[00:00] could anybody help me with a ubuntu network issue? (v8.10) [00:00] please help, I've had this problem for over a month now... can't mute my microphone, but can't get it to work with TeamSpeak... please help [00:00] John_OAS: what errors do you get when you try log on? [00:00] the-newby: when you spell my nick correctly, you message gets highlighted. That makes a conversation easier to follow [00:00] !ask | Imahilus [00:00] Imahilus: 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. :-) [00:00] melik: sudo apt-get install ntfstools [00:00] melik: the best we have is "ntfsresize -fi /dev/sdXY" (replacing XY with your partition info), which is the check that happens before resizing (that command doesn't actually resize with those options). For a full check, you should boot Windows (thems the breaks when you use a Microsoft propreitary filesystem). [00:00] uupps,, sorry, typing error, [00:00] No error, I'm just directed staight back to the login screen. [00:01] John_OAS: check you are the owner and that your home dir is chmodded 750 throughout [00:01] @ ActionParsnip1: my network connection 'drops' for 4~5 seconds every now and again, depending on network traffic (more traffic -> more often) [00:01] Same for Ctrl-Alt-N logins. INcorrect password does result in an incorrect password message. [00:01] the-newby: :) Just type oC and hit key... [00:01] Hello, is the command and package kerneltop ever meant to be a working package? [00:02] Imahilus: try a different driver, or some options on the driver to make it better [00:02] I can't login do do that, will a boot CD give me appropriate permissions to check and correct that. [00:02] please help, I've had this problem for over a month now... can't mute my microphone, but can't get it to work with TeamSpeak... please help [00:02] driver? o.o [00:02] it worked out of the box, and it has no drivers listen in the hardware manager anymore [00:02] the-newby: to answer the question: sorry, don't know of 2.12 version. Intrepid gives 2.7-1, and there are only updates regarding security vulnerabilities etc. [00:02] (new to ubuntu) [00:02] John_OAS: you can certainly chmod -R 750 /home/folder [00:03] oCean_: yes, i will in future, may i be forgiven for this time ? :) [00:03] Imahilus: then run: sudo lshw -C network [00:03] the-newby: most certainly :) [00:03] Imahilus: ok, microphones and other sound issues, tend to just need configuring in Ubuntu, no drivers needed [00:03] Imahilus: that wil show you the driver you are using, you can then use that to websearch, are you fully updated? [00:03] yes [00:03] does anyone know how i can force windows to view my linux partition i am using vista business [00:03] trin: yes [00:04] trin: however if you let it view your / partition it would be like running admin/root on it, and that means if you delete the wrong file, you could get Ubuntu issues [00:04] so for now , i thnx for the help so far, i will try to install the new version, after checking the libs [00:04] ActionParsnip1: fully updated, looking for the driver bits now [00:04] bye ,for now.O:-) [00:04] trin: also with the viruses for Windows, you could get one that would wipe Windows out as well as your Linux partition, if you do that [00:05] trin: http://www.fs-driver.org/ [00:05] Dreamglider: you should warn people like I did first :) not just give them that link [00:05] trin: Ubuntu can read and write to your Vista NTFS partition by the way [00:05] i tried that one and windows tells me i have to reformat the drive [00:06] sebsebseb: true [00:06] trin: and you could have a data parttion that you share between both of them [00:06] trin: ok well it's very stable now. and that's been over 2 years [00:06] trin: the read and write NTFS driver [00:06] trin: http://www.fs-driver.org/download/Ext2IFS_1_11a.exe you could run the installer with compatibility so it runs under XP compatibility [00:06] trin: better to make a partition that you share between both OS's [00:06] ActionParsnip1: driver=ipw2200 driverversion=1.2.2kmprq firmware=ABG:9.0.2.6 (Mar 22 2005) ip=192.168.1.100 latency=64 link=yes maxlatency=24 mingnt=3 module=ipw2200 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11g [00:06] I have 6 GB of memory. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 (32-bit). It is showing 2 GB of memory. I need it to use as much as 32-bit can access (3 or 3.5 GB). Can anybody help me? [00:06] please help, I've had this problem for over a month now... can't mute my microphone, but can't get it to work with TeamSpeak... please help [00:06] trin: or make a seperate home, and let Vista have access to that one as well, instead of / [00:07] tho i dont like the fs-driver, it's like you have to "download" the files on the ext partition. [00:07] on-of * [00:07] asc: you need the server edition or 64bit ubuntu [00:07] how do i update my dvdrom's bios? [00:07] ActionParsnip1: actually have no clue as to search wether its up to date [00:08] trird that actionparsnip1 [00:08] Imahilus: according to the ipw2200 site you have the latest veriosn [00:08] i need to recreate an mdadm config for a soft-raid(1) on 8.04. the raid is intact, but the system drive crapped out and i lost the original raid config. is there a quick way to reconstruct it without losing the data on the raid disks? [00:08] drats [00:08] trin: yes you have to give it a letter on Windows, and re boot, before the driver takes effect, once you got it installed [00:09] ActionParsnip1: incompatibility with the linksys router perhaps? [00:09] i assigned it "z" [00:09] trin: hang on [00:09] Imahilus: ahhhh, if you sudo ifdown your other network devices its better [00:09] gartral: go to the manufacturers website and download the update (If there is one) chances are youll have to do the update in Windows. [00:09] Imahilus: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=58721 [00:09] trin: why not run Vista instead Ubuntu, if you got enough RAM? [00:09] trin: inside Ubuntu [00:09] trin: Vista business so I am assuming your not playing games [00:10] correct [00:10] trin: how much RAM do you have? [00:10] 4gb [00:10] ActionParsnip1: thanks! =) [00:10] trin: perfect [00:10] please help, I've had this problem for over a month now... can't mute my microphone, but can't get it to work with TeamSpeak... please help [00:10] hey is there any program for ubuntu so you can see tv satelites programs on pc, there are som programs that works on windows just wondering if ubuntu have something similiar [00:10] ActionParsnip1: afraid its getting late here, so I'm saving the link to try 'tomorrow' [00:10] ok Gnea, that didn't work [00:10] trin: this is a very good idea, use Ubuntu as your host OS, and if your going to have Vista, do it in a virtual machine. that way you can just copy it like a normal operating system file as well. and do a clean from malicious programs backup like that [00:11] trin: and everything will work fine except 3D programs, but your not doing that anyway [00:11] matrix__: mythtv will use a tv card nicely [00:11] sorry if I haven't been able to help I had a person that had a lot to do [00:11] trin: well I assume your not? [00:11] not to watch from pc to tv i mean to watch live tv programs on ubuntu [00:11] sebsebseb: "you're" :) [00:11] Hi. I have a Option 3G network card, which works properly. The only problem is that I have to start the computer with this USB modem plugged in, else Ubuntu won't discover it. Any ideas to fix this? [00:11] are there any known issues with ubuntu 8.04 with a previously working microsoft pptp vpn setup suddenly refusing to connect? [00:12] eseven3: ;) [00:12] Hi, how come when I install nvidia-180 and login, I get a black screen? [00:12] matrix__: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0844653/ any TV show on TV is on this site [00:12] trin: also being able to run both OS's on the same computer at the asme time, is better than dual booting surely? of course depending on what apps you want to run from Windows, Wine may be good enough [00:12] is there a networking channel? [00:12] yes [00:12] #networking [00:12] hey! [00:12] salah: when you plug it in run: sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart [00:12] please help, I've had this problem for over a month now... can't mute my microphone, but can't get it to work with TeamSpeak... please help [00:12] what the heck are you talking about [00:12] Greencoat421: that's where I was going to tell you to go earlier [00:13] i want to watch satelite programs on ubuntu [00:13] are you stupid or what [00:13] the only reason that i have it installed in a separte partition os because of my drafting software and my wife who also uses this [00:13] hi [00:13] <_VIM_> !attitude | matrix__ [00:13] matrix__: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [00:13] the virtual machine would confuse her to no end [00:13] does anybody know starterbar [00:13] trin: what is drafing software? [00:13] from gdesklets? [00:13] nvidia 180.29 won't work correctly [00:13] ActionParsnip1, is there no possibility to make Ubuntu do this automaticly? [00:13] matrix__: u were talking about TV I gave you a one shop stop for all programs on TV [00:13] trin: convert your wife to Ubuntu :) even non technical people can use Ubuntu, with enough help from someone [00:14] yeah when it WORKS [00:14] all I wanna do is mute my microphone! [00:14] sebsebseb so what's the channel name? [00:14] wait does NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.29-pkg1.run even work on intrepid? [00:14] salah: you could write a script that polls the usb and runs the command if it changes [00:14] trin: and you could put desktoip apps for all programs she uses, and then probably be ok? [00:14] go to sound setting [00:14] ! [00:14] iam talking about software like you can download for windows and then you can install the software and watch tv satelites programs that brodcasts live [00:14] Greencoat421: #networking [00:14] shay1: i used the pkg0.run file [00:14] <_VIM_> so get a mic with a mute/volume switch :P [00:14] i design houses on the side [00:14] please help, I've had this problem for over a month now... can't mute my microphone, but can't get it to work with TeamSpeak... please help [00:15] how to i get wine up and running?

Any ideas, or particular logs I could check that would be informative. [00:15] :( [00:15] salah: you could have a script to run the command and a link on your desktop to run it with a simple click [00:15] trin: ok well why do you or she have to access UBuntu's partition from Windows? [00:15] (one day I'll remember to use a ?) [00:15] John_OAS: could create an extra user and add it to the admin group, log in as that and troubleshoot [00:16] ActionParsnip1, sorry, one more thing: when I plug it out, the computer completely freezes [00:16] maddwesty: you add wines own server/repo to Ubuntu [00:16] maddwesty: then you always get latest version [00:16] salah: sounds like your usb management is a bit screwy, are you fully updated? [00:16] maddwesty: http://www.winehq.org [00:16] !rep [00:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about rep [00:16] !repo [00:16] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [00:16] sebsebseb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:16] ActionParsnip1, yes last update two days ago [00:16] ActionParsnip1: see all kinds of goodies [00:17] Hi [00:17] my main job that i do is design websites i do most of the work in dreamweaver for now as i am still trying to figure out the editors in ubuntu [00:17] ActionParsnip1 - How to create a new user for the OS on disk, while booted from Live CD? [00:17] turns out it's a long standing bug, thanks for nothing [00:17] trin: Dreamweaver works rather nicely under Wine [00:17] trin: see above about getting wine [00:17] John_OAS: you'll need to chroot the terminal so it works on the internal disk and not the ramdrive of the live cd [00:17] trin: vim is amazing when you get used to it. :) [00:17] Why some entries in my repo list are commented out? "Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:", even when they are ubuntu-security [00:18] Hello all. [00:18] even cs 4? [00:18] Drknezz: Because when you installed, you didn't have internet access to verify that they were up. You should uncomment them. [00:18] trin: to be honest I think all website editors suck, that's why I hand code, but if I was to be making a much better site, then Dreamweaver sure [00:18] * MarGarina doesn't trust wine [00:18] Drknezz: when its done it thing, go back in and uncomment [00:18] Flannel, ok, thx [00:18] ;) [00:18] * ActionParsnip1 loves wine [00:18] trin: not sure about CS 4, but http://www.appdb.winehq.org [00:18] Are we debating about coding sites? [00:18] nw pinot noir is my favorite ;P [00:18] Anon: no, ubuntu support [00:19] trin: remember you can run Windows also inside Ubuntu for 2D apps instead of dual booting :d [00:19] Ah. [00:19] sorry, mandatory wine joke was necessary [00:19] last i checked it was not on the list [00:19] www.freeware.de/download/readon-tv-movie-radio-player_36967.html something like this just for ubuntu [00:19] =) [00:19] So what usually happens here?

[00:19] i reinstalled it [00:19] Anon: you ask a question, and people answer, or you help others [00:19] I found that HAL probably don't unmount the device. Is there any possibilities to make HAL mount and unmount automaticly? All other USB devices works perfectly [00:19] Anon: people ask support questions and they get answers, this is the official support channel for ubuntu [00:19] Ah, OK. [00:20] meoblast001, remove the gnash firefox plugin [00:20] So it's like the forums, only faster?

[00:21] trin: Blender for making movies yeah [00:22] <_VIM_> Blender pwns === SecretBnC is now known as Myidentityisasec [00:22] But there are some good tutorial sites for blender. [00:22] <_VIM_> just takes a bit to learn the interface [00:22] trin: yes that's why you dual boot [00:22] trin: however for 2D programs you can run them inside Ubuntu as I was saying [00:22] trin: why dual boot into Vista, unless you really have to? [00:22] trin: http://www.totallyblended.com/ - atrocious web design, good blender tutorials. [00:23] trin: I mean you want to be on Ubuntu most of the time don't you? even if that means your running a few Windows apps that are 2D, in Wine, comercial versions of Wine, or a Windows virtual machine? === Myidentityisasec is now known as Can [00:23] if it was not for my cheif arch. prog i would run windows in a vm [00:23] i am 95% of the time [00:24] trin: well Dreamweaver CS 4 in a VM :D [00:24] trin: or with Wine if it's got good enough suppourt [00:24] Torrent [00:24] LogicFan: it fell back to swfdec [00:24] doesn't dreamweaver cs4 work fine in a VM?

[01:48] buttons1: which should be the same place for hardy live cd as well === Guest42309 is now known as martyfuhry [01:48] Stepan1, do some ls -l /dev/scd0 and seperate ls -l /dev/scd1 === Howard is now known as Hfreiu [01:48] Merula, great now get all the updates, it should update kernel and wireless should work. [01:48] Hey does anyone know how to get beeping working in xchat? [01:49] is there a way to import an image file as a new version of an existing photo in F-Spot? [01:49] buttons1: 8.10???? oh yeah I am on 9.04 alpha6 :D ,but yes I think the same place for them all [01:49] fearful, yup, exactly -- sorry to give you so much grief! [01:49] zenlunatic: sorry, i dont follow [01:49] Merula, its alright it happens :) [01:49] cellofellow: I don't think so [01:49] buttons1: /usr/share/backgrounds [01:50] how do I find it when the cd isn't booted [01:50] Well, I'm gonna bug-out now. Have to go hammer away at the netbook... [01:50] :( F-Spot isn't picking up the .tif file that UFraw made. [01:50] buttons1: just boot it, and put the background in a partition. or get someone that uses hardy to send you it [01:50] Hm... anyone know if I can have both my built in speakers and my analog headphones (both on the same sound card) available to PulseAudio as separate devices? (ALSA has that nifty headphone switch, which makes me hope this is completely software controlled) [01:51] Stepan1, wait, do this... 'ls -l /media/cdrom && ls -l /media/cdrom && ls -l /media/cdrom1' and paste [01:51] Stepan1, wait, do this... 'ls -l /media/cdrom && ls -l /media/cdrom0 && ls -l /media/cdrom1' and paste [01:51] Stepan1, sorry my laptop keyboard is a PITA [01:51] buttons1: you can download the package - http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ubuntu-wallpapers === jsj0nes_ is now known as jsj0nes [01:51] * Received a CTCP VERSION from freenode-connect ??? [01:52] zenlunatic: why all the ls commands? why not just ls -l /media/cdrom*? [01:52] is it wise to use ubuntu as both a mail server AND a web server? [01:52] web/file [01:52] Mr_Cheese: That's part of freenode's connection process. Ask in #freenode if you want further details. [01:52] cellofellow, glad someone elses brain is working tonight :D [01:52] hay all. Does anyone know if there is a specific channel for the Aspire One and Ubuntu? I'm not new to Linux, but the mic on this notebook isn't playing nice (just makes a bunch of noise -squeeking'ish-). [01:52] thanks [01:52] CaptainMorgan, thats not a specific question for ubuntu [01:52] it depends on the load [01:52] generally, its wise to keep them separate [01:52] zenlunatic: http://paste.ubuntu.com/135732/, fyi:all those songs are on the drive that works, the drive that doesnt work has a nero cd in it [01:53] but if its just for a small office or whatever, its fine to keep them on one server [01:53] LogicFan, but Ubuntu can handle the load... ? [01:53] logicfan, is beeping in xchat broken on ubuntu? [01:53] Mr_Cheese: routine checks, that's normal [01:53] Hfreiu, not in my case [01:53] CaptainMorgan: no different to any other distro in that case [01:53] CaptainMorgan, of course. ubuntu can handle all server tasks. but really its the server software that is more important [01:53] tripitakit, which version of ubuntu and how did you do it [01:53] k [01:53] someone can help me with this problem http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/4387/problemsv.png with fonts??? [01:54] Hfreiu, intrepid and i guess it's out of the box [01:54] LogicFan, what do you think I'm talking about... ? it's the software I'm referring to... [01:54] CaptainMorgan, a buggy mail server isn't going to help you much if you run it on the most stable OS ever written [01:54] ok [01:54] and Ubuntu is not that OS [01:54] @tripitakit, it's not working for me. i chcked it in settings|preferences|chatting|alert [01:54] Hfreiu, i mean i dont remember if i had to swith it on in the preferences [01:55] oh [01:55] i'm 8.10 [01:55] too [01:55] Stepan1, no wonder they're the same... cdrom is linking to cdrom0 [01:55] bruce89, is any? i've found ubuntu to be very stable, using it for more than five years now [01:55] Hfreiu, i have no idea. check settings>preferences>sound [01:55] Hfreiu, it is set as auto [01:55] Stepan1, so screw them now all we have to care about is cdrom1 [01:55] what am i checking for, logicfan? [01:55] CaptainMorgan: it's probably not the *most* stable [01:56] I like ubuntu over fedora =P [01:56] agreed Hfreiu [01:56] zenlunatic: okay, hopefully its easy from here [01:56] CaptainMorgan, no offense, but if you're asking these kinds of questions seriously, you might not be the best person to run a mail/web server. unless its just a hobby. no mission critical kind of stuff [01:56] I love the package manager out of all I've tried :p [01:56] I have mixed feelings. I love fedora for my mythtv boxes than using ubuntu. (using mythdora) [01:57] meh i'll figure it out i gtg bye [01:57] LogicFan, unnecessary comment maybe? I've run web servers for many years, and I run networks of all kinds- I've just never successfully setup a mail server before- that's it. [01:57] Hello all [01:57] :D [01:57] hard to not take offense [01:58] Anyone able to assist me? [01:58] LogicFan, yeah no offense to you, but that was harsh and not something you should have said === marty is now known as Guest92403 [01:58] CaptainMorgan, sorry, i meant none, really. [01:59] !justask | Clone1 [01:59] Clone1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:59] Thats fear... lol [01:59] LogicFan, regardless, everyone has to start somewhere, doesnt matter what lvl of expertise CaptainMorgan is on... he came in here for a solution, not someone to tell him that his abilities wont allow him to [01:59] we wont tell you to shove off. ask away [01:59] Im having an issue when i installed ubuntu, it installed onto my laptop and it didnt make me register a login, or password.. and when i load it up it asks for it.. :\ [02:00] Clone1, I'm sure it did when it asked you for your name etc. [02:00] Mr_Cheese, i didn't say it wouldn't allow him to, just that it might not be the best. again, my apologies if i offended any one [02:00] Clone1, it would have asked you for your name and a password to use, chance are your user name is your name [02:00] Clone1, if not press alt + f2 and loging root shell and create a user adduser command [02:00] or did it as you to pull your user accounts from a windows [02:00] LogicFan, yeah thats ok [02:01] Clone1, ctrl + alt + f2 [02:01] er from windows [02:01] Stepan1, did you try putting the cd in the other drive? [02:01] I tried my window's login / password and that was a no go. [02:01] and whats the add user cmd? [02:01] by chance? [02:01] useradd [02:01] fearful: err, if he doesn't know his user password, he's even less likely to know the root password - especially given ubuntu doesn't have one by default... no? [02:01] useradd Clone1 ? [02:02] I thought it was adduser [02:02] Clone1: use adduser (if you can access a shell at all) [02:02] Clone1: just type "adduser username" [02:02] LjL, yea that's ture :\ but Clone1 are you sure ubuntu didn't ask you for details on the install it should have. [02:02] Yeah [02:02] Im definantly sure, [02:02] Clone1: well i have no idea why it hasn't [02:03] Clone1: i can try to fix it, though [02:03] did it ask you for the name and then the name of the computer? [02:03] zenlunatic: yes, here is the result for the same cd but switched to the other drive [02:03] Clone1: do you get a brief boot menu screen when you start your computer, just before the ubuntu logo shows up? [02:03] having some problems with my sound: my laptop speakers aren't working but my headphone jack sort of is. if i connect external speakers to my headphone jack and turn the volume on the external speakers up all the way i can hear it but its still pretty quiet...and before anyone asks, i already made sure that the volume on my computer is turned all the way up. any thoughts? [02:03] Yeah [02:03] It gives me an option, Longhorn Loader : Vista, and then Ubuntu [02:03] Vacca_foeda, make sure the PCM is all the way up [02:03] Clone1: ok, then in that menu, hit "e". it'll let you edit the Ubuntu booting options. select the longest line that you see, and hit "e" again. then add " init=/bin/bash" to the end of that line [02:04] Clone1: then finally hit "b" to boot. you should be dropped to a root terminal, where you can type "adduser username". then you can reboot (ctrl+alt+del or "exit"), and user that account [02:04] I've never had to the serious need to setup an office mail server before, always outsourced that need to hosting providers- not even where I work professionally do we deal with mail servers. running through the docs, I'm getting the feeling that the mail server should be separate from production/dev server- yet the docs also imply that ubuntu can handle them both at the same time- maybe it's an issue with the docs [02:04] can i tie the volume buttons on my laptop to the PCM instead of the Master audio ? [02:05] ok, im getting spammed with all the info, can we take it to a PM to clear it up a lil LjL? [02:05] Clone1: oh actually, type also "adduser username admin" to make your new user an administrator, you'll need that [02:05] Dreamglider, yes go to System > Preferences > Sound [02:05] Clone1: ok, you might want to write it down too [02:05] 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 [02:05] LjL, then he should give that new user sudoer permissions that i find a bit hard [02:05] yeah im grabbing paper / pen [02:05] fearful: already checked the pcm [02:05] Dreamglider, theres the options at the bottom, you can choose one by ctrl + click and delesect one the same way [02:06] is there a way to turn up the base volume? [02:06] Vacca_foeda, PCM + Master should be up [02:06] fearful: both are up but its still really really soft [02:06] Stepan1, do this and report 'ls -a /dev/scd* [02:07] tripitakit: it's not hard, "adduser username admin" will do that [02:07] tripitakit: which is done by adding to the admin group [02:07] and nothing from the laptop speakers only the headphone jack [02:07] zenlunatic: /dev/scd0 === lib is now known as lagann_ [02:08] LjL thats tha point, creating the user in the admin group [02:08] fearful: the only listed slider is Master [02:08] tripitakit: why would it be hard? [02:08] bruce89, to add to admin he needs superuser permissions [02:09] tripitakit: you need superuser permissions to create *any* user to begin with [02:09] Dreamglider, what is the option on the dropdown menu you are using above it [02:09] LjL, just if he had created ad normal user [02:09] *as [02:09] tripitakit: and in fact, i've given him instructions to boot into single-user root mode [02:09] fearful: Capture alsa pcm [02:09] Vacca_foeda, on a terminal type alsamixer -Dhw [02:10] LjL i see, and i agree.. i was arguing just about the new user permission [02:10] Dreamglider, try using the 'alsamixer' [02:10] fearful: ahh i figured it out [02:10] fearful: thanks [02:10] Dreamglider, ok your welcome. [02:10] hey all [02:10] !hi | Guest79618 [02:10] Guest79618: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[02:26] Like in vista? [02:26] like when it booted from pc? [02:26] Clone1: you can boot up a Ubuntu Live session from the CD [02:27] largeprime: ok the problem's not there, then it must really be in the medibuntu specific list. do "mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list ~/medibuntu.list.backup" to get it out of the way [02:27] largeprime: then try running "sudo apt-get update", and then see if synaptic works again [02:27] Clone1: by default it would boot that up [02:27] can you access an Ubuntu pc from a windows xp pc through remote access?

