I've tried booting Ubuntu 8.10 32bit and 64bit from the live CD, both are locking up on the Ubuntu load screen (with the orange bar that goes back and forth). Anyone have any ideas as to what kind of hardware issues could cause it to lockup during loading, that doesn't lock up when running MemTest86+ for half an hour? [00:04] is anybody tha have a dual gpu laptop? [00:04] cappicard: any other add-ons in FF? they can cause problems [00:04] xtknight: LOL well as far as I can see it seems its got 512 mb :P [00:04] i have my problem with using both [00:04] arjun_, :o weird [00:04] without reinstalling driver at each time [00:04] cappicard: it worked like a charm for me [00:04] ok how I disconect him vnet conection from me [00:04] arjun_, i guess file a bug against virtualbox [00:04] mmmm ok [00:04] !language | jlink [00:05] jlink: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. === carlos is now known as Guest49492 [00:05] jlink: you can change tty and see where it stops [00:05] <_dbd_l12> jlink: if this a dvd-drive you're booting the disk from, try burning the iso to dvd instead of cd. i've had similar strange read errors (md5'ed the burned disc) on ubuntu server edition iso's in the past [00:05] point6 please more precisiosly [00:05] <_dbd_l12> jilink: and then boot from dvd... [00:06] cappicard: do you see shockwave flash 10 in firefox, and no other shockwave? [00:06] jlink: at boot, hit f6 and remove quiet from the boot to watch it load, if it's response, hit ctrl+alt f1, f2, etc to drop to a terminal and shift + pg up and pg dn, to scroll the output. [00:06] responsive* [00:06] let me try again [00:06] cappicard: in add-ons [00:06] _dbd_l12: It is a DVD drive, but the only DVD burner (and tower to accept the dvd burner, in that case) is in that computer, lol [00:06] johnyb1: do you have anyting info on what is happening? [00:06] xtknight: my friend told me some time ago tha apparently with laptop graphics cards, the card actually steals ram of the actual physical ram on the computer ... and that sometimes you have to set this to be true.... do you know how this is done [00:06] hey all, i just installed ubuntu server on vmfusion here.. but the default terminal window size is really small... any ideas how to adjust that... ? [00:06] Ax3: I'll try that [00:06] xtknight: or if this is true [00:07] arjun_, sorry im not really sure. i know it's true but not sure how to control it [00:07] maybe vbox is only reporting actual vram or something [00:07] it's called turbocache [00:07] You know... I wonder if I could stick a CD drive in there, install Ubuntu from that (hopefully it works), then put the DVD drive in after installation [00:07] jlink, don't reboot unless you can't drop to a terminal [00:07] i see shockwave flash 10.0 r22 [00:07] <_dbd_l12> jilink: change tty (ctrl+alt+1...7) to see where it stops, maybe try the "noacpi" or "all_generic_ide" or "no_dma" or boot options [00:07] xtknight: cool thanx for the help :) [00:08] jlink, and there's little difference between the cd and dvd installations, did you verifty the md5 checksums of the .iso, prior to burning? [00:08] <_dbd_l12> arjun_: if it is controllable, it will be controllable in your BIOS [00:08] jlink, try a flashdrive yet? === Guest18892 is now known as [GuS] [00:08] arjun_, yup no problem [00:09] That was WEIRD, with a capital WEIRD! I checked my router, & dis/re-connected, & got my browser back! Deep joy! i can sleep easy now!

[00:12] ekiga says that my acer aspire one web cam does not have compatible drivers for the video format. Cheese works find. Could somebody help me fix this? === funkyHat is now known as dmsuperman [00:14] Ax3: When exactly do I need to hit Ctrl+Alt F1, F2, etc to get a terminal? === dmsuperm` is now known as funkyHat [00:14] jlink, if the gui fails to load [00:14] jlink, anytime after start === funkyHat is now known as Guest51023 [00:15] Ax3: Ah. I took out the quiet option, then pressed enter, then the load screen came up then froze, but nothing happens after CA F1,F2,etc [00:15] Ax3: I feel like a moron, lol. I'm usually good with this stuff, but not when I can't even get anything to boot === Guest51023 is now known as blahblahblah [00:16] Wouldn't putting the CD burner I used to make the CD into my new computer work for installing it? Then I could switch it out when I'm done? [00:17] xtknight: apparently vbox only allocates 128meg of vram :P [00:17] bigrigger: it did get that file [00:17] jlink: Yeah [00:17] arjun_, ah [00:17] jlink, ok so you took out quiet, it showed you the boot, scroll through ti [00:17] jlink, tell us where it stopped === blahblahblah is now known as funkyHat [00:17] cappicard: did you execute the script as such: sudo bash flash10_en.sh ? Have you tried other flash sites? [00:18] yes. any flash site i go to, firefox freezes [00:18] Ax3: There are four lines of text: " ok", "Running /scripts/init-premount ok", "Mounting root file system...", and "Running /scripts/casper-premount ok" === funkyHat is now known as list === list is now known as funkyHat [00:19] cappicard: ps aux in a terminal, insure no other instances of FF are running [00:19] none are running [00:19] Ax3: I don't have the ability to scroll up or down, either there aren't any more lines to scroll through, or it's completely frozen [00:19] jlink, ok......... so any indication of it not finding something, or some sort of error? yes you do! shift+pgup/pgdn [00:20] Ax3: I tried that, lol. It's completely frozen. [00:20] In Windowz there's hypertrm, what's the equivalent in Linux? to send data to a serial port [00:20] anxiolytic: Minicom [00:20] ciao a tutti [00:20] jlink, well that sucks a lot, bring me up to speed with what you _have_ tried [00:20] what is a better?? ekiga or skype??? [00:20] argh... this is very irritating [00:21] cappicard: do you see npviewer.bin in ps aux [00:21] jlink: thanks. how can I do it without a 3rd party app? I guess issuing some commands on the device (/dev/abc) === Tetracomm is now known as Rhodium [00:21] Rodrigo_Lopes: ekiga is free, so you can always make it better :-) [00:21] Ax3: lol, alright. I've tried booting from the live CD of a copy of Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop 32bit and 64bit. The 32bit CD is known to work, since I'm running it on this laptop [00:22] Ax3: I can also run Memtest86+ from the 64bit CD for at least 30 minutes, so we know it's doing *something* from the cd [00:22] i killed that one process [00:22] Rodrigo_Lopes: i mean: open source, [00:22] still blank [00:22] cappicard: you need that [00:22] Ax3: Also, using the Test the CD function on either CD causes the same kind of freezing [00:22] miki4242, yes.. I love open source, but.. ekiga or skype has more users???? [00:23] if ekiga is open source but dont have users, then for me, is useless [00:23] mikael79, if ekiga is open source but dont have users, then for me, is useless [00:23] jlink, one moment while i read [00:23] Rodrigo_Lopes: don't know exact numbers, but i guess skype has more users [00:23] Rodrigo_Lopes: Ekiga is compatable with any H.323 compatable thing, which includes netmeeting, etc. [00:24] jlink, did you verify the md5sum of the .iso prior to using the CD ? [00:24] Can somebody recommend a decent console bittorrent client? I've tried rTorrent and didn't really like it. [00:24] Ax3: No. How would I go about doing that [00:24] jlink: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [00:24] Flannel: oops, spoke before my turn :( [00:24] Ax3: Thanks. Be back in a minute [00:24] Flannel, what you mean???? ekiga, is compatible wich skype::: [00:24] jlink, you need to verify the integrity of the .iso, so we can narrow this down. [00:25] Flannel, what you mean???? ekiga, is compatible wich skype??? [00:25] Rodrigo_Lopes: No. Skype uses a closed protocol, which only Skype can connect to. Ekiga (and netmeeting, and some mac thing, along with others) all use the stardard protocol of H.323, which allows them to all communicate with each other. [00:25] jlink, compare the hash you get with this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [00:26] can anybody tell me if I can tell if msmtp is working on my ubuntu server [00:26] if i have a video_ts file with a whole bunch of VOB files, how do i burn it to disk on ubuntu? [00:26] !dvdburn [00:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about dvdburn [00:26] TimReichhart: netstat -tuap [00:26] ok guys. i have an ubuntu box on a dsl line. i'm having some trouble with accessing it from the outside world, via both ssh and http. the router has the machine dmz'd. where would i look to make sure it's not the linux box that's refusing connections? [00:27] Flannel, hummm.... i think I understand now... [00:27] Ax3: Hashes match [00:27] Is there a configuration file for HAL and if so, where? [00:27] ok i see its not started so how do I start it? [00:27] militant: sudo iptables -L on the dmz'd box [00:27] Does anyone know if 8.10 has any read/write power management issues with laptop hard drives? [00:28] Flannel, but for randon speak, is better skype, because more users.... [00:28] hello! [00:28] hi [00:28] <_dbd_l12> militant: try running "netstat -an | grep 22" to see if it listening, log into your ssh server @ localhost, make sure your router config (port forwards) etc. works [00:28] I've a very, very big problem and it would be very great if someone could help me [00:28] bruce89: ubottu didn't know [00:28] Flannel, its many windows users in skype..... [00:28] bigrigger, did so, not sure i'm understanding the output. the machine is 100% reachable from inside the lan [00:28] hvgotcodes: so I see [00:28] Rodrigo_Lopes: I have no idea how many people use skype vs h.323 [00:28] jlink, hmmm [00:28] bruce89: any other advice? [00:29] Ax3: Could a faulty video card cause an issue such as this? [00:29] hvgotcodes: dvdauthor [00:29] i have 2 hard hard drives mounted but it says that i cant write to them how do i get around this im using a knoppix cd [00:29] i installed a theme called Slickness-Black but in the Appearence Preferences I have a message "theme will not look as intended because GTK+ theme engine is not installed" I have installed a few GTk engine already but it seems there is one i am missing. Anybody knows what GTK+ engine I need? Thanks [00:29] jlink, no, we would at least see an indication of X crashing [00:29] bruce89: will brasero work? [00:29] maybe, exist more h.323.......but realy dont now... :p [00:29] anybody know how can i install oracle xe on ubuntu? [00:29] Flannel, maybe, exist more h.323.......but realy dont now... :p [00:29] _dbd_l12, that's part of the trouble. i'm unable to pin down whether it's my isp filtering incomings, or the router failing at port forwarding, or what [00:29] hvgotcodes: AFAIK it needs dvdauthor [00:29] jlink, do you have any other CD readers, can you swap the IDE channel on the mobo? [00:29] Ax3: Well, if the video card just locked up, would it still do that? [00:29] hello [00:30] ed1t: yes [00:30] Ax3: You mean swap CD drives? [00:30] Does anyone know if 8.10 has any read/write power management issues with laptop hard drives? [00:30] today i tried to install arch linux as a second os to my kubuntu 8.10 desktop. while installing arch, i had to create a new partition. that was still working. then i installed arch and wanted to configure my kubuntu grub to support the newly installed arch. But for some reasons, neither Arch nor Kubuntu wasn't loading afterwards. [00:30] anyone working on beagle board here? [00:30] ed1t: read this http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/xe-on-kubuntu.html [00:30] jlink, possibly swap channels [00:30] TimReichhart: see if it's in /etc/init.d/ if so sudo /etc/init.d/msmtp start I don't know the program myself. [00:30] oCean_: thx [00:30] Ax3: Alright, yeah. I've got several other Sata ports [00:30] ed1t: works for me [00:31] then i tried to correct it with arch in the konsole mode (the xserver isn't installed as default) and a few minutes ago i tried "fsck" [00:31] bruce89: thanx -- I don't need anything special to burn dual layer disks do i? [00:31] oCean_: do u know whats the difference between oracle xe and paid one? [00:31] any now?? what is better..???? Skype or Ekiga????? [00:31] hvgotcodes: don't think so [00:31] now my hard disk is only displayed as one big partition without a filesystem set.... [00:31] i can't access the files on it anymore [00:31] beagle board..anybody?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [00:31] jlink, it's a long shot, but i've had ports on my mobo crap out before [00:31] is there any way to correct the problem to get my old kubuntu working again? :( === BfrOv3rfl0w_ is now known as BfrOv3rfl0w [00:32] Ax3: I like longshots, especially when it takes 30 seconds to do [00:32] ed1t: hmm.. not offhand. There is a link at OTN describing that of course. It's not so much that there are less features, but for fewer users (maybe 1 concurrent? - I'm really not sure there) [00:32] hmm how do i play VOB files? [00:32] ubottu, but I dont use ubuntu... [00:32] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:33] i got it to work but the applet freezes as soon as i click into it [00:33] oCean_: thx ill check it out [00:33] hvgotcodes: they're just MPEG2 videos [00:33] argh... and the browser froze up too! [00:34] bruce89: ok -- where are the list of codecs? [00:35] hvgotcodes: well, you'll likely need some extra packages [00:35] ubuntu__: can you sum up again in a private chat ? maybe i can help [00:36] what is a better distribuition??? [00:36] Ax3: Alright. I switch CD and HD from Sata 1 and 2 to Sata 3 and 4, still locking up [00:36] I want to learn how to install Sun's JRE without the use of Synaptic. Which one of these two files do I need to install?? jre-6u12-linux-i586.bin or j2re-1_4_2_19-linux-i586.bin ?? [00:36] Rodrigo_Lopes: This is the ubuntu technical support channel.

Otherwise, join an offtopic channel [00:37] ubuntu__: Start a query with a user. [00:37] oCean_, yes.. but, you think is better is slackware, arch, ubuntu, debian [00:38] hrmm... this is ridiculous! [00:38] NOWAII: I just looked at their site and it looks like they have a linux client.. why not try that? [00:38] Rodrigo_Lopes: this is NOT the channel for that discussion [00:38] cappicard: try restarting X [00:38] Rodrigo_Lopes: Besides, the opinions here will likely be quite biased ;) [00:38] Scunizi: Ventrillo Linux client is highly unstable, to the point of unusability, IIRC. [00:38] Scunizi: Linux - In developmen [00:38] Rodrigo_Lopes: no need to shout.. try another distro if not happy [00:38] oCean_: not that any of them are as I found out [00:38] NOWAII: cotk yea.. I just saw that the client isn't much of anything. [00:39] NOWAII, is the microphone detected under regular linux? [00:39] cotk: yes [00:39] ok lest rephrase my question??? [00:39] NOWAII: Are you using OSS or ALSA inside wine? [00:39] bruce89: well, yeah. You can take that up with the ops in #ubuntu-ops of course.. [00:39] what is better,?? slackware or ubuntu??? [00:39] !??? [00:39] Rodrigo_Lopes, depends on your needs and experience. [00:39] oCean_: I did [00:39] NOWAII: cotk I wonder if you could use mumble to connect to the same servers? [00:40] Ax3: Still there?

[00:40] whip: I don't think that is really the best solution... [00:40] jlink, and you tested your memory modules as well..... [00:41] jlink, man.... this is screwy.... [00:41] cotk, ok thanks mate [00:41] hvgotcodes: Totem should prompt for what it needs [00:41] Ax3: Well, Memtest86+ running for 30 minutes at one point, I'd assume they were [00:41] schnauzer: that was supposed to be a joke.. [00:41] jlink, yea it's easy to get impatient, a full memtest can take 4~10 hours [00:41] whip: jokes not allowed in #ubuntu [00:41] Ax3: My video card is getting rather hot though, but my stuff tends to run hot under Linux anyway, but still.. [00:42] whip, I think win and ubuntu, is very close.. dont joke.. I think slackware is a true linux.... [00:42] gentoo > * [00:42] NOWAII: Okay, I am correct in assuming you are using ALSA both for your ubuntu distro and under wine? (You can check this by opening up volume controls and seeing what device it is set too. [00:42] whip, so long newbye [00:42] Rodrigo_Lopes: http://polishlinux.org/choose/comparison/ [00:42] So much work to get my new Phenom X3 system up and going... my fastest computer build ye [00:42] cotk, yeah [00:42] Ax3, yes gento is good :) [00:43] Rodrigo_Lopes: why dont you use sabayon then and stop f**king crying? [00:43] jlink, and you're using an amd64 build? [00:43] whip: That was uncalled for... [00:43] Ax3: I'm running Memtest86+ right now. How long should it run until you consider it to be error free? 4-10 hours, or some number of tests [00:43] hi all [00:43] Ax3: Yes. That's why I'm using an amd64 8.10 iso [00:43] does linux require two primary partitions? [00:43] jlink: it'll run forever if you let it. As long as it gets through one test without errors, you're OK (if you have the time and want to be sure, go twice) [00:43] wildfish: not as such [00:44] whip, I dont crying, im just talking..you punchme, callme winusers...... [00:44] wildfish: usually one / and one swap [00:44] i'd let it get to the random data passes [00:44] about 7~10 passes [00:44] IS ntfs reading and wring dangerous on linux [00:44] '/join #oejlug [00:44] writing strings of ones and zeroes is hardly a good test [00:44] i tried mounting a drive to be read and write and it gave me a big warning]\\ [00:44] aijnknknj: I've never had a problem, I think it's better than it used to be [00:44] Ax3: However, it wouldn't make sense for it not to run the 32bit version, and I'm 100% sure that an error message will come up saying the 64 bit isn't compatable if you try to run it on a non-compatable machine [00:45] Ax3: This is so wierd. [00:45] jlink, it wouldn't give an error, it would work :) [00:45] hi [00:45] Ax3: If the video card was to get so hot that it just stops, does X give an error? [00:45] im on knoppix 4.0 is that old [00:45] jlink, yea it would holler at you, you'd see it [00:45] NOWAII: What does it currently say as your input device under Vent Options? [00:46] jlink, humor me and try one more time to boot from the disc, hit f6 then wait there [00:46] aijnknknj: Perhaps this would be better suited to a knoppix channel? [00:46] aijnknknj: well, it *is* knoppix, and not ubuntu, and this is the ubuntu channel [00:46] cotk, nothing, and i cant choose anything either [00:46] Ax3: Alright [00:46] ok [00:46] why if i've enable all perms on comment content (page and story) in the site as non-registred user doesnt watch the comment? [00:46] jlink, work fast, i need to leave in about 1:30 minutes :) [00:46] Ax3: Alright, the boot options are up [00:46] what are the last 3 words? [00:47] opz [00:47] wrong chan [00:47] Ax3: "initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash --" [00:47] One space after the -- [00:47] jlink, remove quiet and splash --, just so that the end reads initrd=/casper/initrd.gz, if you did this b4, awesome, continue :) [00:47] what is a better game for linux????????????? [00:47] !game | Rodrigo_Lopes [00:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about game [00:47] !games | Rodrigo_Lopes [00:47] Rodrigo_Lopes: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [00:48] NOWAII: What type of mic is this?

[00:49] brandon_: from the console, "tar xf filename" will work [00:49] cotk, http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6750244/c_1/1|cat_12108629|Computers+and+laptops|12108658/Trail/searchtext%3EMICROPHONE.htm [00:49] Alright people, who wants the buck? lol [00:49] so tar xf eggdrop.tar.gz? [00:49] cotk. xD [00:49] brandon_, tar xvfz eggdrop.tar.gz [00:50] brandon_: why would you use a tar.gz file to get Eggdrop? Eggdrop is in the official repositories. [00:50] !info eggdrop | brandon_ [00:50] eggdrop (source: eggdrop): Advanced IRC Robot. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.6.19-1.1ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 391 kB, installed size 1124 kB [00:50] What's the thing that we can paste a whole bunch of text into, then copy and paste the resulting link into the chat? [00:50] !pastebin [00:50] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [00:50] where will be gnome2.26 out for ubuntu ? [00:50] x-ip, its in jaunty [00:51] useruser, can i use is at intrepid ? [00:51] Can anyone help me with a simple bash script? [00:52] NOWAII: Desktop/laptop, and are you plugging into a internal/external soundcard, or the built in ports? [00:52] x-ip, if you are willing to compile it yourself, at your own risk etc. just wait for jaunty release in april [00:52] x-ip: I'd just wait a month, if I were you. [00:52] i cant :S [00:52] i'll upgrade to jaunty jackalope [00:52] cotk. desktop, pluggin it into the pink hole at the back :D [00:53] Hey guys, need a hand setting up a wireless account. Cant seem to figure it out. [00:53] Can a USB device or USB hub cause Ubuntu not to boot? [00:53] x-ip: It's currently alpha software. Just so you know. And further support regarding Jaunty is in #ubuntu+1 [00:53] x-ip: Best of luck [00:53] ok Flannel :) [00:53] thanks :) [00:53] It won't let me scroll up and down on this screen, but it froze when going through the USB devices/busses [00:54] jlink, yes i've seen that happen with an external usb hdd [00:54] usser: Unfortunately, the only devices connected are a USB mouse and USB keyboard. There aren't three devices [00:54] usser: and it seems to be frozen when doing a fourth one [00:54] Hey I'm looking for help with open vmserver and am attempting to install xp as a virtual machine. [00:54] usser: or third. I can't tell which one it's stuck on [00:55] NOWAII: Okay. you are just not making this easy, are you. Hrm. Have you tested the microphone on a linux app, do you have everything but ALSA checked on WINE, and are you running the latest wine? [00:55] jlink, i'm not sure what you mean, can you elaborate. what third/fourth device? [00:55] Is anybody running Ubuntu on an Optiplex 740? [00:55] Maybe I could move my devices around to different ports. Assuming its freezing when scanning each USB bus, maybe it's something plugged into one of them that's causing the problem, and by switching to different ports, I could see that it's freezing while scanning a different bus [00:55] Roasted, i ran it on 745, 755 [00:56] usser - any issues? [00:56] Roasted, on one 755 built in network card was flaky, turns out it was hardware malfunction, other than that it was fine [00:56] usser: I dont know. I see this line three times on the screen" ohci_hcd 0000:00:12.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number #, where # is 1, 2, and 3 [00:56] usser - on the 745, do you happen to remember the BIOS version by any chance? [00:57] cotk, im sorry, im new to linux/ubuntu :( [00:57] Roasted, A9 or something like that [00:57] usser - I'm setting up an image server at work with the couple hundred Optiplex 740's we're goign to beg etting in, but the image software, FOG, isn't recognizing the Optiplex 740... [00:57] cotk, but when i say something i can hear it from the speakers. [00:57] jlink, i dont know. sorry [00:57] :D Yeah. [00:57] usser - I'm trying to figure out if this is an Ubuntu issue, since FOG is based on Ubuntu, or if it's FOG itself not picking it up. Unfortunately I'm home for the weekend and didn't grab the 740 to test it. [00:58] NOWAII: Not a problem, and that is good. Okay. Go to http://www.winehq.org/download/deb and follow those instructions. [00:58] Roasted, i wouldnt know much about fog, we just use ghost here [00:58] Wow, holy crap. [00:59] Anybody else suffering from the new Warcraft 1.23 patch? [00:59] usser - I'm trying to find a quicker way to do things. We have a hard drive cloner, but it only does 5 in 45 minutes. FOG is supposedly capable of 30 in a half hour via multicasting. Since we're getting in about 700 computers, the faster we can crank them out the better off we'll be. [00:59] Alright, I switched things to different usb ports (why would that cause it to freeze?), and now it's freezing on "ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)", and "ata2: same stuff" [00:59] Roasted: have you taken a look at clonezilla ?? [00:59] AnythingJe, Why, what did it do? (Used to play WIII religiously). [00:59] cotk, Yeah I have done thaat before/recently [01:00] erUSUL - Oh yes. It took me 4 months to even get Clonezilla to push an image. And once it did, it messed up the master boot record. It took me 2 hours to get FOG fully functioning nad I've had great success with ALL computers I've imaged, EXCEPT the Optiplex 740 in question. [01:00] got it working finally. had to reboot my system [01:00] cotk: They just patched today... had to get offline version to upgrade, but now it is getting memory errors randomly and crashing. Not fun. [01:00] Roasted: ok [01:00] erUSUL - Have you used Clonezilla Server with any success? [01:01] Roasted: no; just know of its existence :P [01:01] NOWAII: Okay. First: For the hell of it, reboot and try again, keeping the microphone plugged in. Then, switch over to OSS and try it. After that, I'm blank for solutions. Vent should atleast kinda detect something. [01:01] When booting into Ubuntu, it's freezing, stopping at the line "ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)". Any ideas? [01:02] Roasted, use ghost with network clone. what we usually do is push out 10 images with multicast, and then those become masters and we 10 more machines to slaves, next pass around you'll have 20 masters etc... it grows exponentially. you'd clone 700 in probably a day [01:02] I am trying to call a bash script from another bash script, and in the 2nd script I have a command to call "service bind restart", however, it doesn't appear to be executing. Is there any way I can confirm that it is executing since its script1->script2? [01:03] cotk : when i switch to OSS should i untick alsa? [01:03] tilda...so...sexy... [01:03] can anyone help? having trouble with my wi-fi. [01:03] usser - Yeah, FOG has that capability. But oh... it's free ;) See, this is a side project of mine. My boss doesn't know I'm messing with it in my spare time. Once we get the computers in, I want to try it. If it works, I'll ask to do things my way (since they're part of my project) and we'll run with it with FOG and see what happens. [01:03] is there plugin for any player to play m2ts? [01:03] UncleD-, start debugging in the first script with set -x # place this on the second line .. run the script and examine the output to see what bash is doing. [01:04] Yes. Then try with both ticked, for the pure sake of bruteforcing. [01:04] usser - I wont be doing anything over the actual network. I have a 24 port gigabit switch I'll be using. So I'll hook up my laptop, acting as the FOG server, and push the image via multicast through the switch to 23 nodes at a time. Whiel they're imaging, I'll prep another 23, etc etc. [01:04] usser - If things work the way I want them to, I'll have one heck of a great day... and a quick day at that... IF I can get the 740 working... [01:05] Hello peeps [01:05] exit [01:05] Good morning, everyone [01:05] morning. [01:05] I need help with a beta version of Windows 7 [01:06] goodnight ;) [01:06] It's being a pain. [01:06] Diehardy: Windoze sucks [01:06] Diehardy: Wrong room? [01:06] What room do I go? [01:06] It's raining outside [01:06] Diehardy: you run it in a vm on ubuntu ? [01:06] How can I enable USB passthrough in Virtualbox OSE [01:06] Anyone able to help me with using open vmware server? I would like to set up a windows install using it. [01:06] Diehardy: ##windows You were already told that. [01:06] Diehardy: One more about Windows 7 and less about Ubuntu? Assuming you're not talking about VMs in Ubuntu, etc. [01:07] No I dont run it with ubuntu [01:07] Diehardy: Go to ##windows, like Flannel says. [01:07] Diehardy: bye [01:07] those guys are useless === marko-_-- is now known as marko-_- [01:07] Diehardy: Well, that sucks. [01:07] gerzel: what's the problem with vmware-server ? [01:08] Diehardy: If you can't get help for something not related to Ubuntu elsewhere, that doesn't mean you can come ask us. [01:08] cotk: i get this with only OSS ticked and ALSA+OSS ticked. : Failed to open input device. Another program might have it open already. rc = -10 [01:08] Diehardy: you are entitled to get support from microsoft ;) [01:08] JeroenTB: I'm not sure on how to set it up. I've got it installed from synaptic and got the xp disk with me but not really sure what to do next. If you could help me or point me to a good webpage to try and figure things out that would be great [01:09] gerzel: is it vmware-server 2 ? [01:09] gerzel: vmware-server2 is managed by a webinterface [01:09] Can anyone tell me if it is easy to learn or if there is a place in Ubuntu that references or if there is an easy way to learn what I can type into the gstreamer pipeline in SOund Juicer for diiferent encoding options like format bitrate or quality modes etc? Or is it just stuff thats not realy understood its more of command just memorized that you use but not understand etc? [01:09] gerzel: so you need to find out which port it is listening on [01:10] MarkJones: man pages and their respective websites/otherdocumentation would be likely locations [01:10] I've installed openvm-source, openvm-toolbox, and openvm-tools from the 8.10 repositories, not sure if it is 2 or not [01:10] basic install from synaptic. [01:10] are man pages built into my Ubuntu install onmy hard drive? [01:11] gerzel: openvm is not vmware-server [01:11] MarkJones, yes [01:11] gerzel: i can't help you with that, i'm familiar with vmware's free products [01:11] MarkJones: Open a terminal and type "man ---", with --- being the program you want to learn about. [01:11] How can I enable USB passthrough in Virtualbox OSE [01:11] Ah ok, where do I get and install the correct package? [01:11] ok cool [01:12] Ill try that [01:12] MarkJones: /usr/share/man is where all manpages are [01:12] ok [01:12] is it vmware-package? [01:12] gerzel: i don't know if it is availlable in synaptic, let me check... [01:12] I'm having a terrible time getting Ubuntu installed. Anyone have any experience? [01:12] how do i setup a printer [01:12] in hardy [01:12] Or do I have to dl from vm's site? [01:12] plug it in [01:12] uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuubuntu [01:12] jlink: You are in #ubuntu. I assume we do have experience of installing Ubuntu. ;) [01:13] when I dual boot XP and Ubuntu, do I have to 'allow' XP to use hardware from in Ubuntu? [01:13] jlink, [01:13] JeroenTB: Ok, here i am again :) [01:13] Ok sound juicer man page doesnt say anything about the gstreamer pipline and syntax etc. [01:13] whats up, describe your problem [01:13] What manpage would have that? [01:13] ubuntu__: so it worked ? [01:13] great ! [01:13] lol, I was just wanting to know if anyone was actually out there. No one was responding to me [01:13] JeroenTB: hm now sorry [01:13] JeroenTB: *no [01:13] gerzel: go to www.vmware.com and download vmware-server [01:13] cotk: i get this with only OSS ticked and ALSA+OSS ticked. : Failed to open input device. Another program might have it open already. rc = -10 [01:13] jlink, im out here =) [01:13] yeah, I'm wondering if anyone can see what I'm saying? lol [01:13] Jork: No, not if they're both installed to the hard disk (as opposed to being in a VM). [01:14] One moment, I'm confirming something on here [01:14] gerzel: register, don't worry it's free, you get a serial via email [01:14] how do i setup a printer in hardy, anyone? [01:14] NOWAII: Are you changing between OSS and ALSA in your volume control? [01:14] thanks for the reply. well im trying config wi-fi, and it wont work for some reason. Mind helping with a walk thru? [01:15] jimi_hendrix, USB? netowrk? have you tried just plugging it in? [01:15] cotk: no [01:15] Alright, here's what's going on. I'm trying to boot from the install CD without the "quiet splash -- " boot options, so I can see a text output of what's going on [01:15] How can I enable USB passthrough in Virtualbox OSE [01:15] It's freezing at different points in the boot process every time I reboot and try again. [01:15] sprinkmeier, network [01:15] NOWAII: Do it again, this time changing that as wel. [01:16] jimi_hendrix, system->admin->printing and FTBB. if it doesn't work check a HCL. [01:16] kk doing so now [01:16] Jork: Well, are you talking about from /within/ Windows? [01:16] no, I'm in ubuntu. It works from XP [01:16] Jork: Okay. What have you done so far? (Anything?) [01:17] tried getting the SSID, and MAC and such, but no luck [01:17] i have my routers page open too, it's a linksys [01:17] Jork: Have you checked the wireless device? [01:17] Yes, it has power and is working. [01:18] [01:18] i have a server running, is there a free version like lanscape which lets u manage your server from web interface? [01:18] webmin [01:18] How can I enable USB passthrough in Virtualbox OSE [01:19] Crooper: its in apt-get? [01:19] melik or clsmith: I guess it's nothing you can help with? [01:19] i don't think so [01:19] jlink: What are you having a problem with? Booting without those options? [01:19] you can google it though [01:19] gerzel: the vmware binary you download should not be an RPM ! [01:19] gerzel: i'll give you the link [01:20] JeroenTB which version should I use the .tar for linux or the .tar for linux with 64 bit support. I'm running a core2 quad core which claims to be 64 bit, and I think I used the 64bit install disk for ubuntu [01:20] My wireless card (running on a restricted driver) no longer appears in lspci or in the restricted drivers section. any suggestions on how to proceed ? [01:20] sprinkmeier, ok i cant find my printer in the list of drivers [01:20] HP LaserJet CM1312 [01:20] clsmith: Hah, maybe I should reexplain the whole thing. I just built this new AMD64 computer. I downloaded and burnt the AMD64 8.10 Desktop iso. When I try to boot or install from the CD, it freezes during the Ubuntu splash screen. It also freezes when doing these things from my 32bit 8.10 CD, and that CD worked fine when installing it on this laptop. [01:20] jlink, can you private message me [01:21] cotk: ok tried that, still get that message [01:21] im multi tasking like crazy and cant read up [01:21] melik: How do you pm, exactly? [01:21] melik: /msg user message [01:21] *jlink [01:21] (sorry ;) [01:21] gerzel: open a terminal and type uname -a [01:22] I have looked at a lot of tutorials on getting my Bluetooth headset to run but a lot of them say that I need to enable the Audio Device box in bluetooth preferences......... but I don't have it. Anyone know how i can get it? [01:22] How can I enable USB passthrough in Virtualbox OSE [01:22] NOWAII: As stated before, no clue then. [01:22] And how do I switch between the two windows? [01:22] gerzel: paste the output [01:22] My wireless card (running on a restricted driver) no longer appears in lspci or in the restricted drivers section. any suggestions on how to proceed ? [01:22] jimi_hendrix, check the HCL, or try 'generic postscript', or maybe an earier model HP (safer than picking a later model :-) [01:22] nvm. [01:22] Linux neogerz 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:28:32 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux [01:22] jlink, you're saying both the amd64 and the i386 32bit installer cd's freeze on the new computer? has *any* OS install disk worked, have you tried others? [01:22] Ndshacker: I don't think you can. Isn't it a non-OSe feature? [01:22] cotk: Oh damn =[ thanks for trying anyway :P [01:22] gerzel: yep that's 64 bit [01:22] militant: See, I don't have any others. I just built the computer earlier today [01:22] gerzel: you need the 64 bit tar image [01:22] well [01:22] so 64 version, ok dling now [01:22] someone said I could [01:23] sprinkmeier, HCL? [01:23] jlink, that's why i ask, a new machine that locks up on OS installs often comes down to hardware. bad ram, bad video card, poor physical connections, etc [01:23] gerzel: the TAR image not the RPM [01:23] !hcl | jimi_hendrix [01:23] jimi_hendrix: 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 [01:23] yikes 44 minutes... [01:23] AMD64 doesn't require a special Ubuntu install CD, does it? [01:23] !print | jimi_hendrix [01:23] jimi_hendrix: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [01:23] ok, so once I get it fairly strait install? ./configure make etc? [01:23] FrozenFire: i386 cd will work fine but there is also an amd64 cd [01:24] FrozenFire: there are separate 64bit and 32bit images ! [01:24] militant: I'm not exactly sure what it could be though. I've reseated all the cords, swapped the new DVD drive with an older CD drive, and that's about all I can think of doing [01:24] cotk: is there another app like wine to run vent on that might work with my mic? [01:24] militant: and I ran Memtest86+ for one full pass [01:24] My wireless card (running on a restricted driver) no longer appears in lspci or in the restricted drivers section. any suggestions on how to proceed ? [01:24] jlink, are both discs causing lockup at the same rough stage? [01:24] look, birds! http://www.kodiefiles.nl/assets_c/2009/03/kodiefiles.nl20.html [01:24] guest_007, please keep your links on topic and work safe. [01:24] gerzel: not really [01:25] укк [01:25] gerzel: easier maybe ;) [01:25] okay [01:25] sprinkmeier, ok its not in there...so is generic postscript worth a shot or should i go for an earlier version [01:25] maybe? [01:25] militant: correct [01:25] Is there an autoinstaller in there? [01:25] SlimeyPete: Where can I find the AMD64 install DVD ISO? (Should've mentioned DVD before) [01:25] gerzel: after untar there's a shell script you should run as root [01:25] Jeroen: Ah ok. [01:25] FrozenFire: cdimage.ubuntu.com [01:26] FrozenFire: you should just be able to get it from the main website [01:26] jimi_hendrix, I'd try both and see which one gives better results. You can even have both configured simultaneously. [01:26] gerzel: don't know out of my head, been a while, but i remember it was easy to do. [01:26] jlink, it could be that you need to try installer options, like not using the graphical installer or using barebones vesa video settings, and then tweaking after it installs [01:26] how do I uninstall the OSE and install the PUEL [01:26] I'm afraid I'm unable to check where it is atm cos I am on a mobile phone :) [01:26] Hrmm... I don't know whether I want to use the i386 install DVD, or the AMD64 one. AMD64 seems less supported, and I need a disc that I can give to a client. [01:26] JeroenTB: Ok once it is installed then I should just be able to fire it up and figure things out more easilly? [01:27] Ndshacker: use synaptic to remove ose, then download the other one from vbox website [01:27] gerzel: after installation when vmware seems to be running you can access it via http://localhost:8333 but it might be https instead of http [01:27] i have an amd64 machine with a radeon card that the ubuntu installer locks up on. once i install it the text mode way, it's fine [01:27] FrozenFire: Its still fully supported. [01:27] FrozenFire: how much ram is in the system? [01:27] SlimeyPete: Not sure. Haven't booted it yet. Not going to boot it until I have a Live DVD [01:27] militant: i think the problem might be that the radeon driver is not 64bit [01:28] unop: you put the command "set -x" on the second line of the script? [01:28] FrozenFire: if it's got 3 gigs or less then i386 is the safe bet. [01:28] kk so goto that site and it will explain what to do more or less? [01:28] UncleD-, yes, just after the shebang (if you have one) [01:28] Yeah, I'll go with i386. She was mentioning RAM issues with Windows XP [01:28] JeroenTB, that's my thought too. [01:28] spanish please [01:28] !es | alolai [01:28] alolai: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [01:28] gerzel: both the install and the webpage will get you up n running pretty quick [01:28] can someone help me mount a device? [01:29] gracias [01:29] militant: can't help you with that though, i don't run a 64 bit version, might try to force vesa driver [01:29] unop: ok i see what thats doing. thats a great useful command. years of shell scripting and i never knew that one. [01:29] how do I run a .run file in Linux? [01:29] Buttons6, what are you trying to mount? [01:29] FrozenFire: if it's a low-ram system then xubuntu will work better, and fluxbuntu or crunchbang better still [01:29] kk thanks now I'm gonna see about Rocky Horror with someone. Thanks a lot for the help setting me strait [01:29] I am trying to mount a bricked Sansa e250, I used the command "dmesg" and looking though ther - [01:29] JeroenTB, that's what i was suggesting to jlink. i got mine to isntall fine, i was giving it as an example to him of a situation like his :) [01:30] gerzel: gl [01:30] can I PM you croop? [01:30] thanks all, my pritner works! [01:30] Akkernight: in terminal type ./myfile.run [01:30] :) [01:30] militant: lol ok, sry [01:30] yes [01:30] UncleD-, it's specific to bash only (as far as i know) - not to POSIX shell (/bin/sh) [01:31] can anyone help me to see which devices are in use or available on my sound card? [01:31] slimeypete, well, it says "no such file ect" still, the file is on the desktop and that's where the terminal points to at default, right? [01:31] SlimeyPete: This client is fairly computer illiterate, so I'd rather stick to the system I am very familiar with, so I can provide phone support. [01:31] jimi_hendrix: are you really helped or where you ignored ? [01:31] I'm reading a tutorial on getting teampseak (non-ALSA native support) to symlink and force to play nice with others, but I want to see what devices are in use or available to see if I've done it right [01:31] Akkernight: No, it's not. It starts in your home directory (~), Desktop is a folder in your home dir (~/Desktop) [01:31] Akkernight: no. type 'cd Desktop' first [01:32] Im trying to use my bluetooth headset, and I can get it to pair and connect using the headset profile using blueman, but its not creating an alsa device? [01:32] FrozenFire: fair enough :) [01:32] oh sorry, my computer is just called myname-desktop, confused me! [01:32] Akkernight: ah :) [01:32] JeroenTB, really helped :) [01:33] jimi_hendrix: ok, tc ;) [01:34] ok, when I type ./pdsetup.run I get "permission denied" when I type sudo ./pdsetup I get "no such command ect." ... [01:34] hi there. the wubi instalation is good? does it make partitions? [01:34] upon: I think I may have discovered a problem with your theory... [01:34] unop: the script I am executing is being executed by an "expect" call so its inside of an expect {} [01:35] Akkernight: you're missing `.run' [01:35] snooser: it does not make real partitions [01:35] snooser; thats right it's just a file in windows [01:35] chmod +x pdsetup.run [01:35] snooser: it puts Ubuntu inside your Windows NTFS partition [01:35] snooser: then gives you the Windows boot loader and Grub the Linux boot loader. [01:35] prince_jammys, no, sorry I just forgot to type it in IRC :S [01:35] snooser: as a result I would only recommend wubi for trying Ubuntu if at all [01:35] UncleD-, ohh .. might want to ask the #tcl guys about that then. [01:35] Akkernight: ah, then try chmod as recommended above [01:36] sebsebseb i want to use ubuntu in my laptop. that instalation is good or just for tying? [01:36] unop: http://pastie.org/422565 [01:36] "chmod: cannot access `./pdsetup.run': No such file or directory" I'm in Desktop, where the file is placed [01:36] can anyone help me to analyze which devices on a sound card are in use or are currently available for use? [01:36] snooser: well could do wubi, or just try the live cd, or do Ubuntu inside Windows to try [01:37] just, chmod +x pdsetup.run, without ./ [01:37] Hi, how i can configure a bluetooh pin device? [01:37] sebsebseb i dont want to try, i want to use it. [01:37] snooser: ok [01:37] thks [01:37] snooser: pm me [01:37] makes no difference whether ./ is there or not. verify that you are indeed in the directory where the file is [01:38] I need help trouble shooting my touch pad on my aspire 5570z with ubuntu 8.10. It will kinda work but its like the cursor gets stuck and will stop moving. Everything else will respond though. So I'm really confused. It just started doing this. [01:38] ok, chmod worked, how do I run the file now? 'cause now it's saying it doesn't exist at ./pdsetup.run [01:38] snooser; go with wubi, then you won't have to worry bout partitions. if you can install a program on windows then you can install linux on wubi [01:38] !xorg [01:38] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [01:38] no [01:38] woops, name error xP [01:39] !mouse [01:39] Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [01:39] hi there [01:39] mel: I thought one of those bot tiggers could help you, but I guess not [01:39] Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C [01:39] Gdk-WARNING **: can not set locale modifiers [01:39] this means it failed? [01:39] Java_Head: thanks. i know how to install linux, but my question is: there is no problem at all in using wubi? [01:39] Hello can i ask a question? [01:40] jtrouter: Yep [01:40] !ask [01:40] 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. :-) [01:40] sebsebseb: yea.. those don't seem to be part of my problem. it also works randomly for random amounts of time then goes back to being stuck. [01:40] not at all, by the end of the install you will have a full linux installation [01:40] Akkernight: well, now it's an entirely different issue having to do with the prog. you can now execute it [01:40] I want to install the 64 bit version, when i go to download it it say AMD64 i have intel? do i still use it? [01:41] jtrouter: if your processor is 64-bit, you can use it [01:41] jtrouter: Yep. "AMD64" is a generic name for 64bit, just like "i386" is the generic name for 32bit (not intel specific) [01:41] so I have intel and amd64 version is ok? [01:41] ok very well, thank you [01:42] Im trying to install vmware server in ubuntu and Im having a hard time installing this rpm file. Is there a way to install rpm files easy with ubuntu? [01:42] QUESTION for a OP. when is ubuntu gonna have ipod touch/ iphone support? [01:42] grenn: it's preferable not to, but it can be done with `alien' [01:43] !alien | grenn [01:43] grenn: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [01:43] Hey, anyone tryed this "presto instant-on" ??? (the thin linux client that boots in 15sec) whats your view on it [01:43] bah, didn't add anything new [01:43] unko, gtkpod not do it for you? [01:43] so there is really know way to use vmware then? [01:43] Unko: (im not an OP), but i'm sure the answer would be when Apple allows anything other than iTunes to function the iphones database [01:43] unop never tried it [01:43] Does anyone know if 8.10 has any read/write power management issues with laptop hard drives? [01:43] Hrmm. so no one has had an issue with the cursor just randomly not working? [01:43] musikgoat|main, i hate apple!

