[00:00] Flare183, no problem [00:00] andre1: ok, it is working, what you can do is go to System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects, and make sure that's set to None [00:00] andre1: then you can use alt+left mouse button to move the window around so you can see all of it [00:00] I just want to say thanks to all who have helped me get Ubuntu up and running, so Thank you! === anthonys is now known as PoetOfShadows [00:01] <|kush> sup guys [00:01] <|kush> i'm here on ubuntu :D [00:01] genii, reinstalling libc6 does nothing [00:01] <|kush> I downloaded irssi, but i cannot get it running [00:01] <|kush> lol [00:01] |kush: you downloaded irssi? [00:01] |kush: what's the error given? [00:01] anyone know how to launch Anim 2000 after install [00:02] |kush: tarball or with package manager? === AndryZ is now known as Andry_Sleep [00:03] Anybody know what I need to remove from /etc/resolv.conf to force Ubuntu to use dhcp for them? [00:04] :\ [00:04] Why wont my wireless workj ;( [00:04] crdlb I can't change the resolution. [00:04] I got the wep key , but it keeps asking for the authentication [00:04] silentContender: Looks like something similar on this here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/59758 [00:04] BrandonB: what kind of WEP do you have? [00:04] Huufarted, unrelated. DHCP can tell you which DNS servers to use, which ends up in /etc/resolv.conf, but editing resolf.conf won't affect DHCP [00:04] It recognises my card (thank god) [00:04] 64 bit [00:04] can i use my printer that is connected to a windows computer [00:05] skooz yes [00:05] BrandonB: are you sure that you are using the correct type of WEP password? If I recall, there are like 3 different types of WEP [00:05] good [00:05] crdlb I have a 19" flat panel lcd screen.. the max resolution for this monitor + video card is like 1340x900 [00:05] sprinkmeier_, dhcp can be used to populate DNS servers as well. I'm trying to figure out how to make Ubuntu grab the DNS entries from the DHCP server again [00:05] I am pretty sure :\ [00:06] andre1: do you see the X Server Display Configuration page? [00:06] sprinkmeier_, I overwrote the default /etc/resolv.conf but like a fool didn't back it up first [00:06] Huufarted, drop your interfaces and raise them again? or slightly faster: "sudo killall -9 dhclient ; sudo dhclient eth0" [00:07] crdlb yes, this is where I'm in, tryin to change the resolution [00:07] andre1: so what are the choices for Resolution? [00:07] Anyone here like Lifehacker? [00:07] >.> [00:07] Huufarted, /etc/resolv.conf gets overwritten anyway with stuff your computer gets from dhcp server [00:07] Huufarted, or, look at /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.leases (it lists everything the DHCP server gave you) and un-munge the resolv.conf [00:08] 640x480 & 320x240 [00:08] sprinkmeier_, thanks. That will come in handy [00:08] crdlb ^ [00:08] andre1: :/ [00:08] andre1: did you try pressing Detect Displays? [00:08] andre1, 640 pixels should be enough for anyone... [00:08] I believe the nvidia-glx driver is wrong. [00:09] lol 640 is too large... i can't settle for 640 when it should be 1340 [00:09] hola a todos [00:09] andre1: you are using the proprietary nvidia driver, the only choice other than the 2d-only nv driver [00:09] !es | AZP [00:09] AZP: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [00:09] ok gracias [00:10] damn... that's too bad.

[00:13] phuzion: a "client"? i don't get you really. i understand what an SVN client is, but i have no idea what a PHP "client" would be. perhaps you mean a PHP-oriented IDE, with integrated SVN upload/download support?

[00:14] silentContender: Do you have in /etc/event.d director, files with names tty1 tty2 and so on? [00:14] that is during install by the way [00:14] abdre1: and it will not let you change the resolution with it? [00:14] sizzlefire: Its the CD or your CD reader [00:15] ok, im pretty sure its not the CD, as I have used it in other computers [00:15] Buffer I/O error also [00:15] tw1tch it will.. but the resolution is too low. [00:15] can anyone tell me what might cause apt-get to seg fault while setting up module-init-tools? [00:15] phuzion: uhm, off hands i can't find anything that's both a code editor and acts as an svn client. let me look better [00:15] I should be able to have 1340x900 max [00:15] LjL: emacs works [00:15] dean: err, yeah well i guess it does [00:15] phuzion, emacs. it's the last editor you'll ever need :-) [00:17] andre1: what video card do you have and what video card does ubuntu say you have? using lspci [00:17] it does a great job at cooking toast or changing tires [00:17] phuzion: kdevelop depends on libsvn, so should probably have built-in svn capabilities (it's KDE though) [00:17] but i think vi is the better editor [00:17] editor wars in #ubuntu-bots or #ubuntu-offtopic please ;) [00:18] tw1tch 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation nForce2 AGP (rev a2) [00:18] hello guys [00:18] i tried to install LUK [00:18] and it broke my computer please help me [00:18] phuzion: anjuta depends on libsvn too, but i think it's pretty centered on C(++) development [00:18] hey [00:19] tw1tch VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX - nForce GPU] (rev a3) [00:19] hey gurls [00:19] Nick_Meister, symptoms? [00:19] andre1: this is as you expect? which driver does ubuntu hardware drivers give you? [00:19] LjL, I use a program called TortiseSVN on Windows, which is essentially a shell extension for SVN. Is there anything like that for Ubuntu? [00:19] sprinkmeier_, i get an error with grub as follows Error 11: Unrecognized device string [00:19] nvidia-glx [00:20] brb, i uninstalled the driver and i need to restart. [00:20] phuzion: yes there is (though you asked for someone that also worked as an editor, so i didn't consider that) [00:20] i booted the pc up with a live cd [00:20] Well, I don't mind separating SVN and editing [00:20] Nick_Meister, can you still boot into 'recovery mode' from GRUB? BTW, what's LUK? [00:20] but i am clueless how to fix this [00:20] So, if there's stuff that works easily like that, then that rules [00:20] sprinkmeier_, only into live cd all the options give me that error [00:20] phuzion: on KDE, it's in kdesdk-kio-plugins. on GNOME let me look [00:21] sprinkmeier_, Linux Unified Kernel [00:21] ok === brandon_thomson is now known as bthomson [00:21] sprinkmeier_, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Unified_Kernel [00:21] phuzion: actually on GNOME i can't find one. [00:21] anyone else use partimage? It segfaults here every time; usually I end up booting to the insert live CD to use it but that's a pain. I should be able to use in under ubuntu [00:21] Damn [00:21] phuzion: not really [00:22] phuzion: of course there's a few frontends (that don't act as a "shell extension") [00:22] i guess thats what i get for messing around with chinese software :S\ [00:22] When my machine boots now I have like 4 different ubuntu options....just wondering how come...http://paste.ubuntu.com/128536/ [00:22] hiredgoon: how can i manually change something linke "system - preferences - keyboard: layout options - third level choosers"? [00:22] Hmm, what would a couple of those be, LjL ? [00:22] hi ppl [00:22] any ideas? [00:22] sry, its for all of you not only hiredgoon ;) [00:22] Nick_Meister, AFAICT LUK isn't a ubuntu thing, this might not be the best forum to get help. [00:23] phuzion: just "apt-cache search svn client" and "apt-cache search subversion client", you'll find a lot (possibly also "subversion frontend" or "subversion gui", haven't tried those yet) [00:23] m3gaman, those are different kernel versions... don't worry, just boot with the latest [00:23] sprinkmeier_, yes i understand but its so fresh that there isnt an english community it just got released in english this past month [00:23] haven't seen any [00:23] Nick_Meister, [b]leading edge stuff :-) [00:23] subversion frontends that is [00:24] sprinkmeier_, this is the last place i can look [00:24] phuzion: rapidsvn, esvn, subcommander, svn-workbench... [00:24] i changed my pc's hostname in /etc/hostname... now everytime i use 'sudo commands' it says: 'unable to resolve host '?? [00:24] Does anyone know anything to copy DVDs to AVI? [00:24] any thoughts [00:24] I'm gonna check out rapidsvn, just to see what its like [00:24] phuzion: and then kdesvn but that's kde again. [00:24] I can't figure out how to work dvd::rip [00:24] sprinkmeier_, i ve been googling for a very long time on this, this is literraly my last resort [00:24] ubersoldat: ok, so...I guess my next question would be is there a way to get rid of the older version? or is this something that happens when you upgrade?? because I only did the install like 2 days ago so...just trying to understand why there are 2 different kernel version now...thanks [00:24] LjL, right, I'd prefer to stick with Gnome, if at all possible [00:24] SuperMoops, thoggen does DVD->ogg [00:24] SuPeRhAm, AcidRips [00:25] phuzion: there is no GNOME frontend [00:25] SuperMoops: try k9copy it's a lot more simple [00:25] phuzion: none of those i listed seems to be *strictly* GNOME. a couple should be GTK though. [00:25] zcat[1], k9copy runs slower than I don't know what [00:25] I've written my own copy script [00:25] m3gaman, sure, probably they will dissapear eventually by aptitude's magic [00:25] Nick_Meister, never heard of LUK before today, without sitting in front of it and potentially breaking it even more I wouldn't even know where to begin. Sorry. [00:25] sprinkmeier_, Yes, but it doesn't make it in to ONE file [00:25] LjL, all I really care about is that it works, lol [00:25] SuperMoops: weird. it's lightening fast on my 1.6ghz lappy.. [00:26] m3gaman, anyway, those kernels won't bother you and they just use like 25MB of disk [00:26] sprinkmeier_, well can we begin with fixing the grub? [00:26] Hm, I'm on a p4 1.8 dual core [00:26] ubersoldat: ok I won't worry about it...thanks for the help [00:26] SuperMoops, Fair enough. It does what I need, just thought I'd mention it in case it might help. [00:26] does gnome have some widget app, somewhat like the kde 4 so i can add weather , cpu usage etc on the desktop [00:26] not really [00:26] failers, gdesklets [00:26] ubersoldat: ok [00:26] !tab | ubersoldat [00:26] ubersoldat: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [00:27] failers, also checkout AWN [00:27] failers, pretty cool [00:27] LjL, rapidsvn seems to do what I want. Thanks a bunch! [00:27] Nick_Meister, pastebin grub config file?If LUK do3esn't even get past GRUB then maybe it isn't ripe enough to try. [00:27] failers, and has simple widgets [00:27] ubersoldat: oki [00:27] sprinkmeier_, unfortunately i cant even load the old kernel [00:27] gadgets [00:28] sprinkmeier_, it busted everything [00:28] sprinkmeier_, well first where do i find it and whats the pastebin command cause all i have is live distro [00:28] !grub | Nick_Meister [00:28] Nick_Meister: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [00:29] ok, any alternatives to partimage. NOT g4u or dd if=/dev/hda or crap ike that though, stuff that's actually filesystem-aware [00:29] Nick_Meister, on ubuntu is lives in /boot/grub/menu.lst. Other distros hide it in other places, YMMV [00:29] * bruce89 wonders what's wrong with dd [00:30] bruce89: Absolutely nothing [00:30] zcat[1]: tar [00:30] bruce89: I don't want a 40G image, I only want the 3G of files on there [00:30] Do i need a special package to edit m4a files?

If the disk was formerly empty it'ss compress _really_ well [00:31] phuzion: you might also want to keep an eye (perhaps in the form of an RSS feed from http://packages.ubuntu.com) in case this http://naughtysvn.tigris.org/ or this http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php/GnubVersion get some time included into Ubuntu [00:31] sprinkmeier_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/128544/ [00:31] the disk wasn't formerly empty [00:31] LjL, Thanks, I'll do that [00:32] phuzion: both are what you were looking for - i.e. similarly to Tortoise, they integrate into Nautilus [00:32] and I can't figure out how to work DVD::RIP or to make thoggen/acidrip make ONE file [00:32] phuzion: nothing too difficult about compiling it if you wanted to [00:32] Intrepid should work fine with 2.6.18, right? [00:32] sprinkmeier_, did you get it? [00:32] OK, any clues why partimage consistently segfaults in recent ubuntus, it worked on older ones and it still works off a recent insert [00:32] What's the earliest kernel that Intrepid will work with? === irishluney is now known as tadcan [00:32] any way to install something with apt-get but have autoremove think it's unecesarry? [00:32] Nick_Meister, "root=UUID=d2fc1bf6-7916-45cc-b0fe-7e81c06b1bc9" means it's trying to find partition by UUID. Could this have changed? boot off lice CD and run 'sudo blkid /dev/sd[ab]*' [00:32] bruce89, my biggest concern with compiling my own software is compatibility issues down the road. Suppose Nautilus gets an update and it messes with the interfacing between naughtsvn and itself, then I have go in and troubleshoot it and such. [00:33] s/lice/live/ debugging tool. freudian slip? [00:33] genii, sorry had to go. Just look at the link you gave me. It's similar to my case. [00:33] hi i want to ask..is it possible to built a dns server when i have a dynamic ip? [00:33] phuzion: that's also a problem with packages [00:33] sprinkmeier_, ran it nothing happened [00:33] hmm anyone else using irssi [00:34] shally87: not one that the rest of the internet will really be able to use [00:34] failers_: best to just ask your question [00:34] bruce89, true, but the things that are in the repositories generally stay maintained and up to date with other Ubuntu packages. [00:34] well i got graphical bugs in it [00:34] Nick_Meister, OK... /dev/sd[ab]* assumes SATA disks. try /dev/hd* for IDE? [00:34] sometimes it gets 1 line behind [00:34] sprinkmeier_, its a SATA [00:34] and i have to move the window to get it "updated" [00:34] sprinkmeier_, its a laptop [00:35] Where to downloads Ubuntu 9.4 beta [00:35] Nick_Meister, pastebin 'sudo fdisk -l' [00:35] LjL i dont get it [00:35] Does someone know how to fix getty? [00:35] I have about 77 Tracks to this one DVD, small tracks [00:35] silentContender: There seems from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1058964 a guy who solved it due to no .bashrc in the users dir, he copied a template one over and chowned it. Your mileage may vary [00:35] phuzion: not unless upstream stops maintaining it [00:35] and each one wants to make a separate AVI for each track. [00:35] shally87: what don't you get? i'm simply saying that nobody except you would be able to connect to your DNS server, if its very IP changes over time. [00:35] (or ogv) [00:36] Also, Acidrip wont let me do but 1 track at a time. [00:36] LjL: owh..si i just can use a dynamic dns that aleady built out side is it? is there other way to use the dns sever =? [00:36] SuperMoops: try dvd::rip [00:36] heh [00:36] sprinkmeier_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/128546 [00:36] shally87: now *i* don't get you. [00:36] Stinky, How do you work it ? [00:37] About the same as the others. Configure, point, wait. It's in the repos [00:37] SuperMoops, I think you should get an idea of codecs and containers [00:38] sprinkmeier_, seems it does have sda [00:38] I create a "project" , choose the DVD image, then what? [00:38] there's nothing wrong with the software [00:38] ubersoldat, ? [00:38] LjL: i just can use a dynamic dns that already built out side is it(dyndns,everydns,no-ip)? is there other way to use my own dns sever with a dynamic ip? [00:38] genii, no mileage [00:38] my irssi keeps failing and be 1 line behind when i compare it to my windows irc next to me on the other comp and i have to move the console window to get it "updated" or just wait until someone else writes a new line and the line that didnt exist appears [00:39] Stinky, after the DVD is loaded, what do I do ? [00:39] sprinkmeier_, so what do you think? [00:39] Nick_, 'sudo blkid /dev/sda*' should have worked then. argh... [ab] is a bach-ism... [00:39] I see, there is a RIP button in the DVD table of contents [00:39] http://www.ehow.com/how_2046915_rip-dvds-linux-acidrip.html [00:39] Nick_Meister, 'sudo blkid /dev/sda*' should have worked then. argh... [ab] is a bash-ism, might not work on your shell. [00:40] dash is the default /bin/sh [00:40] SuperMoops: Edit preferences, install anything that's missing, start project, point at dvd [00:40] shally87: if what you do to do is to have your site listed on DNS, then just use dyndns & friends. if you want to set up your own public DNS server, there is no way on a dynamic IP [00:41] Nick_Meister, anyway... try 'sudo blkid /dev/sda*' and verify that the UUID matches [00:41] sprinkmeier_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/128550/ [00:41] How do you send the audio that's going to your speakers directly to the microphone, even if you have no actual microphone. [00:41] what im asking is, how do you accomplish the same thing, internally, as if you put a physical microphone next to your speakers. [00:41] LjL: ok..thanks [00:42] xine is the only thing missing [00:42] emma, your mic should be on a dev [00:42] How do I repair getty? I can't log in [00:42] Nick_, /dev/sda1 matches... sorry, I'm out of ideas at this stage. [00:43] ubersoldat: huh? [00:43] sprinkmeier_, :*( [00:43] emma, your speakers are at /dev/dsp [00:43] emma, sort of [00:44] emma, and your mic is probable at /dev/audio [00:44] Warning: diskspace is low. This task needs about 418669 MB, but only 65246 MB are available.Do you want to continue anyway? [00:44] what in the world ? [00:44] yeah im not sure how to use that fact to further the goal in my question. [00:44] sprinkmeier_, well i cant just reinstall the whole thing [00:44] That's what I get when I try to rip the selected titles [00:44] (and chapters) [00:44] sprinkmeier_, any way to just reinstall grub and make it reconfig itself automatically? [00:44] ubersoldat: so do you cat /dev/dsp | /dev/audio [00:44] ? [00:45] SuperMoops: why do you have to have one file per disk? [00:46] disc even [00:46] emma, I would use > instead of | [00:46] !grub | Nick_Meister [00:46] i'll see what that does at least. [00:46] Nick_Meister: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [00:46] emma, that could work [00:46] bruce89, I want to rip it in to one avi. not a whole package of them, and why in the world would it be trying to use that much space? [00:46] something's misconfigured, but that's a complex program anyway [00:47] it said that /dev/audio is busy [00:47] SuperMoops, maybe you could use mencoder directly [00:47] or gst-launch [00:47] Would I be able to use Avidemux for this ? [00:47] genii, when I run "login" in the recovery console and enter user/pass, I get "Segmentation fault" [00:47] nope [00:47] emma, then I'm out ideas [00:48] what i want to do is direct the audio that's coming out of my speakers (say when im listening to music) directly back into the mic, so that i could have friends with voip hear it too [00:48] silentContender: Yeah, thats serious. Maybe the partition containing /home is bad [00:48] I'm not sure how to search for this on google or the forums [00:48] what is it called what I'm trying to do? [00:48] silentContender: (if it's on a separate drive/partition) [00:49] genii, I only have one partition [00:49] (insanity?) [00:49] probably [00:49] silentContender: Have you fsck the drive recently? [00:49] genii, Yes [00:49] because the device is being used [00:49] Supermoopies: http://paste.ubuntu.com/128551/ [00:49] i don't need the device to be used. [00:49] thought that only does one title too [00:50] silentContender: Have you run memtest recently on your ram? [00:50] i want to direct the audio that's going to my speakers into the mic [00:50] ideally so i can still hear it in my speakers too. [00:50] hi, can anybody tell me how to use XChat to log into a different IRC chat area, this is my first time using Xchat, and it automatically brought me here, but I want to go to the Gnome-shell chat area. [00:50] aihua: connect to gimpnet [00:50] aihua: /join #channel [00:50] aihua: /join channelname [00:51] aihua: you need to put a # before the channel name [00:51] gnome-shell? [00:51] please, the gnome irc channels are not on Freenode [00:51] but there is no channel on Freenode called #gnome-shell [00:51] how do you empty the trash on a USB drive without unmounting it? [00:51] emma: you're looking for audio loopback. [00:51] genii, tried reinstalling login without success [00:52] Flannel: okay this sounds promising. [00:52] aihua, your question is going to be about Bash, so... [00:52] maybe a help in #vmware [00:52] soy [00:52] sorry [00:52] I am really new to this. I have the server name and the password (beginning with the #) but don't know where to enter them to change chat rooms. this is my first time using IRC [00:52] genii, I have not ran a memtest [00:52] aihua: /join #other-channel [00:52] silentContender: Have you tried making a new user and logging in that name? [00:53] I tried k9copy , put a check in the first checkbox, clicked "make MP4" and bye bye baby after that (crashed?) [00:53] genii, I have tried a new user too [00:53] aihua: irc://irc.gnome.org/#gnome-shell [00:53] does compiz have any known graphical bugs with newest nvidia driver? [00:54] Supermoopies: there's a bug making k9copy useless [00:54] silentContender: I have nothing more to suggest at this time then, other than perhaps memtest on offchance your ram is possibly to blame [00:55] bruce89, thanks. that is what I have, I just don't know how to use it to get into a new room. In Xchat, what menu should I enter to input what you just listed? [00:55] genii, running it now [00:55] Is there any alternatives to that besides DVDShrink ? [00:55] aihua: AFAIK you just click it [00:55] aihua: go to networks, scroll down the list till you find gnome [00:55] Bruce89 & emma: thanks, i will try now [00:55] aihua: then click on connect and once on the gnome irc network type /join #your-channel [00:56] #gnome-shell to be precise [00:56] libgtk2.0-0-dbg; how the heck am I supposed to use that package? [00:56] aihua: be aware there are very few people there [00:56] when I install libc6-dbg it puts a libc.so.6 into /usr/lib/debug [00:56] so that I can just point my LD_LIBARARY_PATH to /usr/lib/debug and I'm all set [00:57] but libgtk2.0-0-dbg does no such thing [00:57] so what the heck am I supposed to do? [00:57] rutski: try running the program in gdb [00:57] yeah, good luck with that [00:57] lstarnes: I do, it just loads the non-dbg version of libgtk; as I can see when I ask gdb to do an "info sharedlibraries" [00:57] hello [00:57] "dude, learn to use a debugger, it's easy!" [00:58] i resized my swap partition a day ago. i have rebooted a couple of times no problem, but when i want to hibernate it does not work, the system comes back on as if i just locked the screen [00:58] does anyone know how to get a broadcom 802.11g/b working on xubuntu? [00:58] rutski: afaik, gdb automatically looks in /usr/lib/debug for debugging symbols; you are not supposed to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH [00:58] sauce, its usually a matter of finding the Windows driver, and installing it using ndisgtk [00:58] crdlb: ah, interesting [00:58] anyone know how to set a laptop display to start up at full brightness, in Hardy my laptop boots with the screen on the dimmest setting. [00:58] guys please help me solve GRUB error 11 [00:58] crdlb: either way though, the debug lib isn't there! even though I installed the package [00:58] which windows driver? im a noob with linux really [00:58] Dreamglider: what's the new size? [00:59] i have some windows drivers [00:59] hello, everyone, I cannot get my mp3s to work in rhythmbox, I have installed the package: ubuntu-restricted-extras .. but still whenever I add a new folder it says MIME type no recognized [00:59] bruce89: it's 3Gb [00:59] is there a way to have fsck not "resolve=UUID**"? I have an encrypted drive which fsck doesn't recognize and it pretty much halts my start-up [00:59] !ddebs | rutski [00:59] rutski: ddebs is See http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/ddebs/ and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-September/000195.html for documentation [00:59] you could try those [00:59] Dreamglider: sorry, misunderstood the problem [00:59] NooB here, MCSE, gone linux... hate windows vista+ so i thought id go here anyone know how to do the Ubuntu wii setup... im having issues with blue tooth.. could use some help [00:59] what is the correct way to use ndisgtk?

[01:00] crdlb: it still bothers me that the ubuntu devs would put such a broken unusable dbg package in the repo [01:01] how do i log into root on terminal? when i try to apt get ndisgtk it says permission denied [01:01] Out_Cold: in /etc/fstab put 0 0 at the end of that drive's line instead of 0 1 [01:01] !sudo | sauce [01:01] sauce: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

[01:02] ubersoldat: dosent seemed to make a difference no matter what I change in the settings [01:02] bigrigger, thanks! is there any way for fsck to check the drive without unencrypting it you think?

I do have it connected through vga. [01:04] rutski: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1400.4 [01:04] bruce89: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i386/libc6-dbg/filelist note how the libc6-dbg package installs /usr/lib/debug/libc6.so.6 [01:04] bruce89: nope, that's no good; the linker doesn't see that [01:04] oh, there's an extra /usr [01:04] how do I use an external monitor on my laptop? I do have it connected through vga.

[01:09] http://www.touchkit.com/LinuxDriver.htm [01:09] I'm not surprised; I still suspect that there might be something I'm missing here [01:09] Hello I am having some troubel with my sound applications (ie. rhythmbox, amarok, gtkpod) when i plug in my ipod it makes them crash... with a Bus error and I don't know what that means can anyone help me?

I really dont want to use wine and office but it is looking that way... I know i can modify the dll's in IE and run it on Ubuntu to run the Visio files...

I just moved my ubuntu install to a new HD (same computer). I've gone through the instructions on "Backup, Repairing and Reinstalling GRUB" here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#GUI and I've updated my /etc/fstab. Have I forgotten anything I need to do before I boot from my new HD? [01:16] * sdasdas se ausenta un rato [01:16] TheManInDboX: I'm afraid if you're stuck with MS formats, you need to use MS programs [01:17] installing windows vista or 7, your better off tossing your machine off a bridge [01:17] !ot [01:17] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:17] or perhaps go to #rant [01:17] take it easy all thanks for the help with root and visio [01:18] I suppose, I just don't want to see a flamewar [01:18] Emma or Bruce 89, when I click on irc.gnome.org and then press "connect," nothing happens. I just get a "none" (in my language) where the server list is to the left. doesn't seem to give me a chance to enter any #chat room [01:19] Seems like fixing grub and fstab is all I'd need to do. [01:19] Bruce, flamewars is need any times... [01:19] only in #rant [01:20] I'm hoping those instructions are everything I'd need to do to fix grub appropriately. I haven't messed much with grub in my time. [01:20] aihua: there should be a network list somewhere [01:20] aihua: select GIMPNet [01:20] i am having hell of a time with the keyboard shortcuts [01:21] i have set in preferences, keyboard short cuts..

