[00:00] who can help me with gDesklets === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [00:00] Sibert: state a bit more of a question to the channel and someone might [00:00] _Whipper: Why do you say that? [00:00] I don't know if I can help Sibert but whats up with gdesklets [00:00] Is there a way to find which application is causing/using a certain process ..? [00:01] I just don't get why my machines are unique here.....trying to figure it out. [00:01] i fixed a problem with the 'countdown2' [00:01] <_Whipper> kaski: i'll let you wonder, but did you see the topic? [00:01] but now i have a new problem [00:01] !ot | _Whipper, kaski [00:01] _Whipper, kaski: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:01] sorry, this is OT, but i don't know where else to ask ... how could one go about importing emails from outlook express (i only have the files) into ANYTHING that could push them back to an IMAP server? [00:01] and i can't finf it on google [00:01] Hi, I've installed Java with sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk, however I still cannot view Java Applets and such. I have checked that Java is enabled in firefox, and have also restarted etc. [00:01] _Whipper: Nop [00:01] name 'msgLegend' is not defined [00:01] [00:01] > 1 __retrieve__ = msgLegend [00:01] DasEi, yes [00:02] <_Whipper> thank you Gnea :) [00:02] tq|Memphis: try to activate it [00:02] DasEi, its activated [00:02] tq|Memphis: so you're fine then [00:02] Aar0n try installing the sun-java5-plugin package [00:02] DasEi, yes thanks, enjoying my movie :> [00:03] I am sorry Sibert, but that is beyond my experiences [00:03] hm....but can you post your problem at the gdesklet page [00:04] and did you check google groups? [00:04] keithclark, you still haven't burnt the dvds .. !!. anyway did you try making an iso file and then burning ? [00:04] i undo wath i did to fix the first problem: [00:04] /usr/share/gdesklets/Displays/countdown/countdown2.display [00:04] > 1 currentTime = get_control('ITime:7qktelp6tw29ve5p8q3lxn6bs-2') [00:04] maybe you can fix that? [00:04] ultrasonic: yeah, tried that route [00:04] sometimes google groups is very usefull [00:04] wth is google groups? [00:04] so i can load cd/dvd's and read them fine but when i put in a blank cd it doesn't recognize it or let me burn to it any suggestions [00:05] Siber: ya mum [00:05] http://groups.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg [00:06] <_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 later [00:06] keithclark, even that didnt work? are you burning into empty dvd or trying multisession ? [00:06] ultrasonic: just another excuse for the family to force me back to xp [00:06] <_Whipper> kaski: try some other channel.. like #catfight or whatever.. [00:06] does anyone know of a form of ubuntu that has higher display settings than 800 by 400 [00:06] ? [00:07] blank cd/dvd's just dont mount at all [00:07] psychic: that made little sence.. if your video card drivers are correct.. you can do whatever res they can do. [00:07] psychic - what are your video drivers? [00:07] ultrasonic: I cannot even erase a dvd....cannot format.....anything I try with the physical dvd/cd drive is not successful. on all machnes [00:07] i dont know of the top its a toshiba lap top [00:07] Time to do some research then perhaps... [00:08] 'toshiba laptop' is rather.. broad. :) [00:08] i did some research on post and lots of people seem to have display trouble on toshibas [00:08] <_Whipper> psychic: 1440*900 on my laptop [00:08] Yep - laptops can be an issue. but you need to figure out what your video card chipset is. [00:08] where are driver files located, most specifically for my wifi card? I would like to copy it to a usb drive [00:08] psychic: No problems here on my A10 laptop [00:08] any chance u could guide me to it real quik [00:08] Do you know what video chipset it has? [00:08] Hi. When I boot my system I need to deactivate and reactivate my wireless driver every time. [00:09] It says 'driver is activated but not in use' [00:09] im a newbi to this [00:09] i have an a 25 [00:09] !ati [00:09] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:09] and 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? [00:10] <_Whipper> Stephan: : ever heard pen and paper?-) [00:10] baz, I think they are in /lib/modules. wifi would be in /lib/modules /lib/modules//build/drivers/net/wireless [00:10] pen and paper for what? [00:11] * Sibert gaat op BNC [00:11] noodlesgc, thanks [00:11] <_Whipper> Stephan: to remember where you were, and SSID and stuff [00:11] ... that doesn't help automate anything [00:12] the point of my question is so i dont have to constantly reactivate and select the same ssid i am always using [00:12] I've installed libasound2-plugins from the source package (too enable the JACK plugin) but apt really wants to upgrade it. [00:12] <_Whipper> Stephan: sorry, my bad. [00:12] lol [00:12] <_Whipper> jep :) [00:12] Can I tell APT to go ahead but do it from the source only? [00:12] im just wanting the network manager to be more like xp's or vistas =P [00:12] I use Ubuntu 8.04 OS. I have a service zeroconf application. What do I use it for please? [00:13] Olá =D [00:13] cellofellow: you'll have to rebuild the source package manually. [00:13] <_Whipper> Stephan: Now That was rude .. :) [00:13] hello [00:13] yeah 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 where [00:13] ksbalaji: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeroconf [00:13] What 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 CMS [00:13] cellofellow: that is, if you want to upgrade. [00:13] Jeruvy, thanks. [00:13] cellofellow 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/* [00:14] cellofellow: you can also tell apt to hold back the package. [00:14] Does anyone knows portuguese? [00:14] cellofellow: I think it's aptitude hold packagename [00:14] scunizi gallery2 is pretty awesome (though complex) [00:14] militant: 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] hmm [00:14] wth [00:15] !es | pato [00:15] pato: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [00:15] Guys (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] I'm not getting any audio through hdmi can someone please help me out with that? [00:15] no, it installed to /usr. I used the apt-get source [00:15] 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] !pt | pato [00:15] pato: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [00:15] scunizi 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 already [00:16] hi all [00:16] hi need some help ,Is there a way to find which application is using/started a certain process ..? [00:16] cellofellow, if that is so, I would try uninstalling it from apt, and just using the one you built from source [00:16] what the hell [00:16] and firefox i can play music in flash [00:16] hi sanyi [00:16] but in the music player it says it cannot open the device for playback [00:16] militant: 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 stuff [00:17] noodlesgc: no, I used apt-get source to build the Ubuntu package, I didn't download the tarball and install with make. [00:17] scunizi ok, and picasa exists for linux, and windows. so there you go, i think? [00:17] so in a home environment(learning purposes) for a networking student are there any important points for installing server [00:17] noodlesgc: but for some reason I can't convince apt that the version I built is "newer" than the one in the repos. [00:17] aka something that would cause me to reinstall later [00:17] militant: yea.. I was resisting.. gwenview will do it but it pulls in a boat load of kde dependancies. [00:17] hmm so much for help here :( [00:18] scunizi 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 server [00:18] cellofellow. ah. why not upgrade using apt. then re-get the source and install that. [00:18] militant: you've got my interest [00:18] I'll see if that works. [00:19] Either way I need the version without JACK stripped out. [00:19] lemme 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] k [00:19] 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] 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] photon, webmagick, and lazygal had reasonable results [00:20] militant: all in repos? [00:20] 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] jeremy_:does mount list it ? [00:20] does* [00:20] scunizi sure are, they come right up on an apt-cache search gallery [00:20] Could someone please help me. I have tried the ubuntu forums but I can't get sound to work through hdmi on my computer. [00:21] militant: thanks.. probably just what I was looking for.. simple direct ..one off type stuff. thanks! [00:21] yep. 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 package [00:22] militant: that's what I'm looking for [00:22] was 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] no it does not [00:22] 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 [00:23] I 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] Ramesses: thats svg files that are gzipped, I believe. Rename it to svg.gz and you should be able to unzip, and then view [00:23] any* [00:23] Flannel, 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 it [00:23] militant: is webmagick gui or cli? [00:24] 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] *archive [00:24] cli but i suspect there's a gui frontend for it [00:24] L3dPlatedLinux 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] 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? [00:25] noone here succesfully opened a "svgz" file before? :| [00:25] Ramesses: what is it? [00:26] jeremy_ - 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] yea [00:26] jeremy_ is it an active drive, as in you dual boot? [00:26] !repeat | jeremy_ [00:26] jeremy_: 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 !patience [00:26] no [00:26] jeremy_: check dmesg for a problem mounting [00:27] gordonjcp, 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] grep VGA [00:27] Question! 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] is the driver [00:27] sorry [00:27] vid trouble [00:27] Ramesses: a quick google suggests that it's a gzipped svg [00:27] jeremy_: pastebin your /etc/fstab and dmesg if you don't see anything obvious [00:28] gordonjcp, care to READ what i said? [00:28] Ramesses try opening it in firefox [00:28] * Shinu hates it when he accidently reboots the wrong vps [00:28] Ramesses: care to ditch the attitude? [00:28] gordonjcp, 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` [00:29] my only option on vid settings are 640 by 480 and default [00:29] both make a black box around the screen [00:29] and doesn't use the full display [00:29] Ramesses: well, maybe you're doing it wrong [00:29] psychic: 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) [00:30] Ramesses: Have you tried inkscape? [00:30] (or choose one if Ubuntu has one available for your device - I'm not sure) [00:30] u know where i can get it [00:30] gordonjcp, wrong how? o opened it with the archiver [the fourth time i repeat it! ]; how can this be wrong? [00:30] Ramesses: an archiver probably isn't much good for viewing an svg file === pedro is now known as asdd [00:30] Ramesses: Also, it seems Firefox can open them. [00:30] Ramesses: come to that, neither is a bitmap viewer like EOG or gthumb [00:31] noodlesgc, i tried firefox too but :| it doesn't open it; it only offers me to save the file or use the viewer to vie it [00:31] SVG = scalled Vector Graphocs [00:31] psychic: What model is your laptop> [00:31] use a SVG editor.. or viewer [00:31] where could i find a driver that is not generic for xubuntu [00:31] how can I search a man page for a string containing white space? (one single space in this instance) [00:31] psychic: run 'lspci | grep -i vga' [00:32] hmw: maybe / [00:32] i got problem when im installing ubuntu it said there's no root file system to define [00:32] gordonjcp, 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] hmw: use a backslash to escape the space, or use a . to match *any* character including space [00:32] sorry, /\ [00:32] hwm using more as the viewer i think youse /'whaterv spaces' [00:32] with a space after [00:32] Ramesses: you're not listening [00:32] Ramesses Is it possible for me to get a copy of this file? I have had no trouble opening svgz files in EyeOfGnome, or Firefox [00:32] gordonjcp: thanks! musikgoat|main: no, it interprets it as some sort of command [00:32] noodlesgc, it's from http://futurist.se/gldt/ [00:32] noodlesgc, http://futurist.se/gldt/gldt93.tar.bz2 [00:32] How 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] i got problem when im installing ubuntu it said there's no root file system to define how can you help me ? [00:33] hmw: I just type spaces as . when I'm typing a search string [00:33] gordonjcp, sorry; i won't answear to you any longer [00:33] mashman: Make sure you have defined a / partition, and are formatting it. [00:33] !attitude | Ramesses [00:33] Ramesses: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [00:33] uuhmmm ic [00:33] ok try that later [00:33] gordonjcp musikgoat|main : typing "/create\ mask" did the trick. thank you! [00:33] Ramesses: of course in this case the answer *is* available, and I've already pointed you in the right direction [00:33] hmw: searching for a string with spaces works fine here [00:33] Ramesses: a couple of people have actually *told* you what to do [00:34] crdlb: then it might be the string /create which is interpreted as a command in man? [00:34] How can I unbind alt+1 to be switch to first tab? [00:34] in gnome terminal, that is. [00:34] Ramesses the file open fine in EyeOfGnome for me. Perhaps yours is corrupt? [00:34] Flannel do i still need the livecd to install ubuntu perhaps i have already a copy on my hard disk ? [00:34] hmw: no, that works too (though there are no matches in the manpage I'm looking at) [00:35] noodlesgc: oh, EOG does SVG now? [00:35] mashman: You do still need the live CD. Install it just like you were ebfore. [00:35] gordonjcp yeah [00:35] uhmmm ic that's i got a problem thanks anyway [00:35] noodlesgc, 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 magnification [00:35] noodlesgc: cool, didn't know that, but then I haven't used EOG for a long time [00:35] Ramesses: 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. === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [00:36] because 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 why [00:36] any one have a moment to remote assist me in a display problem [00:36] Flannel, so this could be a bug in EOG? [that's what you sugest?] [00:37] its not a big problem [00:37] just dont know how to do it myself [00:37] Shopping 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] Ramesses: 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. === xiqxiq is now known as xiqxiqtest [00:37] psychic: we don't do that [00:37] no one? [00:37] Flannel, thanks; thank you very much, i'll try inkspace then :) [00:37] Ramesses: opens just fine in Inkscape for me too [00:38] ok [00:38] Ramesses yes it appears that EOG renders improperly. Inkscape works [00:38] psychic: you need to determine what video card you have [00:38] !ask | psychic [00:38] psychic: 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] noodlesgc, thanks; so, Flannel, i think i could file a bug report on EOG :D [00:38] ok no problem [00:38] Anyone in here have a Zune that can help me out? I want to make a transfer with the application called Qlix. === kaabii is now known as `O` [00:39] psychic: read up a bit - crdlb: psychic: run 'lspci | grep -i vga' [00:39] psychic: if you open a terminal and run 'lspci | grep -i vga' (no quotes) it will tell you [00:39] Are updates issued every day? [00:40] hello, is anyone there [00:40] UnderTaker: no [00:40] xiqtesttest: no, no-one at all [00:40] UnderTaker, there is no schedule (like "black tuesday"). updates/patches are published when ready. [00:40] !hello | xiqtesttest [00:40] xiqtesttest: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:40] ok [00:41] hi, could someone help me with computer? sorry its not 100% about ubuntu [00:42] ask the question and people can direct you [00:42] well i use my cellphone atm for chat because my computer is broken wait a sec i explain [00:44] it was liying on the floor (computer) and after a while it made noises like if a human needs breath u know, then he wouldnt turn on [00:44] i started again and mouse and keyboard not work [00:44] does anyone have a sudo apt-get for installing flash? [00:45] xiqtesttest, ventilation inlet blocked? sounds like you cooked it... [00:45] =( [00:45] Aar0n: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [00:45] hi [00:45] Ok ubuntu, wtf [00:45] also if on carpet, you could have built up a static discharge to the connection xiqtesttest [00:45] damn i cant buy new comp i have no money [00:45] How 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. [00:45] Hello! I want to find all folders that contain both .ape and .flac files, and then delete those .flac files. I'm not that good with find command, can someone help me? :D [00:45] Dudes... why doesn't ircd-hybrid come with a standard config? [00:46] xiqtesttest: find someone who has parts to test the problem [00:46] I thought ubuntu was 'user friendly' in a way?... [00:46] hey guys how do you reconfigure x server? [00:46] it was hot AND on carpet [00:46] thats what she said xiqtesttest [00:46] Xunie: ircd-hybrid is not ubuntu [00:46] no, But its in the ubuntu repo [00:46] timc, you mean delete .flac files that have been converted to .ape? [00:46] but what parts [00:46] Xunie: so is X, and thats not user friendly [00:47] Xunie: ircd-hybrid is a universe package, which means it was pulled from Debian [00:47] somebody_, easiest: boot into recovery mode and pick it off the menu [00:47] rww, Well, On my debian box there clearly comes a standard conf... [00:47] <_Whipper> Stephan: do a brand new live-cd/dvd? [00:47] xiqtesttest: the motherboard, likely, or test your keyboard nad mouse on another computer [00:47] xiqtesttest probably best to take it to a computer fix-it shop [00:47] sprinkmeier, i was converting a large batch of ape to flac and something went wrong somewhere. some flacs are there and some are not [00:47] xiqtesttest: its either one of the two [00:48] sprinkmeier, i want to delete the mess, try again [00:48] but have no money cant even pay bill [00:48] _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 week [00:48] xiqtesttest: is it possible that you can get the keyboard to respond to the bios? [00:48] rww, I mean on my debian box there clearly comes a standard conf with the package [00:48] timc, so you just want to delete all .flac files in a directory tree? [00:48] no [00:48] wait i explain [00:49] <_Whipper> Stephan: you used a week to set ubuntu up? and no back-ups? [00:49] sprinkmeier, no, i want to delete all .flac files that are in a folder with a .ape folder [00:49] xiqtesttest, can you drag it to a LUG for the geeks there to look at? [00:49] xiqtesttest: 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] sprinkmeier, i can use find to delete .flac files in a tree, but i don't know how to add that extra condition [00:49] xiqtesttest: if you didnt overheat your computer for too often, it will probably work again, when it cooled down [00:50] <_Whipper> Stephan: thats the way i do things.. try & error.. :) [00:50] sprinkmeier, something like find /path/ -iname '*.flac' -exec rm {} \; [00:50] should work [00:50] they work with my xbox but i think usb of motherboard is broken... BUT i connected a hub dont work [00:50] what 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] timc, OK, so one way would be to find all .ape folders, then delete all .flac files from thir parent directorieas? [00:50] _Whipper: no, it didnt take a week straight lol... total time [00:50] well it happened hours ago i used cooliing then [00:51] timc, use "rm --interactive" in tests, just in case :-) [00:51] sry whats a LUG? [00:51] bin1010: that it's either been removed or renamed or something like that [00:51] !lug [00:51] Lug's are Linux User Groups. You can find your local group here: http://www.linux.org/groups/ [00:51] <_Whipper> Stephan: i just almost went out of words :) [00:51] xiqtesttest, linux user group. [00:51] sprinkmeier, thanks for the tip. how do i find all ape folders? [00:52] I am looking for python-sqlite3... [00:52] they have irc? i can only use irc with my cellphone sry =( [00:52] <_Whipper> Stephan: so why dont you make a .iso from the set thats working for u now? [00:52] !info python-sqlite3 [00:52] Package python-sqlite3 does not exist in intrepid [00:52] timc, find /path/ -type d -name .ape [00:53] Good day. [00:53] bin1010: it means that the name is referenced by a different package [00:53] <_Whipper> Kira: good morning :) [00:53] ubottu doh [00:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about doh [00:53] timc, physicall show up, bring the PC and hopefully someone will take a look at it for you. [00:54] crossed wires sprinkmeier ;) [00:54] bin1010: what are you trying to install? [00:54] In the Unix/Linux world, how do you call a user account that does not correspond to a real human user (i.e. a user account that exists strictly to limit the access rights of a daemon) [00:54] flyback [00:54] thanks for the assistance i got it now [00:54] Could someone help me with a lengthy issue in private? [00:54] flyback and it uses python-sqlite3 [00:55] or so it thinks.. :) [00:55] timc, find . -type d -printf -name .ape "rm %p/../*.flac\n" [00:55] !scripts [00:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about scripts [00:55] bin1010: and how are you attempting to install it? [00:55] !script [00:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about script [00:55] timc, then cut-and-paste into a terinal [00:55] <_Whipper> kaski: didnt you listen before???? [00:55] :| [00:55] svn source === carlos is now known as Guest2554 [00:56] Listen before? [00:56] What? [00:56] me feels the love [00:56] I've never been here before.. [00:56] timc oops..... find . -type d -name .ape -printf "rm %p/../*.flac\n" [00:56] <_Whipper> kaski: ok === Guest2554 is now known as charlesoo [00:56] sprinkmeier, what will this do?? [00:57] Whipper could you help me? [00:57] <_Whipper> kaski: then someone is using your nick, wihich i doubt very mych... [00:57] bin1010: apparently it's included with python [00:57] hey guys what package do i need under ubuntu to be able to compile .c programs ? [00:57] timc, print out a set of "rm" commands that you can copy-and-paste into a terminal to remove the flac files. [00:57] coolio...thanks crdlb. [00:57] Erm, maybe we just had the same one? [00:57] MrDusty: build-essential [00:57] My friend told me to come here for Ubuntu help and this is my first time using linux [00:58] crdlb: how do i automatically "use" a driver ? [00:58] sprinkmeier, is that going to search all drives? can i limit the scope? [00:58] <_Whipper> kaski: so whats the magic question? [00:58] how would you concat two files? [00:58] into a third file [00:58] Stephan: uh, what kind of driver? [00:58] this useRgroups thing is confusing [00:58] When I boot into Ubuntu, the loading screen progresses and then I get a wall of text in like a console type thing [00:58] cat file1 | cat file2 > 3rdfile [00:59] Then this command prompt called BusyBox comes [00:59] crdlb: its a wireless driver. [00:59] In order to continue to boot, I have to type exit [00:59] what was the name of the app that gives u all the information about your system and is attached to the background? [00:59] This makes more text appear and the computer boots [00:59] timc, yes, use a proper path instead of "." as first parameter to find [00:59] Is this normal? [00:59] crdlb: when i start my system, i need to goto system, admin, hardware drivers. itll show the driver 'activated but not in use' [00:59] Stephan: you have no ethernet access? [01:00] Stephan: what's the name of the driver you see in hardware drivers? [01:00] crdlb: nope, wireless works fine ... i just have to enable it manually [01:00] <_Whipper> kaski: hmmm occasinally happened to me too.. with some distros, not with ub thou [01:00] kaski, no. which version of ubuntu? any mods? [01:00] crdlb: it's broadcom sta wireless driver [01:00] I have the latest version [01:00] I believe 8.10 [01:00] And no, no mods. [01:01] Stephan: so by 'enable it manually', you mean modprobe? [01:01] kaski, are you picking the top-most option from GRUB? [01:01] crdlb: no, i click deactivate, then activate and it works .. i guess it's doing modprobe in the background? [01:01] GRUB? [01:01] how can I make scripts? [01:01] Anyone 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] <_Whipper> Ndshacker: old.. [01:02] Ah you mean the one where it says stuff like Ubuntu 8.10 generic x86? [01:02] does anybody know of software that you can use to backup and restore profile files? [01:02] How can I unbind alt+1 to be switch to first tab in the terminal? [01:02] Ndshacker, scripts are just executasblet text files. crate a file and "chmod +x" it [01:02] I'm looking for a way to correlate the items in /dev/disk/by-id and the items in /dev/disk/by-uuid. [01:02] Stephan: 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 guess [01:02] <_Whipper> slayton: APTon [01:03] jlilly: hardy or intrepid? [01:03] sprinkmeier: oh about my pc: the usb makes light but no response [01:03] calmor15014 - 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 error [01:03] crdlb: so how would i fix this? [01:03] so they are just a list of commands? [01:03] and whipper >.< i have a way of learning stuff [01:03] crdlb: its the hardware manager .. its not any added package. its what came with ubuntu [01:03] Anyone in here have a Zune that can help me out? I want to make a transfer with the application called Qlix. [01:03] dont insult me for working from the ground up [01:03] crdlb: intrepid [01:04] sprinkmeier, i'm searching paths i know have both .ape and .flac, and nothing is printing [01:04] xiqtesttest, some PC's suply power to USB ports staight form the PSU, so 'intelligence' required. that might explain power but no signal [01:04] Stephan: 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] <_Whipper> Ndshacker: didnt mean no harm.. sorry if i hurt your feelings.. :) [01:04] timc, pastebin it? [01:04] hmw: 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] crdlb: how do i change the default drivers then? [01:04] _Whipper, not quite what I'm looking for [01:04] jlilly: in edit > keyboard shortcuts, you can disable each alt+N binding, at least in certain versions [01:04] how can I use a ; in a say alias? on irssi, I tried /; and no joy [01:04] I'm looking for something that backs up folders like .gnome .mozilla etc [01:04] slayton: profile files? as in firefox profiles? [01:05] musikgoat|main, yes [01:05] jlilly: I have it in jaunty, but it may be missing in intrepid, in which case you can use gconf-editor [01:05] slayton: tar [01:05] sprinkmeier, i don't understand [01:05] does any one know of a good program to turn mp4 to mp3 [01:05] Bsims{fs}, try \; [01:05] sprinkmeier, Ah you mean the one where it says stuff like Ubuntu 8.10 generic [01:05] !pastebin | timc [01:05] timc: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [01:05] crdlb: I see how to change it, but not how to undefine it. [01:05] sprinkmeier: does this mean its usb is destroyed or like you said just need cooldown? [01:05] musikgoat|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 yet [01:05] Stephan: what's the exact chipset? you can look at lspci to check [01:06] jlilly: backspace [01:06] Stephan that didn't work cat 1 | cat 2 | cat 3 > houses [01:06] kaski, yes. [01:06] calmor15014: 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] I'm looking for an app that can be automated and will allow me to automagically sync any new computer to my profile [01:06] sprinkmeier, in that case im pretty sure i choose the first option [01:06] crdlb: 3:08.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43XG (rev 01) [01:06] xiqtesttest, impossible to tell from here. [01:06] slayton: mozilla weave in the labs [01:06] crdlb: awesome. thanks for the help [01:06] jedi06: is 1 2 and 3 files? [01:06] does any one know of a good program to turn mp4 to mp3 [01:06] oh... [01:06] Stephan it looks like it just put the last file into houses [01:06] slayton: at least for firefox [01:06] Stephan yes [01:07] musikgoat|main, but nothing for an entire profile? [01:07] jedi06: cat file1 file2 file3 > file4 [01:07] hold :) [01:07] ^ that works lol [01:07] slayton: weave backs up a profile to a server, securely [01:07] musikgoat|main, but only for FF [01:07] ? [01:07] hmw: Thanks. I just swapped mainboard/CPU in this machine and there are some weird things going on that I can't quite put my finger on... [01:07] <_Whipper> randal: not straight.. [01:07] yes, aparently [01:07] Nope still ignores it [01:08] kaski, 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] Stephan: ok, here's what I'd do: run lsmod > working_modules; then reboot and run lsmod > broken_modules [01:08] Stephan: then you can diff working_modules broken_modules [01:08] sprinkmeier, http://www.busybox.net/screenshot.html [01:08] thats pretty much what i get [01:08] slayton: i'm not sure about anything else though... there was an app on windows, don't know if its on linux, called mozbackup [01:09] crdlb: ok. and once i find the difference in the files, then where do i modify the loading files? [01:09] hi all.... i need some guidance in setting my ubuntu server to start a program at bootup in whatever userspace runlevel is appropriate [01:09] Stephan: you can blacklist any broadcom driver you see in broken but not in working [01:09] hmw: 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] sprinkmeier, 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" [01:10] kaski, sounds like grub is dumping into busybox. sorry, out of ideas [01:10] xD [01:10] calmor15014: can you tell me, at what stage it hangs? [01:10] sprinkmeier okay thanks anyway [01:10] sprinkmeier, but i know there are .flac files alongside .ape files in those folders. [01:10] ah i think i see why crdlb :) [01:10] timc: find "long/path/with\ spaces/" -type d -name *.ape... not sure about the rest [01:10] <_Whipper> Stephan: and i remotely remember theres a workarounds for your case.. [01:10] whipper [01:10] i think its my fault actually :) [01:11] timc, try removing the filtering terms (-type d -name .ape) works here, i set up a test tree.... [01:11] blacklist-bcm43 has blacklist bcm43xx [01:11] and my driver is bcm43XX [01:11] brb rebooting to test it [01:11] <_Whipper> :) [01:11] hmw: it's always in the splash screen so I don't know exactly what it's waiting on... progress bar is about 30-40% across but that's of no help at all, and I didn't see anything that stood out in the log but I don't really know what to be looking for === ___mikem is now known as __mikem [01:12] sprinkmeier, yah, that prints [01:12] calmor15014: change the boot parameters in your grub (either in the menu.lst or interactively at the boot prompt) - remove splash and quiet options [01:12] Is there a way to easily do a diff on two directories, not to compare the contents of the files, but to ensure that the file structure is identical in both directories? [01:12] musikgoat|main, timc "-name \*.ape" lest command-line lobbing mess it up [01:13] anyone know in open office in the spread sheet how do you delete any duplicate row entries? [01:13] test [01:13] <_Whipper> xiqtesttest: works [01:13] sprinkmeier, the files don't have duplicate names [01:13] oh im not banned good [01:14] no my pc dont work [01:14] oh wait [01:14] <_Whipper> xiqtesttest: should you? [01:14] wait let explain [01:14] Hi ALL [01:14] hmw: yeah, been meaning to try that, but just now got the time to discuss. it's not this machine so I'll try it now and see what it comes up with. === mib_nb8yyt is now known as freechelmi [01:14] sprinkmeier, ahhhh that might have done it [01:14] everytime i see ban its red color [01:15] calmor15014: you can examine the initial text, that is hidden by ubuntu with dmesg and look for errors or such [01:15] then i think its me xD [01:15] <_Whipper> dmn.. 35'c in my studio.. and no aircondition.. [01:16] whipper [01:16] <_Whipper> xiqtesttest: tell [01:16] I starting to like this linux thingy [01:16] iF usb not work but computer does [01:16] hmw: I did scan dmesg but can't seem to find anything that really stands out.... [01:16] Way more customizable than windows [01:17] and i tried with 3different ports [01:17] calmor15014: it might be just a dhcp not answering. [01:17] calmor15014: you will hopefully find out, what is going on [01:17] than why every1 say computer is logical [01:17] hmw: is it normal for there to be no entry between 15.442290 and 256.998500 in dmesg? [01:17] <_Whipper> xiqtesttest: 'cos thats the way it is [01:17] sprinkmeier, i can't use the printout because of spaces in the path name [01:18] xiqtesttest: because computers do EXACTLY, what you tell them to do, which is rarely what you want them to do LOL [01:18] calmor15014: no [01:18] hello [01:18] i had to repair my pc thousand times and [01:18] Hey guys ! got a problem qwith my external Hard Drive .. ubuntu doesn't recognize it : lsusb = Negative and nothing in /etc/fstab [01:18] calmor15014: what is the entry before that pause? [01:18] I need libsamplerate [01:18] can anyone help? [01:18] the problem solve was allways unlogical [01:18] hmw: I didn't think so. @ 15.442290 - sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 [01:18] hi wuu2 [01:19] hmw: then, @ 256.998500 - EXT3 FS on sda1, internal journal [01:19] calmor15014: this might indicate problems with a drive [01:19] <_Whipper> xiqtesttest: let me put you on the path. Humans make mistakes, comps dont? gotit?-) [01:19] calmor15014: you should run an fsck on that file system [01:19] I need libsamplerate [01:19] can anyone help? [01:19] ya ;D i just think its funny [01:20] besides that's been out for a while.. old news [01:20] huh. It looks like my printer? [01:20] Laurenceb: i don't see a `libsamplerate', but there's a `libsamplerate0'. To install it: sudo apt-get install libsamplerate0 [01:20] nooo [01:20] <_Whipper> xiqtesttest> the problem solve was allways unlogical:: that is Unlogical statement :) [01:20] oh wasnt me [01:21] but you _Whipper get it ;D [01:21] hmw: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/135157/ [01:21] I [01:21] hey i am trying to install ubuntu on several systems and was wondering is there a way to mass install it, ot just specify the conditions in a file, so i dont have to keep going through the gui installer, specifying the same info. [01:22] <_Whipper> mib_gbc5na: yes [01:22] hmw: my printer has a card reader in it, but I never had the lag issue with the previous mainboard/CPU (same chipset, different manufacturer) [01:22] hmm i could cry its so bad [01:23] <_Whipper> xiqtesttest: cry all the tears you've got.. :) ill back u up :) [01:23] calmor15014: is this drive an external usb drive? [01:23] _Whipper: where can i find info on that [01:23] hmw: It's actually my printer (HP PSC-1610) === NetEcho__ is now known as NetEcho [01:24] how I can to open chansever [01:24] hmw: it happens to have a card reader, but I thought it was only for the printer (print directly from camera kind of thing) [01:24] <_Whipper> mib_gbc5na: try looking from the site? [01:24] can it be that something breaks but its a member of motherboard and the other things dont!!! sry hate writing w/ cellphone === kiosk is now known as Prabu [01:24] can anyone upload their pidgin tray icons for me /usr/share/pixamp/pidgin [01:24] calmor15014: ic... it might be a driver issue (another kernel now?) and can also be the reason for the reboot [01:24] guys anyone knows how can I mount an External NTFS Hard drive in Ubuntu ? [01:24] pixmap* [01:25] Winol: can you see the drive when it's plugged in? [01:25] !ntfs | winol [01:25] winol: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [01:25] calmor15014: i am sorry, but i cant really help you any further here. check, if the problem persists, when the printer is not connected [01:25] mhall119, nope :( [01:25] where can i upload picture ? [01:25] whats' the diff between DVD-RW and DVD+RW if any? [01:25] <_Whipper> xiqtesttest: uhmm.. doubt that.. [01:25] hmw: thanks for walking me through it - you were quite helpful - at least now I have something to go on [01:25] www.tinypic.com xiqtesttest [01:25] nothing for my HD with lsusb [01:25] Winol: then it's not a mounting problem, it's a device detection problem [01:25] is there any utility to extract the audio from a video file? [01:26] nothing on lsusb? [01:26] mhall119, how can i fix that then ?. :( [01:26] nothing :( === behnam_ is now known as behnam [01:26] hmw: oddly, it's the same machine/software/kernel, other than the mainboard and CPU. [01:26] hmmm, I dunno, lsusb should show everything [01:26] Can someone please kindly upload their pidgin tray icons, (/usr/share/pixmap/pidgin) I'd really appreciate it [01:26] Guest63602: ffmpeg, mencoder, avidemux, winff, can all proberly do it. [01:26] even if Linux doesn't know what to do with it [01:26] calmor15014: new hardware might "activate" different drivers, of course. [01:27] hmw: that is very true. I'll experiment with the printer. In the end I need it to work because among other things this is my print server too, but it looks like it's causing an issue [01:28] calmor15014: is there a card in the reader? [01:28] Guest63602, ffmpeg -i videofile.avi -acodec libmp3lame -ac 2 -ab 128000 audistream.mp3 [01:28] Can anyone help with a webcam/skype issue? [01:28] <_Whipper> *dmn*.. 4h and a wake-up.. [01:29] hmw: just doublechecked - nothing. I don't know that I ever used it. let me try putting a card in and see if it's mounted (or mountable) [01:29] is there any problem that shows previews of TTF fonts? [01:29] *program, not problem [01:29] calmor15014: i was thinking the other way around... no medium in the drive means less possibilities for failure... [01:30] <_VIM_> upgrdman: can I pm you? (it has to do with your host, not your question) :) [01:30] _VIM_: yes, sure [01:30] #israel_music [01:31] usser: thanks [01:31] Guest63602, no problem [01:31] hmw: I was thinking that too, but I wanted to see if it did pass through to the PC... and it does. [01:31] <_Whipper> Q: how to transfer 150 photos to HD, fix'em up, and send it away, in 2hours, with Buntu ofcoors.. :)? [01:32] I'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 problem [01:32] <_VIM_> "Buntu ofcoors"? explain [01:32] _Whipper: phatch, if "fix'em up" means doing the same thing every time [01:32] <_Whipper> _VIM_: "mixed ubuntu" [01:33] DoctorPringles: check /etc/apache2/mods-available and /etc/apache2/mods-enabled [01:33] if the php module and conf are in -available, but not -enabled, symlink them there [01:33] <_Whipper> mhall119: nope.. dont work.. some are B7W.. [01:33] <_VIM_> whipper, ok, interesting grammar :) [01:33] <_Whipper> B/W [01:33] B7W? [01:33] oh [01:34] so....what do you mean by fix'em up? [01:34] <_Whipper> :I i know, im an english-teacher.. [01:34] english majors tend to have interesting grammar [01:34] mhall119: They're in both so that's not causing the problem. [01:35] DoctorPringles: have you restarted apache? [01:35] <_Whipper> mhall119: never mind.. cant do it in time anyway.. [01:35] mhall119, yes [01:35] _Whipper: I'd offer imagemagick, but it'd take 2 hours to write the scripts [01:35] DoctorPringles: I'm out of ideas then [01:36] <_Whipper> mhall119: and i would thank you, but refuse it :) [01:36] mhall119, I've had this problem on 2 intrepid machines. Isn't anyone else encountering this? [01:37] <_Whipper> i'm used to Gimp, and thats the way i go.. [01:38] DoctorPringles: nope, I've got it running on 2 intrepid machines [01:38] not sure what's different [01:38] Ok ubuntu, wtf,.. the init.d script for ircd-hybrid is broken.... [01:38] It doesn't start and I have to start the daemon manually [01:38] _Whipper: can you make a script or macro in Gimp to do all the fixin? [01:39] DoctorPringles: I'm assuming your php files end in .php [01:39] mhall119, Yes they do [01:39] Xunie: does the init.d script output anything when you try to use it manually? [01:39] also, check your apache config, make sure it's loading what in mods-enabled [01:39] hello everyone [01:39] <_Whipper> mhall119: if i could do that, i would have a castle in southern france and a big wineyard.. no, i have to do it manually, 'cos i like them to look good :) [01:39] hi. any tool exist to read Microsoft Access file on ubuntu? [01:39] mhall119, no idea how to check that [01:39] kitche, Not even a thing, It does output the usage when no parameters are given... [01:40] Not "starting ircd-hybrid..." or something like that... [01:40] Hello! I want to find all folders that contain both .ape and .flac files, and then delete those .flac files. I'm not that good with find command, can someone help me? [01:40] M4d3L: openoffice can open Access files just fine [01:40] DoctorPringles: one of the .conf files in /etc/apache2 [01:40] how can I remove completely trash/root trash/cache my space keeps on decreasing [01:40] timc, read the man page, google for find too [01:41] kitche, $START needs to be "yes" in order to start... But where does that variable come from?... [01:42] timc: find ./ -name *.flac -print0 |xargs -0 rm [01:42] <_Whipper> hmm.. my body needs some fuel.. see ya > [01:42] Xunie: check the init.d script should be in there some place I do not have a ubuntu machine infront of me to look [01:42] kitche, When I do set the variable, It says I don't need to run the ircd as root (which is ofcourse more sanitary)..., So where does that $START var come from?... [01:42] bbl, steak is ready [01:42] kitche: openoffice dont want to open my file [01:43] Hello! here is a better question :D [01:43] how can i get the -printf in this command to print with quotes around the path? find "/path/with spaces/" -name \*.ape -printf "rm %p/../*.flac\n" [01:44] timc: add another quotes probably? [01:44] kitche, doesn't work [01:45] timc: just a guess, try escaping the " with a \ before it [01:45] timc back slash [01:45] find /path/with\ spaces/ [01:46] scunizi, thanks, got it to work. Had to take the battery out of hte blackberry. Those darn things don't turn off. [01:46] That doesn't work. Anyone else have an idea now that mhall119 is gone? [01:47] PHP not working on a server install DoctorPringles ? [01:47] I was wondering why ubuntu says I got 70 gb free but 64 avaliable, any ideas? [01:48] fearful: is this on "df -h" output ? [01:48] fearful perhaps quotas and reserves? perhaps it's 70gb but when it's formatted out, only 64 is usable? [01:48] Doesn't seem to be working in Apache. No idea if PHP itself works as the command line part of PHP doesn't install as the tasksel install [01:48] how do i exit nano? it says ^X. what is that? it's not shift+X right? [01:48] ctrl+x [01:48] control [01:48] is 5gb a good size for a ubuntu hd? [01:49] daftykins, no, that only says 64 avaliable [01:49] not really mib_gbc5na no [01:49] militant, I think that is true, but I keep deleting stuff and empty recycle bin and it wont free up space [01:49] you could do an install to 5GB but you wouldn't be able to install much after [01:49] hmw, what do you mean? [01:49] where can I find a list of the purpose of each folders like /usr, /etc, /var? [01:49] fearful can you paste 'df -h' output? [01:49] thanks [01:49] mib_gbc5na: that's kinda stretching it a bit, 10 would be best [01:49] how do i force remounting of entries in fstab? [01:49] It would help me greatly to know where I can expect to find some files [01:50] daftykins, one sec [01:50] Deevz, google [01:50] timc, -printf '"rm %p/../*.flac\n"' # but I would suggest you reconsider this 'hackery' in favour of a trust-worthy solution. [01:50] well it will only have a few files on it [01:50] Deevz: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Unix_directory_structure [01:50] mib_gbc5na: than yes, 5 gigs would be plenty I think [01:50] you only need about 3GB for an install with nothing added after mib_gbc5na [01:50] thx [01:50] ok thanks [01:51] daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/135162/ [01:51] unop, i want to find folders that have both .ape and .flac files in them, and delete the .flac files. [01:51] this is the best idea i've had yet. (botched batch conversion :\ ) [01:51] hmm 53GB used fearful? that's a fair bit [01:51] !nvidia [01:51] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:52] Has anyone here gotten the nvidia drivers installed for 8.10? I have them installed but no matter what setting i put, it never works [01:52] daftykins, yea I guess just when I empty trash I'm not receiving the same free space as before [01:52] yes i run the 177 nvidia drivers on an 8800GT [01:53] Is there a way to open a link in the default browser from the command line? [01:53] can I pm you daftykins? [01:53] have you only recently installed fearful? [01:53] sure Sivik [01:53] daftykins, na been using ubuntu for over 2 years, never encountered this problem [01:53] daftykins, this install may well have over 5 months [01:53] daftykins, since intrepid came out [01:54] so what exactly is wrong? [01:54] it appears that OEM install mode is what i am loking for to do a mass install [01:54] what numbers are different? [01:54] with the same settings [01:54] daftykins, I remove something that is lets say 5gb, and I don't get 5gb of free space back [01:55] daftykins, just awkward not really bothering me 64 gigs is more than enough, planning full clean upgrade with jaunty anyway so.. don't bust your head bout it :) [01:55] hmm that's novel, how does the disk usage analyser compare to what should be true fearful ? [01:55] #israel_music [01:56] question [01:56] daftykins, removed how? could it have ended up in a trash bin or something? [01:56] timc, find . -name "*.ape" -printf '%h\0' | sort -uz | while read -d '' dir; do (cd $dir && echo rm -v *.flac); done [01:57] wrong person sprinkmeier ? :P [01:57] daftykins, oops... [01:57] fearful, removed how? could it have ended up in a trash bin or something? [01:57] hi folks.. im looking to make an exact replica of the filesystem on my hard drive... how would you ecommend i do this? [01:57] what will be in a few years, after ubuntu znoozling zinkelator? i bet ubuntu 200$ xp ;D [01:58] Ok, so I have a raid 5 setup on a 8.04.2 home server. I added another drive to it and it is in the process of reshaping. I have uped the speed_limit_min from 1000K/s to 10000K/s but I only see a raise in speed from 1500K/s to 3700K/s. From what I have found thur google it should have increased alot more the just 1200k/s and I have tried other speeds too (lower and higher values). The max is set at 200000K/s, any suggests on [01:58] anybody [01:58] xiqtesttest, amazingly agile aardark [01:58] yay [01:58] <_VIM_> chris420: maybe clonezilla [01:58] you can help me [01:59] ahhh ok will my replica be bootable? [02:00] <_VIM_> chris420: I'm sure there's a way of doing that, but im not sure clonezilla can do it or not [02:00] chris420: what do you want to do with the image you create? [02:00] i feel sorry for our grandcildren... "hey you allready have ubuntu alternate ankle avantgarde albert amber antilope?" aww... [02:00] well basically i wanna have my current operating system and settings on my new bigger hard drive so i can my mom hers back [02:01] *children [02:01] lol xiqtesttest [02:01] chris420: I've successfully imaged a hard drive and then transferred the image to another using the dd command and an external hard drive. === pyrak_ is now known as pyrak [02:02] well i go sleeps thank you pawning pony people [02:02] !cal: thats wut id be doing [02:02] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:02] lol [02:02] ubottu r u gay? lmao [02:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about r u gay? lmao [02:03] <_Enchained> hi all [02:03] chris420: in fact, I did put it on a bigger drive as well... [02:03] Hello [02:03] Any girl?? [02:03] JUAN_: this is not a chat channel. [02:03] <_Enchained> I'm using GNOME and would like to try KDE(4), but if possible, only install the KDE desktop and not entire Kubuntu... [02:03] LjL, What is it then? :P [02:04] !#ubuntu [02:04] Ubuntu 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.com [02:04] err, not that [02:04] Daki? [02:04] Xunie: this is the official Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu support questions and answers. nothing else than that [02:04] _Enchained - you can install Kubuntu-desktop from the repositories which will let you just use KDE [02:05] LjL, ##linux 's been nicer to me... But since you say this is a support channel! : [02:05] <_Enchained> calmor15014: it wiil remove ubuntnu-desktop I think... [02:05] I can't get that init script working ircd-hybrid... [02:05] <_Enchained> I want gnome AND kde [02:05] hi [02:05] _Enchained: It won't. [02:05] <_Enchained> ok :) [02:05] It needs the variable $START to be yes for it to work, Why is that?... [02:05] _Enchained: just install the whole kubuntu-desktop package, seriously, it's less of a headache than hunting the right packages [02:05] _Enchained: After you install it, log out and when logging back in, choose the KDE session [02:06] Xunie: Likely because you need to change some default stuff before it starts. [02:06] Xunie: 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 servers [02:06] Xunie: Check the README.Debian file [02:06] If I were to tripple boot LINUX/WINDOWXP/VISTA should I got vista fisrst than xp than UBUNTU? [02:06] <_Enchained> calmor15014: 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] <_Enchained> possible ? [02:06] Flannel, Maybe because it works by default on debian.. >_> [02:06] _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... [02:07] justinnfx: not sure about the Vista/XP order, but you should do Ubuntu last. [02:07] Xunie: Er... that has no real relevance. [02:07] justinnfx: sounds like the right order [02:07] _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] Flannel, 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 lines [02:08] _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] <_Enchained> will try just to install kdebase ... [02:09] <_Enchained> Just want to look how it looks actually... [02:09] unop, 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); done [02:10] i think that command is exactly what i need [02:10] _Enchained: That might work, though oddly I don't have that meta-package installed (it must not be a dependency of kubuntu-desktop [02:10] Xunie: There's a purpose to it. We've explained it to you. If you think its a bug, file a bug report. [02:10] boooooooooo [02:10] _Enchained: are you installing kdebase or kdebase-kde4? (just out of sheer curiosity) [02:10] _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 want [02:11] Flannel, And get yelled at because of being a noob :P [02:11] I 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] hey folks, i have a Broadcom BCM4306 using b43legacy module in Intrepid. Just today i started losing wireless intermittently and the only way to re-enable is to ifconfig up then down. Any ideas? [02:12] *make that down then up :p === gorgut1 is now known as gorgut [02:14] ryanakca, i was searching for an answer to that myself (Similar problem). I found some stuff about buggy ACPI messing things up, and needing to disable it, but that didn't work for me. [02:14] Hi :) I just installed Jaunty (love it! Apci works for me now :D ) But I managed to f*ck up my xp partition (human error) How do I add it to GRUB again? :) [02:14] sprinkmeier: Well, I don't need ACPI on a desktop, so might as well disable it in the bios... but still. This is on a cold boot... [02:15] <_Enchained> calmor15014: I installed kdebase (jaunty so it's KDE4.2) [02:16] <_Enchained> BRB to test ;) [02:16] timc, it will yes - you can have rm prompt you to delete the file if you use the -i flag [02:16] hello can someone tell me a good p2p program please [02:16] eax, > !grub [02:16] !grub [02:16] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

