back [07:06] !mintsupport [07:06] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [07:06] scooma: ok its open [07:06] scooma: stand by [07:06] cholisterix: Yessir [07:06] rabbit_ubuntu, : i found you solution the PROPER one :-) [07:06] rabbit_ubuntu, : so [07:06] paul68, personally, i would do that with a iptables mangle rule, but thats just me, i'm sure there are other ways to do i haven't thought of yet [07:07] FrikkinLazer, okay then do a search for apt-file [07:07] cholisterix: lol,bring it here [07:07] rabbit_ubuntu, : go to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [07:07] crdlb: no, nvidia is not mentioned [07:07] rdw200169: thats what I was figuring out to but you have to find someone to do so [07:07] rabbit_ubuntu, : and also see a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UpgradeFromOldVersion [07:07] new-tu, remember slashes are right-leaning [07:07] scooma: done, I can see it. v2.1.4 [07:07] crdlb: perhaps mesa glx is being used, when nvidia glx should be? [07:07] cholisterix:Alright, will do. Be back in a bit with good news eh? [07:07] rabbit_ubuntu, : that's it now you are ok :-) [07:07] FrikkinLazer, so when you click on it, you should get a description below [07:08] foul_owl: yes [07:08] rdw200169: altering the iptables at work isn't an option either lol my boss would kill me lol [07:08] FrikkinLazer, does it sound like something you need? I don't think so ;) [07:08] rabbit_ubuntu, : ok:-) [07:08] paul68, i would do it, but i don't think you would like it, i run wireless on a garbage internet connection [07:08] I created an encryption key but I can't apply a password protection to thunderbird [07:08] scooma: I agree. However, when an OS pops up a message telling that I should upgrade somehting, I pretty much try to do that. [07:08] crdlb: well now things are making sense. hmmm, how to fix this? [07:08] paul68, what, switching the port 22 opening he gave you to something else? [07:08] FrikkinLazer, anyway, right-click on the name "apt-file" in the top section and say "mark for removal" [07:08] foul_owl: that was supposed to work :/ [07:09] foul_owl: does it sill say Brian Paul? [07:09] rdw200169: sorry don't follow [07:09] yes, it does [07:09] FrikkinLazer, you're starting out well on the ubuntu road :) [07:09] paul68, you could explain to him that you could do more work at home (free work!) [07:09] crdlb: i built and installed mesa from source a long time ago [07:09] Scooma: got it - now in folder/directory contaiining the drivers [07:09] scooma: in terminal [07:09] for some stupid reason :( [07:09] rdw200169: well since I have to take calls it is no option lol [07:09] but i have had direct rendering work since then! [07:09] foul_owl: yeahh, but this should have taken care of it; maybe you do need to restart X for some silly reason [07:09] new-tu, type gunzip thefilenamehere.tar.gz [07:10] scooma: thanks. I need to start developing in linux. So im just messing around a bit getting to know the architecture. [07:10] foul_owl, you could just take a shot with the envy installer [07:10] foul_owl: I guess the libgl _is_ used in the server too [07:10] i didn't reboot, but i sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart ed [07:10] hmm, got command-not-found going, im in the admin group although i still get told the 'Ask your administrator to install one of them [07:10] I'm using GNOME, after I tinkered around with the menu panel, my Application menu is now unopenable. [07:10] restarting gdm should be enough, right? [07:10] foul_owl, because it sounds like you modules or something are mis-symlinked or something [07:10] FrikkinLazer, another way to easily update your packages is through the Add/Remove choiceunder "applications" but you have to close the Synaptic package manager first [07:10] foul_owl: yes [07:10] FrikkinLazer, there's lots of games [07:11] e guys what does the numbers in /etc/rc0.d really mean ???? [07:11] How do I open the Applications menu in GNOME now that it's reduced to one pixel? [07:11] scooma: not interested in games right now :) Tell me, is KDevelop worth figuring out? Is it a good environment? [07:11] cholisterix, each number correlates to a runlevel [07:11] it's the system runlevel cholisterix [07:11] daftykins, yes, i win! [07:11] ^_^ [07:11] foul_owl: hrm hrm hrm, how about: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 glxinfo ? [07:11] FrikkinLazer, Kdevelop is, it's been around for quite a while... ultimately it depends on what you're using [07:11] i'm tired, it's 7am where i am rdw200169 :P [07:12] not slept yet [07:12] daftykins, yeah, it's 2am here, i need to go to bed [07:12] FrikkinLazer, for instance monodevelop if you're a C# or VB/net person [07:12] I am using kubuntu 8.10 and was wondering how would i change from military time to standard time on the panel? [07:12] new-tu, done that yet? [07:12] rdw200169, : hmmm so those files start before login at the level of their name alright ???????/ [07:12] I can't edit the menu in the top panel in GNOME. [07:12] lol military time, not heard that one before. it's called 24hr vs. 12hr [07:12] scooma: cool - it lost it's .gz extension :) [07:12] crdlb: error, /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 can't be preloaded [07:12] !runlevels > cholisterix [07:12] cholisterix, please see my private message [07:12] scooma: Im not a c# person, but I know it VERY VERY well... itnt monodevlop sort of looked down on however? [07:12] rdw200169: do you know anything about nfs under hardy its giving me errors [07:12] scooma: still got .tar :) [07:13] new-tu, now you need to run tar -xvf thefilename.tar [07:13] cholisterix, there is a README in /etc/init.d/ that explains how the numbering system works inside those directories [07:13] scoooma: coooooooooooooooool... brb [07:13] new-tu, sorry tar xvf filename.tar [07:13] foul_owl: does that file exist? [07:13] paul68, reluctantly, no. i've never fooled with NFS. [07:13] YAY! [07:13] How do I fix the "Applications" menu now that I can't open it? [07:13] rdw200169: ok no problem get some rest my friend and thanks for your support [07:13] rdw200169, : hmm ok i will read it THANKS [07:13] new-tu, ah no, sorry brainfart. the first one [07:13] cholisterix: you sir, are indeed the ONE [07:13] Hello everyone i need a site for amerias army download please [07:14] scooma: anyway, thanks for the help [07:14] scooma: cheers [07:14] daftykins: if your so smart then how would it be changed? [07:14] cholisterix: Or mam.... (-__ -") [07:14] FrikkinLazer, cheers [07:14] rabbit_ubuntu, : is it ok now ? [07:14] cholisterix: Thank YOU! (Y) [07:14] Its started the d/l [07:14] scooma: now we have a dripkg folder [07:14] paul68, have a good night, my friend [07:14] ok heeeeere we go. libGL.so.1.2 doesn't exist. libGL.so.1 does. I preloaded that, vendor changes to NVIDIA [07:14] rabbit_ubuntu, : no problem that's the point HELPING each other ;) [07:14] cholisterix: So indeed, it is ok now. [07:15] cholisterix: When its doen i'll tackle the vbox [07:15] rdw200169: not me you lol I am at work and sleeping at work is not good and you stated earlier its 2 am on your side [07:15] foul_owl: alright: ldd /usr/bin/glxinfo | grep GL [07:15] with no preloading [07:15] rabbit_ubuntu, : Cool , good luck [07:15] rdw200169: its 8u15 am here [07:15] new-tu, hop into that dir [07:15] rabbit_ubuntu, : I 'll have to go to sleep bye [07:15] scooma: got it [07:15] bye guys ;) [07:15] cholisterix: arighty [07:16] cholisterix:Thanks again [07:16] c0rrupt0r, very funny approach to asking for help [07:16] scoooma: looking at filenames such as agpgart, cvs, etc [07:16] new-tu, when you do an ls -la [07:16] libGL.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libGL.so.1 (0xb7c91000) [07:16] paul68, ah, you're in europe somewhere, i'm in NYC, so, good morning!

[07:17] I can't open the Applications menu. Anyone know how I can get it back? [07:17] some ppl dont know how to raise their children i guess [07:17] damn, i really fucked things up by doing that [07:17] !ohmy > foul_owl [07:17] foul_owl, please see my private message [07:17] I understand how to encrypt files, but how do you password protect programs? [07:17] foul_owl: no, you messed things up :) [07:17] ahh, sorry about profanity [07:17] scooma: duhhh... "hop into that folder" in farking TERMINAL... I misunderstood [07:17] my bad [07:17] scooma: just a minute... [07:17] new-tu, yeah cd into it [07:17] !ohmy [07:17] Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [07:18] new-tu you can use your tab key to speed it up [07:18] foul_owl: remove that file and run sudo ldconfig [07:18] new-tu, like press cd d [07:18] foul_owl: and anything similarly named in /usr/local/lib for that matter [07:18] new-tu, you were taking so long i downloaded the package too... okay when you get into that dir, you need to run ./install.sh [07:19] scooma: now in the correct dripkg folder in termnal :) [07:19] scooma: now I hve to scroll up to find wtf you said next... [07:19] scooma: (new-tu red face) ;) [07:19] crdlb: wow, you are a genius. It works perfectly now. Holy cow! [07:20] no need to restart anything, direct rendering simply works now [07:20] scooma: .install.sh - now doing so [07:20] the Applications menu in Ubuntu just disappeared...anyone know I can get it back? [07:20] new-tu, ./install.sh [07:20] hi [07:20] secret901, right-click on the panel and say "add" [07:21] "you must be root to install the dri drivers" [07:21] Scoma: the menu item is there, but when I click on it, I see only one pixel [07:21] scomma: me needs to be root [07:21] secret901, it's near the middle, the "main" menu item [07:22] new-tu, then sudo ./install.sh [07:22] Scooma: it's already in the panel, but I can't open it [07:22] scoona [07:22] secret901, hehehe okay hold on [07:22] scooma: sudo ./install.sh - coming up [07:22] new-tu, you can type sco to get my name easier [07:22] crdlb, thank you so much for the help. I'm out, but will try and repay the help by continuing to spread Ubuntu [07:22] hello [07:22] Scooma: I see the Applications, Places, and System menus. I can open Places and System, but Applications does nothing. [07:23] how to disable moudles autoload when startup [07:23] foul_owl: you're welcome :) [07:23] secret901, right-click on applic and say "edit menu" [07:23] scooma: dri driver installation script just said hello - :) [07:23] modules [07:23] Scooma: I tried that, nothing happened. [07:24] Scooma: ah... looks self-explanatory :) [07:24] Scooma: I was editing the menu when this happened.

[07:25] new-tu, before you reboot [07:25] scooma: little stinker complaining that the dri drivers cannot be installed without the latest kernel modes. [07:25] Scooma: my icons are normal-sized [07:25] scooma: dri.log is mentioned [07:26] secret901, so the menu is there... but it's just a single pixel below it? [07:26] Scooma: yes [07:26] new-tu, so open update manager under System->administration [07:26] Scooma: when I try to open the menu, it just drops down one tiny square [07:26] new-tu, and update your system :) [07:27] scooma: hmmm...

[07:29] Scooma: nope, same thing [07:30] is there an issue with connecting to thenet through proxies within VirtualBox? [07:30] Scooma: I was editing the menu when it crashed and rendered the menu useless. Perhaps it's due to a config file being incorrect or blank?