[01:25] Guys I need some help with Apache2. Just installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 8.10 to test this. With nothing in .htaccess, if I type localhost/index.php or localhost/index (without the .php extension) I'm taken to the same page. I'm not doing any rewriting yet. Anyone know why this is? [01:26] i changed vipw by mistake what can i do? [01:26] aihua: same network [01:26] #ubuntu-women [01:26] oops [01:26] ricardo1: changed like what? [01:26] akgraner: they'll hate you for that. [01:26] moi [01:26] Bruce89: that's great. i don't know how this vudoo works, but it does so thanks! [01:26] LjL: i deleted some entries [01:26] ricardo1: like your user? === purplepe1guins is now known as purplepenguins [01:27] maybe [01:27] i dont know what i deleted [01:27] how can i restore it [01:28] LjL: can you help me please? [01:28] what should i do? [01:28] ricardo1: what is vipw? [01:29] ricardo1: i can't help you restore it if i don't know what changed, since i don't believe vipw makes a backup. can you currently log in? [01:29] DIFH-iceroot: an administrator for the passwd and shadow password files [01:30] also known as "something you really shouldn't be using unless you know what you're doing extremely well" [01:30] LjL i am logged in [01:30] yes LjL i did a mistake [01:30] I still logged off [01:30] ricardo1: ok, but can you *still* login? (DON'T log out, just see if you can make a further login) [01:30] ? [01:30] Ubuntu install today [01:30] LjL how can i do that? [01:30] box is freezing, likewise capslock and scroll lock light are blinking [01:31] how can i know if i can make a further login? [01:31] ricardo1: just ctrl+alt+f2 and login, then ctrl+alt+f7 to go back to X === espacious_ is now known as espacious [01:32] ext3 = ext2 + journal? or are there any other differences too? [01:32] why would firefox/flash randomly break, and only play video for a few seconds, then loop audio? [01:32] DIFH-iceroot: htrees too [01:33] bruce89: ok, thanks [01:33] I'm still having iptables/route problems and not sure which it is. Can someone take a look? :http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/routingiptables-problem-710040/#post3468919 [01:33] unmonkey: that's a kernel panic. congrats [01:34] yay? [01:34] soo, how do I figure out what's causing it? Cause its happening fairly regularly [01:34] LjL: i could do that [01:34] unmonkey: could be a lot of things, you should check the logs in /var/log. start by typing "dmesg". [01:34] boot from ubuntu cd and look for log files [01:35] fireun, do you now a your flash version??? [01:35] ricardo1: ok, so can you pastebin your current /etc/passwd? (it doesn't really contain passwords as i think you know) [01:35] I've been mounting devices by hand [01:35] ricardo1: it does give out to us the usernames on your system, though [01:35] ok [01:36] Rodrigo_Lopes: uh, no - 10 something [01:36] unmonkey: that shouldn't cause issues normally. [01:37] k, i'll reload it and see what's going on; be back with logs. thx [01:37] Hello everyone [01:37] !hi > gabriel [01:37] gabriel, please see my private message [01:38] bruce89: that's a bit, err... superfluous? =) [01:38] I have a question, how can you protect the file system in ubuntu? I mean, so nobody can modify it or delete files [01:38] just wondered [01:38] chmod? [01:38] gabriel: why would you? === NDPTAL86 is now known as NDPTAL85 [01:39] gabriel: nobody can modify or delete files in the root hierarchy (of course they *can* if they have physical access to the machine - just use a boot CD or anything). [01:39] gabriel, How?? [01:39] I have seen that in windows you can protect the hard drive so nobody can delete files from it [01:39] gabriel: as for the home directories, that depends on how they're setup, i'm not sure whether current ubuntu versions set them for no access by others [01:39] gabriel: like bitlocker? there's cryptfs [01:39] anyone can always delete your files if they have physical access to your machine. [01:39] LjL can i send you it by private? [01:39] gabriel: that will break upgrades [01:40] ok, something like that raylu [01:40] gabriel: but that doesn't prevent people from deleting - what LjL said [01:40] !paste | ricardo1 [01:40] ricardo1: 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) [01:40] how can i secure my system then? [01:40] gabriel: you can't. no system is "secure". [01:40] gabriel, the /home/user the "user" can change.. but /usr /bin and anothers directoryes only with administrator password... [01:40] where does ubuntu keep the firefox temp videos [01:40] gabriel: for which purpose? [01:40] gabriel: ask exactly what you want to achieve, and we'll tell you whether it's possible. [01:40] or if not, why. [01:41] tsuna27: ~/.mozilla likely [01:41] for network purposes [01:41] tsuna27: there are tools to do that for you [01:41] gabriel: ubuntu is relatively secure without doing anything special, with regard to network attacks. [01:41] ok thank you [01:41] gabriel: unless you install new, insecure services or compromise your existing ones, no one without your password will be able to delete files over the network [01:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/128560/ [01:42] gabriel: you could always set up a firewall if you're not behind a router, or if you're paran - i mean concerned about security. [01:42] !firewall > gabriel (gabriel, see the private message from ubottu) [01:42] ok, thank you for your answer raylu [01:42] Does anybody have a workaround for the flashplugin-nonfree license (apt & wget) problem in jaunty? [01:42] ricardo1: surely just remove those 'A's and 'B's [01:42] !jaunty | Siegfried [01:42] Siegfried: Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [01:43] yes thank you bruce89 what else can i do? [01:43] thanks jrib and sorry [01:43] Siegfried: http://is.gd/msg4 [01:43] ricardo1: AFAIK, that's all that is wrong there [01:43] ricardo1: if you'd given me time to answer, i'd have told you that pasting long stuff over IRC would result in you being disconnected... anyway. [01:43] bruce89 but I deleted some entries [01:44] LjL its ok no problem [01:44] it was my fault [01:44] ok, so I'm looking at the dmesg logs, they're pretty foreboding... [01:44] what am I looking for to figure out what caused my kernel panic [01:45] hello. Can someone tell me how to enable wireless? It disabled itself after i installed rndis for phone tethering. [01:45] swegner, thanks a lot, that did it! :) (the rm -rf ) [01:45] good night everyone, thanks for the help [01:45] ricardo1: "aysql" on the last line should be "mysql", and of course you should remove the random letters in the previous lines. [01:45] ricardo1: as for the rest, you might have lost some usernames, but there's no way for me to know [01:45] Siegfried: good to hear. I was having that problem earlier as well [01:45] !danger [01:45] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [01:46] LjL: can this help: You have modified /etc/passwd. You may need to modify /etc/shadow for consistency. Please use the command `vipw -s' to do so. [01:46] ricardo1: well yes, it does actually. but you shouldn't show us your /etc/shadow, because that contains the password. just check it yourself, and see if there are any users listed in shadow which are not there in passwd [01:46] ! bugs [01:46] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [01:47] ok LjL i will tell you [01:49] what is a good C++ IDE for ubuntu?

[01:50] raylu: it's surprising how much you can do with a properly-configured vim setup :) [01:50] that's why it says editors/suites [01:50] bruce89: oh [01:51] swegner: i'm only surprised at how not annoying and fast it is. want to say the same thing about gedit? :P [01:51] Eclipse or Netbeans are not GNOME [01:51] raylu: also, they do offer syntax highlighting and stuff. [01:51] raylu: vi is so powerfull, much more then any other editors [01:51] !war [01:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about war [01:51] !-ide [01:51] ide is code - added by Pici on 2009-01-30 14:01:50 [01:52] !opinion [01:52] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

I mean, i have a simple application that when executed yields a segmentation fault. I would really appreciate taking a look at the core dump [01:54] but there ain't one [01:55] milosevic: ulimit -c unlimited [01:56] milosevic: if it works, you'll see Segmentation Fault (core dumped) [01:56] man page says ulimit is obsolete [01:56] but yeah, i got a core dump [01:57] LjL: I deleted lp mail gnunet and postgres what should i do? [01:57] I'm still having iptables/route problems and not sure which it is. Can someone take a look? :http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/routingiptables-problem-710040/#post3468919 [01:58] guys i am having a grub problem Error 11: Unrecognized device string [01:58] How do I change the background in Nautilus? I seem to have forgotten... [01:58] milosevic: which man page says that? [01:58] ulimit's man page [01:59] milosevic: man 3 ulimit is for the function, not the command [01:59] ulimit is a bash builtin, so it's in man bash [01:59] hm [01:59] that sounds about right [01:59] Wald1, go in Edit > Background and events... [01:59] thank you [02:00] Is there a way to configure thec NBR's launcher to show Place's folder contents within the launcher itself, as the application categories show their contents in the main frame of the launcher? [02:00] I found that i deleted lp, mail, gnunet and postgres from vipw what lines should i insert? [02:00] Rodrigotr_LOPes: Thanks, found it [02:00] Doh, tab complete malfunction [02:00] ricardo1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/128568/ these are my entries for them (and there's no gnunet here), but i can't really guarantee the numbers are right. you should probably "sudo apt-get --reinstall install" postgres and gnunet (i've no idea what you'd need to reinstall for mail and lp, just hope mine work) [02:00] I have a quetion, will 5 gigs be enough for a virtual HDD? [02:01] Zeldarock: thats like asking if 100 pages of paper is enough for a novel ;) [02:01] Zeldarock: it depends on what you plan on putting on it. [02:01] thank you very much LjL [02:01] skel that depends,is it dirty? [02:02] Hey everyone [02:02] M1TM: that depends on what dirty is to you? It's a romance novel about a guy who keeps extra memory laying around, not in anti-static bags [02:03] * M1TM giggles [02:03] I only have 6 gigs left on my real HDD after setting aside 5 gigs for the virtual HDD [02:03] Zeldarock, but.. you want emulate what???? in virtual hdd??? [02:03] ubuntu [02:04] using what program??? virtualbox??? [02:04] yes [02:04] Zeldarock: I think you'll be fine with 5gb if its just the default install [02:04] man, even getting a Hello World program to run in C++ on Ubuntu is difficult [02:05] Royall: whats different about ubuntu thats causing you issues with c++? [02:05] Zeldarock, 5gb is much for simple ubuntu... [02:05] skel: Whatever IDE I try, it's giving me errors [02:05] Eclipse, Kdevelop, Geany [02:05] Royall: what happens if you compile manually? [02:05] Royall: did you install build-essentials? [02:05] all this deal about Makefiles and such [02:06] I don't know how to compile manually [02:06] Royall: probably what kitche said [02:06] build-essentials as in sudo apt-get install build-essentials? [02:06] Royall: I'd learn how to compile and link something manually before I went into using IDE's but obviously thats just my ho. [02:06] Royall: yes [02:07] ricardo1: next time, use the users preferences in your GNOME to change users and groups. if you need to use the CLI, "adduser", "deluser" and in certain cases "usermod" work fine. don't touch passwd. [02:08] how to reinstall a package using aptitude [02:08] ? [02:08] LjL: why shouldnt you use "passwd" ? [02:08] maxagaz: sudo aptitude reinstall 'package' [02:08] linxeh_: i mean the *file* /etc/passwd. [02:08] linxeh_: to disbale login for example [02:09] Zeldarock, xp runing wich 196 of ram and only 2gb of hdd http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9444/screenshot1d.jpg [02:09] LjL: oh I see :) [02:10] got a quick question im using my tv as a monitor and the problem is that i can't see start menu and im just wondering how i can see everything\ [02:10] where'd you get that ubuntu theme? [02:11] anku: do you know what resolution your tv is? [02:11] 1080p [02:11] anku: start menu...? [02:11] anku: I would drop out of X and go to a terminal while hooked up to the tv and try X -configure [02:11] rodrigotr: where'd you get you ubuntu theme? [02:11] I did a "killall firefox", but still when I run firefox, i get this error message : "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." [02:12] anku: see what it puts in the x.org file it creates for you [02:12] maxagaz: so try killall -9 firefox [02:12] LjL, what does that -9 do? [02:12] Jufis: kill forcibly. it's SIGKILL. [02:12] Jufis: man kill has a list [02:12] LjL, okay. thanks :) [02:13] Jufis: man signal will get you a good one too [02:13] skel, thanks [02:14] anku: just make sure you backup your current x.org file if you go with the one you generated [02:14] LjL, i didn't work, i still have the same message [02:14] maxagaz: does "ps aux | grep firefox" show anything? === _LordFDisk is now known as LordFDisk [02:15] LjL, it only returned this line: "gilles 6613 0.0 0.0 3004 768 pts/0 S+ 10:14 0:00 grep firefox" [02:15] maxagaz: there might be state files laying around in your .mozilla dir, you could try mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozaill-bak [02:15] maxagaz: then it's not running, it only thinks it's running... [02:15] How can i find out what style of wifi card and drivers my machine is using? [02:15] LjL, skel : ok, it works now [02:15] mattgyver83: ethtool may tell you [02:16] Thank you, I will look into that. [02:16] maxagaz: but you've lost (well, moved) your settings and cache and stuff [02:16] LjL, skel : do you know from which file does it come from ? [02:16] maxagaz: no i don't know which file precisely signals that an instance of firefox is running [02:16] Hey guys, I'm having some trouble setting up gtk-recordmydesktop to record internal audio. I'm following the guide that mocha wrote here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=986966 but I keep running into a snag on step 2. When i open pavucontrol it doesn't give me an option to move my music's output stream to the Jack sink, I only get the default alsa stuff === MagoPancione is now known as MagroPancione [02:16] :s [02:16] maxagaz: I'm not sure, what I'd do is move it back, then from command line, run strace firefox [02:16] How can I reduce the Memory consumption of utorrent? [02:17] maxagaz: you should be able to see what file its reading to determine its running [02:17] I mean not utoorent [02:17] maxagaz: and remove that [02:17] Ubuntu [02:17] BrandonB, lol, that's a big distinction. [02:17] maxagaz: ok, it's ~/.mozilla/firefox//lock [02:17] maxagaz: remove that file, and you'll be fine [02:17] BrandonB, have you looked into different window managers, using lighter programs? [02:17] Nope :\ [02:18] BrandonB, i.e. Xfce instead of gnome or kde, exaile or audacious instead of banshee or Amarok [02:18] I killed compiz and beryl [02:18] BrandonB: as with any OS, reduce the number of services (daemons), choose a low power window manager (fluxbox or xfce), and watch what programs you use [02:18] BrandonB, it's a start :D [02:18] :D [02:18] BrandonB: is memory an issue currently, and how did you determine that if so? [02:18] BrandonB, i personally love using fluxbox, but there's a learning curve to it... [02:18] <3 fluxbox [02:18] It may be :S See Im getting a cheap PC to run as a home server [02:18] and I would like to reduce it to just waht I need [02:19] BrandonB: avoid a gui then!! [02:19] :s [02:19] BrandonB, don't install X at all [02:19] I want a gui [02:19] boo [02:19] BrandonB, lol, no [02:19] :-P [02:19] :S I dont like the terminal [02:19] It scares me [02:19] BrandonB, links is the shiz :) [02:19] if i want a good dualboot setup, should i install windows then ubuntu, or ubuntu then windows? (ie: what order) [02:19] learn to love it :-P [02:19] BrandonB: you can export X based applications to your linux desktop without running a gui on the server [02:19] BrandonB, I have just the solution! [02:19] BrandonB, the majority of the time, you're not using the server interactively, a GUI is a complete waste [02:19] Is it x-configure without spaces [02:19] ? [02:19] @ BrandonB, http://linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.php [02:19] anku: no, X -configure [02:19] Marco: I plan on VNCing [02:19] anku: just like that [02:19] why does every program i use to try to play a dvd fail [02:19] ic [02:20] BrandonB, what do you plan to do in the GUI? [02:20] !dvd > quaal (quaal, see the private message from ubottu) [02:20] anku: it will probe your system and create a x.org file for you [02:20] Nothing, I just need to be able to mange two or three programs [02:20] anku: you can try with that one, but backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf somewhere safe [02:20] fuffalo: windows then ubuntu [02:20] BrandonB, most server setup is done on the cli or through web interfaces === mike is now known as Guest60579 [02:20] Well, I could do it htat way, but is it possible to boot the gui? [02:20] When I need it [02:20] then kill it when Im done [02:20] anyway, I'mma repost my sound question now :) I'm making a video of ubuntu to show to my friends, and I'd like to run some music in the background [02:20] anku: then copy the one it made in your homedir into /etc/X11 and /etc/init.d/gdm restart (or whatever your wm is) [02:20] BrandonB, yes, tightvncserver [02:21] but I still don't see the point :/ [02:21] I'm having some trouble setting up gtk-recordmydesktop to record internal audio. I'm following the guide that mocha wrote here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=986966 but I keep running into a snag on step 2. When i open pavucontrol it doesn't give me an option to move my music's output stream to the Jack sink, I only get the default alsa stuff [02:21] :\ [02:21] BrandonB, there's little to zero server administration that can be done from the GUI [02:21] BrandonB, trust me. running in the CLI can be fun [02:21] :| [02:21] heh [02:21] BrandonB, there's even games! [02:21] BrandonB, nethack, bastet ;) [02:21] I will explain as simply as possible [02:21] aptitude [02:21] Vovk: have you tried using Jing? it's pretty decent (made from the techsmith guys) its not opensource but its free for personal use [02:21] BrandonB, tightvncserver will use Xvnc to create an X instance that is only accessible through VNC [02:21] Vovk: good for demos [02:21] skel, I'll look into it, thanks :) [02:22] Vovk: np :) [02:22] I am going to run about three programs, one is controllable via web, the other is just to make networking easier, the last has be accesible via other mean (vnc) [02:22] skel, but i do tend to try use an open source solution when possible. it would be nice to tell my friends that the video is 100% FOSS [02:22] BrandonB: Marco's suggestion is probly the best, start the tightvncserver when you need a gui, but otherwise you have a cli server [02:22] So i will get tight VNC [02:22] Ok thanks ;) [02:22] !vnc > BrandonB (BrandonB, see the private message from ubottu) [02:22] and I will try to learn some of the terminal [02:23] !ssh > BrandonB [02:23] BrandonB, please see my private message === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:23] Can you stop that :\ [02:23] BrandonB, you don't know how much you will love it once you learn :) [02:23] :) [02:23] BrandonB: it's useful instructions revelant to what you've asked. [02:23] Vovk: I understand :) [02:24] !terminal [02:24] 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 [02:24] It says fatal server error server is already active for display 0 [02:24] BrandonB: what do you need a server for? [02:24] Its a home file server [02:24] skel, so I'm on their website. does Jing automatically record sound going through the standard output? (speakers) [02:25] that will ease our *legal* downloads [02:25] skel, it's hard to tell from what they've written [02:25] so our computers wont run as slow :\ [02:25] Is there a problem with ubuntu 8.10 and sharing folders? When I share a folder I get accessed denied errors for sub-folders of the shared folder. [02:25] BrandonB, which is why you get utorrent and ubuntu mixed up, lawl [02:25] lawl exactly ;) [02:25] I was downloading the installer [02:25] BrandonB: but out of curiosity, what is this application that needs to be run with X? [02:25] :D [02:26] skel-- It says fatal server error server is already active for display 0 [02:26] SOmething to capture live streams from the internet [02:26] BrandonB: if you plan to run utorrent on that file server, i would suggest looking into deluge as an alternative (if that was a freudian slip earlier :-P ) it can run as a daemon with a web gui [02:26] aye [02:26] in the ubuntu documenation it seems to tell me to install the 64bit version, if i have a processor that supports it... however i've heard that the 64bit version is a big hassle with a lot of applications compraed to the 32bit - is there any truth to that/ [02:26] So can Utorrent, but I will look into that [02:26] !transmission-cli > BrandonB [02:26] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:26] !info transmission-cli > BrandonB [02:26] transmission-cli (source: transmission): free, lightweight BitTorrent client (command line interface).

[02:26] BrandonB: that way you could run it on your ubuntu box, but then manage it in your GUI on another machine [02:27] fuffalo: 64-bit has gotten much better in terms of program compatibility [02:27] LjL, just did what it says to do for 8.04: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Ubuntu 8.04.1 (i386) [02:27] it did nothing. [02:27] LjL, skel : I still don't know where the problem came from, about firefox, but removing ~/.mozilla/firefox//lock didn't help [02:27] Oh :\ can you suggest one? [02:27] Vovk: I think it'll just grab it through the Mic, I haven't tried the latest version which may get through stdout [02:27] fuffalo: depends how much non-free stuff you want [02:27] the only problem i've had in 64 bit is getting boxee to work... other than that... everything has been smoothe [02:27] maxagaz: of course you removed it from the old directory - after moving it back to .mozilla? [02:27] anku: thats why I said logout of X :) [02:27] quaal: and i suppose you are on 8.04? [02:27] anku: do this, ctrl-alt-F2 [02:28] anku: then login [02:28] k [02:28] BrandonB: VLC? [02:28] anku: then do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [02:28] BrandonB: live streams you mean video, right? [02:28] anku: then run the X -configure [02:28] skel, aah... that's the thing. I've no issue with gtk-recordmydesktop through the mic. I can narrate just fine. But in order to capture internal audio, i have to follow mocha's guide [02:28] yes [02:28] I mean tv shows and such [02:28] skel, the only problem is that what he says should be coming up is not coming up [02:28] Bruce89, what do you mean? [02:28] BrandonB: well VLC should be fine, no? [02:28] same thing [02:29] Vovk: ahh =/ [02:29] VLC [02:29] same message [02:29] :s [02:29] LjL, yes. i am using 8.04, therefore i followed the steps detailed for 8.04. [02:29] mocha, at first i thought it was a 64 bit issue, but he also uses 64 bit intrepid [02:29] fuffalo: tends to be less support for non-free things in 64 bit [02:29] I only got ubuntu today :\ [02:29] anku: then sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/xorg.conf.good [02:29] Hence me being a noob [02:29] !info vlc-nox [02:29] vlc-nox (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer (without X support).