Why does find "/path/with spaces/" -name "*.ape" -printf '%h\0' | sort -uz | while read -d '' dir; do (cd $dir && rm -v *.flac); done # yield 'No such file or directory' ? [02:17] ryanakca, i though ACPI handles everything from soft-power to fan speeds, so disabling it (even on a desktop) might not be a good idea (unless you're desperate to get wifi :-) [02:17] (there is such a directory!) [02:18] LjL thanks man [02:18] eax, if u follow that guide it will fix grub for you [02:18] sprinkmeier: Oh, nevermind then...

[02:20] I have a little problem. It seems Windows Vista does not like having an entry password for Grub on a dual boot setting; causes BSOD. [02:20] _Enchained: So let me know how KDE4.2 in Jaunty works out. Are you using x64 or x86? (or another)? [02:21] Hullo all, I'm trying to install JMF-1.1.2e, but affter the first install came up with an error about folders not being found, the install bin does nothing when executed [02:21] unop! [02:21] Therefore, I turned off the entry password, and locked it with the main password, and it does not BSOD. What causes this? [02:21] unop, thank you very much! you too sprinkmeier ;) [02:21] Dreamglider: I saved the important files from my xp part, but I can't seem to make it "recover" all the files at all :S When I mount the drive it's empty except for "boot.ini" & "pagefile.sys" [02:22] eax, what happend, what didi u do to mess it up ?

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) [04:29] mshade I read that article before asking [04:29] but unfortunately [04:29] i'm wriitng python script [04:29] gotcha [04:29] tnx [04:29] :) [04:29] which doesnt support expect [04:29] makes sense [04:29] Hello [04:29] Revenger: you might have to call python's exec function [04:29] how is everyone [04:29] and use expect that way [04:29] If I install a .deb file will it update through the repositories once they catch up? [04:29] Mo0oSaH: Yes [04:30] Flannel: Thanks! === Owner is now known as darkone778 [04:30] mshade: yes I guess so [04:30] WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed.

[04:30] I mean can we write a script doing exactly what passwd does [04:30] raymondb: Yuck. Yeah, we'll have to manually force it back to the lower version. [04:30] anyone knows how i can delete files in a read-only fs? [04:30] whew [04:31] raymondb: that's what you'll end up having to do (or, just use passwd) [04:31] er, Revenger ^^ === Vincent is now known as Guest45257 [04:31] haha - I was wondering :) [04:31] is there a force - I mand apt-get and could not find how [04:31] dsdeiz: perl -e 'unlink filename' [04:32] !man [04:32] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [04:32] raymondb: You'll use apt_preferences (man apt_preferences) [04:32] !terminal [04:32] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [04:32] Flannel: I just want to understand how passwd command acts then I can write my own script with additional stuff like : change passwd without prompting [04:32] raymondb: and you'll have to use a priority higher than 1000 (and then once you fix it, you remove it) [04:33] raymondb: That is, remove the preference. [04:33] but it looks like I dont have other choice but using expect [04:33] Hey, I'm having trouble getting a line in a bash script to work. It apparently calls another script with 'source', but I get a ""17: source: not found"" error [04:33] dsdeiz:right click on item, go to properties,click it. go to Permissions and change it there [04:33] Revenger: you do have a choice [04:33] !brasero [04:33] figure out whether /etc/shadow is using MD5 or DES for encrypting [04:33] OK so I set a pref for the version, then reinstall then remove the version pref [04:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about brasero [04:33] ?

The first hard drive (master) is the one that the system boots off and has windows. How do I make it so that xubuntu is installed on the second hard drive (slave) but I can still dual boot windows from the first hard drive? Do I do anything other than select the slave drive to install xubuntu and let the installer do the rest? Or do I need to select manual instead [04:34] flannel: thanks [04:35] mshade: but i'm stucked with "salt" thing [04:35] I dont know what should I insert as a salt [04:35] /join #politics [04:35] Dante123: you can change master slave in BIOS when you start up your computer [04:35] can'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 script [04:36] a lo of engineering though [04:36] :( yeah [04:36] that's a problem [04:36] maybe I'm gonna use expect for now [04:36] HammerHead66 what do you mean? This is already setup with jumpers on each of the drives. [04:36] justset both as masters with no slave [04:36] beware, expect is a demon unto itself ;) [04:36] and change it in the future if I can figure out how my system works [04:37] check out autoexpect to set up your first expect script [04:38] Revenger: according to this page, http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Shadow-Password-HOWTO-2.html, the salt is stored separately -- could be out of date [04:38] http://en.kioskea.net/faq/sujet-790-changing-password-via-a-script [04:38] when you go into BIOS you will need to go to boot and then go to hard drives and set it there [04:38] yes I know that [04:38] :( [04:38] I have mine set up that way [04:39] HammerHead66 I went ahead and told it to install on the sdb (second hard drive). Under "advanced" I see that it will install boot loader to hd0 [04:39] I can type 'source' into the command line fine, but calling it inside a bash script fails. Any idea why? [04:39] So I think I am okay [04:40] when I load un the install I took out all partions and mounted it to the hole hd [04:41] I hold no problems that way [04:41] supertanker - try just the period syntax for inclusion, and specify the full path to the file [04:41] Hello any one chating in here about Ubuntu? [04:41] e.g. . /usr/local/bin/myinclude.sh [04:41] tomH all of us are [04:42] dparker, ah, that worked, thanks. I was trying to use sh [04:42] thanks [04:42] Ok so how can I get Ubuntu to work right on My computer [04:42] supertanker - np [04:42] Hey I have a music streaming problem....I use Songbird and I get an internal streaming error [04:42] Revenger: if you wanted to be uber-insecure, you could use the same salt with every password generated... but i didn't tell you that ;) [04:42] i don't think the salt has to be anything in particular [04:42] where are u running into problems? [04:43] me? [04:43] TomH sorry [04:43] create a test user account and generate an SHA2 password with the salt '123456' or somesuch. [04:43] should still work, Revenger [04:43] mshade yes [04:43] but i think it's kinda insecured [04:43] echo "password:name" | chpasswd [04:43] First of all I have a Verry old Computer it is a HP Vectra it has a max of 500mhz on the cpu [04:43] not sure if this method works [04:44] it would be. you'd be doing away with the hash [04:44] Revenger: hi hi :) [04:44] haha [04:44] * chalcedony smiles [04:44] So the problem is the Sound [04:45] TomH what kind of video card do you have? [04:45] Revenger: why not do it this way: [04:45] # echo "newpass" |passwd -f --stdin testuser [04:45] that should work fine [04:45] yes [04:45] i'm testing it now [04:45] My video and sound card are on the mother board [04:45] and could be wrapped in an exec / bash function [04:45] Revenger: i just tested it. worked fine :) [04:45] :) [04:45] same here [04:45] :) [04:46] thanks a lot [04:46] :) [04:46] mshade [04:46] Revenger: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:46] TomH but with ATI graphic cards the sound still goes through the graphic card so what graphic card do you have [04:47] I have I guess what they call a Dual Boot computer [04:47] Revenger: you bet [04:47] i had apache2 and gallery2 up working fine. suddenly people are being offered a download of the ront page instead ofa display of it. i've installed a few things since then, such as amaya. what gives? [04:47] so does anyone else hate Superdrives? iTunes and Disk utility hasnt been able to Calibrate the laser since a month after my MBP Santa Rosa turned a year old. its so frustrating. [04:47] mshade I Pmed you [04:48] tomH ok but that will have nothing to do withthe sound [04:48] TomH do you know how to check what graghic card you have on your PC? [04:49] is there any decent webcam chat software available for linux? [04:49] My video Card is a Matrox G200 BB [04:50] mshade I Pmed you [04:50] This is what window says [04:50] did you get that hammerhead? [04:50] Revenger: and i pm'd you back [04:50] TomH yes [04:51] Hey guys [04:51] Hello, all. I'm having something of an odd problem: I just upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 and now, when I try to log in, the process progresses to the ubuntu load screen, then gives me a black background with white text and asks me to login. [04:51] Once I've logged in, it allows me to execute normal terminal commands. [04:52] I entered sudo apt-get install gnome [04:52] TomH do you have any sound at all? Or have you checked the Mute? Have you checked the settings on the sound? [04:52] and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [04:52] In Ubuntu the audio works then stops and you have to move the volume control up or down for it to work agian [04:52] But I haven't gotten any results. [04:52] It stays stuck at a screen informing me that Ubuntu has no warranty and that I should consult the help page. [04:52] who know's how to setup the dial up connection on wubi ? [04:52] Any ideas? [04:53] uhh, should i just wait before asking help with my problem?

[05:15] Okay, did the dir thing [05:16] incompatible with other gobby users, cant connect [05:16] RobotCow: oh hmm missed that -- well you can see if there is a PPA for it [05:16] what file are there Keevo?

[05:16] Cpudan80, whats a PPA? [05:16] RobotCow: The Jaunty version will have that fix soon. [05:17] Flannel, i checked packages.ubuntu.com and jaunty's version is still a little out of date [05:17] RobotCow: Actually, I take that back. Jaunty already has the newest version. [05:17] RobotCow: a repository you can add directly to synaptic so it pulls down the newer versions as they're released [05:17] Keevo: sudo ./install_flash_player_10_linux.deb [05:17] RobotCow: try here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gobby/0.4.1-1ubuntu1 [05:18] command not found [05:18] How do you implement commands with nslookup? [05:18] RobotCow: If you're on non-jaunty, you can use prevu to backport Jaunty's version. Which is what you want. [05:18] !prevu | RobotCow [05:18] RobotCow: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [05:18] if that doesn't work download different .tar .deb or what ever form and do it just like befor [05:18] one will work [05:19] Flannel: would be better to use a PPA IMHO, but doesnt look like they've got one [05:19] only because Im guessing he wants to stay up to date [05:19] Cpudan80: eh? There's nothing wrong with the Jaunty version. Its the version he wants, and gobby is fine to backport. [05:20] my rollover audio preview in file browser doesn't work, any suggestions? [05:20] Flannel: 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] Cpudan80: yes, but he can re-backport it with prevu when he wants to upgrade. [05:21] Keevo: did it work? [05:21] Nope. It said command not found. [05:21] Flannel: kind of a moot point anyway -- no PPA for it [05:21] try another file type [05:21] Eh? [05:22] .tar .tg whatever [05:22] try them all the same way [05:22] I don't believe my eyes!

[05:25] Flannel: perfect [05:25] Flannel: any idea why they haven't pushed it to Intrepid ? [05:25] :) [05:26] Cpudan80: Because... they wont? They may put it in -backports [05:26] Hey,I just have compiled a kernel,who can tell me where is the compiling log file [05:26] Flannel: but why not? It's not hard to do ... [05:26] Cpudan80: Versions are frozen... like always. [05:26] what does this mean? Requested 'obby-0.4 >= 0.4.6' but version of obby is 0.4.5 [05:26] hello [05:26] Flannel: oh right right [05:27] RobotCow: You need to use prevu, the Jaunty deb won't work on what you have (you have to backport) [05:27] RobotCow: you are .001 too low is what it means [05:27] Yeah...now it says no such file or directory. [05:27] where can i find a good power management guide for ubuntu [05:27] Keevo: what are you even trying to do? [05:27] Well, I don't have any audio when I watch a Flash video. [05:27] did you download them from adobe before you tried to install them? Keevo? [05:28] So everyone is telling me to re-install Flash via Terminal [05:28] Downloaded them all from Adobe.

[05:28] Cpudan80: Keevo is trying to install flash while using the Ubuntu live CD [05:28] sorry had to install java [05:28] while using the live CD? [05:28] Should I not use the Live CD? [05:28] What the ... why ? [05:28] Cpudan80: yeah I believe so [05:28] Is there a verizon channel somewhere? [05:29] Keevo: is ubuntu installed to your computer? [05:29] I was going to install it to my Flash Drive today, but it told me my 2 gig flash drive wasn't enough. [05:29] TonyMontana: #defocus [05:29] Oh crud. It isn't. I should have mentioned that earlier. [05:29] TonyMontana: that's the "catchall channel" [05:29] Hamerhead you there? [05:29] did you remember to make all the files excitable? Keevo [05:29] Keevo: ok but are you booted to the actual installed OS ? [05:29] What do you mean? [05:30] For example, my computer has two OSs on the HDD -- Ubuntu and XP [05:30] Join Ubuntu [05:30] I am sitting in Ubuntu right now [05:30] someone see my question? :) [05:30] I am not running a live CD, live USB key or ..... what is your situation Keevo === tsukasa is now known as tsukasa_ [05:30] Keevo:every file that you downloaded has to be made to be executable before it will work.

Suppose I buy a gtx295 (which is sli configured), will I be able to take advantage of both gpus? [05:54] hey guys, i just installed 8.10 on vmware as a guestos but when it boots up it boots up to terminal instead of the desktop envirenment, any ideas why? [05:54] i changed to root, coz i cant sudo properly, the password doesnt work, so i just have 2 change to root to do things [05:54] ziroday, sudo passwd root will change the root password (although Father Security doesn't recommend it) [05:54] Is sli now support in the linux nvidia drivers? [05:54] ziroday, then you just type 'su' and type root's new password, hi, i'm root. [05:54] s/support/supported [05:54] joetheodd: I'm aware as to how to do it, why you would do it is another thing :) [05:55] irc1: did you install server? [05:55] !noroot > joetheodd [05:55] joetheodd, please see my private message [05:55] hi fellas. Just a small issue. Whenever I go to guess session the desktop ain't pretty.

[05:55] Ok I can Play music in rythem but sounds realy chopy [05:55] scunizi, no, its ubuntu-desktop [05:55] Zallik: err okay. Well root is not really supported here.

[05:55] joetheodd: no worries :D [05:55] it should be a common question [05:55] TomH1973: try killing pulseaudio [05:56] Pulseaudio where is that at?

[05:57] doseryder: that's a question you should address here http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14 but I believe SLI is supported in most of the cases. [05:57] jeeeez: the easiest way is `sudo touch /forcefsck` and then reboot [05:57] doseryder, I did a quick google of "sli ubuntu" and this forum topic looks promising -- http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=607385 [05:57] jeeeez: (and it'll fsck while you boot-- taking longer than normal, etc) [05:58] Flannel: thanks, but where do i mention which partition to check? [05:58] What? [05:58] Zallik: try typing in startx [05:58] ok back sory about that [05:58] "cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied" when i run startx [05:58] what does that mean?

