[00:00] diablo: is the error happening in ubuntu or fedora? [00:00] diablo: how can you be running ubuntu and trying to install fedora ? [00:00] Hi, how I can use a ".sh" file. [00:00] LEX_WELL: sh ./file.sh [00:00] Gnea: Is necessary something like chmod ? [00:01] LEX_WELL: only if you want to make it permanent [00:01] LEX_WELL: chmod u+x [00:01] LEX_WELL: but chmod 700 file.sh will do it too [00:01] ubuntu is my os right now when i boot i get that error i google it and no help but it does have to do with ubuntu becuase something in ubuntu is not letting me install fedora [00:01] did anyone know that ftp.linux.hr is down? [00:01] diablo: what are you talking about [00:01] Gnea : Its just to install an application. [00:01] Gnea: Leaving other permissions set is desirable. [00:01] !dualboot | diablo [00:01] diablo: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [00:01] diablo: ubuntu install is NOTHING to do with a fedora install having a problem [00:01] Guest12053: assume nothing. [00:01] I thought that this forum was about xubuntu [00:01] Gnea: Assume nothing as well. [00:02] UKGent: try #xubuntu [00:02] diablo: you should check those out and make sure you're doing it right [00:02] Guest12053: I don't, I make sure first. :) [00:02] deany, easytag works well if you want to manually redo tags... but i have about 2000 unknown artist tagged mp3's and file names because i ripped these CD's while I had no internet connection..... is there something that will hit the online database and automatically tag files? [00:02] lol sorry - pressed the wrong button - no wonder I kept being 'off topic' lol [00:02] hello [00:02] LEX_WELL: right, then sh ./file.sh will be good enough [00:02] thanks for the link ubottu i'll check it out [00:02] ok,so besides pidgin,what are the best instant messaging tools for ubuntu that combine integration between protocols,customizable eye candy features and lots of configuring options? [00:02] did anyone know that ftp.linux.hr is down? [00:03] j/ #xubuntu [00:03] the only way I know who's song is what, is by looking at the folder it is under [00:03] mhall119: could you walk me through that again please? [00:03] lol [00:03] i got one question!!! @@@ :] [00:03] Pimp: does anyone care ? it's nothing to do with ubuntu [00:03] sierinjs: say it, don't spray it [00:03] ikonia: it does since i'm trying to get packages [00:03] ok [00:03] Pimp: contact the maintainer then [00:03] Pimp: assuming your using that as mirror [00:03] can i set different icons for different workspaces? :] [00:03] Gnea: Thanks! I get try it. [00:04] IAmWill, i think easytag auto gets ID tag info . [00:05] deany, i didnt see it... maybe i am just blind though... i will keep poking around [00:05] ? anyone has answer to my question? ;D [00:06] QUESTION: any value to using LVM on a laptop with one drive? [00:06] sierinjs: your question doesn't make any sense. please rephrase. [00:06] sierinjs: the workspacs are shared [00:06] dand-tx: not really no [00:06] dand-tx: unless your disk layout changes a lot and your disk is quite big [00:07] dand-tx: If you would like to use dm-crypt or plan on resizing the volume at any time, then yes, you could use it [00:07] sry for my english, but the idea is this: workspaces has different icons xD ... well i can't say it more clearly ;D [00:07] Gnome session works fine for root, but I have ruined it for my normal user... can't login to failsafe gnome session either. Is there a way to fix? [00:07] Any way I can completely reset everything to do with graphics, the propriety nvidia driver used to work ok before I messed up by trying to install a newer one, now even if I reinstall it the screen is still messed up [00:08] todd_r: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:08] Guest12053: he wasn't asking if he could or couldn't use it, but whether or not it's a decent option to use on a system like that. [00:08] ikonia: Gues12053: thank you [00:08] Gnea: That depends on his needs. No need for hostility. [00:08] Guest12053: who's being hostile? [00:08] Hi, I setup remote VNC login following this thread, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=795036 however this does not present a physical login screen but an applet where I can choose a session. What I would like is to see the actual login screen or be able to resume a local user session remotely, how could I do this? Also I noticed that this method does not allow for the Shutdown option in the power menu [00:09] IAmWill, i dont know if it can be done, with any app...not any artist, you can tag what tracks you want, but i dont think it can auto tag every folder with various artists [00:09] Is there a command to make gnome re-create default config files for a user? [00:10] Hi I currently use Windows XP Professional and I was wondering what the benefits of switching to ubuntu would be? [00:10] can I have an op ban a spammer? [00:10] h00k: what's up? [00:10] h00k: where is the spammer? [00:10] mnemonic76: just delete them [00:10] Thanks Guest10253, sorry forgot to mention I've just tried that [00:10] Shirkiya, [00:10] mib_ofi7r2: well.. for one thing you'll get an os that is updated [00:10] mib_ofi7r2, conficker virus for one lol [00:10] IAmWill: musicbrainz or picard [00:10] h00k: where is he spamming ? [00:10] Gnea: sry for my english, but the idea is this: workspaces has different icons xD ... well i can't say it more clearly ;D [00:10] ikonia, jrgp Shirkiya is spamming in Spanish. Privmsgs [00:10] Guest12053: I wasn't being hostile, I was pointing out how you mis-interpretted the question posed by the user. Not trying to be rude or anything like that, just letting you know. [00:11] todd_r: That should reset xorg.conf [00:11] h00k: use /ignore [00:11] :/ [00:11] Well, I think I did, and now I can't log in.. I get the message that the session lasted les than 10 seconds, and there is a log file... butthe log file is empty! [00:11] todd_r: Which should have priority over the autoconf [00:11] What are the advantages of using Ubuntu over Windows? [00:11] Shirkiya: please stop spamming users in the #ubuntu channel [00:11] Guest12053, i saw that for windows... is that for *nix too? [00:11] mib_ofi7r2: different ways or working, give it a try [00:11] mnemonic76: what did you do exactly? [00:11] mnemonic76: well it depends on your computer usage, and then their is the obvious, better security, very stable, etc [00:11] IAmWill: I believe so. You can search the repositories with apt-cache or synaptic [00:12] sierinjs: I see... usually the workspaces have the same icon layout for each one, so if you make a change on one workspace, it takes effect on all of them... that would be a question you'd want to ask in #gnome or #metacity [00:12] How does Ubuntu work in a different way? [00:12] !ubuntu | mib_ofi7r2 [00:12] mib_ofi7r2: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [00:12] mib_ofi7r2: it's a totally different opertaing system [00:12] mib_ofi7r2: try a live cd [00:12] Gnea: mky, ill try :] [00:12] mib_ofi7r2: oh I was meant to send that to you the spammer, not whoever that was, I think your better to talk about Ubuntu in #ubuntu-offtopic [00:13] Guest12053, [00:13] Guest12053, thanks [00:13] sebsebseb: it's fine to ask about #ubuntu in here [00:13] ikonia: ok :) [00:13] mib_ofi7r2: most of those questions are answered either on the website, or by trying it out yourself - different people have different experiences and uses for Ubuntu - there's no one-size-fits-all, like what microsoft attempts to do [00:13] ikonia: well it wasn't direct suppourt question, but ok your the op, not me [00:14] mib_ofi7r2: Ubuntu should not be seen as a replacement for Windows; if that is what you seek, then you are going to be sorely disappointed. Ubuntu is a Linux distribution which operates on a different set of paradigms. [00:14] jrib: i did this : cd /home/username rm -rf .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity reboot [00:14] sebsebseb: you're welcome to take him to -offtopic for a more detailed discussion of course, no harm in that [00:14] mib_ofi7r2: it depends on your computer usage, and what you want to do, if Ubuntu is any good or not [00:14] fd [00:14] mib_ofi7r2: what is your computer usage? [00:14] lk [00:14] mnemonic76: does a new fresh user work without issue? [00:14] mib_ofi7r2: Ubuntu can be a replacement for Windows, depending on the correct circumstances. You should evaluate it first to see if your circumstances meet those requirements. [00:15] I have not tried that yet.. on e sec, [00:15] I'm doing an assignment in C++ this semester. [00:15] mnemonic76: by the way, you didn't remove pulse right? [00:15] and I check my email, and browse the internet [00:16] Is there any way to get a GVFS network mount to stay put across reboots and things, so I don't have to browse for it each time? [00:16] mib_ofi7r2: in general Linux distros are better than WIndows for proggramming [00:16] mib_ofi7r2: check the links ubottu gave you [00:16] Transgaming : can I install & play a Windows game (call of duty,...) on linux ? [00:16] sebsebseb: thats nonsense now [00:16] ikonia: why? [00:16] sebsebseb: Not necessarily.. [00:16] sebsebseb: linux is not "better for programming" [00:16] mib_ofi7r2: you're in luck then, Ubuntu can install, freely, the G++ compiler. There are a plethora of email clients available and browser options to choose from. [00:16] !appdb | safsoft [00:16] safsoft: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [00:16] sebsebseb: That's a matter of opinion. And say you want to program in C#... [00:17] thanks ubottu ;) [00:17] jrib: I don't know what pulse is... btw I just created a new user and tried logging in and got the same thing... "session less than 10 sec" etc. [00:17] well Ubuntu is probably good for proggramming, unless you want to program Windows apps [00:17] mnemonic76: Pulseaudio? [00:17] mnemonic76: what did you do last before this happened? [00:17] Guest12053: it would be poor taste and manners to not recommend Ubuntu in the #ubuntu channel. [00:17] i have my pc plugged into ethernet, and my connection is fine, but the tray shows an icon that I am not connected, anyone know how to fix this? [00:17] s/the #ubuntu/any :) [00:17] lol [00:17] Gnea: It would be in poor taste to suggest that Linux is superior to every other operating system. [00:18] Uh... the commands I listed above... cd /home/username THEN rm -rf .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity THEN reboot [00:18] [00:18] Gnea: personally I think we should be honest... linux has its good sides and bad sides.. [00:18] Guest12053: again, that depends on what the user is hoping to accomplish. [00:18] anyone here know how i can do a windows install on one of my slave drives? [00:18] peepsalot: killall dhclient && dhclient [00:18] mnemonic76: right. Other than that since those wouldn't affect new users [00:18] Slart: I'm not saying that it doesn't [00:18] dolo: ask ##windows [00:18] Gnea: ok, then I agree.. =) [00:19] mib_ofi7r2: still here? [00:19] yes [00:19] jrib: I didn't do anything else except at some point before the reboot I allowed the update manager to install some updates, and I installed epiphany [00:19] Guest12053, dhclient: no process killed [00:19] mnemonic76: what version of ubuntu? [00:19] 8.04 [00:19] mib_ofi7r2: what do you want to program? what language? and what else do you want to do on a computer? [00:20] sebsebseb: s/he said C++ [00:20] This semester I'm studying C++. [00:20] peepsalot: Then just execute the 2nd part of that command. That's your problem. dhclient [00:20] hello good night [00:20] mnemonic76: let's try to figure out what is wrong on the new user's account. Does ~/.xsession-errors contain anything? [00:20] Email, and Internet [00:20] jrib: lemme see [00:20] mib_ofi7r2: indeed, but do you want to use it as just a proggramming OS, or a proper alternative to Windows with other computer usage being done on it as well? [00:20] i have a problem with the updates [00:20] Guest12053, do i have to do that with sudo? [00:20] mib_ofi7r2: contact the instructor and see if you are required to use windows [00:20] jrib: it's empty [00:20] Guest12053, i think it is because I manually edited my nameservers once [00:20] mib_ofi7r2: you'd be fine with Ubuntu then. Do you require an IDE? [00:21] peepsalot: I don't believe so but if it denies you the ability to, go ahead. [00:21] The instructor said that the assignment MUST compile on g++ 4.1.2 [00:21] I have an ADSL connection with a router, how can I entrer with ssh to router to open/close some ports ? thanks! [00:21] peepsalot: You're just asking your router for an ip address [00:21] Huh, thats weird. I just ordered a reboot from Ubuntui, and now I'm stuck on a screen that saids "acpid: exiting" [00:21] i got another, very dumb question ;D - with what i can play my mp3's ? [00:21] mib_ofi7r2: then Ubuntu is perfect for your needs. [00:21] mib_ofi7r2, cool, you should be set with Ubuntu [00:21] sierinjs: double click on them in nautilus [00:21] Guest12053, ok i ran it, and nothing changed, i still have that icon [00:21] mkay [00:21] !info g++ [00:22] peepsalot: Can you ping your router now? [00:22] g++ (source: gcc-defaults (1.74ubuntu2)): The GNU C++ compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.3.1-1ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 1 kB, installed size 40 kB [00:22] mib_ofi7r2: yep Ubuntu should be fine [00:22] yes I can pingit [00:22] Guest12053, my connection is fine, i'm chatting with you from this vary box [00:22] very [00:22] mib_ofi7r2: then you are fine [00:22] peepsalot: What was the problem then? [00:22] !install [00:22] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - see also !automate [00:22] Guest12053, that tray app thinks i have no connection for some reason [00:22] sierinjs, if you mean players.., there are lot.. exaile, amarok, banshee, audacious, (even xmms) [00:22] seem that the port 22 for ssh is closed [00:23] mib_ofi7r2: lot of good info for installation methods there ^^^ [00:23] mib_ofi7r2: probably won't be too helpful but do other window managers work? [00:23] mnemonic76: probably won't be too helpful but do other window managers work? mib_ofi7r2 ignore my last [00:23] peepsalot: That should be because you manually defined your connection, correct? [00:23] not forgettin songbird [00:24] peepsalot: Nothing you can do about it (as far as I know). gnome-network-manager likes to manage. :) [00:24] sierinjs, also rhythmbox [00:24] Guest12053, yeah i can't remember exactly what i've changed, it's been like this for a while now. [00:24] or moc ;] [00:24] deany: yea' , but the player which is built-in can't play it :/ it says it doesn't have codecs [00:24] oh :-( [00:24] jrib: I just tried failsafe gnome and xfce and neither work... I can only log in to gnome as root... maybe there's some kind of permission issue... [00:25] sierinjs: you need to add the medibuntu repo [00:25] peepsalot: You could let gnome-network-manager go back to managing your connections, but you'd have to undo your changes. [00:25] I can use PuTTY to log in to my Universities Linux box though. [00:25] is there a way to install iceweasel on ubuntu? [00:25] mnemonic76: hmm, what does xfce say? [00:25] Guest12053, is there an easy way to set those back to defaults? [00:25] gmap: Iceweasel is firefox [00:25] They offer us SSH access. [00:25] gmap: Iceweasel is firefox (well, mostly) [00:25] anthonys: to that? ;D that's like a program or smth? ;D [00:25] peepsalot: You'd have to know the changes you've made. [00:25] jrib: same message as gnome and failsafe gnome "session less than 10 sec" [00:25] aw man, i forgot [00:25] mib_ofi7r2: well you can play a lot more with linux on your own box, not to mention you can try out the desktop [00:25] gmap: Iceweasel exists, because of Debian and Mozilla nonsense, as a result better to use real Firefox [00:26] peepsalot: Check /etc/network/interfaces [00:26] sierinjs: it is a repository for apt that adds support for restricted codecs. Just google it, you'll find instructions etc… [00:26] it's ok, thanks peepsalot [00:26] i think ubuntu-restricted-extras is the package [00:26] can anyone give me a hand with mounting a flash drive? i can see it in lsusb but can't figure out how to see which sda it is [00:26] anthonys: mkay :] thanks for the tip [00:26] sierinjs: no problem [00:26] anthonys: Careful recommending unofficial repositories. They have potential for seriously messing up your installation. [00:26] for all the gstreamer stuff [00:27] jrib: Ok then, sounds exciting! [00:27] my development machine is ubuntu and my kiosk machine is debian. i would like the browsers to be the same. either i install iceweasel on ubuntu or firefox on debian [00:27] So half the fun of Ubuntu is that you can get involved? [00:27] Guest12053: true, but Meditbuntu is *supposed* to be safe, and all it does is add support for some nonfree codecs etc [00:27] gmap: put Firefox on Debian [00:27] anthonys: Automatix was supposed to be the same way.. ;) [00:28] what is pan0? [00:28] sebsebseb can i do that? [00:28] Guest12053: yeah… but it's alot easier to use Medibuntu than to do it yourself [00:28] gmap: of course [00:28] how? [00:28] gmap: You probably going to hve to compile one on the other. [00:28] mib_ofi7r2: what does "df -h" return? [00:28] gmap: Actually, firefox probably has official binaries on their website [00:28] gmap: get it directly from Mozilla or I guess you can enable some Debian repo === anthonys is now known as PoetOfShadows [00:29] PoetOfShadows: If its worth it to you. [00:29] jrib: I'm on Windows at the moment [00:29] Guest12053: I assume that he wants it to "just work" [00:29] peepsalot, pan0 is a network device, probably represents a bluetooth adapter (pan = personal area network) [00:29] what command would I use in vim to replace all instances of a word with another word? [00:30] mib_ofi7r2: yeah sorry, I keep typing your name instead of mnemonic76's [00:30] PoetOfShadows: I'll give you that. On the other hand, is it legal? (DCMA and all that fun) [00:30] mnemonic76: what does "df -h" return? [00:30] mib_ofi7r2, dual boot for a while,. try out stuff see if its for you. [00:30] Is there any way to hide your email on Ubuntu Launchpad, I was just looking at it and it looks like the emails are all there plan text! [00:30] PoetOfShadows: I'll give you that. On the other hand, is it legal? (DMCA** and all that fun) [00:30] If I use launchpad I'll start getting spam [00:30] Guest12053: I'm pretty sure nobody is gonna come busting down his door because of the fact that he is playing his legally owned mp3s [00:30] anyone have experience in vi? [00:30] mib_ofi7r2: You don't have to make your email public, no. Also, I haven't ever gotten spam from my LP [00:31] !ask | Guest59065 [00:31] Guest59065: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:31] Guest59065: me! [00:31] PoetOfShadows: Didn't pay royalties for his mp3 codec though! :O (horror of horrors!) [00:31] anyone know how to join a chat channel ? [00:31] fglrx defintantly doesn't like my card... [00:31] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/140392/ [00:31] like, not the ubuntu one, a differenct one [00:31] Guest12053: too damn bad for them [00:31] april: /join #channel [00:31] mib_ofi7r2, I also, haven't gotten any spam from Launchpad [00:31] mib_ofi7r2: "change details" will let you hide it [00:31] running gnome-terminal with custom command "screen -d -R" is awesome [00:31] can anyone give me a hand with mounting a flash drive? i can see it in lsusb but can't figure out how to see which sda it is [00:31] thanks [00:31] i no longer clutter my desktop with terminals [00:31] what command would I use in vim to replace all instances of a word with another word? [00:31] thanks guest 12053 ^____________________________^ [00:31] mnemonic76: notice anything interesting there? :) [00:31] Guest12053: yeah Microsoft nearly got sued over MP3 suppourt, or they did get sued, but all this kind of talk is offtopic here! [00:31] guest9375: You can use fdisk -l [00:31] Hello [00:32] Guest59065, I have some vi experience. want to PM a question? vi isn't strictly "ubuntu" so it might be a little off-topic. [00:32] !ask | Mencar [00:32] Mencar: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:32] Guest12053: s/word1/word2/ Although you may want to improve that alittle, with making sure word1 isn't inside of something else [00:32] wtf [00:32] Guest59065: :%s/a word/another word/g :he :s [00:33] oops wrong channel [00:33] jrib: Aww crap... I resized the partition to create a new root partition to dual boot intrepid! Duh... sorry... but thanks for helping me figure that out! === Guest12053 is now known as NOTguest12053 [00:33] heh at people that get wrong channel :D [00:33] mnemonic76: sudo apt-get clean may get you enough room to login [00:33] that was easy. thank you very much Guest12053 [00:34] im trying to join irc.vanachat.com #Wine but i dont know how :( [00:34] jrib: thanks a lot! [00:34] guest9375: Certainly. [00:34] Did launchpad use to show your email to people? [00:34] april: you need to log in to vanachat [00:34] april: this is irc.freenode.net [00:34] ah, k, ty [00:34] april_: there's a good #winehq channel here on Freenode [00:35] mib_ofi7r2: yes, it shows your email (so people can contact you if they wish) [00:35] it looks like launchpad used to show your email, from wayback machine. Did they change it? [00:35] mib_ofi7r2, you can change it to show your email or not [00:35] hmm, might check it out. although, im specifically looking for a ffxi/playonline channel [00:35] hi guys, how do you normally share screenshots here? [00:35] having a bit of trouble with my dxdiagn.dll [00:35] For some reason when I put in the 9.04 beta in my aluminum imac, it shows a black screen and a blinking _ in the top left corner. I know my cd isnt bad because I remade it and i tried it in vmware and it works fine. Any tips? [00:35] april_: /server irc.vanachat.com 6667 then /join #wine [00:35] stephenr82: upload to a site and give people link, or send via pm [00:35] stephenr82: We usually collect text output from log files. [00:36] fat_rat: ty ^^ [00:36] stephenr82: or get text stuff and use pastebin [00:36] !pastebin [00:36] 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) [00:36] april: np [00:37] thanks guys, ill stick them on flikr and then ask my question :) [00:38] ??

[00:40] I used to use ubuntu as my primary OS but I got an aluminum imac a few months ago and used mac. I want to try ubuntu again but the livecd isnt loading on my imac.. It isnt going to the menu and is just showing a black screen with a blinking _ in the top left corner.I tried my cd in vmware and it works fine and I remade it. Is there a problem with running the livecd on new imacs? [00:40] ep2011: have you tried booting with rEFIt? [00:41] PoetOfShadows: I need to install rEFIt to boot linux cds? I've never used linux on intel macs so explain please [00:41] ep2011: No, you shouldn't have to.

[00:43] Flannel: That page shows how to install ubuntu, I just want to run the livecd [00:44] Flannel: he has an intel mac, so the third link isn't any good. he also has an iMac, so the second isn't either. and the first is useless for a mac [00:44] ep2011: You shouldn't have to do anything just to boot from the CD (well, except make it boot to the CD) [00:44] Flannel, ep2011: and rEFIt makes that process easy [00:45] PoetOfShadows: If he just wants to boot from the CD, its likely he doesn't want to touch anything thats already set up. [00:45] any ideas guys? [00:46] guys i want to know if it is possible to let my windows wobble to the beat of my music, using compiz [00:46] Flannel: I don't know of a way to boot from the CD if he doesn't use rEFIt [00:46] PoetOfShadows: I know how to boot from cds, so rEFIt shouldn't effect me running a cd [00:46] ep2011: If its just blinking with a cursor, it may be a graphics problem.

[00:59] zelda: 3 since it's newer [01:00] genericname24350: that shouldnt be the case, the intervals are random [01:00] zelda: not sure if either version is in the Ubuntu repo though [01:00] just now I was logged in for 90 minutes or so [01:00] where can I double check that setting ? [01:00] no. I have livdvdread3 installes [01:00] !info libdvdcss3 [01:00] er installed. [01:00] Iceman_B^Ltop: Are you maintaining a constant connection?

[01:02] zelda: well if you got css2 that should be ok as well [01:02] Iceman_B^Ltop: Strange. I'm not really sure why that happens. [01:02] I dont know whats causing the connection to drop, thats the annoying part, my network connection is fine apaprantly. I mean I can still chat here [01:02] sebsebseb: thanks. I'll look around.

[01:03] u [01:03] I'm replacing a server running dapper (primarily file server, svn, ssh, etc.) -- I have two choices, 8.04LTS or 9.04. It will be headless on the other side of the country for at least 2 years from then. Any recommendations which way I should go? [01:03] well, I switched from ubuntu desktop to Ubuntu server [01:03] so I gues sthe configfiles are different [01:03] pkh: LTS is preferable for servers [01:03] but locally im still connecting on port 22 [01:03] pkh: 9.04 not released yet, and yes go with LTS for server [01:04] Iceman_B^Ltop: Does it still drop when you're on the local network? [01:04] k, thanks [01:04] yeah [01:04] this laptop is on the same local network [01:04] its all 192.168.x.x [01:05] I have yet to connect over the internet to my machine [01:05] Iceman_B^Ltop: Oh, ok. I thought maybe you meant over the internet or something. Probably a configuration somewhere. [01:05] You've checked all the ssh & sshd stuff? (I don't remember the exact file locations) [01:06] I'll try checking them [01:06] better get screen [01:08] now I cant log in at all =_= putty keeps timing out [01:09] Iceman_B^Ltop: Can you ping the server? [01:10] I cant right now [01:10] it'll probably come up in a minute [01:10] this happened earlier too [01:10] maybe automatic updates? [01:11] its responding again [01:11] and you can log in?

[01:15] whoop [01:15] sebsebseb: is there another way to do that? [01:15] Iceman_B^Ltop: I agree. It's sounding like a network issue to me too. [01:16] zelda: get the deb for Ubuntu from their site or something I guess [01:16] hm. [01:16] zelda: apt-get install libdvdcss2 ?? [01:16] I did that.

I think it;s a network issue too. If I ssh into my router from here, and THEN ping the server, I get responses. but at the same time, I cant ping my server from this laptop [01:17] zelda: ,but you wanted to rip them as well [01:17] I can play all them fine.

