Taramhttp://groups.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg00:05
_VIM_kaski: go troll someplace else, just because an op hasnt caught on to you yet (I have for 5 mins now) doesnt mean they wont see what you're up to sooner or later00:06
ultrasonickeithclark, even that didnt work? are you burning into empty dvd or trying multisession ?00:06
keithclarkultrasonic: just another excuse for the family to force me back to xp00:06
_Whipperkaski: try some other channel.. like #catfight or whatever..00:06
psychicdoes anyone know of a form of ubuntu that has higher display settings than 800 by 40000:06
psychic?00:06
Krusty_Kblank cd/dvd's just dont mount at all00:07
dr_willispsychic:  that made little sence.. if your video card drivers are correct.. you can do whatever res they can do.00:07
calmor15014psychic - what are your video drivers?00:07
keithclarkultrasonic: I cannot even erase a dvd....cannot format.....anything I try with the physical dvd/cd drive is not successful.  on all machnes00:07
psychici dont know of the top its a toshiba lap top00:07
dr_willisTime to do some research then perhaps...00:07
dr_willis'toshiba laptop' is rather.. broad. :)00:08
psychici did some research on post and lots of people seem to have display trouble on toshibas00:08
_Whipperpsychic: 1440*900 on my laptop00:08
dr_willisYep - laptops can be an issue. but you need to figure out what your video card chipset is.00:08
bazwhere are driver files located, most specifically for my wifi card? I would like to copy it to a usb drive00:08
keithclarkpsychic: No problems here on my A10 laptop00:08
psychicany chance u could guide me to it real quik00:08
calmor15014Do you know what video chipset it has?00:08
StephanHi.  When I boot my system I need to deactivate and reactivate my wireless driver every time.00:08
StephanIt says 'driver is activated but not in use'00:09
psychicim a newbi to this00:09
psychici have an a 2500:09
dr_willis!ati00:09
ubottuFor Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto00:09
Stephanand I cannot see it in my connection manager until I disable and re-activate it.   How do I fix this?  And how do I make it remember the network I was last connected to or save a default SSID?00:09
_WhipperStephan: : ever heard pen and paper?-)00:10
noodlesgcbaz, I think they are in /lib/modules. wifi would be in /lib/modules /lib/modules/<kernel build & version>/build/drivers/net/wireless00:10
Stephanpen and paper for what?00:10
* Sibert gaat op BNC00:11
baznoodlesgc, thanks00:11
_WhipperStephan: to remember where you were, and SSID and stuff00:11
Stephan... that doesn't help automate anything00:11
Stephanthe point of my question is so i dont have to constantly reactivate and select the same ssid i am always using00:12
cellofellowI've installed libasound2-plugins from the source package (too enable the JACK plugin) but apt really wants to upgrade it.00:12
_WhipperStephan: sorry, my bad.00:12
Stephanlol00:12
_Whipperjep :)00:12
cellofellowCan I tell APT to go ahead but do it from the source only?00:12
Stephanim just wanting the network manager to be more like xp's or vistas =P00:12
ksbalajiI use Ubuntu 8.04 OS. I have a service zeroconf application. What do I use it for please?00:12
patoOlá =D00:13
Chousukecellofellow: you'll have to rebuild the source package manually.00:13
_WhipperStephan: Now That was rude .. :)00:13
patohello00:13
Krusty_Kyeah i hae that issue and have to do it manually sometimes there is a file u can edit to make a default connection but dont remember where00:13
Jeruvyksbalaji: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeroconf00:13
scuniziWhat does ubuntu have like Picasa's ability to create a CSS driven photo album.. I've got some shots I'd like to throw up on some spare web space and don't want to mess with CMS00:13
Chousukecellofellow: that is, if you want to upgrade.00:13
ksbalajiJeruvy, thanks.00:13
noodlesgccellofellow well I believe that installing from source does not replace the one from apt. apt installs to /usr/* source would most likely install to /usr/local/*00:13
Chousukecellofellow: you can also tell apt to hold back the package.00:14
patoDoes anyone knows portuguese?00:14
Chousukecellofellow: I think it's aptitude hold packagename00:14
militantscunizi  gallery2 is pretty awesome (though complex)00:14
scunizimilitant: I was looking at that but you need to be running your own server right? or have it on a linux based server?00:14
Stephanhmm00:14

calmor15014Guys (and gals) - quick question.  I have a Mythbuntu 8.10 x64 box that last night rebooted by itself with no prompting... where might I look in the logs to figure out what caused the event?00:15
bobzillaI'm not getting any audio through hdmi can someone please help me out with that?00:15
cellofellowno, it installed to /usr. I used the apt-get source00:15
jeremy_i need help i nstalled xubuntu and my other harddrive with ntfs would show up know i updated xubuntu and that drive dont show in my media folder?00:15
noodlesgc!pt | pato00:15
ubottupato: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.00:15
militantscunizi   you asked what ubuntu has.  so yes.  linux server.  but it doesn't have to be your own.  a lot of admins like gallery and might even be running it already00:15
sanyihi all00:16
ultrasonichi need some help ,Is there a way to find which application is using/started a certain process ..?00:16
noodlesgccellofellow, if that is so, I would try uninstalling it from apt, and just using the one you built from source00:16
Stephanwhat the hell00:16
Stephanand firefox i can play music in flash00:16
patohi sanyi00:16
Stephanbut in the music player  it says it cannot open the device for playback00:16
scunizimilitant: this is a unique situation.. just personal web space provided by my isp (10gigs) to throw individual pages up.. I think it's on a windows server.  Picasa will build a nice css driven page to display a folder of pics.. simple stuff00:16
cellofellownoodlesgc: no, I used apt-get source to build the Ubuntu package, I didn't download the tarball and install with make.00:17
militantscunizi  ok, and picasa exists for linux, and windows.  so there you go, i think?00:17
Krusty_Kso in a home environment(learning purposes) for a networking student are there any important points for installing server00:17
cellofellownoodlesgc: but for some reason I can't convince apt that the version I built is "newer" than the one in the repos.00:17
Krusty_Kaka something that would cause me to reinstall later00:17
scunizimilitant: yea.. I was resisting.. gwenview will do it but it pulls in a boat load of kde dependancies.00:17
Stephanhmm  so much for help here :(00:17
militantscunizi  also there are a few simple gallery/thumb generator scripts for linux that will make a dir you can zip up and sned over to that server00:18
noodlesgccellofellow. ah. why not upgrade using apt. then re-get the source and install that.00:18
scunizimilitant: you've got my interest00:18
cellofellowI'll see if that works.00:18
cellofellowEither way I need the version without JACK stripped out.00:19
militantlemme check for a couple, i was playing with some last night til i settled on gallery2 (for its rich featureset and being able to add pics on the fly)00:19
scunizik00:19
jeremy_i need help i nstalled xubuntu and my other harddrive with ntfs would show up know i updated xubuntu and that drive dont show in my media folder?00:19
jeremy_i need help i nstalled xubuntu and my other harddrive with ntfs would show up know i updated xubuntu and that drive dont show in my media folder?00:19
militantphoton, webmagick, and lazygal had reasonable results00:19
scunizimilitant: all in repos?00:20
jeremy_i need help i nstalled xubuntu and my other harddrive with ntfs would show up know i updated xubuntu and that drive dont show in my media folder?00:20
DasEijeremy_:does mount list it ?00:20
DasEidoes*00:20
militantscunizi  sure are, they come right up on an apt-cache search gallery00:20
bobzillaCould someone please help me.  I have tried the ubuntu forums but I can't get sound to work through hdmi on my computer.00:20
scunizimilitant: thanks.. probably just what I was looking for.. simple direct ..one off type stuff.  thanks!00:21
militantyep.  i do believe webmagick was the one that i could just specify a directory full of pics and a thumbnail size, and it made the thumbs, generated the page, and put it all in an easy to deploy package00:21
scunizimilitant: that's what I'm looking for00:22
L3dPlatedLinuxwas wondering if there is a way to back up the sources list and if there was a list of sources to make ubuntu even that much better then it already is ? (knowing that would be hard to do )00:22
jeremy_no it does not00:22
Ramesseswhat do you, guys, use to view "svgz" files? i'm trying to open one [from http://futurist.se/gldt/ ] with both gthumb and "eye of gnome" but to no avail00:22
ExcellI went through sessions to automate firestarter... when i shut it off..@ boot up it still gives me an error = you do not have permissions.....and solutions?00:23
FlannelRamesses: thats svg files that are gzipped, I believe.  Rename it to svg.gz and you should be able to unzip, and then view00:23
Excellany*00:23
RamessesFlannel, that's what i thought; i opened the "svgz" file with file archiver and it doez list one file in the "archize" but it can't extract it00:23
scunizimilitant: is webmagick gui or cli?00:23
bogdan_any opinion what is the best fedora or ubuntu  (bad things and good things exept the repo of fedora that is a pain in the ass sometime )00:24
Ramesses*archive00:24
militantcli but i suspect there's a gui frontend for it00:24
noodlesgcL3dPlatedLinux to back up your sources list. just make a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list . There are some extra repo's have you seen Medibuntu?00:24
jeremy_i need help i nstalled xubuntu and my other harddrive with ntfs would show up know i updated xubuntu and that drive dont show in my media folder?00:24
Ramessesnoone here succesfully opened a "svgz" file before? :|00:25
gordonjcpRamesses: what is it?00:25
calmor15014jeremy_ - I don't know that repeating it over and over and over and over again is going to help much... but you say it used to mount to /media/disk (or similar) and now it's not there?00:26
jeremy_yea00:26
musikgoat|mainjeremy_ is it an active drive, as in you dual boot?00:26
gordonjcp!repeat | jeremy_00:26
ubottujeremy_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience00:26
jeremy_no00:26
musikgoat|mainjeremy_: check dmesg for a problem mounting00:26
Ramessesgordonjcp, i said it before: "what do you, guys, use to view "svgz" files? i'm trying to open one [from http://futurist.se/gldt/ ] with both gthumb and "eye of gnome" but to no avail" & " i opened the "svgz" file with file archiver and it does list one file in the "archive" but it can't extract it"00:27
psychicgrep VGA00:27
reduzQuestion! I have a ViewSonic LCD monitor, but it's connected through a KVM switch, so ubuntu can't get the modelines. I want to force the resolution though to the one i know is native, how do i do this?00:27
psychicis the driver00:27
psychicsorry00:27
psychicvid trouble00:27
gordonjcpRamesses: a quick google suggests that it's a gzipped svg00:27
musikgoat|mainjeremy_: pastebin your /etc/fstab and dmesg if you don't see anything obvious00:27
Ramessesgordonjcp, care to READ what i said?00:28
noodlesgcRamesses try opening it in firefox00:28
* Shinu hates it when he accidently reboots the wrong vps00:28
gordonjcpRamesses: care to ditch the attitude?00:28
Ramessesgordonjcp, just for you i'll repeat the third time: `i opened the "svgz" file with file archiver and it does list one file in the "archive" but it can't extract it`00:28
psychicmy only option on vid settings are  640 by 480 and default00:29
psychicboth make a black box around the screen00:29
psychicand doesn't use the full display00:29
gordonjcpRamesses: well, maybe you're doing it wrong00:29
calmor15014psychic: vga is the generic driver - you'll need to install a different driver that works with whatever chipset you have in the machine (ATI, NVidia, Intel, Matrox, etc)00:29
FlannelRamesses: Have you tried inkscape?00:30
calmor15014(or choose one if Ubuntu has one available for your device - I'm not sure)00:30
psychicu know where i can get it00:30
Ramessesgordonjcp, wrong how? o opened it with the archiver [the fourth time i repeat it! ]; how can this be wrong?00:30
gordonjcpRamesses: an archiver probably isn't much good for viewing an svg file00:30
=== pedro is now known as asdd
FlannelRamesses: Also, it seems Firefox can open them.00:30
gordonjcpRamesses: come to that, neither is a bitmap viewer like EOG or gthumb00:30
Ramessesnoodlesgc, i tried firefox too but :| it doesn't open it; it only offers me to save the file or use the viewer to vie it00:31
dr_willisSVG = scalled Vector Graphocs00:31
calmor15014psychic: What model is your laptop>00:31
dr_willisuse a SVG editor.. or viewer00:31
psychicwhere could i find a driver that is not generic for xubuntu00:31
hmwhow can I search a man page for a string containing white space? (one single space in this instance)00:31
crdlbpsychic: run 'lspci | grep -i vga'00:31
musikgoat|mainhmw: maybe /00:32
mashmani got problem when im installing ubuntu it said there's no root file system to define00:32
Ramessesgordonjcp, sorry mate but you must learn to read: i tried to OPEN that file in the archiver [if it's supposed to be an archive] and *it does list one file in the "archive" but it can't extract it*00:32
gordonjcphmw: use a backslash to escape the space, or use a . to match *any* character including space00:32
musikgoat|mainsorry, /\00:32
dr_willishwm using more as the viewer i think youse  /'whaterv spaces'00:32
musikgoat|mainwith a space after00:32
gordonjcpRamesses: you're not listening00:32
noodlesgcRamesses Is it possible for me to get a copy of this file? I have had no trouble opening svgz files in EyeOfGnome, or Firefox00:32
hmwgordonjcp: thanks! musikgoat|main: no, it interprets it as some sort of command00:32
Ramessesnoodlesgc, it's from http://futurist.se/gldt/00:32
Ramessesnoodlesgc, http://futurist.se/gldt/gldt93.tar.bz200:32
StephanHow do I activate my wireless driver on boot?  Right now I have to de-activate it and re-activate it because it says:  "The driver is currently activated but not in use"  and I cannot connect to the internet until I re-activate it.00:32
mashmani got problem when im installing ubuntu it said there's no root file system to define how can you help me ?00:32
gordonjcphmw: I just type spaces as . when I'm typing a search string00:33
Ramessesgordonjcp, sorry; i won't answear to you any longer00:33
Flannelmashman: Make sure you have defined a / partition, and are formatting it.00:33
gordonjcp!attitude | Ramesses00:33
ubottuRamesses: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines00:33
mashmanuuhmmm ic00:33
mashmanok try that later00:33
hmwgordonjcp musikgoat|main : typing "/create\ mask" did the trick. thank you!00:33
gordonjcpRamesses: of course in this case the answer *is* available, and I've already pointed you in the right direction00:33
crdlbhmw: searching for a string with spaces works fine here00:33
gordonjcpRamesses: a couple of people have actually *told* you what to do00:33
hmwcrdlb: then it might be the string /create which is interpreted as a command in man?00:34
jlillyHow can I unbind alt+1 to be switch to first tab?00:34
jlillyin gnome terminal, that is.00:34
noodlesgcRamesses the file open fine in EyeOfGnome for me. Perhaps yours is corrupt?00:34
mashmanFlannel do i still need the livecd to install ubuntu perhaps i have already a copy on my hard disk ?00:34
crdlbhmw: no, that works too (though there are no matches in the manpage I'm looking at)00:34
gordonjcpnoodlesgc: oh, EOG does SVG now?00:35
Flannelmashman: You do still need the live CD.  Install it just like you were ebfore.00:35
noodlesgcgordonjcp yeah00:35
mashmanuhmmm ic that's i got a problem thanks anyway00:35
Ramessesnoodlesgc, if i try to open it in EOG it only shows a little portion of the image and i can't view the entire image even if i try to adjust the magnification00:35
gordonjcpnoodlesgc: cool, didn't know that, but then I haven't used EOG for a long time00:35
FlannelRamesses: also, (and yes, this is off topic), file a bug report with that guy regarding the fact that Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu aren't separate distros.00:35
=== solid_li` is now known as solid_liq
mashmanbecause when i put first the livecd and ask me to reboot and i have 2 boot one is xp and 2 is ubuntu and when i choose ubuntu and trying to install the problem is always occured but im not insert the cd that's why00:36
psychicany one have a moment to remote assist me in a display problem00:36
RamessesFlannel, so this could be a bug in EOG? [that's what you sugest?]00:36
psychicits not a big problem00:37
psychicjust dont know how to do it myself00:37
elateriteShopping for a new mobo. I see there has been a lot of problems with P45 chipsets. Anyone know if that is resolved in 8.04 or 8.10?00:37
FlannelRamesses: erm... no, I wasn't referencing EOG at all.  The image itself is inaccurate.  I have no idea re: EoG, but it opens fine in inkscape here.00:37
=== xiqxiq is now known as xiqxiqtest
crdlbpsychic: we don't do that00:37
psychicno one?00:37
RamessesFlannel, thanks; thank you very much, i'll try inkspace then :)00:37
gordonjcpRamesses: opens just fine in Inkscape for me too00:37
psychicok00:38
noodlesgcRamesses yes it appears that EOG renders improperly. Inkscape works00:38
crdlbpsychic: you need to determine what video card you have00:38
gordonjcp!ask | psychic00:38
ubottupsychic: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)00:38
Ramessesnoodlesgc, thanks; so, Flannel, i think i could file a bug report on EOG :D00:38
psychicok no problem00:38

