[00:00] i got ubuntu last night [00:00] j/ #xubuntu [00:00] lol [00:00] after deleting windows by mistake [00:00] eTranquility_: Later on I found that there were certain function key combinatiions that would convert it into that mode (usually used with projectors, so that's a good google term to add to your search). [00:00] puff, I got that for a little while but when Ubuntu booted it switched to my laptop screen and my external monitor is blank. It doesn't seem to detect the external monitor in screen resolutions. [00:01] Patg7590: Well obviously "xorg.conf.backup" was just an example, you have ot use the actual path and filename for oyur backup file. Where did you drag and drop your backup file to? [00:01] Got an error that "reinstall" isn't a valid command [00:01] Why does firebox always start in full scren mode? [00:01] eTranquility_: I suspect that the answer will be dependent on your particular hardware, is all I can see. [00:01] puff: the desktop-I feel like an idiot this is so simple and should be so easy [00:01] eTranquility_: Er, all I can say. === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [00:01] Patg7590: Eh, don't be too hard on yourself, switching gears for the first time can take some getting used to. [00:02] Patg7590: It's a paradigm shift in the truest sense of the word. The old paradigm - the mental model of the interface that oyu've built up through experience - no longer applies, so your intuition is mis-educated. You have to internalize the new paradigm. No big deal. [00:02] Patg7590: Okay, what filename did you give the backup file on your desktop? [00:03] i have a fujitsu 5010 and i'm trying to get the tablet functionality to work - does anyone here know where i could find a step-by-step tytiruak [00:03] puff: i didnt. I just copy and pasted it to the desktop [00:03] Grrrr... [00:03] I'm getting close to saving my databases, wiping the partition, and updating to Jaunty [00:03] puff: its called xorg.conf just like the broken one in etc/x11 [00:03] Patg7590: Okay, os it should be xorg.conf on your desktop. Check on it with this: "ls -l ~/Desktop/xorg.conf" [00:04] Patg7590: If that shows you the file, then "sudo cp ~/Desktop/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf" [00:04] *tutorial on how to enable wacom support [00:04] puff: it gave me a greater than sign [00:04] Patg7590: Hrm [00:04] Patg7590: pastebin it.

[00:06] lstarnes: That's cool, they're improving then. [00:07] Patg7590: That > means that the command line is waiting for you to enter the rest of the command. This is because you had a quote at the end of your command, but only one quote, so it's waiting for you to type the contents of the quote and then close it. [00:08] Patg7590: Type a second quote " and hit enter. or just hit ctrl-c. [00:08] puff *facesmack* [00:08] Patg7590: It's a mistake folks make all the time. [00:09] Patg7590: Well, not *all* the time (or it would have been changed to prevent that) but frequently enough that it's not a huge surprise. [00:09] hi anyone know about 'kernel alive' lock?

[00:13] puff, prince_jammys: I was waiting for some kind of confirmastion or something....

Where can I find it? [00:22] fbc : use apt-get [00:23] fbc: the package name is tspc or what ever [00:23] I'm running kde, qsynaptics isn't available.

[00:25] puff: yes many many times- after every edit- the display was fine when i installed on a nice flat panel but now im on this old crt [00:25] PatrickGleason: Maybe it was at 800x600 because that was the default when you installed it, but then you messed up xorg.conf, but after you restored xorg.conf and restarted, xorg found the higher resolution [00:25] PatrickGleason: Okay, I guess that's not the explanation then :-) [00:25] Can someone please point me in the right direction for a good tutorial on Netatalk please. I have Googled and and none of them are really up to date [00:25] puff: what can i do to make sure this survices reboots [00:25] fbc: you could like check all possible packages related to this particular one from synaptic and manually remove them using apt-get [00:25] survives*** [00:25] how would i go about getting Gnome 2.26 going on Ubuntu 8.04 ; including all the nautilus, evolution, etc updates ?

[02:03] glitsj16: will it use that ext5 thats extrmemly fast?

[02:11] JorgeJorgesson, it will look through $PATH, I think [02:11] Thanks digitalchimist [02:11] PhotoJim: that makes sense. though, im running on a shoddy old Dell Dimension 8200 [02:11] Kevdog: really haven't branched out as much on terminals as I have on other stuff (like script IDEs and such) [02:11] P4 1.6 Ghz and 256 meg of RDram [02:11] I will try === Thecks is now known as Thecks[away] [02:11] does it matter which version I install ? [02:11] @ivair: no problem [02:11] Hobz: Thanks. Worked perfectly [02:12] Iceman_B^Ltop: the shoddier, the more you don't want to run a GUI. :) my about-to-be-retired server was a modest PII-333 with 768 MB of RAM, but would have easily run ok with 256M of RAM. no GUI though. [02:12] okay [02:12] np [02:12] Iceman_B^Ltop: depends on what you want to do and how much traffic it will handle, of course. but a modest machine can do a lot if you don't saddle it with handling a GUI. [02:12] okay [02:12] he says he already joined #ubuntu-br but it brought him to #ubuntu [02:12] then I'll try a server isntall this time [02:12] Hi , how do I moint my external HD? [02:12] finally, can I install it from the network(internet) ? [02:13] well, I"M in #ubuntu-br [02:13] Why is Ubuntu so popular? [02:13] is it by design that the amd64 disc will not boot in a core2duo? [02:13] Iceman_B^Ltop: you can, you need a boot CD/DVD to get it started, and it will install some packages off CD but the rest off the Internet. [02:13] joetromondo: you know what format the external is in? [02:13] I'm liking this channel, i',m learning about Ubuntu and english [02:13] i was,but nobody said hi...so i just left. [02:13] I just tried to join #ubuntu-br and it worked [02:13] joetheodd, do dmesg | tail in a console, look for the device, then mkdir /mnt/[DEVICE] then mount /dev/[DEVICE] /mnt/p[DEVICE] [02:13] Nikola-Debian: It's an easy to use distribution with a friendly face and decent community support [02:14] PhotoJim: by default? what about a via PXE? saves me downloading and burning a cd [02:14] ive got this windows laptop to server any files needed [02:14] *serve [02:14] Takagami: I think it is NTFS [02:14] Iceman_B^Ltop: I've never done an Ubuntu installation that way, so I really don't know. [02:14] okay [02:14] so ,anyone knows if there's a stanalone version of seamonkey/netscape/mozilla composer for ubuntu? [02:15] BlackCoffee: firefox, thunderbird, compozer, lighting? [02:15] Iceman_B^Ltop: unless you have a very slow Internet connection, I recommend you do the traditional installation. [02:15] Urdetuga , do you speak portuguese ? [02:15] BlackCoffee: "seamonkey" is a package, yes. === vorian is now known as heHATEme [02:15] yeah,i know.but i just want the composer [02:15] is it by design that the amd64 disc will not boot in a core2duo? [02:15] hence my question [02:16] fbc: the amd64 disc should boot with a Core 2 Duo. [02:16] BlackCoffee: ist called kompozer if you mean the html editor (earlier called nvu) [02:16] lemme see [02:16] PhotoJim, What would be the reasons it wouldn't? [02:17] hoho,there it is....i was seartching "komposer" instead of "kompozer" [02:17] fbc: bad burn? computer isn't booting off CD properly? [02:17] thanks iceman [02:17] PhotoJim: dont you mean fast? [02:17] Photo ok thanks.. [02:17] PhotoJim, thanks [02:17] I've got onboard VGA and a video card with 2-DVI ports... two monitors are connected to the video card via DVI, and they work fine.... however, I can't seem to figure out how to get the onboard VGA to display... how could I get both devices to act as a single screen? [02:17] Iceman_B^Ltop: no, I said I recommend a standard CD-based installation, *unless* your Internet connection is very slow. [02:18] oh [02:18] to download the image [02:18] right [02:18] Iceman_B^Ltop: you can still download it on a slow connection. but it will take a long time. if your connection is that slow, best to order a CD, or have a friend burn you one. === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:18] nah thats not the issue [02:18] Iceman_B^Ltop: I have a modest broadband connection and it only takes a few minutes for me to download an image. [02:18] its more that I dont wanna burn a cd :) [02:19] Can any one help me mount my external USB drive which I think is a NTFS hardrive? [02:19] since I'll probably only use it once === eric is now known as Guest34118 [02:19] but meh [02:19] Iceman_B^Ltop: ret some rewriteables, then you don't have to waste the disc. [02:19] i;ll go with what you suggested [02:19] man i hate KDE! [02:19] I have bad experiences with burnig ISO's to cdrw's [02:19] reminds me of windows! [02:19] Iceman_B^Ltop: I have booted off rewriteables many times. just get good ones. the best ones are the old, slow, 4x ones. take longer to burn, but they tend to work a lot more reliably. [02:20] Iceman_B^Ltop: and you can still buy them. some burners don't support any faster than 4x for rewriteables. [02:20] the problem is that I cant erase them afterwards [02:20] I can when I just burn data to them [02:20] Iceman_B^Ltop: then you possibly have a bad burner. CD-RWs should be useable a hundred times or more if you take care of them. [02:21] I know its physically possible, but once I burn an ISO image to a cdrw, I cant delete it [02:21] in all other cases its fine [02:21] but I'll grab a cdr [02:21] So, with ubuntu booting off a flash drive, how do I save stuff between boots? [02:22] !sendmail [02:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about sendmail [02:22] Does it just automatically save settings changes and/or /home stuff? [02:22] Iceman_B^Ltop: that's a software issue, or a burner issue. there is nothing inherently different about burning a data CD-RW versus burning an .iso image to CD-RW. [02:22] How can I install the latest Nautilus versions from apt-get or synaptic? [02:23] sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade [02:23] !kernel [02:23] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [02:24] teh_pwnzor: Well, sorry to not mention it, but I mean "unstable" releases, etc. [02:24] hai [02:24] ladies and gentleman!chubby! [02:25] puff: if you mean session info, that should be under $HOME/.cache/sessions [02:25] Is there any good utility that monitors your browsing? Like sees which javascripts are executed and so on? [02:25] spydon: the firebug addon for firefox is one option [02:25] glitsj16, is it easy to use? :) [02:26] upgrading to jaunty [02:26] hoorah === general is now known as Guest2309 [02:26] hi ,everyoe [02:26] spydon: i'm not a programmer and i can use it yes, it helps if you're able to read javascript, html and css etc of course [02:27] i want to make a launcher to quickly play a sound, any ideas? [02:27] glitsj16, then its perfect, thx :) [02:28] My screen goes blank after I choose Install on the amd64 alt CD. Is there anyway to make if choose a different video mode, like vga maybe? [02:28] no answer on #compiz-fusion yet: I have ubuntu, compiz, and emerald theme manager. I just downloaded and loaded an emerald theme in emerald theme manager, but it's not applying. In CompizConfig Settings Manager, Windows Decorations points to /usr/bin/compiz-decorator, should this be pointing to emerald or what do I have to do to use emerald theme manager? [02:29] spydon: you're welcome, by the way, it has great documentation --> http://getfirebug.com/ [02:29] does anyone know how i can have a launcher play a short sound? [02:29] duvld: point it to emerald yes [02:30] glitsj16: ok must need restart, thx [02:30] My screen goes blank after I choose Install on the amd64 alt CD. Is there anyway to make if choose a different video mode, like vga maybe? [02:30] !repeat | fbc [02:30] fbc: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [02:30] fbc: hit ctrl + alt + f2 [02:30] that'll take you to TT2 (a shell you can work in) [02:31] if you have an nvidia card, you're going to want to install some nvidia driver like 'nvidia-glx-177' and run the 'nvidia-xconfig' tool [02:31] clearscreen, and it will just automatically continue the instal in the new session? [02:31] any1 who can translate 1 hungarian word for me ? [02:31] oh, you're still installing? [02:31] ishmandoorebop: you could use a shell script with the launcher to do that yes, if you have pulseaudio it could be as simple as "paplay /full/path/to/audio/file" in combination with your other commands [02:31] can people see my questions at all? [02:32] 1337 [02:32] will that launch a program or just play it? [02:32] ishmandoorebop: Just make the launcher do the following: [make sound];[launch program] [02:32] clearscreen, yeah,, I put my disc in and click english, then install and then a blank screen and nothing for a long time until reboot. [02:33] ishmandoorebop: the script will do whatever you write into it yes, so it can do both (in fact playing audio is also launching an application) [02:33] clearscreen, I'm thinking it must be a video mode conflict of something. [02:33] Hi guys. I'm currently using Gutsy Gibbon, but a friend recently asked me if I was going to upgrade to Jaunty when it comes out. I told him that I was still behind the current distro. Question is, is there a big advantage to upgrading whenever a new distribution is released, or is there anything that I can get from a new distribution that I can't get from synaptic, etc.? [02:34] Flannel: what does that mean? [02:34] glitzj16: how do i start writing a script [02:34] ishmandoorebop: On the command line, you can do command1;command2 and that will execute command1 and then command2 [02:34] Jason2gs: Check the release notes for new versions. If you see something you want, upgrade. If you don't care, don't. [02:35] Jason2gs: You don't get very good updates with older versions (e.g. old Pidgin version in repository). [02:35] Jason2gs: most software on the 8.04 repositories are almost a year old, it's definitely worth upgrading if you can afford to run a beta version [02:35] Flannel: what is [make sound] [02:35] Jason2gs: I wouldn't install Junty yet, it's quite unstable. [02:35] and what would i have to do to start writing a script? [02:36] ishmandoorebop, a script is just a text file with commands in it .. so any editor that can save text as a text file will be a first start [02:36] YEAY!!!!!!! [02:36] BobTheBlueBerry: i've been running jaunty for about 2 weeks now, no stability issues what so ever.. so I suppose 'quite unstable' is really subjective [02:36] Thank you guys. [02:36] oh. oops... [02:37] tongueroo, BobTheBlueBerry, clearscreen: Thank you. [02:37] okay, so what commands should i use? what would play a sound quickly without loading a visual program? [02:37] clearscreen: well, if you use python for anything it's been broken for a few days... And it could decide not to boot at any time. :P [02:37] ishmandoorebop: take Flannel's advice on this one, if you want to get a view on writing shell scripts, ubuntu has a package called abs-guide (advanced bash scripting guide) [02:37] hey - trying to get my Fujitsu Tablet 5010 to work with the jaunty - so far everything is supported except for my wacom tablet screen - how can i enable the pen functionality? [02:37] I blacklisted intel_agp and Ubuntu doesn't freeze on boot! [02:37] tonyyarusso: I don't use python, I use real men's languages! mahahaha [02:37] djcip: #ubuntu+1 for jaunty support [02:38] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qaQ_3YyTx0 [02:38] err [02:38] wrong channel, sorry [02:38] Flannel: what commands should i use? what would play a sound quickly without loading a visual program?

In CompizConfig Settings Manager under Window Decoration I changed "command" to "/usr/bin/emerald"(the command is there). What is it I have to do to use the theme? What else can I try? I don't see a w [02:44] ay to "deactivate" human theme in "appearance". Unchecking Window Decoration in Compiz Config does make title bar disappear, so compiz must be controlling it...???

[02:53] glitchd: you'll find half your hardware doesn't work after suspend. [02:53] because kde sucks. use openbox [02:53] Iceman_B^Ltop, ext3 is great because it has journaling, if you lose power or something, it should help not losing data [02:53] lol [02:53] whats open box? [02:53] save77_: Talking in the channel is easier, actually. Ok, well, if that's all of it... You don't have Windows installed at all. I have no idea why your second harddrive is entirely empty.

[02:57] BlackCoffee, perhaps check if there are any alternative applications to run what they are used to [02:57] BlackCoffee: Seriously, you could get him a modest machine with Windows. good incentive for him to learn how to maintain a system. it's doable at 12.

[03:07] can anyone here help me with my firefox, i did something with a theme and scripts reverted back but when i goto goole and some other sites were the txt should be it is dark grey back with black text and is almost impossiable to read can anyone help me with this. [03:07] I have a 1TB network drives accessible only through smb [03:07] has anyone used quicksynergy before? or synergy in general? [03:07] Is there any way to get my hard drive to stop thrashing with Ibex? I have 6GB RAM, and somehow I only have 482,604k free...and the drive sounds like it's constantly paging. [03:07] !anyone | gaintsura [03:07] gaintsura: 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? [03:07] kevin_zhong: check if you have enabled the propietary drivers in system hardware for your card. [03:07] kevin_zhong System/Administration/Hardware Drivers [03:08] damn, beat me [03:08] :D [03:08] i did, and it downloaded and just made it smaller :( [03:08] lol [03:08] stormchas2000: That seems a little strange. Did your brother tell the installer during install that he wanted to dual boot? (I have little knowledge regarding dual-booting, I have no use for it). [03:08] Torhal: are you using a 64-bit version of Ubuntu? If not, you are probably only using 4 GB of your RAM. [03:08] who has the athros card that doesn't work? [03:08] iceroot: that really was supposed to be a generalized question... it was kind of a poll/who has used it. Most people, when asked about something will tell you more than you ask for =) [03:08] PhotoJim: I am. Quad-core Phenom. [03:08] david13: ar500*EG? [03:08] I had to compile some source code to get the ar 5006 to work [03:08] or ar242X [03:08] whooooo! [03:08] Torhal: 32-bit Linux (and Windows too) won't support more than 4 GB of RAM. [03:08] first time ubuntu user! [03:08] gaintsura: polls are a no no here [03:08] just got installed! [03:08] gaintsura: You'll need to compile the module yourself. [03:08] <--- noob [03:08] mastershake: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:09] sorry floodbot [03:09] eseven73: uhg, you missed what I meant... [03:09] PhotoJim: I'm using the 64-bit version [03:09] gaintsura: let me see if I can find the name of the source code [03:09] franklinr he says it did not ask he only adjusted the partitaion [03:09] david13: indeed, using either madwifi or ndiswrapper [03:09] Torhal: oh, ok. and good. not sure why you have the disk space issue. [03:09] gaintsura: lol sorry :) [03:09] PhotoJim: Mem: 5345616k total, 4863012k used, 482604k free, 114824k buffers [03:09] anybody have an idea on how I can get my screen resolution working? [03:09] PhotoJim: All I'm running at the moment is Firefox and XChat [03:09] gaintsura: madwifi works but not the modules with ubuntu need to compile... [03:09] PhotoJim: linux 32bit support more then 4gb ram, but not more then 4gb ram for 1 prozess (motherboard must support this option) [03:09] eseven73: np =) it was an app that I read about on lifehacker, but I want to see more info on it [03:10] david13: install backports? [03:10] Torhal: open a shell and type "free" and then type "vmstat" after that. it'll give some information as to memory usage. [03:10] anyone? [03:10] ice yup, 32-bit > 4GB is kludgy. I was oversimplifying. [03:10] gaintsura: no there is a tarball I used [03:10] how can i tell which nic i have in my machine in ubuntu? [03:10] stormchas2000: So he definitely did an install after he adjusted the partition? [03:10] sorry Kev, I'm just a beginner myself. :) [03:10] david13: yeah, most kernels need the backports modules and build essential installed at the minimum [03:10] :) [03:10] kevin_zhong: did you install nvidia settings manager from synap? [03:11] I couldn't get any of the backports to work. I installed build essentials and the kernel headers... [03:11] i dont think so, how do I do that? [03:11] largeprime: maybe lspci [03:11] I compiled the module myself [03:11] PhotoJim: Ok [03:11] I downloaded the drivrs manually, but the encoding to open it wasn't available [03:11] franklin yes it is there and he can see it he just can not get ubuntu to load up [03:11] hello there [03:11] sys/admin/synap...search/nvidia [03:11] It worked. But I can't remember the name need to do a find [03:11] i need help configuring port forwarding for my ps3 under ubuntu with firestarter [03:12] I am using a wireless N usb adapter now [03:12] some1 can help me? [03:12] ok.... [03:12] rrrrjkjrklejsyhtr [03:12] lspci? thanks i'll google that [03:12] htrjhkkjjjjjlikkk [03:12] gcjjhgkkkkkkkkkxstttttttttttttttttttttt [03:12] alma please stop that [03:12] stormchas2000: Hmm, that really does seem strange - GRUB should be installed by default (I think). It would seem this is a little out of my depth. Sorry. [03:12] david13: have you blacklisted the right module and either rebooted or modprobed ath_pci ? [03:13] Feh. Drive is just churning constantly. It did the same thing when I only had 2GB physical RAM, no idea why the hell it's so greedy that it eats 5.5GB RAM. [03:13] Yeah I had to blacklist the ath modules. [03:13] franklin ok well we went to the forums and tried to load grub but still it doaes not seam to take, unsure how to help him [03:14] Torhal: try looking in htop......sudo apt-get install htop then just type htop in a terminal [03:14] stormchas2000, xp overwrites grub when installed after ubuntu, so you have to reinstall grub using a live cd [03:14] eseven73: Danke, trying now. [03:14] ok my nic is a Realtek 8139 [03:14] does anyone know how to force mplayer to use a specific resolution to output video? [03:14] basti xp was on there first then ubuntu was installed second [03:15] david13: sudo modprobe -r ath_pci && sudo modprobe ath_pci ? [03:15] and did you disable the restricted driver (if any?) [03:15] should not ubuntu understand this hardware? [03:15] stormchas2000, well then maybe he didnt install grub - just reinstall it [03:15] wow jaunty's resolution is so much better on my laptop [03:15] eseven73: Heh, Swap is 5MB/2188MB, so I dunno why the drive sounds like it's paging like mad. Makes sense as to why it's using almost all physical RAM, though. [03:15] basti we did sudo grub [03:16] I am trying to share a folder between two ubuntu pcs. I right click on the folder icon in nautilus and share it, but I get an error message in the the pc trying to access it saying "failed to retrieve share list from server". What can I do? [03:16] hey all, I'm trying to get internet to work, ifconfig does not show eth0, and neither does system->admin->network, what should I look at [03:16] gaintsura: I had to compile the new module... erase the old before I did a make install on the source code [03:16] !grub [03:16] 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 [03:16] perhaps ubuntu is confused? [03:16] Torhal: it should list the process that is hoggin everything up === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:17] stormchas2000, read restoregrub [03:17] gaintsura: I blacklisted the other module ath_5k something and then I think it picked up the compiled module [03:17] Torhal: i bet its trackerd [03:17] komputes: ping [03:17] what is the difference between aptitude install and apt-get [03:17] Hm, I'm having trouble burning an iso. [03:17] I still have the source code I downloaded somewhere... if you give me a second I'll tell you the tarball name [03:18] puff: be more specific? [03:18] marqueed: There isn't much difference anymore. Feel free to use whichever you prefer. Aptitude provides a GUI if you run it without arguments. [03:18] I follow the instructions here for burning from ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [03:18] marqueed: if you just type aptitude you'll see one difference right away [03:18] I am used to running kde, so I need to figure out how to find a file with the gui [03:18] I'm trying to use remote desktop between my HTPC and my normal PC, and found this guide: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-use-remote-desktop-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html - but I can't connect because the field where I type in the password doesn't come up [03:18] And I get: "there was an error writing to the disc" [03:18] scince I can't tell where gnome mounts a smb filesystem via nautilus [03:18] Hi all [03:19] Flannel: anymore? what was the difference? [03:19] david13: it's somewhere weird in .gnome-vfs, i think [03:19] ~/.gnome-vfs/ [03:19] Yeah it is weird. [03:19] hrmmm, i may have lied [03:19] marqueed: Removal of unused dependencies, basically. [03:19] .gvfs, sorry [03:20] not really this channel's field, but does anyone know python? I'm editing a script and am stuck --can't get into #python because I can't get IDENTD going. [03:20] I found it [03:20] So then I tried the command line burning instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvd/Burning and got http://paste.ubuntu.com/139947/ [03:20] running find in a console [03:20] How can I find the current working directory for a process? I have a mystery process and I want to find where the binary is [03:20] FoolsRun: Try #ubuntu-offtopic [03:20] ps -eaf doesn't give me the current working directory [03:20] Flannel: thanks [03:20] FoolsRun: i can help, probably [03:20] Can VLC player use the .ds2 format? It is specific to Olympus Voice Recorders and I am shopping... [03:21] "madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz" is the name of the tarball... I had a hell of a time finding it. [03:21] It's somewhere on the madwifi site [03:21] Worked for me [03:21] The audio doesn't work in VLC. I've tried removing audiopulse and switching to the OSS and ALSA modules, but no luck. Any idea what else i can do? [03:22] Hobz: Pray [03:22] Hobz: install the extra audo plugins [03:22] david13, I was thinking sacrifice [03:22] Hobz: vlc-plugin-pulse [03:22] does anyone know a good how-to for make the macbook pro unibody's trackpad working good ? [03:22] marqueed, I tried that before removing pulseaudio, no go [03:23] (on jaunty) [03:23] Hi all, I cant get ethernet to work, cant find anything about eth0 : I've posted some more info here http://codepad.org/35oMUD0L any help is appreciated [03:23] Does .ds2 format work in VLC? [03:23] hobz try sudo alsa force-reload [03:23] Hobz: anything in the vlc logs? [03:23] haven't tried those [03:23] hang on [03:23] hobz then in sound settings make sure everything is on Alsa [03:23] /join #easypeasy [03:23] marqueed, where would I find those? [03:23] Tools > Messages [03:24] marqueed: Any suggestions? [03:24] marqueed: MD5 sum matches. Hm. [03:24] ok so why cant ubuntu use my realtec8139 nic? [03:24] why does a middle click on an icon act like a double click, furthermore, how do i turn that off? [03:25] No one in offtopic [03:25] ]bummer [03:25] eseven73: Could it be this? [03:25] eseven73: Gah [03:26] COpy/paste didn't work [03:26] How to connect to the Internet at Ubuntu (wifi) [03:26] Torhal: dont paste it here, use paste.ubuntu.com [03:26] So I used usb-creator and that sets up a usb drive to effectively run the liveCD iso from the USB drive, and also keep persistent data on the USB drive. [03:26] 29:32.47 /usr/bin/pulseaudio -D --log-target-syslog [03:26] How can one remap the space-bar without a space-bar? =) [03:26] eseven73: One line, or I would use a pasty [03:26] !time [03:26] Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) [03:26] puff: i'm not much of an expert on this, sorry [03:26] It is now Saturday March 28 2009 10:26:42 PM UTC-4 (EDT). (24 hour time is 22:26:42). 1238293602 seconds since 00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970. (Not counting leap seconds.) [03:26] I'm trying to use remote desktop between my HTPC and my normal PC, and found this guide: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-use-remote-desktop-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html - but I can't connect because the field where I type in the password doesn't come up. [03:27] However, I've seen mention of actually installing ubuntu on the USB drive, not as a live CD but as a regular install. But I've also seen forum posts saying "that's bad" but not really explaining why it's bad. Anyone know? [03:27] puff: Flash drives are generally slow in terms of I/O. [03:27] segin: So how is that different from running the live CD off the flash drive? [03:27] puff: Also, it can be hard to pin down the /dev node for the flash drive. It can change between boots. [03:27] i need help configuring port forwarding for my ps3 under ubuntu with firestarter or iptables can someone help me? [03:28] puff: IIRC, the full install caches the devnode, the LiveCD scans for it [03:28] Ah-hah... hm. [03:28] help [03:28] puff: You could have two drives plugged in [03:28] Torhal: just going by that im not sure,.. [03:28] Sounds like somebody oughta develop an in-between version where it's a full install that scans. [03:28] puff: Your boot drive could move from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb and would break booting [03:29] Hm, that's interesting. I just tried to change a user password with passwd, mistyped the password the second time,so it failed, but the last line of output from passwd was "password updated successfully". [03:29] eseven73: Alrighty. Nothing is using excessive CPU, and I'm only using 5MB swap...that had the highest CPU time overall and it is writing to syslog so it was a guess. [03:29] holy crap, NTFS move operations between a single harddrive are.....slow [03:29] :/ [03:29] Torhal: under cpu% you'll see a list, the hoggier ones at the top [03:29] puff: i think it always says that [03:29] 5-6 MB/ [03:29] s [03:30] i lied [03:30] marqueed: Time to get all inigo montoya on them. [03:30] eseven73: Yah, I know top...only reason I'm here is I'm going nuts. My drive is making thrashing sounds for no reason :) [03:30] Either Ubuntu is doing something really weird or the bastard is about to die. [03:30] Torhal: could it have something to do with the hdparm "bug" from awhile back? [03:30] I'm hoping that it's not the latter,. [03:30] Dunno...didn't investigate that, thankye. [03:31] Torhal: you could temporarly disable swap sudo swapoff -a and see if that helps [03:31] are you on a laptop - there was previously a problem with bad default settings, causing the drive to try to park too quickly and have to spin up again [03:31] marqueed: Nope. Desktop unit./ [03:33] okay, now I disabled password, asking for confirmation and encryption - and it still won't connect [03:33] eseven73: Thankye for htop, though. I'd never used a cures-based top before. [03:33] yeah np, htop is pretty nice :) [03:33] so is iptraf......another curses based app [03:34] ok i found this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=74497 [03:34] eseven73: Ah, iptraf is nice. [03:34] it is great :) [03:34] apparently there are 2 8139 nic devices [03:35] that thread has a bad link. antone know how i can switch drivers? [03:35] "Important note :-Remote Desktop will only work if there’s a GNOME login session.Leaving your computer with an unattended GNOME login session is not secure and not recommended." - what exactly does that mean?

