What sort of proxy (what are you trying to accomplish)? What have you tried? What are you stuck on? [00:36] or a .deb file for it?

[00:57] Ropechoborra: I think this is a different issue. [00:57] I can't get it to even move the cursor. [00:57] hi [00:57] Does anyone know why my / drive is reading as 0 bytes free? If that's the case, how do I clean junk out of it to free up space? I'm not able to download anything... [00:57] sotec_prod: sudo apt-get clean [00:57] disregardthat, in the 2nd post there is a Quote wich talks about your laptop model. it says to add something in the xorg.conf [00:57] I tried that [00:57] Is it possible to mount your boot partition and edit your grub configuration? [00:57] sotec_prod: an eays way to clean some up is apt-get clean, yes. But, check /var/log for runaway log files [00:58] disregardthat: did #ubuntu+1 tell you to come back here? :D [00:58] disregardthat, worths the effort to try :P [00:58] chronic: you know what the channel for ban-related requests is. ask again here, and you get banned from here too. [00:58] Ropechoborra: I'm almost completely sure this is something else. [00:58] That and xorg.conf doesn't do anything to my system. [00:58] <`Borg`> why on some drives does ubuntu 64-bit (even though there is enough space on a drive) report that the drive does not have enough space? [00:58] <`Borg`> bug? [00:58] `Borg`: how much extra space [00:58] Flannel, I don't think I understand that. What's the significance of runaway log files? [00:58] Hey all - was wondering if any one could offer some advice; I can't get past "Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer Hald" when trying to install on my desktop. (I've verified the CD already and it's ok). Any thoughts? [00:58] There are no bugs in linux. [00:58] Only [00:58] LjL, lolz, dude , u know im banned from there [00:58] disregardthat, sorry, didnt noticed. You're right [00:58] "patches welcome" [00:59] For experimentation purposes, does there exist a package that allows software OpenGL rather than hardware (I'm aware that there will be slowdown), preferably for a single application [00:59] <`Borg`> like major extra space coppro. 150Gb+ [00:59] sotec_prod: A log file that is far too large (assumingyou don't have a separate /var) and is taking up all of the space on your drive. [00:59] chronic, maybe you shouldn't do things that get you banned [00:59] `Borg`: Okay, the defeats my first guess. [00:59] hey guys, im using windows xp now, and run ubuntu with vmware. i configure share folders in vmware and install vmware tools in ubuntu, and everything ok except share folder. where to find them in ubuntu? [00:59] How do I get into the TOR program so I can make changes? Do I need to make changes once it downloads itself and installs? Does it run on its own or do I need to do stuff to get it working? [00:59] Perhaps the partitioning is weird? [00:59] chronic: your banned from +1? same here [00:59] i downloaded a beta jaunty cd, and i'd like to use that to upgrade my system, can it be done? starting the update managner and using it oesn't find the CD [00:59] Flannel, I can safely delete the log files, yes? [00:59] unitedpotsmokers: read up on samba [00:59] sotec_prod: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks.

[01:00] every body here [01:01] can help me please [01:01] hello :> does anyone else receive strange issues with udp in intrepid? in just about any application on eth0 i'm constantly receiving "wrong udp checksum" errors [01:01] sebsebseb, it's a live CD, and i'd like to use it to update my system. instead of formatting the drive and installing jaunty. === tom_ is now known as jardi [01:01] Can anyone help me get my mouse and keyboard working on my laptop? They don't show up under HAL, and it's an Inspiron E1505N. [01:01] Flannel, my entire /var/log folder is 6.6mb. that can't be it. [01:01] so20f: you can install a version of Ubuntu, and upgrade it yeah [01:01] is there any way to search man pages? [01:01] so20f: Again, please ask in #ubuntu+1. But no, you can't upgrade from Desktop CDs, only Alternate CDs. [01:01] sotec_prod: try sudo apt-get clean [01:02] orochi: UDP is not normally checked. [01:02] <`Borg`> & Hfuy, if a software has a problem that needs a patch, typically that is referred to as a 'bug fix.' [01:02] disregardthat, I have several times [01:02] ah [01:02] matty_b: man -k keyword [01:03] thanks [01:03] anybody installed ubuntu on ausus eee pc 701SD and managed to get the ethernet port working? [01:03] when I tried to install ubuntu on it, it would not pick up the ethernet [01:03] Teejay__: they aren't suppourted here, but ubuntu eee or easypeasy are better on the eepc's as far as I know. [01:03] im back [01:03] Dreamglider you still here? :) [01:03] If I install 8.10 over 8.04 will it nuke everything already in place; as in a clean slate with no installs, wipe out email accounts etc? [01:03] matty_b: "man man" also works [01:04] Dreamglider: you mentioned restricted drivers... let's talk about that for a few... k [01:04] raddad, yes [01:04] raddad: probably [01:04] hi! when I logout from vt automatic switch to X occurs on jaunty. How can I change this? [01:04] ok, this is a pain in my arse, ah need to configure VLC's sound output manually, but i cant find the DSP device, where are they in 8.10? [01:04] Are device drivers in /dev not kept up to date when a drive is modified through the file system? [01:04] that's what I thought, thanks [01:04] How do I figure out if I'm using MESA? [01:04] How do I get into the TOR program so I can make changes? Do I need to make changes once it downloads itself and installs? Does it run on its own or do I need to do stuff to get it working? [01:05] Hi, I think I ran into a bug in compiz's Unfold under the Desktop Cube, I only see 3 screens instead of 4, with 1 of them duplicated... I'm running off dual monitor btw. can someone help? [01:05] allowoverride: here [01:05] great... [01:05] sorry i had to go away for spell, grab my son from school [01:05] Flannel, uninstalling programs via Synaptic or apt-get is'nt going to free up space is it? I think (I don't remember) I set /home on it's own partition for contingency. [01:05] you mentioned restricted drivers, i am already running restricted for the ati card [01:05] xun_: You probably have one desk top on each monitor, so the other doesn't appear on the cube [01:05] that may be why it's full [01:05] i wonder if that will be a good mix in the first place [01:05] lol [01:06] coppro, sorry i don't quite get that. what do you mean one desktop on each monitor? [01:06] allowoverride: to i doubt i can help you much, i just installed the restricted drivers for the graphic card (ati x1400) and compiz and hey presto full 3d desktop and cube and stuff [01:06] sotec_prod: it should. Also, to check partitions, look at /etc/fstab [01:06] sotec_prod: Run baobab and see what's up. Or du or something. How many partitions do you have? is it / and /home and that's it? (df will tell you) [01:06] xun_: Well, if you have four desktops, and one is on each monitor [01:06] then I guess compiz doesn't show the other one on the cube [01:07] Dreamglider: so my question is sorta answered already... from what you mentioned prior, but how about the command or configs i may require, may i have a look at your xorg.conf or something else? to compare and see if i am on the same page. also,, do i need glx or xlg to run compiz? i was reading the docs earlier [01:07] coppro, oh i see. no i'm using NVidia Twinview mode, so both monitor are seen as one desktop [01:07] ah [01:07] ok, this is a pain, i need to configure VLC's sound output manually, but i cant find the DSP device, where are they in 8.10? [01:07] hmm [01:07] you sure you're on four desktops [01:07] Hey all - was wondering if any one could offer some advice; I can't get past "Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer Hald" when trying to install on my desktop. (I've verified the CD already and it's ok). Any thoughts? [01:08] coppro,, yes i can rotate the cube just fine [01:08] also, if something breaks, like it did in the past, i had to reinstall the os. very new to ubuntu [01:09] it just has one of them duplicated... so that's why I can only see 3 of them. [01:09] something along these lines.... sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager [01:09] xun_: But do you have four desktops set? [01:09] ok, last check: if I add "icarus ALL = NOPASSWD: /path/to/script" as last line in /etc/sudoers, it should allow icarus (and only icarus) to execute script that's supposed to be executed by root(or rather sudo)? [01:09] allowoverride: Is it a desktop or a laptop? [01:10] lappy,,, [01:10] Good luck, you'll need it. [01:10] ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400 [01:10] 8.04 LTS desktop [01:10] baobab reports that / is full [01:10] Is it one that's specifically mentioned as working well under linux on any website? [01:11] If I have 2 hard drives... one Ubuntu and one Windows XP... is dual booting possible? [01:11] when I logout from vt automatic switch to X occurs on jaunty. How can I change this? [01:11] VoodooDance: yeah it should [01:11] VoodooDance; yes [01:12] any reason why i can't configure my card with iwconfig anymore? it keeps disconnecting from the AP from local choice (dmesg output) but using the network manager program it's flawless. any ideas? [01:12] Is it ok for dual boot to have one SATA and one regular IDE? [01:12] coppro, yes i'm pretty sure [01:12] although I don't know where to change the number of desktops's set [01:12] Flannel, Gparted reports that I do infact have a / dir and a /home seperate from that. / is indeed full. Now, the question of course, is: How do I free up space? [01:12] i just viewed Desktop Wall, and it shows 4 desktops as well... [01:13] bak! Hey what's the deal with using the Logitech usb laser headset with ubuntu. Why is it still so damned difficult? How can I get it to work? [01:14] VoodooDance, I have 3 IDE's and one SATA II drive, and I've triple-booted that config. Works fine. [01:14] Anyone have a moment to help a noob connect to wireless network with ubuntu on my laptop? [01:14] Where can I get the Firefox plugin called Live IP Address? [01:14] sotec_prod, ty [01:14] no problem [01:14] Mean_Admin, mshanks ty [01:14] allowoverride: installing compiz should install everything it needs, sure ill pastebin the xorg.conf [01:14] so20f: You will need to turn networkmanager off to do manual configuration; /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop [01:15] I had to install compiz on an eee-pc once. [01:15] God it was a nightmare. [01:15] coppro, i did [01:15] coppro, uninstalled it with apt-get to make sure of that as well. same result. [01:16] Oo [01:16] Flannel, Gparted reports that I do infact have a / dir and a /home seperate from that. / is indeed full. Now, the question of course, is: How do I free up space? [01:16] Where can I get the Live IP Address Firefox plugin? [01:16] ...anyone? [01:17] hi how do i install nmap latest version? [01:17] !latest | mapsuy [01:17] mapsuy: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [01:17] allowoverride: u got the link ? [01:18] i use kubuntu 8.10 and i cant figure out how to make my external usb sound card work(behringer uca202).Could anyone help me? [01:18] ladies and gentlemen good night [01:18] LjL: can our nmap scan for conficker virus then? any idea? [01:19] mapsuy: no, i don't know. what does scanning for it involves? [01:19] Can I safely uninstall Evolution? I will most likely NEVER need it. [01:19] you need the latest beta version of nmap mapsuy, beta5 i believe [01:19] is it possible to move a hard drive with ubuntu on it to a completely different system and boot from it without any problems? [01:19] nmap --script=smb-check-vulns --script-args=safe=1 -p139,445 -d1 192.168.1.1 <--but this doesnt run cuz of that script [01:20] alevine, very unlikely [01:20] I'm having an install CD problem, anyone willing to help?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:21] JakeLL, burn it at <= 4x? [01:21] JakeLL, or use unetbootin to 'burn' yourself an ubuntu live usb [01:21] Gentlemen any ideas, the Logitech usb laser headset with ubuntu, how do I get it to work? [01:21] nado: what would the problem be? isn't the kernel one size fits all? [01:21] and ladies sorry [01:21] alevine, i would say a file system problem [01:21] JakeLL, with the cd are you getting I/O errors? [01:22] alevine, is the hard disk you are copying to the same ? [01:22] nado: i'm not copying anything. I just want to take the hard drive from this computer, slide it into a different system (different mobo, cpu, RAM etc) and boot [01:22] ubotto: K All: I burned the unzipped package from ubuntu to 2 CDs one without boot info and one with.

[01:23] ok thanks [01:24] JakeLL, you should have gotten an ISO from the website. [01:24] nado: cool [01:24] thanks [01:24] sotec_prod: alright, so. Since that's plenty, we have to figure out what's taking up so much space. Try firing up baobob [01:24] JakeLL, then you burn the iso @ 4x or slower [01:24] Flannel, ok [01:25] Aaaah. K. I knew I must ahve been doing something idiotic. I thought it was a .rar file [01:25] I should have looked closer. [01:25] JakeLL, OR use unetbootin from windows to write yourself an ubuntu live usb flash disk [01:25] from the ISO [01:25] when did the 4x speed ever helped ? i always use full speen never been a problem ?

[01:28] matty_b, if you want to keep them around just add them to your .bashrc [01:28] matty_b, stick it in .bashrc or .bash_aliases to make it permenant [01:28] how do i make an alias where the command contains single quotes?

There is also a button that will ping all the servers and find the best one for you. I did it today and it worked tits. [01:35] matty_b, you are using bash right ? [01:35] i am. [01:35] hi. i am trying to configure kismet and have a hard time determining which interface to use for my card (bcm43xx). iwconfig says no wireless extensions are available and I am too much a newbie to figure out what to do. can anybody help me out? [01:35] just copy pasted the entire line in my bash.. and it worked [01:35] mrwes, I did that. I deleted the files there and they deleted themselves right back into place. [01:36] matty_b, notice the double quotes at beginning and end [01:36] sotec_prod, how did you delete them? [01:36] mrwes, delete key. [01:36] try shift delete? [01:37] yep yep. [01:37] sotec_prod, use the shift + delete key [01:37] space_cadet, :) [01:37] lol [01:37] mrwes, besides that, there's only six small files in that trash. Not enough to warrant 9.78gb full. [01:37] Where is the most common place to install programs without aptitude? [01:37] alright i got it working. [01:37] thanks nado. [01:38] sotec_prod, did you hit ctrl + H to show hidden files too? [01:38] Is it /usr/bin? Just /bin? [01:38] matty_b, no problem [01:38] codebliss, synaptic or apt-get ? [01:38] I just need to install leksah, a Haskell IDE, and I don't want to put it in a non-standard location [01:38] codebliss, /usr/local/bin [01:38] IIRC there are multiple places where programs are installed, but one is most common === Zaraphrax is now known as Zaraphrax[Away] [01:39] Well there is no "installing", but you get my point. [01:39] apt-get? [01:39] I've already installed ubuntu-restricted-extras but still can listen to mp3 [01:39] or you mean placement of a folder? [01:39] Ignore my aptitude comment lol. [01:39] mrwes, yes and yes. Still reading as 0 bytes free. [01:39] Where should I put the folder the program resides in? [01:39] ~/ [01:39] ? [01:39] The most common place on nix systems for just general programs [01:39] codebliss: /opt or home if there's no installation/compilation [01:39] I don't know what the hell is going on here. I can't imagine I filled up 10gb of space already [01:39] lol, I use the home folder... [01:39] For a system wide program, not for just me =) [01:40] codebliss, i told you /usr/local/bin is where the binary should be [01:40] Thanks, I wanted to get more than one opinion though =). Thank you [01:40] nado, aren't both in the path? /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin ? [01:40] codebliss, lol this is not a democratic process. You ask a question you get an answer :) [01:41] yep no votes... [01:41] This is IRC son, chill out. I'll use /usr/bin. [01:41] mrwes, can be both but usually for user added programs it should go in /usr/local/bin [01:41] codebliss, you can put it anywhere you want, long as it's in your path statement it'll run [01:42] I agree, /usr/local/bin is where locally-compiled or written stuff should go [01:42] nado, Ok...got it [01:42] but if a person prefers to put stuff in /usr/lib/empty, that's ok with me I guess. [01:42] heh [01:42] PhotoJim, true :D [01:42] I've already installed ubuntu-restricted-extras but still can listen to mp3 [01:42] * sotec_prod installs everything right into /.local/share/Trash [01:42] can anyone help me setup my samba server so it can be accessed outside of my network?

[01:45] does port 445 have to be open for my samba server to work? [01:45] Tokenekie: just run your apt-get or synaptic as usual. [01:45] Tokenekie: but if you are running from a livecd or usb, none of the changes you make will be saved... [01:46] Yeah that what i thought [01:46] * space_cadet slaps Sal-- with a big large trout. [01:46] this prog is saying '11: java not found' [01:46] * Sal-- slaps space_cadet with a big large scout [01:46] Where can I check for updated files? And I'm guessing we have to manually replace the files on the live USB? [01:46] what's the package name for the jre, as apt-cache search isn't yielding anything [01:47] or i should say what's the standard one. [01:47] exit [01:47] Tokenekie: there are probably nicer more automatic tools to remaster a livecd/liveusb... check out some docs on ubuntu wiki, maybe... [01:47] !liveusb [01:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about liveusb [01:47] matty_b, you want java? [01:47] !livecd [01:47] !java [01:47] The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [01:47] 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 [01:47] Hi has anyone else found out that the proposed linux-kernel updates in Hardy break ndiswrapper? [01:47] Tokenekie, You might try chrooting in the usb and then updateing I think it will do [01:47] thanks space_cadet [01:48] yep [01:48] actually my port is open [01:48] Ah, I'll try that [01:48] Tokenekie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [01:48] heh and i can't connect via samba [01:48] weird :( [01:49] Any programs that will allow me to play MUDs in Ubuntu? [01:49] Hi has anyone else found out that the proposed linux-kernel updates in Hardy break ndiswrapper? [01:49] Nano, do you know if this works for liveUSB's off the top of your head? [01:49] your link [01:49] mrwes, what about deborphan? [01:49] Will that help? [01:50] anyone in herer trying to detect conficker virus using nmap? any howto? [01:50] can anyone assist me with my samba server issue? [01:50] Tokenekie: no, not off the top of my head... but if not, at worst you could always make a livecd first, then convert it to a liveusb... [01:50] hi, i use ubuntu 8.10, how can i start sshd? [01:51] Hm, alright [01:51] !sshd [01:51] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [01:51] Thanks [01:51] safruhani: by default it's not installed. install it with package "openssh-server". then it will start automatically. [01:51] Tokenekie: np :) [01:52] how can i put things back after installing compiz if it breaks the gui, like it has in the past? do i simply remove ~/.compiz or is there something more? === curtis is now known as curt [01:53] mapsuy, did you get the lastest version of nmap from their website ?

[01:54] why does dd show a lost+found folder even after I deleted it from the partition? [01:54] mapsuy, then you can read the top article here : http://insecure.org/ [01:55] keith_, it's created by the filesystem ext3 [01:55] safruhani: np :) [01:55] curt: state your need... [01:56] keith_, actually it might be fsck [01:56] nado, I created a ext2 partition and dd showed the lost+found, I mounted the drive and deleted the folder, but dd still shows the same output. [01:56] nado, It was created when I ran mkfs.ext2 [01:56] nanotube_: i had 8.04 installed and just today i freshly installed 8.04 alpha and the sound does not work [01:56] keith_, whenever an fsck is run on your partition.. it will create a lost+found [01:57] keith_, you can this little thread about it : http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-229143.html [01:57] nado, that isn't the point. The point is nautilus shows no folder, but dd output does. [01:57] curt: Jaunty support in #ubuntu+1, not here. Thanks :) [01:58] keith_: just a guess, but perhaps nautilus ignores it, or ignores it if it's empty. [01:58] PhotoJim: I deteted it in nautilus [01:59] PhotoJim: actually, it does the same thing if I rm it [01:59] can someone please just help me [01:59] keith_: I don't know. but you shouldn't delete it. it's a system folder. [01:59] curt: we don't support Jaunty (8.04) here. join #ubuntu+1. They support it there. [01:59] PhotoJim: jaunty is 9.04 [01:59] Oops. [01:59] Sorry :) [02:00] PhotoJim: It is a symptom of the bigger problem. If I create a file in the partition, then run dd, the output hasn't changed. [02:00] curt: never mind. I was confused. We do support 8.04 here. [02:00] keith_: I'm puzzled. dd simply reads partitions at the system level and sends the data somewhere else. it doesn't actually look at the contents of the filesystem. [02:01] how do i access trash can without a toolbar? i decided to use avn instead of a toolbar at the bottom [02:01] PhotoJim: but he said 8.04 alpha, so he prabably meant jaunty [02:01] hi, does anybody know how to use gnome-voice-control? [02:01] PhotoJim: I am looking at its output. [02:01] zaccour: it's in a .Trash folder somewhere in your home dir.

I ran a backup program earlier, but couldn't find the file. Maybe that's what's killing my disk space? [02:43] no not at all :) [02:43] #ubuntu+1 isn't really a support channel anyways.

This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [02:43] i had to because my dvd only reads dvds.. no cds anymore. [02:43] dreamy: well if it's a bought version that you converted to DVD some how that would be ok [02:43] dreamy: I think [02:44] yes i converted.. using iso recorder.. [02:44] dreamy: why do you want XP? [02:44] to get the new beta drivers for the radeon mobility m6 ly [02:44] theyr not released tho :S [02:44] yet [02:44] dreamy: Windows and Ubuntu have differnet drivers [02:45] my ubuntu driver for the mobility 7000 only gets 300 fps on glxgears [02:45] is there a benefit of getting the 64-bit Ubuntu if I only have 1GB of RAM? [02:45] its a 32 megs 3d [02:46] dreamy: is fglrx installed [02:46] Meshezabeel: probably not, need about 4GB RAM for 64bit to be any good, as far as I know [02:46] twolane: probably [02:46] Meshezabeel: 4GB RAM or no point bothering with 64bit as far as I know [02:46] dreamy: get rid of it. [02:46] thanks sebsebseb [02:46] twolane: id like to check that [02:46] dreamy: we can't help you burn a pirate copy of XP here [02:46] of fglrx ? [02:46] I get 5,000+ FPS with glxgears on my 8600GT with TT [02:47] get rid of fglrx ? [02:47] but its the original [02:47] the partitiojns where erased indeed [02:47] does anyone here know why my synaptic keeps telling me fail fail i tried all servers, i have feisty [02:47] dreamy: good well just put Ubuntu on or do another distro :) ideally [02:47] :) [02:47] dreamy: or have you got a good reason to want XP other than, because of some drivers? [02:48] no [02:48] ;;;;;;;;; [02:48] i got to laps [02:48] 2 laps [02:48] dreamy: the other has Windows? [02:48] <_chun> I've added pidgin and amarok to startup applications; is there any way to set them to only open in the system tray, rather than opening their full windows? [02:48] well.. [02:48] stdruseren: feisty is no longer supported. could it be they turned off the feisty repos? [02:48] yes but i hardly use it [02:48] ; [02:48] is there a way i can set the height of window titles in ubuntu? [02:48] dreamy: ok well why not go Ubuntu only on one, you may find it's a rather nice feeling indeed [02:49] p[[[[[[[[[[[ [02:49] its realy nice yes ! [02:49] stdruseren: Did you try pinging the servers? [02:49] dreamy: have you had UBuntu on there before? yes, and this graphics card issue? [02:49] yes i can even http to them [02:49] pppp [02:50] i use it for somem months [02:50] ubuntu [02:50] dreamy: which version? [02:50] nanotube_, yes [02:50] stdruseren: Feisty repositories were moved to old-releases.ubuntu.com [02:50] 8.04 [02:50] its true [02:50] dreamy: ok cool [02:50] hey guyz how come after I installed a theme engine the theme still doesn't see it? [02:50] I am running on a virtual machine [02:50] now its working [02:50] dreamy: 8.04 and 8.10 have completly differnet versions of xorg by the way. and it sounded like you had some graphics card issue [02:50] what's the best MSN app for ubuntu?

[02:51] BlackCoffee: I like pidgin [02:51] i found an old repository, its still at ubuntu.com they just renamed it to old-releases [02:51] im tired of emesene,and kopete and kmess won't work properly [02:51] Pidgin [02:51] BlackCoffee: yeah Pidgin is good, but if you want other features web cam etc, AMSN, and I think Kmess can do it. [02:51] !msn [02:51] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others.

[02:53] My wireless internet doesn't work. I have an Intel 3945abg card, which works fine in windows. A belkin card worked, until it broke :-( help? [02:53] BlackCoffee: personally I woudn't use it for dialy usage, and no not in the repo, but you need Java installed for it [02:53] BlackCoffee: it's worth a try though [02:53] will check it out [02:53] sebsebseb: should i have fglrx or not have it ? [02:53] BlackCoffee: and if none of them are good enough well, if your computer has enough RAM, you could just virtual machine Windows, and run WIndows Live Messenger [02:54] ok let me reword it is it worth while setting up these theme engines not in repository and or going to gnome look for themes cuz I could do without [02:54] dreamy: do you want compiz and/or 3D apps? [02:54] BlackCoffee: I think Trillian works quite well under Wine, that's multi protocall [02:54] BlackCoffee: I haven't tried Trillian under Wine, but I think it will work well [02:54] wine?that vm type little app?

[02:58] otm: no not exactly, some will call it the shell and some will call it the konsole, and I belive there are about 3 differnet ones to choose from [02:58] sebsebseb: i use ubnutu every day .. i like it [02:58] !bash [02:58] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [02:58] sebsebseb: are the commands the same? [02:58] Hi, I've this sound card: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA). My sound get delay when I'm installing or compiling some thing. Why? I've tried something like: irqpoll at menu.lst and "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop" in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base. Same problem. [02:58] has anyone tried jaunty in beta? [02:58] sebsebseb: its a very clever operating system [02:59] otm: commands such as cd and lscpci those will be the same, because they are Linux/Unix commands. however commands such as apt-get install and things are distro specific [02:59] :O [02:59] otm: that was lscpi above [02:59] My wireless internet doesn't work. I have an Intel 3945abg card, which works fine in windows. A belkin card worked, until it broke :-( help? [02:59] otm: and Kubuntu is slightly differnet when it comes to installing programs. ksudo or something instead of sudo [02:59] jimmyjames_: Jaunty testing is in #ubuntu+1 [03:00] otm: you can have both in the same install by the way, and Xubuntu [03:00] kk atleast I got a response heh [03:00] sebsebseb: theree is gksu for gnome [03:00] otm: above Ubuntu and Kubuntu have slightly differnet commands. gksudo and yeah [03:01] tonyyarusso: yeah I know [03:01] sebsebseb: guess i should stick with ubuntu then, i was thinking about giving lots of linux distros a try but it seems that that would just confuse me [03:02] otm: depends on the distros you try [03:02] sebsebseb: well i'm fairly accustomed to ubuntu, i don't really know what doors that opens though [03:03] My wireless internet doesn't work. I have an Intel 3945abg card, which works fine in windows. A belkin card worked, until it broke :-( help? [03:03] sebsebseb: i still consider myself a noob though, i could never install a program manually without looking it up [03:04] otm: for the distro specific stuff, well. when you install programs in ubuntu you will normalely install debs (Debian Packages) using sudo apt-get or aptitude or synaptic. ,but then there's RPM (Redhat Package Manager) as well which is the file format for Redhat based distros. so a differnet command on those distros. this description is not that good, so I will use the bot [03:04] !deb [03:04] deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [03:04] !rpm [03:04] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [03:04] hi === rachel is now known as Guest49466 [03:05] how does this thing work [03:05] !APT [03:05] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[03:06] kd5zmc: uh, what level of detail are you looking for? It's an operating system. [03:06] kd5zmc, good luck [03:06] kd5zmc: why do you need yahoo's IM client? [03:06] !yahoo [03:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about yahoo [03:06] kd5zmc, if you want voice... i have figured some things out.. [03:06] I like the voice chat [03:06] kd5zmc, you have to use ekiga [03:07] kd5zmc, and you have to use gtalk2viop [03:07] how [03:07] kd5zmc, lemmie get a link [03:07] can anyone help me with the fact that my wireless doesn't work?

