[00:00] FernandoF: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:00] LjL: let me try that [00:00] Flare183, no kidding. we're trying to change it though. I think the local cable company is getting close to the site, so the second it does, we're OFF the wireless link [00:00] sprinkmeier, so, any other ideas on how to find this windows box and shut it down? [00:00] I have my system blockedd.... message is session with less than 10 seconds [00:00] Gnea, I'm assuming the windows box is out of control, so there's no way to stop it from poisoning ARP caches. The only thing to do is to flood them with the right info. ugly! [00:00] may I have help? [00:00] jeeves: ahh ok [00:01] jeeves, ping of death? NMAP OS scan (sometimes crashes unpatched boxes) other assorted network-malware nasties? [00:01] !ask | FernandoF [00:01] FernandoF: 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. :-) [00:01] Flare183, so, unless we can get someone to let us "tie onto" their DNS server, we're kinda stuck [00:01] LjL: Still is just removing that single package [00:01] LjL, are you sure aptitude doesn't remove dependencies? [00:01] jeeves: oh ok [00:01] vocx: no, i'm sure of the contrary [00:01] my system doesnot allow me get in ans says "session ended with less than 10 seconds" [00:02] ScottG489: then the packages it depends on are all needed, or marked as manually installed [00:02] sprinkmeier, well, I don't want to literly kill the box (otherwise I'll have to rebuild it), and I only have SSH access to the Ubuntu box [00:02] it happened after i tryed to get sme space with kleensweep [00:02] LjL: hm, i dont see what else would need compiz libraries besides compiz... [00:02] how do I connect to another session that I got disconnected from? [00:02] ScottG489: check. "apt-cache rdepends packagename" === johnny_ is now known as Guest91034 [00:03] jeeves, try to nmap it to get an idea of what it's running (RDP, telnet, ???) ssh in, then run screen so you can resume killed SSH sessions [00:03] ScottG489: where the package name would be the compiz library concerned [00:03] gnome-panel isn't starting in jaunty here lately. I have to kill it to make it work(!). Any ideas how I could start to figure out the problem? [00:04] !jaunty > avuton (avuton, see the private message from ubottu) [00:04] LjL: Well i cant just check each package mostly because I dont know what i am looking for. I guess i just want to know everything that was installed with compiz [00:04] do anyone knows how to use irssi. when i access it, it just say [(status)] [00:04] how to connect? [00:04] ScottG489: was it installed recently? [00:04] sprinkmeier, I'm cheawing on the subnet that the box is on looking on port 80, and I can't seem to find the box [00:04] Hey, I have a variety of SOCKS5 proxies running on sequential ports on my PC [ports 10001->10010] .. I wanna load balance over them into a common port [lets say 10011] so I can run over them as if they are a common stream [such as "tsocks links www.google.co.za"] [00:04] I turned compiz off and I still can not bring up a window when I click on it [00:05] admin_masu3701: http://www.irssi.org/documentation checkout the startup HOWTO [00:05] LjL: yup [00:05] jeeves, argh.. of course not, nmap probes to the address won't leave the box (as the server thinks it owns them). Any other boxes there? [00:05] Scottthen /var/log/dpkg.log should have the list of what was installed === [Prometheus] is now known as ]Prometheus[ [00:05] Hey all... So, I have a significant amount of music and I wanted to know if there was a good piece of software to organize it... [00:05] sprinkmeier, there are regular workstations there. I don't know why I can't find this other server [00:06] LjL: ok ill check it out [00:06] armence: What do you mean organize? [00:06] i can not get in my system and I have some messages from /etc/gdm/Xsession, anyone may help me? [00:06] jeeves, because it's probably camping out on your IP address so the ubuntu server won't route any packets to it. [00:06] Songbird is a nice program, but it's a music player [00:06] any other ideas on how I can find it? [00:07] Miyavix3: Well, I used to have iTunes (back when I used Windows) which had all kinds of search functions and all kinds of ways to arrange music by album author etc... [00:07] jeeves, I assume you're port-forwarding to the ubuntu server? any way to change the port forwarding configuration? [00:07] armence: banshee [00:07] armence: The default music player for ubuntu is nice, banshee, songbird are all good too [00:08] my problem happened after i deleted empty directoriesand files with kleensweep [00:08] !info balance | Stevethepirate [00:08] balance (source: balance): Load balancing solution and generic tcp proxy. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.35-2 (intrepid), package size 18 kB, installed size 80 kB [00:08] !info pen | Stevethepirate [00:08] pen (source: pen): Load balancer for "simple" tcp based protocols. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.18.0-1 (intrepid), package size 54 kB, installed size 180 kB [00:08] sprinkmeier, the box (from what I understand of the config), it's just an open (DMZ) connection to the network [00:08] Thanks, I'll give a shot to both banshee and songbird... By the way, I purchased some music on iTunes, is there any way to use it without iTunes? [00:08] I'm fairly certain you can, if you have the right codecs. [00:08] LjL: i guess not recently enough [00:08] Anyone know how to alter the Resolution in Xubuntu? [00:09] Miyavix3: Thanks [00:09] sprinkmeier, what is the command to get nmap to show only windows boxes? [00:09] ScottG489: well there should also normally be /var/dpkg/dpkg.log.1, etc [00:09] ScottG489: try "zgrep main-package-name /var/log/dpkg*" [00:09] armence: GTK iTunes Store Application [00:09] LjL, zgrep? [00:10] anyone know how to change to 1280 x 800 resolution? [00:10] vocx: grepz in .gz files. [00:10] err, greps. [00:10] jeeves, nmap -O attempts host OS detection. You can grep that for windows boxes, but you can't tell nap to only scan windows boxes. [00:10] LjL, he he, too much Zzz [00:10] dronix: thanks [00:10] excuse me gentlemen, how do i tell ALSA to use my emu10k1 sound card rather than the horrible staticy motherboard sound output? [00:10] anyone here know their way around an fstab file? i am trying to move my home directory to a seperate hard drive but i can't get it to mount properly by which i mean at all [00:10] sprinkmeier, I don't get what's causing it to refuse SSH connections though [00:10] xubuntu install decided to use thel atter by default [00:11] and im not too happy about it [00:11] jeeves, if I'm right though and the windows box is using the same IP address as the ubuntu box then nmap will _never_ find it as packets for its IP address will never leave the box. [00:11] stroganoff is tasty [00:11] Ykstort is dstort'D [00:11] jeeves, the gateway's ARP table is being poisoned by the windows boxes MAC details. ssh packets are being sent to the windows box where, as 22 isn't open, they're rejected. [00:11] why is firefox so slow ;( [00:11] sprinkmeier, touche that's what I was thinking [00:12] Ndshacker: try disabling ipv6 [00:12] hello guys [00:12] I already did [00:12] sprinkmeier, as I said, it seems that it works every so often, then it just dropps the connection [00:12] Does anyone know where I can get a Metacity logo? [00:12] Ok I have a question too. I used the Wubi installer, meaning I installed ubuntu while working inside Winxp. For some reason my ubuntu won't boot. The error is: "Win could not boot because 'sys32/hal.dll' is corrupt or missig" Which is troubling me because I'm booting ubuntu... Any ideas? [00:13] It takes a long time to load Google [00:13] jeeves, the ping-flood should keep the ARP table in the router correct. ugly kludge. you're not paying for traffic to the gateway, are you? [00:13] Is it because I am downloading stuff? [00:13] Ndshacker:yes [00:13] my system does not allow me to get in and returns the message "session timed out with less than 10 seconds. it couldmean you have no disk space or may have installation problems" [00:13] I just installed Xubuntu and sound only works on the motherboard's line out, which is staticy and awful, my sound blaster live sound card doesnt put out any sound. so xubuntu's installer must've chosen the motherboard one by default. How do i rectify this? [00:14] firefox on linux really has some problems... [00:14] this morning i start my ubuntu in my aspire one as each day, yesterday i close my ubuntu linux without problems later of write a bit of code in eclipse, i dont remember update any kernel, today my atheros madwifi wifi dont work, this is common when update a kernel, then i go to make make install and modprobe ath_pci again, but without success, someone have same problem¿ [00:14] Fglrx broke my X! Gahhh pffftbah. [00:14] Chaorain: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/metacity/metacity.png [00:14] go with opera [00:14] jeeves, mad scheme: add an alias IP address to the ubuntu box. use autossh to set up a reverse tunnel. Connect back into the box using that reverse tunnel. drop the conflicted IP address. All the gateway's port forwarding will then go to the windows box, so you won't have any services, but at least the ARP wars will be over and you can work in peace. [00:14] anyone have an idea why the 8.10 installer does not see my hdd while 7.04 and parted magic have no issues? [00:14] Stroganoff, thanks [00:14] Yeah :S, I hate how torrents slow down my Computer almost as slow as xp O.O [00:14] How do I uninstall fglrx? [00:15] how do i tell alsa to use my sound card not my motherboard? (sound card is sound blaster live emu10k1) [00:15] Nalf, try Synaptic package manager [00:15] chaorain: I don't have a gui. [00:15] hey, anyone know how to change to 1280 x 800 resolution? [00:15] any one available to help me? [00:16] Oh I know now >.<, my mom is having a video chat :| [00:16] My system does not allow me to get in after i cleaned empty files and directories [00:16] Nalf, "sudo apt-get remove fglrx" should work [00:16] sprinkmeier, ok, I got a hold of the monkey to disconnect the windows server. so we'll see if this works [00:16] Does someone mind explaining what "nice" means in System Monitor/Processes? Googling for "nice" and "ubuntu" yields a slew of unrelated things, since Ubuntu is.... nice itself :p === blkonmeu is now known as Aya [00:16] anyone here know their way around an fstab file? i am trying to move my home directory to a seperate hard drive but i can't get it to mount properly by which i mean at all [00:17] i had a wine xvid installed for a sync fix program, I uninstalled now totem doesn't play xvids, how / where I get a ubuntu xvid codec installed? [00:17] O.O === Aya is now known as aya_toshiro [00:17] I do :) === aya_toshiro is now known as aya^_^ [00:17] Barridus: nice is the priority for a process [00:17] jeeves, local monkey trumps ssh any day :-) [00:17] jtaji, so higher "nice" means more priority? [00:17] its pretty self-explainitory, Drive Mount point Type Otions 0 0 [00:17] sprinkmeier, lol, this is true. and I think he's afraid of me [00:17] Chaorain, that doesn't work. : [00:18] sprinkmeier, and I think is a VERY good thing [00:18] what do i use to get more than three resolutions? [00:18] Barridus: -20 to 19, -20 is highest priority [00:18] is there some sort of bnc application in the ubuntu repo? [00:18] Nalf, did you compile it yourself? [00:18] I'm having a problem, [00:18] hello. i cannot install alpha6, this happens http://img.xrmb2.net/images/596580.jpeg the same problem with alpha5, any ideas? [00:18] Chaorain, no. All I did was enable the proprietary driver. [00:18] jeeves, BOFH :-) [00:18] <_Whipper> SpuddlyMcMartin, : ive had a dozen revolutions, and allways had fun.. [00:18] I don't have any video when playing videos <_< just plain black, what to install? [00:19] can anyone read this?