[08:52] KyleGP: pretty much sums it up [08:52] ziroday : how to delete the existing files that I've installed in old version of virtualbox ose?it seems that they are still there [08:52] ok ill take a look now [08:52] also, i havnt installed vista yet, its only the setup im talking about thats windowed [08:52] jigp: well you could just rm the files [08:52] and if i view fullscreen it doesnt stretch it or anything, its just a smaller window in the centre of the screen [08:52] ziroday: im not a programmer dude :( [08:53] jigp: the files for your old vboxes will be in ~/.Virtualbox [08:53] ActionParsnip1 : thanks [08:53] jigp: I'm not a programmer either [08:53] hi [08:54] !hi | naymyowin [08:54] ~$ cd ~/.Virtualbox [08:54] bash: cd: /home/jigp/.Virtualbox: No such file or directory [08:54] naymyowin: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [08:54] how to enable modem on my toshiba satellite L300? [08:54] ah yes [08:54] I know this [08:54] jigp: try: cd ~/; ls -a [08:54] Ive played around with microsoft VM software and have done this too lol [08:54] KyleGP: its massive bloat but looks cleaner [08:54] Well Im learning alot about ubuntu, because I got sick of windows. [08:54] naymyowin: find out what hardware you have using lspci, then find out what module is used to support that hardware and install it [08:55] how do i turn desktop ubuntu into server ubuntu? [08:55] and even if I have to run windows, Id like to do it under linux :D [08:55] lol [08:55] KyleGP: sick of what exactly? [08:55] dsre: install some daemons? [08:55] i got sick of windows too [08:55] jigp: do sudo updatedb && mlocate vboxdrv.ko [08:55] it's just too easy [08:55] and becoming so un-necessary bloated [08:55] Stability being terrible,memory hog [08:55] install vista and the latest msn messenger, you'll run to Linux almost immediately [08:55] hey folks, welcome to #ubuntu-offtopic :-) [08:56] KyleGP: and running vista in a virtual box as well as linux isnt a huge memory hog? [08:56] but you're in the wrong channel Myrtti ! :) [08:56] agreed [08:56] i am trying to umount the samba shares at poweroff. I found a script for it and wrote it in /etc/init.d/ then I made a symbolic link with ln -s ../init.d/umountsmb K15umountsmb in /etc/rc2.d/ but it doesn't seem to work. how come? [08:56] well [08:56] yeah i guess it will be lol [08:56] KyleGP: you're shooting yourself in the foot using vbox [08:56] well [08:56] right now, im tripple booting [08:56] XP, Vista and ubuntu [08:56] KyleGP: so your rant about memory hog isnt cured by linux, in fact its making it worse [08:56] but If I can run what I need to all inside ubuntu without it being too slow then I would [08:57] how do i turn desktop ubuntu into server ubuntu? [08:57] dsre: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [08:57] dsre: why did you install server if you wanted a desktop system? [08:57] dsre: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-server && sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-deskop && sudo apt-get autoremove [08:57] action i have desktop and i want server [08:57] ActionParsnip1, i have desktop and i want server [08:57] ActionParsnip1: you got it the wrong way around :) [08:58] nn all [08:58] dsre: unless you have a 32bit chip and more than 4Gb ram you arent going to see any difference hardly [08:58] ActionParsnip1, ziroday: where do you guys get this commands? whew its very weird command.... [08:58] jigp: logic for me [08:58] jigp: which command are you referring to? [08:59] action, so there's no point in switching? [08:59] ActionParsnip1, , so there's no point in switching? [08:59] Also I want to know if i understand this correctly. Metacity is the window manager for ubuntu. Then there is GTK which is the compiz window dec, and emerald, another window dec. [08:59] sudo updatedb && mlocate vboxdrv.ko cd ~/; ls -a ~/.Virtualbox [08:59] dsre: no, for a normal user with a standard pc, not really [09:00] dsre: this is why I ask, what do you hope to gain? [09:00] jigp: you learn them over time, did the first command output anything? [09:00] ActionParsnip1, im going to be running a server [09:00] dsre: what spec is the server? [09:00] ziroday : /home/jigp/.Virtualbox - couldn't find command. I type it in the home folder at Places [09:00] dsre: and what will the server be hosting [09:00] jigp: run: cd ~/; ls -a [09:00] what do you mean what spec ActionParsnip1 [09:01] ziroday sudo updatedb && mlocate vboxdrv.ko this one works [09:01] jigp: read the screen, one folder will be clearly for your virtualboxes [09:01] KyleGP: metacity and compiz are window managers. emerald is a window decorator (note emerald is buggy and unmaintained) [09:01] ActionParsnip1 : yeah I saw lots of files cd ~/; ls -a [09:01] dsre: cpu type, speed and ram quantuty [09:01] jigp: sure, but what did it output? [09:01] ActionParsnip1 : but how to delete? [09:02] jigp: if you want to completely remove all virtualboxes and config run: rm -rf [09:02] jigp: then you will have no vboxes or settings for vbox [09:02] ziroday : sudo updatedb && mlocate vboxdrv.ko [sudo] password for jigp: /lib/modules/2.6.24-23-386/misc/vboxdrv.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-23-generic/misc/vboxdrv.ko /limodules/2.6.24-23-rt/misc/vboxdrv.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-23-server/misc/vboxdrv.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-24-generic/misc/vboxdrv.ko /usr/src/modules/virtualbox-ose/.vboxdrv.ko.cmd /usr/src/modules virtualbox-ose/vboxdrv.ko [09:03] dsre: server can help 32bit CPUs use more ram with PAE, but otherwise its the same OS with no X server by default [09:03] what are some other window decorators? what do you use? [09:03] ActionParsnip1: does my sun box deleted too? [09:03] jigp: right, well do rm /path/to/vboxdrv.ko for each of those line [09:03] hello [09:03] hi [09:03] i am trying to umount the samba shares at poweroff. I found a script for it and wrote it in /etc/init.d/ then I made a symbolic link with ln -s ../init.d/umountsmb K15umountsmb in /etc/rc2.d/ but it doesn't seem to work. how come? [09:03] jigp: yes as they are stored in the same folder [09:03] KyleGP: metacity is really the only window decorator out there/ [09:03] ActionParsnip1, whats pae? [09:04] Boohbah: http://paste.ubuntu.com/127109/ [09:04] $ rm /path/to/vboxdrv.ko [09:04] rm: cannot remove `/path/to/vboxdrv.ko': No such file or directory [09:04] dsre: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension [09:04] Kartagis, do you need to unmount samba shares? It's just a network connection.. surely it just terminates the connection when you power down? [09:05] r3dux, when I poweroff, it waits soooo long [09:05] dsre: you sound like you have zero reason to install server, you are unclear about what it actually give a user, you'd be better suited to running the desktop system. It can run exactly the same services and apps [09:05] Im confused....lol I thought metacity was a window manager [09:05] Kart - wow, odd - my NAS (mounted via samba) doesn't give a damn.... [09:05] KyleGP: it is [09:05] KyleGP: metacity is really the only window decorator out there/ [09:06] KyleGP: There are a lot of other window managers available, but they can be a ass to setup. Metacity and Gnome are developed very closely together making them work as just about the best combo [09:06] KyleGP: metacity is both :) [09:06] ahhh [09:06] I see [09:06] KyleGP: its the window manager for gnome [09:06] lol [09:06] KyleGP: by default [09:06] KyleGP: I believe the decorator part is called gtk-decorator [09:06] ins there any make channel? I need help setting make environment and have some issues [09:06] So for example, if I go into appearance under ubuntu and change stuff there, thats metacitys work? [09:06] KyleGP, KWin is the KDE one. [09:06] KyleGP: yes [09:06] Ahhh [09:06] hello :) [09:06] cool =) [09:07] and you can use GTK themes with metacity? [09:07] KyleGP: you can run a different window manager but with the same apps, like xfce [09:07] correct? [09:07] r3dux, what can I do? [09:07] KyleGP: sure [09:07] KyleGP: yes [09:07] Kartagis, what do you have connected? [09:07] r3dux, 3 samba shares [09:07] okay, and whats a window manager do exactly? Im using compiz window manager, does that just mean I can have all the extra effects and stuff? [09:08] Kartagis, if you don't have any samba shares does it close down real quick? [09:08] KyleGP: you can also boot into kde and kwin will be the window manager, but the apps will still act the same and be laid out the same, they will just be generated by kwin [09:08] r3dux, yes [09:08] -have +mount [09:08] KyleGP: compiz replaces metacity (hence compiz --replace) [09:08] Hmm... is your samba connection configured properly? [09:09] okay, well Im using Emerald as the window decorator, only because emerald is capable of transparency [09:09] KyleGP: it draws each app window in its own space then uses 3d grooviness to make them appear 3d [09:09] Kartagis, I'd try with each share separately, see if it's just one of the samba connections that's glitching [09:09] KyleGP: emerald is a window decorator, the top bar of each window [09:09] r3dux, //campus01/mtozses /mnt/t smbfs credentials=/root/.campus01 0 1 / //suimage/backup /mnt/backup smbfs credentials=/root/.suimage 0 1 / //suimage/image /mnt/image smbfs credentials=/root/.suimage 0 1 [09:10] and then what about the top control bar? is that metacity? === rage_ is now known as rage [09:10] KyleGP: I believe- Window Manager controls window functions and menus. Gnome controls the desktop. [09:10] ActionParsnip1: ziroday: is there a way to just use folders or view folders to delete the files? [09:10] KyleGP: That stated in simplest terrms [09:10] jigp: yep, with sudo nautilus [09:10] and the top control bar is part of the desktop so it has nothing to do with the window manager/themer? [09:10] ziroday: gksudo nautilus [09:11] jigp: use gksudo for nautilus, its a gui app [09:11] ActionParsnip1: my bad :P [09:11] Mmmm, I just noted something about Gnome Power Manager, when I plug my laptop in it says it is running on AC power. [09:11] However it is not in this particular case, [09:11] ziroday: np man, you pick me up too. thats teamwork :D [09:11] Kartagis, Not specifing uid and gid? Odd... Can I have: [09:11] It is running off a larger lead acid battery using a 12V DC->DC adapter [09:11] ziroday : what's the use of this>? rm /path/to/vboxdrv.ko why I need to delete this? [09:12] /192.168.1.100/Share /mnt/NAS smbfs username=r3dux,password=MyPasswordHere,uid=500,gid=500 0 0 [09:12] Should be updated to say it is running on external power [09:12] -can... "I have.." the above === edgex-_ is now known as EdgeX-[A] [09:12] KyleGP: Some window managers have much much more functionality, some have very much less. So there is no clear line between WinManager and DesktopEnvironment [09:12] ziroday : so I cannot use my existing files that I've installed esp os that I've installed?I cannot open them in this new sun box virtual? [09:12] rage: ideally, maybe theres a service you can restart [09:13] Is GTK the window decorator for metacity but can also be used with compiz? Im still a bit confused on what GTK is... (sorry for being a noob) [09:13] r3dux, does that effect things? [09:13] KyleGP: GTK is a graphical interface library. [09:14] hi, i am using hardy 8.10 on my laptop and getting error while compiling kernel. the error is E:unable to find source package for linux-ubuntu-module-2.6.27-11-generic. can any one tell me how and from where to download this package. i am referring instructions given at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/kernel/compile [09:14] KyleGP: GTK = Gimp ToolKit [09:14] so its basically just an extention...like...a pakage of images that you can use with compiz...metacity...? [09:15] ok I have two seagate freeagent external hardrives and have used ntfsprogs to rename them (much easier to tell apart) how come they come up as freeagents in my bios? [09:15] Kartargis, I'd guess yes, even though I've specifying 500, the user as set up on the NAS interface is 700 which over-rides it... try using my format for connection, ya never know.. [09:15] "i'm" === ahmad_ is now known as linnuxxy [09:15] cjae: bios doesnt read the names, bios can only read what the firmware says [09:16] cjae: the names you gave are read by higher level OSes like Linux or windows [09:16] KyleGP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK%2B [09:16] hello [09:16] ActionParsnip1: wasn't aware the the firmware had labels as well thank you [09:16] Boohbah: what do i do? [09:16] when I poweroff, what runlevel does the system go into? [09:16] i wonder if i am in the right channel [09:16] Hi, can you help me. When I enable compiz, all QT based applications shows menus like this http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/3640/qtmenus.png [09:17] As you can see no fonts visible [09:17] cjae: when you boot and the devices are detected, those are the things read from the IDE of each hard drive [09:17] cjae: you can't modify that [09:17] AZBigK, you never know unless you ask [09:17] also im in xchat, might I ask how you highlight my name when you reply to me? lol [09:17] Knysliux001: i'd head into #compiz for support [09:17] Kartagis, um, none? I don't think it "drops down" from 5... [09:17] or 7 [09:17] Knysliux001: compiz breaks tinigs good, its not worth it imho [09:17] ActionParsnip1: thanks for advice ;) [09:17] i would like to build a ubuntu with my customized apps [09:18] ActionParsnip1: I guess it is just like normal IDES coming up in the bios as master or slaves and such [09:18] I've installed ubuntu 8.10 from liveCD... and then apted install kubuntu-desktop... the problem is I have blue booting screening of kubuntu know... how return back to the orginal brown booting progress bar of ubuntu? [09:18] is there any specific tutorial out there? [09:18] cjae: SATA drives have IDE too [09:18] cjae: IDE == integrated Drive Electronics [09:18] AZBigK, there's an app that does exactly that - stores the config of ubuntu.... I can't think of the name of it though!!! =/ Lemme google... [09:18] KyleGP, Settings > Preferences > Alerts [09:18] is there a text to speech application for gnome or do i have to use kttsd? [09:18] cjae: I think you mean PATA [09:18] ActionParsnip1: I meant to say it another way you know what I mean though [09:19] I dont have that option [09:19] wait [09:19] AZBigK, this isn't the app - but same result >>> http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/howto-restore-all-installed-packages-in.html [09:19] found it lolol [09:19] I cannt seem to play audio in my quictime movies, any suggestions? [09:20] is it only on quictime? [09:20] will a customized kernel for specific laptop make it boot and run faster? [09:20] ah but I mean how do I make it highlight your name [09:20] like [09:20] every reply i get from you guys has my name in front, then your reply [09:20] cjae: i do, but I always pick people up when they say IDE [09:20] and its in red [09:20] ActionParsnip1: yes I know about the confusing IDE/PATA/SATA/ATAPI naming convention and rules [09:20] Kartagis: Run level 0 I believe. Trying to confirm [09:20] AZBigK, the app is called APTonCD [09:20] only on quicktime? Yes--everything else plays and sounds perfect, dronix [09:21] KyleGP, check the appropriate boxes [09:21] ActionParsnip tired [09:21] xtor_: let me try myself and see if I have any trouble before I tell u [09:21] looks like bind works fine, but i have a little error in syslog: http://pastebin.com/m20479eb4 [09:21] this will solve it sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so [09:21] bye [09:22] these boxes dont answer the question? Are you personal messaging me? [09:22] xtor_: what version r u using? [09:22] ActionParsnip I think I must have just blocked the idea of the firmware being read because it USB, don't ask me why [09:22] Kartagis: You want to know for poweroff only, and not reboot? [09:23] Seper, both [09:23] I have the latest VLC and Real Player(helix) 11 [09:23] xtor_: whats you ubuntu version? [09:23] xtor_: tried mplayer? [09:23] Kartagis: Your run levels are specified in /etc/rc* [09:23] why is it so hard for a gui front end to be made for mplayer? [09:23] mplayer aka totem? Yeah [09:24] tried real player, vlc, mplayer...they all FAIL [09:24] xtor_: its not a player issue... [09:24] Maybe I should download quicktime from apple [09:24] Seper, I know, but I don't know what is poweroff and reboot [09:24] it's pretty common when it's a borked file [09:24] xtor_: try this: sudo apt-get install w32codecs [09:24] Kartagis: The folders that have lots of links that start with K are shutdown folders [09:24] Real player told me that it could not run it [09:24] xtor_: its a codec issue... [09:24] dronix, quicktime is apple not ms [09:24] Kartagis: On a normal system, I believe they are 0 and 6 [09:24] xtor_: but qt is native for w32 [09:25] of course its a codec issue..Im just shocked vlc doesnt have the codects [09:25] xtor_: doesn't matter [09:25] xtor_: get the medibuntu repo and install w32codecs or w64codecs [09:25] Kartagis: K is for Kill, S is for Start [09:25] hi,.. can somebody spare one minute with me. I have a question. Thanks SO much. I'm from San Diego,CA. thanks. [09:26] !ask | spaarkplug [09:26] spaarkplug: 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. :-) [09:26] ziroday : can I use the os that I've installed in virtualbox ose? [09:26] oh,.. ok. kewl. [09:26] Kartagis: This info used to be kept in /etc/inittab, but I think Ubuntu uses upstart now. I'm unfamiliar with how upstart operates. :\ [09:26] is there a command to directly find out the location of an executable for a given command name? (without searching directories) [09:26] need help with audio [09:26] plouffe: which . E.g. which gedit [09:26] goody: whats up? [09:26] gooody: can you be specific [09:27] thanks ActionParsnip [09:27] Well,.. this is the question. How can i kill network manager from starting each time? I want to setup a DHCP3 server on my machine? [09:27] Seper: Kartagis: upstart is pretty much dropin replacement for SysV init [09:27] haha my home pc got bored [09:27] Kartagis: rc1, should be single user mode system [09:27] audio works after a couple of days after installation but now i don't have any audio.

I dont know where ubuntu has kept the services. [09:29] dronix: yup. can't hear any audio during login. [09:29] i'm new in this platform [09:29] r3dux, can I just delete S?? ? [09:29] Kartagis: Yeah, but generally you should use the tool celeritas said [09:29] goody: seems like your audio driver got messed up in the update [09:29] anyways... thanks ActionParsnip2 [09:29] mahin: everyone is at some point [09:30] Seper, it added the S?? too, which I don't need [09:30] update-rc.d apache2 remove, for instance [09:30] goody: what is your system info? [09:30] dronix: using ubuntu hardy. [09:31] Kartagis: the rcS?

[09:33] celeritas: He left [09:33] dronix: thanks. i'll this 1. [09:34] Seper: dodged off, hope he backed that up [09:34] Anyone had much luck w/ 3D accel in Virtualbox (64 bit linux host, 64 bit Windows 7 beta guest)? [09:34] I've got sound working after installing some realtek drivers in the vm... but accel is a no-go... [09:34] r3dux: i'm not aware that the 3d accel supports DirectX [09:35] celeritas: eh, if he knows what runlevels are, I figure he's probably ahead of the curve. But yeah, let's hope i'm right. :) [09:35] It has a DX <--> OGL translation layer in VirtualBox 2.1.4, but I think it's a bit fussy [09:35] Need to know how to become root: etc/privoxy/config [09:36] OR ---- I'm wrong, and it only has a GL layer...

[10:48] So I want to use the Guided - resize SCSI partition #1 and use freed space or use entire disk [10:48] sixnonep: gksudo gedit /etc/privoxy/config [10:48] Roxy: if thats what you want, go for it [10:49] sixnonep: gksudo to run graphical app as root, gedit is the app to run, /etc/privoxy/config is the file to open [10:49] I'm looking for the option to overwrite my current Kubuntu distro but leave the home folder untouched [10:49] Roxy: i thought you were upgrading your current install? [10:49] I am haveing problems with my remote desktop. Some times it will connect and some times it wont. Right now I can access my router, webpage, and SSH but remote desktop wont connect [10:49] Roxy: is home part of the / partition or is it on its own partition? [10:49] I am but there isn't an upgrade option [10:50] it's part of the partition [10:50] ActionParsnip2 - ok, so I'm looking at permissions to edit /etc/privoxy/config [10:50] Roxy: have you read the upgrade instructions ? [10:50] !upgrade > Roxy [10:50] I have [10:50] Roxy, please see my private message [10:50] Roxy: ok - so I assume you've mounted the ISO rather than booting from it ? [10:50] sixnonep: if you run the command i gave you will be able to edit and save the /etc/privoxy/config file [10:50] Roxy: as that's what the instructions tell you do to [10:50] ok [10:50] Roxy: sounds like you have the desktop cd, not the alternative [10:51] Roxy: you need to backup your data and reinstall as you have not put /home on a seperate partition (this should be the default option in my opinion but oh well) [10:51] I loaded up the Alternate CD but there was no upgrade option so I tried Alt-F2 but it doesn't prompt a textbox to input kdesudo "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" and then I tried kdesudo "sh /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade" both resulted in kernel panic errors [10:52] what else is out there for desktop environments besides gnome, xfce, and kde? [10:52] I used Other options on the splash screen [10:52] is there any good open source language translator for ubuntu] [10:52] would like to translate text from english to russia [10:52] russian [10:52] Roxy: show me the instructions you're following [10:52] I am haveing problems with my remote desktop. Some times it will connect and some times it wont. Right now I can access my router, webpage, and SSH but remote desktop wont connect. Any ideas whats going on? [10:52] dirtbag, lxde, and a ton of others check synaptic package manager [10:53] Roxy: it says you are supposed to mount the CDROM on your existing install - not boot from it [10:53] vadi01_, phrases or single words or what [10:53] Dabbill: is the remote deskop on the same system as the rest? [10:53] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [10:53] Oh [10:53] ikonia: thanks a lot [10:53] ActionParsnip2, yes [10:53] both [10:53] Is there a command to do that in bash as the GUI isn't functioning on my system [10:53] vadi01_, I just usually use the web interface of google translate [10:54] Roxy: command to do what ? [10:54] upgrade the distro from the CD [10:54] the alternate CD [10:54] Dabbill: check the service that you connect to is running and verify its port number, you could try restarting the remote desktop service [10:54] Roxy: you're not reading the instructions [10:54] Roxy: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:54] Roxy: the exact command you need are on that page you've posted [10:55] Boohbah_: no [10:55] Boohbah_: it's a CD install [10:55] CD upgrade [10:55] ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:55] ActionParsnip2, it was working like 2 hours ago, i rebooted the computer and now its not connecting, No settings for VNC have changed, [10:55] Alright [10:55] Roxy: actually READ the instructions [10:55] Dabbill: then check the vnc server is running [10:56] Dabbill: check any security is allowing the traffic [10:56] ActionParsnip2: saved gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [10:56] ActionParsnip2, how do i see if its up and running [10:56] ActionParsnip2: what to do next? [10:57] Dabbill: ps -ef | grep vnc on the server [10:57] I assume I'm supposed to enter kdesudo "sh /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade" into bash which results in kdesudo cannot connect to X server after I've booted Kubuntu [10:57] jigp: add the line from the site that defines the repo, but change intrepid for hardy [10:58] ActionParsnip2, says .. dabbill 6616 6599 0 02:57 pts/0 00:00:00 grep vnc [10:58] ActionParsnip2, i am guessing that means its running [10:58] Dabbill: then the vnc server isnt running [10:59] Dabbill: no thats the grep command you just ran running [10:59] ActionParsnip2, ahh okay [10:59] ActionParsnip2, how do i start the vnc server on command line then? [10:59] Dabbill: the vncserver is not started so there is nothing to connect to [10:59] is there a ubuntu metapackage which installs an X Server and the gnome desktop (including all the prefs programs, network manager, etc.) but doesn't install the office suite, evolution, etc.? I need a gui for a server but don't want all the apps and games [10:59] anyone use edubuntu servers before [10:59] Dabbill: i dont use vnc, i think its horrible and its hugely unsecure [11:00] !vnc | Dabbill [11:00] ActionParsnip2: vnc over ssh? [11:00] Dabbill: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [11:00] aboucher, what do you mean; a server has no gui [11:00] ne2k__: you got it, best way :) [11:01] the edubuntu server has a gui. i ve been looking it up to use it in my school for thin clients and i just wanted how others think of it [11:01] Anybody know if the Gigabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2H Motherboard is supported, I did not found any info at the wiki hardware support [11:01] ActionParsnip2, do you use any remote desktop? [11:01] xukun: check the chipsets - thats the key thing [11:01] ikonia, thanks [11:01] is there anyway i can get tty1..6 to use the VGA out on my laptop? [11:02] Dabbill: no i use ssh and X forwarding [11:02] ikonia, the chipset is nVidia GeForce 9400 [11:02] hello [11:02] ActionParsnip2, ahh i could never get x forwarding to work [11:03] ok - so check if that is supported [11:03] Dabbill: its default in openssh-server [11:03] I have a sound question for the Asus M4A78 motherboard [11:03] ubuntu grub cant detect sidux, which i installed on hd0,1, but detects win xp (hd0,0). how can i configute grup to offer me booting in sidux, too? [11:03] has anyone used edubuntu server for schools before [11:03] Dabbill: in windows install Xming and then use the command: putty -X username@servername [11:04] aboucher, you are having trouble running it? or just want to chat about it [11:04] Dabbill: you can then launch apps and they will be drawn on the windows display, linux clients can do this without extra libs as they are already installed [11:04] aboucher: just ask your question [11:04] i just want to hear what other people have to say about it [11:04] ActionParsnip2, thanks i will check it out [11:05] Oh [11:05] I see, hahahaha [11:05] What is the utility that asks your root pass when you goto synaptic or some other app?... [11:05] or should i go to another channel? === BlackWolf is now known as BlackWolf90 [11:06] Xunie: gksudo [11:06] letatcest, No, Ask here... [11:06] Okay I have an error here, dist-upgrade.py:cannot connect to X server [11:06] Is there a work around for this? [11:06] anyone else's firefox break this morning withh the latest update [11:06] Xunie: gksudo [11:06] I think I have X started [11:06] Roxy: I thought you where trying to upgrade ? [11:06] Here is my dpkg --configure -a output: http://nopaste.com/p/a14OVIAlb [11:06] Please tell me what I need to do [11:07] ActionParsnip2, No, [11:07] I am [11:07] ActionParsnip2, That is the one (you get when you press alt+f2) [11:07] Roxy: so what's the issue ? [11:07] I mounted the CD drive and I typed in sudo sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade [11:07] or atleast one that asks what to execute, even when I enter a shell or program ActionParsnip2 [11:08] and it gives me an X server error [11:08] even though X is started [11:08] Is it possible to run ssh Xforwarding from a Windows XP computer? [11:08] Roxy, type 'echo $SCREEN' for me, and paste the output will ya? [11:08] jrib: I tried to find a solution for th nfs on hardy but no luck will try another way to solve my problem [11:08] Roxy: please show me the output of "id" on a command line [11:08] no problem [11:09] Hello everyone. Any Gnome Do user here? [11:09] ActionParsnip2, where do i run that command? I have xming server:0.0 running on my PC [11:09] Xunie: i know what you mean, its krunner in kde. I dont use gnome [11:09] is there a ubuntu metapackage which installs an X Server and the gnome desktop (including all the prefs programs, network manager, etc.) but doesn't install the office suite, evolution, etc.? I need a gui for a server but don't want all the apps and games [11:09] paul68: the bug reports didn't have any comments with ideas? [11:09] Dabbill: fine, in putty type: firefox & [11:09] ne2k__, "gnome" ? [11:10] ActionParsnip2, nevermind.. [11:10] uid=1000(rox) gid=1000(rox) groups=4(adm), 20(dialout), 24(cdrom), 25(floppy), 29(audio), 30(dip), 44(video), 46(plugdev), 109(lpadmin), 111(scanner), 113(admin), 1000(rox) [11:10] That's the readout [11:10] joaopinto: nope, that depends on evolution, rhythmbox, etc. [11:10] mrwes, you'd need an X server running on the windows computer. Then it can be done (in fact, I've done it). another way is to use VNC [11:11] jrib: no did not solve a thing followed a view optoins however each time the same error will try to work something out with expect [11:11] Roxy: type "xhost +" then try it [11:11] ActionParsnip2, i get error cannot open display: localhost:10.0 [11:11] Roxy: for some reason you're user environment is mesed up [11:11] Dabbill: did you install xming? [11:11] ne2k__, because those are considered "gnome applications", if you want a customized set of apps, you will need to specific :P [11:11] Roxy: you've not done "su" at any point have you ? [11:11] paul68: with "expect"? The program? [11:11] ActionParsnip2, yes [11:11] Dabbill: is xming running on the windows pc? [11:11] ActionParsnip2, yes [11:11] I have not [11:11] Dabbill, sounds like an ssh-X-forwarding error. did you "ssh -X"? [11:12] joaopinto: I think that's nonsense [11:12] jrib: yes got a script to do scp with expect and do my filetransfer like that [11:12] hello [11:12] I am using xubuntu 8.10 [11:12] sprinkmeier, where would i type that? [11:12] ne2k__, what is nonsense ? [11:12] jrib: if you like I can send you this script through pastebin [11:12] My user environment does seem to be rather messed up, I think the system upgraded with files from gutsy because I was trying to get my sources.list file to work with the Aptitude network install [11:12] Dabbill: in putty make sure you have ticked Enable X forwarding [11:13] joaopinto: that rhythmbox is part of gnome [11:13] Dabbill: you have to do the following: in the main configuration window of Putty (you get it when you start Putty), select Connection section, then SSH, then X11, and make sure you tick the Enable X11 Forwarding option. [11:13] my problem is it wont reboot after a while [11:13] paul68: oh, you mean avoiding nfs altogether. If you still care about nfs, iirc nfs just couldn't start in the postinst script, so I'd look for logs that nfs writes to [11:13] I type "ssh -X user@host" to get an ssh session with X-forwarding on host. I can then execte X programs on host and have the display redirected to my current system [11:13] ne2k__, http://live.gnome.org/Rhythmbox [11:13] joaopinto: it's /for/ gnome, it's not part of it [11:13] it says unclean shutdown detected and start a drive check but my screen goes black and have to reboot [11:13] paul68: why do you need expect? Wouldn't scp be enough to transfer files? [11:14] ActionParsnip2, i do have it enabled [11:14] i did fsck while on live cd but didint help [11:14] jrib: I want to do it a sort of automatic way without having to enter my credentials each time [11:14] paul68: create an ssh key [11:14] ne2k__, apart from gnome the window manager, gnome has a defined list of applications as part of "gnome", rythmbox is one of those as far I can understand [11:14] paul68, ssh-keygen? [11:14] joaopinto: right. so how do I get gnome, but not the applications? [11:14] and an x server? [11:14] ah okay finaly it loads [11:15] ActionParsnip2, thanks, [11:15] jrib: tried that didn't want to work for some weird reason followed several howto but my system wouldn't allow it [11:15] any body here with a presario cq40 [11:15] anyone care to help? [11:15] paul68: it should work fine [11:15] ne2k__, maybe, gnome-session [11:15] drkns: you have to ask a question :) [11:15] !ask [11:15] 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. :-) [11:15] Dabbill: all better? [11:16] !anyone [11:16] joaopinto: ah, that looks good, thanks [11:16] jrib my question is how can i make my xubuntu to start up === geo is now known as geo05 [11:16] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [11:16] ActionParsnip2, yes, its really slow tho :( but it seems to be working [11:16] ne2k__, and probably you also want gdm [11:16] drkns, are you sure its dead? screensaver? power-safe mode? boot into recovery mode, less to go wrong. [11:16] totem is freezing in lap [11:16] it hangs during routine drive check [11:16] please help [11:16] ikonia would you know anyway to start to fix my user environment troubles? [11:16] jrib: I know but for some reason it doesn't want to on my system broke my braincells over it for three days and every option I took didn't want to work [11:16] Dabbill: its not bad, yuo can tweak it some but its a shedload more secure than VNC, vnc doesnt encrypt its data [11:17] Dabbill: you can use an ssh tunnel to make it secure though [11:17] Roxy: I've no idea how you've messed them up [11:17] no screensaver no power-safe [11:17] Roxy: have you ever done "su" [11:17] I have not to the best of my knowledge [11:17] drkns, any reason to suspect HW might be flaky? [11:17] ActionParsnip2, yea i understand that, but i realy dont need encryption its just a PC running at my dads house to maily host pictues heh [11:17] paul68: feel free to pastebin if you want to troubleshoot [11:17] Roxy: try typeing "gnome-terminal" see if it launches another termianl or not [11:17] typing sorry [11:18] I'm running Kubuntu [11:18] Dabbill: well if you are typing any passwords they are transmitted as clear text [11:18] does anyone know how I can tell Ubuntu to send my "ctrl+s" to rTorrent instead of freezing the screen? I connect to my server through Putty [11:18] Roxy: so ? [11:18] Okie dokie [11:18] I believe after certain number of start up drives flag em to be checked and kubuntu, ubuntu, xubuntu 8.10 all work till this 30is start up [11:18] ActionParsnip2, ahh okay [11:18] gnome-terminal: command not found [11:18] jrib: ok will do [11:18] Roxy: try "xterm" [11:18] joaopinto: hmmm, gnome-session doesn't appear to actually depend on an x server [11:18] ActionParsnip2, know of a how to on doing tunneling? === matthewbriggs is now known as aprilhare [11:19] and then it says i am gonna make a routine drive check and during that check it hangs and i have to shutdown the hard way and after that it says unclean shutdown detected and hangs again each time it checks the drive [11:19] xterm Xt error: Can't open display xterm: DISPLAY is not set [11:19] Roxy: show me the command you used again please. [11:19] Roxy: the one you used to start the upgrade [11:19] drkns, correct, 37 mounts or 60 days by default (IIRC). I had a dodgy disk once that died if I used the second half of it, if you have something similar and the fsck is the only thing that normally touches that part of the disk it might explain it. You ran fsck from a live CD? result? [11:19] Dabbill: http://martybugs.net/smoothwall/puttyvnc.cgi [11:19] ne2k__, which makes sense, you can use a remote X server, for a local gnome session ;) [11:20] Well this was a pre-existing problem it was actually what I was trying to fix by attempting the upgrade [11:20] Dabbill: ssh is more than just a remote terminal dude [11:20] Roxy: the one you used to start the upgrade [11:20] joaopinto: this is not helpful [11:20] joaopinto: I am wall aware of that [11:20] results are just fine no error nothing [11:20] but I used mount /cdrom/ and then sh /cdrom/cdupgrade/ [11:20] Roxy: - no the one to start the upgrade [11:20] while in the media directory [11:20] ne2k__, so you just need to install xorg [11:20] Roxy: - no the one to start the upgrade [11:20] I need some help configuring grub so it boots in my second OS, sidux. I get an error 13 when I write the stuff directly in menu.lst [11:20] ActionParsnip2, thanks for all your help, yea I am trying to learn all this remote stuff up till a month ago my linux PC was right next to me, so i could just use it as a normal PC to configure every thig [11:21] Well I was in the command line install but then I exited and booted Kubuntu [11:21] and then I did what you told me and read the directions again [11:21] Roxy: - no the one to start the upgrade [11:21] Roxy: just show me the command you used to start the install [11:21] Roxy: the "upgrade" to be %100 clear [11:21] I was running the upgrade from the mounted cd and it was kdesudo "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" [11:21] drkns, if the lice CD fsck worked then why is the normal boot still trying to fsck? the lice CD should have reset the mount counter.... [11:21] Roxy: ok - perfect [11:22] ok so do "DISPLAY=:0.0" [11:22] then try"xterm" [11:22] I dont understand either [11:22] joaopinto: you know i think I might just install gnome and be done with it [11:22] i am doing fsck now and it found some errors this time [11:22] Dabbill: some apps have http interfaces too, you can look into those [11:22] !name drkns [11:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about name drkns [11:22] xterm Xt error: Can't open display xterm: DISPLAY is not set [11:22] !name > drkns [11:22] same error [11:22] drkns, please see my private message [11:22] ActionParsnip2, yea i have gotten a couple of those working as well [11:22] Roxy: show me "echo $DISPLAY" please [11:22] does anyone know how I can tell Ubuntu to send my "ctrl+s" to rTorrent instead of freezing the screen? I connect to my server through Putty. Same question for ctrl+q [11:23] /dev/sda1 contains a file system with errors, check forced. [11:23] Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes [11:23] Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found. Fix? yes [11:23] Inode 573577 was part of the orphaned inode list. FIXED.