[03:23] otm: maybe you can take an intro to eng class at a local college, remember that it is not easy and both involve a good deal of math [03:23] april_, why do you want to mount an iso in wine? [03:23] <_Whipper> seebseb: dont u have ANY other answers? [03:23] but they can both be very fun [03:23] because multi disks install wont work with wine [03:23] Anybody here ever have an issue with SSH transfer speeds? Trying to SFTP a file over gigabit and it only moves at 5-6 MB/sec. When using Samba I push 50 MB/sec. Any ideas? [03:23] _Whipper: what was the issue again? [03:23] after running ./config in the unpackaged folder i get no errors [03:24] <_Whipper> "google or check it out from somewhere else.." :P [03:24] How do the files in /dev work? I am having trouble finding out details. [03:24] multi disc* [03:24] april_, aah ask winehq [03:24] ythe1300: I think I'm past that stage now, i've confirmed my offer at the uni lol [03:24] ah k, ty very much [03:24] ythe1300: just having doubts [03:24] Huufarted, sshfs is for security not high speed. CPU speed is critical for sshfs. [03:24] keith: What kind of information do you need? [03:24] www.ipchicken.com to get external ip address [03:24] but when i run make i get an error "make[1]: g++: Command not found" [03:24] Svenstaro, gotcha. Any recommendations for moving at max bandwidth? [03:24] otm: anyway you should not put your life in the hands of someone on IRC :) [03:24] projkt: sudo apt-get install build-essential [03:24] Svenstaro, since it's a LAN, I think I'll just use standard FTP [03:25] otm: but I have meet a lot of fun peole in the few eng classes I have taken so far. [03:25] ythe1300: you people are good teachers [03:25] zloog: Well, it seems that when reading directly from a device driver (eg. /dev/sdc2) the information is not always current with what is shown by nautilus, ls, etc. So I am wondering how these devices actually work. [03:25] Huufarted, you could manually adjust the encryption level but honestly, if you're not moving files from russia to japan, it isn't forth using anything else than maybe SFTP or HTTPS. [03:25] !ot [03:25] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:25] otm: and am hving fun in programing. [03:25] otm: ? [03:25] <_Whipper> !lol [03:25] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [03:25] ythe1300: please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [03:26] k [03:26] <_Whipper> !otm [03:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about otm [03:26] svenstaro, that was SFTP. SFTP is the transfer protocol with SSH [03:26] _Whipper: Please stop that. [03:26] thank you zloog. i'll try that now [03:26] svenstaro, but I have it taken care of using FTP. :) 50 MB/sec again. [03:26] can anyone give me their xorg file [03:26] !_Whipper [03:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about Whipper [03:27] hustla: if someone gives you there xorg file, it may have a differnet setting, and so not be any good for your card [03:27] <_Whipper> Flannel: my point was to sebseb.. nev mind.. [03:27] Huufarted, you are right of course, I hought you were using SCP (which you could try in this case). [03:27] does anyone know which vim ubuntu comes with? === chrisryo is now known as GzUPhoezDOWN [03:27] is it vim-full, or just vim? [03:27] yeah but my xorg file is blank [03:27] matty_b, vim-tiny [03:27] Svenstaro, I'll try SCP but I figure the speed will be the same. [03:27] matty_b: it's vim-tiny, you want to install "vim" to get a real vim. vim-full includes a GUI (gvim) [03:27] I don't like vim-tiny [03:27] Svenstaro: give me a minute, I'll let you know if there's a speed diff. [03:27] alright thanks. [03:27] Huufarted, as I said, if security isn't critical, just use samba, nfs, ftp, http, wahtever. [03:27] get vim-full, uninstall all the other "vim's" [03:28] Svenstaro, not possible since one's a Winblows machine. No big deal, it's on a LAN so FTP will work fine. [03:28] on the command line, how might i find out which vims i have installed in order to remove them? [03:28] Pupuser402-1, no need, they conflict anyway. [03:28] matty_b: dpkg -l | grep vim === GzUPhoezDOWN is now known as HammerOfJews [03:29] may be a dumb question, but how does running 'vim' run 'vim-tiny'? [03:29] Svenstaro: SCP is also poor with the transfer speeds. Again, I'm not worried about it. Was just hoping to use ssh strictly, but it looks like I'll have to hang onto FTP. === HammerOfJews is now known as Manguy [03:29] it's not aliased, afaik [03:29] zloog; it looks like that did the trick, what was that package? [03:29] <_Whipper> matty_b: not at all dumb q [03:29] someone please send me the xorg file [03:29] matty_b: 'which vim' [03:29] i jus wanna try it === Manguy is now known as americasmellslik [03:30] Huufarted, supposedly Intel's most recent Xeon class processors are capable of encryption optimization if you really want sftp :) [03:30] !nickspam > americasmellslik [03:30] americasmellslik, please see my private message === backz1 is now known as backz [03:30] Svenstaro: lol nah.... Intel Atom CPU works perfectly fine for me as a file server! ;P === americasmellslik is now known as Cheese [03:30] hustla, what do need to custom configure? === zgmf-x42s is now known as proj3ct2501 [03:31] i have nothing in my xorg file [03:31] Huufarted: i type 'vim', and it runs vim-tiny, as the package 'vim' isn't installed. i'm wondering how this is done. [03:31] matty_b: gotcha. [03:31] hustla, that's normal, what doesn't work? [03:31] the grafix [03:31] d resolution [03:32] projkt4: you were missing the c++ compiler. the package is just a bunch of common tools for compiling things from source [03:32] matty_b: have you checked the aliases currently in use? [03:32] matty_b, /usr/bin/vim-tiny was symlinked to /usr/bin/vim [03:32] What happens when someone writes to /dev/null? Where does the input go? Or when someone reads from /dev/random? Where does the output come from? [03:32] matty_b: there ya go [03:32] !resolution | hustla [03:32] aha, thanks Svenstaro. [03:32] hustla: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [03:32] anyone here ever tried to setup remote desktop?? over the internet. could use some help here, would be most appreciated. thanks! [03:32] keith: the answer to both questions is nowhere [03:32] keith_: /dev/null just... goes nowhere. random and urandom read from the random sources. === sebsebseb is now known as sebsebsebp [03:33] hustla, the last link [03:33] keith_, null makes it disappear in the void of your kernel within one tick and random shows you every tick's gibberish of your kernel. === sebsebsebp is now known as sebsebseb [03:33] proj3ct2501: which computer do you want to conenct to? [03:33] anyone know of a software vision mixer / production switcher? [03:33] help with viewing streaming quicktime in firefox? [03:33] <_law_> hi all :) [03:34] !multimedia | pyrak [03:34] pyrak: Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications [03:34] when i run nmap now i get "bash: /usr/bin/nmap: No such file or directory" [03:34] sebsebseb: i have ubuntu setup on my laptop at home, and i travel with an eepc, eeebuntu running. need to connect to it over the net to access it, etc [03:34] pyrak, mplayer or vlc or totem mozilla plugin [03:34] i know this has to do with a script, but i cannot remember where that script is [03:34] zloog, Flannel, Svenstaro, But what makes it do that? Is it an inherent part of the kernel? Is there programming somewhere that handles that? [03:34] proj3ct2501: ok you want to do VNC over SSH [03:34] keith_, yes [03:34] keith_: `man random` gives you some more detail [03:34] !vnc | proj3ct2501 [03:34] proj3ct2501: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [03:35] sebsebseb: well, either is fine, just need to get it up and running, ideally secure, lol [03:35] is there any way to list packages that i've installed above and beyond what came with the original install? [03:35] hi [03:35] sebsebseb: ok, ill check out that link ^_^ [03:35] keith_: Yes to both. Linux uses a monolitic kernel meaning that the drivers all live within the kernel. both of those files are considered devices [03:35] proj3ct2501: yeah that link should help, and I know how to do VNC over SSH :) [03:35] wow, my workmates are assholes [03:36] zloog, that script didnt work [03:36] i've been keeping a text file with a list of what i install for when i need to reformat, but it's not automatic.

[03:36] <_Whipper> chrisrio: arent we all.. [03:36] i've a question.could i ask it here? [03:36] !ask | abhra [03:36] abhra: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:36] zloog: is it compiled into the kernel? or would it be some sort of module? [03:37] zloog: What if I wanted to create a "device" that was identical in behavior to /dev/null, how would that be done? [03:37] Hey everyone :) In the default Hardy installation, how do you access the compiz config menu (terminal or otherwise)? [03:37] keith_: could be either, but I belive both of those are in the vanilla kernel [03:37] sebsebseb: cool, ill give the article a read and see how it fgoes, hopefully i can set it up from that point :) [03:37] keith_, get the kernel from kernel.org, look for a device driver file called zero or null and look at it. [03:38] I've got an issue with my MX500 laser keyboard & Mouse combo. I have to disconnect and reconnect the bluetooth dongle everytime I reboot. I know it's a known issue cause I've had it before, I just can't remember if there's a quick fix for it [03:38] <_Whipper> asdf_n00b: i remember you [03:38] keith_: Thats the kind of thing you would want a book on http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw_1_9?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=linux+device+drivers+3rd+edition&x=0&y=0&sprefix=linux+dev [03:38] keith_, there are plently of tutorials for writing kernel device drivers [03:38] how to save the opened channels in xchat while closing it? [03:38] durt: [03:38] repeat what u said [03:39] wen i typed that thing it jus shut down d pc' [03:39] Svenstaro, zloog, I don't specifically want to write a driver, I am just trying to understand how they work. Though a tutorial or book may help accomplish that. [03:40] i mean when i reopen it i want to be logged in automatically in the last opened servers [03:40] keith_, it's actually simpler than you think. [03:40] anyone have an idea? maybe run a command at startup that does the same thing as unplugging/replugging the usb dongle? [03:40] Is there a way I can just download the files needed for an upgrade to jaunty? (i.e. apt-get? I know there is an option, but not sure if that path is supported for ubuntu) [03:41] hey guys.. got a little problem in the CLI.. i'm 99.9% sure that ubuntu supports this ethernet chipset out of the box.. but for whatever reason its not setting up a device for it [03:41] monkeyb: You can, yes. Jaunty is still a development version, you should ask for details in #ubuntu+1 [03:41] Svenstaro: The question that is actually plaguing me is what happens when I read from /dev/sdc2, for example. Does it read directly from the drive? or is there some indirection or abstraction involved? [03:41] alright i've read the dpkg and dpkg-query man pages. is there any way to see what packages i've installed/removed since i first installed ubuntu? [03:42] Hi all, I have this CSV file which when I open with either the spreadsheet program or vim displays the information with no problem, but when I try to open the same file with gEdit I get gibberish, some of it in asian characters... Can anyone help me figure out what is going on? [03:42] armence1: don't use gedit? [03:42] the chipset according to lspci is an AMD 79c970, which is a the virtual chipset under ESXi... i've setup ubuntu under ESX before no problems!! [03:42] keith_, well it can't read directly from the drive. I'm not a low-level developer but I know that *how* files are read depends a lot on your file system, the device driver, the kernel. [03:43] tonsofpcs: Well, the problem, is that I need to make sure the problem is not actually with the file... Because if it is there is a problem with the program that is generating it [03:43] monkeyb press alt+f2 and enter "update-manager -d" (without the quotes) [03:43] I've tried and failed twice now to create a VMWare virtual machine running Xubuntu. It does the installation, then I restart and it just sits there. What am I doing wrong? [03:43] armence1: try a different file? [03:43] keith_, you can try directly reading from your drive: sudo cat /dev/sda > ~/gibberish and see what it looks like [03:43] EtFb, are you running 64bit by any chance? [03:43] Svenstaro: I am doing so with dd, but the information it is reading does not seem to be up to date with recent drive changes. [03:44] Why does Evince dont play a gif file? [03:44] hi. i'm wondering if there's any way to start the postfix config that runs after you apt-get it... my /etc/postfiz/main.cf is empty [03:44] Svenstaro: Host is 32 bit WinXP although I believe this is an AMD64 processor, but everything is 32 bit apart from that. [03:44] marcosRz, try playing it in firefox [03:44] tonsofpcs: That doesn't solve my problem, if a different file works, then it says nothing about the ability of my program to generate that original file... [03:44] im on xubuntu, & I always get "fbsetbg: something went wrong while setting the wallpaper. run 'display ...blah blah from an exterm" this msg never goes away...any suggestion? [03:44] ganymede, I know but I tough evince played :X [03:44] EtFb, try enabling / disabling some of the vmware guest extensions like APIC, I know thats a big issue with vmware. [03:45] armence1: if a different file doesn't work in the viewer, from a different source, the viewer is screwed up [03:45] tonsofpcs: Oh, I tried that, the viewer appears to work fine... [03:45] ubuntu 8.10: i'm using synaptic to uninstall a few items. these items, when initially installed, also installed extra files they depended on. what happens to those now? it's possible that nothing relies on them anymore. how can i manage this? [03:45] apt-get autoremove, i believe [03:46] Hey everyone :) In the default Hardy installation, how do you access the compiz config menu (terminal or otherwise)? [03:46] unsure [03:46] I'm reluctant to update my ubuntu build :\ I've installed Ubuntu for the third time in my life - And I've been using it for two weeks only.

[03:48] Svenstaro: I can't see any mention of APIC anywhere in the VMWare console. [03:48] hi there! [03:49] can anybody give me a crash course on how to use smart boot manager? i thought it was just a lone exe file, but it's turning out to be more complex, and i don't understand [03:49] quit: use 8.04 and then you don't really need to upgrade untill the next long term suppourt [03:49] anyone know why i wouldnt have a network device ? :/ [03:50] sebsebseb, How do I check what version I'm runing again? :P [03:50] quit: lsb_release -a [03:50] my laptop screen keep going to dim and I use the function key to add light.. it happends when it runs on battery.. how do I disable this behavior? [03:50] what's DJGPP, and why do i need it to run sbm with dos? [03:50] quit: yeah what the op said [03:51] what's the command that will auto-reguess your xorg.conf? [03:51] I have 8.10 - Should I downgrade? [03:51] Java applications are unable to connect to the net under Intrepid ... Any ideas? [03:51] quit: what problems are you having? [03:51] RedMushroom: It's a port of the gnu toolchain to Windows, a bit like Cygwin. [03:51] quit: LTS releases aren't exactly a downgrade, because they are LTS. [03:51] theDigitalAngel: no proxy? because java apps dont pay attention to the system proxy [03:51] quit: I used Kubuntu 8.10 for a few weeks and downgraded happily when I saw what a disaster KDE4 was.

[03:52] quit: ah ha I see [03:52] quit: you don't like KDE4 :d [03:52] cam-: http_proxy wont work I guess in that case ... [03:52] quit: 8.04 is the last version that offers both KDE3 and 4 from the repo [03:52] right click the java app i think, under there is properties.. all i know is you need to set it in Java it doesnt pay attention to http_proxy [03:52] quit: so yes if you want KDE4 put 8.04 on [03:52] axisys, go to On Battery Power and make the changes you want [03:52] quit: I meant KDE3 [03:52] same with flash :/ [03:52] cam-: Lemme try that ... [03:53] nado: i dont have the On Battery.. only On AC Power and General [03:53] quit: and then instead of installing the whole of KDE4 you could just install some of the better KDE4 apps and use in Gnome/KDE3 in 8.04. once you got the KDE4 libs on [03:53] hey guys, I am setting up a server @ home for a little wiki, nothing serious, and other test items... I already have an ubuntu desktop on my other laptop for working. Should I go with ubuntu for server or centos? [03:53] nado: is it because I am running on battery? [03:53] danbhfive: None really, it's just that everytime I upgrade something goes wrong - Once firefox stopped working, today my resolution went down and try as I may I couldnt get it back up - When I restarted it would change at random from a640 to 800 [03:53] That sort of stuff [03:54] quit: 8.04 has another two years of suppourt, so :D [03:54] cam-: Nothing there. Any way to do that using command line? [03:54] nado: hmm.. interesting! [03:54] anyone know why i wouldnt have a ethernet device (eth*) in /dev. Kernel module is loaded accorded to lsmod and the chipset is supported [03:54] quit: yeah, xorg has been a difficult upgrade... [03:54] hey guys, I am setting up a server @ home for a little wiki, nothing serious, and other test items... I already have an ubuntu desktop on my other laptop for working. Should I go with ubuntu for server or centos? [03:54] sebsebseb: hey that looks good. i will try that whenn i get home, i have to configure it from there. the only thing is though, it seems a little difficult to setup. essentially all i need is to have full access to that laptop from anywhere i connecct from [03:54] cam-: There used to be a nice java control panel [03:54] does anyone know how i can access a windows computer on my wireless network, i just want to file share ^__^ [03:54] nado: now after second try it shows up [03:54] codeshah -> toss a coin [03:54] cam-: is it ethernet device? [03:54] cam-: I forgot the name of the package ... [03:54] proj3ct2501: yeah the lap top your connecting to needs an SSH account [03:55] axisys, strange :) [03:55] needs to be in the CLI, so no network-manager :( [03:55] codeshah: you can use Ubuntu Desktop and put on the server stuff there [03:55] if i put an executable file in /user/local/bin i should be able to run that executable from anywhere in the system correct? [03:55] cam-: well if you do not have a eth0 as ifconfig tells you then the device is not seen or is not supported by linux what card is it? [03:55] sebsebseb: yah, the dynamic thing is messing me up though, i just created an account on dynDNS, i think i can use that [03:55] quit: completly differnet version from 8.04 of xorg in 8.10 [03:55] sebsebseb, thanks [03:55] never mine =] i found it [03:56] kitche: it [03:56] cam-: ? is that device or something [03:56] kitche: its a virtual machine, the kernel module is loaded, but there is no /dev/eth* for it [03:57] cam-: what is the virtual machine program your using? [03:57] cam- -> even for regular interfaces not even a vm, there are no such thing as /dev/eth0 [03:57] the chipset is supported.. ive installed ubuntu under vmware esx before and its worked fine.. this machine is copied from another esx server [03:57] Java applications are unable to connect to the net under Intrepid ... Any ideas? [03:57] like if i run "ifconfig" from any directory and it works, and i can tab complete that command, how do i add to the list of apps that i can tab-complete/run from anywhere [03:57] is it apt-get remove or apt-get uninstall, to remove software? [03:57] cam-: what does ifconfig -a tell you [03:57] RedMushroom: No idea, sorry. I was just identifying the acronym. DJGPP is like 15 years old; I'm surprised anyone still bothers with it. [03:57] skate2_, the first [03:57] now its loading the kernel module but its not creating the ethernet device [03:57] projkt4 -> look around for a tab_complete script [03:57] if i type sbminst -t us -d 0 at the dos prompt, and press enter, what will it do? [03:57] *checks* [03:58] i don't neccessarily want to just tab-complete [03:58] Bother - how do I boot in recovery mode using a Live CD? I need to figure out why my Xubuntu installation is b0rked. [03:58] ok.. i do appologise its there.. its now named itself eth2.. was there ever a /dev/eth* ? or am i just stupid? [03:58] cam- -> even for regular interfaces not even a vm, there are no such thing as /dev/eth* [03:59] do i need to have any other files to use with sbminst.exe? [03:59] projkt4: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/316 [03:59] hrmm.. maybe im thinking of another distro? i thought there was a /dev for it.. thanks anyway [03:59] quit oh no wonder I didn't get a reply to my KDE3/4 stuff, I thought you said the thing about KDE4 being a disaster, but it was EtFb [03:59] Welcome to the internets! :D [03:59] does anyone have much experience with Synergy?