What bugs me the most is that others have sucessfully installed ubuntu on their A355D lappies.

It's a known one in my laptop. [03:32] Ndshacker: the system's logs are in /var/log/ use tail -f /var/log/syslog and wait for an error to showup. tail -f reads files as they are written to. [03:32] manny: did you activate the partner's repos in synaptic ?

I am running ubuntu [03:34] axisys: Please keep your links on topic and work safe. [03:34] H4ck3r: do you know some general programming? [03:34] yes [03:35] Khisanth: Thanks anyways for trying. I'm gonna investigate the possibility of X being confused by there being two different video drivers. [03:35] I mean I want to change the system like this: [03:35] Ndshacker: networkmanager is a prime suspect too imho. [03:35] cybertaur1, do you have build-essential? [03:35] arvind_khadri: okay, did the sudo command, now what? [03:35] H4ck3r: alright so the crypt function takes two arguments, the key and a salt, if the salt starts with $1$ it will use md5 [03:35] my point is it requires microsoft silverlight .. so what is the workaround? [03:35] fearful: i think so [03:35] BlackAeronaut: both are loaded? [03:35] networkmanager? [03:35] BlackAeronaut: check with lsmod [03:35] its says its not installed :s [03:35] axisys: there isn't one [03:36] cybertaur1, apt-cache policy build-essential [03:36] axisys: unless you install moon in Jaunty [03:36] cybertaur1, check first ;P [03:36] nickgarvey: I can generate a new user passwordwith md5 [03:36] DasEi: its takin a while with the "sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-restricted-modules-generic" [03:36] Ndshacker: installed doesn't mean it works correctly :) [03:36] how come "put display to sleep when inactive" doesnt work like it states it does. unless the desktop itself has focus it counts it as inactive. meaning any games i play wether they are in the repo or not end up making my monitor turn off [03:36] Khisanth: Okay. What exactly am I looking for here? [03:36] manny : np [03:36] bruce89: moon? [03:36] i sais "isnt" [03:36] fearful: it says it's installed, 11.4 or something like that [03:36] well I don't know the names of your drives so it's a bit hard to say [03:36] Atry, ah just a sec, it should have been sudo apt-get reinstall ubuntu-desktop [03:36] axisys: short for moonlight [03:36] also arvind_khadri: doesn't seem like the command did much. it --- that's what i was wondering :) [03:37] Ndshacker: ah. try it [03:37] cybertaur1, ok, did you unextract it already? [03:37] how do i install it? [03:37] H4ck3r: what are you trying to do exactly? be specific [03:37] nickgarvey: but what i'm asking now is how to change ubuntu to use only md5 instead of sha2: for example: I typed $passwd and I changed my password. The new password will be $1$ in /ec/shadow instead of $6$ [03:37] bruce89: only available in jaunty? [03:37] fearful: not yet but i can [03:37] arvind_khadri: invalid operation reinstall [03:37] AFAIK [03:37] cybertaur1, do so :p [03:37] !info moon [03:37] Package moon does not exist in intrepid [03:37] axisys: yes [03:37] Ndshacker: running a desktop or server? use synaptic GUI would be easiest. [03:37] mmk [03:38] fearful: done [03:38] cybertaur1, once extracted on the terminal cd to the directory and type ./configure [03:38] i think i may have fixed it [03:38] i told it to try dhcp [03:38] BlackAeronaut: did you make sure x is using the radeonhd driver or tried using the svga driver? [03:38] but it was set to manual before [03:38] fearful: and then make && make install? [03:38] Ndshacker: definetly try dhcp [03:38] fearful: also done [03:38] woah [03:38] wait, errors [03:38] cybertaur1, yea [03:38] Thats what its set to [03:38] I got errors [03:39] I have a Dell computer, when i reboot, the system hangs up with the message "Restarting system.", what can i do ? [03:39] cybertaur1, make and make install should be superuser [03:39] Ndshacker: where did you set it [03:39] fearful: "No package 'xorg-server' found". and apt-get install xorg-server "E: Couldn't find package xorg-server" [03:39] in the conf file [03:39] maxagaz, sounds like ACPI. does shutdown work? [03:40] H4ck3r: do you have a page that says what the difference algorithms are identified as in the shadow file, e.g. $1$ is md5 $6$ is sha2 [03:40] DasEi: ok its done but along the line it said Fail [03:40] Ndshacker: what/which .conf? [03:40] cybertaur1, hmm.. [03:40] yes [03:40] cybertaur1: xserver-xorg :) [03:40] fearful: also ./configure had another error, "No package 'fontsproto' found", and i can't install that with apt-get either [03:40] Khisanth: I wouldn't know how to do that. Sorry. [03:40] im getting permission denied by bash when trying to run a simple script out of my home dir [03:40] sprinkmeier_, yes, probably, how can I change this behaviour ? [03:40] manny: the driver package ? [03:40] my system is using $6$ which is SHA2 [03:40] /etc/network/interfaces [03:40] fearful: "xserver-xorg is already the newest version" [03:40] maxagaz, shotwoen probably works? confused... [03:40] yarr, arvind_khadri? [03:40] manny: the apt-get ? [03:41] DasEi: Kernel source for 2.6.27-14-generic not installed. Cannot install this module [03:41] Atry, just a min [03:41] BlackAeronaut: /etc/X11/xorg.conf should have a Section "Device" with Driver "radeonhd" under it [03:41] H4ck3r: I mean how do you know that is sha2? [03:41] akhay [03:41] maxagaz, s/shotwoen/shutdown/ [03:41] guys [03:41] ima restart [03:41] H4ck3r: I'm not doubting you I'm just looking for a source [03:41] see if that helps >.< [03:41] Khisanth: Oh. Duh. Wait one. [03:41] cybertaur1, yea I don't know why its asking you for these things, google it? I've never had to build this video driver to be honest :S [03:41] I searched on google [03:41] manny : huh, check again system > hardwaredrivers for your nvidia [03:41] fearful: here's the full error message, perhaps it'll help? http://pastebin.com/m16b819b8 [03:41] Atry, sudo apt-get --reinstall install [03:42] Ndshacker: my eth0 isn't even listed in that file but still gets dhcp [03:42] its the same as the old ones i had [03:42] hi everybody [03:42] okies [03:42] cybertaur1, thanks [03:42] bruce89: i just opened my guest jaunty .. i see libmoon, moonlight core plugin and moonlight mozilla plugin .. which one do I install?

[03:43] BlackAeronaut: no Driver line? O_o [03:43] bruce89: thnx [03:43] maxagaz, i asked if shutdown works and you replied "yes, probably". If shutdown works then ACPI is at least limping along (in which case you could always shut down and re-start instead of reboot). [03:43] Khisanth: Screwy, ain't it? [03:44] cybertaur1, hmm... ask around here maybe someone else can help because I don't know I don't have any of those installed either. [03:44] BlackAeronaut: heh try adding one :P [03:44] DasEi : im goin to restart and see what i get. [03:44] is that ok [03:44] cybertaur1, and we have the same video card :\ [03:44] fearful: yay and video works no problem for you? [03:44] Okay... Just not sure how itś supposed to look like. Been trying to find an example online. [03:44] sprinkmeier_, i misunderstood... shutdown doesn't work (unless shuting down manually) [03:44] Atry, hold on [03:44] Okies [03:44] Khisanth: Okay... Just not sure how itś supposed to look like. Been trying to find an example online. [03:44] manny : I don't get what you've done, gotta be more specific [03:44] BlackAeronaut: Driver "radeonhd" should do it [03:44] cybertaur1, yea no problem at all not even back with 7.10 (when I first started using) [03:44] im getting permission denied by bash when trying to run a simple script out of my home dir, yet i own it [03:45] BlackAeronaut: if you don't get anything from that try Driver "vga" [03:45] gartral: chmod +x blah.sh [03:45] DasEi:i did the a sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-restricted-modules-generic [03:45] Okay, I'll try that now and see what happens. [03:45] bruce89: so it has to have execute permissions, ok [03:46] DasEi: after activating the third party [03:46] maxagaz, darn, gotta run. sorry I can't hang around, but I don't know much ACPI so I probably wouldn't be a lot of use anyway. [03:46] cybertaur1: actually, you'll need the X headers [03:46] manny : now check again system > hardwaredrivers for your nvidia, is it there now ? [03:46] H4ck3r: when passwd.c is compiled, there are a bunch of macros that determine what algorithm it uses [03:46] thank you [03:46] bruce89: can you help me get them? [03:46] hi guys [03:47] cybertaur1: perhaps libx11-dev [03:47] it says aleady newest version but the version i see is 173 [03:47] nickgarvey: nvm, I just figured out we can use chpasswd with -c option to determine which kind of algorithm to be used [03:47] hii [03:47] DasEi: but i downloaded 180 [03:47] nickgarvey: however , passwd doesnt support this [03:47] manny : 180 ?? [03:47] bruce89: sudo apt-get install libx11-dev is already there [03:47] nickgarvey: :) [03:47] Khisanth: no dice. [03:47] BlackAeronaut: for either? [03:48] anything in the X11 log? [03:48] DasEi: on the file [03:48] manny : which file ?? [03:48] H4ck3r: passwd doesn't support chpasswd or doesn't support the algorithm you want to use? [03:48] ok guys, i got a big problem :|, who was helping me pre-reboot? [03:48] Khisanth: Haven found the appropriate line to put in for the radeon driver yet.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:13] Thank you bruce : [04:13] Jared-> now you need to set up a dhcpd server towards your desktop, so it can dole out ip address in the range of 192.168.0.X [04:13] actually, using GRUB without Linux is silly [04:13] :)* [04:13] rww, says that Type 'http://wicd.sourceforge.net/' is not known on line 51 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list [04:13] Yomic: there's a way of reinstalling the Windows bootloader in the recovery console, but that's for ##windows [04:14] bruce, doesn't matter.

[04:14] What is a good simple calendar program for Ubuntu, to remind of things I need to do on certain days of the month? [04:14] Jared-> then you also have to do the forwarding and masquerading per the wiki instructions [04:14] Yomic: boot a windows cd recovery mode and use /fixmbr then re-install ubuntu [04:14] rww, I know how to do that.

[04:15] cpudan, no floppys. Just CDs. [04:15] Jared -> no guis, wireless is your wlan0, dhcpd is the dhcp server [04:15] USB might work too. [04:15] Yomic: you need to boot off some kind of windows CD to do fixboot then fixmbr [04:15] Jared-> i have to step out for a few, google for that dhcpd if you dont have it installed [04:15] sorry tritium maybe my english is bad, waht's does it means, it's off topic ? [04:15] Yomic: ##windows for more info as it is off topic here [04:16] jacquesdupontd: not appropriate for this channel [04:16] it means it's only, faq or support on ubuntu thats it ? [04:16] brous: ah, so instead of sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1, i should do sudo ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.1? [04:16] cpudan, I understand. Thanks for the help [04:16] jacquesdupontd: yes [04:16] brous: alright thanks so far [04:16] ok so no way ot have an answer for that, could at least ask if you could know where to ask ? [04:16] jacquesdupontd : j #ubuntu-offtopic [04:16] Jared-> nope, your wlan is connected to the ISP, so its your eth0 you need to activate for your dhcp server [04:16] oh ok [04:16] hi [04:16] thx guys and sorry for disturrbing [04:17] i just installed ubuntu on my macbook, now i can't get into OS X [04:17] anyone know how to fix this?

Kewl [05:12] mus be some very long lines [05:12] bobbie4__: Depends entirely on what you count as "Ubuntu." [05:12] radsy: is this what you would suggest? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MemoryTest [05:12] bobbie4__ : First you'd have to try to define what makes up Ubuntu. All the packages it knows? Just the ones installed by default? The desktop version? Server version? I don't know the answers, but it's surely in the millions. [05:12] Just the kernel and minimum install? ALL the optiona packages? Something between 'em? [05:13] Hah yeah, JKoltner beat me to it.

Tar, however, is a useful command to package whole directories into single files, the tarballs, actually. [06:10] or it's just a ball of tar ;) [06:10] .. hey all im trying to boot a live cd on a windows 95 machine 12mb f ram .. i want to save data that is in there .. should i give up on it or just try it ? [06:10] lgc: so tarball is like a zipped folder? [06:10] trancefat, yep. Pretty much. [06:10] lgc: and tar is th command to make tarball? [06:11] trancefat, indeed. [06:11] lgc: thanks [06:11] trancefat: tar cvf filename.tar foldername [06:12] trancefat: and if you want to compress it, you can use "tar czvf" or just gzip the .tar file afterwards [06:12] trancefat, no problem. But tar can get quite sophisticated too. I don't know if zip can do so much. [06:12] i would recommend using file-roller (the gnome archiver). it utilizes tar. [06:13] better yet, learn to use the commandline [06:13] macman, 12MB? [06:13] hello, somebody can help me to configure my CRT?