Usually the only time I get those sort of errors is when the disk is about to die. ext2 or 3? [11:25] thanks for all your help ikonia [11:25] 3 [11:25] All I have running is bash, I can see text but X crashed so I don't believe so [11:25] balrog__: no problem [11:25] How can I see the total % CPU used of the 4 cores? [11:25] Roxy: then why are you trying to launch X applications [11:25] Roxy: if there is no X server running - how do you expect to launch X applications ? [11:25] drkns, OK...3 i journalling so FSCK should _never_ need to fix stuff like this. SMART? [11:25] because I started the X server and when I tried to access the upgrade it crashes [11:25] I am not sure [11:26] Roxy: so why continue - it's crashed, you can't use it [11:26] ActionParsnip2: still i am unable to compile my kernel please help me out of this still stuck at same problem of module source . [11:26] drkns, can you run SMART tests? [11:26] Yeah, I was hoping to fix that [11:26] if I want a script tp be run at powerofff, do I need to put the symlink in /etc/rc2.d/ or what directory? [11:27] how can i run that [11:27] Roxy: you need to fix it before you upgrade [11:27] Is it possible to run ssh X-tunneling from a Windows XP machine? [11:27] Roxy: the upgrader is trying to use a gui - [11:27] Alright [11:27] mrwes: if you have an X11 server you can [11:27] alap_: apt-cache search kernel | grep source [11:27] ikonia, is there one for XP? [11:27] drkns, I use "/usr/sbin/smartctl --test=short /dev/sda" or "... --test=long ...". [11:27] mrwes: I assume you mean tunnel X over ssh - or just tunnels in general [11:27] alap_: you could even grep for your current kernel version numbers [11:28] ikonia, righ...tunnel X over ssh [11:28] I want to set up my system so that I can use the PHP mail() function, which requires sendmail and gods only know what else. Does this mean I also need postfix? I have huge gaps in my knowledge in this area. [11:28] Kartagis, power-off is runlevel 0, so /etc/rc0.s/S00xxxx should do [11:28] mrwes: you'll need an X server on your local windows box - look at things like exceed, or PC-X-Ware [11:28] Alright then, when I boot Kubuntu it mentions that the system recognizes a screen but that it can't access it, I have my xorg.conf file set to use vesa [11:28] mrwes: i use xming myself, its free [11:29] ikonia, K -- I'll check into those [11:29] hi what application should i use to create a startup usb stick [11:29] and I can't log in to Kubuntu as the X server keeps crashing [11:29] isotostick.sh seems to have been phased out [11:29] no such file [11:29] ActionParsnip2, looking at xming now -- thanks [11:29] mrwes, I sued to start a VNC session on the linux box, then connect (tunnelled through ssh) from the XP box as needed. [11:29] s/sued/used/ [11:29] Roxy: bot to recovery root console and run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [11:29] Roxy: then reboot [11:30] okay [11:30] never mind, I got it. stty stop undef [11:30] did the trick [11:30] I prefer the security of ssh over vnc [11:30] mrwes: make sure putty has the X forwarding option enabled too [11:30] Roxy: use "safe mode" when you boot kubuntu [11:30] ActionParsnip2: he needs a local xserver, putty is not an xserver [11:30] mrwes: then its simply a case of: putty -X user@server [11:30] ActionParsnip2, ok.. I have puTTY installed and working already [11:30] Hello, I'm having some problems with my logitech mouse resolution and was wondering if anybody could help me. [11:30] ikonia: i told hiim/her to install xming, that is an x server [11:30] speaking of VNC [11:30] ActionParsnip2, and xming will start the Xserver ? [11:31] Hi. My sound card got jammed due to (probably) an application using sound being killed. [11:31] ActionParsnip2: ahh sorry, missed that [11:31] mrwes: indeed [11:31] ActionParsnip2, mrwes using VNC has 2 advantages, no need to run X on XP, and the session is persistent [11:31] ikonia: np ;) [11:31] anyone? whats the name of the usb startup creator utility?? [11:31] my server is now probably standing still at the login screen, is there any way I can VNC to it from windows and use it as if I were sitting at the screen locally ? [11:31] I got an error like ALSA snd_pcm_open error: Device or resource busy when using mplayer [11:31] restart solves the issue [11:31] sprinkmeier: disadvantages, exta software if ssh is already used, unsecure [11:31] im using the normal Ubuntu 8.10 [11:31] how to get this issue solved without restart? [11:31] using intrepid [11:32] RizR: restart pulseaudio to begin with. [11:32] sprinkmeier, agreed, but I'd like to learn how to use ssh x-tunneling [11:32] haptiK, usb-creator [11:32] RizR: restart hal and alsa [11:32] did [11:32] ho. [11:32] oh [11:32] !sound | RizR [11:32] RizR: 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 [11:32] mrwes, fair enough, just don't make it harder on yourself than you have to by trying to debug XP-X at the same time :-) [11:32] bazhang : thank you [11:32] ewook: restarted pulseaudio and alsa-utils but doesnt work. [11:32] just no file or directory thats what iam getting [11:33] I need a c# compiler, what should I use? [11:33] sprinkmeier, yah.... I only use XP when I'm at work and I'm looking for a secure way to jump on my box from there [11:33] ActionParsnip2: thanks. now restarted computer. gonna try to re-create it and see what happens [11:33] my Q8300 cpu is using 150% when I play 1080p movie. Is that normal? [11:33] RizR: when it ceases, read dmesg | tail [11:33] mrwes, give up X altogether and just use putty and the command-line, works for me [11:34] xukun, what GPU do you use? [11:34] sprinkmeier: true enough :(. users like a pretty picture to click on though [11:34] sprinkmeier, yah.. and I have WinSCP running too [11:34] thatk you ppl [11:34] Geek`N`Proud, nvidia 8600GT [11:34] thanks [11:34] xukun, you may want to build a copy of mplayer or such from CVS/SVN [11:34] and build it with --enable-vdpau [11:35] you'll find you'll use far less CPU time then [11:35] corinth: check out mono [11:35] Geek`N`Proud, thank m8 I will look in to that [11:36] DeVilDeMonde: did you read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=219894 about 1/2 way down [11:36] ActionParsnip2, I've seen some _really_ pretty ascii art....

[11:43] ActionParsnip2: I am trying AOE 2 The conquerors [11:43] silv3r_m00n: looks like you gotta play it at 640x480 to get normal speed [11:43] is there a way to configure the back mouse button for gnome like vista? [11:43] silv3r_m00n: you said age of empires [11:43] ActionParsnip2: what ever how do I get it to run [11:43] Here is my dpkg --configure -a output: http://nopaste.com/p/a14OVIAlb = Please tell me what I need to do [11:44] Hi folks. I just rooted a box and I'm wondering if there would be any consequences if I edit /var/log/messages [11:44] * DeVilDeMonde Cheers! [11:44] Hi All, we have a box that's supposed to be booting off a dmraid raid-0 set, however, I'm just trying to reinstall grub to the disks as that's failed, but not sure on how to use dmraid to see the partitions. =/ [11:44] silv3r_m00n: please be precise, there are 3 AOE games: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=147 [11:44] silv3r_m00n: AOE 2 gets a gold award [11:44] ActionParsnip2 & Victim: that worked, thank you both again ever so much! [11:44] silv3r_m00n: use the wine packages off the wine repos [11:45] Hello, I have a problem with wine. When I install VoiceSpeaker and I start it, It closes brutally... [11:45] :) [11:45] DeVilDeMonde: np man [11:45] ActionParsnip2: are they full version :-? [11:45] Have you a solution to my problem? [11:45] Does anyone know of an online place where I can upload a repository, but keeping it private? [11:45] * DeVilDeMonde is too used to GUIs sometimes being a tech for the public hurts... :( [11:45] silv3r_m00n: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [11:45] silv3r_m00n: yes, why woulnt they be? [11:46] ActionParsnip2: aren't those games paid things ? [11:46] those are microsoft stuff [11:46] silv3r_m00n: no, wineis free [11:46] Wine is free [11:46] the game AOE2 is not [11:46] silv3r_m00n: what are you talking about [11:46] salut a tous [11:46] silv3r_m00n: the wine version off the wine repo is as free as the one on the ubuntu repo which you have installed [11:47] silv3r_m00n: I'm playing with Wine now for World of Warcraft. it is most assuredly free to install and run Wine. [11:47] silv3r_m00n: AOE2 is a paid for product [11:47] salut [11:47] ActionParsnip2: that's what I am asking [11:47] silv3r_m00n, if you already own AOE2 then you can use Wine to play it [11:47] silv3r_m00n: once you ad the gpg key and the repo you wil lbe offered an upgrade of your wine install [11:47] ActionParsnip2: you mean that I shud install wine from wine repos and not from synaptic [11:47] je sais as comment je etulisie ce salon il a quelqui qui veut me aideé , [11:47] that's what you mean ? [11:48] * DeVilDeMonde is considering trying cedega... but doesn't like the closed sourceness of it all... [11:48] silv3r_m00n, you add the wine repo to the list [11:48] I thought install AOE from wine repo :p [11:48] silv3r_m00n: synaptic uses the repos specified in /etc/apt/sources.lst [11:48] then you can install it through synaptic [11:48] hi! I've python 2.5.2, I want to update to python 2.6.1, can i do it with apt-get or something? [11:48] DeVilDeMonde, it is better for a select few games [11:48] silv3r_m00n: if you add the wine repo you can upgrade it using your normal upgrade method [11:48] for everything else Wine is superior [11:49] silv3r_m00n: you can use any package app you wish like synaptic or aptitude or apt-get [11:49] ActionParsnip2: well .. this AOE is kind of cracked thing.. will it still work with wine [11:49] silv3r_m00n: no idea [11:49] ActionParsnip2: by the way I already have wine installed [11:49] silv3r_m00n, originally cracked games were *required* to run on Wine [11:49] silv3r_m00n: but you will need to run the installer with wine and it will be installed in your home dir [11:49] !partitioning [11:49] 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 [11:49] ActionParsnip2: yes I installed it [11:49] silv3r_m00n: if its not the one from the wine repo, you need to get that one [11:50] Geek`N`Proud: Interesting, i finally got fed up with all Microsloth's crap regarding Windoze, and am making a complete transition, Sabayon was my first choice, but it didn't like my ATI graphics card, which Ubuntu was grateful for... [11:50] ActionParsnip2: what is the difference ? [11:50] silv3r_m00n: the one on the wine repo is maintained by the peope who develop wine so will be updated more frequesntly [11:50] silv3r_m00n: plus its a later version [11:50] The Ubuntu one never changes version [11:50] it gets patches on top [11:50] but the AOE is too old .. for wine to be updated to be able to run it [11:50] the Wine one stays with the latest version [11:50] Hello, I have a problem with wine. When I install VoiceSpeaker and I start it, It closes brutally... [11:51] silv3r_m00n: if you use wine, you need it. short answer [11:51] Geek`N`Proud: The only reason i've been holding out for so long is because i'm a gaming fanatic. [11:51] ActionParsnip2: fine .. then in short let me get it [11:51] DeVilDeMonde, in that case.. Cedega doesn't really cost that much to try out [11:51] Does anyone know of an online place where I can upload a repository for free? Currently tryping Launchpad, can't figure it out... [11:51] DeVilDeMonde, but my experience was that Wine worked better for most of my games [11:52] Geek`N`Proud: yeah i noticed many of the newer and great games are supported by it... [11:52] that said I don't buy new PC games now [11:52] I have a PS3 instead [11:52] ActionParsnip2: I am already using this ies4linux.. will they break if I install wine like that ? [11:52] hi! I've python 2.5.2, I want to update to python 2.6.1, can i do it with apt-get or something?. Thanks in advance [11:52] DRM on games kinda takes away the benefit of PC games [11:52] Geek`N`Proud: Oh? I can't stand not having super high resolution with a keyboard and mouse. [11:53] silv3r_m00n: no as it uses wine, the better version will most likely make it smoother [11:53] ActionParsnip2: that's interesting since currently ies4linux is very unsmooth [11:53] I can't stand all my games failing every time I upgrade my OS [11:54] (UT, SimCity 3000 etc.) [11:54] diffred: there's a ppa with python 2.6 if you just want the interpreter to play with [11:54] ActionParsnip2: I added that source and I can see something called wine-gecko .. what is that [11:54] Geek`N`Proud: play old dos games like dune and duke nukem 3d, problem solved [11:54] Geek`N`Proud: We'll have to see if I have that problem, the way microsloth is floundering about, we may very well get some of the big developers to embrace Linux [11:54] silv3r_m00n: its IE libs that some apps use [11:54] jrib: so I cannot install it in an easy way? (don't know what ppa is sorry) [11:54] ActionParsnip2: is this wine thing all of windows ? [11:55] !info wine-gecko [11:55] wine-gecko (source: wine-gecko): Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Web Browser). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.1.0-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 5609 kB, installed size 5700 kB === cexpert1 is now known as TBotNik1 [11:55] diffred: ppa is a repository (this is the easy way; you add a repository and install the package) [11:55] silv3r_m00n, no it's a compatibility layer which includes no Microsoft-written components [11:55] silv3r_m00n: no, its an abstraction later to translate windows calls to native linux system instructions [11:55] silv3r_m00n, think of it like being a bunch of DLLs for Linux and a PE interpreter [11:55] Geek`N`Proud: hmm [11:55] jrib: oh thanks it's like adding a line in the Sources of synaptic? [11:55] hmm [11:55] Is there an OS emulator for Linux like VirtualPC for windoze? [11:56] DeVilDeMonde, loads [11:56] diffred: yes [11:56] ActionParsnip2: what abt things like registry ? [11:56] I mean windows registry [11:56] DeVilDeMonde, VMWare Server, Virtualbox, QEMU etc. [11:56] silv3r_m00n, type regedit when you get bored ;) [11:56] sure there is xD [11:56] jrib: thanks so much! how can I google for that line?