[04:00] EtFb: Hmm? === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [04:01] NEver mind, he's gone. Did you do that? [04:01] @durt does the config for whether or not a client must respond stay on the server or client? [04:01] fearful, it won't execute o a linux box but if it's get's going like people think it will it can ddos anything. And this is ot. [04:01] EtFb: yeah he did, but now you told every op to look here :d [04:01] my network gives me a connected then disconnected not and when i run anything to try to make it work it tells me that it can't find host (on another computer) can someone help? [04:01] EtFb: who's gone? [04:02] durt, I see [04:02] sebsebseb: Sorry. Don't know how else to get an op's attention. is there a better way (ie less intrusive)? [04:02] theDigitalAngel: try /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/ControlPanel [04:02] CertifiedBus, you mean quicksynergy or synergy.conf? [04:02] just a guess.. i just did a quick google for you [04:02] EtFb: using their name [04:02] EtFb: you can alert us in #ubuntu-ops, yes. [04:02] projkt4 -> oh there is /etc/bash_completion script [04:02] !seek borderkind [04:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about seek borderkind [04:03] @durt I used quicksynergy initially but followed the instructions from SF to get it to boot automatically so I can control the client at login and after [04:03] sebsebseb: The chat program I'm using doesn't seem to show who's an op. [04:03] EtFb: I think they hide it [04:03] EtFb: sort of [04:03] Flannel, you're a rude little cock sucker. Fuck you and the dildo you rode in on. [04:03] Can anyone help me figure out why I can't connect to my samba server? Here goes my config: http://pastebin.com/dab3fec9 [04:03] kravlin -> what have you done to troubleshoot? [04:03] CertifiedBus, did you configure /etc/synergy.conf. There's ana example in /usr/share/doc/synergy/examples [04:04] Flannel: ok don't let that guy in soon again, if he complains in ubuntu-ops [04:04] Flannel: that was a pretty nasty one [04:04] xhat help needed [04:04] sebsebseb: Clearly there are things I have no idea about with IRC... [04:04] EtFb: same here [04:04] n8tuser: well, we isolated it to this laptop through trying different ways, my wireless works but i need wired. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot. [04:05] How can I suspend ubuntu 8.10 from fluxbox? [04:05] @durt stay tuned one sec [04:05] EtFb: which client? [04:05] sebsebseb: KVIrc. Sitting here at work on my Windoze box trying to build a Xunbuntu VM... [04:06] kravlin -> okay, can you describe and elaborate on your network layout? what is connected to what? what devices? [04:06] EtFb: not sure about that cient, but google xchat 2 and that's meant to be a good one for Windohs [04:06] any help? [04:06] !ask [04:06] 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. :-) [04:06] @durt hmm, cant find it but I am wondering will it matter if ubuntu is the client [04:06] vista is the server [04:07] sebsebseb, i aked several times [04:07] CertifiedBus, no just start synergyc with vista's IP. [04:07] asked even [04:07] Sal--: my bad, I missed it, just saw that, ignore that one then [04:07] sebsebseb: Naah, this is good enough. I'll just haunt #ubuntu-ops next time a bot comes calling, though with this channel I guess the ops are pretty focused so I don't need to, since they usually notice anyway. [04:07] how can I set up my computer to use the intel driver for my onboard-graphics card? [04:07] Now... what's the command to fix/install grub on a machine that's had it damaged somehow? [04:08] n8tuser: i'm on a school network, called the network tech etc and everything's running fine on their side. i have 3 computers the other 2 have no problems. they're all on a switch. they think it's gotta be something on my side (which is wholly possible.) I've always kinda been wary of networking on ubuntu but my wireless works fine. it's just my wired that doesn't. [04:08] !grub [04:08] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:08] is there a "tab" option in lynx? [04:08] @ durt is there a way to stop the server from auto disconnecting clients? I know there is a config setting but I thought it was off by default [04:08] EtFb: so yeah the how to's, but you can overwrite Grub with a new one [04:08] hi all - i upgraded 8.10 this morning and also removed pulse audio. now after reboot i hit the login screen and a dialogue opens that says "Authentication Failed". i hit ok - and it pops up again without giving me a chance to enter my password ever. It looks like its trying to auto-login as the single user is selected. Please helps - its basically bricked the laptop. === jason___ is now known as Jascase901 [04:09] kravlin -> okay do this, post in pastebin your ifconfig; iwconfig; route -n; cat /etc/resolv.conf; cat /etc/network/interfaces [04:09] CertifiedBus, sorry, never used synergy on windows. [04:09] @durt, aha [04:09] disappearedng, i've never seen a "tab" function in any of the test based browsers... [04:09] @durt thanks for the info though [04:09] I mean, it works flawlessly right now [04:10] typing this from my Vista machine [04:10] luddite -> you have your livecd still? boot from it to recover [04:10] n8tuser: i can't there's no wireless here on campus. they won't let us set up wireless in our dorm rooms. i'm using another computer. === junglist_ is now known as Ingsoc [04:10] n8tuser - i can do get into the console easily enough [04:10] so i can fix it there [04:11] kravlin -> then you have to copy the results, or put it in a usb dongle to transfer over then post [04:11] luddite -> if you can get into a console, you can log in okay? [04:11] Damn, the installation must be really frakked. I can't get grub to do anything with that virtual hard disk. [04:12] i'm really in a weird situation cause i can get the mount list locally from smbclient, but when i run smbclient outside the network, i can't seem to get it :( [04:12] anyone got a mirror for the nmap script to check for conficker? [04:12] hey guys whats the package i have to install in 9.04 to get the opensource ati catalyst drivers? [04:12] main sites down [04:12] n8user - well yes- but it auto logs the user in. Ive never set auto login up before so dont know why its doing that. [04:12] ForzaPalermo: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks. [04:12] Ingsoc -> you cant wait for one more day? :P [04:12] Ingsoc: #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support discussion, thanks. [04:13] luddite -> look around in /etc/pam.d for rules that allow auto login [04:13] cmonnnn someone throw me a bone [04:13] n8tuser - ok - will do. [04:13] Any1 here uses lynx?> [04:13] disappearedng: I have used it [04:14] How can I suspend ubuntu 8.10 from fluxbox? [04:14] Sal-- -> as a minimum, see if you can ping the remote hosts [04:14] disappearedng: it's fun, but limited in what it can do, since only a text browser, by the way you may want to try links as well [04:14] n8tuser, sure [04:14] i can even see that the port are open as well [04:14] connecting, i can't ;l [04:14] i do have an error in my syslog [04:14] care to take a look? [04:14] disappearedng: something to do with tab and lynx, was your issue? [04:14] Sal-- -> go ahead and post it in pastebin, well see [04:14] yeah [04:15] sebsebseb: well is it possible to use tabs? [04:15] i think it's super fun [04:15] techqber1: sudo echo -n S3 >/sys/power/state should work for shutting down from command line [04:15] disappearedng: since I haven't used lynx for such a long time, I can't really help, and don't want to re install it right now, but wait around and there will probably be someone else [04:15] Who is ready to ride out Conficker with me? I dare you all to not turn off your computers! [04:15] techqber1: just alias that and bind it to a menu somewhere [04:15] ok thx sebsebseb [04:15] zloog -> not a good idea without syncing your system first [04:15] anyone know where mailutils variables need to be set? [04:16] http://pastebin.com/d956f50a -- errors from syslog;;;;;;;;;;; http://pastebin.com/dab3fec9 ---- config [04:16] Mr_Orange: I think a better channel to ask that would be in #windows if any channel here on Freenode, but in this one it is rather off topic, considering that Conflicker does not infect Linux [04:16] n8tuser: what do you mean? [04:16] n8tuser: I wouldnt do it with unsaved files open but is there another danger? [04:17] with mencoder, how do i rip a DVD raw, I have the disk, and I am setting up a mythTV box, I want no compression, just raw video [04:17] if I run: smbclient -L dolox.com -U% locally on the same system thats hosting the samba server i get the listing fine no problem, but when i run it on a computer outside the network, such as my home computer, i get a connection failed [04:17] Woohoo Ubuntu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [04:17] well it timesout [04:17] Sal-- -> i took a peek and cant really understand what the error is about [04:17] Hey everyone :) I'm having a particular issue with Compiz-Fusion on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy). I'm trying to follow this tutorial: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/08/howto-completely-transparent-shell-on.html and while in the "Windows Decorations" Plugin of the Compiz Settings Manager, it asks me to add the line "!title=trans" to the Window Decorations field. This is supposed to set a rule for a particularly named [04:17] n8tuser : can i rename the gdm-autologin file ? will it kill anything? [04:17] Sal-- -> Most likely you have a port or ports blocked [04:18] staffanm [04:18] zloog -> shutting down a nix* system without sync is a bad practice [04:18] both ports are open friend [04:18] i've checked [04:18] For which values of 'both'? [04:18] 445 and 139 ? [04:18] luddite -> it should not, just remember the name [04:18] Where is my error restarting cups.. I did sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart and I get command not found. [04:18] is there a gnome app that will take a set of flac files and create an iso for burning a music cd? [04:19] any other ideas? [04:19] ok - thatnks- trying now [04:19] n8tuser: huh, thanks for the tip [04:19] Let me run it here and see what it does... [04:19] Izinucs -> cupsys not cups [04:19] http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ [04:19] n8tuser: ah.. thanks [04:19] plug in the ip & ports [04:20] Hey guys I have my router across the house and I have a box in the bedroom that does not get hardly any reception at all and has issues staying connected at all. Seems like the signal is great but once you get online I only get like 2 bars of connectivity. Is there a way that I can make an old box like an access point so that maybe my other pc's can get better reception? Or is there other... [04:20] ...things that I can do? [04:20] You're showing the open ports on the client or the server side? [04:21] server side [04:21] Any firewalling going on on the client side? [04:21] n8tuser : i commented out the pam lines and it still tries to autologin with a decreasing timer on retry- but i can still login now. so thats sort of fixed. thatnks [04:21] i've connected to samba shares many times from my home computer [04:21] more than likely not [04:21] can you connect [04:21] jimisrvrox, depends on what hardware you have [04:21] does anybody know how to save a rmtp streaming video [04:22] try to connect smb://ip/sal [04:22] tell me if it prompts you for a pass [04:22] that way we know for sure it's not me client side, even though i'm pretty sure it's not [04:22] the trick is that there are a set of flac files but I have no cd burner, so I want to generate an iso to burn this audio cd and move the iso to another system that actually has access to the cdburner [04:22] I'm pretty sure that //ip won't resolve for me :) [04:23] use hte ip from the pastebin [04:23] of course :l [04:23] stranger thing is i don't see any connection attempts in the syslog [04:23] but that may be normal, i might have to jack up the logging on this [04:23] not sure if i can though [04:24] I just tried and got a logon failure message. Do you see the attempt? [04:24] nope [04:25] !btnx [04:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about btnx [04:25] i have syslog set to 1 [04:25] should it be at 5 or something? [04:25] why isnt linux so full of security risks, since it open source, wouldnt it be easy to find all the loop holes and crack in? [04:25] is there a replacement for btnx in 8.10? [04:25] i'm presuming it's supressing errors/connections [04:25] I have a question about dual booting and accessing files on my windows 'partition.' Is there anyone who could help? I'd appreciate it. [04:25] cause even if i connect locally, i dont see it logged [04:26] You control both sides, right? [04:26] Do you have a log.smbd file? [04:26] n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/m211ce34a [04:26] steffanm, yes and yes [04:27] Pantlessjim: i currently dual boot [04:27] How do I know if I have a 64bit architecture or not? [04:27] steffanm, can i jack up the syslog setting to 5 [04:27] Between that & setting a higher debug level you should see *something* [04:27] Try 5 [04:27] so it will show me more verbose logging? [04:27] yeah thats what im figuring [04:27] It should [04:27] 1 second [04:27] Ah great. Mind if I pick your brain mib_wgs2a9? [04:27] np [04:27] durt: what do you mean by what hardware? [04:28] hi,how to install kernel source for my kernel? [04:28] kravlin -> try this, sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0 and then do ifconfig to see if an ip address is assigned to your eth0 [04:28] !kernel-soruce [04:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about kernel-soruce [04:28] ok yeah [04:28] now i see myself connected locally [04:28] durt: because from what I understand is that you can take an old computer and as long as you have a wireless card to serve as an access point that you can do something to make the box itself like the access point... [04:28] in the syslog, but i dont see my attempt coming from outside to get a mount listing [04:28] i got it already,thanks [04:28] it's just timing out..... hmmmmmmmm odd :( [04:29] Pantlessjim: what do you need help with [04:29] Well, I Installed ubuntu 8.10 inside of windows. I don't actually have a dedicated partition for ubuntu. From my understanding, when the computer boots and I choose ubuntu, an image is loaded and I can access the operating system. I was wondering how I can access my windows files through ubuntu. Example, a picture for wallpaper [04:30] I'll try to do a tcpdump here and see what it's doing when trying to connect. [04:30] steffanm , i have it set to syslog only, so if it doesn't show up there it's not in any other logs [04:30] ok im tailing [04:30] n8user : the first command says interface eth0 not configured [04:30] I mean trying a client / server combo on my own system [04:30] [2009/03/31 20:30:23, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_connect(69) Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost:631 - Connection refused [04:31] i keep getting this, but that's just the print server [04:31] does anybody have problem with bluetooth mouse working with laptop? [04:31] it goes in and out [04:31] Do you have cupsd running? [obvious question, I know] [04:32] no i don't [04:32] i have no need for it [04:32] and the printer stuff is actually commente dout in my config, so no idea why it's even bothering [04:32] it works fine and when it goes to sleep mode or turns off it wont work again [04:33] i really dread having to install SWAT, but if i have no other choice, then i will :( [04:33] What works fine and then stops? SMB? [04:33] huh? i didnt say that ;x [04:33] hi,can i know whats linux-header?? [04:33] Oh, sorry [04:33] :) [04:34] i want to try my luck to configure kernel but at last i want to kno about it [04:34] what a bitch this is [04:34] n8tuser : the first command says interface eth0 not configured [04:34] im thinking maybe its a routing issue [04:34] but the ports are wide open, so that doesnt make sense [04:35] kravlin -> try to add in your interfaces file these... auto eth0; iface eth0 inet dhcp [04:35] pliz answer my question [04:35] any bluetooth mouse help? === zackjones is now known as zackJones [04:35] Pantlessjim: it should be in /host http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=684877 [04:36] Sal--> Have you tried smbclient with -d to get more info out of it? [04:36] mib_wgs2a9: Mate you are a genius. Thanks for digging that up. Couldn't find it for the life of me [04:36] no.. locally? [04:36] No, remotely - that's where you're having the prob, right? [04:36] n8tuser: where are the interfaces file? [04:37] Sal--: type http://localhost:631 in a browser and see what you get [04:37] yeah [04:37] doing it now [04:37] n8tuser: or is rather [04:37] n8tuser: i can type. i swear [04:37] kravlin /etc/network/interfaces man interfaces [04:37] twolane, 631 is closed [04:37] wanna-learn-more-> linux-header is typically the package that has the linux kernel header files that are used for compiling the kernel [04:37] steffanm: how eliminate the popups that ask "Are you sure?" when you kill an xterm? [04:37] Any suggestions on a media player w/ a library that isnt SongBird or RhythmBox? (songbird is too slow and RhythmBox crashes too much) [04:38] What's "ubiquity"? Should I be worried that it crashed while I was installing Xubuntu? [04:38] is there a way to embed ubuntu onto a webpage where it is a real OS on a machine but it just streams images to the site and ppl can interact with it, or just have a ts client on the page? [04:38] timmytheraw: esperanza (xmms2) [04:38] seb-> I haven't seen that particular popup. Is it actual 'xterm', or gnome-terminal? [04:38] thanks seb [04:38] Sal--: cupsys isn't running most likely. look for port 631 in netstat -tunap [04:38] steffanm , just a timeout [04:38] EtFb: i believe that is the ubuntu installer, not sure though [04:38] steffanm: gnome-terminal [04:38] twolane, i'm not running cupsys [04:38] Sal--: woops, sorry. [04:39] steffanm: i'm running the jaunty beta and it came up [04:39] there will be no printing at all via smb [04:39] so i don't need it :l [04:39] mib_wgs2a9: Terrific. That would explain why I can't boot. Bugger this for a game of soldiers; I'm installing Kubuntu 8.04. At least I know it works. Xubuntu seems to be maintained by monkeys. [04:39] seb-> Probably under edit..Profiles there may be a setting for disabling that [04:39] Hi [04:39] and can i ask u when ubuntu 9.10 will be there? [04:39] Sal -> Any luck w/ running smbclient -d ? [04:40] steffanm: are gnome-terms that much better? maybe i can just run just xterms [04:40] steffanm , just a timeout [04:40] timeout on 445 and 139 [04:40] Sal-> Do you have nmap? [04:40] i also got: ould not test socket option TCP_NODELAY. [04:40] Could* [04:40] steffanm, no why? [04:41] wanna_learn_more: The version numbers for Ubuntu are dates: 8.04 came out in 2008/04 (ie April); 9.10 will be October 2009. [04:41] n8tuser: ok. now it sits there for a while before disconnecting me. [04:41] Sal-- > You might want to run nmap on the server from the client and see what it reports as ports open. How are you determining now which ports are open? [04:41] http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ [04:41] kravlin -> try this, sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0 and then do ifconfig to see if an ip address is assigned to your eth0 [04:42] seb -> gnome-terminal has more features, i.e., Tabs, but is a heavier weight client. xterms are small and a little faster, but probably won't make much difference on modern hw [04:42] i guesse i should adjust the clipboard [04:42] hello i have a dell inspiron 8600 laptop and im having serious xorg nvidia issues can somone help me ? [04:42] woot irssi 0.8.13 [04:42] Since you'd be running nmap on the client, it could help you determine whether the end-to-end path is okay [04:42] im really thinking either [04:42] well i think something in the log [04:42] is telling it... local only [04:43] or inside hte network only [04:43] On the server? [04:43] n8tuser: still getting the same error. that it's not configured [04:43] yes [04:44] did you look @ my config steffanm ? [04:44] Is it possible the client could be the problem, though? [04:44] I didn't see your config [04:44] Did you past it? [04:44] i pasted it above [04:44] paste [04:44] kravlin -> post your /etc/network/interfaces again after you added what i suggested? [04:44] yeah [04:44] just a sec [04:44] steffanm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:44] http://pastebin.com/dab3fec9 [04:44] thx [04:45] ps: i've commented printing and printcap name [04:45] and syslog is 5 [04:45] Your config looks fine at first glance [04:45] my window list will not restore to the current workspace...and it's driving me insane with every involuntary revolution [04:45] Plus you're able to run smbclient locally [04:45] halp [04:46] So I don't think it's a config prob on the server [04:46] correct [04:46] well [04:46] 2 reasonably more than likely answers [04:46] 1 somewhere along the line routing is screwed up....... 2 something in the config isn't saying hey... let ppl outside this local net access me [04:46] im thinking #2 [04:46] afaik there's no setting in the smb.conf that will restrict to local net [04:47] You using iptables anywhere? [04:47] nope :l [04:47] (on the client, most likely) [04:47] I still think that's where the problem lies. [04:47] n8user: http://pastebin.com/m728be66a [04:47] So are you even getting a password prompt from your client? [04:47] Or getting a logon failure message? [04:47] neither [04:47] just a timeout [04:47] i'm not even seeing the connect attempt via syslog [04:48] I actually received a logon failure message from _here_ [04:48] If you're not getting that, then you have a client connectivity issue [04:48] steffanm: interfaces=xxx will restrict it to one interface, if you have dual NICs. I have mine ignoring all connections from the WAN IP. [04:48] yeah [04:48] Thanks, PhotoJim - I forgot about the actual *interface*... :/ [04:48] but you tried yourself [04:48] and i dont see your attempt either [04:48] mind trying again ? [04:48] steffanm: still best to firewall though. :) [04:48] Sal--: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:48] Sure... [04:49] wait... [04:49] Just tried, got a logon failure === jscinoz_ is now known as jscinoz [04:49] timeout ? [04:49] Nope. It's actually negotiating w/ the server [04:50] Naturally I don't have a password. You could post one here ;) [04:50] zloog: nice thanks so much. [04:50] I ran it with -d 5 [04:50] It does show the neg. steps [04:50] hey there, a friend of mine downloaded and burned the Server edition (I think its 8.04). however, he needs the desktop install. I remember in some earlier version that a parameter could be passed to the server install to have it actually install a desktop. I've been looking for the equivalent option for this release8.x server disc but I cant find it. Does anyone know if this 8.x server releases supports an optio [04:50] oh snap. An unbuntu server? Wicked [04:50] hi, i'm watching a flash on nasa.gov and was wondering where is the tmp dir that firefox saves the flash file in ? i looked in /tmp and also in firefox/cache but its not there [04:50] weird it looks like you tried to connect [04:50] If you're not getting that from your client, then the client is blocking the conx [04:50] Can anyone tell me how to get my USB speakers working? [04:51] Sal-- -> Well, _yeah_ :/ [04:51] dont see your ip [04:51] but got a bunch of those log msgs a second ago which i havent seen before [04:51] I think I tried 3 times [04:51] theobroma, i think it asks you if you want a gui, cant remember-anyway u can apt-get ubuntu-desktop [04:51] steffanm tell me the full command your trying [04:51] smbclient -L 216.75.63.125 -d 5 [04:51] i got that message about 20 times, within 10 seconds [04:51] What's the difference between using socket:// and ipp:// for a networked printer? [04:52] n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/m728be66a [04:52] how do I turn off brightness auto-adjustment? [04:52] mind trying again [04:53] just to make sure that wasnt a fluke, cause i just tried reconnecting, i see nothing in my syslog [04:53] Just tried [04:53] in battery mode it goes darker and darker until I can't see the text. pressing fn+'brightness up' takes a long time to respond, and then it goes darker afterwards anyway. [04:53] nah, nothing [04:54] Try smbclient -L -d 5 and paste [04:54] Actually, -d 4 [04:54] 1 sec [04:57] steffanm: http://pastebin.com/m46794f69 [04:57] You're definitely getting your connection blocked [04:58] Do bogomips reported in /proc/cpuinfo take into account dual core processors? If I compare my system and AMD 64X2 3209MHz to that of a Celeron 398MHz there is an approximate 8X difference, but there are two cores running at that speed. The bogomips of the AMD are 6419.57 vs Celeron at 796 bogomips also a 8X difference, shouldn't this actually be a 16X difference? [04:58] Sal-- ->What OS are you running on the client? [04:58] i've been playing with tasklists in gnome [04:58] Mac OS X [04:58] ZykoticK9: bogomips are utterly useless anyway [04:59] might as well call them bogusmips [04:59] staffanm btw thanks for helping me in this edge case scenario :( [04:59] ZykoticK9, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogomip they're really just for figuring out an internal timing loop [04:59] ryanakca, ya "how fast can you do nothing" it's a funny but I think useful measurement (I know it's not to be taken too seriously) [04:59] No problem. We'll figure it out [05:00] Sal-- -> Just for fun, try this: nmap -sT localhost -p 445,139 [05:00] Hello, I downloaded the Hosts file from mvps.org to block unwanted Web stuff. I don't know how to install it in Ubuntu 8.10 though... I see a hosts file, a hosts.deny file, and a hosts.allow file. Which should I edit? [05:00] Actually, replace with the IP of the server [05:00] Run it from the client [05:00] don't have it locally :l [05:01] n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/m728be66a This help much? sorry. i'm still learning linux through trial and error so any help is useful. [05:01] staffanm, did you just try to connect again [05:01] Sal-- -> How about telnet 445 [05:01] No, I didn't try to connect [05:01] check msgs [05:01] i get that repeated a bunch of times outo f nowhere [05:02] Is that on your server or the client? [05:02] server, in my syslog [05:02] ok now i tried the telnet command and i get a new message in syslog [05:03] on the client side, it's just stuck at trying ip..... [05:03] So, running on the server you get the message, running on the client you get stuck? [05:03] HI with efax-gtk - where can I find the sent faxes in the file system to use a different appl to view them than the built-in one? [05:04] yes [05:04] well wait [05:04] is that your ip [05:04] that i pated to you? [05:04] Nope, mind is on the 216 class A also [05:04] err that i pasted to you*? cause it's not mines [05:04] fixed my bluetooth mouse. i have to delete the mouse in bluetooth manager and added it back again... this is nusauce [05:04] The 70.x.x.x? [05:04] Not me [05:04] is there permenant fix to this? [05:04] not me either, wtf is it? [05:05] n8tuser - i corrected it via timed-login option. so now it is back to normal - weird about that however. Thankyou so much [05:05] i'm 69.x.x.x [05:05] or going at the problem from different angle - what format are the sent faxes in efax-gtk saved in?? [05:05] Well, being that your server is on the net, it's probably constantly getting scanned by random malware [05:05] how many of you run antivirus software in linux? [05:06] why would i? [05:06] possibly [05:06] anyway i'm baffled [05:06] so why there is a lot of antivirus software for linux? [05:06] server side scanning [05:07] hi guys [05:07] Sal-- -> So how does your client machine connect to the internet? [05:07] you can setup your linux as a cache or mail server [05:07] tuxFan: so if you're using a linux box as a webserver or a filesever you don't share viri? [05:07] throw a router [05:07] then have it scan the data prior to getting to clients [05:07] nah desktop user [05:07] through* even..... i don't see that this would be an issue, seeing as you cannot connect either :( [05:08] tuxFan: no need [05:08] i'm from brazil and i am developing an ldap improvement with gconf-editor [05:08] n8tuser: You still there? [05:08] any sugestions [05:08] ? [05:08] On the contrary, I think I can connect. In fact, I can get all the way to the login point [05:08] ok thx , krystal clear [05:08] fabio: ldap and gconf? why? [05:08] Is your machine Cable, DSL, FiOS? [05:08] What kind of router? [05:09] Airport Extreme, Apple [05:09] low cost alternative to activve directory and group policy [05:09] Does anyone know of a way to reset the audio settings in ubuntu to a "factory default" type setting? [05:09] i dont even see you in the logs, which scares me [05:09] Okay. That may explain it... I don't have one here to test with, though [05:09] if it was just me, then i'd know i'm the problem [05:10] but i've mounted samba shares recently [05:10] how to define a printer to work with lpr ?? [05:10] so i'm arguing that as out of the answer :( === baba_boo is now known as baba_booie [05:10] Did you mount the samba shares from the client? [05:10] this computer i'm talking to you on, yes [05:10] And it doesn't work now [05:10] not on this server we're trying, but other servers [05:10] * kravlin seems to have lost his help.... damn. [05:10] anybody have an intel 4500 graphics chipset working with the intel driver? [05:10] and it does work [05:10] efax-gtk says it will print sent faxes with lpr but when trying to do this it says no target defind for lpr?? [05:10] do you have a share [05:10] So it works on other servers, but it hasn't worked on the computer you're on now, correct? [05:10] that i can do a test mount on? [05:11] zloog: I get a permission denied even with sudo. Hrm. [05:11] this computer, i've mounted shares locally [05:11] never externally tried to be honest === baba_booie is now known as baba_b00ie [05:12] What OS is on the computer you're on? [05:12] trying to get my network working, whenever i run ifdown on eth0 it tells me the interface isn't configured and it won't connect to the wired network. help? [05:12] steffanm: Mac OS X [05:12] Oooohhh.... [05:12] anyone know how to determine which partition belongs to which HDD? [05:12] Well...That may explain it... [05:13] Mac OS X (client).... server Ubuntu [05:13] I had problems myself with that on my local network [05:13] OSX -> a samba server [05:13] Just a sec... [05:13] OS X connects great to Linux networking. NFS is native to both. the only issue is uids. you have to renumber them on the Mac to make them match what is on your server, to keep file permissions sensible. === flo_ is now known as pepper [05:16] PhotoJim -> It does connect great...eventually :) [05:16] Sal-- -> Go to your System Preferences...Security [05:16] ok [05:16] Take a look at your firewall settings, possibly enable firewall logging [05:16] steffanm: my wife's Macbook connects to my Ubuntu server quickly. I just have the mount points in /etc/fstab like you would on a Linux box. [05:16] Take a look at the firewall logs - you'll probably see that it is blocking smb connections [05:17] PhotoJim: I had a problem with the firewall blocking my connection initially [05:17] IIRC, anyway. [05:17] I made a setting change and it worked. [05:17] hi i need a million dollars [05:17] May have been server vs. client, though [05:17] steffanm: ahh. my firewall doesn't block connections on my LAN subnet. I figure between having lockable doors and WPA, my network is secure enough :) [05:18] PhotoJim: Make sure you have lockable windows, too. (And Windows) [05:19] If someone wants to go to that much work, they can copy my MP3s all they want, I figure :) [05:19] this is my first IRC experience...just testing [05:19] how do i get a custom username? [05:19] ... /nick NewName [05:19] thanks [05:19] steffanm it worked for you? [05:20] i'm not seeing it in my logs === User3719 is now known as elros [05:20] trying to get my network working, whenever i run ifdown on eth0 it tells me the interface isn't configured and it won't connect to the wired network. help? (i hate spamming but i'm not sure what else to do) [05:20] kingkaro: Invest $5 at 5% annually and wait for 253 years === elros is now known as elros_azothi [05:20] hi [05:20] I need a million dollars or they kill me [05:21] hey karthik [05:21] paypal? [05:21] hey elros_azothi [05:21] i need help reinstalling a graphics driver. when i do sudo init 3 do i do it from tty1? or do i do it from any console in the screen i am on now? [05:21] Sal -> I just pasted the output from -d 4 [05:22] kravlin -> did you paste yet the /etc/network/interfaces file after the added lines? [05:22] n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/m728be66a [05:23] kravlin can you also post the results of sudo lshw -C network and ifconfig again === elros_azothi is now known as elros === elros is now known as azoth === azoth is now known as Az0th [05:25] hey guys i need help [05:25] how to mount my dynamic and ntfs hard drives on ubuntu [05:25] ? === Az0th is now known as elros_azothi [05:26] someone can help me [05:26] I cant' connect to locamhost using SSH [05:27] jmp: Do you have openssh server installed? [05:27] yeah [05:27] guys answer me [05:27] I've already install it [05:28] Are you connecting to locemhost or localhost? [05:28] *locamhost [05:28] localhost [05:28] sorry [05:29] n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/m21abc1f9 [05:29] guys.. I want to have an IRC channel inside my office with certain channels as password protected... a channel for SVN commit logs, etc. - is there any IRC server that you guys recommend ? [05:29] Aye, it's been a while since I've booted to Ubuntu, but jmp: Try running /etc/init.d/opensshd restart [05:30] Someone correct me if I used the wrong name of the script. [05:30] the message error is : connect to host "my IP" port 22 : connection failed [05:30] jmp: netstat -tuan. [05:30] SandGorgon: we use ircd-ircu on our local IRC network. I've not tried any of the alternatives. [05:30] cjpro ok I'm trying it [05:30] *netstat -tuan [05:30] kravlin -> and what is the error you get when you do sudo ifup eth0 ? [05:30] Check to see if :22 is open. [05:31] PhotoJim: what do you guys use ur irc network for ? [05:31] SandGorgon: practically every ircd supports using '/mode #channel +k password' [05:32] lstarnes: all right... I was looking at InspireIRCd cos it has integration with LDAP as well [05:32] SandGorgon: social use. we have maybe 30 or 40 people on it, on half a dozen channels. [05:32] allright [05:32] SandGorgon: ircd-ircu supports the password feature lstarnes mentioned. [05:32] n8tuser: unknown hardware address type 801 then it listens then runs DHCP discover, and then doesn't get anything. [05:33] SandGorgon: it's the IRC software the Undernet network uses. [05:33] SandGorgon: I would also recommend using atheme as the services package in addition to an ircd like inspircd or ircu. atheme has some ldap support in its development branch [05:33] PhotoJim: thanks.. I'll take a look at that [05:33] how , I do to know if 22 is open [05:33] lstarnes: checking it out.. [05:34] cause it's print before "Active connections server established" [05:35] Does anyone know anything about problems with missing pygtk module in Jaunty beta? [05:35] kravlin am curious can you tell me what files are listed in /sys/class/net [05:35] man im under windows cause ubuntu wont work anything :( [05:35] what do you mean Maximo? [05:35] ehm [05:35] at start-up I get that tomboy not editing app error message [05:36] ah [05:36] jmp -> netstat -a |grep 22 [05:36] n8tuser: eth0, lo, pan0, wlan0, wmaster0 [05:36] lol i wish i could help u but im pretty nooby with linux [05:36] night [05:36] that actually ask me if i wanna keep it like this or if Id rather kill it from my configuration [05:36] odd [05:36] then, pidgin crashes when i log in to msn [05:36] well im running it on my EEEPC [05:37] works fine [05:37] and wine wont work either, wine applications will run minimized , not to say, invisible, to desktop but still running when i actually check the running process [05:37] kravlin -> it looks like your e1000e driver is not working, dont know if gigabit is supported in ubuntu, you may have to find the driver for you intel card [05:37] heh [05:37] jmp try netstat -n -p [05:37] and people say that Linux is ready for the desktop [05:37] its close...but still so far [05:37] Was hoping I could possibly get a bit of assistance, i'm getting a GRUB Error 17 when I boot... however when i stick my ubuntu disc in and tell it to boot from the first hard disk, it works just fine. Any websites I can check / read up on for assistance? [05:38] ok i have ubuntu installed inside windows... now is posible to open the windows drive? [05:38] inside of ubuntu of course [05:38] MBDL: did you use Virtualbox? [05:38] n8tuser: how would i do that? [05:38] no [05:38] its like dual booting [05:39] MBDL: you done wubi you mean? [05:39] anyone know how to determine which partition belongs to which HDD? [05:39] its an option when u insert the disk inside windows [05:39] yes! [05:39] MBDL: yep wubi [05:39] sebsebseb:yes wubi [05:39] does anyone knows what happens with my local installations (i.e. those that I installed manually) if I upgrade my ubuntu? Do they dissapear? [05:39] kravlin -> try to google for ubuntu + gigabit and see what shows up, i know ubuntu supports 100Meg but not sure about gigabit [05:39] MBDL inside windows , what do you means by [05:39] MBDL: I think there is a /host folder on there some where, which is your Windows [05:39] MBDL: Wubi is only good for trying [05:40] MBDL: quite a few draw backs with it as well [05:40] sebsebseb: ok found that folder [05:40] sebsebseb: and its there [05:41] hi [05:41] MBDL: if your NTFS partition goes bad, a virus or whatever, that will effect wubi/ubuntu as well. also if you haven't defragged Windows, wubi can be rather slow, and there are other reasons. one of the Ubuntu ops in particular woudn't recommend wubi by the way [05:41] Hi, I get a nice static/radio-like sound during startup, how would I go about debugging that o.O? [05:41] sebsebseb: the only reason i did use it was because my hp laptop would stop the ubuntu disk from booting [05:41] MBDL: plus I belive there are a few other reasons why Wubi isn't good, but I am not entirely sure about them [05:42] unix 22 [] STREAM connected 34103 /tmp/ .X11/Unix/X0 [05:42] MBDL: bad CD? [05:42] n8tuser: looks like it supports it. i had to reinstall network manager which could have totally messed this up. not sure how to fix... [05:42] sebsebseb: mine isnt a supported model.. and thats what i thought... but i googled and it was my graphic card... [05:42] MBDL: the CD should work, as long as the ISO you burnt from was good which can be checked, and the CD was burnt slow enough [05:42] !md5sum [05:42] To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [05:43] and i tryed nogui and all the other commands and it would get goto a black screen instead of the ubuntu desktop [05:43] thanks for your help [05:43] whoa this is new to me, running a vmware in bridge mode, I am able to acquire a second ip address from same dhcp as my host gets it from.. and it does not even show up in ifconfig [05:43] sebsebseb: they were org ubuntu disks [05:43] i_need_money: who's help? [05:43] kravlin -> try wicd to replace nm [05:43] does anyone knows what happens with my local installations (i.e. those that I installed manually) if I upgrade my ubuntu? Do they dissapear?

[05:47] MindVirus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:47] it's always not possible to connect to localhost ussing SSH [05:47] MindVirus: how much RAM do you have? and do you have a Windows CD? [05:47] That's cute. [05:47] sebsebseb: thats what i thought... but the live cd freezes right when the desktops supposed to load [05:47] MindVirus: you can run Windows inside Ubuntu, for your ipod stuff, if nessarey [05:47] hey i want to transfer 177gigs from 1 external to another external .. what is faster mv or rsync ? or what is faster then both of them ? [05:47] sebsebseb: its a known issue with my laptop iv found with searching with google...\ [05:48] sebsebseb, no chance. [05:48] ever since then i used wubi [05:48] MindVirus: no why not?

[05:49] if you can mount the filesystem, mv [05:49] sebsebseb: i was able to upgrade from 7.10 [05:49] MindVirus: sure, but a peice of hardware that does what you want, and works nicely with Linux [05:49] MindVirus: buy not but [05:50] That's what I did. [05:50] but havent tryed yet burning the beta to disk and installing [05:50] My 2nd generation Nano worked perfectly. [05:50] MBDL: don't do 9.04 yet [05:50] I'm going to try to use Banshee.

[05:57] n8tuser: ok. i'll attempt it once i have a wireless connection again. [05:57] sebsebseb: yes i perfer partitions... works WAY BETTER i know less drawbacks and if something goes wrong its easy as 123 to reinstall [05:57] jmp, stop blocking port 22? [05:57] I'm workind on intrepid [05:57] so am i [05:57] sebsebseb: well got to head to bed... moving in the morning... [05:57] MBDL: well 9.04 isn't really meant to be suppourted in here, but I am banned still from the channel for it, we could go pm, but no ops or anyone complaining, and your issue is not 9.04 specfic anyway [05:57] MBDL: ok well [05:57] !install [05:57] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - see also !automate [05:58] MBDL: many ways to install Ubuntu, try and partition later on, instead of doing wubi [05:58] MBDL: as in wait for 9.04 final and then partition [05:58] Anyone ? Is it possible to ping through a router made of ubuntu with only creating routes and activating ip_forward ? [05:58] how do I know it's block ? [05:58] MBDL: only a few weeks now [05:58] sebsebseb: yes i know that what ill do wait till the full release [05:58] aranyik, you want to ping through your router? [05:58] im using network-manager-pptp trying to setup a pptp connection. it gets connected but im having a couple problems. 1) it's using the dns info from the pptp server, which i don't want. and 2) it's routing all traffic rather than subnet specific traffic through the pptp connection. anyone know if there is an easy way to fix this with network-manager-pptp? [05:58] MBDL: and you could be like me, and wait for some good Ext4 in jaunty veiws before putting on properly with Ext4 [05:58] sebsebseb: and sorry to say i haft to head to bed moving in the morning [05:59] MBDL: I am running the beta on Ext3 at the moment. I had alpha6 before, anyway yeah bye [05:59] sebsebseb: thx for your help [05:59] MBDL: no problem [05:59] Bye everyone thx for chatting :P [05:59] Svenstaro, well I'm dreaming that some day I'll be able to use it as a router-firewall and have my private network, but for now just pingning outside of it would be so great! [06:00] how to install a tarbz2? [06:00] !tar [06:00] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [06:00] aranyik, I would use a dedicated box for security reasons for a router. Use IPCop or something similar. I'm using it right now and it's been running for years without mucking. [06:00] sudo get-apt instll [06:00] !tar [06:00] moldonond: extract it. then cd into that folder. and I guess it's like .tar.gz and so. ./configure make make install [06:01] moldonond: and you might have some dependancies to sort out before it will install [06:01] what is gdm's default runlevels? [06:01] moldonond: what do you want to installl anyway? there may be a deb for ubuntu [06:01] 2 3 4 5 S ? [06:01] 2 3 4 5 S ? GDM default runlevels [06:01] Svenstaro, Is there CLI version or only GUI ? [06:02] ok thank very much [06:02] how can i use ping know that the source rate [06:02] aranyik, you usually use the webinterface to do stuff. You only use the cli to install stuff like binary addons but everything else is done in the web ui. I liked IPCop so much I put up a box on my school. [06:03] MBDL: I just made sure the US server was selected and then I selected xulrunner and several of the qt packages for reinstallation-- is that the right concept or am I off? [06:04] Svenstaro, ok I'll take a look right now, thanks! [06:04] aranyik, there's a large community around it so you should be fine in case you run into problems. [06:04] Svenstaro, OK :D great! [06:04] aranyik, good luck [06:05] Svenstaro, thanks ! === adam is now known as Guest71623 === tonguero_ is now known as tongueroo_ [06:09] test [06:09] hello [06:10] PING!

[06:20] sebsebseb: right, i understand the difference in apps and they are envs, but there is no difference other than that? like.. any advantages/disadvantages of either one?

[07:30] Persi, if you require speed...I'd suggest Xubuntu. [07:30] It's much lighter. [07:30] Persi: Jaunty help is in #ubuntu+1 (and you'll need to be more specific than that) [07:30] andrew_: did you try ifconfig eth1 up [07:30] whats easy peasy offer that ubuntu doesn't?

[07:50] ynk LOL!!!!! [07:50] raddad pls tell where in preference? [07:50] look at that file and think [07:50] gogeta, hehe [07:51] elhugodor: [07:51] Port Specifies the port number that sshd(8) listens on. The default is 22. Multiple options of this type are permitted. See also ListenAddress. [07:51] from man sshd_config [07:51] gogeta, i'm not sure what you mean. i merely did a google search on finding a driver for my radeon hd 2600xt. [07:51] ynk think [07:51] gogeta, do you mena that the site doesn't look legit? [07:51] ynk sites fine [07:52] ynk what os are we running [07:52] anybody pls help me to make my firefox online permenently [07:52] ynk lol [07:52] gogeta, OMG!