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:30] But I have two weeks to play around with it first [02:30] maxagaz: nothing i guess. "lock" is the only file i can see that comes and go depending on whether firefox is running. [02:30] BrandonB, heh... try to learn as much as you can. good luck and welcome to the community :D [02:30] :) Glad to be here [02:30] Hi everyone! Does anyone know how to fix a distorted sound issue in ubuntu [02:30] maxagaz: perhaps try firefox -safe-mode, i dunno [02:30] i have to do that when clt alt f2? [02:30] in [02:30] hunt577, how exactly? [02:31] I have a tendency to rush into things headfirst :) [02:31] hunt577, how is it distorted? is it a certain program? [02:31] LjL, doesn't work too [02:31] Vovk : The sound starts, then it vibrates...i notice on youtube it does this as well but also freezes the video [02:31] hunt577: distorted, like clipping? check your mixer, ensure all sliders are enabled in the preferences, and see if you have some strange "VIA" sliders. turn them down a bit. [02:31] how can I kill the gui? [02:31] maxagaz: i don't know really [02:31] I know there is a command [02:31] BrandonB: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop [02:32] BrandonB: (if you're using gdm as your login manager) [02:32] LjL : Thanks I will try that [02:32] ^-^ [02:32] BrandonB, it doesn't kill it, but you can hit alt+control+Function keys (F1,F2) to get virtual terminals [02:32] LjL, aah, nice [02:32] BrandonB: hit ctrl+alt+f2 then login then type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [02:32] anku: to get to a terminal outside of X11 [02:32] Whats with the Sudo in front of it all? [02:32] !sudo > BrandonB (BrandonB, see the private message from ubottu) [02:32] BrandonB, admin powers [02:32] :D [02:33] One more thing that makes it better than vista [02:33] which doesn't take a lot, uhm [02:33] BrandonB, hehe... so you won't frag your system with 1 click... more importantly, so other people won't either [02:33] LjL, i found the problem : .mozilla/firefox//.parentlock [02:33] :D [02:33] I just installed ubuntu 8.1 on my secondary HD, it's an IDE. I have windows XP installed on my SATA drive. When i set the primary HDD to the IDE with ubuntu, it doesn't allow me to select the OS, it just boots to ubuntu. When i select the SATA with XP on it, it will say DISK BOOT FAILURE. [02:33] unless you stick sudo on the front [02:33] LjL, thansk a lot for your help [02:33] maxagaz: oh. [02:33] maxagaz: i guess i missed that one [02:34] BrandonB, use it sparingly... there is no need to always have all admin rights on all the time... it's just unsafe [02:34] So far Ive only typed in one command :p [02:34] wistol: XP has to be on the primary drive [02:34] so I think Im ok [02:35] Whats the difference between these two programs that come with ubuntu: "Remote Desktop Viewer" and "Terminal Server Client" ? [02:35] bruce, i thought my SATA was the primary drive [02:35] * bruce89 wonders why tsclient is even installed anymore [02:35] BrandonB, to learn to navigate, go to the guide I showed you :) you know... very basic things, cd, ls, mkdir, cp... etc [02:35] ScottG489: the first is for vnc and the second is windows remote desktop viewer [02:35] wistol: I had to set it that way in the BIOS here [02:35] or in my case, the other way [02:35] Hi, anyone know an app for opening windows .bkf backup files? [02:36] musikgoat|main: ahh ok thanks [02:36] wistol: and anyway, it appears grub isn't installed [02:36] cd mkdir [02:36] is in Dos [02:36] ScottG489: it'd be nice if the windows remote desktop viewing could be built into the first, but that hasn't been done yet, hence the second program [02:36] it is [02:36] I know that much :\ [02:36] Vovk : I checked the settings but it doesn't seem to be changing. The sound vibrates like someone shouting down a tunnel at you or something and vibrates [02:36] when i boot from the ubuntu drive, i can access Grub, but windows doesnt appear on the list [02:36] musikgoat|main: yea that would remove a lot of confusion too [02:37] So, i'm having an issue. I'm following a guide and the first step is to start a JACK server. I've done that (default settings). the second step is to open up pavucontrol and set the control from the program making the sound to the Jack Sink... but that is not an option [02:37] BrandonB: actually, DOS has "md", not "mkdir" [02:37] hunt577: which version of ubuntu are you using? how long have you had it? [02:37] wistol: evidently it didn't detect windows at install time [02:37] hunt577: also... do you know which sound card you're using [02:38] :\ [02:38] need help getting widnows to see a printer on my ubuntu machine. Samba is setup, but how do I get windows to see the printer? [02:38] Im pretty sure you can use mkdir [02:38] bruce, do you think it may be because i have ubuntu on the IDE drive? [02:38] BrandonB, not the point :) just do some reading [02:38] :D [02:39] wistol: shouldn't make any difference, the other machine has XP on IDE and Ubuntu on SATA, both are fine [02:39] why does every program i use to try to play a dvd fail [02:39] Vovk: I am using ubuntu 8.10 and I just got put the disk in to use it. This is also a brand new laptop I just got at best buy. I believe my sound card is Altec Lansing [02:39] did what it says to do for 8.04: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Ubuntu 8.04.1 (i386) and it does nothing [02:39] but when i set the SATA drive with XP on it to the first in boot, it says DISK BOOT FAILURE [02:40] I have a serious question I hope you can answer,how can I se the live cd with the commands "SUDO APT-GET REMOVE Compiz Compiz-Core" allready invoked [02:40] quaal: I had similar problem. trying to remember how I fixed it. [02:40] wistol: you need to install grub to the SATA MBR [02:40] I need to be able to use it on slower hard ware [02:41] im lost eeh [02:41] how do i do that [02:41] !grub [02:41] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [02:41] im an idot [02:41] idiot [02:41] anku: whats wrong? [02:42] i just downloaded a possibly corrupted file, that could not be verified with the apt key. does this mean it could contain a threat? [02:42] i don't know where to do it in [02:42] i know u said it [02:42] When using k9copy to create an iso the iso is created perfectly fine in regular ubuntu but the iso is not created at all in xubuntu. The log files state I/O errors, Medium Error. Why would it work fine in ubuntu but not xubuntu? [02:42] I cant wait for crome on Ubuntu, then it will be perfect [02:42] but im not use to doing this [02:42] quaal: did you run the css install script. I believe it is in /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3...checking [02:42] BrandonB: it's on the way [02:42] sorry im so furstrated [02:42] :) I know, thats why I cant wait [02:43] heh [02:43] It will super fast browsing [02:43] lkkjl [02:43] hunt577, hmm. I don't know. LiveCD environments can be tricky. I would suggest downloading and compiling the latest ALSA drivers, but that requires a reboot and cds aren't persistent [02:43] I have a serious question I hope you can answer,how can I se the live cd with the commands "SUDO APT-GET REMOVE Compiz Compiz-Core" allready invoked [02:43] i just downloaded a possibly corrupted file, that could not be verified with the apt key. does this mean it could contain a threat? [02:43] program rather [02:44] y0loek. what did you download? [02:44] hello world [02:44] BrandonB: we will already have a WebKit browser in about 6 months' time [02:44] what's the command for editing startup services? [02:44] its an obscure program [02:44] Thanks vovk I appreciate it. [02:44] quaal: you still there [02:44] hunt577, i'm sorry i couldn't help more :( [02:45] y0loek: you need to add the repository key to apt [02:45] y0loek, yes, the writer of the program will usually provide you with one [02:45] bruce89, i did [02:45] y0loek: where is this from [02:45] how can I use the live cd with the commands "SUDO APT-GET REMOVE Compiz Compiz-Core" allready invoked [02:45] Also, is there a known issue with ubuntu 8.10 and not being able to create static ip addresses? [02:45] y0loek, did you download it with apt? or did you download a .deb file [02:45] BrandonB: you can't [02:45] never mind, found it [02:46] the output wasnt what the website said it was supposed to be [02:46] :\ [02:46] that sucks [02:46] BrandonB, not with a liveCD anyway... you need to install [02:46] quaal: did you run the css install script. I believe it is in /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3. [02:46] .deb Vovk [02:46] that text one O.o [02:46] y0loek, what program is it? perhaps we have heard of it? [02:46] can I use an older version? [02:46] <_VIM_> BrandonB: also putting SUDO APT-GET INSTALL IN CAPS Is really a bad habit, the terminal will throw one error after another if you do that [02:46] since its an older pc the hardware should still be supported [02:47] why would the program matter? ive downloaded it in the past with no problems. [02:47] (I have a tendency to capitalize those while speaking) [02:47] need help getting widnows to see a printer on my ubuntu machine. Samba is setup, but how do I get windows to see the printer? [02:47] y0loek, you're not giving us very much information [02:47] y0loek, the best we can do is say that if you don't trust what you're doing, then don't do it :P [02:47] anyone knows of a USB phone that works on ubuntu? [02:48] what do i do now that this questionable program is on my system? [02:48] <_VIM_> magicjack maybe [02:48] makanan [02:48] Kill it [02:48] hello anyone can help me to use blender? [02:48] y0loek, you just told us that you have a random package that you can't verify and that could be corrupt. I suggest rm :P [02:48] <_VIM_> alhope: that's not on topic for here :) [02:48] Orlon... look for kernel.org.. [02:49] ^O^ [02:49] Rodrigotr_LOPes, thanks [02:49] hey, I have that stupid Orca screen magnifier up on the top panel in Gnome. How do I get rid of it? [02:49] hmmmm I can uninstall alot of thingsO.o [02:49] alhope.... what you need make in blender??? [02:49] Vovk what if there are system files it installed that i dont know about [02:49] BrandonB, it's linux. you can uninstall everything [02:49] So when i install drivers on my PC downstairs it doesnt output video on reboot. Same for XP and ubuntu. I used grub to boot into recovery mode. How do I disable the proprietary video drivers now from the command line so they will be deactivated next boot? [02:50] :D I love this OS [02:50] y0loek, did you run it's installer? what output did you get [02:50] * BrandonB uninstalls Windows === root is now known as vin [02:50] BrandonB, that's not an invitation to go removing EVERYTHING without understanding what it does [02:50] :D [02:50] I know [02:50] But I can get rid of the stuff included and custoomize it beyond my wildest dreams [02:50] BrandonB, that's the idea! [02:50] Anyone know how to remove the Orca button from the top panel in Gnome? [02:51] i got an output that was contradictory to what the website said it was supposed to be [02:51] jhk [02:51] kkk [02:51] :D [02:51] System>Preferences>Main menu TheFunkbomb [02:51] Thanks Vovk [02:51] BrandonB, you just discovered ubuntu? [02:52] Yes [02:52] Today like [02:52] ^-^ [02:52] I tried for about a week to get it running [02:52] TheFunkbomb, click the right button in icon and chose "remove of the panel" [02:52] heh, I discovered it about a week ago :D [02:52] But today it finnaly worked [02:52] meh... I don't think my JACK problem will every get solved [02:52] I'm a newer ,and study Civil Engineering,i want to know how to dew in UNBUNTU [02:52] Rodrigotr_LOPes, right clicking does nothing [02:52] awesome OS, will not get back to vista, never! [02:52] ever* [02:52] and Im 14 ^-^ so im proud of even installing it [02:52] 4.5 years ago for me [02:52] haha [02:52] my first was feisty... i got it the day it came out :D [02:53] left click make what... and double click make what..??? [02:53] anyway, newbs. You may want to keep a windows partition around for programs that you absolutely need [02:53] I am ;) [02:53] I know my calc class uses a windows only (wine is not an option) viewer for online sessions [02:53] Cause WINE would kill me [02:53] Vovk, yea I have windows partition but havent really used it since installing ubuntu [02:53] why they do, i'll never know [02:53] I've found alternatives for everything I need [02:53] any latest news from ubuntu [02:53] BrandonB, wine is pretty simple [02:53] Jufis, isn't it awesome when that happens :D [02:54] :s its its own worst enemy [02:54] i got an output that was contradictory to what the website said it was supposed to be, Vovk [02:54] According to everyone ive taled to [02:54] Vovk, you mean finding free alternatives for commercial windows apps? [02:54] y0loek, so. you downloaded this deb file, you ran it with dpkg or whatever and it failed installing? or did you get the program running and it gave you bad output [02:55] Jufis, yah :) [02:55] TheFunkbomb, try to System > preferences >sessions.. and look for "orca"... and disable the program... [02:55] it's like free beer [02:55] and speech at the same time! [02:55] yeah! [02:55] unfortunately [02:55] i still can't get this damn JACK server running... we need someone who knows audio routing to log in! [02:56] Neato, so here's the output that I think is causing the kernel panic that i'm getting [02:56] I hope someone will help you :) I'm off to sleep now, gnight guys -> [02:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/128579/ [02:58] sounds like its a problem with the driver for my ethernet port?

[02:58] y0loek: a link to this package would be useful [02:58] hi [02:59] methinks the mods are dodging my question [02:59] skel- can u message me [02:59] y0loek: if your asking that question the anwser is pretty obvious which is Yes [03:00] y0loek: we have channel operators, not "mods". But, this channel has many volunteers to answer questions. The vast majority of answers do not come from ops, but from these volunteers.

[03:33] Karlos, why don't you read a tutorial on google. === clay_ is now known as clayg [03:33] bohemian_: this error usually means you are trying to overwrite a binary that is in use [03:33] khaije1: root@user:~/Desktop/TouchKit# sudo cp tpaneld /usr/bin [03:34] Huh, how safe is LVPM [03:34] cause i read it but i cannot to an airplane when y minimize [03:34] what is a good terminal for connecting to bbs's? something with a black background that makes the ansi's look better?

I haven't heard of them in years.. dialup? or online? [03:35] clayg: why? [03:35] scunizi, online [03:35] Alex_21 cfdisk, fdisk, parted [03:35] bohemian_: that doesn't mean it isn't in use in some way, type: lsof | grep -i tpaneld [03:35] Needing some quick help on piping a terminal command am entering into a file.. something like "echo hello world! | >~/test.txt" [03:35] any results? [03:35] Ok [03:35] Thanks [03:36] clayg: are they still text based? [03:36] Its for transferring Wubi to its own partition and making it a "real" install. Unfortunatly, I cant intall Ubuntu on this PC any other way than Wubi (so far) [03:36] gegemaw: drop the | [03:36] gegemaw echo "some stuff" >> path/file [03:36] gegemaw, try "echo hello world | tee test.txt" [03:36] Thanks all :) [03:36] #ubuntu [03:36] clayg: well... elinks is a terminal browser..

[03:37] *terminal based browser [03:37] As always >.> [03:37] <.< [03:37] gegemaw: also i think 'echo "hello world" | cat >> ~/somefile' works as well, no? [03:37] khaije1: http://pastebin.com/m1e54c02c [03:37] scunizi, trying [03:38] hmm.. [03:38] guess everyone is afraid [03:38] bohemian_: right, the process is already running, type: stat /usr/bin/tpaneld [03:38] clayg lynx, links, links2 as well [03:38] sounds like it's already there [03:38] brb [03:38] trino, for telnet? [03:39] do I need to install some kind of vnc server to be able to use vnc to connect to the computer from another? [03:39] !vnc [03:39] 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 [03:39] khaije1: http://pastebin.com/d636d [03:39] im having a prob changing the ownership on a partion [03:40] clayg: do you need a telnet program? [03:40] bruce89: ok cool thanks. So at home vnc would be best and if im at work or school FreeNX would be better? [03:40] Billy, need more specific to help :p [03:40] ScottG489: never heard of FreeNX actually [03:40] khaije1: nah...the cat command after the piper gives a "Broken Piper" error.... but the others have wroked... special echo "text" >> file... as it appends a new line [03:40] ScottG489, I use VNC all the time - tightvnc actually. [03:40] bruce89: yea neither have I thats why i asked [03:41] RussM_: How is that different? [03:41] clayg: qterm is a bbs client for x windows & supports telnet and ssh1 [03:41] according to synaptic. [03:41] clayg, have you tried pcmanx-gtk2 which according it the repo description is "user-friendly telnet client mainly targets BBS users", i've never tried it myself. I did play with some telnet bbs a while back, think it was under FreeBSD and remember the problem with installing the actual DOS Ansi font into X before things started to really render properly (I mean the ANSI) [03:41] scunizi, ZyktoicK9 trying both! thanks [03:41] ScottG489, tightvnc just adds some compression for use on slower connections - I think some of the other VNC servers have that now, too. [03:42] the partion is in ownership of the root when i try to run sudo chown -R william:william /media/disk [03:42] it tells me not permitted [03:42] ScottG489: anyway, System>Preferences>Remote Desktop or something like that [03:42] RussM_: Ah ok. seems like that would be more of some kind of setting instead of a whole different program [03:42] khaije1: does that mean i'm done in step 3? [03:42] ScottG489, tightvnc's server also sets up a mini http server and serves out a java applet viewer, in case you are connecting in from somewhere that doesn't have a vnc client handy. [03:43] bruce89: ooh oh yea. ill give that a shot [03:43] Billy, whats it say? [03:43] scunizi, qterm is looking pretty sweet [03:43] does gimp have arial? [03:43] jepp, install msfonts? [03:43] RussM_: Huh thats pretty cool. I think I might give that a shot since I don't really use my PC downstairs as much [03:43] clayg: cool.. never used it myself.. where do you find bbs listings? and what are they used for these days [03:43] !info msttcorefonts [03:43] msttcorefonts (source: msttcorefonts): Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 2.5 (intrepid), package size 30 kB, installed size 188 kB [03:44] fearful [03:44] no [03:44] where do i get this [03:44] !msttcorefonts | jepp [03:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about msttcorefonts [03:44] somehow i am controling my mouse with my numpad soeone knows how to stop this [03:44] jepp, well read ubottu a line up :p [03:44] scunizi, just got bored and searched "telnet bbs list" got a text file i can send to you if you want, sposed to be current as of this month, [03:44] ScottG489, There are some other differences, too. Some of the VNC servers serve out your main desktop (the one you can see when you're sitting at the console). TightVNC serves out a separate X session. I like that, but your preferences may be different. [03:45] clayg: thanks.. I'll search.. dcc doesn't work behind my firewall. [03:45] http://www.telnetbbsguide.com/ [03:45] I have ubuntu installed and I want to extend a second monitor. Currently, the second monitor is being extended as the primary desktop. Is there any way to force my laptop screen to be the primary desktop and have the attached moitor become an extention of that? or can I simply run two desktops, one for each monitor? [03:45] scunizi, that is where i found it [03:45] ZyktoicK9, pcman x frooze on em [03:45] clayg: got it.listing of 400+ [03:46] scunizi yeah some of those are decent, or decent looking [03:46] clayg and which terminal will it be now? [03:46] it runs though all the files and on ever one of the files it says"chown: changing ownership of `/home/william/BACKUP/Music song files': Operation not permitted [03:46] chown: changing ownership of `/home/william/BACKUP': Operation not permitted [03:46] " [03:46] eclipse__, what is your video drive???sis ati, nvidia??? [03:46] clayg, as i said, i've never used it before, i did just install both it and qterm - looks like qterm might be a big more polished [03:46] sny ideas [03:46] RussM_: What are the benefits and disadvantages of it serving out a separate X session? [03:46] Rodrigotr_LOPes : Intel [03:47] !sudi | Billy [03:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about sudi [03:47] !sudo | Billy [03:47] Billy: 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] Billy: sudo chown [03:47] all y'all some busters! [03:47] why would gnome lock up with my xorg settings and kde doesnt [03:47] !ubottu [03:47] 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 [03:47] ScottG489-> Freenx requires a secure link, so it is pretty secure to use assuming you trust ssh, and Freenx is fast [03:48] i did use sudo chown [03:48] ZyktoicK9, it does but try going to do a diff bbs , it messed up on a diff one :( [03:48] sorry.. dont now intel graphic card...btw.. many times.. you need to edit /etc/ [03:48] ZyktoicK9, maybe i need to set my modem to 8n1 [03:48] :) [03:48] eclipse__, many time you need edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:48] clayg, 8bit no partity that oldschool :) [03:49] RussM_: When I go to Applications > Internet > Terminal Server Client and try to select VNC as the protocol its greyed out. Whats up with this? [03:49] Rodrigotr_LOPes I've tried editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf .. you happen to have any good documentation for xorg.conf? [03:49] ScottG489, Well, for one, I can set it to whatever size makes sense for the client end, rather than scrolling around (my home desktop is 2880x900, at work I'm lucky if I have 1280x1024!) [03:49] hey [03:49] !xorg [03:49] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [03:49] yes.. [03:50] RussM_: yikes, that's a bit too widescreen [03:50] sudo chown -R william:william /home/william/BACKUP thats the cmand right [03:50] RussM_: Wow thats a really fucking weird widescreen [03:50] a while ago on Dapper, I used Jinzora to stream music from my Linux box over the web to access my collection from work...are there other "better"alternatives someone can recommend? [03:50] !ohwy [03:50] ScottG489: language, please [03:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about ohwy [03:50] !ohmy [03:50] 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. [03:50] eclipse__, in console type "man Xorg" [03:50] sorry :/ [03:50] bruce89, Dual 1440 by 900 monitors. [03:50] hey guys why is it ever time i run a program that uses a little cpu or run a game ubuntu just closes it? [03:50] ah [03:50] Billy, yes thats correct [03:51] ScottG489, But really, the main reason is that I tend to leave stuff running on the desktops that are relevant to what I am doing at the time. [03:51] Brando753, what game??? [03:51] got to be a way to get rid of that chinese text, looking like line noise on the screen [03:51] * bruce89 reminds people that here in Scotland, the culture is swearing [03:51] any, wheneve ri run a program that uses a lot of cpu the screen just closes on me [03:51] I [03:52] bruce89: the culture in this channel is not [03:52] RussM_: Yea so do I, which is why i really wish hibernate would work on my laptop [03:52] what folder can I find the firefox program itself [03:52] tritium i think he knows that.. .he is the one that did !ohmy [03:52] bohemian_: probably... there isa file there with that name that was being run [03:52] i wish suspend would work on my laptop [03:52] way to suck out the fun of my pathetic joke [03:52] bohemian_: type: ps aux | grep -i tpaneld [03:53] Brando753, do you can display your computar specifications and games you want run??? [03:53] ScottG489, I haven't really tried hibernate - the one laptop I have running Ubuntu (Xubuntu, really) just stays running 24x7. [03:53] tch [03:53] RussM_: But wait, how is that different from any other vnc program? Don't they all just connect to your computer and let you do w/e and then just cut the connection and your computer just sits there as you left it? [03:53] khaije1: http://pastebin.com/d7e9272fb [03:54] when is it going to be a good idea to purchase ATI gfx cards? are they going to release decent or fix their current drivers any time soon? [03:54] RussM_: I mostly had experience with LogMeIn (its not that fast but its useable almost anywhere) [03:54] bohemian_: ya so you can see it there more clearly, it's already running as root [03:54] its a hp pavilion dv5 laptop, dualboots vista/ububtu and has 4 gig memory 250 gb hard drive standard video card, and just games and programs (things in wine, Planeshift, ALIEN ARENA, etc...) [03:54] khaije1: i tried to skip that part assuming it's installed i'm now in step 5 and trying /dev/usb/tkpanel0 but i get No such file or directory [03:54] Hey all... I'm trying to set up a Ubuntu PC to authenticate against an LDAP server, but after following a tutorial explaining how to do this, it does not appear to work. What log file can I look in, or what commend can I run, to check whether it is in fact binding against the LDAP server? [03:55] On Ubuntu, Thunderbird doesn't take into account a config of Thunderbird made on CentOS [03:55] billybigrigger, even Cannonical has asked ATI for better driver - I wouldn't hold my breath... [03:55] why ? [03:55] bah [03:55] bohemian_: have you done the chmod step in 3 ? [03:55] ati cards are so cheap $$$ [03:55] simple programs work fine things that take a lot of cpu just close [03:55] khaije1: yes [03:55] i need something better than this onboard geforce 7025 but bah nvidia is $$$$$$$ expensive! [03:55] command is accepted but no confirmation message [03:56] bohemian_: In linux, no news is good news. You'll get error/warning messages, but if something just does what you tell it to without saying anything, thats a success. [03:56] ScottG489, w/ TightVNC, you just run the server, give it a display number, optionally some geometry, and it starts up another X session. You can't see it, since it doesn't really exist on any real display anywhere. Then from outside, you connect in with a viewer, and it sends you the display. [03:56] billybigrigger, 7025 can't be too bad. what are you trying to run that slow? compiz or games? [03:56] bohemian_: mkay, and for step 4 you should have only done 4.2, not 4.1, right? [03:57] billybigrigger: nothing really wrong with the 7025 unless you're having driver issues. [03:57] ZyktoicK9, i want a new 22" widescreen lcd and this doesnt have onboard dvi [03:57] !bored [03:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about bored [03:57] khaije1: lol, good to know that. yes 4.2 [03:57] zykes-, any games are pretty gay with this card [03:57] bombshelter13_ netstat -l -p [03:57] Flannel: ignorance may be bliss, but in unix $? is result [03:57] does anyone know a way to dim the desktop? [03:57] billybigrigger, ahhh that explains it - kinda surprised gaming is so poor... [03:57] khaije1: Hmm? [03:57] ZyktoicK9, im buying another monitor, and i need dual dvi [03:57] kriskiolt: fn + down [03:57] no function key.. [03:58] ScottG489, With some of the other VNC servers, they just serve out your main display - so when you connect in from outside, you see exactly what is visible on your monitor. [03:58] not a laptop [03:58] '$?' contains the exit code of the previously run command so you can tell if it exited cleanly without any stdout [03:58] khaije1: If you're referring to the prompt, that's the shell, not the program. [03:58] kriscolt do you have compiz? [03:58] ZyktoicK9, well, railroad tycoon 3 runs...red alert 3, supreme comander dont, they new tom clancy hawx demo doesnt...i have amd x2 5000 oc'd to 2.9ghz with 2gb ram so i shouid be ok there...onboard gfx = no good for gaming, no matter what onboard chip you have [03:59] nope [03:59] can't run it [03:59] old machine [03:59] RussM_: Oh so it kinda creates a new window session for just the remote connection? [03:59] how can you create a virtual server on ubuntu? [03:59] bohemian_: so you skipped 4.1? because if not you should go back and undo it by removing the xf86touchKit.so [03:59] is there an easy way to reinstall ubuntu? [03:59] Brando753, what kind of virtual server? [04:00] RussM_: I kinda think I would want the same session to be for when im at it physically and remotely so that I can pick up where i left off when I get home [04:00] khaije1: yes i skipped 4.1 [04:00] pl, put your cd in and reboot [04:00] ScottG489, Yup. For comparison between some of the various remote desktop options: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_remote_desktop_software === nathan_ is now known as Naynay [04:00] billybigrigger, ya i got a 8800 GT which drives dual monitors - it's pretty sweet. i can pretty run most games flat out. gaming and multimonitor is a pain though :( Savage 2 has a native 64bit linux version and even played perfectly with the dual monitors [04:00] ScottG489, Well, there's no reason you can run the viewer pointing locally. [04:00] khaije1: nice [04:01] bohemian_: k, sorry, what step you on now? [04:01] RussM_: What do you mean? [04:01] eclipse__: that looks like this, on both machines... http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2be2cd56 Any particular ports I am looking for? I see slapd, I'm not sure what else is relevant. [04:01] RussM_: oh did you mean "cant" ? [04:01] ZyktoicK9, some guy on craigslist here in calgary has an 8800 gts for sale, $140 canadian i think [04:01] kriscolt LCD monitor? [04:01] ScottG489, Yeah, sorry. [04:02] RussM_: Np. yea thats true. and it wouldnt be any slower? [04:02] thank you fearful, you hint helped me [04:02] ZyktoicK9, i think im gonna go with a 9600 or 9800 depends how much i feel like spending that day, im cheap and havent weighed out the options of going with a 9800 [04:02] * khaije1 is making soup [04:02] a local web server (intranet) to test my sites out \ === eric is now known as talntid [04:02] !ot [04:02] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:02] !soup [04:02] billybigrigger, bet you could be an ATI for a lot less -- joking of course [04:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about soup [04:02] jepp, your welcome [04:02] RussM_: I really cant see a reason why I would be doing anything different on my computer if I was at home or away. I'd mostly be doing the same thing [04:02] heheh [04:02] ScottG489, well, yeah, it would be slower (and there's no 3D graphics acceleration or anything. [04:03] RussM_: Oh, ehh. Well I'll look in to it. Im installing a ton of packages on my PC downstairs including ssh and the vnc 4 server [04:03] eclipse__: it's an old iMac g4, the kind that has that swivel monitor on top of the half-dome base [04:03] ZyktoicK9, i havent owned an ati card for years...last one came in my old laptop x600 i think [04:03] do someone know how to invert colours in gimp? i don't mean black/white into white/black but for example orange/yellow in yellow/orrange... [04:04] jepp: that's not inverting [04:04] bruce89, what is that [04:04] RussM_: One question before I leave. If I have 2 computers on my network in which I have an ssh server for, how do I designate which one I want to connect to when im connecting externally? [04:04] jepp: but there's something called colour rotate in the colour menu [04:04] jepp: Filters > colors > Map > Color Exchange [04:04] zykes-, and before that it was years before, i dont like ati, but for windows platforms, they're cheap and the way to go i think [04:04] ScottG489, You have a router / firewall? [04:04] hey, my firefox wont start up because of error saying that its already running but not responding. i tried restarting but it just keeps popping up. i want to know how to kill its process to be able to use it again. [04:05] mezy, sudo killall firefox [04:05] i'm looking for a software solution, other than compiz in order to dim the display [04:05] ZyktoicK9, so if you dont play savage2 on your 8800 what do you play? and native or in wine? [04:05] ScottG489: port forward the correct computer on your router [04:05] how can i get my time to go ahead an hour [04:05] RussM_: Yes I have a router and I think it forwards ssh to my server right now [04:05] mezy: sudo killall -9 firefox [04:05] bruce89, can you tell me exactly the menu? [04:05] ScottG489, You can forward one port to one computer, and a different port to another computer, if you want. [04:05] kitche: There isnt 1 correct computer. Theres 2. My server and my desktop PC [04:05] coreyman: Is your timezone set up properly? [04:05] mezy, open a terminal then type sudo killall firefox [04:05] kriscolt: right click on one of your panels and add to panel brightness applet [04:05] flannel yes, gmt-6, but time has moved forward an hour this morning at 2 am [04:05] RussM_: Well I thought there were certain ports for certain protocols and 22 is for ssh [04:06] jepp: Colours>Map>various things there [04:06] Flannel, there is no color exchange filter [04:06] coreyman: Right, but Linux handles DST just fine. [04:06] a [04:06] mezy, or what bruce89 said [04:06] ScottG489, That's the default, but you can use practically any port you want (as long as your ISP doesn't block it) [04:06] well it hasnt [04:06] coreyman: Are you sure you're set up in the right country/etc? [04:06] fearful: it didn't work [04:06] flannel im not a retard.