[00:24] cmdbbq: I can't personally help you, but look at the links from !fstab, also try man fstab at a terminal. And I do believe that the fstab file has a little bit of documentation in it. [00:24] <_Whipper> SpuddlyMcMartin, : what does it say in the cover of the machine? [00:24] SpuddlyMcMartin, of course, xubuntu jsut installs xfce to begin with [00:25] Gotcha :) [00:25] SpuddlyMcMartin, nothing to stop you uninstalling it and installing gnome though [00:25] google for fstab guide [00:25] guys how do i tell alsa to use a different card [00:25] alsa is using the wrong one currently [00:25] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 [00:25] So i should load Gnome or kde?

All sound is very quiet (even though i've set everything to max volume) and if you turn the speakers up, there's a very odd high frequency crackling noise - this doesn't occur in Windows [01:04] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).

When the server is hundreds of miles away it is not always possible to get someone to drag a KVM switch over to the rack and log in just so I can use the gui for a few minutes.

[01:24] Jackaruto, thats probably going to be cause by the client side setup for VNC actually requiring a GUI to work with [01:24] myron.. the nvida install script will adjust your xorg conf for you [01:24] of course it will back it up first [01:25] Jackaruto, you have the choice of SSH, or setting it up to login to a generic user automatically (that has no rights) [01:25] <_Whipper> Jackaruto, : i dont do know much about anything.. but i know google does :) === Guest81702 is now known as jayb [01:25] hola [01:25] i need help [01:25] <_pHI_> hi, when i right click a file, i see the option: "open with->"Emacs Snapshot (GTK)"... how can i modify this command to execute "emacs -fn "Fontface"" instead of just "emacs"? is there a file/mime-type setting i must edit? any help is greatly appreciated!

[01:55] brandonc503: you're behind a router and are trying to port forward to your internal computer so someone that visits your external address hits the webserver?

[01:56] _Whipper: but it was a general question, directed to the channel [01:57] brandonc503, : install nast and do sudo nast -i ethX -m, and you will see all computer in your network [01:57] _Whipper: it wasn't for anyone specific.. I don't know who might know the answer [01:57] juken, I think the problem is with ssh [01:57] _pHI_: you there? [01:57] <_Whipper> PeskyJ, :ok [01:57] astrit: if you haven't changed anything on the server side then it shouldn't be an issue with ssh [01:57] Does anyone else find linux to be a massive learning curve when your first start?

I don't know when it will end [02:23] Nalf: kk...the applet is being really slow for some reason [02:23] adrian_2002ca, my advice is to uninstall the driver, reinstall it, (all with the device unpluggeD) and then plug it in. [02:24] adrian_2002ca, the applet doesn't load for me at all, I have to use the command line. [02:24] <_Whipper> GaMeBoY439, : just cable in, and do what u need [02:24] adrian_2002ca, also.. until you have it installed lsusb would not work for me. [02:24] jayg, well how big is the drive?

However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.

[02:35] how do i see what driver i have installed for my wifi [02:35] doesn't the ubuntu install give you the option to install lamp automagically? [02:35] sketch_: lsmod [02:35] jayg: yup, think so [02:35] the most important things are like docs (which i have on usb drive) and combat arms, which is a freeware fps i can always redownload :-D [02:35] <_Whipper> 16th beer, and work begins.. abaout 2.5h :) [02:35] having many packages installed will make the system heavyer? or not at all ?

[02:45] Ndshacker: I've always preferred realvnc [02:45] Ok :) [02:46] juken: which is faster? [02:46] <|shad0w|> anyone familiar with ucf?

[03:07] melik, are u running jaunty? [03:07] yeah usser [03:07] in ubuntu there is always a *group* by the same name as the primary user - is this just so that there is something to put for perms? That is, I shouldn't really be using the *baz* group for any real stuff right? [03:07] bcog, I don't think you can use it in an alias - I had to use a function instead.

I even have FreeNX set up on the desktop [03:31] well when i do my makefile, i'm thinking it's going to install it where my makefile is [03:31] bcog, does it give defaults? [03:31] Titan8990: I just want to basically be able to share files [03:31] though i can specify probably where it builds the libraries [03:31] sprinkmeier, i think i need to specify [03:31] so should i specify usr/lib? [03:31] that sounds right [03:31] ScottG489, if you already have ssh, I would just that to share files [03:31] could apic (or whatever the power management stuff is) make a netvista that I have installed ubuntu too reboot randomly or a little while after I log in? [03:31] sorry i'm just really starting to understand this stuff so ... before i would just dump it anywhere [03:32] Titan8990: Place > Network doesnt show what it should [03:32] bcog: it should be prefix=/usr/local [03:32] ScottG489, if you go to places -> connect to server you can connect to a ssh server [03:32] thanks bruce89 [03:32] ScottG489, what does it show? [03:32] medibuntu first, coding libraries second =) [03:32] a friend of mine told that drivers for linux, especially for complicated hardware like video cards, usually underperforms the windows equivalents because the manufacturers spend less time and resources perfecting them - is this true? [03:32] juken: [03:32] Titan8990: I used to have XP on the desktop downstairs and it still shows "Windows Network" [03:32] anyone recomended a good wireless router besides linksys ? [03:32] There has to be a way to prevent my nic from sending out DHCP requests or doing anything that would allow a DHCP server to reassign an address to it... [03:32] hmm is there something like eAccelerator for nginx? [03:32] <_Whipper> why dont people with "win"-issues just go to mikrosOft, and aska Gates.. [03:32] I tried to install that game..using your directions [03:32] I like DLINK [03:32] Titan8990: Actually I take that back. I have VBox and it should still show that. [03:32] ScottG489: What you're looking for is a samba share [03:32] bcog, if the library isn't mature enough to provide sane defaults then m,aybe you shouldn't be messing with it until you know your way around linux (i know I wouldn't!) [03:32] ScottG489, you need select places -> "connect to server" [03:32] and Buffalo [03:33] when I tried ./worldofpadman [03:33] ScottG489, not network [03:33] I got... [03:33] I can't get kino to export a file that will play correctly in vlc. what do you normally do? [03:33] install smbclinet on each machine and setup the smb.conf [03:33] sprinkmeier, i need t do it for a coding project [03:33] no such file or directory [03:33] bcog: I suppose libcoin40c2 won't suffice [03:33] *smbclient [03:33] and i guess they assume that one is an advanced programmer if you're using those libraries [03:33] bruce89, what is that? [03:33] maybe it would [03:33] Titan8990: Then how to i configure COnnect to Server? [03:33] is that coin3d? their newest version?