[06:01] ok How do I do that I am New to Ubuntu [06:01] <[_[__Luly__]_]> HAY DRIVER DE VIDEO SIS PARA UBUNTU????? [06:01] Zallik: I believe you need to reinstall. Futhermore running as root is dangerous. And ssh won't display graphical apps unless you enable X forwarding by doing ssh -X but it will still be _very very_ slow [06:01] <[_[__Luly__]_]> O EN QUE DISTRO PUEDO CONSEGUIRLO [06:02] TomH go to system [06:02] !es | [_[__Luly__]_] [06:02] pref [06:02] hi, can anyone help me with my LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

[06:02] i.e konqueror [06:03] Zallik: it doesn't work like that. I strongly recommend a reinstall. Plus you won't get any x forwarding anyway unless you ssh in with ssh -X [06:03] Whenever I suspend to ram, my usb external hard drive's device, /dev/sdb1 becomes invalid and I have to unplug/replug it in for it to work properly.

[06:44] slimjim: my favorite 'power user' distro, by far [06:44] well i got dream for Xfce ubuntu for GNOME so i was gona look at a KDE and possiable a Fluxbox [06:44] please give me a link for Help.. [06:44] ok brb [06:44] but i will look at Arch also [06:44] kdemod for arch happens to be one of the best kde implementations out there right now [06:44] nothing wrong with tasting them all [06:44] thanks will look into it [06:44] shabgard: have you read the documentation for smbldap-populate ? [06:44] right now i am dl FC10 for my flash card. for my lappy [06:45] gona boot of it with a program i found to turn any thumb or flash drive into a bootable as long as your bios supports it [06:45] yes ..but I can't ... [06:45] try this out shabgard http://search.ubuntu.com/results2.html?cx=009650792990864903260%3A-lsdjshi1tu&cof=FORID%3A11&ie=UTF-8&q=smbldap.conf&sa=Search#1102 [06:45] slimjim: you mean 'unetbootin' [06:45] i also have DL on a small partion on my lappy for when i dont want to mess with vi$ta [06:45] shabgard: does that explain how to set up a config file for smbldap? [06:45] thanks for this [06:45] slimjim: which should be always :p [06:46] np [06:46] make sure to bookmark it ok [06:47] eq 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 idea [06:47] shabgard: 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 reading [06:47] I do base on this link---> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAP-SambaPDC-OrgInfo-Posix [06:47] shabgard: I do not know how smbldap.conf should be set up so don't ask me about setting it up [06:47] slimjim: 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 entry [06:47] EQ 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 it [06:48] ok i will look in the fstab configuration and most likly auto mount it that way [06:48] shabgard: if you follow the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAP-SambaPDC-OrgInfo-Posix correctly it should work [06:49] so 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 =)~ heheheh [06:49] I have check this ...very tanks for help you [06:49] slimjim: of course. do you want full iso backups or xvid backups? [06:50] shabgard: use "thank you very much for your help" instead of "very tanks for help you" [06:50] xvid...so i can slim em down and thor them on my tb to travel with my lappy [06:50] i work for contract copmany in the mid east and my tower dont travel to well =) [06:50] slim: check out acidrip [06:50] not much american tv other there so =) you know [06:50] gota have the movies [06:50] gotcha [06:51] thanks when it is done loadig i will let it update and then get that sourcecode [06:51] slimjim: no need, there's a binary in the repos [06:51] nice [06:51] even beter [06:51] so they have done alot with the binary on this one then i remember when i tested out i htink it was 5 there was alot of stuff still being added [06:52] i bet tho they still have not added back LIBDVDCSS to the repo...that is ok i have it on my other drive =) [06:53] stupid us and there stupid copy right crap...

[06:59] eq what ll you dable in. I started in RH long time ago. then merged to solaris, and then back to RH then tok a break and came back in with openSUSE and Ubuntu, and made my way back int Dream and FC [06:59] slimjim: wait til you see the automatic codec installation, add/remove programs, etc [06:59] and i run it all on an older AMD Socket A mobo and box [07:00] 256mb of old DDR ram too =) [07:00] but the board supports RAID 133 haha old school [07:00] 82% [07:00] slimjim: mostly Arch and Ubuntu at the moment, but I've been lots of places. I still have RPM nightmares. [07:00] http://www.cellstores.com/autocontent.aspx?pageid=1907&referringdomain=fortune&Eid=5526541 [07:00] And if you deside to call you will need to give them my Rep.

You can always take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [07:03] hello everyone .. I have a really strange problem with AdobeAir.

[07:10] HammerHead66: I installed Adobe Air (not flash). I'm getting that error when I go to launch the installer [07:10] why doesn't tar -cvf test.txt work with me? [07:11] mouseclon1: 1 sec ok [07:11] it says tar cowardly refusing to create an empty archive [07:12] mouseclon1: where did you get the program from? === btw0rm is now known as igi [07:12] ?

[07:13] igi: try naming an archive [07:13] he i really need to find my dns id [07:13] HammerHead66: I get the error even if I do not select a program. If I start the Adobe Air installer, and then cancel it. I get the error with out the seg fault [07:13] onglive ubuntu. is there any 9.xx LTS? I use 8.04 Hardy LTS [07:14] in kubuntu is there an app that can see my joysticks and configure them?..they are usb [07:14] ksbalaji: No. The next scheduled LTS will be 10.04 [07:14] !joystick [07:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about joystick [07:14] iam trying to add the test.txt into a tarball [07:14] mouseclon1: ok I'm download it now to check it out [07:14] igi: into a new tarball? [07:14] yes [07:14] does anyone know how to find a dns server addie? [07:14] tar -czf tarball.tar.gz test.txt [07:14] hammerHead66: Adobe has instructions on install http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb408084 [07:14] mouseclon1:ty [07:14] Flannel: thanks. When will that be please (10.04) [07:15] wrektjet, opendns.com [07:15] ksbalaji: 4th month of 2010 [07:15] ksbalaji: Releases are year.month, so April of 2010 [07:15] ksbalaji: so probably around mid-April 2010 [07:15] mouseclon1: what air app are you trying to install [07:15] isnt there a terminal command that can tell me current settings> [07:16] cat /etc/resolv.conf [07:16] wrektjet: /etc/resolv.conf [07:16] HammerHead66: also better on Ubunt Forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=941093. Adobe left a ln out of their install directions [07:16] mshade: thanks it works [07:16] mouseclon1: did you get this probelm? /tmp/AdobeAIRSDK.tbz2 could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences. [07:16] lstarnes: ,Flannel that is good info. I would not upgrade from 8.04 till then. I would happly update till then. [07:16] quibbler: really i'm trying to get Twirl to install.. but I have triez Spaz as well [07:16] hi... i have just updated to 9.04 alpha, but i can't start the NIVDIA driver . my Driver is 180.37 and my graphic card is 9800GT , any suggestion? [07:17] HammerHead66: That's a bug in xulrunner to do with mime-type handling... do a Save As... instead [07:17] HammerHead66: no i didn't [07:17] ksbalaji: usually non-LTS releases work well after being out for a couple months [07:17] fukid: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support [07:17] HammerHead66: had trouble until I got all of the 32bit libs installed [07:17] lstarnes, ksbalaji: there's absolutely nothing wrong with sticking to the LTS path [07:17] thanks ^^ [07:18] I have a new DellStdio XPS laptop with 4gb ram, happily seen by bios and memtest, however ubuntu only report 4gb, can someone please give me pointer as to how to resolve this [07:18] hi [07:18] burn it [07:18] sup waoh [07:18] hiiptihop_: It has 4GB and Ubuntu see's 4GB ... don'y you mean Ubuntu see's 3GB ? [07:19] see moar [07:19] IntuitiveNipple, indeed that is what I meant to say [07:19] hiiptihop_: OK, are you using a 32-bit version of Ubuntu? [07:19] 64! [07:19] thnx guys [07:19] HammerHead66: also libadobecertstore.so gave the trouble until I did what adobe's direction 14 says.. I'm wondering if I can just do the same for the other file that is having trouble [07:19] yes I believe so, how do I confirm ? [07:19] i still havent solved my isues but its astart [07:19] hiiptihop_: uname -a [07:20] Friends, earlier I had non-LTS. I used to worry about non working applications. Now after LTS, I am preoccupied only with my data and not the non-working applications! [07:20] excuse me, how do I know if my machine has installed ubuntu 32 or ubuntu 64??? [07:20] tavo: uname -m [07:20] IntuitiveNipple, "2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux" [07:20] hiiptihop_: 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. [07:21] :D [07:21] hiiptihop_: Yes, that's 32-bit - "i686" [07:21] ksbalaji: the non-LTS releases still get regular updates, although only for 18 months [07:21] thanks [07:21] hi eveyone, [07:21] mouseclon1: sorry on mine I have no problems so far [07:21] tavo: x86 = 32 bit, x96_64 = 64 bit [07:21] *x86_64 [07:21] :D [07:21] lstarnes: thanks. for the 18 months info. [07:21] I've 32 bit [07:21] tavo: uname -a [07:21] !want x96 [07:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about want x96 [07:21] many thanks lstarnes :D [07:22] IntuitiveNipple, ohh bugger.. ... how do I confirm I havee 64bit cpu's ? [07:22] HammerHead66: ok thx [07:22] hiiptihop_, which is your processor? how many ram do you have? [07:22] hiiptihop_: cat /proc/cpuinfo [07:22] How can I install a 64 bit ubuntu'??? [07:22] mouseclon1: you have 64bit? [07:23] tavo: download the amd64 version of ubuntu and install that [07:23] hiiptihop_: look for the line: address sizes [07:23] tavo, download 64bit ubuntu... [07:23] :O [07:23] addisson: yes [07:23] I thought I could install it by using synaptic [07:23] how can I change the Hostname of my laptop ? [07:23] thanks lstarnes I'm downloading 64bit ubuntu [07:23] tavo, nah... [07:23] any idea, about how can I change the Hostname of my laptop ? [07:23] tavo: synaptic will only install 32-bit packages if you are using 32-bit ubuntu [07:24] xD [07:24] tavo: It isn't possible to update from a 32-bit installation to 64-bit... it needs a fresh install of all the executable binaries and system libraries [07:24] hey [07:24] !hostname | Waouh [07:24] Waouh: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [07:24] mouseclon1: ok I see why your having problems [07:24] what a hostname is? [07:24] and what about localhost? [07:24] HammerHead66: what did I do wrong? [07:24] IntuitiveNipple, ok, can't see if 32 or 64 but it is model Intel T9550... just looking that up [07:24] a hostname is the name of the computer [07:24] tavo: localhost is the default hostname of 127.0.0.1, which points back to your own computer [07:25] hiiptihop_, is that the one that comes with the dell xps? [07:25] :O [07:25] hiiptihop_: Yes, that's a Core 2 Duo [07:25] woltter, yes [07:25] and what is that for? [07:25] hiiptihop_, nice, i have that machine too =D [07:25] tavo: what is what for? [07:25] which is the best player to play HD movies? [07:25] what is localhost [07:25] hiiptihop_, and yes ,its 64bit [07:25] !tab | hiiptihop_ [07:25] hiiptihop_: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [07:26] for example my current Hostname is Toto and I want change it to Titi [07:26] tavo, the local host - your host; your computer. [07:26] IntuitiveNipple, crap, I just grabbed an intrepid cd I had lying about and did not even think about it [07:26] hiiptihop_: :) [07:26] Waouh: I told ubottu to send you instructions about it [07:26] wolter, yes very nice machine ... so I'm going to have trash this install and start again ? [07:27] hi there [07:27] hiiptihop_, you could do that... [07:27] the docs that are installed from synaptic ... how do I read them [07:27] silv3r_m00n: look in /usr/share/docs [07:27] thanks [07:27] silv3r_m00n: actually, /usr/share/doc [07:27] Waouh: sudo sed -i '/Toto/ s/Toto/Titi/g' /etc/hostname [07:27] hiiptihop_, if it's a new install I would do that.. [07:27] how can i log a user out of my system?> [07:27] lstarnes: that I can see ... but isn't there some kind of interface to read the docs folder section wise [07:28] hello can anyone help me connect my video camera to my usb - i am using ubuntu intrepid thanks [07:28] hi i was trying to setup my modem using wine for accessing a fax software called winfax. when i run the setup of adding a modem i am not able see any device in the "Modems and Communications Devices Properties" window but when i click "Test Com Ports..." the program starts to scan for the modem and it finds the modem in COM1. When i say add i am not able to add the modem can any one tell me on how to add the modem? [07:28] IntuitiveNipple, wolter_, I obviously want to make the most of my new machine. Is there a downside to going full 64bit ? [07:28] silv3r_m00n: I'm not sure === BOZG[Away] is now known as BOZG [07:28] hiiptihop_: I've been running 64-bit for 2 years ona similar CPU - no problems so far. [07:28] hiiptihop_, few software doesn't work right, like flash and java (they say, but i do ok with those) [07:28] hiiptihop_, also, some printer drivers, like canon ip1800, don't work on 64bit [07:29] hiiptihop_, the thing is, your computer will be faster on 64bit. [07:29] The only problems are with proprietary software mostly, that doesn't get compiled for 64-bit [07:29] wtf [07:29] i restarted my kubuntu install..and gnome laoded after the KDe loginn screen? [07:30] How did this happen? [07:30] sixofour: Gremlins? [07:30] sixofour: did you install ubuntu-desktop? [07:30] i don't know wtf is up :( [07:30] kubuntu [07:30] is there a room for Desktop mechanical questions? [07:30] sixofour: or gnome? [07:30] wolter_, IntuitiveNipple , well currently I'm developing using flex. so far on Windows but using Ubuntu in VirtualBox as host... now with new machine I wwant to reverse that...and ultimately hopefully do development in native ubuntu [07:30] i don't even have gnome [07:30] well, thought i didn't [07:31] ive rebooted fine many times [07:31] hiiptihop_: Sounds good.. you should be able to use Windows in either VirtualBox or the native Linux virtual machine, KVM [07:31] hello can anyone help me connect my digital camera? [07:31] Is there a room for desktop mechanical questions??? [07:31] TonyMontana: like what? [07:31] hiiptihop_, compiling is much faster on 64bit [07:31] hiiptihop_: Also, I *think* wine can support flex now... you'd need to check on that though, so you could potentially run it directly on Linux [07:31] let me reboot properly [07:31] IntuitiveNipple, yes, been wrestling trying tto get my existing WindowsXP off old laptop and virtualized [07:32] lstarnes: like my PC wont turn on all the way when I press the power button [07:32] hiiptihop_: yeah, did you create a new Hardware Profile with generic hardware first? That is always a useful step [07:32] TonyMontana: what happens when you try to start it? [07:32] IntuitiveNipple, using the VMWare Converter to grab the physical install and turn it into a vm, and then migrate that across to a virtualBox vm [07:32] which is the best player to play HD movies in ubuntu? [07:32] hiiptihop_: ouch :) [07:33] It will light up like it's about to boot up but then it shuts back down, and the second time I press it it will boot up all the way [07:33] IntuitiveNipple, is that the wrong way to go ? [07:33] TonyMontana: try asking in ##hardware [07:33] thanks [07:33] ganesh: I think you need the libraries... most players rely on them. libx264 and aac I *think* [07:33] hiiptihop_: I don't think there's a 'wrong' way... just some routes are more scenic than others :) [07:33] IntuitiveNipple, just want to grab my curretn winXP develop environment etc and just run, not go through all the win crap, install everything again [07:34] IntuitiveNipple, :-) [07:34] hiiptihop_: Yeah... I had success with the generic Hardware Profile approach. [07:34] that place is a Ghost town I need somewhere that's populater [07:34] *populated [07:34] IntuitiveNipple, pointer to what you suggest ? and then even with a new profile, how do you transfer it into a virtualized env ? === darren_ is now known as trialnerror [07:34] TonyMontana: that is the official channel for asking hardware questions on this network [07:35] IntuitiveNipple, did you need to rreactiviate too ? [07:35] everyone's asleep there [07:35] TonyMontana: this channel is just for ubuntu-related questions [07:35] Can someone help me set up an ethernet bridge? [07:35] I know [07:35] Greencoat421 - have you looked at brctl? [07:36] yeah wtf [07:36] regular ubuntu loads after i log in to KDE [07:36] my pc feels like a mac now :( [07:36] hiiptihop_: 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] I 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 firestarter [07:36] dparker no what is it? [07:36] hiiptihop_: I don't recall having to, no [07:37] Greencoat421: it is the thing you'll use to set up bridging in the kernel [07:37] if you don't have it, install it and read the man page [07:37] it should be pretty clear from the man page [07:37] do I need to mess with the kernel if all I'm doing is sharing an internet connection [07:37] IntuitiveNipple, sounds good, have link to how to do raw copy ? [07:38] Greencoat421: All you should need is to configure routing correctly, and possibly DNS/DHCP with something like dnsmasq [07:38] well - 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 anything [07:38] Basically the xbox keeps saying it can't get an ip adress [07:38] IntuitiveNipple, also, any reason for KVM vs VirtualBox ? [07:38] I have dnsmasq installed and I believe setup correctly [07:38] !sound [07:38] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [07:38] yeah - so disable your firewall stuff first, get it working, then worry about securing it Greencoat421 [07:38] hiiptihop_: 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!) [07:39] ok so I get this straight: [07:39] Hi! anybody here know about fully ubuntuing a macbook? [07:39] Greencoat421: you may need to enable IP Forwarding on the interface(s) [07:39] turn off firestarter, reconfigure dnsmasq and trry to connect? [07:40] I 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] Greencoat421 - 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 working [07:40] then secure it after. [07:40] that way you limit the variables you're working with [07:40] Well the first thread I found siad to use firestarter to share the connection [07:40] you said initially that you want to do a bridge - is that correct? [07:40] yes [07:40] not a router? [07:40] I'm not worried about the firewall [07:41] right, this is my set up [07:41] ok - then get brctl and read that man page [07:41] Greencoat421: 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/KvmQemuEasyRoutedNetwork [07:41] bridging is pretty simple [07:41] dsl--> wireless router----> Ubuntu Desktop<--->xbox 360 [07:41] and you want the xbox to dhcp off that wireless router right? [07:41] Greencoat421: think of the VMs in the wiki article as the interfaces used to connect to the xbox [07:42] or do you want it to dhcp off the ubuntu box? === varg is now known as vargo [07:42] dparker: I think off the Ubuntu PC - he said he had dnsmasq installed [07:42] I would prefer it to just dhcp so I have to configure as little as possible [07:42] I do have dnsmasq installed [07:42] ok - then Greencoat421 you're making a router, not a bridge [07:42] IntuitiveNipple, thanks for pointers and assist. time to download fresh 64bit ubuntu then [07:43] hiiptihop_: good luck with that! [07:43] if 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 sort [07:43] all I want to do is be able to connect to xbox live through my ubuntu desktop which is connected wirelessly [07:43] ok [07:44] yeah - really - I'd look at bridging [07:44] you would not need dnsmasq in that case [07:44] how do you add a directory to places? [07:44] just bridge the interfaces together [07:44] which is the simplest way to go about it [07:44] get brctl and read that - it explains a lot [07:44] Does network manager handle a bridge on a wlan interface? [07:44] I need simple more than solid [07:45] IntuitiveNipple - /me has always done it by hand, so don't know [07:45] ok what the package for brctl [07:45] I'm just thinking bridging could leave Greencoat421 in a more confused situation :) [07:45] Greencoat421: a cool thing about Ubuntu [07:45] hello can anyone help me connect my usb camera? [07:45] if you just type "brctl" in an attempt to run it, ubuntu will tell you want you need to install [07:45] pretty neat [07:46] (and you may already have it) [07:46] well when I typed brctl it gave me a list of commands [07:46] ok - you have it then [07:46] just man brctl and read up [07:47] hello, 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] the 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 perspective [07:47] does anyone know kubuntu and can come talk in #kubuntu? [07:48] * dparker in fact runs kubuntu [07:48] I think I feel a headache comming on [07:48] is it really a kde question? [07:49] yes [07:49] kde fails to load and i have to use gnome [07:51] sixofour - sorry - I haven't dug into the particulars in kubuntu - it's always just worked for me. You might check ~/.xsession-errors and /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:51] hello can anyone help me connect my usb camera? [07:52] dan - do you want it to look like a disk drive when you plug it in? [07:52] or is this a webcam? [07:52] ok dpraker Ive added eth0 and ra0(my wlan) to my bridge br0 [07:52] mouseclon1: I just trying to help out man... that program is new to me. And to top it off I can't get passed number 3 in the install because it said it doesn't have the file. I can't help that. [07:52] dparker the first one please [07:53] dparker: its a jvc handycam and i just want to get the pictures i have in it [07:53] dan - 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] dan: once you've done that, when you plug it in, it will just work - it'll show up as a new drive. [07:54] probably w/ a camera icon [07:54] dparker it doesnt show in nautilus, ive tried lsusb and it shows the hardware [07:54] Bus 001 Device 072: ID 04f1:0008 Victor Company of Japan, Ltd GZ-MG30AA/MC500E Digital Video Camer [07:55] but nothing in nautilus or pcmanfm [07:55] Greencoat421 - 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 br0 [07:55] yeah - 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 device [07:55] hi [07:56] how do you get the screenshot of a window? [07:57] general→ Alt+PrintScreen [07:57] dparker thanks - i already put it to usb mode by putting the switch to usb [07:57] general: look on the upper right hand side of keyboard just to the left of the Scroll lock button [07:57] magcius: thanks very much, but how do you do this in script? [07:57] HammerHead66: thanks ^ [07:57] magnetron: ^ [07:57] general→ "scrot" is a command to do automated screenshots. [07:58] Where do I get GTK+ engines? [07:58] Anyone with a laptop that has ATI Radeon HD3450 and is using HDMI-out? My lappy seems to be unable to output proper HDMI, I've tried it with 2 different monitors and also in windows [07:58] dan - 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] magnetron: thanks! [07:59] dparker: ok thanks [07:59] np [07:59] mn: there are several in the repositories as gtk2-engines-whatever [08:00] mouseclon1: i take it you had looked here? http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb408084 [08:00] magnetron: i want to run xvbf and open a firefox to get the screen shot. do you have any idea? [08:00] ty crdlb, that gave me all the info i needed [08:00] Dooes anybody know what the best way to single boot a macbook with ubuntu would be? I'm having problems with the bootloader [08:01] i know the steps of commands to do this, but how can you make sure it takes screen shot after the web page finished loading? [08:01] magnetron: ^ === e2i is now known as Guest86010 === ari_ is now known as p-suti [08:02] jgg [08:03] hai [08:03] ohai [08:03] Can someone help me with a rather simple apache question? [08:03] sorry italy [08:04] slag - have you tried #apache? [08:04] ahhhhh [08:04] i forget the command to leave a channel dparker :-) [08:04] !it | michele [08:04] michele: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [08:04] years since i played on IRC [08:04] hehe [08:05] hello? [08:06] ok dparker I need you to help me out here [08:06] !welcome | Greencoat421 [08:06] Greencoat421: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [08:06] Greencoat421: sup? [08:06] the manual was useless to me beyond setting up the br [08:06] this is what I did [08:06] addbr br0 [08:07] then addif etho(the xbox) [08:07] then addif ra0(the wlan) [08:07] !enter | Greencoat421 [08:07] Greencoat421: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:07] and presto my connection stopped working alltogether [08:07] Greencoat421: yeah - see - things get slightly counter-intuitive at that point [08:08] Well the manual didn't explain a thing [08:08] just what the commands did, not how to put them together [08:08] it 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 own [08:08] then you dhclient br0 [08:08] which one is true? 2.8 > 2.16 or 2.8 < 2.16? [08:09] first [08:09] Ok ok so I do what I did again, then $ dhclient bro ? [08:09] *br0 [08:09] right - and that should get a dhcp lease from wherever - your wireless router I think is where you said it'll come from [08:09] now [08:10] coincidentally at that point your xbox should be able to dhcp as well [08:10] well - once you've set up the bridge, the xbox should be able to dhcp [08:10] ok, anymore steps after that? [08:10] nope - should just work [08:11] ok so to recap: [08:11] addbr br0 [08:11] addif eth0 [08:11] addif ra0 [08:11] dhclient br0 [08:11] Greencoat421: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:12] Greencoat421 yeah. I'm not sure if you *must* remove the addresses from the "real" interfaces either [08:12] it might be that you have to - I don't recall [08:12] if I do have to, how do I do that [08:12] sec [08:12] anyone got a good howto for setting up a radio station, perhaps with icecast? [08:12] ok [08:13] how do i save my system changes in Live cd? [08:13] got this problem on my laptop when installing 8.10 today, if i use volume buttons (just click once) the computer ends in an endless loop thinking i'm hogging the button (if i click the other one it thinks i'm holding that one down), most of the os is crashed but will fix after i relogg/reboot. worked last time i had ubuntu 8.10 (some months ago) and previous ubuntus (and currently in windows). know of any way to fix it ? [08:13] Greencoat421: ip addr del IFADDR dev STRING [08:14] ok I'll be back if things go awry again [08:14] i installed some packages and would like to retain it [08:14] Greencoat421: actually - do "ip addr list" that'll tell you what ifaddr and string should be [08:14] anyone know how to turn on RAW directory listing in apache? [08:15] it's the Index option for a directory or location [08:15] slag [08:15] Options Index or maybe Indexing - I forget [08:15] how do i save my system changes in Live cd to a local disk for future use? [08:15] ahhh [08:15] i am now on live cd.. [08:15] okay :-) [08:17] 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 speed [08:18] anyone can answer my question? [08:19] mamafish - 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. [08:20] dparker: i understand just looking for the possibilities [08:20] mamafish - sorry - I don't have an answer [08:20] that's ok [08:22] dinesh_ - 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. [08:23] dparker: how can i increase the speed if possible [08:23] dinesh_ there are just, you know, lots and lots of ways to do that [08:24] you might look at squid [08:24] you might look at dnsmasq [08:24] those can both help a lot [08:24] if you're using firefox, there are add-ons that tweak firefox to make speed it up as well [08:25] Hey how do I find any files that contains kanye in my entire system? [08:25] ok yet more problems [08:25] Greencoat4211: what happened? [08:26] dparker: can you name one of those firefox addon that can speed up [08:26] ok the first time I did all the commands and with dhclient it froze the computer [08:26] dinesh_ - I think there's one called fasterfox [08:26] then I rebooted and when I did brctl show I had a pan0, I think this is from ndiswrapper for my wireless card [08:26] hunh - really? [08:26] yeah [08:26] so I tried adding etho to pan0 but no luck [08:27] don't know dude it should just work [08:27] dhclient ran through, but said no dhcpoffers [08:27] those ndiswrapper drivers are a bit twitchy though I think [08:27] well will having pan0 affect having br0 [08:27] no [08:28] then I'll see if br0 freezes dhclient again [08:28] do you have wireless security turned on? [08:28] yes [08:28] surely there is a much simpler way of doing this === sheep is now known as lstarnes [08:29] Greencoat4211: could be - I am an older dude and I've always used the command line stuff [08:29] Ahoj [08:31] can someone tell me how I can search my entire harddisk for files that contains "kanye"? [08:31] Greencoat4211: you know what *really* makes it easy? Get a WRT 54GL and flash DD-WRT onto it. [08:31] :) [08:31] seriously - dd-wrt is awesome [08:31] disappearedng: there's a "search" button in nautilus [08:32] would someone know how to get window borders to work correctly in icewm? [08:33] eqisow1: that doesnt work that well i don't know why, I tried it, but I can't find anything but I know for sure that I have one song by kanye west because I can see me uploading it in mldonkey [08:34] disappearedng - cd / ; grep -ri kanye * [08:34] that'd run for a while [08:34] 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] dparker thanks [08:35] achilles - what do you mean by "once I get in (ssh), no ping to anywhere could be" ? [08:36] dparker, 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 ping [08:36] dparker, no iptables defined [08:37] still no joy [08:37] Greencoat421: :( - should work [08:37] achilles: so you can ssh to the machine and get a shell via the ip address that's assigned to the bridge device [08:38] and you can interact w/ the shell [08:38] dparker, exactly [08:38] no no [08:38] I 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 test [08:38] I can interact normally [08:38] but the server can't see any host in the LAN [08:38] even the PC I connect from [08:38] the desktop internet is working fine [08:38] yes [08:38] achilles: but - you can connect to it? [08:39] with ssh [08:39] from some other node [08:39] ? [08:39] dparker, yeah ! [08:39] well - that's definitely weird [08:39] dparker, I can ping it also, but the server can't ping any host [08:39] I like the ubuntu, because it likes me [08:39] iptables are clear on the machine from which you are ssh-ing? [08:40] dparker, yes totally clear [08:40] so no other ideas dparker? [08:40] is this all just jacked into a dumb switch? [08:40] Greencoat421: sec [08:40] ok [08:41] ok somehow the br0 wasn't saved [08:42] achilles - all the nodes are just plugged into plain dumb switch? [08:42] dparker, yes , I can ping them from my PC [08:43] and they can ping that stupid server normally [08:43] random question: why is it that when I install a video driver (for example) Ubuntu installs all the others along with it? [08:44] and for all the iptables you did iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT etc? [08:44] (default policy) [08:44] dparker, yes, some of them aren't linux, but yeah, I'm sure [08:45] achilles - k - you got me. if you're establishing an ssh connection, you obviously have routing working in both directions. [08:45] this will make me lose my mind [08:45] unless you've got some filter going on in the middle, can't think of anything that'd keep it from working [08:45] all of that stuff on the same LAN [08:46] netmasks all correct? [08:46] those can get you [08:46] if you have netmasks mis-matched [08:48] yes the are correct [08:48] word [08:48] well - dude - put wireshark on the workstation and sniff [08:48] the weird thing, every host can access the server, but no where from the server you can go [08:49] as it refuses to establish any connection to the outside word [08:49] yeah - sniff. maybe check /var/log/* [08:49] or even to the lan [08:49] it sounds like filtering [08:50] but - don't know - check logs and use a sniffer to see what if anything is getting on the wire [08:50] okay [08:50] well [08:50] thank you [08:50] do you have selinux turned on? [08:50] random question: why is it that when I install a video driver (for example) Ubuntu installs all the others along with it? [08:50] achilles: selinux might be able to mess you up there too [08:51] I'd be sure that's all turned off [08:51] anyone here? [08:51] I don't have SELinux [08:51] k [08:51] can someone helpme? [08:51] sniff and read logs [08:51] <|Jurij|> Привет [08:51] <|Jurij|> Нужна помощь [08:51] <|Jurij|> ???

[08:54] which package contain the man page for "fopen ,fseek " the c functions? [08:55] Anyone use Ekiga? [08:55] NewHandFromCN, probably glibc-doc or libc-doc [08:55] no.. 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 =/) [08:56] dparker, 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 LAN [08:56] PrebenR: thank you. :D. i try try [08:56] hi, is there a configuration utility for the xorg intel driver? something to conf. colors, etc. [08:57] Hi, im trying to get Xhost working [08:57] there are a set of instructions that are not working :( [08:57] can someone help me [08:57] achilles: yeah - so that sounds like the network routes are wrong [08:57] achilles: when you bring an interface up, a network route is automatically created [08:57] I've got some problems with apt-get. It's really slow, in the beginning like 50 kb/s, then 500b/s. I have 10 mbit ADSL and usually download in about 700 kb/s [08:57] http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl_xhost.htm <-- Step 3 isnt working [08:58] achilles - you're sure the masks are right? [08:58] dparker, the server and the other nodes on the same switch, the network ID 192.168.200.0/24 .. [08:58] yes totally sure [08:58] Hello all [08:58] :) [08:59] Is anyone there by chance?