Thanks a ton [04:06] khaije1: i'm now in step 5 and trying /dev/usb/tkpanel0 but i get "No such file or directory" [04:06] hey everyone [04:06] eclips: that only works with laptop monitors [04:06] coreyman: I never said you were. But GMT-6 could be a few places. [04:06] ScottG489: and your point? like I said port forward the correct IP in your router you can always ssh in on one computer then ssh in to your other computer using the one connection [04:06] ScottG489, I tend to connect to one computer... then set the tunnels to point to the others. [04:07] mezy: which GIMP version is this? [04:07] flannel i tried the closest one on the map, and then i tried "use local timezone" [04:07] hello [04:07] billybigrigger, i'm pretty much exclusivly a FPS guy: Quake 4, Doom 3, UT2004, i did have a cool MedalofHonour(i think) game running under wine that required DX10, that was fun to get running. [04:07] kitche: oh yea thats true i can do that...might kinda get confusing but yea. ok thanks [04:07] coreyman: Is this computer only Linux? or do you dual boot with windows?

[04:07] . [04:08] . [04:08] jepp: that's where it is in GIMP 2.6.x [04:08] bruce89: isn't GIMP an image editor? [04:08] ZyktoicK9, so you run all games in wine? good i was thinking my gaming performace was due to wine, was thinking of going with cedega or transgaming or whatever but ill stick with wine [04:08] yes [04:08] billybigrigger, no wine at all [04:08] quick question, whats the purpose of the gnome-core-devel package, i installed it for working with gtk but I also want to know what else it installed [04:08] bruce89, I have 2.6.4. what filter are you using exactly? [04:08] flannel i found a timzone that works i guess. [04:08] ZyktoicK9, native only? [04:08] flannel ... lol [04:08] filter>map>?

[04:10] billybigrigger: both of those actually use wine (they are just configurations that install fixes) for the games Cedega - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [04:10] kriscolt echo -n 100 > /proc/acpi/video/......./brightness [04:10] ulamSpiral: a load of stuff you don't need [04:10] scunizi i think you may be right, but i never remember being anything different than -6, doesn't everyones time change. [04:10] I'd like to configure Nvidia TwinView Dual Monitor setup, so both monitors act as one single screen. Example: the Menu bar would reach across both screens from side-to-side. Why: would like compiz's cube to be a single cube instead of 2 individual cubes. I did see this on my desktop once, but it was due to a miss configuration - so it can be done. [04:11] ulamSpiral: apt-cache depends gnome-core-devel [04:11] billybigrigger: even crossover installs a version of wine that it works well with. [04:11] coreyman: around the world? no.. [04:11] khaije1: i'm not sure if this is usb as it's preconfigured. i try restarting if it will help [04:11] scunizi oh. [04:11] scunizi why not.

[04:22] color exchange doesn't work as similiar as inverting tool on gimp. i can't really change two colors. can someone help? [04:22] jepp: you want to change yellow to orange? [04:22] and orange to yellow [04:23] ah [04:25] I got a problem with gdebi installer. It crashes my pc beyond repair. I have to restart it [04:25] Hello Guys, I found out that the only way my new Asus laptop is going to dual boot Vista (ugh) and Ubuntu is if I change the bios settings from 'enhanced' to 'compatible' with my CD/DVD drive. Every time I tried it in its 'enhanced' mode the drive would lock up as soon as I tried to run anything from it, so the reason for me to change is documented and there's no need to dwell on that point. The question I have is, will I lose very much [04:25] productivity with the drive when I switch to the compatible mode? I will need to make the setting change and then reinstall Vista, so I'd rather ask questions before I make so many changes. I don;t think it will make that much difference, but I'd like to get some opinions. [04:25] What does indexing actually do? [04:25] I think there might be a problem with authentication since that always happen after I enter my user password [04:27] jepp: try rotate colours, but I can't think how to swap both directions [04:29] bruce89, but i can't choose the exact colour [04:29] I can't type in any hex/rgb color codes [04:30] . [04:30] you could try changing yellow to some other colour, then orange to yellow, then the other colour to orange [04:31] use the colour select tool [04:31] RPS, i've never heard of "enhanced" and "compatible" mode for an optical drive before, I don't even know what it could be referring too, but how often to you actually use your CD/DVD drive anyways? I don't think performance will be a big issue.

[04:43] ZyktoicK9, yes after I talked with the Asus tech ...he knew exactly about this issue [04:43] heftycat_:that is a custom theme, idk :( [04:44] draeday: if you installed virtualbox-ose from the repos that's you're problem.. you need to download the version direclty from vbox.