So, can you repeat your problem please? [06:14] i tried to edit xorg.conf [06:14] lgc: and deb is like an .exe? [06:15] trancefat, no way! [06:15] lgc: oh [06:15] my problem starts when i install ati privative drivers [06:15] trancefat, in general, linux executables don't come with a suffix. [06:15] didik [06:15] pablo--, install the restricted ones [06:15] trancefat: deb is just a package format that includes a database so you can see what packages are installed. [06:15] but libre driver doest works for me [06:15] lgc, i want to get some stuff off a windows 95 machine using a linux cd .. ubuntu seems to slow for it .. any other live cd i can use ? [06:15] similar to rpm on redhat [06:16] my machine won't start with fgrlx [06:16] pablo--, which card? [06:16] yes, it will start, but my CRT dont support the freqs [06:16] ladyfantasy: ok, thanks... so i have to untar it and use it directly? [06:16] asus ati hd [06:16] 3650 [06:16] pablo--, you googled about it?? [06:16] trancefat: no, you install .deb files with the dpkg command [06:16] trancefat, a .deb file is some sort of package that you feed to the 'dpkg' instruction in order to have in installed on your machine, nice and clean. As in 'dpkg --install chessman' (I just made up the name, though.) [06:16] yes, a lot [06:16] when i reboot the permissions i set for /dev/sda reset. how do i change the default permissions? [06:16] trancefat, which package?

CDs are lousy with respect to access speed. [06:17] would i need to learn java to use this javabased server called Red5 (flash media server equivalent) to create a mic input recorder? [06:18] what live cd should i use for a windows 95 machine with 128mb ram [06:19] macman, if you want the full monty, then go to distrowatch.org. [06:19] macman: maybe Xubuntu [06:19] i just want to mount it and rsync the info [06:20] macman, this is a stupid question, but is your windows still usable?

(Another stupid question.) [06:24] hey folks I need to find libqtcore4 package... can anyone help me pls [06:24] yea [06:25] macman, wouldn't it be easy to copy the stuff into the USB stick? [06:25] josh-l, libqt4-core [06:25] macman, you don't need linux for that. [06:25] i want to use it [06:26] lgc, the windows box is to slow to do anything [06:26] oh thanks LordKow how did you find it? [06:26] josh-l, i searched in synaptic [06:26] macman, that's another story. [06:26] LordKow: with what parametrs? [06:27] josh-l, i simply searched for qt4 and started looking at the results until i found the package you were looking for [06:27] josh-l, and i must say libqt4core should exist... libqt4-core is a "dummy" package but it should still get you what you are looking for. "sudo apt-get install libqt4core" will install the same thing [06:28] macman, if you want a really small linux you might want to try Puppy Linux or DSL (Damn-Small Linux). You might get some gain in speed there. But I suspect the machine is the culprit. [06:28] LordKow: weird, maybe i already had it installed then thx [06:28] LordKow: trying to build firefox-qt [06:29] josh-l, sorry its libqtcore4 [06:29] Let me repost this: My boot process takes forever because starting the ntp server (or something like that) seems to almost grind to a halt. Is there a way to tweak this? Thanks. [06:29] josh-l, if you're trying to compile it you will likely need libqt4-dev [06:30] anyone know a way to update BIOS sans windows? [06:30] yeah got that one LordKow thx [06:31] bonez46, on a Dell? [06:31] no, it's a self made system..

Dell has upgraded BIOS that can be loaded with apt-get, if I recall correctly. But I'm sure you can.

I believe the something you are looking for is "browser" [06:34] omg [06:34] hello [06:34] i have not built firefox for a long time but browser sounds right [06:34] spanish ubuntu page is a sh1t [06:34] anybody installed x-wrt on ubuntu? [06:34] bonez46, try an open source version: http://www.openfirmware.info/Welcome_to_OpenBIOS. [06:35] okay I'll try that thank [06:35] s [06:35] anybody installed x-wrt on ubuntu? [06:36] what is x-wrt? [06:36] lgc: thanks..I'll read up [06:37] x-wrt is web interface for router [06:37] bonez46, welcome. [06:37] instead installing it on firmware, i planned to install it on web server on ubuntu [06:37] any idea guys [06:38] http://www.pastebin.ca/1368844 [06:38] lgc: have YOU upgraded any BIOS on machines you depend on.. with OpenBIOS stuff? [06:39] bonez46, Nope. [06:39] whats going on [06:39] using a terminal, since I'm remote, what's a good command to review the list of packages I've installed in the past 2-3 days... I'm looking for a couple to get rid of but I'm not sure of their names [06:39] bonez46, I probably wouldn't unless I had some sort of backup machine.

[06:40] !dvd >gartral [06:40] gartral, please see my private message [06:41] lgc: lets start with videos on my drive first, i have all nessicary packages to *play* a dvd, if i could get usable video output [06:42] LordKow: did firefox take foorever to build when you did last? [06:43] thanks roccity_ [06:43] josh-l, yep. [06:43] CaptainMorgan: yeah it good it uses ncurses [06:44] LordKow: remember how long abouts?

The DVD page on the Ubuntu manual will tell you what you need to install in order to play DVDs. There's another !codecs page you might want to peruse. [06:44] lgc: would you stop it with the dvd crap already, ogg theora videos dont play [06:45] gartral, I'll stop it with you alltogether. [06:45] josh-l, depends on how fast your computer is.

I already got fglrx working in a rudimentary manner. The driver is installed and raring to go. Trouble is that for whatever reason, it seems that I have to configure my entire xorg.conf file manually in nano. I had a look at my xorg.0.log and it seems that the driver is working, I just need to throw in some other things like monitor configuration and such. I could be wrong, though, so I need someone to have a look at my [08:37] Lint, thanks :) [08:38] hi all, I would configure my notebook as a mail server to let my studentes learn how to configure a POP client. Is Postfix right for this purpose? [08:40] your're a "teacher" and you don't know? [08:40] <_ruben> and furthermore, postfix doesnt do pop [08:40] wrong answer. That's not a helpful answer. === client03 is now known as glovan [08:41] you need a pop3 server. do an "apt-cache search pop3 daemon" to see a few available [08:41] Stefano: try with sendmail.. it's the basis of mail transport. [08:42] Schmick, thank u! But isn't a little older than Postfix or QMail? [08:43] yes, but if you need to teach how to configure pop3, it will do the job. [08:43] beside, in linux, old != bad [08:43] irc is still arround isn't it? :P [08:46] Schmick, ok, thank u. [08:46] np [08:46] <_ruben> in order to play with pop(3), you dont need a smtp server at ll [08:47] Hi! how's this working. Just installed my first linux and I'm NOT an expert on IT. Can I get practical help from here? [08:47] qpopper comes to mind. do a google for 'qmail toaster' to find a pretty good guide to setting the whole mail package [08:48] hi there. ubuntu 8.10 and missing background image. I've set the desktop background to an image, it's there & selected in the Background pane of Apperence. It shows up when you restart the computer, but disappears after a few seconds. How to get it back ? [08:48] Premi, just ask specific questions, and if anyone can help, they will [08:48] Premi: this channel if more aimed to find answers to specific questions. Maybe you should check out the forums, tips-tricks and so on in ubuntu's forum site. [08:49] hi there. Does anyone know if Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64 default kernel is aware of ccNUMA AMD machines? [08:49] Premi: if you get clogged in some problem, you might find the answer here. [08:49] yeah, ubuntuforums.org has a ton of good stuff === adam_ is now known as Guest83484 === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [08:51] Anybody familiar with the ubuntu-iphone syncing, im getting pissed off and need some help. :l [08:51] Please? :) [08:51] I have problem to connect a new hard drive so that the filesystem recognises it. I can see the new drive in device manager but can't mount it [08:51] is there a firefox torrent program that will show me download progess in the 'Downloads' tab in firefox? right now i have cotorrent handling torrent files for firefox but it does't show progress in that tab [08:52] I don't know how to set the firewire guid to my iphone as this tutorial states: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [08:52] Premi: have you tried to manualy mount it with "sudo mount ......." ? [08:53] what is sudo mount? what I need to write (exactly) and to where? [08:54] I tried to do the steps as told and issue an iphone-mount, but it says that the folder isn't empty and if i'm sure I can do nonempty mount [08:54] Premi: OK, Mounting a HDD is only for the administrator (root), that's why any command that need administrator rights have a sudo (superuser do) in front. [08:55] now, mount is the program the puts your new hdd in the Filesystem. [08:55] for instance, you might want your new drive in /mnt/newdrive [08:56] or in /home/myuser/newdrive [08:56] i cannot play videos, with any player/cedec/driver combination i can think of... im not even trying dvds, these are videos off of my camera and off of wikipedia that i know work fine elsewhere, after a moment or two (depending in driver) i get unusable output, some think this is a drivers issue, my card is a GeForce 2 MX 400, and im running recomended restricted drivers [08:57] for that you need to know what the hdd physical location is, and where to mount it, and issue the command. [08:57] is there a way to make my computers built in system beep speaker generate a tone? [08:58] are there any packages that use projectM [08:58] ? [08:58] for instance "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /home/myuser/newdrive" [08:58] --> sudo mount [08:59] to unmount, the command is "sudo umount " [09:00] homework, search in google and read "howto fstab", it will contain info on how to do all this at boot time, so you won't need to issue this commands yourself. [09:01] extra bonus: every part of the filesystem has an owner, so, even after mounting the new hdd, you might not have right to it. So check also "chown" (change owner). [09:02] Ok thanks Schmick. Gave me some idea. I'll try. I'm off now [09:02] ok, have a good one! [09:03] ? [09:05] What user does the LAMP version of APACHE run as?

[09:59] unanxbt: 1Mb ... its hard to get 913kb on 512kb like [09:59] nvidia and ati have restricted drivers. That is, the source code of them are closed for the public. For that, fixing problems regarding them is very difficult. [09:59] most should work with no problems, but in "thoes" cases.. little can be done. [10:00] do I just rename all intrepid to jaunty in sources.list?

[10:00] i get same error when i try to install that console-setup package [10:01] landswipe, back it up first [10:01] EXP__, no clue then, maybe* try `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` ? [10:02] if I go 9.04 will it upgrade from the beta to final release fine? [10:02] landswipe, ya [10:02] unanxbt: yes.. therotical max is 1Mb, and well usually upload speed are allways smaller that download speed [10:02] landswipe: possibly not, possibly yes [10:02] Any experiences running ubuntu with a recent (800x series) graphics card, or an i7 system?

[10:40] ramavadakattu: sudo apt-get --reinstall install python-roman [10:40] ActionParsnip : thanks will try it [10:40] bullgard4: so you can hit record to see if sound is coming in as it will be recorded [10:41] ActionParsnip: I cannot find any button named 'muted'.