[09:00] Im only having a problem, Ubuntu installed onto my laptop, and its stuck at user and password, like it didnt let me set up my password, and i cant get it to install again, ive made like 2 disks to correct this lol [09:00] Im on vista atm, i despise it lol [09:01] achilles: iptables -t nat --list - does that show anything? [09:01] Any experts for Ubuntu here by chance?

It seems broken compared to Debian in Ubuntu 8.10: I want to stop it from trying to generate the invalid locale : no_No.UTF-8 but I cannot find which file locale-gen reads in Ubuntu to change it.

[09:04] /etc/locale.alias [09:04] Chowder, the no_NO I haven't added and it is invalid [09:04] Chowder, that is the alias list [09:04] hmm [09:04] dparker, I have a stupid idea, I'm thinking to restart the server [09:04] k [09:04] I'm used to archlinux [09:05] in debian one had a file where one said which langagues to generate [09:05] /etc/locale.gen [09:05] it seems ubuntu uses some belocs-locales-bin [09:05] try it out [09:05] it shouldn't be harder then commenting/uncommenting something [09:06] ok this bridge is not working [09:06] * bobbie4 loves ubuntu because it is good === stephen is now known as Guest95224 [09:06] it keeps freezing my computer [09:06] Chowder, no go [09:07] have you googled? [09:07] Greencoat421: [09:07] http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Ethernet-Bridge-netfilter-HOWTO.html#ss3.1 [09:07] try that [09:07] how can I reset all of my networking stuff and try starting from scratch [09:07] yes, but I'll try again [09:07] http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="Ubuntu"+locale&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq= [09:07] When in doubt, always google [09:08] ok dparker you keep sending me to stuff that isn't for a beginner [09:09] so how can I reset all the network settings to start again fresh [09:09] I'm trying to compile a plugin package for pidgin, and make keeps failing because its looking for a /usr/lib/libxml2.la that i presume does not exist [09:09] Greencoat421: you can get a console on the thing right [09:10] perhaps one of the threads I followed changed a setting somewhere [09:10] physical console access? [09:10] you mean on the xbox? [09:10] dparker, it worked!! [09:10] Haymaker: install libxml2-dev [09:10] dparker, everything is okay.. very weird [09:10] ok [09:10] dparker, thank you very much [09:10] so the stack was just confused achilles? [09:10] the xbox is standard, no mods so I don't think I can get a console on it [09:11] Greencoat421: I mean the box that you wanna set the bridging up on [09:11] hello , I want to report a bug . it's read but can you take a look at it before I post it [09:11] dparker, maybe this is the only explanation .. but not convinced [09:11] by console you mean a terminal? [09:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/135277/ [09:11] I restarted the networking serv+ [09:11] dparker, I restarted the networking service [09:11] i think it's working, wow thanks i couldn't find that through google [09:11] there'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] Chowder, had to delete /var/lib/belocs and then go to /var/lib/locales/supported.d and remove a no file that wsa there [09:11] achilles: stack must have been confused [09:11] messy [09:12] dparker, what prevents from getting it stuck again [09:12] Haymaker: if you have apt-file, you could try apt-file search /usr/lib/libxml2.la [09:12] Greencoat421: by console I mean can you sit physically at the computer without having to ssh into it? [09:12] yes, I have my computer right next to my xbox all connected to my lcd [09:13] and I am infront of all of them now [09:13] PrebenR, I see [09:13] Chowder, finally! I can start programs in other languages :-) [09:13] ok - so - yeah - so this bridge stuff - you wanna do that right on that console there - not via ssh [09:13] hmmm alright thank you [09:13] right [09:13] how do i configure epiphay to use tor ? [09:13] any ideas? [09:13] hey guys and gals... how long till ubuntu support n-trig multi-touch?? [09:13] Greencoat421: do "sudo bash" to get a root prompt [09:13] Does anyone know how to remove duplicate mails in evolution? I suddunly have a copy of every email in my inbox! [09:13] Chowder, I use english, but when helping other family memebers it is nice to use the correct language to explain how to do sth :-) [09:13] done [09:13] PrebenR, never underestimate the power of google [09:14] :D [09:14] Chowder, didn't find it through google [09:14] Greencoat421: then pretty much do what this here says step by step, but use your own network numbers: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Ethernet-Bridge-netfilter-HOWTO.html#ss3.1 [09:14] Chowder, but I thought to look in /var/lib to see if there was some similar files there [09:14] how do I find my network numbers? [09:14] Chowder, beloc doesn'tseem to care about /etc [09:14] Greencoat421, numbers? [09:15] dparker said it not me [09:15] Green - 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] or is there an evolution irc channel? [09:15] Greencoat421: ^^^ [09:15] poor choice in word [09:16] ok so do everything in that except the last line? [09:16] and do the dhclient instead there [09:16] Greencoat421: yeah- do dhclient br0 in place of the last line [09:16] yes [09:17] PrebenR, the way locales are controlled is a bit strange [09:17] yes [09:17] if they could at least provide some UI [09:18] PrebenR, well you can't have a UI for everything [09:19] different distros just have different ways of doing things [09:19] Chowder, 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 box [09:19] Chowder, Debian has a UI that can be used... [09:20] dpkg-reconfigure locales [09:20] PrebenR, that should work [09:20] did you try that? [09:20] it doesn't in debian [09:20] in ubuntu [09:20] it just starts generating all languages [09:20] man dpkg [09:20] no [09:21] I mean they change it in ubuntu [09:21] Well for some reason, Ubuntu wont go into safe mode. [09:21] to disable that you can choose languages [09:21] tells me memtest, and thats it lol [09:21] google and you'll see others see the same [09:21] thank you, brb logging in to root to fix something [09:21] there'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... [09:21] any ideas? [09:22] CaptainMorgan, why do you need "start from scratch" [09:22] i am not able to play a high clarity video in totem,or vlc..it plays like a slideshow..how do i fix it? [09:22] ok dparker the dhclient froze my computer again [09:22] I installed it all in coordination with a lengthy instruction site on server and thingys.... I'd like to absorb it more, probably went too fast.. but ironically, there are no mistakes... other than choosing an ISP that blocks my port [09:23] Greencoat4211: really? As in you needed to reset it with the reset button?? [09:23] yes [09:23] it's happend just about everytime [09:24] thing 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 while [09:24] are you using the graphic interface - the GUI or just a text console? [09:24] I am using a terminal client in my gui desktop [09:25] I'm running intrepid [09:25] ok - so it could be X freezing up on you - that's a little different. sec... [09:25] you could do a clean reinstall, yes [09:25] ok [09:25] CaptainMorgan, in the future you may want to have your /home partition seperate so that in the event of a reinstall or any problem you'll always have that in tact === Aar0n is now known as LB05 [09:26] eww.... that's how we did it in Sparc/sun systems... just.. ewww [09:26] :) [09:26] Hi, I am seeking for help on installing Java on ubuntu(newest version). I have tried the steps of http://www.javalobby.org/java/forums/t72809.html but it doesn't work :( can anyone please help? [09:27] CaptainMorgan, lol. Its more secure, though. [09:27] in fact. /home, /, /tmp, /var, /boot [09:27] all on different partitions [09:28] hello [09:28] hi [09:28] k - Greencoat4211 - you might try switching to single user mode to do this - have you ever done that? [09:28] anyone have any idea on how to delete a file that says i/o error and doesnt get deleted when i try to delete it? [09:28] nope [09:28] tuffgong, what file? [09:29] tuffgong, also, where's it located? [09:29] Can anybody help me with a media problem? Whenever a .flv file is played, either on youtube or a media program, my other video formats and music wont play. Im running Hardy Heron. Please help me! [09:29] LB05: did you read the day that it was written ? "At 7:57 AM on May 25, 2006" [09:29] its just a file... extension is .vdi its located on a USB drive [09:29] its a 14gig file [09:29] Gilpy, use google [09:29] Oh o.O [09:29] no I didn't see that lol [09:29] ok - 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] tuffgong, that's a disk image for Virtualbox [09:30] Can anyone then forward me to a newer post or something? [09:30] yeah exactly [09:30] tuffgong, is virtualbox running? [09:30] no im not running it [09:30] Ive tried google searching an answer but come up with nothing :( [09:30] ive even restarted my pc several times [09:30] ok, so I do that and all I should need to do is the dhclient right, not the rest of that faq? [09:30] tuffgong, give me the benefit of the doubt and do this: sudo killall -9 virtualbox [09:30] then try and delete it normally [09:31] well - Greencoat4211 if you had to reset the box then yeah you have to re-do the other steps [09:31] Well all the steps worked [09:31] LB05: first of all remove those old repositories if you add them at you system [09:31] Chowder, no process killed... is the output i get [09:31] unless you set up interfaces to do that for you automatically [09:31] cos its not loaded at all [09:31] it was just when I got to the dhclient step that it would freeze [09:31] tuffgong, then try deleting it from the virtual media manager in virtualbox [09:32] rizitis, done. [09:32] Chowder, ive already deleted it [09:32] ok - so - btw - Greencoat4211- before you did the dhclient thing, did you get a chance to try the xbox? [09:32] from the media manager [09:32] at that point the x box should be able to dhcp etc [09:32] tuffgong, sudo rm whateverfile.vdi [09:32] no [09:32] you might try that [09:32] so try it now? [09:32] also - Greencoat4211 - your iptables are all clear right? [09:33] totally clear, default policy to ACCEPT - all that - right? [09:33] I have no idea [09:33] rm: cannot remove `OpenSolaris.vdi': Input/output error [09:33] ohboy ok [09:33] tuffgong, that's odd [09:33] I'm all out of magic tricks [09:33] Chowder, very odd! :s [09:34] Greencoat4211: add this at the beginning of it: "iptables -F; iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT ; iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT ; iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT" [09:34] its eating up friggin 14gigs and i dont have a clue on how to delete it :( [09:34] Hello can anyone help me activate my wireless network please? [09:34] you mean to the faq? [09:34] can you link me again to that? [09:34] anyone here recommend banshee? i am looking for something to replace rythembox as i can't get on with it [09:34] Greencoat4211: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Ethernet-Bridge-netfilter-HOWTO.html#ss3.1 [09:35] http://www.google.com/search?q=rm+input+output+error&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a [09:35] sometime before you attempt the dhclient thing, do the iptables stuff too [09:35] ok, so runn thelins youjst gave me, then the faq, try the xbox, if it doesn't work do the dhco [09:35] tuffgong: http://www.google.com/search?q=rm+input+output+error&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a [09:35] *dhclient [09:35] please? [09:35] Greencoat4211: close - the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive [09:36] Greencoat4211: but since it's been crashing when you do dhclient on the bridge host, I'd just try the xbox first [09:36] if the xbox happens to work, then you know at least that bridging is working [09:36] ok [09:36] but Greencoat4211 - actually - be sure you do those iptables lines first [09:36] before anything [09:37] I just got done doing them [09:37] ok [09:37] hzi [09:37] hardcoding: whats the problem? [09:38] cman error 2 [09:38] what can i do [09:39] Chowder, thanks im readin into that, there's something like deleting the file using its inode no. i think i'll give it a try [09:39] rizitis, I just can't get my wireless network to be activated.. hold on I am going to try ndiswrapper...

I know that, I've already used Kubuntu with my laptop and it would work perfectly fine I just forgot all the commands to activate my card. [09:44] hardcoding: but give the command lspci -nn and pastebin it to see the chipset [09:44] well isnt 8.10 stable yet? [09:45] I'm trying to install subversion from the repos and it is asking me for ubuntu cd rom [09:45] any idea why? [09:45] not as much as 8.04 [09:45] it covers more PC's it is made for the masses [09:46] well whatever it is as long as they dont stop ubuntu beats windoze any day [09:46] rizitis, http://pastebin.com/d587b745c === Pandah is now known as Jmz [09:49] ha [09:49] hardcoding: are you at ubuntu or kubuntu now?

[09:53] dparker: ok none of this is working === assid_ is now known as |Assid| [09:54] Greencoat421: ok - sorry - that's about all I've got [09:54] what is the telinit -s command again [09:54] man telinit [09:54] that puts the machine into single user mode [09:54] it'll shutdown networking and the gui [09:54] hardcoding: I think the problem is at the network manager but I dont know to say now... [09:54] it might mount all volumes read-only as well [09:54] hi there [09:54] hi guys i run hardy, lately is been goin superslow and when i restart the system and it shuts down all the processes a couple of em fail and one of em just doesnt go ahead so it never restarts, is there a tool to verify the integrity of the system? or what do u suggest? thanks [09:55] is that all to the command [09:55] on the gnome desktop how can I make the icons show only 2 lines of caption instead of the whole caption [09:55] just telinit s - it a big mode switch [09:55] is deleting a corrupted undelete-able file using its inode no. on a ntfs usb drive a really good idea? [09:55] it says -s isn't a valid option [09:55] ah [09:55] no - just telinit s [09:56] tuffgong, that sounds like a really bad idea [09:56] but - you know - it's going take you down to a console there [09:56] if i install windows onto a logical partition, will it mess up my mbr? [09:56] just be aware of that [09:56] Chowder, really? what are the risks? [09:56] idk [09:56] but - Greencoat421 - is it still literally locking up the machine when you dhclient? [09:56] it just sounds bad [09:56] lol [09:56] hehe... [09:56] I think its locking up when the xbox queirs for a ip adress [09:57] :S Im loosing my head [09:57] i did the telinit s but nothing happened [09:57] Greencoat421: as root? [09:57] yes [09:57] I did sudo bash [09:57] hrm [09:57] Chowder, is there any fsck kinda tool for ntfs? [09:57] then telinit s [09:57] ok [09:57] tuffgong: try it on a backup of the file system, made with dd, for example [09:58] which ubuntu version are you using, Greencoat421 [09:58] intrepid [09:58] yeah - ok - I think they switched to a new init subsystem which I have not yet looked at [09:58] there may be some crucial differences there [09:59] ok, then how can I just set everything dealing with the network back to deafult so I can start with a clean slate [09:59] shoot - I'm sorry Greencoat421- I'm getting a bit punchy/tired here - I'm afraid I'm going to become increasinglly less effective than I already am ;) [09:59] tuffgong, other than Windows chkdsk, idk [09:59] Greencoat421: sure [09:59] there may be third party programs that off that type of functionality [09:59] whats idk??? [10:00] ntfs-3g [10:00] idk=i don't know [10:00] hmm ok [10:00] Greencoat421: all things being equal, that procedure on that page should pretty much do it - I'm sort of at a loss as to what's going wrong [10:00] how to desactive shortcuts like Alt-F2 or Ctrl+Alt+F2 ? [10:00] heh ok idk neither! :) [10:00] * tuffgong brb digging a grave on the www [10:01] guess I'll just have to dual boot windows until its simplified [10:01] k - sorry Greencoat421 - again - it should work - not sure what's up [10:02] <_dbd_l12> i think ntfsprogs has ntfsck [10:03] <_dbd_l12> maxagaz: http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/howto/disable_extra_ttys [10:05] hia [10:06] http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/search/label/Tweaks <<<<< does this have any merit ? [10:06] there is a list of task I need to do to become Ubuntu Prospectiv Developers [10:06] hello [10:08] ups [10:08] now what's this: sometimes when I login to the session, my theme won't load, and I don't see "Applications, Places..." and Date & Time, and some buttons are different than they should be, and when I right click and "Change Desktop Background" it just logs off. Now this is lol. [10:08] does anybody know what tasks i need to do to become Ubuntu Prospective Developer? [10:10] I'm on intrepid, btw... [10:10] archman when ever I have a issue i just ctrl alt backspace and log in again to see if its better and most of the time it is [10:11] L3dPlatedLinux, I know, but that is simply not the way...anyone knows something? Is it a known bug? [10:11] hello [10:11] dominic_bredoto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamHowto this link will get you started and it has many links to other programs you might want to try [10:11] does anybody know what tasks i need to do to become Ubuntu Prospective Developer? [10:12] dominic_bredoto: scroll up [10:13] hm [10:13] i have got problem with skype [10:14] what problem? [10:14] my microphone volume go down when i start talk with friends [10:14] its 100% when i start skype and after few seconds its going to 50% [10:15] unbreak_my_heart_vs [10:15] hhtgh [10:15] yes [10:15] hello [10:15] hi [10:15] HammerHead66,In Membership Requirements i find this:" Generally, at least two months of visible, significant activity will be required" what it meens? [10:16] i don't known [10:16] dominic_bredoto: you have to be be an Active member for 2 months before you can become whatever you are trying to do I think. what are you trying to do? [10:18] Hi there, what can be done if ubuntu seems to reach CPU max ? This seems strange since I'm doing nothing special... [10:18] Is there a way to switch from Gnome to Xfce? [10:18] hi [10:19] hi [10:19] HammerHead66, to become Ubuntu Prospective or Comtributing Developer [10:19] hi [10:19] affects or effects? (This ban affects me) [10:19] affects [10:20] Thanks Chowder :) [10:20] <_dbd_l12> archman: yes you can install the xfce (sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop) [10:20] dominic_bredoto: try to just be a member. Setup an account to get started. And help the teams out whenever you can. Before you know it you will be able to do what you are hoping to do. [10:20] _dbd_l12, will all the apps remain installed? === Nightwalker_ is now known as Nightwalker- [10:21] HammerHead66, thank [10:21] <_dbd_l12> archman: yes, you will have the choice between gnome and xfce in gdm (where you enter your login credentials when x starts) [10:21] dominic_bredoto: np [10:21] <_dbd_l12> archman: problems will keep installed of course [10:21] Shinu: np [10:21] <_dbd_l12> archman: programs i meant [10:22] anyone know how I'd use rdesktop on ctrl+alt+F8 ? I see the -0 flag in the help screen === FreddyGonzo is now known as minimec [10:25] nm... ctrl+alt+enter [10:25] sorry, had to restart [10:25] so? [10:26] I fathered that I need to defragment an MS-DOS partition before resizing - does the same apply to ext3 filesystems? The data is important. [10:26] Why might closing / switching tabs be so slow for me? [10:27] ~500 - 1500ms [10:27] hi is it better to use 8.04 or better intrepid? Currently I have intrepid 64 bit, but there is a lot buggy [10:27] Usually switching tabs is pretty fast (~90ms), but every 10 or 12 times, it is very slow. [10:28] unlink, opening up a new tab in firefox uses up a significant amount of RAM [10:28] Chowder: I'm not opening any new tabs. Oh, but good point. Firefox is consuming around 2.5 GB. [10:29] wow [10:29] woot [10:29] I just have 8 tabs open. Nothing special, except gmail. [10:29] after only 12 hours I have working NVidia glx! [10:29] hello again [10:30] let this be a lesson to all - if you replace your graphics card with a nearly identical graphics card, it will save time to just wipe your drive and reinstall [10:30] !gnome2.6 [10:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome2.6 [10:30] !upgrade gnome [10:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about upgrade gnome [10:30] Fudge: isn't gnome 2.6 quite old now? [10:30] usign ubuntu 8.10, how do you upgrade gnome, hopefully with aptitude [10:31] So the question is: how to install xfce without any additional apps? [10:31] archman_: one would assume "sudo apt-get install xfce" [10:31] what version is gnome on then? gordonjcp [10:31] 2.26 is newest gnome [10:31] !tab | Fudge [10:31] Fudge: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [10:32] Fudge: if you put the nick at the start of the line, it highlights what you say in that person's irc client [10:32] Hmm. 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] makes it easier to keep track of who is talking to you [10:32] is that 094 [10:32] 904 [10:32] gordonjcp, there's no xfce [10:32] gordonjcp yep of course [10:32] :) [10:33] unlink, if you chose quit for the file menu it will ask you [10:33] archman_: try apt-cache search xfce and look for reasonable-sounding names [10:33] gordonjcp would apt-get install gnome-desktop be right? [10:33] Fudge: think 8.10 is on 2.24 anyway [10:34] gordonjcp isnt 2.6 updated since 2.24? [10:34] UsamaAkkad: No, it doesn't. [10:34] Fudge: 2.6 is ancient [10:35] gordonjcp, xfwm4 - window manager of the Xfce project ? [10:35] i dont undesrtand gordonjcp, when was 2.6 released then and what is the latest gnome desktop [10:35] Fudge: the version numbers aren't "two decimal six" or "two decimal two six" but "two dot six" or "two dot twenty-six" [10:35] Fudge, latest gnome is 2.26 [10:35] Fudge: latest gnome desktop is 2.26, ubuntu comes with 2.24 [10:35] ah gordonjcp i see, thankyou [10:36] Fudge: I don't remember when 2.6 came out, it was at least five years ago [10:36] thankyou mate [10:36] gordonjcp i meant 2.26 then :) [10:36] when I chose quit from file menu it asks me if I want to save the session which some times I don't get it by clicking close button at the upper left corner [10:37] id read it wrong [10:37] Fudge: anyway check the changelog for the differences between 2.24 and 2.26, it's probably more bother than it's worth === adam_ is now known as Guest41114 [10:37] dose any body know much about vbox? [10:37] Fudge: apparently the biggie is that they use Brasero for burning CDs instead of Gnome CD-Burner - but that's already the case in Ubuntu anyway [10:37] gordonjcp, then? === Mr is now known as Guest43762 [10:38] archman_: then what? [10:38] 11:36 < archman_> gordonjcp, xfwm4 - window manager of the Xfce project ? === _mcstinky is now known as mcstinky === vito is now known as Guest7154 [10:40] archman_: try 'xfce4' [10:40] !info xfce4 [10:40] xfce4 (source: xfce4): Meta-package for the Xfce Lightweight Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional.

[13:38] MrDusty: "pppoeconf" is the CLI packges used for PPPoE. dunno about oA. [13:39] napzter: svn up [13:39] hi Guys,,,,,, help..... I want to update my metasploit ? how can i update my metasploit in Terminal? what commands shoul i used? please pm me [13:39] oCean_: oh ok :9 [13:39] howdy all....I have a data hd that is ntfs, can I hook it up to ubuntu 8.10?

[13:40] mneptok, I am not asking that. PPP is configured, how do i manually connect rather than using the GUI? [13:40] napzter: goto metasploit folder and say "svn up" .. thats it. [13:40] MrDusty: like i said, pppoeconf is the CLI package for PPPoE.

[13:42] oCean_: no external drive just has my data. [13:42] cool [13:42] halfie: it should not throw a prompt at you, even if config is wrong [13:43] hi, how should I swap caps/ctrl in ubuntu 8.10? [13:43] halfie: You know how to use fstab file? [13:43] oCean_: but since mount fails for external drive I get maintenance prompt. any way to automatically mount my USB drives at boot? .. if they aren't there then don't try to mount [13:43] i thought the linux <--> ntfs data usage was "iffy" at best because MS wasn't letting anyone know how they did things. So that has changed now? [13:43] update-manager removed swapcaps from my xorg.conf [13:43] hey! I have a Firewire Expresscard, but no idea how to mount it, could anybody give me a pointer on how to proceed after plugging it in? [13:43] oCean_: yep .. [13:43] maio: you can use system -> preferences -> keybord [13:43] bin1010: ntfs-3g over fuse have been rock solid for many people for a few years now [13:44] jrib: I'm not using gnome [13:44] oCean_: for the time being I have done "noauto" and then mount it manually after the system boots :( [13:44] maio: continue... [13:44] I want it system/Xorg wide [13:44] halfie: ok. And when there's no "noauto", then it fails to boot? Strange [13:44] maio: anyway, you can use xmodmap [13:45] oCean: actually at boot USB scanning is delayed .. due to which mount fails .. [13:45] Hi there [13:45] halfie: ah, I get it. So the actual question is, howto "mount if disk is there" :) [13:46] oCean_: yes yes :-) ... [13:46] hi, i've sucessfully set up an pxe boot server on ubuntu but i can't figure out how i get windows to pxe boot. Does anyone know of a guide or something please? Google only leads to to half made attempts :/ [13:46] maio: though I'm not sure you can't use it in Xorg like you used to as well if you want. Did you try?

[13:49] kalidar: I answered you [13:49] kalidar, read the links [13:49] oCean: roger that. I am thinking of writing a custom script (inside rc.local). [13:49] ok sure [13:49] 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 name [13:49] I only have the one shared directory, so I want to take out that extra double click [13:49] ...if any of that makes sense xD [13:50] b [13:50] last 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] ao [13:50] bin1010: use ext3 .. and then on windows use ext2fsd utility ... [13:50] halfie: actually, I think hald should be able somehow.

I will look into hal right now.. [13:52] i forgot to mention, this drive is a usb external drive [13:52] bin1010: same answer :) [13:52] thanks halfie [13:52] zeltak2: just ask, but #bash is probably a better forum depending on what you are doing [13:53] thx jrib..i dont know much about bash and its really simple so i assume #bash is overkill but ill try [13:53] anyway one scirpt is to find all video files in a certain dir and move them to a single dir [13:53] After 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] bin1010: movies -> large data. ntfs-3g is slow (fuse). so if you do most of the work on linux, using ext3 makes sense [13:53] Anyone know how to make a single SMB share the default directory when you \\Ubuntuserver [13:53] instead of having to \\ubuntuserver and then \sharename [13:54] Subdolus: AFAIK even windows doesn't do it! .. [13:54] hi, i'm new to this. so please advise if i'm doing something wrong. I wanted to know whether it's possible to set different wallpapers for each workspace?

[14:11] nithin1, 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.