[03:35] you freaking rock i LOVE you [03:36] bcog: even obscure libraries like that [03:36] last time i thought i was going to die [03:36] for real [03:36] is it obscure? === disappearedng_ is now known as Dexter_ [03:36] bcog: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:37] torc: i believe that's what its for yeah [03:37] oh well I'de rather use a Windows Server anyway seems to be more stable [03:37] ScottG489, is one scp? [03:37] devilsF00d, if you assign a astatic IP addrss then it won't ask for a DHCP. Accepting DHCP is the Right Thing to do unless you have static IP. [03:37] torc: There is some tool to make debs out of the tar.gzs --- I think it is build-dep [03:37] Titan8990: wait are you talking about smbclient? [03:37] !libcoin60-dev [03:37] ScottG489, or simply ssh [03:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about libcoin60-dev [03:37] ScottG489, no smbclients is for windows [03:37] !libcoin60-dev jaunty [03:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:37] yeah that is false spinkmeier but thanks [03:37] ScottG489, and is a cli utility [03:37] !info libcoin60-dev [03:37] Package libcoin60-dev does not exist in intrepid [03:37] devilsF00d: Ubuntu does the right thing with DHCP ... what is your problem?

[03:38] devilsF00d: when does it go offline? [03:38] is there a terminal command to autoupdate ubuntu? [03:38] devilsF00d, It's worked for me, i've set up loads of servers with static IP addresses. [03:38] torc: hmm yeah, dont know [03:38] <_Whipper> jayg, :flashdrive? [03:38] never ran into this with BSD [03:38] bcog: 3.0 is in Jaunty [03:38] try it and see? [03:38] but i'm using intrepid [03:38] Cpudan80: alrighty, thanks anywhos. :) will do! :D [03:38] _Whipper: yeah, have a flash drive [03:38] I know [03:38] it goes offline about 5 minutes after it gets online [03:38] torc: there is some tool to do what you want --- build debs out of tar.gz [03:39] Q: will changing the partition label of an ntfs partition destroy all data on that partition? [03:39] Cpudan80: aight, i'll look for it =), thanks [03:39] devilsF00d: that is most likely some cox issue, I dont have problems with it [03:39] =) [03:39] devilsF00d, maybe the 'going offline spontaneously' problem is the one you should tackle first. Then worry about DHCP. [03:39] so ... bruce89 can i get it from the repositories then? [03:39] i'm ok with 2.5 [03:39] devilsF00d: what exactly goes out? The network card? lose your DHCP lease? what? [03:39] Titan8990: I'm not really getting how to use the smbclient [03:40] i mean technically it never goes offline it just keeps getting kicked of the network cause it keeps accepting sending out DHCPDISCOVER [03:40] bcog: only if you use Jaunty for now [03:40] ScottG489, because I'm not telling you to use smbclient? [03:40] oh sorry [03:40] :( [03:40] so I can ping out but they won't let any traffic in to my static cause that MAC already has a new Address on their network [03:40] <_Whipper> jayg, : wel.. then youll probaly know what u want, and do what it takes, i wont guide u any further.. :) [03:40] Titan8990: What should i be using then? [03:41] ScottG489, sftp, ssh, scp one of those should be a option in the protocol selection for that server connection [03:41] devilsF00d, how are you assigning the static IP address? [03:41] the going off is the DHCP [03:41] is there another place I should go to ask about kino? [03:41] iface eth1 inet static [03:41] _Whipper: ok, so i need to figure out how to get the package as a file, transfer to the other computer, and apt install from a file... [03:41] Well I know I can just use command line interfaces to transfer files but I wanted something inside nautilus [03:41] jayg: you mean like a .deb? [03:42] devilsF00d, ... and you're leaving dhcpclient running the inthe background? yupo... it'll re-request a DCHP lease then. Use network manager or some other magic to tell the system that it's a static IP address. [03:42] I need kino to work really soon. It's already 11:41 and I need ti tomorrow. [03:42] jayg: in that case you could scp to another machine, then dpkg -i file.deb [03:42] <_Whipper> jayg, :.iso ? [03:42] suck, I can't get Google Earth to work in ubuntu [03:42] juken: Yeah i guess so [03:42] ScottG489, it is nautilus [03:42] ScottG489, .... [03:42] ScottG489, gftp [03:42] jayg: what package specifically is it? [03:42] sprinkmeier: and you're leaving dhcpclient running the inthe background? not sure what that means I would assume that the DHCP client is the NIC [03:42] usser, goes gftp handle scp? [03:43] how can I explicitly turn said client off? [03:43] juken: the problem is my new install does not even recognize my ethernet chipset... broadcom [03:43] Titan8990, yep [03:43] jayg: is it supported natively or do you need to use ndiswrapper? [03:43] Titan8990: Why arent the other computers just showing up in network:/// === V1psta is now known as np^Downtown1 [03:43] juken: [03:43] ScottG489, because network:// is for windows/samba only [03:43] care to run me threw that installation process again [03:43] devilsF00d, if the system sees a NIC that it thinks should be configured using DHCP it starts dhcpclient. If you then assign a static IP address without killing dhcpclient then dhclclient will re-request the IP address periodically. The only way to fix this is to tell the system (via network manager or /etc files) that the device is supposed to be static. [03:44] usser: Oh, hm ok. [03:44] is there a command to unlock cd drives? It only lets me access the cd once then it wont let me access it again without having to reboot the computer, this is getting very annoying because I need to burn like 3 disks tonight [03:44] mylisto: sure, wget http://blah.com/file.run [03:44] the ethernet is supported in ubuntu, but i'm installing crunchbang and it doesn't recognize it [03:44] ScottG489, because linux doesn't use protocols that generate a bunch of chatter on your network by default [03:44] then: chmod +x file.run [03:44] then: ./file.run [03:44] usser: I thought it was a general place for all computers on a network [03:44] well thats good [03:44] <_Whipper> eseven73, :unmount [03:44] Hi everyone. I have a question I have a small network of windows xp/vista computers and i want to setup an ubuntu server as a file share server for the private network, the problem is that the media I am trying to share is on external drives encrypted with truecrypt. which operating system would you recommend i use as my fileshare server? I have been having issues trying this with just about... [03:44] ...every ms os. [03:44] I did the ./worldofpadman [03:44] ScottG489, you can install samba server if you want your computer to show up there [03:44] got a no directory found [03:45] any chance I could get someone to test if my ssh server is visible outside my network? [03:45] was it in the directory that you wget'd it to? [03:45] usser: If I want what computer to show up there? [03:45] steve1, you shouldn't come on the IRC and ask that... [03:45] Hello everyone [03:45] Sprinkmeier: please elaborate on the /etc files as I don't know where to find the files that I need to access to turn off the DHCP client I've edited the /etc/network/interface files and ran ifup/ifdown on the adapter and still the DHCP client is accepting requests for that MAC address [03:45] _Whipper: sudo umount command gives a bunch of device busy errors [03:45] usser: I thought samba is for communicating with windows machines. The only windows machine I have is XP in a VM on my laptop [03:46] I have a strange problem.... GDM launches multiple X servers at startup... [03:46] actually yeah it is [03:46] Does anyone know any player that supports ipod touch 2g's via openssh mounting amarok seems to be failing. [03:46] bcog: https://launchpad.net/~bruce89/+archive/ppa [03:46] steve1: it's not [03:46] ScottG489, linux computer. yea but theres nothing stopping you from using samba to transfer between linux machines [03:46] Titan8990: it's a fine place to ask it [03:46] titan, I wasnt going to give away any login info, I was just curious if telnet would recognize it [03:46] steve1: it's filtered [03:46] devilsF00d, easiest way is to use network manager. Failing that mangle /etc/network/interfaces (I think... somewhat version dependant.) [03:46] <_Whipper> eseven73, : i had that prblm too.. i use puppy for burning now.. [03:46] juken: so the .run file is in the directory that I am in now === Vantrax is now known as MatthewLye [03:47] juken, im not sure what you mean by that [03:47] mylisto: so chmod +x file.run [03:47] but that's for jaunty? [03:47] juken: I'm trying to install b43-fwcutter, and that goes and fetches firmware [03:47] that was for you, bruce89 [03:47] juken, I would never go anywhere on the internet, and say "hey I got remote shell access to my machine available to the world" and then give them my IP address [03:47] steve1: it's not able to access it through the firewall [03:47] ok did that juken === MatthewLye is now known as Vantrax [03:47] usser: well im pretty sure i already have samba installed [03:47] bcog: I've backported coin3 to Intrepid [03:47] juken, although, we already know his IP because he doesn't have a cloak === Artemis_Fowl is now known as arte[away] [03:47] * arte[away] is now away: gone [03:47] so what you're saying then is that DHCP on ubuntu is broke... but not broke was made broken [03:47] woah === arte[away] is now known as Artemis_Fowl [03:47] * Artemis_Fowl is back from: gone (been away for 3s) [03:47] yea puppy is pretty nice for things like that [03:47] didn't do anything [03:47] bcog: It'll need built still [03:47] How do i unzip into a new folder [03:47] Titan8990: then perhaps you need to rethink your password security :)( [03:47] :) * [03:47] juken, Im running it on a nonstandard port [03:47] usser: I'm able to transfer files from my XP VM [03:47] steve1: what port? [03:47] !away > Artemis_Fowl [03:47] Artemis_Fowl, please see my private message [03:48] thank you very much! [03:48] jayg: are you able to find a .deb of it? [03:48] juken is busy [03:48] um.... i don't know how to get it off this site... do i hit the 2 links by the folder icons? [03:48] jayg: I'm busy? lol [03:49] usser: How can I check to see if I have samba installed already? [03:49] juken: lots of people asking you for help is what i meant :D [03:49] ah, lol [03:49] and to think, I'm at work too [03:49] bcog: hang on [03:49] hehe...lots of questions :D [03:49] juken :D [03:49] So I did that chmod thing... [03:49] do I have run sudo killalldhclient? [03:49] mylisto: yup [03:49] juken: i found a good ubuntu forum thread for my problem, but thanks for your help [03:49] just went to another line...didn't do anything [03:50] jayg: no problem, let me know if you need anything, just PM [03:50] bcog: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bruce89/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main [03:50] devilsF00d, not if you'te told the system the NIC is statically configured. in this case dhcpclient shouldn't even be started. [03:50] mylisto: yea, now ./file.run [03:50] ScottG489, ps -Al | grep smbd [03:50] ScottG489, if it returns nothing, no samba server is installed [03:50] thanks :D [03:50] I mean unless there is some other way to tell the system then through ../interfaces [03:51] mylisto: that .run file is a shell script file, you can either download it and run it by making it an executable with chmod +x and then running it with ./file.run OR you can download it and then sh file.run [03:51] wow ok going to try now [03:51] mylisto: working now? [03:51] devilsF00d, change the file, then "sudo /etc/init.d/networkmanager restart". that way you're doing the same thing a reboot does, and if it works now it should keep working next time you reboot.

