[00:00] can anybody help me the network manager autodetect is looking for my cdma sprint card on ttyusb0 but the modem is on ttyusb1 how do i change this [00:00] How can I allow windows to go above the top of the screen? When they get there the window stops moving [00:00] Gnea: No, I can boot to an old Ubuntu install, but not my Wubi install under Windows. [00:00] is there a command-line application that allow to upload documents to googledocs? [00:01] wubi_pain: can you boot your windows cd into rescue mode and recover windows that way? [00:01] allright guys. Here's one for ya. Inside a script, i place gksudo gedit file/to/edit but no prompt appears. Solution? [00:01] :) [00:01] Gnea: Not my computer, and I doubt there is a rescue CD anymore. What we do have will reimage the whole driver. [00:01] :( [00:02] can someone recommend a good dock program for ubuntu 8.10? [00:02] cairo dock [00:02] although you should go to the bot's room and ask bestbot [00:02] !best [00:02] 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. [00:02] sstoveld: Seems weird, however, because any issue you encounter *might* be related to the fact you're running an alpha version, we're asking all jaunty users to join #ubuntu+1 [00:02] wubi_pain: my only other suggestion is to use your current ubuntu install to recreate the boot.ini somehow - you'll need to google what the boot.ini should look like with wubi on it [00:02] space_cadet: thanks. How do I get it to dissapear behind open windows? [00:02] oCean_, ok, thank you [00:03] k [00:03] Naesh, you can make it autohide down out of screen [00:03] ah I tried installing nvidia drivers for my emachines t2899 with geforce4 mx gfx card [00:03] Gnea: That might work, but I still need to be able to mount and replace the broken file. [00:03] however when it boots up [00:03] it tell me it failed ot load module "type 1" [00:03] Gnea: ...which I can't do currently. [00:03] space_cadet: thanks [00:03] not to be a bother [00:03] Naesh, and edit the callback zone, and give the callback zone a transparent background made in gimp [00:04] Anyone know of a program to open TurboCad files? [00:04] but did anyone encounter this problem b4 [00:04] wubi_pain: but you can boot into ubuntu on another partition, so why not? [00:04] so how do i call gksudo from within a script? [00:04] can someone tell me why none of my applications are launching [00:04] Gnea: Yes, I am on Ubuntu in another partition. [00:04] wubi_pain: again, why can't you access the partition that windows is installed on from there? [00:05] Gnea: I don't know. [00:05] wubi_pain: ... [00:05] wubi_pain: it's not under Places or Places->Computer? [00:06] Gnea: not directly, for sure. [00:06] wubi_pain, or in your nautilus window on the left side.? [00:06] can i use my 8.4 home partition with 8.10 on my laptop with out any issues? dual boot... [00:06] wubi_pain: is it that you don't know how to access it or that it's simply not showing up? [00:06] can someone tell me why none of my applications are launching [00:07] Gnea: Not sure. I think I've tried mounting all the correct mount points as NTFS, but mount isn't succeeding. [00:07] identify ammo1105janna [00:07] wubi_pain, you should see all of your disks/partitions in the file browser. [00:07] clear [00:07] space_cadet: Give me a sec, and I'll check what's there. [00:08] wubi_pain, like me, I have my external, my filesystem, my data partition, and my 91.4 GB media (windows) [00:08] sup -- I want to find out when the new wesnoth will make it into synaptic --- how do I find out? [00:08] opossum /join #wesnoth ? ? [00:09] space_cadet: it has nothing to do with themn [00:09] space_cadet: it's a downstream thing [00:10] space_cadet: Under Places, I have Home, Desktop, Computer, CD/DVD Creator, Network, Connect to Server..., Search for Files, and Recent Documents. [00:10] wubi_pain: well, you're going to need to do the following if you're going to hope for any success in the situation: a) find out which partition windows is installed on, b) fix the filesystem on there, if it needs fixing, c) make sure you're using the correct command to mount it with === Album is now known as Album|Awy [00:10] lol @ gnea that's a lot of luck there. [00:10] wubi_pain: could you please pastebin the output of the dmesg command? [00:10] gksudo inside a script. HOWTO? [00:11] !away > Album|Awy [00:11] Album|Awy, please see my private message [00:11] Gnea: I believe it is /dev/sdb2. and I'm using mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb2 /mnt [00:11] I found the GNU/Linux Web Radio & Podcast [(Oo)].....http://thelinuxlink.net/......Check it oput, it's cool info and fun talk. [00:11] wubi_pain: okay, you may want to consider using ntfs-3g for this [00:12] !ntfs-3g | wubi_pain [00:12] wubi_pain: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [00:12] wubi_pain, why arent you using /media/windows for your mountpoint? [00:12] Gnea: I don't know how to fix the filesystem if it's broken. [00:12] i just installed 8.10 dual boot with 8.04 on my laptop. i connect to the Internet using my CDMA sprint card. after install i try to connect using the auto connect, my modem is on Modem = /dev/ttyUSB1 according to gnome-pp auto detect, i get wvdial to connect, but when i use the auto connect feature it seems to be looking for ttyUSB0 there is no auto detect modem in network manager? and there is no way to manually edit it? so now how do i te [00:13] wubi_pain: no problem, start by installing the ntfsprogs package [00:13] Gnea: It's an old install, and apt-get seems to be hosed. [00:13] wubi_pain, aptitude [00:13] hi - im on intel dual core - this iso didnt work in my virtual machine.. the error was that "this kernel needs a x86-64 cpu, only found i686" or some shit - ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso [00:13] yo can any one tell me why none of my applications are launching [00:13] !ohmy | asm' [00:13] asm': Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [00:13] wubi_pain: what is the result of this command: lsb_release -r [00:13] space_cadet: Ok, I'll try aptitude [00:14] how do i tell network manager to look at ttyUSB1 for my CDMA card? === adful123 is now known as dsdeiz [00:14] hello is there any way to merge two partitions from different hard disks ? [00:14] asm`: use 32bit then?

[00:15] my main linux harddisk in running out of space, I added another hard disk, I mean,for example in order to install new packages is there any way to tell the system to continue installing all software in the new hard disk ? I do not want to format [00:15] wubi_pain: I highly recommend the following sequence then: a) upgrade, at the very least, to 8.04, b) continue on with ntfsprogs (which contains ntfsfix, which can fix your broken ntfs filesystem - but it works with ntfs-3g, not ntfs driver) [00:15] space_cadet: Not very familiar with aptitude; I'll see if I can find the NTFS-3g [00:16] jrib, true.. so my vm has to prob be 32-bit [00:16] ? [00:16] damnit [00:16] wubi_pain: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g [00:16] I screwed my tv/monitor up again [00:16] haha [00:16] wubi_pain, download an 8.04 or 8.10 disk, and run it in live mode. [00:16] EvilAIM: tone down the language please [00:16] Ok, what's the command to reconfigure xorg? [00:16] asm`: seems so.

[00:17] I just need to know the command. I think it's sudo dpkg reconfigure xorg? [00:17] EvilAIM: it says 'sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart' [00:17] space_cadet: good idea. I'll download a CD tomorrow, and burn it. For tonight, I'm going to continue to pursue the NTFS-3g angle. [00:17] EvilAIM, and you haven't tried it yet? [00:17] that won't work...

However, besides the volume being correcly unmounted, the mount point is also correctly removed. Does anyone know why this wrong message appears, or how can I fix it? [00:19] iceroot, see.

I have used it on a Windoze computer to log into a BSD one -- perhaps I can do that with my new ubuntu bos [01:04] puff: yes, so ubuntu live-system is supporting java .) [01:04] master, so did you lose internet access? [01:04] FrGord: just use scp or nautilus if you want a guy [01:04] gui* [01:05] FrGord, yes it will work [01:05] yes [01:05] My problem lies as this, I have connected my Desktop to my TV via VGA cables. I changed the resoltion, and now it says "mode not supported" [01:05] I wonder how hard it is to assemble a custom live C. [01:05] Er live CD. [01:05] I've tried a lot of stuff to no avail. [01:05] !remaster | puff [01:05] puff: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [01:05] FrGord, I mean to log in from windows to ubuntu [01:05] hi!, alguien que hable español! [01:05] iceroot: Cool! [01:05] k - scp then the IP address? [01:06] no, I'd like to log into BSD from Ubuntu [01:06] I've dist-upgraded to jaunty using apt-get... heh... that was fun =P Anyway, I doubt it has anything to do with it, but my network configs are all messed up (i think they were before, actually)... what script does the installer use to automatically generate the "defaults" for network config and can I just run it and "reset" of sorts? [01:06] Hey guys quick question: Why when I go to download Ubuntu 64bit it says AMD64? Is there no Intel 64 bit version? [01:06] puff: its very nice to build an own live-cd with all the stuff is needed [01:06] master, and have you tried rebooting to see if it fixes anything? [01:06] how do i change the resolution on the console? (Using ubuntu-server) [01:06] Hm, how much overhead does the desktop live CD add vs. the server live CD? [01:06] hi, how do I create a socket as a user? (I want to be able to echo to it and have the it come out in the "tail -f" command I'm also running on the file? [01:06] FrGord, don't know anything about that scenario, sorry [01:06] puff: "overhead"? [01:07] lfaraone: I need to set up 10 boxes that will all be running some fairly CPU & RAM intensive simulations. [01:07] many times and [01:07] KillerOrca, "Host is not communicatino for more than 15 seconds still waiting." [01:07] lfaraone: I *probably* don't *need* the dekstop stuff (X, etc) but it wouldn't hurt to have it around. [01:08] Should i assume something is wrong with my ssh install itself? [01:08] Guest44605, this is in winSCP? [01:08] puff: just install using the server install. [01:08] lfaraone: So the question is, what's the down side, how much load does it add? [01:08] KillerOrca, yes [01:08] puff: a lot :) [01:08] puff: just install it with apt if you need it. [01:08] I'm sure you already know, but the Beta of Jaunty has just been released: http://releases.ubuntu.com/jaunty/ [01:08] i ping it and the bars are strong [01:08] lfaraone: Do you really mean socket? Perhaps you mean fifo, a.k.a. named pipe? Or, for that matter, a plain file would meet your requirements to be able to echo and tail -f :-) [01:09] lfaraone: Were you not paying attnetion a moment ago? iceroot: The answer to my question is "no, the live CD doesn't support java, but you can install java after booting, IF you have network access the ubuntu repositories." [01:09] maxb: I don't want the contents recorded to the disk. ever. [01:09] Guest44605, yeah it might just be a setting, I've never messed with the ssh defaults and I've only gotten disconnected once in 6 months [01:09] u guys know aydin? [01:09] maxb: maybe I mean fifo. [01:09] got a question: disk usage analyser says i have 8gb free, gpartd says i have 8gb free, but its showing that my drive is full (e.g. error saying cant write to disk, full) ideas? [01:09] lfaraone: Try mkfifo then [01:09] Question about USB Pen Drives with Ubuntu. I was looking for a way to somehow make a USB flash drive "act" as a LiveCD... Is there a way to do that? Or is the only USB Pen Drive Ubuntu option just with actually doing a full blown install on it? [01:09] ok, I got it [01:09] I connected my other monitor and changed it back [01:09] thanks all [01:09] my firefox seams very slow to open up windows, can I reinstall it? [01:10] Droopsta915: you can delete your profile or make a new one and see if its any faster [01:10] KillerOrca, what should i do? (I didnt change anything i just set up ubuntu server 8.04 and installed it with that) [01:10] i'm having trouble with my desktop effects,when i select the "extra option" the top of all windows goes away,meaning the close,minimize,maximize/restore button disapear [01:10] maxb: thanks. [01:10] anyone knows what might be going wrong? [01:10] master, are you connecting via wireless or wired? [01:10] Roasted: If you have an Ubuntu computer handy, the usb-creator package is a program to write a livecd iso onto a usbstick doing appropriate format tweaks [01:10] zurn: Sorry, what do you mean by profile? [01:10] zurn: disk quotas enabled? [01:10] puff: and you don't have network access? [01:10] Droopsta915: firefox has profiles [01:10] zurn - question while you brought up profile. Is your "profile" in Ubuntu considered everything in your home directory, especially hidden files? [01:11] puff: and the desktop cd lacks java too :) [01:11] wried [01:11] u guys know aydin? [01:11] u guys know aydin? [01:11] i owe him something [01:11] moose86: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:11] Guest44605, well it might also be some settings on your windows box, have you tried from other boxes? [01:11] soz [01:11] maxb - I tried that, I'm on an ubuntu machine right now with a dell laptop next to me with no optical drive I'm trying to get linux on. I just bought a brand new 8gb flash drive and installed ubuntu to it with the create usb startup disk option, but my laptop is just hanging with a flashing dot. [01:11] maxb - I thought I did something wrong nad maybe didnt follow proper procedure so I figured I'd ask. [01:11] KillerOrca, no. [01:11] Roasted: profile has no meaning to Ubuntu in general. profile in this case refers to its meaning specifically in the context of Firefox [01:11] mobiGeek: no, no quotas [01:12] master, do you have a wireless option, or did you try any other ports on the router? [01:12] Droopsta915: from the command line, run "firefox --profilemanager" and make a new profile, see if its full [01:12] moose86: no, we don't. [01:12] no just wire [01:12] master, what about other ports on the router? [01:12] maxb - Oh, I see. I work in IT Support with mostly XP machines, so I have to deal with "default profiles" and stuff so each student tha logs into a computer has the EXACT same desktop icons, home page, etc. I was just curious how this would be handled in Ubuntu if we had Ubuntu machines instead of XP. How could you make a "default profile" for all students that log in via active directory on a domain? Is there an answer? [01:13] mobiGeek: let me correct that statement, i dont think so, are quotas enabled by default [01:13] lfaraone: I have to unplug ten linux boxes currently running funky custom "facilitized" fedora installs, drive them 10 hours to a secure facility, plug them back together in a self-contained network without external network access, and run a resource-intensive java-based simulation. [01:13] is there any way to turn off gdm in ubuntu 8.10? I use "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" but xinit and X and failsafeXinit are all still running. [01:13] zurn: i doubt it. [01:13] The funky fedora install is the reason for using a live CD instaead - can't just unplug them because they'll refuse to work right without various servers in their current network environment. [01:14] puff: well, you want to install java *before* you unplug them. [01:14] lfaraone: Heh, yeah. [01:14] puff: install them all with the livecd *now* and before you move install what you need. [01:14] zurn: that command opens firefox, im at my home page (google) [01:14] how do i change the resolution on the console? (Using ubuntu-server) [01:14] mobiGeek: any other ideas, i installed it with / being the majority of the drive (55gb) and swap partition; and of the 55gb, i have 47gb used, but it says its full... cant figure out why its seeing the last 8gb as 0k [01:14] anyone knows aydin??? [01:14] anyone knows aydin??? [01:14] anyone knows aydin??? [01:14] lfaraone: I can't just re-install them. [01:14] moose86: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:14] !fbdev | eseven73 [01:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about fbdev [01:14] can i install different window managers on separate user profiles? [01:14] !framebuffer [01:14] Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub [01:14] zurn: *what* says "it is full" ? [01:15] lfaraone: Hm, on second thought, I wonder how finicky it would be to install multiboot.... [01:15] Guest44605, it might be worth it to re-configure ssh on the ubuntu box [01:15] !framebuffer | eseven73 [01:15] eseven73: please see above [01:15] like KDE for one user and Gnome for another user [01:15] dr_willis: ok thx :D [01:15] Droopsta915: it should bring up a command - did you do the "--profilemanager" part? [01:15] BlackCoffee: window managers are typically installed in /usr [01:15] KillerOrca, how would i do that [01:15] bruenig: yes. [01:15] eseven73: i normally disable the framebuffer. :) it can slow thiongs down [01:15] bruenig: ops, sorry [01:15] BlackCoffee: yes. [01:15] the computer i'm on now is hooked up to the same link [01:15] mobiGeek: when i try to create a new file (even a txt file) it (nautilus) says it cant, disk full [01:15] BlackCoffee: you can change the WM in the login screen. [01:15] Roasted: Many flash drives ship without a partition table - they are formatted as just a single block device. Some BIOSes don't like to boot those. Insert the flash drive, and see what device name it is given - e.g. in mount. Is it something like /dev/sdc or /dev/sdc1 ? === bud is now known as Guest5107 [01:16] dr_willis: ok well its too large at the moment, even for my old eyes the print is just way too big [01:16] cool,i'm using gnome but wanna try kde and xfce [01:16] maxb - I already formatted it with fat32 in GParted before I even ran the create usb startup disk... [01:16] Guest1511, well you could just do a 'sudo apt-get remove && purge' then reinstall it, but you might need to do it at the box itself since you would lose ssh [01:16] dr_willis: do the framebuffer boot parms affect the way that X runs? I keep getting errors regardless of reconfigure xserver-xorg, etc. [01:16] kde is supposed to be already installed and with some basic configs on ubuntu right? [01:16] mobiGeek: and pretty much anything i do, when it tries to write a config file (e.g. filezilla ftp program, it says "cant write xml file, disk full?") [01:16] So the only changes from 9.04 alpha 6 to beta = cloud computing and mail server stuff.. [01:17] maxb - hang on a second, I think I know where my error is. [01:17] zurn: open a terminal and run the command "touch /tmp/foobar" [01:17] Roasted: That doesn't tell me whether you formatted the entire block devices as fat32, or a partition [01:17] mobiGeek: at one time ther ewas a X framebuffer driver.. but thats not used much any more so the 2 are unrelated [01:17] JanPeter: for jaunty discussions/issues join #ubuntu+1 [01:17] zurn: in the terminal I typed firefox --profilemanager [01:17] dr_willis: well, I've followed the Config/Resolution wiki steps. Any suggestion as to what to try next? [01:17] how do i check other ports [01:18] Hello, I need some help. I tried installing postgresql, but the package broke somehow. Now it seems that it is impossible for me to remove (It fails, giving an error about pre-removal scripts) [01:18] maxb - I found out what the problem was. Are you ready for the most intelligent answer ever? I have two flash drives. Both Sandisk. Both Identical. I was trying to boot from the wrong one.................... [01:18] mobiGeek: doesnt do anything (drops to new commandline prompt [01:18] zurn: now try: "ls -l /tmp/foobar" [01:18] mbrigdan: remove the prerm script from the dpkg database [01:18] mobiGeek: no idea what your problem is. sorry. You could try some live cds and see if you can find a working xorg.conf from them and try that one. [01:18] Roasted: lol. Oh well, at least it's a problem with an easy solution :-) [01:18] maxb - Currently Ubuntu is loading on my del llaptop. :) [01:18] BlackCoffee: Not really. KDE is not installed by default on Ubuntu, but you can do it with 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' [01:18] bruenig: How? [01:18] mbrigdan: it is in /var somewhere, I forget exactly where. locate prerm [01:19] BlackCoffee: and as for xfce, that is xubuntu-desktop [01:19] hey, anyone know off the top of your head how to set the gateway using ifconfig? [01:19] dr_willis: interesting. I know that the installer run X mostly fine. But once installed, X comes up with "unable to find a valid framebuffer device" [01:19] bruenig: Ok, thanks [01:19] thanks macrobad [01:19] the funny thing it says it is connection [01:19] dr_willis: google hasn't been overly helpful [01:19] mobiGeek: gives me a standard ls for it. i just deleted a 300mb file (installer) so ive got some free space now, but its still wierd; [01:19] Guest44605, this might answer some questions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto [01:19] mobiGeek: sounds like you got X configured to use the framebuffer.. which would be odd.. what video card are you using? [01:19] BlackCoffee: you're welcome :) [01:20] dr_willis: how can I tell? [01:20] I installed openssh-server on a box and even trying to ssh to localhost I get the following error: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host [01:20] !nvidia | mobiGeek [01:20] mobiGeek: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:20] any clues? [01:20] I just installed the server edition and I am trying to get the ethernet configured. [01:20] mobiGeek: the various wiki pages tell how to determins the video card. [01:20] mobiGeek: hardinfo (program under system \ pref.s) shows only 6gb free [01:20] shawncullen, did you install the ssh client? [01:20] Hi all, i have a question about a VPN connection on Ubuntu server 7.10, i need it to re establish in the event off a drop out anyone know how to set this up? It is a pptp vpn [01:20] Droopsta915: hold on [01:20] yep [01:20] * BlackCoffee is away installing many stuff that will amuse me. [01:21] shawncullen, here is the how to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto [01:21] shawncullen: tcp wrappers? [01:21] KillerOrca: read that.. [01:21] i even tried a differnt net card [01:21] macrobad: ?? [01:21] I'm on the same subnet under a router [01:21] Hello, does anyone know how I can get around this issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/elfutils/+bug/201075 ?? [01:21] shawncullen: well, if you don't know what it is, then most likely, tcp wrappers have nothing to do with your problem [01:22] Droopsta915: should look like this - http://bobpeers.com/img/firefox3/profile_manager.png [01:22] killerorca: it chokes on that howto at ssh localhost [01:22] master, and all your other computers connect to the internet I'm guessing? [01:22] KillerOrca: I get the error I pasted [01:22] KillerOrca, you know what, i give up. Im giving myself a headache over emule. [01:22] and ssh [01:22] macrobad: its a fairly stock hardy install x86 desktop [01:23] and I get that error localhost or over the network from the box I'm on now [01:23] KillerOrca, even though that ubuntu guide i think helped some. [01:23] shawncullen, so you opened up port 22 then? [01:23] SSh is more responsive at least now. [01:23] hmm [01:23] KillerOrca: there's no firewall in the base install of ubuntu [01:23] shawncullen: yes, tcpwrappers is a kind of "app-firewall" for nix machines, but it enables everything by default on Ubuntu [01:24] Guest44605, another web based torrenter is torrentflu, but it is way old [01:24] macrobad: would it give that error or just a port 22 connection refused? [01:24] shawncullen: there is one, iptables, but it also allows all the trafic by default [01:24] the others plus my phones work [01:24] mobiGeek: is there another way to determine why different programs show different 'free space' and which is true? [01:24] shawncullen, are you tring to connect to ubuntu via windows over ssh? [01:25] master, are you using dial-up? [01:25] macrobad: nope, another ubuntu box, and that box itself [01:25] shawncullen: well, I don't remember the precise error, but it *does* allow you to establish a connection [01:25] shawncullen: the best way to do is to run ssh and sshd in debug mode, and see what happens [01:25] macrobad: and I just checked to be sure, no one has messed with iptables or tcpwrapper [01:25] sshd -D -ddd [01:25] I know I didn't and its my buddies box [01:25] shawncullen, so you installed both parts on both machines? [01:26] oi [01:26] no cable high speed [01:26] ssh -ddd [01:26] fudeu [01:26] alguem falara Português ?? [01:26] KillerOrca: I did on the local, I didn't on this, but I verified I can ssh to this localhost [01:26] Brasil [01:26] KillerOrca: yep, its on this host too [01:27] master, ok the phones part confused me, and you have opened up the network manager? [01:27] KillerOrca: I'll have to brb to run the sshd in debug mode, hafta share kbs and its on the other side of the house [01:27] shawncullen: by the way, do you use key or password authentication? [01:28] shawncullen: check if ~/.ssh is not readable to anyone but you [01:28] The minute I figure out wake on lan this is going to be much easier [01:28] i have vonage and magic jack phones they work off the net [01:29] master, ok but you opened up the network manager to see if it is working? [01:30] zurn: found it ...firefox -profilemanager [01:30] what is recommend to make you lapto finger print reader to work with ubuntu? [01:30] zurn: What am I looking for? [01:30] Droopsta915: oh well, it works with both since - and double -- for me [01:30] Droopsta915: make a new profile open it (rather than your default) [01:31] Droopsta915: surf around, see if its any quicker; if so, copy your bookmarks over [01:31] zurn:Does give me a fresh new start? [01:31] is there a way to do shortcuts with the keyboard for Ubuntu? [01:31] the one on the task bar [01:31] where/ [01:31] master: where/ [01:31] master, yes open that up and see what the status is [01:31] Droopsta915: yea [01:32] does anyone know why my monitor resolution would be set to be 1px off what it's supposed to be. my xorg.conf says 1920x1200, but the monitor OSD reports 1921x1200 [01:32] i think it's causing some blur on the display === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [01:32] Hi all need help, i have a vpn connection (PPTP) that i need to reconect if it drops for any reason at all, can anyone help? === john is now known as Guest95493 [01:32] KillerOrca: macrobad: it didn't create sshd user for privilege separation, i created and its all better, weird problem [01:33] Can anyone help me with IP issues? [01:33] jfir, so change your xorg.conf to read the correct resolution :-) [01:33] Can I uninstall firefox and reinstall through synaptic [01:33] Droopsta915, yeah [01:33] fbc: it does read the correct resolution [01:33] thanks [01:33] dr_willis: I have a Matrox MGA G200e. /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows that it loads mga_drv.so (v1.4.9). THen it attempts to open /dev/fb0, fb1, ... fb7 then exits with "Unable tof find a vaild frramebuffer device" [01:33] Can someone clarify this for me? Jaunty Jackalope apparently is ubuntu testing v9.10, but ubuntu has a 6month release cycle.. with releases in april/october.. why is it that karmic koala is also 9.10 but will be released in october? [01:34] jfir, make the change in xorf config and change it. [01:34] Jaunty beta live cd?? Or is it dvd only???? [01:34] it has as all the ip adderss and enabled [01:34] what is recommend to make you laptop finger print reader to work with ubuntu? [01:34] gangsta you dont need it [01:34] Isn't it so that testing will be retagged to 'stable' in april, and named 'Karmic Koala'? [01:34] by testing I mean jaunty [01:34] fbc: change it to what... the wrong resolution? [01:34] clearscreen1 Jaunty is 9.04, Karmic is 9.10 [01:34] fbc: it's already set correctly [01:35] jfir, change it to 1921.. what your osd reports. it's not going to damage it.. promise. [01:35] Jaunty is in beta, Karmic isn't even in alpha yet. [01:35] ripps: aha. is it worth it to start upgrading to jaunty? or will it bring compatibility issues when it becomes 'stable'? [01:35] don't suppose anyone knows about the SCTP protocol? [01:35] master, it seems like everything should be working correctly, are you sure the browser just isn't set to work offline? [01:35] When uninstalling firefox through synaptic, do I uninstall anything with the word firefox init? [01:36] fbc: fingerprints are actually not as secure as they might look like: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2008/04/german_minister.html [01:36] fbc: is this normal? i have an identical monitor next to it in an nvidia twinview setup. the other monitor says 1920x1200 on the OSD and it looks ok [01:36] clearscreen1: it worth it in that you help make it stable for everyone else by finding and reporting any bugs before release. [01:36] fbc: but still, I second your question [01:36] got a question: df say 6gb free, disk usage analyser says 8gb free, gpartd says 8gb free, when i get down to 4gb (so df 2gb free, disk usage & gparted 4gb free) it starts giving me error "28 No space left on device" - IDEAS? [01:36] fbc: i'll try it and restart anyway [01:36] April 23rd - 9.04 official release [01:36] clearscreen1: I'm using Jaunty now, and it's pretty good. [01:36] jfir, that way you can check if you bluring problem goes away... also if your connected through your vga cable that a normal problem, if your connected through the digital cable you would get the right resolution. [01:36] join #ubuntu-es [01:36] fbc: i'm on dvi [01:36] Droopsta915: if you are using synaptic - you can just reinstall [01:37] ok, then it's odd why your getting that resolution of your osd reports a larger/better resolution. [01:37] necesito entrar al canal de ubuntu en español [01:37] jfir, but it won't break it to try... [01:37] ripps: I don't mind my system failing and reporting the bug. I'm just worried that the transition process from intrepid to jaunty will be different than from jaunty testing to jaunty stable [01:37] david_, ubuntu-es [01:37] si [01:37] master, I have to go, sorry, good luck [01:38] david_, then go to that channel (entonces vete a ese canal) [01:38] no se como entrar [01:38] david_, /join #ubuntu-es [01:38] clearscreen1: I upgraded to Jaunty over a month ago when it was in only alpha3, I haven't had any trasition troubles with the upgrade. [01:38] anyone in her had to deal with pptp vpn dropouts? [01:38] lime wire the weather from screenlets and browsers will not connect [01:38] ripps: alright cool, I'll give it a try [01:39] clearscreen1: Make sure to backup any important files, just in case. [01:39] zurn:Does the reinstall delete everything and start with a fresh new firefox? [01:39] Anyone get the bluetooth device working on a Compaq V6000? [01:39] i'm having trouble with my desktop effects,when i select the "extra option" the top of all windows goes away,meaning the close,minimize,maximize/restore button disapear [01:39] zurn:Ill just do it thank for the help. [01:39] Mine doesn't show up as a device on the bluetooth application [01:41] Question - I just booted up to my LiveCD ISO image that I have on my USB flash drive as a startup disk. The laptop is hanging here at (initramfs) with a flashing underscore. What can I do toget this laptop to boot?

