[00:07] jrib1, thanks, although I still don't know what to do with the permissions without messing up everything permissions wise. Is it just to change the permission on the home directory it self (non-recursively) or is it changing my user's permissions? [00:07] ActionParsnip: will do thanks [00:07] ScottG489: it tells the machine to read ~/.bashrc among other things [00:07] bigrigger: no obvious errors. the video card happens to be a radeon in a random cheapie toshiba laptop, which might be it. last line contains "closed DRM master". there's also "leaving restore TV" just above that [00:08] lenswipe: ive not had the error before, a reboot may sort it (if a reboot is possible) [00:08] can someone please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [00:08] weatherkid: is your '!' key stuck? [00:09] lol [00:09] weatherkid: wassup [00:09] bigrigger: Yea when does it tell the machine that? Because it doesnt run on login or any time. I tried putting some aliases in there but they dont run [00:10] ActionParsnip: I need chance and kathy to have r/w permissions in a floder that im sharing with samba http://paste.ubuntu.com/132235/ [00:10] folder [00:10] ScottG489: put aliases in /home/$USER/.bashrc [00:10] i downloaded IRSSI, and tried instructions to install it (./configure , make) and.. it won't "make". [00:10] what can i do in that case? [00:10] xD [00:11] Time`s_Witness: irssi is in the repositories. Use APT [00:11] bigrigger: And anything else that I want to run on login? [00:11] i used :s [00:11] Time`s_Witness: you used ":s"? What is ":s"? [00:11] ScottG489, or you can make an .bash_alias file and call to that from your .bashrc file [00:11] heldburgen: you might try modprobe radeon or lsmod |grep radeon, i think its a video probem [00:11] weatherkid: then add writable = yes [00:11] lol. a smile. xD I used apt-get install IRSSI [00:11] can anyone here please help me with this: dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed. [00:11] Time`s_Witness: and what was the output?

[00:12] weatherkid: if you use sudo smbpasswd -a chance [00:12] is it case sensitive? [00:12] ScottG489, put startup stuff in sessions [00:12] ScottG489, hold [00:13] Time`s_Witness: try and see [00:13] weatherkid: and make the smbpasswd identical to its login password, and then do the same for kathy then they will have to authenticate to get access and writability [00:13] hi [00:13] bigrigger: modprobe radeon returns nothing. lsmod | grep radeon returns 2 lines... radeon and drm [00:13] !hi | gueux [00:13] gueux: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:13] is there a way to define another shift+insert? (I'd like to have a shortcut with only one key) [00:13] jrib1, how about the "configure" command. did it put thrash in the system windows alike or just in the folder where some other stuff got extracted? [00:13] mrwes: I kinda feel like I should leave sessions to larger programs and graphical things not things I want for my terminal shell [00:13] ubottu: thanks :-) [00:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about thanks :-) [00:13] ScottG489, uncomment the the alias definition part in your .bashrc file [00:14] Time`s_Witness: just the folder [00:14] great =) [00:14] thanks! [00:14] ScottG489, ah...yah [00:14] heldburgen: then you are using the radeon driver [00:14] yea, apt-get is case sensitive. <.< [00:14] heldburgen: can you start an x session on boot yet [00:15] Hey i have problems with mysql the error is this: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [00:15] ActionParsnip: There is no writable option in SWAT [00:15] Help!

[00:16] doesnt irssi have graphic mode ? just terminal? :P [00:16] TheMusicGuy: try sudo apt-get update [00:16] Time`s_Witness, the gnome version does [00:16] bigrigger: lspci tells me i have an ati radeon xpress 200m. from a default boot x keeps trying to start over and over but not working, it looks like (keeps blanking the screen then dropping back to the command line) [00:16] can anyone here pretty please help me with this error? dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed.

[00:17] how can i access it vjacob2 please ? i mean, nothing appeared under applications menu..that i can see. i'm using ubuntu [00:17] in vi, just :s/regexp/replacement/ and it replaced one, how do i replace all matches? [00:17] yes, I have tried many things and haven't fixed it. its been like this a little after I upgrade to 8.10 [00:17] Time`s_Witness, try the package manager under settings [00:17] hello all [00:17] could someone tell me the default ubuntu font?

I have the drivers working, but if I move the computer from docking station to docking station (ie. home and work), it always starts with the external monitor turned off. When I had the vesa driver, it at least tried to find the best resolution for the current monitor...is there a way to fix this behaviour? [00:18] weatherkid: but update manager says there's still updates [00:18] Time`s_Witness, it may be called synoptics package manager, and it will allow you to install it if you search for irssi. I'd just install xchat if I were you however [00:18] heldburgen: are you running intrepid? you could run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in a terminal. [00:18] if I print to dpf with evince, where does the pdf pop out? [00:18] restored I ment [00:18] I have deleted the "tracker" entry in the startup applications manager. Can somebody paste me the command line [00:18] cwillu: what programming language would you recommend me for a fortune cookies application? [00:18] i have vjacob2 there already, i already installed irssi. im asking if irssi itself is just terminal mode, or graphic environment available, not installation :) [00:18] Hi guys....anybody here any good with fixing suspend problems? [00:18] LjL, this is a trick question, I just know it [00:18] *i have xchat there already [00:18] Time`s_Witness: irssi is terminal only [00:19] so anyone know the default font? [00:19] LjL, isn't it just flour, a little sugar, and water? [00:19] cwillu: *shrug* [00:19] * cwillu suggests python [00:19] TheMusicGuy: what that does is update apt so you won't (hopefully) won't get that error [00:19] ok! :) This can be fun then ! :D heh. thank you :) [00:19] if I print to dpf with evince, where does the pdf pop out? [00:19] * cwillu pokes LjL with a python [00:19] now update [00:19] Time`s_Witness: irssi.org [00:19] cwillu, keep it clean please! [00:20] how can i drop to command line if i'm inside the startup process or its trying to startup x? [00:20] weatherkid: update manager says there's several YEARS of downloading to do...then it fails. [00:20] Frijolie, there's history here :p [00:20] cwillu, ah, I see [00:20] heldburgen: recovery mode boot or root shell [00:20] thats all i got up my sleave. sorry [00:21] oh poo. [00:21] thanks anyway. [00:21] anyone else? [00:21] * weatherkid whacks myself for no reason [00:21] what kind of scripts does irssi run? *.sh? others proper from it? what else?

Something like tortoiseSVN, I know Bazaar, but it's a real headache when you don't use launchpad as your SVN server [00:26] which settings should i go for in dpkg-reconfigure?

There's rapidsvn. Do « apt-cache search subversion » [00:31] Akkernight, rapidSVN =) [00:31] tonsofpcs: awk '{if ($0 in lines) x=1; else print; lines[$0]=1}' in.file >out.file [00:32] bigrigger: same results from startx after dpkg-reconfigure in both recovery and default boot [00:32] I've tried rapidSVN, you can't rightclick and then choose checkout with it [00:32] if I print to dpf with evince, where does the pdf pop out?

[00:33] planetheroes: sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop [00:33] cause i'm having a problem with a program [00:34] thanks jrib1 [00:34] not operating correctly [00:34] program is rtorrent 0.8.4 [00:34] planetheroes: uh huh... Well « sudo iptables -L » will show you the rules you have set. Do you have any set? [00:34] planetheroes, define "not operating correctly" [00:34] doesn't connect to any trackers [00:35] and you're sure it's another program ? [00:35] so gnome uses only GTK and KDE uses QT? [00:35] XPS_M1330: that's basically true, however you can run kde apps under gnome and vice versa [00:35] sorry was that directed at me Fougner? [00:35] I mixx and match kde + gnome apps all the time. [00:35] planetheroes, yup [00:36] the program i was referring to was rtorrent. it can start, torrents can load [00:36] but it tries to connect to the tracker and times out [00:36] planetheroes, I assume your .rtorrent.rc is configured correctly =) [00:36] yeah [00:36] it's a good .rtorrent.rc - one i've used on other distros [00:36] !enter | planetheroes [00:36] planetheroes: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:36] sorry === DaemonDEB` is now known as DaemonDEB [00:37] planetheroes: did you see any iptables rules listed with the command I gave you?

[00:37] oh, sorry. yes i did. The port i have rtorrent listening on is 63035. my iptables -L shows: [00:37] ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:63035 [00:37] it just keeps trying and trying. [00:38] what tracker? =) [00:38] tried others? [00:38] IntuitiveNipple: sort | uniq -d works [00:38] planetheroes: iptables -F will flush the rules. You can see if that affects it [00:38] tonsofpcs: Yes, but that is because sort puts all similar lines together first. I asked you at the beginning about contiguous or random lines and as a result thought you wanted to maintain the lines in order [00:39] planetheroes, I'd like to see your config, can you pastebin it? [00:39] Anyone know how to get a broadband card working? [00:39] I have tried several trackers. and jrib1: i just tried that, same thing. Fougner will do right away. [00:39] planetheroes: not iptables then [00:40] Fougner: http://pastebin.com/d7370a13e [00:40] hi [00:40] IntuitiveNipple: right, but cp file temp && sort temp | uniq -d is still easier than awk for a text file [00:40] help please [00:41] planetheroes, why sessions in root? what user to run rtorrent? [00:41] also, sort | uniq doesn't modify the input file [00:41] haha yeah i know i was running in root for the time [00:41] hi my sudo isn't working and i dont know the root password, how do i make sudo work [00:41] i need to restore source.list file because y deleted it by error, my version its ubuntu 8.1 64 bits [00:41] dangerous =) [00:41] yeah i don't normally, i just compiled it and wanted to see if it worked [00:41] it says im not in the sudoers file [00:41] scott_: you need to reset your sudo password?

[00:50] cyberjorge: use ./filename and not filename [00:50] hobo: ethernet should just work, but wireless you can get issues, if you got rubbish wireless hardware, that isn't properly suppourted when it comes to Linux, because the manufactures coudn't be bothered to [00:50] Is there any fix for laggy flash playing in firefox ? Ubuntu 8.10 and hardware drivers activated. Compiz is turned off aswell. [00:51] Dreamglider: install Flash 10, upgrade your graphics chip [00:51] @sebsebseb- I had it working for over a year with no issues. Then after a standard reboot it quit working. [00:51] Dreamglider: yeah Ubuntu's unoffical version of Firefox can have issues with Flash and stuff like that, how about trying Flash in another browser, such as Epiphany or Galeon [00:51] I just installed Ubuntu on a Dell Dimension 2400. I log in and just get a black screen with a mouse. im dead, please, someone help me [00:51] sebsebseb I got into ubuntu 8.10 [00:51] keres: I don't think it's possible to know from any unix command, what is the output of dmesg | grep CPU [00:51] Dreamglider: they will use the same FLash that Firefox uses [00:51] I think you were chatting with me earlier? [00:51] Lord-Jynx: yeah [00:52] sebsebseb - I had to do a vga=771 and safe-mode vga during the install [00:52] I'm installing now [00:52] pHreaksYcle1: ok xorg issues by the sounds of it, damn :( [00:52] see how it works after a reboot.. haha [00:52] Akkernight, no reason why you can't access the file, but there's no way in hades that it's going to help. windows.h defines the windows API, which isn't available in ubuntu (unless you install wine or use a VM or something) [00:52] appears to be a bunch of non-working hardware in the new Mac Minis under Ubuntu [00:52] my current flash version is 10 [00:52] sebsebseb: well, suggestions of how to fix? [00:52] res22: http://pastebin.com/m428ad8b [00:53] Dreamglider: yep ok, now: sudo apt-get install galeon epiphany-browser [00:53] no sound, it won't reboot without a power cycle (but it'll halt just fine), bluetooth doesn't work [00:53] Dreamglider: then try in those [00:53] Is there a howto for fglrx in 8.10? The main page only has 8.04, but it's not working for me. [00:53] hey guys, any idea why when i click "install updates" from update manager it's not doing anything? [00:53] filed bugs in launchpad for all but the bluetooth so far [00:53] Yes, I wanna run my .exe with wine, but I get an error saying windows.h doesn't exsist... Should I config Code::blocks to search in my Windows partition? [00:54] anyone here uses HP L7590 printer? [00:54] windows.h is a header file [00:54] and running on Ubuntu [00:54] you are probably missing a .dll [00:54] Dreamglider: oh yeah epiphany might not add itself to the menu, but you can open it from terminal with epiphany-browser once installed [00:54] i wanted my system to wake up from the suspension mode only by a key stoke and not by mouse movement.. how can i change this [00:55] sebsebseb: alright ill give it a spin. [00:55] Akkernight, unless your .exe is a compiler I don't know what it wants with windows.h [00:55] It's quite frustrating. [00:55] Dreamglider: and I have my own issues with Flash or even the alternatives to the Flash player, in Ubuntu's Firefox, but it wil work good in those two other browsers [00:56] it wants windows.h 'cause it's included in the project, this is a DirectX game, running on the HGE engine [00:56] sebsebseb: do i need to install flash for the browser or does it use the same as firefox uses ? [00:56] Anyone know if there is a flash IDE for linux? [00:56] sebsebseb: if the expresscard has worked before for over a year and just recently stopped working, what can I do? [00:56] sebsebseb; you mean when it comes to flash, ephiphany is better?? [00:56] Anyone know what's going on with Hardy updates size mismatches? [00:56] keres: I think I got it, run grep flags /proc/cpuinfo | grep lm, if anything turns up, then your cpu _should_ be 64 bit [00:57] PerryArmstrong: yep probably, try for yourself [00:57] I just installed Ubuntu on a Dell Dimension 2400. I log in and just get a black screen with a mouse. im dead, please, someone help me [00:57] PerryArmstrong: also if a plugin goes bad in Firefox, the whole browser can screw up, but other browsers for Linux won't do that [00:57] Akkernight, you're compiling a DirectX game under wine so that you can run it in wine, but when you try to build it the IDE complains that windows.h is unavailable. did I get that right? [00:57] res22: http://pastebin.com/m7d17afa3 [00:57] Dreamglider: see the message I just put to the other guy as well [00:58] No, I compiled it in Visual Studio on Vista, now I want to start coding it in Ubuntu, is this possible? [00:58] sebsebseb: thankyou works fine :) even in fullscreen :) [00:58] sebsebseb; yes i do face those problems and i get frustrated, i suppose epiphany doesn't give such problems [00:58] keres: Supposedly the lm in flags means long mode which means it's a 64 bit cpu [00:58] PerryArmstrong: well look at what that guy just put :D [00:58] ActionParsnip: u there? [00:58] Akkernight, only with a cross-compiler. not sure it that's worth the effort though. hang on, do you want to port the game from windows to linux? [00:58] ActionParsnip: i still cant launch synaptic [00:58] PerryArmstrong: I prefer Galeon over Epiphany, but Epiphany is nice as well [00:58] !who | Akkernight [00:58] Akkernight: 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 :) [00:59] But you should try a 64 bit livecd anyway just to be sure [00:59] Dreamglider: see my message again to other guy [00:59] I just installed Ubuntu on a Dell Dimension 2400. I log in and just get a black screen with a mouse. im dead, please, someone help me [00:59] sebsebseb; what is Galeon's special [00:59] ActionParsnip: you said to web search i havent found anything u got any ideas? [00:59] PerryArmstrong: many good browsers for Linux === Vincent is now known as Guest37942 [00:59] res22: i see. i'll try the livecd 64 bit [00:59] res22: will the 64bit live cd tell you if you system is not 64bit? [01:00] pHreaksYcle1, version of ubuntu? does the live CD session work? [01:00] !tab No, I have just been working on a 2D game in Windows Vista, but now I wanna work on Ubuntu, Code::Blocks and all that, is this possible, or do I need to hang onto Windows? [01:00] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === jrib1 is now known as jrib [01:00] sebsebseb; i am gonna install Galeon and epiphany, can you tell me what plugins i should install [01:00] RIco, yes. it'll flatly refuse to boot on 32-bit systems [01:00] spinkmeier: 8.10. live session does NOT work, i used alternate cd [01:00] I hate IRC -.- [01:00] PerryArmstrong: I quite like Konqueror as well, but that uses a differnet rendering engine, and I am not sure about getting Flash to work there. also Mozilla Suite was before FIrefox, but Mozilla Suite didn't gain much market share, and so they made Firefox, and Mozilla Suite code stopped being suppourted by Mozilla, but it's code lives on as Seamonkey. Seamonkey is also good [01:00] sprinkmeier: ty [01:00] Anyone using 9.04? [01:00] sprinkmeier: 8.10. live session does NOT work, i used alternate cd [01:00] !jaunty | sprockets [01:00] sprockets: Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009, Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [01:00] PerryArmstrong: Galeon and Epiphany use the same Flash, that Firefox uses [01:01] Akkernight, I don't know what Code::Blocks is, NFI [01:01] PerryArmstrong: Seamonkey as well [01:01] Tbh I'm not sure, running "grep flags /proc/cpuinfo | grep lm" should tell you if your cpu is 64 bit though [01:01] sebsebseb; okk i am looking for a browser which doesn't give me any flash problems and is as good as firefox [01:01] pHreaksYcle1, is live CD does not work then HW is probably poorly supported. Can you boot into recover mode (i.e. text only)? video drivers are a likely source of problems. [01:01] PerryArmstrong Dreamglider for browser marketshare reasons it would probably be best to browse the web with Firefox most of the time, by the way [01:01] Flash IS the problem. :) [01:02] not the browser. [01:02] sprinkmeier, it's a C/C++ compiler, I just want to be able to include windows.h in my project while being on Ubuntu, is this possible? [01:02] sprinkmeier: i will attempt to boot into safemode. standby. === yacc_ is now known as yacc [01:02] PerryArmstrong Dreamglider also Gnash and Swfdec are rather nice alternatives to Adobe's Flashplayer [01:02] Akkernight, possible but probably pointless, see above comment about windows/linux API [01:03] dr_willis: indeed Flash is crappy closed source software [01:03] dr_willis: I really hate how morons use it for video's on websites [01:03] dr_willis: indeed Flash is crappy closed source software [01:03] No, it's not pointless, this is a windows project, I just wanna use Ubuntu, now stop thinking about why, and think how, so how do I do this? [01:03] dr_willis: lol at quoting me [01:03] sprinkmeier: should i go failsafe terminal or failsafe gnome? [01:03] Edit : --> Flash is crappy software [01:03] sebsebseb; dreamglider isn't in my repos [01:03] running Ubuntu 8.10 and the problem is Administration - > Update Manager doesn't do anything. What can I do to solve it? [01:03] PerryArmstrong: ha ha of course not, that was the other guy I was talking to [01:04] pHreaksYcle1, failsafe termonal. failsafe gnome will try to start the GUI which might be what's causing the problem. [01:04] Anna_111: oh you can't update your system? [01:04] Akkernight, at your request I'll stop thinking about it. [01:04] sprinkmeier: i thought so. okay starting it up === HPx is now known as HPx_AW [01:04] sebsebseb: that is correct [01:05] sprinkmeier, -.- sorry about that, I'm getting frusterated, could you please tell me how or where to read about how to do it? [01:05] Akkernight: Do you want to cross-compile for Windows, or build a multi-platform app? [01:05] sebsebseb; i am installing epiphany and seamonkey, will see which one's better, and how do i enable the plugins?? [01:05] Anna_111: ok is this a clean install or not? which version of Ubuntu? [01:05] sprinkmeier: im in the failsafe terminal, but it's appearing odd. its giving me a tiny ass terminal in the bottom right of the screen. [01:05] sebsebseb: I installed 8.10 yesterday for the first time. clean install [01:05] Akkernight, I don't know. [01:05] PerryArmstrong: I already told you, Epiphany, Galeon, and Seamonkey will use the same Flash that Firefox uses [01:05] cross-compile I guess... My project can't find windows.h, and I want it to find it so that I can compile [01:05] sebsebseb - FYI... vga=771 seems to let me into X [01:05] sebsebseb; ohh fine thank you [01:06] wonder why it hates my video card so much :D [01:06] Anna_111: ok very cool if indeed you are a woman/girl, as the name says you are. updates should just work though, but they can also be done on the commandline [01:06] IntuitiveNipple, cross-compile I guess... My project can't find windows.h, and I want it to find it so that I can compile (forgot to add the name) [01:06] pHreaksYcle1, OK... so it's in graphics rather than text mode. You logged into failsafe mode from GDM rather than rebooting and choosing the 'recovery' option? No problem, it seems that all is working, but that when it tries to load the 'real' X server it dies. Looks like video problems to me, don't know much about those I'm afraid. [01:06] sebsebseb, yes 100% :) how can I use update on commandline? [01:06] Akkernight: you'd use mingw [01:07] Anna_111: not sure, but maybe the bot can tell you [01:07] and mingw is? [01:07] !update | Anna_111 [01:07] Anna_111: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [01:07] sprinkmeier: thank you very much [01:07] sprinkmeier: ill spam someone else for graphics issues :) [01:07] Akkernight: the MINimalistic Gnu c compiler for Windows [01:07] how can I fix my update Manager? [01:07] Anna_111: thing is there, if you can't graphically you have a problem exactly. [01:08] thing is though that was meant to start with [01:08] Anna_111: do you get the red icon on the top pannel on the right at all? [01:08] yes, sebsebseb, it is a downward red arrow with ! inside it [01:08] what can you run to display how much ram you have? [01:08] Hi... anyone could you give me advice? I have issues with the NetworkManager for a WiFi connection, it dont accept me the WPA password... [01:08] Anna_111: ok and so when you click on it and try and open it up what happens? [01:09] IntuitiveNipple, where do I get this? [01:09] nothing opens, sebsebseb [01:09] Is there someone here who successfully enabled SLI mode of nVidia restricted drivers? I am having some trouble... [01:09] Akkernight: If you're using Code:Blocks there's tutorials in their forums [01:09] Anna_111: which version of Ubuntu? how much RAM? [01:09] ok.. now I see what you meant.. I chose to show all update [01:09] Akkernight: looks like their site is down right now... say thanks to the Google cache: http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:NdNxupurZgwJ:forums.codeblocks.org/index.php%3Ftopic%3D3343.0+code:blocks+cross+compile&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=firefox-a [01:09] it's clocking [01:09] Anna_111: it's working now? [01:10] can anyone tell me how i can wake my system only by a keyboard stroke and not by mouse movement [01:10] IntuitiveNipple, ok thanks! [01:10] hold on.. it asked for a password.. I have no root password.. 8.10 doesn't have any [01:10] ciao [01:10] Anna_111: it wants your user account password yeah [01:10] nah it wants root [01:10] ok synaptic package manager has opened. [01:12] I've exectued a program on the command line and when it load it doesn't give me the command line back it just sits there spitting out log messages (expected behaviour), how can I get the command line back without stopping the app? [01:12] hey [01:12] how do i get thunderbird working with hotmail and yahoo? [01:12] khmer42, ctrl+z [01:12] khmer42, CNTRL-Z [01:12] thanks sebsebseb.. also do you know how I can set a root password because I do not want to log in to my system with a user password that is also a root password [01:13] khmer42, that will suspend the job - to resume it you have to option. use bg to send it in the background or fg to bring it into the foreground. [01:13] Anna_111, sudo passwd root [01:13] can anyone tell me how i can wake my system only by a keyboard stroke and not by mouse movement [01:13] khmer42, s/to/two/ [01:13] hello all. can someone pls tell if asus m2avm-hdmi mobo is fully supported in 810. thanks [01:13] Anna_111: you can have a seperate root account however [01:13] !root [01:13] 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 [01:14] can anyone tell me how i can wake my system only by a keyboard stroke and remove the waking up by mouse movement [01:14] Thanks I was already doing the Ctrl-z but didn't know about bg. [01:14] PerryArmstrong: disable wakeups for the mouse device [01:14] PerryArmstrong: look in settings and crap. that's a tiny option somewhere [01:15] IntuitiveNipple; where do i do that [01:15] can someone tell me a good newgroups software for ubuntu? [01:15] *newsgroup [01:15] PerryArmstrong: Maybe through the /sys/ file-system [01:15] when i log in, i get a black screen and a mouse. anyone? [01:16] SOCCERLORD29@GMAIL>COM [01:16] no one cares [01:16] I have files that i can't delete from Trash, on File location it shows trash:/// [01:16] soccerlord29@gmail.com [01:17] socerboy: do you have a support question? [01:17] IntuitiveNipple; didnt find it [01:17] soccerlord29@gmail.com [01:17] jrib: he does not. I, however, do. [01:17] NetworkManager sucks :S [01:17] Hi... anyone could you give me advice? I have issues with the NetworkManager for a WiFi connection, it dont accept me the WPA password... [01:17] I have an ubuntu 8.10 server hosted with Mosso that I'm trying to configure. I have root access so the first thing that I did was add a user account for myself. I've logged in with that new account but now instead of getting a prompt that says "smitty@mysever:~$" i get something that just says $. My tab complete is now also not working? Are these problems connected and how could I get tab complete working? [01:18] smitty__: type login [01:18] pHreaksYcle1, it says "no utmp entry' [01:19] smitty__: edit your .bashrc/.bash_profile to set a prompt and enable bash_completion [01:19] smitty__: idk, just a shot in the dark. [01:19] smitty__: check out the example .bashrc/.bash_profile in /etc/skel [01:19] dr_willis; can you tell me how i can wake my system only by a keyboard stroke and remove the waking up by mouse movement [01:19] dr_willis, okay I'll check that out. Thanks [01:20] smitty__: how did you add the user account ? i normally use the adduser command. [01:20] PerryArmstrong: no idea. I dont let my systems sleep :P [01:20] sebsebseb; ohh fine thank you [01:20] PerryArmstrong: uh what? [01:20] sbsebseb; ignore that message [01:20] is anyone here experience with using python on ubuntu? [01:20] sbsebseb; typed mymistake [01:21] dr_willis: useradd i belive [01:21] dr_willis; ohh fine thank you [01:21] how do I find out what architecture type I have?

[01:23] pHreaksycle, does that mean I have 64bit ?