[03:57] devilsF00d, I'd try commenting out line 9, "auto eth0". Then it looks like my file which has static IP addresses. [03:58] and even though I've run /etc/init/networking restart with that config since I've been in this room I'm watching my syslog and my server is spewing out DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 about ever 5 minutes [03:58] usser: Does smbd use up even a decent amount of resources? I'm thinking it would be best to leave off my server and just use gftp to access it [03:58] I've tried generic mpeg2, avi dv type 1, raw dv, and ogg theora. [03:58] bruce89: I've tried generic mpeg2, avi dv type 1, raw dv, and ogg theora. [03:59] ScottG489, not a lot of resources, but a bit of network chatter and transfers are generally slower [03:59] ScottG489, i've never bothered to measure it, hang on. [03:59] devilsF00d, try the "sudo killall dhclient". it can't hurt, but you shouldn't need it (esp. after "/etc/init.d/networking restart") [03:59] bruce89: trying generic mpeg1 now.

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 :) [03:59] Is there anyone here with Kanne/Mbuni experience? [03:59] um bruce89 may i download now? [03:59] Kannel* [03:59] ScottG489, and you are using a micrsoft protocol when many options are there... [03:59] and thank you very very much [03:59] word sorry [04:00] lakotajames: all of which are messed up? [04:00] Have I mentioned that Google Earth sucks in ubuntu? [04:00] bruce89: yes. [04:00] RickZilla: is it good somewhere else? ;) [04:00] Titan8990: Samba uses a microsoft protocol? [04:00] ScottG489: I wouldn't really call it a microsoft protocol [04:01] ScottG489, two actually, netbios and smb [04:01] juken: Actually, yeah, it runs like a charm on the Vista side of my machine...been trying to troubleshoot the problem [04:01] ScottG489, about 3mb per connected client [04:01] Hey, i have mobile 3G internet, now i installed fedora 10 and it worked fine, then when the 270 updates had finnished installing it no longer worked, have spent about 3 days asking on irc and scouring forums but noone can help. Does anyone have a mobile internet running under Ubuntu? I will switch if it works here. [04:01] ScottG489, samba is a microsoft protocol [04:01] bug #317781 [04:01] ScottG489: SMB was created by someone working at IBM [04:01] usser: of memory? [04:01] usser: not it's not [04:01] sprinkmeier: still spewing... [04:01] bruce89: nevermind. Generic mpeg works. [04:01] juken, ibm then [04:01] usser: =P [04:01] juken, doesnt matter [04:01] juken, :) [04:01] lakotajames: that's odd [04:01] indeed it doesn't. [04:02] devilsF00d, have you killed all dhcpclient instances? [04:02] usser: Does it need to be explicitly connected or if the other computers are on the network thats considered connected? [04:02] ScottG489, it needs to be explicitly connected, ie share mounted/opened in nautilus etc [04:02] juken, it was orginally created by IBM but ms has done all the upgrading and maint work on it [04:02] sprinkmeier: "dhclient: no process killed" [04:02] ScottG489, but for the life of me i dont understand why would you want to use samba. just so that computers show up in network:/// ? [04:03] Hey :) Is there a possibility to disable the system speaker in ubuntu without unplugging it from the mainboard? [04:03] Titan8990: feh :) [04:03] usser: Oh, hm well thats not really a big deal since it would only be open when I'm using it. But i might just use an ftp client instead [04:03] usser: Just for more seamless integration with my system [04:03] ScottG489: what exactly are you trying to do, if you don't mind me asking [04:03] does chroot behave differently in ubuntu [04:04] devilsF00d, AFAIK dhclient is the only thing that's supposed to request DHCP addresses. version of ubuntu? [04:04] !FUSE [04:04] FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [04:04] usser: So i dont need to do all this fancy stuff to put files on it [04:04] im having trouble finding an example of chroot to help me learn it [04:04] anyone know the command to find out what channels a person is on IRC? [04:04] WageofSin: /whois [04:04] juken: Thank you [04:04] asprinkmeier: had to run ps it is called dhclient3 on my system [04:04] ScottG489, ftp or ssh, ssh is really great. seamless integration is easily achieved by mounting remote share to a local filesystem with sshfs [04:04] ScottG489, that way remote folder would appear as if it was local [04:04] aye, <3 sshfs [04:04] I burned three movies for my kids using k9copy. Two movies work great but one movies doesnt play. I tryed burning it twice. I can play it in VLC, anyone know whats going on? [04:05] usser: Well for my server I could really put anything on it. Eventually when I get time to, i would be transfering files over to it for my website. That would probably be the peak of its usage [04:05] ScottG489, ssh is really enough for that [04:05] Droop: get dvdsanta [04:05] usser: oh, hm, i wasnt aware you could mount other fs like that [04:06] ScottG489: you can either use sshfs, scp, sftp, and from gnome you can do: Places -> Connect to Server -> SSH Server [04:06] what do i do if xorg bugs out and everything starts flickering? [04:06] wait... it stopped [04:06] ScottG489, you can mount pretty much any network protocol on linux, samba, ssh, nfs, even ftp [04:06] meoblast: reconfigure it? [04:06] juken: no... i think it was because i was closing WINE.... it just did it for a very long time though [04:06] meoblast: ah =P [04:06] usser: I guess that would work better [04:07] usser: That works for external ip's too? [04:07] juken: my system is screwed though.... between it having no CD drive, no harddisk space, and a broken DPKG, it's RIP time [04:07] meoblast: sounds like a good time to me ;) [04:07] juken: yes.... and the rest of the hardware isn't even worth buying a new CD drive [04:07] juken: it's a laptop where the CD drive costs 50 dollars... take it or leave it [04:07] ScottG489, yea if you setup port forwarding on your router, just a single port 22, you can mount it from anywhere in the world [04:08] usser: I like [04:08] usser: except china, god damn that great firewall of china ;) [04:08] no, kidding. [04:08] hahaha [04:08] usser, most U.S. ISPs block port 22 [04:08] Titan8990: that's not true at all [04:08] <_Whipper> 2GB usb-flsh cost about.. 5dollars?

