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 === zurn is now known as fc [01:02] Cream: sudo apt-get purege programname [01:03] purge [01:03] I'm experiencing odd behavior from claws-mail, my lowercase 'n' doesn't work [01:03] pros977: open the configuration editor and go to /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible and uncheck it [01:03] thanks sebsebseb [01:03] Cream: sudo apt-get purge programname [01:03] I am right now cutting my teeth on linux for the first time via ubuntu... learning not to be afraid of xorg.conf, for example... currently the computer is set up dual boot with XP. Got 4 partitions: XP Ubuntu, ubuntu swap file and the original IBM recovery partition Soon I will turn over the whole 40-meg HD over to ubuntu on this P4. QUESTION: How easy it is to run the live CD and tell... [01:03] ...Ubuntu "wipe the whole darn HD and install yourself on it" = or is there a clue I am missing? [01:03] only in that application and only lowercase, uppercase "N" does work [01:03] quibbler configuration editor? [01:03] clueneeded: having a seperate home is also a good idea [01:03] !home [01:03] Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [01:03] quibbler nvm [01:03] sebsebseb: ok i did the apt-get thing, how do I get latest java? [01:04] quibbler tyvn [01:04] anyone have any ideas? [01:04] epictArd: that will have given you it [01:04] is anybody experiencing slow ssh logins? it just seems to hang for 5-7 seconds. i've searched google and the forums and tried all the tricks that supposedly work and nothing [01:04] !VPN [01:04] From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [01:04] sebsebseb oh [01:04] pros977: gconf-editor in a terminal [01:04] what should i download for ubuntu.....im new sorry [01:04] nightdrever: loads of stuff :) [01:04] darkhelmetlive is this on a lan? [01:05] forums back up [01:05] like? [01:05] can you help me? [01:05] nightrid3r: want Ubuntu to look nicer? [01:05] nightdrever: want Ubuntu to look nicer? [01:05] nightrid3r: yes. it worked fine before (i had installed 5.10 when it came out, and progressively upgraded to 8.10 as new versions came out), but my HD crashed and i reinstalled 8.10, and it's slow........ [01:05] nightdrever: heh I think I know what to install in Ubuntu, considering I been using it since the second release [01:05] nightdrever: so yeah [01:05] yeah [01:06] <_VIM_> you guys are highliting the wrong "night*" [01:06] sebsebseb: I think I need Sun's JRE [01:06] nightdrever: depends what you want to do etc, go PM [01:06] epictArd: yes get SUn's JRE [01:06] sebsebseb: thanks for the partial clue... but it does not answer my original question. Will the live CD make it easy for even a beginner to simply say "wipe the whole HD and install yourself on it [01:06] sebsebseb how? [01:06] everybody's afraid to tackle that one, huh? [01:06] clueneeded: yes [01:06] cooooooooooooooooooool :) [01:06] darkhelmetlive seems ssh does a dns lookup, put your lan machines in the /etc/hosts file [01:06] clueneeded: ,but you get more control using the partition editor on the cd and then doing a manual install [01:07] Frijolie1 - what one? [01:07] sebsebseb: is the partition editor part of teh install screen or what [01:07] nightrid3r: on the server i set UseDNS no, and i use dnsmasq so ip addresses get updated when dhcp grabs an address [01:07] clueneeded: ,but a guided install that gave you a to big swap, could be changed after woulds [01:07] i dont know how to pm? [01:07] nightdrever: find my name in the list and click on it [01:07] <_VIM_> Frijolie1: this isn't a email support channel [01:07] epictArd: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin [01:07] hi [01:07] clueneeded: no it's on the CD [01:08] clueneeded: the actsaul manual install in the installer is rather limited [01:08] hello all [01:08] ?? [01:08] What can I do with ubuntu server edition? Can it be a file server? [01:08] typing a lower-case 'n', in claws-mail doesn't work. upper-case does and it's only in that application [01:08] sebsebseb: got a website to explain this partition thing? [01:08] not doing nething [01:08] clueneeded: did you md5sum your Ubuntu ISO I guess not? well that's a good thing to do, before using it [01:08] my ubuntu freezes sometimes. What log file can I check? [01:08] corey: you can do anything with it, so yes it can be a fileserver [01:08] !md5sum [01:08] To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [01:08] _VIM_, I don't need "email" support [01:08] darkhelmetlive then i don't have a clue [01:08] hey, with a new theme i'm getting "This theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ Theme engine '' is not installed" [01:08] Frijolie1 - interesting. Lets see if I can duplicate that... [01:09] nightrid3r: lol exactly. i tried that, i tried the GSSAPI whatever crap on the client, still slow... [01:09] ajehals, thanks. I'm running 3.7.1 [01:09] darkhelmetlive: can it do more than one thing at once? I hear about fileserver, printserver, firewall but never just a server [01:09] clueneeded: no, but I can explain it :D [01:09] corey: my ubuntu server is samba,cups,apache,dns,dhcp,etc,etc,etc,etc [01:09] clueneeded: ok new users will normalley do the guided install that makes Ubuntu take the whole hard disk [01:09] corey: it runs everything [01:09] epaphus: the alternate installation disk works on some systems that the live cd doesn't work on. It also has other options on install that you can choose. Most of those options are for advance users. [01:09] Frijolie1 - I was about to ask, Ta [01:09] <_VIM_> Frijolie1: Claws Mail - the email client that bites! hmmm sounds like it to me :P [01:10] clueneeded: however that can give you a rather big swap space that is say 8GB when really you only need 1GB or less, or none at all [01:10] _VIM_, yeah it's "biting" right now [01:10] hello [01:10] clueneeded: however you can resize the partitions later and such after an install from Live CD [01:10] hi, would anyone like to help me troubleshoot skype on hardy Ubuntu? [01:10] hey guys, does anyone here have experience with hybrid-ircd on Ubuntu? [01:10] -> my ubuntu freezes sometimes. What log file can I check? [01:10] while waiting, what's the cli command to tell what version of a package is in the repos? [01:11] i accedently deleted all the bars and menus off my desktop, how do i restore them to tehir default? [01:11] darkhelmetlive: cool! can it run from a flash drive? I dont want the HDDs chattering when the data isnt being accessed. The OS tends to cause most of the chattering usually [01:11] How do you move a file in ubuntu [01:11] Frijolie1: guessing here.. sudo apt-cache -version [01:11] <_VIM_> !panels | corey [01:11] corey: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [01:11] How would I run an ls -al on /home/ and everything in /home/ and recursively down? [01:11] sooooo [01:11] that's easy [01:11] Cream: mv file /to/this/place [01:11] http://70.48.92.129/mediawiki [01:11] sorry. [01:11] maybe I should try a more advanced channel [01:11] corey: well, sort of, but if you want just a fileserver there are other livecd type options. if you intend to do anything past that, you'd have to install it on the HD [01:11] clueneeded: Windows, does not give much control when it comes to partitning, but if you want it, you can have loads with Ubuntu [01:11] sebsebseb: i downloaded the latest java version from theyre site, its a bin file, how do i install/run it? [01:12] Cream, you can also move a file with the nautilus or Konqueror browser [01:12] adamb: ls -Ral [01:12] -R nevermind.. [01:12] subsubsub: so the guided install will happily wipe the drive for me and install with proper home and swap partitions... then I need to resize the swap partition [01:12] ok im lost can some please help me, i need to be able to access my home computer over the internet with my tablet pc remotely how can this be done easily [01:12] lol yeah i look atmanpage, thanks. [01:12] epictArd: bins are always a pain to do, uhmmmmm not sure how to do them hummmm. you want the one from Ubuntu repo, that should be fine [01:12] Okay [01:12] mv source target [01:12] quick question on gnutella, how can I confirm the encryption flag is on (default) ... gtk-gnutella channel are asleep =-( [01:12] Scunizi, thanks, that didn't work but I'm RTFM on apt-cache..at least got me in the right direction [01:13] darkhelmetlive: Can I make the server go into S3 standby but wake up when I try to access through the LAN? [01:13] Frijolie1: :) [01:13] <_VIM_> Scunizi: i think it's apt-cache -policy or something [01:13] * _VIM_ checks [01:13] subsubsub: how do i access a gui based probram in ubuntu to resize partitons [01:13] clueneeded: sudo apt-get install gparted [01:13] gparted [01:13] clueneeded: gparted [01:13] does anyone here use gfxboot to boot ubuntu? [01:13] corey: i doubt it [01:13] _VIM_: that's probably it.. Frijolie1 needed it.. Frijolie1 ^__^ [01:14] can anyone tell me how i can upgrade my old version of svn to a newer one? [01:14] clueneeded: and it's already on the live cd [01:14] Frijolie1 - OK I cannot replicate that, so its probably something related to your config, I'd suggest moving your ~/.claws-mail directory setting up a new config and seeing if it still happens.. you cn always move your config back after. [01:14] corey: my server uptime is almost 30 days [01:14] corey its called wake on lan, your hardware has to support it [01:14] (studid breaker tripping...) [01:14] stupid* [01:14] sebsebseb: sound actually straighforward ;) [01:14] <_VIM_> Scunizi: meh, im getting errors with policy too :( [01:14] nightrid3r: how is that triggered [01:14] <_VIM_> i know its something policy [01:14] clueneeded: what? [01:14] ajehals, yeah I figured it was my config settings somewhere but don't/didn't know where to begin [01:14] sebsebseb: I meant that as a compliment :) [01:15] darkhelmetlive: I am concerned about power consumption. I could just place one of my laptops so that the cd tray hits the on/off button and SSH it to eject the drive. [01:15] b1n42y ? [01:15] clueneeded: if you already got an install setting up a seperate home can be a pain, but if you haven't installed yet, it's easy [01:15] ajehals, I was also going to purge it and reinstall but I have 100s of filters, actions, address book entries that I don't want to nuke and have to replace [01:15] can anyone tel lme how to get the latest version of svn? please and thank you [01:15] hi guys, whens the next release of ubuntu? [01:15] nightrid3r: wake on lan how is that triggered ... [01:15] sebsebseb: my plan is to blow away this dual boot and tell ubuntu to completely take over [01:16] killuats: end of April [01:16] b1n42y its all in the nic hardware [01:16] clueneeded: yes [01:16] Frijolie1 - close claws, open a terminal, as yourseld move claws config dir (mv .claws-mail/ .claws-mail.bak). Just as a point, a reinstall or even purge wont get rid of your users settings in ~ anyway. [01:16] clueneeded: well do the partitions correctly on the Live CD, if you haven't done so already [01:16] darkhelmetlive: can I access the fileserver over the internet? [01:16] sebsebseb, whats its called? [01:16] clueneeded: I mean do stuff properly before you install, easier that way [01:16] corey: just use some low power setup then. there's not really any nice ways around it. if you're not going to leave the server on 24/7 it's not really a server, and just another computer you turn on and off [01:16] nightrid3r: ... do i access that ip via ssh and it turns on or ... if you dont know say i dont know [01:16] does anyone here use gfxboot to boot ubuntu? [01:16] Frijolie1 - although if that doesn't work a reinstall may be warranted (your settigs will be safe though...) [01:16] sebsebseb: what is your advice on deviding up a 40 meg drive? [01:16] killuats: Jaunty [01:16] Jackelope [01:17] sebsebseb: how muvh per section? [01:17] corey: you could with ssh/scp, but again, pointless unless it's on 24/7 [01:17] clueneeded: pm me now, it's easier to chat like that now, since already in a pm with someone, plus all this other channel stuff [01:17] sebsebseb, thanks. :) [01:17] Frijolie1 - back in a mo. [01:17] b1n42y i think you have to send a wakeup packet, google for it to be sure [01:17] k [01:17] darkhelmetlive: thats why i was interested in the wake on lan feature [01:17] <_VIM_> its apt-cache policy [01:18] <_VIM_> ... [01:18] my time does not seem to stick. Its strange. How do I fix that? [01:18] it keeps reverting back an hour [01:18] if i install 8.10 now, is there a way to upgrade to 9.04? [01:18] corey: well to wakeonlan, you need some system on your internal network on 24/7. also my experience with WOL is that stuff just turns on randomly when you don't want it to [01:18] like daylight savings x 2 [01:18] corey: so if you need something on 24/7 anyway, why not just make that your server [01:18] Hey guys. Is there any way to make an external drive always mount in the same place? At the moment it keeps changing between /media/disk and /media/disk-1 when I remove it and add it back in. I just want it to pick 1 and stick with it [01:19] <_VIM_> !fstab | denstark [01:19] denstark: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [01:19] urthmover: is the clock reading "later" as in it's really 8 now but it's reading 10? [01:19] does anyone here use gfxboot to boot ubuntu? [01:19] Thanks _VIM_ [01:19] darkhelmetlive: Other than torrents what else would be a reason to leave it on 24/7? [01:19] darkhelmetlive : if stuff turns on randomly... you are doing it wrong. [01:20] denstark: use gparted to name it.. [01:20] corey: well mine is a webserver, so there's reason no 1 for me [01:20] corey: also mine is dns/dhcp so my network is useless without it [01:21] I run i915 video driver, is there any way to get screen resolution higher than 1280x800 ? [01:21] ok "backed up" ./claws-mail, uninstalled claws and reinstalled it [01:21] no it was reading 7 till I ran a sudo ntpdate sudo ntpdate north-america.pool.ntp.org [01:21] ajehals: there's not too much to screw up...the machine in question was a windows machine, and i just enable it in the BIOS/windows device manager, and it just started sometimes.... [01:21] darkhelmetlive: what is a reason that you would want a DNS server in a home network? [01:21] can anyone tell me how ic an get the latest version of svn PLEASE [01:21] Scunizi: sudo ntpdate north-america.pool.ntp.org fixes it but next time I turn around it seems to go back an hour [01:22] ajehals, ok "backed up" ./claws-mail, uninstalled claws and reinstalled it, now putting in my mail settings [01:22] _VIM_, thanks I'll try that [01:22] anyone? [01:22] Frijolie1 - whoa - wait one. [01:22] joanki123 sudo apt-get install svn-server [01:22] corey: i want to be able to use names instead of ip address and i have a domain name with various hosts, and i wanted the network to work properly, hence dns [01:22] sebsebseb: yay thanks, i got it working [01:22] Frijolie1 - Have you checked that **without** your settings that your nN problem is gone? [01:23] darkhelmetlive: Why cant you just use an external DNS server? I think all ISPs let you use one of theirs [01:23] corey: not for my internal hosts [01:23] ajehals, I meant by "settings", mail server, ISP username etc [01:23] corey: the dns server is for my internal network, not the outside world [01:23] corey - DNS also gives you a certain amount of flexibility if you have a number of internal clients, plus, your ISP won't let you add your internal machines to any of their zones... [01:24] Frijolie1 - OK. Just checking.... [01:24] When installing adobe flash player, it asks for directory with mozilla. /../../../usr/lib/mozilla isn't working. Why? [01:25] corey if they did i'd try to set microsoft.com to 127.0.0.1 :) === Darnn is now known as Darn [01:25] corey - as in, my home network has 12 nodes, a couple of network printers, and some other things that need web access, it's easier to add a DNS and DHCP server than manage a hosts file accross all of them. [01:25] darkhelmetlive: In my networking class I do alot of ping commands. My workstation is running microsoft server 2k3. Can I add software to it that would allow me to type "ping andrew" instead of "ping x.x.x.x"? [01:25] When installing adobe flash player, it asks for directory with mozilla. /../../../usr/lib/mozilla isn't working. Why? Do I need different syntax? [01:25] hey guys, does anyone here have experience with hybrid-ircd on Ubuntu? please send me a message. having some issues with my IRC server [01:26] corey, add an entry to your hosts file for the IP. [01:26] ajehals, hmmm my 'n's are back! [01:26] corey if you take a look at /etc/hosts, the syntax is fairly simple. [01:26] ajehals, what could have caused that? [01:26] bigmb: Why not just install a .deb or just enable multiverse and use synaptic package manger to install flash? [01:26] Frijolie1 - erm.... absolutley no idea. [01:27] ajehals, do I dare restore the .claws-mail.bak? [01:27] Frijolie1 - do it, if it stays nice, then the reinstall fixed it, if it breaks the problem is within your settings. [01:28] bigmb: Ubuntu -- Package Search Results -- flash You want the Flashplugin-nonfree [01:28] !font [01:28] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?

[01:29] how do i set my apache to serve on a different port then 80 ? does htttpd.conf does that? [01:29] darkhelmetlive: I know how to program HTML. How do I put a website on the internet? [01:29] ajehals, AHHH!! my filters, address book, and stuff is gone! [01:29] dreamnid yes [01:29] redvamp128: tyvm :) [01:29] hi, can someone point me to the mono-vbnc package for Intrepid? It is NOT in the repos, and I need it [01:29] ajehals, oh well at least I have my "n"s back. [01:29] Frijolie1 - you backed up your .claws-mail folder didn't you? [01:29] hi,good night, somebody had sucess in compiling the new aptitude? I did everething required, i think it may be a mercurial problem, someone else tried? [01:30] and I don't feel like upgrading to an alpha version of Jaunty at this time [01:30] nightrid3r: can i leave the line... localhost like that .. "localhost" ? [01:30] Frijolie1, and then copied it back? [01:30] ajehals, yeah. I just did a mv .claws-mail.bak .claws-mail [01:30] darkhelmetlive: I know how to program HTML. How do I put a website on the internet? [01:30] nightrid3r: i mean do i have to type something instead of local host [01:30] ajehals, the uninstall must have wiped them [01:30] hi... ho do I create a link between directories? [01:30] corey: u need a webhost [01:30] corey: well to make life easy you can just add things to the hosts file. as for hosting a website, you need a 24/7 server running apache or something [01:31] dreamy you only have to change the port in httpd.conf [01:31] which program is popular for VNC alternative right now [01:31] nightrid3r: ok thanks [01:31] i forgot the name of it [01:31] I want a shortcut to a different folder [01:31] darkhelmetlive: is apache an OS? [01:31] from command line [01:31] dreamy http://localhost:portnumber [01:31] corey: apache is an http server software package [01:31] <_VIM_> orudie: x11vnc is pretty nice [01:31] Frijolie1, do me a favour, jump into your .claws-mail folder and do a quick du -h and paste the output into a pastebin. [01:31] corey: so you'd have to learn to configure that [01:32] nightrid3r: yes ok [01:32] can someone help me find an Ubuntu package for mono-vbnc? It is NOT in the Intrepid repos, and I don't feel like upgrading to an alpha version of Jaunty [01:32] what is pastebin? [01:32] darkhelmetlive: does that mean I cant use ubuntu server edition to host a web page? [01:32] jinxed--: ln -s /folder/to/link /where/to/linkit [01:32] !pastebin [01:32] 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) [01:32] corey: no....apache is a package in ubuntu [01:32] corey: i am running apache on ubuntu to host many things [01:32] corey: php, ruby, etc [01:32] corey http://howtoforge.org/perfect-server-ubuntu-8.10 [01:33] moreover, the Mono developers seem to have shirked responsibility on this over to Ubuntu [01:33] corey: or that link [01:33] thank you ubottu :] [01:33] ajehals, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/130007/ [01:33] is there a separate channel for Jaunty? [01:33] darkhelmetlive: On a 100mbps network what kind of transfer speeds can i expect? [01:34] nightrid3r: actualy.. i meant the line with localhost typed in at httpd.conf ... lol [01:34] corey: it depends on your ISP [01:34] <_VIM_> !jaunty | Quinn_Storm [01:34] Quinn_Storm: 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. [01:34] Is there some secret to getting itunes to recognize my ipod in virtualbox? [01:34] ajehals, wait, the directory names are messed up [01:34] hey, ty [01:34] dreamy just scroll down till you see 80 [01:34] darkhelmetlive: the fileserver is going to also be on a LAN. What kind of speeds can i expect on my network. not the cloud [01:34] Hi! My keyboard and mouse freezes in Intrepid. I have located bug fixes but I don't understand how to implement them. I tried reinstalling xserver but it didn't work (it said it already is updated). I want to try to change my GDM runlevel (whatever that is) but I don't know how. [01:34] <_VIM_> lufis: you're not using the ose version of virtualbox are you? [01:35] okey nightrid3r [01:35] _VIM_: nope, closed source version [01:35] corey: fairly decent speeds. [01:35] <_VIM_> lufis: hmm not sure then [01:35] Frijolie1 - see what went wrong? you moved .claws-mail.bak into the .claws-mail folder claws created when it started. [01:35] darkhelmetlive: 10MBps? [01:35] corey if you need fileservers dns apache ,..... look at ebox-platform [01:35] ajehals, right...so how do i fix it? [01:36] corey: yeah around that [01:36] I'm trying to figure out how vulnerable is a system if accidently someone enters a jailed user account. user's home (where is he chrooted) is non-exec from fstab [01:36] _VIM_: I checked the itunes help and it was completely useless. It was showing screenshots that looked absolutely nothing like itunes [01:36] anyway i can transferr my synaptic to another computer with ubuntu 8.10 so I don't have to install all the apps again? [01:36] ok can someone help me with ubuntu [01:36] corey: it depends on hard drive speeds too, and other things, but the speed is decent [01:36] fearful: APTGet [01:36] hello? can someone help me find an mono-vbnc package for Intrepid? The developers seem to have forgotten it, and I need it [01:36] im new and dont know what tro download etc [01:36] or am I going to be continually ignored? [01:36] again? [01:36] BornSlippy, little more detail, I've never done this [01:37] ajehals, just remove the .bak ext? [01:37] I keep gettin a corrupt kernel message trying to install 8.10 tried burning different copies at slowest rate and still having issues... any thoughts? [01:37] Frijolie1 - go into .claws-mail, then 'mv .claws-mail.bak /home/<>' where the username is your home directory... That will put .claws-mail.bak into your home [01:37] fearful: sorry, APTonCD ... http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ [01:37] darkhelmetlive: I am going to have RAID 5's and such. my fastest drives are 54MBps but, IDK about my others [01:37] Frijolie1 - once you have done that give me a shout. [01:37] TIP: I discovered a nice adition for gimp: GIMP Paint Studio or simply GPS, also, check out FX-Foundry too [01:37] fearful: I used it yesterday to transfer stuff to a non-internet Ubuntu install and it worked perfectly [01:38] I guess I'm just going to be ignored [01:38] BornSlippy, nice just what I was looking for thanks so much! [01:38] fearful: Glad to help :D [01:38] Frijolie1 - that last thing i posted <> syould be your home directory, so it should read /home/ [01:38] BornSlippy, do you know if I can get it on USB or its got to be CD [01:38] so can someone help me with ubuntu? [01:38] <_VIM_> lufis: yeah I think there's an artical or two on http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/itunes [01:38] Frijolie1 - does that make sense? [01:39] Hi, can lvm use files instead of device nodes? I'd like to create a couple of temporary files on a USB Fat32 disk and bundle them together for an ext2 filesystem. The problem is that the USB disk does not support > 2G files [01:39] fearful: USB I think so... I used it on CD. I don't think it makes much of a difference though. [01:39] BornSlippy, great! [01:39] ajehals, I see now what I did. I viewed it in Nautilus [01:39] Frijolie1 - oh yeah, you could just move it in nautilus [01:39] ajehals, I doubled the directories instead of overwrote them [01:39] fearful: Just give it a try :D [01:40] My keyboard and mouse freezes in Intrepid. I have located bug fixes but I don't understand how to implement them. I tried reinstalling xserver but it didn't work (it said it already is updated). I want to try to change my GDM runlevel (whatever that is) but I don't know how. [01:40] Frijolie1 - just please be careful with that .bak folder. [01:40] please, can someone help me with my stupid Mono problem? I've been waiting patiently, but my patience has a limit [01:40] Frijolie1 - and close claws if you have it open. [01:40] hi, i'm running ubuntu jaunty... looking for an app (or plugin for an already installed app) that can slow down the playback of mp3s [01:40] dreamy http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?t=20376 [01:40] ajehals, d'oh! now that it's fixed. I aint gots no n's [01:40] can anyone help me use two sound cards at once [01:40] darkhelmetlive: How do I get a domain name? === newbie is now known as hellbent [01:40] rappo: audacity [01:40] jdsbluedevl: Maybe you should consider paying for support, then [01:40] This has been driving me nuts and google fails at searching for "at", how does one say cause cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp to happen using at for say 6am [01:40] Laibsch: lol, I'm only one person, not a company [01:41] ajehals, and by saying 'fixed' i mean restored to original [01:41] hi [01:41] !cron > chimp_ [01:41] chimp_, please see my private message [01:41] Frijolie1 - thats not altogether bad. At least you don't have to supply a really off bug report to the claws devs.... [01:41] jdsbluedevl: And why does that entitle you to anything? [01:41] jdsbluedevl: thanks ... dont suppose there's just a plugin for like totem or something though? ill check otu audacity [01:41] I looked at cron howto, no at reference [01:41] Frijolie1 - now, the error is unlikley to be in your mailboxes, address books or filters so.... [01:42] I would just like some help for once in a while, that's all, not to get into a flame-fest, which I seem to be doing right now [01:42] I only want a quick way to set an alarm, in the past ive used sleep then some time, but thats crap, i want noise at time but no luck [01:42] Frijolie1 - let me just take a look how claws stores its settings. back in a mo. [01:42] Is there a type of RAID that will spread my data out accross several diffently sized drives to minimize impact incase of drive failure? [01:43] ajehals, thank you sooo much for attempting to help [01:43] corey same sized drives are key to a raid setup [01:44] again, I'm asking if anyone knows where I can find an Intrepid build of mono-vbnc. With 1,338 people in the room, shouldn't be THAT hard [01:44] corey: you can use raid 5, if you have an 80gb 80gb and say 120gb, it will use the lowest size drive [01:44] chimp_ a GUI will do? Or you're looking for a daemon/CLI app? [01:44] jdsbluedevl, im sure if anyone knew, they would answer [01:44] yeah [01:44] g0nad: will I be able to use the left over space [01:44] corey: no [01:44] <_VIM_> 1300 and of that 1100 are idling and AFK sleeping/working [01:45] <_VIM_> or more [01:45] Frijolie1 - np - what I need you to do for me now, is jump into a terminal again (sorry, I am more comfortable this way...) go into your .claws-mail folder and do a quick 'ls' - dump the output into a pastebin again. Looking at the output of du, it looks like you are missing some config files, although why that would cause your problem I don't know... [01:45] g0nad: why cant the left over space be used as a normal partition? [01:45] !netsplit [01:45] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [01:45] g0nad: maybe, but I'd like know why the developers forgot to put it in the repos [01:45] corey: just can't, dunno specifics === ben is now known as Guest69426 [01:46] cli for ip address? [01:46] Frijolie1 - still with us? [01:46] and Mono developers aren't helping much, either. Heck, first thing the did was send me right back here! [01:46] anyone know why I can't ssh to my local lan from my work network, though I can ssh to my local lan when I remote connect to my work network (gra)? [01:46] kernel_script: No app just ease of use, as i said in the past ive just said ie, sleep 300m ; cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp but i want to execute at a time [01:46] ajehals, no problem. I need to learn more cli (I'm very rusty and still a n00b) [01:46] b1n42y ifconfig. [01:46] !ip [01:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about ip [01:46] My keyboard and mouse freezes in Intrepid.

[01:48] g0nad: I have 3 80gb 2 250gb and 2 160gb that I want to use. What is the best configuration? [01:48] ajehals, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/130011/ [01:48] corey: i would raid the 3 80's together, raid 5, then raid the 2 160's and a 250 in a raid 5, gonna lose alot of space though :/ [01:48] what about a sh script + cron? [01:48] or at least someone can tell me whether Jaunty a5 is stable enough to use for a moderately knowledgeable (not novice, but not a tech either) user [01:48] jdsbluedevl, : i just got done installing it, stable thus far (2hrz) [01:48] nightrid3r: i can make the web sever work for the oustside web :S [01:48] kernel_script: Nothing complex, I only want to delay a command, one line nothing to reuse [01:49] spigot, : you are using port 80 to ssh? [01:49] nightrid3r: i cant ... i mean [01:49] I want to wait for the Beta release, but if I need it for mono-vbnc, I guess I'll have to install it [01:49] quit [01:49] g0nad: as soon as i get a steady job i am going to purchase a terabyte or so [01:49] is > or | for a private ubottu msg [01:49] how can i find someone that speak italian?

I have located bug fixes but I don't understand how to implement them. I tried reinstalling xserver but it didn't work (it said it already is updated). I want to try to change my GDM runlevel (whatever that is) but I don't know how. [01:49] or so i thought [01:49] spigot: and you have the ssh daemon listening on port 80? [01:49] nightrid3r: let me check a conf file 1st [01:50] hello is there a way to restore a drive after formatting it ? I just made a huge mistake :( [01:50] yep' [01:50] ahh im too tired, back to using sleep [01:50] dreamy no, i need your outside ip [01:50] far too crude [01:50] jdsbluedevl: i would personally wait for its release, why so eager anyway ... ext4 ?

Making sure claws is closed, I suggest you remove (well rename) your current claws config files. however, first lets back everything up again in case things go wrong. If you could *copy* .claws-mail to .claws-mail.bak and get back to me, I'll tell you which config files to rename. - brb smoke [01:50] and right now it's only in the jaunty repo [01:50] yes [01:50] !it > daniele_ [01:50] daniele_, please see my private message [01:50] hi friends [01:50] anybody please [01:50] 8o´-[[~ç [01:50] because somebody forgot to put it in the Intrepid repo [01:50] hi friends [01:50] nightrid3r: i know .. i just want to check a conf file first to check a port [01:51] Hello, what is a good way to become active in open source?

