[00:00] Kir [00:00] Kirill_, haha whats up, what are u trying to do? [00:00] can someone point me in a direction where I can see what the options in the live disk boot menu mean? [00:00] Kirill_: did you try gparted? [00:00] Not yet [00:00] syockit: if you want a file browser for terminal use Midnight commander [00:00] LapTirma, i tried gparted, its not really all to be what it looks to be :/ [00:00] !info mc | syockit [00:00] syockit: mc (source: mc): midnight commander - a powerful file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 2:4.6.2~git20080311-2 (intrepid), package size 2085 kB, installed size 6256 kB [00:01] Has anyone ever had problems where the X server doesn't allow full resolution and color depth if a system is unable to pull an IP address? Or does this sound like a misdiagnosis? I think it may be due to the connection to the monitor. Is there a way to check X error logs to find the cause? [00:01] ugh, i need to clean my room :( [00:01] tacoma949 -> I have a 500GB SATA drive formatted into Journaled HFS+ and filled with 316GB of data. I have a newly purchased unformatted 1000GB External USB drive with 0 data on it and showing 5 megabytes of free space. [00:02] sonink, how old is the monitor, lol [00:02] tacoma949 -> I need to move 316GB worth of data to 1000GB drive and have it readable by a Mac. Files are larger than 10GB [00:02] I have Ubuntu, WinXP, Vista, Clonezilla and bootable flash drive at my disposal [00:03] Kirill_, have u tried formating the drive yet? or is that where your stuck? [00:03] sonink: iop resolvinc and the x-system don't rely on each other [00:03] ip* [00:03] in windows i bridged my wireless and wired connections allowing my xbox 360 to connect to the internet through my laptop. is it possible to do this in ubuntu? my wireless card seems to be working fine in ubuntu so far so drivers should not be a problem [00:03] tacoma949 -> That's where I'm stuck :( And even if I manage to format it, I don't think I can WRITE to it [00:03] !ics | solusdelgar1 [00:03] solusdelgar1: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [00:04] solusdelgar1: possible, yes [00:04] Kirill_, because you think the drive is bad or just doing something wrong? [00:04] well, cant u format it with osx filesystem? [00:04] thanks [00:04] tacoma, the monitor is a relatively new Dell LCD, but the system in question is one of two PC's connected to a Belkin 2-way KVM, which I think may be causing the problem. [00:04] tacoma949 -> The drive was external in the past. I ripped it out of the chassis when it died. It seems to be working but is making clicking noises. I don't know how much longer it will last [00:04] i love this channel [00:04] cptblood: see man mkfs for available filesystems [00:04] and use macdisk in windows to write to the disk === edgex-[a] is now known as edgex === shivam is now known as Shivam [00:04] cptblood -> Don't have an apple computer anywhere :( [00:05] well, if u format the 1tb drive with ntfs, u can read from that in osx or whatever [00:05] cptblood -> Can you? [00:05] writing outside windows is harder tho [00:05] yes [00:05] dasEi, I didn't think they were dependent either but my boss thinks they are for some reason. I think it might just be a coincidence that the box isn't pulling an IP [00:05] Kirill_, k, old trick, start light then u can go harder on it but a nice tap on the table with it will stop the clicking [00:05] osx/linux can read from ntfs, writing is harder [00:05] yeah, my client will have no way of working with files then b/c this will be his only large storage [00:06] tacoma949 -> so far all the files open up fine [00:06] sonink: again, the xserver is not dependant from networking [00:06] well, cant u use you client's hw to format it to hfs? [00:06] Kirill_, once you get the transfer going it will hit spots that will make it click [00:06] He's kind of far away... [00:07] how's he gonna utilize it then? [00:07] Thanks tacoma949, I'll keep that in mind [00:07] Kirill_, transfer like 20 to 50 gigs at a time so your always making positive progress to saving all the data [00:07] Well he will take it back and hook it up to his Mac and give me money lol [00:07] HEy guys. Im tryring to reinstall ubuntu but for some reason I cant boot from my only dvd-drive i have which is USB. I even disabled booting from hard drives, set usb-cdrom to first boot device... went directly to the boot menu and selected usb-cdrom and nothing it simply wont boot. what can i do ? Thanks. Ps i have a gigabyte EP45-UD3R [00:07] balls [00:07] Hi everyone [00:07] sethm13, yo [00:07] What's going on? [00:07] otherwise, format with fat32 and split files at 4gb ;) [00:08] hello! [00:08] gparted can format to hfs+ i think [00:08] slerder, can u pull it out of its ubs sleve? [00:08] Ok, I was wondering if anyone in here would be able to help me out. I'm having a problem with WINE [00:08] Hey LapTirma! the acpi off helped me load up ubuntu again, thanks alot! [00:08] !ask | sethm13 [00:08] sethm13: 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. :-) [00:08] I'm trying to install libpcap-dev, it apt-get gets to 'Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com' and stalls, Hints? [00:08] Oh, ok. Sorry about that. [00:09] sethm13, sure, i hate when they do that ask! thing lol, whatsup [00:09] mibdavid: YRW. If you want to boot to windows, you may to play with grub. Google it. Plenty of infor [00:09] Rabbitbunny: archive.ubuntu.com is currently down, wait a couple of minutes [00:09] LjL: Oh. Thanks. [00:10] cptblood: I think ntfs will best for your propose [00:10] Rabbitbunny: actually, it seems back up already - try now [00:10] not me wh's got a problem, it's Kirill_ [00:10] :D [00:10] Well, I'm having a problem trying to copy files into the C: directory for WINE. I can't seem to find the WINE folder. I go to my home folder, but there's no sign of .wine and I can't seem to find it elsewhere. Anybody have any ideas? [00:10] LjL: ...So... you have a switch for the servers eh? [00:10] DasEi -> Will my client be able to open it and write to it on his MacOSX though.... [00:11] Rabbitbunny: eh? [00:11] sethm13: It's hidden, right click, "show hidden" [00:11] sethm13: .wine is a hidden folder [00:11] LjL: Worked perfectly, Thanks [00:11] Oh. Wow. Thank you :) [00:11] Kirill_: ntfs ? yes [00:11] DasEi: any idea if or how the KVM connection could be causing the problem? I think a direct connection to the monitor has solved the problem in the past. Does X have error logs I could check for hints? [00:11] sethm13, when ever there is a . in front of a file its linux's way of hiding a file [00:11] Oh, yup. There it is. Thanks for the help everyone [00:11] sethm13, its there, just unhide :) [00:12] Oh. That's good to know [00:12] sethm13, welcome [00:12] DasEi -> Sorry, I am just confused because I saw in some places that it could not [00:13] sonink: kvm might be, check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors (KVM on), or do a customized xorg.conf, that overrides the (false) detection of kvm [00:13] tacoma949, well..there are better ways to hide files and directories }:) [00:14] DasEi: okay. I'll check that out. Thanks [00:14] exit [00:16] mrwes, haha, very true, im mexican so i do it the cheep way [00:16] tacoma949, ahh..I love Negro Especialle [00:17] :) [00:17] when does 9.04 come ? is the date known? [00:17] mrwes, fosho [00:17] erUSUL: holy tuna, this thing's powerful! why didn't I come across this sooner? thanks for telling! [00:17] Kirill_: ntfs is fully supported by ubuntu, for mac there is a tool from paragon for full write-access [00:17] 24 days [00:17] 23 [00:17] I have a new ibm thinkpad x200 with a core2 and 4gb of ram. I recently installed ubuntu, but only 2.9gb of ram is visible. somebody suggested to me that I should try to install the 64 bit version to make use of all the ram. What should I do? [00:17] sbt:did you install 32 bit ? [00:17] did* [00:18] sbt, go 64 [00:18] is it known if 9.04 will correct the bug with microphone of 8.10? That we can't make it work? [00:18] DasEi -> thanks but i have to assume the user of this drive is technically illeterate. My plan now is to format the drive in hfs+ using gparted and then use clonezilla to clone the drive [00:18] hi...i want to make a bootable usb flash with linux...i have tried about 6-7 how to's but my usb never boot...i found this http://www.pendrivelinux.com/install-a-new-mbr-to-your-usb-flash-device/ and i think that is the answer in my problem since my usb is Kingston Data Traveler 4GB...but the tutorial is for ubuntu...can anyone tell me what to do at openSUSE? [00:18] Kirill_, bad choice [00:19] how do you stop kile from loading the splash screen? [00:19] tacoma949: I thought core2 was a 32bit proc. will it work automatically with 64 bit? [00:19] Kirill_: if the files arent too big, fat32 is another offer (no additional drivers) [00:19] sbt: install 64 bit [00:19] ram > sbt [00:19] sbt, ya just g 64 [00:19] !ram > sbt [00:19] sbt, please see my private message [00:19] ok thanks for the info [00:20] go* i mean [00:20] Hey! I'm familiar with using commands like "dropdownmenu" in Compiz (accessibility>Opacity, brightness and saturation>Opacity), and I've sued it to make my menus and Gnome panels transparent. However, does anyone know the command to make the Calendar, which drops down below the clock, transparent? [00:20] tacoma949 -> Whyy? [00:20] DasEi -> The files are 10GB+ [00:21] ChoboMog, it looks cool but ull get tired of it in t-10hrs and just go right back to no transparent lol [00:21] Kirill_: I see, sorry for me having no apple [00:21] ask('vas'); [00:21] Kirill_, because u said ur drive was clicking before === Nalf|AFK is now known as Nalf [00:23] Kirill_, how important is ur data to u? can u live without it or do u sleep with it at night? [00:23] tacoma949 -> I actually hear no clicking noises. That was a second hand account from my client [00:23] It's important :P [00:23] Kirill_, what do u mean, the drive never clicked on u? o then clone it [00:24] tacoma949, lol Yeah I know some transparencies can get annoying after a while, but I was hoping to give it a try. I actually have my other menus' values set to like 90%, so they're only slightly transparent anyway. I was just hoping to do the same for the calendar to make it look more unified. [00:24] tacoma949, with dd ? [00:24] does Samba listen to all NIC cards by default ? [00:24] mrwes, que? [00:24] Mean_Admin:nope, you configure it in smb.conf by ip [00:24] tacoma949, clone the drive with dd ? [00:25] Anybody able to give me a hand with a NIC issue? It's a gigabit NIC, lspci shows it as gigabit, but it links up as 100 megabit and transfers only go about 11 megabytes/sec instead of the usual 50 [00:25] DasEi: all right thanks [00:25] mrwes, no, he said earlier that his drive was clicking then he was gonna clone it, but turns out that wasent what he ment [00:25] Huufarted: what says ifconfig ? === BadHorsi1 is now known as BadHorsie [00:26] DasEi: stand by a sec, please. [00:26] =D [00:26] hey guys )= [00:26] !jaunty | Ax3 [00:26] Ax3, please see my private message [00:26] DasE1, You set the smbusers in the smb.conf -- that's new to me [00:27] DasEi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/141057/ It's eth1 [00:27] DasEi: ifconfig doesn't display link speed as far as I know, though. [00:28] Enter text here...oi [00:28] sou brasileira [00:29] oi [00:29] test/quit [00:29] ola [00:29] DasEi: sorry. Did you respond? Tried re-negotiating link speed. Still gave me 100 mbit, though. [00:30] Hi! If I want to restore ALSA, PulseAudio, and Bluetooth packages to the initial state when Ubuntu Hardy is first installed, is there a specific dpkg-reconfigure command that I can run? [00:30] Huufarted, did you add the smbuser? [00:30] Huufarted: I'm just looking, had that option on an item 2 weeks ago, moment [00:30] mrwes: elaborate please? [00:31] Huufarted, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba << pretty straight forward [00:32] mrwes, I apologize but I don't have any issues with Samba. [00:32] mrwes: I think you saw someone else's question, not mine. [00:32] Hi. I'm using Ubuntu Studio Edition. I recently purchased a new flat screen monitor-- It is capable of DVI and VGA inputs. Would I be able to tell a difference if I put in a DVI capable video card and used that instead of my current VGA card? [00:32] Huufarted, hrmm... sorry my bad :) [00:32] mrwes, I'll let it slide this time. ;P [00:33] Joeseph: do you see pixels bleeding into each other with the VGA? [00:33] Huufarted, no sleep + work = mistakes [00:33] heh [00:33] haha [00:33] anyone have a GeForce 8200 on-board? how is the Ubuntu support and performance? [00:33] Huufarted, type iwconfig [00:33] I have a quick question. I want to open a program from the command line but be able to close the terminal window without closing the program. for instance, gedit. how do I do that? [00:33] nado, it's not wireless. gigabit can't be wireless (with current technology) [00:33] ianm_: Not really... Of course, this monitor is leaps and bounds ahead of the old CRT I had. [00:33] Huufarted, oh my bad [00:34] Huufarted, then install ethtool [00:34] karasuman, use screen [00:34] Joeseph: my guess is it would be better, but perhaps not in an important way [00:34] !screen | karasuman [00:34] karasuman: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [00:35] I've used that, but it's still a little more clutter than I was hoping for. :-/ Is there no way to unassociate a program from the shell if you opened it from the shell? [00:35] karasuman: well, for starters, you could always start it with Alt+F2 instead... anyway, nohup program & [00:35] mrwes: isn't screen a bit overkill? [00:35] ianm_: Alright. I have a DVI card somewhere around here.... but it was giving me trouble before... I'll give it another try though. Thanks. [00:35] hi i got a question if anyone has the time [00:35] LjL, yah I guess so :) [00:35] sudo ethtool -s eth1 speed 1000, Huufarted [00:35] Huufarted, then check this out : http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-change-the-speed-and-duplex-settings-of-an-ethernet-card/ [00:35] !ask | stevea_ [00:35] stevea_: 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. :-) [00:35] ok after a lot of google-ing i have failed to find a reason or even anyone else comment on this - anybody able to help me with this? ventrilo (voip) is giving me very loud upper-tones and no lowertones aswell some slight distortion on a codec/server that works fine on windows. im using alsa right now - also any command i use involving pulseaudio "fails to parse" - ill keep lookn but if anyone has any help they can offer? [00:35] thank you, LjL, that's what I wanted. :) [00:35] nado, thanks. :) Checking that out now [00:36] LjL, guess it depends on the process he wants to run [00:36] mrwes: well he did mention gedit [00:36] I'm a she [00:36] heh...pretty demanding process no? :) [00:36] I just want to run octave and open new files as I need them without... clicking. I don't know. :) [00:37] mrwes: err, what does gemanding have to do with it? [00:37] LjL, it was a joke :( [00:37] bad one === Huufarte1 is now known as Huufarted [00:37] anyone use mt-daap or firefly? [00:37] arrrghhh, I do [00:37] wtf [00:37] gparted crashed on me! [00:37] mrwes, did you install it from the repo's? [00:38] arrrghhh, yes [00:38] thanks again for the help, mrwes and LjL [00:38] Out of curiosity, does anyone know if Rhythmbox is planning on supporting transferring video to and from your ipod anytime soon? I'm getting frustrated having to use something else to transfer video. [00:38] ok i,m new to ubuntu i got it installed in windows xp and then boot to this on startup i was wanting to install this program by it self but i,m afraid it will not setup my video drivers and other drivers does anyone know if it will or will i have trouble with it if i do that? [00:39] mrwes, mine fails, it runs for like 2 seconds and tells me it can't add a file... i was trying to compile a nightly (or something newer) and i can't resolve the dependencies... [00:39] anybody in here using VPN to work? [00:39] stevea_: little hard to follow, you want to use wubi ? [00:39] arrrghhh, hrmm..well the repo version runs just fine, try that one and then edit the /etc/mt-daapd.conf file [00:39] Let me rephrase, anybody in here able to connect to Juniper VPN using Ubuntu? [00:40] did anyone read that? [00:40] mrwes, i did, it runs for 2 secs and if i check my syslog it says it can't add 1 file. it seemingly "crashes" after that, as it's no longer running. [00:40] mrwes, maybe i should run it without any music first? [00:40] nado, what's the difference between mii-tool and ethtool? I can't seem to get ethtool to make any changes. I get a constant "Operation not permitted". I am running the commands as root. [00:40] arrrghhh, that's the purpose of running the repo version, as dependencies are met [00:41] Anyone running Jaunty on a Macbook? [00:41] mrwes, yes, that's why i tried the repo version first. i only tried to compile after it failed to run. [00:41] arrrghhh, you try going to the admin gui via your browser? http://localhost:3689 ? [00:41] Huufarted, they are the same for what you want to do [00:41] how do you stop kile from loading the splash screen? [00:41] Huufarted from WOW Stormreaver??? [00:41] nado, ok. [00:41] mrwes, it's not there as mt-daap stops on that error. [00:42] ok [00:42] arrrghhh, did you edit the mt-daapd.conf file? [00:42] Myxed, correct. Please send me a private tell in game or here to keep things on ctopic [00:42] anyone? [00:42] What is the command for me to upgrade to the beta? [00:42] mrwes, yessir. i think i should try running it w/o a music directory... [00:43] !jaunty > jsphillips86 (jsphillips86, see the private message from ubottu) [00:43] VPN, Anyone? [00:43] arrrghhh, what directory are you using? [00:44] mrwes, for my music? [00:44] arrrghhh, yah [00:44] r [00:44] stevea_, i've read it, and i haven't understood a word of it [00:44] ok i,m new to ubuntu i got it installed in windows xp and then boot to this on startup i was wanting to install this program by it self but i,m afraid it will not setup my video drivers and other drivers does anyone know if it will or will i have trouble with it if i do that? [00:44] mrwes, don't see how this helps, /media/200GB/Music/ === edgex is now known as edgex-[a] [00:45] arrrghhh, I was just wondering if it was a permissions issue on the directory [00:45] and why not its as plain as the nose on your face [00:45] mrwes, well it doesn't fail on the *first* file. unless it starts in the "d"s lol. [00:45] what needs to be running so that a Windows client using Remote Desktop is able to connect to this Ubuntu box? [00:45] stevea_: what program are you talking about? [00:45] stevea_: if you say so. what is "this program"? who did you install ubuntu "in" windows? which "it" should setup drivers? [00:45] does anyone know where i can get an nmap-4.85BETA5 deb so i can scan my windows clients for conficker [00:45] ubuntu [00:46] bc, uh the other way is easy. not sure about the other way. [00:46] stevea_: ubuntu is an operating system.. quake 4 is a program [00:46] bc, sorry said that retarded. ubuntu -> win rdp = easy. win -> ubuntu rdp, not sure. [00:46] stevea_: so you used wubi? [00:46] arrrghhh: I've done it once before, but now something that is needed isn't running, and I have no idea what "it" was :) [00:46] yes i know that thats what i,m talking about [00:46] cwraig, apt-get install nmap ? [00:46] ubuntu 8.10 [00:46] stevea_: then explain it to us in the correct words [00:47] cwraig, is that what you are looking for ? [00:47] bc, well vino is the client in 8.10. i don't know what a server would be, unless you used vnc... [00:47] if you know it - because we aren't mind readers [00:47] or if there's some terminal services you can enable, i don't know. [00:47] stevea_: if your question was "i have installed Ubuntu using Wubi; i would prefer to install it natively, but will my video and other drivers work like they do in Wubi if i do that?" -- then the answer is "yes" [00:47] arrrghhh: ahh vino is running. any idea what port it uses? nmap isn't available.. how else would I find out? [00:47] ok i,m new to ubuntu i got it installed in windows xp and then boot to this on startup i was wanting to install this program by it self but i,m afraid it will not setup my video drivers and other drivers does anyone know if it will or will i have trouble with it if i do that? [00:47] nado, you need the beta5 build i cannot find a deb anywhere for it do you have any ideas where to look? [00:48] stevea_: I still don't understand.. you have installed ubuntu and it's working, right? what are you trying to do? install it again on another computer? install without wubi on the same computer? upgrade? [00:48] bc, i think the default is 5900. [00:48] no i was going to install it on this pc without it being installed in windows xp [00:49] arrrghhh: I'll poke around, thanks [00:49] *sighs* [00:49] cwraig, http://nmap.org/download.html [00:49] stevea_: that would be "reinstalling ubuntu but without using wubi" [00:49] cwraig, just build it [00:49] bc, i'm sure someone's done it. g00gle :D [00:49] nado, yea ill have to, thanks [00:49] stevea_: then I guess LjL's answer would be valid [00:49] ok if i do that will i have problems with drivers for video and sound [00:50] !hardware > stevea_ [00:50] stevea_, please see my private message [00:51] or will ubuntu install all the drivers i will need for my system? [00:51] stevea_, most drivers you'll need are built into the kernel. the only ones that aren't are closed-source (for the most part) like video cards, some wifi controllers, etc. [00:52] stevea_: it should install all the drivers you need [00:52] stevea_: it will install the same drivers that it would install when you install it "in windows xp". [00:52] arrrghhh: yeah, just have to fix the 'cannot open display' thing. i'll get it, thanks! [00:52] it doesn't USE windows xp's drivers. it ALWAYS uses its OWN drivers, stevea_ [00:52] regardless of how you install it [00:53] thank you jackpot thats what i was asking thank you very much [00:54] hey, i'll be reading a chapter from my bible and will go to sleep, so i'll see you guys all later [00:54] anyone able to help me with this - im using alsa + ventrilo. havent got my mic working yet but thats not to worry - i can sit in channels and hear people but there are overtones that didnt occur in windows and i havent found any comment of someting like this on the intarwebz+ [00:55] anyone know of a way to set my computer to write out a hosts file when it resolves domains? [00:56] anyone use mt-daap or firefly? [00:56] tonsofpcs: do you want to do that in order to speed up future domain resolution? [00:56] LjL: yes [00:56] LjL: but i also want to be able to take that hosts file to another machine [00:56] tonsofpcs: then - i don't know about what you asked specifically, but there are better ways to achieve that [00:56] !info dnsmasq | tonsofpcs, this is what i use [00:56] tonsofpcs,: dnsmasq (source: dnsmasq): A small caching DNS proxy and DHCP/TFTP server.

[00:58] fantasyforever, in a web browser [00:58] tonsofpcs: yes but you could probably just grab its cache file [00:58] yesi have registered the modem [00:59] i also want the cache to never expire [00:59] tonsofpcs: that should be configurable in pretty much any proxy [00:59] fantasyforever, do you know what i mean by that? like the router doesn't have internet until the modem is initially setup by comcast. either by installing their stupid software or having them do it over the phone. [00:59] I have an issue Brasero recognises a DVD disk as empty and writable but says there is only 0 mb of space left, ive tied like 6 dvds [00:59] Question: 802.11N -- Is there any support for any 802.11N chip for putting it in Access Point Mode?

[01:00] yes, i am using it right now. It's been done over the phone [01:00] LjL: right [01:00] ndshacker: have you tried a different disk? Perhaps that one is just bad?

