[00:00] oCean_: yes, yes [00:00] abstrakt: My apologies, you can choose almost any GNU/GPL or whatever for the interface, I like Gnome,KDE, and others. [00:00] join #vim [00:00] oCean_: when i ammend it, the line reads "root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash init=/bin/sh [00:01] Waldir: that is weird. When I browse to, say, my homedir and right-click > properties, then I go to the tab the is called Open With, then there is either one (the default) application, or more applications I can choose from [00:01] yes, me too, but no radio buttons ~^ [00:01] ok, and so how do i install updatedb/locate? what package are they in? [00:02] vigo, k, so... what was the question/concern again? [00:02] gausie: well, you can remove the quiet and splash part, but I'm not sure whether that will do the trick. [00:02] I just got sound working over hdmi for media on myth, but it's not getting sound from the TV card (via pci). any thoughts? [00:03] Waldir: Right-click and not the list you see at THAT point [00:03] Waldir: (just to make sure) [00:03] abstract: something about interfaces, there are many choices [00:03] 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? [00:03] oCean_: yes, I know :) [00:04] oCean_: The tail of it is "Begin: Running /scripts/local-bottom ... Done. Done. Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... Done.", then a flashing underscore [00:04] oCean_: if it helps, im using linux mint [00:06] Waldir: ok. Just to make sure we're on the same page. See here my example: http://imagebin.org/44015 [00:06] vigo, something about them? [00:06] vigo, well that helps [00:07] gausie: and you are not able to input anything? [00:07] oCean_: well i can write on the screen as much as i like, but its not doing anything [00:07] abstract: You originally asked about the gnome desktop, there are many, KDE,Gnome,XFCE, and roll your own. [00:07] gausie: Understood. it might be different on mint. Then, you should try the livecd I think [00:08] vigo, er... no i didn't ask anything [00:08] oCean_: ok, thanks for the help! [00:08] gausie: sure. good luck [00:08] vigo, i'm quite aware that there are lots of options [00:08] vigo, i've used FVWM, OpenBox, BlackBox, XFCE, WindowMaker, you name it [00:08] i'm using vim 7.1 on ubuntu 8.10. "set ruler" isn't working... any ideas how to fix that? [00:08] vigo, i used to run *nix as my primary desktop for about 5 years [00:08] Does anybody know if you can encrypt a LVM volume that already has data on it? [00:08] abstract: Then you have my apologies, I am trying to get this silly phone thing working, It is all fun. [00:08] llecc, yeah, ask #vim [00:09] abstrakt: it works for everybody there not using ubuntu... they don't know how to solve === vhdirk is now known as Aegiron [00:09] abstrakt: not mention that it was obviously the first place i asked... so next time, if you don't know the answer, just shut the fuck up you goddamn negro [00:09] llecc, ...

When I open the dialog to choose a CA Certificate, I have no idea where to look. [00:10] oCean_: http://imagebin.org/44017 [00:12] Waldir: That might be because this file has no association just yet. So, there is no default app to start with [00:12] i wiped all the groups my account wsa in. i'm using a live disk to add myself to the groups again, but which should i be in by default? [00:12] but there is. it's a text file [00:12] oCean_: right now the default is "text editor" (gedit) [00:12] hello room [00:13] Waldir, what kind of file is that? [00:13] Waldir, is it literally a plain text file? [00:13] can anyone help me get my portable media player to mount? [00:13] Waldir: But in the screenshot it says "wikimedia logos" and NOT .txt [00:13] Waldir, or is it some special archive... [00:13] this last kernel update has killed it (it no longer automounts) [00:14] abstrakt: no, I created it with gedit :) [00:14] Waldir, k... and you want to open it with... [00:14] ? [00:14] Waldir: It does know the filetype, but apperantly the association is based on the .txt extension? [00:14] Waldir, i don't understand the problem [00:14] Frijolie: did you need any additional modules? [00:14] Fspot or some image thing, could be a png, or HTML [00:14] anybody know what command 'system -> preferences -> sound' runs? [00:14] I want to open it with leafpad [00:14] oCean_: I'll try adding txt then [00:14] Waldir, yeah most file type detections in Nautilus i think are done with name extensions... though i think there's an option to have nautilus check filetypes based on contents also [00:15] skinofstars11, not to my knowledge [00:15] Frijolie: kernel updates often mean you need to reinstall kernel modules [00:15] Waldir, what's leafpad? [00:15] slimjimflim: gnome-sound-properties [00:15] ty [00:15] skinofstars11, I don't remember adding any additional models [00:15] abstrakt: it's just another text editor.. much lighter [00:15] skinofstars11, er modules [00:15] Waldir: yes. As I said you can add leafpad as 'custom' app to that list, and then set it default for that type [00:15] Waldir, ah [00:16] Waldir: and yes, the list gets longer that way, but that is hardly a problem I think [00:16] Frijolie: what type is it? did it just as as a normal mass media device? [00:16] Waldir, or you could open leafpad, and then just drag'n'drop the file into it [00:16] Waldir, that's what i do [00:16] abstrakt: lol [00:16] slimjimflim: Just FYI: You can click System -> Preferences -> Main Menu, find the menu item, and right click it and go to "Properties" to see which command it runs [00:16] skinofstars11, yeah, I have it in MSC mode (it's just seen as an external USB drive) [00:16] skinofstars11, it's seen in mount [00:16] i don't bother with script kiddie editors anymore [00:16] oCean_: how do I set it as default? [00:16] skinofstars11, but not in lsusb [00:17] oCean_: nvm [00:17] Waldir: it probably is, after setting it for *this* file of type .txt [00:17] Waldir: at least I guess it works that way [00:17] oCean_: no, it didnt stick as default :( [00:18] Frijolie: does it not detect it when you plug it in then? [00:18] skinofstars11, no, it used to mount automatically and now when it's plugged in I get nothing on the desktop [00:19] skinofstars11, and now when I plug it in the device continually turns on/off [00:19] Waldir: Well, when I set my .pdf files not to be opened by evince, but by acroreader, all pdf's files are opened by acroreader. [00:19] skinofstars11, and it has the latest firmware [00:19] Frijolie: that's odd, and i'm afraid i don't have an answer for you as it's not something i've found [00:19] oCean_: yes, that also happened with pdf files here, but for txt they seem to stick with gedit for some reason... weird [00:19] skonofstars11, and it's a Sansa Fuze [00:20] Frijolie: sorry, latest firmware? on the device? [00:20] Waldir: Ah, sorry.. i don't know then [00:20] skinofstars11, yes, firmware on the Fuze [00:20] oCean_: I'll figure it out sooner or later... it's not even a week since i moved to linux :) [00:21] skinofstars11, mount says something about gvfs-fuse-daemon [00:21] Waldir, no syntax hilite? [00:21] skinofstars11, before it was just /dev/sdb1 [00:21] bah... guess it's just a notepad clone with better Undo features [00:21] Waldir: ok! keep up the good work! :) [00:21] is anyone familiar with mail notification? it won't let me open the program again to add more accounts [00:21] Waldir, are you a coder? [00:21] hey everyone, is there any way to get "xanalogtv" working on gnome-screensaver?

[00:22] skinofstars11, it was FAT before..i haven't changed it [00:22] Waldir, how old are you? (if you don't mind answering or me asking) [00:22] abstrakt: why would I bother? :) I'm 23, why? [00:22] Frijolie: yeah, i mean on your computer [00:23] Waldir, why would you bother what? [00:23] skinofstars11, huh? my Hard Drive is formatted as ext3 [00:24] someone just told me to use #rm -rf * to set every file in a directory as executable. [00:24] Frijolie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace [00:24] kara-away, hahahaha [00:24] isn't that the delete everything command? [00:24] kara-away: yes [00:24] Frijolie: this probably won't help solve your problem, but it should give you a better understanding of what gvs-fuse does [00:24] abstrakt: bother about telling you my age :) === MobileMyles6o7 is now known as TwoToneSpirit [00:25] thanks for confirming. and thanks to the ubuntu forums for telling me to NEVER EVER DO THAT, or I might have listened. [00:25] Waldir, well if it's a bother, then don't... but i figured maybe you would bother to tell me your age because I asked... and so I asked, and so you told me [00:25] lool [00:26] but I'm curious about the reason why you asked :) [00:26] Guys, the whole age-discussion thingo isn't exactly fit for #ubuntu - could you continue in a /query, or alternatively, #ubuntu-offtopic? This channel is only for support. :) [00:26] skinofstars11, any idea as to why it would have been mounted differently? /dev/sdb1 > gvs-fuse? [00:26] can you please tell me how to do what I was originally trying to do, which is to give read/execute permission to every file in a directory? [00:27] kara-away: chmod +rx * [00:27] Waldir, communication enhancement. if i know your age i can better decide what to say to you and how to say it to you. if you're 12 i'm gonna say things differently than if you're 65 than if you're 23 [00:27] thank you, lstarnes [00:28] Waldir, of course i realize you could be lying to me about your age... but given that you would only be degrading the quality of possible future communication and help you might recieve... it doesn't bother me [00:28] this guy doesn't even think he's a jerk for that. he thinks he's funny. :( [00:28] abstrakt: lol, ok :) I tend to decide on the basis of the conversations I have with people [00:28] lol [00:28] Waldir, ultimately that's the only thing that matters [00:29] Waldir, but extra information about a person can aide communication [00:29] kara-away: not in this channel, I hope? [00:29] 99 cent cheeseburger? [00:29] abstrakt: instead of asking... since many times the real age and the mental age mismatch [00:29] abstrakt: sure [00:29] oh, gosh, no. I mostly hang out in #math and #not-math, and I'm trying to get ocaml going so I can install HOL Light... [00:29] plus it can assure you that your judgement was correct (in case it was, lol) [00:29] I know the basics of using ubuntu, but I don't have a lot of the commands down. Fortunately, I do know that one. [00:29] well, guys, I'll be back but for today I gotta go [00:30] it's past midnight here [00:30] Waldir, UK? [00:30] abstrakt: portugal :) [00:30] ah, euro [00:30] figured [00:31] kara-away: Just starting ubuntu ej? Download your free copy of the pocketguide here: http://ubuntupocketguide.com/download3.html [00:31] normally, how long does it take for wubi to install? [00:31] thanks, oCean_ :) [00:32] cause I have someone that is taking 2-3 hours, and still on 15% [00:32] zhurai, on a slow computer i'd give it all day [00:32] oCean_: running weechat now :) [00:32] :| [00:32] that might be why [00:32] mafsi: ok! [00:32] oCean_, abstrakt, thanks for the help. see you later! [00:32] looks like I have ocaml going. thanks for the help. [00:32] zhurai depends a bit on your connection speed but that seems very long - in my case on ADSL it took about 45 mins [00:33] hmm [00:33] <Akatsuki> still 15% there [00:33] <zhurai> huh, how long have you been at it O_o [00:33] <Akatsuki> 2-3 hours o_O [00:33] <Akatsuki> it says scanning files [00:33] zhurai: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:33] and that included getting the updates after install really [00:33] oh [00:33] I started gnome and all of the menus and such are gone. how do I get them back [00:33] it's done the downloading part quick [00:34] just the scanning of the files [00:34] or it just froze [00:34] o_O [00:34] GentooJohnny, ? the menus are "gone" ? [00:34] Anyone hear that stuff about google phone service? [00:34] the bars top and bottom [00:34] you mean you lost your panels? [00:34] ...did you delete them maybe by accident? [00:34] GentooJohnny, yeah the taskbars... dunno, sounds like you messed something up... i'd reboot fully [00:34] zhurai - I found xubuntu quicker though - which is what I installed - because it does not download Open Office during installation. That is what takes most of the time. He might want to consider xubuntu if connection is slow [00:34] im sure they are running somewhere. what are they called [00:34] he says it already dled [00:34] gnome-panel? [00:35] it's "scanning" [00:35] GentooJohnny, px ax | grep gnome [00:35] GentooJohnny, ps ax | grep panel [00:35] amyone know if there is a ee pc irc channel [00:35] i am using jaunty on my laptop and for some reason ubuntu doesnt remember my volume settings after a reboot [00:35] anyone know why ? [00:36] abstrakt: I killed it and it restarted [00:36] but still doesn't show [00:36] UKGent: it's already dled he said, and it says it's scanning, for 2~3 hrs ish [00:36] GentooJohnny, as i said... i would do a full reboot [00:36] GentooJohnny: reboot [00:36] abstrakt: I just did one. [00:36] Ill do another [00:36] GentooJohnny, and if you've done that, then i'd go muck around with GDM and try to get my old configuration back [00:36] amyone know if there is a ee pc irc channel [00:37] ugliefrog, heard you the first time... wtf is ee pc ? [00:37] like a mini cooper, laptop version :) === simon_ is now known as Guest20362 [00:37] tiny, tiny [00:37] its my daughters net top [00:38] ugliefrog: yes, there is #ubuntu-eeepc, but I'm not sure if there is any activity [00:38] k thank you ill give it a try [00:39] is that one of those tiny $300 acer's from Wal-mart? [00:39] ugliefrog, ^ [00:39] New 2 Ubuntu...having problems with sites not finding java...Pogo.com keeps saying"Somewhere along the way to your destination, the address (location) you were trying to get to was garbled." [00:40] LOL, has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? [00:40] i am using jaunty on my laptop and for some reason ubuntu doesnt remember my volume settings after a reboot, anyone know how to fix this ? [00:41] abstrakt: no, it's the 7, 9 or 10 inch mini laptops from asus [00:41] alright. a full reboot did not fix gnome-panel === edgex- is now known as edgex-[a] [00:41] zeta: What? [00:41] spaceBARbarian: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks. [00:41] oCean_, mmm... i think we're talking about the same thing [00:41] asus, acer, whatever [00:41] one of those A words [00:42] eeepc is by asus [00:42] spaceBARbarian, sudo alsactl store [00:42] i saw that they come with Ubuntu, which intrigued me [00:42] how can i start gdm on :1 ? [00:42] GentooJohnny, i would create a new GDM session thinger [00:42] Why does kde 4.2 get spring loaded folders and we don't. I'd like to see spring loaded folders in Nautilus, too [00:42] GentooJohnny, i don't really know how to explain what i would do... but i know what i would do... and it has to do with GDM [00:42] abstrakt: I was hoping I wouldn't have to [00:43] fbc-mx, so add them [00:43] Hey Guys what would be the cause for my network being totally hosed (extremely slow) when i copy a file from a usb ntfs drive? [00:43] abstrakt, how? [00:43] fbc-mx, um... same way you would add any feature to Nautilus [00:43] fbc-mx, it *is* open source [00:44] Doonz: is the cpu busy? is all memory in use? [00:44] how do i get wireshark to load? [00:44] where is it located on the disk? [00:45] its dual core xeons with only one core running at less the 20% ram is only 500mg outta 8gb [00:45] Doonz: i did not use ntfs for 1 or 2 years, but i can remember that one ntfs driver ate all my power [00:45] Doonz: than i cant help you ;) [00:45] nubuntu, "whereis wireshark" [00:45] or use the search tool to find it [00:45] phaer: ok np. /me goes on grumbling about stupid work drived [00:46] anyone help to get a portable media player to mount? [00:46] l [00:46] abstrakt, yeah, but that assumes that I know how to program in something other than php. [00:46] abstrakt: gdm doesn't give a choice of seting up a new login. just create a new user? [00:46] !ask [00:46] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:48] fbc-mx, not really. it assumes that you're smart enough to program. programming is really 90% about reading the manual. and any new open source project you work on you'll have to learn the system and how it's coded. [00:48] GentooJohnny, yeah i would create a new user and see if you can get that to work [00:48] GentooJohnny, and or delete the old user too and re-create it [00:48] GentooJohnny, which should, in effect, create a completely brand new session [00:49] guess I stumped everyone [00:50] Frijolie, no you just have been to unobservant to notice that someone told you something already [00:50] s/to/too/ [00:51] abstrakt, then I must be blind..i don't see anything [00:51] I am needing some help on setting up my vpn server I am using smoothwall and that got my vpn server. [00:52] hey guys [00:53] say im doing a cp command is there a way to see how fast its copying and how much time is left? [00:53] apparently my dedi-server has two IP addresses [00:53] one on eth0 and one on eth1 [00:53] the one on eth0 is the ip address that was sent to me in my welcome email [00:53] Doonz: you have to patch coreutils for that with the gentoo patch, or use a tool and pipe you cp command [00:53] s/you/your [00:53] abstrakt: that's normal [00:54] seems like i should be able to just go to http://my.ip.add.ress/ [00:54] and that apache should report "it works" [00:54] illovae: thanx [00:54] because i did nothing more than the default install of apache [00:54] abstrakt: right [00:54] aptitude install apache2 [00:54] infomomo, however i get a Firefox error... i can paste exactly which one if you want [00:54] infomomo, i'm kinda stumped as to why i can't even get to the default site when i just go straight to the IP [00:54] abstrakt: i am no pro, but go ahead [00:55] paste the ip [00:55] Is there network cloning software for Ubuntu? Like with Ghost/Windows, but with Ubuntu with the same capabilities that Ghost has? [00:55] how do i add a command line launcher to a panel ? [00:55] infomomo, i'd prefer to /msg you the ip if that's ok [00:55] Roasted, G4L. Ghost4Linux [00:55] Roasted: clonezilla [00:55] just don't want my private server ip in a public chan [00:55] it's seen by Mount as a gvs-fuse and lsusb doesn't see it at all [00:55] infomomo, ok to /msg you? [00:55] abstrakt: right [00:55] er gvfs-fuse-daemon [00:56] infomomo - I spent 4 months trying to get clonezilla right. That product doesnt do the job like I thought it would. [00:56] infomomo, right now the NameVirtualHost directive just says NameVirtualHost * [00:56] which afaik should be fine... and the listen directive is just Listen 80 [00:56] Roasted, Ghost4Linux. [00:56] how can i disable the touchpad mouse on mylaptop and only use my usb? [00:56] so that should bind apache to any and all ip's available right? [00:56] Roasted, just google 'g4l' and you'll find it [00:56] huufarted - all right, I'll try that. Is that an open so urce product that has a decent userbase? like with a forum and all? [00:56] yes, Roasted. [00:56] huufarted - have you used it? [00:56] Not much to talk about, though. It does its work well [00:56] Roasted, yes. [00:57] huufarted - have you used clonezilla server? [00:57] Roasted, took a 160 GB Laptop HDD dual boot with Windows, moved it to a 500 GB drive, removed the NTFS, moved the Ext3, moved the SWAP part, extended my /home part and it worked PERFECTLY. [00:57] abstrakt: pm me [00:57] huufarted - with G4L or CZ Server? [00:57] Roasted, G4L [00:58] huufarted - good stuff. Does G4L support windows at all, or is it linux only? [00:58] Roasted, it uses 'dd' so it works on ANY partition. It moves byte-for-byte. Doesn't care what partition. [00:58] huufarted - good stuff. Have you used FOG? [00:58] Roasted, sorry. never heard of it. [00:58] Can anyone tell me how to add Mail Notifications to my Sessions start up? [00:59] huufarted - check it out. Open source, free, runs on top of Ubuntu... I have been using ita t work and it works so great, I'm so thankful that I found it. It's primarily gauged towards educational and government purposes, which is up my alley since Im a tech @ a school district. Only thing is, it's geared more for Windows workstations, even though it's linux based. But I got to thinking, if FOG works great with Ubuntu (as the server) [00:59] and Windows (as the clients), what would happen if I had 1800 Ubuntu machines instead of 1800 XP machines? Hence my question... [01:00] i must have stumped everybody [01:00] why are all the repos for ubuntu neutred now? I need a nes emulator that will work with kde 4.2? cause GFCE doesn't [01:00] Roasted. You haven't said what it does. [01:00] huufarted - just like Ghost, man. [01:00] Roasted, gotcha. [01:00] can anyone here help me with Flex/Lex? [01:01] hello - im running ubuntu server 8.04 right now and i was wondering if theres a way to make output scrollable like man [01:01] huufarted - It's a great tool. If you're in the neighborhood of cloning machines, I suggest you try it. But like I said, I wasn't suer what I'd have to do if I ran all Ubuntu stations instead of XP, but G4L is good to remember that it'll also do the job. [01:01] shadowblade1: Which sort of output? [01:01] shadowblade1: use | more [01:01] huufarted - thanks for the input, though! [01:01] infomomo, i know it should say "it works" [01:01] i checked the default /var/www/index.html and i've seen it before [01:01] Huufarted: thanks [01:01] shadowblade1: like this ls -l | more [01:01] shadowblade1: | less is likely better than | more [01:01] infomomo, it's a dedicated server from slicehost [01:01] <_Brun0_> What's the ~/Examples dir/link? Can I delete it? [01:02] Flannel: that works too [01:02] _Brun0_: yes. They are examples of OOo documents. [01:02] abstrakt: dedicated :S damn ! good stuff [01:02] yeh [01:02] Hi, how can I check how much memory is available on my live USB if I am running ubuntu from the live USB drive? [01:02] <_Brun0_> Huufarted, thanks! If I delete that link will I have any weird app behaviour? [01:02] :) [01:02] Tokenekie: You mean how much drive space? [01:03] it's really bothering me that it doesn't freakin work after a default install of apache [01:03] Huufarted: How much "free" drive space [01:03] it doesn't even say "it works" [01:03] _Brun0_: no. The original directory still exists, you're only deleting the link. [01:03] Tokenekie: df -h [01:03] join #nes [01:03] <_Brun0_> Huufarted, thanks alot! [01:03] it should "just work" after i installed apache... i've restarted apache a bunch [01:03] abstrakt: The Best Ways The best way: send us email. We also have an online chat (http://chat.slicehost.com/) room and you are invited to join us there. Call us: 888-82SLICE [01:03] abstrakt: FTW ??? [01:04] infomomo, yeah i guess i can call them... was hoping to not [01:04] abstrakt: go straight to the chat room !!!! [01:04] abstrakt: after apache's install, when no ServerName is set, it starts on 127.0.0.1 [01:04] abstrakt: make sure it's readable by www-data. [01:04] abstrakt: q.e.d. in /var/log/apache2/error_log [01:05] oCean_, uhh, i don't think so... i was getting that error message before... "could not determine server's fully qualified blah blah blah using 127..." [01:05] oCean_, but lately on reload that isn't happening [01:05] Huufarted: If I created the live USB while allocating the rest of the entire memory to store system settings, would "df -h" say that my drive is full? I used the System->Administration->create a USB startup disk application to make my life USB [01:06] abstrakt: That's just a warning, and you can fix that here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Troubleshooting Apache [01:06] so i assume it's bound to the right ip [01:06] but i could be batty [01:06] tokenekie, df -h shows ALL mounted drives, total space, free space, used space. That's all it does. [01:06] aight, gtg, thx for the suggestions all [01:06] ttyl [01:06] abstrakt, yeah not a big deal at all, just means your web doesnt map to a FQDN [01:06] Tokenekie: just type it and see, you'll understand. [01:07] Yeah, but it says my 1.9g live USB drive is completely full, which I dont believe [01:07] Unless it actually is full [01:07] Tokenekie: things like Live CDs it will display as 100% full. But it if says 100% full, then I'd believe it. [01:07] Does anybody know if you can setup LVM encryption on a volume that already has data on it? Or do you need to do it when you intially configure it? [01:08] eqisow, not exactly possible === jay is now known as jayb [01:09] eqisow, but a side question, is the volume already LVM? [01:09] Hello I get this error everytime I use my Hardy disto, where can I get this file, I can't find it on the disk, but I installed this disto with It only, Can't open file /usr/share/gdm/themes/64studio/64studio.xml === stephenbyerley is now known as byerley [01:09] Huufarted: The "df -h" says my live USB is mounted on /cdrom. I just created it so that has to mean that although it says its full, there is actually space to write files to right? [01:09] almark1, are you using the ubuntu-studio disc? [01:10] Tokenekie: all CDs display as 100% full. [01:10] Good morning/evening, depending on what part of the world you are in. [01:10] almark1, additionally #ubuntustudio would be the proper place to ask. [01:10] hello! I need help about glassfishv2 on ubuntu server. anyone? [01:10] Huufarted: So in other words, there is no way to tell how much actual space I have left on my live USB. [01:11] Can somebody please help me set up my printer/scanner, if possible? [01:11] He-man: sure [01:11] tokenekie, look at the total space and subtract it from 700 or whatever the max capacity of your CDs are. [01:12] Which command is user to give root permissions in the Debian terminal? [01:12] natsukashi_: please rephrease that? Not sure what you're asking [01:12] infomomo: Thanks info. I have a Lexmark X2630, and obviously, it won't recognise any drivers from windows. I dont know how to install it. I have WINE, and I cant find drivers with that either for it. [01:12] Huufarted: "sudo" = ? in debian [01:12] Okay, but there is no way to check how much space is left after I have added data to the usb drive later on unless I manually keep track of ever bit of data I put into it? [01:12] natsukashi_: sudo [01:12] macd: yes, it's a raid1 running in LVM [01:12] natsukashi_: it's still sudo [01:13] Ah, okay. Thanks. :) [01:13] natsukashi_: if you want to actually operate with full root permissions, you can type this: sudo su - [01:13] natsukashi_: su && apt-get install sudo [01:13] natsukashi_: This is #ubuntu. You should try #debian instead. They'll be able to better suit your needs. [01:14] natsukashi_: exactly what Flannel said.. jion #Debian === bittin___ is now known as bittin [01:14] macd: well its not ubuntustudio, its 64studio. Would ubuntustudio help? [01:15] macd: Its Hardy [01:15] almark1: What is 64studio? [01:16] Flannel: its a profession DAW with all the goodies like Ubuntu but on a pro level its Ubuntu or Debian [01:16] Flannel: 64studio.org or com [01:17] almark1: Youre best bet is to get support from the 64studio people. Obviously they'll know whats going wrong with the 64studio stuff. [01:17] Flannel: 64studio is a 64bit version of Linux for Multimedia purposes, they have 32bit and 64bit versions [01:17] I'm having difficulty getting GRUB to get past stage 1.5 while using a PCI SATA card [01:17] Can anyone help? [01:18] And by difficulty I mean it hangs at "loading stage 1.5" and I dont't even get a gru> [01:18] Flannel: thats my problem they are hardly in IRC, its a very modest disto. I'll just have to use the forum then. [01:18] almark1, probably your best bet, searching the install disc doesnt yield that file ? [01:19] macd: no, I haven't a clue where it is in pool main === arakthor is now known as arakthor|WINGS [01:19] macd: I am using ubuntu so to speak its hardy === MobileMyles6o7 is now known as JMyles [01:19] almark1, are you familiar with the find utility? === jdizzle_ is now known as jmacfuzzy [01:19] macd: you mean find /yadayada | grep -i something? [01:20] almark1, yes, does that yield results as to the files location on the disc? [01:20] does anyone know of any ways to speed up NTFS-3G read speed, or at least troubleshoot the cause of extremely low read speeds? (under 100KB/sec) [01:20] macd: all that it gives me is ubuntu-gdm themes and gnome-themes I did a dpkg -i those files and it didn't fix this [01:21] offipso: try asking in #linux as well. Best I can say is you need to load the module before grub as see your mbr... you may need to boot from a separate disk first. I'm not sure. [01:21] almark1, sounds as if their theme is missing the file then, if its not present on the install disc packages, you might want to try a new theme, or those forums. [01:21] macd: My problem is I don't know what an update of my system uninstalled, I did a full update about 2 days, ago, all was fine until .. [01:22] almark1, chances are you are not the only one experiencing that issue then [01:22] macd: Yes, it looks like i'm off to the forums [01:22] jmacfuzzy: try hdparm [01:22] So i'm on jaunty but i had the same behavior on intepid: for some reason my computer randomly wakes u whenever it feels like it. relevant syslog: http://rafb.net/p/kbK97d66.html [01:22] macd: Its very annoying very... [01:22] the problem with distros with small adoption rates or maintainers not always available [01:23] infomomo: Sorry mate. Same dramas. [01:23] macd: Yeah, this 64studio BETA! 3.0 so they said there might be some bugs but very stable [01:23] either way, thats a very "noobish" packaging mistake [01:23] macd: what on my part? [01:23] almark1, do your updates come from ubuntu maintained repositories, or 64studio repositories [01:24] m0se5: Thanks, I'll ask there [01:24] macd: Things are messed up, my Gnome themes where deleted and my Gdm 64studio is toast, and I can't find the answers on the disk weird huh [01:24] m0se5: isn't that for IDE? this is for a sata raid array with a controller card -- it's visible and mounted, just reading ungodly slow and i need to copy about 580GB off of it [01:24] macd: Both [01:24] macd: For hardy [01:24] almark1, interesting, mixxing repositories, what great idea [01:25] macd: Ok ok :P [01:25] almark1, But yeah I think you hit the mark with BETA, buggy ;) [01:25] hi all [01:25] anyone has access to a shell that support sockets? [01:25] macd: beta but good, and so to be stable I imagine with a very other updates it should be good. [01:25] indro_, not really the place to ask. [01:26] macd: I just love those days when you spend 8 plus hours trying to fix linux lol [01:26] almark1, mmmhmmm [01:27] macd: Sometimes I think im dumb. But maybe I'm just happy lol [01:27] does anyone have an easy solution for remote desktop from windows to linux? [01:27] ssh? [01:27] jmacfuzzy: I'm not sure. I just threw it out there. It sound's interesting though. I'd love to be the one (you) to figure it out. [01:28] I'm getting the big RSOD on install - at the step of "select and install software" (Red screen of death) [01:28] macd: Thanks for your advice but its time I make some music c-ya :) [01:28] how do I peel back and see what the error is? [01:28] m0se5: if i'm stating it, that'd likely be the case [01:28] matson, is that a server install? [01:28] bob__: vnc? [01:29] okay, I just used the "su -" command to gain root permission. How do I revert it? :) [01:29] bob__, vnc, freenx, both offer windows clients and linux servers. [01:29] natsukashi_: exit [01:29] natsukashi_, exit [01:29] bob__: yes [01:29] :o [01:29] I'm going with http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.2/ubuntu-8.04.2-server-amd64.iso.torrent [01:29] im bak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [01:29] vince here [01:29] m0RrE, ive been looking through some like openvnc but i cant seem to make heads or tails of it [01:29] peterpan [01:30] wow, it really was that simple. Thanks. :D [01:30] Matson, just start over, i had that happen a few times on my server install [01:30] bob__, you need the windows client. installing the server side on the linux box may also require some configuration. [01:30] ok, I'll try that [01:30] bob__: were things stable with a successful install after that? [01:30] Was up. [01:31] Matson, i have my server running 24/7 [01:31] uptime is like 5 months now [01:31] natsukashi_: exit [01:31] any ideas on how to see what the error is ? [01:31] all I get is a red screen - and prompts to go back and try again === TommyBres_ is now known as Tommy_Bres [01:32] Matson, im not sure how to see the error but that is the same spot i had issues with [01:32] k [01:32] restarting now - checking CD for errors first [01:33] bob__: a vnc server is built into KDE... K menu > system settings > Sharing [01:33] anyone else having issues with ubuntu 9.04 playing mp3's? [01:33] m0RrE, im gnome [01:33] (first of all, to clarify, i'm pretty much linux retarded) [01:33] but 8.10 played my mp3 files, 9.04 gives me shit about a missing codec [01:33] Tommy_Bres, join #ubuntu+1 please. [01:33] Tommy_Bres: I was told discussion for 9.04 is in Ubuntu+1 [01:33] Tommy_Bres, as am I. Have you tried Amarok? [01:33] lol alright macd [01:34] Matson, did you check your md5 sums on the download? [01:34] crazy_spai, i haven't, did that work for you? [01:34] Tommy_Bres: take a look at http://www.medibuntu.org/ [01:34] bob__: did not, using the integrated cd check now [01:34] bittorrent uses lots of sha1 hashes [01:34] Tommy_Bres: Yes, I use it all the time. I have them playing off a windows server. [01:34] so expect that it is correct [01:34] oooh ok [01:34] well maybe i'll give that a look [01:34] Tommy_Bres: did you download all your codecs? [01:34] Matson, ah i never used bit torrent [01:35] thiebaude it said codecs could not be found with the auto search [01:35] Matson, I've had that before as well on server hardware with exotic raid cards. On beige box hardware that problem is usually caused by a bad burn (though the cd may pass the check) burn at the slowest rate you can. [01:35] and as previously stated i'm absolutely retarded when it comes to linux, i use ubuntu off of a flash drive occasionally but i'm a windoze user most of the time :X [01:35] macd: ok - I burned at highest rate [01:35] and I'm also using blank DVD stock - did not have a cd-r bank around [01:36] passed the CD-ROM inegrity check [01:36] and I *am* using different hardware - amd64 sun x2200 [01:36] but ws says it is supported === ChotaZ is now known as ChotaZ|Idle [01:38] Matson, ubuntu doesnt like AMD, j/k [01:38] Id try a reburn and see what happends [01:39] AMD+Ubuntu= marriage made in heaven. [01:39] no amd [01:39] amd=bad [01:39] intersting... this time it is taking a long time to create the ext3 file system [01:39] might have missed that step last time [01:39] shathan: why? [01:40] shathan: is that silly trash talk - or is there a real reason not to use amd? [01:40] Please deposit youe Microsoft products to your nearest green box for disposal and enjoy real computing wilt Ubuntu/Linux. [01:40] i use amd64's and they work just fine [01:40] !offtopic [01:40] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:40] lmfao Excell [01:41] base system - reinstalled all ok so far [01:41] kernel 2.6.24-23-server ... [01:42] m0se5, have you set up vnc before? im curious to hear opinions on the easiest one to set up [01:43] bob__: when you got it to work - did you end up installing anything extra on the "*" select list (LAMP, MAIL, Etc)? [01:43] selecting no extra server install items - this time it worked [01:44] postfix, apache, mysql, ssh - have to do those by hand I guess [01:45] bob__: I have little use for vnc because I don't use Windows and ssh is fine for me. That said, I've used TightVNC in the past. [01:45] we have bash [01:45] :) [01:45] Matson, i usually do everything by hand [01:45] Question: `grep 'aac' /proc/devices` produces an output like "253 aac"... I need to strip out the " aac" so I'm left specifically with the 253. How can I achieve that? === jforte is now known as Jena [01:46] fwiw - the server install on 8.04 did not work when I selected LAMP, Mail server, and SSH [01:46] when I redid it, selected nothing, it worked [01:46] l337ingDisorder: ask in #linux or look into awk [01:46] ty btw m0se5 [01:46] does "server" install X11 and {KDE/Gnome} ? [01:47] !x11 [01:47] 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 [01:47] Okay, I have a question. From a default Ubuntu(w/gnome) install, how much does apt-get say it needs to get to install the python-kde4 package (I'm curious) [01:47] m0se5: thanks [01:48] bob__: your welcome... you may find firestarter a nice gui for your linux firewall (IPtables) [01:48] Matson: no... but afterwards apt-get install ubuntu-desktop willl [01:49] k [01:49] Hi, I downloaded ubuntu 64 bit version, and it says ubuntu AMD_64, is there not an IA_64 version as well? [01:49] is here a way to do FDE on 9.04? [01:49] m0RrE, shouldnt he use aptitude vs apt-get?

[01:54] good evening all [01:54] hello [01:54] Hello, I Have A Partition And With Windows Vista On One And Ubuntu On The Other Is There A Way I Can Set Ubuntu To Boot By Default? [01:56] jamieleshaw, are you using grub ? [01:56] is here a way to do FDE on 9.04? [01:56] To Boot Ubuntu I HAve To Put Ubuntu CD In And Select Boot From First Hardisk. [01:56] Yes. [01:56] m0se5: I was referring more to security / sources / etc [01:56] Hey guys. So I just installed pure-ftpd, how come when I try logging on in my ftp client I get authentication failed? [01:57] bob__: actually I just found a nice solution that bypasses grep altogether. awk '/aac/ {print $1}' [01:57] get the lastest security updates for installed packages, for example === adam is now known as Guest57861 [01:58] jamieleshaw, if you have to put in the CD chances are grub is not installed [01:58] l337ingDisorder, awesome, glad you got it resolved, i didnt mess with awk to much, but i remember it from a backflip i was doing with my log files [01:58] intersting - 12 packages needed upgrading [01:58] But GRUB IS On The CD. [01:58] including the kernel [01:58] So How DO I Put GRUB AS MAin Boot System? [01:59] apt-get install grub [01:59] then follow as setup [01:59] from on your ubuntu system.. You should be able to set the boot as your preferred default with no problem.. [02:00] is there an easy way to load test a new machine and get performace specs? [02:00] grub should be installed by default though [02:00] jamieleshaw, check grub-install [02:01] hey guys should i be able to boot from a usb device connected to a PCI usb card on my gigabyte ep45-ud3r motherboard? [02:01] nado: the terminal says command not found. [02:01] Is there a way to tell USB Statup Disk Creator to complete delete everything inside the thumbdrive and then copy the ISO file into it? [02:01] jamieleshaw, then do : sudo apt-get install grub [02:01] hi, is there anything bad about setting up/ using prelink? [02:02] nado: In progress. [02:03] nado: It says grub is already the newest.

[02:05] kitchenrange, right click on a torrent file and choose properties then go to the "open with" tab [02:05] once I have Ubuntu running on a USB thumbdrive with persistency. If I double click on the "Install" icon on the desktop. Will it install Ubuntu with all the apps that are in the USB version or will it install the default one? [02:05] slerder: depends how the boot order is set in the system bios [02:05] jamieleshaw, can you try : sudo grub-install [02:06] andresmh - it install just like the Live CD version [02:06] ola [02:06] Um how do i get back to my BSD install cuz this ain't working for me [02:06] hi, when a phone call comes in the internet disconnects.