[01:50] is that the closed source? [01:51] Ndshacker: virtualbox is closed source, virtualbox-ose is open source, the graphical manager i'm sure is open, but i don't know for sure [01:51] um.. [01:51] it cant find it [01:52] go to system -> admin -> software sources [01:52] Ndshacker: ^^ [01:52] Does anyone know how to sync Evolution with Google Calendar in a way that allows me to edit it and not just read it?

[02:23] bobbob: its not there [02:24] it wont exit [02:24] gerzel: gcc is installed then. I'd install the kernel headers, since I know vmware will need to compile a kernel module... [02:24] Trust me, you'll know if it breaks. :P [02:24] It's a lot of... erm... fun, the first time around. [02:24] gmazzola: thanks [02:24] Ndshacker, Not sure then. [02:24] justin__: does it say why? [02:24] My computer is beeping at me beep beep [02:24] ... or how can i print directly from CLI? [02:24] Jork, without that info no real way to help [02:25] am i literally looking for chipset or? [02:25] Can someone take a quick look at my bash/shell script and comment on what i'm doing wrong. http://pastie.org/422589 [02:25] Jork, you can also check in hardware drivers and see if there are any available for that nic [02:25] I'm trying to get it to echo "unknown" if the response from ping contains the words "unknown host" [02:25] It says file name to write it is highlighted in black and has a menu under it and it beep when ctr-x [02:26] hi i'm trying to get sound to work properly on ubuntu [02:26] is there a way to disable portaudio?

[02:26] hm [02:26] justin__: sorry, hit enter [02:26] couldnt get anything really to show up on hardware drivers [02:26] Jork, you want to find something like broadcom, atheros, ralink and the word network next to it, but there will be two as that includes the ethernet (at least two) [02:26] I have custom icons and background [02:26] and theme [02:26] What package do I check to see if the linux kernel headers are installed? [02:26] and cursor, but like [02:26] justin__: its asking if you want to save it under that name or another... [02:27] UncleD-: uhm, as far as i know, that "case" statement causes it to only output unknown if the output of "ping" is *exactly* "unknown". and it's redundant with the "if" statement - just use "if" [02:27] can someone tell me what the command is to open the network manager from the terminal? It isn't in the menu anywhere. [02:27] network controller is boradcom corp wlan. [02:27] mus: comp says "Save File Under DIfferent file name" Y OR N [02:27] Jork, which exact number [02:27] justin__: then [02:27] no [02:27] BCM4311? [02:27] Do I name it? [02:27] lol......linux is crazy [02:28] justin__: sources.list [02:28] or 0c:00.0? [02:28] thank god, I finally got Virtualbox running :| [02:28] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx Jork look at this link please [02:28] Save it under different name - YES or No [02:29] justin__: something is wrong, say no, ctrl+c to cancel [02:29] justin__: then ctrl+x and say no to saving the file [02:29] OK back to terminal [02:29] justin__: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [02:29] i think it's easyer to use gedit instead of nano [02:29] i dont see a support file for 8.10? [02:30] 55 lines [02:30] gusfm: easier to some extent, also unsafer because you must run it as root [02:30] Read [02:30] justin__: go back to the bottom line, cut it [02:30] (ctrl+k) [02:30] Jork, should work under ibex as well [02:31] justin__: then ctrl+x, yes, [02:31] I'm a bit lost, sorry dude. [02:31] justin__: yes really is just y [02:31] do you know what I did? [02:31] i need help with a bluetooth device [02:31] please [02:31] Jork, then maybe following some links at the ubuntuforums would be more helpful under the wireless sub-section there are many threads to help [02:32] justin__: what did you do? === ywq__ is now known as ywq [02:32] should I go back to see if the line is cut [02:32] jork: i have the same wireless card as you. I installed the one in restricted drivers and worked perfectly. [02:32] justin__: after you've saved it, go back to "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" and make sure that [02:32] should i go back to see if line is cut [02:32] the file is missing that last line [02:32] well one guy helped me, and he said he has no idea whats wrong, and that was the end, but we went thru a lot of stuff. [02:32] sudo nano [02:33] justin__: nano is an editor, you can just look at the file with cat, so cat /etc/apt/sources.list [02:33] Jork, well you are not giving very precise details, so it is hard to help you. a lot of stuff could mean anything really. [02:33] I went back in the editor and it cut it this time [02:33] yeah [02:33] justin__: cool, now sudo apt-get update [02:34] It just loaded some stuff [02:34] is DELL BH200 [02:34] how do I install the driver? just like XP pretty much? [02:34] what do I do now [02:35] Can anyone help me with a VirtualBox issue? [02:35] justin__: now add/remove and synaptic should work [02:35] justin__: try installing what you intended [02:35] jork: did you tried the restricted drivers manage? System > Administration > Hardware drivers [02:35] hello, i'm on x and when ever i try to run emacs it runs on gui mode . how can i run it on text mode [02:35] yeah, i just get 'wl' [02:36] does anyone else here have problems with qdvdautho crashing when you try to import video? === henrym is now known as henrym_ [02:36] qdvdauthor* [02:36] Yeah IT worked ..woot woot! Now how I install the newest version of FF I got the tar on my desktop [02:36] Hey guys, in an ubuntu wiki describing how to record with pulseaudio it says that in Applications > Sound & Video there should be something called PulseAudio Volume Control. [02:36] I don't see that ^ === henrym_ is now known as henrym [02:36] Where do you find that or why isn't it there? [02:36] hi can alsa, oss, and pulseaudio all be running at the same time? [02:36] THere is no button i can click to install FF [02:36] phpwn: well alsa certainly should be running at the same time as pulseaudio. [02:37] justin__: i would suggest not intalling the tar, rather let me find you the instructions about installing it from ppa [02:37] phpwn: technically, yes. [02:37] pulseaudio depends upon interacting with alsa. [02:37] Is there any reason that the Create USB Installer fails every single time I use it? [02:37] I've tried 3 computers, and 2 USB Drives. [02:37] Wow i did not know under add/remove there is a bunch of progs to install [02:37] Netham46: bad usb stick?? [02:37] i see [02:37] !info pavucontrol [02:37] pavucontrol (source: pavucontrol): PulseAudio Volume Control. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.6+svn20080426-1ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 49 kB, installed size 248 kB [02:37] how do you do that comp wizz thing [02:38] so how to get my sound to work in ubuntu? [02:38] Jeruvy: The stick worked perfectly for me in Windows, and I've also tried another. [02:38] Netham46: I have 6 of the same usb drives, and only one will actually boot ubuntu [02:38] Am I the only one that gets a BEEP BEEP if I backspace to much [02:38] Jeruvy: still, that [02:38] er [02:38] that's no excuse for the creator to crash [02:39] justin__: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/03/install-firefox-31-beta-3pre-in-ubuntu.html [02:39] Netham46: i agree, but it's a possibility. However you may have better luck than I [02:39] no sound comes out of either of my sound cards :/ [02:39] justin__: you can disable that beep. Just go to system > Preferences > sound [02:39] BTW thanks alot musik.... Although now linux scares me I tinker to much and conisder how many time I have to reinstall windows I am afraid I am going to wreck it again. [02:40] justin__: that should be more reason to tinker with linux vs. windows. Linux isn't as intolerant. [02:40] Oh never mind, I see that the Ubuntu devs did not install pavucontrol (Why are the Ubuntu Devs (who I usually trust implicitly)) consistently doing things contrary to the way that the PulseAudio devs recommend, even while there is now a long history of pulseaudio being broken in Ubuntu (and not in other distros) ? [02:40] justin__: its a learning experience [02:41] Damnit, I forgot that this is why I don't use Linux... [02:41] I think I am going to take a linux class for college next semester [02:41] or should i take unix? [02:41] justin__: either, both will teach you alot, and you can learn how to use either from which ever class [02:41] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html justin__ check this book before you decide [02:42] justin__: I'd just grab some o'reilly books and learn as you go. Bazhang has a great link. [02:42] I want to be a web developer .. don't web servers use unix not linux or am I wrong? [02:42] I got some hehe [02:42] justin__: most servers today are run by Linux [02:42] justin__: web servers use whatever the admin installs [02:42] I am bogged down with this javascript class I have [02:42] why does it flicker when i try to watch movie when effects are enabled but not when it is not [02:43] justin__: ubuntu server is a great webserver for instance :-) [02:43] BTW Does anyone know a good IDE for Ubuntu? [02:43] justin__: I personally avoid Linux like a plague for my web servers, they're all IIS. I moved from Linux a couple years ago, and I've had no issues since. :) === marsha is now known as mdg [02:43] justin__: you poor dude...like I said learn as you go, no secrets in ubuntu :) === Knives is now known as Guest69267 [02:43] Netham46: imo, IIS isn't as stable or as secure as apache [02:43] What version of Gnome-Do are you using with 8.10? [02:43] Linux is better in every way for serving.. it's ridiculous the number of benefits.. I don't even need a GUI to serve anymore [02:43] Netham46: thats funny, IIS caused our company loads of problems, and we dropped it like a bad habit [02:44] Netham46: well you must work for the mr. softy co. [02:44] sheep: Apache had errors, constantly quit, siting a signal for a resized terminal as the issue. Wasn't even in a terminal. [02:44] I installed the package kubuntu-desktop a while back to check out kde out of curiosity. After fiddling around with it, I went to uninstall as detailed here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome . I was idly watching the terminal when I see "removing virtualbox 2.4" or some such. I immediately x-ed out of the terminal. My virtual box is running right now but when I try to open up the... [02:44] ...settings program it says that "there was an error launching the application". I looked through the list of packages that I removed and none of them are virtual box! What do I do? [02:44] Any text editors I can use for javascript? [02:44] Sarai: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:44] what is the command to open the network manager from a terminal? [02:44] Does netbeans work in linux? [02:44] Netham46: I have never had that happen to me when apache [02:44] Netham46: +was configured right [02:44] justin__: whatever you prefer really. I use a IDE myself. [02:44] sheep: Well, I had it happen on 3 boxes, and I had numerous people look at it and tell me they were configured right. [02:45] sheep: and #apache has wonderful support compared to iis :) [02:45] But, I gotta reboot, because the USB install somehow managed to corrupt the MBR on my USB Stick, and now I can't get it fixed without rebooting. [02:45] i've tried updating the driver, seems to be no luck [02:45] Check ##windows-server for IIS support, they're really helpful there. [02:45] *reboots* [02:45] Netham- if you want linux on a stick, why not try Puppy? [02:46] ugh... windows people... [02:46] Mobius2: puppy linux? [02:46] phasegen: nm-connection-editor [02:46] yeah that was the most painless usb install I've had (except maybe DSL) [02:46] Mobius2: gtk [02:47] of course I did cheat a little, using loadlin so I could do a DOS/Linux multiboot USB stick, but it works great [02:47] !ot [02:47] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:47] sorry [02:47] What IDE do you use.. I downloaded Netbeans, and I opened a project it had a jscript file in it I deleted it, and used it and it was the best every it had auto complete and made thing fast (while I had win32) [02:47] justin__: eclipse is a very good ide, but i'm not sure for javascript (probly is) [02:48] anyone with touch panels expirense??? I got one, it works, but I cant calibrate and I don't know what driver is using.. [02:48] i have a question about ext4 and jaunty [02:48] justin__: I use komodo [02:48] I tried that it did not work good for javascript notepade++ was just as good [02:48] dercomputer: #ubuntu+1 [02:48] dercomputer: for jaunty support [02:48] thanks musikgoat [02:48] How do I get komo [02:49] justin__: i'd use crimson editor if I had to suffer thru windows, but I'm ot again...sorry. [02:49] justin__: notepad++ was great when i was in windows, i wish there was a clone for ubuntu [02:49] hey musikgoat|main [02:49] justin__, please read the wiki, many of these questions are handled there [02:49] What do you think of Gnome-Do? [02:49] dercomputer: yes? [02:49] do you happen to know if 8.10 has any read/write power management issues with laptop hard drives? [02:50] http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid justin__ [02:50] because i lost one recently [02:50] !rute > justin__ [02:50] justin__, please see my private message [02:50] i know it was supposedly an issue with gutsy [02:50] or older versions anyway [02:50] I'm sorry, I don't mean to be impatient here, I know that's frowned upon. But I'm freaking out, all my music is stored in that virtualbox [02:50] I would just go to windows and search * IDE JAVASCRIPT + LINUX * but I don't know how to install programs [02:50] dercomputer: i thought that issue was resolved, where it would needlessly write to the disk [02:50] dercomputer: I could not say did you check with ubuntu bugs? [02:50] For some reason, when I boot gnome-panel takes 100% cpu and does for a while, any ideas? [02:50] yeah [02:50] no i haven't [02:51] i was curious about ext4 and that maybe solving it [02:51] How do I get rid of the icon descriptions, I cant read anything its all cluttered? [02:51] but i'll go to that channel and ask as you suggested [02:51] thanks [02:51] Has anybody used FOG with Ubuntu? [02:51] Sorry, in cairo dock [02:51] !info FOG [02:51] Package FOG does not exist in intrepid [02:51] Sarai: What happened to your virtual box? [02:52] FOG isn't a package... [02:52] nevermind, im going to uninstall cairo dock, not really liking it [02:52] FOG is an open source cloning solution, like Ghost, but free, that's build on top of Fedora or Ubuntu. [02:52] I explained it above, want me to past my old post? [02:52] Sarai: if its one line, ye [02:52] justin__: you can install ubuntu applications from add/remove [02:52] Droopsta915, have you tried AWN? [02:52] musikgoat|main: it's not, it's long [02:52] Sarai: sure not too often :) [02:52] Sarai: I just got here a minute ago - I will see if I can see it [02:53] Sarai: maybe its better to pastebin it [02:53] How come when I tried to install firefox i broke add remove [02:53] dercomputer [02:53] yeah [02:53] dercomputer: no is it any better [02:53] musikgoat|main: will do [02:53] you don't have to use the terminal to instsal programs? [02:53] justin__: because you added a line to sources.list that was incorrect [02:53] hai.............. [02:53] !synaptic | justin__ [02:53] justin__: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [02:53] i usually had problems with it being weird with my drivers [02:53] it wouldn't hurt to give it a try [02:54] thanks [02:54] hey speaking of Synaptic, why does Ubuntu come with two package managers? [02:54] Sarai: I saw it - wow [02:54] how did I do that (so I wont do it again) [02:54] np [02:54] Mobius2: more the merrier [02:54] Mobius2: which would be? [02:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/134590/ [02:54] justin__: i'm not sure how you did it === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:54] bleh knln gak? [02:55] is anyone here able to print duplex from acroread? [02:55] Sarai: do you use vboxgtk? [02:55] justin__: you should avoid editing system files if you dont know what you are doing. [02:56] Sarai: I don't have a lot of experience with virtualbox. I think you should be able to find a log of what was installed or uninstalled - just don't know where - I'm newer to linux [02:56] Ok guys I am going to google komodo and try to find it so i can do my javascript homework [02:56] anyone have a preferred gallery generator? :D [02:56] musikgoat|main: I think so, when I installed it I was using gnome only [02:56] you mean i shouldnt use the terminal if i dont know [02:56] justin__: just try to remember that installing via synaptic or apt-get is better than trying to install tars [02:56] Alright, trying again. Aspire 5570z with 8.10. The touch pad is acting like a stalled application. Like some of the mouse events are getting procesed and others not. I just want to figure out how to trouble shoot this. Or if possible to see what packages have changed over the last week so I can maybe see something thats causing it. [02:56] get-apt [02:57] LjL: What am I doing wrong here: http://pastie.org/422610 [02:57] justin__, you shouldn't use the terminal as root and do unknown things without ability to revert. but, learning to use the cli itself is pretty important [02:57] i dont know what synaptic is [02:57] Sarai: go to terminal and type vboxgtk, see if there is any output [02:57] Sarai: if its more than a line, pastebin it [02:57] !synaptic > justin__ [02:57] justin__, please see my private message [02:57] melx, is it only registering some of your touches/movements, and still getting all of your clicks? [02:58] !apt-get > justin__ [02:58] kk [02:58] musikgoat|main: says it's not installed [02:58] !synaptic [02:58] synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [02:58] UncleD-: if [ $PING_RESULT "unknown" ]; is wrong. "ping" doesn't output "unknown", it outputs something more like "ping: unknown host" or somesuch. also, there's an -eq missing there [02:58] what does that do [02:58] where do i type it [02:58] Sarai: what do you normally use to get to your settings? [02:58] justin__, please read the links. [02:58] justin__: its equivilent to apt-get [02:58] musikgoat|main: my virtualbox settings? I just run the program [02:58] justin__: not the same... but similar. [02:59] I would read a book but i need to do my homework my bad [02:59] Sarai: i think it might be best to ask for help in #vbox [02:59] musikgoat|main: okay, i will do that [02:59] i just need a editor [02:59] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto justin__ this too [02:59] justin__: don't let us distract you, stick to nano or gedit. [02:59] justin__: gedit :-) === away_da is now known as devilsadvocate [02:59] gedit [02:59] justin__ try gedit. Its a great editor === karate is now known as claudya [02:59] where do i find it\ [02:59] that is what i want [03:00] applications -> text editor [03:00] sorry, accessories [03:00] sweet [03:00] halooooooooooo [03:00] hello claudya !

Where would be the best place to put it in the file system, and link to my shortcut bar? [03:02] melx: might be a mouse resolution issue then. or having the pad set as the wrong type. one of these fine folks can point you where to check those, things have changed since i last worried about them [03:02] who you name? [03:02] austin_: put it in ~/bin === extor is now known as SmutLord [03:02] Could someone here help me out about connecting to an irc server not on the list? [03:02] anynone can help me with DELL BH200 buetooh headeset conection? [03:02] Is it possible to change your username ?

[03:04] i need a shell which disables shell-login but the possibilit to use sftp and passwd. is there any way for this? [03:04] melx, /etc/X11/xorg.conf has the mouse entry. not sure what you'll need to do with it, but that's where it's at [03:05] austin_: placing the binary (executable) in that directory allows you to call it from anywhere [03:05] militant_: I've been trying all day to find out why and i've asked like 5 times here at separate times and it felt like no one understood what I was talking about. [03:05] militant_: yea mine doesn't [03:05] austin_: don't put the folder in there, just the files in the folder [03:05] floatboat: foxitreader also use apt-cache search pdf reader [03:05] am not language english [03:05] melx: it should see if there is a xorg.conf.bak in that dir [03:05] claudya, what lang?

[03:06] Jeruvy: I've checked all the xorg.conf.* files they all look the same [03:06] austin_: the bin folder should hold only binaries... but if you have a ton of roms, then you may want to just leave them where they are... [03:06] please trll me [03:07] musikgoat|Main, Its got .conf files, an icon, some documentation, plugins folder, lang. folder, and a save folder [03:07] melx: try defaulting it with the command in the xorg.conf file I don't know it off my brain.

How can I install that? [03:07] austin_: then just place it in your home folder [03:07] how to convert a video in ubuntu [03:07] Jeruvy: umm. I'm not an xorg.conf expert ... :( could you be more specific so I can at least google it? [03:08] claudya, they will probably be more able to help you...

[03:08] claudya, /join #ubuntu-id [03:08] musikgoat|Main, roms in the home folder, and the Emu files in the /bin?

[03:09] bazhang, as in, none at all in your knowledge of the creation of applications for ubuntu? ;/ [03:09] Jeruvy: yea I rand that command earlier when someone said check the xorg.conf file.

[03:34] Hi - Trying to use Gparted to add another partition to make overall space on hard drive bigger - not sure how to use Gparted ? ?

[03:37] Mobius2, That is why I'm asking why. === negonicrac is now known as Guest40701 [03:38] well I've had enough arguing with this laptop for tonight. I'll return tomorrow to start round 2 [03:38] Mobius2; Mind if I give you an Imaginbin link so you can see what I need to do? [03:38] Hi, Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial or guide to collaborative programming work on Linux? I'm thinking of things like best practices for setting permissions, where to store code (under /home or somewhere else?), and so on. [03:39] floatboat: try 'sudo /bin/dbus-uuidgen --ensure' [03:39] Some background: I am doing some programming work with two colleagues, and we are experimenting with working on an Ubuntu server via SSH. Right now our setup is very rudimentary -- we are all using the same username and password, and just store our individual projects in different subdirectories of $HOME. (I know this isn't a good setup.) [03:39] swayed- sure [03:40] Mobius2; Here it is - http://imagebin.org/42167 [03:40] RexE: learn about version control software, such as CVS, Subversion, or Git - those are some good examples [03:40] RexE: use a SCM like git or subversion? [03:40] how can I locate a package in backports? I see no way of searching https://launchpad.net/intrepid-backports [03:40] Hello. I don't know my user password. How can I delete it? Doesn't ubuntu not have a root user, so how do I login? [03:40] foo_ recovery mode? [03:41] ok I boot into recovery and type passwd username? [03:41] Mobius2; Basically my old 320GB was getting full and I used Ghost and did a sector to sector clone and would like to add the 169GB's to ext2 partition somehow. [03:41] ok. anyone use libapache-gallery-perl ? [03:42] That's a good answer thanks but I don't wanna make a mistake and have to reboot again. So I would enter passwd -d username to delete the password? [03:42] @crdlb, @cvw: Thanks. I am setting up Bazaar. (However, we haven't been touching each other's code much, so managing versions isn't a huge deal.) I'm wondering more about things like what directory I should store my code and so on. [03:42] foo I'm not sure [03:42] I was just trying to point you in the right direction [03:43] That's awesome thank you. [03:43] Sup guys Im Back [03:43] whats an ideal swap space size? the more the better or what? [03:43] RexE: you should store code on your own computers and commit/push to the central repository [03:43] Hello [03:44] I figured how to get too synaptic ...I found a text editor but it said it was KDE, isn't that different than GNOME? [03:44] Can you install kde on gnome [03:44] I don't think so [03:45] crdlb: what is the convention for creating central source repository directories? Would it be under /home/ or somewhere else? [03:45] hm. I wonder why they show it, Im looking for a program to make javascript docs and they only editor i found was called Kate and it gnome [03:45] i mean kde [03:45] Have you checked soureforge? [03:45] Has anyone used kate? [03:45] there has to be one gnome there [03:45] justin__: you can install kate and use it with gnome [03:45] Is VIM a text editor for html / javascript [03:46] hello [03:46] Hello Doogie479 :) [03:46] Is Kate better than texteditor that is installed on ubuntu already\ [03:46] musikgoat|main: Looks like I managed to fix my virtualbox! Thank you so much for your patience! [03:46] i got virtual box on windows [03:46] Sarai: good, i'm glad [03:47] justin__: kate is a good editor, but its kind of buggy in gnome, at least when i gave it a shot a year ago [03:47] I messed up my windows on my other comp. I managed to click on something that changed my boot manager to VISTA and I have XP [03:47] Gedit is a good text editor [03:47] The only thing i noticed about kate is you have to install like 20 other files with it. [03:47] RexE: yes, I believe server admins usually create a new user and store the repos in that user's home dir [03:48] but I've never done that === sabalord is now known as edo32mb [03:48] hi, alsamixer is only showing 1 master channel even though i want surround sound,, what can i do to enable surround? [03:49] I installed VIM for firefox before it was kind of cool i heard you can use vim for CODING .. I wonder how that works when you use it in the terminal? [03:49] justin__: yes, those are the kde libraries, they are quite small, but they are required [03:49] Hi, im installing ubuntu using wubi.exe off the CD [03:49] justin__: vim has a steep learning curve [03:49] after it did its stuff, it told me to remove the Cd and reboot === edo32mb is now known as sabalord [03:49] jackinbackblack: wubi is a great program [03:49] I did and I booted into windows, the installation didnt continue [03:50] It was cool for firefox I learned enough where I didnt have to use my mouse [03:50] it was a plugin and it set on the bottom [03:50] I believe you're supposed to boot into ubuntu [03:50] justin__: nice [03:50] was i supposed to do something before it booted into windows? [03:50] ah. [03:50] jackinbackblack: you're supposed to select "Ubuntu", i think. [03:50] so should i start wubi again? [03:50] or just reboot? [03:50] no, just reboot and select ubuntu in the bootloader [03:50] alright [03:50] thanks [03:50] be right back [03:50] good luck [03:50] jackinbackblack: just reboot and select Ubuntu [03:50] i'm too slow, apparently...

[03:53] need to set up a gallery generator. forget what i used to use, i could dump fresh pics in the specified folder and walk away, it would generate thumbs and the gallery page for me [03:53] *lot of [03:53] NO.

I accidentally wrote over the partition table of my hard disk... it had the default ubuntu layout.. and it is encrypted filesystem... is there ANY way I can recreate it?? [03:54] how can I get back into it? [03:54] sure... grub is a bootloader, not an OS [03:55] justin__: yes Grub can be used to just boot WIndows, but why would you only want to boot Windows? [03:55] might as well just install linux, so you don't have to configure grub by hand [03:55] i am locked out of windows all my homework is on it [03:55] ;) [03:55] doleyb, checking it [03:55] justin__: ok you got the Ubuntu Live CD?

Windows installed first, and then you put Ubuntu on, and it does Grub properly [04:01] ok [04:02] justin__: be careful don't delete your Windows partition [04:02] LHvB7_Vo8eS: it should put the settings back to something low, but workable [04:02] how do I boot into recovery mode? [04:02] If you install vista unto of linux and xp it whipe it out right [04:02] anyone here know what kind of virus would create about 100 directories that don't exist?

It appears to be a bug in their code [04:05] brandon_, install firestarter [04:05] hi everyone, I installed Archlinux and ubuntu, and windows was already installed. Windows in in a primary part, and the rest of the partitions are in one extended partition. I can't get archlinux to boot. How do I reconfigure? [04:05] mleger: what kind of wireless? 802.11b/g/a? [04:05] justin__: ok well Linux has great proggramming tools, so probably something way better than netbeans here [04:05] if you're going INTO IT, you really need to get onboard the linux train... I mean, where are you gonna be in 5 years, once windows 7 tanks, and we're ALL using linux? might as well start learning now [04:05] gmazzola: I think 802.11b but how can I check for sure?