[03:59] Megarain, worth a try, [03:59] largeprime, let me look for info on that then. it will take time [03:59] broadcom === Xeio is now known as Hyren [03:59] largeprime: a broadcom ???? [03:59] and what wired card? [03:59] Yeah, I warn you, you may need to install via synaptic. [03:59] largeprime, use "lshw | grep network" [04:00] elky, i could dl a naew release and burn,then reinstall [04:00] I can't share a folder between computers using samba. It should not be that hard. Can someone help me debug? I am getting the error message "failed to retreive list of shared folders" [04:00] So, why does this ubuntu iso show up as ls -l size -> 732766208, but in Gnome GUI apps it shows up as 698MB? [04:01] 698.8 MB. [04:01] mercutio22: you have samba ports open in all your firewalls, yes? [04:01] net 0,1 disabled [04:01] puff: because that's 698 MB [04:01] tj83 [04:01] lockd: ? [04:01] puff: ls -l size reports the number of bytes [04:02] largeprime, if nothing there, then you can try lspci | grep net or lsusb | grep net or simply lsusb and lspci to look for your hardware info [04:02] gartral i think so yes [04:02] gartral> I don't have a firewall installed. Can it be a problem with my router/. === eric is now known as Guest88093 [04:02] puff: 1 KB = 1024 bytes, 1 MB = 1024 KB [04:02] gardar> ? that was a question [04:02] ls -lh ( h == human readable , like k,MB, or GB ) [04:02] largeprime, 8.10 is the newest release. try the older release, 8.04 [04:02] tj83 looked for it and foure is a bug with realtek 8139 nicsnd that the [04:03] I'm using ERC Version 5.2 with GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2008-09-05. [04:03] hi! === jay is now known as Guest64559 [04:03] good night all my eyes are sagging [04:03] elky reinstall from 8.04? [04:03] largeprime: i was asking what specific broadcom card it is, if we can find drivers, we can ndis wrap them and make wireless work [04:03] Hi, where could I find documentation on how brainstorm.ubuntu.com was built? It's current source code. [04:03] largeprime, i have some realtek hardware here... what is the exact line showing your hardware? [04:03] 1024*1024*698.8 [04:03] Do you have idea how to get the microphone to work with ubuntu? [04:04] anyone? [04:04] largeprime, my example : lsusb give me "Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0bda:8197 Realtek Semiconductor Corp." [04:04] lockd: Ah, I see. Dunno why I didn't expect that. [04:04] u have to unmute the mic [04:04] Guest64559: i am tryin to get it to work with yahoo chat [04:04] its very weak [04:04] gyachi [04:04] getoo: Me too. [04:04] for me it was auto mute [04:04] you can hear just fine tho [04:04] also the muting part dont work [04:05] hmm [04:05] I get a bunch of errors [04:05] my microphone does not work at all [04:05] i heared it works with pulseuadio [04:05] audacity wont record a thing [04:05] not in yahoo but setting of pc [04:05] hey i was told to use XAMPP for webshost so that i can try PHP programs...but thats for Windows...can anyone tell me an alternative for windows [04:05] some sound cards don't work well with pulseaudio [04:05] hey i was told to use XAMPP for webshost so that i can try PHP programs...but thats for Windows...can anyone tell me an alternative for *ubuntu [04:05] better chance of gettin help in linux,freebsd,solaris:1 [04:06] in yahoo chat [04:06] Elijah: the bottom banner on brainstorm.ubuntu.com mentions http://www.ideatorrent.org/ [04:06] evening, is jaunty off topic here being beta? [04:06] one of the developers comes to that room [04:06] When setting up a liveCd/USB flash drive, it lets you choose how much space to use for persistence. What's the implication o doing this, is this purely a constraint on how much space the running liveCD will let oyu use, or does it keep you from using space for other stuff on that USB disk? [04:06] ddd707: yep join #Ubuntu+1 [04:06] lspci says ehternet is RTL-8139/8139c/8139c+ rev 10 [04:06] thanks eseven.. [04:06] largeprime, how about lsusb? [04:06] np [04:06] PerryArmstrong: LAMP. [04:06] Greetings [04:06] !dvd [04:06] 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 [04:06] is it possible to use a server computer as a normal desktop [04:07] getoo: not much of a better chance in Solaris unless you are using Nexenta [04:07] !installation-dvd [04:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:07] puff; ohkk thanq [04:07] can CEDET semantic parse the STL? [04:07] got it [04:07] hacker07: yes, but the kernel is a bit different for server [04:07] hacker07: Yes, if the server computer has a graphics card, etc. [04:07] lsusb says usb root hub and bluetooth [04:07] eseven73: I thought he was asking about server hardware, not about using an ubuntu server install. [04:07] Does anyone know if the Installation DVD for Ubunut 64-bit includes anything extra apart from language packs? [04:07] so if is it easy if you do [04:07] PerryArmstrong: take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for details on how to install & configure etc. [04:07] hacker07: it's generally a bad idea to use a server as a desktop concurrently [04:08] okay thanks [04:08] PerryArmstrong: XAMPP is just a windows installer for several apps that you can trivially install on linux - apache, mysql (or postgres), php, perl, python, etc. [04:08] although, I have server 2008 on my home comp [04:08] Also, I'm considering downloading the pandora gadget for Adobe Air [04:08] Does anyone know if the Installation DVD for Ubunut 64-bit includes anything extra apart from language packs? [04:08] but it isn't free software [04:08] glitsj16: You da man! [04:08] puff..so which do you think is better XAMPP of LAMP [04:08] largeprime, it would seem your hardware is not being shown at all? certain the lspci output shows your wifi not your wired ethernet? [04:08] Guest64559: join gyachi [04:09] glitsj16; thanxx [04:09] glitsj16: Bummer it won't work with mysql though [04:09] sorry #gyachi [04:09] :X [04:09] Elijah: i'll forward that friendly comment to the easterbunnies, thanks [04:09] PerryArmstrong: Same thing [04:09] PerryArmstrong: LAMP is just a linux box running apache, mysql and php/perl/python. [04:09] hacker07: desktop drivers like nVidia can bring the system down. ouch, if it's also being used as a server [04:09] tj83 lspci says network controller Broadcom BCM4318 airforce one 54g rev 02 [04:09] Adobe air runs a bunch of java scripts and has internet connectivity [04:09] how do i launch synaptic as root from a non-admin account? [04:09] Does anyone know if the Installation DVD for Ubunut 64-bit includes anything extra apart from language packs? [04:09] Does anyone know if the Installation DVD for Ubuntu 64-bit includes anything extra apart from language packs? [04:09] zaccour, ifconfig ? [04:09] Pseudo, puff; ohkk...thank you very much [04:09] PerryArmstrong: XAMP is just somebody trying to make that handy combination available on windows without too much pain and blood (aside from the pain and blood that windows inflicts just by being on your machine). [04:09] I'm having a lot of trouble trying to install postfix for like the 100th time... the common error I'm receiving is "ERR: config file is missing" or similar. reading up on it leads me to remove it, then reinstall it.... I do: sudo apt-get purge postfix, and then sudo apt-get install postfix, agreeing to install related packages, but even the install apt-get command returns multiple "ERR: config files missing" errors... how can t [04:09] hat be when I'm doing a fresh install of the package? what is it I need to do so apt-get retrieves the files needed? [04:09] Grrr, still cant get that sound working right. [04:09] tj83 both show [04:10] tj83 lspci says network controller Broadcom BCM4318 airforce one 54g rev 02 [04:10] puff: ah i thought he meant the ubuntu server software :/ [04:10] glitsj16: Thanks ;) [04:10] jamiejackson: su to an admin account "su user" [04:10] lspci says ehternet is RTL-8139/8139c/8139c+ rev 10 [04:10] I asked in #ubuntu-server but it's pretty quiet there: Any way to send a network alert when ups kicks in?(so all the other boxes can nicely shut down when there's like 2 minutes left of power for instance). APC SmartUPS1400 [04:10] eseven73: Idaknow what he means now :-). [04:10] largeprime, the BCM4318 is your wifi.... google. [04:10] i will take a look also [04:10] so what if you don't use it as a server [04:10] I did --reinstall too... and it still reports the same error [04:10] puff; is there any .NET alternative in linux [04:10] tj83 and the driver is broke [04:10] PerryArmstrong: LAMP was an acronym coined in, hm, around 2000, give or take a year. [04:10] it seems [04:10] double P? [04:10] hacker07: then install from the desktop distro, so you get a desktop kernel [04:10] PerryArmstrong, mono? [04:11] mono . . [04:11] PerryArmstrong: Depends on what you mean by ".net alternative". There's a .net port called Mono. [04:11] hacker07: are you talking about like a real physical server, like what google uses? or are you tlaking bout the software Ubuntu Operating system? [04:11] genii: absolutely possible depending on the UPS you have. see apcupsd package, e.g., if you have an APC UPS. [04:11] Does the Installation DVD for Ubuntu 64-bit include anything extra apart from language packs? [04:11] kindofabuzz, puff; i meant for windows apps we build it through .NET...what about in linux [04:11] PerryArmstrong: So 2000 was The Year Of The Platform. That's when the buzzword "development platform" became very popular, replacing "enterprise server". [04:11] largeprime, so it was working before? [04:11] when does gnome 2.26 come [04:11] nope [04:11] im talking about a physical server system [04:11] PhotoJim: Thanks [04:11] do i have to wait for 9.06 [04:11] never [04:12] PerryArmstrong: You biuld what through.net, XAMPP? [04:12] just did the install [04:12] erryArmstrong: Also around 2000, a lot of people were coding up web apps in just-plain-old apache, mysql and php, running on linux servers. [04:12] ok puff you were right lol [04:12] d0nkeyBOB: gnome 2.26 is out. It will be in ubuntu 9.04, which will be released 4/23. [04:12] he means like an hp server [04:12] no way to get it for 8.10? [04:12] Psuedo: not sure exactly, but there's jigdo which will allow you to build your own disc [04:12] d0nkeyBOB, 2.226 is in Jaunty, don't know if intrepid will upgrade, i doubt it [04:12] PerryArmstrong: So somebody (I think at O'Reilly & Associates) coined the acronym LAMP (Linux+Apache+Mysql+Perl/Python/PHP; originally mostly perl, these days mostly PHP). [04:13] largeprime, ubuntu wifi docs says its supported... your radio switch on? pastebine the output of iwconfig and iwlist scan [04:13] pastebin* [04:13] oh . . .bummer [04:13] d0nkeyBOB, download it and build it yourself is always possible [04:13] lockd: Okay [04:13] puff; no no..i have to do a college project using .NET software in Windows...a live project to be implemented in college. I dont like using Windows except for gaming and i want to know whether its possible to build in linux [04:13] PerryArmstrong: to point out that this was an organically emerging web application "platform" that was rivaling the heavily marketed web application "platforms" like J2EE, etc. [04:14] i was trying to look for garnome 2.26 . . but i can't find it [04:14] tj83 cant pastebin have to save file and sneaker net it to this pc [04:14] puff; yes yes....i really want to know whether php is better or j2ee [04:14] PerryArmstrong: Oh, well if you have to meet an arbitrarily imposed limitation of developing in windows .net... [04:14] PerryArmstrong: it really depends on what you are using from .NET [04:14] PerryArmstrong: the answer is "it depends", but that's really not a question for #ubuntu. [04:14] well any useful info from those commands? [04:14] puff; asked that on curiosity [04:14] PerryArmstrong: I have been doing web programming since 1994 (not kidding, I remember when they added background image support :-). [04:15] PerryArmstrong: And I have done a lot of first perl, then java, and lately PHP. [04:15] PerryArmstrong: They all have their strengths. [04:15] largeprime, any useful info from those commands? [04:15] d0nkeyBOB, garnome is only at 2.24 looks like [04:15] largeprime, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy [04:15] guys i want to boot up a mac with ubuntu cd .. any ideas ? [04:15] yea i saw that . . .but gnome says to use garnome 2.26 . . .so i'm at a loss [04:15] PerryArmstrong: They all have their weaknesses. I would be happy to discuss this at length at some othre date, because right now I'm actually working on a critical project deadline. [04:15] kindofabuzz: what is garnome, ive only heard of it recently [04:15] d0nkeyBOB, actuall only 2.22, 2.24 isn't even done yet [04:15] nice . . . [04:16] puff; can i have an appoitment with you [04:16] gartral, GARNOME is a build utility that allows users to build the GNOME Desktop [04:16] puff; can i have an *appointment with you [04:16] it helps you compile gnome [04:16] PerryArmstrong: I'll PM you some contact info. [04:16] PerryArmstrong: Btw, where are you? [04:16] puff; india [04:16] puff; you [04:16] Fun. [04:16] Good food. [04:16] puff; spicy food [04:16] i had indian tonight . . .aloo matter [04:17] so good [04:17] sorry off the subject . . [04:17] mythtv under 8.10x64 with avermedia hybrid volar max (native drivers) just flickers when i try to 'watch tv', any input welcomed [04:17] d0nkeyBOB; great [04:17] oh well . . .guess i'll have to wait for jaunty. [04:18] will it be safe to upgrade right away hen it comes out? [04:18] I am currently running the unstable releases. I would say no [04:18] room for jaunty beta? [04:18] ha\ [04:18] im resizing a 40 gig hdd to 50 % of that, how long is this going to take ?! it's an old IDE hdd on a Dell Demented(tion) 2400... [04:18] ubuntu+1 [04:19] digitalpsyko - #ubuntu+1 [04:19] ty sir [04:19] I have a harddrive of 150GB(usable), whats a good size for the swap partition? [04:19] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/139963/ tj83 [04:19] im setting up a server system that has 256 MB of ram [04:19] Iceman_B^Ltop, 2x your ram [04:19] okay [04:19] and I would upgrade the ram if at all possible [04:20] gparted says 00:09:08 is that 9 hours? O.o [04:20] lockd: I wish [04:20] eseven73: 9 minutes [04:20] but I cant find RDram for cheap anywhere [04:20] largeprime, you have something there. wlan0 showing a working wifi chip [04:20] so if you have anything to spare, I'll take it :) [04:20] What command will tell me everything there is to know about an IP address on my LAN? [04:20] gartral: hmmm its' been way over 9 minutes [04:20] Iceman_B^Ltop, 1 gig is plenty [04:21] but no access point detected largeprime [04:21] Hobz: alright [04:21] eseven73: then its either stuck, or you have a MASSIVE drive [04:21] I'll partition that then [04:21] Iceman_B^Ltop: ah, right, I have a system with 500MB and it's DDR.. still can't find that [04:21] gartral: just 40 gigs [04:21] I have data on the drive so I dont want to destroy all data [04:21] eseven73: is it changing at all? [04:21] gartral: im shrinking it to 20 gigs [04:21] how do i connect with it? i think it has the wrong driver [04:21] no :( [04:22] eseven73: are you sure theres not more than 20 gigs used? [04:22] any program that supports qcelp? i am trying to play videos off my phone and it uses qcelp audio... [04:22] i think BOTH my broadcom and mt realtek have the wrong drivers loaded [04:22] im blasted [04:22] gartral: yeah, its a 40 gig IDE hdd about 4 years old [04:22] largeprime, without a detected access point i am not sure.. i do know the manual connnect syntax is like iwconfig wlan0 essid wifiname [04:23] eseven73: yes, but are you sure theres NOT more than 20 gigs of data ALREADY on it? [04:23] what is a good place to learn c [04:23] Any really experienced computer guys in here (Mainly System Builders / troubleshooters)? [04:23] largeprime, assuming you do get connected you will have to run dhclient wlan0 [04:23] I am a system builder [04:23] pchater: what's the issue? [04:23] tj83 i cannot get the net connection manager to even look for anything [04:23] aham [04:24] gartral: theres about 10 gigs used, another Ubuntu OS [04:24] so 30 gigs is free/empty [04:24] Digital7: Black Screen won't POST - AsRock Penryn1600SLIX3-WIFI board. Done a full system diagnostic; processor, hard drives, graphics are fine. [04:24] eseven73: and are the counters moving, at all? [04:24] nope [04:24] eseven73: its stuck...

[04:25] largeprime, i am afraid i dont know how to better help :( [04:25] pchater: the 110/220 switch, that is [04:25] pchater: there's a little red switch that says 110 or 220 -- i've seen them cause that [04:25] eseven73: not sure, you sure the drive was ok before you started [04:25] ? [04:25] gartral: yep worked just fine [04:25] largeprime, do iwconfig --help maybe i had the syntax wrong.. i cant try it as i am online currently [04:25] Digital7: Power Supply is also fine. Motherboard Powers on, and the drives all spin etc. But it doesn't post. Also I believe the 110 / 220 is a voltage increase so I don't want to make my Power Supply go BANG :P [04:26] you pointed out my bdcom wless should be using legacy drivers. can you tell me how to install thoes? [04:26] pchater, ##hardware for that [04:26] largeprime, no, you will have to do more research [04:26] <|v|aster> anyone know a channel i could get help with a SQL error? [04:27] |v|aster, /msg alis help [04:27] largeprime, it was talking about actually flashing the firmware... not sure i would attempt that just yet [04:28] okaym I have a 150GB drive, the first part is a NTFS partition of 40GB, the rest, I just formatted to Ext3. how can I mount the Ext3 parition and copy my date from the NTFS partition to the Ext 3 one ? === brock is now known as brockmasterflex [04:28] Iceman_B^Ltop, you will need to do from ubuntu instead of windows... you cant mount the ext3 drive in windows natively [04:28] I am on ubuntu right now [04:29] well, Im running the 8.10 live cd [04:29] I want to convert everything to Ext3, and keep my daa [04:29] both partitions should show under places then Iceman_B^Ltop [04:29] *data [04:29] tj83 iwconfig wlan0 essid "myroutereesid" gave operation not permitted [04:29] oh, right [04:30] largeprime, use sudo [04:30] <|v|aster> largeprime, try it with sdo [04:31] did. worked? ping something?

[04:43] :( [04:44] thanks for trying tj. think i am gonna install 8.04 as elky? suggested [04:45] hi. i lost my terminal. i can start many instances of gnome-terminal, but they do not show up. they are not minimized, they are not on the other desktop. they are just..nowhere. maybe on my second monitor, which is not connected. what to do to get it back? [04:45] largeprime, worth a try... 8.10 tends to have better support for newer hardware but 8.04 is runs more stable. [04:45] Anyone running the Intel 82801DB-ICH4 chipset? Have a long standing issue with the volume controls. For some reason the headphone volume isn't controlled by the master volume === eseven73 is now known as _VIM_ [04:48] !give me a test [04:48] * Cosmo gives bazhang :bazhang!n=bazhang@unaffiliated/bazhang PRIVMSG #ubuntu :+!give me a test. [04:48] Oh no, I won't, I'm not like some of those nasty scripts' users! [04:49] What is the most common/popular mp3/media player that has visualizations and whatnot... [04:49] hmm that's debatable [04:49] !players > bluenzo^nix [04:49] bluenzo^nix, please see my private message [04:49] yep debatable [04:49] rhythmbox comes with ubuntu [04:49] dont think it has visualizations though [04:49] thanks bazhang [04:49] Cpudan80: it does [04:50] bluenzo^nix: vlc has visualizations [04:50] oh I stand corrected [04:50] and supports lots of codecs [04:50] i have VLC, id ditn know it had visualizations :P [04:50] XMMS2, comes with ubuntu? [04:51] bluenzo^nix, audacious is the replacement for xmms [04:51] bazhang, k thanks [04:53] do all network hubs work with Ubuntu or just certain ones? [04:53] zaccour, all of them. [04:53] zaccour: every last one [04:53] Lol [04:54] ok thanks [04:54] Lol [04:54] zaccour: if you find one that doesn't work - smash it with a hammer [04:54] as its not worth anything [04:54] hahaha okedokey [04:54] Hi [04:54] just wanna make sure i buy a good one [04:54] I agree [04:54] zaccour: don't buy a hub [04:54] buy a switch [04:54] I second that [04:54] you probably cant even buy a hub now adays [04:54] Buy a switch === Charlie is now known as Guest16540 [04:55] I am having a Mongrel server running on port 3001 and can reach it from the machine itself. However I cant connect to it via the network [04:55] Cpudan80, where do i get a switch? [04:55] It is on my LAN and works great [04:55] Hubs take the incoming line and split it across all clients (100 MB in, 10 clients = 10MB / client). A switch gives the full smash to everyone [04:55] I really prefere switches [04:55] what are they called? network switches? [04:55] zaccour: any legit retailer walmart, bestbuy ... [04:55] Switches also prevent collisions [04:56] !ot [04:56] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:56] you can use some cheap-ass 20 euro router as a switch too :) [04:56] zaccour: they are called switches --- anything by linksys will do [04:56] just disable DHCP and you're set :P [04:56] ok thanks [04:56] Oh, and plug in your wan cable in one of the LAN slots, not WANslot [04:56] Or use a crossover [04:57] is there anyway I can force Ubuntu to run in "Low Graphics Mode" [04:57] Does anyone have any idea why I can't reach port 3001 (or any other port other than 80)? [04:57] the reason i need a switch is because my internet wont connect to my ps3 without being connected to a computer also [04:57] kevin_zhong: Specify on grub line option: vga === qcjn is now known as qcjnsdjsdjsljoiu [04:58] do switches connect to the computer and the game console at the same time? the name switch sounds like one or the other [04:58] how do I do that? === qcjnsdjsdjsljoiu is now known as qcjn [04:58] i mean, with a switch would it be connected to 2 different machines at the same time?? [04:58] zaccour: the PS3 uses DHCP correct? [04:58] zaccour the switch distributes the network packets to the proper recipients [04:59] zaccour: Yes, or however many it has plugs for. Typically 4,8,12, and 16 plugs [04:59] ok thanks [04:59] whats the difference between a switch and a hub? [04:59] the hub just forwards to everyone [04:59] genii: how can I specify on grub line option? [04:59] Hm, I just got a mysterious failure when using the usb-creator to create an Ubuntu live CD on a flash drive. It just said "failed with "Install command exited with code:: 256" [05:00] that also might result in collisions and costs you bandwidth [05:00] but with 2 systems connected this is neglectable [05:00] kevin_zhong: For one-time boot, hit ESC when grub prompt begins. Then e to edit the loading line, etc. After editing it will boot with that option, but only that once. For permanent add the option in the line which loads the kernel in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file [05:01] does Audacious has a visualizer? [05:01] can anyone tell me whats required to learn to learn linux OS programming [05:01] I just plugged a flash drive in, it has 3 partitions how can I tell what they are named in dev? [05:02] PerryArmstrong, have you had any experience with the C language? [05:02] <|v|aster> learn perl and shell scripting, you will go far, PerryArmstrong [05:02] andrewfree: you could check /var/log/messages or you could mount the partitions and have a look at what's inside [05:02] Hobz; i had in my 1st year in college...i have learnt upto stack , queue programming [05:03] whoa wait i'm in #ubuntu ... uh i'm sure there's some gui thing for that [05:03] hubs are probably less expensive. would a hub be able to connect to both my computer and my ps3? [05:03] zaccour: yes and yes [05:03] PerryArmstrong, any particular area of the OS you're interested in? [05:03] I thought you said hubs are probably not even easy to come by anymore [05:03] |v|aster; i have done some initial programming of shell like adding two numbers...etc i have it i this semester [05:03] however I don't know how big the price difference is [05:03] pines0ul: nothing in the log :/ [05:04] you probably could even just use a crossover cable [05:04] taht should be cheapest [05:04] wait [05:04] whats a crossover bable? [05:04] zaccour: An ethernet switch is a slightly smarter version of an ethernet hub, almost all such are switches these days and the cost difference should be negligible. [05:04] cable [05:04] think I found it... [05:04] andrewfree: you could also do 'ls -lct /dev|grep sd' and see what's on top [05:04] Hobz; i never programmed the OS..so i dont have much idea...but yes i do like to improve the performance [05:04] its sdb1 [05:04] of linux [05:04] I think it was in my log. [05:04] PerryArmstrong, you might want to look into kernel programming, then [05:05] zaccour: An ethernet hub replicates the signal on all cables plugged into it, a switch is smart enough to see which cable belongs to which MAC address and only replicate the signal on the cable for the MAC address it's intended for. [05:05] Hobz; whats the difference between OS and kernel.. i have been trying to know this simce long time [05:05] puff so a hub would be better for my ps3 to be connected at the same time? [05:05] zaccour: You only ant to connect PS3 and PC right? [05:05] How would I reformat a USB flash drive to fat32, just use fdisk? [05:05] puff: that will work [05:05] zaccour: I have no idea what would be good for a ps3. [05:06] I just installed xmms2 for kicks, i dont see it in my application menu [05:06] pines0ul: Thanks. === Flare-laptop is now known as Flare183 [05:06] themurmish, my modem has 1 port, and it requires computer connection for the signal to be transmitted to the ps3 [05:06] puff: You can use gparted [05:06] kernel is the os, essentially. I can explain it here, but you're probably better off with the wikipedia article [05:07] PerryArmstrong: the kernel is part of the OS [05:07] PerryArmstrong, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computer_science) [05:07] zaccour: so I would then recommend to get a router instead and connect to that. If that's to expencive get a crossover cable and just conect PC and PS3 with that [05:07] i just did a fresh install of xubuntu and i went to synaptic to install samba and i got the folowing errorE: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [05:07] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [05:07] genii: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-11-generic root=UUID=A68868BB88688C1D loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro ROOTFLAGS=syncio quiet splash would be where I put it? [05:07] lockd; ohkk so whats required to learn to program the kernel...embedded C?? [05:07] pines0ul: so I found its sdc1. [05:07] themurmish, whats a crossover cable? [05:07] zaccour: If you had a router your PC wouldn't have to be on all the time you are playing with the PS3 [05:07] andrewfree: congrats :) [05:08] kevin_zhong: Right after where the word "splash" is [05:08] But when I try to mount it it says cant find it in fstab [05:08] ubuntnoob: That means that you need to report it as a bug [05:08] ok, thanks! [05:08] and i'm scared [05:08] zaccour: A crossover cable allows you to connect to devices directly [05:08] !bugs | ubuntnoob [05:08] ubuntnoob: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [05:08] so on #mythtv-users they're telling me my kworld 120 should just work. is there anything in ubuntu 8.10 x64 that is conflicting with this tuner card? [05:08] andrewfree: try mounting it as superuser [05:08] kevin_zhong: You're welcome [05:08] PerryArmstrong: C, the kernel's API, IRQs, etc [05:08] ill restart now and see if it works :) [05:08] themurmish: Oh, is that what he wants? Yah, you need a router to share an internet connection between to machines. [05:08] lockd; IRQ?? [05:08] caeroe: which Tuner Card is it? [05:08] thanks yall, i guess im out to wal-mart to see what they have there [05:08] or hub [05:08] andrewfree, did you make a directory for it in /mnt/? [05:08] zaccour: with hub or switch you cna connect more than 2 devices but you need one cabe for eahc devices [05:09] zaccour: Most routers you can buy these days also have a built-in 4-port switc. [05:09] zaccour: But chekto make sure, obviousyl. [05:09] Hobz: no. [05:09] ah [05:09] ok, thanks [05:09] zaccour: Good luck shopping! [05:09] kworld 120, clone of x8000a atsc/ntsc hybrid [05:09] PerryArmstrong: interrupts. you may need to learn/reverse engineer how to get a device initialized, as well [05:09] i have the firmware in /usr/lib [05:10] zaccour: And, like themurmish said, you'll also need one cable for each conneciton, so that's one for each machine plus one for from the router to the DSL modem or cable modem [05:10] Does anyone have any idea why I can't reach port 3001 (or any other port other than 80)? [05:10] andrewfree, you'll want to set up your /mnt/ directory like it was before you rebooted [05:10] I was installing Ubuntu 8.04 server and it failed at the package selection -- so i just installed grub and rebooted. Did I miss some important configurations steps? [05:10] just taking a stab, hoping someone is familiar with it, albeit a longshot [05:10] themurmish: Because there isn't a application that has that port opened [05:10] caeroe: I have my 878 card running on 8.04 right out of the box but its on a 32-bit distro. Do you have any SCSI cards installed? I had an issue with those [05:11] lockd; i have got so much information now...but what i need to know is its not normal C programming thats required for kernel programming..so how do i lern that [05:11] nope. my old atsc card worked flawlessly though :) but it's a paper weight now [05:11] any suggestions for ftp server and client program for Ubuntu? I want to be able to access the music on my desktop from my netbook without having to transfer 7 gigs at a time through a USB drive [05:11] PerryArmstrong: *very* carefully. The kernel has no memory manager. [05:11] lockd *learn that [05:11] Hobz: I have no idea what it was before I rebooted. hda and live is all thats in it now. [05:11] Heimark: yes [05:11] caeroe: did you just install the 8.10 64-bit? [05:11] er make that my old ntsc... durrr [05:12] andrewfree, The mkdir stuff should be in the install.pdf [05:12] sirstan; ohh what does this make sense of?? [05:12] Heimark: proftpd for the server and filezilla for the client [05:12] andrewfree, what step are you at? [05:12] themurmish: Depends on a lot, please explain what you're seeing in more detail, i.e. reach port 3001 from what machine to what machine? [05:12] PerryArmstrong: ... what did you just say? [05:12] i was using x64 bit, it could have been 8.04 back then [05:12] Heimark: setup samba sharing? thats what I do with my MP3 directory [05:12] Flare183: thank you [05:12] Serraphyn: That's also a good idea [05:13] how can i assign the harddrives listed in nautilus a name to be shown rather then there size? [05:13] caeroe: reason I'm asking is just cause you can try a quick install of 32 bit to see if it works. [05:13] i just found a wireless router for sale on lsn. do all wireless routers work fine on Ubuntu? [05:13] Hobz: root@bt:~# mke2fs /dev/sda1 but I was trying to find out what my flash drive was named. Being as its not sda1 [05:13] sirstan; if the kernel has no memory manager...what do i need to derive from this concept?? [05:13] I checked lsn before leaving to walmart and found a wireless router for 30 [05:13] andrew_, if you've found it, just continue with the steps. Your device shouldn't be mounted yet. [05:13] zaccour: you do know that the router has very little to anything to do with your OS [05:14] zaccour: err if connected via ethernet then yes [05:14] themurmish: If you're expecting something to be listening on port 3001 on your machine, you can check by doing the following form the shell on the same machine: a) telnet localhost 3001, then hit enter once or twice. [05:14] Serraphyn: I thought Samba was for Windows/Linux mixed systems [05:14] woops, andrewfree even [05:14] PerryArmstrong: its amazingly easy to crash yor system trying to develop kernel modules [05:14] ok thanks [05:14] themurmish: b) run netstat -lnp [05:14] basti: right click on the drive in nautilus's places menu and click rename [05:14] Heimark: it can do *nix to *nix, or nix to win [05:14] I having problems booting Ubuntu Luks with 2 harddrives, but booting with one works, Anyone seen this problem ? [05:14] andrewfree, there isn't even a filesystem to mount yet [05:14] true... [05:14] sirstan; ohh so this is what you meant...then how do we learn...we can't risk our systems..is there any simulation type [05:14] saysay: SATA? [05:15] PerryArmstrong: vmware? [05:15] SATA 2 raptors [05:15] Serraphyn: Heimark: however as a general rule *nix to *nix is better done with NFS :) [05:15] PerryArmstrong: Xen? [05:15] ziroday, this option is not accessable [05:15] PerryArmstrong: I would suggest either VirtualBox or QEmu for fiddling with kernels [05:15] basti: why not? [05:15] sirstan; that's a really awesome idea... [05:15] Hobz: but it has sda1 and sda2 I only have sdb1 the other drives are the internal ones that are my moms stuff. I dont want to touch that. [05:15] ziroday: true, but I use samba as most friends that come over to get on wireless use windows still and it makes life easier to just have a share they can connect to [05:15] themurmish netstat -lnp | grep 3001 [05:15] sorry, I might be a little slow, trying to use two computers at once [05:16] ziroday, how should i know. it is shown but i cant access it [05:16] lockd; i suppose Vbox is better as its sun product [05:16] better engineered [05:16] Serraphyn: sure, you should also check out giver. Its a neat tool for sharing files over a LAN and is cross platform [05:16] andrewfree, you say hda is the only directory in /mnt? [05:16] basti: err have you mounted the drive yet? [05:16] no [05:16] PerryArmstrong: poor assumption; but run with it. [05:16] there is live too Hobz [05:16] ziroday, sure. they are all in fstab [05:16] it may be detecting just a generic atsc card.... (preemptive "yay") [05:16] ziroday: true, I just tend to tell people the most headache free way that I've seen to avoid ongoing issues. [05:17] and Vbox will be even better after Sun is an IBM product ;) [05:17] VBox is generally easier to get running, though [05:17] andrewfree, don't worry about live, live is you. hda is your mom. ls /mnt/hda/ and you should see some windows stuff [05:17] basti: okay, and when right clicking the drive that option is just not there? [05:17] sirstan; i used vbox for running XP...so which according to you is better [05:17] ziroday, it is there, but it is "blanked" out [05:17] PerryArmstrong, just go with what you know until it breaks [05:17] basti: okay, thats because the hard drive is not mounted. Is there a mount option on the right click menu? [05:17] lol Hobz shes on osx. And hda has boot and BT4... 0.o === santiago is now known as sanzky [05:17] Hebz; thats a good [05:18] puff: , :claytronic netstat tells me that ruby is listening there. Everything else would be suprising since I cna reach the serve rfrom Firefox from the local machine [05:18] ziroday, they are mounted [05:18] mount -l proves that [05:18] basti: how are they mounted? [05:18] andrewfree, enter dmesg into a terminal [05:18] However it does neither work from my windows Laptop nor my gf's Mac [05:18] ziroday, like i said,listed in fstab [05:18] Hebz; thats a good idea...but i dont want to grow old experimenting each and everything only to leran when i become very old that this is what i have to use [05:18] Hobz: and? [05:19] Hebz; sometimes we have to learn from others experiences also [05:19] PerryArmstrong, that autocomplete is killing me, bro [05:19] PerryArmstrong: at least make sure you can get a serial terminal to communicate with the host os. if you can't, you're not ready for kernel programming [05:19] and there is no firewall running [05:19] Hebz; autocomplete?? [05:19] andrewfree, sorry, run dmesg | grep sdb [05:19] who are you talking to? [05:19] hobz or hebz? [05:20] basti: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive [05:20] so why the whole sudo thing [05:20] lockd; serialterminal?? [05:20] I can't kill processes from top [05:20] ziroday, no usb [05:20] basti: it will still work for sata/ide drives [05:20] themurmish: does nmap say it's listening [05:20] Hm, "fdisk -l" shows the USB flash disk at /dev/sdd1, but "sudo gparted /dev/sdd" says "cannot stat device sdd - no such file or directory" [05:21] is there any easy way to script password tries for gpg on the command line? Being the idiot that I am, I remember my key's passphrase... except for the (rather crucial) capitalization part... Given the length of the passphrase, there's still well over 100 possible combinations, and I don't have the patience to sit there that long >_< [05:21] Hobz: yes its in my logs/messages [05:21] themurmish: there's a good chance it's listening only on loopback [05:21] ziroday, will cheggit out [05:21] Ah-hah, "sudo gparted /media/disk" (which is where the flash drive is mounted) says it's mounted read-only. WTF? [05:21] themurmish: make sure Ruby is not set to only listen for local IP traffic [05:21] andrewfree, is there an sdb1? [05:21] lockd: How do I run nmap? [05:21] puff: you have to unmount the drive first [05:21] themurmish: nmap localhost [05:22] thx [05:22] Doh! [05:22] ziroday: Thanks. [05:22] it only shows the following: PORT STATE SERVICE [05:22] 631/tcp open ipp [05:22] 1527/tcp open tlisrv [05:22] 3001/tcp open nessus [05:22] 3306/tcp open mysql [05:22] themurmish: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:22] 8000/tcp open http-alt [05:23] themurmish: please put multilined outputs in pastebin [05:23] !pastebin | themurmish [05:23] themurmish: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:23] PerryArmstrong: serial console, it lets you forward the console to a terminal (like xterm) on the host OS [05:23] themurmish: I dont' know ruby's deal, but if you're setting it up in to work with apache, as is the case with java, then it's probably only accepting localhost connections on 3001 and apache should proxy to it using mod_proxy. [05:23] PerryArmstrong: otherwise, you won't have a way to copy and paste kernel errors [05:24] Request assistance with running ubuntu on my HP NC6000 laptop. [05:24] Sorry for the multiline post. I hardly ever use IRC. [05:24] Stimp1: what's your problem? [05:24] themurmish: Is that supposed to be ruby on port 3001 or some ruby app? [05:24] lockd; ohhh..so xterm is a terminal?? [05:24] themurmish: e.g. ruby on rails? [05:24] hello [05:24] Dont know if it is a driver prob or what. I cannot seem to mount my Card reader on this thing [05:25] themurmish: Also, you might want to check on #ruby for advice. [05:25] PerryArmstrong: actually a terminal emulator, like gnome-terminal, Terminal, rxvt, etc [05:25] puff: Ok it seems we identified the problem. I will try to fid how to solve this myself sinc eit seems to be a Rails (yes) problem [05:25] can some one help me with eclipse and ruby? [05:25] puff: Yeah I think so too. Thank you for helping me identify the problem! [05:25] themurmish: what exactly is this ruby server supposed to be doing anyway? [05:25] lol another Ruby problem [05:26] lampe: if we know whats wrong we can try [05:26] lampe: What's the problem? [05:26] jaem: There is. gpg can be used with an option that'll accept a passphrase (or another that'll take it from stdin). You can use something simple like clearsign to verify. [05:26] Hobz: yes there is sdb1 [05:26] a lot of interest in Ruby these days [05:26] i want to get eclipse work with ruby and i found a tut but the server dont work so i cant install ruby to eclipse [05:26] andrewfree, qtparted might help [05:26] Hobz: its in /dev [05:26] 0k [05:27] lockd: I am running redmine (redmine.org) which is a project managment software. It has a bug with Google chrome taht I wnat to fix. therefore I have to reach t with my laptop since Chrome is not available on Ubuntu yet [05:27] lockd; so which one do i use === _ is now known as Guest57585 [05:27] I understand that it could be a specific problem with the computer i have but is there something I can do to see if the card reader is even working? [05:27] jaem: Also, there's language bindings for gpg as well. [05:27] lampe: were you able to get RDT? [05:27] no [05:27] lampe the server hosting the Eclipse plugin? [05:27] andrewfree, how about an sdb2/3? [05:28] themurmish: and it is a standalone http server? [05:28] right so, Im trying to burn the 8.10 Server iso [05:28] but Nero keeps complaining about block size [05:28] something [05:28] Hobz: no thats the confusing part :/ [05:28] http://updatesite.rubypeople.org/release this is what i got [05:28] but it dont work [05:28] lockd: No as a Railsapp you have the choice bewteen diffeent servers. I am running Mongrel [05:28] andrewfree, type mount in a terminal and see what's mounted, don't mind the loop stuff [05:29] genii: thanks! At least my screen is a 1024x768, although I have no drivers, so my refresh rate is at 0 [05:29] can some one pls help :) [05:29] Hobz: no sdb 1,2, or 3.. figures they dont have a filesystem yet. [05:29] andrewfree, what about sda? [05:30] lampe Are you trying to install RadRails??? [05:30] andrewfree, sda might be your mom, then [05:30] nope [05:30] iam trying to develop ruby in eclipse [05:30] my mom is... let me look [05:30] themurmish: I'm searching for the listen option.. you might have better luck since you actually have the packages installed [05:31] yea my mom is not mounted [05:31] nick booty === default_ is now known as bootup [05:31] andrewfree, run qtparted from the menu, that should give you a list of attached devices [05:32] Anyone running Juanty? [05:32] much better [05:32] claytronic: try #ubuntu+1 [05:32] Hobz: got sda sdb and sdc [05:32] lockd: Listen option? [05:32] themurmish: mongrel_rails start has the option -a, address to bind to [05:32] puff: thanks! [05:33] Hobz: sdb is mine but there is only one partition... I created 3 [05:33] Keeerap. [05:33] hmmpf [05:33] andrewfree, let's worry about that later. Which step were you on? [05:33] cant get eclipse to deal with ruby .... [05:33] puff: quiet in there [05:33] Flare183: are you still around? [05:33] puff: no other nicks [05:34] Hobz: creating a file system on partition one. [05:34] So I tried to reformat the flash drive with gparted, which *seemed* to work, but when I ran usb-creator on it, usb-creator said it wasn't formatted. However, usb-creator offered to format it for me, so I said "yes". [05:34] Flannel: thanks - I must have missed that when I was looking into it [05:34] themurmish: bind it to your external address, not to 127.0.0.1 or localhost [05:34] Hobz: aka root@bt:~# mke2fs /dev/sda1 [05:34] andrewfree, enter that command and see what happens. Don't forget to change the device [05:34] However, it failed again with the same error popup saying look at .usb-create.log, which when I look at it, gets as far as installing the boot [05:34] maybe aptana will work [05:35] ...gets as far as "installing the bootloader to /dev/sdd1" and then exits with "Install command exited with code:: 256" [05:35] to sdb1 [05:35] k [05:35] Wtf? [05:35] lockd Ok I will try to find out how to do this from Aptana RadRails. Thank you very much! [05:36] any one know what the command is in dhcpd.conf that specifies to oply allow ip addresses to be provided to the network on that interface? [05:37] i mean to specify the dhcp server to provide adresses strictly through one ethernet connection [05:37] oh never mind [05:37] I had a corrupted download [05:37] :/ [05:37] ifconfig [05:37] andrewfree, is the world ending? [05:37] ups wrong window [05:38] The World Ends With You [05:38] Hobz: it looks all good :P [05:38] awesome [05:38] IT WORKS! [05:38] Iceman_B^Ltop, that's pretty sage [05:38] it's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine [05:38] cookies for whoever got the reference [05:38] :) [05:38] swim out past the breakers, watch the world die [05:38] lockd Thank you very much! You have been a greta help to me! [05:39] no DS players around I guess :) [05:39] no more references to bad 90s songs I swear :-> [05:39] I have a syntax question... when the menu.lst says "You can specify 'saved' instead of a number." should I edit to say default 'saved' or default saved [05:39] lampe I can recomment aptana [05:39] Hobz: but what now? in the next step it asks for sda2... I dont have a two :( [05:39] what does fdisk -l say? [05:40] So, I'm building a little stand-alone network of 10 machines, all booting off usb keys, with a router and switch connecting them. [05:40] Iceman_B^Ltop nope i am a PSP player myself [05:40] anyone here familir with grub? [05:40] However, I have no DNS server... is there a quick and dirty solution? [05:40] themurmish: yw [05:40] tophu: yes [05:40] Does ubuntu/linux still support using a hosts file? [05:41] Hobz: Im so confused... its mounted as sdb1 but it says its FAT32.. did I not just change it to ext3 [05:41] Ah, looks like it does, cool. [05:41] Tophu: I believe if you say default saved, it'll default to the last used GRUB entry [05:41] andrewfree, try the next command and see what happens [05:42] stormchas2000: the only thing I want to play on the PSP are DJMAX, Pangya and Idolm@ster =) [05:42] Hobz: using what drive? [05:42] ahhh ok so I'm better off specifying 5 so it will always default to my vista drive ... thank you very much lockd === sweety-girl is now known as andie === kevin_ is now known as uvacav [05:42] hey guys im trying to install grub on my usb hd i have tryed grub-install /media/disk no good [05:42] sdb2 [05:42] Hobz: its asking for a different partition of the flash drive :/ mk [05:42] is there any way to hide or make transparent the gnome panel applet handles? [05:42] hmm [05:42] anyone here play warhammer online in wine? I'm got a few questions about that I've been dieing to ask a live person (not getting help in the usual forums on on wineHQ.org) [05:43] andrewfree, I'd say you got a bad partition there [05:43] :/ [05:43] Ill try it anyways [05:43] yea [05:43] sdb2 does not exist. [05:43] gogeta: try doing /dev/sdwhatever instead of /media/disk and also prepend sudo [05:43] I think my flash drive has a bad sector.. should I get a new drive and try again? [05:44] ziroday said not a block device [05:44] gogeta: can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l please === bitfish is now known as bitFISH [05:44] lockd..so you didnt tell me what part of C programming do i need to learn for programming the kernel [05:45] Tophu: hmm Warhammer Online uses OpenGL so it'd be very likely to work [05:45] opps disconencted myself [05:45] I thought it used dx9 [05:45] PerryArmstrong: programming in C without all the fancy features having an operating system gives you [05:45] lockd UNIX?? [05:45] Hi. Do any of you have any idea what might cause FireFox to suddenly stop working? When I try to run it now it pops up in my taskbar like "Starting Firefox", then doesn't actually start =/ [05:46] Format of install_device not recognized is the error i get [05:46] my problem is I followed the directions on winehq to do the custom compile and I can get the patcher to load and it logs in and even runs updates but when I click play it dies out trying to load into the game ... no processes left running [05:46] Maslow: first do killall firefox, then do firefox [05:46] andrewfree, you can do that. Or you can do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1 count=1 bs=1024 to clear the drive and then try again [05:46] gogeta: can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l please [05:46] PerryArmstrong: you should know C extremely well for writing applications before you even think about kernel space [05:46] firefox does not launch from the live cd [05:47] so i cant pastbin [05:47] lockd; i haven't found any books in our college library upon that [05:47] Alright, "killall firefox" tells me no processes have been killed, then firefox tells me "Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.0.1 and 1.9.0.*." [05:47] gogeta: where are you trying to install grub too? [05:47] ziroday usb hardrive [05:47] Maslow: are you running jaunty? [05:47] gogeta: then you don't need to be in the livecd [05:47] gogeta: your normal ubuntu install will work fine [05:47] ziroday: 8.10 I believe. [05:47] ziroday linux is unbttable [05:48] are there any RC simulators for linux/ubuntu ? [05:48] ziroday it didnt install grub at all [05:48] Hobz: K round two [05:48] Maslow: can you make sure you are fully updated/upgraded and then restart [05:48] ziroday even the super grub cd refuses [05:48] I just installed Ubuntu from the Live CD, but the parition editor vanished, Where did it go and how do I get it back ? [05:48] anyone on a dell mini? [05:49] gogeta: okay, when doing sudo fdisk -l can you look for your usb hard drive and note down the /dev/sd path [05:49] !anyone | jofo [05:49] jofo: 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? [05:49] Iceman_B^Ltop: gparted [05:49] andrewfree, do that dd command anyway to wipe the drive, I think you may have had residual partitions tainting the last one [05:49] Iceman_B^Ltop: you need to install it, do sudo apt-get install gparted [05:49] zero007h [05:49] Hobz: did it:P [05:49] zeroconf [05:49] hm [05:49] * Iceman_B^Ltop smacks windows [05:49] Hobz: looks liek it went well no errors [05:49] :/ [05:50] andrewfree, dd? [05:50] Anyone know why my USB mouse keeps freezing up randomly? [05:50] be careful with dd, it can really mess you up. I deletes without mercy, and data recovery is a pain. [05:50] ziroday sdb 2 would be linux [05:50] gogeta: okay, then do sudo grub-install /dev/sdb [05:50] Hobz: yes, how can I completely rewipe it. when I tried to re do the partition thing sdb1 was still there. [05:50] ould not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device [05:51] lockd; any names of books you know or are they available online [05:51] gogeta: err, ubuntu is installed on that usb hard drive right? [05:51] andrewfree, same command, lose the 1 on sdb [05:51] yea [05:51] PerryArmstrong: well I don't know what books to suggest, and stuff like GTK and such changes so frequently I doubt a book would help too much [05:51] dev/sdb2 16912 19343 19535040 83 Linux [05:52] PerryArmstrong: I believe there is an O' Reilly kernel development book [05:52] umm [05:52] gogeta: okay, well you need to reinstall onto that usb hard drive [05:52] andrewfree, so of=/dev/sdb instead of of=/dev/sdb1 [05:52] linux is there [05:52] gogeta: how did you install to it last time? [05:53] ziroday; as lockd has mentioned that first we have to be strong with C that deals with kernel concepts or just before that...and i have seen that OReilly book kernel programming [05:53] Hobz: Umm it says building a new DOS disk label with disk identifier some mess changes will remain in memory only until you decide to write them.. WARNINGL invalid flag at 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite) [05:53] PerryArmstrong: sorry I misread, I thought you were looking for a book to guide you in kernel development [05:54] ziroday: I think he is, eventually :-). [05:54] andrewfree, ok [05:54] i cannot connect to my smtp [05:54] andrewfree, do you have another usb stick handy? [05:54] PerryArmstrong: What year are you in college? [05:54] hello. Does anyone know how I can add a second LDAP tree using openldap (on 8.10)? I've successfully added my first LDAP tree as dc=my,dc=com and such, but how can I add another as in dc=my2,dc=com on that? I've followed the ubuntu wiki and used dpkg-reconfigure slapd to get it started the first time, but using it again will actually just wipe the first tree [05:54] Hobz: yes, is that one just messed up? [05:54] ziroday eh [05:54] can someone help me debug it, i cannot connect to smtp using outlook [05:55] ziroday same way [05:55] andrewfree, it could be. I'd switch to a new one, try formatting it under windows first. for some reason that seems to help [05:55] gogeta: as in... [05:55] ziroday then used wingrub so iy didnt make cp unbottable [05:55] xp [05:55] How can I view the character map? [05:55] unbottable cp [05:55] ziroday; sure for kernel deelopment but like i'll use an example....if you want to learn OOPS concepts you obvioulsy have to have some experience with C..similarly i before i learn kernel programming..i have learn things that come before that [05:55] Hobz: I have osx.. ill do fat32 [05:55] *g* [05:55] puff; i didnt get you [05:55] gogeta: right, well I don't think you installed correctly. You need to reinstall with the livecd on that usb hard drive [05:56] andrewfree, sure, or you can wipe it with dd [05:56] fill it up with zeros [05:56] ziroday i have [05:56] ziroday twice [05:56] Hobz: I did that before when I got that error === Cfox-- is now known as Cfox- [05:56] shred works too, for wiping, no ? [05:56] gogeta: and how did you do that? Using the live cd installer? Using USB startup disk creator?

