Thanks [00:04] cipherZen, umm i have to check how may i do that :) [00:05] TwoToneSpirit, how may i check/change the driver? [00:05] Krell: lspci | grep VGA [00:06] enter that in a terminal, should give you your gpu [00:06] cipherZen: can you explain lspci and grep to me? [00:07] Krell any chance your handle is after the electronics company krell? [00:07] TwoToneSpirit: lspci lists the PCI devices connected to the system, the | pipes the output to grep, grep matches line by line for something containing, in this case, VGA [00:07] cipherZen: So grep will echo any line containing the criteria? [00:07] yes [00:08] cipherZen: So, for example, ps ax | grep firefox will give me the line of the firefox process? [00:08] daryl_, no it is for the scifi movie forbidden planet :) [00:08] yep, exactly [00:08] TwoToneSpirit: do you happen to have a link for the torrent?

[00:14] I'm trying to benchmark an app with AB. What should I use to monitor the server status? Top? Uptime? I've heard that top has trouble with multi proc systems. Is there something else that I should use? [00:15] I use htop === Owner is now known as lwizardl [00:15] hi, I have a IP from a computer on my network, how can i find the hostname attached to that IP? [00:17] daryl_, i don't know of any install-converter for ubuntu [00:18] daryl_, too bad that kernel arg didn't work, but say -- have you tried kubuntu? it worked on my laptop which otherwise had problems with many other distros (including "straight" ubuntu) [00:18] ohh htop looks good [00:18] Adriaan: using the "host" command for example (host ) [00:18] oh man you have no idea. xububtu was my latest attempt [00:18] Adriaan, try ping -a see if it resolved he hostname [00:19] tried many. I ran elive again only to see its a script "vga=normal failsafemode " with the space after and all. that isnt a normal command is it? [00:19] how sad, now that i have changed the driver vlc now just shuts down when i try to play a DVD, the others still say i don't have the restricted drivers installed (even though i do) === RayAcayan1 is now known as RayAcayan [00:20] daryl_, well, i don't know much about the kernel yet, but i could believe that it's "legal" to have a variable name without a value (like 'failsafemode'[=nothing]) [00:20] cipherZen, hello [00:20] <_r00t-> hello , ubuntu jaunty channel ?

[00:58] http://pastebin.ca/1365773 [00:58] should be something like `ssh user@192.168.1.2` [00:58] nOStahl: there's also Lives!.. Pitivi Video editor and many more [00:58] nobody [00:58] ? [00:58] cousteau: uh... I think you lost me. [00:58] where "user" is your username and 192.168.1.2 is the local IP [00:59] suspend isnt working on my mini 9. where should i start looking to figure out why? [00:59] that's how I would connect to another Ubuntu machine... must be similar for a mac [00:59] cousteau: well, I never said I wanted SSH, but that would be helpful. I just want to be able to use the 'net on the Linux box, but... okay. [01:00] Scunizi: Thanks for the help. I wasnt paying attention. I was looking for a file after uncompressing it [01:00] I have a permitions problem with USB drives, I often get a message saying I am not privilaged to mount the volume. This is not consistant as I can reboot an the issue goes away with some drives but not others. Does anyone have any ideas?? [01:00] I have this problem? [01:01] stweston, what about $ sudo route add default gw ? [01:01] LcnLnx: might work, but I just tried that (and something similar) not too long ago. [01:01] LcnLnx: hey! it seems to work now! [01:02] this is some /weird/ voodoo magic... [01:02] stweston, good! is your route table correct? $ netstat -nr [01:02] LcnLnx: lemme check. [01:02] suspend isnt working on my mini 9. where should i start looking to figure out why? [01:02] any ideas why conky gets erased by window dragging [01:02] b1n42y, What does cube mean when it got to do to make conky rc file .conkyrc ( or download from net some ready rolled) and then just conky or add to sesion manager conky. [01:03] LcnLnx: nope... I guess it was just that no errors showed. [01:03] LcnLnx: I even pinged Google, and it didn't work. === fakebruce89 is now known as bruce89 [01:04] I have a permitions problem with USB drives, I often get a message saying I am not privilaged to mount the volume. This is not consistant as I can reboot an the issue goes away with some drives but not others. Does anyone have any ideas?? [01:04] Excessi0n: im not sure what youre suggesting [01:05] b1n42y: well that's not what i am sure. === bruicelee is now known as brucelee [01:05] LcnLnx: okay... when I retype "sudo route add default ..." it just spits out "file exists". [01:05] m1dlg: whats FS ? [01:05] any, mostly fat32 [01:05] stweston, thats weird [01:06] LcnLnx: quite. [01:06] m1dlg: logs? [01:06] ? [01:06] Excessi0n: i dont use cube and compiz . [01:06] you need to help me on that one [01:06] stweston, can you ping the mac? [01:06] b1n42y: Hi, how can i use to set opennssh-server to only allow specific tunnels? Eg to my macbook (sharing wifi) via ethernet. The box connects to the cube. [01:07] LcnLnx: huh? sorry... I'll check [01:07] LcnLnx: yes. [01:07] I have also pulled my 2nd HDD out and put it in a caddy, I have a suspect drive, and this is ext3 and this also has the permitions error [01:08] stweston, hmm..whats the output for $ route [01:08] LcnLnx: one second. [01:09] Hey? Is there some way I can see what a Windows .lnk shortcut file does? [01:09] KFP: look at it [01:09] KFP: it's just text [01:10] I can't paste it, for (seemingly) obvious reasons, but it says that my destination and link-local have blank gateways, while default has my mac. [01:10] bruce89: I tried, but gedit says it cannot open the file. [01:10] kfp, But there is any output on the i. [01:10] KFP: less then [01:10] quick question, I set up netbeans for java only, now I want to add c++ and ruby capability, do i need to do a complete removal or can i just make it download the added sections? [01:10] LcnLnx: (as a gateway) ^ [01:10] bln42y and bruce89 : I dont know anything about pulling my logs up, but I have tryed my mediaplayer and the error came up, it fixed it's self when I rebooted, I then rebooted and it broke again. I have also pulled a suspect HDD with ext3 on it and this does the same when in a USB SATA caddy [01:11] Hey, when you right click and share a folder, what mechanism does that use to do the smb sharing? [01:11] what's lighter? lxde or enlightenment? [01:11] stweston, it seems to be ok isnt it? dont understand why this isnt working [01:11] cousteau, lxde [01:11] LcnLnx: is what okay? [01:11] ok, good choice then [01:11] stweston, the output for $ route [01:11] LcnLnx: the connection to the mac is fine, but it seems that it's just the 'net that it won't work... [01:11] cousteau: just go all out, go fluxbox :P [01:12] LcnLnx: well, I wouldn't know about the output ofr route. [01:12] Hi, [01:12] alex_21, Hi , is there a way to make sure, and now my pidgin keeps freezing when i ps aux |grep identd nothing comes up as unallocated? [01:12] wait, found what I'm looking for [01:12] cheers [01:12] cipherZen, I'll give it a try [01:12] Is .HTAccess turned on by default in 8.04's Apache? [01:12] bruce89: It's just special characters. Less warned that it may be a binary file. [01:13] KFP: ah [01:13] Could someone help me fix my sound? I'm not really sure whats wrong besides it hasnt been working for the past 2-3 days. The only thing I can think of that might have caused this is an update to gstreamer or because i installed NAS (even thoguh i uninstalled the package). Help? [01:13] cousteau: i've had good experiences with it, but it takes some getting used to. very very light, but configuration can be harder. i'd recommend the linux mint community edition w/ fluxbox to get into it some [01:13] Fluxbox is a very good client. [01:13] stweston, no prob. you need to make sure the mac is sharing its connection [01:13] LcnLnx: it is. [01:13] Im trying to fill out a pdf form online. I download the form and fill it out, but when I save a copy it saves the original? Antone know how I can fill it out and save it, with the changes. [01:14] LcnLnx: I checked many times, and each time it says it's sharing its Ethernet. [01:14] I think I'll use LXDE for now [01:14] yeah, i love fluxbox, but it has some irritating quirks sometimes that you have to work around [01:14] Droopsta915: a lot of pdf files wont allow you to save with the form filled out [01:14] evil_tech, You have to save it and see. [01:14] Droopsta915: online pdf DON'T let you save.. and there's typically a warning about that when you try.. you could print it to a new pdf on your harddrive but then it wouldn't be edible later. [01:14] How can I find out if HTAccess is turned on by default? [01:14] Excessi0n: save what? [01:14] stweston, then it is voodoo magic ^^ [01:14] i really wish someone would make a decent ubuntu fluxbox subdistro.... [01:15] any recommendations fr a good usenet reader..gui please and no pan [01:15] Alex_21: ask in #ubuntu-server [01:15] LcnLnx: now... here's a question: when Ubuntu's installing something, does that mean that it's connected? 'cause it's currently (attempting to) install Vbox. [01:15] forget fluxbox. The original blackbox is better. [01:15] I'm trying to configure grip, but I can't find my cd drive. Rhythmbox sees it, but I can't find it in /mount, /dev, /media, etc. Grip doesn't like cdda://scd0/, which is the best I've been able to find. Any advice? [01:15] evil_tech: What should i look to see other wireless networks when i download that just save the file system of the hardware drivers app. I'm connected to a manual. Is that what you are asking? [01:15] Well. Okay. That's a lie. [01:15] no i was asking why i cant suspend my computer and where I should look to see why [01:15] Scunizi: I finally got it on the cd lol. Thanks [01:16] What is the lightest Window Manager that I can make look like OS X Tiger? [01:16] Jon829: great!.. you're off to a new adventure [01:16] Alex_21: You should just embrace crazy window managers that don't look like other OSes. [01:16] chriszf, That should work smoothly with vista for years. It's a bit complicated for my irc. What channel would i download if i look to see why suspend is not in rpison. [01:16] hello everyone, i was just wondering if there is an Ubuntu Google Summer of Code IRC channel. I tried signing up for the mailing list yesterday but I haven't heard back. Does anyone in here plan on applying to be a student or mentor? [01:16] stweston, if your /etc/apt/sources.list is configured to get the packages from the internet, yes. [01:16] LcnLnx: okay. [01:17] Scunizi: Yea this will be fun. Thanks again and have a good night [01:17] Jon829: you too [01:17] akraft, maybe cdda:///dev/scd0? [01:18] No idea which Window Mangaer is lightest and can look like OS X Tiger. [01:18] ? [01:18] I need to do this for a client [01:18] Who uses OS X 10.4 [01:18] cousteau: I'll try it [01:18] me [01:18] Alex_21: me [01:18] Alex_21, XFCE has some aqua-ish themes [01:19] XFCE. Nothing else? [01:19] Alex_21: you want your linux to look like mac? [01:19] Alex_21: I got a tutorial if u want [01:19] Yes, but It is an older system too [01:19] Alex_21: http://www.internetling.com/2008/07/16/the-big-x-window-manager-guide-with-screenshots/ [01:19] Xfce is the same theming as GNOME (GTK+ you see) [01:19] For GNome? [01:19] XFCE is also good for low-RAM computers [01:20] bruce89, XFCE has different themes than Gnome [01:21] Is... excessi0n a bot? [01:21] well, the GTK+ theming is the same [01:21] Or a crazy person? [01:21] maybe you can install XFCE's on Gnome, but you get more themes with xubuntu-desktop [01:21] you can still play gnome games on xfce though (if they are installed) [01:21] chriszf: A better solution is just a bot. [01:21] cousteau: it doesn't like that either. This is so stupid. Rhythmbox thinks it's at cdda://1#/dev, but that isn't working either. [01:21] some decent first person shooters for *nix are openarena and assualt (that are in the repos ) [01:22] what can cause a kernel update to be held back? [01:22] Thanks, I saved the pdf file to the desktop, fill it out, then save to file and it kept the changes. [01:22] UrbanTerror is also good [01:22] akraft, I don't have Grip installed here, sorry [01:22] needs no isntallation [01:22] so I don't remember what config it was [01:22] hi. i'm trying to bridge an internet connection. the computer that will act as a bridge has internet through ath0, and must relay in on eth0 to another computer. i just tried this and completely screwed up my networking. anyone have any pointers?

I wonder if there's a grip channel around here... [01:23] (linux 64, 32 or mac [.app]) [01:24] I'm running Windows XP inside of VirtualBox on Ubuntu and it doesn't see the USB ports on my laptop. Does anyone have some advice how I could fix that? [01:24] akraft, try: /dev/scd0 [01:24] cousteau: I think I did, but I will now [01:24] akraft, http://nostatic.org/grip/doc/ar01s04.html#cdconfig [01:25] DaveIngram, virtualbox-ose has no usb support [01:25] hey does anyone know how to make a net wrok between an xbox 360 [01:25] without any cdda:// or something [01:25] If I connect a bluetooth device how can I see where its mounted? [01:25] If your RAM is 4Gb, how large should ur partition be.... Shld be it 4*3 = 12Gb.... [01:25] bazhang: there's a little icon for USB.. are you certain? [01:25] javierg, How to see the partitions aren't even mounted. [01:25] paging partion, i mean [01:25] yoyit2, internet connection sharing? did you not read the link? [01:26] DaveIngram, where did you get it from? repos or other [01:26] bazhang: i think there is an option in preference to turn on usb [01:26] at least there is in the windows version [01:26] Ububegin: just slightly more than 4 GB [01:26] Excessi0n, Huh? I just connected a Bkelkin USB to my ubuntu, and want to see how its mounted too on the system. I justed /mnt but its not there. [01:26] javierg: Bazhang just in the system. [01:26] cousteau: ahh, closing the app and restarting it fixed it. There's no "apply" option or anything, so I assumed it was doing it automagically. [01:27] bruce89: so the factor of 3 is not really relevant if the RAM is large... [01:27] bazhang: apt-get ..it's the Sun xVM VirtualBox [01:27] cousteau: /dev/scd0 was the one. [01:27] DaveIngram, then that is -ose (from repos) [01:27] Thanks! [01:27] akraft, :) [01:27] hey [01:27] ububegin: i have 2gb ram no swap [01:27] bazhang: ya i did i dont think im haveing problem sharing the internet it is that eth0 thats whats connected to my xbox is not ready so i think its the network [01:27] bazhang: OK.. version 2.1.2.. so no USB? [01:27] hey you are so gay [01:27] free -m shows that 1200 is used 700mb free [01:27] eamon, stop that [01:28] Does anyone here have any issues with pulse audio muting the master volume when sound sharing? [01:28] eamon: pls go the #gay channel.... dont bother us here [01:28] bazhang: any ideas [01:28] Niphyr: just plan the partitions and you dont have to go. [01:28] yoyit2, you read the link? [01:29] Ububegin: that did the trick [01:29] yoyit2, there are likely several tutorials on that [01:29] bazhang: ya i did and my eth0 wont work [01:30] thiebaude: maybe I will use 6Gb for the paging partition [01:30] bazhang: i cant even make a network with it [01:30] Ububegin: use 1 1/2 times your ram [01:30] bazhang, thanks for the link. how do i undo everything once i'm done? [01:31] Could someone help me fix my sound? I'm not really sure whats wrong besides it hasnt been working for the past 2-3 days. The only thing I can think of that might have caused this is an update to gstreamer or because i installed NAS (even thoguh i uninstalled the package). Help? [01:31] ?

[01:33] hey guys I have a pci wireless card that reads on wlan1 but will not work with gnome applet. But when I plug in the usb nic along with the pci. applet sees both cards. How can I get it to recognize just the PCI? BTW I am also having this SIOCSIFFLAGS: no such file crap going clean xubuntu install [01:33] Ububegin, it's recommended to be 1.5x RAM when you have about 512 MB RAM [01:33] bazhang, thanks for the link. how do i undo everything once i'm done? [01:33] When when will be a flash movie on line in a version mismatch. [01:33] (ics) [01:33] functionofxy, undo ics? [01:33] yes, bazhang [01:34] but if you have 4 GiB RAM you probably won't even need RAM [01:34] cousteau: but would a person ever need swap if they have 4Gb [01:34] I mean, won't need SWAP [01:34] unless you want to hibernate [01:34] bazhang, especially if i gave the wrong iptables command [01:34] or you want the computer to hibernate [01:34] thats true [01:34] i have 4GB on my box, constantly use virtualization and have about 50 windows open at any given time, and i dont use all 4GB usually [01:35] I cant get the /etc/rc.local script to execute on system start [01:35] but you do need swap for hibernate [01:35] what can I do? [01:35] cipherZen: whats hiberate... [01:35] I think SWAP is necessary when you want to suspend/hibernate, but not if you don't [01:35] and have enough RAM [01:35] bazhang, should i hold? [01:35] cipherZen: kk, get it... i was thinking of the Java hiberate.. [01:36] do you need swap to suspend? [01:36] Ububegin: it's basically the ability to save the current state of RAM to disk and put the computer to sleep, so when you start it back up again it loads the system state [01:36] functionofxy, were you successful? [01:36] ah cool [01:36] maybe that is why i cant suspend [01:36] evil_tech, I'm not sure [01:36] no, i gave the wrong iptables command #1, forgot to put the right interfaces in === andyh2 is now known as andyh2|away [01:36] functionofxy, I really dont know what you are asking; to disable ics just means to stop the sharing [01:36] evil_tech: i don't think suspend requires swap space, i may be wrong though. i thought suspend kept RAM powered up [01:36] bazhang, i need to undo an iptables rule [01:37] bazhang, the first one. i dont know iptables [01:37] cipherZen: that is what i thought as well [01:37] Eanda-sbs: you dont have a raid 5 was the one. [01:37] cipherZen: I always leave my comp on 24*7 at the office.... Seldom found the need to hibernate... :) ... [01:37] but i have no swap and suspend doesnt work and it is supposed to with out tweaking in the mini 9 [01:37] Ububegin: tch [01:38] functionofxy, you are doing this manually or with a front end (ie firestarter, etc) [01:38] manually. according to the link you sent me. the first option on that page [01:38] Ubuegin: then you should be fine without swap :P. It usually doesn't hurt to leave a couple GB to it though, unless youre on an SSD and don't want the extra writes [01:39] Hallo anyone know how to deal with a murdered network card?

Sudo cpufreq-selector should be under your /var/log folder ... The 0 refers to the last n lines of a gnome dbus viewer? [02:03] Thanks. I'll try that.

[02:09] [02:10] hello, i installed pulse audio so i could have multiple programs emit sound. my first program plays sound good, but my second one is distorted and sounds like a bunch of random noise. [02:10] When using Synaptic, is there any way to see what repo a package is from? [02:10] sudo apt-get install build-essential didn't work. Well it worked but ./configure still says glib is missing.

[02:10] anybody here with suspend working on the dell mini 9 [02:11] Tylian: install glib dev packages [02:11] Tylian: build-essential is only the core build tools [02:11] evil_tech: do you mean it doesn't wake up? [02:11] Any more in depth instructions? (Complete noob XD) [02:11] !find glib [02:11] Tylian: since xchat is in the repos, you can use 'sudo apt-get build-dep xchat' to install everything needed to build xchat [02:11] Found: libdbus-glib-1-2, libdbus-glib-1-2-dbg, libdbus-glib-1-dev, libdbus-glib-1-doc, libglib-perl (and 69 others) [02:12] crdlb: I'll try that.

[02:28] how to create repository in desktop for my testing workserver but desktop connects via wireless and two computer via wired lan [02:29] its generally recommended against [02:29] xiven yup I got that too and that would be probably because you had other drivers installed and so then you installed the nic drivers on top of that [02:29] should I add my driver name after the -m?

[02:38] sebsebseb: assuming the PPA has been disabled, aptitude would class them as locally created packages [02:38] _VIM_: yeah most of us have, we can't ctrl alt backspace to log out [02:38] banished: maybe, but I wouldn't count on it. I just bough the system recenty, brand-new, and itś been giving me headaches with getting anything to do with the GPU working right. I only recently got it working under Windows XP Pro when I found a site that has an executable that mods the drivers for you. Thank you Microshaft, for your propriety driver BS. [02:39] What's the difference between `apt-get install ubuntu-desktop` and `tasksel install ubuntu-desktop`? [02:39] <_VIM_> sebsebseb: yeah i heard about that, is there a work around besides maybe /etc/init.d/?dm restart? [02:39] BlackAeronaut: well, what is lspci telling you? [02:39] bruce89: the ppa would still be enabled I guess, unless the upgrade sorted it out [02:39] banished: I've been trying to get the proper drivers into place - part of the problem. The new box won have internet until I can get it to boot properly. [02:39] BlackAeronaut: you can use vesa [02:40] sebsebseb: AFAIK the upgrader disables all 3rd party sources [02:40] banished: whatś the command line for that? And I already tried Vesa - itś a no go.

[02:41] anybody have any ideas as to why Firefox would be coming up with a completely blank screen on startup? [02:41] Tylian: depends on the permissions of the folder. Which one do you want to save to? [02:41] Lampp lol: /opt/lampp/htdocs [02:41] <_VIM_> Tylian: gksudo gedit /home/tylian/file [02:41] BlackAeronaut: boot to command line (add a 3 for runlevel 3 in the grub boot line) than log in on the textmode terminal, edit your xorg.conf (sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and set Driver "vesa" in Section "Device" [02:41] <[dragon]Rendrek> scompt: set your startup page to about:blank :P [02:42] Tylian: what _VIM_ said [02:42] banished: already there. Terminal is all it will boot me into. :( [02:42] <_VIM_> scompt: have you tried running firefox in a terminal by 'firefox --ProfileManager' no quotes [02:42] That works [02:42] is there any graphical partitioner? if it comes by default the better [02:42] Tomasso: gparted [02:43] !gparted [02:43] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [02:43] _VIM_: yup, the profile manager doesn't come up, but rather the same blank main screen, with no menus, no toolbars, nothing [02:43] banished: le me check [02:43] <_VIM_> scompt: hmmm how did you install firefox? [02:43] _VIM_: synaptic [02:43] Tomasso: The main Ubuntu LiveCD also comes with GParted in System->Administration [02:43] if I change my firefox theme to a theme made for an older version of Firefox, will it still work fine? [02:43] Droopsta915: It won't let you install it if it won't work. [02:44] banished: there is no driver entry for section "Device". Make one?

