[00:40] PVTPETE just type the exact command [00:41] dan___, that needs superuser tho :p [00:41] fearful, what is the reason why ooo3 isn't in the official repos? is it just timing? e.g. waiting for jaunty? [00:41] <_Linuxx_> felixsulla i would need to test with snapshots. best is not to have any of course. I would check to see if, when you create a snapshot, is the original vdi still locked, you know what im saying? [00:41] oh right... [00:41] ok i've go another error [00:41] crdlb, not sure which driver I was using under Hardy. It just worked, so I never questioned it. [00:41] _Linuxx_: well I know you can "merge" your snapshots to get rid of them maybe I should jsut do that [00:41] <_Linuxx_> anna_111 when in doubt, sudo! :-P [00:41] LogicFan, its not in the repos now because it oo3 was in beta test on intrepid launch, but now all you need to do is add the newer repository for Intrepid and voila. [00:41] Izinucs, sorry, what does !resolution mean? [00:41] dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libc6-dev: [00:41] libc6-dev depends on libc6 (= 2.8~20080505-0ubuntu9); however: [00:41] Package libc6 is not installed. [00:41] dpkg: error processing libc6-dev (--configure): [00:41] dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [00:41] PVTPETE: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:41] Errors were encountered while processing: [00:42] <_Linuxx_> felixsulla i would [00:42] PVTPETE, http://paste.ubuntu.com :p [00:42] !pastebin | PVTPETE [00:42] PVTPETE: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [00:42] <_Linuxx_> felixsulla i have the same issue in vmware esx [00:42] "libc6 is not installed" -- this will be interesting [00:42] ok [00:42] !resolution > cje [00:42] cje, please see my private message [00:42] _Linuxx_: The documentation on Vbox is TERRIBLE. [00:42] cje: you'd probably have more luck trying it with the open source driver, so I'd disable fglrx and reboot first [00:42] felixsulla: so fix it [00:43] fearful, thanks, appreciate the update [00:43] guude [00:43] Gnea: ? === ExAstris is now known as ExAwayStris [00:43] <_Linuxx_> felixsulla yeah, but the forums are awesome, post your queston there, with LOTS of info, you willget a replay [00:43] <_Linuxx_> reply [00:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/132781/ [00:43] for the terminal error [00:43] LogicFan, your welcome, softpedia has a very easy walk through on installing. Google; openoffice 3.0 ubuntu 8.10 softpedia [00:43] felixsulla: what do you mean, ?? this is linux, it means that, if you don't like the way something works, you change it and make it work better. :) [00:43] Gnea: to answer your question I typed this wget -c http://www.plasticbugs.com/blogimg/gimpshop_2.2.11-1_i386.deb [00:43] sudo dpkg -i gimpshop_2.2.11-1_i386.deb [00:43] _Linuxx_: I've googled lots of things, seems no one can give a concise tutorial on the backups. [00:43] Anna_111: do you understand what that did? [00:44] Anna_111: oh my.... one sec [00:44] crdlb, sorry, what does !resolution > cje mean? [00:44] Gnea: Only I didnt code VBox so I'm not in much of a position to change it. Besides, I think the technology is good, its just poorly documented. [00:44] <_Linuxx_> felixsulla this guy hints on it.. "http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=14783" [00:44] crdlb, ! usually means "not" [00:44] Gnea: It was from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=423635 [00:44] felixsulla: the documentation is always open to re-interpretation [00:44] cje: it's a trigger for ubottu, who just /msged you [00:44] <_Linuxx_> felixsulla seriously hit the forums, you will be amazed [00:45] _Linuxx_: I read that post, but it doesnt anwser any questions about UID's or the .xml files usage or what they do [00:45] fearful, adding repos now [00:45] crdlb, thx! [00:45] crdlb, so it's sort of a help bot trigger? [00:45] _Linuxx_: Searching on the forums for "backups" comes up with hundreds of hits, but I never found a good clear explanation. [00:45] hey guise i need 2 gt my pc runnin again my m8 put n it the ubuntu mandrake 3.3 nw cant get games and lol wont start guise help lol! [00:45] PVTPETE, run sudo apt-get update [00:45] Gnea: If I get a good system going for backups I'll post my own tutorial :) [00:45] i want tto highlight a bunch of mp3 and open them in vlc, i want it to play them in order not to open multiplte instances of vlc, how do i do that? (on itrepid-gnome) [00:45] cje: yes [00:45] crdlb, btw, the non-Free drivers are working! yay! [00:46] felixsulla: :D [00:46] ok [00:46] PVTPETE, then run sudo apt-get autoclean [00:46] crdlb, now I just have to hang my head in shame for about one month or so [00:46] heh [00:46] Gnea: But first I have to understand it myself.. heh [00:46] felixsulla: by all means... :) [00:46] <_Linuxx_> felixsulla post the question. im sure other people have that same question, and nobody is asking it [00:46] ok it's getting the update [00:46] :) [00:46] mike454ci: please speak english [00:46] jrib : was it for Debian? [00:46] crdlb, but at least the headaches will stop [00:46] btw - another problem. I've formatted several drives with the gpartition manager and I don't have permissions for the drives [00:46] Anna_111: it could be *anything* [00:46] is there any way to gain permission ? [00:47] _Linuxx_: I did, have only gotten one somewhat vague answer so far. We'll see if something more awesome pops up. The guy just pointed at http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=29266#29266 which is really high level and generalized. [00:47] PVTPETE, are they ext3 partitions? [00:47] yep [00:47] PVTPETE, or 2 [00:47] 3 [00:47] _Linuxx_: Either way I appreciate your help/insights. [00:47] PVTPETE -> you cannot even get into gpartition lest you have root priviledges? [00:47] PVTPETE, sudo chmod -R 755 /directory [00:47] Anna_111: I see, now, the problem: -rwxr-xr-x root/root 3010612 2006-07-16 04:26 ./usr/local/bin/gimp-2.2 [00:48] i've got root permission on my root drive with ubuntu installed [00:48] _Linuxx_ for slocate I got this: http://pastebin.com/m29cc1564 could you pls take a look? [00:48] Anna_111: so, try typing this on the commandline: gimp-2.2 [00:48] ty fearful [00:48] PVTPETE, wait, if its were the install is you don't want to do that.. [00:48] how do i upgrade to a new distro with the ppc version? [00:48] PVTPETE, I assumed they were separate partitions you were mounting [00:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/132783/ [00:49] seperate hard drives [00:49] crdlb, thx a lot for your help! [00:49] <_Linuxx_> felixsulla, NP bro, i love virtual machines, i run 80% virtual at work with over 80 servers. I deal with a lot of stupid crap when it comes to virtual technology [00:49] internally mounted [00:49] * Kumba_ burps and itches himself [00:49] crdlb, I am going to leave soon, but thanks again tons! [00:49] 3 120 gig ones [00:49] PVTPETE, well, I meant /directory as in /media/ [00:49] <_Linuxx_> anna_111 "sudo slocate-u" [00:49] <_Linuxx_> anna_111 "sudo slocate gimpshop" [00:49] Izinucs, thx to you, too, for your help! I will be leaving soon. [00:49] PVTPETE, example sudo chmod -R 755 /media/disk1 [00:50] ahhh ok [00:50] _Linuxx_: no need, it's called, quite simply: gimp-2.2 [00:50] so I have to specify the mount point [00:50] PVTPETE, correct [00:50] :) [00:50] dunce hat for me [00:50] gnea: : http://pastebin.com/m3976m6f could you pls take a look? [00:50] :) [00:50] <_Linuxx_> gnea gimpshop is? [00:50] <_Linuxx_> gnea i know gimp is [00:50] _Linuxx_: yeah, snag the .deb and dpkg --contents and you'll see what I mean [00:51] <_Linuxx_> gnea is gimpshop not something different?!?! [00:51] Anna_111: says it's not there [00:51] gimp + different menu layouts [00:51] right [00:51] terminal downloaded the updates [00:51] <_Linuxx_> i thought so [00:51] afaik [00:51] but since i dont use Pshop.. i dont need it. :) [00:51] _Linuxx_: indeed Gimpshop is basically The GIMP, except it puts everthing into a big frame [00:51] <_Linuxx_> so it wont have the same binary [00:51] Gnea: synaptic says it's installed [00:52] <_Linuxx_> sebsebseb so it wont have the same binary [00:52] it's not the same binary, sebsebseb [00:52] is there a way to search typical mailing lists? [00:52] how do i upgrade to a new distro with the ppc version? [00:52] binarymutant: some have a web interface where you can search [00:53] looks like I got the same error again [00:53] <_igel_> hi [00:53] the alt+f2 and update-manager -d didnt work [00:53] _Linuxx_: that's why you need to pay attention to the actual contents of the package - it places it entirely in /usr/local, which means it's installed alongside of 'regular' gimp (for Ubuntu) in /usr - because there's already a gimp on the system, and because it's a third-party .deb package, it's not creating a menu item [00:53] i got an error [00:53] <_Linuxx_> sebsebseb / anna_111 / gnea - its not going to have the same binary as gimp... [00:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/132784/ same error [00:53] wow, what a speed improvement from openoffice 2.4 to 3.x! [00:53] Slart, what if they don't provide a web interface? any other way? [00:54] _Linuxx_: and, if you saw what I said before........ 19:48 < Gnea> Anna_111: I see, now, the problem: -rwxr-xr-x root/root 3010612 2006-07-16 04:26 ./usr/local/bin/gimp-2.2 <-- you can see that the binary has been found. [00:54] <_Linuxx_> sebsebseb / anna_111 / gnea - i think it would be very helpful to anna to learn how to find things on her machine, therefore some slocate knowledge would be good, dont you think? [00:54] binarymutant: not that I know of.. no [00:54] :( [00:54] _Linuxx_: agreed [00:54] PVTPETE, run sudo apt-get --fix-broken [00:54] <_Linuxx_> gnea thank you.. [00:54] anyone here know what the purpose of xforcevesa is? [00:54] Anna_111: were you able to run it okay? [00:54] can anyone help me detect my video capture card? [00:55] I have to use that to boot/install [00:55] Gnea is it a permission problem? I can chmod to 700 [00:55] <_Linuxx_> dan__ lspci [00:55] ok :) [00:55] !permissions | Anna_111 [00:55] Anna_111: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [00:55] sebsebseb, please [00:55] Anna_111: nope, worked right out of the box for me... I just had to run it from the commandline - no menu item here either [00:55] Anna_111: what :d ? [00:55] Lord-Jynx: sounds like something that forces X to use vesa instead of some other interface to the graphics card.. but I haven't used it myself so I'm not sure [00:55] doing... [00:55] _Linuxx_: gah its not there [00:56] Gnea.. ok , so what should I do now? [00:56] sebsebseb: *content!* :) [00:56] yeah, it's starting to annoy me :D [00:56] <_Linuxx_> dan__ lspci is not a command? [00:56] Anna_111: in the terminal, type this and press enter: gimp-2.2 [00:56] Gnea: wtf, what are you trying to say? [00:56] sebsebseb: that file permissions are not the problem :) [00:56] _Linuxx_: i typed lspci, the output does not show video capture device [00:56] Gnea: ok [00:56] sebsebseb: also, can the language, please [00:57] <_Linuxx_> anna_111 send me a pm if you get frustrated, and i will help you out [00:57] <_Linuxx_> dan__ is it a pci card? if not, "dmesg | less" [00:57] !pm | _Linuxx_ [00:57] _Linuxx_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [00:57] How do I upgrade to ubuntu studio ? [00:57] Without using a CD [00:57] <_Linuxx_> sebsebseb ... shut up bro... [00:58] _Linuxx_: and now after getting the bot to do that, sometimes it can be good to pm people [00:58] ah, xforcevesa appears to be safe graphics mode [00:58] anybody in here use terminator for their terminal? [00:58] ubuntu studio is just a bunch of default packages i thought. [00:58] _Linuxx_ it is. the funny thing is my pc used to detect it without a hitch - then i reinstalled intrepid by upgrading from hardy [00:58] !upgrade | Quickflip , I think there might be something useful here [00:58] Quickflip , I think there might be something useful here: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [00:58] Quickflip: ubuntu studio is not an upgrade.. it mirrors ubuntu with added packages not available in ubuntu [00:58] Veinor, yes. all the time. :) [00:58] Veinor, its my fave. [00:58] !language | _Linuxx_, sebsebseb [00:58] _Linuxx_, sebsebseb: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:58] I'm having problems with links. [00:58] <_Linuxx_> gnea cut it out.. that bot is annoying... [00:58] If they don't start with http://, I can't ctrl-click them to open them. Works fine in gnome-terminal [00:58] gnea: 1. Error shows on screen 2. splash screen says gimpshop and then Gimp opens [00:58] Quickflip: check out their site and you'll figure out how to add their repos and get what they've got. [00:58] <_Linuxx_> dan__ what about the live cd? [00:58] _Linuxx_: I won't tell you again. [00:59] <_Linuxx_> gnea serious, your attitude is getting old [00:59] Anna_111: okay, it's working just fine [00:59] k thanks [00:59] dr_willis: any advice? [00:59] _Linuxx_: I got a feeling Gnea might be a n op [00:59] _Linuxx_ : ?? i dont have a live cd. i installed from alternate install cd [00:59] Veinor, i never bother with the links, sorry. [00:59] bleh [00:59] Gnea but the screen says it's The Gimp .. lol am I getting Gimp or Gimpshop? [01:00] <_Linuxx_> sebsebseb dont care, if hes going to kick me, then kick me, so goes my free help... [01:00] hello everyone. can somebody help me install the drivers for my graphics card [01:00] _Linuxx_: calm down :) [01:00] tbqh I find that the bot gets overused [01:00] <_Linuxx_> dan__ do you have knoppix or some other live cd [01:00] but this isn't the time or the place [01:00] Which driver was it that can play audio from multiple programs at once? [01:00] and why am I getting the error on terminal, gnea? [01:00] Anna_111: heh, well I'm getting a different splashscreen as well... and according to the site ( http://plasticbugs.com/ ), it's just a set of scripts to enhance its use [01:00] _Linuxx_ they all got corrupted i am starting anew [01:00] <_Linuxx_> sebsebseb im calm.. just sick of the attitudes. [01:00] joetheodd: pulseaudio? or alsa i [01:01] aha, figured out why [01:01] _Linuxx_ maybe i should try with xp no? [01:01] <_Linuxx_> dan__ nooooooo! === devnull is now known as _devnull_ [01:01] <_Linuxx_> dan__ :-P [01:01] Anna_111: like this? /usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/print: error while loading shared libraries: libgimpprint.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [01:01] How would I uninstall something I have compiled from source? [01:01] _Linuxx_ to see if xp can detect hardware === _devnull_ is now known as ddevnull [01:01] melrockz: depends.. usually "sudo make uninstall" works [01:01] thanks [01:01] _Linuxx_ if not then it is hardware problem right? [01:01] melrockz: but that's if whoever wrote the software implemented it [01:02] dan___: I have missed your stuff, what's your problem? [01:02] <_Linuxx_> dan__ try this, "dmesg | more" and see if you cant see it there [01:02] Gnea yes that error [01:02] oh... otherwise? [01:02] sebsebseb: basically video capture card detection - i have new install from hardy upgraded to intrepid [01:02] Anna_111: well, if I run this: ldd /usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/print I see that it's not linking to libgimpprint.so [01:02] guys, do u know if that bug on ubuntu 8.10, about SAMBA not accessing windows sharing with passwords persists? I've found a solution, but it doesn't seems good [01:02] dan___: oh right xorg issues or whatever. you mean graphics card? [01:03] gnea: : http://pastebin.com/m26f913a8 [01:03] <_Linuxx_> sebsebseb, no he has a capture card [01:04] does anyone know a down-side of using xforcevesa and vga=xxx in the grub boot? [01:05] Anna_111: well, if I run this: ldd /usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/print I see that it's not linking to libgimpprint.so gnea what does it mean for me? [01:05] hello everyone. [01:05] sebsebseb no its a capture card [01:05] _Linuxx_ really isnt there [01:05] Im looking for a movie tagging program for ubuntu. Any ideas? [01:05] <_lowercase> hello princess zelda [01:05] <_Linuxx_> dan__ and it worked before the upgrade? [01:05] zelda: remind me what movie tagging is, if I even knew [01:06] Hello. Can somebody tell me what program to open .run files with. It is a ati driver [01:06] _lowercase: zelda is female? [01:06] you know how you can "tag" your music files... [01:06] Anna_111: well if yours is setup like mine is (I'm willing to bet so), then you probably don't have a libgimpprint.so anywhere on the system... sooo, the only way to get rid of the error is to find it [01:06] tag and rename to tag music files [01:06] <_lowercase> in the game: yes [01:06] well can you do that to movie files? .avi .mp4? [01:06] _Linuxx_ it worked in my previous intrepid install - all my intrepid cds got borked so i installed hardy then upgraded to intrepid [01:06] _Linuxx_ thanks man. i will be right back :) [01:06] <_Linuxx_> dan__ hum... [01:06] is there a key i can press while insterting cd/usb and have it not mount ? [01:07] You know to display the movie picture and get the year it was made etc. [01:07] ? [01:07] <_lowercase> zelda: i don't think so, it's embedded in the mp3 file format [01:07] zelda: can Banshee do it hummmmm [01:07] situbesteak: you need to logout, ctrl-alt too a virtual terminal (ctrl-alt-F2) and then sudo /path/to/drivers.run [01:07] you know like iTag? [01:08] is there a good AutoCad type program for Linux/Ubuntu? [01:08] QCad [01:08] <_Linuxx_> !cad [01:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about cad [01:08] situbesteak: you need to logout, ctrl-alt too a virtual terminal (ctrl-alt-F2) kill the x server and then sudo /path/to/drivers.run (sorry) [01:08] zelda: Banshee it seems can show loads of tags if you tell it to [01:08] <_Linuxx_> !qcad [01:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about qcad [01:08] Anna_111: figured it out. 1) sudo apt-get install gimp-gutenprint 2) sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgutenprint.so.1 /usr/lib/libgimpprint.so.1 && sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgimpprint.so.1 /usr/lib/libgimpprint.so && sudo ldconfig 3) run gimp-2.2 again [01:08] nicros_: QCad is very good [01:08] Hello People. [01:08] yeah but you dont play movie files with banshee [01:08] Thanks, i'll check it out. [01:08] zelda: lol yes you do [01:08] Wish they would port AutoCad to Linux [01:08] <_Linuxx_> xubuser hey [01:08] zelda: you play movie and video files with Banshee [01:09] Gnea: basically if I type gimp or gimp-2.2 I get the same splash screen that says gimpshop based on Gimp. Hpwever, in case of Gimp my command prompt does not come back after repeated ENTER whereas in case of gimp-2.2 it comes back after I hit enter 3 -4 times. [01:09] <_Linuxx_> nicros_ did you try wine? [01:09] yes [01:09] you know what im talking about right? Like music the album art... ? [01:09] zelda: and your on 8.10? [01:09] so updating to Jaunty via update-manager -d will overwrite all the stuff like wallpapers and gtk themes? [01:09] Gnea: also the wrror is the same in both cases [01:09] I use VLC [01:09] <_Linuxx_> nicros_ no dice? [01:09] zelda: yes banshee can show album art [01:09] Hey Guys, do u know if that bug on ubuntu 8.10, about SAMBA not accessing windows sharing with passwords persists? I've found a solution, but it doesn't seems good [01:09] haven't tried CrossoverLinux yet though [01:09] Anna_111: try running it like this then: gimp-2.2 & [01:09] for movie titles or is it just music? [01:09] in the bg? [01:09] xubuser: No. [01:09] ok [01:09] Anna_111: yup [01:09] xubuser: All your user settings are kept. [01:10] Im going to try. [01:10] zelda: not sure, but either way vlc is nice yes, but banshee is nice as well [01:10] keepsake: so, only thing changes is the OS. The login theme remains unchanged, right? [01:10] cool [01:10] Dreamglider: ... apparently there are two terminal clients named Terminator [01:10] zelda: that is if your on 8.10. if your on hardy you get a rubbish version of banshee unless you do the ppa [01:10] xubuser: It should remain unchanged; It did for me. [01:10] xubuser: (remain unchanged, that is) [01:10] DOH! [01:10] keepsake: thanks. :) [01:10] im not on 8.10 [01:10] zelda: your on 8.04? [01:10] yes [01:11] xubuser: No problem. [01:11] zelda: ok well you can have the good version if you do the ppa as I said [01:11] Veinor: ! [01:11] yeah. [01:11] ppa? [01:11] !ppa [01:11] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [01:11] it's messed up [01:11] ah, ok thanks. [01:11] Gnea: that's solved. Now, when *you* open your gimpshop do you get a Splash screen that says Gimpshop based on Gimp and does your top bar shows The Gimp or The Gimpshop? [01:11] I might just update to 8.10 [01:11] i mean, the first thing I do when I get an idea for a project is google search to see if someone else already came up with that idea and used that name [01:12] Hi all... Why is Ubuntu's Gnome menu so different to OpenSuse's Gnome Menu? [01:12] zelda: https://launchpad.net/~banshee-team/+archive/ppa [01:12] rreyes: ,because they are two completly different distros [01:12] because suse is for pusses [01:12] zelda: well 9.04 at the end of april and maybe you got to upgrade through 8.10 first [01:13] I plan on having a 9.04 launch party.

[01:13] Anna_111: gimp-2.2 shows the Gimpshop - and what's happened is, is that the new .deb package has taken /usr/bin/gimp symlink away and put it in /usr/local/bin, so now the default gimp is broken [01:14] _lowercase: just kidding, I'm under 21 :( [01:14] that'd be pretty funny though [01:14] Thanks LurkersA QCad looks great.

[01:33] !ncurses [01:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about ncurses [01:33] XPS_M1330: basically it's a broken system that's bandaided together - the .deb system is solid and robust. at any rate, I haven't used acidrip in a long time, so maybe I'll try it again soon [01:34] ok thanks!

[01:43] I am new [01:43] Nasra: in synaptic it's green [01:43] Nasra: if installed [01:43] yes [01:43] Nasra: on command line: sudo apt-get install programname [01:43] i am using sound juicer to extract a cd so i can put it on my mp3 but all wat happens is the disk turns and nothing else so what could the issue be? [01:44] XPS_M1330: or htop, if you have it installed [01:44] bleh... how much stuff uses xdg-open?

[01:44] schnauzer: top does not give PID but ps does [01:44] emerald does not work on Ubuntu 8.10? The theme does not change. [01:44] Nasra: yes new, but what are you installing? in fact pm me if you want to know about good packages (programs) to install [01:44] XPS_M1330: as far as I know the h doesn't stand for anything, but I still recommend you install it [01:45] it's better than top [01:45] melrockz, it does work.. you are most likely still using the gtk-window-decorator [01:45] Anna_111: ah... that it does... [01:45] veinor: I do have it. it's neat! [01:45] melrockz, in a terminal do "emerald --replace& exit" [01:45] sebsebseb: okay [01:45] yes, it is metacity now. How do i change it? [01:45] melrockz, or install fusion-icon [01:46] XPS_M1330: ps will give PID and then to kill the process you type kill -9 PID (PID is the process number) [01:46] good evening everyone [01:46] Anna_111: but ps doesn't display anything bu bash and ps [01:47] XPS_M1330: are ou running any other processes?

[01:47] if I'm in a chat room, I must be! [01:47] hello all... i am a complete noob and willing to convert away from windows... however i could use some easy literature explainging KDE/KUBUNUT/UBUNTU/LINUX etc. what is it, how it works, etc. Most sites and articles that i've read they explain one thing, using examples of others, thus i am back to square one. Any links or titles worth checking out? [01:47] XPS_M1330: I am in this chat room with my vista laptop :) [01:47] XPS_M1330 do a man -ps [01:47] XPS_M1330: i think ps only works on the applications you are running from that particular terminal window; if you do "gedit &" and then "ps", you will see gedit listed. [01:47] right. === pmguy is now known as pvtpickle [01:48] I guess that must be it. top seems to work fine, though [01:48] what's gedit & ? [01:48] XPS_M1330: however; top gives a lot more info and allows you to kill a process from within it [01:49] wow & runs an app out of the terminal? that's good to know! [01:49] XPS_M1330: It basically tells the terminal window to run gedit in the background, allowing you to run more than one program from each terminal window [01:49] <_Linuxx_> xps_m1330 "ps ax" [01:49] XPS_M1330: And yes, it is quite nice [01:49] XPS_M1330: It just detaches it; if you close the terminal you'll still kill the app [01:49] still no change... emerald [01:49] im trying to mount a nfs partition and getting "you might need a /sbin/mount. helper program)" [01:49] XPS_M1330: type ps -e [01:49] can anyone help me out > [01:49] ?

[01:52] :) [01:52] im trying to mount a nfs partition and getting "you might need a /sbin/mount. helper program)" [01:52] @prepelexed: i have done many searches, but the thing is: if i try to read an article about one thing, it uses the others in reference, thus confusing me even more. i am looking for something that will explain me things clearly, without refering to other, unknown things. [01:52] melrockz, hmm.. is the window decorator enabled on ccsm? [01:53] pietrubens -> you just have to deal with it, print a hard copy and you will not get bother by links [01:53] <_Linuxx_> riegersn1 paste the error here... then send me the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [01:53] !acetoneiso [01:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about acetoneiso [01:54] i cant seem to find libqt4-webkit or can somebody tell me how to install acetoneISO [01:54] good evening [01:54] @n8tuserf ???? when i said linking, i did not meant in the "internet" way, i meant linked in their terminology [01:54] i have installed on my laptop ubuntu with xfce desktop [01:54] along wondows vista [01:55] pietrubens -> if you have not picked up on it yet, thats how most books are, referencing other books.. so really you have to accept thats how things are [01:55] I need help with a computer with an intel onboard graphics card and an old monitor, the resolution is wrong and the computer can't detect the resolution [01:55] I need a program that I can use to set the possible resolutions [01:55] okay.... is this the right place to ask about repositories for apt? [01:55] lightdragon: sure [01:56] cool [01:56] Why does ubuntu bog down with High Disk I/O yet i have a dual core CPU?

[02:00] meoblast001: I think you need at least 2 gigs for Ubuntu [02:00] meoblast001 -> i tried that myself, but i discovered, it works in one laptop but not on others, so not sure why it does not launch on other laptop as usb live [02:00] is there an html irc chat i can put on a website? [02:00] pietrubens try search Ubuntu Pocket Guide and Reference [02:00] no I can fit ubuntu live on my 1gig flash drive fine [02:00] why, when i change /etc/network/interfaces to eth0 or wlan0 to dhcp, my connections are deactivates on network manager???? i neet to turn dhcp active, but when i do it in interfaces file, my network-anager dun let me connect.. could anybod help me??? [02:00] n8tuserf: i've done it in the past when it had to be done manually [02:00] n8tuserf: it's a pain though [02:01] meoblast001, Try redownloading the ubuntu Iso [02:01] UnderTaker: well.... i was previously trying Debian so maybe that's why [02:01] meoblast001: or try comparing md5's first [02:01] pietrubens have you been to a Linux User Group or LUG [02:01] UnderTaker: i should use 8.04 because it doesn't have the bugs i'm trying to avoid [02:01] <_Linuxx_> riegersn1 what put in the "rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr" in your fstab?

I quickly decided I preferred ubuntu over windows, and so now I want to get rid of windows... But I'm afraid if I remove windows, I'll lose ubuntu... can i remove windows safely? [02:02] _Linuxx_: thats how i've always had my fstab set up [02:02] I have to go also be back in a couple hours maybe [02:02] _Linuxx_: hasn't changed in over a year [02:02] why, when i change /etc/network/interfaces to eth0 or wlan0 to dhcp, my connections are deactivates on network manager???? i neet to turn dhcp active, but when i do it in interfaces file, my network-anager dun let me connect.. could anybod help me???

Someone here recommended that I try the alternate installation and I tried that. I was able to install ubuntu (without the GUI) but i'm getting the white screen when ubuntu tries to boot up into Gnome. is there a way I can just boot up without entering Gnome? So i can then install my video driver through the console? [02:07] pietrubeans no prob dude - get to a LUG group friendly people to ask any question to [02:07] cdenny: Do you wawnt it to rotate only when you have the mouse over a blank desktop, or also when you are over a window? [02:08] <_Linuxx_> riegersn1 what was it [02:08] <_Linuxx_> ?? [02:08] why, when i change /etc/network/interfaces to eth0 or wlan0 to dhcp, my connections are deactivates on network manager???? i neet to turn dhcp active, but when i do it in interfaces file, my network-anager dun let me connect.. could anybod help me???

[02:08] why, when i change /etc/network/interfaces to eth0 or wlan0 to dhcp, my connections are deactivates on network manager???? i neet to turn dhcp active, but when i do it in interfaces file, my network-anager dun let me connect.. could anybod help me??? [02:08] anyone know of any working alternatives to skype? [02:09] danbhfive, wich version of linux do u have?? [02:09] cdenny: now i'm not sure about that one [02:09] Appocc: AFAIK, if you configure the card in interfaces, nm will ignore the card. You have to leave it unconfigured, and do everything in nm [02:10] farlig: thanks for the advice... any suggestions on how to do this? Is it possible to create a partition for a copy of ubuntu and then copy everything back over to the fresh install of ubuntu so I don't lose the settings and packages etc? [02:10] Appocc: ubuntu? [02:10] I'm getting a white screen when trying to install ubuntu. Someone here recommended that I try the alternate installation and I tried that. I was able to install ubuntu (without the GUI) but i'm getting the white screen when ubuntu tries to boot up into Gnome. is there a way I can just boot up without entering Gnome?

[02:11] Appocc: Im looking for an alternative to skype, ie, a program that does video chat that isn't skype [02:11] cdenny: I think if you go to the Rotate Cube plugin and set "Initiate" to your middle mouse button, it should work [02:11] Gnea: How can find out if I have Perl and which version of Perl I have?

[02:17] whats the confusion? === cafuego is now known as buggerror [02:17] MrBarrett -> if you had allowed ubuntu installer the whole shebang, you can not recover that ntfs anymore [02:17] problem with nivida 8400 gs [02:17] Anytime I try to use jack as the capture device I get - cannot load the jack library (dlopen/dlsym error on libjac.so) [02:17] MrBarrett: do you have the livecd, if so, just boot that, and use gparted [02:17] this is an Acer laptop with AND Turion 64 duel core [02:17] yes i have the live cd and its installed on d [02:17] !who | MrBarrett [02:17] MrBarrett: As you can see, this is a large channel.