[01:44] #emacs [01:44] Arthur_:did you install 8.10 with an own /home ? [01:45] Hey all: I just installed ubuntu server. I am trying to get ubuntu desktop (gnome) installed as well, so that I have a GUI to use. When I try to, it says "E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-desktop". I have internet access working properly. [01:45] Alestan1: sudo aptitude install gnome [01:46] try that in terminal [01:46] Alestan1: which repositorys do you have enabled? [01:46] Ace2: ubuntu, and related problems. C'mon, what's the name of the room? :-) [01:47] phaer: I went to /etc/apt/sources.list and enabled all the ones listed there === rachel is now known as Guest40906 [01:47] Can one change the background individually for each desktop?

[01:49] Ace2: It must have been refreshing, but I bet it felt very unusual. [01:49] is that true, everything that works in KU buntu, works on U buntu too? because both of them are a debian linux? [01:49] kde apps and gnome apps [01:49] Ace2: yes [01:49] whats the command to start openssl as a service [01:49] incompatiblity without certain files [01:49] Ace2: but kde using qt, gnome using gtk+ [01:49] Ace2: yes, but because they're both ubuntu variants, not because they're both based on debian [01:50] in the begining I had troubles with root password... and other adding softwares... [01:50] Ace2:generally yes, but libs differ, so for stabiltiy it's better to saty withing one type [01:50] looks like rebooting and then apt-get update fixed it [01:50] but it were all gone when I reinstall the system.... [01:50] Alestan1: you dont have to reboot a linux-system. only if you change the kernel [01:50] least it has found the sources this time around [01:51] Alestan1: fine :) [01:51] when you say ' stay within one type' you mean 'not dual boot of buntus' right?

[01:59] I don't expect a diagnosis from "my laptop is crashing, halp!" :) === kalpik_ is now known as kalpik [01:59] Question - I just booted up to my LiveCD ISO image that I have on my USB flash drive as a startup disk. The laptop is hanging here at (initramfs) with a flashing underscore. What can I do toget this laptop to boot? [01:59] any suggestions on rolling back the update?

[02:03] aixenv: depends on the drive!?? [02:03] hrm. why would the drive manufact impact speed? [02:04] aixenv: hdparm provides such options, but read the manual carefully before using that cmd [02:04] im just talkin abotu write/read speeds [02:04] DasEi: i dont have one yet :) [02:04] man hdparm [02:04] aixenv: hdparm -t device [02:04] aixenv: to test the speed [02:04] ill rephrase.. i dont have "ubuntu" yet [02:05] aixenv: so, yes and yes , and...

[02:05] !anyone | farlig [02:05] farlig: 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? [02:05] I have a laptop here with a widescreen but I'm having trouble playing a dvd in full widescreen [02:05] weird... nothing i updated could cause this. all ghostscript updates [02:05] bloody hell [02:06] *bye [02:06] keithclark: using which player? vlc works fine with widescreen [02:06] how do i add special characters to tesseract? i want the swedish charset with the extra letters åäö to work with the program [02:06] does an update through X11 store packages somewhere other than /var/cache/apt when it downloads then? [02:06] DasEi - Another question, sort of related, sort of not. I'm trying my same flash drive to boot to a desktop. Half of the time, it boots with the LiveCD image that's on the USB flash drive, as expected. The otehr half, it just says I/O Error. But if I reboot once or twice it comse back and works. Weird??? [02:06] using update manager [02:06] iceroot: doesn't seem to [02:06] sputnik: no [02:06] sputnik: you can delete them with sudo apt-get clean [02:07] Roasted:check the UNmounted stick (f.e. from live-cd) with e2fsck [02:07] or: [02:07] !fsck [02:07] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [02:08] right. was just looking at the dates on thiose files to see what was last installed [02:08] hoping to find something that looked like it could cause a kernel panic [02:08] DasEi - Can I force a file system check on the flash drive while plugged into my Ubuntu desktop I'm typing with now? Or does it have to be done during power up/down? [02:09] Roasted:I sometimes experienced probs with same stick on different comps ( they got altered by use), so always a good idea to have a copy on a second one (dd) [02:09] iceroot: thanks for trying though. [02:09] which is the general small talk channel?

Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [02:09] DasEi - Well I guess using a USB flash drive as a way to install Ubuntu in the future on mutliple machines kind of makes me out of luck, huh? [02:09] iceroot: ty [02:10] TommyCorn: np [02:10] Roasted: don't think so [02:10] Roasted: I spoke of using them as os on different comps [02:11] What if I set it so theres NO extra space on the usb flash drive for additional storage for settings? When I created it it asked me how much space I wanted to allocate for system settings. [02:11] desktop effects still not working,actually they're not working since i typed gconftool-2 -s '/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager' --type bool true on the desktop.... [02:11] I've set up printers in Ubuntu before, but this time around I had to resort to using Cups to set it up (it was an SMB printer). Test pages work fine, and my user can print to the printer, but *no* cups printers are listed in the drop down (i.e. Kate's print dialog) for another user. I've never seen this. Can someone point me in the direction of what I need to check? I assume it's permissions, but what and where? [02:11] anyway to reverse that? [02:11] Roasted: what size has the stick ? [02:12] anyone know where the netinet/ip_fw.h in ubuntu? I can't find it anywhere [02:12] DasEi - 4gb [02:13] Roasted: that's big enough, unless you don't put lot's of additional stuff on it, can check with df [02:13] goodnight for you! [02:13] how to check if a system is 32 or 64 bits ? [02:14] maxagaz: uname [02:14] Roasted: but as they are cheap, it's a good idea to have a similar backup. though usbcreator is very convienient, too [02:14] DasEi - Yeah, but the create usb startup disk option I remember being defaulted as 128mb. I wonder if it's somehow writing system settings to that portion of the flash drive and it interferes with other computers like I'm experiencing. [02:14] BlackCoffee: So, you enabled Metacity's compositing manager instead of Compiz's one... Imho, the easiest solution is to revert the setting from 'true' to 'false', and restart X server (Ctrl+Alt+BkSp) [02:14] phaer_, what about this: Linux xuandu 2.6.24-23-server #1 SMP Thu Nov 27 19:19:15 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux ? [02:14] maxagaz: uname -m [02:14] who knows where "netinet/ip_fw.h" is located at? [02:15] maxagaz: 32bit, if you dont see 64 somewhere ;) [02:15] Roasted: might be if use it as a OS [02:15] maxagaz: That will give you i686 if 32 or x86_64 if 64 [02:15] afallenhope: apt-file search ip_fw.h [02:15] maxagaz: of course this will be different if you're running on sparc, powerpc, etc. [02:15] DasEi - I jsut don't see how my USB flash drive with the LiveCD ISO on it would act any differently than an actual LiveCD... [02:16] afallenhope: he knows! [02:16] installin e17 (unstable) can be risky for the system generaly ? or can it just migfth not work . and i can eazily select another window manager from the session and be safe? [02:16] afallenhope: libuclibc-dev: /usr/i386-uclibc-linux/include/netinet/ip_fw.h [02:16] AHA! [02:16] phaer_, pedahzur, thanks [02:16] maxagaz: np [02:16] maxagaz: sure [02:16] i found a dpkg.log. I did install a bunch of stuff yesterday that could be causing the kernel panics. how do i install an older version of a package? [02:17] Roasted: the lives - as it's not writeable, holds changes in ram, a usb is writeable .. [02:17] macrobad, thanks [02:18] DasEi - There's an option here to discard any additional changes upon shut down. Maybe that would help my case and keep the actual LiveCD ISO on the USB flash drive the same way after installing on 30 computers as it was the day I made it. Maybe? === CafeCargado is now known as BlackCoffee [02:18] afallenhope: np. apt-file is something everybody should be aware of :) [02:18] macrobad: ya could've told me i was going to logoff LOL i really freaked out for about two secs [02:19] could anyone help me with nrpe? [02:19] Roastd:yes, but still won't prevent fs-errors (flash mem is not as reliable as f.e. hd) [02:19] btw,it worked,so again,thanks [02:20] BlackCoffee: :) Well, basically restarting X server equals to logging off from any graphical environments. Sry, I forgot to clarify that point. [02:20] macrobad, I was trying to compile something and kept getting that issue. now I should be able to comile it and play ^_^ [02:20] afallenhope: great! [02:20] Hm, I'm trying to bring this machine up with a live CD (8.10), and both "try it before installing" and "check CD" give me a popup with simply "/casper/vmlinuz"' [02:20] DasEi - well, that was a bust. Just formatted the flash drive, made a new USB startup disk, booted to it for the FIRST TIME on an HP dc5100, BAM - first try, I/O errorl ike before. Guess that doesnt work after all!

[02:23] i need some help. i got an error message and couldn't log into gnome. it was an ~/.xsession-errors file. it said mkdtemp: private socket dir: permission denied. I did some searching on the internet and I'm pretty sure the partition with Ubuntu is full. i ran a command chmod a+w something, it just changed the error message to cannot find a safe socket path in /tmp. [02:23] afallenhope: I don't remember there were any Contents-*.gz in ubuntu repos. Normally, these are Packges.gz, like http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/partner/binary-amd64/Packages.gz or http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/partner/source/Sources.gz [02:24] macrobad, where do I add those? [02:25] Roasted: if you're just looking for a reliable installation method, consider using the alternate netinstall, as it's less huge and easy to re-record [02:25] afallenhope: I suppose the scripts you're using are not meant for Ubuntu, but you can try either of those links, or just trim the basename of a file, and browse the directories. Generally, though, you should not have to do it. [02:26] ok,i disabled metacity,now i can use the desktop effects but still i don't have the"close,minimize,maximize/restore" buttons on any windows [02:26] continued...So I am stuck at terminal and I don't really know how to use it.

[02:44] Quick question, In a tutorial I am -trying- I need to make a (directory) I am using the "mkdir" cmd but not mater where I place it, I get a error.....No File/Folder Found. [02:44] does anybody know if it's possible to mount a casper.rw and pull the files out of it? [02:44] Hello everyone I am having some trouble... http://paste.ubuntu.com/138671/ is the error message... it was working fine yesterday and the only thing that has changed since then is that i turned off the computer [02:44] caine607: on the d/l page there you can find the hash of the file, then md5sum blahblah.iso , compare the result with the hash; next use cd's option verify medium [02:44] Do I need to Manually browse to the Section and m k d i r myself? [02:44] i did the df, my hard drive is not full, it is only using 14%. when i try to log into gnome or kde for that matter it says that i hvae been logged in for less than 10 secs and suggest that i use failsafe [02:44] any ideas? [02:44] i actually seem to have a new problem now.example:when i change workspaces with my mouse wheel i only see a white image instead of the typical small computer that is supposed to appear.also i was just starting synaptic and had a white image too instead of "something" [02:44] Hmm, seems like a bunch of new people asking new people questions. [02:44] DasEi: thanks, in progress [02:44] washburnello: casper.rw ?? [02:45] I guess I will try kubuntu even though I have ubuntu [02:45] jamnz: Never mind. The user just realized she had selected "Generic LPD" in the "print system currently used." Sorry for the noise. Thanks. [02:45] do i have to install zd1211-firmware on ubuntu 8.04 ? [02:46] DasEi: I have a friend, who's new to Ubuntu, who has been using a liveUSB install. He set all the leftover space as file space and then tried to update it. It hasn't worked since. [02:46] What, how can I be "banned" from kubuntu. [02:46] no desktop effects for me :( [02:46] what gives. [02:47] I think i said the word sh*t once. [02:47] JustinNFX: ask in #ubuntu-ops [02:47] and if you keep yappin in here ul be banned here too === defcon is now known as Guest15791 [02:47] washburnello: and now you want to safe files from the dead os ? [02:47] it's been over 5 days, wow, harsh punishment === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:47] DasEi: any ideas on how to verify CD on windows? I used InfraRecorder as suggested by ubuntu.com but I can't find a verify o ption. [02:47] yeah [02:47] maybe they're republicans [02:48] New to Linux/Ubuntu here....I successfully setup pptp and can remotely access the server and a local web server. However, I can't forward traffic outside of my LAN, can anyone point me in the direction of information that might allow my traffic to be forwarded? [02:48] how do you upgrade distros without downloading the iso and installing it? [02:48] can you do it in a shell? [02:48] caine607: there is a tool, google md5sum, then select from properties (#windows) [02:48] Anyways, maybe you guys can help.. I am trying to use the "mkdir" command. I get a error no such file/folder. Do i need to make folder Manually? [02:48] DasEi: I verified the md5sum [02:48] keres: ubunt uhas a update-manager you can use [02:48] DasEi: it checks out as ok. [02:48] Republicans...lol [02:48] DasEi: On the iso I downloade [02:48] kitche, usage? [02:48] +d [02:49] theres the rush limbaughs of irc [02:49] JustinNFX: if the folder that your trying to make is inside a non-existant directory you need to use mkdir -p [02:49] JustinNFX: stay topic; sudo mkdir DirName doesn't work ? [02:49] JustinNFX, the -p means make the parent folders [02:49] kitche, what is the syntax? [02:50] keres: update-manager [02:50] caine607:boot the cd, installe has option check media (for burning issuses) [02:50] keres: I beleive the newer ubuntu's though use a different command [02:50] kitche, that's it? i'm on 8.04 will that upgrade me to 8,1? [02:50] DasEi: Check CD gets the same "boot loader" dialogue [02:51] last try...why can't i see my little computers when i exchange workspaces!?why don't i have minimize or maximize buttons on my window borders?why do i get blanks where there's supposed to be something,like system messages and such... [02:51] I used infrarecorder, it defaulted to "max speed" for burning [02:51] This is the folder im trying to create. Im running 64bit ubuntu, but i need to make 32bit Boxee work: mkdir /usr/chroot/intrepid-32-bit [02:51] keres you might need the -c option but I m not sure [02:51] caine607: so prbly a bad burn :-( [02:51] JustinNFX: and does /usr/chroot exist if not you need to use the mkdir -p command [02:51] So I would do a mkdir -p /usr/chroot/intrepid-32bit [02:51] DasEi: if I copy the casper.rw to my HD and make a new liveUSB then copy it back, will that work? [02:52] with sudo infront JustinNFX [02:52] Hm, wonder why they did not catch that in the tutorial since they said to make it anywhere [02:52] DasEi: Whats a good speed? 4x? [02:52] so, I have a question, I'm using the technique described here, http://technical-itch.co.uk/2006/11/06/how-to-access-your-windows-hard-drive-from-ubuntu/, to mount my windows folders on my dual booting desktop, but it seems like I need to redo thid every time it reboots. Is there a way arround this? [02:52] caine607: slowest, if probs, better another burner [02:52] dasei: i did the df, my hard drive is only using 14%. when i try to login into gnome it says that i have been logged in for less than 10 seconds and tells me to try failsafe. Any suggestions? [02:52] DasEi: thanks! [02:52] This chat would be nice if you could use bold and italics :-) [02:52] and smileys [02:52] !fstab | christopher [02:52] christopher: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [02:53] washburnello: why not do a new install on usb ? [02:53] DasEi: there are important files on it [02:53] shadey4: so it's no diskfull, try to boot failsafe and from there an update [02:54] ok,it's settled.i'll hang myself in the morning.life's not worth living without decent upper window borders! [02:54] kitche: One more things, when I was browsing nautilus I noticed that in the "file system" you can not create folder, is that normal? [02:54] washburnello: I asked that above; so save them before [02:54] BlackCoffee, try turning off compiz [02:54] dasei: thanks [02:54] JustinNFX: yes unless you open nautilus with sudo powers gksu nautilus is the command [02:54] anyone to help me install nvidia drivers? [02:54] turning it off eh...lemme see [02:54] BlackCoffee, or: metacity --replace [02:55] actually metacity made quite a mess moments ago [02:55] DasEi: well, the file's don't show on the mounted USB. just the casper.rw [02:55] BlackCoffee, metacity is the default for gnome [02:55] kitche: what is the directory that get you to the desktop, and where would you if you had to normaly install a program install it? [02:55] washburnello: mount the drive, f.e. from a live and copy the files to hd or other medium [02:55] I can't find the file /ect/fstab [02:55] christopher, /etc/fstab [02:56] that was a typo [02:56] DasEi: ok, I'll try that [02:56] I still can't find it [02:56] DasEi: thanks [02:56] christopher, alright a UNIX filesystem is like this [02:56] Where do you install most files under usr/bin/lib [02:56] Titan8990;i had put a command on the term [02:56] gconftool-2 -s '/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager' --type bool true [02:56] You know what? I've tried to play this dvd here.....it does not work. XP=Work....I don't know what else to do. Sorry.. [02:56] JustinNFX: ~/Desktop is the fodler ~ means home and I usually install to /usr but if it's a deb it will go into /usr anyways unless it's setup to go to /usr/local [02:57] but it didn't work [02:57] it made things worse since i couldn't even switch between effects modes [02:57] christopher, / <---- is the root of the entire filesystem. /etc <---- indicates a directory in root of the filesytem [02:57] Desktop does not have a full directory? [02:57] !tab [02:57] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [02:57] christopher, then fstab is the file in the /etc directory [02:57] maybe i have to disable metacity totally before using compiz? [02:58] !help [02:58] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [02:58] I know that [02:58] BlackCoffee, no [02:58] BlackCoffee, compiz-manager is the command to start compiz [02:58] I'm helping a friend compile code from source...but can't remember the command to run to build a .deb instead of make install...anyone know what I'm talking about? [02:58] BlackCoffee, its a script and includes --replace so it replaces current window manager [02:58] In OpenOffice.org Calc, is it possible to only allow some specific input in a column (or a set of cells)? In one column I only want to be able to enter "A" "C" and "D". [02:59] BlackCoffee: fusion-icon is the command but if you want you can kill metacity then just do compiz --replace & [02:59] dick-richardson: checkinstall [02:59] macrobad, you are the man!!!

[03:16] yes [03:16] corigo1: you can also use tracepath [03:16] is the terminal called a "shell" [03:16] thats the problem i think [03:17] JustinNFX: basically, yes :) [03:17] i tryed linux32 sh ./et.run [03:17] JustinNFX: no [03:17] but that dosent work ither [03:17] thanks javajake! [03:17] JustinNFX: the shell runs in the terminal [03:17] JustinNFX: well, the shell is a program that runs on a terminal [03:17] kalidar: you need the 32bit [03:17] LjL: pwned [03:17] :D [03:17] how do i get that?

[03:18] javaJake: not really, you aren't using a "shell" when you're running say nano [03:18] you mean apt-cache search i did [03:18] thanks sandsmark! [03:18] i downoaded all of them [03:18] 3 times [03:18] heh [03:18] LjL: mmm, perhaps... anyways, I won't argue about it :) [03:18] kalidar: is there a 32bit package ?

[03:18] nope it dosent say weather their bitrate or not [03:18] LjL: the shell is still running, per se [03:18] just says their version [03:18] it's just suspended [03:18] so i download the ones they told me to [03:18] the 2.1 and the gtk 2.0 [03:18] kalidar: don't et have a 64bit version ? [03:19] sandsmark: and i never said otherwise [03:19] i dunno... [03:19] i could try [03:19] looking for it [03:19] javaJake: not really, you aren't using a "shell" when you're running say nano [03:19] sigh...

[03:42] land: means it found the server, but the server refused to let you connect [03:42] ultratek, its going to be there, just stick with open source radeon for now [03:42] actually on my laptop i did not have to install my drivers, but on my mainframe I could not even get ubuntu to run because I have ATI card that wont work with ubuntu [03:43] kalidar: I'm not sure [03:43] I don't use ubuntu myself [03:43] ultratek, change fglrx to radeon in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:43] bbl thanks all [03:43] hallo [03:43] javaJake, they don't want me in? [03:43] land: generally means there's a firewall or router blocking, or the service isn't available on that computer [03:43] kalidar: but try downloading a recent version from here: http://www.fileshack.com/browse.x/1773 [03:43] /home/kalidar/.setup21590: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [03:43] The setup program seems to have failed on x86/glibc-2.1 [03:43] JustinNFX, yeah man! I had the SAME problem trying to install 8.10. Didn't work. [03:43] kalidar, this is the old gtk libgtk1.2, sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2 [03:43] I decided to install 8.04 for now. [03:43] i have a random question....how do you change the text of the menu's and dates in ubuntu....the top bar [03:43] Did you try safe graffic mode that helped a little for me? [03:43] usser, my screen is bad when i load normally so i cant boot up to login though [03:43] I have a radeon HD 2600XT card myself.. [03:44] ok usr i sware i alredy installed that befor tho [03:44] My screen went blank during install until I used safe graffic mode [03:44] trolling the forums like crazy, but I'm having trouble finding a driver. [03:44] javajake, could it be that the server is having issues? [03:44] I think I have the same card actually [03:44] ynk: and you got it too work [03:44] land: oh, definitely :) [03:44] i see [03:45] what was that link for [03:45] well, i'm using the drivers Ubuntu gave me, which seem to be from ATI. [03:45] tnx, javajake [03:45] the fileplanet one [03:45] kalidar: a new version of ET [03:45] is that the newest et? [03:45] yeah [03:45] post link again XD [03:45] please [03:45] JustinNFX, but there seems to be no 3D acceleration enabled. [03:45] http://www.fileshack.com/browse.x/1773 [03:45] so usser can i play you with et? [03:45] i installed ircii,how do i get it to run? === sam___ is now known as oiajsdf [03:45] if we boath have same version? [03:46] isn't there any way to quickly test the 3D capabilities of my card? [03:46] found it thanks sands [03:46] ultratek, ctrl+alt+f1 to switch to console on login, and sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf change fglrx to radeon save and restart [03:46] thansk usser [03:46] If ubuntu became commerical they would probably get rid of the terminal, make you go through stupid install screens, and make you answer ok for eveything. In my opinion it would have to be too dumbed down since majority of people can barely use microsoft. Even I have hard time with ms sometimes [03:46] ynk: from a terminal type glxgears === qcjn is now known as theqcjn [03:46] ynk, glxinfo [03:47] Thanks guys.

[03:49] i hadent realized i had the old version [03:49] so im just gona try again once i get the new [03:50] kalidar: maybe ET have their own channel here on freenode ? [03:50] is the new from the fileshack posted above? :S [03:50] nebbes, download the source for firefox, unpack, run ./configure, then sudo checkinstall from within the directory where firefox sources are downloaded [03:50] hi guys, what's wrong with this: http://cecunguk.blankonlinux.or.id/~andika/kernel-crash-20090326.log [03:50] naw probs not [03:50] I have an AMD 64 (opteron) machine with only onboard video of 2MB. What's a good resource for looking up cheap but ubuntu-friendly graphics cards/chipsets for an amd64 system? [03:50] its all god tho [03:50] JustinNFX, you know what.. I think I could have installed 8.10. I was getting stuck at "Initframs" command line and didn't know what to do afterwards. [03:50] nebbes what does nightly build mean, and how do you get two version of ff installed? [03:50] hello [03:50] i have a problem [03:50] im cool with dowloading the version you gave me [03:50] usser: will that keep it updated though?

[03:51] Other than graphic problems (i got sorted out by using safe graphic mode) I got an error when trying to resize my hard drive. I will deff try out 8.04 since im starting to like ubuntu more and more.