[01:18] Hey all, does stopping the ALSA-service stop PulseAudio as well? [01:19] !scope [01:19] We don't need factoids for *everything*, or ten factoids for the same thing ;) [01:19] Oops. [01:19] your in the wrong channel for SUSE [01:19] Yes, this is ubuntu. [01:19] genericname24350: that shouldnt be an issue, should it? It's on all on the LAN side [01:19] Iceman_B^Ltop: Nope. [01:19] zelda: ok yeah you install stuff from synaptic if it's there. or apt-get commands :) however if it's not you get debs from site. or install from a tar.gz depending. anyway there is bound to be something for ripping dvd's. try these sites http://www.osalt.com http://www.linuxeq.com [01:19] so my router would just be bridging lan traffic [01:20] sebsebseb: ok i'll look around. [01:20] Iceman_B^Ltop: Yeah.. I don't know. :P. Just looking for stuff to tinker with. [01:20] sebsebseb: any suggestions on good programs? [01:20] does the Ubuntu server come wit ha firewall builtin ? [01:20] Stopped ALSA to use OSS and now PulseAudio is gone! [01:20] zelda: of course, as someone that has used Ubuntu since the second release, I know what to install :D [01:20] Iceman_B^Ltop, Yeah, if you have both the switch and the server connected to the LAN side, it should just be acting as a switch. [01:20] zelda: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [01:20] Iceman_B^Ltop: I believe you need to configure iptables yourself. [01:20] sebsebseb: whats a suggestion? [01:21] zelda: what do you want to do? [01:21] can anyone help me about Suse Linux please? [01:21] AntiNeko: pulse depends on alsa?

[01:21] suse isn't even debian based. very different. [01:21] only the router is set up to give out DHCP addresses [01:22] * zelda smacks his head at drinianet [01:22] Genericname24350: It does? Someone recommended Pulse 'cause I can't get my microphone to work with OSS. [01:22] AntiNeko: OSS is pretty much obsolete at this point. Pulseaudio & ALSA come installed by default. [01:22] fat_rat: that finished and sald ldconfig deffered processing now taking place [01:22] AntiNeko: You can emulate OSS in ALSA, however. [01:22] zelda: have you got AVI and MP3 suppourt? and as I said, what do you want to do with Ubuntu? [01:23] zelda: no point recommending pointless recommendations, because you asked me to recommend something to install [01:23] sebsebseb: Yeah I should I have VLC and other programs that will play AVI and MP4 [01:24] !players | zelda [01:24] zelda: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

If I changed my audio output to my USB headset from my SBlive card only pre-installed programs like Totem and Rythmbox seemed to nice. I couldn't get any sound in VLC and Amarok, they'd just stay with the SBlive card [01:24] sebsebseb: This is what im trying to do. Rip dvd's and convert to h264 for my mythbuntu box. [01:25] zelda: and mplayer can like play everything, and you may want w32codecs installed as well [01:25] my boys are driving me nuts. they get win xp pro games.. and yet, I don't have any boxes running xp [01:25] sebsebseb: i have banshee installed too [01:25] genericname24350: seemed to change* [01:25] zelda: you can use the commandline for stuff like that, or find a graphical program [01:25] zelda: the commands not sure [01:25] sebsebseb: thats what dvdOGMrip is. [01:26] but i cant get it to work. [01:26] zelda: I would recommend checking those two sites I gave you out, as well as googling for a soloution [01:26] ok thanks. [01:26] zelda: can't get that program to work why not? [01:26] bonez46: ok which games? [01:26] sebsebseb: well i configured it and when it goes to rip the dvd it errors out before it does anything. [01:27] ive tried what I can think of, as well as read a wiki from there site.. and followed it exact and its not working. [01:27] zelda: I don't know, since not used that program [01:27] whenever I do a "who" command, I see a bunch of PTY's listed, but only one of them is truly active, shouldnt the others disappear when my network connection drops ? [01:27] zelda: however that program runs on the command line? [01:27] <_chun> I'd like to try out this graphical menu for GRUB - http://grub.gibibit.com/ - problem is I'm fairly new to linux/ubuntu, though, and I've no idea how to install it or set it up. Is it just a matter of extracting the iso to /boot, or...? [01:27] anybody know of any xmms-clones that are not considered "legacy" and are winamp-like? [01:27] yeah its all good. maybe I'll do it command line, or find a different program, or just do that in windows [01:28] Iceman_B^Ltop, I don't have much more to suggest - you sure your cables are good? That sounds like such a dumb thing to suggest, but in my experience, it happens a bit. [01:28] zelda: you know about Wine? how about virtual machines? [01:28] sebsebseb: yes. I run VM's [01:28] _chun: you can get like a kubuntu splash and edit the grub config file a bit for some nicer colours. instead of doing whatever that is [01:29] sebsebseb: I may just use handbrake. [01:29] is there parental controls for ubuntu [01:29] hi i need help. Im trying to install Vuze 4.2 on to Intrepid Ibex [01:29] zelda: yeah I was going to say, don't boot up phsyical Ubuntu for DVD burning. a vm inside Ubuntu that's ok [01:29] RussM_: well, my internet connection runs over the same line, so at least everything up until the router must be fine [01:29] does any1 have any experience using fslit? [01:30] and the router itself can ssh into the server just fine so.... [01:30] manny: vuze is alright, but how about ktorrent? more light waight and very nice looking if it's the KDE4 version [01:30] does any1 have any experience using fslint? [01:30] manny: which it will be if on 8.10 and probably if on 8.04 and you run sudo apt-get install ktorrent [01:31] is there parental controls that can be added to ubuntu? [01:31] can someone help me with fslint, or wild cards? [01:31] trinidadflores: not exactly, but the hosts file or something, and you can block domain names and ip addresses of sites. ,but not sure where that is locacted :( [01:31] Iceman_B^Ltop, Yeah, probably not, then. You could try running wireshark on the server to see if the pings are getting to it. [01:31] I'm confused about RAM. I have 1.5gigs of pc2-4300 @ 266mhz, and 1gig of pc2-5300 @ 333mhz. Are these even compatible? I'm not even seeing pc2-4300 on newegg. [01:31] i like transmission but i want vuze to stream content to my ps3 [01:31] and it detects all the ram [01:31] keres: try #hardware [01:31] what does winbind do? [01:31] keres: also your issues is Ubuntu specific [01:31] unless not also above [01:32] RussM_: does wireshark have a CLI interface? I'm running a headless server [01:32] what could happen if I remove it? [01:32] sebsebseb:i like transmission but i want vuze to stream content to my ps3 [01:32] any one know what the wild card is to select certain files that are in a higher directoiry [01:32] manny: ok as far as I know, you sitll need java installed for vuze [01:32] does any1 have any experience with fslint? [01:32] sebsebseb: almost like tversity. [01:32] manny: maybe it's still known as Azureus in the Ubuntu repo [01:33] sebsebseb: ok lets start with java then [01:33] Does anyone know why ubuntu would drop to a prompt like (initramfs) when I'm booting the live cd? [01:33] manny: you talking like tversity in windows? [01:33] manny: you know how to install? [01:33] *dreamgild [01:33] zelda: whats that mean? lol [01:34] sebsebseb: java ive tried i hope i did it right [01:34] manny: yeah the sun version === balgus is now known as Floops [01:34] manny: tversity is a program that will transcode video etc and put it out to any upnp device. [01:34] so, psp, ps3... xbox [01:34] Web-sidux633: how old is your computer? how much RAM? [01:35] Iceman_B^Ltop, I'm not sure, I've only used the GUI. I know there must be a tty based tool, though. [01:35] k [01:35] zelda: no the new version of vuze can stram to PS3 and 360 thats why i want it now lol [01:35] this is the most frusttrating kind of problem [01:35] manny: oh. I use that. [01:35] sebsebseb: can you help me install java [01:35] sebsebseb: I have 4GB of ram. It's a vaio fw235 and it's only a month old. Intel core 2 duo 2.0GHz [01:35] can i completely remove/hide gnome-panel? [01:35] manny: didnt know it would stream to ps3, xbox.. [01:36] Web-sidux633: I think you can Google and get your answer, I am not sure about the answer [01:36] Iceman_B^Ltop: tcpdump is an option, if you're discussing wireshark [01:36] zelda: its a new feature [01:36] kantlivelong: right click - remove [01:36] manny: easiest way is to go to there website. [01:36] sebsebseb: I'll try that, thanks [01:36] !realtek [01:36] some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b [01:36] twolane: whats that ? [01:36] sun.java.com [01:36] iceroot: i have one panel left. cant delete it [01:36] manny: of course, do you want just Java, or other things like AVI suppourt and MP3 and Flash and so on [01:36] theres a deb in there. [01:36] zelda: i did and downloaded the file but it doesnt work [01:36] kantlivelong: hm, works fine here [01:36] zelda: or i didnt do it right [01:36] must not have gotten the .deb version [01:37] hi [01:37] iceroot: the final panel remaining the delete button is gray [01:37] sebsebseb: java for now [01:37] cause then all you need to do from there is double click.. [01:37] RussM_ parhaps my router is at fault. I cant connect to my server from here, but if I ssh into my router and then from there into my server, no prblem [01:37] Iceman_B^Ltop: what do you want to do, tcpdump listens to an interface in promicuous mode. example. 'tcpdump -v -i eth0' [01:38] kantlivelong: try killall gnome-panel if it works, see if you can stop it from loading next time [01:38] hmm k [01:38] hm, now my router lost connection as well [01:38] kantlivelong: dont know if there is an option for not displaying it, so maybe kill i a good start [01:39] I'll reboot my router, just on case [01:39] manny: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras is the easiest way to get the stuff I mentioned, but if you want just Java. easiest way would be to go to a site that has a java applet in Firefox such as http://www.jonstorm.com and click on where the applet would go. then in the graphical thing choose sun java [01:39] iceroot: keeps restarting [01:39] kantlivelong: why you want to disable it? [01:39] im using AWN [01:39] manny: if you see the water on that site, you have Sun java already installed, or you installed one of the other versions. right clicking will probably tell you [01:39] sebsebseb: oh i have that already it works just fine in my browser and such [01:39] greetings [01:40] kantlivelong: there is an option "auto-hide" [01:40] manny: check that it's the sun version [01:40] iceroot: yes but it doesnt fully hide [01:40] ? [01:40] i wish to understand how to remove a driver and 'install' and different under ubuntu [01:40] does any1 know about wildcards [01:40] and fslint [01:41] !azureus | manny [01:41] can someone help me with fslint [01:41] manny: azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo [01:41] !vuze | manny [01:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about vuze [01:41] manny: ok there you go then :) [01:42] i wish to understand how to remove a driver and 'install' and different under ubuntu. i thank you in advance [01:42] largeprime: system > administration > hardware drivers [01:42] can anyone help me with wildcards? [01:42] sebsebseb great [01:42] beta testers whats your take on ubuntu 9.04 jaunty..? [01:42] sebsebseb: ok now for Vuze [01:42] manny: see above [01:42] does anyone know what wildcard(s) i can use to select everythng in the lower directory [01:43] brb, gonna reboot my router [01:43] manny: Azureues is vuze basically. yeah it got renamed to vuze [01:43] sebsebseb so i install a package and then use hardware drivers to choose? [01:43] i have a list of duplicates, and i want to delete all of the duplicates that are in the lower directory [01:43] manny: or get it from the vuze site [01:43] can someone help? [01:43] largeprime: what do you want to install? [01:43] ok [01:43] nic and wifi drivers sebsebseb [01:44] largeprime: Ubuntu's kernel deals with most drivers, they are built in, but wireless yeah may need to be configured [01:44] !wireless [01:44] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:44] sebsebseb 8.04 nic drivers seem to work with my nic but not 8.10 [01:44] is there a way to grab a version of ubuntu that will install a minimal base system (apt tools, command line, perhaps X with no WM/desk env)? [01:45] anybody recommend something to replace xmms? [01:45] DaveCo: just use the path and lastdir/* or /home/user/bottom/dir/*html [01:45] largeprime: 8.10 isn't really worth the upgrade from 8.04. same thing for 9.04 it seems, well 9.04 not out just yet [01:45] atrocity, VLC [01:45] okay [01:45] amarok [01:45] largeprime: 8.04 is also long term suppourt, unlike the other two [01:45] !lts [01:45] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [01:45] where as other versions are 180 months on the desktop [01:45] twolane, do you know the tool fslint, it finds dupes [01:46] sebsebseb great. should i remove 8.10 and install 8.04 [01:46] DaveCo: I know fdupes [01:46] Raven: VLC is too...big...i want something winamp-like [01:46] tuxFan: amarok good? [01:46] vlc has codecs for everything, which is why its b ig [01:46] sebsebseb in your humble opinion [01:46] if ur looking for JUST music playing [01:46] i have a local drive mounted how do i find it in bash [01:46] i want to delete all of the duplicates that are in the most subfolders [01:46] i'd use commandline mpg123 [01:46] raven: yes...i'd rather just use xmms :P...and ugh :P [01:46] /mounts <-- something like that, i remember [01:47] largeprime: sure why not. and as for 9.04 I am not sure if I can recommend people upgrade to it for various reasons after release. altough the Ext4 optional filesystem will probably be nice. anyway 9.04 stuff is offtopic here [01:47] yes [01:47] /media <-- looks right [01:47] ? [01:47] bonhoffer: mount -l [01:48] harls, thanks! [01:48] Iceman_B^Ltop, reboot help? [01:48] largeprime: with 8.04 you can also get KDE3 and 4 from Ubuntu repo, this is not the case with 8.10. KDE3 is no longer suppourted, but it is a nice desktop environment as well. 8.10 is only KDE4 [01:48] largeprime: keep 8.10 or go 8.04 up to you [01:48] DaveCo: I don't have fslint, fdupes I have. [01:48] harls, how do i force etc fstab again -- (remount everything) [01:48] oh. [01:48] RussM_: wish I could tell, I can log into the server, but for how long.

[01:49] how do i mount a usb drive as not read only? [01:50] largeprime: well Ubuntu can read and write to NTFS and Fat32, and Windows can read and write to Ext3, with a driver [01:50] bonhoffer: mount -a [01:50] Iceman_B^Ltop, If you ps -elf on the server, do you see the sshd processes associated with each of those logins? you should be able to kill them.

Shouldnt they die automatically though ? [01:52] Iceman_B^Ltop, Yes, they should. [01:52] Iceman_B^Ltop, Before killing them, what does a netstat -a show? [01:52] dsdeiz, er...i just plug my thumbdrives in and stuff, and they're auto-mounted as rw [01:52] how is this java ebay auction manager tool called again? [01:52] dsdeiz, except my D60, but that uses PTP i think, so who knows [01:52] i want to select one of all but one of the duplicates, and i want the one that is unselected to be the one in the least subfolders [01:53] ack, terminal lost again. sec === sebsebseb is now known as sebeb [01:53] I can't mount it [01:53] Does anyone know about making the framebuffer work? === sebeb is now known as sebsebseb [01:53] like select /media/disk/My Pictures/Day of Sport, swimming, E June 2008/010.AVI, unstead of /media/disk/My Videos/010.AVI [01:53] Is there a meeting at 7PM, in an hour?

[01:57] largeprime: remember to md5sum check the 8.04 ISO before burning, also when you set up having a seperate home partition is a great idea [01:57] DaveCo: there are no wildcards in that statement, i don't follow you === Web-sidux633 is now known as nangineer [01:57] largeprime: this? http://www.fs-driver.org [01:57] yep [01:57] yea [01:57] Can someone give me any tips about creating/enabling the framebuffer device?

[01:58] and vise versa right [01:58] i think it's just gnome-terminal [01:58] heh [01:58] My notebook is making a strange noise I think the problem is with the cpu fan cycles or maybe the hd cycles... can any one point me to a solution?

[02:01] Raven: there has been some issues with it's Ext4 suppourt as a result, I am waiting for final and some good views, before I decide if I am clean installing 9.04 with Jaunty. I currently run it on Ext3 [02:01] I'm gonna try changing the vga= in grub, thought [02:01] i just check out amarok...it's like freakint iTunes, lol [02:02] i see [02:02] Raven: that was a 8.10 to jaunty upgrade [02:02] i want something "thin"...like xmms...or winamp, but xmms is old [02:02] any ideas?

Any suggestions? [02:03] sebsebseb:at what point does it offer you the option of Ext4 formatting? Do you have to choose manual partitioning? [02:03] ah [02:03] I think it;s the server itself [02:03] Iceman_B^Ltop, If you run dmesg, it shows all the messages that went to the console. I was hoping that there might be a message somewhere around where it was losing the connection. [02:04] nangineer: in gparted, and yeah on manual, and that's offtopic here [02:04] wel, if I can stay connected long enough I should be able to get something out [02:04] so i have many pairs of duplicates, and the files are stored in diferent places [02:04] anyone know how i can make it so that ubuntu automatically loads ieee80211_crypt_tkip and my specified wl.ko drivers [02:04] ugh. I couldn't change it in grub becuase the module I loaded was loaded manualy [02:04] so after I rebooted it went away [02:05] hey all, I've got a question concerning symlinks vs. mount --bind. I've got two folders of Pidgin logs, one at its usual place, and the other somewhere else. Which method should I use to have them both available in the usual directory?

[02:08] Iceman_B^Ltop, I doubt it - most ethernet stuff is full duplex these days, AFAIK [02:08] I added the module that gave me the black screen to be loaded at boot! [02:08] hello [02:08] from my experience, half-duplex usually works better [02:08] but that could be empirical [02:08] im not that technical [02:09] could anyone possibly help me with bluetooth?

[02:13] hi [02:13] cactusfrog: hi [02:13] any idea how I set my eth0 to half duplex instead of full duplex [02:13] who knows, it might help [02:13] lceman: [02:14] i hate chicon soop [02:14] I think you meant chicken, and saying that here is offtopic [02:14] !ot [02:14] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:14] Iceman_B^Ltop, I don't have much more to suggest. Did you read the log files in /var/log? There are a lot of them, but I'd look at ones that were updated at approximately the time of a lost connection, or newer, that should narrow it down. But, I'm not sure if you'll find anything, since the netstat showed that from the server's perspective, the TCP connections were still ESTABLISHED. [02:14] I'm trying to debug a segmentation fault, where do I find the core dump? [02:15] anyone know a remote admin tool for ubuntu with a gui to view and manipulate files? [02:15] Cerrdor, it's built in, vinagre [02:15] Cerrdor: some sort of GUI for SSH? or use VNC to remote connect the computer and do things with the files. oh and if that's done on the net it should be tunneled over SSH, to make it secure [02:15] Cerrdor, look under internet > remote desktop viewer. it's a vnc client. [02:16] Iceman_B^Ltop, No, I've never tried to use half-duplex. With the exception of some older Cisco commercial rack mount routers my brother has, I have never seen any half-duplex 10/100/1000bT ethernet equipment. [02:16] sebsebseb the graphics card is built in, this is a laptop [02:16] okay [02:16] i believe it is i810 from intel [02:16] I have no idea where to start with the logs [02:16] sebsebseb [02:17] i tried what the wiki suggests but i am still having trouble with bluetooth, any suggestions? [02:17] Dante123: well yeah, but Ubuntu needs a driver for the graphics card [02:17] how do I sort a ls according to most recently changed? [02:17] Dante123: system > administaration > hardware drivers [02:17] SEGMENTATION FAULT. Sorry for shouting, but I'm trying to debug a segmentation fault, where do i find the core dump and how do i get started? It's gramps which is failing to start, that's a python app. [02:18] AziaBurgi: tell people your bluetooth problem, or they can't really help, and don't expect me to help with bluetooth, since I don't use it :D [02:18] how do i add vinagre to the menu? [02:18] lol, fair point [02:18] Iceman_B^Ltop, -t gives you time ordering, I recommend -lrt for reverse time ordered, so newest is at the end. [02:18] thank you [02:18] duncan_nz: vinagre isn't tunnled over SSH as far as I know? [02:18] Cerrdor, please read all the messages sent to you. It shoudl be there as 'Remote Desktop Viewer' [02:18] and the connection between my router and server dropped again [02:19] sebsebseb, correct. but by default it won't run over the net anyway. [02:19] im done with this for now, its way past 3 am [02:19] damn sure is thanks [02:19] duncan_nz: oh ok [02:19] thanks for all your time RussM_, I'm gonna sleep now [02:19] Iceman_B^Ltop, Can you take the router out of the config to see if that fixes it?

I have managed to send one file from my phone, once but i haven't been able to send anything else regardless of what i try [02:20] i'll try that as a last test then [02:20] sebsebseb, gosh it's hard to get noticed here. know anything about segmentation faults? [02:20] Iceman_B^Ltop, If you still lose connections between the laptop and the server, then you can at least rule out the router. [02:20] Isn't that factoid wrong? Does slackware use any packaging system? [02:21] driffter: I think it's #suse or #opensuse [02:21] duncan_nz: no I don't [02:21] !patience [02:21] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