[01:53] ajehals, ready when you are [01:53] do we get a loopback audio device or do we need to recompile kernel for that? [01:54] g0nad: i think i will just ditch the 80gb drives and RAID 5 the 160's and 250's [01:54] "aloop" module looks quite missing [01:54] "Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family" where can I find drivers for this graphics card? all my games in Ubuntu with openGL run slow. I tried System->Administrator->Hardware Drivers but no luck [01:54] corey: that would give you around 320gb [01:54] g0nad: by the time I fill those up I will be able to purchase a few dozen tb [01:54] LordKenTheGreat: Also, report Bugs, it's help a lot [01:55] g0nad: that would give me 480gb [01:55] Depressed: turn off desktop effects for starters [01:55] g0nad: unfortunately not... raid 5 uses parity for redunadancy, meaning you essentially lose a drive [01:55] how can I make ubuntu more like windows 7? [01:55] Can I somehow have ethernet and wlan connected at the same time? [01:55] g0nad: Storage capacity *(N-1) [01:56] i have a big problem with my eeepc 1000 h after istalling ubuntu, who can help me?? [01:56] corey: i have no idea what that is suppose to mean [01:56] daniele_: perhaps someone can if you say what the problem is [01:56] !ask | daniele_ [01:56] what kind of problem dandel ? [01:56] daniele_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:56] * daniele_ [01:57] i have installed ubuntu on a usb [01:57] then i make it start [01:57] i made a partition [01:57] I want to change my GDM runlevel but I don't know how. Please help me. [01:57] ... so much for one line [01:57] !enter | daniele_ [01:57] daniele_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:57] but the partition operation doesn't goes [01:57] so i restart [01:57] Frijolie1 - OK, jump back into your .claws-mail directory (not the backup) and rename the following: clawsrc menurc clawsrc.bak to .old (so clawsrc becomes clawsrc.old, clawsrc.bak becomes clawsrc.bak.old etc..) [01:57] but now notingh goes [01:57] <_VIM_> b1n42y: yeah sadly people think IRC=MSN and start typing like 2 words per line [01:58] Just a quick question: what is the process gnome uses to draw the desktop (please don't be nautilus *crosses fingers*)? [01:58] BornSlippy, one sec [01:58] is there something inherently wrong with ssh'ing on port 80 [01:58] ? [01:58] g0nad: yay :D [01:59] spigot, provided yer company hasn't deployed a proxy [01:59] spigot - its nonstandard, but there is no reason why you cant... [01:59] spigot: isnt that a www port [01:59] does anyone know how I could confirm in gtk-gnutella that TLS encryption is enabled (default) ? === L is now known as Guest90276 [01:59] Is there a program for drawing Graphs (edges & vertices)? [01:59] spigot - unless you are running a web server of course. [01:59] yes, i'm trying to get around my companies firewall policies..... [01:59] i'll have to look into the proxy settings [01:59] oops. I was supposed to ask that in ##gnome... [02:00] spigot - you might have issues with that anyway, esp if they do any packet inspection. === cafuego_ is now known as cafuego [02:00] probably. thanks for the info! [02:01] my problem: i try to install ubuntu from usb, when i was doing disk partition, i thought that partition was blocked so shutdown to restart, now my pc doesn't restart. what can i do? [02:01] any other suggestions on how I can poke through to my home network behind a pretty tight firewall at work? [02:02] daniele_ : what do you mean with "doesn't restart"? [02:02] It doesn't boot anything? [02:02] BornSlippy, see if this helps ---> www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html [02:02] i click on f2 to chose how make it start [02:02] but it says " error reading disk" [02:02] g0nad: yes I was looking at that one, my brain started melting after the first paragraph.. I'll try again [02:02] so it boots the usb stick? [02:03] BornSlippy, what are you trying to do? boot without gui? [02:03] i try to start fron usb and from hd, but always the same: error reading disk [02:04] spigot, you can do ssh over port 80 === samitheb1rber is now known as samitheberber [02:04] daniele_ recreate the usb stick? [02:04] gotcha i have done [02:04] spigot - DNS related ports tend to be generally open on firewalls (although not the ones I manage..) you might try something along those lines. although frankly it'll be a case of trial and error to see what works. Having said that, has your employer got an IDS deployed? [02:04] any one know why the nvidia drivers ubuntu has is behind the official release from the nvidia site? === Bruners_ is now known as Bruners [02:05] Frijolie1 - how are you getting on? [02:05] daniele_: you checked the DM5SUM for the USB stick ISO? [02:05] daniele_ tried fixmbr? [02:05] or a liveCD? [02:05] *MD5SUM [02:05] ajehals, spigot i think that some port 80 secure (ssl) connection type would do the trick [02:05] g0nad: no, my keyboard and mouse freeze after x amount of use, and I'm trying to figure out a solution. I found one place that suggested I could change the gdm runlevel to 25 and it might solve the problem. I have no idea why, but I don't have any better ideas. [02:05] wish I knew... i'll follow up with my friends in the is group tomorrow [02:05] what??????????????? [02:05] spigot, i mean port 443 [02:05] let me rephrase that: what process draw the gnome wallpaper? [02:05] ajehals, sorry I was AFK...renaming config files now [02:05] b1n42y: how do I turn these desktop effects off? [02:05] rdw200169 - depends on how they handle ssl traffic... [02:05] 443, got it [02:06] itacious, i think its nautilus, but i'm not sure [02:06] drat. [02:06] how do I turn off all the glitz in ubuntu? [02:06] gotcha i prepare usb as before, but now it doen't goes. [02:06] thanks, rdw200169. [02:06] thanks all! [02:06] BornSlippy, do you have a link to that post? === epictArd is now known as HIjustme [02:06] ajehals, spigot yeah, as long as the connection related traffic *looks* like something normal, i doubt they would notice it in an IDS [02:06] how can i restart windows? is it possible or i have loose all? [02:06] ajehals, spigot especially if the reverse DNS comes back clean [02:07] Can anyone help, when i have exaile or any other music app running, i cant hear any other sounds on firefox etc [02:07] understood... appreciate it [02:07] g0nad: looking for it now, one second. .. it was in launchpad somewhere [02:07] daniele_ you have got a winxp cd? [02:07] spigot, ajehals its doubtful that their firewall/IDS solution is scrubbing layer 7 traffic === jerry_ is now known as Guest44312 [02:07] BornSlippy, ok [02:08] hi [02:08] no is an eeepc ther is not a cd rom part [02:08] does anyone know a good program to design relational databases? [02:08] gotcha i have no a cd rom reader in that pc [02:08] g0nad: this is similar https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/gdm/+bug/271138 [02:08] ajehals, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/130015/ [02:08] spigot, if you've got some time, you could set up an openvpn type server on your home side running on port 443, that, or you could go the easy way and use openssh-server [02:08] BornSlippy, ok, im going to look @ it now [02:09] gotcha to chose from where let pc start i have to click on f2 and to go to boot right? [02:09] Can anyone help, when i have exaile or any other music app running, i cant hear any other sounds on firefox etc and vice versa.. [02:09] can someone point me to a decent c++ IDE that installs with ubuntu [02:09] who knows how to grab the audio output and connect it to input? I would rather not use an iffy sound daemon like Jack [02:09] daniele_ dunno, don't have any experience with an eeepc, sorry [02:09] openvpn immediately blocked from the work side [02:10] g0nad: thanks. The gdm thing I think is if the keyboard and mouse freezes at login though. That's not the case for me. I tried poking around with xorg but I didn't really get anywhere. I tried reinstalling it but couldn't, it just said "already updated" [02:10] since alsa is using DMIX isn't there somewhere in the kernel, it's ridiculous if we can't get an interface to it [02:10] Frijolie1 - good man. Now if you open claws, most of your settings should still be in place, claws should recreate a fresh config file for itself and I suggest you check your N's [02:10] what is my default gateway IP address? is it the internally broadcast IP of the router, or is it the externally broadcast IP? also, how owuld i find that in intrepid? [02:10] gotcha can i know if my operations are correct? [02:11] Cotowar_, run 'ip route' in the terminal. the line containing the word 'default' also contains the gateway IP [02:11] rdw200169 - Well, if they have parimiter anti-virus installed then it may be reasembled and inspected, [02:11] okay thanks [02:12] rdw200169 after all complete control of the PC (and so CA Certs), DNS and everything else makes a lot of things possible that normally wouldn't be. [02:12] g0nad: thanks. The gdm thing I think is if the keyboard and mouse freezes at login though. That's not the case for me. I tried poking around with xorg but I didn't really get anywhere. I tried reinstalling it but couldn't, it just said "already updated" [02:12] ajehals, you mean at his work site? [02:13] rdw200169 yeah. [02:13] is it possible to upgrade a RAID 5 array? [02:13] how has an eeepc 1000 h????????????????? [02:13] ajehals, i would not work for a company that forced me to use a terminal that was under that sort of monitoring [02:13] corey: what would you upgrade to? [02:14] rdw200169, happily, most people don't care, plus, in some environments it makes sense. [02:14] ajehals, neither, then, would I do anything at work (if I absolutely had to use their terminals) that involived anything personal, like checking e-mail or bank accounts, etc... [02:14] ajehals, that restored my n's but I lost my filters, contacts, etc again [02:14] cotowar_ : If I had 3 250gb drives and wanted to add a fourth would it be difficult? [02:15] Frijolie1 - erm, let me look into that, it shouldn't have. One moment. [02:15] you would have to re-format the array. the array is set to stripe to 3, and yo uare trying to add a fourth. its the same as in RAID 0 for your purposes [02:15] rdw200169 - No, nor would I. [02:15] ajehals, it even nuked my mail server, and account settings [02:15] When my machine boots up, it stalls on my 'external' usb slots, which show up as devices/places but have nothing in them; how do i stop ubuntu from loading them at start :D [02:16] Frijolie1 - funny, I thought that was in the accountrc. [02:16] Cotowar_ : does that mean that I cant keep my data? [02:16] Gartral2: To answer your question there is a package 180.35 for jaunty which is based on a beta package -- I think that each driver is based on kernels and the latest may not be compatible with yours. The "latest" official driver is 180.29, [02:16] ajehals, that would have made sense [02:16] corey: you would have to move data off those drives before raiding them, it will initialize them [02:17] g0nad: thanks. The gdm thing I think is if the keyboard and mouse freezes at login though. That's not the case for me. I tried poking around with xorg but I didn't really get anywhere. I tried reinstalling it but couldn't, it just said "already updated" [02:17] redvamp128: not for the MX 440 [02:17] g0nad: thats just wonderfull... [02:17] Frijolie1 Frijolie1 - OK close Claws again, rename those files back for the moment and then open claws again to check everything is back as it was (if not, you have a backup). Claws will have created new files for those you renamed, just delete them, or overwrite them when you copy your files back. [02:17] hello everyone [02:17] 180.29 is for them fancy high end cards, ain't it? lol [02:17] anyone knows how can I disable a usb device? [02:18] if i have a router that is set to do DHCP, and assigns IP addys from 1 to 100, can i still connect if i have a static IP outside that range, like 101 for example? [02:18] Cotowar_, generally, yes [02:18] XeKtRuM: do you mean brick it, or unmount it? [02:18] Cotowar_, but, if you're using DHCP, why assign an IP statically? that kind of defeats the point of DHCP [02:18] does ubuntu come with the ability to burn ISO's? [02:18] Gartral2: That would fall under the Legacy (I have the GF4 MX4000) and drivers for that one are based on the 96 series. which is built for that set of cards (Nvidia drivers do not work like that of windows) where one is built for all cards. [02:19] corey, yes [02:19] corey: sure [02:19] Jeruvy, heemm the thing is that i want to disable a game controler cause its acting as a mouse [02:19] hi, I was helping a friend install Ubuntu on his iMac (a newer one, that carries an Intel chip), and I fell short of answers. Apparently there's a thing called "reFIt" - I was actually thinking that it was a bootloader.. but GRUB seemed to be running, so I suppose not. Anyway, is rEFIt something that I can survive without, or is it something I necessarily need while putting Ubuntu on an imac? [02:19] I just right click the iso? [02:19] corey: yes, and select Burn to Disc [02:20] Gartral2: Since Nvidia drivers are closed source, we are basically at their mercy. [02:20] ok thanks guys! I will be back when I mess up my new server... === kalpik_ is now known as kalpik === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix_da_catz [02:21] BornSlippy, see if this helps http://stackoverflow.com/questions/78408/how-do-i-change-default-runlevel-in-ubuntu [02:21] When my machine boots up, it stalls on my 'external' usb slots, which show up as devices/places but have nothing in them; how do i stop my machine from loading them at start >.> [02:21] LogicFan: my router supports port forwarding, and also has a firewall as many do. I am the only linux machine, and have firestarter to protect me, as well as a different kernel. all the other computers are WinXP, and have no/little protection. [02:21] i want to put myself outside the firewall while still protecting the others. I can use the DMZ, but it blocks all the other computers from accessing the internet. [02:21] BornSlippy, : check out bottom post [02:21] BornSlippy: you don't want to change default runlevels. What are you trying to achieve? [02:22] Cotowar_, giving yourself a static IP isn't going to put you into a DMZ. [02:22] LogicFan - no but it means he can port forward to a known host. [02:22] Cotowar_, most routers let you assign specific ports or ips to use DMZ [02:22] Cotowar_ - seems sensible to me. [02:22] g0nad, tritium: my keyboard and mouse freeze apparently randomly after I use Intrepid for a while. I just provoked the error now and I'm trying ctrl alt F1 and backend to no avail [02:22] g0nad: thanks! [02:23] !runlevels | BornSlippy [02:23] BornSlippy: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [02:23] tritium: I found a post talking about changing from runlevel 40 to 25, which might solve the issue [02:24] BornSlippy: there are no such runlevels. [02:24] tritium: he means priorities i believe [02:24] He does. [02:24] g0nad: that would make more sense [02:24] gonad, tritium: that might be :D [02:24] hello [02:24] the thing is that that priority thing apparently unlocks the keyboard and mouse freeze when it occurs at login [02:25] it is my hope they will solve the problems even when I'm logged in because I don't know what else to do [02:25] anyone knows how can i disable a game controler (joystick) ??? [02:25] I found some other posts talking about x-something (video) and reinstalling it, which might solve it [02:25] using intrepid, i'm experiencing some strange networking issues where net addresses will resolve, but i get no ping responses [02:25] BornSlippy - esentially you are telling something to start earlier, so it may solve your problem, what is it you are changing the priority of? [02:26] alehals: I just want my keyboard and mouse to work :( so I guess the gdm thing is not relevant then, if they work at login [02:26] ajehals, sorry [02:26] i've had it in both kubuntu and ubuntu on the same machine, but i guess they have the same network management stuff in the background [02:27] BornSlippy - you rkeyboard and mouse work at login, but not once the desktop has loaded? [02:27] okay, im trying to get this computer a static IP while keeping DHCP for the other ones. i did the ip route, and have the info there, but what do i do with it? [02:27] ajehals: they work for a while then stop working. The computer works fine, but the input just dies. [02:27] and do i have to do fiddling with the router itself? [02:28] I have 32-bit intrepid installed on my amd64. I am having troubles with pulseaudio and firefox/flash. I reinstalled flashsupport-nonfree and flashsupport-nonfree-extrasound. Totem can play a sound file through pulseaudio, but youtube doesn't have any sound. Any ideas? [02:28] bornslippy what kind of keyboard and mouse do you have [02:28] this is with forcedeth and it did seem in kubuntu that taking the interface down and bringing it back up again managed to get it going again [02:28] ajehals: I've tried finding a pattern to the input-death but I can't detect one - with or without properitary gpu drivers, with our without this or that... I found several posts talking about poking at xorg to fix it, but I don't know how to do that [02:29] stormchas2000: ps2 [02:29] Goldfisch: tried alsa? [02:29] BornSlippy - I suggest looking in your log's (syslog and messages in /var/log) to see what, if anything happens at the time of the crash. also, does ctrl+alt+bkspace still kill the X-server when everything has locked up? [02:29] ok I had a similar problem with a wireless keybaord and mouse [02:29] ajehals: ctrl alt backspace doesn't do anything, neither does ctrl alt F1 [02:30] I read some online help guides, that basically were pointed at disabling pulse audio. It seems you can't outright uninstall it. Are you saying disable pulse audio, or just configure the sound settings to use alsa. [02:30] ajehals: if I restart the computer now, will you help me interpret the log? [02:30] BornSlippy - yeah, I have about 20 minutes or so (02:30 here...) [02:31] ok one second [02:31] I know there are some pulse audio plugins that are supposed to integrate with alsa, helping older apps talk to the new system. However, I can't remember what that package was called. [02:31] Goldfisch: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio ? [02:32] running dapper drake liveCD, it doesn't come with JRE plugin so i downloaded JRE into my usb disk, now how do i tell firefox (1.5.0.3) to use that JRE? i checked every menu but dont see way to do it [02:32] anyone here using crunch bang linux [02:32] stormchas2000: would you tell me a bit more? [02:32] hello [02:33] Goldfisch: you on hardy ? is so sudo apt-get install libflashsupport [02:33] malikyoda: try #ubuntu-offtopic. sometimes you find crashbangers there [02:33] where is brazil chat???? [02:33] Does anyone know how to fix the booter when you install windows after kubuntu? [02:33] any ideas?? [02:33] I'm running intrepid. [02:33] I'm looking for a C++ ide that I can use with it [02:33] Anyone? [02:33] paulo: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em portugu?s. Obrigado. [02:33] c++ ide? vim? [02:34] :P [02:34] zu22: you have to link the plugins to your firefox plugins folder. that's the only clue i can give now [02:34] * ajehals is back [02:34] ajehals: terminal is up and I'm logged into /var/log [02:34] syockit: oh, which file i edit to do that?

[02:35] Bornslippy there was a hardware conflict and so i ended up getting a different keyboard and mouse. u it seemed that since they used the same wireless hub it confused the system [02:35] BornSlippy - if you can get /var/log/syslog into a pastebin, that would be good. [02:35] i already have kubuntu installed [02:35] xavierg2003: I imagine you need to fix the master boot record [02:35] Okay, I just ran sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins "pulseaudio-*" paman padevchooser paprefs pavucontrol pavumeter, and it installed a few more modules. Relaunching firefox, and going to a youtube video, I get nothing. I have the Volume Control tool up on Playback, and see no apps listed. [02:35] stormchas2000: ahh.. well I'm going to try with USB input tomorrow (borrow from work) but since I have ps2 now I doubt there is a conflict like that :) [02:35] xavierg2003: you want to dual boot? [02:36] ajehals: I don't know the commands to do that *blush* [02:36] Indeed. i have 10 g partiotioned for it [02:36] getting to /var/log took all my skill unfortunately :s [02:36] i am installin winblows xp on it [02:36] BornSlippy yeah I think you are right there [02:36] !dualboot | xavierg2003 [02:36] xavierg2003: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [02:37] xavierg is talking dirty :) [02:37] Goldfisch: hmm dont know try reading about the patches? [02:37] that has instructions for installing after windows.... [02:37] hoe do i assign myself a static IP while allowing all the other computers in my network to have DHCP? [02:38] i need instructions in reverse [02:38] Cotowar: you might be able to reserve that IP on your router [02:38] how as an eeepc 1000 h? [02:38] xavierg2003: read the document ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot?action=show&redirect=WindowsDualBootHowTo#Installing%20Windows%20After%20Ubuntu [02:38] hola [02:38] Cotowar: or remove the lease expiration so that you always get the same IP from your router [02:38] necesito ayuda [02:38] xavierg2003: at least the index of it on the right hand side [02:38] Here is what bugs me. My desktop computer is running fine with all this stuff. I can hear youtube videos with no problem. They are both runniing 32-bit intrepid. However, my desktop is a 32-bit CPU. I thought this would be nothing. Maybe not so. [02:39] holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [02:39] necesito ayudaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [02:39] Question: I installed 8.10 and the nvidia 180.29 driver, rebooted and get black screen, break to console and startx and gui will come up and be usable. I can even enable compiz and it function, any ideas why it won't come up on boot? [02:39] BornSlippy - That's OK.... Best way to do it would be to copy your syslog as it is to your home directory (you need to do that as root) change permissions on it so you can read it, then open it with an editor... see http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/130022/ [02:39] Glenrock: DHCP assigns the lowest available address. if i get off the network, my address can be taken by another computer that connects. normally not a problem, but mom and dad work from home at night. [02:39] !es | SayaSanae [02:39] SayaSanae: 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. [02:39] SayaSanae: stop that [02:39] i found it. But if i enter dd if=/dev/hda of=/mbr.bin bs=512 count=1 will it back it up on my system? [02:39] I may have to do a real "dpkg -l" inspection between these two systems, and see that the same packages are installed. :/ [02:40] y como entro ahi?? [02:40] ese es el tema [02:40] nose como hacer :s [02:40] Goldfisch: same architecure installed? [02:40] glenrock: in otherwords, they may not be behind the routers firewall when they connect. it depends on the order in which we connect to the network [02:40] Cotowar: my router shows all DHCP leases, the mac address it is assigned to, and when the lease expires. i can set the lease to never expire [02:40] ahh, ok [02:40] then its over my head ;) [02:40] is there a PulseAudio "loopback" module? [02:41] Cotowar_ : DHCP does not assign the lowest possible IP address... depends on the DHCP server. [02:41] I really have no idea whAT I am doing and will probably break my computer but i suppose there is no better way to learn [02:41] Yeah. I have the i386 version installed on my amd64. This was triggered last year, when a kernel upgrade on amd64 release caused a kernel panic. I already had enough with 64bit java and flash, so I just jumped back to i386 ubuntu. [02:41] glenrock: all i want to do is put myself outside the firewall so i can download without restriction (aside from bandwidth), while they are still protected. [02:41] commits claim it was done back in 2006 but I can't find it [02:41] ok ajehals, I'll try to do it as fast as I can [02:42] Cotowar: i would assign myself an IP via DHCP, with a non-expiring lease, and then port-forward to that IP [02:42] BornSlippy - no major rush, I need to finish my coffee yet anyway. [02:42] glenrock - for a small network a static IP would make as much sense... [02:42] is unbuntu compatible with core i7? [02:43] did i loose you? [02:43] that's 3 years ago, it should surely be in Intrepid [02:43] glenrock: i tried that, but the thing is, if i disconnect, and they get on before me, they get the lower of the addresses. im usually the .2 address, but if dad comes home early say, he will get the .2 and i will get .3, meaning he is unprotected and i am not. [02:43] !hardware | Darn [02:43] Darn: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [02:43] ajehals: yep, both would work. doing it on the server side via dhcp would be less configuration on the workstation side [02:43] xavierg2003: you could also setup a virtual machine running whatever you run and play with that [02:43] Cotowar: not if the IP is linked to your mac address with no lease expiration [02:43] glenrock - and good practice on a larger network, but probably not on a small one. [02:44] xavierg2003: i recommend virtualbox non oss [02:44] Bornslippy, i just got of the phone with a freind, he said check all connections if anything is half pluged in especially a printer usb, it could cause this problem [02:44] if i use a virtual machine will i be able to play games on the added os? [02:44] glenrock - he should be getting the same IP again and again anyway, if not his DHCP server is.... a bit naff. [02:44] thats the only reason want windblows [02:44] i dont have the IP's linked to mac addresses [02:44] ajehals: exactly [02:44] xavierg2003: no [02:44] xavierg2003: i thought u had flash problems [02:44] so i have to dual boot [02:44] Cotowar: that's how DHCP works, it ties an IP to a mac address for a specified amount of time [02:44] ubottu: what dont you have a link for!!?? [02:44] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:44] oh dual boot ... [02:45] it just assigns the first available address to whoever connects. [02:45] xavierg2003: dual boot or wine [02:45] xavierg2003: id go dual boot [02:45] no flash problems. i tried using wine to run my games but it seems not to work [02:45] i know what i should be doing, but it is not doing that. that is my headache...lol [02:45] Cotowar_ some do, its just a bit of a poos implementation [02:45] I've got two users on my ubuntu server, they are both in the admin group. i want to create a group called 'coders', and add both users to it without knocking out the admin group in the process, what commands am i looking for [02:45] s/poos/poor [02:46] can one play a pulseaudio RTP stream via any other client? [02:46] ajehals: does the syntax matter in pastebin? [02:46] if i dual boot do i have to back up my grub onto a different devie or can i back it up to my machine [02:46] BornSlippy - no [02:46] ok done [02:46] Hey all, is there a SMART monitor program that has a GUI, like hdSentinal has on its windows version? [02:46] i have infinite leases, so i never get a new address if i leave and come back. the thing is, if i leave and someone gets on before i come back, they get my address. [02:46] my old address* [02:47] baxtor: gsmart control (yes it is in the repository) [02:47] im kinda new to ubuntu, does something periodically clean out /tmp ? [02:47] thankyou [02:47] baxtor: you do have to enable multiverse before it will show up. [02:47] .... maybe??? [02:47] right now i am 192.168.2.2. if i leave, and my dad connects, he will get the .2 address, and i will get 192.168.2.3. does that make sense? [02:48] ajehals: can you see it? I can't see it on this computer for some reason [02:48] Cotowar_: use a large lease time like a year or so [02:48] http://www.misterbg.org/AppleProductCycle/ was a fun read [02:48] its infinite. thats my point [02:48] i dont know why the hell its working like that [02:49] the lease never expires, or do i get a new lease if i leave and come back? [02:49] Cotowar_: you tell us, how is your dhcp server configured?

[02:58] Hey I think I messed up my permission scheme: for the /home folder the permissions should be Owner = Root can Create and Delete - // Group Root Create and Delete - // Others - - [02:58] Hi. I don't have a CDROM still wants to install Ubuntu. What's the most easy way to do this? I have a computer (LAN) and USB flash drive. I have tried to use the guide at help.ubuntu.com to install via USB stick, but the USB stick don't boot up [02:58] Is that correct? [02:59] etzerd you mean change it? [02:59] Salah, does your bios support usb booting? [02:59] salah: you might have to activate boot via USB in bios [02:59] Salah you may need to configure the bios [03:00] koshari: as you know Gnome doesn't have too much desktop wall paper, just a few. I just like to add some more to it [03:00] Did you change the boot order? you may have to enable usb drive for boot options [03:00] g0nad, yes, I have the choice to boot up via "removable drives" and "USB Cruiser Flash Drive" (which is the USB drive) [03:00] usually pressing f12 will bring up the boot options screen [03:00] Salah, : so you choose usb cruiser flash drive, then what happens? [03:00] edthefox: flash support for amd64 only came out with alpha release recently. Don't know current status of java. Last time I tried, I couldn't run eclipse very well. [03:00] etzerd right mouse button on desktop > change background > add [03:00] BornSlippy - it looks like compiz is crashing on you. [03:00] I get the usual error the BIOS gives that there is no drive to boot from [03:00] I plan on running a few odd apps like an as400/iSeries client for work. last distro I had installed on my machine was 7.10 then I went to vist. I have 6G of ram as was hoping to utilize it with x64 but I guess not yet eh? [03:01] ajehals: the error occurs with and without compiz [03:01] \Salah the usb device may not be bootable, [03:01] ajehals: that was the first thing I checked ... I ran a fresh install for some hours then it happened again [03:01] koshari: when I do that I believe there is only a few there maybe 5 or six and all of them are space wall paper === DF_Seek is now known as Guy_on_DF [03:01] edthefish: I had some kernel panic last year with hardy, and had to reload i386. It may have had something to do with me running root+raid+lvm, but I couldn't overcome it. Just too many quirks for me. I don't have enough memory in my system anyway. [03:01] koshari, I have made it bootable with UNetbootin like the guide said [03:01] ajehals: what about xorg? I saw several posts talking about a reinstall of it that solved issues [03:01] ln: creating symbolic link `./testfile': Permission denied [03:01] why is this [03:01] I like when I click add it can take me online to download more. just like I can do in KDE. [03:02] Err....edthefox! [03:02] heh [03:02] Salah i have had some usb devices work after prep with netbootin and some dont, [03:02] KDE allows you to download more wall paper online, where Gnome don't [03:02] Salah, so you used unetbootin to make the usb stick?

Now, compiz is segfaulting just before yoou reboot, so I guess that is the freeze, that could be a Xserver issue I suppose, or a driver problem. You said you already reinstalled compiz and swapped drivers.... so [03:04] ajehals: the freeze also occured on my fresh ubuntu install without compiz and propiertary graphics drivers [03:05] BornSlippy - OK... interesting. Lets see what else is going on. [03:05] what about trying to reinstall or reconfigure xserver or xorg, might that help? [03:05] Hi, someone helped me earlier and was awsome, I have another question before I make the switch and Havent found an answer on the web as of yet. On windows I use wampserver2 an all in one package for apache/php/mysql is there such a package for kubuntu or will I need to install these seperately on my own to create a local enviroment for web development? [03:05] BornSlippy - if it is happening on a fresh ubuntu instal it won't help you reinstalling the drivers. [03:05] koshari: there's only 7 of them there and there is no way I can add any more to it. because even if I clik add it doesn't give me any option either to import more wall paper from online. [03:05] BornSlippy - or your xserver [03:06] beardbar: there is, dont have the link for it sorry [03:06] beardbar, there is but i can't remember the name atm [03:06] beardbar: it's easier on kubuntu or ubuntu.. LAMP install.. in the right place.. one click and apache2, php, mysql is installed. [03:06] g0nad, yeah, and everything worked fine and I was asked for rebooting. But I think it's my USB drive that fucks up. The USB stick have a program with it that pops up and installs itself into Windows when pluging in. And when plugging in, it installs a fake CDROM to install the "U3 System" [03:07] maybe that's making it go wrong? [03:07] oh thats great news guys, i imagine i'll be able to find it in the package manager once I install. [03:07] beardbar: sudo tasksel, then choose LAMP [03:07] etzerd you download the image to a dir first then point to that dir and load the allpaper [03:07] flannel: ok thanks, i'll write that down [03:07] ajehals: so basically if we suppose it's a xserver problem (since neither of us appear to have any better ideas), how can I go about localizing the exact nature of the problem? I can reinstall Ubuntu again and run it fresh until it crashes, then take a note of the time, copy the log etc [03:07] beardbar: Just keep this page handy, it covers a number of ways: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [03:07] etzerd thats what the add button is for [03:09] Salah, i booted from one of those fine. i doubt U3 is the problem [03:09] yo my name is ching chang dont call me ding dang [03:09] BornSlippy - better idea. [03:09] ajehals - I'm all ears. Or eyes, I guess. [03:09] has anyone had any trouble with youtube on 8.10? [03:09] BornSlippy - looking at the rest of your syslog, there is something that keeps popping up that I haven't seen before [03:10] koshari: now the question become, can I add more to it from the internet just like I can do for KDE? [03:10] test test [03:10] BornSlippy - basically its the repeated entry of: APIC error on CPU0 [03:10] because KDE you can import more image from the net [03:10] ajehals: yes I looked it up online... I got a bunch of old posts that didn't make a lot of sense [03:10] kde sucks. use gnome desktop [03:10] ajehals - do you know what it means?

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [03:10] BornSlippy - a quick search throws up this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=278589 - which is old, but the symptoms look right... [03:11] S7UMPY: Please keep that sort of stuff to yourself. This certainly isn't the place [03:11] ajehals: I have an MSI motherboard.. [03:11] yeah kde is da bomb [03:11] :P [03:11] i think !opinion should say something else [03:11] !opinion [03:11] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [03:11] has anyone had any problems with youtube on ubuntu 8.10? [03:12] BornSlippy - you could try the instructions there, they should'nt harm anything, although keep a live CD available in case you can't boot (you can repair your menu.lst from a live session.) [03:12] my user, curt is in the group coders, but i want every file/directory created to be owned as curt:coders, currently its curt:curt, how do i accomplish this? .bashrc ? [03:12] BornSlippy - There is nothing else in the log that looks applicable (other than the compiz segfaults - but there is no indication as to why they are occuring...) [03:13] S7UMPY: yes, occasionally firefox won't load the flash plugin. Epiphany generally works better for me on youtube [03:13] hi all [03:13] ajehals: ok ajehals, you can go to bed now if you want :D thank you very much for your help, I'll look into what you found for me and hopefully I can work something out from that [03:13] curt, sudo chown -R curt:coders /directory [03:13] s7umpy, youtube works for me [03:13] BornSlippy - although there are an awfully large number of warnings that would suggest your machine is configured in a suboptimal manner - but that might be an Ubutnu thing... [03:13] curt, sudo chmod g+s -R /directory [03:13] !opinion [03:14] ajehals: I guess it's because I have no idea what I'm doing with Ubuntu and am running a pretty straight install [03:14] what does !opinion do anyway [03:14] !help [03:14] Hi!