[02:09] ktorrent [02:09] and vuze [02:09] Is there much I can do about this when trying to mount my data ext3 disk? http://pastebin.com/m8ee4510 [02:09] are there any applications that work? [02:09] cant find the executable file for bittorrent though [02:10] the files download with the default client. But the client is listed on the site as one not to use, because it has problems reporting the downloads and uploads [02:10] so i dont get credit for my seeding [02:10] ah [02:10] m0se5, I installed the ubuntu livecd onto a thumbdrive with persistency. At some point I want to install it on my hard drive and I would like to keep all the apps I have installed. [02:10] slerder: hmm... Then, I wonder if the cd your using is bootable. [02:11] how do I add the kernel source for ubuntu [02:11] I need to compile network drivers [02:11] well, if it works in one application but not another then it must not be configured correctly [02:11] maybe wrong ports [02:11] dublisk: sudo apt-get linux-source [02:11] ... is there anyway to fix grub so i can boot bsd again.... [02:11] dublisk: oops... sudo apt-get install linux-source [02:11] super grub disk worked for me ;x [02:11] will that get it from the dvd? [02:12] m0se5, yes , it is.. ive tried several bootable cds, super grub disk, ubuntu live cd, windows install cd,.. acronis..etc [02:12] says couldn't find package linux-source [02:12] Is there much I can do about this when trying to mount my data ext3 disk? http://pastebin.com/m8ee4510 [02:13] andresmh: Sorry about that.. I didn't know what persistency was... it's a live cd creator right? I'd follow that guild [02:14] Hammerjak : ive tried randomizing the ports (a feature of ktorrent) but that didnt help. Where would i look for the executable file for Bittorrent? [02:14] someone please. I still can't get kubuntu to boot and would just like some help getting back to bsd.. i know i installed kubuntu over my xp partition.. so how to i get back to my bsd partition [02:14] kitchenrange, 'which bittorrent' ? [02:14] Good day people. If I have a zip file on my desktop and I want it opened and installed, what commands do I enter into the terminal? I think I am missing something. I typed "sudo install bla bla bla" [02:14] <^paradox^> i need a little help syncing my palm z22 with palm os devices [02:14] kitchenrange, from a terminal [02:14] slerder: wow... I'm not sure then... ummm bios... usb latency maybe. I'm not sure. [02:14] <^paradox^> cant get it to find my palm [02:15] Well, actually, I didnt type bla bla bla as such, just the other info.lol [02:15] He-man: awesome name [02:15] Hammerjak: mind if we talk through private messages? [02:15] m0se5: Thanks mate. [02:15] He-man, you can't find this application in the repos? [02:15] kitchenrange, sure, but i'm not sure how much i'll be able to help [02:15] durt: I downloaded it from the Lexmark site, and I have it there, but I dont know where else it would be [02:16] I dont see kernel source anywhere in the package manager wtf [02:16] oh ok, well thanks for trying... would all installed program executables be in /usr/bin? [02:16] He-man, what is it exactly. [02:16] It is a linux driver, namely "lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.rpm.sh.zip" [02:17] durt: Sorry, that was meant for you mate. [02:17] who can test ekiga with me ? [02:17] <^paradox^> anyone need some help with the palm thing? [02:17] dublisk: apt-get install linux-source linux-headers ...second time I said it. [02:17] He-man, ubuntu uses .debs not .rpms rpms are for redhat based distros. try and find a .deb version [02:18] hi i'm trying to compile new 2.6.29 kernel but i cannot find the option to activate my wireless card which is an Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG... if i search for 'iwlwifi' which is the driver i need i find that the option should be in drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi... but i cannot find it! [02:18] i come from china, and will test ekiga with someone else [02:18] where am i wrong [02:18] durt: Ah, thanks mate. Yes, they have a deb version. I'll download that. [02:19] He-man, gdebi is the app that manually installs .debs [02:19] m0se5: couldn't find package linux-source ...second time I said it. [02:19] can anyone please tell me how to remove prelink, with all its settings? [02:19] durt: Okay. Does that mean I open gdebi? Or do I type that command in the terminal? [02:20] He-man: you need something like this; unzip "lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.rpm.sh.zip && sudo apt-get install alien && alien lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.rpm && sudo dpkg -i lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb [02:20] I'm not getting this. I can ssh on LAN quite well. Router forwards a set port to ssh server. Yet "Connection timed out ". What is up?! [02:20] He-man, I think gdebi has a gui frontend [02:21] m0se5: What will that allow me to do? Does it install both? [02:21] He-man, if they have a deb version use that [02:21] He-man, probably just double click on the .deb and put your password in [02:21] dublisk: lol Did you do this command? "sudo apt-get install linux-source ...second time I said it." cause that's funny... Don't execute every command you see... there's a popular one that will render your systen unusable... goes something like this rm -rf /bla [02:21] <^paradox^> need some help synching my palm z22 can anyone assist? [02:21] durt: I will, and thanks. [02:22] m0se5: no, I was making a wise crack [02:22] m0se5, he sid there's a .deb available [02:22] I'm not that supid [02:22] stupid [02:22] said even [02:22] nado: I'm back.

[02:24] jamieleshaw, let's talk in private see if we can solve your problem [02:24] upgrdman: if you don't have anything open on the desktop it's hard to tell that anything happened..

At the moment I've got a temporary one working in the machine so I can use apt-get, wget, etc. My two wired cards are realtek 8139C cards. During boot, there's a message saying the cards are not compatible with the 8139cp driver, and I should try the 8139too drivers.

[02:31] <^paradox^> no its just a usb cable [02:31] anyone? [02:31] coz palm z22 has a button on the cable [02:31] when plugged..open the sync manager then press the button [02:32] should linux-source show up in the software manager? [02:32] dublisk: yes. lol and I'm all about the wise cracks... It's kinda nice to be here again. I've been gone a few years now. === IceLake_ is now known as IceLake [02:33] anyone tried booting ubuntu in USB? [02:33] ok [02:33] its not friggin there [02:33] 5 minutes into ubuntu and I'm already concluding it sucks [02:33] im wondring how can i can back to normal to 8.10 .. yesteday download 9.04 it alot of bugs.. so how can uninstall with 9.04 ??? [02:33] why dublish [02:33] raven10: livecd or installed system? [02:33] uhm..installed system [02:33] I want to install the kernel source, headers etc [02:33] taz: Reinstall 8.10 ;) [02:33] nowhere to be found [02:33] livecd to usb [02:34] through create usb startup system [02:34] create usb startup disk [02:34] raven10: It is possible, but getting the boot loader to always work may be iffy [02:34] taz: there isnt an uninstaller for major upgrades, you have to go back to 8.10 by reinstalling it [02:34] stupendolssteve: how ?? it ready termanial [02:34] coz my BIOS doesnt support USB booting [02:34] and i need help [02:34] really [02:35] dublisk: honestly... sudo apt-get install linux-source linux-headers [02:35] how can I compare two files.. two .py config file.. side by side? does vim have anything to do that? [02:35] raven10: You want to install a system onto the usb? [02:35] yeah...Ubuntu 8.10 to USB [02:35] m0se5: I don't understand whats complicated about what I said [02:35] It doesn't findit [02:35] How ?? sound like formanted ?? [02:35] is anybody running ubuntu on a parallels? [02:35] Stupendo1ssteve: yeah..Ubuntu 8.10 to USB via live CD [02:35] raven10: You'll have to install the bootloader to a hard disk, or install it to a floppy [02:35] "E: Couldn't find package linux-source" [02:36] uhm...where can i get any bootloader? [02:36] shadoblade: do formated ? [02:36] stupendo: are u aware that my BIOS doesnt support USB booting? [02:36] dublisk: me either.. so direct and precisely about one thing too. [02:36] any vbe editor for ubuntu ? [02:36] I have a few security questions about SSH and such. 1) When SSH asks me if I trust the public key, how am I to know whether it is legit? 2) Is logging into my home computer via SSH with my regular account (which uses the root password) a good idea? 3) Are there any major outstanding issues with the default configuration of SSH? [02:36] raven10: Yes you said that, which is why you have to install the bootloader to a hard drive or floppy [02:37] or make an ISO image to a CD [02:37] anyone have any input? [02:37] m0se5: Do you think I'm just making it up that that apt-get is not finding linux-sources? [02:37] raven10: Boot from the livecd, install the system on the usb, there is an option somewhere for Advanced which is where you set up the bootloader path [02:37] run it simulaneously with the USB [02:37] dublisk: A seemingly stupid question but are you pasting that command into a terminal? [02:37] raven10: Yes, or make an iso with the bootloader on it [02:37] linux-source [02:37] yes [02:37] hello [02:37] bootloader path?hmm...where can i exactly locate it [02:37] TwoToneSpirit: Here's my take on it - others may say otherwise [02:38] if a folder is 777 and inside the folder is a file 700 owned by user1. User2 can't delete the folder because of the remaining file, can he ? [02:38] dublisk: I'm not thinking anything about it. I just answered a question. [02:38] "Reading package lists... Done; Building dependency tree ; Reading state information... Done ; E : Couldn't find package linux-source " [02:38] dublisk: +1 internetz to me [02:38] where does the tftp client (from the lan card) goes searching for a file ? and what file ? ( i think this is too a ubuntu question ) [02:38] stupendo1ssteve? [02:38] TwoToneSpirit: 1) Getting that trust message once (per unique PC) is OK, but if get it again later on for a host you've connected to before, that is cause for concern. There is no really good way to verify this key. [02:38] how does one transfer data from hard drive to a virtual machine when using ubuntu? [02:38] anyway i will not reinstall back 8.10 anyway will work on 9.04 anyway [02:39] anyone know about 9.10 ? [02:39] TwoToneSpirit: 2) There is no "root." There are only accounts with root privileges. There is no reason to worry about logging in via SSH with such accounts [02:39] opps 9.04 [02:39] when a new update comes out..never update to that right away...coz it contains bugs for sure [02:39] nascot: are you using vmware? [02:39] raven10: It is an option in the installer, it says where it plans on installing the bootloader, you will have to point it at something else [02:39] raven10: Or use something like super grub disk [02:40] umm im not sure, im on a mac using parallels [02:40] is super grub disk safe? [02:40] will it harm my windows xp? [02:40] TwoToneSpirit: 3) No, but by default *anybody* (in the world if on a public IP) can connect to your box via SSH and try to login. Some people want to restrict SSH to only certain IPs/networks [02:40] k screw this, I'm booting back into suse, ubuntu is shit [02:40] raven10: Possibly, but it shouldn't if you just choose to boot linux [02:40] nascot: you should try a relevant room. this is a support room specific to ubuntu [02:40] hmmm [02:40] have u tried it [02:41] yeah thats what im using. [02:41] nascot: i thought you said you were on a mac [02:41] cpudan80: OK. I think I understand. But, the password that I use to login normally is also the root password, as per the default configuration. Is this smart? It seems like I'd be safer using a different one. [02:41] raven10: I have used it without an issue, but ymmv [02:41] update manger for your system is up to date...i saw it said brasero ... i cant mark. it bit dark.. seem stick with it [02:41] ymmv? [02:41] yes i am but the question isnt about the mac its about ubuntu [02:41] cpudan80: Is it better to just copy the key from my desktop and require that key? [02:41] TwoToneSpirit: There is no "root" -- there is no root password [02:42] raven10: Your Mileage May Vary [02:42] so stupendo1ssteve...are u busy..can u help me [02:42] TwoToneSpirit: Your regular user account just has permissions do do things as root (ie. sudo ....) [02:42] TwoToneSpirit: Theres no reason to worry about logging in with such accounts [02:42] stupendo1ssteve [02:42] TwoToneSpirit: what about this key business ? [02:42] do u have any email? [02:43] I don't generally share it [02:43] aw [02:43] T_T [02:43] coz i really need help [02:43] so just give me advices [02:43] cpudan80: Well, instead of trusting the public key, can't I just copy it from home and then only allow connections with that key? I really don't fully grasp the public key concept. I've read about it, but I don't really understand what I'm being asked when I connect. [02:43] raven10: If you install Ubuntu the normal way on the usb disk, you can use super grub disk to boot Ubuntu when the cd is in the drive [02:44] shadowblade? [02:44] nacsot: Most use Windows networking (or Samba in the Linux world)... What software are you using? Virtualbox? [02:44] TwoToneSpirit: I dont know if you can limit SSH via the key. I dont think you can [02:44] nascot: the problem would be with your vm software then (parallels) - there are a lot of odd workarounds vm software makers have to use for sharing data between the host and vm. for example, when running an ubuntu host with vmware and a windows vm, it treats the host drive as a network drive [02:44] i am on a mac usuing parallels to run ubuntu [02:44] Stupendo1ssteve: so i plug in my USB, and what? [02:44] TwoToneSpirit: there are two keys - a public one and a private one - restricting based on the public key is silly, as anyone can obtain your public key [02:44] raven10: You plug in your usb, you boot an ubuntu live cd, you hit install and choose to install on the usb drive instead of the hard drive [02:44] where how do i check iptables? [02:45] to be sure that port 80 is open? [02:45] restricting based on private key wont work - because the server wont know what the private key is ... [02:45] so i need to give ubuntu access to my network? [02:45] abstrakt: sudo iptables -L [02:45] nascot: your software may have a similar function [02:45] Stupendo1ssteve: im done installing Ubuntu to my USB..now..how to boot it ? [02:45] but its gonna be parallels not ubuntu? [02:45] nascot: correct [02:45] Stupendo1ssteve: how to boot if my BIOS doesnt support USB Booting [02:45] raven10: burn a super grub disk cd, and read http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Howto_Boot_Linux_only [02:46] alright ill give that a try thanks for the help [02:46] nascot: np, good luck [02:46] thanks [02:47] Stupendo1ssteve: uhm..so rate the difficulty of this procedure..be kind */5? [02:47] ok iptables -L says policy ACCEPT for all the things it lists [02:47] I'm trying to set up a router using ubuntu 8.04 server edition and I'm having problems configuring my network cards. At the moment I've got a temporary one working in the machine so I can use apt-get, wget, etc. My two wired cards are realtek 8139C cards. During boot, there's a message saying the cards are not compatible with the 8139cp driver, and I should try the 8139too drivers. I've tried removing the 8139cp module, th [02:47] abstrakt: then you have no firewall [02:48] raven10: Not hard. Burning the cd then to boot. At the option choose what language you want, then choose GNU/Linux and "Boot GNU/Linux" [02:48] Cpudan80, yeah i didn't think so [02:48] Stupendo1ssteve: let me summarize: Install Ubuntu to USB, burn Super Grub Disk to CD, insert both to their respective places and reboot... [02:48] abstrakt: then port 80 is open [02:48] Cpudan80, yeah thought so [02:48] abstrakt: many ISPs block inbound traffic to port 80 [02:48] is there a way to add black bars to cover up information in a PDF file using document viewer and then to print a new pdf with the obscured info? [02:48] Cpudan80, this freakin server doesn't freakin work! [02:48] blahhh! [02:48] raven10: Yep, and then choose to boot Linux. Do not choose to fix Grub [02:48] In fact - if your ISP (residential) is worth a damn, they'll block port 80 abstrakt [02:49] They should also be blocking 25 too [02:49] (sendmail) [02:49] Stupendo1ssteve: after choosing language, choose GNU/Linux [02:49] err smtp [02:49] Cpudan80, i'm quite well aware of that this isn't a residential server [02:49] Anyone here mind helping me with a sound issue? [02:49] Cpudan80, or connection, it's a dedicated from slicehost [02:49] abstrakt: oh ... well that's a different story [02:49] raven10: Yes, and then there is an option for Boot Linux, or something like that [02:50] Stupendo1ssteve: Is it Boot GNU/Linux or GNU/Linux Directly [02:50] abstrakt: so even if you go to http://yourIPHere - it fails? [02:50] that's why i'm pissed [02:50] Cpudan80, completely correct [02:50] abstrakt: and you're using a LAMP I assume? [02:50] raven10: Just GNU/Linux, you're going to point it at the grub that ubuntu installed on the usb drive [02:50] (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) [02:50] Cpudan80, yup, Ubuntu 8.04 Apache 2.2 [02:50] does anyone know how to fix this nohz local_softirq_pending 100 error? i get it everytime i want to wake my system after suspend it [02:50] abstrakt: and is Apache running? [02:50] Cpudan80, yes [02:50] apache is running [02:50] Stupendo1ssteve: After that..if all goes okay, it will boot to Ubuntu already? [02:50] raven10: It should [02:51] abstrakt: ok ... if you do telnet localhost 80 from your SSH to the box, what happens? [02:51] i've run /etc/init.d/apache reload i don't know how many times now [02:51] Cpudan80, lemme find out [02:51] abstrakt: or from your terminal or whatever === rachel is now known as Guest24057 [02:51] Stupendo1ssteve: uhm..is this 100% safe?it wont screw up my old windows xp os? [02:51] raven10: Booting it yes, if you tell it to fix the mbr or any of that then maybe not [02:52] raven10: If you do mess up windows, Super Grub Disk can fix it [02:52] raven10: if you mess up the windows MBR real bad, you can always pop in an XP CD and restore it [02:52] its not the end of the world [02:52] Or that ^ [02:52] oh..so..u said u've tried this one..so your BIOS doesnt support USB booting/ [02:53] most dont [02:53] Mine does, but I have used it to boot on some odd setups [02:53] that arent very new anyway [02:53] Stupendo1ssteve: oh ok..uhm..i cant seem to find the right link to download super grub disk [02:53] Cpudan80, well when i use PuTTY to Telnet to port 80 on the host, i get a completely black/blank screen and then a dialog box saying "Connection closed by remote host" [02:53] raven10: One sec..,. [02:53] abstrakt: then it worked [02:53] abstrakt: pm me [02:53] abstrakt: that tells you your apache is working. otherwise the connection would have been refused. [02:53] Stupendo1ssteve: i will burn it in a CD..ok/ [02:54] or well you dont have to pm me I guess [02:54] raven10: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/index.php?pid=5 [02:54] You can use a floppy instead if you have one [02:54] Cpudan80: good.. cause I'm listening [02:54] it's really a tiny file [02:54] abstrakt: so basically, apache gave you a tunnel long enough to send some formed HTML requests, you didnt send it after the default timeout of a few seconds, so it killed your pipe [02:54] It did exactly what it was supposed to do [02:55] m0se5: ? [02:55] Stupendo1ssteve: uhm..ok then...is it an ISO file? [02:55] raven10: The one at the link I sent you is an iso, that is made for cd [02:55] raven10: If you wanted to use floppy the link is on the right of the page [02:56] oh ok..thank you so much sir!

[02:57] abstrakt: when I do telnet [yourIP] 80 - I get connection refused [02:58] Cpudan80, yeah i got that too [02:58] abstrakt: that tells me that your apache is not accepting connections from outside IPs [02:58] bonez46: I have a bias but I think Linux is more fun if he actually wants to learn how to *use* a computer. [02:58] akgraner: it's tough when they get games and stuff from the video store or library, which require windows to play [02:58] abstrakt: but telnet localhost 80 --- that worked? [02:58] bonez46: he's probably trying to get you to the first step of a gaming machine :)... introduce him to linux games.. [02:58] Cpudan80, no [02:58] abstrakt: you just said it did ... [02:58] uh no [02:59] i can scroll up and find exactly what i said [02:59] or i can say it again... [02:59] Cpudan80, well when i use PuTTY to Telnet to port 80 on the host, i get a completely black/blank screen and then a dialog box saying "Connection closed by remote host" [02:59] abstrakt: ^ That mean it worked [02:59] scunizi: does that mean I need to build a new machine.. and stuff it with an expensive video card.. and such, so that it will cook and perform well? [02:59] Connection refused means it failed [02:59] Cpudan80, right, well i get two dialog boxes sorry [02:59] the second one says connection refused [02:59] the first one says closed by remote host [02:59] how are you using putty on linux ? [03:00] bonez46: only if you're going to put windows on it.. the latest games for that platform eat as much resources as Vista [03:00] where are wine files kept, and where are firefox files kept. [03:00] oh I guess it has a unix binary [03:00] bonez46: we haven't ever really used the computers for gaming...so I can't speak to that..and since we have had kids they only used Windows at school other than that it's been a Mac...or my husband's Linux machines... [03:00] anyone? [03:00] bonez46: linux games will probably work fine on what you have now. [03:00] abstrakt: at your terminal for your server - type telnet localhost 80 at the prompt - see what happens [03:00] scunizi: that's my point.. I don't want them getting used to having to have a really fast. processor.. the latest.. ever on the treadmill, of upgrading and such [03:00] coreyman, if your talking about per user files they're hidden in your own dir. [03:01] Cpudan80, k [03:01] one sec [03:01] durt thx [03:01] bonez46: I agree with you.. it's a never ending cycle. [03:01] Cpudan80, blah, telnet command not found... is that easily remedied with apt-get install telnet [03:01] ? [03:01] yeah === john is now known as Guest64721 [03:01] hello, i just bult a new htpc. the mobo has hdmi out and using a nvidia 8200 integrated. i have the nvidia driver installed and working, but I want to change the res to 1366x768... but cannot see that particualr resolution anywhere... i do get 1200x700 and 1920x1080 [03:02] Cpudan80, "telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused" [03:02] My dmesg has two lines like this whenever I reboot: "[ 26.412219] 0000:00:1a.7 EHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug ?) 01010001" -- they take 8 seconds each.

Being accounting s/w, it's probably closed source. Being Vista, it'll be slow in VMWare. You may need to just bite the bullet and put up with it, or else try a pencil and paper. [03:21] ? [03:21] EtFb: I hate microsoft [03:21] Stupendoussteve: I tired this... sftp://ip.com ... but I cant get throught... [03:21] can any one help please? [03:21] harpreet: But Microsoft loves you!

[03:25] scunizi: lsmod, look for nvidia [03:25] Stupendoussteve: i tried SSH..and the drive got mounted... but when I click on it, it simply states as *Loading*... :S [03:25] Does gparted let you resize your windows partition, and move that unallocated space into /home? [03:26] tymithe: Short plan of attack: Find out the exact model of sound hardware. Google for that along with keywords like "sound" and "Ubuntu". Follow instructions. Realise they don [03:26] scunizi: And look in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log, grep for nvidia and make sure X is using the nvidia driver [03:26] ? [03:26] tymithe: ... Realise they don't work. Repeat ad infinitum. [03:26] Ububegin: Hmm. Well that's how it should mount :x [03:26] Stupendoussteve: got it.. it's there.. weirdness lately. I try to load a game like Alien Arena and it screws up the resolution and doesn't load.. then I have to restart the gdm.. [03:26] who does LVM recoveries? [03:26] Stupendoussteve: what is port number to use [03:27] for SSH [03:27] Ububegin: 22 [03:27] when I open a windows I cannot see the Minimize, Maximize and the close button on the top right side [03:27] etzerd: Does the frame show up? do you use compiz? [03:27] has anyone tried gnucash [03:27] etzerd: are the buttons hidden under the panel? [03:27] EtFB : I'm not a moron, I have been doing this all day long man, I looked up my MOBO ( ASUS MSN-E SLI It runs C-Media HD Chip) and still couldnt find info on it. [03:27] Yes the frame show up [03:27] harpreet: Yes, got a question? [03:28] tymithe: Tried looking for the exact output from lspci? [03:28] Rabbitbunny: how different is it than simply accounting for windows? [03:28] just move the panel and drag out the window. It should pop into place [03:28] but with minize or maximize button [03:28] Stup : no how? [03:28] threw term.. [03:28] ? [03:28] lu6cifer: You can hold alt and drag a window [03:28] yea [03:28] Stupendoussteve: grepping the log file shows the nvidia driver is installed.. I can't activate compiz either.. with previously I have been able to. I wonder if one of the latest updates broke my nvidia driver install.. (I got it directly from nvidia..) [03:29] that works as well [03:29] harpreet: Ah, never used simply accounting. However, if you look at the screenshots and maybe read the wikipedia on double entry accounting, you should get a pretty good idea. Overall it's ont of the programs I use most. [03:29] I don used compiz [03:29] scunizi: Ah, it wouldn't surprise me [03:29] etzerd: Ouch, I'm sorry then, I don't have the faintest what could be causing your problem, sorry. [03:29] you cannot install other OS like windows XP when you already installed ubuntu right?? [03:30] c0l2e: Yes you can, It's called 'dual-booting'.

I can't load any of my standard games.. looks like it's off to nvidia for the latest :) === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [03:30] c0l2e: not on the same partition [03:30] coz I got partitions like /boot / and /home [03:30] c0l2e: yes, you cam [03:30] c0l2e: but on a different partition / HDD ... you can [03:30] c0l2e: You may have to do some repartitioning but it's quite doable [03:30] c0l2e: install those ontop of ubuntu [03:30] but i already got 4 partitions [03:30] c0l2e: and you'll probably have to reinstall grub [03:30] c0l2e: XP will break your ubuntu bootloader [03:30] 1 for /home, 1 for /boot, 1 for swap and last for / [03:30] Rabbitbunny: :S ... still laoding .... [03:31] I wonder if XP counts partitions it cant read [03:31] when I tried to install windows XP.. there's a partition problem [03:31] in the 4 partition limit... [03:31] Ububegin: does the other box have SSH? can you ping it? [03:31] oh well if it gives an error than that answers that question [03:31] c0l2e: so merge some of them [03:31] Cpudan80: hmm [03:32] Cpudan80: what is the allow max partition that windows XP can install? === Jerky is now known as Jerky1 [03:32] Hello all. [03:32] I think 4 - ##windows would know for sure [03:32] Cpudan80: The 4 primary partition limit is bios, not imposed by windows [03:32] if i made it to 3 partition and the ntfs for XP is the port can it be installed? === Royall_ is now known as Royall [03:32] Could someone help me here? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6994058 [03:32] Stupendoussteve: really?

I was using the restricted 177 drivers and then tried to install the 180.22 drivers and they bonked my video (could only get into a command prompt). After lots and lots of work I got my system to accept the 180.11 drivers, but I can not get it past "low graphics mode". Any help would be appreciated. [03:37] <[MindVirus]> You scared me for a second. :) [03:37] Rabbitbunny: OK. At least I know where I stand now. [03:38] Stupendoussteve: it was definitely the driver.. by updating from the .28 driver to the .44 driver I also notice a considerable increase in the screen writes.. pleasant install. [03:38] I got X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) [03:38] error with vlc and totem ? [03:38] pumpkinseed: honestly, its probly better to roll back to the 177 drivers, i didn't try to fight it with my 9800gx2, i had the same problem as you [03:38] Anon: Out of curiosity, what made you think one was in there? [03:38] But for some reason, nexuiz won't launch at all. I suspect it's a graphics problem. Here's the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/141072/ [03:38] is the person who talked with me about my troubles getting a boot floppy for my box in here still? [03:38] Can someone please help me with VPN to windows 2003 server from ubuntu? [03:38] we were talking over IM [03:38] Rabbitbunny: Just an unfounded assumption. [03:38] musikgoar|main: could you help me with the rollback [03:39] musikgoar|main: i need to make sure all remnants of the newer drivers are removed, etc. [03:39] pumpkinseed: go into low-graphics mode, login, go to system -> admin -> hardware drivers [03:39] pumpkinseed: you can, after you load the 177 drivers [03:39] Anon: The reason that game won't run is that your card doesn't support that resolution, find how to change that. [03:39] pumpkinseed: then you can apt-get purge the 180 drivers if you want [03:40] Rabbitbunny: I kid you not, but it worked until Monday. [03:40] Rabbitbunny: thanks.. just got gftp... its sweet... [03:40] Rabbitbunny: Could I be missing some drivers? [03:41] Is there a linux command to find the block size of a filesystem? [03:41] Ububegin: Try filezilla. [03:42] Anon: Does glxgears run? [03:42] hola regrese [03:42] musikgoat|main: I just loaded up the 180.44 drivers and they are working excellent.. one of the issues installing them is you have to use synaptic and uninstall all nvidia references listed.. then install the new drivers from a tty with the gui stopped.. [03:42] hi all - trying to open a graphical app directly from a terminal session using xinit, but sound doesn't seem to be working properly. anyone know off hand how I would start up alsa and/or pulse? [03:42] Stupendoussteve: Nope. 'Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [03:42] Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual' [03:42] Stupendo1ssteve: hey..i tried SGD..but it says Error 15: File doesn't exist... when i choose GNU/Linux [03:42] Anon: Your hardware acceleration is broken [03:43] scunizi: hmm, i didn't attempt that [03:43] Stupendoussteve: How could I fix it? [03:43] musikgoat|main: that is unless you're getting the 180 drivers from midibuntu. In which case you are installing older drivers that might have issues. [03:43] musikgoar|main: nothing in hardware devices except the 180 drivers [03:44] musikgoar|main: hardware "drivers" rather [03:44] Stupendo1ssteve: .......hey..i tried SGD..but it says Error 15: File doesn't exist... when i choose GNU/Linux [03:44] Anon: This forum thread may help... http://tinyurl.com/crgcjb [03:44] musikgoat|main: I guess if you're running intrepid you have access to the 180 driver directly from apt-get or synaptic.. no need to install from the terminal.. however if you get the latest drivers direct from nvidia you do. [03:45] raven10: Look through the SBM docs and see if you need to supply an argument. I believe you need to tell it the partition [03:45] scunizi: i do have the medibuntu repo in my sources [03:45] Stupendoussteve: I'll take a look, thanks. [03:45] pumpkinseed: hmm, i'm not sure why the 177's wouldn't show in your hardware drivers list [03:46] musikgoat|main: the 180 drivers in the repos are version 180.11.. those weren't very good.. the latest version is 180.44 and is only available from nvidia. [03:46] Stupendo1ssteve: SBM?hmm..weh..the only drives and partitions that i can see is my System recovery (hd0,0) and Windows XP Os (hd0,1) [03:46] #buntu [03:46] scunizi: is there still the issue that you have to reconfigure the drivers after every kernel update? [03:46] musikgoat|main: what kind of card do you have.. nvidia obviously but which one. Yes you have to reinstall the drivers after every kernel update [03:47] 9800gx2 [03:47] musikgoat|main: yea.. I'd go directly to nvidia for that card.. you'll notice a big difference.. [03:47] Stupendoussteve: Restarting X. [03:47] scunizi: thanks for the suggestion [03:48] musikgoat|main: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_180.44.html [03:48] i would need the 64 bit drivers, but i can find the link [03:49] Hello all. [03:49] Stupendoussteve: X is working. I'll check what glxgears does now. [03:49] Nope, still broken. I'll keep reading. [03:49] musikgoat|main: amd or intel? [03:49] amd [03:50] musikgoat|main: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html you'll see them on this page with the link [03:50] thanks scunizi [03:50] is there a repair utility for OpenOffice docs? [03:51] Stupendoussteve: I'm reconfiguring x. [03:51] musikgoat|main: although they say they are for redhat.. go figure.. maybe it's just a 64 bit thing [03:51] jeeves: what do you mean by repair? [03:51] scunizi: i'm not seeing it here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_180.44.html [03:51] musikgoat|main: actually the amd version is ok.. it's the intel one that mentions only redhat [03:52] hmm, eh [03:52] musikgoat|main: look at step 2.. right mouse click the link and save to the desktoop [03:52] desktop [03:52] kitche, when I try to open the file, I get a "general error" pop up [03:52] http://i43.tinypic.com/m9c903.png [03:52] Maybe we should have some sort of, you know, cap [03:52] hi, my CPU is overheating when I'm doing hard work. How can I get thermal info about cores? I can't get /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_point [03:52] musikgoat|main: it's towards the bottom of the page [03:52] jeeves: hmm not sure never seen a general error with openoffice [03:52] And when the estimated time reaches that, change to 'Forever' [03:53] Restarting X.

[03:57] Stupendoussteve: I realize, i'm trying to clear an apps cache heh [03:57] Leemp, it is not recommended to delete temp folder, the system uses it content i dont no for what.. [03:58] k [03:58] musikgoat|main: I've written instructions to install the driver if you want them [03:58] Stupendoussteve: I'm at the end of the thread, and the OP's issue isn't resolved. I'll try adding one last thing to xorg though. [03:58] yeah, thanks scunizi, i'm good [03:58] musikgoat|main: check out http://pastebin.com/m65ddab29 [03:58] i'm not trying to update them currently [03:58] but i'll keep the link [03:58] Restarting X once again.

[04:00] Hello... I went to the synaptec package manager and removed all Nvidia 180 drivers and then installed the corresponding 177 drivers. I restarted and got into Ubuntu, but I can't get my screen resolution better than 800x600. Also, NVIDIA X Server Settings says I "don't appear to be using the NVIDAI X driver" [04:00] harpreet: :P [04:00] Anyone know how to get this working? [04:00] what is up with the ubuntu kernel modules breaking nvidia?! [04:00] phuz get what working? [04:00] wolter: getlibs: Automatically solves dependencies for 32-bit programs on 64-bit [04:00] is there a correct way to keep a script running? it should never exit but if it does I need it to start back up [04:00] FAJ: No spamming in here.

Help would be greatly appreciated [04:01] Anon: just looking for an answer. [04:01] answer please...can i merge 2 partitions with GPARted? [04:01] FAJ: Spam doesn't speed it. [04:01] FAJ: Have not seen that happen. Reinstall nvidia drivers? They are often built against the current kernel and sometimes get broken [04:01] Stupendoussteve: Any other ideas? [04:01] phuz what operating system was installed first and what was installed 2nd? [04:01] How do I find a folder I have made, I forgot where it is stored. [04:02] coreyman: open a terminal [04:02] coreyman: sudo updatedb; locate [04:02] Stupendoussteve: hmmm...... b/c it was weird b/c what happened was the kernel for current hardy worked fine; updates, broke internet, installed linux-ubuntu-modules and headers. broke it. [04:02] Anon: Can't think of one, look around for your error there are other pages with the same error [04:02] harpreet, Ubuntu first, Win 7 second, and I am back into the Ubuntu livecd [04:02] coreyman: cd / && find -name foldernamehere -type d [04:02] Stupendoussteve: Alright.

Help would be greatly appreciated... I have a GeForce 8800 GTX. [04:03] _Purple_, I beg to differ. I know what I'm doing, and Ubuntu is still there. [04:04] phuz: Reinstalling grub? [04:04] Yes [04:04] And I can't seem to get it to work. [04:04] Does ubuntu do some gui or something to do it? [04:04] Stupendoussteve: I get no results on the forums for 'Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [04:04] Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual' [04:05] phuz: you have to change the order of operating system [04:05] Does anyone remember the name of that server administration program that runs on a web server?

[04:05] harpreet, That would be awesome, and totally work exactly the way I wanted if I could get grub back into my MBR [04:05] Stupendoussteve: ah! that's the one I was thinking of, thanks! [04:05] pumpkinseed, same way you would for 32bit [04:05] Anon: Stupendoussteve: has this been prevalent with the latest kernel stuffs? [04:05] !nvidia | pumpkinseed [04:05] pumpkinseed: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:05] FAJ: I don't have an nvidia card so I don't know. [04:06] Anon ok [04:06] phuz: because now grub is looking for primary OS which used to be ubuntu and as you know when windows are installed, windows can only be installed on primary disk [04:06] phuz: How are you trying to reinstall it? I only do it manually via chroot and command line [04:06] pumpkinseed, use driver in module-assistant [04:06] phuz -> you're on livecd now? try sudo -i then grub [04:06] harpreet: This is completely untrue [04:06] Stupendoussteve: prove [04:06] harpreet: Grub uses a config file on a partition which it is told when installed to the mbr [04:06] phuz -> then try find /boot/grub/stage1 [04:06] pumpkinseed, apt-get install module-assistant && m-a update && m-a prepare && m-a (enter in menu and select and ADD nvidia-driver) [04:07] Stupendoussteve: i tried installing nvidia drivers; no luck. [04:07] harpreet: As long as it can find (hd0,0) for example and find the config file, it can be told to boot anything [04:07] Stupendoussteve: but windows probably have taken over hd0,0 on mbr [04:08] harpreet: No. hd0,0 is the first partition on the drive, windows does not reorder the partitions [04:09] Stupendoussteve: there's nothing on the forums.

[04:12] the thing is I have the 177 drivers installed but they don't seem to be working --- can't go over 800x600 and NVIDIA X Server settings says 'i don't appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver" [04:12] Stupendoussteve: Is there anything for me to do? [04:12] probably alpha [04:12] the10nitro: mv doesn't update timestamps.

[04:14] <[MindVirus]> What is that even supposed to mean? [04:14] how do i give everyone samba permissions? [04:14] the10nitro: If you cp them it will... if you mv them it won't [04:14] Stupendoussteve: i remember there is a gui utility in ubuntu which lets you back up grub, copy to mbr etc., i forgot the name [04:15] Hello all. [04:15] Oops. [04:15] harpreet: I just do it manually the Gentoo Handbook way :D [04:15] Anon hello [04:15] [MindVirus]: After Z in the hard drives? After hdz?

[04:15] aa' [04:16] aa [04:16] [MindVirus]: It rolls back over to A [04:16] <[MindVirus]> But my original question is what goes after Z in Ubuntu's naming scheme?

[04:17] [MindVirus]: Drives go to /dev/hdaa after hdz [04:17] <[MindVirus]> OK. [04:17] <[MindVirus]> It's a silly naming scheme. [04:17] <[MindVirus]> I believe it should be more like GRUB's naming scheme. [04:17] <[MindVirus]> hd0,0 for example. [04:18] [MindVirus]: I suspect that there would be no need to make new versions after that :P [04:18] <[MindVirus]> Anon, :) [04:18] how would I go about installing the 180.44 nvidia driver (binary) from the NVIDIA website?

I tried to modprobe ndiswrapper, but it said that it wasn't possible, FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.

Right now I don't have it connected to the router, I've just been trying to connect it to the cable modem. When I did connect it to the router it connected to the LAN but still wasn't getting Internet [04:59] uberNoob: that's 550, so 'sudo chown user:group file' then 'chmod 550 file' should do you.