[02:22] sebsebseb wouldn't running hardware drivers from livecd also show the drivers or is that only after install [02:22] proprietary drivers I mean [02:22] Yes, I can. I'm back in, and everything runs fine, I just get no sound. [02:22] purple you know something about suse [02:22] Dante123: the restricted propritrary driver won't be on by default, but usually it will ask to install it [02:22] it's just my music, so as long as i can put it on my ipod [02:22] RussM_ would that be where the .py file is? [02:23] is there a channel dedicated to bluetooth on ubuntu? [02:23] mefached: I don't know this will work but it should not hurt. In terminal type: ps aux | grep pulseaudio [02:23] hello .who can teach me use EKIGA [02:23] !ekiga [02:23] ekiga is an Internet telephony application included with Ubuntu, which supports the SIP and H323 protocols. Information and help at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga [02:23] mefached: then look at the PID numbers associated with what you see there. Then kill -9 each of those PID numbers. [02:23] <_Purple_> drinianet: /join #suse [02:23] opera, what do you need help with? [02:23] duncan_nz, Not necessarily. The current working directory is inherited from whatever started the process, unless it changes it. [02:23] sebsebseb, what if it says no proprietary drivers on this system. How do I change resolutions (especially when not all card/monitor is capable of are listed) under resolutions? [02:24] mefached: after you have killed those, then type pulseaudio [02:24] RussM, so how do I work out what the cwd is? [02:24] Ok, I managed to get x working, blind, on my terminal-only machine after I made a fb module that gives me a black screen load at boot [02:24] duncan_. I want to do test with other,can you help me ? [02:24] Dante123: not sure, and xorg can be really annoiying at times. xorg runs all the graphical stuff if you didn't know [02:24] No I can stop it from doing that [02:24] duncan_nz, Is it a process that stays up for a while before segfaulting? I didn't see your earlier messages. [02:24] But then I'll be back at square one [02:24] sure, but there is a testing number, do you have that? [02:24] !xorg [02:24] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [02:25] RussM_, no the app never gets started. [02:25] ducan, I not have that, do you tell me [02:25] RussM_, it gramps which is a python app. [02:25] Dante123: see above go to that link [02:25] sebsebseb the problem I have is that since 8.04 (or was it earlier) all this stuff is *supposedly* autodetected. How do I change xorg.conf to the settings I need so I get 1024 x 768? [02:25] opera, the test number is sip:500@ekiga.net [02:25] Dante123: your on 8.10? [02:25] duncan_nz, Are you starting it from a bash command line? [02:26] Dante123: 8.04 worked well for this? [02:26] opera, it's important you spell my name correctly, otherwise it isn't highlighted for me. Just type the first few letters and press TAB. [02:26] RussM_, yes. [02:26] Attempting to get a Sierra Wireless 598 to work on a Toshiba Satellite i686 running Hardy 8.04 2.6.24-26-generic. The correct Sierra drivers and scripts are installed. However, when I give the #modprobe -r usbserial command it returns "FATAL: Module usbserial is in use", whether the card is inserted in the usb slot or not. The logs indicate that the system recognizes the mass storage device which is a part of the card, but it will not atta [02:26] ch to ttyUSB, even if I eject or unmount the mass storage device. Any ideas? [02:26] sebsebseb, I am installing 8.04 because (maybe mistakenly) I thought it had screen and graphics menu item that allowed more user input [02:26] hey, setting up a virtual nic; can I have eth0 and eth0:1 defined with different IP's but the same hostname in hosts and hostname.eth0:1 [02:27] hello all [02:27] Dante123: 8.10 and 8.04 have completly differnet versions of xorg [02:27] i'm trying to compile lparse, but get the following error: http://pastebin.com/m46a0bc25 [02:27] Dante123: also 8.04 is long term suppourt, so nothing wrong with using that version. and you get security updates for longer than 8.10 much longer [02:27] can anyone tell me how to possibly fix it, it's something to do with extern.h [02:27] RussM_, this channel is too busy, can we chat direct? [02:27] sebsebseb, well then maybe I am right....I might be able to do what I want in 8.04 easier than 8.10 [02:27] duncan_nz, Sure [02:27] Ok, so I might have fixed the problem I caused trying to solve my problem... But I didn't solve my real problem! [02:28] Dante123: I think that will probably be the case yes [02:28] dun i press tab,but not response [02:28] well, this is for some kids I know...old computer that I will load up with edugames etc. But I gotta get the rez to at least 1024 x 768 [02:28] How can I make a fb0 device without breaking my terminal? [02:28] Dante123: your giving the computers away? [02:29] Dante123: who is going to update them? [02:29] Why do i have a diferent Mac adress in Windows than in Linux for the same netcard? Isnt supoused to be the same always? === rope is now known as Ropechoborra [02:29] I really want a framebuffer on the command line [02:29] sebsebseb, this belongs to a family I know. Mom got new computer with Vista (woe is me) and this lappy came originally with Win ME. I am putting ubuntu on it for them. [02:29] Thanks for your help [02:29] Good Day [02:29] hello [02:29] sebsebseb I will setup to autoupdate in the background. === carlo is now known as Guest69751 [02:30] Dante123: 8.04 is better on older hardware than 8.10 in general I think === spork is now known as Guest62032 [02:30] Dante123: plus 8.04 has 3 years of suppourt on the desktop, where as 8.10 and the not yet released 9.04 will only have 180 months [02:31] Dante123: so yes 8.04 is probably better to go for [02:31] Dante123: in your case [02:31] I'm trying to install Eclipse by synaptic, and it's want to install lot of this that I don't need. How can I resolve that problem [02:31] sebsebseb: 5 years for server [02:31] sebsebseb, okay will hope for the best...it is installing as we speak [02:31] gigabites2: yeah, but he is not installing a server [02:31] Guest69751: Find the base package w/ apt-cache [02:32] sebsebseb: Just sayin' [02:32] Dante123: by the way if you got the md5sum you should md5checksum it really, make sure the codes match. doing that in Ubuntu is very easy [02:32] !md5sum [02:32] To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [02:32] Dante123: above I meant the ISO [02:32] the base package is eclipse [02:32] with a virtual nic can I have eth0 and eth0:1 defined with different IP's but the same hostname in hosts and hostname.eth0:1? [02:32] sebsebseb yeah I know how to do that, thanks. [02:33] Give me framebuffer. [02:33] Dante123: ok no problem, your instsalling the desktop edition? and then put the educatioanl stuff on? [02:33] Guest69751: For example, eclipse-platform installs the IDE without language plugins.. [02:33] Dante123: Tuxpaint, Childsplay, Gnewcompris etc [02:33] Guest69751: Yielded from a simple apt-cache search eclipse | less [02:33] eedge, why are you interested in having different hostnames? [02:33] Dante123: and making a seperate home partition on install is a good idea, know how to do that? [02:34] rdw200169, web-server... trying to have it answering on two different external IP's, so I've set up the virual alias of eth0:1 with the new IP, but now need hosts to give it a hostname... wondering if I can use the same hostname! :) [02:34] gah! i still can't connect :( [02:34] by synaptic is impossible? [02:35] Guest69751: I don't know. I don't have synaptic installed currently. [02:35] Guest69751: I'd be surprised if it wasn't. Synaptic is very powerful. [02:35] Attempting to get a Sierra Wireless 598 to work on a Toshiba Satellite i686 running Hardy 8.04 2.6.24-26-generic. #modprobe -r usbserial returns "FATAL: Module usbserial is in use". Any ideas? [02:36] I think ubuntu's package manager is not good [02:36] bill_hilly: Why are you attempting to remove usbserial? [02:36] Guest69751: use commands then :) [02:36] sebsebseb, yeah I do that on my own system for easy upgrade down the road. But I think 8.04 will do them nicely for quite a while...just kids using it...young ones too [02:36] Guest69751: apt & dpkg are about as user-friendly as it gets. ;). Beats yum & rpm [02:36] RussM_:dunno, if it's the router, I'll still be just as lost as I am now. Ive got the server hooked up to the switch [02:36] it's dosn't know what I have already installed in my computed [02:37] it sitting right at my feet now [02:37] Dante123: yeah and then upgrade it to the next lts. and kids like to explore and have it all in general [02:37] anyone got any bluetooth experience at all? [02:37] gigabites2, so that I can install the proper module and get it attached to ttyUSB. [02:37] Dante123: and you get an extra advantage with 8.04 that you won't have with 8.10 or 9.04 [02:37] sebsebseb, yes. almost done installing now [02:37] Dante123: on the subject of having it all you can get KDE3 and KDE4 from the repo in 8.04 [02:37] bill_hilly: Sorry, I'm not sure I understand that. You went over my head. : [02:37] :\ [02:37] type just to you see, sudo apt-get install eclipse and see what it want to install together [02:38] can someone help me with this error? :) /usr/include/stdlib.h:186: error: conflicts with new declaration with ‘C’ linkage [02:38] Dante123: 8.10 is only KDE4, since KDE3 is dieing :( [02:38] gigabites2, thanks anyway. [02:38] oh whaddaya know, same problem locally [02:38] can I start a app on a remote computer with in the network with ssh [02:39] L3dPlatedLinux: probably, and you can control that other compute via VNC [02:39] sebsebseb, I have tried kde sparingly...and believe it or not I prefer gnome. [02:39] yeah but someone is one it and I dont want to mess them up [02:39] Dante123: which KDE? and I also prefer Gnome, but run some nice KDE apps in it [02:39] I prefered gnome as well until I tried sidux.. [02:40] Quick question: My friends gettin paranoid bout the Conflicker thing, and hes wondering if ClamAV could detect it on a windows partition, would it work? [02:40] gigabites2: sidux I still haven't tryed that in a vm [02:40] clamav should [02:40] Acutally, idk [02:40] Disregard! [02:40] good afternoon [02:40] Dante123: I prefer KDE3 to KDE4 :) except some apps got much better in KDE4, and I run those in Gnome anyway [02:40] Also, Gigabites2, in relation to NOD32 in Windows, how comparable is it (disregarding that its the only one in the repos) [02:40] i hate that bug [02:41] GodfatherofEire: yes you can use Linux anti virus programs to scan for Windows viruses [02:41] GodfatherofEire: Clamav does not have a constant-scan mode. You must manually activate it. I have no clue about how it compares in terms of detection ability [02:41] i just installed ubuntu server and tried to use subversion (not installed) so i did sudo apt-get install subversion it says cant find package :-s === Fraeon^ is now known as Fraeon [02:42] buzzsaw: Do `sudo apt-get update` first [02:42] ok :-) [02:42] how could I start pidgin using ssh [02:42] There are alternatives though.. Avira & Antivir Personal are both available on Linux [02:42] sebsebseb, how about you, how does it stack up to ESET's NOD32? (not taking into account that its the only one in the repos) [02:42] GodfatherofEire: ideally get your friend to change to Ubuntu, and as long as he does not have a stupid sudo password and no hardwire firewall. he should be pretty secure, and no longer need to worry about viruses, spyware, or having the computer cracked into [02:42] GodfatherofEire: There are alternatives though.. Avira & Antivir Personal are both available on Linux [02:42] Ok, I think I figured something important out: [02:43] I need fbcon [02:43] flannel now that you said that i seem to remember doing that a year ago after an install :-) [02:43] thanks [02:43] GodfatherofEire: a stupid sudo password would be like: 123abc [02:43] RussM_: it happens with the server connected to the switch as well. Putty gives an error [02:43] sebsebseb, yeah, i know but gamers dont have much choice, when it comes to utilizing DX10 to its full capacity [02:43] <_VIM_2> is brasero good at burning CD-RW's? I need to burn an .iso that i can write/delete stuff when needed, but i dont see an option for "Session" burning [02:43] gigabites2: yeah, but they are also closed hum [02:43] buzzsaw: You need to do it periodically to update your cache (for new versions, etc). But its extremely important when you first install, because your machine doesn't know about anything in the repos. [02:44] sebsebseb: Better that than nothing. [02:44] sebsebseb: Adobe flash is closed too [02:44] GodfatherofEire: well apparnatlly Codeweavers Games a commercail version of Wine, is going to have good Directx10 suppourt soon [02:44] gigabites2: true, but there are two good alternatives, Gnash and Swfdec [02:44] sebsebseb: That aren't feature-complete enough for normal use. [02:45] hello everyone [02:45] sebsebseb, yeah, but those cost a relatively large sum of money especially to maintain [02:45] in the past i have compiled almost every thing from source, is it better to work from apr-get ? [02:45] gigabites2: depends on the usage, Gnash has improved a lot recently. and that's enough on that subject I think, since offtopic [02:45] Iceman_B^Ltop, Sorry, off looking at something else. I'm at a loss... I've had putty drop connections before, but usually through a NAT router. [02:45] sebsebseb: There are some things closed source works for. And true enough. [02:45] <_VIM_2> is brasero good at burning CD-RW's? I need to burn an .iso that i can write/delete stuff when needed, but i dont see an option for "Session" burning [02:45] okay [02:45] thanks anyways [02:45] Ok, so I don't seem to have an fbcon. Does anyone know why? [02:45] gigabites2: true [02:45] oh that was a mistake [02:46] Iceman_B^Ltop, Then, the fix was to send keepalive packets, but that shouldn't help you. [02:46] GodfatherofEire: Codeweavers give there stuff out for free sometimes, and it does not cost much. and Wine is free as in freedom and price [02:46] !price [02:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about price [02:46] is there a way to stop the /list cmd? [02:46] !freedom [02:46] freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [02:46] Let me guess: no. [02:46] I just rebooted my ubuntu box and I know i cant remotely get in using vnc [02:46] Hi there, anyone know if the ubuntu intrepid PHP packages come compiled with FastCGI support? Or do I have to compile PHP myself [02:46] buzzsaw: apt-get is easier to manage, even if it isn't optimized for your computer [02:46] anyone knows the command to enable this feature from a shell [02:46] buzzsaw: well there's a lot of advantages to using the package manager. Like automatic updates and it takes care of dependencies. [02:47] ok :-) [02:47] I also suggest that you use aptitude instead of apt-get [02:47] RussM_: I think putty does that by default [02:47] Need help getting a Sierra Wireless 598 to work on a Toshiba Satellite i686 running Hardy 8.04 2.6.24-26-generic. http://paste.ubuntu.com/140446/ [02:47] It's a little bit better. [02:47] Ah, if only there was a way to boot up Windows and Linux on the same machine, like, Boot up the windows partition, work there, boot up the ubuntu partion, sign onto Pidgin, etc,etc, and then shut down the windows partition [02:47] how I can mount a .bin file as a cdrom? [02:47] did anyone ever used ddccontrol ? [02:47] i heard a bit about aptitude but never looked into it [02:47] emma: Disagree. apt-get will always be there. Aptitude can get a little screwy sometimes during upgrades. [02:47] i need a line to add brightnesss [02:47] GodfatherofEire: lol. well you can run Windows inside Ubuntu [02:47] <_VIM_2> how do i burn an .iso and later be able to write/delete more stuff later using Brasero? [02:47] GodfatherofEire: I think VMware allows you to do that [02:48] GodfatherofEire: fine except for 3D Windows programs [02:48] bartek: it has fastcgi support [02:48] GodfatherofEire: and as long as you got like 512MB RAM at least [02:48] No, i mean like, actual simultinaetty [02:48] GodfatherofEire: yes [02:48] or however its spelled [02:48] gigabites2: hm, well then there is some argument about it. But in #debian they suggest aptitude is better. [02:48] I tried that once [02:48] Why do i have a diferent Mac adress in Windows than in Linux for the same netcard? Isnt supoused to be the same always? [02:48] GodfatherofEire: and there's a way for a virtual machine to use a psyical Windows partition, but hard to set that up [02:48] VMware can read your bootloader and then pick whatver you want from it, but I dont know the details anymore [02:48] emma: I suppose. aptitude is a just a frontend though. [02:49] Is there a tool available that will help me migrate settings, docs, email, filters, keys from one ubuntu to another? [02:49] imbrandon: do you know then where I could ifnd the fast cgi bin process? [02:49] Ropechoborra: not always, depends on card/firmware [02:49] aren't they both front ends for dpkg ? [02:49] !backup [02:49] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [02:49] <_VIM_2> how do i burn an .iso and later be able to write/delete more stuff later using Brasero? [02:49] !sbackup [02:49] sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe [02:49] !cloning [02:49] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [02:49] emma: Sort of. apt-get manages the network part of it & automatically fetches dependencies [02:49] sebsebseb, i mean without virtual machines, so that you could *fully* use windows etc to their capacity [02:49] !cloning [02:49] bartek: for what ? apache , lighthttpd , cli ? [02:49] does anyone knows how to use a command line to add brigthness ? my fn doesnt works [02:49] Like I need to run php-fcgi, but I have no idea where it is [02:50] imbrandon, Thanks! :) [02:50] So does anyone know how I can get a FBcon module? [02:50] imbrandon: I might wrap it around using lightttpd but not sure yet, just want to find it first [02:50] bartek: fastcgi modules use the php-cli binary [02:50] Ill probably use spawn-fcgi from lighttpd [02:50] GodfatherofEire: yeah it's called running Windows, with Ubuntu in the VM hummmmm [02:50] does anyone have experience with ununtu and nagios [02:50] Would someone be able to point me in the direction of somewhere I can mount an external hdd? [02:50] gigabites2: i had my bot send you information about aptitude. [02:50] that could help me with some email issues [02:51] imbrandon: hmm, so if I want to spawn it from spawn-fcgi how would I do it? spawn-fcgi -f php-cli ... etc .. ? [02:51] bartek: yes [02:51] still dont know how I would start pidgin on a computer I ssh in to? something about gtk display failed [02:51] sebsebseb, I mean so that neither has to rely on the other, except the same hard drive, WITHOUT Virtual machines [02:51] GodfatherofEire: why do you use Windows? [02:51] GodfatherofEire: dual booting [02:52] wubi [02:52] emma: Oh no doubt for most purposes it's excellent, but the stability of apt-get is preferable in my opinion. [02:52] Am I going to have to recompile my kernel to make fbcon work? [02:52] i hear you. [02:52] imbrandon: I get php-cli not found .. :/ [02:52] L3dPlatedLinux: for various reasons I woudn't recommend wubi. if Windows buggers up so will Ubuntu, wubi will be slow if the partition is not fragmented, and there are other reasons [02:52] sebsebseb, I know, dual booting, but to have both running simultaneously, if you had to have em on two separate screens [02:52] bartek: the package is php-cli , the actual bin name is php [02:53] oh [02:53] Hi, I just reinstalled ubuntu and its not detecting my docking stations nic. It used to automaticly before. I dont see anything in the dmesg and googled for a few hours on this and not better :) anyone has a suggestion? [02:53] L3dPlatedLinux: yeah if you haven't disk defragged Windohs [02:53] bartek: hottoforge has a nice article on setting lighttpd + php fcgi up [02:53] L3dPlatedLinux: wubi can be slow as well [02:53] L3dPlatedLinux: in fact one of the Ubuntu ops won't even recommend wubi, so that must mean something [02:54] Ok, so assuming that I do have to compile and configure my kernel, what is a good way to do that? [02:54] imbrandon: thanks, Ill google it [02:54] L3dPlatedLinux: Oh don't listen to him. It's fine if you want to test it out & don't want to take the leap into a true installation. [02:54] I agree with gigabites2 [02:54] gigabites2: pretty much yeah, but a virtual machine would be better usaully I think, even if Windows is the host, plus it's nice to be able to run two OS's like that at same time [02:55] anyone has experience with ubuntu and nagios [02:55] well I was just saying I dont have any winblows here just ubuntu and on other pc freenas [02:55] How do I reconfigure my kernel? [02:55] bartek: here is the wiki on it, its a bit dated but should get you the awnsers you need https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lighttpd+PHP [02:55] L3dPlatedLinux: Oh, ok then. ;) [02:55] nice, found the article too [02:55] emma: or you don't quite, but you want to since you don't quite like me, but that's all offtopic here [02:55] thanks [02:55] No i really just agree with gigabites2 . . . [02:56] emma: ok [02:56] j-b-r: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild [02:56] I reinstalled Firefox, but now irssi won't open links. I'm thinking it's gnome-terminal's issue.

[03:01] latinhacker31: vnc over ssh [03:01] !chinese | duncan_nz [03:01] duncan_nz: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [03:01] hum [03:01] travisubu: 8.04 would probably work better, plus it's long term suppourt, and complety differnet xorg version, and other then that, 8.04 and 8.10 aren't that differnet really [03:01] explain if you can please [03:01] travisubu: Because otherwise, the module isn't loade & x doesn't know to usei t [03:02] cause I'm attached right now using putty into ssh [03:02] sebsebseb: effectively it works with prior versions of the driver (169) [03:02] and I was connected to vnc until i reboot the box [03:02] now I cant get in anymore [03:02] travisubu: ok [03:02] sebsebseb: but i want 8.10 because it runs smoother [03:02] latinhacker31: Forward vnc over localhost & then use ssh to forward the localhost port to your client. Start the vnc viewer on the forwarded port [03:02] latinhacker31: you should be able to start the vncserver again from ssh ( comand depends on what vnc server you used ) [03:03] sebsebseb: the problem is that the 168 driver isnt compatible with this version [03:03] travisubu: they ran pretty much the same on my computer. use a older driver? [03:03] do you know wht command [03:03] the command [03:03] sorryu [03:03] comand depends on what vnc server you used [03:03] sebsebseb: its incompatible with the kernel or something [03:03] latinhacker31: It's not a command, it's all in the configuration [03:03] sebsebseb: or mabe the xorg version [03:03] I'm using the remote function that comes with ubuntu 8.10 [03:03] travisubu: apt-get install nvidia-xconfig [03:04] yeh [03:04] travisubu: I think 8.04 has improved quite a bit, from when most of us last used it, and it's on like 8.04.2 now [03:04] Irssi won't open links now that I reinstalled firefox. I'm thinking it's gnome-terminal's deal. Any way to change its setting on what to use to open links? [03:04] Oops. [03:04] Sorry. [03:04] so installing freeradius from a package would nto be a big deal? [03:04] i'm trying to make a dropbox for files transfered from phones via bluetooth but i can't get bluetooth working properly. does anyone have any suggestions? [03:04] sebsebseb: yeh but i think 8.10 has improved some details wich make it better [03:04] travisubu: some details such as? [03:05] sebsebseb: mainly visual [03:05] sebsebseb: plus amd64 works better [03:05] travisubu: You can carry the theme back over to 8.04, you know. [03:05] is it possible to run 2 computers with just one /home which is mounted per nfs from a nas? [03:05] How do I tell gnome-terminal what to use to open links? [03:06] sebsebseb: im using core quad 6600 [03:06] sebsebseb: im using core quad 660 [03:06] phaer: Possibly, but not a good idea. Two computers fighting for rights over things like .Xauthority isn't a good idea. [03:06] phaer, yea sure, provided uids are the same on both [03:06] sebsebseb: so i want amd64 [03:06] travisubu: I can't help with your issue it seems [03:06] thanks [03:06] travisubu: yeah and you want Ext4 probably as well [03:06] travisubu: a bit later on [03:06] travisubu: that's 9.04 that has it as an option === rachel is now known as Guest61551 [03:07] it's already out_? [03:07] sebsebseb: ext4 isn't stable yet; I wouldn't recommend it for crucial data. Still all that stuff w/ unordered journaling causing data corruption [03:07] travisubu: ,but there's was/is a dataloss bug. so I am waiting for final release before I decide if I do Ext4 or not [03:07] travisubu: no it's on beta now [03:07] gigabites2, what exactly are the complications? because i'm working in a small office, and it would be very nice to have exactly the same desktop on every pc [03:07] phaer: From the exact same home directory? [03:08] gigabites2: are there other ways to do it? [03:08] sebsebseb: shit man there's lots of stuff i cant do at the moment because of the driver [03:08] hey all, having a prob with installation of new kernel (installing server version to get access to all 4gb RAM). It tries to use dpkg to reconfigure my nvidia module but dies with "Kernel source for 2.6.27-7-server not installed. Cannot install this module." I have the kernel source installed but there's no option for a server version of the kernel source. Does anyone have any ideas? [03:08] phaer: Different home directory per user? [03:08] When I try to view my documents folder through Nautilus to delete files and folders, I can't see anything. It says there are 0 items, but that's not right. [03:08] gigabites: but then i'd have to sync firefox profiles, folders, settings,.. [03:09] gigabites2: yeah stuff like that, hence why I wait for 9.04 final and good jaunty Ext4 views before I decide to clean install with Ext4 or not. we shoudn't talk to much about Ext4 here, since it will go offtopic [03:09] sebsebseb: One last thing; you can mount an ext3 partition as ext4 [03:09] gigabites2: yeah, but not get full ext4 suppourt [03:09] sorry, i should have said dkms not dpkg [03:10] where is the pictures folder located? [03:10] hi [03:10] sebsebseb u still there [03:10] !hi ladybug [03:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about hi ladybug [03:10] !hi | ladybug [03:10] ladybug: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:10] Dante123: yep [03:10] im new to ubuntu... [03:11] how do i install skpe? [03:11] ladybug: ok cool good [03:11] Any ideas on why nothing is showing up in my nautilus folder browser? [03:11] ladybug: from the skype website [03:11] sebsebseb I installed 8.04 and ran hardware drivers but it says there are no proprietary drivers. Under screen resolutions it still only goes up to 800 x 600 [03:11] i downloaded it & it gave me a error [03:11] phaer: Well, I'm not exactly an expert on server administration [03:11] phaer: I do know that debian & ubuntu have a lot of documentation on that stuff in their wikis [03:11] phaer: However two people logged into x sharing a home directory is trouble. [03:12] hello all, I have just installed a new Hard disk to my system. How can I make it so that it mounts on bootup ? [03:12] xgama changes my gama on the command line.. but i cant find something similar for brigthnees [03:12] sebsebseb, I ran xrandr and it says Screen 0 and gives some 800x600 as max (although I know this can handle 1024x768 16mil colours) Any ideas? [03:12] phaer: X creates certain files in /home/$user that say certain users are logged in, have rights, etc. [03:12] what error did you get ladybug? [03:12] What folder does the pictures folder screen saver look at? [03:12] Dante123: Xorg issues, no thanks, I like to avoide those :) however there will be someone about if you wait that can help [03:12] lg11: ~/Pictures AFAIK [03:13] Amber_Johnson: If you want it transparently & automagically mounted, you'll need to edit /etc/fstab. [03:13] Maybe I should come back in with a girl's name so people will help me. :) [03:13] NewtuUbuntu: lol [03:13] NewtuUbuntu: What do you mean nothing? [03:13] sebsebseb what if I renamed my xorg.conf to xorgold.conf and restarted session (ctrl-alt-bkspace) wont that force it to redo xorg.conf and maybe give me a chance to select right driver etc. [03:14] I typed the command sudo nautilus in terminal, it brought up the nautilus browser, but when I go to folders like my documents folder, it's empty [03:14] Dante123: you can fix it from the recovery mode in the bootloader [03:14] ok thanks gigabites2, [03:14] sebsebseb ?? [03:14] ok what I would like to do is to be able to start pidgin on the wifes pc using ssh as to not mess her up so once it is started I can text her saying what I would like to tell her can this be done? [03:14] NewtuUbuntu: Don't look in the root folder? [03:14] L3dPlatedLinux: ssh -CX blah.computer [03:15] gigabites2 can I still delete folders if I'm not using root? [03:15] bruce89: would that be /home/username/pictures ? [03:15] NewtuUbuntu: You can delete your home folders if you're not root [03:15] I can do that but the issue I am having is starting pidgin on her pc using ssh [03:15] gigabites: i'll make extra shares for documents, pictures, videos,... and sync firefox profiles. thank you for your help. === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:15] !Grub | Dante123 [03:15] Dante123: 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] Dante123: you probably only get it for like 3 seconds on boot up though [03:16] I have recently lost ability to connect to the Internet on my desktop PC. Network Manager applet indicates "device is unmanaged" forboth wired and wireless interfaces. Where should I start looking? [03:16] lg11: Pictures with the big 'P', I may be the whole home folder though [03:16] Dante123: you can change the time out easilley though [03:16] gigabites2 it won't le tme delete the folder I am trying to delete, says permission denied [03:16] NewtuUbuntu: What are the permissions for the folder? [03:16] Dante123: and make it look a bit nicer even by uncommneting removing # for prettycolours in the config file. [03:16] Has anyone had an Issue with ubuntu installing and just having an X as a mouse cursor and nothing else? [03:16] oh and speaking on the terminal is there a way to make it a defualt size [03:16] NewtuUbuntu: which folder? [03:16] Guest71806: sounds like a xorg issue :( [03:16] usser: do you have experience with such a setup? [03:17] Guest71806: a black screen and a x as cursour? [03:17] sebsebseb: What's xorg? [03:17] !xorg [03:17] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

I know, why wouldn't I want it anymore? Don't ask. :) [03:17] Guest71806: ok which Ubuntu? how old is your graphics card? [03:17] Hey everyone. I'm having a low volume problem with my Sigmatel STAC9205 card. [03:17] !volume [03:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about volume [03:17] NewtuUbuntu: You don't have rights to the folder. What are the permissions? [03:17] !sound [03:17] 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).

[03:18] Guest71806: ok that right there is probably your issue === dinesh_ is now known as zero [03:18] gigabites2 sure give me a second [03:18] NewtuUbuntu: if something doesn't work because of permissions, add sudo to the front [03:18] Why does the screen saver not start, I have told it to start after one min and it previews fine but never starts up [03:18] can anyone help me configure bluetooth in ubuntu? i have it connected to a dongle via USB hub, but it can't quite work [03:18] Guest71806: so you try to log into Ubuntu and then get what you described? did the Live CD work? === zero is now known as Guest50611 [03:19] sebsebseb: im not using a CD; i'm using wubi [03:19] Guest71806: I'm not having problems with an 8-year-old nvidia card. :\ [03:19] Guest71806: I see ok, so you can't log into Ubuntu? [03:20] bruce89 when I sudo nautilus there's nothing in any of the folders [03:20] sebsebseb: nope, doesnt even bring up a login screen or anything. it's not even fully isnatlled. maybe my v card doesnt like linux widnows managers? [03:20] NewtuUbuntu: don't ever run nautilus as roo === j_ack_ is now known as j_ack [03:20] NewtuUbuntu: sudo rm -fr /blah [03:20] Guest71806: remove wubi it's not that good anyway, because it puts Ubuntu inside your Windows partition, which means if Windows buggers up properly, so does Ubuntu. and it may be slow if your Windows partition is not defragmented and so on.