Saved and exited to terminal. [02:45] I've tried completely uninstalling it and reinstalling to no avail [02:45] Startx now? [02:45] bruce89: I guess if I leave KDE4 as is, when 9.04 is released on the final, it will upgrade those packages to proper versions, and then no problems? [02:45] how does aptitude work better than apt for removing packages? (ive always heard it does that better) [02:45] another thing, does anyone know of the Remote Desktop log file ? there seemed to be an unauthorized access here :S [02:46] sebsebseb: only if the jaunty packages have newer version numbers [02:46] bruce89: well can remove all kde stuff and re install [02:46] What's the difference between sudo and gksudo? Stupid questions ftw~ [02:46] anyone know why when i try to run a c++ open gl program with eclipse it say. launch failed, binary not found? [02:46] BlackAeronaut: yes, or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [02:46] <_VIM_> !gksudo [02:46] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [02:46] Thank you. [02:46] sebsebseb: look in aptitude [02:46] I'm interested in the ubuntu gdb patches to support pie (position independent code) [02:47] why repositories never get updated?

[02:49] veritos: nowadays, nothing [02:50] bruce89: Out of curiosity, what *did* differ? [02:50] Who in here uses the Xubuntu Desktop? [02:50] bruce89 It's against gdb-6.8pre. Could you also point me to that source file then? [02:50] I've never figured out how to restore windows after minimizing, like they just disappear [02:50] veritos: tasksel hasn't always used aptitude as its backend [02:50] I've been looking at packages that have support for the 3470 side. I already downloaded them and copied them over into the package archives for apt-get (forgot the exact directory for that).

Even KDE runs better then gnome on this [03:01] Anyone know where APT store is package cache?

It is an actual web page that pops-up before it allows any other traffic. You have to click a button to authorize the connection. I believe it prevents malicious use of zombie code for DOS attacks.

[04:05] ruben23: active directory? or just a workgroup? [04:05] cedriczg: sporatic barely responsive even more weird is that the laptop that first showed the symptoms is now working fine [04:05] wait nvm [04:05] ruben23, I would also try to do that with my virtual-box. As far as I know you should have samba installed [04:05] it was for a moment working [04:06] workgroup [04:06] ruben23: have you seen this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [04:06] on my network i can see the workgroup of my windows network problem if i open cant see the workstations [04:07] ruben23: what if you put in the name of the workstation?

[04:08] and it shows me the shared folders for the machine called servername [04:08] pturing: ok ill test it now [04:09] javes: 1) this channel does not support ultimate edition 2) consider using frostwire instead (google) 3) please don't repeat [04:09] pturing:if ill install samba...is it server or client.. [04:10] okies jrib...my apology [04:11] ruben23: it's kinda both [04:11] thanks jrib... [04:11] ruben23: The samba libraries are used by the file manager and such when you browse other machine's shares [04:11] javes: no, but if I wanted to know, I'd do a google search like this: limewire pro ubuntu ultimate [04:11] jrib: what does this channel support? [04:12] ruben23: But I think when you run the server part that might help you browse the workgroup too [04:12] javes: ubuntu and official derivatives [04:12] ruben23: it's windows so it's weird ;) [04:12] Pidgin crashes every time i send an IM over msn.

Command should be sudo mount -t smbfs //server/share /mount/point [04:21] yea it is allready installed [04:22] thought smbfs was switched for cifs [04:23] or am i wrong [04:23] snarkster: command is working for me both ways [04:23] ok cool [04:23] snarkster: -t cifs and -t smbfs seem to have the same result. Not sure if there are subtle differences or not [04:23] so both cmds work awesome news === Andre_Gondim-afk is now known as Andre_Gondim- === Andre_Gondim- is now known as Andre_Gondim [04:24] yah means people's fstab and scripts won't break yet :) [04:24] yup [04:24] Can I run 64-bit code on my 32-bit Ubuntu (installed on a 64-bit system)? [04:24] I'd like to make a DOS boot disk, and try and recover an OEM 80g hard drive, is this OT, or can we discuss it here? [04:25] Counterspell: basically no [04:25] Counterspell, i guess you cant... [04:25] Counterspell: can you run 32bit software on a 64bit OS yes [04:25] Counterspell: can you run 32bit virtual machines inside a 64bit host OS, yes [04:25] hello am i on here with xchat? [04:25] lol i guess so [04:26] wrektjet: yes [04:26] some VM software will actually let you run a 64bit VM under a 32bit host. Which is crazy voodou as far as I can tell [04:26] bah [04:26] Counterspell: can 64bit virtual machines run on 32bit virtual machine, yes they can now with virtualbox if the computer has hardware virtualization [04:26] pturing, Virtualbox actually does [04:26] Counterspell: I know you didn't ask me to say that stuff, but could be useful info anyway :d [04:26] yup, you're here with xchat ;P [04:26] Counterspell: and above it was meant to say 32bit host OS [04:26] yah, hard to remember which VMs support which features, hehe. especially with how fast some of them are moving :) [04:27] sebsebseb: I want to run a 64-bit MySQL binary distribution (compiled with Intel's compiler) on my 32-bit Ubuntu, is that possible? [04:27] Counterspell, no, you can't [04:27] damn ok, thanks for the info guys [04:27] Counterspell, you're welcome [04:27] Counterspell: yah, suggest you get 64bit Ubuntu. I am using it and it works well for me [04:28] Counterspell, the short answer is you can use LESS bitspace all day, you can't use MORE than your OS [04:28] I didn't install 64-bit in fear of future complications, maybe problems with drivers and such [04:29] Counterspell: If you care about performance ( I am guessing you do if you are looking to use icc-compiled stuff) then you may want to look at this article http://gmplib.org/32vs64.html [04:29] Counterspell, ubuntu 64 bits works great [04:29] Counterspell: One good thing about linux and open source is that switching drivers over to 64bit wasn't the big nightmare that it has been for that other OS [04:30] Counterspell: there were some minor bumps, but now I would be surprised if you ran into any driver problems in 64bit that you didn't for 32 [04:30] anyone: if i install Wine/Wine Doors and if i succeed installing windows programs in my ubuntu 8.10. is it possible to have a virus? [04:31] but unfortunately I don't think there is an easy way to switch over withotu re-installing :( [04:31] javes: hopefully some day wine will be close enough to perfect that we will have to worry about that :) [04:32] anyone with ubuntu 8.10 on a mini 9 and an sd card with working suspend?

[04:35] off topic: i saw that band a couple of times [04:36] pretty ridiculous [04:36] g4lt-lappy: i seem to be having hit and miss luck with sd readers of late. my tc1100's stopped working, the dells prevents ubuntu from suspending, and my pcmcia one i was using as a readyboost cache for vista on my tablet also died [04:37] hey can anyone here take a look at my thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6923709#post6923709 [04:37] i will take a look [04:37] thanks [04:38] to resume it, your computer is slow? [04:39] Ostien, chsh. bash seems to have a problem with one of the files it sources IME, I chsh'd to tcsh and got about twice the speed of loadihng a terminal [04:39] yeah but its not just the terminal that is slow [04:39] Ostien: can you run top and paste it to us through http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ? [04:40] sure === namasamaran is now known as ia_ce [04:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/134061/ [04:41] anybody happen to know how Canonical feels about people using 'buntu in the name for unofficial derivatives? [04:41] does anyone remember the touch command to involk sys check @ boot? [04:41] What do I need to edit to make the OS recognize a certain file extension and open with a certain application? [04:41] Ostien, that's fine, I answered the question you asked. I can't read your mind. if you have other things going wrong, TELL US [04:41] Is samba preinstalled on Ubuntu? [04:42] okay but I'm not sure what solution you gave me, forgive my noobishness [04:42] also all the information I have is in the thread I posted [04:43] Ostien, bash takes a while to load, if you change your sell to something other, you can improve your speed [04:43] Stepan1: if u dont have samba just type "sudo apt-get install samba" [04:43] okay but this is not a slight optimization thing it is something that was working I did some updates and now it isint [04:43] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6923709#post6923709 [04:44] mn, on nautilus just right click and select open with [04:44] kdesudo also takes a long time to load as well as pulling up the OO file manager [04:44] cedriczg: don't wan to have to do that. I want the OS to recognize the extension [04:45] also I'd rather not change to another shell if I don't have to, which I shouldent [04:45] mn, well after you do that you can also choose the program by defaut [04:45] Ostien: yah top looks fine. This is a long shot but could you run this in your home dir: ls -al | grep root [04:45] mn, right click > properties [04:45] can i run ubuntu on my intel macbook? anyone else do this? would i use the normal i386 desktop version? [04:46] tastychef, yes you can [04:46] mn, right click > properties > open with [04:46] tastychef, at www.ubuntuforums.org there is a special secction to apple [04:46] pturing: what am I looking for? [04:46] tastychef: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook [04:46] tastychef, yes [04:46] linuxonmac, of course, you name is a dead giveaway that you know what you're talking about ;) [04:46] tastychef: your going to want to install rEFIt [04:47] Dreamglider: thanks. if i want my windows machine to access my linux printer i assume i have to install samba on both? [04:47] rdw200169" [04:47] refit.. whats that do [04:47] rdw200169: yes [04:47] That won't make the OS recognize the file type. It will tell me (in properties) that test.cpp is a C++ source file, but it tells me that test.asm is of unknown type. I want to change that/ [04:47] Ostien: if you accidentally have a file kde uses with its ownership set to root, that could cause trouble [04:48] pturing: nope nothing of the sort going on there [04:48] Stepan1: on windows it's called something like 'File and print sharing for microsoft networks' [04:48] I've had a similer problem a while back and removing all references to ipv6 in my /etc/hosts file did the trick but that not fixing it this time [04:48] Stepan1: (the idea of samba is it speaks windows' own language for doing file sharing and printers) [04:48] tastychef: its a bootloader that will reconize your linux partition [04:49] oh ok [04:49] is the current ubuntu still 8.10? [04:49] tastychef: yes until April [04:49] oh ok [04:49] ill just wait then.. [04:49] pturing: got it, thanks, ill give it a try [04:49] I think end of April is when we get 9.04 which will be current until October [04:49] pturing, wich day in april ? [04:49] this is regarding autorun usb [04:50] how do i make a usb autorun, ubs side as well as ubuntu side configuration? [04:50] ubuntu 8.04 it is [04:50] Ostien: check /var/log/messages .... anything weird there? [04:51] ne help? [04:51] Ostien: also if you can switch to a virtual terminal (ctrl+shift+1) and login. Then you can setup a file called .xinitrc in your home that just says: xterm [04:51] sam1, the short answer is you don't. autorun violates the principle of least authority [04:52] Ostien: then run: startx It will bring up a blank X session with a terminal. Then you can run startkde in that terminal. Maybe you will see some useful error messages [04:52] pturing, perhaps there are some odd things in /var/log/messages I'll do a paste hold on [04:52] hello, is their a way to use a minimal install cd with GUI? [04:52] Ostien: this is sort of an advanced procedure if you're not familiar with all that stuff [04:53] pturing, nah I get what you are saying, first I'll link to some odd things in /var/log/messages [04:54] sam1: yah, sorry. I've never looked into autorun on Ubuntu because I always that it was nuts [04:54] pturing, it's necessary for me rite now [04:55] is there some setting that needs to be configured in ubuntu [04:55] ? [04:55] cd/dvd autorun? [04:56] pturing, http://paste.ubuntu.com/134064/ gonna try that other process though [04:56] nopes [04:56] usb autorun [04:57] via an autorun script as i've read it so far [04:57] sam1: well you could hack whatever ubuntu is using to automount devices now to execute a script I guess [04:57] udev maybe [04:57] sam1: are you trying to autorun a windows program? [04:57] na [04:57] Ostien: check your ram [04:57] prout et reprout [04:58] sam1: what are you trying to do with autorun? [04:58] pturing, check it how? [04:58] Ostien: 80% chance you have a hardware problem. suggest you boot the Ubuntu CD and rum memtest86. It's one of the boot options [04:58] actually it's my colege project to have a usb protection sys [04:58] Ostien: leave it running overnight. If you see any red lines in the morning, then 99% chance your ram is bad [04:58] so for that i've to have a autorun [04:59] sam1: well usb protection thru autorun most likely=fail [04:59] sam1: but I'm not here to judge you, try this https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/3145 [04:59] the problem statement is so [04:59] pturing, really? I did a system check not too long ago and it would be very convient that a hardware issue would pop up and that it would not have anything to do with me installing all of gnome then uninstalling it in a very dramatic fashion [04:59] sam1 but requires OS side config so it's not realy useful [04:59] i hope u just leave other issues apart [05:00] yes, it's ok [05:00] gimme a solution.... whatever it is! [05:00] sam1: You could install a current wine .deb package from winehq.org [05:00] sam1: the link i posted there is a solution there [05:00] sam1: I think maybe they have this now for windows autorun files [05:00] and [05:00] ? [05:01] ok lemme read it,fr500 [05:01] fr500: is that working for you? I seem to remember that I used to have that tab in my preferences but it's not there for me now [05:01] pturing, and like I said this has been an issue with others involving their /etc/hosts file and like I said I've expernced that before and it may be the same problem but not jusrt as simple as an /etc/hosts fix [05:01] pturing: didn't try [05:01] does anyone know if Intrepid should have an hcid.conf file? [05:02] for bluetooth? [05:02] sam1 this may be handy too https://wiki.ubuntu.com/autorun [05:02] Ostien: yah, it's possible there is another problem but if it was me I would check the ram first [05:03] pturing: it's on the nautilus preferences window now it seems [05:03] Ostien, that's the second easy fix you've disagreed with and rejected out of hand. do you WANT this fixed? [05:03] Geoffrey2: I have one. It's in /etc/bluetooth and it's owned by bluez-utils [05:03] pturing, any suggestions on other solutions though [05:04] g4lt-lappy, not true [05:04] g4lt-lappy, I have reasons for not wanting to use another shell [05:04] pturing, I'm looking in that directory, and I don't have one.... [05:04] g4lt-lappy, also I ran memtest like a week ago [05:05] i'm attempting to run kail 7.4 beta on intrepid amd64. I'm receiving the following: "./kaiengine: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I thought libwxgtk2.8-0 would have provided this, however it's already installed. help? :) [05:05] kaid rather [05:05] g4lt-lappy, and I just said I did a massive bit of installing and uninstalling so the problem probably lies there [05:06] Ostien: the startkde thing. or maybe you could see what all packages you have and uninstall some more. Or just re-install. Ubuntu install doesn't take long [05:06] Ostien, just forget it. I ain't fighting with you to fix your machine [05:06] Geoffrey2: Try installing the bluez-utils package [05:07] pturing, I'm having issues with the startkde attempt how do I get startx to run on something not screen 0? [05:07] g4lt-lappy, wow testy testy [05:08] Ostien: right. you can either stop kdm first ( sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop) or run startx -- :0 [05:08] or rather startx -- :3 [05:08] (not 0) [05:08] gocha [05:08] .xinitrc may have to have executable permissions. I don't remember for sure [05:08] pturing, it's already installed [05:09] Geoffrey2: that's weird. can you run these commands? dpkg -l | grep bluez; dpkg -L bluez-utils | grep /etc [05:09] pturing, sweet no slowdown for kuake in this kde run [05:09] Geoffrey2: also, ls /etc/bluetooth [05:10] pturing, gonna try kdesudo and other such things to see if this is a working kde session [05:11] Ostien: that's weird. I was hoping it would be slow but there would be an error message that would point to why. I'm not sure how to figure out why this is not as slow as starting it from kdm [05:11] Ostien: but I must admit I don't often use kd [05:11] er, kde [05:11] pturing, yeah it is odd all things seem to work fine in that kde [05:12] pturing, slow as molasses in this kde still [05:12] so it was ok and then it got slow or what? [05:12] How can I remove an orphaned icon in the application list? It's not really attached to any software any more. [05:13] pturing, nah I was switching back and forth [05:13] pturing, the original kde session is slow and the one from tty1 is fast [05:13] RickZilla: was it for something special that was not installed through apt/synaptic/etc. ? [05:13] RickZilla: maybe you can remove the file for it from /usr/share/applications [05:13] pturing: Correct. Google earth that I tried to install manually [05:13] pturing, what version of ubuntu are you using? [05:14] pturing: I'll check it out. Thanks for the info [05:14] pturing, though when I switch back to tty1 x has stoped and I need to kill it and restart it [05:15] Geoffrey2: you know what, you're right. I might have the jaunty blutooth stuff installed.... (long story) [05:15] Ostien: when you run startx from tty1 it probably actually starts it on tty8 [05:16] Ostien: or maybe it just crashed, hehe. that's never been really stable [05:16] pturing, nope its on tty8 [05:17] Geoffrey2: or maybe i'ts in the backports repository. trying to look but packages.ubuntu.com is slow right now [05:18] File isn't in usr/share/applications...got some other ways to remove it? [05:18] pturing, okay so it works in this instance but not on the one on tty7 (my original) still slow goings here as far as terminals and such [05:20] I made 3 primary partitions on my flash drive, installed three distros, Partit 3 Ubuntu LiveCD, Partit 2 SystemRescueCD and partit 1 Ophcrack. Can i install a GRUB on the ubuntu partition and make enteries for Sys rescueCD and Ophcrack in it so i can boot them? [05:20] RickZilla: have you logged out and logged back in since removing google earth? [05:21] Dreamglider: yes probably [05:21] Dreamglider, short answer: if you want to see the other partitions, it has to be in the MBR of the disk [05:21] No, usually the icons are removed right away. I can try that, though. Thanks for the help. [05:21] if you put it in partition 3, all it will see is partition 3 [05:22] RickZilla: yah no guarantees but worth a shot. I don't remember right now where the stuff in your home directory is for this [05:23] g4lt-lappy: How do i install GRUB on the MBR on the flash ? [05:23] Ostien: that's weird. maybe this new information will cause a kubuntu expert to recognize the problem [05:24] Dreamglider,typically you have to do stuff to get it NOT to install in the MBR, so just installgrub and it should work [05:25] is there a preferd format on the ubntu partition [05:25] ? [05:25] yeah I'll post this revelation on the thread and see if anyone can come up with anything [05:25] g4lt-lappy: ok i i take it that ubuntu installed GRUB is in the MBR since i installed Ubuntu Last, how do i get the other distros to show in the GRUB then ? [05:25] MrAlexandro, ext3 or ext4 typically, but you can use a lot of different types [05:25] pturing, Thanks! [05:26] Dreamglider, edit the grub menu. I'm somewhat surprised the installer didn't catch them for you [05:26] Is there a known bug with adding a jar to the classpath (/usr/share/ant/lib/) for ant that doesn't actually work on ubuntu? I'm just trying to get the scp task to work... and I added the new jsch-1.4x jar to /usr/share/ant/lib on my ubuntu box, and its not working for some reason [05:26] Dreamglider: you may look at http://manual.sidux.com/en/sys-admin-grub-bootman2-en.htm in the multiple booting section (sorry I don't have an ubuntu-specific link at the moment) [05:26] Laptop completely freezes when I insert an SD card and it requires a hard reboot http://pastebin.ca/1365930 [05:26] any ideas? [05:26] g4lt-lappy: i have not tried to boot yet, i used Netbootin to install the distros on the flash [05:27] dremtry it, it may Just have Worked [05:28] Dreamglider, ^^^^^ [05:28] g4lt-lappy i will use ext 3 if that is the most stable and prefered format [05:28] g4lt-lappy: ill have a look thank you. [05:28] I just installed ubuntu using debootstrap from another linux install, and i have some odd behaviour, updater installed a newer kernel and it didn't add it to grub menu.lst .. and vi isn't working properly i get strange behaviour , ie: it doens't say insert but inserts characters but not alwaysthe correct ones .. bad keymap? [05:28] Hi. I want to install Ubuntu on my Asus Eee 1000. [05:28] How can I reverse the print order of all pages, for a specific printer? [05:29] MrAlexandro, honestly, that's what the installer will do for you unless you tellit to things differently. typically my adivice in these maters is "why mess with the defaults?" [05:29] MindVirus: Do it up. :-) [05:29] I put the CDROM iso onto my USB drive. [05:29] MrAlexandro: yes it is the most commonly used and is considered stable [05:29] But it's telling me "invalid operating system." [05:29] MindVirus: What did you use to burn the ISO? === Seeress_Aina is now known as CodeDragon [05:29] he put it on a usb drive [05:29] System->Administration->USB whatever. === zezu is now known as ZeZu [05:30] Create a USB Startup Disk. [05:30] MindVirus: do you have virus protection enabled in bios? can you boot other linux CDs? [05:30] I haven't tried. [05:30] how do i dual boot win xp sp3? [05:31] MrAlexandro: yah I found that debootstrap does not do everything the installer does, and you get a lot of weird problems [05:31] if something stopped working recently, where can I find the log of updates applied to my system? === devilsadvocate is now known as away_da [05:31] Keal_, install it, install ubuntu, use grub to choose on boot. if you already have ubuntu installed, it should work, but you have to edit grub menus [05:31] Keal_: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm [05:32] pturing debootstrap? [05:32] MrAlexandro: sorry that was for ZeZu [05:32] how do i dual boot win xp sp3? [05:32] stonecobra: /var/log/dpkg.log* [05:32] ok:) [05:33] MindVirus: So what's your current status? [05:33] Keal_: did you see the article that linuxonmac linked? [05:33] pturing: any good way to solve some of these problems? i thought debootstrap was what the installer used ;| [05:33] TwoToneSpirit, trying to figure out whether or not I have Virus Protection enabled. [05:33] Looking for Linux CDs. [05:33] pturing: most of them are minor but would be nice to get them fixed [05:33] Oh just realized. [05:33] The Eee has no CD drive. [05:33] MindVirus: I have exactly zero experience installing from USB [05:33] I as well. [05:34] MindVirus: Well that kind of forces our hand then doesn't it. :-) [05:34] ?DCC SEND "ff???f?" 0 0 0 [05:34] ZeZu: I think maybe it does use it but it does some other things. I never pursued this far enough to find out all the differences so I don't know much more than that; sorry [05:34] TwoToneSpirit, :) [05:34] can two linux distros like ubuntu and slackware share swap?` [05:34] MindVirus: So, to your knowledge, is it as simple as copying the ISO to the USB drive? Doesn't seem like that can be right. [05:35] MrAlexandro: yup [05:35] I reconfigured my BIOS settings as well. [05:35] nice nice nice:D [05:35] I didn't copy the Iso. [05:35] *ISO. [05:35] MrAlexandro, yes, but I'll not be the one recommending to do it [05:35] I burned the ISO. [05:35] MindVirus: Wonderful. :-) [05:35] oh ok [05:35] MrAlexandro, as long as you dont hibernate [05:35] I don't see anything about virus protection. [05:35] g4lt-lappy what if i resise the swap from 2 gb to 1 gb eash. is that enough? [05:35] I killed a system with shared swap a decadde or so ago [05:35] I installed samba on my linux machine, now how can i access a printer from my windows machine? [05:36] yah, what away_da said. hehe : [05:36] pturing: thanks === TwoToneSpirit is now known as TwoToneSleeping [05:36] MrAlexandro, honestly, if you have enough main memory that 1G swap is indicated, I doubt you're using mch of it anyways [05:36] MrAlexandro, sharing swap is not a problem. but if you hibernate, the image is stored on swap, so booting into the other will wipe it (and destroying your hibernated session) [05:37] Stepan1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba#Sharing%20CUPS%20Printers then you should be able to go to \\ubuntu_machine from your windows machine and see the printer [05:37] oh ok. probably wont hibernate and then boot a new one, but is 1gb swap enough? [05:39] MrAlexandro, the OLD rule used to be "2x your main memory", and my 1G laptiop hardly ever touches swap, but for hibernation, you need AT LEAST your main memory size [05:39] oh i have 4gb ram:( [05:39] will someone please help me with a java issue? [05:39] i will put in a 4gb swap then and share it [05:39] MrAlexandro, so to hibernate you need a 4G swap [05:39] thanks :D [05:40] on my laptop I don't use hibernate. I just use suspend. [05:40] remember, though, if you sahre, and the other system TOUCHES swap, you've blown away your hibernated swession [05:40] what a very efficient email server? [05:40] i get it :D but if i hibernate one. i just have to make sure i dont boot the other:D [05:41] ShinyHat: I'll try if I can [05:41] daemon* [05:41] or software w/e [05:41] Anyone have any experience installing Ubuntu on the Asus Eee? [05:41] pturing: mind if i pm? [05:41] i will not use slackware much g4lt-lappy, someone talked me into trying it and it is too advanced for me [05:41] pturing: what if the two machines are not on the same server? can i access it via ip? [05:41] ShinyHat: I don't mind but you should post to the channel unless you have a good reason [05:42] i still don't understand how to add windows xp sp2 and dual boot it :> [05:42] :< [05:42] MindVirus, there's a whole community for eeebuntu [05:42] Where's that? [05:42] Nevermind. [05:42] Stepan1: you mean not on the same network? You might try doing it by ip [05:42] Is it supported by Ubuntu? [05:42] pturing: fair enough, just seems like there is a lot going on in the room [05:42] MindVirus: try #ubuntu-eeepc [05:42] I'm there. [05:42] !dualboot | Keal_ [05:42] Keal_: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [05:43] pturing: my problem is with using logmein [05:43] melik: what are you trying to do? lots of mail? [05:43] well its going to be a network of lets say 20-30 computers [05:43] Keal_ inbstall xp first. then make sure you have another parttition or free space on your hardrive. then create a linux partition and insert the cd and install the ubuntu with grub wich will set up the dual boot automatic [05:43] what would you recommend [05:43] i already have ubuntu installed :< [05:44] i was told before ubuntu needs to be installed first >8( [05:44] Keal_ then create a partition for xp and then reinstall grub as main bootloader [05:44] i don't get it! x_X [05:44] Keal_, install XP, just don't let it touch the MBR, then edit your grub menu accordingly, if it doesn't find it for you [05:44] Keal_: Either one will work, but installing Ubuntu second is easier. But it's certainly possible doing it the other way around. [05:44] !grub | Keal_ [05:44] Keal_: 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 [05:44] pturing: there is a thread here that describes my exact problem, but no resolution http://community.logmeinrescue.com/logmein/board/message?board.id=31&message.id=457 [05:44] how do i do that? [05:44] Keal_: follow the first link there afte you install XP [05:45] how do i keep it from touching the MBR? :< [05:45] melik: probably any of them will work fine [05:45] pturing: so i don't think it's just me being new and naive [05:45] pturing, i need names :$ [05:45] i know sendmail [05:45] Keal_: you can't. Windows doesn't play nice. So you have to just re-write GRUB afterwards (thats what the link covers). Once you do that, and you're booting with GRUB, you edit the menu.lst to add XP [05:45] postfix [05:45] what else is there [05:45] g4lt-lappy: yeah, how exactly do you prevent if from overwriting the mbr? [05:46] yo [05:46] do i lose all my ubuntu files :< [05:46] melik: I like qmail toaster. It's not for Ubuntu, but it's pretty good. It gets you all the stuff you want with a mail server [05:46] jtaji, I thought starting with W2k, windows tries to be nice about the MBR [05:46] g4lt-lappy: it sure doesn't, unfortunately [05:46] given I haven't touched redmiondware since 1998ish, I don't know from experience [05:47] pturing: I'm not sure how much you know about this, but hopefully you can help. I typed in "http://(myip):631/printers/" and i am getting "windows cannot connect to printer" error [05:47] Keal_: You should be able to install windows to a different partition. If you install to a different partition it won't touch your ubuntu files [05:47] (well, I have, but in virtual machines, which don't have issues) [05:47] idite nahyi [05:47] ok < [05:47] Hey, I've got an odd problem. My resolution wont stay at 1680x1080 [05:47] :< [05:48] Stepan1: I'm not sure where you are putting that on your windows machine, but you should not need to go to that address to access the printer from windows [05:49] you should be able to go to your ubuntu machine inside network neighborhood and just click on the printer [05:49] pturing: i tried to got by https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingFromWinXP, what should i type in the URL field? [05:50] CodeDragon: you have an odd resolution :) are you using the nvidia tool to set the resolution, or the system->preferences->screen resolution ? [05:50] system-preferences-screen resolution [05:51] ShinyHat: can you try running this... pasuspender firefox [05:51] any one here who can tell me if lilo or grub is the best main boot loader ? [05:51] maybe java is trying to use the sound and failing. just a wild guess. [05:51] pturing: from terminal? [05:51] ShinyHat: yah. close firefox first. [05:52] MrAlexandro: grub [05:52] MrAlexandro: you most likely want to be using grub, which is default [05:52] MrAlexandro: grub [05:52] Hi.. [05:52] lilo is basically walking dead nowadays [05:52] why do kubuntu live cd is very slower than xubuntu live cd ?? [05:52] My graphics card is integrated into my motherboard, it uses ATI [05:52] i don't think it's been updated in 5 years [05:53] Kimi, because KDE is about 10x as process-intensive? === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [05:53] Stepan1: yah this procedure looks harder to me. have you tried browsing to the printer in the file manager? [05:53] for me lilo is default now due to slackware, but i guess you guys have a guide on how to add os with partition path¨s (sda x ) [05:53] CodeDragon: Are you using the proprietary drivers or no? [05:53] I am [05:54] pturing: no [05:54] Kimi: yah xfce and xubuntu are designed to be light and fast. kde and kubuntu are designed to be fancy :) [05:54] pturing: not sure how to do that [05:54] python 3 on ubuntu - how? [05:54] guide for adding os¨s with the partition path in grub? [05:54] ok... but i still have ubuntu installed [05:54] My proprietary driver is the ATI/AMD FGLRX one [05:55] then.. how do i install WUBI into a PEN DRIVE ? [05:55] Hello. [05:55] Kimi, you dont [05:55] I don't consider my self a newbie, to Ubuntu but I am in a way, to IRC. And have been looking for ways to use IRC at work but not allow my administraor to capture my unencrypted packets from vista. [05:55] Stepan1: lots of ways. maybe you can just do this... start->run type \\192.168.0.5 (replace with IP of ubuntu machine) click run. maybe it brings up a window with the printer [05:55] bazhang:what is "you dont" [05:56] sigh...... [05:56] I am new to Linux and Ubuntu. [05:56] Kimi, it is within windows [05:56] Welcome TxB .. ! [05:56] txb good for you [05:56] @ bazhang... how to reply in red ?? [05:56] hi: is dhclient: a valid hosts.deny? or should I just do ALL: [05:56] pturing: it says network location cannot be reached [05:56] ok.. how to install ubuntu in real way into a PEN drive ? [05:56] When installing Ubuntu, it comes with preinstalled applications I presume? How would one do a more bare install? I prefer to install applications as I need them. === Tetracomm is now known as Rhodium [05:56] is there a way to run Xchat encrypted?