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:20] hi. Please thank fearful for me - was of great help. Problem fixed :) [02:20] <_Linuxx_> MrBarrett i would just reinstall ubuntu if you dont have it all the way installed. If you dont want to do that, then i would use "http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php" [02:20] damn...driving me crazy [02:20] hi folks [02:20] when I click the middle button to initiate rotating cube, it only initiates when my cursor is on the background [02:20] will ubuntu let me patition a vista compatible format [02:20] cdenny: maybe tryy #compiz [02:21] has ANYONE gotten recordmydesktop to work with sound????? [02:21] danbhfive: i am, only one guy is there [02:21] <_Linuxx_> MRBarrett no, just dont use that space. leave it unused. then go back into vista, and claim that unused space [02:21] I installed 9.04 alpha over the weekend, and had the same problem with it as I did with 8.10, that is, my webcam does not work. I had to reinstall linux-headers-* and then install the driver and it worked after that. [02:21] anyone using any other browser than firefox in ubuntu? if so, what? [02:22] farlig -> w3m [02:22] On top of that, once I got the driver working it was being used by v4l2, which did not work with skype or cheese, only camorama [02:22] My question is, who can I talk to to notify them that this is happening so it can be fixed? [02:22] <_Linuxx_> farlig i think opera is a good browser [02:22] mylisto: I had to try several screencast programs myself, till I found a working one: /msg ubottu !screencast [02:22] sorry, my program just exited, can anyone help me install apache server software so i can make a home server on ubuntu? its been a while since ive used this os so i dont even remember how to message 1 person on here [02:22] _Linuxx_ how do i find the ubuntu drive in vista to reformat it and start again? [02:22] w3m is not my thing.. i like pictures [02:23] ubottu !screencast [02:23] Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [02:23] Gnimsh: I can offer some suggestions [02:23] _Linuxx_, do you use opera? can you add extensions to it? [02:23] <_Linuxx_> MRBarrett do this.. run the ubuntu install again, but this time, only take up 10g. leave the rest of the drive blank [02:23] danbhfive: what one worked the best for you? [02:23] <_Linuxx_> MRBarrett then boot into vista...

[02:24] n8tuserf, don't tell me you actually use w3m.. [02:24] danbhfive, i'd appreciate that [02:24] mylisto: either recordmydekstoop or instanbul [02:24] danbhfive: I tried both [02:24] <_Linuxx_> MRBarrett right click "computer" hit "manage" then click "disk management" [02:24] can't get freaking audio to work [02:24] Gnimsh: does your webcam work in gstreamer-properties? [02:24] sorry, my program just exited, can anyone help me install apache server software so i can make a home server on ubuntu? its been a while since ive used this os so i dont even remember how to message 1 person on here [02:24] ya it did [02:24] _Linuxx_ ty i can dig it [02:24] try mint, ubuntu sucks [02:24] if I say shit in here...peope jump on me [02:24] <_Linuxx_> MRBarrett you will see your D drive, and see the free space, and make all the partitions you want === august_ is now known as Guest13171 [02:24] hulu is very choppy in ubuntu, is there a way to fix it?

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+) [02:26] danbhfive, that's what confuses me is that it works everywhere but skype and cheese, and I think it has something to do with v4l2 [02:26] ljl: he says nigger in the room...and nothing happens...I say s$%t or f%$k and I get warned [02:26] the scroll lock turns on with every other key press, how can i get this to stop?

Submitting your specs won't help with that. If you want your webcam to work OOTB, you should start by filing a bug on launchpad. I'm personally trying to track down a bug in cheese, and I'm trying to see if you have the same bug [02:35] ah i see [02:35] the scroll lock is messed up :( [02:35] just a moment I'm looking to find the forum post I followed for a fix [02:35] danbhfive: what should i do after i run tasksel install lamp-server? do i need to install anything else or just find the folder where the server is shared from?

For a test setup, you could just put files into /var/www and point your browser to localhost or 127.0.0.1 [02:37] danbhfive: ok ill do that, thanks [02:37] danbhfive, I'm trying to find the post with some cheese command [02:37] I think it was to run cheese in verbose mode [02:37] is that what the v does? [02:37] yeah [02:38] ok [02:38] danbhfive: what do i do if it says that i cannot put any files in that folder? [02:38] there was no output when I ran that command [02:38] !sudo | junior [02:38] junior: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

Tasksel will have an "ubuntu desktop" option, but that gets you the equivalent of installing the desktop version with all included apps, which doesn't fulfill your "lightest" requirement. [02:42] tonyyarusso: thx, yeah I'm seeing that right now :) [02:42] danbhfive, so basically I just have to be patient then huh?

[04:14] if you are not getting any signal at all most likely you are going to have to install the win drivers [04:14] hunus: http://appdb.winehq.org and lookup your application to see what's going on with it [04:14] Kraft_: yes, its always easy to use the repos [04:14] for bash, why then when I run a bash simple script the while or if get errors "while[1]: command not found" [04:14] hello, needs help on OpenLDAP on ubuntu [04:15] WalkTheLine: yes, that's the preffered security. because anyone that is not you would have to jump trough the same hoops :) [04:15] Kraft_: the build-essential set could come in use sometime in the future though [04:15] psh, I give up on this shit network card :( not like I need wireless for a desktop [04:15] Kraft_: you can search the repos for a program with "apt-cache search programname" [04:15] i was trying to do this s-video thing a few days ago and still haven't figured it out. had to restart my comp like 10 times with this nvidia x thing. i gave up. [04:15] Does anyone know of a good Desktop recorder that isn't a memory hog? :D [04:15] does linux have plug n play?? haha sorry but I am a Windows man [04:15] alrighty [04:15] is cedega better than wine?

[04:15] oh well sure then go ahead heh [04:16] It was for my laptop [04:16] me on the other hand its a PITA that I dont have i t [04:16] WalkTheLine: plug n play? [04:16] which runs Auditor >.> [04:16] bluepojo: roms are not legal so there are of course not in the repos [04:16] WalkTheLine: I assume you're talking about USB devices [04:16] oh. right. [04:16] fair enough. [04:16] i'm new i n linux....why it use many command to install or whatever [04:16] forgot that detail. [04:16] WalkTheLine, the impression i've gotten is that nvidia just makes crap ass drivers for linux. i've had two machines now with nvidia that had some sort of severe but i had to shuffle around with workaround walkthroughs [04:16] help help help on skype sound on intrepid [04:16] @ Bluepojo you just type sudo apt-get install zsnes [04:16] * bluepojo moves to canada [04:16] bluepojo: np [04:17] DIFH-iceroot: <3 [04:17] ika_ubuntu: It doesn't. You have to answer like six questions, and it installs. [04:17] Kraft_: have done so already. <3 thanks [04:17] Barridus...if you think nvidia is bad...just try ATI on linux :D [04:17] bluepojo: No known games have ever been released that target the SNES platform that have permissive enough distribution terms to allow placement in either the free or non-free repositories. [04:17] np :) === zeropoint is now known as Eric_Weatherby [04:17] bump, mbr help plz :) [04:17] segin: gotcha [04:17] off to the green dragon then [04:17] * bluepojo moves to the swiss alps [04:17] jimisrvrox, yeah for linux i think i'll stick with intel onboard video for now [04:18] anyway, my sound died one random day. [04:18] sure you can always do that :) [04:18] I don't know why. [04:18] save yourself probs with either nvidia or ati [04:18] it produces feint crackles [04:18] i installed the fglrx ati radeon proprietary driver but am still getting a white screen when trying to start gnome. I cant run the "Restricted Driver Manager" through the console. any suggestions? [04:18] it's not the hardware, as it still works when I boot into windows [04:18] yeah it's not like i game on the pc anymore (other than basic games) anyways [04:18] Does anyone know of a good Desktop recorder that isn't a memory hog? :D [04:18] my issue is with this lovely linksys usb nic...ndis wont do the trick or nothing! [04:18] bluepojo: The Pirate Bay is usually better if you go for BitTorrent. (note: I do not suggest you download illegal software torrents. There are plenty of legitimate torrents there as well, such as package complimation and distribution ISOs) [04:18] Barridus: must have been bad luck., I've been using linux for nearly 10 years now, and by and large, i have LESS trouble with nvidia drivers than any other 3d cards i've used. [04:19] segin: I use demonoid, usually. I'm not a big fan of public trackers. [04:19] what's the url of the site where I paste error code? [04:19] kc8pxy i hear that! even on windows, ati gave me problems... -.- [04:19] !pastebin | snachodog [04:19] snachodog: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:19] snachodog: try sprunge.us [04:19] grub only works when the windows xp cd is in, any suggestions :)? [04:19] thank you [04:20] bluepojo: You'll find public trackers to be exellent if you enable sorting based on available seeders.

[04:20] I'm having a very weird problem. whatever command I type I keep getting "bash: ls: command not found". That go for all the command Except for the "pwd" and "echo" any idea why its doing that? [04:20] kc8pxy, that is entirely possible. i just wish i could find a valid resource on linux hardware, it's hard googling for results as every chipset possible has at least 5 idiots that goofed up, spoiling search results [04:21] cam any one help me? [04:21] cj_sze1: why not? it's a kernel option [04:21] an orinoco card, i was told it was a good card that linux supports [04:21] bluepojo: 32 bit [04:21] i have it plugged in now, but no wireless connection [04:21] i installed the fglrx ati radeon proprietary driver but am still getting a white screen when trying to start gnome.

[04:23] kc8pxy: well you see I tried installing linux mint today, ended up braking grub, now I know that there is another mbr on my storage HD, don't know how to fix that. [04:23] cj_sze1: you mean handle more then 4gb ram? [04:23] i'll have to reboot back into ubuntu to look [04:23] are there any known issues with installing on a lenovo t60p? [04:24] regular install disk freezes on install. [04:24] DIFH-iceroot: alright I'll check boot priorities see if that helps [04:24] alt disk installs, and then freezes on boot. [04:24] cj_sze1: not sure, I've avoided 8.10 personally. the desktops I've installed are older hardware, and my servers run gentoo :) but the linux kernel can address up to 64GB ram, last i looked. [04:25] shifty-tl: so you have your box configured how? [04:25] not yet restarting now brb [04:26] lshw is showing a driver assigned to my wireless card, but i;m still not seeing any available networks. What do I need to do?

[04:28] cj_sze: but there is a selector in the menuconfig that switches between 4GB adressable, and 64GB [04:29] so... no idea which is a good place to start troubleshooting my sound? I have a feeling I need to reinstall my sound drivers, but I don't know exactly how to do that. [04:29] kc8pxy, its probably enabling PAE mode for 32bit os [04:30] anyone? anyone? bueller?

[04:53] Gentoon, everyone here is just users like you. there are no official ubuntu reps here [04:53] nate [04:53] hi [04:53] Gentoon: people will answer questions though.... well-formed questions. [04:53] shifty-tl : well.. command prompt .. do a reboot and boot to command prompt [04:53] kindofabuzz: Yes I know this, what is your point/ [04:53] who has a ps3 [04:54] doleyb: Obviously not. [04:54] ika_ubuntu: you can play many kinds of video, see medibuntu though. [04:54] Gentoon, i thought you were complaining about you not getting any help or something [04:54] Gentoon: trolling won't get it answered [04:54] oh well [04:54] kindofabuzz: I was, this is a support channel === tangerine_ is now known as mesohorny [04:54] who has a laptop runing ubuntu [04:54] hey all! i seem to be having a spontaneous problem. when i rebooted my computer today (after some automatic updates) my sound stopped working. does anyone know what i can do to try to fix this?

[04:55] Gentoon, ever thought that no one knows an answer to your problem. and remember, google is your buddie [04:55] Anna_111: I can't boot into anything, it tells me partition is not there. Except if I have the windows xp cd in tray, so I do fdisk /mbr in msdos? [04:55] i do to [04:55] joseph is my bfs name [04:55] kindofabuzz: Go away, it is a simple question and I did google, don't assume things. [04:55] but my broke [04:55] anyway, does anyone have any idea why my sound card stopped producing sound? there are no errors, just no sound out of speaker or headphone jack [04:55] maxagaz, they are two different things :) [04:55] do you have a ps3 [04:55] shifty-tl: sorry.. don't know what to say expect this.. do you have an external hdd case?

How can I rebuild the ubuntu 8.10 livecd with a different kernel (or just replace the existing one with my own)? [04:56] Gentoon: a well-formed question doesn't end with "is broken how can I fix it" [04:56] @segin it's not muted [04:56] doleyb: Either did my question now stfu [04:56] how many games do you own [04:56] ok so where are the user names? [04:56] 11 [04:56] @segin it happened right after i rebooted. i believe some updates were installed earlier today, but i don't know what they were [04:56] usser, actually, i understand the DNS, but why is LDAP useful ? [04:56] javamonger_: Have you conidered replacing the memory? [04:56] I already have the kernel with the BadRAM patch built [04:56] 12 [04:56] segin: not interested [04:56] cool [04:57] shifty-tl: If your data is really important I would suggest getting the hdd out, putting it in an external enclosure and connect to your current PC to transfer all the files [04:57] tits [04:57] ? [04:57] Gentoon, if you'd actuall explain your question instead of "I did sudo passwd and now the lil GUI that asks for root permissions when running things like symantic is broken, how can i fix it?' you might get better help [04:57] javamonger_: If the memory is bad, your best bet is to simply replace the defective modules. [04:57] tits? [04:57] why did he go? [04:57] Anna_111: yea, need to get one, untill then I can only boot with the windows cd XD [04:57] segin: not a sufficient solution. [04:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/132831/ [04:58] WalkTheLine: Get it working? [04:58] segin: you don't have to be afraid of bad memory if you understand it [04:58] kindofabuzz: Just because you don't understand things doesn't mean it wasn't explained well. Now STFU I don't want help from you, you don't know what you are talking about. [04:58] Made by hand, butyou get the drift :| [04:58] Gentoon, you probably enabled the root account didn't you? [04:58] segin: and no need to waste so much [04:58] Anna_111: weird but thats the only way I can get around it. put the win cd, wait till it times out then grub works [04:58] !list [04:58] shifty-tl.. do you have 2 physical drives C and D? [04:58] my wireless card is not picking up any networks. LSHW is showing a driver for it. What now? [04:58] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [04:58] maxagaz, ldap is for centralized authentication, per user restrictions etc. active directory on windows uses ldap [04:58] Gentoon, neither do you looks like. [04:58] I have 1024 x 600 resolution (7" subnotebook). Is it possible to have more resolutions? (Not the monitor but the displaying?) [04:58] So simple question, how do I replace the kernel in the ubuntu 8.10 livecd or build my own? [04:58] kindofabuzz: Obviously, thats what sudo passwd does, god. [04:58] I've got a failed drive I'm trying to recover data from. BIOS is detecting its label as 'BzBzBzBzBzBzBzBzBzBz BzBzBz' ;p. dmesg tells me it 'failed to IDENTIFY' so I have no access: http://paste.ubuntu.com/132829/ Can I manually specify this information somehow?

[04:59] Gentoon, yeah, and if you googled like you said you'd see that that can break things. [04:59] better? [04:59] anyone have issues with multiple keypresses in ubuntu while in microsoft VPC 2007? [04:59] kindofabuzz: I obviously already know it can break things, thats why i am here. Do you have a disability or something? [04:59] Anna_111: install linux again and it did that, I could try fixing it with Gparted but I'm scared that it'll erase my data [05:00] Gentoon, try disabling the root account, not that hard. usually when you mess something up the simple thing to do is to reverse it [05:00] cornbread: VPC isn't tested with linux...you really need to use virtualbox [05:00] Anna_111: * I installed... [05:00] Gentoon: drop the attitude. [05:00] Gentoon, i think you do, i just told you 3 times what to do [05:00] kinja-sheep: I don't know. I access my PC from a DEC VT100 serial dumb terminal; I don't know much of resolutions or the like :) [05:00] kindofabuzz: Thats what I am here to find out how to do, as I have already stated 6 times now, just don't talk please. [05:00] is there another chat room for more development-oriented questions? [05:00] Brack101, so virtualbox is tested and runs ubuntu fine? [05:00] what is "emacs"? [05:00] what is the problem? [05:00] segin: how do you manage with only four function keys? [05:00] lol === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [05:01] Anna_111: its alright, I [05:01] cornbread: yeah, works great...uses less resources too [05:01] Kraft_: emacs is an old, complex, powerful text editor program. If you have to ask what emacs is, you probably shouldn't use emacs [05:01] Brack101, awesome thanks! [05:01] well i just downloaded it for no reason. [05:01] Anna_111: its alright, I'll fix it later, thanks though, Good night :) [05:01] oh well i have 600 GB of space. [05:01] i also tinker a lot, screw everything up, then ask for help on the forums.......thrilling.....i know.........

[05:34] *glup [05:34] how do i install backports?

What's odd is that I'm behind a NAT, so I shouldn't be getting any inbound traffic that I didn't initiate [05:36] is there anyone who can help with optimizing starting scripts ? i've got some questions ... please help [05:36] arogers1, check the NAT gateway? [05:36] that could be it [05:37] jpbaa1: you'll be switching to the ath5k driver, which will be default in jaunty [05:37] I'll go take a look [05:37] thanks!

[05:37] yes [05:37] hey, my jaunty system refuses to install packages I want [05:38] not even bison will install [05:38] if you go into the audio settings does it show that a mic exists?