[04:11] usser: Ok, well i guess this kinda solves my other smaller problem indirectly. But I also have a printer that I just set up. I can't connect it to my router but its connected to my PC downstairs via a USB, how can I connect to that? [04:11] ScottG489: share it out from the computer it's connected to [04:11] ScottG489, depending on the model of the printer, you'll need samba and cups to share it [04:12] crdlb thanks [04:12] usser, samba is not needed [04:12] usser, cups alone is enough [04:12] Titan8990: if it's being shared out over SMB? [04:12] Titan8990, cups still shares it through samba, no? [04:13] sprinkmeier: so far so good... [04:13] juken, usser why is smb even in question? [04:14] Titan8990: afaik if a windows machine shares out a printer, it's doing so over SMB. [04:14] juken, I thought he said earlier his computer downstairs was running linux... [04:15] Titan8990: I wasn't here earlier when he said so [04:15] Titan8990: sorry =/ [04:15] I suppose I shouldn't have made the assumption it was running windows. =P [04:15] if that's not the case, cups will do just fine by itself indeed. [04:15] like you said [04:15] juken, Titan8990 oh is it, i wasnt here ethier [04:16] devilsF00d, OK... any more junk now that dhclient3 is dead? [04:16] usser, juken pretty sure, abut only ScottG489 can verify [04:16] ScottG489: is the downstairs computer running windows or linux? [04:16] ScottG489: that the printer is connected to [04:16] ok anyway, i have a crush on my bestfriend, which is dangerous territory i know..well they asked whom i liked...well i said so-and-so just to get my friend off my back...well then i retracted my statement and my best friend is going out with so-and-so a week later...whats your thoughts on this?

[04:16] or use another programing language.. for animations [04:16] sprinkmeier: nope... looks like the killall was the key to solving but what happens when I reboot? [04:17] jamesjr meant to say that in #defocus [04:17] MITM: h4x, don't man in the middle me plz. :) [04:18] juken you're the funnyfunny man? [04:18] MITM: the funniest [04:18] devilsF00d, if you don't plan on needing dhcp, then just uninstall dhclient [04:18] hmm [04:18] juken I can admit I did smile a little bit you funny man [04:18] hehe, excellent [04:18] juken: yea its running linux [04:19] does anyone know of a way to have 2 different docks working for gnome and kde? is this possible? [04:19] juken: everything is right now [04:19] !cups | ScottG489 [04:19] ScottG489: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [04:19] ScottG489: you should be able to share it out through cups like Titan8990 said [04:19] i mean.. is there any app for linux that can do the same has dreamweaver? [04:19] Titan8990: yeah I guess that is the best option thanks [04:19] nvu works well if you can find it [04:19] dreamy: thankfully no [04:20] dreamy: it used to be available at nvu.com [04:20] !nvu [04:20] kompozer is a WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project. It is available in !Universe on !Gutsy and later releases. [04:20] cajun: what about cool things like animations etc etc it does it too ? [04:20] dreamy, I have heard dreamweaver makes messy code [04:20] lol [04:20] no idea [04:20] if you shift delete a file is it possible to restore that file? [04:20] at all? [04:20] i believe so. it's set up the same way [04:20] racecar56, no easy way [04:20] what about funn stuff.. about web desing ? motions .. etcc [04:20] juken: yea im checking into that now to see how it works [04:21] i've played around with both and did'nt really see much of a distance. [04:21] dreamy, there are plenty of IDEs for html, php, and etc [04:21] difference....not distance [04:21] whats IDEs [04:21] dreamy: try bluefish, other people seem to like it [04:21] ?

[04:23] what about something replacing flash ? [04:23] something similar [04:23] the top is easy, the base, not so much [04:23] juken: crumbly [04:23] ScottG489: exactly, and I don't want to get my hands all grossed up [04:23] if im using apt-get -f , is that the correct command to force install a pkg? [04:23] dreamy, everything that is done in flash can be done in other languages, but there isn't a point and click kind of thing like flash [04:23] dreamy: saying as there is no full free implementation of flash, there are no real creators [04:23] juken: i think i found my printer [04:24] !ming [04:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about ming [04:24] ok.. ty for the info all [04:24] dreamy: np, gl === guest__ is now known as guest_007 [04:24] does anyone know if one could use two different docks or compositing apps for gnome and kde? === guest_007 is now known as Rebbe [04:25] cajun: are you asking if in either gnome or kde you can just run two seperate dock applications at the same time? [04:25] cajun, pretty sure gnome-sessions won't carry over to kde and vice-versa [04:25] no. two separate sessions. [04:25] ah =/ [04:26] Man rage face with ipod touch and ubuntu [04:26] gRunt: blame apple \o/ [04:26] cuz I'm aware of issues w/ awn in kde and also compiz in kde [04:26] How do I force apt-get install a package? [04:26] I ended up making 7 partitions. The first two as expected are /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2. The next 4 logical partitions are /dev/sda5 ... /dev/sda8. Then following these is another logical partition, /dev/sda3. This is the order I created them in. Why does sda3 follow sda5-8? And how does the bootloader with (hda0,2) now I refer too /dev/sd3 (as opposed to /dev/sda5 which is the third partition)? [04:26] wow i cant beleive this whole time it was as easy as going to Places > connect to a server to get remote folders like this.... [04:26] demi: force? [04:27] I want to force install libplasma2 [04:27] ScottG489: good stuff, eh? [04:27] Errr, /dev/sda3 is primary sorry.

[04:27] juken: now i understand why all of you were so confused before [04:27] ScottG489: =P [04:27] juken, oh im not saying its anyone elses fault but ive been trying for 3 days to get it working natively and all the tutorials turn up nil for me.

[04:41] juken: i'm going to be tired tomorrow [04:41] meoblast001: it's 12:41 and I'm at work [04:41] the settings manager is to enable/disable all the effects and stuff it makes things much much easier.

[04:42] bcog depends [04:42] well i reformatted bedcause i thought i got hacked, so this is very bad [04:42] i chose the "format" checkmark option [04:42] I had compz working great in ubuntu using gnome, ccsm made stuff so much easier, simple ccsm is nice too. [04:42] i have OPERA with flashplayer plug-in and it works fine!!! [04:42] bcog: sometimes it will keep your userdata if it can detect it [04:42] bcog: no /home partition?

[04:44] i have yet to fix its updates lol [04:44] bcog: well, not formatting /home would not remove it [04:44] Does anyone get better battery life in Ubuntu than on Windows? [04:44] bcog: how do you know you got hacked? :) [04:44] sir_yodle1, hey I figured it out thanks for your help! [04:44] racecar56, I had my mom up and running with RHEL, so I don't take that 'linux is complicated' mess [04:44] not that formatting actually removes data [04:44] bruce89, i did format all the drives but swap [04:44] juken, i don't know for sure, but highly suspect [04:44] If tyou are using gnome, it should be under system> preferants or administration... I forget exactly but you will find it in there. [04:44] xTheGoat121x: its pretty much the same for me [04:44] halycon: woo hoo I helped someone! haha enjoy [04:44] xTheGoat121x, Yes with xfce or fluxbox and careful moderation of x modules [04:44] xTheGoat121x its 100% longer [04:44] xTheGoat121x: maybe a little better [04:44] bruce89, if someone hacked my computer and i reformatted.... am i pretty safe? [04:44] demi: you got it, I skimmed right over it earlier. dummy! [04:44] bcog: run rkhunter [04:44] Also Make sure to enable desktop effects, but compizconfig should enable that with a custom option automagically. [04:44] (Thinkpad T42, pretty basic config with compiz) [04:44] xTheGoat121x for me its SO MUCH better, it ran vista and the second i unplug cord it dies, no kidding [04:44] juken, i did [04:44] xTheGoat121x, but if you run gnome and have beryl or whatever it's called turned on all the time, god no. :P [04:45] bcog: you should be fine, tbh. [04:45] bcog: I don't think it could be "hacked" [04:45] ohzie: compiz itself doesnt effect battery life [04:45] ok bar time.. [04:45] ok bruce89 thanks [04:45] i'm trying to play a dvd and vlc, mplayer, and totem are not able to play it for various reasons. VLC doesn't even try playing, totem starts but then quits due to an error that states could not read from resource, while Mplayer plays the audio but mainly has a black screen with a couple of jarbled color blocks. Any ideas as to what the problem is? [04:45] Interesting... I've noticed about the same, but I was just wondering if there were simple ways of improving it. [04:45] ohzie: its if the gfx card has to be activated to process the renderings... [04:45] Is the Jaunty Alpha 3 version relatively stable? [04:45] Cpudan80, and without the 3d capabilities it enables, it's a sub-par window manager imo, so no reason to use it. :P [04:46] Maybe missing Codecs? [04:46] scream: alpha 3? [04:46] scream it works nice for me, a4 is current, and according to ubuntu, no [04:46] demi: what's with the odd completion?

My laptop is running way to hot and I can't even tell the fan is on. I know the fan works as it comes on under windows just fine.