[04:07] sheep, k it wouldn't be because I'm missing a library? [04:07] :( snd thats on 3 comps [04:07] justin__: yeah same here, I don't really game [04:07] Could someone please tell me what the application Wine does? [04:07] non can use ut right [04:07] !wine [04:07] use [04:07] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help [04:07] Oh thanks [04:07] well, first Wine Is Not an Emulator! lol [04:07] Chaorain: if that were the case, you would likely get an error about a missing header [04:07] Thats what I thought it was [04:07] xD [04:07] justin__: ok you can run that stuff in wine :) and pretty well, not sure about netbeans [04:08] zenlunatic: what do you sugest i do [04:08] sheep, thanks for the help [04:08] no, that's what the initials actually stand for, I think... it basically lets you run programs and even 3d games designed for windows [04:08] actually my other computer i built for mythubuntu ... I actually built a HTPC meant for linux before I even tired it.. but ended up installing windows, because im not good at it yet [04:08] justin__: get Ubuntu on there, try your Windows apps in Wine, no luck there well there are commercial versions, but probably won't run that much better there. [04:08] brandon_, can you open pages in firefox? are you ircing from the box now? [04:08] When I boot into ubuntu.. it says "Using drive 0, partition 3" is there _any_ way to fix that? [04:08] justin__: so for a problem app you can run Windows inside Ubuntu in a virtual machine. which will be fine for everything except 3D games basicalley [04:08] i can internet works fine [04:08] what is wine is it like VMware\ [04:08] sebastien, ? :) [04:08] and i am on chatzilla [04:08] brandon_, so sudo apt-get install firestarter [04:09] justin__: no there is Wine and virtual machines [04:09] can you install Mac apps too? [04:09] justin__: you can't do Mac apps :( [04:09] Is it normal for for the ubuntu install of grub to not find Archlinux? [04:09] it seems odd [04:09] that succccks [04:09] i alredy did [04:09] brandon_, if you get that installed it has a GUI easy to set up sharing [04:09] justin__: however there is Hackintosh :D [04:09] justin__: wine is an implementation of the windows API/ABI on linux, nor mac [04:09] isn't mac like unix based? [04:09] Justin wine is a application used to make windows applications runnable in Ubuntu [04:09] *not [04:09] justin__: yeah Mac OS X is based on FreeBSD or so they say, well yeah it's Unix under the hood [04:09] where do I find this wine [04:09] I was messing with usplash screen and all I see now is grub for a sec and then a bunch of text and then the gdm. How would I get the usplash back? [04:10] justin__: wait [04:10] L3dPlatedLinux, probably edit your kernel entry in menu.lst [04:10] justin__: listen 2/3 options for running your Windows apps [04:10] Soo..what torrent program do you guys use? [04:10] When I boot into ubuntu.. it says "Using drive 0, partition 3" is there _any_ way to fix that? sebsebseb [04:10] now somebody told me that VirtualBox 3 did support direct control of the video card... but I always questioned how well that would work [04:10] justin__: 1. Wine 2. commercial versions of wine 3. a virtual machine program such as for example Virtualbox [04:10] I DID ALL THAT, AND IT SAID ETH0 IS NOT READY [04:10] epaphus: I don't know [04:11] srry caps:P === N is now known as Guest23792 [04:11] justin- just "sudo apt-get install wine" [04:11] anybody ever seen that? [04:11] you have multiple NICs brandon_ [04:11] keep it down, brandon_ - I'm trying to sleep [04:11] ;P [04:11] justin__: Wine or the programs based on it, make Wines apps run like Linux apps in Ubuntu. and then a virtual machine is for running a real Windows install [04:11] NIC? [04:11] When I boot into ubuntu.. it says "Using drive 0, partition 3" No OS found .... is there _any_ way to fix that? sebsebseb [04:11] epaphus: I said I don't know [04:11] brandon- NIC = ethernet card [04:11] brandon_, multiple network interfaces? [04:11] sorry [04:12] I saw a awesome video on youtube where someone was was running xp and ubuntu at the same time all tricked out..it wasn't virtualized either it looked like the real thing [04:12] epaphus: oh actsaully sounds like a Grub error [04:12] justin__: well you can run real Windows installs in Ubuntu as well [04:12] I hope Utorrent work on linux : - ) [04:12] sebastien, well... maybe I didnt overwrite those partitions.. I honestly was makin g a process in the machine it should have overwritten ANOTHER hard disk not this one [04:12] who wants to do that? [04:12] justin- uTorrent isn't for linux yet [04:12] justin__: Utorrent works nicely in Wine, but you don't need that, Ktorrent :) [04:13] ? i have a wifi router, that is connecting to one computer which i want to share the internet over ethernet to onther [04:13] I want ktorrent [04:13] ah thanks seb, I was getting sick of this Transmission that came with ubuntu [04:13] Mobius2: indeed it's a bit crappy. by the way which version of Ubuntu are you on? [04:13] Mobius2: you want KDE4 version of Ktorrent [04:13] brandon- you need to bridge your ethernet connections [04:13] sebsebseb, , well... maybe I didnt overwrite those partitions.. I honestly was makin g a process in the machine it should have overwritten ANOTHER hard disk not this one [04:13] brandon_, is this all dhcp? [04:14] I'm on 8, regular, I'm about to go check out Kubuntu though, I don't really care for Gnome that much [04:14] Excuse me guys, I set my graphics options for windows and such from medium to high [04:14] sebsebseb, does the ubuntu cd offer a fix if it where the grub loader? [04:14] yes I believe so [04:14] What are the exact changes [04:14] Mobius2: oh your on 8.04? [04:14] 8.10 I think [04:14] !version [04:14] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [04:14] do that :) [04:14] epaphus, you can just boot to runlevel 1 [04:14] yep 8.10 [04:14] zenlunatic, how? [04:15] Mobius2: sadly can't just get KDE3 for Ubuntu 8.10 [04:15] what? why the heck not? [04:15] epaphus, edit grub entry at bootup with a 1 after your kernel arguments [04:15] Mobius2: kubuntu in 8.10 is KDE4 [04:15] Mobius2: KDE3 is the one that has been used for years now, but is not suppourted anymore basicalley. KDE4 is pretyt new [04:15] Oh I dunno that I'd even know the difference, honestly.. [04:16] Mobius2: I don't like KDE that much, I will use the apps I like from it, in Gnome [04:16] ola [04:16] !grub | epaphus [04:16] epaphus: 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 [04:16] well I went from Ubuntu server install, went to apt-get install gnome, and it took 1.4 gigs [04:16] avena: if you mean "hola", #ubuntu-es for spanish, please [04:16] im trying to install the latest version of adobe flash player [04:17] zenlunatic, the message "Using drive 0, partition 3" No O/S... is diplayed immediatey after the BIOS. [04:17] i should get the .deb version? [04:17] that's kinda ridiculous.. I'm sure a lot were dependencies, but still... i got off windows for a reason... plus all that and less room to configure stuff [04:17] any idea how to get flash 10rc 64bit to work with pulseaudio? [04:17] jaunty channel please? [04:17] Has anyone used orb.com . It pretty cool for sharing video/ television / document / mp3 between window and linux. All you do is install orb turn it on and put all your goodies in folder.. Then open your browser with your other computer. And you have all your files! [04:17] kaski: sure get it from Adboes site [04:17] !jaunty [04:17] 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. [04:17] Okay thanks seb [04:17] how do I edit a text file as root? [04:17] Justin- I used to love orb, until version 2 [04:17] Deevz: which one? [04:17] how do you upgrade ubuntu? [04:17] epaphus, can you post your /boot/grub/menu.lst [04:17] helllo ubuntu [04:17] Version2? [04:17] brandon_: upgrade to which version? [04:17] the index.html that is in my /var/www dir [04:18] !upgrade | brandon_ [04:18] brandon_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [04:18] Wow, exactly one month to jaunty [04:18] like the 9.x thats comming out soon [04:18] yeah they changed the remote interface, and it was such a pain to find anything [04:18] whats jaunty? [04:18] Sarai: a bit more than a month still [04:18] less than 1 month isn't it [04:18] Deevz: easy cd into the folder in the terminal cd /var/www dir cwhatever [04:18] How do you get Ktorrent. sudo apt-get ktorrent install? Im downloading wine now. [04:18] sebsebseb, zenlunatic .. what I do remember is.. I was in the car driving and noticed the laptop was on.. this laptop has an encrypted filesystem and it was asking me for the password... i didnt want to put it.. so i tried shutting it down hard on it.. thats all.. [04:18] Does anyone know if ubuntu supports wake on lan, and if so how it has to be set-up? [04:18] it says the owner is root [04:18] zenlunatic, how can I post the menu.1st.. if I cant get a shell? :) [04:18] justin__, sudo apt-get install ktorrent [04:18] eh... it's hard for me to get too excited about releases that occur on a fixed schedule [04:18] Deevz: then: gksudo gedit filename that will do it [04:18] Sarai: no, final release is 4/23 [04:18] ohh [04:19] april 23 [04:19] Is Wine and Ktorrent under Synaptic too? [04:19] epaphus: you can make a grub bootable floppy or I guess usb stick [04:19] hey hey... 4/20 weekend, come back and there's a new ubuntu? dang, they should hurry it up by a few days [04:19] justin__: don't get wine from synaptic [04:19] tritium: darn, right you are. Wishful thinking [04:19] I'd pass out so many ubuntu CD's it would be crazy [04:19] justin__: don't even get wine from the terminal. get it from their website, then you always get the latest version [04:19] you can always just install jaunty current [04:19] if you need it now [04:19] lol [04:19] epaphus, a bios password? [04:19] justin__: you add their server for ububuntu and then sudo apt-get install wine [04:20] sebsebseb, do you think this improper shutdown could altered the bootloader...? if its only the bootloader which is bad.. what are the chances I dont loose my data? [04:20] oops already did it [04:20] through terminal [04:20] justin__: http://www.winehq.org [04:20] That works sebsebseb, thx [04:20] zenlunatic, no the passwrd that ubuntu asks you if you encypted the filesystem [04:20] How do you uninstall in ubuntu? [04:20] justin__: well does not matter that much, but if you want the latest version always [04:20] epaphus, oh sorry never used that feature [04:20] add/remove [04:20] prob [04:20] justin__: sudo apt-get purge program [04:20] "sudo apt-get remove" will uninstall [04:20] zenlunatic, its pretty cool [04:20] oh I could be wrong lol [04:20] anyway, I'm outta here [04:20] justin__: add/remove is just a cut down version of Synaptic package manager [04:21] so ..... sudo apt-get remove vim [04:21] Shabbat Shalom, to those of such persuasions, and have a good night! to the rest of you! [04:21] like will that work [04:21] justin__: no [04:21] epaphus, so you lost your password to your encrypted laptop? [04:21] justin__: well that would work I suppouse, but [04:21] justin__: I use purge since that will get rid of config files as well sudo apt-get purge vim [04:21] zenlunatic, no.. i have that.. i lost what appears to be the grub config [04:21] sudo apt-get purge kate [04:21] why is login in as root disabled in ubuntu? [04:21] !root [04:21] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:22] LOL [04:22] epaphus, im on redhat now, but i think grub-install is in ubuntu [04:22] Deevz - use sudo (command) [04:22] I know [04:22] epaphus, that command as root should reinstal grub on mbr [04:22] I was just wondering... [04:22] you get used to sudo after awhile [04:22] I am so lost when it comes to using linux [04:22] anyone know the canonical system group channel [04:22] its simply more secure [04:22] sebsebseb where do these files go when you install them from the terminal [04:22] kaski: ok what do you want help with? [04:22] kaski, you might find a class at your local community college [04:22] A beginners guide [04:23] zenlunatic, you mean.. running that command with a grub USB boot up disk or something.. right? [04:23] Haha I don't think I need a class [04:23] But yeah [04:23] I'm off to try and migrate to a new HDD [04:23] justin__: some where in the file system, but program user data goes in hidden .folders in home [04:23] I may be back. Eventually [04:23] not familiar witha "ggrub usb boot up disk" [04:23] A website where I could learn the basics, such as file extensions, getting stuff done [04:23] kaski, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/Guide [04:23] sebsebseb if it is hidden then how do you get too it lol [04:23] kaski, file extensions don't matter in linux [04:23] justin__: view show hidden files and folders [04:23] Magilla thanks, the fix the x server command worked [04:24] soo you guys take shifts helping people in here or just bored?

[04:25] KillerOrca: mine's a little complicated - dual boot system onto a larger drive [04:25] sebsebseb, do you think this improper shutdown could altered the bootloader...? if its only the bootloader which is bad.. what are the chances I dont loose my data? [04:25] Troll_Man, sometimes we just feel like giving back, and not all of us can actually write code / have time to get familiarized with the codebase [04:25] If I survive to tell the tale, I may remember to let you know ;P [04:25] Hello all, I am interested in improving the mounting of disk images for a GSoC project. Is anyone here want to talk about it?

[04:29] It doesn't matter bro i just want my card activated [04:29] corey: Also, what is the output of the command "glxinfo | grep direct"? [04:29] what is the way to refresh the ip address in ubunut [04:29] kaski, if the guide says that then yes [04:29] like in windows it is ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew [04:29] The guide didn't mention a terminal [04:29] I am a noob with linux [04:30] bobb, sudo /etc/init.d/network restart (it might be networking) [04:30] corey, ooen a terminal, should be under system menu [04:30] kaski: get wine from their website [04:30] thx [04:30] corey: Go to Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal. Type in "glxinfo | grep direct" without the quotes.

Are you trying to change the internal one? [04:36] bobb, probably your dhcp server is giving you the same ip again [04:36] i said in the network config to manuaal before refreshing devils [04:36] termitor: do you have any suggestion ? [04:36] Hi, I'm creating new user accounts with useradd, but it doesn't seem to be setting any of the defaults (e.g. creating home dir in /home, granting proper permissions, etc.) I read the man page, and still can't see how I should fix this. [04:36] bobb, hm [04:37] bobb, then the network manager would have restarted network, etc [04:37] you should not have to do it manually [04:37] hi everyone [04:37] it didn't do ity [04:37] What is a 'BoF agenda'? (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EasyFileSharing) [04:37] neer: use windonws version of yahoo messenger on winehq [04:37] neer: test [04:38] I used the -d flag to specify the home dir, but then when I log in as my new user, I can't even modify files in my home directory. [04:38] RexE, I believe that the other accounts added after the first need to be elevated if you want them to be, the default is to give them less permissions [04:38] I'm an adelaide uni software eng student, I use linux at uni but not very often at home [04:38] termitor: test?

[04:40] Should I use a virtuallization program [04:40] Why is windows more famous and widely used than ubuntu(or linux) ..... [04:40] RexE, I belive it is chmod, I think a quick google on adding new users and changing permissions should set you up [04:40] neer: use windows version of yahoo messensing via winhq ! go go go [04:41] justin__, thats what it is supposed to do ...

Whenever I try to boot the live cd, I think it panics shortly after X starts. The keyboard leds start to blink. What can I do to debug this issue? [04:44] I tried that [04:44] Kimi, its not possible from pidgin [04:44] thanks... firefox worked :P [04:44] Kimi: because pidgin isn't a voip client. consider ekiga or skype [04:44] can someone say my nick please [04:44] cjae [04:44] RalphSpencer, It's not listed there? ok, try "sudo fdisk -l" to list all partitions. might need to manually mangle fstab to mount it [04:44] skinofstars1 from skype, can i call Gtalk ? [04:44] bobb, alright are you on a windows machine right now? [04:45] Kimi: why ? or why? [04:45] Kimi: no skype it's fully privatif ! [04:45] Kimi: i don't think so, you'd have to check the skype manual [04:45] gmazzola: thanks but sound still doesn't work [04:45] this irc is running on windows, but I have the ubuntu machine right next to me so I can accesss both simultaneously [04:45] plus what is this libssl0.9.6... [04:45] I cannot find it === Frogzoo_ is now known as frogzoo [04:45] neer: try aptitude search libssl === frogzoo is now known as Frogzoo [04:46] It has listed all the partitions... [04:46] Kimi, you cant. i dont know if they work/how well they work, you can look up telepathy based clients (i forget the name now) or psi jingle [04:46] !who | RalphSpencer [04:46] RalphSpencer: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [04:46] yo [04:46] bobb, ok on the windows machine do you have an ssh program installed? If not I reccomend Putty, and on the linux box go to firefox and get to your routers' home page [04:46] 8.04 boots and installs fine. But 8.10, 9.04 both seem to kernel panic... [04:46] killer done [04:46] RalphSpencer, can you tell which on the "f" drive is? something like "/dev/sda5"? [04:47] Shall I paste all thats listed in there? [04:47] bobb, ok so you have an ip address picked out at the top range of your router? === sean is now known as Guest87476 [04:47] I'm not much geeky in all these things.. [04:47] !pastebin | RalphSpencer [04:47] RalphSpencer: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:47] why does my firefox turn grey randomly? [04:47] Then there is not gtalk for linux..... and all my frnds use gtalk ..... now what to do ? [04:47] killer i have my ip address picked out which is within the router subnet [04:48] Kimi, have you tried pidgin? [04:48] Does anyone know what's going on with ubuntu forums? [04:48] Hello everyone ever since I installed ubuntu I have received the "sudo: unable to resove host hostname" when using the sudo command, but sudo still works. [04:48] bobb, I know but it is in the top part, like say you have adresses XXX.XXX.XXX.000 to XXX.XXX.XXX.100 and you want to chose 99 [04:48] I am using ubuntu 8.04 [04:48] When I browse to the page.. I'm getting a database error [04:49] Kimi: you could consider using wine. it allows you to run windows software [04:49] brutus, he wants voice [04:49] no it is out of the DHCP range, but within the subnet, so it is within 192.168.1.2 <-> 192.168.1.254 [04:49] myron: the time I've ever got that was after messing with my nsswitch.conf [04:50] RalphSpencer, still there? Can you copy/paste the output of "sudoi fdisk -l" into pastebin? (see ubottu's instructions above) [04:50] devilsadvocate, skype is one option then [04:50] What is a 'BoF agenda'? (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EasyFileSharing) [04:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/134630/ [04:50] myron: the /etc/hosts should contain a line that looks like "127.0.0.1 localhost hostname" where "hostname" is your hostname [04:50] ripps: I don't recall messing with nsswitch.conf but I can check it out [04:50] bobb, just as long as it is numbered high up so there are fewer chances of collisions, you have 2 ways to do this, one is to edit a text file, which I am sure you have done the other is to use the ifconfig command in terminal [04:51] brutus, actually, it isnt, because all his contacts are in gtalk. [04:51] I am trying to mount /home/user/ubuntu to /home/user/ubuntu/ubuntu this should let me in Nautalis go into the ubuntu directory unlimited times right? [04:51] hi there [04:51] RalphSpencer, ok, try "mkdir /tmp/F ; sudo mount /dev/6 /tmp/F ; nautilus /tmp/F" [04:51] Hello all. [04:51] killer either is fine with me, what should i used [04:51] deuxpi: my /etc/hosts file says "127.0.0.1 localhost" and I have disable all of the ipv6 lines by commenting them out [04:51] skinofstars1 wine doesnt work gtalk [04:51] devilsadvocate, I don't know any other voice enabled client :) [04:51] RalphSpencer, oops... "sudo mount /dev/sda6 /tmp/f" [04:52] skinofstars1 i mean, gtalk doesnt work with wine [04:52] Kimi, you can try landell [04:52] Kimi: quick check. it is possible to connect to google talk via telepathy client [04:52] brutus, :) [04:52] telepathy ? :O [04:52] opening smb:/// in nautilus shows the workgroups ... but when going inside a workgroup like this smb://workgroup/ none of the windows computers (on the lan) are visible [04:52] Question, are the forums working? or does anyone else get the database error? [04:52] Kimi: do a search on telepathy-gabble [04:52] k [04:53] I have set up a network bridge for my vbox so it will have a network ip address, should I include a linei n my /etc/hosts file for my virtual machine too? [04:53] how do I make the windows computers accessible from ubuntu [04:53] raddad: You're not the only one... [04:53] ok. good to know. [04:53] forums not working here also! [04:53] Thats not the drive I wanted.. [04:53] silv3r_m00n, samba [04:53] !samba | silv3r_m00n [04:53] silv3r_m00n: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[04:53] bobb, I think you should try the text file first, there are a few numbers you need to get from your router page though so keep it open http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-ubuntu-system-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address.html [04:54] RalphSpencer, OK... "sudo umount /tmp/F ; sudo mount /dev/sda[pick another number] /tmp/F" [04:54] raddad: I received a database error on another forum a minute ago (linux forum) but it wasn't ubuntu's [04:54] I installed Ubuntu 8.10 inside windows and everything went fine but when i boot into Ubuntu at the boot screen then it asks for my user name and password as usual but after i log in i get a black screen with just my mouse cursor, any help? [04:54] kindofabuzz: samba is installed over here [04:54] silv3r_m00n: you can try setting up remote desktop using your IP to login through a web browser. [04:54] raddad: I need this windows file sharing [04:54] Ok [04:55] silv3r: try using the ftp. [04:55] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [04:55] yea, mount [04:55] that works too [04:55] raddad: I have those options ... but I specifically need this file sharing option of samba [04:55] silv3r_m00n, then you share whatever folders you want, and windows should be able to see them. after you share a folder you have to log out then back in for it to take effect [04:55] Thats what came up.. [04:55] silv3r_m00n, you can create samba shares (it behaves like windows shares) [04:55] myron: I think you can use dnsmasq if the vhost uses DHCP. If the address is static, you can give the IP address a name in the /etc/hosts file [04:55] devilsadvocate: ubuntu is not able to access the windows machines [04:56] windows is able to access ubuntu shares [04:56] I have used KDE and gnome and now looking for a lighter, fast and easy to use DE. any suggestions? [04:56] RalphSpencer, please prefix comments with my name, makes it easier for me to see them. Which device did you use when you got the error? Try another of the devices listed in pastebin? [04:56] Hello? sprinkmeier_? [04:56] silv3r_m00n, zeroconf doesnt always work. try connecting via ip address [04:56] bobb, sorry that was incomplete :( you need to also edit the nameserver file as described here http://linhost.info/2008/11/how-to-set-a-static-ip-on-ubuntu-810/ [04:56] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [04:56] devilsadvocate: that's the thing... there are 100 computers with changing ips in this LAN [04:57] I got that messsage when I tried sda2.. [04:57] windows will automatically access any shared, as long as its allowed to. [04:57] raddad: yeah windows can access [04:57] hey guys.. is it possible to damage your hard disks filesystem by using fsck_ffs ? (provided the hardisk itself wasnt already bad) [04:57] but ubuntu can't [04:57] RalphSpencer, mount can usually figure out the filesystem type automagically. if it can't then there's probably something weird going on (i.e. fix what's weird rather than specifying FS type) [04:57] wierd amarok problem - always starts with the same song... [04:57] I kinda ran fsck_ffs very fast.. and it asked me stuff like Fyn ... and I honestly hit anything and then rebooted... [04:57] silv3r_m00n, ah. there are also applications that can list network shares. nautilus should be able to do it, but im not sure how you get there [04:58] RalphSpencer, try 8, 7, 5, 3.... [04:58] devilsadvocate: nautilus is showing the visible workgroups/domains ... but no computer in any of them [04:58] silv3r_m00n, try tksmb ? [04:58] tksmb ... let me try [04:59] silv3r_m00n, or smb4k [04:59] well. as long as the forums arent working, we have installed the es1938 sound card. still no sound. we added it to /etc/modules as well. ESS Solo 1 shows in Sounds but no sound plays. alsa has been reinstalled and alsamixer looks good. [04:59] deuxpi: I have already configured the ip address for my virtual box, and it is static (through my router) but I was wondering if I did not include the entry for the bridged connection in /etc/hosts would it cause an unable to resolve hosts error? [04:59] guys i need to know how to share the internet recieved from wifi to a comp. conected to an ethernet [04:59] silv3r_m00n, or xsmbrowser (sorry, im searching the repos for possibilities.. i dont remember which i used to use) [04:59] Using System > Administration > Users and Groups > Users Settings > MyUserName > Unlock > Authenticate > > Manage Groups > Add Group > Group name > Group Members > Ok > Close. When will this addition become effective? [05:00] devilsadvocate: sure [05:00] unko: menu, system-preferences-sound-sound-tab [05:00] sprinkmeier_: Thanks! I got the drive! It was found on sda7. Will I have to do that everytime when I need that? [05:00] thx killer will try it [05:00] Brando753, umm could you be more specific? [05:01] bobb, np it took forever for me to get it working, should have written it down [05:01] RalphSpencer, add it to /etc/fstab. best way to do that is to pastebin /etc/mtab and then "sudo nano /etc/fstab", I'll give you the line to add based on mtab [05:01] Using System > Administration > Users and Groups > Users Settings > MyUserName > Unlock > Authenticate > > Manage Groups > Add Group > Group name > Group Members > Ok > Close. When will this addition become effective? 'groups' does not show any change. [05:01] bullgard4: should be active immediately. [05:01] any help with the es1938? (question already sent above) [05:01] myron: I don't think it is a problem. /etc/hosts is just for assigning host names. It doesn't "do" something [05:01] I installed Ubuntu 8.10 inside windows and everything went fine but when i boot into Ubuntu at the boot screen then it asks for my user name and password as usual but after i log in i get a black screen with just my mouse cursor, any help? [05:02] KillerOrca: I have a laptop connected to the internet via wifi, i have a ethernet cable connecting the laptop to a desktop, i wish to give the desktop internet :D [05:02] bigrigger: But groups does not show any change. [05:02] sprinkmeier_: Sorry, I'm unable to understand what you mean. Could you say that again? [05:02] bullgard4: try sudo updatedb in a terminal [05:02] !ics | Brando753 [05:02] Brando753: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [05:03] Brando753, alright can you not connect the desktop to the router? What is running on both computers? [05:03] devilsadvocate: the thing is that I just need ubuntu to be able to access the windows share... nothing on ubuntu is to be shared ... so do I need to start the samba daemon ? [05:03] so does anyone know what I need to do to debug a kernel panic after booting 8.10 and 9.04? [05:03] RalphSpencer, pastebin your /etc/mtab. It contains the mount commands currently active. One of those needs to be copied to /etc/fstab. To edit that file you need the command "sudo nano /etc/fstab". [05:03] both are ubuntu :D And firestarter says "Eth0 (ethernet cable) is not ready" [05:03] silv3r_m00n, i dont think so, but im not sure [05:03] deuxpi: /etc/hosts is for resolving fdqn right? I know its not causing me a problem, but I have always wondered why it can't resolve my hostname when using the sudo command... [05:04] Oh ok.. [05:04] !pastebin | RalphSpencer [05:04] RalphSpencer, please see my private message [05:04] I installed Intrepid on my friend's laptop last month using Wubi, and she's been getting kernel panics almost daily. She's got a Compaq Presario C700. We did manage to get wifi working on it with the ath5k driver. [05:04] devilsadvocate: xsmbrowser works better ... it now lists the visible computers in the workgroups [05:04] She's been keeping up to date [05:04] silv3r_m00n, i'll try to remember that. thanks :) [05:04] bigrigger: I have done 'sudo updatedb'. There is no change. [05:05] Brando753, not sure if you saw but someone else sent you a link for internet connection sharing if you scroll up, hope it helps [05:05] What is a 'BoF agenda'? (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EasyFileSharing) [05:05] devilsadvocate: so why doesn't nautilus or konqueror do the same using smb:// [05:05] bullgard4: open it again, do you see it [05:05] is there some configuration problem ? [05:05] bullgard4: Birds of a Feather [05:06] anybody using yahoo messenger via wine in intrepid? (Neighbours here with many overseas contacts can't do without y-messenger when switching to ubuntu.) [05:06] silv3r_m00n, well, it works for me on dolphin... i havent tried it receently on konq and nautilus [05:06] sprinkmeier_: Thats posted here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/134634/ [05:06] silv3r_m00n, i seem to remember it used to work [05:06] devilsadvocate: yes it works in dolphin for me too [05:06] frybye: pidgin can do yahoo messenger. and many others === a is now known as _Mik [05:06] yeah but not the voice + video or??? [05:06] frybye: correct [05:06] myron: if I change the hostname momentarily "sudo hostname dummy", I also get "sudo: unable to resolve host dummy" [05:07] bullgard4: grep new-group-name /etc/group [05:07] hay [05:07] skinofstars1 i did search on telepathy gabble ,.. but didnt get one for ubuntu..... can you plz help me with the exact web page ? [05:07] raddad: and exactly that is what this folks need to have a decent contact with extended familys all over the place... [05:07] myron: so my guess is that sudo is trying to resolve the hostname [05:07] Any of you guys ever use DEBUGFS ncheck to try to see if a hard-disk block contains any data? Mine has been running for 45 mins without an answer for a single block [05:07] hello, i've installed version of Ubuntu 7.10 and i want to upgrade to Jaunty 9 from the CD [05:08] tritium: And what is meant by "Birds of a Feather"? I am familiar with an everyday phrase 'Birds of Feather'. But I cannot link this phrase to Ubuntu. (My native language is not English.) [05:08] how i would go ? [05:08] oDesk, that is not a very good idea. [05:08] looks like I will just have to give y-messenger a fly on my intrepid box here and hope to be able to sort any problems with it... [05:08] devilsadvocate: but my files.. installations.. [05:08] anyone know how to get the snd-es1938 to work? the card shows in lspci, its listed in sys-pref-sounds, also added to etc/modules, alsa was reinstalled and not muted [05:08] Sir sprinkmeier_? [05:08] i just got a brand new harddrive from newegg. how can i check it to see if its not bad [05:08] bullgard4: informal meetings [05:09] is there a chkdisk command like windows [05:09] oDesk, you should upgrade from 7.10>8.04>8.10>9.04 , and it would be easier on the network (although i concede pretty heavy on bandwidth usage) [05:09] aijnknknj: mount the drive [05:09] yeah um i plugged it in and i never had to mount it [05:09] deuxpi: ok, so if you change your hostname back to the regular name, you no longer get the unable to resolve host error right? [05:09] devilsadvocate: what about the desk space required to do all these upgrades [05:09] i just started copying files fine [05:09] fwe [05:09] oDesk, a direct upgrade from 7.10 > 9.04 can be tortorous [05:09] bullgard4: birds of a feather flock together, so these are informal meetings between people interested in common topics [05:09] myron: exactly [05:09] aijnknknj: then its presumably not bad if it works fine. :D [05:10] RalphSpencer, use the nano command above to add "/dev/sda7 /mnt/F_DRIVE ntfs defaults,ro 0 1" to fstab. the ",ro" makes the partition read-only. Given that the NTFS spec isn't publically available (and changes occasionally) this is safer. [05:10] oDesk, should not be much. i'd keep about a GB of free space or so [05:10] lkj [05:10] hy [05:10] oDesk, you should do an apt-cache clean occasionally to free up some space if you have a disk size problem === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [05:10] Sir, could you please give me the command that can directly be pasted into the file? [05:11] Automagic login to #ubuntu? Clever. [05:11] deuxpi: alright, so I am getting this error message because sudo can't resolve my hostname between /etc/hosts andwhat other fole/plaec? [05:11] devilsadvocate: I see that xsmbrowser doesn't work if samba daemon is not running [05:11] tritium: "~$ grep sambashare /etc/group; sambashare: x:1001:detlef" So I added the group 'sambashare' successfully. But when will it becom effective? [05:11] file/place* [05:11] is there anyway to debug a kernel panic from the livecd? That prevents fully booting and being able to install? [05:11] RalphSpencer, oh... and also "sudo mkdir /mnt/F_DRIVE" to create the directory. did you "sudo umount /tmp/F" when you were trying to find the right partition? it looks like /tmp/F is mounted a few times :-) [05:11] bullgard4: for the user you're currently logged in as? Upon your next login. [05:12] RalphSpencer, nano is a text editor, it's fairly easy to use. fire it up using "sudo nano /etc/fstab" then paste in the line I gave you (you can highlight it, then middle-mouse-click to paste it into the terminal running nano).

[05:22] hyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy [05:22] myron: correct [05:23] MHz128: the latest I see in the repos is libgtk2.0-dev [05:23] bigrigger: I think I had it set up that way, I'll check to be sure... I'll be back in a minute [05:23] Thanks bigrigger, but I want to rename fstab_backup to fstab and rename fstab to fstab_failed [05:23] If my screen went completely black during a resolution change, how do I switch back?

[05:26] devilsadvocate in synaptic , telepathy shows many results ... which one to install [05:26] jlink, ok try ctrl + alt +f1 [05:27] KillerOrca: Doesn't work either. [05:28] KillerOrca: I just rebooted my machine, and after sitting at the login screen for a few seconds, the screen went irreversibly black again.

[05:32] What's the ATI drivers called in Ubuntu? [05:32] Not the proprietary ones [05:33] tritium, oh, so where would configure be?

When I load WoW, I'm getting all sorts of crazy crap happening on my screen [05:37] it comes up at the start and the girl that wants me to fix it for her said she forgot it [05:37] KillerOrca: I can't even really navigate the menus or anything [05:37] does abiword do syntax checking? [05:37] millertime_018, is that a hdd password or bios password? [05:37] xorl: a HDD password [05:37] jlink, in the link I sent there is a section for WoW, in there they have ATI card fixes, I would try those [05:38] KillerOrca: I think this site has stuff on it... nevermind, what you just said, about WoW.

[05:55] silv3r_m00n, there is this microsoft-ds port open on stuff with samba shares, i believe that is what is responsible [05:55] i think i should not update this package... that package in repo causes problems when i watch viral videos :( [05:55] bigrigger: I know, do you know anything about the actual sudo configuration?

[06:16] musikgoat: "detlef@T42: /$ smbclient -L \\localhost; Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused); Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONN'ECTION_REFUSED)" [06:16] How do i unrar a .rar archive in ubuntu [06:16] sprinkmeier_, not that i know of [06:16] jlink, can 32-bit version handle all the 4gb ram? [06:16] jlink: you will lose some memory then [06:16] Ubuntu and McEwan's Scotch. A lovely combination if I do say so myself [06:16] sprinkmeier_, oh wait. routes has .l and gets cut off there [06:17] juniecho: 3 GB [06:17] sprinkmeier_, how do i change that/why did that happen? :/ [06:17] bullgard4: are you attempting to write to something you have permission to write to? [06:17] devilsadvocate, ok. "all applications" include things like ping? just wondering if it's a proxy issue rather than a DNS one. [06:17] jlink: 4GB is max but it uses some of that for hardware mapping and such... usually you get about 3G usable memory [06:17] Slart, double click it [06:17] tritium thanks [06:17] juniecho: aye. For more info, see what Slart said above. [06:17] Dreamglider: huh? [06:18] musikgoat: No, I do not think so. I was trying to get a file from a neighboring Ubuntu laptop computer. [06:18] devilsadvocate, any domain ending in .local is assumed to use multicast DNS. look at /etc/host.conf, check for "multi" and remove it (back up file first! [06:18] How can i get the panel to dispaly just icons not names ? [06:18] Is there any difference between 32bit and 64bit, besides the RAM limit> [06:18] Slart, sry that was for xSlack [06:18] tritium, slart, thanks but this is strange. i have 4gb of ram and am on 32bit, it shows only 2.8GiB of ram total...!? [06:18] jlink: flash and java used to be less supported on 64-bit. I'm not sure of the status on those now. [06:18] sprinkmeier_, i'll try that. setup is a little too complicated to try and explain, esp. if its something mroe trivial :) [06:18] Dreamglider: ah =) [06:18] bullgard4: the other computer might be sharing read-only [06:18] bullgard4: you'd have to change that setting [06:19] juniecho: yup.. how much graphics memory do you have? [06:19] folks, anyone here working on java-gnome project? [06:19] slart, i don't have dedicated graphic memory... assigned 128mb ram for graphic. do you think that's the reason? [06:19] tritium, flash is better supported in 64 bit under a recent version 10 build if I remember correctly [06:19] tritium: Are there any benefits to 64bit over 32bit? [06:19] juniecho: i technically have 512 in my system, but ubuntu only sees 502 mb [06:20] jlink, it is slightly faster [06:20] sprinkmeier_, do i need to restart network after that? [06:20] gartral: your video card might be using ram [06:20] juniecho: that might be one thing.. it probably uses memory for other things too [06:20] anyone know what the deal is with Flash and Firefox and no sound? [06:20] just went through maybe 20 sites, and nothing works [06:20] jlink: more threads per proc is the main one, but the bi advantage comes if you want *more* than 4 gigs of ram [06:20] devilsadvocate, shouldn't. try "ping", it uses the resolver lib, so it should indicate if it's working or not. [06:20] juniecho: or rather.. it doesn't use the memory but it uses up the addresses [06:20] jlink: no performance gains, just larger address space [06:20] ok back tritium [06:20] why does the ubuntu system monitor take between 45 and 60% of my proc at all times that its running? [06:20] Slart what does it mean? i'm not a computer expert :( [06:21] can you just help me uninstalled it all .. then reinstall [06:21] join the juniecho [06:21] club [06:21] seektherapy: have you seen this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP ? [06:22] and one more question, it is possible to use native linux programs on windows? [06:22] juniecho: cygwin [06:22] juniecho: ok, just to simplify things... say your computer can address memory from 1 to 10.. you've got 10 bytes of memory too.. ok? === gaintsura is now known as gaintsur[a] [06:23] juniecho: so far so good.. you want to see what is in memory cell 1 you ask for memory "1".. and so on.. you can read all your memory, nothing is wasted [06:24] slart... yeah :) [06:24] What's the command to show the installed version of *Ubuntu* (I don't mean uname)? [06:24] uname -a [06:24] arnducky: lsb_release -a [06:24] musikgoat: On the neighboring computer: smb.conf includes the lines: "path = /home/detlef/freigegebenMD; guest ok = yes; read only = no; available = yes; browsable = yes; public = yes; writable = yes". So I guess that my serving computer is configured correctly. I am rather concerned with the slave computer: "detlef@T42: /$ smbclient -L \\localhost; Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused); Connection to localhost failed (Error [06:24] juniecho: but now you connect something to your computer.. it's a electronic display that displays one number only..(like a score board but with only one teams score).. you then say that everything you write into memory cell "10" will end up on the scoreboard.. [06:25] :) [06:25] how do i search a file for specific string? [06:25] hello! [06:25] i used this tritium http://ubuntuexperiment.wordpress.com/2008/11/10/installing-apache-php-mysql/#comment-204 [06:25] juniecho: so if you write a 5 to memory cell "10" the scoreboard will show a big 5.. this is great.. you can use you electronic scoreboard.. but how do you now access your real memory cell "10" ? you can't [06:26] Newbuntu: Use the grep command. [06:26] Newbuntu, 'grep string file' [06:26] ty === kitchen is now known as Guest99073 [06:26] I think I have some serious hardware issues going on here. What the heck [06:26] do i need to be in the files dir to run the command? [06:26] i just want to uninstall and start over again [06:26] juniecho: so by connecting the scoreboard your computer can now only use 9 bytes of memory [06:26] Newbuntu, yes, or you can specify the path to it as part of the filename to search [06:27] I have the Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop 32bit live CD in my drive. I'm running Ubuntu straight from it. After a few seconds of bootup, the screen goes black. [06:27] Newbuntu, it's more common to grep a directory to find out what file(s) have a specific string [06:27] Newbuntu: No. [06:27] anyone know why the ubuntu system monitor takes between 45 and 60% of my proc at all times that its running? [06:27] gartral, run "top" in a terminal. who's the culprit? [06:28] heh [06:28] gartral: Are you sure it isn't just soaking up idle time? There's something like that in Windows too [06:28] juniecho: it's the same thing in your real computer.. graphics memory is mapped into those 4GB you can address.. also other things.. probably your audio card, printer bla bla bla [06:28] so if i were too grep string / i'd search the entire system? [06:28] gartral: Because it is programmed so that it takes so many ressources. It updates graphics too often. [06:28] Newbuntu: no, you'd need to tell grep that you want it done recursively [06:28] actually tritium it appears that all the links are working to test the installation [06:28] -r? [06:28] Newbuntu, no, you'd only search the root directory, and only if you had permissions to do so. you'd have to specify recursiveness [06:29] Newbuntu: then you'd wait an hour or so :) yes, -r [06:29] sprinkmeier_, sadly, that did not work :( . its strange though - it seems local addresses resolve. internet ones dont. [06:29] ok ty [06:29] sprinkmeier_: i said system monitor, system monitor shows itself as running between %45 and %60 at all times that its up, if i close it, everything calms down [06:29] while i tried to install arch yesterday, the filesystem on my kubuntu partition changed from ext3 to ext4 somehow without formating anything. fstab still say it's ext3, but to mount it i have to append "-t ext3" to the mount command. now i can't boot kubuntu anymore, i get the error "mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /root failed: no such device."... There are some more error messages like "target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init" or "No init [06:29] found. Try passing init=bootarg", and afterwards i am droped to the built in shell (ash) with the prompt "(initramfs)"... Any ideas what i'm doing wrong? [06:29] but i am having problems installing wordpress and that working [06:29] gartral, depending on video drivers, update rate and eye-candy ubuntu system monitor can soak up a lot of CPU. slow it down, or use "top" instead. [06:29] bullgard4: ahh, is that why the names all go blank when i scroll? [06:30] My computer loses 3 seconds every second, how to fix? [06:30] gartral: I believe so, yes. [06:30] sprinkmeier_: i have visual themes disabled, and im running restricted drivers for a legacy nvidia card [06:30] devilsadvocate, can you pastebin /etc/resolv/conf, /etc/host.conf, the output if "host www.ibm.com" (or similar) and the output of "ping www.ibm.com"? [06:30] sprinkmeier_, ok. the dns setup i usually work for some reason is not working in this setup : generally DNS A gives me local addresses, and if its internet it sends a not available and it goes to DNS B. i made DNS B the default and ping works. local addresses wont resolve now, though [06:31] neptunepink: Please be more precise in describing what do you mean by " My computer loses 3 seconds every second" [06:31] anyone know how well terminator works in KDE? [06:31] slart, kinda hard but you mean it is not wasted, but reserved, or occupied by other 'devices'?