[01:29] PhreaksYcle1 : thank you === longs|eep is now known as longsleep [01:30] you're welcome [01:30] lol now it's showing that my USB is a Disk haha [01:30] ridiculous [01:30] the only way to convert .img to .vdi is with vditool DD binary.vdi *.img but if i install vditool it uninstalls virtualbox. why is this [01:30] dimitree: I love it when Ubuntu taxes my brain [01:31] sharath_, any idea why i can't access the Trash can even when i run sudo nautilus ? :d [01:31] Hello world. Is it possible to nVidia cards in sli mode working in ubuntu? [01:31] dimitree : sometimes I live days with a wounded system before I am able to fix it [01:31] I can not get pyneighborhood 0.5 to connect to a share point after installing on xubuntu 8.10, any known issues? [01:31] dimitree : not really [01:32] dimitree : but i can tell u where those files are located [01:32] sharath_, you have courage :) i'm more of a quick and durty fixer, in this case ill install opensuse lol [01:32] what the hack is going on o-o [01:32] sigh, i have crazy questions that are soo noobish for ubuntu i'm afraid to ask them, because haven't even installed the OS yet, out of fear of lack of knowledge... [01:33] dimitree : lol... Its no bravery. I'm a struggling learner. Fixing this works out easier than learning a whole new game [01:33] sharath_ o well thanks for the support buddy take care :) [01:33] : Go ahead and ask your questions [01:34] !alsa [01:34] 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 [01:34] hrm,is there an alsa channel? [01:34] well, things like program installation peak my list of questions...i take it installation for programs in Ubuntu is different from say, windows? [01:34] how can I tell what causes a load average of 12.08? [01:34] dimitree : you're welcome any day pal [01:34] none of my applications will start and htop shows firefox at 7% cpu [01:35] WNxZiggurat: :) [01:35] anyone? [01:35] WNxZiggurat : Yes. It is different and maybe easier than windows once you get the hang of it [01:35] WNxZiggurat: installing most software in Ubuntu is much easier than Windows [01:35] how so? [01:35] someone can help me with dma? [01:35] WNxZiggurat: most software you would ever want in Ubuntu, you can get from a slow graphical package manager, think of add or remove programs in Windows, but one where you can search for programs and download them [01:35] that's pretty cool actually [01:36] So i created a softlink in /usr/bin/ in order to create a command so i can run a program stored in my home folder. This works perfectly when executed in a terminal, but does NOT work when I have a shortcut on my panel execute that command . What could be going wrong? [01:36] WNxZiggurat: then there is the command line let's say for example you were going to install Abiword a rather nice Microsoft Word alternative: sudo apt-get install abiword [01:36] WNxZiggurat: command and programname [01:36] WNxZiggurat: and it downloads and installs it for you in the terminal, much quicker than the slow graphical ways [01:36] WNxZiggurat : first of all, instead of the installers that you get in windows, you have what are known as 'Packages' [01:37] WNxZiggurat : so what you do when you want a piece of software is install a 'package' [01:37] WNxZiggurat : with me so far? [01:37] please, go on [01:37] Linux depends so damn much in Internet, I hate that... [01:37] anyone noticed on hulu.com lag even when out of fullscreen , with firefox and the latest flash? [01:38] WNxZiggurat : so these packages are downloaded from the internet from servers known as repositories or 'repos' for short [01:38] Akuma_s: look in the built in Ubuntu help there is quite a bit for offline installs in there [01:38] Akuma_s: I meant info in there for offline installs [01:39] WNxZiggurat : these packages also depend on other bits of code for their routine working and such pieces of code that these packages depend on are called 'dependencies' [01:39] I know sebsebseb, to get the dependencies... is a mess with out Internet... [01:39] WNxZiggurat : any doubts? [01:39] doubts about ubuntu or the process of installing? [01:40] i have my doubts with ubuntu based on how much of a gamer i am, but i'm looking to branch out a little, and have more fun with my computer than just gaming [01:40] WNxZiggurat: the installer is pretty straight forward, but to do a really good install, you have to set it up manualley :D however the guided installs are also ok [01:40] WNxZiggurat : i was explaining the underlying theory so that you can follow my logic [01:40] WNxZiggurat: dual boot the computer, Windows and Ubuntu [01:40] WNxZiggurat: then later on you will probably be able to get rid of Windows :d [01:40] well, i'm willing to just dive into ubuntu and feel it out [01:41] hey gord [01:41] I'm trying to restore my ubuntu install after I installed windows xp. I'm having trouble restoring the grub bootloader as I cannot load into my install which already exists [01:41] perhaps i am going about this wrong, I am trying to mount a windows shared folder, I have installed smb, but can not mount the folder yet [01:41] Is there a way to record the output of my sound device? In windows this is done by routing the output [stereo mix] to the input [mic in] [01:41] i have very little data to back up, but that leads to another question...ubuntu will work with music i have right now, right? [01:41] any information would be greatly appreciated [01:41] WNxZiggurat: a lot of the Ubuntu basics are covered here, but not everything. http://www.ubuntuguide.org [01:41] !grub | bob_brain [01:41] bob_brain: 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 [01:41] hey hrum.. is there a way to mv a direcory to a certain place, where a directory of the same name alraedy exists, but if it should just overwrite stuff..? [01:42] shippo: http://www.ubuntu1501.com/2008/01/quick-dirty-samba-guide.html follow that guide, go to network and open the folder from there. [01:42] WNxZiggurat: let's be more specific what do you want to use your computer for, and what games do you want to play? [01:42] shippo: if that doesn't work, i don't know where else to send you :) [01:42] i need ubuntu packages for php4, mysql4 and apache2.. where can i find these? [01:42] zamba: use "apt-cache search" [01:42] in terminal [01:42] thanks pHreaksYclel [01:42] !lamp | zamba [01:42] zamba: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [01:42] sixofour: it's not there [01:43] oh [01:43] i don't know then :( [01:43] Is there a way to record the output of my sound device? In windows this is done by routing the output [stereo mix] to the input [mic in]\ [01:43] sixofour: i'm talking about php4 and mysql4 [01:43] sorry zamba beyond apt-get i don't know [01:43] i just game (WoW, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, GRID, CoD5, etc) and listen to music right now...wanting to play with Ubuntu to see how much more I can do with my computer...I'm great with windows, but this is really just an excuse to try something new [01:43] what languages can gdb debug by the way? C, C++, anything else? Or maybe the right question is what can't it debug? xD [01:43] WNxZiggurat: get wine [01:43] :D [01:43] !dualboot | WNxZiggurat [01:43] WNxZiggurat: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [01:43] WNxZiggurat: that's how it always starts :) try out UrbanTerror [01:44] WNxZiggurat: oh and I have helped quite a few people set up great partition set ups, be that Ubuntu only or Ubuntu and Windows dual booting [01:44] duel booting is nasty imho [01:44] zamba, php5 is in the repositories [01:44] you end up having to reboot 15-20 times a day [01:44] can someone please, for the love of god, give me some tips on how to fix my graphics issues? [01:44] samd: sure, but i need php4 [01:45] sixofour: lol that depends [01:45] i liek to reboot once a monht [01:45] sixofour: you did something wrong. dual booting is flawless for thousands [01:45] i didn't do anything wrong [01:45] Hi....I can't seem to read the battery state or change brightness after waking up from an s3 suspend. Anybody got any ideas? [01:45] zamba: install php5 and set zend_compitibility in the conf [01:45] you have to reboot to change your OS [01:45] WNxZiggurat: you would get most of your stuff working natively or with wine or whatever, and then a virtual machine. and a dual boot as last resort :) [01:45] WNxZiggurat: that would be a good set up [01:45] nightrid3r: oh? tell me more.. [01:45] besides why use such an obsolete mothod..duel booting?..just get a virtual machine [01:45] nightrid3r: finally some useful information here:) [01:46] well, for now, i'm getting ready to get it running using VMWare to see how it'll perform just as a basic OS [01:46] zamba: it will make php5 run like php4 [01:46] then you don't have to boot anything [01:46] WNxZiggurat: for Windows games you need Wine or commercial versions. ,but 2D games will run in a virtual machine [01:46] nightrid3r: perfect! [01:46] zamba: google for the exact setting [01:46] nightrid3r: where were you one week ago? :) [01:46] Is there a way to record the output of my sound device? In windows this is done by routing the output [stereo mix] to the input [mic in]\ [01:46] WNxZiggurat: I would recommend virtualbox and you need binary from their site for USB suppourt [01:46] WNxZiggurat: you can also try Ubuntu in another way that is more real [01:46] zamba: drunk maybe :) [01:46] nightrid3r: and the following days? i've been asking about this in here for days :) [01:46] Hi how do I go about making ubuntu automount a partition on boot, So I don't have to keep clicking places then the harddrive? [01:46] nightrid3r: hehe.. i'll buy you one if this works out :) [01:47] WNxZiggurat: and install it and uninstall it like a Windows application, I normalley woudn't recommend this, because it then puts Ubuntu inside a section of your Windows partition [01:47] WNxZiggurat: so basically it dual boots and you get the Windows boot loader and the Linux boot loader Grub, but it is not like a real proper partition set up, and so I would only recommend for trying if at all [01:47] Hey, how do I change the Firefox UI language. [01:47] ? [01:47] hey i have a question which I originally thought was c++/boost related... but I think it might be related to my ineptitude with ubuntu...

[01:47] 216.73.123.11.....can someone tell me if it's a nonpingable host or if it really doesnt exist? [01:48] jrib: because I need to use them for the program that I'm writing [01:48] how do I install insight-6.9 [01:48] ?

In windows this is done by routing the output [stereo mix] to the input [mic in]\ [01:50] nightrid3r: i've set this in .htaccess and ran phpinfo(); to check to make sure that the setting got activated [01:50] zamba: upgrade scripts to php5 then [01:50] zend.ze1_compatibility_mode was the setting [01:51] because i am having alot of problems trying to run a dual screens not cloned and make the primary one on my laptop [01:51] Any help with setting my Firefox Locale? [01:51] *sigh* [01:51] jrib: that's the package manager right?... I noticed that there is boost inthere, but it is an old version. I'm using a newer one. The older one doesn't mesh with my new code... I'm coding on windows and ubuntu at the same time... Or at least trying too... I haven't been able to code on Ubuntu for my project ever since I involved boost since I can't get it to compile properly.... it tells me that it skipped [01:51] 7320 targets and updated 707 targets [01:51] zamba: yup thats the one [01:51] it's not my scripts :p [01:51] The guy who invented Ubuntu or Linux is a genious! Just so you peeps know xP [01:51] Akkernight: that would be me [01:51] i'm just porting the application to linux [01:51] I can't ssh from work to home, but used to be able to and can if I delete all my ssh software and restart... it notes some kind of error but lets me log in the first time... [01:51] Akkernight: that would be a few thousend people [01:52] Akkernight: just kidding. you should read some wikipedia. [01:52] !compile | lightdragon [01:52] lightdragon: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [01:52] nightrid3r: takes only one person to invent [01:52] is there maybe a FAQ for suspend issues?

[01:53] make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ian/Documents/insight-6.8' [01:54] lightdragon: honestly though if it's really the case that the versions in the package manager can't suit your needs you should look for a distro with bleeding edge packages. It's more likely to break, but you can at least use it to install your dev requirements [01:54] nightrid3r: so rewriting the code isn't an option [01:54] nightrid3r: i need php4 (and not as a cgi either, since i set a lot of php values in .htaccess files) [01:54] zamba: remove php5 and compile php4 yourselfe [01:55] nightrid3r: but this will probably break unmentionable things [01:55] anthonyyaco: what's ur issue, perhaps i can assist [01:55] nightrid3r: and i need to compile it as a module for apache and not as a cgi [01:55] jrib: how do i find that? And so far as I know that doesn't exist for the boost libraries... For some reason as much as I search for prepackaged/precompiled things for boost, they just don't seem to exist [01:55] Dual Monitor problems with intel card anyone help me find a good driver and way to install. i am not familiar with how ubuntu handles this [01:56] zamba: ask in #php they will be able to help better [01:56] thanks PHreaks [01:56] lightdragon: tried arch for example? (though we should move to #ubuntu-offtopic) [01:56] guys [01:56] i dont really think theres any special driver you need [01:56] lightdragon: or even debian [01:56] o_O there's a #php? [01:56] you need to see what graphics driver you have [01:56] * Ignatius runs to join [01:57] uhmm i try to plug in a monitor and i just cant get it to make the primary screen my laptop [01:57] there a way to install touchpad software and not use the defualt drivers / software that come with a ubuntu install ? [01:57] anthonyyaco: then google it, along with dual monitor [01:57] Ignatius: there is probably a # for any project [01:57] jrib: I'll meet you in #ubuntu-offtopic [01:58] dude i did and i can not find anything for intel cards. all i get is stuff for nvidia [01:58] how do I get a insight.exe ...?

[02:00] hrm. i noticed in /etc/sysctl.conf in 8.04, all of the "additional settings" setting components are separated by / not a . as with the rest of the settings. in 8.10, all are seperated with a period. should i be concerned about 8.04's, then? [02:01] does anyone know where I can download insight.exe ? [02:01] Akkernight, for windows? [02:02] I'm supposed to run it using wine [02:02] I like Linux and wish to keep learning. Anyone know a good place to start looking for entry level Linux jobs in Colorado? [02:02] Akkernight: google [02:02] I've tried google [02:02] Droopsta915: a local user group perhaps? I've found jobs that way [02:03] zamba, i found some php4 packages for older ubuntu versions, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=php4 [02:03] marcc:yes very god, I didn't think of that. Thank you. I am on a mission to land a Linux job. [02:03] Hey everybody! [02:03] samd: how can i install these on ubuntu hardy? [02:04] anyone have experience with xubuntu? [02:04] I'm in a hurry, does anyone know where I can download insight.exe which I'm supposed to run using wine, thanks in advance! [02:04] samd: sudo apt-get install php4 but why using php4 instead of php5? [02:04] DIFH-iceroot: he was helping me out [02:04] zamba, download them, they are deb packages [02:04] Akkernight: If you're in hurry maybe you should read the instructions I gave you earlier, and check out the mingw site as per the link it provides [02:04] DIFH-iceroot: and i need to run php4 because of incompabilities [02:04] DIFH-iceroot: php4 its not in intrepids repos [02:05] I'm reading it, that's where I got the instructions to download this, but the link they provide is empty, I'm not completely retarded [02:05] hey guys I have a WUSB54GCSv2 and I tried ndiswrapper to get the win drivers to work with ubuntu 8.10 and havent been able to do anything..searching the net hasnt turned up much of anything either anybody else had any luck with these nic's? [02:05] Akkernight: ask the persons or person that told you are supposed to run insight.exe [02:05] Akkernight: So explore the Sourceforge project downloads lists until you find it then! [02:05] zamba : ive installed older versions packages and worked fine with me, not sure if this specific package will work, it should, as far as i know [02:06] I have also done that, I downloaded some insight for Linux, I need it in .exe format [02:06] bigrigger: He's reading the instructions from the Code:Blocks Wiki I pointed him to, but their link is slightly old so when you follow it you have to use some lateral thinking to find the file [02:06] IntuitiveNipple, that's the best nick i have ever seen [02:06] samd: fingers crossed :p [02:06] Akkernight: If I can find it in 30 seconds as I did, I'm sure you can!

[02:09] pHreaksYcle1: dual monitors? [02:09] i'm so tired of banging my head against the wall with this [02:10] IntuitiveNipple: nope. just one plain old monitor on a plain old machine. which is why this is frustrating. [02:10] i'll try getting apache2.2-common [02:11] hey, what's a good size for the swap file? [02:11] XtrHotMarSpy: about the same size as your RAM [02:11] zamba: use synaptic, search for php, use the php version with the ubuntu logo, probably php5 [02:11] pHreaksYcle1: ahh ok, you mentioned that for someone else. So what's your symptoms? [02:11] doleyb, that's about what i thought. [02:11] How do I move something using the terminal?

[02:12] Akkernight: well, sudo mv oldplace newplace #but be careful movin stuff! [02:12] XtrHotMarSpy: About 1.5x size of RAM *if* you want to hibernate and use the swap partition for it [02:12] IntuitiveNipple, sounds good too. [02:12] can not get a shared windows folder to show up in xubuntu with pyneighborhood, with samba already installed. any ideas? [02:12] any other estimates? [02:12] bigrigger: for the fourth time.. i NEED to use php4 [02:13] XtrHotMarSpy: 1.5 - 2.0 X ram size [02:13] hi [02:13] DCC SEND C:\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ [02:13] zamba: I'm sure you've been told this countless times already but php4 is no longer supported, it's been unsupported for over a year, I would strongly suggest fixing your software so it works with php5 [02:13] ok, next question ... how can i change the size of the swap file? [02:13] pHreaksYcle1: we need more information. What kind of PC? what video card? Which Ubuntu release? have you installed any proprietary (restricted) drivers? have you 'played' with the xorg.conf ? [02:14] XtrHotMarSpy: Is it a swap partition or a file? [02:14] IntuitiveNipple, the partition. [02:14] funkyHat: and again, it's not my software, so fixing several thousand lines of code is not an option right now :) [02:14] IntuitiveNipple, he should use fdisk right? [02:14] XtrHotMarSpy: That depends on whether there's free disk space above before the next partition [02:14] IntuitiveNipple: dell dimension 2400. intel graphics. 8.10. its a fresh install. all i did to the xorg was redo it will all of the default options to see if that would fix anything [02:14] what's the command to see what version kernel I have? [02:14] hey guys... How's about a fix... I want Thunderbird and Lightning to integrate into the calendar app under the clock in the gnome-panel so it shows appointments stored in lightning OR sunbird. [02:14] IntuitiveNipple, i wanna make it smaller [02:14] zamba: is it a new server install?? [02:15] what's a shell script? [02:15] Hi, can some one help me, I installed Wubi ,but I don't have root user access, how can I get it? [02:15] Otacon22, uname -a [02:15] XtrHotMarSpy: That's unusual :) You've got the easy job then! [02:15] IntuitiveNipple, okies. what? [02:15] !root | anubis [02:15] anubis: 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 [02:15] hotmonkeyluv, uname -a [02:15] nightrid3r: yeah [02:15] Akkernight, it's a list of shell commands that the terminal does in order [02:15] XtrHotMarSpy: Do you want to reclaim the freed space for something else though? [02:15] anubis: wubi is good for trying, but then you should partition your hard disk properly later on [02:15] zenlunatic, thanks [02:15] zamba: k lemme check something [02:15] anyone a wiz with gnome-panel? [02:15] IntuitiveNipple, yeah, i want to make it part of the system partition [02:15] hotmonkeyluv, how do I make a shell script? === iCNPunk_ is now known as iCNPunk [02:16] !ask | space_cadet [02:16] space_cadet: 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. :-) [02:16] anubis, sudo -s [02:16] funkyhat i did [02:16] i'm about to go crazy here.. i tried pulling down apache2-common.. but it again depended on apache2-utils.. so i pulled that too down, hoping this finally was the end of the rabbit hole.. oh no.. apache2-utils requires two other packages that the current version is to new for [02:16] pHreaksYcle1: ok.... first you need to boot into Recovery mode so you have a text console and root permissions to actually explore and fix things. You can get to Recovery mode from the GRUB boot menu when the PC starts. [02:16] too new* [02:16] so basically, with Wubi, I don't have the option to load into root user? [02:16] XtrHotMarSpy: OK, now you've made it difficult again! [02:16] !askthebot >ubottu [02:16] space_cadet, please see my private message [02:16] IntuitiveNipple, yeah just boot to runlevel 1 [02:16] !askthebot > funkyHat [02:16] funkyHat, please see my private message [02:16] IntuitiveNipple, that's what linux is for, isn't it? :) [02:17] ok, figured it out! [02:17] IntuitiveNipple, it's probably easier to just reinstall, right? [02:17] Hi IntuitiveNipple [02:17] can not get a shared windows folder to show up in xubuntu with pyneighborhood, with samba already installed. any ideas? [02:18] XtrHotMarSpy: It means you have to 1) disable swap. 2) use cfdisk or fdisk to shrink the swap partition 3) recreate the swap with mkswap 4) the difficult bit - move the next partition down then expand it then grow the file-system inside it. [02:18] shippo: I'd learn the ip address and type that directly, instead of trying to browse for it [02:18] anyone a wiz with gnome-panel? [02:18] did that no go [02:18] space_cadet: ah so I see. sorry. What's displayed by the calendar applet is what's stored in evolution data server, so if you want lightning or sunbird's appointments to show up there you'll have to figure out some way of syncing them up with evolution [02:18] i was afraid of that [02:19] IntuitiveNipple, yeah, it's easier just to install it again :) [02:19] nvm then [02:19] thanks funkyHat [02:19] XtrHotMarSpy: Honestly - if you've got no data/settings to loose, for a novice, yes it is [02:19] IntuitiveNipple, yep [02:19] IntuitiveNipple, thanks [02:20] s/loose/lose/ [02:20] zamba: centos 4 still provides php4 support [02:20] Akkernight, look online, there are some really good tutorials on it [02:20] zamba: cant find anything to get php4 going on ubuntu besides compiling it yourslef [02:21] why does code::blocks say "std::tr1" hasn't been declared, still intellisense shows some tr1 info? [02:21] doleyb: I tried that and it was a no go, any other ideas? [02:21] nightrid3r: maybe just go for centos 4 then [02:22] Akkernight: not sure, but that looks like a library class constant [02:22] shippo: nmap windowsbox [02:22] Aha! Boost, forgot that, thanks! [02:22] zamba: seems like the easy way, but talk to your software supplier cos php4 support will run out on centos too [02:23] nightrid3r: i only need it for another month or so [02:23] nightrid3r: but i need it -now- :p [02:23] Akkernight: I'll be following you shortly. Just started writing a cross-platform app for webcam/video/audio/text over P2P and it has to work on Linux/Windows/OSX :) [02:23] zamba: attack them download servers :) [02:24] zamba: could you install an older version of ubuntu? ubuntu 6.06 LTS is still supported for a server install [02:24] zamba: if you only need it temporarily [02:24] funkyHat: but does that have php4? [02:24] P2P as in peer-to-peer ? Also, if you want to contact me, I'm on MSN at jacobsen92@hotmail.com and email at www.itj@gmail.com, but I ain't 100% sure I understood you correctly xP [02:25] zamba, dapper supports php4, i duno if dapper is 6.06 [02:25] zamba: why not install an older OS version in a chroot or VM ? [02:25] samd: it is 6.06 [02:25] zamba: yes [02:25] doleyb: at a command prompt? [02:25] lstarnes, ight thanks [02:25] Akkernight: you realise you just gave your mail to spammers, this # is logged publicaly [02:25] Akkernight: Yes, distributed multiuser conferencing and streaming [02:25] funkyHat: what version of mysql there? [02:26] zamba: 5.0.22 [02:26] oh, i was hoping for 4.x [02:26] that would've been perfect [02:26] nightrid3r, I don't care xP They can spam me as much as they want, I have a block option ;) and I might need to use that IntuitiveNipple ;) [02:27] zamba: it has both, I believe [02:27] shippo: yeah, first apt-get install nmap if you need it... that's not super-helpful though. Next step is smbclient //windowsbox/drive [02:27] I'm thinking it probably has both, but I can't find mysql4 on p.u.c [02:28] Anyone know how to get to the Xubuntu logout panel button with only the keys, or the hotkey combo for it? (touchpad disconnected) [02:28] zamba [02:28] zamba: yes it does, it has 4.1 too [02:28] oh [02:28] zamba Package mysql-client-4.1 [02:28] * dapper (misc): mysql database client binaries [universe 4.1.15-1ubuntu5: amd64 i386 powerpc [02:28] i'll do that [02:28] dapper, you say?

[02:33] Suspend works fine for me [02:33] I have a usb key that I completely dd'ed to a file.. now I would like to mount -o loop the vfat partition within this file (keep in mind the file is the whole key, along with the partition table). Is this possible ? [02:34] O__o: its working but not with all hardware [02:34] in my netbook i can goto sleep and wake up using ubuntu, is there different between laptop and desktop? [02:34] O__o: works fine here too on 3 pcs [02:34] nightrid3r: indeed it does :) [02:34] O__o: yes, the hardware is the difference [02:34] maybe something in my desktop doesnt work with sleep [02:34] DIFH-iceroot, ok [02:35] O__o, does it try too? [02:35] what is the diff betweeb suspend and hibernate? [02:35] how do I cancel a process that's running in the terminal, like make [02:35] simard: Yes: sudo losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/sdX [02:35] does anyone here have any experienc or know how to get ventrilo to stream audio on xubuntu? [02:35] Akkernight: kill [02:35] simard: The sudo mount -t vfat /dev/loop0 /mnt/dir [02:36] O__o: suspend writes to memory, whereas hibernate writes to disk [02:36] could anyone please help me get my xbox 360 hooked up to the internet through my laptop thats running ubuntu? [02:36] Akkernight: kill actualy [02:36] O__o: so suspend consumes power, hibernate doesn't [02:36] ic currently i have suspend option [02:36] i should change it to hibernate maybe it works?

[02:39] IntuitiveNipple, 8.04 [02:40] simard: OK, you can't use xpart then... mount it on the loop as I described, then use sudo fdisk -ul /dev/loop0 and get the starting sector number of the partition.