LoL [07:53] ynk lol i was wating for it to catch lol [07:53] but now i must find the right drivers. -sigh- [07:53] look n the ati site [07:53] on [07:53] k [07:54] or [07:54] ynk apt-get install fglx [07:54] hey everyone does anyone know why sometimes when I power on my computer my wireless connection doesn't try to connect automatically, everyonce in a while I will have to manually tell it to connect. [07:54] ubuntu ati drivers [07:55] gogeta, "couldn't find package fglx" [07:55] well, let me have a look on the radeon site really quick... [07:56] I just installed gwibber (tried from both the regular repos as well as the gwibber team's PPA) and it keeps crashing from both sources. Heres the output from gwibber 0.80 (the version from the Jaunty repos): http://pastebin.com/d49dacd6e [07:56] ynk sudo apt-get install fglrx [07:57] gogeta, couldn't find that package either. [07:57] wtf [07:57] alright, got a new PC and installed Ubuntu LTS. the device manager nvidia drivers wouldn't work for me so I downloaded the one I needed from the nvidia site. [07:58] using storage device manager what does the remove button do [07:58] Hi All [07:58] after stopping gdm, installing the drivers, and starting it back up again. everything worked great. however, if I reboot I go back to low graphics mode. [07:58] Hi. This Ubuntu 8.04 Server is locking me out. Can't log in at all. I think this happend after i copied from a partition to the / partition. http://www.mrjohnsen.net/problem.jpg [07:59] hey, so, I have a quick question [07:59] reinstalling the drivers the same way gets me back in to graphics properly so I've also tried a few time saving the xorg.conf with nvidia-settings. that also has not worked [07:59] it seems like building from source is avoided for Ubuntu [07:59] is this true? [08:00] BBT: building from source works fine, I do it when I feel it necessary. though most things are more easily accessible via deb [08:00] hmm [08:00] not mono 2.4 [08:00] I wanted to know is there any software for ubuntu that reads from a english text file or pdf and gives audio output [08:00] :-( [08:01] I personally find that using .deb files just was there to make it easier for newer users to adapt to ubuntu/linux, but I could be dead wrong there o_o [08:01] can some1 help with external HD? it was working before but now i can see it! [08:01] BBT: did you `sudo aptitude install build-essential` ? [08:01] you don't want to see it? :P [08:01] no, I could try that [08:01] that... [08:01] would be the reason [08:02] I'd think >_>; [08:02] -_- [08:02] BBT: it's required for building from source [08:02] XD [08:02] oh, well I must already have it because I've built from source before [08:02] it's the package with make, etc with it [08:02] but I think it screwed up the distro's version of mono [08:02] after I did make install [08:02] Hi all im just wondering when im at work how do i connect through remote desktop to this computer? its jsut that this computer is running through a router so ip address is 10.0.0.2 or something like that how would i connect directly to this computer? [08:03] oliver_: forward port 5900 in your router settings to your PC [08:03] oliver_: then use realvnc or vncviewer to connect from work to your IP [08:04] I wanted to know is there any software for ubuntu that reads from a english text file or pdf and gives audio output ? [08:05] Gadu, am i able to use the standard Win XP remote access software? [08:05] what are the disadvantages of installing Ubuntu within an existing windows installation? [08:05] gajan: I don't know any off the top of my head but at the very least I know there are websites that are able to do that (I use a french one) [08:05] oliver_: you won't be able to use the winXP remove software to connect to your home ubuntu install [08:06] yet [08:06] in PySDM what does the remove button do [08:06] oliver_: you may be better off installing ubuntu with qemu on a usb device and using that at work? [08:06] Gadu : Can u pls give me the url of some of them ? [08:07] Gadu : as i am googling for some time on this [08:07] gajan: I can give you a french one lol [08:07] gajan: I found that one through google [08:07] Gadu, oh right the xp remote desktop dosen't allow sharing its just remote desktop [08:08] Gadu : Ok , let me try once more . Thanks [08:08] I am getting the following error trying to install apache: [08:08] Err http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main libssl-dev 0.9.8g-4ubuntu3.4 [08:08] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.40 80] [08:08] hmmm, hey guys, had bad experiences with iptables so safest to ask. How can I block all traffic to port 123 EXCEPT from the IP 1.2.3.4? [08:08] I can ping archive.ubuntu [08:09] bugfux: I'll check for you, 1 sec [08:09] k [08:09] thank you [08:09] which compiler do you guys recommend on this OS? ..or does everyone just use GEdit? [08:10] for developing with Java.. [08:10] sorry. left that part out. [08:10] hi. i need some help. i have 300 photos out of which i need to create contact sheets of 35 photos per page, with the filename under each photo. however, ubuntu does not seem to have a tool who can accomplish such a task, in its base programs or repos. the gimp contact sheet plugin crashes, and gthumb can't display the filename without the entire path. does anyone know any other program i can use? [08:10] ynk: I used gedit for editing the code and gcj for compiling [08:11] gcj..? interesting. [08:11] Gadu, can u try to connect to my computer via remote desktop plz? [08:11] I have a problem with emerald, can I paste a link to a screenshot (.png) giving a description of the problem? [08:11] ynk: works like gcc but for java [08:11] gadu, it comes with the distro, right? [08:11] I've searched nearly everywhere, and no one seems to be having the same problem. [08:11] ynk: sudo aptitude install gcj [08:12] gadu, ah. ok.. any major differences between that compiler and the ones by Sun? [08:12] No ideas?.... [08:13] ynk: mostly just that gcj is terminal based [08:13] !imagebin | H_M-Ubuntu [08:13] H_M-Ubuntu: Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add and link it from the channel. [08:13] gadu, good enough for me. thanks. [08:14] H_M-Ubuntu: but you should be aware that emerald is no longer supported or maintained by the compiz project and they strongly recommend you don't use it [08:14] Gadu: any ideas? [08:14] I already have my own link, it's on a website I trust and love dearly (An opensource game development community' website) === kbp_ is now known as kbp [08:14] I'll post the link then? [08:14] Can any1 confirm that Pidgin 2.5.5 cannot connect to MSN on ubuntu? It has been more than 1 day [08:14] H_M-Ubuntu: sure, but I doubt anyone will help you [08:14] http://pics.nexuizninjaz.com/images/y5ictabhlfdj5ku91yh.png [08:14] Can someone test my remote access plz [08:14] oliver_: sure [08:15] kbp: one sec [08:15] bugfux: almost there [08:15] Well how do I use Compiz themes (Which I prefer greatly to GTK2.0) on Ubuntu 8.10 then? [08:15] oh okay didnt know it took so long [08:15] I made my own, that I rather love. [08:16] ziroday: how did u go? [08:16] kbp: install the msn-pecan package and switch your provider to WLM [08:16] Hi. This Ubuntu 8.04 Server is locking me out. Can't log in at all. I think this happend after i copied from a partition to the / partition. http://www.mrjohnsen.net/problem.jpg [08:16] H_M-Ubuntu: you mean emerald themes? [08:17] Yeah === AnRkey_ is now known as AnRkey [08:17] ziroday: thanks alot i will do it [08:17] H_M-Ubuntu: well you can't, if there is an emerald bug its extremely unlikely to get fixed as nobody maintains or supports that software anymore [08:17] H_M-Ubuntu: you can try recreate your window theme in metacity [08:17] :( [08:17] Well it isn't incredibly noticeable. [08:18] I'll get over it [08:18] H_M-Ubuntu: sure, thats your choice [08:18] Right now I'm having an interesting issue with sound. I'm running 8.10, and if I leave either Exaile or VLC open and on pause (or at a disk menu) for too long, my sound dies. Any idea how I can fix it without rebooting? How to stop it from happening? [08:18] can anyone please tell me how to restart nm-applet in intrepid, i've been goolging for ages and cannot find anything, thanks [08:18] Well no.... I'll get over it by fixing it myself... I am a programmer, so why not? [08:18] :X [08:18] H_M-Ubuntu: then even better [08:19] gadu: how come win xp access dosen't work wtih ubuntu? [08:19] psypher246: killasll nm-applet && nm-applet [08:19] gadu: the protocol is different [08:19] psypher246: err s/killasll/killall [08:19] gadu: think of it as 2 people that speak a different language trying to communicate [08:20] gadu: ah yeah i see, uses completely different algorithms to communicate [08:20] Gadu: Question...... why are you talking to yourself [08:20] lol [08:20] H_AM-Ubuntu: aha, ty [08:20] XD [08:20] H_M-Ubuntu, copy and paste maybe? [08:20] :D [08:20] ziroday: nope still get network manager is not connected and this on the console: ** (nm-applet:17742): WARNING **: nm_client_get_devices: error getting devices: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files [08:21] psypher246: tried restarting? [08:21] :) [08:21] why? [08:21] i shouldn't have to and i want to klnow how [08:21] so annoying, it keeps changing every new ubuntu [08:21] psypher246: sure, try do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [08:21] done it already [08:21] psypher246: and its to find out if that error is even related to network manager running or not [08:22] shouldn't i be doing it with dbus>? [08:22] psypher246: are you an application? [08:22] all i did was restart hal according to a howto to get multitouch working and since then network manager is dead [08:23] psypher246: right, and its extrememly hard to get network manager working again. The simplest way is to restart [08:23] bugfux: I have been unable to recreate your problem. `sudo aptitude install apache2` worked multiple times for me using hardy [08:23] hmm [08:23] psypher246: what does nm-tool output? [08:23] install apache2-prefork-dev libapr1-dev [08:23] is the command im running [08:23] alright, I'll try those [08:24] ziroday: it's really dumb, such an important thing should be easily restarted [08:25] bugfux: I see, it failed [08:25] okay cool [08:25] now what? :) [08:26] oh wait an update fixed it [08:26] XD [08:26] moin [08:27] sorry, should have tried that before [08:27] appreciate all the help [08:27] your a saint [08:27] anytime =o [08:28] ziroday: NetworkManager appears not to be running (could not get its state). [08:28] ziroday: nm=tool === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [08:30] i reinstalled network manager, now my wired internet doesn't work (wireless does) because supposedly it's not configured. can someone help? [08:30] so anyone know why my new PCs graphics work immediately after installing them and starting gdm but not after a reboot (also tried saving xorg.conf with nvidia-settings) === will is now known as creddy [08:31] did you actually save xorg.conf with nvidia-settings [08:32] I need to find the source of the original image-set out of which some icons are used in my project. I clearly identified my projects "save" button to look similar to /usr/share/qt4/doc/src/images/linguist-filesave.png. This seems to originate the same set. Where do I find this set? Just have a look at: saulus.dyndns.org/~david/linguist-filesave.png and saulus.dyndns.org/~david/save.png. The icons in my project are local copies without a note where [08:32] you have to gksudo nvidia-settings [08:32] DigitalKiwi: yes, 2 times (one using 60 refresh and the other using auto) [08:32] DigitalKiwi: yep, that's how I lauched it as well [08:32] k [08:32] hmm [08:33] DigitalKiwi: both the xorg.conf generated by the driver install and nvidia-settings fail [08:33] Did y'all notice YouTube is upside down?... Just pointing it out :X [08:33] DigitalKiwi: yet my graphics work perfectly when I start gdm manually after (re-)installing the nvidia driver [08:33] HI all, how can I get connect a different CHAT server from Ubuntu server ? [08:34] looking for a linux distro that is basic. no programs added aside from gnu/linux. preferably not debian [08:34] Jove: What client? [08:34] jove /server [08:34] is there a difference between the server kernel and the desktop kernel? [08:34] ljvs, Arch Linux [08:34] and i already know about arch [08:34] Hmmm well Vector Linux? [08:35] No wait Vector has KDE [08:35] gogeta, I meant to join to different server [08:35] ok will check it out. thanks....but kde doesn't have to be debian [08:35] o right....nevermind [08:35] i forgot my question [08:35] i want to install ubuntu without kde or gnome or anything else, just the basic linux install [08:35] and manually install what i want [08:35] tudor: that's my question [08:35] namely, awesome as the wm [08:35] tudor: investigate arch linux [08:35] jove do you mean chat [08:35] i tried arch but it's very unstable [08:35] h_m_Ubuntu, what do U meant client ? [08:35] Arch Linux has no window manager (No KDE, no Gnome, no apps, no nothing) [08:35] hmph [08:35] It's a clean slate. [08:35] been using it for 4 months now [08:35] ubuntu server then [08:36] as a server and a desktop [08:36] DigitalKiwi: anything else than arch linux? [08:36] i reinstalled network manager, now my wired internet doesn't work (wireless does) because supposedly it's not configured. can someone help? [08:36] im installing ubuntu server now in VirtualBox to test it out [08:36] arch is the best :< [08:36] but im wondering if ubuntu server's kernel is configured more for server purposes rather than desktop [08:36] ljvs: maybe slack [08:36] and if there will be any performance hit for desktop use [08:36] jove: What IRC client are you using? (E.G. XChat, Konversation, KVIRC) [08:37] gogeta, for example, I want to join a different server "cluster.org" [08:37] and does ubuntu server use the same package repositories as desktop edition? [08:37] jove: IRSSI even. But the general command for switch networks is /server [08:37] h_m-ubuntu, XCHAT [08:37] Are there any XMPP chat clients for Ubuntu that support voice chat? (I'm looking for the best alternative to GoogleTalk, for Linux) [08:37] tudor: as far as I know, they have the same repos they just have different default packages and a different installer [08:37] Gadu: excellent [08:37] then server is what I want [08:38] I just tried Prism with GoogleTalk but the font size was pretty awkward. [08:38] ljvs: I just remembered something, Ubuntu Server has no GUI and no extra applications. You can use the terminal to install all the things you want. [08:38] Gadu: you can also opt for the alternate installer available [08:38] slack still seems to complicated. i need a usable minimal desktop that will let me learn linux [08:38] Ubuntu Desktop has all the bloat [08:38] ubuntu server sounds great. [08:38] Hey everyone How do i get irssi to use proxy? I read the documentation but it doesn't really help.. my proxy server is located on my other computer [08:38] anything that is not debian? [08:38] yeah i just installed it [08:38] in VirtualBox will configure everything and see how it is [08:38] I cant install git via apt-get [08:38] ? [08:38] but stay away from Arch if you want simplicity [08:39] h_m-ubuntu, from this Ubuntu here, how do I connect to other server (IRC) [08:39] half the packages you want aren't supported directly in arch you have to use AUR [08:39] which is a bitch [08:39] tudor: wut [08:39] and the community is quite small [08:39] yaourt [08:39] yeah yaourt is a bitch too [08:39] the community isn't really that small [08:39] jove: Type in /server === Pooky_ is now known as Pooky [08:39] In XChat chat window [08:39] and it is incredibly helpful [08:39] the PKGBUILD files always contain the wrong versions, and you have to edit it, etc.. [08:40] it's annoying [08:40] Anyone know if Google's Picasa is native to Linux or does it have some sort of WINE encapsulation? [08:40] I see problems get fixed there a lot faster than here, no offense [08:40] Shoopuf: native [08:40] tudor: wut [08:40] tudor: thanks... I am trying to switch to Ubuntu and really need my Picasa :P [08:40] you still get more up to date packages than ubuntu === mafsi is now known as mafsi`away [08:40] that isn;'t necessarily a good thing [08:40] stability is important [08:41] you can't have both! [08:41] and if you read the news and know what you shouldn't upgrade you can be stable [08:41] I'm saying more packages seem to be included in apt-get than in arch's pacman [08:41] usage: uptime [-V] [08:41] -V display version [08:41] 02:41:35 up 142 days, 3:54, 8 users, load average: 1.30, 1.61, 1.66 [08:41] That's my current beef with Ubuntu so far, I gotta manually upgrade stuff (like from Pidgin 2.5.2 to Pidgin 2.5.5) ... I figured it was supposed to do that with sudo apt-get update... [08:42] i think it would be a few months longer but I upgraded the kernel a while back [08:43] Anyone know if there's a screenlet or Gnome Panel plugin to show motherboard/GPU temperature? I saw the GPU temperature in the "NVidia X Server Settings" but didn't see a way of showing it on the desktop. [08:43] conky? [08:43] might do it [08:43] DigitalKiwi: ok i'll check it out, thanks [08:43] s/might/probably will/ [08:44] Shoopuf: Conky [08:44] MAYBE [08:44] NO! [08:44] Shoopuf: It does it.

Any suggests?? I have Googled the crap out of netatalk and can not find one up to date.' [08:45] jove: Type /join #(Channel name here) [08:45] Shoopuf: it's in the repositories [08:45] I broke my apache [08:45] I no long get "It works!" [08:45] h_m-ubuntu, is the syntax like this: /server /join #channel ? [08:46] i reinstalled network manager, now my wired internet doesn't work (wireless does) because supposedly it's not configured. can someone help? === ROSHA is now known as RoozbehOnline [08:47] jove: No, just type the server name in, then once connect type the join command [08:47] jove: To disconnect from a server, type /quit [08:47] hi [08:48] H_M-Ubuntu: hmm... if you're not connected to any other server, wouldn't that also exit the program?

[08:49] halow [08:49] syockit, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't, it would just disconnect. [08:50] anyone able to help (message above, yes i'm spamming, yes i'm sorry, no i won't do it again) [08:50] use wicd [08:50] is my recommendation [08:50] which are the packages that contain /usr/share/icons stuff? I need them ALL [08:50] {g}: i think vi has the option to show linebreaks [08:51] anybody? [08:51] hey there !

[08:52] JustKemp: new printer, find the printer and set it up. [08:53] JustKemp: should Autodetect [08:53] I messed up and ran nautlius under XFCE and now the desktop wont show up correctly, is there a way to fix this? [08:53] or is this a Xubuntu question only [08:53] yeah. it cant find no drivers [08:53] i downloaded them. found the one that i supposedly need, and it didnt work [08:54] gotta go anyway. neva mind [08:54] gah. and i'd just found the solution on that too. [08:55] i reinstalled network manager, now my wired internet doesn't work (wireless does) because supposedly it's not configured. can someone help? [08:55] Is it possible to reset the xubuntu-desktop , or uninstall/reinstall ? [08:55] h_m-ubuntu, are U still there ? [08:56] halow [08:57] jove: Join is very simple, type /join #channel and replace channel with the channel you want to join. (Example, #ubuntu) [08:57] hi.. im running windows using virtualbox in ububntu in fullscreen mode...but while logging sending ctrl-alt-del doesn't do anything to it... [08:58] any idea whats the issue... [08:58] akm1: What is your host key? (Default is Right Control button) [08:58] h_m-Ubuntu, once i access to the server, it asked for the port number . [08:59] jove: Oh that's a different story, type /server :6667 [08:59] TheSheep I notice now that if you use 'info' on the terminal - it seems to go straight into emacs ? [09:00] jove: 6667 is the default port on IRC servers, anything from 6666 to 7000 should work. [09:00] H_M-Ubuntu, I get fullscreen with no panels...how to get it back the panel [09:00] xfce4 panel [09:00] akm1: You're on your Windows guest I assume? [09:01] H_M-Ubuntu, im running virtual machine from ubuntu... [09:01] h_m-ubuntu, thx...let me try....one more question: from this ubuntu, when i access to the other server, then it disconnect this #ubuntu, I could not get back to this #ubuntu, how should I prevent it ? [09:01] akm1: Yes, Ubuntu is your host (The thing running virtual box), and Windows is your guest (The thing running INSIDE virtual box). [09:02] H_M-Ubuntu, yeah.. [09:02] jove: Type /newserver to open a new server window [09:02] i reinstalled network manager, now my wired internet doesn't work (wireless does) because supposedly it's not configured. can someone help? [09:02] akm1: Hit right ctrl + F, that should close fullscreen.. err exit fullscreen, rather. [09:03] akm1: Assuming you didn't change any of the default binds, that will work [09:03] akm1: Also, to fix your Ctrl + Alt + Delete problem, try using the LEFT Control button, and right Alt + Del. [09:03] H_M-Ubuntu, thanks a lot...its working [09:04] somehow i don't think anyone knows an answer to my problem. [09:04] akm1: No problem :) Further, have you installed guest additions on Windows?

Any suggestions? Also the printer I have at home, how do I install th === mafsi is now known as mafsi`away [09:07] akm1: I recommend it, it is very useful. Care to install it now? All it basically does is add integration between the host OS and the guest OS. Such as mouse integration (The mouse and keyboard automatically are selected), Seamless mode (Ubuntu GNOME and Windows DWM are paralelled together), and other features. [09:07] i reinstalled network manager, now my wired internet doesn't work. If i run ifdown i get interface eth0 not configured. can someone help? [09:08] wazzup [09:09] first of all is there a way to turn off all the notifications in this Xchat client? [09:10] H_M-Ubuntu, how to install it ? [09:10] akm1: One sec i'll write out step by step instructions [09:10] H_M-Ubuntu, ty [09:12] akm1: In the window holding the VM, click Devices > Install Guest Additions, It will mount a CD in Windows. If you don't have autorun on, the dialog won't pop up by default, so go to Start > (My) Computer > (Whatever CD drive) and open up the 32bit installer. [09:13] akm1: Then go through the on screen instructions, and reboot when done. They should be installed and you will see the results immediately.

[09:16] h_m-ubuntu, [09:16] no i was asking system 32 :) [09:16] hmm idk [09:16] SYST3M32, Did you try the Ubuntu Forums? Maybe someone already has a post about the same laptop, or a similar one.

What I usually do is Google my question literally , word for word and append it with Ubuntu Forums - it nearly always finds something [09:19] dayo: Do you mean create a new tab? Or do you mean switch to another tab? [09:19] UKGent: try other searchengines too === HarassmentPanda_ is now known as HarassmentPanda [09:19] H_M-Ubuntu: am i being annoying or being ignored? I'm not figuring that anyone knows the answer to my question i'm just suprised nobody's told me to shut up yet. [09:19] shutup! [09:19] j/k [09:19] kravlin: wassup? [09:20] H_M-Ubuntu: switch to an existing one, via keyboard shortcut [09:20] Action - whatever but I don't have any ideological objections to things that work - the fact is Ubuntu has good links on Google - like them or not.... [09:20] dayo: Hmmm.... I'm sorry but i'm unaware of that ability. Try checking in the options of terminal for anything like that. [09:20] ActionParsnip: accidentally uninstalled Network-Manager, then a friend re-setup my wireless and redownloaded it through repositories, now wired network doesn't work at all. atm it's not even appearing in ifconfig [09:20] kravlin, Honestly I didn't see your question mate. :D I'm sorry, i'll scroll up now.

[09:22] dayo: I think you can change the binds in options, too. [09:22] Action - Yes - point taken - I use a whole bunch of Search engines - and sometimes meta-search such as Cluster etc etc - I take your point of course !

[09:27] ActionParsnip: been there done that ;) [09:27] SYST3M32: then you have weakened your system security, well done [09:27] ActionParsnip: it works because it's root who's running su [09:27] ActionParsnip: the computer's a Lenovo thinkpad x61 and the device is apperently a gigabit card from Intel. [09:28] SYST3M32: by default (and for many MANY good reasons) the account is disabled [09:28] SYST3M32: sudo su will not work on a normal install and sudo -i is advised [09:28] yeah its like a double positive :) [09:28] sudo su sudo [09:28] :) [09:28] yes i have [09:28] but i can always disable it [09:28] ActionParsnip: it does work, but it's pointless [09:29] and i have a 36 character alphanumeric passwd for root [09:29] so i think it will be good [09:29] kravlin: does lshw -C network say the device has a module associated with it [09:29] what's the terminal keyboard shortcut for autocomplete? [09:29] call me nuts [09:29] SYST3M32: you are missing the point [09:29] ok. this argument is getting rediculous. it's obvious that system's just pushing buttons. [09:29] SYST3M32: but a 0 length password is impossible to crack [09:29] but its gonna be a ich on your head to bruteforce that [09:29] i don't think [09:29] anyone has the balls [09:30] to crack them open [09:30] I was given to understand that it is best not to be root, except as needed - leaves you open to compromise does't it ? but the great thing about Linux is that we are free to live dangerously , if we want , I suppose !

[09:31] plz be a little more creative [09:32] SYST3M32: as all unix systems have the account it is the first point of attack, by enabling it you have weakened your system [09:32] yea i'm really not worried about it [09:32] SYST3M32: there is nothing a user in the admin group cant do that root can't do [09:32] i have more pressing concerns, like my damn wifi not working [09:32] SYST3M32: you will when someone starts copying your cached passwords over from your system [09:33] yea this is a experimental OS [09:33] test [09:33] nothing on here is worth anything [09:33] SYST3M32: anyway, the default (and intelligent) option is root to be disabled, so please do not advise users to sudo su [09:33] and all ports are closed [09:33] sweet...

[09:39] define all the updates [09:39] hullo, can anyone help with xinerama? :) [09:39] its still being updated afaik [09:40] ActionParsnip: If i pasted most of that then i'd probably get kicked for flooding. [09:40] kravlin: thats why pastebin exists [09:40] Interesting [09:40] cabrilo: unfortunately not that i personally know of. any reason that having to update would be bad? [09:40] jove: I have to go, ask someone else for help if you still need it, Ok? [09:40] h_m-ubuntu, in this #ubuntu , i see your name rolling up and other people as well, on other chanel , I dont' see users [09:41] I was wondering if having a later version of G++ can affect the performance of wine? (using 1.01 for wine) [09:41] ja660k: there are some great subnet calculators on google [09:41] kravlin: the target machine has bad internet connection (GPRS - slow and expensive) [09:41] jimu_Neutral: i know but its for school and the numbers dont make sense and i dont know what to do. [09:41] ActionParsnip: i just want to figure this out. i don't understand it and it's driving me nuts. [09:42] kravlin: the device is marked as *-network DISABLED i'm seeing how to get it up and running [09:42] kravlin: try: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [09:43] hey, I have an A-Link 3GU Turbo 3G-modem, I'd like to get it to work with 9.04. any help? when I connect it it starts flooding "Starting file manager" to the taskbar [09:43] I have a HUAWEI E169 modem which works [09:43] joneskoo: when you connect it to what? [09:44] ethernet port in your pc? [09:44] to my macbook running 9.04 beta [09:44] ActionParsnip: it reconfigured and i got nothing new in ifconfig [09:44] no it's an USB 3G modem [09:44] 3G or UMTS [09:44] joneskoo: ah I see [09:44] dunno then [09:44] kravlin: sudo apt-get install linux-firmware [09:44] on debian I need to modprobe usbserial with vendor and product options and _eject_ the appearing CD drive [09:45] does anybody know how to prevent screen reset(flash) when I switch user by pressing ctrl+f8 or f7? [09:45] after CD eject it switches USB ID [09:45] where should I go to talk about this to get this working in 9.04 release? :) [09:45] ActionParsnip: no internet: can't sudo. [09:45] ActionParsnip: or apt-get for that matter [09:46] modprobe usbserial: Module usbserial not found. I don't know if the kernel has renamed usbserial module or what, but if I could set the option for it it might work [09:46] joneskoo: /loin #ubuntu+1 [09:46] errr /join [09:47] Hello there. :] [09:47] ActionParsnip: actually. when i run apt-get it tells me the directory's locked [09:47] kravlin: can you pastebin the output of lsmod [09:47] !fixapt [09:47] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [09:47] ActionParsnip: sure. mind if i try a reboot first? [09:48] kravlin: sure, can't hurt [09:48] Question, I just got my new 1TB Drive. When I format it to EXT2 it only shows that 870GB is free. When 910-940GB is it's true space when formatted. [09:48] Primedeath: you sure you didnt format ext3? [09:48] I have it connected to my router, and it shows 870GB free out of 916GB.. Even though I have put nothing on it. [09:48] I am sure. [09:48] The same loss of space is on EXT3 as well, I did it with my 80GB. [09:48] Primedeath: because 10% is kept for root by default [09:48] or something [09:49] Hm. [09:49] for lost+found and other maintenance [09:49] Any way to remove that? [09:49] when you format I think mkext2fs has an option to tune it [09:49] I just want to be able to have NAS Storage on my Tomato router. [09:49] but you risk losing data [09:49] Primedeath: nope, you could use a different fs [09:49] Hmm.. [09:49] Tomato only supports EXT2/3 and FAT.. =[ [09:49] dont use fat, its not robust [09:50] I know [09:50] FAT is never an option for me. :} [09:50] its ok on 1Gb memory sticks [09:50] hello, i'm experiencing a problem with my ubuntu 8.10.. i was changing refresh rate and now when i log in my monitor says out of range, how could i fix this problem? [09:50] So I pretty much lose almost 100GB of freespace? =[ Damn. [09:50] i tryed with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xortg [09:50] well, you'll lose 10% of any disk [09:50] How big is the chance of losing data if I were to just reduce the size that it saves. [09:51] but that configuration does not give me to input refresh rate [09:51] Primedeath: I feel your pain. my next goal is to set up a 2TB server in the case of a PS2 [09:51] I know, but 870GB free out of a 1TB Drive, bleh. [09:51] Primedeath: you know its not really a 1TB drive right ? [09:51] If only Tomato supported NTFS. =[ [09:51] I know. [09:52] Primedeath: if your other device was more forgiving you could use ntfs or JFS [09:52] JFS, hmm [09:52] or some other FS [09:52] its only 931GB to begin with, and that there is always an overhead with filesystems [09:52] can someone help me with my problem? [09:53] HI its me again .......... so hope someone cam help me [09:53] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/141931/ [09:53] kravlin: could try: sudo rmmod e1000e; sudo modprobe e1000e [09:53] Oh well, I'll stick with EXT2.. I feel safer with it... Or should I go EXT3? [09:53] Primedeath: always ext3 [09:53] FuTz, mer53, Ask your problem not if you can ask it. that's what this place is here for. === gearWhore[120] is now known as pg-13[prostitute [09:53] I'll do that once I reboot into Ubuntu. :] [09:54] 000000000000000000000000000000000000000 [09:54] how do i get an old nvu package to werk on 8.10 [09:54] Primedeath: you could tune the saved space for root down a bit I guess, but mmmm, I'd rather the fs had enough room to recover lost inodes etc if the worst does happen etc [09:54] Primedeath: if its that big, ext3 [09:54] Primedeath: does your router thing support ext3 ? [09:54] Yup [09:54] ok got a problem with using terminal .......... I believeit is working from the directory desktop and the file I am converting is on the desktop but terminal says file not found [09:55] then go with that, the journal should help protect against corruption [09:55] kravlin: you may need to rename /etc/network/interfaces and reboot [09:55] I am using alien [09:55] how to change machine name of ubuntu? I am using server edition [09:55] ActionParsnip: the first one removed it from the gui for network manager, the second brought it back and it looks for a network then gets disconnected. [09:55] mer53: when you open a new terminal it starts in your home directory, not the Desktop. type "cd ~/Desktop" to get onto the desktop [09:55] maybe ./ before the file [09:55] ok cheers [09:55] mer53: what are you trying to install with alien ? [09:56] graphics drivers [09:56] kravlin: you could read dmesg | less [09:56] for what card ? [09:56] ActionParsnip: and what would i rename those to? [09:56] 7500 and eventually a x1950 pro [09:56] radeons [09:56] kravlin: sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old; sudo shutdown -r now [09:56] What exactly does the saved space for root do? Does it protect my data? Just to let you know, this is purely storage and I am not using Linux. :] This is just a better place to ask than the linux channel. === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [09:57] ActionParsnip: and when i put in dmesg | less i have no idea what any of it means. [09:57] kravlin: if someone says rename a file, just give it a different name [09:57] mer53: and there arent drivers in the repositories for them ? [09:57] kravlin: dmesg | less will allow you to read yur kernel messages from the second it comes alive [09:58] i have changed refresh rate and now when i log in my monitor says out of range, how to fix it?