[06:55] rww: I'm using 8.04 - I think it's called "Hardon" or something [06:55] :) [06:56] firewallnoob: hardy ;). gufw is in hardy-backports, if you'd like to try it out.

Unfortunatly I haven't been able to reproduce it [07:21] install the drivers for my graphics card but when I start GDM, I get the box vesa [07:22] bullgard4: Any kind of about:addons? Eg. Adblock is loaded [07:22] poet: they're not the same, but both can be used to run a well-scaled java applications. But ubuntu will have the overhead. The question is whether the overhead is variable and large enough? [07:22] firewallnoob: the os on the dell is not working, i downloaded it via the internet. but i can no longer access windows or ubuntu on the dell [07:22] oh [07:22] poet thanks [07:22] JessicaParker: what I mean is did you burn Ubuntu CD first and then installed it? [07:22] but for 5 seconds of my speaking.... it saves very big file [07:23] firewallnoob: i have it on another machine and am trying to set up dhcp so that my dell can access the network on boot [07:23] Shinu: Adblock is not loaded in my Firefox 3.0.3. [07:23] firewallnoob: the dell has no cd and no usb, the cd is not working it is broken [07:23] hello [07:23] JessicaParker, try FAI [07:23] firewallnoob: the dell cannot read a usb on boot it does not have the capaability [07:23] kk [07:24] g4lt-lappy: fai ?

[07:26] firewallnoob: absolutely - yest method 2 [07:26] poet: ndiswrapper does not work any more? [07:27] on booting the dell it is still not recognising the server - so im not sure if ive configure the server correctly , there arent many options on the dell for boot anyway so i dont think it is the dell [07:27] never ever buy a dell machine they are so rubbish and so limited and replacement parts expensive [07:27] JessicaParker, yo've set up the dell fior PXE? [07:28] <_Mik> ubuntu is forcing passwords down my throat [07:28] JessicaParker: did you restart the dhcp server? [07:28] (sometimes they defaukt to a weird netboot protocol) [07:28] g4lt-lappy: just checking firewallnoob yes restarted after setting config file [07:28] firewallnoob, DHCP, for netboot? typically you use bootp [07:29] hi chaps, I am newbie [07:29] <_Mik> requiring a password in an unprivileged account is ludicrous. [07:30] _Mik: So change that. It really isn't. But it's your system. [07:30] It can cause *some* damage [07:30] g4lt-lappy: something is happening [07:30] Is this site down? http://ubuntuforums.org/ [07:30] eltimbalino: Yes [07:31] I have a problem. I have resize my new laptop 320GB, vista and and created a 47 GB partionion for ubuntu. NOw i have installed ubuntu on this partition, when it loads up, there's no option for vista [07:31] getting a tfpt open timeout message [07:31] Thanks Shinu, I thought it must be me [07:31] JessicaParker: I've never done a netinstall myself (this is what you are trying to do). My advice is, if you don't get adequate help with it, reinstall WinXP Pro from the CDs. If that doesn't work, warranty repair [07:31] :) [07:31] _Mik, it's not forcing *A* particular password down hyour throat, no, but if you're complaining that it wants one, I have news for you, so will win7 [07:31] firewallnoob: dont have cd player that is working so no go there and also out of warranty [07:31] I reeli like the unbuntu [07:32] JessicaParker: Is it a laptop?

[07:34] can anyone help? how to boot up in vista, on dual os on the same hdd [07:34] _Mik: again, it's not a good idea.

FAI tends to be hinkey on precise filenames [07:39] Hi - say I'm wondering if someone might just have the answer for me on this: my last distribution upgrade (to 8.04) went great, but subsequent to that I've not been shown the availability of distribution upgrades. It seems I got switched to the "LTS" plan somehow. This was not my intention, and it's really not what I want. Any idea what I need to tweak to fix this? [07:39] g4lt-lappy: dont know how do i find out [07:39] dparker: You go to software {sources|properties} and on one of the second (or third?) tabs, you can choose LTS or every release, etc. [07:40] ok thanks [07:40] (Flannel) [07:40] g4lt-lappy: its still on tfpt - before it did not do anything until i tried pxe like you recommended so [07:40] if Gnome won't work on my system, will LXDE probably not work? [07:40] dparker: I've heard that 8.10 sucks (just a rumor) [07:41] g4lt-lappy: it started with one dot (.) and now there are five (....) but difficult to tell if any progess is being made [07:41] firewallnoob: then wait till you see 9.04 Alpha 6 :P [07:41] yeah - I wasn't really thinking of doing it now - I just want the option [07:41] dparker: it killed some stuff that was previously working on my laptop [07:41] firewallnoob: i learned Alpha software isn't fun the hard way [07:41] I consider myself warned - thanks :) [07:42] meoblast001: its 'alpha', you should walk away if you are using your computer for production and not fun ;) [07:42] meoblast001: it was considerably stable [07:42] JessicaParker, do a dir or ls on the server [07:42] btw, beta is coming soon :) [07:42] savvas: exactly, I'm typing from alpha 6, no problems here [07:42] !worksforme [07:42] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others).

See the iptables manpage. [07:43] savvas: it "won't let me use Gnome" [07:43] meoblast001: then you should probably stay on stable ground ;) [07:43] meoblast001: how come?

[08:35] gnu_dio: just a side question: you really want/need to use sendmail? [08:36] the reason for sendmail was that it's from a php script I didn't write that uses sendmail [08:36] this is the link of the vlc error.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/134715/ [08:36] so I had to remove exim4 to install sendmail, or edit php code I know nothing about [08:36] hi shredder, I am newbie, can give heads up for somethinh [08:37] shredder12: are you running compiz at the moment? [08:37] shredder12: and are you _certain_ the video file plays in totem or mplayer or whatever? [08:37] I created a partition after resizing my laptop, and installed ubuntu, but now there's no option to boot vissta [08:38] ziroday: yes i am able to play them in totem movie player.. this is how i have to watch them now.. [08:38] maybe zroday can help [08:38] if it's possible to alias exim4 as sendmail, that could be the solution, but I know even less about exim4 than I do about sendmail [08:38] gnu_dio - exim4 has a wrapper that simulates the sendmail command line program to a degree. does the php program use some other aspect of sendmail? [08:38] no [08:39] sendmail -i -t only [08:39] gnu_dio: mx4.hotmail.com seems to not answer at the moment (now=log time). btw exim4 also has a sendmail syntactic sugar layer. just check if in fact exim4 also provides a "sendmail" command.. no problems with php then.. [08:39] ziroday: and about the compiz.. i don't know whether i m using it currently or not.. but my video setting.. in system -> preferences -> appearance-> visual effects is set to normal [08:39] w/ exim4 you'll see /usr/sbin/sendmail -> exim4 [08:39] shredder12: can you set that to none please and then try again [08:39] ziroday: okk... let me try.. [08:40] well, before I replaced exim4 with sendmail, It wasn't even trying to send emails, so there must be something about configuring exim4 to pretend to be sendmail [08:40] ziroday: i set it to none.. but still having the same problem.. [08:41] shredder12: hmm [08:41] gnu_dio: did you configure exim to use hotmail as a smarthost? [08:41] gnu_dio: you still have the exim log file around? [08:41] user___: did you look at the error that i got in the terminal while playing a video in vlc.. if not then please have a lookk.. and suggest something... http://paste.ubuntu.com/134715/ [08:41] shredder12: what graphics card and what drivers? [08:42] ziroday: nvidia.. and the drivers are installed. [08:42] ziroday: actually i was able to play them on vlc a while ago. then suddenly this problem started.. [08:42] I hadn't actually even tried to configure it. I saw the php code wanted sendmail, and that nothing was happenning in the logs (all empty after trying to send the mails) so I put sendmail in [08:42] shredder12: googling around now, but looks nasty [08:42] I'm putting exim4 back in now [08:42] how can I fix "Script /etc/menu-methods/translate_menus returned error status 1." that I get on every software installed via apt-get? [08:43] shredder12: you might want to ask in #videolan [08:43] ziroday: kk. i will try that too.. newaz.. thanks for ur help.. [08:43] shredder12: sorry, didnt look before, was in "read quotes only"-mode. the error is about a broken video driver [08:43] user___: but i have nvidia drivers installed.. [08:44] shredder12: open or closed source? [08:44] user___: i installed them using envyng.. [08:44] user___: and the hardware drivers shows it as activated.. [08:45] shredder12: uh, not sure envyng is the way to go with ubuntu.. [08:45] user___: but everything was working fine a while ago.. [08:45] hey everyone. which is going to be the next LTS release? [08:46] I want to use quicklaunch on my ubuntu - just like under windows, how can I do that ? [08:46] drowner: I think 9.10 [08:46] erbish: what's "quicklaunch"? [08:46] morning all, i was wondering if anyone has tried programming apps in objective-c (cocoa app) in ubuntu.? [08:46] crontab -e doesn't seem to be working .... i'm running it as root, and /usr/sbin/cron is running as a process though. anybody have any ideas? [08:47] user___: ok, sendmail removed, exim4 reinstalled appears successfully. Now I have the same problem I had at first. Nothing appears in the mail.log when the php tries to send mail. [08:47] wynand: i have not. :) [08:47] Hi, I'm trying to configure postfix with virtual users, but I'd like to use it on localhost rather than an external FQDN. When I set up the virtual users in /etc/postfix/vmaps I am not sure what domain to use... can anyone assist? [08:47] gnu_dio: you can check if the crontab is updated: crontab -l [08:47] anybody know how to use crontab -e ? [08:48] user___: and ya one more thing.. when i tried to force an earlier version of vlc.. and clicked apply in synaptic... i got this error.... http://paste.ubuntu.com/134721/ [08:48] any know well gparted? [08:48] does crontab -e work as root ? [08:48] lstarnes: thanks very much. I'm with Hardy, i want to be a fresh install. Stupid question: if I back up my home, will it keep settings like my firefox passwords, and so on? are they kept in /home? [08:48] i want to know if i ll loose my data by resizing a ntfs partition [08:48] oops thats for quizme [08:48] gnu_dio: sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config [08:48] prince_jammys, a little button on the bar, next to the start menu where you can store your fav programs [08:48] timob: * * * * * /root/backup/dump_time <-- that's my cron file [08:49] drowner: most personal or account-specific data is kept in a user's home directory [08:49] erbish: you can have icons for your progs on the bar. is that no good? [08:49] or more specifically, is it possible to create postfix virtual users for the localhost domain? [08:49] erbish: you can add a drawer to the panel and fill it with what you want [08:49] lstarnes: thanks again. I've got a seperate /home partition, so I might just go with that then [08:49] erbish: ah, there you go, "drawers" [08:50] shredder12: it might be that the video driver is broken because some packages got updated while others are not yet. [08:50] quizme: so you can see if crontab -e worked if you see what you edited in crontab -l [08:50] shredder12: or the other way around [08:50] timob: i'm just running a simple script: #!/bin/bash [08:50] date >> time.log [08:50] prince_jammys, no, those takes too much space from the bar - otherwise i know drawers, is there any alternative other than drawers? [08:51] timob: i typed in crontab -l, but it just shows my crontab file [08:51] user___: but then how am i able to play the video on other players.. and not on vlc.. may be it is some update issue with vlc.. [08:51] erbish: i have no idea :) i should shut up, since i don't even run gnome. [08:51] quizme: ok so crontab -e worked ... which is your question. [08:52] oh, never mind, you could have useful info even if you run kde [08:52] shredder12: because other players can use different parts of the video system. there is no routine such as "play video file". it is implemented differently [08:52] otherwise, thanks, ill try to use drawers [08:53] shredder12: for now you might use just another player. when an x.org-update or vlc-update was installed recheck.. ;-) [08:53] timob: my cron job is not running though [08:54] user___: how do we check when the last update took place.. [08:54] quizme: does your script work from the command line? [08:55] quizme: are you using the full path to the script? [08:55] !give ikonia a test [08:55] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:55] quizme: i see you are [08:55] gnu_dio: i have an idea.. the fact is exim4 does not log to /var/log/mail.log at all.. look at /var/log/exim4/mainlog [08:55] quizme: specify the full path to your time.log [08:57] shredder12: hmm, just found /var/log/dpkg.log on my system. not sure if envyng uses the dpkg-system and leaves a footprint there.. [08:57] user___: ahh. I was about to say that after carefully reconfiguring it still wasn't logging... looking there [08:57] gnu_dio: yes, this was some sort of idiots-heureka-moment for me.. [08:58] user___: ok this is the currwent logged problem: 2009-03-21 01:54:01 socket bind() to port 25 for address 127.0.0.1 failed: Address already in use: waiting 30s before trying again (1 more try) [08:59] quizme: well, i guess cron uses $HOME as its PWD if you don't specify one, so the file would be at /root [08:59] gnu_dio: maybe vanilla sendmail still running? [08:59] user___: It got removed by apt when I reinstalled exim4 [08:59] prince_jammys: oh you means to specify the full path in my script? [08:59] checking by ps -A... [09:00] prince_jammys: yeah, i see it. it's in /HOME, not where the script is :) [09:00] prince_jammys & timob: thank you guys [09:01] hey [09:01] gnu_dio: netstat.. [09:01] quizme: cool [09:01] What's the difference between grub and the windows bootloader? === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [09:01] why would you prefer one over the other? [09:01] Myztikal_: what is your goal?, it depends on the user case.. [09:02] ohh and if the kernal is upgraded should i delete the information from the grbu lst file? [09:02] i do want to boot into windows by default [09:02] prince_jammys: it seems that root's crontab is here: /etc/crontab [09:02] and i've heard a way vista default in GRUB [09:02] prince_jammys: and crontab -e doesn't seems to be the way to go for root. [09:03] user___: yes, sendmail-mta was running, killed it, now log is clearly different: http://pastebin.ca/1366982 [09:03] Myztikal_: you can but you dont have to delete the old-kernel line [09:03] quizme: i was referring to the cron's present working directory when the script is run, since you don't supply a full path on 'time.log' [09:03] Myztikal_: you can tell grub in /boot/grub/menu.lst to boot windows by default [09:04] ahh ic [09:04] hey guys, I was trying to patch my wireless card among other things, and screwed it up. I want to reinstall the driver/config for the card, how can I do this? [09:04] in your opinion, GRUB or the Windows bootloader? [09:04] ubuntu forums r down, I know there is a topic already on it [09:05] gnu_dio: *maybe* your killing of sendmail is the reason that the spool is still locked [09:05] quizme: crontab -e should work fine for root. [09:05] user___: didn't find much there.. i searched for envy or nvidia nd no content matched... then the last vlc installation was done by me yesterday.. so no clue here.. [09:06] user___: makes sense to me. Can it be unlocked easily? (without a restart, preferably, the server is far from me and if it fails to come back up, it will be days before I can physically fix it.... [09:06] shredder12: so sadly it seems envy acts independently of the package infrastructure.. not good [09:06] "detlef@T42: /$ smbclient -L \\localhost; Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused); Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)."

[09:07] user___: may be i should post it on forums.. hopefully someone there.. could help me.. newaz.. i hav to go now.. thanks for all ur help.. [09:07] gnu_dio: i suggest to try #linux or #debian. these tribes are really smart (depending on time of the day) [09:07] drowner: You can use Synaptic as well. [09:08] user___: OK, I think you've helped me get onto the right path, at least [09:08] bullgard4: Does an LTS (I'm on hardy) give you that option? [09:08] Myztikal_, definetely grub. the windows bootloader is a PITA to use for non-MS OSs [09:08] gnu_dio: or #ubuntu-server [09:09] drowner: Yes. [09:09] Oh ok. sorry, I thought it didn't. [09:09] hello [09:10] how ca i remove grub mode [09:10] cristi_, remove grub? just install another bootloader over the top [09:11] !ping [09:11] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [09:11] drowner: Follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades . It has instructions on doing it The Right Way. Doing it The Wrong Way is bad. [09:11] when i start my computer grub mode shows up and ask me what kernel to load [09:12] i want to start the first kernel automatic withowst asking me [09:12] hi - I hve the regular skype***.deb package on the desktop and istalled it with the gui device in intreped - now I am trying to unistall and get:- [09:12] sudo dpkg -p skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb [09:12] Paket »skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb« ist nicht verfügbar.

[09:13] cristi_: you can probably set `timeout' to zero in your /boot/grub/menu.lst [09:13] but it is listed when doing ls -l at desktop for instance... [09:13] cristi_: sprinkmeier_ ah, ok, scrap that, if '0' means forever [09:13] Is there a full-screen DPAP Client for Hardy? Similar to Apple's Fronrow?

Is this possible? [09:27] wanna_learn_more, load balancing = 2 or more servers with network magic in front of them to send requests to them in order to balance the load. magic can be simple (DNS round-robin) or complicated (TCP-handoff).

[09:40] I can't. I can't read the output that that command generates [09:40] ok so anyone got working howto intrepid + skype + micro + pulse ? [09:40] marcusdavidus, "sudo chmod 700 /home/*" should keep your users out of each other's homedirs. might have some sideeffects, use with care. [09:40] But the encryption takes very much time and is painfull for example thousands of family pictures or something. [09:40] actually i, but all in pulse works for me [09:41] And sounds scifi [09:41] sprinkmeier_: why u tell me that ? === _Lepohi is now known as Lepohi [09:41] i have downloaded tran-1.51, but its not a deb package. it contains several folders like "cli","gtk","deamon" etc. how can i install it ? [09:41] hey if you have audio problems in skype try editing the options on audio tab [09:41] i have downloaded transmission-1.51, but its not a deb package. it contains several folders like "cli","gtk","deamon" etc. how can i install it ?

[09:42] cristi_: of course i can jsut kill pulse and setup alsa but this is not an option if i make working system ther e is no ways like kill something [09:42] Hmm [09:43] How do I kill a process that is listening on a particular port? [09:43] But the problem is always that you need to decrypt too to use it? [09:43] hello I'm having some trouble with wireless internet when runing an e16 session [09:43] cristi_: Then why the "cristi_" [09:43] ? [09:43] any help would be appreciated [09:43] maybe his name is cristian [09:43] forevertheuni, easiest way is to install ubuntu-server. it goes to non-X by default. I can't find the runlevel stuff I used to use... anyone? [09:44] sprinkmeier_: eheh I thought of that...but i'm out of cd's..how lame am I [09:44] rjune, "sudo netstat -ntp" should give you the PID, then ye olde "kill -9" [09:44] anyways ty [09:44] ubuntu-server has grub? [09:44] grub-install etc? [09:45] forevertheuni, /etc/inittab used to control the runlevel but that seems to be missing. Not sure what mechanism ubuntu uses now. Anyone? [09:45] forevertheuni: maybe you can query ubotu or equivalent in #ubuntu-server [09:45] sprinkmeier_: ubuntu uses upstart [09:45] forevertheuni, ubuntu-server has pretty much everything ubuntu-desktop has, only it starts w/o X and installs a few different things by default. [09:45] !upstart | sprinkmeier_ , forevertheuni [09:45] hi. I want to host online games, but it appears as though a firewall is blocking me, in ubuntu 8.04 I had no problems, but something in 8.10 is stopping me [09:45] sprinkmeier_ , forevertheuni: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [09:45] lstarnes: can we boot from the cd only to console withouth starting X? [09:46] forevertheuni: I don't know [09:46] Is there a way I can disable this firewall thingy? [09:46] ok ty [09:46] lstarnes, guntbert Thanks! that's been bothering me, reading that now.....

[09:47] user___: I got it "working" with exim4, mostly due to your help, thanks. Now my problem is only that I'm in a dynamic address range and I need to send to hotmail, and hotmail blocks all dynamic IPs. oh, well. but you solved the problem I had, thanks. Now on to workarounds for this issue [09:48] ok so noe oen knwo how to make intrepid works wiht skype and pusle? [09:48] pulse [09:48] gnu_dio: get a decent mail provider ;-) hotmail has had its peak i believe [09:48] I have a work around for that [09:49] Use a free relay like Google APPS [09:49] marcusdavidus: try to slow down a bit when typing - we all will be able to read your statements better :-)) [09:49] user___: :) heh My boss made the account, and said "mail it to this one" so that's what I tried. [09:49] ok guntbert : is anyone out there have a way to make ubuntu intrepid works with skype and pulse audio without killing pulse audio becouse this is no solution [09:49] user___, I turned off ufw and it doesn't change anything. perhaps IP forwarding is disabled in kernel? [09:50] Is there anyway to get hotmail working with evolution? I guess they block their pop.. [09:50] I have a screen reader on OS X Leopard to read the irC Channel [09:50] Of course it could be done by forwarding the emails to gmail but that's a bit tricky [09:50] gnu_dio: you could create an additional account with a decent provider and forward [09:50] Alex_21: i got gnome working and lookign like leopard** [09:50] And my problem is that I have a Ubuntu 8.04 minimal CD install box that I need to get sound out of [09:50] Alex_21: download debian miniam cd and no problems [09:50] nyad: hmm, what does 'ufw status' say? [09:51] user___: can you reccommend a free host that won't block my dynamic IP address? [09:51] Alex_21: shouldn't you get a screen reader for ubuntu first? [09:51] gnu_dio: sorry, no, anyone? [09:51] Alex_21: or do you have one already? [09:51] Alex_21: sudo install alsa-base or alsa have no idea what this package get name in ubuntu [09:51] marcusdavidus: I have skype on intrepid running and working, but I got no idea what sound system I'm using - so I won't be of much help to you :( [09:51] user___, Status: not loaded (this is after $ sudo ufw disable) [09:51] guntbert: pff [09:52] intreprind ibex is stable ?

[09:53] i heard that has a lot of bugs but the oficial edition is diferent [09:53] Alex_21: ok, try sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-oss alsa-tools alsa-utils (just get everything) [09:53] cristi_: ubuntu = i want be stable like debian but im more windows alike [09:53] !offtopic | marcusdavidus [09:53] marcusdavidus: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [10:27] xukun: hellanzb -list gives you the id number of each nzb in the queue [10:27] PerryArmstrong: if you let the installer repartition, yes it should (there seems to be no other OS) [10:27] erUSUL: ubottu: i see, thanks :) jut come from fedora [10:27] xukun: hellanzb -force x Where x is the number of the nzb, will make it start downloading, move to top of queue === jimka is now known as jimka_ [10:27] Qorel_, ask a question [10:27] Lepohi: ubottu is our beloved bot XD === jimka_ is now known as jimka [10:28] srry in this moment got only screens of xfce4 on my gent [10:28] moin [10:28] How can I resotre screen setting without logging into GUI?

[10:31] Qorel_, and prince_jammys gave you the answer scroll up ^^ [10:31] fsck [10:31] PerryArmstrong: do you have any valuable data (in /home or so)? - then caution! [10:31] Tmi, "sudo touch /forcefsck" and reboot [10:31] ok, thank you [10:31] sprinkmeier_, that'll force a fsck on the next boot? [10:32] guntbert; no data [10:32] that's doesnt work... [10:33] mrwes, yes, see /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh [10:33] didnt kno that sprinkmeier_, cheers [10:33] Tmi: ext3 filesystem are configured to be checked after 30 reboots (iirc) it is done automatically during boot [10:33] PerryArmstrong: then go ahead, let ubuntu "use the whole disk", mind you will get only two partitions then, if you want to keep /home separate tell it to leave some space on the disk for later [10:34] Qorel_: sudo rm -rf /home/your_name/.local/share/Trash/ [10:34] guntbert; i have XP and vista also...so its ubuntu has only 25 GB...so shall i allow ubuntu to take up this space automatically [10:34] erUSUL, yeah I know, but due to a bit of "pulling out a few harddrives sometimes" they are now checked "out of sync", so at one boot one disc is shceked, then after a few boots another disk is checked and so on .... I just want them all to be checked at the same time, so if I force a check on all they will from now on be checked at the same time := [10:34] sprinkmeier_, thank...learned something new [10:35] still not working [10:35] PerryArmstrong: recommended for beginners [10:35] ok...it working quibbler....thkz.. [10:35] Qorel_: no problem man [10:36] Tmi: i see now; maybe the "sudo touch /forcefsck" works if you do it on all the filesystems dunno [10:36] PerryArmstrong: yes, don't let it take the "whole disk" then, but all 25GB [10:36] hi! I have a problem with ndiswrapper. I loaded it without any problems and I can log in to the Internet but the connection goes out in every 4 minutes or so. I read it can be related with WAP encyrption. Any ideas? [10:36] sprinkmeier_, so when it sees the forcefsck file it'll run? very nice [10:36] erUSUL, no, just the root filesystem wil do. it will then check anything fstab tells it to auto-mount. [10:38] anyone available? :) [10:38] i art [10:38] hi! I have a problem with ndiswrapper. I loaded it without any problems and I can log in to the Internet but the connection goes out in every 4 minutes or so. I read it can be related with WAP encyrption. Any ideas?

[11:12] peachy, an audit? [11:12] yes [11:12] somehow, i installed packages from a "newer" repo and now several packages show clashes, like i have a later version of python installed, but main repo is having an older python-dev so i cannot install python-dev.. anyway out other than a new installation? [11:12] peachy, what prevents you from installing it on your own system [11:12] shyam_k, what newer repo [11:13] bazhang > my audit box isn't ubuntu and I've limited connectivity [11:13] bazhang: don't remember exactly i think i mixed with intrepid repo i think.. === zoom is now known as Guest49650 [11:13] shyam_k, are you mixing version repos? [11:13] peachy, what about in a virtualbox then [11:14] shyam_k, let us see your sources.list [11:14] forum is back up [11:14] I have limited connectivity ... I can't exactly download & install ubuntu at 8kb/sec [11:14] peachy, then you are not running ubuntu at all? [11:14] why not just the wordlist package then and unarchive [11:14] well, not within the next hour in any rate which is when I will have exhausted my wordlists [11:15] I don't see a link to it [11:15] bazhang: actually i am using gnewsense and i happen to include hardy repo too to the sources and now i think hardy is a lill updated so packages are new.. but i have now removed the hardy repo too.. [11:15] http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/wswiss [11:15] if someone could link me to the wordlist I can grab it & do the rest [11:15] k thanx [11:16] shyam_k, then you should seek out gnewsense support as this is ubuntu support [11:16] !ultimate [11:16] The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition [11:16] shyam_k, /join #gnewsense [11:16] ofcourse am there.. [11:17] just asked hoping to get some magical tool which can forgive all your apt sins:) [11:17] shyam_k, if you come to #ubuntu-offtopic I wll take a look [11:17] actually is there any tool which can "downgrade" apps and regain system harmony? [11:18] say i mixed version repos.. [11:18] shyam_k, no [11:18] hmm.. [11:19] anything we can do? at the worst, like i first experienced the penance when i was trying to upgrade from debian etch to lenny an year ago.. [11:19] shyam_k, that is offtopic here [11:19] okok [11:19] shyam_k, please join the appropriate channel to discuss [11:20] i was just generally talking about the apt system.

[11:28] aprilhare: use ivman and fstab [11:33] this is .. frustrating, why couldn't .deb contain a cpio or tar.bz2 directly, wtf is with this "ar" format :-/ [11:33] and pos to install [11:34] How can I get rid of printer support in Samba? [11:34] peachy: ar is about the oldest compressed archive format [11:35] great, where does it live? googling for unar on 8kb/sec mobile inet sucks big time [11:36] peachy: the program is just called "ar" [11:36] !language | peachy [11:36] peachy: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[11:38] aprilhare: read what ubottu said ;) [11:38] maxb: need the swiss wordlist from the intrepid repo, not on ubuntu right now, limited inet connectivity & doing an audit [11:38] ortsvorsteher:: clarify [11:38] ortsvorsteher: there is a question of relevance unanswered [11:38] peachy: ok, dpkg-deb -x is what you want to use to just extract a .deb to peek inside its files [11:39] hi [11:39] peachy: oh.... or does "not on ubuntu" mean "not on any dpkg-based distro at all" ? [11:39] I need to read Real crap video files with mplayer but mplayer missing some libs such as "drv4.so.6.0" and so on, where I could get them ? [11:39] maxb:: yup, sadly, seeing if I can install dpkg easier than finding "ar" atm [11:40] is 9.5gb partition enough for storing my ubuntu?

[11:46] what is locked updates?? [11:47] tijucas: That terminology is not familiar to me, in which program do you see it? [11:47] can anyone tell me the significance of belocs-locales-bin ? It apparently conflicts with base-config, which I don't see anywhere, and everything seems to want to remove it. Is it safe to remove? [11:47] i'm trying to update system and there are some locked updates [11:47] tijucas: packages that will not be updated in a "dist-upgrade" [11:47] hum.. [11:47] Ademan: Which version of Ubuntu are you using? [11:47] i'm using jaunty.. [11:48] testing it.. [11:48] maxb: i'm on intrepid [11:48] tijucas: try #ubuntu+1 [11:48] Huh, I thought the belocs-locales-bin migration was in Jaunty, guess I was mistaken [11:48] jrib: what is the full path for the install ? is it http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/ or do i need to go further ? [11:49] fosco_: i just wanna know what is it. the system is ok :) [11:49] im a bit confused as i had the items on my dhcp server but it has not picked them up for whatever reason and now wants to go to the internet [11:49] tijucas: sometimes a package is "hold" for various reasons, security, estability, user demand... [11:49] maxb: ah, hehe, I did something horribly evil and enabled jaunty for a second to get python 2.6. it sounds like that's coming back to haunt me huh? [11:50] JessicaParker: I don't know. I'd start with just http://archive.ubuntu.com first and work up [11:50] jrib: a lot of paths - does anyone else have any ideas ? [11:50] maxb: so in jaunty belocs-locales-bin is being phased in? I guess I could try just letting it die for the moment, and see what happens... haha [11:51] Ademan: phased *out* [11:51] JessicaParker: 4 is a lot? :o [11:51] JessicaParker: anyway it's most likely archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu, but like I said there aren't many to try... [11:51] JessicaParker: Are you asking what URL should appear in your apt sources.list? [11:51] i suppose i dont understand what type of target file it needs ? there is more than 4 as you keep drilling http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/20070308ubuntu40/images/ [11:51] maxb: ah, what's replacing it? base-config? or nothing at all?

[11:51] apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libglib2.0-data libglib2.0-0 [11:52] network install im doing [11:52] tarfart: you already have gtk2 by default [11:52] Ademan: uhm. 'locales'? maybe?

[11:52] hydra [11:52] tarfart: that's a horrible, horrible name lol... but what are you trying to do? you should have gtk+ by default unless you're using a server install [11:52] make says i dont have gtk2.0 [11:52] JessicaParker: Everything up to, but *not* including /dists/ [11:52] tarfart: you are compiling something? [11:52] tarfart: are you trying to compile something from source? [11:52] yes [11:53] yes [11:53] you'll need the -dev versions [11:53] tarfart: apt-cache search -n lib gtk dev [11:53] libgtk2.0-dev [11:53] libglib2.0-dev [11:53] got that [11:53] why is it failing [11:53] tarfart: look closer... [11:53] do you have libgtk2.0-dev? that's quite different from libglib2.0-dev [11:53] tarfart: libglib is not libgtk [11:53] hey i am installing ubuntu over32 GB along with vista so can anyone tell me how to allocate the whole 32 Gb automatically.. i am not getting that option [11:54] so what do i have to type to make it work [11:54] maxb: ok now its asking for main directory ?

[11:55] Ademan: probably.... anyway are you back to pure intrepid sources in sources.list now? Then use apt-show-versions to identify whether which of the packages you've got installed are not intrepid ones [11:55] Ademan ,actuallty i prefer apt [11:56] jrib: yea i pastbined that [11:56] tarfart: yes, now go back and read the last 20 lines said to you. You don't have libgtk2.0-dev. [11:56] jrib w32codecs pacakges from medibuntu has been done for i386, will it works with my 64bits system ?

[11:57] ok [11:57] JessicaParker: Oh. I guess it wants "archive.ubuntu.com", and "/ubuntu". I've never used that installer [11:57] so how do i install it ? [11:57] same error [11:57] tarfart: how did you install the other packages? [11:58] its a network insgtall [11:58] Jabka: well, dpkg-query -s ntfs-3g would work, but you don't have the livecd anyways so that's useless lol [11:58] i suppose if i could understand the target file it was trying to get then i can make sure the path location is ok [11:58] does ClamAV do smart scans, that is only scan the files that have changed since the last scan? [11:58] maxb: thanks i'll take a crack at that [11:59] JessicaParker: are you sure it is resolving archive.ubuntu.com correctly? how? [11:59] hey i have started the ubuntu installation...can anyone tell me how to save the resizing of partition so that i can exit and save later on [12:00] JessicaParker: also you might want to consider using .archive.ubuntu.com [12:00] Ademan , well there are many options when you have the actual media but im googleing for the last 30 min and can't find the list ;-( [12:00] http://rafb.net/p/zqBY3W27.html it's still not working [12:00] i got it from http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/libgtk2.0-0/download [12:00] tarfart: why are you using dpkg to install debs? Do you know about apt? [12:01] Jabka: hrm, you'd think there'd be a list somewhere, but I'm not seeing one either... [12:01] it returns an error with the country code as well [12:01] jrib: it's not in apt [12:01] O_o [12:01] im not sure even if it can access the internet [12:01] as i just managed to do the initial install over the server [12:01] Ademan , i guess in the end ill find the SVN that hold the cd creator [12:01] tarfart: it is in apt... apt just installs debs from the same place you got that one. What ubuntu version are you using? [12:01] i will surf some more and see if i can find something [12:01] thanks [12:02] jrib: why do you need to know this anyways? you can always install packages from the livecd if it's not there. (but i'm pretty sure recent versions of ubuntu's livecd have ntfs-3g support) [12:02] the latest [12:02] !version | tarfart [12:02] tarfart: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [12:02] ah sorry jrib, i meant Jabka [12:03] see above Jabka, I'm pretty sure recent livecds have ntfs-3g and if they don't you can actually install packages in livecds (obviously it's not permanent though) [12:04] tarfart: you are breaking your install if you are installing hardy packages on a machine that's not hardy. Please read the link from ubottu on properly installing software [12:04] !software > tarfart [12:04] tarfart, please see my private message [12:04] Ademan , well the problem is that there is a software raid (don't have a clue what it mean) and to even accses the drive you have to clean the NTFS drive (using ntfs-3g) [12:04] hello [12:04] hi, is there any way to pipe the stdout of a terminal program over the net to a listening server type device? [12:05] You could always look at http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/livefs-build-logs/ [12:05] Jabka: access which drive? [12:05] dbu: netcat I guess [12:05] he can anyone tell me the commands used to clean disk errors [12:05] hey can anyone tell me the commands used to clean disk errors [12:05] PerryArmstrong: fsck [12:05] Adema , the HDD [12:06] how I can see HDD status? [12:06] !fsck | PerryArmstrong [12:06] PerryArmstrong: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [12:06] Ademan , the HDD i wish to repar (had ubuntu installed) === gunblade is now known as GunbladeIV [12:06] PerryArmstrong , what FS ? [12:06] PerryArmstrong: did you mean fsck? [12:06] Vladimir, USE "DF" command [12:07] Vladimir , for hardware related use hdparm === john is now known as Guest19755 [12:07] i am trying to install ubuntu and i am not able to allocate the size saying that the space is unallocatable [12:07] hello folks [12:07] Thanks. === Talker is now known as Guest95427 [12:08] PerryArmstong , perheps wrong parrioning ? using more then 4 primary parttions ?

[12:11] screw it, i'm upgrading to jaunty at some point anyways, might as well go now, and if I run into any issues at least I can provide some bug reports... wish me luck guys [12:11] hi guys [12:11] Guest95427: install teh proper nvidia drivers and run the nvidia-settings tool and configure the monitors. [12:12] Jabka: I'm not sure ntfs-3g can do any fixing/checking - I think it just tells you to check the drive in Windows if it's marked dirty [12:12] I've been having many problems with the ubuntu's boot [12:12] i think i have installed the right drivers........ [12:12] where do i find the tool? [12:12] NOW whats wrong with apt http://rafb.net/p/jqtkiW90.html [12:12] Guest95427: run it from the command line. is one way to launch it.