xiqtesttestbut what parts00:46
musikgoat|mainXunie: so is X, and thats not user friendly00:46
rwwXunie: ircd-hybrid is a universe package, which means it was pulled from Debian00:47

Stephan_Whipper: that doesn't seem very helpful ... id rather know how the OS works than to be a jackass and lose everything I just setup for the last week00:48
musikgoat|mainxiqtesttest: is it possible that you can get the keyboard to respond to the bios?00:48
Xunierww, I mean on my debian box there clearly comes a standard conf with the package00:48
sprinkmeiertimc, so you just want to delete all .flac files in a directory tree?00:48
xiqtesttestno00:48
xiqtesttestwait i explain00:48
_WhipperStephan: you used a week to set ubuntu up? and no back-ups?00:49
timcsprinkmeier, no, i want to delete all .flac files that are in a folder with a .ape folder00:49
sprinkmeierxiqtesttest, can you drag it to a LUG for the geeks there to look at?00:49
hmwxiqtesttest: let your computer cool down for 5 minutes, then use a big book or a wooden board below the computer. on one of my notebooks, i use to put pencils below it, because it gets so hot.00:49
timcsprinkmeier, i can use find to delete .flac files in a tree, but i don't know how to add that extra condition00:49
hmwxiqtesttest: if you didnt overheat your computer for too often, it will probably work again, when it cooled down00:49
_WhipperStephan: thats the way i do things.. try & error.. :)00:50
timcsprinkmeier, something like find  /path/ -iname '*.flac' -exec rm {} \;00:50
timcshould work00:50
xiqtesttestthey work with my xbox but i think usb of motherboard is broken... BUT i connected a hub dont work00:50
bin1010what does it mean when apt-get says Package blah is not available, but is referred to by another package?  How do I find this other package?00:50
sprinkmeiertimc, OK, so one way would be to find all .ape folders, then delete all .flac files from thir parent directorieas?00:50
Stephan_Whipper: no, it didnt take a week straight lol... total time00:50
xiqtesttestwell it happened hours ago i used cooliing then00:50
sprinkmeiertimc, use "rm --interactive" in tests, just in case :-)00:51
xiqtesttestsry whats a LUG?00:51
crdlbbin1010: that it's either been removed or renamed or something like that00:51

MrDustyhey guys what package do i need under ubuntu to be able to compile .c programs ?00:57
sprinkmeiertimc, print out a set of "rm" commands that you can copy-and-paste into a terminal to remove the flac files.00:57
bin1010coolio...thanks crdlb.00:57
kaskiErm, maybe we just had the same one?00:57
crdlbMrDusty: build-essential00:57
kaskiMy friend told me to come here for Ubuntu help and this is my first time using linux00:57
Stephancrdlb: how do i automatically "use" a driver ?00:58
timcsprinkmeier, is that going to search all drives? can i limit the scope?00:58
_Whipperkaski: so whats the magic question?00:58
jedi06how would you concat two files?00:58
jedi06into a third file00:58
crdlbStephan: uh, what kind of driver?00:58
xiqtesttestthis useRgroups thing is confusing00:58
kaskiWhen I boot into Ubuntu, the loading screen progresses and then I get a wall of text in like a console type thing00:58
Stephancat file1 | cat file2 > 3rdfile00:58
kaskiThen this command prompt called BusyBox comes00:59
Stephancrdlb: its a wireless driver.00:59
kaskiIn order to continue to boot, I have to type exit00:59
KoolDwhat was the name of the app that gives u all the information about your system and is attached to the background?00:59
kaskiThis makes more text appear and the computer boots00:59
sprinkmeiertimc, yes, use a proper path instead of "." as first parameter to find00:59
kaskiIs this normal?00:59
Stephancrdlb: when i start my system, i need to goto system, admin, hardware drivers.   itll show the driver 'activated but not in use'00:59
crdlbStephan: you have no ethernet access?00:59
crdlbStephan: what's the name of the driver you see in hardware drivers?01:00
Stephancrdlb: nope, wireless works fine ... i just have to enable it manually01:00
_Whipperkaski: hmmm occasinally happened to me too.. with some distros, not with ub thou01:00
sprinkmeierkaski, no. which version of ubuntu? any mods?01:00
Stephancrdlb: it's broadcom sta wireless driver01:00
kaskiI have the latest version01:00
kaskiI believe 8.1001:00
kaskiAnd no, no mods.01:00
crdlbStephan: so by 'enable it manually', you mean modprobe?01:01
sprinkmeierkaski, are you picking the top-most option from GRUB?01:01
Stephancrdlb: no, i click deactivate, then activate  and it works .. i guess it's doing modprobe in the background?01:01
kaskiGRUB?01:01
Ndshackerhow can I make scripts?01:01
calmor15014Anyone know where to look in the logs to figure out why a machine sporadically reboot?  (If it was in fact software and not hardware)01:01
_WhipperNdshacker: old..01:01
kaskiAh you mean the one where it says stuff like Ubuntu 8.10 generic x86?01:02
slaytondoes anybody know of software that you can use to backup and restore profile files?01:02
jlillyHow can I unbind alt+1 to be switch to first tab in the terminal?01:02
sprinkmeierNdshacker, scripts are just executasblet text files. crate a file and "chmod +x" it01:02
pac1I'm looking for a way to correlate the items in /dev/disk/by-id and the items in /dev/disk/by-uuid.01:02
crdlbStephan: hmm, it sounds like some alternate driver (ie kernel module) is loading, which is breaking the one in hardware drivers, but that's just a guess01:02
_Whipperslayton: APTon01:02
crdlbjlilly: hardy or intrepid?01:03
xiqtesttestsprinkmeier: oh about my pc: the usb makes light but no response01:03
hmwcalmor15014 - it is very unlikely, that software causes such a crash, unless oyu are using strange kernel versions or other developement/instable stuff. there is not general rule, what to look for in the logs; you can only look, what did run before the crash and try to figure out, if you can recreate the error01:03
Stephancrdlb: so how would i fix this?01:03
Ndshackerso they are just a list of commands?01:03
Ndshackerand whipper >.< i have a way of learning stuff01:03
Stephancrdlb: its the hardware manager .. its not any added package.  its what came with ubuntu01:03
KattollikisdAnyone in here have a Zune that can help me out? I want to make a transfer with the application called Qlix.01:03
Ndshackerdont insult me for working from the ground up01:03
jlillycrdlb: intrepid01:03
timcsprinkmeier, i'm searching paths i know have both .ape and .flac, and nothing is printing01:04
sprinkmeierxiqtesttest, some PC's suply power to USB ports staight form the PSU, so 'intelligence' required. that might explain power but no signal01:04
crdlbStephan: yeah, but it's probably part of linux-restricted-modules, whereas some open source driver is used by default (that apparently doesn't work)01:04
_WhipperNdshacker: didnt mean no harm.. sorry if i hurt your feelings.. :)01:04
sprinkmeiertimc, pastebin it?01:04
calmor15014hmw: thanks - I have a Mythbuntu box that rebooted last night for no apparent reason (I walked past).  It also did it once when I plugged my PSP into the front panel...01:04
Stephancrdlb: how do i change the default drivers then?01:04
slayton_Whipper, not quite what I'm looking for01:04

