[00:00] <_Linuxx_> PeoplesAdvocate yeah, thats a good one. if you have an extra box around, just install pfsense. 10 times better than ddwrt === Mion is now known as Guest52838 [00:01] IntuitiveNipple Hell yea. You da man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:-D [00:01] critt: The best modeline from that is "Modeline "1024x768" 94.50 1024 1096 1200 1376 768 771 775 809 -hsync +vsync" which you could add to the Monitor section of xorg.conf (and remove the Horiz... and Vert... settings) === Guest52838 is now known as fogobogo [00:01] Dr_Willis: Would I just copy, rename, and paste somewhere else? [00:01] critt: oops, typo again, that isn't the best modeline! This is "Modeline "1280x1024" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync" [00:01] russia213, learn to use the command line.. if you break X you wont bea le to use X to 'fix' it [00:01] _Linuxx_ will i need two NIC cards?

I have the 1024.768 right now [00:02] alright appreciate your help [00:02] critt: You have it *working* with that resolution? [00:02] <_Linuxx_> np [00:02] I will look into pfsense [00:02] Yes [00:02] First time on IRC/mIRC. New to Ubuntu as well. Not ever sure if this is the right place to make this request. I'm trying to learn how to install ddrescue in order to recover data form an external drive that is not working properly. Would anyone be willing to spend some time to direct me how to get started? I am tech savy and learn quickly. Thanks in advance. [00:02] critt: Did you manage that using nvidia-settings? [00:02] how do i take a screenshot in ubuntu? [00:02] Yes [00:02] critt: If nvidia-settings did that use it to increase to 1280x1024! [00:03] Keal: just press print screen and save it [00:03] Keal: keep the file extension on .png [00:03] IntuitiveNipple will do [00:03] drostie, am trying deluge now, I normally drop anywhere between 1-30 minutes but I'll know pretty quick it normally completey stuffs up my net even if it doesn't drop thanks for the advice. [00:04] NewToUbuntu_: your in the correct channel, but I don't think many people have used that here, that come here [00:04] WE LOVE SONIC!!!!!!!!! [00:04] how do i show hidden files and all extensions? [00:04] view show hidden files and folders [00:05] NewToUbuntu_: I guess this channel is worth trying for that issue as well #linux it's a more general LInux channel [00:05] Keal: ctrl + H [00:05] hey peeps i got acpi installed is this what gnome uses to do a suspend or hibernate?/ i see alot of scripts and the like.. [00:05] acpid i mean.. [00:05] my sound all of a sudden stopped working, i get a wierd staticy output when i try to play a sound file [00:05] <_Linuxx_> NewToUbuntu_ you are going to need 2 drives, one (the broken one) then two(the same size as the broken one) [00:06] sebsebseb, how do I access #linux, it that like another channel? [00:06] just wondering cause been having issues with hibernating [00:06] i checked all the volume controls, including the system one, and pulse audio [00:06] NewToUbuntu_: by clicking on it or /join #linux [00:06] the pink and orange line went away when i changed the skin [00:06] thanks seb!!! [00:06] i double checked the human skin isn't corrupt [00:06] <_Linuxx_> NewToUbuntu_ you could then run that program, and it will try to recover any readable data from the broken one, to the new one [00:06] what is the command to reconfigure my sound devices? [00:06] IntuitiveNipple Looks good!!! have saved settings to xorg.. Thanks a bunch WOW:-D [00:07] i took a screenshot of the lines though [00:07] critt: Nice one :) [00:07] I don't know why, my saved VPN in network manage doesn't work anymore since few months. I have 6 VPN connections (cisco and win pptp) neither of them work now. [00:07] please someone just fill me in on the command for configuring sound devices [00:07] isnt it like alsaconf or something like that [00:07] alsaconf doesnt work for me [00:07] what else can i try? [00:07] i forget my username on ubuntu 7.10 [00:08] keaton: you need to unmute 'PCM' and increase its volume [00:08] !sound | fjdkslafjklds [00:08] fjdkslafjklds: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [00:08] i tried all option mentioned on google [00:08] but didnt work [00:08] need help [00:08] CapriCoRN^80: At GRUB, choose the "recovery console", once there, you can view your usernames (cat /etc/passwd) [00:08] fjdkslafjklds: we haven't shipped alsaconf as part of alsa-utils since Ubuntu 5.04 [00:08] well dtchen, its been a while ;) [00:08] i used that recovery procedure by pressing e and adding rw init =/.................. [00:09] Evening! I was wondering if there is a Media Management system for ubuntu? I mean for instance a cataloging program like picasa that can handle video, images, sounds all in one catalog program? [00:09] CapriCoRN^80: No, you don't have to change anything. Just choose "recovery console" [00:09] Flannel: when i use recovery console it will again go to normally username prompt [00:09] russia213, the proper way to tweak those setting now are via 'hal' and fdi config files. (somhing ive not used befor eitehr) ---> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=948154 [00:09] CapriCoRN^80: It shouldn't. It should go straight to a root prompt. Unless you've messed up your grub config [00:09] dtchen:That again? That happened to my desktop too, how bizarre... Well, thanks. [00:09] <_Linuxx_> CapriCoRN^80 do you have an ubuntu boot cd? [00:09] Flannel: i did nothing [00:09] _Linuxx_: yes [00:10] yay it works, thanks for !sound ing me [00:10] CapriCoRN^80: Alright, go back and edit, and append 'single' to the end of the vmlinuz line. [00:10] <_Linuxx_> CapriCoRN^80 boot to that, then browse your hard drive to /home [00:10] that was too easy [00:10] <_Linuxx_> CapriCoRN^80 then you will see your home directory named with your username [00:11] Flannel: i did that single thing as well [00:11] _Linux_: you mean i should boot from live cd ? [00:11] <_Linuxx_> CapriCoRN^80 yeah [00:11] and from live cd i should select recovery console option ? [00:12] <_Linuxx_> CapriCoRN^80 no, just boot into it like you are going to try out ubuntu [00:12] I have an error to report. This will be my first. Does anyone know how I would go about that? [00:12] !bugs | sjcire [00:12] sjcire: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [00:12] !ask [00:12] _Linuxx_: its long process [00:12] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:12] !bugs [00:12] anyother short cut ? [00:12] <_Linuxx_> CapriCoRN^80 i think ubuntu mounts your hard drive [00:13] why is the flash plugin 32-bits? [00:13] <_Linuxx_> CapriCoRN^80 it should only take 2 min to boot to a live cd [00:13] sjcire: Follow the link ubottu sent you [00:13] ok [00:13] arkady: there is also a very good 64bit flash alpha/beta [00:13] sebsebseb: is there a package? [00:14] arkady: nah you get it off Adobe's website some where, if your on 64bit [00:14] arkady: it's in development, but still rather good [00:14] sebsebseb: meh, I recall that Debian Stable had it in non-free [00:15] if there isn't even a jaunty deb... that means it won't be in next release [00:15] is there a way to have a higher resolution for boot screen and also for the terminal, that can be accessed through alt-ctrl-f1 etc? [00:16] rdz, ' [00:16] rdz: boot screen is limited to 640x480 I believe.. not sure about terminal though.. [00:16] rdz, thats the Console on alt-ctrl-F1 and you can enable the framebuffer and have higher res. [00:16] with a framebuffer kernel line I believe [00:17] how can I do it please, with conky I think : http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/4310/capturejz1.png ( on the left ) [00:17] has anyone tried Nexenta, and how similar to Ubuntu is that? [00:17] hi [00:18] arkady: its not linux [00:18] !hi [00:18] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:18] <_Linuxx_> xdfz yes, thats conky [00:18] sebsebseb: Where is this 64-bit Adobe Flash alpha/beta? [00:18] i installed kde for windows. can i start it [00:18] mgolisch: it's the same packages as ubuntu pretty much, so I wonder how much the kernel matters [00:18] xdfz, u You mean the 'root window ' termnal on the left? [00:18] I have moved 2 sata drives and one ide driver to a newer box.. if i click on any of the drives I get this message > Cannot mount volume. The volume uses the ext4 file system which is not supported by your system.. I am running with an UBUNTU 8.10 live desktop disc.. [00:18] arkady: its just uses a ubuntu userland, for a desktop system id not consider using it [00:18] xdfz, conky isent doing that.. but theres other ways to do it. [00:19] how can I mount each drive so that I can fix menu.lst so that the drives will be bootable and visible .. ? suggestions? [00:19] ok..I have a friend who first tried to install ubuntu 8.10 then tried ubuntu 9.04..the 8.04 was working fine..but everytime he tries to go to 8.10 or to 9.04 he can't even get to the install part of it..he gets to the boot menu then nothing.. [00:19] Dr_Willis, i would like to set up framebuffer.. do you know any resource or where to start? [00:19] mgolisch: the interesting thing to me is that it'll boot up in 64-bit or 32-bit depending on what's available [00:20] <_Linuxx_> arkady its solaris, very different than linux [00:20] arkady: but its solaris basicaly, there much different [00:20] rdz, you just edit the menu.lst and read the commands and put in the right #.s i niormaally DISABLE the framebuffer.. :) [00:20] !framebuffer | rdz [00:20] rdz: Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub [00:20] arkady: unless you realy need zfs or some other stuff it provides id not use it [00:20] mgolisch: ah, thanks [00:20] bonez46: you could try putting the drives in the same numerical positions on the motherboard that they were on the previous system and make sure the boot order is also the same. [00:20] nyx: he provides the link in the article and by the looks of it, it's not alpha anymore :d http://blogs.computerworld.com/64_bit_linux_adobe_flash_player_surprisingly_good?page=1 [00:20] mgolisch: hmm... I thought Linux had ZFS [00:20] <_Linuxx_> arkady applications are ported to solaris from linux. they can be buggy [00:20] his video card is a 6600gt..any idea why ubuntu will not install with that card? [00:20] arkady: not realy [00:21] TokenBad, ive jheard of others with issues with that card.. [00:21] What is the apt-get package for Python 2.2? [00:21] TokenBad, the alternative insatller should work.. also. [00:21] bonez46: since it's ext4 on the drives you might burn a copy of the Jaunty cd.. I think it might have ext4 available.. it's not available on the 8.10 cd [00:21] sixofour: thats stoneage, i doubt ubuntu ships with python2.2 [00:21] _Linuxx_: but it's far different than the Debian/kFreeBSD [00:21] or newer* [00:22] sixofour: python2.5 should be installed by default [00:22] python is included :) [00:22] on kubuntu? [00:22] Dr_Willis you seen any of them that have got around that? [00:22] yes [00:22] scunizi: but I have never installed ext4.. [00:22] _Linuxx_: in that you're not emulating anything (other than Flash, yeah) [00:22] what about wxpython? [00:22] 2.6.0 or newer [00:22] sixofour: if you need that install it [00:22] what is the package called? [00:22] sixofour: apt-cache search is your friend [00:22] I'm getting SNMP error: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libnetsnmpagent.so.15: undefined symbol: boot_DynaLoader, On Ubuntu 8.04 Server.

[00:23] yes and i get about 4000 results [00:23] scunizi: bonez46: yeah, Jaunty has ext4 by default [00:23] TokenBad, some may of used the drivers from envyng, or the newer nvidia drivers from the nvidia site. check the forums would be he best bet [00:23] ext4 is not the 'default' but an option [00:23] Dr_Willis: err, I mean it's IN by default [00:23] ok :) heh [00:24] I'm getting SNMP error: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libnetsnmpagent.so.15: undefined symbol: boot_DynaLoader, On Ubuntu 8.04 Server.

[00:24] * medfly is lost [00:24] as in, you can mount ext4 stuffs. had a Debian install with custom kernel that I had to recover because I stupidly picked the newest filesystem [00:24] TokenBad, try the alternative installer.. or do like i do and make a usb-live-drive from a different ubuntu system and install the nvidia drivers. but you need a ubuntu system to do that. [00:25] Dr_Willis or get a better/different card..heheh [00:26] drostie, thanks for the advice on deluge is working prefectly, transmission would have already had a conflict with my net, maybe it was a driver issue not sure. [00:26] ext4 seems worth it, but I won't be using it until Jaunty goes stable [00:26] is there any way that i could filter the content returned by tcpdump command in real life, with a "grep" or similar ?

[00:33] that didnt work [00:33] it says dpkg: need an action option [00:33] Suikwan: probably not, and apparently D-Link has linux drivers so that might be a better bet [00:34] scrote: sudo apt-get remove packagename [00:34] Do you know where I can get the linux drivers? [00:35] LjL but i installed this manually, i didnt know apt-get remove can uninstall packages that were installed via dpkg [00:35] Recently I changed /etc/ssh/ssh_config.

I have a 1,1GHZ Pentium III with 256MB 100mhz RAM. Due GNOME is working too slow I'm thinking about change my desktop to XFCE or FluxBox. But, what is the best choice for performance, once all my favorite programs are GTK-dependent? (firefoxl, evolution, xchat, etc..) ?

[00:36] how do I go about using my webcam? dmesg seems to say it was detected. [00:37] Suikwan: yes [00:37] scrote: yes you can. [00:37] scrote, apt-get uses dpkg to install .deb files - so sure you can. [00:37] scrote: and no, you don't remove the deb file itself. you need to specify the *package name*.