[04:02] raven, thats strange, i just installed on my 8.10 64 bit server [04:02] hey [04:02] AWESOME [04:03] raven, libsynce0-dev PUBLISHED: Intrepid pocket Release in component universe and section libs [04:03] I wannannananann talk about ubuntu [04:03] i don't understand why i can't find the java-package on one server but can on another [04:03] ynk: Netbooks are perfect for class There screen are what like 10" im going to dual boot it with this program I got that lets you browse the web, and take notes and more w/out even booting up your computer so you just whip it out like a pda or something. [04:04] anyone have iptables experience? [04:04] JustinNFX, if only they had that tablet functionality. LoL, I personally don't want anything smaller than 12.1" [04:04] The file or folder help:/kdenlive/index.html does not exist === Guest57594 is now known as qax [04:04] JustinNFX: what app is that? i'm on a eeepc rnow [04:04] how can I add this? [04:04] Guest57594: enable mulriverse === qax is now known as qaxx [04:04] i did [04:05] still doesn't work [04:05] qaxx: sudo apt-get update [04:05] usser then anything is broken here i cannot install anything on my own because make does not work [04:05] where does one change the system name.. [04:05] for 8.10? [04:05] bonez46: /etc/hostname ? [04:05] jenna^^_: I don't know it came on my asus cd with my motherboard. Its awesome you can play games and everything. I can burn a ISO image if you want to try it out? === jetx is now known as jetscreamer [04:05] !hostname | bonez46 [04:05] bonez46: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [04:06] iceroot: thanks, i'm a tit.. forgot to update after changing multiverse [04:06] raven, for make to work it has to know how to make, thats why you run ./configure, configure checks if all the dependencies needed to build the package are present and if any is missing it fails, so make fails as well [04:06] qaxx: np [04:06] raven, what are you trying to build anyway? [04:06] JustinNFX: naw, lets keep the channel legit . . [04:06] ah ok [04:07] just thought your interested [04:07] where does GDM store its available session-configurations? [04:07] lstarnes: hmmm on my 8.10 desktop.. System > Admin > Networking has no " General tab.. [04:07] vdccm usser to use synce - at this point i had to go xthousands of steps back already and it won't stop ;) [04:07] i do not know what to do any more [04:07] hello, i am having trouble with a midi program. i am using timidity and it will not run with firefox open [04:08] chop: /usr/share/xsessions/ [04:08] crdlb: so it has something to do with Compfiz that sorta makes since I think afer I installed it that is when the "full screen" delma started to happen. [04:08] thanks [04:08] usser and another step because of another error...: onfigure: Building with dccm file support [04:08] checking for DBUS... no [04:08] configure: error: odccm support requested but D-Bus could not be found [04:09] JustinNFX: yes, install compizconfig-settings-manager [04:09] ynk: If you mind what tablet are you thinking of buying and how much $$ [04:09] I already did crdlb [04:09] raven, you'll get lots of it, what you need to do is figure out which packages provide needed dependencies for dbus you need dbus-1-dev [04:09] how do i acquire the "Python OpenGL" support and "Python GTKGLExt" support? [04:09] JustinNFX: go to system > prefs > compizconfig settings manager, then go to Workarounds and disable Legacy fullscreen support [04:10] Speaking off compfiz how come I can never get the cool CUBE things working it just flips back and forth destops [04:10] JustinNFX, I'm getting the HP tx2000z series. basic price range is 950 bux. [04:10] ynk, sudo apt-get install python-gtkglext1 [04:10] usser now its "hal support" - seems to become a neverending story :| [04:10] usser, thanks buddy. [04:10] does ubuntu support tablet functionality? [04:11] raven, as i said building is a painful process, building something complex is infinitely more painful cause complex software depends on a lot of things [04:11] ynk: yikes only thing I don't like about tablets and handhelds are there price. But I guess if you have it flawn it :-) [04:11] shade34321, good question.. might be a pain getting drivers for a tablet's touchscreen feature. [04:11] raven, sudo apt-get install libhal-dev [04:11] JustinNFX: also in ccsm, General Options > Desktop Size > Horizontal virtual size = 4 [04:11] usser ok - i'll keep trying but thanks a lot for the moment already ;) [04:11] raven, no problem [04:12] JustinNFX, i thought 950 for a tablet was pretty darn reasonable! LoL, they usually go for much much more. [04:12] if i install Kubuntu fromn synaptic,how much space will it use? [04:12] but it is possible though right? [04:12] crdlb: You think that will fix Korganizers full screen error. I got that before I installed compfiz.. and is this just a KDE problem? === c is now known as charitwo [04:12] can i add encryption to a dual boot system (xp) after it's already been set up? [04:12] has anyone installed cruise control on intrepid [04:12] JustinNFX: compiz is enabled by default unless you turn it off [04:13] JustinNFX: and the standard gnome window manager (metacity) has a similar feature, but it seems a bit more reliable [04:13] ShinyHat: what kind of encryption? [04:14] well, i build my own pc and stuff and the most i will put down is 650$ I bought a laptop 2.9ghz intel dual core, 64bit, 4gig memory and a 250gb hd for only $600 [04:14] andika: not sure, new to encrypting but think it's a good idea on a laptop. any suggestions? something that could keep data secure even if someone removed the hdd? [04:14] wtf - why would my server die wheil installing java? [04:15] ShinyHat: I use truecrypt to do 'portable' encryption on Ubuntu & XP [04:15] and Im cheap so netbooks appeal to me also there real neat and better than lugging around a 15in lappy around. [04:15] got to Setting up sun-java6-bin (6-10-0ubuntu2) ... then all my ssh died and i can't reconnect [04:15] andika: can i add that to a working system, or would i have to start over? [04:16] ShinyHat: just install, no need to start over [04:16] i'm not sure how long this is going to lag through the network i'm on but i'm having issues with hotkeys on my computer. I have hotkeys for volume but the hotkeys are linked to a different device than the one i'm using. can someone help? [04:16] andika: and it would secure the hdd even if mounted in a different machine? [04:17] ynk: do you have the link to the tablet. Nokia has this real nice (real expensive) handheld that runs a stipped down linux. The only thing that keeping me back from buying it is i heard the linux lacks many basic programs like a word editor. [04:17] ShinyHat: yup, as long as you don't save the password on disk [04:18] andika: lol, or write it on a post-it stuck to the keyboard? [04:18] JustinNFX, i'll get you a link. give me a second.. i'm also playing chess in the background. haha [04:18] andika: i would imagine i have to keep /boot unencrypted? === glickinator is now known as glick [04:19] ShinyHat: well, my truecrypt usage is not for the whole system, but only a special partition [04:19] Since the Kindle II came out and there not selling the OG, I found a used (like new) on there site for $200 I just bought. Im sorta kicking myself for the lack of PDF support. [04:19] ShinyHat: need different method for whole system encryption [04:19] I'm wondering if I should of got the sony read for only $100 more. [04:20] what do you guys think "Sony Reader" or "Kindle One"? [04:20] andika: is truecrypt capable of encrypting an xp partition? [04:20] i cannot share folders on ntfs partition using jaunty beta...help! [04:21] un2him: try asking in #ubuntu+1 [04:21] lstarnes: thanks [04:21] ShinyHat: no, but you can access a truecrypt-encrypted partition from XP [04:21] i have kdebase installed,how come i can't select KDE as WM at the logon screen? [04:21] I am happy!!! [04:21] I finally was able to get my ubuntu back up!! [04:22] ynk: did you ever heaard of dropbox?? it is this program that you add both your linux, and windows too and share files over a internet foler by just dragging and dropping. [04:22] andika: i see, alright. i will keep true crypt in mind, thanks for the tip :) [04:22] although I had to reinstall it, but no data loss....awesome [04:22] Hey all, I figured out how to get my tv+ubuntu working properly. [04:22] IMO the best program for ubuntu [04:22] EvilAIM: hey can you share the same? maybe write a blog about it, please? [04:22] Ya, I'll get on it. [04:22] !info dropbox [04:22] JustinNFX, wow! that sounds awesome! [04:22] Package dropbox does not exist in intrepid [04:23] !atheros [04:23] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:23] Anyone have any idea what the best desktop speakers are? [04:23] hey all a friend of mine install ubuntu seems she now has to reinstall windows for what ever resion is there a program on ubuntu that can let her view her windows partions and let ubuntu mount it ??? [04:23] JustinNFX, so it resides online? [04:23] i'm having issues with hotkeys on my computer. I have hotkeys for volume but the hotkeys are linked to a different device than the one i'm using. can someone help? [04:23] I'm looking by price and really, none are what I'm lookin' for.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:23] I'm looking for HD quality. [04:23] any ideas would be apreshated [04:23] you get like 2gb to add to your dropbox folder and when you drop files into or download files it somehow miracuously does it instantly you dont wait for the upload [04:23] anyone ever use kdenlive? Trying to find out how to add keyframes... [04:24] kravlin: your computer type might be incorrectly detected by hotkey script [04:24] JustinNFX, is it free? [04:24] FSWolf: yeah, Ubuntu can do that on its own, it just needs to 'see' the partitions, which it usually can by default [04:24] Yes, its online because its for windows and linux. Its free for the 2gb version for now, but more space it cost to upgrade. [04:24] where would it show up [04:24] I was trying to run a DNS Server to host information for domains I've purchased. Someone told me that it is not allowed to make updates to the Root DNS Records - or something along these lines - and that I shouldn't be doing it this way. [04:24] aparently its in media [04:24] not in [04:24] sorry [04:25] JustinNFX, and what exactly is the limit on file size? i'm sure it couldn't be more than 10 megs.. [04:25] you can also drop like torrent file in there while your a way from how and your pc at home will automatically download it [04:25] usually if I click on 'Places', it'll be in the list as whatever size of the partition is [04:25] anybody know how to resolve this error in Gnome-art "ruby: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i486-linux/gtk2.so: undefined symbol: gtk_file_system_error_quark'? [04:25] ynk: nope a whole 2gb [04:25] JustinNFX: url? [04:25] kravlin: do you use hotkey-setup package? [04:25] kravlin: check /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup script [04:25] www.getdropbox.com its totted as the gdrive killer :-) [04:26] How do I do the equivalent of sudo in the gui? [04:26] Gnea: was that directed tword me ? [04:26] Gnea: in places [04:26] FSWolf: yes. [04:26] Yomic: call that gui with sudo [04:26] Gnea: FileSystem>PlaceS? [04:26] is anyone familiar with BIND that I could speak with? [04:27] Yomic: gksudo (gnome) or kdesudo (kde) [04:27] Dei: yes [04:27] FSWolf: have you not used ubuntu before? [04:27] I have three computer installed one that is remote, and two that are one that same computer so I can share files between linux and windows easy [04:27] i put i on my sisters computer :P [04:27] i use debian [04:27] this a friend [04:27] JustinNFX: looks interesting. too bad the dropboxd is closed-source :p [04:27] she needs help i dont care for that OS [04:28] debian is better in every way :P [04:28] FSWolf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:28] it not hard to install either if I could do it anybody could [04:28] quit FloodBot2 ! i flood u not XD [04:28] Justin take a look at Samba [04:28] * meshuggah slaps FloodBot2 [04:28] hee,instaling xfce,kde and blackbox [04:28] FSWolf: heh, I used to use Debian for years. Still use it on a few systems. :) [04:28] I thought they give you the source file for the linux version? [04:29] FSWolf: I happen to think that Ubuntu has made strides where Debian can/will not make them. But, that is beside the point, and off-topic. [04:29] Gnea: that it eh i dont use it graphicly either so im not sure how to guide her unless i just go to my sisters computer and work there :? or shh into her system and try to find it my self [04:29] I will stick to dropbox i don't think any thing can beat trust me all I used my computer for is downloading and torrents [04:29] is Python and C/C++ always coupled with every Linux distro? [04:29] id have to agree [04:29] andika: yes. I am using hotkey-setup. i'm in the config file right now. [04:29] cryit [04:29] ynk not every one [04:29] yes you are right Gnea buts not as "manly" [04:29] FSWolf: well, if you want to help support her on it, perhaps install it in vmware or virtualbox [04:30] FSWolf: don't even go there ;) [04:30] :) ok nothing in places Sir [04:30] any other ideas ? [04:30] Sound won't work. I got it working by checking off the IEC958 switch in vol. control but then I did a system update and sound didn't work after that. The card is not muted, connection is good, volume up, i've grabbed drivers from a fresh kernel, i've reinstalled alsa, but cannot get sound. Any advice? [04:30] One thing that seems strange: in sound preferences everything is set to alsa, however alsamixer shows the card and chip as "pulseaudio". My card is a realtek. [04:30] ynk, the most basic linux distro will only have the basic c libraries. [04:30] FSWolf: did she actually install windows yet? [04:30] I use a program called Idrive for auto backup if you refer a friend you get 10gb for free, and its super fast it transfers at like 400kb a second. too bad its only for windows [04:31] has anyone ever installed windows after linux?ubuntu to be more specific? [04:31] BlackCoffee: yes. XP or Vista? [04:31] LlamaZorz, why do the majority of them also include python? is it because a lot of apps on the *nix are developed in Python? [04:31] Windows after Linux = BAD [04:31] !dualboot [04:31] BlackCoffee: no but im interested in what someone has to say [04:31] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [04:31] yes [04:31] windows is there [04:32] she was some fucking pictures of kids or some shit [04:32] I was told all you have to do if fix gnome [04:32] i wanna install xp [04:32] she wasnt smart enought to back it up on a seperate drive [04:32] FSWolf: watch the language [04:32] !language | FSWolf (this isn't #debian, mind that.)

[04:32] cool,thanks [04:32] !grub | BlackCoffee [04:32] BlackCoffee: 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 === N4 is now known as NanMalm [04:33] BlackCoffee: you'll lose grub after installing Windows. See above to fix it. [04:33] there are also articles on there for Vista, and for the other way around. <3 that site [04:33] nice [04:33] Hi everyone [04:33] you people know too much [04:33] FSWolf: I'm really not sure at this point. she might be able to get at it through Places->Computer... but if she has internet access, she might as well open xchat and get on here and ask herself [04:33] andika: however, most of these are presets for prebuilt computers, this isn't a prebuilt. i'm using an eclipse keyboard and my sound always starts on full. [04:33] Gnea: kim4249 is the one who having this issue [04:33] wow [04:33] So, as someone who has only recently stepped into the Linux world, specifically Ubuntu... I am confused about Ubuntu's relationship with Debian. I read the web page on Ubuntu.com related to the topic, but my ignorance of Debian is still too overwhelming. [04:33] anyone know a workaround for using a ATI card that makes the screen go blank during install? [04:33] I have a rather strange problem - keyboard stops accepting input during 8.04.2 install. Tried several keyboards, ps2 and usb, same deal - using standard and alternate installation images. Any suggestions? [04:33] could u join us in #PRivateTec [04:34] !debian | FloridaN8ve [04:34] nope [04:34] FloridaN8ve: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [04:34] we'll do it here. [04:34] #Privatetec [04:34] FSWolf: nothing doing. [04:34] FloridaN8ve: That question would be better off asked in #ubuntu-offtopic, we'd be glad to spend the time answering your questions there. [04:34] could someone please help me [04:34] whoda thunk installing java could wreck 8.10 ec2 beta, bah... note to self, don't use betas [04:34] kim4249: you're trying to read your NTFS drive from Ubuntu? [04:34] kravlin: so create your own hotkey configuration [04:34] Is ubuntu always buggy with ATI would buying a NVIDA card be worth the $$$? [04:34] Sound won't work. I got it working by checking off the IEC958 switch in vol. control but then I did a system update and sound didn't work after that. The card is not muted, connection is good, volume up, i've grabbed drivers from a fresh kernel, i've reinstalled alsa, but cannot get sound. Any advice?

[04:35] we are in the new room :)) #Privatetec [04:35] <[biabia]> Help? Need command on ubuntu like chkconfig and/or ntsysv [04:35] so we can all read easyt LOL [04:35] JustinNFX: ya but ATI has open up there new drivers [04:35] !xev [04:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about xev [04:35] JustinNFX: like say 4730 on wards [04:35] FSWolf: it's better to do it here, in case it helps someone else [04:35] rww: I cant even install with my ATI the screen goes blank! [04:35] !help [04:35] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [04:35] ok [04:35] FSWolf: or in case someone else has another option to help [04:35] any thing beyond 4300 series Radeon JustinNFX [04:36] ok [04:36] :) [04:36] then when i use safe graffic mode it wont let me resize my hard drive.. its crazy hard .. and it never worked [04:36] andika: what's xev? sorry, i'm not insanely familiar with ubuntu yet. I'm actually worried it might be a problem with the sound drivers because as i said. it's always on full when i start up. [04:36] yeah i think my is like 2400, of 2200 radeon. [04:36] shes using irssi btw :) [04:36] JustinNFX: which graphic card your using [04:36] might as well start off in linux correctly [04:36] JustinNFX: I have a Radeon HD 3450. Open source drivers work fine in 2D, fglrx works fine in 3D. Very new cards and very old cards have problems, so I guess I got the sweet spot. [04:36] with the terminal [04:36] Radeon [04:36] okey [04:36] :) [04:36] hopefully she knows how to type/speak for herself :) [04:37] hello [04:37] hello [04:37] kravlin: xev is a tool to check which keycode(s) is/are generated for any key pressed [04:37] yes she does :) [04:37] I am just so confused [04:37] kim4249: did you see my message above? [04:37] then you use numbers returned by xev to make your hotkey config [04:37] i am new here [04:37] not sure, the room is moving so fast [04:37] kim4249: that's okay, we can take it step-by-step until you understand [04:37] I don't underestand because the ATI card is actually better with graffics then my brand new intel card on my lappy which works fine with ubuntu [04:38] * FSWolf smiles thank sso much Gnea [04:38] im kinda new to ubuntu could somone help me in changing my soundcard from the onboard to my audigy 4? [04:38] andika: i'm not having problems because the hotkeys work. They just change the volume on the wrong device. [04:38] ok gnea, I installed ubuntu and did dual boot but windows XP wont work now [04:38] How can I find out more information about the gnome games? like what graphics did they use? glib or cario or what? [04:38] kim4249: since you're using irrsi, you should be able to see the highlight when I'm typing like this [04:38] yes [04:38] !virtualbox [04:38] I mean glade [04:38] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [04:39] kim4249: okay, by 'not work', does that mean that it simply won't boot up or there is no option to boot into windows or.. something else? [04:39] So, if I were to buy another video card (under $100) if i were to play it safe go with a semi-new Nvida. [04:39] kim4249: Second on the virtualbox motion. It's the only windows I use / need. Wine does most, VB does the rest. [04:39] Nvida seems to have a love relationship with ubuntu. [04:39] the windows XP option is there at startup but when I click on it then it just has black screen that says starting and goes no further [04:39] yeah but i still can't get my oldie nvidia graphic card to work properly [04:39] kravlin: what do you mean by "wrong device"? [04:40] Anybody recommend a economic but efficient card for use with ubuntu and the upcomming distros? [04:40] I've been using Linux, mainly Ubuntu, for about 3 years. Haven't used Windows @ home in a while. I have several thousand dollars in Audio Production software which is winblows only. I wanted to use it again so I installed fresh WinXp. Everything is fine. I installed Xubuntu 8.04 and the Network Autoconfig failed. I tried to manually configure and it won't initialize the interface. So I tried a Mandriva 2009.0 disc - no network. DSL [04:40] im kinda new to ubuntu could somone help me in changing my soundcard from the onboard to my audigy 4? [04:40] kim4249: are you able to press F8 in time to get to the advanced bootup menu for windows? [04:40] JustinNFX: upcoming releases, you mean? [04:40] any ideas for my issue? or did the question get buried? [04:40] JustinNFX: ubuntu is the distro [04:40] yes I have enough time I can do that but didnt know to [04:40] is it possible to add more startup programs to a gdm-session .desktop file? [04:40] tritum: sorry, yeah released like the next one [04:40] releases* [04:40] tweaksource, btw, the you know a linux program that is like acid music? [04:41] Try LMMS === max is now known as Guest53672 [04:41] kim4249: give it a shot - try 'last known good configuration' and if that doesn't work, 'safe mode' .. perhaps the problem will fix itself or will become apparent [04:41] this keyboard is horrible if i type too fast menus pop up that prevent me from typing [04:41] meshugga audacity is like acid pro... [04:41] tweaksource, ok thank [04:41] tweaksource: will your software not run on virtualbox? [04:41] texincali, maybe i should try it :) [04:41] ok gnea, I will try it, thanks [04:41] tweaksource: Reason runs awesome on virtualbox [04:41] kim4249: and if it doesn't, let us know :) [04:41] window up [04:42] Also try thr ubuntu-studio-audio pgk, meshuggah [04:42] andika: when i look at my volume control i have 7 different devices listed for some reason. the one i want to use isn't the one that changes when i push the hotkey however. [04:42] * g4lt-lappy hands jenna^^_ a / ;P [04:42] So, I know there are some geekz out there what it is a semi decent GPU Card to buy? [04:42] Has anybody had a problem with there CPU fan running on max since you've install ubuntu? === ynk is now known as ynk^m [04:42] could somone walk me through in setting up my sound so that i use my audigy card and not my onboard sound card? [04:42] thanks, i am always losing mine ^^ [04:42] JustinNFX: Yeah you are probably safe with a new nvidia card. Check out newegg comments among nvidia cards and get one that speaks to you. [04:42] JustinNFX: I use nVidia, particularly for my myth boxes, but it depends on your needs, and what you'll use your machine for. [04:42] :)) well i hope that works for her [04:42] brb a sec i need food [04:42] andika: the one that controls my sound levels i hear is not the one that adjusts with the hotkeys. [04:42] green: no my cpu fan haas actually slowed down believe it or not nice and quiet [04:43] grenn: I've seen that problem around. Check the forums. [04:43] watch your routers all.. just read about a linux bot-net on Digg [04:43] I love newegg [04:43] on many sites i see text as gibrish and it clears when i hover with the mouse. any idea what wrong? [04:43] texincali: did you turn off the onboard sound in your BIOS? [04:43] hai all, the ubuntu GNOME screen is showing "Out of Frequency". GUI is not working. How to reset that. It had worked well before [04:43] how can i setup midi on my computer? === ynk^m is now known as ynk [04:43] is there a way to test internet explorer on linux? [04:43] i want to be able to use the virtual midi piano? [04:43] P3ngv1n-Fvck3r: link please - that's huge if true [04:43] JustinNFX: Agreed. [04:44] TwoTone, Xubuntu guest in WinXP host connects fine, if that's your question. [04:44] kravlin: sorry then, I don't remember how to connect or modify connection between volume_up/down to any specific device control [04:44] If I was making a HTCP I would have to get a graphic card that has a in and a out right? one for the cable to go to the HTCP, and another cable to go to the TV???? [04:44] Oh, my bad. [04:44] HFactor: You are probably out of range for resolution. Google "ubuntu resolution terminal" and you'll find a way to change it from the terminal. [04:44] no becouse i use both for sound mixing in windows....one for sampling the sounds and one for what is actualy heard in windows.... [04:44] quizme: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page [04:44] TwoToneSpirit, http://www.linux-magazine.com/online/news/psyb0t_attacks_linux_routers_update [04:44] replace graphic card with tv tuner [04:44] i want to set up my audigy to be the default [04:44] The issue with VirtualBox and recording audio in the guest is the USB or Firewire interface scene. [04:44] JustinNFX: no, you'd need a tuner card. Integrated graphics are sufficient for HTPCs. [04:45] kravlin: thanks [04:45] yeah that what i meant im sorry [04:45] P3ngv1n-Fvck3r: Please keep offtopic chatter to a minimum. Thanks. Also, check your queries. [04:45] tweaksouce: No, haha, that room is moving so fast. I was asking what software you use for audio production and if it will work with VIrutalbox. Reason, which I was frequently, rocks hard on Virtualbox. No detectable performance hit whatsoever. [04:45] andika: thanks anyways, as i said. i'm worried it's not recognizing the card early enough anyways. I have an hd onboard that doesn't work with my 2.1 system. I got a cheap card and this happened. [04:45] how does tv tuner work one plug goes the the HTCP and one plug hooks to a wire that goes to your tv for tvout??? [04:46] Flannel, sure, sorry. forgot [04:46] Flannel: I asked him to post that link - it's very important [04:46] JustinNFX: First, put the person you're talking to in the message. most IRC clients highlight the message for that user then. Second, I've got no idea then. Sorry. [04:46] TwoToneSpirit, flannel is right tho [04:46] TwoToneSpirit, should have pm'd ya [04:46] is it possible to have different user sessions just using the workspaces? [04:46] JustinNFX: the TV tuner has a coax input. For a modern HTPC, you'd want HDMI or DVI out to our high-def television. [04:47] My hotkeys point towards a different device than the one that controls my sound can someone help? (ask for more info) [04:47] kravlin: i use both sound cards i want to set up my audigy to be the default sound card... [04:47] It is quite a chore to keep up in here. [04:47] like your cable goes into the HTCP so you can record, pause, and play, then there is a female which allow the cable to go from the tuner directly to the tv [04:47] JustinNFX: no [04:47] i know that im just trying to figure out in my mind how they record and tv output [04:48] texincali: yeah, unfortunately don't know a whole lot more. keep asking and hopefully someone will be able to help you. [04:48] JustinNFX: it's offtopic for this channel [04:48] could somone help me set up my audigy 4 to be my default soundcard instead of my onboard so i can use it to listen to music? [04:48] tritium: im sorry i thought it had to do with ubuntu since ubuntu makes a mythtv [04:49] i will never mention it again [04:49] JustinNFX: #ubuntu-mythtv, if you care to ask in there [04:49] texincali, sometimes you can disable onboard sound in the BIOS === andika is now known as andika-afk [04:49] titan8990: i dont want to disable the onboard i use both in windows.... [04:49] JustinNFX: Ubuntu doesn't make mythTV. It's another group that makes Myth for all platforms. [04:50] kravlin: he's referring to mythbuntu [04:50] texincali, the will probably need to blacklist the alsa modules for the onboard sound [04:50] tritium: ah. makes sense. === Album is now known as Album|Awy [04:50] titan8890: how do i do that [04:50] kravlin if you would like to explain how to put person you're talking to in the message i will do it (it been 8 years since I used IRC) [04:50] !blacklist | texincali [04:50] texincali: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [04:51] / confused [04:51] kravlin: I mean that they make a version of ubuntu i am sorry I did not make it more clear [04:51] im a noob [04:51] :-P [04:51] texincali, what is your onboard sound card? [04:51] JustinNFX: mythbuntu is what you're referring to. /join #ubuntu-mythtv [04:51] via 8237 [04:52] forget it i was just curious, not really pressing on me that bad [04:52] JustinNFX: got both. I'm not trying to be hostle. Sorry if i came off that way. [04:52] TwoToneSpirit, so, what did you think about the botnet? [04:52] JustinNFX, i think i found an easy way to install netbeans, buddy. LoL [04:52] texincali, no idea what module it is [04:52] when i plug my speakers into the onboard my sound works fine...but i want to use the audigy 4 becouse it has more "options" [04:52] ynk: serious the 6.5 version I know you can get nbean 6.0 in add/remove [04:53] i have no idea [04:53] texincali, sudo lsmod | grep snd [04:53] My hotkeys point towards a different device than the one that controls my output can someone help? [04:53] JustinNFX, aw man. here i am, thinking i just did something amazing. lmao [04:53] texincali, wait, the card doesn't work at all? [04:53] kravlin: how do you directly speak to the user your chatting to its been atleast 7 years since i used mIRC [04:53] im not getting any sound from my audigy.... [04:54] but i am from my onboard [04:54] !soundblaster | texincali [04:54] texincali: soundblaster is If you need help with setting up your soundblaster card, then visit https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundcardsWithHardwareSynth [04:54] it works fine in windows so the card works [04:54] ynk: tell me if you can get a server to work with reg netbeans, and also tell me if you can open a javascript file by hiting new files, then going to other. [04:54] texincali, I know nothing about configuring them, but they do need to be configured [04:54] and it see's the soundcard and says its there [04:54] i changed my screen resolution in GNOME, now monitor says "Out of Freq". How to get back. I cant get inside GNOME now [04:54] texincali, you can check that link [04:54] ok [04:54] ynk: that is why im trying to upgrade it seems that even after i install the servers and stuff it dont work [04:54] JustinNFX: if you just put their name in like you have it'll highlight what you said to them in most clients. that way it's easier to have a conversation going on. [04:55] HFactor, try ctl-alt-bksp [04:55] JustinNFX, sure. it's still installing. [04:55] or better ctl-alt-f1 for a console [04:56] kravlin: so, i was doing it right you the person name then this symbol " : " [04:56] I'm trying to connect to my ubuntu desktop (I've already enabled Remote Desktop), but when I connect from VNC I get a dialog box saying 'No matching security types'. What is wrong here? [04:56] amitb, sounds like you need to diable encryption [04:57] or you can do it like this. Welcome back JustinNFX. As long as their name is in there it'll highlight it. [04:57] kravlin: http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/398547-volume-hotkey-configuration.html#post1889771 [04:57] before I waste my money, anyone have a positive result for a buffalo 5-in-1 card reader? [04:57] b3rz3rk3r: disable encryption where? [04:57] * JPSman licks all of you - I like you [04:57] usser? [04:57] amitb: on your vnc client (the one you are connecting from) [04:57] kravlin: Through synaptic I installed Zend for PHP and a Ruby Framework plus ruby IDE, and the files are no where to be seen, any idea [04:58] JustinNFX, TBH, you can just type in the first couple letters then tabcomplete ;P [04:58] amitb, on the linux side - remote desktop. Just disable using encryption [04:58] g4lt-lappy explain! [04:58] g4lt-lappy, OH I DID it [04:58] thanks [04:58] b3rz3rk3r: he might be connecting from a windows box with vnc enterprise encryption on. [04:58] i have a Question [04:59] awesome stuff im going to put it in my linux book of super secret knowledge [04:59] lol [04:59] QPrime, true [04:59] QPrime: I'm using the free vncviewer 4 on Windows. [04:59] JustinNFX: i'm pretty much as clueless as you. I just started really using linux this last year because it was easier to log into my College's computers with it. I'm still learning things all the time. [04:59] JustinNFX, what I typically do for you is j-u-s-t-, most IRC clients will complete the nick when you press tab [04:59] amitb, what OS are ytou connecting form? [04:59] can any one read this? [04:59] b3rz3rk3r: vista. [04:59] Oliver...ask it. [04:59] oliver__: Just ask away [04:59] b3rz3rk3r: I've also tried from Mac using chicken of vnc, same result [05:00] amitb, make sure that you arent running encryption on the windows side either [05:00] amitb: the no matching security types usually indicates an encryption or auth problem (client and server not agreeing on the settings) [05:00] b3rz3rk3r: there no option for encryption on windows client. [05:00] amitb, if you need security run it thru SSH, or openDNS [05:00] andika-afk: that's basically what happens but it doesn't do anything to my hotkeys. [05:00] amitb, did you disable it on the linux side too? [05:00] g4lt-lappy, kravlin ynk so when I do this do the message go staight to everybody and no one else can see them? plug does it show all the names i put in or no [05:00] You can't forward VNC over SSH. [05:00] Is the channel named "apache" meant for generic discussion about the web server? It says there are 299 users over there but there hasn't been anything written in the past 10 minutes I've been watching. [05:01] amitb, and are you appeding the port number to the end of the ip? [05:01] b3rz3rk3r: I don't know if I have enabled it. [05:01] plus* [05:01] can i some how connect through a network from a windows OS to Ubuntu and have/use dual monitors [05:01] amitb, as in xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xx [05:01] b3rz3rk3r: yes I'm appending port number. [05:01] amitb, ok [05:01] JustinNFX, no it still goes out toeveryone. /msg foo message is a private message, it's frowned upon in help channels though [05:01] b3rz3rk3r: amitb-desktop:5900 [05:01] JustinNFX: no, everyone can see them. However, we get it in red, or blue or some other shiny color. It shows our names. [05:01] tweaksource: why not? its tcp and a fixed port. [05:02] amitb, check that under your linux remote desktop settings, use encryption is disabled [05:02] I can ssh into my linux machine, but how can I check if encryption is enabled? [05:02] andika-afk: chepoxxx has my problem on that link. however unfortunately no answer was ever posted. [05:03] amitb-> by default ssh meant secure link [05:03] is there a "best practices" guide to maintaining an Ubuntu system up to date (apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade) ? [05:03] kravlin: you still need help with your keys? [05:03] i had vista and ubuntu in my system........later on i formatted my vista partition and reinstalled vista........now i canot boot into ubuntu even though its presenrt on the system.................pks help [05:03] amitb, under the advanced settings, uncheck - require encrytion [05:03] amitb, see if that helps things? [05:03] kravlin: for adjusting your audio [05:03] !grub | saurabh [05:04] saurabh: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [05:04] oliver__: I suspect the answer is "most likely yes, but it could take some effort." (A lot of the remote desktop solutions, including X itself, were designed before multiple monitors were common.) Have you tried VNC? [05:04] texincali: yep. [05:04] saurabh: you need to restore grub [05:04] hey is there a minimal iso available for jaunty so i can beta it? [05:04] QPrime: My bad, I stand corrected. http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/VNC/vnc-over-ssh.html [05:04] kravlin: ok go to system then to sounds [05:04] amitb, i dont use vista, so i dont know about that side of things [05:04] I don't have physical access to my linux machine right now, so I can't go and change or even check if encryption is enabled in remote desktop. All I can do is ssh into the machine. [05:04] texincali: yeah, basic story is that i have hotkeys and 7 different devices, the hotkeys work but they change the wrong device. [05:04] tritium:how to restore grub [05:04] b3rz3rk3r: I have access to Vista, Mac and XP right now. [05:04] is their a development channel? [05:04] amitb, grr.. that makes things rather difficult [05:04] saurabh: I had ubottu send you info above. Scroll up. [05:04] no, i tried to google for anything but couldn't find anything... [05:05] tweaksource: np :) [05:05] texincali: done. [05:05] amitb, iv had it running under Xp just fine before [05:05] kravlin: oh i was ganna say change the default mixer tracks to your soundcard [05:05] when trying to open help in kdenlive and a few other programs I get this error [05:05] The file or folder help:/kdenlive/index.html does not exist. [05:05] are the remote desktop settings stored somewhere on disk? [05:05] http://www.openssh.com/macos.html [05:05] that I can go and check in a config file or something? [05:05] hello... synce-serial-start gives me "Warning! You have firewall rules that may prevent SynCE from working properly!" but my firewall tells me, that it's OFF! my ppc can connect for maximun one minute and then the connection is terminated - who could help? [05:06] texincali: already tried that. I've changed them all but they still affect the wrong device. [05:06] raven-> umm what command did you verify that your firewall is off? [05:06] Anyone in here have experience with psychotic network cards? [05:06] sudo ufw status [05:07] and the connection info... [05:07] raven do it this way instead sudo iptables -vL [05:07] tweaksource: What about sseing a doctor? [05:07] what is the ubuntu package that covers everything you need to be able to build stuff from source (or the basics at least) [05:07] amitb, im sure that they are stored somewhere, but as to where is beyond me im afraid [05:07] Hamled build-essential [05:07] thanks [05:07] Hamled: build-essentials? [05:08] yeah, I always forget the name [05:08] build-essential [05:08] dont forget the linux-headers too [05:08] isn't that only for stuff that uses the kernel? [05:09] tweaksource: you are correct sir :) [05:09] A rare occurance, my friend. [05:09] I've been using Linux, mainly Ubuntu, for about 3 years. Haven't used Windows @ home in a while. I have several thousand dollars in Audio Production software which is winblows only. I wanted to use it again so I installed fresh WinXp. Everything is fine. I installed Xubuntu 8.04 and the Network Autoconfig failed. I tried to manually configure and it won't initialize the interface. So I tried a Mandriva 2009.0 disc - no network. DSL [05:10] Hamled: headers are referenced by many applications during compilation. [05:10] When you install jargon where does it go? [05:10] JKoltner> will remote desktop software alow dual monitors? [05:10] QPrime: okay, good to know [05:10] b3rz3rk3r: Ok found the settings for remote-desktop, in ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/remote_access, there indeed is a 'require_encryption' entry. [05:10] Realtek 8101L onboard lan? [05:10] I am currently running ubuntu 8.1, and attempting to check out windows7 in virtualbox, but am unable to do so. [05:11] amitb, ok great.. set that to value = 0 [05:11] hey guys, what commands do i need to install ubuntu/gnome (complete default install) using minimal iso? (need to use it cause i have cdrom issues with my laptop) [05:11] .. [05:11] http://tech.norabble.com/2006/07/dual-monitor-remote-desktop-goodness.html [05:11] QPrime: I have a friend who is trying to compile some utility for no-ip, and gcc is saying stderr and such isn't defined, would the libraries/headers for that be covered by installing build-essential? [05:11] nellmathew, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [05:11] texincali: finally got it, fiddled with random things till it broke in the right way. [05:11] b3rz3rk3r: it's true/false, I changed it to false. Will the change take effect immediately? [05:12] quit [05:12] \quit [05:12] is anyone familiar with ISPConfig and BIND? [05:12] amitb, save and exit file, then retry connection. shouldnt require a reboot [05:12] Titan8990, "cli" then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will the exact same as a LiveCD install right? (extra packages included, pidgin, transmission ect..?) [05:12] nellmathew, yes, its the gnome meta package [05:12] n8tuser ok iptables does not tell me anything special... but i am not really sure about finding the synce-connection listed there... [05:12] b3rz3rk3r: I think there has to be a way to tell gconfd to reload config. [05:12] Titan8990, thanks for the help [05:13] nellmathew, np [05:13] Hamled: depends on the libraries that the application you are building is making use of. did the util come with a makefile? [05:13] is anyone familiar with ISPConfig and BIND? [05:13] QPrime: yeah it has a makefile [05:13] raven-> do you see any rules listed? if there is, then you have iptables rules and it doesnt mean your firewall is off [05:14] I am currently running ubuntu 8.1, and attempting to check out windows7 in virtualbox, but am unable to do so. "VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (rc=-1908)" error received [05:14] amitb, no idea.. google? otherwise you can jsut reboot. will have the same effect [05:14] need somone to help me configure my audigy 4 to be the soundcard that ubuntu 8.1 uses instead of my onboard without disableing my soundcard in the bios... [05:15] Hamled: most source-code builds will give you an idea of the -dev versions of packages that need to be installed for a successful build. there should be some info about what needs to be available for the compile. I'm guessing that this is not a source package, but a source tar? [05:15] QPrime: it's a very simple app, it just runs a single gcc command "gcc -Wall -g -Dlinux -DPREFIX=\"/usr/local\" noip2.c -o noip2" [05:16] need somone to help me configure my audigy 4 to be the soundcard that ubuntu 8.1 uses instead of my onboard without disableing my soundcard in the bios... [05:16] Hamled: btw, there's a noip client in the repos [05:16] oh, okay I will let him know, thanks [05:16] Hamled: best bet is the prebuild repo .deb build only if you HAVE to. [05:16] is this the ubuntu help line? [05:16] Hamled: the package is noip2 [05:17] need somone to help me configure my audigy 4 to be the soundcard that ubuntu 8.1 uses instead of my onboard without disableing my soundcard in the bios... === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [05:17] yeah thanks :) [05:17] I'm just trying to help him get some stuff done, didn't realize he didn't even check apt [05:18] Hamled: tell him apt will quickly become his best friend. [05:18] b3rz3rk3r: gconftool --set /desktop/gnome/remote_access/require_encryption --type boolea false [05:18] yeah, I'll try to burn that into his mind :) [05:18] anyways, QPrime, crdlb, you guys have been very helpful [05:18] oospunkey: occasionally.