[11:56] diffred: "python 2.6 ppa", second hit, last comment [11:56] Geek`N`Proud: :-o [11:56] what was that [11:57] DeVilDeMonde, my experience is that it has a neat load of features.. provided you use a 32-bit Windows [11:57] silv3r_m00n, regedit just like on Windows, you get that with Wine and it lets you edit the Wine (Win32) registry [11:57] cool [11:58] and for those who doubt how good it is, I broke Windows Genuine Advantage Validation with a few registry imports [11:58] >.> [11:58] Geek`N`Proud: 64 bit Windoze OSes are plague ridden with bugs, even more so than 32bit Windoze. I'd definately be using a 32bit version on it. [11:58] Geek`N`Proud: what abt things like .net framework .. can they too work in this wine ? [11:58] silv3r_m00n, yes they can.. there is also a .NET replacement for Linux too [11:58] silv3r_m00n, you can use MS .NET or Mono (Open Source .NET) in Wine [11:59] hmm [11:59] silv3r_m00n: if you read online about what wine is and what it can do you'll find out more than just asking in here [11:59] and yes Mono does work natively on Linux too.. if you're a .NET programmer or a guy who likes apps like Brasero or Banshee [12:00] ActionParsnip2: oh ok fine [12:00] ActionParsnip2: by the way I upgraded wine and ies4linux works more smoothly [12:00] earlier used to flicker a lot [12:00] silv3r_m00n: sweet [12:01] ActionParsnip2: by the way this ies4linux had a ie 7 too .. I cudnt get it to work [12:01] any idea ? [12:01] silv3r_m00n: ive never used it, i have no need for it. Opera does all i could ask for [12:02] can someone tell me why i keep getting visual tearing with an 8800gt and latest ubuntu on mythtv, mplayer, and image viewer? [12:02] silv3r_m00n, because it isn't a full i37 [12:02] ActionParsnip2: it says failed to initialise graphics system. please check whether your graphics card drivers are compatible with direct3d [12:02] silv3r_m00n: then you have some websearching to do, or ask in #wine [12:02] silv3r_m00n, it's a hack that lets you run the ie7 rendering engine inside an ie6 GUI [12:02] #winehq [12:04] how do i change the scroll wheel amount in gnome?

[12:30] !usb | blankthemuffin [12:30] need more up to date software, like the svn 1.5 and such [12:30] blankthemuffin: 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 [12:30] blankthemuffin: its a bit more involved that that [12:30] ActionParsnip2, damn your quick [12:30] plus I love to have all apps up to date heh [12:31] !upgrade | danniz [12:31] danniz: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [12:31] nice [12:31] danniz: use the cli update and you'll be fine [12:31] ActionParsnip2: I guess the fun part was to come from an BSD-like system, and then logging in as root on a production system with system V, and try to do something like "killall lpd" because the printer was going nuts, lol. [12:31] danniz: you're probably not use the right distro if you value bleeding-edge over stability imo [12:31] danniz: make sure you read stuff when its starts talking about overwriting conf files with the new version / keep old version [12:31] intrepid ain't that far out on the bleed is it =) [12:32] danniz, cough fedora updates alot... [12:32] danniz: no [12:32] danniz: most things it's pretty up to date [12:32] i'd take community over bleeding edge [12:32] same [12:33] but i get bit of both in gentoo :) [12:33] (ssh problem) my private keys' passphrases are not accepted, once the keys are in ~/.ssh/id_rsa. i cant even change them then. but when the keys are in another folder, the passphrases seem correct. please help [12:33] yea exactly, plus I love ubuntu since I switched from debian years ago. so never looking into other dists. for a long time [12:33] + the forums are great for help and irc.. win win :) [12:33] what are the new improvements in karmic koala ?

[12:35] hehe [12:35] Andry_Work gksudo nautilus [12:36] why do you need to do stuff to files in /root [12:36] This is why Linux SUCKS [12:36] you should not need to do that [12:36] Myrtti:I created it with a program launched with root privileges [12:36] Andry_WorkZ: ls -l will tell you the owner and group owner of the folder, you could add yourself to the owning group to get access [12:36] becomingGuru: rants to /dev/null [12:36] becomingGuru: its FOSS, no SLA, no warranty [12:36] becomingGuru: firefox is not linux [12:36] ActionParsnip2, yeah im in the same boat but further down stream i get excited when i type cal in terminal [12:36] becomingGuru: pleaes don't rant - and certainly don't rant if you don't know what you're saying [12:36] suddenly an "upgrade" from package repos breaks everything [12:36] ActionParsnip2: -rw root root [12:37] .tin.it [12:37] Andry_WorkZ: hmm, not so useful [12:37] Andry_WorkZ: you could leave it as is and use sudo / gksudo when you need to write to it [12:37] ikonia: I know what I am saying... I upgraded via package repos today and everything suddenly broke [12:37] Andry_WorkZ: or use sudo -i while you manipulate it. [12:38] becomingGuru: "everything" ? [12:38] becomingGuru: what exactly broke [12:38] Firefox, [12:38] becomingGuru: try the linux .tar.gz of firefox on the official site [12:38] ActionParsnip2: I just wanted to freely modify/copy/delete that file using GUI, not terminal [12:38] becomingGuru: can you expand on "broken" [12:39] becomingGuru: that's not everything, thats the package you're upgrading not working properly [12:39] Andry_WorkZ: gksudo nautilus [12:39] ActionParsnip2: Tried that too... Yea... all the history, bookmarks, and autocmplete and cookies are gone [12:39] ActionParsnip2: ok thanks :) [12:39] becomingGuru: ok so firefox works its your settings that are faulty or not being read [12:39] ikonia: How do I go back to the older package? [12:40] becomingGuru: well - I don't think that will make a difference [12:40] becomingGuru: if you can give details like that off the bat it can speed things up [12:40] becomingGuru: if your "history" is gone - I suspect your .mozilla directory is having a problem [12:40] ActionParsnip2: I dont think so, as even otherwise, it is crashing every 2 minutes [12:41] becomingGuru: try closing all firefoxes, renaming ~/.mozilla then rerunning firefox [12:41] becomingGuru: if it runs ok, yor profile is faulty [12:41] Hi all!

[12:42] disk* [12:42] But suddenly how will the filesystem have a problem for reading? I dont get it? [12:42] becomingGuru: you will need to rename whatever you did in /etc back to what it should be [12:42] Iceman_B^Ltop: try #irrsi [12:43] ActionParsnip2: Ok will do that too [12:43] becomingGuru: because you are renaming random stuff. I never told you to touch anything in /etc [12:43] Can someone please try uninstalling then installing rkhunter? - As I am getting the following error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/127196 [12:43] becomingGuru: renaming system criticl stuff doesnt suddenly make things work, it will break them [12:43] hello can i get some help in here very newbi [12:43] does anybody know when the new version of amsn will be released? [12:43] becomingGuru: read the instruction and follw [12:43] ikonia: tnx [12:44] bruce__: just ask your question, if someone can answer, they will [12:44] ubuntistas: you may find a 3rd party repo with it on, or you could compile [12:44] is there anyway to enable the network manager applet for not just wirelss, I have 2 lans, which are both greyed out, but I can connected to a wifi network using the network manager applet, any ideas? Thanks. (intrepid) [12:45] becomingGuru: you could also try: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install firefox [12:45] idefine: the wired interfaces are probably configured using the interfaces file [12:45] idefine: networkamanager ignores those [12:45] ok ta right got ubuntu 8.10 working fine with nvidia drivers on computer monitor but when i change to my tv missing screen edges changed res but no help [12:45] ActionParsnip2: Tried sudo aptitude remove firefox and sudo aptitude install firefox... it should be the same right?

No luck, problem only worsens [12:46] becomingGuru: how did it get worse [12:46] mgolisch: fair enough, the problem is that I am trying to vpn using vpnc, and if I don't connect to the wireless it won't let me connect to the vpn, it thinks there is no connection? [12:46] mgolisch, thats not correct [12:47] It says assertion failed for search each time I enter a url [12:47] becomingGuru: same thing, make sure you run sudo apt-get clean first, remove the old deb file [12:47] mgolisch: removing the configurations from my interfaces file should let me use the network manager then correct? [12:48] idefine: yeah should atleast [12:48] ActionParsnip2: Where will I find the .deb file? [12:48] hello can i get some help in here very newbi [12:48] becomingGuru: you dont need to know, just run: sudo apt-gte clean to remove the old file from the cache which will force the system to download a fresh one from the repo [12:48] *get [12:49] ok [12:49] bruce__: ask? [12:49] I did this: sudo apt-get --reinstall install firefox [12:49] Still no use... :( [12:49] did so guess the answer no then [12:49] bruce__: you can repeat your question every once in a while [12:50] part of desktop missing when i use my tv for monitor [12:50] becomingGuru: run firefox from a terminal and use it, when it crashes, firefox will output intelligent data to the terminal which may help [12:50] ActionParsnip2: Yea, fine...

[14:29] mudit: Haven't tried but I belive so [14:29] it is a .uif image [14:29] tiredbones: no; /dev/scd0 is the cdrom not a partition on an hd [14:29] DeVilDeMonde: no problem, hope you get things going with ALSA [14:29] Why are most linux rooms so hostile? [14:29] tiredbones: it would be something like « sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdxy /mnt/ » [14:29] wikzo: is the addon supported for version 3.07 [14:30] i want to put ubuntu on my laptop where do i get started, what type of power management features does ubuntu have. [14:30] mudit: The website says it works with Firefox: 3.0 – 3.1b2 [14:30] tiredbones: where x is a,b,c... depending in ehich disk the partition is and y is 1,2,3 etc depending on the partition [14:30] wikzo mayby its windows only [14:30] coreyman, all of them. Dual-Boot ubuntu - it's easy - read up :) [14:31] erUSUL, thanks [14:31] X_FILES: Don't think so. I could install with ease and the site says nothing about Windows only [14:31] r3dux i got a asus g50 series that has pretty lights on the front and special buttons up top to change performance modes and such, im going to loose their functionality when i switch aren'tI [14:32] corey - yes. [14:32] what is the program that will give me a bar at the bottom for my programs like Mac OS X? [14:32] r3dux i already have kubuntu on my desktop. [14:32] wikzo some addons doesnt work with linux though since they are not officialy develloped under the gnu license [14:32] anyone over here with a toshiba laptop ? [14:32] r3dux j/w about laptop [14:32] coreyman, you can use the buttons, if you know the command codes [14:32] is it possible to make a dump of all the installed packages in the text format somehow? [14:32] X_FILES: Could you please try to install and see if it works on your machine? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10828 [14:32] :) [14:32] azlon, awn [14:32] r3dux would it be possible for me to get the id of the button and then make it do something. [14:33] defrysk: thanks [14:33] sorry i dont have windows installed =S [14:33] corey - you can map the keycode to anything you like - that's the joy of an open operating system. [14:33] can somebody explain me what this does? i am new to building packages http://paste.ubuntu.com/127249/ [14:33] wikzo: which one is that? [14:34] DrHalan: #ubuntu-motu would probably be of more help [14:34] Vigo: New Tab King 1.1 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10828 [14:34] r3dux how would i know what to map the button to... ie i have a button that turns off my touchpad.. [14:34] wikzo if you really need this soft i suggest you to create a new account (search on google ) [14:34] X_FILES: Why would a new account make a difference? :S [14:35] Pici: okay thank you :) [14:36] Anyone up for a good tough question? :) [14:36] wikzo: Thank you [14:36] cara install ubuntu gimana? [14:36] wikzo your new account will be set to the default configuration of firefox (no conflit with other addons ) [14:37] is there a quick fix to stop Pulseaudio from crashing in intrepid...or at least something I can run to restart it without rebooting? [14:37] X_FILES: You mean I should try it in safe mode? [14:37] Vigo: Thanks for what? === dstar_ is now known as dstar [14:37] wikzo you should if you know how =P [14:38] corey - http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/misc/6173-how-do-i-find-keycode.html [14:38] defrysk: will sudo apt-get install awn install awn? [14:38] wikzo be careful though some extentions are very buggy or too recent [14:38] v0lksman: just push alt+f2 and type pulseaudio but normally it shouldn't crash... [14:38] wikzo: reposting that link, I just logged in and am looking at the trunk. [14:38] Vigo: Cool. Tell me if you can get it working under Ubuntu [14:39] DrHalan: yeah that doesn't do it...with hardy I used to kill any pulseaudio processes and run pulseaudio but that doesn't work with intrepid [14:39] v0lksman: maybe: sudo killall pulseaudio; sleep 5; sudo alsa force-reload [14:39] r3dux thanks a lot!!! [14:39] quibbler: hrm...I'll try that next time it dies [14:39] r3dux but still, how do i make that button that turns my touchpad off... turn my touchpad off! :P [14:41] v0lksman: you should better figure out why it crashes.. [14:41] how do i register my nick [14:41] hey what can i use to reduce power consumption on my notebook [14:41] except fo powertop [14:41] shadeslayer turn down brightness of monitor [14:41] Here's my situation: update manager seems to download files, but then not install them. I came in here to talk about it yesterday, and it turns out I have Linux ubuntu-desktop 2.6.27-11 - which is supposed to be 27-13. Verdict from someone else here: " the installer cannot figure out which "back-end" to compile for. t looks like the installer is confused. it wants files from two... [14:41] ...different architecture back-ends to compile." So my ORIGINAL problem had been that I could not install some intel video drivers. This underlying problem seems to need to be addressed first. [14:41] DrHalan: prolly...but not sure how to go about it and don't really have time to play... [14:41] coreyman: duh! [14:42] shadeslayer have your cpu dynamically change speed [14:42] new-tu: true,you need to upgrade to a newer kernel [14:42] rather... the update problem fiirst, ot seems, video drivers sxecond [14:42] coreyman: did that [14:42] v0lksman: maybe the easiest way is to wait for jaunty. [14:43] shadeslayer isn t acpi suppose to do that? [14:43] shadeslayer: procedu8re? [14:43] i need something to drastically power down my video card [14:43] shadeslayer ok what are you here for then >.>, looking for a spell to cast on it?

[14:44] undercloacking ! [14:44] something like undervolting [14:44] but automatically [14:44] my notebook is too hot too handle [14:44] ..

[14:53] hello everyone. [14:53] hey [14:53] I'm having a wee bit of trouble with my bluetooth mouse in ubuntu 8.10 [14:54] new-tu: so basically i dont think there is any method === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix_da_catz [14:54] Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 [14:54] joem86: were here to remove that wee-bit of probem [14:54] *l [14:54] :-) [14:54] thanks. After some googling, I saw the hcitool [14:54] so basically go ahead and state it [14:54] I didn't even know you could get bluetooth mice... [14:54] Iḿ having problem with my wlan0 to start at boot.. I configured /etc/network/interfaces to have a line with "auto wlan0" and one with "iface wlan0 inet dhcp", now if I try to restart the network it won't grab a address through dhcp, but here in gnome, the network tool can grab an address just fine! what does the gnome network tool does that I'm not doing it manually? [14:54] just a lil question how can I change Root permissions? [14:54] :O [14:55] oi [14:55] well, basically the problem is that my laptop doesn't see it [14:55] samuell: it think its chown [14:55] I've tested it on my windows partition and the mouse and dongle work fine [14:55] joem86, if it's a laptop you have to enable it by pushing the bluetooth button before any bluetooth stuff will pick it up (that's caught me out before) [14:55] I used hcitool scan, but that only picked up a couple of imacs in the next room [14:55] no mice [14:56] Hello everyone. Is it possible to lock a file or folder, so it can't be deleted, but can still be used (add files, edit, etc...)?

I think I got it working. [14:59] joem86: how?? [14:59] I pushed the bluetooth button on my mouse before, but this time I held it in for a few seconds and then did an hciscan [14:59] shadeslayer: nuts... i'm a windows geek [14:59] this is my first time using ubuntu hope to learn from you guys [15:00] my fault for not knowing my own mouse, lol [15:00] joem86: :P [15:00] new-tu: dont worry [15:00] new-tu: its difficult in the beggining [15:00] i know [15:00] hi [15:00] all [15:01] heya [15:01] joem86: pastebin the output of: lspci -n [15:01] gldtn: for a wireless entry you need to add "wireless-essid youressid" "wireless-key s:yourkey" etc [15:01] How do you forward a message in mutt?

[15:24] Hey guys [15:24] erUSUL: slart that gives me the same error [15:24] quibbler: maybe we should ask him to paste the output [15:25] Dreamglider: paste the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [15:25] ok.. i tried it with opera too.. can't access craigslist through opera [15:25] could it be my router? [15:25] shadeslayer: upgrading to a newer kernel - and - there's got to be a smarter way to describe it than "it does not work" :) [15:25] new-tu: can you do one more thing??