I have some aerial video captured from a Aiptek PenCam 1.3 SD. In the video properties, it lists the codec as "SP5X-like JPEG." The video plays great in Totem and VLC, but I can't open it in Cinelerra, Avidemux, or Kino. Is there a way to convert it to DV format or find the appropriate codec for one of these programs? I've done a fair share of searching, but haven't gotten anywhere. [01:13] shpook: convert it to MPEG2 [01:13] LjL, ahh, that did the trick. Thank you for your help. [01:14] anyone able to help me with this - im using alsa + ventrilo. havent got my mic working yet but thats not to worry - i can sit in channels and hear people but there are overtones that didnt occur in windows and i havent found any comment of someting like this on the intarwebz+ [01:14] but isn't MPEG2 a compressed format? [01:14] I'd rather only compress the file once after editing...the quality isn't all that great as it is. [01:15] shpook: yeah, although there are other formats that have lossless compression [01:15] shpook, so is the video format you're using. RAW video is rarely - if ever - used. even BD's are "compressed" [01:15] I know, but if I convert it to another compressed format, won't that cause a loss in quality? [01:16] if not, I don't mind converting it to mpeg2 :D [01:16] shpook: Converting between lossy formats results in quality loss [01:16] shpook, what he said [01:17] Hello all. [01:17] wouldn't be an issue if it was decent quality video to begin with. :D The problem is, Cinelerra, Avidemux, or Kino won't read the file [01:17] !hi | Roanoke [01:17] Roanoke: Hi!

[01:19] hey everybody [01:19] shpook: if you can get a lossless format or one that doesn't lose as much quality, that might be better [01:19] fbc-mx, que?

I suppose you need lsof & that's a pretty convulted "solution" but I'm trying to be creative. :) [02:14] Mean_Admin: then you use alternate-cd but not the server-edition for a desktop-system [02:15] iceroot: Or minimal (netinstall) disk [02:15] Guest290342: thanks, but i am not really satisfied with that. [02:15] phaer: Fair enough. Can you run top from the chroot environment? [02:15] phaer: Or same story? [02:15] iceroot: so then what's up with server edition ? why was it made ?

It'll let you upload your bookmarks to a central server and you can use them on any Firefox installation on any machine or OS that you use that you also add Foxmarks to. [03:52] hi [03:52] Jenna48: it's a great thing if you use more than one OS, or more than one machine. Your bookmarks will always be synchronized on all of them. [03:53] Jenna48, what PhotoJim said...

Far too rich an environment for me to describe in one sentence. I recommend you get a Linux book for newbies. It's super-powerful and super-flexible. [04:09] ubuntu 9.04 is best ,but vers beta [04:09] paragonc: ssh -X [04:09] Hi. running a dual screen set up with ATI video card here. There's still some tweaking I wanna do [04:09] How do drivers work for ubuntu anyway. I am used to the windows way of downloading them when they are released. ;x [04:09] Why is Xinerama greyed out in Catatalyst control center? [04:09] iceroot: i've done that - but when i try and launch anything - it says it can't get display [04:09] Ertain: im booting to an login shell no gdm at all [04:10] I downloaded the newest Open Office and when I tried to install it I get the following --> Error: Failed to extract the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) files. (exit code 7). What do I need to download or install to fix this??? [04:10] please someone !:S im sure the problem is not very hard..im just really not experienced...ive surf a lot to find the answer but i cant see why its not working [04:10] On occasion I do that. [04:10] Thank you. Kitche and Thank you PhotoJim [04:10] any recommendations on ripping dvd software something like dvd shink [04:10] blackmamba: you're welcome. [04:10] ubuntu 9.04 faster booting [04:10] iceroot: Error: no display specified [04:10] Nithrin: installing Linux software manually is fairly complex. You're far better to use the Ubuntu OpenOffice packages. [04:10] hmm... I wonder if that worked [04:10] any recommendations on ripping dvd software something like dvd shink????????// [04:10] ssh -X user@host and then type e.g. firefox did not work? [04:11] stduseren: I'm sure there's a few. google it or even just go into add/remove software and type in DVD [04:11] stduseren: dd if=/dev/dvd of=file has worked for me more than enough [04:11] paragonc: that was for you :) x-forwarding is enabled in sshd.conf? [04:11] stduseren: Handbrake has a linux version now [04:11] hi,i'm having a problem with most KDE apps(im using gnome though).all menus and several other text aspects do not appear.what could be going wrong? [04:11] Is there a way I can setup my computer so that after standby I don't need a password? [04:11] Ertain: i like using bash so its not a problem for me if i really need to use a gui i boot konoppix [04:11] coppro: thx [04:11] What is the config file managed by gnome-keybinding-properties ? === kevin_ is now known as uvacav [04:11] psyber: It's actually the screensaver that locks the computer after resume from suspend [04:12] iceroot: http://pastebin.com/m59a2e398 [04:12] coppro: thx but what is that? [04:12] stduseren dd is a terminal utility that fundamentally copies one file to another, with a lot of options [04:12] coppro: r u saying just use dd [04:12] yeah, unless you have some specific reason, it should do fine [04:12] oOarthurOo: ohh, thank you [04:13] f u cn rd ths, u r prbly a trrbl spllr. [04:13] paragonc: you tried that in xterm? === junglist_ is now known as VictoryGin [04:13] so any info on where to find settings for dual screen in 9.04? [04:13] bluenzo, all supported hardware is detected at boot, if ubuntu sees new hardware, it downloads drivers from its driver repository and installes them, (unless you are talking about proprietary drivers) Then there is a tool that shows you what proprietary hardware you have physically installed and offers to enable the proprietary drivers for it. [04:13] coppro: what about the encryption? [04:13] iceroot: i'm in terminal on my macbook ssh'ing into my ubuntu 8.10 box [04:13] hey guys, could any of you recommend a company that supplies shells? [04:13] iceroot: my ubuntu box is hooked up to my tv [04:14] jtiner: Ubuntu has at least three shells available. [04:14] stduseren: the resulting image would still be encrypted - you'll need more advanced software to remove that [04:14] paragonc: type xterm and then do it again with ssh [04:14] ssh is a shell? [04:14] hey guys, did anyone make a zte 3g modem work fine in ubuntu? [04:14] jtiner: what do you mean by supplies shells [04:14] oOarthurOo: that's cool and everything, but for work i have to run vista or xp - so i'm trying to find a shell to use with PuTTY [04:14] aspoor: ssh isn't a shell. ssh is a way to connect to a shell on another machine. [04:15] aspoor: ssh is a protocol [04:15] iceroot: im confused, do i type xterm in terminal on my macbook? [04:15] paragonc: yes [04:15] I see [04:15] iceroot: i dont have xterm on my macbook [04:15] paragonc: hm ok [04:15] iceroot: only terminal [04:15] like z modem, lol [04:16] or cexyz? [04:16] jtiner: you can buy shell access from lots of companies. or you can find an old computer (even a 486 or Pentium) and run a Linux distribution on it, and enable an ssh server to which you can connect. [04:16] xterm is a terminal on mac...it can run different shells...i ended up putting bash on mine... [04:16] im using the default terminal.app in os x 10.4 [04:16] PhotoJim: yeah i'm with that, i have a laptop and this machine i'm on now, but i have to keep windows on them for work - kinda lame huh [04:17] jtiner: there is a version of Ubuntu you can run as a Windows task. or you can run Linux off a bootable CD. [04:17] grocer, xterm is a terminal emulator not a physical terminal ;) [04:17] is there a graphics problem ubuntu chat? [04:17] jtiner: or just pick up a cheap Pentium III with decent memory and play with Linux on that. [04:17] grocer: so is xterm the same for ubuntu [04:18] anyone here used something like this with ubuntu? http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/op/z_002336tray.jpg [04:18] isn't bash the same in whatever terminal you're in? (virtual or otherwise?) [04:18] grocer: more or less. [04:18] ergo, wouldn't you just pick the same shell? [04:19] lwizardl, a rack ? [04:19] jewfish: thats what i thought xterm was [04:19] nado, mobile rack yes [04:19] ok - let me rephrase this - i'd like the application im launching to load on the off site server [04:19] lwizardl, do you want the system installed on it ? [04:19] DasEi: Thank you. [04:20] paragonc, how are you connecting to the off site server ? [04:20] nado: ssh [04:21] if you want to start a graphical application, you need to 'ssh -X' forward X display [04:21] paragonc, if you want to run an application that keeps running even when you log off, check 'man screen' [04:21] nado, not really, what i was thinking about doing was installing the main os onto the internal drive something like an 80gb and then having multiple other drives using those racks for the media frontend to read [04:22] lwizardl, it should not be a problem [04:22] nado, but would i have to keep doing anything when i change the drives out with something else? [04:23] lwizardl, the system should recognize that the drives are different and compute a unique UUID for each drive [04:23] technically you should not have to do anything [04:23] but that's the theory you know :D [04:23] nado, so it would basically act like it does with external usb drives [04:23] yeah [04:23] I formatted a drive in Gparted to be HFS+ and now Ubuntu can't write to it, only read it. What gives? [04:24] it would act more like an internal drive lwizardl [04:24] unless you rack is USB.. but it doesn't seem like it === LostCause07 is now known as Strider [04:24] hello\ [04:24] Kirill_, well hfs+ if its journalised then it can't write to it, disable journal on it and ubuntu would be able to write to it [04:24] hi,i'm having a problem with most KDE apps(im using gnome though).all menus and several other text aspects do not appear.what could be going wrong? [04:25] anyone know the name of the screen resolution in ubuntu? === Strider is now known as Narbradia [04:25] mysticdarkhack, ? [04:25] mysticdarkhack, what are you looking for exactly ? [04:25] screen resolution manager [04:26] lwizardl -> I don't have a Mac. I formatted it using default settings in Gparted? Would Gparted make it journaled by default?? [04:26] My desktop is too big for the display. No matter the resolution I select, part of the desktop is not on the screen. Using 8.10 with Nvidia 8400 pci-e card. I'm using version 177 of the Nvidia driver. Any ideas? [04:26] Question, I have a Desktop machine, and I was wondering how to get ubuntu to place output on the S-Video instead of the VGA? [04:26] is this the same thing on Freenode? [04:26] mysticdarkhack, System->Preferences->Screen Resolution [04:26] can i dual boot windows and ubuntu installing windows on another hard drive instead of creating a new partition? [04:27] DaemonLee: check your hardware [04:27] rcy, pm me [04:27] tonsofpcs, What do you mean by that/ [04:27] *? [04:27] ok I know this is stupid but I forgot how to adjust how many desktops I have ? [04:27] BlackCoffee, yes [04:27] nado: not sure how to do that... [04:27] nado it now on my system, preferences since I did some upgrade [04:27] nado, ok because i'm looking to build a media backend server to house all my media files (dvds, videos, pictures, music, etc). and I want to be able to swap out drives incase I run out of empty bays in the case [04:27] BlackCoffee: sure. on my desktop, I have grub (the boot software) and Windows on one drive, and my entire Linux installation on another physical drive. [04:28] Hola? [04:28] so I just wondering the name of it so I can install it [04:28] Hay alguien aca? [04:28] great [04:28] L3dPlatedLinux, right click the desktop icon in bottom right of screen [04:28] lwizardl, yeah i understand.. it shouldnt be a problem [04:28] i just didn't wanna go thru the live cd formatting tool step [04:28] 9.04 driver 180.37 have a good display [04:28] I removed that i know there has to be another way [04:28] lwizardl, not sure you can hot swap them though [04:28] Kirill_, doubtful but you might want to check anyway [04:28] last time i did that i lost suse and winxp :\ [04:28] blackcoffee y not? [04:28] ahh [04:28] BlackCoffee, do you have vista? [04:29] BlackCoffee: install a second drive, and tell Linux to install the OS there. No problem. [04:29] i have no windows in my system since that day lol [04:29] BlackCoffee, as long as you use manual in the partitioning step and defrag your xp partition [04:29] lwizardl -> I read somewhere that running chown on the external drive can do the trick but I'm on Ubuntu Live CD and the drive is owned by root [04:29] i'm planning on installing xpsp2 but only for audio production [04:29] Question, I have a Desktop machine, and I was wondering how to get ubuntu to place output on the S-Video instead of the VGA? I do have a S-Video Cord running from my tower to my TV. [04:29] BlackCoffee, the manual partitioning step is just that, manual [04:29] nado, yeah thats what i was looking for, was thinking about keeping my porn collection on one of those and using it only on the frontend that will view the stuff [04:29] And it shows bootup, perfectly. [04:29] BlackCoffee, windows will wipe out your grub bottloader - you will need to reinstall it afterwards [04:29] yeah,i read about that [04:30] itai_michaelson, BlackCoffee or use the bootpart method and utilize windows' bootloader [04:30] lol lwizardl , i don't need to know the details of what's on your drives man :D [04:30] i mean,i'm kind of studying the manual,don't want ubuntu to die [04:30] any have installyng ubuntu 9.04 beta vers¿? [04:30] itai_michaelson, BlackCoffee but then you have to install grub to ubuntu's partition not the MBR [04:30] Kirill_, ah well to do a chown its basically what i do is just 'chmod 777 /path/to/drive' which lets all my users write to it [04:30] lwizardl, http://linux.die.net/man/1/hotswap [04:30] and you get two boot loaders. kinda redundant [04:31] but...is it ok if i leave only the default windows bootloader?will it show ubuntu too? [04:31] Question, I have a Desktop machine, and I was wondering how to get ubuntu to place output on the S-Video instead of the VGA? I do have a S-Video Cord running from my tower to my TV. It does show bootup on both monitor and TV screen. When login occurs, TV goes black. [04:31] nado, hehe i'm just being honest (you know something that doesn't happen alot on irc) [04:31] BlackCoffee, like I said, you have to install grub to ubuntu's partition [04:31] hehe :) [04:31] BlackCoffee, it defaults to the MBR [04:31] BlackCoffee, there are tuts out there on how to "restore grub" [04:31] DaemonLee, first you gotta enable that in the monitor options. which usually is set for second display [04:32] yeah,i have one of those bookmarked,got it from the ubuntu forum [04:32] BlackCoffee, space_cadet i believe it would be easier just to restore grub === BADAI is now known as nadin_cllu [04:32] itai_michaelson, from what I've experienced, grub fails to load xp === client07 is now known as icha_09 [04:32] itai_michaelson, on my machine at least [04:32] i'll do whatever suits better for a n00b [04:33] space_cadet, i never had that experience... [04:33] swap begin cilindres (most rend) [04:33] faster boot [04:33] lwizardl, there is a gui front end for it also. Package hotswap-gui [04:33] nado, ah sweet thanks [04:33] YES!!! [04:33] I can write to HFS+!!!! [04:34] BlackCoffee, basically the way I did it, install xp, then ubuntu, when installing ubuntu, install grub on ubuntu's partition (at the last step before actually installing) THEN, after the install, boot to windows, use bootpart to grab the bootsector of the ubuntu partition and add an entry to BOOT.INI and then you have it working. [04:34] but that is a lot of work ^^ [04:34] lwizardl -> I can write to it from terminal using sudo [04:34] Question, I have a Desktop machine, and I was wondering how to get ubuntu to place output on the S-Video instead of the VGA? I do have a S-Video Cord running from my tower to my TV. It does show bootup on both monitor and TV screen. When login occurs, TV goes black. [04:34] ..b o ot ...swap nad...ext4 files of system [04:34] I put Unbuntu 8.10 on an ancient PII 300 with 448mb ram and a TNT2...it runs fine (on it right now) but it's stuck in 800x600. Is a TNT2 thing? [04:34] What is a good program in Ubuntu to watch movies? [04:34] is partition perfect [04:35] BlackCoffee, what's your disk like right now. [04:35] well [04:35] BlackCoffee, aka, what do you have installed? [04:35] i have ubuntu installed on the primary hard disk,it's a 40 gb disk [04:35] Kirill_, ok then its not a journal partition, do the install like you was going to do then either chown the drive to make it your users or just chmod 777 to give full access to everyone on that machine [04:35] Nithrin, vlc is great [04:35] and have 25 free gigas [04:35] anyone here have trouble reconnecting to wired Internet after standby? [04:35] BlackCoffee, and you want to do what? [04:35] i want to leave that only for running ubuntu [04:36] DaemonLee: there's some info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/SVideo that might be instructive [04:36] and windows running from another hdd [04:36] memory swap usage 0 ..256 MB is suficient [04:36] glitsj16, Looking now. [04:36] BlackCoffee, well... what I would do is go out in search for "dual boot xp ubuntu, ubuntu first" [04:36] BlackCoffee, and just apply that to a dual HDD situation [04:37] OR [04:37] also anyone know how to tell before you buy a raid controller if it supports ubuntu & linux? example would the ubuntu installer be able to directly use the controller without needing extra stuff or config [04:37] glitsj16, I get an error when attempting any of those. [04:37] The error is: Can't open display. [04:37] BlackCoffee, you could remove your ubuntu HDD and place another HDD in and install XP, then put the ubuntu HDD back in, and make the xp drive a slave. [04:37] lwizardl -> Thank you for your help and tips. I'm copying stuff to the drive using sudo dd already. I hope it's all smooth sailing from here. [04:37] I heard that Dell XPS M1530 overworks the processes or inefficiently uses it or something. Is this true? [04:37] BlackCoffee, then update grub. [04:38] so basically i have this many options [04:38] space_cadet, BlackCoffee in that case ,install XP, restore grub would probably be the easiest, in the unlikely case it doesnt work- install grub to ubuntu partition and restore mbr [04:38] Hi, found answer, acpi -t will show cpu temp from a command line. [04:38] DaemonLee: have you tried option B yet ? [04:38] Kirill_, congrats man. i only needed a hfs+ drive for my 360 to read my HD wmv collection [04:38] glitsj16, should I? [04:38] itai_michaelson, ^^ read my last two posts, and see if that may work. [04:38] BlackCoffee, can i PM you? [04:38] sure [04:38] is there any open source banking system. A routing protocol where people lend to people, only very small pieces. Så security of repayment is through all of the nodes. Otherwize? There is an idea for you all =) [04:39] master boot windows defaults of fabrick get up dual boot with linux [04:39] space_cadet, you think that is easier than install xp ,restore grub? [04:39] it's true [04:39] DaemonLee: i would have tried both other options first personally, you might want to explicitly add display, checking man xrandr on that before going for B [04:39] I tried both other options, and both options gave me error. [04:39] itai_michaelson, depends on what you mean by easier? [04:39] So, I dunno. [04:40] I'll try. [04:40] itai_michaelson, I've really had no experience installing xp to a slave drive with ubuntu already installed to the master [04:40] anyone here have trouble reconnecting to wired Internet after standby? [04:40] you have a problems booting .sure === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix_da_catz [04:41] hey. does anyone know how to work dcgui? I can't seem to add shared folders. everytime i reconnect they seem to dissapear. i'm disconnected from my hub saying I'm not sharing enough [04:41] anyone have any experience setting up a samba server so you can mount shares on a computer outside of the network? [04:41] Sal-- just basic windows to linux networking? [04:41] space_cadet, my experience is that install xp ,restore grub works fine (though doesnt work with vista that smoothly)... [04:41] matt, in my case mac to linux [04:41] lol [04:41] but windows to linux as well would be nice [04:41] Hey all, what's out there for web based torrent clients? I've been trying torrentflux, but it seems to have issues with PB's http headers, Transmission works, but it's plain. Does Azureus/Vuze have a decent Web interface? [04:41] itai_michaelson, I just did the reverse on a dell lol [04:42] any suggestions for a lightweight MTA. All I need is something that will accept SMTP connections from localhost and then deliver to the destination MX server [04:42] glitsj16, restarting now with info added in Xorg. [04:42] Hmm, how does dd work on Live CD. Am I going to run out of memory because it's putting the entire harddisk image in it? [04:42] space_cadet, installed ubuntu on an xp machine? [04:42] quietas: deluge webui is pretty rocking [04:42] Sal-- Im not the brightest but it took me a long time to figure out i had to create a smb user and password to connect, could that be what you need to do? [04:42] DaemonLee: ok, goodluck [04:42] itai_michaelson, vista [04:42] itai_michaelson, and actually... [04:42] possibly [04:42] itai_michaelson, hold on one sec. [04:42] Is there a way to recursively delete files that match a certain pattern from an arbitrary directory structure? I tried rm -r ./tmp* [04:42] glitsj16, I know it works, because I can see it all the way up to login. [04:42] sorry I'm using strictly command line here, no gui [04:42] FAILURE! [04:42] Ubuntu 8.10 with a TNT2, does the NV driver support 1024x768? I'm stuck in 800x600... [04:42] itai_michaelson, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=991987 [04:42] Correction.... [04:42] SUCCESS! [04:42] I think. [04:42] DaemonLee: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:43] space_cadet: either way,all options seem very viable.i'll probably read more about all of them in different web tutorials and select the one that suits more for a noob like me [04:43] lol [04:43] itai_michaelson, that's my thread [04:43] arodd: I saw that one, the documentation was a bit sketchy, I'll look deeper [04:43] Sal-- @ command line run -smbpasswd -a where user = the name you want [04:43] look into the find command with the -exec option, voxel [04:43] lol [04:43] hmm.. dcgui? anyone? [04:43] Sal-- Then it will promopt for a password. After that as long as the 2 PCs see each other on the network you can connect just fine [04:43] quietas: I think it is integrated and no longer a plugin but don't quote me [04:44] matt, is there anyway to track bandwidth usage ? [04:44] Can I upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 from a distro cd that came with a friends new dell? [04:44] That i dont know [04:44] arodd: hehe, I read a bit and it says the best parts are plugins, but I think most is built in now as there are only two plugins to download [04:44] Hello [04:44] BlackCoffee, as long as you don't wipe your ubuntu partitions you should be good. [04:44] Black Coffee (and space_cadet ), you have many options, no doubt the fastest would be install xp then restore grub , but if that someohow doesnt work -there are other options as described before - perhaps those options are safer [04:44] Anyway to fix openoffice menus with the new wave theme? [04:44] Sal-- I imagine there are system monitor gui tools you can find however from command line, im not sure [04:44] yeah im sure [04:44] BlackCoffee, agreed with itai_michaelson above.. ^^ [04:45] hmm... you need help of a expert .i dont know [04:45] what about restricting access here [04:45] i just created an account [04:45] but i was hoping whatever user shell accounts would have the same perms on the samba share itself [04:45] space_cadet, out of interest - why did you keep vista? [04:45] such as restricting to the home directory [04:45] i am expert 80% [04:45] Is it possible to use multiple GPUs in Jaunty? In this case I have an newer NVIDIA card and an older one.

Windows/Linux/etc. [04:46] space_cadet, :-) === Andre_Gondim-afk is now known as Andre_Gondim [04:47] matt, i still can't connect :( [04:47] quietas: since they added that support i dropped the webui [04:47] remember i'm outside the network [04:47] on the computer that i'm trying to mount the share on [04:47] BlackCoffee, this one looks allright at first glance... http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm [04:47] Sal-- That shouldnt be a big issue, as long as you can see it, you should be able to connect, at least i would think so [04:47] oh my god :-) [04:47] i'm trying, it just looks like it's hanging [04:48] let's see [04:48] arodd: nice, any howto's out there? The web page really sucks for info other than marketing bs and such, doesn't even say what port or server dir. I guess I'll have to go conf hunting [04:48] Sal-- If there is a firewall on the other side it could be blocking the connection [04:48] is it possible to upgrade 7.10 using an 8.04 distribution cd that came with a new dell? or does upgrading require a special cd? [04:48] no firewall [04:48] WBL, you can do it that way i think [04:48] it's my server i have root access [04:48] what port does samba run on? [04:48] 137 ? [04:48] several as I remember [04:49] Yeah, 443 comes to mind as well [04:49] 445 also [04:49] is for expert but you can intent [04:49] BlackCoffee, if you are going to use that tut, just disregard the "make space for windows xp" if you are going to use a seperate drive...