[11:30] figured I'd just use dd, but this is throwing me off [11:30] tehbaut: you can do a block by block copy with DD - or just use a solid copy command [11:31] say on tagged, I just cannot chat using fire fox [11:31] yanz: df -h or using the Disk Usage Analyzer (baobab) [11:31] yanz: try "df" on terminal [11:31] guvil: tagged ? [11:31] guvil: where are you trying to chat, can you post me a URL [11:31] ikonia, right but both usb drives are being picked up and grouped as /dev/sdd [11:31] tehbaut: they both can't be sdd [11:31] ikonia, I'm looking at them from GParted [11:32] look the browser doesnot support chatting, why? [11:32] guvil: show me the URL you want to accesss to chat [11:32] URL : http://www.tagged.com [11:33] ciao [11:33] ikonia, does it make a difference that one drive is a mac drive (hfs+) and the other is unpartitioned? [11:33] !lista [11:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about lista [11:33] Will boot and see what acpi does. [11:33] guvil: it looks like flash based chat ? [11:33] guvil: do you have the flash plugin installed [11:33] so?! [11:33] !help > riccardo [11:33] riccardo, please see my private message [11:33] previously was, and is being picked up as, fat32 [11:33] tehbaut: no [11:33] tehbaut: oh thats odd [11:34] yes [11:34] guvil: how did you install it ? [11:34] I have over clocked my cpu from 3 ghz to 3.6 but yet Ubuntu says it is a 3 ghz cpu. why? [11:34] from adobe [11:34] guvil: sorry, I should be clear, how did you install the flash pluging [11:34] Ginbuntu: it's probably reading the model number [11:35] hello Chinese characters in ubuntu are very hard to read does anyone know how to make them more readable? [11:35] ikonia, any way to be sure that my cpu is actually running at 3.6 ghz? [11:35] gaminggeek: changing font help? [11:35] Ginbuntu: doesn't the bios tell you ? [11:35] ziroday: I don't know [11:35] it does [11:35] directly from the website. It says install,on button I just clicked it it is installed [11:35] Ginbuntu: then it is [11:35] gaminggeek: can you try? [11:35] overclocking is often not a good idea... :) [11:35] ziroday: yes [11:35] my firefox still not well, all button not working (in grey) [11:35] guvil: ahh ok, that could be a problem [11:36] guvil: try installing from the package manager the package "flashplugin-nonfree" [11:36] how? [11:36] hello. How do I get packages for ubuntu 7.04? [11:36] guvil: open the package manager, search for the package "flashplugin-nonfree" and click install [11:36] how do I know the flash version I am using is a 64bit version or not? [11:36] apelgate: you need to upgrade [11:36] Ginbuntu: you're using the 32bit version [11:36] ok let me try [11:37] ikonia, I believe there is a 64bit version [11:37] Ginbuntu: there is [11:37] so anyone got a clue how to get around the usb-drive grouping issue? [11:37] Ginbuntu, a 64bit version is available on the adobe website [11:37] apelgate: does the 7.04 box have a network connection? If so, use synaptic. [11:37] ziroday: It's not possible on this production environment. Do I need to download them somewhere? [11:37] if not, use packages.ubuntu.com [11:37] tehbaut: not sure what you mean by grouping issue [11:37] ah [11:37] cool. I will try that [11:37] SlimeyPete: 7.04 is EOL [11:37] !eol | apelgate [11:37] apelgate: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [11:37] !7.04 [11:37] Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [11:37] random question: I'm trying to do some Theora dev work on Jaunty alpha, and it seems some files are missing from the package; where should I ask about this? [11:38] apelgate: seriously, you need to upgrade :) [11:38] 64bit flash plugin beta : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [11:38] WalterMundt: mail the package maintainer or #ubuntu+1 [11:38] Здарова [11:38] !jaunty | WalterMundt [11:38] well what is sdd anyway? anything special? why would it skip from sda to sdd? [11:38] WalterMundt: Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009, Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [11:38] !ru | andrey_ [11:38] andrey_: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [11:38] tehbaut: it's a device file [11:38] Back. Definitely no "acpi=off". [11:38] WalterMundt: or #ubuntu-motu [11:38] ziroday: I'll ask in both [11:39] Hi, When I installed ubuntu a question popped up that if I want automatic login. Where after installation I can change this option?? [11:39] ikonia, so what's that mean in the bigger picture? [11:39] Wonder if this might be an issue with my graphics card. Already ordered a new one that's supposed to be here tomorrow. [11:39] ViperMax: System > Administration > Login Window [11:39] tehbaut: nothing, it's just a device file [11:40] tehbaut: can you explain what you mean by "grouping" issue a little better/clearer please. [11:40] ViperMax, you need to edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf [11:40] [11:40] thanks ziroday. Do you know which config file, if I want to do in mannually in the future? [11:40] ViperMax: nado just told you :) [11:40] ViperMax, sudo /etc/gdm/gdm.conf [11:40] nado: that's not a command [11:40] thank nado [11:40] nado: you need an editor [11:40] ikonia, grouping both USB drives into one as: /dev/sdd [11:40] ViperMax: you need to do sudo nano /etc/gdm/gdm.conf [11:40] ViperMax, sorry sudo nano /etc/gdm/gdm.conf [11:40] tehbaut: how do you know it's grouping both as /dev/sdd [11:40] ViperMax, or whatever editor you like [11:40] tehbaut: can you take a screen shot ? [11:41] I use nano-- thanks guys [11:41] tehbaut: 2 devices can't share the same device file [11:41] ikonia, I'm looking at it in GParted, there's only two drives in the dropdown: sda and sdd [11:41] ViperMax, at the top of the file after the comments there are 2 lines to do that [11:41] tehbaut: ok - sda will be your internal drive, sdd will be one of the externals [11:41] I could install a clean intrepid system using my current /home directory to save the files, but wouldn't that cause a lot of troubles/worries/conflicts when trying to install stuff on a new system and not everything is available anymore. Been using this system since 5.04 version [11:41] and both USB drives are listed as a partition with the other drive [11:41] ziroday: I know it's EOL, but you can still get packages for it [11:42] hallo [11:42] tehbaut: can you take a screen shot as that's not making any sense [11:42] ok... how do I do that? just printScrn? [11:42] SlimeyPete: sure, but not through synaptic unless you add the old-releases archive. And downloading each pacakge individually from packages.u.c is impractical [11:42] tehbaut: applications -> accessories -> screenshot [11:42] I found it AutomaticLoginEnable=true/false [11:42] ViperMax, yes that's right. And set the default login on AutomaticLogin= [11:43] thnx nado [11:44] ActionParsnip, my firefox still not work, all button not working (in grey) [11:45] tomcyl: ok try this: killall firefox; mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_old; firefox & === ziroday` is now known as ziroday [11:45] tomcyl: you will get a stock firefox profile but we have the old one backed up [11:46] i trying [11:46] thanks [11:46] tomcyl: if the new profile works you have 2 options, rebuild a fresh profile or rename back and troubleshoot the faulty profile [11:47] ikonia: http://www.picturepush.com/host.php?image=1516505 [11:47] What if I were to copy my root dir from a fresh Ibex install over my current non-working install and see if it works. What do you guys think; a doomed attempt or no? [11:47] it look new, but work [11:47] tehbaut: that's two partitions on the same disk [11:47] thanks [11:47] qq === johnny is now known as Guest9929 === xuser_ is now known as Act1 [11:47] ikonia, I promise you it is not [11:47] ziroday: hmm not really a change [11:47] main problem is they are a bit small [11:47] gaminggeek: can you take a screenshot? [11:47] tehbaut: look at the sizings it is [11:47] my first USB drive is 200GB, the other is only 76GB [11:48] tehbaut: yes, and this is showing the 76GB disk [11:48] ima li makedonci? [11:48] I dont even know where the unallocated 125GB is coming from [11:48] tehbaut: it's MEG [11:48] ziroday: they are just a little small [11:48] tehbaut: not GIG [11:48] i have write access to a directory and rwx to a file in the directory. i can't delete that file though. why not ? [11:48] ahhh, I'm blind [11:48] can I make it so only chinese is a bit bigger? [11:48] tehbaut: it's your EFI boot table thats got 200meg [11:48] ok, so I need to find that unpartitioned disk then and partition it? [11:49] tomcyl: your stored passwords / faves are in the old profile, you could rename it back in and export them somehow. i'm unsure of how as i dont use firefox that much [11:49] hello [11:49] gaminggeek: I think that could be what they're meant to be (but not sure). AFAIK nope, you can't make only the chinese character bigger. The nice folks in #ubuntu-cn might know though. [11:49] alright thank you [11:49] or is there a way to pick up its id (the /dev/sdb)? [11:49] Act1: Hi!, is there a problem we can help you with? [11:49] tehbaut: sudo fdisk -l [11:49] hello [11:49] tehbaut: correct [11:49] how do you enable colors in gnome-terminal just like in putty? [11:49] ActionParsnip, is that L or 1? [11:49] or i [11:49] unsure [11:50] It's L [11:50] ell [11:50] hehe, thanks [11:50] ziroday mb [11:50] Act1: mb? [11:50] tehbaut: ell for List [11:50] may be [11:50] so do I still need to partition, or will dd do the clone verbatim? [11:50] ActionParsnip, gotcha [11:51] babo: can you change owners? [11:51] !clone [11:51] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [11:51] hmm, not quite [11:51] thanks a lot , i got it [11:51] ubottu, that's confusing [11:51] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:51] tomcyl: awesome === wax is now known as Guest93955 [11:51] tehbaut: it doesnt apply either [11:51] ziroday, i own the file and the directory [11:51] Now if I understood anything about what ubottu said it might work for me. [11:51] dd would work though, right? === Guest93955 is now known as wax_ [11:52] faeryan: its how to get your package list and use it to install the same packages on a different system [11:52] babo: and when doing rm it says Permission Denied? [11:52] i cat found GUI ftp server... can help?) [11:52] tehbaut: sure would, you may have to install grub to the boot sector [11:52] hmmm, well my unpartitioned disk isn't being listed by sudo fdisk -l [11:52] what is a hotkey to safely shutdown or reboot ubuntu, with no further prompts, just shut down [11:53] ActionParsnip: Yeah. I was wondering whether I should just install a fresh system. I got my /home on another partition. Just not sure how much I would lose in the installed programs and such. [11:53] Act1: why do you need a gui, just use your local users as authentication [11:53] ActionParsnip, grub to the boot sector of the unpartitioned disk? [11:53] Act1: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/settingup-an-ftp-server-on-ubuntu-with-proftpd.html [11:53] someone, a shutdown or reboot key combination in ubuntu? [11:53] tehbaut: after the dd it may be needed on the new disk [11:53] ActionParsnip mm, mb not gui... i need see who, that download at this time [11:54] Act1: you can enable loggin and read the logs [11:54] reading logs not good... [11:54] Jaikkuli ctr+alt+del if you havent rmeoved it. or if X is slow ctrl+backpace [11:54] Jaikkuli: you can do SysRQ+Alt+REISUB but thats not really what you want. You could alias a hotkey to the "sudo shutdown now" command but that might not close everything nicely [11:54] W: GPG error: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 58403026387EE263 [11:54] ActionParsnip, I'm trying to clone a mac bootable drive... does that make a difference? [11:55] thanks all [11:55] tomcyl: you can safely ignore that warning. [11:55] tehbaut: dd doesnt care, its a bit by bit copy [11:55] ok [11:55] brb [11:55] tomcyl: the wine repo guide has a command to import the key [11:55] ActionParsnip, I meant in regards to the grub requirement [11:56] tomcyl: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [11:56] is there a way to mount file as filesystem? [11:56] so, no ideas? [11:56] tomcyl: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/Scott%20Ritchie.gpg [11:56] Lint: yes.. mount -o loop file.iso target [11:56] ziroday: when doing a rm myfolder/myfile.sh it says permission denied [11:57] babo: how odd, what about doing it with sudo prepended? [11:57] babo, use sudo [11:57] Act1: why is reading the logs not good, it will tell you when folks log in, what folders they traverse and what files they downloaded and at what average speed [11:58] ActionParsnip, I'm going to assume grub will not be needed, as I'm just running off a live cd [11:58] don't intend to dual boot [11:58] that's what it's for, right? [11:58] tehbaut: the drive will need a boot sector [11:58] ActionParsnip, won't that get cloned from the existing disc? [11:58] thebinz: the OS needs a bootloader, thats what grub is for [11:59] thebinz: even if you only have ubuntu installed you still must have a boot loader [11:59] tehbaut: thats why i said "may need to" [12:00] ActionParsnip, so you're saying there's a chance that hte boot sector could not get cloned? [12:00] ActionParsnip: The problem I described earlier doesn't stem from Ibex not working with my hardware since a fresh install on different partition seems to work ok. Updating the files and installing restricted display drivers to see where the problem occurs. [12:00] tehbaut: possibly, but grub can easily be installed and configured [12:00] faeryan: you will have to investigate a little to see whats going on [12:01] That's what I've been doing for 2 days now. :) One more doesn't hurt. [12:01] newbee: how do I install danish translation and keyboard on newly installed ubuntu studio ? [12:01] ActionParsnip, and grub works regardless of the fact that only one OS is installed? [12:02] Not working [12:03] so if fdisk isn't listing my disk, how do I get to it to clone or partition it? [12:03] tehbaut: i single boot all my systems and use grub [12:03] I am d/ling ultimate ubuntu.. using torrent.. from estimates.. it looks like it will be late tomorrow before it's finished.. here's my question. what's the advantage to using torrent to d/l a large .iso, over just straight downloading, without the torrent? [12:03] 1ultimate | bonez46 [12:03] hello [12:03] !ultimate | bonez46 [12:03] bonez46: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition [12:03] any one [12:03] other thing, if i activate my nvidia graphic driver, my openoffice manuel can not see [12:03] bonez46: torrents allow multiple sources of data rather than a single server [12:04] bonez46: ultimate ubuntu is not an official release so is not supported here [12:04] bonez46, torrent can be stopped and resumed anytime [12:05] hi guys im new to ubuntu and i'd like to choose the 64bit is now the right time to choose? i want to install audacity, kdenlive, elisa media center, mixx and many more....s this apps supported by the 64bit? [12:05] I cannot chat using any of the browsers on ubuntu. Can any of U help me out? PLZ [12:05] bonez46, not all ftp servers supports resuming [12:05] hello [12:05] bonez46: torrent clients can be configured to use less bandwidth using settings or bandwidth scheduler [12:05] whitehat: depends on your CP, ram amount and main system use [12:05] bonez46: the reason torrents are "better" is because it utilizes P2P technology so that you don't download the file from the server, but instead from hundreds of people across the globe. And unlike normal servers where the more people that download the slower it goes with bittorrent the more people who download the faster the download goes [12:05] Plz [12:06] tomcyl: cannot see what? [12:06] ActionParsnip: usualy i'll use it for audio and video encoding [12:06] thanks...for the enlightenment [12:06] whitehat: 64bit will benefit you greatly [12:06] buttons [12:06] ya but is this available on the repo? [12:07] whitehat: there are 64bit apps on the repo [12:07] Any reasons for not choosing 64bit? Programs that won't work and such? [12:07] Been pondering that myself too [12:08] faeryan: they are all fine, java can be a pain in 64bit [12:08] menus ＆ button [12:08] ActionParsnip: how about the cheese, skype, flash is all available in the repo? [12:08] faeryan: sometimes there are provlems with drivers (chipset, wifi) [12:09] ActionParsnip: ya the java [12:09] whitehat, every app thats there for 32 bit would be there for the 64bit [12:09] if you are shooting for skype i'd use 32bit, skype is garbage at best so i' pander to the fact that the client is 32bit only [12:09] Ow.. Cause I'm fine with having 32 bit system. No actual reason for me to switch [12:09] !skype [12:09] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [12:09] faeryan: if it aint broke, dont fix it [12:09] so is there no way to get to my unpartitioned disk? [12:10] tehbaut: how do you mean? [12:10] ActionParsnip: That I should really learn. Hardy worked nicely for me but I wanted Ibex and I'm swcrewed now. [12:10] ActionParsnip: wel my reason for switch is bcoz of my 4gig ram only reads as 3.5gig in 32bit [12:10] it's not formatted at all, but the disk isn't showing up in GParted either [12:10] whitehat: then 64bit for you [12:10] nor via fdisk [12:10] whitehat, its the same everywhere :P [12:10] tehbaut: does it show up in bios, is it referenced in the output of dmesg | tail [12:11] ActionParsnip: well gona try how abut adobe flash is available too? [12:11] whitehat, it also depends that how much ram your motherboard can support [12:11] dmesg | tail via the bios? [12:11] whitehat, yes [12:11] whitehat: there 64bit flash now :) [12:11] Can I install a fresh ubuntu system over my current system in hopes of making it work and still preserve some old config .bak files. [12:12] tehbaut: no, check bios first to make sure it shows the drive, if it does, boot to linux then read through dmesg | less [12:12] ActionParsnip: wew thats nice, ya thats hwat the dmidecode says [12:12] ActionParsnip: if i deactivate the driver, open office looks ok [12:12] faeryan: if you use the manual partitioning option you can choose not to format [12:12] I'm just going to take the drive back into windows and partition it [12:12] faeryan: just backup your setting files and user data [12:12] will the filesystem be replaced with that of the cloned source? [12:12] stdin, Right, and there's a chance the system will work still? :) [12:13] ActionParsnip: if i install 32bit apps on 64bit will it run fairly? [12:13] tehbaut: partition it but dont format it [12:13] whitehat: sure, there is ia32libs that can handle 32bit apps in 64bit' [12:13] ActionParsnip: The ones on /home dir or are there much more? Cause I was thinking like old source.list backups and such that I have loads in my root dir. [12:13] faeryan: all the system files/applications/settings will be reset, but your personal setting will still be there [12:13] what's a linux second extended file system ? [12:14] ActionParsnip: where can i find that ia32libs? [12:14] pretty old unsafe file system [12:14] ActionParsnip: will i install it? [12:14] faeryan: you can copy those too, if you use samba then backup /etc/smb/samba.conf [12:14] whitehat: its on the repo and is optional [12:14] whitehat: so you will need to manually install it [12:15] ActionParsnip: yes gonna try it now....60% downloading ty bro [12:15] faeryan: you can probably backup all of /etc, it's mostly just plain text files [12:15] use tar so it preserves permissions etc [12:16] I'm going to have a shot at that.

[13:07] what does that mean? Supports transcoded video format [13:08] [13:08] justinnfx: or use the aprtition manager tool. and delete the ones you dont want.. then tell the installer to auto parittion. and it should do it all.

[13:14] so... now I've got my drive loaded up, and it consists of one allocated but unformated partition... am I ready to clone my mac drive to it? :P [13:14] justinnfx: doing it manually is for the people that know exactly what they're messing with, yes [13:15] The only reason im doing it manually is its giving me an error the other way [13:16] Hi. On the UNR pages it claims that UNR Hardy will erase the contents of my HDD. Is that true for the UNR Jaunty Daily image as well, or will I be able to install to the partition of my choice, without deleting unwanted data?

How much can I trust someone who has a ppa archive at lauchpad. I need glusterfs 2 for hardy and I have found one ppa archive having it https://launchpad.net/~onestone/+archive/ppa for user onestone but how much can I trust this source? [13:19] 9.04 stands for (9 2009, 04 april) [13:20] I need to use this package in a production environment [13:20] riker23423: as much as you trust any other repo, there could be anything in the package, it could be fine, or not, its the risk of ppa [13:20] riker23423: if you want to be truely 'safe' use source i guess. [13:20] hi - i am trying to encrypt my system. therefor i shall make new partitions - one of them /boot. is this the place Grub is in?? [13:20] riker23423: usually they are completly fine, but the internet is weird and wonderful and you are right to be wary [13:21] can one encrypt /boot/ ? [13:21] raven: gparted for new partitions [13:21] dr_willis: no [13:21] but is there a mechanism for taking people into such ppa in lauchpad is is it just a simple signup procedure [13:22] fabio yes but i do not want to do this and i think this is not necessary because grub still is on my windows partition and this is the boot part [13:22] dd supports 48-bit LBAs now, right? [13:22] riker23423, I'd consider ppas to be mostly alpha. Doubt if anyone is doing anything nefarious, but I wouldn't bet my job on it. [13:22] could this be right? [13:22] I don't want to use the sourcecode and/or don't want to build my own packages [13:22] because I don't want to mess my production systems [13:23] dr_willis that is the question - do you have experience with encryption? [13:23] Hello [13:24] riker23423, If your going to use new software wouldn't you test it before hand? [13:24] In ms excel , type all the cells and press alt + = will give the sum ..... whats the similar to this open office ? [13:25] iMatter Are you there ? [13:25] durt, you are right but this software is already very mature [13:26] i just need to get way to cleanly install and use it [13:26] what does that mean? Supports transcoded video format [13:26] it's glusterfs2.0rc4 [13:26] raven: aparently one does not want to encrypt /boot partition. :) [13:27] encrypting the boot partition... could be fun [13:27] riker23423, meh, If I was in your shoes and I had not used it before I'd test first no matter how mature.

[13:37] I think what is happening is tv turner is over riding something inside? Or maybe I need to tell skype to use this web cam only? But I don't know how it is do or what I really must do.

[15:28] what is the del cmd in terminal [15:28] magnetron-> there is no 16:9 mode in wc3 neither the screen has a hardware option, but in windows i could change the behaviour of my nvidea card in a menu.. [15:28] kandinsk1: Well if your sure you wont use it then yes [15:29] wow, this is peaceful [15:29] noaki→ you could run wc3 in windowed mode [15:29] slimjim -> rm read man rm to learn more [15:29] kandinsk1: Personally I use "sudo apt-get --purge remove " if I know im not going to use something again [15:29] magnetron-> ah yea thx, but i'm not sure wheter the mouse will 'pop out' of the window.. but thanks, I'll try it [15:29] kandinsk1: Purging removes config files and such I think.

[15:53] hello may name is rebeca [15:53] so many... [15:53] Hi [15:53] I'm worms [15:53] ok mis chiken [15:54] How can I block traffic on an app-to-app basis? [15:54] !hi | Drknezz [15:54] Drknezz: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [15:54] no [15:54] !ufw [15:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw [15:54] !rq [15:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about rq [15:54] it's disorder [15:54] I-Shot-Kennedy: dude, try with "ufw" [15:54] I-Shot-Kennedy: you can't unless you use ufw maybe or something but iptables is not meant for app-to-app blocking [15:54] I-Shot-Kennedy: By creating iptables rules for those applications [15:54] 2 nics, one for internal traffic and one for external traffic: possible? [15:55] I-Shot-Kennedy: What exactly are you trying to achieve? [15:55] ottertoast, not possible afaik, NAt wont allow that [15:55] If I ssh-ed into a remote host how do I run a command on the local host from the remote host prompt? [15:55] I want to control which apps have this right like with dozen firewall apps under windows. [15:55] surprise cake [15:55] ottertoast: what exactly are you trying to do [15:55] Right now it seems any outgoing traffic is not blocked. [15:55] I-Shot-Kennedy, try reading ufw's manual "man ufw" [15:55] arvind_khadri: Whats the diff between sane and xsane? [15:56] !xsane ScottG [15:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about xsane ScottG [15:56] oven [15:56] Drknezz, irssi, throttle bandwidth on proftpd [15:56] I-Shot-Kennedy: are you in GUI?

[15:56] I-Shot-Kennedy: outgoing traffic is not blocked by default, you have to block it with iptables or ufw [15:56] nooooooooooooooo [15:56] i have curl.. [15:56] Guest28959: please use English [15:56] ottertoast, what? [15:56] fuks: ./configure --help [15:56] There is no way to configure it via GUI. Even shitty Vista blocked LeakTest 1.2 out of the box. [15:56] ottertoast: that sounds different than having one NIC for internal traffic and one for external? [15:56] ScottG, no idea, :S [15:56] I-Shot-Kennedy: lol [15:57] y love milk [15:57] If I ssh-ed into a remote host how do I run a command on the local host from the remote host prompt? Anyone? [15:57] xD [15:57] lol irssi, thought he was talking about the irssi client [15:57] irssi, its a long story... [15:57] Drknezz, lol [15:57] I-Shot-Kennedy: yes, because it has a firewall turned on by default. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [15:57] nou [15:57] Guest28959: final warning, this is not a social channel, please use English and state your problem with Ubuntu, or leave. [15:57] I-Shot-Kennedy: in GUI I use firestarter it works fine for me [15:57] if i set the 'always on top' attribute on a conversation window of pidgin _all_ the windows [with always on top set] will ignore the always on top attribute and go in the background if i select a window [without always on top set]; i just noticed this strange behaviour [intrepid ibex, up-to-date without backports! and gnome with compiz]; can someone confirm this? should i file a bug? [15:57] ottertoast: you can probably do what you're talking about by manually setting routing tables, but thats kind of a pain [15:58] Idont [15:58] patryck: i wanna compile with it [15:58] arvind_khadri: lol ok. ubuntu seems to come with xsane [15:58] what package i need? [15:58] bay [15:58] ottertoast, anyways, some apps allow you to bind them to a certain NIC, but idk how to help you [15:58] Well, I have a really nice third-party firewall app with windows which tells me when a local app tries to create outgoing connection and asks me if I want to let it. Nothing like this under Linux? [15:58] fuks: try 'which ' [15:58] I-Shot-Kennedy: in general you don't need a firewall in Ubuntu [15:58] issit in your $PATH? [15:58] ottertoast: if you just want to throttle ftp traffic, look into QoS: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-7990.html [15:58] ScottG, ya, :) [15:58] I-Shot-Kennedy: that is, if you haven't installed anything that would spuriously open ports [15:59] I-Shot-Kennedy: yes, there are plenty of things that do this in linux, but they take a little bit of time to find [15:59] hola [15:59] irrsi, QoS sucks, but i agrre with you [15:59] There is an app that can do this? [15:59] I-Shot-Kennedy: actually there are numerous applications, but ufw and firestarter are probably best for windows users. [15:59] Drknezz: agreed, but it sounds like thats what he wants [15:59] irssi, lol [15:59] hello, my favourite window manager is fluxbox; what is the best way to use it in ubuntu? Now I have installed kubuntu and as default wm. fluxbox, BUT if I rarely log in to KDE I find out that there are some updates which I do not see in fluxbox, so how to deal with that ? what is the right way? === doppler|zzzZZZzz is now known as dopplerdeffect [15:59] was sit das === irssi is now known as celebroan [16:00] !de | max [16:00] max: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

That program has been hiding there this whole time lol [16:01] arvind_khadri: it appears in KDE in left down corner and I think they are some kind of security updates?? [16:01] arvind_khadri: sorry right down [16:01] Pe3k: try running "sudo aptitude full-upgrade" [16:01] Drknezz, celebroan, just meet me in #tmplol [16:02] Pe3k: in a terminal. that should get all your updates [16:02] celebroan:thanks [16:02] Pe3k, aah , its just an applet :P flubox might not have that as its lightweight :) [16:03] Pe3k: fluxbox is nice, but it doesn't have a lot of the applets that are in gnome and kubuntu, including the update notifications [16:03] xfce is cool. It lets you use gnome applets in its panel. [16:03] !español > carmen [16:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about español [16:03] not able to play high quality WMV movie..it plays like a slideshow in totem or vlc how can i fix it?