jlillycrdlb: I see how to change it, but not how to undefine it.01:05
xiqtesttestsprinkmeier: does this mean its usb is destroyed or like you said just need cooldown?01:05
slaytonmusikgoat|main, I know about tar, but I'm thinking about writing a PyGTK app that stores everything in an SVN repo but I just wanted to check to see if anything exists yet01:05
crdlbStephan: what's the exact chipset? you can look at lspci to check01:05
crdlbjlilly: backspace01:06
jedi06Stephan that didn't work cat 1 | cat 2 | cat 3 > houses01:06
sprinkmeierkaski, yes.01:06
hmwcalmor15014: it is possible, that certain driver/hardware combinations can do this. Try to find a pattern/reproduce the failure. if you find a way to cause the reboot with a certain procedure, it will probably be software. if it happens with just anything, or you cant reproduce, it is likely to be a hardware problem. you could try the memory check (live cd at boot prompt offers such an option)01:06
slaytonI'm looking for an app that can be automated and will allow me to automagically sync any new computer to my profile01:06
kaskisprinkmeier, in that case im pretty sure i choose the first option01:06

_Whipperrandal: not straight..01:07
musikgoat|mainyes, aparently01:07
Bsims{fs}Nope still ignores it01:07
sprinkmeierkaski, not sure what's going on then. i'd need to see the box, i'm not familiar enough with the problem to remote diagnose...01:08
crdlbStephan: ok, here's what I'd do: run lsmod > working_modules; then reboot and run lsmod > broken_modules01:08
crdlbStephan: then you can diff working_modules broken_modules01:08
kaskisprinkmeier, http://www.busybox.net/screenshot.html01:08
kaskithats pretty much what i get01:08
musikgoat|mainslayton: i'm not sure about anything else though... there was an app on windows, don't know if its on linux, called mozbackup01:08
Stephancrdlb: ok.  and once i find the difference in the files,  then where do i modify the loading files?01:09
tj83_hi all.... i need some guidance in setting my ubuntu server to start a program at bootup in whatever userspace runlevel is appropriate01:09
crdlbStephan: you can blacklist any broadcom driver you see in broken but not in working01:09
calmor15014hmw: For instance, sometimes it takes forever to boot (sticks at a certain point in the splash screen)... sometimes it boots right up.  The PSP caused it to reboot once but not since then.01:09
timcsprinkmeier, the command isn't printing anything at all. i'm using        find "long/path/with spaces/" -type d -name .ape -printf "rm %p/../*.flac\n"01:09
sprinkmeierkaski, sounds like grub is dumping into busybox. sorry,  out of ideas01:10
xiqtesttestxD01:10
hmwcalmor15014: can you tell me, at what stage it hangs?01:10
kaskisprinkmeier okay thanks anyway01:10
timcsprinkmeier, but i know there are .flac files alongside .ape files in those folders.01:10
Stephanah i think i see why crdlb  :)01:10
musikgoat|maintimc: find "long/path/with\ spaces/" -type d -name *.ape...  not sure about the rest01:10
_WhipperStephan: and i remotely remember theres a workarounds for your case..01:10

_WhipperQ: how to transfer 150 photos to HD, fix'em up, and send it away, in 2hours, with Buntu ofcoors.. :)?01:31
DoctorPringlesI've installed LAMP via tasksel but it keeps asking me to download a PHP file rather than interpreting it. I have libapache2-mod-php5 installed and enabled but no luck. I'm guessing this is a common problem01:32
_VIM_"Buntu ofcoors"? explain01:32
mhall119_Whipper: phatch, if "fix'em up" means doing the same thing every time01:32
_Whipper_VIM_: "mixed ubuntu"01:32
mhall119DoctorPringles: check /etc/apache2/mods-available and /etc/apache2/mods-enabled01:33
mhall119if the php module and conf are in -available, but not -enabled, symlink them there01:33
_Whippermhall119: nope.. dont work.. some are B7W..01:33
_VIM_whipper, ok, interesting grammar :)01:33
_WhipperB/W01:33
mhall119B7W?01:33
mhall119oh01:33
mhall119so....what do you mean by fix'em up?01:34
_Whipper:I i know, im an english-teacher..01:34
mhall119english majors tend to have interesting grammar01:34

JUAN_Hello02:03
JUAN_Any girl??02:03
LjLJUAN_: this is not a chat channel.02:03
_EnchainedI'm using GNOME and would like to try KDE(4), but if possible, only install the KDE desktop and not entire Kubuntu...02:03
XunieLjL, What is it then? :P02:03
LjL!#ubuntu02:04
ubottuUbuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com02:04
LjLerr, not that02:04
JUAN_Daki?02:04
LjLXunie: this is the official Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu support questions and answers. nothing else than that02:04
calmor15014_Enchained - you can install Kubuntu-desktop from the repositories which will let you just use KDE02:04
XunieLjL, ##linux 's been nicer to me... But since you say this is a support channel! :02:05
_Enchainedcalmor15014: it wiil remove ubuntnu-desktop I think...02:05
XunieI can't get that init script working ircd-hybrid...02:05
_EnchainedI want gnome AND kde02:05
Jarredhi02:05
calmor15014_Enchained: It won't.02:05
_Enchainedok :)02:05
XunieIt needs the variable $START to be yes for it to work, Why is that?...02:05
LjL_Enchained: just install the whole kubuntu-desktop package, seriously, it's less of a headache than hunting the right packages02:05
calmor15014_Enchained: After you install it, log out and when logging back in, choose the KDE session02:05
FlannelXunie: Likely because you need to change some default stuff before it starts.02:06
LjLXunie: probably because the developers wanted to make sure one only runs something like that if one really knows what they're doing. common trick in irc bots and servers02:06
FlannelXunie: Check the README.Debian file02:06
justinnfxIf I were to tripple boot LINUX/WINDOWXP/VISTA should I got vista fisrst than xp than UBUNTU?02:06
_Enchainedcalmor15014: kubuntu-desktop will install Kmail, etc (a lot of KDE apps). I would like juste the KDE desktop, but with my GNOME apps ...02:06
_Enchainedpossible ?02:06
XunieFlannel, Maybe because it works by default on debian.. >_>02:06
calmor15014_Enchained: the only issue I've encountered on my machine is that the menus tend to get cluttered with software from both sides... I spent some time cleaning up my gnome menu...02:06
rwwjustinnfx: not sure about the Vista/XP order, but you should do Ubuntu last.02:07
FlannelXunie: Er... that has no real relevance.02:07
nightrid3rjustinnfx: sounds like the right order02:07
calmor15014_Enchained: lol that's what I was just mentioning about the install.  To be honest, I just installed them.  I'm not sure if there's an easy way to just install the DE and not the rest of the apps.02:07
XunieFlannel, No, I was typing my actual relevant item... I edited the config, But its kind of annoying to ask around to be sure to remove those lines02:07
calmor15014_Enchained:  I'm kind of a Gnome fan, but KDE apps look and interact best with KDE, so trying KDE with Gnome apps might not be a fair assessment of it anyway.02:08
_Enchainedwill try just to install kdebase ...02:08
_EnchainedJust want to look how it looks actually...02:09
timcunop, thank you very much! will this command remove the file instead of echo it's name to me? find /home/tim/test/ -name "*.ape" -printf '%h\0' | sort -uz | while read -d '' dir; do (cd $dir && rm -v *.flac); done02:09
timci think that command is exactly what i need02:10
calmor15014_Enchained:  That might work, though oddly I don't have that meta-package installed (it must not be a dependency of kubuntu-desktop02:10
FlannelXunie: There's a purpose to it.  We've explained it to you.  If you think its a bug, file a bug report.02:10
aviram_mboooooooooo02:10
calmor15014_Enchained: are you installing kdebase or kdebase-kde4?  (just out of sheer curiosity)02:10
mefisto___Enchained: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome  that's the kde packages to REMOVE, so you could work backwards and install those, minus the ones you're sure you don't want02:10
XunieFlannel, And get yelled at because of being a noob :P02:11
ryanakcaI have an Atheros wireless card in my desktop, and on average, it pings 500ms... in the laptop next to it, I have a broadcom card, that on average, pings at 94ms. Is it the driver or the card that creates the difference in speed?02:11

Flannelraymondb: Alright.  The issue stems from the fact that the libncurses5 you currently have installed is newer than the one in the repositories.  You... somehow managed that.  What you'll do is remove that one (sudo apt-get remove --purge libncurses5) and then install the proper one (sudo apt-get install libncurses5)04:28

HammerHead66Dante123: you can change master slave in BIOS when you start up your computer04:35
mshadecan't really help you there.  you should be able to determine what your system is basing the salt on for the passwd cmd and use the same with your script04:35
mshadea lo of engineering though04:36

KeevoOkay, did the dir thing05:15
RobotCowincompatible with other gobby users, cant connect05:16
Cpudan80RobotCow: oh hmm missed that -- well you can see if there is a PPA for it05:16
HammerHead66what file are there Keevo?05:16