I'm not sure, I don't have an ati card [05:57] stduseren_: xchat does support ssl, but many irc networks don't [05:57] or at least I am not using the ones I have [05:57] stduseren_: freenode is one of the ones that doesn't [05:57] has anyone here had any luck with bluetooth in Intrepid? [05:57] stduseren_: maybe a vpn service [05:57] vpn to my home? [05:57] Hmm [05:58] that' be suite, but lot of energy spent [05:58] stduseren_: that would work too [05:58] MrAlexandro: nope, but it's probably on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [05:58] !usb | Kimi >>> what is this >? [05:59] ok, thats start, i can look for the SSL enabled irc channels [05:59] 大家好，有会中文的朋友吗？ [05:59] stduseren_: SSL has ntohing to do with channels [05:59] stduseren_: the servers handle SSL, not channels [05:59] TxB: You could install ubuntu server. It's mostly the same as regular ubuntu, but with a lot of stuff not installed [05:59] pturing: no dice- with java turned off it loads only a black screen for remote control, with java on ff freezes [05:59] TxB: like I think it comes with no gui [05:59] sorry I ment servers....lol [05:59] i am not that lost.. [06:00] I'll take that for a no..... [06:00] !minimal | TxB [06:00] TxB: 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 [06:00] I so wish Xchat was 32bit windows compatible [06:00] ShinyHat: sorry not something I am real familiar with; I don't have any other good guesses at the moment [06:00] !Alternate [06:00] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [06:00] stduseren_: there is a version of xchat for 32-bit windows [06:00] stdin, it is. you just have to pay for it [06:01] really is it free? [06:01] stduseren_, ^^^^ [06:01] Geoffrey2: I haven't tested it yet, but I probably will next week [06:01] Is the Alternate CD a live version? [06:01] stduseren_: there is a free version made by silverex, I think [06:01] pturing: that is most unfortunate, it is one of only two things i still must rely on windows for [06:01] stduseren_: yes actually there is a free build out there, in addition to the pay one g4lt-lappy referred to [06:01] stduseren_, you canGET unsupported win32 builds, buit the one from xchat.org is $$$ [06:01] stduseren_, try #xchat's topic for free builds [06:03] should i be worried to use this free builds for backholes? [06:03] ShinyHat: what does the 'remote control' do? Does it just get you a remote desktop? [06:03] stduseren_: nah [06:03] how can I make firefox my default browser? eiphany keeps opening up links I click on [06:03] is it possible to somehow get a gui using ssh? [06:03] i ment xchat and ssh [06:03] how to use 8.10 live cd to upgrade my frnd's 7.10 ? [06:04] oOChrisOp preferences [06:04] Canadahar: preferences where [06:04] o0Chris0o: system->preferences->preferred applications I think [06:04] stduseren_, well, most of the free builders are trustworthy, but it's your air tank [06:04] pturing: yeah, i do it work and it allows me to work on client's machines from a distance from any internet capable machine (apparently as long as it's windows) [06:04] pturing: ahh ok, I thought I had to do it through the browser itself [06:04] stduseren_: you could but you need an x-server on the client end, so it's easier with linux for a client... but you could use a command line irc client like irssi [06:04] i have a hp 1320 laserjet printer which was detected automatically. The driver for this printer is also set but when i give prints it take very long to to print is there a way to increase the speedd? [06:04] stduseren_, yes, you can forward X over SSH [06:05] can someone told me how to make my microphone work fine on a dell latitude d620??? [06:05] pturing: I.T. work, that is [06:05] stduseren_: yes you can use ssh -Y to redirect remote X programs to a local X installation. You can get X for windows by installing cygwin [06:05] odd its already set as firefox [06:05] stduseren_: you can also do ssh+vnc or NoMachine NX (my favourite) [06:05] doo [06:06] ShinyHat: maybe you can try it under wine. I actually had a program like this that worked for me in my browser under wine [06:07] or crossover [06:07] pturing: does wine support activex? [06:07] cygwin? it rings a bell [06:07] i need to connect to a wifi AP serially. the wifi AP has only a LAN port, and my laptop only no serial port. what do i do? [06:08] ShinyHat: Yes I think so if you are using IE under wine. As I recall, flash on windows is an activex thing and that works under wine. You may try ies4linux or winetricks or crossover to install IE easily [06:08] dayo, get a USB-serial adapter? [06:09] stduseren_: yah, google cygwin. It gets you a lot of linux stuff under windows. There is also andLinux which is pretty cool but not as stable [06:09] oh ok I knew it cygwin is linux running on windows [06:09] stduseren_: or just PuTTY, hehe [06:09] not quite, but it's a good enough description, stduseren_ [06:10] stduseren_: well not quite. andLinux actually is running linux on windows. cygwin lets you re-compile linux programs to work on windows, and many programs are already ported to it [06:10] pturing: being fairly new, what should i try first? [06:10] hey everyone. very new to linux. I just installed tor with "apt-get install tor", but now I have no idea where tor is or how to open it. help? [06:11] the fun part is just about every document I can find for bluetooth and ubuntu is written for the old bluez 3.x stack, and is totally incompatible with Intrepid / Bluez 4.x.... [06:11] Anyone have any experience with the Asus Eee? [06:11] however, for xservers on win32, there's a lot of solutions, none of them trivial, or in fact free, like eXceed, miX, etc [06:11] ShinyHat: crossover is easiest and most polished. http://www.codeweavers.com it is for-pay but it is also open source. the people that make it are among the main wine developers [06:11] ok, i do remember downloading some program a couple of years back that had linux only as a console is that the case for andLinux [06:11] g4lt-lappy: what does that look like? [06:11] MindVirus: tried #eeepc ? [06:11] pickletrip: try TorK [06:11] jtaji, no :) [06:11] Thanks. [06:12] pturing: will do. thanks. [06:12] dayo, it has a USB plug on one side, and a DB or DB25 on the other, I think you can even get one for cisco RJ45 serial [06:12] g4lt-lappy: cygwin now comes with a free X server. it's not too bad to work with [06:12] Can someone please check this out and tell me what I can do get yahoo back to this.

Any idea on what I could do to diagnose this [06:12] gimp is very confusing... i know only adobe photoshop/// what to do ? === r0bby_ is now known as r0bby [06:13] any ways, thanks for your suggestions. I think cygwin needs a visit... thx [06:13] pturing: ok, thanks for the help- greatly appreciated. now all i have to do is successfully tether my blackberry pearl and i'll be all set to cut windows ties :) [06:13] Kimi -- go to the gimp site [06:13] stduseren_: andLinux is a full blown Ubuntu install that lets you run ubuntu gui apps right there in windows. it's pretty sexy. not 100% stable though [06:13] no no ... [06:13] i dont want gimp [06:13] g4lt-lappy: but my problem is i need to connect serially, and neither of both nodes have a serial port. [06:13] but want like photoshop [06:13] gimp rocks [06:14] Kimi: try gimpshop [06:14] Droopsta915: that looks like windows to me [06:14] mmmh... well i think back then when i tried it ubuntu was not really in the picture, so it has really come a long way today... [06:14] i don't want gimp [06:14] Kimi, run PS in wine? Gimp is not a PS replacement, it's very different. [06:14] I don't want ubuntu [06:14] I used wubi to install ubuntu. is there a way for me to access my c: partition? I can't seem to find it anywhere [06:14] you can run Photoshop CS2 in wine [06:15] dayo, then you don't need to connect serially. if the AP doesn't have a port for it, then you're SOL [06:15] i have a cual core 2.4 gb with 2g of ram, what should i try running? andLinux, or a VM of ubuntu? [06:15] ment quad core* [06:15] g4lt-lappy: SOL? [06:15] some kind of out of luck [06:16] stduseren_: VM will be more reliable. [06:16] jtaji:Im talking about Yahoo on Ubuntu. This is just an example, don't look at the windows theme [06:16] do you think its better to run a VM from my thumb drive? === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [06:17] How do I check if my usb is mounted? [06:17] hehe never tried running a vm from a thumb drive; don't know how well that would work [06:17] g4lt-lappy: it's a EnGeniues 3610, and to configure it i would usually connect it to my laptop with a lan cable, and put the default IP into my browser. but connecting *any* of the brand new APs to my laptop doesn't seem to work. the LAN light on my laptop stays off and i can't get into the AP [06:17] I just cant get the pictures and everything, I do have Adobe and the non freeplugins [06:17] disappearedng: in a terminal you can run: mount [06:17] i should probably be asking this elsewhere :-/ [06:17] disappearedng run mount in terminal [06:17] hello [06:17] gotta go. goodnight all :) [06:18] the minmal install cd doesn't have gui [06:18] dayo, it makes no difference whatsoever what you can or cannot do via the lan. if it doesn't have a serial port, yuou can't make it have one. hyour computer, maybe, but not the AP [06:18] is their a way to addit [06:18] UsamaAkkad, that's generally what "minimal" means. if you want more, use a non-minimal CD [06:19] agreed [06:19] no I mean if some one want to use minimal cd but I want to install using gui [06:19] are there really bad issues with the rv280 (9200) or the 9550 ati cards ? [06:19] disappearedng: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-tutorials-howtos-reference-material/15776-how-mount-usb-flash-drives-linux.html [06:19] minimal implies just that [06:20] OK so I will be running VM ubuntu at work, how should I encrypt xchat then? [06:20] ok is it possible to implant more> [06:20] UsamaAkkad: do you mean you want a gui in the installed system, or during the install? because I don't see how a gui would help the install process [06:21] kaeles: uh, what do you mean, exactly? are you having a problem with such a GPU? [06:21] can someone help me figure out why acrobat reader won't let me print duplex? [06:21] i suppose you could roll your own, but that takes a lot of patience [06:21] yes during the installation [06:21] yea both, I've got two in two machines, running mythbuntu, and both of them have issues with the video all together, even booting into X doesn't work with the autoconfig, or if I enter everything manually or with Xorg -config [06:22] UsamaAkkad: why? [06:22] Hi Guys, my torrents are rather slow at the moment, just tried speedtest.net and connectivity according to them, seems fine... [06:22] UsamaAkkad: is there a reason you need the gui? [06:22] sure,... [06:22] kaeles: both of those should work out of the box, without installing any drivers or changing anyhing in the xorg.conf [06:22] I've tried the ati driver and the radeon, though the ati is supposed to load the radeon if needed anyhow IIRC, and even vesa has issues, and falls back to the xorg.conf.failsafe [06:23] UsamaAkkad: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [06:23] if a user wanted to get fully updated system without having to download full iso and then update it. he will prefer minimum [06:23] in 7.x and 8.x? [06:23] and that is for new users [06:23] text based isn't easy for new users [06:24] did I make it clear ? [06:24] UsamaAkkad: new users will most likely not have an easy time with a minimal install either [06:24] UsamaAkkad: that last command I gave installs the full desktop-gui on top of a minimal install [06:24] UsamaAkkad: sudo upgrade-manager -d ? [06:25] tect based mode is like mde for people who can ask help from irc. just c&p commands [06:25] even with a gui to install, they may be intimidated by the minimal [06:25] Is it possible to start a graphical program in the system tray only that by default opens a window when it starts? [06:26] d1b, didn't get it [06:26] Actually: my ubuntu doesn't auto mount, what's wrong? [06:26] When first installing Ubuntu, is it able to resize existing partitions without losing data? [06:27] ok if I told a friend to download minimum.iso what he will see ? a text based installation which every one knows it's not easy [06:27] TxB: yup! [06:27] Awesome. [06:27] sekinto: only if the app supports it [06:27] simplexio: Don't just copy and paste commands, try and learn why and what they are doing. [06:27] TxB: but have backups anyway [06:27] UsamaAkkad: the minimal ISO has the same interface as the alternate CD [06:27] yes I know that [06:27] UsamaAkkad: what is your problem / what support are you seeking ? ... [06:27] I've just tried starting i [06:28] !brainstorm | UsamaAkkad, go here to submit your ideas [06:28] UsamaAkkad, go here to submit your ideas: Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [06:28] Will it help me setup a boot loader since I already have XP on the same drive? [06:28] hey.. i have a logitech g11 kb and i want to use the g1-g18 to assign shortcuts but ubuntu doesnt recognize them as being diff than the f1-f12 and g13-g18 as the numbers 1-6. any ideas? do i need some firmware or something like that? [06:28] UsamaAkkad: if the problem is ease of use, then they don't need to worry about a slight bit more of downloading. [06:28] UsamaAkkad: The alternate CD asks the exact same questions as the desktop CD. You just have to use they keyboard instead of the mouse. [06:28] any reason why your friend can't use the normal installer ? [06:28] TxB: yep [06:28] Excellent. [06:28] can someone help me figure out why acrobat reader won't let me print duplex? [06:28] Greetings [06:29] I am using ubuntu right now, is there a way i can encrypt the packets that go out to the server? [06:29] like jtaji said it's just an Idea for Ubuntu. I heard fedora boot.iso has gui [06:29] Is there a way for me to figure out why I am leaking so much memory in my laptop [06:29] irc server [06:29] Got a problem with the shutdown command. Whenever I use it my pc shows the progress bar screen and never finishes. It doesn't look right because it should be emptying the bar instead of filling it up. [06:29] this idea is to save time only [06:29] and bandwith [06:29] TxB: back up your drive first to make sure you can restore in case partitioning goes astray [06:30] disappearedng: what do you mean leaking aren't you new to ubuntu to even notice that? [06:30] floatboat, honest-to-goodness acroread? try adobe support. other pdf reader? try their support channels. if you can do duplex in some app, ubuntu's configured correctly [06:30] Does anyone know of any third party repositories that provide Gnome 2.26, or will I have to wait until Jaunty? === lstarnes is now known as sheep [06:31] stduseren_ I have been using linux for 3 years [06:31] it's just that I initally thought that my firefox was leaking [06:31] it could be minimum iso + gui installer or (live cd - all the unnecessary package to make network install) [06:31] g4lt-lappy: what's the adobe channel? [06:31] I did a testrun yesterday and my firefox went 2.0gb [06:32] after that I closed it and this morning I ran "free" [06:32] and there was only like 200mb left in my 3gb memory [06:32] but then when I hit up gnome-system-monitor there was nothing on "memory" that is larger than 300 mb [06:32] well why the heck would you ask how do you not know how to mount usb drive? [06:32] I am planning on learning a variety of different Server services. My home-setup already contains a Data-Server (through shares), Web-Server (XAMPP and IIS), Print-Server (with a Printer Intranet Site), Email (Exchange 2007) server & Active Directory (LDAP/DOMAIN). I plan on learning, implementing, configuring and maintaining as well as the aforementioned services, DFS, Cluster-Server, ICS,... [06:32] ...Sharepoint, Office Communications Server, RADIUS and AAA. Are there any other Services you would recommend I learn? [06:33] Is there a way I could make sure that the xorg configuration is set completely back to default? [06:33] sekinto: jaunty [06:33] or does the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg do that? [06:33] kaeles: 'sudo dexconf' [06:33] Psuedo: i think you got enough there for a whole year! [06:33] disappearedng: are you looking at the first or second line of numbers in free? [06:33] Have it all done in 10 min [06:33] LOL [06:33] disappearedng: sounds like the system cache gave the impression that all memory was being used [06:33] (I wish) [06:34] kk, I'll try that crdlb thanks [06:34] having issues signing the Ubuntu Code of Conduct for launchpad I keep getting an error [06:34] disappearedng: the one that starts with +/- buffers/cache shows your true used and free memory [06:34] @crdlb: That's too bad, 2.26 looks like it has some really interesting new features. But I guess desktop environments are dependent on a lot of other things and a lot of other packages would have to be updated to. [06:34] Any way to get the progress on a dd?