[05:38] not sure, that's weird === dolo is now known as Dolo [05:39] jpbaa1: sure, or use 'sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid' [05:39] well the game by default is oss but i had some problems so i switched everything to asla [05:39] but the mic no longer seems to work [05:39] not being recognized by the game [05:39] this is just a regular mic port mic right, not like a USB mic or anything? [05:39] hi, i tried to build build-essential with apt-get after changing my source.list to cd rom in /etc/apt/source.list, but when the cd is asked for, i hit enter and kit continues to want the cd. i can browse the cd and it is mounted. why is this happening, ubuntu 8.10 amd64 [05:40] ive tryed altering the game cfg with no luck its as thought the game no longer sees my mic [05:40] sprinkmeier, i'm currently using my laptop with ubuntu in two ways : at work for web development , at home - to see movies & etc, and at home i don't need apache or mysql starting during boot. Is there any way to make smth like 'booting profiles' ? [05:40] naw pluged in the red hole [05:40] sounds like you should switch back to oss when you play the gamee [05:40] or was it having problems in-game with it? [05:40] *game [05:40] well in oss i got crackling noises [05:41] reason i switched to asla [05:41] not sure than [05:41] *then. that's weird [05:41] xzirrow, runlevels?traditionally 5 = X, 3 = console, but there's no reason (other than sanity :-) why you can't change those. I'd put something in /etc/rc.local that detects you're at the office and then fires off apache etc. [05:41] not really my area of expertise : ( [05:41] also alsa gave me 5 second delays in sound [05:41] not asla [05:41] the first one oss [05:41] so i swithed to asla and everything runs great [05:41] but for some reason no mic [05:42] ive tested it with mic capture and the mic test in sounds [05:42] anyone know why building packages from cd with apt-get woudl result in the cd beign asked for all the time even when its inserted? [05:42] Hey all can anyone recommend a good media player for music that acts a lot like winamp with resizing and moving etc. I might end up using amarok but im not a huge fan of the way it looks [05:43] Fudge, does the CD mount at the expected mountpoint? [05:43] hi KillerOrca, [05:43] sprinkmeier, may be somehow i can set up some my vars at grub for boot ? and afterthat modify different /etc/init.d/scripts, to vary from my vars [05:43] @ gRunt xine or totem [05:43] sprinkmeier i dont hear the cd spin up [05:43] Kraft_, thanks will google em now and try and get some screenies [05:43] xzirrow, yeah... check /proc/cmdline in the rc scripts... nice one! [05:44] im trying to install build-essential gcc and other deps to get madwifi going sprinkmeier [05:44] Anyone able to help me out with a World of Warcraft related question? [05:44] тутурутутутутууууу [05:44] !! [05:44] Fudge, does apt expect the cd to be mounted at /media/cdrom or something? and does the CD mount to /media/Ubuntu8 or something else (i.e. using labels) [05:44] есть кто русский? [05:44] I am running apt-get upgrade && install, but I have 6 packages that won't upgrade, any ideas? [05:44] да [05:44] забавно [05:45] не то слово! ) [05:45] !ru | sergey, mrded [05:45] sergey, mrded: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [05:45] alguien sabe xk el irc-hispano no va [05:45] sprinkmeier thats possible, i didnt think of that, how would i cahnge where it wants it to be mounted. can i cahgne in the source.list cdrom to the label? [05:45] KillerOrca, do you need an "apt-get update" there somewhere? [05:45] sorry change i mean [05:45] ubottu ОК ! [05:45] Fudge, cheat... "sudo ln -s /media/whatever /media/cdrom" then run apt again [05:45] sprinkmeier, ah I meant update [05:46] hello [05:46] Hiya ROOT [05:46] ah yes thankyou sprinkmeier [05:46] :) [05:46] very much === root is now known as Guest59367 [05:46] sprinkmeier, ok i'll try - thanks for that '/proc/cmdline' stuff... but i still got _huge_ problem - in my work i intend to use VirtualBox, to run another systems, to see my sites in different browser. So VirtualBox using DKMS to make smth with vboxdrv& etc... [05:47] KillerOrca, "wont update" == some kind of error message? [05:47] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344007 help plz [05:47] Greetings: I was recently trying to uninstall OpenOffice 2.4 and upgrade to 3.0, however after I uninstalled, now my computer won't work. I get the ubuntu splash screen, and then just a black screen with a mouse curser. Right now I'm on live CD [05:47] new webmin is out for those of you that care =) [05:47] sprinkmeier, and it taking too long to make it. Have any ideas - how can i customize it ? DKMS especcialy ? [05:47] What is here makes? [05:48] sprinkmeier, yeah there is an error message, but it seems unrelated to the packages that won't update, I'll paste it [05:48] Okay one more question. I have this machine on dual boot, while linux is my main OS I keep all my media in a seperate NTFS parition so both my operating systems can read from it. Is there a way I can place a shortcut to a folder in that parition without having to always mount that drive if that makes any sense. [05:48] ok, got flood botted for my problem: Ubuntu splash will show on boot up, but then I just get a black screen with a mouse pointer [05:48] xzirrow, sorry, don't even know hwat DKMS is (virtualisation stuff?) I'd be tempted to park the cirtualisation stuff on a desktop PC (better disk bandwidth) and ssh/X into it while at the office. [05:48] E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [05:48] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [05:49] anyone explain that too me [05:49] i am root [05:49] Newbuntu: close synaptic, update managet, aptitude, anything that uses apt [05:49] sprinkmeier, http://paste.ubuntu.com/132852/ [05:49] nefrin: moust pointer? or text cursor? === lipsin__ is now known as lipsin [05:49] gRunt, use automount to mount on demand, or mangle fstab to mount at boot. recommend mounting NTFS ro [05:49] haha cheers shadow [05:49] Brack101 - mouse pointer on a black screen [05:50] sprinkmeier, DKMS - Dynamic Kernel Module blah-blah . But still thanks [05:50] nefrin: sounds like your xorg is borked [05:50] Brack101 - the changes I made prior to this was uninstalling OpenOffice 2.4 to install 3.0 [05:50] nefrin: right I saw that [05:50] sprinkmeier, is automount an app? Again if so how would I create an icon that links to a folder from that partition. I tried creating a new launcher to the folder in that parition but I must have stuffed up the path it didn't work/ [05:50] KillerOrca, "404 Not Found" old repo? [05:51] Brack101: can you help me fix my xorg? [05:51] sprinkmeier, yeah, but it looks unrelated to the non-upgrading packages [05:51] befrin, in the shape of an x? [05:51] nefrin: yeah...when you boot up push control alt f1 to get a command prompt [05:51] then I forget how to reconfigure xorg [05:51] shadow511: no, it's just a standard mouse pointer [05:52] gRunt, automount is a daemon that monitors directories. If the directory is accesses it mounts some resource, then unmounts it when the directory goes idle again. Used to be used to mount CD's etc. before HAL-udev magic came along. [05:52] Would I find that in synaptics or would I need to configure that from a source? [05:53] nefrin: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:53] Brack101: right now while I'm in Live CD? [05:53] KillerOrca, "The following packages have been kept back:" implies you're running options that don't want to update everything to the latest (last time I saw something like that was RHEL, didn't update kernel by default). Sorry, best guess.... [05:53] nefrin: no you boot to your HD then do control alt f1, login and then do that [05:53] nefrin, oh but then do /etc/init.d/gdm stop first [05:53] then reboot [05:54] ce_cari_cinta [05:54] Brack101 - so do the /etc/init.d/gdm stop now in Live CD, then reboot, do the cntl alt f1 and then the sudo command, correct? [05:55] gRunt, looks like it's called "autofs" now, so "sudp apt-get install autofs". I think that's the package I used to use but it's been a few years [05:55] I think I'm at a loss here [05:55] nefrin, no you do both on the hdd [05:55] KillerOrca: do a dist-upgrade [05:55] gRunt, a better soln for you might be to simply mount the NTFS partition at bootup, mangle /etc/fstab to do this [05:55] There is also gnome volume manager in synaptics that seems to do a similar thing will try autofs first cheers [05:55] okay [05:55] Brack101: rgr, anything else I should do before I reboot and attempt that? I'm gonna drop out of chat to do it [05:56] nefrin: check PM [05:56] having my fglrx driver enabled causes a resume from suspend to hang [05:56] sprinkmeier, could you elaborate a bit on the mangle /etc/fstab for me I've not used terminal a lot. [05:56] sprinkmeier, KillerOrca: kernel metapackages (linux-generic) change their dependencies (linux-image-[new-version]-generic instead of [oldversion]). upgrade only installs newer versions of pacakges you have installed (ups the versions), dist-upgrade will also bring in new depends if needed. That's why you need to use dist-upgrade to grab new kernels [05:56] and not having it enabled will allow the machine to resume, but the touchpad is unresponsive [05:56] I guess the touchpad issue was addressed in jaunty [05:57] tokeefe: that's hardly unprecedented [05:57] tokeefe: the video driver should have no effect on the touchpad [05:57] right [05:57] Flannel, that seems to have done it, thanks [05:57] when the video driver is enabled, the machine won't come back from suspend _at all_ [05:57] just black screen [05:58] no Ctrl+Alt+F4 [05:58] gRunt, /etc/fstab is a list of resources (and mountpoints) that you wnat the kernel to know about and, optionally, to mount on boot. /etc/mtab contains the currently mounted resources in a format that you can just about cut-and-paste into fstab. I sufggest you mount the NTFS partition, then check mtab and copy the appropriate line into fstab (doing backups all the way of couorse :-) [05:58] have to hard shutdown/reboot [05:58] I have managed to lock my default username out of users-admin. I can access it using su root. Any ideas how to allow my default username back into users-admin to allow changes? [05:58] thanks sprinkmeier will give it a look now [05:58] however, when the video driver is not enabled, the machine will resume.... but this reveals yet another problem, that is, the touchpad doesn't work === bizkit_ is now known as bizkit [05:59] So the ATI driver affects the machine from coming back from resume [05:59] smikec, sounds like the default user has been kicked out of the adm group (membership of this group is used by sudo to allow superuser access). [06:00] is there anyway to set one workspace different then the other 3 like no icons or menu bars [06:00] smikec, "sudo usermod -aG adm USERNAME" adds USERNAME back into the adm group. log out of X and log in again for changes to take effect. [06:01] tokeefe: ah, I see; the ATI driver suspend problem is pretty much unfixable since the driver is proprietary [06:01] sprinkmeier, would it be likely to be the last line in my mtab....that being /dev/sda4 /media/disk fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0 [06:01] yayyyy [06:01] smikec, (just checked sudoers... the correct group name is "admin", not "adm". not sure what the latter is for) [06:02] unfixable!!!! [06:02] sprinkmeier, smikec: it's not adm, it's admin. And a better way to do it is `adduser user admin` [06:02] new question then, anyone currently using ushare and know what the new repos are? [06:02] I have rechecked "administer the system" under user privileges and my username is checked under the admin group [06:03] is there a list of repo's that are not on the sources list that should be to make ubuntu that much more awesome [06:03] gRunt, yeah... but it's using FUSE rather then NTFS directly. try something like "/dev/sda4 /media/shared_ntfs ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46,ro 0 1" [06:03] L3dPlatedLinux: well there's medibuntu.. [06:03] thanks sprinkmeier ill try it now and reboot....wish me luck :) [06:04] can anyone tell me why i the sound on VLC player and MPlayer stopped working? the rest of the sounds work.. and so does the default movie player (but that player doesnt work well) [06:04] gRunt, no need to reboot. run "sudo mount -a" to mount all things that are suppsoed to be auto-mounted. [06:04] It is still not working, when I run admin-users in the terminal I get some critical errors "Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated" [06:04] ok cool well I cant save the fstab I guess I need to change the permissions first :s [06:04] smikec, does "id" tell you you're in the group now? [06:05] gRunt, don't change the permissions. use sudo to edit it: "sudo name /etc/fstab" [06:05] gRunt, oops: "sudo nano /etc/fstab" [06:05] yeah as I hit enter i realised i didnt sudo it [06:06] Brack101: reconfigure xserver-xorg did not solve my issue, still get the black screen with mouse pointer [06:06] oh alright [06:06] no idea [06:07] groups=4(adm),20(dialout),21(fax),24(cdrom),26(tape),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),104(scanner),106(fuse),108(lpadmin),114(netdev),123(admin),124(sambashare) [06:07] Brack101: duh, just remebered that I have a backup of my xorg.conf file saved to the hard drive [06:08] well that's probly not gonna help [06:08] sprinkmeier, when I try to unmount the volume to test sudo mount -a it tells me the volume isnt mounted even though it is... [06:08] since reconfig should have fixed your xorg.conf [06:08] but try it [06:08] smikec, that's a healthy list of groups.... are you running "sudo admin-users"? (note that most gtk warnings are harmless and might be just noise) [06:08] Brack101: ok, guess that idea is borked [06:08] nefrin: no try it out [06:09] nefrin: you're on the live cd, might as well [06:09] gRunt, might be a FUSE artefact.... how are you unmounting? "sudo umount /media/mountpoint" usually works for me [06:09] Brack101: how do I do it from Live CD? [06:09] I was just doing it via the desktop sprinkmeier will try console [06:09] gRunt, if you're using the same directory mountpoint in fstab that you've currently got mounted then unmount is likely to get confused. comment out the new line in fstab, then try unmounting again. [06:10] nefrin: restore your xorg.conf backup [06:10] horley: [06:10] Okies, also when I run that command I get [06:10] scott@linuxbox:~$ sudo mount -a [06:10] fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/shared_ntfs: No such file or directory [06:10] scott@linuxbox:~$ [06:10] gRunt, (unmount will see ntfs being used in fstab when the thing is currently FUSE mounted.... or somesuch) [06:10] gRunt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:10] gRunt, need to create /media/shared_ntfs (unlike magic HAL mounts the directory does not get created for you) [06:10] sprinkmeier, sudo opens users-admin but I can not change anything or unlock root like I was able to do just post install, before I fiddled with the permissions. [06:11] Anyone can help pls.. my title bar disappeared in desktop [06:11] smikec: how the hell did you do that? [06:11] even minimize,maximize options in a window [06:11] sophia, what do you mean by title bar? [06:12] smikec, "sudo users-admin" shouldn't need to be unlocked, it should already be running with root priv. out of ideas for the moment.... [06:12] sophia: Do also mean the applications, places, and systems? [06:12] kohlrak: unchecked "Administer the system" under all users except root user [06:12] How do I create /media/shared_ntfs I mean I know I can make a folder in the media directory but I don't see how that works.... [06:12] smikec: it might be possible to login to root using grub =p [06:12] gRunt: sudo mkdir /media/shared_ntfs [06:12] =/ [06:13] kohlrak: I think sophia means the window decorations [06:13] killer0rca: In which there will the all menu options like shutdown...firefox...etc [06:13] well that makes sense rww I just dont see how that then links to my parition but ill give it a go [06:13] thanks for your help sprinkmeier [06:13] sophia, so the top panel? [06:13] gRunt: it doesn't unless you modify fstab to make it (or use mount to do it) [06:13] killer0rca: ya [06:13] gRunt, /etc/fstab provides the link [06:13] kohlrak: I can login to root only via terminal [06:14] killer0rca: how to get it back? [06:14] sophia, well what was the last thing you did before it went away? [06:14] Yep it just worked I didnt have the partition mounted but already had the fstab uncommented just went back to my desktop and its there thanks! Anyway to hide the drive on the desktop though I'm not interested in the drive itself only in the folders I am linking instead. [06:14] killer0rca: typed compiz in terminal [06:15] sophia: using compiz? [06:15] yup that will do it. ;) [06:15] smikec, so you mean to tell me that when you turn it off you cannot get into root when you turn it back on, that the debug menu or whatever it's called (i foget off hand) does not show up or does not work? [06:15] how do i update my apt-sources via comamnd line? [06:15] smikec, anything in /var/log/messages? (wild thought: something like /etc/sudoers file permissions got whacked and the system is refusing to use it, hence admin group membership isn't working) [06:15] !permissions [06:15] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [06:16] sophia: type: sudo killall compiz [06:16] how to get it back now? [06:16] sophia, if your card isn't up to snuff compiz won't function right, so I would try disabling it, call up a terminal with alt-f2, I beleive [06:16] sophia: it might not work entirely, but the appearances manager's last tab could also fix it === dopplerdeffect is now known as doppler|away [06:16] sophia: what video card do you have? [06:17] kohlrak: Havent tried any debug menu, just the graphical logon doesnt work [06:17] killer0rca: It says no process to kill [06:17] kohlrak: there is _no_ reason to use sudo to kill compiz [06:17] smikec: ok... So, if you can login with a terminal, have you tried visudo? [06:18] kohlrak: secondly, compiz is a shell script; compiz.real is the real binary [06:18] crdlb: really? i never bothered to check what user starts it [06:18] my computer at home just restarted.. i can't connect using tightvnc right now.. how do i force login onto the desktop, given i have terminal access only? [06:18] sophia, hmm, have you just tried rebooting? [06:18] killer0rca: tried but no use [06:19] onats1: i really don't think you can... If you can, it's proably really hacky and dangerous. XD [06:19] sophia: go to system > preferences > appearance > visual effects [06:19] sophia: set it to NOne [06:20] How can I forward sound to another computer? [06:21] ScottG489: with cable or software / [06:21] kohlrak: no I haven't tried visudo, im checking the messages log now [06:21] crdlb: No preference option here [06:21] SunnyDP: What do you mean? [06:21] Hey sprinkmeier just had to log in and out as I was testing something seems now when I try and access /media/shared_ntfs it says I can't view the contents of the file as I don't have permission, can I simply chmod -r the folder? [06:21] sophia, have you also tried clicking on the desktop to add a panel in manually? [06:21] kholrak, so that means i cant vnc to home once its restarted?:( [06:22] sophia: do you see System? [06:22] smikec: basically, visudo (if that's the command, i can't remember) opens the file that has lists the permissions for "sudo access" [06:22] ScottG489: wforward sound to 2nd PC with cable or software ? [06:22] crdlb: System option is there when i right click on desktop [06:23] sprinkmeir: can't seem to find anything that looks fishy in the log [06:23] gRunt, you have to mess with the mount options, they overrise the directory permissions. the "gid=46" was supposed to set the group to something you belong to, check that it does [06:23] onats1: not really... If you have your computer auto login to a user account you can simply login using a terminal and start the vnc daemon, but i don't think you can force login from terminal [06:23] sophia: are you using gnome? [06:23] crdlb: yes [06:23] SunnyDP: What do you mean by cable? [06:23] sophia: then there shouldn't be a 'system' in the desktop right click menu [06:23] kohlrak, well i can ssh to my PC now.. [06:24] smikec, out of ideas again then.... [06:24] is that any help? [06:24] sophia: there should, however, be a 'change desktop background' item, which we can use. so if you see that, click on it [06:24] can I change the gid to something like 100 which is users sprinkmeier ? [06:24] onats1: only if a user is already logged in graphically === onats1 is now known as onats [06:24] gRunt, yes. [06:25] ScottG489: RCA cables, old school style\ [06:25] onats, are you using Putty to ssh in?\ [06:25] KillerOrca, yes [06:25] onats: you COULD try startx, but then there's alot more you'd have to do, and i'm not sure you can do it all from the terminal [06:25] kohlrak, i'm sure at home on screen, its already displaying the login screen [06:25] root ALL=(ALL) ALL [06:25] ScottG489, IIRC X has the ability to forward sound, but everyone just bypasses it to get to /dev/alsa-oss-pulse-whatever_were_using_this_week. streaming audio? [06:26] SunnyDP: Still dont know what RCA cables are :/ [06:26] crdlb: i got top menu by typing xfce4-panel, But in terminal i m not getting maximize and min option [06:26] onats: that's true... basically... you gotta get past the login screen first then the rest is easy =p [06:26] onats, so you can ssh in type in your login name and password and login? [06:26] sophia: xfce4 is not gnome [06:26] sprinkmeier, that works but that folder is empty, before when I was manually mounting it it had all my music in it......I deleted the link to it on my desktop but that is all, does the parition normally get wiped or is that because the link was established after I copied all the files over to it? [06:26] KillerOrca, yes [06:26] smikec: is that how it was when you opened it up? [06:26] Brack101: still didn't work, I'm up on a laptop now, but the computer with the problem still has the problem [06:26] onats, then you get your prompt at the terminal? [06:26] sophia: what video card do you have? [06:26] sprinkmeier: Well im using NX rootless to send single windows to my laptop from my desktop. I tried enableing multimedia support but the sound still plays on my desktop [06:26] kohlrak: yes [06:26] KillerOrca, yes [06:27] gRunt, did you run "sudo mount -a"? what does "mount" and "df" say? [06:27] nefrin well at least we know it's not x11 :) [06:27] Brack101: any other ideas? [06:27] ScottG489: red, black, yellow ? [06:27] smikec: that's weird... that should mean sudo should work for ALL users [06:27] hey, does anyone know of any motion detection software? [06:27] ScottG489, BT headphones :-) [06:27] nefrin: check syslog, see what's giving you errors at boot time [06:27] i want my webcam to take a picture if it detects motion and send it to an email addy === Vincent is now known as Guest94518 [06:28] glick, are you using webcam? [06:28] crdlb: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [06:28] yes onats [06:28] nefrin: control alt f1, login sudo nano /var/log/syslog [06:28] onats, this might help http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/6 [06:28] glick: the package is called motion [06:28] smikec: i'm gonna check something quick [06:28] glick, try zoneminder. i haven't completey set it up though [06:28] thanks KillerOrca [06:28] kohlrak: sudo is working for users-admin, except a lot is grayed out versus using su root to gain access to it [06:28] sprinkmeier, http://pastebin.com/d2237db0b thats the result of mount and df [06:29] sophia: open a terminal and run 'gtk-window-decorator --replace &' [06:29] Brack101: 5333 lines, am I looking for anything in particular? [06:29] hmm thanks doleyb and onats [06:29] anybody know how to generate kernel dumps with kdump? [06:29] SunnyDP: Oh, no over the net [06:29] smikec: that's really odd... That means the permissions of the sudoers themselves is what's broken [06:29] sprinkmeier: whats that? [06:29] ScottG489: ahh ok, not too sure [06:30] gRunt, line 16, still seems to be mounted using FUSE rather than the line out of fstab. [06:30] :s [06:30] nefrin: yeah most recent boot time, if you forgot, make a note of it when you reboot [06:30] ah wait [06:30] Scott_Dude25, blue-tooth headphones [06:30] kolrak: it was a fresh install tonight, maybe reinstalling is the easier fix [06:30] nefrin: particularly around the time your problem happens [06:30] smikec: i misread your file. [06:30] does anyone know how to get the wireless card to start up on boot? i would also need to keep the same ip address somehow (from my router) [06:30] smikec: you know how to use vim, right? [06:31] no [06:31] those tools all look very complex, isnt there anything simpler [06:31] going to bed [06:31] night [06:31] for a simple single webcam? [06:31] hi, i have a question about a particular modprobe at startup... do I put that in init.d? thx in advance [06:31] KillerOrca, this still requires me to administer via GUI, which i dont have access to right now [06:31] smikec: it's a sort of gedit that runs in the terminal [06:31] ok [06:31] sprinkmeier, this is the dump of my /etc/fstab to make sure I put it all in correctly http://pastebin.com/d2ebe32e9 [06:31] horley, the second is easy... assign a static IP address, or tell your router to assign a static DHCP lease. === pvtpickle is now known as pmguy [06:32] onats, this should allow you to get in via GUI after you follow it, all you have to figure out how to do GUI-less is install x11vnc [06:32] smikec: hit i, then hit the down arrow until you're on a blank line, if that doesn't work (last line has text), move to the end of that line and hit enter [06:32] Has anyone been having stability issues lately? I updated my Intrepid and when I did, programs have started randomly crashing, disappearing, etc. Sometimes my computer just locks ups for fun. What gives? [06:32] smikec: then enter the following line: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL [06:32] Brack101: dhcdbd message handler not found under/&? [06:33] gRunt, OK... so "sudo umount /dedia/shared_ntfs" verify that it's gone, then "sudo mount -a" and it should be back, but this time without the FUSE stuff (OK, I'm running 8.04 and I don't have the FUSE stuff on my automatically-mounted NTFS partition. I guess it's possible that 8.10 is different....) [06:33] kohlrak: still in visudo [06:33] also how to add a script to auto-startup [06:33] chronos: no i am fine [06:33] smikec: ok, now hit escape, then !wq then hit enter === mehteenager is now known as MrObvious [06:33] smikec: did visudo quit or did it give you an error message? [06:33] chronos: did u updated to jaunty lately [06:33] Is there any real reason for me to keep powernowd , for it's CPU scaling on my desktop? It slowed me down by tons. [06:34] noren: No, i just updated packages in Intrepid. [06:34] BigMoopies: I have also noticed a counterproductive result from powernowd (and also guidance-power-manager) [06:34] Like right then, my audio player just died. No error message or anything. Just dropped away [06:34] chronos: did u had the prerealease option checked [06:34] smikec, you can run "sudo env EDITOR=nano visudo" to use nano instead of vi when editing sudoers. friendlier... [06:34] doleyb, A counter who ? [06:35] sorry irc keeps resetting me.. does anyone know how to get the wireless card to start up on boot? i would also need to keep the same ip address somehow (from my router) [06:35] BigMoopies: counter-productive. Meaning that using it was worse than not using it. [06:35] Sure didn't noren I know better than alphas and betas [06:36] doleyb, That's what I thought myself. I wish I had known what was causing my system to run like WindowsXP after 5 months of it being installed before I looked up "powernowd" [06:36] sprinkmeier, that is what I did last time, just to make sure I unmounted then ran a mount and df command I think it looks ok did you just want to verify line 16 still mentions fuse thats all. [06:36] http://pastebin.com/d5afd6c98 [06:36] horley, the second is easy... assign a static IP address, or tell your router to assign a static DHCP lease. the first part probably requires mangling /etc/network/interfaces [06:36] doleyb, But besides that, There is no real reason for me to keep it? No over heating? blah blah ? [06:36] BigMoopies: well I'm on a laptop so its kinda different. And the only time it makes problem is flash movies on web. [06:37] BigMoopies: you can run lmsensors and check if heating seems to be a problem, but probably it won't be [06:37] kohlraek: ran vim, typed i for insert, entered line stated, esc, !wq, enter, output=shell returned 127 [06:37] smikec: any accompanying text or just 127? [06:37] gRunt, NTFS seems to be gone. try the "sudo mount -a" now to see it it comes back (and what it looks like) [06:38] doleyb, I installed lm-sensor and all, however is there anything for a graphic to use it? Maybe gkrealm ? [06:38] sprinkmeier, yeah just tried it comes back BUT i still don't have permission to view it, which is stupid group 100 is users and I ticked both my account and root to be members just to be safe... [06:38] Is there a log file I can check to see why programs just die? [06:38] sprinkmeier: for some reason my /etc/network/interfaces is pretty small compared to examples ive seen on the web, but i think you are right.. i will have to look into the static DHCP lease but it makes sense.. [06:38] graphic = GUI [06:38] BigMoopies: yes there are many graphical things to display it, including kgrellem [06:38] is 70 Gb sufficient for the root of Ubuntu [06:38] BigMoopies: or gkrellem or whatever it's called [06:38] that said sprinkmeier its been mounted in fuse again.. [06:38] i have 160 for downloads [06:39] Ndshacker: that's bigger than my HDD [06:39] Ndshacker: More than enough, 10 gig would be enough basically [06:39] gRunt, did you log out and in again? without that the changed group membership will not take effect. [06:39] mmk [06:39] doleyb, OK. This would be as good as using "SpeedFan" in Windows ? [06:39] Ndshacker: even 1 gig can be enough [06:39] Ndshacker: assuming you mean GB not Gb [06:39] Brack101: not seeing anything like errors or warnings except the dhcdbd thing [06:39] Hey, I'm trying to install grub from the ubuntu live cd and when I type "grub> find /boot/grub/stage1" I get this error "Error 15: File not found" [06:39] ahh no I didnt brb [06:39] Er yeah [06:39] The bigger one :) [06:39] even 70 gigbits would be enough I think [06:39] halpmai: trying doing just find /grub/stage1 [06:40] about 9.5 Gigabytes :p [06:40] kohlrak: "shell returned 127" thats it [06:40] horley, ....interfaces is usually tiny, basically "do everything automagically (via DHCP), get passwords from the keyring if/when needed". Automatically starting wireless usually requires a WEP/WPA key, assigning static IP addresses means more lines.... [06:40] smikec: very unusual error... looking it up [06:40] * chronos kicks his computer as his dice game dies [06:40] nefrin, Same error. [06:41] doleyb, I actually don't see heat/fans on it [06:41] (gkrellm) [06:41] sprinkmeier: thanks for the help! i think i can figure it out.. [06:41] sprinkmeier, it didnt even mount upon logging in this time [06:41] smikec: are you still in visudo or did it leave? [06:41] hi I have just installed a fresh copy of ubuntu 8.10 - which worked seemlessly and then ISPconfig - I am now having a problem with bind9 failing on boot and am unsure how to fix this problem, here is a snippet of my syslog http://paste.ubuntu.com/132863/ [06:41] kohlrak: that line %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL [06:41] is in visudo [06:42] halpmai: I had that error awhile ago, meant that my grub files had be reconfigured and moved too far down the HDD to be read by the bios and I needed to reinstall and setup proper partitions. Beyond doing that, I'm at a loss [06:42] smikec: is that line saved though? so that you see it again if you exited and reentered visudo? [06:42] That said sprinkmeier sudo mount -a worked and permissions are fine, it just didn't auto mount for some reason, or will it only mount after a reboot and not a login/out [06:42] kohlrak: it has always been in visudo [06:43] gRunt, correct. bootup runs "mount -a" which examines fstab. reboot to confirm, but it should work now. [06:43] smikec: then just exit visudo and try to do your thing and tell me if you sitll have problems [06:44] Thanks, lastly how do I then make a link (or yes being the windows newb I still am) a shortcut to a folder in that file, is it as simple as making a launcher that points to /media/shared_ntfs/foldername? [06:44] sprinkmeier, was able to confirm myself thanks for all the help! === aprilhare_ is now known as aprilhare [06:45] gRunt, create a soft-link and drag it onto the toolbar. just checked it, works. [06:45] kohlrak: still says no access from the gui [06:45] smikec: i'm curious... you can use su root from a GUI terminal app, right? [06:45] gRunt, alternatively... make it one of the "places" nautilus uses, that way it pops up in open/close/save dialogues [06:45] does anyone use cone the email client ? [06:46] Well, my helper seems to have left, can anyone else help? Getting a black screen after the ubuntu splash with a mouse pointer, no loading up of GNOME [06:46] kohlrak: no access from gui, partial access from gui terminal using sudo, full access using gui terminal using su root [06:46] nefrin: sounds like compiz =p Using an ATI? If so, probably compiz [06:46] nefrin: maybe drop to single user and see what's wrong [06:46] dont have nautilus but it has popped up a lot in tutorials etc ive seen on the net so will get it now and check it out, thanks again sprinkmeier [06:46] does anyone in here use cone the email client ? [06:47] kohlrak: I have NVIDIA, not using compiz [06:47] smikec: you're unable to use sudo at all? [06:47] fool_ - drop to single user? [06:47] Bah still seems I dont have write permissions to the folder.... [06:47] smikec: you just may be able to run the same manager that you messed with all the permissions after su root, since a GUI program run after that should have the same permissions as root [06:48] nefrin: right after reboot , when it says press escape to get to grub menu, press escape, choose recovery option [06:48] hi guys, anyone could hint me with DRM stuff? I had OpenGL working fine under GNOME until I changed the screen settings so I could also use my VGA connector with a beamer. After this I can not use DRI any more. I have been looking around at the web and found that drm does not seem to load any more on my laptop (dmesg | grep drm gives nothing) where should I start? [06:48] smikec: what program exactly did you use anyway? [06:48] ravn1: drm is not dri [06:48] fool_ : have done the recovery option, and tried all the options to fix xserver and packages, still getting the same result [06:48] kohlrak: I have tried, but can't seem to get it back, all privileges are check in users-admin [06:49] fool_: ok, I was reading this page http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriTroubleshooting where these things seem to go hand in hand [06:49] nefrin: dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver ? [06:49] smikec: using the same program that you used to mess it up? [06:49] ravn1: try dmesg |grep dri [06:49] kohlrak: yes only have I used users-admin aka "users and groups" in the gui [06:49] fool_ : have done that too, as well as copied over my xorg.cong_backup file to the orginal xorg.conf, again no soap [06:49] I need alot of help :( [06:50] Something went wrong ): [06:50] nefrin: paste the syslog somewhere please [06:50] !permissions [06:50] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [06:50] fool_ : wait one, gonna have to boot up that computer on live CD [06:50] would somebody using hardy please install cone with aptitude ? [06:50] kohlrak: could this be a problem (users-admin:14823): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '14823' [06:51] crdlb: I cannot open setting manager-> window Manger Tweaks.. It shows error message. [06:51] is anyone really exp with Ubuntu? [06:51] smikec: if you run the program as root and the options don't work, and if your sudoers file doesn't work (visudo), then you might have what i call a "permissions tree problem" [06:51] fool_: this gives nothing [06:51] nefrin: uhm that's that gonna help you figure out whats wrong [06:51] smikec: how are you running users-admin? [06:51] sophia: that's simply because you're not using xfwm4 anymore [06:51] !ask | yanz [06:51] yanz: 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. :-) [06:52] smikec: basically, it's like folder permissions. You have permissions to a folder, but not allthe sub folders, then you gotta go around and find out how the hell to give yourself permissions to all the sub folders... [06:52] yanz→ there are 1300 persons here, don't expect anyone to answer to vague questions directed to no one in particular [06:52] ravn1: copy content of /var/log/syslog and paste somewhere [06:52] fool_ : I know, but that computer was sitting at a black screen, I'm booting it up into live CD so I can paste the syslog, otherwise I won't be able to paste it anywhere [06:52] Can anyone give me the console command for full read and write access to a folder. I remember its something like chmod -r 666 /folderpath isnt it? [06:52] Eh, Ok.. Well I updated my Ubuntu Last night with the update manager, now firefox won't work, mercury won't work, aMsn won't work, everything is laggy, theres alot of errors.. [06:52] crdlb: now how can i resolve my problem? any idea? [06:52] sophia: if you want to stop using compiz, install the fusion-icon package, then run it; you'll then have a menu in your tray to switch between them [06:52] smikec: you said it's a fresh install, so if not too much time went into getting it to this point, perhaps starting over again would be the easier solution.. [06:53] prince_jammys: under the gui "users and group" permission denied", through terminal sudo users-admin, all possible changes are grayed out, su root users-admin full access [06:53] All the other browsers I download and msn clients also don't work [06:53] :S [06:53] nefrin: oh, well and where's the log ? [06:53] smikec: gksudo users-admin [06:53] kohlrak: im about to give up for the night [06:53] does anyone in here run hardy ? [06:53] crdlb: from synaptic manager? === _mcstinky is now known as mcstinky [06:53] sophia: sure, any package manager works === sergey is now known as webveter [06:54] ... [06:54] prince_jammys: same result as using the terminal [06:55] Can anyone give me the console command for full read and write access to a folder. I remember its something like chmod -r 666 /folderpath isnt it? [06:55] smikec: this is the only app that gives you a problem with sudo? are you able to sudo normally otherwise? [06:55] smikec: it's as if all your users left their user groups... [06:55] Gess. Good help. I'm out [06:56] hellp [06:56] when I try playing a sound, all I hear is crackles from speakers. wanna help me fix it? [06:56] prince_jammys: havent tried, any suggestions [06:56] smikec: sudo ls [06:56] anything [06:56] well nvm [06:56] can anyone just please install cone and tell me whether libfam0 is installed with it ? === giuseppe is now known as Guest79510 [06:57] fool_ : can't get my syslog up while I'm in LiveCD, and I can paste it when I bring it up on the command prompt [06:57] fool_ it should be if necessary.. if not, just install it XD [06:57] crdlb: still wont work [06:57] kohlrak: problem is, i get it installed on one machine and not on another [06:57] sophia: what didn't? did you launch fusion-icon? [06:57] fool_ using the package system? [06:58] kohlrak: so if you have time please do aptitude install cone and tell me what happen [06:58] fool_: http://pastebin.com/m48ed14d2 [06:58] kohlrak: yes [06:58] hello all how can i make avast do a virus scan over a network from ubuntu to windblows? [06:58] fool_: i'm actually on windows right now to type a report... Taking a brake from it in here. XD [06:58] prince_jammys: Desktop, Documents, Pictures... [06:58] i cloned the hardrive on my laptop with dd and put the clone image on a external disk, and restored it on another laptop which ive now booted up, how do i refresh what modules and drivers ubuntu should load on boot because it doesnt find the network interface? [06:59] crdlb: i typed fusion-icon in terminal after installing. [06:59] kohlrak: libfam0 is installed in a hardy machine, which is what it should be, and not installed on a hardy and gutsy machine, and it's driving me nuts [06:59] kohlrak: is it normal for each user to have his/her own group [06:59] fool_ have you checked for any bug reports on the package? Very unusual for a package to not install necessary files. [06:59] sophia: do you see the icon the tray? right click on it and select window manager > xfwm4 [06:59] crdlb: i gives" KeyError: 'decoration'" [07:00] smikec: not sure... been a while since i checked, though it doesn't sound entirely right... [07:00] smikec: the notable thing about the output of your `id' command is that there's no `user' group. [07:00] when I try playing a sound, all I hear is crackles from speakers. wanna help me fix it? [07:00] sophia: argh, sudo apt-get install compiz [07:00] smikec: it wouldn't make sense to have user groups if every user was his own group, would it? XD [07:00] sophia: when that's done, run fusion-icon again [07:01] kohlrak: exactly, but somehow they were generated [07:01] ravn1: damn that's a lot of io error [07:01] crdlb: ok [07:02] smikec: hm...... might've happened when you took away their root privileges... === EdgeX-[A] is now known as EdgeX- [07:02] smikec: i can't imagin it just making a "removed from root privileges" group XD [07:02] ravn1: is that the end of it ? [07:02] fool_: yes [07:03] I just tried to do modprobe drm wich loaded w.o. errors... [07:03] fool_ Either way though, install the libfam0 package and if it works file a bug report [07:03] smikec: it's normal for all human users to have their own group [07:03] kohlrak: well im going to try and logout and login again [07:03] kohlrak: problem is i don't know whether i should installed it or not [07:04] smikec: go further and try rebooting [07:04] if that doesnt work then im calling it quits for the night [07:04] fool_: I will try to reboot the x-server now and see what happens [07:04] that's why i'm asking someone else to install it to see what happen [07:04] thanks for everyones help [07:04] smikec: do you get output from this: getent group|grep user [07:04] fool_ install and if it works, keep it, if it doesn't, remove it again XD [07:04] What package is the file /dev/dsp found in? I seem to be missing it. [07:05] I need to upgrade my graphics driver, anyone know how I go about doing this? [07:05] kohlrak: that's the wrong way to go [07:05] :/ [07:05] though it sounds very pratical [07:05] lol [07:05] fool_ probably lots more that you don't need if that's what you're worried about... that's why they gave us apt-get autoremove [07:06] kohlrak: well it does leave a daemon sitting in the box so that what's spook me to begin with [07:07] fool_ weird... The daemon might not be open to the public though, as in it might only be on a loopback connection... [07:07] sprinkmeier, I just rebooted and all works fine for mounting, though I don't seem to have write permissions is there a quick and easy fix for that? [07:07] fool_ though if you're on a private network, just don't open the port on your firewall and it shouldn't cause any problems. Since it's a daemon it shouldn't take any cycles until something connects to it [07:09] fool_ there's also the possibility that the computers are using differerent update servers, which can happen and that'll cause different versions with different requirements [07:09] Can anyone help me with making a mounted ntfs folder have write access please? [07:09] fool_: however, to have a daemon library is a really unusual difference in requirements o.O [07:09] kohlrak: checked that, all same [07:10] well, i'm not surprised with the gutsy [07:10] but both hardies are the same version of hardy? [07:10] crdlb: Thanks a lot ..it worked as expected... Thank you... [07:11] kohlrak: yes [07:11] Can anyone help me with making a mounted ntfs folder have write access please? [07:11] fool_ well does the program work without the creepy daemon lib? [07:12] kohlrak: i went ahead and try insatll libfam0, and guess what, there was a conflict with gamin [07:12] Gamin has been designed as a drop-in replacement for FAM with security and [07:12] maintainability in mind and can use Linux's advanced inotify service when available. [07:12] !ntfs | grub_booter [07:12] grub_booter: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [07:12] ls [07:12] whoops [07:12] !ntfs | gRunt [07:12] gRunt: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [07:12] !ntfs-3g | gRunt [07:12] gRunt: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [07:13] !NTFS-3g [07:13] fool_ then i suggest gamin instead if it is more secure and maintainable and the program works XD [07:13] fool_ i would also suggest switching the other computer to use gamin as well if it works XD [07:14] kohlrak: I su into users-admin started adding my username under anything "admin" looking and vice versa with my personal group, rebooted [07:14] kohlrak: shoot but the required package is libfam0 in the description [07:14] smikec: improvement? [07:14] kohlrak: improvement = yes [07:14] now my username can change root permissions once I unlock [07:15] so its just tinkering from here on out [07:15] fool_ well, if gamin's a dropin that works then it shouldn't matter. What matters is that it works. If both work, worry about security... if this thing makes a daemon, it's not number1 on my list of secure programs. [07:15] kohlrak: i'm gonna file a bug report [07:15] smikec: awesome... not sure what worked, but the "unlock" button is a requirement for all as far as i know =p [07:15] thanks for everyones help, goodnight [07:15] smikec: night [07:16] at least everyting in the gui works now [07:16] fool_ good idea... [07:16] gRunt, mount options ro, read-only. I usually do that 'cos it's safer that way [07:16] kohlrak: haha well it works as far as i can see, but that's still unsure, but they should have drop the requirement for libfam [07:16] hi, inorder to get the text based ubuntu do i download the alternate cd? [07:17] the one with no gui [07:17] fool_ well, they have to use either libfam or the more secure one, and if they don't get rid of libfam, they really can't make the dropin the primary requirement.. [07:18] fool_ some kind of weird programmer ethics thing or something. The least they could do, though, is mention the dropin replacement [07:18] join #irssi [07:18] kohlrak: no kidding, or do libfam | gamin in the requirements spec [07:18] sprinkmeier, occassionaly im on linux though and have dled a file that I want to be able to open in my windows machine and its easier to just copy it there than stuff around with an external, thats all [07:19] fool_ you can do that? Though, they probably did, otherwise purging libfam for gamin would have thrown an error. Naturally the one will install before the other on most machines [07:19] fool_: what package is this? [07:19] fool_ that means there's likely another program that uses libfam that doesn't have the option set right forthe dropin replacement... [07:20] kohlrak: yes you can do that, and no they didn't [07:20] crdlb: cone [07:20] kohlrak: yes i tried to purge gamin and lighttpd cry out in horror [07:21] fool_ well, if gamin is the more secure package then you don't want to purge that one XD [07:22] fool_: i gotta get going. Chances are some one will answer that bug report before i have a viable solution other than already suggested. [07:22] kohlrak: the lighttpd does show a gamin | libfam dependencies [07:22] kohlrak: problem is, i will use it and it might crash one day [07:22] or it might live one happily ever after [07:22] lol [07:22] kohlrak: yes, thanks, have fun getting back to work [07:22] fool_ well, if it's "more maintainable" then it'll probably end up becomming the primary requirement as libfam becomes outdated and not maintained [07:22] fool_: hi again, it's not working =( On http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriTroubleshooting they say I should have a "Modules" section in my xorg.conf, but if I add that the xserver says there is no known section named that ... [07:23] fool_: see ya [07:23] Hi, how do I encrypt my full harddrive (instead of seperate volumes) I want the tool to autoselect an environment based on the password that I enter so that it is undetectable that I have another environment installed (accessible with the other password). Does this exist? [07:23] digger3: sounds cool though === egillth is now known as eth [07:24] hello [07:24] ravn1: xorg 7.3 did away with many parts of the config, gotta check which video card ou got and override in the config right for it to work === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:25] my sound is gone and all I hear is crackles from speakers. anybody wanna help me fix it? [07:26] suigeneris: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting is good start [07:26] hi am trying to connect to my desktop from my laptop.. i can ssh from the desktop to laptop, but when i try to do the reverse i.e (laptop->desktop) i get "port22:connection refused" how can i solve the problem? [07:27] mine is a home router, i don't think there is firewall in it.. [07:27] sanku: check ufw firewall [07:27] of desktop [07:28] fool_: find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd gives me a list, aplay -l gives me my sound card, lspci -v gives me my sound card [07:28] fool_: it used to work before [07:28] fool_: its some problem with laptop, i had problem from colege too.. both having gnewsense(ubuntu 8.04).. [07:29] btw whats the recommended way to get connected and share files in lan connected ubuntu systems? [07:29] sanku: what does ssh username@desktopIP show you ? [07:30] fool_: ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.3 port 22: Connection refused [07:30] suigeneris: alsamixer, check the volumes [07:30] how can I completely remove mysql-server-5.0 and start again? I believe it's a broken install, and the service won't start... every time I remove it and reinstall it does the exact same thing [07:30] fool_: they are up [07:30] I've removed every single package that has anything to do with mysql and it still does i [07:30] sanku: you absolutely sure it's 1.3 ? [07:30] it* [07:31] nate[oz]: sudo apt-get --purge remove mysql-server-5.0 [07:31] fool_: yeah saw ifconfig at desktop, and sure that there is something wrong with the laptop ssh network, i had the same problem with well setup college sytems.. [07:31] suigeneris: well sometimes one of the tabs has to be down, like on my laptop, otherwise there are a lot of sizzling noise [07:31] s/ssh network/ssh setup/ [07:32] sanku: on desktop, do nestat -ntl [07:32] I need to upgrade my graphics driver, anyone know how I go about doing this? [07:32] fool_: like i said, it used to work with this setup [07:33] hey, how to create a virtual serial port for bluetooth under 8.10? [07:33] hi guys..i know its a bit off topic but does anyone have any experience using 1.5TB on ubuntu? [07:33] suigeneris: something must have happen, can't help you out here [07:34] Active Internet connections (only servers) [07:34] Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State [07:34] tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [07:34] suigeneris, http://paste.ubuntu.com/132881/ [07:34] fool_: ^^ [07:34] still no luck I'm afraid [07:34] apparently the only way to sync palm devices with ubuntu over bluetooth is with a virtual serial port, bu I don't know how to do that with Gnome GUI (it's for my dad, so it has to be GUI) [07:34] thanks in advance [07:34] sanku: ssh is not running [07:35] sanku: ps faux |grep ssh [07:35] doleyb: this seems to do the trick: http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=plausible-deniability [07:35] nate[oz]: no idea on that, sorry [07:36] nps, thanks mate [07:36] I'm thinking about reinstalling :( can't figure this out [07:37] I need to upgrade my graphics driver, anyone know how I go about doing this? [07:38] hi [07:39] fool_: uh! terribly sorry openssh-server and ssh isn't installed! and now synaptic shows some error "Depends: openssh-client (=1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1) but 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1.2 is to be installed" [07:40] sorry to bother but i cant get an aswer anywhere else..for some reason ubuntu only see 500GB out of 1.5TB in all a.5TB drives..anyone else knwo something abou tit? [07:40] Reidy: try waiting for the next ubuntu release. Updated and tested graphics drivers will be included [07:40] how long for the next release? LOL. [07:41] Reidy: manually updating your drivers is of course possible, but you really need to know what you're doing. I'd suggest that you wait for the 9.04 release [07:41] nate[oz]: sudo aptitude purge ~c [07:41] then try reinstall it [07:41] Reidy: ;D [07:41] sanku_desktop: sudo aptitude insatll ssh on desktop [07:43] can someone help me i can't format my disk to ext3....take a look if this helps http://pastie.org/419516 [07:44] unko: Mikes Media ? [07:45] fool_, i got it [07:45] hello! ubuntu 32 bit || 64 bit?? [07:46] Digger3: How long do you expect it to be? I don't wanna keep paying the monthly bill if I'm gonna have to wait a long time. [07:46] Reidy: the release is about 30 day [07:47] fool_: yeah but some version clash on desktop, it asks for a higher version of openssh-client " Depends: openssh-client (=1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1) but 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1.2 is to be installed" this is what i get.. [07:47] which ubuntu has better performance? 32bit or 64bit? [07:47] 30 days until 9.0.4? [07:48] Reidy: well it's scheduled for April 2009, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule for additional information. If you're really anxious you could install the Release Candidate when it is out [07:48] nmlinuz: well 64 bit does, if you have a lot of ram (and you should buy ram!) [07:48] sanku_desktop: go through the options, it will give you option to install lower version of ssh, are you using -proposed and such other repos ? === squiddy is now known as Guest25710 [07:48] at 64bit is an os capable to run 32bit apps? [07:48] or not? [07:49] yes nmlinuz [07:49] fool_: yeah now trying to install older version of openssh-server.. my laptop is having the older version... [07:49] thnx fool_ and doleyb [07:49] nmlinuz: flash has been known to be buggy on 64 bit [07:49] beware [07:50] it all depends on your needs [07:50] fool_: Are you implying it's not buggy on 32bit? :-) [07:51] haha cafuego well it's not AS buggy on 32bit [07:51] fool_: ok! so i want now to buy a new graphic card. which you suggest? ati or nvidia? i have heard that ati has problems with linux. is that true? [07:51] if you needs are: youtube; then the 64bit flash plugin is just fine. [07:52] how do I change back to the default color of ubuntu? I was messing with gnome color chooser and now I can't change it back to the default :( [07:52] nmlinuz: i've had problems and smooth rides with both, get an intel card [07:52] lol [07:52] !ot [07:52] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:53] nmlinuz: i'm on nvidia, chosen to be OK with linux. but by knowledge on that is obsolete. [07:53] fool_, I got it, PCM was down [07:53] nmlinuz: The absolutely latest hardware is unlikely to work great; ATI used to be crap, but they're open sourcing the driver, so it should improve. nvidia is completely closed, but tends to work fine. [07:54] nmlinuz: I have an nvidia on my desktop box, intel on my laptop. The nvidia card is a few years old tho. [07:54] Kartagis: hehe them bars are cranky and needy ;) [07:54] Atheros wifi on laptop used to work, then i disabeled it somehow and now it won't reenable. modproble ath_pci works but neither ath0 nor wlan0 appear. modproble ath5k doesn't work (no module found). Bluetooth is working (which means that device is physically powered) and lspci shows everything as ok. Any idea what to try now? [07:54] dam #gentoo [07:55] nmlinuz: I'd suggest an nvidia card, they have less issues (still issues though) go and see if multi-monitor setups are important to you. I think there are some differences there, not sure [07:55] hello everyone [07:55] hi [07:55] i know this sounds ridiculous,but when not in the presence of my home wireless network my ubuntu runs terribly, and when in the presence of my home wireless network it runs perfectly... any ideas?