[12:17] Guest95427: if the driver works then you are 1/2 way there.. I would suggest backing Up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and trying that nvidia-settings tool [12:17] Hello [12:17] any1 know how i can get this notebook remix work? :P [12:17] on 8.10 [12:17] it have that center desktop thing working, but bottom and top bars randmoly disappears === suvi is now known as racle [12:18] Jabka; not yet installed..already ubuntu was installed but now i swiped about partitions and i am installing anew [12:19] dr_willis: backup done! still dont know how to run that tool [12:20] Guest95427: type its name in a terminal [12:20] Guest95427: if its installed.. [12:20] PerryArmstrong , try the next , write down the sizes start and end of all parttions remove some (to make a large continus block) create one extended now use the old values and crete the parttions that wore before (start sector end sector etc .. ) then create the new extra parttions [12:21] Guest95427: or it may have a menu item somewhere.. if its installed [12:21] jrib: do you have any examples of netcat in use, + do you have any experience of piping tcpdump over it? [12:21] someone really needs to note it somewhere that if you change your password while using encrypted home, the key doesn't sync with the password and you can't login [12:21] dr_willis: if that is not automatically installed with the driver, then its not... [12:21] PerryArmstrong , how many parttions do you have now ? (size and type) [12:21] Guest95427: no idea.. check and see.. if its not installed then install it.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [12:23] Math1s, that is not necessary [12:23] does ClamAV do smart scans, that is only scan the files that have changed since the last scan?

[12:23] Guest95427: no idea.. TRY IT and see. [12:24] Guest95427: im not in ubuntu so i cant hold your hand.. try the stuff.. you backed up the xorg.conf so you can easially undo anything that changes it. [12:25] Doc: since when have you ever held anyone's hand? :) [12:25] Guest95427: with the nvidia-settings tool You can easially enable the other monitors and twinview and confiogure/tweak things..

[12:27] is thar a good IRC noobi site or chanial? [12:27] dbu: didn't that link I gave you do exactly that? [12:28] jrib: no, because I can not store the file on the device first... [12:28] as it will use up all available diskspace--- [12:28] dbu: the file is being fed as stdin, so feed the output of your command instead... [12:28] where does ubuntu store samba shares created with nautilus?

[14:23] ma1 which partition [14:23] scunizi, has the Nvidia 9600 GSM [14:23] scunizi, yes, it's a laptop. :) [14:23] space_cadet: unfortunatly I don't have all the model numbers memorized.. [14:24] thanks [14:24] bazhang: it was and additional partition [14:24] an^ [14:24] space_cadet: which restricted driver is currently in use? [14:24] 177 [14:24] I tried using "zip skole.zip Skole" but the zip is empty when I open it :S It only contains the folder "Skole" not the folders in it.. [14:24] ma1, i had to reformat and start all over with the same issue [14:24] RiotingPacifist2, I'm wondering if there's some problem with firefox rather than with ubuntu. It's just that the literal IPv6 addy in the url gets no activity and no error message from firefox [14:25] shiloh7: no other solution? [14:25] RiotingPacifist2, I do need to use ping6 -I eth0 for the ping command to work... so I have a slight suspicion that something route-y might be amiss [14:25] ma1, wait for others to respond please, dont take my advice im learning [14:26] shiloh7: ok... [14:26] kim_bruning: do you have any other browsers to compare against? epiphany, konqueror,? [14:26] space_cadet: I've seen mixed results with the 177. I can't use it at all my self on a desktop with onboard nvidia 8200.. If you add the medibuntu repositories you'll have access to the 180.x driver.. you might try that. If that doesn't work then hand installing their latest MIGHT work [14:26] scunizi, i posted this bug, but no one has even looked at it yet. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/342807 [14:26] RoitingPacifist2, try iceweasle [14:26] in apt, Installed-Size: 15384 [14:26] ma1: boot up a live cd and fix your /etc/fstab on the ubuntu partition (ie not the one in the live environment) [14:26] everyone help hjbolide [14:26] bytes or kb? [14:26] shiloh7, iceweasle is just the debian version of firefox [14:26] jrib: i'm now on the live cd [14:26] scunizi, will the 180 drivers break my X server? [14:27] ma1: k, then proceed... [14:27] jrib: but how do icheck the uuid's? [14:27] !uuid | ma1 [14:27] ma1: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [14:27] titan, :) thank you, wasnt sure they were the SAME thing. :) [14:27] i was not paying attention so who said that they had stuff with 8.10 and wpa2 enterprise? [14:27] shiloh7, I missed the beginning of the convo but if the concern is the new vulnerability found in firefox, I am guessing that it is also present in iceweasel [14:27] other than me [14:27] is anyone else having an issue with kde packages? i can't upgrade 26 packages, all are related to kde. i'm using intrepid [14:27] what about grub? [14:27] Titan8990, you are correct sir [14:27] :) [14:28] ma1: /boot/grub/menu.lst [14:28] anyone using 9300M gs？ [14:28] Because I know that when I was back in the dev chain and 9.04 installed automagically, i didn't have nvidia drivers because they conflicted with X... Has that problem been resolved? [14:28] ma1: on the install of course, not the live cd [14:28] space_cadet: shouldn't.. when you add the repo then it will show up in the restricted drivers manager like the others.

[14:30] scunizi I was using intrepid when it was alpha, because it supported my Atheros [14:30] jrib: what about grub? i tried that... previously my / was /sda8 now it is /sda7 , so i changed the menu.lst to hd0,6 from hd0,7 , but i got the grub error 17... so i guess if i change the uuids in the fstab all will be solved? [14:30] * jrib sighs. I give on this channel [14:30] kim_bruning: other than checking other browsers the only way i can think of getting usefull information is to use wireshark and see what firefox is doing?

[14:31] space_cadet: then you are on intrepid with a weird video problem.. add the medibuntu repos and try the 180 driver [14:32] and the problem is come back [14:32] RiotingPacifist2, that could be a good idea [14:32] scunizi: excuse me, could I take you a few minutes? [14:32] which version of vmware-server runs on 8.10 with no issues? i was able to run it, but web interface dont show well on firefox 3.07 [14:32] hi. I just installed my printer. now when i send a test page, I get a notification globe saying that authentication is required for printing. I click it and get a dialog box with one text field labeled "none" where I guess I am supposed to write something to authenticat. I already tried username and password, but it didn't work. any ideas?

[14:35] !medibuntu [14:35] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [14:35] scunizi: I've tried that driver, also cannot get me into X [14:36] ubottu: i have just install libpat1,libpat1-dev, libexpat-ocaml, libexpat-ocaml-dev but i have no libexpat.so.0 in /lib/ directory [14:36] i need help with doing dual monitors [14:36] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:36] can anone help me [14:36] hjkhkhk [14:36] nitro_man: I'll try to help.

[14:37] question : i had Debian & XP , then i didnt format my 180 gb harddisk , i just installed Ubuntu to that 180gb space , can it occur any problem? [14:37] scunizi: the restricted drivers? [14:37] nitro_man: is this to connect to your employer's network? [14:37] scunizi: both 173 and 177 cannot driver my card [14:37] problem: there's no package for l2tp, and my prov requires l2tp to connect [14:38] hjbolide: no.. you'd disable the restricted drivers and it should automatically put you back at nv.. check though, in xorg.conf to make sure "nvidia" was replaced with "nv". [14:38] Level15, could have gotten lucky [14:38] is it possible to change the hotkeys to change workspace? [14:38] hjbolide: you may also have to restart x with ctrl+alt+backspace [14:38] scunizi: thanks for your replies, I'll give it to try, thanks [14:39] question : i had Debian & XP , then i didnt format my 180 gb harddisk , i just installed Ubuntu to that 180gb space , can it occur any problem? [14:40] tq|Memphis: is the whole drive 180GB? [14:40] Riotingpacifist: does wireshark actually handle ipv6 traffic? [14:40] theshadow: yes its [14:40] tq|Memphis: did you install it under XP? [14:40] tq|Memphis: nope.. installing ubuntu there means that ubuntu did the formatting needed.. the only thing in question is if you now have two swap partitions on you system [14:40] Hello [14:40] tq|Memphis: if you installed ubuntu to the entire 180GB hard drive then chances are you don't have XP any more. [14:40] theshadow: no [14:40] tq|Memphis: did ubuntu format your harddisk? [14:41] dronix: i want to know that [14:41] tq|Memphis: are you in ubuntu now? [14:41] theshadow: yes i'm [14:41] tq|Memphis: can you reboot into XP? [14:41] tq|Memphis: if you selected the entire guided option, then it formated you disk, no more xp [14:41] mdinstuhl: i can not [14:41] then it's formatted if it installed to that partition [14:41] What is a really good way to backup an entire Ubuntu Server machine? (I didn't install Ubuntu Server, I installed regular) [14:41] tq|Memphis: well if you open a terminal and type du -h it will tell you the disk usage [14:42] that's a secret [14:42] theshadow: checking [14:43] tq|Memphis: actually you may want to do an fdisk check... I can't remember the flags to list the partitions [14:43] Guys, I need help with my screen configuration [14:43] theshadow: tq|Memphis fdisk -l [14:43] i just wanted remove Debian and XP and install Ubuntu to my whole harddisk [14:43] scunizi: thanks!

What I can change? === duni is now known as fire_fox [14:46] scunizi: thanks [14:46] tq|Memphis: theshadow np :) [14:46] good morning [14:46] I want to configure my nVidia Corporation GeForce 7050 PV / nForce 630a (rev a2) to give me a 1440x900 [14:47] rovelar: first .. have you enabled the restricted driver in System>Admin>Hardware Drivers? [14:47] scunizi: Yes. It's done [14:47] rovelar: and after you did that did you reboot? [14:48] scunizi: Yes. I reboot and now I have the Nvidia drivers installed too. [14:49] scunizi: I can reach 1024x768 as a maximun [14:49] rovelar: too? by enabling the restricted driver that is installing the nvidia drivers.. did you also download and install the one from nvidia's site? [14:50] anyone ever used an external projector on a MacBook 3.1 aka Santa Rosa running Ubuntu? [14:50] No. I just installed what it said. But now I have a thing that say Nvidia XServe settings,. [14:50] I'm googling but can't find anything really useful for now... [14:50] scunizi: No. I just installed what it said. But now I have a thing that say Nvidia XServe settings,. [14:50] rovelar: that "thing" is it in System>Admin === arvind_k is now known as arvind_khadri [14:51] Yes my friend [14:51] rovelar: have you opened it? [14:51] scunizi: Yes my friend [14:51] Weird...anyone else notice the forums are updating? [14:52] hi, I want to copy some files from my dvdwriter to my hard, but i have problem with some errors ( Input/Output error) any body know that what is the reason? [14:52] scunizi: I wll. right now. === stoffepojken_ is now known as stoffepojken [14:52] hi [14:52] rovelar: you should be able to set the settings in there. [14:52] anyone here have an ipcop firewall box? [14:52] hi, I want to copy some files from my dvdwriter to my hard, but i have problem with some errors ( Input/Output error) any body knows that what is the reason? [14:52] is it a protected video dvd? [14:53] scunizi: X Server display info says that I have a CRT monitor. I dont have this. Ihave a LCD monitor. [14:53] lwizardl: no [14:53] Ehsan_mahmoudi, hmm onlything i could think of then is maybe the disk is scratched [14:54] lwizardl: it contains some .deb Packages [14:54] can someone tell me how to rip an TS-(Transport Stream) with debian? [14:54] rovelar: there's part of your issue.. you need to tell it lcd [14:54] Ehsan_mahmoudi, was it wrote from a user other than the one your using? [14:54] scunizi: Ok... where I can put this info? [14:54] i've had a few files fail from that I wasn't the owner and it wouldn't let me copy it [14:55] my /boot is only 100mb, and it has filled up ... there are several kernel versions in there. How do I trim it down so that only the latest kernel is installed? [14:55] my system is single user [14:55] scunizi if you want to reach higher resolution you should install nvidia-settings [14:55] my dvd is too clean! and no problem on windows [14:56] hmm not sure then sorry [14:56] lwizardl: thanks [14:56] Ehsan_mahmoudi: do you get a more detailed error, or is "input/output error" all [14:57] oCean_: no, just input/Output ! [14:57] rovelar: I'm not really sure. [14:57] cristi__: I don't === eric_ is now known as Etherael [14:58] do you know any manner to exchange file names form lowercase to uppercase? [14:58] scunizi: Oki.. Actually, I loose my self here. [14:58] Lets say you have a home network with a bunch of various computers on it, with various partitions... is there any way to aggregate the space all up together into one redundant filesystem that is auto duplicated between the hosts? [14:58] you should because i use nvidia and my best resolution was 800x600 now i can get 1600x1200 [14:58] Ehsan_mahmoudi: In output? [14:58] Ehsan_mahmoudi: or on filesystem [14:58] cristi__: I don't have a resolution problem [14:59] oCean_: no! it's a different question! [14:59] Ehsan_mahmoudi, man rename [14:59] you have because all you can get is 124x768 [14:59] Ehsan_mahmoudi: ok. Then use "tr" command [14:59] cristi__: I have resolution problem [14:59] cristi__: I don't know what you're talking about. [14:59] oCean_: how? [14:59] for all files in a directory [15:00] rename 'y/a-z/A-Z/' * [15:00] you sey that your best resoulution is 124x768 [15:00] Ehsan_mahmoudi, read what I just said ;-) [15:00] Ehsan_mahmoudi: like "echo test | tr [a-z] [A-Z]" === Guest38122 is now known as JOKER1 [15:00] cristi__: Yes [15:00] oCean_, no. you use rename. man rename [15:00] rovelar: he's lost.. ignore him [15:00] kim_bruning: no, he claims it's a diff question, not about filesystem [15:00] Cripps, 1024x768 [15:01] oCean_, he says he wants to rename all files in a directory. How is that not done by rename? :-) [15:01] scunizi so when i add the medibuntu repo, should the 180 driver just pop up in the hardware drivers list, or do i have to synaptic for it? [15:01] does ubuntu come with a firewall that i could install? [15:01] kim_bruning: yes! [15:01] rovelar: open a terminal and type xrandr and you should get a list of supported resolutions.. is your desired resolution listed? [15:01] Ehsan_mahmoudi: so why do you say it's a different question? [15:01] space_cadet: you have to "refresh" the repos [15:02] sudo apt-get update? [15:02] xrander huh? [15:02] space_cadet: yes.. that will work too [15:02] lrvick: xrandr [15:02] dixon2081, the linux kernel has a built in firewall, which you can configure using iptables. I don't know of any nice gui software to access it, but I'm pretty sure that does exist [15:02] hi, yesterday i reinstalled ubuntu, and mounted the home partition, and since then my user is reseted to default (all old data nowhere to be found), but gparted and nautilus shows, that there are 70gb used [15:02] he he... now i have proof this thing is actually running 2048x1536 res [15:02] but it's not about my last question! [15:02] dixon2081, smart ubuntu people often try to simply make sure they don't have any ports open to begin with :-) [15:02] :D [15:03] i had to install nosquint and increase font sizes ^_^ [15:03] Ehsan_mahmoudi, so is your question answered now? [15:03] dixon2081, so you might be able to narrow your search using that information :-) [15:03] kim_bruning: no! i'm now confused! [15:03] kim_bruning: smart admins in general even. [15:03] kim_bruning: man or tr? [15:03] here goes. [15:04] a friend of mine was helping me figure out my webcam, and he is in canada, but was able to access my OS mainframe and able to manupulate it in a good way, i did nothing to install a firewall, and have been trying to figure out how to install a firewall [15:04] space_cadet: you doing all this from terminal? [15:04] Ehsan_mahmoudi: the "tr" is only for manipulating output. Just use rename or move for changing filenames on the filesystem [15:04] Ehsan_mahmoudi, rename! [15:04] Ehsan_mahmoudi, why do you want tr? [15:04] hey all [15:05] trying to dual screen any suggestions? [15:05] Ehsan_mahmoudi, or did you want to use tr to rename files? [15:05] lrvick: do you run two monitors? [15:05] bromic94, 1 graphics card with 2 outputs, or 2 graphics cards? [15:05] scunizi: nope just one 22 inch crt [15:05] lrvick: nice [15:05] scunizi: that is what xorg7.3 put it at by default [15:05] bromic94, I solved it for an nvidia with 2 outputs :-) [15:05] mouse cursor was a salt spec... it was halarious [15:06] lrvick: what kind of 22"? [15:06] kim_bruning: oh! look! i hame many files in adirectory that i want to renmae these files form lowercase to uppercase by single command. ok? now what is my answer? :D [15:06] hame=have! [15:06] bromic94, you need twinview [15:06] i found how to install the firewall, thanks for the help [15:06] scunizi: sony multiscan e540 [15:06] Ehsan_mahmoudi, FINE, dude, pay attention, I answered several times [15:07] Trinitron* [15:07] Ehsan_mahmoudi, rename 'y/a-z/A-Z/' * [15:07] bromic94: with nvidia use nvidia-settings.. it's a no brainer.. ati or other's .. not sure [15:07] Ehsan_mahmoudi, will rename all files from lower case to upper case :-) [15:07] Ehsan_mahmoudi, (in the current directory) [15:07] Ehsan_mahmoudi, will that do? [15:07] kim_bruning: thanks a lot! [15:07] Ehsan_mahmoudi, at least, if you don't mind using the command line :) [15:07] scunizi: i have ati i believe [15:07] lrvick: they are getting cheaper these days.. I've always like the dual monitor setup with xinerama. [15:08] :-* [15:08] bromic94: sorry can't help you there. [15:08] and there's xinerama [15:08] bc it said restricted drivers ati/amd proprietary FGLRX graphics drivesr [15:08] does anyone know if it's easy to combine xinerama and twinview? [15:08] :-) [15:08] any has any suggestions [15:08] bromic94: if you are using nvidia drivers or open source drivers the resolution configuration tool that ships with ubuntu can usually change multiscreen settings on the fly. Used it out of the box on several systems for multi-monitors. You can even add and remove screens without restarting x easily. [15:08] bromic94, oh dear. ATI [15:08] I added in /etc/samba/smb.conf a line: "log level = 3". But why does the command "~$ smbclient \\\\MD97600\\freigegebenMD -U -W MSHOME" issued on computer T42 in the same LAN still not reflect in /var/log/samba/log.t42? [15:08] kim_bruning: it's one or the other [15:08] lrvick, oh geeze :-) [15:09] scunizi: Ive never payed more than 20$ for a monitor. I love goodwill. [15:09] scunizi, so I can't have 2 nvidia cards and 4 monitors? [15:09] In fact I just threw away about 35 monitors I could no longer store. [15:09] kim_bruning: sure [15:09] hello ! [15:09] he he [15:09] why I must chose ubuntu ? [15:10] xconvergex, discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here [15:10] xconvergex: Ubuntu is just one choice. there are lots of great distros. [15:10] kim_bruning or lrvick can you help me with ati? [15:10] xconvergex: because the "force" will be with you [15:10] scunizi, Ah okay... I'll have to try that sometime in my copious free time then, (when I have copious free cash ;-) ) [15:10] scunizi: I have not idea where to move my friend [15:10] I have 3 distros on my desk spread over 6 computers. [15:10] scunizi, the source? ::-P [15:11] rovelar: did you try xrandr in a terminal? [15:11] where is the PATH environment variable stored within my home folder? [15:11] i don't seem to have a .bash_profile [15:11] bromic94: well let me consult the google for you... [15:11] kim_bruning: ? [15:11] daftykins, nowhere... but you might have a .bashrc :-) [15:11] daftykins, ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile [15:11] yes: and result in many things [15:11] scunizi, nm [15:11] k [15:11] Hi - There is a little app in Wundows Power Toys named Move To / Copy To - Is there something like that I could use in Ibex (running Gnome) ? ? Terminal - not sure of commands ? ? [15:12] how do i find what graphics card i have? [15:12] rovelar: should have been a list of resolutions available. was the one you want listed? [15:12] scunizi: 1024x768 the higher [15:12] daftykins, if you have none of the above, you can make a ~/.bashrc and put in export PATH="whateverwhatever" [15:12] smarter is [15:12] scunzi: No. I nedd 1440x900 [15:12] rovelar: ah.. sorry I just saw your pm.. I'm on irssi and it's not always evident when you get a pm [15:12] what is Linux' autoexec.bat? [15:12] ".profile" contains PATH settings but it's as if they refer to them coming from elsewhere kim_bruning [15:12] export PATH="bla;foo;bar;baz;andwhatever;$PATH" [15:12] daftykins, not sure what you mean :-) [15:13] rovelar: hang on a sec [15:13] daftykins, in any case, path is a variable... you set it :-) [15:13] yeah i'm trying to locate where it's created [15:13] daftykins, a bit like autoexec.bat in dos ;-) [15:13] daftykins, except unix is a tad more sophisticated. :-) [15:13] yeah i know what it does but i'm not sure what defines it to begin with [15:13] ah! [15:13] scunizi: Ok. [15:13] okay [15:13] daftykins, try pstree :-) [15:13] bromic94: http://hamzakc.wordpress.com/2006/10/16/dual-monitor-setup-ubuntu-ati/ give that a shot for starters [15:14] daftykins, your shell inherits stuff from wherever you started from :-) [15:14] daftykins, but I'll wager it starts off at /etc/profile [15:14] daftykins, so take a look there first [15:14] yeah i've been in there [15:14] let me read it :) [15:14] rovelar: try xrandr -q and see if the 1440 rez shows up there. [15:14] my svn build of gimp is almost done! [15:14] * lrvick dances [15:14] lrvick, ooooohhh... living on the edge, are we? ;-) [15:15] helloo i used windows for a while and in control panel says that i have 512 ram but in ubuntu is 510 ram why? [15:15] lrvick: let me download the updated driver [15:15] from ati first and then do that [15:15] cewex cute [15:15] cristi__: windows ate the other 2 bytes [15:15] helloo i used windows for a while and in control panel says that i have 512mb ram but in ubuntu is 510mb ram why? [15:15] cristi__, that depends on a large number of factors... :) [15:15] kim_bruning: they just added brush rotation support in the svn trunk. that is HUGE. Random brush rotation.... [15:15] * lrvick swoons [15:15] scunizi: 1152x864 [15:15] sorry offtopic [15:15] lol [15:15] lrvick, what can you do with that? ;-) [15:16] * kim_bruning is curious [15:16] hi, yesterday i reinstalled ubuntu, and mounted the home partition, and since then my user is reseted to default (all old data nowhere to be found), but gparted and nautilus shows, that there are 70gb used [15:16] rovelar: interesting.. [15:16] god-mok, make sure you actually mounted the right home partition? [15:17] scunizi: Really unusual [15:17] god-mok, OR! Things might not be set up right with permissions [15:17] kim_bruning: yeah [15:17] kim_bruning: not the first time i did it [15:17] god-mok, so maybe your user is looking in the wrong home directory, or doesn't have the right permissions [15:17] What is easiest way to "Move" a folder to another partition ? ? [15:17] god-mok, could have gone randomly wrong just this once. (say hello to murphy ;-) ) [15:17] rovelar: try .. xrandr -s 1440x900@50 [15:17] When I search for packages in Sybapic, nothing shows. Any one who have experienced this before? [15:17] kim_bruning: well I will be making a brush full of about 100 bits of random code. Thanks to the new brush dynamics (now hopefulyl with working rotation) I will be abel to randomly paint code 9or anything for that matter) each bit being laced in a random spit, with random rotation, and random size. You could for instance create a simple brush with just 2 or three leaves in it... and turn on the brush drnamics and create a fall scene in seconds. [15:17] swayed, drag and drop? mv ? [15:17] photoshop eat your heart out [15:18] rovelar: if I got the numbers wrong correct them [15:18] lrvick, OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH [15:18] !ot [15:18] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [15:18] kim_bruning: ah, sorry, godmok is my livecd user here :) [15:18] * lrvick hides [15:19] god-mok, Well, before going nuts, try to see if your /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and fstab and the output from mount (with no args) all match up in some sane way [15:19] god-mok ls -l /home too [15:19] kim_bruning; Tried drag n drop - it leaves a copy behind I have to come back and delete - what above using "mv" - not afraid to use Terminal - just not sure what commands ? ? [15:19] scunizi: not found in aviable mode [15:19] rovelar: k.. just a minute [15:19] swayed, well, just delete the copy that was left behind [15:19] swayed, you can also do ctrl-x ctrl-v (like in windows or mac-os) [15:20] swayed, or mv... [15:20] kim_bruning: k, -> boot to normal [15:20] swayed, but when moving between PARTITIONS.... it doesn't really matter, since you need to copy and delete anyway [15:20] kim_bruning; ok will lookup how to use mv shell - thx [15:20] swayed, all the move commands just do a copy and delete :-) [15:20] swamptin, mv in shell works just about the same as cp :-) [15:21] swayed, mv can sometimes be optimised when moving inside the same partition. (it just changes the directory entries :-) ) [15:21] swayed, but cross-partition you can't make any assumptions :-) [15:21] is there a commant to tell the mount point of the path given? [15:21] swayed, so even drag and drop and then delete works fine. You won't save much time using other methods :-P [15:21] kim_bruning; Your say even I use the - mv - shell it will still leave a copy behind? [15:21] Hello, can any of you help me? [15:21] hey i am trying to install ubuntu in my friends lappy and it shows the starting of partitioner and stops at 46% and i am not able to continue installation....any idea?? [15:22] Ubuntu 8.10, BC4311 wireless - installed restricted driver (b43) and wireless card not in ifconfig output after reboot. (was working after installing driver before reboot.) What am I missing? [15:22] kim_bruning; Yea gottcha - Life is hard enough already - right? [15:22] PerryArmstrong, check the md5, do the disk integrity check after burning iso at very low speed [15:22] rovelar: try .. xrandr --addmode S-video 1440x900 [15:23] swayed, no, it will copy the file, and then delete the original :-P [15:23] bazhang;; so thats a cd problem?? [15:23] PerryArmstrong, could be a bad burn or a corrupt iso [15:23] PerryArmstrong : try another ubuntu cd or clean the existing cd it may be damaged or dirty [15:23] I can't run any 3d things, I suppose it's because of a driver issue but when I check the drivers panel it says there is nothing there. [15:23] swayed, so that does work. It's just not gonna gain you much. [15:23] scunizi: cannot find output "S-video" [15:23] !md5 | PerryArmstrong [15:23] PerryArmstrong: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [15:23] Lint: When you do a "df ." it will show the filesystem and mountpoint of your current directory [15:24] I clicked Hardware drivers but nothing happened. :( [15:24] swayed, OTOH if you're reorganizing several gigabytes of data on the same partition, mv is your friend ;-) [15:24] hi, [15:24] oCean_, cheat! ;-) [15:24] farhad_hf, helo! [15:24] kim_bruning; Yo0u said one key word there " speed " - Was trying find a quicker solution - moving some movie .avi files and it takes longer then I like - no biggy - just impatient! :o) [15:25] rovelar: we're getting closer.. I'm looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution and the thing you might need to do is xrandr -newmode but it doesn't say how to create a [15:25] swayed, Right. want the lowdown? === Andre_Gondim-afk is now known as Andre_Gondim [15:25] bazhang; thank you very much [15:25] swayed, when you move some movie .avi files inside the same partition use ctrl-x , ctrl-v or use mv [15:25] scunizi: look at xorg.conf [15:25] swayed, because then it's actually faster [15:25] kim_bruning; yea I always like tid-bits that are helpful..... [15:25] PerryArmstrong, if none of those work, then you may wish to try some different bootoptions [15:26] scunizi: Yes.. It's what we have... let's see what's happens. [15:26] swayed, when going BETWEEN partitions... there's no gain to be had... partitions might be different filing systems, different disks, different computers, even different operating systems... there's no way to tell [15:26] swayed, so all the commands apply the most stupid method possible ;-) [15:26] scunizi: If I give you my email... You can tell me if you found something..? [15:26] kim_bruning, This is actually a separate FAT32 partition on the same drive. [15:26] swayed, and that's slow :-P [15:26] which package do I need to install for the new nvidia driver? [15:27] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions PerryArmstrong [15:27] swayed, yup.. so that'll use the slow method [15:27] ive been trying to install with wubi on averatec 3200 series laptop, it wont boot in because of wireless firmware on the reboot, it takes me to command prompt i run the command to get the firmware with it wired to the network with a cable, it seems to install the firmware successfuly then nothing [15:27] kim_bruning, Well something you gotta live with I guess...... :o( [15:27] fabio: it's not in xorg.. xorg doesn't handle the resolution anymore [15:27] i have ubuntu 8.10 and i'm tring to install nvidia driver , i used envyng to install it , after installing driver login manager didnt start , i installed linux-source and linux-headers and downloaded the driver and tried again to install , but nvidia-installer gives me this error: (kernel : 2.6.27-7-generic) http://pastebin.com/f63ae5c88 any ideas? [15:28] fabio: at least in xorg.conf [15:28] tha's what i meant [15:28] there are several xrandr front to handle with [15:28] |nvidia [15:28] !nvidia [15:28] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:28] nwbe question...tried to install pluggin to exaile in order to stream but it says I need libshout 2 but libshout 3 is installed. What do I need to do [15:28] gnome-randr-applet [15:28] kim_bruning, Kinda like little ol ladies at Stop that are afraid to make right turn huh? [15:28] swayed, The trick is to not use win32 partitions [15:29] Stop Sign [15:29] swayed, yeah, something like that [15:29] grandr or even arandr to name a few [15:29] fabio: in the repos?... I know xrandr but that is cli [15:29] scunizi: yes in the repo [15:29] swayed, if you have lots of avi files, across multiple drives... think of using lvm :-) [15:29] how do i capture whats going on in my ubuntu's screen ?? [15:29] fabio: k.. I'll look at that. thanks. [15:30] Kimi_will_the_ra: press the stamp key [15:30] swayed, I drop all my movies and stuff in a great big 3 Terabyte lvm partition across multiple drives :-) [15:30] Kimi_will_the_ra: recordmydesktop [15:30] I mean, how do i capture and save it as A VIDEO /? [15:30] Kimi_will_the_ra, printscreen should wrk [15:30] !info recordmydesktop [15:30] recordmydesktop (source: recordmydesktop): Captures audio-video data of a Linux desktop session.

Version 0.3.7.3-1 (intrepid), package size 52 kB, installed size 152 kB [15:30] ive installed without issue on several other machines, the only distro ive been able to boot into on this machine in any way was goblinx and that wouldnt install or discover wireless [15:30] swayed, though it takes a bit of time to figure out how this lvm works (it's total overkill, as usual...) once you get it it's REALLY simple and easy to use... much handier than traditional partitioning :-) [15:30] kim_bruning, So I'm not too far into this project - I could copy back (only 3 folders) and use gparted and make a different linux partition and it will go faster ? [15:31] swayed, AND you can move files trivially fast :-P [15:31] thanks Actionparnship [15:31] swayed, well, anythings gonna be faster than having multiple win32 partitions ;-) [15:31] ActionParnship is it in synpantic ? [15:31] swayed, but if you're sharing data with windows, you gots no choice ^^;; [15:31] rovelar: fabio pointed out that there are some gui setting tools for randr.. look in synaptic and search for randr and you'll see gnome-randr-applet and grandr at the top of the list.. you might give those a try.. never used them myself. [15:32] Kimi_will_the_ra: sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop [15:32] swayed, and like copying BETWEEN partitions is always SNAFU :-) [15:32] kim_bruning, there is this 169gb partition off the end of this 500gb I'm using right now. [15:32] <[_I> ÕÓÉ [15:32] Kimi_will_the_ra: you can use synaptic if you wish, that command will do it for you though [15:32] ActionParnship but which one to choose from synaptic ? it shows there ?? [15:32] kim_bruning: well, the fstab looks ok. but i got a file named "/etc/passwd-", that looks like the normal, but differs at the end. the same with "/etc/shadow" [15:32] ok [15:32] swayed, meh, prolly not worth it. Unless you have to move avi files very often [15:32] i will try that command [15:32] Kimi_will_the_ra: synaptic is too slow for my taste [15:32] scunizi: Muchas gracias my friend!! [15:32] <[_I> ÃÎÂÍÎ [15:32] god-mok, I think you can ignore those (famous last words) [15:32] sudo apt-get install **** !

[15:33] lrvick: downloaded updated driver and it is working [15:33] pardon, i typed that in the wrong window [15:33] swayed, otoh if you plan to buy more hard drives in the near future... at least you'll have heard of it. :-) [15:33] kim_bruning, nah - just a one time thing - trying too make more room on my 320gb main ext3 linux partition. [15:33] just now need to dwal with the wifi issue [15:33] then i am all set [15:33] rovelar: I hope it works. when it does you'll be a happy camper.. my lappy is only capable of 1280x800.. 14" Del Vostro [15:33] caleb_: np bro [15:33] <[_I> 0100100101010010100101001111011111001111 [15:33] swayed, let's just make a long story short and say that you're stuck copying slowly today [15:33] :D [15:34] swayed, although with lvm you can also dynamically resize partitions in cool ways ;-) [15:34] swayed, Ok, I'll hush about lvm now ;-) [15:34] anyone help for me? [15:34] Nice.. I'm so happy whit this Ubuntu... [15:34] swayed, just take the speed hit for today :-) [15:34] i like the install windows driver for my belkin wireless G pcmci card with chipset Ralink RT2500 [15:34] scunizi: Nice.. I'm so happy whit this Ubuntu... [15:34] kim-bruning, Copy that! heh heh little play on words..... [15:34] swayed, you'd take longer learning how to use lvm today. [15:34] ubuntuNEWUSR, its in the kernel [15:34] scunizi: Just some staff that it's giving a hard time [15:34] swayed, you'd take longer learning lvm than it would take to copy the files :-P [15:35] rovelar: I made the switch about 3 years ago.. when I need it windows now runs in a VM with virtual box. [15:35] any good ebooks on linux for n00bs ? [15:35] swayed, if you were handling a few TB... this would be a different story , of course [15:35] swayed, I guess you need to torrent some more before that becomes a problem :-P [15:35] I love virtual box too. [15:35] swayed: all that siad... lvm is totally worth the lern. [15:35] I'm looking forward to the 9.04 release, installed beta 5 and used ext4, it flies! unsure about the data loss issue though, not sure how they're going to implement it, less avoid using ext4 for your home partition [15:35] kim-bruning; Thats a very very true statement! about learning HowTo lvm etc. [15:35] scunizi: I love virtual box too.

Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [15:38] macman: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/ [15:38] Is there any way to adjust only the y-axis speed on a mouse/trackpad?

[15:40] Jaunty uses PolicyKit [15:40] don't know about packagekit :/ [15:41] magcius: packagekit is in the reposotories [15:41] scunizi: Thanks you! [15:41] scunizi: and good bye!

[15:42] magcius: you can use APT on rpm-based distros as well [15:42] Chousuke, so apt-get is a front-end for apt which is a front-end for dpkg? [15:42] kaski: no it uses deb [15:43] mashman i think that you are in live cd.... not installed wubi.... in wubi you wont get install icon on desktop [15:43] magcius: yes.

APT is a library [15:43] !wubi > mashman [15:43] mashman, please see my private message [15:43] magcius: so it's really just apt-get using the APT library that is a frontend to dpkg [15:44] i like the install windows driver for my belkin wireless G pcmci card with chipset Ralink RT2500 [15:44] mashman to install wubi (install inside windows) you need to put the cd inside WHEN WINDOWS IS RUNNING... and not to boot from cd [15:44] hi there i have jused pluged a new ide hard drive in as slave how can i get ubuntu to detect it?

Please dont repeat. [15:46] mashman then restart computer and enter ubuntu [15:46] mashman it must work fine [15:46] lighttitan: and are you reinstalling the drivers from a TTY with the gui stopped? [15:47] yes I am [15:47] ActionParsnip: it's a bit complicated because apt-* are not the only APT tools. there's also aptitude [15:47] Actionparsnip yo gave recordmydesktop and it wont showup in applications [15:47] vallhalla81: see what command "sudo fdisk -l" outputs... [15:47] Exsaura: check your ram and hard drive are healthy, you could also wait for a hang then when it unhangs, read dmesg | less [15:47] when I reinstall from TTY it also gives me errors stating that drivers were installed another way and it will TRY to remove them as best as it can [15:47] Kimi still have the install icons how can i get rid of it ? and when im trying to install ubuntu there's no root define [15:47] oCean_ it just shows the partitions for sda not the slave [15:48] Chousuke: the site says what apt stands for and the T stands for tool, so it must be a tool [15:48] lighttitan: that's weird.. I've done that several times with no issues.. there is a way to uninstall the nvidia binary driver then try to reinstall again.. also make sure that all nvidia references in synaptic are NOT installed. [15:48] lighttitan: I hate to say it (and you will hate it too) but I have had nothing but grief from using the NVidia closed-source drivers. You're better off running in VESA mode (and, if the NVidia card is one you can remove) take it out and sell it on Ebay.