[05:01] Rabbitbunny: Well, my sister bought it for school, so I would not be surprised if it isn't possible to get a worse card. [05:01] Rabbitbunny: yeah, it's really strange it's not changing the file permissions at all. I have tried pretty much everything, combo i can think of [05:01] Alright, well, it's a netsplit, when two IRC servers disconnect. There'll be a little bit of join/part noise for a bit until it settles down. [05:01] Rabbitbunny: I usually get 30 fps in nexuiz. [05:02] <^paradox^> ah so thats it [05:02] I am an important person; I have many leather bound books.

[05:03] Rabbitbunny: thanks for your help. i have to see what the hell is wrong with this [05:03] millertimek1a2m3: try to reinstall it ? [05:03] Does anyone know how to determine a filesystems block size from the file system itself? Is this information stored in the superblock? [05:03] dasei: i did... [05:04] Hi I am really having an interesting issue with my computer. What is happening is that it went through a kernel update, and asked to restart, so I restarted, and I didn't have internet. I tried to modprobe ndiswrapper, but it said that it wasn't possible, FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found. So I went to another kernel, and installed linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-24-generic, linux-headers-2.6.24-24-generic and linux-ubuntu-modul [05:04] FAJALOU: Did you try reinstalling ndiswrapper? [05:04] millertimek1a2m3: #rhythmbox on irc.gnome.org [05:05] JoeLinux117: yup, no avail. [05:05] millertimek1a2m3: no idea then, I use amarok, maybe search synaptic for missing lib ? [05:05] Anon! thanx! [05:05] FAJALOU: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [05:05] JoeLinux117: 8.04.2 [05:05] millertimek1a2m3: :) [05:05] I'm messing around with crontab and was wondering if there is anyway to 'automatically' add a cron command to the crontab? Whenever I use crontab -e not only does it insist on using an editor (like nano) but it seems to open a randomly named file from /tmp/crontab./crontab [05:05] JoeLinux117: it has something to do with the new kernel updates; because i am using ndiswrapper right now just fine. [05:05] FAJALOU: Do you still have the firmware file for ndiswrapper? [05:05] DasEi well i liked amarok, but i wanted any alternative player to have at least all the same funcitons as rhythmbox [05:05] Anon: does glxgears work? [05:06] No. [05:06] Anyone having an issue viewing kde-look.org or gnome-look.org? I was just able to browse both sites about an hour ago... and now I can't o.O; [05:06] If I ping... it times out. [05:06] JoeLinux117: it has something to do with the new kernel updates; because i am using ndiswrapper right now just fine. [05:06] Rabbitbunny: "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [05:06] Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual [05:06] " [05:06] Hi, How can I strip my install down to the minimum? [05:06] !mp3 | millertimek1a2m3: [05:06] Is there a quick way to go from full desktop to nothing [05:06] JoeLinux117: same computer; older kernel, working fine. [05:06] FAJALOU: What kernel version are you running right now... that it works? [05:06] Anon: you have it commented out in your xorg [05:06] illmortal, I can view both just fine [05:06] 2.6.24-23-generica [05:06] geez >.< [05:06] *generic [05:06] Rabbitbunny: what do I uncomment? [05:07] ? [05:07] JoeLinux117: 2.6.24-23-generic. *-24-generic is what is messing up. [05:07] Please [05:07] ugh.. ok voxel [05:07] Anon: try uncommenting the lin "load 'dri'" [05:07] Alex_21: Do you need a gui? [05:07] No [05:07] I plan to install Fluxbox [05:07] Hi, I need to find a good player for hdtv that is comparable to windows medua player, that can upcode a digital sd cd into an HD 1080i. Anyone have suggestions? [05:07] Reinstalling isn't an issue [05:07] Then you need a gui. [05:07] Alex_21: easiest way to set up a minimal system from beginning, else genreate a packetlist and sort out [05:07] I mean an option. [05:07] DasEi: do you know how to get it to respond to my shortcut keys? if it can do that i will just use it [05:08] ! minimal | Alex_21 [05:08] but i think it would be much more professional to fix it [05:08] Alex_21: To remove your gui and get stuck with a command line prompt, do sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop [05:08] but THAT IS DANGEROUS [05:08] i would autoremove [05:08] JoeLinux117: any thoughts? [05:08] I did that and there is still packages left [05:08] Anon: how do i get to irc.gnome.net [05:08] Im having a problem with apache starting before the network interfaces have been bought up.. [05:08] Alex_21: apt-get autoremove [05:08] or irc.gimp.net [05:08] sudo apt-get autoremove [05:09] FAJALOU: I hate to be of little help, but I just found this with some searching: http://slackblogs.blogspot.com/2008/03/ndiswrapper-might-be-broken-on-2624.html [05:09] JoeLinux117: i am running ndiswrapper on another machine with *-24-generic and it's working... [05:09] Alex_21: autoremove gets rid of unused dependancies [05:09] FAJALOU: Oh, so it's just your machine, then? [05:09] however rc2.d lists NetworkManager before apache2, so im stumped why this is so [05:10] JoeLinux117: well i dunno.... i will uname -r to be safe on the other machine... but i think it has to do with linux-ubuntu-modules ... [05:10] Alex_21: the infobot is offline ; use the minimal-netinstall cd, don't choose any soft, so you'll get to a root prompt, then carefully select after your needs [05:10] !minimal [05:11] !ubottu in bermuda [05:11] hmm, first time for everything [05:11] anyone experience mod_rewrite not working with apache with a fresh stock install? [05:11] JoeLinux117: yah my other maching is running *-24-generic with ndiswrapper fine... [05:12] FAJALOU: What version of ndiswrapper is on that machine? [05:12] JoeLinux117: 1.52 [05:12] JoeLinux117: utils version 1.9 [05:12] FAJALOU: And on yours? [05:13] JoeLinux117: same. [05:13] millertimek1a2m3: go http://live.gnome.org/GnomeIrcChannels and select a channel [05:13] from there do /join #rhythmbox [05:13] FAJALOU: Type "dmesg | grep ndis", or "dmesg | grep microcode", and see what you get. [05:13] Restarting X. [05:13] FAJALOU: Just keep in mind not to paste it here. [05:14] !pastebin | FAJALOU [05:14] JoeLinux117: on which machine? [05:14] !pasteb| FAJALOU [05:14] !paste | FAJALOU [05:14] i know anon [05:14] Is ubuntubot up? [05:14] FAJALOU: On yours. [05:14] FAJALOU: The one that doesn't work, I should say. [05:15] JoeLinux117: right now i am using an old kernel; i am on the machine with the 'bad' kernel.. [05:15] FAJALOU: You know what, actually that won't work unless you're in the kernel that doesn't work [05:15] FAJALOU: Yea, I realized that. [05:15] I still have config files all over my system [05:15] FAJALOU: lol [05:15] JoeLinux117: all good :) [05:15] sureshvraghav, hii this is saga welcome to ubuntu [05:15] Hello all. [05:15] JoeLinux117: lol [05:15] glxgears doesn't work after uncommenting. [05:15] I want to thank everyone here for helping me with my NVIDIA display problem! I got it fixed due to your help. The NVIDIAManual link showed me how to difinitively uninstall my previous drivers. After I did that, I made sure my xorg.conf file was reverted to 'vesa'. I restarted and then proceeded to install the 180.11 drivers from Synaptec. After Restarting again everything was working! Thanks!!!!!! [05:15] FAJALOU: I just want to check to see if you're getting errors back from the kernel about the microcode or anything. [05:16] They are taking up space. How can I clean them out to get what I'd nomally have in a net install [05:16] nice, pumpkinseed [05:16] JoeLinux117: do you think that if i install linux-ubuntu-restricted-modules for the newest 'bad' kernel, it will bork me if i go to the new kernel? [05:16] how do I tell which version of ATA my computer's IDE controller supports? [05:16] FAJALOU: Also, if you "ndiswrapper -i " while using the new kernel, if maybe it will give you an error. [05:16] :) [05:16] THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE!!!! [05:16] I need the help. ? [05:16] Please [05:17] Alex_21: You can do apt-get remove gnome-* [05:17] DANGER [05:17] I completely want to clean everything off this box [05:17] JoeLinux117: b/c the only thing that is happening right now is that the inet isn't working, but last time, when I installed linux-ubuntu.... it messed with my screen res/nvidia. [05:17] FAJALOU: Well, it shouldn't mess anything up, because if you boot an older kernel that's still installed, then it should already have the modules for that version on your system. [05:17] Alex_21: And just leave a ubuntu install? [05:17] Alex_21: the infobot is offline ; use the minimal-netinstall cd, don't choose any soft, so you'll get to a root prompt, then carefully select after your needs [05:17] JoeLinux117: should i try that? [05:18] FAJALOU: If you really want to use your new kernel... ;) [05:18] window 1 [05:18] Rabbitbunny: Any ideas? [05:18] I can't reinstall [05:19] hey so if I have a SATA drive and I want to put it in a computer without a SATA motherboard, should I buy an external enclosure, a RAID controller, a bridge chip, or something else? [05:19] Ok, I just want a cli system [05:19] Hey guys, anyone can go here http://www.johnsrevenge.com/?id=2d34e5e07110724e906a5366a78ca33d this is not virus or anything =) kind of interesting. ;) [05:19] Alex_21: Did you do apt-get purge gnome-* [05:19] FAJALOU: If I remember correctly, 8.10 was pretty good with installing things like ndiswrapper automatically for you. [05:19] thimothy8: Please keep your links on topic and work safe. [05:19] JoeLinux117: i am on 8.04 ;) I didn't like 8.10 [05:19] It is work safe :-> [05:19] Get a Sata PCI card [05:19] I think [05:20] Screw you, thimothy8 [05:20] E: Package linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-24-generic has no installation candidate [05:20] Alex_21: generate a paketlist, do it handy, if you're mean on it or uninstall ubuntu-desktop, for a quick n easy solution [05:20] Ok [05:20] Trying that [05:20] does anyone know where the user crontab is stored? I've added an entry using crontab -e, but I don't see any sign of a user crontab in /etc/crontab, /etc/cron.d [05:21] thimothy8: I hope you are attacked by rabid locusts. [05:21] Alex_21: sudo apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-desktop [05:21] DasEi: Already done. [05:21] DasEi: He's purging gnome now. [05:21] XD [05:21] FAJALOU: Hmm... can you try booting into your new kernel, and doing "sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic"? That should automatically install the version for your kernel. [05:21] :) [05:22] Is that all I need to do? [05:22] Well, that does a lot. [05:22] JoeLinux117: that is alreayd installed. [05:22] FAJALOU: Of course, you'll need to plug in directly via Ethernet, since you don't have your wireless available. [05:22] You can start systematically removing any applications in the applications menu. [05:22] Alex_21: have a second machine for irc ? [05:22] could it be because linux-ubuntu.... is proposedd.... [05:22] ? [05:22] Anyone know if apt-get purge * would be safe? [05:22] <[MindVirus]> Where can I download the Intrepid wallpaper? [05:22] Yes, I have a Mac for IRC [05:23] Alex_21: It might be better to wipe your partition and just reinstall ubuntu. [05:23] Probably faster. [05:23] FAJALOU: Well, if you have the "proposed" repository enabled, you should still be able to install it. [05:23] APRIL FUCKING FOOLS! [05:23] hey all [05:23] Heh, screwed. [05:23] 2nd night in a row...gez [05:23] The problem here is that the Disk has two other OSs partitions on it [05:23] JoeLinux117: i just reienabled the proposed. [05:23] FAJALOU: Also, please begin comments to me with my name, that way this thing notifies me that I have a message. [05:24] <[MindVirus]> Where can I download the Intrepid wallpaper? [05:24] FAJALOU: Ok cool. Try installing it again. [05:24] Alex_21: Try wiping the unix partition from another partition, maybe? [05:24] [MindVirus]: try google. [05:24] And I can't see so I'm doing it all without being able to use the partitioner on the CD [05:24] <[MindVirus]> Anon, I did! [05:24] JoeLinux117: ok done, now to reboot into new kernel.... one sec. [05:24] is this the same room for ubuntu server support? [05:24] Alex_21:so backup config files, mbr and use alternate installer [05:24] Will an Intel 82371AB/EB/MB support a 1TB drive, or is it limited to 130GB? [05:24] Alex_21: What do you mean can't see? [05:24] FAJALOU: k [05:25] I'm blind [05:25] I used the Alternate CD, but I couldn't find the command-line option [05:25] i have a question .. i have my girlfriend messing up everything coz shes not so computer savy ... if i log out of my account it stops all my downloads .. how do i log out let her have her own account .. and all my downloads etc would run fine [05:25] It was on PPC [05:25] [MindVirus]: http://www.flickr.com/photos/27048731@N03/sets/72157608532742966/ [05:25] cellofellow: old chipset, google intel for that, also depends on bios, wrong place here, #hardware [05:25] ok [05:25] JoeLinux117: starting up new kernel *crosses fingers..* [05:26] <[MindVirus]> Anon, ... None of those have the default theme. [05:26] Are you looking for theme or wallpaper? [05:26] <[MindVirus]> Wallpaper. [05:26] ? [05:26] FAJ: Ok, let's hope for something. We can also check "dmesg" to see if it spit out anything of interest. [05:26] <[MindVirus]> Sorry. [05:26] vegombrei: add a user account for her, own /home and permissions [05:27] JoeLinux117: ok what it is doing is it's now going into low res. mode.. HAS to have to do with that linux-ubuntu.... [05:27] FAJ: Also, you can type "locate ndiswrapper.ko", and see if that module is in the directory for your new kernel. [05:27] vegombrei: Create a new user account, you log in as 1, or whatever, she logs in as (her name) . [05:28] [MindVirus]: you can go to http://www.gnome-look.org/ [05:28] <[MindVirus]> I tried. [05:28] FAJ: Are you good on the command-line? I would say don't even bother with the graphics for right now, that way you can just focus on getting ndiswrapper working first. [05:28] <[MindVirus]> I can't find it. [05:28] JoeLinux117: ok internet is working GREAT. now just get resolution off of 800x600... [05:28] vegombrei: Ubuntu has separate accounts , just make hers a little limited. [05:28] [MindVirus]: Can't find it either. Wait till intrepid? :P [05:28] FAJ: Ok nevermind... On to stage 2. [05:28] FAJ: lol [05:29] JoeLinux117: righto lol [05:29] [MindVirus]: What are you running now? [05:29] <[MindVirus]> Huh? [05:29] <[MindVirus]> Jaunty.

[05:30] I suppose no more help for me will be had today. See you all tomorrow. [05:30] JoeLinux117: when i have linux-ubuntu... hehe failsafe termina ftw [05:30] Bye all. [05:30] [MindVirus]: you want default??? then you got it with distro itself.. [05:30] does anyone here know what it would take for ubuntu to be in a box on every shelf, powered up and ready to beat microsoft at it's own game? [05:30] !resolution | FAJ [05:30] amarendra: jaunty's got new wallies, i think [05:30] FAJ: 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 [05:30] JoeLinux117: yah it says run 'nvidia x-config' as roopt [05:30] <[MindVirus]> amarendra, I'm not on Intrepid!

[05:31] JoeLinux117: ran sudo nvidia-xconfig... [05:32] JoeLinux117: nothing. [05:32] JoeLinux117: for your command [05:32] bsdunix: That is kinda offtopic, /join #ubuntu-offtopic, this #channel is for support and stuff. [05:32] JoeLinux117: but nvidia-settings still gives me that error [05:32] FAJ: Go to System --> Administration --> Hardware Drivers [05:33] Ok Thanks for your help [05:33] FAJ: That should give you the option of downloading and installing the recommended nvidia driver for your kernel. [05:33] Good night [05:33] JoeLinux117: what is that in failsafe terminal? [05:33] <[MindVirus]> Any suggestions? [05:33] <[MindVirus]> Can someone quickly host the default Ibex cave painting wallpaper? [05:33] <[MindVirus]> I would really appreciate it. [05:34] FAJ: Oh yea, sorry! Umm, you would need a display running in order to see that... [05:34] hey all, i am trying to install ubuntu server, and when trying to erase the data on the swap partition, I get this error: "An error occurred trying to erase the data on SCSI1 (0,0,0, partition #1 (sda). The data has not been erased." [05:34] FAJ: Do you know the model of your nVidia card? [05:34] JoeLinux117: i am in failsafe terminal; so display is open... [05:34] what can I do to format this partition? === Greek_boy is now known as trojan === trojan is now known as `trojan` [05:34] unr3a1: was swap in use ? [05:35] FAJ: "sudo jockey-gtk" [05:35] DasEi, no. I am trying to install ubuntu fresh. [05:35] JoeLinux117: nothing available... [05:35] JoeLinux117: what if i try nvidia-glx-new? [05:35] <[MindVirus]> Anyone? [05:35] JoeLinux117: it's a 6800....? [05:35] DasEi, this computer has never had linux on it. it had windows xp [05:36] FAJ: I don't know your nVidia card model... [05:36] ubuntu rocks [05:36] unr3a1: so if mount doesn't show it, try to erase/reformat/unallocate it from live-cd first, sounds little strange [05:36] FAJ: Oh ok.. [05:36] JoeLinux117: 6200. [05:36] DasEi, this is an older machine. the live cd will not boot on it. [05:36] DasEi, that is why I am trying to install Ubuntu server. [05:37] anyybody know how to add custom resolutions to nvidia x server? trying to get 1366x768 but it jumps from 1280x720 to 1920x1080 [05:37] [MindVirus]: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ubuntu-wallpapers [05:37] [MindVirus: What is the issue or error? [05:37] unr3a1: more specs of the machine ? [05:37] FAJ: I'm trying to remember in 8.04... do you have a package called "nvidia-glx-180"? [05:37] FAJ: Not installed, but available to install. [05:37] DasEi, Dell P3 1.0Ghz 384MB RAM 150GB HDD (1x30, 1x120) [05:38] JoeLinux117: apt-cache search shows nothing.. [05:38] unr3a1: and you'll use a whole hd ? [05:38] DasEi, no. I have data on the 120GB HDD. I am trying to install Ubuntu server on the 30GB HDD [05:39] FAJ: Right, I meant having it available to install. I just want to make sure that's the package name. [05:39] JoeLinux117: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24/+bug/220952 [05:39] JoeLinux117: i think my prob [05:39] FAJ: "aptitude search nvidia-glx" and see if it's there. [05:40] unr3a1: and you'll use a whole hd ?... so the whole 30 gb then, so yes; disconnect the 120 to prevent any trouble, set bios to boot from 30, use alternate installer, put on datastorage in fstab later [05:40] JoeLinux117: nvidia-glx-new already installed. [05:40] DasEi: Good call. cheers [05:41] is there any way to open up nano and 'pipe' in some text? like $~nano < FAJ: Look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and in the "Device" section, see if the driver being used is "nvidia"... my guess is it's not. [05:41] voxel: You want to "start" nano with some text sort of thing? [05:42] voxel : why not use cp ? [05:42] voxel: or, jsut looking to browse it? or start a file? or what? [05:42] voxel: echo "sometext" | nano ? [05:42] I see a "System Restart Required" icon in the top of my screen, which isn't particularly odd ... except that the kernel hasn't upgraded in a long time. What might have put it there? [05:42] JoeLinux117: driver "vesa" [05:42] Hi, I've turned off tooltips in gconf, but I still see some stuff like when I point at things in my workspace switcher... anyway to turn these off too? [05:42] JoeLinux117: change to "nvidia" ? [05:42] well, I am looking to append a line to a user crontab from another program.... but the only way I can find to edit the user crontab is by using 'crontab -e' [05:42] offby1, glibc possibly [05:43] FAJ: "sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf", and switch that driver name to "nvidia"... hopefully that will work. [05:43] It says "click to start dragging ..." and so on [05:43] JoeLinux117: ok done, restart x? [05:43] FAJ: Or "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf", whatever you prefer... [05:43] nickrud: libc6 did indeed update recently. But I thought its .dev knew how to restart those services which depended upon it [05:43] voxel: Ah, yeah... there's a file for it, but its sort of hidden and easier to use crontab -e [05:43] FAJ: No, restart the whole machine. [05:43] s/.dev/.deb/ [05:43] JoeLinux117: ok rebooting [05:44] is this saying really true?, "you sacrafice, functionality for eye-candy" ? [05:44] offby1, there's just too much that depends on it [05:44] JoeLinux117: i have my old old xorg.conf backed up [05:44] FAJ: Good. [05:44] nickrud: hm, well, OK. [05:44] DasEi, ok, I gotta set the BIOS to boot from the 30GB HDD. I dont think I did that. I will check now. [05:44] so if worse to worse... [05:44] offby1, I don't even want to get into some of the odd stuff that ubuntu asks for. Some drivers even, rather than having people do rmmod & modprobe [05:44] JoeLinux117: lol i had to get into grub and change kernel, weird haha. [05:45] Flannel, really? because I've been looking online now for like over an hour and can't find any specific location for the user crontab... everytime I run 'crontab -e' it opens a file /tmp/crontab./crontab [05:45] FAJ: Really? [05:45] JoeLinux117: yah i had it booting up to old kernel ;) [05:45] JoeLinux117: no luck with that change. [05:45] nickrud: I looked in /usr/share/doc/libc6, and nothing there was newer than January ... that puzzled me too [05:45] FAJ: Oh ok... I thought you meant something else. [05:45] JoeLinux117: so how can i get nvidia-settings to work...???? [05:45] voxel I'm not on ubuntu but its in /var/cache/cron or something similar [05:45] unr3a1: that won't be the issue about swap... I just wanted to set possible missunderstandings out [05:46] FAJ: You have to have the nvidia module loaded first. [05:46] DasEi, ok. [05:46] the only other thing I could find was /var/spool/cron/crontabs.... but that is a (folder/inode) and won't open (plus it only has root permission) [05:46] FAJ: Try reinstalling nvidia-glx-new. [05:46] JoeLinux117: it keeps removing it... ok [05:46] unr3a1: did you use the alternate installer ? [05:46] offby1, /var/log/dpkg.log has the installation history. Again, I'm not on ubuntu so I can't tell you my little one liner that parses it. It's human readable though [05:46] DasEi, for clarification, in the BIOS, one HDD says, "IDE-HDD", the other says "ARMD-HDD". whats the difference? [05:47] voxel, that's the place [05:47] nickrud, the user crontab? Becuase i think I found it in /var/spool/crontab [05:47] nickrud: yeah, I looked at that. Saw lots of info about what upgraded, but nothing about "I'm gonna reboot now" or anything like that :) [05:47] voxel, sudo -i so you have access to the dir [05:47] DasEi, I am using the Ubuntu server disc. it loads into the text based installer by default [05:47] voxel: That's a temp file, after you close, it copies it, etc. Sort of like visudo and stuff. It is /var/spool/crontab/crontabs/user [05:48] offby1, I haven't found the flag for that either [05:48] JoeLinux117: after that reinstallll>...? [05:48] nickrud: hmm, I do see "trigproc libc6 2.8~20080505-0ubuntu9 2.8~20080505-0ubuntu9" [05:48] that's gotta be significant. [05:48] DasEi, also, I am trying to setup the swap from the first sector to whatever sector equals 1GB.. should I tell the installer to skip the first few sectors? [05:48] odd how old the version number appears though [05:48] unr3a1: eeerm, armd-hdd I don't know, you should get the discs by their size, and that machine will have ide-drives; ;; not right, the alternate isn't live-able, while ther server/desktp's are [05:49] FAJ: Once it's reinstalled, you'll have to reboot the machine... it should have modified xorg.conf for you. [05:49] exit [05:49] JoeLinux117: we wil se [05:49] e [05:49] offby1, look at the changelog for actual dates I'd guess [05:49] nickrud, ah yes... running nautilus as sudo I can access /var/spool/cron/crontabs/myuser [05:50] yeah, they're all pretty old. [05:50] DasEi, my BIOS does not recognize the HDD sizes. then it is the alternate server install disc, because there is no live option on this disc [05:50] unr3a1: you can, after disconnecting the 120, use the live to erase whole 30 gb, then use guided partioning, everything shall be done for you [05:50] Flannel, and the tempfile gets copied to /var/spool/cron/crontabs/user , right? [05:50] is there any way to get hold of kernels for like 2 years back for ubuntu ? :) need to test if its the kernel or the computer that is broken :/ [05:50] JoeLinux117: nope [05:50] (at least that's what it looks like) [05:50] FAJ: *sigh* [05:50] JoeLinux117: yah... [05:51] envyng? [05:51] Excell: Yea, that's what I was just about to say. [05:51] unr3a1:k, so you got the alternate;; bios > ide autodetection > > should show your drives [05:52] FAJ: Try installing "sudo apt-get install envyng-core" (or whatever the "envyng" package is in 8.04). [05:52] JoeLinux117: one sec; onto something on #nvidia [05:52] unr3a1:simply disconnect the 120, choose guided installtion (whole disk),......... install [05:52] FAJ: Ok, excellent. [05:52] DasEi, alright. thanks [05:52] DasEi, I will try that [05:54] Sorry people. I had a meeting to attend, and I didnt get to see if there was an answer to my question. I will re-fire it. [05:54] Flannel or nickrud , any ideas on how I could construct a command that does not require root access and will append a user-defined crontab command using 'crontab -e' ? [05:55] voxel, nope. [05:55] hello all [05:56] how to have a file server [05:56] hi [05:56] voxel: http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/17896-can-we-edit-crontab-using-shell-script.html (last reply) [05:56] voxel, maybe crontab -l ? [05:56] xmedex: inter/intranet ? [05:56] this server can auto save files from client pc [05:56] I am trying to load a file to get my printer going. The file I have downloaded is the correct file, but I dont know the correct commands to load it. The file is lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.zip, and I am currently in desktop, which is where the file is. It keeps telling me that I am missing some information after the name. I have tried sudo apt-get install, and I have tried sudo install. Am I missing a suffix? [05:56] how??. [05:56] intranet [05:57] DasEi, I am trying the guided install now [05:57] xmex: might check out rsync [05:57] !backup [05:57] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [05:57] so I upgraded to 8.10 (don't you hate the ones that start like that? sorry :) and when I get to kdm, my keyboard and mouse don't work. However, ctl-alt-f1 works, and if I do an /etc/init.d/kdm restart they start working ... any ideas? [05:58] calamari, switch to gdm for login? /me runs quickly [05:58] !GD [05:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about GD [05:58] lol [05:58] how do i load itunes through wine? [05:58] He-man_: "file lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.zip" [05:58] also, my separate arrow keys no longer work [05:58] can't find it in the repos... anyone know if the GD Image/Graphics Library is available for us ubuntu lovers? [05:58] any idea??? [05:58] He-man_: Just want to make sure it's really the right type of file... there's a few extensions there... [05:58] Flannel, oooooh this looks promising, I will give this a try, thanks! (I wish I would've thought to search for 'edit cron script' earlier...) [05:59] itunes? linux? [05:59] CaptainMorgan, php5-gd I think === temp is now known as abj12a [05:59] ah... [05:59] JoeLinux117: Thanks. Do I just type that into the terminal, once I am in the correct place? And yes, there are a lot of suffixes already, but yes, it is the correct name. [05:59] don't know if it will work, but if i load wine into linux i can run windows based programs, i just don't remember how to install them [05:59] He-man_: Yes. Once you are in the same directory as the file, type that and tell me what the output is. [05:59] CaptainMorgan, aptitude search php5- will be illuminating [05:59] nickrud, nice! that's it.. .I wouldn't never have known- thanks! [06:00] !itunes | R0b3rt_: , more a quest for ##winehq [06:00] R0b3rt_: , more a quest for ##winehq: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [06:00] R0b3rt_, yes it works [06:01] R0b3rt_, check out http://appdb.winehq.com for a list of applications and how well they work under wine [06:01] DasEi, I disconnected the 120GB hdd, and now I get boot errors booting into the installer. [06:01] itunes has started working under wine? [06:01] DasEi, like, ata1.00 error: { UNC } [06:01] I just installed Ubuntu on my desktop -but I don't think my ethernet card is being picked up, any thoughts? [06:01] unr3a1:is it set as master ? [06:02] DasEi, yes it is. the jumpers are as well [06:02] unr3a1:did you set the bios accordingly ? [06:02] did* [06:02] JoeLinux117: The response is "lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-`.i386.deb.sh.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract" === MrMinster is now known as ClayG [06:03] How to reboot inside Ubuntu without restarting [06:03] DasEi, There was nothing to set in the BIOS. It was already set [06:03] Can anybody recommend and all-in-one type configuration panel, preferably not desktop dependant, to run through X over SSH? [06:03] He-man_: Ok, do "unzip lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.zip" [06:03] He-man_: Tell me what comes out. [06:04] JoeLinux117: Will do, thanks. [06:04] using terminal for How to reboot inside Ubuntu without restarting [06:04] unr3a1: in standard cmos-setup, which drive(s) shown ? [06:04] taz, you're in terminal and want to get the graphical interface ? [06:05] nado: what do u mean ??

[06:06] DasEi, I dont have that type of option available. if you mean what drive is shown when I go into IDE configuration, just the 30GB maxtor drive [06:06] taz, i'm trying to get more details on your question, because the way you asked it doesn't make a lot of sense [06:06] He-man_: Type "file lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh", just to make sure. That seems odd to me. [06:06] DasEi, I am starting to think that the HDD is baaad [06:06] bad* [06:06] FAJ: Did #nvidia ask you to install envyng? [06:06] unr3a1: sure drive is in order ? by the way, the machine should be able to run alive cd [06:07] JoeLinux117: Will do. What the last command did was unzip it, so yeah, hopefully it runs it.lol [06:07] JoeLinux117: no [06:07] taz, what do you mean by "reboot inside ubuntu" [06:07] nado... i try to said. with out reboot.. i dont have to wait for boot up... just temrinal wil do and fast way [06:07] anyone here know shell scripting? [06:07] FAJ: If not, install it (it might be "envyng-gtk" or "envyng-core" or something in 8.04) [06:07] nado: yes [06:07] DasEi, I do not have enough RAM to run a live CD. [06:07] hello world [06:07] lol [06:07] LOL [06:07] DasEi, also, my BIOS is only capable of booting CDs with an 8MB boot image file.

I cant [06:09] DasEi, it wont load any version of Slackware later than 10.2 [06:09] He-man_: Well, if you trust the source, go ahead and type "sudo chmod +x lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh" [06:09] what program can view .chm files in ubuntu?

[06:15] unr3a1: more likely can try to install it on anothr PIII, then re-asemble hard-disk [06:15] Flannel, that is definitely going to work, thanks so much for the help! [06:15] DasEi, like I said, I think its a bad HDD [06:15] JoeLinux117: well lol joe i think my update-manager is bad, b/c it will not update the other ones.

Im tired of remaking my accounts for irc serv's as well [06:22] OK solved guys.... It is not Alt+F1 but Ctrl+Alt+F1 then to back to the GUI, just press Ctrl+Alt+F7.. Thanks 4 hielmy for helping me.. [06:22] unr3a1:age of the bios ? a year ? (appears at bootup), can you google the model ? bios-update ? [06:23] <_bobJR_> if someone could help me im trying to make pcmanfm the default file manager for xubuntu does anyone know the correct way of doing this [06:23] <_bobJR_> 8.10 of coarse [06:23] <_bobJR_> thunar has alot of bugs [06:24] DasEi, also, based on how the CD rom sounds, I would say it is atleast a 24x [06:24] _bobJR_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=488954 [06:24] <_bobJR_> thanks nado [06:25] JoeLinux117: have you ever heard when update-manager doesn't update all the packages [06:25] FAJ: Yes, but typically when a partial upgrade of the OS is required, which update-manager should walk you through. [06:26] FAJ: I've seen it happen before also for other reasons, but you can usually get around it by dropping to the command line: "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" [06:26] çäðàñòâóéòå, çäåñü åñòü ðóññêîãîâîðÿùèå? :) [06:26] JoeLinux117: b/c mine does that... reinstalle update-manager? [06:26] DasEi, this computer is 8 years old. [06:26] JoeLinux117: will that make upgrade??! [06:26] unr3a1: as my abilities of a fortune teller end without technical, you may try goole to find out more; without more specific information it's hard to help you there, does windows still run it ? [06:26] DasEi, so the BIOS is that old as well, and it has the most up-to-date BIOS that Dell has released for these machines [06:26] FAJ: Of the packages... it won't upgrade your OS version. [06:27] DasEi, well yea, its been running a stripped version of XP for over a year now. [06:27] JoeLinux117: didn't do anything... reinstall update-manager? [06:28] FAJ: sudo apt-get update ? [06:28] FAJ: Umm, I don't think that's gonna do it. [06:28] DasEi, I am not expecting you to be a fortune teller [06:28] unr3a1: so you could use a sys-tool to get more specs, this becomes more and more a guessing game.. [06:28] will ubuntu's installer create and size a new partition to allow an existing OS (e.g. Vista) to be left in place and functional? [06:29] JoeLinux117: haha, it's just weird b/c when kernel updates, it will not WILL NOT also install linux-restricted... [06:29] Hi everybody... [06:29] DasEi, nvm... its the hard drive. i put in the old 40GB hard drive, and the installer cd loaded fine. I put in the 30GB maxtor again, and I am getting these I/O erros [06:29] FAJ: I've seen before where the new kernel is made available, but the linux-restricted-modules package for that kernel has not... it's unfortunate. [06:29] oh... shoot ok [06:30] FAJ: I haven't had that problem in a while though. [06:30] JoeLinux117: ok i will make note. [06:30] DasEi, its not a guessing game. its simple logic. its an old Dell Dimension 4100. P3, 1.10GHz with an old, crappy bios [06:30] unr3a1: hm, explains the swap-issue, but not the live-behaviour [06:30] FAJ: I've been running 9.04 without a hitch for at least two months now... it was in Alpha earlier, and there was a few bugs. [06:31] DasEi, what live behavior? [06:31] FAJ: Well, hope I helped you out. Now I'm off to sleep ;) [06:31] JoeLinux117: work good? [06:31] unr3a1:why won't a live load then ? [06:31] Excell: Yes, I really like it. [06:31] hey, is there a way to boot just the terminal as ubuntu server does....on a desktop installation? [06:31] cool..have a good nite [06:31] Excell: New notifications, GEM (fantastic improvement in graphics performance)... [06:32] night joe thanks [06:32] Excell: Definitely worth it. [06:32] JoeLinux117: thanks [06:32] DasEi, .... a live will load. but it takes too long. my hair would be grown out to around my ankles by the time the friggin thig loaded. [06:32] FAJ: No prob... [06:32] sound 2? [06:32] Bye! [06:32] bye [06:32] Excell: Yes... [06:32] lol [06:32] ya [06:32] DasEi, and I have a buzz cut [06:33] ashleyw:system > administration > loginmanager [06:33] Hey I was finding interesting thing about a decentralized internet and wish to ask one thing.