[08:09] revilodraw, Have you tried disabling your wireless(?) when you're @ home or when your afh? [08:11] yes, and it worked fine with / without wireless at home, but poorly without wireless afh... im editing etc/network/interfaces as we speak and changing it to 'auto wlan 0' is this a good idea? [08:13] revilodraw, that will bring the interface up automatically at boot - whats the line after that say? make sure there's not a space between the wlan and the 0 [08:13] whats the recommended way of sharing files between ubuntus in a lan? [08:14] Cappientes: before i edited it it details my home wireless network settings... [08:14] fool_: how do I get an application thats supposed to run on WINE into my applications bar? [08:15] revilodraw, ahh okay, Do you use networkManager to manage your wireless? [08:15] Hey, I'm trying to setup a cups-pdf to use in xp, cept xp asks me for connection details for the printer. My login details don't work. Anyone got any ideas ? [08:16] Cappientes: yes [08:17] sanku: you can use samba, giver or sftp [08:17] Anyone know how to install the Intel Drivers from http://intellinuxgraphics.org/index.html ? [08:17] sanku: np [08:18] How to get Bluetooth headset working in ubuntu 8.10 [08:18] like which way would work great by default? there is a link for network on the gnome-panel, its for samba? [08:18] revilodraw, When you start to get bad performance is this in applications that are net dependant? And is the other networks you access afh the same ones or do you have trouble with all wireless networks? [08:18] feng: there's the menu editor, i'm not too familiar, dig around [08:18] i mean to recommend to non-techie users.. [08:18] How to get Bluetooth headset working in ubuntu 8.10 [08:18] I have a syntax error in my kboot.conf, and I've been dropped into busybox. I know what I need to fix, but nano says command not found! [08:19] How do I invoke and editor in busybox to fix the file? [08:19] Anyone know how to install the Intel Drivers from http://intellinuxgraphics.org/index.html ? [08:19] Cappientes: when programs/folders/files finally open they run really well.... glxgears for example reports 2600 fps... but takes ages to open [08:19] heya, who is the best to ask about using ubuntu on a c2d laptop? [08:19] dds [08:20] massiveoni: c2d laptop.? [08:20] core 2 duo [08:20] sanku: samba is well integrated. for passing single files you could giver, which works like IM file sharing. Sftp allows for accessing files on another computer if you have the username/pw of the user. [08:20] arunreddy: What do you want to know? [08:20] i have a question... would you be able to dual boot ubuntu 8.10 desktop with ubuntu server? [08:20] massiveoni : i use a c2d laptop.Its works fine for me.. it ricks [08:21] fliegenderfrosch: ic.. thanks buddy.. [08:21] arunreddy : can i pm you? [08:21] sanku: np [08:21] Reidy : I have a dell bh200 bluetooth headset. It doesnt pair with my lappy.. and gives some weird errors [08:21] Ubuntu runs perfect on my C2D laptop [08:21] massiveoni : yep [08:21] Anyone? How can I edit files in busybox? [08:22] what i would like to know should i use 8.10 or wait for 9 [08:22] pyrohotdog: Oh, busybox... i sorta remember that. Try vi [08:22] massiveoni, what do you currently have? [08:22] windows vista ultimate msdn, lol === sloth is now known as kaffir [08:23] arunreddy: When you try to Setup a New Device through the menu, does it show up? === kaffir is now known as letter_z [08:23] massiveoni: depends on your hardware (video card / wifi / ... ) [08:23] yeah device shows up [08:23] massiveoni, no need to wait for jaunty [08:23] Ok, and connecting to it doesn't work? [08:23] revilodraw, I can't think of what would be causing that, especially if you've top'ed it during it running slowly unless there was something continually trying to access something that only exists on your home network [08:23] yeh wifi n, gf 8400m gs [08:23] i bet 8.10 will work, just double-check your hardware [08:24] whenever I try to open Software Sources or Synaptic package manager, nothing happens. I'm admin on this account. Whats wrong with it? [08:24] revilodraw, You haven't got a system proxy set have you? [08:24] would you be able to dual boot ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server? [08:25] !tab [08:25] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [08:25] dixon2081: yes, but why? [08:26] funkyhat i have just been wondering, because you can dual boot windows and ubuntu, was just wondering if you would be able to dual boot desktop and server [08:26] dixon2081: wouldn't it be better to run one of them in a VM (QEMU, Virtualbox, etc...)? [08:26] dont have a VM === sal is now known as Guest76877 [08:26] dixon2081: Ubuntu server is much the same as Ubuntu desktop, you could just install the server components on your Ubuntu desktop system, and not need to reboot, or use a VM if you really need to have separate machines [08:26] Reidy: it connects.. able to detect it ..it doesnt pair.. [08:27] dixon2081: which are you running now? [08:27] ubuntu 8.10 with kubuntu and xubuntu desktops [08:27] whenever I try to open Software Sources or Synaptic package manager, nothing happens(This applies to everything but Authorization). I'm admin on this account. Whats wrong with it? [08:27] Hey, I'm trying to setup a cups-pdf to use in xp, cept xp asks me for connection details for the printer. My login details don't work. Anyone got any ideas ? [08:27] Hello [08:28] I have some troubles to read CDROM with my xUbuntu 8.10 [08:28] dixon2081: what is the configuration of the machine (RAM, CPU, 32 or 64-bit)? [08:28] I can read DVDs but not CDROMs [08:28] 512MB RAM, 1.86GHZ intel celeron M 32 bit [08:29] Under Windows I can read all medias [08:29] 80GB HDD [08:29] somebody have an idea [08:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/132849/ [08:29] dixon2081: ok, not a great machine for VMs... what were you trying to accomplish by installing both? [08:29] i havent installed both [08:30] Puppet_Master: the error message is telling you that your CD ROM drive is broken [08:30] dixon2081: are you looking for the security of the server with the convenience of the desktop? [08:30] i was wondering if it would be possable to dual boot the two, just for future reference [08:30] Puppet_Master: do you have another drive you could plug in to try? [08:30] funkyHat, but it works under windows [08:30] funkyHat, no [08:31] it's a laptop [08:31] yo yo yo [08:31] dixon2081 : i have a dual boot system [08:31] !hi | ActionParsnip1 [08:31] ActionParsnip1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [08:31] funkyHat, and it reads DVD's without any problem === umar is now known as umar|brb [08:32] what is the command to start the gnome "Disk Usage Analyzer" from the command line? [08:32] Puppet_Master: video DVDs? [08:32] dixon2081: i am failing to see the point of two separate partitions for ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server. why not install server applications on the desktop or vice versa? [08:33] dixon2081: it is possible... you need to create 2 /boot partitions (100-200MB) and 2 / partitions (20-40GB), you can share both the swap (RAM * 1.5) and /home partitions [08:33] Segaja: edit your menu to see what command it runs [08:34] ActionParsnip1: i don't have gnome running, but it is installed. i just want the command :) [08:34] hi everyone. i'm having an issue with my cd rom. this is a laptop and i use the Gunjin boot loader to get the disk to boot. i can begin the install, ie: select language. it loads the kernel and starts the process but gets hung up on detection the cdrom??? it asks for drivers... (even tho it just loaded it) any ideas? === joetheodd_ is now known as joetheodd [08:34] ActionParsnip1, an Linux ISO DVD [08:34] tc111: 20GB is large for a / partition imo... also separate /boot partitions are not really necessary [08:34] Segaja: baobab [08:34] ActionParsnip1, I don't have any Video DVD at work [08:34] tc111: thanks [08:35] Puppet_Master: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded? [08:35] Hey, I'm trying to setup a cups-pdf to use in xp, cept xp asks me for connection details for the printer. My login details don't work. Anyone got any ideas ? [08:35] funkyHat: doesn't the installer want to format the /boot partition (even in manual)? [08:35] couldn't they use a better name for that... [08:35] tc111: in manual it will do just what you tell it to, but my point is you don't need to have a /boot partition at all [08:35] ActionParsnip1, I don't have problems with DVDs, I have troubles with CDROM [08:36] my media don't read any CDROM [08:36] original or burned [08:36] Adman65: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingFromWinXP [08:36] ActionParsnip1, it just read DVDs [08:37] Puppet_Master: insert a cd media with data on it, wait 20 seconds or so then read dmesg | tail === rachel is now known as Guest21783 [08:38] Segaja: ok, just the way i setup my machines, but haven't ever installed two separate on the same machine (except in VMs as all my machines are more than adequate for such). I've installed server and then added a lightweight desktop for convenience. [08:39] Aminzai: I think you want to configure cups as an ipp printer [08:39] hi guys, is there anyone running ubuntu on amilo pi 3540 laptop ? [08:39] tc111: then you may as well have installed the desktop OS [08:39] funkyHat: ok, just the way i setup my machines, but haven't ever installed two separate on the same machine (except in VMs as all my machines are more than adequate for such). I've installed server and then added a lightweight desktop for convenience. [08:39] cTn: what is printed on the case means very little, what is your issue? [08:39] !broadcom [08:39] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [08:40] hi all, and one know where i can find a net install (mini iso) for 8.10 ? [08:40] Aminzai: this sounds right for you: http://www.owlfish.com/thoughts/winipp-cups-2003-07-20.html [08:40] ActionParsnip1: its a headless machine. i ssh and tunnel X so that i can run some gui apps, but i wouldn't do it again as i love the cli. [08:40] ActionParsnip1, ok I try [08:40] s7itch3s: forgive my ignorance, what is a gunjin bootloader and does grub not work for you? [08:40] ActionParsnip1: hi, so my laptop has 4gb of ram so i wanted to install x64 version of ubuntu, but when i insert latest live cd (8.10 x64) and select for example 1st option, to try ubuntu without any changes, notebook reboots [08:40] tc111: fair enough :) there are some advantages to having a separate /boot, I just think it's not necessary for most people's needs :) [08:40] tc111: cli is sweet [08:41] i'll that that as a no.... [08:42] ActionParsnip1: same thing happens when i press the install option [08:42] tc111: FreeNX is also sweet, instead of X over ssh [08:42] ActionParsnip1, no new line on dmesg [08:42] Boohbah: sorry, "http://gujin.sourceforge.net/" gujin. i've had grub on this machine work before(installed with debian) but not from floppy. is it just like a floppy that looks at available drives? [08:43] funkyHat: i have some fairly complex drive setups, so i use a separate /boot partition formatted ext3. most all of my machine, >12, use LVM or RAID and LVM, so need a separate /boot, but you're right, the standard basic user doesn't need that feature. [08:43] Puppet_Master: you wont see a 'new line' you will see the kernels reaction to the cd being inserted [08:43] heelo guys.. where can I find bcm43xx-fwcutter or b43-legacy for download? I needed for my other laptop that can't connect to the net.. so Iḿ trying to download it and put it on there [08:44] Boohbah: never used freenx, i'll check the repo's and see what it offers... thx === umar|brb is now known as umar [08:44] ActionParsnip1, the kernel don't output anything when I inser a CDROM [08:44] s7itch3s: uhh floppy? is your machine from the 20th century? [08:44] Boohbah: no, win95 [08:44] Puppet_Master: run the dmesg | tail command again [08:44] Puppet_Master: or try a manual mount [08:45] How do you add someone to you buddy list [08:45] how do you bring up a buddy list [08:45] tc111: it's quite a bit faster than X over SSH as they've optimized the protocol and such [08:46] JuzProdtionz: in what software? [08:46] im using Mirc [08:46] Boohbah: i have two of them. this one bios doesn't allow boot from cdrom. so i circumvent that with that gujin boot loader. === EdgeX- is now known as edgex- [08:46] gldtn: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 [08:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/132915/ [08:46] ActionParsnip1, http://paste.ubuntu.com/132915/ [08:46] JuzProdtionz: hmm... you might be better off looking at documentation for mIRC then.. I doubt very many here use mIRC [08:47] Puppet_Master: are you logged in as root? [08:47] I just tried to istall ubutu again- this time I had help [08:47] yes [08:47] Puppet_Master: why? [08:48] Did not get past the first screen after it ask for langauge [08:48] ubuntu hates me badley [08:48] Boohbah: basically, i did boot the cdrom but now it cannot find it when "detecting hardware" runs. it's asking for a driver [08:48] could it be because i burned the cd too fast tat it did not work [08:49] JuzProdtionz: that's possible.. there is a "check cd" option in the first menu you see [08:49] guys i've got a really unique situation: i need to install from the alternate cd for ubuntu (to get a full CLI system), but from a usb drive (eeepc), but with an image that will fit on a 512 meg usb drive, is this possible? is there a custom image out there that's just a bit smaller? [08:49] ActionParsnip1, routine(i don't know if the word is correct in english) [08:49] Puppet_Master: you do realised you have just damaged your security quite heavily? [08:49] im going to reburn it what do speed do you recommend [08:49] !minimal | raevol1 [08:49] raevol1: 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 [08:49] !minimal | raevol1 This might help [08:49] raevol1 This might help: 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 [08:49] to slow [08:49] ActionParsnip1, yes I know [08:50] i can't use the minimal cd because i can't get network during the install [08:50] Puppet_Master: theres nothing your user cant do that root cannot do, plus running web apps (like irc clients) is the stupidest and least secure thing a user can do [08:50] I have the most horrif wireless keyboard does not matter where i am the signal is crap and when type it leves out key. === raevol1 is now known as raevol [08:50] DJones: just got my morning coffee.. you'll beat me again in an hour or so =) [08:50] microsoft sucks [08:50] ActionParsnip1, I just made an 'sudo su -' [08:50] I'm not running xchat or my windown manager with root user [08:51] I wonderif i can make the signal stronge so atleast i can type normal [08:51] JuzProdtionz: not really.. but that's not something to discuss here.. try #ubuntu-offtopic instead [08:51] I'm not so stupid [08:51] Slart DJones i can't use the minimal cd because i can't get netowrk during the install, i need to be able to dpkg-i the array.org kernal after installing [08:51] Puppet_Master: 1. you just said you were logged in as root 2. sudo su doesn't configure the environment correctly [08:51] Puppet_Master: sudo -i is advised [08:51] ActionParsnip1, my terminal session is logged as root [08:51] im sorry just bought a ms wireless keyboard and it the worst ever don't matter how i positon it it cuts key out [08:51] raevol: I'm not sure how to help, I've not got any experience with the eeepc's [08:52] Puppet_Master: sudo mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 [08:52] s7itch3s: hmm, i guess if you can't boot some linux and run lspci then you will have to google for your cd-rom model and figure out what driver it uses. have you tried knoppix? [08:52] raevol: oh.. hmm.. then I don't really know.. If I were in your position I would look into some tools to edit disk images and try removing some packages you don't want to use.. something big.. openoffice perhaps [08:52] what speed should i run it at now [08:52] Puppet_Master: as long as you havent enabled the root account [08:53] I am going to reburn it to try a lower speed to see if that work, but how fast? [08:53] slart, any ideas what those tools would be called? [08:53] JuzProdtionz: 4x or something [08:53] I've had my broadcom wireless work just fine with the restricted drivers, but after updating a few packages it no longer appears in lspci. any ideas? [08:53] |~| % sudo mount /dev/scd0 /cdrom [08:53] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [08:53] o/ [08:53] s7itch3s: if you have a spare machine you could try installing Ubuntu using a network install, although that might not be the most straightforward solution [08:53] raevol: not really.. try searching in synaptic for.. well... "iso editor" or something [08:53] Puppet_Master: weird [08:53] slart thanks [08:54] raevol: you're welcome [08:54] is there anyway to force ubuntu to probe for hardware? [08:54] ActionParsnip1, http://paste.ubuntu.com/132919/ [08:55] Puppet_Master: is the cd burned as an iso9660? [08:55] Boohbah: knoppix when even load on this machine. to slow. ive got debian, dsl, slackware and some other distros to work, all without sound. i was hoping ubuntu would help with that because it seems to be the best recognizable disto ive ever used... then again, i have this issue... so who knows. i'll try looking for some linux drivers maybe in the knoppix distro [08:55] I just tried creating a custom ubuntu cd with a custom branding and custom desktop meta package. created the iso image and tried installing it in a vbox, the result was 1) it tried to setup a pppoe connection at network conf 2) couldn't find a kernel image suitable for installing 3) some message about glibc [08:55] poet: a reboot? [08:55] Boohbah: *won't even load [08:55] anyone experiences with customizating the ubuntu install cd? [08:55] Wow it says 10x isthe lowest [08:55] it's an driver CD [08:56] JuzProdtionz: then go with that [08:56] 10x is the lowest speed i can burn my intsall [08:56] Slart: many reboots have been tried [08:56] ActionParsnip1, from a mobile phone [08:56] raevol: Have you thought about crunchbag linux, looks like they do an ubuntu based "lite" version of crunchbag for the eeepc which is a 448Mb iso http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/downloads/8.10.02 [08:56] ActionParsnip1, I can try with another CD [08:56] Would 10x work? [08:56] Puppet_Master: why do you need a driver cd for your phone, are you going to use it in a VM or something? [08:57] ActionParsnip1, I take this CD just for test [08:57] gotcha [08:57] poet: then I think something else is wrong.. what hardware are you trying to find? [08:57] ActionParsnip1, I need to read CD's [08:58] DJones: thanks, i hadn't seen that [08:58] Slart: I have a broadcom 4321 chip for my wireless card, been working fine for the last year or so using restricted drivers [08:58] raevol: your welcome, hope you get installed [08:58] recently (I think after a minor update), it is no longer listed anywhere [08:58] what does everyone use to burn ISO's someone told me to use CDburnerXP but the lowest it write ubuntu at is 10x [08:58] Puppet_Master: have you tried the noacp and nodma boot options [08:58] !bootoptions | Puppet_Master [08:58] Puppet_Master: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [08:59] !burniso | JuzProdtionz [08:59] JuzProdtionz: To burn an ISO image of a CD in Linux, Mac OS or Windows, read the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [08:59] hi guys [08:59] Hello [08:59] =) [08:59] ActionParsnip1, no [08:59] I am using windows because I want to go from windows to linux [08:59] im not quite there yet [09:00] I am using windows xp and kubuntu [09:00] So how is everyone doing tonight? [09:00] great [09:01] i want to dual boot that is what im trying but i need to get a burning program now [09:01] Puppet_Master: could be worth a try [09:01] Indeed. you have windows on there first right? because if you load kubuntu after windows it breaks the booter [09:02] tomb rider [09:02] xavierg2003: quite the opposite, if you have windows first the install ubuntu the dual boot will be handled for you [09:02] xavierg2003: just partition windows intelligently so you have unpartitioned space for ubuntu to use [09:02] moin [09:02] indeed my mistake i meant in reverse. am a little drunk now. so i can not really proof read i am just typeing by instinct [09:03] ActionParsnip1, noacp ? or noapic ? [09:03] I actually tried to partition windows into kubuntu and it did not work very well. [09:03] after i had installed kubuntu as my main os. [09:04] hello, what is the update-notifiers's graphical front end name? [09:04] >.< [09:04] christoz: update-manager? === edgex- is now known as edgex-- [09:05] So now the silence comences [09:05] Slart, update-manager is a sub menu of it [09:05] christoz: adept-notifier i believe [09:05] the panel tray icon which appears whenever a package manager is working on gnome [09:05] the end of the world lies in the hands of the rabbid squirells [09:06] not really but whatever no one is answering anyway. so good night ladies and gentlemen. [09:06] christoz: ahhh.. that one... hmm.. [09:07] christoz: Use xprop on it? [09:07] xavierg2003: when you install windows, dont hit enter like a standard windows idiot. read the screen and you can leave space unpartitioned, ubuntu will then see the space when you come to install it and the whole dual boot is managed for you [09:07] ActionParsnip1: He's gone [09:07] oh well [09:07] funkyHat: i'm going to try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WithFloppies [09:07] soreau, xpron? what is that? [09:08] hi, I have an up-to-date jaunty and have problems logging in to gnome session; when I log in, I only have black screen, my pidgin starts up but has no window decorations; I tried to create a new user (to have empty homedir), but it was the same (minus pidgin, of course) [09:08] xpron.. sounds.. useful.. [09:08] christoz: Not xpron, try reading [09:08] !jaunty | phjr [09:08] phjr: 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. [09:08] .xpron [09:08] Slart: yes I know it's jaunty, but perhaps it can somehow be fixed [09:09] phjr: read what ubottu said.. last sentence [09:09] hey, is there a Gnome-y GUI-y way to create a virtual serial port for bluetooth under 8.10? I want to configure Ubuntu for bluetooth synching of a Palm Treo phone... [09:09] Slart: and I asked on #ubuntu+1, but that channel is dead [09:09] kandinski: Try google? [09:09] xpron does not exist [09:09] phjr: it's still the place to ask about jaunty.. this channel is for the other releases [09:09] Slart: and there must be a way to fix it, how else can I test other stuff? [09:09] soreau: already have [09:10] christoz: I never said anything about xpron. *read* what I asked you [09:10] Good morning [09:10] soreau, reading what? [09:10] Slart: well, okay [09:10] If you can't then forget it [09:10] christoz: he said xprop, not xpron [09:11] kandinski: I'm not sure you will get much support for something that specific here [09:11] soreau: thanks. on top of that it's for my dad, so CLI-y solutions are not good till I can go visit him [09:12] what irc server is this? freenode.irc ?