[14:37] download the driver and firmware from http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html [14:37] ActionParsnip, Interface doesn't support scanning. for every card [14:37] and follow the instructions [14:38] sonia_: ok, use the guide in the post i gave you === edg is now known as Guest6714 [14:38] ActionParsnip, reading [14:39] sonia_: try download the driver and firmware from http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html [14:40] Recapitulation, how can i change the font size in the CLI of the gparted livecd? [14:41] natrixnatrix89, ok [14:41] Searched Oracle site and cannot find how to download Oracle for free, anyone have any other options for downloading Oracle? [14:41] hello [14:41] I have a fan problem too I think [14:41] annooying [14:41] everytime I touvh the key bord it makes noise and disappears [14:41] all day long [14:42] :( [14:42] hi there [14:42] I am new to ubuntu, I just got a disc 3 days ago. [14:42] when 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 where [14:43] I need to edit this video, but it keeps getting the audio cut off at the ed [14:43] end [14:43] cardona507, you will not regret any effort you decide to explore ubuntu's infinite possibilities (newbee myself) [14:44] Solvanora:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Patches?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=live+cd+updates&titlesearch=Titles this should help you [14:44] silv3r_m00n: that will be defined in the makefile but the files will be copied where they need to be including a binary in /usr/bin [14:44] Does anyone know where to download a free version of Oracle? [14:44] hej poklikacie? [14:44] silv3r_m00n: so you can simply execute the app as normal [14:44] so 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] !ot | fotis [14:44] fotis: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [14:45] !ot | fotis [14:45] silv3r_m00n: you could make a deb from the compiled files to ease uninstallation [14:45] Thanks, sorry! [14:45] ActionParsnip: 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 go [14:45] fotis: in the add remove programs [14:45] !dongs [14:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about dongs [14:46] silv3r_m00n: thats handled by: sudo make install [14:46] cardona507, 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) [14:47] make install ... so what exactly does make install do [14:47] silv3r_m00n: the makefile will say where the files go [14:47] hmm [14:47] Hello. 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] so the makefile has a record of all files that shall be created ? [14:47] Solvanora, no doubt... [14:47] silv3r_m00n: if you run the command too, you will see cp commands [14:47] silv3r_m00n: yep, its all in there === _wintermute_ is now known as wintermute2012 [14:47] ActionParsnip: the make process consist of compiles and builds and links and create executables right ? [14:48] marechal: lmao I don't know but it sounds funny [14:48] oh wow never used pidgin for irc before O_O [14:48] silv3r_m00n: the make process combines librarys with source code and the options in the configure file to make a binary [14:48] HammerHead66: It's not funny but incredibly annoying [14:48] ActionParsnip: apart from binary what other kind of files can make create [14:49] wintermute2012: how do you like using it pidgin? [14:49] silv3r_m00n: dll files, library files (like .so) [14:49] cardona507, 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 can [14:49] eh its not bad im used to xchat though [14:49] ActionParsnip: tell me 1 thing... there are many dev packs I installed from synaptic but I see that most of them copy .h files mostly [14:49] wintermute2012: there are tonnes of irc clients [14:50] .h files have the function declaration where are the functiond definitions [14:50] function* [14:50] there shud be something like a .a or .lib file [14:50] ActionParsnip: i know this ive been on irc since 93 :) [14:50] silv3r_m00n: yes as those are used to use the functionality of the library [14:50] marechal: I wasn't trying to make fun at you it is just a funny thing. It's really a bad problem tho === joris__ is now known as linkje [14:50] ActionParsnip: 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] ActionParsnip, problem solved thx [14:50] make [14:51] wintermute2012: i use pidgin for irc as i use nearly all its protocols so a seperate client just for irc is none sensical to me [14:51] sonia_: np [14:51] ActionParsnip, it's a debian âckage though [14:51] no probleem with ubuntu updates [14:51] ? [14:51] well i dont know how it is for admin or opping or ircopping [14:51] sonia_: if it works i wouldnt question it [14:51] i guess its alright for general use [14:51] sonia_: if theres a package for ubuntu some place, i'd use that and repeat the process [14:52] ActionParsnip, ok [14:52] wintermute2012: depends on your needs [14:52] HammerHead66, that link doesnt come up with any results? [14:52] hallo [14:52] hello [14:52] ActionParsnip: what tool can I use to make deb packages ? [14:53] HammerHead66: 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] wintermute2012: it's great when you have a lot of accounts with diffrent providers [14:53] ActionParsnip, thx again bye [14:53] can different partitioning layouts have an effect on disk access ? [14:54] Recapitulation: how can i change the font size in the CLI of the gparted livecd? [14:54] marechal: thanks for the info man I'll try to help the next guys when they have the same problem [14:54] silv3r_m00n: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=92016 [14:54] HammerHead66; No problem :-) [14:54] newmember: absolutely [14:55] newmember: how the data is laid on the drives can affect how it is read [14:55] Suggestions? I have 4x1000G drives SATA 7500rpm [14:55] I am finding that the read speed is very slow [14:55] newmember: you could delve into hdparm [14:55] <_Whipper> newmember: bigger fuse ?-) [14:55] newmember: or use raid [14:56] newmember: how is it set-up in terms of hardware? [14:56] Quadcore CPU [14:56] newmember: how much ram, what speed and type cpu? [14:56] 8Gig RAM [14:56] hm, has anyone tried quakelive through wine yet? [14:56] 2.4Ghz CPU [14:56] newmember: and what config are the drives in? [14:57] newmember: the hard drive to the motherboard [14:57] which is better: 256 mb ram PC133 or 320 mb ram (made up of pc133 and pc100 sticks)??? [14:57] ActionParsnip: how can I look that up? [14:57] anyone 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] newmember: you set it up, if you are using raid, you will have configured it [14:57] Dante123: is this a history lesson? Thats some old ram. [14:57] newmember: have you tried mounting it with noatime? [14:57] Anyone ever see: Kernel: [ 4.566552] /build/buildd/linux-2.6.27/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c: couldn't find an input interrupt endpoint [14:58] Dante123: 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 100 [14:58] Gigabyte motheboard EP43-UD3L [14:58] newmember: go to add/remove programs and add Sysinfo it will tell you everything about your hardware [14:58] Jeruvy (friends old computer- kids use it and I am installing xubuntu) [14:58] ActionParsnip board is 133 mhz [14:58] I 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] sorry no X on this computer, its all CLI [14:59] how can i change the font size in the CLI of the gparted livecd? [14:59] <_Whipper> Laeborg: not so unexpected.. [14:59] O ok [14:59] mhall119: no [14:59] Dante123: 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 gnome [14:59] _Whipper: What can I do about it ? [14:59] Dante123: 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] newmember: using noatime can sometimes speed up reads, because it's not also trying to write access time to the metadata [14:59] Solvanora: which version of the live-cd are you using? [15:00] <_Whipper> Laeborg: just wait.. the boot takes a bit longer.. in my case anyway.. [15:00] newmember: is the HD hooked up by SATA cable or the other one? [15:00] mhall119: ah [15:00] SATA cable [15:00] <_Whipper> Laeborg: or just do what i do, plug it after grub has started his thing :) [15:00] I can wait and wait and wait nothing happens, before I've unplug the bluetooth adaptor and plug it in again. [15:00] in the one slot for it [15:01] hi. 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] kc8pxy 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] newmember: in the one slot for it? [15:01] I noticed when I was moving files today to another computer, the slow one maxed DSK access and the faster one was running at 20% [15:02] Dante123: you don't happen to be close to a freegeek, do you? [15:02] newmember: if you want more speed from your drives i'd suggest raid of some kind [15:02] There are 6 slots for SATA cables connections [15:02] I am usign 4 of them [15:02] user____, 0.4.3-2, its the latest stable [15:02] the hell. altgr shows as iso_level3_shift on the laptop i have where altgr works too. this is strange [15:02] ActionParsnip: I think thats a good idea, is software RAID anygood? [15:02] Solvanora: ok, thanks [15:03] ActionParsnip: or should I go HArdware RAID [15:03] newmember: I am unsure then man. sorry I couldn't help out [15:03] newmember: i dont rate it myself but it wiill give you extra speed [15:03] Dante123: did you try Qimo? [15:04] I thought if I had created LVM between two drives that would have sped things up, but it does not seem to be that way [15:04] hi is there a way to install the reportsplugin for kexi? === joerlend_ is now known as XiXaQ [15:05] I'm trying to setup internet using a bluetooth connection to my phone. Using USB, it's extremely easy to setup the connection, but using bluetooth seems more difficult. I've been searching the net, but all guides are for older versions of Ubuntu. Can someone help me with this? [15:05] Hi would anyone be able to help me to mount my windows shares? [15:05] what it the most skinnable media player for ubuntu? [15:06] knutlinux: maybe you can have a look at songbird (i believe that is the name) [15:06] phanter i want to mae skin myself.. [15:06] Slonkie: network shares? [15:06] kc8pxy I is one! [15:06] Slonkie: your ubuntu does't seem them automagically? === Roozbeh|Away is now known as RoozbehOnline [15:06] knutlinux: xmms I think [15:07] Dante123: which freegeek are you with? [15:07] Can xubuntu installed from scratch use kde and gnome apps? [15:07] archman: both [15:07] archman: yes, it will just install the KDE and Gnome libs that are needed by the apps [15:07] how do I downgrade libpcre3 so I can install libpcre3-dev? i'm in Kubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) when I try to force a version (previous one) to libpcre3 it wants to remove a bunch of shit. how can I install libprce3-dev!? [15:07] yes mhall119 , network shares [15:07] mhall119 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. [15:08] Slonkie: have you installed Samba? [15:08] yes [15:08] but i've got no clue how to use it [15:08] Dante123: you're a part of freegeek? [15:08] HammerHead66, mhall119, without some tons of "unneded" apps for it's "dependencies"? [15:08] I have problems opening a windows share (shared via Samba on a Debian machine). The client uses ubuntu 8.10. I get no error, but when entering my username/password, the same username/password dialogue shows again. [15:08] kc8pxy Actually, I have no idea what you are talking about. I'm just a geek. What is a freegeek? [15:08] has anyone figured out a decent upnp server in linux? Fuppes seems to be the best non-pay solution, but it's still a bit quirky. Twonky is great but unfortunately it's a paid app [15:08] archman: you'll get libs, but not other apps [15:08] Dante123: :):) can you youtube? [15:09] kc8pxy yeah [15:09] hang on... [15:09] archman: I'm not sure myself but I know you can do it [15:09] Dante123: /msg ok? [15:09] mhall119, cool! Thinking about reinstalling xubuntu from scratch...using gnome at the moment [15:09] Dante123: freegeek is an organization that recycles old computers by putting Linux on them and giving them back out in their communities [15:09] thanks have a good day all [15:10] HeliOS does the same, as does my organization QuinnCo [15:10] mhall119, also: using alternate install will prevent from installing apps that I don't want? [15:10] archman: no, alternate install just uses the text based debian installer instead of Ubiquity [15:10] 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 things [15:10] mhall119, 'cause Desktop cd installs tons of crap with it... [15:10] you'll get the same apps either way [15:10] how do we dock evolution to system tray? [15:11] mhall119, oh! :(, ok [15:11] mitesh: you don't [15:11] mhall119: you've been to one? that description, while accurate, doesn't sound adequate :-( [15:11] Solvanora: ok, booting iso, lets meet in #gparted [15:11] kc8pxy: no, that's just my understanding of freegeek [15:11] mhall119, dont? what do u mean? [15:11] mitesh: use alltray [15:11] unfortunately I haven't found a chapter in my area [15:11] mhall119, can I remove Gnome? [15:11] Solvanora: whats the channel of #gparted? [15:11] mitesh: why do you want evolution in the systrar? [15:11] archman: yes [15:11] i have a usb card reader plugged in that i'm currently reading a sandisk card from, i just plugged a digital camera in and im trying to view its contents, but when i open the camera folder that it brings up on the desktop, its showing me the same contents as whats on the sandisk card in the card reader? anyone know whats going on here? [15:12] mhall119: you can use alltray to dock ANY app (except terminal) [15:12] archman: I use Gnome it works great for me but that is my choice. [15:12] user____, its on irc.gnome.org #gparted [15:12] ActionParsnip: thanks, didn't know that [15:12] HammerHead66 cool ;) [15:12] personally, I have enough icons in my systray already [15:12] mhall119, place is occupied by it in taskbar [15:12] mhall119: would you happen to know much about using pxe to install from a livecd over the network, using nfs for the cd? [15:12] mhall119: its really good for thunderbird so it stays running but doesnt clutter the app list tray [15:12] kc8pxy: no, I haven't used pxe in years, and I've forgotten just about everything [15:13] mitesh: just close it [15:13] mhall119: :-( [15:13] kc8pxy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot [15:13] mhall119: about freegeek, thought of founding one? [15:13] mhall119, how much space on disk occupies gnome DM, and is there any use do uninstall it? [15:13] unlike Thunderbird, evolution doesn't need to be running to work [15:13] kc8pxy: I have a similar charity already founded: www.quinncoincorporated.org [15:13] everything was running smoothly but at some point during implementing ssl ubuntu 8.04 has stopped letting me shut down mysql. it's running ok but /etc/init.d/mysql stop gets me an error. I have the same my.cnf file running on debian and that works fine [15:14] mhall119, evolution closes [15:14] anyone any ideas where to start? syslog gives me nothing [15:14] CarlFK: i have it "working", i got through partitioning, and most of the install through ubiquity, but when it comes to "scanning the cdrom", it hung. there IS not CDrom in a network install. [15:14] mitesh: sudo apt-get install alltray; alltray evolution & [15:14] kc8pxy: did you export the files or the .iso"? [15:14] mitesh: there is evolution-data-server that is always running, even when evolution itself is closed, that's all you need [15:15] mhall119: well something has to run for it otherwise there would be nothing connecting to whatever it uses to work [15:15] CarlFK: the files, into the nfs root. [15:15] mhall119, but i am not notified of new mails :( [15:15] ActionParsnip: evolution-data-server [15:15] Daemon_Byte: check the mysql error log, look in my.cnf if you are not sure where it's located [15:15] mhall119: ahhh, data-server [15:15] mitesh: apt-get install mail-notification [15:15] ActionParsnip, how to remove Gnome WM? And is there really any use uninstalling it? Or better leave it installed. [15:15] kc8pxy: sounds like you didn't use the network linux/initrd [15:15] it'll sit in the systray and notify you of new email [15:15] !purekde | archman [15:15] archman: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [15:15] archman: Gnome is more than just a WM [15:16] heey [15:16] mhall119, yeah, that's what I thought... [15:16] mhall119, but ubuntu already has a indicator applet? [15:16] mhall119: gnome is a DE, metacity is the WM ;) [15:16] mhall119, guess it has many apps corresponding to it and thuss the depencencies... [15:17] mitesh: evolution has one, but it has to be running to work [15:17] archman: you could just install a different WM and leave the system as is [15:17] mail-notification doesn't need evolution running [15:17] I have a problem with wubi === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [15:17] Jeruvy: you mean the setting in my.cnf called log? I have that turned off as it said it was a performance killer. If I turn it on and reboot the server will it be likely to tell me the cause? [15:17] how can i end my ping process? [15:17] CarlFK: i had to alt-enter past the squashfs hang. [15:17] its not stopping [15:17] :D [15:17] tqlmctrl + c [15:17] tq|Memphis: ctrl-C [15:17] ActionParsnip; actually done that today, testing xfce, it's great :) [15:17] kwin and metacity are the non-composite window managers for KDE and GNOME, respectively. Compiz is the compositing WM for both KDE and GNOME. [15:18] archman: i like lxde myself [15:18] mhall119, ty [15:18] Olá pessoal [15:18] tem algum brasileiro aqui?

Obrigado.

I want to test it? [15:20] Jeruvy: I thought mysql errors went to the syslog file. That's where the ssl and replication errors went [15:20] archman: sudo apt-get install lxde [15:20] Daemon_Byte: by default it should, yes. [15:20] ActionParsnip; thanks!

[15:30] WebGuest1, does it lock-up when not browsing a webpage? e.g. can you use all the menus/options? [15:30] theirs 2 of the same load options and 2 of the same recovery opetions [15:30] theirs no difference in the code [15:30] im trying to restore my ubuntu installed grub but all i have is a sabayon live cd,how would i do this? [15:30] HammerHead66, ooh, no. this is my first ever attempt at installing ubuntu (linux even). i'll have to check the website for etails as to how. [15:30] kalidar: are you changing it in GUI? [15:31] LogicFan, yes. it locks up only when browsing [15:31] I've downloaded md5sum.exe what do i have to do now? [15:31] no iim just editing the menu.list in the grub [15:31] WebGuest1, did you try reinstalling yet? [15:31] kalidar: ok I don't know how then sorry [15:32] LogicFan, yes. a couple of times. i'm thinking of giving hardy heron a go. maybe it's just under intrepid... [15:32] 64bit? [15:32] LogicFan, no, not 64bit [15:32] WebGuest1, if the rest of the OS is working well, its probably not ubuntu [15:32] LogicFan, i'm using an old athlon [15:33] WebGuest1: using flash?

[15:36] just to test if its profile related [15:36] ActionParsnip, I'll explore a bit [15:36] WebGuest1: did you run update manager more than once? If not try to run it again and see if it helps [15:36] im trying to restore my ubuntu installed grub but all i have is a sabayon live cd,how would i do this?

[15:47] i've just burnt my first data dvd with brasero and i get an error at the end/after the burn process has completed, don't think this affects the data on the dvd, but i don't like it. i found out that the error is a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/brasero/+bug/294455 / http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562740 and it should have been fixed, but the repos are not updated with the latest version of brasero yet, so i can't apt-get the la [15:48] thank you alanbshepard70 it worked! [15:48] HammerHead66: like I said, it doesn't make sense to me... but thanks for the info [15:48] How can I force aptitude (or apt-get) to always install all the development packages of the packages I have automatically?

[15:53] kristian2: Yes [15:53] anyone 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 reboot [15:54] kristian2: 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.

[15:55] HammerHead66: 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 :\ [15:56] isnt there a way to just upgrade it by a command or something? hammerhead66 [15:56] kristian2: 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.

[16:15] vlad50: installing soemthing to your linux partition can't affect your boot sector or partition table unless something went horribly wrong :) hmmmm [16:15] Can anyone help? I'm running ubuntu server and I've installed the partimage-server package. Everything works when I run it manually, but I'd like to have it automatically run on startup. I can find how-to's for running on startup for gnome, but with ubuntu server there's no gnome.. Does anyone know how to auto-run a program with the command-line-only Ubuntu Server? [16:16] Could someone help me install libtorrent and rtorrent on ubuntu server 8.10? I'm getting errors on "make" [16:16] AndyML: Segmentation fault is software related if I'm not mistaken. Did you just recently try to upgrade to Jaunty? [16:16] there is no linux partition, the ubuntu disc gave me the option of installing along windows on the same partition [16:16] Hello everyone. I have a Dell inspiron notebook with an ATI radeon integrated graphics card and I'm trying to use an external monitor. The monitor can handle up to a 1600 x 1050 (I think) resolution, but the option only has up to 1280 x 800. Can anyone help me? [16:17] alanbshepard70: AndyML: segmentation fault means the program tried to access memory that it's not supposed to [16:17] alanbshepard70: http://pastie.org/423504 - here is the output of dpkg --configure -a. No, it is a fresh install of xubuntu 8.04 that i tried to run apt-get upgrade on. [16:17] vlad50: I had kinda the same problem but once I ran the live cd and it fixed it. try to change setup for your video card it should fix it [16:17] vlad50: i feel ya. i still use winblowz for programs that dont work with wine [16:17] alanbshepard70 : i have looked, can't find it, but i have found out that the same bug braero have k3b has. bah! :-/ [16:17] alanbshepard70: but what gets me is that it did the same thing after an upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 desktop too [16:17] HammerHead66: how can that mess up both windows and linux boot? === aksjhda is now known as F5 [16:18] HammerHead66: that would seem to make sense ONLY if the linux screen was black. shouldn't affect his windows boot [16:18] Before, excuse my poor english. So, next to a 9.04 (same trouble with 8.10) alternate install on my FakeRaid-0 configuration, i'm stoped in initramfs with : "ALERT! /dev/mapper/nvidia_myraidid1 does not exit". A "dmraid -ay" displays only the root of my RAID, and i cannot see my partitions (nvidia_xxxxxx1, nvidia_xxxxxx2, etc....) with ls /dev/mapper/ [16:18] kristian2: Yea I figured that would happen, sorry. [16:18] AndyML: upgrade and not dist-upgrade? Just double checking. [16:18] because when it starts up is runs the linux first to see what you want to start your just missing the screen because Linux is messed up [16:18] yes - upgrade. not dist-upgrade [16:19] So... if i use ssh will i be able to make my laptop suitable for gaming? [16:19] *start your OS [16:19] I'm building a program that makes use of mountlo, but was never really sure what "mount -o loop" does. Isn't it just mounting a (image) file rw into a directory? [16:19] HammerHead66: he said that he already picked windows at that point [16:19] What is the proper command to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04? === deathray is now known as Deathray [16:19] !jaunty > Deathray (Deathray, see the private message from ubottu) [16:19] I'm having trouble getting the proper resolution on my laptop, can anyone help me? [16:20] * On an external display [16:20] HammerHead66: i think you're talking about the grub menu. grub does NOT boot linux first to "get some screen" [16:20] Thank you LjL [16:20] I know it's just strange like that. [16:20] alanbshepard70: sorry - forgot to include your nick - yes - upgrade. not dist-upgrade [16:20] I don't know what does it but I have seen it [16:21] ok heres a question that i need to know the answer to. Is there a k7 smp kernel for 8.10 [16:22] the "generic" kernel should enable SMP, no? === coz is now known as Guest22692 [16:22] k7 smp [16:22] for amd cpu [16:22] yes i read that part Chaoman60, are you saying it doesn't work? [16:23] AndyML: Sorry but I'm tapped out, this seems to be a fairly recent bug to surface. Google shows a few people reporting the issue within the past two months but no solutions yet from what I can tell. If I can come up with something I'll let you know. [16:23] i'm asking if there is one better for the job than generic [16:23] much obliged alanbshepard70 [16:24] If anyone would like to help me with my lib/rtorrent installation problem I made a thread here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1103125 , it seems pretty overflowed here so I guess it's easier to get help on the forums. === andyh2 is now known as andyh2|away [16:24] guys, can anyone tell me the channel in freenode to do general chat? [16:24] i'm simply asking if you get both processors show up from "cat /proc/cpuinfo" with the generic kernel Chaoman60 === TuTUXG is now known as tUtuxg [16:24] #ubuntu-offtopic is good agro1986 [16:24] !off-topic [16:24] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [16:24] agro1986: #defocus also exists [16:24] i have a few issues i need to address 1) when i plug a nokia 5610 in and set to datastorage it pops up an error about not mounting properly but continues to mount. i can delete from it but cannot copy anything to it nor move anything around on it [16:24] AndyML: Anytime. It seems to be an issue upstream debian is having as well so might try asking around [16:24] ah thanks all [16:24] can anyone tell me the best torrent client for ubuntu? [16:25] Does anyone know if there are mobos that Ubuntu won't work on? I'm looking at Intel DP45SG... [16:25] cristi_, the default one [16:25] agro1986: what's wrong the the packages in the repos? [16:25] 2) monitor shuts off after a while during full screen games like nexuis and saubertan, even though i am using the mouse and keyboard [16:25] yep both [16:25] wcistri_: imo, deluge [16:25] alanbshepard70 : 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 dv [16:25] the default one start downloading very slowly [16:25] cristi_ The a built in one has always worked well for me [16:25] 3) firefox tends to become unresponsive after opening only 5 tabs [16:26] cristi_: I prefer deluge to transmission, it has a few more features, better ui (in my opinion) and lets you select compact allocation or choose files to not download. [16:26] agro1986: oops, please ignore that [16:26] alexlaban: why not install from package? [16:26] cristi_, its not the client who did this [16:26] vistri_: however, deluge will not solve speed problems. That will either be your router settings or that the torrent is just slow [16:26] check the number of sources [16:26] deluge says that ''not enough disk space when i start it and i have 40 gb free [16:26] should be fine then Chaoman60 , there aren't really any other options i see in the official repos [16:27] and increase your upload speed cristi_ [16:27] cristi_ are you using ext4? [16:27] no [16:27] est3 [16:27] ext3 [16:27] @Jeruvy: Someone told me that the package uses and old version so it were best to do it this way [16:27] you have to upload to get better download [16:27] oh because i was told to look for a k7 smp kernel to speed my machine up [16:27] vistri_: speed problems could also mean that you are uploading at your max and that will affect all download === andyh2|away is now known as andyh2 [16:28] jase_, he should upload 1 or 2 kb under his maz [16:28] what are the advantages of ext4 [16:28] max* [16:28] No nvidia_fakeraid killer to help me plz ? I've try all forum tips, and still no raid partition are seen next to the reboot after install. :( [16:28] cristi_: Check the preferences for download location and make sure it points to a dir with enough space. Also is the file bigger than 40GB? unless you select compact allocation and eventually free up some space you don't have the room [16:28] kristian2: Ask now if you want. [16:28] the file has 37 mb and i have enough space on both partitions [16:29] anyone know how to choose the runlvl ? [16:29] 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 xfs [16:29] alexlaban: 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] is jaunty any good? [16:29] sure [16:29] file system has 6 gb free and disk has 40 gb free and my hard drive capacity is 120 gb [16:29] i use it on my netbook [16:29] voice5sur5, actually with the majority of Internet connection types you have to run 50-75% of max upstream bandwidth to maintain maximum downstream [16:30] i stay about 10% under my max up [16:30] Jeruvy: So what do you think I should do? [16:30] jase_, why not just using xfs then? [16:30] Is it safe to assume that all major Linuxes have FUSE installed by default? [16:30] using wine is possible run ms office on ubuntu? [16:30] ms office sux use open [16:31] Chaoman60, why it sux? [16:31] Chaoman60, OpenOffice is a joke. [16:31] alexlaban: check to make sure all your dependancies are installed and support the version of the package you are building. I'd be asking the source maintainers directly. Also see if the error is known or not. [16:31] 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 protection [16:31] anyone know how to choose the runlvl ? [16:31] Paolo88: http://www.winehq.org/search?cx=partner-pub-0971840239976722%3Aw9sqbcsxtyf&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=UTF-8&q=office#823 [16:31] !runlevel [16:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevel [16:32] ms office has tons of holes and tons of bugs. Open Office is available for linux as opposed to crashing wine [16:32] Can anyone lead me through getting samba set up so that a windows machine can use my linux printer? (the two computers are not on the same network) === nic_ is now known as nic401 [16:32] voice5sur5, you can edit your GRUB boot lines and add "init x" [16:32] to choose runlevel [16:32] alexlaban: of course you can ask here also :) But I'd use an older version just to avoid building unless there is some critical must-have function missing. [16:32] hello what is a kernel? [16:32] ... [16:32] come on, they cannot put in Normal view for 8 years [16:33] i like abiword. open office is a resource hog [16:33] lag? [16:33] daftykins, i did but no effect dud [16:33] there's not Outline view [16:33] zomg i r lagging [16:33] Jeruvy: What version should I get? [16:33] alanbshepard70: tanks [16:33] daftykins, it boot in 2 like normal boot [16:33] ? [16:33] Paolo88: Welcome.

[16:35] dont have any on my machine rite now [16:35] militant: try unetbootin [16:35] 'fraid not, not tried runlevels myself with ubuntu [16:35] voice5sur5: This help at all http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-201130.html [16:35] alexlaban: well I can't say you didn't. If you like, try removing all the packages and repeat the build from the how-to. Sometimes a typo can cause all kinds of grief. I'm not familiar with building this (or related) packages myself. [16:35] is there a way to output the entire contents of a file AFTER a certain point. like | grep or something but will print not just the line containing the text but everything after it as well? [16:35] alanbshepard70 : if i burn a dvd with a file with more than 64 characters will windows not be able to view it? because when i add a 64+ character file, the option "make compatiable with windows system" goes away, and if i try to click it, then it asks for the file to be renamed, which i dont want to do. :-/ [16:36] perillux: you can use sed to do that === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [16:36] jrib: thanks [16:36] alanbshepard70, there is no /etc/inittab in my filesystem [16:37] jase_, kk [16:37] kristian2: It's been quite some time since I've used Windows but if I remember right unless you rename the file that file will NOT be avaible under windows and possibly the whole disc. [16:37] voice5sur5: why do you want to choose the runlevel? [16:37] I'm trying to get an external monitor to display it's full resolution when hooked up to my laptop. Can anyone help me? [16:37] jrib, so i can have two different run lvl [16:38] I know it seems like a trivial problem, but I can't find any solutions on the forums or through google searches that match my situation [16:38] voice5sur5: so you want to know how to modify what services start on a runlevel? [16:38] jrib, if i want to boot up fast to see something and then shutdown i dont have to start all services [16:38] jrib, no [16:38] jrib, sysv-conf [16:38] Garth, is your laptop wide screen? [16:38] jrib, i want to know how to switch from different levels [16:38] No it's not, just a 15'' [16:38] The monitor is 22'' [16:39] GarthMarenghi: probably because not a lot of people have tried it === edgex-_ is now known as edgex [16:39] voice5sur5: telinit as always [16:39] Hey, Ubuntus :) Please have mercy with a noob that just bought a 'naked' eMachines el1200 and want to install Ubuntu on it, but ONLY knows how to do so from within Windoze. HOW do I install from the CLI ?? [16:39] salve [16:39] voice5sur5: if you actually want to change the default, check the upstart docs. Most likely you need to modify something in /etc/event.d/ [16:39] kematzy: yuo could use wubi [16:39] !upstart | voice5sur5 [16:39] voice5sur5: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [16:39] kematzy, what do you mean install from within Windows or from CLI? [16:39] it is a very interesting problem... [16:40] just boot the CD? :P [16:40] kematzy: it'll install ubuntu as a windows app. i think its pretty god awful personally [16:40] alanbshepard70 : ok thanks for the info. im not using windows anymore, but the problem is that everyone else uses it. :-P anyways, i dont want to rename my files over 64 char. ;-) thanks for your help! :-) [16:40] Next to a 9.04 (same trouble with 8.10) alternate install on my FakeRaid-0 configuration, i'm stoped in initramfs with : "ALERT! /dev/mapper/nvidia_myraidid1 does not exit". A "dmraid -ay" displays only the root of my RAID, and i cannot see my partitions (nvidia_xxxxxx1, nvidia_xxxxxx2, etc....) with ls /dev/mapper/ [16:40] kematzy: you could resize the ntfs using the livecd to make room for a dual boot [16:40] daftykins: I only installed ubuntu on a Win XP pc, never on an empty (no windoze at all) PC, === d is now known as Guest5751 [16:40] Can anyone lead me through getting SAMBA set up so that a windows machine can use my linux printer? (the two computers are not on the same network) [16:40] GarthMarenghi: Do you know if restricted Nvidia drivers are in use on your laptop? I had a similar issue and needed to run sudo nvidia-settings [16:41] voice5sur5: change your grub menu to put the runlevel number on the end [16:41] you know there's virtually no difference kematzy ? just boot the CD and run install once it's started [16:41] !samba | Stepan1 [16:41] Stepan1: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[16:41] voice5sur5: then you can pick which you want to boot into [16:41] mister_roboto, it doen't work [16:41] ActionParsnip: I don't have any windows [16:41] kematzy: then boot to a live cd and install [16:41] voice5sur5: doesn't work in what sense? i've done it before [16:41] mister_roboto, puting just the number don't do anything [16:41] alanbshepard70: No, my computer uses an integrated ATI radeon graphics card. I can't find the settings through catalyst control center [16:41] voice5sur5: actually, it does [16:41] mister_roboto, your just boot on mode 2 [16:41] daftykins: I put in CD, restart, but nothing happens. goes into linpus screen no ubuntu booting [16:42] i ll retry again [16:42] ActionParsnip: tried that with LIVE CD, but not working. hence asking ;) [16:42] kematzy: go into BIOS and have it boot from cd first [16:42] kematzy, is this "eMachines" a desktop or laptop? [16:42] kristian2: If it's just a matter of not manually wanting to rename multiple files there are ways around that. Are the files buried in several folders? if you pull the buried folders to the root directory that will "shorten" the filenames (by reducing the path length). [16:42] kematzy: did you md5 check the iso as well as verify the cd was ok once burned and booted to? === Teisei is now known as budget === budget is now known as Teisei [16:43] HammerHead66: pardon stupidity, been in Mac world all my life, so BIOS is greek to me ;) [16:43] When starting ubuntu, neither mouse nor keyboard input work on gnome login window. After restarting dbus (/etc/init.d/dbus restart) on another terminal, it does work again without problems. What do I have to do, so it will work after restart again automatically? [16:43] daftykins: desktop el1200 bought in Malaysia [16:44] Kissaki: you could add the command (in a script) to the last rc level [16:44] kematzy: when the pc is starting up hit the Delete button on keyboard til it shows you opions [16:44] yeah so hit delete or F2 or F12 or some key to enter BIOS on power on kematzy and find the boot order page, then set it so #1 is CD and #2 is HDD [16:44] converting a law office from XP to Unbuntu and just bought new PC for the big BOSS, and he want's it tomorrow morning and it's past midnight over here :( [16:44] ActionParsnip: could it be a configuration problem or sth? [16:44] Kissaki: is it started at the first place?. i.e. could you reboot and do /etc/init.d/dbus status and tell us..? [16:45] Kissaki: s/at/in [16:45] HammerHead66: daftykins thanks will try [16:45] kematzy: go to boot section, the look for cd start-up and make it on top of list [16:45] alanbshepard70 : the path/files should not be altered. so i should not rename dirs or files, and not change the structure. so i guess, windows users will just have to switch to linux. :-P anyways, nvm. ill just burn it even though its not comp with windows. :-) thanks though! :-) [16:45] damn, I did check that today... forgot if it was started ^^ But I think it was, that's what confused me [16:45] Kissaki: not sure, ive not had that one myself, but if the command makes things nice, add a script to run the command in your bootup and you'll be ok. its a bit hacky but if it does the job, i'd run with it [16:46] ActionParsnip: k, thx for the suggestion === k is now known as Guest56442 [16:46] kristian2: You're welcome. [16:46] hi [16:46] kematzy: you could press F11 as soon as your system powers on, you will then get a menu to chose the boot device [16:47] kematzy: or it may be F12 [16:47] alanbshepard70: Some of the solutions I found online for nvidia graphics cards involved modifying xorg.conf. I think I'm going to try messing around with that (after backing it up). If I come up with a solution I'll post it here [16:47] or F1, or F2 [16:47] or Delete [16:47] lol [16:47] i want to install ubunto on an external hard drive, is that possible? and can it be done from windows, ie without a ubuntu disc, because i dont have any blank discs right now? [16:47] I usually hit all the function keys and delete and insert [16:48] Ariana: Do you have any flash drives handy? [16:48] hi folks, building KERNEL with "--config TARGET" prompts me for explicitly giving answer to all kernel options! ??? ?? but i gave the process the config? why doesn't it look there? [16:48] !wubi | Ariana [16:48] Ariana: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [16:48] oh thats great thanks [16:48] and no garth, i only have my computer, and 1 external harddrive ii bought [16:49] Ariana: Yeah, after thinking about it a bit, I don't think a flash drive would help in this situation :-) [16:49] im not sure why i even bother coming to this channel. help others out here, but never seem to get anything resolved for myself :S [16:49] i've got paragon partition manager so i can set up all the linux partitions i need on the harddrive [16:49] can i ask?can i webcam with others computer/user using ubuntu? [16:49] !webcam [16:49] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [16:49] hello! [16:49] also, if it's a 30gb hd, what size would you recommend for the swap etc? 4gb ram... documentation said double your memory, but that seems like a bit much? [16:50] hi folks, building KERNEL with "--config TARGET" prompts me for explicitly giving answer to all kernel options! ??? ?? but i gave the process the config? why doesn't it look there? [16:50] ActionParsnip, i mean can i see my friend webcam from my laptop using ubuntu? [16:50] Ariana: Are you trying to dual boot from this external and your computer? [16:50] make your swap 2x ram unless you have 2gb+ of ram then set it to 1.5 of ram and dont go above 4gb swap [16:50] HammerHead66: daftykins THANKS A LOT !!! you saved my @ss !! Owe u big time!! :) Ubuntu installing ! [16:50] i 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? === j_ack_ is now known as j_ack [16:51] Ariana : check wether your 4gigs of ram are used, and then go to analyse how much ram you use at PEAK [16:51] well running windows i don't think i've ever used more than 2.5 [16:51] np kematzy :) [16:51] Ariana: 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] alanbshepard70 : 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] clarks: sure as long as your client supports viwing webcams [16:52] kematzy: no big deal just helping when I can [16:52] ActionParsnip, yeah my client support webcams..but i dont what program to use to see her/his webcam.. [16:52] ok so on a 30gb hdd, what size would you make the needed partitions for ubuntu, and in what order? root - swap - home? [16:52] ariana: consider the small drive and just chose 2-4 gig swap instead of 8 gig^^ [16:53] bella zio [16:53] Hello. [16:53] ariana, how much ram do you have [16:53] clarks: you are misunderstanding me [16:53] 4gb [16:53] clarks: the client you use is the program, it is a chat client [16:53] but other computers i want to use it with might have less [16:54] clarks: like MSN messenger is a chat CLIENT [16:54] set it to 4gb then [16:54] hello how can i destroy my windows cd? [16:54] ActionParsnip, ok2..pidgin can? [16:54] When I plug in an external HDD/USB-stick it gets automatically mounted. However, all file permissions are set to +rwx oO Is there any way to bypass this? [16:54] clarks: 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 using [16:55] clarks i dont think pidgin supports webcam currently and if it does its very experimental [16:55] cristi_: microwave it lol [16:55] good idea [16:55] jase_, so what in ubuntu can support webcam in client chat? [16:55] clarks: pidgin doesn't have webcam support. try amsn or kopete (kopete is a KDE app, however) [16:55] so if i have 6.5g ext3 then 4gb swap2 then 17.4gb ext3 is that right or? [16:56] HammerHead66: very good idea [16:56] clarks, kopete does [16:56] Ekiga supports webcam. [16:56] cristi_; you get a nice show too lol [16:56] i'm working with flex,yacc on ubuntu... by default, would it work with unicode tokens as well? [16:56] try amsn [16:56] jase_, how to get amsn in terminal? [16:56] XiXaQ: ekiga in intrepid is "old" and problems arise. jaunty is much better [16:57] clarks: try sudo aptitude install amsn [16:57] clarks if you goto amsn's site im sure they have excellent documentation for it [16:57] hello i use camorama for my webcam but the image is very dark do you know how to make it brighter? [16:57] wouldnt hurt to read. [16:57] clarks: sudo apt-get install amsn [16:57] lstarnes: are you familiar with apt urls? apt://amsn [16:57] XiXaQ: most people don't use apt:// urls [16:57] .,x [16:57] is it even possible to make ubuntu work off an external drive like that? [16:58] I was following this site http://layer8problem.blogspot.com/2008/10/howto-remote-desktop-to-xubuntu-710.html but when I got to vino-session it states command not found? === edgex is now known as EdgeX-[A] [16:58] woops. lstarnes; it's much better than copying and pasting commands to be run as root. [16:58] clarks: if you use pidgin it will allow you to use many at the same time on many diffrent accounst [16:58] ariana yes its possible to run ubuntu off a usb drive as an actual install [16:58] look up unetbootin [16:58] Can anyone help me with my soundcard? [16:58] HammerHead66, yeah i know.. [16:58] hello i want to make a voice call to a yahoo ID but i don`t such a program can you help me?