WORKED! [03:18] curt, no problem :) [03:18] any tips on how to debug a [likely] video driver crash? how to grab a backtrace from it maybe? what happens is when I switch to VTs, my screen blacks out (only when I use a DVI-I cable tho). and it's a complete crash as it won't let me switch back to X... and it only happens with the 'nvidia' driver [03:18] etzerd yes, 1- downlaod ANY pic you like from the internet, 2- add that as wallpaper. how much easier can i spell it out? [03:19] hello all [03:19] xtknight: which card and driver combination are you using? [03:19] Scunizi, i'm using a 7800gt (for which nv and nouveau don't work very satisfactorily) and the closed source nvidia driver [03:20] xtknight: which closed source driver? the one ubuntu offers or one you got directly from nvidia? [03:20] any software with gui that can install direct from source code? [03:20] Scunizi, it happens with both [03:20] xtknight: which driver versions? [03:20] Any help to decompile a exe file?? [03:21] Scunizi, during the card's transition from digital->analog (X--->VTs) on the DVI-I cable, i get a crash at least AFAIK a crash. no problem with DVI-D ironically VTs are digital there. [03:21] Scunizi, 180.35 and 180.37 [03:21] does the RTP module in PulseAudio really send anything? [03:21] I can't even see a port being opened [03:21] any one can help me? [03:22] xtknight: 180.35 had issues..I'm not sure about .37 as I'm currently running .29 with no issues.. when you installed the drivers did you remove all installed nvidia items listed in synaptic? if not you might be experiences some conflicts there. [03:23] Scunizi, tried with intrepid and about 2 or 3 fresh installs of jaunty [03:23] Scunizi, i'm not sure what kernel things to do to get a log of what's happening. watchdog, backtrace, maybe even a register dump but i dont really know how to use or invoke them to my advantage.... [03:24] xtknight: me either.. when installing did you also shutdown gdm beforehand? [03:24] Scunizi, yea [03:24] Scunizi, well what card do you have, do you use a dvi-i cable? [03:24] Just a quick question, If i'm using mplayer to play a dvd, do I have to mount the drive first? or will it do it? [03:24] say i have a program and cp it to /dev/shm [03:24] im sure it's just me and my buggy card [03:24] will it run faster? [03:24] Raije, no you dont have to mount it [03:24] xtknight: I have an onboard 8200 with vga, dvi and hdmi.. I use the dvi [03:25] ah probably dvi-d [03:25] usser, thanks, for some reason anytime I try it just freezes and won't play the disc :( [03:25] hey i have gnome installed, if i install xcfe can i switch between the two at will ??? [03:25] Raije, try using vlc [03:25] Raije, you have to have libdvdcss2 installed if its an encrypted dvd [03:25] or in between restarts? [03:25] !medibuntu | Raije [03:25] Raije: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [03:26] i.e. can i boot into xcfe one day and gnome the next? [03:26] lakeoftea: yes on the login scrreen [03:26] lakeoftea: just change "sessions" [03:26] Scooma, is there any way I can get the VLC to play as root? [03:27] Scunizi, well thx for trying to help me... it is kind of surprising that i don't see any guides on how to debug a crash really in depth [03:27] Raije, why would you want to do that? [03:27] xtknight: you might look at nvidia's linux forum for more info.. [03:27] yup posted there [03:27] Scooma, i'm only on a local network, i just use it for pentesting & watching movies at night (the laptop) so no reason for me to make other accounts [03:28] xtknight: you might try an earlier driver.. [03:28] How can i find the hostname of my ubuntu lts box? [03:28] Scunizi, ya i probably should [03:28] saschul: type "hostname" at the command line [03:28] thanks! [03:28] saschul, ya it's also right on the terminal, e.g. andy@ubuntu:~/Desktop [03:29] tritium: does it make sense if it's just ubuntu? [03:29] that is the defualt value for an Alternate Install [03:29] and maybe some others [03:29] saschul: you may have set it to that, yes [03:29] the hosting company i work for is migrating to ubuntu server from fedora, thoughts anyone? [03:29] ok - thanks [03:29] curt: yay, and congrats [03:30] Raije, kinda wrong way to look at it... if you want to run everything as admin and you think you're safe, maybe you want to stick to windows? [03:30] Scooma, well no because like I just mentioned, I use it for pentesting [03:30] i got this */2 * * * 1-6 /home/myuser/myscript.sh in crontab [03:30] but think cron never runs it [03:30] can anyone help.. using ubuntu 8.10 [03:30] Raije, pen testing? paper yeah? [03:31] Scooma, I'm not trying to be safe, I don't have it hooked upto any external line. its on a local network and I use it for pentesting / writing code & watching dvds cause its my laptop... penetration testing :P so windows won't do.. and i don't want to sit at my desk to watch a dvd when i could watch it on my laptop [03:31] tritium: xtknight: could it also be localhost if it's a fresh install? [03:31] does anyone here by chance have any experience with svn? [03:31] hji all [03:31] please help me [03:31] Raije, oh ok [03:31] i know kubuntu 9.04 is in alpha5 but anyone here have any thoughts about how close it is to being used in a production enviroment? [03:31] saschul: you set the hostname during install. It could be whatever you chose it to be. [03:32] I have a pretty crazy problem. [03:32] !jaunty > beardbar [03:32] beardbar, please see my private message [03:32] Compiz is the main issue i think...

[03:37] christopher: I don't see that package in the repos [03:37] hi all can u please help me out with a problem on firefox .. the thing is i can enter any other web domain with no problem , but when i enter googles adress it can find the adress it only happens with google [03:37] it's air - not in the repo [03:37] grendal_prime, then you can embed the vid in whatever blogging software you're using [03:37] ktulhu: Have you tried deleting all your private data? clearing cookies and such? [03:38] air installs through flash on websites [03:38] (scarry i know... but all twitter clients are air) [03:38] Help! I've been installing server8.1 on a cisco 510 and just when I get it running smooth it stops booting and I've reinstalled like 5 times now. I've cleared my cmos and redited that, any suggestions? [03:38] edthefox, yes i have [03:38] not all twitter clients are based on AIR [03:39] can someone guide me to installing grub on just my linux drive? [03:39] Jackaruto - where does it get up to in the boot sequence? [03:39] there are many native linux twitter clients [03:39] well because i would like them all to be in one location...i have a pretty nice setup with redundant backup...locked server room, thing is...i just dont what to maintain two different content locations.. [03:39] LogicFan: all good ones i've found so far [03:39] but AIR runs well on linux [03:39] ha - sure [03:39] it dont see what is so difficult about this...but it seems to be that it is.. [03:39] for whatever reason. [03:39] i've never had a good experience with air [03:39] I am having problems playing a game called wormux. it refuses to load the sound file. have reinstalled it and still same problem. any idea of a solution?

[03:41] I don't know where else to go :\ [03:41] ok - so i'm trying to uninstall copmiz to fix my problem.... worth a shot... and synaptic won't let me uninstall it. [03:41] Nor do i. [03:41] Jackaruto - so you go from bios splash screen to a blinking cursor at the top of the screen? I would suggest that the bootloader is either not installed, not loading properly or that the disk you are booting from is not the one with the bootloader on... [03:41] ktulhu: can you get to it by ip? [03:41] and im looking at like blogger and man it takes like 5 min to upload each vid...thats a lifetime for what i got.

[03:42] edthefox, nope no luck [03:42] but if you're trying to uninstall a meta-package, that won't work. you'd need to remove each package individually [03:42] the error i get when i try to uninstall is... E: compiz-fusion-plugins-extra: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 [03:42] ajehals more info.

[03:45] christopher: try sudo apt-get install -f [03:45] tywashere: I missed it .. what's the error [03:45] Jackaruto - so it sometimes survives a power off but not always? [03:45] chrispitzer, if you are ever unsure of the correct syntax, check out the apps man page like... man apt-get [03:45] (i'm on the live CD) I keep getting this error: ""The resize operation has been aborted." [03:46] yes [03:46] edthefox, when i conect to another wireless conection near by i can manage to enter via dns name [03:46] tywashere: you trying to dual boot with vista? [03:46] nope [03:46] tywashere: maybe its a bad drive? [03:46] can we private chat? XD [03:46] no.. better here [03:47] okay uhm, well I was recently running wubi, and I decided to install ubuntu (this is on my backup D:\ drive) [03:47] Hi there, anyone can help me to sort a bug of video playing on ubuntu 8.04 ? [03:47] ajehals I'm thniking of swaping the two drives around hd0 is an IBM ata and hd1 is and Matrox ATA [03:47] So I unisntalled wubi, and when I went to install ubuntu, It kept telling me it couldnt write the changes D= [03:47] Please help my cron sched for user... got this in my user crontab */2 * * * 1-6 /home/user/command [03:47] but I can't really prove there is anyting wrong with the IBM at this point [03:47] but it's not working [03:48] ktulhu: it's probably _your_ isp having dns problems. like i say, have a look at opendns. [03:48] cannot connect to winxp share folder from network [03:48] any idea Scunizi ? :\ [03:48] Jackaruto - I'd say it sounds like a hardware issue of some sort, or an issue with drivers for the disks or something related - is the data still on the disks when you reinstall (you can get a shell on the test installer, mount the drives and take a look..) [03:49] tywashere: k.. so you have 2 drives.. in the live cd in system>admin>partition editor .. try that .. you might have to delete the partitions on that drive and recreate them [03:49] rnartos: ls -l /etc/init.d/cron see if executible bit is set. [03:49] yes I can see the data on the drive from ubuntu live [03:49] I've even tried to re affrim the grub [03:49] Hi. I've just upgraded to intrepid and most things are working well (including multi-monitor under X - yay!) :-) However, i can't get icewm to stick as my window manager. Any ideas how to make this happen? [03:49] wait WAIT, D= But D:\ has all of my backup data on it ._. [03:50] usr13: cron is running..

[03:53] Jackaruto - it depends what is broken - i all the data is on the disk and just the bootloader has gone then you can repair the bootloader (does ubuntu allow you to do that in rescue mode?) if everything is gone then I suggest... investigating what's broken or changing the hardware or the OS. [03:53] usr13: tried to run it several times before adding in crontab [03:54] ajehals as far as I can tell all the data is still there [03:54] I forgot the password for my router. If I press the reset button could I lose internet connection? [03:54] Scunizi It is a SATA drive... [03:55] corey: yes. [03:56] still no love [03:56] Jackaruto - then something is blowing awa your bootloader (which should be sat in the MBR of whatever disk you are booting from...) that is easily replaceable - I suggest taking a look in the forums for a how-to, it is common.

[03:56] tywashere: there's a couple of things that I can think of that might work.. these are the only two things that I can come up with .. there's probably lots more.. but first you might be suffering the "bug" with reading some harddrives architecture. the second is much easier to test. on the first screen that comes up on the live cd, hit f6 and erase "quiet splash" from the end of the kernel line and add "pci=nomsi" then hit enter and attemp [03:56] ajehals the boot loader is there [03:56] and ...

[03:57] do I restart me pc to get back to the startup screen? xD [03:57] !ask | Pirate-King [03:57] Pirate-King: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:57] tywashere: yes [03:57] corey: if you remember your current configuration, you shouldn't have a problem. [03:58] okay [03:58] I shall be back [03:58] alright? [03:58] corey: meaning, do you remember your internet username and password? [03:58] can anyone tell me if there is something that cleans out /tmp periodically on ubuntu? [03:58] It's non distructive and easy to try. [03:58] I check by using a live disk to read my HD and then looked at root/setup [03:58] lianimator: I dont have one. All I have to do is connect a catv cable [03:58] karstensrage: tmp clears every reboot [03:58] ack [03:58] i dont want reboots [03:59] christopher: ?? I gota go soon [03:59] ok tech0007 thank you [03:59] that helps [03:59] ajehals you know ./boot/grub/stage1 etc [03:59] corey: that, I'm not sure off. [04:00] how do you change the skype launcher inthe main menu to point to screenskype.sh? [04:00] Pirate-King: gnome or kde? [04:00] gnome [04:01] corey: if your cable connection doesn't require any setup, then you're good to go. [04:01] lianimator: I would really like to try and brute force the password. I want to see what it would take for a script kiddie to hack my router. [04:01] corey: you might have to turn on wireless in your router, or something like that [04:01] is this the room to ask about good ubuntu books or should i go to offtopic? [04:02] anahata: ubuntupocketreference.com or something like that.. also check www.scribd.com [04:02] i mean which room is good on irc to ask about ubuntu books... the library doesn't have ubuntu pocket reference [04:02] one sec [04:02] anahata: I don't think that this question should go to #ubuntu-offtopic. -- I know only a recommendable book in German.

[04:14] opps [04:14] so its already maxed? [04:15] I dont suppose anyone knows of a program that uploads images to a hosting site? [04:15] miloman, you have to give us more context? what exactly is the problem? [04:15] Dexi, your file manager can do it. it supports ftp [04:15] Dexi, depends on what the hosting site has available [04:15] Titan8990: +1 [04:15] Dexi, i really like gftp though [04:16] ok u know how there is so much memory on a comp then there is virtual memory which is how much it is letting the OS to use [04:16] if I install the jaunty kubuntu will it update itself as patches are made or will I need to reinstall periodically until it goes stable? [04:16] hey [04:16] usser, im thinking like imageshack or photobucket, or something [04:16] is nautilus-gksu safe to install? [04:17] miloman, yes. when you installed ubuntu it probably offered you to create a swap partition [04:17] beardbar: you need to update, not reinstall, regularly...join #ubuntu+1 for more jaunty questions [04:17] hi guys I need some help on fixing a problem with nagios3 I already posted this on the forums and it seems im not getting any help but here is the post on the forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1093018 === bond is now known as Guest17771 [04:17] i got it with ubuntu already installed [04:17] tech0007, roger thanks [04:17] miloman, if you didnt partition manually, automatic install picks a reasonable size for swap, theres rarely any need to change it [04:18] usser: i dont see it in file manager anywhere [04:18] How do i access my windows parition from linux?

I'm installing on a Mac Pro and if I use the text mode installer, I can see the "loading vmlinuz" prompt. It seems almost as if the CD is only being read at 1x or something odd.

[04:23] hello, i have a dualboot laptop with vista and ubuntu [04:23] G-Blunted: you have to add it to a file.. fdisk or something [04:23] yubuntu: So I would advise you to restrict its use to short time periods.

I want them there for Xen purposes. I can scp them from a 32 bit machine, but I thought there may be a cleaner way. [04:31] yubuntu: in sshd, root most likely isn't allowed by default. Look for the "PermitRootLogin" directive in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [04:31] i just realized something....is it possible to install xp on a 64bit pc? [04:31] David_: yes [04:31] David_: yup [04:31] any special procedure or just insert disk and go?

[04:38] its still listening on 22 [04:38] sholden: did you restart ssh? [04:38] You need to modify sshd_config on the server, not ssh_config [04:38] can anyone help me enable my cellphone for vbox? i checked in #vbox and was told since my problem is Distro-specific i should ask here [04:38] yup, restarted the box [04:38] oh [04:38] sholden: if not, try sudo invoke-rc.d sshd restart [04:38] that could be it [04:38] let me look [04:39] sholden, if that's the case, it's almost certainly your problem :) [04:39] and my user isin cdrom group as well [04:39] er, ssh, not sshd [04:39] ahh thanks a ton === last-ottom4n is now known as LasT-Ottom4N [04:40] hello all [04:40] damn network nazis at work only allow 3389 over the vpn. setting up a socks tunnel on 3389 on a little linux vm hehe [04:40] sholden, so fixed?

I am trying to create a directory in which all the users can access and write files to each other, so pretty much means everyone associated with group can modify each others file. But when a new user creates a new file or directory - the perrmissions come automatic [04:40] ally to it [04:41] yup [04:41] thanks a ton [04:41] Great :) [04:41] and dmesg shows nothing at least in tail but I think this might be because it is trying to turn on my non-working case fan [04:41] im having a little trouble seeing my xp intstall in grub, i see Vista and ubuntu but not xp, is their a way to add it manually through the grub config.

[04:44] Datz1, if that's not the problem, the only other thing I can think of is that you're trying to recursively download a dir which sftp doesn't support... use scp instead [04:44] apetrescu: I should be in ascii mode, and I am trying to download a directory [04:45] Datz1, ah, that's your problem [04:45] sftp protocol doesn't support that [04:45] doesn't support what? [04:45] i have ubuntu 6.06, is it good? [04:45] recursively downloading a directury using get or mget [04:45] use scp instad [04:45] *instead [04:45] Gah, I can't type today >_< [04:46] @metbsd why dont you use a newer version? [04:46] really, humm I thought I was able to do it before, I guess I was mistaken though [04:46] cuz i don't have it [04:46] what do you mean you dont have it? [04:46] * Datz1 will tar the directory [04:46] you can download and burn a new version to cd. [04:47] why can i not install older, and update it later? [04:47] you can do that. [04:47] but it will take longer to upgrade probably then just install the newer version right away. [04:48] and there is no reason to use an older version over a new version [04:48] ok kubuntu 7.04, better? [04:48] thats an 07 version. [04:48] :-D [04:49] you could use 8.04 or 8.10 [04:49] those are from 08. [04:49] or wait a month for 9.04 [04:49] i have 7.04 kubuntu that's latest [04:49] o? [04:49] ooh 9.04 is coming out soon? [04:49] could someone tell me the command to find out what sda or hd devices are for each OS [04:49] yeah, next month. [04:49] april 23. [04:49] am on 9.04 [04:49] i have too many cd... ubuntu, redhat, mint,, [04:49] i hate so many cds [04:50] tech0007: how is it [04:50] I just installed 8.10 x64 on my spanky new "Dragon Platfrom" :) [04:50] apetrescu, thanks for the explanation [04:50] hi , can someone help me with directory permissions - I do know how to use chmod and chown in simple manner - I already created a group in ubuntu and put user names in it. I am trying to create a directory in which all the users can access and write files to each other, so pretty much means everyone associated with group can modify each others file. But when a new user creates a new file or directory - I want the permissions to come [04:50] automatic which are only specified to that particular directory [04:50] so what do i do with kubuntu 6.06? throw it? [04:50] metbsd: CD's heh, you could just get the ISO's for stuff and run in a virtual machine [04:50] sebsebseb your awake :) [04:50] Dexi: stable enough, no major breaks whatsoever [04:50] hello [04:50] run in virt machine, why? [04:50] Dragon [04:51] tech0007: id break it :( lol. i'll wait and get a RC i think [04:51] Xerran: uh yeah [04:51] metbsd: then you don't need to burn stuff to CD, ok I missed most of your chat [04:51] @slippyb chmod 777 /path/to/dir [04:51] yeah did that [04:51] Dexi: really want to break it, but it wont :p [04:51] Dragon...... [04:51] http://game.amd.com/us-en/landings/dragon.aspx [04:51] i want to install ubuntu on pc. i already insatlled winxp and redhat.. [04:51] well i did 775 [04:51] that makes it all good for all users. [04:51] as i only want group users [04:52] oh. [04:52] specific group [04:52] how to execute this "vmware-player-2.5.126130.i386.bundle" file? [04:52] yeah, that should work then. [04:52] but when i go into that directory [04:52] what's wrong with it then? [04:52] and a user creates a file [04:52] but one of redhat repository piss me off [04:52] i have a question about firefox.. i just install ubuntu and well.. when i use FF before to delete a bookmark i just go to bookmarks and then right click and delete.. now everytime i do right click it will just log in the webpage.. how do you delete a bookmarks? :S [04:52] and user 2 of that group can't edit it [04:52] tech0007: i spend WAY to much time customizing, installing, etc on here, without any type of backup... the risk isnt really worth it to me... [04:52] but can read it [04:52] i want users who have right to go that directory to be able to modify each others file completely [04:53] thats what write allows. [04:53] you should be able to. [04:53] Dexi: i've 3x-boot with LFS and xp, so no worries really [04:53] so the directory has to have 777 not 775 [04:53] but user a and user b can both create files [04:53] tech0007: :P nice. i dont suppose you know anything about virtualbox do you [04:53] any AMD users in the room?

[07:01] my first reaction is always "something went wrong" and then I think wait, maybe it's the screensaver and I jiggle the mouse and the screen comes back [07:02] icewm里运行firefox怎么出现错误呢 [07:03] 说是什么东西定义不能运行 === DF_Seek is now known as Df_guy [07:03] it makes me happy that I can see those characters without having to install anything :) [07:03] âåðíèòåêîðâèíàìåðçàâöû [07:04] oh i know i shoud say english [07:04] sorry [07:04] is it?

If that's why you picked that factoid. [07:10] Flannel: good point. I like 'stfu' though. and jfgi. and rtfm. not noob tho... [07:10] Could anyone help me getting my video drivers working correctly? [07:10] ubottu: I got this script that checks connection to our samba server and mounts things if not yet mounted. the bash script runs well in console.. but I've tried it putting in crontab to check connection and remount every 10 minutes.. but the said script won't run in user level cron / crontab [07:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:10] josh_: 8.10? [07:11] Dexi, no, 8.04 [07:11] josh_: my best answer is upgrade to 8.10 and everything will probably work dandy [07:12] Sorry about that! [07:12] josh_: my best answer is upgrade to 8.10 and everything will probably work dandy [07:12] Dexi, I tried to install 8.10, but the installer hung up.. I'm a little wary about upgrading. [07:12] it worked fine for me... [07:12] !upgrade [07:12] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [07:13] in my opinion, 8.10 might has well have been 9.0 [07:13] Dexi: Version numbers are: year.month [07:14] Flannel: for real i never noticed that. [07:14] Flannel: i was just going to ask why they went to from 8.1 to 9.4 [07:14] whenever i install something i get this error : " /sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/local/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 is not a symbolic link " [07:14] Dexi: yeah. 8.10 was released in October (and it's eight ten, not eight one oh, etc. You can't shorten it to 8.1) and then 9.04 (nine four) is released in April [07:14] Dexi: heh I been with Ubuntu since second release, and always thought the number system was weird, untill the other day when I found out [07:15] J6Dof: it looks like you need to remove the .0 but that might not work... [07:16] weird system... [07:16] Dexi: its a date.. [07:16] yeah [07:16] Dexi: 8 = 2008, 4 = april [07:16] i understand, its just odd [07:16] how do i extract .rar files? [07:16] wendy sudo apt-get install unrar i believe [07:17] do i have to buy it? [07:17] shrug. version numbers are odd. date based releases make far more sense imo anyway - especially when you have a continually moving target which is just a collection of thousands of other peoples packages [07:17] !rar | wendy___ [07:17] wendy___: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft.

[07:25] num, caps and scroll lock [07:26] sharef_: USB keyboard? [07:26] yeah [07:26] works with other computers and OS just fine [07:26] but not with this one [07:26] you might need a driver or something [07:26] i have a usb keyboard and mine worked right away [07:27] I do not know why, but that "Hardware Drivers" does not detect my nvidia cart. [07:27] lego: this worked for me http://albertomilone.com/envyngfaq.html [07:27] sharef_: do you have USB key and mouse enabled in bios?