[09:17] ! anyone | Corey-Bear [09:17] Corey-Bear: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [09:17] help' [09:17] !ask | Corey-Bear [09:17] Corey-Bear: 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. :-) [09:17] ok here we go [09:17] so i tried activating my ati graphics card [09:17] when i reboot [09:17] it says out of range [09:17] "All in one line" [09:18] Corey-Bear: You probably need to specify refresh rate with resolution in xorg.conf [09:18] soreau \n how \n about \n a \n vertical \n line \n ? \n :) [09:18] How do i do that? [09:18] Seveas: Perfect ;) [09:19] I am a noob with linux [09:19] !ati | Corey-Bear [09:19] Corey-Bear: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:19] Wow ive looked at many forums and none of them helped and i didnt even know what they were talking about [09:19] obviously nobody on here can help either [09:20] obviously since they didn't give you an exacting solution in 5 minutes or less [09:20] not really soreau [09:20] I posted another up two days ago [09:20] Corey-Bear, who pissed in your Cheerios? relax and someone will offer advice. [09:21] I'm sorry guys its been 5 dayd dealing with this problem [09:21] Corey-Bear, please dont type two words and hit enter [09:21] Also Baz it was three words lol [09:21] thank you soreau and action [09:22] Corey-Bear: Read this xorg.conf. Maybe you can get some ideas from the Monitor section and or mode lines http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=414251 [09:22] sky_: I didn't do much but you're welcome [09:22] Thank you sereau, i just want to know how to activate my graphics card without any problems arising. [09:23] Hey, I'm trying to setup a cups-pdf to use in xp, cept xp asks me for connection details for the printer. My login details don't work. Anyone got any ideas ? [09:23] Corey-Bear: what graphics card is it ? and what is the problem [09:23] wanna_learn_more: I'm picking up your problem from yesterday now [09:24] When I Activate Ati 300 something, I reboot and it says out of range, I just wanna know how to configure so and so so that it accepts my video card [09:24] nautilus scripts, where do I put them? I tried ~.gnome/nautilus-scripts but it didn't work out [09:24] Corey-Bear, please read that link [09:24] or i believe it nvidia video card [09:24] Bazhang I'm reading the link as we speak === Doctor-Steve_ is now known as Ghoster [09:25] It's talking about drivers, and so far i believe i have installed the drivers [09:25] Corey-Bear: ok 1.) ati driver support is famously bad 2.) if it's a modeline setting "out of range" then looking at the xorg.conf file as suggested earlier is a good place to start 3.) you need to know what drivers you are using as there are multiple available for ATI 4.) why are you mentioning nvidia if you have an ati card ? [09:26] does ubuntu 8.10 still not have dual monitor support? [09:26] I'm sorry Iko its a ATI [09:26] Corey-Bear: If you know how to use a terminal, the output of 'lspci|grep VGA' will tell you exactly which graphics card you have [09:26] Howdy all. Need a bit of assistance getting some video drivers installed - can even get X running properly until I do this so Iḿ stuck in terminal. [09:26] BlackAeronaut: Which graphics card? [09:26] Hey people, you know Wubi.. how come I can't select an ISO anymore? [09:26] Ghoster ubuntu has had dual monitor support from about 5.04 onwards [09:27] ikonia, i mean "working" monitor support [09:27] Ghoster ubuntu has had working dual monitor support from about 5.04 onwards [09:27] soreau: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 X2 Hybrid. [09:27] Ghoster: ubuntu has always had support for dual head configuration. It depends on which graphics card and drivers you're using [09:27] Ghoster: perhaps you cyould help us help you by telling us what GPU you have [09:27] "su" gives authentication failure when i attempt to login as root [09:27] Anyone? [09:27] Keal: you don't su [09:27] !sudo > Keal [09:27] Keal, please see my private message [09:27] crdlb, i got a different one since i tried with 7.10 :P === Lepohi is now known as _Lepohi [09:28] Sudo is greater than Keal? well duh xD [09:28] soreau: I already have the tar for the driver depackaged to the root directory. [09:28] Ghoster: what was the old one? [09:28] crdlb, ATI Xpress 1150 [09:28] BlackAeronaut: So you'll need to use the proprietary fglrx drivers. First to get into X, open xorg.conf and change the Driver line in the Device section from whatever it is now to "vesa" (sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf) [09:28] I ran that command sereau and it shows my video card,does that mean its installed? [09:28] hmm how i can start hplip in graphic mode ? === _Lepohi is now known as Lepohi [09:28] mmh, can anyone see my messages? [09:28] Corey-Bear: No, paste that line here so we know for sure which card you have [09:29] Supavisah, no :P [09:29] Supavisah: nope [09:29] corey@corey-desktop:~$ lspci|grep VGA [09:29] Ghoster: ah, I can see how that might have been difficult, back then, fglrx was even worse than it is now [09:29] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] [09:29] Damn.. okay well it's confirmed I can be head! :P [09:29] Help please. What package is 'autoexpect' in? [09:29] soreau: I can even get X started. Iǘe been having driver issues in getting Ubuntu to boot properly on my Toshiba Satellite A355D laptop. [09:30] hi, how can i "remove the arrows of the gnome main menu" that indicate that there is a submenu behind it?? [09:30] biabia: In Intrepid it's expect-tcl8.3-dev [09:30] So does anyone know why Wubi doesn't support ISO anymore? [09:30] and how to scan ? :D [09:30] ActionParsnip1, ok [09:30] Soreau I copied the line corey@corey-desktop:~$ lspci|grep VGA [09:30] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] [09:30] knutwin: right click on menu === w7 is now known as cew_20 [09:30] Corey-Bear: You didn't even need to install any driver. Using intrepid, the drivers are installed by default [09:31] b1n42y: and then? all i get is "edit menu" [09:31] soreau: sorry, 8.04 here (is that hardy?) [09:31] Ghoster: so what's your current card? [09:31] Soreau then why does it say its not activated? Also my games lag up a storm? [09:31] sky_: Use xsane or iscan [09:31] b1n42y: im on gnome [09:31] nah not on the menu on the panle sorry [09:31] no irc client with a look like mirc ui for ubuntu linux? [09:31] panel [09:31] ok [09:31] :) [09:31] World of warcraft lags hard and it never used to Soreau [09:31] crdlb, 9800GT [09:31] biabia: In hardy it's expect-tcl8.3-dev as well [09:31] World of Slideshowcraft? [09:31] ai? [09:32] Corey-Bear: the driver you're using provided 3d, just not hugely fast 3d [09:32] Corey-Bear did you set it to opengl? [09:32] ah figured it out it seems :P [09:32] soreau: wouldn't expect-dev be better?

[09:32] Corey-Bear: If you play games then it may be better to use the proprietary fglrx driver [09:32] lol [09:32] b1n42y: can u explain a lil further? [09:32] Ghoster i have a girlfriend of 4 years lol [09:33] Ghoster I think your the one who need sot get laid my friend [09:33] Corey-Bear, is she fat? [09:33] come on now, people ...

[09:34] Corey-Bear, i hear so much about 4chan, but still have no idea what it is :( [09:34] hahaha [09:34] Ghoster: unfortunately they don't support XRandR 1.2, so the fun little "Screen Resolution" panel won't do much [09:34] Ghoster is now ignored haha I'm not gonna continue with his shinnanagins [09:34] but nvidia-settings will [09:34] soreau and b1n42y thanks :) [09:34] crdlb, whats the best driver to install [09:34] biabia: np [09:34] ! best [09:34] 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. [09:34] 4 chan is teh awesome u guyz longcat is LONG LOLOLOL DESU~ [09:34] Ghoster: nvidia-glx-180 [09:35] Soreau can you tell me why I cant activate it then? [09:35] Corey-Bear, im not the one playing WoW... [09:35] crdlb, awesome... any thing else ill need? [09:35] Ghoster system admin where? ...... also any mmoepg or cool game to run on ubuntu :) [09:35] Corey-Bear: I believe you have it installed but you need to tweak xorg.conf to make it set the correct resolution and refresh rate for your monitor [09:35] Ghoster: make sure its the 180.29 driver, the 32 has bugs [09:35] knutwin: make sure your right clicking on menu you might have to move something out of the way, the there should be show buttons option [09:35] knutwin: arg PANEL* [09:35] Ghoster: that's it; note that if you use the "hardware drivers" gui, it will probably only offer -177 [09:35] Soreau, How do I do that man? [09:36] I'm trying to follow the ubuntu guide on getting my webcam to work but mencoder segfaults whe nI try to capture video [09:36] crdlb, whats wrong with that? [09:36] Corey-Bear: I gave you a link already [09:36] Soreau think i can talk to you via a messenger please? [09:36] Ghoster: it's just older :) [09:36] it says this right before it does: [09:36] ActionParsnip1, any easy way to get it? [09:36] ioctl set picture failed: Device or resource busy [09:36] The 'outfmt' of 'Planar YV12' is likely not supported by your [09:36] Corey-Bear: No, only here [09:36] Soreau nvm then man thanks for the help [09:36] soreau: nice xsane works perfectly for me ! [09:36] sky_: Awesome [09:36] I guess I'm doomed when all people do is throw shit around and expect it to be translated [09:36] pfft [09:37] soreau: its very nice [09:37] any thoughts? [09:37] Ghoster: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [09:37] ActionParsnip1, your kidding right? its that easy?

[09:38] will lspci tell me the webcam I have installed? [09:38] soreau: on windows i had a bigger problems with drivers for Vista...and now on linux is very easy and very nice :)) [09:38] synisthetic: If you plug it in with usb, try 'lsusb' [09:38] Ghoster: its ubuntu, its made to be not hard [09:38] sky_: Glad to hear you have it working now [09:38] it's integrated, i don't know what bus it uses soreau [09:38] synisthetic: Ah [09:39] ill try both, thanks. hang on [09:39] ActionParsnip1, since ubuntu stole all of Debian's good programmers :P [09:39] how do i deejay via shoutcast using ubuntu 8.10 amd64?

[09:40] I'll google omnivision [09:40] soreau: mmm but i scanned it ..but i cant open it..because it say that i dont have permissions [09:40] Ghoster: i wouldnt know about that, nor do i care [09:40] sky_: Open what? [09:40] soreau: scanned pictures [09:40] does anyone know why after I reinstalled 8.10, I cant mount my backup drive? It's telling me I have no permission D: [09:40] the !shoutcast and !darkice tell me nothing :( [09:40] sky_: You didn't run xsane as root or with sudo, did you? [09:41] soreau: i run it as root [09:41] sky_: Don't do that :/ [09:41] sky_: Now you have to change the permissions of your picture folder back to user [09:41] soreau: yes it say me that is very dangerous but...hmm [09:41] sky_ just run everything as root [09:42] lol [09:42] Ghoster: no !

[09:43] *ssh [09:43] Okay guys, I am gonna launch into a schpiell here, so just bear with me. My problem is that I am lacking a proper video driver for my laptop: a Toshiba Satellite A355D series. The video card is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 X2 Hybrid. At this time, Ubuntu will boot, but leaves me in Terminal with no other amenities. Running Startx gives me an error. Recently, someone helped me to troubleshoot the problem, but now I need a bit of help finishi [09:44] soreau: i tought that if i not run xsane as root i will cannot scan [09:44] b4chip: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [09:44] b4chip: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start [09:44] soreau, ok i've xprop update-notifier as you told me, now what? [09:44] many thx guys [09:44] pastebin it? [09:45] sky_: Well now that you've already run it as root, you might not be able to run it as user because of permission problems. But you should always assume you can do anything as user unless you know exactly why you must be root to do it [09:46] soreau: i scan it again as user :D [09:47] <_Ester_> hola, hay alguien?

[09:52] ati+linux=fail :D [09:52] soreau: Well, I was sent the tar.gz by a friend who was helping me out earlier... [09:52] BlackAeronaut: Is that to say you have no internet on the problem box? [09:53] soreau: And Iǘe managed to get that tar file depackaged into the root directory. [09:53] soreau: Thatś right. I may be able to manually configure from Terminal, but only if that is not dependant on any graphical interface. [09:54] <_Ester_> Please, somebody can help me?

[10:04] i think youtube ? :) [10:04] is there any software in ubuntu that loads by default that might use the webcam and explain why I keep getting device or resource busy [10:04] "libv4l2: error requesting 4 buffers: Device or resource busy" is what I get whenever I try to use the webcam. I did add my user to the 'video' group so he can read/write to the device [10:05] <_Ester_> soreau: for example youtube [10:05] does anyone know how long the class tomorrow goes for in #ubuntu-classroom?

[10:07] _Ester_: Does it show when you type in the firfox browser bar about:plugins [10:07] test [10:08] aaa i had this problem in Kubuntu tooo but i dont remember how i fix it :X [10:08] <_Ester_> soreau: I tink it's all right [10:08] _Ester_: try to reinstall it ? [10:09] <_Ester_> sky_: how? [10:09] soreau: I just ran iwconfig and it looks like things on that end are already setup (thank God for small miracles). On that install guide, they have no instructions for Intrepid Ibex. Will the instructions for Hardy Heron work instead? [10:10] BlackAeronaut: Loosely, yes they should [10:10] soreau: Thanks again. [10:10] argh why does it seem like something is using my webcam [10:10] the light is on, too. [10:10] _Ester_: sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree* [10:10] _Ester_: and install it again :D [10:10] hey, my pidgin stopped working and I had to install a new version, so I downloaded the new version and tried to install it, and then I got some dependancy errors, now synaptic removed pidgin completely... and when I try to install the .deb file I get "Dependency is not satisfiable: libgadu3" any ideas? [10:10] <_Ester_> and for example, yesterday I wanted to buay something by the Internet, and the image that I had to click on didn't apear [10:11] <_Ester_> ok, I'm going to try it [10:11] is therea way to see what applications are using that devices? [10:11] I've tried to apt-get install libgadu3 but it says "libgadu3 is already the newest version" [10:11] *device [10:11] BlackAeronaut: I don't know if 'aticonfig --initial' is uptodate but as long as 'grep fglrx /etc/X11/xorg.conf' shows fglrx you should be good [10:12] MrPink08: the latest pidgin is on the repos [10:13] MrPink08: if you sudo apt-get update; apt-cache search pidgin [10:13] ActionParsnip1: i think he must remove old lib library ? [10:14] synisthetic: You can use lsmod to see which drivers are loaded.

[10:40] synisthetic: you can't mix packages from hardy and intrepid [10:40] _Ester_: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin [10:40] yeah you can even try for yourself, it SEEMS like the files are there but i dont know the subtle points of how a repo is supposed to be organized [10:40] oh [10:40] :( [10:40] ok never mind i found why this instalator dont works [10:40] synisthetic: check in system, administration, software sources.. there should be a drop down selector with some mirrors.

[10:42] marcusdavidus: odd.. wonder if it's some kind of feature of unetbootin.. [10:42] synisthetic: ah.. you're using a 3rd party repository [10:42] yeah because I tried installing the .deb and the result was not usable. it was missing something [10:42] I was hopign this repo had a more up to date version [10:42] the website for this tool is in french, I can't read it [10:42] babelfish makes no sense [10:43] ActionParsnip1: not rly debian by unetbootin dont mount all partitions on boot under cdrom when i boot him from hdd . anyway like i say nvm [10:43] marcusdavidus: how do you mean under cdrom?

[10:44] when I try using it with cheese I get "device or resource busy" but I can't find anything else using it [10:44] ActionParsnip1: he m,ount hdd partitoons as removable media not as hdd [10:44] mencoder just segfaults. [10:45] is why gpared see disk and instalator dont [10:45] synisthetic: nope.. googling for output from "lspci" or "lsusb" might get you some hits.. but that's about all the advice I have on webcams [10:45] synisthetic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [10:45] marcusdavidus: the drive shouldnt be mounted at all [10:45] I did that Slart thats how I got this far [10:45] Question: How do you manually add linux-restricted-modules-common to your repositories so you can apt-get it?

I can even get X to start at this time - Iḿ stuck in terminal so anything I do must be done manually.

[10:50] goblin: since the cd is already burned, you can probably just run the the verifier on the cd's menu [10:50] Slart: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 X2 on a Toshiba Satellite A355D series (AMD Turion X2 Ultra 64). [10:50] goblin: the burning process can also go awry, thats why the cd has a self test on the first screen, so you can double check that, if both pass, you can be 100% sure that any issues are not accreditted to the cd being bad [10:51] BlackAeronaut1: hmm.. ati can be tricky..even more so on a laptop... does a live cd boot alright?

It just seemed like my manpages couldn't update [11:32] personal preference [11:32] marcusdavidus: the official guides for ubuntu do it freely [11:32] anyone have any luck using kbarcode with a Zebra TLP 2844 printer.

[11:33] ActionParsnip1: ok if UBUNTU guide say it is ok but debian guide say diferent [11:33] marcusdavidus: how do you get "better" the dependancy list is part of the deb file which is read byboth apt-get and aptitude [11:33] hello, in the past i've started my vitrualbox with this command "VirtualBox-startvm vm_name". the command was executed and leave me again to the prompt. now when i execute the same command it stays like waiting and don't leve me to execute another commands from the rpompt. what is the reason for that? [11:33] marcusdavidus: ubuntu != debian [11:34] ActionParsnip1: ok i will not argue [11:34] marcusdavidus: aptitude has a little more functionality, like deborphan and apt-file all rolled into one [11:34] ActionParsnip1: OK i will not argue is pointless [11:34] ur win fin [11:34] true [11:34] anyone ? === numskul is now known as helix` [11:34] WeazelON: with what ?

[11:36] marcusdavidus: is there a command to clean logs down? [11:37] ActionParsnip1: ` logrotate? [11:37] marcusdavidus: Oh. So it was the logs?? Well I won't know since I `clean`'ed it. [11:37] aflag, I don't think you can without root account [11:37] riwa: u clean apt cashe not logs just check size of /var/log folder [11:37] marcusdavidus: But how can I re-write the manpages that weren't written [11:37] riwa woot?

After all, amarok just has to read the codecs from some directory. [11:39] ActionParsnip1: i setup apache + mysql to my friend and setup logrotate but later he fu up somethign with mysql logrotate script and after a year he got 65 gb of data [11:39] in /var/log/mysql [11:39] marcusdavidus: nice [11:39] marcusdavidus: /usr/bin/mandb: can't write to /var/cache/man/15844: No space left on device [11:39] :( [11:39] marcusdavidus: thats bigger than most of my hraddrives [11:39] installing uvc drivers didn't help [11:39] ActionParsnip1: he got dedicated server :P [11:39] marcusdavidus: And about 30 others [11:40] riwa: u need to make some space ^^ [11:40] now propably u will have problems with unisntall packages if u have no space on / [11:40] marcusdavidus: oh my file server has 1Tb so i dont need masses of space in my other machines [11:40] marcusdavidus: Now I do have space. My question is how do I write them? [11:40] aflag, I stand corrected, yes you can just use the add/remove to add the necessary codecs [11:41] hi [11:41] riwa: just reinstall package that make this man page [11:41] ubuntu fr?

I've looked all over in the amarok interface and I couldn't find it [11:42] propably anyway just reinstall package that u need man from [11:42] i have a microsoft lifecam, is it possible to get this to work under ubuntu and also puredata???

BUT when i try to boot in to the 'real' install: 'Error 17, cannot mount disk' . i followed this guide: htt [11:45] p://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html [11:45] gone to google [11:45] anyone know how to sync my nokia n95 with thunderbird? calender&contacts... prefer a local apps instlled so google isnt a option [11:45] couldn't I force another install which would also force all dependency downloads and configurations? [11:45] riwa: u need this man ? u will read it? [11:46] hi all [11:46] marcusdavidus: I don't know. But if I need it one day I'll regret I didn't fix it [11:46] riwa: then u reinstall package that is lack of man [11:46] ^^ [11:46] i have a small problem, i messed up vmware as i deleted the main folder because i paniked for lack of space (i know i know....) and now it won't uninstall, neither reinstall it :( [11:46] how can i clean it up? [11:47] hi, my mic working and all but then after i run the sound recorder it stopped.. any reasons why it stopped? [11:47] divXjunk: i'd just backup the data you need (and setting files) and do a clean install. What you are attempting is one of the primary reasons I despise wubi [11:47] rm [11:47] marcusdavidus: And like I said there were about 30 others, maybe for the java-re which I was downloading [11:47] divXjunk: it gets a whole world of messy and at the end of it i bet you get so frustrated you do a clean install [11:47] riwa: just rerun update or whatever uw as doing :P [11:48] and btw ppl im not ubuntu guru i just install it ^^ [11:48] How do I use the WOL feature of my computer?

[11:48] hi. i have a usb hard drive. i plugged it in and now i am trying to unmount it.. but it says its in use... i also tried sudo umount /media/drive but still the same.. how can i fix this? or maybe find out what processes still have a handle on the device [11:48] divXjunk: its going to involve making ISOs of your partitions on some media then using dd to copy the data from iso to partition in a lve cd environment [11:48] ActionParsnip1: I agree, in the guide is 'too good to be true' I feared that i needed a fresh installl. well thanx anyway!! [11:49] riwa: ye [11:49] divXjunk: it can be done, just depends ho complex your setup is right now. If its a simple desktop then just clean install, if there are servers with custom setups and custom compiled kernels to make hardware work it may be worth it [11:50] marcusdavidus: doesn't work. I guess I have to forget them... Bummer! [11:50] its complex, lots of programs added. compiled eggdrop in my home folder, have dual monitor setup....... multiple soundcards.....

[12:02] marcusdavidus : already installed [12:02] rgr when i try and select ubuntu from os choices menu i get hal.dll missing or something [12:03] libmoto find -flashplayer.so to .mozilla/plugins [12:03] TgWaKu: if you wipe all the ubuntu partitions, it will erase the data completely [12:03] i mean copy [12:03] TgWaKu: sounds like you are using NTLDR to boot [12:03] hi. i have a design pad (http://www.dealtime.co.uk/xPF-Trust-TB-7300-Wide-Design-Tablet) it seems that i have to configure the pen because it does not work perfectly. can someone give me a hint, how to configure itt?

[12:03] wtf [12:03] yeah right [12:03] when i select ubuntu [12:03] it says that [12:04] TgWaKu: thats because there is no grub to boot as you removed it [12:04] TgWaKu: did you install ubuntu with wubi? [12:04] i used a live cd [12:04] raven: what program are you trying to use it with? [12:04] the hdd i installed ubuntu to crashed [12:04] so i took it out [12:05] damn much to much ppl write aboute 10 diferent topics and im lost [12:05] TgWaKu: then you should have grub installed and the config will be reading from someplace else [12:05] !who | marcusdavidus [12:05] marcusdavidus: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[12:06] scunizi: ^^ [12:06] i've use fixboot and fixmbr commands [12:06] and it still shows ubuntu in the os choices [12:06] marcusdavidus: i finded the flashplayer.so to in ~.mozilla/plugins [12:06] TgWaKu: imho this is windows irc problem becosue this is not linux software [12:06] scunizi i try to use it in general... the pen works a bit but e.g. when i tap on it the cursos stands stil until i shortly lift it up a few centimeters.... [12:07] limboto: copy or link it to mozilla firefox yorprofile pliguins [12:07] i tryed doing the ubuntu install while in windows and it still has ubuntu in my add/remove programs list. but cannot remove it as it cant find the location [12:08] limboto: or uninstall flashplayer-nonfree and install adobe-flashplayer from repo [12:08] TgWaKu, using wubi? [12:08] i dont know what wubi is [12:09] ok, i will try one-by-one :) [12:09] just edit c:/boot.ini and remove what u dont want there [12:09] raven: if you read the wacom threads on ubuntuforums.org you'll see that sometimes the pen is in "mouse" mode and not "pen" mode. Most remedy's for pads come with some type of change in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Most programs (ie Inkscape, Gimp etc) also have their own internal setup for the tablet. [12:09] limboto: [12:09] TgWaKu, you installed ubuntu using a CD? [12:09] marcusdavidus: yes sir [12:10] yes [12:10] limboto: no i mean TgWaKu srry [12:10] if i open the network connection editor i have a tab for vpn but i cannot add/edit/anything there, why is that? [12:10] im damned confused [12:10] np, u wc [12:10] scunizi ok thanks for the hint - i'll try some changes [12:10] limboto: there is no boot.ini in on my E drive === arvind_k is now known as arvind_khadri [12:11] is hiden file [12:11] just make in explorer show hidden files [12:11] raven: good luck.. you might also look at www.google.com/linux and search for your tablet name/model + ubuntu and you might come up with some references. [12:11] TgWaKu, all windows have boot.ini its a hidden file in the root of the drive [12:11] hidden files and folders is set to show hidden files and folders [12:11] Darn, it looks like I just missed some information about Tablet PCs, no? That's exactly why I came on here, haha. [12:12] TgWaKu, show sytem files or something [12:12] * scunizi wonders why we're talking windows tech [12:13] scunizi, probably getting information to push to Linux's fstab or something. [12:13] Fizix: naw.. just talking graphics tablets. [12:13] ok got it [12:13] thanks itai [12:13] is there a way to edit my Google Calendar from Evolution? I am able to view it, but not modify it. [12:13] got boot.ini [12:13] has the line [12:13] c:\wubildr.mbr="Ubuntu" [12:13] Huufarted: hard to imaging why looking at boot.ini would help fstab [12:13] TgWaKu: so delete it [12:13] kk [12:14] scunizi, I'd imagine it's up to them to determine if it's important in the scheme of things. [12:14] azlon: no.. it will work with sunbird however. [12:14] Yea Vista gave me a System Event Notification Service error and after fruitless attempts to remedy the situation (killing other services related to it, restore points..) and caroozing forums, the apparent fix is nothing less than a format... [12:14] scunizi: thanks [12:14] ...after that, I decided to search for some Tablet support for Linux but so far haven't came up with anything yet. [12:14] Fizix, so you're just trying to find help with Windows? [12:14] ah, nvm [12:14] Huufarted: ahh.. looks like there talking wubi installs.. [12:14] No no, it was just a prelude to... yea you got it [12:14] Fizix, what do you have? [12:15] ok i think this is gonna work, im going to reboot and try install ubuntu again [12:15] scunizi, that makes sense. [12:15] Fizix: is it a tablet laptop or a graphics tablet? [12:15] * marcusdavidus MPD Elvenpath By Nightwish [12:15] thanks for all your help guys (and girls?) [12:15] Tablet Laptop, a Gateway [12:15] Fizix, model? [12:15] TgWaKu, how are you installing ubuntu? [12:15] Fizix: hmm not so sure about those sorry [12:15] TgWaKu: why u dont use cd ? [12:15] i am [12:15] scunizi: any way to merge Thunderbird and Sun Bird? [12:15] im installing off the live cd [12:15] if u need install from windows ( no cdrom drive) use unebtooin imho [12:15] azlon, 2 different products. [12:15] TgWaKu, according to the boot.ini you used wubi [12:16] azlon: there is the lightning extension for thunderbird which is sunbird inside thunderbird [12:16] That's the ONLY reason why I have this set to dual-boot w/ Vista is because I use it for school as a REAL notepad, haha. It's a C-140X [12:16] TgWaKu: why don't you *boot* from the cd and use the real installer instead of wubi? [12:16] azlon: yep.. it's called lightening.. and I think there's a add in for thunderbird to give you the "lightening" [12:16] because the cd was freezing [12:16] so i tryed the wubi [12:16] Fizix, have you tried running a Live CD on it? [12:16] it would get to six bars from the end and just freeze [12:16] TgWaKu, what are your specs? [12:17] TgWaKu: but wubi won't get you a real install [12:17] TgWaKu: it juse uses a file on the ntfs partition, which is slow [12:17] amd 4000+, 7800gt, 1gb ram [12:17] Fizix: if I were you I would try run a jaunty livecd on the laptop and see if that lets you use the tablet [12:17] yeah i told me that on the wubi [12:17] why do I get "Unable to create new X file" error message, when I try to save my x configuration ? [12:17] but i couldnt get the cd to work so... [12:17] Akkernight: using? [12:17] can anyone add a vpn in network connection editor? everything is greyed out here! [12:17] Akkernight: are you in Nvidia Settings? [12:17] Akkernight, use sudo before it [12:18] TgWaKu, ok, so probably the disc image was corrupted or a bad burn, either download a new CD or use unetbooting (similar to wubi but gives you a real install) [12:18] Huufarted & ziroday: I have not tried it. I have Ubuntu installed and it's working just peachy, I'm just looking for the "drivers" (if there is another Linux term for it, I apologize as I do not know it) for my tablet interface. It works just fine as a regular laptop now. [12:18] Yes I'm in Nvidia settings, how do I start it using sudo? [12:18] TgWaKu: use UNETBOOTIN [12:18] Fizix, drivers is still the appropriate term. [12:18] Akkernight: open terminal and type sudo nvidia-settings [12:18] Fizix, stand by. [12:18] unetbooting? brb google [12:18] TgWaKu, make sure you back up all important files on your windows partition before you do anything! [12:18] TgWaKu: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [12:19] ah cool live usb ubuntu [12:19] TgWaKu: it alow u to make bootable cdimage on hdd so u cann boot to live cd and normall install ubuntu [12:19] Fizix: most tablets use a wacom setup.. have you tried to google your model number and "ubuntu" at the end of the search string? you can't be the only one that's tried this. [12:19] TgWaKu: or intall live cd on usb if u want [12:19] cool [12:20] ok i'll try that [12:20] thanks [12:20] TgWaKu: but this only make u able to boot LIVE CD it do not install it [12:20] Fizix, confirmed. Yours does use a Wacom [12:20] oh, so i can't do a "real install" from it? [12:20] Scunizi: I've just been going through the Add/Remove list on Ubuntu as I'm not to savvy with the installs that normally require command-line stuff "sudo -apt get..." as I learned trying to install IBM's Linux C++ Compiler. [12:20] TgWaKu: and remmebr if u boot from hdd after u boot in to x unmount everything and then run install becosue instalator will dont see hdd [12:20] Fizix: the thing is tablet support in intrepid is somewhat broken. Trying a jaunty livecd to see if it fixes it might be helpful [12:20] Huufarted: Oh okay, thanks for the info. [12:21] TgWaKu: yes is how i install ubuntu today [12:21] Fizix, trying to find additional info for you. Hang on. [12:21] what is wrong with kwallet server? [12:21] TgWaKu: u can do REAL INSTALL from live cd ^^ unetbootint boot live cd form hdd so u need boot cd form hdd/usb by unetboooin then install like form cdrom [12:21] i have removed it a [12:21] Fizix: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25151 [12:21] TgWaKu, unetbootin is similar to wubi except it also allows you to partition the disc [12:22] ok [12:22] and i still am getting crapload of "starting kwallet server" [12:22] itai_michaelson: not rly [12:22] Hmm.. cant recall ever using unetbootin to install to a hard drive.. just to my usb-thumbdrive [12:22] Fizix: yea.. add/remove won't do it here.. you have to get your hands dirtly a little bit.. nice thing is editing a configuration file is easy IF you have the right info to put in it. Just make a backup of xorg before hand with (sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup) [12:22] removing kwalletserver [12:22] itai_michaelson: unetbootin alow u to make bootablle most of linux distro live cds :p [12:22] marcusdavidus, how not? [12:22] so u can install like from cdrom [12:22] but it still makes my system cry [12:23] Fizix, follow that link please. I think it's got the info you are looking for. [12:23] BuGo_laptop: are you running gnome and have kde libs loading that you don't want? [12:23] how can i stop something from starting this kwallet server? [12:23] scunizi, indeed [12:23] BRB, Google'ing as per Scunizi's suggestion, looking up "jaunty" as per ziroday, and checking the forum link from Huufarted.... thank you very, VERY much everyone. Again, BRB. [12:23] BuGo_laptop, sudo apt-get remove kwallet-server (if that's the name) [12:23] BuGo_laptop: do you want to get rid of all the kde stuff? [12:23] Huufarted, it is not helping [12:23] itai_michaelson: its simply move files from iso to hdd/usb then make grub or boot.ini entrys to boot in to it anf then uc an install like from real cdrom [12:23] BuGo_laptop, did it remove the application? === Fizix is now known as Fizix-BRB [12:23] marcusdavidus, ok, but i think that as far as TgWaKu is concerened the functions are similar... [12:24] scunizi, i dont want to get rid of all. [12:24] itai_michaelson: wubi install ubuntu on windows parition [12:24] Huufarted, yes i had ant it still shows "launching kwallet server" [12:24] itai_michaelson: is huge diferenc [12:24] diference [12:24] * [12:25] marcusdavidus i know,,,,the huge diffewrence is that it allows you to intstall ubuntu to the disc rather than to windows,,, [12:25] itai_michaelson: yes , and is works under linux too [12:26] BuGo_laptop: if you wanted a totally clean gnome system you could google "pure gnome" and you'd get a list of commands to "rid" yourself of kde stuff.. However, since you (like me) prefer some kde apps over gnome apps you just might be stuck with what you have.. Some of your programs might be dependant on kdewallet or other things [12:26] I'm currently having issues with authing on my mailserver - via webmail and also external mail clients ie. outlook, here is a snippet from the log file http://paste.ubuntu.com/133003/ [12:26] scunizi, :/ thats a sad story. since i like some KDE apps. [12:26] and konqueror asks for wallet all the time [12:27] marcusdavidus, i actually dont understand why would anyone use wubi if unetbooting exist ... [12:27] Does anybody know of any free programs for designing/drawing hardware infrastructure? [12:27] BuGo_laptop: yes konqueror is one of the offenders for wallet. [12:27] Ronald_: like a cad program? [12:27] scunizi, and right now i have like 8 icons showing "Launching kwallet server" [12:27] haha [12:28] itai_michaelson: but u know u can do the same without using unetbooin ^^ is quitte easy to boot linux cds from boot.ini [12:28] Ronald_: blender? [12:28] itai_michaelson is much harder to boot windows cd from grub [12:28] BuGo_laptop: now that's weird.. have you asked in #kubuntu? [12:28] not yet [12:28] scunizi, ziroday I need to do a presentation on our planned server infrastructure. I'd like to design something like this: http://media.photobucket.com/image/server%2Binfrastructure/jpaloma/Docs/DMZ-basedMailSecuritySolutions.jpg [12:29] Ronald_: perhaps Dia or semantiK? [12:30] Ronald_: but really any graphics app will do [12:30] ziroday, okay I'll take a look. Thanks! [12:30] how to add CA cert to gnutls trusted certs? [12:31] Ronald_: there is a cross platform "Mind Mapping" software that does stuff like this.. Dia may fit your need and there's others. the one I"m thinking of is on my other machine that I can't get to right now.. name starts with an x though. [12:31] * marcusdavidus afk [12:31] scunizi: freemind? [12:31] Does anyone know of any music player with a "play random albums" feature lika amarok has? [12:32] ziroday: freemind is another Ronald_ but wasn't what I was thinking of. [12:32] hello to everyone === [1]sLaeYa is now known as sLaeYa [12:33] Ronald_: google XMind.. that's the one I was thinking of.. [12:33] Tmi: wouldn't that just be playing random music? [12:33] hi, i got the task to upgrade an old ubuntu edgy server to hardy, and as this is an old installation i would like to know what i need to consider when i want to upgrade the system? [12:33] how do I configure a guest session on 8.10 so the changes persist between reboots [12:33] !upgrade | bayer [12:33] bayer: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [12:33] bayer, i think you are looking at a reinstall [12:33] ziroday, no, the feature selects a random album, plays all tracks on it, and then selects a new random album [12:33] bayer: you will need to go through feisty, then gusty and then to hardy. It may be easier to reinstall [12:34] Tmi: ah, sorry misunderstood [12:34] a great feature with amarok, but I'd rather have something gtk [12:34] good morning [12:34] user296: the guest session is not able to do that AFAIK. You might want to create a new user instead [12:35] can anyone point me to some documentation for enterprise rollout of the ubunbtu client [12:35] bayer: ziroday is right .. it might be less time consuming to reinstall.. however it's easy to reinstall if /home is on a seperate partition. If this is an apache server then you'd want to backup /var/www and /etc/apache2 amoung other things. [12:35] ubuntu cliennt? [12:35] lmnop90210: how big are you talking? [12:35] clienT*? [12:35] talking 100K PCs [12:35] lmnop90210: err and you're doing this yourself? [12:36] no- [12:36] I am a Director for a large defense contractor [12:36] lmnop90210: for such a large deployment you might want to get a canonical support package [12:36] we are working a project to put together a ROM [12:37] //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, [12:37] scunizi, i think its not only apache running there, but i think i'll simply reinstall the system... [12:37] lmnop90210: I doubt this channel can help much with such large deployments. You _might_ get some better results in #ubuntu-server [12:37] ziroday- thanks [12:37] lmnop90210: but I would recommend you talk to canonical [12:38] I just spent the past 5 minutes trying to figure out what 'lmnop' stood for... *sigh* it's early. [12:38] roger that [12:38] lmnop90210→ here is a list of your options: http://ubuntu.com/support [12:38] lol === star is now known as Guest26912 [12:38] have a great day folks [12:38] Hello [12:38] Hey folks. Is there a way to have 2 screens, 2 keyboards and 2 mouses connected to a single computer, and simulate having 2 seperate desktops? [12:38] Is there any arabic rooms ??? [12:38] bayer: if it's non critical.. /var/www will hold the current web page(s) that are being served.. if php is installed or mysql that's another matter. [12:39] !arabic | abdo222 [12:39] abdo222: For Arabic language support, please : /join #ubuntu-arabic : للحصول على الدعم باللغة العربية [12:39] s3r3n1t7, 2 keyboards, 2 mice? No. [12:39] s3r3n1t7: yes.. I've seen several writeup about doing that.. mostly it's in conjunction with an educational institution.. [12:39] scunizi, multiple keyboards on the same PC? [12:40] Huufarted, just stick in 2 usb keyboards, that isnt the prob [12:40] s3r3n1t7: you can actually have several monitors, keyboards, mice etc.. [12:40] scunizi, yes, i think i can handle that - thanks! [12:40] dan terrorists [12:40] s3r3n1t7: all for different users. [12:40] damn* [12:40] s3r3n1t7, if you stick in 2 USB keyboards, they both get used. AFAIK. Listen to scunizi, he's apparently seen it in the wild. [12:40] bayer: np [12:41] interesting setup, I'll say. I'd like to know the name of it. [12:41] scunizi, that's kind of what i'm looking for yeah. But the main problem that i haven't found a way to get the mouse "jailed" to a desktop. But i think the thing you suggested about the educational use is what i'm looking for. Do you have any links to refer? [12:41] Looks like I may need to restat; be back soon [12:41] ok, Fizix [12:42] hello can any1 tell me what do i use dmesg|grep bttv for ? [12:42] s3r3n1t7: so far I've only found one link but haven't really looked.. http://sourceforge.net/projects/slim [12:42] artemis, if you type dmesg, it shows you the hardware boot process during your last boot up [12:42] artemis: to find the string 'bttv' in your kernel boot log. [12:42] artemis: you search dmesg for the bttv string? [12:42] artemis, the | grep part means that it's only going to display any lines that have bttv in it [12:43] so if i have this msg : [ 12.692465] bttv: Bt8xx card found (0). [12:43] does it mean that card is found ? [12:43] 999 [12:43] scunizi, i've done some searching, but i'm not really epic with formulating a good search string for it, google doesn't seem to like me today. Let me see what that turns up [12:43] will the settings be saved? if i'm running from a 2gig usb? [12:43] AHAHAHAHA [12:43] I'm gonna get banned for that. [12:44] ik: do you have something we can help you with? [12:44] ziroday: no, did you see all those weechat users quit? [12:44] so if i have this msg : [ 12.692465] bttv: Bt8xx card found (0). does it mean that card is found? [12:44] artemis: looks like it [12:44] Any ops that can take care of ik?