[17:13] HammerHead66: thats not my question. why do you need to run network tools just to ping? ping works fine from terminal [17:14] Formoden: yea its not an official port googe it. they have a source forge site. doesnt need install just a single file that you right click and give execute permision [17:14] how can i get the effects that beryl has and compiz-fusion not? [17:14] jase_ okay. [17:14] product: 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio Controller. That's what it says.

[17:33] Ariana: I like 64 bit myself [17:33] i mean will there be all the drivers on 64bit version, cause that stuff's quite new isnt it? [17:33] Ariana, try 64 bits [17:33] Ariana: for your case i suggest 32bit since you spoke about using different computers.. [17:34] well i dont think any of the computers would be that old tbh [17:34] maboughey:your card seems to be working well and the drivers are installed too.....guess u should check ifconfig and see if the wireless interfaces are up [17:34] shippo: are you defined user for vncserver [17:34] Padhu: not sure what that means [17:34] i mean is there a big drawback to using 32 over 64?

[17:38] i rendered the program unuseful [17:38] HammerHead66, what would that do? :) [17:38] MrKeuner: it should take you to GUI [17:38] arthur_: Also install "lame", since that's the mp3 encoder you can use in grip [17:38] HammerHead66, heh OK [17:38] okay I installed x11vnc and ran x11vnc -localhost -forever and from the other machine did sudo xvnc4viewer and when the pop box for the vnc server came up typed the ip address of this machine, now it states "unable to connect to host: Connection refused (111)" === benjamin_ is now known as b3nw [17:39] what is good program that can manage internet bandwidth btw hosts in LAN? [17:39] user__ when I do that i dont get any thing clear i get a lot back with long lnames [17:39] Do you helpo w/ apache? [17:39] Errietta: possibly, but #apache is probably a better channel [17:39] Errietta: ask you question, and see if anyone knows the answer [17:39] i'm banned from #apache u know [17:39] :D [17:39] lol [17:40] maboughey: i had the same problem minutes before ...add 'blacklist ath_hal' and 'blacklist ath_pci' in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist this was what solved my problem [17:40] ginfomatikz: you just get all packages with netbeans in the description field. the package is netbeans. does sudo aptitude purge netbeans work for you? please pastebin your output if not [17:40] From the terminal, how can I restart a running application? [17:40] shippo : type ip:1 . this will ask username and password [17:40] basically i want http://pokemonlake.com/map(somemap).php to go to http://pokemonlake.com/sel2.php?map=(somemap) [17:40] BUT [17:40] i want http://www.pokemonlake.com/map(somemap).php to go to http://www.pokemonlake.com/sel2.php?map=(somemap) [17:40] got it? [17:40] Errietta: hm. Then I suggest you read the topic and code of conduct for this channel [17:40] i re-aranged all the menus installed a bunch of plugins and now i want to reset it [17:41] MrKeuner, you can kill it, with "pkill appname", and then run it, with appname, where appname is the binary for the app [17:41] Errietta: I think that woulf involve using apache's mod_rewrite === Guessy is now known as Invisible_Cat [17:41] *would [17:41] i tried this [17:41] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} http://pokemonlake\.com/ [NC] [17:41] RewriteRule map(.*)\.php$ http://pokemonlake.com/sel2.php?map=$1 [17:41] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} http://www.pokemonlake\.com/ [NC] [17:41] RewriteRule map(.*)\.php$ http://www.pokemonlake.com/sel2.php?map=$1 [17:41] Errietta: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[17:41] mister_roboto, no a GUI app [17:41] Sorry but pastebin spamfiltered it.. [17:41] ginfomatikz: please quote my nick in your replys ;-) [17:41] it says 68 things to remove [17:41] mister_roboto, regular app no daemon [17:41] Hey guys, quick question about device.map [17:41] how i can check which gnome version i have ? [17:42] sky_: system > about gnome [17:42] do app / system about gnome [17:42] i less than three less than three less than three less than three less than three less than three ubuntu [17:42] tahnk you :-* [17:42] MrKeuner: what joaopinto said :) [17:42] hi guys... good morning... [17:42] sky_: are you in GUI [17:42] how do you quote a name and what is the pastebin site again [17:42] ginfomatikz: so why not purge them? [17:42] !pastebin > ginfomatikz [17:42] ginfomatikz, please see my private message [17:42] !pastebin | ginfomatikz [17:42] ginfomatikz: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [17:42] mister_roboto, I'd rather like to have just one command to restart the app [17:43] Hi, is here someone experienced in vdr / streamdev plugin? [17:43] I have a fd0 in my device.map, anyone know what that is? Perhaps my DVD drive? [17:43] !who | ginfomatikz [17:43] ginfomatikz: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [17:43] MrKeuner, do man poweroff [17:43] sky_: GUI= Graphic user interface [17:43] /EXIT [17:43] Choobie: fd0 = floppy disk 0 [17:43] or use app launcher with reboot as command [17:43] lstarnes: I don't have a floppy drive in my computer... [17:43] HammerHead66: they answered the question....but thanks for trying to help me...:) [17:43] MrKeuner: then you'll probably have to write some sort of restart script yourself :) [17:43] lstarnes, what a shame / floppy !! [17:44] Choobie: dvd and cdrom drives are usually /dev/sr* or /dev/scd* [17:44] sky_: np [17:44] mister_roboto, why wouldnt't kill -HUP work [17:44] lstarnes: I am getting an error 17 in grub and I think it is because I plugged in a second hard drive after install [17:44] user__ may bad i have not used IRC in like 5 years how do you use tab? [17:44] lstarnes: my primary master is my dvd drive, primary slave is the second drive I plugged in, and secondary slave is my OS [17:45] Choobie: in that case, either change the number of the second drive, or edit grub's config to use the new number of the old drive [17:45] lstarnes: should I just re-install grub? [17:45] ginfomatikz: type u s e tab [17:45] MrKeuner: some programs will respond to various signals USR1 or HUP or whatever and reread config, but you're talking about totally restarting the process [17:45] lstarnes: will try that :D [17:45] q: when I use the "links -dump " command it outputs the result on screen but how do i get it to save to a text file? ive tried the ">" but it ends up blank [17:45] mister_roboto, hmm yes [17:45] use tab user__ does that work? [17:45] Choobie: if the OS drive was the primary slave, it should probably still be the primary slave [17:46] i am dual booting xp and ubuntu, i installed the proprietary driver for my video card and restarted. now the screen stays blank when i try to boot xp or ubuntu. [17:46] mister_roboto, so there is no standart unix command for restarting a process. OK [17:46] ginfomatikz: in my client only, when you start with user___ (not sure if thats a glitch in the software) [17:46] lstarnes: I am fairly certain that it was always the secondary master, I could check but I would have to shutdown [17:46] hi all.... i need some guidance in setting my ubuntu server to start a program at bootup in whatever userspace runlevel is appropriate , I have created a start up script, it works, i have created a symbolic link to its location in /etc/rc5.d/ but it never executes. any suggestions? [17:47] lstarnes: I didn't do anything but plug the new harddrive into an empty connector [17:47] tj83_: ubuntu uses runlevel 2 by default [17:47] tj83_: runlevel 5 is not the default runlevel [17:47] tj83_: there is an update-rc.d script I think [17:47] What's this about? [17:47] ubuntu [17:48] lstarnes, jrgp ok, i will move the link to runlevel 2.... i tried 3 and 5 so will give a shot... yea i dont know about an rc.d script but i want to really understand the runlevels and linux in general so will do it manually. [17:48] thanks [17:48] bleh [17:48] tj83_: make sure you also include the appropriate symlinks in /etc/rc0.d/ and /etc/rc6.d/ [17:48] yesterday night last time i use ubuntu hardy. then i felt i want to try to upgrade intrepid ibex. when update complete i restart my laptop and cannot connect to internet. it can connect to my wireless modem but i cannot surf, why this happen, can someone explain to me? [17:49] when i boot my mom's computer, network manager has to access the password keyring, so i have to type in a password. however, the only password that functions correctly is the original password for her account that i established during installation. why won't her new password work? [17:49] how can i fix this? [17:49] i've tried to burn a data dvd with both brasero and k3b now, no luck. i start the burning process, and once the burning is complete, both programs open the disc tray, which is not good because im on a laptop. so i try to close the tray manually and see if the programs can continue doing the checksum, but they can't. i know the data has been burnt, but i want the data to be checked as well. not sure if this problem is only for me, or laptop [17:49] kristian2: also had this problem [17:49] unitedpotsmokers: can you ping www.google.com? [17:50] kristian2: when burning did you check the box for it to test after burning? [17:50] . [17:51] oCean_: i think cannot, because when i open firefox, i try to surf google or yahoo, nothing display... i also try to access to my modem configuration, it cannt also [17:51] user__ here is the paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/135503/ :-) [17:51] unitedpotsmokers: Are the correct nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf ? [17:51] Hi :) By accident I installed the package "ipppd" that I now want to be removed, however upon removing it using "sudo apt-get remove ipppd" I get this error: http://pastebin.com/m49f0808b - I run Jaunty - What can I do? :) [17:52] I don't know anything about makefiles: so it is a bug in Ubuntu, if i can compile sth. as root, but not with sudo make clean modules - or is that a bug in that particular makefile? [17:52] eax: ask in #ubuntu+1 [17:52] ginfomatikz: ok, still any problems? ;-) [17:52] how can i change the original user's password in ubuntu? [17:52] lstarnes: Okay thanks :) [17:52] Did you see it? [17:52] linux_stu: login as said user and do passwd in the terminal [17:52] So that should start the prog at new? [17:52] hi how i can edit grub table ? [17:52] there was some GUI app [17:53] how do i install ubuntu? [17:53] eax: until jaunty is officially released, #ubuntu+1 will be its official channel [17:53] user___ : yes, its annoying, manage to solve it? [17:53] rorozarzar: boot off the CD - run the installer [17:53] Cpudan80, that's that i tried. however, i still have to type in the original password when a program wants to access the password keyring [17:53] rorozarzar: maybe wubi [17:53] HammerHead66 : yes, i want the data to be checked. [17:53] kristian2: no, i checked the new cd manually, twas okay [17:53] linux_stu: you want to change the default keyring passwd ? [17:53] Cpudan80, yes [17:53] !install > rorozarzar [17:53] rorozarzar, please see my private message [17:53] linux_stu: are you talking about the sudo password or the user's password? [17:54] oCean_: hmm.. im not sure bro, im new... but i try to refresh network list and add it back, restart a laptop many times, the problem didnt solve... im sure i put a correct password, and my modem accept the connection but i cant surf.. [17:54] user___ : meh! i dont want to check it manually. :-P [17:54] Jeruvy, i didn't know there was a difference [17:54] thanks guise [17:54] how i can check which software i have installed ? [17:54] linux_stu: by default only the first user is setup with sudo [17:54] ginfomatikz: now you dont have any netbeans. to start from scratch you need to reinstall it: sudo aptitude install netbeans [17:54] Jeruvy, ok. how can i just change all of the first user's passwords to a new one? [17:55] linux_stu: I'd check your permissions [17:55] kristian2: there is a box u need to check, mark, check-off to make it do that fiction in preferences. Make sure you have done so. after it burns it will kick it out but just put it back in and it will check it [17:55] linux_stu: applications --> accessories --> passwords and encryption keys ;; Edit --> preferences --> [click login line] --> change unlock passwd [17:55] If I have my OS on /dev/hdc1, should menu.lst show root (hdc,1)? [17:55] please how i can check which software i have installed ? [17:55] ok thanks Cpudan80. i will try that [17:55] unitedpotsmokers: You have to check if the settings in /etc/resolv.conf are correct. [17:55] Choobie: try (hd1,1) [17:55] oCean_: but my problem solve when i download intrepid ibex installer, and make a fresh install, everything ok.. [17:55] linux_stu: if you make it match your linux password, it wont prompt you [17:56] sky_: with the package manager synaptic [17:56] One more question i removed the top panel by accident can you get it back like it was at install? [17:56] ginfomatikz: no clue, sorry [17:56] lstarnes: but it could be hd2 just as easily since I have two hard drives? [17:56] user___: and via command line ? [17:56] oCean_: how to check it? [17:56] who had the question about the password? [17:56] ginfomatikz: the top panel just has the application menu by default [17:56] Cpudan80, would i have to type it in if i set gdm to auto-login to the first user? [17:56] Choobie: t9 huh? [17:56] Cpudan80, (even if the passwords were the same) [17:56] zelda: t9? [17:56] ginfomatikz: add "menu bar" to it [17:57] choobie: nevermind [17:57] lstarnes, zelda: right now menu.lst shows hd0,0 but it fails to boot [17:57] linux_stu: ehhh no - if the passwords match it wont prompt you [17:57] cc a tt [17:57] so when u do apt-get remove / purge you still leave things behind you have to do apptitude purge? [17:57] at least that is my understanding - I could be wrong [17:57] Choobie: if hd0,0 doesn't work, try hd1,0 [17:57] lstarnes: ok, will do [17:57] ginfomatikz: no .... [17:57] lstarnes: and should I change this is grub.conf as well? [17:58] lstarnes: and what about devices.map? [17:58] HammerHead66 : not quite sure what you meant by that? in braaero or k3b? [17:58] can anyone help me install e17? [17:58] anyone here? [17:58] i've been running the easy_e17.sh but i keep getting errors while it's runnning [17:58] please! [17:58] Choobie: I think so in grub.conf, but I'm not sure about devices.map [17:58] lstarnes: or would a complete reinstall of grub just fix this? [17:59] thanks Cpudan80 and Jeruvy [17:59] Choobie: reinstalling grub likely will not be necessary [17:59] how i can edit grub ? === Frijolie1 is now known as Frijolie [17:59] hi folks, building KERNEL with "--config TARGET" prompts me for explicitly giving answer to all kernel options! ??? ?? but i gave the process the config? why doesn't it look there? [17:59] lstarnes: Alright, I will give it a shot [17:59] oCean_: ok i will refer it with ebook guide.. dont worry.. [17:59] on ubuntu was some tool where i can configure splash screen, choosing between os's etc [17:59] sky_: man dpkg - i am sure its the right tool but dont know how to do it [17:59] Salut les femmes [17:59] sky_: dpkg is for your software installation check question [18:00] !grub > sky_ [18:00] sky_, please see my private message [18:00] ya pas d'femmes dispo ? [18:00] Cpudan80: then how come when i remove progs that way and reinstall they are still the same (menu bars panels plugins ect) [18:00] kristian2: in the process of making the burn for software somewhere they have a place you have to mark to make it check the burned cd at the end try a diffrent program if you can't find it see if you can find it on another just so you can see what I mean [18:00] user___: no theres not answer [18:00] ginfomatikz: the syntax is sudo apt get remove --purge [proggy] [18:01] sky_: where is no answer to which question? [18:01] ginfomatikz: you have / in your previous line [18:01] user___: grub :) [18:01] !grub | sky_ [18:01] sky_: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [18:01] ginfomatikz: you shouldnt have to remove the menu items (unless you manually added them) [18:01] sky_: try looking in /boot/grub [18:01] i have been doing sudo apt-get purge :prog: then doing sudo apt-get remove :prog: [18:01] ginfomatikz => hidden files in /home/user save the configuration of the programms === Mud|brb is now known as Mud|lunch [18:01] try purge with remove [18:02] lstarnes, jrgp ok, since this is a script... they symlink does not seem to run as ./ as the script works. so my symlink looks like this lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2009-03-21 21:41 botstart -> /home/tj/botstart.sh as the rest of the links in /etc/rc2.d/ [18:02] chi_: how do you reconfigure prog to fresh state [18:02] rm hidden files in home === Jabo2 is now known as Jabo [18:03] that is the only thing i dont like about ubuntu everything is hidden [18:03] ginfomatikz: You need to purge the packages (not remove) to remove the menu items [18:03] hey is apt-file supposed to be able to update right after you get it? i think it's pointing to the wrong files [18:03] can i use EXT3 fs for a bootable flash drive ? [18:03] ginformatikz : i use sudo aptitude purge APP [18:04] chi: you have to put apt-get in the line [18:04] flannel, he ginfo tried to purge (see above) [18:04] ginfomatikz: Ah. [18:04] ginfomatikz: Once you purge, you don't have to remove. Purge does remove. [18:05] Haymaker, might be worthwhile running apt-file update atleast once before you use it. [18:05] ginfomatikz: Which program are we talking about anyway? You may not be removing the right package [18:05] i did, and it fails [18:05] http://rafb.net/p/Tbvdvy31.html the code and the output : http://rafb.net/p/Li22x757.html === jenni is now known as ihana [18:05] netbeanz [18:05] ginformatikz: no i use aptitude instead of apt-get [18:05] thats what im asking, it tries to get files online that dont exist === ihana is now known as jneni [18:05] pls someone tell the that Process Scheduling [18:05] tq|Memphis: Try #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-programming === dariusHH is now known as dariusH [18:06] hi folks, building KERNEL with "--config TARGET" prompts me for explicitly giving answer to all kernel options! ??? ?? but i gave the process the config? why doesn't it look there? [18:06] HammerHead66 : yes, i have selected the check box. the problem is that k3b and brasero ejects my laptop disc tray which can not be mounted software wise again. :-/ has to be done manually and then it cant continue checking. [18:06] ginfomatikz: ginfomatikz and `sudo apt-get remove --purge netbeans` still leaves a menu item? [18:07] is jaunty any good? [18:07] kristian2: you mean after it burns the disk it kicks it out and when you put it back in it can't check it? [18:08] is jaunty any good? rsvp [18:09] Chaoman60: please in #jaunty+1 [18:09] oh [18:09] Chaoman60: please in #ubuntu+1 [18:09] Chaoman60, it's alpha so it might be unstable [18:09] enter the noob, i have a few stupid questions, i have rtfm but it is of no avail [18:10] just say it, Dragnoer [18:10] tring to install flash player on 64 bit [18:10] use 32 bit browser [18:11] what do you need to remote into another computer not on your local network? [18:11] VNC right? [18:11] Frijolie: ssh [18:11] ssh [18:11] Anyone here know a bit about SSL keys/certs? For many applications that I have use SSL, I'd like to use the same private key file (to make this so much easier to manage) but I run into the issue that I would have to give read privileges to "other" in order to get all the applications I want to be able to read it. Does anyone have a more elegant solution to this? Should I place these users in the same group? Should I just use different private keys? [18:11] flash and java not support 64 bit browser. [18:11] Frijolie: it depends on what the other computer is runnig [18:11] Frijolie: thats one method [18:11] can i use gnash on 64bit [18:11] HELP!! why nm-applet is not showing the wifi card? [18:11] Dragnoer: yes [18:11] remote computer is running Intrepid as well [18:11] DIFH-iceroot, doesn't that require a user account on the other end [18:11] Frijolie: yes [18:12] HammerHead66 : yes, the tray is ejected/kicked out after burning and it can't call it back in, because im on a laptop (no motorized tray), so i have to push it manually in, but then brasero will not continue/start verifiying the disc. it kicks it out because it wants to get ride of cache, so it is a good thing, for stasionay computers but not for laptops. :-/ [18:12] Frijolie: I mean which servers it is running (vnc, sshd, etc.) [18:12] DIFH-iceroot, if you don't have a user account on the other end? can you connect via guest account? === FreddyGonzo is now known as minimec [18:12] FrozenFire: of course you have a user-account on the other machine [18:12] Is there a recommended FTP client for ubuntu? [18:12] it say i can in the wiki but when i try to install i get curl_adapter.cpp:61: warning: unused parameter ‘postdata’ [18:12] curl_adapter.cpp:61: warning: unused parameter ‘headers’ [18:12] curl_adapter.cpp:61: warning: unused parameter ‘cachefile’ [18:12] make[1]: *** [libgnashbase_la-curl_adapter.lo] Error 1 [18:12] make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/keenan/Desktop/gnash-0.8.5/libbase' [18:12] Dragnoer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[18:12] make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 [18:12] mbrigdan: filezilla, also support sftp [18:12] lstarnes, that doesn't require a user account on the other end [18:12] Chaoman60: I have flash working in 64-bit firefox, I'm not sure about flash though [18:13] hi folks, building KERNEL with "--config TARGET" prompts me for explicitly giving answer to all kernel options! ??? ?? but i gave the process the config? why doesn't it look there? [18:13] Frijolie: a user account on the other end is usually requiresd [18:13] so Win7B1 knocked out the partition tables on 2 of my 500GB disks. I know what I entered into the Ubuntu installer for partition sizes, but I don't have the exact sector sizes. what libs does the installer use to create the partitions? libparted? [18:13] *required [18:13] kristian2: man that sucks. I would try to contact the software company and try to get them to fix that [18:13] Jeruvy, what's the easiest to use? [18:13] Chaoman60: er, not sure about java [18:13] Frijolie: sneakerwear :) [18:14] lstarnes, hmm...what's this 'vinagre' in the Pref's menu? [18:14] HammerHead66 : yes, it is a bug, and it has been reported but they are not doing anything, old bug. k3b/brasero are not made for laptop users with non motorized trays. :-P [18:14] Frijolie: I'm not sure [18:14] NIke's [18:14] Chaoman60: actually, I do have (mostly) working java in 64-bit [18:15] yeah... [18:15] lstarnes, the script is located in /home/username/script.sh so from /etc/rc2.d/ i make link as sudo ln -s /home/username/script.sh and it creates link just as others in /etc/rc2.d/, now... from /home/username/ i can issue the command "script.sh" and i get bad command, if i issue the command "./script.sh" then the script executes fine... so... when it comes up to the runlevel it does not start on boot cause its only calling that link as "script.sh" not "./sc [18:15] ript.sh" how to solve this? [18:15] anyone? :p [18:15] Frijolie: really it depends more on what you are using and what you need to accomplish. Vnc is well supported in linux but isn't very good for windows. ssh works well but requires privileges. etc. etc. [18:15] kristian2: If I knew anything about programing I would try to help. But as it is right now I have no clue how to do any of that stuff [18:15] ok lets say im using ssh or vnc or sumthin like that and i want to make one machine a thin client to another. how do i make a computer a thin client [18:15] trying to install gnash on 64 bit 8.10 what does this mean [18:15] Jeruvy, VNC is fine...we've got both ends port forwarded [18:15] is apt-file updating correctly for anyone else?

[18:53] the link to kubuntu site in the nav menu for a start :( [18:53] Hammerhead: no worries :-) [18:53] AETE_KRAOUD: no, it means they're going to read from standard input rather than a file [18:53] Gnea-> sorry, i didnt realize these are important info, its a Lattitude G630 [18:54] AETE_KRAOUD: it's so you can pipe data from one command to other that is expecting a file name [18:54] AETE_KRAOUD: not all command use a - for what mhall119 describe though, but many do [18:54] *described [18:54] Flannel: the captchas aren't working [18:54] hi,i have a problem with vlc i just change the skin after that vlc can't run again [18:54] is there any way I can force ubuntu to ease up on the mount security options?

[18:55] AETE_KRAOUD: not really fooling it, the command checks to see if the argument is a hyphen, and does something different if it is [18:55] elfranger: yes, give me a min to find it again ok [18:55] meoblast001: Then you've got something else going on. Have you restarted apache for good measure since installing php5-gd? You might have more luck in #php [18:55] I'm setting up a server for my home, and I'm trying to set up Samba. Is sharing more than one directory as easy as creating new [shares] in the smb.conf? [18:55] AETE_KRAOUD: ye [18:55] George2: No, that would be silly. [18:55] no hay nadie que hable espaniol aca?

[19:00] root [19:00] clicxk it [19:01] hit properties [19:01] and change it to what you need it [19:01] hi i got a question. i just bought a sony vaio and i would like to put ubuntu on it. but i'm affraid that i might ruin the hardware on it. I had another laptop with ubuntu and i think the grafiksdrivers did something funky with it cuz the card doesnt work properly [19:01] jimisrvrox-> depends on how the web page is written, some only allow page link size to display, ie in chunks [19:01] Hammerhead: yes, then I can see group name, id and members [19:01] Every time i start Kubuntu, KDe fails toload and it goes to gnome....unless i choose a different kernal in grub, then kde loads, but none of my programs or applications can be found [19:01] its cool I figured it out [19:01] Hello. how do I get around a port 25 block from my isp? [19:02] I need help with SAMBA and CUPS. Printer connected to linux, needs to be accessed by windows. Not connected to the same network.

[19:02] but hopefully this thread will solve it for me [19:02] user___: can postfix do that? [19:02] ......... [19:02] jimisrvrox-> whats the issue? [19:02] apelgate: you need to combine ssh with postfix. any program can be tunneled by ssh [19:03] Flannel, i added the jaunty-backports to my /etc/apt/sources.list but it still won't choose the newest package. (i'm looking for avrdude-5.5-7) [19:03] i didn't,, kubuntu installed them [19:03] elfranger: were you able to fix the security level for root there? [19:03] hi i got a question. i just bought a sony vaio and i would like to put ubuntu on it. but i'm affraid that i might ruin the hardware on it. I had another laptop with ubuntu and i think the grafiksdrivers did something funky with it cuz the card doesnt work properly [19:03] user___: where do I tunnel it to? [19:03] KDE been working fine [19:03] can it ruin the hardware? [19:03] Hi, i updated my x64 system from 8.04.1 to 8.10 but it woun't boot from the 2.6.27.11 kernal only the 2.6.24.23 kernal [19:03] i jsut rebooted last nigth and it fails to load now [19:03] brous having to go ndiswrapper route and its just been one helluva deal here...I end up with SCIOSCS whatever no such file whatever.. [19:03] apelgate: to a machine under your control somewhere in the net outside of the control of your ISP [19:03] brous: that's nuts.. do you have the option to boot from a network device? [19:03] merkin: You'd add intrepid-backports actually (thats backports for intrepid). And, if Jaunty doesn't have the version you want, well, let me check. [19:03] brous its a long story heh.. [19:04] i get a "Gave up waiting for root device" error and is droped to the shell [19:04] Gnea yeah there is that option [19:04] Hammerhead: the permission level is ok I think. The file system on the card has been mounted as read only... [19:04] any idears? [19:04] brous: k, do you have another linux system setup or is this your only computer? [19:04] user___: hmm. not good enough. If I controlled another machine outside, probably, I would have a postfix there. [19:04] Flannel, the version i would like is in the jaunty release (i'm using intrepid though). http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/avrdude that is the version i would like [19:04] Gnea-> but i'd really like to not install a permanent one, just usb, so i can move around [19:04] merkin: Oh, Jaunty does have the one you want. You'll need to use prevu to backport it for yourself. Since it likely won't be backported, nor would it be backported yet anyway. [19:04] !prevu | merkin [19:04] merkin: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [19:04] brous: aaah... [19:04] can someone please tell me ubuntu's channel for gsoc(if any) [19:05] can ubuntu damage hardware [19:05] Gnea yes, i have another linux, i just want to let my partner to try linux, on her laptop [19:05] Flannel, ah ok, so if the package i want is backported in a different release than what i have, then i need to use prevu? [19:05] TitoN: 99.999 no [19:05] TitoN: any OS can damage hardware [19:05] is there a way to test your boot loader without actually rebooting [19:05] brous: have you tried all of the usb ports? [19:05] can anyonehelp me pls ? ?? ? ?? ?? ? ? [19:05] TitoN: no [19:05] Gnea-> let me try that technique..