[07:43] ninom, if you've modified any of the drivers the kernel needs you have to reboot, if not, easiest way is to logout/login or restart your shell. with gnome it's CTRL+ALT+ press backspace [07:43] !find tunctl [07:43] File tunctl found in uml-utilities, util-vserver, vde2 [07:43] Scooma: Yeah, and it gives me an odd error message. Let me boot it up again so I can get that error message for you. [07:44] neil_d, have you tried searching synaptic package manager? [07:45] Slart, ah thanks [07:45] Hey guys, anybody know much about mdadm? [07:46] MasterZ, a little. this is my cheat sheet: http://linuxhacks.org/tutorials/jakes_mdadm_RAID_setup.php [07:47] already following that [07:47] how can I add refresh desktop from a script?? [07:47] but I ran into a problem [07:47] Scuma: Great. Now the damn thing's hung. At " * Starting powernowd... " [07:47] one of the drives doesn't appear to be working [07:47] i'm looking for person that speak italian [07:47] BlackAeronaut, do you have it enabled in the bios? [07:47] italiano? [07:47] yes [07:47] set it up as RAID 5 and when I cat /proc/mdstat I get this: 1953519872 blocks level 5, 128k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/2] [UU_] [07:47] !it | drsurferrr [07:47] drsurferrr: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [07:48] Scooma: yes [07:48] hi lads [07:48] neil_d, no matter :) Slart gave you an answer [07:48] any idea where to find the media file played by ubuntu afer you log in? [07:48] Scuma: I wouldn't know what I have to enable in the bios. [07:49] Masterz when you sudo mdadm --query /dev/md0 does everything look good? [07:50] BlackAeronaut, you can type sco and press tab to complete my nick ;) in your bios there should be an option to enable "Cool'n'Quiet" but you can do that another time. has it started yet? have you run startx ? [07:50] whats the best shockwave/flash plugin for firefox? Adobe, swfdec or Gnash? [07:50] hey everyone [07:50] How can I refresh Desktop from a bash script? [07:50] YazzY, are you wanting to stop it playing? [07:50] hi [07:51] any1 here knows the shortcut to switch from one Desktop to another in gnome? [07:51] Scooma: Here is hte command I ran to create the raid sudo mdadm --create /dev/md0 --chunk=128 --level=raid5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 [07:51] disappearedng_, do you have the little boxes in the bottom right? click on one of those [07:51] yeah I am talking about on the keyboard 's shortcuts [07:52] disappearedng_, CTRL+ALT right [07:52] thx scooma [07:52] MasterZ, yeah and then what happened? [07:52] Scooma: Sorry about that. No, it's still hung at powernowd. [07:53] BlackAeronaut, okay reboot and enter your bios. look for Cool'n'quiet and enable it [07:53] Scooma: everything seems to have worked, but it doesn't look right... [07:53] Scooma: Right. Wait one. [07:53] MasterZ, did you format and mount it? [07:53] have not gotten to that step yet [07:53] hi guys, just trying to install kubuntu, been following the guides and googling like mad but I seem to keep hanging on step 3 of 6, the keyboard selection, i hit continue and a pop comes up, does some file extraction, then it seems to sit and hang. [07:54] formated the hdd's then ran the mdadm --create command [07:54] Scooma: Huh. It's pretty quick to shut down properly on the three finger salute. Guess it wasn't totally locked up. [07:54] MasterZ, yeah you need to format it and then mount it :) sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/md0 i think? [07:54] BlackAeronaut, nah it was wanting the hardware to repond properly first before continuing. it's important to get that part right so you can ensure the proper use of your CPU [07:55] i hope you're gonna finish your dns prob and make it for drinks yo [07:55] erk === disappearedng_ is now known as Dexter [07:55] but the mdadm --query /dev/md0 shows that one disk is a spare (when there are no spares) and cat /proc/mdstat shows that 3 disks are being used of 2 required (that should be 3 of 3) and it shows [UU_] which means the third device is having a problem [07:56] Scooma: no, i want tyo replace it witrh something else [07:56] Scooma: No such setting in my bios. [07:56] MasterZ, yeah cos your command had level=raid5 instead of level=5 [07:56] hmm, then that how to is wrong :Pj [07:56] how can I refresh Desktop from console? [07:57] YazzY, you can change it by opening Sounds... System->Preferences->Sound and looking at the Sounds tab... [07:57] but mdadm docs show it hte way you did... thanks for pointing that out [07:57] BlackAeronaut, nothing about power management? [07:57] now how do I remove this raid so I can rebuild it? [07:57] MasterZ, just re-run the command ;) [07:57] k, thanks Scooma [07:57] Scooma: sweet, thanks [07:58] MasterZ, if it says "no no" then you need to use something like: mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/hdc1 === EatThisAndLive is now known as eatThisAndDie [07:58] MasterZ, replace hdc with your disk [of course] [07:58] OK I understand the change in the kernel from hda to sda but things are starting to get ridiculous, when I install on an i865 (intel chipset) mobo with a pata hd and a sata hd [07:58] c0l2e, what do you mean? [07:58] running the command, didn't add the superblock [07:59] Scooma: Not much - Toshiba laptops these days leave most of that to software control. The only thing we got for power is an option to awaken from standby when the battery level reaches critical level. [07:59] Guest59186, yes, hdX is for older IDE and sdX is for SATA [07:59] MasterZ, ah i think they're added when you format (ie. mkfs) [07:59] Scooma: I see the same thingj [07:59] Scooma: one more thing, on opensolaris i could use the Workspaces panel and drag windows to different workspaces but i cant do that in ubuntu, i need to right click on a window and chose "move to another workspace". Any idea how to acticate that? [08:00] then this document i'm following needs help lol [08:01] YazzY, i think you need to activate the compiz module that allows window dragging? System->Preferences->Compiz config manager? [08:01] Scooma, pm [08:01] hey, so i can't modprobe modules if they're compiled-in, right? [08:01] it says to run mdadm --create, then cat /proc/mdstat, tehn format the array [08:01] or offtopic [08:01] Guest59186, please don't pm me. just write it in the channel thanks === sal is now known as Guest74121 [08:02] Masterz when you sudo mdadm --query /dev/md0 does everything look good? [08:02] Scooma, kay I am just trying to word my question/complaint better [08:02] * Guest59186 is writing on paper [08:02] Guest59186, just throw it out there [08:02] no... shows md0 raid 5 3 devices 1 spare.. [08:03] yes but i have to reword it better [08:03] MasterZ, maybe the chunk had something to do with it? [08:04] i need help, things worked well upgrading from 6.06 (the only live cd i have) to 8.04, but after upgrading 8.04 to 8.10, the login screen doesn't respond to my mouse or keyboard. the only keyboard commands i can use are ctl-alt-del to reboot or ctl-alt-f<1-10> to use a virtual terminal. please help me [08:04] hmm, shows disk 1 active sync, disk 2 active sync, disk 3 spare rebuilding [08:04] MasterZ, try again without the chunk, exactly as it has it in the cheat sheet [08:04] i can change the chunk size but mdadm wiki suggests 128 is best for raid 5 [08:04] okay [08:04] MasterZ, oh that's okay. [08:04] MasterZ, it's building the checksum stuff [08:04] then why does it say spare? [08:04] * BlackAeronaut waits patiently. === Juliiiie is now known as antoine [08:05] MasterZ, *shrug* you did it right I thought? [08:05] hmm, the status is recovery.... [08:05] finish=17158.6min [08:05] ouch [08:05] whats the file name for the restricted driver [08:05] MasterZ, yeah that's when it builds the checksum stuff. just gotta wait ;) [08:05] so you think that in 17,158.6 minutes it will look normal? [08:06] o0Chris0o, which one? [08:06] Scooma, ok when I installed with ubuntu on that chipset why clearly ide primary master should be /dev/sda but it is /dev/sdb now and the sata drive which is sata ide 3 should be /dev/sdb but is /dev/sda which really %^&* up grub in the installer now [08:07] hey, my sound device, /dev/snd disappeared. it shows up in lspci. i tried modprobing snd-hda-intel, but the module wasn't available to modprobe. so, i tried to compile the module, but the ./configure for snd-hda-intel says i've got alsa compiled into the kernel. so now what? [08:07] extras === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [08:07] Scooma: restricted extras, sorry [08:07] is there a good tutorial on what I should set my partition sizes too. I have a 250gb partion to work with. [08:08] Scooma, this has only been happening since installs from 8.10 on and when I don't touch the drives at all and install debian it is the way I said it should be [08:08] i'm using the eeepc-lean kernel, btw [08:09] o0Chris0o, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [08:10] Scooma, now I am on another pc which has a similar IDE (pata) and (sata) sharing mobo and windows is clearly the first hd in the box and linux is second and I always set them up like this [08:10] should I be just posting this in the channel not to someone in specific [08:11] Guest59186: we see the messages if posted to specific or not. [08:11] anyway by having these hd disks setup like this I have ALWAYS installed grub at (hd0) and been able to boot both win and lin [08:11] Guest59186: they are just highlighted to a target user if name preceeds. [08:12] Guest59186: I recently came in can you sum up your problem? [08:12] now something has definitely changed in how the ubuntu or just plain kernel detects hd s [08:13] Guest59186: you should use UUIDS or labels, linux dosn't guarantee that order is allways same [08:13] illumin8, can you scroll back I will try again if u need [08:13] simplexio, you cant do that during install [08:13] Guest59186: again i just joined the channel and my first message was your response to scoma [08:14] ok one sec cig time [08:14] Hi. I have a pc with a Core2 Quad Intel. As it's a 64 bit processor, I was to download the 64 bit ubuntu cd from the site. But the filename to be saved has a name like "ubuntu-amd64.iso". Is that AMD part of the name signifficant, when what I have is an Intel cpu ? [08:14] Neaai: it's the same thing [08:14] Neaai: how much ram do you have on your system [08:15] Guest59186: i didnt get what was the problem [08:15] illumin8: 4G [08:15] Neaai: yep same thing. [08:15] crdlb: then i guess that's what will get [08:15] Neaai: the 64-bit architecture used by Core 2 was originally designed by AMD, and they named it amd64. I have a C2Quad and run it and it works fine :) [08:15] illumin8: ok. commencing download [08:16] rww: nice nice :D [08:16] I have a dual monitor setup using twinview and I recall there being a way of setting up virtual screens that will allow windows when maximized to fill a predefined area. any help on locating a guide? [08:16] on my ibex box it reports 4 active users all of them are my username [08:16] Neaai: reason i asked the ram is because 32 bit performs better evenif you have a 2 core system if you are under 4gb :) [08:16] is this bad? [08:16] Guest59186: /boot/grub/device.map can be edited so that your disks appear in whatever order you want. grub tries to get it right but it's not easy when there is a mix of disk types [08:16] stabler: Nope. It reports an active user for each terminal you have open, plus one for your login session... that number's very misleading :) [08:17] adelie42: that should happen automatically [08:17] adelie42: however, due to the way twinview works, it'll only occur if you have both monitors plugged in when X starts [08:17] rww: thanks alot... it had me scared.. that makes sense [08:17] illumin8: oh? I didn't know that === RoozbehOnline is now known as Roozbeh|Away [08:17] kay back [08:17] Neaai: indeed, but with your ram you should enjoy 64 bit :) [08:18] crdlb: right now when windows are maximized, they span both monitors [08:18] Guest59186: backscroll, mefisto__ had a message to you. [08:18] I have monitor setting problems : http://paste.ubuntu.com/130076/ [08:18] hello everybody, how to enable reiserfs support in ubuntu? [08:18] which I thought was the default cause twinview makes X think there is just one big monitor === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [08:19] is it normal that reiserfs is not even shipped as module or apt-get'able module? it has been a standart for years [08:19] adelie42: there is an Xinerama extension used by the merged screen implmentation to tell apps where the physical monitors are in the screen [08:19] mefisto__, that not the point this is the girlfriends parents computer, I have had windows on hda sda (ide primary master for a long time) but have frequently changed distros on sata 0 or ide 3 [08:19] adelie42: i like my two monitor setup.., just the settings are driving me mad. [08:19] wedwd: I'm not sure reiser is even shipping these days, since reiser went down [08:19] anyway, do i really have to compile a kernel to get ubuntu to mount my reiserfs partitions? [08:19] and have never had to change where grub is installed [08:19] till 8.10 [08:20] Frogzoo: i'm sure it is, download any kernel to see [08:20] wedwd: the bigger problem is that reiser is no longer under development [08:20] its ALWAYS been (hd0) [08:20] adelie42: this was originally invented for Xinerama (hence the name), but xinerama was not dynamically configurable (ie hotplug), so XRandR 1.2 had to make some changes to the protocol to make it work dynamically [08:20] Frogzoo: that's what you say [08:20] xenarama has its own problems. I would really like to use the twinview options [08:20] adelie42: nvidia has not adopted those changes in twinview :/ [08:20] wedwd: it's what I've heard.. [08:20] hmm... [08:20] the is layer of dust on the drives to prove they have not been altered [08:20] Frogzoo: you should not believe anything poeple tell you [08:21] Frogzoo: it's open source, other programmers can maitain it you know [08:21] wedwd: quite right [08:21] so virtual screen spaces are only in xinerama? [08:21] i need to restart for updates but dont want to ruin my uptime... lol [08:21] now I have to install grub to (hd1) [08:21] :( [08:21] Frogzoo: then, what b-tree-ish FS does ubuntu recommand? [08:21] this does not happen with any other distro [08:21] wedwd: can other programmers maintain reiser's code? [08:21] hi [08:21] Frogzoo: of course, it's release under GNU license [08:21] =) [08:22] adelie42: no, twinview uses Xinerama hints too (they call it 'fakerama' colloquially) [08:22] Frogzoo: what do you want to maintain a FS that has been working for 15 years? [08:22] Hi -- does anyone know what the + in this ls permissions field means: "drwxrwxrwx+" ? [08:22] Frogzoo: even if you were talking about reiser4 that would be wrong [08:22] adelie42: but they don't enable it unless there are two monitors plugged in when X starts [08:23] in fact when I install slackware it calls the windows drive (pata primary ide master) /dev/hda and the sata drive /dev/sdb which is way better imho [08:23] because third party developers work on it, and develop plugins.... anyway, do i have to compile a kernel to mount a reiserfs partition? [08:23] crdlb: don't plan on unplugging them [08:23] adelie42: so you started X with both plugged in? :/ [08:23] Guest59186: so what's your point? that you don't want ubuntu but prefer slackware? [08:24] Frogzoo: it's cool that ubuntu ships a tainted kernel to make things "easier", but open source standarts should be supported, at least with apt-get install reiserfs-modules ... [08:24] the reason I am saying this is a thing it is a bug in the installer (this happens with jaunty as well) [08:24] and will break many ppls boxes that have an ide and sata mobo [08:24] crdlb: yes, then used nvidia-settings to get it setup with twinview [08:24] that do not know how to configure grub [08:24] wedwd: ? me thinks that reiserfs is in ubuntu kernel [08:25] adelie42: hrm, maybe if you restart X now, it'll work [08:25] murderfs [08:25] edscho: i have a link that may explain it, looks like its due to ACL shares in samba [08:25] mefisto__, no that is not what I am saying [08:25] simplexio: root@wedwd:~# modprobe reiserfs [08:25] FATAL: Module reiserfs not found. [08:25] illumin8: thanks! [08:25] edscho: http://www.mail-archive.com/gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org/msg15620.html [08:25] edscho: take note of the replies [08:26] unless I have missed something that has changed [08:26] running 2.6.24-19-lpia, i think that is ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10 i ignore [08:26] in the way installs go with ubuntu [08:26] Guest59186: just like before... if you are making basic install. you install grub to one of your harddrives, then you tell bios to use it as first [08:26] illumin8: interesting -- but my filesystem is ext3! [08:27] simplexio: mount: unknown filesystem type 'reiserfs' [08:27] hi there [08:27] Guest59186: but it's difficult for grub to read minds and just know how you want your disks arranged. unless we go back to hda and sda names for disks. maybe there should be a question about it in the installer. maybe there is but it's not very prominent and easy to miss. file a bug and maybe someone will do something about it [08:27] sorry, i know its not the distrib i need but i got it pre-installed on a cd-less machine so i need to mount my reiserfs stuff to overwrite / [08:27] edscho: indeed but its possible the error could happen on any type of fs [08:28] edscho: from what i can tell its directly related to samaba shares in the conf file. [08:28] wedwd: intresting.. i installed ubuntu way back to reiserfs root, but again i use my own kernel so probably they have dropped support or something [08:28] I'm using virtualbox 2.4.1 with ubuntu 8.10 as host, and Xp as guest. It seems impossible to get 1024x600 in the guest (xp) although I have installed the Guest additions. Has anyone fought with this? [08:28] when i try to open my application within firefox but firefox crashes on first usage. anyone knows why? === Mud|bnc is now known as Mud [08:29] when i try to open my application within firefox ,firefox crashes on first usage. anyone knows why? [08:29] deepz: try run firefox from console, attleast you see error [08:29] gloom_: try #vbox [08:29] mefisto__, it has done it fine for years until now I have put ubuntu same hardware config since edgy and no problems till now, so I am asking here to see of there way a major change before I report it as a bug [08:29] btw.. my firefox crashes too in few seconds after start to segmentation fault [08:29] simplexio: i've got my kernel on my reiserfs partition [08:29] sebsebseb, ok, thx [08:29] illumin8: i don't have any samba shares on my machine. i've just found some info online though: it might be ACLs. Thanks for the pointer though. [08:29] edscho: while your reading on it also read this ubuntu on the same issue.http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=837605 [08:29] simplexio, I not all boards do that [08:30] gloom_: np bye [08:30] indeed that's very interresting, i though i'd have a laptop supporting GNU/Linux because it ships with ubuntu, but it only supports Linux because it requires a proprietary driver [08:30] Guest59186: well all disks are /dev/sda /dev/sdb etc, so I suppose that's a major change [08:30] edscho: indeed thats what i was saying, ACLs could have been enabled hope that directs you properly :) [08:31] simplexio: on console it works fine, it crashes when i open it in gui menu icon [08:31] Guest59186: what i seens its pretty much standard way to handle sata/pata drives nowdays, example in my desktop it allways cycles all sata drives in every boot what was a turn out to be b in naother boot and then c [08:31] anyone here familiar with mixmaster? [08:32] deepz: well.. call it feature and start it from console.. :) and that is strange [08:32] mefisto__, but I have been doing these installs since that major change (can't remember when the kernel called all drives sdx) [08:32] Ispci: the windows thing? [08:32] illumin8: thanks [08:32] wedwd: no the unix remailer [08:33] hi, what should LD_LIBRARY_PATH be for a 64bit installation of Ubuntu? mine says /usr/lib32 and that is worrying me [08:34] simplexio, I have a gigabyte board at home that has an ok bios (misses some things) but shares this ide & sata config but you can not tell it which drive to boot first only just to use a hd instead of something else [08:34] Guest59186: so the issue is the install process, right? it's easier to screw up now than it used to be (at least in one way). file a bug and the ubuntu installer might improve [08:34] Hey there. I accidentally removed my admin user (not root, just my usual user) from all his groups on my install of Ubuntu Server. Any easy way to put him back in all the important groups, like the sudoers one? [08:34] If I mount a SAMBA share via the Places->Connect to server menu-option, is there a way I can access it via the filesystem (i.e. is it mounted somewhere on the regular filesystem?)? [08:34] hey, my sound device, /dev/snd disappeared. it shows up in lspci. i tried modprobing snd-hda-intel, but the module wasn't available to modprobe. so, i tried to compile the module, but the ./configure for snd-hda-intel says i've got alsa compiled into the kernel. i'm using an eee pc with the eeepc-lean kernel on 8.10. what else can i try? [08:35] simplexio: Is it a problem of plugin initialization? [08:35] Guest59186: i think hd0 is allways bootable one [08:35] right I was just making sure I didn't miss something for why this has changed. like when I missed the change from /dev/hdx to everything sdx [08:36] ok will file [08:37] DinkyDogg, this is what I'd try, start up in recovery mode and add your user to the adm group in /etc/group [08:37] thanks didn't mean to seem b^tch& [08:37] is there a way for me to use my wifi card on ubuntu server? [08:37] just way a huge headache [08:37] -way + was [08:38] anto9us, i have a root user account i can use to re-add my guy to groups, i just wasn't sure which ones to re-add him to [08:38] i'm looking at my main user on my desktop ubuntu install and adding him to those [08:38] im using brasero.how to burn .iso.gz? if I open brasero, I cannot see the .iso.gz.. [08:38] that'll probably do it [08:38] is there a quick way to load a "default" LCD monitor? I have loaded glx on an NVIDIA Geforce 2 MX 440 64MB 3D Card but everytime I enable drivers I get out of range attempting 85 hz/255.9 Khz... [08:38] My LCD Monitor is "unknown" === eric is now known as talntidf === talntidf is now known as talntid [08:39] rocco, this is a phenominally frustrating problem [08:39] !wifi [08:39] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [08:39] rocco, most likely, the EDID data for your monitor is corrupted [08:39] ]it's a repeat for me... [08:39] i think never was any [08:39] new load [08:39] 8.1 [08:39] is there a way for me to use my wifi card on ubuntu server? [08:40] yes [08:40] its the same [08:40] rocco, absent or corrupted EDID data is my guess, take a look through your nvidia driver log for EDID info [08:40] ? [08:40] who had that brasereo question, i got DC;d [08:40] where is log? etc/x11? [08:41] Brando753: There are command-line instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo [08:41] rocco, "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" [08:41] Dinky: looking [08:41] rocco, try grepping for "EDID" or "Edid" or "edid" or something [08:42] btw, is there a way to grep for stuff non-case-sensitive? [08:43] Dinky: grep -i [08:43] lspcl, thanks [08:43] Dinky: (ignores case) [08:44] rocco, try "grep -i edid /var/log/Xorg.0.log" [08:45] (II) NV(0): Probing for EDID on I2C bus A... [08:45] (II) NV(0): I2C device "DDC:ddc2" registered at address 0xA0. [08:45] (II) NV(0): I2C device "DDC:ddc2" removed.

[08:45] (I [08:45] rocco: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:45] rocco, i'm no expert, but that looks to me kind of like it's not finding an EDID [08:45] I can't find samba so I can view my network [08:45] rocco you said you installed the nvidia restricted? [08:46] (II) NV(0): Probing for EDID on I2C bus A... [08:46] (II) NV(0): Probing for EDID on I2C bus B... [08:46] rocco because that "nv" shows that you are using the ubuntu default nvidia drivers. === SPFhome is now known as SPF [08:46] rocco, EDID = "Extended Display Identification Data", which is the plug n' play data that tells your video drivers stuff like monitor resolutions, refresh rates, etc. [08:46] rocco, without the EDID, nvidia drivers get very confused [08:46] that's why the LCD is "unknown" [08:46] rocco, that's my guess [08:46] u try installing drivers via envy? [08:47] rocco, in theory, there are workarounds, you should be able to tell the drivers to read the EDID from a file, but i've had no luck getting that to work [08:47] no kiddin?? Is there a way i can take a generic profile & lie to it or something forcing 1024x768x72hz? [08:47] rocco, you can hand-craft an edid and try to force it to read it from a file [08:47] rocco, but this is a real pain in the ass [08:47] restricted 96 - yes... [08:47] rocco, i ended up paying a guy who was selling an identical monitor on ebay to send me the edid for it [08:48] rocco, a week after i fixed my monitor's EDID it died for good [08:48] rocco, a broken EDID is a real pain [08:48] i did an xorg reset to get my screen back. [08:48] rocco, http://www.geocities.com/jgeneedid/ [08:49] are edids specific to each monitor like part numbers or general [08:49] if they are general perhaps a google of the monitors edid would result in one? [08:49] illumin8, they're generally specific to the monitor model, but not to each monitor itself [08:49] rocco, what model of monitor are you using? [08:51] SOYO 17" LCD [08:51] got a model number? [08:51] got what i paid for ;) [08:51] MT-NI-BLAH BLAH... [08:52] rocco, find the full model number and google for an EDID for it [08:53] rocco, it's weird that there is no EDID at all [08:53] MT-NI-DYLM1788 [08:53] I think I'm gonna die. When will some supergeek fix all the sound issues in ubuntu [08:53] rocco, no luck on google :/ [08:53] it's unbearable [08:53] NO surprise... [08:53] Howdy all. I've been having trouble installing 64-bit Ubuntu 8.10 onto a Toshiba Satellite A355D (AMD Turion X2 64-Bit). It never finishes the install - it just gives me Terminal. [08:53] how do I enable samba? [08:53] this one will definitely be my heroe [08:54] antoine, there are so many audio systems for linux that it makes it real hard for devs to get audio working consistenly across distros [08:54] It worked on 8.04... will keep searching for someone who already solved or worked around... [08:54] rocco, good luck [08:54] ok thx [08:55] DinkyDogg: yeah.. I suppose the problem is not obvious to solve, definitely [08:55] but then again, I can't have several software using the sound system at the same time, or anyways if I can it strongly depends on the order in which I launched them [08:55] it's incredible... [08:55] I am trying to install xf86-video-intel-2.6.0 downloaded from intellinuxgraphics site for my VAIO FW230J/H, I am getting this error message on configure. See: http://pastebin.com/m1e796e32 [08:55] rocco: possible to use 8.04 live cd to get the Xorg.log and do a comparison? [08:55] antoine, agreed, sound in linux is a real pain [08:55] I really love linux [08:56] but I work in sound industry [08:56] illumin8, rocco, this is a good idea, see if it's still unidentified in 8.04 [08:56] I heard this can be fixed by buying some external hardware ? [08:56] you can always dual boot antoine [08:56] antoine, dunno === rocco is now known as gizmo [08:56] hey, my sound device, /dev/snd disappeared. it shows up in lspci. i tried modprobing snd-hda-intel, but the module wasn't available to modprobe. so, i tried to compile the module, but the ./configure for snd-hda-intel says i've got alsa compiled into the kernel. i'm using an eee pc with the eeepc-lean kernel on 8.10. what else can i try? [08:56] o0Chris0o: well, yeah, for sure [08:56] ? [08:57] but I'm really involved in creative commons and such things, it would be great to switch for good [08:58] I would give money to a project trying to code universal drivers for linux or such things, is there some thing like this ? [08:59] i/dd?: maybe but would have to reload an 8.04 to do it... [08:59] gizmo, highlight us when you talk so we see your messages [08:59] gizmo, boot from an 8.04 cd and see [09:00] i'll take a look in another system & see if it has the same card may be an FX5200... [09:00] Hi guys, what to do if I restarted and now I boot to a terminal window login rather then kde? [09:01] ctrl+F2 [09:01] Help! Trying to install Ubuntu 64-Bit 8.10 onto a Toshiba Satellite A355D series laptop (AMD Turion x2 64-Bit) - installation never finishes, it just dumps me into Terminal. [09:01] BlackAeronaut, does it give you any sort of error or status message? [09:01] DD: don't know about highlight - i'm rocco === gizmo is now known as rocco [09:02] gizmo, when i say highlight, i mean include my name in the message, like i do for you. In most clients that'll highlight the line so it stands out [09:02] !samba | o0Chris0o [09:02] o0Chris0o: 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. [09:02] gizmo: he means to preceed the statements with a name :) [09:02] DinkyDogg: Negative. Just the prompt: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [09:02] BlackAeronaut, that's weird. Dunno what to tell you. [09:03] DinkyDogg: Tried running startx, but I get a weird error. [09:03] dinkydogg, ok will do... never used a client with that feature... [09:03] rocco, xchat ought to do it. [09:03] BlackAeronaut: possibly a dirty or corrupted install disk? [09:04] illumin8: Don't think so. Downloaded recently directly from Tokyo. I'm in Yokosuka. [09:04] BlackAeronaut, there's your problem. USA is where it's at :) [09:05] DinkyDogg: They got the best servers here in Japan, dude. :p [09:05] Not to mention some of the best infrastucture./ [09:06] im getting a kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot... and then a login prompt. [09:06] BlackAeronaut: are you running the livecd now? [09:06] I installed nvidia drivers and then restarted so not sure what to do from here to get back in to kde [09:07] illumin8: Negative. This is after an instal from within Windows. [09:07] hey, my sound device, /dev/snd disappeared. it shows up in lspci. i tried modprobing snd-hda-intel, but the module wasn't available to modprobe. so, i tried to compile the module, but the ./configure for snd-hda-intel says i've got alsa compiled into the kernel. i'm using an eee pc with the eeepc-lean kernel on 8.10. what else can i try? [09:07] BlackAeronaut, i've never used the windows install, dunno how reliable it is [09:07] BlackAeronaut, you can always try a live CD install, those are more common [09:07] BlackAeronaut: I would try to boot into live mode from the cd, see if everything loads properly. If not it could be a corrupted disk or point you to errors. [09:08] DinkyDogg, looks like you are showing up yellow - i loaded gnome xchat for the 1st time will have a look next time i go back to the other xchat & see if it behaves the same way - thx for the tip [09:08] Had to do it that way. For whatever reason, the disk I burned from the ISO is no good and I don't feel like wasting another one. [09:08] if i wanted to try out xfce i could just install it and login in with it right? Are there ever problems with that? I heard it could get screwy with different things and maybe even alter your gnome? [09:08] Thus, I installed by mounting the ISO from within Windows. [09:09] BlackAeronaut: cant guarentee this would resolve it but Wubi perhaps? [09:09] illumin8: Wubi? [09:09] BlackAeronaut, if you can figure out how to burn a working Live CD, you'd probably have better luck [09:09] BlackAeronaut, wubi is the name of the ubuntu installer from windows [09:09] !wubi | BlackAeronaut [09:09] BlackAeronaut: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [09:10] DinkyDogg: For whatever reason, I get the same damn results running live CD. [09:10] BlackAeronaut, okay, that's weird [09:10] is it possible to replace the progress bar of gnome with an avi file?? [09:10] BlackAeronaut: See part of the problem could be an attempt to mount a iso from within windows (the drive is in use) while installing ot the same drive. [09:10] to* [09:11] illumin8: Way ahead of you. I partitioned mine into separate drives. [09:11] And the ISO's on an external. [09:11] BlackAeronaut: Ah. Perplexing :) [09:11] illumin8: Thanks. I try to be. ;) [09:11] BlackAeronaut: you'll need to burn your iso in order to install ubuntu into the new partition, the only way to do it from within windows is wubi, as already recommended [09:12] anyone here had experience with bonding network interfaces? [09:12] dronix: Thanks. I'll give Wubi a shot. If that's a no go, then I gotta head back home to burn another disk. Man, I hate wasting those things. [09:12] Wubi will work :) [09:12] wait, i thought he was already using wubi? [09:13] how else do you install from windows? [09:13] Na hes using an iso to install from an external [09:13] oh [09:13] hey, my sound device, /dev/snd disappeared. it shows up in lspci. i tried modprobing snd-hda-intel, but the module wasn't available to modprobe. so, i tried to compile the module, but the ./configure for snd-hda-intel says i've got alsa compiled into the kernel. i'm using an eee pc with the eeepc-lean kernel on 8.10. what else can i try? [09:13] what's the name of the gnome text window thing? [09:13] btw, you can install ubuntu from a usb drive aswell [09:13] hi i have flash with on firfox in kubuntu 64 but now i just get a gray box [09:13] gedit, chalcedony? [09:13] BlackAeronaut: check MD5 Sum of the iso before you burn [09:13] YES [09:13] thank you dronix :) [09:13] quibbler: How do I do that? [09:14] elsdfr, i have same problem very often. Flash is horribly buggy in linux. Dunno about a fix. [09:14] quibbler: Is that a feature in burning software? [09:14] BlackAeronaut, it's a bit of a pain. YOu'd be better off burning a live CD [09:14] so what do you do to see flash? [09:14] elsdfr, for me it sometimes works [09:14] bonding anyone? [09:14] elsdfr, so i just restart the browser until it works [09:14] BlackAeronaut: google MD5 Sum [09:15] elsdrf: you need to install flash, use your synaptic manger and search flash, most popular is the "adobe flash" [09:15] confuzzled: sorry not very good with networks [09:15] hello folks [09:15] sweet [09:15] ty [09:15] BlackAeronaut, winmd5sum will check the checksum for you, but i doubt that's your problem [09:15] any experience with installing the enterprise viewer edition of vncviewer (vnc-E4_4_3-x86_linux_viewer) ? [09:16] confuzzled, try taking your network to a movie [09:16] (to help with bonding) [09:16] What kinda confuses me is that the mounting software I use mounts the ISO as a virtual CD-ROM drive, with all the bells and whistles. Ergo, it behaves as though you've actually stuck the CD in the drive (at least as long as windows is running). [09:16] yeah, I'm sure that will work :P [09:16] BlackAeronaut: thats called a virtual hardware, I use Alcohol 120 [09:17] anybody with any experience with installing the enterprise viewer edition of vncviewer (vnc-E4_4_3-x86_linux_viewer) ? [09:17] dronix: Using Magic ISO myself. [09:17] can anyone suggest a better place to ask, I have bonding working over 2 interfaces in active-passive, but after a few hours I start seeing really weird behaviour, and lose connectivity etc [09:18] i'm beginning to think I should have made multiple smaller partition instead of using 1 huge partition [09:18] Hi. Just yesterday, I changed my PAM configuration on my server from MD5 to blowfish (or so I thought) and today I can't log in via SSH (ftp works strangely enough) I followed http://ludoa.wordpress.com/2007/04/02/moving-from-md5-to-blowfish-on-debianubuntu/.. Does anybody have an idea how to go about to remotely fix whatever fault I caused to re-enable ssh logins?

I'm not sure what is supposed to be there, as the ubuntu partitions are encrypted. Can anyone help me restore them? [11:09] sky_: what are you trying to do? looks like ssh to me [11:09] ActionParsnip, did that. HEY! firefox works properly again! [11:09] ActionParsnip, how did you do that? ;) [11:10] jelle__: magic [11:10] Hi, ive created a trivial repository with various custom applications within their own folders, eg http://{host}/app1, http://{host}/app2 and within each {app1,app2} i have the .deb and Packages.gz as explained via the docs on debian.org, however when i try install two applications after each other with aptitude i get the following message: "trying to overwrite `/Packages.gz', which is also in package ", how can i fix this? [11:10] hehe [11:10] thanks! [11:10] jelle__: did you run any of the commands earlier [11:11] ActionParsnip, i mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_old [11:11] ActionParsnip, that was it prob [11:11] ActionParsnip: no ssh :D...i mean if you install buntu and you call your machine "blahblah" how i can change this "blahblah" :D ? [11:11] just installed ubuntu on my asus F5RL everything worked fine except 2 things.... the first is wireless, "PROPRIETARY DRIVERS ARE BEING USED.." {atheros hardware access layer(HAL)} & {support for atheros 802.11 wireless lan cards}.

Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [11:11] sky_: you should have just said that [11:12] ActionParsnip: yea :) [11:12] thank you [11:12] jelle__: well you will now have a stock firefox right? [11:12] Is there iTunes for Ubuntu? [11:12] !iTunes [11:12] itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee === Insonne is now known as rimini === rimini is now known as Rimini [11:13] Yoavk, no there is not [11:13] Is there any music player that I can control thru php like iTunes? [11:13] Yoavk, though other apps are quite useful in that regard [11:13] ActionParsnip, i am sorry i dont know what you mean ;) i am a stupid dutchman. (but i am happy again) [11:13] Just want to know, is the coming 9.04 is a LTS release ? [11:13] shashi, no it is not; discussion in #ubuntu+1 [11:13] shashi: no [11:14] OK [11:14] jelle__: well does your firefox look different, does it still have your bookmarks etc [11:14] just installed ubuntu on my asus F5RL everything worked fine except 2 things.... the first is wireless, "PROPRIETARY DRIVERS ARE BEING USED.." {atheros hardware access layer(HAL)} & {support for atheros 802.11 wireless lan cards}. I am using Hardy ubuntu version.... any help pleas? [11:14] Is there any music player that I can control thru php like iTunes? [11:14] Yoavk: do you mean like a remote control via php? [11:14] Yoavk: and the sound comes out of the remote system? [11:15] yes [11:15] Yoavk: theres a browser based on firefox that acts like itunes [11:15] ActionParsnip, no i dont actually. my add-ons are gone and my bookmarks too, but that is no problem, because i have it on foxmarks [11:15] Hey - if i set Ubuntu as a gateway for internet access - can i set different restrictions for different users (as what websites they can access)? [11:16] jelle__: if you run: killall firefox; sudo mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_blank; mv ~/.mozilla_old ~/.mozilla; firefox & [11:16] jelle__: you should be ok [11:16] just installed ubuntu on my asus F5RL everything worked fine except 2 things.... the first is wireless, "PROPRIETARY DRIVERS ARE BEING USED.." {atheros hardware access layer(HAL)} & {support for atheros 802.11 wireless lan cards}. I am using Hardy ubuntu version.... any help pleas? [11:16] jelle__: as long as you did not execute the rm command given to you earlier [11:16] on boot i get this: Activating swapfile file [fail]. This is after cloning the ubuntu ext3 partition to a new hd, the swap file on the new disk is 1Gb bigger than on the previous disk. [11:17] hi, I cant get flash to work with firefox 3.0 anymore.... Even though I install it with flash-nonfree it always says "get the lastest Flash player" [11:17] SpinachHead: 64bit or 32bit? [11:17] 32 [11:17] ActionParsnip, no i didnt [11:17] SpinachHead: uninstall both, flash and firefox, reinstall again [11:17] I have done that dronix [11:17] ActionParsnip, thanks again for the help! [11:17] jelle__: great [11:17] i did complete removals [11:17] jelle__: all better? === Abracadabra is now known as Abro [11:17] of both? === Abro is now known as Abracadabra [11:18] SpinachHead: you could get the .so file from the tar.gz on www.adobe.com [11:18] the only error I get when reinstalling firefox 3.0 is it says that xulrunner1.9 is incompatible with Firefox 3.0 and should I do a search for updates and then it says no updates avail.. [11:18] guys, the multi-screen option on the bottom right-hand corner of screen is gone. how do i get it back / [11:18] ? [11:18] SpinachHead: and copy it to ~/.mozilla/plugins === ubuntu__ is now known as Softpedia [11:18] babo: you mean the virtual desktops? [11:19] I tried that ActionParsnip and firefox gives an error rleated to flash.so [11:19] SpinachHead: ive had the xulrunner thing a bucket of times, you gotta force install it with dpkg [11:19] dronix, i guess yes. [11:19] how do i do that? [11:19] babo: "Right click on the panel, do Add to Panel..., then select the Desktop Switcher" ubuntu forum [11:19] ActionParsnip, still no bookmarks or add-ons. i think i f*** up in my earlier tries to reinstall firefox. but it is no problem, i am glad firefox is behaving normally again [11:19] ActionParsnip, thanks again [11:19] Hozsanna brotha'z === sleepy_cat is now known as symphony [11:20] the weird thing is that if i install firefox 2 , flash will work, but greasemonkey won't install with 2; so it doesnt solve anything [11:21] ActionParsnip, I enabled remote login in "login preferences" and "allowed tcp connections" in the "security" tab. I am on a LAN and trying to connect from my ubuntu to that box but it doesn't seem to want to find it or acknowledge it when I provide the IP? I don't have to port forward or anything if i am on the lan do I? Any ideas why it doesnt see it? [11:22] baz: is your other machine set up for remote connection? [11:22] dronix: cool thanks [11:22] dronix, is there more to do than what i described to enable remote login thru XDMCP? [11:23] does anyone use any other switches than "netstat -t" for a good CLI view of what active TCP or UDP connections are active on their system? or anyone know of a good graphical equivalent like the program "tcpview" on windows? [11:23] baz: your other machine, what is it running? ubuntu as well? [11:23] baz: can you telnet tothe server on port 3389 [11:23] dronix, xubuntu [11:23] ActionParsnip, good test! trying it out [11:23] know why cinelerra is not in the repo? [11:24] ActionParsnip, excuse my insulence but this is what i type to test it: telnet 192.168.0.200:3389 [11:24] baz: telnet 192.168.0.299 2289 [11:24] ActionParsnip, is 3389 XDMCP or RDP? [11:24] RDP [11:24] ActionParsnip, oh I'm not sure I went that route - I did my setup in the "login preferences" area [11:25] baz: the account you are RDPing to MUST have a password (I know windows users LOVE blank passwords) [11:25] shyam_k: have a look here: http://www.kiberpipa.org/~gandalf/ubuntu/README [11:26] ActionParsnip, this ubuntu to xubuntu - i do have a password on all boxes [11:26] baz: xubuntu doesnt have an RDP server by default [11:26] baz: if you are going over LAN only then use VNC [11:26] baz: u need to enable XDMCP on the hot [11:26] baz: you could even use X forwarding with SSH [11:26] ActionParsnip, I am trying to remote X at this point [11:27] dronix, is there more to do then? [11:27] quibbler: ah ok i mean why its not in main, its gpl anyway right? [11:27] baz: do you need a gui that bad for the remote administration? [11:27] dronix, i was under the impression that allowing remote connections in the login preferences was that? Am I mistaken [11:27] ActionParsnip, actually what i need to do is purely gui related - its a wierd usecase [11:27] shyam_k: i have no idea. [11:28] baz: very weird [11:28] i just installed, after lot of trouble of satisfying dependencies, the latest driver on my brand new sony vaio VGN-FW230J. What to do next? I am using Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex. [11:28] ActionParsnip, I have an eeepc hooked up to my tv - I want to login from my desktop to be able to move the vlc player to the tv, pause/rewind etc.... so its specifically all gui related stuff [11:28] baz: System/Administration/Login Window/Remote/Style:same as local [11:29] baz: makes sense, eeepc is badass :) [11:29] dronix, yeah dronix thats exactly what i did [11:29] baz can you not just login once on the eee PC then VNC to it? [11:29] baz, the eeepc has a svideo out? [11:29] how can i telnet test the connection to remote X? [11:29] since root account is disabled, where does system mail goto? [11:29] Dr_willis_AAO, i use a vga connector, i have a nice tv too :) [11:29] I have mailutils installed [11:29] baz: from the login screen: Option/Remote login via XDMCP [11:30] baz, ok. :) i got an AAO. the one thing i wish it had was tv out. [11:30] hey Doc o/ [11:30] mrwes, its not 'disabled' you just cant login directly to it. [11:30] Doc: ok...do I need to forward system mail then? [11:30] dronix, that si exactly what i tried too! I'm glad I wasnt way off - it just doesnt want to connect as though the remote pc is firewalled (which its not) or something [11:31] Dr_willis_AAO, AA0 = Acer Aspire? [11:31] Doc: mainly items from /var/log/auth.log [11:31] baz: ah ok [11:31] baz, yea. [11:31] hallo... [11:31] mrwes, no idea. I rarely use system mail. [11:31] i've got a problem with recordmydesktop....error 768 [11:31] Doc: ahh..well this is on a server and #Ubuntu-server is dead -- as usual :) [11:32] Dr_willis_AAO, thats a great one too - wasnt a fan of the track pad but its awesome - I just got my mom the lenovo s3 - if u ask me it kicks both our asses [11:32] any idea? [11:32] ive just used usb-creator in intrepid to make usb startup disk (live). Can i somehow do it with latest updates included? [11:32] dronix, should i google what port remote X uses and try to telnet to it>? [11:32] 177 [11:32] baz, they all looked about the same at xmas when i was testing them all. :) i may get a new one this comming xmas [11:32] baz: sudo ufw status [11:33] this will test if you have a firewall enabled [11:33] Dr_willis_AAO, by then there will probably be some really juicy ones [11:33] dronix, on my local or remote? === jan__ is now known as Netlynx [11:33] baz: remote [11:33] dronix, ah so on remote [11:33] baz, yep. a 'new generation' [11:33] dronix, testing... also u said its port 177?> [11:34] yes baz, btw, do u have xnest installed on the remote host? [11:34] baz: why not just configure vlc to always start fullscreen and get a remote control that plays nice with linux [11:34] dronix, i dont think so - and it said my firewall is "not loaded" [11:34] ActionParsnip, a hardware remote? [11:34] baz: sudo apt-get install xnest [11:35] dronix, xnest installed... testing telnet to port 177 [11:35] baz: could do [11:36] baz: its one solution [11:36] baz: i would stump for vnc as its only over LAN so security is not an issue [11:36] anyone know of any FOSS os independant reliable house design/CAD software [11:36] Hmm.. I had mplayer set where it auto-fullscreened to desktop #2 all the time. [11:36] ActionParsnip, yeah big time, I was thinking about that - i still move the EEE around a lot so if i did do it i would probably buy some other piece of hardware to stick under the tv [11:36] or was that mythtv... [11:37] dronix, telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused [11:37] the telnet command barely even tries to connect - it rejects it almost instantly? [11:38] baz: do u have firestarter installed? [11:39] dronix, no [11:40] baz: sudo apt-get install firestarter [11:40] dronix, forreal? isnt that almost the opposite of what we want to do? [11:40] and add a policy to enable connectsion on port 177 [11:41] semarang [11:41] i thought be default all ports are "open" on linux - or sorry, open if something is listening [11:42] hey there [11:42] dronix: why add an extra complication [11:42] baz: they are all open [11:42] ActionParsnip, pinging the box works [11:43] anyone here now's of a good proggy to display xml files? firefox & co are just not that good when it comes to 50mb files & co [11:43] ActionParsnip: I just don't know why the box is refusing the connection, I just gave a suggestion [11:43] anyone know how to get unetbootin to boot ubuntu in safevga mode ? [11:43] dubsteppa, gedit is decent no? open with text editor [11:44] blackest_knight, edit the syslinux.conf file I belive.. and alter the boot options.. is one way. [11:44] anyone know why my microphone on skype doesnt work ? :X...but normally when i test it it works [11:45] sky_, does it work without skype? [11:45] any idea what the commandline needs to be system has an nvidia card but its coming up scrambled on boot [11:45] baz: yes [11:46] sky_, ok then I will refer you to ActionParsnip who knows a lot more about stuff than me :) [11:47] can i telnet to myself? what can i telnet to for a guaranteed connection? 127.0.0.1 doesn't seem to do anything? [11:47] baz: sure [11:47] baz: gedit consumes like ~1gig of ram, and shows all on one line [11:47] :/ [11:47] baz: telnet localhost [11:48] hey any idea why my sound doesnt work in firefox/flash bunt64? [11:48] baz: do you have telnetd running? [11:48] ActionParsnip, any port should do? [11:48] baz: default is 21 [11:48] founf it dont worry people! [11:48] strange: you can telnet to any port to test that you get a connection [11:48] baz: one thats listening for the connection [11:48] ActionParsnip: yes but he wants to telnet and get something back :P [11:49] strange, actually i dont really [11:49] baz: geany is better, but one line only too [11:49] oh then do what ActionParsnip said [11:49] strange, i just want to get ANYTHING besides connection refused [11:49] its good for testing if a port is open [11:49] so everything i telent to is connection refused - wiiiieeeerd [11:49] telnet to port 22 then [11:49] sshd should be running there and give a reply [11:50] hello [11:50] strange: p 21 is ftp, 23 is telnet [11:50] strange, oh nice that worked! ok so telnet is not broken :) [11:50] oCean_: 20 is for ftp data ;) [11:50] oCean_: yeah you're right its too early :) [11:51] ActionParsnip: indeed it is [11:51] helo almal [11:51] dubsteppa, I think your xml files are saved as 1 line, so u need an xml specific editor to format it for you [11:52] dubsteppa, because gedit would show it as it is... a super lightweight text editor is leafpad - i like it alot but am not sure how it will perform in your case - try it out [11:52] yip, that's what i'm looking for baz [11:52] dubsteppa, ok, so leafpad is not the solution - I would use eclipse [11:52] dubsteppa, but if its only for this its not worth it - i have it setup for coding already [11:52] baz: gedit does not have an xml format option? [11:52] +1 leafpad [11:53] dubsteppa: have u tried teh XML helper plugin for gedit [11:54] dronix: where can i find that plugin? baz: well, i do my coding in geany :) [11:55] HI, has anyone know : what is these sizes? https://shop.canonical.com/popup_sizes.php?pID=446 [11:55] wireless network, twice installed ubuntu 8.10, get it working fine, when i reboot . . . . wireless network not detected ..pls pls pls help [11:56] secreteagle: read through dmesg | less [11:56] why oh why does it not see the wireless netw after reboot ??

[12:01] i know, i'm sorry [12:01] oh k [12:01] ActionParsnip, is there a way to artifically enable a service on port 177 to see if its the network not getting thru or whether it is actually that XDMCp is still not running? [12:02] baz: ps -ef | grep -i dmc [12:02] baz: look with nmap if port 117 is open if you run your service nmap -p 117 your-host [12:03] is there anyone that is good with ubuntu help me?...could even remote connect if you could?

[12:42] sprinkmeier: in what way? I had a cd and when I ripped it it came out as .ogg files. if I burn it onto a blank CD it won't be considered an audio CD? [12:42] hypernewbie: ok, so the usb stick is /dev/sdb.. and the partition you want to mount is called /dev/sdb1 [12:42] hypernewbie: correct [12:42] Slart: now what do i type in to mount it(just mking sure) [12:42] anyone? [12:42] ActionParsnip, T-shirt [12:43] hypernewbie: usually it mounts automatically.. it doesn't say anything about any errors of failing to do something?

A data CD containing OGG files (or MP3's or some other ocmpressed format) can contain days of music (depending on compression). Some tools automagically de-compress music files and burn audio CD's (if that's what you ask them to do). [12:43] hey guys i'm trying to sort my cache files and move all of the pictures to another directory, so i can flip through them with gpicview, but when i did file * | grep image | mv * ~/images/cache it moved everything. can someone help me please?

[12:45] slart ..... i dont know how to [12:45] sorry im new at this [12:46] nightdrever: no worries.. just wait a second and I'll help you [12:46] hothollas, imageburn is a braseroo option? if so it wounds like "burn this file bit for bit" i.e. "create an image of it" which is exactly NOT what's needed. [12:46] thankz [12:47] not so much trouble with audio (got over that hurdle a month ago ), but with creating a CD that plays in a CD player [12:47] hothollas, yeah.. wrong trigger word.... [12:47] hypernewbie: hmm.. it looks alright.. well.. let's try mounting it manually then.. the command would be "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdrive".. you'll have to create the folder /media/usbdrive before you run that [12:47] sprinkmeier: right. [12:48] sprinkmeier: as a data CD would it play in a car CD player. or again wrong option? [12:48] exit [12:48] Slart: awesome, that worked [12:48] hothollas, maybe, but probably only MP3's (ogg isn't as well supported) [12:48] Slart: ok, now, is there any sane method of getting it to show up automatically? [12:49] nightdrever: ok... you can download gdiplus.dll from this site http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?gdiplus . I can't guarantee that it isn't filled with viruses and nasty things but I've tried it on my computer and I'm still alive [12:49] Slart: I want to leave behind the days of manual mounting and manual synching and umounting before pulling out stick to the days of ubuntu 4.10 [12:49] i have downloaded it 2 mins ago [12:50] so do i extract it? [12:50] hypernewbie: I have no idea why it wasn't mounted automatically.. I've got about 10 different brands of usb sticks and all of them work automatically.. [12:50] and where do i put it? [12:50] nightdrever: yes.. you extract it to /home//.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 [12:50] Slart, hypernewbie same here, every USB key U have auto-mounts. Sometimes having multiple people logged on causes problems... [12:51] Slart: thanks heaps [12:51] nightdrever: press ctrl+h to find the .wine folder, it's hidden by default [12:51] hypernewbie: if you find an error message in the syslog that might tell us why it doesn't want to mount it we might be able to help.. but since it seems to prefer to just be quiet about it it gets very hard [12:52] Slart: ok, i'll try rebooting and see what happens [12:53] slart i did that.....but the pieces are still weird === bac` is now known as bac [12:53] nightdrever: then I don't know..

[12:54] Arkenklo, all on them [12:54] yes [12:55] nightdrever: if you write "wine --version" in a terminal, what does it say? [12:55] Arkenklo, s/on/of/ you never appreciate what you had until it's gone. Backing up too much it much better than not backing up enough. [12:55] oh slart [12:55] i fixed it [12:56] nightdrever: ah.. good [12:56] well i changed the pieses but i cant view all types but some of them [12:58] sprinkmeier: I know that /var /home /etc and such must stay, but I just want to save the settings and stuyy [12:58] *stuff [12:58] What can I leave out? [12:59] #ubuntu-it [12:59] Arkenklo, Settings should (mostly) be in /etc. Buy a cheap external disk, image the whole server onto it and sleep soundly. [12:59] Hi all. I want to run Vista in a virtual machine on linux. What software do I need? [13:00] dsnyders: virtualbox is nice.. [13:00] !vm | dsnyders [13:00] !vm | dsnyders [13:00] dsnyders: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [13:00] crossover pro [13:01] crossover pro is a virtual machine? [13:01] dsnyders: I'd recommend virtualbox - quite nice. [13:01] * rbowes uses VirtualBox [13:01] Arkenklo: personal settings are in your homedir, in the "hidden" directories, such as .mplayer, .purple etcetera [13:02] oCean_: I know, I'm just not sure about what for example /opt/ contains [13:02] i just attempted to connect to an OpenVPN server, which showed "active connection" for about 2 minutes, then said connection failed. Where in the client Ubuntu machine can I find a log or something detailing why the connection failed? [13:03] but /var/, /home/ and /etc/ are givens [13:03] Okay guys. I'll take a look at VirtualBox. Thanks for the kickoff. [13:03] no but run every software of winn [13:03] Arkenklo, opt is for optional.. newer packages that their maintainers dont want them into /usr i guess [13:03] Should I keep /usr/? [13:04] Arkenklo: for me, /home and /etc, those will do. However, that's no guarantee for others ofcourse. [13:04] !Virtualbox [13:04] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

[13:04] okey [13:04] Arkenklo, disk space is _so_ cheap why quibble about it? back up the lot. It's a lot cheaper than trying to recreate that one file/directory that you missed in the backup.

If I launch stuff by fluxbox.. .e.g using hotkeys to bring up xterm, it wont load the stuff from .Xdefaults, but if I run 'xterm' from another terminal.. it works like a charm [13:11] fluxbox actually includes running xterm from anything else, besides another xterm === kalpik_ is now known as kalpik === mdeslaur_ is now known as mdeslaur [13:12] js1013: check in~/.fluxbox/keys to check your command formatting [13:12] ActionParsnip: hmm... Actually I can even try running xterms over the run command.. same issue [13:13] js1013: bit hacky but maybe theres an arg you can throw xterm to make it use a certain config file when its launched and add that to the shirtcut key command [13:14] js1013: e.g. xterm --config=~/.Xdefaults thats just an example its not the actual command [13:14] js1013: you get the idea [13:14] My syslog.0 and user.log.0 are over 700MB each. Are they safe to just delete? [13:14] ActionParsnip: yey, currently browsing through xterm --help [13:15] Hew: it would be better to stop the syslog daemon first [13:15] Hew, yes (unless you have record keeping obligations or something) [13:15] Hew: Maybe you should look through them and figure out why they're so huge O_O [13:15] Hew, For them to grow that big you've probably got a logrotate problem, or a _really_ busy system :-) === sale_ is now known as sale [13:17] /names [13:17] Gnea, the .0 files are rotated versions (i.e. periodically .log becomes .0, .0 becomes .1 etc. ) you can (and maybe should) automagically compress them byu editing the logrotate file [13:17] uh [13:18] sprinkmeier: true, but they'll only be compressed using gzip [13:19] Is there a program that will set a maximum temperature my CPUs will go? Something like the program, CPUlimit? [13:19] if its text data it will compress amazingly :D [13:19] Gnea, .log files usually compress really well (_lost_ or redundant info), and IIRC you can even bzip2 them. [13:19] J-_: http://www.bradtrupp.com/ubuntu-cpu-temperature.html [13:20] They were pulseaudio errors from a bug which should be fixed now anyway. Deleted, thanks guys. [13:20] sprinkmeier: since they're plaintext, yeah. i've noticed excellent ratios with bzip2. but i think the only reason they still use gzip is due to processing time. [13:21] Gnea, also, is the size diff between gzip and bzip2 matters then you're doing something wrong... [13:22] s/is/if/ getting too late, typing going downhill [13:22] sprinkmeier: really? how so? [13:22] so I'm using mdadm to create a raid 5 array... I have 3 1TB hard drives connected via USB 2.0. Is it normal to take about a week until the raid reconstructs? [13:23] MasterZ: it takes quite some time.. although a week seems a bit much [13:23] Gnea, if gzip isn't good enough (i.e. you need the extra few % that bzip2 gives) then you're sailing too close to the wind (i.e. you don't have enough spare capacity to handle the inevitable unexpected problem) [13:23] it has been running for about 8 hours now and it is only 1.7% complete [13:24] okay, perhaps restarting the syslog daemon isn't really necessary, but if you want to keep the logfiles inline/in-sync, then stopping it and then running /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd [13:24] MasterZ: ouch.. are all the drives connected to the same usb-jack? [13:24] suggests 18,000 min until finished [13:24] sprinkmeier: that's a matter of opinion - have you ever used syslog-ng or done centralized logging? [13:24] slart: yes, connected via PCMCIA USB 2.0 adapter [13:25] took it 15 hours to format the drives before setting up the raid [13:25] MasterZ: I guess that means all the reads/writes to the drive have to share that one usb link.. perhaps it would be faster to put them on separate usb ports [13:26] Gnea, yeah, but I've always had the luxury of lots of spare disk space (it's _so_ much cheaper than admin time:-) [13:26] would seperate ports on the same PCMCIA card be faster than a hub off 1 port on teh pcmcia card? [13:27] sprinkmeier: depends on how you measure your rubrick :) in some cases, yeah, I agree [13:28] MasterZ: I don't really know [13:28] how can i create a shortcut for a program that has to be opened throug wine?? [13:28] ls可以顯示目錄下的資料夾的大小嗎...? [13:28] or would it be faster, at least for the setup, to hook them up to the orig 1.1 ports? [13:28] sushui: english only here [13:28] s man, wish I had a real computer I could use insetad of a laptop lol [13:29] sorry... [13:29] MasterZ: mm..

[13:30] wanted to setup a file server for my home network... can't afford to buy a new computer so I used an old laptop with Ubuntu installed [13:30] skype in ubuntu? [13:30] what do i need to do to enable the highmem65g kernel? [13:31] nightdrever: there is a linux version for skype [13:31] !skype | nightdrever [13:31] nightdrever: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [13:31] MasterZ, Sure you want RAID? LVM might be a better fit, more flexible... [13:31] LVM? [13:31] !lvm [13:31] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO [13:31] who is using wine? i just want to make a shortcut that tells ubuntu to open it with wine [13:31] basically putting several harddrives together without the raid part [13:32] MasterZ, in short, you an add/remove disks of any size at any time, no need for matching partiotion sizes etc. Of course, you don't get redundancy... (unless you do RAID on LVM, or LVM on RAID or some other such unholyness) [13:32] knut: doesn't pointing the shortcut to "wine yourawesomewindowsprogram.exe" work? [13:32] made a pot of coffee ,and forgot to turn it on :) [13:33] majnoon, This is a ubuntu support channel. I suggest #coffee [13:33] ok im not sure how todo it?? [13:33] maybe... I'm setting up raid 5 cuz I lost my old hard drive that I used for my file server in January :( [13:33] maybe I should get rid of my myth tv computer (which is a desktop) and use it for a file server instead [13:33] !sound [13:33] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [13:33] sorta offtopic ,thought you might need a quick laugh [13:33] majnoon: do you get any error messages? nothing in the log? disk full perhaps? [13:33] MasterZ, s/instead/as well/ [13:34] Slart: ill try it... its a filezilla version that survived on my windows harddrive. although it isnt installed under wine.. it works when i double click it [13:35] slart: awesomewindowsprogram ;-) [13:36] knut: well.. foo.exe is kind of boring =) [13:36] !info filezilla [13:36] filezilla (source: filezilla): Port of the famous Win32 graphical FTP client.

That's what I was missing i think. thanks. [13:39] do you know a command to translate a number in his ascii caracter ? [13:39] Slart: could u try remembering that URL :) [13:39] Slart, kim0: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ [13:39] RizR: np man [13:39] piasdom, you're using nvidia driver or open source one?

It is common for various processes, daemons, whatever to send notification emails as necessary. Are there configurations that I have to do to sendmail (exim) for the email to get out, or is there an operable configuration already setup? === tritium_ is now known as tritium [13:41] piasdom, it's RizR :-) vesa. I hvnt tried that. I got setup using nvidia's driver quite easily though. I can send you over my xorg.conf if you need [13:42] cornell_w: I think you have to set it up so it forwards mails to some external smtp server.. also you have to make sure to use real addresse.. not just root@mygamingbox [13:42] ActionParsnip, how do I restart pulseaudio. init script doesnt do anything. [13:42] ActionParsnip, I've still got this running: /usr/bin/pulseaudio -D --log-target=syslog [13:43] RizR; i can't use the manu drivers because of a program that don't like it :) [13:43] #ubuntu -es [13:43] RizR: killall pulseaudio; pulseaudio === Sicca-Veneria is now known as HoLaKo [13:43] Thanks Slart, so I have to configure it like I would Thunderbird, give it an smtp server, like my isp's.

Will it slow Ubuntu down when having http, ftp and mysql servers on it? thank you [13:44] RizR: sounds like it, get the cricket bat out ;) [13:44] ActionParsnip, well i had a directory already filled with data on windows, and then i did ln -s directoryOnLinux directoryOnWindows, what i actually wanted to do is to link to the directory on windows, but i think the opposite happened [13:44] cornell_w: something like that.. but probably by editing some obscure text file somewhere.. I don't know the specifics but I think it's the same stuff you have to do if you just want to run your own mail server [13:45] ActionParsnip, Is the data lost ? [13:45] vick: other way around [13:45] Ariathaxx: http://www.kubuntu.org/ [13:45] ActionParsnip, pretty good with that believe me :-) [13:45] Ariathaxx: It is possible to switch from gnome to KDE. Yes [13:45] Is Kubuntu faster/Slower than normal Ubuntu? is Ubuntu good for having it as a Homeserver [13:45] vick: erm not sure to be honest [13:45] pls help I am a newbie :D [13:46] Ariathaxx: Same speed. [13:46] Ariathaxx: Kubuntu is the same as Ubuntu except it comes with KDE instead of GNOME by default. [13:46] oh my god :P [13:46] Ariathaxx: depends on config [13:46] Ah okay sounds nice [13:46] i cant install flash for mozilla 8.04 [13:46] ActionParsnip, Is there a way to 'unlink' or something ? [13:46] PROBLEM: my when firefox is open, i can't see my panel... can someone help me see my panel even when i am using firefox? [13:46] Ariathaxx: if its a home server you dont need an x server so both are as fast as each other === crystal is now known as Guest27046 [13:46] Ariathaax [13:46] !netsplit [13:46] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [13:47] vick: is it a dual boot setup? [13:47] woah [13:47] ActionParsnip, Yes. [13:47] vick: id try booting the other OS and hold your breath [13:47] k [13:47] OriWB, try to reinstall firefox [13:47] Hi all! [13:47] i cant install flash for mozilla 8.04 [13:47] I dont like black screens with just text, I would like to have a userfriendly server operativesystem [13:48] Incarus: wont i lose all my firefox information? [13:48] Guest27046: why? [13:48] OriWB, you can export them [13:48] g'day all, wondering if anyone is free to assist me with setting my network (internet connection) -- really struggling !! [13:48] anybody have a BPM counter that listens to your music? [13:49] Ariathaxx: linux is user friendly.. it's just a bit picky about who it considers friends =) [13:49] dronix, dunno i have tryed every thing with terminal and manual install by donwloading [13:49] gdan, try "sudo dhclient3" [13:49] Just installed 8.1 Ubuntu -- and it just won't find my network card [13:49] Guest27046: did u install the adobe flash? [13:49] gdan, wireless lan? [13:50] gdan: you might need to install the restricted driver [13:50] Incarus: no wired !! [13:50] but if we compared Windows server 2003 with Kubuntu as a Homeserver: Will be using = FTP, Mysql, voiceservers, http. which one wins? [13:50] dronix: how do i install the restricted driver [13:50] yes dronix but i think its because i am installed in windows [13:50] Ariathaxx: but on a more serious note.. you will probably need to edit a text file sooner or later or use the terminal.. if you want a point and click server os you'll probably want to go talk to some of the other people.. they will charge you lots of money though [13:50] gdan: what do u mean u r installed in windows? [13:51] Ariathaxx: if you tell us how to calculate a simple number for "how good an os is" we can help you comparing === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix_da_catz [13:51] gdan: http://img.skitch.com/20090312-d9ncuqgcri7x6k9tjr1njpgng5.jpg [13:51] dronix: I just installed 8.1 ubuntu on the desktop next to me !! its an old dell 8300 [13:51] Which one is most stable and use less processes [13:51] Ariathaxx: I really don't think very many of us are in the business of doing speed tests on Windows 2003 servers... [13:52] , paste "ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins" [13:52] That's ok slart, I think I can find the details... I just like to get a hint of where I'm going before I start charging off somewhere. Saves a lot of time that way. So I'm going to be researching configuring exim, notably for setting external smtp. [13:52] Thanks again Slart [13:52] Incarus, ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [13:53] Incarus, flashplugin-alternative.so [13:53] sory [13:53] Ariathaxx: I think it's a pretty even match.. you can screw up any install.. or have a reasonably stable setup using any os, if you know what you're doing [13:53] Guest27046: go into the synaptic manager and search for flash, make sure your repository are settup correctly [13:53] I am working on a project in school, to setup multiple kinds of server programs. I would really like to use Linux, instead of windowsserver2003, but don't know if it is worth it. [13:53] dronix, is installed [13:53] cornell_w: there should be lots of howto's out there. hope you find something good, that works for you [13:54] salve [13:54] dronix: No proprietary drivers are in use on this system. -- has NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (as recommended) - it says "This driver is not activated" --- activating it doesn't seem to help --- and where would the network one be ?? [13:54] Ariathaxx: Obviously, on this channel we are going to believe that Linux servers are better, less problematic and faster and more reliable. No one here is likely to give you any other opinion. But the bottom line, those opinions are more than likely echo a good share of the reality of the comparisons. [13:54] yo yo yo [13:54] hi there [13:54] gdan: what nic do u have? [13:55] Guest27046: Make sure that you've restarted firefox since the installation of the plugin [13:55] Ariathaxx: Why would it not be worth it? [13:55] anybody knows when there will be pidgin 2.5.5 available in the reps? [13:55] yes geep [13:55] nado: I think it already is [13:55] usr13: Time matters. [13:55] Guest27046, try "sudo killall -s KILL firefox" anjd start again, it should work [13:55] dronix: according to my research i think its Intel Pro 10/100 LOM [13:55] nado: its there now [13:55] nado: at least there was a patch for libpurple today [13:55] !info pidgin [13:55] pidgin (source: pidgin): graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X.

[13:56] nado: i just updated today [13:56] nado: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [13:56] but however, you made me to atleast try kubuntu. We'll see what I will do later [13:56] nado: if you have the version from getdeb, remove it [13:56] Question : how many packages are there in the Ubuntu repos?

[14:01] just quick question. how can i change the file type association of mp3 to play from rhythm box instead of totem(which seems to be its default, but horrible sound quality). i can play it from rhytm but i cant figure out how to make the type stick [14:01] Ariathaxx: After it is booted, it can be installed to HD, and all the configs can be implemented by web-based remote login. [14:01] DIFH-iceroot: so i shall download "video download helper" to my firefox ? [14:01] LOVELINUX: package "youtube-dl" in universe repository.

[14:02] gdan, one sec [14:02] LOVELINUX: ... Just go with what DIFH-iceroot is saying. It's probably easier for you. [14:02] LOVELINUX, if you watch a video it will be temporary saved in /tmp, so you can copy it from there [14:02] rww: alright, but thanks for your help :) [14:02] thanks worked like a charm. didnt think to check properties. in windows you can just goto open with in right click menu and do same thing. [14:03] how can i find my other hdd witch is SATA ?? [14:03] Incarus: okay, but wouldnt it be easier with a program to download it to your desktop right away. [14:03] LOVELINUX, sure [14:03] DIFH-iceroot: so i shall download "video download helper" to my firefox ? [14:03] guest it should detect it by default [14:03] LOVELINUX: yes [14:03] have you tried navigating to /mnt [14:03] LOVELINUX: just look at the mozilla addons for this plugin [14:03] Guest27046, normally in file manager [14:03] thanks but there is a problem with audio playback ????? [14:04] gdan, do an ifconfig and paste your result on the pastebin [14:04] Incarus, the other partitions are made by CP [14:04] Incarus, the other partitions are made by XP [14:04] Guest27046, should work [14:04] DIFH-iceroot: okay so i go to their website and search for "video download helper" and add it on my firefox web browser ? [14:04] the file manager should still detect it [14:04] dronix: that's gonna be hard mate !! the problem is on another PC !! not this one !! [14:05] goto /mnt in your file manager [14:05] LOVELINUX, ive got an opera user script, so i can press an icon in youtube and the movie will download [14:05] gdan: u don't have access to that machine now? [14:05] jasel, no auto mount [14:05] LOVELINUX: yes [14:06] Incarus: okay, but ill try to download the "video download helper" first and see if it works :) [14:06] Guest27046, you can check fdisk [14:06] LOVELINUX, k [14:06] dronix: i do its running beside me -- i'm on my laptop atm not the troubling desktop -- i can run the ifconfig on it but i'll be hard to cut paste the result :-D [14:06] DIFH-iceroot: Okaay thanks ill try it out :) [14:06] LOVELINUX: np :) [14:06] gdan: oh right sorry, then just tell me if you get any results for eth0 or similar [14:06] Hi, does anyone know about this error : http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9255354/00001.jpg [14:06] Incarus, nope i cant see it [14:07] Guest27046, start gparted or qtparted and check it out [14:07] supertux_: that looks like an improperly set resolution [14:07] supertux_: looks like overclocked or a temperature problem [14:07] supertux_: I think thatsa video card driver problem [14:07] have you checked your x config? [14:07] supertux_: or a bad resolution [14:07] dronix: eth0 Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:f1:d7:a1:87 etc [14:07] jase1, I think is a bad automatic config of xorg [14:07] Ariathaxx: I see: http://www.livecdlist.com/?pick=All&sort=&showonly=server but this list is not complete.