[05:56] Iceman_B^Ltop, it's nto as fast [05:56] * jeffwheeler is rather disappointed by the new login screen [05:56] (in the 9.04 beta) [05:56] gogeta: also if you are running jaunty you shouldn't be here. You need to be in #ubuntu+1 [05:57] Iceman_B^Ltop, not looking for secure deletion either [05:57] ok [05:57] jeffwheeler: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty questions/support/etc, Thanks [05:57] ziroday seems qwith every new build beta gurb doesent work [05:57] Hm... so when I installed the first USB key, it went pretty quickly, just a couple of minutes. Then the next one went really slow, 10 minutes or more. Maybe it somehow was in USB 2.0 at first and then switched over to USB 1.0? How would I check? [05:57] puff; i study at college...doing my graduation...BTech [05:57] Flannel: heh, thanks [05:57] gogeta: well anyway, go to #ubuntu+1 for jaunty support [05:57] HI [05:58] PerryArmstrong: Okay, so you're almost done? [05:58] puff; nope i still have 1 more year [05:59] PerryArmstrong: I was going to say that if you have a couple more years, take your time and figure out what sort of development work you are good at and enjoy doing. If that's kernel work or operating system work, then fine, but if not, there are plenty of ways you could contribute doing application programming. === k is now known as Guest44974 [06:00] puff; what kind of applications???

Please keep it friendly [06:00] !ot > sirstan [06:00] sirstan, please see my private message [06:01] Hobz: try two :/ === default_ is now known as bootup [06:02] how do i upgrade 8,04 lts to 8,10? [06:02] !upgrade | sirstan [06:02] sirstan: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [06:02] ubottu [06:02] awesome, good luck [06:02] when I have a terminal and I set the background to "transparent", the system tries to fool me [06:02] Hobz: its showing up weird [06:03] even after reformat. [06:03] by placing the desktop wallpaper exactly in the same spot, instead of really becoming transparent [06:03] how do I fix this ? [06:03] ziroday: Updating my system and restarting fixed the problem with firefox, thanks for the help :) [06:03] Iceman_B^Ltop: that trick has been around forever, it's called fake transparency [06:03] Iceman_B^Ltop: you must be using a compositing manager to have real transparency [06:03] thx [06:03] register williamson15 [06:03] oh [06:03] register password [06:04] never mind then [06:04] i have no audio on ubuntu 8.10 i get No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. [06:04] andrewfree, what's it showing? [06:04] hmm [06:04] PerryArmstrong: All kinds of applications. You might look around for open source projects that need help and get started that way. [06:04] hey guys, is it theoretically possible to expand/shrink an ext3fs partition, or is there no conceivable way to make it possible using ext3fs? [06:04] i can't register my name [06:04] it has a ton of shit about diffrnet physical/logical beginings [06:04] PerryArmstrong: Or you might try to find a small project that you can get done on your own (or with help). [06:04] PerryArmstrong: Here are two or three ideas: [06:04] andrewfree, please watch the language [06:05] !register > bn2knowitall_ [06:05] bn2knowitall_, please see my private message [06:05] quick noob question, so i need to know how to switch sound output from my sound card to onboard [06:05] PerryArmstrong: Here's an idea I had just today - installing ubuntu still isn't as easy as it should be. You have to download the ISO, make sure you got the whole thing and it's not corrupted, download a CD burner, burn the CD. [06:05] im having some trouble with sound in quake wars [06:06] puff: you CAN click "send me a free cd" :) [06:06] Hobz: ehh fixe dit [06:06] how easily does ms office install with the ubuntu packaged wine these days? because i used linux for years but went back to windows for school for msoffice... anyone had any major luck with it? [06:06] puff; we have a GNU LINUX developers here in my locality...though its a bit far off..they have made an OS called eswecha for all engineering colleges in our state....like it contains all softwares that students require...so i wanted to contribute to the coding of OS... [06:06] you also get some bumper stickers [06:06] how can i get a update the kernel? [06:06] sirstan: Yeah, but I want it to be even easier :-). I want to make every ubuntu user a carrier :-). [06:06] keith-: o2k3 installs i think. you'd be better off running vmware/vbox [06:06] PerryArmstrong: There's a windows open source CD burner that the ubuntu install page recommends. What if you wrapped the iso image in a windows EXE of the cd burner, sort of like a self-extracting zip file? [06:06] puff;continue ith your idea === k is now known as Guest42307 [06:07] omg Hobz now it says unable to open sdb with fdisk.. wtf [06:07] ivan_: sudo apt-get update but if you want a custom then you have a shitton of extra steps [06:07] unmount it [06:07] ivan_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [06:07] how do i switch sound output from a sound card to on board sound [06:07] in fact, reboot [06:07] alright, looking for a little help setting up an ftp server, just to connect one nix comp to another nix comp [06:07] puff: developing windows apps to support Ubuntu seems strangly wrong still. [06:07] k [06:07] Heimark: use SCP. [06:07] puff; i dint quite understand with the exe part [06:07] PerryArmstrong: And also made a "net install" version, where it's an EXE that includes the CD burner and will look at the machine to figure out the right iso to get, then fetches it and install sit. [06:07] sirstan: eh ok. i am kind of stuck on 2k7 atm. that's unforunate. i have seen some good reports online but can't really afford to install a new os atm if i can't keep it. i miss linux dearly. wish i had a bigger harddrive in this lappy [06:07] PerryArmstrong: Do you know what a self-extracting zip file is? [06:07] i disabled my onboard in bios, but that's just me [06:07] sirstan: thanks for the info [06:08] andrewfree, you copy the OS directly from the live version to the HD, so change as little as possible while installing [06:08] PerryArmstrong: A similar idea would be a program to easily make custom live CDs (adding extra packages). [06:08] i didn't have any sound output options in my bios menu [06:08] sirstan: ty, I'll give that a look [06:08] keith-: i havent tried o2k7... if the interwebs say it works .. it works? [06:08] thats why im asking you guys/gals [06:08] like the zip file extracts on its own/...i know only the mening === andie is now known as an [06:09] Hobz: I have no changed like anything [06:09] PerryArmstrong: And yet another similar program would be something like the net install idea, only it would be a gnome application that is installed into your ubuntu system. You're talking to a friend and they say they'd like to try ubuntu, so you just click "System/Admin/Make an Ubuntu Live CD" [06:09] I am going to be travling for a while.. what command line parameters do i use with wget to download the internet? [06:09] PerryArmstrong: A self-extracting zip file is where a relatively small "executable" (i.e a program.exe) is wrapped around a large chunk of data. [06:09] The data would be the archive file. [06:09] puff; you mean instsaall from another system === an is now known as andie [06:10] sirstan: i might just get a little drunk and give it a try to jaunty ... if i feel frisky [06:10] You probably wouldn't be able to actually install from another system, because you wouldn't be able to partition the target system's hard drive. [06:10] But it'd be sweet to make it trivially easy to create a new Ubuntu CD. [06:10] anyone here have ubuntu on an x58 system? [06:10] One-click Ubuntu LiveCD creation. [06:10] phewww... nothing was more frustrating then my tuner + mythtv. i just had to quit === andie is now known as an [06:10] Alright, I don't think SCP is what I'm looking for. [06:11] i was getting nowhere after several hours [06:11] Heimark: why not? it will transfer files between two machines [06:11] heh === an is now known as mboh [06:11] Hobz: should I use something else [06:11] Heimark: what are you trying to do? [06:11] switched to my netbook [06:11] puff; thats a very good idea....and i faced the problem as you said but i never got stuck with this idea... [06:11] puff, PerryArmstrong: Mind taking the non-support to #ubuntu-offtopic? Thanks [06:11] any new software in ubuntu? [06:11] it says WARNING GPT (GUID partition table) detected on sdb the util fdisk does not support GTP use GNU Parted [06:11] Flannel: sure. [06:11] Heimark: trying to set up a file server? [06:11] yes [06:12] for personal use for the most part [06:12] Flannel; are you human or bot?? [06:12] PerryArmstrong: A person. [06:12] Heimark: scp is a convenient and secure means for that. [06:12] Heimark: you probably want to use sftp, or just use scp [06:12] puff; good for him [06:12] andrewfree, instead on? [06:12] of* [06:12] How do I figure out if a USB device is USB 2.0 or 1? [06:12] PerryArmstrong: /join #ubuntu-offtopic. [06:12] puff; yes joined...i'll chat fromthere [06:12] PerryArmstrong: Remember, open source is a community, not a product. Being a good community member is what makes it work. [06:13] I've used ftp before in "the other OS" but I'm only about a month into Ubuntu so I might need a crash course on SCP [06:13] puff: lsusb -v [06:13] Heimark: scp user@host:/folder/ [06:14] or scp user@host:/folder/file . [06:14] Heimark: Just use sftp. It'll be transparent. [06:14] I'll give that a look see [06:14] PerryArmstrong: For the record, you're not currently in #ubuntu-offtopic, /join #ubuntu-offtopic will get you there though.

[06:16] !flash | devon [06:16] devon: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:16] 1 gig [06:17] sirstan: 2 Gigs [06:17] ghindo: then why do you want 64bit? [06:17] ok [06:17] thanks :) [06:17] sirstan: I dunno. I just saw some people on the forums talkin' about it and wondered if it was worth a try [06:18] ghindo: no, 64bit has some problems and also you dont need it with lees then 4gb ram [06:18] ghindo: you wont have any benefit with < 4gb ram.. and even with 4gb its marginal (3.5->4gb) [06:18] you don't NEED 64bit either way, with PAE even a 32bit os can use more ram than 4gb [06:18] ghindo: but go ahead... it WILL work. [06:18] My sound volume is tooo low compared to Windows [06:19] whst do i need to do [06:19] ???? [06:19] iceroot, sirstan: Cool, thank you for your information and help! [06:19] there are other advantages to 64bit operation though, more registers is a big one [06:19] arshad: perhaps maximize the volume in alsa itself [06:19] mrsteveman1: yes pae supports more then 4gb ram but not more then 4gb ram for ONE process [06:19] how to do that [06:19] lockd [06:19] ??? [06:19] mrsteveman1: yeah, but pae causes overhead [06:20] arshad: I'll have to check, not using alsa currently [06:20] arshad: alsamixer -c 0 [06:20] what is "formatting language" for text processors? [06:21] wheres the location [06:21] so i can change [06:21] lockd [06:21] Location of Alsamixer [06:22] ok... webcam error, my cam worked yesterday, and not today, its seen by ubuntu, but nothing seems to think its availible, dmesg says usb 2-1.3.1: usb_submit_urb() failed, error -28, i belive thats my webcam, as thats the most recent change after replugging it [06:22] arshad: its in the PATH, so just type the command [06:22] alsamixer should be installed, unless Ubuntu switched from alsa which I highly doubt [06:22] lockd: pulseaudio in newer versions imo [06:22] arshad: it's in your path, so in Gnome-terminal type 'alsamixer -c 0' sans quotes [06:23] iceroot: yeah, but it still uses alsa as the backend [06:23] lockd: ok [06:23] iceroot: and that's the issue... the mixers hide the alsa values, causing things to be muted or lowered [06:23] lockd: yes i have this on my netbook, the mixer in the panel is different to my hotkeys (fn) [06:24] currently I'm using OSS. it's all that works with my hardware, and as of jaunty it's integrated quite well [06:24] any recommended new apps for ubuntu? [06:24] ash_: ?? [06:25] looking for new apps [06:25] ash_: for what? [06:25] <_VIM_> ash_: that's a very broad subject [06:25] #ubuntu0day? [06:25] ok got it [06:25] anything [06:25] but unable to increase the volume [06:25] by mouse [06:25] ash_: apt-cache search * | more and have fun [06:25] lockd [06:26] ok got it [06:26] but unable to increase the volume [06:26] lockd [06:26] arshad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:26] during server install i didnt install the lamp package. is there a one step command to instlal php apache etc? [06:26] apt-get install lamp-server ? [06:26] sirstan: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql [06:27] ok... webcam error, my cam worked yesterday, and not today, its seen by ubuntu, but nothing seems to think its availible, dmesg says usb 2-1.3.1: usb_submit_urb() failed, error -28, i belive thats my webcam, as thats the most recent change after replugging it [06:27] sirstan: mysql-server it is called [06:27] arshad: I'm currenly using mercurial opensound, so not much I can do to help. nor can I recommend installing anything else [06:27] the lamp package installed a bit more than thta though... [06:27] sirstan: you could also try sudo tasksel install lamp-server [06:27] sirstan: lamp = linux apache mysql php :) so apache2 php5 mysql-server [06:27] thanks lstarnes [06:28] iceroot: I don't think the php5 package includes the php5 module for apache [06:28] ok i just got me a switch [06:28] iceroot: he lap task installs more fun stuff. [06:28] lstarnes: it does [06:28] how come the network switch only works when its unplugged?? [06:30] zaccour: surely you don't expect an answer for that question. [06:30] arshad: what sound card do you have, anyway? [06:31] can i use Mercurial Open Sounf [06:31] Sigmatel Audio [06:31] QPrime, actually its not what it seemed [06:31] my sound card is Sigmatel Audio [06:31] zaccour: clarify :) [06:32] i have my ethernet cable plugged into the switch, and it connects auto etho when unplugged, but when i plug in the ac adapter it disconnects it [06:32] arshad: hmm, OSS probably supports STAC better. OSS just had a release recently so you actually can, but you might want to ask on #linux [06:32] and at no time is it transmitting the signal to my ps3 [06:32] hey guys how do i make metacity my default window manager perminantly? [06:32] how do i got to #linux [06:32] arshad: as Ubuntu probably won't support that [06:32] arshad: /join #linux [06:32] hello There is the chinese people will say it? [06:33] arshad: although technically it's ##linux but #linux points there === bitFISH is now known as bitfish [06:33] !vnc devon [06:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about vnc devon [06:33] !vnc | devon [06:33] devon: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.

[06:33] zaccour: prolly not an ubuntu issue... I'll msg you. [06:34] Ethereal: install ext3 drivers [06:34] Ethereal: vmware? [06:34] QPrime, ok [06:34] iceroot: There are ext3 drivers for 64 bit vista? that work with ubuntu 8.10 ? [06:34] hey guys how do i make metacity my default window manager perminantly? [06:34] what is "formatting language" for text processors? [06:34] Ethereal: they dont have to work with ubuntu, just have to work with windows :) [06:34] Ethereal: and yes there are 64bit ext3 drivers [06:35] iceroot: the default block size of ubuntu 8.10 ext3 fs stops most of the windows tools from working with it, like explore2fs [06:35] Ethereal ext drivers for windows are pretty unstable [06:35] iceroot: do you have a link by any chance? [06:35] hey guys how do i make metacity my default window manager perminantly? [06:35] whats everyones fetish with 64bit os's [06:35] Ethereal: sorry only google [06:35] >4gb memory space. [06:35] sirstan: they think its faster or better, dont know [06:35] hehe [06:35] actualy its slower [06:35] it just looks pretier [06:36] #rewt c0wsm00 [06:36] sirstan: higher number must be better [06:36] Ethereal: you need >4gb per app? [06:36] hehe [06:36] sirstan very large ram support like 128gb [06:36] i want to do 16gb ram and give 8gb to vbox [06:36] sirstan: it's not 4gb per app, it's 4gb total. [06:36] :) [06:36] you can't have more than 4gb ram on a 32 bit system. [06:36] Ethereal: with pae its 4gb per app [06:36] I have 16. [06:36] sirstan all new prossers support 64bit even my little atom [06:36] Ethereal: not true [06:36] hey guys how do i make metacity my default window manager perminantly? [06:36] Ethereal: on 32bit [06:36] etherreal what OS do u use [06:36] !repeat | xenile [06:36] xenile: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[06:38] gogeta: becuase theres no advantage. [06:38] unless you have 16gb ram :) [06:38] Ethereal: yes but we are talking only about good systems [06:38] xenile: try going to system > preferences > appearance > visual effects > none [06:38] sirstan better multithreding large ram support [06:38] sirstan so there is [06:38] gogeta: 64bit has better multithreading? [06:39] gogeta: needing over 4gb ram is still a special use case [06:39] iceroot yea mre threds [06:39] iceroot: I'm not.. You said "why use 64 bit?" and I was specifically talking about vista, so, there's a pretty obvious reason, it'd be like saying "anyone know where to buy a new snowboard?" and then you respond with "Why snowboard? Snowmobiles are so much better" [06:39] more [06:39] hi all [06:39] isn't there a bit of a gap between hardware capabilities and OS capabilities right now? [06:39] Ethereal: have not read you mean vista, because we are in #ubuntu so i thoughj you mean linux [06:39] wow that was easy [06:39] figured it out [06:39] i got a question about a computer ill gonna buy monday... this will look stupid for you prolly [06:39] thx anyway guys [06:40] Ethereal: people have just been pooping their pants over 64bit.. im sure 0.5% of users have >4gb ram and 0.025 need to ever use more than 4b. [06:40] gb [06:40] iceroot i love my atom in 64bit mode apps fly [06:40] iceroot: The question was "how do you access ext3 fs partitions created with ubuntu 8.10 under 64 bit vista" how can you not read the very last word of the sentence? :) [06:40] on a server computer with 2 proc, should i ll put the 2 same cpu inside ? [06:40] nemera: you NEED to put the smae cpu. [06:40] ( for installing a Kubuntu 64bits on [06:40] thanks [06:40] Ethereal: because i am chatting with more then one people and dont remeber all words in here, i am sorry [06:40] So... here's a question, I've been configuring these Ubuntu Live CD USB flash drives to just use all the available space for persistence. [06:40] nemera: and their stepping needs to be matched usually [06:41] ok [06:41] is anyone in here blackbelt level? [06:41] However, I have to get a good whack of stuff *on* to those things. [06:41] and for a server how many ram should ill have ? [06:41] 4Go ? [06:41] About 500 MB.