W473Dhey whats up room... im trying do an nslookup on my dns server for security issues on ubuntu but im stuck... ls -h 192.168.1.1 prompts and says ls command is not implemented ???? how do i implement it? any idea?05:16
RobotCowCpudan80, whats a PPA?05:16
FlannelRobotCow: The Jaunty version will have that fix soon.05:16
RobotCowFlannel, i checked packages.ubuntu.com and jaunty's version is still a little out of date05:17
FlannelRobotCow: Actually, I take that back.  Jaunty already has the newest version.05:17
Cpudan80RobotCow: a repository you can add directly to synaptic so it pulls down the newer versions as they're released05:17
HammerHead66Keevo:                   sudo ./install_flash_player_10_linux.deb05:17
addissonRobotCow: try here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gobby/0.4.1-1ubuntu105:17
Keevocommand not found05:18
W473DHow do you implement commands with nslookup?05:18
FlannelRobotCow: If you're on non-jaunty, you can use prevu to backport Jaunty's version.  Which is what you want.05:18
Flannel!prevu | RobotCow05:18
ubottuRobotCow: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details05:18
HammerHead66if that doesn't work download different .tar .deb or what ever form and do it just like befor05:18
HammerHead66one will work05:18
Cpudan80Flannel: would be better to use a PPA IMHO, but doesnt look like they've got one05:19
Cpudan80only because Im guessing he wants to stay up to date05:19
FlannelCpudan80: eh?  There's nothing wrong with the Jaunty version.  Its the version he wants, and gobby is fine to backport.05:19
duxbarakmy rollover audio preview in file browser doesn't work, any suggestions?05:20
Cpudan80Flannel: well yeah, but the PPA would carry over if/when he upgrades to Jaunty  -- the prevu thing just pulls down the current version from Jaunty -- I'm assuming that will go out of date after a while ..05:20
FlannelCpudan80: yes, but he can re-backport it with prevu when he wants to upgrade.05:20
HammerHead66Keevo: did it work?05:21
KeevoNope. It said command not found.05:21
Cpudan80Flannel: kind of a moot point anyway -- no PPA for it05:21

shabgardplease help me06:22
ubottuIf 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 !MP306:22
sebsebseb!samba06:22
ubottuSamba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.06:22
HammerHead66TomH who made your motherboard?06:22
shabgardI 'm waiting06:23
sebsebsebTomH1973: Ubuntu is not Windows,  Ubuntu is one of many Linux distributions, and so you get  Linux drivers06:23
sebsebsebTomH1973: if you even need drivers06:23

ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about rdp06:28

sebsebsebthat didn't quite work out for me :D06:29
kriyas13how to signin to root user using terminal?06:29
lstarnesshabgard: make sure /etc/opt/IDEALX/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf exists06:30
lstarneskriyas13: why?06:30
sebsebseb!root |  kriyas1306:30
ubottukriyas13: 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/RootSudo06:30
sebsebseb!noroot |  kriyas1306:30
ubottukriyas13: 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 ;-)06:30
shabgardyes..I sure06:30
sebsebsebok the second one didn't really apply to you06:30
HammerHead66TomH : here is the web site to download the drivers ok....http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/index.htm06:30
nickolasDoes XNA work with Monodevelop?06:30
sebsebsebkriyas13: yeah it's sudo this that and the other with this distro, but...06:31
eqisow1kriyas: http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-and-disable-ubuntu-root-password.html06:31
TomH1973The sound card chip is a Cs I Guess Crystal Audio sound card06:31
eqisow1kriyas: and su changes to the root account06:31
sebsebseb!noroot |  eqisow106:31
ubottueqisow1: 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 ;-)06:31
shabgardsorry ..at This line where is IDEALX?06:31
sebsebsebkriyas13: you don't need a root password, you just use su06:31
TomH1973 but hey it is 12 31 here in Utah and I have to get some Sleep06:31
dr_williserr. sudo. not su06:31
eqisow1yeah, I saw it. I disagree06:31
lstarnesshabgard: IDEALX is IDEALX06:31
sebsebsebkriyas13: however using  su  can be bad as well if your not careful06:32
shabgardOH...!! NO...THIS address not exist06:32
kriyas13already i use sudo -s, but now it doesn't work it show this message  sudo: must be setuid root06:32
sebsebsebkriyas13: ,but you don't need a password on the actsaul root account,  if you do and lose both passwords,  you could have right problems later on.    if you lose password for both accounts06:33
dr_williskriyas13:  then you some how got the permissions messed up.06:33
bunjeewhat can I use to burn an avi file?06:33
sebsebsebkriyas13: and the other day I had a weird issue where my password seemed to have gotton reset, no idea why, but since I hadn't  set a  root password on that account,  I was able to reset my password in recovery mode06:33
shabgardHow do i create that?06:33
dr_willisbunjee:  you can CONVERT an avi file to  a 'dvd video format' if you want to make a dvd video disk from it.06:33
lstarneskriyas13: reboot into recovery mode and run this command after logging in as root: chmod 4755 /usr/bin/sudo06:34
dr_willisbunjee:  i use 'devede' for that.06:34
TomH1973Hammer I Am Going to Sleep But I will Be back online tomarow like sunday afternoon06:34

HammerHead66TomH are you still here?06:36
addissonHammerHead66: I think he went to bed!06:36
bunjeeI've never used devede - does it convert avi to iso?06:37
watchteaHello all06:37
dr_willisbunjee:  it takes video files and makes a dvd-video-iso file from them06:38
HammerHead66addisson: hopefully I can help him on another day06:38
dr_willisbunjee:  the way you phrased it is not correct. :)    it convertes video to proper dvd-video format06:38
slimjimhey  i am getting ready to put Ubuntu on my Linux box, I already have dream linux on there, so I just need to place a / partion correct, i can share the swap and /home partion with dreamlinux and what about the boot loader06:38
dr_willisbunjee:  complete with a menu, and other features06:38
addissonHammerHead66: I think he'll be back sunday afternoon.06:38
eqisow1slimjim: you can share the home partition as long as the home directories are different. sharing a home directory can cause problems06:39
sebsebsebslimjim: yep06:39
slimjimbut do i want to install ubuntu boot loader also since i already have a loader in the MBR06:39
bunjeeOk, I've got something going here that reads "converting files from title 1" I picked my home folder instead of a dvd - correct?06:39
HammerHead66addisson: ok I'll keep my eye out for him06:39
sebsebsebslimjim: which loader inthe MBR?06:39
eqisow1slimjim: either boot loader will work06:40
sebsebsebslimjim: and Ubuntu's Grub will probably detect your other distro as well06:40
dr_willisbunjee:  i would suggest going to the DeVeDe homepage and reading the docs. Its not too hard to use.06:40
bunjeeok thanx06:40
slimjimDL is already in the MBR now on the Ubuntu install last step is asking do  want to install boot loader06:40
slimjimand it if do then i can pick Hd0 or /dev/sda and so on06:40
eqisow1slimjim: that would be the easiest thing, yes06:40
slimjimand it will just add to the loader that is already there then06:41
addissonHammerHead66: Ought to have a dedicated channel for sound probs for new folks06:41
slimjimso i wont loose my dl loader and wil be able to choose between the two06:41
addissonThey're some of the most common probs06:41
shabgardSorry ..How create  i smbldap.conf?06:41
HammerHead66addisson: that would help a lot of people06:41
eqisow1slimjim: it should recognize it, yes. if not you can fix it pretty easily06:41
shabgardplease help06:42
slimjimok thanks eq i am going to let it load then and check it out..cause i am also gona load another distro on that box it is two Hdd one 80gg and the other 120 the 80 is my test drive at the moment it will have DL and ubuntu, havent decied what other distros i want to taste. been a while since i was in linux06:43

shabgard:(((06:43
slimjimall the distros have changed since i last looked06:43
eqisow1slimjim: if your looking for a distro like those, I suggest Arch06:43
cristi_any problems?PM me!06:43
shabgardwhat do i do?06:43
eqisow1slimjim: my favorite 'power user' distro, by far06:44
slimjimwell i got dream for Xfce ubuntu for GNOME so i was gona look at a KDE and possiable a Fluxbox06:44
shabgardplease give me a link for Help..06:44
HammerHead66ok brb06:44
slimjimbut  i will look at Arch also06:44
eqisow1kdemod for arch happens to be one of the best kde implementations out there right now06:44
slimjimnothing wrong with tasting them all06:44
slimjimthanks  will look into it06:44
lstarnesshabgard: have you read the documentation for smbldap-populate ?06:44
slimjimright now i am dl FC10 for my flash card. for my lappy06:44
slimjimgona boot of it with a program i found to turn any thumb or flash drive into a bootable as long as your bios supports it06:45
shabgardyes ..but I can't ...06:45
HammerHead66try this out shabgard http://search.ubuntu.com/results2.html?cx=009650792990864903260%3A-lsdjshi1tu&cof=FORID%3A11&ie=UTF-8&q=smbldap.conf&sa=Search#110206:45
dr_willisslimjim:  you mean 'unetbootin'06:45
slimjimi also have DL on a small partion on my lappy for when i dont want to mess with vi$ta06:45
lstarnesshabgard: does that explain how to set up a config file for smbldap?06:45
shabgardthanks for this06:45
eqisow1slimjim: which should be always :p06:45
HammerHead66np06:46
HammerHead66make sure to bookmark it ok06:46
slimjimeq can you help me fig out another issue i ihave a WD element 1tb ext SATA drive via USB sometime my dreamlinux has a hard time finding it, not sure what Ubuntu is ging to do. any idea06:47
lstarnesshabgard: copy /usr/share/doc/smbldap-tools/examples/smbldap.conf.gz to your home directory, run "ungzip  smbldap.conf.gz", edit smbldap.conf and set it up, then move it to /etc/opt/IDEALX/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf for reading06:47
shabgardI do base on this link---> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAP-SambaPDC-OrgInfo-Posix06:47
lstarnesshabgard: I do not know how smbldap.conf should be set up so don't ask me about setting it up06:47
eqisow1slimjim: I'm not very familiar with dream, but it *should* be seen as a mass storage device. If you want it to automount, you'll probably need a fstab entry06:47
slimjimEQ yes it would be but i am havin issue with my bootup on my lappy, if i shut down it will auto restart and then beep loud like a sticky key but can not find one sticking. I know the window boot manager was screwed up and i have yet to find a way to fix it06:47
slimjimok i will look in the fstab configuration and most likly auto mount it that way06:48
lstarnesshabgard: if you follow the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAP-SambaPDC-OrgInfo-Posix correctly it should work06:48
slimjimso eq can you tell me some of the new changes to the new disto of ubuntu. anything in there that will allow me to backup my dvd movies to my HDD =)~ heheheh06:49

IntuitiveNipplehiiptihop_: You'll need the 64-bit version (amd64) to make use of the memory since the space from 3GB to 4GB is used by PCI IO/MEM devices and can't be used by RAM.07:20

wolter_hiiptihop_, few software doesn't work right, like flash and java (they say, but i do ok with those)07:28
wolter_hiiptihop_, also, some printer drivers, like canon ip1800, don't work on 64bit07:28
wolter_hiiptihop_, the thing is, your computer will be faster on 64bit.07:29

sixofouri don't even have gnome07:30
sixofourwell, thought i didn't07:30
sixofourive rebooted fine many times07:31

lstarnesTonyMontana: like what?07:31
wolter_hiiptihop_, compiling is much faster on 64bit07:31
IntuitiveNipplehiiptihop_: Also, I *think* wine can support flex now... you'd need to check on that though, so you could potentially run it directly on Linux07:31

hiiptihop_IntuitiveNipple, yes, been wrestling trying tto get my existing WindowsXP off old laptop and virtualized07:31
TonyMontanalstarnes: like my PC wont turn on all the way when I press the power button07:32
IntuitiveNipplehiiptihop_: yeah, did you create a new Hardware Profile with generic hardware first? That is always a useful step07:32
lstarnesTonyMontana: what happens when you try to start it?07:32
hiiptihop_IntuitiveNipple, using the VMWare Converter to grab the physical install and turn it into a vm, and then migrate that across to a virtualBox vm07:32