[05:23] JustinNFX: no need for sudo with man [05:23] amitb, sry i couldnt help, but nice one on getting it to work ;) [05:23] oospunkey: samba isnt needed on windows. its used to access SMB shares on a windows box from a *nix OS (like Linux) [05:23] Im on 7.10 / is 8.10 (alot) better?.... and why....thanks. [05:24] Qprime:What is the command for installing all library packages? something like sudo apt-get install build essentials? [05:24] Has anyone used virtualbox to review any of the windws7 betas? [05:24] Excell-> nope, stay where you are if you dont know what you need. [05:24] now I'm connected to the VNC server but all I see is black screen [05:24] so man program* [05:24] abhishekiitd: sudo apt-get install build-essential [05:24] ok trying to access a windows machine from ubuntu through my network I think that samba right? [05:24] trituim:thanks [05:25] ok n8tuser will do... this 7.10 is working quite well......thanks [05:25] abhishekiitd: but that is not for all library packages. That is for a basic set of packages you'll need for building from source [05:25] ok i think i pointed out the firewall and any password as error... BUT when is run synce-serial-start it takes minutes until it connects but then after c.a. one minute it disconnects again - soon i will not have any ideas any more ;) [05:25] abhishekiitd: did you see the above URL for thinkfinger? [05:26] have a good day folks. === rashire2 is now known as rashire [05:26] trituim:ok...but when i kehy in that command i got the error messgae:You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: sun-java6-bin: Depends: sun-java6-jre (= 6-07-3ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). [05:26] oospunkey: yes. if you are using gnome (I'm assuming you are if you are using ubuntu) then open a nautilus window and type (smb:/// (remove the angle brackets) [05:26] tritium:yes, it requires java and some essentials...so i need them [05:26] anyone knows how to uninstall stuff installed with distutils?? [05:27] oospunkey: if things are working correctly and the share requires authentication then it will pop up an authentication dialog. [05:27] casinaroyale: manually :/ [05:28] is nautilus the same as terminal? [05:28] oospunkey: no its the GUI wile browser in Gnome. [05:28] oospunkey: Nautilus is GNOME's graphical file browser. Terminal is the thing you type commands into. [05:28] <[Maelstrom]> anyone for my query ? [05:28] <[Maelstrom]> I'm using a dlink GLB 502T router [05:28] abhishekiitd: see also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThinkFinger [05:29] <[Maelstrom]> the gateway is 192.168.1.1 [05:29] *file even! ;) [05:29] crdlb: manually as ain search for all the installed stuff? [05:29] crdlb: will that do ? [05:29] [Maelstrom]: do you have an *ubuntu* question? [05:29] casinaroyale: yes, in general distutils does not provide an uninstall command [05:30] abhishekiitd: thinkfinger-tools and libpam-thinkfinger are in the repos. You should not need to compile anything. [05:30] crdlb: is there no better way? === andika-afk is now known as andika [05:30] tritium:but why do i keep getting this message despite just installing java..."> The following packages have unmet dependencies: > sun-java6-bin: Depends: sun-java6-jre (= 6-07-3ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed > E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). " [05:30] is anyone familiar with ISPConfig and BIND? [05:31] casinaroyale: if the installer doesn't hack uninstall onto it [05:31] ok opened gnome and typed in the address: smb:// and got this error:Error: Failed to retrieve share list from server [05:31] Please select another viewer and try again" [05:31] tritium: He just /noticed the channel and got banned by floodbot, so I'd say he has more of an #ubuntu problem ;) [05:31] crdlb: can u do that\? [05:31] rww: indeed. I noticed. [05:32] oospunkey: is file sharing enabled on the windows host you are trying to browse? [05:32] casinaroyale: what is the package? [05:32] yes I've shared files between my 2 windows machines all the time [05:32] PacketManipulator by UMIT [05:32] oospunkey: and btw... what is the os version of the windows host? [05:33] windows? uh xp sp3 [05:33] can't get audacious to work on kde,but it works fine on gnome [05:33] crdlb: http://trac.umitproject.org/wiki/PacketManipulator [05:33] ubuntu 8.10 [05:34] oospunkey: lovely... a fresh sp3 install *grin* who knows what goodies ms has put into that service pack. :P [05:34] trituim:ok but how do i navigate to root (root/etc) in terminal? [05:34] yepper :) [05:34] oospunkey: xp home or pro? [05:34] home [05:35] how should xubuntu be pronounced? [05:35] x ubuntu? zoobuntu? === maximus is now known as Guest35196 [05:35] hi, I just tried jaunty jackalope. Why is there "no apm support in kernel" [05:36] casinaroyale: try 'sudo uninstall_umit' [05:36] must not be an important question [05:37] zaccour: probably zoo, I guess [05:37] crdlb: you mean "./setup.py uninstall_umit "?? [05:37] thanks [05:37] casinaroyale: no, it appears to have installed an uninstall_umit script [05:39] oospunkey: xp home is a pain to get file sharing on for other operating systems... XP home in a windows Active Directory environment is torture. My only advice is to bypass the MS 'sharing wizard' junk and see if you can create a local user on your Xp box to authenticate against when you try and access it from your linux box. there are other areas that often need to be mucked with on the XP home side to make it work properly. I [05:39] ubutu come with pre enabled firewall? [05:39] Hi, I'm a linux noob, running Ubuntu 8.10. Just installed nwn and got it to run but the video is completely distorted. Any ideas why this might be? [05:40] crdlb: it doesnt work [05:40] casinaroyale: can you be more specific? [05:41] dang thanx QPrime, would it be worth it to downgrade to 8.04, I've read some report of ppl having trouble with samba and 8.10 [05:42] #openfiler [05:43] crdlb: "bash: uninstall_umit: command not found" [05:43] oospunkey: I'm using 8.10 with no problems on a windows AD based network. so I'm not sure that a downgrade will solve your issue. You can prolly find quite a bit of useful info on XP Home edition file sharing with a google search. But like I said there are generally (small) changes to make to the way winxp home shares files in order to play nice with other hosts on your network. [05:44] Qprime:After installing thinkfinger, it says could not detect usb device when i try to run it. the irony is that mine is not a uysb device at all...please help [05:44] crdlb: I can get the PacketManipulator installed. The problem is it doesnt install the plugins. So, I am trying to reinstall it. [05:44] QPrime: thanx for ur help NE ways [05:45] casinaroyale: I guess it didn't install properly then, xplaining the missing uninstaller [05:45] oospunkey: no problem hope you get it worked out (shouldnt be too much of a pain - but it will require a little reading on XP home and its file sharing) [05:46] crdlb: How did you know about the uninstaller? [05:46] casinaroyale: I looked at the setup.py on their source code browsser: http://trac.umitproject.org/browser/trunk/setup.py [05:46] abhishekiitd: I'm not familiar with thinkfinger... hopefully someone else in the channel is. [05:47] Hi... I have a damned problem that annoys for some hours... I plug in a PS/2 mouse, the optic led opens up, but I can't move the cursor on the screen... any fixes before I start cutting my veins please? Thanks... [05:47] nullbyte: did you plug it in before you booted? [05:48] Yes. [05:48] nullbyte: ubuntu? what version? [05:49] Intrepid Ibex [05:49] nullbyte: tested the mouse on another pc? [05:49] Yes, on a WinXP box. [05:49] It works... :( [05:50] nullbyte: Hmmm... do you have dual boot on the ubuntu box? are you sure its not a hardware issue with the PS/2 port on the ubuntu box? [05:51] I don't have dual-boot, only Ubuntu... Yes I am sure it's not an issue with the port, because practically the mouse gets detected, but I can't move the cursor... [05:51] Uhm, when some applications maximize, they take up the whole screen which makes it impossible to use scrollwheel to switch to another workspace.. Is the only 'fix' to this problem to install a theme with a wider border? === adful123 is now known as dsdeiz [05:52] crdlb: I am not installing the complete package umit. I am installing only PacketManipulator [05:52] crdlb: http://trac.umitproject.org/browser/branch/PacketManipulator [05:53] nullbyte: gets detected? if you mean the optical led... that just means its getting power on the port. have you taken a look at dmesg or the logs to see if there is anything in there about the mouse? [05:53] So, what I must type after plugging in the mouse? === jelmer_ is now known as Guest44925 [05:55] nullbyte: in general ps/2 standard never guarantees hot-plug operation (in fact in some very old mother boards you can damage the PS/2 port with a hot plug - generally not a problem with boards newer than 8 years or so) [05:56] nullbyte: is your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file empty or non-existent? [05:56] QPrime, no. [05:57] nullbyte: your installation is an upgrade from an older ubuntu version? [05:57] QPrime, no. [05:59] casinaroyale: no uninstall script for that one, but nearly everything seems to be installed to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PM/ [05:59] Hmmm... any X11 gear-heads in the channel want to take this one over? It's been quite some time since I had to play with input config in an xorg.conf file. [06:00] brb [06:00] nullbyte: assuming no hardware failure the newer xservers pretty much auto configure all input devices for you. not much to do there unless you have a particularly odd config. [06:01] whats a good CD ripper for linux? [06:01] My pidgin main window seems to be following all workspaces around (just in taskbar) even though it's set to "only on this taskbar" [06:01] i want to rip in both flac and mp3 [06:02] clearscreen: jaunty support in #ubuntu+1 [06:02] oh goddamnit, thought I was in there [06:04] !info soundjuicer [06:04] Package soundjuicer does not exist in intrepid [06:05] !info sound-juicer [06:05] sound-juicer (source: sound-juicer): GNOME 2 CD Ripper.

In Ubuntu, how do I tell what speed the ports are running at?

[06:17] juan, english only here [06:17] TheDeepFriedBoot: the problem with PCMCIA/PC Card USB options is power... they almost always need an additional power source (sometimes even attached to the card itself) [06:17] I've got 9.04-beta going at the moment, but my session keeps dying and returning me to the gdm login [06:17] Naynay, #ubuntu+1 for that [06:18] cheers [06:18] howcome ubuntu 8.10 is worse than 8.04 [06:18] @QPrime: Its a powered ext drive so that should not be an issue [06:18] @mib_s68dzfdg: What to you mean worse [06:18] mib_s68dzfdg: specifically to make your life miserable [06:18] i had to disable my net manager to get my net working!! [06:18] @mib_s68dzfdg: Works ok for me, whats happening to you? [06:19] @mib_s68dzfdg: WiFi? [06:19] TheDeepFriedBoot: i gotacha on that, but you'd be surprised how often you need to power a PCMCIA card itself, even for attached usb devices that are self powered. [06:19] also fixed ip after reconfiguring many times, it kept getting reset after reboot [06:20] @QPrime: Well that would still not be too much of an issue, this laptop is just coat hangered to the top of my other 2 screens and I use it to power my other USB junk so using a port to power the card is not an issue [06:20] ultimately had to write to interfaces file and disable the connection manager altogether [06:20] and then ultimately switched to debian :( [06:21] @TheDeepFriedBoot LAN === tinkerdom is now known as tinkerghost [06:22] @mib_s68dzfdg: OK, because it all works well for me except for the LAN. My main laptop has a broadcom card that keeps causing kernel panics [06:22] !hi | ganymede [06:22] ganymede, please see my private message [06:22] How would I give myself access rights to /dev/input/uinput [06:22] @mib_s68dzfdg: I mainly use the Ubuntu partition for travel with my 3G phone as a modem and that works great [06:22] @TheDeepFriedBoot i heard 8.04 doesnt have that problem at least [06:23] anyone used django? [06:23] @mib_s68dzfdg: 8.04 is great. And considering its a long term release, theres no problem sticking with it [06:23] Hello, i was wondering if someone could offer a fix for wireless connection that is very slow. Should be doing 320 kB but only getting 14, 20 kB ? [06:23] @TheDeepFriedBoot that's all ok, but i changed to debian [06:24] @escher1: What type of laptop or more specifically, what type of WiFi card? [06:24] TheDeepFriedBoot: I found the birthing pains for Hardy more painful than Intrepid or Jaunty (so far) has been [06:24] @escher1 interesting nick; inspired by GEB, what?! [06:24] acer 6920 g, intel and i forget how to get the number ? [06:24] escher1: make sure someone not stealing your wireless bandwidth [06:25] @escher1: OK, Ive dealt with broadcom issues but im not sure about intel [06:25] lol no it is an issue i have read about in many forums but have been unable to correct it [06:25] using wpa 2 for security [06:25] how to manually install codec to play mp3 in totem (in ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn) [06:26] @Ajit use rhythmbox [06:27] Oh, does anyone know if there is a nicer way to run a NAS off an old laptop than with samba? I liked FreeNAS with its features and webGUI but I want to be able to have a GUI as well [06:28] TheDeepFriedBoot: you don't really what Gnome sucking away cache memory do you? :P [06:29] @QPrime: Well, I kind of want to use this laptop for more than a NAS as well. As I said, I have it clipped to the top of my other screens with clips made from coat hangars and I use it like a 3rd screen with synergy [06:29] !feisty [06:29] Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details.

[06:30] @QPrime: Aww, but I dont want a terminal, it looks no nice on top of my other monitors, its like a HUD, currently its acting as a Wootoff monitor for me [06:30] dingding: they usually hang out in #ubuntu-ops [06:31] Not familiar with FreeNAS but I'm sure you could add XFCE to it by hand [06:31] I flicked my scroll wheel and my desktop shifted to the side! [06:32] nftyw_L: Compiz will do that for you! [06:32] what is the keyboard shortcut for it [06:32] hello how can i speak with the operator? [06:32] @QPrime: OK, ill look into that when I have time to mess around with the laptop. As for FreeNAS, go take a look at it, its really neat [06:33] dingding: try reading what people are telling you [06:33] Hi. When I open Firefox, it takes up the entire screen and hides my panel. [06:33] How do I give myself access rights to /dev/input/uinput? [06:33] The title bar is non-existent. [06:33] hit f11 [06:33] I tried to alt+drag to no avail. [06:33] No, it's not in full-screen mode. [06:33] oh ok [06:34] nftyw_L: configurable but I think the default is ++ [06:35] TheDeepFriedBoot: I'll check it out, thanks. [06:35] mindvirus:the title bar is existing on other apps? [06:35] Of course. [06:35] Is the Jaunty beta really only available as a DVD image? (Alpha 6 was a CD image.)

[06:53] @HammerHead66: Not sure, but since it says its trying to contact 127.0.0.1 which is your loopback address, you somehow need to set it back to the main udate servers [06:53] TheDeepFriedBoot: have net encryption software active [06:53] *I [06:53] sudo apt-get update [06:54] how do u play rm and rmvd in vlc [06:54] rmvb [06:54] noren: I don't think vlc can play realmedia files [06:54] @HammerHead66: That software is most likely acting as a proxy, turn it off and try again [06:54] TheDeepFriedBoot: I have net encryption software active. But even if I turn it off I get the same error [06:54] noren:it should play itself without codecs [06:55] HammerHead66: a global variable is set for the proxy [06:55] Slart: i guess so, is it better to get the real player running with wine [06:55] HammerHead66: set|grep proxy [06:55] @HammerHead66: The 127.0.0.1 is common for proxy software but you need to get it back to normal somehow [06:55] @HammerHead66: Thats most likely where your problem lies [06:56] Start mplayer can handle them or...? [06:56] heril: TheDeepFriedBoot: ok thanks guys [06:56] noren: nah.. use the linux version.. it's not that bad.. you download a binary and run it [06:56] if a variable comes up from that command, unset it [06:56] <-- trying to remember how I do it at home - for bbc m-media content - mplayer and mplayer mozilla-plugin or similar... [06:56] @noren: I think VLC should be able to run realplayer media, try it, not much to loose and soo much to gail [06:57] Thats the second possible 'proxy' issue... might be a broken update config in the repos? I didnt ask what release jhass840 was updating against [06:57] a flv file... has video and audi both.... but its not playing the video but i hear only audio///// what shall i install from synpantic ?? [06:57] gain* [06:57] some versions of realmedia can be played with VLC [06:57] @Kimi: What program are you playing it with? [06:57] TheDeepFriedBoot: it play only the sudio part no vid are comming in that [06:58] all.. in default ubuntu and vlc [06:58] mplayer is probably better for realmedia than vlc [06:58] @Kimi: Strange, VLC is made to handle FLV. Might be something wrong with the FLV itself [06:58] is there any flv player in synpantic ?

I get no output whether I try TwinView or Separate X configurations if I have another monitor hooked... [08:01] same as normal ssh, just use ssh -X [08:01] ...up. can anyone help? [08:01] oc__, forwarding X? ssh -X host [08:01] hmm [08:01] the box you're ssh'ing into needs to have X installed, of course [08:01] hey whats the jaunty channel?

I'm sure it can be done, you just have a differnt key combination [08:07] g4lt-lappy, thats what i want to know [08:08] any firewall - i think UFW - always reactivates. how can i stop this and disable it FOREVER [08:08] BlackDalek, is it loke office2009 or something, MS breaks stuff as a hobby :/ [08:08] g4lt-lappy, plz dont direct me to another channeel [08:08] Kimi, well, there IS a openoffice channel, but honestly, I use openoffice very little and just knowthat it works every time I've used it [08:09] g4lt-lappy, not sure what version.. someone sent it to me. It is from maybe office 2007 on an XP laptop.

[08:10] androxoid1: turn your refresh rate down on your monitor [08:11] g4lt-lappy, my dad knows only excel .... in his office they use excel and now he gets confused with OOO [08:11] androxoid1: should find what the optimum refresh rate is and resolution [08:11] it is on 50Hz in the resolutionoptions [08:11] I only can go for 50, 51 and 107 [08:11] androxoid1: what about your game options? [08:12] I cant get there, it starts in full screen [08:12] I got the prob at SuperTux2 and Extreme Tux Racer [08:12] andwait, 50? you realize that's your most limiting for resolutions? [08:12] does anyone know ? [08:12] androxoid1: you haven't messed with any settings? [08:12] hi all :-) [08:12] goodbyeWindows, Hi [08:12] nah, I just installed ubuntu yesterday [08:12] and then the games [08:13] goodbyeWindows, your pic is very cool [08:13] installed Xubuntu, likingi ti so far [08:13] ...my pic?