So was wondering 2 things [07:31] hehe [07:31] i now use ubuntu [07:32] Tophu: there might be an 'uninstall' section in it's Makefile [07:32] and gOS based ubuntu hardy [07:32] just installled it tonight [07:32] 1. Can I delete the dell diagnostic partition and use the CD that came with my system? [07:32] Tophu: if there isn't you're going to try to delete stuff manually [07:33] 2. Do I need to put root in a primary partition? [07:33] tried 64 bit on sony vaio vgn sz750b but lock ups, tried 32 bit and so far so good [07:33] Sapta: there's no problem with creating root on an extended partition [07:33] Tophu go to the source dir where you compiled and run sudo make uninstall [07:33] hey anyone have the default sysctl.conf located in /etc/ufw/ ? that they can send me please? [07:33] yes [07:33] @clearscrern thanks ^_^ I'm sort of a noon and I'm on irc from my phone. can you give me a link to a tutorial on how to find that uninstaller? [07:33] Sapta: on this laptop, swap and /home are on primaries, while root is on extended [07:33] Tophu: exactly what Dunkin just said [07:34] Tophu: just get source, and instead of compiling, just hit 'sudo make uninstall' [07:34] @dublin thanks I'll try that ^_^ I sec gotta vnc in [07:34] dayo: that's a solution. Do I need /home? And I do, does it need to be on primary partition? [07:34] stupid iPhone auto type grr [07:34] Tophu: been there :( [07:35] Sapta you just need to have a / partion sub directories will be created within [07:35] Sapta: yes, you need a /home. it can be on any type of partition. if you don't put it on a partition, it will automatically be made on your root partition [07:35] ok back in a flash huray for vnc [07:35] afallenhope: its on its way [07:35] Sapta: i put /home on a primary, because i want to be able to retain my data, in case i need to reinstall. but no, u do not need to explicitly create /home. it would be created for u under / [07:35] how do i install a tgz fuke [07:36] !pastbin > jdimond [07:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastbin [07:36] file* [07:36] !paste > jdimond [07:36] jdimond, please see my private message [07:36] Sapta: although keeping it on a separate partition will make it easier to back up and would allow you to keep it more easily if you decided to change distributions [07:36] devon: first, extract the file with tar xzf file.tgz [07:36] hi [07:36] hey [07:36] looking for xampp for ubuntu [07:36] devon: then, cd to the directory created by that command and look for a readme or install file [07:37] how would i do that first step [07:37] !xampp > pawan1234 [07:37] pawan1234, please see my private message [07:37] afallenhope-> http://pastebin.com/m5cb014a0 [07:37] istnarnes [07:37] istarnes* [07:37] devon: L [07:37] devon: go to applications > accessories > terminal [07:37] im there [07:37] pawan1234: xampp is an old and unmaintained project, if you're looking for something similar, try audacious [07:37] had a problem with my video drivers, rebooted into the diagnostic kernel and was able to get root access w/out a password [07:37] i have the terminal open === C0nn0R_ is now known as C0nn0R [07:38] and the tgz file on my desktop [07:38] package* [07:38] but theres no install file in it [07:38] devon: now type cd Desktop [07:38] i want to intall phpbb3 on my system [07:38] devon: after that, use the first command I gave you [07:39] ok [07:39] Greetings [07:40] Does/Will ext4 have backwards compatibility with ext3 and ext2? [07:40] thats it for tonight ( ta, ta, ta, ) [07:40] Psuedo: u should probably ask in the dev channel [07:40] Psuedo: it has backwards compatibility for ext3 [07:40] But not ext2? [07:40] (need it for Windows Driver) [07:40] Psuedo: if it is fully compatible with ext3, that likely includes ext2 [07:41] do you know for sure? [07:41] Psuedo: If you' [07:42] re accessing from windows, you're probably better off waiting till 9.10 [07:42] question for you guys, is it possible to mount a windows formated dynamic drive? ive been searching for a bit and havent seem to stumble on the answer [07:42] dynamic drive? [07:42] Psuedo: assuming that the wikipedia entry is correct, ext4 is backwards-compatible with ext3 and ext2 [07:42] windows joke of a raid [07:42] wow looks like I have multiple vwrsioms installed [07:42] hello [07:43] is there a way to print just 2 columns from a text file which has a huge matrix ? [07:43] semanticpc: man cut [07:43] semanticpc: check out the man pages for cut [07:43] fdisk shows SFS [07:43] micahg: lol [07:43] after sudo make uninstall is there any way I can verify I'm clean and ready for freash install? [07:43] k thanks [07:43] Tophu sudo make clean [07:44] is ubuntu aware of free root access on boot in jaunty? [07:44] how to install phpbb forum on ubuntu [07:44] micahg: with recovery mode? yes [07:44] thanks [07:44] pawan1234: do you have apache, php, and mysql installed? [07:44] pawan1234: sudo apt-get install phpbb3 [07:45] no [07:45] rww: are there plans to fix it [07:45] !lamp > pawan1234 [07:45] pawan1234, please see my private message [07:45] or do I just need to set a root passwd [07:45] I just used the wubi installer and installed linux, and it says there are lots of updates available what are all the updates for? there are 300 of them [07:45] i want to connect to a friend's computer through vnc and we're both behind a router. how would i have to insert the host address to connect to him? [07:45] micahg: it's not a bug. you should set a GRUB password. [07:45] Can somebody PM me about Ubuntu? Just a quick question regarding compatibility. [07:46] micahg: it's supposed to be accessible through recovery mode in case you cannot use the system in normal mode [07:46] rww: I didn't know grub had a separate password [07:46] just ask in the chat mike? [07:46] lstarnes: with debian, you use the system root passwd [07:46] ok so how much space should be optimum for / directory and /home directory separately? [07:46] micahg: normally, you would only be able to access recovery mode if you had physical access [07:46] lstarnes: agreed, but I have a lappy [07:46] micahg: by default, ubuntu has the root account locked without a password [07:47] micahg: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and see the comments to the "password" option [07:47] lstarnes: also, you don't want anyone to be able to reboot you system and start editing files [07:47] dayo: If I put / and /home on separate logical drives, can't I retain /home after reinstall? [07:47] micahg: also change "lockalternatives=false" to "lockalternatives=true" [07:47] BURN THE INFIDEL! [07:47] micahg: and then run sudo update-grub [07:47] Sapta: yes [07:47] dayo: yes [07:48] s/alternatives/alternative/ [07:48] billywayne: ? [07:48] Just wondering if there is a list of compatible programs. I have a ton of office software that I hope to be able to use with this OS. [07:48] wups sorry [07:48] lol [07:48] hello [07:48] rww: what other effect will that have? [07:49] how to setup phpbb on ubuntu [07:49] using xampp [07:49] pawan1234, read the links sent you and stop repeating [07:49] micahg: it'll require you to enter the grub password before editing anything in the grub boot menu or starting recovery mode [07:49] !xampp | pawan1234 [07:49] pawan1234: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. [07:49] !lamp | pawan1234 [07:49] pawan1234: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [07:50] rww: if I set a root passwd will the recovery screen use that? [07:50] pawan1234, take the time to do some reading above ^^ [07:50] micahg: I don't know; setting a root password is not a particularly good idea. [07:50] !noroot [07:50] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [07:50] etc. [07:51] i'm looking to get an ssh account with the server running ubuntu. I see shellweb.net has ubuntu. is this a reputable service? [07:51] Is there a list of compatible programs? I have a ton of office software that I hope to be able to use with this OS. [07:51] Mike|26-Away: Made for what OS? [07:51] Ubuntu [07:51] ton of office software? like? word? [07:52] billywayne, why not just make your own server? [07:52] or do you mean general software you use in the office? [07:52] My office software. Not MS Office. I could use open office for that. [07:53] rww: how do I encrypt the boot passwd [07:53] I have programs that do not offer Linux support so I didn't know if these would work with Ubuntu [07:53] Mike|26-Away: is that software written for windows? [07:53] Yes [07:53] hello! is there anyone who cold help i just bought linksys wusb 54g ver 4 but when i use lsusb ang dmesg its not showing up [07:53] Mike|26-Away: in that case, you may be able to run at least some of it using wine [07:53] micahg: if you set one, it will be encrypted [07:53] kindofabuzz: no hardware at the moment. just a couple of laptops. and I'm not sure how/if I'm going to use the service. I have a use case for it, but don't have the hardware and don't want to fool with complications. [07:53] Hello [07:53] i tried it in windows and its working [07:53] thank you all so much for all the help tonight. both with wine and the grub issue from earlier. you will probably see me here at least a fee more times over the next week ad I try to move as much as I can over to ubuntu. ^_^ have a wonderful night all [07:54] lstarnes: wine is? [07:54] billywayne, turn the laptop into a server. =) i have my server on a 500Mhz P3, runs great [07:54] Mike|26-Away: wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on linux and other unix-like operating systems [07:54] rww: I was wondering if people should be warned about this passwordless autoroot [07:54] /quit [07:54] !wine [07:54] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help [07:55] micahg: type "grub" in a terminal to pull up the grub prompt. type "md5crypt" at that prompt. Enter a password when it asks for one. Copy and paste the stuff after "Encrypted:" into menu.lst [07:55] Thanks lstarnes & joot [07:55] passwordless autoroot? [07:55] billywayne: micahg is unhappy about recovery mode [07:55] Micahg. I think a lot do know.. [07:56] joot: I've been using ubuntu for 1.5 years and this is the first I've heard of it [07:56] oh. yeah. that's a vector all right. [07:56] single user mode? [07:56] how to left align a field ? i am using cat piped with cut [07:56] Micahg. I still think a lot do know :) [07:57] joot: ok [07:57] hello [07:57] hello room, is there a aim client for linux that looks like ichat? [07:57] compguy1011: pidgin [07:57] semanticpc: meaning you're just trying to strip whitespace from the beginning of the line? [07:57] One more question. This may be totally noobsauce though. Will my drivers still work with Ubuntu? [07:57] thats what im using but dont like it [07:58] compguy1011: why? [07:58] pidgin [07:58] no use in worrying over single user mode. can't someone boot a livecd and chroot with root privilidges anyway? [07:58] i want the text to look like it does on ichat [07:58] Micahg. Even with an encrypted boot pass some one who has physical access to your machine can still "get in" [07:58] compguy1011: There is a plugin called "iChat Timestamps" built in [07:58] It's not on, though [07:58] tonyyarusso: there is a matrix in the file and the fields have different number of digits [07:58] You can turn it on by checking a box [07:59] compguy1011: After that, best I can think of. [07:59] joot: yes, but it's a lot easier if a passwd is required [07:59] One more question. This may be totally noobsauce though. Will my drivers still work with Ubuntu? [07:59] *harder [07:59] Mike|26-Away: Maybe. [07:59] joot: as in someone can't wreak havoc in less than a minute [07:59] Dayum... [07:59] without being too bvious [07:59] I udnerstand your point though [07:59] Mike | 2- away, possiblibly not but the linux drivers may [08:00] I will concede [08:00] lavacano201014, hm, doesn't look any different [08:00] Mike|26-Away: windows drivers usually aren't compatible with the linux kernel, but there are wappers for certain types of drivers, such as ndiswrapper for ndis-based networking drivers [08:00] compguy1011: It won't affect IMs and things that have already occured [08:00] semanticpc: Would you mind pastebining (http://paste.ubuntu.com/) a sample line or three of input and desired output? I'm not sure I understand. [08:00] compguy1011: But next time someone sends you an IM, it should be iChatified [08:00] thanks for all the help [08:00] compguy1011: Try closing your IM windows first though, to be sure [08:00] Awesome, thanks. I'll keep reading. [08:01] Take care guys/gals [08:01] Micahg. I agree with you. It just is really hard to make it impossible for some one to enter your machine [08:01] lavacano201014, ya i did... i guess im looking for a theme more or less [08:02] ok, final question: do swap need to be on primary partition? or can it work from a logical partition? [08:02] Sapta: it can be either [08:03] tonyyarusso: http://pastebin.com/m4f5a6f07 i want just the first 5 columns [08:05] thanks everyone [08:05] semanticpc: cut -d " " -f1-5 [08:06] ok anyone know how to remove all of your panels in gnome cant seem to get the last one removed??? [08:06] yes but i want the fields to be left aligned dayo [08:07] HAPPY BIRFDAY SARA U IZ 18!!!!!! [08:07] Is there a VNC server that works out of the box? [08:08] semanticpc: well, they should be by default [08:08] i boot my system through ubunut live cd, it didnt go in GUI, the background process only come. what is the problem? [08:08] oppps sorry i want it right aligned ....its mainly because i wanna compare many files like this [08:09] what packages do i need to get some eye candy? [08:09] sumal, my guess is that you do not have enough memory [08:09] and cool effects [08:09] greeting all just want to ask why in cache squid when i reboot as if all cache gone need to re-cache again if anyone know. thanks :) [08:10] suma1, have you tried the disk on another system to ensure its a good burn. [08:10] .. how do i unmount a sshfs session / folder ? [08:10] semanticpc: If that info is in a file named sample, 'cut -d\ -f 1-5 sample' (Note the double space) [08:10] macman: fusermount -u [08:10] illumin8: ya i tried it another one, from there it is installed [08:10] lstarnes, can i ge the whole command ? [08:11] macman: fusermount -u directory [08:11] suma1, there are a few possiblities, one would be the system didnt load right. Another would be your hardware is not supported (grapic cards etc) [08:11] thanks [08:11] sumal, so haw much memory do you have [08:11] how [08:11] tonyyarusso: do you know the option for right align in such an output ? [08:11] suma1, Try using the disk with your intergrated jack instead of your grapic card, if applicable. [08:12] joot: 250gb [08:12] suma1, ram. [08:12] semanticpc: u could try this: assume your file is called thisFile: cut -d " " -f1-5 | cat > outputThisFile [08:12] semanticpc: As in align it to the right of your terminal window? [08:12] 512 mb [08:12] semanticpc: u could try this: assume your file is called thisFile: cut -d " " -f1-5 | cat > outputThisFile.odt [08:12] but i install another OS openfiler in it. [08:13] dayo: The second most definitely won't do what you think. [08:13] semanticpc: then open outputThisFile.odt with OpenOffice and right-align there [08:13] haha. I think I just got a "virus". something messed up my firefox for sure. [08:13] tonyyarusso: yea right of terminal [08:13] dayo: also, completely unnecessary use of cat, and I'm not sure it would even work. [08:13] semanticpc: I'm not even sure if that's possible... [08:13] illumin8: then wat to do? [08:13] dayo: it wont righ align my text [08:14] suma1, do you also have a grapic card on your system? [08:14] tonyyarusso: it is possible for sure ..... i have seen someone do it ....... k ill search [08:14] semanticpc: u could try this: assume your file is called thisFile: cut -d " " -f1-5 > outputThisFile.odt [08:14] remoteCTRL, are you here? [08:15] don't know, how check it? [08:15] semanticpc: it will if u open the resulting odt in OpenOffice [08:15] suma1, sometimes linux is fussy with certian cards, i would test your system without the card installed. if it still fails you may want to consider a os with more focus on low ram. [08:15] suma1, on the back of your pc, is the monitor plugged into a pci slot or the upper part of your tower. [08:15] ok anyone know how to remove all of your panels in gnome cant seem to get the last one removed??? [08:15] suma1, gernerally speaking pci would indicate a grapic card installed. [08:16] dayo: i just want it printed out ..... i gotta do this for like 30 files [08:16] k i check it now [08:16] semanticpc: damn [08:16] semanticpc: that's all i got. sorry. [08:16] dayo: why are you giving it a .odt extension? That's only going to confuse people, since it definitely will not be an ODT file. [08:17] bosco: goto preferences>sections and then current sessions and remove gnome-panel [08:17] bosco: alternatively you could set the last panel to auto-hide [08:17] dayo: just having a .odt extension does not mean that a file is in the opendocument text format [08:18] How can I change a time to summer time from console. (with command "date")? I cant undestand man date or date --help. Give me command please if you can [08:18] jdimond, yes but there is no gnome-panel in sessions that is my problem? [08:19] sumal, you need 350mb of ram for the live install [08:19] lstarnes: i tried it and it worked. i was able to open it in 00o [08:19] can someone help me with these upgrade errors? [08:19] No one know. by [08:19] illumin8: the,n what i do? [08:19] dayo: it likely read the file and determined that it was plaintext [08:19] sumal, sorry I missed you last input I am out.. [08:20] bosco: brb... ...reboot [08:20] suma1, is there a grapic card? [08:20] no [08:20] but before it work [08:20] lstarnes: yeah [08:21] suma1, ubuntu worked previously? [08:21] yes [08:21] hey everyone I have a issue can not seem to figure it out. I have two ide harddrive in this box and itis entirly linux, right now just ubuntu and i do not want to test on it so i want to make it all ubuntu i formated the slave drive as ext3 how can i make it so ubuntu will mount it so i can save to it and make it a storage area. [08:21] after install the openfiler OS it makes problem [08:21] suma1, im not fimilar with openfiler, i assume its a lilo boot? [08:22] slimjim: edit /etc/fstab [08:22] openfiler is an embedded nas system [08:22] u know how on aim u can change ur sn from like compguy to COMPGUY, how do u do that on pidgin? [08:23] openfiler is a shared vm? [08:23] is everyone having upgrade & apt-get errors or is it just me? [08:23] clearscreen ok can you be specific or tell me were i can read a how to. i have been around linux some time but never really dove in head first. now i have no choice it is my only OS =) [08:23] !fstab | slimjim [08:23] slimjim: 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 [08:23] ok [08:23] clearscreen thanks [08:24] ya shared vm [08:24] semanticpc: have a look at this: http://student.northpark.edu/pemente/sed/sed1line.txt [08:24] good morning people :) [08:25] !hi | Abigail_ [08:25] Abigail_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [08:25] helli! iam using 9.04 beta and it works just fine! and my ati 2100 for the first time works fine :) [08:26] u know how on aim u can change ur sn from like compguy to COMPGUY, how do u do that on pidgin? [08:26] Muhammad_Negm1: Glad to hear it! Although, Jaunty talk happens in #ubuntu+1 so as to avoid confusion. [08:26] thanks [08:27] suma1, after reading up on Openfiler it seems it has config issues. It may be better to ask them on the forums. [08:27] dayo: thnks something like this will help i guess [08:27] oh forgot one thing. What would be the optimum size for swap, / and /home all on separate partitions? [08:27] semanticpc: yeah, i haven't used sed before, but i thought it might be the right tool [08:28] Sapta: i usually go 2xRAM size for swap. and for slash home, i subtract about 10-15GB for / and give the remainder to /home [08:29] wow... I just had one of those famous pop ups in firefox "your system has been infected", it made firefox go full screen. is there anything I should be checking? [08:29] Is there any way to set overall gain for sound? My system is too quiet [08:29] Heimark, I recommend NoScript, firefox addon. [08:29] dayo: don't say remainder, plz ;) what's the size for /home? [08:30] Sapta, that depends on the size of your drive [08:30] Sapta: it depends on the amount of freespace u got. /home can be 5GB or 5TB [08:30] what would be the best command to move a folder from /media/_var to /var/lib ? [08:31] joetheodd: thanks [08:31] Sapta, basiclly if you have a 100gb hard drive it would be 2xyourram = swap, /=10-15gb, and /home=rest of drive. [08:32] Actually I have Vista on my HD, and my extended partition of 80gb which I will be partitioning for / and /home has media files. [08:32] so i don't want to give more than what I need to give to /home [08:33] Sapta, how much total space are you using for linux [08:33] Sapta: how big is your RAM? give swap twice that. give / 15GB. then give whatever u like to /home === Abigail_ is now known as rEvo [08:34] is there a way to scan for wireless networks using the gui in gnome? [08:34] illumin8: Tha's what I'm trying to figure out. i want an optimum space so i don't run low on space, yet keep most partition to windows for entertainment [08:34] dayo: ram is 2 gb [08:34] Sapta: then your swap is 4gb [08:34] Sapta, Right then, basicly home is like your C drive in windows [08:34] clearscreen that howto really didnt tell me how to word it, here is a pastebin of (fdisk -l) the drve i am looking at is sdb1 http://paste.ubuntu.com/140001/ [08:35] hi [08:35] illumin8: / is more like the c: drive [08:35] I need to make a MS Office compatible .doc, using OpenOffice Writer. I don't have Times New Roman or Arial and can't didn't find any packages for them on synaptic, no "MS ttf" or anything of that sort. Is "Nimbus Roman No9 L" Times New Roman? Or how do I get the right fonts [08:35] i have a problem .. [08:35] DrMrHorse, if you click the network icon in one of the panels, it expands and displays all network in range. [08:35] hahahaha [08:35] tyvm [08:35] np [08:35] so i guess I'll give /home around 10 gb [08:35] /sykora [08:35] /home is basically your user folder on Windows. It's My Documents, My Music, etc, along with your desktop. [08:35] Sapta: ok [08:36] Sapta, if you have 2gb of ram you will want 4gb swap, 15gb for / (which holds most of your data and system related files) and /home set to how every much storage space you want for personal use. [08:36] I have several folders on a drive I can mount and access. and I want to move them to another healthier driver.. what's the best way. to move folders? two drives in one machine? [08:36] slimjim: add /etc/sdb1 to fstab [08:36] /home is where user's stuff goes. Programs go in /.

I don't have Times New Roman or Arial and can't didn't find any packages for them on synaptic, no "MS ttf" or anything of that sort. Is "Nimbus Roman No9 L" Times New Roman? Or how do I get the right fonts?? [08:40] duvld thanks [08:40] how big a partition should one use to house just the OS for ibex? [08:40] you're gonna want to add something like this to fstab: '/dev/somedisk /media/somefolder ext3 defaults 0 0' [08:40] duvld: Install the msttcorefonts package from the multiverse repository [08:41] rww: thx === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [08:42] clearscreen what do i put for default mount point for the second hard drive [08:43] bonez46: adapt this for your purposes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/140006/ [08:43] duvld i got error saying directoy does not exist [08:43] hi!

[08:43] gabbah: it's a pulseaudio issue. i usually reboot the machine. some people do: sudo alsa reload [08:44] thanks.. dayo [08:44] slimjim: an empty directory anywhere... generally you just make a folder in /mnt or /media: 'sudo mkdir /media/mydisk' [08:44] I have configured my wireless network conection but I'm experiencing a low internet speed. Could it be a problem with the network configuration? [08:45] Ropechoborra: you could try manually increasing your bitrate [08:45] ok i gotcha [08:45] that is were i was getting lost clearscreen [08:45] clearscreen, how is that? [08:45] dayo: it seems now rythmbox and totem can actually start playing their files, but there is still no sound. [08:45] dayo: i did alsa reload [08:45] clearscreen, in iwconfig it says bitrate: 54 Mb/s [08:46] Ropechoborra: then you either have a driver problem or you're too far away from your AP [08:47] gabbah: make sure sound isn't muted (common problem), run alsamixer [08:47] clearscreen, The link quality is 87/100 and the driver is the oficial Realtek release for linux. I followed the ReadMe from the driver to install it. [08:47] how can I get a flash player installed on my 64 bit amd system? [08:47] is that out yet?

[08:59] hello im new to linux/ubuntu and i have a question if someone can help [08:59] !ask | elcreaturenex [08:59] elcreaturenex: 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. :-) [09:00] puff: Intel® GMA3100 is what dell's website says [09:00] sorry new to the IRC scene lol [09:00] ok [09:00] jklock: Yeah, intel. [09:00] clearscreen http://paste.ubuntu.com/140018/ [09:01] elcreaturenex: ask away [09:01] slimjim: is there any data on the disk? i'd recommend you to just reformat it properly [09:02] I just installed ubuntu to my cd via cd and the install screen came, created a name and everything, well it asked to restart the computer and the screen shows up black but all i can see is a white arrow [09:02] puff: what type of monitor do you have? [09:02] dayo: i was thinking... why does the sound go away overnight in the first place though? what has happened? [09:02] Dell ultrasharp LCd. [09:02] clearscreen no data do you recomend gui or terminal to format it [09:03] jklock: Ah, tried it in safe mode and that workes. [09:03] puff, my sound dissappears in the middle of a podcast. [09:03] gabbah: it's some kind of pulseaudio bug. i posted my version of the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/348115/comments/2 [09:03] slimjim: sudo apt-get install gparted [09:03] i can do gparted for gui or i can try to remember how to do the terminal witch should be (mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda1 correct) [09:03] puff: it is trying to push a resolution the monitor does support :) [09:03] gateway [09:03] slimjim: gparted should be just fine [09:04] ok thanks [09:04] gabbah: basically, ubuntu did a lousy job of integrating pulseaudio into the distro. quite sad, really. it's the one thing that pisses me off about ubuntu [09:04] how can i fix the resolution? [09:05] gabbah: give this a look, too: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 [09:05] Hi... thanks to daylight savings I need to *relatively* change the timestamps of all files on a vfat-partition - is there a way to do that? touch doesn't seem to be the right tool for that. [09:05] dayo: I dealt with someone today who is having a similar problem, but with teamspeak and a bunch of other apps [09:05] dayo: thanks [09:05] clearscreen did you look at what my fstab looked like did it look correct to do [09:05] dayo: pulseaudio is all sorts of weird [09:06] jklock: it's a real pain in the ass. [09:06] Hello , does Ubuntu have some tool for resizing video files ? (file size, wmv) ? [09:06] hi [09:06] dayo: yeah no joke [09:06] jklock: thanks for the hand-holding :-) [09:06] puff: np :) [09:06] do i need another monitor? or can i change the settings? [09:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/140017/ please help me with driver and headers [09:07] someone can help me , I want to have an animated wallpaper like a map which will show me the world [09:08] Does aptitude download packagename also fetch dependencies? [09:08] puff: no i don't think so [09:08] mxcool: give this a whirl http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/12/15/animated-wallpaper-on-your-ubuntu-810-desktop/ [09:08] is opera.com down or is it just my net? [09:08] sharon22f: I'm not sure what you are planning to do but e. g. Avidemux can do all sorts of video-conversion with a nice GUI. [09:10] Anyone have an idea of how to modify file-timestamps *relatively*, e. g. -1 hour? [09:11] im sorry but can someone help me with the resolution issue or point me in the right direction [09:11] dayo: Is there a way to get aptitude to list dependencies? [09:11] balrog_, I think it is down the page opens but no download [09:12] clearscreen that worked thanks alot man. take it easy [09:14] I'm trying to configure my router (dd-wrt) to always assign the same IP address to this machine's MAC address. I've configured the router, but when I do "sudo dhclient eth0" it seems like the box is specifically requesting the random IP address it was assigned last time. [09:14] puff: apt-cache showpkg [09:14] Is this the case? [09:14] dayo: Ah, thanks. [09:14] Puff, Synaptic will list your dependencies for you [09:14] And if so, is there a way to clear that so dhclient just requests any IP adress? [09:15] puff: u would need dhcp for IP assignment, i think [09:16] puff: if you want the same ip address for the same machine, why use dhcp at all.. might as well configure a static address [09:16] clearscreen: puff: true. i would edit /etc/network/interfaces for that === sourcode_ is now known as sourcode[0] [09:17] the router provides dhcp and has an option to specify MAC-to-IP-address settings. [09:18] Yeah but my question: why would you want to use that option if you can assign a static address :P [09:18] puff: u could either edit the lease duration of the dhcp in your router, or edit your systems interface file. i'd do the latter. change it to static [09:19] ! jetcast [09:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about jetcast [09:19] Hm, is it generally possible to have several machines on the same router have widlly different Ips? [09:20] anybody heard of jetcast? Set it up in Ubuntu? [09:20] puff: generally? no.. routers will generally hand out ip-addresses incrementally [09:20] hello there you all [09:20] puff: wildly different as in not in the same subnet? [09:20] I.e. 128.2.177.192 and 128.2.181.155 and 128.2.182.89 [09:21] is there some one who uses turnkey linux? [09:21] turnkey linux? [09:21] clearscreen: This is assuming I'm setting them statically, I guess. [09:21] puff: that's not wildly. it depends on your ip range. [09:21] dayo: Hokay, so I guess I have to make sure the subnet mask is like 255.255.*.* [09:21] puff: afaik if they're all 128.2.* u're good [09:21] i was wondering if i could use it as livecd and setup an webserver ad-hoc, can for example ubuntu livecd create an ad-hoc live server? [09:22] turnkey linux [09:22] http://www.turnkeylinux.org/ [09:22] unimatrix9: This channel doesn't support unofficial derivatives of Ubuntu. Information on community support for Turnkey is at http://www.turnkeylinux.org/community [09:22] dayo: Does that subnet sound right? [09:22] just installed for first time ubuntu and everything went well, after the restart my computer screen is black [09:23] puff: 255.255.0.0 [09:23] puff: or 128.2.0.0/16 [09:23] hi i have big problem guys [09:23] rww, okey, fair enough, but can ubuntu livecd be used as an ad-hoc , instant apache server? when i live install apache .. [09:23] Hokay... probably would be a good idea to set the router to be a 128.2.0.1 or something. [09:23] This is going to be in a stand-alone network, so there should be no issues with upstream. [09:24] my wow installation can be infected by virus....of course can be infected too if is installed on ext3 [09:24] unimatrix9: It should support the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Installing%20Apache%202 [09:24] unimatrix9: should be possible, though I believe temporary space comes from ramdisk, so you'll be limited to some space I believe [09:25] anyone know how i can fix this problem ? === Mud|afk is now known as Mud|lunch [09:27] anybody heard of jetcast? Set it up in Ubuntu? [09:27] hello [09:28] ubuntu newbie [09:28] need some help [09:28] !ask | rishinature [09:28] rishinature: 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. :-) [09:28] OK [09:29] time for breakfast. bye guys [09:29] How do I update VLC player to the latest version using terminal? [09:30] now viruses on ubuntu are problem ! [09:30] ml__: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [09:30] clearscreen, wouldn't that update everything as well? [09:30] sky_1 and you have got one? [09:30] yes [09:30] ml__: yes, why wouldnt you want to update everything though? [09:30] how can you tell? [09:31] i know viruses which can destroy the system not exist [09:31] but problem is that my games are infected ! [09:31] clearscreen, just out of curiosity. Im not sure if my ubuntu will also update to 8.10. I'm on 8.04 LTS [09:31] sky_1, In what way are they a problem?? [09:31] sky_1 what game? [09:31] hello room can anyone help me my usb wifi is not showing up in lsusb and dmesg [09:31] wine? [09:31] all games [09:31] :P [09:32] alll executable format [09:32] :( [09:32] sky_1 you mean bin files? [09:32] or exe? [09:32] I am running a particularly memory and CPU intensive program called DENSITY in UBUNTU hardy heron through WINE. I have a 1.73 Ghz Pentium M processor with 2 GB RAM. While on windows, the swap use goes upto 1.2 GB, in Ubuntu, just about 500 MB is used, while the swap is not even touched. Does this mean that program will run slow in ubuntu or is it that running programs through wine have some limitations. Sorry for the extremely long question!! [09:32] or sh? [09:32] exe [09:32] ml__: im not sure if you can supply a package at the end of your "upgrade" command, it is worth a try.. you can always select N(o) to the upgrade if you see it trying to pull in a huge amount of packages [09:32] ah [09:32] i see [09:32] Okay, there's really gotta be a better way of tracking down the dependencies for these packages... [09:32] rishinature, can you measure? [09:33] clearscreen, alright I'll try. thanks [09:33] sky_1, There are not many .exe files in ubuntu that are vunerable afaik [09:33] sky_1 scan and remove them [09:33] i hate person who created W32.Parite [09:33] sky_1 http://research.pandasecurity.com/archive/New-Panda-Antivirus-Command-Line-9.5.1.aspx [09:34] Anyone have an idea of how to modify file-timestamps *relatively*, e. g. -1 hour? [09:34] anyone know of a good website to improve the boot time of ubuntu??? [09:34] measure what? [09:34] dayo: Okay, so I'm using sudo aptitude show packagename to see the dependencies, but that doesn't show me the dependencies of of the dependencie? [09:34] HI, I am unable to play any audio files getting the error message (in totem) pa_stream_proplist_update() failed: Not supported. Any ideas why? [09:34] i cant remove it [09:34] i want fix it ? [09:34] rishinature, run the same program on each setup and see which one is faster. I'm afraid I can't provide you with anything more detailed than to say that linux has a different relationship with it's swap [09:35] ml__: sudo apt-get install vlc should work too, I think [09:35] sky_1 : there are other anti-virus scanners for linux, just try a few, the url i sended gives you the panda anti virus for linux [09:35] paradroid: touch -t [09:35] yea and Panda can fix Parite ? [09:35] bosco: I talked to some fairly knowledgable people about that a ways back. Most of the delay has to do with it figuring out your exact devices at time of boot and loading the modules. [09:35] i dont want remove the files...i want fix it.... [09:35] rww, wouldn't that just overwrite my current installation of vlc? [09:35] ok...thanks a lot [09:35] sky_1 scan i mean, with the anti virus scanner and it will attemt to fix it [09:35] will try that [09:35] bosco: Try googling on "fast boot" [09:35] puff, so there is no way to improve it [09:35] oh yea i have ClamAV but he only scan and remove [09:35] thats the best you can try [09:36] if i moved /etc/apt/sources.list.d & now i can't boot up is there anything i can do to get things back? [09:36] ml__: that's... what upgrading is? [09:36] user___: The -t parameter will let me define a certain fixed timestamp. I need to relatively change the timestamps of several files in relation to their current value -1 hour. [09:36] bosco: have you tried reprofiling your boot? That usually gives the biggest speed increases [09:36] puff: what are you trying to do? :) [09:36] unimatrix9: i go to try it thanks [09:36] bosco: Idaknow... for me, ultimately I just use suspend all the time so my fast boot desires kinda went away. I still think it'd be super cool to have instant-on. [09:36] Hi, how would you set the time from the command line? [09:37] sky_1 maybe you could even try an exe with wine http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Win32-Parite-Remover.shtml [09:37] ziroday: date [09:37] I dont even suspend, I leave the pc on 24/7.. no startup speed issues, ever :P [09:37] the parite remover and run it with wine [09:37] ikonia: logical, thanks [09:37] paradroid: its not mentioned in the man page, so you would do yourself a little script [09:37] ziroday: easy to miss the obvious sometimes [09:37] clearscreen: pre-cache a bunch of packages on my laptop, then plug it into this standalone network so I can scp it to the other machines on the network. [09:37] ziroday, reprofiling never done that ??? [09:37] puff: aha [09:37] good luck, windows virus on linux , ah really strange [09:37] my boot [09:37] user___: Was afraid you'd say that... [09:37] ikonia: I was messing around with the time command but wasn't getting anywhere [09:37] bosco: one sec [09:38] clearscreen: Any advice? [09:38] ubuntu is booting into this really simplistic shell - it told me to boot into windows & do a chkdsk & that didn't work -- does anyone have any documentation on this shell or could someone link me to some sort of relevant information? [09:38] puff: not really to be totally honest :D [09:38] sigh. [09:38] hey, my laptop's headphone jack is amplifying every noise inside it. For Example, when I plug in the power cord, I hear a loud and low sound. This appears to happen only when alsasound is on. Such thing does not happen on Windows. Could anyone help me, please? [09:38] paradroid: you need to combine: ls bc(or bash calc function) touch, thats it [09:38] isismelting: sounds like the busy box shell [09:38] I need to beat the people who made this necessary about the head and ears. [09:38] startx ? [09:38] rww, true. I meant wouldnt that just reinstall the current verison I have? I just put ubuntu 8.04 on my thinkpad 2 days ago. I have 8.10 on another laptop and it has newer updated software than my 8.04. Just wondering why. [09:38] Unfortunately, they're the ones funding us :-). [09:38] bosco: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=254263 [09:39] ml__: because 8.10 has newer software than 8.04 [09:39] puff: you're lucky you have a job :P [09:39] ok, bye all [09:39] ikonia: that sounds right -- i was having trouble updating, then i moved the /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder to see if that'd work, now i get this crappy shell [09:39] ikonia: any idea what went wrong? [09:39] ziroday, thanks i will take a look at that [09:39] ml__: Ubuntu doesn't add new major versions of software to distros after release. [09:39] isismelting: errr why would you move that directory ? [09:39] clearscreen: Actually, I don't, this is just a pinch-hitting consulting gig for some good friends. === odder_ is now known as odder [09:39] clearscreen: But it's a long story. [09:39] isismelting: that may not be the busybox shell [09:40] ikonia: i was trying to update & it told me there was a problem with that directory, so i thought i'd move it to $ITSELF-old for a minute to see if that'd solve the problem [09:40] rww, okay that explains a lot. So i pretty much have to go through and update them all myself from source? [09:40] I'm reminded of why I don't like system administration. [09:40] ikonia: i think i made a hasty & stupid move [09:40] isismelting: it told you there was a problem with that directory ??? [09:40] isismelting: does it still boot the kernel, or not [09:40] When it goes wrong, system administration is frustrating, tedious, and draining. [09:40] ml__: or upgrade to intrepid if you want the latest version of stuff [09:40] puff: well, you're lucky you have a job involving configuring linux machines... i'm stuck working for a PHP company that really sucks.. oh well, i'm offtopic :P [09:40] puff: whats' the problem ? [09:40] ikonia: yes - and when i moved it then ran update-manager, it updated a lot (whereas before it was not updating at all) [09:40] And when it goes right, system administration is pleasant, tedious and draining. [09:40] :-) [09:41] ikonia: then it asked to reboot, so i did -- now i get this crappy shell [09:41] #ubuntu-it [09:41] isismelting: does the kernel boot, or is the shell before or after where the kernel boots [09:41] rww, alright thanks. I already have intrepid. Just trying things out. [09:41] ikonia: I have 10 machines running a mutant version of an ancient fedoracore5, that will have a nervous breakdown if they're booted up outside their organization netwrk with all the friendly autentication servers and file servers and etc. [09:41] ml__: any reason you wouldn't want to upgrade to 8.10? (haven't been reading the whole convo) [09:41] ikonia: i think it's before, because i can't get access to the directory i moved (i thought moving it back might fix it) [09:41] puff: ok - so why are you talking about it in here ? [09:42] isismelting: what does the prompt say, busybox or root [09:42] ikonia: And I have to put them in a druck, drive 200 miles, put them all together in a stand-alone, off-the-internet network and make them all run this hefty number-crunching simulation. [09:42] hey, my laptop's headphone jack is amplifying every noise inside it. For Example, when I plug in the power cord, I hear a loud and low sound. This appears to happen only when alsasound is on. Such thing does not happen on Windows. Could anyone help me, please? [09:42] ikonia: it says root [09:42] puff: why are you talking about it in here [09:42] ikonia: Oh, and they're all installed on LVM partitions & etc. [09:42] isismelting: can you do "uname -a" to show me [09:42] ikonia: You're a tad impatient, aren't you? [09:42] ikonia: So my solution is to boot them all with ubuntu liveCd. [09:42] ikonia: one minute, finishing another chkdsk. thank you for helping...one moment [09:42] ikonia: Installed on USB keys. [09:42] puff: just cut to the chase [09:43] You asked. [09:43] be nice :( [09:43] clearscreen, I already have it 8.10. But I'm just curious and wanted to check out 8.04, plus it is LTS. [09:43] ikonia: can the ubuntu developers make some tools for protecting Ubuntu from viruses ? [09:43] !viruses | sky_1 [09:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about viruses [09:43] sky_1: there are antivirus tools, but they are not really needed [09:43] ml__: I suppose [09:43] !virus | sky_1 [09:43] sky_1: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [09:43] sky_1, there is clam? === Tomtom is now known as Guest41476 [09:44] ml__: clamav scans for windows viruses [09:44] ikonia: And right now I'm testing the stand-alone network config and trying to figure out how to pre-download all the packages they'll need and sneakernet them onto the stand-alone network. [09:44] ml__: if you're /etc/apt/sources.list is set up for 8.04 you don't have to worry about an apt-get upgrade taking you to intrepid (8.10) though [09:44] ikonia: if you dont readed i said that i have problem with viruses ..they can infect my .exe files on ubuntu / ext3 [09:44] sky_1: there is chkrootkit, however its notoriously unreliable in giving out false positives [09:44] sky_1: They already did, it's called linux. [09:44] ml__: your** [09:44] sky_1: ubuntu doesn't use .exe files [09:44] sky_1: and how do you know they are infected [09:44] clearscreen, okay thanks. [09:44] ikonia: yes not but my games yes [09:44] ubottu: you dont' need an article, the IQ of average linux users is 2x any other os.. [09:44] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:45] ikonia: it is busybox v1.10.2 - uname -a gives me Linux (none) 2.6.27-14-generic #1 SMP [09:45] sky_1: they are windows applications and not relevant to ubuntu [09:45] isismelting: ok - that's a drag [09:45] ikonia: thats bad answer ! [09:45] sky_1: no it's not [09:45] sky_1: you don't need a virus scanner [09:45] ubottu: shenanigans .. AI is not that good yet [09:45] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:46] oh [09:46] default [09:46] ziroday, I haven't heard of any widespread viruses for ubuntu. plus how ubuntu is set up with the whole not being root thing makes it harder for viruses to activate? [09:46] isismelting: something else must have happened as moving that molder won't stop it booting [09:46] ml__: correct [09:46] isismelting: anything else you can think of that happened/changed ? [09:46] ikonia: i can't think of anything, but there were so many updates that i don't know what happened. apparently it is not mounting the drive, is that right? [09:47] ikonia: can be a fix for my problem set games to a ext3 partition and reading set to user and writing only to root ? [09:47] isismelting: the busy box shell can appear for a number of reasons, and yes, not mounting the drive is a main one [09:47] sky_1: what part of "there is no problem" are you not understanding [09:47] ziroday, maybe when ubuntu becomes more popular and more computers have it, more people will start writing viruses it for it. [09:47] ikonia: so, back to my original question: how do I give apt a short list of packages and get back all of the package files necessary to install those packages (i.e. including their dependencies)? [09:47] ikonia: it tells me a command to type for to mount the shell & where to add it, if i gave you that could you help me add it to the right place? [09:47] puff: ahh ok, thats the real question [09:48] ml__: possibly, but they are unlikely to be effective [09:48] puff: one moment [09:48] isismelting: sure [09:48] ikonia: Yes, that's the question I started with, then you asked me what I was trying to do... [09:48] ikonia: thank you, give me one moment [09:48] puff: I didn't see that initial question [09:48] ikonia: thats stupid...you say me dont play games ? thats really stupid [09:48] sky_1: I didn't say don't play games [09:49] Ah, you were active in the channel so I assumed you had. [09:49] sky_1: I said there is no problem, and virus's are not a problem on ubuntu/Linux [09:49] ikonia: i force mounted the drive and rebooted & now everything looks fine. [09:49] isismelting: was it marked as dirty ? [09:49] sky_1: Let me see if I can recap your problem: [09:49] ikonia: so who can fix this problem ? [09:49] sky_1: what problem ???? [09:49] sky_1: You can, just don't windows and oyu don't need to worry about viruses :-). [09:49] ikonia, A number of people have told him that.. [09:49] ikonia: i don't think so - any idea what might have happened? [09:49] that virus can infect exe on ubuntu !!!! [09:50] sky_1: So recap: you have a machine that multiboots both windows and linux. [09:50] sky_1: no it can't [09:50] ikonia: it can still become an issue when wine has / mapped as a harddrive and you run an infected windows binary through wine :) [09:50] sky_1: Windows, of course, gets viruses. [09:50] does anyone know of a pdf viewer/editor that is capable of bookmarks, highlighting, saving page you quit/exit on, built in document management/searching ? [09:50] ikonia: they can [09:50] clearscreen: sure it can [09:50] sky_1: You are worried about those viruses somehow inserting copies of themselves into files on the ubuntu partition, right? [09:50] puff: dont have Windows ...dont have fat32 or ntfs partition [09:50] clearscreen: if it's infected though - it's infected, too late [09:50] ikonia: that's true. [09:50] sky_1: Oh? Are you running windows .exe files under wine or something? [09:51] sky_1: there is nothing to worry about, just use your software as you would normally, and apply common sense [09:51] puff yea wine [09:51] ikonia: I guess that's a good question: how wel-quarantined are windows exes when run under wine? [09:51] puff: "apt-get --print-uris install PACKAGENAME", then press enter at the continue? prompt. It'll print out a list of URLs for the packages you need. [09:51] puff: assuming I'm reading you right, anyway. [09:52] puff: you can also ado an apt-get --dry-run to simulate the install and get your notes [09:52] ikonia: no i cant use my software because virus problem -> example wow got infection by W32.Parite and if i start it i get error... [09:52] ikonia: originally i was having problems with update-manager & apt-get, & they seem to have corrected themselves after having moved /etc/apt/sources.list.d & updating [09:52] sky_1: then run clamav and remove the virus [09:52] sky_1: there can be situations where wine/windows thinks it is a virus BECAUSE it is running in wine [09:52] sky_1: don't bother trying to run a virusscan, just delete your WoW install and reinstall [09:52] sky_1: if a binary is infected - remove it and re-install it, don't try to clean it [09:53] rww, ikonia: will those work when run on a machine that already has those packages installed? [09:53] ikonia: i tried reinstall it but i get virus again ! [09:53] puff: I think so [09:53] sky_1: then it is either a.) your install media b.) s problem of it running under wine, not a virus [09:53] ikonia: tried it, doesnt work :P [09:53] having an issue with apt-get update failed to fetch http://za.archive.ubuntu - any ideas on whether this is an incorrect http:// or how i can direct the apt-get update to the correct url thanks [09:53] anybody heard of jetcast? Set it up in Ubuntu? [09:54] sky_1: The only way for one of your windows-exe-under-wine files to get infected is on a real windows box. [09:54] JessicaParker: that doesn't look like a valid FQDN [09:54] sky_1: So if you scan them with windows anti-virus before copying them over to linux, you're safe. [09:54] puff: mine won't. If you want apt-get to give you ALL of the dependencies of the packages, not the ones that aren't installed... well, that'd be a lot of packages =/ [09:54] ikonia: its not....i downloaded original WoW from Blizzard...and install it....and then try install game from original DVD.....all was good for 2 weeks...and now i have virus on it [09:54] what is a good textual web browser for linux? [09:54] ikonia: any ideas whaat a correct one is or which file i change to make it a good default one ? [09:54] Is there a way I can just install the packages and have it keep the package files cached? [09:55] puff: you could try to pipe outputs of "apt-cache depends" somewhere [09:55] sky_1: then that will be in game content which virus protection won't be able to protect against [09:55] isismelting: w3m comes with Ubuntu and works fine for me [09:55] isismelting: lynx [09:55] JessicaParker: /etc/apt/sources.list is the file to change [09:55] puff: you can use apt-catcher to setup a local repo [09:55] ikonia: any ideas what to change the file to ? [09:55] rww: thanks, w3m looks to be just want i need [09:55] sky_1: if you have downloaded the original media - and it is saying there is a virus after a re-install.......you can see the problem [09:56] n2diy: thanks, but lynx doesn't seem to work well for me [09:56] JessicaParker: a valid repo, JessicaParker please show me the full name again [09:56] ikonia: when i downloaded it...there wasnt virus... [09:56] sky_1: so re-install it from that source [09:56] puff: this'll give you a list of dependencies for the 'wine' package: apt-cache depends wine | grep Depends | awk '{ print $2 }' [09:57] puff: just need to pipe that to something that gives you a uri to the package [09:57] puff: that includes deps of deps i believe [09:57] clearscreen: Yes but do I need to worry about the dependcies of the dependencies, or does depends get all of them? [09:57] clearscreen, puff: I don't think it includes deps of deps =/ [09:57] ikonia: http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-updates/universe/i18n/Translation-en.GB.bz2 [09:57] JessicaParker: ahhh ubuntu.com - that looks better [09:57] clearscreen: Make up your mind :-) [09:57] puff: you try to say me that i cant get virus on ext3 to exe ? [09:58] puff, rww: well it's a tough problem, deps of deps are annoying :P [09:58] ikonia: im not on x how do i edit the file ? [09:58] clearscreen, puff: Since, e.g., that command doesn't give the dependencies of dpkg [09:58] JessicaParker: yes, looks like that host is down [09:58] JessicaParker: any text editor you're comfortable with, nano, vi, emacs, whatever you like to use normally [09:58] rww: ah I see, but dpkg is listed as 'Pre Depends' [09:58] I shoulda just made a custom liveCD. Sigh. [09:58] JessicaParker, nano [09:58] I think you only need to check deps for 'Pre Depends' [09:59] don't forget some dependencies are optional depending on the other software you already have installed [09:59] clearscreen: Exact same thing with ia32-libs's dependencies, and none of those are predepends [09:59] eg: an installer may have an optional dep for php5 - that it will install if it has apache on the system [10:00] Generating a list of ALL of the dependencies of dependencies of dependencies of... etc. will end up with a lot of packages, including a lot of the base system, for many packages =/ [10:00] wenn I plug in a USB HD, the HD is not detected (dmesg does not change) [10:00] rww: yeah [10:00] it can be that last time I did not umounted it [10:00] rww: --dry-run would be a better option to see what it will actually do from a base system [10:00] what can I do, if I do not want to reboot the system? [10:01] ikonia: --dry-run sees what it will do on the current system, not a base system. puff said the package might already be installed, in which case it just outputs "PACKAGENAME is already the newest version." [10:02] ahhh [10:02] rww, ikonia, puff: I'm no expert, but I think puff should just take one of those machines home, install the appropriate packages, and then clone it across the other 9 machines with dd, problem solved [10:06] hello room can anyone help me my usb wifi is not showing up in lsusb and dmesg [10:06] puff, rww, ikona: By default, apt-rdepends shows a listing of each dependency a package has.It will also look at each of these fulfilling packages, and recursively lists their dependencies. [10:06] !wifi [10:06] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [10:06] !wifi [10:06] Hello I'm running Ubuntu system as HOST and vmware server 2 , the guest system are running under the NAT interface, is there a way that I can add so my LAN can access the guest os ? [10:06] i'm trying to configure repeater mode on atheros 5424/2424 using ubuntu9.04 madwifi0.9.4 first interface (ath0) no problem configuring as ap, second interface ath1 always give error ioctl: input/output error. Any hints on how-to get both ap and sta on one card? [10:06] linksys wusb54g v4 [10:06] What happened to the repository management entry in System/Administration? [10:07] what i realy want is to make ubuntu route trafic like a gateway [10:07] Zedde: linux networking is highly documented.. should be easy [10:07] im running debian5, any pros to ubuntu? or cons? [10:07] all I finde is to make it NAT but I don't like it to NAT the trafic [10:08] compguy1011: no.. ubuntu is based on debian [10:08] compguy1011: Generally I find ubuntu better for desktop/media oriented stuff. [10:08] how can i turn off integrated laptop microphone? [10:08] puff, im on a hp dv8408us with 2gb ram [10:09] ok cant use vi - does anyone how how to direct apt-get update to www.ubuntu.com without amending the sources.list file as i cant use vi thanks [10:09] compguy1011: Though AFAIK the debian and ubuntu folks have been very collegial and have worked hard at getting drivers, bug fixes, etc, migrated into both rsets of repositories. [10:09] I am experiencing quite a large delay when restoring application windows when they were minimized (especially full screen ones). It seems to be happening only when Visual Effects in the Appearance Preferences is set to Normal or Extra. [10:09] JessicaParker: you could try nano [10:09] puff: hold on, almost got it :p [10:10] JessicaParker: just use gedit to edit the source list. [10:10] n2diy: not in x but nano looks better to use that vi [10:10] puff: ubuntu is built upon debian.. no offense but, we all know the real story [10:11] it's basically rebranding with some non-free , more recent packages [10:11] JessicaParker: ah, ok, nano is a little more straightforward the vi. [10:11] JessicaParker: vim is better than vi [10:11] n2diy: what about gedit ? [10:11] lstarnes: what about emacs ? *grin* [10:11] eaxxae: eww [10:11] oh well... [10:11] frybye: you need x to run it. [10:12] puff, eaxxae how about ubuntu remix? [10:12] oh right and she dont have it or..? [10:12] anyone good with teeworlds? [10:12] eaxxae: Come again? [10:12] I want to know if I can list available maps in the server? [10:12] frybye: right, she is apparently cli only. [10:12] - sorry I only just stumbled in here.. should keep my peace fora bit.. [10:12] ciao [10:12] I need to get java 6 virtual machine working in Firefox. I installed sun-java6-jre already, but it does not seem to be in Firefox, which has java enabled in preferences/content. What else do I have to do/get?? [10:12] puff: which part are you confused with ? [10:12] !list [10:12] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [10:13] eaxxae: I am confused as to why you are implying that I was lying about the debian-ubuntu connection. [10:13] is there some way around the ubuntu server 8.04 distro failing to install without a cdrom [10:13] eaxxae: However, looking at your next comment, it's clear you're a troll, so nevermind. [10:13] im installing from a usb key [10:13] I have gotten it working before by downloading the tar.gz and installing seperate from package manager. With this new install I want to do everything with package manager, which I used for sun-java6-jre. can this be done? [10:13] puff: never said you were lying, just maybe confused [10:14] eaxxae: Okay, you implied that I was confusing the debian-ubuntu connection. [10:15] thoughts on ubuntu remix? [10:15] yay nay... [10:15] puff: the connection is simple... Debian is "the rock upon which Ubuntu is built". [10:15] yay [10:15] puff: that's right off the ubuntu site [10:16] eaxxae: Have a nice life, troll. [10:16] puff: name calling, very mature [10:17] eaxxae: Trolling, very mature. [10:17] wow, chatroom fights, just like obama says "Special Olympics" === dream-m is now known as your-m [10:17] i agree with puff, at least last 2 statements ive seen.. goblin [10:17] compguy1011, really original handle you have there, how'd you think that up ? [10:17] puff: I give up.. but here's some pointers.. get apt-rdepends, and then use this to grab all the packages you will need: sudo apt-rdepends wine | grep Depends | awk '{ print $2 }' [10:18] puff: Im not sure how to resolve that to urls though :) [10:18] eaxxae, compguy1011, puff, duvld: How about we drop this conversation or take it to PM, please? [10:18] rww: I'l take drop it for $500, Alex. [10:18] when i was 10 i wanted to be a programer, so i liked compguy and binary#'s 1011 [10:18] had it for 14years [10:18] compguy1011: Don't worry about it, let's leave that convo behind. [10:19] rww: lol I just got here, but if were talking about debian being stable or not... how long has it been around and they finally got around to 5? [10:19] duvld: Debian is insanely stable. [10:19] duvld: Drop it. [10:19] duvld: That's part of why it took so long to get to 5 ;-). [10:19] Ah crap, hm. [10:19] anybody heard of jetcast? Set it up in Ubuntu? [10:19] n2diy: what is jetcast? [10:19] n2diy: Nope, sorry. [10:19] osx is better then windows, and linux is better then osx... there! haha [10:20] compguy1011: do you have a question we can help you with? [10:20] compguy1011: Enough. Stop. [10:20] i do [10:20] I need to get java 6 virtual machine working in Firefox. I installed sun-java6-jre already, but it does not seem to be in Firefox, which has java enabled in preferences/content. What else do I have to do/get?? [10:20] ziroday: a streaming audio format, www.wor710.com uses it for there live audio. [10:20] I have gotten it working before by downloading the tar.gz and installing seperate from package manager. With this new install I want to do everything with package manager, which I used for sun-java6-jre. can this be done? [10:20] ziroday: Mainly he's just trying to get some sense of the linux landscape and see which distro he wants to try. [10:20] no, lol just everyone fights for no reason, its pointless [10:21] !java | duvld [10:21] duvld: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [10:21] I need help when i try and search for CCSM it isn't there. I know this is the repos i just don't know which ones to add. anyone know? [10:21] Is it possible to stream media to xbox 360 from ubuntu? [10:21] n2diy: hmm, can't it just to do mp3 streams? [10:21] er what repo do i need to add to get CCSM? [10:21] compguy: he should have directed you to an established page , rather than relay his personal opinion ... I would have linked you on http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/Debian and left it at that [10:21] ml__: yep, through any UPnP server I believe [10:21] hm, it must be installed then and the website I was is bugged :/ [10:22] I guess would be my q summed up :) [10:22] Nephilus: did you search for "compizconfig-settings-manager"? [10:22] Yes [10:22] Nephilus: its in universe [10:22] ziroday: I don't know? I go to www.wor710.com, click on listen live, and I'm instructed to install jetcast, and the file is an .exe. [10:22] ziroday, do you have any suggestions? I've tried mediatomb works great for ps3, but i havent gotten it to work for xbox360 [10:22] compguy1011: Anyway, ubuntu is probably the first debian-derived distro that actually managed to maintain very good relations iwth the debian project, and they worked hard to migrate bugfixes and driver support back into debian. [10:22] ml__: have you seen http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=794489 ? [10:23] someone should invent a new IRC layout, its been a cluttered and has been the same for ever, maybe some way of making a chatroom less cluttered [10:23] compguy1011: great idea, why not talk about it in #ubuntu-offtopic instead of here [10:23] ziroday, checking it out. thanks [10:23] lmfao [10:23] lol [10:23] I have double checked and it is not there. so i am confused [10:23] compguy1011: Ubuntu's started getting popular about 4 years ago, so things may have shifted since then, but their basic emphasis seemed to be focusing on the major complaints that people had about debian, without losing the core things that make debian cool. [10:24] Nephilus: have you done "sudo apt-get update" recently? [10:24] ml__: I would read through the whole thread if I was you [10:24] compguy1011: One of which is the debian community, obviously. [10:24] no [10:24] Nephilus: do that then try again [10:24] Nephilus: what is your repo? [10:24] i should prob do that [10:24] puff: .... link on the page, move on , we don't need a history lesson [10:24] puff, ic [10:25] compguy1011: Those major things included drive support, better support for desktop-y stuff (e.g. media formats), a more flexible approach to dealing with non-free code, and a very set, regular release schedule and maintenance window schedule. [10:25] how do I choose the server I want on xchat? [10:25] compguy1011: Arguably, these days some/many of those issues are no longer a problem with debian. [10:25] H/o let me update first and see if that works [10:25] My repos are http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu [10:25] btw [10:25] Er, not drive support, _driver_ support. [10:25] damn, why do they have to make this so hard... why can't you just do --print-uris when the package is already installed [10:25] and then the other one is the same just source cod [10:25] ic [10:25] *code [10:26] clearscreen: Let's put PerryArmstrong on that one :-). [10:26] puff: read my previous message? :> [10:26] I just reinstalled so i bet i just have to update [10:26] Ned__: XChat > Network List? [10:26] any one there for talk [10:26] puff: just need a command now to translate from package name to deb url [10:27] Ned__: also, the /server command [10:27] clearscreen: nah, jsut sudo aptitude download packagename [10:27] does anyone know how to make ubuntu look like windows 7? [10:27] i searched gnome look and they didn't have anything [10:27] ok thanks lstarnes [10:27] puff: fixed your problem then ;) [10:27] my fingers are twitchy [10:28] Nephilus: take a look at the win4lin project [10:28] Nephilus: err thats not it [10:28] need help trying to burn a dvd in ubuntu ceeps crashing any one help me [10:28] clearscreen: Yay! [10:28] puff: sudo apt-rdepends wine | grep Depends | awk '{ print $2 }' | xargs aptitude download [10:28] if anyone had similar prob: I had to install x-java-plugin. went to sun's website to download java, clicked "do I have java" and firefox prompted me to install the plugin without downloading/installing manually [10:28] puff: you'll have to apt-get install apt-rdepends first :P [10:28] what does rm --r do? [10:28] apt-rdepends? [10:28] oh. [10:29] Nephilus: recursive delete [10:29] Nephilus: it removes a directory and all of its contents [10:29] Nephilus: deletes your hard drive. [10:29] that is waht i though [10:29] *thought [10:29] my hard drive is constantly unloading/reloading its heads on my new laptop -- a few times each minute. How can I fix this? [10:29] wouldnt' you have to be sudo [10:29] mark__, have u tried burning at lower speed? sounds stupid but first thing i tried and it worked. [10:29] n2diy: only when it tries to remove root or a mounted filesystem [10:29] will they ever make a distro that gets rid of the command line? were everything will just be point click? [10:29] Nephilus: Actually, rm --r doesn't do anything, it just gives an error message.