My NetworkManager is not running. "nm-applet --sm-disable" says 'service is already taken" [00:54] chalcedony ok Gracias , ok thanks well , muy bien :) [00:54] Suikwan: you already have wired connection. [00:54] hey there i just downloaded the source code of the latest version of videolan, but i don't know how i can compile it, can somebody give me a quick hand please? [00:55] Ish, no this is not a new laptop, its a desktop I built from spare parts, just happen to come across a used, but working, DLink DWL-G520 and I wanted to get it working under ubuntu [00:55] BobSponja de nada (i don't really speak spanish) [00:55] Suikwan: you trying to use the wifi card to turn your desktop into a router? [00:55] hello i want to create a shortcut of the network icon and the recycle basquet in my desktop how can i do it [00:55] can someone help me? none of my usb drives are mounted, lsusb sees them but they never automount... [00:55] true, but I'd like to eliminate the really long cable [00:55] sebsebseb: so how would i make it go as fast as it used to when i first installed it?? (i still have like 60GBs free on my HDD) [00:55] yoyit2: how much RAM? [00:56] i can't figure out how to reset history or get rid of broken links in history in ubuntu's totem movie player :./ [00:56] Suikwan: wireless is painful even if you must use it and have proper drivers. connection WILL cut out, and usually in the middle of a dist-upgrade [00:56] sebsebseb: 2GBs, with 6GBs swap.. 1.9GBs dual amd [00:56] wireless is not a pain on kde 4.2 with knetworkmanager [00:56] anyone familiar with busybox and moblin kerne [00:56] not that it matters much, as the upgrade won't happen until files are all downloaded :P [00:57] sebsebseb: **2Ghz dual amd [00:57] yoyit2: there are ways to speed up Ubuntu, but I don't really know about that [00:57] anyone familiar with busybox and moblin kernel [00:57] yoyit2: and 6GB is to much for swap, would could also be to do with your issue [00:57] yoyit2: you want like 1GB for swap [00:57] scrote: if wireless is your only link and you lose connection, well, all your downloads terminate [00:57] sebsebseb: why is it bad to have 6?? [00:57] I just don't get it to work! [00:57] yoyit2: which not would above [00:57] yoyit2: ,because 6GB is way more than what swap needs. and the recommended amount is like 512MB or 1GB [00:57] arkady, true, wireless will never be as reliable, but it would be really nice if i could get rid of the long ethernet cable running from one end of the office to the other [00:57] yoyit2: the computer may also be slow if it uses swap [00:58] sebsebseb: hmm.. ok can i shrink my swap in anyway? [00:58] yoyit2: of course [00:58] anyone know if a Linksys wpc54G adaptor works with ubuntu? [00:58] i can't figure out how to reset history or get rid of broken links in history in ubuntu's totem movie player :./ how do i reset history in totem? [00:58] Suikwan: may be too expensive, but they make small wireless bridge devices [00:58] I am trying to create an USB install media. I got the USB pendrive booting, I select "Install" from the menu, kernel and initrd are loaded and then ... reboot instead of install [00:58] yoyit2: you can't change / the Ubuntu partition unless your on Live CD, but you can re size swap space [00:58] yoyit2: sudo apt-get install gparted [00:59] can someone help me? none of my usb drives are mounted, lsusb sees them but they never automount... [00:59] yoyit2: and then system > administaration > partition editoir [00:59] yoyit2: 1GB for swap is good [00:59] arkady, or just mod a wrt54g with DD-WRT and turn it into a wireless client [00:59] i have 60gb swap :/ [00:59] Keal: that is insane, and way to much [00:59] !swap [00:59] Suikwan: there's an option in DD-WRT called wireless bridge or something, actually [00:59] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [01:00] http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Bridge [01:00] Does anyone have a automatix file I can get? [01:00] munk_, my understanding is that they SHOULD Be automounting, so if you get no response, that's probably why [01:00] sebastienyoga as far as i know swap is also used during hibernate :/ [01:00] Keal: yes maybe, but even then you only should need like 1GB [01:01] :S [01:01] 60gigs seems completely normal, don't let them knock you [01:01] any one familiar with efi boot and lpia kernel [01:01] 60 gigs? [01:01] Ish: 60GB swap is way to much [01:01] Im running it on 20 :D [01:01] Is 60gigs swap even allowed? [01:01] Oh O.O 60 gig swap O.O [01:01] nds: 20GB swap is also way to much [01:01] Ok, where would I go to install a driver for a linksys wpc54g card? It worked with Mint [01:01] I meant my entire system lol [01:02] Not my swap :D [01:02] lol [01:02] My swap is 1024 <---- a gigf [01:02] *gig [01:02] yep good size 1GB [01:02] swap [01:02] mine is 1 gig as well [01:02] :< [01:02] cool [01:02] i heard it should be equal or double to your ram [01:02] it seldom ever uses more that 10 megs [01:03] 5.0GB swap, even though I hope that it never really does much swapping [01:03] Ish: well if you got 4GB RAM you don't do 8GB RAM, in fact with 4GB RAM, you probably don't even need swap in the first place [01:03] i can't figure out how to reset history or get rid of broken links in history in ubuntu's totem movie player :./ how do i reset history in totem? [01:03] what happens if you have NO swap? [01:03] Nothing [01:03] Ish: I ran this computer quite well without swap. and this is 1GB RAM [01:03] You just hit your limit [01:03] Ish: you can't suspend or hibernate or something, apparently. I don't do anything like that, so I'm not sure. [01:03] limit for what? computations? [01:03] I run my pc on 256 mb of my 1.4 gb ^-^ [01:03] Ish: I only put swap here more recently towards end of last year. to be honest I am not even sure if the system ever uses it [01:03] swap is just used to write to memory when you've run out of RAM, I believe [01:03] if you have no swap, your apps will fail to allocate memory once all main memory has been utilized [01:03] Limit for amount of memory being used [01:03] Ok, nobody? [01:04] My pc never hits swap [01:04] And im only on 1 gb so.... [01:04] i like how everyone who knows something instantly jumps when someone says they use a ridiculously high swap [01:04] <= 2 gigs RAM [01:04] any ubuntu expert here? i really need help with installing gnome [01:04] i'm not even sure if i have any swap, i was just trying to troll the guy who has 60gigs wasted on it [01:04] Rtrix: what's up? [01:04] are you talking about a dedicated swap partition, or using a swap file [01:04] hmm, whats' really odd is that my nVidia is SPEEDING UP when I'm not in 3D due to the idle speed being faster than the 3d speed [01:05] Ish: well using a rediculously high swap is retarded, way better off using that space for hard disk space [01:05] Rtrix: gnome is installed on Ubuntu by installing the package ubuntu-desktop [01:05] gnome is installed on ubuntu when you install ubuntu [01:05] Rtrix: if that's already installed, then so is Gnome [01:05] that's 60gigs that could be wasted on torrents, or a mythTV setup [01:05] sebastien_ 35gb of my drive is marked to not even user [01:05] use [01:06] O.o [01:06] because i had no reason to use the entire drive [01:06] ubuntu can't tile windows? I wanna take the 4-6 windows I've got opened, hit tile and it automatically adjusts them perfectly instead of manually messing around [01:06] i have 7 or more partitions :) [01:06] I have External drives for everything aside from my packages [01:06] Ish, what do you mean? they are not automounting and they should so how do i fix it? [01:06] While we on the topic can you you a flashdrive as swap? (thinking about Vista's Ready boost) [01:06] Probably [01:06] Tapout: I'm sure Compiz has a plugin that does something like that [01:06] Tapout: I know there are tiling window managers [01:06] the last 35gb partition on the drive is marked to not use [01:06] Use gparted and see if it is seen [01:06] Tapout, check out compiz, if you haven't seen it YOU WILL CREAM YOURSELF [01:06] cpmpiz eh.. ok [01:06] i have 3 60gb partitions etc [01:06] i don't think so, vista has pretty advanced tech for readyboost [01:07] compiz rather [01:07] munk_, i think you're...screwed... [01:07] for some reason my resolution resets to 800x600 everytime i reboot [01:07] With Compiz I can't get the wallpapers plugin to work. It used to work. Any Help? === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [01:07] TheGeneral: readyboost? [01:07] Ready boost :\ [01:07] We have the same thing [01:07] Ish, wha? thanks?! [01:07] It preloads stuff [01:07] thanks [01:07] Ill get the command for it [01:07] munk_, i'm no expert, i'm just judging this based on the fact that no one will acknowledge that you're here [01:07] readyboost is a feature in Vista that allows you to use a flash drive as extra memory [01:07] sorry, was just trolling a little, it's a way in vista to utilize a flash drive to extend your memory [01:08] munk_, i had kind of the same problem, except lsusb wouldn't even recognize my stuff [01:08] vmware-server not available on 8.10 ? [01:08] Ish, yeah i realized i keep asking for help and no one says anything.... [01:08] nds: preloading to disks is pointless, flash drives are faster than disk but are creamed by DDR2/3 [01:08] :\ [01:08] Anyone with a card driver? [01:08] Arkady: It preloads to memory if im correct: which im prob not [01:08] Ish, i might reinstall hopefully that will fix it...thanks that you at least said something lol [01:08] munk_, I ended up jigglin the cord and it eventually worked. all i can say is that if lsusb recognizes it then it should be there [01:08] sudo apt-get install preload [01:09] There [01:09] what's the prob munk? [01:09] munk_, what usb things are you trying to get to work? [01:09] It preloads most used binaries to memory [01:09] munk_: are the USB drives formatted? if there is no filesystem on them they will not be able to automount [01:09] ahh, interesting. also look at prelink [01:09] :) [01:09] Poit for the noob :D [01:09] munk_, funkyHat brings a good point to the table, so my question of exactly what you're hoking up stands [01:09] Ish, mp3 players, hard drives and such...they worked before.. [01:09] for some reason recently-run binaries tend to run quickly. that's without doing anything fancy, and on most OSes [01:10] hi world, how may i flush a usb-storage device (write all cached data) without unmounting it before the danger of a powerdown? [01:10] itona: sync [01:10] munk_, so another operating system reads them? [01:10] thanks! [01:10] once i knew it... [01:11] :) [01:11] Ish, yeah they do.. [01:11] Anyone good with HAL .fdi files? [01:11] :) I just got my first tar.gz to run :) [01:11] nds: gratz [01:11] munk_: can you mount them manually? [01:11] * nds is learning lots lol [01:12] hey peeps [01:12] nds: it can be tricky if either "./configure" or "make" throw lots of errors [01:12] itona: I believe by remounting it [01:12] lol, yeah, i love when people write horrible code and release it, only to have huge errors come back [01:12] i am back now i am trying to get my script suspend.sh to be ran when the gnome power management tools (timer gets to 1 hr) and then suspend the machine.. is this possible? [01:12] :s [01:12] hello. [01:12] It didnt hough, so dont rain on my parade :D [01:12] anyone install fglrx for a Radeon RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] ? [01:12] hmmm...didnt try...how do you do that again? [01:12] *though [01:13] im on ATI's web site, and there is nothing for X1200 [01:13] munk_, have you used usb devices on this machine before? and yeah, look into mounting manually... [01:13] is there a way to become an "Official" linux guru? [01:13] climb mount torvald [01:13] Chaorain: there are certifications [01:13] Ish, yep i did.. [01:14] como es la sala de ubuntu en espa;ol? [01:14] itona: oh, "sync" command, which until around 2006 hasn't been looked at so there is a chance that it's still not fixed [01:14] !es [01:14] 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. [01:14] scroat, any clue where to get one? [01:14] Recently I changed /etc/ssh/ssh_config. I changes port=22 ---> port=nnn. After I did this all my ssh bookmarks in the nautilus explorer stopped working. I could still login to the ssh shell from a terminal but it required that I include the -p nnn option. The servers still worked. I can get the nautilus to connect to the ssh thought sftp interactive mode by including a port specification. I now use sftp://user@server:22/folder instead of [01:15] munk_: first of all find out what device name the USB disc has (it will be something like /dev/sdc1), you might be able to find this by looking at what the command 'dmesg' returns after you plug the drive in [01:15] Chaorain: google up on Linux+ LPC [01:15] sebsebseb: it wont let me resize it [01:15] munk: have you tried another usb port? [01:16] yoyit2: turn the swap off first. right click and swapoff [01:16] hello sebsebseb :) [01:16] nds: what do you want? [01:16] i need fglrx drivers. [01:16] Nothing :'( Just saying hi [01:16] I have this horrid tendency to be polite, itll probably kill me one day :( [01:16] sebsebseb: if you can turn it off then whats the point of having it? [01:17] scroat: find the right version of catalyst [01:17] Chaorain, you have to find Linus Torvalds, and give him the secret handshake === WelshDragon is now known as YDdraigGoch [01:17] scunizi: what if I can't remember? Is there no way to access them and manually update grub? [01:17] either creating a popular, or elitist, linux distro, or kernel coding [01:17] ATI's Catalyst normally installs the drivers for a few of their cards [01:17] Ish, ah [01:18] hit and a miss? [01:18] yoyit2: you turn it off resize, and put it back on again [01:18] *swing and a miss? [01:18] is 8.10's nickname "Jaunty" then? I didn't know that [01:18] sebsebseb: ok, but what is the point of it? [01:18] matrixblue: how do i knwo which is the correct version ? [01:18] bonez46: no, 9.04's is [01:18] !swap | yoyit2 [01:18] yoyit2: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [01:18] is there any way of doing this? [01:18] bbelt16ag: depends what it is [01:18] I have never installed anything over 8.10.. one drive runs etch and the other two run 8.10.. [01:18] search the website [01:19] see if the drivers for XP are listed [01:19] bonez46: 8.10 is "Intrepid Ibex" [01:19] could this 8.10 live disc see a messed up partition table on those drives and misread it as 'ext4'? [01:19] winston_the_cat: ok, thanks for the update [01:19] sebsebseb: what is the point of having an extra sda2 that is 5.42GBs.. what is this? [01:19] which was juanty? [01:19] Hello, I am having an issue with compiz fusion. It has suddenly started shading the windows instead of maximizing when I double click the titlebar. How can I change this? [01:19] bbelt16ag: sorry for the clever comment ;) I didn't read back to find out what you were talking about [01:19] bonez46: err, that's strange, because ext4 drives appear as ext3 in cfdisk [01:20] i am back now i am trying to get my script suspend.sh to be ran when the gnome power management tools (timer gets to 1 hr) and then suspend the machine.. is this possible? [01:20] there u go funkyhat [01:20] I heard ext4 is being useed in 9.04. What is the big deal about Ext4? faster? [01:20] even if there is a script i could write, [01:20] Chaorain: yes [01:20] yes ext4 is hella faster [01:20] is the best way to install fglrx via System > Hardware Drivers ? [01:20] Hello, I am having an issue with compiz fusion. It has suddenly started shading the windows instead of maximizing when I double click the titlebar. How can I change this? [01:20] Chaorain, extents, large file support! [01:20] !ext4 [01:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 [01:21] brb gonna try something [01:21] !compiz [01:21] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz-fusion [01:21] if you can find the driver is there then yes install it [01:21] !compiz-fusion [01:21] I'm running Jaunty Beta with ex4 [01:21] !compiz-fusion [01:21] matrixblue: your in the wrong channel [01:21] and I can attest to noticable speed boosts [01:21] matrixblue: jaunty is also in development [01:21] compiz fusion is the product of compiz and beryl being combined together. [01:22] matrixblue: yes expect bugs also and jaunty talk is off topic here and so #ubuntu+1 [01:22] its whats in the repos [01:22] ext4 is stable, but you can expect bugs for a while later === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ [01:22] arkady: there's a data loss bug with Ext4 [01:22] Hello, I am having an issue with compiz fusion. It has suddenly started shading the windows instead of maximizing when I double click the titlebar. Can anyone tell me how can I change this? [01:22] I never would have thought, that installing from USB would be such a hassle!!!!!! [01:22] hi somebody know how to create user in mysql ? [01:23] sebsebseb: exactly, just because it's in stable kernel doesn't mean you should "upgrade now" [01:23] I heard about some people who reported data loss with ext4 due to the delayed write feature [01:23] I find it disturbing, that a CD-Rom is still required for Installation1!! [01:23] my Compiz wallpapers plugin is not working at all is there another setting that needs to be changed? [01:23] humbolt: it's not. [01:23] cdrom? you can totally netinstall [01:23] louiscvh -> have you done a tutorial on mysql? if not, kindly do one please [01:23] huh, figures, I reinstalled Ubuntu, and now I found the command to fix it ;( [01:24] oh god i hate mysql, don't even get me started!!! RAAAAAAGE [01:24] you can use unetbootin too [01:24] arkady: I will get Alpha 6 soonish, not tonight, but I am keeping Ext3 for now [01:24] you can even go bluray! [01:24] ok now it seems to be working, and why the heck can hibernate bring back my old session in gnome instead of creating a new plain session with no apps that were running etc.. ????? [01:24] the bad part is, it's been so long since i've worked with it that i'm going to have to look up the commands all over again [01:24] codeuser: you might want to check your settings in Compiz-Fusion Settings Manager [01:24] rww: It is. Creating an USB media from the Live CD worked ... but the installer would crash. [01:24] arkady: what???// [01:25] winston_the_cat: where is this setting located in there. I have looked [01:25] humbolt: I've used http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ several times. It works perfectly for me. [01:25] arkady ok,.. but how can I get 8.10 desk to see those drives then, or can't I? [01:25] sebsebseb: http://www.linux-magazine.com/online/news/debian_lenny_with_blu_ray_images_and_live_cd [01:25] louiscvh: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/account-management-sql.html [01:25] rww: Creating USB media from the alternate CD works also, but the damn installer does not want to proceed without a cdrom. [01:25] I hate MySQL took me about 10 hours straight to get it set up for my site. And that was with GUIDED INSTRUCTIONS!!!! [01:25] hiyas. how do i update the headers in /usr/include/inux et al after compiling a custom kernel? [01:25] sebsebseb: (you would of course have to create your own from the packages in Ubuntu repos) [01:25] rww: That does not work! [01:25] rww: Trash [01:25] Chaorain, lets start a group about how we hate mysql [01:26] humbolt: works in Ubuntu, unlike in Debian [01:26] arkady: certainly not with the alternate images [01:26] humbolt: Again, works for me and plenty of other people, so no, it isn't trash. [01:26] anyone have experience with getting an brother hl-4040 cdn printer installed? [01:26] rww: alternate CD? [01:26] arkady: oh right, well putting linux on a blueray disc would seem like a waste of one to me [01:26] bbelt16ag: I don't know for definite the answer to your question, but adding your script to /etc/acpi/suspend.d looks pretty likely [01:27] humbolt: ah, that's why! there's a trick, you can mount the usb yourself and fiddle with things [01:27] codeuser: not sure [01:27] it's just a glorified spreadsheet [01:27] humbolt: but it's because whoever wrote the Debian thing didn't really think that anyone would use alternate media [01:27] I got this message when chowning my disk chown: changing ownership of `/media/disk1': Operation not permitted [01:27] Irc hung [01:27] Ish, so where do I sign up? [01:28] arkady: fiddle with things in unetbootin or in the installer? [01:28] sebsebseb: I know a few people who could fill a blueray disk [01:28] Chaorain, pick a forum [01:28] humbolt: well, in the installer or while installing. I just did it while installing [01:29] How do I change my terminal to root [01:29] :s [01:29] Ish: Chaorain: if you struggle with the mysql command line interface you can install helper programs like phpmyadmin or mysql-administrator (but this is probably getting off topic now so I'll leave it there) [01:29] Ish, I use GBATmep.net a lot [01:29] arkady: I tried different things, but obviously not the right thing. How to I get the damn installer to believe there is a CDrom [01:29] Ish, let you know when I get my site up [01:29] Is it possible that this machine is running slow because of multitasking? [01:29] !root [01:29] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [01:30] funkyHat, i would need someone to explain phpmyadmin, or the other one... [01:30] humbolt: I recall there being a special bootinstall where you placed an ISO on the USB disk and used it that way [01:30] nds: use "sudo su" [01:30] i'll google it later [01:30] anyone familiar with embedded ubuntu kernel [01:30] Hello, I am having an issue with compiz fusion. It has suddenly started shading the windows instead of maximizing when I double click the titlebar. How can I change this? [01:30] like the one in dell mini9 [01:30] All the flashy desktop features are disabled... [01:30] But the system is still running slowly. [01:30] hummm, I still get errors :\ [01:30] i just reformatted my computer with my old 7.10 ubuntu... i want to upgrade to the latest stable version. can i do this? [01:30] How can permission be denied to root :| [01:31] hi, I'm having an issue with compiz after upgrading to nvidia drivers 96.43.11 [01:31] joanki123: try opening a terminal and typing 'update-manager -d' without the quotes [01:31] arkady: Some script put all the files from my CD on the USB disk, and I have another USB pen, which holds the iso image. Just mounting it to /cdrom does not do the trick. [01:31] nds, sudo [01:31] someone know how to fix that? the window decorator seems to be broken [01:31] arkady: any other ideas on my dilemma... I know if I could get menu.lst straightened out.. I could boot up each disk [01:31] joanki123: yes, do what codeuser said, you'll have to upgrade to 8.04 first and then to 8.10 [01:31] Still doesnt work [01:31] humbolt: http://linux.simple.be/debian/usb [01:31] I want to mount /location/of/directory/1/ to /location/of/directory/2/mount/point/ [01:31] help? [01:31] funkyHat, is it better to have 8.10 than 8.04? [01:32] Anyway, I don't need raw speed.... [01:32] arkady: but a debian installer will not help me much [01:32] Hey I have a question specific to the Ubuntu phpBB3 package - What's the login? Even with dpkg-reconfigure there's no prompt to create a phpbb user/login. Yet the package doesn't have the install directory. [01:32] humbolt: I thought the debian iso was pretty much equivalent to the Ubuntu extended installer iso [01:33] ah, found it. ty ;) [01:33] arkady: still, it will use other repositories. [01:33] funkyHat or codeuser , i did it and it said only partial upgrade available. should i do partial upgrade? [01:33] joanki123: no idea... why don't you download the latest installation media from ubuntu.com? [01:33] How can permission be denied to root O.O [01:33] joanki123: it's up to you, 8.04 is a long term support release so it will have updates for 3 years, 8.10 is a regular release, so you'll get newer versions of programs, but you will need to update to a newer version sooner, depends which you prefer [01:33] codeuser, because then i have to burn to a cd, right? [01:33] humbolt: you can choose repos can't you? [01:33] joanki123: or use a flash drive [01:34] Anyone on phpBB? [01:34] arkady: yes, sure [01:34] funkyHat, what would you do.... sorry... just nervous! [01:34] codeuser: yes do a partial upgrade, it may remove some packages but they will probably just be libraries that you don't need anymore [01:34] nds, you're sure you're doing "Sudo command" [01:34] humbolt: thats if you want a netinstall, if you don't, then it might be possible to swap out the ISO with a Ubuntu ISO [01:34] except lowercase [01:34] joanki123: if something you want is uninstalled by the partial upgrade you can easily install it again once the upgrade is done [01:34] funkyHat, you meant me, right. and also, would you go with 8.04 or with 8.10? [01:34] joanki123: sorry, yes I meant you [01:35] i think 8.04 is the better way to go, right.... after all, you want the one that is the most stable.... [01:35] Hi, I can't use my camera for some reason [01:35] anyone? [01:35] It is a PS/2 camera using a PS2/USB adapter [01:35] joanki123: I just went from 8.04 to 8.10, and 8.10 fixed some of my display problems [01:35] Yes I am doing the sudo command [01:35] joanki123: so it's all up to you [01:36] Sudo Chown -R brandon /media/disk/ [01:36] a PS2 camera? [01:36] Can anyone help? [01:36] winston_the_cat, thanks.... decisions decisions.... [01:36] Is what I type in [01:36] Please [01:36] Okay. Nobody's familiar with phpbb3? [01:36] cant say that ive ever sene a Camera that plugged into the ps2 port.. [01:36] i had a system crash on hardy because i uninstalled virtualbox and its packages [01:36] so now i have to reformat [01:37] joanki123: personally I would upgrade to 8.10, but I don't mind upgrading my system every 6 months to keep up with the latest release, if 8.04 has all of the features that you want then I would stick with that, and upgrade to 10.04 when it's released, which is the next long term support version (someone correct me if I've got the wrong version) [01:37] It is the MINI DYNN cameras actually [01:37] funkyHat, thanks [01:37] joanki123, proberly you dont.. but it pays to learn how to isntall things from the terminal/console/liveccd === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball === |newbie| is now known as bahram [01:38] How in gods name can Sudo be denied permission ;( [01:38] Can I somehow get this to work [01:38] ? [01:38] nds: corrupt sudoers file? [01:38] No [01:38] nds: few ways, most common is read only [01:38] SUdo works for other things [01:38] How can I change that? [01:38] Alex_21: ok you might have to do some configuring to get that to work [01:38] !camera [01:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about camera [01:39] Sebsebseb: What do you mean? [01:39] Alex_21: you need to be more specific, about which camera it is exactly and things or people can't really help you [01:39] O.O it says my volumes are not mounted [01:39] but I see them [01:39] :s [01:39] Alex_21: Ubuntu has good hardware suppourt, but not everything will just work [01:40] Alex_21: ,because those manufactures didn't suppourt Ubuntu, but can get most stuff working with know how [01:40] It is a Home Centinal Camera connected via Dyn mini port [01:40] within temptation what you have done [01:40] I'll be back [01:40] In a bit [01:40] humbolt: do you know if the kernel really matters in the installer? === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ [01:41] what is a bad superblock? [01:41] WTH [01:41] arkady: kernel does not matter [01:41] how can i delete mysql ? [01:41] bonez46, bad sector on disk or corrupted superblock (part of the filesystem metadata) [01:41] sudo gedit /etc/fstab/ I get an error [01:41] :s [01:41] is there a way to just revert ubuntu to its "factory" settings [01:41] sudo: must be setuid root [01:42] nds, you need to remove the extra slash [01:42] nds, try "sudo nano ...." sudo-ing X apps can be tricky. [01:42] at the end [01:42] nds, some how you got some permissions really smessed up it seems if sudo is not suid any more [01:42] humbolt: yeah. there's actually a trickier and less Linux dependent way of making flash LiveUSBs from LiveCDs [01:42] Yeah :\ [01:42] Why is this keep happening [01:42] I just redid my pc last night from this [01:42] nds, what does "ls -l `which sudo`" say? [01:42] sprinkmeier: if I get a message like this > mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, << does that mean I need to keep trying, something different or am I outta luck? [01:42] nds, normally its somthing you did... [01:42] it involves a special version of grub which can chainload off an ISO [01:43] bonez46, it means the mount command cannot figure out what filesystem is installed, or you're telling it something different from what it's reading (i.e. you're asking to mmount FAT as EXT or something). try "sudo fdisk -l" to get a list of partitions [01:43] still wont work [01:44] do I have to beeeep reinstall my pc again? [01:44] nds, did you type "sudo nano /etc/fstab" ? [01:44] no [01:44] I tried [01:44] and came back the same [01:44] nds, try just like i typed there [01:44] is there a command i can use to reset ubuntu back to its original state without reinstalling? [01:44] hi.. I'm having trouble with my sound. One day it just started putting out static. [01:44] nds, maybe..... if the metadata dor sudo, a system file, got messed up there's no telling what else is wrong (i.e. you can fix sudo easy enough but is that the only thing borked?) [01:44] I don't know anything about sound [01:45] Hi folks - I want to install java on my mozilla browser - what package should I download from the synaptic pkg mgr? [01:45] so.. any pointers to figure out how to fix it would be great [01:45] same error [01:45] sprinkmeier: ok. I got those loaded.. I guess I need to brush up on grub and naming conventions for drives.. I can access /boot/grub/menu.lst. so I should be able to fix each menu.lst so that it can boot up, right? [01:45] O.O i have no users [01:45] is there anything that will read from the BIOS.. what it sees.. which drives and where? [01:46] I think another reinstall is in order :s [01:46] How Can I start the livecd from grub? [01:46] LOL [01:46] Well I have a bone to pick with Jeroen van Wolffelaar or Thijs if they ever wakeup [01:46] how did he mess that up? [01:46] trying to hack up sudoers? [01:46] bonez46, what changed to make you think grub is in pain? changed disks? [01:46] Hi, I had to reinstall windows, and now it goes to windows not to linux, might be a GRUB problem.... [01:47] joetromondo, its an mbr problem [01:47] !mbr [01:47] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [01:47] sprinkmeier: yes, removed a working disk from an older machine, put it in this new box.. I built it last year.. but the disk that I know works.. is new.. won't boot here, shows grub ERROR 2.. [01:47] that should make it right joetromondo [01:47] galag, don't. Just tell the BIOS to boot off the CD, grub not involved [01:47] sprinkmeier: so I know it's a grub issue.. [01:47] hey guys, trying to setup my CUPS on my server and despite it being installed and that I have gone through the cupsd.conf file and edited it and made sure its all good, but i can't get 'adduser cupsys shadow' nor can the server see it even has a cupsys service, as in it doesn't stop, restart /etc/init.d/cupsys [01:47] hiya [01:47] bonez46, OK.... grub 'lost' the disks. [01:47] just rusty on hd0,0 and all that stufff [01:47] !grub | bonez46 [01:47] bonez46: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [01:48] anyone know where to start to figure out what I did to my sound? [01:48] sprinkmeier: yes grub lost the discs [01:48] question: how do I remove HP Device Manager? [01:48] sprinkmeier, I have no CD reader. The files are in a usb disk and my BIOS don't support boot from it. I have the grub in a floppy disk [01:48] is not there any way to set that via windows? [01:49] Hi === DomaniGiovanni is now known as SomethingSnappy [01:49] galag, like making things difficult, don't you :-) Can you plug in a USB-CD-ROM? [01:50] galag: I'm currently testing this with Jaunty, not sure if it'll work properly. http://linux.simple.be/debian/usb [01:50] Hi all, I was wondering if there is anyone available who can help me with a video card issue [01:50] bonez46, run "sudo blkid /dev/sd[ab]*" and use the UUID's in grub (and /etc/fstab). I'll make things more robust in case HDD's change again [01:50] sprinkmeier, I have no CD, Just a usb stick, the xubuntu image and a floppy disk. [01:51] sprinkmeier: does the UUID more explicitly identify each unique drive? [01:51] anyone want to help me with my CUPS problem? [01:51] sajuuk: depends on the problem.. ask your question [01:52] sprinkmeier, Grub can the files of the livecd, but I don't know how to make it boot. [01:52] scunizi, hey guys, trying to setup my CUPS on my server and despite it being installed and that I have gone through the cupsd.conf file and edited it and made sure its all good, but i can't get 'adduser cupsys shadow' nor can the server see it even has a cupsys service, as in it doesn't stop, restart /etc/init.d/cupsy [01:52] bonez46, yes. Each partition is given a universally ubnique ID, so no matter where it pops up (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb etc...) it'll be found. [01:53] galag, sorry, not much of a GRUB expert. All I can suggest is look at the existing lines and mess with them. or get a USB-CDROM. [01:53] sprinkmeier: ok, that shows all my partitions on all my drives.. I am running 8.10 live cd.. can I then go to /dev/sda2 which is where on the 1st hdd my linux partition is located, and update that /boot/grub/menu.lst with the correct UUID? is that the trick? [01:54] scunizi, also when i try to access cups on my server, it see's it but I get a failure to connect [01:54] galag: you'll have to set the root to the USB drive [01:54] Let me know if anyone is daring enough to spend 5 minutes and install the phpBB3 package on their machine [01:54] Does the live cd uses grub to start? Where can I found its menu.lst ?? [01:54] I'd like to prove something [01:54] galag: root (hdX,Y) [01:54] arkady, done! [01:54] bonez46, yes, that should do it. Also make sure the grub bootloader is installed on the active disk (see the !grub links) [01:54] sajuuk: you doing this on the server install? and are you trying to setup a print server? [01:55] arkady, I can see the files, but how can I boot from it? [01:55] scunizi, yes and yes [01:55] galag: now you can use the kernel command, the initrd command, and the boot command [01:55] scunizi, it is ubuntu 8.10 server [01:56] arkady, Those commands is what I'm asking to you... === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [01:56] sajuuk: you might try sudo tasksel printserver [01:56] I'm trying to replace a video card on a machine running 8.10. Midway into loading Ubuntu [with no graphical problems] it freezes and takes me to a wall of text that I don't understand at all. [01:57] scunizi, did it and I got nothing but the usage page [01:57] galag: kernel / root=/dev/ [01:57] sajuuk: did you install a gui on the server? [01:57] galag: initrd / [01:57] galag: boot [01:57] arkady, and what about init=??? [01:57] scunizi, nope and it would take 2 days to get one from the internet [01:58] sajuuk: slow connection? [01:58] hola [01:58] galag: not needed [01:58] humm.. [01:58] hi [01:58] scunizi, yeah and I live in australia [01:58] arkady, so it will start from squashfs automatically? [01:58] fglrx is installed. but it doesent play quake wars (i hear sound, but distorted visual). no 3D games. why? http://rafb.net/p/fsSpwN27.html [01:58] sajuuk: how did you get cups installed? via the cd? [01:59] arkady, cool man! Just waiting for your ok to restart and try! [01:59] scunizi, I think so, I do know its there cos apt-get says it is [01:59] galag: well, try booting and see if there's an error (note those things in <> are info you have to specify [01:59] sajuuk: k.. hang on a sec [01:59] this is my card. RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] [02:00] Thanks for your help [02:00] Good night [02:00] sprinkmeier: humor me.. what would a mount command look like , using the UUID instead of the /dev/device nomenclature [02:01] how do I change the groot device so update-grub doesn't overwrite it? [02:01] everytime update-grub runs it changes my groot device. [02:01] sajuuk: do you still have the cd? and has the sources.lst been modified so it no longer see's the cd as a repository? [02:01] bonez46, "mount UUID=hex_soup /mnt/directory" instead of "mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/directory". Same optional options.... [02:02] scunizi, how do I that? [02:02] is there a conf file somewhere or something? [02:02] sajuuk: let me check my sys [02:02] ok. [02:02] (not trolling) is/was ubuntu based off of debian? what does it use for packages? [02:02] when choosing software sources... do i just check all the sources available? or is that taxing on my system? [02:03] it uses debs [02:03] jjshoe, yes it is, it uses .deb packages [02:03] and yes, it's based off of debian. [02:03] do i want gutusy-security, updates, proposed, backports, all downloadable from internet, from cd-rom, third party software? [02:03] but, debians update-grub doesn't modify the groot device in menu.lst [02:03] joanki123: You shouldn't select them all, but not because its taxing. Don't choose -proposed, and -backports is only so-so. [02:03] sprinkmeier any idea on i586 support? I'm lookign at using it on a mini-itx mobo [02:03] ubuntu's is doing so, and I cannot figure out why. [02:03] thanks Flannel [02:04] sajuuk: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list ... this will show you all the repos that are active.. look for a reference for the cdrom and make sure that it doesn't have a "#" at the front of the line. [02:04] santous: Pastebin your menu.lst before the update-grub [02:04] sprinkmeier and is there a netinstall iso? [02:04] it's driving me mad [02:04] Flannel, what about the other ones? [02:04] are they ok? [02:04] joanki123, all depends on what you want to do and which options you want available. Adding more repositories gives you more things to install, but not all repositories are equally good/stable [02:04] sprinkmeier: something like this ??? >>> sudo mount UUID="24B85798B85766F8" TYPE="ntfs" /mnt/sda [02:04] ok... but it's not UNSAFE or taxing on my system to have it [02:04] i will do that Flannel said if that is the case [02:04] thanks for the input all [02:05] how to install rails. apt-get install rails ? [02:05] jjshoe, no problem with i586. gimme a minute or so to fins the netinstall ISO..... [02:05] scunizi, what would it look like in terms of the line referring to the CD, is it blatantly obvious? [02:05] joanki123: Nah. The others (gutsy, -updates, -security) are likely enabled already anyway. [02:05] thanks for your help, sprinkmeier..i greatly appreciate this.. [02:05] sajuuk: just a sec [02:05] ugh grep -ri groot on /etc came up blank. [02:06] !components | joanki123 [02:06] joanki123: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [02:06] where the heck is that stored? [02:06] sprinkmeier seems like mini.iso, just don't know the code name for the current ubuntu [02:06] what's the difference between sudo apt-get update and sudo update-manager -d? [02:06] bonez46, I have not useed the TYPE="..." syntax. Also, it might be "-U hex_soup" instead of "UUID=...", to be honest I've never mounted using UUID and was just cheating by looking at /etc/fstab. TRy it, check man mount.... [02:06] sajuuk: yes.. first two words of the line will be "deb cdrom".. probably also one of the first entries. [02:06] scunizi, lines like this # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu-Server 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release i386 (20081028.1)]/ intrepid m$ [02:06] Hey, I have a completely corrupted windows registry (to the point that the repair option in the windows install disk wont work). I am trying to mount the partition with ntfs-3g in ubuntu but I am wondering how safe is it to use the '-o force' option when transferring the files to a USB backup hard drive. [02:06] joanki123: apt-get update will fetch new package information from the internet. update-manager -d will try nd upgrade you to a development release. (They're extremely different) [02:06] sajuuk: yep [02:06] scunizi, so clear those lines? [02:07] thank you very much... how often should i sudo update-manager -d? [02:07] I'm using partimage to make an image of an ntfs partition (/dev/sda1) that I am saving on a usb external drive (/dev/sdb1). I am running partimage from systemrescuecd on a flash drive. I mounted the external using mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /backup and then ran partimage. It saves to about 10%, then I get a big blue screen that says at the top "partimage: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x005468a0 ***ying used data blocks" [02:07] sajuuk: no don't clear.. just make sure that there isn't a # at the front of the line [02:07] Anyone have any ideas? [02:07] what's the code name for the most current server edition ubuntu? [02:07] intrepid? [02:08] yes [02:08] scunizi, ok done [02:08] Anyone here know have time to help me with a video card issue? If put in my 6600GT, ubuntu 8.10+ won't boot [02:08] sajuuk: save with ctrl+w then exit with ctrl+x.. [02:09] scunizi, done (i use pico btw) [02:09] so if I wanted to install from the net http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/installer-i386/20080522ubuntu23/images/netboot/mini.iso is the best way to go? [02:09] any java developer here ??? [02:09] sajuuk: pop the install cd into the drive and then type sudo aptitiude (not apt-get) [02:09] rgr gimme a sec [02:09] jjshoe, http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/releases/intrepid/ has a list of ISO's, netinstall not among them. does it have to be netinstall? (I know debina has one, but I don't know about ubuntu). Normal install will update form 'net if available [02:09] joanki123: you shouldn't. [02:10] sprinkmeier it's not the mini.iso ? [02:10] joanki123: In the normal process of things you'll be prompted about upgrading, but only after theyre stable, etc. [02:10] sprinkmeier http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/installer-i386/20080522ubuntu23/images/netboot/mini.iso [02:10] jjshoe, not sure where you got mini.iso. Is it debian or ubuntu? [02:10] sajuuk: on the menu that pops up you'll see a list of catagories .. go to Tasks.. find printserver and tag it for installation. [02:10] am I going to have to reinstall just to set a new groot? [02:11] that seems excessive. [02:11] Hey, I have a completely corrupted windows registry (to the point that the repair option in the windows install disk wont work). I am trying to mount the partition with ntfs-3g in ubuntu but I am wondering how safe is it to use the '-o force' option when transferring the files to a USB backup hard drive. [02:11] santous: Did you pastebin it? [02:11] pastebin what? [02:11] scunizi, ok looks weird, how do i 'find' on this? [02:11] groot keeps getting set to the UUID of the disk it put it on on install [02:11] The End [02:11] jjshoe, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ [02:12] sajuuk: arrow key down to tasks and hit enter [02:12] santous: your menu.lst with the modified groot that keeps getting overwritten? [02:12] if I change it, and run update-grub, it changes it back. [02:12] santous: I'd like to see it post change (pre update-grub) [02:12] i'm just replacing what's there with root=(hd0,3) [02:12] scunizi, yep, it has another branch 'unrecognised tasks' [02:12] santous: That's the wrong way to do it. [02:12] sajuuk: yep.. go ther. [02:12] there [02:12] pre update-grub: # groot=(hd0,3) [02:13] santous: Please pastebin it. [02:13] scunizi, which branch am i looking for? [02:13] never mind i got it. [02:13] GeekChick|, image the disk if possible, use read-only mode [02:13] adding a line jacks it up [02:13] sajuuk: print server [02:13] you have to replace the groot line, not just add a # to it. [02:13] sajuuk: brb.. gotta check the pizza [02:13] sprinkmeier, is the option '-r' or -o ro' [02:13] i've never remembered having to do that before. [02:13] weird. [02:13] sokay, thanks, Flannel, it's good to go. [02:13] santous: Corrct. You edit that line, and the comments tell update-grub what to write. [02:14] Geek`N`Proud, "-o ro". Creating an image (using dd_rescue or similar) is the best way to proceed, no way to munge the original if you're not messing with it :-) [02:14] helo what 983.5 KiB mean ? what KiB mean ? [02:14] sajuuk: back.. almost burnt it. [02:15] scunizi, ok I am in the Print Server branch and its got a nice set of stuff, get cups and cups [02:15] scunizi, damn, I would hate to burn my pizzas [02:15] scunizi, pizza is so yum :) [02:15] helper: KiB === 1024 bytes [02:15] Anyone have any ideas why ubuntu wouldn't boot if I put in my 6600GT? [02:15] the GUI loading screen doesn't start [02:15] sajuuk: if possible you should try tagging the Print Server name so it includes everything under it.. [02:16] Flannel, and mib mean KB ?