It's like Part\ One or something [03:21] hi, my optical sound on ubuntu sounds echo'd [03:21] makes sense. i guess i'll try and grab an 8.04 iso then. thanks for the help!

[03:23] i'll probably need it XD [03:23] does anybody know how to burn a liveCD in ubuntu? [03:24] shade34321: get the ISO yep [03:24] NewtuUbuntu: be careful what you delete [03:24] shade34321, get the iso, right click -> Write to disk [03:24] shade34321: md5sum it and burn it :) with a program [03:24] !md5sum [03:24] To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [03:24] ok...sweet [03:24] didnt think it would be that easy [03:24] thanks!

[03:24] hey all [03:24] shade34321: you should md5sum it first, to make sure your download wasn't bad [03:24] New linux user [03:24] here [03:25] will do [03:25] !hi | Ubuntubear [03:25] Ubuntubear: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:25] bruce89 thanks for all your help, worked like a charm. [03:25] Ubuntubear: And obviously a new IRC user, what do you need? [03:25] well when I open it its a really big square I would like it to open alot smaller then that [03:25] I need to get a couple of my ports open... specificaly 5900 so I can have someone do a remote desktoop [03:25] 80x24 is what it is now [03:25] L3dPlatedLinux: that's what it is supposed to be [03:25] !firewall | Ubuntubear [03:25] Ubuntubear: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [03:26] I just installed ubuntu on my desktop and there is a package I have on my laptop I could use on my desktop... is there any way to transfer it? (I dont want to download it again) [03:26] smaller would be better [03:26] Ubuntubear: I recommend firestarter. It makes it very simple to open 5900 [03:26] L3dPlatedLinux: that's the default tty size AFAIK [03:26] Ubuntubear: you don't need 5900 open, not if they were doing it properly and securely :) [03:26] L3dPlatedLinux: you could make the font smaller [03:26] also is there a way to install gparted in ubuntu that isnt connected to the internet? [03:26] Ubuntubear: actually, what does sudo ufw status output? [03:26] sebsebseb: Yes you do. :\. Even for ssh, you need 5900 open [03:26] Ubuntubear: if I remote connect people over the net, I make sure VNC is done securely over SSH, and they will use my port [03:26] gigabites2: no you don't [03:26] shade34321: yes, aptoncd is the easiest [03:27] !aptoncd | shade34321 [03:27] shade34321: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [03:27] L3dPlatedLinux: change your terminal font size? if you made it much smaller, it wouldn't be practical [03:27] thanks ziroday [03:27] sebsebseb: You need *a* port open. :P [03:27] shade34321, just get the deb and dpkg -i it. [03:27] gigabites2: only the SSH ports need to be open [03:27] I've inherited a 6.04 LTS desktop box that hasnt had any updates in who knows how long, I get 404s when I try to update, has there been any major repo changes I should be aware of? [03:27] the font is fine but the window is large [03:27] sebsebseb: You need a vnc port open on the localhost at least then in order to forward over ssh [03:27] thats all [03:27] !upgrade | dub [03:27] dub: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [03:27] dub: yeah 6.06 won't be suppourted for that much longer [03:28] thanks gigabites2 [03:28] gigabites2: indeed at that [03:28] installing firestarter now [03:28] dub: basically 6.04 is EOL so you need to upgrade [03:28] not really a big deal I was just asking as I like to learn things [03:28] dub: no repo's exist for it [03:28] dub: are you sure about the version? the 6.06 repos should still be there [03:28] ziroday: not yet actually [03:28] could be a mirror issue [03:28] Thanks, and its 6.04 as reported [03:28] this is so frustrating [03:28] !question | AziaBurgi [03:29] AziaBurgi: 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. :-) [03:29] whats a good app for syncing an ipod?

Using nautilus-actions, nautilus "%d" (where %d is the "base folder of the selected file") seems to open the /home/db for every file. Same with gnome-open. Is the 'base folder' not the containing folder of the file? [03:29] bruce89: my bad, the 6.04 threw me :) [03:29] Hi. My desktop in Ubuntu 8.10 is larger than the display size .

I only ask due to a gtk display error fail I get during this when i type in pidgin on ssh [03:30] Okay... got firestarter up and running... how do I open ports with it? [03:30] ubuntu has stopped recognisingg my adapter [03:30] L3dPlatedLinux: ssh -CX blah.computer [03:30] L3dPlatedLinux: You need to forward x with -X [03:30] L3dPlatedLinux: Also, make sure you have an x-server running on the client computer [03:31] and i appear to be tapping the kb too hard :) [03:32] i have a problem with backing up ubuntu [03:32] tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys / [03:32] ends with errors [03:32] !backup [03:32] There are many ways to back your system up.

[03:32] not the latest [03:33] mib_gqtfg3: Download source & compile? [03:33] can i do a grep (a || b) to find a or b in a stream [03:33] according to lsb_release its 6.10 [03:33] isn't there a package? [03:33] dub: ok, that is indeed unsupported and the archives have been moved [03:33] I thought compiling from source is bad, ubuntu uses packages [03:33] mib_gqtfg3: Doubt it. You can check (apt-cache search gcc | grep 4.1.2) [03:33] download a package [03:33] ouch [03:34] (pidgin:6564): WARNING **: cannot open display: unset [03:34] was there ever a package for it? [03:34] or they remove old packages [03:34] mib_gqtfg3: Nah. You can compile in /usr/local & it's all fine. [03:34] after a while [03:34] mib_gqtfg3: you get most stuff from synaptic or using apt-get/apptitude commands. if no luck there. you can get stuff from a trusted source, as a deb or tar.gz [03:34] mib_gqtfg3: Nah. You can compile to** /usr/local & it's all fine. [03:34] dub: upgrading that in place would be painful since you'd have to go 6.10 -> 7.04 -> 7.10 -> 8.04 [03:34] Would someone be able to help me with mounting an external hdd? [03:34] anyone know if there is a fix in amarok 1.4.10 in regards to the artist tab not showing any information from wikipedia; just a list of available languages? Only thing I could find was this "modifying line 4192 of contextbrowser.cpp in the 1.4.10 source and then recompiling." [03:34] 8.10 [03:34] crdlb: 7.04 - 7.10 isn't supported [03:35] crdlb, its kind of critical that the thing stays where it is (and up) [03:35] bonhoffer, Sure, use grep -E or egrep: grep -E "a|b" [03:35] Ubuntubear: sudo ufw status :) [03:35] How would I use the 4.1.2 g++? [03:35] does anyone know if the problems with the flash plugin are solved in ubuntu 8.04-2 amd64? [03:35] just type g++? [03:35] gigabites2: why not? [03:35] RussM_, excellent, thanks [03:35] or I have to give an absolute path? [03:35] Valefar, it should automount when you plug it in [03:35] gigabites2: because they're both EOL? [03:35] crdlb: Large changes I think. Don't ask me -- ask the developers. [03:36] h00k: For some reason, this fat32 disk doesn't :( [03:36] gigabites2: it certainly was supported back when 7.10 was new [03:36] crdlb: If I remember correctly it was never supported? There was one jump where a fresh install was required. [03:36] gigabites2: that's definitely not true [03:37] Valefar, can you pastebin your 'dmesg | tail' after you insert the drive?

Thanks and gnite. [03:50] iceroot, i don't get it? [03:50] Arkenklo, are you looking for soething like bla.domain.com, then check out virtual hosts in apache [03:51] sebsebseb was able to set screen from unknows to lcd panel capable of 1024x768 [03:51] There is'nt a simpler way? And btw, it's possible to forward them to a different ip, not just a different directory? [03:51] does 9.04 use the ath5k? [03:52] Arkenklo, that is the simpliest way. do you habe multiple ips? [03:52] no [03:53] I have one external ip that is [03:53] so what do you want to do?! [03:53] Add a external subdomain and forward it to a different internal ip [03:54] AziaBurgi: just poking around in Synaptic and I found ussp-push which is a obex push protocol used to transfer files to a mobile device via bluetooth.. maybe that's what you're looking for.

[03:58] sebsebseb: to be honest i'm still a bit of a newbie when it comes to linux [03:58] kb3ien: you mean your user account password no longer works? [03:58] sva_: Try to play around with fstab [03:58] i can log in, but i can nolonger use sudo [03:59] AziaBurgi: ok this covers a lot of the basics, but not everything http://www.ubuntuguide.org [03:59] Arkenklo: that menu doesn not exist in xubuntu [03:59] kb3ien: use visudo and add yourself to sudoers [03:59] i'm doing this for my university project and its begining to look like its going to fail as everything i try doesn't seem to work [03:59] AziaBurgi: it's up there some where, what are you trying to do? [03:59] kb3ien: just make sure the formatting is correct, google it [04:00] its the bluetooth dropbox i mentioned earlier [04:00] kb3ien: make sure you are in the "admin" group [04:00] well, he cant add himself to admin group without being a sudo user [04:00] sebsebseb: well, this one looks interesting and it says it includes several games... I am trying to 'convert' my three sons, ages 13, 11 and 9 over to linux .. so that they won't want any windows...

[04:01] bonez46: what looks interesting? [04:01] basti, Single user mode [04:01] installing quagga took me out. [04:01] bonez46: well get them a games console in that case as well. a Nintendo WII :) then it should be ok [04:01] sebsebseb: so maybe the question is where I can direct them to go, to fulfill their need to blast and create and do whatever with roblox and other games.. but on linux instead of windows [04:01] bonez46: well anything, but Xbox :) [04:02] i'm not sure why/how. [04:02] they have an xbox, a ps2.. [04:02] bonez46: ok you want games links [04:02] Arkenklo: what do you mean? I supose my fstab is ok [04:02] is there a single user mode? [04:02] but I want them to get into it online on their PC.. with linux.. instead of making me just get windows, just for their gaming [04:02] sebsebseb: yes, games links.. please [04:02] bonez46: 42 of the best linux games, 42 of the best wine games, 42 of the best commercial games, google that and you will get onto things [04:02] sva_: sorry, I'm blabbering [04:03] fstab has nothing to do with it [04:03] how can i use apt-get to rebuild a package?

[04:07] Arkenklo: any idea? im realy desperate, i cant create my collection.. do you know if there is any way of finding out the file parent directory inodo or something and simply tel de hard disk to pretend it is not there? [04:07] thanks bruce89 [04:08] zgold am not familiar with what you're trying to do of putting a dev node in filesystem [04:08] where is xorg.conf again?

[04:10] FastPutty: as in the type of data [04:10] <_404> Right now suspend isn't working correctly on my system. If it was, it would be nice to set it up as a part time server that would sleep most of the time and could be woken up by pinging the wireless adapter plugged into the USB port. Will that definitely work or will it depend on hardware or other configurations. [04:10] i cannot stop the boot loader, any suggestions? i'm about to nuke the disk.. [04:10] zgold just for kicks, i tried cat /dev/input/mice and it has some responses captured..but not sure if thats what you seek [04:10] CorbinFox: did you check linuxprinting ?

[04:11] CorbinFox: if the pdd isn't on this website, it's going to be difficult to find one... [04:11] kb3ien: escape when the grub thing appears [04:12] kb3ien -> insert single in the grub prompt [04:12] my printer isn't even listed on this site, illovae [04:12] my dad is trying to install ubuntu . He's installed 8.1 twice fro0m the live installer and in both cases it just hangs on reboot (flashing cursor) i tried to alk him through a manual grub install but grub says there is no grub.conf or grub/menu.lst anyone else seen this problem??? [04:12] escape and stop and break all fail to stop it. [04:12] _404: i don't think that would work as sleep turns off the USB... [04:12] kb3ien: I assume the menu is hidden [04:12] CorbinFox: whoaou... [04:13] wwalker -> he waited long enuff? [04:13] illovae: it lists the model just before my model, it liss the 850 but not the 860 [04:13] <_404> thats what I wanted to know.. only use I have for suspend is if I can turn it on remotely. [04:13] sebsebseb: thanks... === Tetracomm is now known as roundfuzzybeetle [04:14] bonez46: yeah convert your kids, and then try and convert their schools :) [04:14] HOw can I make xubuntu login to my wifi automagically [04:14] maybe it is. booting (hda,0,0) is the first thing i see. [04:14] right now it asks for keyring pq [04:14] pw [04:14] bonez46: please, this is not a religion [04:14] CorbinFox: maybe you can try with the 850's pdd, it might work... The canon website doesn't give you the pdd for your model I guess ? [04:14] bonez46: make sure to install these, Tuxpaint, GnewSense, Child's Play [04:14] n8tuser: good point, but yes he did wait long enough. [04:14] bonez46: Gnewsense LOL no not that. Gcompris [04:15] i'm playing musical NAS to get the hdd to show up elsewhere, and thry to fix it thta way. [04:15] illovae: the canon site doesnt give anything but the .exe files, and there is no pdd on the CD [04:15] wwalker -> it worked I assume while booted off of livecd? [04:15] bruce89: woah.. easy there.. what does one say when one convinces windows user to try and then switch to linux? isn't that conversion over? [04:15] CorbinFox: maybe you can try to extract the content of the .exe with cabextract if it work on it [04:15] bonez46: I don't like the concept of "converting" people [04:16] bonez46: people should use what they want to use, and leave it at that [04:16] CorbinFox: or you can try to install the .exe on a windows partition and check the installed files [04:16] illovae: i'll try that, then i'll try the 850's pdd, and if that doesnt work then i'll return the printer and get an HP or something [04:16] CorbinFox: yeah ^^' [04:16] sebsebseb: but but.. bruce89 is against conversion,.. sounds too religulous.. right? [04:17] bruce89: well many people think they want to use Windows, but they woudn't want to, if they knew better. let's not get into that to much now in here, off topic after all [04:17] bonez46: just ignore me, everyone else does [04:17] I'm using WindowsXP on a Virtual Machine with a 20gb virtual harddrive but I need MORE!

You know Canon and gnu/linux are not friends [04:17] n8tuser: it works off of live CD, I didn [04:17] not even Debian? [04:17] illovae: blame my folks, they wanted the canon.

[04:24] is there a logfile for the gnome-obex-server, i am still having issues [04:24] SeaPhor: sorry, yes free :) [04:24] TomV-415: make sure your swap is larger than your machine ram or that could cause hibernate problems [04:24] SeaPhor -> once it is running, issue free to see how much swap spaces are used [04:24] oh i should try gnome, im in kde. [04:25] thanks, sounds like a good tip. [04:25] ziroday, n8tuser , ty ;-) [04:25] Hi! I can't install anything, and this is what I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/140487/ [04:25] hi [04:25] illovae: im using it right now, havent found anything yet tho [04:25] kevin_zhong: is update manager or synaptic open? [04:25] another question that may help me here ... What loads xorg input drivers in 8.10 besides the xorg.conf and the files under /etc/hal/fdi? [04:25] no [04:26] kevin_zhong: well according to dpkg there is another dpkg process somewhere using it :) [04:26] earlier I tried to install Virtualbox, and I quit but I think this is part of the problem [04:26] kevin_zhong: does ps aux | grep dpkg show other dpkg processes? [04:26] CorbinFox: yep... the 'windows partition' solution is the best way I think, anyway goodluck =) [04:26] how can I verify what program is using it? [04:26] thanks illovae [04:26] kevin_zhong: run that command, do you see other dpkg processes? [04:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/140489/ [04:27] kevin_zhong: yes there is still a dpkg proccess running somwhere related to virtualbox [04:27] hmm, how can I stop it? [04:27] kevin_zhong: it is waiting for your input [04:27] there isn't anything open related to it [04:27] kevin_zhong: finish installing virtualbox? [04:28] TheShahFactor: http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Opening-and-Closing-Files.html#Opening-and-Closing-Files may be helpful [04:28] no, i canceled it midway [04:28] kevin_zhong: you could do kill but that will leave it in a very unhappy state [04:28] :D should I reboot then? [04:28] kevin_zhong: sure [04:29] ok, thanks! [04:29] how is call of duty with ubuntu? [04:29] kevin_zhong: recommend your run apt-get install -y after your reboot [04:29] !appdb | dsdeiz check for yourself [04:29] dsdeiz check for yourself: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [04:29] thanks for the tip bruce89 [04:30] TheShahFactor: actually, probably not that page specifically, but the glibc manual is useful [04:30] So, I need an opinion. I have an issue where the only way I can use my laptop with Ubuntu (tried hardy and intrepid) is to have acpi=off. I haven't found a fix for it and it's been months. Do you think switching to another distribution like fedora for example might work? === ubuntu_ is now known as LiraNuna_ [04:30] HI [04:31] nkei0: that is about impossible to say. You can try them yourself and see [04:31] nkei0: however they all use the linux kernel [04:31] nkei0: it's more about the kernel that the distro IMHO [04:31] nkei0: what's the make and model of your laptop? [04:31] ugh! this is useless! i think i might take a break and try again tomorrow [04:32] thanks for your help guys, cya! [04:32] ares in ubuntu? [04:32] I have an Acer Aspire 1680.

[04:33] can i install freely debian packages (.deb) un my intrepid ibex? [04:33] Javier88: if you want mass breakage then yes [04:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/140491/ [04:34] kevin_zhong: well then run sudo dpkg --configure -a :) [04:35] i need this program pacpl_4.0.4-1_all.deb . and the only deb i could find was that one [04:35] ok [04:35] perl audio converter!

Version 4.0.3-2ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 67 kB, installed size 408 kB [04:35] oh come on, Virtualbox is still insisting I install it === ubuntu_ is now known as sdowofs [04:36] kevin_zhong: yes, you have to install it [04:36] how can I make it stop inssiting? [04:36] HA the other ubuntu machine boots its sda drive's grub that then mounts sdb's / ! [04:36] oh [04:36] kevin_zhong: once its done installing you can remove it :) [04:36] jeje, ok ty [04:36] i have a 8.10 install that has no internet, but i need to get the network manager applet reinstalled, can i just download the *.deb and install it after i boot into it? [04:36] sudo ip route add 10.0.0.0/8 via 172.16.20.132 does not seem to like me it says RTNETLINK answers: File exists :-s [04:36] bruce89 whare can i find that package for intrepid? [04:37] !info pacpl intrepid [04:37] Package pacpl does not exist in intrepid [04:37] is there a command that gives the owner permission to read and write a file? [04:37] Javier88: you don't without backporting [04:37] lu6cifer: sudo? [04:37] I know how to do it, but is there a terminal command that does it for me [04:37] ? [04:37] yea [04:37] but I mean actually change the permissions [04:37] chmod [04:37] chmod :-) === defcon is now known as Guest68767 [04:38] lu6cifer use chmod to change the permissions [04:38] lu6cifer: chmod +rw I think [04:38] ok, so to uninstall it would it be: sudo apt-get uninstall virtualbox-2.1 ? [04:38] thanks bruce89 [04:38] thanks [04:38] kevin_zhong: yep, you might want to do sudo apt-get --purge remove virtualbox-2.1 [04:39] ok, thanks [04:39] does anybody in this room knows a good converter from mp3 to m4a? [04:39] Javier88: for which purpose? [04:39] tyvm ziroday [04:39] bruce89 i'ts a small format that works in my cellphone with excellent quality [04:40] Javier88: sound-converter possibly [04:40] ziroday soud converter doesn't support m4a [04:40] Javier88: be aware lossy-lossy conversion is not a good idea [04:40] question to everyone: how safe is Linux? (be as specific as you want) and what security measures can i do to make it even safer? [04:40] should i be using something other than ip route with ubuntu? :-s [04:40] Hi ppl. Did any1 worked with usb_gsm modems? [04:41] i get it, the automatic configuration was imprinted with the disk's "serial number" and /boot was dded from the now lockedout system to the restore system. makes sense... [04:41] Hey guys. does anyone know how i can clear/reset the names, of network interface cards, eth0, eth1 etc? thanks [04:41] what do you sugest bruce89? [04:41] Javier88: leaving the files the way they are [04:41] kevin_zhong: that question is better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic as it has a very long, complicated answer. Short answer: its depends, but its safer then most [04:41] Thanks ziroday, ciao [04:41] where can i download the install programs for 8.10 instead of using the CD to install them? [04:41] anyone here used a Hitachi AMS500 SAN? or experience with one?

[04:43] after editing in /boot/grub, what do i need to do to ensure the next boot will see the changes? [04:44] How do u Install a Wi-fi Driver [04:44] bruce89 because i upgraded motherboards [04:44] buzzsaw, Are you trying to view the routing table or add a route? [04:44] anything? [04:44] kb3ien: It should be something like ctrl+x and then it will ask if you want to save. [04:45] so i dont need to call the grub binary if i edited by hand? [04:46] jordan_u i am trying to route the traffic [04:46] kb3ien: Were you in an X session when you did? I'm not sure if it matters, I've always updated it with nano before booting. [04:46] buzzsaw, ip route add [04:46] sudo ip route add 10.0.0.0/8 via 172.16.20.132 does not seem to like me it says RTNETLINK answers: File exists :-s [04:46] anybody know how to get rid of the splash screen in kile?

[04:51] !jaunty [04:51] 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. [04:52] in a nutshell i am setting up a linux box to handle about 150 connections, i will be using it as a radius server and also running squid-guard as a transparent proxy [04:52] for now i am just playing around on vm's on my laptop so that i understand how every thing works when i go to do it [04:52] another question that may help me solve my problems ... where does hal get its config from? [04:53] does anyone have experience using brickos? i cant get the IR tower to work on a serial (RS232) port to work [04:53] as in -- how does hal know what to set as the parameters for a particular udi? ... im somewhat in the dark here -- i dont really know anything about hal [04:54] i think that i will have to us iptables (i have not messed with networking with linux in a while :-) [04:54] untoldone: /usr/share/hal/fdi [04:54] buzzsaw, Did you add the link twice? [04:54] !rules [04:54] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:54] buzzsaw, s/link/route [04:55] I just started Linux how do u Install Frostwire or something similar to this [04:55] Are we allowed to post links other than pastebin here? [04:55] i tried to add it but it did not work i checked the route table but did not see the route [04:56] buzzsaw, Is the interface with access to 172.16.20.132 up ? [04:56] yes [04:57] I'm trying not to give up on Ubuntu, but I really want ACPI to work. I found a fix for the acpi problems, but the user is using SuSe 9.3 pro. I'm wondering if you guys think his fix would work for intrepid. Here is the link: http://www.whoopy.it/linux/ACPI_problem_linux_resolved.html [04:57] hum just plain old route should show if the route was added right? [04:57] nkei0: Please keep your links on topic and work safe. [04:57] is there a way to use the open-jdk implementation of java runtime in firefox? I don't see a plugin in the usual repositories...

[05:00] zekAtreides: dmesg | grep tty [05:00] uh! spambots on ubuntu channel too?! [05:01] swathanthran: ? [05:01] any suggestions for forcing grub to NOT autoboot? [05:01] easy [05:01] bruce89: theres only /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi -- but hal has config setup for evtouch [05:01] jrib: getting pms.. [05:01] kb3ien: Do you mean, not automatically choose an os to boot, but let you choose it? [05:01] yes. [05:02] bruce89: is there another source of hal config? [05:02] swathanthran: from? [05:02] untoldone: haven't a clue [05:02] Coment out the timer, and it will wait forever.... [05:02] kb3ien: 10 seconds sounds more reasonable [05:02] http://crossfire.pastebin.com/m3c62b367 [05:03] there we go [05:03] Anikkka.. wasn't english.. may be its asking for help or something.. but that was quick as i get in!:) Anikkka: don't do that! [05:03] kb3ien: Well, the default os is zero. Usually ubuntu. A lot of people then have some text at some point that says "Other operating systems". Change that to say "Select operating system", then change the boot number to something like 2 or 3 depending on what entry it is. It will automatically sit on that text until you select an os. [05:03] hi once my system shutdown smoothly but no longer... "shutdown -h now" on root and normal shutdown are having same output.. just stuck without any logs.. [05:04] hello ,everybody [05:04] kb3ien, i guess you can comment the line which says "timeout" [05:04] #timeout 5 [05:04] dont follow what do i change 'default 0' to default '999' or something big? [05:05] kb3ien: no, everyone is discussing the "timeout" option, not that one [05:05] kb3ien: no no, you count how many entries there are, if there are 2 and then the text that would mean the text is at position three. But in grub speak, 3 is 2, so you would make that your default. [05:05] ah [05:05] i remeber that now. [05:06] how can i know whether its problem with acpi or splash or anything else? [05:06] kb3ien: If you post the output of 'cat /boot/grub/menu.lst' to pastebin, I can be more specific. [05:06] may be i should do some restart games changing menu.lst?!:) [05:06] Ubuntu 9.04: WOW [05:06] kb3ien: Or you might try fiddling with the timeout as others have suggested. Never tried that, but it sounds like it should work too. [05:06] does anyone know how to enable cairo dock..? [05:07] newb question: in console when using 'dir' for directory list...is there an argument to hide \ (backslash) space charictar?......or output 'dir' to file ?? [05:08] Tech-Mike: what do you want to hide exactly? ls > FILE will save (and overwrite) output to the file FILE [05:08] buzzsaw, You already have a route to 10.0.0.0/8 [05:09] ah i was just reading it wrong [05:10] Can anyone suggest setting do I need to change to stop windows from jumping to the front when the mouse is over them? [05:10] jrib: when using dir - if theres a directory containing a space in the name (ex: The One ) it outputs The\ One....hide \ [05:10] Tech-Mike: use ls then === spork is now known as Guest74634 [05:11] jrib: trying now...also - is there an ls arg for numbered entries ? [05:11] (that is... Can anyone suggest what setting I need to change...) [05:11] Anybody know their way around Freevial? [05:12] Tech-Mike: what do you mean? By the way, it appears "--quoting-style" is the option you want, but ls defaults to not showing you escaped spaces so just use that [05:12] !anyone | TheUnknownOne [05:12] TheUnknownOne: 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? [05:12] see ya.. [05:12] jrib: ls argument to number lines [05:13] ubottu: good point. I'm not exactly familiar with IRC... I guess it shows. [05:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:13] TheUnknownOne: Fail. lol [05:13] Tech-Mike: you can use « nl » I guess...