[10:50] or is it an old enlightenment? [10:50] one second [10:50] it's not in the default repos [10:51] you have to modify apt sources [10:51] ah [10:51] i like it [10:51] prince_jammys: I don't see it in the Ubuntu repos after Hardy. [10:51] hello people, can someone tell me how to downgrade from jaunty to intrepid? [10:51] !downgrade | DkySven [10:51] DkySven: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [10:51] DkySven: aka, you can't. [10:52] DkySven: may i ask why u wanna downgrade? [10:52] I am experiencing quite a large delay when restoring application windows when they were minimized (especially full screen ones). It seems to be happening only when Visual Effects in the Appearance Preferences is set to Normal or Extra. === mimor_ is now known as mimor [10:52] DkySven: because i've been thinking of upgrading ... [10:52] hi all [10:52] so, I guess my question would be 'when is e17 going to be added to default repos' , don't know if I trust random repos.. they can get hacked/etc [10:52] I can't get fglrx to work and radeon and the ati driver don't give real fast 3D support, for instance I can't play Urban Terror with normal frame rate, un|matrix === sprinkmeier__ is now known as sprinkmeier [10:54] eaxxae: Since e16 is in Universe, I'd assume we'll add e17 when it gets to a more stable Debian repo. They only have it in experimental right now. [10:55] rww: gotcha, thx [10:55] With the liveCD, how do you ssh into the default user (ubuntu) from the outside world? [10:56] e.g. what'sthe password, or do I need to set one? [10:56] This is after, of course, installing openssh-server. [10:56] hi === android is now known as code64 [10:56] hi [10:57] could someone tell me how downgrading can destroy your system? [10:58] for one certain features might not work [10:58] like wireless for example [10:58] DkySven: the libraries and installed packages have dependences, when you upgrade... the list of dependences/etc changes I think. It'd be much easier to just do a fresh install after backing up your data [10:58] DkySven: apt isn't as good at resolving dependencies going backward as it is going forward. [10:58] DkySven: why are you trying to downgrade ? [10:59] ok, thanks [10:59] trouble with the ati drives, eaxxae [10:59] eaxxae: because he installed a development release without reading the release notes and is unhappy at problems documented therein [10:59] I read fglrx did work now [10:59] linux and ati = bad combination [10:59] but apparently it doesn't [10:59] nvidia and linux = good combination [10:59] all package systems has its drawbacks. Praise yourself lucky that dpkg is the best.. [11:00] DkySven: can you backup and reinstall ? [11:00] DkySven: It only works for newer cards, as the release notes say. [11:00] I have a seperate /home partition, so that should be no problem [11:00] since i know linux mint is based off of ubuntu have any of you tried it out? [11:00] DkySven: I really like to put /home on a different partition than / for precisely that reason, so I can reinstall the system partition without disturbing my user data. [11:00] ok, rww, maybe a little too much wishful thinking on my side, I have a raden 200M [11:00] ati has actually released source for it's driver interfaces, so we can see better opensource drivers soon [11:01] but I use Nvidia === peter_ is now known as Guest52776 [11:01] DkySven: I also like to keep a separate "bulk data" partition for user data I have physical media for (e.g. mp3s or whatever) so my backup of /home can be smaller, easier and fsater. [11:01] I use Maya and need a certified GPU [11:01] code64: ATI works for me, 3D/everything works fine [11:01] nice [11:01] eaxxae: have you tried linux mint? [11:02] DkySven: If you go that way, one thing to watch out for is that log files, etc on / can fill up a 5GB partition eventually, and usually happens at an awkward time :-). [11:02] code64: nope [11:02] I destroyed my USB stick while formatting it in Windows Vista at a hp mini note to create an Ubuntu startup stick, so Ic an't backup like that anymore [11:02] I have a [Radeon 9200 PRO] [11:02] DkySven: So make it a little larger, and keep an eye on it. [11:02] even if the price isn't worth it for the Quadro cards === Eghie`afk is now known as Eghie [11:02] ok [11:02] DkySven: also, ubuntu's package configs tend to put some user data in /var/lib and the like, for example mailman archives. [11:02] but I get nice AA in most applications [11:02] code64: the linux mint mainpage has google adwords.. I'd avoid it like the plague [11:03] eaxxae: that's good advice.

[11:06] pronoy: like windows old active desktop ? [11:06] pronoy: you can create a launcher [11:06] pronoy: there should be a red button at the top on your task bar, that let's u shutdown [11:06] ikonia: i don't think windows desktop allowed you to modify the wallpaper and use it to run a script [11:07] pronoy: yes it did. [11:07] pronoy: active desktop, basiclly a web page as a wallpaper [11:07] Hello! I want the fastest stable linux sistem so i installed Xubuntu and i got everything just like i need exept in Thunar i cant get Network Places! I need to connect to my other computer shared folders and also to this computers windows- this comp is dual boot Xubuntu/Windows [11:07] having the wallpaper run a script sounds a bit nuts, but maybe i'm old fashioned [11:07] sounds like the latter.

Cant find it on google [11:07] rww: ok i didn't know that [11:07] pronoy: but why? [11:08] ikonia: so if i clicked on a part of my wallpaper would it allow me to run a script in windows ? [11:08] pronoy: don't think gnome supports setting anything beyond images as wallpapers/etc.. but you could setup some keyboard shortcuts [11:08] pronoy: that was active desktop yes, [11:08] pronoy: just create a shotcut icon [11:08] If you want fast, and have CPU that supports it, install the realtime kernel, and compile the modules u need for it...

[11:10] ikonia: but if windows can...shouldn't linux be able to :) ??

[11:16] rabby_: you need to contact your support company for their custom build [11:16] any hint for that problem? perhaps a way to reinstall this important package [11:16] puff: Does the private key go to... [11:16] when I create a new account, it works fine. So, the question is, where does qtconfig-qt4 store it's configs, or what other configs can be a problem? [11:16] How to make thunar to connect to Network places? [11:16] grawity: Ok, so you were skipping over the first question and answering the second ;-). [11:16] I removed ~/.config/kde* and ~/.config/Trolltech [11:16] rabby_: I would not advise trying to re-install anything with glibc having issues - contact the people who made the custom build and ask about possible limitations [11:16] puff: Then I probably joined after you asked the first question :/ [11:17] grawity: Nope :-). [11:17] any suggestions ? [11:17] grawity: Okay,so public key in authorized_keys. if I want to be able to go in the opposite direction, private key goes where on the destination machine? [11:17] puff: Okay... So what were the questions? :) [11:17] Ah [11:17] pronoy: private key does not go on destination [11:17] pronoy: ughgh sorry [11:17] puff: private key does not go on destination [11:17] puff: Actually, it's like this. The *destination* machine only has the public key, in authorized_keys. [11:17] i asked them last week and they told me: i can upgrade the server by paying or by doing it on my own for free. so there may not be limitations. but for short time the libc6 symlink has troubles. [11:17] grawity: Basially I'm setting up a stand-alone network and I want ssh passwordless login on all the machines for the same username. [11:17] and when it does it's no longer private [11:17] ;) [11:18] rabby_: then contact them - it's a custom build we don't know what else has changed [11:18] grawity: Yeah, for "going in the oppposite direction", e.g. logging in from destination to source machine now. [11:18] ikonia: don't worry....i write my name and pm myself all the time :D [11:18] grawity: and I want to just use the same keypair on all ten machines to keep it simple. [11:18] puff: So...from any machine to any other machine? [11:18] puff: reverse it private key in your home dir, public in the authorized keys file [11:18] ikonia: private key in ~/.ssh/id_dsa? [11:18] cool [11:19] puff: key auth is normally one way so your keys are not all around the place [11:19] ikonia: what would You tell me, if it was not a custom build? [11:19] rabby_: it doesn't matter it IS a custom build [11:19] Sorry, it's been a long day after several long days and I'm getting punchy now. [11:19] puff: nothing punchy - you're fine [11:19] ikonia: Yeah, but in this case the network is not and never will be connected to anywhere else. [11:19] puff: private key in all home dir's then, and authorized_keys with public key in all home dir's [11:21] Cool. [11:21] ikonia: Er, homedir/.ssh, right? [11:21] puff: bang on [11:21] puff: Yes.

I'm hoping that also applies to instaling packages, changing /etc files, etc. [11:26] puff, so that's that [11:27] What perms should .ssh and authorized_keys be? I found that on the mutant fedoracore5 machines I had to chmod authorized_keys to g-w (u+r, g-w, o-w). [11:27] mh [11:28] But that hadn't been mentioned in any of the other docs I've seen. [11:28] puff: authorized_keys should be 644, I think. [11:28] local machine, you have done ssh-keygen -t rsa/dsa [11:28] Yup. [11:28] then cp .ssh/id_rsa.pub [11:28] to the machine remotely into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys [11:28] which needs to be 600 at most [11:28] and the .ssh folder needs to be 700 or so [11:28] :] [11:29] hey here .. is it possible roll back on a update?

[11:29] look into /var/log/dpkg* or so [11:30] oddicious: I've had problems in the past and ultimately ended up just reinstalling.

[12:10] puff 1 .. i dont know why it cant connect 2 .. the UPDATES i did LAST NIGHT caused number 1 [12:10] shabgard: maybe there is a squid channel? perhaps #squid [12:11] aprilhare: probably someone to package it, a deb diff. I don't know ask the ubuntu mozilla team [12:11] oddicious: Ah, good detail, I'm glad you finally mentioned that :-).

[12:21] unknown host [12:21] JessicaParker: ping 4.2.2.2 [12:21] i have 2 machines 1 is fine the other is not [12:22] pronoy,lstarnes,grawity: Thanks a lot ;) [12:22] how to install Realvideo4.0 [12:22] puff: destination host unreachable [12:22] where is the main config file for the wireless held and can i edit it ? [12:22] guancc686: real media player ? [12:22] JessicaParker: sudo aptitude install wireless-tools [12:22] yes [12:23] who is 4.2.2.2 ?? [12:23] JessicaParker: Well, the next time your machine is on the net, install the wireless-tools. [12:23] that's like.. the coolest it ever! [12:23] i thought those we only for military or something [12:23] guancc686: go to the real media site...download teh realplayer11gold.bin === rely is now known as silo [12:23] puff: done it via wired connection [12:23] guancc686: then execute it using terminal [12:23] JessicaParker: It's a radio signal, so two mahcine can be sittin side by side and one can be fine and the other not. Depends n how good their connectons are, etc. [12:24] oh [12:24] puff: what i really want to do is understand in what file the wireless settings are [12:24] Ever been in a stopped car, listeing to radio, and you roll forward a few more feet and the signal gets all crappy, roll forward a few more and it's good? [12:24] thanks [12:24] JessicaParker: In memory. [12:24] puff: i also have an issue where sometimes it seems to connect to wlan0 and sometimes using eth1 [12:24] JessicaParker: Though there are packages that can help automate each set of settings. [12:25] puff: i would like to swtich one of them off [12:25] No DHCPOFFERS recieved .. no working leases in persistent database - sleeping [12:25] puff === d is now known as Guest94685 [12:25] jschall: You mean it seems to make up its own mind?

[12:25] JessicaParker: sudo ifup eth1 and sudo ifdown wlan0 [12:26] can anyone help me figure out why installing sun-java6-jdk does not enable the javac-command ? [12:26] puff: and also i get a could not authenticate on my gui wireless settings [12:26] madsj: you need to set the environment variable [12:26] JessicaParker: One thing to be aware of, there are two different sets of commands "sudo ifup eth1" and "sudo ifconfig eth1 up" *seem* to do the same thing, but they actually use different files to keep track of stuff, so if you slip and forget that you used "sudo ifdown wlan0" to shut down wlan0, you'll go crazy trying to figure out why "sudo ifconfig up wlan0" doesn't work. [12:26] JessicaParker: Authenticaiton is a different topic :-). [12:26] madsj: i think you might be getting this...javac can be found in the following packages [12:27] oddicious: Sorry, got distracte.d [12:27] yeah [12:27] u were helping [12:27] its cool [12:27] pronoy, I thought that would happen by default; I set the PATH variable to a jvm-directory, but had hoped it wouldn't be necessay; and yes, I did get that "might be found in " message [12:27] hi all [12:28] is it normale that firefox is not working after the last update? [12:28] puff: on eth1 scanning i get my essid and same as on wlan0 [12:28] madsj: it should. You should need to nothing special other than installing sun-java6-jdk. Please pastebin « apt-cache policy sun-java6-jdk » [12:29] so iwlist eth1 scanning returns my wireless connection as does iwlist wlan0 scanning [12:29] I've a 3 xen machines running ubuntu server and serving rails application I need to balancing load between them, What is the best solution [12:29] Is ther any posibility to rotate screan using properiate drivers nvidia ? [12:29] JessicaParker: Ohwait, wlan is wireless, I forgot that. I don't have a wlan. That's odd. [12:30] jrib, http://pastebin.com/m2c57b83f [12:31] oddicious: Do you have a third machine to test with? I'd like to plug a machine into that same network cable and do a dhcp release/renew with it just to be sure. [12:31] oddicious: Process of elimination, etc. [12:31] madsj: readlink -f /usr/bin/javac [12:31] puff [12:31] oddicious: But if you don't, we have othier things to try. [12:31] i have a second ubuntu machine [12:31] oddicious: give it a shot. [12:32] why do u wanna plug the cable into the other machine? [12:32] oddicious: Hm, I just rechecked the aspire page and I somehow missed the kernel note before. [12:32] the cable works fine [12:32] oh? [12:32] oddicious: I want to test the cable and the dhcp server with a separate machine and make sure they work okay. [12:32] whats it saying? [12:32] oddicious: Becaue it's really trivial to test that way if you have a spare machine and it rules out a lot of possible external causes. [12:32] oddicious: Divid and conquer. [12:32] ok [12:32] oddicious: do "sudo uname -r" on the aspire. [12:33] HANG ON [12:33] wait [12:33] back up a second [12:33] what are we doing.. testing the cable or doing the kernal [12:33] helo [12:33] ? [12:33] oddicious: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:33] I need to run rmmod psmouse and modprobe psmouse (to disable touchpad until there is another way). How can I do this without having to type root password each time? === fran is now known as Guest52725 [12:33] oddicious: Do uname -r first. [12:33] oddicious: Should be faster to do that. [12:33] on the acer? [12:33] puff [12:33] ok [12:33] oddicious: But then go ahead and test the cable. [12:33] joder [12:33] oddicious: On the aspire, yah. also, what exact model of aspire is it? [12:33] jrib, returns nothing; PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/.../bin, but that's only for a current bash-session [12:33] PrebenR: when do you need to do that?

Suggestions? and *yes* I will upgrade it, but not *right this minute* ;-) [12:34] PrebenR: you can have it automatically turn off [12:34] !synaptics > PrebenR [12:34] PrebenR, please see my private message [12:34] jrib, because if you happen to touch the touchpad with your thumb it messes up everythin === Igorot is now known as Knightlust [12:34] PrebenR: synclient something_or_other (see ubottu ) [12:35] oddicious: Okay, the new info on the page says that kernel 2.6.27-11 definitely breaks wired connection. [12:35] really? [12:35] New to me, at least. [12:35] Yeah. [12:35] jrib, hmm if it works on Asus 1000h [12:35] jrib, I'll try [12:35] Note Kernel 2.6.27-11 breaks the wired ethernet interface.

'ls /usr/bin/javac' returns an error? [12:35] wow [12:35] thats mad [12:36] PrebenR: you need to enable shmconfig iirc [12:36] it says WIRELESS is not affected [12:36] but mine is [12:36] jrib, it does exist [12:36] jrib, yes and it didnt' work on the eee 901 [12:36] nevermind found it -- old-releases.ubuntu.com.