[16:04] arvind_khadri,celebroan: yes, I use it instead of KDE because of my old computer [16:04] Pe3k: right. but it means you have to do certain things on your own manually [16:04] Pe3k, :) nice , even xfce is cool [16:06] hello [16:06] a question [16:06] how can i play high quality MWV movie?

[16:07] ScottG, i guess yes... havent tried :) [16:07] ok ill mess around with ir some more [16:08] how can I mount an ext4 partition on an ext3 system? [16:08] hi [16:08] Drknezz, hmm.. i know how to set compiz [and it was set by default]; i just noticed that strange behaviour now and i didn't have that problem before [16:08] jedimind: use the "alternatives" method [16:08] kavurt, sudo mount -t /dev/disk /mount/point [16:08] !alternatives | jedimind [16:08] jedimind: To change the default applications system-wide, use 'sudo update-alternatives --all' in a terminal. [16:09] oCean_: thanks i'll give it a shot [16:09] HammerHead66: hey! around? [16:09] jedimind: if you prefer gui - install "galternatives" [16:09] thank Drknezz [16:09] kristian_: yeah [16:09] np BlackBeast [16:10] sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb10 bagla [16:10] mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4' [16:10] oCean_: okay, i went through it, and i changed the java default to sun (i saw it in the list) but when i do java -version ; i still get openSDK [16:10] err OpenJDK [16:11] Hi. How do I tell which kernel is running? [16:11] kavurt, ext4 must be compiled into the kernel b4 doing that [16:11] kavurt, ubuntu doesnt ship with ext4 enabled because it is unstable [16:11] kavurt, you need a custom kernel [16:11] hello [16:11] JonathanEllis, uname -r [16:12] who can help me ? i want to config samba in xubuntu 8.10 [16:12] HammerHead66 : just got back from work. will try to get k3b/brasero to work now. so i have selected the setting, skip eject tray after burn in k3b, and the first time i burn a data dvd, it burns it, verifies it and completes. then when i decided to burn another data cd with some other data on, the verifying fails. :-/ any thoughts? [16:12] Drknezz: Thanks [16:12] jedimind: "which java" should return /usr/bin/java, which in turn is actually a link to /etc/alternatives/java [16:12] !samba > arturo [16:12] arturo, please see my private message [16:12] drknezz thanks [16:12] kristian_: see pm [16:12] JonathanEllis, np [16:12] jedimind: The "java" in /etc/alternatives is set by the update-alternatives command to the java of your choice [16:12] kavurt, np [16:12] !kernel > Drknezz [16:12] Drknezz, please see my private message [16:13] can someone help me fix some errors that I am getting when I boot my ubuntu PC up? [16:13] jedimind: at least, it should be. So you could check "which java" and "ls -al /etc/alternatives/java" [16:13] !kernel > kavurt [16:13] kavurt, please see my private message [16:13] kavurt, ext4 is there in 9.04 [16:13] Drknezz, any ideea why 'always on top' gets ignored by compiz? [i mentioned that i haven't had this problem before] [16:13] oCean_: well it does return /usr/bin/java but it doesnt seem to be using it when im running ... ANT in this case [16:13] tjena hejsan [16:13] should i restart my gnome session? [16:13] Ramesses, idk, you should talk about that in #compiz, not here [16:14] though... [16:14] ubottu can you send it again? [16:14] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:14] !kernel > kavurt [16:14] kavurt, please see my private message [16:14] jedimind: ok, I'm not sure if ANT has a config, where (fr example) JAVA_HOME is set... I guess that'll override system defaults [16:14] Drknezz, compiz didn't packaged _my compiz from ubuntu_; in other distros i don't have this problem [16:14] oCean_: doing ls /etc/alternatives/java returns /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java [16:14] but which java returns /usr/bin/java [16:14] can i use samba for ps3 ? [16:14] Ramesses, ubuntu team is known for modding compiz a bit [16:15] jedimind, readlink -f /usr/bin/java [16:15] arturo, ps3? i'd recommend using nfs if you installed linux on it [16:15] Drknezz, that's why i asked if anyone noticed this problem and if i should file a bug on this [16:15] /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java [16:15] arturo, instead of samba [16:15] crap [16:15] jedimind: /usr/bin/java is link to /etc/alternatives/java, so it seems, that you update-alternatives have not changed the actual java version? [16:15] jedimind, there you go :) [16:15] yeah it doesnt seem like it actually changed it even though i specifically selected it... [16:16] moin [16:16] jedimind, use update-java-alternatives [16:16] max`, moin [16:16] jedimind: also check if the update worked "update-alternatives --list java" [16:16] Drknezz ok thank you [16:17] arturo, np [16:17] !nfs > arturo [16:17] arturo, please see my private message [16:17] oCean_: can i msg you for a min?

[16:18] thanks [16:18] np arturo [16:18] ganesh, using compiz? [16:18] hey people, I'm having some trouble with /dev/input on ubuntu 8.10. There's no output in any of the files, on both my pcs. Anyone knows anything about this? [16:18] ganesh: maybe it's a hd movie and your card is very slow [16:19] goncalopp, why are you messing up with that? [16:19] I'm trying to make a remote work in ubuntu, but it is recognized as an HID keyboard. i wanted to configure it with lirc, maybe [16:19] Drknezz:arvind_khadri:fabio: ya i am using compiz..mine is not a slow comp.. [16:20] goncalopp, maybe reading the lirc wiki should help [16:20] ganesh, turn off compiz and then run the movie [16:20] ganesh, really?, mine can play 4 full-screen vids on each cube face no problem [16:20] ganesh, even when i rotate the cube [16:21] ganesh: mplayer can tell you why is't so slow [16:21] i've been doing that, the problem is, you're supposed to write the name of the device file in the conf, and my device files give no output whatsoever, so it doesn't work [16:21] arvind_khadri: how to turn off compiz? [16:21] I guess /dev/mice at least should output something when you move your mouse? [16:22] arvind_khadri: Man this works freakin great! [16:22] goncalopp, really?, weird, try doing lshw and look for your IR receiver, if it says "UNCLAIMED", then you got search for a driver [16:22] ganesh, metacity --replace [16:22] ganesh, right click on the desktop , go to the last tab and then set the effects to nill [16:22] ScottG, :) nice [16:22] ganesh, to reactivate: compiz --replace [16:22] ganesh, if you want a graphical way to do that, install fusion-icon [16:23] My scanner was working yesterday morning but in the afternoon it suddenly stopped and xsane reports "No devices available". Any idea why this should suddenly stop working when it was fine before? I have asked this question in #sane but there is no reply. Has anyone here experienced the same problem? [16:23] system -> preferences -> effect -> disable enable [16:24] arvind_khadri: Do you have that much experience with it? I have a few questions like being able to have it not pause after every scan or recognising text and exporting it as some sort of text file or preferably PDF. [16:24] hostname:displaynumber.screennumber ... what's the difference between displaynumber and screennumber ? [16:24] anyone know the flush cashe command for the terminal? [16:24] JonathanEllis: loose cable? [16:24] sipior: If only! [16:25] ScottG, aah you can do that when saving the file ,, by specifying the format [16:25] JonathanEllis: i assume you haven't changed anything else on the machine. does dmesg report any strangeness? or anything in /var/log/messages? [16:26] ScottG, no idea about the pause, i guess its not so advanced as you want it to be :) about the pause part i mean [16:26] hello! i googled but still windering how let my intel Pro wireless 2200 work in my ubutu 8.10 === Devastatt is now known as Devastator [16:26] mustu, O.o [16:26] mustu, an intel card not working, thats new [16:26] mustu, pastebin the output of "lshw" [16:27] yep! i read that broadcom don't work but intel do... [16:27] arvind_khadri: I tried to save it as a text file and it gave me an error, so i dunno. What did you mean about the pause not being advanced? [16:27] arvind_khadri: not playing with compiz off ...i can play in windows..so it must not be a problem with graphics card [16:27] ganesh, you installed the nvidia/ati driver? [16:28] Drknezz: http://fpaste.org/paste/6785 === Devastator is now known as Devastatorius [16:29] Drknezz: I can't seem to find it anywhere in lshw, in lsusb I get "Bus 001 Device 005: ID 06b4:1c70" [16:30] mustu, you have a disabled ethernet Nic [16:30] Drknezz: yes ati driver [16:31] ganesh, ati is know to suck A LOT with compiz, so disable it [16:31] Drknezz: I've a single NIC n that's what I am using now! BTW m on dell latitude D610 [16:32] sipior: I havent changed anything else.

[16:32] JonathanEllis: how is the scanner connected to your machine? [16:32] hi guys, I wonder if anyone know of any "official" calendars can one can subscribe to to Evolution e.g. with national holidays and such things? [16:32] sipior: USB [16:33] I see that the Mac people has this nice iCal share service, but what I can see Evolution can not subscribe to iCal files, or? [16:33] JonathanEllis: does "lsusb" report anything? [16:34] mustu, you're done? [16:34] Drknezz: no effect!! [16:34] sipior: lsusb doesnt change when I plug in or disconnect the scanner [16:34] Drknezz: Device Manager also detects the model but doesn't show it as installed ... [16:34] JonathanEllis, then that port must be damaged [16:35] mustu, did you try what i sid? [16:35] Drknezz: nor i can see it in network devcies ...only NIC is showed there [16:35] Drknezz: yes i did sudo ifup -all [16:35] How do I get Sd Card Reader to work ?

[16:36] mustu, try dmesg | less [16:36] and look for any message related to your diabled nic [16:37] Can any op activate conference mode? leave/join messages are annoying [16:37] whitehat: you can have up to 64GB in 32bit with the right kernel [16:37] Drknezz: your client can probably filter them out for you === Agent is now known as Guest28975 [16:38] Does anyone have experience with fdisk not properly reading the c/h/s of ooooooold drives?

[16:47] sonja, try installing build-essential [16:47] i have a question about installing ubuntu wubi [16:47] i cannot get vista to install in vbox [16:47] Drknezz: where the cfg files r located for network adapters.. [16:47] i dont think when i uninstalled it it did it correct [16:47] michiganALIEN: did you enable VT? [16:48] mustu, i think /etc... [16:48] i am new to vbox i know nothing about it [16:48] Drknezz: hmm. i couldn't find it by locate... [16:48] sonja: have a look at libglib2.0-dev [16:48] michiganALIEN: ok. have you created a new VM to install vista on? [16:48] michiganALIEN: be careful [16:49] vists can not be isntalled in a vm it goes against EULA [16:49] Drknezz: are u saying just try downloading from somewhere else? [16:49] i have that window open [16:49] wrektjet, your repos are sooo screwed up [16:49] anybody elsehaving trouble with the canon i250 [16:49] Drknezz: is that a printer [16:49] is there any other way to import photo's than f-spot. ubuntu used to just mount the mem card in my camera [16:49] bromic94: you actually read the EULA :O ;) [16:50] sometimes [16:50] i have printed it out and read it [16:50] over like a month time [16:50] MY repos? i dont follow. [16:50] bromic: damn... I guess I should delete my vista VM then :O [16:50] mustu, you have a switch truned off somewhere in your lappy [16:51] mustu: You around? [16:51] but then again who cares about that [16:52] When I install 9.04 alpha through wubi after i uninstall 8.04lts, i get an error occured, incomplete format, for more information please see this log file. the contents of that log file are http://pastebin.com/m26150c71 [16:52] i dont think 8.04 got uninstall properly [16:52] michiganALIEN: well, theoretically speaking, installing vista is the same as XP, you need to enable intel-VT on the VM preferences [16:53] when I press Ctrl+S in gedit, it shows the dialog to go to a specific line instead of saving the current file [16:53] bromic94: for jaunty discussion/issues, join #ubuntu+1 [16:53] drknezz: are you just messing with me or are you serious. and what should i do? keep trying diff downlaods? [16:53] VM settings->general->advanced-> enable VT-x/AMD-V [16:54] hi guys [16:54] what is "dip" [16:54] wassup [16:54] what is "dip" ?