[05:15] TheUnknownOne: just ask the channel your next question about it [05:15] Honestly I'm using Vista since it was free (and legal). lol [05:15] If I didn't have that I would be on Linux. [05:15] How do I change the Freevial question set? I've written my own but I don't know how to plug them into the program.

[07:51] Lunar: whats seems to be the prob [07:51] Phil_Ewert: The server installation is by default just a minimal system with a differently tuned kernel. You add on services from there. [07:52] Phil_Ewert, no, the server doesn't boot into a gui, you basically build it from there [07:52] tonyyarusso, 'ya beat me [07:52] i have problems with installing ubuntu now i try to install it i cant choose any thing exept guided- use entire disk [07:53] !paste [07:53] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[07:54] !desktop | Guest59065 [07:54] Guest59065: A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors [07:54] thx, tonyyarusso [07:54] tonyyarusso [07:54] i want a collaborative UNIX [07:54] like a wiki [07:55] are there any advantages then for switching to xubuntu that I couldnt get from just logging in in an XFCE gui? [07:55] can i install UNIX on Wiki [07:55] wahnfrieden: i dont understand you [07:55] can I pay someone to do this [07:55] wahnfrieden, UNIX is an operating system, [07:55] wahnfrieden: UNIX is an operating system. A wiki is a collaboratively edited web site. You can't install an operating system on a web site. [07:55] any one help? um stuck now with ubuntu live .. [07:55] i want a collaboratively edited operating system [07:56] Guest59065: Other than saving a couple megabytes of disk space they are the same. [07:56] is there a web app version of UBUNTU UNIX? [07:56] tonyyarusso: you can if its a webtop [07:56] wahnfrieden: First, Ubuntu is not Unix. [07:56] mib_i885ce: eh? [07:56] UBUNTU BSD [07:57] So why the need for Xubuntu when I can get the same from logging in under XFCE? [07:57] h00k with using the optiorns do you have to do them in order or should it matte [07:57] wahnfrieden: It's Linux dude. [07:57] tonyyarusso: such as eyeos, an os that can be installed to a webserver and users can create accounts and use it like any os [07:57] UBUNTU LINUX Web app? [07:57] DSKStudio-EEEPC, no, it shouldn't matter [07:57] ty [07:57] wahnfrieden: Let's start over. Try describing what the end result you wish to accomplish would look like / do. [07:58] I need help with BIND, Apache and subdomains on a local network [07:58] So why the need for Xubuntu when I can get the same from logging in under XFCE?

[07:58] i think he wants like ubuntu on a webpage that ppl can connect to and well all share in, is that correct wahnfrieden [07:58] Guest59065: it's just packaging [07:58] does anyone know where i can find the AAC encoder for soundconverter? [07:59] Guest59065: To save steps of installing one system first and then adding another, mainly. [07:59] Lunar: is that option greyed out? [07:59] huh. [07:59] mib_i885ce I will pay you [07:59] Guest59065-> it's often used on older machines with limited resources [08:00] mib_i885ce what did ya mean? [08:00] wahnfrieden: is that sorta what you want though, an online version of ubuntu, like the webtops, such as goEverywhere and eyeos? [08:00] Lunar: it's some kind of a shared vnc I suppose [08:00] No [08:00] Just get it done for me and I'll pay [08:01] aha.. thanx [08:01] wahnfrieden: i am not fully sure as to what you want, can you describe what an end user whould do === mib_i885ce is now known as Jason_WT [08:02] No [08:02] That's what I'm paying you for [08:02] If you're not capable, don't waste my time [08:04] wahnfrieden: Okay, let's say this again slowly.... You haven't yet told anyone WHAT you want done, so it would be 100% impossible for anyone to do it for you, paid or not. [08:04] What [08:04] wahnfrieden: We have absolutely no idea what on earth you're talking about, because you haven't put together a coherent sentence on the subject yet. [08:04] English, do you speak it [08:04] i can do it wahnfrieden, although i will need to be paid upfront [08:04] muddles fine [08:04] Please send me a time estimate/cost quote [08:04] muddles: Cash, no receipts.

[08:08] #phys2009 [08:08] muddles yes. As long as you can send verification that you are not a mud [08:08] tonyyarusso: So when you do ltsp-build-client does that by default install the gnome packages as well? My guess is no. [08:08] centaur5: That I have no idea, sorry. [08:09] tonyyarusso: That's alright. Thanks though. [08:09] wahnfrieden, i am not a mud. i promise.

[08:17] You can play with your BIOS settings some and turned up fan speeds / down processor speed, but I really don't recommend that if you don't know what your doing. [08:17] How do I find out what driver my wireless card is using? [08:18] yes, i guess over 1500rpm.. [08:18] problems starts when i try to play an mp3, radio online , virtualbox, or other decoding... [08:19] Your best bet is to invest in some better fans. [08:19] A_nowy, it does sound like your heating up a bit and it might be hardware related. Is this a laptop? [08:20] ok, is beeping now again , i must to close..sorry:( [08:20] Sounds like he has a cracked coolant pipe if it's a laptop or his fan is dead/dying. [08:20] Yep. [08:21] If it's "crashing" then something hardware wise is wrong (or he just did some upgrades with no idea of how to do it). === Strider_ is now known as LostCause [08:22] how to set DejaVu Sans/Serif/Mono the default police for the whole system and for all users ? [08:22] i mean the default font [08:22] maxagaz: i already wondered what the police has to do with it. [08:23] maxagaz: i think you should have a font-dialog in system->preferences->appearance [08:23] maxagaz, I believe its per user in System -> Preferences -> Appearance, I don't think you can do system-wide. [08:23] phaer, yeah that's the french word for font ;) [08:24] phaer, h00k, i need to know the file to modify to make it system-wide [08:24] maxagaz: ~/.gtkrc or ~/.themes//gtkrc [08:25] I joined freenode.net some time ago but never actually came back till now and now I don't recall why .. lol .. what is this server about, please [08:25] maxagaz, I think you're going to have to set it for all users, it takes the settings from the home directories [08:25] maxagaz: but this would only be for gtk-apps, theres ~/.Xdefaults for native x11 apps but i have no idea about qt apps [08:26] maxagaz: look up on how to use fontconfig and .fonts.conf files. usually users have default fonts set to sans and serif, so set preference for those two [08:26] maxagaz: ah, for all users you mean? do all users use the same theme? [08:26] of course, if they have .fonts.conf in theirs, it'd be useless.... [08:26] ubuntu / kubuntu whats the difference? i know one is kde and one gnome but pros cons? [08:27] compguy1011, its really user preference between the two [08:27] is it just looks? hook [08:27] compguy1011: it's very difficult to say, you'd really have to try to feel the difference [08:27] compguy1011: ubuntu pro: gnome, kubuntu con: kde ;) [08:27] compguy1011, but thats an personal thing of course [08:28] ive just always used gnome, but was gonna install ubuntu and was wondering about kde [08:28] phaer, no, they don't all use the same theme [08:28] compguy1011, you can also use kde in your ubuntu install, and switch back and forth at the login screen [08:28] maxagaz then i would recommend you to follow syockits tipp [08:28] margom: See http://freenode.net/ for more information about Freenode. For Freenode-related questions or support, see #freenode. Freenode's general chat channel is #defocus.

[08:42] speakman-> exit firefox ...rename ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla_backup and then restart firefox from the terminal and see if that helps...you will also see if there are any errors with firefox [08:42] phaer: Hah, well of course I wouldn't. What's a good way to backup files though. Anytime I've ever messed with any of the fixes for this acpi issue i've always ended up having to reinstall. (I'm a newb too) [08:42] phaer:okay thanks,how to remove it??first i tried apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [08:42] hi alll... [08:42] i installed ubuntu 8.10 on my dell inspiron notebook [08:42] iam not able to connect to internet - [08:42] wanna_learn_more, remoe what? [08:42] and my wireless is not enabling [08:42] can someone guide me === shadow-NAPPING is now known as margom [08:43] phaer:forget it,i found it already.thanks [08:43] anyone here successfully cracked a rar password? [08:43] consoleart: Do you have a kill switch on your laptop anywhere? [08:43] nkei0, i don't know, i would have copied them so you could copy them back with a live cd if it breaks your system [08:43] what's the best way to copy all my data over to a new hard disk? [08:43] yes.... [08:43] I have a linux, windows, and swap partition [08:43] copy and paste? Shadowpillar :P [08:43] i tried disabling it and enabling it again [08:44] but no help... [08:44] using gparted? [08:44] Shadowpillar, sorry i was joking :S [08:44] Shadowpillar, best in which way? speed? [08:44] my wireless networks does not show at all in the network list [08:44] speed, accuracy, etc [08:44] consoleart: Open up a terminal window and type in iwconfig [08:44] I recreated the partition table on the new one manually [08:44] jklock: you there mate? [08:44] Shadowpillar, cp -R i guess ;) [08:45] consoleart: You'll probably see eth0: radio off or something like that, let me know if you do [08:45] Shadowpillar, ah, whole partitions. if your harddisks have the same size you could use dd (disk dump) [08:45] 80 gb vs. 1 TB [08:45] ;) [08:45] iwconfig: it says no wireless extensions [08:45] I have like 400 gb of space I have no idea what to do with [08:46] quibbler: the error seems intermittent. It worked with the new .mozilla, but changing back to .mozilla_backup also works right now. If I experience that behavior again I'll try a new .mozilla then. Thanks for helping. [08:46] after partitioning it to how I need it [08:46] Shadowpillar, so just mount your empty new partitions and copy with cp -R [08:46] is it normal that some applications natively for linux block the sound output for the same device to other apps natively linux or wine? [08:46] Mav*nix [08:46] nkei0 - i typed iwconfig and it says no wireless extensions [08:46] consoleart: Is there any other "eth" or "pan" thingies showing up? [08:46] phaer: well right now I'm using gparted to copy my windows partition over === MaverickTech_ is now known as Mav [08:46] to see how well that goes [08:47] speakman-> you can also start firefox in safe mode and turn off ans on addins plugins etc to try and find the problem [08:47] if it works out I'm gonna get on a live usb and finish it that way [08:47] in iwconfig ? no [08:47] it says lo - no wirelss... [08:47] Shadowpillar, should work but then you got some partitions with an overall size of 80gb on a 1tb hd, or not? [08:47] eth0 - no wirelesss... [08:47] wlan0 - no wireless [08:47] phaer: yeah my new linux partition = 100 gb, new windows partition = 80 gb [08:48] old linux = 40 gb old windows = 15 gb [08:48] no wait [08:48] consoleart: I'd be willing to bet that you need to find a new driver for your wireless card or it isn't getting recognized, something like that. If you google it you should be able to find something on it. [08:48] linux is 60 gb [08:48] is there any way on seeing in Ubuntu what type of memory you got in your computer (Amount, Mhz ddr1,2,3 etc?) [08:48] speakman: What's your problem? [08:49] Shadowpillar, i don't understand how that works, but i never used gparted, learned partitioning the "hard" way with fdisk === root is now known as Guest38070 [08:49] phaer: well from ps, looks like it's using ntfscopy [08:49] hi all, how can I assign the output of a command to a variable using make file ? [08:50] sn00p-: i don't know why you have it there, but bridge is not a wireless hardware driver. it's just a driver to bridge between network devices [08:50] I tried variable=`command` and variable=$(command) and variable=command but in vain [08:50] armedking, don't know about the memory type, but you can get the size with "cat /cat/proc/meminfo" [08:50] ok...i will check ...thnx [08:52] * Shadowpillar is hoping 60/80gb SSDs go down in price soon [08:52] Shadowpillar, i guess this is quite the same as mounting it with ntfs-3g and cp -R it ;) [08:52] armedking: err phears command should read cat /proc/meminfo :) [08:52] Guest38070: `command` should do the trick. what does it output if you, say, echo `command` ? [08:52] awesome! [08:52] ziroday oh, of course, thanks. [08:53] syockit: it really prints the command, but when I use it with the variable the variable takes the value `command` [08:53] syockit: can I echo the value of `command` to a variable ? [08:54] Guest38070: you'd still need ` ` [08:54] syockit: so ? [08:54] Hey guys, is there a way to force an application to use swap instead of RAM? I have a very memory hungry piece of code I need to run, and I know that it will take a long time, and will not be adversely affected by memory speed. [08:55] nkei0: FF got strange behavoirs, but it suddenly work so... :) [08:55] speakman: Did it lose the title bar? [08:55] I'm trying to install the Tahoma.ttf fonts, do I put them in ttf-dejavu or ttf-liberation directories? [08:55] Guest38070: try again. e.g. nowdate=`date -R`; echo $nowdate . It should display date -R output [08:56] Hobz: putting them in the root dir of those should be fine. [08:56] Hobz: whats the path? [08:56] ziroday, so /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ [08:56] soyckit: it does in bash but not in a makefile [08:56] Hobz-> make a .fonts directory in your home and put it there [08:57] Hobz: sounds correct, that will install the font system wide [08:57] k [08:57] quibbler's way will do it for just your user [08:57] Guest38070: I'm not so detailed about environments in makefile, probably you'd have to export them [08:58] soyckit: I did :( [08:58] hello [08:58] soyckit: but in vain [08:58] Is it even possible to force a process to use ONLY swap, and not RAM? [08:58] Hello [08:58] Are there any weather desklets that work on ubuntu? [08:58] Is this the right place to be asking about packaging? [08:58] archman: screenlets have a few [08:59] gordonsyme: #ubuntu-motu would be better [08:59] ziroday, tnx :) [08:59] ziroday: thanks [08:59] archman-> add to panel weather report [08:59] hi [08:59] can iknow where to set my ip at shell? [08:59] ziroday, quibbler, I'm using xfce [09:00] using /rc.local isnt work..every reboot my ip become default again [09:00] Guest38070: yeah, I also tried exporting from a child shell, but it doesn't get back to the parent [09:00] hi [09:00] wanna_learn_more: you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces to set your ip through the terminal. NB that might break network manager [09:00] soyckit: so is there a way out of this ? [09:01] when will be the next ubuntu 9.0? [09:01] Not possible? Okay, I'll just have to settle for significantly lower performance for a few days [09:01] Hello, I have a 3g modem and wounder is there a way to start the conncetions from the commandpromt ?

[10:19] Netlynx: when you do ls -l it will show what is in that directory, if nothing then it will show nothing [10:19] ziroday: How could I find out if it is going into standby? I set up ethernet bridging for KVM (kernel virtual machine; like qemu or vmware), now when I come back to my computer after leaving it for a bit, the network is borked up. I added networking to the STOP_SERVICES in /etc/default/acpi-support and it fixed the problem, leading me to believe networking breaks on suspend. [10:20] any know know how using with ccsm ? [10:20] !anyone | taz [10:20] taz: 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? [10:20] mib_4k6wetsk: maybe you search for xp bootscreen for linux and then replace the image. i dont know it sucvh thing exists [10:21] kevin_: will it shouldn't go to suspend at all, did you install ubuntu server into your vm? [10:21] pozic: hey i ran it in mplayer but an error came up [10:21] already set cube... one already picture of top cube.. how can put picture of button cube? [10:21] ziroday: no, gentoo rather [10:21] ziroday My terminal is not updated . A directory with files in it. Does not shown. The screen itself is sometimes not updated. If i move that terminal. The screen is forced to be redrawn. And the missing output is shown. [10:21] kevin_: then is ubuntu your host computer? [10:21] ziroday: I wanted to do my first kernel module and was pissed ubuntu didn't come with source. [10:22] ziroday: yeah, rather kubuntu, but still ubuntu. [10:22] kevin_: okay, and its ubuntu that is suspending, or gentoo? [10:22] knut: dont wanna replace the bootscreen. i want to boot ubuntu using the windows 7 boot loader (the screen with "Windows 7", "XP" etc. options - i want to add Ubuntu) [10:22] ziroday: ubuntu. [10:22] Netlynx: I'm sorry I'm not following. Can you take a screenshot [10:23] i have trouble launching MysQL server.. the installation shows 'Apparmor Profile Loaded'.. 'Starting MySql' and then it fails. While I disable the apparmor and then start the server, it works... can you suggest me something.. Seems mysql profile in apparmor is blocked [10:23] Morning, fast question, how can i check what program use much memory? I must do it in bash. I thought that "top" will be ok, but it doesn't not seems to show all processes [10:23] mib_4k6wetsk: wow, may i see a screenshot of your theme you are using? :) [10:23] kevin_: right, and is that ubuntu desktop you installed? [10:23] ziroday: either that or I borked up my /etc/network/interfaces config when I set up bridging, and after time things break. [10:23] I tried the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor to disable.. but again dont know how it is auto enabled [10:23] ziroday: yes, but rather kubuntu desktop. [10:24] ziroday will do. one moment [10:24] unknown_: top shows all process [10:24] hi all [10:24] kevin_: hmm, I don't know sorry. I know that the ubuntu desktop should not suspend at all. I doubt kubuntu is different [10:24] mib_4k6wetsk: but this could wor because if you instal ubuntu per "wubi" the windows bootloader is used [10:24] unknown_: try > to navigate [10:24] ziroday: so I have no gui power meddling tools, and I've never had to mess with power stuff from a command line (cause it didn't do this to me). === Florin is now known as Guest94749 [10:24] Q: i wanna reinstall my OS and i have one partition,is there any way to not loose my data? [10:24] ziroday: thanks anyhow [10:25] Guest94749: Back it up. === Guest94749 is now known as floryn [10:25] kevin_,ok..but how?on dvd? [10:25] floryn: there are resizers out there, but make sure to back your shit up or you (may) feel pain. [10:26] any help over the apparmour breaking my mysql server [10:26] floryn: i dunno, have you got an external hard drive? a friend with a network connection and a big hard drive? [10:26] kevin_,true,better back up [10:26] krs-one ;P [10:26] kevin_,nothing from all of this [10:26] floryn: and test the backup first. make sure all the stuff you need is there and works. [10:26] ra21vi: it looks at least "strange" today in my sister comp somethings happened. more than usually /swap is used, and no free memory is about one minut after reboot (only 1GB, but before was ok) === Dice_ is now known as purpses === ROSHA is now known as RoozbehOnline [10:27] kevin_,but i think i will write some dvd and thats it [10:27] kevin_,o,btw it is better when reinstall a clean os to make many partitions or one ? [10:27] floryn: well just make sure your stuff works (before resizing the partition), then you'll be fine. [10:27] floryn: what do you mean? what kind of setup are you on now? [10:28] soo after updating to jaunty my evolution seg faults with "GThread-ERROR **: file /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.20.0/gthread/gthread-posix.c: line 171 (g_mutex_free_posix_impl): error 'Device or resource busy' during 'pthread_mutex_destroy ((pthread_mutex_t *) mutex)'". [10:28] Anyone know whats up? =) [10:28] floryn: (as in, migrating from windows to dual booting windows, etc) [10:28] unknown_: in top, sort by memory, i thin 'M' (caps) will do it [10:28] and let you find which on eis using the most memory [10:28] or is there some other channel to discuss beta issues? [10:28] kevin_,i dont have dual-boot [10:28] krs: consider reinstalling evolution [10:28] ? [10:28] floryn: are you on windows now? or linux? [10:28] kevin_,only linux ubuntu all system data and private data on one partition [10:28] knut, done that [10:28] krs: hmm [10:28] kevin_,linux [10:29] after changing computer name, is restart requires? [10:29] funny... now after about 10 minuts after reboot, gives a sound of "starting system" :/ [10:29] krs: does jaunty use the old repo of evolution or a new one? [10:29] floryn: I always go with two partitions, one for swap and one for my data (cause I cant figure out how to get a swap file working, which I would really prefer, like Gobolinux uses) [10:29] kevin_,i mean is better when reinstall system again to make 1 big partition or 2 or 3 whatever like in windows c.d.e [10:30] knut, new one, ill try the old version again and see if that works. [10:30] floryn: I never do. [10:30] kevin_,i see [10:30] krs: ok [10:30] krs: :P [10:30] floryn: some people swear by it, but it's old school. [10:30] I go with four partitions, 100MB /boot, 1GB swap, 10GB / and the rest in /a ;-) [10:31] ra21v: maybe can you look at output of the top, and you'll see what's wrong there? :( http://pastebin.com/d2ee299e5 Thanks ra21v [10:31] kevin_,and for me (i am still a noob in linux) what is your advice 2 or 1 partitions?or doesn't matter? [10:31] what is a swap partition? [10:31] ziroday: have screenshot of problem missing screen output. How can i send it to you? [10:31] Bluenzo, like a page-file in windows, used as RAM [10:31] floryn: the reason people used to do it all the time is if everything is in one partition, and some nasty shell script fills the disk or something, the system would freeze (and you'd be locked out). So they made different partitions so if one filled up you weren't locked out of the whole system. [10:31] krs, thanks, i dont need that I guess, I have plenty of ram [10:32] !imagebin | Netlynx [10:32] Netlynx: Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add and link it from the channel. [10:32] bluenzo: It's like ram, but its on your hard drive! [10:32] a swap replaces the windows page file as a place for the OS to put data when ram is all used. [10:32] bluenzo, you should have one anyway, its almost always used. [10:32] kevin_,i understand [10:32] bluenzo go with twice your ram in swap-size [10:32] ra21v: I've just compared that to my result... she's got 662 Task... I only 137 :P when I've opened much more programs.. [10:32] krs, im sure I have one, why is it used if I have plenty of memory? [10:32] No protocol specified [10:32] (gpartedbin:31467): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :20.0 [10:32] Does anyone know if ubuntu can do swap files? I saw it on gobolinux and liked it a lot. [10:32] krs: i have 6GB of RAM.. i would hate to waste 12 GB on swap [10:33] hi all [10:33] bluenzo, the kernel swaps out stuff you arent using at the moment to that space so you have more RAM for the stuff that is actually running [10:33] how does one see how much ram is really in use? [10:33] does anbody know how to tweak the UI of nautilus so that it will look like this: http://imagebin.org/43684 [10:33] AD2008: top === purpses is now known as Fire [10:33] AD2008, System Monitor [10:33] ta [10:33] does any one know how to replace nano editor in midnight commander? it is turned on by deefault in Ubuntu9 [10:33] AD2008, System -> Administration -> System Monitor [10:33] * vak hates nano [10:34] AD2008: or, if you like command lines, type top into the terminal [10:34] kevin_,my hdd is 160 Gb,should i resize 80/80 or 100 / 60 or something? [10:34] go with the default setup, it works great [10:34] floryn: are you just upgrading or something? [10:34] if you dont have a reason to repartition in another way [10:35] floryn: Really, I'd just go so I had enough room to move my old stuff on in, then kill the old partition. [10:35] kevin_,i have kiwi linux and i wanna install ubuntu 8.10 (which is same thing)but kiwi come with some stuf preinstalled and i wanna use ubuntu tu learn [10:35] kevin_,ok [10:35] floryn: ah, I see. what about kiwi do you need though? [10:35] хэй, педрилы английские, дарова!!!