I wanted to install python-dev but it said it depends on python-sip4-dev [12:38] :-/ [12:39] Anyone got a clue? [12:39] Cruelty: try installing python-dev and python-sip4-dev at the same time [12:39] puff [12:39] i dont see what it says [12:39] jrib, no [12:39] PrebenR: isn't that the first step on the link I gave you? [12:39] lstarnes: Does not work... I cant select it in Synaptic and even with apt-get it does not work [12:39] jrib, tried last time with 901 and after much messing with xorg I find out it wasn't possible [12:40] PrebenR: there's nothing to be messed about with xorg [12:40] Cruelty: "sudo apt-get install python-sip4-dev python-dev" fails? [12:40] oddicious: Says there hvae been problems with wireless resuming from suspsend and that there are workarounds. [12:40] madsj: did you see my last command? [12:40] hmm [12:41] are the workarounds on that page? [12:41] cuz i didnt see any [12:41] unless im blind [12:41] It sais it depends on python2.5-dev [12:41] So lets try [12:41] jrib, This is done by enabling SHMConfig "on" in the X server Synaptics touchpad configuration. With this enabled, these tools can modify the run-time configuration of the touchpad input driver without restarting the X server. [12:41] what is /etc/readahead/desktop? [12:41] jrib, where is this config? [12:41] oddicious: you must be doing something strange. Are you installing packages outside the official repositories? [12:42] jrib, is it this: gksudo gedit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/shmconfig.fdi [12:42] jrib: "readlink -f /usr/bin/javac" returns nothing [12:42] python2.5-dev: Depends on: python2.5 (= 2.5.2-2ubuntu4.1) but 2.5.2-2ubuntu5 will not be installed (Translated) [12:42] and is there a way to "profile" it? [12:42] PrebenR: read the "Enabling SHMConfig" section in ubottu's link. yes [12:42] Hi... can anyone suggest a good DVB-T viewer that doesnt require initial scan data (or the kde-libs)? [12:42] madsj: after that, sudo update-java-alternatives -l [12:42] Cruelty: try installing python2.5 [12:42] oddicious: Yeh, I'm not sure where the workaround is. [12:42] jrib, yes I read it, but it was not clear [12:42] lstarnes, i have scrwed up the whole thinge [12:42] Does not work. [12:42] jrib, didn't know if I was supposed to do dpkg-reconfigure [12:42] PrebenR: what is the first sentence that is not clear to you? [12:42] lstarnes, thank god i did it on vbox :) [12:43] python2.5 ist schon die neueste Version. [12:43] PrebenR: you don't. Where are you reading that? [12:43] Is already the newest version [12:43] jrib, This is done by enabling SHMConfig "on" in the X server Synaptics touchpad configuration. [12:43] sorry [12:43] hemanth: that's why I use vms [12:43] So it is installed.. :-/ [12:43] PrebenR: ignore that sentence then. It is just describing what the directions are about to do [12:43] jrib, just did that [12:43] How can I take advantage of my 4GB of ram in Ubuntu 8.10 32b? [12:43] lstarnes, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3L8sLbfCPs&feature=related [12:43] But apt-get seem to don't find it. [12:43] madsj: what did it give you as output? [12:43] lstarnes, he says only 2 steps [12:43] jrib, I see. I was confused as the config settings seems to be about HAL [12:43] chotaz, install the 64 bit :) [12:43] lstarnes, i was like hmmm !! [12:43] ok I'll try it [12:44] mrwes: Too much sound compatibility problems here. [12:44] jrib: still nothing [12:44] ChotaZ: you should just use 64bit imo [12:44] jrib: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne and search for "Kernel 2.6.27-11 breaks the wired ethernet interface" [12:44] madsj: right, that command just gives information (did it not give you any output)? [12:45] chotaz, well then you're stuck with the RAM limitations of 32b [12:45] jrib: Except oddicious is also expereicing disappearing wireless, which kinda leaves him stuck... [12:45] mrwes: really, no way around it? well thanks then ;) I'll switch to 64b as soon as TS3 comes out. [12:45] where can I can an Epson printer driver for Ubuntu I? [12:45] oddicious: The good news is, if they know that it was specifaically that kernel that caused the problem, there should soon be a kernel update fix fo rit. [12:45] readlink -f /usr/bin/javac yielded no result, after running "sudo update-java...." [12:45] lstarnes, me fed up :( [12:46] update-java did give me some data [12:46] ChotaZ: well the server kernel has PAE enabled, but the desktop one does not [12:46] madsj: what is the output of « sudo update-java-alternatives -l »? [12:46] oddicious: Or you can rever to the kernel before hand which is a lot easier thantrying to revert *all* of your updates. [12:46] jrib, other question very fast. to dissable /enable wifi I need to echo 1 or 0 to a state file in /sys. but this is only writable to root. would it be ok to make it also writable to a group and I put the users in this group? [12:47] Is there any way to get ubuntu-on-flashd-rive to automatically start on bot? [12:47] PrebenR: there must be a better way to do that.... It should be ok if it already has no special group associated to it I suppose [12:48] Er, automatically select the "try without installing" option on startup? [12:48] does anyone have any experience using the equivalent of Microsoft silverlight? I think its called moonlight? [12:48] oddicious: To get the new kernel you'll need to get the kernel package onto the aspire, which if you don't get some form networking working, means using a usb key. [12:49] what's the stable/testing/unstable version of ubuntu called [12:49] oddicious: Okay, it's 8am and I've been up all night... I need to take a little nap. [12:49] !jaunty | ma3x [12:49] ma3x: Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 23rd, 2009 - Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [12:49] jrib, probably there should be one, but for the moment it doesn't seem to be [12:49] is jaunty the stable? [12:50] do you have kde4 in jaunty [12:50] jrib, now the file is own by root.root [12:50] maxb: The "due april 23rd 2009" might be a clue about that. [12:50] madsj: #ubuntu+1 for support with jaunty. Jaunty is in development [12:50] max3: Ubuntu releases like clockwork every six months, so at any given time it's pretty clear which one is the current version. [12:50] erm, s/madsj/ma3x [12:51] so what's the stable one called? [12:51] ma3x: the last stable release is intrepid [12:51] jrib, ah thanks!!! now the synclient finally worked. this x server config totally threw me off course last time [12:51] is kde4 in interpid?

Click "get ubuntu" in the left-margin menu. On the resulting page, Click "Download now" in the center of the page. [12:53] ma3x: Go to ubuntu.com. Click "get ubuntu" in the left-margin menu. On the resulting page, Click "Download now" in the center of the page. On the third page, in the center, it will say "choose a version" and explain what the current version is, etc. [12:53] puff [12:53] thanks for all your help [12:53] By the way, am I the only one who thinks that it is a little unobvious to figure that out? [12:54] puff: you can file a bug against the web page if you wish [12:54] jrib, java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun [12:54] java-gcj 1042 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj [12:54] I mean, it's not rocket science, but should it be that hard for Joe Newbie to go to ubuntu.com and see what the current verison is?

[12:55] hey guys [12:55] if i have a question about the "who" command, who do i talk to? [12:56] the bash folk say its not a bash topic [12:56] http://www.softpedia.com/get/UNIX/Distributions/Linux-Kernel.shtml [12:56] this? [12:56] ohletmeinnowjesu: just ask your question [12:57] hello everyone! do you know some GREAT programs that work wonders, in alternative to Frostwire? [12:57] what;'s the best way to choose a local ubuntu archive? [12:57] jrib, doesn't work. Not allowed to write even if group is set to adm and write enabled [12:57] why don't this work ? iptables -N forward -p udp -s 172.16.71.0/24 -d 192.168.xx.xx [12:57] to put in sources.list [12:57] where am I supposed to install the themes/icons/window borders/etc that I've saved from art.gnome.org? [12:57] jrib, strange but I guess it is something else going on [12:57] PrebenR: k, find the better way then? :) [12:57] Arright, nappy nap fo rme. Backin 30. [12:57] jrib: what does the "line" column in the output of a "who" invocation signify/ [12:57] ynk: in your settings panel [12:58] jrib, yes, but after googling all yesterday I haven't. Most important for me is to turn off the wireless at the moment [12:58] ohletmeinnowjesu: I don't know what you mean by "line" column [12:58] guys, what p2p programs work wonders for you in alternative to Frostwire?? [12:58] jrib, I guess runing a script as root on startup to do it is best solution for now [12:58] harlemdavvey, use Deluge or Transmissin for torrents [12:59] jrib, -s is not working [12:59] harlemdavvey, I went to the settings panel and I could not see them. was I not supposed to extract them? [12:59] PrebenR: maybe. You might try some forums focused on the eee as I'm sure everyone there would know how [12:59] !doesn't work | madsj [12:59] madsj: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [12:59] i use Transmission yet but i mean an alternative to Frostwire, so a direct connection program [12:59] the flag -s is not present [12:59] ynk: ok... when you're there, click on appearance [13:00] lstarnes, http://sourcelinux.wikidot.com/kernel-compilation-in-ubuntu is this fine , or do u have anyother better method [13:00] ynk: and you're done [13:00] madsj: pastebin the command you ran and the output [13:00] hi [13:00] grr how do i IDENTIFY, cant remember the command to change nick /nick doesnt seem to do it [13:00] !register | trask1 [13:00] trask1: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname .

I can't configure the server.. [13:01] harlemdavvey, i'm not sure you understood the nature of my question. i know how to change themes and what not. but installing it is a bit different. for one, i don't even know WHERE i'm supposed to put the themes i saved. lol [13:01] Aizawa: I know nothing about it but have you tried creating the file yourself? [13:02] Well, the file is just there to show you what passwords that were automatically generated, so making one myself is sort of pointless. [13:02] i didn't save theme packages. that would probably have been easier. i just have random window borders, random single themes, icons.. [13:02] jrib: http://pastebin.com/m5d8d5b4d [13:02] ynk: sorry. then, when you're on the appearance box, just drag and drop the file you saved from gnome art [13:02] oooh, i see. [13:02] harlemdavvey, you are the man! [13:02] madsj: my mistake: sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun [13:03] ynk: ;) [13:03] thank you ubottu and jrib, i didnt remember wrong, must be an error or im expired or something [13:03] ynk: oh another thing.. [13:03] i have a problem with acpi events: dmesg tells me "thinkpad_acpi: unknown LID-related HKEY event: 0x5009" though i have defined a rule for it in /etc/acpi/events. the rule does not trigger the program, whysoever. any ideas? [13:03] Hmmm missed my question ? [13:03] ynk: if something goes wrong with the drag and drop, try changing the format of the folder your themes are compressed in, ok?

All is well under Ubuntu. Got it set up long ago. But now I sometimes have to use the same setup under windows XP. If I have my phone paired with the dongle under Ubuntu then I must first delete the paring from my phone and reset it up under windows XP, then if I boot up back to Ubuntu I must delete the paring again else it just does not work. Is there a way around this ?So I don [13:10] 't have to delete it everytime ? [13:10] ActionParsnip: I'd rather not. [13:11] puff: I have had a situation in the past where whatever dhcp client came with an OS didn't work with my wireless router, I had to install "dhcpcd", a more popular one [13:11] puff: but that'd be a last resort [13:11] * elfgoh wonders if anyone would be interested in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak [13:12] ah-hah: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-set-a-static-ip-address-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html [13:12] Hey, is there a way to run a script upon connecting to a specific wireless network, using Network Manager?

I just requested for an ubuntu cd. I will be getting an 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) release. Is this stable? I've heard of ubuntu 10.0 released...! [13:20] why does ubuntu tell me with my shell script: /dev/stdin: No such file or directory [13:20] I am unable to allow a particular site to a particular person. [13:20] 8.10 is stable, 9.04 is beta [13:20] in squid [13:20] deostroll: unless its 8.10 beta or some thing .. [13:20] For example, ceo is unable to access mail-sites since it is already blocked by squidGurad. [13:21] The ceo user can browse other sites . But not gmail,eventhough I have allowed gmail.com  in /etc/squid/allowedsites.txt with proper permissions. [13:21] elfgoh: maybe but lxde is gtk based so there isnt much pain in installing lxde on ubuntu [13:21] whats the latest?

[13:27] duvld: i haven't had time to try knoppix but i think LXDE on Knoppix should make it very much faster compared to the previous KDE versions. [13:27] puff: Do you happen to know the name of that package? [13:27] epiro: I don't have xubuntu, but there should be a way to copy .config file stored for root user, which should be untouched.... well, usually ubuntu doesnt make root user dono if u have [13:28] davidt: Which package? [13:28] davidt: Oh, the wireless oe.

[14:41] regtech: Lemme think. [14:41] * nathan7 eats FloodBot1 [14:41] thanks! [14:41] regtech: I'd start by finding the location of the script [14:41] bill_hilly: Yw. [14:41] so now im using crontab to laucnh my counter script which hunts down the processes and kills them, but its just putting water on a fire, i need to find the source of this [14:41] jrib: Something ps I think. [14:41] hi - is it possible to add an "identity" in EVOLUTION? to have several outgoing adresses with one account?? [14:42] i have found the location, /var/www/html [14:42] Hmm. [14:42] Well, can't you just delete it? [14:42] Wait.. [14:42] regtech: then I'd look at the script and figure out why it is there. [14:42] regtech: You running a webserver? [14:42] bill_hilly: use this command to install correct headers: "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)" [14:43] oCean_: Just linux-headers usually works. [14:43] its there because someone hacked in and installed it [14:43] oCean_: Just gets the latest. [14:43] okay..there is a wierd display color when i hover over the title bar of any window..im on a new installation [14:43] its on someone elses system. [14:43] any idea wht might be the prob?

[14:43] can someone help me with this? [14:43] nathan7: nope. Since linux-headers is a virtual package, You should explicitly select one to install [14:43] ghostlines: Using compiz or anything? [14:44] oCean_: Used to work great here. [14:44] sure, i agree, but its complicated [14:44] yes I'm using compiz [14:44] i need to find out whats spawning it [14:44] regtech: Yeah. [14:44] * _CommandeR_ is away: Fapping [14:44] regtech: it's not really complicated. It's impossible to know what else has been done [14:44] is there anyway of tracing back?

Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [14:45] yeah thanks jrib, i do agree with you, i need to do it [14:45] regtech: Make sure to do investigation from a livecd or something else read-only.

[14:48] no [14:48] hey, trying to install ubuntu jaunty in a dual-boot configuration. it keeps failing when it tries to resize. will intrepid work better? [14:48] bill_hilly: check dpkg -l linux-headers-$(uname -r) [14:48] quinten: Usually, yes. [14:48] ok [14:49] bill_hilly: just to be sure [14:49] quinten: If you aren't a programmer or developer I wouldn't recommend jaunty anyways. [14:49] nathan7: it recover only photos or any data ? [14:49] shay26: Also data. [14:49] True or false: An ntfs filesystem is mounted on /media/disk using the ntfs-3g driver. If stat /media/disk/file.txt reports that file.txt has a link count of 2, then sudo find /media/disk -samefile /media/disk/filex.txt -print should print both hard links to filex.txt.

[14:50] Iceman_B^Ltop: Yes, you need it. [14:51] Iceman_B^Ltop: GRUB is what loads Ubuntu. [14:51] oh, okay [14:51] bill_hilly: what does "uname -r" give, actually? [14:51] Iceman_B^Ltop: It boots a lot better when it loads an operating system =p [14:51] bill_hilly: and what is your current ubuntu version? [14:51] but I dont neccesarily want to choose between both versions [14:51] Hmm. [14:51] nathan7: My next thought is: corrupt filesystem. But windows doesn't seem to encounter any problems booting from that filesystem, and a large number of files claim to have 2 hard links. [14:51] erpo: Hm... [14:51] erpo: NTFS-3G bug?

[15:32] JeppeM: the live cd also has a recovery mode - don't know how useful it will be in your case (i've never used it, it's a new thing), but perhaps you could try [15:33] LjL, what if i install 8.10 on a new partition, and then use === hASDhaQ_ is now known as hASDhaQ [15:33] and then copy the zmlinuz files etc?

I'm looking for it [15:34] G'day everyone.....could someone recommend a GOOD step by step that works for installing "Barry" ? [15:34] ! Barry [15:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about Barry [15:34] cbone: what's barry? [15:34] gearsecond: this will solve your problem : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=203877 [15:35] a blackerry syncing tool [15:35] i can edit the grub menu without a problem LjL, but i need the abi-, config-, initrd, System.map, vmcore and vmlinuz files [15:36] JeppeM: well i think you could obtain them by installing them from within a live cd, no need for a new partition [15:36] JeppeM: at least, it's worth a try [15:37] LjL, i'll give it a try then :) At least this teaches me not to mess with partitions without being 100% sure they're backed up :D [15:37] LjL, this may be a bit far fetched ... boot from a liveCD, create a new /boot part, mount his normal root stuff and so on there with the proper stuff and copy over the liveCD's boot, then use apt to reinstall grub and the kernel? [15:37] cbone: http://www.netdirect.ca/software/packages/barry/index.php (the home page) offers an ubuntu package [15:37] moin [15:37] Thank you [15:38] s3r3n1t7: actually i was thinking he could just boot straight to his root partition using the live cd's kernel [15:38] LjL, hmm that might work, but it might be a bit hard work to get the liveCD to recognize his root partition [15:38] sounds like i need the livecd no matter what :D Will download it now... My old copy is at work :P [15:38] hi, i try to push a patched kernel into a team ppa, could someone help me, or is there a packaging / launchpad irc available? [15:38] s3r3n1t7: you don't need to make it *recognize* it, you just input it manually in the ISOLinux prompt [15:39] LjL, yeah my wording was off [15:39] cbone: basically you should add the line "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/doctormo/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main" to your /etc/apt/sources.list file, then issue a "sudo apt-get update", then "sudo apt-get install barry" [15:40] Is this where I can ask for help?

If it had been a final release it wouldnt matter, but for now, it's a bit too risky, right? [15:42] sorry :) thanks Ocean used to a friendly IRC chann where everyone knows everyone [15:42] JeppeM: it's not recommended for a production system... [15:42] Daremo: np. [15:42] Thank you VERY much [15:43] LjL, i'm thinking you are right in what you said. I think that should work, the kernel should recognize that partition as root then. [15:43] LjL, thanks for your help, i'll give the livecd a shot... [15:43] shadycuz so you run the cd and you when you run diskmanagement (cant remember the exact name) it finds no hard drives?

[15:51] gearsecond_, so run it [15:51] Daremo: no i dont think so [15:51] cbone: yes, it just means it doesn't know about the repository. it's warning you that it might not be a "trusted" repository, as it's not an official one [15:51] shady hmmm [15:51] !gpgerr > cbone (cbone, see the private message from ubottu) [15:51] yes i typed the command and it givesme a number of options [15:51] gearsecond_: sudo dpkg --configure -a [15:52] i dont know which to chose [15:52] such as [15:52] Daremo: just a regular desktop [15:52] * jpo more knowledgable foks are being transferred from ##linux to here for more help and support [15:52] gearsecond_, usually, you just choose the defaults by pressing 'etner' [15:52] gearsecond_: pastebin them. we aren't mind readers.

[15:53] debaser: I've never used it to do split at bookmarks, so I'm not sure how that works. but it doesn't over-write the old file when splitting it just creates the new ones as well.

[15:54] yep [15:54] Deevz: You do not have to use Partition Magic to resize your partition, if you're going to install Linux.

I realize I could remove the card and probably get things to work but is there a way to skip this module from grub options so I don't have to open the pc up? [15:59] bing: README.Debian won't contain package building instructions, because those are the same for every single package [16:00] LjL, since i just deleted the partition, but i havent overwritten it with anything, do you think it would be possible to restore the files on the deleted partition? [16:00] Ryan, most nVidias work from the research i have done. I just bought a 9400 that im going to install as soon as I get my PCIe extender [16:00] bing: ok, one way is: "cd" to the package's directory first, then "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b" [16:00] one last time before i post on forums. how could i merge many "locked" (but free to use) PDF files?

[16:18] I am having a problem with the internet slowing down and then dropping offline then coming back [16:18] magnetron: Do you use it like: 'cache: gHamachi_0.8.1.tar.gz' ? [16:18] I hope I don't have to reboot after setting up microphone [16:18] Spectre: realtek works along with 5.1 on my rig :D [16:18] Shadycuz did you click next even after getting the error? [16:18] PhotoJim, the windows machine in question can connect to my (ubuntu intrepid) machine without login authentication [16:18] mxboy15u: Just try rebooting the network equipment. [16:18] airtonix: can connect in what sense? [16:19] Daremo: trying that now [16:19] chotaz, that looks about right for 4gig of ram. [16:19] Daremo: but i have in the past and it didnt show any tables [16:19] PhotoJim, from the windows machine : open explorer : type : //ip-address/share-name, connects, no request for authentication [16:19] dmizer: strange is that I'm using 2,9GB with just 2 desktop, xchat,pidgin and teamspeak running =\ [16:20] Shadycuz, k, i asked cause looks like your problem is similar to this.. http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=6002.0 but im still looking at things [16:20] i sent you a message ryan_leaf [16:20] PhotoJim, the reverse, as in trying to connect to a guest share that has no password,, from ubuntu to the windows machine keeps requesting a pasword [16:20] chotaz: some of that may be reserved for video, and some may be used for swap. [16:20] airtonix: Linux SMB (Windows file sharing) username/passwords can be different from the local system username/password combination. that could be the issue. Samba (the Windows networking suite on Linux) lets you set up separate passwords from the system. so if the Samba passwords match the Windows box, but not the local Linux system passwords, that could be the case. [16:20] Daremo: it's not showing anything after clicking next [16:21] chotaz, linux makes use of your ram more efficiently, so it will appear to use more. [16:21] unmount the drive [16:21] Resend the message [16:21] right im going to try for the last time. Otherwise looks like im screwed. If anyone here knows how to get me on the internet using kubuntu/ubuntu please pm me the steps of doing this. i am quit thick and have been tring for days. im actually starting to get pissed of thanks in advance. [16:21] dmizer: thanks, yeah buffers and cache are using about 3.7GB [16:21] 2.7 [16:21] right im going to try for the last time. Otherwise looks like im screwed. If anyone here knows how to get me on the internet using kubuntu/ubuntu please pm me the steps of doing this. i am quit thick and have been tring for days. im actually starting to get pissed of thanks in advance. also i use wireless internet :) [16:21] Why Ubuntu doesn't offer Package Selection during installation? it irritates getting Gnome all the time....that's not justice.. they should respect all the users e.g KDE users.. [16:21] Daremo: umount /dev/hda returns, not mounted [16:22] i cannot get a single iso to burn correctly. i've tried burning on 3 different computers, i've tried brasero, gnome toaster, and nautilus ... none of them get a good burn on any iso. all iso files pass md5 sums. how can i get a successful burn? [16:22] !minimal | mustu [16:22] mustu: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [16:22] mib_nfavum: try wire, see if it works. if so you know it's a wifi issue. [16:22] Shadycuz, lolz... figures.. ok hang on [16:22] mustu: and kubuntu is ubuntu with kde by default [16:22] PhotoJim: i cant im upstairs [16:22] Daremo: in qtparted when I click the disk, in the shell the error reads cant have partitions out side of disk [16:22] Where do you trim the extra terminals that start up? [16:22] the router is downstairs [16:22] Jampiter: KUBUNTU FTW! [16:22] PhotoJim, im not using my local username password to connect to the windows share. it has guest account access with the guest account being called 'guest' with no password. and when requested to enter a password upong attempting smb access to the windows machine it keeps saying authentication failed when i provide the username : guest, password : none [16:22] =p [16:22] ;\ [16:22] dmizer: is your media crap? that could do it. [16:22] Where do I have to add modules which should be unloaded before suspend? [16:22] airtonix: A real account? [16:23] PhotoJim, i've also tried different media. [16:23] mib_nfavum: then there are too many possibilities. take your machine downstairs, plug it into a jack, and see what happens. the information you get will significantly reduce the time and effort to debug your problem. [16:23] airtonix: On Linux accounts without a passwords are locked. [16:23] nathan7, on the windows machines : guest account enabled. no password set. share is given guest account access in 'sharing and security' [16:23] Whoever sent me that personal message, will have to resend it. [16:23] airtonix: I've not set up guest access on Samba, so you've just exceeded my knowledge. I always use usernames and passwords. [16:23] ok PhotoJim ty [16:23] I am now in xchat [16:23] mib_nfavum: np. it's a bother but it's worth the effort. [16:23] PhotoJim, you misunderstand me [16:24] PhotoJim, i am not trying to connect to a linux machine running a samba server [16:24] airtonix: Hmm. [16:24] dmizer: not sure. if you've tried multiple burners and multiple media on multiple systems, the common denominator seems to be your .iso. [16:24] well thanx [16:24] to let me know that :) [16:24] nathan7, PhotoJim, i am trying to connect to a windows xp machine that is sharing out a folder [16:24] PhotoJim, multiple iso too which all pass md5 sums. [16:24] airtonix: if you're connecting from a Windows machine to a Linux box for the purpose of file sharing, Samba is the way it's done. if not that, what are you doing? [16:25] dmizer: clearly you aren't meant to own computers. I suggest paper and pencil. :) (kidding.) No idea. Very weird. Same burning software? Maybe you should try a different program. [16:25] PhotoJim, from = linux ubuntu intrepid. to = windows xp sp2 [16:25] !italian [16:25] 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) [16:25] airtonix: From = server, to = client? [16:25] airtonix, do you have the package "smbfs" installed? [16:26] !piglatin [16:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about piglatin [16:26] he doesnt need smbfs [16:26] PhotoJim, i've tried the nautilus utility, i've tried brasero, and i've tried gnome toaster. [16:26] PhotoJim: I have the same problem. My CD drive is simple broken. [16:26] i do to connect to my CIFS mounts. [16:26] PhotoJim, no my machine is ubuntu intrepid. the machine i am trying to connect to is a windows xp machine [16:26] dmizer: I suggest getting a new drive. [16:26] PhotoJim: if i connect it using the cable will it be easyier to config wlan0 after? [16:26] mib_nfavum: Yes. [16:26] daftykins, smbfs is only to mount the remote shares [16:26] nathan7, on all three of my computers? [16:26] is it possible that tar -vczf messes the encoding of the files ? [16:26] daftykins, checking, brb [16:26] dmizer: =O [16:26] dmizer: Try a different disk. [16:27] dmizer: And are you sure it's not a DVD? [16:27] ok cheers nathan7 =] [16:27] daftykins, yes it is installed [16:27] mib_nfavum: not easier. but you'll establish that everything else is working. and if you need to download packages to get your wifi working, you can do it via the wire there. [16:27] your a real star PhotoJim [16:27] airtonix, on the command line, try smbclient //ipoftheserver/sharename -o user=guest === j_ack_ is now known as j_ack [16:27] nathan7, i've tried different media as well, different isos ... everything sais the iso burns successfuly, but when i do the integrity test, it always fails. [16:27] You know they should really put an eSATA port on ALL laptops, so you can connect a new HD or Optical Drive, if need be. [16:27] usser, session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_TYPE_NOT_GRANTED [16:27] nathan7: he's using multiple drives, so that is what is puzzling me. [16:28] dmizer: what if you ignore the integrity test and just try it? [16:28] PhotoJim: Hmm... [16:28] Ryan_Leaf, eSATA is very much an unused connection for pretty much everyone right now - USB3 will probably render it pointless [16:28] airtonix, how about without -o user=guest is error any different? [16:28] PhotoJim, install does indeed fail. [16:28] I guess it's an integrety test bug. [16:28] Is apt-get hash-checked? [16:28] daftykins: I wouldn't say pointless. eSATA is native SATA. USB3 adds another layer. fewer layers = better. [16:28] nathan7: Yes, and GnuPG sigatures too. [16:29] daftykins: But on a laptop, you can have a mobile drive; then when you want to have it run as a desktop, you connect your super-fast SATA hard drive, and you are in business. [16:29] usser, requests a password for the username i currently am logged in with on this local machine [16:29] dmizer: then you really, really have me puzzled. if you're desperate I could burn you a disc here and mail it to you and see if that works. at this point it may be worth a try. [16:29] jpds: Hmm. Weird. [16:29] airtonix, right sorry i messed up the command smbclient //ip/share --user=guest [16:29] i agree with what you're both saying but sadly idiocy wins over what's technologically superior Ryan_Leaf + PhotoJim [16:30] daftykins: well, simplicity is good too. in addition to, not in place of. ;) [16:30] hi, guys I installed LAMP on ubuntu. When i write my server ip in a browser and try to open the index page on another machine i don't get the index page. I get server timed out. I didn't do any configuration to apache. I just downloaded and installed LAMP on Ubuntu and insalled a blog on the server. [16:30] sounds very idealist ;) [16:30] Is there anything that i should configure so i can open my blog? [16:30] when i type localhost on my browser on the server machine i can see the blog, but on another machine i can't [16:30] Welcome Mr. President [16:30] PhotoJim, thanks for the offer ... i do have good isos of dapper and hardy, so i'll try that as a last resort. it occurs to me that the only thing i haven't tried is to perform the integrity check on a different computer. [16:30] usser, 1st line : Anonymous login successful , 2nd line : Domain=[] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager], 3rd line : tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED [16:31] YesWoman, sorry for the stupid question but is the IP correct? [16:31] YesWoman: "localhost" only works from the machine itself. It is the networking equivalent to "me". [16:31] daftykins: yeah [16:31] hello everyone! windows is the best!! [16:31] dmizer: it's worth a try. but if you get desperate, /msg me. I don't mind mailing you a CD. [16:31] can the other computer ping the LAMP server IP YesWoman ? [16:31] daftykins + PhotoJim: People do not realize that USB really sucks for more than one operation. Even if it was a faster platform, it's still susceptible to conflictions on the bus. If you are trying to print using a USB printer, and writting a file to an external USB drive, while downloading images / video off your camera; you can lock up your system. [16:31] Can samone tellme haw to make a scipt witch makes samthing like that when i run it 1 time it runs script a when i run it again it will run script b and when again a?? === txtest is now known as AirForceTwo [16:31] PhotoJim: i know that, but i said that to let you know that the server is ol [16:31] *ok [16:31] But if they were on seperate buses, like FireWire, then you would be all-set [16:31] airtonix, ah, you sure the guest account has the corresponding ntfs permissions, there's two sets in windows, one is sharing perm the other is filesystem perm [16:31] Ryan_Leaf, yes i know, i very much don't like USB [16:32] PhotoJim, i sincerely appreciate the offer. [16:32] airtonix, check FS perm [16:32] YesWoman: ok. :) accessing your blog from another machine on the local network, or from remote? [16:32] usser, on the folder being shared? [16:32] airtonix, yes [16:32] daftykins: i don't know what you mean, i'm trying to access the blog using my mobile as another machine ;) [16:32] usser, that it should have the guest account with at least read access? [16:32] vista or xp or linux?? [16:32] dmizer: not a problem. you seem to have done a lot of work to figure out your own problem after all. :) [16:32] airtonix, thats correct [16:32] usser, brb === amit is now known as Guest81118 [16:33] your mobile phone YesWoman ? so it's on the wireless and the ubuntu LAMP is on wired? [16:33] PhotoJim: i'm trying to access the blog using my mobile as another machine [16:33] PhotoJim, i tell ya ... it's been a frustrating evening ;) [16:33] daftykins: no on GPRS [16:33] hi [16:33] YesWoman: your mobile connected to the cellular network? that's "remote" for this purpose. if your mobile has wifi and the wifi is connected to your own network, that's "local". [16:33] hi [16:33] I wonder what Apple's Marketshare, and Linux's Marketshare will do once support for Windows XP ends? [16:33] airtonix, i'll go have a smoke brb [16:33] YesWoman, your computers IP address won't be reachable from a GPRS connection, because that's on the internet [16:33] Will people upgrade to Windows 7, or will they switch to something else (or not?) [16:33] PhotoJim: connected to the cellular network [16:33] How do i browse the Ubuntu machines on my network? no other PC's are showing up in the 'Network' area [16:34] YesWoman, if you have a router at home you will need to set up a "port forward" for port 80 to the IP address of your LAMP server [16:34] helllo any one listen me [16:34] ubuntu is bad software [16:34] Guest25135: ? [16:34] Guest81118: ? [16:34] YesWoman: daftykins has it. to connect from remote you need to know your blog web server's IP address, and that starts to get to be a complex question. first of all, how is your blog machine connected to the Internet? [16:34] ya i want to join a developer team === Hasnain is now known as hasnain[dead] [16:35] brb [16:35] daftykins: i'm doing a stupid test, actually i don't have a router. my server is connected to a dialup internet :) this is stupid i know but i want to try it [16:35] oh i see [16:35] YesWoman: dialup Internet is going to make it a lot me challenging. Your IP address (which is the way you get to your computer from outside your network) will change every time you connect. [16:36] hmm, must be down to firewall'ing PhotoJim ? [16:36] PhotoJim: yeah, this is just a test [16:36] daftykins: port 80 could easily be blocked on dialup. it's not meant to provide outbound services. [16:36] good point PhotoJim [16:36] I have last message repeated 2 times in syslog, can I disable that? to show all messages even if they repeat? [16:36] YesWoman: and you know what your IP is remotely? sounds like it. [16:36] YesWoman, could you go to www.whatismyip.com and paste me your IP address in private message? i'll let you know what i can see [16:37] daftykins: that is what I was about to recommend :) [16:37] daftykins: ok [16:37] i'll be able to port scan you and check if i can see your webpage [16:37] YesWoman: paste it to me too and I can test it also [16:37] :) PhotoJim [16:37] PhotoJim: ok [16:37] YesWoman: if we're right, there are ways around it but they are pretty technical. [16:37] daftykins, YesWoman, be aware that you may get a server timeout due to load times. [16:38] indeed dmizer , thanks [16:39] i'm having some severe issues after upgrading to the 9.04 beta. first up, /dev/null is mode 600 (but still a character device) each time i boot which causes all sorts of problems. what might be causing this? [16:39] nmap says they're all filtered PhotoJim [16:39] daftykins: not a surprise. [16:40] YesWoman: yes, your Internet service provider blocks a bunch of ports. so you can't access a web server run on your machine via your dialup service, alas. [16:40] YesWoman: if you can get broadband, in particular with a static IP (an IP address that never changes), it's much easier. [16:40] YesWoman: either that, or find someone to host your blog for you, at a site that is accessible on the Internet. [16:41] PhotoJim: oh god, i though that could be happened. I have my blog hosted but this was just a test [16:41] YesWoman, out of interest who is your dial-up ISP? [16:41] daftykins: I'm not in the US [16:41] !jaunty > tremby [16:41] tremby, please see my private message [16:41] i'm not in the US either [16:42] YesWoman: and I'm not in the US either :) [16:42] daftykins: where are you from tho? [16:42] an island between England and France YesWoman [16:42] daftykins: my ISP is called RAMA [16:43] is the beta realease more or less frozen? any problems with upgrade from 8.10?

Or web hosting somewhere else. Definitely your solution, unfortunately. [16:44] does anyone know how to use pytube? [16:44] PhotoJim: this is my blog: rakblog.com [16:44] i read some tutorials but they do not seem to work for my vids that i want to dl [16:44] PhotoJim: i have it already hosted [16:44] alright Xorg expert? or some reasonable facimile of one?

You tried a fun experiment. It can actually work on some providers. It's just not very useful because that IP address is always changing. [16:45] usser, ok checked both sharing an fs permissions...guest wasn't on the fs permissions but is now...although still getting denied messages [16:46] hello all [16:46] is there a way to expand a virtual hard drive?

[16:50] user___: something can't download map, cURL library not installed [16:50] its on urban terror [16:50] datta, there are other methods to get the videos too. the "down them all" plugin for firefox for example. [16:50] datta: go to mozilla plugins and add "download helper" to firefox which look like 3 balls and there you can download anything [16:50] dmizer i tried downthemall but it does not download youtbe vids [16:50] let me try it again and see what the exact msg is [16:50] datta: it's the best [16:50] how can I rename an auto mounted usb device to something I want?