[08:13] goodbyeWindows, i mean,, your NICK :P [08:13] can you or can you not have java plugin on firefox 64bit in 8.10 ? [08:13] tehehe [08:13] heheh, thanks Kimi [08:13] BlackDalek, have you run file against it to ensure it IS a access database? [08:13] goodbyeWindows, B-) [08:13] yeah i had jack of windows, heard about this, so i read up on it [08:14] great so far, impressed that it picked up my wireless drivers! [08:14] no luck on the Ethernet side tho, which is weird [08:14] i want a real inspiring game like age of empire 3 in ubuntu.... [08:14] androxoid1: what do you have for a video card? Are there proprietor drivers for your card [08:14] probably something stupid i'm doing [08:14] cemc, I don't see why not. they make 64-bit java, and they make 64-bit firefox, they SHOULD play nice together [08:14] goodbyeWindows, why dont you type them all in one line ? ;) [08:14] Kimi, freeciv/freecol [08:14] g4lt-lappy, I don't know what you mean, but I know it is an access database file. [08:15] alright, worked, thanks yall [08:15] haha, sorry about that [08:15] o0Chris0o: its the nVidia proprietor drivers [08:15] !ask > goodbyeWindows [08:15] goodbyeWindows, please see my private message [08:15] BlackDalek, file checks the magic number inside the file to determine what type of file it is [08:15] g4lt-lappy, i saw their screenshots and ran away.. do you think its similar to AOE3 ? [08:15] right, thanks Kimi, sorry about that, new to all this [08:15] androxoid1: Did you enable the proprietor drivers for your card? [08:16] o0Chris0o: yes, the recommended one [08:16] how do i do that o0Chris0o? [08:16] goodbyeWindows, no sorry :D [08:16] If you have a radeon 4850HD on 8.10 don't do it!:P [08:16] After i installed nvidia cuda...my X crashed...even though i had a backup of xorg.conf...it doesent work..can any1 help me [08:16] Kimi, no, i think they're better, since they're based off sid meier games vice AoE's god-only-knows-who [08:16] androxoid1: androxoid1 hmmm [08:16] goodbyeWindows: general advice, if you have issues or there are things you don't like about Xubuntu, pick up another distro. Choice is one of the wonderful thing about the Linux world. Hope you stay with us. :) [08:17]  Nalf: are you having problems loading your drivers for it? [08:17] and there was also a loki port of civ:CtP [08:17] haha, thanks eqisow, oh it's not an issue yet really, sure there's something i can do to fix it [08:17] g4lt-lappy, it outputs "file V1.mdb: Microsoft Access Database" [08:17] HammerHead66, installing drivers in 8.10 for my card totally destroys x. [08:17] just thought i'd seek the wisdom of IRC [08:17] eqisow, you are trying to send a new linux user ? :P :P :D: P [08:17] HammerHead66, from what I have read there is a bug in ati's driver and it has issues with the version of x that is released in 8.10. [08:17]  Nalf: check this out it will help you ok http://paste.ubuntu.com/138785/ === odder_ is now known as odder [08:18] After i installed nvidia cuda...my X crashed...even though i had a backup of xorg.conf...it does'nt work..can any1 help me?? [08:18] goodbyeWindows: by the way, I think there's a xubuntu specific channel. [08:18] oh really, thanks eqisow [08:19] !xubuntu | goodbyeWindows [08:19] goodbyeWindows: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [08:19] BlackDalek, okay, it is a access file. well, that's no very nice of it to not be openable in OO.o :(. have you tried anything else other than koffice and oo.o? [08:19]  Nalf: I have had this problem too. But I fixed it. [08:19] im not sure if it's a xubuntu specific problem, but yeah, my Ethernet doesn't seem to want to chat to my router [08:19] HammerHead66, doing that doesn't fix it for me. :P I've done it before. [08:19] o0Chris0o: Im using a GeForce 6600 if that helps [08:19] HammerHead66, do you have radeon hd 4850? [08:19] g4lt-lappy, I only got it this afternoon. tried only OOo Base and Kexi. [08:20]  Nalf: you have to follow the directions or it will not work.......Not any other way none......please try it befor you say it doesn't work [08:20] androxoid1: I'm not sure what else to tell you, if your range settings are correct, I'm not sure what else could be the problem [08:20] After i installed nvidia cuda...my X crashed...even though i had a backup of xorg.conf...it does'nt work..can any1 help me?? [08:20] . [08:20] o0Chris0o: where can I find those range settings? [08:20] shd i have to maintain a back up for any other files? [08:21] androxoid1: try asking in #xorg they may be able to help you [08:21] BlackDalek, have you messed with mdbtools? apparently they're a set of tools to get a jet database to play nice in linux [08:21] HammerHead66, I've done that exact process before. I tried virtually _everything_ I could think of, thanks. [08:21] alright thanks [08:21] * g4lt-lappy hasn't used them, TBH [08:21] androxoid1: have to google the make and model and serial number to see if you can find a match to find the specs [08:21] g4lt-lappy, I've never heard of any such tool. [08:21] HammerHead66, no matter what when I try to load x always spits out a 'no screens found' error. [08:21] BlackDalek, it's a package. sudo apt-get install mdbtools [08:22]  Nalf: you you have went into terminal exactly like I have said not any other way right? [08:22] hehe ok guys, cheers for all your advice, if i have trouble, i might try straight ubuntu then get into all the flavours when im more versed in it haha [08:22] I have badblocks on disk (200 or above) found by `badblocks `. While googling I've found information that badblock -w (write-mode) will force harddrive to internally fix badblocks using special free area of disk left for that purpose. Has anybody done that? [08:22] installing it now.... [08:22] zimnyx: isn't fsck meant to fix badblocks? [08:22] BlackDalek, DISCLAIMER: I got this via apt-cache search, I have NFI what programs aare involved or how weloll they work [08:23] HammerHead66: yes. [08:23] hi all [08:23] ziroday:yeah only for ext3 filesystems [08:23] g4lt-lappy: please don't swear, even in acronyms === florin is now known as Guest64991 [08:23] g4lt-lappy, ok. [08:23]  Nalf: then ATI drivers for that card are not ready yet for ubuntu to work === Guest64991 is now known as floryn [08:23] voldermot: oh, is zimnyx not using ext3? [08:23] HammerHead66, that's what I said, thanks. [08:23] ziroday: i'm using ext3 [08:24] ziroday: agreed..:P === Nalf is now known as Nalf|Sleep [08:24] zimnyx: then why not use fsck? [08:24] zimnyx: that's the recommended way to go around fixing bad blocks/drives playing up [08:24] ziroday: but e2fsck -c will mark damaged area, and I'm talking about disk-internal-fixing. [08:24]  Nalf: I only say it that way because people go diffrent ways in terminal and it doesn't work any other way than I have said and people that think they know it all say terminal is terminal so they don't try it. [08:25] how would i update a ubuntu install from a livecd? [08:25] balrog__, the live is also an installer cd [08:25] g4lt-lappy, I installed mdbtools.... now what? [08:25] zimnyx: that should all be in fsck, reboot into the recovery area, or from a livecd and just fsck the entire drive, it should repair bad blocks as well [08:25] balrog__, update from alternate only [08:25] how would i update a broken ubuntu install from a livecd? [08:26] balrog__: you can update with the livecd, only reinstall [08:26] how do I launch mdbtools or whatever.... [08:26] ziroday: it's not root partiotion, no need of livecd [08:27] BlackDalek, dpkg -l will tell you what got installed. go through the manpages for the individual programs and see if anything may give you some light, like maybe convert it to something mysql o koffice/oo.o can read [08:27] ziroday: so you don't know the answer to my initial question, do you? [08:27] zimnyx: then just run sudo fsck /dev/whatever [08:27] ok [08:27] ziroday: does it check for badblock without -c option? [08:27] zimnyx: it should do [08:27] I cannot see it in manual [08:28] ziroday: are you guessing? [08:28] zimnyx: well I did this procedure a couple of days ago and it worked :) [08:29] zimnyx: and from what I can interpret from man fsck it will fix bad blocks [08:29] Arrrgh [08:29] ziroday: have you badblocks on this device? [08:29] zimnyx: y wud u want to identify where ur bad blocks are..fsck /dev/ur disk will repair the bad blocks...wudn dat do? [08:29] zimnyx: yes === Alwayswrong is now known as ZombiePriest [08:29] Okay, so I hit alt f2 to get to the command line, put in 'sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst' and.... nothing happens [08:29] hi, how can i find what package a binary originates from? [08:29] voldermot: so what's the purpiose of -c option? [08:30] zimnyx: just make sure you do fsck /dev/whatever instead of e2fsck /dev/whatever [08:30] zimnyx: the -c option is used when you don't want the bad blocks to be repaired, just recorded [08:31]  Nalf: Hay sorry I have step three wrong don't restart at that time wait til the install is complete ok [08:32] does anyone know of a easy to use nice graphical bootloader? [08:32] kalidar: grub? [08:32] grub is plain [08:32] see easy to use [08:32] anything else out their? [08:32] i ment easy to install [08:32] actualy [08:33] Actually right now the issue is less grub and more why isn't sudo gedit working [08:33] sexcopter, that's a non-trivial question. I can't remember any tools that will go from file to package, but many that go from package to file [08:33] kalidar: well its not going to do much as it can't start the graphics drivers. You're never going to get animations/transparency or whatever. You can change the grub background image if you want. Also changing bootloaders is a dangerous action no matter what you replace it with [08:34] i installed an api and it edited my xorg.conf....as a result my x fails to load.. [08:34] oh sad :( i liked the fedora graphical bootloader better [08:34] sexcopter, TBH, the answer may be "rephrase what you want to do in a more doable form" [08:34] and i could change the name of the drive i was conecting to aswell [08:34] kalidar: err I'm pretty sure fedora is using grub [08:34] kalidar: what is the problem ? [08:34] hi all [08:34] no problen [08:34] ikonia: he wants a prettier bootloader [08:34] kalidar: as I told you in #kubuntu grub is a graphical boot loader - what more graphical do you want [08:34] i just wana change my bootloader a bit [08:34] g4lt-lappy: interesting. i imagine it's something that people could make use of a lot, and it shouldn't be *that* hard [08:34] kalidar: in what way ? [08:34] Argh! What happened to this OS? I can't even get sudo to work now [08:35] nftyw_L: what is the error [08:35] like how i change the backround [08:35] nftyw_L: errors? [08:35] kal0, it's just grub. you should be able to do evertyhing with ubuntu's grub you can with fedora's [08:35] it wont let me [08:35] i installed an api and it edited my xorg.conf....as a result my x fails to load.. [08:35] kalidar: what ar eyou trying to do [08:35] can any one help me? [08:35] kalidar: be specific [08:35] There is no error I hit alt f2, put in sudo gedit and hit run and nothing happens [08:35] change the backround [08:35] g4lt-lappy: well, i'm just curious what package provided "hp-systray", of course the name gives some hints [08:35] anybody can tell me how work ubuntu on a dual xeon 3.06ghz monocore server ? [08:35] voldermot: if you ask a question [08:35] nftyw_L: for a start, you should be using gksudo, not sudo, for gedit. [08:35] to a immage [08:35] kalidar: ok - so you need to install the splash-images package [08:35] ok finaly :) thats all i wanted [08:35] kalidar: you can't just use any image it has to be in a specific size / format [08:35] ziroday: thanks for your help (btw I have't know that e2fsck and fsck are different commands) [08:35] how i get that [08:35] kalidar: open the package manager and install it [08:35] splash image package [08:35] gragrgh [08:36] ok, that worked, thanks. [08:36] is called splash immage package [08:36] kalidar: if you search for "grub" in the package manager you'll see the boot images [08:36] ok thanks guys [08:36] kalidar: search the repo and you'll see the correct name [08:36] sexcopter, not drawing anything from memory herebut sounds like it's part of gnome-applets [08:36] nftyw_L: you're welcome [08:36] ikonia: i had a back up of xorg.conf...i copied it into xorg.conf...even then my x doesnt work..wat do i do? [08:36] I assume gksu is shorthand for gksudo? [08:36] kk [08:36] how to delete old kernel images? [08:36] voldermot: what's the problem [08:36] nftyw_L: no, but on Ubuntu they do the same thing [08:36] alphageek: just remove them from the package manager [08:36] anybody know why my windows shares folder in my network samba window is empty when I know windows has folders set to shared? [08:36] nftyw_L, sort of. different interfaces to the same program [08:36] alphageek: dpkg --purge image-### [08:36] no graphical display..i am only able to use the konsole..:( [08:36] Ergh. What a pain [08:37] voldermot: so what video card do you have ? [08:37] g4lt-lappy: actually, if memory serves, it appeared after installing kubuntu-desktop (was an ubuntu install), so i'd say it's a kde package, or something hp [08:37] how do i kno tht? [08:37] g4lt-lappy: don't worry, it isn't important and i'll have a quick look [08:37] voldermot: you bought the machine - [08:37] Hooray! I can edit and save a file! [08:37] * nftyw_L sets off celebratory fireworks [08:37] voldermot: lspci will show you the pci devices (including the video card) [08:37] nftyw_L, not really, it's akin to vi and view, view is just vi -r [08:37] Ugh there is no way in hell I am using vi [08:38] g4lt-lappy: found it, it's in hplip [08:38] sexcopter, cool! just luck, or did you do a bit o greppage? [08:38] nvidia geforce 8400M gs [08:39] is that wat u asked?i dunno.. [08:39] i m seeking to create a webserver /webmail machine and would like to know what kind of ubuntu to use, the machine will be a dual cpu xeon (P4 type ) is this will be good enough? [08:39] voldermot: ok - so I suspect the issue is with not using the correct restricted drivers. I suggest you remove you're xorg.conf file totally, and restart X, it will try to use a failsafe mode which will allow you an X11 gui to then fix your problems [08:39] g4lt-lappy: educated search/guess [08:39] nemera: ubuntu desktop 8.04, or 8.10 [08:39] nfc, no, but it's the easiest thing I could think of that had two filenames that did different things depending on how called. other examples are gzip -D and gzcat [08:39] ikonia: 64bits or 32 bits ? [08:39] ikonia: ok,thanks..:) [08:39] nemera: does your cpu's support 64bit ? not all xeons do [08:39] nftyw_L, ^^^^ [08:40] so all I have to do is go to synaptic and right click on "Linux kernel image for version 2.6.27-9-generic" and right click and mark for removal? [08:40] alphageek: yes [08:40] ikonia: haven t buy the comp actually but yes emt64 is one of my request for it :) [08:40] alphageek: the kenel is just a package like any other [08:40] Hmm. [08:40] nemera: then use what ever one you want [08:40] nemera: if you've got 4GB of ram - use 64bit, if you've not it doesn't really matter that much [08:40] and what about the headers for the same version? [08:40] alphageek: it's just a package [08:41] If I'm trying to get grub to dual-boot to a win 98 install, and it's giving me an error 13, what's the most likely thing I failed to check? [08:41] alphageek: thats the point of a package manager [08:41] ikonia:isnt dat equivalent to copying xorg.conf failsafe into xorg.conf? [08:41] ikonia: thanks friend [08:41] nftyw_L: voldermot no [08:41] is there any player for render .swf movies extension? (no firefox) [08:41] okay... === ubuntu_ is now known as bluenzo [08:41] ugh [08:41] floryn, many. flashplayer is the obvious one, but there's others [08:42] im grub got deleted after stalling windows... but !grub doesnt work lol [08:42] i get error 17 [08:42] ikonia: ok.. [08:42] bluenzo: that meants it's pointing at the wrong partition [08:42] ziroday: btw, what number of badsectors have you found? [08:42] g4lt-lappy, ok so i will find flashplayer in synaptic manager than/ [08:42] ikonia: thanks..was a little bit conservative to delete a kernel.But as you said its just a package explains it all [08:43] ikonia: so im typing the setup command wrong? [08:43] zimnyx: I honestly can't remember. I know it was after a failed gparted edit and I just ran fsck /path/to/drive and it fixed it all up [08:43] bluenzo: yes, [08:43] my friend told me to just type setup (hd0) [08:43] how do I know which one im supossed to use? [08:43] floryn, I think it's in multiverse, but yeah [08:43] lemme re-check the site [08:43] !grub [08:43] 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 [08:43] (well, the installer) [08:44] ikonia: it works...thanks..u are the man..:) [08:44] voldermot: I know this ;) - I'm kdding, no problem [08:44] ikonia: on the recover ubuntu pae, it says type "setup (hd0)" tho [08:45] ikonia: haha.. [08:45] ya t-il une chaine francaise? [08:45] bluenzo: assuming your ubuntu partition is (hd0) [08:45] is there a way to clone the filesystem.My eventual goal is to make permanent restore points. [08:45] bluenzo: and it's the root parameter - not the setup parameter you need to change [08:45] ikonia: well im not sure, i have a 640GB HDD and 40GB HDD, vista on the 640GB and ubuntu on the 40GB [08:45] g4lt-lappy, i will install swfdc-gnome [08:45] alphageek: dd takes a block for block copy [08:45] how do I find out which is which? [08:45] g4lt-lappy, thank you for the help [08:46] quelqu'un peut til m'aider? [08:46] floryn, that's one of the many, yes :) [08:46] bluenzo: it is most likley root (hd1,0) and setup (hd0) [08:46] bluenzo: fdisk /dev/sda or hda ..whichever urs is..

[08:49] i have two physical drives, one partition each [08:49] oh it might be worth saying, one is sata, one is IDE [08:49] if that matters [08:49] nope doesn't matter [08:49] ikonia: i dont know what you mean by swap partition [08:50] bluenzo: I'd double check then, re-try root (hd1,0) and then setup (hd0) [08:50] bluenzo: make sure you do root firt [08:50] first [08:50] ya im in root [08:50] I didn't say be in root [08:50] I said use the root command first [08:50] i know i did su [08:50] once you are in the gub shell [08:50] i meant that first :P [08:50] bluenzo: how did you do, su, ubuntu has no root passwod ? [08:50] su then pass, then grub [08:50] sudo passwd [08:51] bluenzo: if you're doing things like that - you should know what you're doing [08:51] my friend told me :P [08:51] LOL [08:51] bluenzo: then ask your friend [08:51] he doesnt know about that error [08:51] i tried...i think he went afk [08:51] wow - so following his advice may not be the best way to go [08:51] lol [08:51] !root [08:51] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:52] bluenzo: do the following [08:52] ROFL @ that [08:52] the matrix [08:52] im doing root (hd1,0) right now [08:52] bluenzo: 1.) "sudo grub" [08:52] k ill start over [08:52] bluenzo: nah, thats fine [08:52] bluenzo: do root (hd1,0) [08:52] bluenzo: do you get any errors or warnings [08:52] root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# grub [08:52] <---im already root right? [08:53] no errors, just returned to grub> [08:53] yes you are [08:53] bluenzo: ok, now setup (hd0) [08:53] k done [08:53] no errors [08:53] bluenzo: quit [08:53] 16 sectors are embedded....succeeded etc.. [08:53] bluenzo: sounds good [08:53] done [08:53] bluenzo: reboot [08:54] is this the right syntax "dd if=fbackup of=/ bs=?" [08:54] seriously, with any decent modern operating system, root is rather superfluous. it has to be there as a role and possibly a user, but if you shouldn;t ever log in as root to a modern OS [08:54] k...btw i installed xchat-gnome [08:54] alphageek: no [08:54] is there afster way to ge tback here? [08:54] lol [08:54] bluenzo: one thing at a time [08:54] well if it doesnt work [08:54] how do i get back, unless this is the fastest way [08:54] bluenzo: no there isn't [08:54] alphageek, that will write over / with the contents of fbackup. if that's what you want, go for it, it will urt though [08:54] k brb === Daemon is now known as Xavierg2003 [08:56] anyone knows about skype development? how far they are?

[09:09] Kimi, nor will it. it's an entirely seperate proram, meaning it has to be called by firefox. a script is overriding your preferences in that regard [09:09] Iowahc, what do you mean by "GOT" [09:09] Kimi http://flashgot.net/ [09:09] well that was kind of fun. i used brctl, to create a bridge and add eth0 and wlan0 to br0, then i used ifconfig br0 up, then i echoed 0 > all the members of /proc/sys/net/bridge [09:10] g4lt-lappy, a download manager in xp called IDM will popup autumatcally asking for download (when you click DL links) [09:10] I have a BIOS which is not able to boot from USB and I tried booting with an ISO (there is some online tutorial) but Ubuntu launches only into BuzyBox -- I can mount my USB drive without problems.

[09:12] Iowahc, ok.. i clicked ALLOW :P :D [09:12] bye === pagan is now known as kiddies [09:12] kimi well, IDC is not an ooption here. your options are 1) figure out a way to get the URL of the download from mediafire's script and paste it to whatever you want, which should be easy enough, or 2) get some browser that won't happily do what you don't want it to do. personally I just use noscript on firefox, and avoid pllaces that require scripting, but that's just me [09:13] ok [09:13] hi, I need to use a printer which is in my local windows network, I know only IP and the printer name.

[10:30] dayo I this machine is a dual boot with xp and just trying to set both sides the same, I am just wondering I was looking at the kuser and the new user was not in audio group but clearly had audio when ai logged in and watched google video [10:30] bluenzo^nix: I have no idea, [10:30] ikonia: k thx [10:31] dayo: now is that something kuser did or is that just ubuntu doing an assumption that the new user would want to be in those groups === Alive is now known as AliveIAM [10:33] man split is not very clear, but it seems to be for text files yes ? [10:33] tyson_: i think that means, the new user can't edit any config files of applications in the audio group, but can *use* those applications [10:33] I want to split an Image. [10:34] What can I use to split an image of 4gig into 700mb pieces ? [10:34] dayo: I your best guess not knowing the app if had entered a password there it likely would have let me use sudo right?

[10:35] :) [10:36] dayo: I could probably just log back in again and type group in terminal hey? [10:36] or can split and cat handle binary files ? and images and zip files etc... ? [10:37] Seems like it can :) [10:37] AliveIAM: yes it can, but im not sure can you view them before you merge [10:37] tyson_: type: id -Gn [10:38] I will split it and then cat it and check the checksum before and after. === umar|brb is now known as umar [10:39] What do I use to check the checksum ?

[12:01] oCean_, would you happen to have a more up to date link. That diskmounter script doesn't exist anymore. [12:02] BOE|Zack: ow sorry... I know the link has (had?) a good explanation as how to use /etc/fstab [12:03] fstab - another very very good thing to learn all abour [12:03] BOE|Zack: to mount a disk, you'll need at least an existing mountpoint (the directory where to attach the disk). Then you'll need to know the drive/partition name [12:03] how do you install a program without the net [12:03] oCean_, not apposed to trying that just figured that diskmounter would be a safer option, so was just double checking. [12:03] you need net for that [12:03] i able to open them on my windows box but not when using ubuntu [12:04] * dr_willis would like to see a URL with a underscore in it... for an example [12:04] BOE|Zack: well, using fstab file will mount the partition at every boot. [12:05] master, f you get the source code it can be compiled, but you will need somethng like a SB or sd card to transfer it to the computer without net [12:05] BOE|Zack: use "sudo fdisk -l" to list all your drives/partitions, then add a line to /etc/fstab file [12:05] master: download deb package http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , transfer to ubuntu and run it to install [12:06] or that === jelmer_ is now known as Guest25096 [12:06] !offline | master [12:06] master: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script.

[12:13] i need to restart it [12:13] d0s4gw: I'd use ext3 [12:13] i have no network settings [12:13] jtaji: Thanks [12:13] d0s4gw: theoretically you could save some space using ext2, as ext3 is ex2 with a journal [12:14] the timidity init script fails starting, are there any logs for init skripts? [12:14] tv7497: it doesn't matter what synaptic says [12:14] the thing is they are not accessible outside our environment [12:14] tv7497: synaptic is not a setup/admin tool for dns servers [12:14] jtaji: but with 1TB, I'd rather reap the benefits of an updated FS standard than save what I would imagine would be less than 256MB. [12:14] but for example [12:14] d0s4gw: agreed [12:15] oCean_, would this be correct: /dev/sda /media/hda ntfs ro,auto,user,fmask=0111,dmask=000 0 0 [12:15] ikonia: http://122.167.72.96 what should i do sir ?

[12:19] ishmaela: ah, I see. I think it is actually allowed for subdomains to start with numbers, hyphen and even underscore [12:19] ishmaela: what is the error message?

[12:22] <|ntegra|> is chmod -R 771 good for that [12:22] I have the cpufreq monitor applet on the panel, [12:22] and when I click on it to change the freq, [12:22] You DONT set permissions on ntfs mountpoints.. you set them via how you mount the filesystem [12:23] it asks for some password but it won't authenticate me. any ideas?

[13:12] newtoubuntu: please don't change your name if you ask a question makes it hard to anwser you [13:12] newtoubuntu: the program name of course [13:12] How do I show my desktops on a cube? is it a built in feature? [13:13] so if the program name is TEST001 what would i type? [13:13] newtoubuntu: whatever the command for the program is since the command can be different then the program name but most of the time it's not [13:14] hi, why there's no alsaconf in alsa-utils anymore? what's the alternative? [13:14] I dont have CDs here right now, if the problem is burning the image on a DVD, is there any way to install it in another way? maybe copying the content of the iso on a USB HD and boot on it? [13:14] newtoubuntu: Just a heads up: There's is a difference between upper and lower case letters in GNU/Linux. Just so you know [13:15] so how would i know the correct command for a certain program? [13:15] romuald> you can boot from an USB pen drive [13:15] with the iso on it? or the content of the iso? [13:16] newtoubuntu: The way I usually do that, if I don't know is: Look in Synaptic for the files being installed by a certain package. It's usually one of the files starting with /usr/bin [13:16] newtoubuntu: But usually, it's the same as the program name [13:17] i have a LAMP server running with phpBB3-- it works locally how do i get it to show up remotely [13:17] ? [13:17] romuald, u can use a proram called unetbootin to create a bootable usbstick or drive [13:17] so i woulod go to the terminal and type sudo ...?

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [13:19] domas: it's not really set to begin with :-) [13:19] well, I still stand for my question [13:19] romuald> go to this website for instructions on how to install Ubuntu from a Pen Drive: http://www.sizlopedia.com/2008/10/31/install-ubuntu-810-usb-flash-drive/ [13:20] I guess I need to elaborate [13:20] How do I show my desktops on a cube? is it a built in feature?

[13:21] mrwes: Then you should have mentioned that we do not support it. [13:21] sipior: I know what is wise and what is not :) how do I set root password? :) === andi is now known as Guest30613 [13:21] Pici, The bot took care of that :) [13:21] domas: we told you 5 times already [13:21] domas: sudo passwd, as was mentioned previously [13:21] I've got a portable USB Lacie, I believe it will be fine, thanks again [13:22] I have only grub shell [13:22] Domas: if you don't know where to type that, maybe you shouldn't even be setting it, aye? [13:22] mrwes: i was just going to mention that ;-) [13:22] 'sudo passwd' doesn't work in grub shell. oh, by the way, I'm not a newbie, tried 'single' 'init=S' and other ways :) [13:23] domas: well sounds like you are since you keep asking the same question over and over and we tell you how to do irt [13:23] domas: if you have access to the machine, why not simply use the account you already have? [13:23] kitche: I just need to reset the root password, cause I cannot log into the box :) [13:23] sipior: because I just kickstarted install on it, and after do-release-upgrade ssh does not come up [13:23] domas: is it YOUR box? [13:23] zombie-robot_→ you need to set apache to "bind" to your external interface. this is an apache config issue. [13:24] mrwes: technically no, it is a loaner from a vendor, that has been deployed in datacenter of organization I volunteer my work to. [13:24] Is there a table somewhere of feature comparisson standard vs. server edition 8.10? [13:24] domas: well ubuntu does not even have sshd installed by default unless you added it to the kickstart [13:24] hrmm [13:24] domas→ do you have physical access? [13:24] kitche: it had sshd before do-release-upgrade [13:24] magnetron: no, just ILOM :) [13:24] domas: booting into single user mode will allow you to sort that out. or boot from a live cd and adjust the shadow password file as needed. [13:24] domas: well if they wanted you in there, wouldn't they have gave you the passwd ? [13:24] mrwes: well, I installed that box half an hour ago :) [13:25] yes [13:25] bah ... [13:25] and it has my ssh keys installed in it :) [13:25] shakes head [13:25] all I need is just a magic grub parameter that would give me shell prompt without asking for password :) === Guest30613 is now known as andi_S === yacc_ is now known as yacc [13:25] domas, just boot of any live cd, mount your partitions/chroot into them and passwd [13:26] as: would be much easier with physical access, and too difficult to set up netboot for that now, easier to reinstall :) [13:26] or wait, maybe installer can allow me to reset it :) [13:27] erm [13:27] is there a tool to configure my desktop so i can see the 'smb' network?

[13:28] domas, doesn't the recovery entry in grub drop you to a root shellwitout a pw? [13:28] SPF: hehe, ages ago grub/lilo parameters were sufficient [13:28] at least it used to [13:28] as: nope, not anymore [13:28] as: would I be here if that would be the case? [13:28] i have a huge problem. i cannot login as regular user to my box anymore, after changing the standard printer under the cups menu. after that, i could not connect to localhost anymore, and now that user can't login anymore. i am now logged in as root on that machine via recovery [13:28] as: only if root does not have a password [13:28] now, how can i fix this? [13:29] domas, just because its easy doesn't mean you found it :P [13:29] ok, i stand corrected [13:29] this is a disaster right now, since i have a deadline due, and need that box [13:29] as: *shrug*, I have 15 years of linux experience :) I came here to ask a very simple question [13:29] as: that is distribution-specific [13:29] elementz: you can set the user password again with "passwd " [13:29] all I got was "you suck as sysadmin". dudes, I've been running wikipedia for past five years or so :) [13:30] domas, i know the feeling... [13:30] got some problems getting ushare work with my xbox 360! dont know what i have done wrong. [13:30] my computer just doesnt show on my xbox 360 [13:30] sipior: when running passwd i get a segmentation fault! [13:30] i'd try adding some sort of iso to grub and boot that.. [13:30] should be possible.. [13:30] as: easier to reinstall :) [13:30] true :) [13:31] domas: it is if you don't even know how to break into the box, which a sysadmin should know how to do really [13:31] so my entire python install seems to be broken. every python thing i try to install says that it needs py_support, but when i try to install python-support, it says it needs py_support to install it. can anyone help? [13:31] elementz: interesting. do the password and shadow password files exist? (/etc/password and /etc/shadow) [13:31] sipior: yes, they do [13:32] kitche: i think he doesn't have physical access to the box [13:32] which makes it a tad harder [13:32] I have just ILOM/serial console access [13:32] a qucik one: do general users recommedn upgrading to ubuntu from 8.4 to 8.10? [13:32] once upon a time one could just say init=/bin/sh and get over it :) [13:32] hi - when i activate NAT-Mode in BLUETOOTH-configuration my ubuntu-pc is cut from network - Any ideas?? [13:33] kdubois1: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [13:33] i think that is gone due to upstart [13:33] <_Whipper> newtoubuntu: hmm.. why fix something that isnt broke? [13:33] kitche: on the other hand, all next new ubuntu kernels will have a fix for bug I found [13:33] :) [13:33] security bug, even [13:33] elementz: you can simply delete the password portion of the user entry in /etc/shadow (that's the entry immediately following the username), allowing the user to log in without a password. although it sounds like your system has more profound problems, i'm afraid... [13:34] which file in .mozilla contains the latest firefox bookmarks? bookmarks.html seems to only contain the defaults [13:34] khear, it's stored in a databse since v3 [13:34] khear, you can export them via firefox and import them [13:34] khear, places.sqlite i _think_ [13:35] sipior: that won't be a real option i guess. there must be someway to fix the whole system, right? [13:35] khear, Bookmarks | Organize | Import/Export [13:35] i only have a backup of the old .mozilla i used, so do i need to fire up firefox temporarily using it in order to export? or can i just copy a file? [13:35] !wz [13:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about wz [13:36] hi [13:36] whats my "root/superuser password"? [13:36] elementz: well, it's difficult to say without knowing more about what the underlying problem is. removing the password entry should allow your user to log in at least, whereupon they can set the password again. [13:36] that's a popular topic today... [13:37] what is it? [13:37] ageryweryeyey: There isn't one [13:37] ageryweryeyey: by default, the root password is not set [13:37] ageryweryeyey: it's disabled by default. use sudo [13:37] rutrow [13:37] ok [13:37] <_DEL> ageryweryeyey, it is your password, when you use sudo, it give you root privilages [13:37] khear, just tell firefox to user your old profile..

[13:39] Majora: 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. :-) [13:39] my bluetooth NAT does not work correct - any experience with that?

[14:02] ziroday, No. It does that at boot though, you think I should add "killall gnome-panel" to my "sessions" at the end? Gnome-panel started up again without the 100% usage. [14:02] thank you. [14:02] bobbob1016: so at boot gnome-panel uses 100% cpu? [14:02] do you think solaris would operate on a laptop? [14:03] elatio: yep. [14:03] is there a way to force apt to be silent (not ask questions for installs)? [14:03] so it can run barebones, on basic pnp function? [14:03] elatio: wireless drivers may be a problem, you'll need to check the supported list. [14:03] elatio: for solaris questions, ask in #solaris [14:03] lol, ok [14:04] ziroday, It does basically permanently. I haven't booted in a few days, and it's been 100% since then. [14:04] elatio: there're some friendly folks in #opensolaris, they'll be happy to point you in the right direction. [14:04] bobbob1016: what about on a new user? Does it still use 100%?

Also, I can't upgrade from 7.04 to 8.10 directly; 7.04 suggests I update to 7.10, but fails - probably because the pools are long removed. I've downloaded the 8.10 iso though.

[15:04] sipior: i m waiting for reply.. [15:04] FernandF: and after you've done that, see if you can log into an X session [15:04] mint3: you can do it with Ubuntu Tweak, or in gconf-editor [15:04] My video drive detected properly [15:04] Riya: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | should improve things. [15:04] un|matrix, yeah i am trying gconf [15:04] so , how I can format that ??? [15:04] where do i go there [15:05] ArcSighter: Then you don't care? In a terminal window type. Sudo apt-get install gparted. Using that you can reformat the partition. [15:05] ArcSighter: try gparted [15:05] mint3: / --> apps --> nautilus --> desktop ;) [15:05] jimdb_: of course I know about gparted [15:05] Koylaa: well, if you've run ldconfig, and verified that it completed without error, i don't know what else to tell you. you'll need to track down why your code won't link, no way around it. [15:05] arcsighter > dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda [15:05] ArcSighter: Ru [15:06] prince_jammys: does X session mean normal session? [15:06] Koylaa: if you're using an ide of some sort, you might see if it has any useful features for this sort of debugging. [15:06] i just plugged in my network cable and X spontaneously restarted [15:06] FernandF: a GUI session, the kind you're having trouble with [15:06] arcsighter that should write 0'z to all sectors on your device [15:06] I have don the commands you ordered or strongly suggested :) [15:06] ArcSighter: That is your answer. It will format as easily as it partitions. [15:07] does anybody know how can i get the new ubuntu themes? [15:07] price_jammys : on the way master prince [15:07] FernandF: ok. now try to start a graphical sesssion. [15:07] ubuntistas, www.gnome-look.org has a lot of stuff [15:08] FernandF: it may not work, but those permissions were wrong and that file can sometimes cause the error [15:08] prince_jammys same error [15:08] <|REM|> i run ubuntu in a vm. it gets shut down improperly and then i have to manually mount it and run fsck on it every time it starts up. Is it feesible to write a script that just runs and does this whether or not it is needed so I dont have to do it manually/ [15:08] hi [15:08] FernandF: "less than 10 seconds" ? [15:08] prince_jammys, FernandF what does the error hold exactly? [15:08] how can I enable the new notification system um Jaunty?