Id like to install a new software on the system, but I am clueless as of where to put my files... does anyone know a good tutorial on how the ubuntu directory structure is organized... ? i could simply make a folder in /home but i'd like to put it somewhere where its considered standard [14:08] Guest27046: it should be sda1 or sda2 depending on which sata drive it is [14:09] sYskk: /opt is where I put my own software [14:09] supertux_, looks like screen on drugsw [14:09] hey [14:09] !lhs [14:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about lhs [14:09] dronix, I have a good xorg.conf working in Intrepid , the video card is an Ati Radeon 9200se, and it happens to me since gutsy, but trying Jaunty the problem appears again [14:09] !dirs | sYskk [14:09] sYskk: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [14:09] supertux, change the drivers to an open source one [14:09] Slart: thx [14:10] supetux_: did that happen after a fresh install? [14:10] supertux, jaunty have got the 1.6 xserver, and the old drivers are not supported [14:10] Incarus, I don't use privatives [14:10] I guess /usr/sbin or /usr/bin would be the best place... does anyone know the difference between both ? [14:10] Incarus, http://paste.ubuntu.com/130168/ [14:10] /usr/sbin is system bin [14:10] sYskk: sbin was originally intended for statically-linked binaries essential for basic administration [14:11] , "sudo fdisk -l" [14:11] http://pastebin.com/mbf5b055 here is my Xorg.conf [14:11] gdan: do u get someting along the lines of up broadcast running multicast mtu 64? [14:11] Incarus, i can see it here [14:12] somebody with experience on serial port programming? I'm getting some weird behavior. I open the port, write some stuff to it, and then close it on exit, but then the serial port gets "blocked" and I can't open it again... open() gives -1, and errno is 5 (EMFILE??) [14:12] so I guess id be better with /usr/bin... last question, should I make a user specifically for this binary ? should I chown it to some existing user/group ? ps: its a ftp server [14:12] The way I resolve it before was taking a good xorg.conf from Feisty CD and replace it to the new one [14:12] any ideas? [14:12] supertux_, driver is "ati", try to change it to "vesa" [14:12] I did it [14:13] supertux_: have you checked to make sure your vid card is on the bus that is listed? [14:13] I use kubuntu on dual head setup. Currenly I cannot run kde (or kwin I guess) on both monitors. What wm doe Gnome use? Can I run that on second monitor? [14:13] Incarus, I did it , but doesn't work [14:13] supertux_: well xorg in Intrepid is different then what Feisty used [14:13] supertux_, k [14:13] supertux_: or tried the flgx x server i think it works better with ati than the xorg version [14:13] supertux_, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [14:14] jasel, wont work, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1093487 [14:14] Incarus, only ask abotu keyboard but nothing a bout graphics [14:14] supertux_, good [14:14] !netsplit [14:14] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

[14:25] Dreamglider: and/or "free" command [14:25] dronix: i put it to 1500 again [14:25] gdan: sudo update-rc.d -f NetworkManager remove [14:25] an easy way to find mtu is ping your router with different mtu sizes till you get ping outs. then set to just below that one. but if you cant even ping your router, changing mtu prolly wont matter [14:25] BLTnoTomoto: mkdir -p [14:25] Hi guys and gals. Got an issue with sound - it's disappeared. Alsa recognises there's a card (alsamixer) but I can't rmmod snd-hda-intel as it's in use.

[14:25] BLTnoTomoto: yes use the -p switch to mkdir [14:25] gdan: restart after that [14:26] hi all [14:26] If I reboot it returns, however. I'm not sure what causes the sound to be lost - perhaps Firefox or related plugin etc. [14:26] have you heard about the school shooting [14:26] jtaji and kitche thanks!

[14:28] Dreamglider: So that is a swap partition. Use command "sudo blkid" to see if that partition (by that uuid) is even there [14:28] Dreamglider, format swap partition [14:28] oCean_: the partition is on the disk [14:28] Any suggestions on what to do with a loss of sound? Things to check etc? How can I check what process is using a particular module? Maybe if I could kill it I could rmmod the sound module [14:29] brandon: No telling... [14:29] dronix: ok done !! what now? the little network icon has disappeared ! [14:29] brandon: Could be anything. [14:29] gdan: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces [14:30] oh my god [14:30] brandon: It is a compressed, archived file. It could be one file or lots. [14:30] please tell me [14:30] Dreamglider: the resize is probably not ok.... Try by hand: (you know what device name it is? like /dev/sda3) - then: "swapon -vv /dev/sda3" (example) [14:30] all i remimber is -tg but i forget the other too [14:31] brandon: Are you asking how to open it? [14:31] Does anyone know whether alpha 6 will be out today? [14:31] gdan replace loopback with dhcp [14:31] brandon: tar zxvf filename.gz [14:31] dronix: it says: auto lo // iface lo inet loopback // // auto eth0 // iface eth0 inet dhcp --- but note that i think i put those last 2 lines in manually earlier !! [14:31] oCean_: http://pastebin.com/m63dcfec6 [14:31] eitreach, i think next release will the final, or? [14:31] okay but its a tar.gz [14:31] so i will add a -t [14:31] gdan, there should only be two lines, auto eth0 [14:31] brandon: tar zxvf filename.tar.gz [14:32] Incarus: No. Alpha 6, then beta, then RC, then release. I was just wondering if alpha six has been delayed, due to alpha 5 being so. [14:32] dronix: yep there are 2 lines for auto lo -- and 2 for auto eth0 [14:32] brandon: What are you trying to do?

[14:32] brandon, you could use a gui [14:33] well i need to open ./Config [14:33] brandon: ./configure [14:33] ? [14:33] its for a IRCd [14:33] Dreamglider: the UUID you pasted here (which is in your fstab) ends "...4161" And that is /dev/sdb2 [14:33] yes but i need to untar it [14:33] brandon: tar zxvf filename.tar.gz [14:34] Dreamglider: but in the fdisk -l output, I don't see a /dev/sdb2, but a /dev/sda1 [14:34] and i tryed puting the location but it still come's up as a error [14:34] brandon: tar x filename.tar [14:34] brando: can't u right click and hit Extract Here [14:34] well i need to add the location of the file [14:34] dronix, not in directorys with wrong permission [14:34] Dreamglider: or wait. Did you not paste all output of fdisk -l ? Because fdisk -l outputs only /dev/sda. So were is /dev/sdb [14:35] brandon: tar zxvf /home/user/location/filename.tar.gz [14:35] oCean_: i only have one disk [14:35] brandon: tar zxvf /where/file/is/filename.tar.gz [14:35] oh he doesn't have permission [14:35] okay it worked but how do i change the cd [14:35] no it worked now [14:35] dronix, dont know [14:35] i havt to go [14:35] -e [14:35] brandon: cd directory/new/ [14:35] Dreamglider: Output of blkid says different [14:36] c ya Incarus [14:36] k, bye [14:36] Dreamglider: blkid also sees ntfs partition(s) [14:36] Anyone here with cisco content engine Experience? [14:37] brandon: You should cd to the directory where the tarball is first. I usually create a fresh new directory to do stuff like that. Like: mkdir new-apps or mkidr temp [14:37] brandon: You can delete the directory when your done... [14:37] oCean_: i think it's from the old disk, I Cloned the Ubuntu partition to a new bigger harddisk, the old disk did contain NTFS [14:37] Dreamglider: anyways.... You have to edit your /etc/fstab. The line for swap should be changed. The UUID in the current fstab represents a disk, that is (no longer?) there. Fdisk says /dev/sda1 is your swap. Command blkid says UUID of /dev/sda1 is UUID="a3f74240-c159-4db3-a5f0-c805e69887ce === J8n| is now known as Jan| [14:38] Dreamglider: First test it by manually: "sudo swapon -v /dev/sda1" [14:38] brandon: cp newfile.tar.gz temp/ ; cd temp/ ; tar zxvf newfile.tar.gz ; cd newfile/ ; etc.etc.etc [14:38] gdan: did it work? [14:38] work's [14:38] :) [14:39] hi [14:39] oCean_: output: swapon on /dev/sda1 [14:39] dronix: the 2 lines where already present !! and things still aren't working (i don't think they are)?? [14:39] Dreamglider: that's ok. Now see "free" or "swapon -s" it should be there [14:40] gdan: after auto eth0, you should have, iface eth0 inet dhcp [14:40] oCean_: http://pastebin.com/m34010f3 looks like it works now [14:40] dronix: yep thats what it has !! [14:41] Dreamglider: Indeed! Now edit the line representing swap in /etc/fstab. Change the UUID part [14:41] gdan: hmm, try this sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [14:41] Dreamglider: then it should work after next boot too :) [14:42] oCean_: so i change the old UUID to the new from blkid right [14:42] Dreamglider: yes [14:42] hey where can i find the documentation of /proc/meminfo?

[14:45] Try to connect manually. What is the IP of the router? [14:45] BLTnoTomoto: You are using the complete path, then the dots are not necessary. Then your script will run every day at 10:45 am [14:45] thanks ocean_ and unop [14:45] gdan Try to connect manually. What is the IP of the router? === marko-_-- is now known as marko-_- [14:46] gdan: I still think is a problem with network manager, try this apt-get remove network-manager network-manager-gnome [14:46] BLTnoTomoto: just another tip: add ">/home/user1/scripts/script.log 2>&1" at the end of your entry. That way you'll receive all output/error in such a logfile. [14:46] usr13: its just the basic 192.168.0.1 [14:47] gdan: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.91 ; ping 192.168.0.1 [14:47] gdan: Can you ping the router? [14:47] rebooting. === lk__ is now known as linkjjj [14:48] hmm.. it didn't work...

But you *could* test it manually. (sudo swapoff /dev/sda1, then sudo swapon -a) However, a reboot will make absolutely sure [14:49] gdan: Could be a bad cable, or bad NIC or ....? [14:49] usr13: hmmm !! [14:49] gdan: Actually, we do not know for sure that your router will answser ping requests, but most do by default. [14:50] so is this correct? 48 10 * * * /home/user1/scripts/script.sh 2>&1 [14:50] BLTnoTomoto, looks good. [14:50] usr13: i will ping it from this machine !! does that isolate the problem ?

[14:52] Ooo [14:53] usr13: does it mean anything if there is a flashing red light at the PC's end where the network cable plugs in ?? could that mean that the NiC is fine ?

[14:56] thanks [14:56] Jackaruto: /join #cisco :) [14:56] !hi > Picassotaums [14:56] mcpasdgarrett: system > prefs > sessions [14:56] I don't knwo why it didn't show in my list [14:56] !hi > Picassotamus [14:56] Picassotamus, please see my private message [14:56] but I found it thanks all [14:56] !java [14:56] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [14:56] Jackaruto: ok [14:56] How does one enable mouse wheel emulation on a trackpoint in Intrepid? In Hardy, 'Option "EmulateWheel" "on"' in xorg.conf did it, but it seems Xorg in Intrepid no longer respects those settings [14:57] oCean_: I read the artice. It seems to only apply to pata drives. And it says nothing of the actual purpose of using a uuid in the fstab [14:57] jtaji: how about in xfce? [14:57] dayo,hibernate shuts down your computer after saving your current state, suspend doesn't [14:57] jimdb_: hm, you're right. I really expected (a little?) on the idea behind it. [14:57] Also, the suspend button on my laptop used to work in Hardy, but stopped doing so after upgrade. How do I re-enable it? [14:58] how i can add debian etch repository ? [14:58] gdan: sky_ Not a good idea to mix [14:58] dronix: so coming out of Hibernate means booting up and logging in? when i Suspend, it comes up into a locked screen, and i just type my pw to unlock the screensaver [14:58] mcpasdgarrett: either in /etc/X11/Xsession, or ask in #xubuntu [14:59] jimdb_: my best guess is, that it's actually a way to uniquely identify drives/partitions. Device naming like "/dev/sdb1" etc is not consistent through every boot. Especially not (for example) when using SAN storage [14:59] does anyone know why when i connect to my office VPN i cannot use the internet normally? for example when im logged into the VPN i cannot open my browser and go to google.com [14:59] usr13: so how i can install java ? :X [14:59] sky_: apt-get [14:59] java is not in repo [14:59] dayo, suspend = standby, so it'll go into low power mode, you'll be prompted for your login credential but it doesn't turn off your computer, hibernate does turn off your computer [14:59] hi [14:59] oCean_: I have 6 sata drives in my unit. Upon a reboot the /dev can be different than when I power off the restart. Im trying to solve that inconsistency. [15:00] bjr [15:00] dayo, however, hibernate will prompt you for your log in right after u turn it own [15:00] jimdb_: the UUID thing should solve that I guess? I tend to use filesystem (ext3) labels [15:00] dronix: the ubuntu screen login, right? [15:00] day, yes [15:00] dayo, yes [15:01] dronix: ok, thanks [15:01] jimdb_: that's the reason for using UUIDs [15:01] oCean_: You can use labels in the fstab? [15:01] jimdb_: In /etc/fstab the UUID is specified, and not the /dev/sdb device. [15:01] gdan: did u get it to work? [15:01] jimdb_: or the label, yes. [15:01] dronix: no :_( !! [15:02] can anyone tell me what this pts/0 mean [15:02] ocean_ thank you for your help very much. it's working :) [15:02] dronix: maybe something wrong with my NIC ?? not sure !! [15:02] oCean_: I see. But it appears to apply to pata drives according to that web page and not to sata. [15:02] PerryArmstrong: It's the 1st psuedo-terminal [15:02] gdan: ok lest try to remove network manager and installing it again, I think your problem lies with network manager, not hardware [15:03] dronix: ok i'll run that remove command that u put earlier [15:03] !nonfree [15:03] gdan: apt-get remove network-manager network-manager-gnome [15:03] When we use the term 'non-free', we mean that it is not Open Source. Software that is not open source cannot be fixed or improved by anyone except the software authors -- which is not us :( [15:03] reboot after that [15:03] dronix: I think gdan has hardware problem [15:04] storbeck; can you tell what's the difference between tty7 and pts/0. i am getting confused between these terms [15:04] jimdb_: hm, yes. I'm not very familiair with the blkid being specific to pata. [15:04] How does one enable mouse wheel emulation on a trackpoint in Intrepid? In Hardy, 'Option "EmulateWheel" "on"' in xorg.conf did it, but it seems Xorg in Intrepid no longer respects those settings [15:04] gdan: u did an update from 8.04 to 8.10 correct? [15:04] jimdb_: the article indicates PATA now uses libata... SATA already used libata, libata supports the UUIDs [15:04] jimdb_: for an example see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/130199/ [15:04] PerryArmstrong: man tty and man pts [15:04] jimdb_: in a nutshell, everything now uses libata [15:05] sky_: Enalbe more repos, universe comes to mind. [15:05] dronix: ok restarting !! Yeh well i just did a fresh install of 8.10 !! i did have dual boot 8.04 with XP before [15:05] gdan: and your nic was working fine? [15:05] BLTnoTomoto: glad to be of some help :) [15:05] oCean_: Thanks. I understand now. But I don't know how they expected us to know that. They might want to update their page. [15:05] gdan: Did this hardware work before? [15:05] dronix: :-D i think so :-D been a while since i touched this desktop !! [15:06] jimdb_: ah, yes... documentation.. :/ [15:06] Do I have any reason to backup /dev? [15:06] usr13: thats wahy I don't think its hardware, he said he had 8.04 installed before [15:06] PerryArmstrong: essentially, tty is a controlling terminal, and pts is a pseudo-terminal [15:06] hi [15:06] usr13: Last i remember i believe it did yes !! -- maybe something happened to the NIC !!?? [15:06] Hello i need via terminal to see the output of the command dmesg of the lines that do not contain any numbers or digits from (0-9). Can anyone help me? [15:07] Hello i have problem, i dont have sound :/ i have acer 6935 g please help [15:07] dronix: ok restart complete !! [15:07] How do I burn some XVID video file so that my Âstandard dvd player ca play it? [15:07] Incarus are u there ? [15:07] gdan: apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome [15:07] i want to install mysql 4.x on ubuntu hardy.. is there a place i can find packages for this? [15:08] dennda: what type of dvd player do u have? what type of dvds does it play? [15:08] Hi [15:08] gdan: Did you look at the /etc/network/interfaces file? If you are using eth0, it should be set to auto [15:08] zamba: sudo apt-get install mysql-server-4.1 [15:08] oCean_: Thanks again. I'll look into it. Im going to reinstall my system today so I will experiment some. Unfortunately right now im on my iPhone chatting. Sort of hard to follow through using it. And typing is a pain. [15:09] dronix: vcd, svcd, mp4, divx [15:09] kleftisx: isn't dmesg alway showing numbers? e.g. each line starting with timestamp? [15:09] gdan: That is, if your router's DHCP server is turned on. [15:09] dronix: strange -- it says Pachage network-manager is not available, but is referred to by another package [15:09] If I would like to have an updated version of an Opensource software package in karmic koala, what should I do? - file a bug and add so specific to it ? [15:09] jimdb_: no problem. Good luck [15:09] hello everybody [15:09] dennda: I think regular avi should be fine, the problem could be your dvd not reading the dvds, does it play all type of dvd, dvd+r etc [15:10] dronix: gdan: nm-applet I think is the name of the application. [15:10] oCean: yes show numbers, but i dont want to see the lines contain any number. i have found the command dmesg | grep ^[:digit:] . thanks [15:11] dronix: I'll check that. So just brasero -> video or data disc? [15:11] usr13: not nm-applet -- says package couldn't be found [15:11] gdan: If you did: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.91 ; ping 192.168.0.1 and was unable to ping the router, and the other machine IS able to ping the router, then you have a problem that networkmanager will not fix. [15:11] denna: yes, that should work fine [15:11] dronix: Which? Data or video disc? [15:12] gdan: I think you have dissabled the NetworkManager, so that is understandable. === zz is now known as Guest54084 [15:12] gdan: /etc/init.d/networking start [15:12] denna: video, that way it'll play in a loop, I think with data, you'll need to manually select and play the files [15:12] usr13: hmmm ok !! [15:13] dronix: i've no problem with that. i'll just try video [15:13] should I file a bug if there is a never software release aviable than the one in jaunty? [15:14] gdan: Do you have more than one NIC in this machine? [15:14] dronix: when I want to burn it shows me a burning setup dialog. everything looks fine but the "burn" button is grayed out === Brucey is now known as Bruceee [15:14] usr13: no !! [15:14] benste: only if there is a good reason to include it [15:14] gdan: Did /etc/init.d/networking start do anything? [15:14] gdan: you won't be able to use apt-get since u don't have access to the internet [15:15] hey, in /etc/modules i have some names two times...is it better to reduce to one? [15:15] benste: it might be getting to late for jaunty.. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess [15:15] dronix: as data disc it works. iÃ'll just try that then [15:15] danbhfive: and what if the only reason is that the new version is from 2007 and the old one which is inclueded from pre 2002 ? [15:15] jtaji: KArmic Koala would be glad too :-) [15:16] benste: lets take this to +1 [15:16] k [15:16] i have a question [15:16] !ask [15:16] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:16] i have my headphone connected to the desktop, however, it seems that the volume is really low, although everything is turned up all the way [15:17] is there a way to "fix" this? [15:17] good morning everyone [15:17] gdan: Have you checked to see that the network cable is ok? (Did you switch with the PC that is now connected?) [15:17] does anyone know if there's a way to run ubuntu on hp dv6 laptops? [15:18] usr13: the NIC card is built into the Motherboard -- is it possible that i have to turn it on/off in the bios settings ?? [15:18] m3st3ss0: I have it running on a dv5000 and it runs well. I did nothing special. [15:19] usr13: and somehow i just lost mouse control ?? bloody hell !! [15:19] gdan: ifconfig eth0 [15:19] I have a small question with a terminal command. Say I used "cat file.txt | grep example" and the output was "test: example" how would i remove the "test:" part from the output? [15:19] well... I've got this problem: it asks me, during the beginning of installation, what monitor and graphic card this ps has [15:20] gdan: maybe the mouse plug is just loose. [15:20] or just ran away [15:20] gdan: what does ifconfig eth0 tell you? [15:20] it would run in low graphic mode if I don't find the right config [15:20] then, even if [15:21] gdan: I do not think the network card is dissabled in the bios. Not likely. [15:21] blakkheim: there are many ways " | grep example | awk -F: '{print $2}' " for example [15:21] then, even if I do find something similar to what I have on this pc, it freezes on running local boot stuff [15:21] usr13: 1 moment plz -- is there some keyboard shortcuts in ubuntu to restart !?? [15:21] blakkheim: however, if the output is (or can be) more than 1 line, you'll have to expand the script [15:21] gdan: Ctrl-Alt-F6 [15:22] ross: check in "system -- settings -- sound" if the right driver is active, then double-click on the speaker-icon to bring up the volume-control. there go to settings and ensure all channels are selected [15:22] m3st3ss0: Mime never asked that. Usualy a sticker on the laptop says the graphics chip. Pr turn it over and read the exact model number and look ip the specifications on the web [15:22] gdan: Ctrl-Alt-Delete will restart [15:22] gdan: But you can work from the terminal, just login and do what you need to do at tty6 [15:23] usr13: I think both the mouse and keyboard are no longer responsive !!?? omg :-D [15:23] rakudave: how do i check to see if it's the correct driver? [15:23] oCean_: thanks [15:24] gdan: Sounds like hardware issue. Pull the power cord loose, slide another PC in it's place and plug back in. :) [15:24] ross: usualy "auto" works just fine, but you could try to force "alsa". [15:24] Anyone recommend a Notepad++ (type) syntax highlighter for programming Lua and XML using Ubuntu? [15:24] I am trying to put a headless server with 100mbps uplink into the bittorrent seeding pool for 8.10-desktop ISOs, but btdownloadcurses/btdownloadheadless from the "bittorrent" package don't seed at all! I know the ports are open, so what's wrong? [15:24] rakudave: i'll try that [15:24] kneeki: geany [15:24] blakkheim: another tip. Something like this might be useful: " grep example file.txt" | cut -d':' -f2 " -- that'll work for multiple lines too. [15:25] kneeki: gedit [15:25] rakudave: thanks =) [15:25] kneeki: vim [15:25] blakkheim: actually remove the 2nd doublequotes in last example [15:26] I've noticed that in a bash shell I can use TAB completion for ssh commands and it's completing server names. Where does it get that data from? [15:26] Does Ubuntu have the keyboard option? etc. ALT+1545, I want to make the spade symbol on my paper [15:26] Is there somewhere where I can define TAB completion for other commands? [15:26] chuckk1958: I believe thats built in [15:26] rakudave: ok ALSA gave me a much better result [15:26] anyone can chek if svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer is working ? [15:26] chuckh1958: From the command-not-found package [15:27] dronix: On other distros with bash, it doesn't happen [15:27] ross: good :-) [15:27] rakudave: thank you, it seems like ALSA is the much better setting [15:27] hi, openssl is eating all my cpu, what can be the problem? [15:27] PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND [15:27] 6781 user 20 0 4048 2020 1656 R 99 0.1 6:50.37 openssl [15:27] jatt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:27] oh, I didn't know [15:27] dronix: it's in the command-not-found package [15:27] does any one here use openvpn? [15:27] more accurately, command-not-found-data [15:27] openvpn channel is not reponsive [15:27] ignis__: Yes, I use it [15:28] yes me [15:28] allquixotic, gfather ,well thank you both i would really appreciate a small help [15:28] ignis__: I run OpenVPN server on a Fedora 10 jeOS inside virtualbox on ubuntu server :) didn't want to risk messing up the server's networking because i don't have out of band management, otherwise i might have tried it on the native ubuntu :P [15:29] if i have set up an openvpn as tun with a specific subnet say the suggested 10.8.0.0 to a network of addresses that are different say 192.168.1.0 [15:29] allquixotic svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer [15:29] works with u ? [15:29] :) [15:29] no [15:29] users succeed connecting with a new assigned address of type 10.8.0.x but can't communicate with inner network [15:29] gfather: Huh? how is mplayer svn related to what I've been talking about? [15:29] make the subnet something that u dont normally use [15:29] i read the manual several times but didn't succeed setting up a push route or anything else successfully, please help me [15:29] chuckh1958: the ssh hostname completion is based on known_hosts files [15:30] allquixotic nothing , just test if its working or i have a firewall problem :) [15:30] ignis__: You might also need to specify "client-to-client" in the server-side config [15:30] chuckh1958: in your .bashrc there is a line for sourcing /etc/bash_completion configuration. [15:30] what is that? i read those things, also the push routes, but didn't succeed with configuration [15:30] what does client to client do? [15:31] gfather: it's not you, it's the server... [15:31] if i did a 8.10 install of ubuntu (because that's the CD i had already), and install Xubuntu-desktop then do a "sudo tasksel remove ubuntu-desktop" that should get me very close to an actual Xubuntu release, correct? [15:31] push route , if u want lets say to make the people who connectes to ur vpn use ur net and firewall security rules [15:31] gfather: tcp 0 1 129.2.131.69:45003 213.144.138.186:3690 SYN_SENT 11221/svn [15:31] usr13: ifconfig eth0 : gives an output !!? what u wanna know specifically ? [15:31] os is there a major difference that i'm missing? [15:31] gfather: that indicates that the server isn't responding to the SYN packet, as that same line is there constantly [15:31] allquixotic thanks m8 [15:32] hey can anyone tell me how i can access the shared folders in XP on virtualbox [15:32] yes :) , strange though i was able to access it like hours ago [15:32] allquixotic, wait, if i use push route it gives my clients the ability to talk to inner pc's? [15:32] and they are subordinate to the network rules? [15:32] ignis__ no , push make the internet use ur route [15:33] ohhhhhhhhh [15:33] ignis__ like if you ban some porn site [15:33] i need to find a mysql-server-4.x package for ubuntu 8.04 [15:33] and the push was enabled [15:33] ignis__: push "route ..." can do almost anything you can imagine. It's basically telling the client to run the route command. Read the manpages! [15:33] and client-to-client? [15:33] zamba: what I gave u, it didn't work? [15:33] when the access the net , they cant open these sites , because they use ur net and ur rules [15:33] ignis__: client-to-client allows multiple connected users to the VPN to ocmmunicate with one another [15:34] dronix: you didn't hilight me, so i guess it slipped past me:) [15:34] dronix: oh, you did.. but no, that doesn't work [15:34] allquixotic, but i want them to communicate with other computers from within the network, not one another [15:34] dronix: there's no mysql-server-4.1 in the repos [15:34] dronix: No candidate version found for mysql-server-4.1 [15:34] dronix: thanks, works (dvd) [15:35] dennda: great, u use data right? [15:35] allquixotic, how do i gain that? [15:35] zamba: its not supported anymore you have to go to ysql website to dowload it if you really need it [15:35] ignis__: If you want the VPN-connected clients to have _all_ IP traffic redirected through your internet gateway -- that is, any IP address that your server resolves will be resolved in exactly the same way by the clients, and your VPN server basically becomes a NAT -- then use redirect-gateway, along with iptables [15:35] Shininggg: but i see several people able to issue aptitude install mysql-server-4.1 [15:35] Shininggg: dronix is the second guy who reports success with that install [15:36] ignis__: If you use redirect-gateway and the proper firewall rules, then you can determine which routes your VPN clients can access by sitting down at the server's console and pinging sites... whatever responds will also be accessible to clients [15:36] isn't there a way to get repositories from earlier versions of ubuntu (even though one of the guys were using 8.10) [15:36] no it's not what i want, i want a 10.8.0.x computer connected remotly to ve able to ping inner computer from address 192.168.2.x [15:36] dronix: yes [15:37] any1 help me [15:37] ok cool [15:37] i dunno how to conect internet in ubuntu [15:37] w do i delete contacts in pidgin? [15:37] how* [15:38] ive added someone with wrong name......now i cant seem to delete it [15:38] can this be done? [15:38] sorry for the ignorance [15:38] ikonia: hello what about my second vmstat?

You should make sure the desired IPs and subnets match.

[16:03] anyone know of any good network asset audit tools for Linux? Something like what this does: http://www.manageengine.com/products/asset-explorer/track-it-assets.html I remember Mark Spencer YEARS Ago used to have something like this... but it was very basic. [16:04] What should I enter in the last step of ubuntu installation procedure (when you press the advanced button) so that I get grub not to get installed to mbr but rather get installed in ubuntu partition? [16:04] 2.6.24.16-23.56 does that mean its for kernel 2.6.24-23 ? === ameyer_ is now known as ameyer [16:04] one more question in my terminal i may run a command and it will scroll so far down that when i try to go to the beggining of the command it wont let me any idea on how to get around this?

[16:06] Th3_KID, "you_app_name | less ", it will show the scroll message screen by screen. [16:07] hey hey [16:07] hechu: He might also want to increse buffer size. [16:07] hey guys [16:07] skiab0x, if you install ubuntu into your entry disk, just select mbr.

[16:07] skiab0x: well grub boots vista [16:07] why this would be the case? [16:08] skiab0x: You should install GRUB to the MBR, then... [16:08] im new to ubuntu.....any good software i should download? [16:08] where can i specify the maximum size of the file attachments for dovecot email server ? [16:08] how can i get a sort of the 5th list of a file via terminal ? [16:08] freaking Coool hechu [16:08] I am following this guide here : http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Ubuntu [16:09] Step Four [16:09] Once you've partitioned the drive the way you like it, you come to the single most-important step: telling Ubuntu where (not) to install GRUB, the Linux bootloader. Unfortunately, the Ubuntu developers did a real bad job here - you're going to see a single, lonely button dubbed "Advanced" with no hint as to what it actually does. Don't be put off by the intimidating label, there's nothing to advanced or complicated behind that curtain! Click [16:09] kleftisx, you mean 5th field? [16:09] I have exim4 running on two servers. One (on CentOS) and works fine, the other one (on Ubuntu 8.04) cannot send emails to a few specific domains. Could I get some help here? [16:09] oCean_: you still here ? i rebooted but still got the "Activating swapfile file [Fail]" [16:09] skiab0x: That guide is kinda pointless. Easy way: 1) Install Vista 2) Install Ubuntu with default GRUB settings 3) You're done. [16:09] unop : yes [16:09] Th3_KID, ah? [16:10] Hi all I just installed ubuntu desktop. When I go to Hardware drivers it recognises my ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX Graphics Drivers but when I hit activate it doesn't seem to do anything?

[16:12] bin1010: Sounds like you have a problem with the HD [16:12] I know [16:12] dronix, I eliminated the KV and it still does it. It is a USB issue with ubuntu I believe [16:12] i so don't get this, buying a netbook with ubuntu was a mistake. [16:12] is there a way to salvage some of the information off of the hdd [16:12] xcasey: what model? and whats the problem? [16:12] adrenaline: did u configure xorg [16:12] danbhfive: Live CD and USB drive..... etc. [16:13] I have a new one ready to go...I was hoping not to have to reinstall from scratch...if possible [16:13] hi all [16:13] it's an everex cloudbook but i have to reinstall ubuntu because i lost everything during an update and i can't figure out how to do it from a usb drive [16:13] dronix, Honestly I didn't because I don't want to break anything else yet. I was hoping to find the problem [16:13] first [16:13] I'm trying to use use the usbcreator utility but it doesn't recognize my external 20g usb hd [16:13] bin1010: You will more than likely have to re-install. A hard drive failure is a hard drive failure is ahard drive failure is ahard drive failure... [16:14] why is linux-headers-generic 2.6.24.23.25 when linux-headers-2.6.24.23-generic is 2.6.24-23.48?

[16:14] yet it recognizes my 2gb pendrive [16:14] what's going on? [16:14] titon: Could you rephrase your question? [16:14] xcasey: can you boot at all? [16:14] to memtest86 [16:14] titon: Try using complete sentence. [16:15] adrenaline: reconfiguring xorg should do anything anything else, your basically trying to restore it [16:15] xcasey: mmm, I'm sorry.