LOL, not but seriously (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP) which? [06:37] sekinto: gnome's release schedule is the reason for ubuntu's 6 month cycle [06:37] jtaji: that doesn't solve my problem cause both my cache and RAM memory are all used up that's why my swap was begin to being utilized by my system [06:37] * JackDeath yawns [06:38] have a good night/day everyone [06:38] Psuedo: if you never heard of it, then you probably dont want to go there, its more for large corporations.

I have to manually start it from init.d every morning? Ubuntu server 8.10 [07:08] Kimi: restricted-extras is just a metapackage that grabs other packages...

See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/gobuntu for more information and download mirrors.. [07:19] BePhantom, There is more than one way to do. [07:19] Why does Ubuntu (Hardy) not provide the file lsconfig? (http://www200.pair.com/mecham/debian/lsconfig) [07:19] Severian: an easy way? [07:19] in xubuntu xchat is defaultly installed. why not in ubuntu 8.10 ? [07:20] !edubuntu [07:20] Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org [07:20] !mac [07:20] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [07:20] BePhantom, go to synaptic and install the smbfs package. That has to be done first, and won't hurt in any way. [07:21] Kimi, I suspect that they intend people to use Pidgin for IRC [07:21] Pidgin is horrible for IRC! [07:21] yeah, definitely [07:21] could someone do ls -l /dev/scd0 please? [07:22] I really want to know the major/minor numbers === EdgeX-[A] is now known as edgex- [07:22] <|Rad|> a problem here, i've purchase a laptop and i installed ubuntu, but in my old desktop pc, i have ubuntu too....now i need the files from the desktop one, i removed the hd from cpu, and i connected to the laptop using an enclosure, and ubuntu's laptop don't recognized the media....so what can i do to have my archives back!! [07:22] how to use pidgin for irc ? [07:22] Then, issue two commands from your terminal promt to mount the windows shares. 1. sudo mkdir /windowsshare 2. sudo mount -t smbfs //windowsname/share /windowsshare -o username=guest,password=guest,uid=name,gid=name [07:23] BePhantom: Places - Connect to Network share, I believe.... Not on English Ubuntu so not sure about the proper translation [07:23] redwyrm: brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 2009-03-19 22:28 /dev/scd0 [07:23] thanks! === ari_ is now known as p-suti [07:23] BePhantom, if you want those automatically mounted, you can add lines to your /etc/fstab to do it when you boot. [07:24] hateball: already tried that, it says it cant mount it [07:24] BePhantom, it seems easy to me, but you may have a different opinion. [07:24] BePhantom: Hmm, should just work... but perhaps you have to install smbfs first. Open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install smbfs" [07:24] aha! "[ 1091.681359] Driver 'sr' needs updating - please use bus_type methods" [07:25] how do I update the sr driver like this message recommends? [07:25] BePhantom, smbfs is not installed by default. You need to install it, as you were just shown. [07:25] it seems like a bad design that they would prevent people from using their CDROM drives simply because their drivers are out of date [07:25] ok, doing that right now hateball [07:26] BePhantom: You can also access samba shares from Nautilus by entering "smbfs://ip.to.server/share" in the adress field [07:26] <|Rad|> nothing here ? [07:26] redwyrm, I don't know any of the details, but I agree. That's really dumb ;p [07:27] after sudo apt-get install smbfs should i be able to use Places - Connect to Network share hateball? [07:27] BePhantom: yeah that should work, as well as what I typed about nautilus [07:28] is nautilus the default file brower in 8.10? [07:28] browser [07:28] Is there a way to fix Grub using the Live CD ? ? Will not boot. [07:28] how can I forcely run all daily crons? [07:29] BePhantom, it is for Ubuntu 8.10, not Kubuntu 8.10 or xubuntu 8.10. [07:29] ariqs, actually, I'm wrong. it's not a message for the user. it's a message for the driver developers [07:29] forecfully* [07:29] saying they need to use a different API or something [07:29] swayed→ the super grub cd is better fit for that purpose [07:29] cool [07:30] the file is downloading so it may take time since im downloading another thing [07:30] in the meanwhile i have another question about flash [07:30] cant make youtube work, i already installed the flash plugin [07:30] magnetron; Can you point me in the right direction for this - or just do a google and go from there? [07:30] from FF [07:30] !grub | swayed [07:30] swayed: 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 [07:30] !enter | BePhantom [07:30] BePhantom: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:31] cant make youtube work, i already installed the flash plugin from firefox. Any hints? [07:31] magnetron; Thanks much - appreciate the helping hand. [07:31] swayed→ cheers [07:32] BePhantom: Make sure you dont have different plugins installed at a time, like swfdec and Adobe flash. Use one or the other [07:32] magnetro; you too! [07:32] BePhantom. delete flash. It is awful. Install gnash, greasemonkey and youtotem. That will let youtube work. [07:32] magnetron; U 2 ! [07:32] hello everyone, i wanted to ask, how do I make my LaserJet 1100A work with Ubuntu [07:33] so i upgraded my motherboard to a Gigabyte P45 DQ6 and now my ubuntu doesn't want to boot [07:33] hello, how do I change startup programs through the commandline ? (I only have access to the machine in question through ssh so I can't use bum) [07:33] hateball: i may have installed flash from adobe home page, i installed the .deb file but it didnt work, then i tried downloading directly from FF, same result [07:33] my intrepid laptop is running extremely slow. ill open vuze, for example, and the hard drive runs and runs and runs and runs and maybe 10-15 MINUTES later it finally comes up -_- any ideas? [07:33] dr_phd1, pray to the ubuntu gods [07:33] dr_phd1, I suggest printing to it. That is how I make them work together. [07:33] seems it can't find the root disk/partition [07:33] is this motherboard known to be a problem/is there some easy way to find what disk goes where? [07:33] the printer works fine, but the copier and scanner doesn't work [07:34] and its not just vuze or anything...its like certain programs...and it used to lag real bad on boot too, but not anymore [07:34] BePhantom: The deb file from Adobe doesnt work. open a terminal and "sudo apt-get remove swfdec-mozilla gnash" && "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" [07:35] BePhantom: make sure to close/restart Firefox while doing so [07:35] Why does Ubuntu (Hardy) not provide the file lsconfig? (http://www200.pair.com/mecham/debian/lsconfig) [07:35] I'm curious, what is the main difference between linux and freebsd? [07:36] Linux has a better license. [07:36] hateball: ok [07:36] Does anyone have any experience getting a Nokia 6121c to work using bluetooth with things like Gammu and Wammu? [07:36] Linux also has more proprietary support (binary drivers and plugins) [07:36] Severian : the printer works fine, but the copier and scanner doesn't work [07:37] is there a way i can uninstall an ubuntu partition on a tri-boot machine? [07:37] hi, I cant se some files with nc extention in gedit file browser, how can this be fixed? [07:37] Brando753: There's nothing to uninstall... just go ahead and install whatever you like on top of it, and it'll be gone. [07:38] so if i delete the partition it will be fine? [07:38] Brando753: Well, ubuntu will be gone, your other OSes may be fine... it's up to them. [07:38] well what about grub will it still show ubuntu? [07:39] dr_phd1, I have only setup a scanner a couple of time. I think about doing one for myself, but I never needed one. I used the application sane to drive the scanner. I don't know if it works with your device or not. [07:39] Brando753: Grub automatically updates those things. But how well your system will work after is a question for those (unnamed) other OS. [07:39] Other Ubuntu, Windows :P [07:40] Brando753: oh two ubuntus, well you shold be fine [07:40] but what about windows? [07:40] vista [07:41] hateball smbfs finished installing, i go to places and try to connect but i keep getting the same error, something about there's no registered application [07:41] BePhantom. You may have to reboot to take care of that. [07:41] Brando753: Since you'll still have ubuntu to handle grub, it will be OK. If there happens to be a problem, you can go https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [07:42] do you need ubuntu for grub? [07:42] where does ubuntu 8.1 store its monitor settings, cause editing xorg.conf and restarting x afterwards doesnt seem to change anything [07:42] Brando753: Well grub is from linux of some sort. [07:42] Severian: ok, will do in a few minutes, cant reboot right now [07:42] i thought grub was part of the bios and was self-sufficient [07:42] well installed to the bios :D [07:43] the first level of grub is in the master boot record [07:43] * Dreamglider didnt manage to dualboot of his flashdisk :/ [07:44] Any reason to have relatime if I'm going to have noatime? [07:44] the bios hands of control to grub, then grub reads the /boot partition and get it's config, then it hands of control to whatever you tell it to [07:44] well the /boot parition is its own seperate partition right? [07:45] . [07:45] MindVirus, they are mutually exclusive. depending on what you do with the disk either one may be more appropriate, but you probably want relatime. [07:45] Brando753, not unless you tell it to be. [07:45] trek, xorg.conf is the file that 'stores' monitor settings, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what's happening at start up. [07:45] sprinkmeier, I want the least amount of writing as possible. [07:45] like in the manual install? [07:45] I have an Asus Eee 1000 with SSDs. [07:45] MindVirus, noatime then [07:45] Right-o. [07:46] so do i :P mines a 910 though [07:46] "Consider moving your logs to a tmpfs (ram), if you don't think you will need them, it could eliminate lots of writes." [07:46] Brando753, GRUB = GRand Universal Bootloader. It can boot many things, including Linux, and is included in many linux distros. [07:46] i installed ubuntu on it :P [07:46] How do I do this? [07:47] Brando, take a look at the /boot/grub/menu.lst file, just looking at it will probably answer alot of questions [07:47] ;9 [07:47] ;( [07:47] durt: hmm, well i'll do that, but some option i give in xorg.conf are for sure not accepted thought their syntax is correct, where does ubuntu dig up a new xorg.conf whe i delete it? [07:48] i have this script rainlendar.sh to start rainlendar. normally, it is one of the first things i run after logging on. how can i automate this? [07:48] trek, xorg tries to configure itself without xorg.conf, and then parses xorg.conf for user defined settings. when you erase it,= xorg creates a new blank one. [07:49] BadElvis, add it to ~/.bashrc file [07:49] magnetron; Hey the Super Grub CD worked great - writing this from my new 500GB cloned drive - I did a sector to sector clone of a 320GB to this 500GB using Ghost and this would not boot - but it is now thanks to your help. I just need to resize the partition to full 500GB's and good to rock again - thanks again..... Smiling again! :o) [07:49] exit [07:49] BadElvis: or you can add it to /etc/rc.d/rc.local [07:50] swayed→ i'm glad to hear that [07:50] durt: i tried to use a xorg.conf generated by knoppix, deleted xorg.conf and all backups in order to get a fresh one, and what happens? i get the knoppix one which i had deleted... [07:50] ok, i will try. brb! === florin is now known as Guest38442 [07:51] BadElvis, log on (.bashrc or KDE/gnome startup) or boot-up (/etc/rc.local) [07:51] trek, take another swing at it, what I just described is the way xorg deals with xorg.conf. [07:51] which is the best book to start learning linux [07:52] yo yo yo [07:52] i think www.linux.org has some good tutorials [07:52] 'sup dog [07:52] durt: thx, at least i can now be sure, the xorg.conf file is touched by ubuntu and will evemntually eat my settings... [07:52] hi [07:53] how can i format an ntfs without changing its filesystem so i can use it with windows too? [07:53] hhr: formatting wipes the data off [07:53] magnetron; been putting this off for over 2wks - didn't think it would work - but no problem - my old 320gb only had 25gb free - do you suggest using dparted to resize this 500gb ? - it is currently showing as a 320gb - I figured it would by doing the sector by sector clone. [07:53] yes i wanna wipe everything but keep it as ntfs [07:53] trek: ubuntu will not touch the xorg.conf without asking [07:53] hhr: you can remove the journal to make it ext2 and use http://fs-driver.org/ [07:54] hhr: oooh i see [07:54] I got a problem with my ubuntu intrepid ibex when I hibernate it , after rebooting I hav no sound [07:54] trek: monitor settings are stored in ~/.config/monitors.xml unless you use the nvidia driver [07:54] hhr: apt-cache search ntfs | grep tool [07:54] swayed→ i'm not sure about how to do that. some people use gparted, but that's all i know. (there's a gparted live cd as well :D) [07:54] i wanna do it from bash [07:54] crdlb: well, what do i have to do to get ubuntu using the settingy in my xorg.conf? [07:54] hello all will be KDE 4.2 in ubuntu 2009.4 ? [07:54] hhr: install the ntfstools package and gparted will e able to format ntfs [07:54] trek: what are you trying to do? [07:55] anybody help with increasing my resolution? [07:55] !anybody | ron2010 [07:55] ron2010: 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? [07:55] hhr: or an easier way, just delete the partition in windows and format there [07:55] hhr, why not do it from windows? NTFS write support in linux will always be 'best effort' as MS won't release the specs. I try to avoid writing NTFS (and that includes formatting). [07:56] does anybody know or can help setup my resolution with two monitors? [07:56] hhr: well gparted is just a gui for parted but they use the same ntfstools package [07:56] but if it's already mounted, why can't i format it easily like a flash drive? [07:56] magnetron; ah - sorry got my app names mixed up gparted is of course what I meant - will search gparted live cd at google - should be a piece of cake. Thanks [07:56] how's that? [07:56] !dualhead | ron2010 [07:56] ron2010: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [07:56] em [07:56] ... [07:56] hhr: then unmount it with: sudo umount /mount/point [07:56] [07:56] [07:56] [07:56] [07:56] Angel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:57] hhr: you cant format mouted block devices as they will be marked "busy" [07:57] crdlb: using nvidia driver, need to enable the custom EDID nvdia option cause my monitor sits behind a kvm switch which doesnt pass theough the monitor setting when probed by xorg, so behind my kvm ubuntu falls back to 640x480, unless i use that edid. bin file generated by nvidia to ovverride probing [07:57] i see [07:57] Will I be able to install my hardware drivers after installing Ubuntu? [07:57] ok after umount then shouldn't be a command that should format it [07:57] just like mke2fs? [07:58] hhr: pretty much, yes [07:58] hhr: but you will use an ntfs based one [07:58] magnetron; you think the upgrade to jaunty will be as smooth as the hardy to ibex internet based upgrade was? [07:58] trek: then X should respect the xorg.conf fully; if it doesn't, it's a problem with the nvidia driver [07:58] so what's the ntfs format command? [07:59] crdlb: so when i use nvidia driver xorg.conf is used for sure? [07:59] hhr: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=481086 [07:59] swayed→ impossible to say yet, since it's not betatested (only alpha tested). there will be a list of "known issues" on the release page. [07:59] hhr, mkfs.ntfs. but you need to "sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs" === odder_ is now known as odder [08:00] magnetron; I thought final rel. was next month April? [08:00] i see ok [08:00] hhr: sudo mkntfs /dev/ [08:00] TxB: Ubuntu will install its own drivers with it for your hardware. So no need to wory about that [08:00] !hcl | TxB [08:00] TxB: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [08:01] swayed→ yes, it's still in alpha testing. the final release will be on April 23rd [08:01] TxB, with linux most device drivers are built into the kernel. As long as your hardware is on the HCL you shouldn't have to do anything. [08:01] TxB: you may need drivers for some hardware but 99% of the time they will NOT be on the CD you got with your hardware [08:01] "Consider moving your logs to a tmpfs (ram), if you don't think you will need them, it could eliminate lots of writes." [08:01] How do I do this? [08:01] trek: as far as I know [08:01] MindVirus: ram drive [08:01] Eh? [08:01] crdlb: thx, then, i'll keep on trying... [08:02] MindVirus, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/16244/ [08:03] MindVirus: you can carve off a secion of your ram as storage, like a hard drive [08:03] MindVirus: have all logs going there, when you reboot the data will be lost [08:03] MindVirus: = no more logs [08:03] Hmm. Interesting. [08:04] MindVirus: if you dont reboot it will fill up like any other partition [08:04] ActionParsnip, MindVirus rotatelogs should be able to fix that [08:04] magnetron; cool - looking forward to it - not so much for cosmetics but for more hardware support - know what I mean? There are still a few USB Wireless network adapters that are problematic, hope some will be resolved. [08:04] Why does Ubuntu (Hardy) not provide the file lsconfig? (http://www200.pair.com/mecham/debian/lsconfig) [08:05] s/rotatelogs/logrotate/ [08:05] sprinkmeier: i think hes trying to reduce writes to his ssd drive [08:05] sprinkmeier, nothing to fix. [08:05] I'm just trying to rid myself of logs. [08:05] I'm on an Eee. [08:05] eee are sweeeet [08:05] alrighty, big issue for me today is the lack of ability to completly burn a dvd-R DL disk, all other media types work fine, and the drive is built for +/-R DL disks, but all wrights have failed so far, and i van not afford to waste any more of these disks [08:05] ActionParsnip, sounds like it. I meant fix the "fills up like any other partition" comment === Guest38442 is now known as IceyBlack [08:06] MindVirus: you could use an externel ssd as /tmp /swp and /var to reduce rites to the internal [08:06] ActionParsnip, I'm told to use a ramdisk. [08:06] Plus I don't have an external. [08:06] MindVirus: as you wish, its just another option [08:07] i like to give options [08:07] MindVirus, EEE has 3 USB ports... just plug in a cheap USB disk and trash that with /tmp and logs [08:07] hi [08:07] MindVirus: Change the syslog options in /etc/syslog.conf to reduce what is logged. See "man syslog.conf" [08:07] all [08:08] Right. [08:08] What's up with the kickass names? [08:08] ActionParsnip? IntuitiveNipple? [08:08] !ohmy | MindVirus [08:08] MindVirus: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [08:08] Right. [08:09] MindVirus: mies a harry hill joke [08:09] I have a small problem, can i get some help from here? [08:09] Hey I need a Vista room [08:09] are there any? [08:09] Diehardy: ##windows [08:09] Diehardy: ##windows [08:09] Diehardy: look on freenodes website [08:09] Diehardy, down the hall, first door to the right [08:09] one question: how is everyone doing backup? sbackup, simple scripts or some other way. [08:09] negonicrac_, backuppc and external disks [08:09] MindVirus, I am setting up a eeepc with a flash drive tonight, too. I plan to set the /tmp to a tmpfs. The referred to page shows one way to do that. You could do /var/log the same way. [08:10] Aye, OK. [08:10] Problem: In Places panel I can't find Documents anymore, how can i restore it? When i try with Edit Menus options, i can;t see places [08:10] sprinkmeier: are you mounting the disk at /usr/.../sbackup [08:11] MindVirus, To get fancier, configure logrotate to compress any logs you want and copy them to another directory on the flash drive. [08:11] Mozes251: drag the folder to the places bar and it will be added [08:11] Thank you! [08:11] Severian, that's using unneeded writes. === methril|away is now known as methril|work [08:11] my isp's dns server is down, anyone have a web proxy for me to use? :) [08:11] Severian, what model? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1028368 if you're on the 1000.