I have an older version. Let me move to the newest and see if that will fix it... =) [15:09] hi all! is there a network application clients can access and let the server log all their activity? [15:09] prince_jammys, did you check if the driver is set in xorg.conf and stuff? [15:09] <|REM|> i just figured it was a file system issue [15:09] prince_jammys after i have a way to read details of error and I made it [15:09] Stefano: Samba? [15:10] Whoops. [15:10] s3r3n1t7: no, be my guest. i once solved the problem with .ICEauthority. shame it took forever to change the perms back to normal. [15:10] genii, I can monitot also local application wuth samba? [15:10] What is CTCP Version? [15:10] How can I create a new, accurate, and working partition table for my drive without delete the information contained therein? [15:10] genii, sorry : monitor [15:10] prince_jammys, it can be a pain, yes. [15:10] prince_jammys: and error messages are [15:11] NoobGuest: first do a backup, then reformate your drive [15:11] Anyone that can help me add winxp in menu.lst ? [15:11] How do I work settings online [15:11] genii, I wouldn't create a domain [15:11] prince_jammys, there's 2 other causes that i know off, one is a wrong video driver and the other is a full HD. [15:11] prince_jammys: /etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup... [15:11] how do i obtain a .bin file for sun-jdk-jre package [15:11] s3r3n1t7: yeah, heard of those. [15:11] i cannot find themes in it ser [15:11] alrightyy, i've been fighting this for days, i have a new sound card, PCI, it comes up as a Crystal Fusion CS46xx, ever since i installed it, no audio/visual app works right, and i see 3 of each of the two sound cards in my system, whats going on here? [15:11] Backup is unnecessary as it is a fresh install I was mostly interested in it for the knowledge purposes [15:11] FernandF: that error is mentioned plenty in the forums. you should take a look at that, and listen to s3r3n1t7 [15:11] prince_jammys: No profile found for user 'fernando' [15:12] FernandF, would you be so kind to check if you hard disk is full? [15:12] prince_jammys: i took and tryed the solutions [15:12] Anyone have a link comparing EXT to NTFS? I'm curious how EXT does not fragment the HDD [15:12] nprince_jammys: no way [15:12] kneeki: Which EXT - ext2, ext3 or ext4? [15:12] NoobGuest: > !grub [15:12] FernandF: who owns your home dir? [15:13] !defrag | kneeki [15:13] kneeki: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [15:13] grawity: ext3 now, since ext4 is not mainstream yet [15:13] !grub > NoobGuest [15:13] NoobGuest, please see my private message [15:13] FernandF: ls -ld /home/fernando and paste the line here [15:13] grawity, what is CTCP Version? [15:13] thanks! [15:13] prince_jammys: there is more tan one week i am fighting as this system is the core of my home network and my wif and daughters would have problems if i loose all i have inside and the conections to printers [15:13] how do i obtain a .bin file for sun-jdk-jre package [15:13] how do i obtain a .bin file for sun-jdk-jre package [15:13] its a ctcp request wich will get what version of irc client you're using [15:13] He-man: CTCPs are a kind of messages that are intended for the IRC client (program) itself, not the user. If I send you a CTCP Version command, your client replies with its name. [15:14] He-man: Try /ctcp grawity version [15:14] cheers [15:14] FernandF: well, this doesn't suggest you've lost any data [15:14] Stefano: samba monitors what files are open by what user, who logged in when, etc. But since it's primarily a file serving program it has no mechanism for spying on what the clients are doing outside of those things [15:14] Ah, okay. [15:14] So is mine the same version as yours? [15:14] grawity: you can shorten that too /version [15:14] Stefano: Apologies on lag, work required me [15:14] genii, exactly, I need something like that [15:14] gartral: That depends on the client. [15:14] sipior: thnks for the reply i will check it out [15:14] genii, it's ok! [15:15] grawity: it works in pidgin, rissi, xchat, and konversation.... [15:15] gartral: But it might not work in other clients. And /ctcp works even on jmIrc. [15:15] where can i find the new ubuntu themes like wave? [15:15] ? [15:15] how do u change theme on gnome [15:16] What is the +e and -e? Sounds like a physics lesson. [15:16] dreamglider: ill look at this thanks [15:16] alrighty, i've been fighting this for days, i have a new sound card, PCI, it comes up as a Crystal Fusion CS46xx, ever since i installed it, no audio/visual app works right, and i see 3 of each of the two sound cards in my system, whats going on here? [15:16] He-man: it's to let people who are joining from a web gateway in [15:16] mint3, System -> Preferences -> Appearance [15:17] or right click,choose change background,you'll get a theme switcher and all of it's preferences [15:17] prince_jammys: sorry i missed the command line ...put it again please [15:17] Thanks LjL. What is a web gateway? Is that like from a computer on a server? [15:17] FernandoF: a simple check: ls -ld /home/fernando [15:17] gartral: is your card known to work? Have you tried other drivers? What driver are you using? Are u using pulse? etc etc [15:17] He-man: i can explain in #ubuntu-offtopic if you're interested, it's not really ontopic for this place [15:17] He-man: On IRC, channel mode +e is "ban exception" - if user's hostmask is on the exception list, then he will be unaffected by bans. [15:17] prince_jammys: i do not know why but now i am having some blus screens in this rescue comper ...so sorry [15:17] Ah, okay. Not necessary, but thanksLjL. [15:18] He-man: And by web gateway, I think you mean the web-based IRC clients such as Mibbit. [15:18] FernandoF: heh, that sucks. everything's breaking! [15:18] Thanks grawity. [15:19] Picassotamus: yes, this card has worked in ever other version of ubuntu ive tryed, and i have tryed useing pulse, oss, alsa, esd, and jack, non work, at least as i expect it, and if there were a way to remove the intergrated card, or disable it inside ubuntu, that would be ideal [15:19] FernandF, did you run that command he gave you? [15:20] gartral: can u disable it in BIOS? [15:20] prince_jammys: /home/fernando [15:20] where can i get some decent gnome themes [15:20] prince_jammys: do you want i list initial line as wel [15:20] Hi! [15:20] I've read about libproxy-mozjs and libproxy-webkit, but I still don't know what option to choose.

I'm building a second system atm, so i'm afraid i'll have to leave the helping to you. [15:22] i need a standalone .bin file for i386 architecture don't have resources to satisfy dependencies [15:22] Hello all [15:22] Picassotamus: nope :) these bios are worse than anything ive ever seen, theres not even a way to enable/disable PS/2 support on the board, your forced to leave it on [15:22] prince_jammys: i did it [15:22] pronoy: Then you need to seek it out from the java website. [15:22] s3r3n1t7: go for it. you take over. my two short checks took a couple of hours [15:22] How can I go about removing all accessories, to start again with downloading other programs on my computer?

[15:23] ok [15:23] gartral: hmmm [15:23] I am after a raw ubuntu, like I had originally to start again without uploading too much other stuff. === dusko is now known as FraDolcino [15:24] Picassotamus: heh, not to sound like im pressing a point, but, you can't set seconds in the clock.... [15:24] He-man: you basically want a fresh install without reinstlaling? [15:24] FernandF, please run this command ==> df -h <== it should tell you if there is a partition is full or not. Please tell me if a partition is above 90% full. [15:24] Yes, pretty much. I dont mind reinstalling, but I tried to install other Linux versions and was unsuccessful, hence the mayhem.LjL [15:25] He-man: if you can find a list of the default packages installed, it should be easy - but i'm not sure where to find such a list, hm [15:26] LjL, wouldn't the ubuntu-desktop be the meta package created for that purpose? [15:26] Anyone that can help me add winxp in menu.lst please ? Feel free to PM me. [15:26] Yes, it would be helpful, although I have probably downloaded hundreds of other ones since. LjL [15:26] s3r3n1t7: yes, but i don't know how to tell APT "remove everything except ubuntu-desktop's dependencies" [15:27] He-man: but you don't want to keep them, right? [15:27] lol LjL. It sure would be useful. === Nightwalker_ is now known as Nightwalker- === luis_lopez is now known as luis_lopez_away [15:27] True LjL [15:27] LjL, good point. [15:28] LjL: dpkg --get-selections ?

[15:28] ,m// [15:28] LjL, if you can create a second root, then i guess you could rebuild your system on that drive... right? [15:28] hil: yup - that works if someone had a pristine ubuntu installation - but i don't [15:29] i see [15:29] He-man: have you also installed programs *without* using APT? (like .tar.gz balls, or .bin or .sh scripts) [15:30] sorry for bad english , i forgot to allocate free space on my 160gb harddisk when i setup the ubuntu , now i need 40gb free ( not formated ) space on my harrdisk can i do that ? i have 160gb all for ubuntu at the moment [15:30] Sorry LjL, I can only guess that it is a yes. I am so new at this, and I have been blindly grabbing things that I thought would be practical, and others to see what they are. Quite indiscriminately. There are only some that I have used the tar.gz commands on, and I don't know what they were. [15:30] thx prince jammys [15:31] Like a kid in a lolly shop, and now my teeth are falling out, and I am on a hyper, and can't sleep.lol [15:31] I have a corrupt usb drive with no partition table and parted mklabel fails on segfault, any tip? [15:31] FernandoF: welcome. good luck [15:31] He-man: uhm, i'd reinstall from scratch... on the secondary HD as you say. returning to a pristine install without actually reinstalling is probably possible, but also more complicated than just reinstalling :| [15:31] how can i put the beta version in another partition any clue? [15:31] can anyone help me please [15:32] tq|Memphis: with? [15:32] sorry for bad english , i forgot to allocate free space on my 160gb harddisk when i setup the ubuntu , now i need 40gb free ( not formated ) space on my harrdisk can i do that ? i have 160gb all for ubuntu at the moment [15:32] anyone? [15:32] try to check with gParted [15:32] Yeah, sounds fair enough. Thanks too. Only other problem is the drive is unmountable for some reason. I dont know if it needs formatting to a specific file system, and if it does, I dont know how to do it. [15:32] how do u get to gconf again [15:33] ArcSighter: Sorry mate, I know nothing. I am a dummy. [15:33] salve [15:33] bittin_: gparted is a frontend to parted do you know? of course it crashes too [15:33] mint3: gconf-editor [15:33] sigh, no thoughts Picassotamus? [15:33] s3r3n1t7: df -h made what info are you looking for [15:33] ubuntistas: simply tell the installer to use the partition you want for /. just be quite sure that you don't clobber any existing data in the process, on a partition that you want to keep. you can use the same swap file for each install. [15:34] ArcSighter: How about... dd if=/dev/zero of=/theusbdevice bs=1024 count=16 [15:34] so, if I upgrade to 9.04 rc, and want to utilize ext4 fs...........I pretty much have to surrender all of my settings, customization and applications and start from scratch right? [15:34] s3r3n1t7: /dev/sda3 68% use [15:34] FernandoF, if you hard disks are full, your root and home drive. [15:34] i downloaded this theme from gnome look. how do i install it [15:34] brandonban6: not if you have backups. [15:34] ArcSighter: That would completely zero out the first 16 k, including (I guess) the partition table. [15:34] i have extracted it and all [15:34] !changetheme > mint3 [15:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about changetheme [15:34] !changethemes > mint3 [15:34] mint3, please see my private message [15:34] ArcSighter: But be very careful ™ [15:35] sipior, something like simple backup would be just fine then? [15:35] FernandoF, do you use any other partitions? [15:35] !gnome-applets [15:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome-applets [15:35] Hello.. [15:35] ok,the bot doesn't knoe [15:35] bittin_ : it seems good thanks [15:35] where do i configure gnome applets? [15:35] !upgrade [15:35] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [15:35] BlackCoffee, applets? you mean screenlets? =) [15:35] Is it possible to run "graphical" applications, e.g. Firefox, in the console, i.e. without a graphical desktop environment? [15:35] tmpfs, varrun, varlock, udev and lrm are 0 or 1% use [15:36] i guess hehe === martin_ is now known as Like [15:36] !screenlets [15:36] Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have a compositing window manager such as !Compiz Fusion, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ [15:36] sheld: no === Tonio__ is now known as Tonio_ [15:36] brandonban6: depends on what you want to keep. if you're planning on upgrading all of your partitions to ext4, might as well reinstall, and restore your user data from backups. [15:36] ok,that was pretty clear :) thx [15:36] grawity: I've used dd already, but not with your params let me check === bharathramnath is now known as Nike [15:37] sheld: if you want to use a web browser in the console, try links and/or lynx [15:37] does annyone know a commabd for linux ubuntu server to renw your internet connection [15:37] grawity: it seg faults too, this is fdisk -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/139026/ [15:37] grawity: and here the segfault in parted: http://paste.ubuntu.com/139029/ [15:37] any clues, anyone? [15:37] sipior, thanks, I think I will do that! I'm excited for the official release [15:38] zillenplus: best guess would be sudo dhclient eth0 [15:38] In case there are any devs here I have run into an issue with the "install" program on the desktop. When I am in safe graphics mode on the live on the install program is larger than the actual screen and it is not resizeable. This means I cant see all of the options at the bottom. [15:38] my firefox browser takes the full screen and doesn't display the toolbar!! [15:38] un|matrix: I am currently using w3m, however as a web developer I need to browse graphically. This is the only reason why I needed to install Gnome. [15:38] Nike: Press F11 [15:38] error netwok is down !!!!! [15:39] sheld: so you've got gnome... what's the problem then? [15:39] zilleplus: ? [15:39] zillenplus: is it a wireless connection? [15:39] i got this from the command sudo dhclient eth1 [15:39] can't get internet [15:39] Hellotion! I got an intel 945 gfx - and when I use compiz and tab between minimized windows the displayed images of the windows are garbeled. Any fix? Seems to me like its just displaying random data from the video memory [15:39] grawity: Thanks. But still it doesn't seem to help [15:39] zilleplus: i said eth0 :b [15:39] i knwo [15:39] un|matrix: I think you could use Firefox with something simpler... Xfce or fwm [15:40] but i got 2 eth devices [15:40] eht1 is the working one [15:40] are there any rtl8150 usb-to-ethernet drivers for ubuntu? we tried on cent-os 5 with no luck. === fuks is now known as amz [15:40] un|matrix: It eats lots of disk space and resources, and I need it just for this one task. [15:40] lemme check [15:40] ok is compiz-fusion the same as compiz-gnome? [15:40] zilleplus: and which one is the non-working one? [15:40] eth0 [15:40] alrighty, i've been fighting this for days, i have a new sound card, PCI, it comes up as a Crystal Fusion CS46xx, ever since i installed it, no audio/visual app works right, and i see 3 of each of the two sound cards in my system, whats going on here? [15:40] shled: How about Xfce or something even simpler instead of Gnome? [15:40] s3r3n1t7: after df -h i got a table with results for /dev/sda3, tmpfs, varrun, varlock, udev and lrm ... and only /dev/sda3 has 68% of use . Others show 0 or 1% [15:41] gartral: sorry, in and out here at work... um i know there is a way to set a default sound card for alsa, idk if u tried that already, but that would be what i would check next [15:41] sheld: what grawity said [15:41] Picassotamus: no, i havent found that, awesome, where is it? [15:41] grawity: thanks for the suggestions [15:41] FernandoF, there is no //dev/sda1 or /dev/sda2 ? [15:41] zilleplus: then why did you type eth1 instead of eth0 [15:41] no [15:41] grawity: I got it [15:41] gartral: where do you see 3x each of 2 sound cards? cat /etc/asound/cards? [15:42] potrebuju pomoc [15:42] Picassotamus: in any gui window, on sec, ill take a screen shot [15:42] !cz [15:42] České uživatele žádáme, aby mluvili v kanále #ubuntu anglicky. Česky je možno se domluvit v #ubuntu-cz. Děkujeme. [15:42] eth0 is not installed its broken [15:42] s3r3n1t7: no [15:42] Hmm, I am certainly new here. [15:42] zilleplus: oh you mean ifconfig doesn't show it? [15:42] grawity, un|matrix: However my ideal solution would be something like firefox running in fullscreen mode on tty2 and "normal" non-graphical stuff on tty1 [15:43] FernandoF, ok. So that rules out a full hard disk. Would you be so kind to tell me what graphics card you use? and please run this command and tell me what it gives you. ==> cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver [15:43] no its broke i have new one eth1 i installed the drivers from its [15:43] shled: You could try using Firefox on pure X. [15:43] FernandoF, the last 2 lines are the ones of interest. [15:43] if i use ohter it will error [15:43] Nvidea [15:43] sheld: technically you can run it with only the x server running (no desktop manager) [15:43] sheld: but i forgot how to do that, maybe someone will know [15:43] shled: On a console, try running this: DISPLAY=:7 xterm [15:43] Picassotamus: it seems when i have a drop open, i cannot call the printscreen function.... [15:43] must X run as root? [15:43] 19683 root 20 0 390m 48m 10m S 15 2.4 4:15.70 Xorg [15:43] shled: Replace :7 with whatever console is X running on. [15:43] jatt: yes [15:44] why> [15:44] grawity: yes I know, but actually parted keeps crashing [15:44] grawity: I'm zeroing all disk now [15:44] grawity: did you check the pastes? [15:44] grawity: using GNU Parted 1.7.1 on ubuntu 8.04.2 [15:44] ArcSighter: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:44] it would probably be 1 gb usb stick drive [15:44] fdisk gives me 998 mb so that's ok [15:44] but gparted and parted both crash when trying to mklabel [15:44] jatt: yes, becaues if it wasnt root, it couldnt wright to the fs the way it does (IIRC) [15:44] !enter | ArcSighter [15:44] ArcSighter: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:44] s3r3n1t7: my graphics card has been changed recently [15:44] gartral: if you go to a terminal and type cat /proc/asound/cards what do you see? [15:44] ArcSighter: Yeah, mhm, I did, okay, mhm, it's okay, I think it's related to some security software you have installed. [15:44] FernandoF, aah. And from what card to what did you change it? [15:44] grawity: thanks [15:44] isn't it dangerous? [15:45] s3r3n1t7: it was NVIDEA and the new one worked well after i pluged it [15:45] to run X as root? [15:45] shled: If it doesn't work, try installing dwm as a window manager [15:45] jatt: X always runs as root [15:45] grawity: thank you very much [15:45] I think X drops privileges after setting things up :/ (dunno) [15:45] FernandoF, would you still be so kind to execute the command i gave you a little bit up? [15:45] ArcSighter: you didn't actually type all those in a row, did you? [15:45] s3r3n1t7: new one is gigabyte 9400gt [15:45] Picassotamus: just two, but curiously, both assigned IRQ 11 [15:46] gartral: That might be your problem [15:46] gartral: what about /proc/asound/modules ? [15:46] s3r3n1t7: fearing problem with disk space i deleted a lot of data (not system) files [15:46] who can i talk to about implementing an option to nautilus? [15:46] ok I found the article "Running X Without Root Privileges" will take a look at it. I don't feel safe with a large application like X running as root. [15:46] Picassotamus: great, and with that glorified clocksetter of a BIOS, no easy way to fix it [15:46] Why would a new drive, external sata, not be recognised by my computer? [15:47] s3r3n1t7: so i have more than enough disk space now [15:47] FernandoF, ok [15:47] he-man: is it unformatted? [15:47] s3r3n1t7: may be i need to refresh the system [15:47] NoobGuest: Yes. How do I format it? [15:47] s3r3n1t7: but i did not find the commands for that in forums [15:47] LjL: sorry if haven't following what I've used is sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1024 count=16; sudo parted /dev/sdc mklabel msdos [15:47] jatt: X won't have direct rendering if you run it without root privileges [15:47] FernandoF, please execute the command i gave you before first. I do have an idea which might be the cause of it, but i'd prefer to check it first. [15:47] He-man there are several different methods === ScottG is now known as ScottG489 [15:48] Picassotamus: i see 2 devices, though, different than whats in my machine [15:48] gartral: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/default-sound-card-in-ubuntu-564006/ Shows you how to blacklist sound cards [15:48] He-man: the easiest is probably to use gparted [15:48] s3r3n1t7: could you be so kind and repet th command [15:48] hi i installed Wubi and i got a folder "E:\ubuntu\disks\boot\grub", but nothing is in there.. is something wrong? [15:48] molgrum: did you restart? [15:48] NoobGuest: Okay. do I do that through Terminal?

[15:49] gartral: Onboard soun cards w/ pci sound cards can cause issues, but if you can blacklist that and reboot, you may just be in luck :) [15:49] NoobGuest: Okay. I have typed it in, and I have to sudo it? I should be, but I dont think I am. [15:49] he-man: root is the equivalent of system administrator privileges on windows os [15:50] kne someone does not find the linux mixsazni counter [15:50] he-man: yes type "sudo gparted" [15:50] Picassotamus: does it matter that these instructions are way old? [15:50] Thanks. i need to install it NoobGuest. Ill just try that. [15:50] hmm [15:50] s3r3n1t7: is the sign ==> part of the comand? [15:50] on my version of ubuntu it is already installed [15:51] LjL: I don't know, actually I kept it in the same lines and used pastebin, what actually hapens if that i have a usb drive that doesn't get recognized and i tried /dev/zeroing it, without results, parted's mklabel crashes on segfault, any tips? [15:51] Picassotamus: or, to be more specific, for 7.04, when im running 8.10 [15:51] thank you very [15:51] FernandoF, no, that is to show where the chatting stops and the command starts. The command begins with cat. [15:51] ArcSighter: well, it is "recognized" somehow if you can zero it in the first place [15:51] gartral: year and a half? yeah i guess kinda old. Well if it were me i would try it... backup your file, then you can always revert [15:51] s3r3n1t7: gr8 thx [15:51] NoobGuest: That is the funny thing. I dont seem to have the privileges easily enough to do things, although it could have been from downloading things and playing with settings, I dont know for sure. [15:51] Picassotamus: no way to back up... [15:52] NoobGuest: It is loading though. [15:52] ArcSighter: (excuse the CTCP, i needed to check your lag) [15:52] he-man: but it said you do not have root privileges? [15:53] If I type sudo, it gives me root. The only thing that caused me grief was the antivirus "Clam" where it says to upload new signatures, and then says I can't cos I am not root [15:53] Anyone that can help me add winxp in menu.lst please ?

[17:12] cellofellow: i know so i did a copy of the mbr [17:13] julian_, you want to restore grub, right? [17:13] julian_: from the livecd you can do grub-install to install grub in the mbr. [17:13] grub is loading fine but it starts under vista entry my xp and under xp nothin [17:13] so i know there was something like grub-update with rescan or something [17:13] but i cant find it [17:13] julian_: grub-update won't add your Windows kernels.

I used unetbootin to put it on a flash drive, but during installation it keeps asking me for a mirror to download from. [18:03] |PaperTiger|: back it up by copying it to anywhere you like [18:03] |PaperTiger|, yes copying it anywhere is plenty [18:03] |PaperTiger|, I always do: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.bak [18:03] i'm on 8.10 and somehow managed to get seahorse to crash my computer whenever i try to check signatures in bzr visualize [18:04] at least i think its seahorse at fault [18:04] i get a dbus timeout exception from bzr [18:04] HammerHead66: Ill look into it..

[18:05] Leon_Nardella: the program is asking you were you want to download from the net the program is only so big so it has to download the rest from online [18:05] net1: are you talking to me? because if i have to reinstall, i'm reinstalling debian ;-) [18:05] schmichael ya i use 8.04 [18:06] HammerHead66: It says on the website: No driver required for this product [18:06] HammerHead66: It's provided as an ISO.

But you need some basic stuff for that. I don't know if it works on a floppy.. [18:08] |PaperTiger|, that is correct [18:08] or even Leon_Nardella afaik there's a usb disk installer on the live cd [18:08] HammerHead66: No. It's really new [18:08] to extract a tar.bz2 file the command is "tar jxvf filename.tar.bz2" right? [18:08] <|PaperTiger|> Titan8990, thank you. [18:08] |PaperTiger|, well, really a bit more than log out and in, need hit CTRL+ALT+backspace [18:08] is there a graphical interface to set up ubuntu full system encryption? [18:08] riwa: The point is that I don't to do a network install, since I already have the ISO. [18:08] Eimhin, you can usally leave out the 'j' - tar will recognize it for you [18:08] riwa: hhmm I don't know what to tell you then sorry I couldn't help you [18:09] alright [18:09] * Machtin loves his unp-script [18:09] kdub432: I used unetbootin which usually work for Ubuntu isos, but the lpia ISO is an alternate version which will only try to do networked installs when put on the USB drive. [18:09] well [18:09] Leon_Nardella: Well the iso is for burning...

[18:12] finiras: If it wasn't secured and someone started spamming the email address you gave in tghe report, I'm sure you might feel otherwise [18:13] oh so genii you're saying that people are sniffing just to get the email address that you use at the bug report [18:13] is there any reason why i wouldn't be able to see a file after extraction? [18:13] Leon_Nardella: I went thru this before you and found out i'm wasting my time opn trying to install the lpia port. The install will not work (no kernel installed) and you will regret to give up compatibility with i386 packages. i talked to some ubuntu-dev and he told me that lpia will be a properly supported architecture in the future, but at the time being only works with Dell mini 9's [18:13] hello [18:13] hi ,everybody , [18:14] hey hh [18:14] yeah,nice to meet u finiras [18:14] Eimhin: did yu click on it and it won't open? [18:14] stefg: Yeah.. Support seems to be half-baked now. [18:14] no i've extracted it and i can't see the extracted file [18:14] theres just nothing there [18:14] finiras: It's offtopic for here. But anything is possible. There are many machines between any given individual and the bug report site. [18:15] Eimhin: were did you extract it to?

[18:15] so i assume the extracted one should be there [18:15] Leon_Nardella: true... and you won't lose anything by using plain i386... battery life is the same, just some obscure compiler flags are set differemtly [18:15] Does anyone here have a Toshiba Satellite A100?

Can anyone hook a brotha up and pastebin the contents or host it for a minute?