sixofouryeah wtf07:36
sixofourregular ubuntu loads after i log in to KDE07:36
sixofourmy pc feels like a mac now :(07:36
IntuitiveNipplehiiptihop_: Once you've got a generic hardware profile I'd shrink the Windows file-system to take up as little space as possible, then do a raw copy into a file that would then be the image for the virtualisation tool. I use KVM/QEMU so it'd get compressed and converted to a QCOW2 image-type.07:36
Greencoat421I have my ubuntu desktop connected to a wireless network, I have my xbox 360 connected to my Ubuntu Desktop, but I'm having trouble with firestarter07:36
Greencoat421dparker no what is it?07:36
IntuitiveNipplehiiptihop_: I don't recall having to, no07:36
dparkerGreencoat421: it is the thing you'll use to set up bridging in the kernel07:37
dparkerif you don't have it, install it and read the man page07:37
dparkerit should be pretty clear from the man page07:37
Greencoat421do I need to mess with the kernel if all I'm doing is sharing an internet connection07:37
hiiptihop_IntuitiveNipple, sounds good, have link to how to do raw copy ?07:37
IntuitiveNippleGreencoat421: All you should need is to configure routing correctly, and possibly DNS/DHCP with something like dnsmasq07:38
dparkerwell - hehe - ultimately you'll be changing kernel params, but you're doing it w/ brctl - it's not like you're re-building the kernel or anything07:38
Greencoat421Basically the xbox keeps saying it can't get an ip adress07:38
hiiptihop_IntuitiveNipple, also, any reason for KVM vs VirtualBox ?07:38
Greencoat421I have dnsmasq installed and I believe setup correctly07:38

dparkeryeah - so disable your firewall stuff first, get it working, then worry about securing it Greencoat42107:38
IntuitiveNipplehiiptihop_: I don't, sorry. I did it ages ago and worked it out myself since the commands are pretty basic (when you're a Linux geek!)07:38
Greencoat421ok so I get this straight:07:39
OmniHi! anybody here know about fully ubuntuing a macbook?07:39
IntuitiveNippleGreencoat421: you may need to enable IP Forwarding on the interface(s)07:39
Greencoat421turn off firestarter, reconfigure dnsmasq and trry to connect?07:39
Greencoat421I know its a bit to ask, but could someone run me what I would do from the begining from plugging the cat 5 into the coputer?07:40
dparkerGreencoat421 - just as a general rule - when you're setting up something non-trivial or unfamilliar w/ networking, best to disable firewalling 'til you get it working07:40
dparkerthen secure it after.07:40
dparkerthat way you limit the variables you're working with07:40
Greencoat421Well the first thread I found siad to use firestarter to share the connection07:40
dparkeryou said initially that you want to do a bridge - is that correct?07:40
Greencoat421yes07:40
dparkernot a router?07:40
Greencoat421I'm not worried about the firewall07:40
Greencoat421right, this is my set up07:41
dparkerok - then get brctl and read that man page07:41
IntuitiveNippleGreencoat421: I've got a wiki article for a similar scenario... setting up to support multiple virtual machines... you may find it helpful. http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/KvmQemuEasyRoutedNetwork07:41
dparkerbridging is pretty simple07:41
Greencoat421dsl--> wireless router----> Ubuntu Desktop<--->xbox 36007:41
dparkerand you want the xbox to dhcp off that wireless router right?07:41
IntuitiveNippleGreencoat421: think of the VMs in the wiki article as the interfaces used to connect to the xbox07:41
dparkeror do you want it to dhcp off the ubuntu box?07:42
=== varg is now known as vargo
IntuitiveNippledparker: I think off the Ubuntu PC - he said he had dnsmasq installed07:42
Greencoat421I would prefer it to just dhcp so I have to configure as little as possible07:42
Greencoat421I do have dnsmasq installed07:42
dparkerok - then Greencoat421 you're making a router, not a bridge07:42
hiiptihop_IntuitiveNipple, thanks for pointers and assist. time to download fresh 64bit ubuntu then07:42
IntuitiveNipplehiiptihop_: good luck with that!07:43
dparkerif you're going to use dnsmasq on the ubuntu box, it's kind of implied that you're using the ubuntu box as a gateway of some sort07:43
Greencoat421all I want to do is be able to connect to xbox live through my ubuntu desktop which is connected wirelessly07:43
Greencoat421ok07:43
dparkeryeah - really - I'd look at bridging07:44
dparkeryou would not need dnsmasq in that case07:44
zeno_how do you add a directory to places?07:44
dparkerjust bridge the interfaces together07:44
Greencoat421which is the simplest way to go about it07:44
dparkerget brctl and read that - it explains a lot07:44
IntuitiveNippleDoes network manager handle a bridge on a wlan interface?07:44
Greencoat421I need simple more than solid07:44
dparkerIntuitiveNipple - /me has always done it by hand, so don't know07:45
Greencoat421ok what the package for brctl07:45
IntuitiveNippleI'm just thinking bridging could leave Greencoat421 in a more confused situation :)07:45
dparkerGreencoat421: a cool thing about Ubuntu07:45
danhello can anyone help me connect my usb camera?07:45
dparkerif you just type "brctl" in an attempt to run it, ubuntu will tell you want you need to install07:45
dparkerpretty neat07:45
dparker(and you may already have it)07:46

delfickhello, I'm trying to svn commit to a computer of mine (in a different physical location) and I've come to the conclusion that if I turn on the firewall on the other computer, the commit will work, otherwise it doesn't do anything. However I'm unsure which port to unblock in the firewall. Does anyone know how I'd go about finding out which port is denying my svn commits??07:47
dparkerthe jist of it is that you'll take e.g. eth0 and wlan0 and make br0 and rout everything through that from your workstation's perspective07:47
sixofourdoes anyone know kubuntu and can come talk in #kubuntu?07:47

dandparker the first one please07:52
dandparker: its a jvc handycam and i just want to get the pictures i have in it07:53
dparkerdan - you need to ensure your camera is configured so that it presents itself as a USB storage device. That will be specific to your camera so you'll have to read the manual.07:53
dparkerdan: once you've done that, when you plug it in, it will just work - it'll show up as a new drive.07:53
dparkerprobably w/ a camera icon07:54
dandparker it doesnt show in nautilus, ive tried lsusb and it shows the hardware07:54
danBus 001 Device 072: ID 04f1:0008 Victor Company of Japan, Ltd GZ-MG30AA/MC500E Digital Video Camer07:54
danbut nothing in nautilus or pcmanfm07:55
dparkerGreencoat421 - cool - now the deal is that you're going to do something a bit counter-intuitive the two "real" intefaces don't really need addresses.  The br0 one however does.  So you'll need to dhclient br007:55
dparkeryeah - dan - your camera very likely has a couple of USB modes - you need to read the instructions for your camera and ensure that it's set up as a usb storage device07:55

dparkerdan - k - that's about the end of my general wisdom re: cameras - if you can make it look like generic usb storage, it'll work fine. Else you'll need one of the programs that's specifically made to talk the more proprietary protocols that some cameras use.  I know they exist in the repositories, but I don't recall their names.07:58

dparkerGreencoat421: sup?08:06
Greencoat421the manual was useless to me beyond setting up the br08:06
Greencoat421this is what I did08:06
Greencoat421addbr br008:06
Greencoat421then addif etho(the xbox)08:07
Greencoat421then addif ra0(the wlan)08:07
quibbler!enter | Greencoat42108:07
ubottuGreencoat421: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!08:07
Greencoat421and presto my connection stopped working alltogether08:07
dparkerGreencoat421: yeah - see - things get slightly counter-intuitive at that point08:07
Greencoat421Well the manual didn't explain a thing08:08
Greencoat421just what the commands did, not how to put them together08:08
dparkerit works like this: once you've bridged those interfaces together, the IP addresses on the interfaces don't matter - you should actually de-configure them so they don't have addresses of their own08:08
dparkerthen you dhclient br008:08
lanoxx-which one is true? 2.8 > 2.16 or 2.8 < 2.16?08:08
Aokaadofirst08:09
Greencoat421Ok ok so I do what I did again, then $ dhclient bro ?08:09
Greencoat421*br008:09
dparkerright - and that should get a dhcp lease from wherever - your wireless router I  think is where you said it'll come from08:09
dparkernow08:09
dparkercoincidentally at that point your xbox should be able to dhcp as well08:10
dparkerwell - once you've set up the bridge, the xbox should be able to dhcp08:10
Greencoat421ok, anymore steps after that?08:10
dparkernope - should just work08:10
Greencoat421ok so to recap:08:11

dparkerGreencoat421 yeah. I'm not sure if you *must* remove the addresses from the "real" interfaces either08:12

dinesh_i access internet through wi fi connection but i have noticed that the speed is reduced in ubuntu in comparison to windows is there any way to increase the speed08:17
mamafishanyone can answer my question?08:18
dparkermamafish - I don't know the answer to that.  Lots of times however the purpose of a livecd is to let you use the os w/o changing anything on the host computer.08:19
mamafishdparker: i understand just looking for the possibilities08:20
dparkermamafish - sorry - I don't have an answer08:20
mamafishthat's ok08:20
dparkerdinesh_ - there really are lots of variables involved in network performance - e.g. windows may have been doing some caching with a windows version of the "squid" program.08:22
dinesh_dparker: how can i increase the speed if possible08:23
dparkerdinesh_ there are just, you know, lots and lots of ways to do that08:23
dparkeryou might look at squid08:24
dparkeryou might look at dnsmasq08:24
dparkerthose can both help a lot08:24
dparkerif you're using firefox, there are add-ons that tweak firefox to make speed it up as well08:24
disappearedngHey how do I find any files that contains kanye in my entire system?08:25
Greencoat4211ok yet more problems08:25
dparkerGreencoat4211: what happened?08:25
dinesh_dparker: can you name one of those firefox addon that can speed up08:26
Greencoat4211ok the first time I did all the commands and with dhclient it froze the computer08:26
dparkerdinesh_ - I think there's one called fasterfox08:26
Greencoat4211then I rebooted and when I did brctl show I had a pan0, I think this is from ndiswrapper for my wireless card08:26
dparkerhunh - really?08:26
Greencoat4211yeah08:26
Greencoat4211so I tried adding etho to pan0 but no luck08:26
dparkerdon't know dude it should just work08:27
Greencoat4211dhclient ran through, but said no dhcpoffers08:27
dparkerthose ndiswrapper drivers are a bit twitchy though I think08:27
Greencoat4211well will having pan0 affect having br008:27
dparkerno08:27
Greencoat4211then I'll see if br0 freezes dhclient again08:28
dparkerdo you have wireless security turned on?08:28
Greencoat4211yes08:28
Greencoat4211surely there is a much simpler way of doing this08:28