Does it protect my data? Just to let you know, this is purely storage and I am not using Linux. So it's not like I'll be able to check the filesystem often for errors. [10:00] i got clonezilla kinda working in the end [10:00] Forgive my ignorance please. ;] [10:00] ActionParsnip: somehow that worked.... [10:01] ActionParsnip: how? [10:01] damned caps [10:01] now its just saying that the machine it is trying to take the image from the NTS partition is corrupt [10:01] kravlin: what made it work? [10:01] ActionParsnip: well it kinda did. the computer now says it's connected. but it doesn't go anywhere [10:02] ty linexeh .... I was copying from what was already in the terminal, how do you know when to use capitals or not? [10:02] kravlin: i'm guessing the rmmod / modprobe === umar is now known as umar|away [10:02] ActionParsnip: it says it's connected after removing interfaces from the config and then rebooting. but now it doesn't ping anything. it's apperently connected but not going anywhere [10:03] Primedeath: its so that when the filesystem gets full the root user still has space to do maintenance. essentially, this is so that if the filesystem gets corrupted (maybe due to a crash) when fsck.extN runs it can find all the bits of lost files and "move" them to a lost+found directory so that the sysadmin can piece together bits of lost files for users etc. if you don't have some space there you may never be able to repair a crashed filesystem [10:03] Primedeath: certainly we leave it alone on filesystems on our multi-TB arrays [10:03] I thionk I checked the repositories.......... but not found anything I could recognise ......tbh Im a windows whore so need to learn how to do thingas differently [10:03] Indeed. [10:04] mer53: I just know that the desktop folder is called Desktop :) (try "ls" to list files in a directory) [10:04] mer53: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Intrepid_Installation_Guide#Installing_the_restricted_drivers_.22the_Ubuntu_way.22 [10:04] What's the likely hood on a crashed filesystem from an average consumer? [10:04] kravlin: can you ping names? can you ping iPs? [10:04] ActionParsnip: i couldn't and now it can't do anything again. [10:04] ActionParsnip: it discoed and now it's doing the same thing, connecting then immediately disconnecting again. [10:04] ows [10:05] how to change machine name of ubuntu? I am using server edition and I do not have X-windows installed. So I think I have to use command line to change that. [10:05] kravlin: ok now run: dmesg | tail [10:05] ActionParsnip: but it's now appearing in ifconfig. [10:05] Primedeath: I've seen it a few times, but mainly during power cuts or kernel panics. at work we see it every now and then, a few times a year probably (again due to crashes / power failures). With ext3 the journal takes some of that pain away - its possible the journal is stored in that area too btw [10:05] kravlin: is it disabled in : sudo lshw -C network [10:05] Hi.. If i copied the entire Virtual Box in the home folder can i make it work on the other terminal by just copying the stuff in the latters home folder [10:05] Hello all. I need some help with getting network printers working , ubuntu to vista im pretty sure vista is the problem here but im getting access denied and vista shars to all other computer (only windows ones however) [10:06] thanks Linexeh, I did checkout the wiki on this but it will take some time for me to get used to using the terminal [10:06] i get eth0: 10/100 speed: disabling ts0 then link is down [10:06] then link is up [10:06] ActionParsnip: 2 msg above [10:06] oof [10:06] I capitalised and it did work better, but last line is still file not found? [10:06] kravlin: i'd see what that means, websearch away. i gotta test some citrix WI real quick [10:06] hey again hippy [10:06] ActionParsnip: it is no longer disabled. [10:07] kravlin: sweet [10:07] ActionParsnip: can u help me out with my query [10:07] linxeh, hmm.. Kernel panics though? Sorry about bothering you so much about this, but as I am not on Linux and the only kernel I could see panicking is my router which is highly unlikely going to mess up the drive.. Or could the filesystem just randomly mess up? I access the drive via Samba that the router provides. [10:07] i keep getting disconnected on wired, wireless works perfectly but wired seems to throw fits :S [10:07] Again, sorry, I just like to know everything I can. :] [10:07] ActionParsnip: now it says it's connected but i can't ping or anything. [10:07] hippychick_: how so? [10:08] ActionParsnip: If i copied the entire Virtual Box in the home folder (/home/.virtualbox) can i make it work on the some other terminal by just copying the stuff in the latters home folder [10:08] hippychick_: I would help you there but im newbier than you [10:08] apperently like that.... [10:08] lol [10:08] well it connects up and works but then all of a sudden it will disconnect and i have to reboot, so far the past 2 times its been after launching firefox [10:08] Primedeath: the router is running linux, so has a kernel too. it might kernel panic for the same reasons any linux system does - hardware failures / issues (eg power, driver problems) etc [10:08] simply by just coping from one terminal to other [10:08] ActionParsnip: in fact. trying to ping something killed the gui right out. === chilli0 is now known as notchilli0 [10:09] Primedeath: the filesystem shouldnt randomly mess up - its used by millions of machines every day with no problem [10:09] c_nick: if you create a copy of the you will duplicate the VM as the virtualbox works on the instance of the .vxd === notchilli0 is now known as chilli0 [10:09] Hello all. I need some help with getting network printers working , ubuntu to vista im pretty sure vista is the problem here but im getting access denied and vista shars to all other computer (only windows ones however) [10:09] Meh, I am just about to convince myself that I should let it be.. I'd rather have ~70GB lost in freespace than to lose 400GB's or more due to a corrupt fs. [10:09] Primedeath: how is the speed of the transfers to that drive via the router? the last time I tried similar I wanted to kill myself it was so slow :) [10:10] linxeh, not too bad. I can still stream 720p, I just have to set it to 3 second buffer. [10:10] I have an eSata connection, I just only use it when I transfer something big. [10:11] Primedeath: well its not 70GB lost really, you've got a 931GB drive, of which a portion is lost to formatting anyway (in any filesystem), and then you've lost some more for this superuser portion, and some for the journal. buy another drive if you run out of space :) [10:11] I have a virtual Box on a terminal here.. its loaded with xp.. now if i copied this folder (/home/.virtualbox) and port it to some random terminal and copied it there then how to get it to work.. can u guide me [10:11] http://webpages.charter.net/decibelshelp/LinuxHelp_UDEVPrimer.html#Whatis: "UDEV is an replacement of DEVFS in user-space using sysfs and /sbin/hotplug." I cannot find /sbin/hotplug in my Ubuntu 8.04.2. Is this article obsolete? [10:11] linxeh, heh. [10:11] * linxeh is planing on getting a few 500GB 2.5" disks as they consume around 1/5 of the power of a 3.5" drive [10:11] I am getting a 500GB 2.5" for my laptop. [10:12] When I bought this laptop 2 years ago, I went for the smallest HDD so I could spend the rest of the money on CPU/Graphics upgrade. [10:12] heh [10:12] Linxeh: please tell me you dont mean SSD drives? [10:12] Jimi_Neutral: nope [10:12] HDD/RAM is easy and cheaper to upgrade yourself. [10:12] Jesus, i was gonna say you must be loaded [10:12] I want SSD. =[ [10:12] I just want some cheap storage, with backups [10:13] I have the money, I should get one. Hmm. [10:13] this is getting OT anyway :) [10:13] I could get it Thursday with Amazon Prime Shipping. [10:13] :] [10:13] I dont see the point in SSD yet [10:13] * Primedeath loves 3.99 shipping. [10:13] It's new, therefore it's better! [10:13] ActionParsnip: gonna keep bugging you if you don't mind. Not sure where to go. google provides nothing of use. [10:13] limited life, overly expensive [10:13] Why not Linxeh [10:13] oh ok [10:14] I thought you meant from a techincal standpoint [10:14] It's just like World of Warcraft... A level 40 epic item is better than a level 80 green! It's epic therefore it's always better. [10:14] kravlin: i dont know anything else really, maybe you need to compile the latest driver for the device [10:15] ActionParsnip: why would i need to do that? the card worked perfectly before i had to reinstall network manager. [10:15] If only they allowed me to use the ZNC here. :| Heh. [10:15] O.o [10:15] kravlin: then i have no idea [10:16] Can you turn off all the notifications.people leaving and entering and such? Im using Xchat. [10:17] ActionParsnip: i'm about ready for a clean install and just going from there at this point. it's kinda rediculous but i don't know how to fix it and nobody knows what's wrong. [10:17] hi! when I logout from vt automatic switch to X occurs on jaunty. How can I disable this? [10:17] * Primedeath bites linxeh. [10:17] Thanks again. :] [10:17] kravlin: nobody right now, try later in the day [10:18] !fr [10:18] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [10:18] kravlin: its not ridiculous whatsoever, the room could be full of new ubuntu users so nobody would know [10:18] ActionParsnip: true [10:18] ActionParsnip: ok. i'll try later [10:18] ActionParsnip: sleeptime now then [10:18] kravlin: peace out [10:19] ActionParsnip: thanks for all the help [10:19] np [10:19] Jimi_Neutral, /set irc_conf_mode 1 [10:19] I just found it lukinfore but ty anyway [10:19] if not xchat-gnome [10:20] Ok back to my real problem [10:20] BBIAB, reformatting drive to ext3. :] [10:21] I get an NTFS is corrupt error when trying to clone a windows machine using Clonezilla from this Ubuntu box.

[10:25] sadly yes [10:25] chilli0: ok - what type of printer is it ? [10:25] chilli0: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=147677 === atari_ is now known as atari [10:25] its a [10:26] Stylus-Photo-R350 === hippychick_ is now known as HippyChick [10:26] chilli0: ooh, not aware/heard of that model [10:26] chilli0: windows is sharing it out directly, it's not using a print server or anything like that ? [10:26] its pretty good , was. [10:27] its not no its , i just enabled printer sharing in the printer options [10:27] chilli0: ok, so basiclly the printer is the same as a network share //computername/printer_share_name [10:27] yes [10:27] chilli0: how are you trying to connect to the printer [10:27] (from the ubuntu machine) [10:27] the printer thing in system > admin [10:28] chilli0: ok so using cups, fair enoough [10:28] chilli0: does it see the printer at all ? [10:28] it does [10:28] yes [10:28] chilli0: ok - so walk me through until where the problem is [10:29] untill i print [10:29] what happens ? [10:29] and then it does nothing justs ques for a while [10:29] then if i go to settings [10:29] of that printer [10:29] chilli0: do you see it queuing on the windows print queue or the ubuntu local print spool ? [10:29] ubuntu [10:29] someone heard that ubuntu is dropping ecams because vim is better? [10:30] jelly12gen: no [10:30] *emacs [10:30] chilli0: so it doesn't appear in the windows print queue ? [10:30] Correct. [10:30] chilli0: ok when you connected using cups, it asks you to select a printer "driver" from the list, what did you select ? [10:30] is there a problem with the intrepid repos? [10:31] DieseL`maj: not that I'm aware of [10:31] i selected the same on as its called [10:31] Stylus-Photo-R350 [10:31] chilli0: so there is a native cups driver for it, excellent [10:31] yes [10:31] ah ok it seems ok now [10:31] chilli0: so lets take a step back and look at a higher level [10:31] was getting bad header files [10:31] hold up 2 secs [10:31] I hear Emacs is being dropped, is it true? [10:31] just doing one thing [10:32] Wintervenom: you've just asked that as another user [10:32] O.o I haven't even been here. [10:32] arg [10:32] Wintervenom: I'm not aware of emacs being dropped to answer your question [10:32] cant get the msttcorefonts now [10:32] bad header line :/ [10:32] chilli0: shout when you are ready [10:32] ikonia: my printer state is : Idle - unable to connect to CIFS host after ( tryed 3 times) [10:33] i use to get a NT_ACCESS_DENIED or something like that [10:33] Oh, thanks. [10:33] chilli0: that was my next question - your auth model [10:33] chilli0: is the windows PC part of a domain ? [10:33] chilli0: is the printer share granted the correct permissions for printing ? [10:34] it is yes [10:34] other windows computers can print for it [10:34] chilli0: ok - so that means your printer will require some form of authentication from the domain it's part of [10:35] chilli0: which your error message also confims [10:35] IT doesnt no , well all of the other computers didnt use it. [10:36] chilli0: are the other computers part of the domain [10:37] by domain do u mean workgroup? and yes if thats what u mean [10:37] no I don't [10:37] that's why I asked about domain [10:37] chilli0: so your PC's are part of a work group, not domain, correct. [10:37] chilli0: so each system is authenticated against local users, not a central domain point ? [10:37] yes [10:37] i think lol [10:38] its just home computers [10:38] chilli0: you think ? [10:38] so not really set up to be hardcore. [10:38] and yes [10:38] i get it now [10:38] ok - [10:38] yeh its not a network loging kinda thing. [10:38] just normal home comps [10:38] networking logging ??

Im very confused [10:52] kholerabbi: can you please expand on your issue a little, i am unfamiliar with archive mounter [10:52] mer53: Which drivers are you trying to use? [10:52] mer53 have u tried to directly dl from ati? [10:53] ikonia; i suppose my question is very easy [10:53] mer53: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [10:53] PerryArmstrong: Is it just a blank gray button or does it say someting on the button? [10:53] Shoopuf; blank grey button [10:54] mer53, the only thing i can see from you is talking about a card. you didnt specify what type of card you're talking about [10:54] Hi all... I have some trouble with ubuntu-vm-builder. I try to create a vm but I get permission denied, even when running as root. Chmodding to 777 works, but I'd rather not do this. (Now it's 755). Does ubuntu-vm-builder change to another user while executing? [10:54] i am right in thinking that if clonezilla has taken an image and there are 11 files totalling 51.85KB then it has not worked properly right? [10:54] i tried the ati ones and although I got the terminal to work with alien it still couldnt find the file??? I went through the repository and found a file with flgrx in it (appears to be ati gfx mark) and updated [10:54] morning all [10:55] but hardware manger doesnt see any drivers [10:55] mer53: follow that guide and you should strike gold [10:56] so my rig is working but with no 3d acceleration so .......which guide Action parsnip? [10:56] mer53: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [10:56] ActionParsnip: sorry. it was more an 'ah-ha!' 'eureka!' more lightly mad chuckle.. what it means to you is that I have solved my problem. And thank you. [10:56] kholerabbi: oic, sweet :D [10:56] ActionParsnip: Consider 2 VB's now if i cut-copy-pasted the stuff from (/home/.virtualbox/ pc1) to (/home/.virtualbox/ pc2) Folder then is there a chance it will work properly [10:56] Shoopuf; ny idea [10:56] c_nick: on another system? [10:56] :D [10:57] ActionParsnip: Yes [10:57] c_nick: you will most likely need to chmod and chown the entire folder to the user on the other system but i dont see why it wouldnt work, should be fine [10:58] can anyone help? [10:58] Its just like copying from one folder to another [10:58] PerryArmstrong: Sorry I have never seen that problem before [10:58] c_nick: if its on a different system the user intending to use it may not have access [10:58] Shoopuf; want me upload the image?? [10:58] hi! how to play aac? [10:58] access to wht ? [10:59] PerryArmstrong: sure [10:59] I am just cut copy pasting the stuff from /home/.VB to that pc's /home/.VB thats all... [10:59] c_nick: well it will have a different owner so that will need setting for the new system. something like: sudo chown -R $USER /path/to/.virtualbox will fix it nice [10:59] hi, im unable to boot my ubuntu install because grub is missing (dont ask), and im trying to use a live cd to co from my svn repo inside my ubuntu partition, but i get "svn: Expected FS format '2'; found format '3'", svn --version says 1.4.6 [11:00] Hi, I'm thinking of trying Ubuntu again - haven't for a few years now - however is there an automatic way I can "de-brand" it... for example the Gnome foot being a ubuntu logo kinda annoys me and disrespects the gnome project. [11:00] Shoopuf; can you tell me where to upload..dont remember the site name [11:00] stevem_: the gnome foot, is the gnome logo, the ubuntu logo is completely different [11:00] ActionParsnip, I already know that [11:01] oho k [11:01] stevem_: you could change the icon for it I guess [11:01] oCean_: got a pastbin link for me? === Gui is now known as Guest32964 [11:01] actual paste bin tells me i'm pasing spam -_- [11:01] *pasting [11:01] ActionParsnip, I'm looking for something that does it all... I don't want to go hunting for all the changes Ubuntu made in the packages for the purposes of 'marketting' [11:01] Thanks ActionParsnip [11:01] stevem_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=533247 [11:01] I will try this tomorrow.. if i encounter anything will get back to you [11:02] ActionParsnip, Thats just one example tho [11:02] stevem_: i think you are worrying too much about it [11:03] stevem_: i'm sure if the gnome team felt disrespected they would have said something to the devs [11:03] ActionParsnip, I don't like how Ubuntu brands the entire system and everything in it as Ubuntu... they never say what they fork from.. they barely even say it's GNU/Linux these days [11:03] stevem_: true [11:03] it's just *sparkle* Ubuntu [11:04] stevem_: a lot of users think Ubuntu IS linux and also dont know of other distros which is kinda sad [11:05] ActionParsnip, if Ubuntu messes up in the future it could hinder Linux uptake in general on desktops... theres too much of a 'fashion' statement about Ubuntu [11:05] ActionParsnip i think very few users would assume that ubuntu was the sole linux dizzy [11:05] And people go off fashions quickly [11:05] koshari: you'd be suprised [11:06] koshari: "gentoo... whats that" they cry [11:06] TY guys that guide does look a whole lot closer to getting 3d rendering on my ubuntu system, however ..... it looks like I am going to be editing the driver itself? is this correct? [11:06] koshari, it's true actually. new users who come in through ubuntu do assume it's the only one [11:06] * ITguru wonders why someone who uses Ubuntu may think it's the only linux distro? [11:06] I'm a hard core Debian user myself, but even Lenny is lagging (stable but lagging already!) I want Ubuntu for it's tweaks, suggested packages, and setup [11:06] elky i dont doubt that , but the majority? cmon, [11:06] Not for it's looks or logos [11:06] even windows users know that there are other versions of windows [11:06] !offtopic [11:06] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [11:07] ITguru, different editions yes, just like theres kubuntu/edubuntu/xubuntu [11:07] koshari, do expos and stuff and have a choice of two distros. 'what's that one?' 'fedora' 'is it a different ubuntu?' [11:07] Sorry ubottu ( Myrtti ) [11:07] stevem_: i use it as its easy and i want an easy life, i have other distros to do other stuff but i work with pcs so the last thing i want when i finish work is more computer issues [11:07] Shoopuf; http://imagebin.ca/view/ZKqRpT.html [11:07] fedora is so not ubuntu! lol [11:08] ActionParsnip, yeah I know what you mean thats the argument all my friends use too... while I sit there tweaking Debian or backporting a package [11:08] isn't gentoo that different ubuntu thing too? [11:08] joetheodd: hehe === BfrOv3rfl0w_ is now known as BfrOv3rfl0w [11:09] the most linux users that wouldnt even know they are using linux would likely be TTL users [11:09] Can some one know how can I get windows 6.1 for my dopod 838pro and installation procedure. I saw some preview from youtube that it will work like htc touch pro or touch diamond. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsSNzYftjZs [11:09] joetheodd, Gentoo has a completely different lineage to Ubuntu [11:09] * joetheodd wants to run Ubuntu with Hurd instead of Linux just to show off. And then go back to Linux. [11:09] stevem_, sarcasm doesn't work on the internet. :( [11:09] joetheodd, lol :P ok [11:09] Theres Debian GNU/Hurd if you want to try it [11:09] joetheodd, it does if you enclose it in the proper syntax [11:10] It'll accept Ubuntu packages (mostly) lol [11:10] Ah man, that's too easy. :P [11:10] anyway, this is totally non-support. #ubuntu-offtopic for chitchat === urkki is now known as Finnish [11:11] Anyway back to my original point... a nice unbranded (or maybe more subtily branded) ubuntu would be nice [11:11] oops [11:11] I don't want a 'Ubuntu' experience [11:12] stevem_, like how Slackware (only other distro I've used) doesn't scream slackware left and right? It's simply Linux? [11:12] in the form of logos and brown and orange and eerrrr [11:12] joetheodd, yeah [11:12] Crash Bang no good? [11:12] how do i delete things from my home folder? it says permission denied [11:12] Jimi_Neutral: Who are the files owned by? [11:12] stevem get recreator and package your own then [11:13] they are failed images from clonezilla that i am trying to get working [11:13] koshari, a recreator built for ubuntu? [11:13] PerryArmstrong: I've never seen somethin' like that before... Could it be some Firefox addon? [11:13] Jimi_Neutral, you've been using sudo I'm guessing? [11:13] yes [11:13] they'll be owned by root [11:13] Jimi_Neutral: sudo rm [11:13] use sudo to delete them too [11:13] in the gui? === mafsi`away is now known as mafsi [11:13] in a console [11:13] Jimi_Neutral, no from the terminal [11:13] movedx, :D [11:14] thats annoying lol [11:14] This channel is so helpful :). [11:14] ty :) [11:14] !away > mafsi [11:14] mafsi, please see my private message [11:14] Hmm, has emacs always had an X86 interface or is there a version of it that runs in the terminal? [11:14] Jimi_Neutral: ould run: gksudo nautilus and delete it there, why is terminal "annoying" [11:14] I'll go back to Debian anyway, still was nice speaking with you folks [11:14] I'll keep on backporting :D [11:14] movedx, X11? 80x86 is a processor. [11:15] movedx, and I'm not sure. :P [11:15] Jimi_Neutral: the terminal offers a billion times more power than the gui [11:15] joakim-: Sorry X11 yes. Hmm ok. [11:15] should i just keep running hardy or upgrade to intrepid and later to jaunty on my laptop? [11:15] user01, i'd recommend intrepid. It's got all the latest goodies. [11:15] Hello. Anyone any idea why my pulseaudio stops playback when I switch to a virtual console outside of X ? [11:15] because i justw ant to right click and delete the file....not type out the long names and that [11:16] joetheodd, do i have to do a complete reinstall? [11:16] Jimi_Neutral, under normal circumstances (a file wasn't created by root), that's what you can usually do. [11:16] if i want to delete a file called 2009-03-31-12-img from and images fodler within home, what would i type [11:16] user01, nope. one sec and I'll find the instructions on the wiki [11:17] Hi. just bought a notebook compaq CQ, installed 8.10 (32bits and 64bits)..... I got the neverending "django-drum" problem [11:17] compaq CQ40 [11:17] Jimi_Neutral, the command 'rm' is remove. It's ' rm filename ', but you need to do it as superuser. The full command is: sudo rm 2009-03-31-12-img [11:17] oh, ive solved my problem, enabled backports and upgraded svn to 1.5.1 [11:17] i thought lts meant it would be stable and i wouldnt have to worry about upgrading until 2011 [11:18] ok ty and if there is more than one its just a space and then the next file name? [11:18] user01, lts is stable until 2011. You don't -need- to upgrade, it's strictly optional. [11:18] joetheodd, so what am i missing? [11:18] ikonia: sorry dad said to get off. but im allowed back now === mafsi is now known as mafsi`away === mafsi`away is now known as mafsi [11:19] user01, basically new software added to ubuntu overall, and updates to old programs. Security stuff is always added in old versions, so you don't have to worry about that. [11:19] !away > mafsi [11:19] mafsi, please see my private message [11:19] Jimi_Neutral or an asterisk but BE CAREFULL as it will delete all the files in the dir [11:19] user01, basically nice stuff, but nothing important. [11:19] If it was MS you would not need to upgrade for the next six years - if their past development cycle is anything to go by lol [11:19] user01: stability has little to do with it, it's the length of time that updates are provided, I don't mind updating every 6 months or so on a laptop [11:19] user01: err, upgrading every 6 months or so === wers is now known as pogi [11:19] can anyone tell me how to avoid those grey buttons on http://imagebin.ca/view/ZKqRpT.html [11:19] It says cannot delete file, no such file or directory [11:20] user01, to upgrade at any time, hit alt+f2 (to open the run box) and type 'update-manager -d' [11:20] ikonia: im getting , Connection Failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED [11:20] wait, is intrepid an lts? [11:20] jtaji, but it is safe now to just do an upgrade? earlier versions of ubuntu didnt upgrade so cleanly [11:20] user01: since hardy I've experienced all flawless upgrades [11:20] Jimi_Neutral: then you have spelt it wrong, try using tab to autocomplete [11:20] brb [11:21] jtaji, that would be 1 upgrade? :) [11:21] I think the problem was switching from XFree86 to X11, but I could be 100% wrong. Either way, I think it's resolved now. [11:21] PerryArmstrong: What is is supposed to be? Flash? [11:21] beniwtv; yes [11:21] user01: no sorry, I meant many machines [11:21] how can i create and edit a file which has the same name as a folder in the same directory via console? [11:21] PerryArmstrong: Under about:plugins do you see your flash version? [11:22] i recently added a ATI VGA to my machine , i didn't do anything else , i'm having a problem with screensaver , lock screen button is not working , i tried to remove and re-install gnome-screensaver and related applications but with no luck any help!!!? === mafsi is now known as mafsi`away [11:22] user01: 8.04 to 8.10 was smooth in every case === mafsi`away is now known as mafsi [11:22] !away > mafsi [11:22] beniwtv; yes shockwave [11:22] it is spelt correctly.....do i not have to put the path in? [11:23] oCean_, he's probably actually away. Paging him over and over won't change anything. [11:23] PerryArmstrong: What version? Do other flash sites work? [11:23] lshw -C display gives "*-display:0 UNCLAIMED" .How do i solve that?? [11:23] joetheodd: is about me? [11:23] Jimi_Neutral, see what folder you're in on the left of the command line. type 'ls' to LiSt off the files in the directory. [11:24] mafsi, do you have an away message on? [11:24] joetheodd: i installed a plugin for xchat and now i have set it to silent [11:24] mafsi: thanks [11:24] mafsi, okay. I was just wondering why he sent that to you like 3 or 4 times :P [11:25] share shell ubutun at nightmarevn.com [11:25] but i still got "`!away" from oCean_ [11:25] but no private message this time [11:25] beniwtv; 9.0 r100 when i click the button it does work...but the video buffering seems to be too slow when compared with other browsers [11:25] desktop music private templates documetns images pictures public videos [11:26] the files are in home/images [11:26] PerryArmstrong: What Ubuntu version are you running? 32 bit / 64 bit? [11:26] beniwtv; i also have vlc plugin and totem plugin [11:26] beniwtv; 32 [11:26] wow it has to download 1.5 GB to upgrade [11:26] beniwtv; i faced the same problem with 64 bit [11:26] mkback [11:27] beniwtv; but right now i m on 32 [11:27] ikonia: are ya there? [11:27] PerryArmstrong: I also wonder why you've got 9, what version are you running? 8.04 / 8.10? [11:28] beniwtv; 8.04..so what is the problem with 9 [11:28] Jimi_Neutral: so from where you are now you can use: sudo rm images/2009-03-31-12-img [11:28] or use thunar ! [11:29] PerryArmstrong: 9 had it's share of problems on Linux, 10 seems to be better... Maybe you could try that and see if you have the same issues. [11:30] beniwtv; how do i get 10..can i directly upgrade it [11:31] PerryArmstrong: Uninstall 9 by removing flashplugin-nonfree, then go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/, select Linux, then .deb (Ubuntu) and install via double-click [11:31] Hi... anybody with help about sound drivers ... I have the drum sound playing and never ending... I am on 8.10 amd_x64 (same pb on i686) [11:32] This is kind of a broad question.. if I install a TV card into a box.. like the kind with the coaxial plugs on it, is there a way to set the box up to record on schedule? [11:32] it seems ok when I first install, then I do the live update (247 MB) then the drum won't stop [11:32] where is wimrc file by default located? [11:33] BuFF: probably ~/.wimrc [11:33] but you could try a "sudo apt-get install locate && sudo updatedb && locate .wimrc" [11:34] how can I check if my ide cdrom is using DMA? its reading as a scsi device not an IDE [11:34] or: sudo find / -name .wimrc [11:36] chilli0: yes, I am now [11:36] how do i find out the name of my machine on LAN? [11:36] BuFF: /etc/vim/vimrc for all users and ~/.vimrc for user specific [11:36] k [11:36] administrator__: hostname will show you your currnet machine name [11:36] I accidently stuffed up alsa when i ran sudo alsa force-reload in an attempt to get my microphone working again after the latest intrepid updates. Is there any way I can get my sound back? [11:36] JoeMama: sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/cdrom [11:37] Hello. I am trying to format an external WD passport drive to NTFS, however, gparted from within Ubuntu won't do it. I know I can use a gparted live cd. But Is there a way to do it from within Ubuntu, just out of curiosity.? [11:37] JoeMama: all new drives have IDE [11:37] beniwtv; i m downloading it...how do i install it [11:37] do u mean the user account name? right now it is administrator [11:37] PerryArmstrong: Just double-click the downloaded .deb file [11:37] PerryArmstrong: sudo dpkg -i [11:38] OPh i got it. u mean run hostname on terminal? [11:38] ml__: u need to unmount the volume to format it [11:38] beniwtv; thnk you [11:38] clearscreen, ActiocParship, novice: thanks [11:38] PerryArmstrong: if it moans about depenancys run: sudo apt-get -f install [11:38] can't i change this to something meaningful? === mafsi is now known as mafsi`away [11:38] JoeMama: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/enabling-dma-in-ubuntu-363780/ [11:38] ActionParsnip; thank you [11:39] nocive, I don't believe it is mounted.

I'm not working with broadcom stuff. [14:03] well I had a backup of the old sources.list , before run perl script [14:03] Jeruvy: I can get to Grub. Should I edit this line: (not exact) --set -root-ignore_floppies /ubuntu/install/boot/vmlinuz [14:03] scunizi: the link should be pin [14:03] but still was wrong , however [14:03] scunizi: pink [14:03] Jeruvy: should it point elsewhere? [14:03] zgmf-x20a: If by "here" you mean the machine that you want to get into from outside.. then yes.. that's how you set it up.. [14:03] aitvara: well can you _manually_ change all the "edgy" to "intrepid" [14:03] ok [14:04] ziroday: AH! yes.. I noticed that right off.. it's early here and I didn't catch that you were showing the 4/1 coloring.. :) thanks. [14:04] where is thrash folder? "whereis" reveals /usr/bin/thrash, but that aiin't no directory [14:04] scunizi: ummmm as i understand it, in order to be able to accomplish this i have to use dynDNS and stuff or something. like, how exactly would i connect to it from outside? [14:04] Jeruvy: also, when I tried to make it /boot/grub/menu.lst I get Error 15: filename not found [14:04] !trash [14:04] The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [14:04] scunizi: heh [14:05] Defience: I can't be certain since I cannot see the partitions for real. You need to determine if the boot loader can be fixed, if not I'd just format f: and boot windows, run wubi and install. [14:05] ActionParsnip> thanks [14:05] ziroday done [14:05] mercutio22: np bro [14:05] nothing yet , not working [14:05] Jeruvy: Ok, thanks [14:06] 33 lines [14:06] aitvara: pastebin your latest /etc/apt/sources.list please [14:06] zgmf-x20a: that's an entirely different question.. dyndns is one way but not totally necessary.. it does help though, if your primary IP is always changing. basically from outside your lan you'd use vnc or rdesktop to connect to your primary IP address.. === kklimond1 is now known as kklimonda [14:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/142053/ [14:07] zgmf-x20a: once, say tightvnc, is loaded you'd enter the IP of your home with the port number.. so 72.345.67.2:5900 ... from that point your router will see info coming in on that port and transfer it to your machine using port forwarding. [14:07] k silly question, I logged in my VPS using SSH, logged in root to do some stuff... now how do I log out of root? :x [14:07] aitvara: and doing sudo apt-get update says what?

[14:09] ziroday: why is that? hosting company sent me a mail that said use "su" :x [14:09] Tvoq-nick|1|: is there something we can help you with? [14:09] seutje: sudo -i is more secure then su, I don't have the exact arguement on me but I'm sure google would find it [14:09] ziroday http://paste.ubuntu.com/142057/ [14:09] zgmf-x20a: use ssh on the server and you can run all apps remotely and file access [14:09] ziroday: oh... thanks I'll look into it ^^ [14:10] aitvara: and you are certain you are connected to the internet? [14:10] well su is for change the user , asking in the same time the password , sudo is for do as superuser [14:10] yeah i'm [14:10] no iptables,no firewall at router [14:10] zgmf-x20a: what ActionParsnip says is another method so you don't have to mess with vnc or rdesktop.. it's also more secure. however doing X over ssh requires some patients in the beginning. [14:10] Anyone know of the existence of a project that will alter speech in real time for skype, recording podcasts and the like?

Just move your current sources.list somewhere, and create a new one with the contents of the link I gave you and do sudo apt-get update [14:12] aitvara: and I doubt you did it in half a minute [14:13] I did kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk [14:13] ok i'll try create a new one [14:13] aitvara: stop taking shortcuts and just do it properly [14:13] elo!

[14:31] Photoguy: what ever program it was created with you'll need to install that program and access it that way.. if it was a virtual disk created by a vm program that is.

[14:34] can somone give me an example of using lzma to compress a folder ? [14:34] Photoguy: ah. that would be a wubi install file.. sorry I know next to nothing about how wubi works. you might have to do the wubi install again fresh and afterwards just swap the file that is created for the one you need access to. [14:34] is it just me , or do limits.conf do fucko ? [14:35] scunizi: you think it's safe to do? I need some file.. [14:35] Photoguy: like I said.

But what do you mean exactly, reinstalling the boot sector? === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [14:39] thanks [14:39] matamou: you need to run the fixmbr and fixboot command [14:39] Jimi_Neutral: you might consider using "Partimage" to create the image.. also when you use the image and restore it to a machine, if that machine isn't exactly the same then you'll have driver issues with the motherboard, usb, etc.. and will have to re-register it with redmond.. [14:39] grey08: hit ctrl+alt+backspace and log back in, then run: gksudo nvidia-settings [14:39] Well I dont have XP installed in my hdd [14:40] grey08: i think its the 96 driver you want due to the age of the card [14:40] Is there an nice way to view all icons currently installed on the system? [14:40] when should i ctrl alt backspace? [14:40] matamou: you need an XP cd to reinstall the boot sector, its a windows issue though [14:40] i have downloaded from www.nvidia.com [14:40] grey08: after the 2 commands have completed [14:40] grey08: use the repo, much easier [14:40] but when i tried to installed it, it needs me to stop using x server [14:40] repo?