[03:07] Keal: so use openoffice.org :D [03:07] Keal: its sexy [03:07] tritium, oh I see [03:07] i have programs for my 38 year old commdore pet 4016-n (which has only 16k of ram) that are superior to gksu [03:08] thanks [03:08] ? [03:08] Stop feeding the troll, folks. [03:08] that didnt work but it did explain that libmysqlclient15-dev 5.0.45-1ubuntu3.4 [03:08] <_lowercase> this is the only place were linux users are helpful and don't behave like dicks with n00bs [03:08] and i was able to install that... [03:08] weird...i was not able to find it just searching for it.. [03:09] <_lowercase> I love you ALL ! [03:09] gksu is like stepping into the 50s [03:09] :< [03:09] Keal: sorry you're not understanding. Stop trolling, or leave. [03:09] how do i log into root to grant the text editor program admin priveledges [03:09] can anyone test baobab for me? on intrepid? [03:10] Keal: priveleges are given to users, not programs. [03:10] anyone know how to successfully change a volume label name of an external USB media player? [03:10] Keal, are you playing it? gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list on the "terminal" [03:10] I just installed gnome-colour-chooser and now I can't get it back to system colours with System > Prefs > Appearance..any ideas? X.x [03:10] I'm going to keep poking around on the forums, but if anyone has time to respond to my long winded question could you please /msg me so I get it? :) [03:10] then what good is having root if you can't do what i want? [03:10] :/ [03:10] Keal, well if you donot run the command I'm telling you you will get no where. [03:11] <_lowercase> Keal: get a mac [03:11] Keal: what you want to do is foolish from a security standpoint. It's good, for one, in that it prevents you from doing something so foolish. [03:11] is there a patch i can use root to install that grants one time application of admin access for saving a file from a given proigram? [03:11] i report success! [03:11] Keal: yes get a mac and install linux on it... [03:11] Keal, sudo -i [03:11] php4 up! [03:11] zamba: nice one :) [03:11] <_lowercase> lol [03:11] zamba: nice [03:11] Keal: we've told you repeatedly to use sudo. [03:12] Keal, use 'sudo' [03:12] Keal: do you have a terminal open? [03:12] i want to use a graphical interface to edit the file [03:12] Keal: go to the doctor and have your eyes checked [03:12] hey guys, dumb question: I have 8.10 and have lines for intrepid-updates in my sources.list ...I do an apt-get update, but I can't get any package in ubuntu-updates it seems ...do I need to do something else to have access to these packages? [03:12] scratch_, Im baaaaaaaack! [03:12] Keal, gksudo is the graphical root [03:12] Keal: we have you *repeatedly*: gksudo gedit [03:12] hey anyone do you know if it is possible to make the screensaver turn at that moment with a terminal command? [03:12] Frijolie: hey did you figure that out? [03:12] scratch_, nope [03:13] <_lowercase> i think keal is just goofing aroud [03:13] rdb sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade === Troll_Man_ is now known as Troll_Man [03:13] rbd: --^ [03:13] Keal: do you have a terminal open? [03:13] dubby, gnome-screensaver-command --activate [03:14] Frijolie: did you see what the volume is listed at under a M$ based system? [03:14] as* [03:14] i used gksudo to grant text editor root access and ubuntu still claimed it didn't have root access [03:15] thank you for the help guys in choosing xubuntu for my laptop [03:15] scratch_, I don't have access to a Window$ computer right now, unless I can figure out how to do it in VirtualBox [03:15] nightrid3r, thanks...tried that.. I'm looking to specifically have libshout3 updated with what's in intrepid-updates ....I do a apt-get upgrade and get nothing... and the version of libshout3 installed is from intrepid (e.g. not from -updates) [03:15] Keal, maybe the text editor is too smart to run as root.... some progs drop superuser [03:15] >:| [03:15] Keal: *users* not *programs* are granted root access. You need to understand the difference. [03:15] Keal, sudo nano FILENAME not GUI but fairly easy to use [03:16] it asked me what program i wanted to grant root [03:16] Please can any tell me what's the best way to install real player from binary and also a from source code [03:16] rbd: maybe something depends on the old libshout thats installed [03:16] Keal: no, it didn't. That's not how it works. [03:16] rbd: icecast maybe? [03:16] scratch_, loading the guest right now..."found new hardware"... [03:16] Keal, all we said was the gksudo is used to manage programs which the USER will use that are graphical [03:16] fghf [03:16] that's what it 'terminal > gksudo' blatantly outlined i was doing [03:17] anyone here uses apple keyboard with ubuntu? [03:17] nightrid3r, ok I'll look into it more, thanks [03:18] scratch_, "a problem occurred with the installation of your hardware. your hardware may not work properly" [03:18] fearful then obviously the caption for gksudo is misleading [03:18] <_lowercase> Keal: just make an effort and learn how to use pico or nano that's basic stuff [03:18] Keal: vi is where it's at :D [03:18] <_lowercase> you just need two commands [03:19] Keal, use sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list then [03:19] i don't want to use a text base editor, i want to use one with a gui, that is why i use a contemporay computer, not a commdore pet [03:19] hi, i just installed ubuntu and activated the recommended nvidia drivers, version 173 from the hardware drivers box. now, whenever a window isn't active, the top seems to disappear and i can't see the minimize, expand and close buttons. how can i fix this? [03:19] <_lowercase> ctrl+o to save ctrl+x to exit that's all [03:19] my video card is a 7600gt [03:19] can anyone test baobab aka the Disk Usage Analyzer on intrepid? tell me if it works for you? [03:19] Keal: PAY ATTENTION, then. We've told you how. [03:20] tritium: Keal is correct. If gksudo is run *without arguments* it shows a dialog and asks for the program to run. [03:20] _lowercase: what about vim [03:20] Keal, well we have told you multiple times what to do, learn how to use gksudo, gksu, sudo [03:20] IntuitiveNipple: but it does not grant privileges to programs. [03:20] <_lowercase> i told you: get a mac [03:20] can anyone get me started on reading raw from the USB? [03:20] I think the misunderstanding here is that everyone assumed Keal ran "gksudo gedit" but he ran "gksudo" [03:20] _lowercase, thats not a solution you should be giving :) lol [03:20] Frijolie: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=70741 [03:20] IntuitiveNipple: Keal has been told _repeatedly_ to use "gksudo gedit " [03:21] Frijolie: can you fool HAL? [03:21] scratch_, just restarted the guest and now it's mounted as "SANSA FUZE (E:)" in Windblows [03:21] <_lowercase> but why is he using linux? [03:21] tritium: I *know* that, but it doesn't stop the later confusion :) [03:21] IntuitiveNipple, we specifically mentioned "gksudo gedit" tho [03:21] whats the diff between sudo and gksudo? [03:21] _lowercase: because he is a troll, and wants to be here stirring up trouble [03:21] sudo gedit file also work here [03:21] gksudo for graphical apps [03:21] scratch_: never messed with HAL before [03:21] <_lowercase> using the terminal is MANDATORY [03:21] fearful: Yes, it did look as if Keal was baiting you but... you never know... I've known people think the CD tray is a mug stand! [03:21] sebsebseb, drop it ;) not worth it he's just messing around [03:21] the caption for gui gksudo produces when supplied no arguments is misleading, it comes across as if root is granted to the program itself. not granting permission to use the program [03:21] Frijolie: read that post... it actually sounds really easy [03:22] fearful: ok [03:22] !gksu > O__o [03:22] O__o, please see my private message [03:22] can i get some help in setting up xvnc on ubuntu [03:22] Keal, maybe "sudo wine notepad.exe" will work and make you happy. [03:22] scratch_: thanks, I'm checking it out now..may be outdated? March 2005? [03:22] i followed part 2 of tutorial here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=135036 [03:22] should i download 8.1 or 9.04 [03:22] since it comes out april 23 [03:22] cdenny, 9.04 is in alpha test it hast many bugs etc. I would stay with 8.10 or download 8.10 [03:22] ok [03:22] cdenny: depends on when you need it. [03:22] goodbye [03:22] cdenny: there will be lots of updates to 9.04 until then [03:22] but vncviewer says connection reset by peer [03:22] order 8.10 for free [03:22] i need it now [03:23] torrents [03:23] cdenny: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:23] cdenny: go with 8.10 [03:23] cdenny: you should choose 8.10 Even if 9.04 is relased 2009-04-23 it is still likely that it is not as stable as 8.10 by then [03:23] cdenny, 8.10. upgrade if/when later. [03:23] does anyone have any suggestions for bash's readline library mode for vi or emacs i cant make up my mind [03:23] would notepad have admin access for saving /etc/apt/sources.list? [03:23] * crink prefer 9.04 than 8.10 [03:23] I have openssh-server install in 8.10 server and it seems like it will only allow one ssh connection at a time. Is this normal with the default settings? [03:23] same here, crink [03:23] anyone here run xp in workstation? [03:23] SeViLLa, oh god, I feel a vi vs. emacs holy war coming.... [03:23] :) [03:24] Keal: last warning. [03:24] Keal, no, can you just simply run the command in the terminal word for word; gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list. [03:24] still running 8.04 here [03:24] cdenny, xp dual-booting with ubuntu? in that case, I do. [03:24] how do i install nvidia drivers from the nvidia site? i'm new at linux :) [03:24] spamjam: don't. Use the ubuntu packages. [03:24] no virtual xp in ubuntu [03:24] sprinkmeier: mybad its a honest question [03:24] warning for what i am being serious, how am i supposed to know if one of you are being sarcastic? i've only been using ubuntu since saturday morning [03:24] the one from the hardware drivers list? [03:24] im bored with windows since im so smart, but i need cs3 [03:24] lolk [03:25] notepad?? haha [03:25] im just sick of stealing software [03:25] Keal, why would we be sarcastic this is official support channel. [03:25] cdenny: i thought cs3 works in wine? [03:25] sprinkmeier: what do you use?? [03:25] musikgoat|main really? [03:25] SeViLLa, do you prefer vi or emacs? choose whichever commands you're more comfortable with. Failing that, leave it at default else you'll get weirded out when you go to a box that is at default. [03:25] Keal: for trolling. You've ignored all advice. [03:25] i prefer emacs [03:25] musikgoat|main I know cs2 does, but i need cs3 for automate panorama [03:25] i tried installing those drivers, but whenever a window isn't active, it seems to disappear. i forgot what it's called haha. the top with the close and minimize button. [03:25] cdenny: yeah, i think, check the winedb [03:25] !who | cdenny [03:25] cdenny: 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 :) [03:25] 20090316202209 Keal, maybe "sudo wine notepad.exe" will work and make you happy. [03:26] is that sarcasm or not? [03:26] im sorry, i cant read this, mirc makes the text archaic [03:26] did someone tell me something [03:26] Obviously not, Keal. [03:26] Keal, you wanted to run a graphical notepad, that actually does work. Just wouldnt' do it for sources.list. [03:26] SeViLLa, default, whatever that is :-) [03:26] <_lowercase> fearful: but we're not all official supporters [03:26] ok thanks [03:26] http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ and 9.04 iso and 2GB USB flash drive(usb-boot) is enough, [03:26] hey guys i'm trying to share two folders between my laptop and desktop (both running intrepid) but there's no way I can browse through the "shared" folders i always get a "could not mount" message, is there somebody who know what could be happening? thx [03:27] _lowercase, yes but if we are helping here were all other official supporters are its because we would like to do the same if not we would be banned or what not. [03:27] sprinkmeier: i use vi for an editor but i was unaware that emacs was bash default readline [03:27] give Keal a break though folks, he's learning [03:27] i now know there is no way in hell sources.list can be editing by anything other than sudo from the terminal app having logged in as root due to being a special file [03:27] Keal: we've told you repeatedly about gksudo gedit , and you start asking about Notepad? You realize that's a Windows app? Stop trolling. If you want help, pay attention. Otherwise, leave, or I'll show you the door. [03:27] why is ubuntu 4.3gb!??! [03:27] thank you for explaining that [03:27] Keal: wrong [03:27] ?? [03:27] sprinkmeier: i changed it to vi though [03:27] I thought it was around 700! [03:28] Keal, because sources.list owner is root [03:28] cdenny: thats the dvd version with a bunch of extra apps === adante_ is now known as adante [03:28] u need sudo [03:28] hi, I am using skype call conferencing ....neither my girlfriend nor me see eachother ......I am using logitech camara...do I need any driver or soemthing is wrong with my system? [03:28] musikgoat|main :( [03:28] Keal: you don't even need a terminal, hit alt+F2, type gksudo gedit in the box, then use file > open to open any file you need to edit as root [03:28] thanks [03:28] what does it mean if I am installing 8.10 desktop.. the Partitions Formatting dialogue is up, at 5% and consistently halts after a few minutes at that point with this error message > Failed to create a file system The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sda) failed. ????? [03:28] musikgoat|main where can i find a torrent for cd [03:28] Keal: it does *not* have to be edited from the command line, as we've told you a hundred times. [03:28] cdenny: grab the cd iso, its 700, at releases.ubuntu.com [03:28] cdenny: the .torrent file is there too [03:29] Nasra, u need to open the webcam first [03:29] gksudo allows you to run gedit (a graphical app) with root priveleges. For some reason, you won't, or refuse to, try this advice. So, I'm done trying to help you. [03:29] sorry i am visually impaired, i didn't realize gedit had a gui at the top :S [03:29] Nasra, in skype u need to select "start my video" in order for the other end to see you [03:29] can anyone tell me how to compile a badram kernel for a 64 bit proc, on a 32 bit proc [03:29] * fearful sighs [03:29] yes i really am visually impaired [03:29] bonez46, bad disk? [03:29] O_o....I do all that...and nothing,.. [03:30] and yes i prefer a gui control system rather than typing commands [03:30] sprinkmeier: this is the same stuff you were helping me with the other night. [03:30] gartral: Use the gcc option -m64 [03:30] AH thank you musikgoat|main found the torrent [03:30] :( [03:30] i got it edited [03:30] musikgoat|main 1mb/s is fun :) [03:30] Keal, you'll always need to run a command to edit something as root [03:30] now what do i do now thta i deleted that line? [03:30] cdenny: for sure [03:30] Keal, okay finally run sudo apt-get update [03:30] musikgoat|main marry me [03:30] O_o >>>> start conferencing call? [03:30] Keal, you need a terminal [03:31] lol [03:31] musikgoat|main but really, i have problmes [03:31] can anyone help me with setting up xnvc? [03:31] Nasra, what do u mean? [03:31] bonez46, memory hazy... is that the 4.something you wanted to update to 8? [03:31] musikgoat|main for example, I install a new os once a week [03:31] anyone know if you can edit hal-mtab? I think I've read that it gets created dynamically [03:31] cdenny: non-commital and you want to get married :-P [03:31] Nasra, i am O__o not O_o [03:31] musikgoat|main Im hoping ubuntu will keep my interest for a while [03:32] musikgoat|main i never said for how long [03:32] heh [03:32] no.. this is a newer box.. into which I want to install several hard drives.. drives from older machines.. [03:32] i have no idea what it just did [03:32] Keal, a lot of lines came up with %? [03:32] says ... Done after [03:32] where can I get help to create dialup networking for my EC325 Huwei wireless modem [03:32] musikgoat|main but then again, windows is just boring, and it sucks that i know everything [03:32] musikgoat|main im what people call savant [03:33] ok, well, i say learn to vm then [03:33] musikgoat|main but its ok, im not like rainman, im not good with numbers [03:33] Guest43383-> use google to search for such assistance? [03:33] Keal, okay you just updated what you modified from the sources.list file, now in the same terminal you can type sudo apt-get install wine and you will have the current stable version. [03:33] bonez46, "drives from older machines" might be flaky. SMART? [03:33] musikgoat|main sorry for bothering you i cant help it [03:33] cdenny: all good [03:33] hey guys i'm trying to share two folders between my laptop and desktop (both running intrepid) but there's no way I can browse through the "shared" folders i always get a "could not mount" message, is there somebody who know what could be happening? thx [03:34] EC325 is the only thing I have to connect to the Internet and just for connectivity I had to come back to Windows [03:34] albertolempira, uses ssh to share files, much easier [03:34] fearful, he must update index list after modifing sources.list, with sudo apt-get update [03:34] bonez46, (i.e. "run a SMART test http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T. ) [03:34] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove, 14 not upgraded [03:34] samd, I know, I told him to run it and he got freaked out with the output thats all [03:34] fearful, oh, alright [03:35] fearful, my bad sry [03:35] Keal, I'm sorry first you have to remove the current version; sudo apt-get purge wine [03:35] fearful: if he prefers gui, perhaps you should teach him to use synaptic package manager [03:35] Keal: maybe this will interest you: http://vinux.org.uk/ [03:35] O__o, do I have to install something? I've never used ssh before... [03:35] tritium, Keal or use synaptic System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager ;) [03:35] i did wine --version and it still says 1.1.17 [03:36] albertolempira, ssh client should be installed by default. ssh server isn't, add via synaptic or similar [03:36] albertolempira, sudo apt-get install openssh-server [03:36] Keal, open the Synaptic package manager and search for wine and then right click hit 'completely remove' and then when thats done re-install it [03:37] fearful: thanks for working with him, and kudos to you for your patience [03:37] Good night. [03:37] i don't think ubuntu 8.10 really is a stable release, it keeps changing its behavior every time i come back from either level 4 power save or hibernate === hullo is now known as jcmoney [03:37] O__o, thanks, i guess i should find some info on the web [03:37] tritium, :) thanks [03:37] !netsplit [03:37] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [03:37] I have always used Ubuntu, I'm curious, has anyone use Kubuntu and is it any good? [03:38] sprinkmeier, thx [03:38] Droopsta915, yes Kubuntu is ubuntu using the KDE window manager, it's nice give it a try you can install it on ubuntu by "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" [03:38] can anyone get me started on reading raw from the USB? [03:38] hi i had a usb hard drive that i was using (ntfs file system) and now it wont mount, when i fdisk -l it shows up with /dev/sdb with no volumes listed any thoughts? [03:38] scratch_: ? [03:39] Nith, "reading RAW"? you mean take an image? I'd recommend dd_rescue [03:39] srpinkmeier: remember my volume label issue? [03:39] Droopsta915, kubuntu in my opinion is as good as ubuntu, just diferent interface (kde instead of gnome) [03:39] er sprinkmeier, ^^ [03:39] sprinkmeier: I mean I want to see the bytes as the usb device produces them [03:39] Frijolie, yes [03:39] as i said i don't think ubuntu 8.10 amd64 actually is a stable release because it keeps changing its behavior from before everytime i return from either hibernate or level 4 power save [03:39] Droopsta915, if your happy with gnome, id recomend to stick with gnome [03:39] sprinkmeier, FIXED! Changed "SANSA FUZE" to "SANSA_FUZE" [03:40] Nith, I know that windows has some USB-spy apps that let you look at raw traffic. Don;'t know it there's an equivalent for Linux yet. [03:40] Nith-> this is not the place for it, visit #c perhaps on how to code raw packets or sockets [03:40] Keal: either version of ubuntu's OS is going to be troublesome for certain motherboards, its all dependent on the motherboard... sometimes BIOS updates fix those troubles [03:40] Frijolie, ARGH... space in the label? [03:40] n8tuserf: thanks [03:41] sprinkmeier: thanks [03:41] sprinkmeier, yes, I guess Windblows thinks it's ok for a space, Linux doesn't [03:41] Nith: see usbmon, kernel [03:41] samd:Yes, I like gnome, i'll stick to it. What about edubuntu? I want to install Linux on my 7 year old's laptop, anyone ever try Edubuntu? [03:42] Droopsta915, try xubuntu [03:42] Droopsta915, edubuntu should be the same as ubuntu but with educational software preinstalled [03:42] Droopsta915, personally i think xubuntu's interface is nicer than kubuntu or ubuntu [03:42] Nith: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-jaunty.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt;h=270481906dc80d1b25a0c29f607ef55e83ae16be;hb=HEAD [03:42] Frijolie, sounds like someone wrote a udev hook script or something and forgot to escape spaces. [03:42] Droopsta915, 7 years old? try Xubuntu, lightest window manager. edubuntu uses gnome which might be too heavy for a 7yo [03:42] 0__o, he said 7-year-old's laptop, not my 7-year-old laptop [03:42] Droopsta915, havnt tried myself, but looks good for a small kid [03:43] sprinkmeier: or something... [03:43] musikgoat|main if i had known that last saturday i wouldn't have wasted everyone in winehq's time with inquiries about what is bugs and what isn't nor wasted everyone in ubuntu's time on reverting due to a glitch that apparently is a kernel/mobo issue not a software version issue [03:43] :< vsorry [03:43] IntuitiveNipple: this is perfect! [03:43] IntuitiveNipple: thanks :) [03:43] Keal: yeah but did you learn things? [03:43] yes i did [03:43] Nith: you're welcome [03:43] keal, wht are u trying to run with wine? which game? [03:44] He gets his way around Windows XP pretty good, but I want to start him early on Linux :) [03:44] musikgoat|main and man_in_shack must be about ready to order a hit on me by now >.< [03:44] Keal: i'm just guessing by the way, i could be wrong, but most suspend/sleep issues are due to that kind of trouble... [03:44] Droopsta915: hat's off to ya [03:44] btw xchat is horrible, this is why i wanted to use mirc under wine [03:45] Dropsta915, yeah, if he starts with linux now, with kids curiosity , imagine him in a few years xD [03:45] xchat is better than mirc [03:45] Keal, I'm on XChat right now. I dig it [03:45] Keal: you'll learn that most windows apps in wine are not as good as the linux versions, they will just take some getting used to [03:45] !better [03:45] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [03:45] Droopsta915, I started my kids on linux, with dual-boot XP for the tonka games. Now they're familiar/comfortable with both. [03:45] So from what I see, instead of using Edubuntu, or Kubuntu, or Xubuntu, I can stick with Ubuntu and get the educational software Edubuntu has and install it in Ubuntu? [03:46] xchat simply doesn't suit my needs, when i claim it is horrible, i mean xchat is horrible at suiting my personal needs and interests [03:46] Droopsta915, yes. [03:46] Keal, what is your need? [03:46] Droopsta915, yep, thats right [03:46] heh, there you go... have you tried pidgin? [03:46] its got some irc plugins that make it pretty useful [03:46] Droopsta915: correct [03:46] Keal first off i need a dynamic scripting system inline that can be manipulated in real time that is lowlevel within the applet itself [03:47] sorry chat program not applet [03:47] Droopsta915: you can also have them all in the ame install [03:47] in the same install [03:47] musikgoat|main: pidgin has incomplete irc support compared to most other irc clients [03:47] also tcl, perl, and whatever the other one were, do not fit this description [03:47] sprinkmeier, if you can use one gui, you can use them all. [03:47] i have 500gb, should i have partition os/apps and one for data? [03:47] or just all one partition [03:47] Cool, I guess i'll mess with the others in VBox just to see whats up. Thanks everyone, have a good night. And if you have kids, why not let'em get into theLinux world while they are young. :) [03:48] mirc has pretty reliable DWIM built in for example [03:48] Droopsta915, ight, g'night, have fun!! [03:48] Keal, i dont know, i only uses xchat to just chat [03:48] Droopsta915: Edubuntu is for schools, don't bother with it for a home computer, just install the two suites and what not and Tuxpaint :) in a standard Ubuntu install [03:48] cdenny, I make custom partitions [03:48] i used mirc for more than just chat [03:48] Frijolie after install? [03:48] i use Opera for everything [03:48] Frijolie or during? [03:49] thus why i find xchat so repulsive, all it is is a chat program [03:49] cdenny, oh, already after install [03:49] Keal, what do u do in irc?? [03:49] lstarnes: yeah, true [03:49] cdenny: its a good idea to break /home out for easy backups, additionally any other partitions that may have specific backup needs. [03:49] cdenny, no, I was referring to during install [03:49] O__o: heards botnets :-P [03:49] my personal scripts for mirc of which i wrote entirely myself are 90% the added functionality to mirc [03:49] im assuming it gives me an option during install? [03:49] I use bitlbee IM to connect to all my jabber accounts [03:49] saying "my kid can use linux and windows and mac" is the same as saying "my kid can drive a ford, a toyota, or a kia" [03:50] cdenny, do you have an Ubuntu install currently? or are you adding a 2nd HDD to an existing Ubuntu OS? [03:50] may be that is the reason Microsoft took over Lindows [03:50] Keal, you can write all the scripts you want for xchat, and you don't have to use some arcane scripting language. [03:50] Frijolie im using windows server 2008, and just finished burning ubuntu iso. going to install in a couple of mins [03:50] XtrHotMarSpy, i think it is more like driving an automatic, stick, and semi-automatic race car [03:50] and making a foss clone of mirc is just plain unethical due to 50% of the yearly registration fees for mirc going towards disaster relief etc === FrozenFire_ is now known as FrozenFire [03:50] XtrHotMarSpy: really? i'd think of it more as a semi, automatic and manual respectively [03:51] no!!! [03:51] crap [03:51] not cool [03:51] O__o: lol [03:51] that was a fun netsplit [03:51] now that was a good net split [03:51] theres been a few so far tonight [03:51] so how do i separate /home from everything else? [03:51] what is /home? [03:51] we should do this more often [03:51] lmao [03:51] !home [03:51] Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome === dopplerdeffect is now known as Guest11969 [03:51] ok these splits are getting annoying [03:52] !netsplit [03:52] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [03:52] why doesn't the admins force reroute everyone onto the servers that aren't splitting? [03:52] musikgoat|main, how do you figure? what's the difference between one gui interface and another? none that i can see. === Guest11969 is now known as dopplerdeffect [03:52] i had no learning curve going to other OSs that had guis [03:52] Keal: you should ask in #freenode, not here [03:52] For a VirtualBox machine, does anyone know the difference between .vdi and .sav? [03:52] XtrHotMarSpy: i guess i just don't equate the OS with the gui [03:52] XtrHotMarSpy, the trickisn't learning multiple OSs, the trick is learning learning that multiple OS's isn't difficult (something most people who grew up with only one OS can't seem to do) [03:52] XtrHotMarSpy: same here prety much, well there is a tiny learning curve when it comes to installing programs [03:53] musikgoat|main, yeah, and neither do people using a gui [03:53] Keal: there's no way to do that in the irc protocol for users who are already connectesd [03:53] XtrHotMarSpy: ,but I just installed Fedora Core 2 after using WIndows all my life [03:53] *connected [03:53] will it be pretty explanatory when installing ubuntu to separate /home? [03:53] XtrHotMarSpy: true [03:53] musikgoat|main, it makes no difference to them what the OS is [03:53] sprinkmeier: well said!! [03:53] quit [03:53] cdenny: it's easier to do seperate home partitions on a clean install [03:53] ok [03:53] SeViLLa, if slightly dyslexic... [03:53] cdenny, home is just a dir [03:53] ok [03:54] i will see if i can figure it out when i install [03:54] hi, is there a way to set the desktop wallpaper from the command line? [03:54] !home [03:54] Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [03:54] cdenny, /home = c:\Documents and Settings\ [03:55] except /home can be in a new partition [03:56] this may be a common question, but anyone know how the usb support is, in vbox? [03:57] is it pretty decent for a x64 ubuntu host and xp or win-7 client? [03:57] I have an Nvidia 8700M X2 which proprietary driver do I use? 173 or 177? [03:57] Chaorain: try the 177 [03:58] musikgoat|main, ty [03:58] !grep [03:58] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[04:05] ok ahci it is, i will install then be back after its working [04:05] goodbye [04:05] mikeshollen: your repo indexes were a bit old [04:05] musikgoat|main that is because there is no bios update for it as far as i know and never was [04:05] mikeshollen: something got updated in the online versions since you last got the indexes [04:05] gotcha, thank you sir [04:06] mikeshollen: if you are using synaptic, the refresh button does the same thing [04:06] musikgoat|main the only update was an amd64 pseudo-driver [04:06] Keal: and your cd-rom firmware [04:06] Keal: as the website seems to say at least [04:07] never saw on the hp site about a cdrom firmware [04:08] my laptop used to be a display model btw, so possibly all firmwares were already updated by the time i obtained the machine [04:08] On my server, my CLI screen is filled with lines of "Uhhuh.

[04:12] Anyone good with dun over bluetooth [04:12] logicfan: yes yes done all that [04:12] logicfan: nothings changing the background [04:13] casdf: sounds like a x issue, if you restart x, does it appear? [04:13] Jeruvy, that report is just of others having the same problem. No actual helpful information there [04:13] i can still change the solid color [04:13] supertanker: hmm, there are bugs logged on launchpad too, you could see if there is any update [04:13] is there any way to read ext4 from 8.10 yet? [04:14] Jeruvy, this is an older system, I'm probably going to take the entire rig out of this case and put in my P4 mobo and gear. I was just curious if there was any quick fix [04:14] ltsmooth42: last i heard, its only backported to the .28 kernel, which isn't going to be used in 8.10 [04:14] alright [04:14] ltsmooth42: i haven't checked though [04:15] good night ubuntu people. [04:15] lately === ltsmooth42 is now known as punkrockguy318 [04:15] is it possible to add jaunty repos to an intrepid installation and install jaunty debs? [04:16] LogicFan: thats not advisable, its going to cause all sorts of issues [04:16] LogicFan: no [04:16] thanks [04:16] supertanker: from launchpad: Running 2.6.27-10-generic (in intrepid-proposed) seems to have stopped the error. [04:16] LogicFan: but you can run jaunty alpha ;-) [04:16] bt musikgoat|main i may potentially become ubuntu's sole bugtester of thiis mobo with advanced micro designs reverse compatible quad-core athlon64 that fits in the same socket supposedly due to come out by mid december [04:17] what's are the best practices for installing software that doesn't have intrepid debs, but does have jaunty debs? [04:17] jeruvy: i restarted x, but its still only displaying the background solid color... [04:17] hey folks, i'm losing my mind. I'm trying to get a pixmap gtk2 theme working and i can't get any apps to use it. I've coped the theme to /usr/share/themes and the gtkrc file to ~/ What else would i have to do. (note, i'm not using gnome, i just want some matching gtk apps in kde) [04:17] Keal: get familiar with launchpad.net then :-P [04:17] can I know what IRC clients you people are using? [04:18] in ubuntu ofc [04:18] ruel, X-Chat/IRSSI [04:18] xchat [04:18] Bearcat: that's not how you do it [04:18] k kewl thanls [04:18] so musikgoat|main that gives you guys 9 months to help me get to know ubuntu inside-and-out like the back of my hand in order to properly and adequately bugtest this mobo with the new cpu coming out [04:18] thanks* [04:18] crdlb: oh? Teach me oh wise one :") [04:18] Bearcat: first of all, I believe kde has support for setting the gtk theme [04:18] Is there any way to at least stop console messages from flooding out my CLI screen? [04:18] Keal: you will get far by reading some of the many ubuntu guides out there for various common things [04:19] musikgoat|main by next month i will have hopefully learned like the back of my hand how to properly service this laptop [04:19] Bearcat: if it doesn't, you can use switch2 from the gtk-theme-switch package, which writes gtk-theme-name to ~/.gtkrc-2.0 [04:19] crdlb: well the idea is that soon i will be using neither kde or gnome. [04:19] crdlb: ahh [04:19] also, you can put themes in ~/.themes/ instead of doing it systemwide [04:20] the problem I have seems to be very common yet none of the fixes I've found so far work. My networking suddenly stopped working on my computer [04:20] crdlb: right, but i'd rather it were system wide [04:20] Wondering if any treo users have gotten the pone to sync over bluetooth [04:20] http://howto.pilot-link.org/bluesync/index.html [04:20] crdlb: thanks. I'll try that [04:20] what is the best tool for connecting doing a remote desktop to a ubuntu machine [04:20] right now this laptop has an after-market keyboard that is inferior to the factory keyboard that the warranty repair center did an unauthorized unneccarry replacement on [04:20] Does anybody know of any fixes? I've tried stopping networkmanager, editing resolv.conf, running dhclient just times out [04:21] i plan to swap out the keyboard with the factory one later on [04:21] !rdp | oscar [04:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about rdp [04:21] because the after market one has serious design flaws [04:21] for example the sensors aren't sensitive enough and the bus speed is too slow [04:22] the factory keyboard didn't have those two isues [04:22] oscar: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-use-remote-desktop-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html [04:22] I just saw something really new... in shell was coming out of an su session when I saw: exit [new line] you have mail in /var/mail/username... what is that? and now after googling some... how do i read it [04:23] gbear14275: you can create a mbox account 'user@machine' to check and read local mail [04:23] hello... good morning...