[16:59] hia [16:59] this is whats listed os type: windows vista and the box is checked [16:59] fearful: then if i want to remove the databases as well then what shud i do [16:59] connar, remove the ones from the /home directory manually rm command or nautilus. [16:59] i downloaded the lateest source code of pidgin which is a few versions ahead of the repo, can i just replace my current pidgin dir with this new one and .configure it? if so where is my existing pidgin dir? [16:59] michiganALIEN: are you in the process of creating the vm? [16:59] connar: as far as i know it will delete your data; i don't think postgresql will install anything in /home by default [17:00] I strated nagios but in firefox see this message:The requested URL /nagios was not found on this server. [17:00] dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/head seek=infinity [17:00] how can i get torrents to show progress download in the downloads tab in firefox? [17:00] yes [17:00] can you help me at this action? [17:00] dimebar: actually i want to do a fresh installation of postgres on my machine [17:00] ScottG, the xsane's lib not so advanced to use pause i meant [17:00] swiper, try downloading the torrents from Transmission firefox will only download the torrent file [17:00] michiganALIEN: you need to finish that first. create a new virtual disk, etc [17:01] dimebar: i dont want any previously created databases or users [17:01] hi [17:01] Hello.. So a Server and a Desktop release share the same repositories. So what does it mean when the Deskop gets EOL'd? Do security updates come out only for the Server components and not for the Desktop ones (say, GNOME)? [17:01] I 'm waiting... [17:01] <_DEL> i am havng a prob with using package manager, i can open in a terminal, but when i use the menu, it wont accept the password, but my root account is off [17:01] when using `less` I can page left and right, but when I'm at the left-most `page`, it does line wrapping. Any way to disable this? [17:01] connar, thats why you have to look for the folders in your home directory containing the databases and remove them. [17:01] fearful: no, that's not what i want - i want it to download from firefox i know its possible [17:01] swiper, you need some sort of add-on then it won't do it automatically [17:03] ubuntu team....saw my problem? [17:03] connar: purge is what you're after. if you look in /var/lib/postgresql/ and make sure everything's gone afterwards [17:03] <_DEL> and all the other apps that reuqire passy are the same === Pete_ is now known as Guest28610 [17:04] fearful: sure [17:04] fearful: do you know of one that works [17:04] swiper, um to be honest no, look in the moizilla site [17:04] fearful: i found two that don't work [17:04] arvind_khadri: Oh, no i meant that it does pause after each scan when im using the feeder. It stops to show me what it scanned and then wants me to save it. I want it to scan everything and then let me do stuff with each [17:05] I started nagios but saw this message:The requested URL /nagios was not found on this server. [17:05] ScottG, no idea about it [17:05] please help me.... [17:05] swiper, sorry I use transmission [17:05] I 'm waiting.... [17:06] Hi all... any good mysql frontend for Ubuntu? [17:06] dimebar: what i have in /var/lib/postgres is a main folder and two file - .bash_history and .psql_history [17:06] I'm waiting for your response [17:06] rreyes, mysql is best with CLI [17:06] shabgard:what up man ? [17:06] shabgard: I don't know about nagios, is it some kind of php script? are you checking your apache conf for the right directory? [17:07] i have a bunch of python modules that exit poorly from their install scripts, and its really crippled my python install. is there an "apt-get remove-no-matter-what" command? [17:07] dimebar: so i need to ensure that there is no folder by the name postgres? are the databases also stored at the same location? [17:07] hey! [17:07] I don't know exactly.. [17:07] ? [17:07] arvind_khadri: Sure. Still, I prefer a good GUI for the common things I do in my work. I like sqlYog but seems like it doesn't have a linux version [17:08] ?? [17:08] Hi! I need help installing this application: http://networkedmediatank.com/showthread.php?tid=13161&page=1 it says in the description that i can use Linux, with Mono. But how do i do it? Help appricated. Hope someone can check it out. [17:08] can someone make a recommendation for a photo editor that compares to Jasc paint shop pro? [17:08] But I know That is start [17:08] i need pysupport, but pysupport won't install because other things are failing because they dont have pysupport :( [17:09] shabgard: what url are you using to access it? [17:09] http://192.205.200.80/nagios [17:10] 192.205.200.80 is my nagios server.. [17:10] But 192.205.200.80 is local [17:10] shabgard: you're sure the server is properly configured, and that you can reach it? [17:11] I used this link:http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-ubuntu.html [17:12] can someone make a recommendation for a photo editor that compares to Jasc paint shop pro? [17:12] I dont Know exactli but Know this is started... [17:13] tj83: free/open source or anything that runs in Linux? [17:13] Any good mysql gui frontend for Ubuntu? [17:13] rreyes: mysql -u -p ? [17:13] Myrtti, preferably free/open [17:13] what do i do? [17:13] shabgard: I am by no means an apache expert, but make sure you completed step 5, that would seem what is missing [17:14] shabgard: otherwise, I really don't know [17:14] A-KO: I know, I know... but I am looking for a GUI frontend [17:14] tj83: a) get to know gimp b) try Paintshop Pro with wine c) pixel32 [17:14] shabgard: you followed that link? But nagios is in the repositories! [17:14] !info nagios [17:14] Package nagios does not exist in intrepid [17:14] tj83, gimp [17:14] !info nagios3 [17:14] nagios3 (source: nagios3): A host/service/network monitoring and management system. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.2-1ubuntu1.1 (intrepid), package size 1354 kB, installed size 3876 kB [17:14] :(( thanks ... [17:14] cool [17:14] newbie question: how do i do this:Once you have the needed libraries installed, build and install by running: $ python setup.py build $ sudo python setup.py install [17:15] shabgard: So to prevent any further issues, you might want to install from repos [17:15] ya.... i have been using gimp... but it doesnt have some of the nice auto adjust macro's arvind_khadri Myrtti [17:15] how do i run those scrips [17:15] wrektjet: what are you trying to install? [17:15] rreyes: You could always wine + sqlyog [17:15] new deluge client [17:15] shabgard: however, themessage ".." not found on this server usually means that the directory can not be found from the defined DocumentRoot [17:15] wrektjet: in the console, just go to the directory you're building and run it with ./ [17:16] A-KO: Wine seems not to work as expected when virtualizing, like I am right now [17:16] rreyes: alternatively many might recommend using apache + phpmyadmin though that's not the preferable solution..... [17:16] shabgard: which, by default in apache2, is /var/www. So, in your case, it tries to find the /var/www/nagios subdir, and it says "cannot find" [17:17] Oh...i checked [17:17] How do we add textboxes to openoffice presenter? [17:17] A-KO: phpMyAdmin might do the job, that's right. Why do you say it isn't the preferable solution? because it is not a traditional GUI? [17:17] porter1, by choosing a layout, onto your right hand side [17:18] i don't found /var/www/nagis....what? [17:19] Drknezz: Tough i can't find the remote anywhere in the lshw, it is listed in lsusb, and I can get keystrokes with xev [17:19] rreyes: because it involves setting up apache, php, and then myadmin, and preferably setup at the very least a self-signed certificate set for SSL to run (or of course over another encryption solution such as VPN) [17:19] arvind, I guess there's not much of a way except copying another textbox. [17:19] but if that's the road you wanna take :D [17:19] it's not that hard [17:19] just more work than a single gui client, that's all [17:19] shabgard: well, since you followd instructions from internet, I don't know were nagios is actually installed. But you need a link from /var/www DocumentRoot to the directory where the files are. [17:20] Drknezz, you're there? [17:21] A-KO: Then any good GUI? [17:21] yes..exactly...this link /var/www/ exsit [17:21] goncalopp: i dont really undersatnd what you are saying. would u mind spelling it out for me. im a lil on the new/slow side [17:21] is there a way to limit sudo to the local keyboard? [17:22] shabgard: yes, I understand, but you need a link from /var/www to the actual nagios install (maybe in /usr/local/nagios) [17:22] wrektjet: ok, get to the console first. in the menu, applicaitions->acessories->terminal [17:22] that im in [17:22] Yo guys. [17:22] wrektjet: ok, did you navigate to the correct directory? [17:23] do u mean in the terminal [17:23] wrektjet:yes [17:23] <_DEL> cn someone help me with an issue dealing with sudo privilages? [17:23] _DEL, ask [17:23] I don't think. [17:23] shabgard: If the nagios tutuorial does not work, you should ask there. Ubuntu has it in it's repositories. So, If you're up for it, I suggest you re-install from repositories [17:23] wrektjet: ok. where is your directory, pathwise? [17:23] wrektjet: desktop? [17:23] im workin on it [17:24] I have some problems. Trying to write a disc, but the burner that comes with ubuntu don't want to. When it is about to start burning it ejects the CD telling me that 654 MiB is needed to burn. The CD has 700 mb. [17:24] rreyes: I haven't ever used this, but you can try http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html [17:24] Ok....Thank for Help....best regards [17:24] <_DEL> synaptic for example, i ca run it thru terminal fine, but if i go thru the menu, it wnt accept my passy, root account is turned off === god-mok is now known as god-mok_ [17:24] zagabar1: are you using a laptop? [17:24] HammerHead66: yeah [17:25] use K3b to burn [17:25] rreyes: also http://www.navicat.com/download.html [17:25] Hey all, when ubuntu loads before I get the progress bar, I get a bunch of error messages. However, they are too fast for me to read, are they logged somewhere? [17:25] HammerHead66: But this program worked before. :S [17:25] Anyone there has experience with a remote recognized as an USB keyboard? [17:25] zagabar1: use K3b to burn it will allow you to not have to eject to verify cd [17:26] Okay, I can try it. [17:26] A-KO: Tried navicat but it never got off the ground. It uses wine [17:26] goncalopp: Well, think about it, a remote is a small flatish thing of sort (perhaps a board) with a whole bunch of keys on top. One could call it a keyboard... I'm not sure I'm helping though... [17:27] ohhh i figured out how to find the path :) you click that notepad in the file browser! [17:27] wrektjet: yea [17:27] goncalopp: i have the directory path [17:27] i was trying to use whereis command and not gettin it [17:27] zagabar1:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k3b/+bug/72609 if you need instructions go to this link scroll down til you see my post and follow the info there ok [17:27] Huufarted: do-release-upgrade fails at the 'Updating repository information' prompt [17:28] HammerHead66: Ok, thanks. [17:28] Huufarted: can't find 'gutsy' packages on old-releases.ubuntu.com [17:28] hi i need tool wit gui where i can edit grub, splash etc [17:28] zagabar1: np [17:29] armence: yes, trouble is, it should be recognized as an IR device, but it seems the usb presents itself as a keyboard. that's not a problem in itself, but i need to somehow modify the keys, and preferably use it in LIRC [17:29] goncalopp: so now by run it with ./ what exactly does that mean? b/c this didnt work: sudo /home/marc/deluge-1.1.5+dfsg python setup.py build [17:30] wrektjet: hoa. ok, you should navigate there first. just do 'cd /home/marc/deluge-1.1.5+dfsg' [17:30] i know on ubuntu is some tool with gui where i can edit grub and splash...but i dont remember name....anyone know ? [17:31] hi anyone know a conky like app easier to configure? [17:31] !crosspost |the_eraser [17:31] the_eraser: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [17:31] ok awesome [17:31] oops [17:32] sky_: can't you do that through nano? [17:32] <|PaperTiger|> Anyone here dual boot with Windows? [17:32] goncalopp, thanks [17:32] wrektjet: then, run it just like a shell script. i.e: './setup.py' [17:32] Sorry, could I bother you guys with a quick simple question about ordering the Ubuntu CDs? [17:32] |PaperTiger|: yes [17:32] <_DEL> |PaperTiger| i once did [17:32] wrektjet: you managed to make it work? [17:32] laeg: i have fear that i can anything destroy === khisanth_ is now known as Khisanth [17:33] On Desktop they don't give an option for 64-bit, do the CDs come with both 32 and 64 bit versions of the OS? [17:33] Zair: yes [17:33] yep i didnt know about navigating to the directory. that will prob help many times in the future :) [17:33] <|PaperTiger|> laeg: After using Super Grub Disk to reinstall GRUB launcher, Windows now won't launch. Any suggestions? [17:33] !anyone | |PaperTiger| [17:33] |PaperTiger|: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [17:33] HammerHead66, Just to clearify, you said yes to that if I order the CD they give both 32 and 64 bit edition? [17:33] Question about themes. In Gnome, to install a new theme, you just untar a file into your home directory and BOOM it's done. Anybody know what the script is or which files have to be backed up to save a current theme's state? [17:33] |PaperTiger|: you can use fixmbr then try to fix grub with live cd :X [17:33] is pulseaudio in intrepid broken? i can't start it with /etc/init.d/pulseaudio start, and running mplayer with the pulse driver fails [17:34] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: How do I do that? [17:34] Zair: what I ment was you havea choice of one or the other [17:34] Zair: sorry about the confusion [17:34] |PaperTiger|: which windows ? [17:34] HammerHead66, I get the choice when I choose server edition, but when I choose Desktop edition I can only pick how many CDs [17:34] <|PaperTiger|> XP x64... [17:35] I have been trying to user my mic on my laptop . It has one mic input , 2 headphone out puts and a mic on top of the screen . I have no idea which is the headset mic or the screen mics. I had it working . I used the volume to chose the mic don't seem to work . How might I fix this [17:35] |PaperTiger|: boot from cd and then there will be some for repairing....you will see console and then type there fixmbr [17:35] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: From the Windows CD? [17:36] Hmm, Now I tried K3b and it said "Cdrecord has no permission to open the device" [17:36] |PaperTiger|: yes [17:36] What does that mean? [17:36] Zair: ok if you are going for desktop what kind of cpu do you have? [17:36] is /dev/input/mice supposed to input something when you move the mouse? [17:36] Hey im using ubuntu and i have a lexmark 510 series. ubuntu recognises the printer and has selected it as default etc etc, now when i attempt to print a file i can view the job in the job que and it says processing but i get no output from the printer. any ideas? [17:36] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: Just to double check, that does NOT do anything to files at all? [17:36] I meant, output something [17:37] HammerHead66, AMD64 bit Athalon, and AMD64-Quad Phenom (or however it's spelt) [17:37] |PaperTiger|: no it just repair mbr table...or you can all date save via linuxe -> live cd [17:37] Zair: you can use 32bit or 64bit witch ever you would like [17:37] hello have one account psybnc free¿ [17:38] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: Linux boots, but not Windows. So I'm trying to get into Windows to A) Reformat the backup drive and B) copy the data to the backup drive [17:38] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: So there is no need to use the LiveCD [17:38] HammerHead66, You're missing my question, I'm at the page https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ I choose 'request a CD of Ubuntu Desktop Edition' it does not offer me the option to pick 64-bit. If I choose server I can pick, but not Desktop for some reason [17:38] HammerHead66: K3b said "Cdrecord has no permission to open the device" [17:39] |PaperTiger|: fixmbr fix the windows boot problem but only windows will boot now...but i think its easier repair then linux booting as windows [17:39] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: Also, what would that do to the GRUB launcher? Would that overwrite that? === silvio_ is now known as sisto [17:39] Zair: ok I see what up === v0lksman_ is now known as v0lksman [17:40] can soome one help me with iphone support un intrepid? [17:40] write something ... [17:40] zagabar1: There should be a configure option for k3b where you can fix the permissions. It will ask you for your password to do it [17:40] zagabar1: It usually does it on first run [17:40] Zair: can you burn cd's? [17:41] Hello [17:41] <_DEL> what deskop environent has the fewest extras included with it, like gnome comes with several small games and all? I would like to install the smallest one. I have been using flux for quite some time but all I know of are gnome, kde, and the flux [17:41] hi [17:41] HammerHead66, yes, I actually alrady have done that too. I'm a computer technician and it'd be a lot better if I had actual pressed discs rather than burned ones. Also it'd look a lot more professional if I did. I only need one copy of each 64 and 32 bit versions [17:41] eqisow1: I could see the device in settings in k3b, but where do I set the permission? === error404notfoun2 is now known as error404notfound [17:42] I like to backport gtk+-2.14.4 to hardy. It needs libcups2-dev (>= 1.2). Is this a drop in replacement for libcups? Or do I run into bigger problems? [17:42] _DEL: Flux isn't technically a DE, it's a window manager. Try XFCE, but you can remove the games and such for any of them [17:42] hi [17:42] question [17:42] Hello.. So a Server and a Desktop release share the same repositories. So what does it mean when the Deskop gets EOL'd? Do security updates come out only for the Server components and not for the Desktop ones (say, GNOME)? [17:42] EvilRoey: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:42] audifahrer: it's probably just "libcupsys2-dev" renamed [17:42] !enter EvilRoey [17:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about enter EvilRoey [17:42] !enter | EvilRoey [17:42] EvilRoey: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

I just want to have some proper discs in my set rather than burned ones that are no garentee are burned right.

[17:43] hey guys im after a ftp client that supports PRET [17:43] ? [17:43] yohoooooooo..!! I can activate start nagios ...:)))) [17:43] LjL: I'll try it. Where in the "debian" directory could I change this? [17:43] <_DEL> eqisow1, oh ok. are there any other window mangers similar? [17:43] just needed a sudo i think. [17:44] well I would burn Ubuntu 8.04 32bit and 8.04 64bit they are the most stable [17:44] |PaperTiger|: yes [17:44] I used as package nagios3.deb [17:44] Zair: well I would burn Ubuntu 8.04 32bit and 8.04 64bit they are the most stable [17:44] how do i find which driver a device is using ? [17:44] hey guys im after a ftp client that supports PRET , can anyone help ? [17:44] _DEL: to flux? IceWM, blackbox, openbox, and others [17:44] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: What is the easiest way to get the GRUB launcher back after that? [17:44] audifahrer: debian/control i think [17:44] |PaperTiger|: some small live distro ? [17:44] This link helped :http://beginlinux.com/blog/2008/11/install-nagios-3-on-ubuntu-810/ [17:44] HammerHead66, burned discs corrpt far too easily. That's why I'm after pressed discs === apw is now known as cafetiere [17:45] audifahrer: change both the build dependency (libcups2-dev) and the runtime one (libcups2) [17:45] !grub [17:45] 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 [17:45] witch one is best fedora or ubuntu i don`t know what to chose [17:45] !best [17:45] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [17:45] bye..ubuntu team..best regards [17:45] Zair: the 8.10 might be free but it is a test version [17:45] <_DEL> eqisow1, ok, just googled it, do you know how well enlightenment is? [17:45] HammerHead66, it's a huge waste of time having to make Ubuntu do a disc consistancy check every time I work on a computer. I never know if the disc got corrupt, or if there's something wrong with the computer I'm working on [17:45] cristi_: ubuntu is .deb distro and fedora is .rpm === rodserling is now known as loveball [17:45] ok [17:45] cristi_: you've been in here before asking the same question.. you know that is for #ubuntu-offtopic.. [17:46] _DEL: never tried it, but it's designed to be simple, so if that's your thing... [17:46] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: Because I want to back up files from both a Linux and Windows installation. So, unless someone could help me reformat a HDD within Ubuntu, I'll need to boot to Linux AFTER getting access to Windows, formatting the HDD and backing up them files. [17:46] Zair: you burning on a laptop? [17:46] Crip: apt-cache show kftpgrabber [17:46] HammerHead66, it never helps if you don't know if a burned disc went corrupt or if the computer you're repairing has bad RAM/CPU/Optical Drive/etc. [17:46] |PaperTiger|: then is easy https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [17:46] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: Thanks [17:46] <_DEL> eqisow1, aight. [17:47] HammerHead66, I have both desktop and laptop multi-drivers (CD/DVD combo) [17:47] multi-drives* [17:47] Zair: burn it on desktop and verify it [17:47] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: Would it be easier to format the HDD now, copy the files from Linux across now, then get it to boot to Windows and boot then [17:47] <_DEL> anyone, if i was to delete gnome, would all the programs i added go with it, or just those that come with gnome? [17:47] Zair: if you are using a laptot, laptot cd drives work the worst when burning [17:47] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: Because after that, I want to do a complete reinstallation. [17:48] is there a way to limit sudo to the local keyboard? "no remote usage" [17:48] HammerHead66, as I said, even if I burn it successfully, mere sunlight can corrupt the disc. Pressed discs don't have that flaw [17:48] |PaperTiger|: reinstalllation is not good way to solve problems...but ok [17:48] try and keep it out of the sun [17:48] <_DEL> ie gparted, unetbootin, and few others [17:48] HammerHead66, CD-R uses photosensitive ink. Pressed discs are shaped metal/plastic wafers [17:48] Zair: try and keep it out of the sun [17:48] LjL: oh no, it needs libglib2.0-dev :-( [17:49] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: This is complete reinstallation to make the system more stable and install a different version of Windows [17:49] Hammerhead66: sunlight damages the disk by melting them very slowly [17:49] Standard CD case works fine. I rarely have a burned disk go bad. [17:49] HammerHead66, 'keep it out of the sun' is what I already try to do. But when you're testing computers every single day, I need to know my disc works. If the disc is corrupt I could spend days checking RAM/CPU/Drives/etc. trying to figure out why there's a boot failer [17:49] failure* [17:49] |PaperTiger|: delete windows :D [17:50] put is on a flash drive [17:50] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: Plus, my windows system is REALLY messy through bad practice. [17:50] zagabar1: I'm not in front of my computer atm and I can't remember k3b well enough to help you, but you should be able to add yourself to the cdrom group manually like this: usermod -a -G cdrom yourname [17:50] !failure > cristi [17:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about failure [17:50] pulgoki: there is the "requiretty" option of sudoers, but i can't think of much else [17:50] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: Why do you think I'm using Linux now, I would if it wasn't for games! [17:50] Zair: put it on a flash drive [17:50] !msgthebot | cristi_ [17:50] cristi_: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [17:50] HammerHead66, that option only works on computers with USB 2.0! [17:50] LjL: a remote shell login is a tty yes? [17:50] <_DEL> wine, |PaperTiger| [17:51] pulgoki: i'm afraid so. that will only stop things like rsh [17:51] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: And Windows even fails at playing games at the moment, because I have the 64-bit edition and it's shit [17:51] <|PaperTiger|> _DEL: Wine doesn't always work great for me. [17:51] |PaperTiger|: i play under linux a lot of games [17:51] Hello everyone, What command can I use to see which sata controller I have or chipset? [17:51] LjL: well at least that is a form of security [17:51] HammerHead66, I work on ALL TYPES of computers. I'm a techncian. I keep trying to explain that. I work on ones with no USB, DVD-only, CD-only, only USB, etc. I have Ubuntu burned/copied in every form possible. CD is the most used by far with all computers to date [17:51] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: What type of games? [17:51] LjL: maybe at that point just limit ssh to trusted ip's [17:51] |PaperTiger| I run XP 64 myself, and it works very well. perhaps there is something wrong with your particular install/setup [17:51] anyone know an ubuntu based NAS distro? [17:51] |PaperTiger|: WoW, CS, Warhammer online, medieval total war..... [17:52] <|PaperTiger|> eqisow1: Possibly... [17:52] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: Using Wine? [17:52] eqisow1: he mean windows 64 [17:52] HammerHead66, Unlike DVD that uses crystal that resists corruption from light sources, CD-R is VERY easy to corrupt. Pressed disc is the only safe way to have CDs when doing sensitive work [17:52] |PaperTiger|: yes [17:52] hey guys im after a ftp client that supports PRET , can anyone help ? [17:52] Zair: My favorite method to install.. use remastersys on my main box to make a custom install DVD, then use the USB startup disk creator to make a bootable flash disk [17:52] sky_: So do I. Windows XP 64bit ed. [17:52] Zair: sorry man I don't know what to tell you then...but keep extra copies around to check it if you have to [17:53] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: Lucky. What's the graphics support like though? 'cos I'm not great with Linux just yet. [17:53] dan457, That's a useful tip for the flash and DVD methods at least, thanks [17:53] hey guys im after a ftp client that supports PRET , can anyone help ? [17:53] <|PaperTiger|> eqisow1: It must just be my setup that sucks... [17:53] PaperTiger: As long as your running nvidia, it's great. ATI is hit and miss [17:53] Why is my panel which shows my opened applications not working? The opened applications don't show down there... [17:53] eqisow1: yea ati fail [17:54] hi [17:54] |PaperTiger|: nvidia 8600 GT [17:54] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: ATi Radeon X1600 PRO... Mine's not great for Linux support I don't think [17:54] I got a problem with my keyboard and first-person shooter (Laptop keyboard-only works) [17:54] hi all [17:54] |PaperTiger|: yea ati really fail under linux [17:54] HammerHead66, I'll have at least one disc ordered so I at least have the 32-bit edition then. I don't know why only server offers 64-bit discs. I'm also confused why you can only order the less stable 8.10 rather than 8.04LTS [17:55] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: I can't have full screen graphics, like films etc. [17:55] i need to determine which ip is connected to my vnc server, its tunnelled through SSH [17:55] hello, can someone help me mount a nvidia raid [17:55] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: Hence, one of the FEW reasons I still use Windows. Also, I like my G15 keyboard too :) [17:55] Zair: because they want people to test 8.10 lol [17:55] |PaperTiger| You will probably be OK since that's a slightly older card [17:55] HammerHead66, really?.. odd.. anyways thanks for the help then [17:56] <|PaperTiger|> eqisow1: I can't have full screen graphics, like films etc. [17:56] HammerHead66, I have some work to do now [17:56] Zair: no problem [17:56] Paper: with fglrx? [17:56] Zair: take care [17:56] |PaperTiger|: i like environment without viruses, trojans and spyware :P [17:56] <|PaperTiger|> eqisow1: Tried [17:56] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: me too, another reason why I use Ubuntu as my main OS [17:56] My firefox "search google for" context menu broke recently. Anyone else seen this? [17:56] HammerHead66, thanks for the help [17:57] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: and Windows if I HAVE to... lol [17:57] it just goes to the home page [17:57] why braesero always says that fixation failed each time i burn a disk [17:57] no search [17:57] Zair: anytime [17:57] hello, can someone help me auto-mount a nvidia raid partition? I have dmraid installed and i can manually mount it via the console, thanks. [17:57] my problem results in game controls messing up, until I disconnect my Logitech keyboard [17:57] <|PaperTiger|> eqisow1: Doesn't help I'm not really experienced with Linux too tbh. [17:57] |Papertiger| It might be worth it to try radeonhd with your card === cafetiere is now known as apw [17:57] <|PaperTiger|> eqisow1: Which is what? [17:57] |PaperTiger|: but funny is that you can gain viruses to your windows partition if you use linux only :D [17:57] Akkernight: Right click the bar and click add to pannel. [17:57] <_DEL> whats wrong with viruses, trojans spyware, and all the other pesky crap, sky_? [17:58] |PaperTiger| The new open source driver novell is working on with the AMD released specs [17:58] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: LOL@Windows failure! [17:58] why braesero always says that fixation failed each time i burn a disk [17:58] i need to determine which ip is connected to my vnc server, its tunnelled through SSH [17:58] any ideas? [17:58] Akkernight: Add window list, and you should be good to go. [17:58] <|PaperTiger|> eqisow1: Ah, okay. Where can I get it? [17:58] |PaperTiger|: :D [17:58] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: Windows BS'd on my playing CS:S [17:59] PaperTiger: install xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd and change your driver in xorg.conf to radeonhd [17:59] <|PaperTiger|> sky_: Was not happy... XD [17:59] |PaperTiger|: i play CSS under ubuntu :) [17:59] <|PaperTiger|> eqisow1: How do I get to xorg.conf? [17:59] <[flx]> redtach:netstat doesn't work?