[04:50] 443 is ssl [04:50] quietas: if you pm me i can walk you through it [04:50] BlackCoffee, i wasnt here to read it. [04:50] i don't see any rules in the iptables [04:50] space_cadet, im duel booting vista and ubuntu [04:50] k [04:50] Q [04:50] bluenzo, ok..

[04:50] :-) [04:50] i find it easiest to install vista first then ubuntu, cuz then grub's list if perfect === ^law^41 is now known as _law === _law is now known as _law_ [04:51] When I use "dd" to copy from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb1 it goes on for a while and then I press Ctrl + C and it tells me it coppied 23 GB but I look inside /dev/sda and nothing has been copied. What gives? [04:51] melik: it's an application to keep your system informed on available updates [04:51] Black Coffee - look at this one (to restore grub) - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [04:51] port 139 is open heh [04:51] Geez Ubuntu is fast. It makes Vista look like crap! [04:51] so is 445 [04:51] aye [04:51] bluenzo, well if you read my thread... that wasn't an option or a problem... (for me) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=991987 [04:52] Anyone know whether I can process a combined other_vhosts_access_log with all my virutal domains in it and get meaningful statistics for each domain? I don't really want to set up individual logs for each domain if I can avoid it [04:52] how do i detmine which session X is running on and output an application screen to that session? [04:52] space_cadet, what wasnt an option? [04:52] BlackCoffee, it adds the find /boot/grub/stage1 command which is important sometimes [04:52] bluenzo, nope. i already had ubuntu and vista installed. [04:52] space_cadet> BlackCoffee, what was your original question?<<<---i'm digging up,wait,i'll paste it lol [04:52] k [04:52] itai_michaelson, sometimes?? [04:52] lol [04:52] thanks glitsj16, and can you explain what seahorse daemon is? [04:53] I think BlackCoffee wanted to know if it was possible [04:53] space_cadet: can i dual boot windows and ubuntu installing windows on another hard drive instead of creating a new partition? [04:53] there [04:53] shouldn't be a problem from what I can guess. [04:53] is it possible to upgrade 7.10 using an 8.04 oem cd, or does upgrading require a special cd? [04:53] space_cadet, on those times when its not hd0,0 :-) [04:53] oh my god [04:53] :- [04:53] I'm trying to find the device file that matches a particular ALSA card. How do I do that? [04:53] how do i add an application to startup [04:53] bluenzo> I think BlackCoffee wanted to know if it was possible<<---yeah ,got lotsa feedback though LOL, [04:54] all depends on whether or not xp will accept being the bi#@h and install to a slave... BlackCoffee [04:54] space_cadet, whats what i do, i have vista on a 640GB HDD and ubuntu on a 40GB HDD [04:54] ugh. i'm so clueless to what's wrong here, can anyone help me? [04:54] jdb: if you use vhost_combined instead of combined for your CustomLog format it should add the domain info to the log [04:54] space_cadet, i disconnected my ubuntu drive while installing vista lol [04:54] Erik__, thanks I found a command that'll work! [04:54] WBL_O_O: why dont you just upgrade from the repository [04:54] bluenzo, you missed the question... he has ubuntu on the master, and wants windows on the slave... [04:54] SeViLLa-> dial up [04:54] BlackCoffee, are you sata or IDE? [04:55] WBL_O_O: ouch [04:55] bluenzo, that shouldn't make a difference... [04:55] space_cadet, both of my HDDs are "master"s technically [04:55] ;x [04:55] melik: seahorse is a frontend to GnuPG, it is used to keep data communication secure ... you can get a short summary of each available package using synaptic by the way [04:55] Bluenzo:ide [04:55] though the new HDD might be SATA [04:55] bluenzo, unless you have them on seperate channels, that's impossible... [04:55] hola [04:55] space_cadet, yes they are separate channels lol [04:56] lol [04:56] jtaji I tried just running that through webalizer but it didnt seem to distinguish the different domains [04:56] one is IDE one is sata ;x [04:56] sd vs hd [04:56] WBL_O_O: what about a place that has a hotspot or a library [04:56] bluenzo, did you know that HDD's have negative tracks? [04:56] you grub-----> error 17.i think [04:56] jdb: hmm, dunno, I'm using awstats with separate log files for each vhost [04:56] my ttf fonts are looking weird (spacing, odd italics) on the screen in open office. But if I export as PDF the PDF looks good. Intrepid. Any way to fix? [04:57] aladin403, ya if u get error17, nothing super grub cant fix [04:57] okey [04:57] SeViLLa-> rural, very rural area; work and travel; would like to do it from a cd, even if I have to order it. [04:57] I have a dual boot system (networked) but on boot up, into ubuntu it will only boot in recovery mode. I then get a error message that $home/.drdc is being ignored an says that user should be owned by user and requires 644 permissions and boots up. how do I fix this? [04:57] i throw in the towel [04:57] thanks anyways [04:57] bluenzo, i think aladin403 is commenting on a subject that hasn't taken place... [04:58] space_cadet, time travel? [04:58] prolly [04:58] space_cadet, lol [04:58] WBL_O_O: well ive never done it that way maycheck the ubuntu forums or a howto page [04:58] ubuntugeek: make sure your home directory for that user is owned by the user and set the perms to 644, just like it says. [04:58] aladin403, so how's that quantim physics coming? [04:59] aladin403, gotten into string theory yet? [04:59] cratel, rtfm? [04:59] SeViLLa-> did that before I came here... no luck. Seems like a straightforward question, but I can't seem to find an answer. Thanks anyway. [04:59] WBL_O_O: good luck [05:00] hey guys i am a sys admin but not too up to par on desktop stuff these days. does anyone know the status of blu ray video? I want it also for data archival, but is video playback possible yet? also what is the fastest out right now? [05:00] it is already set to owner I am the only user of this machine [05:00] jtaji are you manually setting up the apache directives for the separate logs for each domain and separate aws configs or is there an easier way to do that that isn't so laborious [05:00] space_cadet: are you referring to my oo question? If so, can you tell me what manual and what page, or are you just being a smartass? [05:00] cratel, it's like "help I cannot mount my ntfs volume, it keeps telling me to do mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdg1 /media/SimpleDrivePS -o force" [05:01] ubuntugeek: and the permissions are 644? [05:01] cratel, i was referring to the question you answered... [05:01] jdb: manually, I don't have many vhosts, and awstats didn't require any configuring, really [05:01] can anyone take a look at the following pastebin of my ubuntu hardy machine and make some sense of it for me? http://pastebin.com/m1fd275f8 [05:01] I cannot seem to get VLC to play my movie. Someone help plz? [05:02] Nithrin, did you install ubuntu-restricted extras? [05:02] Where do I get those and how? [05:02] thewizord: did you recently install some new hardware, or upgrade your kernel and/or modules? [05:02] Nithrin, medibuntu repos [05:02] I have not upgraded my kernel I dun think [05:02] joe-mac: nothing... [05:03] joe-mac: its all teh same as its been for months [05:03] joe-mac: it all of a suddne started totally freezing, thats what the end result was. [05:03] Nithrin, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [05:03] Nithrin, read this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [05:03] there u go... [05:03] :-) [05:03] :-D [05:03] joe-mac: I can't make sense out of the message thats pasted, but its what came up immediately during the lock [05:04] joe-mac: it seems to be mostly sound devices, does it not? [05:04] do eclise or netbeans need virtual machines to run on ubuntu? [05:04] hi [05:04] i need a program that will let me browse the memory a program is populating [05:04] like Bluej on windows? [05:04] i'm a programmer and i need to find out why my program is populating so much RAM [05:04] okey :-) specimen [05:05] thewizord: no, i blame the proprietary tauinted module, but that's just my old support job coming out [05:05] any java programmer here? [05:05] idk if that's sound or not i am a little out ot if [05:05] BlackCoffee, #java ? [05:05] joe-mac: well did you read the paste? [05:05] BlackCoffee: shoot, i used to java a little [05:06] java is very easy [05:06] I found it, but when I tried to enable it, it said it is conflicting with other software [05:06] Nithrin, like?? [05:06] obviously thewizord, otherwise i wouldn't know that your kernel is tainted by a proprietary module :-) [05:06] Nithrin, flash player?? [05:06] spacemen :-) [05:06] space_cadet: thanx again [05:06] hgvb [05:06] I installed VLC [05:06] BlackCoffee, yep [05:06] otherwise I have not really installed anything [05:07] <_Brun0_> "sudo tasksel install lamp-server" hangs in ubuntu 8.10. Anyone? [05:07] Nithrin, what does it say it's conflicting with? and what was the reason to install VLC? [05:07] Someone told me VLC was good [05:07] Not needed? [05:07] joe-mac:ok,i wanna know if netbeans or eclipse need virtual machines o if they run natively on ubuntu [05:07] lol [05:07] joe-mac: well I haven't ran any updates in a long while [05:07] joe-mac: the machine seems qutie biffed now too [05:07] Nithrin, unless you have a specific need for vlc, i would say not...... [05:08] What's the best linux command to copy a large directory with some hidden files and some very large files 10GB+ [05:08] spacemen you like :-) [05:08] Nithrin, however, it would be helpful if you could name the packages that whatever said was conflicting... [05:08] It did not specify [05:08] hmm... [05:08] joe-mac: I need some advice on how to undo this [05:08] <`brandon`> how do i do the 3d box again? [05:08] Nithrin, which tut? [05:09] hmm... yes or not? [05:09] :-) [05:09] thewizord: i give you five points for usin the word 'biffed'. type cat /proc/sys/kernel/tainted you should get the number 1 [05:09] This application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' the conflicting software must be removed first. [05:09] thewizord, 1 ubuntu 500 [05:10] Nithrin, try this... open synaptic package manager and find ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:10] Nithrin, mark for installation and it should tell you which packages conflict. [05:10] <`brandon`> thewizord 1 ubuntu 500 [05:10] joe-mac: so once I get that? whats the end result? do i need to now format the box? [05:10] If you make changes to 70-persistent-net.rules for example to rename eth1 <-> eth2.. how do you make those changes take effect other than reboot? [05:10] no no no [05:10] no [05:10] Nithrin, you have to click the arrow to see them i think [05:10] never just format [05:10] just tell me, do you get a 1 or 0 [05:10] <`brandon`> brandon 1kde [05:11] tambu: /etc/init.d/udev restart methinks [05:11] joe-mac, tried that it didn't seem to work. [05:11] I found ubuntu-restricted-extras in the search. Should I apply and install? [05:12] <`brandon`> !compiz | brandon [05:12] brandon: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz-fusion [05:12] Nithrin, yes, but at the prompt report back what conflicts and/or must be removed... [05:12] i had NVIDI installed and running on my laptop for a week but today when i started it then suddenly all the graphics are gone and i cant even find nvidia card in system , prefereneces>hardware [05:13] tambu: thec ommand is [05:13] libavcodec51 is to be removed. I guess that is what was causing the problem [05:13] sudo cat /proc/sys/kernel/tainted [05:13] abhishekiitd, did it take longer to start up than usual? did you recently boot and shutdown windows on the same machine? are you using nvidia 177 drivers? [05:13] i had NVIDI installed and running on my laptop for a week but today when i started it then suddenly all the graphics are gone and i cant even find nvidia card in system , prefereneces>hardware................PLEASE HELP [05:13] you will probably see 1. my guess is you have the nvidia restricted drivers of ati drivers [05:14] spacce [05:14] joe-mac you talking to me.. I do see 1.. what does nvidia drivers have to do with networking? [05:14] Nithrin, i guess it was installed with vlc [05:14] Can someone please tell me what settings i need to use to get a pair of creative USB speakers working in Ubuntu? Thank you. [05:14] space_cadet:yes it took a bit longer, because of its error message at the start that it could not detect graphics card and hence running in low resolution mode [05:14] joe-mac: okay, i've got it booting up onto my displays second input, so I can bounce back and forth between machines on one monitor [05:15] joe-mac: i'm gonna run the said command above. [05:15] How do I set the audio device in Ubuntu.. I've plugged in my USB Logitech headphones, but it plays via my speakers. [05:16] abhishekiitd, have you recently updated? [05:16] joe-mac: okay so it gave me the #1 as you said [05:16] hi there i have an issue where almost all my apps before my upgrade from 8.10 open then close sometimes so quick u dont even see the window pop up... for example google earth will open just as the tip of the day opens everything closes anyone have any ideas that can help [05:16] joe-mac: what does this mean for me? [05:16] time of the te [05:16] space_cadet:nopes, i recentle installed it, rather [05:16] whats the best way to add a program to startup via the command line ? (need to launch irexec at boot time ) [05:16] abhishekiitd, and it worked before? [05:16] abhishekiitd, and how did you go about installing it? [05:16] space_cadet:as good as it could as worked [05:16] thewizord: it means your kernel is tainted by a module, in this case, a proprietary module. because is it not open source the linux devs have no way of knowing its quality and often random crahses are dcaused by proprietary modules [05:16] I get the Error: Could not read from resource with the movie player. Anyone help? [05:17] !es [05:17] 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. [05:17] hmm... [05:17] is this crashing repeatedly thewizord? [05:17] and by repeatedly i really mean consistently [05:17] space_cadet:well, after i installed ubuntu. i went to hardware drivers, disabled and enabled nvidia..it downloaded and installed some files [05:18] I'm curious about deluge-torrent. I'd like to install it but I don't know if I wanted "deluge" or "deluge-torrent" package? When I attempt to install either, it seems to be very similar? [05:18] !upgrade [05:18] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [05:18] hey is there any way to get remote desktop viewer to display the local curser? [05:18] having issue with all my programs closing after update from 8.10 [05:18] abhishekiitd, and are you using the 177 drivers? [05:18] joe-mac: whats my course of action then? [05:18] Nithrin, what kinda file u tryin to open? [05:18] space_cadet:and after restart it was running great [05:19] space_cadet:how do i know if it was (or is) 177 drivers? [05:19] I don't need a firewall or anti-virus with Ubuntu right? [05:19] joe-mac: am I looking at something that is likely beyond repair for this install? [05:19] abhishekiitd, try restarting again... [05:19] can i get some advice for ubuntu here? [05:19] Nithrin, not usually... [05:19] mibff80tgxe: undoubtedly [05:19] Nithrin, however, you do have to beware for the rogue commands. [05:19] Rogue commands? [05:20] Nithrin, http://ubuntuforums.org/announcement.php?f=331 [05:20] mib_ff80tgxe: undoubtedly [05:20] hello has anyone ever used PowerTerm to cnonect to Ubuntu SSH?

[05:21] when someone can help can you P/M me or write in caps [05:21] thx [05:21] joe-mac: the problem appears much deeper... my home folder is now gone. [05:21] joe-mac: I think the machine may of been compromised... lots of stuff is now missing :\ [05:21] MBDL, writing in caps is distracting to the room... [05:22] MBDL, when someone wants to speak to you, they add your name to the line like this... [05:22] when i run PowerTerm and do an SSH into my server, and i establish the connection and then when I try to run apps from the server, I get an error: "Error opening terminal" [05:22] space_cadet: sorry...

[05:23] joe-mac: they werent i had to mount it myself [05:23] space_cadet: thx [05:23] mib_ff80tgxe, yah like <= 4x [05:23] my ethernet device is completely missinw now as well [05:24] thewizord, ouch [05:24] Under Appearance Preferences, under the Visual Effects tab, there is an option called Extra. It won't let me use it. Why is that? [05:24] Nithrin, graphics drivers. [05:24] mib_ff80tgxe, before selecting "Try or install ubuntu" press f6 and delete "quiet splash --" to see what error it may appear [05:24] joe-mac: on each boot more and more problems arise... now I cannot ssh, no eth0, no mounting devices [05:24] can anyone tell me how to program java under linux? [05:24] Nithrin, system > administration > hardware drivers [05:25] Nithrin: Your graphic card don't support it or you didn't enable the drivers. Look System --> Admin --> Hardware [05:25] I have two NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver. I have both version 173 and 177 [05:25] 177 is enabled. 173 is not [05:25] Nithrin, hmm... [05:26] mobi-sheep, could you guide nithrin to the installation to the 180 drivers for nvidia?? [05:26] mobi-sheep, i forgot how to do that.. [05:27] Nithrin, the 180 drivers fixed all my probs... what vid card u got? [05:27] any likes a tea? [05:27] joe-mac1: i think something was physically done to the machine [05:27] joe-mac1: I had apache open on it for a long time which would leave a perfect window to exploits [05:27] space_cadet: I suppose --> sudo aptitude install nvidia-180-kernel-source [05:27] Hi everyone [05:28] hmmm... was it that easy..? [05:28] watching scrubs season 4 :) [05:28] what kind of terminal is used in SSH? [05:28] In Kmail, how do I configure it to check an email account every so often? I just cant find it [05:28] help! i have ubuntu ibex on my thinkpad t61. when i restarted, the networkmanager applet is not visible and thus i don't know how i can connect to a wireless network. any ideas? [05:29] space_cadet: A true linux distro really has no versions. :P [05:29] riz0n: what ever shell is set up to be used for the user that you log in as [05:29] anyone have experience with java and linux? [05:30] sorry thewizord stupid keyboard with sleep button, need my das keyboard back. waht was tghe last coupkle thinds you said [05:30] I setup a samba server with 8.10. Windows box can read and write. Ubuntu machines can not. Priviledges are all open hence the ability to read/write freely from windows machines. Anyone have any useful ideas? [05:30] zeltikon: lots of people do, shoot [05:30] Nithrin, try (if your in synaptic still) searching for and installing nvidia-glx-180 OR (if you are on a terminal) sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [05:30] sudo aptitude install nvidia-180-kernel-source I just searched and installed that [05:30] joe-mac: I said its missing lots of stuff, like ssh, automounting even though fstab is proper, drivers have now disappeared [05:30] Nithrin, then after that, reboot and make sure the 180 drivers are activated... [05:31] joe-mac: it seems almost like the machine was tampered with as things disappear per boot [05:31] joe-mac, well im about to take a java class at school, and i need to know how to run the programs we will be making [05:31] zeltikon, shouldn't they teach you that in class? [05:32] space-cadet: on a similar question my x.org intel graphics drivers do not seem to be working. I have the latest updates and have restarted since install. Suggestions? [05:32] thewizord: you will want to boot to a rescue disk and run an fsck -y. its more likely it was fs corruption than tampered with, unmless you think one of your friends is messing with you [05:32] dave_support: O [05:32] zeltikon: what exactly do you mean? [05:32] you are you a cs student? [05:32] dogg: can I help? [05:32] if so, you will be making largely useless programs that demonstrate the basic constructs of computing [05:33] joe-mac, yeah. but this is the first time ive really used linux. [05:33] Is there any way that I can tweak my video card via Ubuntu? [05:33] dave_support: I'm having a problem with Drapes [05:33] NoobGuest, not sure, not familiar with intel's graphics drivers... [05:33] <`brandon`> how do i switch from window's to linux using the compiz 3D box? [05:33] zeltikon: You are looking for this, I thunk. --> http://tinyurl.com/dgl3m7 --> System.out.println("Good luck"); [05:33] NoobGuest, the experience I have had, they work oob [05:33] yeah, the programms will be lame, i took a c++ class at school too [05:33] dogg: well that is unsupported, universe repo === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [05:34] zeltikon: CS has little do with linux or computimng for that matter and more to do with mathematics. i don't really believe in starting off in java, but thats what most colleges do these days [05:34] Hi, i have an intel graphics card in my laptop, and scrolling at some sites is barely useable in firefox... Its really slow and glitchie, when its fine on my nvidia desktop... [05:34] if you want to start playing aorund with it sudo apt-get sun-jre i think is the package that comes with the compiler and write a couple simple programs. [05:34] zeltikon, What I would do, is dabble in some basic, ruby, and python... [05:35] zeltikon, then move to flash mx... their actionscript is interesting... [05:35] joe-mac: I'm just so damn stressed dude... this thing is my home theater pc [05:35] space_cadet: are you the 'real' space cadet? [05:35] spac_cadet, yeah, im teaching myself pything. but i need to take java for school [05:35] the real space_cadet? [05:35] thewizord: i feel ya brother. i am sort of an audiophile myself and have dealt with a lot of problems like this. [05:35] yea as pony-tail man [05:35] shuttleworthj [05:35] zeltikon: as long as you have your environment setup correctly (ie PATH and CLASSPATH), java works the same on linux as any other os. [05:35] thewizord: how long was this going for? [05:36] joe-mac, its not really cs, its more of a computer programming degree [05:36] joe-mac, not really sure what you're askin... i am the space_cadet of freenode and google groups. [05:36] more specifically, why would a windows machine be able to write to a share that a unix machine can not? [05:37] lol, mark shuttleworth man, the guy who funds canonical. a lot of folks call him 'space cadet' [05:37] aah [05:37] nope [05:37] not that space cadet [05:37] interesting though. I randomly chose this name... [05:37] zeltikon: well, IMO ruby is the best OO there is but it's slow as molasses [05:38] joe-mac, first time i played with ruby was in "rpg maker" in windows. [05:38] space_cadet, okay, one OT and I'm done, you're not just a REALLY bad Gorf player? ;P [05:38] help! i have ubuntu ibex on my thinkpad t61. when i restarted, the networkmanager applet is not visible and thus i don't know how i can connect to a wireless network. any ideas? [05:38] i'm not familiar with that, but i can tell you i am an ops engineer (sys admin) and ruby saves my life [05:38] arooni_____, you can always type in nm-applet into a terminal [05:38] space_cadet, never even heard of Gorf... [05:39] python sometimes, and of course the years and years of bash, but ruby is a pretty special language [05:39] g4lt-lappy, lol i announced to myself [05:39] g4lt-lappy, never even heard of Gorf... so I must b really bad at it. [05:39] arooni_____, i have a t61 also.. i highly recommend installing wicd [05:39] java is great if you want to be a programmer in general zeltikon [05:39] I restarted and got an error. (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module! Please ensure that there's a supported NVIDIA GPU in this system, and that the NVIDIA device files have been created properly. What do I do? [05:40] joe-mac, http://tkool.jp/products/rpgxp/eng/ [05:40] lots of jobs for it, and you can work on big projects without masive brain explosions [05:40] Nithrin, I'lll bet you have a legacy card with 180 [05:40] ? [05:40] joe-mac, yeah, its decent. but i do like pythong more [05:40] thewizord: beofre you smash something, i didn't see an answer to my q if i even asked, did this ever work? if so, how long? [05:40] I got that when I tried 177 on my 5200go [05:40] How do I fix my situation? I'd like to use the extra background functions or whatever. [05:40] Nithrin, really old card... [05:40] where are bookmakrs stored? [05:41] can anyone tell me the correct settings I need to get a pair of creative USB speakers working? They were working a day ago but I seems to have accidentally changed something [05:41] you may have to downgrade versions of the driver [05:41] Not an old card! This is a new comp [05:41] Nearly new [05:41] Nithrin, go back to the 177 drivers, and .... hope you can get the extra [05:41] mobi-sheep, thanks for the link. but im in linux mint, so i dont know how to inable the multiverse repository [05:41] zeltikon: what specifically? i find python is not as 'meta' as ruby if that even makes sense... but keep in mind i am a lowly systems guy and not a dev [05:41] can you give me what to search for? heh [05:41] mrpockets, you are going to have to be a little more specific on that one... [05:42] space_cadet, using FF in Ubuntu 8.10 and my goal is to remove all of my bookmarks [05:42] joe-mac, lol, i dont know, i just find that i prefer the language itself for whatever reason [05:42] mrpockets, go to bookmarks > manage. and delete them all... :p [05:42] how do i add repositories from the command line? [05:42] can't [05:42] Nithrin, system > administration > hardware drivers > re enable the 177 drivers and disable the 180 [05:43] mrpockets, y not?? [05:43] i like how it forces you to indent lol, people rip on me for that but i am really big on code style. like even my bash looks really really nice [05:43] delete isnt an option [05:43] anyways, i came in here to ask about blu ray [05:43] mrpockets, sure it is, one quick press of a key... [05:43] anybody know about blu ray? [05:43] joe-mac: you want to use jigdoo to make a blu-ray package disc? [05:43] joe-mac, they hold up to 50 gigs per side? [05:44] lol [05:44] <_law_> mrpockets, just select all the bookmarks n hit delete [05:44] space_cadet, "per-side". typically all optical media is one-sided [05:44] mrpockets, if you are referring to the file that the bookmarks are kept in, so you can *move* it... [05:44] nah i got 'em [05:44] thanks anyway [05:44] hello. my wireless card uses ath9k driver. I find I can connect to my netgear router with 802.11g but not with 802.11n is there something I need to do to enable this? [05:45] kubuntu 8.10 btw [05:45] g4lt-lappy, well I have dual sided cd's dvd's and im sure they make ds blueray... [05:45] no lockd like i had mentioned i mostly do systems/ops work so i am kind of ignorant on desktop hardware, wondering what a good blu ray burner would be, how fast the fastest is, can videos be played on linux etc [05:45] dogg: good night [05:46] joe-mac, ps3 [05:46] joe-mac: you can only play videos if you can decrypt the data [05:46] aah burner... [05:46] nvm [05:46] i have a few TB of data and it's raided and all but some i'd like to get back on optical and send to iron mountain or something [05:46] space_cadet: i was thinking more like an internal 5.25. lockd: how hard is decrypting the data? [05:47] the google machine seemed to have scarce information on the topic [05:47] USB Serial issue, using Prolific driver, I can connect to the port using 'cu' but i'm not getting any data, i can connect on my vista machine fine using same usb serial cable and device. [05:47] joe-mac, OUCH. well, get a DVD robot and hope they make a blu-ray one soon [05:47] joe-mac, http://tkool.jp/products/rpgxp/eng/ [05:47] arrgh... [05:47] joe-mac try this one.... lol http://forums.macnn.com/57/consumer-hardware-and-components/358534/blu-ray-burner-whats-best-one/ [05:47] lol g4lt-lappy i used to use a crap ton of ultrium tapes [05:47] so i downloaded an executable that is claime to work on many version of ubuntu, and when i double click it in nautilus it says "There is no application for this file type." [05:48] joe-mac: so I heard this actually may be related to my kernel version [05:48] landanimal, what type of file is it? [05:48] joe-mac, hmm, maybe HP has a blu-ray robot by now [05:48] thewizord: entirely possible [05:48] space_cadet: it has no extension and it's suppose to be an executeable i think, it's the Regnum Online installer [05:48] i just noticed the P for proprietary taint and i used to support a lot of linux machines and tell them to modprobe -r that before going any further [05:49] joe-mac: I'm running updates now, very very VERY outdated box [05:49] landanimal, right click > properties >permissions > check "execute" [05:49] joe-mac: I'm gonna then hook it up to the TV and start a video and leave it running [05:49] k, hopefully that fixes it dude [05:49] lol!, thanks space_cadet [05:49] i'm a newb [05:49] we all once were... :) [05:49] does anyone know what settings i need to get a pair of creative USB speakers working properly? [05:49] space_cadet:after restarting the resolution is fine but istill cant find my nvidia in hardware bdrivers, nor can i run compfiz [05:50] the machine i am on is a quad core weith 6 gb of ram that i used specifically for watching dvds and tv via windows MCE and i got sick of using my X300 for linux so i sold it and put linux on this. now i can't ghet any of the media functionality to work properly [05:50] it was way too overkill to just watch tv [05:50] and i have this like stupidly huge music collection (i am a deadhead) and i can't for the life of me get hdmi audio to work, annoying [05:51] joe-mac, medibuntu or mythtv would be where I'd look [05:51] joe-mac: these kinds of problems are why all my othre boxes are arch now :( [05:51] g4lt-lappy: yea i bet those would work out of the box but i'd rather start with stock ubuntu cause i also need to use vmware worksation and do my puppeteering and coding on something now that i sold the x300 [05:51] joe-mac: ubuntu shouldn't be this plagued with problems, but it always has been for me. I'm trying to resolve this one though [05:51] joe-mac: media should work with all of the gstreamer codecs (good, bad, ugly) installed [05:52] lockd: codecs aren't the issue [05:52] so it's the hardware support? [05:52] the issue with hdmi audio is alsa->my nvidia card [05:52] i can watch all my ahem, uh videos [05:52] joe-mac, what abou3front/OSS? [05:52] joe-mac: have you tried oss4? [05:52] anbd listen to my music [05:52] 4front? [05:52] I need some advise, I am trying to print covers for DVD case. No mater what I do it won't print BIG enough. It needs to print 11" wide. Any ideas?? [05:53] i can even watch video through hdmi. lockd, not familiar [05:53] audio through analog is perfect, just not through hdmi [05:53] hey anyone please help...i cant find my nvidia in system>administration>hardware drivers...i cant run beryl, whereas i get proper resolution [05:53] luckily my hoiuse wasr obbed so my speakers are gone anyways LOL [05:54] abhishekb, never heard compiz referred to as compfiz before... kinda like it... anyway pastebin the output of this... sudo lshw |grep -A9 VGA [05:54] i used to have this cute little hp miniature htpc thing that worked great through my awesome sony receiver that could just totally shake down the block [05:55] space_cadet: description: VGA compatible controller product: nVidia Corporation vendor: nVidia Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0 version: a1 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress vga_controll [05:55] joe-mac, cute little hp? [05:55] abhishekb, pastebin......