[04:49] hmmm....that might help [04:49] thanks! [04:49] for some reason i can only run in safe graphics mode if I try to run in another mode its just a black screen [04:50] What is a subnet mask? [04:50] ScottG489: erm... lol =P [04:50] is there some way I can run the special effects in safe graphics mode [04:50] ScottG489: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnetwork [04:50] im just messing around with my printers network settings and its asking for a subnet mask [04:50] no help anyone? [04:50] i think ill just enter the default [04:50] ScottG489: try 255.255.255.255 [04:51] ScottG489: It determines how many bits in the IP address are the network portion and how many bits are the local portion [04:51] mine is 255.255.255.0 [04:51] 255.255.255.0 is very common [04:51] *very* common [04:51] juken: why do you say .255 at the end? [04:51] Aviator15_, No [04:51] can someone explain the rationale behind not having a "root" account in debian distros? [04:51] juken: is wrong [04:51] o lol [04:51] the user account ends up having the same password [04:51] 255..... is not valid [04:51] it doesnt make sense [04:51] well I guess it is [04:52] Cpudan80: too many 255's, sorry, multitasking [04:52] for a single entity that talks to nobody 255..... would be valid ;-) [04:52] heh [04:53] * bruce89 was hacked by 127.0.0.1 [04:53] hacked by the localhost!

[04:53] juken: is it my routers address? [04:53] 192.168.1.1 is a good guess ;-) [04:53] =P [04:54] ScottG489: yep, router's address for default gw, dhcp server, dns server ... [04:54] ScottG489: yea, that's what you want [04:54] in most case [04:54] ok [04:54] 192.168.1.255 for broadcast [04:54] 192.168.1.0 for loopback [04:54] 255.255.255.0 for submask [04:54] that should cover you I think ;-) [04:55] demi: WHOA there's so much stuff in this config-manager!!!!

This is a channel for support, not goofing around. [05:53] So does anyone know whether my having deleted the content of /.recently-used.xml will cause any problems? [05:53] mib_h3jnuq9k: The error suggests either that mysqld is starting with different user credentials (the error said "One can only use the --user switch if running as root") or the InnoDB database it is referring to is not in the standard location (/var/lib/mysql/) [05:53] i can tell [05:53] hi there [05:53] when i got the kick [05:53] joejc18: http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi Walks you through it really well [05:53] is there a way to use an iso file from hard disk instead of burning it to a disk. i just want to run the program from the disk image, is this possible? [05:53] Could someone tell how to change the display resolution via terminal? [05:54] Socrates: it won't. That file is just a list of files you opened recently; it's regenerated automatically. [05:54] flukes ill try [05:54] display resolution is a nightmare [05:54] !iso | salmon [05:54] salmon: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [05:54] This problem is getting annoying, as It keeps happening, even after a clean install [05:54] salmon: use ^^ to mount it, and run the program from there. [05:54] Somehow the display resolution is too big and I can't see the edges [05:54] salmon: install gmountiso [05:54] But, rww, when I open new documents and things, I go back to check and the file is still empty. [05:54] bye [05:54] please anyone [05:55] Of course, /.recent-used.xbel is updated as I open and close things. [05:55] weird theres absolutely nothing in the file flukes1 [05:55] BadRobot are u using a loptop [05:55] ? [05:55] actually the file doesnt even exist [05:55] it says new file on bottom [05:55] guys, Please help me, I have Homework That I wont be able to get done until this is fixed [05:55] mib_h3jnuq9k: it might be /etc/mysql/my.cnf [05:55] could anybody here help me with a problem with my network-manager and netmasks?

I'm trying to get microphone input through wine to work. All of my sound playback works, and I can capture microphone input outside of wine, but not using applications with it. I'm using PulseAudio (ubuntu ibex). I've tried various methods to get it to work, but so far nothing. one more note: The PulseAudio Applet recording volume meter still catches the input even though the... [05:57] ...wine apps don't. does anybody have some insight as to what might be wrong? [05:57] So, on my system, /.recently-used.xbel works while /.recently-used.xml does not do anything at all?? [05:57] Socrates: different programs seem to use different recently-used files. I guess you're just not using a program that uses the .xml one. [05:57] mib_h3jnuq9k: you've copied the first 19 lines of the file but nothing else [05:57] My Ubuntu PC is having issues, 9 tims out of ten, when I boot, I hang,but it boots fine by going in through the recovery console [05:57] guys, Please help me, I have Homework That I wont be able to get done until this is fixed [05:57] Oh, thanks for that. I didn't realise. [05:57] could anybody here help me with a problem with my network-manager and netmasks? [05:57] Socrates: again, it'll regenerate itself, don't worry about it :) [05:57] mib_h3jnuq9k: you might want to use use gedit rather than nano [05:57] Yes, thanks, I'm just not familiar with this sort of thing. [05:57] IntuitiveNipple : it says total 0 [05:58] mib_h3jnuq9k: ok, that's good... nothing left from a stray/defunct process [05:58] guys :s [05:58] flukes1: yeah idk i used pico [05:58] NDS: without more detail nobody is going to be able to help === lon is now known as Guest31202 [05:58] !helpme > NDS [05:58] NDS, please see my private message [05:58] could anybody here help me with a problem with my network-manager and netmasks? [05:58] please [05:58] rww, im not sure how to word this un-noobishly, but what does it mean by mount point? like is that the path to the file? [05:59] Yes I tried Cremona [05:59] appocc: what's the issue exactly? [05:59] mib_h3jnuq9k: have a look in that config file, see if you can tell where it's dumping its log files [05:59] I dont know how to give anymore detail than that :s, My pc has the mouse go up, then i dissapears and either hangs or takes 5 minutes tol load, then I can go in the recovery console and it boots fine. [05:59] This is a useful service. Thank you! [05:59] Bye! [05:59] salmon: mount point is where you are going to access the device from [05:59] salmon: Windows uses "drive letter", like C: or D: to access drives. Linux just pins them to the file system. E.g., if you insert a CD-ROM, you can access it from /media/cdrom/, which is its "mount point" [05:59] flukes1: the one u asked me to post? [06:00] salmon: for example, mkdir ~/mountpoint [06:00] mib_h3jnuq9k: yea [06:00] salmon: then you can: mount /dev/blah ~/mountpoint [06:00] i have to go to bed now... bye every1, and have success every1! :> [06:00] salmon: you'd want to make a new directory and specify that as the mountpoint, in this case :) [06:00] rww, thank you [06:00] flukes1: ok let me try lol im totally new to ubuntu serve ri got it installed and everything fine yeah let me see [06:00] juken, thank you [06:00] salmon: np [06:00] ewew [06:01] flukes1: do i need to edit /etc/mysql/debian.cnf and put socket? [06:01] Shall I give more details? I get no errors when that whole big thing of numbers and stuf runs down in the console, and when I choose restart it works, but Shut down sseems not to as often [06:01] how 2 install yahoo messenger 2 ubunto [06:01] mib_h3jnuq9k: er no i don't think so [06:01] does anyone have any insight as to how I might get my mic to work through wine with pulseaudio? all the sounds work, and it picks up sound everywhere else, it just won't do it in wine. [06:02] NDS: what's the issue? [06:02] My computer hangs on reboot [06:02] NDS: which command are you using to reboot? [06:02] The little button in the corner [06:02] does it give any error message on the screen? [06:02] flukes1: i think this is all of the file i mean if you dont see where it's dumping it i have no clue this is all tahtw as in the file [06:03] hi whats the easypeasy irc room/ [06:03] ? [06:03] mib_h3jnuq9k: you mean those 19 lines? nah if you continue scrolling down it should reveal more [06:03] here let me retry [06:03] no it gives no errors, it shhuts down fine, turns on, looks like its going to boot, and takes 5 minutes to, or not at all [06:04] NDS: so the hanging is on start up rather than shutdown? [06:04] Yes [06:04] ohh yeah there is more my bad lol [06:04] I don't get why it works in the recovery console, but not the main way [06:05] cos you have sometyhing u havent fixed nds [06:05] Like what? [06:05] what is the main QT deb i have to download to get the whole suite? [06:05] I see no erros, nothig at all, how can I fix something? [06:05] hmmmz [06:06] what was the last thing u installed /changed dns [06:06] I only stumbled upon the recovery thing by accident [06:06] nds /\ [06:06] It doesnt matter, Idid a clean install, still happened [06:07] juken: man, could u help me?? [06:07] Ok my sony vaio laptop is overheating because the CPU fan isn't kicking on. How do I fix this? google only turned up results to make the fan quieter, I don't have that problem obliviously. I've already tried lm-sensors, no dice. [06:07] im kinda desesperated right now [06:07] My computer is always on anyway, so its not to big of a deal, but it may be one symptom of a bigger issue [06:07] appocc: PM me with the issue [06:07] !ask > appocc [06:07] appocc, please see my private message [06:07] NDS: does the problem happen after grub [06:07] flukes1: any idea how i can copy all of this?