Won't show anything in bold [06:59] yeah i dont have an option there for the resolution i want [06:59] How do I get it to show everything? [06:59] hey is it a security risk to have remote administration on in ubuntu? [06:59] UbuTheUbi: if improperly secured, yes [06:59] What good is command line if I don't know how to open anything or view anything with it? [06:59] I have gotten 2 requests just today with people asking to view my desktop [07:00] otokoyama; it looks like you need to specify this beforhand http://www.cliki.net/pygen [07:00] Nithrin1: what kind of file are you trying to view? [07:00] UbuTheUbi: that was me, i wanna view === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:00] word document .doc [07:00] lol [07:00] here comes a hammering of people wanting to view lol [07:00] Nithrin1: ahh, command line parsers aren't going to view that in the way you want to. For that your best bet is to use Openoffice or any of the other GUI based programs [07:01] the resolution i want is 1152x864 [07:01] I just think its weird it has to be someone online.. because im not thinking anyone local would have ubuntu too [07:01] mornin ppl [07:01] I know that, I was just playing with command line and trying to see what was available to me. How do I open a document in open office from the command line? [07:01] I have about 3 neighbors that could probably pick up my network [07:01] nitrin: "openoffice document.doc" [07:01] how do i properly secure the remote administratio? [07:02] *Administration === natsukashi_afk is now known as natsukashi_ [07:02] Thanks, I'll try that [07:02] has anyone here tried putting a video playback on their background? mplayer --rootwin does put the playback on the root window, as google searches have indicated it should, but it draws over my windows nevertheless? [07:02] I mean what im getting at is what happens if someone keeps hammering me trying to guess the password [07:02] gparted doesn't let me partition to ntfs. :/ [07:02] aww! It'll work, but I got to go into the folder it is in first [07:02] I guess that is not so bad tho [07:02] natsukashi_: it can resize it =) [07:03] anyone else have experience with people trying to connect remotely with them? [07:03] anyone install ubuntu on inspiron 1525? [07:03] ubutheubi.. make your passowird 14 characters long and the can keep guessing ad infinitum [07:03] sweet [07:03] ill do that [07:03] ZupZupper: But my friend used gparted to create 2 ntfs-partitions. :( [07:04] i have 1 more question. [07:04] natsukashi_: was he using a different version than you? [07:04] why are linksys routers so garbo? I know how to properly open ports for applications and the ip addy of my computer and all [07:04] ubutheubi, I also saw some package, fail2ban i think, that be configured to block an IP for for instance failing to authenticate a number of thimes.. [07:04] why does it sometimes work when i open a port [07:04] and sometimes not [07:05] like nice [07:05] ZupZupper: I don't think so. He used the live CD (the very same I used to install my Ubuntu.) and I'm running it on Ubuntu [07:05] ..ill definately do that [07:05] the fail to ban thing [07:05] When I did openoffice I got the following message: (soffice:25671): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is depracated It opened the document, but what does that message mean and what has it done to my document? [07:05] Does anyone know how to take avi files and turn them into dvd's that can play on a dvd player? [07:05] vodafone-mobile-connect - anyone has that running under jaunty? [07:05] seriously though guys are older wrt54 model routers just garbage? [07:05] Nithrin1, nothing.. it's just a warning [07:06] a warning for nothing...lol if u say so [07:06] natsukashi_: hmm what're you trying to accomplish beyond just creating the ntfs parts? [07:06] Nithrin1, GTK apps always outputs stuff when run from console [07:06] okies [07:06] oOarthurOo: i can do that on windoze, dont know how on linnix [07:06] UbuTheUbi: Nothing wrong with the older wrt54g's especially if you drop dd-wrt on them [07:06] soo [07:06] !GTK [07:06] GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI [07:06] ZupZupper: Resizing it, but I'm going to use it to install SlimXP. [07:06] fithrin1... your document was maybe written with an older version of word and some parameters are antiquated... but there's no problem [07:07] noone can help me add a new screen resolution to the list on ubuntu? [07:07] natsukashi_: the best thing to do if you're going to install xp is to let xp's disk tools create the ntfs file system [07:07] Nithrin1, it really is so, many programs spew warnings yet work fine, I guess cleaning up every last one is not a priority sometimes... [07:07] John`anderson, private message me [07:07] u can use gparted to create a NTFS partition [07:07] As long as it works, I don't care...heh [07:08] 91.187.116.67 [07:08] Just trying to find out why some people swear by command line [07:08] http://cqcounter.com/whois/ [07:08] ZupZupper: Hm, okay. I guess I'll have to do that. :) Thanks [07:08] thats where this fagzor thats trying to access my computer is [07:09] so, no ideas on root window video playback? [07:09] i wanna kick his serbian ass [07:09] natsukashi_: np [07:09] nithrin.. with experience and time you will find the the command line is your friend... it is actually much faster a definitely more pcapable than the guis... [07:09] Any MD experts? I had two drives in a raid array get marked failed due to a power outage (they were fine). I tried to restart the array several times with no luck and finally tried to recreate it. However, the array looks blank. Am I out of luck? [07:09] lol UbiTheUbi :) [07:09] bluejeans, dw worked it out sed 's@^@r@g' someone in ##linux knew [07:10] otoko.. ok [07:10] seriously though why do you want to pick on people who have ubuntu.. is it not easy enough to f/ with the dummies on windows [07:10] anyone else have trouble with the Network Manager and static IP addresses in 8.10? [07:10] has anyone try to install condor in ubuntu? I am bit stuck here [07:11] ubutheubi: i don't pick on ubuntu.. i have used it for years and though i now use slackware i still appreciate ubuntu for certain qualities.. [07:11] just curious. [07:11] jack|ass, creating it again probably did you in [07:11] how can you tell if someone is viewing your desktop [07:12] Ian00: damn it, i was afraid of that. [07:12] or has viewed is there a log somewhere? [07:12] Which channel can help me with KDE 4.2 Widgets? [07:12] Ian00: although doing -E shows a large portion of the array is used. That makes me think the data is still intact. [07:12] im worried someone else who uses this computer may have just clicked it not knowing what it was [07:13] ubu haha are you on a network? if not then as long as you have your security up you'll never have to worry abou tthat [07:13] no i HAD it not no more though [07:13] ubu: oh.. sorry. i misunderstood ... just a sec [07:13] so you could connect over the internet [07:14] but someone would have to allow them on my side [07:14] ubu, yes [07:14] bluejeans - Thank you :OD [07:14] just curious.. is there a way to scan ips on here to see if that ip is prowling on people in this chat [07:15] Hi - I am quasi a volunteer doing some computer stuff here at a local school. It has 99.9% windows pc's but we are introducing a few ubuntu machines now. Can I change the username of the initial user (the one who can access sudo etc..) to administrator to conform to all the others - read some place about there being problems with that..? [07:15] jpsman: worked for oyu? [07:15] frybye: look into /etc/sudoers [07:15] and the group "admin" [07:15] frybye: any user can use sudo as long as its a member of admin [07:15] !adduser | frybye [07:15] frybye: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [07:16] frybye; uh... too late.. what they said. you can also specify certain tasts that other users can run via visudo [07:16] ill almost bet this is where that guy got the ip .. why would someone scan thousands of computers ports to find just one ubuntu ip [07:16] and it is ok to name a user in the admin group "administrator?" yeah? [07:16] frybye: there isnt just one single "admin" account like windows, in the real world this isnt practical, even windows has a group for administrators which users can be added to give multiple admin accounts [07:17] frybye: you can have any username excpet the ones in: cat /etc/passwd [07:17] frybye: for ease of your soul make a new administrator first or you'll have trouble adding usesrs when you're not an admin anymore [07:17] is anyone administrator or able to check if this ip is currently connected on this room?

(in /dev) [07:32] perscitus: yeah of course but if you look around there is support around for it, and it will work so are you looking for direct rendering etc? so then i'm not sure [07:33] natsukashi_: a script is a text file marked as executable with '#!/bin/bash' as its first line (without the 's) [07:33] natsukashi_: then its just a list of instructions to follow like the method part of a cooking recipe [07:34] natsukashi_: http://pastebin.com/f330221a8 [07:34] i have installed flash player.. but still when i open firefox 3.x or sea monkey it says that you have got a older version of flash or you have flash disabled... now what to do i cant see youtube [07:34] natsukashi_: thats one ono my fileserver called 'fullupgrade' [07:35] natsukashi_: its pretty self explanatory [07:35] feel free to copy it [07:35] ActionParsnip: Thanks. :D [07:35] UbuTheUbi --> query [07:35] natsukashi_: put it in a text file, chmod +x the file then put it in your path someplace [07:36] natsukashi_: you can then run 'sudo fullupgrade' and it will run through the list of commands [07:36] ActionParsnip: I take this will work on Debian also? [07:36] natsukashi_: as longas debian uses those commands, yes [07:36] It does. :) [07:37] Unless I've been lied to [07:37] natsukashi_: you can make a scipt do anything as you can do anything in terminal that you can do in gui (except flash in websites) [07:37] ^^ anyone know? Is there a command to show all the mounted drives (with their current mount points)? [07:37] ashleyw→ "mount" [07:38] ah cool ty! :D [07:38] how do you start nmap? [07:38] is there any electronic information on how installing drivers work on ubuntu and why i keep getting a black screen when i run a hardware test? [07:38] btw, you don't know how do mount a usb hdd so it's writable do you? [07:38] UbuTheUbi→ nmap is command line, maybe you should use a graphical frontend instead === jeremy_c_ is now known as jeremy_c [07:39] UbuTheUbi: nmap is a CLI app, you need a gui for it unless you want to use the command line version [07:39] ben. you don't really install drivers in linux.. [07:39] ashleyw: if its ntfs formatted [07:39] !ntfs-3g | ashleyw [07:39] ashleyw: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [07:39] yep it is [07:39] graphical front end whats a common one people use for nmap? [07:39] hi .. fairly obscure question. Is there a pinyin traditional chinese input method in Ubuntu? [07:39] lucky→ yes. called SCIM [07:39] !scim | lucky [07:39] lucky: Chinese, Japanese, Korean Language input. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SCIM [07:39] ben. are you talking about a video card? [07:39] yah [07:40] sorry i got bombed with text :D [07:40] magcius: yes, i already have scim and i have simplified character input with pinyin... but i can't find a traditional module [07:40] er sorry, magnetron: yes, i already have scim and i have simplified character input with pinyin... but i can't find a traditional module [07:41] ben. if you're getting a blank screen then you need to configure xorg [07:41] ben. get you card type and do a search [07:42] so im guessing zenmap is the most common gui [07:42] UbuTheUbi: what are you trying to do with nmap? [07:43] i searched the forms and see large configurations of xorg [07:43] UbuTheUbi: the syntax isn't *that* hard [07:43] i have a NAS that directly faces the internet, whats a good way to see if its been hacked, or how many network connections it has, etc... I have no visibility on its activity [07:43] check my security [07:43] is it as simple as copy and paste O_o/ [07:43] UbuTheUbi: what ports you have open? [07:43] yeh that [07:43] if you just type nmap it will tell you [07:43] ben.. be sure you get the right one for your card... [07:43] but to make it easy for you... [07:43] you have the model numbeR? [07:43] Do you have /ns set url [07:43] nmap -v -A localhost [07:43] Ben___: its the same as in windows, ctrl+c, ctrl+v [07:44] hey, how can I import Firefox settings (bookmarks/passwords/etc) from my windows vista ? to another (PC ubuntu) [07:44] znull: try foxmarks? [07:44] Hey people. I just migrated from Windows last night (Dual booting) and I was wondering if there was a way to make the filesystem in Ubuntu look like Windows? Like, with the C Drive, and the D Drive and things like that? It's just too familiar to me === carlos is now known as Guest63563 [07:44] znull: Try #firefox [07:44] lucky→ go to Applications > Add/Remove, install "language support" . Then go to System > Adminiistration > Language support and enable the Chineses lannguage. Remember to enable support for "complex characters". [07:44] Akio: that's not the way unix filesystems work [07:44] why all of the channels are registered by freenode-staff [07:45] Akio: sorry to disappoint [07:45] pulling the card now [07:45] any girls here?

[07:45] znull: np [07:45] Akio: You can easily make symlinks but it's easier to just understand the linux file system structure [07:45] Do you have /ns set url [07:45] ben.. keep looking [07:45] Guest17557 | spam [07:45] Guest17557 | !spam [07:45] bah [07:46] what linux, a girl [07:46] ?

( on windows I use trucrypt... I know that they support linux too ) but it's that safe? [07:47] ben. then in the terminal type lspci [07:47] Hahah, well it shows the file structure of my files the way I like them in My Computer. I should have noticed it before, but I guess I was a bit too tired [07:47] znull: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty questions, thanks. [07:48] oh beautiful [07:48] ben. haha (oh.. that as root...)

Does anyone know how to turn off the framebuffer of Ubuntu 8.04 completely? Setting "nosplash vga=normal" or "nosplash nofb" only turns off the framebuffer for one or two boot screen. But, afterwards, the boot screen switches to a framebuffer again. Should I recompile the kernel, or is there another easy way to turn it off completely? [08:05] which? [08:05] hello everyone is there any official support channel for nvidia [08:05] noren - nvidia do have a forum system but no irc etc afaik [08:06] noren: drop to recovery root console: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then reboot will give you a display [08:06] frybye: yes you can have the username already set but it is changable [08:06] you can find the forums at nvidia.com if I remember rightly.. [08:06] noren: nvnews forums [08:06] ActionParsnip: no it did not helped i have tried that earlier [08:06] ynk: sudo fdisk -l will show you what partitions are formatted to what filesystem [08:07] Has anyone here ever paid Ubuntu for support? If so, did their support please you? [08:07] ActionParsnip, gotcha. [08:07] ActionParsnip: can you explain a little what you mean by "automatically populated?" [08:07] noren: then you have a bigger issue as that command will set your display settings to failsafe [08:07] Lou_: Support in what medium ? [08:07] can you network boot ubuntu ? === serenity is now known as s3r3n1t7 [08:08] frybye: so that when the screen is presented, the username will alrready be filled out [08:08] ActionParsnip: i already have an autologin - but then it goes straight into that account and does not present a login window to allow use of whichever account.. [08:08] Does anyone know why setting "nosplash vga=norma" does not turn off frame buffer completely? I mean, after one or two boot screens, the screen is switched back to framebuffer again. Is this because the Xorg server takes place? [08:08] frybye: then disable autologin [08:08] yeah but the problem is to have an account that uses a blank pw [08:08] ReVoLt, rm -- -Rf [08:08] frybye: thats the worst idea ever [08:08] yeah works [08:09] ty [08:09] hi [08:09] no good trying to get the kids in a school to remember/use a pw... [08:09] soreau, by email or phone. [08:09] how did got the solution? [08:09] restricted account ... [08:09] frybye: then your entire network is unsecure [08:09] -- tells rm to stop looking for options [08:09] man rm, and google [08:09] frybye: i'm sure they have passwords for stuff they use like myspace/facebook [08:10] frybye: having no password is ridiculous [08:10] !ntfs-3g | ynk [08:10] ynk: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [08:10] ReVoLt, in man rm it is explained actually :) [08:10] No, I don't think Xorg takes place. The switch is caused while still booting the kernel. Anyone knows how to turn framebuffer completely? [08:10] Lou_: I would suggest to read, get forums support or ask here first any question. Support is free and you shouldn't have to pay for it unless you need something very complicated and specific [08:10] ActionParsnip: of course from a security aspect not good.. it is just the way things are done here.. I am only a low low ranking guy with little training less money playing sysadmin but with no authority in some respects - as far as changing how things are done.. [08:10] ynk: if its ntfs, anything else you can just mount [08:10] hi, i want to save OO files from Ubuntu client to Ubuntu server -save to smb shares, but nautilus can't see them until i mount them, i nee dto do that every session, how can i let nautilus see them without having to mount them?

[08:11] choice: unless the partition is mounted, nautilus will not see it [08:11] ActionParsnip, i believe it is in fact NTFS. i was just staring at some unusually strange commands on a forum i found from googling. [08:11] choice: I am sure that your samba mount is displayed on your desktop. Can you see it? [08:11] eusu_kefuin, no its not [08:11] ynk: you need ntfs-3g if you wish to write to the device [08:11] eh - perhaps I should be carefull but it wouild appear that most of the teachers are 99% interested in stuff being simple and requiring the minimum of effort - and 1% concerned about all else... [08:11] ActionParsnip, can i have it mount on boot? [08:11] choice: But, it is displayed in Nautilus? [08:11] frybye: if you are sys admin, its your responsibility to ensure everything is secure and working [08:11] can you network boot ubuntu on a 9x machine [08:12] ActionParsnip, i'm not even able to view it without the driver? goodness.. [08:12] choice: sure, add a suitable entry to /etc/fstab [08:12] ActionParsnip: i will stick with the autologin... [08:12] eusu_kefuin, not until i mount it (places>server>blah blah [08:12] ActionParsnip: let me pm you a second pse..? [08:12] ynk: sure you are, linux can read ntfs on its own, it will still need mounting though [08:12] ActionParsnip, will nautilus then show it? [08:12] choice: Yes, I know that. Now after you have mounted it, can you see your mount in Desktop? [08:12] eusu_kefuin, yes [08:12] frybye: sure [08:12] lo127, dhclient -r [08:13] cheers [08:13] choice: Now right-click on that mount.

Should be the same, right? [08:21] nado: I have googled for a way to turn off framebuffer completely in Ubuntu. But, all says about "nosplash vga=normal". It only helps for one or two boot screens because afterwards the screen switches back to framebuffer again. === Guest10462 is now known as phallus === phallus is now known as strange_phallus [08:21] ynk: sudo mkdir /media/stick; sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/ /media/stick -o uid=1000 [08:21] nado: I think hacking the kernel should do the trick.

Although the module along with its depending modules were gone, the console is still in FB. [08:35] nado: Let me try another trick here. [08:35] eusu_kefuin, you rebooted ? [08:36] ActionParsnip, how do remember all these nitty gritty information?? LoL, i'm writing all this stuff down.

BTW, even after I have put fbcon in the blacklist, it still gets loaded. Looking at fbset manual, I think it cannot be used to turn fbcon off. [08:51] Catalin: if you run: lspci you will see a line that identifies the chi pon the card, you cna then websearch from there [08:52] soreau, that is not a good option for me as my system is highly customized.

[09:50] I don't care [09:50] thefeds: then run ass root [09:50] ...is it strictly necessary for ubuntu to walk users through *destroying their xorg.conf* with a nice user friendly interface? [09:50] thefeds: theres nothing you cant do with sudo / gksudo / kdesudo that root cannot do [09:50] just because a driver didn't load or something? [09:51] thefeds then run FC [09:51] thefeds: then use sudo / gksudo and it will run as root [09:51] thefeds ur a fat ass :$ [09:51] ikonia-> was that a freudian slip? [09:51] Final: stop that now [09:51] quibbler: yes [09:51] ROFLROFL [09:51] Final: keep it civil [09:51] Shot me [09:51] Is this for ubernerds? [09:51] Final: no - final warning, be polite to people [09:52] Final: this is a support channel for ubuntu discussion [09:52] * ActionParsnip shots Final [09:52] :$ [09:52] * Final Dead [09:52] I know it's a bad idea. But I like how windows does it [09:52] run as root [09:52] Is ubuntu hot? [09:52] Can anyone help me with my above wireless problem? [09:52] thefeds: so do it [09:52] Final: it's a SUPPORT channel only [09:52] Final: no it's cold [09:52] ActionParsnip: the tab completion works with certain cli programs like nano but doesn't work with ls or cd, any idea? I already tried replacing the skeleton files for my user and relogged in [09:52] clearscreen: please don't feed offtopic rambling [09:52] Funny dude [09:52] thefeds: logging in as root to gnome can cause serious trouble, dont do it. If you dont like to use sudo all the time, there is a switch to become root, even if your root account is still disabled [09:52] Get a life [09:52] running a syslog-ng server, which has stopped working for some reason, when I go to delete the logfile, it tells me: rm: cannot remove `local0': Read-only file system .... are the files mounted as a filesystem? [09:52] LOL [09:53] Final: I'm not laughing - please stop now [09:53] Im bou to cry dude [09:53] thefeds: see sudo man page [09:53] Your like 40 year old? [09:53] run as root and then hang around in irc evangelizing your epiphany! [09:53] iverson0881: they are 2 characters long, tab complete needs 3 [09:53] Anyone awake here with a good knowledge of Clonezilla? [09:53] hi [09:54] ActionParsnip: hmm but why on other ubuntu computers I have, cd,ls work fine? they're all running ubuntu hard heron [09:54] Jimi_Neutral: ha ha indeed at time zones! [09:54] Why is the eclipse package so hopelessly out of date? [09:54] iverson0881: so you have no oter apps that start with c? [09:54] it's 3 years old [09:54] thefeds: you can request an update, [09:54] I've pasted the script here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/142659/ anyone can help? [09:54] how? [09:54] sebsebseb: :) [09:55] iverson0881: i have 117 apps starting with c so it cant possibly tab complete cd from c [09:55] I'm trying to fix my wireless so it can connect to my school network. Some things that are worth noting are: It always works at some places in the school (history building), some places it rarely even detects the network, and in the library, it sometimes connects, and when it does, it will often send my kernel into panic mode. Should I do something like get my Windows wireless driver and use it on Ubuntu? Or should I try to update my drivers [09:55] thefeds: if you log a request through launchpad.net [09:55] iverson0881: for a start there is clear [09:55] ActionParsnip: but I'm trying to tab complete the directories and file names for example i want to navigate to some directory [09:55] hi all [09:56] iverson0881: then you may need to use ./ to specify the files start in the PWD or use absolute paths starting at / [09:56] So I just contact the maintainer [09:57] and hopefully they're still interested in maintaining the package [09:57] if I install ubuntu on a 2nd, dedicated harddrive, would I need to change boot sequence on the bios settings to switch between windows and ubuntu? [09:58] NoTiTo: only if Grub isn't loaded from the first or second hard drive (which everone you chose the BIOS to boot) [09:58] hi [09:58] ActionParsnip: If i try "cd /ho" it gives me this http://pastebin.com/m529b84e5 which is similar to the error I'm already having except "ho" in single quotes [09:58] NoTiTo-> no you will startup in grub and choose what you wish to start [09:58] why does "sudo aptitude search avrdude" not find avrdude, its listed here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/avrdude/5.5-3 [09:58] ActionParsnip: I tried typing that command to autocomplete /home directory, but I have the same problem with file names as well [09:58] thefeds: just log a request to the team that maintains it [09:59] iverson0881: can you tab complete the compgen command [09:59] only one maintainer [09:59] ActionParsnip: if I type comp and press tab I get a list of different programs and if i continue typing a few more letters it finds compgen [09:59] ok thats good [10:00] iverson0881: did you copy over the files from /etc/skel? [10:00] Does anyone here use the ATI catalyst 9.3 drivers on 8.10 successfully? [10:00] ActionParsnip, Well cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep -m1 CPU basically does the job, but I need to ONLY get the CPU name, not the "model name :" and other stuff [10:01] anyone can help me with that script I've pasted? It is very urgent, I need that to complete ticket from my boss [10:01] ActionParsnip: Yes I copied over .bash_logout, .bashrc, and .profile [10:01] Any ideas to bring it down to just "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU?" [10:01] can I install grub as an option when installing ubuntu? [10:02] NoTiTo, Yes you can [10:02] NoTiTo: grub is installed by ubuntu by default === BromaxSux1 is now known as BromaxSux [10:02] NoTiTo, you can disable it in advanced options at last page of the installation (Summery page) [10:02] iverson0881: hmm, if you create a new user does it do the same with that user? [10:02] wanting to create a DVD with DeVeDe without a menu how can I do this [10:02] !adduser | iverson0881 [10:02] iverson0881: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [10:03] H_M-Ubuntu: you will need to pipe the output through a grep [10:03] ActionParsnip: Let me try [10:03] H_M-Ubuntu: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name" [10:03] ActionParsnip: I don't know the parameters to remove the other things.... And mine works better, "cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep -m1 CPU" [10:04] modelname returns four things [10:04] H_M-Ubuntu: you'll have to work out a way to carve the first bit off. i'm not sure myself, try asking in #bash [10:04] Ok thanks for your help [10:04] ActionParsnip: I created a new user and tab completion works fine [10:05] iverson0881: ok so now we know a little more [10:05] iverson0881: log back in as the original user [10:05] iverson0881: sudo chown -R $USER /home/$USER; sudo chmod -R 750 /home/$USER [10:06] ActionParsnip: what will that do? [10:07] iverson0881: make you the owner of all your own files as well as grant proper permissions to then (you full access, group read and execute, everybody else no access) [10:07] H_M-Ubuntu: i dunno, mine simply displays the cpu model if you try it [10:08] ActionParsnip: okay I run the command exactly as you wrote it and I still have the same problem, do I need to log in and out again? [10:08] sed -n $'s/model name[\t ]*:[ \t]*//p' /proc/cpuinfo works slightly [10:09] anyone can help with the issue I've presented? [10:11] iverson0881: no, should be fine [10:11] help me [10:11] H_M-Ubuntu: works perfect here, nice [10:11] !ask | kamaz [10:11] kamaz: 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. :-) [10:12] I just installed Ubuntu and I'm trying to get dual display working correctly, I set my left monitor to 1024x768, and my right one to 1680x1050, but everything is all crazy looking now. It gave me some popup when I was making the change about a "Virtual Resolution", and I hit OK...but I'm not sure what's going on. [10:12] thankyou guys [10:12] The right monitor is almost completely unusable [10:12] fungin: take all the "sudo" commands and execute the script as root or with sudo [10:12] ActionParsnip: I have a quad core though, so it outputs 4 lines... Also, I don't want Q6700 and the frequency. [10:12] H_M-Ubuntu: http://pastebin.com/f75daaa32 [10:12] Hi! [10:12] Is there a french ubuntu channel? [10:12] !fr [10:12] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [10:12] Oh it works for you :D [10:13] H_M-Ubuntu: unicore cpu [10:13] Arsonide: try setting your right monitor to 1024 or configure it to be above the first screen. [10:13] H_M-Ubuntu: can you pastebin your output [10:13] Sure, one sec [10:13] H_M-Ubuntu: you may need to output to a file, then see if multiples exist and perform logic oon that [10:14] ActionParsnip: any other ideas why it doesn't work? [10:14] hmw_: It's asking me to log out again, be right back. [10:14] iverson0881: not sure duder, maybe someone else can chip in, or ask later [10:14] error remains...An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for gnome-session. [10:14] iverson0881: tried a reboot? [10:15] ActionParsnip: Yeah I have tried rebooting, the only workaround i'm seeing is me recreating this user, but it'll be a pain to do [10:15] http://pastebin.com/m70dbb23b [10:16] H_M-Ubuntu: you could make the grep find only the first instance [10:17] Tried [10:17] For some reason it failed [10:17] H_M-Ubuntu: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/using-grep-to-find-only-first-instance-139610/ [10:17] You can use -m normally [10:17] But the problem is, adding the |grep means I need a "PATERN" to look for [10:17] hi, I've a problem installing grub on a ICH9 fake-raid [10:18] fake raid is not a good idea at all [10:18] trying to install grub in a chroot [10:18] sebastian2: grub should always go on physical devices not fake raid devices [10:18] H_M-Ubuntu: try -N too [10:18] H_M-Ubuntu: http://uw713doc.sco.com/en/man/html.1/grep.1.html [10:18] yeh [10:18] grub-install /dev/sda says: /dev/mapper/isw_didbiagabc_Volume06 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. [10:18] ActionParsnip, I was using the MAN pages :) [10:18] defyer try creating a new test account unless gdm login is totally unusable. [10:19] sebastian2: possibly because your trying to do it within a chroot environment [10:19] H_M-Ubuntu: apparently not all greps support it [10:19] sebastian2: do it outside the chroot environment and don't use grub-install [10:19] ok [10:19] and instead of grub-install? [10:19] H_M-Ubuntu: For example, grep -N 1 '^main' .c would print the first instance of a line beginning with ``main'' in all files that match the expansion of ``.c''. [10:19] OH excuse me, not man pages for it, I meant --help [10:19] Sorry. [10:19] sebastian2: use the grub shell [10:19] H_M-Ubuntu: i'm asking jeeves, he's smart [10:20] Lawl Ok [10:20] Hello. I need to get somehow a file creation date to a variable, to mkdir folders based on that date, then move files to them. Please, help me... [10:20] ikonia: thx [10:20] Well i'm a wizard with C and C++... And python.... and Java.... But i'm new to programming on Linux [10:20] Has anyone run virtual machine? is it fast enough to tolerate? is it possible to install applications on virtual OS and would that run fine? [10:20] hi, tetonca, this time the error msg is: [10:20] ikonia: looking for a neat howto .. [10:20] And visual basic... sadly. [10:20] H_M-Ubuntu: similar kinda mindset [10:20] Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-djBDNA4ZHg: Connection refused) [10:20] don't you think the ubuntu theme is ugly? [10:21] actually, there are 2 alike error msg dialogs [10:21] thefeds: its fully customisable, you dont even have to use metacity [10:21] I'm making progress though.. I was able to port over some applications I made using GTK+ on Windows, and they work. Still; Linux is rather daunting. [10:21] thefeds: you can use LXDE or Openbox [10:21] !ot | thefeds [10:21] thefeds: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [10:21] Alright so I was trying to get dual display working and now it's completely broken and I can't even see the user interface of gnome anymore to undo my changes...I'm in Windows now. [10:22] The monitors both scramble basically to the point where I can't see anything. [10:22] Arsonide: boot to recovery root console and run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then reboot to ubuntu [10:22] How do I start in "safe mode" to fix this. [10:22] Arsonide: uhm... does it look like bad refresh rates? [10:22] Has anyone run virtual machine? is it fast enough to tolerate? is it possible to install applications on virtual OS and would that run fine? [10:22] yep, i'll create another account and then login [10:22] * Marsjanin goes also on #offtopic [10:23] abey o matthai [10:23] ActionParsnip: What will that do? [10:23] harpreet: sure, they are ok, depends on config and designated resources [10:23] harpreet: usually apps run quite fine in VMs, but I have no expirience with games and such. Guess they wouldnt run too well. People also are having trouble with certain drivers sometimes. Try it. [10:23] Arsonide: reset xorg.conf to failsafe and backup the current one [10:23] Arsonide: how did you reconfigure the right screen? [10:24] harpreet: games run badly, the new virtualbox has an opengl implementation but ive not heard anything [10:25] ActionParsnip: hmw_: I want to run some office applications such as simply accounting etc. for a client, i want to make sure client does not lose data. [10:25] I mean the shit brown theme of ubuntu it ugly imo [10:25] harpreet: then it'll be fine, does the app not run via wine? [10:25] harpreet: should do well. Expect some lag. [10:25] ikonia: /boot/grub is on /dev/mapper/isw_didbiagabc_Volume06 -- is this the correct grub> root - command? [10:25] thefeds: keep it PG [10:25] ActionParsnip: It is too slow in wine [10:25] harpreet: then try a virtualbox [10:26] ActionParsnip: hmw_: thank you very much [10:26] thefeds: you can fully customise gnome to your liking [10:26] sebastian2: look at your /boot/grub/device.map to see how your devices are mapped out according to grub [10:26] !virtualbox | harpreet [10:26] harpreet: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [10:26] thefeds: control your lagnauge please [10:26] harpreet: you will be installing windows on linux so you will need a license [10:26] it [10:26] thefeds: try gnomeart.org [10:27] ActionParsnip: License for windows right? [10:27] harpreet: yes as you will be installing it to th VM [10:27] ActionParsnip: wouldn't that license that originally came with their pc, when it was factory installed, work? [10:27] ikonia: (fd0) /dev/fd0 \n (hd0) /dev/sda \n (hd1) /dev/sdb -> sda + sdb is my raid [10:27] I can connect to my open vpn how can I make my ubuntu system use the vpn for internet traffic? [10:28] harpreet: depends on the license you bought, windows licenses are weird [10:28] ikonia: fd0 is my root then? [10:28] sebastian2: so you want to put grub on sda [10:28] ActionParsnip: true [10:28] kk [10:28] sebastian2: no, thats your floppy drive [10:28] ActionParsnip: then i'll have to investigate on it [10:28] harpreet: sounds like it, did you get wine from the wine repo [10:29] Ubersoldat: it works when I launch it from shell, it still won't work if I put it in the crontab [10:29] ubuntu supports SATA hard drives right? [10:29] harpreet: it seems slicker than the one on the ubuntu repo imho [10:29] NoTiTo: sure [10:29] ActionParsnip: I got it from ubuntu repo, should have tried other way [10:29] NoTiTo: as long as your SATA controller is installed correctly, yes [10:30] harpreet: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [10:30] harpreet: this may give better performance of the app [10:30] ikonia: setup (hd0) -> "Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition" [10:31] harpreet: i heard, ms gives away virtual machine images for free. You cant customize them fully to your wants, but for running normal apps, these free images should do fine. (VMWare) [10:31] ikonia: maybe i have to unmount sda1 .. w8 [10:31] hello to all! how can i see all the menus on my openoffice 3 i just set the visual effects to normal and suddenly it doesnt show up..but when I set it to none it has no problem..How is that? Thanks in advance [10:32] sebastian2: mounting doesn't matter [10:32] Hi all. I upgraded my laptop (T43p) to Jaunty and now it won't boot: "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/f0207247-[...] does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" (and I get busybox). What do I do? [10:32] sebastian2: what type of raid are you using ? raid 0, 1, 5 ? [10:32] hmw_: MS giving something for free!!!haha [10:32] ActionParsnip: thank you, i'm checking [10:33] before "ALERT! [...]", it said "\tCheck cryptopts=source= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline\n\tor missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev" [10:33] ikonia: RAID0 [10:34] * NoTiTo is writting the disc image then we start... [10:34] sebastian2: can't do it then [10:35] sebastian2: the /boot file system can't be on raid 0 [10:35] no help? [10:35] wtf [10:35] jonaskoelker: no patience ? [10:35] no ;) [10:35] sebastian2: control your language [10:35] ikonia: sry [10:36] ikonia: the entire disk is a ICH9 fake-raid0 [10:36] sebastian2: use a small SD card to hold /boot ;) [10:36] sebastian2: /boot need to be on an accesabilie partiton type - [10:37] so i enabled SCIM and now my compose key doesn't work anymore. [10:37] which cryptopts should I put in my cmdline? [10:37] I have some graphical problems with the very latest updates on Jaunty. Where can I talk about these? [10:37] DamienCassou: #ubuntu+1 [10:37] DamienCassou: #ubuntu+1 [10:37] thank you [10:37] lucky: IIRC, that's just how SCIM works. Go tell them you want better compose key support [10:38] /join #ubuntu+1 [10:38] hello, i'm a long time debian user and i am trying to configure an ubuntu installation for my purposes and i would like to learn, how can i start networking without starting the default gui [10:38] rox: networking comes up at run level 2, as does the gui, remove the gui from runlevel 2 or manually start the networking scripts [10:38] rox: worsk teh same as debian - so if you're a long time debian user this won't be a problem [10:38] ikonia: the usual /etc/init.d/networking start doesn't do the job [10:39] ikonia: are there other networking scripts? [10:39] rox: and what does it complain of [10:39] Q: running ubuntu on a laptop... just transmigrated again to linux.. 1st time ubuntu (was a mandrake guy back int he days.. hated red hat etc ;p) [10:39] rox: put stanzas for your devices in /etc/network/interfaces [10:39] ikonia: nothing, it just doesn't do the job [10:39] rox: so what component is missing ? [10:39] ikonia: and there are no interfaces configured in /etc/network/interfaces [10:39] rox: is the interface plumbed, does it have an ip, is it up ? what's missing [10:40] rox: if they're not there, Network Manager will handle networking, and that's The Recommended Choice (tm) (not that I think it's necessarily the best choice...) [10:40] rox: ok - so that means it was configured using nmapplet in gnome - as you're not using the desktop you'll need to configure an interface in the interfaces file [10:40] Q: oops.. Q are two in fact:1 .. is it ok to set up an irc server on ubuntu on a laptop (good enough specwise really) and two. I have a HP with that remote control thingy.. any advice how to use it in ubuntu if possible? [10:40] micca: err is your laptop always on and has a static ip? [10:40] micca: 1.) you need to work out if it's good enough, you know your own spec and the load it will put on it 2.) use lirc for your remote control [10:40] micca: 1. should be fine 2. check hcl online as well as lsusb and lspci output for if its supported by the OS [10:41] ikonia: ok, so if i configure an interfaces file, llike i'm used to, will it clash with this nmapplet thing, when my GF logs in to her desktop? [10:41] rox: no you should be fine [10:41] ziroday, YES.. ALWAYS ON .. no.. not static as such.. but can use dmz and/or dynamic dns.. (ps. the irc server would be a private one.. not public so even if its down once in a while, memebers wouldnt be bothered as such) [10:42] ikonia && jonaskoelker: thank you for your advice [10:42] hey helo [10:42] rox: you're most welcome :) [10:42] ok, thank you ikonia, ActionParsnip and ziroday ... I am not sure ActionParsnip , what hcl and the output (havent used linux in AGES) [10:42] !hcl [10:42] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [10:43] thank you ^^ [10:43] micca: windows has an hcl too [10:43] (ye ok.. but I didn't know the mnemonic) [10:43] (I'll pretend i'm Arthur Dent and haven't been by Earth in ages.. ,p) [10:44] hehe [10:44] another question; i installed dwm for myself, would perhaps the most clean solution be that i just put this network manager thing in my dwm startup script? [10:44] will it even run without the fat desktop? [10:45] rox: if you can incorperate it into your desktop, sure [10:45] hi.why the command su doen't work [10:45] !root > yana_ [10:45] yana_, please see my private message [10:45] !sudo > yana_ [10:45] yana_: check those two messages from ubottu [10:45] in my ubuntu === Squarc is now known as Squarc|afk [10:45] yana_: do sudo -i if you want a root shell [10:45] !away > Squarc|afk [10:45] Squarc|afk, please see my private message [10:45] ikonia: ok, just one last question - what executable are we talking about? [10:46] rox: nmapplet [10:46] ikonia: ok, thank you very much [10:46] if i succeed, i'll perhaps put together a little howto [10:47] i want to make root permissions to my lamp server [10:47] and i cant [10:47] using su [10:47] yana_: see !root ikonia sent you regarding su [10:48] yana@yana-desktop:~$ su [10:48] Password: [10:48] su: Authentication failure [10:48] yana@yana-desktop:~$ Squarc|afk [10:48] bash: afk: command not found [10:48] bash: Squarc: command not found [10:48] yana_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I wish to remove old kernel.. removing them from menu.lst is not enough right? can I go ahead though and just delete the kernel from /boot? [10:55] yana_: show me the output of the command "uname -a" [10:55] H_M-Ubuntu: sweet move dude :D [10:55] sudo apt-cache stats do not do the trick [10:55] ziroday plz im no good english :( [10:55] micca→ just remove the package with synaptic [10:55] micca: if you just remove the kernel pacckage with the package manager, grub will get updated automatically for you [10:55] Matr|X: what is your first language? [10:55] how i run it from the command line [10:55] ActionParsnip, What does it return for you? Could you pastebin it real quick? I thought you were on AMD [10:56] thank you magnetron and ikonia [10:56] arbic but im little english , but im new to ubuntu just two month [10:56] I am running ubuntu 8.04 and this is the third time in a week that my computer shut down suddenly, when I look in /var/crash : i don't find a report crash, dos that mean that this not a ubuntu crash ?