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:56] hey there. where can I set the default gnome setup for new users? I checked /etc/default/useradd and /etc/skel but those don't seem to hold the answer :/c [05:56] space_cadet:http://paste.ubuntu.com/141173/ === gnu is now known as Guest85382 [05:56] lol.. [05:56] space_cadet: yea the slimline series [05:57] k abhishekb change the 9 in the last command i gave you to a 10 [05:57] pretty sleek little turnkey htpc's IMO [05:57] abhishekb, and do the same [05:57] lockd: page looks nice and sketch [05:57] reminds me of the late 90s [05:57] the homepage itself looks a lot better though [05:58] space_cadet:http://paste.ubuntu.com/141174/ [05:58] joe-mac: no guarantees that it'll work any better [05:58] I need some advise, I am trying to print covers for DVD case. No mater what I do it won't print BIG enough. It needs to print 11" wide. Any ideas?? [05:58] or at all [05:58] .hi.............................. bolek knlan gak.... [05:58] you don't have the nvidia drivers installed at all.. [05:59] space_cadet:but it was running fine even yesterday! [05:59] space_cadet:anyway what can i do now? [06:00] abhishekb, pastebin your gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:00] Is Ubuntu more efficient at making my battery last longer? [06:00] hmmm... that is an interesting question Nithrin [06:01] that I don't know the answer to :p [06:01] space_cadet:well that file is empty! [06:01] really. [06:01] I guess I could do the tried and true method of getting out a stopwatch and testing it [06:01] hmm. [06:01] Nithrin: if compiz is on, i doubt it [06:01] abhishekb, that may be your problem right there.. [06:01] Nithrin: It might be easier to just monitor processor charge on idle state [06:02] Or at least that sounds smart, so I'm going with it [06:02] space_cadet:ok...is it solve-able? [06:02] bob__: get some legal sized paper.. it's 14" long [06:02] abhishekb, you did do a capital X? [06:02] in X11 [06:02] Nithrin, well, you can pit up the battery applet and use its estimates [06:02] *thinks* wait, no. The only reason it could be true is if one OS is more efficient than the other, and it's hard to perform exactly the same tasks the same way to check [06:02] space_cadet:yes [06:03] abhishekb, well then check to see if the /etc/X11 directory exists. [06:03] scunizi: That easy? Just bigger paper? HAve you done this? [06:04] bob__: I don't know what you're using to make the labels.. but you'll also have to tell your printer setup that you're using legal instead of letter paper === root is now known as Guest4612 [06:04] scunizi: Wow if thats all there is to it. I though for sure I would have to install some spcl printing program [06:05] space_cadet:i am sorry i was making a typing error, that file does exist and here goes the past:http://paste.ubuntu.com/141176/ [06:05] bob__: what you're running up against is the printers limitation to print right to the edge of the paper.. there's typically a 1/3" barrier around all the edges. [06:06] scunizi: Cool I will get some paper tommorow and give it a try. [06:06] scunizi: Thanks [06:06] bob__: np [06:06] abhishekb, ok... we have a start. [06:06] hi [06:07] space_cadet:so how did my card get uninstalled? [06:07] GUYS abhishekb has a video problem... his xorg.conf looks like this.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/141176/ and his lshw looks like this... http://paste.ubuntu.com/141173/ [06:08] abhishekb, you are using the 'vesa' drivers... why? i have no clue... [06:08] how can i dump the files a package contains so i can see where the heck the files are? :) [06:08] space_cadet:i realy have no clue why it shows vesa over there..i dont know what is that, frankly! [06:08] abhishekb vesa is the generic driver. [06:09] abhishekb, i would say... open synaptic package manager, search for and install nvidia-glx-177 [06:09] abhishekb, if it's already installed, mark for reinstallation... [06:09] space_cadet:but how do i know it is the correct driver? [06:10] abhishekb, well. either it is, and it works, or it isnt, and then you either have to install the 180 or the 173 [06:11] VLC player gets choppy as hell when i go fullscreen on my external 42 inch tv. CPU goes to 95-100%. Are there any optimization tricks i can do? [06:11] space_cadet:well mine is NVIDIa 9200 gs [06:11] abhishekb, then try the 180 [06:12] abhishekb, i have the 9600 gsm [06:12] abhishekb, the 177 gave me problems. [06:12] space_cadet:ok [06:12] going 4 smoke. [06:12] b bak [06:13] space_cadet:hey i cant search for it, it shows no ressults [06:13] Anyone have any advice for getting my Extra! visual features to work or whatever? [06:13] nvidia-glx-180 ? [06:13] yah [06:14] 有中国人吗? [06:14] you have an internet connection? [06:14] !jp [06:14] 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [06:14] Can anyone tell me how to implement a benchmark for our application? [06:14] of course.. [06:14] hmm [06:14] Any good site? [06:14] BTW.i have a weird driver Nvidia MX 400,but it works good.it says version 96 [06:14] wow [06:14] I had to go with 177 over 180 [06:14] BlackCoffee, that's really old. [06:14] i know [06:15] BlackCoffee, i have one of those.... is it agp? [06:15] 64 mb ? [06:15] 64 [06:15] yea [06:15] I cannot enable extra visual features. Not sure what I am doing wrong. [06:15] space_cadet:if i search for only nvidia i get some results [06:15] i bought it new,loooooong time ago [06:16] but it does work fine on ubuntu [06:16] Why would a windows machine be able to write to a linux hosted samba share, that a unix machine can not write to? [06:16] on windows it did work too,but only when i was using a box desktop [06:16] space_cadet:nvidia-glx-new [06:16] hmm.. [06:16] space_cadet:nvidia-glx-new is installed, version 169.12 [06:17] darthanubis: the machine that doesn't have access might not have samba installed? [06:17] abhishekb, uname -r ? [06:17] might not have samba installed...lol [06:17] the machine has access and is using the same user [06:17] abhishekb, in terminal ^^ [06:17] space_cadet:http://paste.ubuntu.com/141176/ [06:18] space_cadet:sorry [06:18] space_cadet:2.6.24-23-generic [06:18] hardy? [06:18] darthanubis: you say that linux machine A is accessable from windows machine B but isn't from linux machine c.. does machine C have samba installed? [06:19] abhishekb, hardy heron or intrepid? [06:19] space_cadet:how do i know? [06:19] scunizi, yes [06:19] space_cadet:its 8.04 [06:19] abhishekb aaha. [06:19] hardy heron [06:19] O.O [06:20] my suggestion? download the intrepid (8.10) iso [06:20] space_men, what's up man [06:20] abhishekb, do a clean install of 8.10 [06:20] space_cadet:but my nvidia was running pretty fine on this... [06:20] abhishekb, using the 169 (really old) drivers... yes.. [06:21] Why won't my Extra! visual effects work! [06:21] space_cadet:how is .10 better than .04 in terms of driver installtion? [06:21] well. [06:21] that would be a question better answered by the devs [06:21] or someone other than me... [06:21] Are the devs ever in here? [06:21] lol [06:21] lol [06:22] !devs [06:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about devs [06:22] space_cadet:ok now tell me, suppose i install 8.10, how will i then install nvidia?just by going to hardware drivers, disabling, and enabling? [06:22] !devs [06:22] lol free_loader nice name [06:22] abhishekb, well the 177 drivers work (i use that term loosley) with the 9000 series oob [06:23] space_cadet:ok now tell me, suppose i install 8.10, how will i then install nvidia?just by going to hardware drivers, disabling, and enabling?--------so this is not the method to install nvidia? [06:23] abhishekb, to install the 180 drivers it is as simple as sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [06:23] space_cadet:ok [06:23] For me the 180 drivers never work [06:23] for me they work perfect [06:23] 9600gsm [06:23] does anyone know if there's a video gpu/memory oc tool for ubuntu?... [06:24] overclock? [06:24] I had to get back to the 170s with my 9800GT [06:24] yes space_cadet [06:24] hmm [06:24] illmortalize, nope (i don't know) [06:24] I have an nvidia geforce gtx200 [06:24] mmm gtx [06:24] damn.. ok [06:24] wish [06:24] i wish [06:24] space_cadet:hey i just did sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 on 8.04 ...it aint working [06:24] how do I know when I'm done downloading on torrent? it doesn't say how much time left for download any more...does that mean it's done? [06:24] abhishekb, like i said... " in 810" [06:24] ill be honest with you.. i would have rather went with the 4850x2 than the gtx260* [06:25] illmortalize, well.. "gsm" kinda limited me [06:25] space_cadet:is it for 8.10 only? [06:25] ha [06:25] illmortalize, asus m70vm-x1 here [06:25] abhishekb: you need to list the medibuntu repository to get it ... since it's non-free the ubuntu repos won't have it [06:25] nice.... [06:25] yet [06:25] illmortalize, aka portable desktop [06:25] are the custom themes online as fast as the default themes? [06:26] ah ok lol [06:26] aaanyway... [06:26] scuniza:well, ubuntu does have drivers, cz i had downloaded and installed it through hardware drivers, in system>admini\stration.. [06:26] im going to go for that smoke i rolled about a half an hour ago.. [06:27] No ya won't...yer addicted to this chat room and u know it [06:27] yes the 173 & 177.. for hardy.. to get 180 for hardy you'll need the medibuntu repo.. [06:27] :P [06:27] anyone know how I can tell when transmission is finished with torrent? [06:27] how do I find my wlan0 mac addreess in ubuntu? [06:27] ok .0 [06:28] scunizi:so can i use medibuntu repo to install 180 on my 8.04? [06:28] scunizi:if yes, how? [06:28] help... i trying to setup bluetooth with a usb dongle [06:28] Nithrin: aren't we all free loaders? :P [06:28] i have logitech v470 and kensingston usb dongle [06:28] I love the Ubuntu [06:28] abhishekb: you should be able to. it's the preferred way.. if they don't have it you have to manually install from an Nvidia download and that has to be done correctly or you mess things up [06:28] how do I find my wlan0 mac addreess in ubuntu? === felix_da_catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [06:29] scunizi:but tell me how to install? [06:29] it worked fine before but after updating manager... it hasnt work at all [06:29] sn00p-: iwconfig [06:29] any suggestions??? [06:29] ron2010: does that default to HID mode? not quite sure [06:29] lockd: i' [06:29] i'm not sure [06:29] how do i figure that out? [06:29] scunizi, I dont want my wireless router mac address my wireless network card in my laptop === amit is now known as Guest34670 [06:30] abhishekb: there are instructions on the nvidia site.. and also in the forums.. sorry it would take a while and I don't have time to go through all the steps. [06:30] scunizi:ok but my drivers were running fine over the last week..so any idea how did it screw itself ? [06:31] ron2010: dmesg | grep Bluetooth ... pastebin that [06:31] when i hcitool scan it recognize my bluetooth with mac address [06:31] scunizi:i dont know if it was 177 or 180 but it was working great with beryl and all [06:31] ron2010: hmm, I think that is HCI mode, which I doubt works with mice [06:31] Ned__, it pops up in the bottom right saying it's done? [06:31] are the custom themes online as fast as the default themes? [06:31] it worked fine before [06:32] Ned__, or you look at transmission, and it tells you it's 100% [06:32] but after i update package it didnt work [06:32] abhishekb: I have no idea how they got kafutzed... by beryl I hope you mean compiz.. beryl is depreciated.. [06:32] very depreciated [06:32] ron2010: oh, then you will probably have to revert the packages [06:33] ron2010: things break a lot in unstable [06:33] scunizi:i dont know if it was 177 or 180 but it was working great with beryl and all [06:33] scunizi:ok, so is this problem common?nvidia screwing itself? [06:33] how would i revert it... there were at least 236 package it updated [06:33] abhishekb: nope.. [06:33] space_cadet, I don't see any of that. Maybe it said it was done when it was finished and I wasn't there? [06:34] Ned__, in transmission you see the torrent right? [06:34] I'm thinking maybe I'm supposed to click on something [06:34] ron2010: is it just not working, or is bluetoothd crashing left and right? [06:34] are the custom themes online as fast as the default themes? [06:34] not working at all [06:34] umm well it says "1 Torrent"... [06:34] anyone here have experience with tvtuners in linux?

[06:57] benkamin, well... i tried using the remote desktop to see my xp machine, but with no luck... in terminal server however... lots of luck, just thought you may have to use the same thing. [06:57] mount -t iso9660 -o loop debian-500-amd64-DVD-5.iso /mnt/iso5 [06:58] Well when I tried to mount in ubuntu it said there was a way to force it to mount [06:58] how do i change my fonts? [06:58] i would like to mount it as a cdrom drive so that apt-get can detect it [06:58] tehbaut, try that command you were told, but with sudo before it... === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [06:58] It didn't give the cms [06:58] tehbaut, you can try it in gparted from a tty [06:58] tehbaut, try adding -o force to the mount command [06:58] Cms [06:58] also you are going to have to sudo md /media/foldertomountto [06:59] space_cadet, thx, but i'm still trying to understand how to use it. [06:59] Ok my turn my turn my turn, any way to get around /sbin/getty/ [06:59] @ Scunizi: I'm going to restart with the changes you suggested, hopefully that'll do something [06:59] !tsclient [06:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about tsclient === quinn is now known as echo [07:00] benkamin terminal this: man tsclient [07:00] benkamin to quit press 'q' === echo is now known as bluerose [07:00] space_cadet, when both os are ubuntu, is it still useful to use this?

It does show bootup on both monitor and TV screen. When login occurs, TV is alternating colors and pixelated. No "good" image. [07:01] benkamin, Terminal Server Client (tsclient) lets you connect to remote desktops using many different protocols. It has support for specific connection options including color depth, screen size, and motion blocking. === adiktd|2| is now known as adiktd [07:01] So the cmd to force mount is: mount -o /dev/sda [07:01] space_cadet, thx, i'll give it a try [07:01] tehbaut, sudo mount -o force /dev/sdaN /media/folder [07:02] Ok [07:02] tehbaut, ^^ after sudo md /media/folder [07:02] folder being the name of the folder you want to create the mount at [07:02] replace md with mkdir [07:02] space_cadet, for some reason the VNC protocol is disabled and can't be selected... [07:02] * space_cadet is stuck in windows. [07:02] Remind me what md does? [07:03] space_cadet, lol [07:03] tehbaut, mkdir [07:03] Oh... Mkdir [07:03] so ubuntu really did totally just poop on me [07:04] So creating a new folder does what? Will I be able to read the rest of the contents? [07:05] tehbaut, creating a new folder allows you to mount the /dev/sdx at /media/folder_you_created [07:05] if you don't create the mountpoint, you cant mount. [07:06] tehbaut, what's thw partition type? [07:06] space_cadet: i followed up on that link but think I may need to refresh my xorg.conf file following editing. Should I do this and how do I do so without logging out/restarting? [07:06] ntfs :/ [07:06] can anyone here help me tether a blackberry? [07:06] benkamin, sudo apt-get install xtightvncviewer [07:07] thx [07:07] benkamin, then try vnc in terminal service client [07:07] Just want to be sure I don't lose any data [07:07] NoobGuest, well you have to kill x to reload it... [07:07] Especially with only 24mb of space left [07:07] then mount it like, sudo mount -t ntfs -o force /dev/sdaN /media/folder, N denotes partition number and replace /media/folder with the place where you want to mount your partition to [07:07] space_cadet: my graphics drivers dont seem to work in terminal only in X? so I have to restart. [07:08] Anybody know why extreme tux racer closes when I try to play? [07:08] Is Arch Linux a pain compared to Ubuntu? I'm a programmer who does NOT like to tinker much (shit should just work). Is Arch for me? [07:08] NoobGuest, press ctrl+alt+ backspace... note: you will have to login again, and all programs will b killed. [07:09] space_cadet: will do and thanks btw.

[07:10] i get "550 failed to open file" when trying to get a file from an ubuntu with vsftpd. any clues? [07:10] I just bought a benq 19" lcd, and I want to have a higher resolution available than 800x600? [07:10] hi [07:10] I guess [07:10] thats all screen resolution is giving me [07:10] anyone know how to restart apache? [07:10] are there files/folders in the users folder? [07:10] Could I just mount it at root? [07:10] Yes [07:11] just sudo mkdir /media/vista [07:11] will doing "dpkg --get-selections > foo" on machine a, and then "dpkg --set-selections < foo" on machine b cause packages that previously existed _only_ on machine b to be uninstalled when I run "apt-get dselect-upgrade"? if not, how can I get them to be? I want to completely mirror the install I have on a, without retaining any extra packages on b. [07:11] for some reason, it's different from the documentation I reas [07:11] read [07:11] How can I grant to the user Athenon to kill processes of the user www-data? [07:11] then sudo mount -t ntfs -o force /dev/sda1 /media/vista [07:12] Ah so /media/ is root, or? [07:12] still no luck with remote desktop connection... i'm afraid there might be a problem with the port forwarding..? but i don't know how to check it. it works perfect in internal network, but not through external ip [07:12] Still new to the linux world [07:13] /media is the place where ubuntu places mounted filesystems [07:13] I can't seem to print using gtk apps to a remote cups server, printing using qt apps works just fine [07:13] mounting a disk AS a folder that has files in it?? i believe is a BAD IDEA [07:13] how can you use a windows monitor driver with ubuntu? [07:13] can anyone here help me tether a blackberry? [07:14] Ok, so if a disk contains an os ubuntu always mounts it at /media/osname? === felix_da_catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [07:14] tehbaut, if a disk is to be mounted. ubuntu creates a FOLDER in /media that is usually named what the disk is named, (disklabel) [07:14] I just want to be able to get in and move filed between drives [07:15] hello indonesia minta tolong donggggggg [07:15] ada yang indonesai gakkk [07:15] ok [07:15] tehbaut, then just sudo mkdir /media/vista (for sake of ease) and then sudo mount -t ntfs -o force /dev/sda1 /media/vista [07:15] !in [07:15] #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [07:15] !mount [07:15] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [07:16] So mkdir /media/vista creates a file on the hdd running ubuntu, right?