[15:49] and how can i connect internet using dial up Kimi ? [15:49] ActionParsnip: Wikipedia puts it like this: "There is no single "apt" program; apt is itself the package name containing the set of tools (and requiring the libraries) that support its functionality. A significant part of apt is a C++ library of functions (another package known as libapt) which are used by these related front-end programs" [15:49] vallhalla81: hmm.. The drive is connected correctly I assume [15:50] oCean_ yes that was the first thing i checked [15:50] Chousuke: mines from the official docs, not some 3rd party site [15:50] Zzeiss... VESA drivers don't run 3D acceleration. So no games. Also I have had NO problems running NVidia drivers and can run them now if I want to go with 177... but I want some of the new improvements from 180.29... thanks for your concern though... [15:50] hey guys... anybody ever seen this error at boot up... Using drive 0, partition 3. No O/S === fishsticks is now known as gnubee === farhad_hf_ is now known as farhad_hf [15:50] mashman i dont know that .... sorry :'( [15:50] scunizi, ok I guess I will just keep trying or go back to 177 drivers :( Thanks [15:50] who knows to set up a dial connection on ubuntu ? [15:50] hey guys... anybody ever seen this error at boot up... Using drive 0, partition 3. No O/S ... could this be a grub error? [15:50] oCean_ its a brand new drive do you think i should use a live cd and reformat it? [15:50] |nvidia [15:51] lighttitan: I had to uninstall 173 & 177 drivers from the system before installing the binary blob from nvidia.. otherwise I ended up with similar issues.. [15:51] !dialup [15:51] ActionParsnip: I know it stands for Advanced packaging tool, I'm just telling you the "tool" part doesn't mean what it usually is taken to mean. [15:51] You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [15:51] vallhalla81: well, the formatting can be done in Ubuntu as well [15:51] AH... I will try that then/ Thanks scunizi [15:51] lighttitan: also nvidia-settings needs to go [15:51] Ever since my computer was upgraded in terms of ram, my computer had started jamming. [15:51] i used this howto ^ , and the Xorg didnt start again : http://pastebin.com/f5d44ea0c [15:51] oCean_ yes but gparted couldent detect it in ubuntu [15:51] vallhalla81: you just have to find the device. Does /dev/hdb exist? [15:51] ok Kimi thanks [15:51] ok thanks scunizi [15:51] oCean_ checking [15:52] scunizi, "mark for complete removal" correct? [15:52] !nvidia [15:52] lighttitan: yes [15:52] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:52] can anyone pleae tell me why my ubuntu is not updating [15:52] vallhalla81: Indeed. That's the weird part. I think that there is no /dev/hdb, otherwise "fdisk -l" or gparted would have shown it [15:52] it says that there is something worng with the link [15:52] whats up guys... anyone here have issues installing nvidia drivers with sli setup? after i activate the release 177 gnome wont start... [15:52] how do i compile python 2.5.4 on ubuntu [15:52] i can't play dvd's on hardy anymore, totem gstreamer nor xine backend, even mplayer gives up the error, what other plugin would i need? [15:52] mashman boot in ubuntu then... now you got a link for dialup net [15:53] scunizi, k thanks again. Going to work on it more [15:53] farhad_hf: This is the problem: # [15:53] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!

[15:54] hi everyone [15:54] Hello all. My first time posting on here. I have just purchased about a month ago a new Lithium ion battery for my ZD8000 pavilion laptop. It has been working great....till last night. Suddenly my laptop will not run on battery. The second I unplug my computer shuts down. I don't know if there is anything in the os Ubuntu 8.10 that would block using the battery or not. It is showing 100% charge and I checked my power options....Eve [15:54] rything seems to be normal. Is this a hardware issue, or perhaps a bug? [15:54] Flare-laptop: yes , i see , but how can i solve this problem? [15:54] can anyone pleae help me i just changed something to make my computer update to 8.10 for 8.04 and now nothing is updating and the add or remove program does not work [15:55] i have been screwing with this for 3 days... every time i reinstall and do something different to try to get them to work [15:55] farhad_hf: you have to install the kernel module === ubuntu__ is now known as rnd9 [15:55] oCean_ [ 24.532686] vboxdrv: Trying to deactivate the NMI watchdog permanently... [15:55] How can I adjust only the vertical speed of my trackpad/mouse? I'd assume it's just an Xorg setting? [15:55] Flare-laptop: u mean nvidia-kernel-common? [15:55] i have it [15:55] does anyone know about vmware runing in ubuntu 8.10 i am having a problem getting it up [15:55] farhad_hf: idk [15:55] ziggytob: which vmware? [15:55] gnubee: It's entirely possible that you have a failed battery. I've had 'em. If the battery open-circuits, it will show as fully charged, yet has no power whatsoever. [15:55] emma: think of that channel as being like openbsd ;) [15:55] vallhalla81: ok, that's not relevant [15:56] and lsmod | grep nvidia gives me nothing [15:56] gnubee: do you have a voltmeter to check it with? [15:56] oCean_ i didnt think so [15:56] im not sure which one to use [15:56] is there any way to change the default speller-check for gtk apps? [15:56] I have downloaded some unusual ttf-fonts called "Apocalyse Now.ttf" Where should I put them so I can use them. [15:56] vallhalla81: Also see "sudo lshw -C disk" <-- should give detailed disk info [15:56] i tried lspci command but unable to know which wireless card i have [15:56] emma: maybe you could post it on Ubuntu questions and see if it is appropriate behaviour or not that way [15:56] dinesh_: use pastebin to show the entire output [15:56] !paste | dinesh_ [15:56] dinesh_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [15:57] I have a strange vision of a T-shirt with "Virtualisation Now!" on it! (perhaps living in Cambodia does that to you!) [15:57] hi! i have a nokia n70 how can i see it in ubuntu hardy? i have installed gnome-obex-vfs and the data-server but i cant see it under "places" [15:57] Zseiss, Thanks. This is not good news, 150clams. Yes I could have it checked. [15:57] gnubee: Easy enough to check it yourself. Do you have a voltmeter? [15:57] can anyone please please help me please i dont get it [15:57] oCean_ it only shows my main drive and dvd drive i am going to shut down and re check it all brb [15:57] Yes I have one [15:57] ActionParsnip:actually i am working in windows bcoz i am unable to connect to wireless in ubuntu [15:57] vallhalla81: yes, ok [15:58] gnubee: (matter of fact, the most recent one I had fail was about 4 months old, on a Yaesu ham radio. [15:58] how can i install nvidia kernel modules? [15:58] i dont want bluetooth, just usb-cable connection. [15:58] gnubee: that's what I'd check then. If it shows as low volts (under 2/3 of nominal) it's gone forever. [15:58] !wireless | dinesh_ [15:58] dinesh_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [15:58] ActionParsnip:actually i am working in windows bcoz i am unable to connect to wireless in ubuntu [15:59] i love ubuntu [15:59] and red hat [15:59] fedora [15:59] ziggytob: if you got VMware player or server, both aren't that good, use Virtualbox instead :) [15:59] sebsebseb:yes wireless [15:59] i use it [15:59] Anybody know where their init.d or equivalent scripts are? The upstart web page is *wrong* - there is no such directory. [15:59] Zzeiss, Thank god it's still under warranty. I will check it later. [15:59] it works [15:59] but [15:59] !enter | ziggytob [15:59] ziggytob: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [16:00] do have all the disks [16:00] anyone who uses nokia (or obex) phones with usb cable? [16:00] dinesh_: then output the text to a text file on the ntfs partition [16:00] Zzeiss, /etc/init.d [16:00] how can i see it in ubuntu hardy? i have installed gnome-obex-vfs and the data-server but i cant see it under "places" [16:00] i dont have all of the disks [16:00] ziggytob: disks for what? [16:00] dinesh_: i can strongly suggest you use a wired connection to get updates and config for your wireless [16:00] fearful: Um, sorry, I meant the Upstart scripts. The equivalent of the rc1 through rc6 dirs... [16:01] Actionparsnip : i have to use command sudo apt-get update wl [16:01] Zzeiss, /etc/init.d are the startup scripts. [16:02] hi all..i have a dual boot system running with ubuntu hardy and windows [16:02] ActionParsnip: is i am right [16:02] i now want to reinstall ubuntu [16:02] sorry my question is about vmware running in ubuntu 8.10 i got to the point of it asking me which directory did i want to use [16:02] I just installed intrepid ibex on my computer and something odd is happening. I have a belkin F5D7330 wireless to wired bridge and it can't seem to get past that. I can ping everything before the bridge, and nothing after. Every other computer works just fine. Any ideas? [16:02] intrepid [16:02] dinesh_: then you need a connection, use a wired connection to get full updates and you can also get whatever you need for your wifi [16:02] my cron jobs is not running. does anybody know how to see the error message ? [16:02] I newly installed ubuntu 8.10. If I want to format partition in gparted ntfs is gray. I can not choose that option. I,m missing something? Please help [16:02] Sandip, get alternate and upgrade [16:03] Intrepid's network configuration GUI forgets all my (static route) network information every reboot! WTH? [16:03] !alternate | Sandip [16:03] Sandip: 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 [16:03] hey guys, does ubuntu format its partitions with sun-ufs ?? [16:03] does anybody know how to debug cron jobs ? [16:03] ziggytob: which vmware program, there are a few [16:03] quizme: there are several reasons why it might fail. [16:03] epaphus: I think that file system might be an option [16:03] oCean_: like what ? [16:03] epalm, is that a tool? [16:03] ActionParnsnip: is it not possible to get update for wireless only [16:03] quizme: Is it in your user's cron? Meaning "crontab -l" shows the scheduled job? [16:03] Question: How do I adjust only the vertical acceleration/speed of my mouse? [16:04] quizme: did you read the cron doc ? [16:04] mrclone is the partition unmounted? [16:04] oCean_: i can run it as that user, but it wont' run as a cronjob. :( and i don't know where to find errors. when i put >& errors it doesn't log errors either. [16:04] quizme: the entry itself can be wrong, the script might not be accessible and/or executable, or the script/command is trying to run interactively etc [16:04] sebastien, hi there :) iam trying to modify the grub with the CD.. I got to the part where I select Manual Partitioning.. it shows SCSI 0,0,0 (which is the entire disk) or the second line shows #4 primary 160 GB sun-fs . Those are my only two options. [16:04] mrclone, unmount the partition and then format it [16:05] sebsebseb [16:05] . [16:05] epaphus: let's see you can have ext4, reister, and a few others. yes I think it's probably an option [16:05] epaphus: reiser/murderfs [16:05] not reister [16:05] did anyone face problems trying to update [16:06] dinesh_: you could setup wifi on the wired then do the rest wirelessly, whatever. just get it connected, it'll be so much easier [16:06] if yes did u solve it [16:06] and how please help [16:06] datta: up date to what? [16:06] quizme: Ok. Make it look like this: "/path/to/command >> /tmp/logfile 2>&1" [16:06] sebsebseb, i dont understand.. I only have a sun-fs ... is this not done by ubuntu? should I not select this one to work on?

[16:10] epaphus: partitions availalbe I meant file systems [16:10] oCean_: thanks I"ll try that too. btw, what does the 2&>1 part mean?

[16:27] not sure its a brand new drive [16:27] vallhalla81: So the system found the filesystem? And it's not IDE? [16:27] vallhalla81, it should be; ext3, ext2, ntfs, fat32 [16:27] vallhalla81: because /dev/sd* drives are SCSI drives [16:27] oCean_: i am not sure [16:27] vallhalla81: the fdisk output will tell you, or you could format it yourself [16:27] vallhalla81: Anyway, your system has to recognize the hardware BEFORE you try anything else [16:28] cd [16:28] vallhalla81: so if the new disk still does not show up in lshw, you will not be able to create a partition [16:28] hi [16:28] ActionParsnip: oCean_: found it it just needs formating ty [16:29] vallhalla81: have fun [16:29] why I'm make cache on the ubuntu [16:29] ?

[16:41] epaphus: I thought you wanted to know if you could do sun partitions? [16:41] user___, it's really annoying... [16:43] Rubberducky: it could have something to do with "fortify" (wild guess from the log). just check google: wiki fortify, learn a bit about how that fortify components interacts with the rest of the system. good luck! :-) [16:43] guys I figured it out, its cause I added an invalid source to my list [16:43] user___, damn...

There were other circumstances, one bing wired vs wifi... [17:20] massie, there are also gnome right click menau extensions (scripts) that you can import for easier operations like that, look for nautilus-scripts [17:20] When i click on the windows in xUbuntu, they will not pop out. (I was told to come here) [17:20] ok. well, i changed my permissions and such in nautilus [17:20] so do i now reboot to ensure those changes were made [17:20] ? [17:20] ActionParsnip: Thank you.

[17:33] usr13 why? === MTeck is now known as MTecknology [17:34] dn - i have a problem like that sometimes but it's usually caused by some weird javascript making it too big [17:34] ubuntistas: If you want to do it via CLI, just issue command: apt-get insall gnomad2 [17:34] dn: thanks. [17:34] hi there [17:34] bloated? i don't know what that means. it's too low. all of a sudden today it started being 1024x768 [17:34] I saw that link a min ago. didnt know what it was for. [17:34] I'm having some problems setting up ssh [17:34] can anyone help ? :) [17:34] ... [17:34] tsrk: this bug starts when you open firefox, regardless of the page you load. it's a known intrepid bug [17:34] not then... [17:34] ubuntistas: No reason... if you want to compile from source, just CD to the resulting directory and then do ./configure make make install [17:34] thanks for nothing.. [17:34] Hi, is there a recommended way to debug acpi sleep issues if it was working once, but now will faile (maybe because of a kernel update)? [17:34] ubuntistas: But first, make sure you have kernel sources installed. [17:35] <[DarkSun]> ok, ill try asking a 3rd time.... [17:35] <[DarkSun]> im trying to install ubuntu on my sunblade2000 and the install cd doesnt seem to want to lot me set the partition /dev/sda2 as anything except a LVM, any ideas, or any way to load the lvm-mod(it aparently is not included)??? [17:35] dn - ok, it must be something different than i'm experiencing, although it sounds somewhat similar [17:35] explain usr13 i don't get [17:35] dn: have you checked xorg.conf? [17:36] Hi. I am new to Ubuntu and having a bit of a challenge installing non-Microsoft Truetype Fonts. I have already loaded all of the free MS Fonts, like Arial and Times Roman. I wanted to add other truetype fonts that I use on Windows. [17:36] yea i've reset it, deleted it, used nvidia-xconfig etc. [17:36] still can't get 1280x768 [17:36] ubuntistas: In other words, install build-essential before trying to compile from source. [17:36] My wireless card isn't being recognized, it has in the past but it stopped working today, networking is enabled and i have tried restarting the X server [17:36] aquachica, how did u install them? sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts [17:37] For all WiFi adapters use compat. [17:37] ubuntistas: The easiest way to intall the package you want (or any package for that manor) is via the package manager. [17:37] I have tried using placing the fonts in the /usr/share/fonts folder and executing the fc-cache -f -v command. [17:37] aquachica: I think you can copy them straight in from Windows and put in the .fonts hidden folder [17:37] yeh usr13 but it has not the latest version and i have problem with the previous [17:37] ubuntistas: synaptic package manager or apt-get [17:38] aquachica, just copy the fonts that you want to use from windows/fonts to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts [17:38] I tried placing in there as well, but Open Office does not see them. [17:38] dn: when I had this problem my alterations to the file actually prompted a manual override that allowed me to pick my resolution. [17:39] ubuntistas: Ok, then by all means, compile from source. No problem. But first you'll need build-essential So do: sudo apt-get install build-essential [17:39] My wireless card isn't being recognized, it has in the past but it stopped working today, networking is enabled and i have tried restarting the X server [17:39] hello all i have this error with apt-get [17:39] How can I resize partition [17:39] NOWAII: With gparted [17:39] How do I get compiz to run automatically when I login to my computer [17:39] E: Couldn't configure pre-depend libc6 for findutils, probably a dependency cycle. [17:39] who can help ? [17:40] usr13: do you by any chance know how to get asterisk working in Ubuntu? the Ubuntu Deb didn't seem to work, because it asks if something is there, that is. and trying to compile from tar.gz was horrible. this is for someone else by the way not me, but I have been trying to help him [17:40] I I got a major problem T_T [17:40] I just hosed my desktop setup [17:40] I ran gnomes screen manager [17:40] usr13 i have already installed it [17:40] "resolution" [17:40] then? [17:40] sebsebseb: What ever it asked for, install it. [17:40] sebsebseb: What wasn't there? [17:41] gnome-panel is no where to be found [17:41] hello [17:41] Does any have some experience with this? [17:41] who can help me to fix this error on apt-get E: Couldn't configure pre-depend libc6 for findutils, probably a dependency cycle. [17:41] ? [17:41] usr13: i'll get the pastebins to you or something, in pm. this guy will be nagging me on Monday probably to help him get working, if I haven't figured it out by then. [17:41] is it possible to have bootchart monitor the login process instead of the boot? [17:41] how do I make aptitude search to search given string in package *descriptions*, not names? [17:41] usr13 how can i compile it and install dude explain [17:41] What is metacity === AliTarihi_ is now known as AliTarihi [17:41] ? [17:41] aquachica, apt get install msttcorefonts [17:42] i switched from xfce to ubuntu desktop, how do i also change the bootupp and the login? i just want it to all match [17:42] computerMoney: the default window manager (border) [17:42] or maybe there is another way than using "aptitude search" [17:42] sebsebseb: Have you looked at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AsteriskScriptOnHardy [17:42] I did get the msttcorefonts. [17:42] trijntje: is it an alternative to compiz? [17:42] usr13: he is on 8.10 [17:42] yes. [17:42] ubuntistas: did you unpack the tarball yet? [17:42] I am now installing one font into the msttcorefonts folder to see if it works. [17:42] like beryl [17:42] does anyone know a good lampp tutorial? [17:42] aquachica, and what do you want? [17:42] When I double click a window title bar, it gets resized to show only the title bar. I can't find the setting, where can I switch back to get the window maximized on double clicking the title bar? [17:42] zelda: how would I replace compiz with this? [17:43] yes usr13 [17:43] I have other Truetype fonts that I wanted to use, that I use in Windows. [17:43] you cant really. But you can tell compiz to use metacity [17:43] My wireless card isn't being recognized, it has in the past but it stopped working today, networking is enabled and i have tried restarting the X server [17:43] download the CCSM. [17:43] i switched from xfce to ubuntu desktop, how do i also change the bootupp and the login? i just want it to all match [17:43] computerMoney: not realy, you can also set compiz to use metacity. Metacity is only for the border and top of windows, where you can press close etc. Compiz offers a lot of eyecandy, like cube etc [17:43] or the compiz-fuzion icon manager [17:44] ubuntistas: cd to the resulting directory and read the README and / or INSTALL files. i.e. less README less INSTALL [17:44] usr13: that's also for hardy server, he is on 8.10 desktop edition [17:44] I added in /etc/samba/smb.conf a line: "log level = 3". But why does the command "~$ smbclient \\\\MD97600\\freigegebenMD -U -W MSHOME" issued on computer T42 in the same LAN still not reflect in /var/log/samba/log.t42? [17:44] is it possible to have bootchart monitor the login process instead of the boot? [17:45] Usser, I added a font to the /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts folder, and used the fc-cache -f -v command. However, the fold is not visible in Open Office. [17:45] aquachica, What kind of font did you use? [17:45] so why is firefox so ugly/slow in ubuntu compared to winodws? i do text zoom on just about every page i use, and it does UGLY things === Andry_works is now known as AndryZ [17:45] I used Truetype fonts in Windows. [17:46] i switched from xfce to ubuntu desktop, how do i also change the bootupp and the login? i just want it to all match [17:46] usr13 any clue? [17:46] computerMoney, Better to call compiz an alternative to metacity, but just semantics. [17:47] The fonts I used on Windows were Truetype fonts that I downloaded from various sites. [17:47] Trijntje: I believe that this is only possibly by substantially changing the source code and recompiling. [17:47] ubuntistas: clue to what? [17:47] aquachica, copy fonts from Windows in ~/.fonts [17:47] hi ppl. i had a big problem, when i start my ubuntu i went to a memory test which dont have end, it restarts the test. and i cant access my ubuntu. now i'm on live cd. yesterday i remove all linux-image packages i had in /lib/modules directory, i think that is the origin of the problem. now, i'm on live cd, how do i solve this problem? it's possible to recover my old system? [17:47] ~/.fonts does not exist. [17:47] s/possibly/possible [17:47] from your windows? [17:47] i don't get the readme or install [17:48] aquachica, mkdir ~/.fonts What else? [17:48] bobbob1016: thank you. I have an obnoxious compiz issue regarding firefox that i can't resolve. [17:48] how can i configure usr13 and then compile? [17:48] bobbob1016: turns full screen when I open it, any ideas? === ubuntu__ is now known as paulo39 [17:48] LOL [17:48] is this a bad day to ask for help or is my question just not important enough? [17:48] computerMonkey, thats the 3x today. [17:48] er computerMoney [17:48] maybe ill ask in ubuntu-off topic for this on topic issue [17:48] zelda: no, it's the fifth [17:49] zelda: 'cause it ain't gettin' fixed. [17:49] computerMoney: Yea its annoying [17:49] I copied the fonts over. [17:49] zelda: when ubuntu's working properly I am so happy I have it === vjacob2 is now known as vjacob [17:49] ubuntistas: The are text files that tell you about the package and how to install it. You should read them and then proceed with the install as per instructed. But basically, you are going to need to issud [probably] 3 commands 1) ./configure 2) make 3) sudo make install [17:49] zelda: too bad that's about 50% of the time [17:50] forget this ill just look elsewheree [17:50] i dont know what i did but i lost the fluxbox panel...how do i get it back? [17:50] aquachica, OR you just dont see hidden directory, huh? Do Ctrl +H in your home dir when you in nautilus [17:50] hello all. has someone here noticed that java on an eeepc Asus1000H (x86) can be really really slow when running something like JabRef (even with IBM's jre)? [17:50] computerMoney: yeah. most the time it works for me. Thats so dumb. [17:50] !ubottu ask | zaccour [17:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubottu ask [17:51] Hey guys i reinstalled windows and now my grub is gone. With my old pc i simply used the SUPER Grub disk and fixed it with that. Now, however for some reason i dont get the super grub disk menu and i go directly to some command line version. I dont know what to do, any ideas? Thanks [17:51] computerMoney, I don't have the issue, so I don't know. Maybe the "fullscreen windows" option in ccsm, not sure though [17:51] bobbob1016: good thinking [17:51] which file should i download to watch .avi files [17:51] !grub > hmw [17:51] hmw, please see my private message [17:51] Doeman: What is super grub disk menu?

I am looking into it and might be able to help... stand by [17:52] ubuntistas: The README and INSTALL files are text files that tell you about the package and how to install it. You should read them and then proceed with the install as per instructed. [17:52] !grub | Doeman [17:52] Doeman: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[17:53] hi ppl. i had a big problem, when i start my ubuntu i went to a memory test which dont have end, it restarts the test. and i cant access my ubuntu. now i'm on live cd. yesterday i remove all linux-image packages i had in /lib/modules directory, i think that is the origin of the problem. now, i'm on live cd, how do i solve this problem? it's possible to recover my old system? [17:53] I have used the fc-cache -f -v command, but Office still does not see the font. [17:53] wont hardware drivers tell you that [17:53] ? [17:53] I am on Ubuntu 8.10. [17:54] aquachica, reboot. [17:54] ok [17:54] brb [17:54] How can I get ubuntu to recognise my webcam on my laptop and/or my mic? [17:54] "Doctor, Doctor give me the news. I've got a bad case..." [17:54] hey guys i just removed xine via synaptic... and now i cant load into x11 gnome interface, x11 starts ok if i run startx but i think i accidently removed all the gnome components [17:54] zelda: thank you, where do I find this file to modify? [17:54] paulo39: sounds like you successfully killed your system. You might be lucky with copying the files from your live system back to the hard drive, but there might be files missing. Resetup recommended. [17:54] how do i reconfigure to load into this as this isnt my computer [17:54] I added in /etc/samba/smb.conf a line: "log level = 3". But why does the command "~$ smbclient \\\\MD97600\\freigegebenMD -U -W MSHOME" issued on computer T42 in the same LAN still not reflect in /var/log/samba/log.t42? [17:54] zelda, This isn't twitter, no need for @ [17:55] whos Twitter? [17:55] lol... possibly i was very uncarefully [17:55] bullgard4: maybe you set your samba not to log each machine in a different file? in this case, you should see everything in the main samba log [17:56] hello [17:56] hello [17:56] computerMoney: What? [17:56] Hey guys i reinstalled windows and now my grub is gone. With my old pc i simply used the SUPER Grub disk and fixed it with that. Now, however for some reason i dont get the super grub disk menu and i go directly to some command line version. I dont know what to do, any ideas? Thanks [17:56] bullgard4: btw. i guess its not \\computer\share, even less \\\\something, but //computer/share [17:56] How does one find out which processor type a binary has been optimized from, anyone know a command to do that? (i586, i686, etc) [17:56] Hi guys, anyone can help me with a problem on bluetooth device? [17:57] Doeman: Did you see the instructions just given to you? [17:57] zelda: regarding the link to a fix, I am actually too novice to follow those directions [17:57] does anyone knows how to fix error in tool/i18n.cpp:62, error formatting string in wormux? :D [17:57] zelda: which file do I modify? [17:57] what's the best media player to run on ubuntu? [17:57] hmw, there arent some chances to installling the missing linux-images and recover the system? [17:57] vjacob: *maybe* "file" [17:57] !best | meteor [17:57] meteor: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [17:57] computerMoney: You open CCSM do you have that downloaded? [17:57] hmw: I set my Samba so that it logs each machine in a different file. At least the file /var/log/samba/log.t42 gets filled gradually. But unfortunately not in reaction of a slave command. [17:57] zelda: yes it is now open [17:58] paulo39: as i mentioned, you might be lucky with copying the files from your live cd's file system to the hard drive. If your ubuntu was like freshly set up, it might be ok [17:58] ok, sorry [17:58] I have rebooted my computer, but the font still does not show up. [17:58] computerMoney: ok go to effects and then window decoration. [17:58] computerMoney: then its self explanitory [17:58] zelda: it's just a checkbox [17:58] Flex84 [17:59] Oh! [17:59] zelda: Now I see! [17:59] bullgard4: the server holding the share must be set to use that setting. Are you perhaps expecting smbclient to log into smb-server's log file? [17:59] hmw: If I replace '\\' with '/' there will be no difference. [18:00] bullgard4: interesting. i had problems with the backslashes. however, usually this should work out of the box [18:00] hmw, sorry for my english.. i have some dificulties. what wou are saying is to copy that directory content of my live cd running system to the same directory in the hard disk system? and try to reboot by the hard disk? [18:00] i press shutdown, and after the ubuntu logo and "shutdown-bar-which-has-to-get-filled-with-black" dissapear, i have to wait for something like half a minute before i the computer powers down. WHY? [18:00] anyone know about bluetooth services like blueman [18:01] paulo39: yes. mount the hard drive, eg. to /mnt, and just copy the files from /lib/modules. If you dont mind finally destroying your install, it might be worth a shot. I dont know, if it is a good idea, tbh [18:01] !anyone | kamekun [18:01] kamekun: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[18:05] i have a problem triying to connect my headset bluetooth device with blueman, is reconigse the device and connect fine but the sound is still on the laptop, i have ubuntu 8.10 [18:06] raviteja: I believe that the repositories are out of order at the moment. Please wait and see until the order has been restored by the Ubuntu maintainers. This may take up to two days maximum according to my experience. [18:06] bullgard4: I have no clue, what could cause this. It might be a wrong path to the dir in smbd's conf or even file permissions (which i doubt) [18:06] i downloaded google earth 4.3 from the main site, its a bin file, ive used sh (bin file) to install, but how do i uninstall ? [18:07] bullgard4: did you do any fancy things to your server? i mean, unusual smb settings, syslog reconfigured, aso?

[18:08] DasEi : i've seen other people complain. what i mean is when i zoom a page, it gets graphically very ugly, compared to doing the same page on windows. and takes a LOT longer to complete the zoom too [18:09] bullgard4: i guess, you already looked at /var/log/messages? [18:09] DasEi: dmesg contains a log of the boot messages [18:09] I just set my graphics settings to high [18:09] raviteja: My (limited) experience does not know a better solution.

It doesn't work for me: gksu -u foo xterm -> No protocol specifiedxterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0 [18:11] paulo: sure. 1) mount the file system. e.g. sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt 2) ls /mnt/lib/modules (would be empty in your case) [18:12] hmw: /var/log/messages does not reveal anything interesting for the problem at hand. [18:12] bullgard4: sorry, I have to give up on this issue.

[18:15] how can i install gnomad2 targz file [18:15] any clue help [18:15] raviteja: just a hint for the future: i googled the error message ("Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock") and found your solution on the first page. Websearching for error messages or virus names or strange program names (you found in your task list without expecting them there) helps often [18:16] DasEi: just type dmesg in a terminal [18:16] bullgard4: draw back is of course, you wont know, what it is, when it happens again [18:16] hmw: Yes, this is true. -- Thank you for advising. [18:16] ubuntistas you've been told several times. open a terminal, cd to th e directory it's in, do tar xvf gnomad2.tar.gz, cd to the new directory, and read the INSTALL. or better yet, just run 'sudo apt-get install gnomad2' [18:17] bullgard4: i have another idea: you could grep certain dirs for the output you were expecting: grep -R '' [18:17] i connect my device fine but the sound is still on the laptop and not on the headset [18:17] bullgard4: (for the case, it is written to the wrong file) [18:17] ciao a tutti [18:17] hi..im reinstalling grub, but i get this: Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition . SOS! [18:18] hmw: But I do not know the exact string to grep for, unfortunately. [18:18] how well does songbird run on ubuntu? [18:18] militant i did that it doesn't show me something when i do make [18:18] thanks, user, or enabling bootlogging; there was a trick to scroll those messages at bootup, I forgot it, but dmesg is fine [18:18] bullgard4: uhm... grep for the host name of the client or it's IP [18:18] ubuntistas then use aptitude to install it. that's what it's for [18:18] i want the new version do u se gnomad2 [18:18] does the Ubuntu have any known issues? [18:19] Ubuntu cals* [18:19] i just don't see my song in music transfer [18:19] calc** [18:19] Akkernight: lots. What do you mean? [18:19] Akkernight: Yes. You can find them in Launchpad. [18:19] im thinkin about trying opensuse. any experiences with that? [18:19] zaccour: slow...

[18:22] ubottu, thanks [18:22] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [18:22] ubottu, ok [18:22] bullgard4: grepping for the share name might be interesting, too. [18:22] hmw: Yes. Lets go. [18:22] hmw, the little prblem is that i cant (i dont know why) make a back up of some files i had in the system directory :( [18:23] i have the disk mounted, but i dont have permissions [18:23] to extract some important files for him [18:23] paulo:see : [18:23] usage: sudo -h | -K | -k | -L | -l | -V | -v [18:23] usage: sudo [-bEHPS] [-p prompt] [-u username|#uid] [VAR=value] [18:23] {-i | -s | } [18:23] usage: sudo -e [-S] [-p prompt] [-u username|#uid] file ...