[05:29] omg [05:29] sanjud: Thank you! got it working [05:29] p1oooop: gksudo screem [05:29] some tool called testdisk just miraculously told me my ntfs sectors were wrong and said "ok, i fix that" and now everything works [05:29] IC, but what about the file browser? [05:30] anyone know how to force powermizer to be on level 3 all the time? [05:30] ; p1oooop: in the termina gksudo screem /to/the/file [05:30] :) [05:30] good pm to all [05:31] terminal [05:31] quibbler: I know that, but what about plain adding files to the directory using the file browser? [05:31] 553 GTK packages installed [05:31] Hello. Any idea why I got this? [05:31] $ sudo mount.nfs4 emerson:/ /mnt -w -o port=2049,proto=tcp [05:31] mount.nfs4: No such device [05:31] * xybre bashes head against monitor === k is now known as Guest67983 [05:31] * p1oooop gets sad [05:32] * p1oooop once killed his ubuntu install trying to get root permissions [05:32] * p1oooop wonders why he cannot just be root himself [05:32] p1oooop: start nautilus from the terminal with gksudo nautilus [05:32] quibbler: thanks [05:33] p1oooop: Because we use sudo, for a variety of reasons. You can read about why on the following page. Also, please stop using the enter key as punctuation. [05:33] anyone.. knows .. about nfs4? All other PC connects fine (FreeBSD, Gentoo Linux) [05:33] !sudo | p1oooop [05:33] p1oooop: 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) [05:33] ubottu: thanks [05:33] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [05:33] Okay, so, is there an easy way to remove all th eGUI apps that ubuntu has automatically installed on a headless VPS? [05:34] hi [05:34] why not you guys just allow plooooop to be root? if he prefers. you can be root by "sudo passwd" and login as root as in any other system. [05:34] i downloaded driconf to get rid of screen tearing [05:34] but i can't run it because "libGL is too old" [05:34] !noroot | YuLiansu [05:34] YuLiansu: 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 ;-) [05:34] However often or always being root itself isn't good idea. [05:35] ubottu: was there really a problem? I used that way for a year or two until I got used to sudo this year. [05:35] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:35] How can I freeze a process that doesn't run in a terminal (ie. I can't use ctrl-z)? [05:36] YuLiansu: There's no real need for a root account, and enabling it does have some drawbacks (security mostly, see that wiki page). If you absolutely have to have a root terminal, you can use `sudo -i` [05:36] Flannel: wow, smart bot [05:37] Flannel: which wiki page? I didn't google it out. [05:37] YuLiansu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [05:38] Found it: kill -STOP [05:40] vladc: you must know kill -CONT before using kill -STOP. Oh you quit too soon. [05:40] khaije1: found out i'm not using usb model as said by the distro, one thing though, total noob thing question, how do i accomplish step 6? i keep getting no such file or directory [05:42] anyone know the difference between ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server? [05:43] how can i get my xorg version? [05:43] hey guys, ubuntu absolutely refuses to detect my monitor resolution. running latest update of ubuntu, using nvidia driver 177.82. tried modifing xorg and din't work. help please? [05:43] naw really... [05:43] p1oooop, server doesn't have xorg and all the bloat of the desktop [05:44] p1oooop: server has no GUI by default, and asks which servers you want to install during the install process. [05:44] When Jaunty (whatever it is) releases , will it be possible to go Hardy -> Jaunty ? [05:44] how to connect to dsl (pppoeconf) for new install? [05:44] Flannel: sounds hard :( [05:44] or is that not known at this time ? [05:44] wolter: sudo X -version [05:44] WordMoo: You'll have to go through Intrepid. [05:44] WordMoo: 8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04 [05:44] I tried pppoeconf, and rebooted, but eth0 still not configured [05:44] Flannel, 8.10 uh.. lets see how I can put it.. [05:45] Flannel, Is worthless to me [05:45] On this computer anyway [05:45] it magically works for the others [05:45] WordMoo: If you want to upgrade to 9.04, you'll have to upgrade through it, even if its only for a few minutes. [05:45] bohemian_: it sounds like these are binary calibration and testing utilities, not clear if they require root.... [05:46] how do i know if my xorg version is newer than 6.8 ? [05:46] OK, but will the issues be there? My NIC doesn't ever get an IP , and some other stuff [05:46] i have version 1.5.2... [05:46] When I arrive at 9.04 [05:46] Flannel: can you use it VIA remote control? [05:46] that is [05:46] WordMoo: You can upgrade with a CD (the alternate CD) [05:46] p1oooop: Can you use what? [05:46] Flannel, I mean , will the issues of Intrepid be there in Jaunty , or will they be fixed? [05:46] Flannel: ubuntu server edition [05:46] WordMoo: #ubuntu+1 is the place to go to ask Jaunty questions right now. I have no idea. [05:46] bohemian_: these files should be buried in the directories of the file you extracted, you can try running them as a regular user first, if they say they require root you can copy them to /usr/bin/ as root [05:47] khaije1: ok i'll try that [05:47] p1oooop: You can use it remotely, yes. Over ssh is the most popular configuration [05:47] Hrm, Perhaps staying on LTS' are a good idea. [05:47] WordMoo: Certainly nothing wrong with that. Especially if nothing in the newer versions strikes you as must-have [05:48] Flannel: so, do I have to modify anything to use it over ssh? [05:48] p1oooop: you'll have to install openssh-server, but apart from that, no. [05:48] Flannel, Any idea on a LTS release ? Perhaps after Jaunty ? [05:48] I love the ubuntu! [05:48] Flannel: thank you [05:48] I also love ubintu [05:49] *ubuntu [05:49] WordMoo: 10.04 is the next LTS [05:50] "A date has already been fixed: the next LTS (Long Term Support ) Version will be released April 2010." [05:50] khaije1: ok copied all 3 files to usr/bin/ proceeding to step 9 [05:51] WordMoo: Not only that, but in all likelyhood it'll be the 22nd [05:51] Flannel, April 22nd ? [05:51] you think I can install apache and mysql in Xubuntu? [05:51] WordMoo: at 02:17 [05:51] p1oooop: You definately can. [05:51] !lamp | p1oooop [05:51] p1oooop: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [05:51] hi all... i have a problem while watching streaming videos, in firefox... the screensaver doesnt recognize that the video is playing in fullscreen mode and gets activated every few minutes... how do i prevent this? [05:51] Flannel: awesome! [05:52] nobody has been able to tell me does fglrx work? [05:52] Does it? [05:52] macvr: turn off the screensaver [05:52] WordMoo: I believe its (as a rule of thumb, not a rule, mind you) the penultimate Thursday of the month. [05:52] I'm having toruble with Fedora and fglrx [05:52] *trouble [05:52] Like Thanksgiving ? [05:52] Lartza_: Try #fedora [05:52] lol [05:52] quibbler: othere than that could nothing be done? [05:52] marve: adjust the time [05:53] are ubuntu's *.deb files signed? or just each repository's package *list* ? [05:53] I want to know if fglrx works in ubuntu [05:53] Anyway, since I'm going to keep this version of Ubuntu . Is it possible for me to readjust the sizes of my partitions without having to do a new install ? [05:53] could it be dangerous to install xlibmesa3-gl? [05:53] since thats the next option, i dont want to try anything new, fedora is what i call new to me now [05:53] IE: I kept windows at 300 GBs [05:53] hi, I require some assistance setting up my trendnet router to an adsl modem . which would be appropiate channel/server to get help ? [05:53] khaije1: ok i got a bunch of rc.d from rc0.d to rc6.d, shall i edit everything or just 0 or 6? this is step 9 [05:53] And I'm about out of space [05:53] Dlannel: I won't ask Will fglrx work in ubuntu in #fedora... [05:54] quibbler: i know that those are the workarounds.... but is there anyway so that the gnome recongizes this? [05:54] Lartza_: An easy way to find out if it works on your hardware is to burn a liveCD and try it. [05:54] bohemian_: i don't remember where rc.local is (not in front of a unix box) ask the channel, im sure someone knows [05:54] WordMoo: You can. You'll need to boot to the liveCD and resize/move stuff with gparted [05:54] Can I install fglrx with livecd to try it? [05:54] Lartza_: yes [05:55] hmm then maybe [05:55] macvr: i'don't know..i've never had that problem [05:55] Flannel, Just go to the installer and click "manual" and resize it up how I want it, then quit the install ? [05:55] but there even is fglrx? :P [05:55] Flannel, Before I actually go to install anything ? [05:55] WordMoo: no, no. Don't start the installer at all. Go to System > Administration > Gnome PArtition MAnager [05:55] anyone knows where directory to find "rc.local" in ubuntu 8.10? [05:55] quibbler: how come? dont u use videos from the net? or are ur settings delayed? [05:55] bohemian_: if you can't find it rc.5 is a close substitue [05:56] does DVD have LIVE? [05:56] ok thanks [05:56] Oh. [05:56] Lartza_: It does. But that's 4.some odd GB vs a 700MB CD if you just want to try it out. [05:56] the cd wont fit [05:56] I want reburnable [05:56] hi [05:56] my reburnable is 650mb :S [05:57] Lartza_: You should actually be able to burn the CD to DVD media without any issues. [05:57] i wanna to create CD and DVD with DRM [05:57] Flannel, I don't see that in the installed version I have , would it be possible for me just to do it now? IE: get gparted [05:57] Flannel: I have tried it once, didn't boot from it [05:57] macvr: i look at youtube etc ...i have a blank screen after 20mins but that doesn't worry me [05:57] no duplication allowed. no copying from it allowed [05:57] burn was fine though [05:57] Lartza_: yes, the DVD has a live version. [05:57] bohemian_: rc.local is in /etc/. [05:57] quibbler: oh ok... [05:57] Hello. I need help please. There is one partition (60 GB) on my hard drive of 80 GB and some empty space (20 GB). When I create a partition on this empty 20 GB, XP Becomes unbootable and Ubuntu sees them as a whole (71.xx GB)... [05:58] WordMoo: You can't modify the partitions you're using. So while you would be able to shrink the windows partition, you would still have to use a liveCD to expand the others. [05:58] OK. [05:58] use paste.ubuntu.com [05:58] Flannel: I found you could burn cd image to dvd, in windows jsut nero and some others wont do it, but some programs convert the cd image to dvd image [05:59] WordMoo: I was under the impression that they had it installed by default, but if not, you'll simply have to install gparted on the liveCD [05:59] Flannel: But not sure will they make it bootable in the conversion... === NayMyo is now known as newbieofubuntu [05:59] rww: why i didn't saw that?? thanks [05:59] Flannel, Perhaps it's not on the installed version by default ? [06:00] WordMoo, Flannel: Gparted is on the LiveCD by default, but not on installed desktop systems. [06:00] Copy. [06:00] Flannel: Is there option to install grub from ubuntu cd/dvd? [06:00] !grub | Lartza_, first link [06:00] Lartza_, first link: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [06:00] hey, i have a problem shutting down my pc... its always restarting the pc, e.g. if i do "shutdown -h now" or via gnome-menu. any ideas? [06:00] Hello. I need help please. There is one partition (60 GB) on my hard drive of 80 GB and some empty space (20 GB). When I create a partition on this empty 20 GB, XP Becomes unbootable and Ubuntu sees them as a whole (71.xx GB)... [06:00] thanks ill remember those [06:00] well that [06:00] khaije1: moment will reboot now [06:01] RalphSpencer: Do you have Ubuntu running right now? [06:01] which is the password for a user that has no password? [06:01] Yep [06:01] Wait a sec! I have 8.04 live cd! [06:01] Aww... but.... [06:01] khaije1: moment of truth will reboot now, if this works, i should treat you for a cup of coffee :) [06:01] Is it using the newest xorg? [06:01] I dont care for windows... [06:01] wolter: There isn't one. The account is locked and you can't log into it. (root on Ubuntu, by default, is an example) [06:02] Just need ubuntu to be detecting the other partitions.. [06:02] Someone can check their xorg version in 8.04, but wait livecd wont have updates... [06:02] I cant even resize the 60 GB one [06:02] !info xorg hardy | Lartza_ [06:02] RalphSpencer: can you copy the output of "sudo fdisk -l" to http://paste.ubuntu.com/, then link the page it creates here? [06:02] xorg (source: xorg): X.Org X Window System. In component main, is optional. Version 1:7.3+10ubuntu10.2 (hardy), package size 1 kB, installed size 24 kB [06:02] Ok thanks [06:02] aww then i need 8.10 cd [06:03] since ati problems are with XOrg 7.4 [06:03] rww, so, If i samba with a user without a password, then nobody will be able to enter? [06:03] That reminds me, What are the options for the ACPI work arounds you use to start up ? --acpi=off , and what are the other 2? [06:03] (it's the only way I could get 8.04.2 (or 8.04) to boot. [06:04] wolter: By "without a password", do you mean with a blank password, or with a disabled account (i.e., one that has a password hash in /etc/shadow of * or !)? [06:04] rww, without a set password. I just created the account on users and groups and it had no password. [06:04] WordMoo: For Intrepid? [06:04] rww: The result of sudo fdisk -l is pasted here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/128620/ [06:05] IntuitiveNipple, no [06:05] wolter: Users and Groups makes you put in a password when you create the user :/ [06:05] Intrepid would boot, install, and everything. However, it (I guess) wouldn't work with my NIC [06:05] hm.. [06:05] i must've forgoten it. [06:05] WordMoo: So which release do you want the options for? [06:05] thats bad. [06:05] it means it wont fix my samba/ftp sharing. [06:06] 8.04.2 (Hardy) [06:06] WordMoo: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-hardy.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt;h=e862271ae3becfab2d7cf678b85d3a75e9ca01bc;hb=HEAD [06:07] IntuitiveNipple, I just need the options that where given in Wubi [06:07] I know there was 3 [06:07] !samba [06:07] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [06:07] hey, does anyone know anything about samba [06:07] Sir rww? [06:08] can someone help me with the group my computer is im [06:08] *in [06:08] I want it in mshome but it is in workgroup [06:08] any pppoe (dsl)howto? [06:08] WordMoo: There are *many* ACPI kernel options, so you'd need to check the Wubi docs to recall the ones you are referring to [06:08] RalphSpencer: Okay. Linux is seeing you as having two NTFS partitions. One is 72GB, and the other is 8GB. I'm guessing you also have a 2GB USB drive plugged in or something. [06:08] Yep [06:09] Yeah, its my flash drive [06:09] p1oooop: edit your smb.conf [06:09] RalphSpencer: Can you also pastebin the output of mount, please? [06:09] your will see >> workgroup = WORKGROUP, then change it [06:09] Could you give me the exact command? [06:09] matabele: where's that? [06:09] RalphSpencer: just "mount" [06:10] Oh thanks [06:10] sure [06:10] matabele: remember, I am a newb [06:10] gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf [06:10] thanks [06:11] dli: look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=239815 [06:11] Sir: The output of 'mount' is pasted here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/128622/ [06:11] p1oooop: then you will have to restart samba [06:11] IntuitiveNipple, acpi=off noapic nolapic [06:11] sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [06:11] ic [06:11] thanks [06:12] WordMoo: noapic and nolapic *are not* ACPI options, they are interrupt controller options [06:12] IntuitiveNipple, I think I had to use --acpi=off --noapic --nolapic , instead of just the acpi=off noapic nolapic [06:12] Hello [06:12] WordMoo: hence the confusion :) [06:12] * WordMoo shrugs [06:12] IntuitiveNipple, Perhaps the Wubi team should be spanked [06:13] Anyone know why xchat gives me a "null chan list" for so many servers? [06:13] p1oooop: if you get your computer connected to the network can you send me your smb.conf, mine seems to have something really wrong with it [06:13] maybe your eyes re-ordered the letters... that gets many people (apic and acpi look very alike) [06:14] RalphSpencer: Okay. So you're running off the LiveCD right now? [06:14] Yes, sir. [06:15] i dont have sound while playing through media players .....but sound works well within the browser(youtube) [06:15] Because the install of Ubuntu doesn't have Partition Editor. [06:15] RalphSpencer: Okay. And the first partition (the large one) is the one with your Windows data on it. The second one is blank? [06:15] no system sounds aswell [06:15] Yes, sir. [06:16] how do i restart sound modules alone ? [06:17] hdweyrduwey [06:17] hjfdue [06:17] khaije1: nothing yet, still no touchscreen response [06:17] h [06:17] :( [06:17] matabele: umm, I think you were mistaken on that last one, restart is not a command [06:17] heh, I just used it [06:18] RalphSpencer: Okay. Open up the Partition Editor (System > Administration > Partition Editor), make sure it says /dev/sda in the top-right, then right click on /dev/sda2 (the small partition) and click Delete. That'll get rid of the extraneous blank partition. To resize the other one, right-click on it, click "Unmount", then right-click again and choose Resize. [06:18] Please give me some time to do that, sir. [06:18] blufade: sudo alsa force-reload [06:18] rww: Would it be a good idea to confirm sda2 doesn't actually contain anything before deleting it? [06:19] IntuitiveNipple: He said it doesn't... [06:19] bohemian_: if this effort doesn't work you may want to try a new version if there is one available... btw can you pastebin the output to lspci pls? [06:19] What size should I set, sir? [06:19] p1oooop: are you sure that samba is even running? [06:19] rww: I know :) [06:20] quibbler: sudo: alsa: command not found [06:20] quibbler, not helpful, couldn't download anything without DSL first [06:20] RalphSpencer: Whatever size you'd like, as long as there's at least 5-10GB of free space left for Ubuntu. [06:20] Oh, okay.. [06:21] RalphSpencer: Anyway. Once that's resized, you should be able to install Ubuntu normally. There should be an option during install, in the partitioning step, to use free space for Ubuntu. [06:21] khaije1: http://pastebin.com/m43c3bebd [06:22] Thank you, sir, for all the help and guidance... [06:22] matabele: yes, I am [06:22] Anyone in here good at webdevelopment? [06:23] Do the latest ATi drivers (9.2) fix the Xv flicker with compiz enabled? [06:23] hi guys, I have a question regarding the netbook remix [06:23] restart is a command, but so it stop and start.. try that [06:23] mattias: I am ok [06:23] blufade: you do not have /sbin/alsa? [06:23] plooooop, great! [06:23] matabele: oh. I see what I did wrong [06:23] anyone has experienced installing from USB the remix? [06:23] Is there a way to make Ubuntu treat an internal drive like it does a USB drive. ie, automount it without me having to add lines to fstab, etc? [06:23] mattias: There's a #web channel for general web development questions... [06:23] plooop, it seems that i have a serverside problem with either my code or my code [06:24] rww, asked there already [06:24] look in the error file [06:24] no [06:24] rww, no answer tought i rather ask here. [06:24] it usually has the place of the error [06:24] anyone has installed thet netbook remix? [06:24] thats how I found my errors :D [06:24] p1oooop: can you send me your smb.conf? [06:25] matabele: no, I found the problem :D thanks [06:25] Is there a reason Ubuntu doesn't automatically mount a secondary internal drive? [06:25] khaije1: can you help me remove touchkit_drv.o based on step 4.2? i'll try to recopy it, might have copied the .so earlier [06:25] no no. my smb.conf is stuffed up and /I/ need help noe :) [06:25] I have a general question: I have lots of experience in developing server software in .Net, where zero user intervention is required. What do people typically use in linux to develop that kind of software? [06:26] now* [06:26] blufade: then ask your question again and maybe someone else can help you. [06:26] ploooop, Yes, her is the problem. Im developing a website, everything seems to be fine on any webbrowser except of IE, as you probably can imagine, but it's not a regular problem.... Except some css issues the website won't display any of the images inserted by *.php, the images is displayed properly from the css and everything looks nice from any other browser [06:26] actuallly sound will be back if i restart my computer..... [06:26] matabele: yes, now, LOL [06:26] ill try that === bAsTl is now known as bastl [06:27] plooop, It will display (in some cases) the right size of the image, but just with a border and a red X on the right end corner === bastl is now known as lcng_bastl [06:27] mattias: huh, I've had that problem [06:28] ploooop, any idéa how tow solve it ? [06:28] mat: can you see that image if you browse to is with IE directly? (not rhough webserver) [06:28] mattias: nope [06:28] hi, if my root file system is mounted read only (because an error) can i mounted as writeble? [06:28] mattias: people complain about the same thing on my site [06:28] simion314: mount -o remount,rw / [06:29] plooooop, so you think it's a clientside problem ? [06:29] p1oooop: please could you send your smb.conf? [06:29] mattias: can you save the image on your desktop locally, and then open it in IE? [06:29] matabele: ok [06:29] ploooop, it's not a small problem though, my websites concept is to show pictures [06:29] LOL, IC [06:29] zhaozhou: thx [06:30] mattias: do you happen to have the URL of a broken page for me to look at? [06:30] FrikkinLazer, Currently im not infront of a windows computer. [06:30] FrikkinLazer, Why do you ask ? I may be able to get my hands on one later on today [06:31] rww, ofcourse [06:31] mattias: Im thinking that the IE cannot open those images at all, and then it might not be a webserver problem, or a problem with your site. If you save the image locally, and IE STILL cant open it, then you know its not your server. [06:31] hi friends. I've created an alarm, but it is not going off at the set time. [06:31] Any advice? [06:32] I need it to wake up for work! [06:32] sagredo: which program did you use to create it? [06:32] rww: alarm-clock from the repos [06:33] rww: it says it's scheduled and all but alas, my selected sound file (Stereo MCs - Connected) is not playing, I tried testing it twice with future (now past) times. [06:34] khaije1: i guess i would have to use an RPM based distro :( [06:34] bai [06:35] FrikkinLazer, The strangest thing is that the images is in a jpg format, nothing "fancy" like png [06:35] It will display png thought. [06:35] FrikkinLazer, it will display png though. === root is now known as Guest44121 [06:36] bohemian_: there is also the possibility to use 'alien' to install the rpm [06:36] mattias: Okay, well, just try opening it locally. Maybe the image is using some obscure jpg feature that the library IE uses does not support or something. [06:36] dli: look here: http://www.ubuntux.org/pppoe-client & http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=82879 & http://ubuntuliving.blogspot.com/2007/02/pppoe-with-ubuntu.html [06:36] playing with it on an rpm-based distro isn't a bad idea though, if you can get it working on suse or fedora you at least know the sw works [06:37] FrikkinLazer, will try that, thnx for everything. [06:37] mattias: Hmm. It's sending content-type correctly, which was the issue when I had that problem> I'm not sure what's going on either. [06:39] rww, okej thnx for having a look... I'll let you know whenever / if i find a solution to the problem.... Hate IE, it has made the webdevelopment a pain in the ass, why do people use such a worthless software. [06:39] sagredo: Well, you're having better luck than I am with it. I just tried making an alarm and it crashed on me twice in a row :/ [06:40] Fresh 8.04 install: Error 15 [06:40] I'm live now [06:40] rww: lols [06:41] rww: shucks, I have to figure this out before I can go to sleep! [06:41] sagredo: I guess the answer is this: It doesnt work because its broken [06:41] FrikkinLazer: nice [06:41] sagredo: lol [06:41] back [06:41] FrikkinLazer, sagredo: I think the crash I'm getting is probably a bug in GTK in Jaunty. It's been happening with GIMP too. I was just explaining why I couldn't be of more help :) [06:41] sagredo: isnt there another alarm software you can use? [06:41] sorry for long . [06:41] I have Ubuntu and hopefully WIndows XP in my GRUB [06:41] FrikkinLazer: I'm sure there is [06:42] but wont get there because of Error 15 [06:42] FrikkinLazer: but I haven't found it yet :D [06:42] FrikkinLazer: let's see what google has [06:42] Does anyone have experience developing software in Linux? [06:43] GRUB won't start, Error 15 [06:44] FrikkinLazer, check the C wiki [06:45] I'll reboot quick [06:46] howto start pppoe manually? ifconfig eth0 up; pon dsl-provider [06:46] jrgp: Im actually looking for advice on what technology to use. I need to write software that opens up LOTS of tcp sockets, read stuff, write stuff, etc. Windows could not handle it, now I have to go over to Linux. (In windows it was in C#). [06:46] FrikkinLazer, C++ and sockets [06:46] there are loads of appropriate tutorials around the net [06:47] Is there a way to automount a usb drive from the terminal? (If you have unmounted it) [06:48] anyone can comment on the result of the ff alien conversion: http://pastebin.com/m443f2cdf === Relasix is now known as [Asleep] === [Asleep] is now known as Relasix [06:48] khaije1: ^ [06:49] Is there any way I can get a command-line box in the top toolbar that's always open? Or even something like OSX's Spotlight, where you can click it, and it opens real small right next to the icon? [06:49] Gosh [06:49] Still [06:49] GRUB won't start [06:50] BIOS boot's, Boot from CD: then no cd found, starts booting hd, Error 15 [06:50] Since the last update of firefox I have this weird behavior that from time to time the window of firefox is getting underneeth my menubar on top of the screen, I have this behaviour on 2 different pcs I have to hit F11 twice to solve this does anyone have a solution for this [06:50] I removed WInXP from GRUB [06:50] Wait a sec [06:51] Could I be booting from a wrong grub? Previous Fedora install? [06:51] dli_: try sudo pppoeconf in a terminal [06:52] Or something like that [06:52] rebooting now [06:53] the net has change alot [06:54] quibbler, from plog, the problem is illegal username/passwd, the provider uses encrypted username/passwd, so, you have to dialup in windows [06:56] dli_: then i'm out of ideas ask further in the room [06:56] hello, guys I tried to update my system & I got this http://fpaste.org/paste/5475 [06:56] Should I stick to 8.04? [06:56] any clues? [06:57] I'll check [06:57] NO clues sorry [06:57] *No [06:57] I first need ot install updates then pdate to 8.10? Aww... [06:57] *to *update [06:58] Lartza_, yes [06:58] Lartza_, take it an advice LTS is hell [06:58] vieq: but ati is better in this than 8.10, that woudl be the only reason to stick yet [06:58] ill just update [06:58] so umm guys, this message says "no space" while I do have space [06:58] http://fpaste.org/paste/5476 [06:59] this so strange [06:59] first i remove unneeded packages though, wont update them [06:59] what is the root password in ubuntu? [06:59] vieq: Did you install using Wubi? [06:59] Lartza_: there isn't one. Use sudo instead. [06:59] Lartza_, sudo passwd [06:59] Lartza_: there is no root password, the root account is locked. Use sudo instead. [07:00] and write your own [07:00] !noroot | vieq [07:00] vieq: 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 ;-) [07:00] vieq: No, please don't recommend that here. [07:00] k k [07:00] Since the last update of firefox I have this weird behavior that from time to time the window of firefox is getting underneeth my menubar on top of the screen, I have this behaviour on 2 different pcs I have to hit F11 twice to solve this does anyone have a solution for this [07:01] ok... [07:01] Fedora people hete sudo [07:01] *hate :) [07:01] vieq: From the look of your df output, you installed Ubuntu onto a couple of loopback files. The one mounted at / was created with 1.4GB and is, indeed, full. [07:06] Hi, I'm thinking of using Ubuntu. I used to use debian about five years ago or so. Does ubuntu include everything that Debian has? === bastl is now known as lcng_bastl [07:07] frevidar: Propably, maybe not straight from isntall [07:07] *install [07:07] And remember, Debian *.debs don't work in Ubuntu [07:07] I want to install Ubuntu primarily on a desktop machine, but I'll be doing some software development and webserving (probably just to myself though) [07:07] Will do [07:08] Easily [07:08] Yeah I wanted mine to do those things too [07:08] it works fine [07:08] frevidar: It doesn't include everything, no, but most things. [07:08] Like things for software developement you need to download after install. [07:08] i'm watching a movie with mplayer on my linux box..and would like to output the video to tv ..however, there's only the s video output and my tv is old .. is there a specific device/adapter to output video from computer to an old tv that uses the old tv connection type? [07:09] lartza: thats no problem, its a similar thing with debian [07:09] Yes, just to remind you :) [07:09] Some distros can install them at install like Fedora [07:09] on Ubuntu though you seem to be plagued with updates [07:09] on Debian it's easy to keep up to date [07:10] likeafox: what do you mean? [07:10] Lartza_: You can install them at install time with Ubuntu too, if you really want to. (I don't see a big issue with waiting though) [07:10] I seem to get updates every other day [07:10] Flannel: Well if you just do the easy install you can't [07:11] hi. i am trying to give static ip to my laptop which is running ubuntu [07:11] Fedora asks do you want programs for: "Office, Program developing, Web server" [07:11] on Debian stable though I hardly ever needed to update [07:11] it gets the ip but is unable to find any hosts. [07:11] likeafox: That's also the downside of debian [07:11] likeafox: If you just want security updates, uncheck "Recommended updates" in the Updates tab of Software Sources (Sys > Admin > Software Sources) [07:12] What useful 3rd party repos were there? [07:12] Heh I don't mind that much, just trying to illustrate a difference [07:12] Long time no see ubuntu [07:12] medibuntu is one [07:12] Then others? [07:12] paul68: are you using compiz? if so maybe turn it off and see if you have the same problem. [07:12] Somewhere I coudl get newer or more programs [07:13] ok, why does the version of firefox in intrepid have MSIE 6.0 tacked onto the end of the user agent string? [07:13] WIneHQ repo is one too [07:13] that makes no sense [07:13] others? [07:13] how much of a performance hit does guild wars take in ubuntu? [07:13] Ga_Boi: More than Windows [07:13] X.x [07:13] shear_clone: it doesn't for me :/ [07:13] Ga_Boi: Check WIneHQ AppDB and search Guild Wars [07:13] Ga_Boi: I'm not sure will it take more [07:14] rww, interesting. i wonder if this is something one of my add ons changed [07:14] Ga_Boi: Or will it even work [07:14] Ga_Boi: I recon I have read it works [07:14] I came here because I want to know how do I do administrator things that don't prompt for a password? I just get an error saying I don't have permission :S [07:15] shear_clone: you could check that by closing all open Firefox windows, then running "firefox -safe-mode" from the terminal [07:15] likeafox: sudo [07:15] so is the "universe" component of ubuntu larger than debian? [07:15] hm says it runs platinum so hopefully [07:15] from nautilus though [07:15] seeing as I can't get windows running atm. [07:15] is that what the file browser is called? [07:15] Ga_Boi: Guild Wars is Platinum yes. It shuld work perfect [07:16] !sudo | likeafox [07:16] likeafox: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [07:16] awesome [07:16] hi, how do you update your sources list for apt, aptitude, tasksel from the command line? I would like to use the DVD as a source now that I've installed from the CD. Thanks in advance [07:16] I want to use a file browser to work with files I need permission for [07:16] rww, it's the same [07:16] Ga_Boi: But if it doesn't tweak some setting of Wine [07:16] c [07:16] i can put off installing windows at least until gw2 comes out lol [07:16] CentHOGG: sudo apt-cdrom add [07:16] likeafox: you can run root nautilus from a terminal with gksudo nautilus [07:16] Flannel: thanks alot :) [07:16] what is stored in the /dev folder? [07:16] hey guys im getting "The theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme endinge is not installed" how do i find out what/where that engine is? [07:16] Ga_Boi: And set Guild Wars graphics lower for example [07:16] rww, do you know the bog standard firefox 3 user agent? i can just override the one in there. [07:17] I know that you use the folder to mount devices, but what is that folder? [07:17] Okay I'll try that [07:17] likeafox: be careful! [07:17] Dexi: Install GTK+? [07:17] i thought i did have that lol [07:17] I have a hotkey set for the hamster time tracking applet(Super+H) that does not work and I also have a keyboard shortcut(shift+capslock) set in the keyboard preferences and they both stopped working all of a sudden [07:17] Thanks for the warning [07:17] Dexi: Maybe you have GTK :) [07:17] you may be right [07:17] Search GTK from Synaptic [07:17] whats the package name for gtk_? [07:17] gtk+* [07:17] Oh also is there a shortcut to get a terminal? [07:17] Not sure, wait [07:18] lol i can search, dont bother [07:18] Ok :) [07:18] is there an easy way to do an encrypted server install? the alt cd seems to only allow a full installation... [07:18] like a fox: main menu > accessories > terminal [07:18] myron: shorter! [07:18] hmm [07:19] Dexi: What theme is it? [07:19] Lartza_: i see GTK-chtheme and gtk-qt-engine [07:19] Hi, I know this is off-topic but maybe someone in here can help me. My SCSI cable has a connector that doesn't seem to work, is it ok to skip that connector and use the next one? [07:19] Technix after five Lartza_ [07:19] likeafox: I don't know of one, but you can set up a hot key combination to open terminal fast [07:19] revertTS: Choose the "command line system" from the alternate CD initial menu (I think they moved it to a f3/f4 additional option thing dueto confusion) [07:19] FearMoth: #ubuntu-offtopic [07:19] Dexi: WHere did you get it? [07:19] but also, many of my themes give me that error [07:19] *Where [07:19] Flannel: thanks :) [07:20] Dexi: try sudo apt-get install gtk-engines gtk2-engines [07:20] Lartza_: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Technix+Ater+Five?content=100217 [07:20] likeafox: main menu > system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts [07:20] Wait a sec [07:20] likeafox: in configuration editor go to /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_terminal and give it a key [07:20] Dexi: Yea install gtk-engines and gtk2-engines [07:20] couldnt find package gtk-engine [07:20] s [07:20] That's waht I would do, but I'm not any pro [07:21] and gtk2 is already newest [07:21] shear_clone: sorry, I stepped out for a second. Mine is "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009030516 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.7" [07:21] anybody here 3dfx? [07:21] what is stored in the /dev folder? I know that you use the folder to mount devices, but what are the files that are stored in that folder? [07:21] likeafox: you can start the editor with gconf-editor [07:21] Dexi: Did you install the theme correctly? [07:21] rww, tyvm [07:21] Lartza_: it said i did [07:22] Dexi: Hmm... [07:22] are they drivers? [07:22] thanks [07:23] myron: They're not normal files. They're called "character devices" and "block devices", and are kinda like pointers to or from different parts of your computer. For example, there's /dev/sda, a pointer to your hard drive, and /dev/random, a pointer to a random number generator. [07:23] myron: They're not pointers in the same sense as Windows shortcuts or Linux symlinks, though... it's confusing to explain :/ [07:24] Dexi: Are you using 8.10? [07:24] yes [07:24] I understand now. I was just curious (if they were links) why you could not access the devices through them without mounting them [07:25] for example cd /dev/cdrom won't work until its mounted to another folder like /media/cdrom [07:25] xfce is hard for noobs [07:26] rww: is there a command to tell which device is using which link in the /dev folder? [07:26] ok im having something really weird happen, everytime i do a find -name *.avi I get this find: paths must precede expression: Scrubs - My Big Bird.avi [07:26] Dexi: I doubt but it could need gtk-qt-engine or gtk2-sharp2 === zkinion is now known as thebleh [07:26] *gtk-sharp2 === thebleh is now known as zkinion [07:26] myron: If you access the drive directly, you get the underlying data in the filesystem, which is a bunch of very complicated stuff that looks like gibberish. One of mount's jobs is to translate that gibberish into files and folders when you mount a partition. [07:26] After that I'm out of clues === mib_2yfun1a6 is now known as Tommy_nmw [07:27] myron: It depends on what sort of device, and what sort of info you want. For partitions, "sudo fdisk -l" and "mount" (without options) have the basics. [07:27] Guys, is this a problem?: when I did gksudo nautilus it told me this: ** (nautilus:25328): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Operation not supported [07:27] SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS [07:27] likeafox: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:28] I'm wondering how to write a script to copy any files matching *.avi or *.mov and so on in the entire filesystem to a specific place [07:28] CentHOGG: How? [07:28] how do i see which internetconnection is active, wired or wireless [07:28] likeafox: that should be ok, that sounds like a normal output [07:28] anyone have any clues how to get cp to work with multiple filenames and wildcards? [07:28] i mean i have them both connected, but which one is doing the transmitting [07:29] Well okay. [07:29] Lartza_: hi, like how do you check your hardware or switch a soundcard? [07:29] hullo all!! [07:29] hellmitre: You're trying to copy multiple files to a directory? [07:29] is it possible to use the encrypted installer with a different partition scheme? [07:29] yessir, rww [07:29] multiple files anywhere in the filetree [07:29] starting from root [07:29] Lartza_: it wasnt gtk-qt but im checking sharp2 right now [07:30] Does anybody know how to set up a external dvd burner in ubuntu? [07:30] blueeyez_: in theory its easy, just plug it in [07:30] got any ideas, rww? [07:30] hellmitre: cp /etc/example /home/rww/test* /foo/bar/baz /path/to/destination/directory/ [07:30] CentHOGG: Sorry haven't used Xfce much, but how can you more easily do it in Gnome? [07:30] rww: I have two cd/dvd drives, one is a cd-rw/dvd-rw and one is a cd-rw/dvd-r. I am trying to enable DMA on the dvd-rw. So I need to find out which drive is using which link in /dev [07:30] hellmitre: if one of the sources is a directory, you'll need "cp -R" instead of cp. [07:31] CentHOGG: ANd by soundcard you mean hardware or software(ALSA etc.) [07:31] Lartza_: well in gnome the controls are kinda like windows [07:31] I have plugged it in, but nothing happens [07:31] thanks very much, rww; I'm trying it now [07:31] Lartza_: in XFCE i can't find the same controls [07:31] myron: ls /dev/disk/by-path/ -la [07:31] noob [07:31] Lartza_: neither of those :P lol i may just be doomed here... [07:32] brb [07:33] rww: I'd like to achieve this essentially, if it worked: cp -r *.avi /destination/directory (and have it go through the entire filesystem copying those matching files to the destination directory) [07:33] Dexi: But your problem is easy, you should hear what I did yesterday... WIndows install, twice, Fedora install, kernelmod ati drivers then wait until evening to get help to recreate initrd and still not working :) [07:33] myron: or ls -la /dev/disk/by-id/ may be more informative [07:33] myron: How about "cat /proc/scsi/scsi"? [07:33] haha Lartza_ ive had some pretty bad problems [07:34] i installed ubuntu 6 times in 1 week before i got it right [07:34] in the process, i killed windows [07:34] how come when i click System > Administration > Users and Groups t doesnt let me create a new group (everything is dimmed)? [07:34] myron: wait, never mind, maybe not :/ [07:34] Dexi: :), i mean how hard it can be [07:34] Dexi: dpkg-reconfigure helps a lot. [07:34] Dexi: Lol? Ubuntu is easy to install :) [07:34] homeskill: click the Unlock button. [07:34] hellmitre: Oh, I see what you mean. You'll need the find command for that. [07:34] thanks [07:34] haha yes it is, but i messed stuff up post-install that was just a LOT easier to correct by reinstalling [07:35] how do I get the find command to pipe it to cp then, rww? [07:35] mmcr whats that do? [07:36] Dexi: man dpkg-reconfigure can explain with better details. [07:36] hellmitre: find / -name "*.avi" | xargs -0 cp -t /path/to/target/ [07:36] rww: you're a god [07:36] hellmitre: not sure if that'll work, but you'll need something like that. http://dmiessler.com/study/find/ has more information. [07:36] :D [07:36] perfect, that tells me what I need to know [07:37] i'm downloading a mass of updates for jaunty, and i'm about 1/2 way through. if i sleep my laptop, will the downloads resume when i wake it? or will it start them from scratch ? [07:37] also if you want to keep a file. find / -name "*.avi" > myvids.txt [07:37] hey all, any remote desktop gurus in here? lol. trying to figure out how to access my system over the net, not on the same network, can anyone help out please?? [07:37] rww: find / -name "*.avi" -print0 | xargs -0 cp -t /path/to/target/ [07:37] I was following a guide to enable DMA for one of the drives that suggested using /dev/hdd. shouldn't hdd be a hard drive? [07:37] hellmitre, you can do " find / -name *.avi >> testfile ; for i in `cat testfile`; do cp $i /path/to/dest ; done " [07:37] that should work [07:37] oh, rww already got you one [07:38] is there much difference when it comes to configuring hardware between debian and ubuntu? I haven't used linux for a good five years (as a my own desktop that is) for hardware that is maybe three years old, is it somewhat plug and play? [07:38] DaveTM: It'll resume. Packages that are downloaded but not installed will be cached and don't need to be re-downloaded. [07:38] myron: ls -la /dev/disk/by-id there you get link to what ever hd? file, or you can actually use device from there [07:39] rww: awesome, cheers! that makes me less reluctant to move the system :) [07:39] zgmf-x42s: what tool are you using ? [07:39] I'm kind tossing up between debian and ubuntu. I don't think I need the six month release cycle of ubuntu, because anything I really want bleeding edge six months is still too long anyway. [07:39] mmcr: just normal remote desktop with ubuntu 8.10 [07:40] hi , where can i find the ubuntu picture - you know, people of different ethnicities holding hands, pictured from above [07:40] actually the output told me that the cdroms were using scd0 and scd1 [07:40] frevidar: there is a difference. Easyer is in Ubuntu (it has a easy-to-use tool). [07:40] zgmf-x42s: give me one sec and I'll help you with that. [07:40] mmcr: sweet, thank you!! [07:40] thanks very much shear_clone and rww [07:40] frevidar: There are a couple of programs that I keep absolutely up to date using personal package archives. gnome-do, my torrent program, etc. [07:41] mmcr: been dieing to get itt up and running, will halp SO much [07:41] rww: personal package archives? [07:41] myron: then you just replace hd?? with sdcd0 or 1 [07:41] zgmf-x42s: You might want to take a look at nxnode, nxserver and nxclient... [07:41] rww: mainly, they'll be certain libraries and compilers I'd like to keep very up to date [07:42] frevidar: They're basically mini-repositories hosted on launchpad.net with only a couple of packages in them. https://launchpad.net/~deluge-team/+archive/ppa , for example. [07:42] At the same time you will be using vcnserver to create the :0 so you can connect. [07:42] right, but what makes the devices get attached to those links? [07:42] vncserver and nxserver work in certain way together but are different products. [07:42] hi [07:42] frevidar: You could also use one of Ubuntu's Long Term Support releases if you don't want to upgrade all the time. They're supported for three years, and there's a year or two between LTS releases. [07:43] any tip of how to change the login screen? [07:43] mmcr: yes thats what i have been reading, apparently it all comes with the ubu 8.10. i read the tutorials, and if it was on the netowrk it works like a charm, but how to do it over the net, finding a how to isnt as easy :( [07:43] lokoabreu: System > Administration > Login Window to change GDM preferences, themes, etc. Or did you mean something else?

[08:14] CoolirisFox: If you use Compiz, press Alt-F2 and type "compiz --replace", then press Run. If not, do the same, but replace "compiz" with "metacity".

[08:16] rww: is it related to installing ubuntu mobile? Default settings for Ubuntu Mobile desktops? [08:17] rww: and can it be a Xserver problem? [08:18] CoolirisFox: I'm not sure if it's an Ubuntu Mobile thing, since I haven't used that (perhaps ask in #ubuntu-mobile?). Title bar rendering isn't an Xserver task, it's a window decorator (metacity or compiz) task, so probably not. [08:19] CoolirisFox: What is the problem ? [08:19] I missed that ne. [08:19] one* [08:19] mmcr: Window title bars aren't showing up for him. [08:20] mmcr: ya after installing ubuntu mobile [08:20] What is he using ? Compiz, Metacity ? [08:20] mmrc: compiz [08:20] Ok.

[08:24] Have you tried. aptitude update && aptitude upgrade? [08:24] mmcr: nope! I will [08:24] Sometimes it happens because you have older versions of some libraries... [08:24] no one knows how to make ff scroll sensibly? this cursor default is driving me crazy.. [08:24] CoolirisFox: Let me know. [08:25] hey all [08:25] what does chmod g+rws do?

[08:28] dpkg --get-selections doesn't seem to track versions [08:28] CoolirisFox: Run aptitude update like three times and then run aptitude safe-upgrade [08:28] mmcr: ok [08:29] help please?

That should reset the clock format. [08:31] oh good call on craigslist [08:31] lol duh! [08:32] sorry guys.. but can you help me please? [08:32] CoolirisFox: Try aptitude update && aptitude upgrade for the last time. [08:32] CoolirisFox: open compiz settings manager ( in a terminal type ccsm) and put a check on windows decorations [08:32] quibbler: it's checked! [08:33] AxEl_F: okay. What's your custom format, then? [08:33] * mmcr that is why I don't like compiz. :D [08:33] devon: 1) Don't follow your questions with a string of "help me!" messages, it just clutters things up for everyone. 2) Ask in #git if you don't get an answer here. [08:33] mmcr: ;) [08:34] quibbler: ? [08:34] %d.%m.%Y. %H:%M [08:34] mmcr: I think it is related to ubuntu mobile desktop setting :( [08:34] mmcr: i agree with your assessment of compiz [08:35] well then do dpkg-reconfigure to that ubuntu modile desktop package. [08:35] mmcr: I uninstalled it [08:35] quibbler: Good. lol [08:35] CoolirisFox: Uninstalled? What? [08:35] mmc, killer deals on CL, thanks for reminding me of CL!