[02:18] gets to the first install screen: IE: install ubuntu, then dumps to terminal type screen [02:18] if I take it out, works fine [02:18] sajuuk: if you haven't already you should also tag openssh server [02:18] okie thanks i have mikrotik they bot limit tx/rx tx = download rx = i want to limit download 15 KB but i want to write them in bytes [02:18] alternate cd installs fine as well but then does the same thing [02:18] "these files should all be owned by that group you just made."  [02:18] what does that mean [02:18] Lord-Jynx, can switch back to... Ctrl+Alt+F1 then login and issue a sudo init 1 then choose the bottom option for graphics problems ... [02:18] scunizi, ok I pressed g to install and now i got a 'close up' of just the PS stuff [02:18] nomasteryoda I can't even get it to boot, that's the problem [02:18] Hi guys [02:18] heya, just upgraded to Jaunty Jackelope for the heck of it, and cannot compile my app, as -lGL cannot be found [02:18] scunizi, whats next? [02:18] a Qt4 app [02:19] Hi 2Everybody [02:19] herenbdy: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks. [02:19] sajuuk: I'm not really good with aptitude.. Flannel can you help out here? sajuuk needs to use aptitiude to install printserver on his server install.

[02:19] what name can i configure in network list 2 access 2 irc hispano [02:19] oh then hit the Esc key at grub and then "e" to edit the first line... and add "single" to the end to get to root mode [02:20] scunizi, sajuuk: aptitude is functionally equivalent to apt-get, so whatever package you want, you just aptitude install package === spider is now known as Guest49424 [02:20] err, not root mode but maintenance mode ... then "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the device for video to "nv" [02:20] or vesa [02:20] how can i release a dhcp lease from my ISP?because i want to use another laptop [02:21] nomasteryoda ok... let me try that.. thanks [02:21] Hiya; can anyone help me out with the commands to remove/uninstall Bluetooth Analyzer and Palm OS Devices ? [02:21] using ubuntu [02:21] hey guys , anyone know how to upgrade ubuntu 8.10 to ubuntu studio ? [02:21] Happy-Dude, sudo apt-get remove btanalyser [02:21] i have a question [02:21] should do it [02:21] i just messed with my system under root [02:22] and i have the log [02:22] Guest49424, Are you sure the lease is from your ISP rather than from your ADSL modem/router? what's the address (i.e. 192.168.... is almost certainly from a modem) [02:22] i read somewhere that instead of using webmin in ubuntu, you should use something else. What's the name of that something else? [02:22] and want to unstiall and fix everything i just did [02:22] Flannel: sajuuk is using the "tasks" section to get the job done.. he's installed cups but I don't think everything installed as there is no demon [02:22] scunizi, Flannel thats kinda confusing, so how do i sudo aptitude install a whole section? [02:22] mejobloggs, xterm :-) [02:22] best way to install Ruby on Rails in 8.10? [02:22] so [02:22] sajuuk: Try using tasksel instead [02:22] anyone have any ideas [02:22] fglrx isn't even working. [02:22] sprinkmeier, i just want to use my other laptop to connect to the internet. How do I do this? [02:23] Flannel: he needs an explicit line [02:23] Flannel, scunizi , still confused [02:23] nomasteryoda: unforuntately, it can't find the package -- but its still in the application menu [02:23] sajuuk, scunizi: sudo tasksel, then choose print server. Which I believe is in there. [02:23] I installed Adobe Flash Player. YouTube (with firefox) still doesn't want to accept that its been installed. Solution? [02:23] sprinkmeier, yeah..thats my IP ADDresss after ifconfig [02:23] Guest49424, If the ADSL modem is handing out addresses then there should be no problem giving out two simultaneously. If the ISP is assigning your address, it's likely to be a static address and very unlikely to be handed out using DHCP. What is the IP address you;re trying to give up? [02:23] http://pastebin.com/d33eab8de i just messed wtih that and i want to undo it [02:23] Guest49424 -> can you change your nick to something easier to type, something unique [02:23] Happy-Dude, the Synaptic package manger [02:23] http://pastebin.com/d33eab8de i just messed around in root how do i undo it and start over [02:23] sajuuk: that's what I was trying to remember previously.. Thanks Flannel === Guest49424 is now known as spiderx [02:24] Guest49424, just plug in the laptop and see what happens. Chances are you'll get "192.168...n+1" === spiderx is now known as spideryummy [02:24] Flannel, scunizi ok it was already installed (its selected) [02:24] so anyone have any ideas [02:24] Hi, im trying to restore my grub after my windows installation. How do I find My partition so I can put the proper root (hdX,X )???? [02:24] i'm having a problem with compiled source code vs. packages, after i compiled some code and used 'sudo make install' i can't get the command working with my packages, how can i fix that? i think he looks into the wrong directory, because i can see the program itself in /usr/bin [02:24] spideryummy -> your router do not have multiple ports? [02:24] !grub | joetromondo [02:24] joetromondo: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