[19:05] TitoN: you can even just try it from the cd and not even change the software on the system. [19:06] merkin: What prevu does is do the backport for you. It basically downloads the source package and automatically recompiles it for your system. [19:06] i think the beta drivers i used for 8.10 on my old hp laptop killed my gfx card.....keep getting lines all over the screen and it only loads the drivers after a boot with nv [19:06] meetg: google: ubuntu wiki irc channel -> page which lists all channels [19:06] Flannel: KDe has been working fine for all this time, then last night i rebooted and ubuntu goes to gnome because KDE fails to load, unles i use a different kernal [19:06] lives its own life [19:06] well fuckit then cuz i have asked several fucking time and not one fucking person has responded to me but other users in the meantime have come and asked their questions and got answers GOOD FUCKING COMMUNITY YOU LOT ARE [19:06] TitoN: sounds like you tried to flash your graficcard [19:07] Flannel: this is what my tabls look like on firefox now: http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/2012/snapshot1m.png [19:07] sixofour: Right, but how did you install KDE and GNOME?

[19:09] yea i see...ok let me see if can get mine done... [19:10] can somebody tell me how to set a resolution of 1366x768 ? [19:10] question is how can you test your boot loader without rebooting. if it can be done at all [19:10] how do i jump to the last highlighted line in xchat? [19:10] brous: that's a tough one... does the cd drive not work?

[19:12] brous: 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 already [19:12] sixofour: And you're in Gnome right now, you say? [19:12] no, kde [19:12] under a different kernal [19:13] but none of my programs work..heh [19:13] gnome is the default ubuntu desktop environment, right?

[19:14] i installed ubuntu-desktop on my vmware but it gives error and starts in terminal [19:14] irc1: I don't understand what you mean.....

[19:15] sixofour: Do you mind rebooting, choosing your gnome thing, and then giving me some command outputs?

[19:15] Gnea, well, the couple of times i installed ubuntu-desktop before it auto installs gnome or whatever it is [19:15] with the normal kernal Flannel? [19:15] so first system boot starts with the desktop environment, not terminal [19:16] sixofour: yeah, if tht's what gets you to gnome [19:16] hey i have a source-compiled pidgin installed, so if the ubuntu pidgin synaptic package gets installed thats bad, correct? it tries to install it if i want pidgin-dev or something [19:16] i can use gnome on them all heh' [19:16] Flannel: sorry I forgot to mention, the prob is with getting apt-file to work, I forget you're dealing with like 4 people at once :) [19:16] Anyone here that could tell me how to get crafty to compile on x86_64?

[19:46] sixofour: 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 order [19:47] marginoferror: I tried Preferences > Network Configuration but i cant find the field where you enter host name [19:47] marginoferror: i am using 8.04, does that make a difference? [19:47] hi, how can i apply this patch: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=511751 [19:47] there has to be a better way to fix it other than "wipe your home directory" [19:47] sprout, Yes, but not in the good direction. Stereo bluetooth is flat out not included in 8.04 AFAIK [19:47] sixofour: and to make a new user open the terminal and: sudo adduser usernamegoeshere === geo is now known as geo05 [19:48] sprout, There are theoretically ways to enable it but they are very hackish.

[20:16] millertime_018, you have to add the repository to your sources.list [20:16] ActionPasnip1: this is the card http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16814102794 [20:16] Unggnu: which atheros chip is it? [20:16] kay_ but in case of "multimedia" errors its hard to help, because you dont get errors... but the ubuntuforum has some topics with this issue... [20:17] cchild: can you please give me the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [20:17] ActionParsnip1: the 108 MBps one [20:17] ActionParsnip1: pci :) [20:17] okay, thx a lot , i hope i can find some solution [20:17] Unggnu: can you run: lspci | grep -i atheros [20:17] ActionParsnip1: I don't have it, I am plan to buy it :) [20:17] that's why I am asking. It runs out of the box with 32 Bit [20:18] but I mean there was a problem with 64 Bit because of the firmware [20:18] Anyone know of a "chessmaster" like program for ubuntu? I want one that I can slowly strengthen, and (if possible) that includes various tutorials. [20:18] Unggnu: you need the chip model so you can check, atheros make many chips [20:18] Hi. I have a problem with an external USB hard disk that is formatted for FAT32. When I rsync to it, I seem to get a duplication problem with lower/upper case filenames. Is there a way to prevent this? [20:18] Can someone please help me change my ident response with oidentd I'm so flipping frustrated! [20:18] ActionParsnip1 am not using linux now [20:18] mbrigdan: apt-cache search chess [20:18] I am currently booted in windows [20:19] cchild: the name on the site is not so helpful, lspci will tell us the chip and we can driver up from there [20:19] ActionParsnip1: This card is mentioned to run under Ubuntu, I just don't know if it runs with 64 Bit [20:19] Unggnu: then it will run in both 64 and 32bit [20:19] ActionParsnip1: has madwifi still the 64 Bit issue? [20:19] ActionParsnip1: cool, thanks === Noah0504 is now known as Noah0504|away [20:19] dirty: is that some kind of auto respond [20:19] dirty: if so what program? [20:20] HammerHead66: It just keeps giving the ident response of my username [20:20] HammerHead66: the program is oidentp [20:20] Unggnu: not sure, didnt know there was one [20:20] for IRC? [20:20] ActionParsnip1, ok no prob. I just wanted to know if ATI has stepped up its game when it come to drivers and compiz issues we had a while back [20:20] Unggnu: you need to know if its an A242x or AR5001X or whatever [20:20] dirty: for IRC right? [20:21] HammerHead66: no, for other things. [20:21] Unggnu: atheros is usually prestty supported, some arent though so check the chip [20:21] cchild: dont buy ati, job done [20:21] cchild: AMD* is working on it hard (*AMD bought ATI) [20:21] dirty: like? [20:21] cchild: but it's still a work in progress [20:21] ok thanks [20:21] cch‎ild: 2D is pretty solid, so it depends on your needs [20:21] !info oidentd [20:21] oidentd (source: oidentd): replacement ident daemon.

When I rsync to it, I seem to get a duplication problem with lower/upper case filenames.

[20:22] ActionParsnip1: But there was a problem with 64 Bit in the past because of the firmware? [20:22] HammerHead66: I dont need xchat help dood [20:22] I need oidentd help [20:23] cchild: this is a hardware issue, but AMD board only support crossfire and nvidia boards only support SLI === timmy is now known as Guest20279 [20:23] Unggnu: im not aware of it, i always buy off the HCL and all of my hardware has worked out of the box 100% of the time [20:23] cchild: but I suggest you check out some SLI benchmarks, they're not that impressive. Your better of with a single beastly GPU [20:24] yeah dont spend money on hardware :) [20:24] neeteex: There is a bug in monitor, it reads cpu usage, like, 100 times a second, instead of 5 times a second. [20:24] dirty: sorry man I'm just not sure what you need from me to help you. If you cna try to explain what you are doing and what is happening and what you want it to do I might be able to hep you out [20:24] neeteex: Use htop instead, or set it to read much less often [20:25] eqiso1, my boad is and amd board so i guess if i want dual/tri/quad gpu, i must stick to ati cards [20:25] mbrigdan: this might not be the only problem for me : same thing with htop :( [20:25] cchild: that is correct [20:25] need help with a problem with a firewire camera. if someone can help me please [20:25] mbrigdan: and the words I write here appera with 1 or 2 seconds of delay while typing ! [20:25] HammerHead66: I have the oidentd daemon running and I want it to give a specific response for my ident. As of right now, it only reports my ident as what my username is. I want to change that so it will say something eles. [20:26] dirty: man oidentd.conf [20:26] eqisow1, ok thanks [20:26] my terminal has gone bung.... its like its in t9 input mode [20:26] neeteex: Hmm, are you running anything particularly CPU/memory intensive in firefox? I know that there is a memory leak in flash (I once had flash using over 2G of memory, just because I left it running for several hours) [20:27] lstarnes: tried that, but I just can't seem to make sense of what it is asking me to do.... [20:27] dirty: what do you want to set the username to? [20:27] Hi. I have a problem with an external USB hard disk that is formatted for FAT32. When I rsync to it, I seem to get a duplication problem with lower/upper case filenames. 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] ActionParsnip1: Do you know if the Atheros driver work fine with hidden ssids? [20:28] mbrigdan: I don't realy know, but i could cope without flash for a start. How to cut that ? [20:28] hey all, does anyone here know how to fix the line in mic problem on macbooks? [20:28] lstarnes: If you whois me right now, you'll see my ident response is set to kuipers right now. I want to change it to say t [20:29] dirty: you appear to be connected without an identd [20:29] dirty: or at least no valid response. Try changing the username setting in your client [20:29] Ok, 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] Maybe (definitely) I'm missing something, but I've installed skype and I see nowhere to initiate a video chat with my contacts... [20:30] Unggnu: it should work, but if it doesn't, you can always just turn ssid hiding off ... [20:30] how do update KDE 4.1 to 4.2? [20:30] crdlb: It has nothing to do with security, just privacy :) [20:30] So basically.. I have no idea why the nvidia drivers aren't working [20:30] crdlb: thanks anyway [20:30] Unggnu: privacy? [20:30] ryanCH: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 [20:31] crdlb: That a non computer expert can see when it is on and when it is not [20:31] Unggnu: mine does yes, thats the network manager app not the chip's job [20:31] Is there a way to use plasmoids in gnome? [20:31] dirty: do you know how to do that? [20:31] ActionParsnip1: NM coudn't handle it with Ndiswrapper [20:31] Unggnu: you don't leave your router on all the time? [20:31] but with Intel [20:31] neeteex: Well, if you aren't running a flash app, that probably isn't your problem. [20:31] crdlb: right [20:32] when I type an a, d,g, j,m,p,t,w,. in terminal I get an underline, pressing multiple times I get the next letter like cellphone input... [20:32] * crdlb wonders why someone would do that [20:32] Marfi: gdesklets is the gnome equivalent [20:32] neeteex: Does firefox tend to freeze up? [20:32] thanks for help, ciao [20:32] eqisow1: ty [20:32] neeteex: Like, go a darkened often? [20:32] firewire camera problem console -> ""icvRetrieveFrame convert RGB to BGR"" [20:32] Unggnu: then you need a supported chip. http://efficientpc.co.uk/accessories/wireless/wg311t/ thats mine and it works out of the box since gutsy [20:32] mbrigdan: yes it does freeze, but not only firefox : it might be more general [20:33] mbrigdan: not realy darkened, only taking a while to react to commands (click, keyboard...) [20:34] neeteex: Does htop/whatever report that firefox is using 100/99/etc CPU, or does it just report maxed cpu usage? [20:34] Hi, is it possible to save bootable usb stick contents into file (iso or similar), and later burn that back? [20:34] Ok, I'm probably missing a linux-restricted-modules package matching the current kernel... [20:35] mbrigdan: it says cpu goes from 1 to 90%, so it often overcome with other apps [20:35] hello, 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] Hi. I have a problem with an external USB hard disk that is formatted for FAT32. When I rsync to it, I seem to get a duplication problem with lower/upper case filenames. 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? [20:35] mbrigdan: 96% on last peak ! [20:36] dirty: were u able to change it in ur client? [20:36] neeteex: Ok, next time firefox peaks in its usage, run strace -pXXX > straceout.log (Replace XXX with the pid of firefox) [20:37] neeteex: Then, look around in that log file to see if anything obvious is happening. [20:37] neeteex: One other thing: Do you have beagle installed? [20:38] mbrigdan: I don't know, never heard of beagle === lib is now known as lagann_ === Noah0504|away is now known as Noah0504 [20:38] HammerHead66, I think dirty left us ... [20:38] i think so too [20:39] neeteex: try sudo apt-get remove beagle Beagle often caused problems with high CPU usage for me\ [20:39] he /she just might need to kool off [20:39] neeteex: I have to leave now, but keep asking around, the community is very helpful [20:40] anyone know how to find CONFIG_NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE in the kernel config? I can't find it [20:42] anyone know how to find CONFIG_NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE in the kernel config? I can't find it [20:42] !repeat | hugodor [20:42] hugodor: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[20:45] yes, and the right drivers [20:45] Not a preinstall Dell [20:45] Kitkat: the computer shoudn't just restart [20:45] eqiso1, what do I look at? [20:45] Kitkat: sounds like a hardware issue [20:45] I looked at the kernel log, but not sure what I should be looking at. [20:46] xB4s1Cx, okay. the official nvidia or ati drivers, i guess? [20:46] yes [20:46] goodluck [20:46] Kitkat: daemon.log, dmesg, kern.log, and syslog are good places to start. but seb is right, could be hardware [20:46] xB4s1Cx, goodluck? is it hard to get it working? [20:46] eqisow: What should I look at ? [20:47] kitkat: see above, and pastebin them if you like [20:47] Can anyone help me with pulseaudio, I think it hates me [20:48] Nasso, yeah, driver installation is not easy on linux [20:48] hi guys. i'm trying to install ubuntu from a usb stick. i used unetbootin to make the stick from the 8.10 desktop iso, no errors reported. now when i try to boot from the stick to install, it gets past the splash screen then sits on a black screen forever [20:48] hey all, what package do i install for an mpeg-4 encoder? [20:48] xB4s1Cx, installing the standard nvidia drivers is automatic in ubuntu? [20:49] i tried an OEM install and the help option too, both dumped me to busybox saying it gave up waiting for root device? [20:49] xB4s1Cx, just check the crossbox in restricted drivers? [20:49] josh-l: mencoder, ffmpeg, mplayer. take your pick. are you looking for a front-end app? [20:49] Nasso, but it may not be the newest [20:49] xB4s1Cx, do i need the newest? [20:49] eqisow1: no backend [20:49] Nasso, yeah, they work the best [20:49] I just lost my NM-APPLET from the panel (it's still working, but not visible). How do I get it back? [20:50] whats the command to see what is happening when I insert my SD card? [20:50] Nasso: use the restricted drivere checkbox, installing the driveres from nvidia is not recomended. It will break when your kernel updates [20:50] why cant i install my raedon driver when it says this driver is not activated [20:50] eqisow1, ok. thanks [20:50] josh-l: then mencoder should work fine [20:51] can i configura 4 monitors on 2 graficscards with the nvidia control panel or do i need to hack xorg.conf ? [20:51] thanks [20:51] Nasso: It *should* autocifngiure when you restart X, but if it doesn't we can tackle it === hateball1 is now known as hateball [20:52] eqisow1, i havnt bought the gfx-cards yet :) [20:52] hey how can i add ext4 support to 8.04? i have a SD card using it [20:52] is nvidia or ati recommended for multiple screens? what drivers are best and most stable for this? [20:52] Nasso: gotcha. well it *shouldn't* require X hacking.. no promises though. I've never done it with 4, only 2 [20:52] I want to enable ASLA again, but I can't seem to be able to do it [20:52] danzat: has someone helped you yet? [20:53] how do i get my ati/amd proprietary card to activate? [20:53] mbrigdan: sorry for disconnection : my pc crushed while under strace command (did'nt find how to stop it !) [20:53] Nasso: is not easy, you'd better use a jaunty liveCD to access your SD card [20:53] Nasso: both are fine, users will somply advise what they prefer, there is no best. there is no best ANYTHING in life === |sparr| is now known as sparr [20:53] Nasso: AMD is working hard on getting ATI drivers up to par, but it's a work in progress, so for now probably nvidia unless you're getting a pair of slightly older cards [20:53] !ati | maddwesty [20:53] maddwesty: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:53] Action: there are very real driver differences, unfortunately [20:53] danzat: /system/prefs'/sound and change there [20:54] eqisow1: inded but one is not better than the other [20:54] Does anyone know if the HVR-1800 has full linux support? [20:54] thanks you [20:54] how do i make AWN run on startup????? [20:54] Nasso: sorry, that was not for you [20:54] !startup [20:54] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [20:54] timbooka: check your sessions settings [20:54] ActionParsnip1: try getting 3D acceleration on my ATU card then say that [20:54] cr4z3d: is not easy, you'd better use a jaunty liveCD to access your SD card [20:54] timbooka, system-pref-sessions add it there [20:54] eqisow1: thats one ati card out of the whole range [20:54] timbooka, if you're at gnome env-nt [20:54] eqisow1: some ati cards are fine [20:54] does sli or crossfire work in linux? [20:55] eqisow1: hence me saying neither is better [20:55] fosco__: ah.. sucks. but thank you i'll have to get that working [20:55] Nasso: sli is as far as i know [20:55] ActionParsnip1, not crossfire? [20:55] I wanted to knowdoes formating the hard drive have an account on its life span? [20:55] is there a such thing as "formatting it too much" [20:55] Action: their drivers are broken on all 64 bit systems without lib32 (done arguing now, we're way offtopic :p) [20:55] Nasso: i dont know, i dont use ati cards on principal [20:56] ActionParsnip1, me too, their drivers are too bad :-( [20:56] Nasso: SLI and crossfire both work [20:56] I wanted to know does formating the hard drive have an account on its life span?* [20:56] KnightL no [20:56] Knight`, nope [20:56] eqisow1: lil bit, there is still no best, best is an opinion of a product on own requirements. I find the word best really immature [20:56] HammerHead66, hey i found out what the problem was hahah!Q! [20:56] * arp13 is using x3100 now and pretty happy :D [20:57] unko: what was it?

My wireless network works, detects my network but i cant access the internet. any help? [20:59] well you found it [20:59] yeps [20:59] thanks for trying to help though haha [20:59] Why does my wirless often bog down to nothing / link quality drop down to 0? I'me no more than 15ft away from the router... ath5k [20:59] gkey, hmm I think there is only one applet for networking, the default one [20:59] np [21:00] ryanakca: do you have the latest driver and full updates [21:01] arp14 - that's what i thought. But the one listed on the applet list is Network-monitor, not networkmanager-applet or nm-applet [21:01] hugodor: which architecture are you trying to compile for? [21:01] Hi there. I installed ubuntu by using wubi. My wireless network works, detects my network but i cant access the internet. any help?

[21:04] ActionParsnip1 i cant ping anything besides my own network [21:04] snooser: if you can ping the ip but not name, dns is failing [21:04] hello [21:04] snooser: then i would reboot your router [21:04] ActionParsnip1 no, not a router problem. [21:04] anyone know why i cant detect my bluetooth headphones? i used "hcitool scan" and it doesnt appear. im using sony bluetooth headset that came with my sony mp4 player, which has no problems pairing with the headset [21:05] arp13 - tx - lifesaver!

[21:06] eqisow1 it was running and rebooting thru ubuntu just fine a few hours ago. nothing's been changed except i am trying to install fresh (really hosed some things) [21:06] is there a way to safely shut down if I just have a blank desktop screen? something like ctrl-alt-del task manager in windows? [21:06] 32bit [21:06] Hi there. I installed ubuntu by using wubi. My wireless network works, detects my network but i cant access the internet. any help? [21:06] rockchickz: 32 bit ubuntu does [21:07] militant: if you didn't format, or perhaps didn't re-install grub, your fstab could be messed up [21:07] HammerHead66: ah, i tried using the wubi and it failed on launch stating 256mb needed. is that just for the win32 installer? [21:07] eqisow1 there shouldn't be an fstab. i'm trying to run a clean install from a usb stick [21:07] snooser-> post your ifconfig; iwconfig; sudo lshw -C network; route -n; cat /etc/resolv.conf [21:07] tauren: Well, if you can get to a TTY (ctrl-alt-f1) you can shut down there (sudo shutdown now) [21:07] !hello [21:07] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:07] rockchickz: i am unsure [21:08] militant: ahh, I see. and you've been able to run from USB before? [21:08] Flannel: thanks! i think that will work [21:08] tauren: If you can't do that, you can use reisub (well, that'll reboot, to turn off, reisuo) [21:08] !reisub | tauren [21:08] tauren: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [21:08] Hello. I have Ubuntu installing in a virtualbox, and "Select and install software" seems to have frozen at 18%. [21:08] Flannel: Use reisub? what's that? [21:08] brous, thanks. gonna try that [21:08] Is there a way of seeing whether it really has frozen? It did the same at 6% for a while, but this is a lot longer. [21:08] eqisow1 yes the original install was from usb stick. since then the stick has had its partition rebuilt and the contents formatted (vfat) and unetbootin used to make an install stick from a fresh copy of the 8.10 desktop iso [21:09] tauren: Read the thing ubottu sent you [21:09] Flannel: ah, just saw it. thanks. And thanks ubottu! [21:09] mapreduce: how long did you have to wait for the system to continue at 6% [21:10] About 10 minutes I think. [21:10] And it's been at 18% for the best part of an hour now. [21:10] If I abort and just reboot, will I have something usable installed to disk? [21:10] I am on amd64. Is there a package that would install sun 32 bits, including the tools.jar in lib (ie, a full jdk and not just a jre) ? [21:11] mapreduce: ok, try switching to a console (no, nothing usable..) [21:11] I have a char encoding problem. all file I try to open in text editor writed on windows before and content accent like é [21:11] user___: Yes, I've already done that, via Alt-F2. [21:11] mapreduce: a console inside the guest [21:11] à etc... are ������ [21:11] mapreduce: that could be the console of your host [21:11] hey i have a quick question [21:11] I've had a look what commands are there but not noticed anything I can do from there. [21:12] top isn't present, for example. [21:12] militant: the persistent USB install is getting outside my area of experience, I'm afraid. hopefully somebody else can help you here [21:12] ActionParsnip1: Yes, it's built into the kernel. (Well, as a module) === Sam[DoDo-Times`] is now known as Sam`` [21:12] i use ubuntu and just recently installed xfce and when i use xfce, my other two hard drives are not detected though they are in vanilla ubuntu [21:12] i was able to do the net install just fine, btw, but it was stalling out on retrieving packages [21:12] mapreduce: there must be some sort of log file: ls -lt lists newest files on top [21:12] somehow the livecd installer dies on waiting for root device. weird [21:12] user___: As the host is Vista, it isn't going to have consoles. Or perhaps I misunderstood you. [21:13] how can i remedy that [21:13] mapreduce: i meant console in the guest. the gui or text installer is occupying just one console. the others *could* be active [21:13] Lvl21nerd: you'll have to manually mount them [21:13] hi, has anyone been trying chromium/chrome lately? [21:14] how do i do that? [21:14] user___: alt-f2 shows another console, which I can activate. Do you mean that? === Alieno is now known as Benzo [21:14] !fstab | Lvl21nerd [21:14] Lvl21nerd: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [21:14] same for alt-f3 etc. [21:14] Hello everyone. Is there a way to enable restricted hardware drivers from the command-line? The Hardware Drivers GUI applet is hanging at the download dialogue. [21:14] thank you [21:14] Cheery: I have, fast as hell, just as unstable [21:14] /var/log/syslog says "Some program may be trying to access hardware directly" but that could be from a while ago. [21:15] I'm trying to check/test a bunch of 7z files, but I don't understand the manual. It supposedely allows reading a list of filenames from a file, but I don't understand... does anyone with 7zip installed knows how to do it? [21:15] FrozenFire[work]: there is no cli-only frontend for jockey, but depending on the driver, you can do it manually [21:15] anyone proposed ubuntu to move their interest from firefox to chromium? [21:15] Ah, no, it's periodic, and still happens. [21:15] FrozenFire[work]: yes [21:15] mapreduce: yes, activate and check all consoles. maybe one is "scolling" whats being done (debian has it that way) [21:15] save drive to Desktop [21:15] cipherZen: yeah, and it's damn incredible, firefox can never provide that same experience [21:16] drivers* [21:16] after it's complete, it'll be the best browser for linux [21:16] FrozenFire[work]: then open terminal [21:16] HammerHead66: Yeah, I thought of that, but I'd rather use the one from the Ubuntu repository [21:16] user___: Ok, Alt-f4 shows a running log; the last thing was "setting up dash", followed by lots of copies of the above message. [21:16] FrozenFire[work]: cd Desktop [21:16] true that. they really do need to work out some of the bugs though, their bug reporting site even makes it crash on my box :P [21:16] This system is going to be used by someone technically illiterate, so it needs to automatically update itself. [21:16] FrozenFire[work]: dir [21:17] Each preceded by Spurious NAK on isa0060/serio0 [21:17] HammerHead66: Yes, I know all of that. Thanks anyways. [21:17] FrozenFire[work]: ok [21:17] ff [21:17] sorry [21:18] I'll give up, reboot and install it again, but with nothing about bare minimum software. [21:18] Cheery: is it possible to get chrome for linux yet? [21:18] mapreduce: hmm i'd put it down for later reference and restart the install [21:18] Gnea: not really, I've tried one very early alpha release [21:18] user___: Ok, thanks. [21:18] but it'll be available [21:18] mapreduce: good luck [21:18] and it's open source (some sort of) [21:18] Cheery: yeah, it seems more windows-based. lame. [21:19] Gnea: It's released as Chromium in Linux, no branding atm iirc. I think they make Ubuntu packages, though [21:19] you can try it too, but I think it's not usable yet [21:20] Gnea: go to add/remove programs in search put chrome. make sure the show is on All available apps [21:20] Gnea: I hear it works OK in Wine too, but I haven't tried it [21:20] much of UI is not working yet, there's no tabs and it tends to crash on unimplemented routines [21:20] <_dbd_l12> Gnea: this is the closest you get atm (wine-based) i think: http://www.codeweavers.com/services/ports/chromium/ [21:20] eqisow1: it was working in wine, sort of, but it broke with the latest update to wine [21:20] Gnea: you can run a native development version of what will become Chrome for Linux [21:20] but damn it's still awesome [21:21] and I think shuttleworth should push money on it instead of firefox [21:21] hello there again. still with the same problem [21:21] Gnea: word of warning about the dev version for linux, you can use it, but its really unstable [21:21] Cheery→ excuse me, who is pushing money on firefox? [21:21] what's up, snooser? [21:21] hrm [21:21] eqisow1, i cant access my wireless network, but i have no internet [21:21] magnetron: development efforts [21:22] offtopic: I want a decent KDE browser :/ [21:22] magnetron: ubuntu supports firefox right now [21:22] _dbd_l12: running WIndows browsers in Wine without changing their user agent string to mention Linux, will then be contributing to WIndows browser market share, and that's not a good thing [21:22] eqisow1: Konqueror [21:23] Cheery→ canonical supports all the software in ubuntu, for a fee. the customers are pushing money on canonical, none of this ever reaches mozilla foundation [21:23] is FF so bad you have to use WINE and a windows browser? [21:23] see. that is so odd. the livecd version of the usb stick installer hangs on waiting for root device. but the netinstall version goes thru perfect [21:23] sebsebseb: I wish. mostly render problems for me, though, the interface is decent [21:23] I highly doubt that chrome is going to break any real new ground. firefox was supposed to have done that, and yet it still runs slow-as-snot on a 1.7ghz/512Mb system [21:23] Where does ubuntu keep its fonts? [21:23] eqisow1, any help? [21:23] snooser: You're in Wubi, right? What have you tried? [21:23] I love FF, its fast, its addons enhance it like no other, and as such, no other comes close [21:24] anyone knows a book for shell and shell scripting? [21:24] duffy: well how about Seamonkey? [21:24] infiter789→ there's a book on wikibooks. try it [21:24] what about it.. It aint broke so no need to fix it [21:24] eqisow1 yes, i used wubi. [21:24] Gnea: firefox broke real new ground, or if you noticed it? [21:24] magnetron: wikibooks' [21:24] it has 27% market share [21:24] <_dbd_l12> Hfuy: ~/.fonts and /usr/share/fonts iirc [21:24] infiter789→ wikibooks. [21:25] and it's an alternative for IE8&crappies [21:25] duffy: you can do add ons for Seamonkey etc. and I hope you know about the link between Seamonkey and Firefox [21:25] magnetron: ok, thanks, I will search for it [21:25] duffy: i had to ditch gnome for E17 in order to get FF to gain any semblence of rational running... even still, it needs to be restarded now and then [21:25] does anybody know how to get rid of the shadow underneath the top panel in gnome? [21:25] Does anybody know what does mean the "%U" at the end of the command in the main menu entries?? [21:25] firefox's goals weren't speed or performance :) [21:25] Cheery: of course it did, I'm just saying that I'm not expecting a whole lot out of chrome [21:25] or convenience [21:25] chrome provides those [21:25] Cheery: it was, originally. it was supposed to be the lean and mean rebirth of mozilla [21:26] ive customised it a little tho, removed nav bar, put icons and url/search bars next to the File/Edit etc menus, so save real estate.. and used freesans for fonts.. much better than defaults [21:26] Gnea: try it on windows sometime near and see it yourself [21:26] try run javascript heavy web-apps on it [21:26] Cheery: I will [21:26] eqisow1: rebirth???? Mozilla Suite with some good marketting could have hit off nicely, but nope that died and Firefox and Thunderbird live on, and those that liked the Mozilla Suite, can have Seamonkey === guest is now known as dykmn [21:27] i dont see why people have a problem , i dont.. [21:27] i have install ubuntu,but the wireless doesn't work [21:27] what can I do? [21:27] it dont crash, its not slow.. [21:27] any pulseaudio master present? ;) [21:27] \join #lunar [21:27] marctw: damn wireless issues, very common, because of stupid wireless manufactures that do not suppourt Desktop Linux yet [21:27] !wireless [21:27] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:28] just ask your questions to the channel please kklimonda [21:28] sighhhhhhhh [21:28] marctw: you need to be specific about what device you have and all that, or people can't really help you [21:28] !pulseaudio [21:28] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [21:28] I have windows, ubuntu and OSX installed and grub bootloader, somehow it got set to automatically boot into the last booted OS w/out any prompt. I can't for some reason boot into the LiveCD to mount the ubuntu disk and fix the grub settings, how can I boot into windows (instead of osx as its currently set) [21:29] or even boot into ubuntu [21:29] it just auto boots into OSX (which is giving me problems booting right now) [21:29] press escape when it does the seconds timeout [21:29] and manually choose another [21:29] daftykins, there is no seconds timeout [21:30] oh dear. [21:30] slide: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst from os x [21:30] <_dbd_l12> slide: boot off a live disc (ubuntu, knoppix, any will do) or usb and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [21:30] jrib, i cant get into osx [21:30] _dbd_l12, the livecd wont boot [21:30] slide: what are you in?