[18:22] LjL: suppose i want to install package ABC, so first apt will check out my system for the package metadata or directly will it search the repository ? [18:23] pushkalcodes: it checks the local list that is updated everytime you use sudo aptitude update [18:23] LjL: how do I perform an interrogatory of sources.list? [18:23] pushkalcodes: it will check your system, because the package information is on your system - it gets update when you "sudo apt-get update" (or automatically by the update manager, which checks it periodically) [18:23] noobguest: well if this does the same thing why are yyou worried about the name [18:23] noobguest: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [18:23] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hog9qGjT0Pw owned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hog9qGjT0Pw owned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[19:12] take a look at the handler for swf files as well. [19:12] how can I do that?just close and open it again? [19:12] s3r3n1t7: see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS [19:12] i want to install ubuntu 8.10 but if i choose try ubuntu or install from boot menu i get only white screen [19:13] guvil: yes, every instance of the browser. [19:13] BadHorsie: yes, thats what i asked, if the sources are down then we cant download a newly released software [19:13] thx [19:14] md5 and check CD for errors both said that cd is ok [19:14] pushkalcodes: isn't that obvious tho? if you can't reach google you just can't google. [19:15] oCean_, although the page is very useful, it does not hold the info i need i'm afraid. The folders i'm mounting are not empty as a fall back principle, thus i need to add the nonempty option to sshfs. I'm not sure where to add it, since it's not a default mounting option. [19:15] BadHorsie: if you can't google, you can't talk on irc... [19:15] white screen... [19:15] will my monitor automatically detected if I install my graphic card? [19:16] black-bullet: try Ctrl + Alt + F1 to go to a console [19:16] and where to from there? [19:17] black-bullet: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:17] and take a look at the Driver being used... [19:17] Thrillerboy: If you install the drivers correctly it will. [19:17] I've seen a few cases where you have to change from nvidia to nv if you're using nvidia card tho... [19:17] s3r3n1t7: ok. But options to mount go in the 4th field of fstab line. [19:17] The other night I tried to use the bot on this channel and I received a warning to only use it in private can someone clarify that for me please? [19:17] black-bullet: what card? [19:18] oCean_, even those for sshfs? hmm ok [19:18] ati HD4850 [19:18] judget_: /query the bot [19:18] s3r3n1t7: well, not totally sure in this case, but you could try I guess? [19:18] oCean_, yeah i guess [19:18] !bot | judget_ [19:18] judget_: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [19:18] ah great, ubuntu finished downloading :D [19:19] hum when is Jaunty gonna be released as stable? [19:19] yea... this is what I got "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] (rev b2) [19:19] " when I did, lspci | grep VGA [19:19] Badhorsie, 23th April [19:19] nice [19:20] at least it's the planned date [19:20] BadHorsie: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule [19:20] BadHorsie: keep in mind, that is a planning. It's ready when it's ready [19:21] as it should be [19:21] hello,what was the name for the flash plugin, if I want to install it from the add and remove? [19:21] guvil: flashplugin-nonfree [19:21] thx alot [19:22] oCean_: well, i have it at home already, just saw lots of upgrades this morning and was curious [19:22] looks pretty nice for being still unstable/testing [19:22] BadHorsie: yesterday was beta release [19:23] BadHorsie, yea its beta upgrades [19:23] hi all [19:23] BadHorsie: I used it since the first alphas and It´s really good working. There were some nvidia issues at the 3th alpha but all other alpha releases were great [19:23] not there [19:23] gotta go [19:23] cu [19:23] flashplugin-nonfree [19:23] Quick question - if I was to get the Jaunty Beta, could I upgrade to the final when it comes out or do I need to install it fresh over the beta? [19:24] The_Joe, you can upgrade it. [19:24] Okie doke [19:24] Thanks [19:24] nope [19:24] hi [19:24] I just downloaded a program called keymapper but it's not in my $PATH. How can I check what programs a package installed? [19:24] Silverwing: I believe the only problems I had was when trying to use compizfussion-plugins-nonsupported or whatever the name is haha, nothing compared to sid on unstability [19:24] s/unstability/unusability [19:25] hello, I could not use my browser to watch videos, eventhough I have installed flash plugin [19:25] does anyone know why i cant find package gddrescue from aptitude apt-get or synaptic on 8.10 live cd? [19:25] i've enabled all reposiories [19:26] guvil: what browser are you using? [19:26] opera [19:26] i can not mount my a partition on my hdd, saying that according to mtab, /dev/sda2 is already mounted on /media/disk [19:26] guvil: take a look at /home/sebas/.opera/pluginpath.ini [19:26] !info gddrescue [19:26] gddrescue (source: gddrescue): the GNU data recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2-1.3 (intrepid), package size 32 kB, installed size 128 kB [19:27] usually flashplugin goes inside the directory /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [19:27] guvil: make sure you have a line such as /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins=1 [19:27] guvil, you need to tell opera where to look for plugins [19:27] in the [Path] section [19:27] i have universe enabled [19:27] guvil, you can also do it from tool->preferences->advanced->content->plugin options from within opera itself === Mud|shower is now known as Mud [19:28] lol I said /home/sebas/.opera/pluginpath.ini instead of ~/.opera/pluginpath.ini [19:29] is there a patch/update through ubuntu for the CUPS bug which prints landscape items upside down instead of in landscape? [19:29] ffs the disk performance freakin gets worse and worse for each kernel release these days [19:29] :/ [19:29] now it takes AGES to decompress a movie, before it only took ages ... [19:29] and before that it was fast as hell :/ [19:30] iowaits % of 90+ ... === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [19:30] how fun is that :/ [19:30] Can somebody tell me the appropriate package to apt-get to install KDE? [19:31] MrSunshine, one word. BSD [19:31] hey got problem with ubuntu server 8 i got IP adress on server but no internet but i ame in my router's dhcp server so i ame in the network with internet [19:31] Huufarted: maybe kde-core or something around it, kubuntu-desktop might be easier [19:31] when i check my system monitor i see that python is using almost all my cpu power why is that? [19:32] evening [19:32] morning [19:32] BadHorsie, thanks. I think I've seen others use kubuntu-desktop so I'll give that one a shot. :) Thanks... time to soak up my employer's bandwidth [19:32] hybr1der, python maybe responsible for a lot of issues, a program written in python, package manager uses python, it can be pretty much anything [19:32] and could someone help me understand the cpu scale on linux when it says 1.45, what is that? [19:32] just have to say jausty alpha is awesome:) finally a distro where my wireless works perfectly [19:32] Huufarted: have... fun I guess [19:32] okay [19:32] anyone know in squid here thx. [19:32] nvm i got it...packages need updating =p [19:33] hybr1der: run top or htop to see the exact command. as usser said, python per se may be nearly everything [19:33] BadHorsie: just kinda getting annoyed because Gnome makes me feel like a little kid with how it doesn't let me change a ton of settings. It's a rather condescending desktop manager. [19:34] Hello I am trying to compile a wine pkg, but it keeps asking for more and dependencies, I typed sudo apt-get install build-essential but I still need more dependencies, what am I doing wrong? It was X libs or something it also wanted bison and flex. [19:34] amadeus, sudo apt-get build-dep wine [19:34] thanks [19:34] Huufarted: well... I prefer gnome to KDE IF I need a desktop-manager, I'm happy enough with fluxbox [19:34] E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list [19:35] amadeus: You're not just installing wine by adding therir repository to your sources.list and using the package manager? [19:35] amadeus, that should install all the dependencies needed for wine. But its for the version in the repos, dependencies might have changed in newer versions of wine, nevertheless that should get most of it [19:35] genii: I am using wine-git [19:35] hi all, just a quick question: can the jaunty CD create a encrypted filesys [19:35] or will i need the alternate cd? [19:35] BadHorsie, im of a simular mind, xfce is good enough for me if multimonito support for my card worked right in it id still be useing it, but after playing with KDE4.? that ships with fedora 10, im starting to change my mind [19:35] BadHorsie: Just want to give both a test drive. Don't know until I try them both. [19:36] xfce is great if you got low ram [19:36] the reason I want to compile my own wine is because I don't have alsa drivers in my winecfg for some reason, no sound. [19:36] i use it on my lowram notebook ;) [19:36] yeah...olny 1 gig on this box..its tough... [19:36] and I am using wine 1.1.7 [19:36] I mean 1.1.17 [19:36] how about the whole disk encryption with the Jaunty CD? [19:36] hi im trying to use my laptop speakers as sound for my xbox, not sure which setting to change, any help? [19:36] can the graphical installer do, or will i need the alternate? [19:37] was useing xfce, liked it alot, but i run gnome now...its a thinkpad A30....p3-1130mhz, 1 gig of ram, actually is really fast even with an xp vbox open along with tons of other stuff [19:37] im kind of amazed everyday as to how responsive it is, even when the load is nearing 10 [19:37] can no one help me with my encryption question??? [19:38] genii: What can I do to get my wine to use alsa, alsa is not in the winecfg just something called NAS, which doesn't help me i'm afraid. [19:38] darkfile1, dont know on that one [19:38] hm [19:38] ok i will download the standard one and let me surprise [19:38] hallo there [19:38] Oh my god! Is anyone chinese? [19:38] no.. [19:38] amadeus: I don't bother using wine, so not much help there [19:38] kid, yeah, over a billion people are [19:39] how do i rename a usb hard drive? the curent one is causing me problems because i has a space in it (Freeagent Dive) [19:39] docid: +1 [19:39] genii: thaks [19:39] amadeus: For specifically wine-related questions however, the channel #winehq is likely better to ask in than here [19:39] 是吗，这句话有人能认识吗？ [19:39] Chakravanti: how is the space a problem? [19:39] genii: well they can't help me I asked them [19:39] i actually use jack with wine, but dont use wine much anymore now that i got vbox working well [19:39] !zh | kid [19:39] kid: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [19:39] ddrescue returns ddrescue:too many files [19:40] Chakravanti: Have you tried putting quotes around it? [19:40] docid: does vbox work well with jack? I hope so [19:40] will do ty [19:40] docid ,can you speak chinese? [19:40] I've heard you can download stuff from IRC channels, such as movie, applications, games.. I wonder if these downloads are crypted or not.. somebody could explain me? [19:40] grandemahatma: pretty sure they aren't [19:40] dunno amadeus , it works well with wine, i use it to play portal and alflife [19:40] grandemahatma: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Client-to-Client [19:40] dunno if it works with vbox though [19:41] Why can't i access my console with ^-alt F1? [19:41] hi im trying to use my laptop speakers as sound for my xbox, worked on intrepid and hardy but im not sure what settings to change on jaunty?

[20:07] i gave up sex for ubuntu [20:07] amadeus: I just want to wipe a harddrive so there's nothing on it, but is writeable by Ubuntu [20:07] Zedde: right click on the clock [20:07] hey [20:07] whats goin on [20:07] Jeruvy: I said server != X [20:07] hi Guest18499 [20:07] BTW should writing DVDs be any problem with UDMA/33 according to http://codepad.org/n2KMmfAb on Hardy? CD-Rs are recorded just fine, and the bandwidth should at worst reach around a quarter of even the 40-pin link. Or something wrong in wodim? [20:07] ChrizC: If you can, use gparted and format it as ext3 [20:07] usser: i went to that site, but as far as i can tell I don't need those drivers because I have 2.6.27 kernel. I could install compat-wireless by installing that backport module package with apt-get [20:08] connect #ubuntu+1 [20:08] ? [20:08] ChrizC: how secure do you want it to be? [20:08] janedoe_, you need to define port 8085 in /etc/services -- maybe [20:08] Jeruvy: i don't see it in the channel list? [20:08] ChrizC: what drive the one you have now? Or the another one, is it a certain partition? [20:09] Hey, trying to use "webcam" with a config file to upload an image to a server but I get the following error: "v4l2: oops: select timeout". Any ideas? All help is appreciated. [20:09] Jeruvy: I refrace the question how do I set the time from the comand prompt [20:09] i am guessing akorn, put i would load up the system, and then reinstall grub, this time reinstall grub to to your hard drive (grub reinstall is only 3 commands) [20:09] can someone help me mount a external hdd thats showing up as a usb disk sometimes and an scsi drive others but never mounts [20:09] ChrizC: type sudo cfdisk but don't do anything [20:09] Steffy: date -S [20:09] whats up [20:09] cemc, compat-wireless is even more recent than backports [20:09] -s rather [20:09] BadHorsie: date -S selects timeout? [20:09] or man date [20:10] hey [20:10] teddy_: okay that's what i was gonna do was just wondering how i could add the USB drive to it but i'm sure i'll figure that out, i'm in my HD install now anyway [20:10] cemc, try with backports sure, but it didnt work for me when i had problems so i didnt suggest it at first [20:10] teddy_: thanks [20:10] !ask | Guest18499 [20:10] Guest18499: 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. :-) [20:10] amadeus: yep [20:10] cemc, compat-wireless fixed my issue [20:10] My Pidgin is way out of date..2.4x...I need the pidgin 2.5+ [20:10] when in a Terminal, is it possible to open up a file manager thingy from the current path? [20:10] that was for Zedde, Steffy, sorry [20:10] like you can in windows with "start ." [20:10] BadHorsie: thought so :P No worries [20:10] usser: ok, I'll try it then, because the backport package isn't working for me either [20:10] cemc, as far as 2.6.27 kernel version goes, yes iwl drivers are included in the kernel but compat-wireless is more recent and it works on 2.6.27 [20:10] Svish|Laptop: Try nautilus, if you're on Gnome. [20:11] Jaunty Rocks > http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/4562/matrixjaunty200903273.png [20:11] ChrizC: normally to delete a partition you first have to know what partition you want to delete or modify, so do this now, type mount and report your /dev/hd? tome [20:11] grawity: perfect =) === Andre_Gondim-afk is now known as Andre_Gondim [20:11] 18 second boot on a single core 2.4 ghz + 1 gig ram [20:11] akorn: you may need to register to list channels...it's there [20:11] Anyone running on a Dell Latitude D800? I just installed ubuntu and love it - got compbiz working and that sold me.. one issue is suspend/hibernate - wondering if anyone has that working. [20:11] that graph is sweet, how did you do that ? [20:11] teddy_, sudo apt-get install bootchart [20:11] Jeruvy: how do i do that? im not that familiar with IRC :) [20:11] ChrizC: and btw do you just want this drive for storage, or is it a win 32 fat format? [20:12] then the logs will be found in /var/log/bootchart [20:12] can anyone help me? i restored my xorg file (didn't help original problem) but now i can't set my screen resolution low enough to play games... [20:12] akorn: /join #ubuntu+1 [20:12] ahh [20:12] Jeruvy: thansk [20:12] Jeruvy: im a dummy thanks [20:12] TomV-415, Which version? 8.10 or 8.04 ? [20:12] can someone help me? i cant write to my second hard drive, i dont know which options to put in the fstab file to allow to do this automatically on startup [20:13] 8.10.. [20:13] ChrizC: if you know the drive you want mounted, ubuntu should mount that drive, so say your partition is on /dev/sda3 you would just type in your /media directory sudo mount /dev/sda3 [20:13] gameboy439: more info needed [20:13] TomV-415, suspend works Ok on my D600, I remember hearing about a bug on the hibernate [20:13] Hey guys, has anyone got some sapre time to spend with a first timer? [20:13] Mion: what info do you need? [20:14] can anyone help me? i restored my xorg file (didn't help original problem) but now i can't set my screen resolution low enough to play games...(hardy) [20:14] mrwes, that's very encouraging. How to you invoke and resume it? [20:14] gameboy439: what filesystem the partion has, for a starter [20:14] s oi [20:14] Mion: the filesystem is ext3 [20:14] TomV-415, for suspend? [20:14] So I just made some new pannels, but when I maximise a window, it doesnt fit to the panel, it goes under it. Fix? [20:15] gameboy439: probably just permissions then, `man chown` and `man chmod` [20:15] so i did "sudo view /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [20:15] MrWes, yeah, I was able to "suspend" using the menu in the upper right corner, but when I resume, i just get a black screen... maybe it has to do with grub? [20:15] gameboy439: for ext3, the permission is stored in the filesystem itself, and isn't set a mount [20:16] MrWes, how do you return after a suspend? [20:16] it configured video device , configured monitor, defult screen [20:16] TomV-415, hrmm...when I open my laptop lid, I get a small window prompting me for my password [20:16] Mion: oh ok, so how do i change the permission in the filesystem itself, so that it permanently lets me read/write/execute stuff? [20:16] is this why im getting white screen [20:16] yes [20:16] ChrizC: if you create a no folder in your terminal, not nautilus but term, like type cd /mnt and now your in /mnt/ then type sudo mkdir drive. then type like mount /dev/sda3 drive, you now have mounted that drive. [20:16] gameboy439: read the 2 man pages, they will tell you everything [20:16] QUERY judget_ [20:17] MrWes, Perhaps it's due to the fact I dual boot... good to know it is likely to work with some testing/tweaking. Thanks for your help! [20:17] Mion: oh ok, thanks a lot [20:17] judget_: Eh? [20:17] gameboy439 - sudo chmod +xrw FILE [20:17] I was trying to open a private window for a query using the bot [20:17] /query some_bot === Mr_Pink is now known as Voltron [20:17] Can anyone help me?

Whats the key combo to get it back? [20:18] Whyvas, what is that? [20:18] epaphus: restart your browser, and make sure that the path is correct, also, if you are on 64bit, you need the latest jre_beta === Optimus_Prime is now known as Mr_Orange [20:19] Mion, iam on i386, and i did restart firefox.. how do i check the path? [20:19] so i have two questions. For the record, I'm running a fresh, clean install of Ubuntu 8.10 and I updated it this morning. Out of the box, I had no sound.

I'll take a look there. [20:23] Mion, echo $MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH doesnt output anything [20:23] Mion, where can i check the path?

Background: Computer without a Network card, want to install xubuntu then do updates and install software without network. I can backup /var/cache/apt/archives and move the required deb files, but don't know how to move the database that apt uses.

But that's not the actual experience. Well, thanks for the tips, I'll see what I can figure out when I carve out some time to investigate it more. Sounds promising. [20:27] Uh... [20:27] What does Ubuntu use now that it's gotten rid of the /etc/inittab file? [20:27] ChotaZ, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [20:28] Supertanker: Upstart maybe?