[10:37] ziroday (http://imagebin.org/43695) This what I mean? You see that the blinking cursor moved back to the beginning if the line, but the actual output as a result of that command is not printed. It is just forgotten to update. The command however is executed. Is there somebody that can tell if this is a hardware related issue or just a driver problem. (I see similar things in windows) [10:37] floryn: you can do that with ubuntu just the same. If it's language support you want though, I'd keep it. Otherwise, ditch it. [10:38] kevin_,and help support for modem adsl installing ,that old shit thing ^^ [10:38] один лишь дедушка ленин хороший был вождь [10:38] а все другие остальные - [10:38] такое гавно [10:38] !language | floryn [10:38] floryn: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

And I have no idea sorry. Does it happen in other terminal emulators? [10:40] kevin_,it works on live cd,so that mean on a clean install will work too? [10:40] whatever [10:40] ziroday tried mote than one terminal emulator. [10:40] does any one know how to replace nano editor in midnight commander? it is turned on by default in Ubuntu9 [10:40] !es | manelbq [10:40] manelbq: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [10:40] kevin_,that's good..ok [10:40] females, zaebites <-- what does that even mean? [10:40] floryn: Pretty much, yeah. Thats why I switched (from gentoo), I got sick of fighting with my hardware. [10:41] I guess it is possible that it is hardware related. [10:41] DigitalKiwi: the translation will not be accepted on this channel :) [10:41] vak: uses its own internal editor and viewer at least in intrepid and all the linuxes i used all over the years [10:41] ubuntu support channel *only* [10:41] kevin_,ok so i will reinstall all system and make 2 partitions and i will write some music on a dvd and that's it [10:42] erUSUL: how to set it? [10:42] floryn: I'd just back up your data, resize the partition (if you want, but make it small and plan on getting out of there would be my reccomendation), then once you've gotten everything working, whack the partition. [10:42] vak: wut? [10:42] floryn: (the old one rather) [10:42] vak: i do not understand the question.. if you press F4 you enter the internal editor (F3 is for viewer only) [10:42] floryn: good luck [10:43] kevin_,tnx mate [10:43] floryn: good night, I've got a messy messy test in five hours hours (and I need to sleep) [10:43] kevin_,tnx for the help have a nice day [10:43] ziroday never encountered something similar ? [10:43] kevin_,ok good luck to you [10:43] erUSUL: no, when I press F4 in midnight commander under Ubuntu9 I get nano! [10:43] vak: sorry you were right... now mc uses nano... [10:43] floryn: I don't know if it's possible... taking an entrance exam to caltech (as a transfer), and the math is going to be ultra brutal... I can't sleep ;[ [10:44] floryn: goodnight [10:44] vak: maybe it uses the default editor defined in EDITOR or VISUAL env variable [10:44] kevin_,you should sleep,if you know the book is all ok ;) [10:44] Hi all, I am using an external drive with an ext3 partition on it. I started having errors when creating directories, and fsck tells me that the physical dimension of the filesystem is different from that in the superblock [10:44] hi guys.. could anybody help me to create a /home-partition and then encrypt it? [10:45] however, I don't see an obvious way to fix it: fsck doesn't do that [10:45] vak: or the one defined via sudo update-alternatives --config editor [10:45] vak: try changing that [10:45] erUSUL: great, it indeed listen to EDITOR! [10:45] machtin. install cryptsetup or google private-home in the ubuntu wiki. [10:45] erUSUL: thanks! === Fire is now known as Ire [10:46] will do, thanks! [10:47] vak: no problem [10:47] Machtin private-home is also in the repos i think. this may be best as it unloacks automatically on login. [10:48] ushills: one thing: if i encrypt a partition to be /home.. will my stuff which is in /home now be gone? [10:48] i mean the folders like.. .opera .bla .bleh [10:48] Anyone settup a connection to MSSQL on ubuntu before? [10:48] because now i only have / [10:49] Machtin. Private-home creates a folder called private in home that you can symlink to cryptsetup will clear you home. [10:49] how to connect from ubuntu to some VPN.. .it's that works? [10:49] how do that ??? different wallpapers on each workspace [10:50] ziroday thanks anyway. will search for more info. [10:52] www.mirc.com [10:55] hi [10:55] does there exist window borders that'd place the border to the left side on the window? [10:55] erm.. dragging handle [10:55] Ranakah: configure it in the network applet? [10:56] Ranakah: you might have to install some additional packages [10:56] Cheery: yes, have you checked gnome-look.org? [10:57] yes [11:00] how to know my system is 32-bit or 64-bit [11:00] guys will this run every 10 mins -> */10 * * * * wget -r -N --no-host-directories --user=user --password=pass ftp://82.47.88.88/ -P/home/xb23/webs === dejai is now known as dejai[sleep] [11:01] sumal: do you mean your operating system or your machines capability? [11:02] my operating system [11:03] the disc you installed with should say 64bit if it is [11:04] how to know the machine capability? [11:05] sarmisak: do you happen to know a such theme that turns it to the left side of the window? [11:06] superL: how to know the machines capability? [11:06] Cheery: look for mac os x themes === r_m_b is now known as rimbo [11:06] link [11:06] suma1: check your CPU specifications, it should say if 64bit or not. if it is a notebook, its probably 32bit. [11:06] Cheery: gnome-look.org [11:07] sarmisak have link to any how to's for VPN? [11:07] ok [11:07] ikonia: there's hundreds of metacity themes there [11:07] ikonia: you can't reasonably expect I find the single one theme that has handlebars on the left side of the window. [11:08] Cheery: you can't expect us to look for you [11:08] Ranakah: sorry, no. [11:08] I can't expect you do anything at all [11:08] but certainly it's not helpful to paste such a link [11:08] Cheery: just search for mac os x? what's the hard part about it? [11:08] Cheery: of course it is, that is where the themes are [11:09] Cheery: I don't know if you are aware of that URL or not [11:09] sarmisak: still not found what I was looking for [11:10] Cheery: check out some other theme sites then [11:10] !themes > Cheery [11:10] Cheery, please see my private message [11:11] Cheery: it's possibly not a metacity theme, you should look in compiz or beryl themes. === ghost is now known as Guest57011 [11:11] guys can wget mirror a local directory exactly to a ftp directory? so if a file exists locally and is removed from the ftp wget will remove it from the local directory? [11:11] I never use compiz or beryl because they are slow [11:12] XB23: wget can mirror anything over http/ftp [11:12] but it's weird there's not more themes with handlebar on the left side of the window [11:12] actually can't find any of those. :/ [11:13] XB23: you can also use rsync instead of wget [11:13] ikonia yes but can it remove files? [11:13] XB23: what do you mean "remove" files ? [11:13] i can sarmisak cause its from a windows ftp server [11:13] cant* [11:13] I could of course just remove the handlebar, but it's occassionally useful thing. [11:13] ikonia well im mirroring a local dir with a remote dir [11:13] Cheery: who are you talking to ? [11:13] if the file is removed remotley i want to remove it locally to [11:13] XB23: ok - and you want to remove the target a it's mirrored ? [11:14] XB23: you want rsync [11:14] rsync wont run with windows though will it? [11:14] XB23: yeah, sure it will [11:14] ikonia: for you and sarmisak [11:14] <__tk> Cheery, its good because beryl and compiz, is heavy..for the system.. [11:14] oh? [11:14] ikonia but dont i need ssh? [11:14] and sftp etc etc [11:14] or can i do it with a simple ftp server running on windows? [11:14] XB23: http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/rsync/rsync_pc1.html [11:14] ah lovley [11:15] will take a look thankyou :) [11:15] __tk: I don't think they are particularly heavy. I think they are just poorly behaving. especially with opengl apps [11:15] Cheery: I don't think that metacity has an option to move buttons to the left [11:16] and sluggish because of that [11:16] i have a domain name and i installed wordpress. but i can see my website at http://mdomain.com not at http://www.mydomain.com. iam using hardy server edition. pls help me [11:16] sarmisak: well, now I know to stop looking for such then. thanks from helping me out. :) [11:17] n.p.

[11:20] but then, I have never found a nice theme from windows XP [11:20] guys am buying a new card shall i buy ATi or NVIDIA? [11:20] especially the themes like 'human vista' are ugly [11:20] http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=38796&file1=38796-1.png&file2=&file3=&name=Human+Vista [11:21] <__tk> Cheery, but ati and nvidia dont open your code.. and is very dificult to create good direct rendering modules in kernel [11:21] mib_jxge5a: nvidia [11:21] I'm sorry.

Why is it different? And how do I get the bytes transferred from the latter output? [11:21] __tk: who claims so? [11:22] kraut: 960o gt?

I dont like free radeon xorg drivers.. its slow in my machine... [11:24] thanks 4 the advise [11:24] __tk: it's pretty much like that. I hope the future processor wars and opencl change it.

[12:42] ?? [12:43] Jess3; so the problem still persists?? [12:43] Jess3: burning stuff at max makes for a poor burn towards the end and saves about a minute of time, a slow burn makes a better impression on the disk and usually gives better results [12:44] Jess3: also run the disk checker on the first boot screen to ensure the burned disk is ok. the md5 check you did is awesome (loads of people fail to check them) [12:44] i did check it btw; everything in order [12:45] Jess3: cool, just burn slower and you should be ok, you could also try [12:45] !bootoptions [12:45] For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [12:45] ActionParsnip1: I take it 1x is over the top ? [12:45] Jess3: if you can do it, I'd use it [12:45] ok [12:45] Jess3 you not only have to check cd errors...but also check for disk errors. while resizing vista there might have been disk errors that might have been masked...convert the free pertiton to a vista partition and do a disk check and cleanup [12:45] Jess3: the slowest I get is 4x which I always use [12:46] ActionParsnip1 get infrarecorder :p [12:46] ActionParsnip1; can you tell me where's this GNOME main menu button [12:47] PerryArmstrong: i dont use gnome, i'd imagine its on one of the application bars you have, if its not there you may need to add it [12:48] ActionParsnip1;i installed seamonkey and i needed the icon to appear in my applications after having installed from the dowloaded installation file === DaZ is now known as sdfghjk [12:48] !info seamonkey [12:48] seamonkey (source: seamonkey): The Seamonkey Internet Suite.

[15:19] scunizi: Odd, it was the 'headphone' slider. I increased that I blew my cat's ear drums out of the window. [15:19] pookair, use console: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [15:19] enyone here knows how to disable a device .... udev ? [15:19] what size should i use for a /tmp-partition? [15:19] I have the same card make sure you uninstall anything to do with nvidia glx or fglrx [15:19] movedx: yep.. wierdness lately with the sound.. after every reboot I have to raise the slliders on front and side to get sound. [15:20] Machtin: make it big [15:20] ubuser : And what is that? i currently uninstalled the drivers cause i couldnt change the resolution [15:20] ogy, what device are you talking about [15:20] scunizi: Hmm I see. I have no intention of rebooting often to be fair. I left my Windows machine on for weeks at a time (Windows Server 2003 box turned into a workstation) [15:20] sda [15:20] and sdb [15:20] Noob question here: Why is it that when I type cd /etc into the terminal I move into the /etc folder and when I type cd /etc/apt I move into the /etc/apt folder but when I type cd /etc and then I type cd /apt dash does not find it? In other words what is wrong with my syntax in this situation? Thanks! [15:20] scunizi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/140754/ [15:20] pookair, that changes your xorg.conf to default values [15:20] movedx: my machine sucks 600 watt so I turn it off at night.. [15:20] press ctrl+alt+bcksp to restart Xorg [15:20] huhuhuhu... tulong naman oh... [15:20] you don't want them to be mounted ? [15:21] ogy: and with big you mean..? [15:21] hi is it possible to remove gnome and replace it with lxde? [15:21] if people could read the Xorg logs, things would be much easier [15:21] NoobGuest: because there's no /apt. Once you're in /etc, you'd 'cd apt' [15:21] ubuser : But why do i need to do that? [15:21] no there a part of an arry mapper/nvicdia_ so i dont need whant them to be accessed at all === bogart is now known as dreiz === Sirderigo is now known as sirderigo [15:22] bakit walang sumasagot sakin [15:22] NoobGuest: the leading slash indicates an absolute path, starting at '/' [15:22] anyway i can make /usr/bin/nm-applet cache my keyring pw? i googled but found a couple of threads where they attempted to do this, lots of reports of failure but most threads were in 07 or 08, wanted to know if theres a definitive solution now.. im on 8.10 intrepid [15:22] KoolD: ok.. couple of things.. first open synaptic and check to make sure the intel 9xx driver is installed. uninstall other intel drivers. reboot or restart the gui.. if that does't work check the link I'll have ubottu give you [15:22] NoobGuest, '/' = root of the file system [15:22] prince jammie's: ok, so to recap, when you begin a directory... right [15:22] if you can id make it more then 10 GB [15:22] !trash [15:22] The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [15:22] pookair, your x.org configuration seems to be wrong (bad resolution, refreshing rate, etc) [15:22] anyone else having problems with pidgin + yahoo? [15:22] !intel | KoolD [15:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about intel [15:22] prince jammies: thanks [15:22] nado: thanks [15:22] the way Xorg works now, is that it autoloads almost every extension supported by the given driver, so you need to exclude in the extensions sections, rather than include in the load modules section [15:22] !resolution | KoolD [15:22] KoolD: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [15:23] KoolD: although it's a resolution link it talks about setting up the driver in xorg.conf [15:23] ubuser : It Works fine know only after install nvidia drivers the resolution changes to really low and the hz alsweel and i cant change it [15:23] hi. is it possible to have web application such as phpbb to be installed for multiple instances, that is, with separate database and cache folders from a single package? [15:23] ubuser: got your sound working yet ? [15:23] scunizi: thanks i'll check it out [15:23] Jess3, no luck ;( [15:24] why is it that I have to boot Windows first to gain maximum graphics performance in Ubuntu? [15:24] ok [15:24] just take a look in /var/log/Xorg [15:24] Machtin: if you can dont split it form your root and make root a 30GB it wil use about 7,5 gb [15:24] ubuser no luck [15:24] peace [15:24] hld, i think that's in the phpbb configuration, at installtion you can decide on the database [15:24] v ^_^ [15:24] oops hit space there [15:24] how to run lex and yacc program [15:25] ubuser: do $ aplay -l in console and pastbin the results [15:25] ogy: i want it to be encrypted.. [15:25] Cyberworm, you need to set up graphic card drivers in ubuntu [15:25] that's why i need it seperated. [15:25] scunizi: 600 watt? Yeah probably a good idea to turn that off :) [15:25] Incarus, I got the fglrx drivers installed === cthompson_ is now known as tyler_d [15:25] can anybody point me to a good tutorial on creating a wireless network? [15:25] nado: /dev/hda and /dev/hdb are a part of my raid arrey @ /dev/mapper/ so any direct access to them can harm it! [15:26] hello, why is it that? Forget it I already know the answer [15:26] Machtin: make it @ least 15 GB then [15:26] if I directly boot Ubuntu when my laptop was off, I only get half the performance [15:26] CYberworm, and if you start windows, and shut it down, and start linux, the graphic performance is higher, than if you just start windows? [15:26] how to run lex and yacc program? [15:26] but if I boot windows first and then reboot with Ubuntu, the performance is normal [15:26] I don't know (relatively) anything about the way drivers work on linux. How do I go about finding a better graphics driver solution then using safe-graphics off of the Ubuntu Live-On? [15:26] ogy, so you want to restrict access ... you can do that in /etc/fstab.. check man fstab [15:27] ogy: okay.. how come it uses so much space? [15:27] *than i mean [15:27] dll's [15:27] nado: its not in my fstab [15:27] CYberboot, hm, sound like ubuntu can not start the graphic card, or can not start it right [15:27] NoobGuest: www.google.com ? === Mr is now known as Guest46658 [15:27] Cyberworm, sry, hm, sound like ubuntu can not start the graphic card, or can not start it right [15:27] yes that's what I was guessing too [15:27] hoped that someone in here had a similar problem [15:28] they run slower mac because anyone else can use them. You could have 100 dll's in use and not notice a slowdown or improved speed. They are static mac non dynamis in cpu [15:28] Jess3: I am using a dell w/ onboard video and did not imagine I could easily google a linux driver for it? [15:28] Cyberworm, how did you test the performance? [15:28] Jess3, my "aplay -l" output: http://pastebin.com/f6add8cb5 [15:28] nado: its working but the kernel complains, it needs to be disabled this is a fact [15:28] first I run glxgears, then I try playing extreme tuxracer and warsow [15:28] also that island benchmark thingie [15:28] W how to run lex and yacc program? [15:29] ubuser: do sudo apt-get install alsa [15:29] Cyberworm, (use name), and how much FPS you get normally? [15:29] what does the kernel say ? what's the message ? [15:29] sdb: rw=0, want=1929406502, limit=976773168 [15:29] [ 96.922856] attempt to access beyond end of device [15:29] ganesh, install flex and bison [15:30] Jess3, "alsa-base" is already in newest version [15:30] any one tryed aTunes or GMPC? [15:30] have someone graphic card problems? [15:31] ubuser that is good [15:31] Incarus, well in glxgears I usually get 3k - 3,5k fps. Without booting Windows first the max. is around 2k [15:31] ubuser do sudo alsamixer [15:31] in extreme tuxracer normally it's about 120 fps and without booting windows first ~60 [15:31] ogy, forums seem to indicate and fsck solves the problem === praet^ is now known as praet [15:32] Cyberworm, wow, which graphic card, and which ubuntu version (use my name in the sentence) [15:32] Jess3, PCM and Master are both "100%" [15:32] hello all [15:32] ubuser, is your sound not working? [15:33] is not ;/ [15:33] ubuser, laptop? [15:33] No. [15:33] How do I add an application to the list in the pop-up window when removable media (CD, DVD, etc.) is inserted? [15:33] nado running fsck on /dev/hdb would kill my system as it just a part of my raid arry the error i get is logical, the only way to get rid of it is to disable /dev/hda and hdb how to do this is the a hole diferend matter [15:33] ubuser, k, check in alsa mixer, if the device is muted (the m in the terminal) [15:33] Who can tell me ,how can i run windows's software in ubuntu ? [15:33] ubuser: check all outputs [15:34] ubuser also cahnge devices [15:34] !wine | zhangra_ [15:34] zhangra_: 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 === shipclar is now known as plagerism [15:34] zhangra_: www.winehq.org [15:34] thank u ,ubottu [15:34] ubuser, gnome?

[15:34] no, xfce [15:35] i got alsa_output.pci in pulseaudio manager ;/ [15:35] Cyberworm, hm, k, hd, hm, i have to think about [15:35] rafaelscj: you mean you want a repository mirror? [15:35] ogy, i think you are making a lot of assumptions here, and you seemed pretty convinced [15:35] sarmisak, yes [15:35] ubuser, is the sound in gnome working? [15:35] i think is not [15:35] thanks for tones. [15:35] but wait, i'll check [15:35] k [15:35] zhangra_: no problem :P [15:36] tones, no thanks for me? [15:36] ^^ [15:36] it's pretty strange, isn't it? [15:36] Incarus: i guess it was your idea... [15:36] Incarus→ Humility is a difficult, but good disciplin to master. [15:36] ;) [15:36] Incarus: but it was quite obvious [15:36] kk [15:36] running Intrepid, I have managed to break my sound by trying to make it work with gtk-recordMyDesktop [15:37] how can I get eerything back to the defaults? [15:37] Cyberworm, yes, but i think you graohic card/pc is new, a newer driver version could(!) fix it [15:37] i have a folder that shows up in terminal but not nautilus... what gives?

There should be various howto's [15:38] hajmola, whats the name of the folder? === Mr is now known as Guest33987 [15:38] its starts with a [[, could that be the problem [15:38] Incarius my graphics card/pc isn't that new, it's over a year old at least [15:38] maybe that wasn't well expressed [15:39] hajmola: nice nick [15:39] oCean_, okay let me see [15:39] hajmola: check the contents of .hidden [15:39] I get wine already, thanks for all of u. [15:39] Cyberworm, k [15:39] jrib, ok [15:39] hey can aany one explane me wath the 2 ext3 partitions do (/ and /home) [15:39] ubuntu [15:39] 8.1 [15:39] Cyberworm, you could install the fglrx deb file from packages.ubuntu.com from jaunty, dont know if this would help [15:39] !fhs | zilleplus [15:39] zilleplus: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [15:39] noren, thanks [15:40] i don't get it [15:40] swap is no problem [15:40] zilleplus: what don't you get? [15:40] dide someone say something to be [15:40] but wath is the system and wath is programmes [15:40] my window blinked like soemone said something directed to me [15:40] zilleplus: read the link ubottu gave you [15:40] jrib, Incarus, could it be because the file name starts with [[filename]] [15:40] hajmola, could be a bug in nautlius (hm, special keys as file/folder names) [15:40] Incarus, hmm. I'll give it a try [15:40] hi.. how do I install the intel c compiler (icc) on ubuntu? I am getting the following error: "Missing optional pre-requisite: operating system type is not supported / system glibc or kernel version not supported or not detectable / binutils version not supported or not detectable" [15:40] i knoww but when i install i need to use 2 ext3 (one on / and one on /home ) [15:41] I have broken my sound by puttering around while trying to get gtk-recordMyDesktop, but I don't really know what I did. How can I diagnose the sound system on an Intrepid install and, if possible, revert it to the way it is when the installer finishes? [15:41] hajmola, was this with ls? [15:41] Hello. When I first installed Ubuntu in my laptop, sound was working just fine. Then I tried installing a new window manager(stumpwm) and something went totally wrong(don't know what) and know the sound(speakers) don't work! What can I do? [15:41] Waldir: 64 bit ? [15:41] hajmola: that shows up fine for me [15:41] zilleplus: you can do with one partition only [15:41] kandinski, enter "alsamixer" in terminal and turn up the volume [15:41] ogy: 32 [15:41] ooh can i?? [15:41] Cyberworm, k [15:41] :) [15:41] Incarus, with ls it shows up [15:41] is their a terminal (or gui) method for interrogating my graphics device for information? [15:42] zilleplus: filesytems can load other filesystems [15:42] hajmola: khatta ya meetha [15:42] Kandi but wath is the location then is it ( / only ore /home only)?? [15:42] Maybe a package that I should install in order to fix my sound problem? [15:43] noran, khatta, original all the way [15:43] monra: what the prob [15:43] zilleplus: splitting your filesystem into / (the computer's files) and /home (the users' files) on separate disks can be useful for admins [15:43] hajmola, i tried it, yes, its because of the [[, the terminal (ls) shows the file, but it isnt visible [15:43] zilleplus: / only [15:43] hajmola, checked with <> [15:43] Incarus: I had already tried alsamixer [15:43] ooh onkey else / home is data right then??? [15:43] Incarus: and the Gnome applet panel mixer too [15:43] !sound | monra [15:43] monra: 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 [15:44] zilleplus, yes [15:44] thanks [15:44] zilleplus: your system will always have /home [15:44] Incarus, ok, well I was able to rename it.... but it still doesn't show up. Even when I cp'd it to my desktop [15:44] hi there, can someone help me? I'm having problems installing icc (intel c compiler) in ubuntu === sirderigo-epg is now known as sirderigo- [15:44] the difference is whether /home is just a directory on the / filesystem, or a separate filesystem on a separate disk [15:44] ubottu: what do you mean volume control? I had the volume control at my desktop but after the problem(I previously said) it dissaperead [15:44] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:45] Incarus: the rule of thumb: if you don't know what it does, you don't need it [15:45] hajmola, yes, i treid it on the desktop. and yes, that seems to be a bug [15:45] hajmola, moment, i have to check [15:45] hajmola, wow, i think i should write a virus for linux [15:45] does anyone know where I can test the vlc firefox plugin for something other than flash, most sites as understand it only use flash now [15:45] Incarus, haha, name it with [[xx]] [15:46] hajmole, hm, forbidden in germany [15:46] haha [15:46] hajmola, renaming didnt fix it [15:46] hajmola: what version of ubuntu is this? This is current behavior [15:47] jrib, 64bit ibex [15:47] hajmola, could be a secret(?) system file name (i mean the [[]]) [15:47] !version | hajmola [15:47] hajmola: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [15:47] margaret, doesn't apple's move trailer site have non-flash videos? www.apple.com/trailer [15:47] hajmola, same thing under jaunty. i use jaunty [15:47] hajmola: erm, never mind. Okay, it doesn't happen in jaunty [15:47] I just got tiemu graphing calculator emulator and I am having trouble adding a launch to applications>acessories. I right click on applications>edit menus>accesories>new item I then open a new folder and search for tiemu, I drag and drop the application launcher to the Command: box in the create launcher box, the program won't launch so what is the right way to go about this? [15:47] I'm using ubuntu 8.10. How can I disable a specific wired network interface? ifdown eth0 does not work. I get "eth0 is not configured" even though ifconfig -a shows it is. [15:47] hajmola: didnt know about it, thanks [15:47] Incarus: how are you testing exactly? [15:48] hello again I can't seem to find help in #grub anyway to summarize my problem, grub doesn't work it gives Error 2 at booting, here's my menu.lst and fdisk results http://pastie.org/431436 [15:48] margaret, sorry, there's an "s" on /trailer :) [15:48] jrib, oh right [15:48] jrib, i looked on the wrong folder [15:48] I have firefox 3.0.8 installed on intrepid. I want to go back to 3.0.7 but that is not listed in the force-package list. Yet on another intrepid I have 3.0.7 installed and it indicates a 3.0.8 upgrade. Is there a way to force an install of a non-listed previous package? [15:49] ubottu: Well beasically the Volume Control is lost [15:49] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:49] How do i edit the package for the screen resolution from terminal?

I am coming from windows/ms-dos background and that is a very weird idea from that perspective. Thanks! [15:59] ubuser, if oss is working, yes [16:00] dougl: this is a major breakthrough for me lol. [16:00] How? ;) [16:00] NoobGuest, yes I used linux for a year befor someone spelled it out for me :) [16:00] NoobGuest, it was a major break thru for me too...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:03] Incarus I already explained it... [16:03] badluckmagnit, what is up?