YouTube (with firefox) still doesn't want to accept that its been installed. Solution? [02:25] Hey all! Is there a way to search for all instances of a file on a partition? i.e. List the locations of all "foo.txt" files in /home? [02:25] scunizi, give it a minute or two i spose [02:25] it looks like, i can only connect to internet using thsi PC...but not other laptop [02:25] Happy-Dude, same thing... open up synaptic, search for Palm [02:25] spideryummy -> how is your laptop connected to your router? wireless or ethernet? [02:25] ethernet [02:26] blahblahblah: how'd you install flash? [02:26] when seting up mythbuntu what do i but as my user name and pass word and stuff [02:26] blahblahblah: i have the answer [02:26] sajuuk: :) [02:26] spideryummy -> your router has multiple ports right? [02:26] blahblahblah: its in a text document finding it hold on [02:26] how do i make fglrx work. [02:26] !flash [02:26] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [02:26] I did that , but in grub mode when I put find /boot/grub/stage1 it says file no found [02:26] n8tuser,maybe..let me see [02:26] spideryummy, right kind of cable? desktop may have gigabit (auto-sensing) whereas laptop might not (and require straight/cross-over cable). Do you get the blinkenlights on the ethernet ort indicating connection? [02:26] scunizi, still sitting at 0%, its not hanging is it? [02:26] blahblahblah: ok type this in terminal sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree mozilla-plugin-gnash [02:26] Happy-Dude: downloaded the .tar.gz, extracted and ran the install file as a terminal app as my admin user [02:26] sajuuk: is the cdrom light on occationally? [02:27] scunizi, let me check [02:27] sprinkmeier, there is a power supply attached to the cable... [02:27] ok [02:27] i have a problem [02:27] scunizi, the server is sitting on the other side of the house XD [02:27] i messsed around in root [02:27] and some sort of adapter...dont know why [02:27] and i want to undo what i just did [02:27] how do i do that [02:27] cactusfrog: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:27] hey, i just want to switch this cable to my laptop and make it work... [02:27] FloodBot: ok i wont [02:27] can some one plz help me [02:27] sajuuk: ah! you do like me. hiding it from the wife? [02:27] spideryummy, probably wrong cable... I was thinking of the RJ45 network cable. Are you attaching wirelessly? [02:27] but cant do [02:27] wired [02:28] sprinkmeier, cable works in PC1. I move the cable to laptop. Didnt work... [02:28] blahblahblah: if you got FF (or a gecko based browser) -- you coulda gotten the .deb; unless you didn't want to do that? [02:28] ok i am really want to undo what i just did how do i do so!!!!!!!!!!! its starting to get anoying i payed 140 for ubantu and the IRC sucks [02:28] its that simple... [02:28] cactusfrog: run it as root, right? ;) [02:28] =( [02:28] why? [02:28] Happy-Dude: the package manager doesn't seem to like the .deb [02:28] blahblahblah: ya [02:29] it seems, that only this PC is accepted. [02:29] spideryummy, no lights? can you run "dmesg" beforre/after pluggging in the cable to see how the system reacts? [02:29] cactusfrog: that's cool ;) [02:29] Happy-Dude, the best case is to use the one supplied in the repos [02:29] ctl alt f1 dont ever press it [02:29] scunizi, nah under my dads desk :) [02:29] hello [02:29] How do you ssh into a webserver? [02:29] i am wondering if anyone knows how to undo changes i made [02:29] scunizi, btw no lights were flashing and tasksel: aptitude failed (100) [02:29] i want to get rid of a group [02:29] and [02:30] spideryummy, the ADSL modem has only a single port I take it. Did you run anything special on the PC (like a PPPOE daemon) to get it to work? [02:30] install [02:30] cactusfrog: k, so, type that in terminal, as root, press ctk alt f1 and then come in here and ask how I borked my system, right? ;) [02:30] I'm trying to install apache2 and php5 with mod_fcgid [02:30] guys, how can release IP [02:30] brb [02:30] i think thats the problem? [02:30] blahblahblah: no i was kidding [02:30] In terminal, I get this error: "Module php5 does not exist!" [02:30] sajuuk: is this a pretty fresh install? [02:30] blahblahblah: just type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree mozilla-plugin-gnash [02:30] blahblahblah: that should fix [02:30] I'm at codebit 3 section 2, here: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-apache2-with-mod_fcgid-and-php5-on-ubuntu-8.10 [02:30] sprinkmeier, no [02:30] blahblahblah: it [02:30] scunizi, nah its got some love in it, 3 months old [02:31] spideryummy, releasing the IP is most likely not your problem It seems that networking between laptop and modem isn't working (what lights on the laptop/modem ports change when you change the cable from PC to laptop?). [02:31] if I trasnfer this ethernet cable to laptop,..it should work..but it didnt [02:31] no light [02:31] even in pc [02:31] ok i am having truble getting help basicly i want to get rid of a group i just added [02:31] now before I get this error, it says: "Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName" [02:31] okay, once again, Flash has been installed. Firefox apparently doesn't get the message. [02:31] Hey all! Is there a way to search for all instances of a file in a directory? For example, is there an easy way to list the locations of all the "foo.txt" files in /home? [02:31] sajuuk: too bad.. I'd say just reinstall.. but you can use aptitude and look under the task section to see if there were any packages you missed when installing cups [02:31] spideryummy, OK... do you know if the laptop has working ethernet? i.e. does it work somewhere else? [02:31] Can anyone help me out with this? I'm trying to set up a CMS [02:31] of course,..,. [02:31] blahblahblah: did you restart firefox [02:31] yes [02:31] es [02:31] yes [02:31] did you restart firefox, blahblahblah? [02:31] scunizi, hmm can i PM you for a sec? [02:32] cactus are you talking to me? [02:32] i will remove this cable now and transfer to laptop..it will not work! [02:32] yes [02:32] spideryummy, Can you try a different cable? a cross-over or straight-through? [02:32] i am talking to anyone [02:32] i need to unistall some files i just unzipped [02:32] spideryummy -> whats the os in your laptop? [02:32] sajuuk: ok [02:32] i have the [02:32] No. But do I need to restart firefox? [02:32] ubuntu botgh [02:32] ubuntu both [02:32] log here [02:32] spideryummy -> compare their respective /etc/network/interfaces are they the same? [02:33] of course..fresh install [02:33] all clean [02:33] no mess [02:33] if i move the cable there..it wont work.. [02:33] even dhclient [02:33] blahblahblah: see if this works [02:33] spideryummy -> you do this on the non working one, sudo lshw -C network and post it [02:33] blahblahblah: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree === tabris_ is now known as tabris|away [02:33] !who | spideryummy [02:33] spideryummy: 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 :) [02:34] spideryummy, until you can get some lights to come up when you plug in the cable I'd suspect the cable. Do you know if the PC is sgigabit? Can you try plugging the PC into the laptop (i.e. if the cable is the wrong gender for the laptop and ADSL to talk then maybe we can at least confirm basic ethernet by getting the laptop and gigabit-autoisensing PC to talk) [02:35] grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 [02:35] Error 15: File not found [02:35] grub> find /boot/stage1 [02:35] Error 15: File not found [02:35] grub> [02:35] joetromondo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:37] can someone give me tips on how to install ubuntu over the network? [02:37] forget root password [02:37] cl428: you forgot? === guest__ is now known as guest_007 [02:38] lan [02:38] mejobloggs: no CD-rom? [02:38] yes I forgot my root password [02:39] testing something, I ran firefox as root. Now my firefox settings won't save, like my home page for example. I read somewhere that I should use chown to change the .mozilla directory, but that only locked me out of the folder. Now I have the permissions back, but every time I open firefox the home page is at the ubuntu default. [02:39] cl428, boot insto single user mode and reset it. [02:39] cl428: well since ubuntu does not set a root password unless you set one yourself you will need to use a livecd and chroot into your system and issue the command passwd [02:39] cl428: reboot, go to boot menu, press e, find boot options press e and add "single" - w/o ". enter, press b to boot. then change password (In single mode) [02:40] Prm753, try renaming .mozilla it'll be re-created next time you start FF and should have permissions etc. correct. [02:40] I know [02:40] hmmm I wonder if that actually works if root has a password on it [02:40] Any Ideast how to set up my grub to boot ubuntu again [02:40] since lasttime I knew it does not [02:40] ? === arooni-mobile is now known as arooni [02:40] kitche, by default, yes. You can do things like set grub passwords to prevent it, but by and large if you can get to the physical media you an ownz it :-) [02:40] joetromondo: boot with a live cd, and edit your grub menu [02:41] jsjones: Im trying to do that now [02:41] but the problem is [02:41] sprinkmeier: yes I know that but last tiem I tried it if root had a password you still needed the password to log in unless you did some fancy stuff with grub [02:41] hello [02:41] in grub says file no found [02:41] init=/bin/sh [02:41] jsjones: got it [02:41] hi all. I'm writting a little app and it has a binary and a media folder (contains the icons for now) can anyone point as to where I should put these files in an installation? [02:41] jsjones: got it? [02:42] is this the place to ask this? [02:42] I have a problem with irssi [02:42] and if i want to restore my bookmarks, can i copy the bookmarks folder over to the new .mozilla folder? [02:42] i've just installed Ubuntu 8.10. I have a Creative X-Fi card and installed the drivers, but I can't seem to get 5.1 surround sound to work... the ALSA drivers dont seem to output any sound at all [02:42] joetromondo: okay [02:42] Prm753 [02:42] should i switch to Ubuntu 8.04 ? could it be better for that? [02:42] Prm753: u can import your bookmarks using firefox [02:42] how to switch from more than 10 windows on irssi [02:42] and the OSS drivers only give me stereo sound for some reason [02:42] phpwn: what is your reasoning/ what do you need? [02:42] jsjones: I mean , im still with the same problem [02:42] kitche, ok, back to 'boot off live CD and mangle /etc/shadow' [02:42] I would like to have full surround sound [02:43] jsjones: in grub find /grub/stage1 => File not found [02:43] I downloaded the film Elephants Dream but it only plays in stereo in VLC or other media players [02:43] sprinkmeier: you don't even have to touch shadow for my way of repairing a lost password [02:43] joetromondo: you could try reinstalling grub [02:44] and only when I use OSS drivers [02:44] phpwn: think it might be a media player setting? [02:44] i set the media players all to 5.1 mode [02:44] jsjones: how do I do that? [02:44] phpwn: or might you have an outdated driver? [02:44] i downloaded the open source linux driver from Creative's site [02:44] kitche, correct. but 'chown' requires the live CD and the installed system to be the same bit-ed-ness (32 or 64). swings and roundabouts :-) [02:44] that did the trick. thanks! [02:45] hey why this stupid error cant modify my mysql ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [02:45] joetromondo: well do you know what happened that messed up grub originally? [02:45] is 8.10 an unstable/experimental build? is it worse/better than 8.04? [02:45] hey guys trying to configure my firefox to use plugins.. i have enabled and install mplayer.. but im running into trouble with a website that requires directx ... i guess IIS dunno.. but it doesnt look like i can stream the online radio from this site without ... anybody got any recs as how to handle [02:45] the site is korean.. [02:45] jsjones: Yep, I reinstalled windows vista [02:46] phpwn, 8.10 is the current build. 9.04 is currently the 'stable/alpha' one. 8.04 is LTS (long-term support) [02:46] phpwn: 8.10 is stable [02:46] phpwn: Ubuntu 8.10 is stable, intrepid ibex; ubuntu 9.04 alpha is unstable, juanty kackelope [02:46] ah i see [02:46] jaunty jackelope* [02:46] hm [02:46] louiscvh: trt mysql --user=root --pass mysql [02:46] joetromondo: there should be an easy way to fix that, hold on [02:46] and set the new root password [02:46] has anyone had success with the X-Fi sound card in ubuntu then? [02:46] user_1: if the site requires Internet explorer then you can't use the site unless you get agent changer and sometimes that does not even work [02:47] phpwn: only with OSS4, which is slightly nonuserfriendly [02:47] in my sound controls i see "OSS Drivers" and "ALSA Drivers" [02:47] the OSS give me stereo sound [02:47] but ALSA give me nothing [02:47] phpwn: well, you aren't really using OSS drivers [02:48] joetromondo: try following this guide- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [02:48] do you know if it's possible to get surround sound with the OSS? [02:48] oh [02:48] thanks plr0 [02:48] so I have to install something different? [02:48] phpwn, yeah, like arkady said, there really is no OSS [02:48] phpwn, its all asla [02:48] rdw200169: there is no OSS /in Ubuntu/ [02:48] jsjones: I did try that [02:48] *head explodes* [02:48] arkady, true, true [02:49] phpwn, are you running pulseaudio? [02:49] louiscvh: you are welcome. did it work? [02:49] phpwn: rdw200169: there really is an OSS, and it's available but as a separate deb. You don't want to use pulse with OSS4 [02:49] I'm not quite sure, i see it in the list as well [02:49] jsjones: But like I said, its returnning File not found [02:49] yes [02:49] somebody know about php nuke [02:49] arkady: I bet ubuntu does have OSS but it's not OSS4 [02:49] i've installed flash player (with no error messages). restarted firefox and still, youtube tells me that i still don't have it installed (FireFox). Now what? solution? === andyh2 is now known as andyh2|away [02:49] so I should install OSS4 separately? [02:49] and use that? [02:49] phpwn, no. [02:49] not if you have support from Canonical [02:50] blahblah1lah, are you running add-ons like flashblock? [02:50] sprinkmeier: not to my knowledge. if it's not a default in firefox then no [02:50] kitche: it has alsa's OSS emulation layer, which, to tell the truth, is junk [02:50] sorry, i have no idea what the terms Pulseaudio, Canonical, etc do for me in my situation :( [02:50] and javascript and java are enabled in FireFox [02:50] arkady: hmm that's only if you use alsa which ubuntu does not use by default [02:50] I've seen the word Pulseaudio somewhere in the sound setup [02:51] but not sure if i'm running it, or what [02:51] phpwn, ok, try this in the terminal: ps -AF | grep pulse [02:51] kitche: err, Ubuntu DOES use alsa [02:51] blahblah1lah, can you try a different size (like the adobe test-flash site) to confirm/deny that flash is working? [02:51] ok [02:51] arkady: hmm last tiem I checked everything is set to use pulseaudio by default [02:51] sure. link please? [02:51] How do I set up my bluetooth headset? [02:51] i can google it actually [02:52] I'm not saying OSS4 is a good idea, just that if it's the only thing that works then it has to be better [02:52] phpwn, it *should* mention that the pulseaudio daemon is running, if that is the case, install the pulseaudio taskbar applet [02:52] Awsoonn_, I beleive there is a bleutooth gui in the system menu, if not , check in synaptic for one [02:52] kitche: yes, but pulseaudio is another layer in between [02:52] blahblah1lah, http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ should do it [02:52] do we have a release date for jaunty or is it too soon to ask ? [02:53] Pelo: April 23rd [02:53] Pelo, April 23 [02:53] joetromondo: did you try using an Alternate install cd? [02:53] Pelo: apr--- beat me to it [02:53] arkady: ummm ok if you say so since pulseaudio is not another layer between alsa and the system [02:53] heh, it wants me to install sockwave, flashplayer and enable javascript. [02:53] jsjones: I dont have any other linux live cds [02:53] I already installed flashplayer and I know JScript is enabled [02:53] I love this OS..sorry, I'm just a tiny User. [02:53] kitche: pulseaudio depends on alsa [02:53] Pelo: why not check the #ubuntu+1 channel and see? [02:54] kitche: it does other stuff like RTP streaming, etc, but needs alsa to handle the local sound card [02:54] blahblah1lah, if adobe can't find flash then youtube won't either.... check FF options to make sure flash is enabled? [02:54] joetromondo: You can use an "Alternate Install CD" instead of a "Live CD" [02:54] yeah, if you check the pulseaudio website, they describe in detail how it works. in ubuntu, it uses alsa as the link to the soundcard [02:54] !who | blahblah1lah [02:54] blahblah1lah: As you can see, this is a large channel.

Thanks for making Ubuntu. [02:56] sprinkmeier: which menu should i check at? [02:56] I'm in the 8.10 live CD and if I do lspci i see: Ethernet Controller: Atheros Communcations Inc. AR242x 80211abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter, but if I do ifconfig it is not listed as an interface. how do i bring it up [02:56] b1n42y: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg or just use plain xorg to make sure you get all of it [02:56] b1n42y: then if you need to install gnome or another DE/WM [02:56] anyone here know why a 6600GT would stop ubuntu from loading?

[02:58] package manager jscinoz-m1330 [02:58] jsjones, synaptic [02:58] package manager jsjones that is [02:58] thank you [02:59] sprinkmeier: there's no setting that would indicate it would be disabled. [02:59] Hello, How can I disable SCIM ? It keeps switching to chinese (or other odd language) input characters because I always accidently touches some hotkeys. It gets annoying always having to switch back... [02:59] jsjones: sun-java6-jre or sun-java6-jdk depending on what you need [02:59] sprinkmeier: Adobe Flash player, that is [03:00] needhelp: try going to System -> Preferences -> keyboard shortcuts. maybe something was changed there [03:00] scunizi, still there? [03:01] blahblah1lah, did you install flash as root (i.e. is it available for everyone?) does it work from another account? Are you going through some sort of proxy/.firewall/filter that might be disabling flash? [03:01] blahblah1lah: could not find it there [03:02] sajuuk_: yep [03:02] yes I installed as root. I don't have another account to test with at the moment. no proxy or firewall. This has happened before, even after updateing Ubuntu after install [03:02] sajuuk_: what happened? [03:02] scunizi, look in pm :) [03:03] hello [03:03] Hello [03:03] Anyone else here trying out crunchbang linux tonight? [03:03] blahblah1lah, try the gust login (8.10 right?) to see if it's just something to do with your account. FF-Flash should work out of the box... [03:03] How come this...

[03:04] sprinkmeier: this is the main administrative account. no reason why it shouldn't work in this account, of all accounts, heh. [03:04] Trying out crunchbang - pretty impressive [03:04] sprinkmeier: as for the version, let me double check [03:04] No files to extract [03:05] But if I do... [03:05] 8.04 Hardy Heron [03:05] ok, this is odd.. I can do the recovery mode, THEN get into gdm just fine [03:05] "unrar e file1.rar" in the same directory. Bunch of files get extracted.

[03:06] Anyone installed 8.10 on their PPC? Get wifi working? [03:06] blahblah1lah, the 'main admin' account is just art of the admin group, which allows sudo to run and configure things. otherwise it's the same as a 'normal' account. I'd suggest switching users just in case something is messed up in your settings (maybe old pages are cached, maybe there's an add-on you, whatever). 8.04 does not have a guest login by default so you might have to create a junk account to test this. [03:06] Can I use Ubuntu to look at xp recent documents? [03:07] sprinkmeier: okay. i'll try it for the hell of it [03:07] brb [03:07] ebdrake, for X in *.rar ; do rar e $X ; done [03:07] good point.

[03:11] sprinkmeier: XKCD ?

[04:04] i'm using the same login for my ssh connection and it's working in my ftp client :) [04:04] Flipo: and you can start it with /etc/init.d/yourscript start ?

[04:12] b1n42y: server installs do not install a desktop environment, so I would suspect not. [04:12] tritium: ahh ok thanks [04:12] hi [04:12] b1n42y: if you decided to install a desktop, then you could easily make it do so, however [04:12] question [04:12] how do i upgrade to the 686 kernel [04:13] i tried sudo apt-get install linux-686 [04:13] tritium: so id need to set that up from within NM ? [04:13] i am using intrepid [04:13] depends where you get your packages from but in general a version of packages is frozen at some point to make the release "stable" [04:13] b1n42y: set which up?

[04:14] if I take a sata drive.. running etch out of a system with Pentium II, 32 bit system and put it in a newer system with a 64 bit amd cpu. would that create EXT4 errors? Is that possible?

[04:16] Okay, I am in dire need of some help. [04:16] codyxx: with what? [04:16] !ask [04:16] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[04:18] codyxx try boot fail safe and apt-get clean then try again [04:18] bonez46, Though you mentioned ext4, I have no idea about that. Still using ext3, not planning on moving up for a bit. [04:18] okay [04:19] which distro is ubuntu based on? [04:19] Would I just boot fail safe with grub [04:19] gui, debian [04:19] !Debian | gui [04:19] gui: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [04:19] probably is hd space so apt-get clean just clears the package cache [04:19] tritium: given my question was is NM supposed to control network connections i thought it was implied that i had already installed ubuntu-desktop [04:19] gui: specifically, debian's unstable branch [04:19] I have a 250gb hard drive. [04:20] so which distro is debian based on or is it an original one? [04:20] when i installed ubuntu server I didn't have it plugged into network. When i got to the 'configure network' I said i'd configure it later. So... now that it's installed, how do I configure the network? [04:20] And I have enough disk space. I had 190gb of disk space free. [04:20] gui: debian is more or less original [04:20] anyone here ever synchronized a windows mobile 5 device with their ubuntu distro?? i want to synchronize my phone with my distro so i wont have to boot up to redmond [04:20] gui: Debian is one of the first Linux distros [04:20] so which is better, ubuntu or debian? [04:20] gui: Ubuntu for new users [04:20] hmm ok i'm out of ideas [04:20] gui: it largely depends on personal preference [04:20] b1n42y: it was not, as you asked about server installs, for which desktop environments are not default [04:21] gui, it all depends, really, if youre a newbie i HIGHLY recommend ubuntu [04:21] RussM_: that's just it. I haven't moved up.. the drive in question is running 8.10 desktop, and I don't know anything about ext4 either.. [04:21] so what does debian has that is not found in debian? [04:21] in ubuntu* [04:21] mezquitale: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/WindowsMobile [04:22] gui: ubuntu is better for a desktop-system, because of the shorter release-times and the newer software. its based on debian unstable. Debian is better for servers, because its using very stable software. ubuntu is easier to handle, because of some nice guis (all my opinion) [04:22] gui: Debian is free and open source software by default, and makes it harder to get closed source software such as the Flash plugin, than Ubuntu does [04:22] tritium: so now you know, my bad ... , how do i solve this [04:22] b1n42y: so, if you have ubuntu-desktop installed, you have the choice of configuring network-manager, or configuring your interfaces manually in /etc/network/interfaces [04:22] i see [04:22] thanks [04:22] zeitsofa, thanks, all those docs are old, using intrepid, i just wanted to know if there was anyone here who has synchronized their wm5 device with their distro [04:22] gui: Debian also has it's own version of FIrefox under it's own name, with a differnet logo, because of some stupiditity [04:22] blackest_knight1: Would you like to see the ~/.xession-errors file I get after the prompt? [04:23] zeitsofa, in installing all the utils that i need however it's been quite a few minutes installing triggers for python-support [04:23] tritium: well my network works so configs are fine, just would like to have it setup in NM, ive tried adding wired connection, but doesnt seem to work [04:24] gui: Debian is also apparantly better for servers, than Ubuntu [04:24] mezquitale: it works fine for me. i used this 2 month ago [04:24] "/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...

[04:25] gui: anything in the repositories [04:25] gui: just precompiled packages, but that a very much [04:25] gui: a few thousand packages are available, but a lot is also not availalbe [04:25] gui: the standard-software you will find in the different repos [04:25] zeitsofa, are you using intrepid? [04:25] so can i install any software found on any other distro's repos than ubuntu? [04:25] b1n42y: I'm not a big fan of NM, myself, actually. [04:25] gui: no [04:25] mezquitale: yes i did [04:26] gui: just the ubuntu repos for the correct-version [04:26] tritium: same i use wicd on my laptop [04:26] zeitsofa, you think it'll work with WM6? [04:26] gui: but trust me there are many many many packages inside the ubuntu-repos [04:26] b1n42y: cool. So, I may not be the best person to advise you on configuring NM, if that's your intent. [04:26] gui: ,but for example for a later version of Wine found in the Ubuntu repo, you can add the www.winehq.org ubuntu repo [04:27] tritium: thanks [04:27] but there are alot of softwares that i need to use that aren't just in ubuntu's repos [04:27] gui: somesites offer repos that can be added for Ubuntu, but you should be careful that it's from a good source, because they could have maybe done something malicious to the package [04:27] gui: such as? [04:27] gui: which for example? [04:27] like kismet, maltego [04:28] gui: whatever those are [04:28] p0f [04:28] how does one safely move a drive running ubuntu from 32 bit system to a 64 bit system? should that just work, or what might have to be done to grub to make it work?

When I play DVDs they are very slow, like the PC can't push out a fast enough frame-rate, and the video quality is pretty bad (looks grainy). Is there a better solution to playing DVDs then totem-xine? [04:36] bazhang: ok [04:36] gui: I would guess that you've not enabled the universe or multiverse repositories.

[04:37] gui: that's also available [04:38] gui: yes you can have enlightment, but it needs some configuring to be any good in Ubuntu [04:38] SomePriest: i dont have problems with bad image quality [04:38] DIFH-iceroot, You help develop it do you? ;) [04:38] gui: you can get Elive though :d [04:38] SomePriest: no, just a vlc-fan [04:38] |Kamen|, it should work with little to know setup. ^_^ [04:38] gui: Elive already configured live CD for it [04:38] gui: please enable the universe and multiverse repos, and update your package listings [04:38] is that better than enlightnment? [04:38] gui: Elive uses enlightment, but it's already been set it up properly for it, I still need to try it [04:39] is there any newer ubuntus than 9.0.4 alpha?