I was hoping to diagnose first I will try it but I want to try a couple of things first [16:17] ubottu: ok [16:17] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [16:17] heh [16:17] Where can i see the boot up log ? [16:17] Pardon the interruption... Wondering if someone can help me out with a slight problem I am having with an Ubuntu installation. Problem encountering - Partition Formatting hanging at 33%, on an HP DL380 Server with SATA drives. Did a mem test and had no errors showing. Dunno what else to do. [16:17] dronix: problem isn't compiling up the source, but getting all the stuff placed in the places ubuntu expects stuff to be [16:18] titon: You can install kernel-headers for your particular kernel and uninstall other versions (in the spirit of good housekeeping). [16:18] Anyone here use pidgin? [16:18] zamba: ah, hmm, I really don't know as I only use v5 [16:18] xcasey: so, did you have a problem booting from the usb drive? [16:18] dronix: like having 'mysql' in the right path, the data for the server in /var/lib/mysql and working startup scripts for the whole shebang [16:18] dronix: ok [16:18] gRunt: I do [16:18] i hate compiling from source [16:18] gRunt: do u have internet access on your ubuntu machine? [16:18] usr13 yes but linux-headers shouldnt that one be the same as the latest one installed? [16:18] Does ubuntu support/serves support for pen tablets connected via USB ? [16:19] haven't gotten that far. [16:19] do you know if you can create a "perform on connect variant" to IRC in pidgins IRC client? [16:19] i detest it [16:19] and yes dronix im on it now. === horstle is now known as h0rstle [16:19] xcasey: what exactly is the problem that you are running into? [16:19] i feel like i ruin the system every time i do it [16:19] titon: The package manager will get the right ones for you. === h0rstle is now known as horstle [16:20] Th3_KID, lsof beats netstat anyday though, just type lsof -i to get a list of all open connections. You can do something like lsof -i :22 to see who's hanging with what on port 22 etc. [16:20] hey guys, probably the #1 question these days but - anything known when the patch for pidgin will come ? [16:20] How do I change my GDM login screen without using any front end? I want to do it i bash [16:20] gRunt: just give me a sec, I believe I solved mine by installing the catalyst control center [16:20] Grimwold: for ICQ? I got it today [16:20] how do i switch from xfce to gnome ?? [16:20] Or would anyone know which channel I can hit for installation help? [16:20] Grimwold, I installed some patches for pidgin today [16:20] well i just downloaded a copy on ubuntu... [16:20] Grimwold: it got released already, and should be on your local mirror soon [16:20] thanks dronix [16:21] min3sweeper: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [16:21] patches today ? [16:21] zamba: While it is best to install applications from the package tree of your particular version and OS, sometimes you find a need for apps that are outside the tree, in which case you have no choice. I've comopiled from source lots of times with no problems. [16:21] min3sweeper: can you say more about how much you want to switch? do you want to get rid of xubuntu-desktop, and completely replace it with ubuntu-desktop? [16:22] !who | xcasey please use my name as I will miss your msgs otherwise [16:22] xcasey please use my name as I will miss your msgs otherwise: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:22] haha lol now that you say it, there they are ^^ [16:22] hardcampa is freaking cool thanks man never knew about lsof [16:22] i want to remove xfce completely and use gnome [16:22] zamba: The important thing is to know what your getting and only install what you really want / need. [16:22] !puregnome | min3sweeper [16:22] min3sweeper: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 ; sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » [16:22] Th3_KID, =) I use it when I unmount stuff as well. It can tell me what files BLOCK the unmount [16:22] hrm. they made that factoid less informative than it used to be. [16:22] zamba: Check from trusted source. [16:23] brb have to take a poop [16:23] zamba: Sometimes, it is even better to compile from source because you get the package just as the package maintainers intended it to be configured. [16:23] ohoh information overload [16:23] min3sweeper: bottom line from http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [16:23] ok, thx [16:24] dronix: did you want to pm me with the result I'm alt tabbing a bit and don't want to miss it [16:24] gRunt: I'll highlight your nick, with the answer [16:24] thanks [16:25] zamba: Installing from package manager means that you can easily uninstall, (that is another advantage to stick with authorized packages only from the package tree). [16:25] Does anyone know if I can add a perform on connect script to pidgins IRC client like you can with mIRC? [16:26] Alternatively, learn how to build packages, and maintain your own package repo [16:26] gRunt: found it - http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Intrepid_Installation_Guide [16:26] Best of both worlds - built how you want, and easily removed.

[16:27] Can any guide me how to run gui in fresh server edition? [16:27] Yeah I'll keep looking I like that I can have IRC and MSN in the same client thats all if xchat did that I would probably swap over, will give it a look though [16:28] xchat is only an irc client though [16:28] min3sweeper: well, I would start with sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ && sudo apt-get autoremove I have a more thorough command, but it risks removing other packages you may have installed. Its a cool command. Not totally sure how it works. You may just have to reinstall a few programs [16:28] !info bitlbee [16:28] bitlbee (source: bitlbee): An IRC to other chat networks gateway.

[16:31] 64 bits [16:31] It can use 32 and 64 bit [16:31] usr13: and there's no startup script.. for sys-v.. is that what it's called? [16:32] omg why start a gui on a server, that's like blasphemy [16:32] hardcampa: agreed, no GUIs on servers [16:32] PedRy: From where to install that ? if cd in inserted by writing the command will it get installed [16:32] er... mmmm [16:32] From aptitude or apt-get [16:32] aptitude install ubuntu-desktop [16:33] Like other apps [16:33] (ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop or the window manager what you want) [16:33] Someone asked how to convert bdx to mbox ?

[16:33] zamba: /etc/inittab ? [16:34] goody [16:34] michael: check your bios [16:34] PedRy:Anything form that gui should be displayed . By writing that command will it install from the cd? [16:34] usr13: that just tells the system what initlevel it's on.. [16:34] dronix: crazy question but when I go the the ATi website I have to select what model card I have any way of finding out on linux. I would normally find it easily on windows but don't have it on here now. [16:34] Yes, or you can install it from inet [16:34] usr13: but i need a startup script that actually works for the different directories that everything has been placed in [16:35] dronix: i have been able to get to a menu that asks which device i want to boot from..i choose my usb.. and then it just goes ahead and boots from windows.... possibly indicating that my usb device is not bootable and did not turn out okay?

[16:35] fstab* [16:35] zamba: you could install chkconfig [16:35] m1chael: yes, it seems your usb device is not bootable [16:35] usr13: what's chkconfig? [16:36] zamba: an application that helps you controll various running server apps. [16:36] usr13: yeah, but that requires that you have a startup script for the service [16:37] dronix, so what would you do in this situation? :) [16:37] usr13: which i don't [16:37] okay i think i got it to book from usb but now i have what looks like the desktop and a folder that says examples and a drive that says install what do i do from here? [16:37] PedRy: thanks for your help .

I used unetbootin to make a bootable flashdrive, booted onto it into ubuntu then just clicked on install. My HDD was already formatted clean before I did that though, rebooted in and using it now [16:40] usr13: that just creates symbolic links between the startup script (which i still don't have) in /etc/init.d/ and /etc/rcx.d :) [16:40] hi guys [16:41] may i ask a question [16:41] klinac: don't ask to ask - ask [16:41] ^^ [16:41] klinac: and what would you have done if we said "no"? leave the channel?

[16:49] Trevkor: try test downloads from a live cd, to see if the problem is network-related or not. [16:49] dronix: It sais that its made for every Windows except Vista. Is it still compatible? [16:50] Scensis^: thats only going to remove your grub menu, after taht u need to bot your ubuntu installation cd, go to your partition editor and remove any partition other than windows [16:50] dronix, I plugged in PS2 mouse and keyboard rebooted and that fixed the issue so then I unplugged it and plugged in teh usb keyboard and mouse rebooted and it seemed to solve whatever was going on [16:50] weird [16:50] Trevkor, if you're download drops in the VM is it still high on Windows ? [16:50] dayo, anything that supports mldonkey should also work [16:50] nado: Yes, I am. None of the other VMs (or the base machine) I've tried have had the problem.

The base machine. XP VM, Vista VM, and my Fedora VM. [16:51] dronix: Ah, nice. So would i run the mbrfix now and then delete the ubuntu partition? and then Windows would be able to read it? [16:51] this not italian? [16:51] any idea why the only media key that doesn't work for me is the play/pause button? [16:51] Trevkor, try to start a download in Windows when the rate drops in the VM. If it's still low on Windows it might not come from the VM or Ubuntu [16:51] Trevkor, ok [16:51] usr13: nah, i've seen that already.. he doesn't address automatic startup.. and he's a bit of a noob himself :) [16:52] nado: I've tried that, and it's high on the Windows side of things, but the Ubuntu side stays low. [16:52] Trevkor, it could either come from the VM configuration, or the Ubuntu configuration [16:52] Scensis^: not quite, the mbrfix removes the grub menu, u know the loader that lets u choose betweeen loading ubuntu or windows [16:52] I'm having a problem with an Ubuntu install.

It's hard to tell what your problem could be [16:53] Hi, could anybody tell me how to change the font size of legend in Gnuplot? [16:53] nado: I had assumed that I had most likely mis-configured something, though I've no what it is. I've tried adjusting both VM settings and Ubuntu settings, especially the ones concerning connectivity to a network, and it doesn't seem to change anything. [16:53] now i have intrepid, how can i install jaunty over intrepid ? [16:54] dronix: Yea, i got that. But after i removed every partition except Windows.

I simply got so frustrated with it that I had to ask someone for help. It took over 2 hours to download a few small updates the other day. [16:54] Trevkor, are you using NAT or Bridged to share the network interface ? or have you tried both ? [16:54] what is jaunty?

[16:55] paint? [16:55] :p [16:56] can anyone help with java and firefox [16:56] Trevkor: next step might be to run a packet sniffer on the interface in the ubuntu vm, and see if there's a lot of garbage traffic. also, check the number of received and dropped packets with ifconfig. [16:56] dronix: I guess it seems to have worked, it installed but nothing has really changed I'm guessing it's all working, I'd restart but im downloading system updates first. [16:56] for flash? uhm... [16:56] gRunt: try running compiz [16:57] not youtube flash but like making flash animations [16:57] sipior: Will do.

[16:59] I see [16:59] you can get it in synaptic [16:59] I actually like it kinda boring to be honest but ill give it a look :) [16:59] gRunt, you should check quick tutorials on the ubuntu forums on how to install, or look online [16:59] joejc: you should be able to install flash cs in wine [17:00] yeah so do I gRunt :) [17:00] Can anyone help me with fixing ugly fonts.

Or does it really not matter where I do this....oh and the link https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+question/42556 [17:02] Nalf: sure - or you could boot back to it, sudo apt-get install pastebinit, then just: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit [17:03] Gnea: Ok. thanks. ^_^ [17:04] gRunt: it shouldn't be a problem, in that tutorial u r creating the directory first [17:05] Yeah thats what I figured but obviously pidgin is installed elsewhere I'm guessing unlike windows it doesn't matter where I actually install these for the program to recognise it I suppose [17:05] alrighty well here goes :) [17:06] ahh the joys of 404 [17:08] greetings i have postfix/dovecot installed but not entirely configured.

I have looked at iwconfig and everything is set to what it should be. i have connected to other peoples routers when this is happening and received the same slow speeds.

[17:12] jamesclayden1983: not that i have anything close to an answer, what kind of card is it? [17:13] Keiichi25 - I used to Run Debian on DL380 G3's(albeit with 72Gb disks) with no problem, the scsi card is well supported and works. It may be an idea to take a look at what else (if anything) is going on during the format. [17:13] Danbhgfive: No idea... According to one of my parent company users... They were able to install ubuntu with 2 terabytes. But their system is using SAS drives versus SATA drives.

But whatever, offtopic! say no more [17:15] Hello everyone, how can i check which kernel i am using and how to delete the older ones? [17:15] if i log back on the server and issue one outbound icmp request i am then able to log back in again [17:15] zamba: try initiating the connection with the "-v" switch for ssh. see if anything useful is reported. [17:15] what's wrong here? [17:15] sipior: ok [17:15] zamba: also, might someone have turned off the ssh server whilst you were logged in? [17:16] sipior: no, it's on [17:16] sipior: i'm the only one using the server.. it's freshly installed [17:16] sipior: it's running as a vmware guest.. that has to be noted [17:16] So your suggestion is to try and make it so that I have a partition no bigger than 1 terabyte? [17:16] Eesh this is a crazy learning curve, im looking at the vlc website and it says I can download through synaptic but I can't see it there when I do a quick search :s [17:16] zamba: ah, that is important, yes. what's the host os? [17:16] sipior: but that shouldn't matter.. i have other guest os-es running ubuntu on the same vmware host, so that shouldn't be the problem [17:17] Or that I need to reconfigure the system so it doesn't have more than a terabyte of disk space in a Raid 5 configuration? [17:17] Is there anyone who could help me fix a sound problem in Ubuntu 8.04? Basically, it doesn't work (neither pulse, nor alse), although everything is ok in other operating systems. [17:17] jamesclayden1983: bleh, i have an ipw2200 intel card, not sure if this is true, but read it since last time i needed to fix my card, try setting the speed lower from the 54mbps to idk, 5.5, supposedly helps with range and connection. sorry if that info is completely wrong [17:17] sipior: 2.4.21-57.ELvmnix [17:17] sipior: and there, it's up again [17:17] Keiichi25: well, it would have nothing to do with your problem, sorry if I distracted you. Meet me in -offtopic, and maybe I can find the link [17:17] sipior: without me doing anything [17:17] ActionParsnip: hi.. can i ask u for someting? [17:18] ActionParsnip: to help me with something [17:18] I need to read a manual on irc, again, where should i go [17:18] if its quick [17:18] i have tried and apparently my card will nor accept changing of speed [17:18] how can see which kernel i am using [17:18] ActionParsnip: need to test my http server [17:18] Oh, and it's not a kernel problem either, since it stopped working at some moment, and booting with previous versions of the kernel didn't help. [17:18] zamba: interesting. check your log files on both systems, matching the times with the strange server behaviour. [17:18] dreamy: address please [17:18] id give u my adress [17:18] ok [17:19] can you install ubuntu on a xfs partition? [17:19] !xfs | bin1010 [17:19] bin1010: xfs is a high-performance journaling filesystem originally developped by Silicon Graphics for their IRIX OS. It is now fully supported by Linux so you can install Ubuntu on it if you wish. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS [17:19] bin1010: I think so [17:19] anyone out there that can help me with the kernel [17:19] MeI: "uname -r" should give you the answer [17:20] this might not be the right place to look, uh! [17:20] MeI: uname -r or cat /proc/version [17:20] got it [17:20] now hard question [17:20] sipior: stuff about ntp [17:20] i have some problems with my system with crashing files, how can recover my file to original with cd? [17:20] sipior: will try deactivate the ntp service and see if that help [17:21] zamba: you'll have to be more specific, i think. can you pastebin a sanitised version of the relevant part of your logs? [17:21] can anyone help me? I want squid to redirect first access to a certain homepage like www.google.com. I thought always_direct would do the trick but no luck [17:21] hola [17:22] MeI: what problems? what files are crashing? what do you mean by 'recover'? [17:22] MeI: It is really difficult to understand your question. :) Is your system crashing, or are your files corrupted, or both?

[17:26] zamba: interesting that you don't see a notice about sshd going down. does connecting to the server specifying the "-v" switch give any useful information? [17:26] hi guys!! [17:26] hi [17:26] anyone here using a GA-EP45-DS3L board (or similar) who can tell me about the compatibility with ubuntu? [17:26] sipior: after it's down?

[17:27] gnea, http://paste.ubuntu.com/130250/ [17:28] bretticus: what kind of gfx card do u have? [17:28] zamba: no, i meant when you can connect, does anything look odd about the connection. also, specifying the -v switch will return a useful response when the connection is terminated at the other end.

[17:30] I've got a problem [17:30] HI guys, iam new to squid... and I wish to employ it to cloak all the users on the network... my question is .. do i need transproxy to accomplish this.. or only the default install? [17:31] n3m3s1s: what do you mean under "root maintainance"? a recovery mode of Ubuntu? [17:31] bretticus: I think you'll need the ati catalys control center, it'll give u all the resolutions supported by your external monitor [17:31] yes macrobad [17:31] I updated ubuntu yesterday and window frames of applications went away [17:31] epaphus: what do you mean by "cloak"? [17:31] I have it, but it doesn't seem to either detect my monitor or it just doesn't have that option [17:31] espacious: nat already does that for you..? [17:31] Can anybody help me? [17:31] i've been having problems with ntp server (it didn't let me boot ubuntu) so i disinstalled it [17:32] but still won't boot [17:32] personal problem and I am boring ... put in the LTSP ubuntu8.10 to run ... and the way nbi.img will APCI off ... i turn the terminal of an error, and recommend putting APCI = Force ... . but I do it using the nbi.img? [17:32] zamba, so squid can easily be set up to function as a nat? [17:32] dronix: just says "analog monitor" [17:32] ehh [17:32] n3m3s1s: Ok, but do you have net connection? What kind of errors prevent Ubuntu from accomplishing the boot process? [17:32] bretticus: is it a computer monitor or someting else? [17:32] ok so i posted in my thread [17:32] zamba, i need to allow users in my network to be able to use the proxy.. and sometimes users outside the network to use the proxy as well [17:33] dronix: it's a computer monitor [17:33] how can i open gnome-terminal using --working-directory=sftp://xpto [17:33] dronix: a Envision EN9110 to be exact [17:33] umm, one thing i can;t seem to find a bit random: in fluxbox, I can;t seem to get the background to stay in after i restart [17:33] sipior: any ideas? [17:33] Gnea: Are you still around? [17:33] gotta do it in the terminal eevry tinme [17:33] bretticus: and I'm guessing you've been able to use that resolution on that monitor before, correct? [17:34] macrobad, it used to get stuck on "starting ntp server ntpd" under the nework configuration... now it gets stuck on network configuration because i disinstalled the ntp [17:34] dronix: yes, in windows it works fine [17:34] dronix: well, it has that mode === XLV_ is now known as XLV === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [17:35] !netsplit [17:35] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [17:35] Gnea: very sorry. I get annoyed easy. [17:35] Nalf: yes [17:35] netsplit!

(i know there was an app that wasnt installed with fluxbox that i needed to get it to work) [17:36] jensendied: yep, that's ow i do it [17:36] zamba: unfortunately i have to be off to catch my train. best of luck sorting out the problem! [17:36] dronix: reconfiguring x just doesn't give me that mode [17:36] it just doesnt stay [17:36] Nalf: do you have an internet connection when booted up? [17:36] n3m3s1s: hm... Well, if all you need is configure network connection from the recovery mode, you just need to put in proper config in /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf files, and then run '/etc/init.d/networking restart' to apply the changes [17:37] tombom62: ah, didn't see anything from ya so I had forgotten..sorry [17:37] dronix: I have tried to use a mode line under screen for that res, but then x crashes. [17:37] 's ok. [17:37] Gnea: I do, I think, but sudo apt-get install fails. sudo fdisk -l to see where I need to copy the files to.. fails. [17:37] macrobad, :S:S any online guide on how to do that? === madAdam is now known as madAdam|2 [17:37] Gnea: It just hangs there and does nothing (that I can see).

The format is as follows: "nameserver 208.67.222.222", one nameserver per line [17:39] can i start gnome-terminal in a ftp directory?

Better yet, backup both files before changing (I should add this advice to my signature) [17:42] bretticus: I think you're gonna have to modify your xorg.conf [17:42] I made a packaging request on Launchpad, but it hasn't gone anywhere for about a year.

The first and better one is to install libpam-gnome-keyring package and to reboot. Check if it works. [18:11] Raj: you did download the file right? [18:11] madAdam: By the way, I believe they fixed this problem in more recent versions of Ubuntu... [18:12] Is it possible to chage the default system language in Ubuntu ? and if it's so how ?

[18:21] n3m3s1s: hm, then you can 1). press Ctrl+Alt+F8 and possibly see any error messages, or 2). press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get access to console and log in. There you may try to look what kind of error messages the system spits out. You can use 'dmesg' program for it like in 'dmesg | less', or just go to /var/log/, and try to look there for appropriate log files. [18:21] hello all [18:21] Ornedan:u tried this?:http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_8.10_(Intrepid_Ibex)_on_a_ThinkPad_T61 [18:21] n3m3s1s: In order to get back to GUI, press Ctrl+Alt+F7 [18:22] Does anyone have any suggestions for a video capture device with low latency that works decent with linux?

[18:29] <_uv> sometimes it wedges when I am browsing through the snaps I took, sometimes when using vlc... sometimes when using mythtv [18:30] _uv: Well, I thought it might be related to some driver problem. In this case there should be some pattern. [18:30] Can someone please help me to force my harddrives to unmount? [18:30] Can I use a VM created by qemu/kvm in virtualbox? [18:30] !patience | sid [18:30] sid: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available.

[18:31] sid: when I can't get answers here, I often get them in the forums [18:31] <_uv> and the strange part is that the logs dont give a clue [18:31] _uv: which video chipset?

[19:10] DepthSort: I think handbrake has presets for that [19:10] The I used WinFF as per the wiki entry [19:10] how come when i used apt-get netbeans it installed 6.1 and not 6.5 [19:10] But it's all jumpy on the ipod [19:10] ok....noone can help me :-( [19:10] <_VIM_> !latest | coreyman [19:10] coreyman: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [19:11] nightdrever: have you check the supported cams, installation wiki? [19:11] yea... i could have sworn 6.5 had been stable for a long time now [19:11] George2: press Ctrl+F to open the search prompt. Btw, it's called Nautilus, not Explorer. [19:11] how?

[19:12] <_VIM_> coreyman: stable on other distros maybe, but not Ubuntu/Debian [19:12] nope [19:12] dunno how too [19:12] _VIM_ has anyone even tried it?....... [19:13] How do I configure apt to ignore all but a few packages in a certain repository? [19:13] <_VIM_> coreyman: maybe someone made a PPA for it, ill check [19:14] How does one browse a Windows network from Ubuntu? [19:14] can anyone help with backuppc problem? [19:14] Guys, I updated to ubuntus newest version and many things no longer work. [19:14] !anyone | tommy1 [19:14] tommy1: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [19:14] Ardorin, 8.10 or 9.04? [19:15] is there a good way to pull a list of installed packages from a filesystem that isn't currently mounted? I'm booted off a livecd and will be reinstalling, I have my old drive mounted [19:15] ubottu I did previously and no one replied [19:15] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:15] I'm deleting a lot of img, rm -fr /img/ ( like thousands) my box its like locked, some services stop working, 50% of the cpu is used by iowait, what can I do? [19:15] ZykoticK9, I think 9. [19:15] Ornedan: Not sure if it's exactly what you need, but 'man apt.conf' may help you. I managed to make apt stick to a specific version of a package with apt.conf. [19:15] Specifically, I want one program + it's doc package from a PPA. But said PPA contains somewhat broken versions of other packages with newer versions than in main repositories, so I'd prefer not to have them installed [19:15] <_VIM_> coreyman: maybe this: https://launchpad.net/~yulia-novozhilova/+archive/ppa/+files/netbeans_6.5-0ubuntu1~ppa1_all.deb [19:15] hi every on can i know how can i get involved in any open source project [19:15] I wanna go back to my old version. [19:15] * Gnea looks oddly at tommy1 [19:15] Ardorin, then you need the channel #ubuntu+1 [19:15] Everything worked perfect then. [19:15] Is it possible to use unallocated partition to extended an allocated partition ?

[19:16] Ornedan: perhaps, set that repository the lowest priority, but assign a high one for the specific package [19:16] Ardorin, you can easily check with "cat /etc/issue" [19:16] tommy1: if no one responds, try asking again in 5 minutes.. try to put as much detail into the question as you can [19:16] yea _VIM_ i was just wondering why a sudo apt-get netbeans installs 6.1 instead of 6.5 [19:16] I have a form on my site that people post to, what can I use to have it post to a remote form as well, but something from the user, not the server. Anyone have an idea? [19:16] Hello all [19:16] so hi, question, can I make qt3/4 apps look like gnome apps/ [19:16] <_VIM_> coreyman: as i said, ubuntu aims for stability :) [19:16] i want amarok to look less rubbish [19:17] Surely I am not the only person to want to print on a printer on a Windows machine... shit.

Nothing has changed on the machines. [19:18] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:18] I think ubuntu's super simple ;\ [19:18] imachine: Nope.

[19:18] the99zChris, sounds fun. there was a ubuntu derivative with lxde. === samuel is now known as SamuelF [19:18] Ascavasaion: ubottu's a bot. not a real person. i triggered it by typing !cups | Ascavasaion [19:18] the99zChris, they renamed it to u-light or something. [19:18] u-lite ;] [19:18] Ascavasion: you need samba [19:18] dayo: Oh... very well. [19:18] ubottu is is the smartest one here :P [19:18] dronix: he may very well not need samba, actually [19:19] Ascavasaion, what's the log say? [19:19] No ZykoticK9, my mistake, I currently have 8.04. Same channel? [19:19] more specifically i have lxde and gnome but lxde doesn't recognise my volume, play stop etc buttons [19:19] _VIM_ error: dependancy is not satisfiable libnb-platform9-java [19:19] dronix: Samba is installed...

[19:19] thanks [19:19] use the IP then [19:19] hi guys... i just installed ubuntu.. but when I play mp3s the sound goes out like karakoke.. supressing the voices... anybody know how to fix this? [19:19] Ascavasaion, and you have not upgraded/changed/did anything with your local machine? [19:19] i know its really busy here but can someomone please help me with an urgent problem?:( [19:19] ascavasaion same here [19:19] Spliffeh, don't ask to ask [19:19] <_VIM_> coreyman: on that same page, you'll see java libs [19:19] the computer name is pulled off wins, which is windows specific [19:19] imachine: Only the recommnded updates from Ubuntu. [19:20] I tried to access backuppc, after using synaptic to install it, with firefox http//tommy1-desktop/backuppc and get not found. If I take 'backuppc' off the statement I get 'it works'. Any ideas? [19:20] Ascavasaion, anything regarding samba? look into /var/log/dpkg.log [19:20] where could i find....logitech quickcam v11.1 ubuntu driver and how do i install it? [19:20] coreyman: I am so glad someone else is struggling. [19:20] Spliffeh: only one way to find out. [19:20] I made a packaging request on Launchpad, but it hasn't gone anywhere for about a year. Is there anything I can do to get my favourite program packaged for Ubuntu and added to the repositories? [19:20] i have network connection established but i cant get on the internet [19:20] you can define host names with IP with the host tab in the network manager [19:20] both wireless as wired [19:20] ghindo, you can try voting that program. [19:20] ghindo, I think launchpad supports votes.. [19:20] I'm completely new to ubuntu in particular and Linux in general, where can I find the Python OpenGL and GTKGLE libraries for using 3D? [19:20] SamuelF, apt-get [19:21] ? [19:21] SamuelF, or, synaptic as a frontend to dpkg/apt. [19:21] logitech quickcam v11.1 ubuntu driver...........where can i download it.....and how do i install? [19:21] imachine: Cool, I'll check it out! Thanks [19:21] <_VIM_> coreyman: https://launchpad.net/~yulia-novozhilova/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/484207/+listing-archive-extra [19:21] SamuelF, they're available in the binary repositories, so just fetch them from there. [19:21] Spliffeh: check your router and modem, if the computer says your networked, that just means your on the local net [19:21] I can't bring up wlan0, I get errors about "Set Mode" (8B06), "Set Encode" (8B2A), Device or resource busy. I've set it according to this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/ShareEthernetConnectionThroughWireless [19:21] SamuelF, such as, sudo apt-get install py-opengl or whatever it's called. [19:21] SamuelF, synaptic is graphical so probably easier to use at first. [19:21] Ascavasion: edit your /etc/hosts add your sambe server xxx.xxx.xxx.xx hostname [19:21] Um, that makes no sense to me. I need "click here and then click there" style instructions. [19:21] Spliffeh, can you ping your gateway? [19:22] logitech quickcam v11.1 ubuntu driver????? [19:22] SamuelF, so use synaptic. [19:22] <_VIM_> coreyman: or try this one https://launchpad.net/~yulia-novozhilova/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/484207/+files/libnb-platform-devel-java_6.5-0ubuntu1~ppa2_all.deb [19:22] uhmm i cant seem to enable login as root with kdm [19:22] lol @ SamualF [19:22] SamuelF, by the way you worded your requirements, I figured you're advanced enough to run a package manager :) [19:22] i'm on the same router here, everything works, i can get onto other computers but i can not get on any website, i have tried it at 2 different places [19:22] SamuelF: system > administration > Snaptic Package Manager [19:22] thats for gnome [19:22] guides ive tried told me to change a kdmrc from false to true in a certain line like AllowRootLogin but there is no such line [19:22] Spliffeh, so, dns issues huh [19:22] logitech quickcam v11.1 ubuntu driver????????/ help anyone? [19:23] can i reset it somehow? [19:23] Spliffeh, maybe you've enabled some weird proxy setup for firefox or whatever www browser you use. [19:23] Spliffeh, sure, restart your connection. [19:23] hi guys... i just installed ubuntu.. but when I play mp3s the sound goes out like karakoke.. supressing the voices... anybody know how to fix this? [19:23] i have restarted connection [19:23] but check first through console, with say 'host google.com' or 'ping www.google.com' [19:23] also apt-get doesnt work [19:23] if it resolves to an ip and pings, you're okay. [19:23] and the problem resides in the proxy setup. [19:23] Ascavasaion: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=683450 [19:23] or whtaever else. [19:23] otherwise, it's the dns. [19:23] Spliffeh: invoke your router and make sure you have a public IP on it [19:23] imachine: Yes, the installation of it is listed there. [19:23] does anyone have a soultion to random x crashes with this error? Mar 12 11:48:35 shifty5 gdm[13622]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 [19:24] epaphus: sudo apt-get install w32codecs [19:24] i've found bug reports but no soultion [19:24] Kriss3d: i may be wrong but that directive looks like a /etc/ssh/sshd_config directive. [19:24] Gnea: Will have a look there. [19:24] Ascavasaion, so, you'd be best reverting to some older version of samba, or looking in the forums for an update as to how to fix it. [19:24] new kernel, how to install it to ubuntu 8.04? [19:24] truckin, uhmm ssh directive ? im just trying to be able to log in as root with kdm [19:24] Ascavasaion, if you haven't used apt-get autoclean, you still might have your old samba packages in /var/cache/apt/archives [19:25] Anybody able to tell me where the PATH environment variable is set? [19:25] Ascavasaion, and you can just install that directly with dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/particular-archive-file.deb [19:25] Ascavasaion: that sounds like a simliar issue that you're having, so it seems rather straight-forward [19:25] if i do a ping of google it says: unknown host google.com [19:25] huufarted, for a single user its in .profile in your home dir [19:25] Spliffeh, so it's your router/dns. [19:25] hey guys is there a sudo command to download backtrack 3 or 4 ? [19:25] reboot your router. [19:25] reboot your ubuntu [19:25] simplest. [19:25] imachine: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:25] shifty5, by default it's .bashrc [19:25] kernel 2.6.25, how to install it to Ubuntu 8.04? [19:25] huufarted, sorry thats the one [19:25] i have rebooted ubuntu, i have reconnected and i can't get connected at work nor at home [19:25] Kriss3d: i don't know if kdm allows root login, gdm will, but requires a slight edit. [19:26] okay brb [19:26] do compiz effects work in kde4 also, or just gnome? [19:26] lates. [19:26] Ok, so now I have 8.10, and I want to go back to my old version. [19:26] truckin, well it doesnt allow rootlogin but many sites tell its possible. only problem is it doesnt work when i edit the kdmrc [19:26] CrIP, backtrack is a distribution, it has nothing to do with ubuntu commands :-? [19:26] How do I get this done? [19:26] both kde and gnome, compiz is awesome [19:26] Nothing works now. [19:26] Ascavasaion: this one even has screenshots for both ends: http://www.watchingthenet.com/connecting-to-shared-printers-on-windows-computers.html [19:26] looks nicer in gnome tho [19:26] is there a way to spit out an entire man page to the CLI without pausing? Similar to how 'cat' outputs? [19:26] what is used as a user tmp directory ? [19:27] ZeZu, temporary files :) [19:27] so i cant install its feauters in unbuntu ??/ 9back tracks) [19:27] is there a way to reset all things related to internet on ubuntu?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:27] fosco_, [19:27] CrIP, you can install any program you want, i don't understand you [19:28] Huufarted: i wasn't speaking to anyone in particular [19:28] Spliffeh: your ubuntu proly doesnt have any issues, im pretty sure your router isnt connected to the net, thus anything on the router wont connect to the net [19:28] Huufarted: should i be? [19:28] fosco_: where is temporary files located ?// [19:28] ZeZu, good point. [19:28] ZeZu, /tmp [19:28] i have the back trax 4 live cd, it will let me boot the cd when my pc syarts but its runs live and there is no install, cani run it thruu ubuntu ? [19:28] sharef_ i am using my router right now but with another computer, it also didnt open webpages at work [19:29] fosco_: are you sure? it seems to contain only a few things and no temp files, and i'm pretty sure something has a lot of them that haven't been deleted [19:29] CrIP, no, they are different distributions [19:29] ZeZu: /tmp/ [19:29] is there a installable copy of it fosco_ ? [19:29] zezu, are you talking about temporary files from the package manager? [19:30] CrIP, this is ubuntu support, not backtrack support [19:30] is there a installable copy of it fosco_ ?? [19:30] last question [19:30] :P [19:30] shifty5: temporary files from applications useage [19:30] CrIp: why not install the tools from back track in ubuntu [19:30] ZykoticK9, you there man? === _Rolanditu\Afk is now known as Rolanditu\Afk [19:30] dronix, sudo apt-get install w32codecs yields..