[04:24] guest43383 its got 10 gigs for home and 13 for the main system [04:24] LogicFan: The 'best practice' is to back-port the package [04:24] Keal: i was giving instructions to someone else about accessing his two ubuntu machines [04:24] WhyWontThisWork: if you are trying different distros there is a possibility of having lot of files without your knowledge [04:24] oh ok sorry [04:25] WhyWontThisWork: it is my experience [04:25] Keal: heh, no, i'm not a fan of giving help that way, most people learn by doing [04:25] IntuitiveNipple, thanks, i'm reading that now. is that something easy to accomplish? or, i imagine it depends on the app in question? [04:25] hi everybody, can anybody help me please? i have an issue with my sound card (HDA Intel) and that is i an hear the sound from the speakers and the headphone but when i plug in the headphones, i can still hear from the main speakers. i'm using ubuntu 8.1 [04:25] guest43383 so how much does this need for a clean install and how do I shut the migration assistant [04:25] i thoght you meant you were asking if you could take a peek directly at my hardware etc :/ [04:25] for diagnostics for your own use [04:26] crdlb: what would the manual option be? i dont have gtk-theme-switch avail.

[04:30] meglo: seems like the vnc server, if any is on that windows computer (they are not in there by default) [04:30] musikgoat|main, i can ask him to do that. But he claims he turned off the password requirement(I know) and the same error still occurs "Connection to host 'hisserver' was closed." [04:30] is funky [04:31] LogicFan: I'm trying it now [04:31] meglo: vnc is not secure traffic, and it can be run over vpn [04:31] musikgoat|main, well ok, I'll talk to him about it. [04:31] sorry, keal ^^ [04:31] musikgoat|main, yes I know, but he/they don't really care and it isn't my problem. [04:31] musikgoat|main, sshd is 'too hard' for them :\ [04:31] meglo: he may have for windows remote desktop, which is not vnc (vinagre) compatible [04:32] musikgoat|main, yes I'll see if they'll go for rdp [04:32] meglo: tsclient is, but every windows computer has a username, even if the user doesn't know it [04:32] any body got an idea of an open source application to write? [04:32] check in c:/documents and settings/ or c:/users [04:32] anyone feel like helping me? i am having trouble with update manager- very slow, but when pinging to find the best repository it freezes [04:32] %USERPROFILE% [04:32] I am having a very weird problem I can't input accents in a few applications, like texmaker and kile.

Previously I had 8.04 installed. During the installation I used the total format option. I did not select any partitions. Yet when I use the program called 'GParted" it says that I have /dev/sda1 ext 3, /dev/sda2/extended and /dev/sda5 linux-swap. What are the latter two (i.e. sda2 &sda5)? [04:34] meglo: i wasn't clear [04:34] Do sda2 and sda5 contain anything of mine on them? [04:34] ruel: not shared to a point that would make a difference [04:35] !swap | socrates [04:35] socrates: 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 [04:35] ShinyHat: well, I suggest try other repos.. :) [04:35] i have a pos software that has a lock emblem, how do i make it accessible not only via root? [04:35] Socrates swap has nothing important in it but should be retained as swap [04:35] musikgoat|main: im on mit right now [04:35] Socrates, /dev/sda2/extended is your logical partition of your hdd [04:35] What about sda2 extended [04:35] What does it do? [04:35] ShinyHat: yeah thats across the US [04:36] musikgoat|main: its ranging between 1k and 100k [04:36] tha partitions are for / home and linux-swap [04:36] Socrates: that is just a logical extension to the partition system, i don't know why they do it that way but it doesn't have any of your system data on it [04:36] necesito registrarme para jugar en tragaperras [04:36] Socrates: maybe that's a boot partition, I used to have a separate partition for boot when installing dfferent distros [04:36] musikgoat|main: when i tell it to find the best source, it freezes while pinging- what is that about? [04:36] como hago ahora? [04:36] ShinyHat: check for canadian locations as well there might be one with less hops to get to your home [04:37] Could it be something left over from 8.04?? How would I find out? [04:37] ShinyHat: my guess is that its trying to hit something, not getting a response it desires and choking, but i don't know for sure. === r33tfux0r_ is now known as r33tfux0r [04:37] ShinyHat do you live in quebec? [04:37] Good Evening all [04:38] poutine! [04:38] Keal: no, NW washington [04:38] Socrates: did you used the whole disk while installing 8.10? [04:38] Socrates: no, it's just a container for logical partitions, ignore it [04:38] musikgoat|main: does that mean we create an exclusive partition to boot ? [04:38] [04:38] Hi, id like to make a video with some pics and some music, what program could i use? [04:39] I am having trouble with multiple linux distros overtaking each other in grub loader [04:39] how can I give apache write access to a certain dir? [04:39] Okay, thanks jtaji. I have no idea what a logical partition is but I'll forget about it. Although it is 1.25GB. Is that normal? My total drive is about 80GB. [04:39] skyl, set the permissions to 777 [04:39] Guest43383: i'm not quite sure of the default partition layout for a deskotp, but i think /boot is included in the root file system [04:40] XtrHotMarSpy that seems a little extreme [04:40] ?? [04:40] skyl, well it works [04:40] XtrHotMarSpy indeed [04:40] chmod 777 [04:40] Guest43383: but grub, the boot loader is likely written to the mbr [04:40] Socrates: it contians the sda5, which is your swap, it is 1.25GB [04:40] skyl: changing its permission to 777 is risky [04:40] can it be some problem with my locale settings? [04:41] skyl: try using chown [04:41] Oh, so sda2 contains sda5? [04:41] Socrates: thats the best way to think about it [04:41] musikgoat|main: thanks for the tips, i'll try manually choosing something more local :) [04:41] Cool. [04:41] ruel, yeah but that's why we all run linux. if we get compromised, we just reinstall [04:41] my swap is 60gb [04:41] keal thats way too much [04:41] not really [04:42] Hi, my g/f and I are trying to use klavero typing tutor and it has been set to the wrong language and was wondering if someone here could help set it back [04:42] Thank you for the very useful advice! [04:42] XtrHotMarSpy: that's a bad idea you got there : [04:42] :( [04:42] swap partitions get damaged over time [04:42] klavaro [04:42] and i plan to use this swap partition for as long as the harddrive lasts [04:42] !chown | skyl [04:42] skyl: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

Swap partitions don't 'get damaged' as you suggest! The underlying disk might have bad sectors but if so it'll remap them without you knowing a thing about it [04:43] yes and 60gb of space leaves a lot of room for remapping [04:44] __mikem sorry :( [04:44] i burn hdd's until they die [04:44] Keal: or you buy cheap flash ram and store swap on that [04:44] Keal: The remapping is done at the disk hardware/firmware level, it never gets seen by the operating system [04:44] he's the patron saint of freespace, ruel [04:44] <__mikem> ruel, nobody is perfect :) [04:44] i've gone though over 35 or more hdds in the past 20 years [04:44] just for my personal machine [04:44] Keal: thats pretty normal though [04:44] __mikem: well, I used to be on "not so polite" irc servers so xD [04:45] I think its czech [04:45] for that amount of time [04:45] XtrHotMarSpy: sorry didn't know him xD [04:45] ruel, that's why you don't have any freespace [04:46] XtrHotMarSpy: ummm.. what's your point? xD [04:46] ruel, just answering your questions [04:46] anyone here familiar with tvtime tell me why I'm getting ascii garbage showing up on my screen? [04:46] now I'm confused :( [04:46] hey everyone... [04:47] Does anyone know of any good desktop recorder (voice/video)? [04:47] durt: try using restricted drivers [04:47] How would you find out if you had more than one primary partition? Would it come up in a program like Gparted?

Could there be another one, a boot one, which is not coming up in Gparted? [04:48] supertanker: try /etc/issues [04:48] oscar, reinstall and check the auto log in box when you create your username [04:49] Socrates: the default ubuntu install just has one partition for /, and one for swap, which is what you have [04:49] Socrates: all partitions are being shown in Gparted [04:49] really i have to re-install [04:49] oscar [04:49] i saw it but didnt think i would need it [04:49] oscar: well, not really.. ummm w8 a sec [04:49] Socrates: but yeah you can check in gparted [04:49] cool thanks [04:49] no you dont hang on and ill tell you how [04:49] thanks [04:49] supertanker: and /etc/motd [04:49] binarydigit, thanks [04:49] Good, so there is nothing more to my computer than sda1, sda2, and sda5 [04:49] oscar: http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-enable-automati-logon-in-ubuntu-or-kubuntu.html [04:50] sweet thanks.

What would be compatible card that would fit in such a slot? [05:18] One that doesn't drive you mad.

[05:20] wow [05:20] this is fun [05:20] Are they cheap? [05:21] lanoxx-: it would be against nautilus, yes [05:21] jtaji, ok thx [05:21] Is there a way to enable compiz without having it screw up 3D graphics? [05:22] lanoxx-: actually I wonder if it's a kernel problem [05:22] I need to uninstall squashfs so I can downgrade but it doesnt show up in the add remove programs list [05:22] stoic_: Have you tried using apt-get remove --purge? [05:22] i am tripping my socks off due to tainted chicken so i am going to head out now to dreamland, cya [05:22] Hi all what is a good guid based dvd burning software? I have an iso that only registers 700mb in size but there is actually 3.2gb worth of data in it and k3d doesnt seem to realise that and just wastes my dvd with a failed write. [05:22] lanoxx-: either way someone will help figure it out [05:22] k3b ratger [05:22] rather** [05:23] jtaji, i was thinking about that too, since the kernel would trigger the event for nautilus which in return spawns the dialogue [05:23] keepsake I tried using apt-get something or other and it freezes after it asks me to confirm ill try apt-get remove -- purge real quick to be sure [05:23] stoic_: Okay. [05:23] So, if I were actually able to make desktop effects work through to System>Pref>Appearances (say, because I had a good and compatible video card, which I don't), would that be using this Compiz thing? [05:23] gRunt sounds like you are trying to burn on cd-r's to me [05:24] Socrates: Yes. [05:24] Socrates: yes [05:24] Socrates, what card fo u have? [05:24] i installed apache using sudo apt-get install apache2.And the httpd.conf is emply! How should i bind to a different port and "127.0.0.1"? [05:24] The worst one in the world: VIA P4M800. [05:24] There's nothing that can be done. [05:24] lanoxx-: I could also see how it might be a limitation of the hardware, if it powers down the card reader during suspend, for instance [05:24] in centos it has a setup and system- and in suse there's yast.. is there a one center configuration in ubuntu console ?? [05:24] ramavadakattu don' [05:25] 7600GT only about $50 [05:25] ramavadakattu don't you want to bind to 127.0.1.1? [05:25] keepsake: apt-get remove -- purge squashfs-tools ?

[05:25] stoic_: sudo apt-get remove --purge squashfs-tools [05:26] jtaji, not necessarily, you could just use a token to remember the state, e.g. if there was a card inserted before hibernation and after hibernation, you could savely assume its the same card in the device. [05:26] hi [05:26] s/hibernation/suspend [05:26] says it cant find package . . . [05:26] after i installed ubuntu my loopback turned into 127.0.1.1 [05:27] Keal: can depend on what is set in /etc/hosts [05:27] Keal, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Troubleshooting Apache [05:27] keepsake: gksudo apt-get remove -- purge squashfs-tools cant find package purge [05:27] What's wrong with VIA anyway?

Problem is when I close volume control and re-open it, the mic captures are disabled once again...what can I do? [05:27] stoic_: don't put the space between the -- and purge [05:27] Has it something to do with VIA themselves? [05:27] stoic_: you've got an extra space before the pruge [05:27] stoic_: It's "--purge" [05:27] Keal, maybe you are looking for this: echo "ServerName localhost" | sudo tee /etc/apache2/conf.d/fqdn ?? [05:27] VIA? [05:27] i dont know if VIA makes video card [05:28] stoic_: And don't use gksudo, use sudo [05:28] how come ? [05:28] stoic_: Since apt-get is not a GUI program [05:28] ahh [05:28] Not card, integrated video [05:28] Socrates: they don't release specs like nvidia, however unlike nvidia they don't release closed-source drivers [05:29] Oh. [05:29] awesome gksudo was the problem, why it froze [05:29] Keal, no i have a dvd in an selected burn dvd image. [05:29] but the iso is most definitely 700mb says so on my desktop but I can extract it to 3.2gb in size. [05:29] keepsake: thanks gksudo was the problem [05:29] integrated video chips are crap [05:29] stoic_: Is it removing? [05:29] So, if I break into their office, steal the code, and give it to you guys, can you make a driver?

[05:36] what a useful bot === rkerr is now known as twowheels [05:36] ulaelable, yes, you will have to reinstall grub [05:36] since windows overrides it [05:36] !grub | gaintsura: first link [05:36] !grub | gainsura [05:36] gaintsura: first link: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [05:36] thanks =) [05:37] gaintsura: why re installing Windows? [05:37] gaintsura: how about going UBuntu only :D or Windows in a vm. unless you got 3D games or something like that of course [05:37] sebsebseb: Windows/Linux dual boot is actually the best choice IMO [05:38] sebsebseb: Too many programs dependent on Windows structure =\ [05:38] keepsake: well 2D stuff is fine in a virtual machine [05:38] with compiz fusion can i have a different wallpaper for each side? [05:39] sebsebseb: Not only games, but many common apps, like MSN and such, don't function on Wine, or do not have Linux programs that support all features =\ [05:39] keepsake: not wine virtual machien [05:39] msn is an app? [05:39] keepsake: running proper WIndows inside Ubuntu [05:39] sebsebseb: whats up [05:39] sebsebseb: i have lots of experience with virtual machines [05:39] XtrHotMarSpy: Windows Live Messenger, I assume. [05:39] sebsebseb: Ah, VM's, I'm mistaken. [05:40] sebsebseb: Then that's a fine idea. [05:40] sebsebseb: What do you use as the VM manager? [05:40] keepsake: if I am running Virtual machines i'll use the binary from their site http://www.virtualbox.org so I can also have USB suppourt. OSE has no USB suppourt [05:40] pidgin does that [05:40] I'm looking for a program to manage my ipod photo. Itunes doesn't seem available (through synaptics anyway) so I wonder which one I should go for. [05:41] i use suns virtualbox [05:41] keepsake: and this computer does not have hardware virtualization, and so no KVM for me [05:41] sebsebseb: Interesting, I'll look into that, since I'm running dual boot right now. [05:41] keepsake: fine for everything except 3D games basicalley [05:41] sebsebseb: How's graphics/sound editing? [05:41] keepsake: ,but soon Codeweavers Crossover Games is going to have proper Directx 10 suppourt :D [05:41] sebsebseb: And driver support? [05:41] keepsake: that depends I guess [05:42] keepsake: theres a good manual on their site plus of course #vbox [05:42] keepsake: and then there are also the VMware products [05:42] sebsebseb: And well, my pathetic ATI card won't do well with games on Ubuntu anyhow. I run Windows normally for that reason. [05:42] i have a .bundle file on a dvd, how do i run it [05:42] cdenny, do you have execute permission? [05:43] keepsake: games in Windows? [05:43] sebsebseb: Games and general compatibility =\ === segin|kvirc is now known as segin [05:43] keepsake: ok [05:43] zenlunatic: maybe? [05:43] keepsake: well wine or commercial versions of it, and vm's and then your dual booted XP? not Vista? as a last resort :) [05:43] for anyone who can help...to get recordmydesktop to work...I need to open volume control, turn on the recording switch and enable mic capture. Problem is when I close volume control and re-open it, the mic captures are disabled once again...what can I do? [05:44] cdavis, ls -l [file] [05:44] i would assume so [05:44] sebsebseb: I'm going to try VMing later so I can stay on Ubuntu more (XP sp2 btw). [05:44] keepsake: yep that's good only using a psyical Windows install, as a last resort, because nothing else would work for that app [05:44] rww sebsebseb: the quickstart portion should suffice, yes? [05:44] gaintsura: what? [05:45] for recovering grub after windows install? [05:45] zenlunatic: I checked permissions, yes i do [05:45] zenlunatic: but how do i execute? [05:45] gaintsura: Windows does not like other OS's so it goes over the MBR [05:45] cdavis, try ./[file] [05:45] gaintsura: your /boot/grub will still be there, but you got to get the thing back on the MBR as well [05:45] cdenny, while in the dir try ./blah.bundle === andyh2 is now known as andyh2|away [05:46] sebsebseb: yes, I know that, I'm saying, that the link you provided, the section called 'quick start' should be good enough, I shouldn't need to take down the rest, yes? [05:46] zenlunatic: im sorry, ive been using ubuntu for a couple of minuts [05:46] how do i get in the directory [05:46] keepsake: sure, but even then, I think this :) native Linux app :) some Windows crap ok run it in wine or commercial versions, Codeweavers, Cedega yeah. no good there? fine run in the VM. no good there fine run in a real install of Windows [05:47] !netsplit [05:47] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [05:47] nice [05:47] I felt that coming [05:47] sebsebseb: Actually all I really need are some random email clients that don't work properly with wine. [05:47] cdenny, are you in gnome? [05:47] * ice_cream relaxes and enjoys the show [05:47] zenlunatic: yes [05:48] keepsake: such as? and what's wrong with Thunderbird, Evoloution, or Kmail [05:48] cdenny, do you see the dvd icon on the desktop? [05:48] Should I cancel my Hardy -> Intrepid upgrade? [05:48] yes [05:48] cdenny, right click and properties [05:48] yes [05:48] its /media/cdrom0 [05:48] sebsebseb: FirstClass, a strange client used at my school; attaching files crash the program. [05:48] cdenny, okay so cd /media/cdrom0 [05:48] keepsake: oh email in a XP VM, well if that's all your going to do, that's not to bad [05:48] Anyone have an opinion on whether I should stay at 8.04 or go 8.10? [05:49] ah thanks [05:49] keepsake, im on 9.04 [05:49] and the ./name.bundle? [05:49] keepsake: 8.04 and 8.10 not that much different [05:49] hi, thought i'd check in again about the latest firefox/flash sound issues..seems to occur less frequently after last version update, but persists on occasion [05:49] !jaunty [05:49] Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009, Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [05:49] zenlunatic: That was actually my goal. [05:49] I was planning on installing alpha6 [05:49] cdenny, yeah when you're current working directory contains the file you may invoke it with ./file.blah [05:49] Which is why I'm upgrading to 8.10 [05:49] zenlunatic: its says root acces is required [05:49] keepsake: yeah I was going to tonight, but then change of plan [05:50] cdenny, do you have root password? [05:50] yes [05:50] but it did not give me an option to enter it [05:50] cdenny, so do that as root or sudo [05:50] sebsebseb: Virtualbox isn't compatible with 9.04 yet, is it? [05:50] Do you think that the GeForce4 MX |GeForce MX would work with 8.10? [05:50] keepsake: of course Virtualbox can run 9.04 [05:50] zenlunatic: how? [05:51] sebsebseb: Do you need to compile for 9.04? There isn't a .deb on the website. [05:51] keepsake: and sure there is no 9.04 version of Virtualbox yet, but the 8.10 one should work [05:51] sudo ./file [05:51] sebsebseb: Wouldn't it not install though, since the distro version would be wrong? [05:51] cool === default is now known as bootup [05:51] keepsake: I don't think so [05:51] can someone walk me through getting java working? [05:51] keepsake: I think it will be fine [05:51] zenlunatic: its working, thank you very much [05:51] cdenny, great to hear [05:51] keepsake: 8.10 and 9.04 alpha6 are probably pretty damn similar under the hood [05:52] sebsebseb: Okay, well, I'm almost done downloading files for 8.10, so I'll see what'll happen. [05:52] keepsake: ok [05:52] Socrates, yes it will [05:52] can I have separate wallpapers for each side of the cube? [05:52] Cool, thanks. [05:52] btw, i'm glad mplayer package by default still includes the gtk gui [05:52] cdenny: Probably, just try setting it on each side [05:52] Would most lower end nVidia cards? [05:53] keepsake: doesnt [05:53] Socrates: What's stopping you from spending a little and getting a middle-end card? [05:53] keepsake: applies to all sides [05:53] cdenny, sorry don't use that effects stuff [05:53] I'm a philosophy student. [05:53] cdenny: Ah, okay. [05:53] dang it [05:53] i just closed terminal [05:53] Socrates: I see... [05:53] and the install window disappeared [05:53] So I'm poor. [05:54] cdenny, its cool it will remember your commands [05:54] Relatively, anyway. [05:54] Socrates: Well, a middle-end card wouldn't cost you more than $50 [05:54] cdenny, just use the arrows [05:54] but it was in the process of installing [05:54] Socrates: Although a high-end one does go well above $150 [05:54] did i cancel it? [05:54] cdenny: If the process was started by that Terminal, then yes. [05:54] cdenny, yeah [05:54] :( [05:54] USD$50. But I'm in Australia; our exchange rate is terrible at the moment, and IT stuff, which is all imported, is going up in price. [05:55] hmmm [05:55] Socrates: Steal one =P [05:55] omg [05:55] i just uninstalled [05:55] then it was going to install [05:55] and i accidently clicked cancel [05:55] :| [05:55] cdenny: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:55] Socrates: Well I'm actually Canadian, so CAD50 is pretty close to 50 Australian... dollars? [05:55] How well does boxee run on ubuntu? [05:55] oh, also wanted to point out that the last couple of times i compared "aptitude safe-upgrade" to "aptitude full-upgrade" and it appeared that they've been identical in package upgrade suggestions/effect...is one of the commands obsolete..? [05:56] Yeah, possibly, I'm not sure whether your dollar has suffered as much as ours. [05:57] can someone help me get java working? [05:57] Maybe. [05:57] What's the problem? [05:57] i love this chat [05:57] Socrates: Well, at its highest, the exchange was 1.1CAD to 1 USD (usually CAD <1.00), but now it's 0.75 again. [05:57] what's the channel topic? [05:57] weweboom, try /topic [05:57] Socrates: It's actually been hovering at 0.9 recently [05:57] sorry first time, no need to be hurtful [05:57] Socrates: But dropped to 0.75 in the last weeks or so [05:57] Any way to force fsck to run on the next reboot? [05:57] where can i find themes for ubuntu? [05:58] cdenny gnome-look.org [05:58] weweboom: thank you [05:58] Or Gnome-art Next Gen app [05:58] I had a problem with Java after installing 8.10. I installed the unrestricted thingy, and it didn't work, so then I installed something called OpenJDK Java 6 Web Start and Runtime and everything worked. [05:58] Socrates try icedtea [05:58] the content on each side of the cube is the same, its not separate for each side, can i change this? [05:59] No, it works now! [05:59] i want to have one side for office, etc. [05:59] Socrates, weweboom: Why not the proprietary Java software? [05:59] Yeah, one Australian dollar gets about .65 US. [05:59] Use the official JRE [05:59] keepsake idk I'm not much of a coffee person [05:59] So I should get rid of OpenJDK Java 6 Web Start??? [05:59] But then what do I do, since it was the only thing that worked! [06:00] Socrates if it works for you don't listen to me, i thought you had a problem [06:00] Socrates: Ideally, use the one by Sun Java. [06:00] hmm, surprisingly i have had no need for jre since latest format [06:00] Socrates: But then again, don't fix it if it's not broken. [06:00] I only really need java to play powder game [06:00] Socrates: Probably most important thing you need to know with Linux =__= [06:00] Yeah, well, I would use the Sun Java one, but when I was just using it I couldn't even get into this chat room. [06:00] keepsake, i disagree [06:00] ice_cream: it's good to have the JRE installed (I'm a Java programmer) [06:00] customize, break, and learn [06:01] I didn't know that OpenJDK Java 6 Web Start was not official. I just installed it. [06:01] ice_cream: True, but there's been times when there wasn't much learn, just "revert what was broken". [06:01] Will it cause massive problems later? [06:01] heh [06:01] Does anyone know how to get network monitoring working in Conky? [06:01] Socrates: Massive? No. [06:01] I didn't even know there was an ubuntu chat, just say it in xchat list [06:02] But what could go wrong? [06:02] just dont forget the roots -- one of the major ideas behind the open source community is the freedom to change anything with your system [06:02] ubuntu wont let me eject the disk [06:02] it says cannot unmount [06:02] _abc_: Where do the two letters 'ff' come from in 'ffmpeg'? [06:02] Socrates: To be honest, not much, but it might not be as good as Sun Java, that's all. [06:02] cdenny try using unmount [06:02] has anybody here heard about a problem with intrepid and virtualbox? [06:02] cdenny: umount -f [06:02] same message [06:02] Where do the two letters 'ff' come from in 'ffmpeg'? [06:03] I'm looking forward to buy a slightly high performing linux computer that is 1) of small form factor, 2) enough memory and dual core (I'll be bulding lots of programs on this besides running XUL apps). any suggestions? [06:03] Okay, that's alright. Why doesn't the normal Sun Java work? It worked fine in 8.04. [06:03] .,.,.,.,. [06:03] ./././// [06:03] sanal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:03] Socrates: Not sure here, I'm running 8.04 (at least for the next couple of minutes), and it works fine for me. [06:03] -f doesnt appear to be correct [06:03] Yeah, well I'll be interested to see what happens. I installed 8.10 just today also. [06:03] cdenny: What are you trying to unmount? [06:04] has anyone else noticed how much longer it took to install intrepid ibex then it did to install hardy heron? is that just me? [06:04] keepsake: dved [06:04] dv [06:04] dvd [06:04] They ought to fix this problem. Heaps of people seem to be having it. [06:04] cdenny: You don't need to unmount DVDs [06:04] Java worked in 8.04 for me. No worries. [06:04] I keep having a problem where VBox is eating all of system ram, eveb after closing the program. Figuring it has to be a kernel bug because the same version of the program doing the same thing worked in Hardy just fine. [06:04] cdenny: You can't just open the CD bay? [06:05] keepsake: no lol it says it cant [06:05] keepsake: an application is using it [06:05] cdenny try holding down the button, always works for me [06:05] stick a paperclip in the hole [06:05] like hold it down indefinitley [06:05] weweboom: nope, the message pops up after about 10 seconds [06:05] lmao [06:06] well I'm out of ideas, sorry [06:06] cdenny: Do you know which program? [06:06] cdenny: You can always just force end the program. [06:06] it was an installer [06:06] Socrates: Try 9.04 =P [06:06] it installed vmware workstation [06:06] cdenny: System -> Administration -> System Monitor [06:06] But it's not ought yet is it? Not the proper version I mean. [06:07] ought = out [06:07] cdenny: And kill any instances of VM and stuff [06:07] the cd drive has a small hole in it. stick a paperclip in there and push. it'll open. [06:07] Socrates: No, it's still alpha right now. [06:07] Socrates: But I'm taking the risks and doing the upgrade anyway. [06:07] \o/ [06:07] cdenny, can you log out of all sessions then log back in, pop open a terminal and type eject /dev/yourdrivepath ? [06:08] Arkain: Ctrl + Alt + Backspace =P [06:08] What will happen if I upgrade to 9.04 when I have OpenJDK Java 6 Web Start on my computer as well as the official Java? [06:08] i killed vmware_tray, didnt fix it [06:08] keepsake: doesn't get any terminal sessions that may be running on the console [06:08] Will the whole thing collapse? [06:08] Arkain: Ah, but I doubt many people run console terminal commands. [06:08] Socrates: I'll tell you soon enough =P [06:09] Socrates: 1401/1420 files for 8.10... [06:09] I bet it doesn't work.