And voila [16:58] usser, control panel -> something/something/something? [16:58] airtonix, from explorer tools->options one of the tabs has to have simple file sharing at the bottom of the list [16:58] tsv: I believe you can do that with relative ease with VLC, could be wrong :P [16:58] usser: have one user but does not have proviliges to administer system therefore cannot access some areas of x [16:58] clearscreen: I'll look, thanks :) [16:58] JessicaParker, i don't recall the specifics, but the command is usermod, so you should be able to glean the necessary information with: man usermod [16:58] airtonix, its in the same dialog where you enable show hidden files etc [16:59] JessicaParker, some areas of X? which ones? [16:59] and sth else , I have a dual boot system (ubuntu & windows).In ubuntu sleep mode doesn't work.Is this a bug? [16:59] Hie!! [16:59] usergr: Hmm. Sleep mode or hibernate? [16:59] need help... [16:59] "useradd admin" if you want them to be an administrator JessicaParker ? [16:59] JessicaParker: are you aware, that you can use "sudo" to run commands with superuser privileges? [16:59] sleep mode ,hibernate works ok [17:00] !ask | rover35 [17:00] rover35: 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. :-) [17:00] usergr: Aha, check your BIOUS settings. [17:00] just a moment, i am writing it... [17:00] *BIOS [17:00] I want to install ubuntu in 500mb internal flash drive any ides? [17:00] usergr: Try setting it in S3 mode. [17:00] Padhu: You have 100M left then... [17:00] what should i do? [17:01] nathan7: tell me the idea [17:01] usergr: Reboot computer, hit F2 or Delete or something, it usually says it when you boot. [17:01] I had a usb device working correctly, and now after compiling the drivers (i wanted to update them), my usb cinergy terratec hybrid xs fm tuner do not work anymore [17:01] Padhu: 400M for a basic Ubuntu install. [17:01] Padhu: You can just normally install to it. [17:01] rover35, if it's not broken ... don't fix it ;) [17:02] and also i suppose the lsusb command do not list the same identifier as before i update the drivers [17:02] Okay, I'm gonna reinstall Ubuntu on my main box. [17:02] s3 mode?? [17:02] usergr: Yup. [17:02] I tried it in ubuntu8.10 It results negative [17:02] it was not broken, but the fm was not working, and i wanted to see if an update could fix it [17:02] what kind of setting is that? [17:02] daftykins: thanks that was what i was looking for.......basically some of the network gui in x cant be accessed by this one and only user due to restrictions [17:03] rover35, did you use the "make install" command? [17:03] yes [17:03] no problem :) [17:03] !sudo | JessicaParker [17:03] JessicaParker: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [17:03] I want ssh server, CUPS, abiword, network-manager, firefox and any lightweight VM [17:03] rover35, there's not much hope for getting rid of that i'm afraid. [17:03] dmizer...?? [17:03] just to clarify sudo useradd mouse admin - will that provide my current user mouse with administrtive priviliges ? [17:03] thanks nathan7 but what kind of setting is that? [17:04] or will that add a user called mouse (who already exists) [17:04] check out "man useradd" for confirmation JessicaParker , but i'd say yes [17:04] rover35, where did you get your updated drivers? [17:04] Hello there I have a notebook with a excelent VGA (NVidia 8700M 512MB GDDR3) and I particually feel that compiz is not necessary..., my question is, by running gnome on metacity will it uses my vga power or not? [17:04] !usermod | JessicaParker [17:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about usermod [17:04] no bot command for usermod? damn [17:04] newbie on linux.........converted from windows after a virus........ [17:04] clearscreen ... that does seem odd, doesn't it. [17:05] my | does not work on the laptop - any ideas on that ? [17:05] does anyone know what is s3 mode? [17:05] dmizer: yup [17:05] JessicaParker: your | ? [17:05] lllll [17:05] yes shift next to z [17:05] ||| [17:05] pipe key? [17:05] yes pipe [17:05] does it bring up a different symbol? [17:05] i did a hg clone on one repository (i don't remember it) [17:06] Hello there I have a notebook with a excelent VGA (NVidia 8700M 512MB GDDR3) and I particually feel that compiz is not necessary..., my question is, by running gnome on metacity will it uses my vga power or not? [17:06] dmizer, i did a hg clone on one repository (i don't remember it) [17:06] it's backslash without shift of course on a UK layout [17:06] !minimal | Padhu [17:06] Padhu: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [17:06] yes > [17:06] how to change the root passwd if i can't remember the passwd? [17:06] !root | lemistio [17:06] lemistio: 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 [17:07] o thanks [17:07] daftykins: on the sudo add i get the message 'mouse is not in the sudoers file' [17:07] lemistio: try to bruteforce it [17:07] running ubuntu 8.10 media will not mount after using vmware here dmesg http://pastebin.com/m7102ef74 [17:07] i only have one log in [17:07] rover35, did an hd clone on a repository? [17:07] Hello there I have a notebook with a excelent VGA (NVidia 8700M 512MB GDDR3) and I particually feel that compiz is not necessary..., my question is, by running gnome on metacity will it uses my vga power or not? [17:08] JessicaParker, you have to relogin after adding a user to admin group [17:08] ubuntu mini cd iso has 9MB size. I think it is network installer. Is it possible to customize? [17:08] JessicaParker, oh you mean you couldnt add mouse to admin because he's not in sudoers? [17:08] usser: but i cant even execute the command i have one user called mouse and that is the only user i have [17:08] running ubuntu 8.10 media will not mount after using vmware here dmesg http://pastebin.com/m7102ef74 [17:08] usser: yes [17:09] usser: and mouse is the only login i have [17:09] usser: mouse is a she [17:09] dmizer, i fund the command i did: "hg clone http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/em28xx-new" [17:09] JessicaParker, wow, bummer, how did it come to this. you essentially now dont have the admin rights at all [17:09] JessicaParker, did you enable root account at some point? [17:09] usser: cool place to come from........network install without usb or cd rom using dhcp [17:10] rover35, sorry, i'm not familiar with hg clone. [17:10] dmizer: hg? [17:11] usser: clearskin : daft : any ideas ? [17:11] Padhu ... apparently. [17:11] JessicaParker: what, you are not in "admin" group? type "id" to make sure [17:11] dmizer, just to simplify, i have 2 drivers, one was correct (it did worked correctly : before i install the second one) and after installing and rebooting from the second install the lsusb command show a differend vid:pid [17:11] Padhu, i thought it was hd clone ... but that didn't make any sense. [17:11] ok what am i looking for in this ? [17:12] "123(admin)" [17:12] If I update or add new software to my main account (admin) do those changes and updates trickle down to my other users (wifes account/ daughters account)??? [17:12] dmixer: just use G4l (Ghoast 4 linux) or clonezilla live [17:12] oCean_: 112 lpadmin [17:12] but not 123 admin [17:12] JessicaParker: ok, that is really weird [17:12] does anyone know the problem, that java applications are too big? (size of buttons, labels) [17:12] dratner anything requiring sudo authentication makes things installed be available to other accounts too, including updates and new software [17:13] JessicaParker: you have to reboot into recovery mode. That'll drop you in a rootshell [17:13] i thought i had done something incorrectly [17:13] JessicaParker, try booting into single user mode and try adding mouse to admin from there [17:13] dmizer, so one of my questions is "how does the lsusb get the vid and pid of the device, why has it changed...?" [17:13] JessicaParker, weird i did this kind of network setup on my eeepc worked fine, something gone wrong [17:13] daftykins: hmm doesn't always work in practice. Like I want my daughter to have flash on her mozilla but even though I have it on my account its not installed on her [17:14] failsge Gnope ? or xFce Session ? [17:14] rover35, you're problem is outside my area of expertise. i'm really very sorry. [17:14] of failsafe terminal ? [17:14] hi [17:14] JessicaParker: No, you have to reboot into recovery mode, then you can "usermod -G admin -a mouse" [17:14] is it possible to see if my hardware works perfectly with linux [17:14] !hardware [17:14] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [17:14] can i see i there are error messages sometimes caused by a kernel error for example? [17:14] clancy: use any one of linux live cd [17:15] does anyone know the problem, that java applications are too big? (size of buttons, labels) [17:15] usser: it did give the option in the first instance of allowing admin access but for this user i wanted to deny it, but found myself then no abling to add another user [17:15] because sometimes the screen is black when i wake up ubuntu from suspend to ram [17:15] oCean_: how do i do that ? [17:15] Hello there I have a notebook with a excelent VGA (NVidia 8700M 512MB GDDR3) and I particually feel that compiz is not necessary..., my question is, by running gnome on metacity will it uses my vga power or not? [17:15] switch off then ? [17:16] JessicaParker: well, during boot, you'll get a menu listing your kernels. One of them says "recovery mode" [17:16] marcosRz, in all totality everything will use your card,i have a 8600 M GT [17:16] how can I check which nvidia driver is installed? (I installed from website) [17:16] shadeslayer, thanks :) [17:16] dmizer, may be you can help anyway :-), i am currently compiling a kernel.org kernel, i think it won't install correctly (if it finish compiling), ause i 'm on a ubuntu system, how patch the kernel from the kernel.org site for my ubuntu...? [17:16] irgendwie kann mir hier niemand helfen xD [17:17] marcosRz, i mean just the graphical part of your desktop [17:17] !de | marco [17:17] marco: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [17:17] <_acid__> marco, try #ubuntu-de [17:17] Haw can i make that when presing a key i will start a script ?? [17:17] ugh ... i've only patched a kernel once, and it took me days to figure it out. there should be directions in the patch readme file though. [17:18] oCean_: ok in root now try that sudo useradd mouse admin [17:19] JessicaParker: I'd rather use usermod. Like so "usermod -G admin -a mouse" [17:19] Ok So now im going to install fastest way Xubuntu 9.04 beta using usb Wifi Using Mini.iso ubuntu 8.10 [17:20] JessicaParker: btw, the program "adduser" is in ubuntu preferred over "useradd" anyway [17:20] oCean_, that's my fault for suggesting [17:20] Kangarooo: all 9.04 issues/discussions go in #ubuntu+1 channel [17:20] oCean_: cool work - now id mouse returns 115 (admin) [17:20] oCean_: for my benefit -G and -a ? [17:21] -g = group, -a = account, i'd imagine === [perry] is now known as [pErry] [17:21] oCean_: dont worry append and group [17:21] JessicaParker: the -G is add as SECONDARY group, the -a is for ADD (or Append) [17:22] i have a basic doubt here...when i download new software manually..and say extract it and install it, what should be the location of the folder? [17:22] JessicaParker, oCean_: just use `adduser user group` Its easier and safer. [17:22] how do I install the flash plug in for ALL users? do I need to do that using yum? [17:23] dratner, no, we use apt not yum [17:23] Flannel: ah, yes. Since I'm from Unix, I'm much more used to the useradd/usermod commands. But I'll remember that one :) [17:23] dratner, sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree [17:24] tekteen: that will install for all users? [17:24] dratner: yes [17:24] yep [17:24] tekteen: thx [17:25] hmm when i connect my windows mobile phone to my PC i get an interface "pan0" created by network-manager [17:26] tekteen: its not finding it. I probably need to update the repos or something ...I don't remember the syntax. Isn't it like sudo apt -update ? [17:26] "sudo apt-get update" [17:27] i have a nvidia 8800gt. bought a second monitor yesterday. how do you get ubunutu tp recognize the monitor [17:27] dratner, what daftykins said :-) [17:27] ah get...sure ...thx [17:27] doh! [17:27] ugliefrog, are you running nvidia drivers? [17:27] yes [17:27] you should have "nvidia-settings" installed [17:27] daftykins:yes iam [17:28] check by running "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings" [17:28] ugliefrog: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings && nvidia-settings& [17:28] daftykins: ok [17:28] hey, i've been trying to install ubuntu in a dual-boot configuration [17:28] however, the install keeps failing at resizing the ntfs partition [17:28] dratner, I was wrong, thre read cmd is: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [17:29] i'm assuming this is supposed to work, but what can i do to fix it? [17:29] I installed Ubuntu server, and its running now, and hooked up to my router. But when I try to connect to it form putty, I get "connection timed out" [17:29] daftykins: i have it [17:29] tekteen, dratner: should just install ubuntu-restricted-extras [17:29] this is within the local network btw [17:29] Iceman_B^Ltop: Did you install openssh-server on it? [17:30] Flannel: yeah [17:30] ugliefrog: run 'sudo nvidia-settings&' [17:30] I did so during the installation [17:30] ok hit alt+f2 then type "gksudo nvidia-settings" ugliefrog [17:30] quiten: use gpated first. then install the OS [17:30] With one of the recent updates my system now turns all sound volume off on reboot. I have to add "Front" and "Side" volume sliders and adjust after each reboot. How do I make them stick? [17:30] quinten→ i had the same problem. i resized the ntfs partition using the gparted live CD, then installed ubuntu [17:30] clearscreen: is that like a package of all stuff like flash and mp3 support? [17:30] dratner, ubuntu-restricted-extras installs many things besides flash. I can not say any of them are bad though. It is up to you. [17:31] dratner, yes [17:31] Flannel: according to my router, the machine has also retrieved an IP address [17:31] dratner: what tekteen said :) [17:31] anyone tell me the interesting game to install in ubuntu [17:31] and when I enter any port different than 22, I get connection refused [17:31] Padhu: Try Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory [17:31] Padhu, I am still addicted to neverball [17:31] Iceman_B^Ltop: does 22 work? [17:31] It's completely free [17:31] Padhu: the World of Goo demo [17:31] tekteen, clearscreen: I will try it since its still not finding the flash plugin [17:31] hi folks, no way to see 4 gb of ram in a 32 bit system? [17:32] Padhu: But the beauty of Linux, is that it can run many Windows games! [17:32] Padhu: it's pay2play after the trial, but I've been having much fun with a game called Celetania, which has a native linux binary of the game [17:32] At full speed! [17:32] Hi, I'm new to ubuntu, I just installed 10 something a week ago and just recently got my atheros wireless card working with the wireless compatibility update. Everything works great except I have to manually "sudo make install" each login to get the drivers loaded. I see that the drivers are in the modprobe.d/updates directory, and I'm not sure why they aren't grabbed automatically. Thoughts? [17:32] ettore: it see's 4 gigs but like all 32 bit systems will take a portion for overhead [17:32] ettore, yes, 4GB works on LINUX on 32bit [17:32] lstarnes: no, I get a connection timeout [17:32] Padhu, nexuiz, bzflag, [17:32] daftykins: i have it up [17:32] dimfish: Which atheros card is this? And which driver are you using? [17:32] Padhu: openarena [17:32] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/+bug/342926 [17:32] usser, simple options....works now [17:33] Iceman_B^Ltop: make sure sshd is running. If you can get to the server, run sudo invoke-rc.d ssh restart [17:33] read the last reply [17:33] usser, many thanks [17:33] Scunizi: Actually, it's not for overhead. It's just the additional memory that the 32bit architecture cannot address [17:33] padhu, sauerbraten [17:33] padhu, pokerth [17:33] do you get two screen boxes under "X Server Display Configuration" ugliefrog ? [17:33] cheerio peoples [17:33] in the "layout" window [17:33] Padhu, mines :-) [17:33] lstarnes: hmm, I have an added problem that I dont have a monitor that supports text mode [17:33] oh. very lengthy list [17:33] airtonix, just out of curiosity enable advanced mode and see what its set perms to when it was in simple. im curious [17:33] so even if move the server to here, I still cant do anything [17:33] padhu, yeah there are quite a few [17:33] ok i have another problem - wireless [17:33] dimfish: check 'sudo lsmod | grep driver_name' to see if they're actually added [17:33] 32bit has a quite low limit on memory. But 64-bit versions support huge amounts of memory. [17:34] dimfish: you might have to manually add the modules using 'modprobe' [17:34] can I boot the system with a Live cd and edit some file manually ? [17:34] menza, its the AR5007EG and I'm not exactly sure which of the drivers is getting used because the new update loads a bunch. I think its the ath5k after looking at a bunch of log messages, but I can't remember [17:34] hi all [17:34] Padhu, everyone likes diff games, there are 1445 people in the room [17:34] i have a problem with nvidia card [17:34] i have two laptops and it seems that when both are trying to connect to the wireless one of them the dell goes off [17:34] why i can't see my avatar picture in pidgin client? [17:34] daftykins: no just one [17:34] dimfish: Huzzah. I should be able to help you with that (I have the same chip/driver). Which driver are you compiling? [17:34] i try it few for my child [17:34] Iceman_B^Ltop: none of your monitors support text mode? [17:34] ok does the "detect displays" button help ugliefrog ? [17:34] You wait and see. Memory limits with 32bit will switch the world to 64bit [17:34] dimfish: try manually adding it: 'sudo modprobe ath5k' [17:35] Ryan_Leaf: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000811.html [17:35] Where can I find a history of packages installed by apt? [17:35] daftykins: nothing there either [17:35] Ryan_Leaf, people are already switching [17:35] please suggest me notebook webcam that works with linux [17:35] with ubuntu [17:35] !webcam | dwarder [17:35] dwarder: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [17:35] padhu, edubuntu has a few learning-based games [17:35] on the connection information it looks as if the one that i cant access ie is working and has a ip address, broadcast address and subnet masl [17:35] tekteen: They have no choice. You either do not use the additional memory, or you change. [17:35] MenZa: thanks [17:35] clearscreen, should I do that everytime I log in, or will it remember I want that? [17:35] have you rebooted since connecting the displays ugliefrog ? and are they connected to a single graphics card? by DVI or? [17:35] lstarnes: no, i have only a hdready tv [17:35] dwarder: welcome :) [17:35] Ryan_Leaf: PAE. [17:35] dimfish: it'll remember [17:35] unfortunately [17:36] how to I prevent amarok from autostarting when an Ipod is plugged in? [17:36] Ryan_Leaf, yep. Also, linux does support over 4GB ram [17:36] dimfish: you can remove by using modprobe -r whatever [17:36] cool, gonna reboot and try out, thanks for help everyone [17:36] why i can't see my avatar picture in pidgin client?is that a bug ?it can be fixed? [17:36] dimfish: The thing is, you shouldn't have to compile the driver yourself; it's on the Intrepid CD [17:36] Ryan_Leaf, on 32 bit machines [17:36] Really? [17:36] daftykins: connected to a single graphics card [17:36] Im running ibex. MPlayer is the only app that my audio will work with. everything else locks up, when I play something in MPlayer it prompts a dialog with: "[AO_ALSA] Unable to set hw-parameters: Input/output error". My PulseAudio shows no Output Devices. help please :( [17:36] he bored with it [17:36] Ryan_Leaf: through PAE, which is a hack. [17:36] nathan7: PAE is really just a hack to workaround the 4gb limit [17:36] Yrah. [17:36] *Yeah. [17:37] tekteen: It's not "linux" or "windows" supporting it (or not supporting it),its the hardware itself supporting it. [17:37] which is better under ubuntu- Kde4.0 or enlightenment? when it comes to good looks and ease of access? [17:37] roll-on 64-bit becoming the norm, I say. [17:37] It doesn't address the real 4gb limit [17:37] jpo: KDE is the best-looking. [17:37] jpo: I recommend getting 4.2 though. [17:37] Flannel, I thought linux had a higher limit [17:37] dimfish: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic should install the ath5k driver. You'll have to blacklist the old ath_pci module (which doesn't work, but is included) by adding "blacklist ath_pci" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [17:37] any 32-bit OS is limited to addressing 4GB RAM tekteen [17:37] Hasn't the Mac platform been 64bit since the onset of OS X? [17:37] tekteen: It's a hardware thing. [17:37] aaand he's gone [17:37] Ryan_Leaf: Yeah. [17:37] tekteen: It's a limit of the hardware itself. Yes, you can work around it with PAE, but all you're doing is hiding that limit of the hardware, it still exists. [17:37] I hate KDE's bloaty-ness so much, oh well - offtopic sorry ;) [17:38] clearscreen: 4.2, not 3. [17:38] i've heard it's not proper 64-bit Ryan_Leaf [17:38] daftykins: I thought they were promoting it will be full 64bit for the next release (Snow Leopard) [17:38] hola [17:38] daftykins: do you think its just turned off in the config file? [17:38] nathan7: havent tried 4.. is it any good? [17:38] how to I prevent amarok from autostarting when an Ipod is plugged in? [17:38] clearscreen: Yeah. [17:38] clearscreen: Complete overhaul. [17:38] But it's pointless if your demanding apps are not 64bit === Jordan is now known as Guest50676 [17:39] Alright, this 32bit 4GB discussion has veered offtopic.

[18:32] durt: http://winehq.pastebin.com/m38300620 [18:32] dayo, in gedit...try to open another file...the path will be set to something..just have a look at that [18:32] durt: something like this [18:32] so it's just wrong inside the user account meoblast001 ? [18:32] LjL, I've seen it so I know it's possible. I don't care if it's ascii or Unicode [18:33] Frijolie: of course it's possible. it just won't necessarily work if you transfer files to Windows or something. [18:33] brutus: in gedit open another file from the tar, or from the filesystem? [18:33] LjL, Oh yeah, I'm not going to be transferring it to Windows or anything [18:33] Frijolie: and if you say "an ASCII character", i can't really just guess that you mean "NOT an ascii character" [18:33] Any help with samba would be much appreciated. I can connect with the Netbios name under vista but not from my debian machine or my sis' mac. I can connect using the IP and can see the netbios name with smbtree and smbclient (I can connect this way) but cannot ping it using the netbios name on my debian machine. Any ideas? [18:33] dayo, from the tar...it should be already in the folder inside the tar by default [18:33] jardi: this bug is not reproducable on my ubuntu 8.10, totem 2.24.3 [18:33] Frijolie: anyway what keyboard layout are you on?

[18:34] daftykins: my mom is asking if i have to reinstall her system and i'm saying no [18:34] Frijolie: and you are in the US so you probably have US-intl [18:34] chainsinthewall: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [18:34] dayo, if you go to file->open...the window that shows up will show the folders inside the archive right? [18:34] brutus: it's not letting me do that. basically, i think the problem is this: opening a tarball like that loads it into /tmp === __Purple__ is now known as _Purple_ [18:34] what would you guys recommend for running XP in a virtual machine, ... was thinking qemu, but don't know how well this performs [18:34] LjL, System > Preferences > Keyboard just says US [18:34] meoblast001, i would delete gnome related folders in her user directory at command line until it starts up in default res, i tried google just now but can't find where it would set the user resolution [18:35] cherva, some backslashes are forward slashes? Also, outta my league. [18:35] jklock: thanks [18:35] picca: virtualbox [18:35] daftykins: ok thanks [18:35] picca: sun's virtualbox is ok [18:35] cherva: crazy ! I reproduced it on any ubuntu I tried it (3 different installs of 8.10 and a 9.04) [18:35] meoblast001, that's '.gnome2' and '.gconf' and '.confd' etc :) [18:35] dayo, thanks ... is that opensource/free [18:35] thanks danand [18:35] picca: yep [18:35] Frijolie: uhm, try hitting AltGr+7, if it's US-intl it'll work, but if it's just US, it won'y [18:35] excellent ... thanks dayo [18:35] jardi: sorry, the video isn't pausing here [18:35] picca: u're welcome :-) [18:35] well, what path I have in that is ~/brutus/.fr-6LLvrj/ [18:36] dayo [18:36] LjL, I know what Alt is, but what's "Gr"?

[18:36] Frijolie: right Alt [18:36] cherva, figured [18:36] LjL, alright so "right Alt" + 7 [18:37] Frijolie: yes, that will work if you're using the intl version of US [18:37] Hello every body [18:37] dayo, ok,...thanks [18:37] nice to meet u all [18:37] safsoft, yo [18:37] !hi [18:37] Hi!

[18:46] thanks [18:46] l0bo: no, ubuntu has fail for users, the OS itself is quite nice [18:46] Anyone know if there are any memory editors for Ubuntu? [18:46] l0bo: Is there anything we can help you with today? [18:46] MYM|Fear, next time it stops working run ps -Aux in a terminal and see if there are any apps that have 'control' of the sound card. If there are kill them with kill -9 'PID'. [18:47] Ahh, KDE 4.2 has got a proper menu =D [18:47] can you give me some advise howto update my old pc kernel (ubuntu 6.06 with out internet) [18:47] fly_: 6.06 is no longer suppourted [18:47] sebsebseb: Yes it is [18:47] can anyone here help me with a sierra wireless 598 on Ubuntu 7.10? [18:47] Flannel: oh [18:47] fly_: That's 3 years old. [18:47] gartral: hahah word for that [18:47] Flannel: No, there's a new LTS already. [18:47] :( [18:47] fly_: The easiest way to do it would be to upgrade to 8.04. You can upgrade straight from 6.06 to 8.04 [18:47] durt, MYM|Fear good idea except the command is simply "ps aux" trying it the way durt spelled will give errors [18:48] Although I'd recommend to use 8.10. [18:48] nathan7: Yes. LTS are supported for three years on the desktop, and five on the server. [18:48] fly_: indeed upgarding to 8.04 would be a good idea [18:48] Flannel: =O [18:48] hey nathan [18:48] fly_: You can download the alternate CD for 8.04.2 and upgrade using that. [18:48] Flannel: So it's still supported till next month? =O [18:48] tank you, my old pc just 128M ram .so i [18:48] that process keeps coming back, I need to find the source of it, any ideas? [18:48] gartral, you are correct [18:48] regtech: Reinstall. [18:48] nathan7: I am not sure about recommending 8.10 anymore, because of how long it is suppourted, and other reasons to do with later Ubuntu's, but that would be going offtopic in here [18:48] i cant, im not there [18:48] regtech: Seems it got haxed. [18:49] sebsebseb: Hm. [18:49] fly_: just remeber to reupgrade to 8.04.2 for the security fixes [18:49] durt it is down now [18:49] fly_: you'd be surprised how well an old machine can run modern Linux if it has lots of memory. 8.04 runs really well on a Pentium II with 384 MB. and RAM is really cheap these days. if you can upgrade your memory, do so. [18:49] nathan7: It's fully supported until June of 2009. After that only the server specific stuff will be fully supported. [18:49] oh no [18:49] ok I'll try [18:49] i've screwed up my moms computer more [18:49] durt i tried grepping pulse and alsa : both processes are up noow [18:50] My binary needs to link against "-lfoo".. how can I make sure foo.a/foo.so exist somewhere? (ie, without having to manually search my $PATH). [18:50] i did sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a and quit part way through [18:50] durt how do i check which process has control of sound card ? [18:50] nathan7: also 8.04 and 8.10 aren't that differnet really [18:50] now i can't dpkg-reconfigure [18:50] back.... [18:50] um-k hai [18:50] sebsebseb: Except he can't upgrade straight to 8.10 [18:50] Flannel: yep and that [18:50] PhotoJim: i have 8.10 running on a celeron 1.69 ghz CPU and 512 megs of ram, and im having 0 issues [18:50] gartal it gives bogus '-', no error [18:50] h/o let me put that in one line as no one will see the whole thing [18:51] gartral it gives bogus '-', no error [18:51] i did sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a and quit part way through, now i can't dpkg-reconfigure [18:51] gartral: yup, that sounds like a reasonable system. my old PII can't take more than 384 MB or I'd upgrade it. :) [18:51] MYM|Fear: ps aux, or kill -9? [18:51] hi, my sane is trying to scan an image from my webcam. How can I change it to get from my usb scanner? [18:51] Is there a way to manage and change the speaker setup from within Terminal? [18:51] PhotoJim: even with the server kernel? [18:51] gartral ps -aux [18:52] MYM|Fear: thats your problem it ps aux, no "-" [18:52] ciao [18:52] durt there ?

If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [18:52] My laptop's hard drive clicks loudly a few times a minute when the system is running on battery -- upon investigation, it seems to be trying to park the head, but doesn't end up shutting down because it's accessed again so quickly. How can I fix this? [18:52] gartral: actually, if you install the server version, a very modest machine is enough if you don't install a GUI. my server is a PII-333 with 768 MB of RAM, but it ran fine doing my home server needs with 256M. It only cost me $10 to max it out so why not? [18:52] MYM|Fear: copy and paste > ps aux [18:52] i accidentally removed the wireless icon from my gnome taskbar (the one that selects which network i'm connected to and signal strength). how do i get it back? [18:52] no [18:52] i'm angry [18:52] MYM|Fear, not with ps, just tells you whats running, anything out of the ordinary, etc. lsof might give you more info as to what has /dev/snd, other sound device nomes open.

I prepare the source with debuild -S -sd, and this removes the missing abi files, how can I keep the abi files or fix the problem??

[19:03] brb gonna restart [19:04] MYM|Fear, *is* acting up [19:04] Flannel: ok, thanks [19:04] Flannel: last time i tryed i couldnt unlock it cause it said that the account was locked >.> [19:04] gartral: yeah, i usually don't. but in some scenarios, it's necessary :-( [19:04] meoblast001: did u reboot first? [19:04] gartral: Well, there's really no reason to unlock it in the first place. sudo works just fine, and is the preferred method. [19:05] !sudo [19:05] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [19:05] how does "shutdown -h now" differ from "shutdown -P now" ? [19:05] !noroot [19:05] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [19:05] gartral: But from any admin account you can unlock it, etc. [19:05] Flannel: ohh, your talking a true "root" account, i had locked the primary sudoers account, lol [19:05] gartral: That'll do it. No, only "root" is root. A sudoers account isn't a root account. [19:06] back [19:06] gartral: And in your situation, you can reboot to the recovery console and unlock it. [19:06] Flannel: yes, but theres an old convention of sudo, "root mode" [19:06] !gksu [19:06] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [19:06] sebsebseb: I went there but none of the available devices let me hear the test sound... [19:06] hi i'am newbe need for some help [19:06] Flannel: that was 3 years ago, lol [19:06] !ask | burhanudin [19:06] burhanudin: 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. :-) [19:06] durt thanks :) [19:07] how do I get the reference of my hard disk? E.g. WDC WD2500BEVS-75UST0 [19:07] Waldir: yeah, I can't really help you sadly, but with the help of someone else, I helped someone get Skype's sound working. we had to change two things in the Skype settings, of course you will have differnet hardware [19:07] ok second problem [19:07] MYM|Fear, I'm seeing bug reports in Launchpad on pulse+intel with this error message. [19:07] this is an Intel machine... and i have no hardware accelleration... why?.. the drivers should be in the kernel [19:07] sebsebseb: the strange thing is i can hear sounds here on pidgin :P [19:08] is it easy to set up your own home server with ubnut server edition? [19:08] Waldir: what, exactly, are you having trouble with in skype? [19:08] packetcase: It is. Although you don't need the server edition. [19:09] gartral: everything seems to be working fine, I just can't hear anything (nor can anyone hear me if I make a call) [19:09] i'am sorry i'am only a kid and i don't know what to do i mean i don't know how to star or where to start [19:09] how do i find my default gateway? [19:09] durt ok [19:09] burhanudin: ok [19:09] burhanudin: how old? have you got Ubuntu installed yet? [19:09] gartral: in the sound devices settings, I tried every option available, but the test sound button was completely silent [19:09] Flannel: why should I not use the server version? [19:09] hi mr cdm10 [19:10] why.... the heck does pidgin take %70 of my proc at *all* times?!? [19:10] Hi, I've installed Ubuntu 8.10 in VirtualBox, using LVM volumes on one harddrive. I've the following partitions: 1 primary (LVM), 1 primary (/boot), 1 primary (for installing Win XP on). The LVM contains one root and one swap logical volume. When I start the virtual machine with the Windows XP setup CD, it hangs right before showing the first screen (where it asks to press F6 for drivers, etc.). Is this because I have LVM on the hardisk? [19:10] burhanudin: hi -- this is the Ubuntu support channel. What do you need? [19:10] durt i got a similar error message at http://osdir.com/ml/audio.pulseaudio.general/2007-09/msg00008.html [19:10] packetcase: I didn't say you shouldn't. I just said you didn't have to. You can use any edition to run a server, if you aren't comfortable with the command line, or whatnot. [19:10] I have a problem with speestep / acpi. my intel C2D CPU is not clocking down in idle and I can not read any acpi infos like temperatures or fan speed. and fans are running at 100% all the time. some hints? thx :) [19:10] hi mr sebsebseb [19:11] Hello all , i can create a local address root@localhost or something like this ? [19:11] Flannel: I have to advice a friend who want's to set up his own home server. He have never used linux before... [19:11] burhanudin: what do you want help with? [19:11] i want to use it locally [19:11] MYM|Fear, seems alot of people are ready to blame flash for this too. [19:11] packetcase: Is this for a headless box? or what? [19:11] so Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [19:11] has no drivers? [19:11] Flannel: I will ask him [19:12] sorry about the random line breaks.... i'm not familiar with IRSSI [19:12] Hello Everyone [19:12] mr cmd10 i'am 15 years old, please tell me which way i have to choose to understand ubuntu system [19:12] durt maybe i was viewing a video on youtube at that time [19:12] durt *at the time of crash [19:12] if anyone has some time to support this question, im sure its been asked before, aspire one wireless stopped working for me [19:12] i checked the forums [19:12] burhanudin: I started with Ubuntu at 14 :) do you know what Ubuntu is and what it does? [19:12] Flannel: with a screen [19:12] and tried a number of things [19:12] hey I''m trying to backup my home dir to an external hd. I was wondering if I do sudo -s -H as labled on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR will it convert all my files to root? because the sudo cp -a /home/ /media/backup did. [19:12] ahh i think it's a driver bug [19:12] but to no avail [19:13] hey guys.... how to stop a program which is not responding? [19:13] probably [19:13] is there a task manager kinda thing? [19:13] ok i'm going to go back go my other system.. thanks for the help guys [19:13] thrillERboy: killall programname or xkill and click on it [19:13] thrillERboy: alt-f2, type "xkill", click the window of the broken program [19:13] whats with everyone having issues with flash... other tan being a tad slow, it has worked better for me on this os then in winblows [19:13] did i choose a wrong chanel mr sebsebseb [19:13] burhanudin: if you want to learn about Ubuntu, this is the right channel.. is that your goal? [19:13] thrillERboy: ps -aux | grep your process name and then killall -9 process_id [19:13] Hello all , i can create a local address root@localhost or something like this ? [19:14] yes i'am sure mr cmd10 [19:14] theres no window... I minimized songbird to tray and its not responding now [19:14] yea i'll try MYM|Fear :) [19:14] Flannel: the server will have a screen [19:14] XeNiX: thats a really cryptic question, you should rephrase it [19:14] MYM|Fear, maybe a restart of pulse will serve as a workaround for now. some thing like 'sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart' or what ever the pulseaudio daemon is called. [19:14] but would you tell where to start [19:14] can someone halp me my aspire one wireless stopped working for me with ubunto 8.10 [19:15] gartal: i use exim and i want to email root account root@localhost ? [19:15] i need to find my default router 4 colum number, but i dont have a router. what sould i be looking for in the ifconfig?? [19:15] Hi, I've installed Ubuntu 8.10 in VirtualBox, using LVM volumes on one harddrive. I've the following partitions: 1 primary (LVM), 1 primary (/boot), 1 primary (for installing Win XP on). The LVM contains one root and one swap logical volume. When I start the virtual machine with the Windows XP setup CD, it hangs right before showing the first screen (where it asks to press F6 for drivers, etc.). Is this because I have LVM on the hardisk? [19:15] burhanudin: Well, how much do you know about Ubuntu? [19:15] packetcase: If its got enough resources, it may be easier for him to start off with a regular desktop install. He'll have a GUI and stuff like that. Linux makes no differntiation between a "server" machine and a "desktop" machine. You can run server type programs on either, etc. [19:15] thrillERboy: then type ps aux, find songbirds PID and type kill -15 [19:15] but before thank you very much mr cmd10 for responding i'am really glad [19:15] rnduser2: ok since your issue is not distro specific, I would recommend you try #vbox [19:15] a little bit mr cmd10 [19:15] thrillERboy, try kill -15 `pidof songbirds` === linguaphile is now known as abi_ [19:16] i just used standart application [19:16] sebsebseb: ok thx [19:16] afallenhope: thats exactly what i told him to do :) [19:16] rnduser2: Probably not. But you might have more luck in ##windows. There may be something special you have to do for windows in Virtualbox [19:16] honestly... could gimp get any shitter? === abi_ is now known as atemple [19:16] rnduser2: no problem, and good luck. and I hope you put Ubuntu on a hard disk for real :) [19:16] Can anyone help me with sierra 598 wireless card? I've got the drivers and scripts, bu I can't get it to attach to ttyUSB. Thanks. [19:16] Flannel: Of course. But what would be the easiest for him to admister and set up? [19:16] gardar, no no,, you told him to ps aux lol. I just skipped that step lol. === richard is now known as Guest93971 [19:17] gartal: i use exim and i want to email root account root@localhost ? [19:17] packetcase: Having a GUI is easier for most people. [19:17] ? [19:17] can someone halp me my aspire one wireless stopped working for me with ubunto 8.10 [19:17] afallenhope: im gartral, and i was running under the assumption he didnt know SB's PID [19:17] thrillERboy, or you could try pkill songbird [19:17] please [19:17] mr cmd10 i have machine with sempron, 256 memory [19:17] Flannel: ok [19:17] but i'am not sure ubuntu run a liitle slomly [19:17] sebsebseb: yep, that's the plan :) [19:17] i'am sorry i mean slowly [19:17] gartral, lol, pidof songbird gets the PID for you.. [19:17] yea afallenhope it worked :) [19:17] burhanudin: try the Live CD [19:17] afallenhope, thrillERboy or 'killall songbird' :-) [19:17] XeNiX: then type mail [19:17] thrillERboy, glad I could help ^_^ [19:17] burhanudin: that's not very much RAM, it will definitely be a bit slow. [19:18] is there a ubuntu non retard version? [19:18] but how to see the process numbers? [19:18] hey guys, is .bundle only for debian ? [19:18] I trying to make caps lock not work like caps lock (who has ever used it?) But in the "CAPSLOCK behaviour in keyboard settings" there only stupid options. None like: It does nothing or: it behaves like shift [19:18] afallenhope: i didnt know that [19:18] hi there: #'jaunty-development' plz? [19:18] durt, it's not recommended to use killall [19:18] compiz is overriding my keyboard shortcut bindings. For instance, I have q bound to switch focused window to Workspace1, w to Workspace 2, ect. How can I change Compiz's config to reflect my original bindings? [19:18] thomasdelbeke: #ubuntu+1 [19:18] afallenhope, no? [19:18] l0bo: please ask real question [19:18] what are you recomended mr cmd10 [19:18] afallenhope: why not? [19:18] Flannel: Ok. Could you give me a pointer to a guide or something that could get him up and runnning? [19:18] riva , durt killall is dangerous and unportable. On some systems it tries to kill every process. Use pkill instead [19:18] what kind of live cd mr sebsebseb [19:18] I've used killall once something bad happened [19:18] ze_us: looks like we're out of luck with our wireless problems? I've been here a while and asked three times... [19:19] also how to install themes? [19:19] riva, durt I got that from #bash [19:19] burhanudin: there's a version called Xubuntu that is better for systems with less RAM, you may want to try it. [19:19] burhanudin: the Ubuntu Live CD, that you boot your computer from, to try Ubuntu [19:19] i dont understand why it works [19:19] on fresh install with madwifi [19:19] !themes > thrillERboy [19:19] thrillERboy, please see my private message [19:19] drivers [19:19] if i have a program that "crashes" but is still running in the bg i usually use killall prog [19:19] durt i tried pulseaudio restart and alsa restart but that doesnt seem to work [19:19] afallenhope, not like I told him sudo, good point I guess. [19:19] and then stops [19:19] packetcase: https://help.ubuntu.com/ and specifically the server guide therein. For 8.04: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html for 8.10: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/index.html [19:19] durt but the hardware testing app made it right [19:19] thanks ubottu afallenhope [19:19] packetcase: What sort of servers is he looking to run anyway?