[20:57] usser: yep [20:58] not sure acer aspire one [20:58] usser: I think you got it [20:58] anyone know how to make the screen lock when I close my laptop? right now it blanks, but doesn't lock, though it used to lock in older versions of Ubuntu. [20:58] i have installed sftp and a User FTP, i want that the FTP user can only wirte and read the /var/www folder. ?? [20:58] kghunt: Your issue could be produced by your drivers [20:58] usser, all done. [20:58] Aizawa: skype is not in the default install. Skype is in the medibuntu repository I think. [20:58] kghunt: are you using madwifi drivers? [20:58] I think. [20:58] sleeping143, there's a setting somewhere to set that, check preferences and i think it was either screensaver or power settings. [20:58] usser: I think cp will work, for the replacement, but... mv *_old.jpg *.jpg does not work [20:59] I've even tried the same screensaver and power management settings as I had in Gentoo, which did lock. [20:59] no [20:59] kghunt: privative drivers? [20:59] no codec's :( [20:59] kghunt: ndiswrapper? [20:59] I have the screensaver set to lock, but blanking the screen when I close it doesn't seem to behave the same way. [20:59] this is contents of /etc/network/interfaces auto lo [20:59] iface lo inet loopback [20:59] is there a channel for the WM enligthenment ? for support ? [20:59] todd, yes you're right, cp doesnt destroy the symlink, it modifies the actual file [20:59] final_frontier: didn't have the codec I needed [20:59] not ndiswrapper its a custom spin so they are in the kernel [21:00] hi, i have a need to install OpenSSL and get it working with LDAPS, i think i mostly have it figured out with the exception of installing a custom root CA, any ideas? [21:00] kghunt: is realy strange xD [21:00] i think they may even be in the main kernel by now [21:00] todd, well use cp, then rm .finished files [21:00] s3r3n1t7: If you mean the "lock screen when screensaver active", yeah, that's enabled. [21:00] dreamy: /join #freenode [21:00] usser: thats what I thought, now I have the *.old, and the *.finished [21:00] kghunt: are you using intrepid ibex? [21:00] jaunty [21:00] i have installed sftp and a User FTP, i want that the FTP user can only wirte and read the /var/www folder. ?? [21:00] todd, sigh, my head hurts :) [21:00] does anyone know if ubuntu 9.04 works well on a lenovo ideapad? [21:01] todd, you dont have symlinks anymore? [21:01] kghunt: xD [21:01] todd, do you want to recreate them? [21:01] How do you turn on the s-video tv out port on an Intel 852 GM video card? [21:01] kghunt: is 9.04? [21:01] usser: btw, there are 2,503 of these [21:01] usser: no the .old are pointing to the correct file with the bad data [21:02] todd, so use cp to copy the contents [21:02] sleeping143, and there's an option not to blank the screen but to lock it in either screen saver or power management. It's not the lock screen when screensaver is active one. [21:02] todd, then rm to remove the files you dont want anymore [21:02] usser: whats the syntax? [21:03] todd: `man rm` [21:03] todd: rm yourfile [21:03] todd: -r for recursive, -f for force [21:03] helo world [21:03] todd: if you don't know how to use a command, do `man some_command` [21:03] todd: and beware, rm removes files permanently...so use with caution. [21:03] lol thanks I know how to cp a file, its 2000+ that I have a probblem with [21:04] is this the place to get help with file system errors? [21:04] todd, find . -name *.finished.jpg -exec cp {} {}.old.jpg \; [21:04] How can I get ubuntu to recognize my sd card slot? [21:04] todd, assuming all .old.jpg files are actually symlinks that should do what you want [21:04] rogle: this is the place to get help with ubuntu [21:04] todd, backup first [21:05] sweet...wasn't sure if my posts were working...here goes. [21:05] usser: how do I back up the symlinks??? lol [21:05] todd, are they pointing out of the directory? [21:05] todd, just backup the entire directory [21:05] usser: I can just copy them right... sorry my head herts too [21:06] todd, backup the entire directory that contains this whole thing [21:06] Just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on a DELL Optiplex (two SATA drives- no RAID enabed) On reboot it tells me "filesystem seems to be readonly". It eventually comes up. I issue a 'sudo shutdown -r now' and upon reboot I get the same thing. Takes about 30 minutes to boot. Where do I start? [21:07] usser: well that went well, it did not seem to do anything but it went well [21:07] todd, try opening one of the symlinks [21:07] todd, you sure it has the old content? [21:07] is there any way to prevent auto mounting one partition on removable device when it's plugged in? [21:07] usser: I did it has the old image data [21:08] usser: one sec [21:08] todd, that command assumes one to one correspondence of .finished to .old ie each .finished file has the symlink with exact same name only ending with .old.jpg [21:08] todd, flower.finished.jpg flower.old.jpg [21:08] usser: yep 100% sure [21:09] todd, oh wait, do you have files in the dir named blabla.finished.jpg.old.jpg? [21:09] How can I get my SD card to mount? [21:09] rogle: try running gparted and see what the filesystems are. If it is read-only you should make it rw. [21:09] todd, hehe [21:10] s3r3n1t7: nothing that I can see... I checked the configuration editor to see if there's anything there, but it's nicely locked down from being changed. [21:11] sleeping143, i see. Allow me a second to see where i saw this config option. [21:11] usser: ehh sorry, its *.jpg with *_new.jpg... *.jpg being the symlinks [21:12] s3r3n1t7: I'm on 9.04 beta 64, by the way. === Spartacus_ is now known as martyr [21:12] That could make a difference in what settings we see === jackalope-in-int is now known as kvmed-jackass [21:12] sleeping143, there might be some minor differences, but this should be platform independent. [21:12] usser: find . -name *.jpg -exec cp {} {}_new.jpg \; [21:13] usser: that dies [21:13] hy [21:13] I just installed ubuntu today and never used mIRC, is this where I get ubuntu help? [21:13] todd, whoa you said .jpg are symlinks the above commands does the reverse it copies content of symlinks to the _new files [21:14] i would use a guest profil, but I don't can login with guest 'user' . [21:14] Hello, I downloaded Ubuntu but when I downloaded eclipse through Add/remove it was 3 years old! Are all packages 3 years old in ubuntu or did I just luck out on eclipse? [21:14] for f in *.jpg; do cp ${f} ${f}_new.jpg; done [21:14] Hi [21:14] I have a question [21:14] I just bought and connected an external hard drive, how do i format it? [21:14] todd, plus its incorrect anyway, it appends _new.jpg instead of replacing .jpg with _new.jpg [21:14] sadaiyappan: mkfs [21:14] hi [21:15] okay thx [21:15] sadaiyappan, do you know which filesystem you want to use? [21:15] italiani?? [21:15] s3r3n1t7: I found a setting in gconf-editor, it works now. [21:15] no [21:15] todd, you need sed to do proper string replacement, and find wont do the job, you'll need to write a script [21:15] Mion, use the gparted or qtparted software which has a grafical frontage [21:15] sleeping143, you beat me to it. I was typing the location. [21:15] if i make it ext4 will my windows computer be able to detect it? [21:15] usser: ok sorry its replace *.jpg with *_new.jpg [21:15] sadaiyappan, where will you use the disk? which OS's are going to have to support it? [21:15] G_Zoli: I'm not the one who are doing the formating, and mkfs is imo faster and easier [21:16] s3r3n1t7: thanks for the help, though. :D [21:16] usser: OMFG!!! I am doomed! [21:16] how do you install a creative x fi sound card on ubuntu? [21:16] i have two computers i want to use it on, my vista machine and my ubuntu machine [21:16] ci sono italiani? [21:16] are all the packages in ubuntu 3 years old? [21:16] sadaiyappan, windows only detects NTFS and FAT32. There are third-party add-ons to let windows read ext2/3 [21:16] usser, check your pms when you have the time to [21:16] sleeping143, np [21:16] yes [21:16] !it | luca [21:16] luca: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [21:16] ok but linux detects everything? [21:17] in that case i think i will format it to NTFS [21:17] sadaiyappan, FAT32 is natevely supported by vista and ubuntu, but it has severe limitations (file size etc). ubuntu can support NTFS, but as NTFS specs are secret it's always a best-guess implementation. [21:17] todd, i dont know much about sed myself, or scripting for that matter :) [21:17] oh === Guest18819 is now known as john [21:17] usser: why will I need sed? [21:17] ok then i guess i'll make it ext3 === john is now known as john__ [21:18] what is difference between ext4 and ext3? [21:18] ext4 ought to be better, i guess.. [21:18] hello, I have ubuntu intrepid on a lenovo laptop with intel gma video card and Xorg is sometimes using 90% of CPU, the system is slower than with previous versions of ubuntu. Do you have any advice please ? [21:18] sadaiyappan, lots of people use linux-NTFS with no problems. I'm just paranoid, so I tned to use it read-only. [21:18] sadaiyappan: accessing it as ext3 on windows is more painfully than as ntfs on linux [21:18] !who | sadaiyappan [21:18] sadaiyappan: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:18] todd, to replace _new.jpg with .jpg, [21:18] todd, in the filenames [21:18] !ext4 | sadaiyappan [21:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 [21:18] usser: so? [21:18] sprinkmeier: ntfs-3g is stable enough for everyday usage [21:18] ikonia, *shrugs* hi lol [21:18] ok so NTFS or ext4? [21:19] todd, so, you'll need it. and i dont think you can combine sed with find === john__ is now known as john8604 [21:19] sadaiyappan, ext3 is ext2 with journalling (better crash recovery). ext4 is ext3 with extents (better large file handling). that's it in a $0.02 nut-shell [21:19] ok i guess i'll use ext4 [21:19] sadaiyappan: if you want to access it from windows, ntfs, if not, ext3 or ext4 [21:19] how do i block all open ports with the iptables [21:19] since my ubuntu is my main machine [21:19] usser: OK what if I rename the files first??? [21:19] sadaiyappan, as Mion and many others say, NTFS should be fine. I don't know if ext4 has been ported to windows yet. [21:19] ok [21:20] ZeroKewl, you set the default policy to deny. However, please note this will also cut you off from internet access. [21:20] ok NTFS then [21:20] usser: I dont care about the symlinks outside of the actual files are all over the place [21:20] mkfs NTFS ? [21:20] ZeroKewl: try #iptables ;) [21:20] Mion: is ntfs3g secure ? [21:20] todd, to what? you want to rename your symlinks? [21:20] Paxt: is ntfs secure? no [21:20] sadaiyappan, better to format it form a windows machine. [21:20] Mion: why isnt it ? [21:20] usser give me a minute this may be in my wheelhouse === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [21:21] i used prevu to put in some jaunty packages on my ibex system; how can i undo that and revert to the ibex packages? [21:21] todd, something like _new.jpg_symlink should work, in this case you just append stuff to the original filename which is trivial [21:21] Paxt: what has a filesystem to do with secure..isn't that a user/machine thing? [21:21] Paxt: depends on your defenition of security [21:21] Paxt, secure == secret or secure == reliable? [21:21] oh ok [21:21] I am running ubuntu on a computer i built myself with a creative x fi blaster sound card, how do I install it? [21:21] usser: thats exactly what I was thinking!!! lol [21:21] /msg Ikonia hi [21:21] sadaiyappan, you could partition the drive and use multiple FS's. Some people set up a FAT32 to share and then native partitions. [21:22] john8604: there are no good drivers for the card yet, because creative decided to play assholes, but oss4 is probably your best bet [21:22] Mion, Jeruvy, sprinkmeier: Secure is always what a program intended to do from the start. In this case i assert it should be utmost secure [21:22] john8604: I usually open the case and plug the card in, but I think you meant something else? [21:22] usser: find . -name *_new.jpg -exec ren {} {}.new.jpg_l \; [21:22] thank you mion [21:22] Paxt: does not make sence [21:22] usser: hows that look? [21:22] sprinkmeier: reliable is required [21:22] ok [21:22] Paxt: and that does not make any sense, perhaps you are not understanding what 'secure' means. [21:22] Mion: you do ? :) [21:22] im going beta baby [21:22] lol === usr1 is now known as ubuntu_is_a_poke [21:22] todd, ehm is that your renaming? === ubuntu_ is now known as bluenzo [21:22] is windows XP fat32 or NTFS? [21:23] Paxt: security = resistance to attacks [21:23] Jeruvy: Give me your credentials then ;) [21:23] i only have xp [21:23] sadaiyappan: ntfs [21:23] should be NTFS [21:23] sadaiyappan: you do NOT want fat32 [21:23] usser: yea, what is there a better way? [21:23] most likely [21:23] ok then i'll format from my windows macine [21:23] thx [21:23] Mion: youre an architect i guess ? [21:23] Most flash drives are FAT32 :P [21:23] sadaiyappan: it probably are ntfs already [21:23] good luck getting the beta to download with more than 40kb/s speeds the servers are hammered right now [21:23] Paxt: they have nothing to do with you not understanding secure === ubuntu_is_a_poke is now known as _\ [21:23] todd, you said your symlinks end in *.jpg not in _new.jpg [21:23] Paxt, NTFS has ACL's, as does ext2/3/4, XFS etc... wwether that's secure or not depends on the OS that's mounting the data. NTFS has transparent encryption which can also enhance security, depending on how yoy do your key management. [21:23] how can i download vids from video.aol.com (youtube like stuff). ive tried downloadhelper plugin in firefox no go, also the youtube-dl script from shell no go.. === _\ is now known as MQZ [21:24] Jeruvy: Have you coded or designed any program code yourself ? [21:24] Paxt: no. but that statement is true for physical structural design too [21:24] as well as for software [21:24] Paxt: how will that help you understand a definition of a word? ;) [21:24] usser: ok give me a minute... I'll see if I can make this make more sense, and easier [21:24] secureity and reliability is more or less not related at all [21:24] sprinkmeier: So, in making or using a bad filesystem you agree that any system is a bad one ? [21:25] there are really secure systems that have horrible reliability, and vica verca [21:25] Jeruvy: Simply because i like to take part in designing these filesystems [21:25] Yeah, Linux is one of them when you use SELinux and the wrong type of filesystem [21:25] !ot [21:25] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:25] Paxt: ah, so what does that mean. You realize this is a support channel and not a debating forum :) [21:25] Jeruvy: Media on the other hand likes to call me "Dead" whatever that means ;) [21:25] anyone ? any fixes for Xorg using 90% of CPU [21:25] ? [21:26] Paxt, they're all different. whether they're good or bad depends mostly on the environment they're used in. FAT is a terrible FS for security, but it's fantastic for digital cameras. [21:26] alexmart: compi? [21:26] alexmart: compiz? [21:26] alexmart: what drivers are you using? [21:26] Jeruvy: hush if you please [21:26] iceroot i've uninstalled compiz [21:26] alexmart: and do you have desktop effects enabled? [21:26] Paxt: get on topic [21:26] todd, ok to rename symlinks to _new.jpg_l use this find . -type l -exec mv {} {}_l \; [21:26] sprinkmeier: Its just used more widely [21:26] Geek`N`Proud: no desktop effects enab;ed [21:27] Jeruvy: Know what you speak about first [21:27] todd, -type l matches all symlinks inside of a directory. [21:27] alexmart: okay good, what drivers are you currently using? [21:27] todd, but leaves alone the regular files [21:27] Jeruvy: please [21:28] Paxt: #ubuntu-offtopic is actually well populated and talks about the merits of filesystems a lot [21:28] so it's not such a bad idea in reality [21:28] merits of filesystems? disadvantages more like ;-) [21:28] back back [21:28] Geek`N`Proud: I don't know.. [21:28] I often moan about Ext4 and how it munched my data in there [21:28] ussers, did I get the 32b or 64b version of ubuntu? [21:28] Geek`N`Proud: You are making great contributions ? .. maybe you should go there and lighten the place up with your mannors ? [21:29] usser: OK COOL! I now have a bunch of symlinks called *.jpg_l and a bunch of regular files called *_new.jpg!!!! [21:29] ChotaZ, i don't know which one you downloaded? either way install flashplugin-nonfree should take care of it [21:29] ChotaZ: dpkg --print-architecture [21:29] thanks [21:29] alexmart: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep driver | grep Loading [21:29] if I installed kubuntu 64b i should get w64codecs right? [21:29] alexmart: run that in a terminal and paste the line it gives you in here =] [21:29] ChotaZ: uname -m [21:30] usser: is that easier to work with?? [21:30] ChotaZ: non-free-codecs will pull the right package, w32codecs or w64codecs [21:30] todd, ah bummer, so symlinks dont have _new in them eh? [21:30] ChotaZ: yes ideally, but you can also want a copy of w32codecs installed inside of /usr/lib32/codecs for Kaffeine to work properly [21:31] todd, so whats the correspondence between them? can you givee me an example? [21:31] s/can also/also [21:31] Geek [21:31] thing is i got back to pure gnome [21:31] and was wondering if the would change the bits of the OS is working on [21:31] Geek`N`Proud: (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so [21:31] does anyone know how I can troubleshoot acpid? Currently acpi events don't work unless I restart acpid after the computer starts up. [21:31] ChotaZ: no it won't [21:31] ChotaZ: nope, have to reinstall [21:31] alexmart: you are using the intel drivers =] [21:31] ok then, i'll get both w32codecs and w64 codecs [21:32] Geek`N`Proud: that's what I have, an intel gma [21:32] (bad idea), besides, you can't [21:32] ChotaZ, just run uname -a to find out what version of ubuntu you're running, 32 or 64 bit [21:32] hello [21:32] alexmart: does it use a lot of CPU constantly? or only when you drag windows across the screen? [21:32] usser: OK example I have 1959Survival_new.jpg and 1959Survival.jpg_l the _l is the link [21:32] what's a good ftp/scp client with norton-like interface for ubuntu/kubuntu ? [21:33] EvaLuaTe, filezilla [21:33] EvaLuaTe: no idea what norton has for an interface but gftp works well [21:33] how can i download vids from video.aol.com (youtube like stuff). ive tried downloadhelper plugin in firefox no go, also the youtube-dl script from shell no go.. [21:33] i did, i'm running amd64 v =D [21:33] s3r3n1t7, Geek`N`Proud: thanks guys =) [21:33] todd, nah you still need sed im afraid. you have to pull that _new out of there [21:33] EvaLuaTe, gftp [21:34] alexmart: so is the high CPU usage constant even if the desktop is left 100% still with no mouse pointer moving? [21:34] Geek`N`Proud: FileZilla is very good atm, its in the lead on the client side [21:34] usser: if i open a file from the remote for editing and save it, does it get automatically uploaded in gftp? [21:34] usser: why cant we just treat them as "_new.jpg" files and ".jpg_l" files? [21:35] EvaLuaTe: yes it can [21:35] Geek`N`Proud: But very bad taste in gui toolkits, because gtk+ rules [21:35] EvaLuaTe, yea [21:35] cool [21:35] how can i force removal of a program but not all of its dependencies? [21:35] usser, what was the name of the music player again? [21:35] Geek`N`Proud: usually sits at about 15% and when I drag windows accross the screen it can go to 99% [21:35] EvaLuaTe: if you just want to edit files on FTP, GNOME's built in support works better for that [21:35] usser: its now *_new.jpg and *.jpg_l [21:35] EvaLuaTe, yes both can. [21:35] todd, see appending stuff is easy, it would have been easy if your files were named blahblah_new.jpg and your symlinks blahblah_new.jpg_l [21:35] usser: right? [21:35] Geek`N`Proud: i actually have kubuntu, not ubuntu =) [21:36] syntac: removing a program won't remove its dependencies, it's the other way arond [21:36] usser: ok so 2 more rounds of rename? [21:36] EvaLuaTe: in that case Konqueror works well for that too.. even better than GNOME's support [21:36] Instead of python,perl,gtk+,tcl,other things maybe we should standardize on c/c++/glib for base codings and gtk+ for guis ? ... I think that would be very bright [21:36] kyncani, that depends on the program used. Aptitude auto removes all the dependencies if no other program depends on it. Apt gives you the option to do so. [21:37] hmm, let's see [21:37] That way we would have C/C++ all the way [21:37] Paxt: GTK is not very stable between versions.. Qt is a better piece of kit for standardising on [21:37] usser: there isnt a way to change the extension on a bunch of files? [21:37] Paxt, program language choices are made per programmer and per job, you can't just make a standard out of a single language because there is no single language best for every job. [21:37] also, could you recommend a lightweight text editor with syntax highlighting for web editors and maybe auto-indenting? [21:37] Geek`N`Proud: Oh, i thought QT was for the less code savvy... do we really want that lameness ? [21:37] Geek`N`Proud: if firefox isn't running, and everything is still it fluctuates between 3 and 10% [21:38] !offtopic | Paxt s3r3n1t7, please [21:38] Paxt s3r3n1t7, please: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:38] todd, hang on [21:38] s3r3n1t7: but... you dont know my capabilities do you ? [21:38] kyncani: i'm trying to downgrade my version of libasound2 but it won't let me remove it unless i remove a slew of other programs that i don't want to [21:38] Paxt, that's irrelevant to this topic. Please, let us continue this discussion in offtopic. [21:38] usser: I can smell a solution man! thanks allot you are saveing my hide! [21:38] is there a program sort of like that of dreamweaver that when you click on a section of code it shows you in the detailed view where you are at? [21:39] s3r3n1t7: not really [21:39] does anyone know how I can troubleshoot acpid? Currently acpi events don't work unless I restart acpid after the computer starts up. [21:40] anybody able to gimme a hand with a little problem im having with vlc? [21:40] What happened to the netboot.iso ? [21:40] for Ubuntu is there a program sort of like that of dreamweaver that when you click on a section of code it shows you in the detailed view where you are at? [21:40] todd, here try running this script http://pastebin.com/f5276f89 [21:40] syntac: yeah, downgrading is generally a very bad idea, that leads from bad to worse situations [21:40] todd, on a single file [21:40] kyncani: i didn't alter any of the files that depend on this though [21:41] todd, ./copy blahblah_new.jpg [21:41] todd, have you tried the rename utility? [21:41] daniel1: What's your issue ? [21:41] todd, is the syntax, it strips out _new and add _l to the end of the file then copies it to that new name [21:41] s3r3n1t7: how are the neichterlands nowdays, still whacky as always ? ;) [21:41] daniel1: just ask if anyone can help they will. [21:41] syntac: yeah, but chances are that programs that depends on it won't work (bad version numbers, missing symbols, ...) [21:42] todd, see if it works for a single file, also as im not very good at scripting it will most likely fail if it encounters some weirdly named files ie with spaces in them etc [21:42] Geek`N`Proud: i can't seem to find the possibility to connect to a ftp server in konqueror, could you please give me a hint? [21:42] hello! [21:42] hey t1ger. just updated to intrepid ibex and im having trouble watching movies. the movies constantly flicker [21:42] damn it! [21:42] todd, what? [21:42] soo close! [21:42] Paxt, please don't write netherlands that way. It is offensive to me. And please stick with the offtopic channel. [21:42] cp: target `Marinus.jpg_l' is not a directory [21:43] kyncani: so i'm better off reinstalling my entire system? [21:43] GF Chatting... hehe...go.... [21:43] daniel1: Do it work with totem ? Have an look at the pref and try "XV" as output for gfx. [21:43] s3r3n1t7: Where you from in the lando systems ? [21:43] usser, todd it looks like "rename 's/\_new$/_l/' *.new" should do what you want [21:44] daniel1: Also, tell us about what gfx card you have. (ati/intel/nvidia) [21:44] syntac: I don't know your specific situations, but you're better off a) living with it b) looking for a repo (ppa, other) for your specific problem c) upgrading to jaunty d) reinstalling [21:44] usser, todd oops... "rename 's/\_new$/_l/' *_new" [21:44] yeah, same happens with totem and mplayer [21:44] kyncani: how do i go about upgrading to jaunty? [21:44] whats the easiest way to create a custom usplash? [21:44] someone can help me?? my english is very bad and i have a problem with my webcam on intrepid ibex... [21:45] Anyone know where the netboot folders are ? [21:45] syntac: first, try jaunty's livecd. If it works, then come back. [21:45] kyncani: alright, thanks for your help! [21:45] np [21:45] Geek`N`Proud: you still there ? [21:45] Daniel1: I guess it could be an Vsynch issue ? What driver do you use in Xorg ? FLicker as in blink blink or tearing ? [21:45] sprinkmeier: nope Can't rename *_new *_l: No such file or directory [21:45] s3r3n1t7: Be nice now [21:45] Where do VW server 2 store the guest OS in ubuntu ? [21:45] flicker as in blink blink [21:46] How did I offend you? [21:46] not sure what driver i use [21:46] kyncani: one last question, if i live with this problem until jaunty officially releases (as opposed to instalilng it now in testing), will the upgrade be smoother? [21:46] someone can help me?? my english is very bad and i have a problem with my webcam on intrepid ibex... [21:46] todd, hm, it works here when copying files are you trying to copy directory? [21:46] syntac: yep, because more bugs will be resolved when jaunty is released [21:46] daniel1: Do you know if it's an Intel/Ati or Nvidia card ? [21:46] todd, it's a perl utility [21:47] * DigitalKiwi thinks someone has some issues if they could be offended by the way someone spells their countries name on an -wait for it- IRC channel [21:47] s3r3n1t7: Dont wanna chat with my gf ? [21:47] Paxt, please stop putting my name in front of sentences. Stick with this channel's topic. [21:48] OK I got 160Movie_new.jpg no dirs, and execing.... rename 's/\_new$/_l/' *_new [21:48] its an ati card. radeon x1400. strange thing is when i play a game, say something like torcs, which would be a bit heavier on the card than a video, it works fine [21:48] todd, can't find the package that installed it ATM. [21:48] s3r3n1t7: how are you today. Bad weather here... snowing [21:48] s3r3n1t7: how else would he make sure you know he's talking to you? [21:48] lrn2irc [21:49] Jeruvy, There is nothing in gparted that says anything is read only. Is there somewhere specific I look in gparted to find that? [21:49] sprinkmeier: no it is saying Can't rename *_new *_l: No such file or directory not cant fint ppackage, or command not found :-) [21:49] todd: rename -n 's/_new\.jpg$/_l.jpg/' *_new.jpg maybe ? [21:49] Can anyone say whether or not file permissions are still used on fat32 formatted external drives? [21:50] rogle: no, just wondered what filesystem, did you chmod anything? [21:50] Mark_Jones: they(re not [21:50] DigitalKiwi: please follow a dialogue before commenting, your lrn2irc was quite unnecessary [21:50] alexmart: am now [21:50] cool thank you [21:50] usser: what was the name of the music player again? === trin is now known as trinidadflores [21:50] rogle: or mount it as read-only?

[22:04] ok i got it thx [22:04] ubuntu is new windows 7? === encore is now known as icebreacker [22:04] sadaiyappan: to see what is mounted where, rather. Sometimes you want to know the /dev/ node.

[22:08] ok [22:08] how do i change that [22:08] bluenzo: have you booted? if so you should be able to get into grub from terminal and then do setup [22:08] sadaiyappan: ls -al should give you some insight in the current permissions. [22:08] sadaiyappan-> it's a catch 22 [22:08] Jeruvy, im not sure which HDD to do "setup" on, i have 4 HDDs, one is vista, one is ubuntu, one is data, one is empty [22:09] todd, thats weird. try find . -name *_new.jpg -exec bash bla.sh {} \; [22:09] arrgh, yes i did ls -al [22:09] now what do i do [22:09] sadaiyappan: look at the output. [22:09] Ok, well everything is fine for the most part when I start up with no external monitor. I just have a black overlay so that my screen is 1600x1200 instead of 1920x1200 [22:09] How do I get that black area to go away? [22:09] sadaiyappan: does it say root ?

[22:10] bluenzo: probably the primary master [22:10] sadaiyappan: It's probably not so wise to just put stuff in there. [22:10] ok [22:11] bluenzo: which would be disk 0 [22:11] on the hard drive? [22:11] so how do i make it so i can move folders on to the drive? [22:11] virtuald, i tried (hd0) and ikonia said thats not right [22:11] horatio: you just boot from the CD [22:11] bluenzo: you should have a partition number too [22:12] sadaiyappan: ah , you mounted an external hard-drive? [22:12] never mind i unplugged it and plugged it back in [22:12] now its working [22:12] virtuald, (hd0,0) [22:12] todd, hm it works here [22:13] sadaiyappan: Life can be that easy. :P [22:13] is chmod 777 safe? [22:13] bluenzo: it will be a primary partition, maybe gparted will tell you, oh I see you got it :) [22:13] sadaiyappan: depends , but in general: not really. [22:13] usser: I am doing... find . -name *_new.jpg -exec bash bla.sh {} \; [22:13] sadaiyappan, define safe. [22:13] i guess its safe i won't be storing anything important on it [22:14] todd, try this find -name "*_new.jpg" -exec bash bla.sh {} \; [22:14] Jeruvy, i dunno this is all confusing to me lol [22:14] usser: running... [22:14] what is the lost+found folder? [22:14] bluenzo: hehe I hear that, go slowly :) [22:15] todd, cool, i hope you have a backup [22:15] Jeruvy, ive been on ubuntu for like 3 days, really tho i dunno what im doing lol [22:15] sadaiyappan: when the system does file system checks, if it finds fragments of files that it thinks might be important, it puts them there so you can look at them. === sale_ is now known as sale [22:15] usser: running... keep your fingers crossed [22:15] anyone experience with ubuntu on a laptop installing ?

[22:16] rtype: just comment it out [22:16] s3r3n1t7, because i configured my 'wired connection 1' as i needed to [22:16] todd, god my scripting is rusty, it shouldn't take 2 hours for something that simple [22:16] PhotoJim do you know why I got a the line prior to install it ? [22:17] rtypo, we're talking about network-manager here right? [22:17] seems like a commandrule needs to be entered. [22:17] horatio: why you got what line? [22:17] i am working with a mythbuntu install of xubuntu and a siig soundwave 5.1 soundcard but I have no sound at all, aplay -l detects the card as "ICE1724 [22:17] s3r3n1t7, yes. umm, i think it was resetting itself at each restart [22:17] horatio: did you try just hitting enter and letting it go? [22:17] bluenzo: So how did you end up having to manually configure grub? Thats not something you normally have to do with an ubuntu install.

[22:17] guys, amarok says it can't play flac file [22:18] I have a fresh ubuntu install [22:18] !codecs [22:18] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [22:18] usser: cool!!! [22:18] bruenig: thx [22:18] todd, did it work? [22:18] jklock, where should i comment it out from ? [22:18] PhotoJim enter will not work [22:18] rtypo, i havent seen it reset itself. However, if there is a dhcp server on the network i think it will default to the auto eth0 profile instead of the one you created. This profile should also be in the network configuration tool. [22:19] horatio: I'm not sure then, sorry. [22:19] usser: yep, I need to get the links renammed bat without the _l and remove the origionals! [22:19] s3r3n1t7, i don't have dhcp enabled on the network [22:20] todd, we didnt need to rename the links in the first place as it turned out heh. [22:20] s3r3n1t7, i will try to configure that Auto eth0 again, and see what happens after restart [22:20] todd, just modify the script to strip _l from the filename and run it with find . -type l [22:20] rtypo, then it should skip the eth0 profile. You may be right that it will reset that profile. Try to create a new profile with your custom settings. [22:21] is there any linux game like Micro Machines, where you see the cars from above? [22:21] When I am installing from a live version on this laptop it ends up with (initramfs) ^@ [22:21] then a commandorule follows [22:21] todd, something like that http://pastebin.com/f1d5c80b7 [22:21] usser: Naw I want all gheto! I copied from the back up and removed the *_l, *_new.jpg and the *.finished [22:22] s3r3n1t7, i did! i have "Wired connection 1" for example. At startup, it waits 10 seconds or so, and then it connects to my custom profile, i guess it's because that "Auto eth0" [22:22] and i don't like that delay at all [22:22] usser: oops went...

Idea would be to get it like Putty does for windows [22:57] and a ms sql server 2005 database [22:57] Pointer_22: there is a PuTTy package for Ubuntu, if that helps... [22:57] tehm0nk: otherwise your info will get lost in all the other messages in the channel.

[23:18] <_Whipper> toni_m: like: www.google.com: blaahblaa [23:18] can someone help me out with my video card [23:18] second (and hopefully last) question of the evening. I have Ubuntu set up but not ubuntu studio. can I get the studio items from aptitude or do I need to download them somewhere, or should I overwite my ubuntu install with an install of studio [23:18] whipper: :) [23:18] _Whipper: what i need to install....

[23:19] here4thegear: may be a good place to start [23:19] <_Whipper> Anyone got solutions for Toni? [23:19] I'm trying to auto-auth on quakenet, apparently irchelper has support for this, but I can't open the config [23:19] ChotaZ: You should already have PA... I don't see how you can install it... you need to configure teamspeak properly, most likely. But like I said, I haven't worked with teamspeak before to guide you [23:20] anyone got a solution for me please?? my laptop.. model no.. ps140e-03csr-gk toshiba satellite.. [23:20] hi all [23:20] cool jklock thanks... [23:20] Woot! Installing Ubuntu for the first time :) [23:20] _Whipper: ??? [23:20] webcamwonder, if I open mplayer first, teamspeak will automute my speaker and microphone, if I open teamspeak first, I can talk to people and listen to them, but if I open mplayer after it freezes and i need to pkill it.

[23:21] I'm converting a local hard disk over from FAT32 to EXT3...besides changing its information in /etc/fstab, will I need to do anything else?

[23:22] yes [23:22] thank you [23:22] np [23:22] ChotaZ: Yeah, that would be the expected behaviour. You can confirm that teamspeak is blocking your soundcard, by running mplayer in terminal, and it will say that it cannot connec to to your sound server. But, like I am saying the third time, i cannot help you [23:22] how do you restart X? [23:23] toni_m: I don't know. I haven't worked with Trident cards before. I just did the googling for you :p [23:23] J_Litewski, Ctrl+Alt+F7 [23:23] Anyone that uses TeamSpeak?

[23:45] bluenzo: ya that doesn't matter supergrub disk is able to assmble all that it finds bootable into a proper boot menu [23:45] eTranquility: if it doesn't get the JDK automatically with it, repeat the command but with sun-java6-jre instead of sun-java6-jdk [23:45] jklock: I dont have creative soundcard [23:45] valentin__-> hmm, have you changed your password for your user? [23:45] oops [23:45] remoteCTRL ok, can i run that on windows? or do i have to go to cd-live, im on vista right now [23:45] eTranquility: I meant the JRE not JDK in that last sentence [23:45] valentin__-> change it back [23:45] graingert: no its a server so i turned autologin on [23:45] WebcamWonder?? [23:46] bluenzo: you need to burn that .iso onto a cd and boot that cd [23:46] toni_m: displayconfig-gtk has been removed from Interpid. Great [23:46] Esvandiary: Thanks! I'll see if that works. For some reason I thought I already had it installed. [23:46] valentin__-> maybe that is it, disable autologin [23:46] valentin__-> to see if it goes, if it does then file a bug [23:46] <_Whipper> oh well.. there went my *buntu.. desktop just rolled over and dropped head-first.. [23:46] Chotaz: okay. do you have a HS-1000? [23:46] jklock: yes. [23:46] remoteCTRL, so if i boot that CD, i can fix the boot stuff? for my two OS's ? [23:46] ok.

[23:49] valentin__-> file a bug [23:49] could this help me? [23:49] for solving my problem. [23:49] graingert: can wifi password be stored in a different place than keyring? [23:50] toni_m: may i help you? [23:50] jklock: I already went to creative's website but they only have drivers for windows. [23:50] Chotaz: yeah I know :( sucks. [23:50] remoteCTRL: i cant fix my screen resultation my driver is trident.. [23:50] toni_m: requires some steps but is doable [23:50] im using laptop [23:50] why would xorg.conf be 0 bytes? [23:50] valentin__-> probably not, may I recomend that a server is wired in [23:50] Esvandiary: Okay, I installed the jre but Eclipse doesn't see it, still have 1.5 as the only JRE there. As for how it got there, I'm sure I probably broke it myself somehow, lol. So I guess I have to manually add the JRE? Where can I find it? [23:50] I am starting to get upset with this version of Ubuntu...Dunno if it is the new hardware or what but I've never had this much trouble with sound on my other system... Though this system is using an onboard soundcard while the old box has an old audigy which doesn't seem to be supported anymore. [23:50] remoteCTRL: how can you help me please? [23:50] toni_m: trident? i thought nvidia? [23:51] graingert: wireing is not possible [23:51] valentin__-> how so? [23:51] ok eTranquility, my suspicion is that both 1.5 and 1.6 are somehow installed [23:51] graingert: that doesnt matter :-) [23:51] valentin__-> ethernet over power is a good idea; unless you are stealing wifi [23:51] Esvandiary: So uninstall 1.5? [23:51] Chotaz: ive been reading through this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843012&highlight=usb+headphones it might be good for future learning, also is useful to you right now. [23:52] eTranquility: type "sudo update-alternatives --list java" [23:52] graingert: interesting idea .. over power .. but expensive === Ubuntunub is now known as b419kid [23:52] valentin__-> not too much methinks... [23:52] eTranquility: that should give you a list of all programs with the name "java" (only one of which can be the "main" one at a time) [23:52] valentin__-> just two addaptors, no? [23:52] Chotaz: from what I am reading you will have to work a little with pulseaudio [23:52] Q: Does anyone know how the creative X-Fi drivers for linux are coming along? Eta any info ect? [23:52] eTranquility: hopefully 1.6 should be in that list, but I assume it isn't the main one [23:52] Hello, can any one tell me a program that i can use on ubuntu 8.10 to control a windows xp computer (remote control desktop)? [23:52] toni_m: keep it in the main channel please so that others can also learn [23:53] jklock: where's pulseaudio and how can I work with it? [23:53] graingert: as i own a wifi card and it is installed ... so why not use this one [23:53] toni_m: ok first thing we need to do is find out what resolutions that card supports [23:53] Esvandiary: http://paste.ubuntu.com/139255/ [23:53] toni_m: gimme a sec please [23:53] Chotaz: I am working on directions for you as I figure them out :) [23:53] jklock: oh k thanks [23:53] Hello, can any one tell me a program that i can use on ubuntu 8.10 to control a windows xp computer (remote control desktop)? [23:53] valentin__-> just wifi is not very, reliable - servers are required for reliability :-p [23:53] ill give you 2 :) [23:54] b419kid-> rdesktop [23:54] ouch, both GCJ and OpenJDK... right [23:54] b419kid-> vnc, vinagre etc [23:54] graingert: its my livingroom server :_) [23:54] b419kid-> loads of 'em [23:54] graingert: redesktop, (sudo apt-get install rdesktop) ? [23:54] eTranquility: first off let's get rid of OpenJDK, if this is for a school/uni assignment they'll probably want the Sun JDK/JRE === Guest3174 is now known as valberg [23:54] b419kid-> pretty much [23:54] <|PaperTiger|> How do I install ATi Catalyst Control Centre? [23:54] b419kid-> they are 10 a penny [23:54] graingert: what do i need to install on that windows xp computer? [23:54] eTranquility: run "sudo apt-get remove openjdk-*" [23:55] toni_m: i got this for you: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/screen-resolution-too-low-713481/ [23:55] eTranquility: that should get rid of anything OpenJDK-related [23:55] b419kid-> it should all be there, you just need to enable it [23:55] graingert: 10 a penny what does that mean? [23:55] remoteCTRL: ill check it a sec [23:55] toni_m: sure [23:55] Esvandiary: I'm sure I just got a little install happy one day, lol, OpenJDK shouldn't be there. xD [23:55] b419kid-> luck foads of them [23:55] I think I have messed up my apt stuff, I chrooted ubuntu from another disto and didn't mount proc dev and sys, so things are uninstalling right, how do I repair this? [23:55] eTranquility: then run "sudo apt-get remove gcj-*" [23:55] Chotaz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=997506 [23:55] eTranquility: that should leave you with just the Sun JDK and hopefully just the Sun JRE too [23:55] Chotaz: should solve your problems [23:56] graingert: i don't understand [23:56] eTranquility: it's possible that it won't automatically put the Sun JDK/JRE back as the main ones though, so we might have to do that manually [23:56] b419kid-> lots [23:56] b419kid-> it means lots [23:56] jklock: ill follow it stepbystep and will report results later, brb [23:56] graingert: lots what? (type "b419kid: messagehere" to send a message to me [23:56] toni_m: see that line with Modes "1024x768" in it? you can change that to for example: Modes "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024" [23:56] Chotaz: okay [23:57] b419kid-> http://www.microsoft.com/windowsXp/using/mobility/getstarted/Remoteintro.mspx [23:57] Some keys on my keyboard require a space or a letter to print. How can I change that? I just want it to print the naked char. [23:57] b419kid-> 10 a penny means lots [23:57] Esvandiary: I see 1.6 in Eclipse's JREs now, does that mean it's set? [23:57] toni_m: after that you need tor estart your x-server by pressing ctrl+alt+backspace, and after that you should be able to pick other resolutions from within the resolution menu [23:57] examples are: ^" and ` [23:57] eTranquility: in that case it's probably fine; just to make sure, run "java -version" [23:58] I did a full system update with apt-get update but since the /proc/ /sys/ and /dev/ we not mounted It couldn't write to /var/cache/apt [23:58] eTranquility: as long as it's 1.6.something and doesn't mention OpenJDK or something, you're fine :P [23:58] jklock: from all the packages listed, i marked then some for isntallation and the ones i already had for reinstallation, just to make sure. [23:58] i'm using Hardy [23:58] Chotaz: thats fine. [23:58] Esvandiary: Thanks mate, I guess I'm all set to go then. =D [23:58] is there something like a systemwide equalizer? i am getting way to much bass here [23:58] 1321 people wow [23:58] eTranquility: good luck with the project :) [23:58] never see so many users in a single channel [23:59] chrome_: tell me about it, irssi listed them all when I joined O_O [23:59] exept for enemyterritory channel in quakenet but that would be offtopic then... [23:59] Esvandiary: :P [23:59] hello i want help please, i have kubuntu but i restarted and now, i have gnome version. whats happened? i guess is compiz