The way they setup the tmpfs will consume more ram that I think is prudent. [08:16] I got errors doing.. sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart . Perhaps I should add that i'm connected via dialup with gnome ppp? [08:17] Severian, how would you recommend?

[08:19] Aye. [08:19] Thanks. [08:19] o_____________o [08:19] So what size= should it be? [08:19] ActionParsnip, I tried that earlier and then I couldn't reconnect for an entire hour! [08:19] I'm thinking 128MB, should I do size=128? [08:19] its happening in jaunty's pidgin i just wanted to see if its also occurring in hardy or intrepid. [08:19] Probably even less. [08:19] Maybe 64 or 32. [08:20] ryan@ryan-desktop:~/Desktop/lapack-3.2$ host www.ibm.com 4.2.2.4;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached [08:20] ariqs: sounds like you ISP is changing stuff [08:20] ...hmm [08:20] MindVirus, just a moment. I have to go look that up in my notes. I think it is more like size=128M I'll be back. [08:20] LordKow: i have 4 aim accounts, they all connect [08:20] Right. [08:20] How do I disable the new notification system in jaunty? [08:20] ariqs: try: nslookup www.ask.com [08:20] it's not messing up like that for me [08:20] !jaunty | eeg3 [08:20] eeg3: 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. [08:20] ariqs, ok, sounds more like a routing problem than DNS. Can you ping 4.2.2.4? [08:21] as well as, I'm on intrepid [08:21] I can ping it [08:21] MindVirus, yes. size=128M is right. I may end up with a value like that. I have not decided how much my limit should be. [08:21] ariqs, as ActionParsnip said, maybe your ISP is messing with stuff. DNS lookups have long timeouts, so if ping works DNS should too. [08:22] ariqs: did the nslookup succeed? [08:22] ActionParsnip, no [08:22] ariqs: then dns is at fault [08:22] ariqs: did it try to use the extra dns servers you added? [08:22] What is the best operating system out there? [08:22] Diehardy: doesnt exist [08:22] personal preference I'd think... [08:23] Diehardy: best doesnt exist for anything [08:23] alrighty, big issue for me today is the lack of ability to completly burn a dvd-R DL disk, all other media types work fine, and the drive is built for +/-R DL disks, but all wrights have failed so far, and i van not afford to waste any more of these disks [08:23] ActionParsnip, I don't know? it didn't say either way [08:23] Diehardy, hurd [08:23] XP, Vista, Windows 7, Mac or Linux? [08:23] Diehardy: you forgot bsd as well [08:23] LINUX 8D [08:23] or whatever [08:23] how about out of XP, Vista and windows 7? [08:23] >_> I have only done XP, Vista, vm of Windows 7 that I grabbed for a short while, and Ubuntu linux [08:23] Diehardy: best only exists as an opinion of a product based on its merits to YOUR OWN personal needs [08:23] In fstab, why would I use "defaults"? [08:24] Diehardy: there is no universal best, or we'd all use it and nothing else [08:24] Diehardy, again, personal pref. ATM probably XP unless the box came with Vista and it actually works well. 7 isn't out yet, so who knows. [08:24] Diehardy: that particular question belongs in ##windows [08:24] Actionpimp: I just rechcked my resolv.conf, and I see I had a typo. It works now, sorry to waste your time ;) [08:24] MindVirus, 'cos "defaults" are sane and usually work. [08:24] rechecked, too. HAHA [08:24] ariqs: hehe np man [08:24] Right, but is it redundant? [08:24] I have a trial version of Windows seven [08:24] * ActionParsnip hands ariqs a facepalm [08:24] Diehardy: its offtopic here [08:24] and I cant install or play some of the things I used to be able to on my XP [08:24] MindVirus, "defaults" is a placeholder in case you wnat to provide other options [08:24] Diehardy: its offtopic here [08:25] sprinkmeier: your forgetting there puvlic beta, wich, imho 7 could very easily replace xp [08:25] "ot [08:25] !ot [08:25] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[08:26] I am not flooding [08:27] lol. [08:27] MindVirus, honestly don't know, my fstabhas "defaults,OTHER_OPTIONS..." so I'd do that :-) [08:27] Boohbah: I'm just using Serif. I somehow doubt that's the right bug I was trying to get rid of... [08:27] dandre: Yes, you can autolog in many ways. But notice that putty itself is available for ubuntu. [08:28] dandel, AFAIK all ssh clients (ncluding putty and the default ssh client on ubuntu) have auto-login [08:28] what can i use to mount an .iso image? [08:28] how can I autologon?

I created a user to connect to my server and set the folder I want them to be able to download from but they have access to every other account. Is there a way I can just lock them to that folder and sub directories? [08:33] ActionParsnip: the drive supprts 4x, the media 2.4 [08:33] Kimi, it's a way of quickly sharing a few lines of text (typically log output or conf file) without spamming IRC [08:33] dandre: ive not got a clue then, do you mean when you connect via ssh you want your password already entered?

[08:36] ActionParsnip: the drive supprts 4x, the media 2.4 [08:36] tehjai, it's been a while... changing FTP servers to one that can enforce user restrictions (vsftp) might be easier [08:36] ok [08:37] gartral: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/noninteractive-shell-script-ssh-password-provider/ === edgex- is now known as edgex-[ea] [08:37] ActionParsnip: re-aim your tab [08:37] bah [08:37] dandre: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/noninteractive-shell-script-ssh-password-provider/ [08:38] hi, can some please guide me to restore the following W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6AF0E1940624A220 [08:38] ?

[08:40] i said sry fc already ;) fc = false channel.. i will try it in #ubuntu-de [08:40] omg^^ [08:40] sauvin then see .... what hotte is talking . i cant understand [08:40] german [08:40] ^^ [08:40] 10 answers about language.. sry for that.. [08:40] thank you [08:40] tea_ovedose, a primer site on gpg might be in order :-) basically your system doesn't know if it can trust the file, and it doesn't know anyone to ask. [08:40] I do that all the time :D [08:40] I KNOW FRENCH.... AM I ALLOWED FRENCH HERE ? [08:40] nope [08:40] :D [08:40] !fr [08:40] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[08:41] Kimi: if you can type english, hang around, if not i'd suggest the other rooms [08:41] in english [08:41] OK.. understood [08:41] ok thanks ActionParsnip [08:41] ActionParsnip: the drive supprts 4x, the media 2.4 [08:42] sprinkmeier: aha, will it disable the msg if I # the source url ? [08:42] gartral: maybe the media is too slow (?) [08:42] gartral: have you used this media ok before? [08:42] ActionParsnip: yes, 2 years ago [08:42] gartral, there are lies, damn lies and product specs :-) try again slower [08:43] gartral: burn as slow as the drive will physically allow [08:43] tea_ovedose, yes, but then you'll miss out on whatever is in that repo. If you trust the repo, import their key. If you don't trust it, don't use it :-) [08:44] sprinkmeier ActionParsnip i need to be %1599 sure that this *will* work, i can not afford another batched disk! [08:44] now , is there any other room for Xubuntu ?? [08:44] how do i mount an .iso? [08:44] gmountiso^^ [08:44] gartral: OSS has zero garuntees or SLA [08:44] sixofour_: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/cdrom0 [08:45] yes, but at $8 a peice where i live, there expensive [08:45] gartral, no guarantees in this life except death and taxes... [08:45] sixofour_: or change /mount/point to some other directory you wish to use [08:45] sprinkmeier: it's just the ubuntu-tweak so i guess I can so what trust it... therefore, can you please teach me how to restore that key ? [08:45] sixofour_, the mount command I gave you didn't work? [08:45] gartral: i'm just telling you how it is [08:46] can't find foo.iso in in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [08:46] tea_ovedose, as root, run "gpg --recv-keys 6AF0E1940624A220" [08:47] is there any other room for xubuntu ?? its not showing when i start Xchat client.... i just choose ubuntu servers and connect to it.... how to connect to xubuntu ? [08:47] sixofour_, replace "foo.iso" with the path/name of the .ISO file you're trying to mount. [08:47] kimi /join #xubuntu [08:47] sprinkmeier: key recive server failed: bad uRI [08:48] i repalced it with foo.iso when i pasted it :P [08:48] it doesn't find the iso in those folders so it won't work [08:48] perhaps another command or option? [08:48] sprinkmeier: nvm I'd typo the key string haha [08:48] linx thanks....! [08:49] does anyone know if there is a Ubuntu 8.04/10 repository that has Pidgin 2.5.5? [08:49] sixofour_: you need the command i gave [08:49] which? [08:49] Kartagis: no there is not [08:49] sixofour_, if mount can't find the .iso file I don't see why something else should... [08:49] ikonia: ;) [08:49] its looking in the wrong palce sprinkmeier [08:50] it says it can't find it in those directories...its not in those directories [08:50] sixofour_, give it the complete path? [08:50] i did [08:50] it still looked in the wrong ones [08:50] kimi np [08:50] sixofour_, "mkdir /tmp/foo ; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/foo.iso /tmp/foo" [08:50] sixofour_: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/cdrom0 [08:50] Kartagis: I got 2.5.5 from some deb repository. I had to update another library to get it to work, however [08:51] sixofour_: you need to edit the paths to poit to the iso files and mount point you wish to use [08:51] Linx i dont know why no one is replying in xubuntu box [08:51] kimi mom [08:51] Kartagis: if you do us the getdeb version you will need to uninstall it if you decide to upgrade to jaunty next month [08:52] Linx what is mom ?? [08:52] Kartagis: or it will break version numbers and cause issues galore [08:52] so it mounted..how do i access it? [08:52] !mom [08:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about mom [08:52] sixofour_: cd /media/cdrom0; ls [08:52] sixofour_, "cd /tmp/foo" [08:52] is there any way.. to capture whatever is going in ubuntu's screen and save it to a VIdeo file ? [08:52] sixofour_: the mount point you specified is how you access it [08:52] !mom | Kimi [08:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about mom [08:53] Kimi, I think it's called cairo [08:53] sixofour_: just filebrowse to it like any other folder you own in the way of your choosing (cli ,thunar, pcman, nautilus etc) [08:53] ActionParsnip, then let me ask this. can I get 2.5.5 from a jaunty repo? [08:53] Kartagis: not if you arent running jaunty [08:54] sprinkmeier do you mean cairo of egypt ?? i cant understand what this is doing here.... sorry explain [08:54] Kartagis, yes, but be prepared for dependencies hell. [08:54] Kartagis: jaunty are for jaunty, intrepid repos are for intrepid. they are seperate for a reason [08:54] Kartagis: i wouldnt go mixing stuff up like that unless you want a big mess [08:55] Kimi, there are a number of desktop video recording packages. If you grep the IRC logs for the last few days you should find the last discussion about them. I believe one of them is called cairo. [08:55] I chose a big mess. Otherwise I couldn't even talk on ICQ anymore! [08:55] ActionParsnip1, thanks [08:55] sprinkmeier, you too [08:56] hey [08:56] Kartagis: if its essential [08:57] How do i fix this? [08:57] Kartagis: then use the getdeb version but remember to uninstall when the time comes to upgrade [08:57] Is it possible for me to install linux-backports-modules-intrepid in 8.04.1? [08:57] Daemon: how do you fix what? [08:57] corinth: no [08:57] I need the update so that my wireless will work. [08:58] ActionParsnip1, the only reason is because icq has problems here [08:58] hi, i'm trying to compile a driver (http://sourceforge.net/projects/video-2-1394/) but it fails because it wants to include ieee1394_core.h and a few other headers, which i can't find in the linux-headers-generic package (but can in the kernel source package) [08:58] and #pidgin support requires 2.5.5 [08:58] i'm kinda new to kernel/driver compilation; does this mean the kernel package wasn't compiled with that driver? [08:59] crdlb: That backports-modules package, is that just a kernel update, or what? [08:59] baaba: did you install the kernel source? [08:59] corinth: it's some kernel modules [08:59] Kartagis: ive seen folks in here with the same issue, i advised them as I have you, use the new one just pull it off later as jaunty has the new version in it and the version numbers will cause issues as packed based systems are fragile [08:59] Boohbah: package 'linux-source'? [08:59] crdlb: How do I gain support for it in 8.04.1? I need the ath5k driver working [09:00] or 'linux-headers-2.6.27-11-generic' [09:00] (i have both) [09:00] corinth: I don't know of an easy way; why not upgrade to 8.10? [09:00] i tried find . -name ieee1394_core.h in /usr/src to no avail [09:00] sprinkmeier: thanks for the guide.. maybe I will just download the deb package instead of put my dirty hands into the key lol [09:00] thanks ActionParsnip1 , maybe i will upgrade from the getdeb version [09:00] then i unpacked the tar.bz2 from the 'linux-source' package, and the source tree contains ieee1394_core.h [09:00] crdlb: I use gOS. A distro upgrade would break several things. I just need the one module so that my wireless is working. [09:01] but the source tree lacks configuration in some way or another and i have no idea what to do about it exactly [09:01] corinth: well, you can't use a module from a different version of the kernel [09:01] previously when i've compiled drivers the linux-headers-* packages have been sufficient [09:02] crdlb: Well then, what about this: Can I add my Intrepid CD into my repos list, and upgrade both the kernel and add the modules? [09:02] I m on intrepid...somewhere along the lines of picking up fresh updates my wireless card just stopped working ... is there a device manager ( windows ) equivalent where I can query my device to see if tis working [09:02] so as the file is in the kernel source package but not in the headers package, i'm wondering if it was left out via some autoconf flag or via dpkg [09:03] if it's just dpkg then i could just copy the needed headers over [09:03] corinth: if you're very careful, maybe, but it would be completely unsupported [09:03] I don't mind unsupported. I'll give it a try in a VM first [09:05] lflfdlsd [09:05] !best [09:05] nice. [09:05] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [09:13] MrAlexandro: if you have slackwares boot loader nstalled, add an entry to the lilo conf to boot ubuntu [09:14] reason i ask is because now i can not add ubuntu to the lilo loader because it says sda2(ubuntu) parittion has no boot sector [09:14] burning 6.6 gigs of info at 1x is INSANSE [09:15] i think it need to have a boot loader on the partition i installed ubuntu on. i think i can remember ahving the option to choose to put grub on the parittion of ubuntu and not as the main boot loader. [09:15] that might solce the problem [09:15] but that was in the installation [09:17] MrAlexandro: as long as there is grub / lilo on a disk and it is congured right you can use any disk [09:18] yeah, but could i be right about that, if you choose grub as main boot loader, you do not install any boot files on the parittion of the ubuntu install?` [09:19] but that ubuntu uses main boot loader directly? [09:21] Does anybody know how I can make a folder on my Ubuntu Server, in my home directory private? I don't mean by permissions, because they can be circumvented by root. I'm looking for true privacy [09:21] i am new to this, but i kind of like to experiment with it. that is why i set up a quad boot [09:21] MrAlexandro: the will be in /boot/lilo/ or for grub its /boot/grub/menu.lst [09:22] ok, but you can instlal grub on the partition of ubuntu which in my case is sda2 right? [09:22] or am i over my head now? [09:23] hi all - a while ago, i installed some font packages, and now I have strange effects of odd glyphs getting picked. numbers, colons, tildes etc "sometimes" use a different font. and suddenly change when i change something close to them. happens in kde apps as well as gnome apps, but as far as i see only in editable text. [09:23] jumbers: encrypt them? [09:23] any idea what it could be? I tried uninstalling all suspicious stuff, but it didn't help. [09:23] ikonia: got a sec dude, i have a suggestion [09:24] what could trigger such "magic" glyph replacement? I don't even know where to start searching. [09:24] gartral: I'm looking for a way to keep them accessible, so that I don't have to roll them into tars or something like that [09:25] MrAlexandro: afaik, there's a pointer inserted in the mbr that points to the grub loader, which can be placed anywhere - but I'm not sure if putting grub in a filesystem will mess it up [09:25] ok, the reason i ask is because i got an error trying to put in ubuntu in lilo. i mananged to put in windows and osx86 but not ubuntu [09:26] could it be that i need an zImage file like under slackware it has image = /boot/vmlinux [09:26] oh, I think there's a size limit as to how far into the disk you can put grub [09:26] like a linux thing maybe? === scfh_ is now known as scfh [09:27] jumber encrypting them will make so only your acount on your computer can decrypt and read them it doesnt compress them [09:28] jumbers: encrypting them will make so only your acount on your computer can decrypt and read them it doesnt compress them [09:28] Hi there.

I doubt that it's very common so far past release [09:32] i gather intrepid is the latest release? [09:32] WebGuest: but I have noticed that a HP i use runs much better on hardy [09:32] Frogzoo i am trying it out. will let you know [09:32] yeah, for a month, then it will be jaunty [09:33] WebGuest, Intrepid Ibex is the latest, until next month when Jaunty Jacolope comes out.

[09:33] Hi, I use pidgin ang i can send group on Ubuntu, but can't on Windows XP [09:33] joetheodd, well i tried an install of intrepid yesterday, but what seems to happen is, when you eject the cd, the drive bay door closes again very quickly. i almost lost my haqnd trying to grab the CD! ;) [09:33] yeah, April is all that I know so far [09:34] Does it happen on hardy?

[09:44] sprinkmeier: no need these days, adobes 64 bit works fine [09:44] guest: install the flashplugin-nonfree package, or download http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz and extract it to ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [09:45] i try, mom polz [09:45] hateball, good to know! my HW is still 32-bit, but I'm interested in going '64 [09:45] guest: get the 64bit flash tar.gz file and put the .so in it into ~/.mozilla/plugins [09:45] rww, does the flashplugin-nonfree package work on 64bit? I'm about to install it meself. [09:45] sprinkmeier: also, Sun Java plugin works fine on 64-bit, so there's no reason to stay on 32bit [09:45] joetheodd: the package in 8.10 will download the 32bit + wrapper [09:46] guest: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz [09:46] joetheodd: It did last time I used it.

[10:37] Kimi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:38] Kimi: you'll need a bash script [10:38] ikonia: Yes, it is. This domain may not be functional at the moment as the other computer in the LAN is switched off though.) [10:38] what is that ??? [10:38] I'd get some hardware to run there virtually a few ubuntu copies. can any1 give me a good start point for such a server solution? [10:38] Kimi: its like a dos batch file but far more powerful [10:38] ok.. [10:38] Kimi: i'd suggest you jump into #bash [10:38] but how to make it ? [10:39] bullgard4: thats why then [10:39] bullgard4: it is querying the domain master for the time [10:39] Kimi: http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html [10:39] hi, I can't seem to mount one of my HDDs how do i diagnose a problematic HDD ?

[10:42] bullgard4: the domain master is the server that is the "domain controller" for your domaain [10:42] bullgard4: how did you setup a domain without knowing what the domain master is ? [10:42] hi, my xorg goes nuts usgin upp to 100%, Im on ubuntu 8.1 with gnome, what can be wrong? [10:43] how do i diagnose a bad disk ? [10:43] Some_ux: depends what you want to look for [10:43] ikonia: You will not believe it: I managed to set up a functioning Samba domain. All myself. [10:43] Hello. Is there anyway you can change desktop environment w/o reinstalling Ubuntu? [10:43] is there a more specific irc channel for audio / audacity / audacious / jackd? [10:43] bullgard4: I do believe it - but I don't know how you can do that if you don't know what the domain master is ? [10:43] Slayer: yes [10:43] Some_ux, smartmontools can run a S.M.A.R.T. check. Some disks come with vendor utils (usually windows only) [10:43] ikonia : Well, it stopped working :) [10:44] simplexio: how then? [10:44] Some_ux: define stopped working [10:44] Slayer: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop if recall it right, of xubuntu-desktop.. or offcourse if you dont want all that stuff you can try install xfce or kde etc etc [10:44] Slayer: and when you login in you change default enviroment [10:44] ikonia: Sometimes it mounts on boot, other times it does not [10:44] simplexio: ty. [10:45] Some_ux: is it a physical internal hard disk, or an external / usb one [10:45] Some_ux, get a replacement and dd_rescue across as much as you can [10:45] ikonia: it is an internal SATAII disk, used as a data folder [10:46] Some_ux, Oh... PC power-supply up to scratch? [10:46] how can I view .p12 certificates in linux? [10:46] when i try to : ls /data produces the following: Input/output error [10:46] Some_ux: what file system is on it, is it a linux file system or a windows NTFS/fat one ? [10:46] ikonia ext3 [10:47] is there no fsck /data ? or something [10:48] Some_ux: is it in your fstab ? [10:48] ok, so when i do this: sudo fsck /data , I get: /dev/sdd1: clean, 27538/61054976 files, 41221193/244190000 blocks [10:48] Some_ux, the problem you describe (intermittent mount on boot) sounds like a physical drive problem. run SMART test to confirm, but get ready to buy another disk. [10:49] Ok, I'll try to unmount and remount it [10:49] Some_ux: is it in your /etc/fstab file [10:49] i think so [10:49] sec [10:50] I think i added something in fstab [10:50] Some_ux: check if it is [10:50] hey [10:51] Yeah, I added this line: [10:51] # /dev/sdc1 [10:51] UUID=f067f506-e6b2-4eb6-b5ad-72df78dd373a /data ext3 relatime 0 2 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [10:52] is there a way i could access the internal harddrive of one computer as an external drive on another? or alternately, network them together... === lib is now known as lagann_ [10:53] anyone knows where xchat logs are stored?