[16:05] error 2, not found? [16:05] badluckmagnit: it seems to me you trying to boot the wrong device [16:05] dougl, i googled about error 2 and it's something about grub not installed on the wanted HD, but i only have one HD [16:05] digitaloktay, but it does print in firefox? [16:05] badluckmagnit: at least, I *think* [16:05] Incarus, I dunno = not found? [16:05] autobot50: Press Alt & then the tab number [16:05] dogule, dont know [16:05] dogule, i think so [16:06] Incarus : did ctrl alt f1 > killall Xorg then sudo sh nvidiadriver.run [16:06] badluckmagnit: ok, well, I'm not sure, but I need output of "blkid" command [16:06] autobot50: or Alt & Left/right arrow to cycle through the open tabs [16:06] Thanks DJones! [16:06] Incarus : didnt work still says x server runiing [16:06] badluckmagnit, how long ago did you install ubuntu and did you install anything else that would have over-written your ubuntu grub config?

[16:08] Would anyone happen to know why in Ubuntu 8.10 in the Terminal Server Client the VNC option is greyed out?

[16:09] badluckmagnit, ok then all you have to do is get your ubuntu to boot then do a 'sudo grub-install /dev/sda' and it will be fixed... [16:09] I can't seem to find a php5 GD2 package. Is it under a different name or just not available? [16:09] badluckmagnit, the problem is booting ubuntu [16:09] MrKeuner: the update manager handles that in ubuntu instead of synaptic [16:09] badluckmagnit: that seems ok [16:09] pookair, k, press ctrl+alt+F1, log in and enter "sudo killall -s KILL Xorg" and "sudo killall -s KILL gdm" (or kdm, if you use kubuntu) and then run the file again [16:10] kitche, OK, can I modify its options from the terminal? [16:10] badluckmagnit: did you try using "supergrubdisk" to get it working again? It's a great tool [16:10] dougl, i chrooted to my ubuntu installation from the live cd when i try grub-install /dev/sda i get this /dev/sda: Not found or not a block device. [16:10] MrKeuner: not sure [16:10] Ocean_, no... i will try to google it [16:11] badluckmagnit: see here http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [16:11] hm, jaunty, dont want me to start it [16:11] dougl: if you get a chance I sent you a pm [16:11] Incarus: #ubuntu+1 for jaunty support [16:11] kitche, i know, i dont fixed it [16:11] Ocean_, thanx i hope this work [16:11] Incarus : ok i will try [16:11] k [16:11] anyone have any experience with linux on an apple computer?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [16:12] NoobGuest, is best to ask in the channel, cuz then the people smarter than me can check my answer so...

[16:22] Hey all. If I play a ogg file with aplay it's all static if I play the same ogg file with mplayer is plays fine. [16:22] lantjie: you can resize partitions, so as long as you have enough free space you will be able to do that [16:22] clearscreen: because my swap is to small [16:23] Anyone know what aplay users that mplayer doesn't alsa or something? [16:23] Incarus: I have installed Opera but the site I use has a heavy Java requirement that opera fails to display. I have configured Opera with my local JRE (using info from the Opera website) but my site still does not load. It does not have the same login error as when using Firefox 3.0.8 but is still a showstopper. [16:23] clearscreen: oke thanx again [16:23] Can someone recommend some good iPod management software that isn't gtkpod? [16:23] Incarus, in youtube says that either i have javascript deactivated or an old version of flashplayer [16:23] C_Kode: aplay uses alasa (AlsaPlay) mplayer is probably using pulseaudio [16:24] Ropechoborra, ups, k [16:24] Hmmm. Figured it was something like that. [16:24] clearscreen: My bad, I did a "| grep " without -i and the Q in "quest" is uppercase. thx! [16:24] Ropechoborra, somewhere in firefox is a plugin menu [16:24] So the sounds issues are all alsa. :( [16:24] Joker_-_: you're welcome [16:24] , i dont know, i dont unse java [16:24] Incarus, yes, what pluggin should i add ?

[18:32] $gcc [18:32] try sudo-apt get update, then sudo-apt get upgrade seamonkey [18:32] #gcc [18:32] AusLoki: FileRoller (gnomes default archive manager) should be able to open ISO files [18:32] Kesman_: it boots from the cd but from what i see it doesnt even get past loading anything [18:33] yclian: what's wrong to me is that i cannot find any .deb file for the installation.. i've only tar.gz at disposition [18:33] and i do not know how to install it [18:33] ok so I'm having weird problem, wondering is anyone encountered this before. I have a mounted ntfs partition and it's owner is root and group is root. I tried using sudo chown -Rv /ntfs_partition and I get a confirmation that ownership is changed [18:33] Guest91575: what version of ubuntu? [18:33] except that when I check it with ls -la, it's still owned by root!\ [18:33] Kesman_: 8.10 i think [18:34] lake try chown usrname:usrnmae -R /ntfspartition [18:34] harlemdavvey: you might ask yourself if you really need that latest version. 1.1.15 is also not in jaunty (1.1.13 is) [18:34] Guest91575: desktop version? 32 or 64-bit? [18:34] ottertoast: so as to change owner and group at the same time ? [18:34] Kesman_: 32-bit [18:35] Guest91575: you could try burning it again on another cd, that's aöö I could think of :F [18:35] Lake, to change permissions for those files, i'm not sure how the context of that command is formed. i just know it's worked for me in the past [18:35] Guest91575: and download again [18:35] i did not know that.. but anyway ok... [18:35] i m using ubuntu 8.10 [18:35] and there is continuous disk activity on my laptop which is hp compaq 6735s [18:35] even if i do nothing still the disk light keeps blinking and activity is on.. what can i do to fix the problem [18:35] what about flock, is it good in linux? [18:35] Kesman_: ok, ill download it again. probably use torrent this time. thanks :( [18:35] malik_: disable indexing [18:36] ottertoast: hum all right thanks, I really doubt it'll work but thanks for the try :) [18:36] i looked for it and it was already disable [18:36] lake, sorry :) like i said that command has worked for me === mhiki is now known as mhiku [18:37] has anyone used guake terminal window? [18:37] hi all, I have ubuntu installed on a sony vaio laptop fx120. When I go to shut it down, the orange bar goes down until it is gone but the pc never completely turns off. I have acpi=off in boot parameters (cause that was the only way I could get the livecd to load up). Any suggestions? [18:38] yclian, keep in mind i have 3 interfaces in this box, eth0, eth1, eth2 - they are set up in /networking/interface.conf to have static ip's of .20 .21 .22 - i can get replys from all internal network clients and can resolve hostnames with 'host www.google.com' etc [18:38] Hi, say I download some streaming audio content but don't know the name / author of the tune.

I am unable to find files with the Bash command Locate: should not all files be there [in a database?] how come I can only 'locate' the ones in my own directory or /usr...? why cannot Locate give me the files in /media [for instance]? [18:39] hi guys === tester_ is now known as chaitan3 [18:39] Cyclist2→ Word of advice; keep the support request in the channel so others can benefit too! [18:40] Cyclist2→ And with regards to your question, it only updates its database when you tell it to. (sudo updatedb) [18:40] i was wondering what is the best application that is similiar to Remote Desktop on windows? I wanna remote control my windows server from ubuntu... [18:40] Shaye→ Applications → Internet → Remote Desktop Viewer. :) [18:41] MenZa is it just as good as remote desktop? (i don't have linux installed yet) [18:41] Anybody know of an application for ubuntu that can open .lif files? They're automaton files for Conway's Game of Life. [18:41] Shaye→ That depends what you mean by 'just as good' [18:41] Cyclist2, /media is not searched by default [18:42] Shaye→ I'm not sure if has RDP support, but you can easily install a VNC server on your Windows Server which it'll work fine with. [18:42] can anybody tell me how to install this http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Ubuntu+Sharp+Button?content=95194 [18:42] OK great, VNC client is available for linux? [18:42] Shaye→ It's installed by default. :) [18:42] Shaye→ (on Ubuntu, that is) [18:43] Hi, say I download some streaming audio content but don't know the name / author of the tune. Is there some plugin or application that will identify the title and author of the mp3 that I'm playing? [18:43] Great thanks. 1 more thing. should i get the 64 or 32 bit of ubuntu desktop? (i have 64bit processor with 4gb ram) === trevor is now known as trevorbastian [18:44] Shaye→ When I last tried 64-bit, it was a nono. That was 4 years ago, though, so it may have improved significantly. If you want the best software compatibilty, you're probably better off with 32-bit. [18:44] jjjj [18:45] tester_ i read a suggestion to put "apm=off no-hlt" so I am trying that [18:45] ok thanks for your help MenZa [18:45] Shaye→ Welcome. Have fun installing Ubuntu; we're here if you need further help. :) [18:45] MenZa: I have update it several times [without any error messages]; once or twice I even entered the root mode before updating the 'updatedb'; afterwards I got the same limited result... [18:45] tester_ this is also 8.04 [18:46] Cyclist2→ Hmm, someone said it didn't search /media/ by default. It's hacky, but, in /media, you could do `find . | grep -i ` [18:46] What is the easiest way to find the /dev address of my flash drive? [18:46] Harldy optimal, Cyclist2 :) [18:46] phuzion→ sudo fdisk -l [18:47] phuzion→ Should show the /dev addresses of all your connected storage drives. [18:47] chaitan3: would you know the necessary commands to have it enabled [searching /media]? [18:47] MenZa, thanks [18:47] whois RickX [18:47] rats. [18:47] phuzion→ Welcome.

In the mixer, the Master volume control does not affect the PCM volume. That is, if I mute sound, it does not mute PCM, if I turn down the main control, it does not turn down the PCM sound. I have to explicitly turn down the PCM channel. Since most [19:13] sound is PCM (even CD's that are read digitally), this is really annoying. Ideas?

[19:19] creator-cdsc: Ah, I see what you mean. Auto mounting, as far as I know, is a function of the Desktop environment and its helpers. There are probably some udev rules you can set up to mount upon plugging in, but that's beyon my knowledge level. [19:19] yeah [19:19] creator-cdsc mount command? [19:19] creator-cdsc: Easiest way I know of to list available partitions is 'cat /proc/partitions' [19:19] or dmesg | tail ? [19:20] who can setup an jack sound system?

[19:48] I downloaded Ubuntu 8.10, and I burned the iso to a DVD and then restarted my computer and on reboot it just does not recognize the CD. I did go in and change the boot order, so I know that is not it. Perhaps I am not rebooting from DVD or whatever properly [19:48] phuzion: so .tar.gz means double compressing it? [19:48] ok think ubottu [19:48] Nithrin: did you md5checksum the ISO? I guess not [19:48] What is that? Apparently not === Cyberworm is now known as Wurm|off [19:48] although i don't understand why ubuntu doesn't have the /etc/inittab file. [19:49] !md5sum | Nithrin [19:49] Nithrin: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [19:49] Sapta: because Ubuntu doesn't use inittab, maybe. [19:49] Nithrin, if the md5sum checks out, try burning your cd at a slower speed [19:49] what does ![something] | username mean? [19:49] creator-cdsc, tar is a container type (a big box to put your files in) and gzip is a compression algorithm that makes the container smaller.

It's runlevel concept is totally different. And i'm just starting linux [19:50] !tar | creator-cdsc [19:50] creator-cdsc: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [19:50] simon__: Canocial I should say [19:50] I'll try that. Thanks [19:50] Sapta: I thought Ubuntu uses same runlevels as Debian. [19:50] grawity: I now need a Ubuntu specific book [19:51] sebastien, i guess, but first there needs to be a utility that's windows friendly to check the md5sum of the iso [19:51] Nithrin: also 8.10 may not even work, on a rather old computer [19:51] grawity: Don't know about Debian === Zeeded is now known as Zeed|LOLAFK [19:51] if it's torrented, it's already checked [19:51] Nithrin: how old is your computer? how much RAM?

[19:52] Sapta: How does Ubuntu work with your keyboard? [19:52] grawity: any particular book you can recommend? or online resource? [19:52] sebsebseb, i mean directly on the ubuntu site a packaged md5sum, iso burner, and iso all in one [19:52] Nithrin: fine, although the touchpad went crazy [19:52] Nithrin: I have to check drivers for it [19:52] Sapta: Eh, I just use Google, Wikipedia and IRC :) === af_ is now known as Bman [19:53] simon__: they can link to md5summer.org and imgburn.com [19:53] imgburn \o/ [19:53] simon__: or ISO recorder even [19:53] phuzion: but when i have a .tar.gz file, if i say tar xvf [filename].tar.gz it still unzips the file [19:54] creator-cdsc: Yes.

[19:56] file-system i mean !? [19:56] phuzion, ok [19:56] simon__: ok on the page the bot gives they done something similar, and another program is used for the md5sum [19:57] I know this might not be relevant but any idea how DC++ hubs figure out whether you are connected to only one hub or multiple hubs? [19:57] Sapta: well there is the graphics card driver, and that's about it, unless you need to install a wireless driver say, your other hardware suppourt is already built into the kernel [19:57] !drivers [19:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about drivers [19:57] theDigitalAngel: I don't think it's possible to do that...

I must be doing something wrong [19:58] Sapta: not quite what your after, but system > administaration > hardware drivers [19:58] !gz [19:58] grawity: There are (intranet) hubs which will kick you if you are connected to some other hubs.

But nvidia site has this file at: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_180.44.html [20:00] creator-cdsc: if you mean chatting over a shell, then yes.. apps like bitchx [20:00] should I go for that one? [20:00] Sapta: only get directly from Nivida as a last resort, it's best to get from Ubuntu repo usualley [20:01] phuzion, there were some errors when I did sudo dhclient this is what appeared http://pastebin.com/m5cb4fce0 [20:01] clearscreen: yes, chatting over a shell, but i want it to connect to another computer over the LAN using ssh [20:01] Sapta: How did you reboot from DVD on your laptop?

[20:04] Nithrin: Did you burn it as data DVD? [20:04] Nithrin: oh 3GB RAM, there may be an issue, and then you get slowness [20:05] Why is 3 gigs of RAm an issue? [20:05] Nithrin: it might not effect you, but a guy that had a lap top with 3GB RAM, got slowness issue [20:05] whats the sudo apt get command for vmwarev? [20:05] whats the sudo apt get command for vmware? [20:05] Nithrin: well another reason to get the Live CD burnt, find out if the Live CD works rather slow or not [20:05] CrIp: sudo apt-get install vmware :P [20:05] sebsebseb: strange, should be the other way round [20:05] Sapta: indeed [20:06] I am going to try and boot now [20:06] Crip: make sure you have a repo that has it in it first [20:06] Sapta: that's why I coudn't belive it at first with that guy, when he was saying Ubuntu was so slow === patrick is now known as Guest51231 [20:06] sebsebseb: lol :D [20:06] help!!! everytime i plug or unplug my power on my laptop my desktop session seems to loose it... i have to alt+ctrl+fN to get my desktop to refresh and show me everything again [20:06] a repo OscarTgrouch ? === sirderigo-epg is now known as sirderigo [20:07] hi, I'm using 9.04 beta now, but pidgin takes 50% of my CPU with only one window open.. anybody has the same problem?

[20:14] Nithrin: you might have a bad install disk or image [20:14] The checksum thing worked or whatever. Could it still be a bad install disk? [20:14] Nithrin: Did you burn the iso as image or data? [20:14] hrmm so on the fdisk -l command i see that the drive is not there. [20:14] I just clicked on burn in xp...did not give me an option [20:14] I mean Vista [20:14] Nithrin: In the second case, it won't be a bootable disk [20:14] any way to update fdisk or what it is looking at [20:14] How do I make certain I burn it as an image and not data? [20:14] any MSN client for linux with msn plus??? [20:14] Nithrin: use a software like Nero burning ROM [20:15] ChotaZ: MSN Plus is not a good program [20:15] Nithrin: XP has the small but great Alex Feinamn or sth image burner [20:15] sebsebseb: Why's that, I liked it on windows ^^ [20:15] I upgraded to Intrepid and could not change display to anything better than 800 x 600 [20:15] hi. am using pidgin for msn. but I cant receive file from other. any plugin I have to install? [20:15] ChotaZ: even if you say no to the sponser program, you could get malicious program spyware or some such installed for it [20:15] does intrepid support 802.11n? [20:15] Nithrin: BurnISO is a free (opensource iirc) software wich does exactly that. [20:15] Nithrin: I think you made it a data DVD, hence it's not bootable. I hope you've the .iso image [20:15] tmbigrigg: paste your xorg.conf and share the link [20:15] !netsplit [20:15] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

Can anyone check if this solution is safe and okay : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=872153 [20:17] ChotaZ: and MSN plus was only made, since Live Messenger wasn't good enough in the first place. there are some resonable MSN alternatives for Linux [20:18] sebsebseb: Like amsn pidgin and emesene?

[20:18] sebsebseb: msn had msnplus like plugins, without the malicious software [20:18] ChotaZ: sure and Kmess, and Mercury Messenger which is closed source made by only one guy and you need Java for it [20:18] sebsebseb: I mean emesene* [20:18] feisty is 7.04 ?

Nivida or ATI?

[20:34] I'm trying to run the ruby-opengl examples, and it seems the desktop effects are interfering with the rendering. I see an occasional flicker of the running example, but it seems to be being overdrawn by the desktop. Disabling all desktop effects makes the openGL examples work.

I was in the middle of updating a couple of systems...ah well, guess I'll just wait [20:40] ohzie: like, ssh -X new1@somemachine.com [20:40] sebsebseb, nothing gets displayed there [20:40] neW1, I use ssh -Xl username host [20:40] deea: the card is new or old? I mean the type of card [20:40] neW1, Usually that works, but I had to reinstall ubuntu [20:41] neW1, which gave me a new sshd_config, and now it won't work [20:41] what are you trying to get to your screen? [20:41] sebsebseb, I really don't know [20:41] sebsebseb, it's not mine [20:41] neW1, Just pidgin and xchat. I use my workstation for games. =\ [20:42] deea: well the version of xorg in 8.04 is better with older graphics cards, than the version in 8.10 [20:42] wow 1515 peoples :| [20:42] ohzie: windows? [20:42] sebsebseb, could I downgrade it? [20:42] is xorg a package library [20:42] ? [20:42] deea: not without a clean install [20:42] neW1, Yes, I run cygwin on the laptop, and run X-forwarding from the ubuntu workstation [20:43] deea: however if you stick around longer, etc. someone may know how to get your card working in 8.10 [20:43] If I have a Makefile and .c file how can I compile? [20:43] make ? [20:43] deea: ,but to be honest 8.10 and 8.04 are not that differnet, plus 8.04 is suppourted longer than 8.10 [20:43] deea: since it's LTS [20:43] If the makefile is done correctly you just type "make" [20:43] !lts [20:43] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [20:43] and hit enter ;-) [20:43] the touchpad solution seems to be working for now :) whatever the theory behind it [20:43] neW1, This has always worked before, it's just broken since I've had to reinstall ubuntu, and then openssh-server. The new meta-package comes with a different-enough config file that just -X doesn't work by default, it seems. I never had to bother with the old one. [20:43] it just worked.

[20:46] ursus: make sure that first, you have the correct soundcard selected and second that all the microphone related settigns arent muted [20:46] deea: ok good luck, and if you decide to go 8.04 you should md5sum the ISO before burning it [20:46] !md5sum [20:46] To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [20:46] oh i see what you did thanks === atlas is now known as Guest64078 [20:46] i can't use what the man page says stat command do :( [20:46] I did it, but I do it again.

[20:47] ursus: to mute/unmute, press "m" [20:47] Joker_-_: i think vlc is only extracted at my home directory [20:47] ursus: ull see the toggle [20:47] why i can't just type stat %a ?????? :( [20:47] purvesh: I dont quite understand what you mean [20:47] :( [20:47] ohzie: also i'd reccomend trying this since i've used it and it works http://www.cs.caltech.edu/courses/cs11/misc/xwindows.html [20:48] purvesh: why do you go the hard route anyway? you could install vlc simply by typing: "sudo apt-get install vlc" [20:48] hi [20:48] hi :-) tux [20:48] neW1, so I stopped my ssh deamon, and my client is still connected.

[20:50] Joker_-_: be carefull with this one ;)) [20:50] neW1: nice... very nice [20:51] neW1: thx ;) [20:51] DawnLight: you don't change a seperate home partition into / [20:51] Joker_-_: np, just have to use the -u switch [20:51] What do you guys use in Ubuntu for music and for videos, including HD ? [20:51] :-o I look on the alsa panel, and the capture column was going down until 0 - I didnt press any key. [20:51] neW1: as in sudo killall -u root :D [20:51] I heard there's no "codec" in linux [20:51] sebsebseb: i don't understand you [20:51] DawnLight, : sounds bad idea [20:51] Joker_-_: something like that, yeah ;] [20:52] sebsebseb: cholisterix it either affects the files there or it doesn't [20:52] * neW1 afk [20:52] DawnLight: well I didn't quite understand you. and it's a good idea to have a /home partition instead of having it inside / [20:52] DawnLight, : if you install it on [20:52] joker_-_: thanx it work. do u know which is latest version emacs for 64bit ubuntu 8.10 [20:52] ohzie: pm me if you don't figure it out, i'll check it l8r [20:52] DawnLight, : it will destroy the files === Nalfeshnee is now known as Nalf [20:52] DawnLight, : it will ovewrite ALL files !!!!!!!!!

[20:53] because the adduser command doesn't, IIRC. [20:53] DawnLight, : yes don't touch it , just make a back up [20:53] DawnLight, : if you want the only thing you can do is [20:54] cholisterix: "/home/foo already exists, not creating home directory" or something like that [20:54] purvesh: again, you'll get it by doing an update (sudo apt-get update) then installing it (sudo apt-get install emacs) if the package is named anything else than emacs, try to learn to use the search function (apt-cache search something). You can also join a "| grep somethingelse" to narrow your selection as in: "apt-cache search something | grep somethingelse" [20:54] The new firefox plugin is seriously fucked up [20:54] DawnLight, : ok if you are not creating a /home directory it is fine [20:54] All my web pages show up basic.

I'm interested in learning X apps and such, I've got some experience with visual basic and lots of expereince with PHP, so any tips or ideas on a good language to learn? === Knives is now known as Guest82912 [21:05] HammerHead66, : no but you have to find it in a package [21:05] it has to be because of some deal they did [21:05] HammerHead66, : i have been through the same problem [21:05] oh, thanks... I completely forgot to look there lol >_< [21:05] cholisterix: what package? [21:06] HammerHead66, : but i download some developer files and flash was inside them ;) [21:06] I need help [21:06] I3lade: to scale down your resolution you will need to either edit you xorg.conf file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) or restart in safemode and set the resolution trough the settings. [21:06] I3lade: np good luck [21:06] HammerHead66, : a package from adobe website [21:06] is the server mode dose it supose to look like a dos [21:06] Joseph: The server install is command line only. [21:06] Joseph: thats commandline and yes [21:06] cholisterix: ok so what package was it? [21:07] Joseph: yes server install does not have any GUI [21:07] HammerHead66, : search adobe labs site for flash for linux and you will findit === TMARKEY is now known as eth01 [21:07] HammerHead66, : sorry i don [21:07] Joseph: although you could install a gui of some sort [21:07] GUI = memory hog, not good for production servers [21:07] HammerHead66, : remember:( === Raistlin1 is now known as Raistl|n [21:07] how do you set the info for a new irc channel?

I've followed the Sprint guide, posted to the Ubuntu forums, and searched the net till I'm sick of it. "#modprobe usbserial vendor= product=" does not work. [21:08] Joseph: Joker_-_ is right about that, if you want a GUI for it, I'd suggest not setting it to start on reboots [21:08] Something like ropemacs package. [21:09] HammerHead66, : in google type site: site.labsXXX.com "blablabla" ;) [21:09] cholisterix: ok [21:09] Joseph: also i'd look at a light weight desktop like XFCE4 instead of Gnome or KDE [21:09] HammerHead66, : ;) [21:09] cholisterix: ty [21:09] Joseph: I'd suggest xfce if you arent familliar with anything "smaller". [21:09] fluxbox, what! [21:09] my Matchine has a good spec [21:10] 4gb of ram intel pentium 4 pro.. [21:10] Joseph: maybe use google and look up X window managers and make an informed decision. [21:10] so what could i et that is userfreidl cos i have not time to learn of it and a good server that i can make games to it and even emails [21:11] Joseph: If you feel that you need a desktop install then you can install the ubuntu-desktop package. [21:11] hi all, I want to reinstall my system... so I'd like to transfer the repos... so I copied the etc/apt/sources , for the authentication keys what file do I need to save? [21:11] Joseph: I wouldnt recommand gnome nor KDE for a server as not only you wouldnt need much of what they offer, but they are also very veyr hungry on ressources... [21:11] Joseph: if you don't have time to learn something, why ask others to do work for you. If you don't want to take time to learn something, don't mess with it.