[04:39] how do i restart my network [04:39] jaunty is in development [04:39] it has bugs [04:39] !distro [04:39] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [04:39] gui: no, 8.10 is the newest stable one [04:39] gui: you shoudn't really have jaunty since your new to Ubuntu [04:40] but i thought i should get the latest [04:40] gui: no, the newest is nt always the best [04:40] not [04:40] gui: 8.10 is the latest stable. 9.04 will be out properly on like April 23rd [04:40] When I first installed ubuntu, a warning told me fglrx drivers were available, but were proprietary. I chose to install them. The intaller hung for ages, didn't even download them. So I cancelled it. Now that message saying those drivers are available is missing. How do I reopen that dialog? [04:40] lts is the best [04:40] gui: if you like a stable system with long support, use ubuntu 8.04 hardy [04:40] gui: which one do you have installed? 8.10 or 9.04? [04:41] (it was a widget that appeared at the top right of my screen, but is no longer there) [04:41] it's not installed really i just downloaded it and tried it on virtual box [04:41] zeitsofa, thanks! I'll try that later on, right now i have wm5 but ill upgrade to wm6 once i figure out how to synchronize my phone with my ubuntu distro [04:41] gui: your on XP? [04:41] ya [04:41] <|Kamen|> Nalf: the one I am thinking of is here: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12696 (its for a laptop) [04:41] but 9.0.4 takes a huge amount of time to install [04:42] gui: 9.04 is development version. and the release you have is for people that want to test it early [04:42] i installed mandriva with tones of packages and it went much faster [04:42] gui: and developers of course [04:42] gui, sidux takes 5 minutes [04:42] to compare [04:42] nomasteryoda: sidux :d still got to try that [04:42] what about kubuntu? [04:42] gui: Ubuntu takes about 15 minutes or so to install [04:43] gui: its ubuntu with kde [04:43] gui, its good [04:43] gui: ubuntu installs are quite quick, actually [04:43] DIFH-iceroot, vlc is a bit better, not brilliant either though. Maybe the issue is that I'm watching a friends webcam in skype. Perhaps its too much processor lag, I guess. (never had this problem under windows :( [04:43] ya but not the one i got [04:43] gui: yeah, but in 8.10 can only really have KDE4, but KDE3 is nice to :) and not sure about having both KDE3 and 4 in KDE [04:43] |Kamen|, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup#Bluetooth%20support%20for%20Ubuntu%207.04%20and%20earlier just look over the related pages and stuff. [04:43] with 9.04... not 8.10 [04:43] gui: so I would virtual machine hardy 8.04 for KDE3 [04:43] gui: i like kde more then gnome, but kubuntu is not a very good kde-implementation just as suse (as kde-implementation [04:43] |Kamen|, I can't give you a 100%, unfortunately. [04:43] so i've accidently removed my vmlinuz/kernel.img files from /boot. is there a way i can restore these without reinstalling? [04:44] DIFH-iceroot: KDE4 I don't like that much, KDE3 was nice, but I stuck to Gnome [04:44] Hello, How can I disable SCIM ? It keeps switching to chinese (or other odd language) input characters because I always accidently touches some hotkeys. It gets annoying always having to switch back... [04:44] SomePriest: installed correct video-driver? which process is using high-cpu usage? (top) [04:44] DIFH-iceroot: just some of the apps got quite a bit better in KDE4 [04:44] cr4z3d: reinstall the kernel-image package that it/they belonged to [04:44] cr4z3d, you can install the kernel again [04:44] like tritium said [04:44] DIFH-iceroot, Skype is using 43%, its the highest by a long shot. [04:44] gui: ok you got a lot to learn, and yes trying stuff out in XP in a virtual machine is a good way to try, but then you should put stuff on for real on your hard disk later on [04:44] sebsebseb: i was using kde 4.0 and then i turned back to 3.5.9, never has seen the new (working) version of kde 4(.2) [04:45] gui: using partitining not wubi === CoJaBo__ is now known as CoJaBo [04:45] SomePriest: hm 43% is hard i think [04:45] DIFH-iceroot: 4.2 and 4.1 seem the same to me, but I never did do a proper look around [04:45] i have mandriva on my hdd now [04:45] DIFH-iceroot, Driver is fglrx (I'm using a Radeon 8500xt) [04:45] and use backtrack on VM [04:45] Is there a timestamp option somehwere in xchat? o.o [04:45] sebsebseb: with the new suse i will have a look at kde 4.x again [04:45] Hi, i am trying to remove the ubuntu icon to the left of the menu bar, does anybody know how? [04:45] but iam more into windows but i love linux [04:45] tritium: what's the best way to do this? it was on my eeepc using "easy peasey" formerly ubuntu eee. i have a live usb i can boot into but what kind of steps would be required to fix this [04:46] gui: Mandriva might be a nice distro, but it is a total noobs distro for people from Windows, by what I have heard etc. [04:46] i don't recommend anybody to use it [04:46] it's totally awful [04:46] skierKyle, its not supposed to be easy [04:46] sorry mandriva fans [04:46] gui: what Mandriva is? [04:46] skierKyle: system - settings- apperiance, there yu can disable the logo [04:46] DIFH-iceroot, Wait, that vid card is wrong. Hrm, 850 something-or-other, I forget, getting old :) [04:46] all the linux commands are totally different and it's not user friendly as claimed [04:46] gui: why do you think Mandriva is awful, and this is going a bit off topic, but whatever [04:47] ok you just answered === swoody_ is now known as swoody [04:47] plus not much support for it [04:47] cr4z3d: well, find out the package name (dpkg -l | grep linux-image). Once you know which package(s) you need to reinstall, sudo apt-get install [04:47] i couldn't update for along time [04:47] gui: yep Ubuntu is a great distro to start with and to stay with for many people [04:47] anybody using ubuntu 7.10? [04:48] gui: if you did not like Mandriva, why did you put that one on for real? [04:48] gui: 7.10 was nice, but no longer suppourted [04:48] DIFH-iceroot, Radeon x850 XT :) Anyway, its ATI. And I'm using the fglrx driver. [04:48] ada [04:48] SomePriest: sorry dont know anything about ati and its driver, so i dont know if it is the best one [04:48] i had a dvd off mandriva not an iso so i couldn't try it on my VM but it's my second Unix based try [04:48] hi [04:49] my first shot was solaris which has no buttons for shutdown or restart lol [04:49] is there a way to report spammers on the forums?

I used it to install fglrx, actually killed it before it finished, but it seems to have installed the driver anyway. [04:49] gui: ubuntu is the second-easiest distri so its a good choice [04:50] gui: you can have Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu and Englightment and what not, all in the same install [04:50] so which is the first? [04:50] DIFH-iceroot: system - preferences - appearance? and if so, where after that? [04:50] ah! [04:50] gui: which is the first what? [04:50] what is the comand to run something so you can see it prosses then kill it [04:50] you said that ubuntu is the second easiest distro so what's the first? [04:50] gui: I never said second easiest distro [04:50] skierKyle: i dont have an english version, i think its called GUI, just look there [04:51] gui: Ubuntu is one of the most easiest distros [04:51] ok [04:51] sorry that was DIFH-iceroot [04:51] so i really don't know the comand to run proceses [04:51] so [04:51] that i can easly quit them [04:51] gui: ubuntu [04:51] so DIFH-iceroot what's the first easiest one? [04:51] SomePriest: somewhere in the settings-tab i think [04:51] gui: opensuse [04:51] opensuse hummmm [04:51] i cant open tremulous everytime i open it it crahses [04:51] ,but that's linked to Novell [04:51] who made a patents deal with Microsoft [04:52] sebsebseb: does not matter [04:52] DIFH-iceroot, Settings tab? Tab in what program? [04:52] i just need one comand [04:52] And I would disagree with that claim, anyway. [04:52] how do i run something through termninal [04:52] anybody agrees that opensuse is the easiest? [04:52] SomePriest: menu on the top [04:52] so opensuse is like the community verison of Microsoft Linux :d [04:52] please [04:52] i think me too [04:52] ok [04:52] DIFH-iceroot, You mean "system"? I have no settings menu. [04:52] microsoft linux? [04:52] all quit using ubuntu [04:52] sebsebseb: i am using a system which i like and not which is not coming from microsoft [04:52] bonez46: yes see above at my joke [04:52] isn't that like saying one is a Mormon Catholic? [04:52] * gui laughing at microsoft linux [04:52] SomePriest: ah of course, system - settings [04:52] ah, ok [04:53] :) [04:53] gui: Microsoft did actsaully do a Unix ages ago I think [04:53] who relieced the first linux ? [04:53] please guys help [04:53] i cant run tremulous [04:53] well microsoft gained it's experience from Unix i believe [04:53] and i dont know how to find its id number so i can kill it [04:53] cactusfrog: Software Landing Systems was among the first [04:53] inuitive.. sounds just Unreoala....! [04:54] but aren't there any distro that can install downloaded softwares just like windows with a double clicks? [04:54] cactusfrog: ok put xkill in the terminal and click on the program that is causing problems [04:54] sebsebseb, they did a half-hearted VMS clone, called it NT :-) [04:54] DIFH-iceroot, System->Administration->Hardware Drivers [04:54] ok [04:54] cactusfrog: the first linux released? of course linus torvalds [04:54] SomePriest: yes [04:54] sprinkmeier: oh right [04:54] no [04:54] i think mac supprts easy install as windows [04:54] thats not what i want [04:54] gui: Mac OS X is based on FreeBSD [04:55] the tremulous opens then quits but i never see a window [04:55] cactusfrog, ps aux | grep -i "PROGRAM_NAME" .... [04:55] gui, there' synaptic (and other package managers) that make installing things just as easy (different, but just as easy) [04:55] basically every popular decant OS is Unix in some shape or the other, and then we got Windows hum [04:55] it happed to me with pidgen [04:55] sebastien_, That's not true. Only a small part of the FBSD kernel was used. [04:56] spinkmeier: so this synaptic manages which extensions? [04:56] OMFG! this is driving me crazy i am sorry that i am rude or what ever but i just need one simple code thats it how do i find a programs id number!!!!!!!!!!! [04:56] SomePriest: well it's still known as Unix under the hood [04:56] when i push code to github and pull down a clone, how do i update the clone to latest revision on github? [04:56] cactusfrog: ps aux | grep programname [04:56] sebastien_, heh, Linux isn't even "Unix" under the hood :) [04:56] !volunter | cactusfrog [04:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about volunter [04:56] thanks [04:56] thats all i needed [04:56] cactusfrog, I sent you the same command about 4 mins ago :) [04:56] cactusfrog: don't use gods name in vein or you might go to hell :D [04:57] ya well [04:57] using linux is hell [04:57] sebsebseb, or be reborn as a lower life-form (MCSE?) [04:57] bye [04:57] sprinkmeier: heh [04:57] i've seen somebody before showing off his linux capabilities and on his pc there was a console as a background displaying commands equivalent to everything he did from the gui, anybody know how he does this? [04:58] gui: no, but sounds interesting [04:58] yes i was so fasinated since he could learn alot from that process [04:58] wow [04:58] gui, history | tail -f ? [04:58] how big does an image have to be for gwenview to take up 98% of my cpu? [04:58] sprinkmeier: sadly it seems I might be able to get a more well paid job if I was a MCSE then if I had LPI [04:59] gui, some programs (like devede) send info like that to stdout, so if you start them from a terminal you'd get the same effect. If there's a way to do this in general I don't know what it is, but it sounds cool! [04:59] that's what i was thinking [04:59] sixofour: I think that's probably a shitty buggy gnome app to be honest :d [04:59] simple stdout [04:59] sixofour: well eye of gnome is [04:59] but it wasn't a console actually it was a background [04:59] could've just been fullscreened without toolbars [04:59] like commands going up the screen in the background [04:59] gwenview is bnome?..i'm on kde [05:00] sebsebseb, get an RHCE. might not be technically superior than LPI but better commercial recognition, therefore more $$$ [05:00] gnome* [05:00] sixofour: not sure if it's gnome [05:00] sebsebseb: If you get passed over for having an LPI instead of MCSE, you dont want the job. [05:00] lol the images are 5266x7000 [05:00] and there is 200 of them [05:00] no shit my stuff is slow [05:00] I am from UK, this countrey is way to locked into Microsoft, so I wonder where I could go here, with a LPI. [05:00] gui: you can use conky to do that. [05:00] [- OS Uptime: 4h 2m 15s -] [05:01] is that supported under ubuntu? [05:01] gui yes it is [05:01] you can actually create a "transparent" profile that looks as though it's just running out of thin air on top of your background [05:01] using the gnome terminal, that is [05:01] seb: I run an MS shop, but I hire people based on their resume and resort to certs only as a tie breaker. [05:02] sprinkmeier: it seems LPI can be done at home, and then go some where for exams, but what about RHCE. also I got a feeling RHCE might be USA only [05:02] sebsebseb: you hav LPI(C)-1? or do you mean something other? [05:02] DIFH-iceroot: no I mean I am considering doing LP1 Level 1 [05:02] linux professional i..... certificate level 1 [05:02] sebsebseb, RHCE is world-wide as far as I know. I believe it's like MCSE (i.e. study-test for $$$), but you should be able to book in for only the test [05:03] tail -f /var/log/X11/* will that do the same? [05:03] gui, probably not, all it will tell you is what X thinks about the requests it's getting from the various programs running, not what those programs are or their parameters. [05:04] zonyl: so experience and stuff in the CV? not so much about qualifiations? [05:04] what is the most agressive scan that you can do of an IP? I need to test our work connection [05:04] DIFH-iceroot: I don't have a good qualification in computing, and so LPI [05:05] sebsebseb, different orgs use CV's in different ways. Some do a buzzword-compliance check as first filter (in which case RHCE/MCSE is essential), some look for other stuff first. YMMV [05:05] hi there [05:05] YMMV???? [05:05] is it possible to get suse like menu here in ubuntu ? [05:05] what is the most agressive scan that you can do of an IP? I need to test our work connection [05:05] jeeves, nmap? saint? pingflood? [05:05] how do i uninstall software i built? [05:05] sprinkmeier, I've tried nmap, and it's not reporting anything open [05:06] sebsebseb: hm ok, i was think about doing lpi-1 because i have to get a new job and so i am searching for a good linux-quailification [05:06] jeeves, then maybe... nothing is open? [05:06] DIFH-iceroot: Linux in UK, I guess it's servers, and that's about it really [05:06] seb: Never. I look at resumes to bring people in and interview. Certs only break ties and very rarely do I resort to that. MCP MCTS is so easily gotten, it only shows someone can $$ for the transcender and is usually meaningless. I would rather have someone have experience with iptables than someone who knows how to point click MS ADS configuration. [05:06] sprinkmeier, would it just be "nmap -vPN "? [05:06] sebsebseb: ok, i have to look in germany :) [05:06] Is the RHCE very hard? I think there were 4 (?) tests? I finished the demo of the first and did very well. The second I did ok on, I think it was networking? But I've read O'Reilly's DNS/BIND since then. [05:07] DIFH-iceroot: oh your German [05:07] jeeves, nmap has _many_ options, consider getting nmap-fe (GUI front-end for nmapo). BEWARE, nmap scans (esp. aggressive ones) can be interpreted as attacks and can GET PEOPLE FIRED! get WRITTEN PERMISSION first! [05:07] seb: implementation can be googled, understanding the underlying tech cannot. [05:07] anyone here familiar with awesome window manager, i need some guidance in setting up a theme and icons - i'm using 3.x btw [05:08] zonyl: MS shop, so you don't even do Linux stuff? it's all about Windows? [05:08] hey all! [05:08] brightjoker: hello [05:08] sprinkmeier, I'm the lead I.T. tech, and the owner is sitting here watching the hockey game with me! LOL [05:09] seb: Sadly yes. MS gives us so much $$$ in licensing and support we would be hard pressed to challenge that. [05:09] zonyl: who are your customers? [05:09] anyone know the best way to improve signal strength between a use wireless adapter and the router? they are in the same room yet the usb only shows a 20% signal [05:09] is there a gui for lvm in intrepid? [05:09] jeeves, still... it it's an external scan the ISP's cen get their nickers in a knot (esp. if you mess up the IP range and scan someone else :-) I'd recommend a simple "nmap TARGET_IP" first, then "man nmap" or get nmap-fe [05:10] We are a web bases SAS company. Kinda B2B oriented. [05:10] sebsebseb, zonyl: probably better for #ubuntu-offtopic [05:10] tritium: heh I knew that would be coming [05:10] silve3r_moon: "sudo apt-get install gnome-main-menu" pretty sure thats similar to the suse one [05:10] seb: Well I was giving credence to the LPI ;) [05:10] sebsebseb: ;) [05:11] sprinkmeier, the ISP is allready on our S-list, so we don't really care [05:11] zonyl: yeah I would rather not work with MS :) and I can't be bothered to join offtopic so I guess we are done [05:12] if i used ubuntu 8.10 and wanted to upgrade to 9.0.4 later will that mess up my configuration and save stuff? [05:12] jeeves, in that case, "nmap -T insane -p - TARGET_ADDRESS" :-) [05:12] zonyl: unless you wanted to pm, but don't see much point in that either [05:12] gui: no. [05:12] gui: your new to Linux [05:12] gui: in a vm uhmmmmm I guess it's ok [05:12] gui: I mean you would keep data on your XP host I expect === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ [05:13] bright: Can you "tweak" the power level of the router? [05:13] sprinkmeier, it's coming back recomending I try -PN [05:13] no not in a vm i mean in my hd for real [05:13] hello...ubujntu fans [05:13] gui: don't upgrade to 9.04 [05:13] Installed Ubuntu for the first time today (I have years experience with Fedora, Debian, etc). The installer asked for my language, timezone, allowed me to edit partitions, but on stop 5 when I hit next it booted from the DVD, and didn't install or ever write the partitions I chose in the previous step. [05:13] its a linksys, i dont believe so, i can mess with the channels and frequency but pretty sure thats all zonyl [05:13] gui: untill final release [05:14] i'm in kubuntu but i want to use ubuntu's update manager, [05:14] gui: your new you shoudn't do 9.04 untill final as a result [05:14] jeeves, from man: "-PN: Treat all hosts as online -- skip host discovery" looks like ICMP-PING is being blocked. [05:14] gui: jaunty is not currently supported. Please don't upgrade now while it's still alpha. [05:14] so i removed adept and kpackagekit. [05:14] so which is the latest stable release again? [05:14] 8.10 [05:14] gui: 8.10 [05:14] sprinkmeier, lol, looks like it worked then [05:14] Anyone used quickccccam or quickcam2 to make a webcam work? re: dell xps integrated webca [05:14] but synaptic update manager does not automatically check for updates nor show a tray icon when there is updates [05:14] none one here uses awesome window manager? [05:14] ;( [05:14] how to run synaptic update manager at startup? [05:14] brightjoker: You may want to check out dd-wrt: http://www.dd-wrt.com Flash that on there and bump the power in its settings [05:14] what's its command line in ubuntu? [05:14] mythomaniac: I have, but I never understood what was so awsome about it [05:14] mythomaniac, ive used it.. and i dont see the point.. read its docs if you want to use it.. [05:14] mythomaniac: in my case it was like wtf how I use [05:15] mythomaniac: I use an awesome WM.. it's called compiz [05:15] mythomaniac, the archlinux wiki page also covers it in details [05:15] mythomaniac, I use AN awesome window manager. [05:15] lol you guys putting down awesome have no idea the power it has [05:15] Can anyone verify that Lyra Virus is a real computer virus/other malware or that it doesn't exist? [05:15] lamers [05:15] mythomaniac, i did use it.. and it does not suite my needs [05:15] I will stick with jwm [05:16] mythomaniac: it's all a matter of personal opinion and taste. Please don't start a flamewar. [05:16] Athenon, What did google.com say? [05:16] can you explain lyra virus? cause i was to believe there were no linux viruses unless this is a first serious one... [05:16] SomePriest: doesnt....seem like it...but i didnt do an UBERLY thorough search? [05:16] tritium, umm i'm not flaming man, just seems sad that people attack it because they think its not useful to them [05:16] I recall there WAS a Red-Hat based virus that affected Apache some years ago. But that was over 10 years ago. [05:17] its not usefull to me.. thsats what i said.. [05:17] mythomaniac: nobody is attacking it. === andyh2|away is now known as andyh2 [05:17] Can anyone recommend a good ftp client for linux that is gui based I need to be able to SSH into my ipod touch :s [05:18] Athenon: your not on WIndows, and there aren't really any viruses for LInux as such [05:18] man if this is the future of the lunix community - wow i pity your lives [05:18] gRunt, Filezilla now has a Linux port. [05:18] gRunt: nautilus works. [05:18] gRunt: gftp? [05:18] gRunt: places-> connect to server [05:18] !ftp [05:18] FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for !Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [05:18] didnt that redhat virus only last a few hours though? [05:18] brightjoker, No idea, don't think so. [05:18] how do I install the latest version of eclipse? [05:18] brightjoker: Any OS can have viruses. I believe Linux dodges this issue because users are a bit more sophisticated plus you dont generally run as root unless you really need to. There have been a number of worms affecting various base packages for *nix throughout the years though. [05:19] thefeds, The absolute latest? Grab the binary from their website...? [05:19] did anybody know a good howto to restore deletet files from filesystem? i can see the delete folder with autospy but i don't know i can recover it. [05:19] isn't that bad? [05:19] zonyl, brightjoker morris worm anyone ? :-) [05:19] you're supposed to use apt-get right [05:19] zeitsofa, FS? [05:19] thefeds: yes, but you asked for the latest [05:19] haha im sorry to bug yall im high and am looking for just chat any suggestions of rooms for good general chat or anyone down for some convo [05:19] thefeds, Define bad. It avoids the package manager, but its not "bad" per se. [05:19] sprinkmeier: ext3 [05:19] [05:19] musikgoat|main, wow linux has everything! will try thanks, thanks guys sorry for the stupid questions still learning.....getting there pretty fast though :) [05:19] morris worm? [05:19] [05:19] Can anyone help me to get an integrated webcam on a Dell XPS laptop to work? [05:19] thefeds, I think ubuntu has a backports mirror too. [05:20] ! webcam | Tamnakz [05:20] Tamnakz: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [05:20] what is backports? [05:20] thefeds, But backports seems rather shallow for ubuntu. [05:20] gRunt: all in fancy little packages :-P [05:20] ubpttu. neither of those help [05:20] zeitsofa, you're SOL.... part of the journalling/recovery mandates that deleted inodes get wiped (or somesuch). Ran into this a few years ago, the only solution was to groves through a bit-dump and look for the files manually. There was an experimental ext3 undelete but it didn't work. Backups? [05:20] thefeds, It backports newer binaries to older systems (someone compiled new versions of software against previously released libs) [05:21] How can I uninstall Xubuntu?!! [05:21] !puregnome [05:21] 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 » [05:21] I need some help I have a Canon MultiPASS F30 and I cant find the drivers for Ubuntu [05:21] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Worm [05:21] ok ok im sorry [05:21] sprinkmeier: I have had *nix machines exploited, tcpsniffed, and wormed, but never had someone run an unknown binary as root ;) [05:21] but booo discrimination! [05:21] InternetWorms [05:21] is that like what ya get in ya ass [05:22] brightjoker: there was none [05:22] but no more from me i promise at least on the offense [05:22] zonyl, I guess you're not running sendmail then :-) [05:22] !ot | brightjoker [05:22] brightjoker: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:22] manmanman77: stay on appropriate topic, please [05:23] sprinkmeier: ;) [05:23] How do I uninstall eclipse? [05:23] I installed it with add/remove [05:23] sprinkmeier: it was backup device :/ i did a dd from the partition, and i run foremost and autospy did show me the needed folders. so i think theres a way to restore the files. i don't want to send the device to dada restore center, because it is very expensive. [05:23] sudo apt-get remove eclipse [05:23] thefeds: same way [05:23] Bah, wish you could resize video in Skype like you can on Windows (in windows resizing the window resizes the video) [05:23] One or more applications depend on eclipse. To remove eclipse and the dependent applications, use the Synaptic package manager. [05:23] Cannot remove 'eclipse' [05:24] anyone know? [05:24] hi there [05:24] thefeds: Was this in terminal or Add/Remove? [05:24] add/remove [05:24] in gnome the icons have their whole caption displayed.. how to make them display only 2 lines and then dot dot [05:25] How caan I remove xfce?@ [05:25] sudo apt-get remove xfce* ? [05:26] Thanks very much! [05:26] i was going to do a dual boot in my new labtop like windows and ubuntu and save all my stuff on a fat32 partition that both OS's can talk to. is that agood idea and will ubuntu be able to control all permissions correctly with fat32 directories? [05:26] thefeds: try... Applications - Accessories - Terminal, then when your in the terminal do, "sudo apt-get remove eclipse" no quotes. [05:26] zeitsofa, if you can DD the entire device then maybe you can send the image to the recovery place. [05:26] gui: fat32 lol. Ubuntu can read and write to NTFS. and you can get a driver for Windows so that it can read and write to Ext3 [05:26] Does anyone know how I can get my Canon MultiPASS F30 to work with Ubuntu [05:27] but i think fat32 is fine too isn't it? [05:27] gui: Fat32 sucks [05:27] gui, fat does not have permissions (well, nothing other then RHSA) [05:27] Hi guys; I'm doing an install off -alternate and grub isn't installing because it's trying to hit the wrong drive. Once I drop into ash, how can I install grub on a different target? [05:28] so you think that ntfs is better that fat32? [05:28] I've just moved my system from straight partitions to LVM; what do I need to do to make my system bootable? I know I need to edit fstab and grub, do I need to create a new kernel or initramfs? [05:28] gui, for running windows, yes. [05:28] ubuntu is freezng on me while viewing streaming movies online.. what might be the problem [05:28] Scarra3: Dont know if this helps. http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-MultiPASS_F30 [05:28] I cantb get quark music player to play anything and was wondering about the compiz window manager plugin and what to grab on the no focus part to make all windows not take focus when opened? [05:29] ah I learned how to get rid of packages that aren't being used by anything [05:30] sudo apt-get autoremove [05:30] sprinkmeier: i did a dd. i used it with autospy :) what did you mean with recovery place? [05:30] hi, i just installed ubuntu 7.10 and i can't firefox in it [05:30] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [05:30] even though it seems like my wireless connects [05:30] zeitsofa, i meant the data recovery mob you mentioned. [05:30] Zonyl lol I have no clue im new to ubuntu [05:31] so It's not evil installing something without using apt-get? [05:31] when I used red hat, I was scolded for not using RPMs [05:31] like I can install .tar.gzs? [05:31] thefeds: no, it's evil [05:32] How can I tell if I have 32 or 64bit installed? [05:32] Tamnakz: uname -m [05:32] jrib, can you explain more? [05:32] whould I just install the tar.gz eclipse/ [05:32] or is that a bad idea [05:32] Tamnakz: not sure what to explain. You just run that command [05:32] screw up dependencies? [05:32] Tamnakz: you need to go into a terminal [05:32] thefeds: eclipse is in the repositories [05:32] thefeds, using the distro's package manager mages management/maintenance easier (applying patches, knowing what's installed ...) it's preferred by most places, but by no means mandatory. [05:33] /set neat_colors rgybcw [05:33] and in terminal just type '-m' [05:33] Scarra3: It would appear that support for that printer is sketchy based on that page. I have long ago gotten into the habbit of checking out what works before buying nowadays. Someone referred me to a good resource this morning http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw [05:33] add-remove has eclipse 3.2, latest is 3.4.2 [05:33] Tamnakz: no... « uname -m » [05:33] I want 3.4.2, and the C++ version [05:33] !latest | thefeds [05:33] thefeds: 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. [05:33] thefeds: then you have no choice but to go around the package manager [05:33] returns with i686 [05:34] Tamnakz: 32bit [05:34] alright [05:34] !backports [05:34] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [05:34] thanks jrib! [05:35] I just installed ubuntu 7.10 and for some reason firefox doesn't work [05:35] It seems to connect to my wireless point and i've pinged google [05:35] which worked [05:36] can anyone help me? [05:36] Myztikal_: Is it just firefox? Have you tried "konqueror" or something else? [05:36] libQtGui.so.4 I was wondering where to find this file. [05:36] Myztikal_: 7.10 no longer suppourted upgrade [05:36] Could I find on the CD itself or? [05:36] well i download 8.10 but it didn't boot when i changed drive [05:36] changed boot drive* [05:37] why the hell does ubuntu have 3.2? 3.4.2 is stable enough. [05:37] for eclipse [05:37] if not, stable [05:37] that's like 2 years olfd [05:37] thefeds: Ubuntu only does security updates, newer versions of programs in next release [05:37] thefeds: there might be a ppa for a later eclipse though [05:37] !ppa [05:37] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [05:37] stability is why [05:38] so when 9.4 comes out, will it use eclipse 3.4.2? [05:38] or < [05:39] thefeds, you can install a more recent version if you wish [05:39] thefeds: check it out, if it isn't you can suggest they do. [05:39] thefeds: More than likely someone maintains a deb/repo for it that you can used instead that is probably newer. I would imagine seeing as Eclipse and Ubuntu is so popular. [05:40] how do I install 3.4.2 now? [05:40] how can I parse an apache log file to show how many accesses each DNS name came from and on what day? [05:40] thefeds: install it manually [05:40] I don't see it in backports [05:40] I have a usb device that prevents lsusb from displaying any out put when I plug it in. Is there any log I can look at to see what is going on? [05:41] who is the mascot for ubuntu? [05:41] all I see is the hugging thing [05:41] Nalf, tail /var/log/messages [05:41] such a hippie OS [05:41] LOL [05:41] thefeds, as far as I know, it's just that circle [05:41] thefeds: there is no mascot iirc [05:41] Nalf, or dmesg [05:41] Peace man, share the love [05:42] nomasteryoda, alright, thank you. The device is a linksys wusb54gs and if I plug it in it actually PREVENTs me from booting into ubuntu. [05:42] can anyone tell me where can I find files such as "libQtGui.so.4"? [05:42] nice Nalf [05:42] what about when you're in Ubuntu? [05:42] nomasteryoda: Also.. might you know how to disable bluetooth? [05:43] hi all [05:43] Mainly for the Upek finger sensor library [05:43] nomasteryoda, when I plug it in I notice nothing.. except I can't lsusb.. and it doesn't work to connect me to the internet. :\ [05:43] KittyKat: /usr/lib, if the proper package is installed [05:43] how I change of "Sun Mar 15 01:38:53 EDT 2009" to "Sun Mar 15 01:38:53 BRT 2009" ? I try set in tzselect and set ok to brazil location, but still are EDT. [05:43] Nalf, you can turn it off temporarily with "sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop" [05:43] Nalf, I believe that is a card requiring Ndiswrapper [05:44] nomasteryoda, from what I can see when I have the wusb plugged in the computer hangs at starting bluetooth. I saw a thread on the forums that '8.10 works with it right out of the box.' Fail, apparently.:P [05:44] hi, is it possible to know the size of an app? let's say firefox [05:44] anyone on this parsing issue? [05:44] tritium: it's telling me to install the missing libraries, though I dont know where to get them from . [05:44] Nalf, check those logs [05:44] nomasteryoda, Will do.. booting into ubuntu.. be back shortly. [05:44] J_P, tzselect will only tell you which environment variable to set for the shell you're in. Use the GUI tool (system->admin->time and date) to change the system default timezone [05:44] look for anything weird === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [05:45] quit [05:45] KittyKat: best guess is libqtgui4 package [05:45] dsdeiz, in synaptic, look for column visibility options. one of them should be installed size [05:45] A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) [05:45] must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine [05:45] was found after searching the following locations: [05:45] /home/thefeds/Desktop/eclipse/jre/bin/java [05:45] java in your current PATH [05:45] thefeds: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:45] sprinkmeier: I don't have GUI, how is possible to do this via command line ? [05:46] !java | thefeds [05:46] thefeds: 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 [05:47] jeeves: I know you asked a while ago, but #apache is probably better able to answer your question [05:48] sprinkmeier: you know ? [05:48] hey guys, i'm having a problem here. mpdscribble is telling me that i can't load libmpd.so.0, but mpd is working right now, so i'm guessing it's installed and working. synaptic says it's working, at least. only problem is that mpdscribble isn't telling me where it's looking for libmpd.so.0 so i can't go off making any symlinks or anything. ideas? [05:48] Thanks, tritium [05:48] should I install sun java or gcj java? [05:48] J_P, /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime are modified by the GUI tool. one contains a simple string, one is a copy of the relevant zone info file (can't remember where others are kept ATM). I don't know where else info is kept. maybe dkpg --reconfigure ???? [05:48] mjec-not-laptop, ok, thanks [05:49] sprinkmeier: yeh. wi will try dpkg --reconfigure tzselect [05:49] DIFH-iceroot, Ya, Vlc, same thing. Very grainy, and quite slow (like its dropping frames) === mafsi_away is now known as mafsi [05:50] crabgrass, install libmpd0 [05:50] J_P, the timezone files are in /usr/share/zoneinfo/. The relevant one is copied to /etc for libc to use. [05:50] TuTUXG: it is installed. that's my problem. [05:51] crabgrass, that file should be located under /usr/lib/ [05:52] Why does ubuntu have a package for cvsbook-ja but not in english? [05:52] TuTUXG: ah, i see. had to make a symlink. thanks for the assisst. [05:52] DIFH-iceroot, Granted, the 2D rendering on the desktop is bloody awful too :) [05:52] aw hell, now it's dying with "fatal: cannot find configuration file" [05:53] J_P, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime#Using the Command Line(terminal) [05:53] sprinkmeier: yeh i get timezone using tzselect and copy it to /etc/timezone and works fine ;-) [05:54] J_P, the above link says to run "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata". Seems to work here (8.04) [05:55] TEST [05:55] sprinkmeier: humm really! That i think work too [05:55] sprinkmeier: thanks [05:57] can someone remind me of the name of the software that allows you to script the gnome/X gui, i.e. automate mouse clicks and such? [05:58] at some point i actually installed it but i can't remember the name and apt-cache search isn't helping me [05:58] you'd use it, for example, to automatically system test software [05:59] akin to autoit for windows [05:59] ah, it was xnee, thanks anyway [06:00] how do i copy colours with text on irssi? [06:00] seems like an obvious function to have [06:00] I have /boot on a seperate partition; I've set groot in grub's menu.list, but grub can't find the kernel etc since it's looking for /boot/vmlinuz... in the boot partition rather than just /vmlinuz... - is there a way to configure the automagic kernels thing to not prepend /boot to the kernel path? [06:00] lol [06:04] askvictor, ive seen the trick done befor where you have a link in the /boot/ partition that links /boot/ to .. (i think) that way /boot/ is actually the / of the boot partiotion :) [06:04] how can i install poweriso [06:05] kernel09l, wine powerisoinstaller.exe [06:05] dr_willis, so i've to install wine first then [06:05] kernel09l, logically.. yes. [06:05] :) [06:06] then can you pls. point me to install wine first [06:06] thanks [06:06] its in the package maanger [06:06] or use the latest from the winehq repos [06:06] !wine [06:06] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help [06:07] Hi, anyone know application to detect hotspot source (like radar)? [06:07] Hey guys. I mounted up my NTFS partition, opened gparted, unmounted it.. and can't mount it or boot windows. I know I didn't nuke it cause windows will partially boot.. is there any nifty app on the repos to save my stuff? [06:07] if i am on a remote server via ssh whats the best way to pull files from my machine to that remote server? [06:08] stewart_: try scp. man scp for usage [06:08] is there a way i can use poweriso without installing wine or extracting .daa files [06:09] * Nalf mutters [06:10] kernel09l: do you have the linux version of poweriso? [06:11] doleyb: yes [06:11] kernel09l: Um, maybe you need to get http://poweriso.com/poweriso-1.2.tar.gz [06:12] doleyb: yes i did get it but doesn't work. [06:12] if i am on my server do i need to know the ip address of my localmachine to pull files from it? Is there a way for the command to pickup that its the machine that has the incoming ssh command? [06:12] kernel09l: oh... [06:12] all via scp [06:12] doleyb: i just need to extract .daa files [06:13] kernel09l: so how does poweriso fail to do that? [06:13] this is getting ridiculus [06:13] Ive reinstalled Ubuntu three times today [06:13] stewart_: I think the answer is no [06:13] stewart_, sort of... you could set up a reverse tunnel, then scp to/from ::1 (localhost) [06:14] stewart_: I usually just scp from the machine itself... otherwise you can do a reverse tunnel [06:14] doleyb: when i run it, states: unrecognized parmater [06:14] Is there a bash client for downloading torrents? I used to have one on my old fedora box, can't remember what it was called for the life of me. I know it's not rtorrent... that's about it. [06:14] kernel09l: well what did you run it with? [06:14] Ive actually made a aptonnCD disk :| [06:14] how do i get line-in audio to play out my speakers?? [06:15] doleyb: i ran "./poweriso filename.daa" [06:15] Hey guys -- I know this is an almost religious question, but ext2/3 for home use? [06:16] kernel09l: tryp ./poweriso list filename.daa [06:16] joetheodd: ext3 [06:16] doleyb, thanks. [06:16] joetheodd, not much reason to not use ext3 [06:16] joetheodd, ext3. it;s ext2 with journalling, so you really save on fsck on bootup. [06:17] how do i get my line-in to play through my speakers????????? [06:17] doleyb: bad parameter: list [06:18] kernel09l: ok then, ./poweriso list filename.daa / -r [06:18] Is there a bash client for downloading torrents? I used to have one on my old fedora box, can't remember what it was called for the life of me. I know it's not rtorrent... that's about it. [06:19] kernel09l: and I think you later want ./poweriso extract filename.daa / -od /tmp [06:20] Azharn: btdownloadcurses [06:20] Is that the package name? [06:20] can i make an alias that accepts an argument/param? [06:20] Azharn: get package either bittorrent or bittornado [06:20] doleyb: file version mismatch. [06:21] can i make an alias that accepts an argument/param? e.g., $ my_alias blah would result in: cd path/to/blah [06:21] ... [06:22] smotchkkiss, if in bash, use a function [06:22] sprinkmeier: i am in bash. how do make a function? [06:22] kernel09l: well idk what to do about the version problem. Maybe that version of poweriso is old and you should get a newer one. Maybe your daa is corrupted. Maybe you should try acetoneteam.org instead [06:23] smotchkkiss, been a while... give me a few minutes.