[19:20] !killall [19:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about killall [19:20] thrillERboy: ubottu only wishes he had a soul to appreciate your thanks [19:20] pshh.. you suck ubottu lol. [19:20] tell me please does wubi change boot loader or only edits boot.ini? [19:20] packetcase: Yes, but what does he want to run on that server? [19:20] afallenhope: he doesnt even know about usermod :P [19:20] Jaq85: It only edits boot.ini [19:20] eww! wubi [19:20] afallenhope: Why? [19:20] gartral lol [19:20] clearscreen, seriously? [19:20] åðôòë íùã [19:20] !usermod [19:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about usermod [19:20] MYM|Fear, take a look at /etc/init.d and use the name of the pulseaudio daemon. or man alsa to get the alsa -force resart command. [19:20] thank you === Teiseii is now known as Teisei [19:20] grawity, why what? I was kidding [19:21] Jaq85: Wubi is not that good, and if your Windows hard disk is fragmented, Ubuntu will run slow as well, plus the obvious if you get a nasty WIndows virus or some such, that deletes most of Windows, Ubuntu will probably go as well === amit is now known as Guest12726 [19:21] mr cmd10 i feel shame talking on this chanel, if dont mind may i have your e-mail [19:21] Does anybody know where can I set up the end of each page in Calc in order to print?? (like in Excel) [19:21] afallenhope: yeah yeah, but saying that without reasons to back it up, is not that helpful [19:21] crap, there's no xubuntu 8.04 eh? I can't stand intrepid at all [19:21] Flannel: I dont't know probably audio, video and files to share between the windowns computer on the network [19:23] durt pulseaudio is at /etc/init.d/pulseaudio and alsa but it doesn't work [19:23] sebastien_, huh? I was totally helping [19:23] afallenhope, sure there is. [19:23] afallenhope: what wrong with intrepid? [19:23] durt restarting, resetting or anything else doesn't work [19:23] packetcase: Alright. Yeah, those guides will work out for him. He can also always come here and ask. [19:23] gartral, buggy as hell. [19:23] yeah the sound issue is annoying [19:23] afallenhope: of course there is Xubuntu 8.04 [19:23] what is the difference b/w xubuntu and ubuntu [19:23] what about hardware tunneling mr cmd10 [19:23] MYM|Fear, define 'doesn't work'. [19:23] sebsebseb, care to point me in the dir? [19:23] afallenhope: hah, and the security holes in hardy are any better??? [19:23] afallenhope: There is Xubuntu 8.04, yes. [19:23] Guest12726: the window manager / environment - xubuntu uses xfce and ubuntu uses gnome [19:23] Guest12726: Ubuntu uses Gnome, Xubuntu uses XFCE which is a more light waight version [19:23] hi there, is there a way to know the cpu temp in ubuntu/kubuntu [19:23] xubuntu uses xfce, ubuntu has gnome [19:23] Guest12726: as a result XFCE is like a cut down version of Gnome [19:23] Flannel: Thanks. Hopefully he will convert from Windowns to a complete linux addict:-) [19:23] gartral, that's why you should run gentoo or slackware :-p [19:23] in linux ofcourse [19:23] i thought XFCE predated gnome [19:23] durt doesn't work = i am still not able to hear any sound from any media player or other app [19:23] afallenhope: I expect you can find it if you do a Google search [19:23] sebsebseb: calling xfce lightweight is of great speculation, in reality and practice, they use abou the same resources [19:24] lm-sensors use for know temp [19:24] esp if you have gnome or kde installed as well as it will then run kde apps, but it still needs the kde libs and related loaded, [19:24] i think [19:24] MYM|Fear, is FF/flash still running? [19:24] zleap: yes at what you said, that's true [19:24] friend bought box preinstalled with kubuntu 8.10 installed, eth0 is realtek 8168 B controller, and lsmod shows the module listed, but network manager doesnt get an IP? [19:25] zleap: Gnome can run KDE apps, just as KDE can run Gnome apps, with the correct libs installed [19:25] tried #kubuntu [19:25] sebsebseb, what are you talking about lol. xbuntu?

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:39] bigbucks: this is #ubuntu, what do you think the answer is going to be? [19:39] cjae: sorry for being so frustrating but we are trying to help, can you get into the working machine and find out what ip address is assigned to it? [19:39] banshee is EVIL its made by novell and their EVIL, ubuntu should totally sever itself from novell!

[19:39] either the module is incorrect which is hard to believe, since the distro has been updated [19:39] it will be for a server [19:39] I also prefer a player that can go around in a H.264 stream without trying to decode the wrong frames, clearscreen [19:40] How can i connect to a wifi router via CLI?

Managed to establish some launchers but no panels - what is the best way of getting them back? [19:42] cjae I have had problems with my own modems not assigning the new ip address to a new machine because of lease time errors [19:42] dustin: both oses [19:42] thank you mr ubottu [19:42] also, songbird as a music player looks pretty nice, I'll have to check its support for all the stuff I need [19:43] i use songbird, it's ok but it's no winamp 5 [19:43] im trying to manually connect to my ps3 and it keeps telling me internet connection failed, dns error [19:43] in ifconfic is nameserver my dns? [19:43] daftykins, I don't need winamp :/ I'm one of those people using foobar2000 on win32 [19:43] dustin: but then it would not work when he did it again and the next day and the next day [19:43] daftykins: in what respect ? [19:43] zaccour: yes [19:43] anybody know a Linux alternative to ShortKeys? [19:43] daftykins: Winamp 2.x was awesome, winamp 5.x was WAY too bloated (all that media library crap) [19:43] burhanudin: more like thank th person that triggered the bot to say the thing, which was me [19:44] actually media library is the best feature imo [19:44] MEH [19:44] i never found Winamp that great until i found it [19:44] media libraries are ok, but why in the hell did they stick video etc. there >_> [19:44] nightrid3r, how come i still get this dns error then?? [19:44] well, the only way i've found to mimic having a playlist winamp style is to create one and drag tunes into that [19:44] but it's quite a poor man's solution [19:44] Exaile!

[19:45] clearscreen: Exaile [19:45] !dns | zaccour [19:45] zaccour: DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System, and is an internet system used to translate names into IP Address. [19:45] an error translating a domain to an IP address [19:45] winamp is pretty much offtopic here :) unless your on about running it in wine, which I woudn't recommend, since Desktop Linux has better music players [19:45] cjae: which network manager are you using [19:45] !exaile | me [19:45] me: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

[19:46] audacious? :P [19:46] daftykins: that has to be the 8.10 version of Banshee, 8.04 sucks [19:46] hi all, is that normal that a joliet formatted cd may be unreadable for nomal users ?

[19:48] guys the media player stuff is offtopic, maybe you should take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [19:48] xmmp got replaced by the superior audacious [19:48] I move them but they don't stick where U put them [19:48] really [19:48] zigovr: true, but you can use sudo on it [19:48] yeah I know it :( [19:48] audacious goes tinny and horribl when EQ enabled.

[19:50] zigovr: knowing about and using are two different things.

I used it just the other day. [19:57] Zedde: NX can do that, or just native X [19:57] true a webinterface ? [19:57] chotaz: well probably what you want is something like amarok or itunes...

[20:11] chotaz-> that's what the * does [20:11] ryanCH: kde-base I believe, or kubuntu-desktop for all the packages in kubuntu [20:11] graingert: I missed that xD [20:11] chotaz-> don't do it yet [20:11] ok [20:12] chotaz-> see if other people think? === jaunty_ is now known as dolf1074 [20:12] thepython: Should I chmod +w* my music folder?

[20:12] thepython: thnx :) [20:13] lklock: Should I chmod +w* my music folder? [20:13] chotaz: I don't see what that should do. If you mean chmod a+w *, that gives all uses write permissions.

[20:13] twolane-> thanks [20:13] chotaz-> that should be it, " chmod 755 /path/to/music/" [20:14] perhaps consider chmod -R [20:14] should there not be some recursive-ness? twolane [20:14] twolane-> :-p too slow [20:14] chmod -R is recursive [20:14] thepython-> I know [20:14] graingert: so if my music is in the default music folder chmod 755 Música [20:14] thepython: this will make all the music files executable [20:15] chotaz-> no [20:15] thepython: the files should be 644 unless for unusual reasons, so -R isn't a great idea. [20:15] 644 then [20:15] chotaz-> don't do it! [20:15] durt, how do i find pppoe? [20:15] graingert: didnt ^^ [20:15] chotaz-> 644 instead [20:15] is there anyone in here that is proficient with UCK [20:15] chotaz-> is the current consensus [20:15] graingert: I'm trying to unserstand what each command means [20:15] does* [20:15] !uck | dustin [20:15] dustin: UCK is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs. See http://uck.sourceforge.net/ [20:15] you add octal values for each right [20:15] So I told Transmission to enable the tray icon, but it's not showing up, and I minimized it, so I can't bring it back up. Any idea what would cause tray icons to disappear? (8.10) [20:15] +1 = executable, +2 for read, +3 for write [20:15] No. setting the executable bit for directories is fine. [20:16] zaccour, sorry I missed your original question. 'ifconfig in a terminal will list all your network interfaces. [20:16] hi, anyway to get the size of a partition in bytes ? [20:16] just don't -R [20:16] durt, i did that, and i dont see pppoe there [20:16] gs94: fdisk?

(just read your prob). [20:18] has anyone here created a http server with gnome desktop? [20:18] tried deleting /var/lib/ldap/* and reloading ldif files and all. [20:18] chotaz: +1 = executable, +2 = read, +3 = write [20:18] well I did 755, terminal didnt output anything, is that normal? [20:18] is there a way to run the livecd without a cd burner? [20:19] chotaz: yes, that's fine. [20:19] using ssha via ldappasswd to get encrypted pw and pasting it into slapd.conf and base ldif file. [20:19] scgtrp: a virtual machine [20:19] chotaz: you should now be able to access that directory [20:19] sebsebseb: on real hardware [20:19] i was able to acess the folder [20:19] not sure what else to do? but i do know the pw is the prob, perhaps the way i encrypt it? [20:19] durt, i connect with a cable connection via ethernet cable. [20:19] thepython: thats wrong [20:19] but the music files had an orange lock on the icon [20:19] +2 for write?

[20:21] chotaz: yes i would [20:21] chotaz: yes it would, 777 [20:21] chotaz: yes, though not necessary on regular files. just dirs, if you want to give read/write access to all.

[20:22] chotaz: Or you can use letters! a/g/u/o [20:22] chotaz: user, group, others in that order [20:22] ok simpler question, how do you change the root ldap pw (i have root access to ldap server)? [20:22] I have UCK, I have 8.10 server iso, I have 8.10 desktop iso, and I can burn a dvdrom, how can I work these into each other so that I can create a server package with gnome desktop?

[20:23] gs94: You set that information when you created the partition [20:23] zaccour, is the ps3 getting an IP address? [20:23] trinidadflores: yes there is, and I would recommend Konversation :) [20:23] trinidadflores: System->Preferences->Sessions?

[20:25] Anyone got tips about ubuntu customization? I already have compiz plus the manager for all the pimped effects. [20:25] durt, i put in all the correct info for that [20:25] zaccour, I assume your manually editing /etc/network/interfaces. [20:25] trinidadflores: ,because I find it much better than Xchat, however it's a KDE app and so it will put KDE stuff on, if you don't already have it in Gnome/Ubuntu [20:26] thrillerboy: I think you can usualy dissable it in bios [20:26] no dustin twolane's solution worked [20:26] durt, /etc/network/interfaces command not found [20:27] zaccour, it's a config file not a command [20:27] sebsebseb: konversation is fun, but kubuntu maintainers are moving to drop kde3 lib maintenance [20:27] oh ok [20:27] zaccour, open it and take a look at it.

[20:29] syockit: ok cool. and I don't like KDE4, except some of the apps that I wil run in Gnome, but yeah this is ot [20:29] zaccour, hit alt-F2 and use gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces [20:29] bigbucks: No root password by default [20:29] it wont let me type anything in for the password [20:29] bigbucks, if you mean just to do su commando is NONE. you will have to do first sudo passwd [20:29] !sudo [20:29] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

They still use windows for some applications (ie syncing iPhones) so they definately can't just use a ext3 partition [20:47] Which video drivers are they, o0Chris0o [20:47] o0Chris0o→ err, ?* [20:47] o0Chris0o: check it's not an issue with wine first as once you upgrade your video card kernel module, any future kernel updates will break comptability with the module [20:47] shf10105: so use screen in gnome-terminal [20:47] ok, how, then, do I install GRUB? [20:47] !grub [20:47] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

I have done it before but I can't remember [20:48] twolane: sorry, I have to use xterm because of other features [20:48] dratner: why not setup VirtualBox with a small windows install on it so they can sync their iPhones from linux? [20:48] RobynM: Have you tried just booting to Ubuntu? You can boot to Knoppix... [20:48] o0Chris0o→ I see. Running non-repository drivers for video is generally a bad thing; they tend to break on updates etc. However, if you still wish to do so, do chmod +x .run and run it as root. [20:48] Hello [20:48] Omg, it's rainning on my screen! [20:48] dratner: how about running Windows inside Ubuntu in a virtual machine?

[20:49] since I updated to 8.10 I get while mounting a crypted partition: "mount: special device /dev/dm-0 does not exist" [20:49] any ideas? [20:49] MenZa: if I could fix this problem I am having, I wouldn't try to do it :( [20:49] twolane: but thanks anyway [20:49] dratner: I think the Iphones could work like that as well [20:49] Flannel - I don't have an ubuntu disk handy, but it wouldn't boot a tinyxp disk that installed a machine already this morning [20:49] flybynight: I thought Iphone and Ipod syncing was still broken under virtual machines [20:49] dratner: under wine yes, not under a virtual machine [20:49] dratner: Ipod syning works with programs such as Banshee. that's the standard Ipod. not the touch [20:49] find -name FRC ... FRC is a dir. now i wsh to open it and do grep "something" *... how can i reach the goal? [20:49] o0Chris0o→ You... could use envy. I dunno if it's still awfully terribly bad like it was once (please - can anyone comment on this?). Envy is used to download the latest drivers and install them.

[21:30] chotaz: ask the wine guys in #wine-hq [21:30] to install the nvidia drivers from the website is it still ..... ctrl+alt+f1 sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop cd ~/Desktop sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86 blah blah? [21:30] thanks ikonia [21:30] Voltaire: K. I'm there. [21:30] ikonia: that's all i could find doc on (bridge)... could you give me some pointers on where to look? [21:30] That's where you installed, right? [21:30] Voltaire: Yeah, it looks like it. [21:30] deany - No difference... [21:30] CheesyWeasel: Well, remove that & the link in /usr/bin then install again [21:31] matt_keys: replace the bridge devices with physical devices, although I don't recoemmend it unless you are %100 confident with what you're doing [21:31] Voltaire: K. [21:31] Voltaire: The whole /opt/firefox folder? [21:31] chazco, remount it [21:31] !Wine [21:31] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [21:31] CheesyWeasel: If you're apprehensive, just remove the link first & then install [21:31] chazco, i have an external, all i did was format to ext3, chown it and chmod it, and it is fine [21:31] deany - Been remouting it, no luck [21:32] chazco, if you give it a label it will mount at that point too.. which is handy [21:32] Voltaire: It won't let me delete it... [21:32] CheesyWeasel: How? You have root permissions, right? [21:32] Voltaire: I'll do it through terminal. [21:32] chazco, i suggest reformat it then, include -m 0 tho.. [21:32] CheesyWeasel: Sorry, thought you were using the terminal. ;) [21:33] chazco, i dont know why you cant write to it when you are the owner... [21:33] hey guys im getting a DRDY error .. i googled this and it appears to be hard drive Related .. is this ubuntus way of saying i need a new HD? [21:33] chazco, im assuming you replaced "you:you" with your username :) [21:33] Voltaire: What's the command that removes a directory and all the files? [21:33] CheesyWeasel: rm -r [21:33] hey [21:33] !hi | dangerduck [21:33] dangerduck: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:34] deany - Me neither... its a truecrypt encrypted drive... when formatted with the truecrypt utility i can access it - but cant use it in Windows due to inode size... so i formatted it manually, which seemed to work fine apart from this... [21:34] hi... i'm trying to send audio output into audio input...... can somone help? [21:34] i'm trying to loop it so that i can use it on BlogTV [21:34] cat /path/to/input > /path/to/output [21:34] ? [21:34] Oh. [21:34] Nevermind!

[21:34] voltaire thx ^ [21:35] how to read vsd files? visio [21:35] chazco, ive never used truecrypt myself.. [21:35] hi all I was trying to compile and get working the OpenAIM stuff, it says its for redhat but I thought that ubuntu would be close enough... I Had to apt-get gcc, g++ and gmake so that may be part of my problem, but should I expect to be able to get a redhat only SDK working on Ubuntu? [21:35] deany: dm-crypt for full encryption, ecryptfs for individ directories [21:35] buenasss [21:35] Voltaire: Ok, everything is removed. I did sudo apt-get install firefox and it did it, but now I can't find firefox to run it. [21:36] karstensrage: different package managers, different base binarys; so probably not [21:36] deany - It shouldnt affect it, everything shows up as normal block devices (transparant encryption) [21:36] karstensrage: I can't see how something could be Red Hat only, as RHEL, Fedora, etc. are comprised of all OSS. [21:36] Voltaire, im not asking :) im responding to chazco [21:36] heh i noticed by default that root doesn't have a password. should i remedy this in the sake of security? root logins are disabled, if that means anything [21:36] CheesyWeasel: It didn't create an entry in /usr/bin? [21:36] anthonys, does that mean if i got it working on redhat/fedora and copied over the built stuff it still wouldnt work on Ubuntu? [21:36] Voltaire: It did. [21:36] cy'a bye [21:37] Barridus: The root account is locked. It's not that it doesn't have a password. [21:37] mharris, I dont see how it could be either but I couldnt buld it [21:37] try running /usr/bin/firefox from a terminal [21:37] Voltaire: Hold on a sec... [21:37] Barridus: There's no security issues associated with it being locked, it's the preferred configuration in Ubuntu. [21:37] Flannel, ok thanks i was worried i had a security issue [21:37] Voltaire: Ok, firefox is working. [21:37] chazco, remake the partitions. format em and unmount, then remount and try chown/chmod [21:37] barridus: that's why you've gota sudo to do just about anything [21:37] Barridus: You can unlock it if you want, but it's not recommended. [21:38] !noroot | Barridus [21:38] Barridus: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [21:38] hey guys, what are the consequences of deleting my enemy territory game? [21:38] Voltaire: And so is Java. Thank you! :D [21:38] karstensrage: probably just need to twiddle some things to get it to work [21:38] CheesyWeasel: Sweet.

[21:47] I thought I remember some hype from a while back that the version of xorg in intrepid was supposed to magically do away with xorg.conf or something [21:47] Guest34734: This is #ubuntu, the Ubuntu support channel. Is there something we can help you with today? [21:48] gearsecond a drop menu called System xD [21:48] what happened with that idea [21:48] gearsecond: a way to access menus [21:48] peepsalot: Indeed. xorg.conf is being used again in 9.04 I think. [21:48] how many files linux needs to boot ? and wich ones ? [21:48] xD yes [21:48] peepsalot: It was implemented. Your Xorg is mostly blank, with a lot of auto configuration going on. [21:48] dreamy: lots, and too many to know [21:48] when i restart my pc, /etc/acpi/events delets all its content? [21:48] Xfce menu [21:48] peepsalot, there is a file there called xorg.conf, its empty.

[21:49] durt: 8.04, on the other hand, does [21:49] yes [21:49] can someone check my ftp for me please will pm you the details, trying to set one up and need to know if it is running. done what i can with ftp test sites etc [21:49] fuckers [21:49] system [21:49] 9.04 is different for me :) it has some new nice visual features [21:49] intelGMA500: try in #ubuntu#1 [21:49] peepsalot, its there if you need to use ATI`s drivers and the like, to add custom stuff [21:49] dreamy: I'm pretty sure that it's all in /boot [21:49] intelGMA500: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks. [21:49] Voltaire, niether does 9.04 it's for optional configurations [21:49] can anyone tell me why some applications recognize my GPM-driven mouse at the command line while others don't? [21:49] dreamy: do you need a GUI? [21:50] but theres no entry of Administration [21:50] ortsvorsteher: ;? [21:50] anthonys: can i put the whole direcotry on the tftp conf file ? [21:50] hmm [21:50] intelGMA500: join #ubuntu+1 [21:50] I have a Quadro NVS 135M (GPU 0) and when I activate the drivers the fan on the cards to spin at high speed [21:50] intelGMA500: in channel #ubuntu+1 you will find what you need ;) [21:50] peepsalot, with the Screen Resolution app in menu [21:50] hi fuckes [21:50] anthonys: no idea. worth a shot htough [21:50] any other way to instell yahoo messager onto ubuntu 8.04 [21:50] fuck off [21:50] Voltaire, 8.04 is 'bullet proof' xorg too. [21:50] deany, it doesn't list the right resolutions! [21:50] masho: pidgin [21:51] pidgin suck man [21:51] pidgin rulez :) === dmesg is now known as edson [21:51] anthonys: Did u ever do boot from lan ? [21:51] masho: why? [21:51] durt: Really? Sorry if I was incorrect. [21:51] it's simple and ti works ;) [21:51] hi there [21:51] anthonys: no [21:51] masho, could always try virtualbox [21:51] how can i get back the startup bar in the upper part o xubuntu? [21:51] i lost that xD [21:51] Does anyone know how to make GPM work right? [21:51] i need all the user face of yahoo messager 9,0 [21:51] makes you wonder why they bundle pidgin with ubuntu when its 2nd rate, and has no webcam support.. [21:51] dreamy: no [21:51] k [21:51] is there a way to run 169 glx driver on ubuntu 8.10 [21:52] durt: Definitely going to have to go back to using an xorg.conf though. ctrl+alt+back is disabled by default in 9.04 according to release notes [21:52] what virtualbox ? [21:52] and they dont exactly maintain it either.. [21:52] deany: because it supports every protocol under the sun [21:52] i get system noise through my sound card, its possibly a voltage leak, but i dont think i can fix it, is there any way i can filter it out? [21:52] !virtualbox | masho [21:52] masho: 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 [21:52] anthonys, apart from webcams [21:52] masho-> virtulisation for pc arch [21:52] yer virtualbox will allow you to install windoze under ubuntu as a virtual machine [21:52] i hear this system noise sometimes also. [21:52] deany: not a protocol, and there is probably a plugin for it [21:52] anthonys, and only if you keep it upto date, by compiling or using getdeb.net [21:52] deany-> webcams are not a protocol [21:53] ok [21:53] anyone knows how to seamless put windows xp to work with virtualbox in ubuntu? [21:53] @graingert i agree [21:53] deany: or using a different Distro. Arch FTW! [21:53] that whole thing with msn a month or 2 ago.. [21:53] Ganondorf07-> it does not work well [21:53] Voltaire, xorg can be used in all the recent release but is not necessary, install a little script called dontzap to get ctrl-alt-bksp back. [21:53] Ganondorf07: Install the virtualbox extra tools thing [21:53] deany: This is a support channel. If you want to discuss Ubuntu, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. [21:53] So no one has any ideas about GPM stuff... [21:53] Ganondorf07-> fun for a while, but then get's irratating and crashy [21:53] deany: pm me with that, i dont know what happened [21:53] anthonys, ubuntu dont keep it upto date... if you want the latest version that is [21:53] Ganondorf07-> please keep in chatroom [21:54] can anyone test my ftp. trying to get it up and running :s [21:54] Ganondorf07: use VMware server 2 and VM tools it's works great [21:54] deany: what version are you using? [21:54] oldtxskool: how to reach your ftp? [21:54] Voltaire: or use (on a qwerty keyboard) [21:54] Zedde-> vmware is so bad, not opensource etc [21:54] deany - chmod'ing to 777 seems to work... [21:54] i dont have sound in xubuntu [21:54] what should i do? [21:54] i tried to run the restricted drivers app, and it is getting stuck at "Searching for available drivers" [21:54] !sound | gearsecond [21:54] gearsecond: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [21:54] graingert: true [21:54] QPrime: Interesting. Thanks. [21:54] gearsecond: any particular reason you are using Xubuntu and not Ubuntu? [21:55] but it works :) [21:55] I have a file copy operation that appears to be 'stuck', is there some way to kill it? just closing the window does nothing, as the 'file operations' icon is still in the system tray. [21:55] anthonys-> runs faster, looks cool etc [21:55] one newer than in repo [21:55] gearsecond: Hardware requires it, prefers it. [21:55] can I set my nvidia driver from the command line, since this gui app seems to be not working? [21:55] yes because hardware requires xubuntu [21:55] kneeki: ps aux & then kill the process [21:55] kneeki-> there is a big red (x) circle [21:55] ive got only 224 mb ram [21:55] Voltaire: no problem [21:55] graingert: looks the same as Ubuntu, and you can get XFCE in ubuntu as well s make it easier to administer [21:56] ... [21:56] whats the tool to parse my Samba config? [21:56] deany - Having root own the mountpoint but with 777 works, but not if i change ownership to my user... odd [21:56] graingert: I clicked that circle, and it's now greyed out, but the window remains, along with the progress bar and whatnot within it [21:56] anyone running a nvidia card and drivers ver 177hahaveing problems with the fan going on high speed ?? [21:56] although i ve a 2.6 Ghz Intel Celeron [21:56] chazco, yes, odd..... [21:56] Iceman_B^Laptop: Umm... a text editor? [21:56] Voltaire: ps aux? [21:56] but i cant make run Ubuntu [21:56] kneeki: Displays all running processes [21:56] gearsecond: why not? [21:56] Voltaire: I recall a tool to parse the config file..... [21:56] Voltaire: I'll be, I didn't know [21:56] and check it for errors etc [21:57] I dont know [21:57] gearsecond: 224? that CANT be right, or else you have bad (or REEEAAAALLLLY old) ram [21:57] Zedde, not on my end [21:57] gartral: hey! I'm running Ubuntu on 384 just fine... [21:57] no bcaus ubuntu demands a minimum of 394 mb ram [21:57] ¬¬ [21:57] gearsecond: No, just the Desktop CD [21:57] kneeki-> kill it with xkill [21:57] ellar: May I recommend fluxbox or icewm? [21:57] I ran a PII-400 384MB RAM with 8.04 fine. only got rid of it because I had faster machines. it still did the job. [21:58] fluxbox's nice :) [21:58] ellar: yes, but theres no way 224mb of ram is whats on his chips, it should be 256 [21:58] graingert: I'm doing some updates right now, should I wait you think? [21:58] Voltaire: why? Ilike the gnome desktop and for me it's ok. But thanks8-) [21:58] Shared video memory maybe? Sometimes reported like that [21:58] Iceman_B^Laptop: testparm [21:58] gartral: 224 is possible. 128 + 64 + 32 [21:58] gartral, shared video [21:58] kneeki-> dunno [21:58] maybe [21:58] i tried to install ubuntu bt it was hanged [21:58] so i installed xubuntu [21:58] deany: good theory. shared video memory. [21:58] but in up to try the 7,10 [21:58] ellar: if he has AGP shared memory why not? [21:58] gearsecond: That's fine. Xubuntu is just as good. [21:59] gearsecond: did you try the alternate installer? [21:59] xubuntu [21:59] no [21:59] if I just install the nvidia driver i want from apt-get, is that the same thing that the restricted drivers app does? or is there other configurations that must be done? [21:59] as soon I deactivate the drivers and reboot the fan stops spinning at high speed , but then my sound starts to lag when I scroll a webpage [21:59] deany: yea, i forgot, old hardware shares ram, im so used to my nvidia cards [21:59] but xubuntu is also giving me troubles [21:59] cuz it gets hanged [21:59] gartral, and me my 256mb mobility radeon 9800 :_ [21:59] i supose that its because of the ram memory [21:59] gearsecond: Try fluxbuntu? [21:59] gearsecond: That's not a likely cause. [22:00] deany: my laptop has the 128 mb one :) [22:00] QPrime: ?? I didn't comment on that! He should give a try but its going to be difficult [22:00] Flannel: then what it could be? [22:00] ellar: yeah you were the wrong target. ooops! ;) === bitfish is now known as bitFISH === Voltaire is now known as VOLTAIRE [22:01] gearsecond: No idea. But not RAM issues. (well, unless the RAM is going bad) [22:01] gartral, 128mb 9800? you mean the 9700 [22:01] Hi. I'm trying to record video in DOSbox, which uses the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+F5. Unfortunately in Ubuntu, this just sends me to the virtual terminal. Is there a way to disable the virtual terminal, or does anyone know how to change this shortcut in DOSbox? [22:01] Ok [22:01] gartral, my bro has one :) [22:01] but i vent got sound on xubuntu [22:01] what should i do to? [22:01] deany - Gone for the workround solution - created sub-directories owned by me, seems to work [22:01] Nevermind, I think I just found the answer... [22:01] How can I see the users list in XChat-gnome? [22:01] gearsecond: try some other distros based on Ubuntu, as they seem to work better [22:02] deany - So thanks for the help, really appreciated :) [22:02] chazco, np [22:02] ChotaZ: ctrl+f7 [22:02] At last - got my Desktop working properly again [22:02] guntbert: wont work [22:02] so, why is Compiz so good and emerald sucks so bad? [22:02] no one knows anything about restricted drivers manager? [22:03] quick question. How do i move the text in the window border to the middle? Like the name of the window text. [22:03] gearsecond, take a look at 'ps aux' or 'top' and see if there's anything still running that is in control of alsa. [22:03] gartral: Compiz manages the windows, emerald gives the decorations [22:03] ChotaZ, do you have a "View" Menu ? [22:03] alabamahit: that's a property of the theme [22:03] nado, I do but nothing there ? [22:03] gartral, i find without emerald my videos are choppy as hell...with emerald and a theme they are fine (using X11 yes) [22:03] anthonys: yes, but emerald looks.... horible [22:03] ChotaZ: sorry, didn't read the whole line, I use xchat (not -gnome) [22:03] guntbert: thank you ! [22:03] ChotaZ, weird man.. [22:03] guntbert: trhough wine? [22:04] gartral: that is the theme that you are using for emerald. you can find more from synaptic or just looking around online [22:04] Iceman_B^Laptop: you're welcome [22:04] ChotaZ, it's just xchat.. gnome doesn't have much to do with xchat [22:04] and im using Dust, GTK and emerald.. not a lot of difference with the emerald one.. and somehow, my vids are smooth [22:04] ChotaZ: why wine? [22:04] crdlb, yeah but how do you change it. I konw its in the theme....but how do yo umodify it. [22:04] anthonys: ive made several of my own, but the action buttons keep disappearing on my focused window [22:04] guntbert: thought xchat-gnome was the xchat port for linux <.< [22:05] alabamahit: well, you'd have to learn how to edit metacity themes (assuming you're using metacity or gtk-window-decorator) [22:05] ChotaZ, xchat existed on linux before it was ported to an other OS :) [22:05] ChotaZ: no, there is xchat too [22:05] gartral: are you sure that you're doing it right? === bitFISH is now known as bitfish [22:05] ChotaZ, just xchat is what you want [22:05] why people use xchat-gnome i dont know.. just use xchat2.. [22:05] !info xchat | ChotaZ [22:05] nado: I guess xD [22:05] ChotaZ: xchat (source: xchat): IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.6-2ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 315 kB, installed size 840 kB [22:05] crdlb, so you saying i can not use a .gtkrc-2.0 file to change it? [22:05] deany: I use irssi. or chatzilla if I want gui. [22:05] ChotaZ, sudo apt-get install xchat [22:05] anthonys: there is no doing it wrong, you go through the theam editor and make a theme, but the button keep disappearing on my windows.... [22:06] nado: ill remove this one with adept first, brb [22:06] PhotoJim, i used chatzilla in windows , nice app.. but in linux i prefer xchat [22:06] alabamahit: indeed, you need to duplicate the metacity theme and modify it [22:06] PhotoJim, and xchat in windows costs money :) [22:06] gartral: I've never had that problem. Maybe Metacity or something is messing with it? [22:06] deany: I use irssi and chatzilla in windows too. well, irssi on a Linux box via PuTTy. [22:06] "PhotoJim, and xchat in windows costs money :)" ¿¿really??