[15:31] quibbler: : so basically apt is ignoring the repos [15:31] new-tu: final advice : keep trying those commands [15:31] H3l1c0pt3r: Nope...Its not there, and it's still unchecking itself. [15:31] shadeslayer: did he paste the result of sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [15:31] new-tu: and then the upgrade command after every update command [15:32] ill paste it [15:32] he PM'ed me [15:32] XD [15:32] shadeslayer: are the repos being hit [15:32] shadeslayer: corrupt sources.list? (e.g. typo's ?) === ydy is now known as edenroz_ [15:32] rabbit_ubuntu, hmm even if there is nothing in the list (like for me, with debian or education, nothing in those menus) and i can still check them they wont uncheck, so that is strange [15:32] is there a way i can rotate the display with a card that doesn't support rotation on a hardware level? [15:32] oCean_: probably not,new install [15:33] when your apt-stuff is stuffed don't you just use "dpkg --update"? [15:33] rabbit_ubuntu, if you press alt+f2 and type in 'virtual' does the virtual box pop up in the list? [15:33] oh wait the end repos are alot of hits [15:33] 64bit is my choice [15:33] r3dux, no [15:33] shadeslayer: mabe ask him to paste the source list [15:33] H3l1c0pt3r: Same thing I was thinking, because I unchecked wine. And it remained unchecked. And when I checked it again. It remained checked....So it's a tad bit odd. And as far as I know. Vbox should be in the System Tools [15:33] H3l1c0pt3r: I'll try [15:34] Seveas, what dpkg command is it then? [15:34] r3dux, what you do depends on the way is stuffed. could be dpkg --configure -a or apt-get -f install or apt-get clean or ... [15:34] sudo [15:34] H3l1c0pt3r: AY! It worked! Oddly enough....But why does it show there. But not in the System Tools menu? [15:34] nods - get ya, thanks. [15:34] rabbit_ubuntu, something wrong with the menus apparently [15:34] H3l1c0pt3r: Hmm, so Alt+F2 is an app launcher? [15:34] new-tu: what do you want to do exactly [15:35] H3l1c0pt3r, logout .

[15:58] i have to split... is there a web page i can read later, or something [15:58] Schok: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log [15:58] ikonia - the machine is on wireless, and i cant remember how to configure the wlan0 via iwconfig to run wpa2 with and ascii password etc. and i cant seem to find a utility for wireless configuration (for the shell) [15:58] Schok, less /var/log/Xorg.0.log [15:58] so its kinda hard to copy and paste :) [15:58] Schok: if you can't read a text file without a gui - I suggest you re-install to get back to sane environment as debugging this will be imposssible [15:58] Ketillen: ok, I appreciate that [15:58] Seveas: nono, i have 2partitions on my internal HDD. one win and one xub [15:58] Ketillen: one moment [15:58] Ketillen, iwconfig can't give you wpa2. You need wpa_supplicant (cli) or NetworkManager (gui) [15:59] i seem to remember that configuring wpa_supplicant is a total killer. [15:59] xiq, yes, and the win one should be in the Places menu. Is it not? [15:59] Schok: does X *not start at all*, or do you at least get to the login screen? [15:59] Ketillen: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/127272/ [15:59] Ketillen: use that as a guide [15:59] LjL: no gui at all [15:59] oh well [15:59] no [15:59] i need to split [15:59] so, I partitioned my external HDD with ext3, and it works, however, FDisk still shows it listed as a NTFS drive, did I screw up somewhere?

[16:39] RichardWolfVI, i put the dvd as the master and cd-rom as the slave [16:39] RichardWolfVI: that seems to have inexplicably solved the problem. curiously, the reason I rebooted right before the compiz crash was because my networking spontaneously failed.

[16:39] RichardWolfVI, they work perfectly fine in windows xp [16:40] anyone here tried the new restore option from the ubuntu live CD?

But when I start dragging a box, it makes it a fixed square. [16:45] savid: Screenshot. === ubott2 is now known as ubottu [16:46] RichardWolfVI, screenshot? how would that help? [16:46] Hi, I'm having an issue with a program. It works fine, but for some reason it's constantly greyed out as if it was unresponsive.

I'm using VLC Player [16:50] i've got a problem with theme in Ubuntu. When i apply a theme,not all parts are applied (ex : the bar between the 'ubuntu start menu' and the time is not changed). So i have tested with another user and everything is ok with it. Anyone knows how set by default theme preference ? Thanks [16:50] RichardWolfVI, any ideas? have you tried it yourself yet? [16:51] hey guys [16:51] Mextux: Are you using ALSA; PulseAudio or OSS? [16:51] how r u doing? [16:51] savid: I'm trying to reproduce it. [16:51] RichardWolfVI, does it work for you?

When i apply a theme,not all parts are applied (ex : the bar between the 'ubuntu start menu' and the time is not changed). So i have tested with another user and everything is ok with it.

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait.

[16:53] oCean_: My device didnt mount when I booted up with ubuntu install but I can see it in this machine, macosx, its formatted FAT32 [16:53] i think savid was already trying that. [16:53] Nivenaya: Nah it doesnt exist. Unchecking fading windows entirely got it fixed though [16:53] RichardWolfVI, phrac ughh. that's not very user-friendly :-P I tried .5, 1/2, etc... It doesn't even hint to the format it requires [16:54] savid: ¿What are you trying to do exacty? [16:54] I got another question. How do I set up a .config directory for programs? I've installed ubuntu server and I'm using freenx to connect to it, and a program is complaining that there isn't any .config [16:54] when loading a particular program [16:54] AlexMax: you need to be more specific [16:54] i am using the fglrx driver with my lenovo thinkpad w500 with firegl graphics. the laptop is plugged into the lenovo advanced mini dock, and my 30" dell 3007wfp is plugged into that. the 30" monitor looks to be mirroring the laptop display, but the image is severely corrupted [16:55] is there a ubuntu tool for fixing it, or do i need to edit xorg.conf? [16:55] KeyserSoze: Reconfigure X [16:55] AlexMax, from terminal: mkdir .config [16:55] :) === izibi_ is now known as izibi [16:55] jrib: I installed geany from source and it's complaining about not being able to find a 'configuration directory'.

[17:30] thanks [17:30] dilbert: ubuntu no long supports sparc in new releases (but debian still does) [17:30] Dreamglider: because you are trying to mount sda1 as ntfs which is linux swap partition?

[17:47] okidoki: does the new machine have a package called php5-cli installed ? if not, sudo apt-get install php5-cli will install it [17:47] Dreamglider what is going on [17:47] Hey does anyone over here have any experience with Intel Graphic card drivers ? [17:47] new-tu: yeah, nano will work [17:47] vishesh: what's the issue [17:47] Dreamglider: linux can refuse to mount a ntfs partition if it is not cleanly unmounted in windows, but this error doesn't seem like that [17:47] glitsj16: aha, i'll try that [17:47] new-tu: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [17:47] Dreamglider last night i was able to mount my windows hard disk as NTFS and grab files off of it [17:48] what error are you experiencing [17:48] oh cool... nano = old pine :) [17:48] please!!!

[17:54] test [17:55] vishesh: a couple of things: (1) glxinfo should be able to tell you if direct rendering is enabled. (2) You shouldn't actually need an xorg.conf, i.e. X should be able to autodetect and set things up properly. I would try moving xorg.conf to xorg.conf.backup or similar and restarting X to see if it makes a difference [17:55] how do i find if x recognizes ir?

[17:57] hb|work: Yes, direct rendering is enabled. And reverting xorg.conf to the original settings doesn't make any difference. Direct Rendering may be enabled, but I don't think I'm using it.

[19:10] untitled_: "An idle computer has a load number of 0 and each process that is using CPU or waiting for CPU adds to the load number by 1. Most UNIX systems count only processes in the running (on CPU) or runnable (waiting for CPU) states. However, Linux also includes processes in uninterruptible sleep states (usually waiting for disk activity), which can lead to markedly different results if many processes are blocked in I/O due to a busy or [19:10] stalled I/O system. This, for example, includes processes that are blocked due to an NFS server failure or slow media (e.g., USB 1.x storage devices), leading to an elevated load average, which does not reflect an actual increase in CPU use (but still gives an idea on how long you have to wait). [19:10] The load average is calculated as the exponentially damped/weighted moving average of the load number. The three values of load average refer to the past one, five, and fifteen minutes of system operation."

[19:31] spunk: I got this so far, still not working http://paste.ubuntu.com/127389/ [19:31] !ppa [19:31] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad.

[19:32] _VIM_: stability is not a reason here, the current package has lots of serious bugs [19:33] Hi. Anyone know if aMSN or other messenger client take support for webcam with 640x480 ? [19:33] Pici: and the posix 2.304A standard says you lose, and there's an RFC that says you're wrong unless proven right.

[19:35] i cant restorethen [19:35] todd: so, to recap, your problem is the handling of filenames with spaces right? [19:35] _VIM_, I searched for xchat, xmms, and pidgin . All with no results [19:35] <_VIM_> BigMoopies: if you're just searching for packages that are already included in ubuntu try packages.ubuntu.com [19:36] psyk, go to Sound preferences [19:36] liminal: ubuntu does not have a windows-like restore feature [19:36] #hack [19:36] And click Try [19:36] Ashka: If you don't know the answer to a question, just don't answer.

IFS can be used to control how bash/sh splits strings internally with respect to spaces. [19:38] spunk: um ok...??? [19:38] todd, LjL: do a "man sh" and search for "IFS". [19:39] todd, LjL: apparently, if you set IFS to null, bash/sh will not do any string splitting due to any characters. [19:40] I have a problem with a proxy setting. It does not go away when I unset it. Can anyone help? [19:40] spunk so for f in $(find . | grep \.jpg) dose not work as you would expect [19:40] todd, LjL: try this at the beginning of your script: IFS="" [19:40] annyone has skype and wanna explane to me how to set a domain name????

[19:43] ross: is it mounted? [19:43] *sudo mount [19:43] todd, LjL: I did some tests. If I put IFS= at the top of the script it works for me... Note! just type "IFS=" at the beginning, nothing should go after the equal sign. [19:43] Or is it simply files? [19:43] what is mounting? [19:43] hey im new to ubuntu and vbox and im having problems with access to my host usb from vbox can anyone help me i tried #vbox but i got no help [19:43] ross: mount [19:43] what is the command for connecting a bluetooth keyboard to version 8.1?

[19:45] spunk: ah very true [19:45] todd, exactly. You gave to return to the "base" directory. Let's store that one in a variable. like "BASE=`pwd`. and then do a cd "$BASE" [19:45] ross: what happens when you go to Places->Computer and try to open the CD drive from there? [19:45] _VIM_: yes i saw that but sure i have optins for the vbox though [19:46] todd: after you've done the exif-thing that is... [19:46] shawger: it says it cannot find the autorun software [19:46] tdn: "file" might say something about it [19:46] shawger: should I try to open it with other applications? [19:46] shawger: and what is mounting? [19:46] oi [19:46] dfjdkfs === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo [19:46] vega, nope. File only tells me about the *contents* of a file. I am talking about the file names. [19:46] ross: mounting just lets you access the content on the cd [19:46] todd: so, are you getting the drift? put the pwd-stuff before the loop and then put the CD "$BASE" after the exif-stuff. [19:46] tdn: ah [19:46] shawger: thank you [19:46] shawger: but it's not running [19:47] todd: you still need to do the "IFS=" [19:47] ross: can you just open it with the file manager?

I installed roundcube webmail client a few weeks ago, how can i now find out which version i installed [19:48] ross: ubuntu comes with a lot of drivers and can usually autodetect everything [19:48] shawger: but it's not lound [19:48] _VIM_: suns [19:48] shawger: ah [19:48] shawger: also [19:48] todd: change IFS="" to IFS= [19:49] shawger: how can i go about installing virtualbox [19:49] todd: that is, don't put anything after the equal sign. [19:49] shawger: i would like to be able to access windows partition from here [19:49] spunk: done, no joy [19:49] _VIM_: suns xvm [19:49] todd: ok... [19:49] <_VIM_> SEVILLA: ok it should support most usb devices then, what are you trying to hook up exactly? [19:49] ross: you don't need virtualbox to do that [19:49] shawger: how can i access another OS? [19:50] <_VIM_> SEVILLA: xvm? is this on windows? if so you should ask in ##windows or #vbox [19:50] ross: what do you mean by access windows? [19:50] ross: as in files on a windows partition, or you want to run windows programs? [19:50] shawger: i would like to allocate certain HD space to windows [19:50] todd: im still looking. hang on. :-) [19:50] ross: do you have a dual-boot setup currently? [19:51] spunk: cool thanks man! [19:51] shawger: no i do not [19:51] ross: do you want to dual-boot, or run windows in a virtualized environment? [19:51] _VIM_: no my host is 8.04 and i have 8.10 on a box and i want to access a lexmar usb on my host [19:51] shawger: but i believe i can install windows through virtual box [19:51] ross: yes you can [19:51] shawger: does it matter? [19:51] shawger: i mean, what is the better optoin [19:51] ross: virtualbox is synaptic [19:51] todd: try IFS="\n" [19:51] shawger: also, my computer does not detect the windows cd for some reason [19:52] ross: virtualbox will let you run both linux and windows at the same time, but it will be a little slower than if you dual boot [19:52] <_VIM_> SEVILLA: does the lexmar usually work ok in ubuntu? [19:52] ross: the advantage is mainly convenience [19:52] Ashka, i gues i come closer to the problem.. the soundcard is not listed at .. asoundconf list [19:52] spunk nope [19:52] shawger: ok [19:52] <_VIM_> lexmark* [19:52] shawger: do you have any idea why my desktop is not detecting my windows cd? [19:52] psyk, wow [19:52] _VIM_: yes i use it all the time with my host hardy [19:52] hi question. I installed roundcube webmail client a few weeks ago, how can i now find out which version i installed [19:52] also, the official less-free version of vbox (NOT the one in the repos) supports USB devices, among other things, which the OSE version does not [19:53] psyk, Are you sure your soundcard is functionnal ? [19:53] ross: what do you mean it isn't detecting it? does it not show up anywhere? [19:53] shawger: it doesn't [19:53] @orudie, did you install it with apt? [19:53] shawger: unlike the ubuntu cd [19:53] yes :D with oss i have sount on it ;) [19:53] kernelpannik, yes [19:53] shawger: the cdrom drive doesn't detect it when it starts and i don't understand why [19:53] can you tell me? [19:53] my http://qcjn.no-ip.org:81/ would there be a way that the redirection of my no-ip include :81 [19:53] spunk: if I cd and do the exiftool -comment="Property of The MRA" file.jpg it works [19:53] shawger: brb in a minute or two [19:54] ross: you are trying to open this cd from within ubuntu, right? [19:54] @orudie, aptitude show PACKAGENAME, such as aptitude show roundcube [19:54] shawger: no when i boot up [19:54] _VIM_: could it just be my usb [19:54] shawger: the desktop does not recognize it [19:54] ...or whatever it is, anyway, version numbers will be in there [19:54] <_VIM_> SEVILLA: na not if it works in ubuntu without vbox [19:54] ross: you are trying to boot off this cd in order to install windows? [19:54] todd: ok... I'm still struggling with setting IFS to the proper value. using IFS= just gives all file names a one single string... [19:54] ross: if you use virtualbox, you install windows from *within* linux [19:55] <_VIM_> SEVILLA: sounds like a setting is not set correctly or a bug with xvm [19:55] ross: as in you start a virtualbox session and then use that to install windows [19:55] hi [19:55] _VIM_: its weird i enabled on my guest and i can see it in the gui on the bottom but its greyd out [19:55] how much does a GUI slow down a server [19:55] ? [19:55] @orudie, make sense? [19:56] spunk: to test put a jpg in a sub dir, and run, should just work for you too right? [19:56] kernelpannik, yes [19:56] anyone know [19:56] cook [19:56] because my freind told me to get server adition but i am not sure if its the best [19:56] _VIM_: i will keep trying thanks though [19:57] cactusfrog: it won't slow you down anything.. might take a little more memory though [19:57] @cactusfrog, if ur not sure, you prolly dont need the X-less version ;) [19:57] but if i have 4 gigs [19:57] hey can somebody help me disable hardware acceleration on a dell dimension 2400 w/ intel integrated extreme graphics card? I'm really new to linux and am trying to fix a choppy video playback problem [19:57] it will be fine right [19:57] cactusfrog: I don't think you'll notice a difference [19:57] ok [19:57] what should I enter for the video card bus location in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [19:57] cactusfrog: why not try xubuntu if you're worried about performance [19:57] <_VIM_> SEVILLA: I'd ask in #vbox, I know you said they didnt answer you, but just be patient :) === john is now known as Guest69598 [19:58] hi guys . i have a problem . im trying to connect a nokia n95 as a webcam via smartacam app . with ubuntu . have anyone tryied this out ? [19:58] todd: think I solved it. The solution looks a bit odd, but I think it is consistent: write IFS=" on one line, and on the following, put a single " [19:58] ross: sorry I have to go [19:58] _VIM_: k :) [19:58] todd: that way we are able to put a new line character into IFS, telling bash to break strings at new line characters. [19:58] hey guys [19:58] i am not worried about preoformance [19:58] i am hosting a q3 server [19:59] on a 64bit dule core computer with 4 gigs [19:59] shawger: ah thank you anyways [19:59] spunk: whew!!!

I can't really say until you tell me what's wrong [20:13] if that happened to be a bad idea, be sure that i will cry for some advice to restore my system, in the meantime i thank you for the quick answer [20:13] Rencx: but I'll give it a try [20:13] ;-p [20:13] andybond13, the screen you are referring to is called usplash - did you try to install a usplash screen (intrepid uses a different version of usplash and the old themes don't work with it, and will give you just the text screen if installed)... good luck [20:13] have a good day all [20:13] Legumebo_Magezfe: no worries, linux is so broad that everyone is new to some parts of tit .. disabling hardware acceleration is done in /etc/X11/xorg.conf i think, never done it so not really a clue [20:13] Slart: i want install windows can i shrink ne hard disk to make new one? [20:13] Slart: i think it is better than most of the default alternatives there are . I wouldnt mind Droid being the default on Ubuntu - it was designed to be readable even on small screen devices [20:14] Rencx: probably.. gparted can shrink some file systems.. depending on what kind [20:14] glitsj16: so my xorg.conf seems to not have hardly any info in it... is this normal for intrepid? [20:14] andybond13: try adding to line at GRUB when booting: vga=791 [20:15] Rencx: if you start gnome partition editor there is a "features" menu option.. there you can see what it can do to which file systems [20:15] Slart: now i have ext3 === fddfoo is now known as fdd [20:15] can someone please explain to me why if [ "${MODULEBUILDRC}" == "" ]; then [20:15] Rencx: well.. open up gparted and click "show features" and see if it can shrink ext3 [20:15] doesnt work on an ubuntu? [20:16] how does openSolaris fair in comparison to Ubuntu, I'm thinking to throwing it on a spare machine [20:16] Legumebo_Magezfe: it's typical for the newer version of Xorg server yes, it's meant to be like that to enable 'hotplugging' devices without mangling config files [20:16] Hey guys [20:16] Getty: be more specific [20:16] Im having trouble getting Windows XP to pick up my USB device.

[20:17] I dont belive so though [20:17] ulamSpiral, it's very different. doesn't have nearly the hardware or software support that Ubuntu does, for a desktop they are night and day. you pretty much have to have a compelling reason to choose Solaris over Ubuntu...

[20:17] Slart: Yes I ma [20:17] Am is supposed to just ask my question here? (this is my first time on Ubuntu IRC) [20:17] Slart:Am* [20:17] Slart: can i resize /home partition? [20:18] coder__: yes. [20:18] rabbit_ubuntu: because the OSE version doesn't support usb.. you'll have to get the non-free version if you want usb support [20:18] Legumebo_Magezfe: try doing a websearch on your graphics card model/type + disable hardware acceleration + ubuntu is about my best advice on thi i'm afraid [20:18] ok [20:18] Slart: Oh.... [20:18] ZykoticK9: It not really choosing one over the other for me, I'm an expirenced ubuntu user and I have a few extra machines lying around, I figured it would be fun to play with Dtrace and the ZFS [20:18] Slart: How do I get that? And how much is it? [20:18] help! I cannot enable visual effects [20:18] Rencx: if you boot from a live cd and you can find a tool that can resize it.. sure.. don't do it on a live system while you're running it [20:18] Legumebo_Magezfe: the actual editing of the xorg.conf file in question is simpler, if you need help on that, give a shout === Mud is now known as Mud|afk === TwoD_ is now known as TwoD [20:19] Slart: Does the OSE version support CD drives? [20:19] rabbit_ubuntu: it's free.. (as in beer).. you can download it from their site. [20:19] Oh [20:19] ulamSpiral, ok - just making sure you weren't a desktop user... Solaris is "fun" to play with -- but this whole discussion is very OT, good luck man [20:19] On my Ubuntu (Acer Aspire One, 8.10), I have had a good overall experience, however: Sometimes my wireless just stops working suddenly. The message when I try to forcibly re-enable the wireless module from the command line is as follows: "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable" [20:19] glitsj16: ok will do... is there any gui in ubuntu or terminal prompt that I could find the model type? all i could find was intel integrated extreme graphics card but i think i need more into than that [20:19] Why won't it enable at those times? [20:19] rabbit_ubuntu: I think so.. not sure though [20:20] Slart: So what do I do to get that done? Remove my current Vbox? And then get the non free?