[10:57] ok [10:57] micca→ they have "linux" in their name [10:57] guys guys, how can I list the packages of a given repository [10:58] sudo apt-cache stats do not do the trick [10:58] :$ [10:58] malv: because the default locale is set to en_GB [10:58] vieq: you can view all packages available, not sure of filtering from which repo [10:58] ubottu, Matr|X : ubuntu-arabic is not active, please join #ubuntu-tn for the arabic support (it's the only official arabic LoCo team) [10:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about Matr [10:58] malv: http://blog.andrewbeacock.com/2007/01/how-to-change-your-default-locale-on.html [10:58] hi, I'm trying to put that script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/142659/ to crontab (*/5 * * * * cd path ; sudo ./script >> logfile) and it won't perform svn commands, output files are empty, yet thescript works if I launch it in the shell. What can I do to make it work, please, it is urgent case [10:59] k thanks ActionParsnip [10:59] fungin→ "sudo"? you can't put sudo in a cron job [10:59] wow no out output [10:59] H_M-Ubuntu: i get zero output [11:00] fungin: yes, no sudo, the script will run as the same user as cron, which is root if you are using the system /etc/crontab. also get rid of the cd and use the full path [11:00] magnetron: well, technically you can, and if the sudoers file says you can perform such-and-such without a password, it even works. :P [11:00] ActionParsnip, Oh really? (Sadness) [11:00] Hey all, Just install AMD64 on my upgraded rig. Trying to install the network card, now this has worked with i386 ive got the 64bit .inf but i'm getting this error. WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release [11:00] magnetron: not saying that's a good idea, but... [11:00] magnetron: I did that with other scripts that weren't working and theywork with sudo in cron [11:00] Well...... It works here!! So i'ma use [11:00] oh dear.. this is so bad... even with linux I can't seem to find it :( [11:00] #cagayandeorocity [11:03] micca: binary kernel packages start with linux-image- === geo_ is now known as geo05 [11:04] thx rytmis.. but isn't the search keyword context free (I mean shoudl work as a subset of the string) [11:04] scunizi: Hey bud [11:05] hello anyone from Europe? i want to test my DID number [11:05] hmmmmm... still says no match :/ [11:05] !ot | Daejeo [11:05] Daejeo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [11:05] micca: it should, far as I know. Are you using Synaptic or what? [11:06] ye i think so.. (the applications -> add/remove GUI) [11:06] I think that's Synaptic. I don't have an ubuntu here to try it with, though. :/ [11:06] and got all applications selected... ' ALL' is highlighted and i search for 'linux-image' [11:07] So you're looking for kernel packages in your list of installed packages? [11:07] ye i think it is.. but oddly enough it just won't show kernels .. don't know what I am doing wrong :/ [11:07] yes Rytmis [11:07] micca-> it uses sub string of name not description [11:07] !channels [11:07] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [11:07] (sounds uber noob.. then again> I am at this moment.. been 7 yrs since I wrote a shell script) [11:07] micca: I can't remember the GUI, but I do know the command line: dpkg -l | grep linux-image [11:08] quibbler, OK.. but what shoudl I do then.. and ok Rytmis let me get back to you on that one [11:08] anyone know the name of a good free partition program that works with windows, after you have installed windows using the whole disk? [11:08] yap.. showing them.. so how do i uninstall using dpkg? [11:08] allo [11:08] micca-> search for linux-image [11:08] micca: you uninstall using apt-get [11:08] quibbler .. I did.. nothing cam up [11:09] micca: apt-get remove packagename [11:09] ok so like apt-get uninstall kernel-image-name ye? [11:09] thx [11:09] :D [11:09] :) [11:09] ill get back to you on that one [11:09] (hope i get the right onew ;p) [11:10] how to speak french here ? [11:10] !fr | robindesbois05 [11:10] robindesbois05: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [11:10] merci thanks [11:10] micca-> apt-cache search linux-image [11:11] ok got 27.7.16, 27-11.14 and 27 I guess i only need thelatest ye? [11:11] quibbler: dpkg -l is better if you want to list the packages you've got installed. :) [11:11] thank you quibbler : that would be in a terminal ye [11:11] * Rytmis quibbles with quibbler [11:11] Anyone point me in the direction of a good free partition prog that allows me to partition after windows has been installed using the whole disk. I need to put Ubuntu on there. [11:11] micca: I didn't catch the reason you were doing this [11:12] alright... a BUNCH came up there (a subset of the various flavours of each version) [11:12] Rytmis-> you are right ...i,m just say what i know ..but still learning thankyou [11:12] Rytmis, I updated ubuntu.. and have a newer kernel... I would like o remove the older ones simply for logistics.. dont want them in grub and dont want them taking space [11:12] Jimi_Neutral: I seem to recall GParted does a fair job, and as it happens it's a part of the Ubuntu livecd installer. [11:13] micca: in that case, verify your running kernel version with uname -r [11:13] rytmis: it's ok and sane right to get rid of them?? [11:13] oki [11:13] Rytmis: Ty very much :) [11:13] micca: and then make sure you don't remove that version. :) [11:13] yes i know im running latest cos it has become the default grub entry i run [11:13] Jimi_Neutral: pay attention during partitioning, though. :) [11:13] 有人讲中文吗？？？ [11:13] OH CRAP [11:13] THANKS Rytmis im actually running 27.11 lol and not the 27.27 or something [11:13] !cn | clg_ [11:13] clg_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [11:14] Rytmis: WIll it be an option that i see when i boot from CD live? [11:14] sheesh.. so why did I get na updated kernel.. two of them and its running the intermediate one :o [11:14] Jimi_Neutral: I have no idea if the default is to resize the existing partition or just wipe'em all, so look before you leap. [11:14] Rytmis-> beter yet: dpkg -l | grep linux-image [11:14] rytmis: thanks for t hat little advice.. I would of removed wrong one surely :x [11:14] quibbler: that's the exact command I gave micca [11:14] Jimi_Neutral: http://www.howtoadvice.com/ResizePartition/ [11:14] quibbler, indeed he did ;) [11:14] Rytmis: Thanks again :) [11:15] micca: strange that you should be running an older kernel. Have you rebooted since you upgraded? [11:15] yes.. was when I installed ubuntu a day ago [11:15] Rytmis-> thanks again...learning everyday! [11:15] i have ubuntu server 8.1 2 ethernet cards i want to select the secode one how do i did this????????????????????,, [11:15] micca: I wonder if the grub configuration just has you booting with an older kernel. [11:16] hello [11:16] rytmis: MY BAD ... stupdi me completely misreading the entries... yes... im running latest kernel 27-11 [11:16] the old ones are 8 and 9 or 7 and 9 [11:16] micca: well, now you know. :) [11:16] i have ubuntu server 8.1 2 ethernet cards i want to select the secode one how do i did this???????????????????? [11:17] zilleplus__: easy on the question marks. Please explain what you mean by "select the second one". [11:17] rytmis : :) yes... ok here goes : pt-get remove linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic [11:17] hi [11:17] hi [11:17] at ubuntu i tried to install LBM [11:17] just found out XAMP doesn't support ubuntu, darn! [11:17] and it makes my linux become 2.6.27-11 right? [11:18] I have a problem with samba. When I try to copy something to the share (mounted with mount -cifs ) it tells my "permission denied". If I copy again I can overwrite it and it works. [11:18] rytmis: or to get rid of all 3 (server, generic, virtual) do i do apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.27-7-* [11:18] i have 10 mpeg videos that i want to put onto a dvd which will autoplay.. point me in the right direction? [11:18] micca: you have to list them separately, because the wildcard is a shell thing, and it only matches files in your current working directory. [11:18] I guess there's no easier way to install mysql, php & apache on ubuntu desktop? [11:18] micca: far as I know, anyway. [11:19] NoTiTo: install the php5, mysql-server and apache2 packages in the package manager, it's that simple [11:19] So I don't think permissions are the problem. The problem occures, when I try to copy more than just files. When I copy a folder at the first copy only the folder is copied. At the overwrite the files are copied. [11:19] NoTiTo: use a tasksel [11:19] rytmis: ye.. not exactly the hardest work... cheers.. will get back to you on any destruction 10 thumbs do [11:19] What do I wrong? I have no idea. [11:19] NoTiTo: sudo apt-get install mysql-server libapache2-mod-php5 [11:19] Hi [11:19] * Rytmis grins [11:20] NoTiTo: the latter of the two packages should pull in all the dependencies for Apache and PHP. [11:20] I've reported this NIS server bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nis/+bug/353698 Anyone already had the issue before? I would like to fix the problem asap :-/ [11:20] NoTiTo: however, that's just the "install" phase. It doesn't *configure* them. :) [11:21] NoTiTo: maybe that helps, maybe not. [11:21] oooh this is sooo exciting :P compared to my first laptop ever (medion unbranded crap) and mandrake 8 or 6 or something (first time i ever used linux) .. spent 3 months getting xwindows to work .. had i know branded laptops were os much easier sigh [11:21] * Rytmis stomps off to a meeting. [11:21] this apt-get thing is just amazing.. weeee debian === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [11:21] see you Rytmis : thank you for your time [11:22] Hi all. Please help me install ubuntu to USB HDD. I am having /dev/sdb1 10 GB reiserfs and CREATE A USB STARTUP DISK is not detecting it? Please tell me how should I partition the HDD??? [11:22] whats funny is I HATE UAC in windows.. never use it.. yet the equivalent sudo gui prompt here in ubuntu is just so intuitively nice [11:23] I guess cos its just when doing install packages etc.. [11:23] micca: the gksudo way is better [11:23] USB disk to use remains empty. The utility is not detecting my HDD :( [11:23] micca: UAC you got to press more confirms [11:23] yup [11:23] I've reported this NIS server bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nis/+bug/353698 Anyone already had the issue before? I would like to fix the problem asap :-/ [11:23] UAC i turn off ALWAYS [11:23] micca: and UAC can even crash remote connection apps, gksudo won't [11:23] never use it [11:23] ikonia aaahhh [11:23] sorry for double post ! [11:23] micca, sudo is better implemented and more mature than the UAC [11:23] Rymtis how diif is the sudo command from package manager? same thing? [11:23] in fact.. I even run as an admin [11:24] Anybody? [11:24] as my standard accoutn btu i have never got trojans, viruses or anything like that the time i used vista [11:24] ShackTiDe, PM me [11:24] Chowder, , sebsebseb : i agree with you already after one day... this has an entirely different philosophy behind it and it shows [11:24] :) [11:24] Chowder: yeah sudo has been around since like 1979 [11:25] indeed [11:25] sebsebseb, yet all my time on linux in the past i always used su instead [11:25] I'm having some serious problems with the catalyst 9.3 graphics driver which prevents me from logging in to ubuntu. If someone has a moment to spare, could you perhaps give me some advice? [11:25] micca: UAC is for Windows users, that will install malware, but a lot of them will just end up pressing ok on it anyway, well they done something a bit better with Windows7, but in general Desktop Linux does all the technical stuff right, where as Windows dosan't quite [11:25] then again.. i would stay extensively on the root account.. and tbh.. i did screw up my share of systems lol... im finding ubuntu soo refreshing.. THANK YOU ubuntu developers xxx [11:26] Chowder I think I should be registered to write to you personally :( I am not at the moment [11:26] hey === bradk is now known as _bradk [11:26] micca: and in general Linux servers, are probably better than Windows server, but that would be going off topic [11:26] sebsebseb, can't agree with you more.. I always wanted to stay on linux.. but truth is.. I do like that things get easily installed.. 5 6 yrs ago and just every little thing always needed a lot of writing and crap in linux [11:26] is there any way I can install a big pack of assorted emerald themes instead of one by one? [11:26] ShackTiDe, check your PM [11:27] micca: yeah well with Ubuntu if you know the program you want to install just open up a terminal and: sudo apt-get install program [11:27] always wanted linux to come a lil closer to windows in terms of gui and out of box ability.. now in these past yrs i see it has become so.. [11:27] micca: and as long as your Internet connected, it will download and install it for you just like that [11:27] ubuntu is like this imo.. plus one gets all the benefits of a beteter os [11:27] sebsebseb, thats what im just finding out.. and boy oh boy am i excited :) [11:27] micca: well no OS has all the better benefits, because they all vary [11:28] micca: ,but sure in general Ubuntu will be better than Windows, for most computer users, they just don't know it [11:28] I really use Ubuntu for serious work [11:28] I found my old iPod. Which software can I use on Ubuntu to change the music? :o [11:28] I stripped out all the games [11:28] micca: except for some apps, where they will still need Windows, because it was say a 3D Windows game [11:28] sebsebseb, im already feeling windows finally being something i dont really need (i was beta testing w7 now.. but tbh.. its as typical bollox as windows always is) [11:28] I only still use XP to play Magic World Online. I can't live without it [11:28] Chowder: 3D or 2D? [11:28] sebsebseb, yup.. but i on purpose chose a laptop with NO fricking gfx.. it annoys me.. but keepsme in check ;) [11:28] natsukashi_, the latest version of Banshee works nice for me , but you can also use GTKPod [11:29] what the difference between ubuntu and freebsd ? [11:29] i was trying actually to install civ 4 yesterday.. really owuld like it on here.. but it failed :( [11:29] motorolas: good question, Ubuntu is Debian based [11:29] ubuntu is linux, freebsd is bsd [11:29] sebsebseb, 2D [11:29] won't run in Wine [11:29] leachim6: thanks. :) [11:29] I tried [11:29] yes [11:29] i know that [11:29] motorolas: yeah FreeBSD is BSD so diffenret kernel instead of Linux [11:29] Ubuntu is a Debian-based GNU + Linux operating system... Freebsd is Freebsd... derived from the BSD codebase. [11:29] I want to remove a package, checking at each step no file that I need should be removed (long story, I really need this). I double checked man apt-get, I can't find any 'verbose' options/step by step options. How can I do this? [11:29] Chowder: ok if your computer has enough RAM, you can virtual machine that [11:29] Chowder: Windows virtual machine inside Ubuntu [11:29] Chowder, sebsebseb : btw.. any ideas on vic 4 installation by any chance? [11:30] micca: what's that? [11:30] sebsebseb, done that too and its way too slow. [11:30] Chowder: how much RAM? [11:30] Chowder: which virtual machine app? [11:30] civilization 4 [11:30] does anyone has analyse which has better performance between ubuntu and freebsd ? [11:31] Hi. Which button restores menu in XChat IRC? [11:31] motorolas: depends on the computer they are running on [11:31] i don't think you have the ability it takes to use freebsd motorolas. [11:31] motorolas, it depends on which performance.. if generally speaking, they both will have [11:31] what tools / sw do u recommend I install on my ubuntu? [11:31] so it might be best to stick with ubuntu/debian [11:31] btw I'm a php developer [11:31] NoTiTo: good question :) [11:31] NoTiTo: you will want LAMP that's for sure [11:31] !lamp [11:31] 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+) [11:32] notito: maybe search google with ubuntu + php-keyword of interest to your needs? [11:32] sebsebseb, I used virtualbox and I have 2GB. I have WinXP 1GB to use [11:32] sebsebseb, dont tell me you dont know civilisation???? :O [11:33] Chowder: ok if you give the virtualmachine to much virtual RAM, you will get problems [11:33] micca: some sort of game/ [11:33] ? === Devastatt is now known as Devastatorius [11:33] hmm so maybe i should keep vista? or could i run a virtual box inside linux to run vista/xp in to play games? (I noticed my virtual machines were much slower when i ran them in vista.. ps this laptop has very good memory) [11:34] micca: are your games 2D or 3D? [11:34] micca: and how much RAM do you have? [11:34] sebsebseb, hihihih.. you nut :P sid meier's civ series 1-3 were classics evenon linux i believe... civ 4 ye is 3d and all that and so i guess has stayed more on windows [11:34] wiifinet [11:34] Windows 3D games in a virtual machine, forget about it at this stage, altough some of the programs are getting suppourt [11:35] sebsebseb, 3D turn based games. I love and adventure games (king's quest, etc)... 4 MB ram. 1067 MHZ bus.. + 3 MB L2 cache [11:35] games [11:35] My network card that I am using for dbrl suddenly says it is unmanaged...any idea what that could be? [11:35] Can I use Ubuntu remix on standard laptop [11:35] its pretty decent for a laptop I think [11:35] sebsebseb, I tried with 512 as well [11:35] I want to install on my dads laptop [11:35] Wine and 3D games or commercial versions of it, may work depending on game etc. and soon Crossover Games is meant to have proper Directx10 suppourt [11:35] all the combinations were no good [11:35] Chowder: ok maybe you should try Qemu or Kqemu even [11:35] !qemu [11:35] qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [11:35] !kqmeu [11:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about kqmeu [11:35] Can I use Ubuntu remix on standard laptop ..........I want use it on Dads 15 inch centrino laptop with 1 gb ram [11:35] kqemu makes qemu faster basicalley [11:35] sebsebseb, hmm I tried with wine yesterday and downloaded erm linuxplay or something [11:35] pake bhs indonesia donk [11:36] but didnt work out :/ [11:36] gopogo: yes you can probably install it there [11:36] Can I use Ubuntu remix on standard laptop ..........I want use it on Dads 15 inch centrino laptop with 1 gb ram [11:36] playonlinux i think [11:36] Can I use Ubuntu remix on standard laptop ..........I want use it on Dads 15 inch centrino laptop with 1 gb ram [11:36] Can I use Ubuntu remix on standard laptop ..........I want use it on Dads 15 inch centrino laptop with 1 gb ram [11:36] gopogo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:36] sebsebseb, believe me I want to have a computer that only uses Linux but Wine doesn't work with it and virtualization doesn't cut it [11:36] so I'll stick to my dualboot :) [11:36] Chowder: ok well quite a few diffenret virtual machine programs you can try :) [11:36] I know, I used to use qemu for Plan9 [11:37] how about VMware? [11:37] 1 2 [11:37] ARG...... suddenly totem has stopped working with any movie files :/ [11:37] hi people [11:37] Chowder: VMware? [11:37] nope [11:37] i don't succeed to get in the mysql channel [11:37] :( [11:37] * sebsebseb oh it will be great when Codeweavers has proper Directx10 suppourt [11:38] sebsebseb, I listed my ram.. do you think running like eg. vmware inside linux and runnig xp on it would be good for 3D games? [11:38] Can I use Ubuntu remix on standard laptop ..........I want use it on Dads 15 inch centrino laptop with 1 gb ram [11:38] don't you have to pay for that? [11:38] can UNR run on non atom cpu like centrino [11:38] gopogo: we already said probably [11:38] micca: no [11:38] !repeate [11:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about repeate [11:38] gopogo: stop flooding the channel with your question! [11:39] gopogo, I say you just do a minimal install and customize it to your dad's needs [11:39] ok ikonia: so I need to keep a windows OS for the games then ye? SIGH [11:39] one day.. one day... linux will finally have it all [11:39] micca: for now [11:39] micca: my personal stance is use software on the platform they will intended to run [11:39] micca: ,but I already said about Codeweavers :) [11:39] micca, yes, when big companies start paying attention to Linux. [11:40] ikonia: true , but shame games liek that are not intended ot run on linux ;) sebsebseb: ye , we have been saying that for how many years? ;) [11:40] micca: so don't run them on linux [11:40] sebsebseb: lol [11:40] hello world [11:40] Chowder, its amazing they dotn yet... at least so many schools (at least in europe) are starting to use oipen source in stead WEEE [11:40] micca: well I read a pretty recant article, that it is coming soon in Codeweavers Games [11:40] Question: I am trying to develop a website (multiple pages) -- trying to be smart and efficient about the job, so trying to use templates and css. I downloaded Screem, but it just keeps crashing and it has no user support. I was wondering are there any scripts (shell/etc...) that I can use to automatically update a website after altering the template?? [11:40] my dad is 50 yr phd whith 5 degree and he finds normal interface hard to use [11:40] anyone familiar with the asus eee netbooks? I have installed ubuntu on my eee901 but I'm not sure if i made a mistake when i deleted the second partition because when it boots now it just instantly boots into ubuntu, i cant even choose the boot drive! Is it possible that the bios was stored on the SSD? IMO that sounds incredibly stupid but I'm afraid I've overwritten it [11:40] :-( [11:40] micca have some stuff off prof. google, wanted to check with u too, to add to list [11:40] micca: maybe you should look at native Linux games, there are some pretty good ones [11:40] ikonia: its just that I would like to be able to abandon windows altogether.. but hey.. soemtimes its nice to play a beautiful 3d game too :) [11:41] ghamdan: you want a cms like wordpress/etomite/jamoola etc [11:41] micca, I'm a teacher's assistant. I've been trying to get the school board to adopt Linux. But they're idiots [11:41] * sebsebseb won't buy Windows games anymore, and piracy is wrong [11:41] micca: keep it for games, it's no big deal [11:41] i wish ubuntu interface was like gos [11:41] gopogo: I think you can get a theme [11:41] sebsebseb, some Linux games are utter garbage, though [11:41] gopogo: im happy it isnt :) [11:41] ikonia: I'll look them up thanks [11:42] Chowder: how about getting a games console instead? [11:42] ikonia: ye.. sigh.. but no big deal... it takes space on me laptop and just SIGH :) but I hear ya [11:42] Chowder: well anything, but Xbox :) [11:42] sebsebseb, I have a PS2 at the moment [11:42] I just had the worst dream ever, aliens were attacking... [11:42] sebsebseb i play lots of linux games ye xx [11:42] LOL X_ [11:42] it was so vivid [11:42] i think of writting my own WM which cloud and dad friendly [11:42] x_: thats nothing to do with ubuntu, please remember this channel is for ubuntu support [11:42] chowder: dont give up ;p [11:42] gopogo: ok - please do so === mafsi is now known as mafsi`away [11:43] !away > mafsi`away [11:43] mafsi`away, please see my private message [11:43] micca, lol [11:43] ikonia: in my dream, they hacked my ubuntu server.. [11:43] x_: please stop [11:43] notwist: I really can NOT see how the bios secton could be overwritten!!! [11:43] hey how can i readd the auto update thing to my gnome panels? [11:43] micca: are you familiar with easy peasy? [11:43] notwist: lol... [11:43] ikonia: chill out mattie matt matt , just a dream [11:43] micca: anyway there's a disk called "BIOS" on the desktop and I can't mount it [11:44] x_: last warning. Stop - now [11:44] micca: on the "home page" whatever applet crap they have [11:44] notwist... if you wan tto get your bios back you could reset the mobo battery [11:44] !offtopic > x_ [11:44] x_, please see my private message [11:44] oh you have a laptop.. guess you dont want to open it [11:44] at ubuntu i tried to install LBM and my kernel become 2.6.27-11??thats right track or not? [11:44] Chowder: if enough gamers, complained to the games companies about not making for Linux, then they would listen, but no they continue to suppourt Windows games instead by playing them [11:44] wanna_learn_more: lbm ? [11:44] ikonia: blow me...I work for a hosting company, you can't ban thousands of IP's [11:44] can UNR run on non atom cpu like centrino ? [11:45] sebsebseb, well I wrote a few emails to the devs that produce Magic World Online to see if they could make a Linux port and they said that they'll think about it [11:45] sebsebseb, : in all honesty, I think since linux has been around for so long, and companies havent done much.. it is a fact, the community little by little have to code and prepare linux for the 3d kind of support [11:45] Chowder: which basically means they won't, because that's what business people are like, if they say stuff like that :D [11:45] the day linux offers a platform for the regular user (in this case ' gamer' ) to add that to linux.. the ocmpanies will seriously start lending thought to that area I think [11:46] linux is a marginal desktop currently, so its not really strange games are not ported much.. [11:46] the problem is that companies today use development tools from Microsoft and porting things over to Linux isn't always that easy [11:46] micca: people will not develop games for linux while there is no stable gaming video card support [11:46] micca: so it is pointless to discuss it until that happens [11:46] sebsebseb, its a free MMORPG, what business? [11:46] ikonia: I guess that is what I was just saying too [11:46] Chowder: oh ok [11:47] hi, how can I see which kernel I'm on? [11:47] ikonia: well yeah graphics card drivers and xorg hummmm, but your saying there is no proper Linux graphics card suppourt? or you mean they can't do Directx when it comes to Linux only OpenGL? [11:47] I guess for excitement, instead of civ 4 or something.. i'll just squeeze and twist my nipples a bit then ^^ [11:47] uname -r [11:47] agion: uname -r [11:47] sebsebseb: no, I mean there is no stable interaction available for performance video cards in linux [11:47] is there good widgets for Gnome? is it necessary compiz for them? [11:48] sebsebseb: if we/the others jump into #ubuntu-offtopic it would be a good discussion [11:48] sebsebseb, definitely, direcx is a microsoft only technology.. [11:48] micca: tyvm! [11:48] guys want to take this to offtopic? [11:48] oh eaglescreen , good question: I just installed this.. and i love the wobbly windows.. but i also saw exploding windows when closing all that.. how do i get all these things? [11:48] Hi who was it earlier that pointed me to qtparted? Because the synaptic packagame manager in jaunty is not finding it [11:48] agion : np, rytmis gave it to me just a while ago [11:48] OpenGL has to catch up to DirectX [11:48] :D [11:48] but many games already use OpenGL and they're all pretty good [11:48] micca, choder, and ikonia, want to take this to #ubuntu-offtopic? [11:49] going there now [11:49] Hi, who was it that pointed me to qtparted earlier....because the tutorial is telling me to download it but synaptics is not finding it [11:49] sorry sebsebseb [11:49] Is there a deb for oracle database? [11:49] micca: don't applogize to me, maybe apologize to ikonia though sine he is the op [11:49] I'm looking for a way to remove a package without removing configuration files. How can I do this ?? [11:49] Jimi_Neutral qtparted is out of jaunty [11:49] guys, nothing to say sorry for, just move it to #ubuntu-offtopic to continue a good discussion [11:49] ye but he is also in the topic : i went to that channel though.. alll empty ;) [11:50] EagleScreen: so what do i use? [11:50] use gparted [11:50] NicDumZ: sudo aptitude remove package [11:50] can I convert unr iso to usb img ? [11:50] EagleScreen: Ok ty [11:50] hi. any idea how to reset/reconfigure the keyboard layout? [11:51] (e.g. which package that is( [11:51] oh eaglescreen , good question: I just installed this.. and i love the wobbly windows.. but i also saw exploding windows when closing all that.. how do i get all these things? [11:51] Trying to install easy_install on a python2.5 system. Have installed python2.4, but each time I run 'sudo python2.4 ez_setup.py' as non-root, its installing it to /usr/bin/ not /usr/bin/python2.4! Any ideas? Have set pythonpath in .bashrc ... [11:51] mintsauce: try having a mint? [11:51] Ok, network-manager-pptp is pretty fucked in jaunty, but apparently there is a way to make it work if I deny it access to the keyring. The problem is that I've already allowed it access. How do I remove that access? [11:51] micca: join #ubuntu-offtopic please [11:52] micca: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [11:52] (ye.. i joined earlier the one u gave but had a Qmark behind it, and so I thought it was empty) [11:52] thank you clearscreen [11:53] one more question in that relation clearscreen : when I update all these packages.. and want to keep my system backed up (i.e. I would reinstall and didnt want to go through the whole rememebring what to download, configuring etc), how do I go about and saving all? [11:55] micca: user specific settings are saved in your homefolder, they are often hidden folders though (starting with a .) ... just open nautilus, browse to your home folder, and hit CTRL+H [11:55] thanks Ubersoldat, worked perfect. I was looking for something printing exactly #what# was removed, but couldnt find it. However aptitude was okay for that time [11:55] how do u integrate a mailing list with a working plone site [11:55] micca: those are just settings though, I'm afraid you're gonna have to redownload the packages again [11:56] So nobody knows how to edit the list of apps that can access your keyring? [11:57] does anyone here know how to integrate a mailing list with a localhost server [11:57] ? [11:58] leachim6: How do I import songs to my iPod in Banshee? ;_; [12:00] hello [12:00] Can I ask something? [12:01] just ask [12:01] !ask | maniere [12:01] maniere: 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. :-) [12:01] clearscreen: I lately was using somethign called WAIK in vista.. to slipstream it.. and also used a audit mode to install everything as I want it... (like all the basic programs and updates) booted back into oobe (out of box final state) and made a 'recovery' image.. is there not a way to do this in linux somewhat similarly in principle? [12:01] micca: probably, I wouldn't know how though :P [12:01] :) [12:01] anyone else?? [12:02] micca: what do you want to do? make a snapshot of a working install? [12:02] I am brand new user to Linux OS, and I have Ubuntu installed. I tried to access windows live ID in order to check mail but I get the following message: [12:02] JavaScript requis pour la connexion [12:02] Windows Live ID nécessite JavaScript pour la connexion. Ce navigateur Web ne prend pas en charge JavaScript ou les scripts sont bloqués.

[12:02] maniere_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:02] maniere_: ok which browser? and is javascript enabled [12:03] hbekel: yes , if it means when i reapply that snapshot. I would nto have to redownload and reset a lot of things [12:03] Using Firefox. And I have checked and java and javascript are enabled [12:03] scunizi: You awake bud? [12:03] maniere_: there have been other issues with Hotmail in the past, for Desktop Linux users [12:04] maniere_: Microsoft don't like Desktop Linux that much you see [12:04] hbekel: yes , if it means when i reapply that snapshot. I would nto have to redownload and reset a lot of things [12:04] maniere_: and when Desktop Linux get problems with anything that is MSN, it's always qustionable, if Microsoft did it on purpouse or not [12:04] I see... [12:05] maniere_: you can try another browser, or a new Firefox profile [12:05] could you walk me through it? [12:05] Has anyone ever had a problem with ubuntu not booting with new kernels? [12:05] for the new profile? [12:05] I got some advice yesterday about dual booting. Once my partition is done the guy said to add more partitions for ubuntu itself...3 i think he said but i cant remember what for.....could anyone guide me in this matter please? [12:05] maniere_: ,but at least two of the browsers, that are also good for Linux :) well Hotmail won't detect them properly, so tell people to upgrade, even though they use the same rendering engine as Firefox to display pages [12:05] the originaly kernel installed with 8.10 works all other new ones don't [12:06] maniere_: the Firefox profile is where your bookmarks and all Firefox user data goes, you understand? [12:06] micca: you could simply use dd from a livecd to make a snapshot of your (unmounted) root partition [12:06] I don't understant... [12:06] It's either black screen or distorted image on bootup then greeze [12:06] is webkitkde in ubuntu repo ? [12:06] NoTiTo: yes, the command is equivalent to selecting the packages from the package manager. [12:06] understand* [12:06] maniere_: user settings for Firefox go in a Firefox profile [12:06] hbekel? dd? unmounted root? ok so .. my settings are stored in the /home partition.. but I cant make separate snapshots of them or? [12:07] I guess I could export the settings from home.. into a file.. make a snapshot of / and just run the file after applying image ye? [12:07] maniere_: have you got any bookmarks or anything you want to keep saved in Firefox yet? ,because if you do and you delete the profile, you lose that [12:07] understood [12:07] hbekel: meant to you the above line [12:08] hbekel.. what did I do? I typed dd in terminal and now its just running hihihih dont tell me ill get a massive image now somewhere :p [12:08] no that I am aware of :) [12:08] when I look in Aptitude, I see 3 kernels: linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic, linux-image-2.6.27-11-server and linux-image-2.6.27-7-server. After a reboot, I'll use the Server kernel, how can I remove the generic kernel and does it require a reboot before I can remove it? [12:08] maniere_: once the profile has been removed, when you re open Firefox, it will be like you got a cleanly installed Firefox again [12:08] micca: DONT run dd blindly, read the man page [12:09] Do I manually remove the profile or is there a button I can click? [12:09] micca: i'm just pointing out the generic way to image partitions in unix, you'll have to think for yourself [12:09] maniere_: ok every program you use in Ubuntu, will put program user data, in hidden .folders in home === hmw_ is now known as hmw [12:10] hbekel: maybe you should find some backup tool to do this [12:10] maniere_: so the programs themselves, don't normally need to be re installed, because if you get issues you just delete/move the program user data folder [12:10] maniere_: understand? and your French aren't you? [12:10] i just installed vsftp, logged in as ftp user, tried to open a symlink i created to www, i get remote chdir failed.... any ideas? [12:10] hbekel.. ye i killed it... and it said 0 kbytes copied :) [12:11] After enabling some of the neat compiz graphic effects, for some reason, FIrefox no longer opens with its window borders. It's like a fullscreen mode. And at first it was doing this weird thing where it became the desktop wallpaper. How can I get the border back? [12:11] micca: if you don't know what a command does, don't run it [12:11] Any users of Clonezilla here with soem timeo n thier hands? [12:11] hbekel: im a risktaker ;p no .. kidding aside.. hmm can it copy though folders and whole partitions in that way .. makling a snapshot as you say? [12:12] maniere_: if you don't want to chat here, you can private message [12:12] ..... [12:12] ok? [12:12] maniere_: there is also a french channel, but I think I can help you so :) [12:12] yes [12:12] :) [12:13] *micca puts on some pink potato slippers [12:13] hmm forgot the whole thing :p [12:13] My firefox browser isn't behaving like a normal window. It's lost its window borders and once even behaved like the desktop wallpaper (appearing on each workspace). This all started since I enabled many of the compiz effects. [12:15] micca: you'd better look for a specific tool to do that for you [12:15] enigma: maybe it is in full screen mode... hit f11 twice [12:15] erUSUL, I'll give that a shot. [12:16] erUSUL, it was not in fullscreen mode, but putting it in fullscreen mode and then exiting again somehow fixed it. Thank you. [12:17] enigma: no problem [12:17] enigma: i know it is not exactly full screen that's why i asked to hit f11 twice... happened many times to me [12:18] since I switched from windows to ubuntu I have a slow and unstable internet broadband connection. anyone have an idea of why? [12:18] ok how would I start a app from the term with out it taking over the term window? [12:18] erUSUL, oh. Do you happen to know exactly why that happens? Or is it just one of those funny little bugs with a funny little solution? [12:19] so how can I use the root as user and deaktivat the command sudo in ubuntu?

[12:21] sebsebseb: no I dont think so [12:22] freddy__: maybe you got a stupid bank website, that has been made for IE :( [12:22] freddy__: altough Java would help to make something cross platform [12:22] <_spm_Draget> How realistic is it to get an ubuntu 5.10 (breezy badger) to authenticate at an up-to-date openldap?

[12:22] sebsebseb: I have asked on some linux mailinglists and they can get it to work [12:23] _spm_Draget: woah that's the second release of Ubuntu, that's not been suppourted for a rather long time, as a result you shoudn't be using it anymore [12:23] _spm_Draget: we also do not suppourt it here anymore [12:24] freddy__: maybe try another browser. Opera or something [12:24] <_spm_Draget> sebsebseb: I know it is rediculely old. But my boss forces me to not touch this system as in installing a recent ubuntu. Yet we upgraded from nis to ldap and I need to get this system into ldap [12:24] <_spm_Draget> I hate this descision of my boss too =( [12:24] sebsebseb: if I go to this site: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp it says that it is working and the newest [12:25] _spm_Draget: ok your boss is a right idiot at computers, but maybe not 100%, because for whatever reason you got an old Ubuntu there [12:26] freddy__: try another Firefox profile or another browser [12:26] <_spm_Draget> sebsebseb: yeah. I am opening some ubuntu ldap tutorials and see how for I come... I fear that this will be a looong day =( [12:26] sebsebseb: ok [12:26] wow... [12:26] fbunny: wow... at what?

Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [12:38] I have a problem with samba. When I try to copy something to the share (mounted with mount -cifs ) it tells my "permission denied". If I copy again I can overwrite it and it works. [12:39] So I don't think permissions are the problem. The problem occures, when I try to copy more than just files. When I copy a folder at the first copy only the folder is copied. At the overwrite the files are copied. [12:39] Newbee: when you do that are you using sudo or not? === Alive is now known as AliveIAM [12:39] ikonia: What do you think?

[12:43] Dubaschu: if your not using the real time clock you can ignore it [12:43] how do I get the source for gdm setup?