dusanAhoj08:29

achilles hello, I have a bridge interface br0, I assigned an IP address to it and it's fine, I can access the server from this IP, but once I get in (ssh), no ping to anywhere could be, any help ?08:34
disappearedngdparker thanks08:34
dparkerachilles - what do you mean by "once I get in (ssh), no ping to anywhere could be" ?08:35
achillesdparker, I mean, I can access my shell session, and if I ping from the shell to my pc, it doesn't ping, or any other host in the network it doesn't ping08:36
achillesdparker,  no iptables defined08:36
Greencoat421still no joy08:37
dparkerGreencoat421: :( - should work08:37
dparkerachilles: so you can ssh to the machine and get a shell via the ip address that's assigned to the bridge device08:37
dparkerand you can interact w/ the shell08:38
achillesdparker, exactly08:38
achillesno no08:38
Greencoat421I made the bridge, added the two devices, dhclient successfully, yet still when I try to test the connection via the xbox is still fails the ip test08:38
achillesI can interact normally08:38
achillesbut the server can't see any host in the LAN08:38
achilleseven the PC I connect from08:38
Greencoat421the desktop internet is working fine08:38
achillesyes08:38
dparkerachilles: but - you can connect to it?08:38
dparkerwith ssh08:39
dparkerfrom some other node08:39
dparker?08:39
achillesdparker, yeah !08:39
dparkerwell - that's definitely weird08:39
achillesdparker, I can ping it also, but the server can't ping any host08:39
bobbie4I like the ubuntu, because it likes me08:39
dparkeriptables are clear on the machine from which you are ssh-ing?08:39
achillesdparker, yes totally clear08:40
Greencoat421so no other ideas dparker?08:40
dparkeris this all just jacked into a dumb switch?08:40
dparkerGreencoat421: sec08:40
Greencoat421ok08:40
Greencoat421ok somehow the br0 wasn't saved08:41
dparkerachilles - all the nodes are just plugged into plain dumb switch?08:42
achillesdparker, yes , I can ping them from my PC08:42
achillesand they can ping that stupid server normally08:43
Chowderrandom question: why is it that when I install a video driver (for example) Ubuntu installs all the others along with it?08:43
dparkerand for all the iptables you did iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT etc?08:44
dparker(default policy)08:44
achillesdparker, yes, some of them aren't linux, but yeah, I'm sure08:44
dparkerachilles - k - you got me. if you're establishing an ssh connection, you obviously have routing working in both directions.08:45
achillesthis will make me lose my mind08:45
dparkerunless you've got some filter going on in the middle, can't think of anything that'd keep it from working08:45
achillesall of that stuff on the same LAN08:45
dparkernetmasks all correct?08:46
dparkerthose can get you08:46
dparkerif you have netmasks mis-matched08:46
achillesyes the are correct08:48
tendragonword08:48
dparkerwell - dude - put wireshark on the workstation and sniff08:48
achillesthe weird thing, every host can access the server, but no where from the server you can go08:48
achillesas it refuses to establish any connection to the outside word08:49
dparkeryeah - sniff. maybe check /var/log/*08:49
achillesor even to the lan08:49
dparkerit sounds like filtering08:49
dparkerbut - don't know - check logs and use a sniffer to see what if anything is getting on the wire08:50
achillesokay08:50
dparkerwell08:50
achillesthank you08:50
dparkerdo you have selinux turned on?08:50
Chowderrandom question: why is it that when I install a video driver (for example) Ubuntu installs all the others along with it?08:50

PrebenRNewHandFromCN, probably glibc-doc or libc-doc08:55
xtrenderno.. normaly when one person watch a video, it should be cached. so if i open again the same video it should be loaded already (sory for the terrible english =/)08:55
achillesdparker, there is very weird thing, the server uses it's gw to send messages while the are on the the same subnet and on the same LAN08:56

Greencoat421perhaps one of the threads I followed changed a setting somewhere09:10

CaptainMorganthere's no "system restore" - like capability, no? I just installed a crapload of stuff- too much to mention, but I'd like to start over from scratch...09:11
PrebenRChowder, had to delete /var/lib/belocs and then go to /var/lib/locales/supported.d and remove a no file that wsa there09:11
dparkerachilles: stack must have been confused09:11
PrebenRmessy09:11
achillesdparker, what prevents from getting it stuck again09:12
lstarnesHaymaker: if you have apt-file, you could try apt-file search /usr/lib/libxml2.la09:12
dparkerGreencoat421: by console I mean can you sit physically at the computer without having to ssh into it?09:12
Greencoat421yes, I have my computer right next to my xbox all connected to my lcd09:12

PrebenRChowder, but I thought to look in /var/lib to see if there was some similar files there09:14
Greencoat421how do I find my network numbers?09:14
PrebenRChowder, beloc doesn'tseem to care about /etc09:14
CaptainMorganGreencoat421, numbers?09:14
Greencoat421dparker said it not me09:15
dparkerGreen - actually - even forget that I said that - just that last line where it says "root@bridge:~> ifconfig br0 10.0.3.129 up" - instead do "dhclient br0"09:15
ukubuntuor is there an evolution irc channel?09:15
dparkerGreencoat421: ^^^09:15
CaptainMorganpoor choice in word09:15
Greencoat421ok so do everything in that except the last line?09:16
Greencoat421and do the dhclient instead there09:16
dparkerGreencoat421: yeah- do dhclient br0 in place of the last line09:16

ChowderPrebenR, the way locales are controlled is a bit strange09:17
PrebenRyes09:17
PrebenRif they could at least provide some UI09:17
ChowderPrebenR, well you can't have a UI for everything09:18
Chowderdifferent distros just have different ways of doing things09:19
PrebenRChowder, but this for sure. I mean people should be able to choose which languages they want? If not at least generating all languages should work out of the box09:19
PrebenRChowder, Debian has a UI that can be used...09:19
PrebenRdpkg-reconfigure locales09:20
ChowderPrebenR, that should work09:20

Greencoat4211yes09:23
Greencoat4211it's happend just about everytime09:23
CaptainMorganthing is, things are drastically changed as it relates to the software I was attempting to get going Chowder ... no way to revert it all? granted even reverting, if it's possible, would take sincerely a while09:24

ChowderGilpy, use google09:29
LB05Oh o.O09:29
LB05no I didn't see that lol09:29
dparkerok - well - Greencoat4211 - to do it you get a root prompt and do "telinit s" - when you do that your gui will shut down and you'll have just one text console - sort of like an old MSDOS box (but lots better :) )09:29
Chowdertuffgong, that's a disk image for Virtualbox09:29
LB05Can anyone then forward me to a newer post or something?09:30

tuffgongno im not running it09:30
GilpyIve tried google searching an answer but come up with nothing :(09:30
tuffgongive even restarted my pc several times09:30
Greencoat4211ok, so I do that and all I should need to do is the dhclient right, not the rest of that faq?09:30
Chowdertuffgong, give me the benefit of the doubt and do this: sudo killall -9 virtualbox09:30
Chowderthen try and delete it normally09:30
dparkerwell - Greencoat4211 if you had to reset the box then yeah you have to re-do the other steps09:31
Greencoat4211Well all the steps worked09:31
rizitisLB05: first of all remove those old repositories if you add them at you system09:31
tuffgongChowder, no process killed... is the output i get09:31
dparkerunless you set up interfaces to do that for you automatically09:31
tuffgongcos its not loaded at all09:31
Greencoat4211it was just when I got to the dhclient step that it would freeze09:31
Chowdertuffgong, then try deleting it from the virtual media manager in virtualbox09:31
LB05rizitis, done.09:32
tuffgongChowder, ive already deleted it09:32
dparkerok - so - btw - Greencoat4211- before you did the dhclient thing, did you get a chance to try the xbox?09:32
tuffgongfrom the media manager09:32
dparkerat that point the x box should be able to dhcp etc09:32
Chowdertuffgong, sudo rm whateverfile.vdi09:32
Greencoat4211no09:32
dparkeryou might try that09:32

unlinkUsually switching tabs is pretty fast (~90ms), but every 10 or 12 times, it is very slow.10:27

gordonjcpFudge: isn't gnome 2.6 quite old now?10:30
Fudgeusign ubuntu 8.10, how do you upgrade gnome, hopefully with aptitude10:30
archman_So the question is: how to install xfce without any additional apps?10:31
gordonjcparchman_: one would assume "sudo apt-get install xfce"10:31
Fudgewhat version is gnome on then? gordonjcp10:31
Aokaado2.26 is newest gnome10:31
gordonjcp!tab | Fudge10:31
ubottuFudge: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.10:31
gordonjcpFudge: if you put the nick at the start of the line, it highlights what you say in that person's irc client10:32
unlinkHmm. Quitting firefox doesn't bring up the menu to ask me if I'd like to save my session or just quit. Instead, it directly exits the program.10:32
gordonjcpmakes it easier to keep track of who is talking to you10:32
Fudgeis that 09410:32

Subdolus_hey guys! I'm trying to set up SAMBA and everything seems fine, except I can't figure out how to set the root directory... Like when I access my SMB server from a Windows box; My Network shows the SMB server name, then you double click the SMB name and from in there, double click the share name13:49
Subdolus_I only have the one shared directory, so I want to take out that extra double click13:49
Subdolus_...if any of that makes sense xD13:49

bin1010last ntfs question.  I am doing a lot of movie manipulations with huge files 1-19GB....would NTFS be suited for this type of work or would it be a bad idea.  Right now I have a disk that is formated ext3...ntfs would be nice if I needed to move it to Windows which is true only if ubuntu wont boot.....but if changing to NTFS would cause problems in dealing with and serving movie files, I will leave it as is.13:50
Midwinterao13:50
halfiebin1010: use ext3 .. and then on windows use ext2fsd utility ...13:50
oCean_halfie: actually, I think hald should be able somehow. I mean, that is the daemon that maintains a database of dev connected in real-time. Like usb pendrive. But I'm not sure how13:50
Subdolus_so, nobody knows how to make a single share be the default when you13:51

zeltak2hi all, anyone care to help a bit with 2 one line bash scripts im trying to create?13:51
halfieoCean_: yes right. but since USB scanning is taking time. the mount scripts fail. I will look into hal right now..13:52
bin1010i forgot to mention, this drive is a usb external drive13:52
halfiebin1010: same answer :)13:52
bin1010thanks halfie13:52
jribzeltak2: just ask, but #bash is probably a better forum depending on what you are doing13:52
zeltak2thx jrib..i dont know much about bash and its really simple so i assume #bash is overkill but ill try13:53
zeltak2anyway one scirpt is to find all video files in a certain dir and move them to a single dir13:53
monkey_d_luffyAfter a 20 days uptime I rebooted my system... now I no longer have sound :(        alsaconf, amixer and alsamixer output:   http://pastebin.com/m325674e6                 pleaaaaaase help :(13:53
halfiebin1010: movies -> large data. ntfs-3g is slow (fuse). so if you do most of the work on linux, using ext3 makes sense13:53
SubdolusAnyone know how to make a single SMB share the default directory when you \\Ubuntuserver13:53
Subdolusinstead of having to \\ubuntuserver and then \sharename13:53
halfieSubdolus: AFAIK even windows doesn't do it! ..13:54

fotiscan someone help me?14:07
hanthanasorry, its working with 8.04 but not with 8.1014:07

mercurous23do we have a fix for the broadcom wireless? I cant still get my wireless work on ubuntu 8.0414:09

ubottuhanthana: 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/Resolution14:09
Daremonainithin1, the SYN_FLOOD attack that DoSes a machine has been 'fixed' with a patch that sends SYN_COOKIES or something of that sorts to the machine sending SYN, if that machine does not answer to the cookie, the connection is dropped.14:09
fotisi installed the server desktop14:09
nithin1Daremonai: remedy?14:09
ortsvorsteherfotis: try using nfs to share folder to other linux systems, otherwise you can share by samba14:09

user____hanthana: yes, thats good14:11
Bwennithin1: nothing was done :(14:11
fotisthanks for your help!14:11
Daremonainithin1, the problem was that when a victim machine is hit with a lot of SYN connections from spoofed IPs, the victim's machine allocates the ressources/data structures needed for a new connection. However, since the attacker does not continue with the connection, those resources are lost and no one will use them, if you have a lot of connections, you will DoS the machine.14:11
ortsvorsteheryou are welcome14:12
hanthanauser____: is that enough ?14:12
nithin1Bwen:try to install it again14:12
Yannouhi14:12
Daremonainithin1, if you attack with spoofed IPs like normal attackers do, the targetted machine answers the spoofed IP, however that IP does not exist and will not answer back.14:12
Yannouis there some way to enable the .Trash-$USER folder into ntfs removable devices under ubuntu intrepid ?14:12
Bwenlibpcre3-dev: Depends: libpcre3 (= 7.6-2.1ubuntu1) but 7.8-2ubuntu1~intrepid1~ppa1 is to be installed14:12

cardona507I am new to ubuntu, I just got a disc 3 days ago.14:42
silv3r_m00nwhen we install a software by compiling it using configure make and make install then after installation the files that it copies... where are those instructions written i.e. which file will be copied where14:42