[08:38] mmcr: :( [08:38] VLC is deb/synaptic :/ [08:38] its open isn't it, compile it from source [08:39] CoolirisFox: Well, it depends what you prefer. Having ubuntu mobile or having compiz <--- :S [08:39] But I don't have tools [08:39] I think [08:39] mmcr: I hate this ubuntu mobile :D [08:39] Well if that is the case, go for it! [08:39] remember, use aptitude 'purge' instead of aptitude 'remove' [08:40] So you won't have junk in your computer from misc files of uninstalled apps. [08:41] mmcr: how can I be sure that ubuntu mobile desktop has been removed? [08:41] Lartza_: are you in ubuntu? [08:41] mmcr: completely ! [08:41] quibbler: Yes [08:41] Lartza_: in a terminal do: sudo apt-get install vlc [08:42] quibbler: "How would I be able to watch avi without use of synaptic?" [08:42] i meant apt and all [08:42] they are busy [08:43] CoolirisFox: By using purge :D [08:43] mmcr: ok [08:43] Is ubuntu Fiesty still supported... [08:43] Lartza_: It depends on the type of .avi. For some of them, you can just double-click. If they're using codecs that aren't in the default Ubuntu install, you have to get them from somewhere, and that somewhere is usually apt... [08:43] Ububegin: no. [08:43] Lartza_: synaptic is a package manager not a video player ...if you want to watch a video then you use a player like vlc [08:43] Ububegin: well, not officially. If you need help with upgrading it or something, we can try to help. [08:43] !players | Lartza_ [08:43] Lartza_: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [08:43] quibbler: I want some video player without synaptic taht supports avi [08:43] what is an alternative to ultra edit? [08:44] But none videoplayer of those supports avi than VLC? [08:44] withuot codecs i mean [08:44] Lartza_: thren install one such as vlc ....in a terminal do: sudo apt-get install vlc [08:44] quibbler: YOu don't get it synaptic is busy [08:44] any idea install openvz on intrepid ? [08:44] Lartza_: close synpatic [08:45] Lartza or install the codecs, or better yet both [08:45] Unable to lock the administration directory [08:45] rww: Cos when I typed apt-get update... I just keep getting this kind of errors.. http://mirror.pacific.net.au feisty/multiverse Sources 404 Not Found [08:45] *sigh* [08:45] morning :D [08:45] forget it [08:45] Hello all, I just upgraded to 8.10 and it seems it wiped out some of the files in my home directory. At the moment, the most important file I've noticed was my keypassx database. Anyway know of a way I can try to recover the lost data? [08:45] It's extremely important and would be much appreciated [08:45] Ububegin the 404 would suggest the repo is currently unavailable [08:45] i have a question! i use pidgin, a new version came out last leek, how can i update it? will it autoupdate? [08:45] Ububegin: Feisty's apt repositories got moved off of the normal mirrors. They're on http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ now. You'll need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list to reflect that. [08:46] Akiva1 use your backup set to retreaive the files. [08:46] i have pidgin starting up when i login, however it do not start minimized but always with the buddy list open... is there a way to force it to start in a minimized state [08:46] Ububegin: feisty is EOL, you need to upgrade to gutsy. Feisty hasn't had any updates in a few months now. [08:47] quibbler: try #pidgin ;) [08:47] Flannel: I have configured some software apps on this machine... and frankly speaking, I am bit apprensive to upgrade.. [08:48] i downloaded kiba-dock and when i got to applications and actually click the icon it does nothing any ideas? [08:48] Akiva1: i had some ssh and video issues after 8.04-->8.10. had to just reinstall cleanly. [08:48] Ububegin: go for 8.04 Hardy or 8.10 Ibex [08:49] david_: try starting it from term and see what messages go by [08:50] Ububegin: When you decide to upgrade, take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades . It has step by step information. That page also has the info I gave you earlier about old-releases.ubuntu.com. Since Feisty isn't getting any updates, including *security* updates, at this point, you should probably do it sooner, rather than later. === Dexi is now known as Guest28346 [08:54] hiii [08:57] * mmcr going into hibernate mode.

[09:45] I have read it was a bug [09:46] hello, I'm trying to setup SSH access from an external network. Locally it works fine, I've also successfully configured DynDNS, I've opened up the necessary ports on UFW, forwarded the ports in the router and made a port scan to verify the service is listening. But I still get a connection refused... what am I missing here? Is there a setting that is on that will only allow ssh connections from the local network ? [09:46] you know when i want a program run in the back i can use NAME_PROCESS & and i want to make it's output > /dev/null then i can use just an example rhythmbox & > /dev/null but there's still some message put on the screen [09:47] X4D: probably ssh is not installed on the target system. sudo aptitude install ssh [09:47] how can i solve this [09:47] X4D: does the dydns address resolve correctly?

[09:48] I know the SSH is listening because of the port scan, when ssh is running I receive a port open and when I stop the service the port is blocked [09:48] X4D: u are sure u have ssh on *both* sides of the connection attempt? how about your firewall. does it allow ssh? i use firehol on my server, and i need to explicitly allow ssh or any other service [09:49] X4D: i have your ip as 85.58.14.218 [09:49] thanks Flannel [09:50] ActionParsnip: give it a go on port 10022 [09:50] is octave removed from universe repos? it doesn't show up on search [09:51] i can get a login request just fine, are you doing public key encryption or just starting with basic password auth?

[11:15] Anyone a media player that supports the TSCC codec? [11:15] anyone here using ubuntu jaunty? [11:15] ActionParsnip: Yeah. I found it.. Downloading is (almost) working flawlessly. It couldn't find two files but I'll update the rest and check for them later. [11:16] okay i got the unetbootin i read the instructions but i still dont get the point.

I dont need a simple bootable live cd on flashdisk [11:16] kindly help me with my microphone .. thank you [11:16] actually kubuntu jaunty? with full updates? im not getting a background or taskbar just a black bacground and alt f2 works [11:16] which one is the correct way? ubottu , ziroday or glymph ? [11:16] Silkjc: ok restart x [11:16] Silkjc: if that doesnt work, reboot [11:16] Silkjc: did you see the kernel being compiled? [11:16] axelpaxel: trust ziroday i.e. ubottu [11:16] axelpaxel: all are :) [11:16] ActionParsnip: Do I need to nvidia-xconfig first? [11:16] heh [11:17] bz0b: there's a channel #ubuntu+1 for jaunty discussions, I gather. [11:17] ActionParsnip: I think it recompiled [11:18] Silkjc: you could run the command yes [11:18] Hmm, I get this: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [11:19] And all I see on java pages, is this gray square - I remember seeing the same, but that was with flash in Opera about a year ago [11:19] axelpaxel: have you enabled multiverse repo? === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [11:21] hi all [11:21] oCean_: Yes. I even get what version I'm using with java -version [11:21] Firefox also says java=enabled [11:21] flash is ready [11:21] could anyone tell me how to create ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg [11:21] time to reboot === jason_ is now known as Silkjc [11:22] i want to ask about my wireless..its not working since 4 days ago..how to solve it? [11:22] ActionParsnip: Still no luck, failed to load nvidia kernel module :( [11:22] axelpaxel: do you have sun-java6-jre installed as well? [11:22] axelpaxel: first see if the sun java JRE is installed: "dpkg -l |grep java" [11:22] yeah, what oCean_ said [11:22] axelpaxel: maybe another java package is installed [11:23] I installed some IcedTea plugin some days ago, does that matter? [11:23] oCean_ [11:23] axelpaxel: well, we know the sun-java6-jre works [11:23] anyone can help me how to solve my wireless? [11:24] axelpaxel: if we do it the ubuntu way, it's definitely not bloody hard :p [11:24] clarks: we would need more information in order to help [11:24] glymph, i dont know how to explain..im using acer laptop..its not working when i shut down my computer improperly.. [11:24] ActionParsnip: Could this be the cause? FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko): No such device [11:24] Hi guys, need some help with transmission and port forwarding [11:24] oCean_: Frankly, I mostly don't find Ubuntu hard at ALL, but this java-crap is really a pain in the ass, and always has been, atleast for me :p [11:25] is it working when you shut down [and startup] normally, clarks? [11:25] Silkjc: i think you have some research to do, see whats going on [11:25] it is working before i shut down..when i open it again..my wireless not working.. === JonathanS is now known as JonathanD [11:26] axelpaxel: let's try installing the sun thing ok? [11:26] clarks: you mean in general "before I shut down" or since a few days ago, clarks? [11:26] since a few days ago..its not working.. [11:27] i dont know how to fixed it.. [11:27] clarks: ok, do you see the wireless adapter if you click on the network icon near the top-right? [11:27] glymph, yeah i see..but it invisble to click.. [11:27] i mean i cant click it... [11:27] oCean_: I think I have installed the sun thing, but the IcedTea thing maybe is an issue? Conflict? I don't know, terminal says I have Sun installed: "java version "1.6.0_10" [11:28] glymph, i think it have to fixed in terminal..but i dont know how.. [11:28] axelpaxel: no conflicts, the various versions are handled through 'alternatives' method. Quite nice actually [11:28] How do I list the current processes running in the system? [11:28] Omar87: ps aux [11:28] or install htop [11:28] axelpaxel: install "galternatives" to see and/or (re)configure: "sudo apt-get install galternatives" [11:29] clarks: there are diagnostics you can do from the terminal, yes: try the command "iwlist scan", does it list your access point? [11:29] pejay: ef is the linux standard, aux is the bsd ;) [11:29] axelpaxel: that way, you can choose which is default etc. [11:29] ActionParsnip: You know i've been using linux for about 10yrs and never known that! [11:29] glymph, no scan results. [11:29] and is the wireless router working for other computers, clarks? [11:30] pejay: man ps [11:30] pejay: its the 10th or so line down [11:30] ActionParsnip: Why would I need to man it now you've told me? [11:30] glymph, yeah...its working at other computers. [11:30] It's not like I don't believe you :P [11:30] pejay: theres more info there, thats all :D [11:30] oCean_: Java6 Sun seems to be the default [11:31] Anyone help with java? [11:31] axelpaxel: ok. When i restarted the browser (firefox in my case) it worked [11:31] i installed sun's and setted it to be used, no java in firefox [11:31] clarks: does "iwconfig" list an adapter which has "wireless extensions"? [11:32] glymph, yeah it have wireless extenstion [11:33] Lartza_: is the sun plugin set to be default? Check alternatives "sudo update-alternatives --list java" for example [11:33] clarks: in that case, I can only suggest temporarily disabling WEP or WPA (i.e. security) on your wifi access point and testing the connection, assuming you're close enough to the router, other than that I don't know, sorry. [11:33] salut [11:33] glymph, how? [11:33] clarks: that depends on your router [11:33] i dont know how to do that [11:34] glymph, you know the command of "rmmod" and "modprob" [11:34] clarks: it appears that Ubuntu correctly recognises your wifi adapter, since it's listed in "iwconfig" [11:34] oCean: It is also java --version shows me it [11:35] clarks: do you get anything intelligent from: sudo iwlist scan [11:35] glymph, i think it can be fixed in terminal..i just forget the command [11:35] wait ActionParsnip [11:35] Lartza_: yeah, but diff (plugin) versions are handled through 'alternatives' method. [11:35] ActionParsnip, it say network is down. [11:35] Lartza_: check the update-alternatives. That is the actual config for the link in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin.so [11:36] ActionParsnip, can i pm u? [11:36] Lartza_: of course, you should check that link too [11:36] clarks: keep it here, you'll get more help [11:36] hi [11:36] any one there [11:36] maybe sun-java6-plugin... === elad is now known as elad` [11:37] clarks: what is the name of the network device (e.g. eth1, wlan0 etc) [11:37] could anyone tell me how to create ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg [11:37] Lartza_: ? have you run any of the commands i suggested? [11:37] ActionParsnip, wlan0 [11:37] clarks: sudo ifup wlan0 [11:38] ActionParsnip, : Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0. [11:38] oCean_: no === adiktd|1| is now known as adiktd [11:38] ActionParsnip: would you have an idea why my external monitor isn't detected in the "screen resolution" tab? [11:38] clarks: have you installed a driver for the device? [11:38] ActionParsnip, yeah... [11:38] works now with the browser plugin installed [11:39] dalfz: have you installed video drivers? [11:39] i already said..its just not working a few day when i shut down my laptop.. [11:39] clarks: try renaming /etc/network/interfaces and rebooting [11:39] ActionParsnip: yes, nvidia driver is working great on my laptop [11:39] dalfz: is it ok in: gksudo nvidia-settings [11:40] ActionParsnip, just do that in terminal [11:40] clarks: no [11:40] ActionParsnip, i dont think so like that can work.. [11:40] clarks: sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old [11:40] some helper here before..just ask me to do "rmmod" and "modprob" [11:41] i just forget how to use it [11:41] clarks: you will get a stock file when you reboot [11:41] ActionParsnip: nope, that shows only screen 0. [11:41] clarks: sudo rmmod [11:41] ActionParsnip, i just copy paste ok? [11:41] yeah.. [11:41] clarks: then sudo modprobe [11:41] but i dont know what the no [11:41] ActionParsnip, yeah like that [11:42] clarks: if you recently kernl upgraded you will need to get / compil the module for the new kernel [11:42] i used unetbootin and it created a bootable usb install disk again [11:42] i need to install ubuntu on flashdisk [11:42] ActionParsnip, so how i gonna solve it..? [11:42] can i make my self clear ? [11:42] my english is poor i'm sorry about that [11:42] ActionParsnip: I'm out of ideas, it seems the kernel isn't installing...I just tried another script (envyng) and installed 177 again..same error. #nvidia directs people here for kernel problems xD [11:42] Antor: the cd can now install to usb [11:43] Antor, you mean to say you want to do a 'normal' type install to a usb thumbdrive? [11:43] yup Dr_willis [11:43] 2 [11:43] ActionParsnip: never mind, it was disabled there! works now, thanks [11:43] ?????? [11:43] i booted from the usb a minute ago [11:43] i tried to install [11:43] dalfz: you need to run nvidia-settings with gksudo [11:43] I find the Ubuntu usb-drive installer tool for making a live-cd-persistant save - works much better. [11:43] ??????????? -*- [11:44] ??????????????????????????????????? [11:44] i dont need a live-cd on flashdisk [11:44] sion: don't [11:44] clarks: try running: history | grep modprobe [11:44] i need to install unix to flashdisk [11:44] sion: this is ubuntu support channel [11:44] --*- [11:44] clarks: it will show the last 1000 commands you typed with modprobe in [11:44] How open program? [11:45] rmmod can also do that? [11:45] sion: type its name in terminal and press enter, or click it in the ubuntu menus [11:45] clarks: do what? [11:46] ActionParsnip, the fatal module not found.. [11:46] clarks: run the command: history | grep modprobe [11:46] ActionParsnip, already.. [11:46] hey all...having a problem with flash... [11:47] I can't get this site to work...www.hypnosummit.com [11:47] clarks: that will jog your memory, if you rerun the command and it isnt found you will need to recompile it for the new kernel, or simply drop to the older kernel [11:47] just says loading...100% [11:47] ActionParsnip, yeah it isnt found... [11:47] i already rerun the command.. [11:47] think I need to go to an older version of flash...just not sure how [11:47] how to recompile? [11:48] clarks: well what is the module name? [11:48] ActionParsnip, what you mean? [11:48] Hi [11:49] How do i export my package selcteion fro my ubuntu install, and preferrably make a install cd with my preferences? I konw something like this is posible, i think i have seen it in the wiki but I cant find it again. [11:49] clarks: well I have no idea what module you are trying to install so I dont know how to compile it, if you tell me the kernel name then I have a chance [11:49] ActionParsnip, i dont know how to check it.. [11:49] !clone | benedikt_ [11:49] benedikt_: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [11:49] clarks: what command are you running to attempt a modprobe? [11:49] benedikt_: is that what you were looking for? [11:50] sudo modprobe 3945 <--u mean this? [11:50] clarks: yes, 3945 is the module name [11:50] ok.. [11:50] so how? [11:50] clarks: i had no idea it was that did I and I needed that name from you [11:51] anyone can help me? How can I revert to an older version of flash? [11:51] i only know that..maybe you know what the command to check for it [11:51] mylisto: are you on 64bit or 32bit ubuntu?

[12:43] weir: can you expand on "autodock" [12:43] i already switch it on and off [12:44] clarks: reboou and enter your systems setup. It varys wildly from system to system but its worth a check just to make sure its enabled [12:44] mark_: It's good as long as it works. When stuff doesn't work then it's a hardship, but that's common for all distros and software at large. Also #ubuntu-offtopic might be a better place for this dialog.

If my video card maxes at 512MB and I have 4GB of RAM(its not dedicated). In a virtual machine, can I allocate 512MB of Vid Mem to it? And if I do, will that reduce the Vid mem in Ubuntu or will it Keep both "machines" vid mem at 512, extracting from the sys RAM? [12:49] rabbit_ubuntu, i dont know if it would let you, but thats not a good idea [12:49] ActionParsnip: Disabling compiz did it but is this a bug? [12:49] rabbit_ubuntu: it will reduce what is available to the host [12:49] the ubuntu live cd worked well on my notebook computer (samsung q30), but after having installed it, when changing to graphics mode, the display remains black. what should i do? [12:49] lorenzosu: sounds like it, go see if you can wesearch something good and log a bug [12:49] ActionParsnip: As in it will subtract from whats left of the 4GB? [12:49] Mark_: How so? [12:50] thats actual video memory [12:50] change it below 12 and it will yell at you if its virtualbox [12:50] rabbit_ubuntu: i believe so. I dont know where the system will take its video ram from though. I'd experiment with different settings [12:50] rabbit_ubuntu, why do you need 512mb of video memory on a VM in the first place? [12:50] sopho: what video card? [12:50] infact, read this [12:50] VirtualBox technically supports guest resolutions of up to 64000 x 64000 [12:50] x 32bit which would require 16GB of VRAM. We chose the 128 MB because [12:50] some other virtualization program has the same limit. If we allow more, [12:50] some clever users would just increase it without understanding what it [12:50] actually means ("the more the better").

[13:28] jerto: needs sudo for that duder [13:28] clean install [13:28] oCean_: I removed Postgrelsql and that removed LAMP [13:28] yes, sudo... [13:28] KOUY: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded as well as verify the cd was burned ok on the first boot screen? [13:28] no [13:29] Maarek: again, details are important. What did you do to reinstall, What are the errors you see, etc [13:29] KOUY: do so so that we know the cd is good and the image you downloaded isnt damaged [13:29] KOUY: md5 checking is ESSENTIAL so that you know the disk you have in your hand is not damaged [13:29] !md5 | kouy [13:29] kouy: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [13:30] oCean_: i reinstalled LAMP, but that didn't configure php correctly. so I thought I should remove /etc/apache2. After that sudo apt-get apache2 didn't install and I was stuck w/out apache2. is there a way to install apache2 back to /etc/apach2? [13:30] KOUY: if the iso checks out, boot the cd up and the first screen will have an option to check the cd, if those both pass then we have a bigger issue [13:30] Maarek: apache is not installed in /etc/apache2. That is the directory for the configuration files for apache2 [13:30] ok, thanks a lot. [13:31] when does next version of ubuntu get released?

There must have been something else and something missing from php. [13:34] ActionParsnip: Was this your answer to the question which I put at the outset? [13:34] Maarek: I know [13:34] bullgard4: http://forums.miranda-im.org/showthread.php?t=5810&page=11 [13:35] Maarek: were you re-instaloling php to make it work? [13:35] oCean_: the reinstalls were tasksel and or apt-get [13:35] Maarek: the enabling of modules (which php is) happens in /etc/apache2 (sub) directory [13:35] bullgard4: im just trying to find out what both parts of the question are. acronyms can be misleading so please clarify them [13:35] oCean_: oh [13:35] Maarek: ok. So at this point you can redo the entire lamp install, or we can try re-install apache2 only [13:35] Maarek: and enabling php ofcourse [13:36] oCean_: are there docs on the re-enabling of those mods?

[13:53] I'd like to configure Nvidia TwinView Dual Monitor setup, so both monitors act as one single screen. Example: the Menu bar would reach across both screens from side-to-side. Why: would like compiz's cube to be a single cube instead of 2 individual cubes. I did see this on my desktop once, but it was due to a miss configuration - so it can be done. [13:53] I have a widescreen laptop, which is docked with a non wide screen display and want to have something like an icon I can click on to toggle the resolutions?

I find Alsa doesn't play nice with sharing the audio between multiple sources. Don't know any specifics for you however, I don't use amarok? Good luck. [13:55] Flynsarmy: so you have an ntfs partition in an ubuntu system which you want to share with samba? is that right? [13:55] ActionParsnip, yes [13:56] ZykoticK9: so you recommend that I use pulseaudio ? [13:56] ActionParsnip - ah Ok that looks interesting. Can I put a script on the panel with an icon?

[14:04] Gaeel: ok. Well, I'm not sure if there is an app to manipulate that specific file. Often a related file is edited, than the .db file is re-generated. Sorry, don't know the specifics. [14:04] ActionParsnip, it also set it all up. for instance i can right click on any folder - properties - sharing and enable sharing that way. It just doesn't work for NTFS drives because theyre mounted iwth root privileges because of ntfs-config [14:05] I found http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/index.html so I'm reading and learning and downloading from there [14:05] what's the best player for .rm, .ram files?

[14:29] !uuid | Flynsarmy [14:29] Flynsarmy: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [14:29] 8.10 [14:29] !blkid [14:29] i think i dont need to d/l that much ActionParsnip [14:29] because before this my wireless are ok.. [14:30] it just because i dont shut down my laptop properly..because i forget to charge my batery.. [14:30] bazhang: No. Must have missed that. Unless you do it with the check button. I have used the GUI for updating. [14:30] Pici, can u help me [14:31] clarks: you have had 3 or 4 people help you now. ndiswrapper WILL work for sure, if you get the driver and extract it then throw it at ndisgtk you will have wifi [14:31] hi guys. I'm having problems using Sabayon under 8.10. anyone else? [14:31] ActionParsnip, the problem it very hard to understand.. [14:31] bazhang: I'm puzzled by the fact that both repos points to the same file: Packages.gz. Couldn't it be that I already have it? [14:31] clarks, what is your laptop ? [14:31] if you can make it step by step i think i will.. [14:31] riwa: after editing sources.list you need to run "sudo apt-get update" - I don't know what button it is in gui [14:31] jerto, acer [14:31] ActionParsnip: ndiswrapper shouldnt need to be used at all, the 3945 driver has been part of the kernel for a long time [14:32] Pici: well its not working now and a illion folks have helped with no joy [14:32] clark, on your acer laptop, you have an icon which indicates if your wifi is on or not, right ?

I get the same error msgs. [14:33] jerto, yeah..if the wifi on..the wifi light will on.. [14:33] riwa: all apt repos have a Packages.gz file. that is by desing [14:33] erUSUL: So they're different? [14:33] arvind_khadri tnx :) [14:33] clark, the light is not lit in your case, right ? [14:33] Anybody can help? FUll screen programs mess up display [14:33] jerto, yeahhh [14:33] riwa: and in the output of 'sudo apt-get update' can you see the old-releases repos mentioned? [14:33] riwa: if the contects of the repos are different its Packages.gz files will be different afaics [14:33] desktop effects off [14:33] its not on now.. [14:34] and i have run metacity --replace [14:34] Ranakah, np , but do tell does it help you or not :) [14:34] some helper before can fixed it for me without d/l it.. [14:34] it just command .. [14:34] fixed in terminal but i forget the command.. [14:34] clarks, this means you did not activate your wifi, that's all [14:34] hi guys. I'm having problems using Sabayon under 8.10. anyone else? [14:34] jerto, i already switch it on.. [14:34] Is it possible to turn off pasting ranample ana [14:35] ActionParsnip, oCean_, KDB9000: It worked. [14:35] clarks, how did you do ? [14:35] oCean_: Yeah. They are mentioned alot. But in the end, two repos says they cannot retrieve information. What also puzzles me is that these repos are not in my sources list. [14:35] is there any other way to lock things up on gnome besides sabayon? [14:35] dom garbage when I bump the touchpad? [14:35] clarks: are you using 8.10? [14:35] emhs, so the reset worked? [14:35] yeah jtaji [14:35] erUSUL: Ok. Which means I need them to update i guess [14:35] jerto, i just switch it..and restart the laptop.. [14:35] KDB9000: It would appear to have. I'm talking to you, and not wired in this time. ;) [14:35] but now it cant be fixed [14:36] when mounting in fstab i can stick the argument uid= - thats my current users id value? how do i find that out? blkid only shows uids of drives [14:36] riwa: ok. Do "grep multiverse /etc/apt/sources.list" To see if that one repo is still active [14:36] ok clarks, when you swith it, the light is on, right ? [14:36] clarks: have you installed the linux-backports-modules-intrepid package? [14:36] hi ppl !! i would like to ssh to: server.name.com port 702 . i tried 'ssh server.name.com 702'. it gives me an error saying it can't connect at port 22. How do i ssh to another port than 22? [14:36] jtaji, i dont think so.. [14:36] emhs, well that is good. [14:36] riwa: since it needs to be commented out. [14:36] jerto, if like that i dont need help here.. [14:36] KDB9000: Both computers are happily surfing now. [14:36] divXjunk: ssh -p 702 hostname [14:36] just because the light is not on thats why im asking here.. [14:37] divXjunk: ssh server.name.com -p 702 [14:37] clarks, i just want you to confirm the light is on before reinitializing the module [14:37] Pici thanx storbeck too!! [14:37] jerto, how to confirm it? [14:37] i also dont know how to confirm it.. [14:37] clarks: what problem are you having with it? [14:37] clarks, your wifi lght is on now ? [14:37] jtaji, my wireless is not working.. [14:37] jerto, no.. [14:38] oCean_: It is commented out: ---> http://rafb.net/p/JZjHCp42.html [14:38] Full screen programs not working, what do I do? [14:38] Desktop effect off [14:38] clarks: install the package I mentioned, sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid [14:38] did metacity --replace [14:39] emhs: the power off and on? [14:39] ActionParsnip: Yep. [14:39] clarks: then restart and it should work [14:39] emhs: fixes a lot dude, its about 40% of my job rebooting stuff [14:39] ActionParsnip: Powered off, played a game of atc, powered on, connected without security, turned security on, connected with, and w1n. [14:40] emhs: especially stupid VMs that dont reboot properly [14:40] ok jtaji [14:40] wait [14:40] riwa: so they are... that's puzzling... :/ [14:40] emhs: winner [14:40] Hey guys... I've googled around. Is it possible to get photoshop cs3 with wine going? [14:40] oCean_: Yeah indeed. A restart wouldn't matter, would it? [14:41] webby, did you check appdb [14:41] !appdb | webby [14:41] webby: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [14:41] ah thank you [14:41] riwa: I don't think so. Maybe closing upgrade gui and then re-run the apt-get update (if not already done) [14:42] oCean_: Same result [14:42] webby: if push comes to shouve you can run virtualbox in seamless mode and run PSCS3 there [14:43] riwa: and in /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory ? [14:43] hi [14:43] oCean_: What about it? [14:43] riwa: well, specific repos could be mentioned there [14:43] webby, Or you could try CorssOver as well [14:43] riwa: then those are included [14:44] how can i instal all video&audio codec ? === lcng_bastl is now known as bAsTl [14:44] BABER: The easiest way is to install ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:44] riwa: it's really my final guess - then I'm out of options :/ [14:44] anybody know a good chanel to discuss hardware? [14:44] oCean_: feisty-multiverse.list [14:44] BABER: appart from what Pici said install w32codecs from medibuntu [14:44] vladuz976: ##hardware [14:44] webby: it'd be a MASSIVE bloat as youd be running windows and linux, wine i think can run it ok [14:44] webby: if with a little tweaking [14:44] !w32codecs | BABER [14:44] oCean_: Oh. You mean in that file [14:44] BABER: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [14:45] riwa: yay! That's the one [14:45] Pici: you mean #hardware? [14:45] vladuz976: No, ##hardware [14:45] riwa: the mulitverse is apparently still enabled through that file [14:45] ActionParsnip: wine doesn't actually boot windows though right? [14:45] Pici: what network is that on? [14:45] oCean_: So I comment them out right? [14:45] riwa: please try [14:45] vladuz976: This one. freenode. [14:45] Pici: thanks [14:46] webby: no, its an abstraction layer to translate windows called to linux calls [14:46] erUSUL: is your means i type apt-get install w32codecs ? [14:46] oCean_: You're a genius! Thanks a lot man!!!!! [14:46] ActionParsnip: okay that's what i thought... [14:46] BABER: after you added medibuntu to you sources [14:46] BABER: see http://www.medibuntu.org [14:46] riwa: yw! it was somewhat of a quest, though :) [14:46] BABER: and after installing ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:46] webby: vbox in seamless mode will put a start menu at the bottom of your screen [14:47] oCean_: Yeah.. Then I guess you're the knight with the golden keyboard [14:47] ActionParsnip: which method would you suggest? [14:48] vbox or wine [14:48] I'll probably need illustrator too :\ [14:48] webby: i'd suggest wine personally, if it doesnt run, vox WILL run it [14:48] riwa: :) Upgrading all the way to intrepid (?) - then you still have a long journey ahead. Good luck [14:48] oCean_: Maybe we should notify someone about this. [14:49] oCean_: Yeah, I know. But I think it'll be easier once I get to 8.04 [14:49] webby: could find native alternatives instead [14:49] riwa: If you have an account on the forums, a post there would be a good idea. [14:49] If i wanted to mount a drive in fstab with full privs, would umask be 666 or 777? [14:49] Flynsarmy: what filesystem? [14:49] Is there newer fgrlx anywhere? [14:49] jrib, its an NTFS drive i'm trying to mount [14:50] !ntfs > Flynsarmy [14:50] Flynsarmy, please see my private message [14:50] I think I do. Used ubuntu a long time ago (as you notice). I'll write a small entry [14:50] Flynsarmy: you want 000 as your umask [14:50] hi. is there any other battery management tool other than System->Preferences->Power Management? [14:50] Flynsarmy: in fstab its inverted, so a mask of 777 needs to be implemented with 000 (no idea why) [14:51] Power management thing doesnt let me choose low and critical battery levels .. and the actions to take [14:51] oCean_: Should I let it re-write the repos file or should I just undo the changes (uncommenting/commenting) [14:51] hello , any link to emesene 1.0 instead of new one 1.0.1 :S [14:51] !info emesene [14:51] emesene (source: emesene): platform independent MSN Messenger client.