[13:03] thefeds1: pam needs to be set to allow root to login through a graphical gui without a password [13:03] ActionParsnip it's an USB sound card... not pci === Hiei_Jagan is now known as Bad_Yusuke [13:03] Python is the most used I think [13:04] Aberration2: lsusb [13:04] Cl0p1n: C, C++, python, Bash, java [13:04] simplexio: cool thx [13:04] Is that in order, Actionparsnip [13:04] Cl0p1n: no they are just widely used [13:04] Hmm okay. [13:04] ActionParsnip: why do some people have to have such weird characters in their name, like that guy, makes auto complete harder [13:05] Cl0p1n: use the one that suits your needs [13:05] thefeds1: you can't. It's hard-coded into gdm. And like I said, it's not a good idea. It's also completely unnecessary [13:05] ActionParsnip: the response is mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /media/stick busy [13:05] sebsebseb: no idea, maybe its "cool" [13:05] ActionParsnip: still permission denied . [13:05] Well thanks. I still ahve to figure out how to program GUIs, but thanks folks (: [13:05] sebsebseb, dont know [13:05] thefeds1: so all you have to do now is hack the gdm source and recompile [13:05] Cl0p1n, you will probably need to look up GTK and stuff like that [13:05] Bram_P: ok if you run mount do you see /dev/sdb1 ? [13:05] Ienorand, well middle mouse worked ot move the 2 sides 3d mode.. btu its not a cube [13:05] ActionParsnip: do you think a file system problem is possible? [13:05] Cl0p1n: python is pretty decent [13:05] just like an A4 paper with each side being one desktop (i got 2) [13:06] also for GUI programming? [13:06] Newbee: doubtful [13:06] ActionParsnip: I see this: /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) [13:06] Cl0p1n: there are bindings for all of the toolkits in any of the popular languages === curti is now known as curt [13:06] why gdm, why [13:06] WHY [13:07] thefeds1: ? [13:07] why do you restrict me [13:07] thefeds1, please stop repeating. [13:07] just like drm [13:07] micca: you have a flippy, in general options -> deskto psize change horizontal virtual size to 4 instead of 2 [13:07] thefeds1: follow the link I gave you [13:07] thefeds1: it explains what to do with gdm, and with libraries like pam to allow you to do what you want [13:07] does anyone have the latest version of compiz fusion installed? [13:07] curt: i do [13:08] Bram_P: thats not sdb1 [13:08] ActionParsnip: so do have an idea where the root of the problem could lie ? [13:08] ActionParsnip: Make panel menu trasparent: [13:08] Open compiz manager- Advanced Desktop Effects [13:08] click on General [13:08] click on Opacity Settings tab [13:08] click on new [13:08] curt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:08] Opacity Windows field shoule be: name=gnome-terminal [13:09] ActionParsnip: oops sorry, well this one: /dev/sdb1 on /media/stick type vfat (rw) [13:09] <[I> I have learned to live with my [13:09] [I: do you have an ubuntu support question, yes/no ? [13:09] ActionParsnip, thanks... seems i got some ring mode instead though , as its on a cylinder hehe [13:10] <[I> What are thrWhat are three words you have never said to a robot?ee words you have never said to a robot? [13:10] Bram_P: then its mounted [13:10] Bram_P: cd /media/stick; ls [13:10] weird.. when I do 2x2 (2 vertical 2 horizontal though.. i still only get the flip thing hmmm ) [13:11] micca: that would be the cube deformation option under effects [13:12] ok thx and was curt answering me ? lol sorry curt :p [13:12] Hi...................... [13:12] ActionParsnip: I can see all the files when using that command, all of them are green, except 2, they are typed in blue [13:12] micca: horizontal 2 will give you 2 sides, 4 sides is a cube [13:13] blue is a folder, green is a file that is yours [13:13] micca: you want 4x horizontal virtual size for cube [13:13] how do I test whether my initramfs supports my sata controller? [13:13] Bram_P: you can also use nautilus et al in the same place to use a gui app to manage the files [13:13] what's the name of the package that provides completely automatic updating of servers? [13:13] ActionParsnip: ok, but how can I make it be shown on my desktop again? [13:14] Ienorand, i disabled the cube dformation thign but i still only get a flip of one page with 2x2 desktops [13:14] ah OK [13:14] thank you both.. sorry action, Ienorand just saw yoru replies [13:14] Bram_P: i think theres a setting in gconf-editor to show mounted volumes on desktop, let me see if i can websearch it. i dont use gnome myself. [13:15] why are my package downlaods so slow [13:15] is that normal? [13:15] Bram_P: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/10/25/hide-partition-icons-from-your-ubuntu-desktop/ [13:15] Jimi_Neutral: maybe the server is getting hammered, or your ISP is doing something which is degrading your service [13:15] ActionParsnip, thanks for the help, it worked. My temperatures all show up. [13:16] Jimi_Neutral: you could reboot your router (if you use one) [13:16] H_M-Ubuntu: np bro [13:16] Oh dear.. I can't move this xchat window !!! its stuck and the top is hiding beneath the top taskbar! :/ [13:16] and does anyone know how to troubleshoot totem in ubuntu? It was workign fine with videos , i installed vlc but now i cant see movies in totem , it just greys out :( [13:16] micca: hold alt and drag? [13:16] ActionParsnip: must be the server gettign hammered. Im at work and i can download from the M$ website fine [13:17] thank you vega.. uff normally they are fine when i just click on them.. such a noob I am :/ [13:17] Jimi_Neutral: there you go then ;) [13:17] vega: yes it worked X [13:18] The weird thing is tho I downloaded partimage yesterday but when i go thru this tutorial again to use clonezilla and run this line to check all the software it needs is installed it says partimage isnt [13:18] ActionParsnip: that is about how to hide them... I need to have them show up on my desktop and activate when I put them in. [13:18] there are too many things i need to know to get this damn thing working, im never gonna get it done [13:18] how come apt-get says I have latest version of python when the version is 2.51 ... lastest is 2.61? is it looking for laest v of 2.5x? [13:19] shambat: latest in the repositories [13:19] shambat: no it is looking for the last version aviable on the repos [13:19] shambat: Ubuntu only does security updates, for newer programs you intall yourself, or wait for a later release [13:19] shambat: of Ubuntu [13:19] shambat: programs on repos are only updated with security fixes [13:19] I see ok thx [13:20] Bram_P: do the opposite, make sure there is a tick in the box (or not a tick if its the other way around) [13:20] shambat: and you can get PPA's for a lot of stuff, or get a deb from a trusted source or compile from tar.gz [13:20] shambat: you have the latest version on the repositorys that you have made apt aware of [13:20] !ppa > shambat [13:20] shambat, please see my private message [13:20] shambat: if you add a repo with a later version it will be seen by apt and will be installed as an update [13:22] 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?

This is the only thing that doesn't come (anymore, before it just did and was unwriteable) [13:22] how do i troubleshoot totem , it stopped workign with my videos.. dont know if it has to do with me installing vlc [13:23] ActionParsnip: this is my mout command in the /etc/fstab . Can this be the problem? [13:23] shambat: if you add a repo with newer software think of that an apt-get distupgrade will update all the software, maybe look also at apt pinning [13:23] (videos work with vlc) [13:23] Bram_P: then i've no idea, as i dont use gnome, you could create a symlink to the /media/stick folder but it will be there if you unmount the partition [13:23] Newbee: i've not played with that to that degree, thats a beast!! [13:24] Newbee: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288534 [13:24] Anybody able to help me with some gigabit NICs that refuse to run at gigabit speeds and only run at 100 mbit?

You can find the mount point using 'df' [13:26] how to add 3rd party plugins to pidgin?i've downloaded few.its asking me to configure it.but i could not understand how?

[13:26] WishingMaster: cd [13:27] WishingMaster: cd /media/foo/bar/ [13:27] ok thanks [13:27] jonaskoelker: busybox is not Ubuntu. It's a small Linux distribution used for small devices. [13:27] as in sarcasm.. that it is that easy.. or that it isnt that easy? [13:27] by deleting those files.. it will reapply codecs or so?

[13:27] Huufarted: I don't think busybox is a distro. [13:27] It's just a minishell. [13:27] oki [13:27] Huufarted: busybox is not a distribution, its a single binary containing bash and a lot of the coreutils === bing is now known as Guest55999 [13:27] I have 2 network cards in my box. One is the connected to the outside and one is for drbl only for clonezilla. The internet one is quite happily connected as eth2....eth0 is the one i want to use for drbl...how should i set it up [13:27] WishingMaster: if you run mount; sudo fdisk -l you will see where the partitions off each disk are mounted (if at all) [13:28] micca: not sure where totem folders are without going through my folders, plus it could be a bit different in my case anyway since 9.04 beta etc [13:28] hbekel: I know what it is, distro is just the first thing that came to mind at 6:30am. :( [13:28] ActionParsnip, i want to got to sda8 [13:28] what should be my command?

[13:28] micca: by deleting those files, it will be like, you have never opened totem before. a clean install of totem [13:28] ok sebsebseb thanks.. but ye .totem doesnt exist [13:29] WishingMaster: mount on its own will show where all mounted partitions are mounted including their mount options [13:29] Jimi_Neutral -> whats a drbl ? is that another host?

[13:30] micca: and ~/.config/totem [13:30] tried to google for it, but no success [13:30] n8tuser: It is for Clonezilla so i can take and image and clone it using multicasting to about 40 laptops Diskless Remote Boot Linux [13:30] micca: yeah what he said, and there's .local/share/.totem or for me anyway [13:30] WishingMaster: alt+f2 type terminal press enter type mount press enter [13:30] ok thanks Huufarted and sebsebseb , so i delete all files in both of those folders ye?

[13:42] Jimi_Neutral -> do you still have like network manager enabled? i thought you supposed to disable nm ? [13:42] jonaskoelker: it doesn't "store" uuids, you hard drives are given them. You can see them with blkid [13:42] jonaskoelker: in /etc/fstab. it may be a bug, are you using jaunty? [13:43] ActionParsnip: yep [13:43] which other channel, my good man? [13:43] n8tuser: im a newb man, never used linux before a few days ago [13:43] jonaskoelker: then you know what factoid i'm gonna fire then dont you :0 [13:43] toez10: if you want help, just ask here [13:43] n8tuser: im winging all of this so far and just reading tuts and coming in here [13:43] toez10: ask a question [13:43] ActionParsnip: well, if /etc/fstab agrees with blkid, what would updating grub change? [13:43] Jimi_Neutral; best way :) [13:43] ok i got some errors arrising [13:43] jonaskoelker: not sure, maybe jaunty does things differently. head into #ubuntu+1 [13:44] n8tuser: yeah would be if my boss wernt on my back to get this done [13:44] toez10: what errors? [13:44] anyone can help me to make the bios to beep? [13:44] mafsi: wrong channel try #hardware [13:44] mafsi: the bios doesn't beep [13:44] Jimi_Neutral -> newbieness in linux is not that much relevant here, more of you have to know your networking stuff [13:44] basically inthe terminal it said [13:44] ... [13:44] mafsi: and indeed at what Pricey said [13:44] my bios quacks ¬.¬ [13:44] sebsebseb: even if is about ubuntu? [13:44] mafsi: your BIOS dosna't really have anything to do with Ubuntu [13:44] anyone know how to fix audio buzzing noise [13:44] manually run dpkg --configure a to correct prob [13:44] n8tuser: but u need to know how to do that linux stuff and i dont [13:44] mafsi: your BIOS has to do with your computer hardware [13:45] n8tuser: sorry i mean do that networking stuff in linux [13:45] aaron1; speakers/headphones? You checked with them another device first? And checked volume levels? [13:45] sebsebseb: my bios is ok at least in windows; pc speaker can be heard but not in linux [13:45] its fine on windows side [13:45] Jimi_Neutral -> basically from my quick glance of drbl and clonezilla, one nic is dedicated for serving into a local lan, and you set up a DHCP server [13:45] linux i hear buzzzzzzz [13:45] mafsi: ok that's not got anything to do with your bios I expect [13:45] aaron1: try lower the PCM volume [13:45] pcm ? [13:45] n8tuser: all that bit is done [13:45] mafsi: your speakers just need setting up in Ubuntu [13:46] aaron1: go to the volume mixer, make sure PCM isn't at the max [13:46] can anyone help me with a desktop problem [13:46] n8tuser: its just this morning my eth0 reverted to unmanaged [13:46] allen: depends on what it is [13:46] !helpme > allen [13:46] allen, please see my private message [13:46] !ask > allen [13:46] n8tuser: i had some problems with clonezilla but thats another story [13:46] hey all... I was curious as to how I can burn an .avi file as a DVD video? [13:46] Jimi_Neutral -> am not sure what you meant by unmanaged? which app do you expect it to manage? [13:46] i did a new ubuntu 8.10 install and i cant see the desktop after i logon [13:46] wheres volume mixer === adiktd|2| is now known as adiktd [13:46] i want to set up an irc server for a workgroup. which package could i use from apt-get i couldnt find unrealircd [13:46] sebsebseb: i have a plugin for weechat that suppose to make motherboard to bip when someone say my nake in channel; but i hear no beep; plugin is ok [13:47] mafsi: weechat not used that [13:47] after i logon all i see is the mouse and a brown screen [13:47] hello guys [13:47] AnjinRo: hi [13:47] hi [13:47] hey thanks for the friendly welcome however i just found a friend on gmail to give me a hand see ya l8rz [13:47] mafsi: weechat is a instant messenger? [13:47] n8tuser: i dont expect it to manage anything.....yesterday when i hovered on network connections it said eth0 now when i do the same it says unmanaged [13:47] i have a trouble with my ubuntu... can i get some support here? [13:47] where is the volume mixer ? [13:48] !sound [13:48] 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 [13:48] !ask > AnjinRo [13:48] AnjinRo, please see my private message [13:48] sebsebseb: yeap [13:48] Jimi_Neutral -> thats what i meant, what tools are you using to see this manage vs unmanage? [13:48] ??? no one [13:48] i want to set up an irc server for a workgroup. which package could i use from apt-get i couldnt find unrealircd.. any suggestions? [13:48] mafsi: ok well programs, dont' make your motherboard beep [13:48] So I just changed smb.conf to fix some permission issues, but when I goto /etc/init.d/ and type [samba restart] or even just [samba] it says command not found, but yet if I type ls samba is listed... confused. Samba is working on the network so it must installed, but I do not want to do complete reboot because I have 13 tabs open in firefox (Also I have no GUI so this must be done from command line) [13:48] oh i just left clock on the network monitor at the top of the screen, next to the sound icon [13:48] i just cant see the desktop [13:48] micca, suggest looking at http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/ircd/ first [13:49] n8tuser: oh i just left click on the network monitor at the top of the screen, next to the sound icon [13:49] this hasnt happened to no one? [13:49] allen: ok xorg issue [13:49] allen I am in the same boat [13:49] is there any software which can convert ebooks into mobipocket format? [13:49] allen: which Ubuntu? how old is your graphics card? [13:49] is it x org not installed? [13:49] !xorg [13:49] 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 [13:49] 8.10 ubuntu [13:49] micca, why not just register a channel on an established server? [13:49] I have had no desktop since the last ubuntu update [13:49] xorg is installed if you're seeing the mouse [13:50] mafsi: check if echo -e '\07' makes it beep [13:50] graphics card is onboard [13:50] Soyo: no desktop???? [13:50] Jimi_Neutral -> per this http://drbl.sourceforge.net/ step 5 it says do not use network manager (gui icons) [13:50] allen: ok is the computer old? [13:50] micca, depending on where you're planning on hosting the server, I'd strongly suggest checking that IRCd's are allowed - they are banned in most places [13:50] !raidokey, my problem is about RAID, i have a RAID 0 on this computer... first time grub dont start so i installed ubuntu again with RAID stopped, and it work. But it doesnt recognize mine RAID partition. What i can do? [13:50] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:50] i did the install on two computer [13:50] thank you mshanks , and oh... didnt know that :( [13:50] damn [13:50] without ! [13:50] allen: ok, but they will have differnet hardware [13:50] allen: if you move your .gnome2 directory elsewhere temporarily, can you access gnome normally? [13:50] well... I wanted to run the server as then I can provide several services as opposed to just owning a channel [13:50] Anybody else having freezes with ext4 on Jaunty under heavy IO ( 'make clean', 'rm -rf' on 1GB source trees ) ? [13:50] Jimi_Neutral -> ie do not rely on network manager when using dbrl, [13:51] I can do like "firefox --display :0" and it works fine, but the desktop is absolutely black. no menu either [13:51] that was to IndyGunFreak [13:51] sipior: if he even understands what that means, I got a feeling he is new [13:51] Leon_Nardella -> please go to #ubuntu+1 [13:51] i can acsess terminal [13:51] sebsebseb: well, we must start somewhere. [13:51] micca: I'd still recommend using a channel on an existing network. FAR easier to maintain. [13:51] sipior: yep [13:51] mshanks well... I wanted to run the server as then I can provide several services as opposed to just owning a channel [13:51] i reinstalled but no luck [13:51] micca, if it's for your work network, then if you put a server in the building, which you own, then it's fine (Cause it's up to you, and it's private) [13:52] both of these computers are from the same time frame [13:52] allen: a complete reinstall? including a new user home directory? [13:52] hello to everybody [13:52] but if you want it publically available, you'll need to find an appropriate host. they are around, but a lot of typical server hosting companies don't allow them. just check T&C [13:52] n8tuser: I know bud, thats what i am saying.....i used gedit /etc/network/interfaces to manually set it but now when i reboot and i look at eth0 again it says unmanaged and all this has been happening since i updated this mroning [13:52] xuser_: hi [13:52] !raid [13:52] raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [13:52] i reinstalled 2-3times [13:52] Jimi_Neutral -> did you remove or purge network manager per that instruction on step 5 ? [13:52] So I just changed smb.conf to fix some permission issues, but when I goto /etc/init.d/ and type [samba restart] or even just [samba] it says command not found, but yet if I type ls samba is listed... confused. Samba is working on the network so it must installed, but I do not want to do complete reboot because I have 13 tabs open in firefox (Also I have no GUI so this must be done from command line) [13:52] mshanks hmm.. its different.. will later on set it up (or would want to at least) for a committee im part of at an university.. but wanted to set it up for now on my box basically to practice it all first before porting it over to the uni server [13:52] allen: what your is the computer from? [13:52] allen: what year? [13:52] i wasnt follwoing that tut so no cause the one i was following didnt tell me o do that [13:52] Hi, does anyone here know how I would modify users so they can upload to a dir other than home? [13:53] 2003 i think [13:53] is that illegal or legal? (the internet ip im on for now.. is a private home ip) [13:53] allen: ok that's oldish [13:53] Jimi_Neutral -> well do remove or purge it, [13:53] have you ever tried to use aircrack ng on ubuntu? [13:53] its a 2.53pentuim4 [13:53] micca, nothing stopping you doing it in your own house (again, i'd suggest doing it on a machine not accessible from the internet just incase - it might void your T&C for home connection) - but nothing stopping you trying it out [13:53] sipior: maybe his card isn't supourted by 8.10? [13:53] micca -> not its not illegal [13:53] socket 478 [13:53] n8tuser: will i lose this connection to WAN? [13:53] allen: that doesn't answer the question. did you delete your home directory during the install? [13:53] mat , you could add a group id for all users.. and then give access to that group to the folde ryou have in midn i would think [13:54] i see the login screen just fine [13:54] if it's for your uni, they might even be prepared to offer some help, or at least a machine dedicated for you to use - I know a few that do. Worth having a chat with them :) [13:54] Jimi_Neutral -> you should not but if you do, you can always bring up eth2 [13:54] allen: me too! but then it goes black after that [13:54] hello [13:54] Azoff: hi [13:54] my desktop did go black but now its just brown with a cursor [13:54] I am about to setup ubuntu server with kvm [13:54] !who | Jimi_Neutral [13:54] Jimi_Neutral: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [13:54] Soyo: which version of Ubuntu? how old is the computer/graphics card? [13:55] ok , just sounded like someone saying not allowed... so the thign is I want to runt he irc server.. AND use it across the internet for specific members only (sure I coudl reg a channel by all means.. but I am later on going to develop our infrastructure on the aforementioned uni server.. so want ot tinker around on my hgome box first)... [13:55] Hi [13:55] but how do I make the guest appear on the same network as the host without NAT? [13:55] how can i install updates offline? (I have around 437 files - i got the .deb files from a pc that has internet, how can i install them?) [13:55] !offline [13:55] If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD [13:55] everything is good except i cannot see the two taskbars [13:56] I want to be able to access the guests without the need of some forwarod or something like that. [13:56] nickname: see above [13:56] i changed sscreen resolutions... and now tried all the resolutions that are shown in that box..... but still cant get a good resolution... i mean all the windows doesnt fit to the screen when i click maximize..... and also. the icons in the screen are large and they are gone even down the task bar... help me plz [13:56] ok , just sounded like someone saying not allowed... so the thign is I want to runt he irc server.. AND use it across the internet for specific members only (sure I coudl reg a channel by all means.. but I am later on going to develop our infrastructure on the aforementioned uni server.. so want ot tinker around on my hgome box first)... mshanks n8tuser any feedback on this? [13:56] Sorry, how would I add the folder to the group access? would this be possible in terminal lol [13:56] micca, i'd suggest; set it up on ahome machine (not on internet) to begin with [13:57] nevermind, i found it: I tried: dpkg -i -R /var/cache/apt/archives as root! [13:57] sebsebseb Ubuntu Server 8.10 the graphics card is ancient [13:57] uhm when i try and mount a volume it says "cannot mount volume, you are not privileged to mount this volume" How do i get around this sudo it or something? [13:57] it's not the smallest job -will take you a bit of time to understand whats going on [13:57] I have setup a bridge as the "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Networking#Creating a network bridge on the host" states, but I my guests still appear on the 192.168.122.* C-network [13:57] Soyo: ok that's your problem I expect [13:57] kimi: that sounds like a typical thing with unbranded laptops .. are you on a laptop kimi.. if so which one? [13:57] Soyo: 8.10 has a completly differnet version of xorg from 8.04, and it lacks suppourt for older cards [13:57] then I'd look at finding a small cheap host that allows an IRCd for a *very* small network (make sure to stress the smallness... perhaps impose a connection limit). go from there [13:57] Soyo: also for servers 8.04 is recommended anyway [13:57] mshanks.. ye.. well I guess I like to learn.. but I =only got one box atm.. (one laptop) [13:57] Soyo: since it's long term suppourt unlike 8.10 [13:57] can i not make the server private? [13:57] you could also ask your ISP if you'd be allowed to do it from your house (but bear in mind, the bandwidth implications etc) [13:58] micca NO [13:58] btw, the host is running 8.04 server [13:58] the cursor is visable the background is visable the logon screen is visable the terminal is visable [13:58] kimi: ok [13:58] micca mine is a viewsonic LCD monitor [13:58] uhm when i try and mount a volume it says "cannot mount volume, you are not privileged to mount this volume" How do i get around this sudo it or something [13:58] allen: you haven't answered my question regarding your .gnome2 directory. if you don't understand it, that's fine, and i'm happy to elaborate. but an acknowledgment would be nice. [13:58] The graphics card not compatable with the new update, because it worked fine before the last update. [13:58] micca and i am not getting the right resoltion shown in that preferences box [13:58] Soyo: update as in 8.04 to 8.10???/ [13:58] sipior im sorry i dont get it [13:58] mshanks, well.. if I would password protect it.. the server owuld only allow about 20 people now when in testing at home.... is that not ok? you think? [13:59] not trying to be rude my apologies [13:59] Who ever had problem with mounting, yeah sudo usually works. [13:59] whats the sudo command? [13:59] !sudo [13:59] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [13:59] allen: you have a terminal open? if you type "ls -al" in it, you'll get a list of directories. one of those should be called ".gnome2" (note the dot) [13:59] !sudo > Magishen [13:59] Magishen, please see my private message [13:59] Kimi... well.. it sounds like you need to get your refresh rates etc correct and edit the xconf file (erm i havent done x in erm 8 yrs or so) ask someone for a link to the bot for xconf or Xwindows or osmething [13:59] I honestly don't know - it depends on your ISP - I'd suggest asking them first [13:59] micca ?! [13:59] micca, and remember if those 20 people use it regularly, it might have noticable impact on your bandwidth usage [13:59] what i just type sudo in yerminal and its unmounted [14:00] 8.10 was working ok, but then I downloaded the latest update (a couple months ago) and it stop loading the gnome desktop (logs in ok but black screen) [14:00] In terminal what would I type to add a folder to group access? [14:00] allen: if you try moving that directory; say, via "mv .gnome2 .gnome2.backup", and then log out, and back in, does your problem go away? [14:00] Soyo: any idea what you installed? [14:00] ok.. but mshanks... well... since i will be setting up a test env. I can shut down the server and the guys are fine with it.. I just don thave time to set it up and learn it all when it goes onto the uni server === johnny is now known as Guest4194 [14:00] micca ?? means you dont know to help me now ? [14:00] i need a test environment which also lets [14:00] Soyo: is the computer only used as a server? or do you use it for desktop usage as well? [14:00] does anyone use how to solve my problem ??! [14:00] how do i open a terminal? [14:00] o ffs! dw about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [14:01] kimi: I didnt do X for 7 yrs.. im just saying I used to solve those problems years and years ago.. my suggestion is that you need to look into Xconf [14:01] allen appplica > access > terminal [14:01] allen: applications > assesories > terminal [14:01] allen: sorry, i thought you said you had one open. you can get it from the main menu. [14:01] its mostly a server [14:01] i cant see my aplications [14:01] Soyo: ok you should run 8.04 on it then [14:01] and find the correct values to enter for vendor, refresh rates vertcially and horizontally for yoru montior [14:01] Soyo: that' recommended for servers, plus your card should work fine there [14:01] micca i don know what is Xconf :( i am only 1 month old to ubuntu [14:01] althoor something along those lines [14:01] HOW DO I MOUNT LOL ITS NOT LETTIN ME?????????????????????? [14:01] !Xconf [14:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about Xconf [14:01] I want to configure X from the command line, what is the best method? [14:02] what keys do i press to open a terminal? [14:02] well i installe dubuntu yesterday! :P kimi: google xconf or ask the bot.. ah kimi: its something along the lines incorrect just is asking [14:02] dw with ur command line crap [14:02] i can theklpo yuo more.. sorry [14:02] help me with my mountin prob [14:02] I guess that means I have to do some backing up then [14:02] micca :P you installed yesteraday ? :P [14:02] Soyo: and if you use the server edition you get 5 years of suppourt with 8.04, desktop version only 3 years [14:02] allen: i think there is a hotkey combination to open a terminal, but i'm damned if i remember what it is...anybody? [14:02] !kernel [14:02] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [14:02] hello all [14:02] !confX > Kimi [14:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about confX [14:02] lol sipior [14:02] hello sebsebseb [14:02] OI WHAT DA FUK U HELPO KIMI CUZ SHE IS A GAL HELP ME [14:02] Soyo: well now it's like 4 years of supourt left for server [14:02] sipior: Alt-F2 [14:03] Nasra: hi [14:03] you okay?

[14:03] mshanks, ok but lets say ISP is ifne with it (tbh.. I dont give a crap.. I do not intend to let the bandwidtch get out of hand... when im testing I will only keep 3 people on it miost likely anyway.. my secretaries and the lad im gonna help run some web stuff).. do you really think bandwidth can get that out of hand? :/ [14:03] it says im not allowed [14:03] thx guys!!!! [14:03] Nasra: yeah, but your also off topic if you say that stuff in here [14:03] Magishen, I am a GUY [14:03] MAgishen use sudo in front [14:03] sebsebseb: tha is okay...no problem... [14:03] sipior, gotta be careful telling that to noobies. It switches their entire screen to a console. They may not know how to get back to X [14:04] sebsebseb sounds like a good idea, I just have to back everything up now (which I should be doing already but I just started with linux) [14:04] Nasra: pm or im if you want to chat [14:04] okay [14:04] wtf i dont use sudo infornt of anything!!!!!!!!!! i only isntalled ubuntu so i dont get hacked from conflictor that aprils fools virus [14:04] alt f2 didnt work rebooted the system [14:04] micca, no, not in that instance - but isp might have a problem if they can detect you hosting an IRCd.. [14:04] Soyo: what kind of server? [14:04] but, similarly, it's just as likely it will be absolutely fine :) [14:04] Huufarted: that's "ctrl-alt-F2" you mean. he'll need a proper gnome-terminal [14:04] hehe Huufarted , when i installeed ubuntu yest.. i hit alt f5 instead of alt 5 , n changed display... thank god i rememebred from 5 yrs ago that it shud be somewhere [14:04] ok when i goto places n goto my thing i wnat to mount [14:04] so i did f1 and it says display loading but nothing ever happened [14:04] Magishen: lol and [14:04] it says im not allowed [14:04] !language [14:04] Like I said, i honestly don't know - personally I'd give them a quick call and ask, but it's up to you [14:04] allen: try "alt-F7" to get back :-) [14:04] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

Period. [14:07] micca, that's very likely - especially if you're keeping the activity that small, if they do have a problem, holding your hands up and saying sorry and turning it off would most likely be fine [14:07] slackware pmajic ophcrack all work in the live-cd forms [14:07] whats jfgi!! rtfm [14:07] whats that mean [14:07] Magishen: Shut up. Either respect other users or nobody will help you.

[14:09] is tomcat avail in the standard application list for updating? [14:10] !find tomcat [14:10] Found: libtomcat5.5-java, solr-tomcat5.5, tomcat5.5, tomcat5.5-admin, tomcat5.5-webapps (and 7 others) [14:10] jpds: Is this irc101? [14:10] oh and a small question since im getting used to ubuntu... if I see a package but havent installed it .. and want to get some info of it (in a terminal) eg. oftc-hybrid.. is there a way to access its info? or do i have to google it? [14:10] Huufarted: That's the problem, the window doesn't redraw during this time and by the time it returns to normal the process is no longer up there [14:10] micca: apt-cache show oftc-hybrid [14:10] lol thanx [14:10] Huufarted: Unless it's X, which typically sits at the top of the list [14:10] Magishen: hopefully you're a bit more composed now? [14:11] hi, every, i have a problem about gtk problems, all the app base on gtk show rigging angle on button and textbox, and so on. And it is arc angle before. [14:11] dmsuperman, run it in a terminal window [14:11] micca, i suspect there isn't an ircd in apt (might be wrong but i'd be suprised) - you're going to need to compile and sset up your self probably [14:11] micca: apt-cache show package_name. you never have to google to browse packages, unless you're reading reviews, screenshots, etc. [14:11] wine is working fine? i mean... to open windows based applications... [14:11] micca: Or open the Synaptic Package Manager in System -> Admin and read the info there. [14:11] dmsuperman, you can run it from an ssh session as well [14:11] mshanks: There are. [14:11] oh 72hrs still no results [14:11] Huufarted: That doesn't help, since it's X that locks up [14:11] so I heard that Ubuntu is the most problematic Linux distro.. and that you should use Mandriva or openSUSE if you want a very tinker / random weird issues experience [14:11] Magishen is probably gone by now.... [14:11] thats what our university teacher is teaching to us [14:11] dmsuperman: run it from an ssh session ran from a different PC [14:11] I mean t [14:11] nah im gettin help [14:11] im still here [14:11] Nasra: nah he is here [14:12] and that you should use Mandriva or openSUSE if you want a very tinker-free / random weird issues Free experience [14:12] Huufarted: I don't have a different PC to use, sadly :( [14:12] oh [14:12] Magishen: who is helping you? reply to my pm [14:12] dmsuperman, not even a windows PC? [14:12] Anyone know how to restart samba when /etc/init.d/ shows samba in it but typing [samba restart] or [samba] says command not found... [14:12] Is there maybe like a CPU hogs history app? [14:12] Jarie: ubuntu is convenient but isnt really for tinkerers to the degree that other distros allow [14:12] Jarie; it's all a matter of taste and preference. [14:12] i am attempting to boot from the live cd in safe graphics mode [14:12] Jarie: i wouldnt say it was problematic any thing [14:12] Huufarted: I have no other PCs here :( [14:13] ive been hearing that Ubuntu users have to post way more forum posts about problems than like Mandriva [14:13] that theres just tons of issues [14:13] cheers prince_jammys jpds and mshanks .. well mshanks , when i typed ircd in terminal , apt suggested oftc-hybrid + ircd-irc2 [14:13] sebsebseb : can I run another flavour of linux on top of Ubuntu as live cd mode? [14:13] how can I Install from the command line off a live cd ? [14:13] when i installed ubuntu all the menus showed up with no problem [14:13] so I guess ircd-irc2 is a daemon [14:13] is there a text mode installer? [14:13] Nasra: nah, but you can virtual machine one [14:13] guys is there any way to upgrade to jaunty beta release from the iso file of jaunty ? i tried gmountiso but of no use [14:13] how is that/ [14:13] micca; no harm in installing and seeing what happens :) [14:13] ? [14:13] Jarie: Mostly because many Ubuntu users are new to Linux. [14:13] !minimal | orifice_work [14:13] orifice_work: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [14:13] dmsuperman, there could be from a 3rd party app, but i DON'T KNOW OF ONE RIGHT OFF HAND. [14:13] Jarie: trolling the Ubuntu chanenl is not good. and each OS has it's issues [14:13] orifice_work: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install [14:13] dmsuperman, you can try ctrl-alt-F2 and run top from there [14:13] Jarie; perhaps that means they have more vocal communities, so the forums are used more. Or perhaps your lecturer has a bias against ubuntu. Or perhaps he's right. [14:13] what im not trolling [14:13] I'm curious [14:13] !samba restart [14:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about samba restart [14:13] orifice_work: there's the alternate cd, and the minimal cd [14:14] sebsebseb: how you do that run as Virtual Machine? [14:14] !samba [14:14] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [14:14] Jarie; but the beauty is they're all free, so any one can try them all and decide for themselves [14:14] dmsuperman: sorry about the caps 2 messages back. :( That was unintentional [14:14] Soyo: use the full path, i.e. '/etc/init.d/samba restart' [14:14] Jarie: its due to the large uptake of the distro === kalpik_ is now known as kalpik [14:14] Huufarted: I can run it in the terminal, but like I said by the time it unfreezes there's nothing in the list [14:14] well .. no harm.... settign up an irc daemon could provide a security hole I guess ^^ [14:14] :P:P [14:14] Nasra: get the binary for linux hosts from http://www.virtualbox.org [14:14] sebsebseb: thought I could arrange that in the Bios? [14:14] micca: Any service can. [14:14] !virtualbox [14:14] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [14:14] is it possible to install ubuntu with NO junk in it (i dont like all those apps... i dont want ANY apps) [14:14] jcfp: I'll give it a shot [14:14] allen: i need to go in a few minutes, but i think the problem is in your .gnome2 directory. sometimes gnome gets a little confused, leaving it in an awkward state. that would explain why you get a background and cursor, but no toolbars. if you move that directory temporarily, you force gnome to reinitialise it, hopefully fixing your problem. alternatively, making a new account would be a quick way to verify that that is where the problem lies. good luck! [14:14] dmsuperman: Ctrl-Alt-F2 will run the terminal without worrying about X. So if X is locked up, it won't affect the terminal that way. [14:14] Jarie: and Mandriva is known as a noobs distro big time, more so than Ubuntu, but Ubuntu is just better :) [14:15] Jarie: I mean that is by the people that know about Mandriva [14:15] micca; a hole is ok if there's nothing behind it to steal :p [14:15] Huufarted: Hrm, good idea I didn't even think of it [14:15] Thanks guys. I was using minibuntu, but there's no installation bundled with that 'distro' [14:15] Huufarted: Now I must hope it spikes soon, I'm at work :P [14:15] Jarie: you can use minimal or server to install a kernel + bootloader, you can then build a system from the ground up [14:15] I mean I tried using Linux and reminded me of like getting a Dell and having TONS of random Junkware installed [14:15] except Linux was way worse [14:15] they put like 100 programs in [14:15] that I didnt ever want to use [14:15] lol ok. good luck dmsuperman. I'd still recommend a second PC to ssh into it [14:15] Jarie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:15] Jarie: don't use it then [14:15] ok sipior ive got the live cd to boot [14:15] jpds: true.. but at least the out of box settings are somewhat safe.. me adding an irc deamon mshanks.. lol nothing apart from personal videos and piucs of ex? ;p [14:15] (hihi kidding) [14:15] (kinda) [14:15] No I dont want them on my hard drive, it upsets me [14:15] Jarie: it's that simple, if it's not what you want/like try a different distro/os [14:15] (stfu) [14:15] i dont want 50,000 files filesystem [14:15] where is this gnome2 dir located? [14:15] Jarie: install from the minimal CD, and then install whatever you want. [14:16] Magishen: don't use that language please [14:16] ok soz! [14:16] Jarie: don't use it then - as I have said, ranting about it in here won't change that [14:16] (sthu)! [14:16] micca: that reminds me, i need to delete those pics of my ex [14:16] I thought the whole point of Linux was that unlike Microsoft you could not be victim to having all this weird crap you dont want, but every Linux distro I try is the opposite [14:16] Jarie: install from the minimal CD, and then install whatever you want. [14:16] Jarie, in all honesty, i was mandrake in the ol days (so mandriva i guess).. n i just tryign ubuntu now.. gotta say its got a great feel to it so far (and yes.. hope this does not insult anyone.. but also partially due to several similar aspects and gui layouts like vista which i have gotten used to) [14:16] !find firefox [14:16] Found: firefox-greasemonkey, firefox-launchpad-plugin, firefox-sage, firefox-showcase, firefox-ubuntu-it-menu (and 23 others) [14:17] minimal CD has nothing at all? [14:17] hi [14:17] Jarie: you can install/ install what you want [14:17] !find firefox [14:17] Found: firefox-greasemonkey, firefox-launchpad-plugin, firefox-sage, firefox-showcase, firefox-ubuntu-it-menu (and 23 others) [14:17] Jarie: sorry, install/uninstall [14:17] is the minimal one fully supported? [14:17] I have a problem with my usb external hard drive...when I plug it in dmesg reports: [28864.365369] hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port [14:17] !list [14:17] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [14:17] anybody know what's going on ? [14:17] is newest firefox in the synaptic update manager? [14:17] Tcl: ping [14:17] Jarie: it boots and you install from the web, you can install a basic system with some basic drivers and then apt-get install everything you want [14:17] Boohbah, i actually had a share at home when my ex was at my place some yrs ago.. then i moved to a uni residence.. and i forgot to unshare it all ... LOL pretty fricking compromising stuff I gotta say :( [14:17] ikonia: hello sir is there a way to upgrade to jaunty from ibex from the iso that i just downloaded ? [14:17] Jarie: the minimal CD has the base system. you then can add whatever you like [14:17] !upgrade > tv7497 [14:17] tv7497, please see my private message [14:17] Jarie: the purpose of linux is to give you a 100% open and free alternative that you can do with however you want. It prevents you from being locked into specific software vendors and from spending tons of money on the software you need to run. [14:17] Ok I have another concern [14:17] I wil try the minimal CD however [14:18] Huufarted: I don't observe any odd behavior, but it's hard to tell if it's locking up because X usage keeps spiking to 20% [14:18] jpds:pong ? [14:18] jarie: what is it u wish to do with your ditro> what are yo used to etc? [14:18] with Linux you cant download a program from a web site and run it. Like if your friend makes a game and puts it on his site. Or if someone makes a scene Demo... or any other of thousands of little programs [14:18] Jarie: another way is to install a regular system then remove what you do not need [14:18] linux doesnt support downloading stuff and installing it [14:18] hi everybody [14:18] hi everyone! Do you have crossover games full? Thanks in advance [14:18] Jarie: yes, you can. [14:18] jarie, yes it does. [14:18] well jarie.. you can [14:18] No it doesnt [14:18] Jarie: it does if it's packaged correctly [14:18] Tcl: Sorry, there was something bot-ish about you :) [14:18] Jarie: yes. You can. [14:18] evelyette: have you tried using a different usb port or s different cable? [14:18] i had some question [14:18] and even if its windows binaries .. you still often can run it with wine [14:18] Jarie: I do it all the time. [14:18] you are lying [14:19] hi everyone! Do you have crossover games full? Thanks in advance [14:19] none of you do it [14:19] lol jarie you can you just have to set it up [14:19] how i know wich is my network [14:19] edthefox, yes...the same problem [14:19] Jarie: go look up what a .deb file is.... [14:19] Jarie: depends how they are coded etc, some will, some wont. You cant run linux apps at all in windows but linux has abstraction to allow you to run some of them [14:19] in this syntaxis [14:19] Jarie: it's going to run windows executables. [14:19] 255.0.0.0/x [14:19] ikonia: none of that was useful :( [14:19] Jarie: look at www.winehq.com [14:19] Jarie: i meant NOT going to ... [14:19] ActionParsnip, erm.. cygwin.. hummingbird? [14:19] tv7497: that explains how to upgrade, what is not clear ? [14:19] micca: what is hummingbird? [14:19] jpds : no problem , i love eggdrops :) [14:20] Jarie; you can't use a .exe no... but that's been packaged to work on windows. (although, most of them work through Wine anyway) ubuntu uses .deb packages which you can download and "just run" [14:20] oh snap! [14:20] mshanks, they got booted [14:20] i have had ubuntu for aprox 10 mins and i have noticed i can install run anything [14:20] hi everyone! Do you have crossover games full? Thanks in advance [14:20] evelyette: hrm... beats me, have you checked it on a different computer to test if it still works? [14:20] hummingbird connectivity provides an x windows environment in windows [14:20] !ot | utakbiya [14:20] utakbiya: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [14:20] edthefox, yes it works fine on my laptop [14:20] Huufarted; didn't notice! my bad. [14:20] ikonia: well it didnt say how to upgrade from a cd ( well if i didint read it properly i cant find anything there :( ) [14:20] ActionParsnip, sorry forgot to add yoru nick [14:20] ok thanks [14:20] Jare: some windows apps run great in linux, some documents can be accessed using a different app to a windows one [14:20] didnt* [14:20] mshanks: I'll let it slide this time. ;P [14:20] n8tuser: are you still there? [14:21] micca: i use XMing [14:21] Huufarted, you're too kind :-) [14:21] tv7497: you need to use the alternative CD - however I'd strongly advise against using the CD to upgrade as Jaunty is changing all the time and you need the current versions [14:21] Jimi_Neutral: if you start typing someone's name and then hit TAB, if they are in this room, it will autocomplete their name. It's an easy way to see if someone is present [14:21] ActionParsnip, sure but i just was saying wine works on linux as those progams work on windows in principle (i.e. running linux binaries in an env. inside th eother system).. so as such.. one can run linux on windows [14:21] linux programs* [14:21] evelyette: i dunno man [14:22] micca: well they arent running ON windows, only the display is disaplyed on the windows system [14:22] hmmmmm now.. mshanks.. u got an advice if to use original ircd server or hybrid7 used with oftnet? [14:22] ya ok true [14:22] ActionParsnip: yes using gentoo i was running wine and able to access my windows hd to run programs such as photoshop [14:22] but that does nto go for cygwin eh [14:22] ActionParsnip: yes using gentoo i was running wine and able to access my windows hd to run programs such as photoshop [14:22] eternally: exactly, some apps do work [14:22] eternal.. that is not what ActionParsnip was denying or anything [14:23] micca, I honestly have no idea. As I said before, I'd strongly recommend reading a lot of documentation - from what little I've read, it's quite a complicated process. I wouldn't bother picking your software until you know what exactly you need. [14:23] i know micca [14:23] how come there's no man for umask o.O [14:23] he was saying that you can i just backed it up [14:23] mshanks.. ok sorry for bothering you so much on this issue lol :) you have been helpful though xx [14:23] Jare: any other questions? [14:23] I want to configure X manually, is there a tool i can use? [14:24] lol incorrect [14:24] frostburn: type this: umask --help [14:24] X would be as in X server? [14:24] frostburn: lol well that command I gave you will error out, but it gives you basic syntax [14:24] Huufarted, not the same as a man though [14:24] incorrect: gedit, nano, vi [14:24] eterna1, :D well I want to stop it auto detecting [14:24] frostburn quite right [14:25] when i tried to connect my nokia using gammu it asks for gnapplet.is there any for s60 v3?i could not find one [14:25] frostburn: this might help you: http://ibm5.ma.utexas.edu/cgi-bin/man-cgi?umask+2 [14:25] frostburn: umask is a shell builtin. 'help umask', or man bash and search for it. [14:25] micca, not a problem - that's why I'm here. I can't really offer more help because a) I don't know for sure and b) I really think you need to do more reading before going any further :) [14:25] there used to be a tool to generate X11 config [14:25] true [14:25] incorrect: it got dropped after gutsy unfortunately [14:26] ah man i dont even rememebr the shortcut for highlighting my own name [14:26] prince_jammys, yeah, just wondering why the man isn't included. help umask isn't the same documentation [14:26] ActionParsnip, oh how useless [14:26] Huufarted, yeah i used that too =] [14:26] micca: type your own name [14:26] micca goes off and downloads ircd and just runs it .. and burns!!! [14:26] frostburn: bash builtins don't have man pages. they have 'help' [14:26] incorrect: tell me about it :( [14:26] ye but wasnt there like a if you want another colourl. like micca waves [14:26] good luck :p [14:26] frostburn: when I need a command, a lot of the time I"ll just google it. 'man umask' returns quite a bit. [14:26] lol mshanks :p [14:26] do /me perhaps [14:26] frostburn: if you want umask(2) and can't access it, install manpages-dev [14:27] at least if i survive it , i can give you soem useful feedback ;) [14:27] * micca burns [14:27] YAY [14:27] Definately :) Always interested in new things. [14:27] thank yo.. that was it i was tyyping /micca [14:27] hi all [14:27] micca, if you survive it then you can be the go-to person if someone in the future has the same issue. :) [14:27] I have a question about net and ubuntu [14:27] micca: that's how a lot of people in here got to answering questions instead of asking so many [14:27] * micca looks at linuxrevolution and guesses the revolution is .. so can I install linux on a windows monitor? [14:27] !ask Linuxrevolution [14:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:27] !ask | Linuxrevolution [14:27] Linuxrevolution: 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. :-) [14:28] sure thing Huufarted [14:28] frostburn: manpages-dev has man pages for system calls. try installing that. [14:28] ok [14:28] lol.. .me knew it [14:28] * micca knew it [14:28] when I wanna download anything [14:28] prince_jammys, ah much better, thanks =] [14:28] frostburn: welcome [14:28] Hello. I have a problem with my Ubuntu. I've just installed Clonezilla server edition on an Ubuntu desktop. I've setted up DHCP, DNS, etc.. I have an external hdd connected to the server, to get the images from, called /media/backup. Though, Clonezilla won't allow me to use /media/backup, so I need to call it something else. I've tried to put the images in root, just to test if it was ok, and that's no problem. How can I change the device name? [14:29] for example a software net just stop downloading and start again!! [14:29] Mathias90: try creating a symlink: ln -s /media/backup /backup === Cheese is now known as Cheese_Lee [14:29] stop start stop start!!! from anywhere even Synaptic [14:29] Mathias90: then tell Clonezilla to use /backup [14:29] i am da maker of conflicker [14:29] Huufarted - > a sysmlink? [14:29] u r all gone [14:29] is this Ubuntu problem??? [14:29] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [14:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about 1 [14:29] Magishen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