[08:41] thats what my php shell commands executed under, the nobody account [08:42] moz_: the nobody account should not have an interactive shell, using the uid is fine, but not the account [08:42] ron2010: you see that?

[08:49] moz_: just try sudo, not su, probably nobody's shell is /bin/false and you won't be able to work anyway [08:49] sarmisak: no - the nobody account is locked [08:49] sarmisak: and as you said does not have a valid shell === cipherz_ is now known as cipherz [08:50] *** Is it possible to run the Jaunty beta iso through a Virtual Machine? if so, how??? *** [08:50] !jaunty | dtom2444 [08:50] dtom2444: 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.

[08:51] can I use 'dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sda' and flush the file system buffers with 'sync' afterwards to reallocate bad blocks on a hdd? [08:51] dtom2444: Oh, sorry, got you mixed up. don't type the quote, just the tings inside it, also, you're client might not let you do that if it hates you. [08:51] dtom2444: If you can't figure the client out, use mibbit.com and the command i showed you will work. [08:53] -_-a [08:53] anyone here use Adobe AIR apps? [08:53] RabbitBunny: join mibbit.com through a browser? [08:53] dtom2444: Yes. [08:53] Maldo: I wouldn't recommend that, don't use dd on a mounted filesystem [08:53] thank you [08:53] sarmisak: it's not mounted [08:54] this is kinda off topic, but i got this pimple like just inside my left nostril and its really annoying. how to remove? [08:54] Maldo: it would probably work, but be sure to check with the manual of dd. I have never tried rewriting the disk to itself [08:54] !ot > fraseyboy [08:54] fraseyboy, please see my private message [08:54] does the windows button have any usefulness in ubuntu? [08:54] tehbaut1: sometimes, if you enable compiz especially. [08:54] D: [08:54] How can I install gnome-do-plugins without the dependencies? It prompted evolution, evolution-common, evolution-plugins, etc. aptitude nor apt-get. I only wanted to use "some of the plugins" --> The one not afflicted with Evolution. [08:55] ok, so how do I hide / minimize all my windows? [08:55] windows d [08:55] its called 'super' [08:55] tehbaut1: try CTRL+ALT+D [08:55] works for me [08:55] ok, well win+d isn't working because I tried it [08:55] you can bind it i think [08:55] ctrl+alt+d works [08:55] somewhere [08:55] tehbaut1: You can change to Super + D --> Look under System --> Preferences --> Keyboard Shortcuts. [08:55] indeed. [08:55] mobi-sheep: cool, thanks [08:56] why do we need 'sudo' in ubuntu? it seems to be useless. every time I type that, my colleagues laughed at me. [08:56] sarmisak: the manual of dd says "rejuvenate a hard drive" with this command [08:56] ablmf: Why did Windows introduce UAC? >_> [08:56] Maldo: ok then :) [08:56] !gcc [08:56] Compiling software from source?

Version 4:4.3.1-1ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 4 kB, installed size 64 kB [08:57] mobi-sheep: that's why vista is not as popular as xp [08:57] ablmf: People, your friends, your little sister, etc can install crapware on your machine without password. Hence the UAC or sudo --> It only come to administrative tasks. [08:58] mobi-sheep: you can't assign it from there, it just displays Super L [08:58] mobi-sheep: it will only let me do Super , no +d :/ [08:58] but for a programmer who works on ubuntu, I have to type "sudo" too many times a day [08:59] how do I see what my eth0's got as default gateway when it's running DHCP ?

[09:01] sarmisak - Yep, but ive seen one the seems to list of suggestions rather than just one [09:01] Hey all [09:01] sarmisak - Ah, press tab more than once :D Thanks :) [09:02] @Scarey: In terminal: route -n [09:02] tucker, tnx! [09:02] How can I install gnome-do-plugins without the dependencies? It prompted evolution, evolution-common, evolution-plugins, etc as the said dependencies. I only wanted to use "some of the plugins" [09:02] tucker, it says 0.0.0.0 .. ?! [09:03] there has to be one line with something else in the router column [09:03] so where do I find compiz? [09:03] New to ubuntu or any form of Linux here [09:03] mobi-sheep: just install them, then remove them with apt-get purge ;) [09:03] tehbaut1: sudo aptitude search compiz [09:03] tucker, ahh yes. buttom line.. says ip = 0.0.0.0, gw=192.168.2.1 (seems right) [09:03] tehbaut1: install it from add / remove programs [09:03] ok [09:04] tucker, tnx again [09:04] sarmisak: I tried. With aptitude / apt-get, it needed evolution? :( [09:04] mobi-sheep: 1 sec pls.. checking my installation [09:05] sarmisak: Okay. I removed evolution because I frankly find it unnecessary. I have been using webmail for long time. :) === tucker is now known as leibniz [09:06] her guys, I just installed intrepid a week ago, how can I upgrade to jaunty automatically [09:06] badboy_: Jaunty is not released.

[09:07] of the beta? [09:07] mobi-sheep: I have the same setup here, it requires evolution for sure but it's been removed [09:07] maybe it could be beta one , I will check [09:07] mobi-sheep: removing wouldn't hurt ;) [09:07] if I'm running gnome and not KDE, I can't get KDE apps, right? === Tucker is now known as Leibniz [09:08] Hi guys. I have noticed that I can hibernate my ubuntu - which is cool. Is this a specific runlevel? If Not, how can I do this remotely via ssh? [09:08] hi i am installing Java on my comp [09:08] sarmisak: What do you mean? I don't have evolution, but I want to install gnome-do-plugins. And Gnome-do-plugins want evolution. [09:08] but i do not know how to run the .bin file [09:08] if I'm running gnome and not KDE, I can't get KDE apps, right? [09:09] tehbaut: no [09:09] ok [09:09] Help! Audio only works on my computer AFTER I force quit pulseaudio! [09:09] /calc 8*30*50 [09:09] tehbaut1→ you CAN [09:09] without installing KDE? [09:09] im trying to install clonezilla and following a tutorial but when i run this command "sudo /opt/drbl/sbin/dbrlsrv-offline -s `uname -r`" it comes up with a list of packages that are needed, when i try to downlaod those packages i get a message saying "couldnt find package ......." [09:09] tehbaut: you will have to install the qt libraries [09:09] tehbaut1→ first, what do you mean by "KDE" apps? [09:09] ah, well I thought about doing that anyway [09:09] ziroday→ which will be installed automatically [09:10] magnetron: yeah, tehbaut is just making it harder then it has to be :) [09:10] well ubuntu's add/remove is showing a bunch of KDE apps (via koffice) [09:10] tehbaut1→ just add them [09:10] hmmm, ok then :P [09:10] Jimi_Neutral: they probably have a different name in the repo [09:11] :( [09:11] hi [09:11] So how would i find them, because the list I have here is dbrl-partimage dbrl-ntfsprogs, dbrl-chntw and dbrl-lzop.....that is what comes up in the list [09:12] mobi-sheep: I'm trying to say this, if you remove evolution *after* gnome-do-plugins install, it does remove it [09:12] mobi-sheep: but if it does not matter you, just leave it as it is [09:12] hey I like to say that the gnome Ubuntu for me is a little bloated but kUbuntu rocks :) anyone on the same opinion?

[09:13] I have a fat32 partitioned 16gb sd card that is reporting improper free space. how can i fix this without formatting? is there something like chkdsk for windows? [09:13] sarmisak: Meh, how would I get gnome-do-plugins without evolution? >_> === Guest58266 is now known as `brandon` === dtom2444 is now known as UBN2 [09:14] do apps uninstall pretty cleanly in ubuntu? unlike in windows where files and settings can get left behind [09:14] tehbaut, yes [09:14] curious to try a few, but don't want to clutter things up [09:14] most apps create a .appname in your home directory [09:15] ok [09:15] tehbaut: if you use apt-get remove --purge and then apt-get clean and then apt-get autoclean. Yes [09:15] uninstalling on ubuntu is rather easy [09:16] how can i get my /dev/ttyS0 permissions right? [09:16] what is the command to clean tmp folder in terminal? [09:16] Achieve Mounter is telling me the files in the zip don't exist, what kind of problem could this be? [09:16] i cant use /dev/ttyS0 (permission denied) [09:16] Seven-7: corrupt archive [09:16] AnRkey: they should be u=rw, g=rw, o= [09:17] I'm getting "run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common exited with return code 10" after running apt-get on jaunty beta, any ideas how to troubleshoot? [09:17] <`brandon`> my friend is in a bind how do you shut down? [09:17] ziroday: Everything else checks out :/ [09:17] <`brandon`> from the black screen [09:17] `brandon`: hold down the power button [09:17] AnRkey: Is your user in the dialout group? [09:17] Seven-7: does it work on other computers? [09:18] <`brandon`> hi i am installing Java on my comp [09:18] hmm, i dont think so [09:18] <`brandon`> but i do not know how to run the .bin file [09:18] <`brandon`> any idea's [09:18] amigo_rich, so simple, thanks bud :) [09:18] !java | `brandon` [09:18] `brandon`: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [09:18] AnRkey: NP:-) [09:18] ziroday: Heh, yeah. It's an Axxo file :) [09:18] Seven-7: have you checked it yourself? [09:19] ziroday: As in, tested the file with Archieve manager? [09:20] so once I checkmark the new apps I want, how do I actually install them? [09:21] `brandon`: try rightclick propertiecs permissions make sure it is executable (checkbox) and then go to terminal type cd filelocation/ and after that type ./filename [09:21] Seven-7: as in does the file work on other computers, on windows, have you checked it personally? [09:21] Seven-7: it is highly likely the file is corrupt [09:22] <><><><> [09:22] UBN2: something we can help you with? [09:22] ah, I just found the apply button :D [09:23] InfinityFinder: it depends ;) [09:23] i dont get a splash image when i boot [09:23] all i get is reading blah blah - pass [09:23] ok, i'll ask again: any way i can run the Jaunty beta through a virtual machine?? [09:23] etc. [09:24] UBN2: in #ubuntu+1. And yes you can. [09:24] so how do I start using ubuntu for web development? I assume I either need a server, or one comes with it? [09:24] temp00: can you pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst please [09:24] how can i join ubuntu+1? i typed "/join #ubuntu+1" but nothing happened... [09:25] somehow after the last few updates or removing gXine or something, my headset no longer records audio === Leibniz is now known as micha_tucker [09:25] tehbaut1: get ubuntu server, it comes with a lamp stack. I use dyndns.org for a domain and gedit for editing. [09:25] - this is really inconvenient given I could be saving money on calls by using skype [09:25] tehbaut1: just install apache and stick your files in /var/www [09:25] would anyone have any idea why this is the case? [09:25] how can i get record to work again [09:25] tehbaut: no need to install ubuntu server as well as desktop [09:26] i've tried flicking through open volume control devices but i'm not getting any luck [09:26] UBN2: do you have a list of channels on the left? [09:26] ziroday, http://paste.ubuntu.com/141246/ [09:26] ok, im in thanks [09:26] i've customized it a bit [09:26] when i install something using apt-get install it always downloads from .tw how do i chnage it to bg [09:26] temp00: also can you verify you have the usplash package installed [09:26] gb* [09:27] Jimi_Neutral: System > Administration > Software Sources [09:27] temp00: you're using gutsy? [09:27] ziroday, usplash 0.5.7 and usplash smooth theme installed [09:27] yes gutsy [09:27] Rabbitbunny, ziroday: what's ubuntu server got over just running apache? [09:28] hi there, ive got a few ubuntu pcs on my internal network, is there a way I can send a message from my terminal to all clients(i have the ips) and im root [09:28] tehbaut1: Linux Apache MySQL PHP, Lamp. [09:28] tehbaut1: ubuntu server does a lot of things different to just running apache. But for first time web developers its overkill. Heck you probably don't even need a web server if you are starting off with html [09:28] ziroday: is anyone even in the #ubuntu+1 channel? [09:29] UBN2: I wouldn't know, I'm not in there. But yes there usually is. Be patient [09:29] ok [09:29] UBN2: and no, you can't ask your question here [09:29] ok when i change it to a uk server it downloads some packages then tells me it couldnt download [09:29] Jimi_Neutral: are you in the uk? [09:29] ziroday: I've been developing websites for ~10 years, and I have a few remote centos servers, but haven't made the leap to local dev on linux, so maybe a lamp environment would suit best [09:30] yes [09:30] hi folks, does anyone of you know how to install a 'old' mysql 4.1 on an 8.04 system? apt-get install mysql-server-4.1 does not work. Must i inculde a different source? [09:30] tehbaut1: ah right, apologies in that case :). You don't need to install ubuntu server and you can run the LAMP stack beside an ubuntu desktop install quite happily [09:30] ziroday: What do you mean? They do leave folders behind, I suppose [09:30] ok changed it and it is still downloading partclone from http://free.nchc.org.tw [09:30] ziroday, help please [09:31] temp00: I'm looking, gimme a sec :) [09:31] tehbaut1: You'll love a local server, Seriously, I'd trade my dog for it. [09:31] joker2048_: it probably wouldn't install, what is the specific reason for 4.1? [09:31] Jimi_Neutral: just do "Select Best Server" [09:31] ziroday, k thanks :) [09:31] mobi-sheep: sorry, what is your original question? [09:31] well, it will beat those nights when the net connection fails :D [09:31] Rabbitbunny: :D just buy some simple hardware [09:31] but it would be faster too, I bet :) [09:31] different applications will not work with mysql5 ... old stuff but must work [09:32] ziroday: I was a late responsive to convo earlier. It was about uninstalling packages. Do they leave configuration files behind. [09:32] ziroday: you said I still don't need to install ubuntu server, so what are my options? [09:32] mobi-sheep: yes they do [09:32] tehbaut1: you can install the lamp stack right inside an ubuntu install, and apache and family will run very happily [09:32] ziroday: How would you clean out? I use sudo aptitude purge -- but they do leave folder behind, and possibly some conf files. [09:32] temp00: sorry, I have no idea [09:32] :/ [09:33] joker2048_: mysql5 is backwards compatible? it should work fine [09:33] anyway, thanks for trying [09:33] ok, so if no-one can help me could someone at least point me in the right direction to finding a solution? [09:33] ziroday: sounds good, so I assume the install process starts with apt-get something? [09:33] temp00: actually, can you append splash to line 134 [09:33] i have no idea what driver ClearTalk uses [09:33] tehbaut1: gimme 30 secs [09:33] so I wouldn't be able to grep anything out of dmesg [09:33] cool :) [09:33] sarmisak: hm [09:33] actually [09:33] lsusb [09:34] - i'll give that a shot [09:34] tehbaut1: what type of web development are we talking here? Do you need php, mysql, something fancy? [09:34] yeah, php, python and mysql for the most part [09:34] tehbaut1: you should install these, apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cgi php5-common php5-mysql mysql-server mysql-client [09:34] sarmisak: my dev here noted that ot 'must' be 4.1, well i'll try mysql 5 :-) but is it possbiel to install older packages not only mysql in this case? [09:34] tehbaut1: it should also install the dependencies [09:34] tehbaut: sarmisak has the answer [09:34] joker2048_: I don't think so [09:35] ahh lsusb isn't giving me anything! [09:35] <`brandon`> how do i start a perl file [09:35] now, since I'm still running the livecd ...when I hit install, it will take all this and put it right on the HDD, right? [09:35] <`brandon`> or where is perl so i can do the perl file [09:35] install meaning when I install ubuntu [09:35] tehbaut1: no, you will need to reinstall all the packages you have installed on the livecd [09:35] sarmisak: I'm moving from gentoo to ubuntu and with gentoo you can set your flags/mask and everything is fine. No such a mechanism in ubuntu? [09:36] brucelee: perl file.pl [09:36] mmm, ok then [09:36] tehbaut1: first install ubuntu, then apt-get them. [09:36] tehbaut1: so you will have to rerun that command sarmisak gave you [09:36] got it [09:36] hello [09:36] joker2048_: gentoo's emerge system is much different then ubuntu's [09:36] can you not send messages from ubuntu - ubuntu via terminal? [09:36] anyone have a macbook pro with triple boot? [09:36] !anyone | regression [09:36] regression: 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? [09:36] AdvoWork: SSH? [09:36] hello [09:36] I am new here [09:37] joker2048_: I don't think that you'll suffer much about migrating from 4.1 to 5.x [09:37] tehbaut: there is an idea sitting in brainstorm related to that, you can upvote it if you feel strongly about it [09:37] sarmisak: y ok then... thx for guiding my in the right direction [09:37] is it normal when i reload when i have changed servers for the warning "Could not download all repo index's"? [09:38] Jimi_Neutral: no, please pastebin the error [09:38] joker2048_: no problem, good luck ;) [09:38] ziroday: oh, you mean installing the livecd's currently running instance to the disk?

[09:38] Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [09:38] gotcha [09:38] okay. I cannot make a triple boot because when I'm installing linux in a dual boot machine (mac+win) it broke the Windows partition [09:38] Jimi_Neutral: *pastebin*, did you do "Select the best server" like I told you to? [09:38] t'would be nice... but assuming I'll probably not need to again after this point :D [09:38] Rabbitbunny, what do you mean? [09:39] AdvoWork: Do you mean some sort of chat, or some sort of remote control? [09:39] i did do select best server and i will have to o find out what pastebin means, as i said when i entered i am a total newb to linux [09:39] anyway, I think it's time to proceed with installing ubuntu ...back later B) [09:39] !pastebin | Jimi_Neutral [09:39] Jimi_Neutral: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[09:41] AdvoWork: There's a program called OpenSSH that will let you remotely login to a client and run commands, Or, you could run an IRC server yourself and use that, Or you could write a small program, A million ways to do it. [09:41] creator-cdsc: you can forward X with ssh, or use irssi [09:41] ziroday, i added the splash. will see on next boot [09:41] temp00: great [09:42] local loco? [09:42] Jimi_Neutral: you are in the uk correct? [09:42] creator-cdsc: With the local user?

[12:57] tehbaut_: you don't run the partition in wine, only specific win programs which you normally have to install inside wine [12:57] tehbaut_: yes, in principle, although i believe the wine folks recommend that you don't do that :-) [12:57] <|f|> cristiklein: thank you :) [12:57] !chinese [12:57] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道: #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [12:57] |f|: np, you should add this to your ~/.vimrm file :D [12:57] so can I take my existing partition and package it into a VM disk for wine?

[12:58] tehbaut_: yes, but for this you would use kvm and qemu, virtualization... not wine. [12:59] lenorand, never heard of qemu [13:00] so wine isn't a full VM then?

[14:44] hey all, what would cause Ubuntu 8.04 to suddenly lose the CD drive? [14:44] sure nicklas_ , i can try 8.10. how do i upgrade with just the iso? [14:44] vegpuff-> none that i know of, [14:44] n8tuser: the only way to upgrade is to be connected to internet? [14:45] i dont know if you can upgrade with iso [14:45] vegpuff: by what I have seen so far of 9.04 I am not sure if I can recommend loads of people upgrade to it. however once Ext4 is nice and properly stable, that will be something [14:45] Like if I go into K3b it says that there is no CD drive, but after a reboot, k3b recognizes it. [14:45] vegpuff-> nope, i strongly suggest a fresh install, no upgrage!

[14:59] ActionParsnip1: thanks [15:00] ActionParsnip1, the point is i do not know what is the problem, suddenly 1 kernel says " error reading file" and the other what i said before [15:00] [ActionParsnip1] i do not know if the problem was installing grub2 [15:00] eagle: 9.04 is still a development version, and for real servers 8.04 is recommended, and if you just want to say run Apache or a LAMP set up you can do it in a desktop version [15:00] !lamp > eagle [15:00] eagle, please see my private message [15:00] but it booted ok some times before === Hasnain is now known as hasnain[dead] === hasnain[dead] is now known as Hasnain [15:01] When i get to a certain part in the Clonezilla process it tells me that "The NTFS in this partition is corrupted: /dev/sda1" Im not sure which drive this is pertaining to, the ubuntu server drive or the drive that the image is being taken from [15:01] plz help me [15:02] !helpme | rickbyrnes [15:02] rickbyrnes: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:02] pablo__: use the guide and reinstall grub === blinkin_the_grem is now known as blinkin_gremlin [15:02] rickbyrnes: nevermind, I just saw above you did ask first [15:03] is it possible to use the update manager to update to 9.04 Beta from 8.10? [15:03] blinkin_gremlin: yes, and not really the best idea [15:03] blinkin_gremlin: not until 9.04 has been officially released [15:03] stupid question but is there any easy way to put someones nick in a message without having to type the whole thing and how? [15:03] Gnea: that's not true [15:03] [ActionParsnip1] are you really sure the problem is grub ? how do i reinstall if i can access my system [15:03] sebsebseb: oh? [15:03] blackest_knight: Type the first two or three letters, then press Tab. [15:03] Gnea: 8.10 can be upgraded to 9.04 beta [15:03] sebsebseb: kk what happens if i skip 8.10? [15:04] sebsebseb: well, we should tell people how or not advocate it [15:04] grawity: thanks i appreciate that its been a long term annoyance [15:04] pablo__: well grub loads first before linux, so if you dont get a successful linux boot, its grubs fault === Hasnain is now known as hasnain[dead] [15:04] Gnea: yep not advocate it [15:04] (8.10 gave me initramfs errors from the disk) [15:04] hello every one [15:04] sebsebseb: :) [15:05] Gnea: I may start telling people to go and put 8.04 on more, because of what I have seen so far of 9.04. and how 8.04 is long term suppourt and 8.10 isn't [15:05] my hardware driver app wont load my driver [15:05] [ActionParsnip1] but grub passes ok, then i see the kernel lines, and then the initramfs command line, i just try to understand [15:05] i mean, is it an issue of stuff included in 8.10 that 9.04 builds on? [15:06] I'm looking for some help, I just installed ubuntu 8.10 on my imac 24", and I'm unable to chose full 1900x1280 resolution I want [15:06] pablo__: then the kernel isnt being referenced properly in the grub config [15:06] sebsebseb: yes, but this is a test server, and i want to run 9.04 =) [15:06] sebsebseb: yeah, 8.10 is geared more towards people who can handle the changes [15:06] oh, you're saying not a good idea to update to 9.04 beta, just wait until final release [15:06] [ActionParsnip1] but the problem is suddenly in 2 kernels [15:06] Anyone know anythign about Clonezilla? [15:06] blinkin_gremlin: right. it still has a lot of bugs. [15:06] but with different results [15:06] Jimi_Neutral: what about it? [15:07] blinkin_gremlin: if you want slightly more newer features then sure ok 9.04 beta, however those features aren't really worth it. plus for the main new feature Ext4 suppourt, you have to clean install anyway, or get limited suppourt by doing something to Ext3. and since 9.04 is beta and so bugs, best to wait untill final before deciding to get it or not [15:07] blinkin_gremlin: a lot of the new features often come with a price: things break easily. [15:08] Well I have installed it and I am trying to do a test clone. It goes ok and then it gets to when it starts to take the image...then i get an error saying that "The NTFS in this partition is corrupted: dev/sda1" [15:08] I have tried two different laptops which I knwo are fine [15:08] But I get the same error both times [15:08] pablo__: in any others? [15:08] Gnea: yeah geared towards people that can handle the changes, such as myself [15:08] in other 1 === rdw200169 is now known as rdw200169`afk [15:09] just says " error reading file" [15:09] Gnea, sebsebseb: gotcha. it looks from the changelog and such that the initramfs error i was seeing had been fixed and i was hoping to move on up to it [15:09] and a file i do not remember [15:09] but i will wait until release [15:09] in the other kernel it does that, and then the pc is halted [15:10] rare [15:10] blinkin_gremlin: it's only a few more weeks anyhow [15:10] maybe the grub2 [15:10] any idea Gnea? [15:10] next question: any advantages of using Parallels over Win4Lin? [15:10] blinkin_gremlin: your on a Mac???? [15:11] n [15:11] Can u please tell me how to run Lex and yacc program???? [15:11] blinkin_gremlin: well Paralllels is only for Mac I thought, you just said your not on a Mac? [15:11] pablo__: Look into reinstalling grub over the top of itself and the kernels will be configured coreectly [15:12] sebsebseb: i could be reading it wrong, it does not appear that is the case. they have a windows/linux package, but it might be that it needs mac hardware [15:12] will investigate further [15:12] blinkin_gremlin: ok well don't use either of those then :) http://www.virtualbox.org and get the binary for Linux hosts, if you want USB suppourt, otherwise you can get the OSE (Open Source Edition) from Ubuntu's repo [15:12] blinkin_gremlin: if your on a PC Virtualbox yep [15:12] souvik: you'll want to check out "flex" and "bison" [15:13] efterlyser en bra ftp-client för terminalen. vill ha lite "semi-gui" vill ha 2 fält. [15:13] blinkin_gremlin: the manual is good and suppourt channel is here #vbox and when you make the virtual hard disk, put dynamically expanding, so it does not waste loads of pshyical hard disk space. and you can make that wahtever size that is availalbe, it's the size the guest vm thinks it has [15:13] souvik: how about telling us what you want to do? [15:14] blinkin_gremlin: that is manual you download from their site [15:14] [ActionParsnip1] y think i will use a live cd , mount, and chroot to that /dev, i think i will have to grub packages to install in the live cd, and i will not need to download from internet [15:14] Anyone know any good conversion spftawre for .dat to mp3 for Ubuntu, also .IFO [15:14] sebsebseb: kk sounds good. any limitations on windows support (ie stability related)? === rp3__ is now known as rp3 [15:15] i get wrong architecture i386 .. . when i try to install some deb .. why? what to do ? i am a newbie to ubuntu [15:15] blinkin_gremlin: not exactly, maybe it won't just go full screen, but it should be able to. also the guest additions might be useful that get installed in the vm. vm's may be a bit slower than a hard disk install. how much RAM you got? [15:15] trying to install Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10 also happens with flock [15:15] hbekel: I want to run lex and yacc program.....So wat package should I install [15:15] I am trying to install a program on my windows mobile phone but it says I need activesync... is there a way to install from ubuntu? [15:16] blinkin_gremlin: you can find out more about it in the manual and #vbox [15:16] blinkin_gremlin: ,but that is the one most of us here, will recommend [15:16] blinkin_gremlin: there's also VMware player and server and such [15:16] souvik: flex and bison, as i mentioned before. these are the gnu versions of the software you want. [15:16] blinkin_gremlin: qemu etc [15:16] anyone [15:17] tripoa: not avialbe in Ubuntu repo? [15:17] anyone here have nvidia and ubuntu running together?