[06:08] echosystm: yes [06:09] ok ill try that [06:10] hmm i found where the log is but when i go into the log theres nothing there [06:10] alanbshepard70: what are the consequences of the overheating? crash?

[09:19] ext3? [09:19] Ok, what isn't supported? PPC or MythTV on PPC? [09:19] and make "/home" ext3 as well? [09:19] ext3 is safe [09:19] ?

It appears I was wrong earlier, it was indeed an alsa setting (sound card port) that was muted. In my defense however, the port works when it is muted (MM), which is completely and utterly fucked up (hey I've been using alsa since linux 2.6.0). Anyway sorry for the outburst [09:22] -pokes tongue [09:22] alright guys i think im on my way [09:22] thanks so much for the help [09:22] Its says that i've installed the shockwave player.. why cant use? [09:22] much appreciated [09:22] thanks. [09:23] Provant, most languages will have their own channel on the network. php is in ##php for example [09:23] jester: i am just glad it works for you!

To run it under !Wine, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave [09:24] cant install shockwave [09:24] jester, we prefer to keep bad language out of our channels too [09:25] coopcooper: we were all there at one time [09:25] ahh time, it just keeps on slippin [09:25] KingWilliam: does the new icon have to be a certain size? [09:25] elky: "bad language" is very subjective culture-dependant [09:25] alin: you need flash? [09:26] jester: wut? [09:26] jester: Oh I forget what we are toalking about :P [09:26] no [09:26] i need shockwave [09:26] :( [09:26] jester: No it doesn't matter for so far as I remember [09:26] I just installed fglrx and now I have no gui. <.< fglrx-uninstall doesn't work either. Any other way I can uninstall it? [09:26] how i uninstall wine [09:26] jester, you know what i mean. [09:26] then i wan reinstall it [09:26] alin: to do what? [09:26] hi there, will I break anything if I uninstall the keyring manager from ubuntu? [09:27] correction Mythbuntu? [09:27] i want install shockwave in ubuntu [09:27] i wrongly installed wine without mozplugger [09:27] alin: to do what? [09:27] Quibbler: I want to know if you found any ways for me to compile for PPC? [09:27] ? [09:27] so now i want uninstall wine [09:27] Is there a way to optimize ubuntu to a specific system or is it already optimized for say a computer with a intel dual core p8600 [09:27] and reinstall it with mosplugger [09:27] Alex_21: no [09:28] alin: I don't think you need to reinstall wine for that [09:28] alin: mozplugger has nothing to do with wine [09:28] First, install the wine and mozplugger packages (for information on how to do this, see InstallingSoftware). <-- i found this line in ubuntu help page [09:28] to install shockwave [09:29] KingWilliam: when I edit firefox.dekstop I see this: Icon=firefox-3.0 ... should I change that to the path of my new icon? [09:29] sprockets: other than using amd64 instead of x86, there's not much to do. with x86, the -generic kernel will still do SMP (multi-core) and things like SSE can still be used [09:30] azlon: You made a perfect discovery there [09:30] crdlb: Thanks [09:31] nice... no one cares about my prob... ?? [09:31] crdlb: In you opinion is ubuntu 64 ready to be a desktop os right now or is the software support currently lacking? I used it once and had some issues with Flash and usb drivers but that was awhile ago [09:31] alin: http://mozplugger.mozdev.org/documentation.html [09:32] sprockets: there is a 64bit flash now, I believe === drostie is now known as drostie|dreams === drostie|dreams is now known as drostie [09:32] sprockets: it depends on what you're doing with it too; if you're encoding video, you'll see significant improvements [09:33] Quibbler: I found some tidbits. [09:33] then why my shockwave didnt worked [09:33] I'll try it tommorrow [09:33] Good night [09:33] KingWilliam: awesome! thanks!

[09:36] I'm running a mailscanner on 8.04 LTS, I'm getting false positives due to an out-of-date Spamassassin [09:36] I have a wlan0 on my laptop, and I just configured wpa_supplciant with a nice conf file. It all should work, but when running wpa_supplicant on the interface and configuration it fails: it cannot bring up wlan0. "ifconfig wlan0 up" Also fails. What I can do is "iwconfig wlan0 essid foobarsomewthing". and iwconfig then also reports the essid set. [09:36] Is this a firmware problem?

[10:22] and sometimes network-manager gave me internet too [10:22] i dun get any error at all. a just can navigate [10:23] and a dun know why [10:23] appocc: try wifi-radar. the fact that scanning shows APs is great, thats the hard bit done [10:23] i think its another thing.. itsnt wicd or network-manager. but another thing [10:23] wo0f yes as AP posted there is a matapackage, and i just locked down the menu items i didnt want accessable, and the menu, fluxes menu is quite easy to edit [10:23] appocc: try a reboot maybe [10:23] actually my wireless cant act like a dhcp client and i dun know why [10:23] i rebooted like 5000000 times [10:23] so i need to fix ip on it [10:24] macrobad: you are a hero :) Just converted the id3 tags of 1.7GB of mp3's [10:24] but i cant connecr anyway === macsim is now known as macsimlap [10:24] koshari: so how do i go about locking down flux's menu?

[10:25] appocc: using a wired link to get updated can make things work great [10:25] this is the other thing i think the error itsnot on hardware or wicd or network-manager, cause when i plug the ethernet cable, it try to connect but cant get ip [10:25] still a shame I can't read russian, but at least I can make something of the artist names [10:25] :) [10:26] yah. but its forced [10:26] appocc: then set a unique static ip that falls within your subnet and update that way [10:26] i would like to work on it like a normal windows dhcp client [10:26] appocc: once updated you could then switch back to dhcp to see if dhcp succeeds [10:26] this is already set [10:26] SmokeyD: Hehe, use translate.google.com or your friends to read it. After all, it's not that difficult to learn the language yourself. =) [10:26] man.. im already on static [10:27] cause i gave up of dhcp [10:27] wo0f i also made the default gdm login the flux account that was limited.

[10:31] appocc: then i'd try getting that working first [10:31] then flush iptables and all routes [10:32] flush?? [10:32] appocc: if you havent added any rules, they will be fine [10:32] halo [10:32] man.. u see.. when i was using network-manager, it just couldnt save my netmask [10:32] ae [10:32] appocc: do you use any wifi security?

[10:36] appocc: i would also try to get your ethernet working as it will require less complexity to get connected with a wire [10:37] appocc: you will get a stock one, but renaming allows us to retain the file [10:37] mand... my hardware is workin... i can connect.. i can see all wireless AP´s here.. its ok [10:38] appocc: the interfaces file can hold some config, if you reboot and get nothing you can rename it back [10:38] appocc: its a simple test [10:38] ok... ill do it righ now [10:38] brb [10:39] appocc: you could also delete any config you have for wifi to strip down any settings, you should also wipe out the WPA config too so you have a clean setup which you can re-establish [10:39] appocc: you could try connecting without the WPA turned on, just to see if that is the issue [10:39] appocc: you need to take all complexity out and then slowly build up to see where your setup is falling over === freenode is now known as Guest14653 [10:41] man.. but cant u see... hardware is working, drivers is working fine... it already gave me connections ... and two wireless softwares worked and gave the same error [10:41] its another thing.. another configuration on ubuntu [10:41] something elementar to both softwares, to both interfaces [10:42] appocc: its possible your adapter cant use wpa under linux [10:43] MAN, arent u reading me??

[10:46] I overlooked the confirm screen too [10:46] try disabling wpa to see if you can connect and if dhcp succeeds [10:46] no.. i cant [10:46] i already told u that [10:47] that was a real puzzle to solve [10:47] appocc: delete is very hard to get back with ext3, if yuo rename and you want the file back its very easy to rename back [10:47] appocc: why not? [10:47] i can connect only if i give my own ip, netmask, gateway and dns [10:47] appocc: then is everything fine and works 100%? [10:48] no...