To be honest it sounds like you want a desktop setup with servers running in the background. Also as you seem very new to linux I'd be more concerned with you learning proper server configurations verus 'kool desktop plz' [21:14] wahnfrieden: lispers have fat pipes :P [21:14] Arcterex: edit xorg.conf as root and save it? [21:14] Pici: would that add for all the different repos? [21:14] I am asking this because I ran the pppoeconf command a number to times and now I think the /etc/ppp directory has lot of unnecessay files [21:14] Joker_-_: yea, it's there === sean is now known as Guest46914 [21:15] Ok that you serraphyn [21:15] Joker_-_: any idea where screen and graphics preferences is pulling it's info from? [21:15] Arcterex: so it's in xorg.conf but it doesnt "works" ? [21:15] Arcterex: xorg.conf ;) === Wurm|off is now known as Cyberworm [21:15] macvr: All the standard repos. [21:15] so are they just downloads that will run in the background when i install it [21:15] hi [21:15] Joker_-_: so you'd think, but seeing vesa generic in there, but have 'driver "intel"' in my xorg [21:15] anyone have the sierra wireless 598 working under 7.10 2.6.22-16-generic? [21:15] how can i identify my processor from /proc/cpuinfo [21:16] hi [21:16] is anywhere a list of processors models etc. [21:16] Arcterex: then I'd say there is a problem loading the driver... either a typo or something, check the logs? [21:16] hi [21:16] Joseph: what are you talking about? [21:16] Arcterex: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [21:16] i have alot of processes running on my system and i don't know what they're for, how can i know which processes to kill in order to reseve more space for applications iam using?

[21:17] Arcterex: then you've got your answer :) [21:17] on google you told me to google Windows managers for x [21:17] Ok, now I'm really confused... I looked at the article and everything, I tried rebooting in recovery mode, I've reset xorg, it works, but my resolution is still TOO BIG, if I make it smaller, it freaks out on me and refuses to fix itself [21:17] Pici:ok... thanks [21:17] Arcterex: deactivate "DRI" but you will loose Direct Rendering... [21:17] HammerHead66, : no not yet ;) [21:18] also, I can't find the window that lets me edit what my mointor is what I'm using for graphics [21:18] I've searched all up and down the systems menu and I can't find it... [21:18] Arcterex: version mismatch is, iirc, a problem between your kernel and the kernel driver you are trying to use... [21:18] hi, what could be the reason, that i cannot neither diff nor commitwith svn? [21:18] I3lade what graphicscard do you have? [21:18] Arcterex: or maybe a PEBKAC :P [21:18] Okeshi, onboard [21:19] Intel I think [21:19] and my monitor is a KDS XFlat [21:19] ati or nvidia?

[21:22] Serraphyn: lol true [21:22] it's not moved somewhere in some odd ubuntu specific config file somewhere :) [21:22] Arcterex: I dont remember what I did to correct the driver version mismatch btw... I had that trouble a few weeks ago on my media center... [21:22] I3lade: ewe, no available PCIE or AGP slot on Mobo? [21:22] Arcterex, that's right [21:22] Arcterex: I think I upgraded to jaunty ;) [21:22] killerboy, type less /proc/cpuinfo [21:23] That you all for helipng me and respect is given and blessed (May not make any sence ant all!) [21:23] Joker_-_: would the driver mismatch for dir muck up loading the non-generic driver? [21:23] Joseph: good luck [21:23] Serraphyn there's an AGP I think, but I don't have any cards laying around that fit, and I don't have any money for a good one [21:23] That you, sorry for wasteing your time [21:23] all I want to do is resize my resolution from 1080 to 1024 [21:23] Arcterex: probably, as the generic driver is probably compiled for the current kernel... [21:23] Joseph: not wasting time, just start using the howtos and you'll learn so much [21:24] good bye and good night [21:24] Arcterex: have you tryed de-installing / reinstalling the closed driver? [21:24] I3lade: Wide screen monitor? [21:24] Joker_-_: where's the closed driver from? [21:24] didn't realize there was one! [21:24] w30 i know, but i'd like to know if it's pentium or celeron [21:24] Arcterex: thats an ATI card right? [21:24] i need support with an issue related to a connection between my dv camera (XL2) and my ExpressCard... all set works with PCI Firewire, but it doesn't work with expresscard 2 FireWire Port.... from LINDY. Can anyone help me? [21:24] I do have kernel-restricted-drivers for my kernel [21:24] anyone have the sierra wireless 598 working under 7.10 2.6.22-16-generic? [21:24] Joker_-_: no, intel [21:24] sounds like a pentium [21:24] I3lade, check /etc/X11/xorg.conf and check what the resolution is set to in there [21:24] Serraphyn, er, not that I'm aware of... I mean, it's wide, but it's not like giant wide [21:24] oh ok thank for the tip i know i will print it and read it all at school in my english lesson :) [21:24] nado, oko... [21:24] *ok... [21:24] Arcterex: oh, I dont kno wmuch bout onboard cards... [21:25] well, the jaunty drivers didn't solve my problem... hmm [21:25] Joker_-_: nor I ;) nvidia/ati seem no prob, but this is a work laptop so I have to deal with what I have [21:25] nado: xorg.conf is no longer required to be populated for your display to work.

To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [21:25] Joker_-_: I dont know much about on board cards either.. all my crap is ATI [21:25] I3lade: wide screens can be 15" wide, ift he default monitor is 1080 then if you try to force it to 1024 it may cause the monitor to be out of sync and not allow X to display [21:25] Joker_-_: the pisser is compiz works fine with the livecd for both hardy and jaunty..... [21:26] Arcterex: then the default driver should work fine [21:26] Serraphyn I don't think it knows what kind of monitor it is though [21:26] Joker_-_: yea, I've read that, it's not a resolution problem, it works fine, I just want the compiz to work for me! [21:26] Doesn't matter, the monitor knows its own sync ranges [21:26] ah [21:26] Arcterex: if it works on the live-CD, it *should* work out of the box...

[21:27] Arcterex: have you fooled around with something between installing and now? Something related to drivers I mean... [21:27] nado I do [21:27] I3lade, and nothing in there ? [21:27] Arcterex: ok, so thats not a fresh install... [21:27] unr3a1: why not just install with apt? [21:28] but it just says either "default screen" or "configured monitor" [21:28] yo yo yo [21:28] and "configured video device" [21:28] I don't see anything about resolution [21:28] Joker_-_: not that I know of, it's been working so I have only done the normal upgrades. I had compiz turned off at one point and only noticed the error when I tried to turn it back on [21:28] I3lade, so you don't have a SubSection "Display" [21:28] display... nope [21:28] I3lade, can i pm you ? [21:28] sure [21:28] ah.... just found what might be the issue..... fglrx might be fighting with the intel driver [21:28] Serraphyn, because I need to compile from source to set my own custom resolution for the game.

In a terminal use "ifconfig", to find out what your IP address is, and try pinging something on the internet to see if you have DNS etc. [21:43] ortsvorsteher: depends on the app you use [21:43] ActionParsnip: evolution === TMKCodes is now known as Guest89620 [21:44] ortsvorsteher: ok then you need to research where evolution hides its email storage and make sure you get those on the stick [21:44] * ortsvorsteher is going for search mails ;) [21:44] ZykoticK9, ok i will try this. i have to review this system tomorrow and i am afraid i wont find the problem. what is the most probable reason? [21:44] <`Borg`> I have a friend who's using the latest ubuntu on a packard bell TM2 and he's from denmark using a denmark keyboard layout, but he can't get all his 3 symbols for his numbers working. is this just going to be a keymap change needed? [21:44] ortsvorsteher: evolution will backup and export all your email, accounts etc to a tar.gz file [21:45] twolane: how to do that? [21:45] echo_mirage, there is NO way to know. Best of luck. [21:45] anyone have the sierra wireless 598 working under 7.10 2.6.22-16-generic? [21:45] ZykoticK9, i guessed so. my first guess was that the driver for the wlan adapter does not fit exactely. but i wont be able to fix that. =/ [21:46] thank you anyway [21:46] where are the mozilla plugins kept? eg. mozilla mplayer [21:46] hi [21:46] ortsvorsteher: edit - backup [21:47] echo_mirage, if you have wireless connection at 80%, if you don't have DHCP working, or a valid IP address you would still not be able to surf the web. suggests a networking problem vs a wireless problem.

I have a netbook with a 1024 x 600 resolution. the game by default uses 1024x768. its too big for my screen [22:23] Can anyone direct me to a Rhythmnbox/Daap share channel?

[22:24] UX: what do you mean by "remotely" [22:24] margaret: the ~/.mozilla directory i think [22:24] unr3a1: have you checked their forum on their website, might be more info out there [22:24] UX: do you mean "from the computer"? [22:24] expresscard/34 problem... anyone can help me please? [22:24] epaphus: ??? the image has the same size as the entire hd you cvan not save it within itself unless you compress it... and either way you have to do that from a livecd and save the image to another disk [22:24] #/usr/share/app-install/desktop/ [22:24] UX: control your cellphone from your computer? [22:24] ?? [22:24] Joker_-_: yes from the computer to whereever they are. i can use the cellphone as if it's with me [22:24] I'm an idiot eSATA != SATA [22:24] Serraphyn, yea, I registered and made a post there. I will just have to wait to install [22:25] UX: oh, never eard of that... I didnt even tough it was possible... [22:25] Serraphyn, thanks for trying to help though [22:25] appreciate it [22:25] Joker_-_: i even could turn it on if it's off [22:25] Joker_-_: Seems a bit fishy to me looking for an app to 'remote' control cellphones.

[22:26] Joker_-_: I think it could get you in ALOT of hot water with FCC and other companies though. [22:26] Serraphyn, nah, its ok. its an obscure problem. thanks again === mchelen is now known as mikechelen [22:27] Joker_-_: i also can do that with any cellphone within range through bluetooth using bluesnarfer under linux. it comes with auditor [22:27] LjL nope [22:27] bluesnarfer hun... imma look into that [22:27] what is the command for the bot, is it !command ?

[22:32] margaret: http://tinyurl.com/cdbrla <-- take your pick [22:32] Ubuntu 8.04 [22:32] any ideas at all? [22:32] omer: i asked you a question, what are you up to? this channel is for Ubuntu support only, everything else is offtopic. [22:32] Dante123: How are you shutting down? ie terminal or gui? [22:32] UX: are you sure you are not talking about illegal software? [22:33] omer: this is not a channel for chat. try #defocus [22:33] oCean_: iam very sure. i do the same with cellphones on range through bluetooth under linux using bluesnarfer and it's very legal. [22:34] omer: NOT HERE [22:34] UX: I don't think accessing via bluetooth or any other method to a cellphone is legal and even if it is, the usage is to questionable to be really a 'supported' thing here. [22:35] hello everyone! [22:35] i'm familiar with setting up samba, but i've kinda run into an issue [22:35] my shared folder works wonderfully [22:35] anyone can log in and change files [22:35] except for the local user [22:35] !enter | josephnexus [22:35] josephnexus: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [22:35] firewire from expresscard not detected... any help? http://paste.ubuntu.com/140991/ [22:36] i have to run a sudo chmod 777 -R newfoldername [22:36] Can anyone help with audio trouble? === kane_ is now known as kane77 [22:36] Serraphyn: but when i bought my snoopware, it had a legal agreement that i had to agree too other wise, if misused, my warranty is void and iam put to official intorregation. So there must be the same application under linux [22:36] ok so one of the three installed is at /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/kaffeineplugin.so [22:36] if I want to be able to access that file from the local user... i looked through smb.conf but I can't see the problem in there, since there is no section definition for my share.... how does gnome set up the shares automatically? [22:36] josephnexus: are you mounting them as root user or someoen else [22:37] they are connected to as the guest user [22:37] so the files show up as being owned by "nobody" [22:37] Serraphyn: on the other side metasploit framework is part of my backtrack cd, and it can be used in the most horrible way, so usage is not the problem in here the problem is availability === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [22:37] Can anyone help with flash audio problems? Or direct me to a room that can? [22:37] and normally i would change the smb.conf definition of the share... but apparently adding the share via gnome doesn't actually modify the smb.conf file... and unfortunately, that's the only way I know how to do it [22:38] powertower: what's the problem that you are having? [22:38] josephnexus : audio works everywhere except flash, I googled and googled but no forum solution worked for me [22:38] powertower: amd64? [22:38] you on 64 bit? [22:39] 32bit [22:39] what version of ubuntu? [22:39] 8.04? [22:39] 8.04 [22:39] yeah [22:39] hey everybody! how to download a "scm" project, given the url? [22:39] i moved to 8.10 and that solved my problem, but I dont know if that would resolve it for you [22:39] dell 1450 wifi is a bit slow on ubuntu [22:39] progre55: try wget? [22:39] also [22:39] hi together, I've Problems with my "Hibernate"-Mode. (Since I use the german version, I don't know if thats the correct term). When I initiate it, this small password window in the middle appears, but It doesn't listen to the keyboard. any suggestions? [22:39] Updates or new OS install? [22:40] Dell 1450 usb not working at distance of about 10 meters [22:40] (cuts out) [22:40] UX: can you explain again what you want to do for me? i might not be able to help you, but i have done some stuff related to gsm location [22:40] serraphyn... any ideas where gnome sets the permissions for shares and how the create permissions and such are? [22:40] slade6051, there is a command, called scm, but dont know how to use it ) [22:40] progre55: try man scm [22:41] slade6051, good advice :) let me try it.. [22:41] slade6051 gui for shutdown [22:41] josephnexus: http://tinyurl.com/dz2j82 [22:41] progre55: I don't have that one installed on this box but that's atleast a good direction [22:41] Dante123: try typing 'sudo shutdown -h now' [22:41] josephnexus : I do have the latest ISO, will try it I guess, hate to loose my dual display config, it was hard to get working [22:42] powertower: what video card? [22:42] 3870 [22:42] ATI? [22:42] yeah' [22:42] radeon? [22:42] yeah [22:42] LjL: well iam studying here in the US and my family is back in Australia, so i used to sent them pics of me and stuff and help them fix their cellphones remotely so we can keep in touch easily plus. sometimes i need to send some pictures to my roomate when we're doing some maintenance over large areas over to his pda. [22:42] Yeah I can't help you there I avoid ATI like the plague === Voltaire is now known as Guest290342 [22:42] serraphyn... i've already set up the samba shares... i'm trying to use the gnome method (right click... go to sharing... mark for sharing... etc.) I alredy know how to modify smb.conf . The trouble is, when I edit the share in gnome, I can't see where it is making the changes... I've already googled [22:43] powertower... 8.10 includes a tool to set up dual screens on ati [22:43] i've had good luck with it [22:43] made it a lot easier [22:43] Serraphyn: will probably avoid in the future, it just plays my games better in windblowz [22:43] powertower: really? I found my nvidia out performed all ATI cards I could find of comp stats in windows even [22:44] powertower: Actually, ATI/AMD is working on open-source drivers. If supporting open-source is your thing, I recommend buying their cards. [22:44] powertower: just make sure that you let ATI/AMD know that is why you bought it [22:44] if you decide to go that route [22:44] hi guys :) [22:44] hi_guys [22:44] :-P [22:44] josephnexus: burning 8.10 to CD now [22:44] hello [22:44] hi [22:45] anyways, I'm off, my question from 4 hours ago seems not really answerable here after all I guess... *afk* I guess [22:45] excuse me, i've got a question for ATI users [22:45] powertower: why not run an update from online? [22:45] what was ur question? [22:45] serraphyn? [22:45] LjL: so what type of GSM work were you doing? [22:45] powertower: Or use the alternate install disk for an update [22:45] maybe I can help ya [22:45] slade6051: this can be done? [22:45] ive set up a dhcp server using multiple howtos on the web and it is still not working [22:45] is your TV-Out working with the beta fglrx drivers and jaunty 64bits ? [22:45] i just cant pass throug this router [22:45] powertower: yes gimme a sec and I'll get you a good link [22:45] * josephnexus has not jumped to jaunty yet [22:45] slade6051: Just using Update Manager? [22:45] ok [22:46] UX: gsm *location*. not really work, just tinkered with it... basically positioning without GPS but only the cell towers [22:46] powertower: Indeed. You just need to enable a few things in Software Sources [22:46] ive set up dhcp, nat and dns server [22:46] can do [22:46] UX: i was under the impression you were after something similar but i guess not? [22:46] Just looking at doing software development for X and was wondering what language people would recommend. I know some older things or web scripting but nothing current [22:46] I've got a new Radeon4850 and I can't use my tv-out :( [22:46] Serraphyn: C [22:46] hi what should i write in fstab? i have 80 gig ntfs disk i want to be automatic mounted [22:46] LjL: so you could locate cellphones remotely? [22:47] it to be* [22:47] Guys, I have a dillema. I have a Windows box and a Ubuntu box at my disposal. I have an HFS+ SATA drive connected to Ubuntu box with data on it and files larger than 10GB. I also have an unformatted USB External Drive that is the same model as the first SATA drive. I need to make a clone of that USB drive. What the heck do I do if I don't have a mac? [22:47] slade6051, I dont think that's the right command :) anyways, dont you know how to download this type of a link? scm:svn:https://archive-crawler.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/archive-crawler/trunk/heritrix2 [22:47] moroten: use an existing line and change the type to "ntfs-3g" [22:47] hi_guys: jaunty discussions/issues go in #ubuntu+1 channel [22:47] UX: no, i only did it on the cellphone itself - i.e. i use my cellphone to know where i am (with a map loaded on it) [22:47] Kirill_: Clone preserving file system ? [22:47] powertower: Go to system, admin, software sources, under the "updates" tab, at the bottom change it to normal releases and run update manager's check [22:47] thx [22:47] moroten: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions#Editing%20Ubuntu%27s%20filesystem%20table [22:47] LjL: i see [22:47] UX: locating it *remotely* is possibly with some S60 programs (i have an S60 phone) [22:47] UX: but i've never really done that [22:47] unfortunately, the results from the search you sent me serraphyn only show me things I already know... [22:47] josephnexus: sorry [22:48] but where the gnome samba configuration is actually making changes still remains a mystery... It's ok... [22:48] Guest290342 -> that's what i'm googling for right now, thanks [22:48] oCean_: ok, thank you [22:48] progre55: in a terminal, try throwing wget infront of it [22:48] Kirill_: If you want to preserve the file system, you can try clonezilla or just use dd [22:48] Guest290342 -> but dd doesn't format the drive, does it? [22:49] how can I configure my network so that my dhcpserver will automatically give the dns server address that he got from my ISP ? [22:49] hi.. [22:49] please [22:49] Kirill_: Well no, but I believe you can just dd if=/path/to/disk1 of=/path/to/disk2 [22:49] my wireless device works.. with ubuntu.. but only when close to the radio. [22:49] can some please tell me how to point firefox to the gstreamer plugin to play this file http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/fastandfurious/ any HD movie... I go to preferences in firefox then to applications then to other in the drop down and I dont know where to point in on my hard drive [22:49] aranyik: what are you using for a dhcp server? [22:49] slade6051, okay, let me wget it recursively ) [22:49] aranyik: thats dynamic dns server update [22:49] UX: what sort of cellphone do you have anyway? i *suppose* there might be VNC servers for S60 [22:49] aranyik: it would be far easier to setup a forwarding dns server on your router [22:49] UX: actually, there probably are [22:49] aranyik: thats a reasonable task to setup [22:50] Guest290342 -> well I would do that but the unformatted drive is only showing that it has 4 megabytes of space on it and its supposed to have 500gb [22:50] slade6051: It's going TY....Hope this will resolve my issues [22:50] Kirill_: Well, I don't mean to sound naive or to annoy you, but have you tried? [22:50] slade6051, : I am setting up a local network and i want to isolate it from internet with a this firewall router made of ubuntus [22:50] powertower: good luck [22:50] Guest290342 lol I'm trying right now and i really appreciate the help :) [22:51] aranyik: I would take the other guy's suggestions, I'm not terribly good with firewalling/dns's [22:51] slade6051 will try that "sudo shutdown -h now" hang on [22:51] Kirill_: Clonezilla is a livecd for making copies of hard drives as well. I don't know if it supports hfs though. [22:51] LjL: well it there's alot of ways to remote into mine because it's a very advanced one but my family are using average ones. mine is an HP ipaq [22:51] slade6051, nope, doesnt work )) it's downloading it as a webpage.. [22:51] Question: I recently installed ubuntu8.10 on my Lenovo s10e netbook and I've found that many windows are below the bottom panel. Its very inconvenient. The resolution is 1024x576. is there a way to get set the windows to show completely al the time? [22:51] progre55: send the link once more [22:51] Guest290342: Clonezilla is fantastic, use everyday! [22:52] slade6051, scm:svn:https://archive-crawler.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/archive-crawler/trunk/heritrix2 [22:52] Tardis3003: Umm, well, using a setup designed for the screen size is nice. The Ubuntu Notebook Remix is satisfactory. [22:52] hello [22:52] i have an eeepc and i want do do vlogs with it [22:52] i use the eeexubuntu [22:53] how much space does ubuntu take? [22:53] hybr1der: Depends on what you install. [22:53] Slart, i need to assign IPs to the computer in my network and they need to have the DNS server adress...so i must install a dynamic dns server in addition to the dhcp3? (I already installed ipmasq and dnsmasq) [22:53] i've seen the netbook remix and it doesnt look like something i'm looking for. I'm ussed to ubuntu and would like to continue using it. any other ideas? [22:53] aranyik: doesn't dnsmasw take care of it? [22:54] Tardis3003: Making good use of alt+click [22:54] slade6051 sudo shutdown -h now has the same effect- system seems to shutdown but screen with ubuntu and black bar remains. [22:54] Dante123: Yank the power cord? [22:55] Slart, oh i see...dnsmasq is offering dhcp server service! [22:55] yes that works sometimes. but other times, the windows will not resize and thus i can not pull it up enough [22:55] UX: well i have no idea how one could control "normal" ones that aren't smartphones - i didn't think it would be possible at all [22:55] my regular install takes 17,2 GB [22:55] Andre_Re: I don't think the eee versions are suppourted here. try #eeepc === SkG is now known as [SkG] [22:55] progre55: be a moment had to apt-get install subversion [22:55] slade6051, yeah, I've already installed svn [22:55] Dante123: any errors or anything flagged as [failed]? [22:56] is it a normal size? [22:56] slade6051, but how to checkout from svn? ) [22:56] Tardis3003: That's part of using GNOME. I had the same problem on a screen with two very large panels once. There's nothing you can do except use the keyboard & take a short in the dark (tab+enter) [22:56] LjL: i used to do that with snoopware under windows but not sure how under linux. if you're interested get a windows box and buy snoopware you'll be able to do anything for cellphones. you could even turn the mic on and listen to conversations while no call is on progress [22:56] progre55: and you have scm installed aswell, right? [22:56] okay. thanks for your help i'll play around with it and get used to it:) [22:56] Guest290342 -> it says only 10 megabytes left or something like that [22:57] where can I post a snapshot of my desktop to show what I mean? [22:57] I'm going to go try clonezilla [22:57] slade6051 not sure where to look (other than on the screen the last messages I see have to do with network-mangler [22:57] hybr1der: a clean install of Ubuntu will be about 1GB. and Linux programs do not take up that much space. and so if you haven't installed yet. about 16gb for / and do a seperate home partition. and a swap [22:57] slade6051, yeah [22:57] !paste | margaret [22:57] margaret: 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) [22:57] Kirill_: Go for it. Or you could use a mac & dd.. [22:57] ortsvorsteher: you can use pastebin for pictures [22:58] hey does anybody know shy i can't enter to #C++? [22:58] Yeah, I don't have a mac though :( [22:58] asdlsdl: Banned?

[22:58] Kirill_: I wonder if anyone out there has created a driver for it. [22:58] progre55: I'm not sure on this one, mine gave me some funky results [22:59] if I type /j c++ it goes to overflow [22:59] hybr1der: Drive-makers classify 1tb as 10000000000 bytes === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [22:59] hybr1der: check space with sudo fdsik -l [22:59] slade6051, okay, never mind :) thanks for the attention, though :) appreciate [22:59] hybr1der: Operating systems as 2^ the whatever [22:59] asdlsdl: (your answer is: you're not registered, and that channel is registered-only) [22:59] Dante123: try pressing ctrl + alt +f4 and login, then try sudo shutdown -h now it will allow you to see any errors [22:59] !register > asdlsdl (asdlsdl, see the private message from ubottu) [22:59] Krill_: what are you trying to do? Mount a mac volume? [22:59] progre55: sorry, wish I could help more, but svn isn't my strong point [23:00] slade6051, no problem [23:00] hybr1der: one fact is the difference gb ~ mb, the other is that the label i soften rounded [23:00] powertower: He's trying to copy an hfs+ file system & contents to an identical disk w/out a make [23:00] is* [23:00] powertower: mac** [23:01] I've forgotten how to kill a process with Top. [23:01] Slart, does dnsmasq handle dynamic DHCP? [23:01] is there a system file that i can look into see , whether i am doing a 16 bit or a 24 bit display? [23:01] Guest290342: full disk to disk copy including mbr? [23:02] powertower: I don't know all the details, but I believe so. [23:02] powertower: I think its just data actually. No OS [23:02] Guest290342: he can just use "dd" command [23:02] powertower: Ask Kirill_ [23:02] man dd [23:02] According to top, opera continues to use approx 90% of CPU, even after I killed the window. How do I get rid of it now? [23:02] powertower: I told Kirill_to use that first. Said it failed. [23:02] dd don't care about file system type [23:03] its sector by sector [23:03] powertower -> my New HD has 5 megabytes of space on it b/c it's not formatted [23:03] arkanabar: ps aux | grep Opera && kill [23:03] sv_osusr3:might try /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:03] slade6051 it goes by so fast- would there be a log file to look at somewhere === asdlsdl is now known as Smashing === Smashing is now known as SmashingX [23:04] I need to make the one in the circle look like the one above it http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/9276/snapshot1k.png [23:04] Dante123: oh yeah. duh, /var/logs/message [23:04] powertower: Yup.