[20:39] brutus: aha, you will need to install that driver if you haven't [20:39] Drknezz, I already have installed nvidia-glx-new [20:40] rampage73: yea.. it would have been /dev/hdc actually if it was correct.. did you look at dmesg? [20:40] brutus, run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" [20:40] glitsj16, , I already have installed nvidia-glx-new [20:41] Drknezz, I tried that too...but it screws up bigtime and the next tiem I reboot I can't increase resolution more than 800*600 [20:41] brutus: odd though, i thought your original paste of xorg.conf mentioned nvidia already instead of vesa, re-checking that [20:41] Scunizi, that is where i got this **[ 2234.752000] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8 [20:41] [ 2235.036000] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [20:42] glitsj16, that's what I've been breaking my head over :) [20:42] Anybody here familiar with joining Ubuntu machines to Active Directory domains?

[20:48] macman: , sorry, typo, it is gksu [20:48] Scunizi, all it lists after waiting 2 minutes is my hard drive /dev/sda [20:49] brutus, srsly?, that should check if you have all drivers [20:49] _VIM_, thanks, that did it. [20:49] ive created a encrypted disk image with ubuntu hardy some time ago, and now with intrepid i cant mount it [20:49] <_VIM_> :) [20:49] someone know how can i access my disk?

[20:49] hi, when ever i leave my ubuntu over night i come back in the morning and the computer has locked up. using 810. anyone know why this could be? I dont believe it is hardware. [20:49] is there another channel for bluetooth in ubuntu? [20:49] rampage73: is the camera plugged into a hub? if so try plugging it directly [20:49] jrib, Here's the log file: http://pastebin.com/m5e023acf [20:50] Scunizi, no plugged into laptop directly on a known good usb port [20:50] Drknezz, so after i do that i click on all the nvidia stuff and click on activate ? [20:50] Fudge: is it actually locked up, or is it running but the display will not come back on? [20:50] Drknezz, I know I have nvidia-glx-new installed because when I try to apt-get it again it says its already installed [20:50] macman, not all, the highest number [20:50] rampage73: weird.... and can you pull the pics off the camera? [20:50] hollywoodb i beleive its locked up, i cant logout of the desktop or anything [20:51] this is frustrating i know the solution is right there in front of me somehow (laughing at me most likely) [20:51] brutus, weird, X loads up nvidia module, but uses vesa instead [20:51] Fudge: so the screen isn't black? it's just sitting at the desktop, frozen?

[20:52] very weird [20:52] Drknezz, can you tell anything from the Xorg log file? http://pastebin.com/m5e023acf [20:52] rampage73: ah.. missed that part.. does gparted see the camera? [20:52] How do I remove the GUI and all that is linked to ubunt-desktop like firefox, thunderbird and all those apps? [20:52] rwparris2: it could have been installed somewhere in /usr [20:52] Fudge: well, you can look at /var/log/messages to see if anything happened overnight, and look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old to see if it was X that locked up. [20:52] I see sorry thank you [20:52] Scunizi, i will check hang on [20:52] macman, powermizer underclocks your gpu to save battery [20:52] Fudge: but it may be hard to figure out what's going on if it is just locking up like that when you're not using it [20:52] ok hollywoodb, if it was just X wouldnt control alt backspace work still? [20:52] Drknezz, I should dmesg after typing the jockey command? [20:52] The-Kernel: sounds like you want server [20:53] brutus, i saw it, X loads up nvidia module, but it uses vesa instead, weird [20:53] Drknezz, is there a way to search? [20:53] i want to get a new hard drive so i can just reinstall and hope its ok [20:53] Fudge: maybe, maybe not... X can do a pretty hard lock where the system can appear to be frozen but using SSH to log into the machine and do a proper shutdown still works [20:53] brutus, dont worry bout jockey [20:53] Drknezz, so install powermizer [20:53] taianee Oii meu amotr [20:53] macman, powermizer comes with the nvidia driver [20:53] Fudge: hollywoodb have you tried ctrl+alt+F3 to get to a tty? [20:53] oh [20:53] so, my intel graphics is like.. clipping or osmething.. IDK how to describe it.. [20:53] ah hollywoodb thats an idea for next time. another problem i couldnt figure out was in nauthtiless in list view it woudl close [20:53] MalbeC oiiiiiiiii coraçaooooo [20:53] so after i install reboot and do it [20:53] ok [20:54] brb [20:54] anyeone have any idea how to fix it?

[21:02] strombom: apt-get policy [21:02] strombom: err, apt-cache policy that is [21:02] quibbler, I did unmount it, still no go. It was an NTFS drive, I used FDisk to partion/format it, and the mkfs.ext3 to create the file system and it works...........just the label is all screwy. I'll mess with gparted, may even re-format and see if I can get that going. [21:03] <_VIM_> FrozenFire[work]: what do you mean by "well-supported"? [21:03] I have just successfully made Hofstra more Linux friendly. [21:03] _VIM_: Simple to do, requiring very little tinkering. I've considered X forwarding, but that can be troublesome, iirc.

[21:04] rampage73: did you catch all that on ##linux? [21:04] LLStarks|Lazy: do you need a full desktop on the remote machine or will single applications be sufficient? [21:05] what? [21:05] crdlb: thanks [21:05] Scunizi, yes downloading it now will let you know if it works [21:05] LLStarks|Lazy: sorry, wrong nick :) [21:05] thanks [21:05] rampage73: cool [21:05] FrozenFire[work]: do you need a full desktop on the remote machine or will single applications be sufficient? [21:05] guntbert: Preferably full desktop [21:05] macman, you still there? [21:05] crdlb, could you find out the problem? [21:06] I'm getting an odd error when opening PDFs in nautilus: the filename $filename.pdf indicates that this file is of type "pdf document." The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "PDF document"... If I change the extension from .pdf to .PDF the error goes away. Happens with all .pdf files. Seems like a settings issue with capital / lower case file types... anyone know how to fix this? [21:06] brutus: yes [21:06] In fact, if I could use my existing session, that would be perfect. [21:06] brutus: you need at least 173.14.12, you have 100.14.19 :/ [21:06] balleyne, left click go to "Open with.." and choose your fav pdf app, with a ".pdf" file [21:06] Drknezz, here's what happened: I changed nvidia to nv and rebooted the system- ubuntu started on low graphics mode and now i'm stuck on 800*600 and cannot icnrease [21:07] Drknezz, .. ubuntu keeps saying that i'm using hardware that isn't recgonized .. this is after i installed nvidia [21:07] should i install each one and try ? [21:07] macman, yes [21:07] ok [21:07] brb [21:07] the !nvidia wiki page i thoughth had a link to what drivers are for what cards. [21:07] brutus: which is only available in intrepid [21:07] crdlb, you suggest I download this one from the nvidia site? [21:07] brutus, weird, type vesa instead of nvidia and try again [21:07] brutus: unless you install it from nvidia.com which can break very badly [21:07] !freenx | FrozenFire[work] [21:07] FrozenFire[work]: FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [21:07] FrozenFire[work]: single apps is easy, lets start with that: you invoke your ssh-session with ssh -X @, that will forward any X Client to your machine [21:08] crdlb, intrepid broke compat with that installer, Xen kernel? [21:08] guntbert: Yeah, I know how to do X forwarding. Doesn't seem to meet my needs. [21:08] Drknezz, crdlb, the whole problem started when I tried to install the 180 version driver from the nvidia site; before that the graphics were working like a charm with the current driver (nvidia-glx-new) [21:08] Drknezz: but it comes with -173, -177, and -180 (in updates), so he'd be covered [21:09] brutus: what does 'lspci | grep -i vga' say? [21:09] brutus, uninstall the nvidia one, with the nvidia installer, with the -u argument, and re.install nvidia-glx-new [21:09] the 8600 GS is only recently supported, but similarly named cards have been supported much longer [21:09] Scunizi, i cannot get past configure this is what it says [21:09] No package 'fuse' found [21:09] No package 'mad' found [21:09] No package 'id3tag' found [21:09] No package 'libmtp' found [21:09] rampage73: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:09] FrozenFire[work]: ok, then have a look at enzotib's tipp [21:09] crdlb, 19:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600M GS (rev a1) [21:09] balleyne: what properties is shown with left click -> properties ? [21:09] guntbert: Yeah, his looks promising. I'll have to check that out when I get home [21:09] sorry FloodBot1 [21:09] brutus: ah, that's different :) [21:09] rampage73: install the various WHATEVER-dev packages for things if you are compilimng from source. [21:10] Drknezz: tried that, open with works fine, but evince is already set as the default. A straight 'open' still gives the error. =\ [21:10] rampage73: install mtpfs [21:10] Why doesn't ubottu also monitor flooding? [21:10] raingell.com [21:10] Scunizi, apt-get? [21:10] keith_: itz not got op status :) [21:10] balleyne, weird.... [21:10] FrozenFire[work], I use it usually even from home and is very impressive for speed [21:10] Drknezz, none of the hight nvidia card / drivers work .. should i do the lowest one ? [21:10] where can i get this file? version 4.3.9-5 is in the ubuntu source. libapache2-mod-auth-mysql_4.3.9-5_i386.deb [21:10] -4 [21:10] brutus: that _is_ supported by 7.10's nvidia-glx-new (silly nvidia) [21:10] Dr_willis: oh... why not? :-p [21:11] macman, maybe... [21:11] Scunizi, i am trying to install that it wants me to run ./configure make make install then i get those errors mentioned above [21:11] rampage73: that's what I had to use because Snyaptic was hic-uping [21:11] keith_: its not trusted i imagine. :) [21:11] Drknezz, indeed... not my machine either, it's a laptop in the office. no idea how this change happened on the users machine, just started a few days ago *sigh* [21:11] Weird things are happening with intrepid [21:11] crdlb, (blink blink) [21:11] Dr_willis: Well, that's understandable. Thanks. :-D [21:11] rampage73: sudo apt-get install mtpfs [21:11] balleyne, alternate program that did the same thing? [21:11] balleyne: change default pdf editor [21:11] Drknezz, if non of these work from the gsku thing what do i do next ? [21:11] Sorry for the repeat, I'm using FGLRX ATi drivers with a 2400 PRO and can't seem to get it to show the secondary monitor to do "multimon" (large resolution) [21:11] brutus: the 8600M GS is supported, the 8600 GS is not [21:11] Any ideas? === brandonban6 is now known as brandonban6[away [21:12] <_VIM_> enzotib: i wish i could get freenx working, Ive read a lot about it, but when I try to log on i get errors (had a horrible time even installing freenx, seems its not in the repos, so I had to do a lot of hand waving and lever pulling to get it installed sooo I went back to using SSH tunnel + VNC :( [21:12] macman, idk, i'd suggest compiling a new kernel and installing the official nvidia driver, but it is quite complex [21:12] I really have to wonder what nvidia is doing with their chipsets and naming/drivers to make things like that happen crdlb [21:12] crdlb, eh? but graphics were working before I tried installing 180 driver from the nvidia site... [21:12] brutus: yeah, you've made a bit of a mess now :/ [21:12] brutusm UNINSTALL nvidia drivers, then re-install them with apt-get [21:12] they're conflicting [21:12] brutus: you could try 'startx' from a terminal and see if any error messages show what the issue is. could be somtjhing as simple as a xorg.conf issue [21:12] Drknezz, I have already uninstalld this driver [21:13] brutus: with running sh NVIDIA-whatever --uninstall ? [21:13] rampage73: I installed it but when I tried to mount my troublesome mp3 player it still didn't recognize it. [21:13] Why in the bleep can't I connect to my router using WPA? WEP and open networks are fine but I can't get WPA to work. I don't want to have to use WEP, it's horribly broken as you all know. [21:13] brutus, try uninstalling it like crdlb said [21:13] Drknezz, when I try to run sh NVIDIAblahblah.run --uinstall it says there's 'no nvidia driver currently installed' [21:13] crdlb, [21:13] can anyone help with microphone on ubuntu 8.10.With ubuntu 8.04 no problem everything work [21:14] Dr_willis, thank you for the tip that helped alot [21:14] brutus, try uninstalling with apt-get + the purge option [21:14] what's a good way to save terminal output?

In other clients I can hit up arrow and get my last thing I typed :/ [21:16] no. [21:16] Drknezz, that's not a pipe .. that's a redirection. [21:16] unop, oops [21:16] i want to run a command and CAPTURE EVERYTHING [21:16] ;) [21:16] Dr_willis, how do i kill it off? killall xserver? [21:16] LLStarks|Lazy: from where exactly?

[21:16] no it doesn't [21:16] Dr_willis, thanks again not sure if you can help out or not i did install all the package-dev and ./configure ran but now make has an error i will post in pastebin and be right back [21:16] Hey guys [21:16] _VIM_, freenx server is in a ppa.launchpad repo, as a client I use che original nomachine implementation [21:17] it cuts off 90% of the output [21:17] Drknezz, woah that removes 102MB including source, restricted modules, kernel...should I really do it?

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 :) [21:17] crdlb: trying to teach him how to trouble shoot x error messages by using 'startx' but it seems he does have X going.. sio im not sure what the actual problem is now. :) [21:17] brutus: you really only need to remove nvidia-glx-new [21:17] sudo python setup.py install --prefix /usr ls >> log.txt [21:17] sebsebseb: Can you assist?

OSE edition? that does not have USB suppourt [21:17] rabbit_ubuntu: , there are tuts out there to make VBox do that, google a bit [21:17] Dr_willis: ah, he's in vesa or nv now :) [21:17] <_kw> is there any info about when kubuntu will have kde 4.2? [21:17] that should capture everything, but it doesn't. [21:17] LLStarks|Lazy, command >> file 2>&1 [21:17] rabbit_ubuntu: get the binary from http://www.virtualbox.org and why are you called rabbit_ubuntu [21:18] crdlb: time to teach him how to use IRSSI from the console also. :) [21:18] I have the non free one [21:18] Sun micro [21:18] unop [21:18] still doesn't get everything [21:18] sebsebseb: So it has USB support [21:18] <_VIM_> enzotib: Ok does the remote machine have to not be loggin in already? Cause it's already loggin in... THinking this is the problem, there must be a way around it [21:18] it's a command that scrolls the screen [21:18] and only the bottom is saved [21:18] rabbit_ubuntu: if you got the non OSE one, enable it in the settings for the VM [21:19] I did that as well [21:19] Drknezz: >> appends the stdout to a file [21:19] sebsebseb: And when I plug my device in [21:19] LLStarks|Lazy, that should capture what's sent to STDOUT and STDERR .. if the command sends output elsewhere, you'll need to find out what file descriptor it uses and redirect that too.