It might be what i'm lookin for [12:56] When I try to boot my Windows through grub the computer just restarts itself, any help? :/ [12:56] Huufarted, probably bring em up [12:56] s3r3n1t7, i really dont see how that is going to work. It might be an idea to get a real cheap desktop like a dumb terminal kinda thing, and hook that up to the main machine as an x server [12:56] DUDAS: ensure that the proper kernel modules are loaded.

[12:59] justin: Use force quit? [13:01] Hi everyone [13:01] limboto: I cannot view that stuff either. I may try the SWF or something else [13:02] limboto: have you installed flash? [13:02] limboto: vigo install flash non-free.. it's in the repos [13:02] vigo: yes already installed [13:02] I have a Problem with Ubuntu: the problem happened after i had to reinstall windows xp, after that I cant boot to ubuntu 8.10, it says: Error 17: cant mount partition [13:02] !grub | gabriel_ [13:02] gabriel_: 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 [13:02] limboto: Try Gnash [13:02] limboto: sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree [13:02] what should i get when i'm using sudo modprobe videodev?? [13:02] limboto: then restart ALL firefox sessions [13:03] DUDAS: probably an issue with default routing when both interfaces are active. could you pastebin your routing table (get that through "sudo /sbin/route -n") and the output of /sbin/ifconfig for both interfaces? [13:03] no, no [13:03] I tried with Super Grub Disk and it didnt work [13:03] !paste > DUDAS [13:03] DUDAS, please see my private message [13:03] vigo: limboto if you have more than one flash player installed at one time you're looking for conflict. [13:03] DUDAS: no? [13:03] i can get both interfaces actives [13:04] DUDAS: right, and it would be useful to see what the routing table looks like when you've got both running. [13:04] what should i get when i'm using sudo modprobe videodev?? [13:04] scunzi: Yes, that is what I am working on now, figuring out the repos that need to be rid of and which to keep.

[13:04] gah [13:04] is there a mozilla distobution list that I can add to my sources.list to get the newest Mozilla updates? [13:04] dont ban him [13:04] question: unable to get sound while online [13:04] hi, i installed ubuntu 8.04 LTS....but many software isn's available in latest versions...should i update to 8.10? [13:04] in my synaptic manager : gnash, gnash-common, mozilla-plugin-nash [13:04] vigo: unless you added a bunch, you shouldn't need to get rid of any [13:05] Hello everyone [13:05] Another problem is that I have 2 ubuntu partitions an i would like to get rid of one because it is an Ubuntu 8.04 partition, how can I do that? [13:05] artemis: nothing on the console, if all goes well, but have a look at dmesg and your other logs. [13:05] DUDAS, hey man use pastebin [13:05] and adobe flashplugin [13:05] all above installed [13:05] hahahahaha [13:05] !paste | DUDAS [13:05] DUDAS: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [13:05] limboto: not good [13:05] as you can see, eth0 hasn't got an ip [13:05] Paddy_EIRE, it's a temp ban by floodbot, it'll auto unban ... it's so if someone posts a huge amount of text, the buffer which holds it is empty and he doesn't continue spamming. [13:05] limboto, is it 'flashplugin-nonfree' ? [13:05] gabriel_: simply upgrade the older install, i think [13:06] scunzi: I think I added the non-free and the GNU ones, I wish to be rid of the non-free or proprietary ones. [13:06] ah I see smart [13:06] :) [13:06] sipior, thx :) [13:06] can i have problems after updating to 8.10? [13:06] Is it possible ubuntu or software on ubuntu corrupts/destroy the BIOS of a laptop? [13:06] if i select wifi.... i get ip in etho and lost ip in eth1 [13:06] scunizi: which good? [13:06] anyone know how to fix the no audio while online problem with linux [13:06] I need to select a certain range of times in a folder of security video. The format is like this MM-DD-YY-HH-MM-SS.avi. How would I go about moving a certain range (say between 08-00-00 - 16-30-00) to another folder? [13:06] Steffann, no [13:06] hmm [13:06] Steffann, unless you done something more specific [13:06] vigo: you'll have better results getting rid of gnash.. but either way is easy..just use synaptic to uninstall what you don't want. [13:06] DUDAS: actually, i didn't see it, because you got kicked by the Paste Bot :-) could you use a pastebin? check out the link ubottu sent you previously [13:06] I'm getting a "paper size mismatch" error. In windows I can disable the paper sensor in control panel. How do I do this in Linux? I'm using the right size. I just need to force this to print [13:07] how to see the differences between two files ? [13:07] Huufarted : flashplugin-nonfree not installed yet [13:07] limboto: flashplugin-nonfree [13:07] scunizi, no [13:07] limboto, install that one. You can use the terminal if you want: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [13:07] scunzi: That sounds wise. [13:07] maxagaz: diff -u [13:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/133017/ [13:07] anxiolytic: did you just install a pringer? [13:07] *printer? [13:07] Paddy_EIRE, i didn't do anything. But maybe some software that runned as root? [13:07] limboto, use adobe-flashplugin as the other is crashy as all hell [13:07] DUDAS, I'm sorry but that really did make me laugh. [13:07] Steffann, not a chance mate [13:08] scunizi: no, it worked sometimes, not always. I think it depends on the app. OO doesn't work [13:08] and others plugin like gnash etc will removed? [13:08] DUDAS: so, eth0 is active, but has no address assigned. were you using dhcp or so? [13:08] that make me cry :-( [13:08] limboto, if it says it will remove them, then it will do just that. [13:08] under kernel 2.6.24-23 i havn't problems with skystar2...sould i have some when i update from 8.04 to 8.10? [13:08] anxiolytic: most likely your paper size is defaulted at A4 and you need Letter or vice versa.. you can configure it in cup at http://localhost:631 [13:08] limboto, besides... those ones aren't working, right? [13:08] My problem is.. i have a laptop with a broken bios, they replaced the motherboard. After that i runned ubuntu once, after that the bios was destroyed agian [13:08] hello good morning all, pls I am trying to install xdebug on my ubuntu server. I have done successfully sudo pecl install xdebugsudo pecl install xdebug and now, doing sudo gedit /etc/php/apache2/php.ini gives me a non command found error [13:08] what do I do? [13:09] use an editor other than gedit ? [13:09] why am i unable to get audio online after playing music in rhythembox [13:09] scunizi: woah, 8 years on Linux and I never knew cups had an interface [13:09] fantastic [13:09] thanks! [13:09] which editor? [13:09] limboto: you have to remove gnash etc yourself [13:09] limboto, go to "System > Administration > Software Sources" then go to 3rd party tab and enable/tick the partners repository.. once dont quit software sources and reload your package list.. then do "sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin" [13:09] and what command do i type? [13:09] XxGoldxX: ususally you can play only 1 audio source at time [13:09] limboto, also remove any other flash installs such as gnash [13:09] kokou, try sudo nano instead of sudo gedit [13:09] anxiolytic: np.. :)) [13:09] ok [13:10] so it is impossible ubuntu destroys my BIOS.. thanks [13:10] in this time i can view this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8 the others i cant view [13:10] limboto, as I said already [13:10] ok, i will try it [13:10] ok but im not playing anything in rythembox now and i am unable to hear any audio from an online source [13:11] limboto, also close your browser as it obviously is not going to work if you leave it open the whole time while installing [13:11] hola que tal necesito ayuda [13:11] Steffann: destroys your BIOS? no, i very much doubt it. [13:11] How would I go about moving a certain range of times (say between 08-00-00 - 16-30-00) to another folder. The format is MM-DD-YY-HH-MM-SS.avi [13:11] hmm....maybe rhythmbox is only paused, and occupies still the audio device? if you close it, can you hear sound [13:11] hello [13:11] !es | raton [13:11] raton: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es.

[13:11] limboto, are you doing as I said? [13:12] !sound [13:12] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [13:12] Steffann, I never said it was not [13:12] i have an net icon on the upper right side of my screen (something like in windows) if i click there i can select wire lan or wireless lan [13:12] hey. Does anyone know how to install OO 3 on ubuntu? [13:12] Steffann, did you flash your bios in ubuntu? [13:12] Steffann: it is sometimes.. but you have to do it on purpose not by accident. [13:12] Is there a way to get a new login in a windows to login remotly to my other machine ? (not remote desktop bu through gdm or X11) [13:12] and a Virus cannot do it..? [13:12] BeCreative: google does. [13:12] scunizi: (ignore PM, accident) what's the default login? [13:12] if i selegt wire lan, eth0 gets an ip and works fine in thtat lan [13:12] (one of the few virusses for ubuntu) [13:12] Steffann, listen mate ubuntu wont do anything to your bios nor a virus [13:12] myth88: its closed and still no sound online [13:13] Steffann: in linux? highly unlikely [13:13] hmm [13:13] hmmm... [13:13] !sound [13:13] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [13:13] iif i select wireless lan eth1 gets ip and works fine too [13:13] so [13:13] so? [13:13] DUDAS: you're using network manager, then? [13:13] i need work in both lan at the same time [13:13] anxiolytic: for the cups interface.. I've never had it ask me.. I'd imaging your normal creds. [13:13] yes i thik so [13:13] *imagine [13:14] limboto, well? [13:14] not yet [13:14] ah well that would be your solution [13:15] frozen when i open youtube [13:15] limboto, did you even do what I said [13:15] otherwise stop going on about youtube [13:15] :/ [13:15] :) [13:15] hello, my php.ini is a shortcut, how do I access and edit it? /etc/php/apache2/php.ini [13:16] kokou, you mean a link? [13:16] I wonder if someone could help me resolve a couple of errors? they just randomly showed up when I turned my computer on.... [13:16] scunizi: ok, had to edit permissions in etc/cups/cupsd.conf - thanks again [13:16] ls -l /etc/php/apache2/php.ini [13:16] kokou: sudo gedit /etc/php/apache2/php.ini [13:16] I used nano to edit the file [13:16] !flashplugin [13:16] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [13:16] kokou: sudo updatedb.... locate php.ini [13:16] but when I used ftp to locate the file, it refers to a shortcut [13:16] DUDAS: multi-interface support is not great using network manager at the moment. in fact, i'm not even sure it is possible under 8.10, although it apparently is using the version that will be installed with 9.04. is this a long-term interface (one that won't be activated and deactivated constantly)? [13:16] the first is.... [13:16] limboto, ? [13:16] An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for Encryption Key Agent (Seahorse). Some of your configuration settings may not work properly. [13:16] * macman is there anyway to view what is inside of a .tar.gz without extracting it ? [13:17] yes Paddy [13:17] anxiolytic: np.. I've never seen the cups interface lock a user out.. but glad you got in.. [13:17] kokou, ftp may be showing its a link to the actual file.. 'shortcuts' are windows terms.. [13:17] limboto, well? [13:17] ah ok sorry :} [13:17] macman: yeah, check out the "-t" switch for tar [13:17] macman: tar --list file.tar [13:17] dr_willis: what do I do then?

I have found the -o allow_other switch, but it allows ALL users on the system FULL access to the mount. Without it though, EVERY other user is cut out from the mount, even if they are in the group specified by the -o gid=1000 switch. How can I selectively share an sshfs mount? [13:19] so you recomend update to ubuntu 9.04? [13:19] limboto, and you removed gnash and flashplugin-nonfree [13:19] kokou, try 'cat /etc/php/apache2/php.ini' and see if theres anytyhing in it.. if its empty then its empty. find a example one. and use it for a template I guess [13:19] others plugins removed [13:19] hey all .. i went to gconf-editor and i enabled desktop icons etc .. for some reason they aren't showing .. any ideas ?

[13:21] dr_willis: that is hte result [13:21] Guest92452: there is no such thing as a rescue cd in linux.. that's a windows gimic.. the live cd IS your rescue cd.

[13:26] is there and remote support tool for ubuntu like DameWare og TeamViewer? [13:26] Guest92452, there are minimnal live cd's that run totally in ram and free up the drive.

[13:28] or anyone for that matter.... [13:29] how to copy folder and paste using gnome with permission [13:29] sipior, thanks [13:29] Flynsarmy: it just means that you have something in there that has it's permissions messed up.. you can drag out the trash to your desktop and give the files/folders new permissions or.. use gksudo nautilus and delete directly [13:29] Ubuntu_noob: sorry, not sure i follow. why do you want to remove these drivers?

When I go to the screen resolution apllication, it does not give me an option to rotate the screen (it only has one option, None). Does anyone know how I can enable screen rotation? [13:32] sipior: i wasn't ... i wanted to install drivers first [13:32] Kingsy101, I dont know.. without knowing the changes you made it would require mind reading [13:32] :/ [13:33] How would I be able to give it more than 1 directory to compare ? Such as if I wanted it to scan 2 externals for the same files? all I see is "fdupes options directory" [13:33] Ubuntu_noob: okay, but you've done that already. so what exactly is the problem? you mentioned you were hearing sounds from the card. what program was controlling that? [13:33] Paddy_ERIE - isnt there a log or soemthing that can be read to see whats causing the problem? because I cant remember... [13:33] hmm [13:33] im tryin to get ssh workin on my dell mini 9. ive already got 1 server setup fine with publickeyauth as "yes" and pub key added. but this ubuntu hardy on this mini isnt having it. keeps askin for the password..

[13:34] deany: try "ssh-copy-id", it's quite handy [13:34] SHIT, sorry ppl [13:34] hello [13:34] funkyHat, thats the thing, i cant... keeps askin for the password, even when i try ssh-copy-id [13:35] sipior, i installed tvtime and it said tvtime requires hardware YUY2 overlay support from your video card ............ so i installed this package to autoinstall it, i rebooted the system and i heard sound from startup [13:35] ive even set the config to pubkeyauth NO, still wont accept the password.. [13:35] Paddy_ERIE - anyways lol those are the detauls of the error if that helps at all? [13:35] BigMoopies, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-find-duplicate-copies-of-files-using-fdupes-in-ubuntu.html [13:35] sorry again for flooding there [13:35] deany: does it give an error about the key if you connect with ssh -v? [13:35] deany: you must generate the key pair on the client, then you ssh-copy-id to copy the public key to the server [13:35] Kingsy101: no worries, accidents happen :-) [13:35] Kingsy101, I will have a search about.. I cant remember specifically which logs should be looked at [13:35] sipior: without turning tvtime on.... and tvtime still doesn't work :/ [13:36] deany: so type the password and then it will put the key in the right place, then next time you won't have to type the password... [13:36] i have keys already generated on this machine, i use it to ssh to another machine already setup.. [13:36] Paddy_EIRE, but how would I make it scan both of my externals ? fdupes -r /media/My_Book /media/My_Book2 ? [13:36] Ubuntu_noob: but the sounds you're hearing are from the tv tuner? or just static? [13:36] its not accepting the password.. the pass is right. [13:36] Paddy_EIRE, Or just give it /media/ and let it go wild ? [13:36] BigMoopies, oh I see [13:36] hmm [13:36] deany: try looking in /var/log/auth.log on the server [13:36] Kingsy101: we have you in our profile book now. Pics, finger prints, and ssh keys.. any more messing around and we'll be forced to give you 30 lashes with a wet spagetti noodle. [13:36] sipior static, and when i use rmmod bttv sound stops [13:36] BigMoopies, that would take a while but yes you could do that [13:36] lol [13:37] Ubuntu_noob: does the card also have an FM tuner on it? [13:37] sipior: yes [13:37] sipior: yes it does [13:37] Paddy_EIRE, Just give it /media/ ? [13:37] Kingsy101, hehe.. do you have an attached NFS filesystem that perhaps did not shutdown correctly? [13:37] yes [13:37] as I said it may take a while depending on size :/ [13:38] Paddy_EIRE, My_Book is 320 , My_Book1 is 160 , and the other drive is 360 [13:38] Kingsy101, or a windows partition that is mounted on boot up that did not close down properly?

[13:39] Ubuntu_noob: you can specify options for the module in /etc/modprobe.d/. there must be an option to disable the tuner; check the driver documentation for help here.

[13:45] i just install ubuntu 8.10 from cd [13:45] hey all [13:45] quelqu' un [13:45] one two three [13:45] I was curious what people' [13:45] fabien_, #ubuntu-fr [13:45] hi [13:45] I was curious what was peoples opinions on downloading and installing all updates that update manager alerts you to [13:45] how i can protect my exe programs from infection ? [13:45] i mean virus infection [13:45] limboto, could you open up synaptic package manager and search for "flash" and tell me what is installed [13:45] comment allez vous ?? [13:46] ok [13:46] sky_, linux has no viruses [13:46] unr3a1, do so [13:46] I'm trying to install Acetone Iso but it says that it can't satisfy certain dependencies. I then apt-get the dependencies that it needs but to no avail. Has anyone tried to install acetoneiso? [13:46] please wait [13:46] unr3a1, they are there for your benefit [13:46] Paddy_EIRE, I see with either one , it's gonna take about 4hours probably [13:46] sky linux two oue [13:46] O_O [13:46] I personally update everything that that is available in update manager, but a friend and I were debating and he was taking that windows ideology of only downloading and updating what you need. [13:46] Vonor: linux not but viruses can infect executable files -> and wine dont know what is and what is not virus [13:46] sky_, and even if, per default you don't have write permissions on the binaries, unless you work as root (which you shouldn't), so even if viruses existed, they couldn't infect your files [13:46] unr3a1: generally you want all updates, unless you have a good reason not to. [13:46] BigMoopies, hell man.. is there no way to filter it down any.. I mean which type of file are you most interested in finding duplicates of? [13:47] quelqu' un parle francais ???? [13:47] nono guys you dont understand :) [13:47] wmv, mp4, avi [13:47] unr3a1, which is a faulty logic.. [13:47] fabien_, /join #ubuntu-fr [13:47] unr3a1: also, the windows ideology hasn't exactly done wonders for system security, so i'd generally recommend avoiding it :-) [13:47] unr3a1, tell your friend to keep his broken philosophy to himself [13:47] :) [13:47] hi [13:47] so anyone can help me ? [13:48] !anyone [13:48] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [13:48] sky, what do you care if the one program you run in wine is infected? it can't infect files outside the wine session... :) [13:48] so you ppl do kick others out,right? [13:48] have a nice day [13:48] sky_, we answered. [13:48] Paddy_EIRE: Thats what I thought. I always updated everything, but he was yelling at me that I shouldn't and thought I would get professional opinions... thank you for proving me right to my friend. :) [13:48] sky two [13:48] no [13:48] hehao: Please stay on topic, this is a support channel.

[13:48] my WoW got infected by Parite.B virus...and i cant run it [13:48] sky_: haha. nice. [13:49] Paddy : just adobe-flashplugin installed [13:49] is there any command line tool for linux that can zip, rar or 7-zip files that supports creation of a multi-part archive (part1.zip part2.zip etc) [13:49] scm: you dont understand [13:49] non , sms [13:49] Vonor: it may still provide a remote shell etc.. [13:49] the point is somebody kicked me out without warning.. [13:49] Vonor: wine isn't any sort of security jail [13:49] sky_: if you're running exe's in wine you may be subject to virus's only in those exe's. however I'm not sure if even clamav that Vonor suggests will protect anything that is running in wine.. you might consider using virtual box and loading a full windows environment with avg or whatever and running your programs from there. [13:49] i have a problem. with picasa and ubuntu. i cant read my menu. and in other wine applications,too. know somebody how i can fix this [13:49] sky_, replace it with an uninfected version or see if clamav or any other anti virus tool can fix it...or simply install anti virus soft in wine and let it do the check [13:50] BigMoopies, can you not explicitly tell that fslint app to only look for files of that type then.. perhaps that will cut the search time right down? [13:50] sky_: if the exe's aren't accessing the internet then you should be pretty protected without anything. [13:50] what directory are apps install to? [13:50] Multiple monitor question for somebody. Laptop + external monitor. Monitor is physically to the LEFT of the laptop and the Monitor Resolution Settings reflect this. Primary display is defaulting to that external monitor. I suspect this is because it's the left monitor. Is there a way to force the primary display to the laptop's built in screen? [13:50] bin?

ATI I'm not good with and on an iMac... well that really shouldn't make a difference. Did you look in System>Admin>Hardware Drivers to see if there was anything waiting to be activated?

[13:58] Huufarted: no.. randr or xrandr is the system that pretty much controls video now in the backend.. that's why xorg.conf looks so empty. there are commands to set one monitor right or left of "whatever" [13:59] Can I remove linux-image-2.6.27-13-generic if I am using the newest kernel now?

Its possible that your reboot wasn't clean and Vista set the dirty bit.

I have removed mine in the past without problems. [14:03] archman: and now that I think of it, I dont remember if I had to remove the entry out of grub. [14:03] unr3a1: ok, thanks! ;) [14:03] being bilingual is nice :) [14:03] archman: np [14:03] fu ...in virus [14:04] sky_, what? [14:04] hi how do i set up php, apache, and mySQL with Ubuntu from the shell in command line? [14:04] Does anyone know how to make key-combos to control e.g. spotify while playing a game? [14:04] blazak, did you read the documentation? [14:04] or if there are some already? [14:04] or google? [14:04] Transmission tells me that Port 51413 is closed, I have opened the port on the router, any ideas? [14:04] blazak: sudo apt-get install apache php5 mysql-server [14:05] mattgyver83, try telling transmission to forward the port [14:05] mattgyver83, yeah.. open the port on your router like it says [14:05] The Makings Of A Wild Night [14:05] unr3a1, linux-headers are safe to remove too? [14:05] thanks GunbladeIV [14:05] As far back as I can remember, I have always loved bras. [14:05] I did that, Its set for dynamic though, should i just forward it to a specific machine? [14:05] blazak: i think you might need to change apache to apache2 [14:05] I used to look in catalogs at the bras. [14:05] !ops | ubuntu72 trolling [14:05] ubuntu72 trolling: Help! Channel emergency!