[06:12] I mean, upgrading using the upgrade tool rather installing from a CD. [06:12] my blankie is bounty fresh! :D [06:12] Checked that XrtHot in OK [06:12] Socrates: Using upgrade manager.

[09:42] sprinkmeier, however the one that died is the one that contains the boot sector and nice important stuff like that. [09:42] numskull, what was the setup? RAID0? RAID1? LVM?

RAID0 aka striping sprinkles the data as far and as wide as it can in an effort to improve performance. loosing one disk pretty much means you're hosed. [09:44] gladio70: put a /# [09:44] numskull, can you dd_rescue any of the dead disk? [09:44] sprinkmeier: which is why raid0 isnt really raid [09:44] numskull: got backup? [09:44] sprinkmeier, its no 0 [09:45] sprinkmeier, i got it wrong first time its 1 [09:45] sprinkmeier, so we are okay ish [09:45] Skaarj: http://paste.ubuntu.com/132371/ [09:45] afancy: i am trying to get zypper by using alien, but i does wor because zypper is a very complex software , so im open for more advice [09:45] vigo: thats a man page for apt... i already tried apt-get purge package-name [09:45] sprinkmeier, the drive is okay haven't been able to mount the LVM partition [09:45] sprinkmeier, as in i haven't tried [09:46] numskull, Can you re-create the software RAID set? [09:46] numskull: sure, dd the data from one drive to another and you're fine. your array should rebuild itself if its hard raid rather than garbage onboard [09:46] numskull: you'll need to replace the disk [09:46] ActionParsnip1, yeah i have backup [09:46] gladiator: That one also shows about resume, repair and update sources list, and much more in the manual!

(make sure you keep that second working disk though, just in case the backup isn't as recent as you thought or the restore fails :-) [09:47] BABER: root is disabled under ubuntu ... ty the name of an useraccount [09:47] BABER, ssh denies root logon by default. log on as a normal user and sudo if you have to.

[09:48] is there any good howto that can help me conect a linux machine to a ebox domain (trough winbind)? [09:48] sprinkmeier, the remaining disk can boot somewhat [09:49] numskull, then try to re-create the software-RAID disk-set. ONce that's done an vlm-scan should find the LVM stuff which should then be mountable again (give or take an fsck) [09:49] my internet connection is intermitent... sometimes it works. so it.. by itself [09:49] sprinkmeier, i gave it an mbr and pointed it at the disk [09:49] sprinkmeier, but... [09:49] so it stops.. but i keep connected [09:49] sprinkmeier, it drops me into a busybox terminal before getting to logon prompt [09:49] Newbie : Can any one please suggest me good editor other than vi? iam struggling with vi. [09:49] but my firefox cant open anything.. so i wait a little and it came back [09:50] hi [09:50] numskull: if you bang in a replacement and boot to live cd, you can dd the data to create an extra raid disk [09:50] hi [09:50] sprinkmeier, i'm starting to think that restore from backup is where i'm gonna go but i have come here as a last ditch effort [09:50] numskull, IMAGE THE DISK! Whatever you do, you want to make sure you don't make things worse. If anything fails, if a dd goes the wrong way, if the RAID1 repllicates the wrong way or whatever the last thing you want to do is loose the only good copy of the data you currently have available. [09:50] can anybody help me plz??? [09:50] Appocc: ? === spaztiK is now known as haptiK [09:50] numskull, nusybox sounds like it cant find all of itself.

Symlinks to directories on manually mounted drives are disappearing randomly since 8.10. Possibly some kind of daemon watching mounts?

[10:11] is there any gui tool for compiling the driver source of a kerenl [10:11] ActionParsnip1: The symlinks are being deleted by some process, often while the drive still has files open. [10:11] JabberWokky: a hard link would vanish when the device was unmounted, ln -s would create a softlink and would stay [10:11] JabberWokky: sounds like a bug [10:11] ActionParsnip1: I know that. I am very familiar with ln. [10:11] got it appocc? [10:11] somebody know of a ubuntu 8.10 repos with monodevelop 2 beta 2 packages? [10:12] dan-ubuntu, ok. im here.. what i need to do now?? [10:12] JabberWokky: a process watching the whole drive like that sounds a little unnecessary to me so i cant see it being implemented [10:12] ActionParsnip1: It appeared right after I (fairly recently) upgraded my desktop to 8.10. Something is "helpfully" cleaning up links, is my guess... [10:13] not that ive personally know of, maybe someone else can chime in [10:13] using GNOME, is there a way to connect to the root folder of a samba server rather than the share? [10:13] ActionParsnip1: Yeah, I thought that too. I just can't think of anything else that might be doing this. A sshfs mountpoint is doing the game. [10:13] jscinoz: Could you tell me which one should i installed? [10:13] can i reinstall pulseaudio??? [10:13] yes [10:13] Kartagis: no, onl the shares are visible to the system [10:13] wait [10:13] how can i do it? [10:13] why, do you want to do that? [10:13] afancy: what is your graphics card? [10:13] cause my sound was working and its not anymore [10:14] did you restart it? [10:14] no..i just closed it [10:14] Kartagis: if the system is a windows box, then ALL partitions are shared with a $ after the partition letter [10:14] i dun kow how to open it again lol [10:14] Kartagis: so you can in that instance [10:14] ActionParsnip1: s/doing the game/doing the same. [10:14] Appocc, try a 'sudo alsa force-reload' if that doesn't work it should give you error messages. [10:15] JabberWokky: i'd log a bug or see if this is a new "feature" [10:15] ActionParsnip1, but shouldn't I be able to? because I can do that using windows [10:15] Any hint on how to fix this error? svn: warning: cannot set LC_CTYPE locale svn: warning: environment variable LANG is en_US.UTF-8 svn: warning: please check that your locale name is correct [10:15] <_infidel> is there something in ubuntu similar to the "usbmodules" command?

[10:19] <_infidel> the "usbmodules" command is a way to determine which modules are required for a particular device. Is there something similar in ubuntu? [10:19] ManateeLazyCat: did you add it in the correct synatax [10:19] ActionParsnip1: how can find ports? [10:19] ActionParsnip1: I don't know why Ubuntu 8.10 can't work like Debian, i have two machine, one is Debian, one is Ubuntu 8.10 [10:19] jscinoz: i think so, but when i go into the recovery mode, how can it enable the network connection in command line? [10:19] Appocc, hmm, don't think that's got any thing to do with alsa or pulseaudio. [10:20] anyone know how to configure an apple bluetooth wireless aluminum keyboard with 8.10? i keep getting 'pairing failed' [10:20] ActionParsnip1: Yep, after i add it, it can work, but failed when i reboot. [10:20] ManateeLazyCat: you need to add the word 'nameserver' to the beginning of it [10:20] ActionParsnip1: Yep, i did [10:20] BABER: ports of what, can you expand on your vague question [10:20] hi, currently i'm dual-booting ubuntu and vista using grub; i'm going to install windows xp how do i do it? just install it? [10:21] I'm listening to a stream online, and the flash container is REALLY crappy, is there a way to find the direct stream URL I can throw into VLC or something? [10:21] jimijix: install it but you will need to reinstall grub if you are installing to the same disk that has grub on [10:21] ActionParsnip1: ports that are opened or i have used them [10:21] ActionParsnip1: First is setup static IP in /etc/network/interfaces, and remove "inet dhcp", and add "namesever 192.168.1.1" in /etc/resolv.conf [10:21] BABER: netstat -a [10:21] ActionParsnip1: But now it can't work again. [10:21] phuzion: There are some Firefox addons, but you can also use "ngrep GET |grep -A5 flv" at the commandline. [10:21] ManateeLazyCat: you need to have inet static [10:22] ManateeLazyCat: can you pastebin your interfaces file please [10:22] ActionParsnip1: Ok [10:22] ActionParsnip1: for example how can understand pidgin is use from which port? [10:22] well found a bug, if you place gnome-panel at the right of the screen, windows list applet crashes if you open smt like 10 windows. it somehow couldnt use the space and expand itself. [10:22] apple aluminium bluetooth keyboard with ubuntu anyone? [10:22] ActionParnsip1: thanks, I have ubuntu and vista on the first disk, i'm going to install windows xp on the second; do i still need to install grub? [10:22] BABER: netstat -a | grep pidgin [10:22] well found a bug, if you place gnome-panel at the right of the screen, windows list applet crashes if you open smt like 10 windows. it somehow couldnt use the space and expand itself. if you place gnome-panel at the top or at the bottom this does not happen and eveything works fine. [10:23] phuzion: You'll be looking directly at the browser <-> server chatter, so you need to be able to read it. If it's too confusing, try a plugin. [10:23] jimijix: no, just add an entry into grub to load up the new OS on the other disk [10:23] ActionParsnip1: so i just install xp, then add the entry in grub? [10:24] jimijix: pretty much, yes [10:24] ActionPrsnip1: thanks buddy :-) [10:24] ActionParsnip1: noting do [10:24] * ManateeLazyCat pasted "/etc/network/interfaces" at http://paste2.org/get/166165 [10:24] jimijix: a boot sector will be written to the other didk so grub will be untouched [10:24] ActionParsnip1: See above at http://paste2.org/get/166165 [10:24] ActionParsnip1: i typed netstat -a | grep pidgin [10:24] BABER: netstat -a shows all active socks including ones sat listening [10:24] ActionParsnip1: thanks buddy :-) [10:25] Hi, how to enable network connection in Recovery mode command line?

[10:26] ManateeLazyCat: can i see your /etc/resol.conf file [10:26] those guides are quite old... [10:26] ActionParsnip1: I found Ubuntu will with "inet dhcp", so i setup static ip [10:26] ActionParsnip1: One sec [10:26] do you folks use lvm? [10:27] chronographer, used to on fedora.

[10:32] ActionParsnip1: Ubuntu is so great, but can't connect is so bad. It make me crazy. [10:32] virtualbox isn't all free I understand [10:32] ManateeLazyCat: if you add a few of those IPs as nameservers in resolv.conf, you will be able to browse the web [10:32] ActionParsnip1: thi is my netd=stat -a output how can understand pidgin which of these ? http://www.binpaste.com/v.php?id=4jabp [10:32] chronographer: the software is, the OS you install in it may not be [10:32] ManateeLazyCat: ubuntu is great, in new version the conection is very good [10:33] Mkman: New version?

[10:39] chronographer personally i cant see the point of software raid [10:39] nate[oz]: from what?

[10:40] chronographer: onboard raid controllers are garbage [10:40] partitions get built, files start copying and it stops at 66% and gives this error [10:40] Hi, how to enable the network connection under command line in Recovery Mode? as my X-Server is broken i need to fix it. thanks [10:40] chronographer software lvm is good if you want a large volume from small drives, hardware raid gives you all the redundncy enterprise demands [10:40] same error this guy got: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=600126 <- but none of the solutions in here work for me [10:40] nate[oz] have you checked your media [10:41] afancy: type ifconfig if you have an ip you are good to go [10:41] I just want expandable partitions for movies etc. [10:41] yea, tried 2 different cds, a dvd and a usb stick [10:41] all the same [10:41] tried different ram even [10:41] ActionParsnip1: i have type ifconfig but it doesnt work [10:41] nate[oz]: is that your initial post? [10:41] nah, someone else with same problem [10:41] i've tried everything in that thread though [10:42] afancy: try /sbin/ifconfig [10:42] nate[oz]: did you md5 check your iso as well as verify the cd was ok once burned and booted to? [10:42] nate[oz]: HDD full? [10:43] ActionParsnip1: i dont mean there is no ifconfig, but i have run this command it still doesnot enable the network [10:43] nah, completely empty, 500GB [10:43] ActionParsnip1: haven't done the md5 check yet, but downloaded from official website 2 different times on 2 different cds [10:44] if you downloaded with torrent, you can check the integrity of the file... or use md5 check suggested above [10:44] afancy: ifconfig doesnt enable the network. Its to see if its already up and running with an ip address [10:44] nah, right from ubuntu.com [10:44] nate[oz]: doesnt matter [10:44] is there any gui tool for compiling the driver source of a kerenl [10:44] Hi. I want to install Ubuntu Intrepid with a normal install CD from an IDE CD-ROM drive, but when I select anything from the star-up menu I find myself in this BusyBox shell and get errors like 'scsi 0:0:2:0: timing out command, waited 22s'. [10:44] nate[oz]: you could pull it down a million times and never get a good image [10:44] ActionParsnip1: no, it doens up [10:45] <_infidel> the "usbmodules" command is a way to determine which modules are required for a particular device. Is there something similar in ubuntu? Anybody? Thanx in advance [10:45] worth a shot, I've read many people with the same problem doing md5 checks and it coming out good... only reason I haven't tried it [10:45] coming out good = md5 check is a success [10:45] nate[oz]: md5 check the iso you downloaded as well as check the cds are ok. Once we know its not those at fault you can progress, if you have bad disks in your hands you will have a tonne of issues due to incorrect data on the disks [10:46] afancy: try sudo ifup [10:46] I've tried usb stick also, and dvd... so if md5 checks out I'm running out of options [10:46] brb [10:46] will check [10:47] nate[oz]: md5 check your ISO [10:47] nate[oz]: you shouold have checked it as soon as you downloaded it [10:47] nate[oz]: before you did anything [10:47] ActionParsnip1: i have tried, but there is no network device name [10:48] afancy: what does ifconfig return? [10:48] afancy: then you need to find out what you have [10:48] afancy: try: sudo lshw -C network [10:49] afancy: you need to find where ifconfig is lying so you can configure / probe your hardware [10:50] does anyone know about a program to compare two text files and print which lines are different, but not taking the order of the lines into account?

Welcome to #ubuntu! === moversti is now known as MM2 [10:53] Kartagis: ok, i’ll look again, i’ve already had a quick look and haven’t seen anything [10:53] Any ideas regarding my problem? [10:54] I have installed the latest version of catalyst, and with the control center, I have configured the dual screen: extended desktop overlay. [10:54] I wanted to have 2 different desktop, and tried Xinerama: catastrophic!!! [10:55] since then, I can't go back to my working config. I have tried "sudo aticonfig --initial", and "sudo aticonfig --initial=dual-head --desktop-setup=clone" and it does not work [10:55] Debian is hard work? [10:56] ActionParsnip1: you were right, md5 was incorrect, cheers for the time and effort [10:56] I have 2 screens, the mouse goes from one to the other (as if I still had an overlay), but the computer looks to be thinking, and does not show my toolbars... [10:56] any idea? [10:57] nate[oz]: i will reitterate [10:57] nate[oz]: ALWAYS check MD% [10:57] ja [10:57] nate[oz]: ive seen a tonne of users coming in moaning about bad installs and its nearly always MD5 [10:58] I guess I made the assumption the iso was alright being that I *thought* I'd used it in a vm install... which worked fine [10:58] nate[oz]: if you download ANY large image file and there is an MD5, get that too and check what you have [10:58] guess it must have been a different iso [10:58] nate[oz]: then check the disk is consistant on the first boot screen to check the burn succeeded [10:58] Or download using bittorrent which will check the file is good for you [10:58] ja [10:58] torrents are always slow fo rme [10:58] why would ping resolve to a host in /etc/hosts file when the domain does not exist? [10:58] i get a good 1MB/sec off my isp mirrors [10:59] just have to wait until offpeak [10:59] how do I check if I use jack or not?

[11:02] kelli: It's already installed [11:03] For ex: ln -s /home/pinaxsnetwork/site_media /var/www/site_media , here /var/www/site_media should point to /home/pinaxsntwork/site_media contents instead of site_media directory [11:03] how do i make an apple remote work with a macbook 3.1 in ubuntu 8.10? [11:03] funkyHat, i'm new to this but i need help [11:03] kelli: actually, are you wiping a disc because you want to protect sensitive data, or do you just want to reinstall your OS? [11:04] funkyHat, data [11:05] dan-ubuntu: run lsusb; lspci [11:05] funkyHat, cant find it [11:05] dan-ubuntu: one line will ientify the hardware if its detected [11:06] kelli: ok. shred is a command-line application, it writes over files you tell it with random sequences of data, and then optionally blanks it all at the end as well, it takes quite a long time for big files, and is probably completely unnecessary if your data is on a flash device [11:06] kelli: also if it is a flash device writing to it lots of times isn't such a good idea anywya [11:06] *anyway [11:06] cant i install ubuntu on fat [11:07] ubd: very bad idea [11:07] is that an answer ^^ [11:08] ubd i would suspect you would have permissian problems to begin with [11:08] ubd: fat can't have file ownerships or permissions, so it wouldn't boot properly [11:08] alright [11:08] ubd: are you wanting to instal ubuntu on usb by any chance? [11:09] this is an usb drive: i want downloaded torrents to be on fat. [11:09] ubd: then create a seperate partition for torrent data [11:09] Hey guys, I have an internal sata partition that is mounted automatically at boot. What option do I need to add to my fstab so that my regular user can have read and write privledges? [11:09] whats the minimum space for ubuntu apche samba [11:09] xubuntu actually [11:09] hi there. Where can i find documentation with regards to the config of the various ubuntu server kernel packages? (specifically linux-image-2.6.27-??-server ? [11:10] ubd you could go guiless for apache and samba [11:10] 10 gb is enuf? [11:10] ubd: 2Gb or thereabout is my guess, depends if you strip the other apps out of xubuntu [11:10] cylux, change ro (read only ) to rw (read write) [11:10] koshari: can i install base only? [11:10] ubd or you could use flux thats lighter than xfce [11:10] luuik: which config? kernel config can be checked at /boot/config-$(uname -r) [11:11] ubd: i run a full install with a decent rack of apps off a 5Gb / partition [11:11] ubd you sure can [11:11] how? [11:11] !minimal [11:11] is ubuntu able to resize the running partition? [11:11] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [11:11] durt: THanks, how do I make the changes take effect without restarting? [11:11] i have the whole xubuntu cd - cant i install base with this? [11:12] zamba: no; mounted partitions can not be edited... use a livecd if you want to do such a thing [11:12] there may be an option at startup? [11:12] is there [11:12] erUSUL: yep, thats the config. I'm trying to find a package version with a particular set of options disabled. I could do it manually, but i'd prefer not to have to customise the kernel for this installation. [11:12] ubd you could install then prune back unneded packages, [11:12] guys .... if a process is running in bg by another terminal... can i run it in fg in my current terminal .... ????? [11:12] i see ok [11:12] cylux, unmount (umount) the device and remount (mount -a) it. [11:12] durt: Thanks. [11:12] luuik: i'm afraid you will have to. there is only one version of the server kernel afaics [11:13] cylux, perms might need to be changed in user/group attributes tho. [11:13] erUSUL, mmm. unfortunate. thanks :) [11:13] luuik: no problem [11:13] durt: It's not letting me mount it, says I still need to be root [11:14] #ubuntu-it [11:14] cylux, to mount 'sudo mount -a' [11:14] guys .... if a process is running in bg by another terminal... can i run it in fg in my current terminal .... ????? [11:14] hi [11:15] is there no root acc ?! [11:15] durt: Okay, still don't have rw privledges. [11:15] lili: hi [11:15] omfg [11:15] Mba7eth, don't think so. if you want to do that kind of thing, you should look at the application called "screen" [11:15] !root | ubd [11:15] ubd: 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 [11:15] ubd no you use sudo for root functions [11:15] why would i use sudo? [11:16] thats gay - no offense [11:16] hey guys what package is it to get german language to function on my system [11:16] ubd to perform root functions [11:17] this pc is going to be remotely managed... [11:17] whatever [11:17] ubd use ssh [11:17] ssh with sudo [11:17] ubd if you need to perform a root function [11:18] erUSUL: and then i have to resize the fs as well.. is this doable? [11:18] Hey guys, I have an internal sata partition that is mounted automatically at boot. What option do I need to add to my fstab so that my regular user can have read and write privledges? [11:18] erUSUL: .. if i use the live-cd, i mean [11:18] sajuuk, tried going to system, adminitration and language support [11:18] mysticdarkhack, i will do that [11:18] zamba: gparted should be able to do both things without problems [11:18] cylux, what device is this your main install partition? [11:18] erUSUL: ok, cool [11:19] zamba: but messing with partitions is allways risky bussiness backup anything important [11:19] cylux use the same settings as your root partition in fstab [11:19] durt: Nope. Seperate [11:20] cylux, add a 'rw,' in front of relatime [11:21] durt: Alright [11:21] thx mysticdarkhack that was the solution :) [11:21] good night all [11:21] anyone on Jaunty with mobile ATI graphics? any workarounds? [11:21] cylux, 'sudo umount /dev/' then 'sudo mount -a' [11:21] sajuuk, np and yw [11:22] durt: Still no rw privledges. [11:24] cylux, you probably need to give the user permission to use the directory. Easy to do with 'sudo nautilus' or whatever file-manager you use. [11:24] sa, what do yall think of the new jaunty gdm theme? [11:24] cylux, just be carefull what you do running nautilus as root.

[11:47] weatherkid: it's off topic so please don't ask [11:47] weatherkid: there are offtopic channels [11:47] BigMoopies: if you use GNOME, the QT version will pull in a ton of extra libraries. the FTK version should have most of what it needs already. [11:47] sorry =[ [11:47] BigMoopies, I don't know about Avidemux but it sounds like your just desribing front ends. So Gtk for Gnome and Qt for KDE. [11:47] OK. [11:47] i have 2 files that i cannot open and they're saying invalid encoding , the files are very important for me [11:47] any clue? [11:48] ubuntistas, open with what?, what type of files?

[12:02] henriquelm: you may try X over ssh [12:02] henriquelm: i'm not trying to be nosy, but there may be *far* easier ways to do what you want than VNC. [12:02] mneptok, to install new apps, update, setup, reboot, etc [12:02] henriquelm: all of those tasks can be done from the command line [12:03] mneptok, but not so good with linux [12:03] !git [12:03] Git is a distributed revision control/software code management project created by Linus Torvalds. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) [12:03] henriquelm: and you should do them from the command line over ssh. VNC is a big security risk. [12:03] henriquelm: is this for a corporate network or home? [12:03] henriquelm: so what you're saying is, "I'm not so good with this OS. Help me open a large security hole." not a good idea, IMO. [12:03] mneptok, but it's just a small company, no big deal [12:04] henriquelm: private data is always a big deal. [12:04] henriquelm: hopefully your boss is not reading this forum. [12:04] henriquelm: alternatively, you could use Landscape. [12:04] mneptok, what is it? [12:05] henriquelm: remote monitoring and admin app for Ubuntu. comes as part of any Canonical support contract. [12:05] henriquelm: http://landscape.canonical.com [12:05] mneptok, thanks [12:06] henriquelm: either way, please do NOT use VNC to admin a Linux server attached to the public Internet. [12:06] henriquelm: your best bet, if it's a production server, is to take the time and learn the commandline and do it right. [12:06] or employ someone to run the server for you [12:07] mneptok & henriquelm: VNC over SSH isn't so bad... [12:07] mneptok, i'm using the companys network to have access to the server, not the internet [12:07] henriquelm: that's a little better, but still ....

[12:20] trapline91, if you want to use someones wifi illegally, you might as well just get TOR [12:20] much easier [12:20] trapline91: that's what filesharing typically entails, especially if it's off of someone elses connection. [12:20] Huufarted: oh, then sry ... [12:20] Well if they didn't want you to use it then they need to smarten up and put security on it [12:20] if it's the browsing tha tyou don't want on your ethernet line [12:20] trapline91: that's fallacious logic [12:20] trapline91: no, not really.

[12:22] thank you sipior [12:22] sipior, the only problem with that is with stuff like BitTorrent, most of the connections would go over the default route [12:22] Well I don't use bittorrent [12:23] sipior: you'd have to specify a route for each of the peers you're connected to [12:23] trapline, then that's a non-issue for you more than likely. [12:23] Huufarted: yep. not my problem, however :-) [12:23] anyone know how long it would take to clean a 500G hd with "shred"? [12:23] kelli: depends on drive speed and connection (USB/Sata/IDE) and individual PC specs. [12:24] trapline91: which application are you using for file sharing? [12:24] Huufarted, usb 2 [12:24] trapline91: if you don't mind me asking, that is. [12:24] kelli, more than likely, I'd say about 1-2 hours. Perhaps more.

[12:26] llvm with gcc frontend [12:26] sipior, [12:27] compatibility is not my problem, my problem is "how to set up the operating system to choose another compiler by default", sipior [12:27] erle64-: might be easiest going with a "linux from scratch" approach. or gentoo. [12:27] sipior, i just want to build a single app [12:27] sipior, that app uses a makefile, which runs on any unix flavor [12:27] Is there a command to list currently mountable drives in ubuntu? I have an Ext3 Drive with multiple partitions on a USB drive and I want to mount it in Ubuntu. [12:28] thanks for the help guys [12:28] sorry i took so long to answer [12:28] erle64-: oh, i see. well, you can certainly set environment variables as needed to make sure you're using the correct version of the compiler and C library. check the "CC" variable, among others. also, try "./configure --help" if the thing uses autoconf. [12:28] someone was saying something about vnc over ssh, it that secure? [12:28] net [12:29] sipior, ok [12:29] I'm having an issue mounting an Ext3 drive in Ubuntu. Anybody able to tell me where I can see a list of USB drives so I can mount it manually? [12:29] sipior, the languages should be compatible, but the binary format not, so i need the llvm linker and c++ compilers set, too [12:29] Huufarted, I was wanting to just set up a shared folder on a home network [12:29] hey guys, i have /home mounted to a separate partition, i tried out kubuntu with a clean install but using the same home partition, now ive returned to a clean install of ubuntu and my scrollbars are weird, they have both buttons at the bottom. what can i do to fix that [12:30] . [12:30] I just did some research on the "stealing wifi" and they say it isn't illigal if the wifi is open and there is no attempt to secure it. [12:30] erle64-: depending on how the makefile is generated, you may have to do a fair bit of editing. generally however, you can simply set environment variables to set compiler and linker options. [12:30] trapline91: look, just let it go. it's rude, and that's enough reason not to do it. [12:30] !freenx | henriquelm_ [12:30] henriquelm_: FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [12:31] henriquelm_: vnc sucks :) [12:31] trapline91, then you can set a static route for all traffic to that IP to use a specific gateway. However, the OS should handle that provided both interfaces have different subnets [12:31] trapline91: then what you read is outdated. It is illegal. People have been and will continue to be charged with a crime for doing it. [12:32] Drop the issue, trapline91. Do not discuss using wifi without the owner's consent. It's an illegal practice and as indicated with !illegal, it is not a welcome topic. [12:32] Huufarted: it's only as illegal as the state allows, actually.. not all states have it on the books [12:32] Huufarted: so he should probably check with his local municipility before proceeding [12:32] looking into it now [12:33] gentlemen give it a rest or take it to offtopic [12:34] Gnea, ok thanks! [12:37] I currently have a drive with 2 EXT3 partitions on it. What's the best way to format it to a single Ext3 partition? [12:38] Huufarted: back up everything and reformat. or, back up the higher cylinder partition, remove it, and then expand the other one. [12:38] Huufarted: use gparted remove the two partitions create a new one [12:39] Huufarted: or you meant without data loss ? [12:39] sipior, it's the reformatting (repartitioning) that I'm unsure of. [12:39] erUSUL: thanks I'll do that. [12:39] erUSUL: I don't give a fart about the data. :) It was a hard drive upgrade.