If you're not sure what acceptable !behaviour is please see !Etiquette and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines - If you think the ban was a mistake, please join #ubuntu-ops [14:30] any idea? [14:31] thanx Huufarted [14:31] * sebsebseb isn't sure if Magishen deserves his help in PM, but nevermind [14:31] * prince_jammys is sure of the answer to that one [14:31] Ahh.. Exactly what I'm looking for. Can I PM you? [14:31] ikonia: sir if you don't mind take a look at this http://122.167.111.75 screenshot.png i was able to mount it but no pop up window came up asking to upgrade ( alternate cd method ) [14:31] Mathias90: if you were talking to me, then I don't mind if you pm me [14:32] hello [14:32] tv7497: are you using the alternative image ? [14:32] tv7497: there are also instructions what to do if the popup box doesnt come up [14:32] hmm Linuxrevolution , doesnt sound too great.. but i have no idea hwo to help on that , sorry.. [14:32] tv7497: I agaon strongly recommend you to NOT use the cd method to upgrade to the beata release due to constant chances being made [14:32] i have sort of a problem while trying to install ubuntu server 8.10 on a Fujitsu siemens f250 server [14:33] micca: when I use Kget I dont have this problem!! [14:33] tv7497: that does not lok like the alternative CD image [14:33] tv7497: that looks like the desktop cd rom [14:33] i downloaded the cd from the ubuntu website and tried it, it works, i changed the boot sequence so it goes from the cd [14:33] micca: I downloaded ubuntu 9.4 without any stop [14:33] sebsebseb: how do I know what I have before installing VirtualBox for my Ubuntu 8.10("intrepid Ibex") I mean the amd / intel cpu? [14:34] prince_jammys: he would probably be bad for our community, and it seems he isn't up for the slight learning curve anyway [14:34] but it's not booting from the cd [14:34] Nasra: are you on 32bit or 64bit? [14:34] ikonia: oh ! i must have downloaded the wrong version :( is there any other way to upgrade to jaunty sir ? [14:34] im trying to install some software, and it's asking for "glib-gettext >= 2.2.0" what package is that in apt? I cant seem to find it [14:34] 64bit [14:34] 32 here if you're asking [14:34] oh [14:34] nvm [14:34] soz ^^ [14:34] tv7497 the methods are explained inthe links ubottu sent you [14:34] sebsebseb: regardless of community, people who insult you while seeking help need to get lost.

[14:34] Nasra: ok get the 64bit version then [14:34] n8tuser: Hey bud are you there? === pete_ is now known as Guest75138 [14:35] Jimi_Neutral -> not really, be back in 15 minutes [14:35] sebsebseb: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [14:35] prince_jammys: yeah he insulsted Ubuntu, when I explained that the easiest way to sort out his drive issue, was to boot up Windows and let it shut down properly. anyway we are going off topic [14:35] ikonia: err i closed it sir would you mind sending it again ? [14:35] haha.. here I go mshanks : I dl ircd, installed it and it says startign daemon.. but then when i go to services in admini. it doesnt show... so im hopoing i don thave a rogue ircd running as I will now read up on the ircd.conf stuff :) [14:35] i#m installing samba and use swat to configure. obviously swat doesnt get the datat from the smb.conf as bottoms like global are missing. what diod I do wrong [14:35] sebastien: has to be the first one on top [14:35] !upgrade > tv7497 [14:35] tv7497, please see my private message [14:36] hi there! can you guys help me with one keyring issue?

I have a forum post here so you can see what's happening. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6999623 [14:36] sebsebseb: and then it talks about the dkms package as well.... [14:36] Nasra: it should be pretty obvious as to which to download :) [14:36] I need to remove it [14:36] Nasra: ok i'll have a look [14:36] my wee acer aspire one is giving out 99 99 99 99 99 99 when I boot...

[14:36] Lorkas: what's your issue? === antonio_ is now known as Enpires [14:36] digifor: it's giving that as the MAC address? [14:37] Nasra: yep 8.10 for amd64 then [14:37] Huufarted, no when it boots. [14:37] ok [14:37] Hello! i've a trouble... i think that my bootloader disappeared... could anyone help me? [14:37] Nasra: Intrepid Ibex [14:37] yes [14:37] !grub [14:37] 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 [14:37] anyone? can you help me with removing this goddammmed keyring?

[14:38] Thats what I am asking as well [14:38] Ok, i have an issue trying to install Ubuntu server 8.10 if someone can pm me to helo, i would be grateful, thanks [14:38] Nasra: no [14:38] Can I make gdm autologin after reastarting x, (e.g. alt+prntscrn+k) [14:38] <_spm_Draget> Where do I set systemwide environmentvirables when i am on the console and do not have xorg running? [14:38] It is nearly brand new. [14:38] Nasra: download the deb and just click on it or. be in the folder in terminal and sudo dpkg -i name.deb [14:38] Ienorand: yes just set the persistent autologin in the login manager config [14:39] digifor: reinstall grub [14:39] Hi all, i removed network manager on my box under instruction from this clonezilla tutorial and now i cant connect to the internet through sdaid box....i assume that i have to use /etc/network/interfaces but im not sure of the settings [14:39] i want it to use dhcp [14:39] digifor: but I never heard of grub doing 99 99 99 99 I know lilo does that [14:39] and the other card in the box is just for local distribution using clonezilla [14:39] so eth0 needs to be dhcp and eth1 needs to be a private static address [14:39] any ideas? [14:40] sebsebseb, if the message about the grup was for me i think is not what i need... i'll try to explain better: after i see the ASUS logo, when i have to choose what OS i want to start, i can only see a flashing line and i can do nothing.. [14:40] It must be a weird acer aspire one thing. I was starting to wonder if I had borked my hd [14:40] hello [14:40] hi [14:40] Hello people, Today when i woke up i saw that my computer had an BSOD. Restarted, still got BSOD's. Tried to reinstall vista, couldnt even get into the installation. So i tried XP, got still of "cannot read the bla bla file want to skip?". I skipped and got it installed, and the computer randomly shuted down. And got BSOD. So i tried ubuntu, but i get "Crc error , System halted". [14:40] Enpires: ok odd. [14:41] Dan: hi [14:41] Enpires: you in Ubuntu now or not? [14:41] What is a backport update? [14:41] <_spm_Draget> Where do I set systemwide environmentvirables when i am on the console and do not have xorg running? [14:41] i'm using another computer [14:41] I tried to first disconnect 1 hdd and use the other one, and then reverse, but still got the still problem. What is the chance of both HDDs beeing messed up? any ideás? [14:41] hi [14:41] i cant start both vista and ubuntu [14:41] Devcoder: probably broken hdd [14:41] NoobGuest: silghtly new versions of programs, before they become a proper one [14:41] !backport [14:41] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [14:41] Is there a way to set the port range for connections (Not listening ports) in btdownloadcurses? I need the ports to be predictable so that i can traffic shape w/ tcng [14:41] edthefox: well, i downloaded the ubuntu server 8.10 live cd, and the system its just not booting from the cd, although i ask him to do it [14:41] sebsebseb: thanks, is there somewhere i could have found that? thanks! [14:41] Devcoder: maybe the sata or IDE driver of your mainboard is screwed then? === c is now known as charitwo [14:42] NoobGuest: what the bot said, my descripton is a little off [14:42] NoobGuest: and Ubuntu only does security updates [14:42] How can I view all the images in my evolution messages. [14:42] Kesman_ could that happen all suddenly over night without restarting the comp? [14:42] sebsebseb: yeah you caught me in midstream of typing, the thanks! answered that :P [14:42] sebsebseb, have you got any idea about a solution?? (except formatting :P) [14:42] Lorkas: does it hang up trying to boot or does it just boot into windows? [14:42] Devcoder: dunno, do you have the hdd's in sata or in ide? [14:42] Enpires: are you on WIndows or Ubuntu? [14:42] Enpires: have you got a Live CD? [14:42] Enpires: let's find out if Grub is even on there properly or not first [14:43] sebsebseb,now in ubuntu, but not in the broken pc [14:43] Kesman_ its in Sata, but its used as IDE (if you understand what i mean) [14:43] Enpires: well if the folder for it is [14:43] yes i have [14:43] _spm_Draget: export VAR=val [14:43] Devcoder: yeah I do. Did you already try another sata port? [14:43] edthefox: It just boots windows, in the bios, i even changed it, so it did not boot from hdd nor floppy, only from cd, and says no OS found [14:43] Kesman_ i cannot even launch ubuntu as live cd [14:43] Enpires: or just re install Grub onto the MBR on the broken PC [14:43] have you got any guide that could help me to reinstall it? [14:43] could anyone tell me the name of the app for managing print jobs (gui)? [14:43] Devcoder: what was the liveCD's problem? [14:43] Lorkas: what kind of computer is it? [14:43] Enpires: yeah what the bot gave [14:43] !grub [14:43] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [14:44] Kesman_ when i choose "Start as livecd" I got the crc error [14:44] I want to link to it from the toolbar, but i'm having issues defining it in google etc [14:44] edthefox: its a Fujitsu Siemens F250 Server, dual Intel Xeon 2'4ghx [14:44] Lorkas: can you press a f-key to make it open up a boot menu [14:44] same when i choose "install" [14:44] Enpires: also I know of a little trick to get another Grub, but it's not really the best way [14:44] (maybe i need to sleep a little.. :/ === Kesman_ is now known as Kesman [14:44] Kesman_ even the "Check the cd for errors" gives me crc error, the only thing that dosnt is the memtest [14:44] Ciao [14:45] edthefox: yes, f12 and it shows a black window, then goes into windows [14:45] sebsebseb: sorry I was in the middle of phoncall will bet back to you shortly.... [14:45] i have 2 cards, one for clonezilla distro and one for WAN access. The WAN access needs to be DHCP and the clonezilla dstro needs to be private static please help me to config this, i am getting desperate and my boss is chewing my ass [14:45] Devcoder: hmm thats weird.. Do you have another pc or how are you on irc atm? [14:45] edthefox: (after selecting boot from cd) [14:45] farm: there are many. i think one already comes with gnome. check out also: http://localhost:631/ in a web browser [14:45] Lorkas: will it boot to cd on another computer? [14:45] Kesman another comp, kesman gimme a sec m8 im brb :) ill higlight you in a sec [14:45] Devcoder: ok [14:45] Guess I'm the one asking the question this time :) I was trying to install vista. Booted into ubuntu live cd and resized my ext3 partition. Problem is that vista install does see the reserved space and apparently is able to create a 'new' partition in that space, but it can't find 'a partition suitable for installation' for some reason. I'm now trying to create an ntfs partition from ubuntu, but gparted cant make ntfs partition.. MY QUESTI [14:46] how do you people keep up in here [14:46] edthefox: it boots on this one yep [14:46] clearscreen: VIsta wastes your psyical hard disk [14:46] sebsebseb: oh? [14:46] clearscreen: can't resize VIsta to a good size without risking dataloss [14:46] Meh, guess I'll just install XP then [14:46] clearscreen: yeah GParted won't do vista's partition properly, and the vista resizing itself stuff is not that good either [14:46] prince_jammys, the one that seems to be standarde in ubuntu - just the print job bit - not a printer manager... although localhost:631 could be a good plan :) ta! [14:47] clearscreen: if you got enough RAM, you can virtual machine Vista or XP [14:47] well gparted doesnt seem to be able to make ntfs partitions here.. so meh [14:47] Lorkas: ic, well. i'm at a loss [14:47] clearscreen: fine for everything pretty much, but not 3D games [14:47] clearscreen, xp's better anyway :] [14:47] Lorkas: I would just say to verify your bios settings [14:47] sebsebseb: the problem is that I need to develop C# XNA apps for my job, which is very buggy (very early 3d acceleration support) in VM's [14:47] edthefox: i updated the BIOS and rechecked the BIOS Settings, [14:47] ah dammit [14:47] Lorkas: do you have a windows cd to see if it will boot to that? [14:47] clearscreen: ok [14:48] than vista ... [14:48] sebsebseb about the trick to get another grup, i'm going to try frist the guide that the boot gave me, if i cant fix the problem i'll try that trick :) thanks alot for your help [14:48] edthefox: nope [14:48] XP it is then... not like im paying for this anyway [14:48] lol [14:48] clearscreen: well you can put Vista, on and save to the partition from Ubuntu anyway [14:48] alright, cya :D [14:48] Enpires: well I didn't tell you the trick, but yeah [14:48] edthefox: i also downloaded Gentoo to see if it worked and it is not loading it either [14:49] Lorkas: sounds like it's an issue with your fujitsu box [14:49] edthefox: yeh but i can not find the issue [14:50] edthefox: i'm a nublet with servers though [14:50] Lorkas: if I where you, I would google it [14:50] what does ubuntu deal with ? ?rpm ?sh ??? [14:50] sebsebseb, little problem :P i'm into the grub (sudo grub) and i tipe "find /grub/stage1" but it say me "error 15, file not found" (also if i type find /boot/grub/stage1) [14:50] i have 2 cards, one for clonezilla distro and one for WAN access. The WAN access needs to be DHCP and the clonezilla dstro needs to be private static please help me to config this [14:51] hi all i have a problem? [14:51] edthefox: i think it could be a server-only think, because on startup, before loading the BIOS it says [14:51] cip_: you really do? [14:51] edthefox: Adapter scan..... [14:51] Hey, you Ubuntu users! Do you have any idea what a luxury it is to be in the middle of installing some program and be able to just "sudo apt-get install build-essential" and have an entire compiler toolchain magically appear on your frakking hard drive? It's incredible... [14:51] I love Ubuntu sometimes... [14:51] edthefox: could be an issue of the SCSI adapter? [14:51] i wanted a linux driver for kyocera km 1635 printed? have you a idea [14:51] ? [14:51] Jimi_Neutral -> ok, just in time, you have dhcp server installed and serving on your eth2 yet but not on eth0 ? [14:52] Using ubuntu 8.10: is all the configuration for panels in home/.gconf/apps/panel ? So if i back up that folder then change all my panels. I can restore to the backup? [14:52] sebsebseb, are you still there? :) [14:52] #ubuntu-my === sirderigo_ is now known as sirderigo [14:52] edthefox: I'm thinking on removing it, since i dont have anything plugged to it [14:53] Enpires: yeah [14:53] Enpires: ok boot the computer from the Live CD [14:53] Lorkas: that may be it but I dunno, depends on the server i guess [14:53] done [14:53] edthefox: but i just dont have idea of what it does, so i might just fuck the things up ^^ [14:53] i was reading this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub [14:54] Enpires: right yeah [14:54] but i cant do the "find /grub/stage1" part [14:54] I just got a VPS from 1and1 with ubuntu 8 installed minimal / when I try use aptitude I'll get this error " -bash: aptitude: command not found [14:54] " [14:54] cause it says "error 15: file not found" [14:54] Enpires: yeah we are going to find out what Grub stuff is on your Ubuntu install [14:54] n8tuser: yes that was the case but now since removing the nm i can do whatever.....so it makes sense to have eth0 using dhcp, connecting to the netowrk and going to the internet and eth1 as the private one [14:55] ok so what i have to do? (however thanks 4 your patience) [14:55] Enpires: if you open up computer [14:55] ok [14:55] Lorkas: I would ask questions here -> http://forum.ts.fujitsu.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=77 [14:55] Enpires: you see the partition there? [14:55] n8tuser: eth1 being static [14:55] sure [14:55] but only from the live CD [14:55] Jimi_Neutral -> okay, they go ahead, have your eth0 towards the wan and eth1 towards the lan to serve clonezilla [14:55] Enpires: yeah the Live CD can access the partition that is on the hard disk [14:55] urbanterror [14:55] yes it can [14:55] Enpires: ,but don't get mixed up with the live cd file system [14:56] #urbanterror [14:56] yeah is what i thought [14:56] Enpires: open the one on your partition and then go to boot === opticalmouse is now known as phyz [14:56] n8tuser: yeah thats what i want, would you happen to know what i would have to type into /etc/network/interfaces to actually achieve this lol [14:56] so i found the right boot folder path, and i type that one [14:56] when I use sudo apt-get install mysql I'll recieve message that saying thereis not package :(( what should I do? [14:56] but it still tells me the same thing [14:57] Enpires: oh your using terminal? I am saying to use GUI :d === phyz is now known as opticalmouse [14:57] sebastien: are you there....it says wrong acquicteture ---->error [14:57] oh sorry :D ok i'm in the folder now [14:57] Nasra: ok your on 32bit I guess then [14:57] edthefox: seems like a server only thing [14:57] sebsebseb: then you correct [14:57] no body wants to answer me? [14:57] Nasra: or you don't have hardware virtualization set up or whatever [14:57] Jimi_Neutral -> you have it okay i believe as earlier, iface eth0 inet dhcp; iface eth1 inet static something like this [14:57] Nasra: get the other one then [14:57] ok [14:57] Jimi_Neutral -> man interfaces for a bit more detail [14:57] Pooria: what do you want to install, the server or the client? [14:58] sebsebseb: be right back [14:58] Kesman and yes im using an other comp for irc [14:58] n8tuser: man interfaces? [14:58] Enpires: actsully you could list the stuff in terminal [14:58] hmm [14:58] Jimi_Neutral -> yes to get the manual [14:58] edthefox: now it aint loading even windows because it says the system can not read from the boot cd [14:58] Enpires: ok get into there on the terminal. /media/partition/boot/grub [14:58] sebsebseb, do i have to list all files? using "ls"? [14:58] n8tuser: tpye man interfaces into a terminal? [14:58] I have a vPS server installed in minimal, I don't have any aptitude and I can not install anything from apt-get .... thereis not package avaible .... what should I do ziroday ? [14:58] edthefox: (i unplugged the scsi card [14:58] Enpires: sure [14:58] Devcoder: windows on it? Get yourself a program called "unetbootin" and use it to create a bootable usb-stick with ubuntu 8.10 on it and boot again, so you wont waste cd's anymore [14:59] ok do you want the list of all files? [14:59] Enpires: just want to check that the Grub files are there or not, probably are, and then maybe it's just your menu list that has gone bad [14:59] Pooria: err what? What do you mean you don't have apt-get or aptitude? [14:59] Devcoder: then try again, it should be able to boot to livecd without any hdd's installed [14:59] i love the updating and package manager on this distro [14:59] kesman how much space is needed? [14:59] Enpires: sure everything in /boot and /boot/grub [14:59] Devcoder: ~700mb, how much does ubuntu image take? [14:59] n8tuser: ok i did that and its not working [14:59] Kesman biggest usb drive are 256mb..... [14:59] oh crap [15:00] okok the files that i have into the grub folder are [default / device.map / menu.list] [15:00] they cost like 10eur in the local supermarket dude [15:00] with at least 2gb [15:00] sebsebseb, into boot (wait i have to type all names by myself) [15:00] ziroday , for example see this statement and error : [15:00] root@s15333026:~/mysql-5.1.33# sudo apt-get install build-essential [15:00] Reading package lists... Done [15:00] Building dependency tree...

[15:02] okok [15:02] zeroday, hereis my sources.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/142808/ | I don't know how I have logged in as root , this VPS is from 1and1 and 1and1 made this happen! [15:02] ping [15:02] Jimi_Neutral -> no sweat, i have things to do too, so be patient, and awaken me once you;re ready [15:03] so wait 1 minute that i connet my computer :D [15:03] Enpires: you said it just flash on Grub? [15:03] Pooria: ugh. i don't even think that's an official ubuntu mirror [15:03] hello very guy [15:03] Enpires: it's an odd issue. bad menu.list missing files in boot /boot/grub and Grub didn't install properly to the MBR. that's what comes to mind [15:03] LjL , what should I do now then? please help me I need this VPS [15:04] sebsebseb, ok... so i can do anything? [15:04] *can i do anything? [15:04] Enpires: re installing Grub, would probably help [15:04] Pooria: who setup this VPS, its done extremely badly. You need to change your repo's to some that actually exist [15:04] Pooria: either complain to your VPS server for telling you they gave you Ubuntu, when they didn't... [15:04] Enpires: ,but it may be as simple as changing something in menu list to get it working [15:04] Pooria: or, i guess, change your sources.list to point to REAL ubuntu mirrors [15:04] Pooria; ask 1and1 to re-create the vps with Ubuntu on it [15:04] LjL would u give me source.llist ? [15:05] Enpires: yeah if you can get online with that, I can see the menu.list and at least tell you if that's ok or not [15:05] mashanks , actualy I did and got this shit [15:05] Pooria: yes, moment [15:05] language please [15:05] LjL thanks man [15:05] Pooria, you might be able to do that yourself - most vps allow you to re-create an original image (and they might have a selection of distro images you can pick from) [15:05] sorry * [15:05] sebsebseb, okok now i try to pastebin the menu list [15:05] Pooria: is the server located in canada? [15:05] no [15:05] LjL is in US [15:05] ok, i'll use the US mirrors then [15:06] LjL thanks man [15:06] !pastebin [15:06] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [15:06] can someone give me the pastebin link please [15:06] LjL: I know your also knowledagable :) maybe you can help Enpries get Grub working, he only gets a flash. He is going to pastebin the menu.list [15:06] lol tu [15:06] Pooria: this should work http://paste.ubuntu.com/142810/ [15:06] LjL I should just paste this ? [15:07] sebsebseb, the menu.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/142811/ [15:07] sebsebseb: flash like what? a USB key? [15:07] Pooria: you should paste it instead of your current sources.list [15:07] Pooria: then issue "sudo apt-get update" [15:07] Enpires: tell your issue to Ljl as well, he is pretty knowledgable about this kind of stuff, more so than me in fact I expect [15:08] ok thanks [15:08] where the hell is the talk about anything i want room????

[15:10] LjL I did [15:10] n8tuser: ok [15:10] LjL lemme reboot vps [15:10] Pooria: i don't think so. "nano /etc/apt/sources.list", see what it says [15:10] DON'T reboot anything [15:11] sebsebseb: is dowloaded and configured VirtualBox 2.1...now how does it work ? ....is it under Application, internet? [15:11] is configure and everything [15:11] Enpires: ok your menu.list seems bad [15:11] LjL, ok. when i start my computer i see my ASUS logo, after (when i ususally shoose what OS i want to start) i can only see a flashing line [15:11] and i cant do anything [15:11] Enpires: so basically GRUB isn't even starting? [15:11] LjL: this his menu.list and there seems to be quite a few issues with it http://paste.ubuntu.com/142811/ [15:11] yeah, i think that [15:11] Enpires: do you get a prompt? [15:12] Any Java guru's here ? [15:12] nono i cant type anything [15:12] dcamp25, try #java ? [15:12] Enpires: can you boot from a live cd or something? [15:12] thanks [15:12] ziroday`: http://pastebin.com/m5646d513 [15:12] dcamp25: what's the question? [15:12] yeah i did it [15:12] LjL: he is on the live cd [15:12] hello! [15:12] i'm using (in the broken pc) a live CD [15:12] Hey [15:12] ok [15:12] i also copy the menu.list file on pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/142811/ [15:13] Enpires: I think a bad menu.list is your problem, after looking at that [15:13] LjL can u give me againe the link of the sources.list ? [15:13] can someone tell me how to configure ffmpeg to support xvid? i allready downloaded the svn but i need the correct "./configure ..." command... i can't find it anywhere... Thanks in advance! :) [15:13] hey all, i am trying to burn an ISO with k3b, but when I load the app, I get an error saying, "No CD/DVD writer found." What can I do? [15:13] Enpires: where is your root partition currently mounted? [15:13] Enpires: and what is it called? [15:13] Pooria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/142810/ [15:13] efefppo: you're using the open source radeon driver, not the closed source fglrx driver [15:13] how sweet is that i click upgrade and it set my distro as newest one out [15:13] ehm LjL, sorry if i'm so bad, but i dont know how to know that :D [15:14] Enpires: well, you pasted your menu.lst so your root partition must be mounted *somewhere*. how did you open menu.lst? [15:14] ziroday`: thanks! wow the performance is great [15:14] jonathan__: take a look in the readme, it usually explains the configure switches there [15:14] Jimi_Neutral -> ok, you have to figure out which nic is eth0, you can do simple test, ping your dhcp server [15:14] LjL: he did on the live cd [15:14] LjL: after I got him to [15:14] sebsebseb: ok, but how? [15:14] Having trouble installing ubuntu on a new re-assembled pc. Basic setup with 1xIDE harddisk and 1xIDE DVD-RW. I boot up on Ubuntu disc fine, but when I've selected language and pressed install (or F4 for alternate) it goes to Console mode: Loading, please wait.... BusyBox v1.10.2.... (initramfs)... Tried several discs, low burn speed, etc. so disc should be fine. What to do ?? [15:14] ahh ok, i just gone into DATA/ubuntu/disks/boot/grub [15:14] LjL thankssssssssssss bro updating [15:14] n8tuser: how do i do that on my ubuntu box [15:15] Running Ubuntu v8.10 [15:15] G8_Zer0: try with acpi=off [15:15] Where can I select that? [15:15] Enpires: wouldn't that be /media/DATA/ubuntu/dists/boot/grub? [15:15] ziroday` -> Where can I select that? [15:15] ehm... right :D [15:15] G8_Zer0: its a an option when booting up the livecd [15:15] Jimi_Neutral -> work with one interface at a time, sudo ifdown eth0; move the ethernet cable and see if you get an ip address and ping the router [15:15] Enpires: look, type "mount" and pastebin the output [15:15] LjL my server doesn't have aptitude , just has apt-get , how can I install aptitude ? [15:15] G8_Zer0, edit the boot command and add acpi=off to it [15:15] ziroday` -> PM, ok ? [15:15] Pooria: sudo apt-get install aptitude [15:16] hey how do I use grep so that it shows where the string came from ? [15:16] G8_Zer0: no, please keep it in here [15:16] *matching string came from btw [15:16] Enpires: Grub can't find your partition, that's the problem [15:16] disappearedng: "man grep" will tell you that the "-n" option shows line numbers for matches [15:16] mshanks, so extract iso first, edit acpi, and re-build iso? Or is it chooseable on boot up ? [15:16] LjL http://paste.ubuntu.com/142821/ [15:16] ziroday` -> sure.. [15:16] G8_Zer0: on the livecd, there is an "other option" selection, go to there and add acpi=off [15:16] Choosable on boot up [15:16] Ok, will reboot. brb 2 mins :) [15:17] G8_Zer0; exactly as ziroday said :) [15:17] G8_Zer0: you don't need to rebuild anything [15:17] my bad ;) [15:17] Enpires: err? do you have your Ubuntu installed on a *Windows* (NTFS) partition?! [15:17] LjL oh I was looking for -H btw thx [15:17] yes with WUBI [15:17] lol GB on boot options at start [15:17] sebsebseb: is installed and ready to go, how do I test it with a flavour of linux? [15:17] thanks [15:17] Enpires: ok you could have told me that earlier, and we could have saved time [15:17] Enpires: ah, i see. i don't know anything about how Wubi works, but it's likely entirely different from a normal install [15:18] Enpires: LjL and me would both recommend against Wubi [15:18] ehm... i didnt know it was important... sorry [15:18] Pooria, there isnt a mysql package, are u trying to install the server? [15:18] LjL: I know that you know certain things :D [15:18] sebsebseb: I mean VirtualBox.... [15:18] Nasra: yep ok [15:18] Nasra: got the UBuntu ISO or CD? [15:18] Enpires: well i'm sorry but i don't think i have the slighest idea how to fix GRUB on a Wubi install [15:18] Nasra: wait what are you testing? [15:19] Enpires: the instructions i was about to give you may likely just break it further [15:19] sebsebseb: nothing .... [15:19] understeand... however thanks 4 the lost time [15:19] Enpires: no not yet [15:19] n8tuser: ok i tpyed in 'sudo ifdown eth0' into the terminal and it came back with 'etc/network/intrfaces:14: option with empty value on the next line and then ifdown: couldnt read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces/" on the next line after that [15:19] Same result with acpi set to off [15:19] Enpires: how much RAM does your computer have? [15:19] sebsebseb: just want to get version of another linux ----> Xandros [15:19] G8_Zer0: hmm, also try with noapic [15:19] 3gb [15:19] both ? [15:19] Enpires: ok good [15:19] Enpires, might be worth asking on the wubi support forums - from what Ljl and sebsebseb have said, sounds like your problem is there, rather than with ubuntu itself [15:19] G8_Zer0: do other distro's/windows work? [15:20] or only noapic ? [15:20] G8_Zer0, try with just noapic [15:20] Enpires: on this so called broken PC you can get into Windows? oh you can't since wubi [15:20] Kesman i tried the cd on an other computer, got the crc error again. Im guessing my cdrom/burner is fucked up. [15:20] G8_Zer0: try with both, or only with noapic [15:20] what's the Wubi channel? [15:20] try sudo apt-get install mysql- and then press tab until it lists the possible packages, thats what i generally do :P [15:20] if that doesn't work, try them both (noapic and acpi=off [15:20] ziroday`, haven't tried, but should work- [15:20] Kesman how doues it sound to you? [15:20] nono i cant get into windows [15:20] sebsebseb: just remember just want to run as live cd mode.... [15:20] mshanks: yep, i have no idea where those would be found (and don't see a wubi channel on freenode) though [15:20] Nasra: ewww don't do Xandros [15:20] Jimi_Neutral -> you have a mistake on your interfaces file, you did get a chance to read man interfaces to see a sample interfaces file? [15:20] Enpires: have you got Windows CD? [15:20] Will try noapic [15:20] Does anyone know why k3b wouldn't be able to recognize an external USB DVD/CD burner? [15:20] sebsebseb: huh? [15:20] no :\ [15:20] Enpires: the forums have a wubi section, you might have better luck there [15:20] <_spm_Draget> Is there a way to list all installed packages withotu dependencies. [15:21] n8tuser: yes but not all of it [15:21] sebsebseb: which one? [15:21] Kesman you around? :D [15:21] Enpires, sebsebseb: besides, as far as i know, Wubi doesn't use GRUB to start Windows - it just adds an entry to Windows' boot.ini - its own bootloader. so the problem might be there and not in GRUB at all [15:21] mmm doesnt exists a IRC wubi channel? [15:21] LjL: yeah that sounds about right [15:21] Jimi_Neutral -> well if you dont read all of it, you'd miss important details [15:21] Enpires: not that i can see [15:21] Brasero recognizes the drive, so I dont understand why k3b cannot see it. [15:21] ok so it's better if i try onwubi forum right? [15:21] Nasra: download something [15:21] Enpires, have a hunt around on some general support forums if you can't find any wubi-dedicated ones. You won't be the first to have this problem [15:21] Nasra: other distro stuff is kind of off topic here though [15:21] Devcoder: yes here [15:22] Kesman i tried the cd on an other computer, got the crc error again. Im guessing my cdrom/burner is fucked up. [15:22] okok... thank you very much!! [15:22] Enpires: i would try that, yes - also try asking here again every 10 minutes or so (not more often than that), but be sure to specify you're on wubi [15:22] Kesman how doues it sound to you? [15:22] Jimi_Neutral -> here is a sample interfaces file ... http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [15:22] sebsebseb: I know that..... [15:22] _spm_Draget, dpkg -l | less [15:22] ok! i'll do that ;) [15:22] Devcoder: possible. If you only had a larger usb-stick around... [15:22] Enpires: I have some ideas, but not the best ideas, but stuff that could work [15:22] Kesman and the cdroom might have coused the BSOD to right. [15:22] unr3a1, had the same problem with k3b, would cause the usb drive mount to break [15:22] Devcoder: maybe [15:22] sebsebseb you'll disconnect soon? [15:22] *will you [15:23] Kesman and when i tried to install debian, it couldnt identify the cdrom. but when i installed debian on that computer before, it worked [15:23] Can I get pointed in the right direction as far as anti-virus? Clam? and If Clam which package!? [15:23] hi guys.. i decompressed an install.txt.gz file and when i open it in gedit i get those binary square symbol thingies.. why ? and how do I remove them / get the correct output? [15:23] Kesman im gonna try using an other rom. :D [15:23] sebsebseb: so any once I have the distro ready........just pop it in the CDROM and thats it ...or do I have to do anything in the Bios Settings/ [15:23] ? [15:23] Enpires: no and Nasra wants my help with something as well, that goes off topic in here. so both of you join my tempory channel #nasraenpires [15:23] Enpires, sounds like obi wan kenobi might help ya ;p [15:23] <_spm_Draget> ga_bash: are those packages without the automatically installed dependencies? [15:23] <_spm_Draget> it looks like much [15:24] ok [15:24] :D [15:24] ;) [15:24] _spm_Draget, i guess there are no standalone packages... there are always those that depend on libraries.. [15:24] so dependency is always there [15:24] hi guys.. i decompressed an install.txt.gz file and when i open it in gedit i get those binary square symbol thingies.. why ? and how do I remove them / get the correct output? [15:24] Devcoder: do that [15:24] Enpires: join that channel [15:24] salve [15:24] Enpires: plus this is so busy etc [15:25] Pooria, there is no mysql package, there is, however, mysql-server... this will work: sudo apt-get install mysql-server [15:25] * micca thinks sebsebseb is gonna perform a virtual private lapdance [15:25] ziroday`, does the same with noapic, acpi, noapic+acpi. Will try with windows disk now. just to see if it works [15:25] n8tuser: i cant see any errors apart from forgetting to put the work netmask in front of the mask, but that shouldnt affect the dhcp card [15:25] sysdoc, what did you do to fix it? [15:25] micca: everything on a single line? [15:25] n8tuser: word* [15:25] Need assistance installing java [15:26] yeah? sudo apt-get install java-jre [15:26] G8_Zer0: hmph, that usually allows you boot it up, also do a memcheck and check cd for defects [15:26] micca: not quite [15:26] hbekel.. nope [15:26] did that, no applets run, can not find class path [15:26] hbekel: it seems ot be ok but a lot of those sqaures with 0008 in them between leters [15:26] unr3a1, sorry havent fixed it yet, just used Brasero [15:26] can ubuntu tell me what the model of my mobo is? [15:27] ziroday`, it does boot up, but after choosing languaghe, alternate boot, etc, and shows ubuntu loading screen, 1-2 mins after it gives me busybox msg and initramsf [15:27] (ya sorry sebsebseb, it is customary of me to throw out useless garble inbetween busy on topic discussions ;)) [15:27] Jimi_Neutral -> see those samples so you get an idea how it should be like [15:27] and whilst im at it.. does nedit still exist.. do ppl still like it? [15:27] G8_Zer0: right, which sounds like some seriously incompatible hardware or broken hardware. Personally I'm leaning towards the former [15:27] sysdoc, but I am having brasero problems as well. brasero is unable to close discs [15:27] G8_Zer0: and usually (hopefully) a boot option fixes that [15:28] sysdoc, which is why I am trying to use k3b. I used it yesterday no problem, but now today, it says it can't find the cd/dvd drive [15:28] n8tuser: i just had a look at it and changed it and now when i type sudo ifdown eth0 i get ifown: interface eth 0 not configured [15:28] After installing sun-java-6 i get load class errors [15:28] Jimi_Neutral -> post your interfaces file again please [15:28] ziroday`, boot option, like apic, noapic, etc? Cuz trying windows now, just to see if it installs [15:28] hbekel: did you have somethign in mind or? [15:28] G8_Zer0: yep [15:28] Dcamp is java-6 using your own java applet or other sites? [15:28] dcamp25 -> what errors ? [15:29] other sites [15:29] hi guys.. i decompressed an install.txt.gz file and when i open it in gedit i get those binary square symbol thingies.. why ? and how do I remove them / get the correct output? [15:29] unr3a1, start by looking at thesae solutions. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k3b/+bug/25380 [15:29] micca, removing them will remove the content of the file. sounds like some thing forked on the decompression. [15:29] micca: use gunzip [15:29] likely, you did it you :p [15:29] micca→ sounds like you didn't really decompress the file [15:29] the errors vary, but always load fail and some class object, even on the java test page [15:29] anyone know a good ebook for linux command line [15:30] mshanks kitche i used gzip -d file.gz [15:30] !terminal | macman_ [15:30] macman_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[15:32] awww [15:32] Jimi_Neutral -> you just do a sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [15:32] ziroday, i was through this before... because later I will port it to a standalone server system at an university [15:32] and I want to run the set up here and test security etc etc [15:32] Jimi_Neutral -> btw, you have figured out which nic is which? [15:32] micca; I told you it wasn't going to be easy :p [15:33] i still am gutted that the gz files disappered though and weren decompressed [15:33] LOL mshanks , this is just the readme files :P:P [15:33] !nvidia [15:33] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:33] It's a good way of stopping people who aren't ready for it yet getting started haha :p [15:33] n8tuser: no thats what iw as trying to do when it was coming up with the errors [15:33] well i already have found some other alternatives, but I wish to try out the ircd or hybridserver [15:33] haha mshanks.. have faith!!! :D [15:33] hi , [15:34] !java [15:34] 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 [15:34] ziroday`, About the machine, it's a former Pre-assambled machine (Parckard Bell), it ran windowsXP, I have a option in the bios about S.M.A.R.T options on IDE drive.