We will be getting 40 or so identical laptops for our business which will need cloning. So I cant use partimage, unless it now supports multicasting. [14:42] o, i iwill try sudo command first [14:42] Jimi_Neutral: I don't think it does [14:42] grey08: you need some extra bits that will be done post install with the command i gave you [14:42] alright [14:42] scunizi: Neither do I, the last thing I read says it does not. So you see I really need to get this working :s [14:43] Clonezilla I mean [14:43] Jimi_Neutral: I've never used clonezilla but others here have .. hopefully there's someone awake that will guide you.

[14:44] I mean, when I installed ubuntu I remember that i filled in "domain" which is now used for ex. as default in irssi [14:44] Ganseki: the domain is pointing to the ip, yes, so if i go to the domain i get my web server [14:44] is there a DMZ-white cursor set for Windows?

Purley because the amount of people that I have seen in here just since I have been coming here in the last 2 days asking about Nvidia Drivers. [14:54] Ubersoldat, I don't mind compiling, any tutorial? [14:54] my resolution is only 800x600 [14:54] notwist: let me see if I understand correctly. You have a server at home and bought a domain name that you want to attach to it.. it's currently pointed at your IP but you need Apache to recognize the IP? not sure how irssi comes into this unless there's info you're leaving out. [14:54] not that I know of, try on kde's site... It'll take a while thought [14:54] has anyone successfully setup REMOTE DESKTOP over the net??? if so, please help! :) [14:54] Ropechoborra: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:55] ActionParsnip, it seems it works with kubuntu-restricted-extras [14:55] Now its working :) [14:55] sunizi: Thing is I am first and foremost a gamer and we all know what Linux is like for games. I know you can use that Wine thing but I dont think I am ready to make the change just yet. Would like to know more about it first. [14:55] zgmf: what's so hard about that?

[14:58] grey08: I have a blog entry on compiling mplayer with vdpau but it also explains installing the official nVidia driver. [14:58] macman_: maybe you're refering to gzip [14:58] no only by wine . i searching for linux soft. [14:58] Ganseki: i just wnt to make my resolution better [14:58] grey08: Well with the official driver it should work [14:58] i [14:58] ActionParsnip it is win progaram [14:58] macman_: I remember reading somewhere that 7Zip offered the best compression faster. But, gzip is the defacto on every system [14:58] Apr 1 13:55:01 hqv2 CRON[30291]: pam_unix(cron:account): account root has expired (account expired) [14:58] Ganseki: i have no idea why i can not activate the driver itself at hardware driver [14:59] scunizi: Yeah I could dual boot I guess but I really cant be bothered. I would love to just use Linux believe me. Even just looking at it and chatting in here it just feels more raw, more real if you like. I suppose I could because the only games i play I know work in Linux but I bet there will be one that coems out that I really want to play but then cant! [14:59] why is my root account expired? I can still sudo -i [14:59] Where can I find the latest version of Brasero? (brasero growisofs) [14:59] grey08: I just install the official driver. Never failed me [14:59] and how can I fix that? seems to stop cron from working [14:59] alice|wl: that's for PAM [14:59] alice|wl: you'll find plenty of help on that on google [14:59] Ubersoldat: I get this errors for cron and cron doesnt execute any of the commands in cron.d [14:59] Am I allowed to post URLs here? [15:00] Ganseki: is there anyway to remove all the nvidia driver and re install aain? [15:00] like sudo chage -I 40 or sudo chage -E-1 root but there is no doku about that [15:00] hello all, I want to connect to dal net network. Can I? How? [15:00] Is there anyone awake here that knows a nice amount about Clonezilla? [15:00] Jimi_Neutral: there's a host of games available for linux that are fun.. eventually you forget about the ones that only work on windows.. besides once you make the change there are so many projects/exploration that you'll want to do with your new system that games will get pushed to the background.. [15:00] grey08: By installing the official driver that will happen [15:00] Microsoft bought Ubuntu Linux! ;p [15:01] -_- [15:01] Ganseki: nothing happen when i tried "activate" the driver [15:01] Linuturk: And that once again proves that Micros~1 is stupid, as Ubuntu is free [15:01] Where can I find the latest version of Brasero? (brasero growisofs) [15:02] ActionParsnip r u ter/ [15:02] scunizi: Ah yes I have seen there are a lot. As far as what you say about projects and exploration....I have never been a coder, I cant even program C or Visual Basic. I can do HTML and CSS but thats about it! [15:02] grey08: Go to http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2009/02/10/compile-mplayer-with-vdpau-support-on-ubuntu/ and you only have to follow the directions Let's start up to compiling mplayer [15:02] !info brasero [15:02] brasero (source: brasero): CD/DVD burning application for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.2-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 1481 kB, installed size 7708 kB [15:02] Ganseki: that's not true.. by installing the official driver from nvidia it will not remove all the nvidia stuff that ubuntu puts in.. you have to remove it using synaptic first before installing the nvidia downloaded driver otherwise you risk borking your system .. <--- grey08 [15:02] Ganseki: alright, thanks [15:03] anooptp: sup [15:03] scunizi: ok..... [15:03] Omar87: you can get it from here if you want to compile http://projects.gnome.org/brasero/#download [15:03] ActionParsnip ok [15:03] anooptp: irfanview doesnt play nice with wine [15:04] Jimi_Neutral: I don't code either.. it's getting your machine to also be a web server, setting up an FTP server, streaming music/video to other machines in the house.. learning to live at the command line using mutt for email, irssi for IRC, elinks for web browsing etc.. there's lots to do without knowing how to code.. it's a whole different world.. [15:04] scunizi: after i remove all the nvidia driver and reboot, am i able to "see" ?/ [15:04] scunizi: i msged you if thats ok [15:04] ya, so i search for alternative [15:04] anooptp: im not sure ow to tackle this, the format is proprietary garbage which makes it hard to support in linux [15:04] brb [15:04] grey08: yes.. disable the hardware driver first and restart the gui.. that will put the generic driver back in action. [15:04] ActionParsnip y, [15:05] notwist: I'm on irssi so I didn't catch that you pm'd me.. I'll look [15:05] hello. That live CD is pretty nice! I am hoping to switch over from Win XP in the near future, and that really is a nice demo. [15:05] scunizi: Well even command line scares me. I am using ubuntu with GUI [15:05] is any other one like that in linux [15:05] scunizi: in that case, it will automatically download the driver? [15:05] however: My speakers didn't like it very much. [15:05] is there much testing/driver stuff I can do from the demo? [15:06] ActionParsnip i try gqview it is not supporting psd [15:06] i have a sort of a silly problem. i've been trying to install my ati drivers for the past few days now and finally found the right drivers. while installing, the gui box extends beyond the bottom of my screen and thus i cannot click "continue" as the manual instructs. i'm stuck in 800x600 until i can install my driver.. but i can't because the box extends beyond my display. any suggestions? [15:06] anooptp: because its adobe being annoying and keeping their stuff close to their chest (like flash) [15:06] anooptp: the only real people who know about the data layout in psd is adobe and they suck [15:06] grey08: if you haven't tried the driver in System>Admin>Hardware drivers then try that first. otherwise installing the driver from nivdia follow thier instructions [15:07] ActionParsnip yes [15:07] notwist: you here? [15:07] ActionParsnip like pagemaker file too [15:07] anooptp: anything adobe make, except pdf [15:07] scunizi: i have tried that, once i reboot, i will get error msg ---can not load nvidia kernel module === _Purple_ is now known as _Pink_ [15:08] ActionParsnip: I coudn't install it. === erik__ is now known as jawud [15:08] grey08: what is the output of: dkms status [15:09] ActionParsnip gimp is supporting so i thought there may be one [15:09] ActionParsnip: nvidia, 96.43.09: added [15:09] is there a way to force a window to resize?

[15:51] ok, well i try to be polite :P [15:52] Lego_Dan: NP. What's up? [15:52] Ropechoborra: When you say /liveusbfolder yoiu mean root right? [15:52] What is the difference between ubuntu server edition and desktop? Is it just a matter of support? [15:52] LjL: no problems,ill spend the night installing ubuntu+windows+opensuse+dell media direct ;) [15:52] Tokenekie, I mean the mounted usb device [15:52] Tokenekie: exactly, what do you want to do? [15:52] sdls: well the purpose naturally [15:53] archman: well, that might mean there's some dust on it which makes the cpu heat more than it used to [15:53] INDONESIA...INDONESIA [15:53] !id | dead_ [15:53] dead_: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [15:53] sdls: and there's no graphical interface in the server as far as I know [15:53] kseman: ahhhh [15:53] Um currently I use FreeBSD, but I have a 2400HD that I haven't been able to use... (using crappy onboard intel card) to run my KDE/Compiz. And now I also can't install Openpanel, Openpanel works on Ubuntu though.. So Im just trying to find out if my Radeon will have 3d support (compiz) and im getting mixed answers everywhere I look [15:53] LjL: do i run test disk from a terminal or recovery console? [15:53] sdls: there's this button left to your a key that has arrows in it. Use it with nick [15:53] so I was considering coming over to Ubuntu [15:53] nicks [15:53] Ubersoldat: Im trying to update the bluetooth aplication on my live USB. And hopefully keep it updated for future boot-ups [15:54] LjL, I thought about it, yes... thanks! I'll check it out, if it's not to big of a problem on my hp laptop... [15:54] Lego_Dan, It should work fine on Ubuntu using the Restricted Drivers package. [15:54] shadeslayer: recovery would be best if you actually use it to re-write a partition table, but as long as you're just simulating it, you can do it anywhere [15:54] would like to be able to open a document first instead of opening the default (template) the a document, also wish that the document could be placed on the task(?) bar, so that I could click the icon, instead of having to open the OO Calc program.; Thanks [15:54] ok [15:54] Tokenekie: then just boot to the Live system and do "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" [15:54] Kesman: so if I wanted to put Ubuntu in my office place. I would likely use the desktop edition for all end users, but the servers (eg, a poweredge 1850 hosting our company webserver) would use the server edition? [15:54] ill boot to recovery [15:54] I have various Radeon cards working on Ubuntu, including my Sun servers. [15:54] Tokenekie: after updating your sources.list and all that [15:54] so there is 3d support for it :S why doesn't bsd have 3d support for it... and it should out preform my onboard intel card correct [15:54] you don't need to chroot nowhere [15:55] Lego_Dan: A real card will almost always outperform on-board. [15:55] Tokenekie, with chroot you make the folder as it was the root folder. So if you have the USB mounted to /media/usb then do sudo chroot /media/usb and then the update with apt-get [15:55] Lego_Dan, I can't guarantee that, but it certainly does in my experience. === adam7_ is now known as adam7 [15:55] sdls: exactly. The ubuntu desktop and server edition work very well together in a network [15:55] Kesman: I see. [15:55] could anyone here help me out fixing mythtranscoder i get an error: 139? [15:55] Kesman_:Thank you [15:55] Ropechoborra: if he's booting the Live why would he want to chroot to a system he's already rooted at [15:56] Lego_Dan, I know the frustration though. Moving from one *NIX to another can be a pain. [15:56] ok cool :) kinda makes me wish I tried Ubuntu before BSD... now im gunna have to learn it all over again :P [15:56] Ropechoborra: terminal gives me "... /dev/sdb is not a directory" [15:56] hello, after the recent system updates my desktop effects just stopped working and now cannot be enabled, did anyone else experience this? newest/most patched ubuntu. [15:56] Ubersoldat, Uhmm i dont know why i supoused he had mounted the usb, not booted it. Sorry [15:56] Lego_Dan, Just remember: It's not "ps -ef" it [15:56] Lego_Dan: That's why I haven't switched to BSD yet :) I'm too used to Linux [15:56] Lego_Dan, Just remember: It's not "ps -ef" it's "ps ax". [15:56] Ubersoldat: does safe-update update all the aps on the LiveUSB? I just want to update the bluetooth [15:56] ? [15:57] /aw pois [15:57] platypus_, using gfx drivers from the repos, or compiled separately ? [15:57] :FF [15:57] one sec brb [15:57] remove space [15:57] Tokenekie: I don't know how you can update only a package [15:57] i compiled mine sep GibbaTehHutt since the repos dont work for my card [15:57] Tokenekie, did you boot from the live usb ? I mean, are you in that ubuntu now? [15:57] Lego_Dan, The "ps" command on BSD style is usually "ps -ef" for detailed process listing. On Linux it's SysV style and so uses "ps ax" for detail process listing. [15:57] Ubersoldat, i think if you try to install the package it will update it.. [15:57] platypus_, every time there are kernel updates you will need to recompile it, pretty straight forward, just as you did before [15:57] Ropechoborra: Yes, I did an fdisk -l and found my usb to be /dev/sdb [15:58] GibbaTehHutt, interesting [15:58] hmmm... certainly [15:58] let me try [15:59] Ropechoborra: you're right [15:59] Tokenekie, but are you using ubuntu from the LiveUSB or an ubuntu installed in a hard drive? [15:59] GibbaTehHutt, I'll give that a shot, thanks [15:59] Ropechoborra: Ubuntu from live USB [15:59] Damn... i dont know how to say it in english :( [15:59] Tokenekie, so then forget chroot :) [15:59] ok sorry, knock at the door, so I missed that its "something" and not "this" ?? [16:00] Tokenekie, do the sudo apt-get install (bbloothot package) [16:00] Lego_Dan, The "ps" command on BSD style is usually "ps -ef" for detailed process listing. On Linux it's SysV style and so uses "ps ax" for detail process listing. [16:00] DSpair: upside down? [16:00] Ropechoborra: Ah, yes like I was telling Ubersoldat, I want to make sure I update only my bluetooth package and not everything else. I dont have that much space on my flash drive [16:01] Tokenekie, Yeap, so put only the bluetooth package in the apt-get install command [16:01] ah.. i don't know either command :P im still pretty new i use ps auxx for something but don't remember what [16:01] Ropechoborra: Do you know where I can find the name of the bluetooth package? [16:01] prince_j1mmys, Upside down? Whaddya mean? [16:02] i need ubuntuers from indonesian [16:02] Ropechoborra: Im trying to look for a search ability like "yum search" does [16:02] Tokenekie, wich program are you using ? [16:02] Tokenekie, there is one: sudo apt-cache search [16:02] um, will kubuntu install over my xp partion and still let me use my bsd partion [16:02] It may be usefull [16:02] Ropechoborra: ITs just the bluetooth package that comes with the live CD .iso [16:02] Tokenekie, or just simple aptitude search [16:03] Lego_Dan, It can, but you will have to choose to do a manual partition config during the install. [16:03] Is it possible to just see processes running in a certain chroot? === hfsdo__ is now known as hfsdo [16:03] ok, so it has a boot manager similar to bsd? [16:04] Lego_Dan, Yes, by default it uses GRUB, but it can also use LILO [16:04] Tokenekie, there is a package called "Bluetooth" (Bluetooth stack utilities) you may try that one... I'm not sure [16:04] Has anyone considered mergine Debian and Ubuntu? What does Ubuntu do that goes against Debian's philosophy? [16:04] LILO is the bsd one correct? does it matter which I use? i do know that if i re-install xp it messes the boot manager up and I can't access bsd anymore [16:04] mbeierl: Ropechoborra: Is there a way to search for the name of the bluetooth package installed on your live USB already? I did a "sudo apt-cache search bluetooth" but, yeah, it gave me alot of results [16:05] oh, sorry what is installed already [16:05] Lego_Dan, Not too much. I find that GRUB works in 99%, but sometimes hardware like high end servers work better with LILO [16:05] Tokenekie: just check the first column. If you've got an "i" it's installed [16:05] Tokenekie, what is installed already is through dpkg -l | grep name [16:05] kennethreitz, ubuntu is based on debian, so not much point really, different philosophies :) [16:05] I am starting to think my brand new acer aspire one hard drive has failed. [16:06] ah ok, well this ain't no high end server :P so im sure GRUB will be fine, thanks :) i just don't want to mess my bsd if i get kubuntu installed and get lost :P [16:06] thanks :) [16:06] Lego_Dan, I just got a new Sun server which couldn't use GRUB, but LILO worked out of the box. It turned out to be the fact that the server had UEFI instead of a standard BIOS. [16:06] Ubersoldat, first column where? [16:06] Running compiz under Ubuntu, with the nifty rotating desktop cube. Is there a way to put a different background image on each face of the cube? I've looked all through the options, and I don't see a way... [16:06] Lego_Dan, No problem. [16:06] Ropechoborra: on the output of aptitude [16:06] How can I grep a file (HTML) for IP addresses? (they may be inside other words, such as foo://192.168.1.1/bar) [16:06] wad, did you try changing background image of each desktop ? [16:07] Tokenekie, example: [16:07] dpkg -l | grep blue [16:07] ii bluetooth 4.32-0ubuntu3 Bluetooth support [16:07] Ropechoborra, no! Good idea. [16:07] wad, There is, but it's an additional program. [16:07] Ubersoldat: I dont think I see the "i"'s but mbeierl's method gave me a really good result. So I think I'll continue from there [16:07] is bind the default nameserver on ubuntu? [16:07] tokenekie: sudo apt-get install bluez or something along those lines [16:07] it has a z in it. [16:07] wad, Look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=482505 [16:07] like i have bind, apache, php5, mysql, blah blah.. and basically want the exact same setup plus openpanel [16:07] uh, sorry, it's just that I always use aptitude, not apt [16:07] When I change the image on one facet of the cube, it changes all of them. [16:07] * wad clicks DSpair's link [16:07] Lego_Dan, Yes, BIND 9 is the default in Ubuntu. [16:07] mbeierl: Ubersoldat: Live USB says i have "bluetooth" and "libbluetooth3" installed so I think ill update those [16:08] sweet so it shouldn't be too hard for me to get it up and running the exact same.. possibly use the exact same *.conf files? [16:08] Hey guys! [16:08] Lego_Dan, You'll probably be a convert the first time you fire up synaptic. The package manager on Ubuntu is AWESOME. [16:09] Lego_Dan, The same conf files will probably work as long as you adjust the paths to suit the new filesystem layout. === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [16:09] Ubuntu's telling me to put in a rewriteable cd into my CD-RW drive, but there's already one in there? Why won't it write? [16:09] convert? you mean like pull the configs from bsd and put them right into ubunto [16:09] Ok, I dont' know if any of you have done much in the way of SSL certificates and Ubuntu server, but I have a question if you have... [16:09] Lego_Dan, So, in apache.conf, you may have to change the web root path to "/var/www" or things like that. [16:10] ChrizC: maybe you need to format it first [16:10] ah.. cool. [16:10] Ubersoldat: the cd, or the drive? [16:10] i heard that the file system is significantly different [16:10] the CD... how are you going to format a drive? [16:10] Ubersoldat: I really don't know. Anyway, how do I format the CD? [16:10] Lego_Dan, You might want to look at the Linux Standards Base docs to see where files are typically found on Ubuntu. I know that the Apache configuration files on Ubuntu were weird to me when I switched. [16:11] hi [16:11] there is a find files and folders isn't there? [16:11] Lego_Dan, Ubuntu devides Apache configurations into "include" files for each module and that modules configuration. [16:11] so i should be ok :) if not google does it all :P [16:12] Lego_Dan, And IRC covers the rest! :) [16:12] Has anyone worked with Installing SSL CA's Certs before? [16:12] LOL yup, kubuntu download is at 41% so Im sure you guys will be hearing from me some point after that :P [16:12] Lego_Dan, The "find" command seems to work the same as other *NIX variants I have used in the past. KDE also has a graphical search tool. [16:12] Ubersoldat: mbeierl: It worked. I did the "dkpg -l | grep bluetooth" to find my installed packaged. Then activated the "universe" repository thru synaptic. Then "sudo apt-get install bluetooth libbluetooth3". It is apparently the most recent version. Thank you. === nicholas is now known as Guest55875 [16:13] yea i like the kde search feature but its seems a tad slow [16:13] meh [16:13] Tokenekie: you're welcome! Glad it worked! [16:13] Tokenekie: good... but you'll lose all of that once you reboot [16:13] Lego_Dan, I think switching from BSD to Ubuntu will be a lot easier than when I tried to get back up to speed on Solaris a couple of months ago. Gawd!! That was horrible. [16:13] hello [16:14] Hello aaron1 [16:14] is there a way to make pigeon not close when i click on the X [16:14] LOL, well i think my pro here is that i haven't learned half the in's and out's of bsd [16:14] Ubersoldat: I created the liveUSB using the System->Administration tools and allocated 1.2 gigs to save system settings so I'm hoping that would allow me to save updated packaged. It currently saves my desktop settings. [16:14] helooo [16:14] aaron1, You can configure pigeon to minimize to the tray on close, but you can't disable the close button complete. [16:15] s/complete/completely/ [16:15] where do i go to minimize on close? [16:15] i couldnt find it === geo_ is now known as geo05 [16:15] aaron1, Lemme look at mine and let you know in a sec. [16:15] hi [16:16] aaron1, "Tools->Preferences" [16:16] yeah? [16:16] Hey guys! Is there one Ubuntu 8.05? [16:16] where in prefs [16:16] aaron1, Click on the "Interface" tab and make sure that the box for "Show system tray icon" says "Always". [16:16] julio_, Nope [16:16] oh [16:16] eh [16:16] /stupid [16:17] !version | julio_ [16:17] julio_: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [16:17] hi, im using ubuntu 8.10; if i plug in my usb hard disk (ntfs formatted) it is mounted as read only. how can i make it mount read and write? [16:17] aaron1, Nah, I'm used to seeing a box which says minimize to system tray myself. [16:17] Ropechoborra, tks :D just checking [16:17] ok [16:17] bye [16:17] julio_: the second number in the version refers to the month it was released. the first is the year [16:18] oh kora brought up another question in BSD i mount my usb with "# mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt" is it the same in ubuntu? [16:18] Hi everyone. I'm looking for a laptop. PC, Lightweight, Non-Glossy between 500-1000 bones. Similar maybe to a Think Pad. Any suggestions? [16:18] kora-chan: Do you have the ntfs-3g package installed? that would be step 1 [16:18] Lego_Dan: mount points tend to be in /media, otherwise yes [16:18] Lego_Dan, No, it will automatically show up as an Icon on your desktop when you plug it in. [16:19] babybluesman: Try asking in ##hardware [16:19] even though its msdosfs? [16:19] Lego_Dan, To unmount, you just right-click and select "Unmount" [16:19] Picassotamus: i can mount it using the mount -t ntfs-3g command [16:19] Lego_Dan, Yup. [16:19] Ok, thanks [16:19] thats slick... they need to add that to bsd [16:19] Picassotamus: ill check if its installed mom [16:19] sorry all the talk of bsd.. but its all i know at this point :( that will soon change :P [16:20] Picassotamus: yap its there [16:20] Lego_Dan, Linux has a service called "UDEV" which monitors the kernel for new hardware events. It then passes that information on to "DBUS" which allows for automatic actions to be implemented for all sorts of hardware events. [16:20] Is it hard to install Debian? [16:21] Lego_Dan, I have a USB TV tuner, and when I plug it in, it automatically launches XawTV. Fun stuff. [16:21] hmm.. in compiz manager DBUS refuses to be enabled.. does that mean I have problems with it.. and will that cause problems in ubuntu. [16:21] Picassotamus: do i have to modify fstab or is there an alternative? [16:21] hey everybody! i have a problem with my touchpad [16:21] natsukashi_, Its not the Ubuntu graphic like install but the theory is just the same :PP [16:21] Lego_Dan, I doubt it. DBUS isn't installed on BSD by default, and that is likely why Compix cannot use it on BSD. [16:22] f [16:22] sfv [16:22] svvs [16:22] sv [16:22] sbv [16:22] aq_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:22] svb [16:22] kora-chan: If you want it to mount properly everytime, then yes changing fstab would be my advice [16:22] <___n00b___> hello all [16:22] ah.. makes sense. .but you would think that compiz would have installed it as a dependency [16:22] Ropechoborra: I'm kind of new. Can I manage with trail by error? :P [16:22] Picassotamus: k thx [16:22] Lego_Dan, One other kewl thing you can do with Compiz, DBUS, etc...: You can set up a scheduled job to automatically rotate you screen and other Compiz stuff. Not really useful, but fun noetheless. [16:22] <___n00b___> can anyone help to make AssaultCube working in my ubuntu [16:23] yea.. im running compiz on my crappy intel card.. and can't figure out how to make all the sides visible with the transparent top/bottom like they do in the youtube videos.... all i get when i disable the caps is 2 sides visible which looks horrid [16:24] i need help with my intel 855 tv-out! It wont work, i tried everything i can! [16:24] can anyone help me to reduce a little delay when i tapping in the touchpad ???? [16:24] Lego_Dan: witch intel card do you using? [16:25] um... whats the fastest way to check on bsd? also when i upgrade xorg to 7.4 it refuses to upgrade the xorg driver to 7.4 and the intel/ati drivers... [16:26] lspci |grep VGA [16:26] if that was for me.. that didn't work [16:26] Beware of the downadup virus! [16:27] Lego_Dan, Best of luck. I'm off to lunch. [16:27] it infected my brothers computer! [16:27] ok, thanks [16:27] usas101: This isn't ##windows [16:28] Lego_Dan: then i dont know :) i cant get my intel card working tv out :S [16:28] lol, i can't get my radeon card TV-out working :P [16:28] lol that was the best comment today [16:28] "Beware of the downadup virus!" [16:28] when its enabled :P but then compiz doesn't work so its like im always between a rock and a hard place [16:28] how do i share a folder over smb so that u need to login to access the folder? [16:28] whats a virus? [16:29] Lego_Dan: fglx drivers dont work? When i had radeon 9600pro worked.. [16:29] a thing that distroys your computer [16:29] hybr1der: use ssh, you'll be done faster [16:29] that is what a virus is. [16:29] hi cuca85! [16:29] hybr1der: you have your configurations in /etc/samba/samba.cfg [16:29] yea I can't get any 3d with the radeon card... or tv-out.. 2d works fine [16:29] or someone who can't type properly [16:29] okay thx [16:29] usas101: I was being sarcastic [16:29] hybr1der: /etc/samba/smb.cfg [16:30] I have version of rosetta stone that runs from the disc in the disc drive only not hd install necessary, can I run this in ubuntu [16:30] Lego_Dan: thats weird. take a look on ubuntuforums.org ..you'll find an answer. There is alot of topics of ati cards problems. [16:31] Is there a way to set a reminder alarm so my computer could remind me of an appointment? or a recommended task type application? [16:31] opps thought you knew, sorry, im talking on bsd.. im downloading kubuntu as we speak [16:31] LargePrime: you can use, I don't know... cron?!? [16:32] i cant. but i could learn [16:32] hoping for much nicer video and openpanel.. yeah!! [16:32] LargePrime: i know that KDE has one kind of a program for this..dont know how it is in gnome about that.. [16:32] LargePrime: ok, noob then... with cron you can schedule anything [16:32] I'm not all that experienced with linux yet.. I downloaded a .tar and extracted it. It told me to run ./configure and then make and then make install. I extracted the tar into my home folder. Is that okay or should I extract it somewhere else? [16:32] Lego_Dan: oh.. :) in kubuntu will work ;) [16:32] i took a 71m file and did .bz2 71msorry to be annoying .. i have a 177gig folder .. if i rar it and split the rar files and then bzip2 it or lzma it will it compress further ? [16:33] Ubersoldat: can i make appointments and notes for them? [16:33] Jimbo__: that's ok... but I wouldn't be messing with a compiler if you're a noob [16:33] thats what im hoping :) im sure the radeon 2400 HD will severly out proform the intel card.. [16:33] Jimbo__, don't forget to "sudo make install" [16:33] instead of just make install [16:33] if i have a 177gig folder .. if i rar it and split the rar files and then bzip2 it or lzma it will it compress further ? [16:33] do i have to sudo in ubuntu or is su the same still? [16:33] Jimbo__: tar should have created a new directory in your homedir. For example, if you had test-1.2.tar.gz, the folder would be named test-1.2/ -- so use 'cd' to go into that dir, and then run the ./configure command. [16:33] Lego_Dan: sudo. [16:33] ah [16:34] Lego_Dan: sudo [16:34] ls, cp, mkdir, rm -r, all the same ? [16:34] thanks [16:34] Lego_Dan: you don't HAVE to, but that's the recommended way [16:34] nihao === _Pink_ is now known as _Purple_ [16:34] Lego_Dan: yes, the same.. [16:34] cool. so its only a few commands that change? [16:34] Lego_Dan: when you work with system files you need to attached sudo. [16:34] LargePrime: what? [16:35] what [16:35] is there a way to use the dvd for the eeepc to reload windows while in linux [16:35] what do you mean? i usually just open a konsole, su, and do whatever i want.... [16:35] Ubersoldat: i think evoluition is more what i need [16:35] LargePrime: yes [16:35] how can i use ubuntu [16:35] Lego_Dan, root is disabled by default [16:35] hi, I'm having severe problems with an acer aspire 1200 laptop, for which the livecd does not seem to work. even with safe-graphics-mode it doesn't seem to find an appropriate driver (a partial ubuntu logo blinks by in about half a frame)... [16:35] Lego_Dan: sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... or something like that [16:35] in ubuntu [16:35] Lego_Dan: you can get a root shell session with 'sudo -i' [16:36] anyway, if you wan't the sytem to just nudge you about something you can use cron with xmessage... it's very simple [16:36] ah so you can just su, and say in it. you have to sudo -i [16:36] i need to make the dvd image boot from from sd card [16:36] heyong: You may want to be a bit more specific [16:36] whats a good text editor for writing up code? [16:36] yes [16:36] please [16:36] i am working on linux now [16:36] Otanacht, i guess Vi [16:36] Lego_Dan: well, ubuntu doesn't have the root account enabled by default. you'd have to enable it to use su. sudo works just as well [16:37] Otanacht, gedit/vim [16:37] henryrhodes: Vim [16:37] !rootsudo | Lego_Dan [16:37] Lego_Dan: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

[16:45] if mkfs.ext2 freezes while writing inode tables 267/1193...does that mean hd failure? [16:45] I have thought of vim [16:45] LjL/genii: Thanks! [16:45] LjL: because i removed it from my windows server [16:45] anyone pretty familiar with LVM that could take a look at a wild error on Ubuntu 7.10? [16:45] i dunno man.. i had some ram recently that seemed to run stable but my windows system blue screen periodically.. memtest failed it 100 000 in under 2mins [16:45] Blackshark: well, it might not have been seated well, or may have got damaged during the move [16:46] Blackshark: although the error you mention should be SATA-related i think (but then bad RAM might cause any sort of error) [16:46] disregard [16:46] strange though, I had a xorg working before with some arch-like linux... [16:46] I want to install Tibia player for my friend (don't even ask :) ) and on my laptop it doesn't even start. No debug info, just nothing. On Ubuntu it's the same [16:46] i agree with LjL after the catastrophy i had with my ram [16:47] LjL: okay i'll do a memtest on the ram and get back to you when i find something [16:47] Umm how to solve USB-Flash disk that 'read-only system'?? [16:47] Blackshark: i think it's a good idea. you don't need to run a very long memtest anyway, just do a quick check, 5 minutes or so [16:47] thom__: what filesystem is there on it? [16:48] Fat32 [16:48] LjL : Fat32 [16:48] thom__: did you mount it manually? [16:48] LjL : automatic by my machine [16:48] thom__: where is it mounted? (should be /media/disk or somesuch) [16:49] LjL : but it solved if I got Windos and do attrib on it [16:49] hm? [16:49] LjL: PING [16:49] ok all, well thanks for the info, I'll be back after i muck the kubuntu install :P [16:49] LjL " yeah in /media/ [16:50] hanthana|: PONG [16:50] thom__: /media/what? do "ls -ld" on it and check the permissions [16:50] LjL: is there any way to disable desktop effects by editing a text file ? i mean if we can not access GUI [16:50] LjL : for information, It usually coz the Flash-disk was from Windows with Virus influenced [16:50] hanthana|: i have no idea [16:51] Is there a reason for xorg to have to separate processes?