If it's one-time I'd recommend something ghetto like GMail or google docs [12:42] krzd, you can use Inkscape to edit pdf files [12:42] or export the text [12:43] i want to convert it including all pictures and formatting. i want to use it a lot [12:43] hej [12:44] ziomy sa [12:44] !pl | darek [12:44] darek: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl [12:45] is ubuntu server free?

[13:23] Hey, I'm trying to restore my ubuntu installation from the damage of a windows install that overwrote the mbr. I booted from a live ubuntu CD and did fdisk -l but only see one partition [13:24] how to go to french version? === drostie is now known as drostie|zombie [13:24] aclonedsheep, use sudo fdisk -l [13:24] sounds like somebody used the restore partition [13:24] or cd [13:24] Okay. I realize this might be a pipe dream, but I'm going to ask. On OS X, there is a terminal program called iTerm. It has a feature that allows me to open up tabs, and if I have a separate SSH session open on each tab, I can send a single command that executes *simultaneously* on each session. (that's the important part) Does anyone know of a terminal program for Linux that has just such a feature? [13:24] !list [13:24] Hi!

Specificly, for GCC... I read that it's supposed to be in GCC 4.x, but I'm getting errors about it not being defined [13:30] and you may have to run it as root, I don't remember [13:31] sipior, I installed mono-smcs. What now? [13:31] yes as root [13:32] jetscreamer: and hopefully he'll know to reboot once he's done with that [13:33] heh [13:33] and has the kernel headers and kbuild [13:34] I just upgraded my laptop to Jaunty (x64 platform), and now Gnome won't start properly, I just get the wallpaper and nothing else. What has gone wrong? :) [13:34] archman: make sure you have the mono-jit package installed, and you should then be able to compile code with "mono" [13:34] ok, off to try off your suggestions jetscreamer, superlag [13:34] here goes [13:34] brb [13:34] I get the error ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave in ubuntu hardy [13:34] any idea how to fix it?

(my Ubuntu is booting very slow so I wanna reinstall) [13:36] I am newbie [13:36] for linux === florin is now known as Guest76277 [13:37] I can run simple commands [13:37] backup anything you want to keep [13:37] Ajit: backup /etc /home /var/lib/mysql etc [13:37] Ajit: it will continue to boot slow if it did at first [13:37] how can gedit display japanese? [13:37] Ajit: instead of reinstalling, perhaps try isolating what the problem is? [13:37] quit [13:37] / [13:38] sipior: how can I trace problem [13:38] where does GCC get installed to when installed through package manager? [13:38] /usr/bin [13:39] anyone know how to setup a network between an Ubuntu 8.10 machine and a Windows XP machine from the linux side? [13:39] Akker: which gcc [13:39] I mean, type that command "which gcc" [13:39] Akkernight: that's what I was just going to say: which gcc <-- run that [13:39] GCC 4.3 [13:40] Akkernight: if you run "which gcc" from the command line, it will tell you where it got installed to [13:40] sipior, thank you, it works. :) You got a second to check some screenshot? I got a problem running monodevelop. [13:40] oh thanks! [13:40] Akkernight: you can use "which" with any command, to find out where it is [13:40] archman: i'm afraid i don't, apologies. but i'm sure one of the folks here will be happy to take a look :-) [13:40] which ls, for example [13:40] sipior, ok, tnx ;) [13:41] sipior: Before reinstall do I need to unmount drives (dual boot system) [13:41] ok, where does libstdc++ get installed to? "which" command doesn't work === root is now known as Guest65267 [13:41] Ajit: it would serve you much better to figure out what is slowing your machine down === Guest65267 is now known as MartyMcFly [13:42] Ajit: if you simply reinstall, you run the risk of repeating your problem... and you'll have no idea what's doing it [13:42] Hey, quick question: when sharing something out in Ubuntu versions previous to Intrepid I seem to remember an option to share via SMB or NFS. Now there's no option --does it default to one or the other? If so, is the other an option somewhere? [13:42] Akker : which only works for executable (and executables that are in your path if i remember correctly ) === MartyMcFly is now known as Guest76134 [13:42] SuperLag:but how can I figure out? I am not Linux expert..just trying to migrate on Linux [13:43] The problem is that smart pointers don't work for Code::Blocks/GCC but for Visual Studio, I need it for Ubuntu and I know it has been released, std:: is a namespace in linux, right? [13:43] Ajit: when the system shuts down or reboots, the filesystems are unmounted then [13:43] Guys, I got a problem running monodevelop: http://img22.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotmonodevelop.png any thoughts? [13:44] Akkernight: std:: contains everything and the C++ standard library [13:44] Akkernight: in synaptics you can see all installed files of a package in the properties [13:44] Nobody else having problems after upgrading from Intrepid to Jaunty? [13:44] Ajit: I suggest you do some reading, to expand what you know. [13:44] anybody here know how to fix a headless server installation with grub errors? [13:44] I know, but it just won't find std::tr1 [13:44] Ajit: (and others) http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index2.html [13:44] Akker : you can also check http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [13:44] Ajit: that guide is free for the taking [13:44] anyone? :) [13:45] danlii: jaunty is discusswed in #ubuntu+1 becdouse it has not been yet released === champ` is now known as gastly [13:45] danlii: it is normal to encounter problems in beta software [13:45] Ajit: I would use the "top" command to sort by CPU and memory, to see what processes are taking up resources [13:45] That's just a start. [13:46] erUSUL: I know about it being normal, but thank you for the redirection. [13:46] ne1 here manage to get gedit to display chinese? [13:46] hi, does anybody know which ubuntu mirror is the source for other mirrors? I have a broken jaunty and am waiting for more gnome updates - but my mirror updates only every 2 hours [13:47] Is SMB the preferred method of sharing directories to a LAN in Intrepid? [13:47] phjr: from the main site most likely [13:47] how do you reinstall sound in ubuntu? I seem to have screwed up the sound install [13:47] Akker : Have you installed g++ ? === Guest76134 is now known as Marty === Marty is now known as MartyMcFly [13:48] kitche: which one's that? I'm using us.archive.ubuntu.com but that updates every 2 hrs [13:48] Akker : I can compile an example with std::tr1 with g++-4.2.4 [13:48] phjr: remove the us [13:48] hello all!! Newbie here. How do I see my Trash Can in the desktop? [13:48] kitche: will try [13:48] I just installed a fresh copy of kubuntu 8.04 on a shuttle PC... when I type in username/pass on login screen, the monitor goes black for a second and returns to login screen! === MartyMcFly is now known as Guest65805 [13:48] !trash [13:48] The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash === jester is now known as Jester [13:48] tempa434, yes, now I'm just manually trying to download the libstdc++ through SVN, hope this will work ;) [13:49] romici: depending on your setup, you should see a trash-can on the lower-right of your bottom bar. If you've changed that, you can re-add it by right-clicking on the bar and selecting "Add to Panel". [13:49] ubottu: but how do I place the icon in the Desktop? please setp-by-step instructions, newbie here. [13:49] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:50] is there sound that goes with compiz? [13:50] kitche: well, no new updates for me there, but maybe that's correct [13:50] thank you FoolsRun [13:50] Akker : You don't need to install the SVN version [13:50] Akker : The package version of libstdc++-dev will do nicely [13:51] romici: you can make a shortcut to it on your desktop, but the applet for the panel is more functional [13:51] romici: afaik this is a setting in the gconf-editor [13:51] tempa434, how do I get that? through the package manager? [13:52] romici: apps-nautilus-desktop activate trash_icon_visible === jose_ is now known as Guest82499 [13:52] Akker : Yes or simply "sudo apt-get install libstdc++-dev" [13:53] One more re-phrasing: if I have two Ubuntu machines, what's the preferred method of sharing folders between them? SMB? NFS? FTP? [13:53] my package manager won't find it... [13:53] hey guys... i'm creating some shell script using the `dialog` command... how can i verify the options returned by --checklist? something like if is in the list, execute a command [13:53] FoolsRun: do you need to constantly have access to a folder on Machine2 from Machine1? [13:53] smb [13:53] FoolsRun: or are you just looking for a way to occasionally transfer stuff between them? [13:54] no, not SMB [13:54] SuperLag: machine1 is a "server" (just a stand-alone machine in my house), machine2 is a laptop that will need to access shares from machine1 when it's on-network [13:54] SMB is for Windows sharing [13:54] tempa434, how do I choose a explicit install? [13:54] I dont know, I just guessed...hehehe [13:54] FoolsRun: then I would use NFS [13:55] I use it like that, Iḿ doing a triple boot...I just loo up in Media, en xelect the drive I want, and I trasnfere files just like windows. [13:55] SuperLag: There used to be a gui way to create NFS shares --I don't see it anymore, though. I assume I'll be editing config files to set it up? [13:55] FoolsRun: this is a very short and crude explanation. You define what "shares" (the proper term is 'exports') in /etc/exports on your server. Then you add them to /etc/fstab on your "client" [13:56] FoolsRun: you need NFS stuff installed and enabled on the server, and you need to know how to set up the rules properly [13:56] FoolsRun: make sense? [13:56] FoolsRun, do you not have a shared folders dialog in system or system tools? [13:56] SuperLag: I'm betting I can find a howto on that somewhere. Yes, that makes sense. Is there a reason NFS sharing was removed from the Nautilus gui in Intrepid? (was it? I don't see it anymore) [13:57] FoolsRun, from applications. [13:57] durt: no, I don't see "Shared Folders" in System/Administration [13:57] FoolsRun: as to the poobah's reasons for removing the GUI tool, I'm not sure. [13:57] Akker : What version of ubuntu ?

[14:54] truk77: not quite sure, but I think probably not, also you could upgrade to 8.10 for a later kernel [14:54] truk77: well I assume 8.10 has a later kernel than 8.04 [14:54] oh, after running gnome-sound-recorder, my mic stopped working [14:54] vigo......i can see flashplayer only with Opera browser [14:55] sebsebseb: strangely enough, 8.10 wouldn't even boot on the system they were trying to load it on.

[15:06] Let me rephrase my question... I'm not sure if this is a #ubuntu or #xfce question, but I have XFCE configured the way I want it for another user to have it, how can I copy the settings over, or do I need to redo them? and also, after the settings are in place, how can I lock it so the user can't change it?

Why should I be making Intrepid work if I already have hardy, or put myself through such things if updates are coming in on a LTS just like the other ones ? [15:13] BigMoopies: lol the other ones have some more advanced features. ,but yes 8.10 and 8.04 not that different really, but 9.04 will be quite differnet to 8.04 [15:13] sebsebseb, I mean really I am asking.

[15:17] pvtpete, are you attempting to move a cable, or is this a different disk? Are you booting from the cdrom, or what? [15:17] anyone know why i can resize my ntfs partition ? [15:17] booting from an IDE disk [15:17] with ubuntu [15:17] sounds like the grub on the sata doesn't know which disk is which. [15:17] keepsake, sebsebseb I am guessing ext3 will not convert to ext4 ? like FAT32 converts to NTFS in windows [15:18] and extra storage drives (sata) attached to mainboard and adaptec raid card [15:18] BigMoopies: correct, but there is a way to get some of Ext4's functionality in Ext3 [15:18] perhaps there are ubuntu drivers for it ?

It's like I'm not going to "upgrade" to Vista [15:21] (from XP) [15:21] BigMoopies: yeah Vista is hardly worth the upgrade from XP, just as Windows 7 is hardly worth the upgrade from XP either, but enough fools will upgrade to WIndows 7 from XP [15:21] any fluxbox users here?

XP was ok, but I got a Windows expert sort of guy that uses WIndows Server 2003 as his desktop OS, and that runs everything XP runs [15:24] oCean_, OK for that. But I still don't know if there is a ligit reason to keep the 'powernowd' ? [15:24] dimitree: The release schedule is here in case you need it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule. [15:24] jatt: Installing lm_sensors (your distro should have it) will let you monitor CPU and case temperatures, and a system monitor like GKrellM will display the temperatures on your desktop.

[15:50] sarmisak: There is a dev/sdb1 but I still get the same error [15:51] Hi, i have a game there have tar.gz at the back of its name, am i wrong but aint it "sudo apt-get install "the game name.tar.gz" and then it should install it ? [15:51] Anna_111: 10GB in home, hum the idea was to have most of the Linux space for home [15:51] sipior, since I repartitioned I can't tell where I took it from. Part of it came from / and part of it came from /swap [15:51] tobberoth: hmmms, good luck then. I would recommend writing the minimal install image to a CD. [15:51] not /swap but swap [15:51] Anna_111: but there was nothing in the partition originally, right? did you make sure that a new filesystem was created? === Guest39087 is now known as Yoda [15:52] sipior: as far as I know she got rid of all Linux partitions and started over, keeping the Windows stuff untouched [15:52] Hi, i have a game there have tar.gz at the back of its name, am i wrong but aint it "sudo apt-get install "the game name.tar.gz" and then it should install it ? === Yoda is now known as Guest86868 [15:53] Anna_111: you might want to try a reinstall, verifying that the "format this partition" switch is set for /, /home and swap. [15:53] sipior: so about 30GB to use for Ubuntu's stuff [15:53] yoda: no sudo apt-get install is used to install from repos, a *.tar.gz needs to be 'unzipped' [15:53] sipior, I went through the same motions as I did the first time. I went to manual mode. Created ext3 for / and /home and then linux-swap [15:53] Guest86868: No, you'd only do that with repository files. [15:53] sarmisak: Is it not because there is no /cdrom/ ? [15:54] Guest86868: Check this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=246092 [15:54] keepsake: Okay, but how do install it then, if you know :) [15:54] sebsebseb: right, i'm trying to figure out how the /home partition got filled up immediately after install :-) [15:54] sebsebseb is right, sipior. I have about 30gb available for ubuntu [15:54] sipior, will it matter if the /home us subsumed by the / ? [15:55] Anna_111: no, but i generally prefer a separate /home partition, to minimise the pain of upgrades... [15:55] Guest86868: In other words, you do different things depending on what you find in the .tar.gz. [15:55] sipior: yep I told her to do a seperate home :) [15:55] sipior: and to do 1GB for swap instead of 10GB, but she did like 2GB for swap [15:55] hey all [15:56] ubuntu doesn't use utp by default does it? [15:56] sipior.. ok so pleas suggest what the /, /home , swap sizes should be. I have 30gb available and 1.5gb RAM [15:56] Anna_111: could i get you to pastebin your partition map? you can access it via "sudo sfdisk -l /dev/sda", changing the disk device as needed. [15:56] keepsake: ohh okay i see . [15:56] keepsake: But its just a little game (3mb) [15:56] does anyone use convertx in wine? [15:57] Anna_111: generally i would go with around 10gb for root, 2gb for swap and the balance under /home. that's not fixed in stone, of course [15:57] blip: what's that? [15:57] keepsake: you know how i maybe install that ? [15:57] tobberoth: might be, but usually debian installs that way [15:57] I seem to be having the metacity "missing window decorations" problem on my jaunty install. Do I need to do anything to report a bug, and is there any way I can fix it? [15:57] Guest86868: When you do the "tar xvf ", you get a folder. [15:57] Or something of the kind [15:57] keepsake: yes i have extracted it :) [15:57] sipior: yeah I guess, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and whatever other apps, will all fit in a 10GB / with a seperate home [15:57] Guest86868: What's in the folder? [15:57] FiveAcres: Join ubuntu+1 [15:58] is it posible to dual boot of a usb flash disk ?

But will it work if I paste the screenshoot from Gparted after I login with live CD? [15:59] Guest86868: Oh, are you trying to play a windows game? (n I presume?) [15:59] Anna_111: no, try that sfdisk command i mentioned earlier [15:59] Anna_111: pastebin is just text, he only needs text [16:00] ok [16:00] is it possible to install iTunes on Ubuntu 8.10 ? i need for to sync the iPhone [16:00] Anna_111: he just wants the output of the command [16:00] eL-GeWzZz: no, but there's a good iTunes alternative out there [16:00] keepsake: yes exaxtly, but i went on a website and downloaded the version for linux === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix_da_catz [16:00] eL-GeWzZz: I don't think you can run iTunes in Wine either, but you can in a Windows virtual machine that is inside Ubuntu [16:00] Guest86868, which game? [16:01] sarmisak: I was able to mount the USB at /cdrom now... but there's no change in the installer :( still trying to retrieve tasksel-data indefinitely [16:01] the makesr of this third part app suggested i switch to utp instead of localtime, but i cant find any docs as to that [16:01] Paddy_EIRE: N game.

[16:02] sarmisak: Is there anyway to restart the installer without rebooting? [16:02] sarmisak: oh right, that's what i meant [16:02] sipior: This looks like a partition rather than the entire disk. Using fdisk on it is probably meaningless. use the force option if you want it.. this is what I got [16:02] tobberoth: I don't think so, sorry. [16:02] Guest86868: Try downloading the Windows version and run it with Wine. [16:02] keepsake: okay i try that :) [16:03] FuriousGeorge: Right click the clock, and adjust it GUI style or go command line. It might interfere with updates and stuff, so re-set as needed. [16:03] anybody know where i can find a blowfish 512 bit text encryptor? [16:03] Anna_111: could you type the precise command line you used? just specify the device name ("/dev/sda"), not /dev/sda2 or anything like that...

[16:22] yes [16:22] ok lol [16:22] Anna_111: it is customary for filesystems to reserve a certain percentage for admin use, in the event that the disk should fill up, ensuring that root, at least, can always log on and fix the problem.

[16:29] L3dPlatedLinux: so you used dkpg -i to install it, right [16:29] is there an (easy) way to install w32codecs (and mplayer32) on ubuntu 8.10/amd64? (i need a codec that's missing in w64codecs!) [16:29] I am trying to do it under add/remove but it can;t find it [16:29] sigh [16:29] perscitus: however in Hardy you get a crappy version of Banshee, unless you get the ppa for it so you get Ibex version [16:29] sebsebseb-> well duh. i want to take it off. [16:29] saisai, saying you installed it using the terminal does not narrow down _How_ you installed it [16:29] sound help in vlc/jaunty [16:29] saisai: sudo apt-get remove netbeans [16:29] khakane: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion. [16:29] sebsebseb-> ibex is broken and buggy.

[16:32] !itunes | cathy [16:32] cathy: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [16:32] sipior: heh it wants me to sudo [16:32] !efsck [16:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about efsck [16:32] !fsck [16:32] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [16:32] danes_: yes, but you have to actually mount it. the link i gave you should have instructions for that. anyway short version, "sudo mount //servername/sharename /mnt/whatever -o username=blah" [16:32] sipior: I am in /home now and I am seeing only two dirs. both are colored in blue and there is nothing in them [16:33] so can i use a program on add or remove? [16:33] Anna_111: actually, could you try without the -s? just pastebin "sudo du /home"? [16:33] LjL. thanks [16:33] cathy: what do you want to install? [16:33] !askthebot | wanna_learn_more [16:33] wanna_learn_more: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [16:33] cathy: you want to know how to instlal and remove programs in Ubuntu? [16:33] wanna_learn_more: apt-get needs arguments. like install or update. But then you have to use "sudo" -like "sudo apt-get install name_of_package" [16:33] itunes like program for my ipod [16:33] cathy: oh right [16:34] cathy: itunes itself you can't do in Ubuntu, but there is an alternative [16:34] cathy: well you can do itunes if you run WIndows inside Ubuntu in a virtual machine [16:34] my ubuntu install doesn't have an admin group... How do I add that? [16:34] how do I get programs to display on menu bar? When I installed netbeans it created a desktop icon but I want it to be added on my menu bar? === andyh2|away is now known as andyh2 [16:34] saisai: ... it created a desktop icon? [16:35] cathy: http://www.osalt.com mentions an Itunes alternative, also this is a useful similar kind of site http://www.linuxeq.com [16:35] yes [16:35] saisai: just how did you install it? [16:35] does only itunes work with ipods? [16:35] saisai: Right-click on the menu and choose "Edit Menus", then add a shortcut. [16:35] ty [16:35] cathy: no Banshee can sync an ipod [16:35] exit [16:35] can i install any kernel-devel for intrepid? [16:35] sipior: I think I know what happened. These are mostly my mp3 files from the C drive of win XP looks like Ubuntu install imported them instead of pointing to them. Else I have no other explanation === lasivian_ is now known as Lasivian [16:35] !elaborate | wanna_learn_more [16:35] wanna_learn_more: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [16:35] cathy: by the way you get most software from Ubuntu's servers :) ,but then for stuff you want that isn't in there, you get from a trusted source [16:36] saisai: did u use wine to install [16:36] cathy: Ubuntu is not like WIndows where you got to go on websites to get programs, or put in a CD or what have you [16:36] no not wine [16:36] saisai: Do the Edit Menus thing. [16:36] I downloaded the binary files [16:36] Anna_111: yeah, could be. the installer being "annoyingly helpful", i'm afraid :-) [16:36] yep [16:36] and used the ./ command [16:36] saisai: terrible idea. netbeans is in the repositories, so why did you do that? [16:36] I have a problem with a bluetooth dongle not showing up, dmesg and lsusb here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/132566/ thanks [16:36] i didnt know... [16:36] !packages | saisai [16:36] saisai: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [16:37] but the repository didnt have the latest netbeans === Mud|bnc is now known as Mud|lunch [16:37] !latest | saisai [16:37] saisai: 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. [16:37] !ipod | cathy [16:37] cathy: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [16:37] is installing from source an awkward way? *G* [16:37] beli: yes [16:37] saisai: Installing from source is absolutely fine. [16:37] !RockBox [16:37] rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! [16:37] ty =) [16:37] ./ isn't a command it's a location ("." means the current directory) [16:37] keepsake: not if the package is in the repositories, no [16:37] sipior, I guess that's what happened. Now, if I delete these will they be deleted from my C disk because I can see the C drive files in Ubuntu? [16:37] LjL: hmm, and what to do if you need special compile time options? [16:37] LjL: Installing from source is perfectly normal, and is used when you need a newer version or a custom build. [16:38] beli: if you *really* need such things, then you probably know what you're doing, in which case you'll use your best judgment [16:38] cathy: I would recommend Banshee as your music player in Ubuntu. [16:38] cathy: it can also do video and theres VLC as well for that [16:38] cathy: your on 8.10? [16:38] Hi all is there any way in linux to find out what my motherboard and sata is? I want to install my windowsXP disc on dual boot but I keep getting errors as I don't have chipset and sata drivers so I need to be able to integrate some....any ideas where to look? [16:38] keepsake: then if the stuff you installed is actually a dependency of something else, at best you may have version conflicts, and at worst (i.e. if you were silly enough to install in /usr) you'll have APT stop working. [16:38] sebsebseb: Ideally though, mplayer or a GUI version of it. [16:39] keepsake: why? [16:39] LjL: cant be for real....ubuntu is linux and you should be able to compile userspace programs NOT in the repository without beeing called "doing awkward things" ;) [16:39] sebsebseb: More compatibility all-around. [16:39] Anyways I tried the "right click " edit menus but I dont know how to find the netbeans program. I want to add it to my menu bar. [16:39] sipior: what's the ls command that spans all file systems and dirs to look for metacharacters like *.mp3 [16:39] Anna_111: as long as you're sure that you're deleting from the correct partition, you should be fine. might be worth making sure you have a backup if it's a big issue [16:39] keepsake: yeah maybe, but Banshee is still :) [16:39] saisai: Right-click the icon on your desktop [16:39] saisai: Find properties, then look at the COMMAND [16:39] beli: if it's not in the repositories, then i find compiling it quite acceptable [16:39] Hi all is there any way in linux to find out what my motherboard and sata is? I want to install my windowsXP disc on dual boot but I keep getting errors as I don't have chipset and sata drivers so I need to be able to integrate some....any ideas where to look?

[16:40] Anna_111: "find . -name *.mp3 -print" [16:40] ubottu: i am thinking of getting the new ipod shuffle will this work with it? "Ubuntu works very well with iPods, except the iPod Touch, iPhone, and any other future generation" =) [16:40] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:40] LjL: thanks :) and building a package for it....better than doing make install ;) [16:40] ok makes sense now :) [16:40] cool thanks guys [16:40] beli: that is definitely the best thing to do. [16:40] saisai, joy? [16:40] Anna_111: or "find / -name *.mp3 -print", but that will likely take a while [16:41] lol i was trying to takl to a bot [16:41] LjL whatever happened to the "how to install anything in ubuntu" factoid? [16:41] !software > Paddy_EIRE (Paddy_EIRE, see the private message from ubottu) this one...? [16:41] cathy: Windows virtual machine can probably work nicely with your ipod as well [16:41] :) [16:42] LjL cheers mate [16:42] cathy: ,but that should be a last resort, [16:42] cathy: before using a psyical Windows install [16:42] cathy: yes you can have WIndows inside Ubuntu [16:42] cathy: probably depends what generation it is [16:43] how to configure my kernel?i must install kernels-headers first?

It autoconfigured pretty good except that only a part of the window is viewed. How can I make the whole thing visible? [16:47] wanna_learn_more: you don't need to recompile I kernel for that [16:47] Paddy_EIRE i don't have one now but thinking off getting one but i wana no if it works with unbuntu [16:47] beli: yes, but it should have been two different messages - the second one being about a much more quick-and-dirty method to make packages [16:47] LjL: ah, i use checkinstall on slackware...

I use the previous nano to the new one [16:48] wanna_learn_more: ok - so it's just a kernel module isn't it ?

[16:50] stabbyjoe12: that's one of the worst programs ever :) ,but it really does help to lock stupid people into Windows. Linux has some good alternatives though [16:50] stabbyjoe12: try 'emesene' [16:50] paddy_EIRE_ not somple as that [16:50] LjL: i just forgot that checkinstall could be configured to pack .deb files [16:50] !messenger | stabbyjoe12 [16:50] !msn [16:50] stabbyjoe12: The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others.