Hotkeys for saving/exiting are displayed at the bottom of the screen. I suggest you edit a few test files to get used to nano and then edit the menu.lst file (after making a backup copy of it!) [11:09] is there a way to take an ubuntu install, make it auto-start an application when it starts up, and let it do nothing else (maybe unless there was some secret way to not enter the sandbox)? === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix_da_catz [11:10] sprinkmeier so there is no way i can edit and save in text editor. like maybe by copying grub list and then replacing using a terminal command?

[11:11] MrAlexandro, "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" should give you a graphical editor capable of writing the file. You can then use X copy/paste to copy in the changes you made in the editor that refuxes to save. Otherwise, "save as->/tmp/menu.lst" and "sudo cp /tmp/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst" [11:11] natrixnatrix89, sleep [11:12] thank's sprinkmeier [11:12] styol, kiosk mode?

[13:22] RichardWolfVI: thanks [13:22] I tried to install FileZilla FTP and it says it needs at least i686 (which makes sense, since i686 arch is P2) [13:22] hazrpg: i386 is a designation for processors based on Intel's 80386 [13:23] Will ubuntu 8.04 server edition support this card?

I've got a little bug in the way it displays tabs [13:24] mrwes: Not sure, but you could just try it yourself, if it dosn't work, you can go back to generic [13:24] buyaka:: works great [13:24] RichardWolfVI: Hehe, yeah I know it works... been using i386 every time I've installed ubuntu on any machine, I just don't understand why FileZilla is awkward. [13:24] RichardWolfVI, yah [13:25] hello [13:25] mrwes: don't forget to install linux-restricted and linux-backports for server, just in case [13:26] hazrpg: i686 introduces some instructions not available in precessors older that the P2 [13:26] RichardWolfVI, hrmm..via apt-get you mean, or enable those repos in the sources list? [13:26] What version is the latest ubuntu kernel? [13:26] RichardWolfVI, hazrpg i'm recommending the 32bit version but: I'm personally running the 64bit version with only 4Gs Memory and run many games and 32-bit only apps without problems, but a few programs out there will not run on 64bit (like boxee, which turned out to be a disappointment due to stability). some games and other programs you start running into lib32 issues and troubleshooting startup errors from programs - but you can usually get the [13:26] m to work. [13:27] EDinNY: Ask that in #ubuntu+1 [13:27] EDinNY: 2.6.27-14 for Hardy [13:27] *Intrepid [13:27] hey guys can u please help me get my ArterOS wirless card working?

[13:28] RichardWolfVI, hrmm..via apt-get you mean, or enable those repos in the sources list? [13:29] RichardWolfVI: thanks anyways :-D [13:29] when I try to print millimeter grid paper from printablepaper.net, I cannot get it to scale right [13:29] hazrpg: unless you have more than 4 GB of ram I'd reccomend using the i386 [13:30] it's like 1 millimeter to short on 15cm distance [13:30] RichardWolfVI: Yeah, I understand that. Thanks for the info though, I shall stick with i386. Do you know of a good FTP program similar to FileZilla? [13:30] hazrpg, look into gftp even supports ssh :) [13:30] hazrpg: FileZilla has been my favourite, so no [13:31] EDinNY: What about it? [13:31] hey guys whats the difference between ubuntu 32 bit and 64 bit? [13:31] how about just using Nautilus - file | connect to server [13:31] RichardWolfVI: Is there a way of getting FileZilla to work on ubuntu i386? (other than Wine - although I will use Wine if I have to) [13:31] RichardWolfVI: just wanted to know the version of the Kernel in the last release [13:32] hazrpg: sudo apt-get install filezilla [13:32] hazrpg, you can ftp with nautilus [13:32] EDinNY: Well, I told you. [13:32] mrwes: tried that already, otherwise I wouldn't be asking ;) [13:32] that was the current release [13:32] hazrpg, ahh.. k [13:33] EDinNY: Oh, you mean Jaunty [13:33] EDinNY: it's 2.6.28 :P [13:33] mrwes: I won't connect to my FTP server, because of strict settings imposed on the server. [13:33] hrmm [13:33] jaunty is the next version? [13:33] or rather next ubuntu release? [13:34] ssh won't work either? [13:34] EDinNY, yup [13:34] EDinNY: Yeah, it'll be released in a month or so [13:34] how about the one before Hardy? [13:34] hmm...CNN Breaking News (11 seconds ago) [13:34] U.S. Navy vessels U.S.S. Hartford, U.S.S. New Orleans collide in the Strait of Hormuz, commander of U.S. 5th Fleet says. [13:34] RichardWolfVI: should really of tried apt-get first... thanks, I was just browsing Add/Remove to see what was available... and saw FileZilla but it said i686 on the description so assumed i couldn't install it lol. [13:34] 2.6.29 version of the kernel is in RC status, I guess I won't be relesed in Ubuntu til 910 [13:35] gutsy? [13:35] EDinNY: I'm currently using jaunty... works great :D [13:35] EDinNY: No idea for older releases. Why the questions? [13:35] looking for an easy way to compile and test a driver against the right kernel [13:36] hazrpg, although it's called ubuntu i386 it's not true, i don't think the linux kernel even supports 386 any more, it's really i686 :) [13:36] found it [13:36] ZykoticK9: An overclocked 80386 will do [13:36] :P [13:37] ZykoticK9: Ahhh! Thanks for confirming that. I was thinking that i386 was a bit ancient by now lol. [13:37] any suggestyions on a simple cad program for Ubuntu? thanks [13:37] !cad|Lasivian [13:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about cad [13:37] chucks [13:38] Lasivian, lol it there a "simple" cad program for any os?

[13:48] hazrpg: I use an older version for 2D [13:48] sorry bad tabs [13:48] It's not really developers. If Linux was more widely used (and it is on the rise) then more developers would write software for it. It's kinda chicken => egg thing.

[13:53] Pqhda: you can have a look at /etc/motd [13:53] hazrpg: it has all the stuff already premade, but I tend to just make them myself and keep a copy/paste set on the side of my project [13:53] sipior: no [13:53] Pqhda: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/change-openssh-sshd-server-login-banner.html [13:53] storbeck: ok [13:53] Pqhda: no? care to be more specific?

There should be files in those dirs. Did you apt-get clean and the reinstall?

[14:27] question: What is ipconfig equivalent in linux? [14:27] mustangg1: i don't think add/remove has a complete listing of packages [14:27] mustangg1: add/remove only lists mainly gui programs. [14:27] been bugging me since i started using linux a few years ago [14:27] hazrpg: ifconfig [14:27] michaeldadmum: I did, but the window of systemsettings is empty [14:27] boerzel: let me check [14:27] mustangg1: anything that runs on the terminal is not in add/remove (for the most part) tehy do thos so as not to confuse users. [14:27] sellout_: aha. too bad, lots of really good console apps could benefit from that. [14:28] mustangg1: use aptitude or synergy for complete package control [14:28] mustangg1: bear in mind ubuntu is aimed at end-users first, devs and console junkies second. === vito is now known as Guest6230 [14:28] aptitude and synaptic are there for a reason though ;-) [14:29] "System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager" for a full list of apps :) [14:29] sellout_: well I'm not exactly a console junkie, but I do know the value of control over my system. I still forget which command does what sometime.. [14:29] and end-users that do not have a clue do not need to touch either one of those apps. lol [14:29] mustangg1: fair enough. Cames with time :-) [14:29] sellout_: I Agree :) [14:30] sellout_: well I have so much microsoft cruft in my head I may not have enough before I die, but I am trying ;) [14:30] how do i connect screen program to a pts/3? [14:30] mustanggl: Haha, i agree to that too :P [14:30] how do I go about unpacking a tar.gz file in the terminal- all the info Ive found so far has been deeply unhelpful [14:31] I am very thankful add/remove is idiot proof.

[14:35] lspci [14:36] hazrpg: hwinfo or lspci -nn [14:36] sellout_: similar to myself, (especially on the reinstall topic!) only I've never been a straight up developer so have not gotten exposure to certain clearly important areas. So I appreciate the help I get. [14:36] lspci -nn will give you all the pci-ids. google those and you find all sorts of magics to make things work :-) [14:36] sellout_: ahh that was the one, lspci -nn [14:36] sellout_: http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/index.cgi [14:36] been bugging me, i remember seeing it a while back and could never remember it [14:37] join #aptana @irc.freenode.org [14:37] !hcl [14:37] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [14:37] boerzel: wait for a while.

[14:38] krzd: beat me to it [14:38] Hi, is there a way to tell apt that I have a package installed from source? [14:39] storbeck: woot! that site is pretty niffy :) [14:39] Sqrt2_, yes it does [14:39] boerzel: What KDE packages are installed on your system? [14:39] Mr_Grieves|: other than just out-right blocking a package in synaptic... not that I am aware of. [14:39] sellout_, what does that mean (sry, i'm german^^) [14:39] hazrpg: :) [14:39] Sqrt2_, it searches the emails of kmail, evolution and thunderbird [14:39] sellout_: hrm, that would block dependencies of the package, too, wouldn't it? [14:40] Mr_Grieves|: however lets say you isntalled screen from source. You can go into synaptic and "block" screen so apt will not ever try to install it again [14:40] michaeldadmum: kde4, that, what is available in Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit repos [14:40] Mr_Grieves|: You could just simpily lock the current version... but dependencies will still be unblocked [14:40] can you boot ubuntu from a memory card? I do't have any blank dvd left [14:40] in theory [14:40] Mr_Grieves|: ubuntu is not the best distro for dealing with source... but you *can* [14:41] sellout_: hrm, I'll try that. [14:41] Sqrt2_: sure. Use the usb boot creator [14:41] Sqrt2_: You can make a bootable/installable thumbdrive with ubuntu on it.. yes [14:41] boerzel: Try installing kde instead. [14:41] Sqrt2_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [14:41] Sqrt2_: thumb drive or memory card. Ive used both. [14:41] Sqrt2_: like sellout_ said.. or try unetbootin tool. [14:41] I just found a dvd with ubuntu amd 64 on it :-) [14:41] not all pc's can boot from sd cards. [14:42] dr_willis: few. and that is being generous. [14:42] * Sqrt2_ is switching form OS X [14:42] I don't blame you, Sqrt2_ :P [14:42] the utility will make it properly... the ulity can not account for crappy bios though. [14:42] If i want to help community in programation where si the place? [14:42] I don't understand why ppl say OS X is more friendly [14:43] I have to admit that it looks beatifull but it is definitely not userfriendly [14:43] Sqrt2_: because people like the pretty ui. those people however have not seen e17 whic is even prettier and runs on about 12 megs of ram. [14:43] hola [14:43] michaeldadmum: kde instead? You mean, using kde? No, sorry, but thats no deal. Kde4 is like Windows Vista, lot of nonsense. I dont want to annony kde-fans, for me only Gnome or kde3.5.x is ok. I need to work with the PC [14:43] sellout_: e17? got screenshots? === killa is now known as Milka [14:44] boerzel: There is no KDE3 in intrepid.

[14:44] nilo: upgrade to Jaunty [14:45] is there an iPhone emulator i can get from the repos for testing mobile versions of webpages? [14:45] michaeldadmum: right thats the big problem, intrepid has. because there some good kde-tools and under former ubuntu versions with kde 3.5 everything was fine. since kde4 is on top, its just an optical horror to use kde-prpgrams unter gnome [14:45] now im using mandriva, but I'm thinking to install ubuntu [14:45] michaeldadmum: i was a kbuntu fan too - until kde4 came [14:45] Looks like equiv's may be what I'm looking for... [14:46] Sqrt2_: screenshots do not do it justice.. but here is a vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqfxJWHUrek [14:46] boerzel: I am a Kubuntu fan since KDE4 came. I tried KDE3 a while ago but I was not satisfied so I use KDE4 again. [14:46] sellout_: any chance it will see a real release before 2018? ;-) [14:46] is there an iPhone emulator i can get from the repos for testing mobile versions of webpages? [14:46] michaeldadmum: i had taken a look to kde4 on a pc with opensuse 11.1 64-bit. I dod not understand anything, and I am using PCs know since more than 20 years, 5 years of them with linux [14:46] the problem is ubuntu doesnt supports my intel wireless 2100... === l3D[away] is now known as l3D [14:46] i have installed kubuntu 8.10..........by mistake i removed the panel that contained my minimised windows...............how to get that back [14:47] anybody knows how I can add suport to my intel wireless?? [14:47] michaeldadmum: anyway, thanks a lot for your try to help me, michael. [14:47] sipior: Raster is a perfectionist. I have had a few arguments with him on that note. [14:47] Hi, folks. I had a package manager accident that removed resolvconf, and now I can't get resolvconf / NetworkManager to update /etc/resolv.conf. Any help appreciated. [14:48] It worked on 7.10, but in te 8.04, lost support [14:48] sipior: that said it is totally usable. I have e ven set up e17 for custoemrs and edelrly people that need a simple ui [14:48] boerzel: bye [14:48] sipior: lots of overhauling is going on. e18 is on it's way [14:48] sellout_: i've played with it myself. i'm afraid that by the time it sees the light of day, it will have been passed by... [14:49] sipior: Raster would rather release something that is complete and solid, than somethign partially borken. [14:49] sipior: also a lot of the libraries written for e17 have been used in other projects [14:49] imlib is huge and used everywhere === methril|lunch is now known as methril|work [14:50] is there an easier way of install a tar.gz packed zip than the make,compile method? [14:50] sipior: raster wants at least a couple more libraries to hit true 1.0 status before he considers releasing e17 for end users. It is already being used a lot though. GOS and several other distros ship with e17 by default [14:50] where ubuntu 8.10 will have gnome2.26 updates ? :D [14:50] yo [14:50] Wunderbar: gentoo :-( [14:51] Wunderbar: that's pretty easy as it is, yeah? man, in the dark days before automake... [14:51] lol [14:51] Wunderbar: Ubuntu is not really made to manage sources. It allows you to install them manually but that is abour it. [14:51] ok, thanks [14:51] make make install is not so bad though [14:51] Im new to linux [14:51] checkinstall makes it slightly nicer [14:51] so I basically suck at this [14:51] Wunderbar: what are you trying to install? [14:52] new irss [14:52] I [14:52] Wunderbar: almost everything has packages... [14:52] Wunderbar: Get it from the repos? [14:52] Hello all. I have 2 partitions, one for vista, one for ubuntu. I have decided i want rid of the windows partition so i want to delete it and resize my ubuntu partition to take up the whole drive. Is this safe? If so, how would i do it? Thanks :D [14:52] ./configure make make install now that's tough lol [14:52] the new one isnt' there... [14:52] lol [14:52] Nublet: Get gparted. [14:53] Wunderbar: dunno if the sid package would work? ;) [14:53] Ill try [14:53] Nublet you could just delete teh vista partition and create a new partition and mount it as your home dir [14:53] Wunderbar: grab the sid package. [14:53] but the make install method isn't working [14:53] kavity: Is that available as a prog or just livecd? [14:53] Wunderbar: debian is more on the ball with console apps. [14:53] Can anyone tell me why nautilus is crashing? http://paste.ubuntu.com/134255/ [14:53] Wunderbar: what version are you looking for specifically? [14:54] Wunderbar: Just apt-get install irssi [14:54] make failed, again [14:54] Nublet: As a prog. [14:54] Nublet: sudo apt-get install gparted [14:54] Wunderbar: any chance we could get a pastebin of the failed build? you're probably just missing a library or three that it needs... [14:55] is there an iPhone emulator i can get from the repos for testing mobile versions of webpages? [14:55] hold on lemme try the synaptic again [14:55] wow it was so hard to get on these channels at school [14:55] kavity: It's 100% safe to do what i am doing right? I would hate to make a mistake and kill my drive and lose my ubuntu [14:55] is irc encrypted? [14:55] no [14:55] no [14:56] i boot up ubuntu using the live install cd... went to administrative tools and attempted to create a usb boot device... but my device was not listed under the usb devices list... but my device shows up on the desktop and shows up for the partitioning tool... what to do? anyone have any suggestions for this? [14:56] hugodor: You could always ssh into a box, then run irssi [14:56] it was so hard to get an irc client at school [14:56] yea [14:56] or i could tunnel my irc traffic [14:56] i was just wondering [14:57] i tried that though using a remote shell account but it wouldn't let me because it thought i was proxying [14:57] Nublet: It should be safe, however, I would recommend you taking precautions and bcking up yourself anyway.

[15:04] I just dont want all the packages to install on the 4gb drive [15:04] Deevz: * [15:04] how can I get the IP [15:05] sellout_: it's a ssd [15:05] ned_: what IP? [15:05] Deevz: ahh... [15:05] on my eee pc that is [15:05] Getting this error when I log in: "User's $HOME/dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. ..." Anyone know a fix? [15:05] does the server edition have wubi.exe on it? [15:05] * sellout_ high fives Deevz [15:05] :) [15:05] Deevz: Currently talkign to you from my 900 series === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [15:05] sellout_, thats nice, I have a 901 :) [15:05] Got the 16 gig ssd here. [15:06] is it possible to install ubuntu on pc1 and then plug it to pc2 which is not identical. will it boot then? [15:06] ned_: "ipconfig" will give you the local IP [15:06] ned_: http://www.whatismyip.com will give you the external IP [15:06] the 901's are nice... but I knew I could not survive on anything less than a 16 gig. [15:06] (in other words, can I install it inside windows?) [15:06] then again ssd chips are getting cheap [15:06] sellout_: same, mine came with xandros so I had 20gb total in the first place [15:06] upgrade is not so hard [15:06] Formode: what are the permissions on the file $HOME/.dmrc? [15:06] Deevz: Ah ok. I see. === negonicrac is now known as Guest97645 [15:07] Formode: might be that it is being ignored because the permission set is too lax. [15:07] Deevz: Format the thing and make the 16 giger root and the 4 giger home [15:07] hi [15:07] its ningth [15:07] and if you want extra home just pop a 20$ 16 gig SD card in and mount it as a folder inside your home dir for media or whatever [15:07] sipior: I have "Owner: Formode \\ Read/write" "Group: Formode \\ None" and "Others \\ None" [15:08] sellout_: what is the diff between home and root? [15:08] Is that guy with the iPhone question still here? [15:08] Formode: hmm, that does look correct. === nerf is now known as nerfed [15:09] i would need to check what groups can access folder X and add another group to that list, how do i do that? [15:09] Deevz: root is / that is your base directory for everything. That is also what all your applications are going to be isntalld to in subfolders spread out ofer bin, sbin, var, opt. etc. [15:09] I ask about UBUNTU [15:09] sipior, I just changed the Group to Formode with Read/write... Maybe that fixed it? [15:09] wheraas you can easily mount a drive on top of /home which is where all your documents and personal settings will reside [15:09] I see [15:10] I am currently running 8.04 and having problems with 'mc' (midnight commander) tying up on of my nfs mounts to another box running 8.10... my problem is I cannot see where mc is running and killall mc and killall -9 mc does not kill the process - any help? [15:10] Problem is that the 16gb drive holds all my docs atm [15:10] Deevz: so head up to wal-mart and grab a 16 gig usb stick for 30$ and solve your problem ;-) [15:10] apparently can't find a make file [15:10] I can [15:10] :( [15:11] or get a 16 gig SD card for even cheaper and move your docs and what not to that [15:11] Formode: i'm not optimistic, since on my own system, the group bits aren't set at all. did you make any changes to your home directory/setup recently? === _mcstinky is now known as mcstinky [15:11] You will thank yourself for the extra space [15:11] sellout_: Ill go for an even cheaper solution and use my other computer has a network drive [15:11] Deevz: there you go :-) [15:11] sipior, I was unpacking a gentoo stage3 tarball and accidently uppacked it into my home directory, that's when it started. [15:12] Formode: ouch! [15:12] if mc is still running, you should be able to find it and kill it directly. [15:12] won't 'make' the makefile [15:12] Formode: i did that in root once, by accident >.< [15:12] I usually just use pkill [15:12] sellout_ It was a pain in the ass. [15:12] sellout_ OUCH. [15:12] Formode: i believe it :-) [15:12] when I point it in the right direction asks for a rule, wtf... [15:13] Formode: almost as bad as the time I somehow was half awake and did `chmod -R 777 /*` [15:13] makes a lot of things unhappy [15:13] sellout_... >> [15:13] Formode: Eh, that's nothing. I accidently wiped all of our drives on our backup server at work :P [15:13] And I work for a webhosting company [15:13] Okay, one other bug. [15:13] anyone know of a 2D map drawing program for Ubuntu? [15:14] I'm also getting: "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/_user_/.ICEauthority." when I boot. [15:14] storbeck: haw! I have a similar story. I also runa webhosting company... and one of my interns was trying to clear his home folder as root and did rm -rf / [15:14] * global_admin says hello [15:14] Formode: could you try setting permissions to 644: "chmod 644 .dmrc", and make sure your home directory is not open with "chmod 700 ~"? might solve the problem for you. === global_admin is now known as sweeny [15:14] storbeck: he killed it after it cleaned out bin and sbin thankfully... [15:14] lol [15:14] * sweeny says hello [15:15] storbeck: he did not come forward right away. the bash log showed him starting it, killing it, then running ls about 20 times, then exiting. [15:15] guys can you help with xchat running on xubuntu? [15:15] haha [15:15] sipior, okay that should fix it. :) Any idea what to do with "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/_user_/.ICEauthority." [15:15] i am unable to send or receive files [15:15] Would some C expert please tell me why nautilus is crashing? http://paste.ubuntu.com/134255/ [15:15] When i try to connect to my ubuntu machine (via windows) over the network it asks for a username and pw, anything i enter is incorrect, any ideas?