Version 1.0-dist-1ubuntu0.1 (hardy), package size 1131 kB, installed size 3796 kB [14:52] seems to be 1.0 in repo [14:52] oCean_: After the update is done. [14:53] riwa: after update you'll have a sources.list specific to that distro/version. Actually that is why there is an /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory, in which one can add all custom repositories. [14:53] anyone used partimage for taking an image of ubuntu server before (with the live cd) [14:54] ActionParsnip: it is just going to gray as it crashed !! [14:54] riwa: it's up to you which repo's you want enabled. [14:54] kebomix: use killall emesene [14:55] ActionParsnip :okay i did before , but it dont work when i try to open it , i dont know wut is wrong with it ! [14:55] kebomix: is the process dead now? [14:56] ActionParsnip : yeah , every time to goes to be gray [14:56] oCean_: But it says that my repos mirror is old or internal. But it says right here to overwrite. Thanks again [14:56] kebomix: have you tried renaming its config folder, you will have to reconfigure but it may be damaged and make the app go wonky [14:57] ActionParsnip : how to do that ? [14:57] hi all, every time I boot the machine I usually issue the command "sudo hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda"... instead of doing this manually and entering the password everytime, I added "hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda" to /etc/rc.local but it isn't running the command. any ideas ? thanks [14:57] kebomix: cd ~/; ls -a [14:57] kebomix: do you see a folder name .emesene at all [14:58] why do I get 2 different versions when I type apt-cache show firefox ? [14:58] Kartagis: depends on your repos [14:58] blip-: add it to /etc/hdparm.conf, you can either add options in it's format, or if you look at the very end of that file, you can just put the command line there [14:58] is there any way to force scp to stay open(ie. preventing "stalled") [14:58] ? [14:58] blip-: see /etc/hdparm.conf === cthompson__ is now known as tyler_d [14:58] ActionParsnip : no [14:59] kebomix: you need to find out the folder or file name that emesene uses for config and rename it so that when you rerun it you get stock settings. This can fix things [15:00] anyone know the location of the fonts folder? [15:00] okay [15:00] tony426: why?

[15:08] sinnadyr: not sure what you mean [15:08] sinnadyr: oh, idk [15:08] idk? [15:08] sinnadyr: you can install packages when using livecd [15:08] sinnadyr: i don't know. haven't tried it on a live cd [15:09] djungelmums, what version of the Nvidia drivers do you want to install ? [15:09] the newest beta [15:09] jtaji: sweet, will try that [15:09] the ones in the repo didnt work too well with compiz for me [15:09] can someone tell me how to not show mounted drives on my desktop?

[17:55] hi guys. i have a little question. i have tons of files w\o extention (like .avi\.mp3). is there a tool which can identify the files and rename them with the correct extension? i know i can do it with a little script which uses "file". but maybe there is a ready-to-use solution :) [17:55] Dr_willis, i did. i keep getting errors in Ubuntu [17:55] n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/128875/ [17:55] something horrible happened to one of my computers.

Not sure. if you booted a live cd, you shiould be in a full shell. not just busybox. you could compare your /etc/ files with the defaults on another system [18:00] ok, sounds like a re-install would be simpler, but I'd love to rescue this box, just for the sake of doing it. [18:01] n2diy, i have to wonder how the stuff got messed up. filesystem check went bad? check lost+found? [18:02] Dr_willis: yes, that is the goal. I suspect an old tired hard drive?

[18:06] Dillizar, http://www.cookingwithlinux.com/content/invidious-nvidia-fx5200-installation-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron [18:07] anyone know how i can change the owner from one user to another user for all files owned by a certain user in a homedir and its subdirs (including dotfiles) but not for files owned by someone else (such as root) [18:07] travisthepirate, boot rescue mode and remove the bluetoothe service perhaps.. [18:07] kyledr, with creative use of the 'find' command is one way [18:07] how do i put the chatzilla in the firefox tabs, so i just have one window open? [18:08] I need help, I have no sound. I had sound until yesterday, everything seems like its configured properly. I can't restart right now (transcoding a dv video, will take ~4more hours). Please help. [18:08] fuzeboxsoftware, the chatzilla page suggests to NOT do that. it can cause problems [18:08] :/ [18:08] fuzeboxsoftware, read the chatzilla faq/docs - it mentions that [18:09] Didn't know that it did, actually I have just started recently using it, have always used mirc [18:09] you can get xchat, a gui program that is just like mirc [18:09] fuzeboxsoftware, take mirc.. and drag it to the trash.. and never look back :) [18:09] Dr_willis: i tried "find . -user register|xargs chown regtest" but it tells me "getting attributes of 'Custum': no such file or directory", i think it has some relative path problem [18:10] lol @ Dr_willis [18:10] kyledr, or could be spaces in filenames issue. [18:10] Nothing wrong with mirc :P [18:10] jackd: ok, I've paired them, I checked and can send files from the laptop to the phone, but not the other way. Do you have any ideas which logs might help me? I even added the phone as trusted. [18:10] I think a program crash may have killed my sound. How do I get it back without restarting. [18:10] xchat is my alternative, at least before I found chatzilla :D [18:10] chatzilla is nice but i don't see the point of slowing down firefox anymore than you have to if you have a standalone irc client... [18:11] I perfer xchat to chatzilla [18:11] * smotchkkiss creates a petition to rename ubuntu to unbuntu [18:11] nagyv: hmm. maybe you have configured somewhere that your pc should deny incoming files. but basicly if the devices are paried it should be possible to send files easily in both ways. it works here also with windows mobile 6. [18:11] fuzeboxsoftware: open/use two instances of firefox, problem solved. [18:11] Dr_willis: found a clue, /etc/group has changed, and the time jives with the problem. And the permissions changed frow 600, to 644. [18:11] * arvind_khadri thrashes the petition !!!! [18:11] n2diy, thats weird. :) but it does sound like a possible root cause. [18:12] jackd: that's strange as I've just configured the opposite :( [18:12] !upstart [18:12] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.

Could this be a problem? [18:13] arvind_khadri: what about unbuntun? [18:13] nagyv: yeah maybe. i am not sure about it because it works here out of the box. but you can try enabling them :) [18:14] hi, it seems nuts but I cant find spell configuration option in Kile, where is it?

[18:25] BIOS [18:25] wistol: you can try disconnecting the 2nd drive and seeing if it'll boot then [18:25] does any1 know how to configure the behaviour of metacity as composite-manager? i'd like to disable some effects (alt+tab with previews)?? [18:25] ive just sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart [18:26] wistol: also, during your Ubuntu install, where did you install Grub? [18:26] hello people. how can I call action from action not using redirect? [18:26] Dillizar, change ? to be k or g for kdm or gdm [18:26] Dillizar, using ? camn cause issues :) [18:26] i don't recall ever seeing it ask me where to install it [18:26] wistol: by default it likes to install on the primary (boot) hd; so that could be the source of your issues [18:26] actions are both inside one controller [18:26] I'm formatting an sdhc card for my home directory and swap space, should it be primary or logical? [18:26] malakhi, either.. i always use primary if i can [18:26] yakodzu: This is the Ubuntu support channel, are you in the right place? [18:27] when i boot from the HDD with ubuntu, i see the grub thing pop up === zero__ is now known as Zero_Burn [18:27] k Dr_willis nope not can nvidia i installed the drivers without the X and now i cant get it to work so i am trying to restart Xorg [18:27] oops ^) sorry [18:27] ok, both the swap and /home can be primary [18:27] ? [18:27] Dillizar, restarting gdm, will cause X to quit/restart - correct.. [18:27] wistol: ok, well maybe grub is installed on the 2nd drive... but normally it likes to install on the boot device unless you tell it differently. [18:27] i can also access the grub menu and i can select which ubuntu to boot, but windows isnt an option [18:27] malikyoda, yes. [18:27] Hi all, someone here knows how to fix skype on ubuntu, i got it installed, but i cant make it to work, it says that its a problem with audio playback, but the music players works and everything. [18:28] malikyoda, 4 primaries per device is the normal limit [18:28] ok if i install it on the HDD with windows will i be able to dual boot windows/ubuntu? [18:28] wistol: easy way to fix is remove secondary ( ubuntu drive ), and use windows recovery console to do a " fix /mbr " that should get your windows booting [18:28] so I'd be ok to leave them all primary [18:28] ok [18:28] how do I format an mp3 player with a vfat filesystem? help please [18:29] Dr_willis, is my xorg restarted now like it was from the beginning [18:29] muita, plug it in... rhythmbox will pick it up [18:29] wistol: I think the installer can take care of dual booting, but I'm not sure. I've never trusted it and always done everything by hand. [18:29] wistol, it should set it all up. [18:29] ok [18:29] wistol, did you install ubuntu after you installed windows? [18:30] yes i installed ubuntu after [18:30] arvind_khadri: I want to format(delete) the contents, aparently they are refusing claiming that the file system is read-only [18:30] wistol: my preferred method of things is: install XP on HD1 with no other HDs connected. install ubuntu on HD2 with no other HDs connected. use BIOS to select which HD to boot from. [18:30] hi all, i'm running into a strange problem. I'm running a bridge (two ethernet cards) and if ip_conntrack is loaded, fragments inside vlan trunks are dropped. ip_conntrack on and vlan off, everything is ok, fragemnts go properly. anyone have any ideas? i'm checking netfilter docs and cant find anything [18:30] !kernel [18:30] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [18:30] hi.

Whats happening is that grub is just passing off to the windows bootloader. Unless you have the windows bootloader installed twice, you can't have two entries.

[19:25] I try to verify the CD and it does the same thing. Just hangs on a screen that looks the same. [19:25] for some reason Geany can compile a program but then cannot run it, because it fails to open up a terminal window. Anyone have any ideas why? It works fine if I use another IDE such as code::blocks to compile and run first. [19:26] Burned the thing three times.

[19:26] pisse: you'll have to find that, seems ubuntu doesn't have it. I would have to look [19:27] Dillizar, meaning your xorg.conf has been all chopped up my guess envy look for older backups and see if you can restore to it and then manually get your drivers up. [19:27] Neffi: What step is it hanging on in init? [19:27] bigrigger: ok, I've tried to download it and get a catalog with loads of files in it.. you know where I'm supposed to put that? just anywhere and then include and link to it?

I can't even remember what it said now. I'm gonna try booting with different parameters now and if it fails again I'll write it down. [19:29] Dillizar, tw1tch suggest a solution... but it likely got you where you are now... you need to look at old xorg.conf files see what you have and revert to maybe the original when you installed. [19:29] pisse: it would need to be in your path, in /usr/include/ usually [19:30] Dillizar, one other solution is to boot the live cd and then take a snipit from that xorg.conf and apply it to yours. [19:30] tj83, where can i find the old and GOOD xorg [19:30] hi [19:30] pisse: forget the path, look in /usr/include/ your source code tells it that.

[19:32] Dillizar: not a great idea imho, but now that you've done it, we can try to make it work [19:32] tritium: well, no, they certainly update pidgin inbetween releases, because ICQ support broke last summer as well, and they updated it before 8.10 [19:32] bigrigger: yeah there are loads of stuff in there.. no gmp though. So the whole catalog "gmp-4.2.4" goes there then?

I can switch to other TTYs and use the keyboard fine, so I'm thinking it's an X server problem. Anyone know how to start debugging it? [20:00] Dr_willis can you help me with my FF woun't start problem on which I try to get an answer on this IRC for 2h now? [20:00] Dillizar: ok, how about 'sudo modprobe nvidia', then try it again? [20:00] benste, ive no idea on the fix. other then to say check the forums. [20:01] Dreamglider: safer to mv dir/ ~/safe-place before you whack the whole directory, just to be safe. make the safe-dir first [20:01] benste, and perhaps try opera till it gets fixed. [20:01] hi [20:01] Dr_willis [20:01] fuck u [20:01] nice idea [20:01] Superpig_, i've heard of having a keyboard entry in your xorg file, you may check that out. I don't know much more then that, you can also check with they people in #xubuntu for help. [20:02] brandonban6: yeah, I looked at the manpage for xorg.conf but it suggested that the system should be using 'reasonable defaults' if there's no entry for keyboard and mouse. cheers, I'll try #xubuntu then [20:02] tony426: GUI apps can lie, the terminal rarely does.

[20:06] in the long run, it'll be easier to get the stock driver working [20:06] lol [20:06] k on my way [20:06] Superpig_: I have a file called /etc/hal/fdi/policy/shmconfig.fdi in there to sort out my input.x11_options.SHMConfig option [20:07] Dr_willis: I know :) but I like the way I got it setup right now :) all I need to do is login and I know its posible... did it once before but can't remember how [20:07] bigrigger, thanks for taking the time to help me :-) trying your command I just get the search task back - there is no open FF when trying to start FF I get an errorCouldn't find compatible GRE I think it's realted to the case that my sister abborted updates during install - cause now apt woun't remove or install Xulrunner, FF ....

(If that's still the top-tier pretty-GUI) [20:44] Dacvak: you can find Beryl installation instructions on: http://www.ubuntuguide.org [20:44] Dillizar: ok, it's very hard to get the actual error from a failed nvidia startup on ubuntu, so you'll have to manually start X with startx and copy the /var/log/Xorg.0.log to your home dir so that it doesn't get overwritten [20:44] Hi al [20:44] red-lichtie: 1.9.0.7 [20:45] tgreer: hi [20:45] any help on replacing lilo with grub?? i've tired but for some reason when i reboot, lilostill comes up [20:45] red -lichtie: but libxul is 1.8.1.16 [20:45] daft question, how do you hide interfaces with NetworkManager/nm-applet?

[21:25] /j v#ubuntu+1 [21:25] !bugs | atari [21:25] atari: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [21:25] erUSL: yes clean install [21:25] just apt-get it [21:25] Las1: "all of its dependencies" would be half the system [21:25] maybeOff: do you have any suggestion for any service/application which can safely store my forum/blog/etc. accounts/passwords? [21:26] crdlb: yes, that's what I want [21:26] crdlb: I have a half-working install that failed and is now rather broken [21:26] Tonitoni: what graphic card? how you installed the graphic drivers? [21:26] Las1: I'm no apt guru :/ [21:26] k === anthonys is now known as PoetOfShadows [21:26] lol @ crdlb [21:27] erUSUL I think it's NVIDIA and they were working before. I can also see the Ubuntu symbol and the loading bar before it goes black [21:27] Dillizar: I guess you should try a reboot :/ if that doesn't work, we have to use that manual startx test I mentioned earlier [21:27] I am getting my ICQ client is too old to connect to ICQ, to upgrade pidgin. However, I don't have a new pidgin version after sudo apt-get update , do I have to download and compile it myself ? [21:27] so anyone? my internet is working considerably slower on ubnuntu then on windows. any clues pointers? [21:28] yeap crdlb lemme restart [21:28] Tonitoni: may you used envyng if that's the case you have to reinstall the drivers... but if you do not get even to safe graphics mode .... [21:28] Eh, that didn't display right for me. (Client error?) [21:28] I am getting my ICQ client is too old to connect to ICQ, to upgrade pidgin. However, I don't have a new pidgin version after sudo apt-get update , do I have to download and compile it myself ?