How can I reinstall mysql-server to recreate all required files (apt-get install --reinstall doesn't recreate /var/lib/mysql/* or /etc/mysql/debian.cnf files)? [21:21] Drknezz: figured it out, turns out there was a Override.xml file in ~/.local/share/mime/packages that messed up the mime-type database... removed that and ran update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime and now it's working :) odd though... lol [21:21] unop, let me try the original command again. [21:21] balleyne: , great [21:21] rabbityou have enabled the usb controller, did you had a usb device then? [21:21] gislan, move /etc/mysql and /var/lib/mysql out of the way [21:22] rabbit_ubuntu: you enabled the usb controller but did you add a usb device then? [21:22] Dr_willis, I restarted gdm but the comp just sent me into tty1 with the login screen- so I rebooted normally and am back to 800*600 :( [21:22] gislan, those two directories contain the configuration files and data -- which packages will NOT overwrite for good reasons [21:22] rabbit_ubuntu: you could ask in #vbox too [21:22] brutus: the IDEA is to Not auto-start X. but to enable the nvidia drivers and use 'startx' from a console to SEE the X error messages. [21:22] _VIM_, good luck [21:22] guntbert: yeah I was going to tell him about #vbox [21:22] brutus: that way you can get a clue as to why X is having issues with the n vidia drivers. [21:23] sebsebseb: :) [21:23] brutus: and yes.. killing GDM will kill off X. :) [21:23] sebsebseb: Think I will [21:23] Dr_willis: I'm 99% sure it's a version mismatch [21:23] stupid mibbit [21:23] sebsebseb: Thanks [21:23] crdlb: yep very likely. [21:23] Dr_willis: since he installed the 180 driver from nvidia.com [21:23] rabbit_ubuntu: yep that channel, but also the manual from their website is good [21:24] if i installed package with dpkg , can i remove it with apt-get purge ? [21:24] Dr_willis, http://paste.ubuntu.com/127453/ [21:24] yes [21:24] orudie, yes [21:25] Dr_willis: and I was right, by looking at the dmesg output, it's loading the 71.85 kernel module :/ [21:25] orudie, apt-get uses dpkg anyway [21:25] unop: that's the problem, I want apt/dpkg to recrate them. I've removed them and did apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server mysql-common and got /etc/mysql dir back, but without debian.cnf or my.cnf and still not /var/lib/mysql [21:25] unop: and mysql server doesn't start [21:25] Dr_willis, thanks i have to run and i will try to get on later [21:25] gislan, did you purge mysql-common before reinstalling it? [21:25] Wait Who has nvidia 180 version problems? [21:26] A [21:26] unop: I think I've already tried that, but I'll try again [21:26] Dr_willis, crdlb : sorry, this is so puzzling- restricted drivers manager says 'Nvidia latest graphics driver(new cards)' enabled and in use- but screens and graphics shows the driver as vesa [21:27] brutus: if the xorg.conf is set to use vesa.. then thats what it will be using. [21:27] brutus: check the xorg.conf file and see what Driver its set to use. [21:27] brutus, enable the IgnoreABI flag in xorg.conf [21:27] gislan, generally, you shouldn't have to worry much about /var/lib/mysql .. what matters is under /etc/mysql .. and you can use dpkg-reconfigure mysql-common to regenerate the config file(s) [21:27] brutus: your problem is that ubuntu is loading the wrong kernel module [21:27] brutus: we can force it to load the right one [21:27] Dr_willis, thats the big problem that I'm having- my system doesn't seem to read the xorg.conf: the device does read nvidia and not vesa [21:28] _VIM_, http://imagebin.org/40379 [21:28] brutus: you could always rename the xorg.conf so that you have none. and restart X and see if it can figure it all out. :) some of my nvidia systems dont need a xorg.conf [21:28] brutus, 180versions have problems with the present kernels, this issue isn't fixed in the stable release yet, but in 180.35 it is [21:28] Dr_willis: eh? X will not choose nvidia by default [21:28] unless ubuntu has a patch [21:28] brutus, you need the IgnoreABI server flag [21:29] Supersaiyan_IV: he's using 7.10 [21:29] Dr_willis, well I did try renaming too as someone suggested but still no luck... [21:29] crdlb: after installing the nvidia drivers here.. it did on some of my machines. [21:29] crdlb, i see [21:29] Dr_willis: jockey should have set it in xorg.conf [21:29] Supersaiyan_IV, where and how do i put this flag? [21:29] unop: I thought so too, but dpkg-reconfiguring mysql-common and mysql-server doesn't create my.cnf or debian.cnf and I can't figure out why [21:29] brutus: run sudo nano -w /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common [21:29] anyone know how to be able to use an external monitor with X with the command line? [21:29] I got a collection of old xorg.conf files archived i often test out. :) [21:30] <_VIM_> enzotib: yaeh that PPA is only for 8.10, it gives dependency errors saying needs freenx agent dependency [21:30] crdlb, done...and? [21:30] BotLobsta: man xrandr [21:30] brutus: in that file, you will see a DISABLED_MODULES="" line, change that to DISABLED_MODULES="nvidia_legacy nvidia" [21:30] BotLobsta: clarify that to the channel please.. you want to do WHAT exactly? [21:30] brutus: which will force it to use nvidia_new, your driver [21:30] crdlb, shouldn't it be nvidia-new and not legacy then? [21:30] Is there a way to get rar into thunar? [21:31] brutus: it's DISABLED_MODULES :) [21:31] brutus, sent hot to set the flag in pm [21:31] how* [21:31] i want to be able to use an external monitor on my laptop because my laptop screen is broken [21:31] crdlb, oops...sorry:) [21:31] BotLobsta: boot with external monitor connected [21:31] brutus: also, ls /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_legacy_installed [21:32] BotLobsta: Ubuntu maybe thinks your lap top screen still works, so you got to do the configuring two screens xorg config nonsense. hummmmm I can't help you with that [21:32] BotLobsta: tell the channel what your video card is in that thing? on my machines the laptop - monitor switch keys work.. but other laptops may vary [21:32] amgarchIn9: ive done that and it doesnt make a difference [21:32] Dr_willis: ive tried those keys as well. i have a nvidia quadro nvs 140m [21:33] brutus: that should either return the filename or a No such file or directory error [21:33] BotLobsta: You can install the nvidia drivers. and use the nvidia-xconfig tool to tweak most all that stuff via the command line. [21:33] unop: aah, mysql-server is virtual package, I need to reconfigure mysql-sever-5.0, I think I've got it, thanks for help :) [21:33] crdlb, there's the new counterpart..but no legacy... [21:33] BotLobsta: check out the various 'twinview' docs out. enable clone mode for tqwinview perhaps would be the safest thing [21:33] BotLobsta: do you see the boot screen on external monitor? [21:33] I have 4GB of RAM, on a 32-bit processor, and only 3.2GB is detected. am I right that I need PAE on my kernel? [21:33] Is there a recent article on how to get dual monitors to work with a 2400 PRO ? [21:33] Dr_willis: im not using the proprietary module, just the nv open source one [21:34] Just curious, is python-libtorrent built for Python 2.6? I'm running Jaunty. [21:34] Saw an image on the web, resized it and cleaned it up, slapped a gnome foot on it. Your welcome to it: http://www.terabytecode.com/stuff/gnome-wave.png It bad a nice clean background for gnome. [21:34] brutus: ok, good [21:34] BotLobsta: then you very well may be out of luck then. [21:34] I'm afraid to try alot of the junk that I have been googling [21:34] *it made a nice [21:34] amgarchIn9: yes [21:34] BotLobsta: on most of my nvidia machines if i dont install the nvidia drivers.. it automatically clones to the external.. but again.. it aparently varies with chipsets [21:34] !ot | dlmarti [21:34] dlmarti: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:34] can I get PAE on my ubuntu desktop kernel? [21:34] crdlb, so should I restart X now? [21:34] brutus: now 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new linux-generic' and then 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' [21:34] np, sry [21:34] brutus: after both of those, reboot [21:35] yo! :) === acorb is now known as andreic [21:35] I have a VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01). Goal: be able to have a choice of resolutions rather than the 640x480 installed by default. Already tried to go to "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" - got the screen for the keyboard settings, then it went back to the command line. Did not bring up resolution... === andreic is now known as acorb [21:35] ...adjustments [21:35] brutus: oh, and just to make sure, does 'uname -r' contain 'generic'? [21:35] crdlb, both these are already installed [21:35] BotLobsta: at grub prompt say "2" to boot into runlevel 2 (text mode). Otherwise no ideas [21:35] have you heard of the new nvidia intel Graphics processor integration [21:35] crdlb, yup...it does have generic [21:36] brutus: ok, run sudo nvidia-xconfig and reboot (restarting X isn't enough) [21:36] crdlb, ok....i'll do that and btb [21:36] *brb [21:36] amgarchIn9: im currently running in text mode and the output is being copied to the external monitor. it just doesnt stay that way with X [21:36] amgarchIn9: that would give a text prompt in other distros, not in ubuntu [21:37] guntbert: how to do this in ubuntu then? [21:37] use nvida x config GUI [21:38] BotLobsta: "copied"? are you saying LCD also works? [21:38] amgarchIn9, can you see the laptop screen at all? [21:38] tirtle are i replying to me or someone else [21:38] I really don't want to have to start compiling my kernel all the time to get the full 4GB of memory. does anyone know of a desktop kernel package with PAE enabled? [21:39] new-tu, you\ [21:39] amgarchIn9: kill gdm or keep it from starting (ubuntu is using a new concept, named upstart) [21:39] kiris, what is PAE? [21:39] turtle_: my screen is allright, it is BotLobsta who has problems [21:39] oh, sorry [21:39] ah, hi there turtle. :) i am using an intel card - but you seem to be saying that the nvidia solution might apply to my intel card - is taht right? [21:39] turtle_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension [21:40] turtle_: some kernel option that is apparently going to help me actually use all of my memory [21:40] sigh === niki77 is now known as nikola77 [21:40] kiris: you use all 4GB of memory running Ubuntu? [21:40] brutus: so? [21:40] ok- i answered my question. fyi- if you want rar to show up in archiver (within thunar), just sudo apt-get install rar (close source, but it's avail in repositories) [21:41] kiris, how much mem do you have bro [21:41] Is it true that when generating a ssh key pair longer is better? i.e. 4096 bits > 1024 bits? or is it true that a larger key creates more attack vectors and is therefore less secure? Also which is better, RSA or DSA? [21:41] i thought it was automatic with the _64 versions [21:41] how can i update to .10 from .04 from a shell? [21:41] turtle_: just 4GB, but it's limited to 3.2GB on 32-bit, it seems [21:42] kiris, do you have 32bit? [21:42] mrwes: no, I use about 200 running ubuntu [21:42] turtle_: yes [21:42] kiris, what processor do you have? [21:42] sn00zer: ask in ##crypto or ##security [21:42] turtle_: pentium core 2 quad [21:42] crdlb, Dr_willis *sigh*, no luck after nvidia-xconfig too- my xorg.conf has become pretty bare now: http://pastebin.com/m17eac597 === bAsTl is now known as bastl [21:43] guntbert: thanks [21:43] kiris, why not use 64bit version? [21:43] brutus: pastebin dmesg | grep nvidia [21:43] turtle_: my pentium is not 64-bit [21:43] schmidtm: huhu [21:43] kiris, same processor as me. Its quad core you said [21:43] kiris: yes it is [21:43] crdlb, here it is: http://pastebin.com/d5cad0f02 [21:44] kiris, problem solved [21:44] oh [21:44] I wish it said that before I bought it [21:44] evilbug: I don't understand what you are trying to do [21:44] compiler issues here I come! [21:44] thanks, guys [21:45] kiris: eh? it'll still run a 32bit OS fine [21:45] so why do you need to see the addtional memory if you'll never use it? [21:45] shrug [21:45] mrwes: who said I'll never use it? [21:46] why do you think I bought the 4GB? t [21:46] you'll tap 4GB? [21:46] kiris, just load an entire new ISO of Ubuntu? [21:46] I'm planning on some simulations and virtualisation, so I'll be using it [21:46] brutus: oops, I should have said: dmesg | grep -i nvidia [21:46] kiris, or you could play with PAE for fun [21:46] turtle_: is it possible to upgrade a 32-bit ubuntu to 64-bit? or will I have to install fresh ? [21:46] crdlb, maybe the problem can be traced by the error output of glxgears? Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [21:46] Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual [21:47] kiris, you have istall fresh [21:47] brutus: no, that's just a symptom [21:47] it might be possible but not worth it [21:47] brutus: the nvidia driver will not run at all without the right kernel module, so that's why we're looking at dmesg [21:47] turtle_: well I guess I've barely installed anything yet so it's not a big problem [21:47] or maybe dual boot kiris? [21:48] ? [21:48] personally, i enjoy wiping and installing fresh [21:48] my pc came with 32-bit vista [21:48] how stupid is that? [21:48] crdlb, okay the output with -i: http://pastebin.com/m5c29243c [21:48] it only detected 3.2GB of memory [21:48] is that what is on there now? === linxeh_ is now known as linxeh [21:48] yeah, and I've installed ubuntu dual-boot [21:48] brutus: ok, that's good [21:49] brutus: now pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log please [21:49] oh, well does ubuntu realize all 4gigs? [21:49] crdlb, just a sec [21:49] brutus: one step down, possibly only one more to go :) [21:49] turtle_: no, it shows 3.2GB just the same [21:49] kiris: try 64 with a live CD first, there are still some problems, but workarounds do exist [21:49] hmmm [21:49] guntbert: what kind of problems, for example? [21:50] crdlb, please dear god :) [21:50] crdlb, Here's the log: http://pastebin.com/m5650ab57 [21:50] is anyone here familiar with the rtl8187 wireless chipset? [21:50] mrwes: I agree with the phrase "unused ram is wasted ram" [21:50] kiris: getting flash to run seems to be one iirc [21:51] guntbert: ah, crap. I use flash a lot [21:51] kiris, I have 3 and only notices 2.9G [21:51] brutus: hmm, did you get a message when you started that X was going into low graphics ode? [21:51] hi how do i get the panel on the bottom to come back i accidently deleted it [21:51] aijnknknj: right click on the top one and make a new one [21:51] <_VIM_> !panels [21:51] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [21:51] kiris: I am on 64 and youtube is no problem for my firefox anymore [21:51] crdlb, yes... [21:52] i am running ubuntu 8.10 and the native wireless drivers seems to work for my rtl8187l wifi card, but i dont know if the native drivers will allow me the full potential of the card i have [21:52] and i would like to blacklist it [21:52] Anyone here have ATI videocard? I need to know if the drivers are better now? (as good as Nvidia's)? [21:52] Hello. Just installed 8.10 on this laptop yesterday and I can't access the hard drive partition that doesn't contain the OS. I was using Windows XP before this. Does anybody know if there's a specific way to mount the drive? I'm not in any hurry, so if you're busy I can wait. [21:52] does anyone know how to do this? [21:52] wheres my trash can and programs [21:52] guntbert: what 64-bit issues *do* you have? I wouldn't want to get all setup and find something really fundamental is completely broken [21:52] aijnknknj: and add Show Desktop, Window List, Workspace Switcher, and Trash to it [21:52] o ook thanks === bastl is now known as bAsTl [21:52] crdlb, and It asks me to configure... and when I change plug and play to my LCD 1440*900 it doesn't listen to me anyway and starts with 800*600 [21:53] brutus: that's because you're using VESA now [21:53] does anyone know how to blacklist native drivers? [21:53] kiris: thats why I suggested an extended live CD session, I myself don't have any 64-bit issues, but I'm not into video/sound... [21:53] !debugger [21:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about debugger [21:53] !native [21:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about native [21:53] kiris, Linux has had 64 bit and been developing for it for years, i have no issues with mine [21:53] guntbert: hmm, ok. I'll try the live cd [21:53] turtle_: good [21:54] can someone tell me a nice debugger witch has a GUI because gdb is a little too much to start with.... [21:54] i'm using ubuntu8.10 x64, and i used to be able to connect online through the wireless connection, but suddenly now, i cant. can someone help me? [21:54] brutus: alright, let's try this: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx-new; sudo apt-get --reinstall install xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx; sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [21:54] hey all...getting a "Buffer I/O error on device sr0 Logical Block" [21:54] geotsai, lspci [21:54] brutus: that sequence should remove nvidia, reinstall the stock X stuff, and install the nvidia package, which should make everything the right version [21:55] crdlb, lemme try... [21:55] when trying the live version on a desktop...I know for a fact that the hard drives master boot record is messed up...anyway around this? [21:55] kiris: you're new puter w/ 4gb of ram shipped with Vista 32bit? [21:56] er your even [21:56] mrwes: yeah, how odd is that? [21:56] it's this one --> http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=5FSB&CategorySelectedId=11011&PageMode=1&NavigationKey=11011&InMerch=1&AddReview=1 [21:56] does anyone know who to disable the wifi native drivers? [21:56] crazy aye? [21:56] turtle_, the wireless network is detected, but when i attempt to connect, it just stays with two green dots forever. i can connect online using the same laptop when booting into windows tho. [21:57] tons of 64 bit CPUs come with 32 bit OS? I dont get it [21:57] geotsai, uninstall and reinstall the driver [21:57] turtle_: well if you have 4gb of ram that's stupid [21:57] turtle_, how would i do this? im just using the default driver that ubuntu installed [21:58] does anyone here know anything about networking ? [21:58] hi, does anyone know how to use vlc as digikam player ? === Niamor7 is now known as Niamor [21:58] what are u networking? [21:58] geotsai, in synaptic package manager [21:58] crdlb Reinstallation of xserver-xorg-core is not possible, it cannot be downloaded. [21:58] crdlb, that's the error [21:58] occasionaly when i load ubuntu - it fails to find my ip on the network [21:58] its in the added programs somewhere i think [21:58] brutus: :o [21:58] resulting in no connectivity [21:59] turtle_, thanks, ill take a look [21:59] how can i see which ubuntu version do i have?? [21:59] brutus: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [21:59] !version | albacker [21:59] albacker: 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 » [21:59] make sure its not a silly error like your networking is turned off or something, geotsai [21:59] crdlb, thnx [21:59] that happened to this machine. i added a default route to get to the gateway [21:59] i'm not behind a router by the way [21:59] crdlb, well I'm behind a proxy so my sources are not global but locally updated from time to time by someone [21:59] anyone wanna take my case? [22:00] crdlb, 8.10 is the latest one ?? [22:00] crdlb, this explains why I'm using such an old driver [22:00] there's a can of soda in it for you - and maybe a chocolate [22:00] turtle_, it attempts to connect, but is stuck at something like 'determining ip address' or something like that [22:00] If I added a line to my rc.local and there were an error, where about might it be logged? [22:00] albacker: yes [22:01] crdlb, and the proxy doesn't allow me to connect to repositories outside of my LAN [22:01] brutus: not exactly; you're using an old driver because you have an old release of ubuntu (7.10) [22:01] brutus: ugh :/ [22:01] crdlb, thanks. someone told me about 9.04.. and last question, if yo know anything about ATI graphics on ubuntu ? there are 2 types the radeon(open source)one or the ati.com (flgrx) ones.. i got the radeon installed, but do you think the others from ati.com will work better. [22:02] geotsai, thats strange [22:02] crdlb, I did a reinstall for xserver-xorg...would that be ok? [22:02] albacker: what model GPU? [22:02] anyone care to help someone very new to linux with "standby" S1 power mode help? [22:02] brutus: no, it needs to be xserver-xorg-core [22:03] albacker: 9.04 is still beta, due end of april [22:03] crdlb, procesor : intel centrino, [22:03] geotsai, reset the router [22:03] turtle_, i was actually just wondering if there was a way to reinstall everything that has to do with networking and start from scratch. is there a way? [22:03] brutus: actually the glx module looks ok based on a previous log [22:03] turtle_, i've done everything including trying different wireless connections etc. same result [22:03] brutus: so you can skip that [22:03] hmm [22:03] brutus: can you at least reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx ? [22:04] crdlb, yes I could do that [22:04] unplug the router and the base computer and turn it back on, geotsai [22:04] turtle_, furthermore, it works perfectly in windows, so its isolated in ubuntu. it doesnt appear to be driver based because it discoveres the network, but cant connect [22:04] crdlb, It wasn't installd in the first place :) [22:04] brutus: O_o [22:04] Would anybody happen to know how to mount a hard drive partition that I used to save my data on under Windows XP but now can't access it since switching to Ubuntu 8.10?