[18:24] and i dont had permissions [18:24] When I issue IPTABLES commands, do they persist through reboots? If not, how do I make them persist? [18:24] how do you go about installing a package that requires dependencies which the Synaptic Package Manager says cannot be installed (" Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.14.1) but 2.12.9-3ubuntu5 is to be installed") [18:25] hi everyone... i need some help... can we multi-thread the apt packet downloading... [18:25] hi [18:25] i mean can we accelerate the downloading of source packages through internet ?? [18:25] hi people. I'm trying to compile a gedit plugin and I'm getting an error at ./configure. It says checking for GEDIT... configure: error: Package requirements ( [18:25] sm >= 1.0.0 [18:25] libxml-2.0 >= 2.5.0 [18:25] glib-2.0 >= 2.13.0 [18:25] gthread-2.0 >= 2.13.0 [18:25] mvalviar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:25] gio-2.0 >= 2.16.0 [18:25] ajhais: there is something called apt-torrent, but i think it's pretty experimental [18:25] Krionic: that package is for a different version of ubuntu (or a different debian-based distro entirely) [18:25] !paste| mvalviar [18:25] mvalviar: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [18:25] how can I see uid and gid? [18:25] Edico, id [18:25] i have a problem triying to connect my headset bluetooth device with blueman, is reconigse the device and connect fine but the sound is still on the laptop, i have ubuntu 8.10 [18:26] LjL: okay... thanks.. i will check it out.. [18:26] but how i can stop a process to start wen ubuntu starts [18:26] thanks arvind_khadri [18:26] cristi_: is it a service started in /etc/init.d? [18:26] cristi_ you can configure your services in System > Administration > Services [18:26] paulo: f.e. sudo cp -r / ~/Desktop doesn't work ? [18:26] crdlb: it's a package listed in the Synaptic Package Manager. acroread, actually... [18:26] Edico, np [18:26] When I issue IPTABLES commands, do they persist through reboots? If not, how do I make them persist? [18:26] how can i display which files are opened by which process? [18:26] rar_: lsof [18:27] Krionic: there's no acroread package in the ubuntu repos afaict [18:27] at least not by that name [18:27] Hi does anyone who how i can get permission to use a partition i've selected to mount on boot with pysdm [18:27] iptables-user: no they don't, but you can use "iptable-save" and "iptables-restore" to achieve that [18:27] Krionic: I seem to recall that you have to use medibuntu for that [18:27] !iptables > iptables-user (iptables-user, see the private message from ubottu) [18:27] How can I get ubuntu to recognise my webcam on my laptop and/or my mic? [18:27] how well does songbird run on ubuntu? [18:27] cristi_ if it is not a service, it might be some autostart app. System > Administration > Sessions [18:28] LjL: Isof is a command? [18:28] thanks [18:28] what's "beta smoke testing" day? [18:28] hi. I'm a total noob and I can't get my head around installing binary packages on ubuntu - perhaps someone could help [18:28] pleasssseeeee [18:28] mvalviar: you need the gedit-dev package [18:28] hi. i have to instruct someone on how to reconfigure grub. anyone know how to get the hd(x,x) number for all partitions? [18:28] :) [18:28] sebsebseb: it is lsof (LSOF list open files) [18:28] pvtpete: what do you want to install? [18:28] !apt-get [18:28] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [18:28] pvtpete, use synaptic, it's the easiest way [18:28] LjL: I guess if iptables do not persist, I just want a command line executed at startup as root [18:28] crdlb: thank you. then I'll need to look for a pdf viewer that lets me write into a pdf file correctly then. Evince doesn't work well... [18:29] it's crashing my computer [18:29] that thing [18:29] iptables-user: sudo iptables-save === phoenixreincarna is now known as phoenix844884 [18:29] hmw: ok that was fun to fun [18:29] iptables-user: the "right" way is to use "iptables-save" and "iptables-restore", and you can certainly run those at startup, check the page (one way of running stuff at startup is /etc/rc.local) [18:30] pvtpete: can't help you if you don't tell us what it is you need help with. [18:30] thanks. Let me try that. Sorry for the flood =D [18:30] ah - ok it's working now ;) [18:30] (agreed) [18:31] Krionic: check your /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* for a line containing the wrong distro version (intrepid, when it should be hardy) [18:31] pvtpete: for a noob, you sure got it working quickly on your own :) [18:31] beginners luck [18:31] :D [18:32] is there any way to link to the sourceforge repository as a software source [18:32] btw [18:32] does sourceforge offer .deb packages now? [18:33] pvtpete, some projects have deb packages but they are not repositories. [18:33] Gnea: that depends entirely on the project [18:33] Gnea: a project on SF might offer .deb's, another might not [18:33] Do any of you run Debian? [18:33] emma, I do [18:33] LjL: right, but AFAIK, SF does not have its own repository setup [18:34] how well does songbird run on ubuntu? [18:34] When you run sudo aptitude -s --visual-preview install in debian, will it install the package? [18:34] crdlb: you're right on. for some reason I have a medibuntu.lst in my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory. [18:34] Gnea: well no it doesn't, but a .deb package doesn't really need to live in a repository [18:34] #abjects [18:34] meteor: it's sluggish for me but I tried it wayback when it was admitted slowish [18:34] emma, I don't use aptitude on the regular sorry [18:34] emma: that question might better be asked in #debian [18:34] Krionic: that's how you were trying to get acroread; if you change the intrepid to hardy, and reload (sudo apt-get update), you should be able to get acroread [18:35] oh ok.. thanks binarymutant [18:35] emma, #debian is on irc.oftc.net [18:35] binarymutant: thanks [18:35] binarymutant: I think I have found a bug that affects aptitude in both debian and ubuntu [18:36] When using scp is the syntax.. scp :file> .. ? [18:36] crdlb: my sources.list shows all hardly sources. should that be intrepid instead? [18:36] emma, is it a bug in the --visual-preview switch? [18:37] crdlb: i believe i installed hardy... that should be correct. [18:37] Krionic: no, you're using hardy (8.04 LTS). you can upgrade to intrepid (8.10) if you want to, but you don't need to; hardy will be supported for a while [18:37] binarymutant: On my machine (ubuntu intrepid) the --visual-preview swich is over-riding the -s switch (which should make it a simulation and not actually do the install). [18:37] is there a way to completely reset Ubuntu's X configuration and set it all up from scratch? [18:37] scunizi, its correct [18:37] hi...question -> should i choose ubuntu server or centos server to provide web hosting services? [18:38] giorgos: which do you prefer? [18:38] emma, I'll try it with something [18:38] binarymutant: I stumbled upon this just playing around with stuff after I read the entire aptitude man page. Just for education. [18:38] giorgos: any special needs? [18:38] gordonjcp: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [18:38] binarymutant: thanks.. trying now. [18:38] !x | gordonjcp [18:38] gordonjcp: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [18:38] gordonjcp: What is the best for professional usage? [18:39] arvind_khadri: I know what X is, thanks [18:39] gordonjcp: if you just mean the xorg.conf; 'sudo dexconf' will give you a completely stock xorg.conf that you can customize [18:39] gordonjcp: if you installed drivers, might de-install them,too [18:39] crdlb, I see. so if i switch to intrepid I can get acroread. but that doesn't tell me why I have a medibuntu.list file. should that even be there? [18:39] gordonjcp, you can re-build it from scratch looking at some examples [18:39] binarymutant: cool thanks. I expected that it would give me the visual interface (as per --visual-preview) and do a simulation (as per -s), I intentionally chose a package I would not mind having installed just in case, but rather than what was expected, I got the visual UI but the package was actually installed when I did this: sudo aptitude -s --visual-preview install sbcl [18:39] rar_: to make web pages for my customers [18:39] :( [18:40] arvind_khadri: I think I'm about due a reinstall anyway [18:40] giorgos: use ubuntu. it works fine and you have a great community. [18:40] Krionic: medibuntu is a third-party repo that you added following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu , but you accidentally added the intrepid version instead of hardy [18:40] hello everyone...Can anyone tell me if there is some C++ reference manual which can be installed on ubuntu as a quick reference guide for C++ functions [18:40] emma: doesn't --visual-preview denote that it switches out of commandline mode? [18:40] binarymutant: I get permission denied even after entering the password.. I'm actually ssh'd into that machine right now so I know I can connect to it [18:40] crdlb thank you. I will check the site and correct my mistake. [18:41] Gnea: It does switch out of command line mode. It takes it to the visual UI. However, -s should make it read only in that case. [18:41] rar_: In my desktop i use ubuntu but they say that centos is more stable and secure! Is it true? [18:41] Gnea: After pressing 'g' in the visual UI, the package actually gets installed. [18:41] Gnea: This is not what I was expecting with -s. [18:41] Krionic: I guess the easiest solution is to delete /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list before running the command on that page [18:41] I don't seem to be able to get my CD/DVD RW to work anymore. It used to work! How to check? [18:41] emma: according to the manpage, -s only works when it's in commandline mode. Therefore, anything that takes it out of commandline mode instantly invalidates its function. [18:42] Gnea: (1) In that case if it isn't a bug it's an instance of a bug in the documentation because that's not clear at all. (2) That's not how I am reading the man page. Read the last sentence. [18:42] giorgos: probably more stable, since it's tied closely to RHEL [18:42] arvind_khadri: there are a few other things that are behaving a bit oddly, but replacing my graphics card has really properly broken it now ;-) [18:43] -s, --simulate [18:43] In command-line mode, print the actions that would normally be performed, but don´t actually perform them. [18:43] scunizi, scp file user@host:/folder/to/put/it or scp user@host:/file/to/get /local/folder/to/put/in [18:43] This does not require root privileges. In the visual interface, always open the cache in read-only mode [18:43] hi, I have an Ubuntu GUI question. What is the gui equivalent of mounting an ntfs partition? I tried Places->20 GB Media. Then it mounted on my desktop. perfect. now I right click on the hard drive icon.. I hit Properties.. and I see many tabs. Where is the checkbox to automount on boot? [18:43] regardless of whether you are root. [18:43] oops (sorry didn't expect that to have new lines) [18:43] emma: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:43] gordonjcp, then replace the drivers :) and then rebuild X [18:43] yes yes.. [18:43] emma: please use the pastebin site. [18:43] arvind_khadri: well that's the thing, I can't convince it to replace the drivers [18:43] lol emma got banned or whatever? [18:43] charlesatlas: 'doesn't work' isn't very informative. Can you explain what happens and why you think it doesn't work? Have you checked /var/log/messages for errors? [18:43] emma: you know the rules here very well, please respect them. [18:43] no, just silenced [18:44] hi folks, How can I tell whether I use "Feisty Fawn", "Dapper Drake" or "Edgy Eft" version of ubuntu? [18:44] shogo2040, place the line to fstab [18:44] arvind_khadri: I replaced an nvidia 7300GT with a slightly different kind of nvidia 7300GT, won't even get me into X === andyh2|away is now known as andyh2 [18:44] eqisow1: Is centos more dificult to support it by an administrator or is the same with an ubuntu server? [18:44] Gnea, LjL Yeah of course. That would have been fine if not for the newlines. It was a short paragraph if in one post. Not disrespect, an accident. [18:44] emma: right, "print the actions that would normally be performed, but don´t actually perform them." [18:44] gordonjcp, :) i have the same card... install the drivers from the repo [18:44] Jeruvy: I mean it does not mount or eject. Brasero says there is no drive there [18:44] binarymutant: nevermind I figured it out.. [18:44] hey i have problems with my apache: (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 , im looking in apache2.conf i dont found the line.. [18:44] tamido: System > ABout Ubuntu [18:44] arvind. is there a way to do this without launching Terminal? basically i'm wondering if I can point and click my way to this.. since Ubuntu has the best Gnome desktop [18:44] arvind_khadri: the drivers are already installed. They don't work. [18:44] emma: well, just a suggestion - don't add another message after being warned by the floodbots, as that will cause, as you could witness, a mute [18:45] gordonjcp, which driver? [18:45] yeah [18:45] emma: therefore, whenever aptitude is *NOT* in command-line mode, that function will not work. it's that simple. [18:45] emma, what are you doing, flooding the channel like that on accident, apologizing, and then explaining what happened... you should have known better :P [18:45] arvind_khadri: nvidia-glx [18:45] LjL: Yeah hehe. [18:45] thanks [18:45] Gnea: that's not what it goes on to say in the last sentence though. [18:45] emma: I thought you were another emma, but it seems that your not [18:45] arvind_khadri: this particular machine *was* using a 7300GT, which I've just swapped for a different 7300GT [18:45] giorgos: not much difference there, as long as your OK with RPM package management. not much difference security wise, assuming both are properly configured. All linux distro share TONS of code, so vulnerabilities often spread across distros [18:45] hi there [18:45] alguien que hable español? [18:45] gordonjcp, which ubuntu ? [18:45] !es | filof [18:45] filof: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [18:45] !es | filof [18:45] !es [18:45] arvind_khadri: the original card was flaky which is why I changed it [18:45] I guess that can be a feature request for next version of Ubuntu.. checkbox under properties tab of a mounted HD to automount [18:45] Gnea: The first sentence says what it will do in command line mode. The last sentence says *what it will do* in visual mode. [18:45] arvind_khadri: hardy [18:45] any one here who has regnum online running on their ubuntu desktop? [18:46] gordonjcp, aah ok... :) [18:46] How can I have Ubuntu bring up my wireless at boot instead of making me wait until I log in to KDE4/GNOME and start a networkmanager applet? [18:46] Gnea: man aptitude and /-s [18:46] arvind_khadri: I don't know *why* it doesn't like this card [18:46] recommendations please which vmware works best with ubuntu 8.10 please thanks in advance [18:46] charlesatlas: ok, what does /var/log/messages tell you? I would guess if the device is working (seen in BIOS) that an error would log during boottime. [18:46] Jeruvy: Nothing I can find in /var/log/messages related to that drive [18:46] alright so at this point I really truly believe that using a bluetooth headset in ubuntu is impossible [18:47] !best | ziggytob [18:47] ziggytob: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [18:47] ok.. i'll get down and unix dirty.. so I found this fstab thingie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [18:47] ryanakca: manually configure your wireless instead of using networkmanager [18:47] Gnea: actually man aptitude and /--simulate takes you there. [18:47] gordonjcp, weird :) [18:47] I see two lines of fstab cryptic code [18:47] arvind_khadri: indeed [18:47] UUID=12102C02102CEB83 /media/windows ntfs-3g [18:47] auto,users,uid=1000,gid=100,dmask=027,fmask=137,utf8 0 0 [18:47] arvind_khadri: already removed the lines specifying PCI devices [18:47] what the heck is all that?? [18:48] i'm only human :) [18:48] !fstab | shogo2040 [18:48] shogo2040: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [18:48] ryanakca: see here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo [18:48] emma: so if I am understanding you correctly, you're saying that, when mixed with the visual mode, it's supposed to protect the cache? [18:48] eqisow1: /etc/network/interfaces, correct? And then I suppose I have to uninstall NetworkManager (or just disable it)? What's the line for wpa? [18:48] Gnea: -s, --simulate has two sentences. The first says what it will do in commandline mode, the second says what it will do in visual UI mode. [18:48] LjL: apt-torrent uses bit-torrent protocol... but that torrent ports are blocked in my network [18:48] :( [18:48] ryanakca: You can just disable it, the wpa stuff is in the link I gave you [18:49] ok.. I am programming an fstab right now. [18:49] gordonjcp, i have no idea... [18:49] charlesatlas: you may also see if this article is any help: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+question/23415 [18:49] Gnea: Well my whole purpose for reading the man aptitude page is that I'm no expert and I'm trying to learn about linux. As I read the second sentence there it is indicating how it's going to prevent, for example any actual installation since it will all be read-only [18:49] eqisow1: Thanks [18:50] emma: that seems to denote that there is a difference between actually performing the functions related to changing package installation context and keeping the package management cache read-only... I could be wrong if it's the 'package management' cache itself or not [18:50] configuring and understanding fstab will take me about an hour... so time for me to dive in.. but next time.. please place a checkbox in the GUI so I don't have to do this again on the next version :) [18:50] emma: oh I understand :) [18:50] hehehehe! [18:50] how do I tell what is writing to a disk on linux? [18:51] !fstab | shogo2040 [18:51] shogo2040: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [18:51] yea yea.. i'm reading it [18:51] emma, it doesn't simulate for me either btw [18:51] time to vi mah files [18:51] Gnea: But -s --visual-preview install sbcl did not just simulate an installation of sbcl, it installed it. [18:51] shogo2040: if a checkbox is what you'd like to see, you may want to point it out to the developers :) [18:51] Does someone have any idea how to trace/fix segfaults?

[18:52] !strace | dvheumen [18:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about strace [18:52] binarymutant: is it a bug? [18:52] emma: so the question then becomes, which 'cache' is it actually making read-only? [18:52] dvheumen, gdb *might* help [18:52] yello [18:52] DasEi: I tring to determine what process is writting to the disk [18:52] okay i got my hands on a compaq presario v6000 [18:52] Gnea: surely what it ought to do is go through the motions but not make any real changes.

Ubuntu is the easiest linux distros i've ever used... I totally can see this OS maturing to an super easy to use desktop [18:53] newmember: top shows running proceses [18:53] Jeruvy: was trying to get him more info, not the package info, but thanks [18:53] binarymutant: I've used gdb and I found that the stack trace ended in libc6.so.0 [18:53] Jeruvy: Nope. does not work. It says there is no media in the drive when I try to mount or eject it. [18:53] binarymutant: but I don't know how to proceed from there to fix the segfault [18:53] I hava ubuntu 8.10 and i hava a problem. Sometimes when i click on field to write something the cursor of mouse doesnot respond and i cant write. Any suggestion? [18:53] i keep running into some weird issue of wifi etc.. and its not letting me install [18:53] Jeruvy: It seems to see the drive itself [18:53] charlesatlas: I would see if the bios is still able to detect it. It could have died :( [18:54] Jeruvy: bios see it just fine [18:54] This happens in any program. For example i try to write a message on irc and when in click to write nothing happern [18:54] charlesatlas: you did check that link? [18:54] emma: but as we just went through, clearly interpretted differently, we see that the documentation refers to the full functionality of the commandline switch while the program operates in command-line mode, not when it switches to a different mode, except in the case of the visual preview, which as it states, only makes the cache read-only, it doesn't say anything about preventing the package from not being installed in that frame of reference. [18:54] how can see running processes i mean which command [18:54] i just got a 64bit system for general desktop use, is there any advantage in installing a 64bit ubuntu instead of a 32bit? [18:54] *happens [18:54] can anyone tell me the when it would be best to use hard links, and when it would be best to use soft links, what are the advantages each has? [18:54] Jeruvy: Yup, followed it exactly. Says it is already linked [18:54] :( [18:55] anybody running Ubuntu 8.10 on an Optiplex 740? [18:56] I am using the sudo apt-get install/purge and i have a long list of things that are no longer required, but if I remove them using autoremove I can't get to the network.. :(.. is there a way to tell apt-get that "yes I know they are there and I still want them there"??? [18:57] good evening [18:57] Jeruvy: I know the bios sees it, as it will try to boot from it if I put a bootable cd in there. [18:57] bin1010: remove it and apt-get install it explicitly would be my suggestion [18:57] emma: but what you're saying, is that the -s switch should provide its full functionality even when the --visual-preview is called, thus removing its dependency on being a commandline-only switch. Why not just add a whole new switch, say, -svp, which actually combines those functions and keeps the originals safe so that other system scripts aren't disrupted? :) [18:57] charlesatlas: did you modify the fstab file or install anything that did? Or if there is a backup /etc/fstab or /etc/fstab.bak [18:57] binarymutant: right, I've also done a strace, should a paste it on paste.ubuntu.com (or something like that) [18:57] Jeruvy: nothing changed. I went for lunch [18:57] hmw: I found now some interesting results. I started the client command at 19:51:01 local time. And ':~$ rgrep -i 'freigegebenMD' /var/log/ 2>/dev/null' got traces of it in /var/log/debug, /var/log/daemon.log, /var/log/syslog.

[19:02] dvheumen, it's a mmap problem, I would write a bug report if pidgin segfaults on you all the time [19:02] dvheumen, if you do write a bug report include that strace [19:02] emma: it sounds more to me like it's working as it was designed to. but, for the sake of argument and for improving the OS, I think you bring up a valid point. If I were you, I'd email the developers (maybe they have a mailing list?) and see what they think.

[19:03] charlesatlas: well that is strange, I see cdrom listed. [19:03] binarymutant: but is it really caused by Pidgin, since I've had other crashes that also trace back to libc6 ... it seems all a bit too much of a coincidence [19:04] Jeruvy: exactly [19:04] hi my name is candy i luv me sum candy so get me sum candy and flirt with me :) [19:04] Gnea: ok, thanks, I will give that a try.

[19:23] gordonjcp, there's no need to have the last word. This is just a plain yes/no discussion and there is no way out of it other then just to stop it. None of my sticks have a .Trash on it, yours do. Great for you, have fun with it. Now stop it, thank you.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [19:23] mrwes: right, but let's do one thing at a time - since i suspect her main HD might be full, which is a Bad Thing (tm) [19:24] ubuntu intrepid on laptop, xp on desktop, sharing is set up and i can see the media [19:24] Ok for some reason apt-get --purge remove apache2 isn't removing anything I'm trying to completely wipe and it and reinstall because the upgrade from 7.10 -> 8.04 appears to have foobard a few thigns. [19:24] LjL, gotcha [19:24] sayuncle:if you can boot a cd, it won't touch the hd.. [19:24] yes [19:24] ciao [19:24] Does anyone knows how to run a movieclip in multiple windows cuncurrently?

[19:25] i need to create a new bootloader [19:25] LjL, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m158befac [19:25] s3r3n1t7: then stop sticking your oar in [19:25] drwx------ 4 bill root 16384 2008-10-29 15:29 .Trash-1000 <---- that's from my USB drive [19:25] Does anyone knows how to run a movieclip in multiple windows cuncurrently? [19:25] :( [19:26] gordonjcp, s3r3n1t7: stop quarrelling now. [19:26] giorgos: you could try to start the player from the commandline 2 times [19:26] ShinyHat - sometimes it wont work until you "mounted" the share before accessing it for video playback - just browse to the regarding share via the network, so that the icon of the share appears on the desktop, then video playback should work [19:26] uuser___: i can see all the media files, and when dbl clicking they open vlc, but then nothing happens [19:26] zaccour: ok so none of your drives are full, which means i really cannot understand why it doesn't let you delete [19:26] how well does songbird run on ubuntu? [19:26] Giorgos do yo mean on the same screen? [19:26] hmw: icon is on the desktop [19:26] is there a better channel for asking about x.org problem [19:26] s [19:26] ShinyHat: ok, so you have no debug message. to get one just start vlc from the command line and open the media file [19:27] Guys, I need some help regarding my fan on my laptop [19:27] yes this is a way. I had in mind something like the multivideo in elive, if you know. [19:27] because i have an 8 gb hard drive there isnt enough space on my system [19:27] zaccour: try doing "touch /media/disk/testfile" and tell me what it tells you [19:27] zaccour: but you're not deleting a file which is 8 gb big, are you? [19:27] as it doesn't detect the temp of the CPU it just start working some times, and doesn't stop. [19:27] ShinyHat - but it still won't do? and it plays local files without problems? [19:27] user___: any special command? [19:27] no, its on a flash drive [19:27] any one using ubuntu 64 bit here? i am really annoyed with poor firefox performance [19:27] zaccour: right but i mean, is it particularly big? [19:27] hmw: local files are problem free [19:27] ShinyHat: no, just 'vlc $media-file' for now [19:27] yes in the same screen, and plays the same time cuncurrent! [19:27] mainly due to 64 bit flash [19:28] LjL, yes there is not enough room on my system to put it in trash [19:28] geoaxis: Flash 10 64bit? [19:28] anyone knows how to speedup debian packages downloading....?? like multi-threading may be === Brucey is now known as Bruceee [19:28] geoaxis: no complains about firefox here [19:28] is this the right channel to ask about the temp sensor and the fan on my laptop? :) [19:28] zaccour: that's the error that it gives you, alright - but i'm not willing to just believe it's true unless you can CONFIRM that the file is very big [19:28] sebsebseb: i think it uses npviewer.bin [19:28] amitbk: if you're on ubuntu and would like to know how to access the sensor/fan information, yes [19:28] LjL, its an iso [19:29] seriously. why isn't apt-get remove --purge apache2 completely removing the package? [19:29] geoaxis: Flash is closed source, so if you get issues with it, not much that can be done. also Ubuntu's version of Firefox is unoffical [19:29] amitbk: although there is also an #ubuntu-laptop channel that might help [19:29] but i had 32 bit ubuntu for 8.4, never had any problem.. [19:29] zaccour: a CD ISO or a DVD ISO? [19:29] GIO: Mind if i ask for what purpose? [19:29] theshadow, use apt-get autoremove package [19:29] LjL, dvd iso [19:29] !lowgraphics [19:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about lowgraphics [19:29] LjL, almost 4 gb [19:29] LjL: It looks a little dead on the -laptop channel [19:29] zaccour: alright, then it might indeed be to big [19:29] does anyone know how to disable "low graphics mode"? [19:29] LjL, thats why im here [19:29] LjL: do you think you could help me with that? [19:29] sebsebseb: agreed, but i just wonder what happened to a sane browser from 8.4, it's unbearable in 8.10 [19:29] zaccour: try doing what mrwes said, i.e. select the file, and then hit Del *while* also keeping Shift pressed [19:30] amitbk: i don't know, maybe, explain your issue [19:30] wh00p! [19:30] heh [19:30] geoaxis: go use another browser? loads of good ones to choose from [19:30] user___: anything in particular i should be looking for? [19:30] i have chromium-browser from daily builds and much better [19:30] further ideas on that ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/135027/ [19:30] there is no detection of my CPU temperature [19:30] geoaxis: or try the latest 3.1 beta from Mozilla? [19:30] but does not have flash :( [19:30] Anyone else here using Maya 8.5 in Ubunutu? [19:30] I don't know why I bother, no-one ever answers questions in here [19:30] no probs with FF here.. even with 6 plugins, nice. [19:30] zaccour: i know that's why you're here, but i simply won't just believe a "not enough space" error prima face without making sure it's not giving the WRONG error [19:30] mrwes: yea thats not working. I remove the package and go and reinstall and its not restoring /etc/apache2 to the default state [19:30] sebsebseb: tried that too ...no love..it keeps crashing [19:30] ShinyHat: you can pastebin the output if you want and we take a look at it [19:31] !pastebin | ShinyHat [19:31] ShinyHat: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [19:31] My system wont start up in graphics mode, I've tried reconfiguring xserver and manually starting x but nothing is working, anybody have any ideas? [19:31] LjL: so my fan starts working when something, i guess the hardware, tells it to. and doesn't stop. [19:31] my pidgin is also crashing more and more ..and its getting worse [19:31] LjL, thanks man [19:31] hmw: ok, cool [19:31] gordonjcp: i'm sorry but i don't even know what a "low graphics mode" is, must have been something they added to newer versions that i'm not using [19:31] LjL: which version are you using? [19:31] amitbk: laptop brand and model? [19:31] geoaxis: ok on 32bit Flash crashed a lot on 8.10. ,but now I am on 9.04 alpha6, and well I had interesting crash last night to do with FLash and Firefox I thought, but it was differnet this time round. but anyway. Flash 10 was there and working nicely today. I had run 8.10 without FLash since last year [19:31] what is the best way to debug a kernel panic when booting from the 8.10 and 9.04 cds? [19:31] gordonjcp: Kubuntu Hardy [19:31] mrwes, thanks [19:31] i am not really sure as to why ...perhaps with an empty user profile it would be better, just want to know if any one else is experiencing it [19:31] theshadow, hrmm...try synaptic manager and when you hightlight the package choose complete removal [19:31] LjL, it worked [19:31] LjL: I'm using Ubuntu Hardy [19:31] geoaxis, getdeb.net is your friend [19:31] yeehaw [19:32] geoaxis: Firefox and Flash = Firefox crash, for some of us [19:32] zaccour, nod...your welcome [19:32] im using alpha [19:32] geoaxis: every other app would be fine for me [19:32] gordonjcp: ok so what exactly is this low graphics mode? i've never encountered it [19:32] mrwes: this is a server not a desktop [19:32] LjL: basically it runs a crappy X display in 640x480 if it fails to start X, rather than just dropping back to console [19:32] brad__: take a look in /var/log/syslog [19:32] theshadow, figures :) [19:32] LjL: and it's making troubleshooting my X problems very very difficult [19:32] i had to use alpha to get my wired internet to work [19:32] DasEi: I am getting the kernel panic from the livecd [19:32] theshadow, then rm the files manually [19:32] gordonjcp: well, you can drop to a console by doing "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop" [19:32] DasEi: so I never can ever get to the installer to install [19:32] remove pidgin, purple and libpurple, and your .purple folder in home folder, install latest from getdeb [19:33] mrwes: I did. but installing apache isn't restoring the files [19:33] geoaxis: you should try other browsers, loads of good ones to choose from [19:33] !bootopitions | brad__ [19:33] LjL: yes, but I don't want to have to keep doing that every time I try to start X and it doesn't work [19:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about bootopitions [19:33] LjL: Toshiba Satellite S-6898 [19:33] !bootopitons | brad__ [19:33] DasEi: I tried a bunch of boot options [19:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about bootopitons [19:33] LjL: I'm beginning to think I just need to wipe and reinstall [19:33] DasEi: and each time it still paniced [19:33] sebsebseb: i always come crawling back to FF due to extensions :) [19:33] gordonjcp: try starting it with "startx" instead of letting GDM start it - i suspect that will bypass the low graphics mode thingie [19:33] geoaxis: ok I have an idea [19:33] LjL: well, A-305 S6898 [19:33] theshadow, did you ask over in #ubuntu-server -- the dead channel? heh [19:33] brad__: checked the cd ? [19:33] yes [19:33] I md5ed the iso [19:33] i just install ubuntu 8.1 on an acer 5335. I also install 8.1 on a different acer 5335. The first time I installed the wireless worked without any updates. the second time the wireless did not work. whats up? [19:34] and the disk itself, and they match the checksum on the website [19:34] geoaxis: put Flash block on in Firefox the add on yeah. and then you can run Mozilla's Flash plugin no problem in other browsers that use it such as, Epiphany, Galeon, and Seamonkey [19:34] brad__: there also is a boot-choice check media [19:34] I am pretty sure it isn't the media [19:34] geoaxis: and then you can use Firefox for other stuff [19:34] brad__: what a machine are you using ? [19:34] by the time it panics, the keyboard leds blink, and there is no way to debug it find out what went wrong [19:34] hp 530j [19:34] geoaxis: basically make it so you can use that FLash, but not in Firefox only other browsers [19:35] sebsebseb: let me try [19:35] 8.04 boots fine [19:35] which is what I am using now [19:35] geoaxis: I think the add on is called Flash block or something like that. you will find one I expect [19:35] so something changed between 8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04 [19:35] theshadow, you try this? sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename [19:35] user___: sorry it took so long, first time doing that :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/135032/ [19:35] amitbk: do you think this might be relevant? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/226397 [19:35] LjL: yeah, that helps it [19:35] ShinyHat: dont worry ;-) [19:35] i forgot my user password -- how do i reset? [19:36] I have been dual-booting ubuntu 8.10 from an external hard drive, as my vista is rather destroyed. =X I have decided that I'd prefer to install Ubuntu as my main OS so that I don't have to boot from my external hard drive. I know how to go about doing this, but my only question is if there is a way to install my external hard drive Ubuntu (to keep settings, apps, etc), or if there is a way to import settings and files once a new ubuntu is installed on [19:36] yep [19:36] mrwes: yes [19:36] are there any other distros that work as well and easy as ubuntu? [19:36] bonhoffer: what version? [19:36] I just installed 8.1 on an acer 5335 and the wireless does not work. But I just installed 8.1 on a different acer 5335 and it worked from a fresh install.

[19:38] bey0ndall, backup your home folder, and reinstall, with seperate /home and install the same apps, howtoforge has guide for saving your package list..the restore your home [19:38] amitbk: are you sure you have no temperature detection? laptops usually do, you can probably see it from ACPI or by installing "lm-sensors". anyway, a workaround i can think of is installing the "toshset" package, which will let you control the fan manually on Toshiba laptops [19:39] ShinyHat, maybe /media ?

[19:40] user___: not in /mnt either [19:41] deany: no it's not [19:41] Ljl: i installed lm-sensors as I didn't have the temp reading with intrepid after i installed it. see what i get now: http://pastebin.com/m2605a495 [19:41] mrwes: what do you suggest? ;-) [19:41] not far away..... [19:41] ShinyHat, a samba share from another computer? if so, you need to look in the /etc/samba/smb.conf and see where/what's shared [19:41] deany: no, it's ten days away, and a lot of things can break in ten days. [19:41] deany: yep and the final release is on like 23rd Aprli [19:41] ShinyHat: 'mount' might help us [19:42] lol.. well that changes things [19:42] ok, its got a long way yet [19:42] amitbk: alright, so acpi isn't helping... anyway give toshset a try, you could always perhaps set it on crontab to turn the fan off every couple of minutes [19:42] deany: yep and this alpha6 is not that impressive, altough I have come across two imporvements to Gnome that I like a lot :) [19:42] ShinyHat, here's my samba shares mounted: //192.168.1.101/MyFiles on /home/bill/SharedFiles type cifs (rw,mand) [19:42] hello all....

Same install disk. Is there a way to enable wireless? [19:43] epaphus, did you flag the partition as 'boot' ? [19:43] LjL: do you think there might be a way to get the lm-sensors to properly detect the CPU temp? after all I would like the fan to work when needed, and not just manually start and stop it... [19:44] deany, how? .. mrwes .. i just did the general install from ubuntu 8.10... i think it should have done this automatically right? [19:44] mrwes: hopefully you guys will be here in a bit, i need to go take care of something- brb === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [19:44] ShinyHat, get me a beer while you're at it will ya?

[19:44] deany, how do I do that if I cannot enter the OS? [19:45] i dont mean to be pushy, but can any one see my messages? [19:45] sudo fdisk -l [19:45] amitbk: well, you should run "sudo sensors-detect" to get lm-sensors to work. but even then, that just gives you temperature *readings*, it won't control your fan (there used to be a script included to do that, but it wasn't reliable so it was removed) [19:46] LjL: so what controls the fan in laptops running ubuntu?

[19:56] * under "boot" i might add [19:56] how can i find out if i have one or two sticks of ram in my laptop, and if just one, whether or not i have an additional port open? [19:57] Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager -d" [19:57] sudo [19:57] cached: I'm not positive about ram, but try 'sudo lshw' === nic_ is now known as nmanoogian [19:58] hello [19:58] oops wrong window [19:58] Is it possible to upgrade to the new GNOME release from Intrepid? [19:58] corinth: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:58] how well does songbird run on ubuntu? [19:58] corinth: easier and better to just stay with the version you get in Ubuntu [19:59] corinth: if its not installed you will need an extra repo adding, or compile source [19:59] Jeruvy: thanks! that did it [19:59] ActionParsnip: What repo? [19:59] meteor, would run better with an EQ... [19:59] corinth: or you can get the 9.04 alpha6 for later stuff, but a few bugs [19:59] cached: awesome! [19:59] Anyone got an idea for me to merge multiple SOCKS-over-ssh-proxies into a single one? [19:59] corinth: not sure, you'll have to hunt around [20:00] what does gnome use to do its font hinting? can it be narrowed down to a single package or app? [20:00] x [20:00] Soz, DC'ed [20:00] Anyone got an idea for me to merge multiple SOCKS-over-ssh-proxies into a single one? [20:01] hey all! [20:01] I messed up my modules.. how do I reinstall them? [20:01] !hi | orangey [20:01] orangey: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [20:01] i.e., which package? [20:01] Stevethe1irate - afaik, you can only activate one port per ssh instance [20:01] I don't seen an obvious "modules" package. [20:02] which modules? [20:02] sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda [20:02] dayo: usbhid [20:02] oops, miswindonw [20:02] dayo: I was trying to compile in forcefeedback. [20:02] !danger | gordonjcp [20:02] gordonjcp: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [20:02] yes yes [20:03] Stevethe1irate: hmw is right, but I have heard of products that may do that. Sorry I don't know off hand. [20:03] hmw: Yeah. I have 10 sequential tunnels [20:03] ports 10000 -> 10010 [20:03] nobody run that command, and also make sure you type it in the right terminal [20:03] orangey: never heard of it, sorry [20:03] hi, is it possible to set the root management like the Debian way? I mean, having a password for the root user and a different one for a regular user? [20:03] I want to make a common port [praps via squid or something] that uses all of the uplinks equally. [20:03] life in 1024x600 is not as simple as I'd have hoped :( [20:03] dayo: It's a bit beside the point. [20:03] I just want to reinstall the generic set of modules. [20:03] rvaras: short answer, no [20:03] Lately I have been noticing that when I right click on a file or folder it will open it without giving me the properties window has anyone else seen this or is this just me? [20:03] rww: you're right of course, it should have bs=512 at the end [20:03] So like load balancing over socks proxies. [20:04] rvaras: you dont need root, nor should you [20:04] !root | rvaras [20:04] rvaras: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:04] I am the owner of the notebook ;) [20:04] andrews: it could be due to the cursor position on the first item in the right-click menu, I do that also. [20:04] rvaras, why [20:04] rvaras: using a root account instead of sudo is not supported by this channel. If you want to figure out how to do it, you're on your own. [20:04] rvaras: don't set a root password [20:04] !noroot [20:04] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [20:05] is there a way to make the sticky notes not hide when I click on my desktop? [20:05] hola a todos [20:05] deany, I'm kind of coming back from suse [20:05] hi, Is there an ubuntu beta for 9.04 yet? [20:05] orangey: assuming you are using the latest intrepid kernel sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-7-generic [20:05] the93D: thursday its out [20:05] the93D: no still on alpha6 [20:05] brings mrwes an ice cold beer [20:06] rvaras, you shouldnt and dont need to set a pass for root [20:06] Stevethe1irate: hmm that gave me a thought that maybe you could implement this via the router instead of the computer...especially if it supports session management. [20:06] When I try to open a terminal in Ubuntu, all it displays is white, but I can still use it. I just can't see anything. How can I fix this? [20:06] hey, can anyone tell me how to make a user only see his own homedirectory instead of everything? [20:06] ActionParsnip: that includes restricted and non-restricted modules? [20:06] orangey: try this: dpkg --configure -a [20:06] * gordonjcp listens to 320GB of zeros being written to disk [20:06] MasterPa: you can't [20:06] MasterPa: for a very simple and obvious reason [20:06] dayo: Doesn't that walk me through reconfiguring *everything*? [20:06] ActionParsnip, hmm.. I see. Thanks. The reason is I need a native install of ubuntu, but 8.10 doesnt work on my laptop because the nvidia card is too new and the kernel doesn't seem to support it. [20:06] I can't restrict him on is own homedir? [20:06] Jeruvy: Probably so, it does seem like it is selecting the what the cursor is over but I don't understand why it just started doing that for me. It's like it got way more sensitive. [20:06] and I wanted something to work with, especially with GSoC coming up [20:06] deany, so suse works a different way like having a separate password if you wish, and that way it worked fine for me. Fedora and openSUSE let you do it, why you say I dont need it for ubuntu? [20:07] MasterPa: what would happen if your user was restricted from /bin ? [20:07] MasterPa, he is restricted to his home... priveledge wise [20:07] orangey: everything that's not configured or broken [20:07] but he can see more deany [20:07] write priv that is [20:07] dayo: Nothing is broken. [20:07] rvaras: yes it is possible, but usually not needed. sudo -i gets you to root without activating the root account. It is possible, that a simple typo can destroy your system, so youre on your own, if you use it. [20:07] dayo: maybe a better question is: How do I find out which package a particular file is in? [20:07] so what if he can see more.. he cant affect anything. [20:07] MasterPa: if your user couldn't see /bin/ what would happen? [20:07] andrews: most likely the mouse and timing, but for me it isn't worth troubleshooting. Bigger fish to fry :) If I use a mouse with a higher resolution I don't notice it as often. Perhaps someone else has more ideas. [20:08] I don't know gordonjcp [20:08] do you want to hide other home folders from him? [20:08] orangey: yeah should be ok [20:08] yes deany [20:08] orangey: check the man pages for apt-get and aptitude [20:08] I would like to hide / from him, so he can only see his home :D [20:08] MasterPa: well, what do you suppose would happen if you weren't allowed to read, say, /usr/bin and you wanted to run firefox? [20:08] OK thanks [20:09] hiding / from him serves no purpose, as he has no rights to make/remove files/folders from it... [20:09] gordonjcp, I wasn't clear. I've got a ubuntu server and I would like a user to have access to his own homedir so he can changes files in there [20:09] Jeruvy: I do have pretty old mouse [20:09] MasterPa: you can do that [20:09] okey :D [20:10] MasterPa: but the user must still be able to see other files in the filesystem, otherwise none of the programs will work [20:10] * MasterPa is a n00b on ubuntu server [20:10] Anybody know off-hand how to search for which package contains a particular file? [20:10] well, okey [20:10] I'll try [20:10] http://www.freshports.org/x11-clocks/gdesklets-countdown/ --> none of that commends work [20:10] orangey: second search box on http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , or apt-file [20:10] orangey, http://packages.ubuntu.com has the feature. [20:11] thank you [20:11] t [20:12] * scunizi isn't seeing any scrolling [20:12] i have problems with my mysql ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [20:13] well, thanks deany and gordonjcp for the help :w [20:13] Any terminal command that brings me some information about my ubuntu install?

Anyone know where? =) [20:15] where even movies lag sometimes as soon as something happends on the disk (downloading something for example) [20:15] MrSunshine: my ubuntu 8.10 is about 10% slower (in terms of visible speed) than my fedora 10.

[20:17] jeremy_c, reiserfs [20:17] jeremy_c, [20:17] Jeruvy, [20:17] :) [20:17] So I want to uninstall gnome, I'm thinking about running apt-get remove gnome*, from the looks of it, that's the right thing to do. It should get rid of packages I don't want... Any suggestions on the proper way to remove the majority of gnome files? [20:17] MrSunshine: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:17] been using that efore also, its the last like year performance of linux has become worse and worse [20:17] alright.. interesting follow-up question. I simply want to change one small thing in the .config to add ONE module. I don't want to have to recompile everything. Is that possible? or a pipe-dream? [20:17] servo888: I lie debfoster [20:17] hi, I have added new syntax highlighting to gedit, but I can't se the files in file browser, any ideas how to fix it [20:18] s/lie/like/ [20:18] hi all [20:18] i'm having trouble making my webcam work with flash [20:18] like youtube [20:18] MrSunshine, try a different ioscheduler [20:19] deany, how?