[21:28] hello everybody [21:28] :-| [21:28] PowerMOos: It's a known bug. There's information and a PPA with a fix at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/340075 [21:28] hello. I would like to be able to open another session of X server but everytime I try (using "startx -- :1" for instance) , my computer freezes with black screen [21:29] PowerMOos: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/340075 <<<< enable backports [21:29] !backports | PowerMOos [21:29] PowerMOos: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [21:29] erUSUL: I haven;t tried a non-graphical reboot because I am lost when I get to command line [21:29] erUSUL: Where on that bug does it say that backports fixes anything? [21:30] PowerMOos: or get it from wwww.getdeb.net [21:30] I just installed tidy,, but no shortcut was made.. how do I start it? [21:30] Hello I forgot my password in Seahorse (to decode a file, it's a pgp), is it anyway to change it or recovery it? [21:30] hey, i'm getting no volume from my mic. i've fixed skype's settings so it works ok, but i'm just getting no volume from it [21:30] rww: backports can contain a new version of pidgin with the isuue resolved [21:30] erUSUL: In this case, it doesn't. [21:31] rww: yep just checked hence the pointer to getdeb [21:31] erUSUL, isn't backports "hardy-backports" (Unsupported updates) ? [21:31] crdlb, ok lets do that [21:31] help [21:31] what do i need to do crdlb === yacc__ is now known as yacc [21:31] anyone know how to fix my mic so it actually picks up. i'm getting no volume from it at all [21:32] PowerMOos: get it from here http://www.getdeb.net/app/Pidgin [21:32] Dillizar: you know, I should just make a little script to do it [21:32] gladiator, some speedtests might seem slow because flash/java on linux can be quirky in certain situations, like 64 bit.. thats why i suggested a test with something like wget or just a fast download [21:32] erUSUL, That seems to be the only option [21:32] Master_Of_Insani: check that is enabled in alsamixer (from the commandline) [21:32] Need help fixing sound. Worked until most recent update and restart. [21:32] crdlb, now i cant run "hardware drivers" its crushing [21:33] erUSUL if I reloaded the OS using the desktop from the DVD do you think it might work? Last night it was fine until the restart [21:33] PowerMOos: either that or from one of the PPAs from the bug report. 2.5.5 isn't in the main repositories yet. [21:33] gladiator, theres nothing to really tune like there is on windows, like receive window, etc. [21:33] nibsa1242b, i only have two channels on there. master and capture. both are turned up high [21:33] erUSUL, I would need all 4 debs ? [21:33] Tonitoni: you can not boot with a previous kernel (if the update brought a new one)? [21:33] hello evryone [21:33] Mark_: let me try and do a direct download.. [21:34] erUSUL oh. I'm new to this. [21:34] PowerMOos: so it seems pidgin (566.2 kB) , pidgin-data (7.2 MB) , libpurple0 (1.5 MB) , libpurple-bin (100.2 kB) [21:34] Master_Of_Insani: move to the right with the arrow key, make sure one isn't hiding. and obvious dumb question --> check to make sure its plugged into correct port [21:34] PowerMOos: install first the libs then the others [21:34] After replacing linux with Windows at my wife's request (she always griped about wanting Windows back), she IM'd me w/ this: http://pastebin.com/m62b708ab [21:35] nibsa1242b, checked both. that's all i seem to get :\ [21:35] Dillizar: don't worry about that now [21:35] what would happen if i installed ubuntu over fedora 10? would my files get erased? [21:35] Hello I forgot my password in Seahorse (to decode a file, it's a pgp), is it anyway to change it or recovery it? [21:35] I want my terminal, when transparent to see the window right under it rather than clear through to the Desktop... what package do I need to have? [21:35] is there another command line mixer or anything :s [21:35] Does anyone know to emulate [21:35] Tonitoni: well with the data i have i can not see what may be wrong. you can boot into recovery mode and run 'dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' [21:35] skyl: are you using a compositing manager? [21:35] Hey can anyone help me with grub? [21:35] Danu: nope, you just need to remember the password [21:35] crdlb not that I know of [21:35] sofi1: emulate what? [21:35] skyl: using gnome? [21:36] crdlb yes [21:36] i would attempt to create a virtual machine instead of emulate [21:36] skyl: what is system > prefs > appearance > visual effects set to? [21:36] I'm currently setting it up to boot win 7 and ubuntu, but I don't know if I've done it right [21:36] Mark_: a direct download of the kernel from kernel.org is downloading at 14kbps [21:36] erUSUL: DO I do that by ctl/alt f1? [21:36] :( well I guess i lost the file, Thanks anyway nibsa1242b [21:36] sorry 14 kBps [21:36] hi [21:36] Master_Of_Insani: you can check with the pulse daemon to see if mic is enagled [21:36] So can anyone help me? [21:36] Tonitoni: if you can get to a virtual console you can do it from there [21:37] gladiator, type (at a terminal): ip addr [21:37] Danu: the point of encryption is that you have to have the password... next time if you are going to forget your password, don't encrypt/ use weaker encryption [21:37] Tonitoni: if not choose recovery mode from the grub menu (at boot) [21:37] look for the number after the word 'mtu' [21:37] sake have you attempted to try wine? === Lincid is now known as false [21:37] yea [21:37] I"m dual booting so i can run my games [21:37] OK [21:37] on a ubuntu mini 9, should 'uname -m' return i686 or some lpia variant? [21:37] ok... just what is it that you are attempting to do? [21:37] joker: I fixed the bootloader with a tool called super grub disk [21:38] erUSUL What can I expect after I do that? I'm a GUI user unless someone walks me through commands [21:38] :s [21:38] JOKER: I'm trying to dual boot win 7 and ubuntu [21:38] savid lol, thats great... tell her to get Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware... it'll probably remove what ever she has ( tp://www.malwarebytes.org/ ) [21:38] ok... was wondering is all [21:38] JOKER: I can now boot ubuntu again, but there is no option for win 7 [21:38] gladiator, mtu should be 1500 for ethernet connections generally, some dsl that uses pppoe might be 1492 [21:38] Tonitoni: that will regenerate the Xserver configuration. hopefully with a wroking one. once done reboot and cross your fingers [21:38] is there a known issue of mysql server not starting on 8.10 amd64? I rebooted and now it fails to start. I tried purging all databases and apt cache and reinstalling. No luck. /var/log files that have mysql in their name don't offer any indication as they are 0 byte. [21:38] tgm4883_: if it's running Ubuntu Mobile, it should return lpia. If not, i686 or amd64. [21:38] why does Ubuntu constantly have issues with sound? [21:38] crdlb they were set to None then I got Desktop effects could not be enabled [21:38] so you are on a dual boot? [21:38] joker: I know how to add it, I'm just not sure how to find the (hd0,0) thingy [21:39] I upgraded with the auto update last night, and now I have no sound. [21:39] skyl: what video card? [21:39] rww, hmm. I reinstalled using the dell disk, and i [21:39] ok... [21:39] #ubuntu.it [21:39] JOKER: NRN, they are both there [21:39] erUSUL thanks, I'll try and see what happens [21:39] nibsa1242b, try restarting pulseaudio [21:39] rww, im getting i686 [21:39] ok [21:39] JOKER: But I can only boot one of them [21:39] crdlb ATI Radeon, not sure which [21:39] Mark_: the only way I know how to do that is pulseaudio - [21:39] skyl: lspci | grep -i vga [21:39] yes... i see that... selection [21:39] erUSUL, I'm guessing guifications and the other plugins will work in 2.5.5 or do I have to get those too ? [21:39] Mark_: the only way I know how to do that is pulseaudio -k , pulseaudio -D ... I've already done that [21:39] Mark_: i am on wifi connected to a router. 4: wlan0: mtu 576 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 [21:40] crdlb 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Sapphire X550 Silent] [21:40] hi i have a question. i plugged my usb mp3 player in and want to copy music into it. but i cant find my mp3 player anywhere on my ubuntu. [21:40] joker: :D I just need to add the link to the grub menu so I can boot it [21:40] nibsa1242b, kill all the pulse audio crap in the terminal with kill, then start it as a regular user with the pulse-session command [21:40] PowerMOos: dunno really not a heavy pidgin user myself [21:40] erUSUL, The version in the repos [21:40] tgm4883_: I guess the dell installer doesn't use Ubuntu Mobile. It's not that much of a problem; lpia is just iX86 with some settings changed. [21:40] erUSUL, oh [21:40] yep [21:40] Mark_: all I get is "W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader. [21:40] " [21:40] skyl: on intrepid? [21:40] PowerMOos: I use pidgin [21:40] crdlb jaunty [21:40] nibsa1242b, thats a normal error [21:40] skyl: you should be asking in #ubuntu+1 then [21:40] doh! [21:40] PowerMOos: What do you need help with? [21:40] rww, ok, thanks for the info [21:41] nibsa1242b, thanks I'll take a look at that one. Though, being a linux guy you know how I hate paying for things ;-) [21:41] yea gladiator, your mtu is probably the problem [21:41] i am not too familiar with windows 7.. i was an xp user switched to ubuntu [21:41] savid: its free as in beer, unless you want the constant monitoring feature [21:41] Sake, erUSUL , I reinstalled them, they work OK with the new one. [21:41] gladiator: mtu 576 <<<< that's a very low mtu value... it should be ~1500 [21:41] JOKER: Yea i used vista but killed it [21:41] Mark_: ok, I tried killall pulseaudio , and then pulse-session ... nothing [21:41] skyl: Jaunty doesn't have fglrx right now, so desktop effects won't work [21:42] nibsa1242b, ah [21:42] i do know that ubuntu plays nicely with xp.. not sure about vista [21:42] gladiator, wireless speed could be anything (a microwave, a cordless phone, etc) but that mtu is definately too low [21:42] if i type in tail -n0 -f /var/log/messages it says that it recognises the mp3 player [21:42] PowerMOos: yea, it should work though [21:42] soz [21:42] anybody know of a navicat-like (but free) tool that will run on Ubuntu? [21:42] JOKER: it should work [21:42] JOKER: Ive done it b4 [21:42] Yes, albums, guifications, etc are all working OK with 2.5.5 [21:42] speaking of mtu how do i raise it? The GUI networking tool that's in the top right corner of the panel doesnt seem to "Save" the MTU setting i choose, cause if i do sudo ifconfig it says MTU 1500, i put it at 3000 in the gui thingy :) [21:42] Mark_, erUSUL: what is mtu a measure of? and why would it be low? [21:42] does anybody know where i can find the it? [21:42] savid: I use it on tech support calls... as long as its updated to the most recent version, it gets rid of almost everything. [21:42] mtu is 'maximum transmission unit'.. i.e. a packet frame size [21:42] PowerMOos: then what's wrong? [21:42] let me read up on mtu :) [21:42] gladiator: is the "packet" size [21:42] Nothing anymore. [21:43] !mtu [21:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about mtu [21:43] ok if you can remember what it was that you did,i am certain it will work again [21:43] gladiator, dialup mtu is default 576, ethernet is 1500 [21:43] savid: only thing to watch out for is that some virus/ worms won't let it run, so you have to rename the executable [21:43] JOKER: lol I wish, my friend did it for me [21:43] well time to have that friend tell ya what they did... [21:43] gladiator: try changing it "sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1412 [21:43] hi i have a question. i plugged my usb mp3 player in and want to copy music into it. but i cant find my mp3 player anywhere on my ubuntu. if i type in tail -n0 -f /var/log/messages it says that it recognises the mp3 player [21:43] henryC: have you tried phpmyadmin? [21:43] hello [21:43] gladiator, try the command: ip link set wlan0 mtu 1500 [21:43] Mark_, erUSUL: i didnt change anything. i just installed ubuntu a couple days ago. it is how it is [21:44] gladiator, if that helps it, then we need to figure out how to make it permanent [21:44] gladiator: try changing it "sudo ifconfig wlan0 mtu 1500" [21:44] Hans-Martin sure I've used phpmyadmin but it's not as nice and as fast as Navicat... [21:44] JOKER: He's at school, and i'm not so i cant call him. also I know what he did just not how to do it [21:44] JOKER: I just need to know the position of my win 7 install [21:44] Mark_: ok killing pulseaudio and pulse-session didn't do anything... any other ideas? [21:44] JOKER: how do i find it? [21:44] henryC: I must admit I never used Navicat nor did I look at screenshots until now... [21:44] I have installed apache and activated userdir module. File created by applications in ~/public_html are own by www-data:www-data, so I cannot manage them in nautilus. How fix that ? [21:45] Sake: does it show up under sudo fdisk -l ? [21:45] ok hold on...looking it up [21:45] Mark_, erUSUL: i changed it. now run some test again? [21:45] does anyone of you guys could help me? [21:45] Mark_: wow you were able to untangle the mess that the "ip" manuals is XD impressed [21:45] I like Navicat because some db edits are as simple as editing a spreadsheet, and it's super fast. [21:45] nibsa1242b: I haven't treid that brb its on other pc [21:46] b0ne1: it's probably not so easy to diagnose this with so little info [21:46] gladiator, yea, run a test again [21:46] Hans-Martin, and with my info can you ? ;) [21:46] Mark i tried 'sudo ip link set eth0 mtu 3000' but it said RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument, [21:46] nibsa1242b, that always worked for me, pulseaudio is quite the headache [21:46] nibsa1242b: Ok so its dev/sda1 [21:46] wait i nopaste my console results [21:46] b0ne1: paste the output of tail /var/log/messages after plug [21:46] thats because you cant set it above 1500 unless your card supports jumbo frames [21:46] and even then [21:46] nibsa1242b: and its ID is 7 [21:46] Ex-Chat [21:46] Is there a way to keep all commands I use stored in .bash_history? I tried editing .bashrc to include export HISTSIZE=1000000 but my history still gets wiped :( [21:46] dang [21:46] whoops sorry [21:46] your switch needs jumbo frames, the other end needs jumbo frames, etc [21:46] eseven73: 3000 is too much [21:47] Mark_: I absolutely hate pulseaudio. It makes me want to switch distros. 3 out of 3 computer I have Ubuntu on have issues with it. [21:47] Mark problem is, VNC is making my network disconnect every 2 seconds :( SO i figured maybe mtu too low [21:47] nibsa1242b: So what do i enter into grub as the (hd0,0)? [21:47] http://nopaste.info/2be5231836.html <- there i dont know if this is enough info [21:47] Hello, I have a screen problem. The case is that text and images copies itself halfway and overlaps the text under. That happens both with text and images, both in IRC and on the web. In FireFox a F5 often helps, but it happens on all sites. What can I do ? [21:47] asteroid: probably not, but it sounds like you should use some module which switches uid as well (there are ways to config apache so that php is run with the cgi mechanism, which enables that) [21:48] nibsa1242b: You there? [21:48] so, JWM is an Ubuntu package? does it add itself to the x sessions or not? I saw on the forums that at least at 1 point it didn't. [21:48] Sake: I don't know how windows 7 needs its grub options setup; normally you need to chainload and do something fancy to make windows think its disk is the primary disk [21:48] Sake: put your sudo fdisk -l into a pastebin so I can see it [21:48] !info jwm [21:48] jwm (source: jwm): Very small lightweight pure X11 window manager with tray and menus. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.1-1.1 (intrepid), package size 93 kB, installed size 284 kB [21:48] all i am comming up with is the past versions of ubuntu 7 and xp...lol [21:48] nibsa1242b: ok but its on other pc [21:49] i think everything sounds alright, doesnt it? [21:49] Sake: you can pastebin it from another pc [21:49] nibsa1242b: Soz gtg be on lata [21:49] try googling the situation [21:49] What distros don't use pulse audio? I'm so fed up with pulse that I'm going to change distros. [21:50] is there a distro that is better than average for laptops [21:50] nibsa1242b: That's offtopic for this channel. [21:50] actually, i think kubuntu might not use it [21:50] youd have to check first [21:50] but thats kde [21:50] Mark_, erUSUL: its slightly better. download speed is upto about 20kBps. Should be about 50kBps [21:50] erUSUL http://nopaste.info/2be5231836.html <- there i dont know if this is enough info [21:50] How can I set a keystroke to move the top window to a different workspace? (I'm using Compiz-Fusion) [21:50] Mark_: Kubuntu uses pulseaudio. [21:50] rww: ahh [21:51] gladiator, well its progress [21:51] /usr/bin/startx: line 166: xauth: command not found [21:51] no no we cant keep changing distro just because something so trivial, sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio and be done with pulse, but dont switch distros :) [21:51] can not start /etc/X11/X no such file or directory, aborting [21:51] b0ne1: see http://nopaste.info/4ec5bca8d3.html for a log of my stuff. looks like somehow your kernel does not recognize this as a mass storage device [21:51] i type in startx [21:51] gladiator, http://www.dslreports.com/tweak <- run that test [21:51] thewrath: sudo apt-get install xorg [21:51] erUSL I got it to work. I pressed ctl/alt/f1 and then escape and it said it something about starting the regular way and then the desktop came up. Thanks. [21:51] gladiator, lets see what it says for results === guntbert_ is now known as guntbert [21:52] okay thnk you rww [21:52] b0ne1: are you sure it's not a MTP device (MP3 player with microsoft specific protocol?) [21:52] mhm no im not shure [21:52] is there an auto modprobe line to enable floppy drives automatically on startup in Intrpid? [21:52] why do i need xorg rww ? [21:52] rww: sry, all I really want to know is why updates constantly break pulse. when 8.10 came out, pulse worked on all 3 of my computers. The first update killed all sound on 2 of them. An update from yesterday made it non-functional on my third computer. [21:52] JOKER: add floppy to /etc/modules === akv_ is now known as akv [21:53] ty rww [21:53] thewrath: because you appear to be missing a bunch of files needed by startx. [21:53] Mark_: ok. it might take some time though. plugin missing... :( [21:53] ohh, no java? =[ [21:53] how do I enable vsync in xorg.conf? [21:53] xorg is the graphics subsystem, unless I've mistaken it for a rather similar package [21:53] thewrath: the xorg metapackage will install a basic working xorg distribution [21:53] Hans-Martin windows did recognised it as a mass storage and sometimes as a mtp device [21:53] b0ne1: if it's MTP you need to search the web for descriptions on how to access it - I have no experience with that [21:53] does pulse audio use a kernel module? [21:53] oh okay thanks [21:54] the best way to copy an iso's contents to a usb drive would be to mount -o loop /path/to/cdimage.iso /mnt/iso then cp /mnt/iso/* /media/disk -- right? [21:54] nibsa1242b: but switching distros over that is like throwing the baby out with the bath water, remove pulse if it's so problematic [21:54] b0ne1: the tail is not enough paste "dmesg | tail -n 25" output [21:54] ok wait a sec.. [21:54] Zeroyez, why not "dd if=/path/to/file.iso of=/usb/key/device" [21:54] I heard complaints about pulse audio, in that it tends to take a bunch of other stuff it shouldn't with it [21:55] wouldn't dd copy the UDF file system to the USB stick? [21:55] How can I set a keystroke to move the top window to a different workspace? (I'm using Compiz-Fusion) [21:55] not sure, read "man dd" [21:55] Bob ive never had issues like that :) [21:55] Zeroyez: yes, it would. [21:55] hello. why won't ssh, apache2, or vsftpd start unless i login? i'm using ubuntu 8.10. [21:56] http://nopaste.info/03698860d4.html erUSUL [21:56] b0ne1: look here for some info: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-877862.html [21:56] i just want the iso to have 100% of its files and attributes copied to a fat32 usb stick [21:56] valuedcustomer: You're probably using NetworkManager to manage your internet, which doesn't connect until you log in. [21:56] eseven73: think of it like this... I have 3 computers at my house to maintain that are all used by 3 different people... and another 3-4 used by relatives with Ubuntu. Every time pulse breaks I have to spend a day or two fixing some / all of those computer. If I stay with Ubuntu, that means every six months, I'll waste a week of my time fixing pulse. Its not worth it. [21:56] rww: i am. what should i do? [21:57] Bob_Dole: or maybe rather than removing pulse, set up a script or something that just disables it on boot [21:57] Actually what's wrong with Pidgin? [21:57] valuedcustomer: How do you connect to your network? Ethernet or wireless? [21:57] rww thanks again for your asist [21:57] thx Hans-Martin this is exactly my problem. i have the samsung s3 and somebody written that its a mtp only device [21:57] b0ne1: it seems that there is a problem the device connects and disconnects againand again [21:57] erUSUL: the problem with b0ne1's player is that it's MTP (confirmed by the USB ID) [21:57] * G69 Boa Noite. [21:57] DaDa|Urka: What do you mean? [21:57] rww: wireless [21:57] rww: Pidgin cannot connect to icq server [21:58] Hans-Martin: ah ok [21:58] DaDa|Urka: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/340075 [21:58] !pt | G69 [21:58] G69: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [21:58] thank you guys, atleast i know where the problem is [21:58] DaDa|Urka: new version of pidgin that corrects the problem is on the PPAs linked from that bug report, and on getdeb. [21:59] Bbiab..gotta switch network connects so I can test a cable @.@ [21:59] olah .. algum br por ai] [21:59] !br | emil_ [21:59] emil_: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [21:59] b0ne1: my son has an S3, too, and IIRC I've given up on supporting it under Ubuntu. My son uses windows, where the device is supported, so this is probably no help for you. [21:59] how do i enable vertical synchronization in xorg.conf? I am getting screen tearing [21:59] ty [22:00] Hey all, is there something like FrontPage for ubuntu? (Free obviously) [22:00] how in the world does freenode find out if i'm logged in as root [22:00] valuedcustomer: Edit /etc/network/interfaces per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834 === Soviet_Bob is now known as Bob_Dole [22:00] Zeroyez: your username [22:00] DaDa|Urka: I have that Pidgin problem, too. we'll probably have to wait until the newest pidgin version is available in the ubuntu repositories. [22:00] Hans-Martin thank you. ive copied my music to my windows partition. [22:00] Zeroyez: your IRC ident defaults to your username [22:01] Hans-Martin: DaDa|Urka: new version of pidgin that corrects the problem is on the PPAs linked from that bug report, and on getdeb. [22:01] I can't get compiz to use emerald instead of gtk-window-decorator. any thoughts? [22:01] Ok then, bad ethernet cable. crap. [22:01] oh haha [22:01] rww: thanks [22:01] Oh well, a bit of use of the wireless won't kill me [22:01] nibsa1242b: yeah I hear you, but, if we switch distros everytime something went bad,,, well...we'd never get anything done, On the contrary, Linux gives us this flexablilty and freedome to switch when ever we feel it's needed :) (i gotta take this to #ubuntu-offtopic before the ops strike the !OT hammer on me) hehe :D [22:01] * eseven73 hides [22:01] rww: thanks! [22:01] grep -i emerald /usr/bin/compiz says that emerald is default if it is installed [22:01] cya guys. and thank you very much for the support [22:02] in other words, the option there is yes. [22:02] myron: what version of ubuntu are you using? [22:02] hardy 8.04 [22:03] so as i was asking earlier, cp /mnt/iso/* /media/disk would copy every file and dir in /mnt/iso to the usb stick? [22:03] Are there torrents available for the official CD of Ubuntu Server 8.10 ? [22:03] i will be back later.. [22:03] Zeroyez: add a "-a" to cp [22:04] qbrix: yep === felix_da_catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [22:04] myron: that USE_EMERALD=yes doesn't do anything anymore [22:04] thanks erUSUL [22:04] <_VIM_> !away > felix-da-catz_zz [22:04] Zeroyez: add a -r if u want all subdirectories to be copied as well [22:04] felix-da-catz_zz, please see my private message [22:04] where are the torrent lists? [22:04] myron: look in ccsm: WIndow Decoration > Command; that's what controls it now [22:04] qbrix: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#bt [22:04] gladiator: -a includes -r does it now? [22:04] not* [22:05] qbrix: on the same place you find the iso you find the torrent files and the jidgo ones [22:05] Zeroyez: yes it does [22:05] crdlb: I tried to use the emerald command in there, but it still loaded gtk-window-decorator [22:06] rww: I don't know how I load packages from the PPA, is there a how-to somewhere? [22:06] myron: do you have something in your startup apps running gtk-window-decorator then? [22:06] erUSUL: thanks! [22:06] Hi [22:06] crdlb: do I need to change it from "emerald" to "emerald --replace" [22:06] qbrix: no problem [22:06] myron: note that it won't take effect immediately if there's already a decorator running [22:06] myron: no, since it only runs if there is no decorator, it doesn't matter [22:07] crdlb: screenlets wouldn't have an effect on it would it? [22:07] How can i search for all types on images in ubuntu ? [22:07] myron: no [22:07] myron, try compiz fusion icon.. handy [22:07] fusion icon pwns [22:08] lol [22:08] does it? [22:08] Hate to just run in and ask for help but I'm in a bit of a pickle and would like to get this to run today. I'm very newbieish. I got a P5QL Pro and a 256 MB USB key with no burnable CDs close by. I can't seem to get it to detect a ethernet card and a bit of googling suggested I need third party ones but how do I best do that with minimal install? [22:08] Did all of that hit you all for crits? [22:08] Hans-Martin: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA#Installing%20software%20from%20a%20PPA [22:08] Dreamglider locate jpg, png, gif, bmp [22:08] I don't have a compiz fusion icon, other than "system > preferences > advanced desktop effects settings" [22:08] trillex, what's P5QL pro, for a first thing [22:09] ASUS Motherboard [22:09] Dreamglider or use beagle [22:09] trillex: which network card it is? [22:09] myron, apt-get install it. [22:09] ATL1e, it seems [22:09] myron: you could always work around the problem by putting 'emerald --replace' in your autostart [22:09] Doesn't accept atl1 that is in 8.10 [22:09] hi i have an old desktop that i am trying to install ubuntu on. the desktop can only boot if the jumper on the hdd is set to 32GB clip. does anyone know a way around this [22:09] ? [22:09] what is the program name for the compiz fusion icon? [22:09] trillex, try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 and typing "lshw" [22:09] trillex: well /lib/modules/2.6.27-13-generic/kernel/drivers/net/atl1e/atl1e.ko <<<< seems included in intrepid [22:09] Are there any "windows" like themes for XFCE? meaning to put a bunch of lower end(600-1ghz P3s with 128-256MB of RAM) out for the high school students that have ever only known windows, and don't really want to have to teach them a whole new interface. [22:10] trillex: sudo modprobe atl1e [22:10] 600mhz-1ghz* [22:10] myron, fusion-icon [22:10] thanks [22:10] Anyone here use emacs? I have a funny cursor problem. It is super big, like the blinking cursor in emacs is not one char big, but like 10! [22:10] Bob_Dole, XFCE-look.org may be a good place to check ... [22:10] myron, its used to set windows manager, and theme manager.. a quick flick on/off for things like video playback which is a problem for many [22:11] erUSUL: Not found [22:11] thanks, brandonban6 [22:11] trillex: :( [22:11] but I'm not positive that I got ahold of the intrepid mini [22:11] I will double check [22:11] trillex, did you do what i told you? "lspci" [22:12] btw the network card for p5ql pro is Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet [22:12] trillex: well the -13 is from proposed... i will chck in packages.ubuntu.com [22:12] Oop, sorry, didn't see that [22:13] Zeroyez: , i think madwifi has drivers for that card [22:13] Bob_Dole i dont think the themes would be the issue, you may just need to structure the menu for the exivlent itms to be where they may expect them to be. [22:13] great, looks like the fusion icon fixed it. I'm going to reboot and make sure that it keeps my setings [22:13] hey [22:13] Bob_Dole infact yu may have more luck making fluxbox look like win [22:13] is it already in the repos? [22:14] Is there a good Ubuntu Web Page editor/creator? [22:14] trillex: do « find /lib/modules/ -name '*atl*' » [22:14] !nvu | armence [22:14] armence: kompozer is a WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project. It is available in !Universe on !Gutsy and later releases. [22:15] when I try to boot off the ubuntu cd on my laptop, I get to a promp that says busy box then ata2.0 revalidation failed. what does it mean? [22:15] Sorry for my question that isn't related to CentOS but strickly sysadmin. I don't know where to ask it... it's a best practice question: I have a 3ware raid controller with RAID1 cluster and 1 of the drive is degraded, I'd like to replace it and do it as fast as possible. My idea is to shutdown the machine swap the drive restart it and recreated the raid after the machine reboot and is running again (to limit the downtime). [22:15] Is it better to remove the drive from the unit (software) before shutding down the server or it doesn't matter. I'm hopping to have an automatic rebuilding after the boot [22:15] salve a tutti [22:15] Zeroyez: Atheros has windows dirvers for that card, he could use ndiswrapper [22:15] Darknezz: Attansic Technology Corp.

[22:17] ive tried gt-RMD and Istanbul and they aint fast enough,, any more apps to record 3d ? [22:17] Or mahybe I did it wrong, I have to walk 2 meter to put it in [22:17] Mark_: is there a way to find my connection type? for dslreports.com [22:17] its not important really gladiator, just put cable or dsl === xxx__ is now known as _iron [22:18] Yup, I rebooted, and fusion-icon made compiz use emerald [22:18] trillex: is ubuntu 8.10 ?? becouse i checked and the driver should be there [22:18] thanks guys [22:18] trillex, lol? [22:18] Mark_, I'm going to ... I just don't know how to start ... if I can just turn it off or if there is any gain removing it from the unit [22:19] gladiator, at the bottom of the results page there is a section that says "Still stuck? copy/paste this url:" and there is a link underneath, that will show us the results of the test [22:19] Mark_: http://www.dslreports.com/tweakr/block:4ff5dfd?service=wireless&speed=512&os=Linux&via=normal [22:19] nat2610, it depends on your specific card (if it has enough slots etc to leave the degraded drive in there), leaving it in shouldnt hurt, but theres no need to leave it in [22:20] Just redownloaded 8.10 mini, put it on the drive and tossed it over [22:20] Nothing. [22:20] gladiator, you have a very weird connectiong [22:20] gladiator, who is your ISP? [22:20] trillex: what does "uname -a" returns? [22:21] trillex, lol? [22:21] I'm using VirtualBox to run Ubuntu and would like to know how to get the IP address of the deivce VirtualBox is hosting ? [22:21] Mark_: why? this is Wateen. Wimax [22:21] what does the circle icon on the upper left of any open windows do? [22:21] in other words, how to connect to the device from windows ? [22:21] Hi everybody [22:21] because 1500 mtu is very strange [22:21] 1500 mtu wont work for you [22:21] what does the circle icon on the upper left of any open windows do? [22:22] reynante: opens the window menu ¿ [22:22] window is not windows [22:22] Mark_: whats weird about it? and what should i set the mtu to then? [22:23] gladiator, 1500 is the frame size for ethernet, wimax must use some sort of encapsulation, looking at your tweak test you might try something like 1420 [22:23] dude7064: ask #vbox [22:23] ip link wlan0 set mtu 1420 [22:24] bye folks [22:24] gladiator: Mark_ maybe it is better to just check which mtu windows uses? [22:25] the goal is to make mtu as large as possible without going over the hardware maximum.. its like 'the price is right' [22:25] Mark_: shouldnt that more or less be link independent? for instance right now, my laptop is connected to wifi router which is connected via lan to the Wimax receiver which is then connected to wimax [22:25] Hey, I'm trying to install Xubuntu, but when I boot into the cd, hitting "ENTER" on the option to install (or any of the options for that matter) doesn't do anything [22:25] well. This is surprisingly easy to configure..hopefully when I get back Xubuntu actually works with the overly-large DHCP packets our router puts out. [22:25] in theory, it should be [22:25] due to path mtu discovery [22:25] MTU of 1470 is a standard for networking in windows with 1500 being the max for small networks [22:26] erUSUL: Linux (none) 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 06:40:41 UTC 2008 x86_64 unknown.

How do i install apache in Ubuntu [22:26] by the way ... i am on 64 bit ubuntu.. was using 32 bit vista earlier.. [22:27] Cream: sudo apt-get httpd [22:27] I believe [22:27] Hey, I'm trying to install Xubuntu, but when I boot into the cd, hitting "ENTER" on the option to install (or any of the options for that matter) doesn't do anything [22:27] * p-master says Ubuntu is the worst distro. [22:27] trillex: according to this http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/amd64/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic/filelist the atl driver should be there [22:27] Cream sudo apt-get install apache2 [22:27] Thanks :) [22:27] trillex: keep in mind it is atL not at1 as in one [22:27] w00t, netsplit [22:27] hello? [22:27] I know [22:28] gladiator, i have to go for a bit, stick with 1500 if you are behind a router [22:28] But yeah, it does say it's in everything yet isn't in this minimal iso. [22:28] Any way to somehow add it to it? [22:28] the bot banned the netsplitters? [22:28] !exploit [22:28] There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit [22:28] Mark_: ok. thanks guys [22:28] Bob_Dole, actually, it's a exploit [22:28] trillex: well you can download the deb for another kernl from packages.ubuntu.com and install it [22:28] hi all. i would like to use a gsynaptics on macbook pro. in order to use it, i seem to have enable SHMconfig in xorg.conf. but still, when i start gsynaptics, it says, that SHMconfig needs to be enabled.. i am screwed [22:28] why doesn't the Xubuntu cd screen let me press the "Enter" key? [22:28] the bot banned them and force forwarded them users to another channel. [22:30]