In fact, I love panties and slips. [14:06] lol :DD [14:06] what id ubuntu72 talking about [14:06] lol [14:07] moving on [14:07] has anyone compiled their own kernel with Ubuntu? I'm on 8.04 and I used to use archlinux. My first step would be "zcat /proc/config.gz" but it seems that that option is unavailable to me. How do I get the default kernel .config? [14:07] yeah [14:07] Chowder: check /boot [14:07] Chowder: i have [14:07] Chowder: do you mean custom compile kernel? [14:07] Chowder: have a look at /boot/config-2.6.xx-xx-generic and the like [14:07] GunbladeIV, precisely [14:07] ok i am stop playing WOW [14:07] mattgyver83, give your torrent box a static IP [14:07] Chowder, use the older kernel's .config [14:07] blazak: instead of installing all packages seperately, you can also use the tasksel interface [14:08] I actually want to compile the kernel so that I can use ext4 [14:08] blazak: "sudo tasksel install lamp-server" should do [14:08] Paddy_EIRE, just did and it works, thank you. [14:08] Chowder: give me 5 sec.. need to revise [14:08] np === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [14:08] Chowder: don't like modules? :P [14:08] Seriously guys, I miss Half Life 2, can anyone help me getting my grub to work? ): [14:08] oh wow. [14:08] archman: it should be safe to remove linux headers, but I have never personally done so, so I cannot vouch for that [14:08] mattgyver83, :) [14:08] !grub | natsukashi [14:08] natsukashi: 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 [14:09] cast, nah, its that when I upgrade to a later version of Ubuntu compiz stops working. My graphics card was blacklisted. [14:09] arvind_khadri: Yeah. I've followed all of those tutorials [14:09] ah. [14:09] It still doesn't work [14:09] i see you problem [14:09] hi [14:09] natsukashi, what error do you get? [14:09] !hi | corazon [14:09] corazon: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [14:09] corazon: please don't talk about bras again [14:10] thank goodness Sun suffering is almost over, taken over by IBM [14:10] arvind_khadri: Whenever I try to boot Windows the computer just restarts. [14:10] i need talk with you [14:10] n8tuserf: really? [14:10] unr3a1: ok, I'm rebooting now. [14:10] n8tuserf: #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support things please. [14:10] im cecy [14:10] still wont play nice (ssh). Permission denied (publickey,password). passwordauthentication is hashed out, pubkeyauth is enabled.. why wont it accept the users password? [14:10] corazon: this is for ubuntu support only [14:10] rrr [14:10] corazon: no other discussion - not Bra's or anything [14:10] no about bra again [14:11] i only play [14:11] natsukashi, hmm you would have to go to ##windows for that [14:11] corazon: - you don't play here, you can ask about ubuntu support only [14:11] corazon, what is your support question? [14:11] deany: wait, you said that passwordauthentication is off? [14:11] corazon you waste ikonia's time :P [14:11] corazon, if you have none then please move along [14:11] sipior, ive enabled it as well, wont accept. [14:11] should php just work now? or is there more configuration involved? [14:11] archman: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/10/17/remove-ubuntu-kernels-you-dont-need/ [14:11] arvind_khadri: Irc channel? On what server in that case? [14:12] natsukashi, on freenode only [14:12] deany: have you verified that you can use this login from the terminal? [14:12] i have the thing next to me [14:12] :) [14:12] Is there a way to run a specific command in the background if someone fails to login 5 times in a row? [14:12] its only a dell mini 9.. with hardy [14:12] Chowder: what do you request earlier? [14:13] riwa, interesting question. Sounds like someting you would have to script [14:13] is it maybe because the password is short? (4 letters) [14:13] deany: can you pastebin your sshd config? suitably sanitised, of course... [14:13] I have a packard bell easynote E6100, when i try to boot into LiveCD mode, X starts, the orange background comes up, then it freezes. CD passes integrity check [14:13] its default config..... not touched anything. [14:13] GunbladeIV, I wanted to know how to get the default kernel configs for Ubuntu and how to custom compile the Linux kernel under Ubuntu. [14:13] Chowder: Yeah, but there must be some handler for "failing login" right? [14:13] except to test password/pubkey [14:13] deany, that doesnt matter in your case, as i used to keep single letter passwords while installation [14:13] riwa, I'm not too sure. That's over my head I'm afraid [14:14] riwa: yes, have a look at the documentation for pluggable authentication modules (PAM) [14:14] !kernel | Chowder configs are under /boot/ [14:14] Chowder configs are under /boot/: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [14:14] Chowder: try this tutorial http://blog.gunbladeiv.com/2008/05/ubuntu-kernel-2625-on-hardy.html might help you a bit [14:14] sipior: ok, thanks [14:14] how i can set owners to me to new ext3 partition ? [14:14] sky_: man chown [14:14] deany: you've verified that you can log in to the machine from the console. do other logins exhibit the same problem? [14:15] GunbladeIV, thanks. I rolled my own under archlinux but its very different from Ubuntu. [14:15] yup.. slight differ [14:15] unr3a1: everything went smooth, entries removed automatically. I left the last one, just for the case the new doesn't work well ;) [14:15] archman, best way [14:15] no... ive setup a virtualbox hardy and that works ok [14:15] Chowder: actuall current config located in /boot/config`uname -r` [14:15] cast: can you say me correct - > full command ? [14:15] Paddy_EIRE: sure! ;) [14:15] deany: was that directed towards me, or? [14:15] GunbladeIV, got it [14:15] archman: awesome. sweet deal [14:16] tnx [14:16] np === pretto_ is now known as Pretto [14:16] Paddy_EIRE do you know is the linux-headers safe to remove also? [14:17] help .. who write for enter room ? [14:17] archman: found this... http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/10/17/remove-ubuntu-kernels-you-dont-need/ [14:17] cast: please [14:17] sky_, the full command is "man chown" :) [14:17] archman, yes they are [14:17] archman: look at the comment left by bubble [14:17] brb [14:17] what wireless card that I can possible get for my laptop that is 100% compatible with linux? [14:17] $ ubuntu-br [14:17] could someone please tell me how to redirect the output of a termnal command to a txt file? [14:17] gldtn: compatible in what way? [14:18] m3gaman: command > textfile [14:18] sipior: It refers me to pam_authenticate(3) but I can't find it. [14:18] im about to give up on this.. ive got passwordauth enabled, pubkeyauth enabled, tried enabling/disabling one or the other, not playing.. its like its not even lookin at the config file [14:18] m3gaman, it would benefit you to read up on BASH [14:18] m3gaman, lspci > lspci.txt [14:18] that kinda thing [14:18] archman: and Paddy_EIRE just confirmed it. removing linux headers is a-ok. [14:18] what is the version of the bind dns daemon in the ubuntu repositories? [14:18] I will read up on BASH...and thanks for the commands Pici and Paddy_EIRE [14:18] bind9? === cthompson_ is now known as tyler_d [14:18] !info bind9 [14:18] bind9 (source: bind9): Internet Domain Name Server. In component main, is optional. Version 1:9.5.0.dfsg.P2-1ubuntu3.1 (intrepid), package size 237 kB, installed size 756 kB [14:19] is that a version where dns poisoning is fixed? [14:19] sky_, if you need it a little longer: man 1 chown [14:19] unr3a1, Paddy_EIRE, ok :) [14:19] GunbladeIV, pretty much like plug n play.. not having to download restricted drivers, etc.. [14:19] cool :) [14:19] ;) [14:19] any buddy knows when ubuntu 9.04 is gona be out [14:19] gldtn, my motorola WN825GP works perfectly for me [14:19] riwa: try "apropos pam" [14:20] Linux Satori 2.6.24-24-generic #1 SMP Thu Feb 19 08:00:07 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [14:20] this is the output of `uname -a`. Why does it say SMP? I only have one processor [14:20] Chowder: Do you have a dual core processor? [14:20] gldtn, so does my motorola wn825g [14:20] Pici, nope. [14:20] gldtn: WL230USB is one of supported usb wifi dongle [14:20] Chowder: What about multithreading? [14:20] gldtn: plug and play since 8.04 [14:21] Pici, its an intel celeron so it probably supports multithreading [14:21] Chowder, cat /proc/cpuinfo [14:21] perhaps [14:22] dewi [14:22] Paddy_EIRE, oh, here's the one with -generic in filename, and one without. That one without is 45mb. So which? Both? [14:22] brb.. [14:22] Whitor, I have a internal broadcom on my father laptop and I can't get it to work.. and they say that the b43-fwcutter for intrepid is broken.. so I gave up on that and don want do try ndiswrapper.. so itś just easier to get a new card [14:22] archman, I typically do a "sudo apt-get autoremove" [14:23] hope that helps [14:23] Hi, i'm trying to use PlayOnLinux to install some windows games. The game is in the soft's database, so it's supposed to work. When i start the installation, everything works fine until it asks me to insert the CDs. I inserted both CDs into the drives of my computer, but when i hit "next" it tells me "ERROR: the CD was not detected". Help ? [14:23] ikonia: can you pls say me how i can cahnges owner to me from newest ext3 partition ? [14:23] when i use aptitude search it gives me a list of the found applications, but it doesnt show the version of the app. how do i view the version of the application? === b00zer is now known as haptiK [14:23] Kuifje111, apt-cache policy appname [14:23] ok, thanks [14:24] Paddy_EIRE, me too, but it didn't list those "older" headers... === repsol_ is now known as adrenaline [14:25] archman, perhaps you should restart to the new kernel [14:25] Hi, i'm trying to use PlayOnLinux to install some windows games. The game is in the soft's database, so it's supposed to work. When i start the installation, everything works fine until it asks me to insert the CDs. I inserted both CDs into the drives of my computer, but when i hit "next" it tells me "ERROR: the CD was not detected". Help ? [14:25] I did, I'm in new...strange [14:25] hmm [14:25] clee-saan: you might have better luck taking the issue up with the PlayOnLinux folks [14:26] clee-saan: or at the very least mentioning what game you're trying to install ;) [14:26] how i can change owner to my newest ex3 partition to me ? [14:26] archman, in synaptic does it list old or obsolete packages under the status [14:26] SlimeyPete: Total Annihilation [14:26] sipior: where do i find them ? [14:26] hi there [14:26] can ubuntu use quad code processors fine ? [14:26] does anyone know when the ubuntu home server is comming out? because i just cannot get apache to work so i think im going to get windows home server [14:26] sky_, the answer is still "man chown" [14:26] Paddy_EIRE, no, strange again... [14:26] junior_, no idea when it will be released to be honest [14:27] silv3r_m00n i'm running ubuntu hardy x64 on my Q6600 (quad core 2.4ghz) [14:27] Vonor: i dont understand this guide :X [14:27] junior_, its also not an official derivitive [14:27] Paddy_EIRE, you mean they are maybe being used? [14:27] clee-saan: wherever you downloaded the software from, i guess. [14:27] CShadowRun: so does it utilise the full potential of that processor ? [14:27] Paddy_EIRE: ok thanks [14:27] whats so hard to understand on chown? [14:27] sipior: i guess that makes sense [14:27] silv3r_m00n linux handles multiple processors better than windows does, by a long shot [14:27] CShadowRun: and like will it be twice as fast on core 2 duo ? [14:27] archman, very odd.. perhaps you still have packages using them... or that reference them in some way.. this is if you manually installed something [14:28] silv3r_m00n that's not how multiple cores work [14:28] CShadowRun: hmm that I understand [14:28] Vonor: i tried chown root /media disk -1 but it doesnt work [14:28] Paddy_ EIRE: may be, yes. [14:28] sky_, if you had taken a look at the manpage of chown you would have seen it's synopsis [14:28] dual core don't give you "twice as fast" i guess you could say "I can run twice as much" [14:28] unless the program you are running supports multiple cores, but there arn't many around that do [14:28] archman, check for locally installed packages if there are any in synaptic [14:29] CShadowRun: by the way do you know whether windows xp runs on quadcore or not ? [14:29] silv3r_m00n yes, it does lol [14:29] but ubuntu most definatly does a better job of it [14:29] archman, if you could remove them possibly then clean the old headers.. then reinstall anything you locally installed yourself [14:30] Paddy_ EIRE: are those the ones i installed from, e.g.: launchpad? that are not in reps? [14:30] archman, otherwise I guess you could live with them for now :) [14:30] sky_, most people in here could probably tell you how to use it correctly, but the learning experience and the feeling of joy after figuring something out on your own is worth more...so we don't spoil your fun :) [14:30] archman, oh you mean from ppa [14:30] CShadowRun: but quad core processors are only 64bit right ? [14:30] no [14:30] silv3r_m00n nope. [14:30] hmm [14:30] hello [14:30] you only really need a 64bit operating system if you have >= 4GB memory [14:30] archman, like say you installed something from source or downloaded a .deb and installed that way [14:30] anyways will xp 32bit run on quadcore 64bit ? [14:30] anything like that [14:30] Vonor: please say me correct command -_- [14:30] not ppas dont worry about ppas [14:30] silv3r_m00n: yes but it won't be in 64bit [14:31] kitche: hmm [14:31] Anybody know how to rotate the menus on the gnome panels? Moved a panel and the "Applications, Places, and System" are all rotated vertically and I want to rotate them back. [14:31] what can we do ? [14:31] silv3r_m00n your question doesn't really make sense [14:31] CShadowRun: yeah I understand that [14:31] silv3r_m00n yes windows xp 32bit will handle a quad core processor, but it won't be 64bit :P [14:31] sky_, i'll quote you the manpage: synopsis: chown user:group file [14:31] CShadowRun: I just had an assumption so wanted to clarify [14:32] the 64/32bit is only really for addressing large amounts of memory [14:32] Paddy_ EIRE: ok, got it. I'll live with those 120 megs :D [14:32] xiafei, not very much without knowing the question ;) [14:32] archman, :) [14:32] silv3r_m00n: it will run just fine on a 64 bit CPU, but you won't gain any of the benefits that 64-bit CPUs offer. [14:32] CShadowRun: what about big number numericals ? [14:32] silv3r_m00n yes, 64bit processors can handle larger numbers [14:32] big registers can add and multiply bigger numbers I suppose [14:32] hmm fine [14:33] (providing you have a 64bit OS, and are programming in 64bit) [14:33] but there are nearly no apps which make use of that fact [14:33] This morning update fucked up the screen resolution, i cannot choose 1280x1024 anymore... anybody had the same problem??? [14:33] Paddy_ EIRE: but again, does it mean that running those apps with this kernel won't work? [14:33] yup. [14:33] !language | morgan [14:33] morgan: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [14:33] I am thinking of 64bit ubuntu on a 64bit quadcore [14:33] archman, no they will work [14:33] * Icebuntu wondering how 128 bit processors would be [14:33] I will testify to that :) [14:33] Icebuntu, stop that [14:34] silv3r_m00n your processor is not 64bit, it merely supports a 64bit operating system :P [14:34] How can this have affected only me?? [14:34] what ? [14:34] Vonor: i am starting to be angry -_- [14:34] CShadowRun: you mean its registers are not 64bit wide ? [14:34] silv3r_m00n you keep on saying you have a "64bit quad core" ... no you don't [14:34] silv3r_m00n your processor supports 64bit sure, but that doesn't mean it's called a 64bit quad core :P [14:34] archman, Hey I am going to pop out for a smoke and a cup of tea.. be back in a few mins :) [14:35] For some time now I've been experiencing long delays when logging into my 8.10 server from one particular machine through ssh and mysql gui tools even after a clean install of the OS on the client machine... What might cause this? From other machines, log-in time is normal. [14:35] CShadowRun: oho that I understand [14:35] Paddy_EIRE: np :) Thanks for the help [14:35] anytime [14:35] Havent anybody had problem with screen resolution after updating today?? [14:35] that's like saying i have a "forwards car" ...it supports going forward? :D [14:35] CShadowRun: I shall buy a new one ... currently am on a P4 1.7ghz [14:35] i would like to see ubuntu running on the 8bit 6510 :) [14:35] hehe [14:35] morgan, I have not, but I'm only running 1024x768 [14:35] silv3r_m00n but yea, dual/quad core processors have been out for a very long time, you won't have a problem doing whatever you need to on them [14:36] morgan: nope.. you must be special [14:36] CShadowRun: yes .. that's it [14:36] there are 8 core processors on the shelf now, and i belive i heard 128's are in the intel labs. [14:36] morgan: sounds like a driver issue to me. [14:36] its is very strange... [14:36] Anybody know how to rotate the menu title text on the gnome panels? [14:36] CShadowRun: they are already out by one of the firms [14:36] CShadowRun: 128 core processors ? [14:37] clee-saan yea i think i remember reading an article about it a while back [14:37] CShadowRun: 1 thing... since separate processes can take the 4 cores so ideally the system should be nearly 4 times faster if lot of processes are running all the time [14:37] on a single motherboard? [14:37] CShadowRun: that sounds a bit overkill to me [14:37] !ot [14:37] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [14:37] !who | kushalone [14:37] silv3r_m00n, if you are installing ubuntu from scratch, it does not hurt to do a clean 64bit install. if you are using the 32bit version, the only real reason to switch would be if you have 4gigs or more ram. [14:37] kushalone: 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 :) [14:37] hmm, i havent been needed to change configs fro screen resolution in years [14:37] silv3r_m00n no, very little programs support utilizing multiple cores [14:37] is it called X.org nowadays? [14:37] CShadowRun: but what about separate programs on separate cores [14:38] silv3r_m00n so as i said, your system WILL NOT be twice as fast, but you will be able to run twice as many programs [14:38] yup, now your getting it [14:38] CShadowRun: incorrect. Any multi-threaded programs will utilize multiple cores if necessary [14:38] Huufarted that's what i said [14:38] "very little programs support utilizing multiple cores" - clearly indicating that there are some that do, there just arn't that many of them. [14:38] CShadowRun: you said few programs utilize multiple cores and that's untrue [14:38] is there a autoconfiguratio for xorg? [14:38] i can't even think of any programs that support it :P [14:39] Most do that have a need to. [14:39] CShadowRun: any multithreading application shud be able to do that [14:39] besides a few windows games [14:39] make ;) for instance [14:39] silv3r_m00n yup [14:39] morgan: what kind of card do you have? [14:39] CShadowRun: so most apps are multithreaded [14:39] nvidia [14:39] silv3r_m00n i guess thats a matter of opinion really [14:39] morgan: do you have nvidia-settings installed? [14:39] CShadowRun: fine.. not an issue [14:39] silv3r_m00n: you've got the idea. Any multi-threaded app will handle multiple CPUs. [14:39] i think most arn't, some people think most are, i guess it's all down to what programs you actually use. [14:39] I have to go to the market and get the price chart [14:39] scunizi, yes! [14:39] Huufarted: yeah [14:40] morgan -> try to run dexconf [14:40] silv3r_m00n i love my quad core, i do ALOT of multi tasking :) [14:40] morgan: use that from terminal with sudo and you should be able to fix things.. xorg doesn't hold the rez info anymore [14:40] I have a head for each one of my cores, haha. [14:40] morgan -> or sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [14:40] scunizi, yes your riight the nvidia drivers should handle it [14:40] CShadowRun: that's good ... [14:40] morgan: or I should say .. xorg.conf doesn't really hold info on the rez [14:40] silv3r_m00n: there's no downside to going with multiple cores. Your system will be able to handle more programs open at the same time, but individual programs themselves more than likely will not improve in performance. [14:40] Huufarted: hmm [14:40] CShadowRun: have you heard about fusion processor from AMD [14:40] yup, that's right [14:40] Icebuntu nope [14:41] silv3r_m00n: [14:41] does anyone know if vim's bell can be disabled completely (i.e. no visual bell either) ? [14:41] !ot | CShadowRun Icebuntu [14:41] CShadowRun Icebuntu: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [14:41] Huufarted: but I understand that any multitasking app will be faster as well [14:41] CShadowRun: it has a gpu core and a cpu core in a single processor okey scunizi [14:41] silv3r_m00n: If you run tons of programs, you will get a large performance increase across the board. [14:42] CShadowRun: come to #ubuntu-offtopic [14:42] Huufarted: that's good performance for now [14:42] silv3r_m00n: if you run one very heavy single threaded app on a single core and the same app on a multi-core, you won't see a performance increase [14:42] waylandbill: try ":set vb t_vb=" [14:43] sipior, that's it. into the .vimrc it goes. thanks. [14:43] silv3r_m00n: we are getting really really off topic here. I think we should taper the CPU conversation in this channel. [14:45] For some time now I've been experiencing long delays when logging into my 8.10 server from one particular machine through ssh and mysql gui tools even after a clean install of the OS on the client machine... What might cause this? From other machines, log-in time is normal. [14:45] Vlet: bad routes on the machine. [14:45] Vlet, probably the sshd is performing a lookup of your hostname. [14:45] Huufarted: routes on the server machine? [14:45] Vlet: or what he said. :) Both could cause it. How much of a delay are we talking? [14:46] Vlet: correct. Possibly on the client machine, but I've mostly seen it on servers. [14:46] Huufarted: mmm... 10, 15 seconds [14:46] Vlet: yeah, I've seen routing issues take that long. Are the PCs on different subnets? Are they internal on a LAN? [14:46] Huufarted: 100mbit lan [14:47] Huufarted: where if I log in from home via cable, it's quick as hell [14:47] Vlet, it couldn't hurt to add your hostname to the hosts file on the server machine. If that was the problem, it should cure it. If not, it doesn't hurt. [14:47] waylandbill: I'll give it a try :) [14:47] Vlet: so internal on the LAN the login times are 15 seconds or so? [14:47] my window header will disappear at times http://kcode.mine.nu/shot.jpg functionality will remain though, and it reappears just as randomly but pretty fast again. ??? [14:48] Hi, i've made a unetbootin usb stick and it didn't work. Anyone know why? [14:48] Vlet: but the logins from home are immediate? [14:48] Huufarted: but only from my workstation, upon which windows was just reinstalled... in other words, only from one IP.. other test machines the login is proper [14:48] Kissaki, emerald is buggy and is being phased out [14:48] Hi. I'm trying to get a pcmcia 2 port serial card working. Is anyone familiar with the setserial command? (or the startech cb2s650 serial card?) I've found the I/O ranges for the two ports with lspci -v ... I just don't know how to assign these to ttyS's any ideas ? [14:48] Paddy_EIRE: what's emerald? [14:49] the fancy window decorator [14:49] ah, ok [14:49] Huufarted, Vlet, That would make sense. It would be able to do a lookup for a WAN just fine and not be able to do one unless there was a BIND or other DNS to provide info for the LAN computers. [14:49] if you dont know what it is then you are probably not using it [14:49] is it fixed yet but not in repo? Or not fixed yet? [14:49] Paddy_EIRE, lol [14:49] so that would be an odd problem [14:49] Hi, i've made a unetbootin usb stick and it didn't work. Anyone know why? [14:50] TgWaKu: that's a bit like saying "my car won't start, anyone know why?" we'll need a lot more information, including how you set things up, and what sort of error messages you get. === _ is now known as Guest10158 [14:50] Vlet: What's the IP address of the LAN machine? Also paste the contents of your /etc/resolv.conf on the server [14:50] TgWaKu, can you be more specific? is your BIOS just bypassing the device during boot, or are you getting an error when trying to boot to it? [14:50] Vlet: I don't think there's an issue with the resolv.conf, but might as well check. I think waylandbill had a great idea with the hostname for that client in the hosts file [14:51] no error messages, i downloaded ubuntu 8.10 through unetbootin and it extracted etc and put it on my usb stick. and asked me to reboot. so i did and the live menu did not show. it just booted straight into windows [14:51] Huufarted: Server: 18.150.1.183 Client: 18.150.7.2 http://paste.ubuntu.com/133067/ [14:52] TgWaKu: Change your BIOS to boot from usb [14:52] TgWaKu, you gotta make sure that your BIOS can boot from usb, and you gotta make the usb stick bootable [14:52] Huufarted: LAN-ish.... MIT's own 64th of the internet ;) [14:52] . [14:52] ok thanks, i'll give it a try [14:52] Is there a link where I can post my lspci -v for consideration for future hardware support? [14:52] hello [14:52] Whitor: pastebin [14:52] I want to route vpn through vpn [14:53] Vlet: understood. I would first try adding the hostname into the hosts file like waylandbill suggested. [14:53] storbeck, no... I mean for the developers... not for his channel [14:53] my interface to the internet is ppp0 and i want to reach a certain host over tun0 [14:53] my routing table looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/133052/ [14:53] Vlet: how are other connections to that server? http? ssh? etc? [14:53] storbeck, I saw something about this on digg a few weeks ago [14:53] Huufarted: would sshd need to be restarted for changes prop? [14:53] Vlet: no I wouldn't think so, but it wouldn't hurt. [14:53] Huufarted: that's the curious thing; http/smb is just great [14:54] hi,I'm new in linux & i search for a good (WYSIWYG) web page creator [14:54] Vlet: go ahead and try adding that to the hosts file [14:54] ranim: Nvu [14:54] !kompozer | ranim [14:54] ranim: kompozer is a WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project.

[14:55] rdb: it's never recommended to 'upgrade'. [14:55] rbd: on production servers? ehh...if you've got a test one lying around, maybe... [14:55] Huufarted: yep, that did it... interesting [14:55] film [14:56] rbd: unless you really need some new functionality, i wouldn't bother too much. [14:56] rbd -> you have a new resume ready? [14:56] xxx_, what? [14:56] Huufarted: so maybe my nameserver hates me =D [14:56] yeah, i know kompozer but there is a probleme when i try to integrate picture or jut ponting in the view menu, Kompozer close auto [14:56] lol @ n8tuserf [14:56] Instead of sound alerts ubuntu uses the speakers. Other sounds (logon etc) work fine. Any fix for that? [14:56] Vlet: that's possible. ;P I'm going to guess that the nameserver didn't have an entry for that address [14:56] Instead of sound alerts ubuntu uses the PC speaker. Other sounds (logon etc) work fine. Any fix for that? [14:56] storbeck -> its true, if you screw up a production with an upgrade like that, you better have a resume` ready [14:57] Vlet: I think more the issue was after polling all of the name servers, it would give up and that's when you got your connection. [14:57] Huufarted: yeah. I think I'm going to turn off name resolution in sshd/mysqld for safety sake. Thank you so much for your help. This has been bugging me for weeks and I've just never bothered to try to fix it :) [14:58] Huufarted: yeah, it seemed like something had to time out before it would allow me in... I thought it might have been krb5, but I already disabled it to try to resolve this [14:58] Vlet: my pleasure. :) [14:58] Has anyone used a startech CB2S650 serial port card in ubuntu? I'm having trouble getting mine to work. [14:58] I just added a user using "useradd" [14:58] but when trying to run a program using that user by typing "sudo -u user ./program", it says no passwd entry [14:59] Vlet: the only times I've seen disgusting login times like that are routing issues (bad default route usually so it doesn't know how to make the return trip) or name resolution issues.

[14:59] !grub > Dreamglider [14:59] Dreamglider, please see my private message [14:59] arghs I just mistyped the user name I just recognised :p [14:59] Vlet: glad you got it figured out. [14:59] ranim, gays!!! [14:59] ranim, hope that was accidental [14:59] Huufarted, the thing about bad routes though that would make it obvious is that there is usually a delay even after login.

[15:40] Akkernight: cp -r /folder destination [15:40] is there an alternative to pc anywhere for linux?

[15:41] !vnc | billyk [15:41] billyk: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.

[15:41] where are you [15:41] yup..my cd is good [15:41] neko, perhaps the cd/download you are using is corrupt [15:42] Paddy_EIRE: no, vnc doesnt start an outbound connection so you'd need port forwarding on an edge device to get to a remote machine. I've used VNC plenty of times... [15:42] neko, did you verify the image [15:42] because...i install in other computer..can complete [15:42] kokou_, try netstat -tupan|grep 80. does apach listen on port 80? [15:42] billyk: use x11vnc with the -connect option on the machine behind the router. so x11vnc will connect to the vncviewer running with -listen option. [15:42] billyk, no pc anywhere is for windows [15:42] Does anyone know where the "Session" program in Preferences saves it's configuration to? [15:42] may ubuntu can't support my machine [15:43] Paddy_EIRE: actually its for linux too now. but I was wondering if there was a free alternative. you're making too many assumptions :-p [15:43] neko, how do you know the cd is good? [15:43] did you verify the image neko [15:43] because..I install in other machine is completed [15:43] same CD [15:43] billyk, the linux version is somewhat lacklustre [15:43] ok so i downloaded and burned the ibex (8.10) live cd, fired it up on my pc, wanted to connect to my wireless and went to find the wireless manager but after searching for some time i never found it [15:44] why cant i find the wireless manager? [15:44] ok. rtx3462 that sounds like what I'm looking for. can the viewer have multiple simultaneous inbound connections? [15:44] kokou_, test your config param using apache2ctl configtest [15:44] neko: is your hd clean? have you run a memtest? both to verify that your hardware is functioning properly. [15:44] could anyone help me with routing tables? [15:44] eugo: do you mean Network Manager? [15:44] yeah [15:45] need support for vpn connection [15:45] billyk: no, but you can start more than one viewer [15:45] pls query [15:45] bredoto: nothing comes, it went on the new line after typing it [15:45] ok. would each server have to -connect on a different port then? [15:45] billyk: yes [15:45] kokou_, after netstat ot apache2ctl? [15:45] kokou_, after netstat or apache2ctl? [15:45] netstat [15:46] kokou_, netstat -tupan|grep 80 [15:46] rtx3462: thanks :-) [15:46] i guess i found the network manager application where it lists my eth connections as well as any vpn or dsl connections, but i cant find the application where it searches for wireless networks [15:46] billyk, that guide I sent to begin with explains that.. now who is making assumptions :) [15:47] eugo: if the wireless device was detected and initialised, it should be in that list already. [15:47] Paddy_EIRE: ouch. haha [15:47] netstat -tupan|grep 80 [15:47] :P [15:47] billyk: btw, reading the manpage of x11vnc takes time, but it's really worth it [15:47] it comes with no response [15:47] bredoto: [15:48] I type and press enter, new line with th shell user acc, [15:48] can anyone tell me what generate mipmaps means? [15:48] try apache2ctl configtest - to test your config files [15:48] sipior yeah there was a wireless tab where i could Add a wireless connection, but i had to specify the SSID, it couldn't search for me [15:50] billyk, ah you where right.. they have updated PC Anywhere.. pretty cool :) [15:50] is it possible to write to an hfs+ partition in Ubuntu?