[06:48] I am familiar with linux but new to ubuntu. I have just installed it on my desktop computer and I am impressed with how user friendly it is; however, I can't get ubuntu to mount a cd or dvd. It just says that there is "no media found". (Yes, I have a disk in the drive.) I have googled the issue and it seems to be a common problem, but I could not find the solution on any of the pages I read. Thx. [06:48] dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg <- I think [06:48] I don't know what any devices are at the moment [06:48] backup your xorg first [06:48] Hmm [06:48] What device are you looking for?

SATA? should it be /dev/sda? [06:50] Ok, so "Mount" on its own will spit out a list of devices? [06:50] are you supposed to just use by saying try without doing anything to system?

[06:54] I have no choice but to leave the thing as is until I can find the solution [06:54] anatashinu, OK, try the 'live' option (i.e. try it without installing). Note that, onse started, you can actually mount/mess up the existing partitions if you try hardenough :-) [06:54] It is a doel boot system [06:54] hai everyone [06:54] still [06:54] ok [06:54] 6?

[06:58] mmk [06:58] chronographer: it just show me my two cd drives, and the filesystem *from the livecd* [06:58] check in gparted [06:58] You have to mount the local HD [06:59] Lol [06:59] mount -l -t type [06:59] Try that [06:59] shout show it all including file systems [06:59] Can someone see if they know anything about http://pastebin.com/m74ef2d30 ? [06:59] then why include -t type? [06:59] If you want to search for a specific type [07:00] I would geuss you would look for raw [07:00] Since it is a dual boot [07:00] Ndshacker: who are you talking to? put their name infront of it. [07:00] fieldse: oh, is there simpler way?? [07:00] Sugi: ok, sorry [07:00] fikr Not sure! Would like to know if you find out though... [07:00] Ndshacker: no probelm at all :D it sounds like your helping me :p [07:00] Alex: when in doubt of a command type man in front of it :) [07:00] Ok, Thanks [07:01] Lol [07:01] np [07:01] I'll have to wait as I said [07:01] fikr there usually is, but finding it sometimes can be more trouble than never knowing, lol [07:01] chronographer: wow, i think my harddrive got toasted. ubuntu isn't picking it up. [07:01] Alex: Well, better to have a "battle plan" [07:01] not in gparted? not in fdisk -l ?? [07:02] Sugi: YOur main HDD? [07:02] chronographer: will do, thanks fo the tip [07:02] Yes, too true. Lol. Why not include TTS on the Sheel durring install? [07:02] Ndshacker: yea, my main harddrive. it's not being picked up at all. let me see if my bios can even see it [07:03] If not, try other disk utilites [07:03] Mac uses weird partitions I just messed up an old apple laptop a couple of days ago. [07:03] Sugi: Once I had a HDD that even the windows installer wouldnt catch, but a bottable partitioner did [07:04] Lol, too true [07:04] MatthewMPP: i have been having issues trying to install osx86 lately, usually partition crap. cant boot after install! [07:04] I wish it wasn't an old-world Mac [07:04] Thats the only type of OS ive never tried :\ OSX [07:04] I had the same problem. I eventually gave up on it. [07:04] It is the best [07:05] Except I cant run it [07:05] The same problem as who?

[07:06] Fly: go to a flash website and tell it to install [07:06] Thanks all for the help [07:06] Good night [07:06] Night [07:06] Ndshacker: i have two pcs. one for linux and one for windows. my windows computer is a lot older then my linux one. so you can guess i use my linux one more. this is problem the main issue, but i don't really keep my window's computer up to date including hte anti-virus software. i put a file on my comptuer and explorer.exe crahed on me. and kept on crashing. [07:06] Sugi: That sucks [07:07] I could not reboot the apple laptop after installing Debian on it. It sees the "yaboot" and gives me a command prompt but thats all it does. [07:07] Ndshacker: so i pop in my linux disc to see if it can see my harddrive. because windows wasn't picking it up. so i think the window's partiton is trashed. i doubt my hdd is trashed, but man. this virus is doing something in [07:07] Sugi: May I reccomend reformating the whole thing? [07:08] Ndshacker, A later version is available in a software channel. should i get the one from adobe website or the one in my software channel? [07:08] ;;;;;; [07:08] Fly: Software Channel if you can [07:08] hi there. Lets say i have a public IP adress and a domain name, I wish to host myself that domain name. How to do that? I was trying to change the nameservers to my IP but this doen't work. [07:08] Eh? [07:09] b4chip: are you asking about hosting a wbsite on your Pc? [07:09] Ndshacker: yes [07:09] b4chip: do you understand the risks? [07:09] Ndshacker: do u know how to do it? [07:09] Ndshacker: oh im going to. ii was having some issues on it before, but like i said, my window's computer is not at the toip of my to-do list. so i let a lot of things go. I have nothign important on my MAIN harddrive expect for ONE document. Hahahah and i kid you not. everythign of importance is on my second hdd for the time being is unplugged. just incase. if possible I NEED that one document. hahhaha im on a conquest [07:10] guys how can I disable my COmpiz in Terminal? [07:10] Sugi [07:10] There are ways to get it back: [07:10] Ndshacker: yes sir? [07:11] Once you can see it, format it but dont reinstall, plug it in to your pc as a secondary, and use a recovery program [07:11] b4chip: Yes I know how to do it [07:11] Sugi: It is imperative you dont put anything on it once you get it formatted [07:11] I'm looking for a PCI wifi card that will work without much hackery in Ubuntu 8.04, any help please? I'd like to stay with linksys [07:11] Ndshacker: oh i know. if i need to i can use data recover programs. but I have to say i wasn't planning on spending the rest of my weeken fixing my crapping window's partition [07:12] :D [07:12] format it? [07:12] why that? [07:12] Eh? [07:12] Ndshacker: im thinking about dbanning the partition after getting that file. have you hard of this? [07:12] Because he has a dterimental virus [07:12] oh i see [07:12] Sugi: I cant say I have, sorry, im only 14 after all :) [07:13] Ndshacker: hahah you should look into. im pretty sure it's unix based. but please for the love of everything holy, don't hold me to it. [07:14] Sugi: From what I see on google, wait until after you get the file back. It looks like its a massive type of Data Eraser :s [07:14] 1122222 [07:14] And after a good Gutman, you aint getting that file back [07:14] sugi [07:15] sugi: your issue: you have virus took out windows pc, you want to recover 1 file but don't want to spend weekend on it, right? [07:15] Ndshacker: yes it is. it's very good for makign sure those nasty virus won't come back. if anythign a reformat, which I have never had the personal of having one. this being my second virus of reasonable damage [07:15] fieldse: yes sir [07:16] hello all [07:16] Sugi: Considering Linux's virus capabilities, I think You can risk plugging it in BEFORE Dbanning it [07:16] hi guys [07:16] but back up all your files just incase [07:16] i'm trying to compile but i get [07:16] checking for gcc... gcc [07:16] checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no [07:16] configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

[07:17] @sugi - I had to recover fragged XP install, which is how I got into linux (this month). I got a ubuntu recovery disk, had ALL kinds of goodies, so I was able to back up files [07:17] i would like to address everyone on this matter, i am sorry for my poor english and grammer issues. let me know if i am unclear on specialize topic [07:17] Can I get some technical help from someone please? [07:17] can some one explain to me the difference between owner, group & users fields within the permissions field for a given file/folder? [07:17] Sugi: I hadnt even noticed, honestly [07:17] I to need help [07:18] Ndshacker: good good, i did, but if i am the only one. then thats oh kay. [07:18] ohletmeinnowjesu: whats unclear about those? [07:18] When I open sites that require flash such as youtube or pandora I get a black-gray screen instead of the vid etc. Any ideas? [07:18] @sugi - get a linux recovery disk, you should be able to boot and see your windows files, back it up onto a floppy/usb, then: format/reinstall. Shouldn't take you more than a couple hours [07:18] oh: Owner is the absolute master, you set it via command line with the chown commands, Groups are so that more than one person can have the same priveleges without setting each one manually, users are for one persons priveleges [07:19] I've got a problem with wine: when I run a program nothing happens. Here's the pastebin for running it from the command line [07:19] http://pastebin.com/d22186f0f [07:19] anyone knows any decent file hosters? [07:19] fieldse: i have recover programs on windows and trouble shooting, reformatting softwae on both windows and linux so either is fine by me. if you have any pesonal picks please share with me those goodies applications you used in ubuntu's OS [07:19] you cant set multiple user permissiions anyways [07:19] Is there a server for linux mint? lol [07:19] unless you enable acls [07:19] I'm trying to figure out why my download speeds for updating and such are super slow. Anyone have any ideas? I've checked my internet, reset the router and modem, and nothing is improving.. [07:19] which shouldnt be by default [07:19] @nephilus what version flash you using? and what browser? (firefox i assume?) [07:19] ohletmeinnowjesu: look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [07:19] @sugi sure, one sec [07:19] any one [07:19] checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no [07:19] Fieldse: firefox and the newest flash [07:19] @sugi coffee break but will find link to recovery disk [07:20] !mint | Nephilus [07:20] Nephilus: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[07:20] does anyone know why the installer for 8.10 won't see my hdd even though it boots fine and can be seen in parted magic etc [07:20] quibbler: thnx [07:20] @nephilus make sure you've got flash 10 plugin on firefox. reinstall if need be, that did it for me [07:20] Sugi: I use knoppix [07:20] fieldse: Ndshacker: about half the time, my windows computer freeeze at the logo splash screen of the bios, and the over half it loggs into windows, but then bluue screens. I have notice this same blue screen issue while trying to scan with my anti-virus apllication either in safe mode or normal user of windows [07:20] Okay I'll try that [07:21] Sugi: Get rid of that windows install, it sounds like its fubared [07:21] Anyone for me?