[16:51] no luck after restart [16:51] LjL, thank you for "opening my dumb eyes". I "sweeped" everything, and now it's all goood! thanks! :) [16:51] LjL, i can't even hear a fan now :) [16:52] How do I start a pkg automatically at boot, it requires /sudo or /su.

I want it to start at boot, also maybe some mail fetch things. [16:53] I don't suppose there is an option to do like "wget -N address", but only check the timestamp, not size? [16:53] Can anyone help a total newbie on priv? [16:53] vigo: you want to start a *graphical* app at boot? that doesn't seem like a good idea. which firewall is that anyway? [16:54] so here I am, trying smbumount and getting "Device busy" answer [16:54] LjL: Firestarter [16:54] if it's firestarter, it uses an init script; the gui app is just a frontend [16:54] Thank you [16:54] vigo: what regeya said. i can't see a valid reason to start the GUI of it on boot. [16:55] so then, what's up, how am I supposed to unmount a samba share ? [16:55] I have to ask some questions that may help me and help others. [16:56] Hi! I install 8.1 on a partition that was factory made. The other partition has windows vista. I cannot see the windows partition in ubuntu, and I cannot see the ubuntu partition in windows. How do I fix that? [16:56] does anyone remember the terminal command which gives info about a window you click on? [16:56] Is there a way to get a file only if the timestamp is newer than the local copy? "wget -N" gets the file if they are different in size. I don't want it to check size. [16:56] sachael: xwininfo [16:56] sachael: xprop, xwininfo [16:56] tuxtox: for vista, download & install ext2IFS [16:56] LjL, hbekel: thanks, these were the ones [16:57] arkanabar download that in ubuntu? using the syn. pac. man.? [16:57] ok whats a LAMP server? do I not just install each separately (apache, php, mysql, openpanel, etc) [16:57] !lamp [16:57] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [16:58] I want to install Tibia player for my friend (don't even ask :) ) and on my laptop it doesn't even start. No debug info, just nothing. On Ubuntu it's the same. What may be the problem? [16:58] ok so i dont' have to but its a way to speed up the process, basically [16:58] like a all in one package [16:59] omg, is there a way to turn the awful pink skin of ubuntuforums? it is really embarassing >:( [16:59] Lego_Dan: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server [17:00] Hello anyone there? [17:00] oh cool... [17:00] thanks [17:00] no prob [17:01] hello,everybody [17:01] why everyone uses apt instead of aptitude? [17:01] and after that just add the mail server stuff/ ftp and openpanel and done ? [17:01] Ubersoldat: probably because it works better for "everyone" [17:02] ???no one chat with me? [17:02] I will chat with you qimo [17:02] * grawity greets qimo. [17:02] whats up :P [17:02] yeah, the install process will ask you to set up a MySQL password [17:02] tuxtox: no. ext2IFS lets Windows (2K, Vista, XP, and even Me) read linux file systems. google, download, and install it in vista. [17:02] tuxtox: to see vista partition in Ubuntu, you have to mount the partition, which usually requires a password. [17:03] is there such a thing as a automotive chat room around here? [17:03] grawity: I haven't had any problem with aptitude, that's why I ask [17:03] ... now who's not talking :P === tuxlinux_ is now known as tuxlinux [17:03] Ubersoldat: I haven't had any problem with apt either.

What if I only want to check timestamps [17:05] sauce: no need if you installed from the ubuntu repos .. like from synaptic or aptitude or apt-get.. let their servers hold it for you [17:05] If I were to buy a book to help me relearn this stuff, UNIX or Debian or (some other)? [17:05] how do i check that?

I'm trying to download WoP.. [17:07] lianimator: wget handles that pretty well [17:07] i dont really get this with samba, am i supposed to be able to use ubuntus accounts, so that a windows machine wants to access ubuntu it uses ubuntus accounts to login? [17:08] so i found my driver in synaptics manager [17:09] does it stay on the server? [17:09] sauce: then you got it from the ubuntu repositories.. no need to back up the driver.. you'd have to do it with the .deb file anyway not the raw driver files that are installed. [17:09] the10nitro: thanks. man wget for me [17:09] is their a recommended PDF editor? [17:09] so when i do a reinstall all i have to do is open the synaptic manager and reinstall fwcutter? [17:09] hybr1der: Yes. [17:09] scunizi: Thank you. [17:10] LargePrime: the one I've finally gotten to work well for me is pdfedit. It's in the repos.. add and delete pages, annotate etc..

[17:12] LargePrime: if you look in the file called /etc/apt/sources.list or in synaptic you'll see the references for them.. in synaptic you'll also be able to change the servers to find a faster one for updates, program installs etc. [17:12] the10nitro: if bandwidth isn't a problem, a simple bash script should suffice.. if it is.. then I dont have a clue, sorry ;) [17:12] I tried to just add them to /etc/ldap/schema but I still can't see them with ApacheDirectory. [17:12] scunizi: thanks again [17:13] scunizi: thanks man! hopefully my reinstall will run smooth [17:13] LargePrime: takes a while to wrap your head around all the different ways of doing things in linux.. fun though === thiago__ is now known as thedoor [17:13] sauce: why are you reinstalling?

[18:35] rickest: see how we got to more learning? dev and media [18:35] well... [18:35] hehehe... i introduce my self [18:35] sl00, Try this. Open a run dialog by pressing "+". In the run dialog try typing "xrandr --auto" [18:35] my english is not so great [18:35] i dont know english it all [18:35] edward_, Practice makes perfect. === _Haze_ is now known as ibuclaw [18:35] is it advisable to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 [18:35] heheh [18:35] where r u from? [18:36] LargePrime: if you had started with that info you might already have some answers instead of this meaningless conversation explaining how to ask a worthwihle question [18:36] PerryArmstrong, Depends on what type of system. For servers, probably not. [18:36] LargePrime: liver pate and asparagus spears, btw [18:36] edward_: For general chat questions, we have #ubuntu-offtopic. This is just for support topics. Thanks. [18:36] PerryArmstrong, My advice is NO! [18:36] edward_, Indiana, USA [18:36] DSpair; not a server..... [18:36] rickest: i might not have know what my options were. but i take your point. [18:36] ahh ok [18:36] great [18:37] nvsip; not for server [18:37] PerryArmstrong, Then it's probably a good idea. 8.10 introduced a lot uf enhancements which make life much nicer. [18:37] rickest: on a diet? [18:37] DSpair: Okey? Nothing happened what I could see. [18:37] LargePrime: no, those are my favorites :-) [18:37] sl00, Hrrrmmmm . . . . Old monitor? [18:37] i have a question... [18:37] i have php, mysql [18:37] rickest: why not have them then? === JuliaNeta is now known as Julia [18:37] Is there a quick way to recover your web address ( URL ) on firefox <-----typing www.ubuntu.com [18:37] DSpair; i previously installed it and found many bugs and it couldn't get my screensaver right...so i guess they might have fixed tyhem [18:37] DSpair: No. not at all. None of my components are older than 1 year. === Julia is now known as JulioNeto [18:37] DSpair; i previously installed it and found many bugs and it couldn't get my screensaver right...so i guess they might have fixed them [18:37] PerryArmstrong, You can have a try, but there may be some problem [18:37] n a friend tell me that my kubuntu is not ok... cuz all that programs r running on tmp [18:38] Nasra: recover? is ctrl-l what you want? [18:38] /tmp/ [18:38] perhaps setting up to default/... [18:38] Jrib: thanks [18:38] nvsip; i previously installed it and found many bugs and it couldn't get my screensaver right...so i guess they might have fixed them [18:38] sl00, xrandr should automatically configure your session to the optimal settings based on what it detects about your video card and monitor [18:38] LargePrime: I think I shall. Now if I could only figure out what good it did to ask the room what I should eat tonight [18:39] PerryArmstrong, Many bugs with the 8.01 version? [18:39] DSpair: Thing is I have this same problem on ALL computers I have tried. I end up with a resolution at 720 x Something. One time I installed using Safe-mode then I atleast got 1024x768. [18:39] edward_, You mean that they are storing session information in "/tmp"? [18:39] does anyone know how i would make kdm start after rc.local ? [18:39] nvsip; you mean they are still existing [18:39] rickest: sharing is caring? [18:39] LargePrime: for dev, you might like Eclipse. to me, it's bloated but some like it, esp java dev I guess. You already use vim or emacs? [18:39] DSpair: Yes but it seems it can never detect my videocards ranging from Intel -> Nvidia. [18:39] LargePrime: as long as it makes us feel good, I suppose so [18:39] mm.... i will look for that word on the dictionary... i can speak german or spanish or portuguese... [18:39] sl00, Very strange. I have never seen that happen on Ubuntu. [18:39] wait just a second [18:40] rickest: mostly only used MS stuff before [18:40] LargePrime: for media, VLC (player) and amarok (bittorrent client) or deluge. there are many others, perhaps Google will help now that you have those names [18:40] Ich spreche sie deutche nicht. [18:40] PerryArmstron, I think there should not be so many bugs [18:40] Hablo espanol pequeno [18:40] ja ich kann das sehen... aber es ist kein problem [18:40] si? [18:40] LargePrime: another good Google search: site:reddit.com essential linux (or site:digg.com) [18:40] hey guys how do i make mp3blaster play continuously without my picking the next song please? [18:40] hablas espanhol? [18:41] nvsip; so not advisable installing?? [18:41] edward_, asi asi. [18:41] <_ruben> !english [18:41] The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only.

[18:42] Ctrl-I what is does is open another window....(kind of double panes sort of speak)....thanks [18:42] gotta bakc [18:42] back [18:42] nvsip; no i think you didnt get what i said...i used 8.04....then when 8.10 got out i installed it..and i found that it had bugs and i couldn't use it...so i reintalled 8.04 and i m planning to upgrade now to 8.10 if its good [18:43] than... i was always staring my computer... con strgn n... konsole [18:43] DSpair: Very annoying. Same thing with Fedora. My videocards are not even anything special. This current one is a VIA S3 and other ones have been Intel GMA and Nvidia Geforce. [18:43] than... sudo xinit... than sudo plasma;sudo kwin [18:43] PerryArmstrong, Oh, Now I see [18:43] now i have gnome. xface, blackbox, fluxbox, openbox... kde... [18:43] nvsip; so what do you say...upgrade... [18:43] on my system [18:43] sl00, I cannot begin to tell you without more info. Have you tried to run "X -configure" from the console? [18:44] hi, is there a standard solution to create ubuntu installers (such as NSIS for windows)? [18:44] PerryArmstrong, I think both of them are good, it depends on your administration on them [18:44] now... it works... cuz i changed the permissions of tmp [18:44] nvsip; i can't reinstall 8.04 as of now if there will be problems with 8.10 [18:44] raulherbster, Yep, it's called a debian package. [18:44] n i changed the permissions of .iceauthority [18:45] edward_, What does it say in /etc/passwd for your user? [18:45] n when i do something on var/www [18:45] how can I really speed up my system? it seems so slow on a P4 2.4 ghz and 1gb ram [18:45] ??? what? [18:45] jjjj5555: =O [18:45] jjjj5555: Works great here. [18:45] for my user [18:45] for example [18:45] PerryArmstrong, your upgrading means reinstall or upgrade from 8.04? [18:45] jjjj5555: On P4 too. [18:45] whan i wanted go to gnome [18:45] DSpair, I know.. but I mean, with user iteration... he can set installation folder, for example [18:45] nvsip; upgrading from 8.04 [18:46] edward_, The /etc/passwd file has the information which tells Linux where your home directory is located. I am wondering if it set incorrectly. [18:46] DSpair: Yes but it does not let me do anything. [18:46] PerryArmstrong, you may have a try [18:46] DSpair: Just text flashing by... [18:46] i cannot in the past... [18:46] work on my desktops [18:46] sl00, True, it outputs a config file in your home directory. You should try that config in place of your current one. [18:46] ..... n i did the updates [18:46] PerryArmstrong, but I advise that you can make a new install of 8.10 [18:46] but [18:47] is always a crash ding [18:47] nvsip; why a new install?? [18:47] edward_, I think that the language barrier is going to be too difficult. Please try the German channel #ubuntu-de [18:47] is it possible for me to set up a secure ftp server with ubuntu intrepid desktop edition? [18:48] hi.. I really would like to install enlightenments python-bindings but the repo I wanted to install from is offline: http://greenie.sk/ubuntu/http://greenie.sk/ubuntu/ ... is there another repo I can use on ubuntu? [18:48] PerryArmstrong, it is not so stable of upgrade [18:48] mm ok [18:48] how can i change the channel? [18:48] nvsip; but then i may lose my data..if i install [18:48] :$ [18:48] nathan7: did you make any tweaks? [18:48] edward_, I wish you luck! [18:48] PerryArmstrong, is your home directionary a independed part? [18:49] nvstp, No, because nobody does that. [18:49] ActionParsnip : Can you tell me again my two options for upgrading my openSSH? [18:49] nvsip; i didnt get that question..didnt understand === Mud|lerenfietsen is now known as Mud [18:49] nvstp, Only old school geeks like me ever put the home dir on a seperate partition. [18:49] PerryArmstrong, what is your partition table? [18:49] thanks [18:49] :D [18:49] what is the correct place to install a program to, if it has no installer but just a java .jar file that has to be executed [18:50] PerryArmstrong, you can give the result of "df" [18:50] please to meet u [18:50] jjjj5555, Probably /usr/local/bin [18:50] DSpair: Nothing happened really. Same resolution. Only difference is that gnome did not start at all. Just a grey background and a X mouse pointer. [18:50] sl00, Hrrmmm . . . Sucky. [18:50] I am trying to get openSSH 5.1 on my 7.10 box. How do I go about that? [18:51] DSpair: If I read the xorg.conf.new it craeted it seems to select the "openchrome" driver for my card. Seems correct since it is a VIA S3 UniChrome [18:51] sl00, Try renaming your X config file to something else and not having an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file on the system and restart X. Then bulletproof X should try to start up with sane defaults. [18:51] DSpair, I think make a seperate parttion for home to put data is a good [18:51] hello [18:51] nvsip; http://pastebin.com/m5f9efe7e [18:52] Any Synergy users here? I connect from Ubuntu 9.04 (Client) to Windows (Host) for my mouse / keyboard. When I move my mouse over the mouse hits that computer and sticks in the upper left hand corner. Keyboard works fine. Mouse clicks work fine but the mouse never moves. Any ideas? [18:52] nvstp, It probably is a good thing, but nobody every teaches that to newbs. [18:52] s/every/ever/ [18:52] can anyone help me install a Winfast TV 2100 ? I've only found tutorials and such that relate to TV 2000.. [18:52] does anyone know how i would make kdm start after rc.local ? (lower rc.locals run level or increase kdms run level ) ? [18:53] nvstp, So, they end up with a single partition for "/" (the default for Ubuntu). [18:53] DSpair: How do I find out which config it uses when I jsut type startx then? [18:53] DSpair: I have renamed the one in /etc/X11 [18:53] Mr_Molez: uhm, that would likely result in losing upstart's asynchronous capabilities - in plain english, very much increased boot time [18:53] hi. anyone here with experience with psubuntu? it hangs on booting after a line about USB bus being deregistered [18:53] I reallly like ubuntu. so i got irssi from the repo and installed. how come it has not shown up in applications? [18:53] during the install process [18:54] PerryArmstrong, even so, you can only choose to upgrade to 8.10 now [18:54] Mr_Molez: anyway, it would involve using "update-rc.d" to change the properties of the /etc/init.d/rc.local script [18:54] sl00, X will almost always only use /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:54] nvsip; why wat happened now?? [18:54] DSpair: Hmm okey. I tried 'startx' and it looks the same :( [18:54] anyone can provide a link on how i could install a Winfast TV 2100 ? [18:54] Mr_Molez: actually, i think i just said nonsense - more likely you'd have to add a dependency on rc.local into /etc/init.d/kdm [18:54] LjL: thanks.. I noticed kdm is set at 01, could i move rc.local to anything lower than 01, is there anything lower than 01? [18:55] DSpair: There is no new corg.conf in /etc/X11 either. [18:55] xorg* [18:55] PerryArmstrong, Because you only have on partition for Linux, and you don't want lost your data, so ... [18:55] Mr_Molez: i'm not very sure but i don't think upstart really cares about those numbers anymore... adding a dependency on the other hand should work, i suppose [18:55] sl00: /var/log/Xorg.0.log tells you what config file (if any) is being used [18:55] hbekel: Okey [18:55] nvsip; will things be safe?? [18:56] sl00: Tell you what. Sign on as "root" or use "sudo" to run "lspci -vv" and capture the output and put it on pastebin. [18:56] LjL: so i could just add what i have in rc.local to /etc/init.d then sleep 1 before the kdm stuff? [18:56] DSpair, Yes, I have found most pople do so, but I think this is too bad [18:56] Mr_Molez: err, that's not what i meant [18:56] LjL: but would that work ;) [18:56] Mr_Molez: i don't think so [18:57] nvstp, I understand the reasoning perfectly. What should be done then is that the Ubuntu installer should default to creating a separate partition for "/home" [18:57] Mr_Molez: just edit kdm and add a dependency on rc.local === Guest24785 is now known as iGuelph [18:57] DSpair: I do not thing I can access internet using that computer :( [18:57] dspair... im now on the channel of germany... they r nit being really freindly [18:57] LjL: ok thanks :) [18:57] Mr_Molez: out of curiosity, why do you want to do that anyway? [18:57] DSpair: Xorg.0.0log says Unable to locateopen config file using defaults. [18:57] the ubuntuforum is playing a pink prank or what ? [18:57] LjL: i need to unload some modules and reload them before X starts [18:57] DSpair: I agree! [18:58] sl00, As it should. Try copying the files to a disk or thumb drive and then upload them. [18:58] Mr_Molez: ugh, ugly [18:58] edward_, Sorry, I wish I could be more help. [18:58] LjL: hehe [18:58] Good night every one:) [18:58] gn [18:58] G'nite nvstp [18:58] is there a page on which i can see the progress of packages that are not stable? [18:58] what does ths mean? [18:58] Msttcorefonts uses the DEbian FOnt MAnager (defoma). If you wish to use the fonts provided by this package under the X Window System, you must configure it to use defoma fonts. [18:58] The easiest way to do so is to use the x-ttcidfont-conf package. For more information, install the x-ttcidfont-conf package and consult its documentation under /usr/share/doc/x-ttcidfont-conf. [18:58] For uses of msttcorefonts not related to the X Window System (e.g. printing) this is not required. [18:58] LargePrime: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:58] were could i find help to my Tv Tuner Winfast 2100 ? [18:58] Mr_Molez: you could also erm, just do that inside the kdm script [18:58] nvsip?? [18:59] LjL: isn't that what I just asked :P lol [18:59] linduxed: what do you mean "packages that are not stable"? [18:59] DSpair; so you say upgrading is not advisable?? [18:59] Mr_Molez: to me it sounded like you wanted to use sleep to "ensure" that X would wait [18:59] PerryArmstrong, No, I said exactly the opposite [18:59] PerryArmstrong, yes? [18:59] LjL: ohhh... it will not ? [19:00] hey does anyone know of any good wireless extenders that work weill with ubuntu? [19:00] LargePrime, it means if you want to use windows TTF fonts on linux .. install the x-ttcidfont-conf package. you don't have to do this if you want to be able to print with those fonts. [19:00] DSpair; okk fine then....i shall upgrade...nvsip..i am gonna upgrade [19:00] PerryArmstrong, Just open your /etc/apt/source.list file and change all of the instances of "hardy" to "intrepid"; run "aptitude update", and then run "aptitude dist-upgrade" [19:00] Mr_Molez: not if you put your module commands in rc.local, and put a sleep instruction in kdm [19:00] Mr_Molez: but if you just put your module commands in kdm before it starts X, it should work [19:00] I am looking for a way to extend my wireless connection and it appears the best way to do that is buy a card/usb wireless device w/ extended range [19:00] LjL: oh i see, well I meant put it all in the kdm script like you just said, okay I will do that, thanks alot :) [19:00] PerryArmstrong, OK. Good luck [19:00] PerryArmstrong, Sorry, typo, thats /etc/apt/sources.list [19:01] Mr_Molez: well then i don't think a "sleep" would be needed at all, but what do i know [19:01] unop: install that package to view them? but i can print them without the package? [19:01] DSpair; you mean replace all names of hardy to intrepid?? [19:01] PerryArmstrong, Yep === pete_ is now known as Guest52234 [19:01] LjL: for instance, clamav is in the version 0.94yaddayadda-ubuntu, but 0.95 without the yaddayadda-ubuntu is out. my guess was that the 0.95 package has been submitted to the devs so they can test it so that it sooner or later can be moved into the repos [19:01] LjL: I just want to make sure it has time to do its dirty business before X starts hehe [19:01] hey does anyone know of any good wireless extenders that work weill with ubuntu? [19:01] linduxed: not really [19:01] !latest | linduxed [19:01] linduxed: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [19:01] LargePrime, well, it's actually, install the package to setup those fonts for use within X (to be able to display them) .. and no, you don't need this package to use the fonts in printing. === fmagno is now known as bogat [19:02] LjL: i also assumed there was a page where the progress on that process was displayed [19:02] jeffrey_, They should all work fine with Linux. Wireless extenders are dumb devices. [19:02] What program is normaly used to make presentation in Ubuntu? (something like powerpoint) [19:02] linduxed: new version of stuff is simply *not* added to the repositories, unless it involves important bug fixes. you only other venue is Backports [19:02] I think I've found a small error in the Ubuntu 9.04 beta [19:02] unop: if i open a doc that uses them what will i see? [19:02] bogat: openoffice? [19:03] Anybody using iPhone with Amarok? [19:03] baldurpet: Jaunty discussion in #ubuntu+1 please [19:03] ah thank you [19:03] didn't know that [19:03] LargePrime, those fonts - as you'd expect. [19:03] DSpair: Hmm.. I does not seem to find the usbstick. *sigh* [19:03] hi [19:03] baldurpet: join #ubuntu+1 [19:04] unop: i dont mean to be thick, but if i can see them without the package why do i need the package? [19:04] LjL: ok, but is there som info/progress-on-packages page on backports? [19:05] LargePrime, maybe you already have defoma installed and configured?? that's why you can see them.. [19:05] linduxed: before they actually get added to the repos, you can follow the launchpad report about them. please /msg ubottu !backports for more info [19:05] hi all [19:05] * grawity greets nood. [19:05] can i emulate Conficker with wine? [19:05] ... [19:05] XD [19:06] LjL: that worked, thanks :) [19:06] DSpair: http://pastebin.com/m38658be3 [19:06] Mr_Molez: just keep in mind that the day kdm gets an update, you'll probably be asked whether you want to use the new version or your custom version of the config file [19:07] unop: i do not know that i have anything installed or that i CAN see them. I just wondered what i would see it i did not install the x-ttcdifont package [19:07] Mr_Molez: (in which case i'd recommend using the new version and re-adding the custom stuff later) [19:07] LjL: yeah it's not alot to add, i just hope I remember :), catch you later thanks [19:07] DSpair: http://pastebin.com/m11dc6b24 <-- xorg.conf.new [19:08] how can I add Jaunty repositories to Intrepid? [19:08] can I do something like sudo killall "ssh -L" to kill all ssh tunnels ? [19:08] LargePrime, not sure .. but I have a suspicion that if you installed the debian/ubuntu msttcorefonts package - everything should be configured for you. don't quote me on this tho. [19:08] Lint01: you can't, unless you want to destroy your system [19:08] !jaunty > Lint01 (Lint01, see the private message from ubottu) === abdullah is now known as axel_foley [19:09] Mean_Admin, I don't see that working .. unless you have processes actually named "ssh -L" [19:09] unop: it was the installation of that, that caused the warning above.

I'm guessing 90%+ of the people installing ubuntu will end up wanting those packages anyway [19:10] Mean_Admin, maybe something like. ps aux | awk '/ssh user@server \-L port:host:port/{print $2}' | xargs killall [19:11] clearscreen, because they're not open source. [19:11] There isnt any legislation prohibiting them from doing that, is there?

[19:11] br [19:12] clearscreen, it is not irrelevant. They're easy to install should you want it, but if I want an open source system I do not want one that automatically installs closed source software on my system [19:12] as long as open-source alternatives to closed-source applications are inferior, I dont see any reason to not ship closed-source apps by default [19:12] All hail the mighty U. it warned me i needed a package and then went and installed the needed package automagically. [19:12] hatter243: why not? [19:12] LargePrime: ? [19:12] hello [19:12] that's putting ideals before usability [19:12] clearscreen, I want to be able to modify anything that I want to.

[20:29] so all i can do here is ask for support.i can't comment on anything else?

[20:30] BlackCoffee: You can offer support too :) [20:30] dhruvasagar: yeah I thought it was set that it would kill all processes having all least all those strings but no..

[20:57] gentoo [20:57] erUSUL: Thanks for the help [20:57] hahahah [20:57] it seems to be working now. [20:57] we'll see in a minute [20:57] def not gentoo [20:57] blip-, YOu might try asking in #kubuntu [20:57] slackware [20:57] wiseman: no problem [20:57] is it possible to remote login with ssh to my friends computer when he is at his place and I am at home? [20:58] Guest23043, try FreeBSD and slackware... arch is good though too... pacman rocks [20:58] ikonia: you're a big negative nancy :-P [20:58] Guest23043: windows7 :) [20:58] fbsd [20:58] ho bisogno di aiuto non mi parte pi\ ubuntu [20:58] * wiseman has heard nothing but good things about windows7. they might have finally gotten it right. === Guest23043 is now known as boomking [20:59] abstrakt whats the problem with gentoo ?

[20:59] well i burned another copy.. and I'll try again.. [21:00] no sane sysadmin for a real business (aka, not just you in your basement) would run Gentoo on a production server [21:00] why not ? [21:00] time = money [21:00] yes and ? [21:01] i dont spend much time with it [21:01] gentoo = manually compile EVERYTHING [21:01] = time [21:01] not really [21:01] HeXiLeD, google dude, i'm not gonna go over the reasons that are well documented === dtcrshr is now known as datacrusher [21:01] and i run it for 3 years . server/ workstation [21:01] clearscreen, yeah that's not true, you can get different levels of "precompiled" gentoo [21:01] I need to check something in a guide with you before I follow it, they say that I should add "$IPT -A INPUT -p udp --dport 5353 -d 224.0.0.251 -j ACCEPT" to my firestarter config file, If I run firestarter, so that it will let pulseAudio communicating over Zeroconf/Avahi's port 5353. what does that mean ? The ip address looks wierd, why do I want it to use that port ? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio thanks [21:01] and lots os daemons online [21:01] clearscreen, depending on how much "optimizing" you want [21:01] abstrakt extreme it's what i use . [21:02] abstrakt: sure, but if you're going for that option you might as well pick a distribution that comes with apt [21:02] always been stable [21:02] well crap [21:02] clearscreen, sure... i wasn't saying anything about anything, except that gentoo does in fact give you the option to not comnpile "everything" [21:02] now I can't find where the hell it is to run it [21:02] !ot | HeXiLeD abstrakt clearscreen [21:02] HeXiLeD abstrakt clearscreen: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[21:03] LjL: you free? [21:04] Picassotamus, i *was* on topic... but haven't gotten much of a response [21:04] lol thanks , i rate iam just gna try slackware i hear its a good place to up exp [21:04] it's slack [21:05] abstrakt: actually yes :) ... its build-dep, not build-deps [21:05] Picassotamus, ahh [21:05] Picassotamus, bingo thanks that's it [21:05] Picassotamus, horray for typos in the freaking command set on that HOWTO page on the forums [21:06] abstrakt: right? [21:06] Silly question: Can I just give myself administrative privelages for doing graphical type tasks? I want to drag and drop a few folders around and it says I don't have permission to do that [21:06] dang, 350M of deps for subversion [21:06] and I'd rather not use the terminal [21:06] wiseman: sudo nautilus / [21:06] wiseman, you can log into X11 as root [21:06] yo yo yo [21:07] wiseman, yeah or better yet, sudo nautilus [21:07] google.com/linux is surprisingly a good idea [21:07] !gksu [21:07] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [21:07] Lint01: gksudo nautilus you mean surely [21:07] wiseman, and actually i'm pretty sure that there's a graphical sudo [21:07] abstrakt: you can shoot yourself into the knee too :-)) [21:07] Hi, just installed. Auto detected my vid card and suggested a restricted driver but nothing for my Gigabyte onboard sound. Where do I start to get the correct driver? [21:07] wiseman, well there you go :) [21:07] Lint01: sudo is not for gui apps [21:07] ActionParsnip: then "sudo nautilus / &" [21:08] Lint01: no, not sudo [21:08] I need help knowing if my psu is within spec http://paste.ubuntu.com/142300/ === spass_away is now known as spass [21:08] Lint01: sudo does not configure the environment for gui apps, thats why gksudo exists [21:08] cool thanks [21:08] ActionParsnip: strange it always worked for me [21:08] Lint01: it works until it screws something up [21:09] Lint01: it will work but it will break ownership and permissions [21:09] Any suggestions for finding the correct sound driver? Not sure where to start. [21:09] Lint01, it's not so much "strange" as it is you just don't have all the information [21:09] Jake1: lspci [21:09] Lint01: certain apps are perfectly safe to use with sudo, but others aren't, so it's best to never do it [21:09] !sound | Jake1 [21:09] Jake1: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [21:09] Jake1: once you know the audio chip you can websearch for drivers [21:10] Thanks everyone, I'll give it a shot. [21:10] Picassotamus, ok i got some errors on that build deps thing... all of them are related to SSL packages not being found [21:10] ubottu is very intelligent ;) [21:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:10] openssl and friends [21:10] bye [21:10] Picassotamus, do i need to update my repos or something?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:13] kitchenrange: ask away, the room will answer if it can [21:13] ive had ubuntu on my computer for a while and I tried to install windows within a partition. [21:13] i ran Ubuntu as my desktop a few years ago... it's been a while... [21:13] wasnt asking to ask [21:13] I have a brand new assembled pc, 3 empty disks (1xIDE,2xSATA), when I boot up on Ubunutu, the menu appears. Select language. Install Ubuntu. ubuntu loading logo comes and then it writes "BusyBox v1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-1ubuntu6) built-in shell (ash). Enter Help for a list of built-in commands". And then I'm in console-mode (DOS mode). And I can only write commands. What to do? [21:13] anyone know of some managment software, push updates, software install etc for a large number of workstations, something like landscape but not $150 a year and nod... [21:14] i did install windows succesfully into a partition, but my computer wont boot into the linux partition. or even give me the option [21:14] kitchenrange: please keep your question in *one* line [21:14] G8_Zer0, What version of Ubuntu? [21:14] kitchenrange: ok Windows has gone over Grub [21:15] G8_Zer0: Try setting your sata controller into "Compatibility" or "IDE" mode in your bios [21:15] Newest, 8.10 [21:15] !grub [21:15] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [21:15] ty sebsebseb [21:15] G8_Zer0: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded and also verify the cd burned was consistant? [21:15] I bought Ubuntu Phone Buddy, how can I give it enough power to charge phones? [21:15] I see it boots my sata disks on boot up. It's a PCI sata card btw [21:15] kitchenrange: why do you want to dual boot? if your computer has enough RAM, and you don't want Windows 3D programs, how about Windows inside Ubuntu instead, in a virtual machine [21:15] G8_Zer0: The usual reason for it is that it doesn't know you have disks/cd etc attached because it has no specific sata driver for your chipset, but the bios setting makes it behave like a known one [21:16] kitchenrange, for those issues have a look for the supergrubdisk [21:16] ciao [21:16] ActionParsnip, Yeah, made a check when burn ended. Tried several disks, from different computers aswell. [21:16] !list [21:16] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [21:16] G8_Zer0: you may need to compile / install the SATA controller driver in the live cd before you can use it, you may need to disable acpi. depends on the card [21:16] bye all... I m gonna sign off [21:17] ok [21:17] * thom__ thanks for all of d`help [21:17] Any tips for getting a ms word doc file to open correctly in openoffice (im running 3.01) ? [21:17] !youtube [21:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about youtube [21:17] N1ckR: correctly in Open Office? explain what you mean exactly by that [21:17] is there free linux software to conveniently dub movies? or do you have any idea where to best look for something like that?