[16:54] sebsebseb i no and the itunes alternatives are fine [16:54] stabbyjoe12: if you want certain Windows shit such as WIndows Live Messenger and Itunes, your going to need to run them in Windows. or if it's an Itunes you could run it on a Mac of course [16:54] sipior: yes :) [16:54] sebsebseb: please control your language [16:54] sky_: so you mounted it for wrong uid/gid [16:54] ikonia:just at pm [16:54] wanna_learn_more: ok [16:54] ikonia: uh yeah [16:54] ikonia:or give me links to the forum pliz ^^ [16:54] sky_: check man mount and section ext3 [16:54] sebsebseb: please.

Use amsn, an alternative, or run a VM to get WLM. [16:56] HD's partially solved now. I can't seem to see the ubuntu machine from my mac now [16:56] there anyway to rename my paritions ? i have /dev/sda1 as ext3 /dev/dsa4 as extended / dev/sda5 as swap .. can i make /dev/sda1 as ext3 /dev/sda2 as extended and /dev/sda3 as linux-swap ? currently im in gparted looking at my paritiion [16:56] keepsake: yeah I basically already told him that :) [16:56] beli: mount man ? [16:56] sky_: open a terminal window and enter: man mount [16:56] sky_: and search for the ext3 section [16:57] wlm is awful anyway.. just a big kiddy looking app with ads on it [16:57] stabbyjoe12: it's amazing the amount of ignorant computer users, that rely so much on Windows Live Messenger, even though the alternatives are pretty good as well [16:57] Paddy_EIRE: For WLM, there was a-patch that removed ads. [16:57] <{g}> Hey People! How do I check which version of Ubuntu im using? [16:57] Sorry for offtopic. Someone knows if there is a truecrypt channel out there? [16:57] keepsake, yeah it breaks on update [16:57] hi have idea why some dvd i have can be mount and some can't and follow by a message? [16:57] macman: if you've just the two, you don't need an extended partition. [16:57] keepsake, need to reapply each time [16:57] Paddy_EIRE: a-patch is updated pretty frequently though. [16:57] beli: how search ? some hotkeys for searching ? :X [16:57] why do people use windows?

[16:58] keepsake, I would rather keep away from it.. it looks very child like in its appearance [16:58] {g}: or uname -a for more info [16:58] macman: although please consider a separate partition for /home. it can be quite handy to have your personal data on a separate partition from the system proper. [16:58] sky_: depends...try / [16:58] like toys r us or somthing [16:58] I have some boot problems and can't find the answer on the forums. [16:58] cathy: computer ignorance that's why, plus most of them have been using it since hte 90's and as someone said in IRC the other day (or something like it): using Windows after 10 years really does cripple certain people [16:58] ikonia, well I would ask in truecrpt channel if I would find one :P+ [16:58] <{g}> keepsake: 2.6.20-16-generic [16:58] <{g}> whats that?

My server keeps dropping and I"m not sure why. Running Ubuntu Desktop 8.10. Unable to connect by telnet, ssh, ftp, http when this happens. X is running, I can move the mouse, but the image on the screen itself is frozen and I can't type.

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). [17:43] In regards to my server dropping, I think this MIGHT be related, but I'm not sure... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/132598/ [17:43] is there a way to repair my partition table? [17:43] beli: have you heard of Canonical making TWO faulty discs in the same line? [17:43] zipper: google avg site: ubuntuforums.org [17:43] baber: you can use netstat to see whats going on...or nmap as a port scanner....and to close these ports the best way is to stop the service behind....then or additionally use a firewall solution... [17:43] Huufarted: have you configured your firewall any? [17:43] quibbler: ok yhanks [17:43] ChrizC: UDMA cable... [17:43] ActionParsnip, basic IPTables are set up, but they're set to allow all from any to any [17:43] zipper: you are welcome [17:43] beli: what is that? [17:44] ChrizC: guess A...... [17:44] beli: the ribbon cable for PATA drives [17:44] ActionParsnip: The firewall in use is a generic Linksys at the moment. [17:44] I am having trouble with cups...what does it mean if there is a foomatic driver vs a simplified vs a notsimplified driver? [17:44] Does anyone know how to password protect the access to my usb stick? [17:44] beli: I've just come from school, I'm not very alert for guessing games now. [17:44] baber: to see the packets flowing use a packet sniffer.....but i think you better start reading more [17:44] Huufarted: thats a router, the firewall is on the WAN side so wont affect internal communication [17:45] beli: is your means that first with netstat check ports and with iptables close them? [17:45] ChrizC: you named it guess A and B before.... [17:45] ChrizC: i am not playing [17:45] Huufarted: can you connect via ip? [17:45] is foomatic better than Gutenprint drivers? [17:45] ActionParsnip: I know. As far as the Ubuntu machine is concerned, I did have firestarter installed at one point, but when I realized I NEEDED a gui to run it, I removed it. [17:45] baber: yes...at first you need to understand whats going on...then you can react...isnt it that way? [17:45] ActionParsnip: when the server drops, I cannot. I can connect to it right now, however. [17:46] beli: the powers of Wikipedia say "Ultra Direct Memory Access?" [17:46] Huufarted: well iptables is still there, just not configured [17:46] ChrizC: your harddrive is blank? no needed data on it? [17:46] ActionParsnip: would that cause the issues with X I was seeing as well? [17:46] beli: correct [17:46] ChrizC: so do a stress test for i/o not using your cdrom drive....you can use dd for that [17:47] Huufarted: not sure, have you tried stopping the listening apps and only running one of them, like ssh [17:47] sorry beli, I'm a linux newbie so you'll have to explain how to do that, sorry :P [17:47] slipstenen: That's amazing! windows fixmbr actually fixed grub O.o [17:47] really? [17:47] Huufarted: kil the other listening apps and build up slowly [17:47] i wonder if it could help me [17:48] my partition table is jacked up somehow [17:48] i installed windows and messed up the mbr and all [17:48] hello, I am having an issue with playing games. When I go in games they say my IP is 127.12.34.56 and when I go into the terminal I can ping 127.12.34.56 and ssh to it and it shows up as the computer I am using, however my IP is 192.168.2.3. What is going on? How can I make it resolve to the correct ip? [17:48] !grub | aclonedsheep [17:48] aclonedsheep: 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 [17:48] ActionParsnip: that's the problem. When it locks up, it could be in an hour, it could be in 4 hours, it could be 24 hours. There's no pattern. I also can't find anything hardware related in the logs. [17:48] ActionParsnip thanks, i've been following those directions [17:48] ActionParsnip: the odd thing is, stuff still gets LOGGED to those logs while it looks like it's locked up. [17:48] Huufarted: check dmesg | tail when it hangs and recovers [17:49] ChrizC: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/your_hardrive_you_want_to_install_ubuntu_to bs=1024 for example [17:49] akazawa: I have a feeling the 127 one is your INTERNAL ip address, whereas 192 is your IP address for everyone else, either that or vice-versa [17:49] ActionParsnip: the only recover I can do is when I do a hard shutdown and dmesg is reset on boot up [17:49] ChrizC: and see if there are i/o errors again [17:49] beli: and I'd do that in terminal, yes? [17:49] How do I move a file from one file browser to another. It says "permission denied"? [17:49] ActionParsnip: The problem is when I fdisk -l I only see my NTFS partition...no linux partition [17:49] akazawa: but does it work using your 192 ip? [17:49] ChrizC: yes, but again: the whole drive will be overwritten with zeros [17:49] akazawa: 127.x.y.z is a loopback device [17:49] ChrizC: No it's not a real IP address [17:49] How do I move a file from one file browser to another file browser. It says "permission denied"? [17:50] ActionParsnip: I have an idea. I can set up something like this on the main console: tail -f /var/log/dmesg > ~/dmesg.log [17:50] ActionParsnip: I never set one up, how come its showing up now [17:50] ActionParsnip: You're a helluva guy no matter what everybody else says.

IF not i'm sorry to bug you [17:51] ChrizC: depends on your hardware...

[17:53] akazawa: maybe its created when the game is ran [17:53] beli: yes. Both are nuked. [17:53] ok [17:53] I just want to move a file from one directory to another [17:53] but its saying permission denied [17:53] ChrizC: so i guess you have one harddrive connected as primary master.... [17:53] ActionParsnip: the game is run under wine [17:54] saisai: what folders to + from? [17:54] beli: correct. [17:54] ChrizC: since you are using old hardware....it should be /dev/sda [17:54] akazawa: id heck the game's settings. see if theres anything weird with respect to loopback devices [17:54] syockit: yeah, I was thinking something like that [17:54] I want to use my newer, bigger drive? [17:54] ChrizC: or /dev/hda [17:54] ChrizC: give it a try [17:54] If I have a brightness function key, and it isn't registering in acpi_listen. Is there any hope of me being able to use it?

[17:55] saisai: you need to be root in a terminal type: gksudo nautilus this will open a file browser as root [17:55] akazawa: maybe its a weid quirk in wine [17:55] should I just buy a linux book and read? [17:55] Hi [17:55] ActionParsnip: it's not wine [17:55] ChrizC: right...but i recommend to install the base to the primary master....for no reason :) [17:55] I feel like a retard asking these Qs [17:55] akazawa: but to connect to yourself use localhost as the host name, other systems will use your class c ip as you'd expect [17:55] a windows retard [17:56] ok good command thanks [17:56] beli: "dd: opening `/dev/hda': Permission denied" [17:56] ChrizC: you need to be superuser [17:56] I got problems using SSH, I can connect my server, but as soon as I type "cat " or "top" or any command with few return lines expected, then the ssh client freeze..

[18:00] ChrizC: with no i/o error? [18:00] Akkernight, if that were true then the dozens and dozens of free .fla editors out there would not exist, would they? [18:00] none that I can see, beli.

[18:18] A-KO: pity, even Jaunty only has 1.3.1. well, "apt-get source proftpd" will download the source code to the current directory, then you can check the compile options there. you could probably even substitute that tree with the 1.3.2 source and manage to create a working .deb from that [18:18] alright, I kind of figured that's what I'll have to do. Thanks.. [18:18] !kick lupin [18:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about kick lupin [18:19] will apt-get source proftpd download to the current directory?

[18:23] stoic_: ah 1.x ic [18:23] beli: yea :( [18:23] stoic_: so you need to prepare your own kernel module or build your own kernel [18:23] does anyone know how I can setup postfix or any other smtp server to just make it simple to just send e-mail to my gmail account? [18:23] stoic_: or boot an old live distro with 1.x support and convert it [18:24] genii: azureus doesnt seem to trigger the console [18:24] beli: preparing my own kernel is a bit over my head, any good rescources you could point me to ? [18:24] i am currently installing xubuntu 7.10 onto a small workstation computer, and i could install ubuntu 7.10, or any other version if needed. I wanted to put snes9x (or zsnes, really), and have it boot DIRECTLY into that emulator, i have searched around all over, tried editing all of the bashrc and bashprofile files, changing init.d, etc, and havent gotten anything to work [18:24] i really need someone to help me because i am totally lost now [18:25] Is there any easy way to manage my network connection from the command line?

I'm reading a bunch of files in the /debian subdir of the source package, which appears to include all the options for placing files. I don't necessarily want to dump the 1.3.2 sources into the 1.3.1 tree and install that because the 1.3.1 source seems to include a bunch of patches, which I assume may not be compatible or might overwrite some things in 1.3.2.

[18:26] mike998: you might have to type dhclient (device) to make it work, after you type the iwconfig command [18:26] beli: yes [18:26] nigtv, why is your wireliess eth1? [18:26] stoic_: checkout the unsquashfs tool....it can do 1.x [18:27] blip: not really sure, it was built into this lappy, so i think that might be it [18:27] well LjL, I would go with that but I'm not sure where to look for the various configure options so things get installed....I guess it doesn't matter though much if checkinstall keeps track of things? Because if it makes a .deb I'll be able to uninstall it later no matter where it is, correct? [18:27] on all of my other comps its been wlan0, always, however === kb is now known as Guest1734 [18:27] nigtv, thats usually a slackware wifi interface [18:27] strange.. [18:27] yea [18:27] stoic_: check out the squashfs howto on tldp [18:27] beli: ok so unsquash can do 1.x, will I be able to squash back to 1.x , im not sure if 2.x will work [18:27] FuriousGeorge: Probably the app needs something like user.timezone=DST or so to know the offset [18:27] stoic_: hold a copy? ;) [18:27] mike998, if you want to make ur wifi easy....d/l wicd [18:28] you have any idea on my question? im trying to get a comp to boot DIRECTLY INTO an snes emulator, and ive tried alot of things and none work [18:28] ive tried editing a ton of files, and none do anything [18:28] nigtv, ur in ubuntu? [18:28] nigtv: does the emulator require X? [18:28] * beli is off...cu folks [18:28] well, i can use anything really blip [18:28] i have xubuntu 7.10 on there now [18:28] because its a small workstation comp [18:28] nigtv, in ubuntu all u have to do is add a session [18:29] LjL: i would assume so, its either snes9x or zsnes [18:29] blip: i tried that, i close it, reboot, and nothing happens, i go back into the menu and what i added is gone [18:29] ?? [18:29] okay [18:29] A-KO: yes, you should be able to safely uninstall stuff made by checkinstall - if it gets installed properly in the first place (which it generally does). the configure options are in debian/rules, look for CONF_ARGS [18:30] i would assume the process would be about the same with ubuntu or xubuntu, i have xu because its a small comp, but i can use ANYTHING really, if it makes it easier [18:31] i tried editing the bashrc files [18:31] sweet LjL thanks for that [18:31] and adding the init.d rc local [18:31] how do i turn off those annyoing popups kopete makes everytime somebody writes me an answer? -.- [18:31] nigtv: rc.local or bashrc won't work, because they have to do with command-line programs, not really X [18:32] what i really need is like, well i can set it up to be autologin, then have, after that, it execute the command snes9x, or zsnes, and then go fullscreen === Knives is now known as Guest30820 [18:32] i believe both of those emulators have commands to make them start fullscreen as well [18:33] my comp is saying i have missing packages to run firefox [18:33] so if i can have it, after login, execute a terminal command and go directly into that as fullscreen, id be set [18:33] nigtv, u there [18:33] yes [18:33] nigtv: ~/.config/autostart [18:33] remove that [18:34] nigtv: tried adding it to your user's ~/.xsession? [18:34] blip: well im reinstalling xubuntu right now [18:34] okay [18:34] i can write these down though [18:34] when trying to extract a squashfs image I get sqlzma_un: ZLIB data error, does this mean I need to enable lzma support ? [18:34] nigtv, if it happens again, remove that file and then add it through sessions again [18:34] how do i shutdown an ubuntu system from userland? I need to do it from my own script. How does gnome do it? === bedmunds_ is now known as brandonban6 === Mud|lunch is now known as Mud|shower [18:34] LjL: well i went into sessions, and then added the program from /usr/lib [18:34] deos anyone know packages needed? [18:34] usr/lib?? [18:35] nigtv, usr/bin [18:35] blip: can you pm that to me so it doesnt scroll into oblivion [18:35] lol [18:36] nigtv: that's not the same thing, although sessions should work [18:36] whats not the same [18:37] jlmones: well if you are okay with using the version in the repositories, you could just 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get check', and if that shows no broken dependencies, i would just 'sudo apt-get install firefox' [18:38] nigtv: adding stuff to your ~/.xsession is not the same as adding it to sessions. [18:38] just sudo apt-get firefox SHOULD check for dependencies, but you might have to update the list first, do you know how/where to enter those commands? [18:38] LjL: well would adding something there cause it do what i want it to do [18:38] problem i installed kubuntu 7.10 on my laptop cause i dont like the 8.10 the kde4 i dont like kde 3 is fine with me but my login screen I use is with login manager where i can choose my background well i have tried and tried yet the back ground wont show up just the color i choose what can i do to fix this [18:38] nigtv: i suspect so [18:39] nigtv: although XFCE will not start at all, if i'm not mistaken. only the emulator should start. [18:39] so what just nano that or... [18:39] yeah [18:39] hmm [18:39] so if it requires X, that wouldnt work? [18:39] just says E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [18:39] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [18:39] the emulator requires an x server [18:39] nigtv: i said that XFCE won't start, not that X won't start [18:39] (otherwise why would the file be called .xsession?) [18:40] Has anyone here been hearing about memory-leak problems in 8.10 amd64? [18:40] jlmones: is another process using it? [18:40] i just cannot fix this damn swapfile problem. [18:40] damnit [18:40] amigamia, ? [18:40] i suppose i will have to format the whole drive [18:40] okay cool, well im still very new to ubuntu, and linux in general, i just like diving head first into things to figure them out [18:40] it hangs on swapfile during init [18:40] so i dont know a whole lot in case you didnt notice ;) [18:41] i alt-ctrl-del and kill it on startup [18:41] i used gparted to delete the swap i rebuilt it etc..

[18:54] aijnknknj: yes you can [18:54] aijnknknj: i use mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hd1 /media/mount1 -o force, and it works fine [18:54] .. when i boot into linux normally and i start gparted it says swap i off .. how do i make it so it is on all the time or do i need it on all the time ? [18:54] nigtv all I see in computer - file browser is "/boot" "cdrom" "filesystem" and my usbflash key [18:55] did you boot into the whole window system?

[19:35] jeroentb, I'm much more comfortable with lilo, but have never used it with ubuntu [19:35] yes bios does forward [19:35] also grub docs say it does support it [19:35] allot to read (vnc)....thx guys [19:35] JeroenTB: me too only my work lappy is xp based but im over it [19:36] mkrueger1: grub is just a bootloader, just make sure when switching to lilo you set the parms right [19:36] I'm in need of a media player that doesn't obey the UNIX philosophy of KISS, but rather has the media player, a good library thing, and a CD-BURNING app built in. users that will be using this are too stupid to figure out they need to open brasero, even after I tell them and show them how..part of the reason I'm not giving them windows, I figure they'll have a harder time killing a linux machine. Closer to windows media player [19:36] ActionParsnip: i was fed up with windoze's useless waitstates ;) So one day i decided why cope with that [19:37] won't switching to grub break system updates with aptitude, apt-get, etc. [19:37] somone mind helping me with my swap issue ? [19:37] ? [19:37] nickserv says: saaber1 is not a registered nickname. [19:37] Hi, I rebooted my ubuntu 8.10 system and now all of a sudden I get an error on login that says .dmrc is being ignored and my user is no longer able to use sudo. I have to emphasize that I have made NO CHANGES to this system, and all I did was reboot it [19:37] er, to lilo that is [19:37] mkrueger1: not if you remove the grub-package [19:37] JeroenTB: its extremely custom software that i test in ncitrix [19:37] oic- i'll try that - thanx [19:37] also, this is in my sudoers file: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL [19:37] mkrueger1: you can remove grub and install lilo using the package manager [19:37] ActionParsnip: yo [19:38] JeroenTB: so i need windows, plus after work i shutdown and jump on my own systems [19:38] thiebaude: yo yo yo [19:38] dan-ubuntu, will u help me??? [19:39] ActionParsnip: i guess there's no citrix client software availlable for linux than ? That sucks ! It's just X for windoze based programs ;) [19:39] Is there any reason why sudoers would all of a sudden break in 8.10? [19:39] this is bad, even for free software [19:39] have somebody had a deal with counter strike dedicated server on ubuntu? [19:39] well gotta go get some sleep, have to get out on 4:45 AM :( [19:39] JeroenTB: i think their is but what i have works so im not gonna fix it, ive got too many servers to firefight [19:39] Hello. I have installed ubuntu some time ago, i tried installing a window manager(Stumpmw) but without any success, after this I have no sound... What can i do? [19:40] =D [19:40] cezar2: did you restore a tar-based backup ? that broke the sudoers file at my system, in the ubuntu forums i found a copy of a sudoers file you can install to fix things, just remember to put your account in the admin group ! [19:40] monra: run lspci [19:41] monra: one line will identify the sound device [19:41] JeroenTB: he left... w/ a friendly message [19:41] ActionParsnip: i know what you mean, but you could run windows in a virtual machine 4 that... [19:41] monra: use that to websearch on how to set it up. also make sure you are fully updated [19:41] ladnie [19:41] JeroenTB: whats the point, thats more bloat in ram running 2 OSes [19:41] i`m starting css:dm server using script; it runs, but shows no console [19:41] ActionParsnip: i see, what a jackass isn't he ? Patience... [19:42] so i can not control it [19:42] RAM is cheap ;) [19:42] ActionParsnip: YEs ... ok ... the problem is I had it i had sound, why don't I have anymore? [19:42] no all in one media players like OpenOffice is an all in one office program? [19:42] hello [19:42] monra: run through dmesg | less [19:42] if windows lets you wait for something useless you can still do something usefull in your linux host ;) [19:42] Soviet_Bob: amarok or banshee [19:43] Anyway, gotta go, tc [19:43] How are you??? [19:43] JeroenTB: i have no problem with windows for my work pc [19:43] is it possible to make my own keyboard shortcut in GNOME? [19:43] hallo könnt ihr deutsch/hello can you gerrman?? [19:43] do anyone user weechat? how can i switch off the connect and disconnect msg from the users? [19:43] !de [19:43] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [19:43] curtmack, you familiar with gnome-do ? [19:43] curtmack: yes [19:43] ja [19:44] curtmack: Yes it is [19:44] ActionParsnip: well me neither, but network timeouts when poping up explorer and stuff like that wore me down [19:44] I don't care if it is fast. I don't care if it hogs resources, I don't care if it does any individual task worse than other programs... I just want something that doesn't require opening a second program to play, sort, and burn music. [19:44] ihr seid behindert idis [19:44] can some one help copy cds stop at end of operation === Guest49857 is now known as Z [19:44] Audifan: nein [19:44] I'm trying to put some sites on a Ubuntu server, and have a few questions. 1 is php automatically installed on ubuntu? If so, where could i locate it on the server? 2 (im totally new to linux) if i need to install php, where would be the ideal path for it? [19:44] Amarok doesn't have burning everytime I look. [19:44] I can access my external disk in linux, but fails in windows. What can solve the problem? [19:44] well, I've tried Keyboard Shortcuts, but that only lets me redefine existing commands [19:44] JeroenTB: never had a network timeout... === carlos is now known as Guest37677 === Z is now known as Guest33653 [19:44] blazalt, php is not automatically bundled in the initial ubuntu installer [19:45] I want to bind the command "xvattr -a XV_HUE -v 0" to a keyboard shortcut === Guest33653 is now known as [c]mon [19:45] thanks Ax3 [19:45] ActionParsnip: Sure ;) Tc and goodnite, i really gotta go now [19:45] If memory serves, banshee didn't have burning either. [19:45] if I want to run a cron command every day at 11:50, the command would be: "47 11 * * * root blargh" right? [19:45] blazalt, you'll want to: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 [19:45] my ubuntu install keeps failing between 40 and 70%, with an i/o error, I've dd'ed my drive, and my cdrom, but didn't get errors with them, how can I get it to work? [19:46] ChrizC done a mem test? [19:46] Is getting dual monitors to work as tricky as the forums make it sound? [19:46] x_or: Depends on your video card [19:46] glisignoli: memory's fine. [19:46] presumably [19:47] x_or, i've had good success using nvidia cards [19:47] copy cds fail even with brasero [19:47] ChrizC: did you md5 check yur iso as well as verify your cd once burned [19:47] x_o: HOw hard does the forums make it sound? lol... w/ nvidia it wasn't too bad [19:47] x_or, using TwinView [19:47] ActionParsnip: I got my CD from Canonical. [19:47] curtmack: OK. Another question, is it possible to switch from using one video card to another using software? For example, if I wanted to use one card, and then remotely configure and disable that card so that another would work. [19:47] blazalt, how's that coming along? [19:47] curtmack: in a terminal gconf-editor then go to /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_1 [19:47] ChrizC: ok then run the verify cd to make sure its ok [19:48] x_or, you can have presumably, two xorg.conf files [19:48] ActionParsnip: have you heard of Canonical shipping a borked CD? [19:48] ChrizC: also check your ram, and fsck your drive for health [19:48] oh tnanks, just read you above comment [19:48] hi [19:48] ActionParsnip: linux newbie, fsck? [19:48] Back when Canonical would ship 3 CD's to ya, I got 3 of them... 1 was bad, other 2 were fine, though [19:48] !fsck | ChrizC [19:48] ChrizC: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [19:48] okay, thanks [19:48] hi [19:48] Ax3: But, upon boot I notice that my Shuttle D10 seems to use the secondary video card I added, so perhaps this happens before Linux is even loaded, need to configure in the BIOS, ro something? [19:48] anybody can helpme using hebrew in oppenoffice [19:49] how can i fix this problem? http://nopaste.org/p/a3Hb8pJLpb [19:49] sometimes im connected on wireless, and i cant browse internet.. so i wait for a while and try again and it works... perfectly... without disconnection [19:49] ActionParsnip: how can I do that with a live CD? [19:49] curtmack: define it here: /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_1 [19:49] dan-ubuntu, i can connect on ethernet... and can connect on wireless... but on wireless.. even connected i cant browse anything most of the time...and sometimes it just works fine...and none of my connections can resolve dhcp.. i need to point everything === Guest44734 is now known as meff [19:49] ChrizC: boot to the desktop then read: man fsck [19:49] ActionParsnip: "boot to the desktop?" [19:49] i can connect on ethernet... and can connect on wireless... but on wireless.. even connected i cant browse anything most of the time...and sometimes it just works fine...and none of my connections can resolve dhcp.. i need to point everything!! can anybody help me plz??? [19:50] If I am using two different video cards is that a recipe for disaster when trying to get dual monitor support? Or, is it better to use two different cards? [19:51] x_or: Why do you need 2 video cards? [19:51] keepsake: I need to output to s-video, and the onboard card does not do that. [19:51] ChrizC: the LiveCD includes a boot option to "Check CD for defects" [19:51] hi all [19:51] ChrizC: the livecd desktop [19:51] bimberi: checks all clear [19:51] ActionParsnip: that's what I'm on now. [19:51] when I use interent, music play is slow and bad :( [19:52] hi [19:52] coolirisfoxZzz: I think that's either your internet connection, or your hardware. Try downloading it then playing it locally. [19:52] x_or: Can't you use the same card for both outputs? [19:52] coolirisfoxZzz: if it's still bad, you've probably got poor hardware. [19:52] he needs to configure X correctly for multimonitor support [19:52] ChrizC: cool then run mount to see whats mounted and umount partitions mentioned in nsudo fdisk -l [19:52] as long as the kernel recognizes the devices [19:53] keepsake: I have a single PCI-e slot on the box, and the onboard video card is soldered on. Right? [19:53] then he should be able to configure multimonitor support via xorg.conf [19:53] x_or: Oh, I didn't know. [19:53] ActionParsnip: sorry again, linux newbie, mount? nsudo fdisk? [19:53] why is that even if I select to connect automatically to a network connection configuration (pppoe) ubuntu is not connecting at restart is that a bug ?? [19:53] ChrizC: then check the disks health with fsck [19:53] ChrizC: no i mean [19:53] x_or: I'm not really sure how to deal with your problem, sorry. [19:53] ChrizC: open terminal, type: sudo fdisk -l [19:54] ChrizC: for example rhythmbox or... not online music [19:54] keepsake: Thanks for listening. [19:54] coolirisfoxZzz: what's your RAM and CPU like? [19:54] ChrizC: those will show you your partitions, you can then sudo umont /dev/ to make sure they are unmounted [19:55] ChrizC: 512/2.4 intel it's not mine, my friend's pc [19:55] man xorg.conf [19:55] there's a DEVICE SECTION [19:56] you can set the number of screens and parameters [19:56] coolirisfoxZzz: then I'm not sure. Poor quality of the file? try a different file. [19:56] ActionParsnip: all unmounted [19:56] ChrizC: then in terminal run: sudo fsck -Aa [19:57] ChrizC: if that doesnt fly use: sudo fsck -a /dev/ [19:57] ActionParsnip: "fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008)" [19:57] get it working blazalt ? :p [19:57] So, the onboard video card which I am using on the shuttle is off, but was working before the second was added. Is there a way to turn on the first card again? Where do I begin to look for this? [19:57] ChrizC: yeah just let it run, it will tell you if your drives and partitions are ok [19:57] ChrizC: all music files !! [19:57] hey guys, where can I get the latest 9.04 pre-release to test it and help developing? [19:57] Thanks Ax3 that was pretty simple, but how would i locate the php.ini file? (im in the shell) [19:58] blazalt, cd /etc/php5/apache2 && ls -lha [19:58] I'm currently listening to music but firefox will use my PC speaker as output. How can I tell it to use (gnome) sounds? [19:58] ActionParsnip: it did nothing, but when I did it for /dev/hda, it told me there was a bad magic number is a super-block? [19:58] jacksparrow: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/alpha6 [19:58] keepsake: thx [19:58] jacksparrow: Alternately, if you're running 8.10, update-manager -d in terminal will do it for you. === Kissaki_ is now known as Kissaki [19:58] keepsake: the ubuntu page is actually complicated [19:58] blazalt, then: sudo nano -w php.ini [19:59] is there a way to mirror-terminal, to watch what my users do in terminal? [19:59] chetnick, use screen [19:59] keepsake: will I be able to boot both then? [19:59] hi i have 2 different ubunut installs on my computer,one has 300gigs of data i need,the other is only 40gis,would ther be any way to transfer my files from the larger one to the smaller one and simulatiniusly shrink the larger partition transfering the new empty space to the smaller partition? [19:59] jacksparrow: Both? [19:59] Good afternoon, is there a way to get the terminal in 8.10 to stop smoothing my fonts? :) [19:59] ChrizC: just when using net [19:59] keepsake: 8.04 and 9.04, will I be able to choose which one to boot? [19:59] jacksparrow: If you update with update-manager, your current Ubuntu is upgraded to it. [19:59] is there a reason that egrep 1\.2\.3\.[0-9] file.txt matches 12.2.3.4 ? [20:00] jacksparrow: If you install with the CD, you can make a new partition for 9.04 to keep 8.04. [20:00] chetnick, this might be what you want: http://www.linux.com/articles/56443 [20:00] 9.04's out? [20:00] Ax3: thanks i will look in to it :) [20:00] !jaunty [20:00] Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009, Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [20:00] ChrizC: No, Alpha6 is out. [20:00] keepsake: I think it may be useful to keep the old version [20:00] Ah. [20:00] wow Ax3, you're the man! [20:00] ChrizC: no. 9.04 is a date [20:00] DIFH-iceroot: I'm not an idiot. [20:00] ChrizC: year 2009, month 04 [20:01] jacksparrow: Then download the CD and use it =P [20:01] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKxIHXg5XJ8 [20:01] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKxIHXg5XJ8 [20:01] nalead: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:01] keepsake: jup, thx [20:01] chetnick, basically, someone will start the screen session, set multiuser, add the user to the session, then the other person (to see the session) will do screen -x username/session . Easy as pie ;) [20:01] blazalt, glad to help ;) [20:01] DIFH-iceroot: Is that actually how it works? [20:02] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKxIHXg5XJ8 very funny [20:02] nalead, go away [20:02] Ax3: Thanks a lot man :) [20:02] keepsake: btw, what is the most intelligent way to install a new iso without burning a cd? [20:02] hi [20:02] chetnick, man screen - it's well worth the read, screen is one of the most powerful programs in linux. I use it every day. [20:02] how can i fix this problem? Unterprozess post-installation script gab den Fehlerwert 2 zurück [20:02] jacksparrow: It would be to burn the CD =P [20:03] http://nopaste.org/p/a3Hb8pJLpb [20:03] where to get games for ubuntu ? also..where can i see list of drivers/hardware in ubunto like winxp .. in winxp i go to control panel--system-etc.. in ubuntu how? [20:03] jacksparrow: Helpful to keep a CD in case you need it. [20:03] !screen [20:03] Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [20:03] hey all, I just fsck'ed the disk I'm trying to install Ubuntu to, and it says I've got a bad magic number in a super-block, what the hell does this mean? [20:03] by the way i just installed ubuntu first time running this os :). [20:03] ChrizC, that's definitely not good [20:03] ChrizC: the superblock is corrupted ? there is a way to tell fsck to use the backup superblock [20:04] ChrizC, you may be able to tell the disk to avoid using it [20:04] keepsake: okay :D.. another question: could it be useful to use VMs to test 9.04 or would you suggest it on real hardware? [20:04] Hello everybody i am new to ubuntu and i got everything i need running except i need to get java working how can i do this? the java under applications wont work in mozilla firefox please help me if u can [20:04] e2fsck -b? [20:04] jacksparrow: If you can VM it, just do that for now. It's only an Alpha release. [20:04] ChrizC: is "e2fsck -b 32768 -restofoptions" [20:04] does anyone here have experience with an i7? [20:05] evilbug, i don't, but what's your issue [20:05] erUSUL: it's telling me to "e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hda" [20:05] ezio: install sun-java6-plugin [20:05] keepsake: so you think that bugs in VMs will also be useful for real machines then [20:05] jacksparrow, use vmware or virtual box, it's not wise to use the alpha at this time [20:05] ChrizC: for 4k blocksize is 32768 [20:05] ChrizC: nobody uses 1k blocksize filsystems any more [20:06] jacksparrow: The issue is that an alpha release might have damaging bugs (as people report data loss with ext4 and such) === numskul is now known as helix` [20:06] jacksparrow: real hardware is good for hw support testing, but thats about it [20:06] ezio: intalling the package i just told you [20:06] erUSUL: "e2fsck: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/hda" "Could this be a zero-length partition?"