Tried different combinations of output devices in preferences, but still no luck. Any ideas of what to check for next? [07:23] yes [07:23] what does it do > deleting my compiz? Ndshacker [07:23] Reidy, yes. they're mirrors of the official packages. Use Synaptic properties to find/set the closest one [07:23] That will uninstall it [07:23] zapz: that will remove compiz's packages [07:23] whhhaaa... okay I'll just download it again..... [07:23] If you want to be specific :| [07:23] anyone know of a good tutorial on using SLI in Ubuntu? [07:23] zapz: it may be safer to just disable it rather than removing it complerely [07:23] *completely [07:24] I can't boot to my ubuntu since I change a settings in my compiz [07:24] hahahhahah.... whhhaaa I already did [07:24] hahaha [07:24] aha! sugi: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page [07:24] Ndshacker: fieldse: darn I have this file backed on my on linux computer, but I am unsure if it's updated. this is starting to bug me now. and my windows computer is havign some sort of heart-attacking [07:24] @ Sprinkmeier: So I just go into System > Synaptic Package Manager > ?? Then what? [07:24] fieldse: thank you sir. i am browsing it now [07:25] lstarnes in case I want to disable it... what should i do? [07:25] Reidy, settings, repositories, click on "download from" [07:25] sugi: if you have it backed up, try the link he gave you, and save that [07:25] then you can marge them if the file is corrupted [07:25] Ndshacker: fieldse: now my computer is telling me that there is now such harddrive to load the OS off of. nice [07:25] *merge [07:26] that srsly sucks [07:26] @sugi: lol! haha... yeah. Just boot up with that CD.. or hell, you don't really even need to use a recovery CD, honestly. but boot up with CD on windows machine, mount windows HD. won't take 30 mins if you're lucky [07:27] I reinstall Ubuntu in under an hour [07:27] So this should take no time at all [07:27] fieldse: this website and recover application is only directed towards GNU/UNIX base OS correct? [07:27] lstarnes in case I want to disable it... what should i do? [07:27] Hello people. I am about to install Ubuntu onto my mac mini, but the automatic partition tool didn't quite work so well so i used manual partitioning. However what partitions should i add? I have a swap partition of 4GB, now what? [07:28] Arelis, thatw ay to much swap [07:28] zapz: give me a few minutes to find that out please [07:28] Ndshacker: i have 2GB of RAM [07:28] If you have a half decent amount of ram 51 2 mb, you only need 1 gb [07:28] The nyou prob dont need any [07:28] butgo with 1 [07:28] "The size of your swap should be equal to twice your computer's physical RAM for up to 2 GB of physical RAM. For physical RAM above 2 GB, the size of your swap should be equal to the amount of physical RAM above 2 GB. The size of your swap should never less than 32 MB. " [07:28] "Using this basic formula, a system with 2 GB of physical RAM would have 4 GB of swap, while one with 3 GB of physical RAM would have 5 GB of swap. " [07:29] That is a lie [07:29] suck a horrid lie [07:29] *such [07:29] @sugi yes, directe for linux. doesn't matter... if you can boot up, you can recover your file, then reformat/reinstall. Best solution unless you have a hard drive full of important info that you have to save === egillth is now known as egillth_ [07:29] Ndshacker: Would having a too big swap partition hurt? [07:29] That is a flawed formula, if I have 8 GB of ram, I sure as hell dont need 10 Gb of swap [07:29] no [07:30] but 3 GB of extra swap is just stupid :\ [07:30] Okay, i'll just keep it 4GB then. But after the swap partition, what else do i need to add? [07:30] @sugi: You could try to recover system with antivirus, but ... why go through the effort? [07:30] A Ext3 Filesystem mounted at / [07:30] zapz: look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=574092 [07:30] What about /boot? [07:30] that will be the install partition [07:30] no need for anything else [07:30] Arelis_, the "double RAM" rule is from the time before people got too impatient to actually use swap. these days if you're using swap, get more RAM. As for other partitions, just a single / will do. More partitions than that is for servers, not laptops. [07:31] quibbler: thanks for the link, i now know how to change permissions for groups/owners...but I still dont know the difference between them [07:31] @sugi It worked enough to save my windows machine data [07:31] thanks [07:31] quibbler: how do i check the current user/group list? [07:31] Does anyone else here run SLI in Ubuntu? [07:31] ohletmeinnowjesu, run "id" [07:32] system > administration >users and groups [07:32] I want to create a /home partition. What size should / be? [07:32] fieldse: downloading it right now. hahha i didn't know there was a wget for windws base OS. i Would love that feature in my dos command prompt [07:32] sprinkmeier: Thanks [07:32] wget is an extra download :) [07:32] ok, scrollback doesn't seem to be working so sorry if someone answered this. Does anyone have an idea why I cannot see my primary hdd in the ubuntu partition tool when installing? [07:32] guys how about this I cant set my Visual effects to normal.... "it said that Desktop effects could not be enabled" [07:32] Arelis_, I wouldn't. Just make / take up all the space. add /boot if the installer thinks you should (100M should be plenty) [07:33] zapz: did you remove compiz? [07:33] yup [07:33] Arelis_: 10GB should be well enough for /, the rest for /home [07:33] O.O [07:33] zapz: you will need to reinstall compiz for that to work [07:33] Ndshacker: fieldse: darn, my bios can not see the hard drive all together. this will cause some problems [07:33] zapz: what graphics card do you have? === rootusr_ is now known as TuTUXG_ [07:33] yeah :s [07:33] sprinkmeier: 10GB.. I don't think that would be enough for all the applications [07:34] hell no [07:34] Hey! @ Everyone re: Swapfile partition not really necessary unless you're using hibernate / sleep, right? It seems a waste of a primary partition. Is there an alternative? [07:34] okay.... Im using intel.. blah graphics card [07:34] Fieldse: go with 1 gb [07:34] unless you have 4 gb or greater [07:34] fieldse: the swap partition??/ [07:34] lol @zapz [07:34] I personaly never hit swap, but my firefox is tweaked to the max :) [07:35] fieldse, You could make a swap file if you want.. but a partition is more effficient [07:35] fieldse: you think it's a waste of hard drive space if your not using a sleep funcation? is this what oyu are asking? [07:35] whhhaaaa... [07:35] at least I booted into my ubuntu [07:35] fieldse: swap partition is not for suspending during power-off. It is so a program which runs out of RAM can keep going. [07:35] so how do i chmod a certain file to be available to only a certain type of users? [07:35] Sugi: Hes asking for alternatives, [07:35] Ndshacker: how have you tweaked ur firefox? I sometimes have firefox using 300mb ram at a time! [07:35] sprinkmeier: So a /home partition would cause problems? [07:36] bn43: lol [07:36] Ndshacker: ahhhh i see. [07:36] bn43: mine uses 65 mb and runs faster than most :) [07:36] ohletmeinnowjesu you may mean chown [07:36] @sugi, dr_willis, ndshacker - I mean, I have 3 partitions already on my HD, so if I didn't have to use a partition for swapfile, it would be useful to me to have a 4th partition free [07:36] Arelis_, my / is 100G and it's half full, I do a lot of stuffing around, storing backups etc. I have a user junk partition (730G). partitioning before knowing exactly how big each partition should be will jsut ause problems later. [07:36] Ndshacker: how?? [07:36] Theres a guide [07:36] @doleyb I was reading that it was necessary for sleep function though.. is this incorrect? [07:36] sprinkmeier: Yes, but i don't have any good tools for backupping [07:36] so in installing compiz ..... I should type = Apt-get install Compiz compiz-core .... ayt? [07:36] give! [07:37] Ndshacker: fieldse: I may take a break on this, as I might be more willing to tweak and fix this issue tomorrow hahahhaha. but i am still downloading this unix base recover software and going to see if i can at least get my computer to see my hard drive. [07:37] Search google for "Speed up firefox, ABout:config" [07:37] sprinkmeier: A /home partition seems convenient to me. However, i want to keep installing applications [07:37] ohletmeinnowjesu: make the file available to the "group, [07:37] @sugi lol ... ah, yeah good luck [07:37] zapz, linux is case SeNeSeTiVe :) be sure to get the case CorrEct [07:37] Arelis_, tar and an external drive is all you need. actually, backuppc is _fantastic_, I'l look into it. [07:37] Sugi: seey a man [07:37] zapz: no, sudo apt-get install compiz [07:37] I use keep [07:37] @sugi : It will work, no worries [07:38] Ndshacker: fieldse: im not done yet. but i just letting you know i may throw the tower in soon (real soon) hahhahaha [07:38] okay [07:38] lol [07:38] hahaha [07:38] sprinkmeier: Oh, yeah, true, i DO have the tools. An external drive. I didn't use it to backup my mac, because time machine wipes the filesystem off the external drive and it's loaded full with stuff i may not delete. [07:38] ohletmeinnowjesu: user@host:/home/user$ sudo chown tux:penguins foobar [07:38] sprinkmeier: thanks :) [07:38] Arelis_, as I said, you can add a home partition, but if you guess wrong on how big it should be then you're either wasting disk-space or limiting what you can in stall or both. I don;t bother with a seperate /home these days. [07:38] skype uses more than firefox O.O [07:38] http://pastebin.com/m74ef2d30 -- my wireless usb adapter... any ideas on how to fix [07:38] installing... :D thanks to the community [07:39] how can I disable Nautilus? <---- is it necesary? [07:39] So, my download speeds have yet to improve. I've tried repository servers from my own state, and now I'm on some random one. I need any help I can get. My speeds are downloading at an average of 25-30kb/s.. [07:39] sprinkmeier: how do you backup your stuff without /home? [07:39] ouch [07:39] My internet is not the problem, it is just fine... [07:39] Ndshacker: if you disable nautilus and you use gnome, you will not be able to browse files or have a desktop background [07:39] @ndshacker, sugi - lol at "throw in the tower"... I think that's a new spin on the old phrase, but highly appropriate [07:39] Istarnes: Its worth 50 b :p [07:39] sprinkmeier: Okay. Now i have these partitions: /dev/sda1 (EFI (Mac boot partition)), /dev/sda2 (HFS+ (Mac partition)), /dev/sda3 (SWAP), /dev/sda4 (Ext3 (/)). Is this okay? And if i continue, will this overwrite my mac's MBR? [07:39] *mb [07:40] It might [07:40] macs have a mbr? [07:40] but I doubt it [07:40] i thought the efi stuff dident work that way [07:40] Ndshacker: gnome is rather notorious for being somewhat bloated (and your font confuses lowercase L with uppercase i) [07:40] Yeah :s [07:40] fieldse: im glad you got that pun, i thought it was a little corn :p [07:40] it ses more than firefox ;( === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:41] sugi lol.... wasn't sure if it was a japanification or an intention pun, but my hat's off to you [07:41] Sorry if someone answered this. Does anyone have an idea why I cannot see my primary hdd in the 8.10 partition tool when installing? The drive boots fine and shows up in 7.04 and parted magic [07:42] hello again i really need help my gcc isnt working [07:42] rideback: in what way is it not working? [07:42] Arelis_, I've never played with a max, you're on your own :-) [07:42] checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no [07:42] sprinkmeier: It seems i skipped a very important step. I need to reboot for that. Bye. (Maybe i'll be back for more support) [07:43] rideback: install build-essential [07:43] i'll try [07:43] n2diy, I use backuppc to do all my backups and occasionally copy the tarballs to an external drive [07:43] I use AptonCd once a week [07:43] so that I can reinstall at any time [07:44] sprinkmeier: have you ueed sbackup? [07:45] Anyone know how to fix my download speeds? [07:45] you can tweak some files [07:45] but I dont know if You should do that :) [07:46] n2diy, no. link? gotta go run an errand, back in a while [07:46] quibbler: ok, well heres my situation whenever I try to share a folder on my ntfs partition using rightclick-share I get this : http://pastebin.com/m6112c63b . Im wondering if [07:46] 1. I need to sudo edit the smb.conf file to allow general access (like it suggests) or [07:46] 2. "Chown" the directory to my account from root and then try re-sharing it again [07:46] Ndshacker partimage and rsync are prolly a little more practical than aptoncd, aptoncd only backs up deb packages, [07:47] :s [07:47] Probably, but I only need my Deb files [07:47] anybody know anything about running SLI video cards in Linux? [07:47] ohletmeinnowjesu depends on the dir/file what are the current permissians, [07:47] Everything else is stored on Flash Drives, or External Harddrives [07:49] koshari: rwx for root & root [07:49] sudo su [07:49] guys another....stupid question of mine, how do I start the ubuntu, when I am in terminal .... STARTX wont start the ubuntu [07:49] just go up and hit Resume :) [07:49] zapz: start xwin ? [07:50] zapz: you already have ubuntu started, just not the desktop environment. Try running sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart [07:50] what do you mean start ubuntu?zapz [07:50] start ubuntu.... I hit the ctrl+alt+f7 now I want to go back [07:51] zapz: try ctrl+alt+f1 [07:51] ohletmeinnowjesu what about groups [07:51] nothing happens.... ctrl+alt+f1 [07:51] hi people [07:51] zapz: try ctrl+alt+f7 [07:51] still in terminal mode ..... after ctrl+alt+f1 [07:52] thats it! [07:52] Ndshacker if you dont want to muck round with optical dics you can make a personal repo. [07:53] Ndshacker: are you still on within this channel? [07:53] yes [07:54] Personal repo? [07:54] koshari: ? [07:54] today i thought i can act brave and install atis drivers from the .run file they provide. bad idea. when i move my windows or scroll, i get ripples and this is some error in dmesg >> http://pastebin.com/d61571ebf any ideas are welcome [07:54] how do I do that? [07:54] Ndshacker: i think i have the most recent back of that file [07:54] great! [07:55] koshari: drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-06-02 13:44 uoastuff [07:55] !root [07:55] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [07:55] koshari: thats what I get when I ls the parent directory of the folder I wanna samba-share [07:55] Ndshacker: i think i am ready to reformat. or double check everything. [07:56] koshari: think that means owner = root, group = root & their rw perm is rwx [07:56] Hello [07:57] have fun [07:57] ohletmeinnowjesu you seem to have read write and exe permissians for root, groups and others so i cant se it being a permissians issue, [07:58] i have to reboot soon [07:58] I have a Seagate 80m hdd that came out of an HP Pavillion 734n, and it is labeled as an OEM drive. I can't get it to play with Ubuntu, it keeps crashing the installer.I like to low level format it, but the ms-dos debug commands I'm used to using, don't work in gdb, ideas? [07:59] I can click and drag a window very fast about the screen, and the redraw rate is very high. But when I scroll a fairly small webpage in firefox (using the mousewheel for instance), the scroll speed is bloody awful and a bit chuggy. What can cause this? [07:59] Is FF for Linux just nasty slow? [07:59] n2diy: can you boot up the livecd? the ubuntu livecd has gparted on it. [07:59] SomePries not here [07:59] FF on linux can be slow [07:59] koshari: right but (assuming i interpreted the ls-l o/p right that is) the only people that have rwx authorizations are 1. the owner = root 2.People in the group = root....im trying to share the folder while logged in a different account [07:59] ohletmeinnowjesu: sudo chown root:user$ foobar [07:59] Luckily we are getting Google Chrome soon [08:00] So just suck it up for a bit :) [08:00] dependeci is driving me crazy !! [08:00] Hi guys. I'm trying to set up a fileserver using samba. It's just for my home network. I'd like clients to _not_ be asked for passwords. So far, clients can see the server, but the server continues to ask for passwords. [08:00] extuser: tried that, no luck. [08:00] And idea how I can drop the password requirement ? [08:00] Ndshacker, This is on a freshly installed Ubuntu box... But its NASTY, makes me want to install Windows again. [08:00] quibbler: whats that do? [08:00] i'm installing build-essential but it has alot of dependeci [08:00] can i put username/password into a openvpn client config file [08:00] n2diy: no luck what? won't boot the livecd? [08:00] O.O that bad? [08:00] quibbler: change all ownership to my login? [08:00] so i can auto login the remote server [08:00] what can i do? [08:00] check yoour internet speed? [08:01] JackPhil, Just cache the passphrase at client-side. [08:01] rideback: install with synaptic. [08:01] Ndshacker, Me? [08:01] yes you [08:01] ohletmeinnowjesu others has read write exe permissans as well as group and owner, others is everyone else. [08:01] Ndshacker, A solid 6 Mbps [08:02] SomePriest, could you tell me how to do? [08:02] ohletmeinnowjesu effectively its been cmod 777ed [08:02] wow [08:02] n2diy how? [08:02] extuser: tried that, no luck, with gparted. [08:02] Ndshacker, But I'm talking about scrolling of pages that are downloaded. [08:02] chmod [08:02] koshari: then why cant I share it? [08:02] rideback: are you in X, or at a command line? [08:02] I would say uninstall and reinstall firefox [08:02] the problem is their in synaptic [08:02] koshari: http://pastebin.com/m63424fe4 [08:02] i've try both [08:02] But im 99% sure you cant in Linux [08:03] Ndshacker, Depends what the client machine is running. If its a Windows box, for example, you can use pageant (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html). [08:03] anyone any idea why I get a failed to mount error plugging in my usb? [08:03] ohletmeinnowjesu: foobar is the file root: is group user% is th3 user you want to have use the file [08:03] Ndshacker, I'm sure there is a *nix equiv, never had the pleasure though. [08:03] rideback: did you try apt-get? [08:03] yes [08:03] ohletmeinnowjesu: do chown --help and read [08:03] n2diy: does gparted complain? erorr message? or does it act like it's formatting without issues. [08:03] Ndshacker, Can't what in Linux? [08:04] Uninstall Firfox [08:04] Also, I note that DVD's are very grainy in VLC, but VLC plays DivX files with great clarity. [08:04] ohletmeinnowjesu: do chown --help and read if you want file & directories use chown -hR [08:05] ohletmeinnowjesu i suspect it may be a ntfs permissians thing, can you share a parent and symlink the folder from there? [08:05] extuser: I don't remember, let give it a try now. Hardy, Dapper, and I, have been arguing with this drive for two days now. [08:06] Who was it that said Linux is getting Chrome soon? I hope they're not holding their breath :) [08:06] SomePriest: have u installed ubuntu-restricted-extras? [08:06] n2diy: keep in mind that when you run gparted you can "expand" the details section of the dialog that shows when it's working. if you expand it enough you'll get the actual command line tools and parameters (and maybe errors too?) [08:06] bn43, Why? [08:07] SomePriest: installs all necessary codecs for media play [08:07] among other things [08:07] bn43, I can play DVDs, they just look grainy and slightly oversaturated. DivX files look wonderful though. [08:07] n2diy [08:08] can i post the return of command apt-get [08:08] Don't worry, Im back :) [08:08] extuser: gparted shows the drive as 74.5g, with 1.3g in use. [08:08] rideback: use pastebin [08:08] ! pastebin | rideback [08:08] rideback: 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) [08:09] n2diy: so what's the issue, you want to do a low level format of the entire drive and you can't. i lost perspective as to what the original issue is. soory. [08:09] neat [08:10] today i thought i can act brave and install atis drivers from the .run file they provide. bad idea. when i move my windows or scroll, i get ripples and this is some error in dmesg >> http://pastebin.com/d61571ebf any ideas are welcome [08:10] extuser: I can't install Ubuntu on the drive, it crashes the installer. And I'm suspect of the 1.3 gig that is in use, what is using it? [08:11] jim_p, I'm spent the last two hours playing with ubuntu's fglrx, ati's binary from their site, ati's binary from the 3rd party installer, and I think the performance of them all is bloody terrible. [08:11] ia ma having problem with my sound, there are no devices in preferences->sound. but asoundconf list gives my sound card intel. and alsactl names gives nothing [08:12] SomePriest, well i agree with it, but i cant have radeon on my 3850 [08:12] :( [08:12] n2diy: shouldn't matter. if the hdd is functioning ok, and gparted can access it, it should be able to wipe all partitions and recreate them. [08:12] Hi guys, I'm back with KDE 3 and all my problems solved! [08:12] hey hypernewbie, you were having problems with kde4? [08:12] Can anyone help me get my wg111v2 wireless dongle working? [08:12] n2diy: i have had isues with hard rives that are not getting adequate power. but that is usually with usb2ide powered hard drives and usually only with hdd's >200GB === jscinoz-m1330 is now known as jscinoz [08:13] wolter: yeh, my problem WAS kde4 ;) [08:13] hypernewbie, heh, why? why is kde3 better? (iam a gnome user) [08:13] (yes for wg111v2 i tried the ndiswrapper solution [08:13] wolter: i dont want start KDE4 bashing, so its personal preference, and not wanting KDE Vista Ultimate [08:14] SomePriest, what gpu are you on? [08:15] hi [08:15] hypernewbie, pm [08:15] extuser: ok, I'm on a desktop, so power shouldn't be an issue. In gparted, I just selected the partition, and deleted it, but, gparted isn't responding. [08:15] anyone got a oneliner for those who have apache installed, and wanna code php/mqsql ? [08:15] jim_p, x850 xt [08:15] SomePriest, you can use the radeon driver and still have 3d i think, dont complain :P [08:16] jim_p, Its the slow 2D that I'm worried about :) [08:16] SomePriest, slow in 2d? as in...? [08:16] n2diy: doesn't sound good. i'd leave it for a while.... maybe it's busy. but if it is actually locked up, then maybe there's a driver issue, or maybe the hdd itself is having errors [08:16] jim_p, Or maybe what I'm seeing is as good is can be provided under Linux. Not sure. I seem to recall Fedora was much fater. [08:17] jim_p, As in slow redrawing of text when windows are moved or scrolled. [08:17] Has anybody a conclusion on how to block these russian porn-spammers that write me everyday from 3 new numbers in pidgin??? [08:17] extuser: ok, It wiped the partition, now I'm going to create an ext3 partition. [08:17] n2diy: i'd delete all partitions and all logical volumes. [08:17] SomePriest, i have that scrolling problem in ff too [08:18] jim_p, and DVDs look terrible, but that must be the DVD decoders fault I suppose. [08:18] n2diy: is ALL partitions and logical volumes deleted (the entire hdd unallocated)? [08:18] SomePriest, dunno :( === rashire2 is now known as rashire [08:18] extuser: Yes, only on partition exsisted, and now I partitioned as ext3 [08:18] on/one === wiggles is now known as druggz [08:19] hi, there are no devices in preferences->sound. but 'asoundconf list' gives my sound card intel. and 'alsactl names' gives nothing. [08:20] How do I play MP3s on smb/computername/share/ on a local machine? When I queue remote MP3s via Konqueror smb://etc/etc/ it plays the first song and then stops. [08:20] Is there an easy way to drop to run level 3, then back to 5 (or otherwise restarting X) when changes have been made? `init` doesn't seem to exist in Ubunutu? [08:20] n2diy: ok. if i remember correct, you want to install ubuntu onto it? if so, the installer should be able to continue. [08:21] Does anyone have an idea why I cannot see my primary hdd in gparted in 8.10 when installing (desktop, alt and mint)? The drive boots fine and shows up in 7.04 and parted magic live cds. [08:21] i installed php5-mysql [08:22] extuser: yes. I've applied the changes, and it has deleted the partition, and is now finished creating the new one. And again, 1.3g is listed as in use, what the heck is using 1.3g, on a freshly partitioned drive? === daurnimas is now known as daurnimator [08:22] i ran apt-get install php5-mysql mysql-client php5 [08:22] and my php files are not being interpreted [08:23] n2diy: maybe your bios or mobo doesn't support the entire 80GB? just an idea. [08:23] druggz did you see the php conf files [08:23] Are the broadcom wifi drivers supported on 64bit or should I use 32bit? [08:23] extuser: Bios sees it as an 80g drive. I suspect I have a hidden OEM partition, that is why I want to low level format the drive. [08:23] durggz may be you have to uncoment the line which includes mysql lines [08:24] Anyone else notice that with ATI's binary drivers, VLC will play movies (DVD or DivX), but the video will be black, and only the audio is correct? [08:24] extuser: Got an idea, I think I'll manually config the drive in bios, rather than using auto, maybe that will work? [08:25] ...and you can correct that using X11 Video Output, but then it drops frames like crazy :) [08:26] joetheodd, try the live CDs? [08:26] Maybe the message is, "Don't buy ATI" :) [08:26] sprinkmeier, internet's slow, and i'm out of blanks. === erik_ is now known as Guest53341 [08:27] ATI sucksss.. [08:28] zapz, Well, on benchmarks they do very well. Its only in the Linux world that they suck :) [08:28] To be fair [08:28] but still [08:29] n2diy: not sure how used to bios setting you are, but just in case you aren't a bios pro, make sure you write down all the current setting exactly. it might save you a huge headache later. [08:30] n2diy: an easy way to test for the bios theory would be to install it onto another desktop computer and boot up the livecd on that computer and see if has the same issues. [08:32] n2diy: good luck with your hdd, i have to go. cheers. [08:33] extuser: fine business, this isn' mission critical stuff, I salvaged the HP box, and after no luck getting that to work, pulled the drive, and I'm using it in my test box. It has the same issues, regardless of which box it is in..73 [08:34] hi [08:34] Anyone with Xserver problems after upgrading from Intrepid to Jaunty ? [08:34] when i pull the cable out of my computer it loses ip and doesn't restore it when i plug it back in [08:34] how can i make it so it will automatically try to reacquire an ip? [08:35] hello. i have tried to install ubuntu 8.04 dvd [08:35] it said [08:35] adante, it sometimes takes a while, how long do you wait ? [08:35] PerJ: question regarding Jaunty should be asked in #ubuntu+1 [08:35] sprinkmeier: it doesn't restore after about 20 hours [08:35] only sda(0,0,0), none partitions of it [08:35] quibbler: ok, thank you [08:35] sprinkmeier: only time i have gotten it up is when i re-run dhclient from the computer [08:36] hi there, can anybody tell where the packages locates after apt-get installation [08:36] when i have entered it, also no inner partitions, said "if you continue, we will write partition table! you are going to use the whole disk!" [08:36] adante, ok... that shouldbe enough time :-) HAL should be telling the system that the eth carrier is back up and should re-start DHCP. what does ethtool say before/during/after unplug? [08:36] SOIER: dpkg -L packagename [08:36] though sda really has soamething like sda1, sda2, sda5, sda6 [08:37] sda0 normally [08:37] qdb, sounds like it's offering to wipe all those partitons for you [08:37] hello [08:37] lstarnes: I was trying to install some stuff using apt-get but it's broked because of full disk. Can I delete all this stuff uploaded on my pc. Is it still here on my disk ??? [08:38] I am having a strange problem. all the flash movies/youtube etc are having sound but any player like rythembox or vlc is not having sound [08:38] SOIER: how big is your disk? === Guest773 is now known as msh [08:38] Nevermind... turns out I had to change the Windows sharename to the remote machine's IP in the /etc/fstab. It used to work, but ja... thrill. [08:38] I am having a strange problem. all the flash movies/youtube etc are having sound but any player like rythembox or vlc is not having sound [08:38] 7GB :) [08:38] msh, look in /var/cache/apt/archives/ [08:38] qdb: what had you installed on sda0? [08:38] SOIER: you should most likely be using a bigger disk [08:39] sda0? i mean sda0 saying sda1 , i think [08:39] windows [08:39] lstarnes: now the question is : how to find this packages i was downloading before and remove ??? [08:39] qdb: and do you want to keep it? [08:39] yes [08:39] there are also ext3 partition [08:39] and swap [08:39] mandriva was there [08:39] sprink: what to look there? [08:39] SOIER: dpkg -l can list all installed packages [08:39] can this device run ubuntu : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSLU2 [08:40] but the installer like has not seen them [08:40] qdb: and do you do you have only the one drive? [08:40] msh, that;s where downloaded .deb's love before they;re installed. [08:40] guys who among you, uses Wireshark? I cant choose an interface... [08:40] yes [08:40] SOIER, you can scroll the terminal commands by using the up/down key [08:40] s/love/live/ :-) [08:40] it is ot my computer [08:40] not [08:40] zapz: you may need to run it as root [08:40] lstarnes: as I said it has downloaded but not installed. As i understand it's locating on my pc, somewhere on tmp but not installed [08:41] i am not there now === segin|kvirc is now known as segin [08:41] qdb: do you wish to install ubuntu in place of mandiva [08:41] yes [08:41] Istarnes How? can I run it as root..... ? [08:41] SOIER, look in /var/cache/apt/archives/ (ok, looks liek I sent that to the wrong person last time) [08:41] Dreamglider: for what ??? [08:41] so I have to go to terminal ayt? lstarnes [08:41] zapz: in a terminal, try this: gksudo wireshark [08:42] one reason it was hard to make internet connection with that mandriva [08:42] zapz: there may be an option in the applications > internet menu [08:42] sprinkmeier: hmm hangon a mo.. this computer is remote i need to ring someone locally to go and run dhclient for me again :] [08:42] i made once in my computer but now have forgotten how to make it [08:42] SOIER, once you find the package you installed, use remove instead of install [08:42] adante, cron-job it :-) [08:42] wow THANKS! [08:42] 2008.0 [08:42] where i can download Avant-Window-Navigator [08:43] qdb: then when you come to the partition part of the install choose manual and use the partitions from mandiva for the install [08:43] sprinkmeier: hah good idea [08:43] i have gone to manual [08:43] Malacius, you can get it from the repos [08:43] but it does not show partitions! [08:43] only the sda [08:43] I am looking for software for a nav-cam 2007 gps [08:43] disk is ide, seagate [08:44] would like to write plugins [08:44] how do i start [08:44] sprinkmeier: can I remove all that deb stuff from that location ??? )) Is it help to enlarge my free disk space ??? [08:44] any good tutorials [08:44] sridhar: plugins for what? [08:44] may be i should try ubuntu 8.10 cd [08:44] sridhar, plugins for what ? [08:44] for mozilla [08:45] i have also that [08:45] i am a beginner [08:45] so i just want to learn [08:45] SOIER, it's like a cache. if you want to re-install or put the deb;s on another machine then keeping them may be a good idea. otherwise fire at will! [08:45] dont know where to start from [08:45] but maybe no difference in installers of them [08:45] qdb: is the dvd a live dvd [08:45] sridhar, http://developer.apple.com/documentation/InternetWeb/Conceptual/WebKit_PluginProgTopic/WebKitPluginTopics.html [08:45] there is also live [08:45] also text [08:45] i have tried to install from live [08:46] also same situation [08:46] sprinkmeier: ok ! tnx. So It's like windows install folder )) and it can be located on another pc ??? [08:46] thnx dreamglider checking it out [08:46] buongiorno [08:46] SOIER, you can network-mount it wherever you like, just make sure it's available otherwise apt won't work. [08:46] lstarnes: okay I run the wireshark into root, and start capturing packets.... now my problem is I cant catch any packets... [08:47] zapz: which onterface did you try capturing? [08:47] lstarnes: packets from lan.. [08:47] *interface [08:47] how can i open .7z files? [08:47] my wireless card [08:47] canale lingua italiana? [08:47] unrar doesn't open them [08:47] zapz: what was the name of it? [08:47] juanito, with 7zip [08:47] !it [08:47] 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) [08:47] juanito in synaptic search 7z [08:47] wlan0 [08:47] sprinkmeier: so apt-ger checks this folder first and then decide dowload or not some soft ??? [08:48] ok i will try [08:48] lstarnes: wlan0 is the name [08:48] SOIER, yes [08:48] thanks a ton [08:48] hi, I just need a minimal install [08:48] what next to get sound up and running? [08:49] zapz: try using "any" [08:49] Is there some built-in keyboard shortcut for getting a terminal? [08:49] okay try.. [08:49] i quit from this channel [08:49] qdb: try this : start the computer up with the live cd or dvd and press F6 to edit the start line then get rid of quiet splash and add "all_generic_ide" (without the quotes) and boot further and see if that helps with the manual install you should see the other partitions [08:49] elad`, ALT-F2, xterm ENTER [08:50] What about gnome-terminal? [08:50] OK TNX A LOT !!! [08:50] elad`, (don't know the name of that, gterminal?) I usually assign the windows key to a terminal, it's not like it has any other use :-) [08:51] elad`unless you use compiz.. :) [08:51] elad`: System > Preferences > keyboard shortcuts [08:51] elad`, s/xterm/gnome-terminal/ === _chaky__ is now known as _chaky_ [08:51] when I plugin my usb it doesn't work anymore any ideas on how I could fix this? [08:52] Never mind, I used System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts. Luckily for me, it was there. But what if I had wanted any other program? [08:52] Dreamglider :) [08:52] disappearedng_, define 'does not work'. USB does not auto-mount? [08:53] lstarnes seems to be capturing local packets not from lan [08:53] sprinkmeier: when I plugin my usb nothing pops up [08:53] it can't mount [08:53] elad`, i dont know how to add anything to the list, i would like to know tho. [08:53] and then when I start my machine it says something wrong with hal and I have to manually startx [08:54] zapz: try checking dmesg for anything related to wlan0 [08:54] disappearedng_, that something that it says is probably relevant. pastebin it? [08:54] sprinkmeier: how do I find that ? [08:54] ? [08:54] elad`: you could use the configuration editor [08:54] disappearedng_, check in /var/log/messages [08:54] . [08:55] The what? [08:55] Surely there are ways to create keyboard shortcuts, that would work under GNOME, without the built-in, very weak, tool. [08:56] (Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts, that is. If there's another tool, I'd like to know.) [08:56] elad`: you could use the configuration editor run gcong-editor in terminal go to /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_1 and define what you want [08:58] hi all, [08:58] elad`: look around in the editor ..you can change a lot of things, not just keyboard shortcuts. [08:58] I've got a little issue with my Dell E5500. My screen resolution is fixed to 1024x768 and I can't change it even if I know that the card can do it. Any idea ? [08:59] http://pastie.org/416717 sprinkmeier [09:00] do you see anything sprinkmeier? [09:01] disappearedng_, did a quick search, can't find "hal" [09:01] hm... [09:01] then wait [09:03] ok [09:03] like right now I plug in my usb [09:03] Nothing shows up [09:03] I can't access it [09:03] disappearedng_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:03] but the icon is there [09:04] anybody have a clue how to get adobe flashplayer work under konqueror? [09:04] disappearedng_: Can you get into the usb stick or do you get an error msg? [09:04] disappearedng_, right-click the icon, is there a "mount" option? [09:05] yeah I press mount and then nothing happened [09:06] disappearedng_: type sudo fdisk -l [09:07] disappearedng_, any mention of the USB device in /var/log/messages? what does "lsusb" say? [09:07] disappearedng_: Do you see your device there? [09:07] My processors are running hot with nothing more than Firefox running. Both cores are clocked well over 50%. Seems to be slowing the system down. [09:08] Anyone else have this issue? [09:08] sudo fdisk -l http://pastie.org/416721 [09:08] jacoblyles, badly written flash apps? [09:08] nothing [09:09] I guess it could have been one of the websites [09:09] http://pastie.org/416722 lsusb [09:09] but system monitor didn't have any process listed as eating up CPU [09:09] I assume sdb is the USB device (i.e. it goes away when you remove it?) [09:10] All I have is gmail and a static page open [09:11] disappearedng_, solving the problem from the wrong end.... you waid boot-up mentions a HAL error? HAL = hardware abstraction layer = magic glue that auto-mounts stuff. Fix HAL and the mounting should work again. Can you get the HAL error from /var/log/messages and pastebin it? [09:12] hi) [09:12] sprinkmeier: I did cat /var/log/messages | grep "hal" and nothing showed up [09:13] disappearedng_, but you're sure boot shows a HAL error? can you reboot and try to copy it handraulically (if required, CNTRL-S/CNRTL-Q pauses/resumes boot sequence) [09:14] elad` seems there's not much for keyboard shortcuts in GNOME but through configuration editor. There may be an application to do this but I haven't found it yet. Weak, eh? Sounds like someone needs to write an app. [09:15] duke_: have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash [09:15] fieldse, I didn't mean to say I could do better. [09:16] fieldse, but the same goes for music. If someone is missing half the notes while playing the moonlight sonata, and I point it out, it doesn't mean I presume to be able to hit even a third. [09:16] Criticism is legitimate even from someone who can't do better, so long as it phrased correctly. [09:18] woops [09:18] hey guys i just now updated to the 9.04 alpha and it looks like i lost my java plugin [09:18] Dexi: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks.