[15:17] hi all anyone out there know how to contorl a link light on a network switch... idea being to locate a unused patch on a network switch ??? [15:17] mattgyver83: has it worked before? Did you create the user with smbpasswd? [15:17] what tool can i use to manage 2 wired networks better [15:17] terminfo/termcap not found? what does this mean [15:17] ciao a tuuti [15:17] !it | disastro_totale [15:17] disastro_totale: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [15:17] i ahve tried the default network manager [15:17] and it was a mess [15:17] daGraveR, no i never created a user with smbpasswd thats probably it [15:17] I was told configure make install is the easiest thing known to man [15:17] and wicd doesnt support 2 wired networks [15:17] daGraveR is it pretty basic? [15:18] why are there so many goddamn errors.. [15:18] mattgyver83: yes [15:18] check also on that its added to the smba password file [15:18] hi all, there's a way (maibe a .conf file?!?) to change the X resolution in intrepid? /etc/X11/xorg.conf do nothing and 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' don't work for me. gnome works fine, but gdm and fluxbox have a larger resolution cannot fit on my LCD with 'strange' effects... [15:18] can anyone offer help on xchat? [15:18] Wunderbar: just what it says. configure is easy, but you do need to have the library dependencies met. you probably need to install ncurses [15:19] apparently [15:19] mattgyver83: sudo smbpasswd -a [15:19] Wunderbar: try "sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev", and see if that improves things. [15:19] Anyone know how to resolve the boot bug ""Could not update ICEauthority file /home/_user_/.ICEauthority." " [15:19] Thank you guys [15:19] Formode: do you have a backup of your home directory? this would be the time for it... [15:19] daGraveR, it made root my user, is that normal? [15:20] what would you suggest to have an xterm like for ttyS0 serial port? [15:20] sipior No. That's the only remaining bug xD [15:20] sipior it boots fine, I just have those two windows poping up xD [15:20] i would need to check what groups can access folder X and add another group to that list, how do i do that? [15:20] thanks sipior [15:20] mattgyver83: only if you forgot to replace with the actual username :) [15:20] how do we remove and add stuff in the programs menu in wine? [15:21] is it ever necessary to dump the arp table in ubuntu, or is that a thing of the past and for other distros to flail with [15:21] Formode: you can delete the file, it should be regenerated when you next start X. [15:21] Is there a way to disable the root usn from connecting now? [15:21] hallo guys [15:21] mattgyver83: sudo smbpasswd -d root [15:21] your the best [15:22] how do we remove and add stuff in the programs menu?

[15:29] lantjie: it would help if you tell us exactly what do you want to do ... [15:29] how do i get the perl commandline like in ipython or python [15:29] If I download ubuntu 8.10 iso, does it include the option to boot like Live CD?

[15:40] how do you upgrade from 7.10 to 8.10 over ssh ? [15:40] hi. how can i create an URL like http://blog.mydomain.com on my own server for www.mydomain.com. my server runs on hardy server edition. [15:40] HenrikV: its easy connect through ssh and carry out the same procedure [15:41] krishnan: You need to set up an A-Record or CNAME Record for that domain in your dns settings (you likely have a webinterface for that from your hoster) and your webserver needs to know it should serve that subdomain. [15:42] dennda: hmm how to create it on my server [15:42] As far as I am aware, you can't. You need to access your domains DNS settings [15:43] krishnan, hmm. same as what? the help page on the topic refers to on-screen instructions [15:43] Where can I get help with resolvconf? [15:43] You should look for that at your domain/hosting provider [15:43] Got a new 1TB WD drive w/ enclosure - plan on sharing that via samba; format it ext3? [15:43] Hey everyone, I just downloaded a plugin for gedit. How do I install it ? [15:43] anyone know of a 2D map drawing program for Ubuntu? [15:43] When i use the hostname command, it change the hostname for all my computer. I need to have many shell opened, sometime in my real root and others in chroot shell. If I use hostname, I have some strange bugs on my current session (perhaps because of dbus). [15:44] mrwes: Good plan, if it's always attached to a machine capable of reading/writing ext3 (NOT MS-Windows) [15:44] mrwes: uh... if it's portable and you might want to connect it to Windows computers, i'm not sure - i'd be wondering about ext3 vs NTFS [15:44] Lasivian: map as in street map? [15:44] mrwes: DON'T format it with FAT [15:44] I guess that's a negative...? [15:44] HenrikV: go to www.ubuntu.com and they have a detailed information on the same [15:44] dennda: will FAT even format on a 1TB drive? [15:45] LjL, / dennda : well it'l be connected to my server -- static. I have a small 30gb drive w/ enclosure I use to for portability [15:45] any1 here installed a gedit plugin before? [15:45] LjL: FAT is limited... [15:45] mrwes: then ext3 should be fine [15:45] krishnan, I'm reading that information. Doesn't seem very detailed to me [15:45] LjL, : ok.. thanks -- that's the plan then [15:45] mrwes: If your server is running some linux OS, use ext3 [15:45] HenrikV: send me the URL [15:46] LjL: that'll take what? couple of days? heh [15:46] dennda, 8.04 [15:46] mrwes: formatting it? nah... [15:46] Use ext3 then. [15:46] yah [15:46] oye!... my shell script to scp seems to be running from commandline, but not in the cron that happen when i logout and at the designated times... any hints? [15:46] HenrikV: u want to upgrade from which version to which one? [15:46] mrwes: Formatting it will take like a few seconds [15:46] mrwes: just do a quick format [15:46] mrwes: (i.e. the standard mkfs format) [15:47] does anyone know where the cron error log lies ? [15:47] LjL; ok...from the command line use mkfs right? [15:47] (Note that the data is not physically destroyed when doing a quick format) [15:47] mrwes: mkfs -t ext3 [15:47] mrwes: mkfs.ext3 ... [15:47] LjL; w/ the correct /dev [15:47] of course :-) [15:47] dennda: (not that it matters much, but you're not supposed to actually use mkfs.* directly, but rather mkfs -t ) [15:47] :) [15:47] LjL: Isn't the latter just dispatched to mkfs.? [15:48] dennda, /sbin/mkfs.ext3 [15:48] Several programs, including nautilus, crash when trying to load since an upgrade several months ago. Would someone please help me find what is wrong? [15:48] dennda: at the end of the day - yes it is. but it's akin to calling /etc/init.d/whatever directly instead of using invoke-rc.d... it's just not the interface you're supposed to use, "in theory" the underlying mechanism might change at any time [15:48] LjL: RPG map [15:48] can someone here help me out with a gedit plugin [15:48] thanks guys [15:49] LjL: Sure. [15:49] Lasivian: no idea then [15:49] I was just dealing with today's repo updates and one of them was Thunderbird. the description said it was a transitional package before the new name. I can't find anything at all about T-bird being renamed. Anybody know what's up? [15:50] akahige1: they're merely renaming "mozilla-thunderbird" to "thunderbird" methinks [15:51] LjL: correct === sellout_ is now known as lrvick [15:51] akahige1: the package is changing names, not the software itself [15:51] akahige1: you can tell by noting that mozilla-thunderbird now depends on thunderbird === wizard_ is now known as E-o-G [15:51] Lasivian: this might be something for you: http://www.rptools.net/index.php?page=maptool [15:51] LjL: really? that's... weird. LOL thanks [15:52] tritium: thanks for the clarification [15:52] akahige1: sure. [15:53] I cant get ubuntu to recogonize a card reader on my epson printer. It work before but not at the moment.

I'm new to the linux world and I'd like to ask what would be the best choice of FS for a /home and a / partition. I'm thinking about XFS. Any good article? I'm a home user... thanks [15:56] joanadarc: for general home use, stick with ext3. [15:56] joanadarc: there is no general "best" choice really, but just going with ext3 will at least give reasonable guarantees of data integrity - and it's the default [15:56] dernet.org === roman is now known as lastent [15:56] Hrm. === foobar is now known as Guest38053 [15:57] Do these applets work for anyone with java installed? https://scenegraph-demos.dev.java.net/demo-applets.html [15:57] hi [15:57] joanadarc: Afaik, XFS is unmaintained.

[16:57] it's safe to delete that file? [16:57] is 50MB!" [16:58] evantravers: configure the remote box to use remote desktop, menu, system, preferences, remote desktop. Or use ssh and X forwarding. [16:58] jatt: i think that's probably the spam filter [16:58] jatt: i wouldn't call it safe to delete [16:59] found what i wanted i think: mhddfs combines multiple mount points into one, which maybe i can then share over the network [17:00] i want to remove some manually installed libraries and in the /usr/local file, i see the library's .la and .so files [17:00] i want to delete them to get rid of the remains of what is there [17:00] is this ok to do?

I'm a newbie, trying to make my way in the world [17:03] ello? [17:04] i need help makin a network server [17:04] cipherZen: I guess I reasoned that since I can VNC in remotely if I log into the box locally, so if I could log in through terminal remotely, I could VNC in. [17:04] am i the only one talking here [17:05] unknownguy: try #ubuntu-server [17:05] oh come on [17:05] unknownguy: uh, is there a problem? [17:05] Hello, I trying to setup a SOCKS proxy for VNC. I have setup a SOCKS for firefox using port 9999. My question is, can I bind another port as well (in this case port 5900) to go through the SSH? [17:05] unknownguy: be patient... all of the people here are nice, and they aren't living just to help you. They tasks to do to. [17:06] ok then how do i make my own network server?\ [17:06] hi kyle [17:06] javierg: you should be able to set up as many SOCKS proxies as you want [17:07] unknownguy: try asking a more precise question. you're more likely to get a response. [17:07] evantravers: It's fine, we're all newbies sometime. you should be able to start the vncserver when you ssh in, and then connect over VNC [17:07] How do I specify them? Currently I use ssh -D 9999 -l [17:07] unknownguy: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts [17:08] cipherZen, How do I specify them? Currently I use ssh -D 9999 -l [17:08] javierg: i would just open up another terminal shell and execute the same command again with a different port number [17:09] ok um does anybody have a myspace account? [17:09] cipherZen, Ah ok, I was going to do that, but didn't know if there was a way to specify both in one command, or another way (less steps, terminals) [17:09] unknownguy: dude, your questions are the vaguest most random i've ever seen in here. [17:10] Who wants to cyber? [17:10] javierg : if you dont want to have a bunch of terminals open, you can specify ssh to run in the background, so you execute them both in the same bash session [17:10] javierg: just use the -f flag as well [17:11] cipherZen, Ok, I'll try and figure that out. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. [17:11] np, hope it helps [17:11] unknownguy: you could start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html [17:12] if i wanted to make Ubuntu mount "any" vfat-based-drive using specific option, how would i do that? [17:13] Does anyone have any suggestions for me? [17:13] javierg: you actually need the -Nf flags, sorry. just tried it myself. [17:13] ThePhantom: what was your question [17:13] :cipherZen Thanks! What would be the name of the package for the built in VNC server? (remote desktop, whatever it's called.) [17:14] cipherZen, Can you type the command out. I just did a ssh -help and didn't see -Nf I don't know what flags those are. [17:14] i had a nice, secure, complex password for my user account but I changed it to something much simpler because it gets really annoying to type it each time for sudo. Is there a way to login using a complex password but then have a different less secure password for sudo? Anyways sudo only works if i am in my account so this wouldnt be insecure... [17:14] umm... i would say always use a complex for sudo [17:14] sheesh [17:14] sudo can break everything [17:15] evantravers, sudo is only available after u login, its not a real account [17:15] CipzherZen: My question/problem, just installed Kubuntu 8.10 and the drivers for Xorg did not setup any 3d profile or graphics drivers for my built in card [17:15] oh, i'm sorry [17:15] stupid me [17:15] learn something new every day [17:15] I can't find any theme I like :( [17:15] Ginbuntu: join the club [17:16] hahaha.

[17:16] but i love ubuntu [17:16] i want to get a netbook and stick ubuntu on it. [17:16] why can\t ubuntu has a better looking theme than OS X [17:16] evantravers: I need a little more info I guess on your setup, are you using VNC or are you using RDP. or do you know haha [17:17] evantravers, i did that on my eee - but i strongly recommend xubuntu [17:17] and you won't be sorry about the netbook...ive got one, and i love it [17:17] Is there any possibilities to delete the last panel so I don't have any desktop panels at all? [17:17] Ginbuntu: to be fair, it's been a few months since i last looked for gnome themes. but last time i checked, i didnt see anything i really liked [17:17] evantravers, I just erased OS X from my machine and installed Ubuntu [17:17] ginbuntu: I'm so so sorry. :D [17:17] osX is great if u replace your penis with a vagina [17:18] Ginbuntu: i'm so happy for you.

However, today I am upgrading my mobo and installing a ATI Radeon HD 4830. I was wondering if there was anything i had to do software wise because last time when i went from Nvidia to onboard ATI it was a headache, no image was displayed. But this time im going from onboard ATI to an ATI card. Thanks [17:24] ThePhantom: are you sure the versions and such are the same? what was the exact error it gave you? [17:24] hi! I've installed ubuntu 8.10 over a macbook v2.1 and I can't configure the sound... I was reading some forums to solve it, but nobody withou the same problem. asoundconf list doesn't recognise any target [17:25] slerder: shouldn't be any major conflicts that I see of the top of my head, but then again, it is ATI...:P [17:26] cipherzen, what is ATI known to not get along well with linux or ubuntu? [17:27] slerder: maybe others have had different experiences, but for me, ATIs drivers have been buggy beyond all belief [17:27] cipherzen, on what OS? [17:27] nacho, what kernel ? [17:28] slerder: I've seen the same as cipherZen, especially in linux but even in winders at times [17:28] 2.6.27-11-generic [17:28] yes I wonder when will ATI work well with wine... [17:28] is there an easy way in 8.10 to set the permissions on a folder and all subfolders and files to read only for "other" users. i have tried the "apply permissions to enclosed folders/files button and it donen't do it [17:28] pregier, well im not going to game in ubuntu.. Wait, so you can game on wine with Nvidia cards? [17:29] nacho, what does this say : alsactl -v [17:29] jamesclayden1983: from the console, "chmod +R o-w /di/rec/to/ry/" [17:29] slerder: wine works well with both ati and nvidia, but especially well in my experience with nvidia [17:29] slerder: every linux distro i've tried since i started using linux...my old laptop had an ATI gpu, and it was always an issue [17:29] alsactl version 1.0.14rc2 [17:29] same with a desktop that i have as well with a newer ATI card [17:29] I compile alsa-drivers from the web [17:30] nacho you must upgrade you alsa drivers [17:30] ljl, will have have to do that comand for every folder [17:30] stefan_can, I donwloaded the current version from alsa web, and compile it manually [17:30] F1 == help; me don't want [17:30] jamesclayden1983: no, the "-R" means it'll work recursively in subfolders. by the way, it's "-R", not "+R", i make a typo there [17:30] I need any more that alsa-driver*? [17:30] nacho, well it can't be the newest version as I have alsactl version 1.0.15 on a hardy install [17:30] thank you ljl [17:31] last time I did it it was version 18 [17:31] stefan_can, go see to compile alsa-ctl...

[17:37] !etiquette > stepomaticc (stepomaticc, see the private message from ubottu) [17:38] ljl, not sure if you are still here i found that the code you gave didn't work chmod +R o-w /di/rec/to/ry/ did work [17:38] kantor: uhm, i don't think so. not entirely sure. [17:38] ok [17:38] jamesclayden1983: err, that *is* what i gave you... aside from +R being -R [17:38] I am running ubuntu 8.10 and cannot ping any local FQDN, I can ping any machine and I get back my IP and the FQDN in the ping output [17:38] I cannot ping my FQDN it times out. any clues? [17:39] ljl, chmod +R 755 /di/rec/to/ry/ is what worked [17:39] shouldn't it be chmod -R 755 /dir/rec/to/ry [17:39] or --recursive [17:39] skippycostin: do you have other network connection problems, or just with icmp? [17:39] is should, i misstyped again [17:40] jamesclayden1983: 755 and o-w are similar. 755 means user can do anything, but group and others can't write. o-w means "take away write ability from other users" [17:41] just ping I haven't tested anything else [17:41] ljl: i understand now, they had no permissions to start with so that is why the first code didn't work..... thank you === elpargo_ is now known as elpargo [17:43] skippycostin: a couple of possibilities: 1) the machines are configured to ignore pings, and drop them silently, leaving you with a timeout (not very likely) 2) you have a bad routing table (view it with "/sbin/route -n"), and you need to set a route to the network that you wish to reach. [17:44] somebody had the screen freeze, screen blank when logged off with fglrx installed ? [17:45] I can ping the machine just not the FQDN [17:45] so it's not routing issues right? [17:45] skippycostin: in that case, it's probably a dns issue [17:46] sipior, any idea how one might fix it? [17:46] skippycostin: if by "ping the machine", you mean "ping the ip address, instead of the name". [17:46] skippycostin: yes, you can contact the guy who administers your local dns :-) [17:47] skippycostin: an easy way to tell: try "dig ", and see what comes back. === fader|lunch is now known as fader [17:47] skippycostin: install "dnsutils" if you don't have dig. [17:47] sipior, pinging the ip and hostname work, just not the fqdn.. [17:48] skippycostin: then what does dig say about the fqdn? [17:48] sipior, where do you want me to paste the result? [17:49] skippycostin: whichever pastebin you like, but i need to be gone in about three minutes, so you'll need to ask someone else to take a look :-) [17:49] oh ok thanks for the help [17:49] skippycostin: good luck sorting things out [17:49] ta [17:50] my display settings are set to 1440x900@75Hz but my monitor only supports 60Hz refresh rate is it an error? === izibi_ is now known as izibi [17:50] hey all...

[19:25] im truing to sandbox an ubuntu install to only run 1 application... im trying to use sessions, does any have any recommendation for sessions or any other approach to make it so a user can only use 1 program [19:25] blip, no not yet [19:25] hrmmm [19:25] blip, using hardy [19:25] murlidhar, fresh install? [19:25] hi there ubuntu people [19:25] i've got a problem [19:25] usser: hmm, any ideas how to take directories with me without using -r for cp? [19:26] can anyone help me out [19:26] !ask | Xonnie316 [19:26] Xonnie316: 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. :-) [19:26] d_1nev1tab1e, i'm reluctant to suggest mv instead :) to include directories, try a dry run of find . -mmin -120 see if it prints the files and dirs that you need [19:26] blip, well yes i did it today and now it doesn't boot even [19:26] blip, tried many live cds but couldn't get them boot too :( [19:26] murlidhar, its usually a burn problem...but u dont have that, and there is a bug with that kernel it seems for certain hd [19:26] murlidhar, what program are you burning with? [19:27] murlidhar, do u have a samsung hard drive by any chance? [19:27] I feel like an idiot for being unable to get this to work: I have installed Ubuntu 8.10 on an external USB hard drive. This is a large drive and I did a standard install, not a "usb bootable." [19:27] usser: this is actually more about removing the files, i just used copy for testing. my /usr/share got messed up when i accidently installed matlab to it [19:27] mrwes, i used imgburn from windows [19:27] When I reboot, I get grub error 21. [19:27] I don't see any obvious-to-me errors in the menu.lst [19:27] rjbs, can you pastebin it? [19:27] blip, i think one of them is a samsung [19:27] binarymutant: My menu.lst? [19:28] rjbs, ya [19:28] murlidhar, maybe try active iso burner http://www.ntfs.com/iso-burning.htm [19:28] Hi how can I find out what driver I am using for my video card this is the card I am using ATI Technologies Inc RV670PRO [Radeon HD 3850] [19:28] binarymutant: Sure, it'll take a minute or two. I need to reboot from a Live CD or something so I can see it. [19:28] paul68, lsmod will show it [19:28] mrwes, i don't thnk it will work but will try it though [19:28] murlidhar, one person switched cables for the hard drive and it worked afterwards...another just wiped out the drive and did a fresh install of 8.10 [19:28] d_1nev1tab1e, mv should do what you need, its just that you gotta be careful not to move anything that you dont want moved [19:29] While I wait for this to boot... [19:29] I wish to install Flash for Ubuntu [19:29] blip, i can't afford to wipe the drive [19:29] hey all.. [19:29] I had no problem creating a bootable SD. I don't mind booting from that and keeping things like /home on the ext USB. [19:29] is there a dreamweaver for linux? [19:29] usser: how do i start the dry run then? [19:29] Hello, when I mount or dismount my iPod nano 1st gen I get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/134361/ [19:29] rjbs, you heard of runlevel 1? [19:29] murlidhar, are u dual booting on that machine [19:29] I don't know what I need to know to do that easily, for example by having the external drive's volumes mount in a consistent place. [19:30] zenlunatic: Yes. [19:30] blip, yes [19:30] I haven't had any issues until yesterday. [19:30] d_1nev1tab1e, find . -mmin -120 [19:30] murlidhar, d/l ext2 addon for windows and save all ur files [19:30] d_1nev1tab1e, its going to print out the filenames [19:30] How can I install Adobe Flash for my Ubuntu OS ? :D [19:30] usser: oops. ok that was kinda obvious, hehe [19:30] d_1nev1tab1e, backup /usr/share before you actually run find with mv [19:31] murlidhar, or try a diff cable [19:31] blip, ok but i am not able to boot livecd so how will i be able to do a fresh installation [19:31] Xonnie316 sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin [19:31] Xonnie316: 64-bit? [19:31] blip, diff cable maybe [19:31] I have booted from a live CD and the iPod mounts fine. [19:31] murlidhar, sata cables go bad easier than ide [19:31] yes 64 bit [19:31] blip, i got ide [19:31] Xonnie316, oh, well I'm not sure then [19:31] binarymutant: this is my output http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/134364/ [19:31] nah, if you use 64-bit you should not use the flash package in the repo [19:31] it sucks [19:31] murlidhar, are u using the burner drive to install? [19:32] I used all 4 downloads from : http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ [19:32] blip, anyways i have to slleep now . good night . thanks for the help [19:32] and it won't work :( [19:32] blip, yes [19:32] murlidhar, let it cool down and try it [19:32] blip, hmm [19:32] blip, will do that hten [19:32] murlidhar, ur using a dell?