[15:58] In my jaunty install XDG_DATA_DIR doesn't exist, but according to the gmpc maintainer it's supposed to. Is there some package I need to have installed to get it by default? [15:58] tried re-burning ubuntu? [15:58] !jaunty | avuton [15:58] avuton: 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. [15:58] hello [15:58] mplayer/mencoder... if it can play it, it can convert it... [15:58] i used a program on my vista box to burn an image [15:58] RedMushroom, are you basically drag and dropping the ISO on the new CD ? [15:58] greetings all, i've just installed ubuntu 8.04 on my other computer and it boots to command line rather than grub. can anyone help? [15:58] it works on any other computer [15:58] CPT Blood, not sure yet, the person has not given me the CD yet, but its a possibilty.. [15:59] well I would like to setup my 3rd rig on Ubuntu, so no need to boot from cd.... it is installed but I just want to get it runnig similar software that I currently use [15:59] bonjours j'ai ce message d'erreur quand je veux installer un logiciel dans ajouter/supprimé : E: Impossible de verrouiller /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [15:59] E: Unable to lock the download directory [15:59] I am trying to do a clone of an XP installation. This box is ubuntu and I am using clonezilla. Everything has been set up right. When i do a network boot on the laptop it starts Colnezilla np. I run through all the settings until it gets to actually taking the image off the laptop when it then says " The NTFS in this partition is corrupted: /dev/sda1. It then gives me two options, neithe rof which I can understand. Is there anyone who uses Clonezilla [15:59] here that has come across this problem and knows how to sort it? [15:59] Picassotamus: In the link they talk about installing the proprietary driver from the restricted hardware manager which is a gtk program. This option isn't available if I have to install via text-mode and then get thrown to the console without being able to start X... [15:59] n8tuser: "youAPnamehere" is that the logical name that was displayed in lshw ? [15:59] i just need to know what i need to do to create a floppy disk that i can use to bootstrap this old box with [15:59] so i can install from the cd-rom [15:59] oh access point.... [15:59] jedimind -> AP is your access point [15:59] Mer53: Well, I don't what software you're currently using, but googling for linux alternatives of 'em would be a good start... [15:59] Jimi_Neutral: well, what are the two options? [16:00] sry, dont know that [16:00] hi, does someone know a solution to the "power-off" problem (can't power off completely on ubuntu installed on a laptop) [16:00] JediDAH_ ok, so if I use Mencoder/ or Menplayer, there is an option for conversion? [16:00] envyng will setup ati and nvidia drivers and runs in a console. [16:00] n8tuser: why would i hardcode the access point? .... im on a business trip i have like 12 different APs i need to connect to .... [16:00] mencoder is the converter version of mplayer. [16:00] mencoder has more options than you can handle. [16:00] I use gimp on windows and noticed it is part of the package ..cool, will nero install on Ubunty 8.10? [16:00] 1. Try to boot the template machine into MS Windows and run CHKDSK /f or chkdsk /p /r then reboot it twice. [16:00] jedimind: then you should be using network manager .... [16:00] I AM [16:00] just use k3b, you don't need nero [16:00] BUT ITS NOT FUCKING WORKING [16:00] 2. try to let clonezilla use ntfsfix which isnt recomended [16:00] jesus christ [16:01] does "tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors" mean it has ignored the file it could not read and archived the rest? [16:01] hi, does someone know a solution to the "power-off" problem (can't power off completely on ubuntu installed on a laptop) [16:01] jedimind -> because nm dont work sometimes, its not too difficult to change it, [16:01] pleasant fellow [16:01] hello 2 all, my wpa2 encoded wlan network fails to reconnect after suspending. when I have the pwd displayed it is a different one as I provided. but after reboot it is fine... anybody got a clue? [16:01] anybody know how to create a startup disk for ubuntu, so i can install it from a cd-rom? [16:01] RedMushroom, here http://linux.simple.be/tools/sbm [16:02] Mer53: I'd google, but I don't think so. Btw, if you want to get someone's attention, spell out his nickname in your message [16:02] "install from a cdrom"? sounds like any ISO out there. [16:02] or is the preinstalled or ..........god you guys are way too good at typing ......... I cant keep up with anything you guys say! does it slow down here at all? [16:02] Jimi_Neutral: first option sounds like your best bet [16:02] RedMushroom, and this for the howto https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmartBootManagerHowto [16:02] I dont know which is the template machine...if it is the one with clonezilla on that doesnt even have windows on it and if it is the other one that im taking the image from how can there be a corrupt NTFS partition when it is woeking fine [16:02] RedMushroom, system-> administration 0> create a usb startup [16:02] nado: ok, but what boot image am i going to need? [16:02] ...that usb key bood disk generator is really cool. [16:02] can't use a USB stick, the box doesn't support it [16:02] RedMushroom, boot from floppy and keep your cd in there [16:02] ty NekroJakub .........good point, but I think Ill try more googling and come back when I have a more specific problem [16:02] the box only supports booting from the floopy [16:03] RedMushroom, if your CD was burned properly it should detect it [16:03] nado: yeah, but i need to know what to do [16:03] Mer53: Yeah, good luck. [16:03] i've read those pages you linked to, and it doesn't make any since to me [16:03] JEDIDAH_ Thanks man I' ll try Mencoder, and thanks all for help. [16:03] RedMushroom, and allow you to boot from it [16:03] quit abusing time travel for the purposes of finding cheap PC hardware. [16:03] RedMushroom, you've read them before or you read them just now ? [16:03] any they're also for USB's for the most part [16:03] yes, i was in here yesterday [16:03] is the template machine the one i am taknig the image form [16:04] from* [16:04] Does anyone here know how can I set up my OpenOffice as sort of an exception for my custom desktop theme? Because I changed my desktop theme to black background, white text and now it's the same in OpenOffice, not very practical for printing... [16:04] Jimi_Neutral: well, a corrupt partition doesn't necessarily preclude the operating system from functioning. it's just that clonezilla has found the error and refuses to do any more damage by copying it :-) a number of linux boxes will show minor filesystem damage when examined with fsck, but work perfectly well. [16:04] Jimi_Neutral: yes, the template machine is the one providing the image. [16:04] and it seems that nobody understand what i'm asking [16:04] RedMushroom, i'm sorry man, but the howto is straight forward [16:04] what is the best language to write scripts? [16:04] it tells you exactly step by step how to do it... if you can't follow that.. nobody will help you.. [16:04] I NEED TO USE AN XP BOX TO CREATE A 3 and 1/4" STARTUP FLOPPY TO GET ANOTHER BOX TO INSTALL FROM A CD-ROM!! [16:05] * RedMushroom is getting really frustrated [16:05] admin_masu3701, whichever is most comfortable [16:05] RedMushroom: drop the caps! [16:05] .. [16:05] I prefer python of perl [16:05] RedMushroom, that's what the howto does !!! [16:05] sipior: crap lol [16:05] Some peolp like bash scripting [16:05] Don't get frustrated Redmushroom, patience is a virtue.. :) [16:05] How can three different machines all be corrupt [16:05] hello all, i need to set up a dual boot system should i install ubuntu first or xp first [16:06] RedMushroom, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManager [16:06] Did I say something wrong? [16:06] He quit [16:06] ubunewbie, xp [16:06] RedWar: don't worry [16:06] man some people want help without the minimum effort of following a guide [16:06] hello ....How i set up my netstick internet (usb) ? [16:06] set up xp forst [16:06] ubunewbie, I think is better to install windows first, if you install it after ubuntu Windows will erease the mbr and install its own [16:06] hatter243, thanks [16:07] Jimi_Neutral: well, the problem may lie with clonezilla, i suppose. you can try partimage, see if that works better for you. [16:07] it is fussier [16:07] hi. i bad speak english. [16:07] Thanks Ocean, yes I hear you Nado. [16:07] I have tried to download the partimage package earlier and it wouldnt download. Says package cannot be found [16:07] :( you have a Maple 11 for linux? [16:07] which was anothe problem [16:07] hacker, wich lenguage do you speak? :) [16:08] Jimi - Try parted [16:08] russian) русский [16:08] Jimi_Neutral: you might check if clonezilla has a forum or the like, see if anyone else has reported the same problem. i assume google was silent on your issue as well?

[16:09] definitely! [16:09] don't hesitate [16:09] couldnt find package dbrl-partimage......wth [16:10] Why to rush? [16:10] onats, do you have an nvidia card ? [16:10] ATI [16:10] ubunewbie, I think not if you're a newbie. I would get used to linux now and then reinstall in April [16:10] Jimi_Neutral: it's just called partimage, yes? [16:10] dbrl-partimage [16:10] onats, ok was wondering how the update goes with nvidia [16:10] had a lot of problems with nvidia card before 8.10 [16:10] which is the best method to recompile linux kernel ? [16:10] got fed up, bought an ATI card [16:10] Jimi - simply "parted" [16:10] onats, it's fine now :) [16:10] ubunewbie: I agree with hatter243. Still enough breakage in 9.04 to make life difficult.

I suspect that item deleted by CCleaner altered how GRUB functions. [16:11] Picassotamus, try and failed :( [16:11] tonymcm: i'm fairly certain parted only edits partition tables, and doesn't duplicate partitions like partimage does. or has that changed recently?

[16:12] Jimi_Neutral: on my 8.10 system, the package is partimage. which are you running? [16:12] [pablo], but moving the mouse does ? [16:12] well the thing is i followed a tutorial on how to install Clonezilla and it had a list of progs needed to run [16:12] im running 8.10 [16:12] Sipior - I think you are right. I thought thats what he wanted to do? [16:13] Jimi_Neutral: written for some other system... [16:13] no written for 8.10 [16:13] hemanth: you will need to ask a specific question then for help, or maybe put your errors into a pastebin [16:13] tonymcm: no, he was running clonezilla to begin with. [16:13] i will give u the link === Guest14935 is now known as Sqyber [16:13] ? [16:14] Picassotamus, http://pastebin.com/d28d370ad got tht when i made "make" [16:14] i must admit though, he calls 8.10 Heron http://packratstudios.com/index.php/2008/04/20/how-to-setup-clonezilla-on-linux-ubuntu-quick-start-guide/ [16:14] <[pablo]> nado: yes, moving the mouse works because X loads some generic mouse module to take care of it... but it won't use advanced synaptics features like touchpad scrolling [16:14] ding ding ding. Its time to wake up... [16:14] well he says Hardy but u know what i mean [16:14] [pablo], check my private message [16:14] Picassotamus, i even tried this http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu [16:14] Jimi_Neutral: he must mean 7.10, since 8.10 wasn't out in April 2008 :-) [16:15] ah ha! [16:15] well im newb to linux so i didnt realise that lol [16:15] im trying to setup my Motorola S9 in my ubuntu (its bluetooth) I followed the instructions to add data in the .asound config file. But I don't see the "bluetooth" option in Audacious. Im I missing something? [16:15] Jimi_Neutral: your trying to do a backup of Ubuntu? [16:16] so im guessing that is where all my problems lie....the fact i have followed a tutorial for 7.10 and i have 8.10 [16:16] i have a laptop and my internet connection is a a diaalup modem...how i can setit up ? [16:16] anyone got experience with usb touchscreens ? my mouse moves the wrong way when ever i move it [16:16] no im trying to take an image of the installation of windows from the laptop so i can then clone it to about 60 other laptops [16:16] !dialup | Tcl [16:16] Tcl: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [16:17] ubottu: those instructions are slightly complicated; one of them though says to reinstall GRUB by reinstalling ubuntu (but skipping some of the steps); would that work? [16:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:17] oh.... [16:17] on another note, is it possible to turn off all the damn notifications in this channel? Im using Xchant for gnome [16:17] RassBariaw, lol, that was fun :) [16:17] Xchat [16:17] yeah [16:18] So any idea sebsebseb, sipior [16:18] Jimi_Neutral: well, the tutorial covers setting up a bootserver using clonezilla, which isn't quite what you want, i think. [16:18] Jimi_Neutral: any idea for what? I missed most of it [16:18] Ropechoborra: do you know a simpler way for someone that does not know unix commands? [16:18] RassBariaw: SGD (super grub disk) is a nice tool to restore/repair grub. See http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [16:18] RassBariaw, yeap. Wait me i'll search it for you [16:19] Jimi_Neutral: why not simply install the partimage package from the main repository? the documentation is clear, and you can set up a partimage server to do what you want. [16:19] !F-Prot [16:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about F-Prot [16:19] hmm [16:19] well i would but there are a few problems, i have no idea what im doing and when i try to download partimage it says E: Couldnt find package dbrl-partimage [16:19] oCean: would SGD repair it? [16:20] RassBariaw: you can do it using ubuntu live cd too [16:20] Jimi_Neutral: have you tried "sudo apt-get install partimage"? how have you tried to download partimage? [16:20] and yeah i thoguht the tutorial wasnt wuite what i wanted....you see all this has been given to me to do by my boss and im an MCP not a feckin Linux god [16:21] wtv: when I attempted to use the CD that I burned, I was unable to install, so I downloaded the whole file to my hard disk and used WUBI; [16:21] Jimbo__, I'm sorry. have you tried to see someone about that? [16:21] somebody knows a way to empty the trash when you shutdown? [16:21] Jimi_Neutral, ^^^^ [16:21] wtv: but, I see instructions for using the CD but some of the instructions are confusing.....

[16:21] exactly liek that sipior sudo apt-get install dbrl-partimage [16:21] Picassotamus, :( ? [16:22] Jimi_Neutral: no, without the "dbrl-" [16:22] RassBariaw: lemme giv you a link...

[16:48] that i will defo get into when i start using a linux box at home, at the moment though i am in at the deep end and need to get this done before he shouts at me even more [16:48] i like linux i really do, but im a gamer first and foremost [16:49] dual: dont count on it. [16:49] Jimi_Neutral, so write some games for linux [16:49] dual: It's almost impossible to be 100% compatible with a closed format... though I think the Word document format is now public, so I guess 90% compatibility. [16:49] dual: i'm sure it won't be 100%. usually some tweaking will be necessary, although it's less of a problem than it was... [16:49] hah im a gamer not a coder [16:49] Incorrect if you teach me how to ;P [16:49] Jimi_Neutral, it's possible, but often difficult, to get a lot of games (including windows only ones) running in linux using things like Wine [16:49] Thanks. :) [16:49] simenkm, i am learning how to write games at the moment [16:49] dual: i would ask that in the openoffice channel. but i think you should be fine there are a few items with new versions of office that dont work. but i wuold ask in the open office channel for a better answer [16:49] i am an MCP, i know nothing of coding lol [16:49] I am still a linux newb, Installed my first Linux box about 3 monthes ago [16:50] But its fun, atm i am trying to get my FreeNX working out [16:50] Ok ;) [16:50] me too, and I can't go bak to windows ;) [16:50] I love linux now. [16:50] U should try UBUBTU as well. [16:50] ububtu? [16:51] Ubuntu sorry typo [16:51] ya im using that [16:51] Well I will defo look into it once I have this done and have bought a new SSD but at the moment i think im learning enough trying to get this done for my boss [16:51] Atm i have a Ubuntu server, wich i just installed freenx on to get a Gui [16:51] id like to try out slackware eventually, but I'm not smart enough with the terminal yet. [16:51] hi.. is there a possibility to make openoffice use GVFS? my problem in particular is the following: I mount a samba share via GVFS (including authentication). Now every time I want to open or save a file with OOo I get asked the user/pw-combo (the dialog is from OOo). Is there a way to avoid this? [16:51] I think it's cool the slack in 'slackware' comes from the church of the subgenius hehe [16:51] if i was using norton ghost this would have been done by now lol, i know im sorry but this is stressing me out [16:51] ick no norton! [16:52] sorry, just against norton ;0 [16:52] well i finsih work in a bit so no more time to do it, but basically im just having trouble getting clonezilla to actually clone the copy of windows on my other laptop [16:53] Gnomie: Norton apps are quite nice, only the antivirus sucks. (I have heard good things about NAV 2009, but it still sucks.) [16:53] Gnomie: one thing that helped me learn terminal is to install Ubuntu server and take that from a server install to basically a desktop install but installing all the needed parts. didnt teach me but 2% of what you can do but it helped me get more comfortable. [16:53] ah ok, ya I'm not aware with the other programs.

[16:56] Gnomie: /join #channelname [16:56] Gnomie its just like mirc ;) [16:56] oh so I don't have to connect to any network ;) [16:56] Gnomie: If you have used mIRC, then this is much like it - same commands, same concepts, etc. [16:57] Gnomie: err, that depends on whether your channel is on the same network as this (this is freenode.net) [16:57] I know, I sound stupid, just like I got the channel, I thought for some reason I had to connect to the domain name network first, I guess I fucked that up [16:57] ciao!

[16:59] Flyover: that depends entirely on your router [16:59] Flyover, what do you mean "open a port" Did you install a firewall? [16:59] i have a ovh server and its blocking port 6667 [16:59] !ntfs > ellar [16:59] ellar, please see my private message [16:59] Flyover: Ubuntu isn't blocking anything - your router may be [17:00] is there any software available for linux that is similar to snapfish online photo card creator [17:00] its a server it dosnt go tho my router [17:00] Flyover: so it's running on your Ubuntu box, and you think your Ubuntu is preventing it from accepting incoming connections...? [17:01] Flyover: what are you needing to open a port for? [17:01] Flyover, If you dont have any firewall installed, then the server that provides you internet is blocking that port for you. [17:01] well i cant connect to a private IRC netowrk [17:01] and i think its becouse the port is not open [17:01] nonsense. [17:01] is it safe to delete all ~/.fr-* folders? [17:01] Flyover, freenode is port 6667, you are talking to us right now :) [17:01] hi all [17:02] well is the ircd.conf [17:02] ah [17:02] cousteau: i don't have any such folders, what are they? [17:02] flyover: Just to verify. YOu are trying to connect to a private IRC network and you are being blocked. [17:02] I'm using Hardy and it temporarily unzips there archivers [17:02] seems that Intrepid uses /tmp instead [17:02] wers: open a terminal, type twf and [17:02] it keeps saying connecting and does nothering else [17:02] cousteau: ah, i don't know, i use KDE whose archiver probably does it differently [17:02] cousteau: those are from file-roller [17:03] Flyover: except you're currently connected to an irc network so it can't be your computer [17:03] shouldn't them be unzipped on /tmp? [17:03] saerg, thanks. kept trying "thewidgetfactory" [17:03] FLyover: simple question. do you now the private network is up and running?

[17:04] flyover are you one the same neetwork as your home computer? [17:04] my home computer is yes [17:04] and the ping is working [17:04] Flyover : if your server is up and running and u cant connect to it is the user line or Client block access setup on your ircd.conf [17:04] cousteau: if you haven't openend files from within an archive you can delete those directories [17:05] ok [17:05] is there a way I can set /tmp instead of ~ as temporal folder? [17:05] how do i stop the ping [17:05] keeping going over and over [17:05] Flyover, Ctrl + C [17:05] thanks [17:05] lol [17:06] yes the ping works fine [17:06] :) [17:06] You told me that your home computer is using ubuntu without a firewall right? [17:06] Is there a simple way to pipe a video stream to HD Tv (Dualview?) [17:06] Flyover: you can also run "ping -c 10 www.google.com" - the -c 10 will count only 10 pings and then stop [17:06] i just dont understand why its still not conncting it only connects to this network and not others [17:07] that worked [17:08] how can i see whether i'm connected via 100mbit or 1gbit-lan?