Solvanoracardona507, you will not regret any effort you decide to explore ubuntu's infinite possibilities (newbee myself)14:43
HammerHead66Solvanora:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Patches?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=live+cd+updates&titlesearch=Titles this should help you14:44
ActionParsnipsilv3r_m00n: that will be defined in the makefile but the files will be copied where they need to be including a binary in /usr/bin14:44
fotisDoes anyone know where to download a free version of Oracle?14:44
ufg3456hej poklikacie?14:44
ActionParsnipsilv3r_m00n: so you can simply execute the app as normal14:44
cardona507so far I think that it is amazing. I am quite impressed actually. It is way more capable than I had expected. how long have you been on ubuntu solvanora?14:44

ubottufotis: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks!14:44
Jeruvy!ot | fotis14:45
ActionParsnipsilv3r_m00n: you could make a deb from the compiled files to ease uninstallation14:45
fotisThanks, sorry!14:45
silv3r_m00nActionParsnip: but like after the make process files are generated so there shud be some instructions in one of the files regarding where all the files shud go14:45
HammerHead66fotis: in the add remove programs14:45
coopcooper!dongs14:45
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about dongs14:45
ActionParsnipsilv3r_m00n: thats handled by: sudo make install14:46
Solvanoracardona507, since 6 months i estimate, and im still waiting when the price has to be paid for so much freedom (it just feels weird to have lost the microsoft shackles)14:46
silv3r_m00nmake install ... so what exactly does make install do14:47
ActionParsnipsilv3r_m00n: the makefile will say where the files go14:47

marechalHello. I have a problem with my wireless mouse. When I use the scroll-wheel, the volume goes up and down instead of scrolling. When I press the scroll-wheel, no middle mouse-click is executed. How can I fix this?14:47
silv3r_m00nso the makefile has a record of all files that shall be created ?14:47
cardona507Solvanora, no doubt...14:47
ActionParsnipsilv3r_m00n: if you run the command too, you will see cp commands14:47
ActionParsnipsilv3r_m00n: yep, its all in there14:47
=== _wintermute_ is now known as wintermute2012
silv3r_m00nActionParsnip: the make process consist of compiles and builds and links and create executables right ?14:47
HammerHead66marechal: lmao I don't know but it sounds funny14:48
wintermute2012oh wow never used pidgin for irc before O_O14:48
ActionParsnipsilv3r_m00n: the make process combines librarys with source code and the options in the configure file to make a binary14:48
marechalHammerHead66: It's not funny but incredibly annoying14:48
silv3r_m00nActionParsnip: apart from binary what other kind of files can make create14:48
HammerHead66wintermute2012: how do you like using it pidgin?14:49
ActionParsnipsilv3r_m00n: dll files, library files (like .so)14:49
Solvanoracardona507, i feel like shouting to everyone that they are insane when they protect their windows, but i guess if you shout against slaves that they are free, they will not roam free even when they can14:49
wintermute2012eh its not bad im used to xchat though14:49
silv3r_m00nActionParsnip: tell me 1 thing... there are many dev packs I installed from synaptic but I see that most of them copy .h files mostly14:49
ActionParsnipwintermute2012: there are tonnes of irc clients14:49
silv3r_m00n.h files have the function declaration where are the functiond definitions14:50
silv3r_m00nfunction*14:50
silv3r_m00nthere shud be something like a .a or .lib file14:50
wintermute2012ActionParsnip: i know this ive been on irc since 93 :)14:50
ActionParsnipsilv3r_m00n: yes as those are used to use the functionality of the library14:50
HammerHead66marechal: I wasn't trying to make fun at you it is just a funny thing. It's really a bad problem tho14:50
=== joris__ is now known as linkje
silv3r_m00nActionParsnip: as you said earlier shud I install like this 1. ./configure 2. make 3. make deb package 4. install from the deb package ?14:50
sonia_ActionParsnip, problem solved thx14:50
wintermute2012make14:50
ActionParsnipwintermute2012: i use pidgin for irc as i use nearly all its protocols so a seperate client just for irc is none sensical to me14:51
ActionParsnipsonia_: np14:51
sonia_ActionParsnip, it's a debian âckage though14:51
sonia_no probleem with ubuntu updates14:51
sonia_?14:51
wintermute2012well i dont know how it is for admin or opping or ircopping14:51
ActionParsnipsonia_: if it works i wouldnt question it14:51
wintermute2012i guess its alright for general use14:51
ActionParsnipsonia_: if theres a package for ubuntu some place, i'd use that and repeat the process14:51
sonia_ActionParsnip, ok14:52
ActionParsnipwintermute2012: depends on your needs14:52
SolvanoraHammerHead66, that link doesnt come up with any results?14:52
FunnyClownhallo14:52
FunnyClownhello14:52
silv3r_m00nActionParsnip: what tool can I use to make deb packages ?14:52
marechalHammerHead66: Got it fixed. Apparently some strange combination of buttons on my mouse acts as a sort of CapsLock, changing the function of all the buttons. Annoying if you don't know about it!14:53
HammerHead66wintermute2012: it's great when you have a lot of accounts with diffrent providers14:53
sonia_ActionParsnip, thx again bye14:53

newmemberSuggestions?   I have 4x1000G drives SATA 7500rpm14:55
newmemberI am finding that the read speed is very slow14:55
ActionParsnipnewmember: you could delve into hdparm14:55

HammerHead66newmember: the hard drive to the motherboard14:57
Dante123 which is better:  256 mb ram PC133 or 320 mb ram (made up of pc133 and pc100 sticks)???14:57
newmemberActionParsnip: how can I look that up?14:57
kc8pxyanyone here well versed in netbooting a livecd?  I'm isntalling ubuntu that way, and it's frozen.   it's "configuring apt" and "scanning the CD-ROM" ..    the cd rom is on the nfs mount,   is it ok for my to kill the installer? or should i wiggle bast this somehow?14:57
ActionParsnipnewmember: you set it up, if you are using raid, you will have configured it14:57
JeruvyDante123: is this a history lesson?  Thats some old ram.14:57
mhall119newmember: have you tried mounting it with noatime?14:57
NotADJAnyone ever see: Kernel: [    4.566552] /build/buildd/linux-2.6.27/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c: couldn't find an input interrupt endpoint14:57
ActionParsnipDante123: i'd go for more ram, if the board is 133mhz then stick with pure 133 as your 100 stick will make it run at 10014:58
newmemberGigabyte motheboard EP43-UD3L14:58

LaeborgI have some problems with my Logitech diNovo (Bluetooth) mouse and keyboard. Everytime I reboot my computer, I need to unplug the bluetooth adaptor and plug it in again.14:58
newmembersorry no X on this computer, its all CLI14:58
Solvanorahow can i change the font size in the CLI of the gparted livecd?14:59
_WhipperLaeborg: not so unexpected..14:59
HammerHead66O ok14:59
newmembermhall119: no14:59
JeruvyDante123: ah, ActionParsnip is right, mate them and it'll be slower.  But I doubt it'd make much of an impact and 256 is pretty minimum these days with gnome14:59
Laeborg_Whipper: What can I do about it ?14:59
kc8pxyDante123:  I'd got for 320, but really, i'd drop a full 128 in and bump it to 384.  ubuntu likes 384 or more..  i install hardy all the time to that..  but it hates 256.  and yes, I'm used to those ram types.14:59
mhall119newmember: using noatime can sometimes speed up reads, because it's not also trying to write access time to the metadata14:59
user____Solvanora: which version of the live-cd are you using?14:59
_WhipperLaeborg: just wait.. the boot takes a bit longer.. in my case anyway..15:00
HammerHead66newmember: is the HD hooked up by SATA cable or the other one?15:00
newmembermhall119: ah15:00
newmemberSATA cable15:00

sjokkishi. i'm having some problems using my altgr key. xev says that it's mapped to "ISO_Level3_Shift". is there some global way of remapping it to altgr, or do i need to use ~/.Xmodmap?15:01
Dante123kc8pxy Jeruvy I have installed xubuntu and it runs allright with the 256 mb.  I will try instead to get another 256 mb for this old pc if I can.  The pc100 I just happened to have lying around.  Thanks for input.15:01

ActionParsnipnewmember: if you want more speed from your drives i'd suggest raid of some kind15:02
newmemberThere are 6 slots for SATA cables connections15:02

Slonkieyes mhall119 , network shares15:07
Dante123mhall119 yes, and it looks really good for the younger set.....like some of my nieces and nephews.  However these girls a getting older next year grade 8 and grade 6 so I opted for full xubuntu. But will consider qimo in the future for younger set.15:07

newmemberthanks have a good day all15:09
mhall119HeliOS does the same, as does my organization QuinnCo15:10
archmanmhall119, also: using alternate install will prevent from installing apps that I don't want?15:10
mhall119archman: no, alternate install just uses the text based debian installer instead of Ubiquity15:10
militant_i used to do that privately.  worked at a company that was throwing away hundreds of p2's and p3's so i rescued 72 of them, threw linux on them, and gave tehm away to local schools and things15:10

kristian2i've just burned my first data dvd in ubuntu with brasero, the burn process seems to go fine, but at the end of the burning process i get this error: error while burning, the disc could not be mounted (max attempts reached) here is a screenshot: http://i40.tinypic.com/iz6x49.p - i think that brasero is done burning, and then ubuntu wants to mount the disc, but is unable to, so the burn process is a 100% done/not corrupt. then it's ok, but 15:29
LjLkalidar: DON'T DELETE the recovery options15:29
kalidarwhy not?15:29
LogicFanWebGuest1, does it lock-up when not browsing a webpage?  e.g. can you use all the menus/options?15:30

WebGuest1LogicFan, no, not 64bit15:32
LogicFanWebGuest1, if the rest of the OS is working well, its probably not ubuntu15:32

JeruvyWebGuest1: using flash?15:33
LogicFanJeruvy, that was going to be my next question :)15:33
WebGuest1jeruvy, i'm not sure... it's firefox as installed by default15:33
WebGuest1i haven't installed anything else apart from the initial install15:33