[19:33] just do that, and restart Firefox [19:33] murlidhar, still let it cool down...i'll be on tomorrow [19:33] nic1: to watch the output it produces when crashing?

[19:42] i want it to scroll like 3x faster across all apps [19:42] paul68, cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ATF0/temperature [19:43] rjbs, no clue hopefully someone else knows a fix [19:43] binarymutant: no such file or direcory [19:43] binarymutant: Thanks, anyway. [19:43] rjbs, all I'm seeing on the web is people saying "reinstall" [19:43] binarymutant: My related question was: If I make a bootable SD card (which I've done) is it easy to make sure that some particular external drive is always mounted at the same point? [19:43] whats the best samba share config tool for ubuntu gnome [19:43] binarymutant: Well, reinstalling a fresh install can't hurt. [19:44] So I'll try that too.

I don't know of any way to script adding a new tab to an existing window. Also, the tabs vanish as soon as their command completes. [20:13] its running fluxbox, no screensaver is running, but it still blanks, how can I find out what process is doing this?

[22:12] rickest: yes, in the "common" tab [22:12] hitman_beginner: look for the post by hyperair [22:12] So no-one had ideas for good calculator software? I don't want to run TI89 emulator :D [22:13] hi people [22:13] or4n: you just want some software for doing calculations? [22:14] hello [22:14] or4n: I just use Qualculate or speedcrunch [22:14] calculations? I just use expr :) [22:14] somebody have a dell inspiron ? [22:14] ahlala: just wait till you see a question you want to answer ... :-)) [22:14] dell mini inspiron ? [22:14] Slart: but I need graphing calculator... and it would be nice if I could derivate and stuff with it too [22:14] guntbert -> yes i know ;) [22:14] just a quick question. How do I fix the shutdown command? Whenever I issue it. It doesn't do what its supposed to do. [22:14] SLI works for Ubuntu? === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [22:14] or4n: symbolic math.. hmm.. not many apps for that in linux land [22:15] Akkernight: what is SLI? [22:15] or4n: derive is one of the few.. but it's starting to show its age [22:15] i just installed hfs+ but i still cant write on my mac drive [22:15] thiebaude, Nvidia SLI for using two Graphics cards.. Dunno if it supports mroe than one [22:15] Slart: it's just that it would be easier to do stuff with laptop than my TI89 [22:15] Slart: derive runs on linux? [22:16] mvalviar: sudo shutdown -h now <--now is needed or a specfic time. [22:16] guntbert: I'm seeing no common tab in synaptic. where? [22:16] how do i open the nvidia control panel in ubuntu hardy heron 8.04 [22:16] guntbert: hmm.. for a while I thought it did.. I can't find it though... [22:16] mralexandro : did you have the latest drivers installed ? [22:17] derive + wine :D [22:17] got nvidia Ge Force4Ti 4200 [22:17] that's too bad if there isn't better solution [22:17] I have 4GB of RAM, but on Vista 32bit it was only 3200mb RAM, 'cause it was 32bit, now I have Ubuntu 64bit, does this mean I can have access to all the 4GB RAMs ? [22:17] Slart: pity, because the ti89 uses derive as base [22:17] Akkernight: yes [22:18] Akkernight: yes [22:18] thats what I issue. It takes me to the progress bar screen and stays there. Its odd because its suppose to empty. But what is shown is a progress bar filling up. It stops at about 95%. [22:18] Awesome ^^ One more reason why to use Ubuntu [22:18] do not use the Vista PAE hack to gain access to that upper 800MB of RAM, not worth it [22:18] xP [22:18] i just set up DNS. how do i tell my domain name to use it (what do i tell it to use as the name server?) [22:18] To be fair - Vista x64 would see the full 4GB [22:18] i dont know about the latest driver. since this is a laptop the graphic driver is listed as prohibited or something. but i downloaded trough hardware drivers manager. is there a place i can find the latest? [22:18] Akkernight: u only had 3200 in vista cuz of ur video memory cuz video memory plus ram cant exceed 4gb on any 32bit os [22:18] guntbert: sorry.. I was thinking of maxima.. my bad [22:19] rickest: open preferences, select "show package properties in main....", or just right click on a package, select properties [22:19] well except os x its hybrid :D [22:19] or4n: maxima is the package I was thinking of.. not derive [22:19] cpudan80, I know, but I don't want to spend what... $1000 more for 800 more MBs of RAM xP [22:19] Suggest me please nice desktop switcher for xfce. I don't like "Pager" [22:19] k4r1m, I know that, but I was wondering if Ubuntu supported 4GB of RAM ;) [22:19] well - you shoulda bought the right OS in the first place - but thats OT === RoozbehOnline is now known as Roozbeh|Away [22:19] hi all, just checking my connection...by by.

Version 5.13.0-3ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 9039 kB, installed size 33148 kB [22:20] Slart: np :-), maxima is a symbolic algebra tool? [22:20] cpudan80, here where I live PCs gets sold with a installed OS xP [22:20] Akkernight: yeah if the 32bit ubuntu was like os x it would be so much better [22:20] guntbert: iirc, yes.. I've never gotten used to it though [22:20] guntbert: indeed, thanks. I still don't see the source repository but that's more info than I had [22:20] so anybody knows could i get ubuntu to write on my hfs drive?

[22:28] hogger: my laptop works fine on ubuntu 8.10, ibm T61 is well supported [22:28] shane8002: which kernel are you using? [22:28] ahlala, i have restarted and compiz fusion effects work good. like cube etc. the graphic card works. it is just that i think i remember that first time after installing ubuntu hardy heron on a computer you have to activate the nvidia controll panel [22:28] sebsebseb: I supposed your "little finger" was nervous :-)) [22:28] with a command in terminal [22:28] i have an T61 also but the fan seems to be always running [22:28] guntbert: lol [22:28] Slart: if windoze doesn't freeze ;) [22:28] k4r1m: did you try to write as root ? [22:29] well I installed a new kernel specifically for the acer aspire one but i didnt work right so i need to go back to the original in intrepid. I think its 2.6.27 [22:29] DasEi: nope i will now :D [22:29] hogger: mine doesn't, maybe you forgot to install something ?!?

[22:31] Damn, aMSN used 50% of my processor power = Quad Core ~ 2.4GHz(x4) o.o ain't that kinda much ? [22:31] Jeroen: how often does your fan run? [22:31] hogger: there are a few thinkpad specific pages out there, wait a sec and i'll look it up [22:31] k4r1m: I run no apple here right now, try to re-mount it manually (see man mount) ?

[22:32] hitman_beginner, I've struggeled with that problem for ages, now I got it to work for my friend by adjusting the sound settings for Ubuntu [22:32] Jeroen: Ive been in Belgium for the last few months and it's still been running, even with the heat turned off!

(C/C++) [22:33] I have ubuntu and kubuntu and I want to login kubuntu most of the time [22:33] It's on laptop [22:34] I'm not sure if this is the right place, but does anyone have a recommendation of using Java Azureus or native Azureus? I'm on x64 if that matters. [22:34] tacosarecool: gdm or kdm, you should be able to set the default environment there [22:34] tacosarecool: it should work, you should just have to select the session you want to start in the Options of the login screen... [22:34] DasEi : yes [22:34] hogger: tc, it worked 4me and i don't have the same issue, however hardware can cause the needed airflow when things get hotter than it should, usually dust build up in the cooling fins etc. [22:34] that won't work I have to login to ubuntu first to get wireless internet [22:34] I want ti use 'Wammu' as my mobile phone manager in ubuntu 8.10 but when configuring a connection it asks me the port where the phone is connected to.. what do I have to enter there?

[22:35] then if I let it sleep or whatever the internet disconnects from kde [22:35] i dont understand [22:35] Cpudan80: i believe its the gfx card, cause the intergrated 4mb card works just fine [22:35] i have a ubuntu hardy server (i386) that I'm trying to send the logs to a central log host. the loghost is running syslog-ng. i added `*.* @FQDN_of_loghost` to /etc/syslog.conf and tried to restart the syslog service, and i don't see it's logs showing up at the log host.. what am i doing wrong?

I was on-line earlier today... [22:39] stuntedbluntman: apt-get remove [22:39] gartral: set output to "X11" or XVideo ... [22:39] what was it I needed to type into the terminal to be able to download software not supported by Ubuntu, like Skype ? [22:40] found it. to install nvidia control panel you go to terminal and type sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [22:40] Ubuntu team, I mean [22:40] gartral: XVideo is prob a better bet than X11, but X11 should work [22:40] dik: web browser problems? can't go on webpages?

Any other places to look? [22:41] gartral: really it depends on your HW -- you may have to play around with the options [22:41] Cpudan80: im a media-phile, if theres any distortion, i get angry >.> [22:42] hi [22:42] Cpudan80: xvideo selected, should i restart vlc and try again, or does it change "on the fly" in linux (i hate windows) [22:42] why is it possible that ubuntu hardy is LTS and Kubuntu hrady not? [22:42] i mean they are both connected to the same repos [22:42] gartral: just close and reopen VLC [22:42] stuntedbluntman: or lookup synaptic [22:43] gartral: I think it would change on the fly - not real sure [22:43] Hi! [22:43] DasEi: is there maybe no Journaling support? [22:43] i know sudo cp /div/xxx.xxx /etc/div will copy a file. but what is the command for erasing a file? [22:43] is it dl?

[22:51] gartral: how much video ram do you have? [22:51] dik: yeah exactly, your meant to get most programs off Ubuntu's server. either via the command line, or the slow graphical way [22:51] dik: two slow graphical ways to choose from [22:51] dik: sudo apt-get install galeon ephipany-browser [22:51] Cpudan80: total, or on the active card? i have 64 mb on the card, 4 intergrated to the mobo [22:51] hmm [22:52] 64 should be plenty enough [22:52] dik: epiphany probably won't add itself to the menu, but you can open it by running epiphany-browser from the terminal once installed. and galeon is rather nice as well :) [22:52] Cpudan80: i can run games fine, but movies dont [22:52] dik: plus there are quite a few other browsers I could have told you to install :d [22:52] dik: that are all good as well [22:52] ok here goes .... i can play DVD movies with VLC and Totem... by using the interlace i can make the quality ok. the problem comes from trying to use other movie players they say i don't have libdvdcss. [22:52] kansan: if you can't move the panel you can try right-clicking on it and check that it isn't "locked" [22:53] hay guys how do i edit the grub boot loader to always boot to windows unless i press a key, if you can link me to a guide i would much appreciate it‬?:P [22:53] sebsebseb: epiphany's icon situation resolves itself if you log out and back in again. It's a race condition caused by the binary and its icon being in different packages. [22:53] cipherZen, ok here goes .... i can play DVD movies with VLC and Totem... by using the interlace i can make the quality ok. the problem comes from trying to use other movie players they say i don't have libdvdcss. [22:53] kansan: if it isn't locked you might want to try again.. they are supposed to be "draggable" [22:53] rww: a race condition????

If the binary's package gets installed first (which doesn't generally happen), everything is fine. [22:54] gartral: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:54] sebsebseb, thanks a lot, I will see wht occurs [22:54] p-f: might be hardcoded.. I've never seen a way to turn it off [22:54] sorry if I typed it wrong the first time [22:54] Slart: that's...horrible [22:54] Slart: it keeps blinking every time there's traffic on the interface [22:54] Krell, it's past my level of expertise, sorry... [22:55] dik, ok :) thanks for offering to help [22:55] p-f: yup.. it's a rough world out there.. my bluetooth dongle kept me awake at night..

I'M DOING STUFF!"... [22:55] hrm, yeah, i remember that issue now [22:55] * p-f twitches [22:56] sebsebseb: correct, because GNOME re-checks icons at login, so it sees the binary and re-enables the icon, so it shows up.

[22:56] Krell, I don't use video stuff excepd as it comes:-) [22:56] that's my understanding of it, anyway [22:56] gartral: sorry wrong one [22:56] dik: are you on that computer using IRC?

[22:58] hi, i reinstalled ubuntu jaunty and mounted my old home as always, but now my whole home partition shows the fresh installed folders, but gparted + nautilus shows, that 60gb are used, is there a way to recover the file/directory strukture? [22:58] yes but it is likely some video player setting you need to change [22:58] sebsebseb, VBA = Visual Basic for Application. used for macro/functions under excel i think theres a way to do this in OOo [22:58] cipherZen, umm totem and VLC work, mplayer, kaffeine, qxine do not [22:58] gartral: you could try running vlc from the terminal to see what it says [22:58] NOWAII: hmm.. you might have to do something before it works.. install something or run some setup.. have you searched the forums? [22:58] gartral: ex. just start vlc from the terminal, then try playing video [22:58] it'll tell you if bad things are happenin [22:59] Cpudan80: i already tryed it, the problem is transparent to vlc it continues as if everything were normal [22:59] albacker: yes I thought it was visual basic nonsense [22:59] what is the command to restart x without rebooting ubuntu?

[23:01] albacker: visual basic sucks according to many people, including the guy that got me all into opensource in the first place and now studys Computer Science at one of the best universities in the world. anyway VBA alternative properly not, but Microsoft Office 2003 and 2007 most of it, works quite well under Wine. [23:01] gartral: hmmmmmmm how much video ram does ubuntu see? [23:01] Cpudan80: however, its been playing 7 minutes straight with your suggestion of switching output engines, maybe the "defualt" was what was doing it [23:01] skinofstars1, [23:01] Cpudan80: how do i tell? [23:01] voice5sur5: err, no. it comes hardwired into asus stuff. as far as i remember the best you'll get is a fast loader [23:02] albacker: probably no alternative to VBA unless Open Office has something say. if I am correct it can also be the thing for macros? [23:02] cipherZen, all i seem to find in a google search is about installing the restricted drivers :/ and i have done most all of them they now all tell me that is it already installed [23:02] what is a loader? [23:02] elli222: cat image > /dev/fb0 [23:02] like grub? [23:02] voice5sur5: how fast do you want it to boot? [23:02] BRB [23:02] sebsebseb, i need it for school and im not going to debate with you if it suck or not. and yes it's the thing for macros. [23:03] i want an instant one like 10 seconds just to get to the web [23:03] gartral: ehh I thought glxinfo would tell you ... but apparently it does not ...

[23:06] What's the standard checklist for "can't ping this machine" in ubuntu, if there is one? [23:07] voice5sur5: google it, 5 sec fedora. it was a demo, really stripped out. there are instructions around for doing it with ubuntu. let me check my bookmarks [23:07] Krell, Kaffeine uses totem correct? [23:07] gartral: ok thats good .... then [23:07] does "sudo apt-get install Skype" give me 64 bit version ? [23:07] there is a 64 bit version? [23:07] gartral: well if it works with the modified output setting for VLC, you basically have to go tell the other programs to use X11 or whatever output it is that you chose [23:07] fno, no idea... [23:07] friend wants ubuntu, problem is that outlook express mail needs to be saved before she ditches windows. What is the best way to go about backing up the outlook express main and attachments (pix)? [23:07] and i have also tried to disable and put back on the ad-ons [23:08] Cpudan80: setting it to use x11 video overlay seems too have totally fixed it [23:08] hooray! [23:08] I am ... displeased..

The Ubuntu laptop can see the internet, the XP box can see the internet, both via the same hub - so things appear to be working. But they can't ping one another. [23:35] brb [23:35] or which copiler do you suggest ? [23:35] Cpudan80: how do i normalize the video output so it isnt choppy? [23:35] Hfuy: it's about vbox preferences [23:35] Hfuy, are they on the same subnet ? [23:35] !compile c [23:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about compile c [23:36] <_dbd_l12> Hasanibrahim: you probably have gcc installed with your ubuntu install (e.g. gcc 4.2 with ubuntu 8.04) [23:36] dik: i don't know where i must ask this. [23:36] Hi guys, I have a bash command that gives colored output, I'd like to write this output to file (say html or rtf) whilest preserving the coloring (> doesn't), anyone know how i could achieve that? [23:36] hey guys im about ot rip my hair out my scalp .... I just bought myself a really pathetic graphics card but apparently it has 256 meg ram .... but according to ubuntu it only has 128 ..... can anyone shed some light on the subject [23:36] _dbd_l12: i installed gcc [23:36] Hasanibrahim, just trying... [23:37] Hasanibrahim: you should install build-essential for other things you may end up needing === dhalsim is now known as dhalsimm [23:37] tritium: i installed [23:37] Hasanibrahim: What's vbox? [23:37] it, too [23:37] !vbox [23:37] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [23:37] arjun, where are you seeing 128 [23:37] !vbox > Hfuy [23:37] Hfuy, please see my private message [23:37] A virtualiser? [23:37] What's that got to do with networking?! [23:37] <_dbd_l12> type Hasanibrahim: you can check the gcc version your system is using by default by typing "ls -al /usr/bin/gcc" in a terminal. You can change a compiler with "export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.1" if you would like that compiler [23:38] Hfuy, don't know, i just saw you asking what is vbox [23:38] xtknight: in vbox when I get to assign graphics memory to my virtual machine [23:38] marko-_--: Aha, I see. [23:38] I have an issue with networking, which worked previously. [23:38] arjun, and how do you know that's not just a limitation of vbox? [23:39] <_dbd_l12> Hasanibrahim: how the compile works depends on the program (read the compilation) notes but it is mostly (if all dependencies are configured) the following 3 steps: "./configure", then "make" and then "make install" in the source directory of the app. You may need sudo rights to do so [23:39] I've no idea about virtualisation, and I don't know how it's involved in networking. [23:39] Cpudan80: my video is really really choppy still, any ideas? [23:39] what is the transfer speed between partitions? I mean, not in detail, but like, faster - same - slower ? xP [23:39] Hfuy: vbox has nothing to do with it, but the other question was valid - are the machines in the same subnet? [23:39] <_dbd_l12> Hasanibrahim: but it depends on the program, really. What problem are you having? [23:40] Anyone have experience installing the Omni printer driver for cups? [23:40] xtknight: well thats what I thought aswell but when I pushed my graphics memory up to 128 it told me that Im using more than half my cards ram [23:40] _dbd_l12: so thank you a lot [23:40] and that Id murder my machine [23:40] arjun, huhh..well anyway why does the VM need that much vram? [23:40] i (now) understand [23:41] <_dbd_l12> Hasanibrahim: no problem [23:41] xtknight: well cause im working with flex on xp ... its the only reason Im actually using vbox [23:41] one of my friend use Vim and when he press F9, codes are compiling [23:41] i couldn't find about this in google [23:41] so i asked here [23:41] any idea why I see a string untranslated in gnome-screenshot but when I look inside the po file it is translated?

This computer's Ubuntu was setup using the 32 bit cd [23:52] aijnknknj, you can use cfdisk from command line, just make sure to save any files first [23:52] jlink: did you order that cd through shipit, or did you burn the iso yourself? [23:52] Do I need a special type of blank disc to burn the .iso or will any work? [23:52] how do i run a different window manager (ie: twm-kiosk] at boot up or as the session for a certain user? [23:52] gartral: And both CDs look in excellent condition, no scratches on either side, all shiny and such, etc [23:53] Slimmeh what kind do you have [23:53] jlink, ok, try burning another one at slower speeds, if it fails, try installing a cd to a flashdrive and boot from that [23:53] xtknight: mmmmm xorg.conf doesnt say anything about that [23:53] damn it... flash keeps freezing up firefox! [23:53] gartral: I might just try the flash drive option. Do you have a link for doing that?

I hate burning all these CDs, but at least I have enough cup holders now [23:54] xtknight: it just struck me is it possible that the fact that I have two seporate x screens mean that my card ram might have been shared between the two [23:54] i got an error on my sda hard drive when i tried right clicking on it to mount itcould not mount device the reported error was mount I could not determine the fils]]le systej]\\\m type and none was p\specified [23:54] whats the command to see the content of a dir?

The computer I'm installing it on was freshly built earlier today, and this is the first thing I've tried doing. I'm gonna install Ubuntu 32bit on the computer and see if everything goes through fine, just to double check that it's not a hardware issue [23:57] gartral: k, I'll try that [23:57] jlink, are you trying to use a raid? === Andre_Gondim-afk is now known as Andre_Gondim [23:57] gartral: Nope.