[22:13] hi [22:13] magcius: np, but usually different versions use different libs too [22:13] That's good, sebsebseb. ^_^ [22:13] mrwes [22:13] no [22:13] Just downloaded the lastest desktop version for my gf's desktop so that she could use her computer...I know for a fact that the master boot record is screwed up...getting this error "hey all...getting a "Buffer I/O error on device sr0, Logical Block 178898" [22:14] sebsebseb, I guess Nalf would have known that when he logged on and read " Topic for #ubuntu is: Official Ubuntu Support Channel" [22:14] mrwes unable to eject any way [22:14] exodus_ms: indeed [22:14] !ask | Nalf [22:14] Nalf: 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. :-) [22:14] i have to shut down the computer then turn it on in order to ejct [22:14] ASUSBlue: hit the alt + F2 key and type gksu nautilus that'll start a nautilus scession as root, see if you can eject and/or umount as root [22:14] asus blue find out the name of your cd drive from /etc/fstab and force a umount [22:15] crdlb, what restricted drivers manager says (that i'm using an nvidia driver) and what screens and graphics is saying (ditto, vesa) it conflicting.... [22:15] ASUSBlue: try "eject" from the command shell [22:15] oh check this out if i restart instead of turning it off the comupter will freeze that the bios splash screen [22:15] udevd-event[6000]: run_program : '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit. Does anyone know if this issue has shown up recently? (I am using the Wubi installer with an amb64 bit build) [22:15] I put a CD in my drive but it doesn't show up in the file browser. How can I find out what is wrong? [22:15] asusblue you may have a faulty disc drive [22:15] Exodus, I know what this is, but people generally get annoyed giving support in this sort of environment. [22:15] asusblue find out the name of your cd drive from /etc/fstab and force a umount [22:16] That does not work because it does not see it there anymore [22:16] brutus: ok, now I have no idea what's wrong, so we have to try stopping X and using startx to get a real log [22:16] Nalf, what? that is what this channel is for, strictly support only, all other stuff can be discussed at #ubuntu-offtopic and other channels [22:17] asusblue ... if the drive is not in your fstab how are you using it [22:17] I posted my issue already, thanks. :) [22:17] It stops working when you try to eject [22:17] Nalf, the only people here are those seeking help and those helping those who need it [22:17] OH like i can watcha dvd movie if i want [22:17] but try to eject [22:17] it [22:18] crdlb, so that means x11-common restart; startx ? [22:18] your stuck because you have to completely shut down [22:18] asusblue ... then it is being mounted, so it is in your fstab [22:18] Wakarimasu. [22:18] IT should be [22:18] let double check [22:18] Nalf: I'm afraid there is not much support for wubi here :) [22:18] !wubi [22:18] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [22:18] Thank you very much, guntbert. [22:18] Nalf, what kernel are you using [22:19] need to turn a .java file into a .class file, anyone know the preferred jdk for ubuntu? [22:19] In Firefox, I'm trying to access a site that uses flash, Webkinz, and it does not seem to work. I've updated the Adobe drivers via Synaptic, but ti still does not work. I think it is trying to use Gnash and all that does is make my cpu work 100% ande just freezes firefox. [22:19] Let me check, Exodus. [22:19] greyfrog .. the newest one [22:19] keithclark: ok interseting issue [22:19] coreyman, theres a bunch listed. do I use the one from sun? [22:20] greyfrog yes [22:20] keithclark: how much RAM you got? 1GB? === irishluney is now known as tadcan [22:20] coreyman, k thanks [22:20] greyfrog if you have trouble compiling let me knw [22:20] sebsebseb: 512 MB [22:20] No one else is having this problem. It mainly happens when i finishing watching a movie [22:20] keithclark: you can't have Adobe Flash and Gnash installed at same time, for a working Flash in FIREFOX [22:20] asusblue you said you were going to check if it was in your fstab [22:20] brutus: first, make sure your xorg.conf says nvidia (just run sudo nvidia-xconfig) then, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop; startx [22:21] keithclark: ok I get my own issues with Ubuntu's unoffical Firefox version. with 1GB [22:21] sebsebseb: It used to work before I upgraded this computer to 8.10 from 8.04 [22:21] keithclark: I have had 100% CPU usage, because of Firefox, either, becasue of Flash, Gnash, or Swfdec, or loads of tabs open [22:21] brutus: this probably will fail and put you at a terminal, then you must copy the Xorg.0.log like this: cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log Xorg.0.log (to copy it into your home folder) [22:21] coreyman it is [22:21] brutus: then you can reboot to get X back, or run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [22:21] keithclark: looks like your going to have problems with Firefox since you only got 512MB RAM [22:22] asusblue umount the drive [22:22] keithclark: even on 2GB though FIrefox can memory leak [22:22] sudo umount drivename [22:22] if it says busy [22:22] crdlb, got it...i'll be back [22:22] force it. [22:22] sebsebseb: I had the same memory with 8.04 as I do with 8.10 though [22:22] I'm not sure what version of the kernel I am using. It's 8.10 amd64, though. [22:22] keithclark: yes, but it won't be the same Firefox. and it's unoffical version [22:23] sebsebseb: ah, got you. thanks. [22:23] keithclark: Firefox in Ubuntu is not the proper version from Mozilla, it's a Ubuntu version [22:23] Nalf, uname -a [22:23] keithclark: and loads of other browsers that are good you can have in Ubuntu and install from the repo [22:23] ev [22:23] coreyman please take a look http://pastie.org/409828 [22:24] Frost, I'm using the computer I want to install Ubuntu on. Issue is I don't have any blank cds, or a wired connection to the internet so I resorted to the Wubi installer. [22:24] crdlb, Wohoo!!! The Nvidia splash screen! [22:24] keithclark: the Ubuntu version of Firefox has some Ubuntu specific improvements, but then this 100% CPU nonsense [22:25] asusblue it is not in your fstab >.> [22:25] brutus: nice [22:25] crdlb, I've never been so happy to see their logo....now everythings back to normal w00t! [22:25] crdlb, thank you so much for your help! really appreciate it [22:25] sebsebseb: got you. Too bad [22:25] but why does it work [22:25] when i reboot [22:25] uh....what does chmod +Xx mean? [22:25] brutus: to make sure this is going to stick, you should ctrl-alt-bksp and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [22:26] brutus: if that works too, then you're home free [22:26] so what should i do coreyman [22:26] crdlb, lemme just try that :) [22:26] keithclark: what you doing to do? [22:26] asusblue let me think. [22:26] anyone know if 9.04 will have gnome 2.26 by beta release? [22:26] hey has anyone had problems connecting ubuntu 8.10 to a wifi network using WEP? [22:26] asusblue is this disc drive ide or sata? [22:26] sebsebseb: www.webkinz.com for my son [22:27] skel: it already has development versions of it [22:27] sata cause it's new [22:27] keithclark: I see that's why you want Flash [22:27] skel: like it says gnome 2.25.92 for me now [22:27] asusblue did you just recently install it === bAsTl is now known as bastl [22:27] crdlb, both working....yay! [22:28] sebsebseb: ok, to fix, I just removed gnash via synaptic and now all seems well! [22:28] keithclark: yeah if a plugin like Flash goes bad in Firefox, the whole browser can crash, but other browsers if the plugin goes bad no problem [22:28] crdlb: hmm ok, maybe the openchange mapi stuff isn't in there yet though [22:28] sebsebseb: still 100% cpu, but useable. [22:28] crdlb, thank you once again.... [22:28] uh....what does chmod +Xx mean? [22:28] coreyman no it's laptop [22:28] keithclark: ok well if problems with Firefox, it makes sense to have a few browsers isntalled where Flash will work no problem [22:28] Wait, firefox is giving 100% cpu? [22:28] Nalf: yep Ubuntu's unoffical version [22:29] mezy chmod changes permissions on files or directories [22:29] sebsebseb: I will try the others. Thanks for your help! [22:29] keithclark: do you know the names of the others? [22:29] ortsvorsteher: thanks [22:29] sebsebseb: yup, thanks! [22:29] mezy: chmod +x means to give execute rights :) [22:29] brutus: you're welcome, it's been a long time since I've dealt with gutsy :) [22:29] !chmod [22:29] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [22:29] keithclark: Epiphany, Galeon, and Konqueror, Seamonkey, etc [22:29] ortsvorsteher: and +Xx? [22:29] Sebsebseb is there a detailed guide for a usb install posted anywhere? [22:30] sebsebseb: yup! No issues at all. Later and thanks again. [22:30] keithclark: ok no problem [22:30] asusblue add it to your fstab [22:30] crdlb, ah...this calls for an upgrade...i'm done with gutsy [22:30] !usb [22:30] 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 [22:30] mezy: I don't think thats a correct command [22:30] asusblue if it is the first and only cd drive it should be something like /dev/scd0 [22:30] <_VIM_> konqueror will likely pull in a load of KDE libs though [22:30] how [22:30] Just downloaded the lastest desktop version for my gf's desktop so that she could use her computer...I know for a fact that the master boot record is screwed up...getting this error "hey all...getting a "Buffer I/O error on device sr0, Logical Block 178898" Any idea how to get this working?

[22:31] coreyman add that to the end of the file [22:31] a patch or something of the sort? [22:31] spool2: the latest Linux kernel is quite a lot later then that, but distros don't tend to use the very latest, because new code means bugs [22:31] #linuxac [22:31] help i'm getting this error *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption [22:31] spool2: Ubuntu will use a version that is not that special, but good [22:32] hey, i have a question [22:32] <_VIM_> !ask [22:32] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[22:57] JessicaParker: Skype is one thing, but if the mic works it should work in teh sound rocorder [22:57] no it does not record indepdent of skype [22:57] Guest75402, what do you mean? [22:57] KenBW2-> which app do you want run? do you want it to display it to your PC 1 ? [22:57] !tab | JessicaParker [22:57] JessicaParker: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

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 :) [22:58] KenBW2-> it will be running on PC 2, but where do you want the display for you to see it? [22:58] Guest75402, well, thats with compiz. You have to enable it. [22:58] JessicaParker: ok I have a chat log that I can find, and pastebin or whatever. that had all the stuff for getting sound working, as well as Skype, could be very useful [22:59] Guest75402, is it enabled? [22:59] sebsebseb how do i know the mic is installed on the machine ? [22:59] JessicaParker, you could download gnome-device-manager [22:59] JessicaParker: is it plugged in? [22:59] lol [23:00] KenBW2: to clarify: an app runs on one machine (where it uses the cpu) and *may* display on another machine [23:00] JessicaParker: yeah I helped a guy his mic woudn't work at all, and then we got it working [23:00] sebsebseb i think it is part of the laptop [23:00] (wolter !tab) like this ? [23:00] I have a Linksys Wireless-G usb network adapter (WUSB54GS). Does anyone know if there is a compatible 64bit driver for it? [23:00] ensay: im not bothered whgere it displays - but it's dropbox - i was under the impression it needs to be looged in to GNOK ensay: GNOME* [23:01] JessicaParker: not all hardware just works with Linux, but most stuff will work just like that, or after some configuring [23:01] Guest75402, no. Just type wolt. Then, without pressing space or enter, press tab. You will see that my name is going to be autocompleted [23:01] Guest75402: without the parentheses, you type wolt [23:01] wolter: Ohhhh .. in that way, now i get it ! [23:01] Is Firefox compiled with PGO on Linux?> [23:01] That's how I don [23:01] KenBW2-> i think your hang up on having to have gnome on... a daemon could be running like a server, accepting commands and dont need to display anything [23:01] t have to type all your name when I say it. Guest75402 [23:02] wolter: But where do i activate that ? [23:02] Guest75402, I just type Guest7 [23:02] When i play dvd's the movie jump a few seconds time and time again (like fast forwarding) but i have no problem when i play avi files?? anyone how can help [23:02] ensay: it integrates with nautilus...

[23:02] wolter: yes sorry [23:02] is it possible to use e17 interface [23:02] sebsebseb: with the greatest respect your not really telling me anything i know already [23:02] with ubuntu ? [23:03] TheEdge_: that can be heavily dependent on video card and proper drivers. Do you have the restricted driver for you card enabled? [23:03] If I cant run an existing partition virtual, how do I export the users so I can restore them? [23:03] Guest75402, /nick [23:03] JessicaParker: see my PM [23:03] Guest75402, no problem. Anyway, try typing /nick IamGuest [23:03] sebsebseb: im not looking for a date thanks === Guest75402 is now known as Kamikaze [23:03] wolter, what are you using?

[23:04] Kamikaze, now, are you in appearance? [23:04] wolter: its my first time im on IRC [23:04] does the wubi installer destroy any previous windows install or how does it work exactly? [23:04] JessicaParker: I just noticed your probaby from UK like me that's all [23:04] Laying the moves on, Sebsebseb? [23:04] ok some other questions does apache pidign and skype use the same ports ? [23:04] Fly_, of course not. [23:04] So, Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit edition isn't supposed to be able to be installed on a 32 bit system right? [23:04] wolter: no, im not [23:04] Kamikaze, irc is going to be one of your most used tools here. [23:04] JessicaParker: no they don't [23:04] <_VIM_> Fly that would defeat the purpouse of Wubi [23:04] Correct, Until_It_Sleeps. [23:04] wolter: yes i could imagine that :) [23:04] sebsebseb: do you know what the problem is [23:04] Fly_, it installs Ubuntu as a file in C:\ [23:04] :D I haz a 64 bit cpu then. [23:04] ensay: I have ubuntu installed on a seperate partition and I wanted to know if i could run vista virtually from ubuntu or the other way around [23:04] !hibernate [23:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate [23:05] what ports does pidgin and skype use ? [23:05] biggerfisch-> you can have ubuntu running as your host and have vista as your guest [23:05] is there any tool to flash bios with CD? I have a GA-ex58-ud4p [23:05] dmn, ive got it :) now lets see what happends next, when i install linux on that shitty thing :) [23:05] ensay: how? [23:05] _VIM_: so is wubi an option if I do want to switch to ubuntu? or is it just to test ubuntu out? [23:05] Kamikaze, well, I understand you want your windows to burn down when you close them, right? [23:05] JessicaParker: I have an idea how you can fix it possibily, but I only have the commands and what to do with graphical stuff in an old chat log at the moment hummmmmmm [23:05] wolter: Now i am [23:05] ensay: what program? [23:05] <_VIM_> it's just to test really [23:05] wolter: yes thats right [23:05] biggerfisch-> you have ubuntu already installed? [23:06] Stylee: aks in #hardware :) [23:06] sebsebseb: give me the commands [23:06] Fly_, its an option, but I recommend to just try with the livecd before installing anything. [23:06] i will try it [23:06] ensay: ya i be running it now :) [23:06] biggerfisch-> vmware server will be the virtual machine [23:06] Kamikaze, ok, go to the Visual Effects tab.

[23:07] biggerfisch-> i dont know if its in the repositories, i think you have to download it from vmware.. check via apt-cache search vmware [23:07] Fly_: xubuntu [23:07] ensay: ok me try that [23:07] fly:will work, strip it down a bit though [23:07] fly but you could try the ubuntu alternate installer [23:08] wolter: yes i have done that in terminal now. [23:08] i found /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/ubuntu/misc/wireless/acx.ko but thats not where modprobe picks-up or look to get the modules right?

[23:13] Kamikaze, yes. [23:13] Kamikaze, Go to the Animations settings [23:13] bazhang-> you recall where the kernel finds the modules it loads at boot? /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers ? or another dir? [23:13] Kamikaze, look for the magic lamp icon labeled "Effects" [23:13] ensay: so just aptitude install vlc ? [23:13] Kamikaze, Close Animation. [23:13] Animations, i mean. [23:13] ensay: and the moz plugin? [23:13] webby-> try it [23:13] Kamikaze, and then, as magcius told you, go to the Close Animations tab. [23:14] Hey [23:14] i have a problem ...

[23:15] just ask Karlos [23:15] wolter: yes im there now [23:15] connection filled ... [23:15] i found /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/ubuntu/misc/wireless/acx.ko but thats not where modprobe picks-up or look to get the modules right at boot time? [23:16] Med: why would u want to do that? [23:16] Kamikaze, ok. [23:17] wolter: yes im there now, what should i do know ? [23:17] Kamikaze, just to check. When you close a window, does it drag away from you? [23:17] wolter: year you can say that :) [23:17] Kamikaze, you should find "items" under the Close Animation tab. [23:17] is it possible to install ubuntu from an usb disk or a minimalistic kernel, or anything that doesn't require me to burn a cd? it would be a great help, since i don't have a writeable cd at hand at the moment [23:17] Kamikaze, the default is Glide 2. [23:17] whip2: I want connect to my ubuntu from windows ... [23:18] i need help, i plug into my laptop hp dv6604nr with ubuntu, in the socket u can read sd-ms/pro-mmc-xd but i cannot see the pictures or maybe i don know where is it [23:18] Med1a, you're not running ubuntu and windows on the same box are you? [23:18] wolter: i cant fin a "item" button, but i have found the Glide 2 [23:19] med: i just cant see any sense in that.. [23:19] Ok. These items are no buttons, but rather rows. When you click on them, you should be able to edit them. Try to do so. [23:19] wolter: okay [23:20] wolter: i have clicked on the Glide 2 and i can edit it, if it was that you were thinking about [23:20] Kamikaze, found it? If you did, you will be able to change the animation from a dropdown menu. Tell me if you find the Burn effect. [23:20] Does anyone know how to copy only those files that haven't already been copied? [23:20] whip2 whats wrong with wanting to be able to connect to ubuntu from windows? [23:20] Wait til Windows reboots, then install Lin" :) [23:20] what is a good mail server for ubuntu? (easy to install for someone who isnt really expert) [23:20] I "cp -a" /var to a new drive and then mount that drive in fstab and symlink /var to /mountpoint/var . When I start up the system stops after klogd (while starting dbus I think) [23:20] any ideas? [23:20] jimdb_: rsync ? [23:20] No [23:20] Devedse: ubuntu comes with exim by default [23:21] wolter: No i simply cant find it [23:21] Devedse: dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config [23:21] EvilRick: how do you start that [23:21] thanx [23:21] jimdb_: cp -n ? [23:21] Kamikaze, ok. That means you have Animation addons disabled. [23:21] or exim-config I forget [23:21] Enable it. It's next to Animations, where you are in. [23:21] wolter: Hm how do i enable it then ? [23:22] Kamikaze, just check the item, and get back to where we were. [23:22] Kamikaze, it's under Animations Add-On [23:22] EvilRick, it says that exim4-config is not installed :o [23:23] EvilRick: set the mount-point to /var instead. [23:23] Kamikaze, done yet? [23:23] geirha: I would byut teh disk also contains /home [23:24] wolter: alright , wait a minut, im still here in the "Close Animation" and my mouse is over the Glide 2 , fomr there i frozed , i cant come any further [23:24] ALSO [23:24] wtf caps crashing [23:24] EvilRick: Hm, then use mount-binding [23:24] I want to keep /home and /var on a seperate disk [23:24] EvilRick, also exim-config doesnt work [23:24] wolter: i couldnt ifnd any of the "item" you said [23:24] Devedse: apt-get install exim4 [23:24] k [23:24] Kamikaze, Animation Add-ons ? [23:24] Kamikaze, go back to the main screen and check Animation Add-On, then close and reopen CompizConfig [23:24] Kamikaze, its next to the Animations section. [23:25] wolter: yes i found the animation add on [23:25] magcius: Yes i found it [23:25] Kamikaze, then close and reopen CompizConfig [23:25] Kamikaze, is it checked? [23:26] wolter: ohhh ... no it wasnt checked ! [23:26] wolter: but it is now . [23:26] Kamikaze, then close and reopen CompizConfig [23:26] wolter: and then go back to where we were before after i have closed and open it ? [23:26] magcius: okay [23:26] Kamikaze, now, when you go to Animations, there will be extra animations, like Burn. [23:26] Kamikaze, ok. Now you should be able to activate the burn effect. [23:27] Kamikaze, well, you had no need to close and open. [23:27] wolter: okay ill check [23:28] geirha: what do you mean by mount-binding? [23:28] wolter, I needed to restart CCSM for it to take effect. [23:28] Hm.. [23:28] wolter: YES i see it, i see burn and other new "items" [23:28] how can i split each page of a pdf into an image?

[23:29] wolter: but when i close a window it aint burning [23:29] Kamikaze, hm.. did you select it as the close animation? [23:30] Kamikaze, does the window still drag away? [23:30] istv:dunno.. never had to do so.. [23:30] wolter: now i have set it under the close but it aint doing it, yes its still just drag away [23:31] Kamikaze, find every glide 2 and tell me for which animation it is selected. [23:31] how can i install linux if the boot cd keeps erroring out? [23:32] adanta:netboot [23:32] anyon [23:32] whip2: wow, no simpler way?

[23:34] whip2: hm, i checked the cd for defects using the inbuilt checker and it is fine [23:34] whip2: also i used this cd to install ubuntu on other systems [23:35] wolter: Under animations, and in Close animations, there i have crossed "Burn" [23:35] Oh... [23:35] adante: Replace the cd drive [23:35] wolter: were there other things there needed to be crossed to ? [23:35] adante:then theres something wrong either with your drive or hmm.. [23:35] I now know what you are doing. You are enablling burn for the random effect option. [23:35] hao [23:35] blue112: the wireless won't work in Windows? [23:36] It doesn't, sebsebseb. [23:36] jimdb_: indeed the -u option is better :-) [23:36] jimdb_: wow, it's a laptop drive so i'd have to verify it is indeed broken [23:36] wolter: Yes :) ? [23:36] hi [23:36] gcc -c Compile and assemble, but do not link. What does it mean and why doesn't it work? [23:36] blue112: ok well that right there is a problem, and you can't just expect it to work in Ubuntu either, because wireless tends to need to be configured in Ubuntu [23:36] can someone tell me if im doing something right or wrong with this [23:36] http://pastebin.com/d19d11746 [23:36] blue112: if it does not work in Windowds, something has gone wrong with the wireless hardware, or you got a bad Windows wireless driver? [23:36] sebsebseb: I know that. [23:37] You have to edit the row/item/thing that's below Animation Selection > Open Effect [23:37] blue112: get it working in Windows, and then you can do Ubuntu [23:37] sebsebseb: The wifi uses to work well in Windows before. [23:37] blue112: does it work at all in Windows? [23:37] anyone have any idea what kind of hard drives dell uses? [23:38] whatever they can get on sale, or have a contract with for that month i imagine [23:38] Kamikaze, not check the items under "Random Effects. [23:38] It doesn't work. [23:38] wolter: okay i have uncheked burn under random effects now [23:38] :-( [23:38] blue112: ok well then get it working in Windows, and then do Ubuntu as I said. and so go to #windows [23:38] adante: Either external USB cd or do a wubi install if you have windows on the comp [23:38] wolter: now what are you saying, what should i do now ? [23:38] blue112: Ubuntu suppourt here, not Windows [23:39] wolter: what should i edit ?