[21:18] Iceman_B^Ltop, There might be error messages in dmesg [21:18] Hi all, I freshly installed ubuntu 8.10 last weekend, and did all the upgrades on monday. Yesterday theres were some other upgrades so i did those but now i have a blank screen. Is there a way to see what fix was installed yesterday, roll back, or is theres a known fix for this [21:18] N1ckR, try saving it with 2000/xp format [21:18] N1ckR, 2007 is tricky. [21:18] especially with docx [21:18] hey guys. is it my drivers? or is it just my system im using ATI radeon mobility x1400. but my screen recorders are soo slow [21:18] !postfix [21:18] N1ckR: try OO.o 3, it hasn't made it into the repos yet [21:18] postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu. For help, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto - See also !MailServer [21:19] Jordan_U: the card is still fucntioning, but I'm getting nothing but dropping connections. Have been wrestling with this problem for a few days now [21:19] N1ckR: ok yeah, since .doc is a closed format, every other program that isn't from Microsoft that awnts to suppourt it had to reverse enginner suppourt for it, a very clever proggramming technique, but as a result suppourt won't be perfect. Install Abiword, sometimes it deals with .doc's way better than Open Office [21:19] unko, see if you have rendering/ [21:19] Im running 3.01 from the ppa, sadly its a doc I have been given. [21:19] imachine, rendering? [21:19] unko, direct rendering that is. type 'glxinfo' in a terminal and see if you have Direct Rendering: yes [21:19] * N1ckR reluctantly fires up xp up virtualbox [21:19] direct rendering: Yes [21:19] says in my case [21:19] N1ckR: do Abiword as I said :) and you can run Microsoft Office under Wine [21:19] N1ckR, GoOO claims it has better support for some documents ( I think mostly .docx though ) [21:19] !dovecot [21:19] imachine, ok hold on [21:19] IMAP and POP are protocols for fetching email. The officially-supported server in Ubuntu is Dovecot (packages "dovecot-imapd" for IMAP, and "dovecot-pop3d" for POP) - See also !MailServer for information on the SMTP protocol [21:20] sebsebseb, I don't think it works under wine. [21:20] imachine, yea i do [21:20] imachine: it does [21:20] unko, everything should work okay. [21:20] unko, what exactly is the problem? [21:20] sebsebseb, which version? it hadn't for a while [21:20] imachine, hmm...i don't know my system is fast but when it comes to recording my screen it's horribly slow [21:20] actually, it never did. hence the question [21:20] unko, ok, dunno. [21:20] imachine, ok thnx === pete_ is now known as Guest70374 [21:21] unko, maybe it's the recording software being slow. [21:21] Iceman_B^Ltop, ifconfig will give you some statistics [21:21] imachine, maybeee [21:21] ;) [21:21] imachine: most of 2003 worked ages in older wine versions. and someone runs office 2007 in wine. as for versions, alwasy get latest wine from http://www.winehq.org and add the Ubuntu repo so always get latest wine. however use stuff such as Open Office, Abiword, Gnumeric, and KOffice, before doing Microsoft Office under Wine [21:21] N1ckR: KOffice is another one that can open your word doc [21:22] my dvd player plays the dvd but the video is scrambled [21:22] any thoughts [21:22] Dj-Toast: have you tried booting into recovery mode and selecting xfix [21:22] anyone know the cli command for listing the battery stats? I have a dell D600 which had a 4 hr battery yesterday and now refuses to charge since I hibernated. I get the flashing red light on the laptop & flashing alternated lights on the battery. [21:22] morered: i can get in terminal.. let me try that now. [21:23] N1ckR: the Microsoft Word document viewer from Microsoft, will work in Wine [21:23] morered: probably something with nvidia again [21:24] ok, so i ran the ./configure && make && make install for subversion [21:24] Evening All [21:24] and it properly installed mod_dav_svn.so into /usr/lib/apache2 [21:24] guys .. say i cat all my external directories to a .txt file .. how can i rm all the files in the txt file but not certin ones ?

[21:25] Hi All, i have a machine here at home running ubuntu 8.04 its hung and i want to use ALT+SYSREQ+REISUB to shutit down but its not responding? what can i do to shutit down without killing the power?

[21:25] okay, this isn't exactly ubunut related I guess but....I'm thinking of making the switch from windows to ubuntu, but for work I need a pdf reader that has measurement tools included(for reading blueprints) like brava! reader has...anyone know of an app similar to this? [21:25] but it does exist... and the mods-enabled are nothing more than symlinks to mods-available [21:25] morered: Ya seems like i got in now.. but is there a list of updates somewhere? [21:25] Any ideas? Tried burning 4 discs... same result [21:25] How can I just format and fix the boot sector in Ubuntu............. [21:25] and mods-available are nothing more than apache LoadModule directives all broken out into separate files [21:25] shadeslayer: use sudo [21:26] genii, does that install the mod_dav_svn module also?

[22:34] ughh, upgrading to jaunty kernel switched my device names around, always fun realizing you just made a new filesystem on the disk with your data and DD'd the old one [22:34] crdlb: uh... radeon? I think? Do you mean driver, or hardware? [22:34] I tried 2nd request again. It says like this. [22:34] 1 CDs requested on 2009-02-10. This request was not approved, so no CDs were shipped. [22:35] joakimk: driver (have you enabled the restricted driver?) [22:35] joakimk: if you're using radeon, then you can just switch to EXA [22:35] crdlb: no, I don't think I've enabled any restricted driver [22:35] crdlb: EXA? [22:35] joakimk: the old mode (XAA) cannot support textured video with a compositing manager, so you need to switch to the new one (EXA) === blackwaltz is now known as sekrit [22:36] That supposes to arrive here like about 6 weeks. I never get it from you guys. [22:36] joakimk: edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and put Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" in Section "Device" [22:36] Anybody know this? DHCP (dhclient) which script is it that gets the NEW ip address when a lease is renewed? Exit script or Enter script? [22:36] crdlb: So that's still Radeon drivers, then? [22:37] joakimk: yep, and jaunty will use EXA by default [22:37] You know what's going on with this, rickest? [22:38] I tried to install the creative video converter in WINE for my Zen.

Suggestions? === jared is now known as Guest71202 [22:44] jmacfuzzy: what's the error you get when you try to rm it? [22:44] newuser: 8.04 that's alright, having 8.04 [22:44] can i send a popup like message,to users logged in gnome (from console as root) [22:44] what is teh difference between 8.04 and 8.10? [22:44] hi to all! [22:44] it is as simple as a dist-upgrade to go from 8.04 to 8.10? [22:45] Matson: not much, except completly different versions of Xorg [22:45] let me try it, hold up [22:45] OmniDrink: I am not sure it is...but if not, you can go to CodeWeavers web site and order up CrossOver... [22:45] Ex-QuAke[DOD]-M-: well I think you should try and contact the shipit guys again. The ops here don't have anything to do with the media shipping [22:45] Veronika_sweet: hello [22:45] !upgrade | Matson [22:45] Matson: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [22:45] sebsebseb so why is ctrl-alt bkspace not working ( i did use displayconfig-gtk to get 1024x768 rez.) Could that have messed something up? [22:45] How can I upgrade my repositories? [22:45] newuser: unfortunatlly I don't know about that one, and have you installed the graphics card driver [22:45] Matson: it's also best to do a fresh install if possible but personally I've dist-upgraded the last 3 times without any problems except very small tweaks [22:45] !repo [22:45] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [22:45] ok I will come back if I never receive the email from them again. [22:45] will there be a 9.04? [22:46] and will it be LTS? [22:46] Veronika_sweet: define "upgrade repositories" what do you want to achieve ? [22:46] I only have repositories of old programmes [22:46] Matson: April 23rd 9.04 and it won't be LTS [22:46] Matson: 9.10 will be LTS [22:46] ok, so it worked this time [22:46] lstarnes: 10.04 [22:46] i used the -f to force it, that worked [22:46] Matson: yes ther wilol be a 9.04 no it is not LTS [22:46] 642389685.04 [22:46] hahahaha [22:46] sebsebseb when I run hardware drivers, I get no proprietary drivers [22:47] thanks sebsebseb lstarnes erUSUL [22:47] will the kernel simply not load that sata_mv.ko module since it's gone next time that I boot? [22:47] Veronika_sweet: which version of ubuntu are you running? [22:47] I sent it [22:47] newuser: damn that issue :(. Linux distros are great, but xorg isn't [22:47] jmacfuzzy: probably... a better approach is to blacklist it [22:47] sebsebseb, should I try to select different driver when running displayconfig-gtk? [22:48] newuser: I am not sure, just stick around, and someone else, can probably help [22:48] erUSUL: can you explain blacklisting to me? [22:48] Veronika_sweet: your repositories are geared to have the programs compatible with your version of the operating system. So long as newer versions of programs will run on your kernel, you have the latest version. === IVBela1 is now known as IVBela [22:48] hey [22:48] right now it says i810 sebsebseb [22:48] how can i break a symbolik link ?

[22:49] newuser: if there's a graphics card driver availalbe get it [22:49] Matson: you can get a beta release. [22:49] Isn't 9.04 in BETA yet? [22:49] sixhat, rm what ? the source or what ? [22:49] Matson: yes, but for various reasons not the best idea [22:49] and simply update as needed until/after release? [22:49] Matson: yes a beta version help in #ubuntu+1 not here [22:49] Grenyaris1: yes [22:49] !jaunty | Matson [22:49] Matson: 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 23rd - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support.

[22:51] jmacfuzzy: maybe to generic... you can name it my_raidcard_blacklist so you know at a glance why the file is there [22:52] However, Matson, I have friends who run Debian Unstable...so, it all depends on the level of pain you are willing to suffer... but even with that, I would easily upgrade to Ubuntu's latest before I would even think about Upgrading to Microsoft's latest... [22:52] ah i thought i was just supposed to tail something to the existing blacklist [22:52] is there any way to know the details of the PSU from the konsole === Guest71202 is now known as Jaro [22:53] newuser: you don't normalley, you just install the graphics card driver that is available the latest one, and that's that :) restart x [22:53] newuser: and hope everything works [22:53] how long will 8.10 be supported? [22:53] noren_: I'm not sure if the information you want is there, but try "sudo lshw -C power" [22:53] newuser: and if not you can go to recovery mode on the boot loader, to get x back to how it was [22:53] leme try [22:53] Italian men for help me?

(click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [22:54] Italian men for help me? [22:54] Matson: standard releases such as 8.10 and 9.04 get 18 months of suppourt, where as long term suppourt releasese such as 8.04 get 3 years suppourt on the desktop and 5 on the server [22:54] oCean_: nothing came up [22:54] noren_: In that case, it's only for batteries I guess [22:54] OK! Thank's..... [22:55] are the packages for 8.04 desktop and 8.04 server different? [22:55] Matson: and so LTS's aren't really considered a downgrade even, plus slightly more cutting edge stuff with be in the versions before the next LTS [22:55] erUSUL: ok, i see other files in the directory with names like that [22:55] Matson: no they will use the same stuff [22:55] Ok, so since I am not getting a response about dhclient's scripts, how about a suggestion for the following idea -- I want to run ddclient ONLY when my external IP address changes (hence the desire to know when the IP lease is renewed, in exit or entry script for dhclient)...currently ddclient runs ALWAYS...but I don't need that...and I don't want to worry about it manually... Any Ideas? [22:55] Matson: you can get the server stuff in the desktop version [22:55] are the files just parsed and the "blacklisted" part looked for? [22:55] Matson: no; you just get a different selection of packages installed by default [22:55] just more packages in the default list for server? [22:55] oCean_: how can i get more info abt my PSU [22:55] right [22:55] Matson: it also uses a different kernel by default [22:56] meaning like you said, it wouldn't matter what i named it as long as i had the blacklisted in there [22:56] jmacfuzzy: yep probably they are all cated together and the fed to modprobe [22:56] i think i understand the process now [22:56] crdlb: really? [22:56] thanks for your help, i'm gonna see if that worked with a reboot [22:56] we'll see if i come back from the dead here [22:56] Matson: -server instead of -generic [22:56] jmacfuzzy: as long as it is in the /etc/modprobe.d/ dir too [22:57] got it [22:57] noren_: don't know, really [22:57] how can i fix this: ubuntu doesnt push my laptop's internal fans to high speed when the temperatures are high, they are always at the slow setting [22:57] eae [22:57] algum br aqui?

[23:22] ynk: try for yourself, it looks much nicer for a start though [23:22] sebsebseb, ok then. i guess i'll give it a try. =) thanks buddy. [23:22] Checkmate91, well, does the printer print red on windows/mac? [23:22] Checkmate91, that'll tell you the answer [23:22] Checkmate91: it could be either. it's not uncommon for colour cartridges to clog up or run out of ink. [23:22] newuser: maybe you've seen this already? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=495877 [23:22] Checkmate91, yeah you sure the red isn't just out? [23:22] oCean_ sony vaio pcg-fx120 running ubuntu 8.04 which is working fine except ctrl-alt-backspace not working [23:22] abstrakt, true but then I have to boot into windows and install the driver...put an option [23:23] Checkmate91, ... [23:23] omg, you poor thing [23:23] i know :) [23:23] Waldir: yeah you can't just install it [23:23] Checkmate91: your only way to know for sure then is to change your red ink cartridge and see if that cures it. [23:23] Waldir: there's an issue with the Deb for Ubuntu and things, that's what it was I belive yeah [23:23] It's all in one cartridge [23:23] sebsebseb: so what do I do? [23:23] PhotoJim, uh, not really, you could print on windows like i just suggested [23:23] and then if it prints red you know for sure [23:23] oCean_ yeah I did, but last message indicates the problem was never fixed [23:23] abstrakt: he rejected that. so changing the cartridge is the only option left. [23:24] omg [23:24] Checkmate91: then you have to change the whole cartridge... if trying it with Windows or OS X is not an option. [23:24] Waldir: a few weeks or so ago, a woman really wanted Gimpshop, so some guy helped her get it working, loads of command stuff etc [23:24] it's not that I rejected it...just wanted a reason to come on here and chat :-) [23:24] PhotoJim, Checkmate91, because it's so much easier to go to best buy and spend $40 than it is to boot into windows [23:24] blah blah so sarchastic [23:24] thanks [23:24] Checkmate91: I have nothing to fix at the moment. Just come in here and chat then. :) [23:24] sebsebseb: do you think people at #gimp will be annoyed if I ask this there? :P [23:25] Waldir: maybe [23:25] sebsebseb: :( [23:25] Checkmate91: do you have hplip-gui package installed? you would have HPLIP Toolbox in your Prefs [23:25] oh and I have to patch the windows machine because of the big and scary confliker worm :0 [23:25] Waldir: why not just use Gimp? oh sure it's GUI is a bit well, you got to get used to it, but otherwise it will be a good app [23:25] jtaji, yes [23:25] Checkmate91: does it report your ink levels? [23:25] jtaji, HPLIP test page and CUPS test page yeild same results [23:25] Waldir: there are other graphics programs for Linux as well, that are good [23:26] jtaji, it does but as a whole.. COLOR = 35% Remaining [23:26] sebsebseb: really? I didn't know about that [23:26] Checkmate91: wow strange... never saw one like that [23:26] sebsebseb: which do you recommend? [23:26] Waldir: yeah look in synaptic, I don't do graphics [23:26] does anybody know if there are bug filed on launchpad for eye of gnome on intrepid? [23:26] Waldir: ,but I know there are other good ones [23:26] well thanks for the suggestions people [23:26] I'll figure it out [23:26] Waldir, you can do most all the same things in GIMP that you can do in Photoshop, it's just that it takes longer in the GIMP [23:26] it hangs pretty often [23:26] Checkmate91: taking out the cartridge and rocking it around might get you some more ink out of it, if it's an out of ink problem [23:27] Waldir, e.g. in Photoshop you can just add a "dropshadow" layer effect... in the GIMP you have to do all the steps manually... though you can surely write your own plugin to dropshadow things for you, and i'm pretty sure there's gotta be at least a dropshadowing plugin for GIMP... the point is that you can do all the same stuff [23:27] Waldir, though i have yet to find any good collection of plugins that do the same stuff as PS [23:27] Waldir: you look through Synaptic and find the graphics apps and install yeah. however to help you get into the right direction check out these sites. http://www.osalt.com http://www.linuxeq.com [23:28] abstrakt: still, my main problem is the multiple windows :) [23:28] Waldir, ... that's a problem... why? [23:28] Waldir: also apparnatlly Photoshop CS2 works pretty well under the latest Wine. http://www.winehq.org and add the Ubuntu repo then always get latest Wine [23:28] Waldir, that doesn't sound like a problem, that sounds like you being stubborn [23:28] hey all.. anyone know of a gnome compatible instant messenger with webcam?? [23:28] Anyway to tell apt to copy files from file:// repositories instead of symlinking them? [23:28] cerrie: which network? [23:29] yahoo manly [23:29] cerrie, http://www.pidgin.im is basically the best IM client, dunno if it supports web cams though [23:29] nah it doesent :O( [23:29] abstrakt: no web cam suppourt yet [23:29] abstrakt: if that's it, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one ;) [23:29] cerrie: for MSN, there's AMSN that does web cam [23:29] cerrie: Yahoo not sure [23:29] Waldir, ... er... if what's what? [23:29] Waldir, you're not the only one. i'm still trying to get used to the multiple windows myself. LoL [23:30] sebsebseb: I already tried PS under wine but many tiny fonts were unreadable for some reason [23:30] can someone PLEASE just tell me how to make a startup floppy that will allow me to start the install from the cd rom? [23:30] yeah been looking for a while, nothin for gnome. [23:30] :( [23:30] Waldir, it just takes time to get used to new styles of doing things. [23:30] and not just say "use smartboot" cause it DOES NOT WORK [23:30] :( [23:30] cerrie: if you have enough RAM, how much you got? and a WindowsCD/ISO you can install Windows in Virutalbox and do Yahoo Messenger in there [23:30] Yahoo at one point had its own proprietary Linux client in .deb packages. Is it no longer available? If it is, it might be the best option if you need webcam support. [23:30] abstrakt: if it is that I'm being stubborn :) [23:30] the only thing i can conclude if you can't handle the "multiple windows" is that you're mildly retarded [23:30] took me 3 days just to install my graphics card driver properly. [23:30] Waldir: yeah you got to get the fonts in from Windows, and put in the wine fonts folder [23:30] ynk: i'd rather get gimpshop working :| [23:30] Waldir: or get from some where else [23:31] redmushrooom does your bios boot to hard drive first, if so you should go into bios and make sure that the CDROM you've got the startup cd in runs before your Harddrive [23:31] PS has multiple "windows" they just take the form of toolbars... [23:31] RedMushroom: there is one available on the net for free. I googled for it a couple of years ago and found it. It's meant for really old systems that can't boot off CD-ROM drives. [23:31] sebsebseb: oh so *that* was the problem [23:31] it's just a freaking difference of a window manager [23:31] it's not my bios [23:31] Waldir, what is the difference between gimpshop and GIMP? nvm.. i'll google it. [23:31] i need a startup floppy diskette [23:31] that has cd-rom drivers on it [23:31] thanks, tryed the linux yahoo a while back, no cam support tho :O( cant win lol [23:31] that will let me tell the computer to install off the cd-rom [23:31] that's it [23:31] it'd be like saying that you can use Windows Explorer but not The Finder because the finder has circular colored buttons and Explorer has square gray buttons [23:31] ynk: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMP#Interface_and_usability [23:32] RedMushroom: There is one out there. Give me a minute and I'll see if I can find it. [23:32] i would really appreciate it if you could find it [23:32] salut tlm [23:33] there are plenty of other things that in my mind easily qualify as reasons that The GIMP is harder for someone who's used to photoshop but the window manager is NOT one of them [23:33] qui peut me conseiller un tutu pour installer vmware sur ubuntu merci bcp [23:33] RedMushroom: it's at http://www.bootdisk.com ... would have to spend some time to find it. but that's where I got it. [23:33] julien, #ubuntu-fr === jdizzle_ is now known as jmacfuzzy [23:33] julien, je'n parles pas francais [23:34] abstraki>oki merci [23:34] hi everyone. i used usermod and forgot to add -a, removing myself from the sudoers group. im using linux mint, and was never prompted to set a root password. however, i'm being asked for one when i try to log in in recovery mode as per google search. how can i gain access? [23:34] Is it possible to setup LVM encryption on a drive volume that already has data on it? [23:34] hey guys... I installed the codecs, and gxine.. to try to play .wmv movies.. but it says its encrypted and descryption isnt supported.. gxine does play it but it gets the image fuzzy [23:34] any suggestions? [23:34] gausie: best bet it to use a liveCD and chroot in [23:35] ephaphus: Does the file have DRM? [23:35] Waldir, while googling GIMPshop, I found http://www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/?page_id=12 [23:35] eqisow, where? [23:35] Waldir, it's called Pixel and looks much more similar to Photoshop. [23:36] eqisow: thanks - i expected it would require a livecd im already downloading it. will check the manual for chroot and hopefully should work! thanks for the speedy response [23:36] ynk: will try it :) [23:36] epaphus: where is the file from? wmv with 'digital rights management' embedded will not play in Linux [23:36] gausie: When in bootloader, there is an option to add/modify kernelarguments. You can add "init=/bin/sh", which should take you straight into a shell [23:36] i'm fairly new at ubuntu 8.10, and i'm trying to get all my hardware working similar to within windows xp pro. running a dual boot system, i've got ati drivers downloaded, how do I run it in terminal so that i'm super user (new at terminal) [23:37] epaphus see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management [23:37] eqisow, the file has a .wmv extension... and the readme says it will play with any player that supports .FLA [23:37] .FLV [23:37] sorry [23:37] is PHP PDO available through apt? [23:37] I would like to create a wireless network and, have this persist after restarts, and I'd like to do this from the command line. it is possible? [23:37] can anybody recommend the best pci-e wireless card out-of-the-box for ubuntu wep hacking? [23:37] epaphus: flv in a wmv contaner, pehaps? odd... you could try VLC, though [23:37] sebsebseb: those sites are wonderful resources, I'll bookmark them ^^ [23:38] eqisow, it also says "New Movies Arecopywrited please install and update the DRM identifier to View File." [23:38] the readme [23:39] Waldir: indeed they are, but just a reminder, you get most stuff from synaptic or using the commands instead. and then only get debs and tar.gz's and such from trusted sources [23:39] epaphus: it won't play in Linux, then. See the wiki article I linked a moment ago. The company will likely refund you the purchase price if you explain, or you can play it in windows === Joeb453 is now known as ibuclaw [23:39] er btw I'm using a portuguese keyboard, and my dead keys are requiring me to type 4 times if i want a double symbol, for example ^^ (it should work by pressing the key 2 times only) [23:39] Waldir: or you could get an edited version of something, that contains something bad [23:39] eqisow, thanks. [23:39] abstrakt, aptitude search php|grep php shows nothing, but you can always look on packages.ubuntu.com or search for another repo or package [23:39] oCean_: ok i'll give that a go thanks [23:39] sebsebseb: I'll keep that in mind :) [23:40] phaer, yeah i did a search for PDO already [23:40] Hi everyone [23:41] are there any remedies for slow NTFS-3G performance? [23:41] Hello, I can not get my themes back like they used to be, something has erased my original themes, I am using hardy 64studio, does anyone know how to get this working with apt-get install? [23:42] abstrakt: what is the problem, then? http://www.google.at/search?q=pdo+ubuntu+install seems to know a lot about it. [23:42] can anybody point me the right direction for help on setting up openvpn/kvpnc? [23:43] sorry, link for italian chat? [23:43] almark1: have you tried to aptitude reinstall gnome-themes [23:43] TimReichhart, Client or server? === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [23:43] almark1, Are you sure that it was 64Studio and not Ubuntu Studio ? [23:44] its for client there jordan_u [23:44] sorry, link for italian chat? [23:45] !it > soluxione_ [23:45] soluxione_, please see my private message [23:45] can anyone recommend a simple to use wikisystem for 3-5 users? [23:45] TimReichhart, There is an openvpn plugin for network-manager [23:45] how do I change "open with" shortcuts for a given file type? [23:45] how would I know there jordan? [23:46] hahahahahaha! Microsoft is offering $250k for information that leads to the catching the conflicker creator... wtf that's a freakin joke [23:46] given how much damage it could do or could have done [23:46] maybe if they offered $250 million [23:46] abstrakt: please stay on topic [23:46] that might actually be proportionate to what they should actually be paying/the actual damage [23:46] TimReichhart, Can you rephrase your question please, I don't understand. [23:46] !ot [23:46] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:46] Waldir: system>prefernces>prefered applications [23:47] how would I know if there is a plugin for network manager because I didnt understand your question jordan [23:47] skinofstars1: I've been there before but it seems to only allow a limited amount of configuration, for some predefined file types [23:48] TimReichhart, There is one, You can install it by installing the "network-manager-openvpn" package === patrick is now known as shane8002 [23:50] so does anyone know how to configure the open with associations for various file types? I'd be happy with a link and a RTFM :D [23:51] Is there any way to check what sort of software (PHP, Python, etc.) a remote server is running? [23:51] link italian? === tetreis is now known as T3 [23:51] phaer, Getting PDO to work with Dapper Drake 6.06 [23:52] argh these joins and leaves are so annoying! is there a way to hide them in pidgin? or at least unbold them :| [23:52] phaer, far cry from 8.04 [23:52] Waldir, yes there is... it's a plugin [23:52] Waldir, go get the plugin packs [23:52] Its 64studio yes its not UbuntuStudio [23:52] link italian? [23:52] Waldir: the plugin -- hide join/parts [23:52] Smanettone, #ubuntu-it [23:52] ubottu, it [23:52] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [23:52] you might have not heard of 64studio, its great though/ [23:52] Waldir: right-click on the item you want to choose a program for, go to properties, then Open With tab. You can also add your own (custom) command. I think that association should work for other files of that type [23:53] I will uninstall the gnome-themes and the gdm themes thanks that might work [23:53] would the gdm-themes be called that on the DVD install disk? [23:54] Smanettone: why do you ask over and over again? [23:54] abstrakt: oh sorry, i can not help you then. i am anything but a php guy ;) [23:54] abstrakt, mrwes, thanks, I'll get the plugin :D [23:55] oCean_: how can I remove a custom app that I previously added? [23:55] Waldir: I think by deselecting it? - by selecting an other application? [23:55] Is there a way to restart gdm without rebooting? [23:55] im not sure if i like ubuntu gnome, its my first time on linux (i came from 9x. milenium, xp and vista) but i've finished by hating it so i wanna start with linux but i don't know whitch distro take someone can help me? [23:56] oCean_: that just adds more to the list :( [23:56] Anyone having issues with cgmail not working? [23:56] Is Ekiga free PC-PC or can it call cell phones/land lines also, if so, is there a charge for this service? [23:56] almark1: /etc/init.d/gdm restart should do that trick [23:57] Waldir: you have the plugin already Tools | Plugins [23:57] oCean_: I'm having some trouble with your advice. i ammended init=/bin/sh but this just makes the screen black, with a blinking underscore [23:57] omg, i don't have make?! [23:58] oCean: thanks, when I do that while in term outside of X windows, It won't restart [23:58] lol... is there a meta package that installs the basics for compiling? e.g. gcc make autoconf etc? [23:58] mrwes: lol, I didnt see that in time, now I installed more stuff, but I'll explore them [23:58] Waldir: I don't get it. For each filetype, when you go to properties, there is a radio-button list on the openwith tab right? [23:58] No? No one having an issue with cgmail? [23:58] victor__: That is really a very personal choice, Ubuntu is one of the first user friendly Linux distros to come out, it is stable and supported, but of course, it is a choice, albeit a free choice. [23:58] vigo, don't confuse Ubuntu with GNOME [23:58] oCean_: I don't see radio buttons :/ [23:59] !build-essentials [23:59] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [23:59] gausie: that is not default behaviour. It should just boot (similar to rescue mode) but drop you into a shell [23:59] ok it works now I.. think [23:59] thanks all [23:59] vigo, and don't confuse Ubuntu with KDE either... just cuz you don't like GNOME doesn't mean you won't like Ubuntu... there are *lots* of window managers to choose from and you can configure most of them to look and work almost *any* way you want [23:59] Waldir: using gnome? [23:59] vigo, you can setup your linux box to look and work like a mac, or like windows, or like something entirely different [23:59] mrwes, thanks [23:59] Waldir: using nautilus?