[19:32] CrIp: go the backtrack site, and look up the tools installed, and install the ones u need into ubuntu, make sure they work on gnome, as backtrack use kde [19:32] Whats better for preloaded ubuntu laptops system76 or dell? [19:32] ok [19:32] ty [19:32] shifty5: what disk useage util? i only know cmdline s tuff really [19:32] epaphus: do u have update manager or synaptic manager open?

[19:32] disk usage analyzer [19:33] ok what is the last part of the file name called in ubuntu webcam drivers? [19:34] the last part of a filename is called the extension [19:34] exe [19:34] it could be anything [19:34] or what channel would be more appropriate to ask about prevu in? ;) [19:34] the linuxkernels from kernel.org are called vanilla kernels rigth? [19:34] in terminal how do i switch to a directory with a space like The Under Taker [19:34] TheUnderTaker: put the whole directory name in quotes [19:34] should i be able find the driver on the installation disc for xp? [19:34] nightdrever: Extensions are a windows thing. Programs don't have specific filenames. [19:34] nightdrever: exe is only in windows [19:35] Raylz: yes.

DIdn't know there was a bash channel. :) [19:37] Raylz: afaik there aren't any vanilla packages in ubuntu, if you want a vanilla kernel you have to download the source and build it yourself. [19:37] ok could someone help me install a driver for logitech quickcam v11.1 [19:37] gparted is a frontend for parted, no? [19:37] Huufarted: yeah, just make sure it actually is bash and not /bin/sh [19:37] freegoo: as in GPT w/ MBR compatibility stuff? [19:37] brack101, it's bash. [19:37] shifty5: and some other tools, like ntfsresize [19:37] k [19:37] Q: Dose anyone know where Mobloquer saves the IP's that you have whitelisted ? [19:37] brack101, correction, it's ksh. I see your point. [19:37] I just bought a logictech quickcam how do I get the mic to work [19:37] yeah [19:37] Gnea: Okay, I followed that solution you posted... it did not work... but when I replaced the remote windows computer's name with its current IP it works. How can I get the machine to browse the network using the computer's name? [19:38] Raylz: I'm not sure you'd really want a vanilla kernel though, since the ubuntu ones include important extra drivers and patches identified after each kernel release. [19:38] unit3: i read in serveral news that ubuntu now offres vanilla kernels [19:38] Huufarted: they're probably still the right people, but make sure they know what it is [19:38] is pangolin performance worth the 814$? [19:38] Raylz: hrm... well, I don't see them in my package sources. any idea when this was supposed to happen? got a link to one of the news sources?

[19:40] nonix4: why does ubuntu use grub, from what i can see version one does not support gpt [19:40] !hardware | nightdrever , check there [19:40] nightdrever , check there: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [19:40] Raylz: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds [19:40] Looks like they have it still separate from the main package archives, but they're there. [19:40] Zezu: that estatement, its looking to see if you have a network, -ne = network, 0=no network [19:40] I just bought a logictech quickcam how do I get the mic to work.... [19:40] but again, mostly useful just to test that Ubuntu packages haven't broken something, not for running full time. [19:41] nightdrever: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [19:41] unit3: so they are vanilla right? [19:41] I just bought a logictech quickcam how do I get the mic to work.... [19:41] Raylz: I believe so yes, that's how the page reads. [19:41] dronix, i dont.. i think the package you are looking for is named differently? [19:41] <_VIM_> dronix: that was meant for Huufarted waSn' [19:41] hey guys [19:41] <_VIM_> wasn't it?* [19:41] so other than backing up my /etc/apt/sources.list and my xorg.conf and my home directory, which other files would I likely want to keep if I'm reinstalling and switching architectures? [19:42] dronix: think you have me confused with someone else asking a bash question .. but i dont know that $? means network, its a generic for something else in the script? (maybe so if its a network script) [19:42] Lenin_Cat: try gstreamer-properties [19:42] I am doing a new ubuntu install...how big should my swap partition be? [19:42] <_VIM_> ZeZu: he meant for someone else [19:42] bin1010: how much ram do you have, and how much HDD space do you have? [19:42] hah /var has 20GB in it ! [19:42] Can anyone help me with an X issue? I have no gui. <.< http://pastebin.com/mbc80d8b [19:43] Why does my Ubuntu machine not resolve remote Windows XP machine's computer name?

I tried to "./configure && make" but i get an error that says I need the development files for GTK+ 2 [19:43] I have 500GB hdd and 8G RAM [19:43] i know it used to be 2*RAM, but 16G seems big [19:43] bin1010: well, you don't swap [19:43] martin_henry: Download the devel package, for gtk. ^_^ [19:43] sorry, I just lost my train of thought, got confused, who was asking what [19:43] Nalf: pastebot your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [19:43] ok my cam works on egika....how do i get it to work on skype? [19:43] bin1010: no, that advice is for windows95 [19:43] unit3: http://pastebin.com/mbc80d8b [19:43] freegoo: guess enough ppl haven't complained yet... or maybe they're all using rEFIt? Dunno... [19:44] nalf: ok, i will try then try to install wxGTK again, thanks [19:44] nightdrever: if it works in one it should work in the other, sounds like a skype bug. [19:44] hey guys, iam trying to install w32codecs... but it says Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.... anybody can help me? [19:44] I won't swap? what do you mean [19:44] epaphus: old package, no longer exists or is useful afaik. what do you need it for? [19:44] martin_henry: Anytime. [19:44] epaphus: open synaptic manager and search for w32codecs [19:44] Nalf, bad driver for your vga device [19:44] epaphus, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu you need to add the medibuntu repo === DigitalFiz_ is now known as DigitalFiz [19:44] ZeZu: How do I fix that without the internet? [19:44] Nalf, why dont you have net ? [19:44] I am having a problem installing the drivers for my 9800gtx nvidia card [19:45] Nalf: without the internet it'll be very tough, since you need the binary drivers for your ATI card (RV770) [19:45] epaphus: are all your reopsitories enabled? i'm checking my intrepid box...stay tuned [19:45] bin1010: if you want to be able to hibernate, you need at least as much swap as ram you are using. But, you don't need swap. Thats what I meant to say. I have 2g ram, and swap _never_ got used, so I just go without. [19:45] ZeZu: Not in range for ethernet and I have a WUSB54gs. [19:45] Nalf, also most of the drivers are probably intalled already [19:45] Nalf: you could download the driver packages for your kernel and cart them over on USB, that's about it. You need new drivers. [19:45] unit3: I have a wubi install, I can just download them on windows and toss them in a folder. [19:45] Nalf, other than the binary ones, what card do you have ? [19:45] hmmmm thats new [19:45] bin1010: with a such amount of RAM... You don't need swap [19:46] Is there a forum for kernel developement under ubuntu, i think i'm not in the right place ! [19:46] ZeZu: ATI Radeon HD 4850 (two of them) [19:46] What disk I/o Schedular does ubuntu use by defualt? [19:46] if i've set my ssh to work on a specific port (not 22), how do I scp a file (e.g., how do I incorporate the port into it)? I'm trying using -P but it doesn't seem to work [19:46] zezu: Connected hdmi.. but it uses a DVI---> HDMI adapter. [19:46] VaSavoir: I believe there's a dev channel that'd be better, but don't remember the name right now. [19:46] народ [19:46] nalf: i cant find any package with "gtk" and "dev" [19:46] well i knew I haven't been using much of the swap and I know I will never hibernate...its a desktop [19:46] does the stock ubuntu installer support installing to reiserfs? [19:46] Nalf, do you know what driver your using in /etc/Xorg.conf ? [19:46] ok thank unit3 [19:46] Nalf, try using the "radeon" driver [19:46] VaSavoir: try #ubuntu-kernel [19:46] panik: have you used envy-ng to grab and package the latest NV drivers? [19:47] zezu: There is no driver in Xorg.conf [19:47] ok how do i uninstall skype on ubuntu? [19:47] zezu: I don't even know how to remotely go about editing my Xorg.conf <.< [19:47] Nalf, well maybe its time to learn, or else there is a menu config for x ... i forget the specifics, use the google ! [19:47] epaphus: install medibuntu repo for w32codecs [19:48] ok how do i uninstall skype on ubuntu? [19:48] CTPAHHuK: народ присутствует [19:48] oh - guess you have to put it right after scp, e.g., scp -P 9 [19:48] nightdrever: did you install from package? if so, just go to synaptic and remove it. [19:48] nightdrever: get skype and install it ! [19:48] nalf: i cant find any package with "gtk" and "dev" :( [19:48] sooo there still isnt a new ncurses gui for configuring display and video card? sinds it was removed from reconfigure blabla?? [19:48] zezu: Nod nod. It's just a pain without internet in ubuntu because I have to keep booting back into vista in order to use teh power of google. t.t. [19:48] <_VIM_> martin_henry: i found a audacity 1.3.7 (there's a 64 bit one as well) https://launchpad.net/~bdrung/+archive/ppa/+files/audacity_1.3.7-2+patch1~ppa1_i386.deb [19:48] martin_henry: Try gtk-devel? [19:48] its not in synapic [19:48] nightdrever: then how did you install it? [19:49] duton: are you looking for an interface to xrandr? [19:49] user.log.0 is 9.7gb !!! [19:49] dont know....was the other day [19:49] nalf: where is the amd64? [19:49] wtf gives logs this big ? [19:49] nalf: thanks [19:49] martin_henry: Couldn't tell ya.:P [19:50] whats the sudo command to install karma or hotspots on ubuntu ????? [19:50] i've got a real good bug for you guys [19:50] Mar 12 05:57:37 null-desktop pulseaudio[4151]: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_avail_update() returned a value that is exceptionally large: 13835057464506092544 bytes (414944445712 ms) Most likely this is a Linux bug. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers [19:50] leaving logs that are ~10GB [19:50] full of this ;| [19:50] nalf: could u link me to where u got that download link? [19:50] why ubuntu live cd does not encourage user to set a root password on the first time you enter in the system? [19:51] how do i change the I/O Scheduler? [19:51] hallo === jens is now known as Guest3859 [19:51] whats the sudo command to install karma or hotspots on ubuntu ????? [19:51] martin_henry: What package is your install calling for again? [19:51] guest97905, ubuntu uses sudo for root access, so unless you set a root password manually it doesn't have one [19:51] hallo [19:52] !sudo | Guest97905 [19:52] Guest97905: 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) === Guest97905 is now known as a1 [19:52] will it work if my friend installs a ubuntu on his pc and then just transfers the hdd on my PC? [19:52] CrIP maybe you meant apt-get [19:52] both PCs are fairly modern but may have differenct video cards etc [19:52] alesan:similar hardware ? [19:52] nalf: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/130316/ [19:52] shifty5: it leads to unauthorized enter to the system! [19:52] DasEI, I cannot assume is identical thou [19:52] alesan: I've done that, it worked [19:53] alesan, that depends on what you intend to do with the hdd [19:53] alesan: as long as they're the same arch: 32bit or 64bit [19:53] duton, yeah i did whats the apt-get install commanf for them [19:53] al, no it doesn't because with no root password you cant log in as root [19:53] nalf: that's when i try to ./configure && make [19:53] alesan: you get problems with xserver configuration, but you can work through it [19:53] alesan:least the architecture of cpu / bridges shall be similar, not a very good idea [19:53] ok thanks [19:53] al, also remote root login is disabled my default [19:54] thankfully [19:54] a1: try setting a root pw and see if you can get into it remotely :) [19:55] whats the sudo apt-get install command to install karma or hotspots on ubuntu ????? [19:55] hi there [19:55] martin_henry: You need the libs, then..http://www.gtk.org/download-linux.html [19:55] Why do I need to use my IP address in samba (ie. smb://192.168.0.2/) instead of the Windows machine's name? [19:55] crip, use the synaptic package manager [19:56] Crip, apt-cache search karma ? [19:56] what's the best app to wipe free disk space on a mounted filesystem? [19:56] Nalf, martin_henry: gtk's libs are in the repositories [19:56] Louis, dd [19:56] Louis, dd [19:56] Ascavasaion: unless you have DNS or WINS setup to share the netbios name, it's not going to know it [19:56] Ascavasaion, because it's not registered in dns [19:56] shifty5: somebody entered unauthorized on my ubuntu system and i realized there was not root password configured is it usual? [19:56] martin_henry: Listen to Pici! :D [19:56] pici, nalf: i can't seem to determine what I need i guess [19:56] al, yes [19:56] Ascavasaion: and if it's a XP or Vista system, then it definitely isn't [19:56] Quehora, frostburn: is it in the repositories and do you guys know of a tutorial I can look at? [19:57] al, all done through sudo by default [19:57] also, does it run form the command line? [19:57] Louis, it's installed by default, type man dd [19:57] Gnea: Yes, it is a Win XP box. [19:57] Quehora, apt-cache search will show you the list [19:57] frostburn: thanks [19:57] martin_henry: What are you trying to install that requires them? [19:57] pici, nalf: audacity 1.3.7 says it needs wxwidgets, which from what i can determine is = wxGTK [19:57] al, over the internet or your network? [19:58] Ascavasaion: the only way to put in the name of it is to setup a DNS server on your ubuntu system and point all systems on your lan to it. might be more work than you're willing to do, but it is possible. [19:58] Ascavasaion: of course, you could also edit your /etc/hosts file [19:58] does anyone know, where the functions are defined, that can be keybound? e.g. "XF86AudioMute" is bound to volume_mute, but where can I set what volume_mute does? [19:58] Ascavasaion: so scratch that 'only way' bit :) [19:58] pici, nalf: and when i do "./configure && make" on wxGTK 2.8.9 i get http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/130316/ [19:58] I have a strange problem. When I login to a tty as root, my date gets set as UTC (five hours off). When I login as non-root, it shows up correctly. I don't really want to have to run ntp et. al. all the time, as I'm not always on a network. How should I troubleshoot? [19:58] I dont know how to say this properly but there is something wrong with TCP, is there a way to reset, restore or reinstall it? [19:58] martin_henry: sudo apt-get build-dep audacity , that will install all the things that were required to build the version of audacity in the repos. [19:59] Spliffeh: what's the problem, exactly? [19:59] martin_henry: Or just apt-get install audacity, but that won't be version 1.3.7 [19:59] Duddle, A combination of your WM and the helper kernel module for your laptop/media keyboard [19:59] Gnea i can connect to skype(UDP), i can connect to ip's directly, but i cannot use anything TCP related such as internet, e-mail [19:59] pici: yeah, thank you. the version from Applications --> add/remove is a beta and has bugs etc [19:59] how do i install the netbeans for php? [20:00] Spliffeh: so you're on the internet and you can't use the internet? I think you've got a couple wires crossed between Web and Internet. [20:00] coreyman: you have o install php plugin for netbeans [20:00] Spliffeh: can you ping ubuntu.com from the terminal? [20:00] Gnea: no i can't [20:01] Spliffeh: and that uses ICMP, so you've got a network configuration problem [20:01] Quehora, is that caused becaused ubuntu does not encourage seting a root password on the first boot, or is because you paste unknowed pieces of code that fake support community gives you? on your terminal, Shifty5 he camed from the internet a guy called marcobra especifically he contacted me from ubuntu's support blog [20:01] pici: so the build-dep command wants to get a lot of packages. this will install the latest version? or just all the dependencies of the latest? thank you again [20:01] Spliffeh: can you ping your gateway? [20:01] Gnea: router works fine, other pc's are working fine, its just this ubuntu box, it doesnt seem to resolve ip's but skype does work so it's probably TCP? and yes i can ping my gateway [20:02] Spliffeh: can you ping other computers on the lan? [20:02] martin_henry: the dependencies of the version shipped with ubuntu [20:02] martin_henry: Just the dependencies for the current version. Most likely those are fine. [20:02] truckin, i installed it.. but the mp3 still sound the same.. with any player [20:02] al, default for security [20:02] al, have you portscanned your computer? to see if you have open ports that might be exploitable [20:02] Gnea: yes, also all the proper ip's in ifconfig are there...broadcast, dns, gateway... [20:02] Spliffeh: also, check to make sure the ubuntu box is using the same DNS servers that the other systems are [20:03] Who was having issues with those 10 gig log files? [20:03] Spliffeh: k, can the other systems ping ubuntu.com? [20:03] thanks, Quehora [20:03] Gnea: yes, internet works fine on all other pc's and they can ping all websites [20:03] pici, erUSUL: i see. so is it reinstalling anything? because it's unpacking a lot of packages... and i've already had audacity running [20:03] epaphus: did u search for w3codecs on the sypnatic manager? [20:03] I have a strange problem. When I login to a tty as root, my date gets set as UTC (five hours off). When I login as non-root, it shows up correctly. I don't really want to have to run ntp et. al. all the time, as I'm not always on a network. How should I troubleshoot? [20:03] Is the docx to odf converter available in the repositories somewhere? I'm not seeing it and am surprised that its not showing up in any of my searches... [20:03] epaphus: I wasn't aware you wanted w32codecs for mp3 playback, does -any- sound play properly?? [20:04] Spliffeh: hrm, I was asking if you've actually opened a command prompt on one of them and specifically pinged the domain ubuntu.com, not www.ubuntu.com [20:04] martin_henry: well you only install build-dep packages if you are trying to compile the program from source... [20:04] Spliffeh: what does ifconfig say ? [20:04] martin_henry: Its installing the build dependencies, i.e. the libraries needed to compile that package. [20:04] Gnea: every program that uses tcp isn't able to make a connection [20:04] martin_henry: if you just use the prepackaged version you do not need the build dependencies [20:04] truckin, nop.. no mp3 sounds ok.. they all sound like karaoke [20:04] Spliffeh: what kind of router/firewall are you using? [20:05] epaphus: you have sound issues, probably pulseaudio related. [20:05] pici, erUSUL: ah alright. i'm understanding now :) it looks like wxGTK is MAKEing now, so audacity might be next! thank you [20:05] Spliffeh: also, have you tried swapping ethernet cables from one of the other systems with the ubuntu system? [20:05] Gnea: D-link, but i also tried it at work and i couldn't connect there either, both wired and wireless make a connection but its the internet that doesnt work [20:05] martin_henry: i thought (and Pici too i'm sure) you were trying to build audacity from source possibily a newer version than the repo's [20:05] shifty5 i do not understand much of ports, i just changed all my passwords including router's and i destroyed all partitions on my system because a key logger was installed on it, i took of all my money from bank and moved to another..... [20:05] I need some help using the new nvidia drivers [20:05] DasEI: gimme a sec [20:05] Spliffeh: is your /etc/hosts file in good order? [20:05] * Nalf destroys X. [20:05] Spliffeh: what about your /etc/resolv.conf does it look right? [20:06] pici, erUSUL: yes, i am [20:06] panik: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/common-problems-and-solutions-for-nvidia-restricted-drivers-after-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex-upgrade.html [20:06] * Gnea tries not to puke at the mention of d-link [20:06] pici, erUSUL: but i need to build the dependency wxGTK first [20:06] truckin: hosts file is ok [20:06] martin_henry: then you should uninstall the prepackaged version.... ok [20:06] Spliffeh: does /etc/resolv.conf show nameservers? [20:06] !checkinstall | martin_henry [20:06] martin_henry: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [20:07] truckin: no its empty [20:07] pici, erUSUL: i believe that it's something the repo version did not depend on. but not 100% certain. [20:07] Gnea: Okay, I edited the /etc/hosts file... added the appropriate line. but that does not really help my browsing the network... but it does help if I manaully type in the names. but this way I theoretically have to know the name of every computer and share. [20:07] Spliffeh: also, what version of Ubuntu is it? and has it always been not working like this or was it working at one point and then just stopped? [20:07] truckin, hmm where do i look now? [20:07] Gnea: its ubuntu 8.10, it has worked for over a month, it just stopped working today [20:07] epaphus: sound troubleshooting [20:08] anybody else has this issue with the first time install? mp3 files sound without the voice of the singer.......... [20:08] Spliffeh: now we're getting somewhere... when is the last time you installed any updates? [20:08] pici, erUSUL: hmmm i've already run "./configure && make" for wxGTK 2.8.9 :( [20:08] Gnea: 2 days ago i added reps for openoffice 3 [20:08] epaphus: good place to start- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [20:08] Gnea: no updates since [20:09] Spliffeh: okay. so, you say that you have an IP address assigned from the router, but your /etc/resolv.conf is empty, this is correct? [20:09] epaphus: did u do what I recommended? [20:09] Gnea: yes [20:09] E: /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx-177-dev_177.82-0ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb: corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive [20:09] Spliffeh: okay, the problem is that you don't have any DNS servers assigned, so nothing can talk to the internet. [20:09] Gnea: how come skype works then? [20:10] Spliffeh: probably because the IP for the server(s) were written into the configuration and not their hostnames [20:10] pici, erUSUL: it's been spitting stuff out in terminal for a few min now....is that normal? [20:10] Gnea: ok, so how do i fix this then? [20:10] martin_henry: while compiling? yes it is [20:11] Spliffeh: here, try to reach this website: http://91.189.94.9 (it's www.ubuntu.com) [20:11] Spliffeh: it should connect... [20:11] is there an apt package for "say" (as in the OSX command) in Ubuntu (apt)? [20:11] pici, erUSUL: ok cool. i'm used to school assignments that compile in under a minute :P so there's no way to uninstall what i have just told to 'make'? [20:12] Gnea: it says acces is denied [20:12] dronix, iam sorry.. i missed it what did you recommend? [20:12] see the checkinstall factoid i gave you earlier [20:12] epaphus: open up synaptic manager and search for w3codecs [20:12] Spliffeh: that is the correct response. :) [20:12] !checkinstall > martin_henry [20:12] martin_henry, please see my private message [20:12] Kage[Work]: u mean apt-get [20:12] dronix, Yes [20:13] Spliffeh: okay, if you do a ipconfig /all on one of the other computers, you should be able to get the DNS IPs that way, then put them in /etc/resolv.conf [20:13] how many ip's we talking about? === xander is now known as Guest62291 [20:13] erUSUL: i didn't use checkinstall, it was too late [20:13] Kage[Work]: what r u trying to install? or r u trying to make a package installer? [20:13] however many are listed [20:13] usually 2 or 3 [20:14] Gnea: says 1 here: 192.168.1.1 [20:14] dronix, Ever used OSX? Know the "say" command, that converts text to speech via a terminal? [20:14] Is there such a thing for Linux? [20:14] !checkinstall > usr13 [20:14] usr13, please see my private message [20:14] Spliffeh: then use that one [20:14] Or specifically for Ubuntu? [20:14] dronix, i alrady installed those... however i think its because its using a codec it shouldnt be using by default... the programs [20:15] Kage[Work] oh I'm sorry, I missed that, I actually use an iMac [20:15] hi [20:15] epaphus: what program r u using to open the mp3?

[20:16] martin_henry: If you didn't make install, it didn't install it. [20:16] Could somebody explain proposed and backported updates to me please? [20:16] someone can, anyone could, it's possible that nobody does at some point, and everyone chooses a different method periodically [20:16] Kage[Work] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TextToSpeech [20:17] truckin: I always get from audacious: Failed to connect to server OR unabla to read from http blablabla [20:17] New to ubuntu.

[20:22] rasstamann: exactly what it says on the tin, shaping traffic, [20:22] CrAzYG33K: because Ubuntu maintains their own version [20:22] yeah - k [20:22] and no oneon the forums also mentioned it [20:22] OK. then [20:22] I'm happy anyway [20:22] CrAzYG33K: most of the time it's just a matter of seeing if it's there or not. when you asked, I just did this: apt-cache search cscope [20:22] ^ hmm ok [20:22] pici, erUSUL: when i ran "sudo checkinstall" in the wxGTK source directory, i get: make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/include/pango-1.0/pango/pango.h', needed by `coredll_fontenum.o'. Stop. [20:22] Gnea: i found a file called resolv.conf.tmp and all my ip's are in there, however it doesnt seem to use that file [20:23] I set pidgin to show in the system tray, but when I close the window the application just quits rather than stay in the system tray. [20:23] I have a subversion repository set up with ownership www-data.www-data, and I'm in the www-data group, but it says I don't have privs to create the lockfile in db ... the dir is set rwxr-sr-x ... [20:23] Spliffeh: it wants to use /etc/resolv.conf [20:23] Spliffeh: aah, try this then: cp resolv.conf.tmp /etc/resolv.conf [20:23] does that need to be rws? [20:23] well anyway- whilst I was trying to compile cscope, I was stuck on the 'make' part [20:23] CQ: what is the dir for the lock file ,and yes it needs to be writable [20:23] CQ: yes [20:23] hi there... i have a partition named /data that i want all users to be able to write too, right now i can only do it as root...or via sudo. How can i automount in fstab so everyone that uses this computer can read / write to it [20:23] CQ: drwsrwsr-x [20:24] ikonea: I dont know what that is, I have ubuntu for 2 days now [20:24] dv8, and the filesystem is? [20:24] collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [20:24] make[2]: *** [cscope] Error 1 [20:24] ext3 [20:24] CQ: sorry, drwxrwsr-x [20:24] dv8 you could try to chmod -R 666 /data ? [20:24] dv8, then you need to chown/chmod/set the permissions in such a way taht users can access the locations. [20:24] apps/cscope-15.7/src/main.c:132: undefined reference to `ungetch'collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [20:24] ^ anyone got the same error before ? [20:24] i will try the chown -R [20:24] thanks ! [20:25] dv8, if you want to chown/chmod the drives root directory, you chmod/chown the mountpoint after its been mounted. [20:25] CrAzYG33K: yeah, we don't really bother with that or support it unless it's source from the repo itself [20:25] hmm ok [20:25] thanx for all the help gnea [20:25] were you able to get it to install via apt? [20:25] yes [20:26] good :) [20:26] I was successful [20:26] :D [20:26] Dr_willis: when i type moutn i get the following, so it is mounted, just not that i cant write to it /dev/sda5 on /data type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) [20:26] hello [20:26] dv8, you can add "user" to your fstab line and it should make it mountable by anyone [20:26] Gnea: works now, I hat to give group write privs to a bunch of other files in that dir and subdirs as well [20:27] dv8, You need to use the proper chown/chmod commands to set the permissions on the file. make the stuff owned by the user you want to access the data. [20:27] when using chroot i also need some changed env variables ... how can i change them automaticly? [20:27] This is weird, I removed one programs tray icon by right clicking on it and choosing, "remove from panel". Now none of my programs are showing up on the tray. [20:27] what does "no rule to make target install" mean? [20:27] you know when you move a folder somewhere and there is already a folder with that name there it offers you the option to merge the data.. can I mount a folder on another computer with one on mine and get the data from both... same as if I copied all the data from both folders, put it on a server, and on the 2 client computers mounted that folder? [20:27] martin_henry, if you are compiling from soure.. you did a ./configure first? [20:27] Gnea: that cp command is not working, it says its something bout NFS-file (cant translate it properly its in dutch) [20:28] this is what is says right now ext3 relatime,users 0 0 [20:28] muse, thers some unionfs stuff that can sort of do that..but ive never messeed with it. [20:28] for /data [20:28] dv8, look at the ls -l output to see the permissions on the directroy and files in it. [20:29] dv8, chown username.username /data then that user can access the drive. [20:29] Dr_willis: ok I will research, thanks [20:29] dr_willis: yes, just tried that and it gives error. guess i need more packages. thank you [20:29] hy im new whit linux ,i have instal verlihub obn unutu 8.10 bunt i cant load lua scripts [20:29] dv8, for ext2/3 you must set the files permissions. for ntfs/vfat you set them from the fstab. [20:30] Hello, i wiped out my /dev/sda1 (/boot) with "zcat file >/dev/sda1" .. any ideas on howto fix that? [20:30] Dr_willis: okay... ill do the chown and try it out [20:30] thanks for the help [20:30] dronix, iam using Movieplayer or Rythm box.. i just need to make it use another codec.. [20:30] anyone know of any ports of number munchers for ubuntu or debian? [20:30] petur_, ouch. I dont know how to undo that.. be glad you dident use /dev/sda instead [20:30] Spliffeh: open it with an editor and TYPE domain mydomain, search mydomain and nameservers into /etc/resolv.conf 4 lines approx. [20:31] Dr_willis: I keep /home on a seperate harddrive.. anyways.. i dunno howto fix :S [20:31] i will be back, going to try and see what happens after i reboot ( yes i know i dont have to reboot linux, but i want to test it [20:31] hallo [20:32] petur_, no easy way to fix that.. you just overwrote the start of the hard drive with that data.. so whatever was there has been overwritten [20:32] Dr_willis: I also overwrote the kernel files..:S [20:32] boohoo [20:33] petur_, you could reinstall the kernel packages.. but that whole filesystem may need to be reformated first [20:33] hmm anyone know of any ports of number munchers (old game on apple they use in schools) for ubuntu or debian? [20:33] Hey all I know this isn't exactly and ubuntu question but im about to run dual boot so its kind of applicable. Do you know how I can make a bootable Pen drive so I can install my emergency tinyxp install off of it incase I need a familiar os when i get stuck on ubuntu. [20:33] jase1, there are apple emulators. that can run the old apple games :) [20:34] !windows | gRunt [20:34] gRunt: For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [20:34] gRunt, theres wiki/howto guides for that on google.. and torrent sites ive seen. === FlannelKing is now known as Flannel [20:34] jase1: there are web-based versions, google number munchers [20:34] you wouldnt know any ports? possibly better remakes? [20:34] with updated graphics [20:34] Dr_willis, yeah im yet to find a decent one yet will jump in the windows channel [20:35] gRunt, i use ubuntu ion a thubmdruive as a rescue system. :) [20:35] is it possible for ubuntu to output the xorg conf file it's using and the have me customize it? [20:35] dts its usually in /etc folder under xorg [20:36] dts1: What? [20:36] its a file called xorg.conf [20:36] jase1: dts1 /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:36] yes that [20:36] but the thing is completely plain [20:36] dts1: vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:37] just type "sudo edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" or nano or vim [20:37] dts1: Yes it is. Isn't that nice? [20:37] everyone used to complain how complex the xorg.conf is.. now that its been automated a great deal.. people complain its too plane. :) [20:37] when i did this a few years ago there were screen resolutions and way more options that are gone right now