ActionParsnipjust to test if its profile related15:36

HammerHead66WebGuest1: did you run update manager more than once? If not try to run it again and see if it helps15:36
wheeeeHawww im trying to restore my ubuntu installed grub but all i have is a sabayon live cd,how would i do this?15:36

alanbshepard70hhp2k: I think a liveCD would be the way to go15:44

mister_robotoanyone know why my bluetooth mouse no longer connects after reboot? it was for a while (jaunty) but now i have to keep repairing it after reboot15:53
alanbshepard70kristian2:  if you want to use k3b because of errors you're receiving when burning a disc (DVD) using k3b will likely NOT fix the issue.15:54

sjokkishey, i've installed pulseaudio (had to do it manually since i didn't want the whole desktop package), and i get audio when i tell mplayer to use the pulse audio driver. however when i run alsamixer i still see all the same devices i used to, and not a single master device. how do i fix this?15:55
mister_robotoHammerHead66: i'll try that. when i look at the bluetooth device manager, it's there - just unconnected. the thing that bugs me is it was working fine until a recent update :\15:55
finirasisnt there a way to just upgrade it by a command or something? hammerhead6615:56
alanbshepard70kristian2:  It depends on the error but in my experience the answer is no. It's worth trying though, it's free and I'm guessing you're not on dialup.15:56

kristian2alanbshepard70 : since both have the bug, then ill just stick with brasero, since the author has replied here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562740 - comment #4, and said that the bug is harmless. brasero is trying to re-mount the disc after burning to checksum it, so ill just have to live without that then. however i have another question for you, if you have time: when i have selected the dirs/files to be burnt to an empty dv16:25
cristi_the default one start downloading very slowly16:25
GarthMarenghicristi_ The a built in one has always worked well for me16:25
jase_3) firefox tends to become unresponsive after opening only 5 tabs16:25

voice5sur5anyone know how to choose the runlvl ?16:29
jase_cristi: right now its still in testing so any advantages are outwayed by the chance of disk failure. but as far as benchmarking its just as fast as xfs16:29
Jeruvyalexlaban: just type the nic, don't use @ in irc before the nic.  I miss the pings.  Off hand I'd say your missing a dependancy or there is a bug in the source.16:29

jase_because xfs is meant for different hardware than a standard desktop pc has. disk failure can occur and you would be in heap of trouble. its high performance but at the cost of diskfailure, requiring better protection16:31

clarksActionParsnip, i mean can i see my friend webcam from my laptop using ubuntu?16:50
GarthMarenghiAriana: Are you trying to dual boot from this external and your computer?16:50
jase_make your swap 2x ram unless you have 2gb+ of ram then set it to 1.5 of ram and dont go above 4gb swap16:50
kematzyHammerHead66:  daftykins   THANKS A LOT !!! you saved my @ss !! Owe u big time!! :)  Ubuntu installing !16:50
Arianai want to be able to boot the external from various computers, it's a usb hdd so any computer which supports boot from usb should allow that?16:50

chi_Ariana : check wether your 4gigs of ram are used, and then go to analyse how much ram you use at PEAK16:51
Arianawell running windows i don't think i've ever used more than 2.516:51
daftykinsnp kematzy  :)16:51
JeruvyAriana: actually in that case, you'd be better using a flash boot, than wubi.  Wubi is a dualboot setup and probably won't like being moved around.16:51
kristian2alanbshepard70 : the only thing that im a bit curious about now is why the latest version of brasero in the repos is 0.8.2 when the latest version of brasero is 2.26.0. that's a lot of versions behind, 0.9.0, 0.9.1, 2.25.90, 2.25.91.1, 2.25.92, and 2.26.0 has been released after the current one in the repo, maybe more between 0.8.2 to 0.9.0 as well. how come?16:51
ActionParsnipclarks: sure as long as your client supports viwing webcams16:51

clarksActionParsnip, yeah my client support webcams..but i dont what program to use to see her/his webcam..16:52
Arianaok so on a 30gb hdd, what size would you make the needed partitions for ubuntu, and in what order? root - swap - home?16:52

ActionParsnipclarks: im unsure, ive never used anything do do with webcams in a non professional situation, try it, if its bad try other clients, depends on the protocol you are using16:54
jase_clarks i dont think pidgin supports webcam currently and if it does its very experimental16:55
HammerHead66cristi_: microwave it lol16:55

clarksjase_, so what in ubuntu can support webcam in client chat?16:55
eqisow1clarks: pidgin doesn't have webcam support. try amsn or kopete (kopete is a KDE app, however)16:55

mabougheyKoolD, I have two drivvers under hardware drivers, "Support for 5xxx series of Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards" and "support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards" the one with 5xxx works but i have to disable and re-enable it on reboot. I think it may be the other driver confilcting with it17:25

Arianai know i can use either, but which is better?17:33
HammerHead66Ariana: I like 64 bit myself17:33
Arianai mean will there be all the drivers on 64bit version, cause that stuff's quite new isnt it?17:33
Dave123-roadAriana, try 64 bits17:33

Arianawell i dont think any of the computers would be that old tbh17:34

ginfomatikzuser__ may bad i have not used IRC in like 5 years how do  you use tab?17:44
Choobielstarnes: my primary master is my dvd drive, primary slave is the second drive I plugged in, and secondary slave is my OS17:44
lstarnesChoobie: in that case, either change the number of the second drive, or edit grub's config to use the new number of the old drive17:45
Choobielstarnes: should I just re-install grub?17:45
user___ginfomatikz: type u s e tab17:45

user___ginfomatikz: in my client only, when you start with user___ (not sure if thats a glitch in the software)17:46

mhall119Frijolie: VNC server runs an X11 desktop as a user, so you have a user account already in use, even if it's root18:45
mhall119you'll just need to ssh as that user18:45
tj83_Cpudan80, lstarnes , heh i was totally barking up the wrong tree with init. lol crontab works perfect18:46

caimlasI've got a workstation with vino installed on the other side of the country that I provide support for. it's running ubuntu 8.10, and the vnc server is the vino-server desktop sharing. however, I am unable to connect today. I can ssh in. however, I do not know how I would go about checking which display vino is running on; the X server is on :0. I have a firewall rule (which appears OK and in place, and was working before) forwarding me t18:47
caimlaso that port. but I don't know if vino changed something on me. can anyone give me some pointers on how to determine and/or change the vino settings from CLI?18:47

Gneabrous: well, if it works good on the HP, then it'll probably work fine on a lot, but as you've encountered, you'll find a random system now and then that simply won't be able to boot from usb... the only other thing that I can think of is updating the bios, if you haven't already19:12

sixofourwith the normal kernal Flannel?19:15
irc1so first system boot starts with the desktop environment, not terminal19:15

marginoferrorsprout, my experience is that stereo bluetooth basically does not work in 8.10.  I am actually going to test it in 9.04 right now.19:46
sebsebsebsixofour: open the home folder,  and then view show hidden files and folders.   and view list. and then you can press type and it's all done in alphabetical order19:46

merkinhi, how can i apply this patch: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=51175119:47
sixofourthere has to be a better way to fix it other than "wipe your home directory"19:47
marginoferrorsprout, Yes, but not in the good direction.  Stereo bluetooth is flat out not included in 8.04 AFAIK19:47

I've read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-137159.html but I wonder if there is a way to prevent this for any USB device that is automounted that happens to be formatted for FAT32?20:27

vixusOk, so I got nvidia working under the realtime kernel.. Following further instructions I tried enabling the new drivers for the generic kernel. It all seemed to go fine but on reboot of course it didn't work. Xorg.log gives no reason for why the nvidia module fails to load.20:29
roy_hobbsMaybe (definitely) I'm missing something, but I've installed skype and I see nowhere to initiate a video chat with my contacts...20:29
crdlbUnggnu: it should work, but if it doesn't, you can always just turn ssid hiding off ...20:30

neeteexmbrigdan: yes it does freeze, but not only firefox : it might be more general20:32
neeteexmbrigdan: not realy darkened, only taking a while to react to commands (click, keyboard...)20:33

ludriHi, is it possible to save bootable usb stick contents into file (iso or similar), and later burn that back?20:34

ganymedehello, does the ubuntu 8.10 livecd have enough tools to act as a rescue disk for a windows machine that won't boot for a "disk read error"? (e.g. does it have ssh server, fdisk, smartctl, ability to mount ntfs, and ability to boot into a bash shell rather than a full blown X session?)20:35

KitkatI looked at the kernel log, but not sure what I should be looking at.20:45
NassoxB4s1Cx, okay. the official nvidia or ati drivers, i guess?20:46
xB4s1Cxyes20:46
xB4s1Cxgoodluck20:46
eqisow1Kitkat: daemon.log, dmesg, kern.log, and syslog are good places to start. but seb is right, could be hardware20:46

NassoxB4s1Cx, installing the standard nvidia drivers is automatic in ubuntu?20:48
militanti tried an OEM install and the help option too, both dumped me to busybox saying it gave up waiting for root device?20:49
NassoxB4s1Cx, just check the crossbox in restricted drivers?20:49

pvtpeteright ?23:33
sebsebsebTime`s_Witness: wireless is the one people tend to get issues with, hence why I was asking.  if you had wireless working in  WIndows, and you were running a virtual machine of Ubuntu, then sure it could be working, but then maybe it won't  in a proper install23:34
ActionParsnip1pvtpete: you wil need to change the disk uuids too23:34
sebsebsebtritium: the proper channel you meant, and indeed at that23:34
tritiumsebsebseb: forum in the generic sense.23:34
ActionParsnip1pvtpete: and if you drive isnt /dev/sda then that will need changing23:34
ActionParsnip1pvtpete: and if you have your partitions ordered different, that needs changing too23:34
sebsebsebtritium: ah ok, and subject over23:35
Time`s_Witnessyea, i'm aware of that sebsebseb. trying to familiarize with software, i'm aware hardware might be a different problem when in real OS so im not bothering too much for now23:35
pvtpeteAll of that is under fdisk -l though right ?23:35
sebsebsebTime`s_Witness: yeah  put 9.04 on for real, and do Ext4 as the partition.  Ext4 is pretty new,  no  Ext4 in 8.1023:35

Arianaok, have to reboot now, wish me luck23:37
ii_Have been using Ubuntu since 5.10 and there's been a common problem of BADSIGs when running apt-get update until 8.10 ... forums always have a number of posts about this error.  I recently found a webpage with a simple solution that works first time, every time.  Different to all of the other solutions posited out there.  Want to confirm with Ubuntu long-timers but no action on #ubuntu-devel - what channel should I go to?23:37
Arianacause based on past experience, bad things happen upon reboot23:37
sebsebsebTime`s_Witness: more experiended users such as myself,  get it  early and use development versions,  but that is not recommended to new users ever!  since bugs.   Have you done Kubuntu yet by the way?  How about Xubuntu?23:37
pvtpeteActionParsnip1: to the fstab file23:37
pvtpete?23:37
=== eric_ is now known as Etherael
=== [GuS] is now known as Me
Time`s_Witnessnone of them sebsebseb, however if im not wrong Kubuntu is KDE based.. or more recommended for KDE users. i dont like KDE. I like gnome :P23:38
=== Me is now known as Guest92118
Time`s_Witnessdont know about Xubuntu23:38
ActionParsnip1pvtpete: you can automount network shares with fstab, if the system you are giving the new fstab to is only sharing folders then fstab is no part of that23:39
sebsebsebTime`s_Witness: I don't like KDE4 as a GUI,  KDE3 was nice, but sadly they don't make that anymore :(  KDE3 been around for years very nice and stable.   it's not an option in 8.10 though from the repo.  can have both from repo in 8.04.   I do however like some of KDE's apps that I will run in Gnome :)   Xubuntu is like a light waight version of Gnome,  check it out23:39
Time`s_Witnesshmm okay :) Thanks for the info sebsebseb. will take a look :P23:40
sebsebsebTime`s_Witness: Xubuntu uses XFCE,  XFCE is only really a windowmanager/gui   however  if you do this in terminal:  sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop  that will put  XFCE on as well as  nice apps such as Abiword,  which could be just run in Gnome or KDE anyway23:40
mustanggsebsebseb - is ext4 really ready? I thought that team discovered a serious data loss situation. fixed?23:40