[16:26] blip-: but anyway, yes. well, it's not a way for *you* to authenticate to the repo, it's a way for the repo to authenticate *to* you, so you can be sure you're getting packages from it and not from someone else [16:27] rikkardo: I don't know why you put it in a hidden directory.. but anyway open a console, go to the directory and run the binary as such "./openarena"... if it doesn't work you need to add execute permissions on the file. do that with "sudo chmod +x openarena" (while you are inside the directory) [16:28] ah I see. thanks LjL [16:29] Is it possible to limit a process to one CPU?

[16:48] Paddy_EIRE: here is the paste bin [16:49] somebody here know how can i change the resolution size to the console mode???? [16:49] humbolt: if it is really static linked (all libs linked into it), no [16:49] linfenix: pass linux a vga= parameter [16:49] Paddy_EIRE_: here is the paste bin http://paste.ubuntu.com/133107/ [16:49] they should've named it. Jacky Jeb [16:49] rtx3462: I got the static-oss version from skype.com [16:50] humbolt: i don't use skype at all. but you can do ldd /path/to/skype to check it. [16:50] humbolt: ldd $(which skype_binary) [16:50] cast: i did it that righ now but, the usplash size or resplution change too and i dont liked it [16:50] how do you enable the microphone in ubuntu? [16:51] I get nothing from the microphone in skype for example [16:51] cast: did u know other way to do this? [16:51] humbolt: if it gives you something like "statically linked", you are out of luck [16:51] hi all [16:51] linfenix: sure, but that way is easiest. [16:51] beli: shows me a whole bunch of stuff [16:51] libasound.so.2 => /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 (0xb7fcb000) [16:51] Microphone in Ubuntu 8.10. Right click on the Speaker image in the Top menu bare [16:51] humbolt: nopaste it [16:51] humbolt: then it is not statically linked [16:51] (bar) [16:52] rtx3462: ok, all it says is static-oss on the download page [16:52] i need some help please. i installed ubuntu, then installed xubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop from the package manager. now when I boot i have a kubuntu boot screen, a xubuntu login screen and gnome as my desktop manager. how do i set them all back to gnome? [16:52] cast: i know but i want to change the resolution console without change the usplash size [16:52] humbolt: what beli says, nopaste the output of ldd [16:53] !puregnome [16:53] If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 ; sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » [16:53] linfenix: ahh, no idea then. [16:53] jai [16:53] i don't want to remove them [16:53] wow It's funny that there would be a bot entry for that [16:53] just change the boot and login to ubuntu and gdm [16:53] why would ssh localhost prompt for passphrase? I've copied .ssh/id_rsa.pub into authorized_keys, and ssh to this machine from a remote machine with keys set up similarly isn't challenged for passphrase... [16:54] rtx3462: beli: http://nopaste.org/p/a559bzvr4 [16:54] jschoolc: if you do "ssh localhost" on a remote machine, you are logging into that remote machine [16:55] humbolt: it should work with padsp if padsp uses the same technique as aoss [16:55] rtx3462: yeah, not what I meant. On Server A ssh localhost asks for passphrase. On Server B ssh serverA doesn't ask for passphrase. users keys both in authorized_keys [16:56] jschoolc: compare the /etc/ssh/sshd_config on both servers [16:56] anyone here use irssi? [16:56] i was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to get information off a hd that wont recognized [16:56] vampirnata: sure. [16:56] jschoolc: maybe pubkey auth is disabled on one [16:56] rtx3462: how do you see that. which lib am I looking for? [16:56] vampirnata: yes [16:56] its a sata drive [16:56] rtx3462: output works, but skype does seem to believe, there is no mic [16:56] cast, beli: do any of you know how to move all join/quit messages to another window? [16:56] Billy: does it show up in dmesg? [16:56] and making a clicking noise [16:57] humbolt: it is dynamically linked agains libc. and if padsp works like aoss, it will intercept the open() system call [16:57] Billy leave that work for professionals, it is not a ubuntu support question anyhow [16:57] rtx3462: ssh target for both is serverA so the config is the same. localhost prompts for passphrase, remote doesn't [16:57] humbolt: then i suspect it is a pulseaudio problem. i don't use PA, just plain alsa [16:57] vampirnata: not off the top of my head, one can ignore them easily enough [16:57] Billy: clicking noise = head physically crashed. So not much hope unles you send it out to one of those data recovery labs [16:57] when i fo in to the bios it does not reconize a drive iin that sata port [16:57] can anyone help me get the microphone working? [16:57] what music files can be played whilst you're on the livecd without installing codecs?

[16:58] jschoolc: you can debug ssh logins with ssh -vv [16:59] Billy: check ultimate boot cd....ubcd....it has some manufacturer tools on it [16:59] rtx3462: I can record from the mic via pulseaudio, with the gnome-recorder app, or whatever its name is [16:59] Jack_Sparrow: but one guy told me that i can via Live CD ? [16:59] ChrizC: you might boot the livecd, open synaptic and search for gstreamer. See what's installed. [16:59] I've installed gnome-user-share to share my Public folder via http. How do I get the URL for the folder or for a file in it to pass on to someone?

Icecast is working, MPD is working, the output is set, but when I navigate to the file I get "File not found" [18:03] ShinyHat, i dont know out of my head where in ubuntu, but somewhere in the menus system you can do service management or something [18:03] ShinyHat, startup services [18:03] marcel1607: everything powers down correctly during a restart, though, and to get it to power down after the splash screen freezes i just have to push a few buttons on the keyboard [18:03] i'm using the livecd now. my clone worked great, tried it and it all booted etc. but in gparted now on livecd and can't make the partition bigger. it's got sda1 as my main partition, then sda2 extended with swap on and then a ton of unallocated after that... [18:04] ubuntu_problemos: you have to allocate the space first.. format and then move things around.. unless it's swap...in which case you move swap to the end first so the unallocated space is next to what you want to make larger. [18:04] hi there [18:04] marcel1607: doesn't seem to matter which buttons [18:04] ShinyHat, yes you told that [18:04] scunizi, how or what do i allocated it to? i tried making it another ext3 but that doesnt seem to help [18:04] prince_jammys: thanks, though [18:05] Can anyone help me setup up hamachi on ubuntu? [18:05] scunizi: it seems to make it as sda3, but not add it to sda1... [18:05] hi all. I'm having problems setting up my ethernet connection. I've temporary installed a wireles one to get online.lspci tells me it's an RTL-8110SC/8169SC Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10), still using I get no response from dhclient [18:05] how can i restart my proftpd server in oder to take into account the modifications I've made in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf [18:06] b4chip1: restart the initscript [18:06] ubuntu_problemos: if swap is going to be between the unallocated space and what ever is at the beginning of the drive then create a new swap and change fstab to reflect that.. then on next boot you can delete the old swap partition so that space merges with the current unallocated space.. from there you might be able to just "expand" what's at the beginning of the drive (ext3?).. without formatting [18:06] iluminator1001, if there's a binary available just use that. or are you wanting to compile from source [18:06] kitche: how can i do that? I'm really new to linux/gnu/ubuntu [18:07] b4chip1: sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd restart [18:07] b4chip1, cd /etc/init.d [18:07] Does anyone have a ATI Mobilty Radeon? [18:07] yes, i did what Scunzi said...still no efect [18:07] scunizi won that one [18:07] lol [18:07] scunizi, how do i get the swap to the end of the drive though? [18:07] Got it!

[18:08] suspend [18:09] ubuntu_problemos: with gparted or partition manager (the same program) .. use it to create new space at the end formatted as swap.. edit /etc/fstab to reflect swaps new partition designation.. and then use gparted again to delete the old swap partition [18:09] with the driver enabled, I can't resume from suspend [18:09] black screen [18:09] hello, I was looking into the reason why xen as a dom0 isn't included officially in ubuntu server,... Besides this, they seem to promote kvm as their virtualisation technology, ... but is KVM actually production ready? [18:09] can move over to a virtual console (whatever Ctrl + Alt + F4 is) [18:09] can't [18:09] scunizi: but it says my swap now is Extended, whatever that is... but when i copy and paste the swap to unallocated it's not extended... [18:09] smetj: yes of course it's been production ready for many months [18:10] rmrfslash, hmm that's outside my expertise, sorry. i'd try searching around ubuntuforums.org, or check out ATI's support pages for more information. Perhaps this is a bug? :) [18:10] sounds like a bug to me ;) [18:10] ubuntu_problemos: how many partitions on this secondary drive? [18:11] scunizi: i've only got one drive in the machine. the cloned one. it's 1tb. [18:11] kitche: I'm personally a xen adept (it's used at the company I work for) and I'm open to kvm, but it's not that known to me [18:11] ubuntu_problemos: ok.. how many partitions on that drive? [18:11] scunizi: and it has sda1 and sda2 on it, sda2 is extended and within that there's a swap [18:11] smetj: well I believe xen is not supported sicne ubuntu is meant more for desktop [18:11] hi,, i need cambozola.jar [18:11] scunizi: then a load of unallocated after it [18:11] kvm and xen are two quite different pieces of technology [18:11] wow [18:11] 1474 people [18:12] kitche: humm, I can't agree with that statement [18:12] and no owner [18:12] where can i get the alternative (no gui) version of ubuntu?

[18:32] LjL: what about the virtualbox-ose? [18:33] LjL: are you there? [18:33] ftab_: no problem really, it's probably just that virtualbox-ose, being an ubuntu package, is compiled to try to use a theme that better matches your GNOME desktop (while still being a Qt app), while on the other hand the VirtualBox you download elsewhere is just a statically linked binary. [18:33] ftab_: yes, i'm here, but i haven't been able to beat the world record of typing speed yet [18:34] LjL: thank you for the response :) I got worried if some one would reply or not [18:34] ftab_: was only a few min difference :D [18:35] any way, is there any package available for UBUNTU ? which should have a gnome look & feel?

Running 8.10 amd64 (wireless works fine at home) [18:46] yeah, check you've got the right one installed then divXjunky , it's possible a newer package ver is preventing your eggdrop from running as-is, or perhaps you need to create a path environment variable for where the libs are (as your error mentioned libtcl.8.5.so) [18:47] i have to go now, back in a few [18:48] or where would i find the error logs associated with connecting to the wireless network [18:49] is there a way to see 4G ram on ubuntu 8.10 32 bit ?

[18:58] unop: that man page says *not* to use it directly as an admin [18:59] hoban, it's a tool for the job - so i suppose so [18:59] hoban, eh? which line? [18:59] judget_: I'm currently using gnome's network manager, and it works, but I'm still up for alternatives [18:59] are there other interface builders like GLADE? [18:59] unop: search for the line starting: "Please note that this program was designed..." [19:01] unop: so it says there to use a tool like sysv-rc-conf or bum, yet both of those packages are not officially supported by canonical [19:02] hoban, that's not what it's saying - it's saying since there's limited functionality with update-rc.d (I disagree) - people are not encouraged to use it - but that's subjective advice.

[19:03] hoban, well, i use it, a lot of other people do too. and what's wrong with sysv-rc-conf ?? apart from not being 'officially supported' [19:04] brandonban6, use a combination of tools: lshw for hardware profiling (for example) and the package manager to show installed packages and updates available [19:04] quentusrex, top should give a good indication of what's in use [19:04] is that virtual memory or residential memory?

[19:14] Flannel: it'll be from a usb image? do i just put the path to it in my apt.list with proper formatting? [19:14] raevol: Mmmm. No, you can't do that. You use apt-cdrom to add it, and I'm not sure it'll work with an iso (certainly can't hurt to try) [19:14] do you guys know a better tool for creating a custom ubuntu cd than remastersys?

[20:55] LjL: yeah ok, I will tell them that I install stuff which is licenced under the GPL, just so they know.

And how did you install it? [21:00] J_el_Che: depends on how you installed it. [21:00] GoogleEarthLinux it was a .bin file [21:00] xavierg2003: are you just looking for aircrack-ng? That's in the repositories [21:00] use sudo apt-get auto remove (program) [21:01] J_el_Che: you could have got a proper google earth package from the Medibuntu repository, keep that in mind for next time [21:01] !medibuntu > J_el_Che (J_el_Che, see the private message from ubottu) [21:01] thankyou i couldn't remember the name [21:01] theres also google earth at the medibuntu repositories i belive.

[21:01] what does _(){ _|_& };_ do [21:01] J_el_Che: anyway, i don't know the answer because i never installed that .bin in the first place (i used medibuntu). maybe you can run the .bin with some --option to uninstall?

[21:02] umm i don't know... [21:03] TuxSympathiser: enable it. If there's an issue, then disable it [21:03] Dr_willis, I extracted the file from the desktop, I have no idea where the extracted files went. It's supposed to create some folders. [21:03] TuxSympathiser: I just didn't remember being asked that question on recent versions of ubuntu, thus why I asked [21:03] Anna_111, look in the Desktop directory again... [21:03] Anna_111, depending on the command they extract to the current directory normally [21:03] jrib, I'm using dpkg-reconfigure as I messed up the display :-) [21:04] elad` -> why do you believe a four character password is acceptable? [21:04] glade-3: error while loading shared libraries: libgladeui-1.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. Ideas? [21:04] n8tuserf, it's a fact that I have one right now. The Ubuntu installation let me create one. [21:04] Flynsarmy, what are you trying to do? [21:05] elad``: It's still not a good idea. [21:05] arvind_khadri, I jsut compiled glade 3.6. i did a sudo make then sudo make install. now when i try to run it i get that error. 3.4.5 was working [21:05] So, how do I force a password change, disregarding the safety restrictions of the new password being a rehashing of the old one? [21:05] logout [21:05] elad` -> during install, pam modules were not running yet, thats why you were able to create a 4 char password [21:05] Dr_willis, yeah it did. According to my instructions it is supposed to create a folder called servers but what it did was create a folder called expc and all files are inside that folder. What does it mean if the folder name is in blue? [21:05] schnauzer, I don't really care about that. [21:05] Anna_111, look in the directory? [21:06] elad``: To each his own, I suppose...

[21:06] So, how do I do that? [21:06] can I pm someone about uninstalling this app? this window is too hectic [21:06] It created my DB2 install files. So tar -xvf went fine. [21:07] "New password is a wrapped(?) version of the old one" - I still want that to be my new password. How do I force it? [21:07] right... [21:07] arvind_khadri, when i type 'make' its just a whole bunch of 'nothing to be done' messages [21:07] Dr_willis, what does it mean if the dir color is blue or green? [21:07] lol [21:08] Anna_111, try ls -l, and see the details.. i would imagine one is for a directory, other may be a executable [21:08] elad``, all this time you're wasting trying to figure it out, just make a longer password.... lol [21:08] Flynsarmy, do you need to run something before that? read the README ? [21:08] elad``: Are you trying to simply add a character to your old password? As in, "1234" becomes "12345" [21:08] Anna_111, dont go by 'colors' go by what ls tells you. then you learn what the colors mean. [21:08] elad` -> man passwd and man pam for details, [21:08] Hi please help I have ubuntu 8.04 LTS: when I start ubuntu in normal mode it shows a black screeen bat I can hear the sound of login menu.

[21:18] being a jerk won't help [21:18] Ax3: is tyere a way to test the hdd b4 i install the OS? [21:18] xavierg2003: that's a good idea. [21:18] hi [21:18] eighty4, i sent you a pvt [21:19] is there a way to get ubuntu server to auto fetch my yahoo mail? [21:19] mrdudle: pm, yes. But why? [21:19] /dfss [21:19] it'll be easier to talk [21:19] /ddd [21:19] who was it that banned me for posting dangerous syntax? someonone told me to run it, i didn't know what it was [21:19] and i'll try and help? [21:19] Gnea: It supports 1280x1024 at 85Hz despite what the online docs say... I had it running at that in Windows by disabling plug n play and sorting it out manually ;) But I'd be happy with the 75Hz that Gdm manages [21:19] keres_ -> now you know, so drop it === unix3 is now known as epaphus [21:20] n8tuserf: I don`t know how to do that [21:20] n8tuserf: do i get unbanned? [21:20] gerald_ -> you use apps like firebird to get it for you [21:20] n8tuserf: because i rather almost need this channel to use ubuntu [21:21] keres_ -> you're here are you not? [21:21] eighty7, i can help you [21:21] n8tuserf: i am using a seperate laptop [21:21] n8tuserf: with irc2go, i normally use xchat on my desktop [21:21] nananuu -> yes, you mount the partition where your installed xorg.conf resides and modify that xorg.conf file [21:21] was it ljl or lmj that banned me [21:21] n8tuserf: that's a ban evasion [21:22] keres_: #ubuntu-ops please [21:22] thanks jrib [21:22] Wibble-: looking still.. [21:22] Gnea: Fabulous... I am too :) But its doing my eyes in (crappy refresh rate ;) [21:23] I just installed 8.10 on my laptop, and it seemed to go okay, but I'm afraid there might be something wrong with the disk. Is there a comprehensive disk-checking utility? [21:23] Wibble-: yeah, I dig... 85Hz sounds nice :) this Dell tops out at 75Hz [21:24] !fsck | yrlnry [21:24] yrlnry: 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 [21:25] YAY! [21:25] Gnea: Delete .config/monitors.xml and it uses the same res as gdm :)) [21:25] Gnea: thanks for looking for me :) [21:25] n8tuserf: found it [21:25] whats some technology that allows for multicast audio over a web browser? [21:25] i imagine it has to be flash based [21:26] RoAkSoAx: find your answer yet on snapshots? [21:26] dquestions: depends, does the playback have to be in the browser, or is it ok to load the stream in an auxilary player [21:26] Wibble-: cheers :) [21:26] tc111, kind off.. but it doesn't seem to work ok... so I'm testing it out [21:27] dquestions: with that respect even there is very little difference between flash or fi a vlc/totem/windows media player plugin [21:27] Who knows how to work with Konsole? [21:27] n8tuserf: I modified it but can`t save I`m not the woot [21:27] n8tuserf: I modified it but can`t save I`m not the root [21:27] xavierg2003, you may want to be a little more specific/verbose [21:28] nananuu -> on livecd use sudo -i [21:28] is it possible to install ubuntu base (the 10mb iso) onto a couple of drives set up on one of those lvm thingys (if so how would i go about it) [21:28] xavierg2003: many people do - although we try not to encourage "who uses.." and "does anybody use.." kind of questions - you're better off to just ask the real question that have about konsole [21:28] Actually nevermind. [21:28] I'm trying to install 8.04 on a Powerbook G3, but I can't get the mac to boot from the cd image. [21:28] I figured it out. [21:28] cool [21:28] linny1: yes, but the 10Mb iso is netinstall [21:28] RoAkSoAx: looking through docs it looks like you can use Ctrl+Alt+2 OR Ctrl-Alt-c and switch to the console and then with savevm you can save the vm to a file... is that what you already tried? === automatix is now known as ortsvorsteher [21:29] acicula: yes i want just the base installed no extra stuff or desktops or anything [21:30] sys64738: is G3 ppc or intel based? [21:30] hey guys [21:30] n8tuserf: Omg I`m a noob I just searched it on file system I don`t eaven know another way :( [21:30] its a ppc [21:30] sys64738: did you get the ppc specific image? [21:30] tc111, yeah. first I tried clonning it, it works but the network interfaces get f****d up, and then trying creating snapshots with the save command, but when restoring you can see the changes made aftr taking the snapshot [21:30] yes, i can open it up on the g3 OS9.2 [21:30] linny1: not sure if the netinstall does LVM or not, but just about every Ubuntu-based distro does, so I would imagine that the probability is greater than 90% [21:30] Whats a good program to edit pdf files?

(they are all fakeraid based) I don't feel like running Ubuntu from live-cd forever. Flash drive was last option. [21:42] if it can last few months I would be happy. [21:42] I-Shot-Kennedy__: I would keep the livecd around just to be on the safe-side [21:42] acicula: 10000 writes for each single byte [21:43] guntbert: doesnt write per byte?

Only text-installer works. [21:54] how would I run a bash command at startup of X? [21:54] the text installer is very simple, I-Shot-Kennedy__ [21:54] It's basically a stripped-down GUI without all the beauties. [21:54] I am not that knowledgeable MenZa [21:54] I-Shot-Kennedy__: it's the same as the standard installer a lot of the way, just not as pretty === andyh2 is now known as andyh2|away [21:55] http://www.madirish.net/images/virt/ubuntu_install.gif <- e.g., likethat [21:55] Maybe I should go ahead with the flash drive install.

[21:56] MenZa: isnt that like Ncursive or something? [21:56] XFS, JFS, ReiserFS [21:56] or whatever [21:56] eseven73: ncursive? [21:56] which would be best for flash media [21:56] WTF [21:56] MenZa: ummm google it :) [21:57] tar, stop trying to include a folder I explicitly told you to exclude! [21:57] maybe it include recursive folders automatically? [21:57] or should I just use whatever file-system arrangement the Ubuntu installer picks? [21:57] badblocks gave a supremely unhelpful error message. It said "badblocks: invalid starting block (0): must be less than 0". Apparently this is UbuntuSpeak for "You named the mount directory instead of the raw device file, dummy". === Tonio__ is now known as Tonio_ [21:58] I-Shot-Kennedy__: I don't think it will make much difference; ext3 is pretty much the standard nowadays [21:58] I'm trying to exclude /home/mike/.wine/ and all of its contents, and I'm using "sudo tar tarfile.tgz --exclude "/home/mike/.wine/" / [21:58] snowveil: tarfile.tgz must follow the --exclude... [21:58] I-Shot-Kennedy__: but maybe ext2 would work, if removing journaling would decrease writes [21:59] snowveil: tar -cz --exclude ... -f tarfile.tgz I think. [21:59] you know what, looking at the man page I think you're right [21:59] it's starting to make the file, but it's not excluding that directory...lemme try it again [21:59] yeah schnauzer whichever fs is easier on the writes would be better. Will ubuntu let me pick? (I haven't tried full install yet) [22:00] snowveil: if you put the --exclude blah at the end, tar will try to *include* a file named "--exclude", and then it will *include" /home/mike/.wine, and it will include nothing else! [22:01] I-Shot-Kennedy__: which version of ubuntu are you using? [22:01] no, it's including the whole root folder, but not excluding the /home/mike/.wine/ folder for some reason [22:01] I got the latest 64bit version. The 9.04 one. [22:01] Running the live cd right now [22:01] snowveil: sbackup has a nice GUI for backing up tar that allows you to exclude directories, once intalled you'll see it under adminstiration > simple backup config [22:01] snowveil: according to the man page --exclude expects a pattern [22:01] hello [22:02] Im still trying to install ubuntu ppc 8.04 .iso cd on a G3 powerbook but I cant boot from the cd. [22:02] is there an option to create a usb startup disk under System > Administration? (I haven't used 9.04) [22:02] I saw that "PATTERN" option, is that different than listing a directory? [22:02] hi. I am using mupen64plus. it seems the savefiles saved in intrepid do not work properly under hardy. they work but certain things dont. (the ocarina doesnt work). does anybody know why? I can't find out from google. === felix_da_catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [22:03] Hey all I'm trying to get a line of commands to run when the server starts up or reboots, i've added a file to /etc/init.d but It doesn't work, I think it could be what's inside the file http://www.mibbit.com/pb/9CyaQ6 [22:03] snowveil: well I'm guessing it's supposed to be a pattern... [22:03] snowveil: like foo*.c [22:03] ceej__: /etc/rc.local [22:03] try that [22:03] ceej_, when a system boots. the /etc/rc.local script is ran [22:03] felix-da-catz_zz: no one cares that you're asleep, why change nick all the time, noisy away messages are for the loose! [22:03] so, home/mike/.wine/* instead of just home/mike/.wine/ ? [22:03] I-Shot-Kennedy__: is there an option to create a usb startup disk under System > Administration? (I haven't used 9.04) [22:03] let me check [22:04] cinex: Dr_willis: ah ok :) thank you....I also think what I'm trying to run might be in correct also [22:04] sure is, I just launched it. What does it do schnauzer? [22:04] ceej_, make a script that runs all the stuff.. then run the script from /etc/rc.local via scriptname & [22:04] ceej__: everythingin /etc/init.d needs to be softlinked to one of the rc$runlevel directorys [22:05] It creates a bootable installation of Ubuntu on a flash drive [22:05] How long should I expect badblocks to take to run on a device with 61 million blocks? [22:05] yrlnry, now many gb is it? [22:05] #math [22:05] I-Shot-Kennedy__: at least, it should ;) [22:05] Dr_willis: Around 61. [22:06] ciao [22:06] cinex: Dr_willis I can put it in rc.local but would you be able to check if my sytax is correct, I tried running the line by hand but it didn't seem to work http://www.mibbit.com/pb/9CyaQ6 [22:06] hmm [22:06] yrlnry, depending on howmany badblocks it finds - it can vary i imagine. - I cant recall ever just running 'badblocks' by iteslf. [22:06] oh [22:06] Im still trying to install ubuntu ppc 8.04 .iso cd on a G3 powerbook but I cant boot from the cd. [22:07] ceej i dont know python [22:07] ceej_, dont use such a complex single line. make a script and break it down into somthimng more readable. [22:07] or nohup [22:07] the python is fine [22:07] I just found this: log writes killed the flash media. The problem wasn't just the frequency of the writes, but that the log writes tended to be small, frequent, and often to the same page of flash memory. [22:07] Dr_willis: I would if I knew how :/ [22:07] ceej_, each command on its own line... [22:07] All my gtk apps menus are missing... except for firefox', does anyone know how to fix this? [22:07] sys64738: ppc is no longer supported. This is not the channel to ask [22:08] I've got a serious problem with fglrx on jauntu and ati-card. So I need to access termianal without the gnome/kdm to open first. how do I do that in boot? [22:08] ceej__: does || mean or ? [22:08] I-Shot-Kennedy__: you mean on ext3? [22:08] ceej_, im not sure what you are trying to do in the script iother then run a lot of commands it seems [22:08] Dr_willis: but i need to cd into the dir and execute the command [22:08] ceej_, so? tell the script to cd.. [22:08] hi, just reading up on using nfs to share files on home network, and it talks about hosts.allow and hosts.deny. i like the idea of having ALL in .deny and granting specific access in .allow, but just wonder if i need to make any entries for localhost, or is that unnecessary? [22:08] Dr_willis: I just want to cd in then run [22:08] ceej_, time to spend 10 min reading the Advanced bash scripting guide I think [22:08] nohup python web2py.py -a 'a' -p 8003 [22:08] usuario: did you try to get a mac-style global menu bar at some point? [22:08] and then run nohup python web2py.py -a 'a' -p 8004 [22:09] usuario: firefox is not a gtk app, which explains why it's not affected [22:09] ceej_, so you put those commands in the script. [22:09] then cd into another dir and run nohup python web2py.py -a 'a' -p 8005 [22:09] #!/bin/bash [22:09] cd ..... [22:09] command.... [22:09] cd ....... [22:09] Dr_willis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:09] :) [22:09] unsure, the person who said that didnt indicate which fs was used on the flash media [22:09] Dr_willis: ah ok, can i just put it in rc.local? [22:09] rather straight forward - you may want a & at the end of the commands also. [22:09] hello? [22:09] although it sounds plausible. log writes are constant and could do that [22:09] ceej_, rc.local is just a script.. so of course. [22:10] Dr_willis: thank you :) [22:10] ceej_, how did you comd up what that line in the first place? cd /root/klasproducts || nohup python web2py.py -a 'a' -p 8003 || nohup python web2py.py -a 'a' -p 8004 || the || may or MAY not be what you really want === vonkleist_ is now known as vonkleist [22:11] and im not sure that nohup is even needed [22:12] schnauzer, since I intend to use Ubuntu for longer than few months I'm just going to break one of my PATA RAID0 arrays and install Ubuntu on one of the orphaned disks. === Pooky_ is now known as Pooky [22:12] Thanks for the info tho.

[23:24] natalie, sory I'm out of ideas [23:24] becaus ei want that sapce for windows and there is no ntfs formatting option [23:24] genii, I'm trying that one...

[23:27] raistlyn: I think that wrektjet means, that it is quite easy to partition and/or use diskspace that has not been formatted/partitioned during initial install [23:27] sir_yodle: im sure there are nice graphical tools too [23:28] if ur formatting ntfs r u iinstalling windows ? [23:28] pepperjack: thanks, that's perfect. needed to find a module name. is that the best way to do so? [23:29] ur probably right ocean unfortunately wasnt very clear in statement [23:29] raistlyn: one can access ALL space at ANY time. Any not-used space can easily be partitioned and formatted, and then used [23:29] raistlyn: indeed :) [23:29] i want to in the future install windows [23:29] sir_yodle: well to identify the module you need yes. like it you needs to know the chipset or something of your wireless card [23:29] but the partioning tool in the installer doesntoffer ntfs [23:30] actually I needed to whitelist the module in acpi-support to keep it alive when suspending. otherwise my wifi gets killed even when I lock the screen. hope this works, bout to find out [23:30] wrektjet: Indeed. Why would a Linux installer need NTFS? [23:30] lol. it wouldnt! [23:30] but it does in ubuntu! [23:30] well yeah ocean all space can be acessed but who wants to be chasing down sectors [23:30] that is a lot of work [23:30] btw how long do you think it will take to partition a 640 gig hdd [23:30] but then again i am lazy [23:30] it canoh wait [23:30] can i go get dinner? [23:30] wrektjet: exactly. You can leave the space blank, and use it afterwards if you *really* need NTFS. [23:31] depends on type of format [23:31] oCean_:i want a backup in case ubuntu turns out to be too hard for me [23:31] * elli222 slaps self for confusing wubi with live CD [23:31] what i did wrekjet is i let my laptop come with that vista OS (garbage as it is) [23:31] how do I connect to cups to setup a printer that is connected to a windows computer (printer sharing) ?