[10:49] appocc: its a different OS [10:49] and u think if i turn my hub off will change something on linux? [10:49] appocc: if you wont turn of WPA to check you can connect without WPA then i have no further advise [10:50] i already did it [10:50] and just didnt worked [10:50] then try a wired connection and get that rolling [10:50] i tried too.. i already told u too [10:50] then you can getupdates. If you have a fresh install of intrepid your system is hugely out of date [10:50] im teling u man, listen to me [10:51] * edgex-_ sighs [10:51] did somebody think of making synaptic not locking apt until it actually performs actions? [10:51] after you disabled wpa, did you form a new connction on ubuntu or try the same one you were trying before? === elad is now known as elad`` [10:51] the hardware is ok, and the authentication too cause i can connect, and sometimes even navigate like this evening, i just download all updates for intrepid [10:51] but it stoped to work again [10:51] How do I see what ports are open, from the command line? [10:51] erle-: it locks it to protect them [10:51] and i didng change anything [10:52] ActionParsnip, of course [10:52] I mean, how do I see what TCP connections are open? [10:52] its something more elementar.. something like iptables or routes [10:52] appocc: then if it starts working randomly off and on ten i would try the router off and on [10:52] ActionParsnip, but that makes no sense if i am just browsing [10:52] erle-: true enough, i get what you mean [10:52] ok.. 10 minutes down and i restart it right? [10:53] ActionParsnip, she should protect it only, when an action is performed [10:53] <_Linuxx_> elad`` netstat -lt --numeric-ports [10:53] appocc: sounds logical, if you havent set any firewall rules or routes it wont be those things [10:53] I am testing wireless irc :) [10:53] erle-: submit a bug and then you'll get an email saying "is this a bug or suggestion" [10:54] i didnt... but i dun know how connections config comes in intrepid, and im just starting with linux [10:54] I have a HDA-intel audio driver and my jack microphone refuses to work. [10:54] other day i just discovered that one thing was fuckin me was firefox proxy configuration [10:54] Sound card is Realtek HD Audio [10:55] so i turned it off and got a little time online wwith ubuntu [10:55] hey... could u tell me google IP??

[10:57] erle-: nice [10:57] erle-: keep an eye on it and bump it occasionally [10:57] Help would be good. [10:57] I read the documentation, and it said it supports it, but there doesn't seem to be a way to graphically sort by the TPE2 tag, spec the Album Artist tag [10:58] And I looked at Amarok, and it doesn't seem to be support for that tag either in the media library. [10:58] after apt-get install LBM [10:58] how to use it? [10:58] ActionParsnip, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/165064 [10:58] The_Joe_: make sure all levels are maxed and unmuted [10:58] Done that.

[11:01] appocc: there will be a newer ndiswrapper on the repos [11:01] ActionParsnip, The default - and hang on just testing it [11:01] The_Joe_: i dont use gnome, so i dont know what the default is [11:01] ActionParsnip, It's just called "Volume Control" [11:02] ActionParsnip: but the driver works fine man... this is not the problem...

I solved most of them but network manager still doesn't work with WEP encrypted wlans. I monitored the wireless events with "iwevent": The card correctly sets the key and associates to the network. However, after that it seems to timeout and the interface does not get an IP address using dhcp. If I shut down network manager and do everything manually (i.e. using iwconfig and dhclient [11:14] 3) is works just fine without any problems. [11:15] What card do you have?

My interfaces file just contains the settings for the lo interface. Neither ethernet not wireless lan is configured there in any way [11:17] is there a way to easily undo recent config changes? or would I need something like Acronis TrueImage to do a good job of it?

[11:19] whats that? [11:19] Uhm, Slight problem, I turned off Windows decorations in compiz in an attempt to save a few cycles. Turns out that's what makes the title bars. I turned it back on, but now the title bars are above my window. How can I get my windows to slide back down? === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [11:19] I use gnome [11:19] <_Cavalier> What's the best channel to go to for help with Compiz? [11:20] learn_again: ufw (8) - program for managing a netfilter firewall [11:20] learn_again, you think that's an issue... turns out the latest Ibex update has a kernel compiled with gcc version Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu11, but the gcc in the latest update is Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu12 [11:20] _Cavalier: This one. [11:20] #compiz-fusion _Cavalier [11:20] Lunks: and gufw is a graphical frontend to that [11:20] seems to be causing all sorts of module version problems when I installed the Cisco VPN client! [11:21] <_Cavalier> I'm using Compiz with the desktop cube and the cube is unfolded so that I can see all my workspaces spread out as thumbnails. Now its stuck and I can't "zoom" back in to a workspace. Is there a hotkey to close that viewing mode? [11:21] how can I add a webdav drive? === Aron is now known as Aron_ [11:22] ActionParsnip, hmm, maybe that will work. I'll try it [11:22] _Cavalier: +E ? [11:22] <_Cavalier> macrobad, Let me try that. [11:23] ta_bu_shi_da_yu:lbex?

Unfortunately its not working. A popup came up when I was "zoomed" out and I'm not sure what happened but I can't zoom back in. Maybe the popup stole the focus or something? [11:25] I have been banned from a car forum. How do I change my isp so i can re join? [11:25] is there some way to turn off system beep on shell autocompletion error? [11:25] Carstairs, change ISP? just cancel and get another [11:25] or change your ip [11:25] _Cavalier: try pressing Alt+Tab in order to get the focus out away from the popup. In worst case you can kill compiz from a CLI, and restart it [11:25] thow im new to this [11:25] mchelen: you can kill system beep all together with sudo rmmod pcskpr [11:25] IP doubt theyve banned your entire isp [11:26] its not for gcc [11:26] its for ath5k [11:26] Carstairs, when you say forum, do you mean IRC channel? and what did you do to get banned? [11:26] ziroday, "ERROR: Module pcskpr does not exist in /proc/modules" [11:27] <_Cavalier> macrobad, Tried alt+tab with no luck. Tried to get into a terminal with ctrl+alt+f5 but no response. [11:27] ziroday, oh pcspkr, thanks! [11:27] mchelen: sorry type [11:27] no its a forum not an irc channel [11:28] got banned for sugesting they where into wife swapping [11:28] Carstairs, lol, well i imagine it's your IP and username that's bad, you'll have to change both [11:28] _Cavalier: It seems that something is wrong with your video card driver. Try killing the X server with Ctrl+Alt+BkSpc. If it works, then video drivers are ok. [11:29] how do i change ip? [11:29] #bash [11:30] oh, damn focus [11:30] <_Cavalier> macrobad, I will try that. [11:30] Carstairs, unless you have a fixed ip from your ISP, then you can usually just unplug your modem and reconnect whereby youll get a new ip [11:31] no it must be fixed then as I have tried that [11:31] do you pay for a fixed ip? [11:31] no [11:31] go to whatismyip.com [11:31] before and after [11:31] bthomehub [11:31] ok [11:31] bthomehub, then you are most certainly getting a new ip [11:31] also this is nothing to do with ubuntu [11:32] i know but ubuntu are very helpful [11:32] hi everybody i have this problem.... i have a process that read from stdin (keyboard) but i don't know how ( scanf(), read() etc etc), now i fork, suppose that the the child is the process who wait for keyboard command all i want to do is to write the command from the parent process......how can i do that???? [11:32] Carstairs, you'll also need a new user account for the forum, i imagine theyve blocked your old one [11:33] how can I mount a WebDav folder? [11:33] yes i know but they have blocked ip and reject new applications from me [11:33] Carstairs, that is offtopic here [11:34] azlon: http://sysblogd.wordpress.com/2007/09/09/ubuntu-mounting-remote-filesystem-using-davfs2-fuse/ [11:34] azlon: i recall the 'fuse' homepage listing fuse 'filesystem' in a link. and i THINK they mentioned a webdav fuse item. [11:34] Carstairs, eventually you will get a new IP. [11:34] azlon: :) and ive no clue what webdav even is [11:35] yes sorry bazhang will go to ubuntu_offtopic [11:35] thanks c-s-b [11:35] lol [11:35] azlon: fuse is so.. :) nifty [11:35] its using a folder on your web server as a local folder [11:35] I don't know much about it either, trying to learn because it makes me happy in the pants [11:36] azlon: i normally use the sshfs stuff - again its part of the fuse things. [11:36] azlon: not sure why one would want to use webdav vs the sshfs, or other ways to do the same thing [11:36] azlon: In Ubuntu 8.04 you can connect to WebDAV from Places->Connect to Server. Is it what you're looking for? [11:37] Where is connect to server in netbook remix? I have an applet up top but this seems to have dissapeared [11:37] hello guys [11:37] dr_willis: Tomboy notes lets you syncronize notes across systems using WebDav... that's what im trying to start with [11:37] macrobad: awesome, thanks [11:37] how can I generate a md5 sum in linux from text ?

If apache2.2-common doesn't help, try this. [11:40] cojack: because it expects a file. This will work though: echo -n sometext | md5sum [11:40] macrobad: aptitude remove apache2 --purge [11:40] privet [11:40] jrib1: thanks [11:41] cojack: Yeah, either way.

[12:07] Ah, guys, what other large channels, where I could find advice with SSH, do you know? [12:07] BonezAU: Is anyone in the #ubuntu-mythtv channel? [12:07] apart from #linux [12:08] !paste [12:08] 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) [12:09] !tv | BonezAU [12:09] BonezAU: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux.