[17:24] rtorrent: right, but we want to know the name of the SERVER PROGRAM, not the name you gave to the HOST [17:24] without a partition.... [17:24] rtorrent: you know, the daemon, the program that you use to actually serve IRC [17:24] RassBariaw: Wubi puts Ubuntu inside Windows [17:24] sebsebseb, i have installed ubuntu-restricted,i tryed with gstream too and nothing [17:24] InspectHerGadget: I am not exactly sure, what you want to do [17:24] sebsebseb: does that mean I cannot use VirtualBox? [17:24] the program i am useing is xchat and the netowrk is P2P-NETWORK [17:25] rtorrent, I think you should contact your network admin, or the person who is in charge of the config of the server [17:25] rtorrent: so you've got a CLIENT and you're trying to connect to an EXTERNAL network? [17:25] RassBariaw: you can run the livecd in virtualbox [17:25] RassBariaw: Wubi puts Ubuntu inside the Windows partition, however you can try Ubuntu from inside Windows, by using the ISO [17:25] knetworkmanager isnt installed by default?

[17:27] RassBariaw: you install Ubuntu from the ISO in a virtual hard disk using Virtualbox [17:27] RassBariaw: no, you can directly run the livecd in virtualbox [17:27] LjL, thats why i told him to contact the person in charge, since he wont be able to modify the config file by his own [17:27] hey [17:27] genii: thanks [17:27] imn not runnin a irc server [17:27] im tryin to connect to 1 [17:27] rtorrent: if you're not, then you can't do anything about it except inform the person who *is* running it of the issue. [17:28] pffffff..man the server do not let u in then ( u r banned or u need a pass or is bad setup) [17:28] but the irc server is working fine as there are about 200 people on it [17:28] saerg: what about the updates? do they run from the cd? [17:28] it just dosnt connect from my ovh server to the irc server [17:29] rtorrent, ovh ? [17:29] ye [17:29] rtorrent: yes, that's because *connections from localhost are disabled*. you need to inform the *administrator of the server* of that. [17:29] Whats that ? =) [17:29] sebsebseb: I feel confused; I cannot run the Wubi installation of Ubuntu in VirtualBox? [17:29] !eee [17:29] Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [17:29] RassBariaw: yes you don't use wubi [17:29] its a server host [17:29] !wubi [17:29] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting.

[17:31] sebsebseb: if I understand, that means, try for a while, then partition and install in the new partition? [17:31] ah kk ill speak to the hoster of the channel [17:31] RassBariaw: at the moment you only got Windows on a computer yes? [17:31] !exit [17:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about exit [17:31] I missed the answer to the question, but Now iknow thanks xinerama [17:31] thanks for all your help guys [17:31] sebsebseb: I have Vista, and a Wubi install of Ubuntu 8.10 [17:31] RassBariaw: you can run Ubuntu inside Windows by, downloading the ISO, and running it in virtualbox [17:32] hi [17:32] * grawity greets Cliffer.

[17:32] hi anyone can help me with GRUB ? [17:32] giaco: "nohup programname &" [17:32] RassBariaw: you can use Windows and Ubuntu at the same time, by using virtualbox [17:32] 你好 [17:33] hello [17:33] !screen > giaco (giaco, see the private message from ubottu) or use this for more control [17:33] !cn | Tianlong [17:33] Tianlong: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道: #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [17:33] LjL, but it's running now, I can't stop it [17:33] sky_1: What problem do you have with GRUB? [17:33] how i can point GRUB that other systems are installed ? [17:33] (not windows) [17:33] RassBariaw: however Windows as the host OS hummmmm [17:33] giaco: try Ctrl+Z, it might put it into backgroup [17:33] sebsebseb: but, can I use VirtualBox on a Wubi install of Ubuntu? [17:33] Does. Xinerama work on hArdy? [17:33] thanks ljl [17:33] * axoin is listening to RassBariaw [17:33] RassBariaw: good for trying, but then you should put Ubuntu on a hard disk for real :) and do Windows in the vm maybe/probably [17:33] LjL, but then it would be closed after I close the terminal [17:33] i had my chinese entry on, lol [17:34] Does anybody know anything about ssh tunelling through your home computer on your laptop that's miles away? This would be very useful when I go to uni [17:34] giaco: not if you use "disown" [17:34] RassBariaw: your wubi install, won't boot up in virtualbox [17:34] sebsebseb: yes; Vista installed first, then I just used Wubi yesterday and installed [17:34] sky_1: You need to add them to /boot/grub/menu.lst. [17:34] I know nvidia isn't supported here since its not open source but could someone remind me what channel is for linux and nividia? [17:34] I just did an upgrade to Jaunty and now when I login to X something is spawning hundreds of nautilus apps...any suggestion what to look for? [17:34] amigo_rich: need to know how i can point grub that other systems are installed [17:34] LjL, can you explain me the disown syntax? [17:34] Can one do a OEM install with an alternate CD? [17:34] how should it work? [17:34] how can i find a folder in the terminal? [17:34] RassBariaw: why wubi? ,because you didn't know how to partition your hard disk, for a real proper dual boot? [17:34] sky_1, modifying in the menu.lst, adding a root device, and kernels it should load [17:34] sebsebseb: I started virtualbox, but it prompted me for partition information so I cancelled.

[17:46] trimalap: I think that if you tell the compiler you are using a 64-bit CPU, it will compile with native 64-bit code. so you probably want to tell it you are using a 32-bit CPU instead (even if you aren't).

I am having compilation issues with an app, and i have installed the latest version of boost, but still I get this error: http://pastebin.com/f118c13ec any ideas how I can get the asio installed properly?

Southparkstudios does not work for me, but youtube and the ilk does. [17:50] PhotoJim, Okay. ;) [17:50] erUSUL: oh, is it firefox-specific? is there a workaround with a different browser, e.g. epiphany? [17:50] is there an xserver setting I need to modify? [17:50] I've tried shutting down compiz too [17:50] no avail [17:50] sotec_prod: 64bit?

I have the 64bit version installed because like I said, some sites work, some dont. [17:52] PhotoJim: i only was ponting out that « 64-bit Java support is still a work in progress.» is a false statement or at least greatly missleading [17:52] sotec_prod: let me find it for ya [17:52] also need a website updated every hour socks.any idea? [17:52] erUSUL: I don't think it's greatly misleading. 64-bit Java doesn't seem to work on all sites. 32-bit does. [17:52] hey who was they guy that had twinview I was talking to earlier?

[18:20] abbishekii: try sudo killall x. or maybe init 1 [18:20] my server use postfix and dovecot [18:20] alaz:doing sudo init 2 doesnt result in anything, neither can i run that driver [18:20] LjL: I think so [18:21] 안녕하세요 [18:21] Hi [18:21] * grawity greets raven__.

[18:24] ok thks [18:24] don01, Good afternoon to you as well [18:24] don01: ok what would you like help with? [18:24] LjL: uncommented atm [18:24] Hi all, my wireless keyboard keeps falling asleep every 15 min or so. I want to create a cron job using sudo hidd --search that will cause the system to look for my keyboard like every 20 min. How can I do it when the command calls for sudo which means a password would be needed? [18:24] Is it true the root account is disabled on 7.04? [18:25] Nothin atm I am just checking out things and watching to learn ... [18:25] LjL: I also tried a dll.conf with each one individually [18:25] Is that okay if I sit here and learn [18:25] tsai1: add it to root's crontab I guess: sudo crontab -e -u root [18:25] saerg:what is virtual terminal...how do i acces it? [18:25] blizzkid: uhm, i think you should only leave one uncommented - comment out the others. you could try using "epson2" first, i guess. also, comment out everything in epson2.conf, and instead add a line saying "user 0x4b8 0x841" [18:25] don01: yes, it's okay. [18:25] Thanks grawity [18:25] blizzkid: err, i meant "usb 0x4b8 0x841" [18:26] abhishekiitd: it's in textmode, ctrl+alt+f1 gets you there [18:26] abhishekiitd: Press Ctrl-Alt-F1, or Ctrl-Alt-F2, or Ctrl-Alt-F3, or ..... [18:26] abhishekiitd: Usually, X is on the terminal 7 [18:26] LjL: still no result [18:26] abhishekiitd, and don't forget Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back !! [18:26] anyone know? [18:26] blizzkid: try the same with epson and epkowa (one at a time - remember to comment out everything else in their .conf) [18:27] blizzkid: also, is that just a scanner or a multifunction device? [18:27] !root > dtech, [18:27] LjL: multifunction [18:27] !root > dtech [18:27] dtech, please see my private message [18:27] durt: vt7 comes up automatically if he restarts gdm [18:27] saerg, true [18:28] brb everyone [18:28] blizzkid: then try "sudo modprobe -r usblp ; sudo modprobe -r usb-storage" (make sure you have no USB drives plugged into anything when you do that) [18:28] so the root account IS disabled! ... anyway to active it? [18:28] LjL: btw, can you test your !something command on me? Because I think ubottu doesn't actually say anything when you get that text appended..... [18:28] !root | dtech [18:28] dtech: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [18:28] dtech: sudo passwd root [18:28] !bot > grawity (grawity, see the private message from ubottu) [18:28] evince print option is disabled, printer is up and test page can be printed, ideas [18:28] !noroot | grawity [18:28] grawity: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [18:28] LjL: when you say no usb drives, you mean only drives, so the multifunction can be plugged in? [18:28] dtech, read the links first before you decide to do that [18:28] does anyone know of a file manager that can change usermodes when needed, prompting for a sudo password? For instance, if I want to move something from my home directory into /var, or /opt, which belong to root? [18:28] Ah, right. [18:29] blizzkid: no, i mean any USB keys, or SD/CF/other flash cards, or USB disk drives [18:29] sudo is NOT a option ... /etc/groups has been modified and user is no longer in sudo group! [18:30] dtech: then reboot into recovery mode and "adduser youruser admin" to re-add yourself to the sudo group [18:30] boa tarde a tds [18:30] !br | junior [18:30] junior: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [18:30] dtech, reboot the computer in single user mode [18:30] dtech, You can do this by changing the grub/lilo boot line [18:30] grawity: Ok, thanks! I'll try it. [18:30] blizzkid: i'm saying to try this because i have a bug where my multifunction can only be used as a printer *or* as a scanner (*or* a card reader) - not both at the same time. so to scan, i need to remove usblp (the printing module) and usb-storage (the card reader module) [18:31] How can I activate the pretty desktop cube? [18:31] LjL: is there a doc on 'that' procedure I have about ten hours experience in the *nix world? [18:31] dtech, This is why computer security depends on the attacker not having physical access to the computer. It's very easy to own a box you're sitting in front of. Just think like an attacker who doesn't have any inside way to achieve root access. [18:31] LjL: I can't remove usb-storage, it's in use (although I have no usb devices in use) [18:31] does anyone know how to mount a folder in ram (ramdisk)?? [18:31] <[T]ank> what is a good program to use with ubuntu and iphone. Want to sync music. [18:31] blizzkid: "lsmod | grep storage" to know what it's using it [18:32] LjL: did that already :) output is usb_storage 81984 1 [18:32] dtech: i'm not sure, but basically you just need to select "recovery mode" in your boot menu and then when it gives you a shell, do "adduser yourusername admin" [18:32] blizzkid: annoying [18:32] LjL: that simple, eh? [18:32] dtech: if it works, yes - otherwise you'll need to manually start it from bash, but try that first [18:33] does the 'admin' do the 'sudo' permissions slao? [18:33] blizzkid: you did use modprobe -r, not rmmod, right? [18:33] dtech: yes, the "admin" group is the users who can use "sudo" [18:33] right LjL [18:33] dtech: unless you've modified /etc/sudoers [18:33] I need help on saving bluetooth profiles on a live USB bootable usb stick I created with UNetbootin? [18:33] -? [18:33] does ubuntu have some shorta disk defrag and or a disk cleanup? [18:33] blizzkid: i could suggest trying "sudo rmmod -f usb-storage", but that might be dangerous [18:34] hey everyone i still cant shut down my x server, and hence still cant install my nvidia driver [18:34] ZING: no, not current versions (defrag - don't know about cleanup) [18:34] LjL: I'm not going to try that one indeed :) [18:34] please tell a surest method to shut it down [18:34] I haven't modded anything ... client system I got stuff admining ...

[18:35] the correct command is: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop [18:35] LjL: I read something about permissions in /proc/... but I don't remember the exact path... All I know is I didn't have that path when I last looked at it [18:35] PhotoJim: and moreover, i have also tried the 2nd one too [18:36] blizzkid: ah, right, there could be that problem too [18:36] abhishekiitd: try LjL's suggestion, but mine should work, I have used it. [18:36] LjL if /etc/sudoers is modded, will the admin permissions added above provide enough to restore the sudoers file? [18:36] blizzkid: i use chmod g+rw /proc/bus/usb/001/00* ; chown root:scanner /proc/bus/usb/001/00* [18:36] blizzkid: your numbers may vary [18:36] dtech: If you haven't removed %admin from /etc/sudoers. [18:36] hello.... is there an 8.10 installer ISO with all the latest updates? I'd like to take the disc to a friend on a slow connection, so I don't want 300mb (or whatever) of updates waiting after the installation [18:36] what he said, dtech. [18:36] LjL: /proc/bus/usb/ is empty [18:37] dtech, also, it was very foolish to modify sudoers without knowing how to fix it. [18:37] blizzkid: err. [18:37] grawity: And if it was ... then what course(s) are needed? [18:37] blizzkid: i have this set up on Debian. i guess they've changed stuff in Ubuntu. [18:37] dtech: boot into single user mode as explained above, then include this line in sudoers: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL [18:38] Hi there! Anybody there who can help me with my dual graphic adapters bug? I have a Radeon mobility HD3200 and HD3470 and in Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 the xsever doesn't start. In 8.04 all is well. Tried everything from using radeonhd, ati, radeon drivers to installing 8.04 , then the original ati drivers and upgrading...nothing works. Anyone with some knowledge about this? [18:38] when setting up netboot instalation, i should append preseed=/path/to/preseed.file ?? [18:38] dtech: also, it's very recommended to use "visudo" for doing that - it checks if sudoers is valid. [18:38] LjL: that's painful :) [18:38] LjL: again ... I changed nothing! ... this is a client system ... this 'could' be a subotage of a previous IT person, or ignorance of an employee there?! [18:38] blizzkid: it might be /sys/bus/usb [18:38] btw. the bug is already filed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/311748 [18:38] kc8pxy: Yes, in the kernel loading line of pxeboot.cfg or so [18:38] also, can Ubuntu's stock 32 bit kernel read 4gb ram?

(I've verified the CD already and it's ok). Any thoughts? [18:40] blizzkid: ah. well, perhaps you don't even need to mount it and you can just use /dev/bus/usb. anyway, try [18:40] LjL: I have already used it to install ubuntu on my computer... [18:40] LjL, :( thanks [18:40] dtech: for that matter, you can also just add "init=/bin/bash" to your kernel line from GRUB to boot into root. [18:41] packetcase: i don't know then [18:41] LjL:thanks your command for x server has worked...but my nvidia demands some kernel compilation..i think i need to get some essential library packages...what is the command for that?

It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [18:59] abhishekiitd: It's not for the same issue, but I did install the drivers using the method you mentioned. It didn't make anything better or worse.

I was searching dc++. linux dcpp wouldn't show up [21:27] oli___: ports need to be open on the computer that's running X [21:27] disregardthat: lsusb [21:27] thanks for your help [21:28] k [21:28] disregardthat: `dmesg | grep Synaptics` , pastebin that [21:28] disregardthat: if ur drivers are synaptic..its /dev/psaux [21:28] asdf_n00b: without idiots .. where would we be lol, born the same way here ;) no problem [21:28] oli___: you should refer to this for best practice, i think: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto#Running GUI Programs [21:28] twodayslate: i wil try..thanks..:) [21:29] lockd: It's not on lsusb, so it's probably AT, right? [21:29] Also, I have no way to pastebin it. [21:29] hey guys, i found tutorial from ubuntu web, it said maximum swap partition is only 2G ! [21:29] voldermot: actually, I don't think /dev/psaux is the right one, should be /dev/input/mice [21:29] There's no output from dmesg | grep synaptics anyways... [21:30] mice or mouse? [21:30] mouse [21:30] lockd: are u talking about the device? [21:30] mouse = big. mice = small... i think [21:30] hmm cat /dev/input/mice does nothing either [21:30] Cat's eating the mice? [21:31] disregardthat: capital S [21:31] disregardthat: try dmesg -i | grep synaptics [21:31] disregardthat: `dmesg | grep Synaptics` [21:31] Did it. [21:31] twodayslate: doesent help..:( [21:31] disregardthat: Have you seen https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Input ? [21:31] links to best partition set-ups please ? [21:31] Looking... [21:32] glitsj16: I think if the kernel isn't loading the right module, setting up X won't help [21:33] Question: I just installed php5, apache, etc. for my 8.10 ubuntu server. The webserver works fine, but there are some php script I need to run via the terminal [21:33] xinput refuses to connect to the server [21:33] lockd: yes that sounds logical indeed [21:33] on CentOS I could do /usr/bin/php myscript.php but how do I do it on ubuntu 8.10? [21:33] carmony: sudo apt-get install php5-cli for those console scripts [21:34] Ah-HA! [21:34] They changed the protocol for adding input devices. [21:34] carmony: err... the same way? [21:34] glitsj16, you're a live saver, thanks! [21:34] I was messing with xorg.conf the whole time, and it uses HAL instead. [21:35] disregardthat: indeed, many web-based forum searches are outdated in that respect, confusing [21:35] it's still possible to configure X without hal. just more annoying [21:35] I think I'll pass. [21:35] yeah [21:35] carmony: very welcome, by the way, the cli version has its own php.ini, so take that into account [21:35] Annoying =/= what I'm looking for, [21:35] . [21:36] So there is no possible way to have remote resources acessed (over VPN) and local resources at the same time if I have the same IP range? [21:36] anyone see an app for ubuntu like Steve Lamber's Self Control app for OS X ? [21:36] for example the local printer 192.168.1.100 with all ports and the remote server 192.168.1.169 with all ports [21:36] how would I do it? [21:36] on this site here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-connect-to-windows-vpn-server-pptp-with-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html it states only use VPN connection for these addresses, if I put the exchange IP in, will that work? [21:36] marctw: well, it will probably add a route for you [21:37] marctw: ubuntugeek has questionable information/documentation [21:37] what should I do? [21:37] marctw: just be aware, it's not an official guide [21:38] marctw: if not this is an example of a VPN route... http://www.pastie.org/433037 [21:38] how to resolve my prob?

[21:45] what is the pan0 interface? [21:46] disregardthat, because you touchpad isn't recognised? [21:46] I changed my mouse pointer to the red one, but the hourglass is still black(and smaller). How can I change this? [21:46] sorry, i was meant to say: How can I find out my external ip address through terminal [21:46] well, yes it is, its for a friend and thats why I dont want to take any chances executing the wrong cmd, otherwise i would [21:46] Trying to fix X, which should't even be broken in the first place, thanks to the genius of hald, is becoming a waste of my time.

[22:03] sebsebseb: he can use whatever desktop he wants, if he likes xubuntu - thats his personal choice to make [22:03] R0b0t1: exaile is for gnome ...works same as amarock ... and is very stable unlike amarock on gnome [22:03] ikonia: indeed [22:03] sebsebseb: well it's my friends wish. i don't even use ubuntu,,, [22:03] but thanks anyway!

Supposedly this can be done after I have enabled SHMConfig. I followed the community ubuntu.com instructions for enabling shmconfig, but it still remains disabled. Any ideas of what's needed? [22:03] ikonia there is an entry that says : usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4 -- usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [22:03] NewtuUbuntu: rats, doesn't look like it's pikcing it up as a mass storage device [22:03] actually, the mouse stopped working after following the instructions, in addition to shmconfig not being enabled [22:04] so I installed Ubuntu x64 8.10, and it will go to the loading screen and then black out, same with kubuntu [22:04] what kernel versiond oes 8.10 use?

[22:20] Travis-42: i'm not familiar with the way Intrepid handles input, but if you do the changes in xorg.conf, then you'll need to restart X - have you done that? [22:21] LjL: yea I've tried that. I'll try posting in the ubuntu forums [22:21] thank you though, LjL [22:21] palomer: it should work if you can have the school PC boot from USB [22:21] palomer: why not just use Fedora? and I guess you can do a Linux apps USB stick, but one that runs Ubuntu and inside Fedora I think not, because there would have to be virtual machine software used [22:21] clam: not sure, maybe start by just grepping the lines with NVIDIA in them [22:21] is it possible to enable all the features of my NF7-s motherboard? are the Ubuntu drivers 'generic' and limited or do they allow decent functionallity? [22:21] clam: nano /var/log/Xorg.0.log and then use mouse to copy? [22:22] clam: grep NVIDIA /var/log/Xorg.0.log [22:22] How do I make a keyboard shortcut start an application? [22:22] http://imagebin.ca/view/LS4Shd1.html [22:22] http://pastebin.com/d4b3fdd69 [22:22] Dreamglider, im booting from my hard disk [22:22] there you go markl_ and Tenorand [22:23] sebsebseb, install fedora on the usb stick? [22:23] On xandros I could make win+f start firefox, for instance. How do I do that in (eee/u)buntu? [22:23] http://imagebin.ca/view/lnPKuc.html [22:23] all I want to do is run my applications on my school computer (where I only have access to my home folder) [22:24] palomer: youll have to see if the pc's at school can boot from USB, if not youll have to enable it in BIOS === desti_T2 is now known as desti [22:24] any ideas Teno? [22:24] markl_? [22:25] palomer: but the BIOS might be password protected mind you [22:25] I don't think I can boot from usb [22:25] anyone any ideas ? [22:25] JessicaParker: the link you gave is weird [22:25] sorry jessicaparker. good luck though. [22:26] palomer: if you can Boot from CD you can make a Boot CD and then have it boot from USB [22:26] how does a boot cd help me? [22:26] JessicaParker: bad screenshot link [22:26] What's "libpulsecore.so.9"? I can't seem to start PulseAudio without it [22:27] palomer: it will boot and give you a boot menu from which you can choose to boot HD`s Floppies CD's and USB's [22:27] .... [22:27] JessicaParker: ok now it loaded up, what's the problem? [22:28] that site is slow [22:28] try imageshack.us [22:28] clam: can you do the same with your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:28] yeah this is not fun. i cant even get a linux machine to install videodrivers correctly >_< [22:28] yeah sure markl_ [22:28] !preload [22:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about preload [22:28] sebsebseb: are you sure ? [22:28] looks ok on mine [22:28] clam: you should see a line that says something like Driver "nvidia" [22:28] Dreamglider, oh, that's an idea [22:28] !info preload [22:28] preload (source: preload): adaptive readahead daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4-5 (intrepid), package size 31 kB, installed size 180 kB [22:28] sebsebseb: 1 is showing i have a connection the other is not [22:28] palomer: i use it on my old laptop that has no USB boot option in the BIOS [22:29] JessicaParker: I just told you it loaded up, but yes it was slow, and what's the problem? signal strength 99% etc [22:29] sebsebseb: so that is going on [22:29] ellar: clamtk found 6 viruses/trojans :D [22:29] what sets the DNS in Jaunty if NetworkManager isn't installed? [22:29] sebsebseb: yes but the other one is showing no connection [22:29] palomer: PLoP Boot Manager v5.0 you can find it here > http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html [22:29] http://pastebin.com/d51874e45 [22:29] there ya go markl_ [22:29] JessicaParker: wlan0.png I am looking at what's the link for the other one? [22:29] Dreamglider, oh, I have to use a special boot cd [22:31] sebsebseb: im on wirelss it is working.........however if i go to the library i have no way of connecting to anything else as its an open network and my network connection cant seem to see anything [22:31] i found it markl_ [22:31] but [22:32] how do i get this card to work correctly then? [22:32] sebsebseb: i configured the current wireless using command line [22:32] clam: from what I can see (I'm not really extremely savvy on this...) it seems like it doesn't even try to load the proprietary driver... [22:32] palomer: if you cant access the BIOS to set usb as a first boot device then yes youll have to use a bootcd but that might not work as most new pc's have a harddisk set as first boot device [22:32] JessicaParker: yeah wireless in Ubuntu tends to need to be configured [22:32] exactly ienorand [22:32] JessicaParker: and you can add connectiosn to network connections, but it probably won't be as simple as just that to connect to one [22:32] but i tried using envy, the download from nvidia, [22:32] Buenas [22:32] and apt-get upgrade [22:32] and none of these methods have worked [22:32] !enter | clam [22:32] clam: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [22:33] sorry picasso [22:33] clam: np [22:33] but any of those methods should have worked [22:33] how can i get msoffice fonts in openoffice [22:33] JessicaParker: maybe you got to set up every wireless you want to connect to unless... hummm [22:33] i am especially disappointed in envy, i thought envy would work [22:33] !font [22:33] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?