[20:23] hello,there [20:23] yunus: yep, or (depending on what you're doing), you can keep them the same by keeping the same encrpyted form [20:23] For some reason they all moved when I logged on, and I can't figure out how to move them back [20:23] Anyone has any idea what's virtual device and it's temp1?

[20:25] Aizawa: no you are *not*, welcome to the club :)) [20:26] What about copying mail from one user to another, how do I do this - and both users must download same [20:26] hmm, MrSunshine well i dunno then... I have found using JFS is a lot faster, but i only use it for external drive [20:26] yunus: maybe you begin again, by telling us your real problem? [20:27] whats the command to find out what kernel im using? [20:27] can any1 help me with a lightweight dock?

I've checked the path and for some reason it's referring to "hardy" instead of the iso's "intrepid" version. Can someone please help me out where ii change this? [20:27] thanks [20:27] Hi everyone [20:27] MrSunshine, i guess you could use it for /home ok ..

You never know :) [20:29] MrSunshine, i dont experience any lag so i dont know really.. === ehempel_ is now known as ehempel [20:29] erUSUL: there is no loop* file in /dev [20:29] Hi everyone! does anyone have suggestions of a VPN server to run on my Ubuntu Server? [20:29] ryant: oh ok, then I'll give it a try [20:29] jerrysun: man loosetup ? but the devices should be creted automatically when you mount an image file over loop [20:30] Jeruvy, Thanks, I will [20:30] jerrysun: you do not have to create them upfront in most cases [20:30] yunus: for mail to two people at once: put both addresses into the to: field of the mail === ensarman is now known as red-eye [20:30] yunus: well, then he just has to mention both of them in the "To" field, hasn't he ? [20:30] Is it possible to change colour at the name of the application running in the bottom pannel? [20:31] yes this I know - but my boss does not want that, he forwards all mail to me and ubuntu forwards to the other tech [20:31] his being difficult [20:31] yunus: use Bcc: then. [20:31] Hello all. I'm having trouble compiling the native drivers for my ralink wireless card. Would anyone be willing to look at the compiler error I'm getting? http://pastebin.com/m10de9f76 [20:32] yunus: who manages the mail server? [20:32] erUSUL: but when i typed "sudo mount -o loop /mnt /file.iso /media" ,it shows that there is no loop files [20:32] no one - the guy left [20:32] It is now me for I don't know how long [20:32] jerrysun: o.0! can you show me the exact error ? [20:33] The_Drizzle: did you ./configure this first? [20:33] I cant see my desktop icons, what have I done? :O [20:33] erUSUL: ok, wait a minute [20:33] yunus: I'm sorry but we cannot teach you to manage a mail server *here*, your other problem was: find the information in the directory of the tech who left the company? [20:34] Thank you [20:34] ok [20:34] erUSUL: mount: could not find any device /dev/loop# [20:34] bye [20:34] Jeruvy, The instructions that came with the package did not include that step [20:34] jerrysun: « lsmod | grep loop » returns anything ? [20:35] yunus: wait, the other part *could* be solved, I think [20:35] can i get rid of pulse audio somehow? [20:35] hell that app is sucking 10 - 20% cpu [20:35] how do I restart nautilus ? [20:35] erUSUL: nothing returned [20:36] The_Drizzle: try that first, then 'make' again, then 'sudo make install' you should check the package for any specific docs for the various options for the ./configure [20:36] how do i change the keyboard as soon as i log in ? it doesnt change to the right language untill im in kde.. [20:36] jerrysun: weird do « sudo modprobe loop » [20:36] Jeruvy, the package doesn't come with a configure utility. There are specific instructions for editing the Makefile by hand, which I did [20:37] The_Drizzle: ok. then you need to verify all the paths in the makefile manually :( [20:37] erUSUL: no result [20:37] I am installed ubuntu onto an eee pc and i am working through this how to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=963259&highlight=asus+1000h but something is amiss [20:37] jerrysun: try again to mount the iso file [20:38] Jeruvy, Holy cancel my hot date tonight! Is there no way to tell what is causing the error by looking at the compiler output? [20:38] I am instructed to download http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/...01_1000.tar.gz but it is nowhere to be found, do any of yooou know where it i can find it? [20:38] erUSUL: it works!

[20:39] The_Drizzle: it can't find the shared objects in the makefile. Hence why I asked if you ./configured it first. And ya better order pizza :) [20:39] jerrysun: it is very weird that the loop module is not loaded at boot in you installation. it should [20:39] guys, i have a major problem [20:39] i bought a micro sd card, and put it into my blackberry pearl, and it worked fine. The minute i put it into my ubuntu system, all hell broke lose [20:39] erUSUL:hehe [20:39] jerrysun: anyway do this « echo loop | sudo tee -a /etc/modules » [20:39] is there a way to format this card back to factory settings ? [20:39] i.e. unformated ? [20:39] or at very least, to fat16 [20:39] erUSUL: thank u so much! [20:40] jerrysun: no problem [20:40] How can I find out what programs are using up the most RAM? [20:40] top [20:40] i guess [20:40] no [20:40] <[MindVirus]> Can I install something as a dependency? [20:40] I need it sorted. [20:40] CokeNCode: you want to format a card to an unformatted state? use gparted and just delete the partition [20:40] Suhail, what's wrong with top ? [20:40] Suhail: use htop [20:40] k [20:40] Suhail: use top or htop an order the programs by memory use. hitting capital M iirc [20:40] Suhail:conky, top, htop [20:41] Jeruvy, Arg. Okay, back to the drawing board. Thanks for your input [20:41] <[MindVirus]> Nevermind. Can someone suggest me a program that depends on libpng3? [20:41] guntbert: htop looks pretty [20:41] Suhail: yes :-) [20:41] [MindVirus]: what are you trying to get working with libpng3? [20:41] i removed pulse audio, audio works fine when i do test in sound preferences but no sound in movies anymore ? [20:41] <[MindVirus]> scunizi, StepMania. [20:41] The_Drizzle: np, good luck.

[22:16] Seveas: need to figure this out [22:17] Goldwing, nat + dhcp relay could work and might be easier than bridging :) [22:17] lighttitan: mount (with no args),is it mounted ? [22:17] anyone here knows a good way of backing up the home folder to DVD (including hidden files)? [22:17] Seveas : ok, but another critical thing, ALL traffic has to be allowed both ways [22:17] hi, i installed ubuntu hardy just now, my pidgin didnt support the wlm protocol, i installed msn-pecan package, but it still doesn't work, i cant autenticate my account... can you help me?

[22:19] Hezy: it wil burn the hidden files as well [22:20] Goldwing: I'd say your problem belongs more in ##networking [22:20] DasEi: ext3 and has lots of movies on it I don't want to lose >.< [22:20] DasEi, what ? I don't understand your question [22:20] Tar the whole dir to a file.. using theproper commands and burn archive to dvd is a good way also [22:20] dr_willis, found this: http://forum.eeebuntu.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2019 and seems to work.

[22:23] lighttitan: it might appear on the grup but you won't be able to access the partition [22:23] lighttitan: could try to repair it, try hdparm -z on it first [22:23] sebsebseb: Thunar says I have 3.2GB in the folder, but Brasero says it's only 1.2GB. I was thinking the difference is in hidden files [22:24] DasEi: k3b fails also. On both machines [22:24] Hezy: the hidden files are tiny [22:25] unless its the .Trash or other caches..

[22:26] tomvolek_, I am not aware of an utility which clones both part images and the part map, you could use partimage and dd for the partition map saving, however most of the times you dont want to copy the part map because disks have different sizes [22:26] xisco: ah , limitation, I mostly use the ff plugin videodownloadhelper to store them on hd, then watch with vlc, has lot of configs then; often the raw-material isn't too good [22:26] hey all. i'm looking for 'rc.d' on Ubuntu, if it has one. i'm used to it being in /etc/rc.d - where is this file, or similar file, on Ubuntu?

[22:48] 16 [22:48] Do you know me? [22:48] puddle: thought you would be about that age, because of the way you speak [22:48] sebsebseb: sure, but you didn't use brasero, and this app is the problem [22:48] lol sebsebseb that is correct [22:48] im 15 [22:48] sebastien your a clever guy [22:48] Hezy: get something else to burn with [22:49] puddle: what about Windows 3D gaming? [22:49] im not a gammar [22:49] :X [22:49] Hezy: K3B is rather nice, but that will put on some KDE stuff [22:49] puddle: fine you dont' need Vista [22:49] <`brandon> how do i make the mouse faster? [22:50] puddle: that makes instaling Ubuntu rather easy [22:50] ok cool. [22:50] hei, I was wondering if someone can help me out with my audio. I have ubuntu 8.10 and it was working with pulseaudio since day one. However, the other day my computer froze while trying to play a wmv video through firefox so I rebooted. Ever since then my audio has not worked and when I go to my volume controls, the decibels are always in the negatives. The left most value is negative infinity and the right most value is 0 [22:50] sebsebseb: I'm apt-getting gnomebaker as we speak [22:50] I just want ubuntu wanted linux for ages :X [22:50] puddle: ok first of all download the ISO [22:51] !sound | coeus82 [22:51] Can you DUAL boot by having UBUNTU on one HARD DRIVe and WINDOWS on a seprate hard drive? [22:51] coeus82: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [22:51] hey sebsebseb [22:51] This is justin_ [22:51] sebastien i have ISO already [22:51] k0pp helped me [22:51] justinnfx: yes I don't know who you are, and yes you can do that [22:51] puddle: ok md5sum the ISO before burning to a CD. [22:52] ok [22:52] Wont there be two master boot records one on one drive and one on another [22:52] puddle: you know how to md5sum? you compare the codes [22:52] justinnfx: well Grub the bootloader will go on the MBR of your primary hard disk [22:52] hmm not really lol [22:52] i'll try :S [22:52] puddle: wait i'll get you links hang on [22:52] <`brandon> !mouse | brandon [22:52] brandon: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [22:52] What should you make your primary hard drive. [22:52] ok cheers sebastien [22:53] <_infidel> !ldbm [22:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about ldbm [22:53] DasEi: Just to frustrated here.....tried everything and still no luck. I find myself working more and more in XP because things just don't work in Linux. Not all their fault though. [22:53] justinnfx: what do you mean? [22:53] Hello there. I need some help with partitions, can someone can help me? pm pls [22:53] Arent they all considered Primary, right now I installing winxp on one, vista on another, and ubuntu on another [22:53] snooser: heh 3 guys wanting to do partition stuff all at once :d [22:53] keithclark: can't follow you there, I have 3 different boxes doing it fine [22:54] OH NO [22:54] sebsebseb, hi :D [22:54] three drives in totals, Is there any certain ordre which i should i install the oS [22:54] snooser: are you on Ubuntu Live CD? [22:54] so in other word im triple booting with three seperate harddrives [22:54] DasEi: No problem. I guess my machines are the issue. Compaq R4000, HP a1211n are two of them. [22:54] DasEi: pretty stock machines [22:55] justinnfx: if your doing Windows make sure that's on there first, before putting Ubuntu on, because otherwise it's a bit of a pain to put Grub back on [22:55] !grub [22:55] 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 [22:55] DasEi: the other is homemade. I can understand issues there [22:55] Hi everybody. What should my "TERM" environment variable be set to? [22:55] sebsebseb no. I have no partitions and i have winvista installed. its ok to make now partitions or its better to format first? [22:55] And where do I change it... [22:55] justinnfx i used to do that. slackware on first, win2k on 2nd, and freebsd on the 3rd. didn't matter what order or anything. but sebsebseb is right, putting windows on first, then your other OS's, is much easier for boot menu configs [22:55] keithclark: mine are srew-boxes, too; the nero did for me on suse, where there was no other way [22:55] snooser: ok you want to dual boot [22:55] *screw [22:56] sebsebseb yea [22:56] DasEi: ah, so writing is an issue [22:56] snooser: actsaully let's go pm [22:56] snooser: like you wanted [22:56] <`brandon> is there any way i can have more that 2 workspaces? [22:56] sebsebseb ok [22:56] keithclark: not for me since 8.04 [22:56] . [22:56] DasEi: Ok, understood. Just my machines then. [22:57] keithclark: does /var/log/syslog complain about cdrom (use search function) [22:57] I am the one who messed up my win xp by installing a vista boot record before i installed vista [22:57] DasEi: went down that route earlier. No issues [22:57] `brandon, are you running compiz or not? [22:57] <`brandon> no [22:58] <`brandon> i am running the newest Ubuntu. [22:58] Is there anyway you can use GRUB by istelf without UBUNTU because i messed up my MBR and for some reason I can't install ubuntu on my other pc [22:58] keithclark: want me to send a cd ? ;-) [22:58] !pastbin > sergiu [22:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastbin [22:58] `brandon, then go the bottom right corner and right click on the two desktop icons | preferences and change to whatever you want [22:58] !paste [22:58] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [22:58] DasEi: of what? The videos that I want to burn? [22:58] <`brandon> !pastebin | sergiu [22:58] sergiu: please see above [22:58] Hi everybody. What should my "TERM" bash environment variable be set to? [22:58] justinnfx: ok getting your links [22:58] why did ubuntu withdrawn from GSoC? [22:58] keithclark: was a joke [22:59] DasEi: ah, sorry....humour is fading I'm afraid [22:59] Can you use GRUB as a bootloader just for windows, without ubuntu installed [22:59] :) [22:59] justinnfx: you mean just for Ubuntu? [22:59] justinnfx, why would you need a bootloader without linux installed? [22:59] I messed up my other computer boot record and it windows and i am wondering if i can use grub [23:00] no ubuntu wont work on that computer i was wondering if could use grub alone [23:00] justinnfx, Yes, that's possible. You'll need a live/rescue CD [23:00] DasEi: Just so frustrated. Machines will boot from the dvd drive. They will see games from them. Just not write to them. makes no sense to me [23:00] justinnfx: possible, check out supergrubdisk (google) [23:00] <`brandon> mrwes: thank you [23:01] grub has been used in this household as an acceptable bootloader for windows-only pc's. yes [23:01] I can get it starting up i installed another version of xp on it [23:01] keithclark: thatt's bad; whatexactly do you get ? permission-problems maybe ? [23:01] can i just go download grub and it will work [23:01] DasEi: no, media issues....cannot write to it with the current plugins [23:01] can you dual boot two xp's [23:02] justinnfx yes [23:02] `brandon, sure [23:02] DasEi: I've tried dvd +RW, CD -RW, DVD +R [23:02] justinnfx: for the md5sum of the ISO, get this program: http://www.md5summer.org/download.html and then run it and the code you get for the ISO compare it with the code found here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/MD5SUMS the codes should match [23:02] DasEi: Same errors [23:02] justinnfx: yes the latest is a beta so get that [23:03] <_Whipper> cd/dvd-r works the best.. [23:03] can someone familiar with dmraid please take a look at this http://pastebin.com/m35a347bd [23:03] _Whipper: depending on the drive installed [23:03] is it possible to burn mpeg format to dvd in ubuntu? [23:03] What do install first VISTA OR XP if you do that [23:03] <_Whipper> keithclark: true [23:03] I remember i that before and one got whi;ped out [23:04] those are the two hds of my raid 0 set, both identified as 320gb capacity, but one supposedly has double the blocks it should and thus dmraid gets confused and can't mount [23:04] shane8002, dvd format? use DeVeDe [23:04] how do i fix that [23:04] join #windows, justinnfx [23:05] yeah im tryin to burn movies that are in mpeg format to dvd so i can watch them on a regular dvd player. [23:05] <_Whipper> *doh* [23:05] is it possible to have a VNC server that only accepts SSH-tunneled connections? [23:06] Is someone aware of a file manager that can search for duplicates based on content/file name and or metadata for linux? [23:06] <_Whipper> morgan: thunar? === christian is now known as Guest16686 [23:06] i have an ipod touch and i need iTunes.. can i run iTunes with WINE? [23:06] idk if there is windows channelon freenode [23:06] justinnfx: ##windows [23:07] doh I didn t even try it went to krusader and gnome commander [23:07] <_Whipper> RxDx: just what that UB has to do with that ?-) [23:07] thanks _Whipper I'll look into it === Guest57891 is now known as timburke [23:07] how can i find file libtcl.so? [23:08] _Whipper, if i can run itunes with wine.. i wont use windows anymore.. ill install ubuntu [23:08] how should the syntax be? [23:08] <_Whipper> RxDx: ok [23:08] i'm reading online, and there are tutorials that teach how to configure saned but none that teach how to start it... does anyone know how? [23:08] <_Whipper> RxDx: good luck [23:08] _Whipper, can i run itunes with wine? [23:09] how do you change the order of operathing systems on an older grub boot screen? [23:09] hmm, those sound tips didn't work. Is there a way to completely remove pulseaudio including all the settings, then reinstall from scratch? [23:09] <_Whipper> RxDx: dunno [23:09] tnks [23:09] rxdx check, apps.wine.com [23:09] davey____: /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:09] if it's gold it should be good [23:09] davey____, ill.. thanks dude [23:10] DasEi, is it plain text i can just edit with like pico or something? [23:10] davey____: yep [23:10] I am getting an error about "TERM Variable not set" on a bash command line. Any ideas? [23:11] The_Drizzle: which terminal emulator are you using? (gnome-terminal, konsole, xterm, etc.) [23:12] none. This is straight-up command line! [23:12] DasEi, thanks [23:12] np [23:12] Ok, so I have a raid 5 setup. I added another drive to it and it is in the process of reshaping. I have uped the speed_limit_min from 1000K/s to 10000K/s but I only see a raise in speed from 1500K/s to 3700K/s. From what I have found thur google it should have increased alot more the just 1200k/s and I have tried other speeds too (lower and higher values). The max is set at 200000K/s, any suggests on getting to speed up? [23:13] The_Drizzle: http://schestowitz.com/UseNet/2005/August_2005_3/msg00075.html [23:13] The_Drizzle: i googled that just now [23:13] sparky_, raid 5? [23:14] what? it is setup on ubuntu 8.04.2 server [23:14] dayo, I say that, too. Problem is, I'm not using cron. I'm just trying to run "clear" [23:14] dayo, I saw that, too. Problem is, I'm not using cron. I'm just trying to run "clear" [23:14] Hello guys, I want to learn how to rename the kernel... does this require me to rebuild the kernel? [23:15] epaphus: Why do you want to rename the kernel? [23:15] <_Whipper> :) and what would uyou call it then ?-) [23:15] Flannel, for recreational purposes only.. :) [23:16] <_Whipper> epaphus: i think Torwalds would not be very pleased.. :) [23:17] it will always be linu [23:17] linux [23:17] <_VIM_> ka__: yes its possible with x11vnc with a ssh tunnel, and you don't have to have port 5900-5901 open, i think just port 22 for the ssh, then: ssh -t -L 5900:localhost:5900 user@host '\' 'x11vnc -ncache 20 -localhost -display :0' [23:18] sparky_, i was just wondering, i had to read it a few times on the internet to understand there was such a thing, i'm sorry i'm still running ubuntu 5.1 never seen these options [23:18] epaphus, You can call it whatever you want as long as grub knows what it's called! [23:18] where do i find the source code of basic commands like ls, cp and cd ? [23:18] dayo, www.gnu.org? [23:18] <_Whipper> !kernel [23:18] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [23:19] dayo: I think they're in the coreutils package, so get the source for that [23:19] i'm getting problem when i run a movie , screen is blacking , why it happens? [23:19] The_Drizzle, right.. so for that I just have to download the kernel source and rebuild it.. correct? ... [23:19] ok I've had a look in Thunar but can't find a function to search a folder for duplicates, is that something that needs to be configured /activated first? [23:19] that's something i've wondered about lately. custom kernel builds. back in my old slackware days, it was essential to build your own, for security and system resources reasons. is that not the case now? [23:19]  tq|Memphis:which app ? [23:20] morgan: duplicate what? [23:20] mhall119: doing that now. thanks! [23:20] <_Whipper> epaphus: If you have to ask that, dont.. [23:20] epaphus, You shouldn't even have to do that. Just look in /boot/ for your kernel image and rename it, making sure to tell grub the new name (and run grub-install) [23:20] DasEi: all ( VCL , Movie Player , Kaffeine [23:20] DasEi: is it a codec problem? [23:20] how can I find out why my blacklist entry is not having the desired effect? it worked on 8.04 but not 8.10 [23:20] tq|Memphis: probably a video driver problem [23:20] The_Drizzle, would that give me a new name in uname -a ? [23:20] are you running compiz? [23:21] epaphus, But as _Whipper said, there's really no reason to do it (other than temping fate on boot problems) [23:21]  tq|Memphis:graphic driver correctly installed ? looking for error messages when startin f.e. vlc from terminal ? [23:21] mhall119 search for duplicate files: identical files found in more thanone sub directory [23:21] <_Whipper> militant: ofcourse u can build your kernel.. but why bother? [23:21] militant, back in the old days they only releaced i386 versions which didn't really use all the instraction sets on the prossessor, i guess now days if the number maches your prossessor it's not as big of a deal [23:21] morgan: I've never seen that in thunar [23:21]  tq|Memphis:vlc brings own codecs, so prbly not [23:21] DasEi: i'm not good with commands can yo help? [23:21] epaphus, Oh, you want to change the output from uname? [23:22] The_Drizzle, thats fine.. i just want to learn.., yes The_Drizzle [23:22] mhall119: are you aware of a file manager that can do that on Linux [23:22] Sony Vaio Pentium 4-1500 CPU, 256MB of PC-133 SDRAM <------------------------- Can this handle Ubuntu??? [23:22]  tq|Memphis:just type vlc in terminal and watch it [23:22] davey____ i was just always under the impression a smaller kernel was potentially more stable, and system resources wouldn't be used on things that aren't needed. trimming it down to just the hardware and functions your particular setup needed. [23:22] I know total commander can [23:22] DasEi: how can i learn did i install graphic driver correctly [23:22] i can afford to have the machine unbootable and start again 5 times [23:22] Dante123 : yes [23:22] <_VIM_> Dante123: easily [23:22] morgan: nope [23:22] might be add ons to nautilus or thunar that do it [23:23] _Whipper, The_Drizzle ... isnt /boot in binary format? i dont think i can edit that.. can i? [23:23]  tq|Memphis:which ubuntu do you use ? [23:23] Goldwing and _VIM_ you think gOS gadgets 3.1 or another ubuntu derivative would be better than plain ubuntu given the specs? [23:23] <_Whipper> militant: true, if you are running server.. [23:23] <_VIM_> Dante123: the 256 ram is a bit low, ram is cheap upgrade :D [23:23] mhall119: ok thanks for the info I'll look into it [23:23] Dante123: the specs are fine for plain Ubuntu, Xubuntu might swap less [23:23] <_VIM_> Dante123: im not familar with gOS [23:23] DasEi: latest version [23:23] morgan: you might want to try a command line utility like fdupes or audiosum's audiodup. [23:23] gOS = Ubuntu with awn [23:23] _VIM_ not my pc, I do have a stick of pc100 but it uses pc133 [23:23] hey [23:24] <_VIM_> Dante123: you mean Google desktop gadgets? [23:24] DasEi: http://rafb.net/p/V6Gcct95.html [23:24] _VIM_: it's an ubuntu derivative [23:24] _VIM_ gOS has google desktop gadgets built in [23:24] <_VIM_> ah [23:24] Ive used google gadgets and desktp under uibuntu also [23:24] _VIM_: http://www.thinkgos.com [23:24] <_VIM_> 256 ram for gadgets,,,,,,,,,hmmmmm [23:24] <_VIM_> me too dr_willis [23:24] mhall119 what do yo mean by "awn"? [23:24] alvarezp: but what would be the output like cause I then need to select which files to delete [23:25] Dante123: the original gOS was light weight, then they went heavy, and I think they're going light again in a future release [23:25] ive not see too many 'desktop widgits' i could not live without.. :P [23:25] !ati | tq|Memphis [23:25] tq|Memphis: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:25] militant, i've never heard of more stability, ofcorse if you hang out at #gentoo the'll tell you anything precompiled is bad, but i don't really think it's a big deal [23:25] I m afraid a cl utility would only show a long list [23:25] Dante123: AWM = Avant Window Navigator, the fancy dock bar in gOS [23:25] DasEi: looking [23:25] epaphus, Here's the easy way "1) mv /bin/uname /bin/uname.orig [23:25] 2) put the following in the new /bin/uname: [23:25] #!/bin/sh [23:25] echo Uname (New Version) [23:25] /bin/uname.orig" [23:25] The_Drizzle: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:25] aiuto, ho un HD installato, ma non mi ci fa scrivere nulla [23:26] The_Drizzle: seems rather clear to me. [23:26] morgan: for fdupes it will be a list of files, grouped by "same", for the other it is too, but with more info per line. [23:26] oh yes, i have seen it. mhall119 what would you put on this machine (for a family of four- non-techies) PC is Sony Vaio Pentium 4-1500 CPU, 256MB of PC-133 SDRAM [23:26] DasEi: ATI Technologies Inc RV530 [Radeon X1600] -> my card :> [23:26] <_Whipper> davey____: Linux for pros-1995 will tell you a lot about building :) [23:27] Dante123: if it had 512 or more memory, I'd use straight Ubuntu [23:27] The_Drizzle, indeed.. thats an easy way :) .. the hard way is to tebuild the kernel.. correct? [23:27] 256MB isn't quite enough to run several apps at a time without it swapping to disk [23:27] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI ,tq|Memphis [23:28] Dante123: if you can't get more memory, Xubuntu will run faster [23:28] epaphus, I suppose it is. Might I recommend taking an adult education class of some kind if you have this much spare time on your hands? :P [23:28] morgan: you might do "fdupes -r dir1 dir2 dir3 > output.txt" or "audiodup -p '*' dir1 dir2 dir3 | cut -d' ' -f 7- > output.txt" and in either case you will get the output captured to a file to load in gedit and precede an "rm " to the files you want to delete and paste those rm commands back in the command line to actually remove them. [23:28] mhall119 well I don't have any extra ram for this pc (except for pc100 stick but it uses pc133) so it will have to stay with 256. Would you go Xubuntu over gOs? [23:29] morgan: or whatever else you want to do with your result. [23:29] The_Drizzle, common.. iam sure you as a higher level linux user have rebuild kernels in the past.. havent you? [23:29] Dante123: yes, like I said, recent gOS releases haven't been any lighter than standard Ubuntu [23:29] in fact, they've been a bit heavier [23:29] i run ubuntu 6.10 on a machine with either 128 or 256 i remember and it runs fine [23:29] Dante123 in a pinch the pc100 will work, the other pc133 in it will clock down to match. sucks but better than being OUT of memory, as compared to just having slower memory [23:29] and its a pentium 4 [23:29] mhall119: found the sources. thanks! [23:29] epaphus, Sure, many times, but not just to display a different uname! [23:29] dayo: no problem [23:29] alvarezp: thanks - did you write the second one cause when I google it your pseudo comes up [23:29] <_Whipper> epaphus: really, library of you go :) [23:29] wisper, ya i should ask my local library for more books, there always out though [23:30] Any other ubuntu derivative that you think might work well in this situation? [23:30] What modules do I need to load to get an atheros 5XXX card working? ath5k? ath_pci? ath_hal? ath_somethingelse? === shivers316 is now known as Guest1869 [23:30] Dante123: xubuntu would work fine [23:30] The_Drizzle, yeah.. well its an experience .. so that i can say.. i have sucessfully rebuild the kernel and here is the prove hehehehe [23:30] morgan: yes. I didn't know fdupes by then. [23:30] And can you install xubuntu (and gOS) for that matter under Windows- in case they dont want it. [23:30] Dante123: you can use just a lightweight window manager like Fluxbox, but at a sacrifice of quite a bit of functionality === baddog is now known as baddog[bbs] [23:30] epaphus, I have actually never rebuilt a custom kernel in Ubuntu... I asked about it here an hour or so and was told it is not a wise decision... [23:31] especially for non-techies, I wouldn't recommend it [23:31] Dante123: what ages are the intended users? [23:31] The_Drizzle, i agree... but if I go for the default configurations.. just change the name i think i should be safe [23:32] epaphus, Best of luck :) [23:32] <_Whipper> epaphus: now you are just making joke of lin.. not funny [23:32] mhall119: u wouldn't happen to know of any commands written in python? these are all in C [23:32] dayo: not the standard shell commands, no [23:32] aiuto [23:33] mhall119 I believe the kids and the mom will use it mostly.

[23:33] _Whipper, not my intention. iam only trying to learn the basics of kernel rebuilding when further in my life I have to do it..for a real thing [23:33] Dante123: You can look at Qimo: www.qimo4kids.com but they're at the upper-end of it's targetted age range [23:33] The_Drizzle, thank you [23:33] Dante123: disclaimer: I'm the developer of Qimo, so I'm biased [23:34] but it's based on Xubuntu, and I know it will run well on that hardware [23:34] DasEi: it didnt work , any other suggestion? [23:34] <_Whipper> epaphus: then do some real work.. read, read, try, and buy a new machine and read again :) [23:34] and sorry to the room moderators for advertising, but it was relevant [23:35] tq|Memphis: system > prferences > graphics driver, or -at your own risk : [23:35] !envyNG [23:35] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [23:35] mhall119 what comes with it? Open office? chat client? [23:35] no open office, Abiword though [23:36] it points to the Ubuntu repos, so you can install openoffice if you want [23:36] or gnumeric to balance out Abiword [23:36] Dante123, pssssst.....'PuppyLinux' [23:36] Puppy is nice and small, but it uses JWM or something like that, doesn't it? [23:37] yah Joe's [23:37] his hardware isn't that old [23:37] <_Whipper> mrwes: i'd rather recommend DSL, or DSL-N if short on mem.. [23:37] it can handle XFCE without any problems [23:37] 256MB of memory isn't exactly short on mem [23:37] mrwes, yeah I know puppy pretty well. But not as nice looking or as easy to install programs to as the add/remove in ubuntu. Plus I teach one of the girls and she is in my class and we have three dell mini 9's with ubuntu...and she is familiar with it. [23:37] nod [23:37] _Whipper, sure... give me an example of something in real life where somebody would want to tweak the kernel for? ill do it [23:38] i ran a heck of a lamp box on 172mb, and still used it as a workstation with X/e16/etc. but that was years ago [23:38] epaphus: using a different scheduler, or some file system not included by default [23:38] or PAE on a 32bit system [23:38] <_Whipper> epaphus: ? you brought this up, now it ends from my side.. [23:39] mhall119 does it have pidgin or chat client built in? [23:39] militant: the cobalt raq4 hosting server had only 64MB === xxx__ is now known as _iron [23:40] g4 12 inch power book ubuntu intrepid used medibuntu got ibm jre want to make link so works in browser how do i do it [23:40] I'm stuck at the airport for 10 hrs and I want to find the spot with the best WiFi signal strength to any open network. Is there an app that would allow me to see the strength as I walk around trying to catch the best spot? The gnome network applet seems to update very slowly, definitely not enough to walk around [23:40] Dante123: it has pidgin and xchat [23:41] I really need help here with burning discs. Every disc I though at my burners comes up with "can't write to that disc with the current plug ins" [23:41] and again, you have access to the Ubuntu repos, so you can install anything extra you want before giving it out [23:41] I've tried everything === crashsystems1 is now known as crashsystems [23:41] mhall119 i may download and try in virtualbox first. Thanks === baddog[bbs] is now known as baddog [23:42] Dante123: leave any feedback you have, it's a 1.0 release, so we're looking for ways to improve it [23:42] keithclark which burning application are you using? [23:42] noodlesgc: all of them [23:42] <_Whipper> andresmh: you have a cellphone ?-) [23:42] no phone _Whipper [23:42] keithclark: I doubt that [23:43] Ok, name one === RoozbehOnline is now known as Roozbeh|Away [23:43] Brasero [23:43] K3B [23:43] I've been at this with 4 machines for days [23:43] cdrecord [23:43] gnome baker [23:43] <_Whipper> andresmh: so it will look kind of funny you wlooking around with the laptop open :) [23:43] keithclark the three that work well for me are K3B, Brasero and GnomeBaker [23:43] yes, yes, yes, yes [23:43] keithclark: CD or DVD? [23:44] mhall119: dvd/cd(vcd) [23:44] _Whipper, I know, I don't care :) [23:44] keithclark: is the disk a DVD or CD? [23:44] mhall119: i've tried dvd and cd [23:44] <_Whipper> andresmh: in that case.. there are plenty.. just do some googling.. [23:45] keithclark: do you have an ISO or what? what kind of file are you using as your source? [23:45] I'm trying to set up a Remote Desktop conenction between my Ubuntu PC and a Tablet PC running a stripped Windows version, the RD screen on Windows has a field named 'Domain' that I am unsure on what to fill with. I've tried IP address of the Ubuntu PC, router, +port number, 'local' 'localhost' etc... [23:45] have you tried any of them _Whipper? I tried WiFi radar but doesn't seem to update at all [23:45] Platypus-Man: have you tried leaving it blank? [23:45] yes [23:45] Platypus-Man: screw RD, can you use VNC? [23:46] <_Whipper> andresmh: i've tried a few that works.. but i dont recommend to do so .. === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak [23:46] can't install any software on this tablet pc, the default apps will have to do.. [23:46] hola [23:47] <_Whipper> ola [23:47] mhall119: video files [23:47] Platypus-Man: what are you running on the Ubuntu box to offer RDP? [23:47] Platypus-Man you could try WORKGROUP, and MSHOME [23:47] keithclark: ah, you're probably having to convert them to MPEG, and don't have what you need to do that [23:47] keithclark: try installing ffmpeg [23:47] see if that helps [23:48] mhall119: I cannot erase the disc without an error. Before I even begin to write to the disc! [23:48] mhall119: I've tried the default and Gnome-RDP [23:48] Platypus-Man: that's a client I believe [23:48] keithclark: wait what? you're trying to erase a DVD-R? [23:48] in Remote Desktop Viewer on Ubuntu, under "hosts nearby" it seems to find the host on this PC [23:48] <_Whipper> keithclark: your HW in shape? no funny sounds? [23:49] Platypus-Man: that's using VNC, not RDP [23:49] Platypus-Man: does your tablet have Java installed? [23:49] mhall119: I've tried to burn straight. Tried to erase first. Nothing works [23:49] _Whipper: all machines are in good shape. [23:50] _Whipper: all run fine under xp [23:50] anyone know a program i can get to edit video, specifically to add subtitles to a video i want to download [23:50] mhall119: don't think so... I'll try something with Gnome-RDP now, saw a dropdown with choice of SSH\RDP\VNC there [23:50] holaaa [23:50] how are you [23:50] keithclark: install ffmpeg, and try burning straight again [23:50] i need help with the countdown of gDesklets [23:50] <_Whipper> CostaRicanQuaker: sourceforge [23:51] Platypus-Man: again, that's the viewer, it doesn't make your Ubuntu desktop available to others === Sibert|TWw is now known as Sibert [23:51] _Whipper, sudo apt-get sourceforge ? [23:51] CostaRicanQuaker I believe that AVIDemux can add subtitles to video [23:51] <_Whipper> CostaRicanQuaker: site, not a program :) [23:51] mhall119: ffmpeg is installed already. On all machines [23:52] _Whipper, wait, i go on a website and i'm able to subtitle a file on my computer? [23:52] hi [23:52] i need help with the countdown of gDesklets [23:52] <_Whipper> CostaRicanQuaker: nah.. thats the source for stuff like that.. [23:52] anyone experiencing sudden problems with gtalk that is not reachable from kopete/pidgin?? [23:52] keithclark: what format are your source files? [23:53] _Whipper, http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/ ? [23:53] mhall119: does it matter? I cannot blank the discs without an error. They are .avis [23:53] foormea - I just tried to send something to a friend on gtalk and it got refused (503 error) [23:53] keithclark: I'm still not sure why you're trying to blank the disc [23:53] but you can connect to gtalk from pidgin/kopete? [23:53] <_Whipper> CostaRicanQuaker: dunno.. ist that a french-site?-) [23:54] keithclark: I'm not sure then, I haven't seen this problem before [23:54] mhall119: if I don't, it still gives me an error....cannot write to the disc with the current plugins [23:54] mhall119: do you know about any good Remote Desktop Hosts then? [23:54] mhall119: if it was on one machine, I would have no problem at all. [23:54] But on 4? [23:54] keithclark: I'm pretty sure it's having a problem converting your source file to the format needed for DVD (mpeg2 I think) [23:54] calmor15014: what do you use to connect to gtalk? [23:54] Platypus-Man: no [23:55] _Whipper, i dont know, you said that programme could work, [23:55] Pidgin [23:55] who can help me with gDesklets [23:55] anyone else know a program to subtitle videos? [23:55] Platypus-Man: but some of the VNC servers provide java applets that the tablet might be able to use [23:55] calmor15014: ok [23:55] <_Whipper> CostaRicanQuaker: no i did not [23:55] foormea - is that the same error you're getting?