[09:20] hi again, this is the output of gstreamer-volume-control http://codepad.org/1hDYBwx0 ,, why is it like this, there are no devices too [09:20] databridge: Ubuntu includes that in the repos, which you can easily install [09:20] i know, but i was searching for a lab distro [09:20] quibbler, very well. [09:20] !flash [09:20] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [09:21] all in one for developement [09:21] databridge: Doubtful that there'll be one with all that pre-installed, since its trivial to install it afterwards on your favorite distro (and each lab is likely set up differently anyway) [09:21] Now, how do I use gconf-editor to add keyboard shortcuts? I see now connection between those shortcuts and launching programs. [09:21] the problem is that i maybe want to use it where i have no internet [09:21] so i need to have everything together [09:22] databridge: That's not entirely true. You can bring a supplimental CD with you (or customize the alternate CD) [09:22] elad`: you can read this: http://library.gnome.org/users/gconf-editor/2.22/ [09:22] !aptoncd | databridge [09:22] databridge: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [09:22] hm [09:22] databridge: or if you want it all on one cd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization [09:22] ah ok thanks [09:23] I've just done the most idiotic thing ever.

[09:29] flannel: in non-sarcasm, btw [09:30] =) [09:30] fieldse: I think most people use it because they can throw it into screen and then have it last forever type thing. [09:31] eh??

[10:23] moijk: cat /proc/asound/cards will give you a list [10:23] i want to get this http://www.evdoinfo.com/content/view/872/40/ to work with ubuntu 8.10 [10:24] thanks Slart [10:25] moijk: you're welcome [10:25] Slart: but it doesn't seem to work either with the alsa-utils reset Intel nor reset 0. get an amixer error? [10:25] mrwes: look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=15471 [10:26] any gay here...? [10:26] @slart i need the sessionstartup for the console not for the gui.. [10:26] moijk: alsa is a weird beast.. I've never used alsa-utils to reset a card.. I didn't even know you could do that.. what is the error message? [10:26] joejc: is it plugged in currently? [10:26] m0nst3rkill3r: hmm.. perhaps .bashrc or similar file might be useful [10:27] no [10:27] it was [10:27] joejc: could you plug it in then type lsusb in terminal please [10:27] Slart: amixer that is invoked say it is an ivalid card number. how would you suggest to reset the card? [10:27] it shows up [10:27] joejc: so you just need an interface for it? [10:27] m0nst3rkill3r: but that might be run every time you start a shell.. not sure [10:28] quibbler, thanks [10:28] i think the interface works [10:28] mrwes: you are welcome [10:28] if i use the default number my comp frezes [10:28] joejc: what errors are you having in using it then? The question seemed to be that you couldnt get it started? [10:29] moijk: can you pastebin a copy paste of the terminal window where you tried this? [10:29] if i use the correct number it doesnt connect [10:29] joejc: whats the default connection? [10:29] for? [10:29] joejc: for the usb modem [10:30] what broke? [10:30] 3865379 [10:30] no [10:30] joejc: not the phone number friend, i mean what is its physical location [10:30] Lol ... [10:31] joejc: the freeze would indicate theres a conflict in drives, or that the usb is conflicting with another known device, thats why i ask :) === joakim_ is now known as JEwenson [10:31] its Auto Mobile Broadband (CDMA) connection [10:31] joejc: thats the output from lsusb? [10:32] slart: http://paste.ubuntu.com/131482/ [10:32] Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1410:2110 Novatel Wireless Ovation U720/MCD3000 [10:32] joejc: are there any other device bus 02 or device 03 listed also? [10:33] moijk: hmm.. I get the same error when I run it here.. odd.. [10:34] heres all of it http://pastebin.com/m3a15c123 [10:34] Slart: so how would you suggest resetting the card? it loops a small sample over and over, which isn't very entertaining. [10:34] moijk: have you tried "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset all" ? [10:35] hello everybody. Can I see see how much power electricity my system is using with full load? I,m looking some kind of console command or a program I can run [10:35] xukun: powertop? [10:35] Xukun, no [10:35] Slart: same error, I'm afraid [10:36] Xukun, you'd need kill-a-watt or something of the sort [10:36] moijk: if you look at the init.d script you're running it is doing all kinds of stuff using the command alsactl.. it's probably all those calls that fail for some reason [10:37] moijk: they might have changed the syntax or someone didn't have enough coffee when they wrote it [10:37] hi [10:37] Slart: I'll see if I can find the gremlin, and then if so file a bug comment (or sponsor their caffeine) [10:37] moijk: sounds like a plan.. I'll google around and see if there is another way of resetting an alsa device [10:37] joejc: on the top right of your ubuntu screen there should be an icon for network connections, could you please right click that and see if it has an ethX (where x is the number) assigned? [10:38] Slart, slavik2 thans guys [10:41] What is the Linux equivalent of "RunAsDate" ? In other operating systems it's a utility that injects the date/time that you specify into the desired application. [10:42] ccchatzilla: never seen such a command.. why would you want to do that? [10:42] ccchatzilla: just out of curiosity [10:42] Hmm, don't think i've seen that one, would be interesting to know though [10:43] I am sure it simply changes the time while the command is run [10:43] Slart: I want to use some evaluation software for a couplemore days === bAsTl is now known as bastl [10:44] RunAsDate intercepts the kernel API calls that returns the current date and time (GetSystemTime, GetLocalTime, GetSystemTimeAsFileTime) === bastl is now known as lcng_bastl [10:44] eval on linux? [10:44] Must be really expensive stuff [10:44] yes, the wing IDE is trial [10:45] Sounds familiar [10:45] What it used for? [10:45] python development with pygtk [10:46] Ahh [10:46] Still haven't decided on whether you want it? [10:46] hello, running ubu 8.04 on [10:46] on a Samsung R40 laptop. Bootup speed is incredibly slow. [10:47] I want to use for a couple more days, that's it [10:47] how can i find out what is delaying bootup? ooting in recovery mode is ok. [10:47] elcMawr: are you booting a livecd/dvd or native install? [10:47] Elc, there are guides and tools [10:48] native [10:48] ok, where are guides and tools pls? [10:48] hi, a very weird thing is happening, my wifi on my laptop can connect to almost any wifi AP except for my at home, which is not even seen by the laptop.. what could be the cause?? [10:48] !boot [10:48] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [10:49] kane77: some weird wi-fi standard? [10:49] Slart, nope, it is very standard wifi :) [10:49] and it sees it in monitor mode with kismet [10:49] illumin8, that's fine, ut how do i determine what's hanging at boot tome? [10:50]