[22:34] alguien de Argentina? [22:34] (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) [22:34] i have that line in my xorg log [22:34] If I wanted to show a spreadsheet on a screen, but not edit it.. and show the changes when someone else edits it... any idea how one would do that? [22:34] but i cant seem to get my guis to see the same thing.........is this normal ?

[22:35] JessicaParker: ,but there are about 4 diffenret network connections things in Ubuntu, and it can be confussing [22:35] is someone using C::B in ubuntu? @@@ [22:36] clam: jockey "hardware drivers". [22:36] hello, i have a question about compiz or something better you may suggest. if so please post the link in PM or in room, thanks. the question is for hardy 8.04 LTS - howto run compiz without killing my box, as it does in the past. any suggestions where to begin? i would like 3d desktop, something cool that will work with this card... ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400 [22:36] JessicaParker: some sites will even say to ignore things like the network icon. [22:36] you mean system>hardware drivers? [22:36] clam: there is always a way to fix it. you may want to try joining #nvidia, and save those pastebin addresses [22:36] i have tried that. it doesnt want to work [22:36] JessicaParker: if you try to connect at the library, the connection works or not? [22:36] clam: those guys can tell you for sure if there is an incompatibility [22:37] allowoverride: you on a Dell inspiron 9400 ? [22:37] it says it enables the drivers but then i cant get my resolution to change [22:37] i will try the nvidia irc [22:37] thanx markl_ [22:37] clam: cool, good luck === rdw200169 is now known as rdw200169`afk [22:37] clam: yea, don't think I've got much more to suggest unfortunately [22:37] !away > rdw200169`afk (rdw200169`afk, see the private message from ubottu) [22:37] does flash still support only ubuntu 32 bit? [22:38] CIAO A TUTTI [22:38] Dreamglider: its an inspiron 6400 [22:38] i run x64 and i have flash [22:38] antonio_: HANNO INVENTATO IL MINUSCOLO [22:38] ...

(click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [22:38] so there's no problem using x64 anymore? [22:38] ... [22:38] not really [22:38] okay, thanks [22:38] yeah [22:38] flash works with x64 [22:38] !backup [22:38] 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 [22:38] if thats the real question [22:39] Not because adobe got smart either -- because ubuntu got smarter ;-) [22:39] i new i should have gotten an nvidia... dop! [22:39] nvidia ftw [22:39] Transience39: I'm using flash on 64bit, it seems to work... but sometimes it needs a reinstall randomly, dunno if that has anything to do with it though... [22:39] is rhythmbox still the default player for jaunty even though development has stopped? [22:40] guys .. is there a way to make it so when i right click in side of gnome/nautilus i get a Terminal here ? [22:40] allowoverride: ok well i just installed the restricted drivers and compiz worked fine, dual monitor, dual "cubu" pretty nice :) but i removed it coz it caused any videoplayback to "jerk" and flicker :/ [22:40] cubE* [22:40] sebsebseb: dont worry, the point is i cant see the network in the library or at home and need a gui to see it. [22:40] maybe try turn off desktop extras [22:40] my gui recongnieses my home connection but the network manager does not [22:41] i forget what thats called, but when i turned off those, i didnt get flickers anymore with other games i was playing... but as for the compiz, i have yet to see it work.... [22:41] JessicaParker: yeah pretty sure I read stuff about network manager, not being that good [22:41] bbiab thanks [22:41] JessicaParker: and how it won't recognize things etc [22:41] sebsebseb: so anyone know of an alternative gui ? [22:41] JessicaParker: and on network connections, you can add your wireless graphicalley [22:41] i take it the gui just presents the actual connections in a graphical manner ? [22:42] JessicaParker: yeah [22:42] JessicaParker: KDE will use something different === rjrjr is now known as John_Vining_SUX [22:43] sebsebseb: what a different file for configuration ? === MonadKadaver is now known as kadaver [22:43] JessicaParker: you don't know what KDE is???? [22:43] JessicaParker: KDE/Kubuntu [22:44] is there a 64-bit version of ubuntu? [22:44] ryanCH: of course === John_Vining_SUX is now known as StratforduponAvo [22:44] i have a question on totem movie player, if i play any avi movie on this PC X windows will freeze up and although the linux subsystem is running ok, i can ssh to the machine etc, even a gdm restart wont bring it back [22:44] sebsebseb: i think you are out of your depth on the advice [22:45] anyone suggest a better alternative movie player? === Nickiniz is now known as mavi_sakal [22:45] HI! [22:45] i got 1 question, about Code::Blocks [22:45] is anyone using it? [22:45] JessicaParker: maybe, but for alternative wireless GUI's what I said :D have you looked in synpatic and searched for wireless by the way, to find out what kind of stuff comes up, there could be something useful === StratforduponAvo is now known as rjrjr [22:46] rhythmsoup: alternative to what? [22:46] hey does anyone know of a way to speed up play back of a .swf? [22:46] sebsebseb: alternative to Totem [22:46] rhythmsoup: your on 8.10? [22:46] sebsebseb: no 8.04 32-bit [22:46] hommeentete: kill everything, ecxept the swf viewer ;D [22:46] rhythmsoup: ok get vlc. and the ppa for banshee [22:47] sebsebseb: ppa? what is that? [22:47] !ppa [22:47] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [22:47] rhythmsoup: mplayer seems the better after trying a few out [22:47] rhythmsoup: yeah the version of Banshee in 8.04 is not that good, so you get the ppa for a better version, which is also the version in 8.10 [22:48] do you guys think that it will be worth upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04? i mean what are the big improvements? [22:48] sebsebseb: thx [22:48] JessicaParker: depends on the user, but sure mplayer can play pretty much anything with the codecs installed [22:48] rhythmsoup: sure may as well do mplayer as well [22:48] !jaunty | dudette [22:48] dudette: 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.

[22:49] eh [22:49] autojoin unrulez [22:49] hi all [22:49] dudette: again this is for support of the current release, not discussion of the next : / [22:50] understood, sorry [22:50] Hey! Random question.. [22:50] Is there some sort of program or plugin *whatever* which would turn off the computer after set time? Like... a timer.. countdown [22:50] rhythmsoup: https://launchpad.net/~banshee-team/+archive/ppa [22:50] I cut my self off accidentally [22:51] *purpose - I leave computer on with music playing and go to bed , but want it to turn off after an hour* [22:51] :) [22:51] I own a dedicated server but all I access I have to it is through the shell. Is there any way I can set up a virtualized OS ? [22:51] downing use sleep [22:51] Downing: sudo shutdown -h +60 would do that... look at the man page for shutdown :) [22:51] Downing: uhm, i think i recall some music players having that feature built in, not sure which though [22:51] sebsebseb: thanks again :) [22:52] :) [22:52] leonwool: using magic :D in 2005 [22:52] or what Picassotamus said [22:53] mike09: 7.10 no longer suppourted [22:53] would this work [22:53] sudo shutdown -h 18:45 [22:53] Downing: it should [22:53] ok let me try.. :D [22:53] dudette: the only major improvement with 9.04 is Ext4 suppourt, and you would have to clean install for proper Ext4 suppourt anyway [22:54] uhm [22:54] does anyone have a way to speed up playback for .swf? [22:55] How can I access a USB device if I know Ubuntu is reading it, but no GUI pops up? [22:55] hey all. i need to completely remove tweetdeck to reset it to default settings, anyone know how in ubuntu? [22:57] NuuBuntu: you may want to be a bit more specific about "access" but via terminal -> 'cd /media/usb' or something like that [22:57] what is the best solution for backup to a network drive in ubuntu 8.10? [22:57] !backup [22:57] 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 [22:57] i read these [22:57] I'm using RAID1. If I pull one drive out and make changes to the drive still in the system, then I put the second drive back, will it be automatically synced up with the latest changes? [22:57] the problem with sbackup is that there is no indication bar or estimated time it just runs a prossess in the background [22:58] The-Mentor: yeah and the best bot I don't think can tell you [22:58] The-Mentor: it also mentions rsync among other things. [22:58] sirjoebob: tweetdeck isn't in the repo's .. how did you install ? [22:58] LjL i read about rsync but its too complicated for a backup solution [22:58] picassotamus I am trying to access my verizon phone to upload music and images. I plug my phone in, and after using sudo tail -f /var/log/messages, have seen Ubuntu acknolwedge the phone, but no sort of GUI pops up to allow me to upload or download from the phone. [22:59] LjL: or maybe thats the way it seems to me [22:59] NuuBuntu: Is it listed under Places? [22:59] The-Mentor: very many people use it for backup. "best" is relative. [22:59] picassotamus no it's not listed under places [23:00] LjL: ok what would you recommend? [23:00] The-Mentor: besides, there are graphical front-ends to it [23:00] The-Mentor: i don't know. [23:00] my wireless, madwifi, is not working [23:00] even tried ndiswrap, but to no avail [23:00] LjL: thanks for the tip then i'll check it out and read about it more. any recommendation regarding a front end gui for rsync? [23:00] anyone can help [23:00] NuuBuntu: Well, assuming that it is mounted, it should be under /media afaik, does it mention mount point in your log? [23:01] Hello [23:01] ChrisHerlein: hi [23:02] irc.malvager.com [23:02] I'm bored [23:02] help me then [23:02] i cant get my wireless to work [23:02] What pas? [23:02] can anyone help out ?

It was working, and now for whatever reason, it is not working. I don't know what might have caused it; I don't think I changed anything (appears to have stopped working upon a reboot). when I try and reload alsa ('alsa reload') I'm told "Loading ALSA sound driver modules: (none to reload)." this is an ibm thinkpad x30 with i830 chipset (ac97 audio, I think) [23:03] anyone can help with my wireless problem [23:03] sYskk: virtual machine using a shell? or instead of a GUI? [23:03] ndiswrapper didnt work nor did madwifi [23:03] I found 7 viruses in XP. Now how do I fix them? They are in system files so I can't delete them? ClamTK did work :D [23:03] !patience | mint3 [23:03] mint3: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [23:03] picassotamus it doesn't seem to list the mount point in the log. /media shows two cdrom cdrom0 floppy and floppy0 [23:03] sebsebseb, I've tried those... I'm getting a "bootmgr not found" error when I go into Windows though. So grub's set up correctly as far as I can tell.

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [23:04] sebsebseb: well, the only way I can install it is from shell... thats the only access I have to my dedicated server [23:04] sYskk: ok sounds like your after qemu or kqemu [23:04] !qemu [23:04] qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [23:05] hey sebsebseb [23:05] !kqemu [23:05] kqemu is a kernel module (now free under the GPL license) for speeding up the !QEMU virtual machine. Installation instructions can be found at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/KQEmu [23:05] NuuBuntu: That is wierd. You may have to mount it yourself then... Have you checked the forums, i would imagine that is a pretty common task/problem [23:05] sebsebseb: thx ! [23:05] interestingly enough, i just tried mplayer and hit the same problem [23:05] sebsebseb you are so smart dude [23:05] The-Mentor: not really, i'm just reading the page at http://www.debianadmin.com/rsync-backup-web-interfacefrontend-or-gui-tools.html [23:05] picassotamus Yes, I've checked the forums. A lot of people have had the problem but I am yet to find a thread that's been solved. How would I go about mounting it manually? [23:05] sebsebseb: will I be able to install with no GUI ? [23:05] hello everyone, the problem I am having is that when I open kate, the windows border dissapears, and kate's window takes up the whole screen covering up the menu bars. Any ideas? [23:05] where can i look in my logs to see why playing a video brings the whole desktop to a halt? [23:05] sYskk: yeah qemu basically runs in kernel, also kvm comes to mind [23:06] !kvm [23:06] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu.

[23:07] The-Mentor: it's mainly ones i've got from the wiki pages, anyway [23:07] :( [23:07] picassotamus there are several different things I've seen it listed as, what would the command be to mount it, I'd have to try it on each name.

[23:08] Rabbitbunny, it 'won't fix'? did your problem spontaneously occur recently, or did it happen when you upgraded to 8.10? because I've been running 8.10 since 8.12. [23:09] hello everyone, the problem I am having is that when I open kate, the windows border dissapears, and kate's window takes up the whole screen covering up the menu bars. Any ideas? [23:09] going back to 8.04 isn't really a downgrade as such, since it's the long term suppourt [23:09] NuuBuntu: Mount is the command... i would read the man page for more info... not sure what to tell you about figuring out which /dev/x it is : / [23:10] picassotamus ok thank you for your help [23:10] Please help [23:10] NuuBuntu: np, one other thing: if it isn't mounted under /media, looking at /etc/mtab might help you [23:10] caimlas: it's spontaneous, I ran 8.10 since RC playing with it, and the bug is listed as "won't fix", meaning it's not going to get fixed upstream. affects all intel i8x0 [23:10] !wireless | mint3 [23:10] mint3: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:11] it didnt work [23:11] !work | mint3 [23:11] mint3: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [23:11] mint3: you need to tell people more about your wireless, what type it is and such, or they can't help [23:11] atheros, sebsebseb === tom_ is now known as jardi [23:12] seb seb seb - it wont let me connect wireless [23:12] tomboy note suck what I am looking for is a way to place sticky notes to the decktop any ideas on what to get? [23:12] mint3: you sure no atheros driver in system > adminitaration > hardware drivers? [23:12] Anyone here ever install on a SunFire box? I'm having problems getting the boot loader to come up. [23:12] hello, my system sometimes works waking up from "sleep" but sometimes doesn't, how & where should I start trouble shooting it? it's a desktop running 64-bit btw [23:13] there is, sebsebseb, but even if its activated i cant get any wireless [23:13] seb seb seb [23:13] sebastian help me fellow [23:13] hello everyone, the problem I am having is that when I open kate, the windows border dissapears, and kate's window takes up the whole screen covering up the menu bars. I have also had this problem ociasionaly with firefox. Any ideas? [23:13] reeeh2000: You turned off window decoration in compiz. [23:13] reeeh2000, Try pressing "F11". [23:13] mint3: ok have it enabled, and set up wireless normalley, I am not really the best person for wireless help, since I am hard wired :) much better than wireless, faster, and more secure [23:13] am hard wired too sebsebseb. thats for the laptop [23:14] mint3: the amount of not protected at all or enough wireless connections out there. that people can just get on, that are near enough. WPA2 I beliive it is for proper protection [23:14] DSpair: it isnt terminal mode [23:14] i simply cant enable it [23:14] it only allows me to install vpn [23:14] i want wireless [23:14] What are possible reasons for a SMP kernel not to recognize my second CPU core? [23:14] reeeh2000, Never thought it was. is typically used to toggle full screen for graphical apps. [23:14] mint3: did you add the connection into the graphica with the SSID and such? [23:14] reeeh2000: to minimize Kate, press F1 to open help, ctrl+alt+right to move to another desktop, then click back to youyr original, now with a right click on the window list you can minimize. [23:15] usually, u double click and u can select which wireless connection u wanna conect to [23:15] Ideas on a good terminal based ftp client? [23:15] in my case, i cannot, sebastian [23:15] speedcore, ncftp? [23:15] DSpair: in kate f11 toggles line numbers [23:15] yacc: I will check it out, thanx [23:15] speedcore, I second that "NcFTP" [23:15] mint3: no I think now days, people have to add the wireless [23:15] mint3: when it won't show [23:15] reeeh2000: Are you listening? I just gave you the answer to your troubles. [23:16] so in a script... how would one go about echoing # [23:16] ? [23:16] yes but there is a cross on the wireless on the taskbar [23:16] evenin all [23:16] and whatever i do i cannot seem to connect [23:16] I need a hand getting wireless to work in 9.04 [23:16] space_cadet, You would escape the character.

[23:17] is it worth upgrading to 9.04 from 8.04 ?? what are the new features ? [23:17] hello [23:17] have you activated the restricted madwifi drivers, j0nr ? [23:17] bazooka: Read the website. This is for support. [23:17] Rabbitbunny: that isnt working [23:17] bazooka: no it's not really worth it, unless when it's more stable, you want a much faster file system, then Ext4 [23:17] I here there are some issues with ext4 [23:17] bazooka: you would have to clean install for proper Ext4 suppourt [23:17] ythe1300: indeed [23:17] bazooka - am on 9.04, only problem so far has been wireless [23:17] mint3: I did the usual enabling restricted hardware drivers... is that what you mean? [23:17] and ext4 [23:17] reeeh2000: Turn on window decoration in Compiz Settings. [23:17] yes, j0nr [23:18] you got the atheros wireless card ? [23:18] mint3: are you on 9.04? [23:18] you can still use ect3 right? [23:18] ok j0nr and mint3, since your both on 9.04 your suppourt questions aren't realy welcome here, plus the people in #ubuntu+1 tend to be more advanced users anyway [23:18] yes i am on 9,04 [23:18] oCean_: yeah he is [23:18] mint3: then please join channel #ubuntu+1 for support [23:18] j0nr - have you tried ndiswrapper ? [23:18] sebsebseb: sorry...moving over there now. ta [23:19] j0nr: I would have a look at what your saying there :D, but I can't join there at the moment [23:21] If I know of an upstream bug, should I still report it through Launchpad? [23:22] ghindo: good question [23:22] Woohoo!!! LILO to the rescue! [23:22] ghindo: if you know the bug is also in the latest release, then reporting it upstream is probably a good idea. i think you can also "sync" an upstream bug report to launchpad, but i'm not sure of the details [23:22] The new server is FINALLY booting up. [23:22] ghindo: you could try asking in #ubuntu-bugs too [23:22] LjL: Thanks! === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [23:24] is the only way to hack a linux box to figure out their passwd? Cause I think someone knows mine :O [23:24] hi [23:24] change it then otm [23:24] otm: it might not be the *only* way, but it certainly is one way [23:25] luislobo: hi === DanPateyNap is now known as DanPatey === sebsebseb is now known as sebbseb [23:25] don't know if this is the right place to ask, but here it goes: Can I get a usb-irda dongle to work with lirc ? [23:25] i try to fix but it said error could not launch menu item Failed to execute child process "wallpapoz" (No such file or directory) === sebbseb is now known as sebebseb [23:25] any one can help me please [23:25] luislobo: likely not [23:25] what are the other ways? === sebebseb is now known as sebsebseb [23:26] luislobo: but some of them do work, if i remember right [23:26] taz: is it spelled correctly? [23:26] yes [23:26] LjL: the faq from lirc is a little bit unclear [23:26] rabbibunny: can u help me to fix ?? [23:26] LjL: says it's not possible to get a usb-irda to work but says it does not apply to them all... [23:27] LjL: whatever that means :9 [23:27] luislobo: i think it basically depends on whether the dongle is really an irda dongle (i.e. it actually has circuitry that implements irda), in which case you can't use it, or the irda stuff is done in software, in which case you might be able to use it [23:27] i am going back to windows,. good bye crule world of linux [23:27] cruel hehe [23:27] :O [23:27] taz: That's not in the repos. It's not supported software. [23:27] i see can remove it ?? [23:27] LjL: how can I see that ? [23:28] luislobo: i don't know [23:28] taz: I have no idea. [23:28] that ok.. thanks anyway [23:28] LjL: ok... thnx anyway [23:29] any known drawbacks to installing from Windows? [23:29] rabitbunny: how they do that...i would like to know if there is wallpaper each side of cube- diffrent picture ?? possable ?? [23:29] reisio: only if you keep windows :) [23:30] taz: I've not seen or looked for software for that purpose. [23:30] luislobo: yeah with Windows [23:30] luislobo: anything in particular, or were you just Windows bashing? :p [23:30] does anyone know of a good linux equivalent to mspaint? [23:30] rabbitbunny: i saw in internet... they do// [23:31] otm: GNUPaint, Gimp... [23:31] rabbitbunny: do u want website ?? [23:31] reisio: basically bashing, but if you don't mess up the windows partition you're ok [23:31] k, just curious [23:31] hello all [23:31] Gimp has too many tools [23:31] taz, It's not supported software, meaning you're on your own. [23:31] would seem like a disk image inside a Windows partition would be inherintly weird [23:31] reisio: the installation process even adds the right grub entries to boot from windows [23:31] is GNUPaint simple or like GIMP? [23:32] anyone know about using realvnc with ubuntu's remote desktop? [23:32] !gpaint | otm [23:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about gpaint [23:32] inherent* p'shaw [23:32] i can't get it to work :( [23:32] !info gpaint | otm [23:32] otm: gpaint (source: gpaint): GNU Paint - a small, easy to use paint program for GNOME.

[23:32] sYskk: how far have you gotten? [23:32] reisio: it wraps the windows boot loader (kind of a chain) [23:33] yeah, sounds far out :p [23:33] reisio, one would think there would be performance issues involved :P [23:33] I was setting up a mount point for Windows and it was the same partition as Ubuntu :p [23:33] ShakaGoldSaint: yeah, I certainly would :p [23:34] reisio: Wubi doesn't touch the windows bootloader. It just adds an entry to boot.ini for Ubuntu. [23:34] you wouldn't call boot.ini part of the boot loader? :p [23:35] reisio: The drawbacks are that you have a (very small) performance degradation from one more layer of abstraction, and you are on NTFS. So if NTFS gets corrupted somehow, etc. [23:35] so noone here has used remote desktop through realvnc on a windows box/ [23:35] deagle: I do VNC [23:35] deagle: Yes, What do you need help with? [23:36] anyone here using the lastest ati catalyst driver in Jaunty (9.3)?

[23:38] 810 [23:38] Rabbitbunny: O_o? [23:38] sebsebseb, that'd be boring ^^ [23:38] the router is supposed to reply to ping? [23:39] deagle: you can't VNC to a router. [23:39] hence the port forwarding comment [23:39] ShakaGoldSaint: well so is 9.04 on Ext3 partitions, but there was a data loss issue with Ext4, anyway join #ubuntu+1 to find out more about stuff. shame I can't join you there though at the moment as well [23:39] deagle: the PC is supposed to reply to ping. [23:40] but on which port? games play just fine and they require port forwarding too [23:40] deagle: Are you sure you have the IP correct? are you operating over a modem? tell me more about the hardware in use.

Onto the LAN, what's the IP there? [23:41] 192.168.1.2 [23:42] router's @ .1 [23:42] Hello! If a friend comes over with a windows PC for a lan, can I connect it to a wireless ubuntu netbook to get internet through that? as in, set it up so it shares the internet connection?