Replace "fglrx" with "radeonhd" [18:00] <__mikem> I am having trouble with Naive Bayes classifiers in gnome [18:00] Cyberworm: just ask [18:00] I already did [18:00] zenwryly: Mines working fine, you could remove your firefox profile and see if it fixes it.

[18:00] I got a problem with my keyboard and first-person shooters [18:00] Cyberworm: just tell what the problem is [18:01] |PaperTiger|: yes [18:01] did anyone reply to my question?

I need some help I have some problems with unresolved package dependencies using synaptic. I intalled WINE time ago and unistalled it. When I wanted to install the last version again through Add remove programs or using synaptic it gives me an error of unresolved package dependencies. I investigated in the Net and nothing. I only found a dependency with the package binfmt-support and I have a lower version installed in my h [19:04] josh-l: ok so in the Firefox settings, set it as the default browser [19:04] JMFTheVCI: run cd /usr/share/themes && ls and give me the output. [19:04] i got the 64 bit tarbell that is what i am running arvind_khadri [19:04] JMFTheVCI: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [19:05] thewrath, ok , after modprobe, do the insmod with the correct path, sudo insmod / [19:05] saxs: ok first of all to make sure you always got the latest wine add the Ubuntu repo from winehq. http://www.winehq.org [19:05] If anyone can help pvt me pls [19:05] faeryan : hmm, thanks, will check it out. [19:05] yes I downloaded the debian from wiinehq too [19:05] evilGUI: http://paste.ubuntu.com/136195/ [19:05] saxs: I don't see the need to private about your issue, this channel is not that busy at the moment [19:05] saxs: Debian hummmmmm you want the Ubuntu version [19:06] saxs: you are on Ubuntu, not Debian right? [19:06] yes [19:06] hardy [19:06] saxs: yes add the winehq repo for Wine, and then sudo apt-get install it. make sure your other wine is gone. sudo apt-get purge wine will do that [19:06] saxs: and it would leave the .wine folder probably as a hidden folder in home. [19:06] saxs: by the sounds of it also your package manager is broken? [19:07] ok trying it... tnx sebsebseb [19:07] saxs: also what kind of stuff do you want to run in Wine? you should use native Linux programs most/all of the time :) [19:08] !iso [19:08] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [19:08] this is the terminal output: "E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?" [19:09] saxs: you can't have Synaptic or the cut down version add/remove open at the same time, that your trying to install stuff from the terminal [19:09] saxs: the GUI stuff is just a GUI for apt-get [19:09] humm tnx for that... geez I'm really new to this :) [19:10] can someone help me i am trying to install xubuntu 8.10 on a laptop and the installation screen and everything works fine then it loads this thing called busy box and has a variety of different commands to enter, im not sure where to go from here? [19:11] saxs: yeah thought so, as a result you probably don't reolize that Desktop Linux wasn't meant to be like Windows in the first place, because they are an alternative to Unix. also this kind of software is about freedom, source code being availalbe to the general public, so that programmers from all over the world can make the programs better. know about this stuff no? [19:11] saxs: also ideally you should run programs that were made for Linux, but sometimes there may not be something good enough, and so yeah Wine [19:11] done... but it keeps the problems with the conflicting packages... I can't install Wine again [19:12] BellinXFelon, try using safe graphics mode [19:12] saxs: ok try installing anything from the terminal. and pastebin the output [19:12] arvind_khadri, thank you [19:12] !pastebin | saxs [19:12] saxs: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [19:12] JMFTheVCI: This is the last thing I would try besides scraping your GNOME config files, sudo mv /usr/share/themes/themes themes.old && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [19:12] hi anyone know why my keyboard and mouse fail on login (ubuntu latest ver) sony vaio laptop i can pull up a terminal with alt f1 and work from there but no mouse or keyboard in x/login screen [19:12] BellinXFelon, np [19:13] tnx ubottu I'll use it [19:13] . [19:13] kaista: #ubuntu+1 [19:13] kaista: tap on the keyboard when it boots up and it will see it ok [19:13] saxs: and you didn't ask for it, but if you see above, I started trying to educate you a tiny bit in what Desktop Linux is about, so you don't start trying to run loads of Windows programs in Wine :D. and nah I triggered the bot to put that [19:13] HammerHead66 tried it :/ [19:14] evilGUI: In the human directory under /usr/share/themes I notice that after an install not all the files are updated. there is a cursor.theme file and an index.theme file which are not being changed. Is this significant? [19:14] kaista: is the Num Lock light on? [19:14] JMFTheVCI: If you wish to try reseting GNOME it will remove all of your custom settings, *DOT NOT RUN UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR GNOME SETTINGS WIPED* rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [19:14] saxs: if people are going to use this kind of software, then ideally they should have a general idea, about what this kind of software is about, [19:15] !freedom [19:15] freedom is important.

I need info on prestaging user environments, automated installations. Does anyone over here has users on linux on an ad domain? Can someone point me to a correct channel? thx [19:16] ZoOl007: oh Active Direcotry domain? [19:16] JMFTheVCI: No, everything should be removed, if you want run sudo rm -r on the folders. [19:16] indeed [19:16] kaista: u there? [19:16] yup [19:16] soz [19:16] ZoOl007: sure Windows server and Linux servers could work together. ,but Windows server hum I woudn't use that :) [19:16] HammerHead66 , tried it [19:17] kaista: is the Num Lock light on when you boot up? [19:17] HammerHead66, not sure when i boot, i have tried swapping tho [19:17] ZoOl007: what you want to know is not distro specific, so going to this channel would make sense #linux [19:17] :) thank you, I'll give it a go... [19:17] keep tapping til the light stays on if it goes off turn it on again [19:18] saxs: you still haven't pastebinned the output of the terminal [19:18] HammerHead66, nice ill try in a little while.. if your still on ill let you know what happened [19:18] evilGUI: That's weird. I did the mv to backup the old themes and then re-installed the human themes. I now see both sets of themes in System> Preferences > Appearance. [19:18] is there a tool for finding double files? [19:18] who should i ask for help around here? ;p [19:19] !ask | hill_ [19:19] hill_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[19:20] i always dont remember about it [19:20] can someone give me a hand with crontab? [19:20] HammerHead66, this a common thing? [19:20] what program can i use on ubuntu, to repartition my hdd without disrupting my current install? I have full disk used for linux, then the last 1gb used for swap, i want to repartition free space into a new partition [19:20] arvind_khadri, to the !justask command [19:20] yeah [19:20] !ask how do i connect to a windows vista pc on the network with samba, it says failed to retrieve share list from server? [19:20] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:20] HammerHead66, i checked my xf86config had no mention of keyboard?!? [19:20] Hi. I have two monitors. For a while, somehow, I accidentally got my icons on only my "center" (or right) monitor. After a reboot, they are back to both sides, but I preferred it that way. Can anyone tell me how to set the area where icons appear on the desktop? [19:20] is it auto? [19:20] sort: stray character in field spec: invalid field specification `3gpg' [19:20] arvind_khadri: sort: stray character in field spec: invalid field specification `3gpg' [19:20] :< [19:21] Is there a way to set this to run at startup http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m231b7e1 ? [19:21] Mr_Cheese, gparted [19:21] Voxicles, make it a script and put it in /etc/init.d it will load on startup [19:22] gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys (KEYS)" to get the keys, then "gpg --export -a (KEYS) | sudo apt-key add - fuks [19:22] arvind_khadri: sort: stray character in field spec: invalid field specification `3gpg' [19:22] arvind_khadri, i tried that but it wont let me resize my ext3 partition [19:22] how add it?:< [19:22] ok [19:22] JMFTheVCI: After running that and reapplying the themes what happens? [19:22] Mr_Cheese, to resize a partition it should not be mounted use a gparted live cd [19:22] any good domain registrar/host? I was hosted with Dreamhost, but since some days my server is constantly 500ing, and just now they made me pay $20 for a domain name that they didn't even register. Really pissed! [19:22] evilGUI: Did the remove and the .old go. [19:22] I will try another re-install. === evalles__ is now known as effie_jayx [19:23] Mr_Cheese, it can't be mounted meaning if its a partition you have to do it through the livecd [19:23] not quite sure how to make it a script lol [19:23] arvind_khadri, oh ok, yeah thats why i was asking since this is my only OS on it right now... so do i use ubuntu live cd and run gparted then? [19:23] can any one tell mea program to convert videos to mp3 on xubuntu [19:23] JMFTheVCI: This is truly a very odd problem. [19:23] Voxicles, you should learn the basics of bash scripting, its useful [19:23] Mr_Cheese, you can find the gparted live cd only :) [19:23] fearful, yeah i was just asking because in windows you can do the changes you want and it will just partition on next reboot [19:23] arvind_khadri, ok thx [19:23] Mr_Cheese, yea on linux it has to be unmounted :\ [19:24] evilGUI: I will restart x again [19:24] #opencog [19:24] indeed, I should. Just trying to get everything running smoothly [19:24] How do you change the area where icons appear on the gnome desktop? [19:24] arvind_khadri, thats not true, sudo apt-get install gparted will get you gparted [19:24] hi [19:24] fearful, he was talking about the gparted live cd to boot to [19:24] Mr_Cheese, as on the boot the partitions arent mounted [19:24] arvind_khadri, right i was thinking linux would have a similar program to make it easier to do re-partitions [19:25] fearful, he wants to edit the root partition, you cant edit it while its mounted [19:25] JMFTheVCI: Any luck? [19:25] arvind_khadri, I know I told him this I thought you just said that gparted was only avaliable on LiveCD [19:25] arvind_khadri, my mistake. [19:25] fearful, no :) [19:26] im currently running archlinux and would like to take a look at ubuntu, i found this with google: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/linux-upgrade.html the guide lists dpkg as "standard linux tool" which is of course not the case...do i need something else besides dpkg on a non debian system to install ubuntu this way? [19:26] fearful, its okkkkkk [19:26] evilGUI: no. I am reluctant to hose all the .xxx files in my home dir. Is there a particular file that records desktop settings? [19:26] hi guys am having trouble with an ofstream... when the program writes on the file the following error occurs in the file(text file) : Could not open the file /home/tryfonas/generations.txt using the Unicode (UTF-8) character coding. [19:26] Mr_Cheese, aah , need to be thought upon [19:26] arvind_khadri, maybe in jaunty :) [19:26] is it "better" for the hardware to always use the lastest kernels? [19:26] JMFTheVCI: Yes, run this rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity, it will reset everything to defaults. [19:26] Mr_Cheese, no, gprated should implement it :) [19:27] arvind_khadri, well lets talk to those guys then :p [19:27] clancy, if your hardware is working with the present one, then no need [19:27] sorry if everyones busy dont mean to seem impatient just wondering if there is an xubuntu friendly program to convert mp4to mp3 [19:27] Mr_Cheese, :) sure [19:28] Does anyone know what you might call the area on your desktop where icons are allowed to be positioned? Where they snap back to? [19:28] ok [19:28] psychic, mp4 is a video file, mp3 is an audio file, so you want to convert video to audio? [19:28] hi [19:28] i had one for windows maybe a means of seperating the two? [19:28] Mr_Cheese, don't forget that the .mp4 files are just marked by their container [19:28] !hi | NeoDragon [19:28] NeoDragon: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [19:28] when my hardware won't be compatible with the next ubuntu jaunty kernel, can i always use the intrepid kernel in the future? [19:28] JMFTheVCI: You might also try removing everything in ~/.themes/ [19:28] So basically they're probably AAC in MPEG-4 Part 14 >_> [19:29] JEEBcz, ok well if he wants to convert mp4 audio to mp3 audio, lots of programs can do that [19:29] hi all [19:29] Mr_Cheese, yup [19:29] codazoda, desktop [19:29] audacity [19:29] for xubuntu? [19:29] I installed hardy on my father-in-law's PC yesterday and set it up to dual boot windows xp, and now when it boots all you see on the screen is an message that says "ERROR 21" can any one tell me what that means? [19:29] or ffmpeg etc. etc. [19:29] hi sarmisak :) [19:29] hi.. I am trying to get sound to work for the first [19:29] time [19:29] he could even use mplayer to play and then pipe into neroaacenc [19:29] evilGUI: FIXED!!! I went into the customise option for the theme and removed the "Controlls" Human entry. I then re-installed the Human theme and all is back to norm. [19:29] how can I test it? [19:29] psychic, yes for xubuntu, try audacity [19:29] transcode is command line, there are a varity of front end programs that will use it. [19:30] JMFTheVCI: Sweet =) [19:30] clancy, how do you know its not compatible? kernels are made sure to have reverse comptability [19:30] ok thanks [19:30] And again I forgot what was first and what was second >_> Btw, was audacity ok with aac source? [19:30] arvind_khadri, so a piece of hardware will always be supported by the kernel? [19:31] Audacity supports most formats out there. [19:31] clancy, afaik yes [19:31] I installed hardy on my father-in-law's PC yesterday and set it up to dual boot windows xp, and now when it boots all you see on the screen is an message that says "ERROR 21" can any one tell me what that means? [19:31] evilGUI: Clearly whatever the Contolls item for a theme does it is separate for the actual theme installed. It does have a big impact when something goes wrong. [19:31] ok i see, i thought they end the support one day that the kernel won't be bigger and bigger [19:31] but...the hard disks also are bigger and bigger [19:32] i saw 1tb external drive, for $100 :O [19:32] evilGUI: Thanks for all the suggestions. [19:32] clancy, it does :) but thats not a issue, they even try to make the code smaller :P [19:32] JMFTheVCI: no problem. [19:32] I installed hardy on my father-in-law's PC yesterday and set it up to dual boot windows xp, and now when it boots all you see on the screen is an message that says "ERROR 21" can any one tell me what that means? [19:32] hard drive failure? [19:32] NeoDragon: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2567919 this tells you about error 21 [19:32] dan457, yeah - I know it does, I just never really tried it with aac - although if it's based on libavcodec I can understand if it can decode a lot of stuff ;) [19:32] !grub | NeoDragon [19:32] NeoDragon: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[19:33] grubs are disgusting little creatures [19:33] OT sorry [19:33] error 21 is usualy caused by bad drive settings in your bios.