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:07] ChrizC: should be /dev/hda(somenumber) and in modern ubuntu it would be /dev/sda [20:07] anyone interested in getting bonus invite for dropbox? i have one free [20:07] evilbug, you should be good with either, the linux kernel 2.6.__ has support for both [20:07] hey, just installed the gstreamer updates for intrepid, i was seeking back and forth in a video in mplayer when all of a sudden it froze. i had to kill -9 mplayer, but then upon re-running i got "no audio device" errors. i just ran "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart" but i still don't have audio - what's my best plan of attack?

So when I open these two programs, I have no where, to minimize them to on the upper panel. how di fix this? [20:31] ChrizC: that may be a problem with the hard drive itself or a bug in the disk controller driver in linux or many other things [20:32] erUSUL: so how do I fix it? [20:32] erUSUL, the reason I am asking is that with all the custom software installs it would be nice if I could search through all man pages like in the help and support button [20:32] yello?

[20:34] Jerusalem420: add a "notification area" to you panel [20:34] Well, I already cleared out my windows sector of my harddrive [20:35] but the other partition that contains Ubuntu was not affected [20:35] when I launch rythmbox, it used to minimize to the upper panel and i could click the icon and change songs, etc. [20:35] Jerusalem420: right click on the panel choose add [20:35] only the C: drive partition was [20:35] i played with the panel today [20:35] so now I just wanna clear out the partition that has ubuntu and make it "brand new" again [20:35] thanks [20:35] thanx erUSUL [20:35] runes: no problem [20:35] exactly what i needed. thanks a lot. === peter_ is now known as Guest97129 [20:36] skunch: I suppose you could always reinstall Ubuntu, but other than that I'm not sure if there's anything else you could do.

[20:37] ahh ok [20:38] will it already show me which parts that are covered by ubuntu? [20:38] skunch: i should be obvious...

[20:52] ax3 dont like pidgin [20:53] atari: the newer versions of X (on most platforms) now uses a minimal conf, to make on the fly changes in your setup manageable by X ... but if you have an older xorg.conf for your hardware setup you can try it out [20:53] Ax3- thanks for the tip. [20:53] stabbyjoe12, what's NOT too like about pidgin? it has wide support for every protocal, prolific developer plugin base.... [20:53] this motherboard solves any heat issues with a hot. newer pentium4.... the FSB won't go up as high as the P4s want, so, say, a 2.8ghz p4 with a 21x multiplier goes 2.1ghz. never gets above 47C, under full load, and no AC. [20:53] atari: to rephrase ... short is normal in the recent X versions [20:53] ax3 no webcam:) [20:54] stabbyjoe12, overrated [20:54] glitsj16: so then. i doant have an pointer device in the config. how should i add additional options for a special driver?

However when I ftp the server, the vsftpd process still runs as nobody. Does anyone know what I did wrong? [20:55] I whoudl think the ftp server is supposed to run as 'nobody.' not as the user. [20:57] doesn't FTP stuff have to run under root? due to the whole "any port under 1024 requires root" thing? [20:57] what is the default mode of my wireless adapter? [20:57] vsftpd currently runs under root, yes [20:57] is there a way for Rhythmbox to search a music db to find your unknown artist info? [20:57] iwconfig wlan0 mode ??? [20:57] Soviet_Bob, normally services get started by 'root' then switch to a safer user.. thats the reason we have the ftp and apache 'users' i guess one can say [20:57] Soviet_Bob: not necessarily. the ftp daemon can drop its root privileges to run as normal user [20:57] you can't typically start service level daemons without root privelege [20:57] nOStahl: no ther isnt [20:58] BadElvis: type iwconfig [20:58] Soviet_Bob, not excatly a 'normal' user but not 'root' level user either. restricted to their own dirs and stuff.

[20:59] glitsj16: gnah... i'm just looking for a way to get an old fashioned xorg.conf [21:00] BadElvis is there a linux app that does?

[21:00] I'm still fairly new to linux configuring/commands,,, so when I had to run a server(not web) on a port under 1024, oh god that caused me some grief... I knew about the limitation, but not how to get it to start with the system as root. and don't worry, I have it figured out now. [21:00] atari: i used to have wlan connection. then i switched to monitor mode and it is gone now. i would like to switch back to some mode in which i can connect to my router again. [21:01] glitsj16: isnt there a way to generate one? as xorg gets its own config on runtime it should be possible, not? [21:01] how do I find out where an application was extracted to? I just installed testdisk but I'd like to know which folder it went to [21:01] BadElvis: iwconfig $interface scan [21:01] BadElvis: iwlist $interface ap [21:01] nOStahl: i dont know a good one. i use ID3 Tag it under windows. some people use the picard tagger under linux [21:01] BadElvis: iwconfig $interface essid $ssid [21:01] mleger, haven't used wubi, I don't know how 'normal' it is. I'd try installing a 'real' ubuntu on a real disk, then srync-ing across from wubi. might work, might completely noodle the install, but ar least you won't have lost anything [21:01] Soviet_Bob: man authbind [21:02] run dhcp an int should work again... [21:02] ZenMasta: you mean like whereis testdisk? [21:02] mleger, s/srync/rsync/ [21:02] although the network manager should take care of that... === elizabeth_ is now known as DPic_ [21:02] what's the difference between the live CD and DVD?

[22:48] thanks [22:48] pvtpete: Usually the dhcp server will set it. if mask is 255.255.255.0 then broadcast is x.x.x.255 [22:49] hmm ok [22:49] _vim_: this is for other versions of ubuntu [22:49] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843012 [22:49] how do I know if they've been properly assigned ?

It should be stopped, then you can start (manually) mysqld in safe mode [22:55] oCean_, can u send me a private message how i do that ? [22:55] why does ubuntu increase screen brightness when idle? [22:55] XPS_M1330, yes, I do not see a way to call that from CLI, still you can navigate xman > manual pages > 8 > modprobe, but yes awkward [22:56] thank you [22:56] does everything work the same with the ps3 like a regular computer?

[23:02] i really tried to find the solution, but its up to my powers, i really need help, my problem is disgusted :-/ :( [23:02] zaccour: no since linux distros aren't compiled for cell optimization unless you use ibm distro or one of the hardware vendors distros [23:02] Can you HELP with this problem my computer will not pick up a Wireless signal from the adapter i attached [23:02] Whats better System76 laptops or dell laptops?

Does it matter what kind of hard drive I pick, or are they all universal? [23:03] kitche, ibm makes os distros? [23:03] Droopsta915, there is sata and pata drives [23:03] is there a pidgin packaging team? [23:04] hay im new to ubuntu and how do i open a rar file?? [23:04] agroker: thank, I'll try it. Will it work even though I'm on the Live CD? [23:04] zaccour: well they compile one for their cell processors since some of their servers come with the cell think it's red hat or something specialized [23:04] natsukashi, it is a livecd in itself [23:04] <_VIM_> !rar | micah [23:04] micah: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [23:04] <[-jon-]> what is the most current version of ubuntu? 8.1? [23:04] install unrar [23:05] I have some paths doubling up in my PATH variable... where could it be coming from? I checked ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc and /etc/environment [23:05] agroker: I noticed, thank. I thought it was a program. :) [23:05] What is pdflush? [23:05] what's the modprobe command to get info about the cdrom? [23:05] [-jon-]: it's 8.10, but yes [23:05] <[-jon-]> kk thanks [23:06] specifically, I added an item to the front of PATH in /etc/environment but when I log in there are other things showing up in front of it taking precedence. [23:06] XPS_M1330: modprobe isn't anything to do with cdrom [23:06] LordMetroid, pdflush is dirty filesystem buffers waiting to be flushed to the harddisk [23:06] ikonia: if I want to post a message on the forum, what's the information I need to supply? [23:06] XPS_M1330: anything relevant to your question [23:07] Hmm, it never gets flushed :( [23:07] hi all. I think I have my rsync set up but I want to test it. When I use the flag --dry-run it seems to run, doesn't sync any files but gives me no report. any ideas? [23:07] LordMetroid, if you are using ext3 it should flush every 5 seconds [23:07] So, how do I format an USB drive? something with fdisk or ... ? [23:08] natsukashi: exactly the same as a normal hard disk [23:08] XPS_M1330, sudo lshw [23:08] can anyone help me with a dns issue? I can resolve an IP address when I use "host test-computer.test.local" but when I try to ping the same address it DOESN'T work "ping test-computer.test.local' [23:08] LordMetroid, read this http://ymei.freeshell.org/gopher/Book/Linux.Kernel.Development.2ed/ch15lev1sec4.html [23:08] natsukashi: host doesn't not use libresolve [23:09] ikonia: I've never formatted a normal Hard rdive in Ubuntu. :/ [23:09] natsukashi: ping does not mean it can't resolve [23:09] natsukashi: use gparted [23:09] nate[oz]: host does not use libresolve [23:09] nate[oz]: ping failing does not mean a DNS issue, and host does not use librsolve [23:09] Hello [23:09] natsukashi: And if Gparted doesn't do it, use qtparted. [23:10] * dr_willis waits for a WinParted === newmember_ is now known as newmember [23:10] Does anyone have any suggestions for programs to install to make kubuntu run more efficiently? [23:10] xavierg2003: in what way ? [23:10] xavierg2003, totally depends on what you do with the computer. [23:10] xavierg2003: gnome :) [23:10] Games [23:10] oCean_, thank your for your detail help! [23:10] xavierg2003, sudo apt-get purge kde* [23:10] xavierg2003: run them on their native OS [23:10] xavierg2003: that's a pretty solid start [23:11] abyss_: sure, you're welcome. [23:11] xavierg2003, use the most minimal window manager you can - to allow more cpu/mem/stuff for your games. [23:11] ikonia, kitche: when I ping the IP address it returns, it works, it's only the hostname it's not working for [23:11] nate[oz]: what happens if you use nslookup - which does use libresolve [23:11] one sec [23:11] what is purge ? [23:11] purge = to remove competely [23:11] completly. [23:11] xavierg2003, remove with dependencies [23:11] Can anyone here answer this question.. is there a way to packet overload something usering ubuntu? [23:11] xavierg2003, sudo apt-get preload [23:12] seems to work fine ikonia [23:12] Fade1: ask a real question [23:12] I used lshw to try and figure out what kind of hard drive I have, what is the description for the hard drive? [23:12] xavierg2003, sudo apt-get install preload (correction) [23:12] xavierg2003, kde is slower than more lightweight wms like icewm, fluxbox etc [23:12] Fade1, there are a # of network testing and packet-manipulation tools out for linux. [23:12] question: i have a dell desktop computer that is running ubuntu server, but I have it hooked up to a monitor...after a little while, it will blank the screen, but will keep the led light on the back of the monitor on. I have tried setterm, and it doesn't seem to do anything to stop sending a signal (even if it is just a blank screen) [23:12] by kde you mean the internet browser? [23:13] xavierg2003, no, those fancy but slow widgets you observe every time you login into your kubuntu box [23:13] cmoss1, you mwan to say its blanking, but not powering off the monitor. [23:13] so nslookup & host works, but ping does not [23:13] weird stuff [23:13] nate[oz]: not really [23:13] dr_willis: yes, that's correct [23:13] nate[oz]: look at /etc/nsswitch.conf [23:13] can anyone help me with mounting? I need to be able to mount and unmount network shares in a script. I've added the shares to my fstab so they look like this: http://nopaste.com/p/aLGyXJ0We and I'm trying to mount them in the script with this line: mount /mnt/backup/dump but it's telling me "Mount error 20: Not a directory" [23:13] so first purge then preload then....? [23:14] they're samba shares [23:14] xavierg2003, that was a bad joke, do not purge anything [23:14] cmoss1, i just turn the monitors off. on my servers.. since they go for weeks at a time befor i need to see the display [23:14] i thought so thats why i didn't type it in [23:14] l337ingDisorder, the mouintpoint directory MUST exist beforhand. [23:14] just preload? [23:14] kitche, how do i im on irc? [23:14] dr_willis: the mountpoint directories all exist [23:15] dr_willis: yeah, my problem is that I have my mac hooked up to the DVI port on the same monitor, and when it goes to sleep, it switches back over to the analog signal because it is showing that blank screen [23:15] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/132749/ [23:15] l337ingDisorder, try thgem from the command line first then.. easier to trouble shoot that way [23:15] * Patric3 [23:15] * Patric3 [23:15] xavierg2003, purge was not a joke. it helps quite a bit. [23:15] Patric3: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:15] how do i im here? [23:15] ... [23:15] zaccour: do you mean private message? [23:15] xavierg2003, yes, but only if you install something else in exchange, try LXDE you should feel faster [23:15] FloodBot2: Excuse me!? [23:15] zaccour: oh /msg [23:16] cmoss1, yes [23:16] Damm bots [23:16] nate[oz]: that all looks fine [23:16] dr_willis: that's the weird thing.. it works from the command line when I just use: mount -o username=Administrator,password=secret //server1/share/dump /mnt/backup/dump [23:16] lxde? i am very new with the command prompt. [23:16] wondering...what does this mean? [23:16] cannot load the jack library (dlopen/dlsym error on libjack.so) [23:16] i am ony about a week into kubuntu [23:16] <[KVM]1> I'm just wondering if someone can tell me why in a couple of fresh Ubuntu Jaunty install I've got very cool detachable toolbars in Anjuta, and in another "updated" version it doesn't. Why?? [23:16] xavierg2003, yet another wm [23:16] but if I use mount /mnt/backup/dump (like I should be able to) it doesn't seem to reference the fstab entry [23:16] and i already crashed it once [23:17] l337ingDisorder, odd.. You are mouinting them with sudo mouint /mnt/backup/dump ? [23:17] lxde is a wms but would i just use apt-get install lxde [23:17] !desktop | xavierg2003 [23:17] xavierg2003: A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors [23:17] ok so it says ide0, driver=sata_sil and ide1, driver=pata_atiixp. So is one drive SATA AND one is PATA? [23:17] l337ingDisorder, as a work around - you could put the commands in rc.local i guess. :) but i would imagine thers some typo/quirk we are overlooking [23:17] hey _vim_: you get any of that audio stuff to work? [23:17] dr_willis: logged in as root... # mount /mnt/backup/dump [23:18] ahh.... i see. so kubuntu is a wms as is lxde and puppy etc etc etc? [23:18] why is shell scripting so addictive? [23:18] xavierg2003, you are getting things confused. [23:18] kinda like an O.s? [23:18] !distro | xavierg2003 [23:18] xavierg2003: Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [23:18] dr_willis: well since it's in my fstab do I need to do anything to have it re-read the fstab? reboot the machine maybe? (hoping to avoid that) [23:18] xavierg2003, linux is the core of the os. Puppy linuix is a linux disrobutiion [23:18] l337ingDisorder, sudo mount -a [23:18] <_VIM_> mylisto: naa not yet, havent had time, but i got those links logged for later :) [23:19] i want to use backticks in a cronjob.. how do i have to escape them? [23:19] When I open a spreadsheet in Open Office it expands to whole screen - tried several different views etc. but can not make smaller so I can open other apps - Any ideas how to fcix ? ? [23:19] *fix [23:19] good... [23:19] hmm.... [23:19] /full/path/to/binary argument1 argument2 -d `date --date="yesterday" +"%Y-%m-%d"` [23:19] that's the command [23:19] how do i use that in a cronjob? [23:20] i am trying to learn but comprehension is comming slowly, [23:20] hi guys =D [23:20] zamba, use $(stuff) instead of backticks [23:20] can anyone help me...got this error...when trying to use jack capture ports in record my desktop [23:20] cannot load the jack library (dlopen/dlsym error on libjack.so) [23:20] zamba, is the easier to read way [23:20] i can't even put a simple command line together unless i use a preexisting one [23:20] dr_willis: ok well that doesn't seem to have fixed it [23:20] ikonia: had a look at a mates nsswitch.conf and line 11 was different, I changed it to "hosts: files dns"... and it worked! :) [23:20] How can I learn my Internet IP address from the commandline, if I'm connected through a router [23:20] dr_willis: $(date --date="yesterday" +"%Y-%m-%d")? [23:20] volfield2, ifconfig [23:21] zamba, yes. :) [23:21] ifconfig gives me my local IP address, I need my internet IP [23:21] dr_willis: thanks :) [23:21] echo $(date --date="yesterday" +"%Y-%m-%d") [23:21] dr_willis: I do notice it's saying "Refer to the mount.cifs man page" but this is smbfs not cifs... (it's defined as smbfs in the fstab) [23:21] ok so im newto ubuntu and any sort of linux operting systems can you guys recommend any places i can go to read up on everything nd learn how to really take full advantage of this programme? [23:21] hi guys [23:21] Newbuntu, man === melik_ is now known as melik [23:21] zamba, down with backticks. :) they just are hard to see/and cause other issues on some things. [23:21] dr_willis: agreed [23:21] Newbuntu, all the docs you need are already bundled on your computer [23:21] Ax3 i assum you mean in ther terminal? [23:21] l337ingDisorder, cifs can be used instead of smbfs I belive.. and i belive cifs is reccomdnedd [23:21] volfield, dunno wether thats possible [23:21] Newbuntu, yup [23:21] ohok [23:21] Can't open any other apps with a spreadsheet open in Open Office - Anyone have idea how to resolve ? ? [23:21] thanks for the help but must go see you later [23:22] cifs is recommended, yeah [23:22] where do i find the bundles? [23:22] xavierg2003, then start reading here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IceWM [23:22] it can do so much more than smbfs can [23:22] I can't empty the Trash, i got a message says Permission denied.

[23:48] dr_willis: i already saw taht [23:48] <_Linuxx_> [-jon-] try acpi=off [23:48] aboleth, then ask a more specific question? [23:48] <[-jon-]> _Linuxx_: how? [23:48] i did [23:48] earlier [23:48] <[-jon-]> it wont even reconize the disk as bootable [23:48] aboleth, when in doubt check the forums also. [23:48] <[-jon-]> unless the drive is faulty -- fedora was on a dvd [23:49] !passwd [23:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about passwd [23:49] thats why i'm here [23:49] Barridus: you go into the sessions option at the gdm login [23:49] <_Linuxx_> [-jon-] you burned it as an ISO? [23:49] i was reading a forum thread [23:49] <[-jon-]> yes [23:49] dr_willis, are you certain? i mean it would explain the lack of prompt asking [23:49] i followed everything [23:49] everything seemed to work [23:49] before you log in [23:49] [-jon-]: at the boot prompt, press F6 twice [23:49] but i still have no sound [23:49] <_Linuxx_> [-jon-] i dont know, i would check the md5 of your download [23:49] except in tremulous [23:49] Barridus, there is no xfceDM that ive ever seen. [23:49] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 [23:49] that thread [23:49] aboleth: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:49] <[-jon-]> _Linuxx_: it has happened to both the packaged ubuntu disk I received [23:49] jetscreamer, no that's to choose the desktop environment you are logging into :p not the login window [23:49] <[-jon-]> and the downloaded and burned one [23:50] <_Linuxx_> [-jon-] will the CD read in windows? [23:50] <[-jon-]> Im not sure [23:50] <[-jon-]> I dont have a windows machine with a cd drive [23:50] [-jon-]: at the boot prompt, tap F6 twice, and hit enter once you selected acpi=off [23:50] <_Linuxx_> [-jon-] are you in fedora now? [23:50] hi [23:50] <[-jon-]> _Linuxx_: no [23:50] everything appears to be working correctly still [23:50] Barridus: what do you think you're trying to do ?? :) [23:50] except the sound itself [23:50] that is what you're trying to do [23:51] <_Linuxx_> [-jon-] what os are you are you on now? [23:51] jetscreamer, ask a question about the login window itself? like i asked? [23:51] i thought you wanted to go to xfce [23:51] silly me [23:51] do you want the results of aplay -l and such? [23:51] !rip [23:51] For information about the Sound Juicer ripping application see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping. To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar [23:51] jetscreamer, yes i do, but i'm aware how. that's why i didn't ask how to do that, thanks [23:52] sound juicer isn't support though... [23:52] Barridus: try what i said (after you install xfce) there's even an option to make it default [23:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/132763/ [23:52] that is aplay -l [23:52] what did you ask then? [23:52] i read your question twice [23:52] now for pkill pulseaudio; sleep 2; pulseaudio -vv [23:52] in GRUB (hd0,1) = hard drive 1, partition 2? [23:53] Cahan, i guess hd0,2 [23:53] you can use any ?dm to log in to anything (mostly) [23:53] <[-jon-]> gartral: I cant get that to work right [23:53] <[-jon-]> the cd will not boot at all [23:53] Cahan, but isn't partition one hd0,0 ? [23:53] <_Linuxx_> [-jon-] what os are you are you on now? [23:53] xdm kdm gdm wdm... there's one or two more afaicr [23:53] <[-jon-]> vista [23:53] i think it is.. in that case, partition 2 would be hd0,1 [23:53] <_Linuxx_> [-jon-] no cdrom? [23:54] <[-jon-]> not hooked up [23:54] Does apt return a 1 if the process ran successfully? [23:54] * jetscreamer bails [23:54] jetscreamer, don't worry, dr_willis answered it [23:54] <_Linuxx_> [-jon-] any machine with an OS that has a cdrom? [23:54] <[-jon-]> it has fedora installed on it [23:54] <[-jon-]> i guess i could boot into it [23:54] <_Linuxx_> [-jon-] check to see if it reads your cd [23:54] <[-jon-]> brb === http is now known as nel [23:54] * nel is back.