[21:30] windows and linux work, but i cant boot into them [21:30] kristian_, just don't verify :P [21:31] slide: either get it to boot from the cd or remove the hard drive and mount it on another pc [21:31] i have a question [21:31] ok [21:31] how do i convert .dat file in linux? [21:31] kristian: what, exactly, is the problem? most burning apps use the sam ebackend, so switching isn't likely to help [21:31] slide: or fix os x... [21:31] daftykins : how come no linux dvd burner program can properly verify! it's the simplest task ever. :-P [21:31] it is a riff audio file [21:31] Gnea: it doesn't really help me - i still can't get my microphone to work ;) [21:31] kristian_, people probably use MD5'ing etc instead [21:32] kklimonda: why didn't you say that your microphone was the problem in the first place? ;) [21:32] Gnea: well.. because it's pulseaudio's fault ;) [21:32] <_dbd_l12> datta: maybe sox can do that for you [21:32] i've fixed it once already.. [21:32] I'm having trouble connecting with my wireless router :| [21:32] Gnea: but i had to sacrifice black goat.. [21:33] i know that ther eare drivers for windows so that you can access your ext3 partition i have tried fs-driver and diskinternals linux reader and they dont work with my version of windows (vista business) help [21:33] i do not get it how do u actually convert it with that [21:33] can u covert it with the terminal [21:34] waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [21:34] trinidadflores: please also ask in #windows [21:34] kklimonda: well, that's not good enough. you need to cut the crap and get straight down to it in order to get any help around here. :) is your mic turned on in the alsamixer? [21:34] <_dbd_l12> datta: yes, sox is a command line tool (you need to install it first: sudo apt-get install sox) [21:34] Can anyone guide me though setting up samba so Windows can print to Ubuntu printer. Computers are not on the same network. None of the wiki's and howtos are helping. [21:35] !samba > Stepan1 [21:35] Stepan1, please see my private message [21:35] Hello [21:35] eqisow1 : from scratch... i was going to burn a data dvd today, so i tried out the default burner in ubuntu, brasero. started burning, but when it was done burning, it ejected the tray and verifying failed. later i learnt that it tried to eject tray, then mount it again, to get ride of cache. since im on a laptop, i dont have a motorized tray, so it cant be called back software wise. thats why it failed. so i try pushing the tray in manual [21:35] They dont know shit in that channel thats why i am asking in this one [21:35] Anyone fairly knowledgable about AWN? [21:35] daftykins : yes, but any dvd burner should be able to verify, thats my point. :-/ === segin|kvirc is now known as segin [21:36] kristian_: i posted how to fix this problem on that bug ticket [21:36] Axis: no and Cairo dock is meant to be better [21:36] trinidadflores: please watch your language. also, we only support ubuntu in here, so if it's not ubuntu, we don't do it. you might find better help in #linux or #windows [21:36] Are you suggesting that I use Cairo instead? [21:37] HammerHead66: can you please post a link again. :-) anyways ive tried many things so far. :-/ im about to give up! :-O [21:37] user___: As I said, none of those links help me. Most important factor, these printers are not connected to the same connection/network/router [21:37] Axis: yes, but I haven't used it myself yet [21:37] i am in both and there is no one talking in the #windows i have been in there all day!! [21:37] Haha, so how can you suggest something you have never used? :P [21:37] trinidadflores: Windows is for idiots! [21:37] hey... im tryiong to set up a static IP using the network manager. the settings r correct, i believe, but the "OK" button never becomes active, allowing me to save the new connection. any ideas? [21:37] Axis: ,because I have read about it, plus had contact with people that have used it [21:38] hey yall whats the command to see what wireless drivers are in use [21:38] the only reason why i still have windows is because of my drafting software [21:38] need the 3d rendering [21:38] trinidadflores: oh [21:38] to clarify: a wired conex; under the IPv$ settings, Manaul [21:38] Ah, I fixed my problem anyways, but I will still look into Cairo [21:38] trinidadflores: yeah for 2D stuff a vm [21:39] Gnea: well, mic works now but i get horrible quality in empathy ;) [21:39] i need help g4 12 inch power book installed ubuntu intrepid cpu runs at 100% all the time memory stays at 277 out of 754 how do i fix [21:39] kristian_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k3b/+bug/72609 [21:39] Stepan1: i feel you need to explore more and post a concrete error message, people here can help you better then === Surlent is now known as Surlent777 [21:39] Axis: ok sure, Linux Distros are about choice, unlike Windows, these things are also not meant to be seen as some free as in price version of Windows. or a free as in price of OS X.

Not nearly as much as I would like to however. [21:41] no i am newbie [21:42] HammerHead66 : yes, i tried that. and then it would burn and verify without ejecting disc. it worked for the first disc i was going to burn, but then when i tried 2,3,4,5 then it failed at verifying and k3b actually crashed. :-/ [21:42] and i asked a question [21:42] Hopefully, a simple question: I have a desktop, and I have a laptop. Both are hooked into a router. How do I get them properly networked (ie able to be viewed in Nautilus/Konqueror)?

Is it formatted? Fat32, ext, etc [22:43] how do i open ssh on ubuntu? [22:43] !ssh | lolwut` [22:43] lolwut`: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [22:43] i mean how can it be that on the one hand startx fails, but gdm is fine (with messed up xorg.conf) and on the other sometimes gdm starts with a nice window complaining about my graphic settings (with a fresh auto-generated xorg.conf)? [22:43] jrib, wanna make it for me? seems like a long proccess to do that [22:44] unko: no [22:44] thanks [22:44] mustangg its at /dev/sdg [22:44] mustangg i forgot to add its ntfs [22:44] wat, does it still work OK on other systems? [22:44] jrib, :[ [22:44] John_OAS yes it does, on fedora 10/windows xp [22:45] unko: i bet if you sit down and read for a few minutes you can finish within 30 minutes :) [22:45] also John_OAS its being recognized by fdisk -l [22:45] If a portable drive is disconnected from say, a Windows machine without a "clean" disconnect, Ubuntu won't mount it. [22:45] that hasnt happend [22:45] ill boot windows right quick [22:45] If you can, reconnect it to the XP box, use the "remove media" and wait for the "Device is OK to remove now" message, and try agian. [22:46] I need to reinstall nm-applet because I tried out wicd and wasnt too successful with it and I treid to look for it on the ubuntu cd and couldnt get it back on my wifes system [22:46] jrib, re naming all of them! pfft and i need to find which is which man....im not good at these kinda things [22:46] could anyone recommend a configuration management software like. cfengine ? which is best for ubuntu/debian? [22:46] jrib, it's a pretty nice theme look http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?twytmmyywyt [22:48] Anyone got any idea why one of my machine's wont let me login today? Regardless of which login I use, I'm bounced straight back to the login screen or prompt. [22:48] to restate my question: startx uses xorg.conf, what does gdm use? [22:48] anyone know rar password cracker ? [22:48] yell: xorg.conf and the files in /etc/gdm/ [22:48] John_OAS is your disc quota/space full? [22:48] and now for something completely different: I tired using the MAKE USB BOOT DISK tool, and used it to make a LiveUSB of 8.10. It worked. I was done with it, so I just erased everything on it, and now it doesn't want to boot off of it anymore. Any ideas as to why this might be? [22:48] yell, gdm runs on top of xorg [22:48] It's not a password issue, I get a proper "Login incorrect" message when I get that wrong./ [22:49] Can I make the mail check that is run on login shells check a maildir rather than the user's mbox? [22:49] if gdm runs on top of xorg, how can "gdm" work and "startx" fail? [22:49] yell, I'm pretty sure it's nowhere near it. I'm booting from a live CD now to have a look at the drive. [22:49] hello, yesterday I was downloading at speeds >50 kb/s [22:49] anyone wanna make a icon theme for me? i have the icons i just need someone to do it for me :] [22:49] ¾ [22:50] !best | mrjohns1 [22:50] mrjohns1: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[22:50] starts an [22:51] John_OAS [22:51] hi all, I'm having a problem maximizing windows, they only maximize to fill half of the screen [22:51] I'm trying to split a video into smaller parts for youtube, what can I use to do this? [22:51] my external hard drive is recognized in windows i can explore it [22:51] OK was, do a by the book WIndows disconnect. [22:51] sure [22:51] Sorry, "wat" [22:51] crdlb: have a fileserver without a monitor, but a TV connected. if i had modes by hand to my xorg.conf with 50Hz forced, then startx replys that no suitable mode was found. gdm however just starts with 60Hz [22:51] constantine: what window manager are you using? [22:52] um John_OAS i cant eject it [22:52] wat, does it show in the places menu (might be as GB media [22:52] Windows says it's still in use?

[22:53] crdlb I don't know how do I find out [22:53] yell: they both use the xorg.conf, so I don't know; they might use different arguments to the Xorg binary though [22:53] constantine: do you have visual effects enabled? [22:53] Just use the "Safely remove hardware" icon in the system tray. (Green arrow thingy) [22:53] crdlb yes [22:53] in ubuntu, right click on the drive's icon and pick unmount volume (wat) [22:53] constantine: do you have CompizConfig Settings Manager (ccsm) installed?

And it is ntfs? [22:56] ok, so i've downloaded this "unetbootin" program like i was told, and it's not offering me anywhere reasonable to install the linux to [22:57] OK then, just do a complete shutdown of the XP Box with the portable drive connected. WHen it's shutdown completely, asuming no errros, remove the drive and reconnect to your Ubuntu box. [22:57] it only gives me a choice of my windows partitions [22:57] yes oCean_ [22:57] even though i have already made a linux ext3 and swap [22:57] wat: then mount manually first, see if that works [22:57] John_OAS i have already done that [22:57] hey peeps [22:57] oCean_ whats the command i forget [22:57] not mnt? [22:57] anyone have any ideas? [22:57] wat: "sudo mkdir /mydisk" <- or whatever [22:57] wat: "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdg1 /mydisk" [22:58] wat: sdg if i remember correctly [22:58] krzysz00: http://paste.ubuntu.com/135669/ [22:58] constantine: ccsm itself did not do that [22:58] anyone, hello? [22:58] hello [22:58] constantine: you have to fix any changes to compiz's configuration that you made _in_ ccsm, or just turn off compiz entirely (Visual effects to None) [22:58] oCean_ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdg [22:58] correct [22:58] ? [22:59] ok, so i have a ext3 and a swap partition, why isnt unetbootin only giving me a choice of my windows partitions to install to? [22:59] wat: almost [22:59] why is* [22:59] wat: "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdg1 /mydisk" [22:59] anyone have any suggestions to speed up flash / video performance on a GMA 950 netbook? [22:59] my helper just abandoned me lol, so can anyone else help? getting dependency issues trying to install this blender renderer http://paste.ubuntu.com/135669/ [22:59] wat: replace /mydisk with whatever (existing!) directory you want your disk mounted to [23:00] um what. fuse: failed to access mountpoint /music: No such file or directory [23:00] wat: so create /music first "sudo mkdir /music" [23:00] wat: create the directory first, make sure it doesn't have anything else in it, as oCean has detailed. [23:00] oCean_ the folder music is already there -_- [23:00] oh wait i see [23:01] Removable drive are often mounted at /media/whatever [23:01] creat the "whatever" folder for your drive first. [23:01] yo yo yo [23:02] should i just assume that the stuff i type, noone sees? === [GuS] is now known as Me [23:02] John_OAS how can i create the directory at the external drive? sudo mkdir /dev/sdg/asdf doesnt work [23:02] Ariana: i can see it [23:02] any ideas then?

First you have to mount the disk! [23:02] ariana do a manual parittion setup [23:02] wat: to make the folder the partition must be mounted [23:03] the partitions are already set up [23:03] its on an external harddrive, i've already made an ext3 and a swap [23:03] i just need to install to it now [23:03] John_OAS when replacing myhdd with /dev/sdg it says no such file/directory [23:03] hi [23:03] wait nevermind [23:03] my fstab file has been wiped [23:03] what are some good video editing apps for linux? [23:03] Ariana: part of the partitioning is to set what each is used for and if it is to be formatted or not [23:03] what does a normal one look like, anyone ? [23:03] they've been formated, yes [23:03] mount: can't find /media/dev/sdg in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [23:03] binarymutant: kio, avidemux are some [23:04] ActionParsnip1, ty [23:04] wat: Are you completely ignoring my commands? [23:04] i'm in windows atm, i want to install ubuntu onto my external hdd, i used paragon partition manager to make the partitions and format em [23:04] oCean_ no im not [23:04] Ariana: run through the installed and tell it which partitions are used for each mount point (/ and /swp) [23:04] wat: Read back what I suggested. Make a folder (mountpoint) then run the mount command with the correct options [23:04] action, i'm in windows atm, trying to get ubuntu installed onto an external hdd [23:04] wat: "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdg1 /media/myhdd" [23:04] Ariana: they will need formatting ext2 or ext3 [23:04] !/etc/network/interfaces [23:04] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:05] i have an 8.1gb ext3 followed by a 2gb swap2 [23:05] !find /etc/network/interfaces [23:05] File /etc/network/interfaces found in aufs-tools, switchconf [23:05] John_OAS: yu'll need more options on that [23:05] John_OAS why are you putting myhdd? [23:05] I walked into a bar last night and there was a weird contest going on. They apparently had meet nailed to the ceiling and the bartender tells me to throw this dart and if i hit the meat. I get a free beer. Well I told him frankly that I would not part take in his games, simply because the steaks were to high. [23:05] John_OAS: so users can write to it [23:05] also i get failed to access mountpoint [23:05] anyone in here wanna make a sweet icon theme? i have the icons all i need is for you to pack them up and rename them [23:05] server irc.virtualife.com.br [23:05] You can use whatever directory you created to mount your drive to. [23:05] i alll, my internet works, but my download speed is like 10 kb/s >.< [23:05] wat: you need to create an empty folder to mount to [23:05] server irc.virtualife.com.br [23:06] In my previous command I showed how to create the /media/myhdd directory, as an example. [23:06] I need soem help as that is an unnaceptable spped [23:06] wat: try this [23:06] so, the partitions are all ready, but when i run unetbootin, it only gives me a choice of my windows ntfs partitions to install to [23:06] sorry about my ignorance there is a lot of background noise [23:06] why? [23:06] wat: sudo mkdir /media/mydata; mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdg1 /media/mydata -o uid=1000 [23:06] thanks man === kiosk is now known as Khorak_st6 [23:07] and what other programs can i use to install ubuntu onto an external hdd from within windows? [23:07] Ariana: does the other disk show up in sudo fdisk -l ? [23:07] ActionParsnip1 when i do that it says only root can do this lmao [23:07] what's sudo fdisk? [23:07] Ariana: not sure, i dont use windows at all [23:07] hi oCean_ [23:07] Ariana fdisk -l shows you all your drives on your system [23:07] Wat it needs sudo on the mount command [23:07] o [23:07] ikanobori: hey [23:07] Ariana: sudo fdisk -l will list your partitions in the system that the kernel can see [23:08] fdisk is not a recognised command [23:08] wat, Action gave you two commands there, you can separate them. [23:08] IM USING WINDOWS [23:08] i've said that like 5 times [23:08] ariana - tried using a livecd and setting up directly ? [23:08] thanks for all the help guys [23:08] and u keep giving me linux commands to run [23:08] Ariana: please, no all-caps. [23:08] im saving that command [23:08] Ariana: this is a linux support channel, not Windows. [23:08] hi, could someone please help me with fstab [23:08] im trying to install ubuntu [23:08] what package is needed for imagemagick? i've installed both graphicsmagick and imagemagick pkgs and neither seems to actually be installed [23:08] Ariana if you really did install unetbootin you would have a bootloader ;) [23:08] the file seems to have been erased [23:08] or blanked out [23:08] install? it's just an executable [23:08] Ariana, fdisk is in windows too btw [23:08] Wat: if you put that in your /etc/fstab (but re-arranged) AND the drive is internal, it will mount at bootup [23:08] want me to take a screenshot?

[23:10] Ariana: to boot the iso and then install to usb that way [23:10] how do i get pulseaudio to play my music on my laptop through the speakers on my desktop? [23:10] Ariana: i dont use windows so i dont know [23:10] Ariana can you boot from usb [23:10] Ariana: You could try wubi [23:11] Ariana, I think it's called wubi [23:11] i was told wubi would mess up my boot sector [23:11] i don't want my boot sector modified [23:11] balrog____: ive been after than and so far i turned up blank [23:11] anyone knows a program to boot vector linux lite in a usb 2.0 pendrive?

[23:11] who told you that Ariana dont listen to that person [23:11] i dont recommend wubi but still [23:11] ok, well i'l give that a go, thanks [23:12] Ariana: it adds stuff to the windows bootup, what is so precious of your boot sector if yu only boot windows [23:12] ActionParsnip1: then what is the use of keeping it? [23:12] Ariana: Use Wine... is another option, and is quite simple. [23:12] balrog____: keeping what? [23:12] ok, wubi has the same problem [23:12] it only offers me my windows partitions to install to [23:12] not my linux oens === balrog____ is now known as balrog__ [23:13] ActionParsnip1: pulseaudio...it seems really useless, and ive never gotten it to work as it is marketed (this isnt the first time ive tried to get it to work) [23:13] Ariana: no, that's not a problem. That's how it works. [23:13] hey guys [23:13] i believe i am in need of some help [23:13] but i've got an ext3 and a swap partition waiting [23:13] hey anyone, im running ubuntu on a core2 quad q6600 and going into system monitor, i only see one CPU [23:13] Ariana: the windows OS can only read and write to NTFS unless you install fs-driver, which is why its not showing the space as an option [23:13] why is that [23:13] i have an smp kernel [23:13] Ariana delete those [23:13] balrog__: i use alsa, tried and tested [23:13] Jared: just state the question/s :-) [23:13] ubuntu has a great partition manager [23:13] so, you're saying i have to burn a CD, basically? [23:13] Ariana: it'd save you a tonne of issues [23:14] I've been stuck using vista for the past 7 months and i'm fed up with it. I need help configuring ndiswrapper for a WUSB300N linksys usb wireless adapter so i can get on linux again... i miss my 3d desktop and i'm going insane. [23:14] Ariana: you can install fs-driver from www.fs-driver.org [23:14] and installing from the CD wont change my boot sector? [23:14] ActionParsnip1: delete windows [23:14] and i have no clue how to use ndiswrapper >..> [23:14] Ariana dont be so paranoid [23:14] Ariana: and your ext3 formatted partions will be available to windows [23:14] ActionParsnip1: "forget" PA then, its just a waste of time for me then. hopefully someday it isnt, but that day seems to be a long ways off. thanks for your help. [23:14] also Jared you can get a 3d desktop for windows ;) [23:14] You cna use wubi to install to a different paritiion, Ariana, but not an ext3 one, as ActionParsnip pointed out. [23:14] Ariana just delete your dang ext3 partitions already! [23:14] that fs-driver is not compatible with vista [23:14] hello? [23:14] Ariana: it will on the USB as thats where itts being installed to [23:15] i have tried it [23:15] i'm using xp not vista [23:15] its not the same... 15,000 frames a second on glxgears > vista lol [23:15] hi Imahilus [23:15] Hy there, still got my problem :D, no buttons in my window title, using metacity [23:15] hey [23:15] Ariana you know that even when the mbr is changed - ie: lilo or grub, that it can be restore with windows own tools? [23:15] anyway, anyone know how to configure ndiswrapper ? [23:15] guys, i know you dread hearing this; i'm a linux noob with an Ndiswrapper problem. [23:15] hi.. I'm following this guide but I can't find the script on the server https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions [23:15] yes mustan, i had that happen once before, but had to reinstall windows to get it back [23:15] maybe the documentation is out of date ? [23:15] Ariana: if you are only boting P i really dont understand why you are worried about the bot sector. It can be easily repaired with you Pcd with a simple fixmbr then fixbot job done [23:15] actionparsnip1 do you know of a driver or program that will do the samething that ariana is trying to do [23:15] Ariana: no, you didn't have to. You may have done that, but it was unnecessary. [23:15] anarchomaniac: we have the same problem lol, im not quite a noob but ive never done ndis xD [23:15] this channel moves too fast [23:16] don't suppose anybody could help me with a (wireless) network issue?

[23:24] bummer, could've used some help =) [23:24] that's correct john_OAS . thanks for the help [23:24] ask | Imahilus [23:24] fyi it's 6 internal drives [23:24] it is wireless related [23:24] 1 isn't working on top of that [23:24] Hi. Could someone help me out? [23:24] perhaps wired aswell, can't test that though [23:24] can Ubuntu get me a girlfriend? [23:24] for an unknown reason [23:25] yes, ubuntu can [23:25] lol [23:25] Time`s_Witness: try them or find out about them. also I think there will be a plugin for PIdgin [23:25] cool [23:25] lela star? [23:25] doubtful [23:25] pvtpete: Check the permission on the script as ActionParsnip said. Make sure it's where you think it is and with the right name. [23:25] Its good but its not all powerful [23:25] Time`s_Witness: and MSN plus is a load of rubbish, it tends to put spyware or other rubbish on peoples computers as well, even if they say no to the sponser program [23:25] its actually better than windows o.o' [23:25] i am trying to figure out if there is a method to upgrade compiz on hardy, via .deb or repos, to a newer version than 0.7.6 [23:25] i could really use a pointer here. the ubuntu packages labeled imagemagick and graphicsmagick are installing documentation but nothing else???? [23:26] according to the doc it should be cd [23:26] wget http://media.ubuntu-nl.org/scripts/diskmounter [23:26] does anyone know of a windows driver that will work with vista business? [23:26] i know that and i agree with that sebsebseb, i use that functionality alot though [23:26] thats why im asking for linux's version :P [23:26] Time`s_Witness: it's good your looking into alternatives, but there is a way you can have MSN plus in Ubuntu well kind of [23:26] @ trin: what kind of a driver? [23:26] I tried that but it told me.. wget http://media.ubuntu-nl.org/scripts/diskmounter [23:26] --2009-03-22 23:05:49-- http://media.ubuntu-nl.org/scripts/diskmounter [23:26] Resolving media.ubuntu-nl.org... failed: Name or service not known.

[23:26] I have installed Ubuntu using Wubi. what i'm not understanding is that they keep saying "try" it. I want it installed. How do I do that? [23:26] <_VIM_> !ppa | arizona (maybe try this).... [23:26] arizona (maybe try this)....: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [23:26] i dont want to se wine for msn in linux [23:26] thanks [23:26] or anything similar. i might use it for other applications eventually.. but avoid to max [23:27] I have installed Ubuntu using Wubi. what i'm not understanding is that they keep saying "try" it.

See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [23:27] oO, sry. [23:27] Time`s_Witness: no not WIne, a Windows virtual machine instead. and yes I know Windows LIve Messenger or both with MSN plus, would be a sucky reason for a virtual machine or even to use Wine if they would work there [23:27] I have installed Ubuntu using Wubi. what i'm not understanding is that they keep saying "try" it. I want it installed. How do I do that? [23:27] @ Scott Galinsky: I used the live CD, theres this big icon named 'install ubuntu', that does just that [23:27] Time`s_Witness: tried amsn [23:27] I think that I did that. When I was in windows I ran the EXE [23:27] what would you guys suggest as the best bootloader then for use with both linux and windows? [23:27] apt-get install graphicsmagick only results in some things being put in /usr/share/doc/graphicsmagick ... NOTHING else. what gives? seriously, it installed just fine yesterday [23:27] ActionParsnip1: he wants a partcular feature [23:27] And then it installed [23:27] lol, if im going to use VM in linux i better not to install linux, im at windows with VM for linux now ;) [23:27] preferably a nice good looking one [23:28] does that mean I'm done? [23:28] sebsebseb: bah [23:28] that will instull ubuntu under windows I believe === Guest68702 is now known as [GuS] [23:28] not sure if that is what you're after? [23:28] Scott, Boot from the CD, install from there. If you can boot ubuntu without the CD afterwards, you're done! [23:28] Time`s_Witness: lol your running Ubuntu inside Windows? [23:28] Ariana: grub is fine, i wouldnt worry about looks, its on the screen for a few seconds [23:28] grub is good [23:28] Time`s_Witness: well good for trying, but then you should partition your hard disk for a real install latero n [23:29] hai guise! [23:29] ActionParsnip - hey. How can I get the diskmounter script ? the address in the documentation doesnt appear to work for me [23:29] yea im trying to get to know how to get the basic comodity for it before actually moving. its not like i would feel confortable if i wouldnt know how to connect to the network for instance ;) [23:29] actionparsnip1 even :) [23:29] <_VIM_> I'd rather see people using Ubuntu in Windows via Vmware/Vbox over that wubi thing [23:29] but that's the worse case of all. just to give the example :) [23:29] Ariana: i'd go by functionality http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_boot_loaders [23:29] Time`s_Witness: oh you got wireless? [23:29] oh fuck this [23:29] jesus christ [23:29] no, sebsebseb, so yea its automated.. i didnt know that though ;) [23:30] Time`s_Witness: your running wireless? [23:30] pvtpete: never heard of it, just mount it yourself, if the partitions are internal then ad lines to /etc/fstab [23:30] ah [23:30] but my fstab file has been wiped actionparsnip1 [23:30] it's just coming up blank [23:31] producing an error on boot that I have ton control-d [23:31] out of [23:31] tritium: he swore yeah, but he got annoyed with his issue. a proper ban? [23:31] no. but i didn't know that wired is automated :) we even need to /mount some devices so ... O.o :P dunno if you have felt the weird sensation, its hard moving to somethign else when used windows for all life [23:31] pvtpete: http://media.ubuntu-nl.org/ doesnt exist [23:31] sebsebseb: yes, proper [23:31] is there a way to make "hide join/part" in xchat the default behavior and to activate it on a channel by channel basis? ubuntu 8.10 amd64 [23:31] so the documentations wrong ? [23:31] tritium: only thing with that, if new users get banned from the suppourt channel, that actsaully wanted help, that could put them off Ubuntu? [23:32] hmm ok [23:32] pvtpete: You should be able to create a new fstab, if the old one is truly gone. An fstab entry is more straightforward the the script. [23:32] pvtpete: the domain whatever you are reading doesnt exist [23:32] hmm ok [23:32] <_VIM_> sebsebseb: they've been doing this for 4 years, im sure they must be doing something right :) [23:32] from hand [23:33] Time`s_Witness: yes the ethernet should just work [23:33] pvtpete: if you want i can give you my fstab and yuo can modify it to use as your own [23:33] or is there a command for that John_OAS ? :) [23:33] ok [23:33] sebsebseb: he's not new. #ubuntu-ops if you have further questions. This is not the proper forum. [23:33] Which package provides perlcc? apt-cache search perlcc libperl-dev but that doesn't have it. apt-file search perlcc only lists perl-doc-html [23:33] that'd be great. Thans ActionParsnip1 and John_OAS [23:33] *thanks [23:33] pvtpete: http://pastebin.com/f74eec232 [23:33] pvtpete: you'll need sudo fdisk -l to show partitions [23:33] ok [23:33] and then just copy and paste [23:33] right ? [23:34] Time`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 install [23:34] pvtpete: you wil need to change the disk uuids too [23:34] tritium: the proper channel you meant, and indeed at that [23:34] sebsebseb: forum in the generic sense. [23:34] pvtpete: and if you drive isnt /dev/sda then that will need changing [23:34] pvtpete: and if you have your partitions ordered different, that needs changing too [23:35] tritium: ah ok, and subject over [23:35] yea, 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 now [23:35] All of that is under fdisk -l though right ? [23:35] Time`s_Witness: yeah put 9.04 on for real, and do Ext4 as the partition. Ext4 is pretty new, no Ext4 in 8.10 [23:35] Time`s_Witness: partition? yes the file system for it [23:35] Anyone know of a good stability test for ubuntu? (Similar to prime95) ? [23:36] ActionParsnip1 : Will it also preserve network shares as I'm using the machine as a backup raid device [23:36] Time`s_Witness: 9.04 is next Ubuntu released at the end of April [23:36] oh 9.04 out? didn't know O.o [23:36] no it's not see above [23:36] Hi, gcleric_ [23:36] ah. k! [23:36] pvtpete: folders shared on the local machine are not the responsibility of fstab [23:37] pvtpete: if the system mounts network shares you will need to add those extra [23:37] ok, have to reboot now, wish me luck [23:37] 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] cause based on past experience, bad things happen upon reboot [23:37] Time`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] ActionParsnip1: to the fstab file [23:37] ? === eric_ is now known as Etherael === [GuS] is now known as Me [23:38] none 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 :P === Me is now known as Guest92118 [23:38] dont know about Xubuntu [23:39] pvtpete: 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 that [23:39] Time`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 out [23:40] hmm okay :) Thanks for the info sebsebseb. will take a look :P [23:40] Time`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 anyway [23:40] sebsebseb - is ext4 really ready? I thought that team discovered a serious data loss situation. fixed? [23:40] ActionParsnip1 : so not fstab then :) [23:40] mustangg: yes I read about that, but I think that's nearly fixed now [23:40] I'm looking for help creating an ethernet bridge, this is my setup: xbox 360<--wired connection-->Ubuntu Desktop<--wireless connection<--wireless router [23:41] I've already tried brctl but it doesn't seem to work [23:41] mustangg: find out more about Ext4 and Jaunty in #ubuntu+1 ,because to much of that here, would be off topic [23:41] pvtpete: no the config will be in /etc/samba/smb.conf if you use samba or wherever else if you use other sharing technologies [23:41] does anybody know about Back|Track 4? [23:41] pvtpete: fstab is not used to configure folder sharing on a system [23:41] nubuntu: yes, not got it yet though [23:42] ok, Thanks a bunch ActionParsnip1 :) [23:42] I'll give it a go [23:42] Can anyone help with the ethernet bridge? [23:42] Greencoat421: what do you need the bridge for, exactly? [23:42] Time`s_Witness: heh I could tell you loads of good apps to install :) [23:42] why doesn't my amsn plus show near clock anymore ? :S I Could "hide" it there instead of having it at "toolbar" lol [23:42] sebsebseb think I will :) [23:43] I'm looking for help creating an ethernet bridge, this is my setup: xbox 360<--wired connection-->Ubuntu Desktop<--wireless connection<--wireless router [23:43] I'm having network lag every now and again under ubuntu 8.10.. anybody have any idea why this is? or how to fix? searched quite a bit, couldn't find relevant topics [23:43] Greencoat421: okay, you just repeated, which doesn't answer the question. [23:43] Time`s_Witness: use alltray maybe [23:43] so... what exactly does it mean if i get a seg fault on apt-get? [23:43] cached: funky memory use usually [23:44] ActionParsnip1: what can i do to fix it? [23:44] Gnea: I have my xbox and ubuntu desktop in my room [23:44] alltray is usefull =D Thanks ActionParsnip1 [23:44] right next to each other [23:44] Hi [23:44] cached: try: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install [23:44] hy,all [23:44] !fixapt [23:44] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [23:44] Greencoat421: are you trying to assume that I'm suuposed to automatically understand what you're trying to do?

[23:45] Greencoat421: your in the wrong channel, unless you watn to run Ubuntu on your Xbox :D which I think can be done yes [23:45] because I don't know what I'm doing [23:45] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1103472 [23:45] comment plz [23:45] okay, now we're getting somewhere [23:45] all I want to do is connect to xbox live [23:45] Gnea: he is off topic see [23:45] Gnea: he is in wrong channel [23:45] sebsebseb: incorrect.