[20:00] metalfan_: dpkg [20:00] josh-l, ok...just checking the obvious...cant help...sry [20:00] saxs: At a guess, based on those errors, I'd suggest you might be trying to install the wrong version of WINE for your distribution [20:00] saxs: ^^ Does that guess sound possible? [20:01] marek__, can you be more specific as to what you want to accomplish? i use FTP, VNC, SSH, and PPTPD-VPN from work to home... might be able to help [20:01] how to quite by force a fullscreen mode? [20:01] How would I mount an AFP share? [20:01] josh-l: That sounds like a dependency version problem. How (with exact commands) did you install the problem app? [20:01] does any1 use tvtime ?? [20:02] Normally, GNOME packages have the GNOME-team under "Uploaders" in the debian/control file. Should I keep that? [20:02] tj83 any type of tunneling that is easy :) [20:02] i thought about vpn but i remember that one i used simple CLI for that [20:02] how to quite by force a fullscreen mode? [20:02] why do i have blue screen when i start my tvtime ? [20:02] maxb: exact command: "sudo dpkg -i rekonq.deb" [20:02] hey all [20:02] saxs, pm me [20:02] tiagofalcao - thanx for the info - it's faster than.............. [20:03] marek__ tunnel for what? tunnel would to me be described as a carrier for another service.. for example to tunnel VNC over SSH... your trying to access file shares? desktop? [20:03] ciao a tutti [20:03] maxb: it was built on a jaunty system, i'm running intrepid [20:03] i am trying to install ubuntu server [20:03] hi [20:03] Sjord: #ubuntu-motu is a quieter channel where you can get help on producing packages for contributing to Ubuntu [20:03] josh-l: Then that is the problem. [20:03] ah bummer [20:03] after the install has completed i get to a grub menu [20:04] marek__ is it the FTP you want to tunnel over ssh? [20:04] but cant do any thing [20:04] why do i have blue screen when i start my tvtime ? [20:04] tj83 i mean this: i need to upload soe files, and edit some scripts on a server, that is only accesible from y work, i would like to do it from my home with my other PC [20:04] * taec wishes he remembers how he got his sound working on this Vostro laptop before. argh. [20:04] i'm using jaunty. good distro. only a problem i can't resolve. can i ask here? [20:04] i have ssh access from work [20:04] josh-l: Also, whoever built it, didn't get the packaging quite right, or dpkg would have indicated the unmet dependencies [20:05] marek__, then that needs to be configured in the work router to forward specific ports to your work machine. making access from home possible. [20:05] is there a better channel for support on my issue [20:05] maxb: is some how maybe if i extract the package i can find out what the unmet dep is? [20:05] tj83 i addedd 22 port fowarding to that work PC before [20:05] i can access to it via ssh [20:06] i can't install serpentine [20:06] sebsebseb, CTPC? [20:06] vito_, why not [20:06] marek__, ok, so if you can ssh into your work PC from home, then you need to set up the same kind of forward for your server that you need to access... only cant use 22, will have to use another port... which is safer anyways [20:06] fearful: yeah whatever that is, and it tells me what client your running [20:06] does anyone know what this avahi is, and how I'm supposed to use/utilize it on a network? is it possible to centralize it (ie give a specific system authority) and have it replace, say, dns + dhcp services on the network? [20:06] it depends on python4-suite-xml [20:07] tj83 yup, i addedd 2000 port fowarding [20:07] sebsebseb, oh [20:07] wixh depends on python <2.6 [20:07] hi guys . now here is my problem i did this humble program called the game of life. it gets input from the input file and outputs the generations in the generation file(all files are .txt) but i get a problem in outputting . [20:07] maxb: is some how maybe if i extract the package i can find out what the unmet dep is? [20:07] is tanyone know where I can find linux drivers for my linksys wireless card? [20:07] vito_, what do you do to install it? apt-get install? [20:07] and a screeshot of the error in the output file is here: http://i43.tinypic.com/16is9dc.png [20:07] yes [20:08] vito_, you can try apt-get update first to see if the problem is already fixed [20:08] marek__, sounds like it might be simpler to just install openvpn server on your work computer and use that to join your home computer to that network. [20:08] vito_, also try sudo aptitude install serpentine [20:08] i tried but it is not fixed [20:08] marek__, you forwarded it in the router in addition to the sshd : /etc/ssh/ssh_config ? [20:08] HOW to quite fullscreen mode? [20:08] josh-l: The problem is almost certainly that Intrepid's libraries are too old to run something built on Jaunty. So you're not going to be able to fix this by installing something extra. You need to rebuild the package on Intrepid. [20:09] tj83 i dont know [20:09] in lanchpad they say there is a bug in python4-suite-xml [20:09] maxb: ah ok, i'm no good at building packages [20:09] are there any server specailists in here [20:09] marek__, you will need to make the server "listen" for port 2000 in /etc/ssh/ssh_config file by uncommenting the line that has #port 22 to port 2000 (without #) [20:09] * taec kicks alsa and it's stupid muted devices [20:09] slops17: #ubuntu-server ? [20:09] thanks [20:10] vito_, so wait for the fix or use a different application [20:10] greetings; how do I configure a static route (additional to my gateway) with the network configuration in debian/ubuntu? [20:10] tj83 but i also would have to connect from my home to port 2000? [20:10] i tried to build this package from the source with no success. [20:11] !gpg [20:11] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [20:11] I'd prefer not to write an init.d script for this [20:11] marek__, yes of course... you would instead of "ssh user@ip" it will be "ssh user@ip::2000" [20:11] sebsebseb: hello... [20:11] Nasra: hi [20:11] ok what next tj83? [20:11] hi where you been? [20:11] it is possible to do so? [20:11] vito_, no [20:11] everything ok [20:11] erikh, "route -n" to view on command line, then "route add gw x.x.x.x y.y.y.y" where x= network address IP and y = subnet [20:11] vito_, the problem is python, so wait for the fix there [20:11] ok [20:11] Nasra: oh my Pidgin is closed [20:11] vito_, the bug has to be fixed, its not a packaging problem [20:12] thank you [20:12] marek__, thats it... you should be able to ssh to either your desktop box with port 22 or the server with port 2000 [20:12] no problem... [20:12] daftykins: a) it's not my gateway, and b) I'd like to do it in /etc/network so it establishes it on start [20:12] that is okay.... [20:12] I have added a line in rc.local (2 lines if you count the "pause 20") but it's not executing at boot. If I run the command myself it runs fine... why? [20:12] I know how to use `route` [20:12] ah ok erikh [20:12] hi. can anyone confirm that usb wifi adapters do not work with any current linux kernel? [20:12] Nasra: this is all off topic, pm is better :D well I am about to be on Pidgin again [20:12] <_DEL> can someone help me with gparted? [20:12] sebsebseb: what is the name of that website for linux? [20:12] !ask | _DEL [20:12] _DEL: 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. :-) [20:12] Nasra: which website? [20:12] ubuntunoob, no cant confirm that [20:12] camping one [20:13] Nasra: camping??????? [20:13] oh no rember..no problem [20:13] we talk later [20:13] marcel1607, i see. that's what i was told on another channel. [20:13] marek__, i have to run for a moment /join #seaphor if you dont have success brb [20:13] ubuntunoob: my wifi connector does WORK with all the kernels I tryed [20:13] I'm having trouble with my console. It's like the whole screen is "bouncing" constantly, which makes it almost impossible to do anything but trivial work on it. What bugs me is that it actually jumps the very boot (when the bios checks memory etc). What could cause this? [20:13] ubuntunoob, linux kernel has support for usb wifi, its maybe not in the default kernel config [20:13] I willl be here [20:13] marcel1607, i'm trying to get a belkin wireless g+ mimo adapter to work with intrepid [20:13] ssh: Could not resolve hostname 195.254.*.*::2000: Name or service not known tj83 [20:13] Nasra: maybe someone here knows about asterisk on Ubuntu [20:13] ubuntunoob, let me check, hold non [20:14] this is the only thing that went wrong with this distro. everything else works perectly for a alpha release!!" [20:14] I think so [20:14] marcel1607, thanks === geo is now known as geo05 [20:14] I have added a line in rc.local (2 lines if you count the "pause 20") but it's not executing at boot. If I run the command myself it runs fine... Any hint? [20:14] ubuntunoob: find out which chip the usb wifi uses. "lsusb" may help [20:14] Nasra: there was some guy I could email stuff to, but I didn't round to that [20:14] <_DEL> gparted will not recognize my 16G SDCard anymore, last night it saw it as fat16 partition, but it couldnt delete or reformat it. dmesg | tail result is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/136226/ [20:14] Joker_-_: which lines? are the rc.local executable? [20:14] erUSUL, it's meant to use rt73 [20:14] Is there anybody who knows any console based programs to transfer videos to an iPod? [20:15] ubuntunoob, usb wireless is supported, are you able to build your own kernel? [20:15] sebsebseb: okay....I have decided gonna learn more linux before jumping into that application [20:15] ubuntunoob: do you get a wlan0 device ? [20:15] sebsebseb: have to learn alot of commands [20:15] !kernel > ubuntunoob [20:15] ubuntunoob, please see my private message [20:15] erUSUL: well, good point, I always "supposed" rc.local was executable. The line is a screened virtual machine. [20:15] erUSUL, I've tried using ndiswrapper with the rt73.inf file on my belkin CD, that didn't work, also tried the serialmonkey drivers, again didn't work. [20:15] whaddup mike [20:15] how do I find out which graphics card I have? [20:15] Nasra: oh right [20:15] erUSUL: yes, it is executable... [20:15] in the meantime i can use brasero. does it support gapless audio cd? [20:16] boscop: lspci is generally the easiest way [20:16] boscop, lspci [20:16] thx [20:16] np [20:16] ubuntunoob: the driver comes with the default ubuntu install no need to play games with third party drivers [20:16] sebsebseb: by a way of pastebin....if need be to ask questions.... [20:16] boscop: lspci | grep -i video [20:16] it's better [20:16] ubuntunoob, you can build your own kernel and select usb wireless support, maybe that will work [20:17] marcel1607: the support is already there in default ubuntu kernels. [20:17] erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/fd57aaf2 [20:17] marcel1607: no need to compile anything [20:17] (i love serpentine mainly for this reason) [20:17] d [20:17] Nasra: no you pastebin stuff that, like terminal output, so you don't flood the channel with it [20:17] marcel1607, ah... that sounds great, i think it maybe what ubottu pm'd me... now that is all very difficult for me! ;) [20:17] whaddup chubs [20:17] erUSUL, there are experimental new drivers [20:17] erikh, this doesn't show anything [20:17] ubuntunoob: can you do « sudo modprobe rt73usb » [20:17] anyone here using jaunty? im having problems of distortion in 2ch mode, so i need to use 6ch, even though i use stereo [20:17] erUSUL, that sounds better, :) [20:17] dan-ubuntu: yes I am, but this is the wrong channel you want #ubuntu+1 [20:18] !jaunty | dan-ubuntu [20:18] dan-ubuntu: Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009, Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [20:18] or there is another app too make gapless audio cd? [20:18] yah [20:18] have to admit erikh i have no idea how to specify a second gateway in the interfaces file [20:18] daftykins: no worries [20:18] I think our sysadmin found it [20:18] i tried the man page and googling, nothing! [20:18] sebsebseb: pm me when you available: gonna to eat now [20:18] daftykins: thanks for trying though [20:18] erUSUL, i can, it shows the rt73 driver is present but wlan0 doesn't show doing a iwconfig (i think that's what i did) [20:18] daftykins: yeah, I checked all the manpages I could find [20:18] erUSUL: rc.local is ran as "root" right? [20:18] Nasra: ok well I will be around later, but TV evening :) [20:18] I might just write an /etc/init.d/ script [20:18] ah, no problem erikh :) [20:19] Joker_-_: right [20:19] good luck [20:19] how do I know if my gfx card supports compiz fusion? [20:19] erUSUL, only things that show are lo and something else... eth0 i think not sure [20:19] erUSUL: then I dont see what th eproblem is [20:19] thanks :) I'll come back and mention it [20:19] once I find a solution that works. [20:19] sebsebseb: okay :- [20:19] does anyone know how adduser without Full Name, Office Phone and personal info prompts? [20:19] boscop, what card you have? [20:19] sounds good! may come in handy for me in the future [20:19] ubuntunoob: iwconfig should tell if any interface has wirelless extensions [20:19] boscop once your drivers are installed you can go to system -> preferences -> appearance -> "effects" tab and enable it [20:19] beawesomeinstead, why not supply that on the commandline [20:19] "visual effects" tab sorry [20:19] Joker_-_: well scrreen is a interactive program... i mean it needs a tty ... [20:20] erUSUL, sorry, yes i'm not near the machine tonight unfortunately. i can't remember all the different commands to be fair! ;) [20:20] beawesomeinstead, like adduser dummy dummy or something [20:20] i sued a tutorial i found here i believe , let me try and find it... [20:20] marcel1607: i still need password to be asked [20:20] Lasivian: Joker_-_ [20:20] ubuntunoob: you should check the dmesg output when you load the module [20:20] daftykins, is this already compiz fusion? [20:20] erUSUL: ah, what should I do then? [20:20] What's the variable for the currently logged in user for bash? === chris_ is now known as chrisrio [20:20] Buenas [20:20] Lasivian: Joker_-_ uh sorry... feel like cat on the keyboard [20:21] BiosElement, whoami ? [20:21] if you are running 8.10 or near to that version then yes, boscop - if you have turned it on [20:21] beawesomeinstead, what are you trying to do? adduser frank is fine [20:21] !spanish > AntonioRS [20:21] AntonioRS, please see my private message [20:21] ok [20:21] Drknezz: I've seen it used in tutorials before for easy copy/paste. Something like $username I thought. Can't seem to remember it. [20:21] yes, i'm running 8.10, and turned it on [20:21] BiosElement, bash script? [20:22] Joker_-_: from screen man page -d -m Start screen in "detached" mode. This creates a new session but doesn’t attach to it. This is useful for system startup scripts. [20:22] erUSUL: wich is what I do... [20:22] erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/fd57aaf2 [20:22] Joker_-_: so use "screen -d -m restofoptions" [20:22] i though I had to install it [20:22] drknezz: Well it worked just by pasting it into the console. [20:22] Anybody able to tell me where I place custom mouse cursors? [20:22] erUSUL: thats what Im doing... screen -dmS vbox VBoxHeadless -startvm winxp -vrdp=off [20:22] BiosElement, why not just taking whoami's output to your own var? [20:23] Drknezz: Aight, Thanks. [20:23] any idea why do sound tests fail (trigger an error) as i try to start them at system->preferences->sound ? [20:23] BiosElement, np [20:24] Joker_-_: then i dunno; maybe it needs to be -d -m -S and it chokes at -dmS ?? some programs are weird at parsing options [20:24] erUSUL: would be strange as it works if I copy/paste the command in the terminal... [20:24] daftykins, some of the keys don't work [20:24] Joker_-_: well then i'm out of ideas... [20:25] erUSUL: so am I [20:25] Hello all [20:25] keys boscop? you need to enable features. use system -> preferences -> compizconfig settings manager [20:25] does anyone have any good ideas on how to get Jack to work in 8.10 [20:25] jack who? [20:25] boscop: or if that's too complex, "sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm" for most basic features [20:25] jackd [20:25] billbeau. hacking is not the topic of this channel [20:26] is there a debug output of rc.local, or how could I add one?

Saturday my 8.10 started randomly capitalizing the first character of things I typed, including in command lines (OUCH) and search boxes (Annoying) Has anyone heard why? [20:26] daftykins, under system -> prefs there is no compizconfig settings manager. So I have to install it yet?

[21:49] adamb, sudo gedit /etc/fstab [21:49] wrektjet you can mount the windows hdd in ubuntu or try samba [21:49] adamb, or 'echo sometext >> /etc/fstab' [21:49] wrektjet: samba ? [21:49] any one know how to make my zune software compatible with ubuntu 8.1? [21:50] ok ill look into it thnx [21:50] zenlunatic: Thanks [21:50] adamw9678, probably only root has write permissions on that [21:50] wrektjet: windows and linux are on the same machine ? [21:50] I have read the mount and mount.cifs man pages, and tried several combinations of options. No dice. Any suggestions? (btw, my initial question scrolled on by; will re-enter if needed) ;-) [21:51] no an old laptop and my new ubuntu machine [21:52] What's a good dvd backup program other than k9copy? I've been waiting an hour for k9 to finish and it takes for ever. [21:53] happyslacker: do you know about ntfs-3g ? [21:53] auto-identify... what is that? [21:54] wrektjet: using a switch and 2 RJ45 cable could help you [21:54] greetings... i am now trying to edit the WIZARDPEN.fdi config file but i do not understand what theese numbers are about - not pix, not mm - what is it???

[21:55] happyslacker, wild guess... could be your umask [21:55] lyhana8: yes, I have heard of it, but can it be used to mount remote windows shares? I wasn't clear on that in my question... [21:55] happyslacker, on that device [21:55] happyslacker: don't know, sorry. [21:55] lyhan: thnx. i was wondering if i could do it over my home network. looks like samba would do that? [21:56] zenlunatic: I've tried setting a umask in fstab, but it seems to have no effect. I've tried umask=000. [21:56] hello group. is there a net install CD of 8.10? and if so are their docs on doing a net install from remotely mount DVD from the NET CD? thank you.

[21:56] does anyone know if it is possible to use the intel wireless adapter in promisc mode to snif ethernet data? [21:57] ehllo' [21:57] toni81, ethernet data, no that's over the wire, wireless data probably [21:57] mengu: you need to make a partition for you linux [21:57] i am connected to a wired and wireless acces point and want to sniff the ethernet data from my wireless conection [21:58] lyhana8, he could use wubi right? [21:58] !samba [21:58] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

I just found some info in the ubuntu site regarding a net install [22:00] toni81, if you want to snoop ethernet data you'll need to install tcpdump or wireshark or something of the sort [22:00] toni81: as far as I know: not possible, the ethernet packets are not transmitted over the air - but better ask in ##networking [22:00] toni81: or aircrack-ng [22:01] ok thanks to both [22:01] guntbert, they can be if they're encapsulated using a different protocol, like a vpn [22:01] when you're running a program in the terminal, how can you run another program in the same terminal window without shutting down (crtl z) your current program? [22:01] wireshark is what i have installed now [22:01] hi all.. I'm trying to modifiy the xorg adding this http://dpaste.com/18174/ but I get an graphic safe mode...any ideas why?

[22:02] Daemon: to what ? [22:02] lyhana8: I beg your pardon? [22:02] hmm where would samba be ion my system... [22:03] IRC Chat [22:03] MadRSI: you can ctrl-z then type bg to background the process... or run the command initially with an ampersand at the end: $ command & [22:03] And why are your names yello? [22:03] *yellow [22:03] oops, didn't see your post frostburn [22:04] guntbert: « ethernet packets are not transmitted over the air » that was irony, wasn't it ? [22:04] This whole forum confuses me. [22:04] wrektjet, there's two parts to the samba package, the samba server (which allows you to host stuff on your linux box) and the samba client which allows you to access other samba servers or windows (non vista) shares [22:04] Daemon: do you have a support question? [22:04] Daemon: because we are aliens XD [22:04] Yes how do i interact with this damn Forum! [22:05] hello [22:05] "/list" without " " ok [22:05] hi all, installed xubuntu on a sony vaio rx550.

[22:06] hi [22:06] hi zmamel [22:06] I am having trouble with my Lenovo S10 and getting the sound and microphone to work. Any ideas? [22:06] lyhana8: not exactly as wireless protocol is not the same as ethernet proto, but anyway: an AP should not send everything it sees on the wire over the air too - but we're a bit off topic here :-) [22:07] hello everyone, I need some help im new in ubuntu 8.10 was running windows before well my problem is that ubuntu does not detect my dvd drive when I insert a cd o dvd i hear it run for a few second but nothing happens please help....

[22:07] Daemon: when you see this color <---------- we are talking to you [22:08] Daemon: you don't need to register on #ubuntu, if it's for another channel they have probably some documentation about it.

[22:21] josh-l, that's kind of nifty, i use awn [22:21] I find it odd that with file_mode=0777 and dir_mode=0777 in fstab (for cifs mount), and a umask of 0022, my mount point perms get changed to 555 when I mount... makes no sense to me :/ [22:21] eqisow1 or will I be limited to only using 64bit software?

[22:25] GillaGal, everything you need should be available. 64bit means that there's 64bits in the register of the cpu in question [22:25] GillaGal: no, there are single core 64bit processors. 64vs32 has to do with the available address space [22:26] !p2p [22:26] Peer-to-peer filesharing clients are available for several networks/protocols, including !BitTorrent, !Gnutella, !eDonkey, !DirectConnect, !SoulSeek - Multi-protocol engines include !MLDonkey and !giFT - See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information === sale_ is now known as sale [22:26] Hi ..