[15:45] sebsebseb, i'm an openbsd user on daily basis. i know how to debug the systems etc.&etc. in this case i have to instruct the person remotely over the telephone, because i cannnot connect to the system myself. [15:45] alright: is there a way to redownload onnly the docs part of a package or not? [15:46] artis: well you can give them a SSH account, get them to install x11vnc. give them two commands. and yeah [15:46] the only information i have gathered is the precise error message, hdd and cpu activity, sebsebseb [15:46] ziroday, anywhere on the harddrive. [15:46] n8tuser: now the only worrying thing is that the gigabit card which is set at a private address is connecting to the net, which it really shoudlnt should it, with no gateway set or anything lol [15:46] Lou_: I don't have that file, but it doesn't mean anything.

[15:47] n8thuser: my bad, it must have justr been the cached ubuntu/google start page [15:47] sebsebseb, i need no help with openSSH, i'm proficient with it. what i want to know is the *reason* behind Gnome Settings Daemon failing after an automated and routine software update sometime earlier this week. [15:48] ziroday, i'm sure with mine. i have a core 2 duo. how about core duos (without the "2")?

[15:49] simion.. making it an image or pdf or so ye.. pdf though dpeends on the client the users use.. in any way.. they can always make a print screen of the image and scan text etc etc [15:49] artis: I don't know enough about that stuff, wait for someone else === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak [15:49] simion314: or a gpg signed email [15:49] sebsebseb, ok [15:49] Jimi_Neutral -> you're welcome, usually i only nudge to get them in the right directions [15:49] artis, I'm by no means an expert, but if they can boot without using Gnome, so into a console, could the daemon be started from there, or re-installed perhaps? [15:49] artis: or maybe even ask in #linux since your issue is not exaclty distro specific? [15:49] ziroday, I want to reinstall libc.so.6. What package would it be in? [15:50] Lou_: where is that file? [15:50] mshanks, yes that could be done, although we have to keep in mind that i would have to dictate the precise prosedure over the phone. so, it is best if i can keep it simple & short. [15:50] aide en français pour ''out of scan range'' [15:50] micca: try 'cat install.txt | col -b > install.txt2' [15:50] how do I mount a filesystem manually as root, but still enabling regular users to read/write to that filesystem [15:51] I see. Perhaps a shorter/easier way would be to have them install ssh (assuming it's not already?), you connect and do it through console? [15:51] n8tuser: Now i dont mind that, if i was at home and it was cause i want to learn it in my own time, but this was my boss hammering me to get it down when he knows i dont even know linux [15:51] thanks hbekel: btw. gunzip -d did the same thing to the file [15:51] ziroday: i seen that pdf is not secure, and to scan the text on my language with be hard because the software uses english dictionary and romanian alphabet has more letters [15:51] !fr | jobine [15:51] jobine: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[15:51] Lou_: install apt-file, then do apt-file /path/to/libc.so.6 [15:52] merci [15:52] Jimi_Neutral -> get your boss some doughnuts and coffee -- he'll be quiet for a while.. lol [15:52] ok hbekel: someoen said to use it instead of gzip.. anyway... I get a permission denied when i do the command with sudo in front of it [15:52] ziroday, thanks! [15:53] ziroday: so postcript saves the document as images? not as text?

[16:07] Lint01: there's a whole ubuntu distro for that too :) Xubuntu. [16:07] Lint01: yea [16:07] sebseb: there is no working flash player for amd64, gnash and swfdec don't work on commerical/professional/complicated sites [16:07] Lint01: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [16:08] 32 bit, then :) wont experiment with that. hehe [16:08] Dreamglider: Yes i do [16:08] wers: I've spent unreal amounts of time trying to get flash/java working right.. most of the time firefox just crashes (with the official flash plugin from adobe) [16:08] bitwiser: ok well go an whine at Youtube, and other websites that use Flash for video, and tell them to use a open format instead, that is a real vidoe format, OGG etc [16:09] has it a keyboard switcher? I've tried some distros, not one had it, and inet instructions are quite outdated. [16:09] Hey guys. Does anyone know of any mp3 splitters? If it could read from .cue files too, it would be awesome. Thanks in advance [16:09] bitwiser: indeed though Flash is pretty much pointless, except for this Flash video stupidity [16:09] sebseb: not my problem, I use vbox with an xp machine, so I can watch youtube/fox.com(house m.d)/etc with no issues [16:09] bitfish, aw. that's too impractical. i dont think the advantages of installing 64bit would be worth it then [16:09] Is there an easy way to read/edit the aspell custom dictionary? [16:10] bitwiser: you can run the 32bit apps [16:10] i meant, bitwiser [16:10] wers: for me it is, I have over 4GB ram [16:10] sebsebseb, how easy is it to install 32bit apps? [16:10] sebseb: it's a can of worms.. why mess with it [16:10] wers: you got 1GB RAM like me, so just do the 32bit version [16:11] okay. got it [16:11] wers: by the way [16:11] I seem to have somehow gotten flash working in 64 bit ages ago [16:11] but now I don't know how I did it =/l [16:11] wers: 9.04 with optional Ext4 supopurt is just around the corner in a few weeks [16:11] wers: the only difference beyond applicatoins optimized for 64, is the 4gb ram limit [16:11] wers: so if you install 8.10 now, well [16:11] Can anyone help me with an issue I'm having with Clonezilla? User error on my part I think [16:11] sebsebseb, and what does it have to do with 64bit? [16:11] wers: nothing, and you going way off topic [16:12] okay. i have intrepid now. i'll install jaunty when it's out and i've been planning to format my root as ext4 [16:13] wers: yeah that's what I was getitng at basically, at the moment some data loss issue or whatever with Ext4 [16:13] wers: ,but yeah clean install for Ext4 [16:13] wers: or limited functionality after doing something to Ext3 === Nick is now known as Guest60271 [16:14] whats this problem with ext4? =( [16:14] sebsebseb, there's data loss on ext4? [16:14] you mean, it's buggy? [16:14] /join #clonezilla [16:14] oops, sorry [16:14] wers: depends, but there has been a dataloss issue. I am waiting for 9.04 final before I get rid of this beta, and put 9.04 on with Ext4. I mean I am waiting for good reviews for Ext4 === mshanks is now known as mshanks2 [16:15] wers: yes running it on Ext3, anyway this is offtopic here, but not in #ubuntu+1 ,but I think I still can't join there again [16:16] why cant you, sebsebseb ? [16:16] wers: ,because I got banned, and not meant to talk about that here either [16:16] hahaha. ok [16:16] sebseb: are you fluent with clonezilla? [16:17] jo [16:17] Scavenger09: no never used it [16:17] okayk [16:17] justina: hi [16:17] hi [16:17] What do you use to clone your system? [16:17] hello [16:17] !backup [16:17] hehe mshanks I do see what you mean.. but the irc conf is no larger than a mysql server tbh.. and albeit more than half a decade ago.. i did configure several mysql and apache servers etc [16:17] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [16:17] !cloning [16:17] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [16:18] I've just installed Ubuntu 9.04 beta on an older Macbook (version 1.1) and are getting some performance issues using Intel GMA :/ Compiz is lagging like hell (it was fine in 8.10 on the same computer), turning on the uxa acceleration the performance is a bit better than in 8.10, but it's to unstable to use. Is there some way to get back the performance I had in 8.10 with the same stability? Now without uxa enabled I can't even watch youtube [16:18] Do you know if any / all of them overwrite the mbr when they restore an ntfs partition? I restored using clonezilla and it left a virus on the system, which I am assuming was in the mbr? [16:18] Scavenger09: see above [16:18] hello, is there some Ubuntu IRC channel for bugs & troubleshooting them. I have found out a bug that doesn't allow me boot 9.04 beta in my laptop.

[16:20] Scavenger09: if your computer has enough RAM, you can run a XP virtual machine inside Ubuntu for that [16:20] I do have a VM for XP, but it will not run my recording gear - something with the drivers [16:20] so I'm stuck with an install of XP [16:20] zamba: Dapper is nearly no longer suppourted [16:21] Scavenger09: I expect you can get that sorted out in #vbox [16:21] sebsebseb: all people who run Windows, do it for it's better hardware compatibility [16:21] Lint01: wrong, most do it, because of the software it runs [16:21] so vm usually is not tht choice [16:21] sebsebseb: dapper has 5 years of support, not? [16:21] I have been meaning to check out vb [16:21] vbox [16:21] Better support than VM? [16:21] Lint01: unless you're me.

[17:10] Question about /etc/network/intefaces ... i've got an alias IP configured for eth0; last line of 'interfaces' has: auto eth0 eth0:1 .... upon system boot, it hangs on 'configuring network interfaces' for about a bloody year before finally continuing with boot process. [17:10] amigo_rich: cool [17:10] Hi I have a problem. I'm using xubuntu 64, and recently it has started acting up on boot. During the boot, it goes to text mode, scrolls a bunch of messages quite fast, and then the system starts beeping, continuously, just as something about initrd comes up in the messages. Then It starts the normal boot messages (something ..... [OK]), with the beep continuing. Finally, the beep switches from very loud to very quiet (but still on) and it goes int [17:11] Once I get to a command line, ifconfig indicates that eth0 & eth0:1 are indeed active. ... anyone have insight about this interminable hang-up? [17:11] swiftarrow: you got cut off at "and it goes int" [17:11] with all this trouble with Chinese and Russians Hackers I definitively want to dish Windows once and for all. in fact They are tracing Conficker back to Russia [17:11] ok.. and it goes into graphical mode. Sometimes it goes into the proper gdm login screen, but the last few times it has just turned up a screen with a seemingly random pink cloud like structure on the screen, and stops. Nothing works. Any Ideas? [17:11] [9:41pm] puttblug: Once I get to a command line, ifconfig indicates that eth0 & eth0:1 are indeed active. ... anyone have insight about this interminable hang-up? [17:12] eh? i didnt say that. [17:12] All the way up to Any Ideas is mine. === thiago__ is now known as thedoor [17:12] puttblug: Is there anything pertinent in /var/log/messages? [17:13] swiftarrow: I 'spect you're going to have to dig up some error messages, unless someone here has a case of the crystal balls. :) [17:13] amigo_rich: Not that I can see. [17:13] Rytmis, any idea how I can do that? [17:13] EvilAIM: I've seen that before. I don't really want to have to buy turbo print though. [17:14] swiftarrow: wee-ell, /var/log/messages is a good place to start spelunking [17:14] Rytmis: ok, I will try. Thanks. [17:14] Heimark My experience is that Canon Has given more trouble driverwise than any other brand I still can not make my Combo printer work specially that scanner. [17:15] * puttblug thinks something is up w/resolv.conf ... odd. [17:15] I thought the dns-nameservers section of an eth* block in /etc/network/interfaces was responsible for setting /etc/resolv.conf ... am I mistaken? [17:15] UbuntuCop: yeah, I think I'll probably just switch it out for my parents cheaper HP, I'm sure it will work just fine with XP for them. === thelordmortis|aw is now known as thelordmortis [17:16] akazawa, any help for me?

[17:27] !work | UbuntuCop [17:27] UbuntuCop: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [17:27] UbuntuCop: besides that, you can address the channel, not just me [17:28] I have a multifunctions printer and the scanner it is simply no recognized [17:28] UbuntuCop: not recognised where, what have you done to set it up/ use it ? [17:28] UbuntuCop ??? [17:28] I'm using 8.10 on a thinkpad t61. I've just recently pulled updates for my nvidia drivers and xserver, and now my machine will not properly resume from suspend. I get a black screen. Is anyone familiar with this issue and perhaps a fix? [17:29] bpr: which nvidia updates, from where ? [17:29] through the restricted drivers manager [17:29] bpr: and it won't wake from suspend at all ? [17:29] hi all [17:29] I have a problem: I (in sessions) tried to get fire starter to load on boot...i was not aware it was pass word only start...I deleted it from sessions...(now) the gui still wants to start asking for permissions...how do I stop this? [17:29] UbuntuCop is a ignorant [17:30] Well what would be the proper way to set it up. since there is an app in ubuntu use to scan documents but it does not recognize my device, like it does not exist [17:30] \o/ [17:30] ikonia: i get a black screen. It looks like it might be awake though. Sorry for the poor answer there [17:30] ikonia, lol you ask weird questions sometimes xD [17:30] bpr: no no, thats fine [17:30] spanther: what weird question ? [17:30] hi [17:30] my laptop takes years to start, I m using intrepid and it shows activating swap file for a long time [17:30] The Ubuntu server edition just installs ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-standard (as well as kernel, language pack, and other stuff)? [17:30] plz help [17:30] UbuntuCop is a ignorant// yes I am an ignorant [17:30] UbuntuCop: please ignore it - he's gone [17:30] ikonia, he said it doesnt come out again and the next time you asked for the exactly same he answered before ^^ [17:31] ill just go ahead and ask the question [17:31] spanther: re-read what I asked and his response [17:31] i do :) [17:31] bpr: so it looks like it's actaully awake, but the screen is not alive [17:31] when does jaunty officially come out? [17:31] how can i see a pc from my ubuntu?? [17:31] the 10th? [17:31] Anyone help me with my ubuntu crashing? I installed the nvidia 177 drivers and now my ubuntu wont startup [17:31] mate1: if you have network activated, you can 'reach' other computers [17:31] ikonia: yes. though i haven't tried sshing in from remote [17:31] ikonia: so i can't be sure [17:32] how do i do that? [17:32] bpr: that would be a helpful test so we can look at your logs while it's in the unknown state [17:32] its a computer with windows.. [17:32] Minor723: .. recovery mode? [17:32] With ubuntu 8.10 was also havin a probling with the header of every windows , it did vanish [17:32] mate1: what do you mean by "see a pc"? [17:32] ikonia: ok. I can't do that right now though :-/ [17:32] *problem [17:32] matel: if it has file sharing enabled you should be able to just search for it [17:32] mean reach a computer [17:32] bruenig: understood [17:32] bruenig: oops, sorry [17:32] bpr: understood [17:32] mate1: you and I probably have wildly different definitions for "reach" [17:32] mate1: Do you know the name or ip-address the windows machine uses? Then (for starters) you can "ping" that computer. [17:33] how do i roll back / edit my video card drviers ? [17:33] aha [17:33] cos they have shat emselves [17:33] matel: if you're using gnome, you can just go to "Places"-->"Network". assuming you have sharing enabled on the windows machine [17:33] oCean_: I 'spect he means SMB shares. :-) [17:33] Excell I have tried all the options inrecovery mode none of them work. I can get to the login screen with regurlar mode. It just says kinit: No Resume image [17:33] i cant change visual effects [17:33] njk123: what does cat /proc/swaps show? [17:33] hi, how can I set up a wireless network [17:33] Rytmis: ah, that is very well possible [17:33] i want to acces a computer thats on my network to get some files from it [17:33] matel: do you have file sharing enabled on the windows machine? [17:33] the computer i want to acces has windows [17:34] yes [17:34] asdasd, is your wireless network an intel WiFi ? :) [17:34] how do i roll back / edit my video card drviers ? [17:34] Minor723: did you try to re-do X in recovery mode? [17:34] I have no clue, how can I find it out? [17:34] hello does anyone have the answer to my question? [17:34] matel: do you have the files you're trying to get listed as available to share? you have to do this physically on the windows machine [17:34] bpr: do you still have the old kernel installed (I believe there was a kernel update with the nvidia package) [17:34] asdasd, your manual :) [17:34] yes [17:34] Yes, I will try again, but its doing the same thing. Is there a command I can run to redo x? I dont think thats whats wrong though because I restored xorg.conf from a backup i made and its still not working [17:34] ikonia: let me check [17:35] I'd guess it is [17:35] matel: are you using standard ubuntu, i.e. gnome? [17:35] . how do i roll back / edit my video card drviers ? [17:35] yes [17:35] woot woot 29 mins left of update. [17:35] I'm assuming it is an Intel WiFi [17:35] matel: if so, just go to "Places" then click on "Network" and you should be able to see your computer there [17:35] ok [17:35] ill try that [17:36] and let you know.. [17:36] Is there to increase the scroll length of my terminal? [17:36] ikonia: yes i have many kernels haha. 2.6.27-14-generic is the newest. I do have 2.6.27-13-generic and more available [17:36] asdasd, if so then just click the network icon on the upper left side and you see some wireless networks [17:37] hello there what was the command (in command line) to check if your hard disk is working in the right order? [17:37] piglit: you'll have to install smartmontools [17:37] piglit: sudo apt-get install smartmontools [17:37] CrIp: did you install them with apt or synaptic? [17:38] I just did xfix and rebooted, same problem. How can I find out why ubuntu is not booting [17:38] piglit: maybe a "sudo fdisk -l" already gives you what you want [17:38] piglit: then use the command sudo smartctl -H /dev/sdX where X is the drive you want [17:38] not sure [17:38] oke thank i'll try that!!! :-)) [17:38] saerg: is there a difference? [17:38] somethng happened on one of the updates [17:39] [17:39] saerg: or were you just going for the "dis you use a package manager" angle? :) [17:39] noone there [17:39] saerg, [17:39] bpr: I think you have the proposed repo enabled [17:39] bpr: that could well be the problem, those packages are not stable [17:39] ikonia: ah. let me see [17:39] Rytmis: he might have used a binary driver with some installer [17:39] piglit: if you have a SATA drive it'll be /dev/sdX if its an IDE it'll be /dev/hdX [17:39] ikonia: yes i do [17:39] ikonia: is there a way to gracefully downgrade? [17:40] Excell, are you still here. I am still having problems with this new kernel / nvidia driver [17:40] bpr: ok, I suspect that will cause you pain, disable it, and use the 2.6.27-11 kernel and see how you get on [17:40] is there an alternative server i can tell update manager to use? it's crawling so slowly right now :( [17:40] bpr: the next round of updates will tidy up for you [17:40] piglit: an easy way to find out is to type "df -h" and see which is mounted on / [17:40] ikonia: ok thanks [17:41] * bruenig shakes fist at ikonia [17:41] CrIp: you can install a specific version of a package with: sudo apt-get install packe-name=version-number [17:41] ikonia: should i disable backports as well? [17:41] shawn_: i can see the network, but i still can see the files i want [17:41] how do i find out what bloody driver i need saerg [17:41] and check settings ? [17:42] ive just hit re download and re-install on all vid drivers [17:42] ill see if that werks [17:42] ill be back [17:42] maybe :) [17:42] I'm having problems with installing wireless networks. Is there a way to configure my already existing wireless chip? [17:43] i want to install a package on ubuntu dapper from a newer ubuntu version.. how can i do this? [17:43] asdasd: if your card is supported it's not so hard [17:43] I'm not sure if it is [17:43] How do I configure it if it is supported? [17:44] zamba: I'm not sure that can be done [17:44] shawn_: ok? [17:44] zamba: the easiest thing to do is search getdeb or build it from source [17:44] shawn_: isn't that what's called backporting? [17:44] CrIp: how do you know that your video driver is faulty? === htrejh_afk is now known as htrejh [17:44] cos it was werking [17:44] now im getting sketchy lines on bootup [17:44] and vide playback is slow [17:44] zamba: I mean, its potentially possible but you'll have to find the actual deb file and make sure you can meet all the requirements === _NeoBlaster is now known as neoblaster === neoblaster is now known as NeoBlaster [17:44] saerg, [17:44] zamba: the easiest method would be to simply compile it from source [17:45] ikonia: thanks for your help. [17:45] saerg, ? [17:45] ill try re-booting with these updated drivers [17:45] if not i spose i can format [17:45] CrIp: xorg.log shows what driver is used [17:46] asdasd: iwconfig [17:46] list [17:46] asdasd: iwconfig from the terminal is how i set mine up initially [17:46] asdasd: ifconfig is easier [17:46] Is there a way to remove the nvidia drivers from command line [17:47] Minor723: just boot into xsafe-terminal or use the last successful login script [17:47] how do you uninstall xwindows? sudo apt-get autoremove something I imagine [17:48] I just found out what my wireless chip is [17:48] So, could someone please explain step by step how do I configure it? [17:48] sudo apt-get uninstall should be okay [17:48] Soyo: if you're not sure what the package is, do a sudo apt-cache search PACKAGENAME [17:48] shawn_ thanks! [17:49] asdasd: do a "lspci | grep -i wireless" [17:49] asdasd: and paste the output here [17:49] Alright [17:49] I installed samba, now I dont know how to find the other computers. where can I enter the Ip of the other pc? [17:49] I'll do that [17:49] No output actually [17:49] marie_blubb: ok [17:49] lspci | grep -i wireless [17:49] marie_blubb: places > computer === Mud|shower is now known as Mud [17:50] asdasd: hmm no output... is the wireless card you're using set up with a PCI or USB port? [17:50] marie_blubb: no try something else first. places > network [17:50] asdasd: you could also try the same thing with lsusb [17:50] It should be internal [17:50] I have a laptop [17:50] internal doesn't mean it's not using usb [17:50] Hmm [17:50] ALright [17:50] asdasd: I have a laptop and it shows up as lspci, it could still be using usb internally [17:50] so what do I type? [17:50] lsusb | grep -i wireless [17:50] marie_blubb: and then windows network, you can get on it? [17:51] No output again [17:51] =X [17:51] Does this mean I'm fucked? [17:51] hmm [17:51] !language | asdasd [17:51] asdasd: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [17:51] it just means its not recognized by the system bus [17:51] Oh, sorry [17:51] it might just not include the word "wireless" in the name [17:51] I'll keep that in mind [17:51] not looking good, but there may be hope [17:51] asdasd: saying screwed would have been better [17:51] do you know what kind of computer you have? [17:51] Sorrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy [17:52] shawn_: would it show up in dmesg? the wireless i mean [17:52] asdasd: personally I don't care that much, but the ops do [17:52] asdasd, Pastebing lspci [17:52] sequethin: potentially at the start of dmesg [17:52] sequethin: when initializing the system bus [17:52] I mean pastebin [17:52] shawn_: i would suggest it to asdasd but wasn't sure it would show up there === Mud is now known as Mud|stad [17:53] i had a card that needed some additional firmware once [17:53] nperry: http://pastebin.com/m72de7b8c [17:53] but even that showed up in lspci [17:53] sequethin: well dmesg typically tells it what driver to load, for instance mine outputs: [ 26.060155] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4318 WLAN found [17:53] [ 26.516632] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PLR, Firmware-ID: FW13 ] [17:54] shawn_: so it might show up and some unknown device in dmesg output [17:54] sequethin: possibly [17:54] hi hi hi!!! [17:54] aha! [17:54] where can I get "libltdl3"? [17:54] asdasd: you have a broadcom [17:54] I found that one out [17:54] asdasd: thanks for the pastebin btw [17:54] # [17:54] 04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) [17:55] asdasd: have you tried using the restricted hardware tool? that's what I used an it works fine [17:55] I'll try [17:55] sebsebseb yes, thanks, i found it, also something similar if I go into Konqueror or also in Samba itself. but where do I tell samba where to find the other PCs (they all linked with one router) [17:56] what is "libltdl3" and where I can get this one? [17:56] asdasd, Youve got # [17:56] 04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) [17:56] No proprietary drivers are in use on this system [17:56] You don't really tell Samba where to find things. The computers sort of announce themselves to each other on the network, far as I know, anyway. [17:56] marie_blubb: not sure, but in the location bar you can try like smb://internal ip address [17:56] asdasd: did you just recently install the system and is the system hooked up to a wired connection? === kalpik_ is now known as kalpik [17:56] I did just recently install the system [17:56] asdasd, Are you on the laptop at the min? [17:56] And the system _is_ hooked up to a wired connection [17:57] [17:57] One thing that affects smb access is the workgroup/domain name -- it should match the one in use on the Windows machines. [17:57] hello [17:57] And yeah, I'm on the laptop right now [17:57] hello [17:57] asdasd: sometimes it'll take a restart or two for everything to show up (which mine did with my ATI driver) [17:57] leminhvuong1512: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:57] asdasd: try doing a "sudo aptitude update" [17:57] exit [17:57] and then rechecking [17:57] leminhvuong1512: hi [17:57] leminhvuong1512: no don't exit, what do you want help with [17:57] anyone know how to fix choppy video? [17:58] asdasd, Got the near enough same card and there is ATA WIRELESSS in hardware drivers [17:58] Try sudo apt-get update [17:58] then look again [17:58] asdasd: from what I'm seeing, I'm betting you have an HP or dell computer [17:58] I have an Acer actually [17:58] goodevening to all [17:58] asdasd: ah, just a really similar setup to my HP [17:58] :) [17:58] Alright [17:58] asdasd: LOTS of the same hardward [17:59] and my Dell :P [17:59] hardware* [17:59] right now upgrading [17:59] i have a old pentium 3 533 Mhz width 32 mb di ram.. i can installa ubuntu ? [17:59] what about are you talking? [17:59] asdasd: so yeah do a sudo aptitude update, and the sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [17:59] it is a very old pc [17:59] How does it differ from sudo apt-get upgrade? [17:59] asdasd: it might tell you to restart, if it does, you should listen and then come back [17:59] or does it? [17:59] asdasd: apt-get is technically deprecated, but far more common [18:00] Will it do the job? [18:00] asdasd: aptitude has better system checking [18:00] asdasd: yeah, they have the same overall goal [18:00] awesome [18:00] 8min 30sec left [18:00] =/ [18:00] asdasd: aptitude also has a better CLI (if you just type sudo aptitude, there's a DOS like GUI) [18:00] asdasd: oh wow, you must have like literally just installed [18:00] I HAVE [18:01] I literally [18:01] installed it like 20 minutes ago [18:01] Hi all [18:01] !enter [18:01] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [18:01] asdasd: shoulda waited like 8 days, jaunty jackalope is coming out then [18:01] asdasd: jaunty has ext4 support and such [18:01] 8 days? more like 21, or not? [18:01] shawn_: ITYM Ubuntu 9.04 ;) [18:01] I'll just upgrade it when it comes out [18:02] <_VIM_> yep more like 21 days [18:02] i have a question! [18:02] asdasd: yeah, I typically do clean installs purely because its overall easier [18:02] rytmis: itym? === [perry] is now known as [pErry] [18:02] shawn_: I Think You Mean [18:02] I'm trying to build GnomeShell, but I have this message : "configure: error: Python headers not found". Any idea what package I need to install ? [18:02] mate1: ask the question, do not ask to ask the question... [18:02] rytmis: 9.04 is jaunty jackalope [18:02] if i have lets say ubuntu 8.0, does it upgrade automatically to 9.0?? [18:02] * sebsebseb will clean install and do Ext4 when 9.04 is out and the reviews are good enough for Ext4. in the mean time this beta on Ext3 [18:03] !upgrade | mate1 [18:03] mate1: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [18:03] mate1: you'll get a message saying "hey theres a new distro out" [18:03] matel: yes, upgrade tool will give you the option to do a distribution upgrade [18:03] mate1: no and for Ext4 the new file system, you would have to clean install. or do something for limited functionality in Ext3 [18:03] sebsebseb, [18:03] shawn_: I was trying to humorously refer to the fact that jaunty isn't the official name. :) [18:03] jardi: http://bloc.eurion.net/archives/2008/installing-gnome-shell-in-ubuntu-intrepid/ [18:03] Can someone explain how I could get X11 to work with both ATI and Nvidia cards? E.g. on one laptop I have an ATI and on another I have an Nvidia -- but X is of course always screwed.. [18:03] nperry: what?

[18:03] what is a good size for the swap partition. 250 Gb HD? [18:03] sebsebseb: you can load ext3 as ext4, you just lose a lot of the new features [18:03] thanks saerg [18:03] shawn_: I know [18:03] so it doesent upgrade? [18:03] rytmis: isn't it?

However it does work when the permissions are 777 or -rwxrwxrwx. What gives? I thought the x bit was to execution of a program..? [19:10] Does anyone know how I can render text that looks like this as a bitmap of some sort? (e.g. for use in games). http://tiyukquellmalz.org/login_s2.png I'm not as interested in *the font* being used, so much as the fact that the middle parts of the letters are _not_ a solid color... I don't think FreeType can even do that. Any idea how that might be done besides hand editing? [19:10] hi [19:10] I want to change the debuggingprocedures wiki [19:10] allquixotic: you can do that in gimp.. and maybe in inkscape.. save or export as png [19:11] scunizi, x bit for directories allows browsing [19:11] hey bit confused with this install, im not sure what to press....im at the prepare partitons screen [19:11] some chat in spanish, i don't speak english [19:11] <Jimi_Neutral> hey bit confused with this install, im not sure what to press....im at the prepare partitons screen <-- do you still want your old partitions? [19:11] scunizi: I tried rendering fonts of all sorts in GIMP, but it won't come out the same because the inner parts of the letters are always just solid colors [19:11] scunizi, x bit is for execution [19:11] Jimi_Neutral, and waht exactly you want to achieve [19:11] grrr i cant get it to boot no matter which numbers i put in (hdx,x) i wouldnt even have to try fi i could have gotten wine fixed [19:11] Lint: ok.. I'll go with that.. but at the original permission level it won't even let me write.. I don't understand that.

[19:12] Lint: Well i have the root home and swap partitions already set up, i just ant to install now...its dual boot cause im migrating from xp to linux for the firs time [19:13] Jeruvy: the directory was originally created by the windows guest and had ownership of none:none which is not a user on my system. so I chown'd it to myuser:myuser [19:13] zhurai: yes i want all th partitons as they are, i hav already set them all up [19:13] Question: I recently updated my ubuntu partition via the update manager, I am using grub as my boot manager.

[19:13] scunizi: your not using a ntfs filesystem are you? [19:14] I want windows users to be able to write to my samba shares, what do i need to do [19:14] Jeruvy: shouldn't make a difference.. the shared directory is on the ubuntu box with ext3 [19:14] Jeruvy: the guest is Win2kPro VM in Virtualbox and is NTFS [19:14] Hey, wonder if someone can help answer a question i have ? it is regarding the possibility of setting up a virtual enviroment in linux pointing to my windows particion ? [19:15] scunizi: shouldn't I agree with, but ACL's don't migrate very well and I've seen bizarre permission issues. But I think if its ext3 then you should be ok. Just thought I'd check if that might be a culprit, doesn't sound like it tho, sorry. [19:15] Ok, someone plz replace the dead link on the debugging wiki page, as I do not know howto. [19:15] At this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures; this link: Kernel Team bug policies should be replaced with: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies [19:15] The first link is dead. [19:15] bach: if you want to run your windows as a virtual machine you have to install a VM first then install windows into the VM.. otherwise if you're just looking to access the file structure of the windows side that should be an issue.. but it's not a virtual environment at that ponit [19:16] Going down for reboot now, cheers, Thomas. [19:16] Jeruvy: thanks.. [19:16] i click next but it says no root is defined but i did all the partitions earlier [19:16] what is the best kind of file compression format to use with working in a network of windows pcs? .zip, .tar.gz or gz. ...? [19:16] .zip generally [19:17] .zip or .rar [19:17] .zip [19:17] .rar is better compression [19:17] scunizi: thanks for the reply, i wanted to have access to use/run apps (mainly games) under my windows partition with out rebooting my PC to log back into Windows each time. [19:17] Jimi_Neutral: You can also try .7z [19:17] Question: I recently updated my ubuntu partition via the update manager, I am using grub as my boot manager.

[19:17] ok thx [19:17] :P [19:17] Jimi_Neutral: if you did the partitions earlier you may not have tagged the partitions for what they were intended. "/' = root ... /swap = swap.. /home = home [19:18] I want windows users to be able to write to my samba shares, what do i need to do [19:18] scunizi: well i labelled then and followed someones advice...hey by the way :) im not sure what to do now....im on a bit that has boxes next to the partitions saying format? and im a bit confuzze dlol [19:18] coreyman: give them write permission in /etc/samba/smb.conf [19:19] bach: that's not dooable. you can't run what's on that dual boot side from inside ubuntu or any linux for that matter. If the games are able to be installed and run from inside ubuntu you will most likely have to do that with Wine or Cedega.. check Winehq.org for compatability of the games with linux. [19:19] MrElendig that is my question more specifically, how do i give them permission let me show you the line i have written. [19:19] hi, how can I mount linux raid autodetect filesystem on ubuntu? [19:19] Jimi_Neutral: are you in the ubuntu installer doing the manual partitioning portion?

[19:20] can somebody please reset their ubuntu forum password and tell me if it works? http://ubuntuforums.org/login.php?do=lostpw [19:20] Coreyman use pastebin [19:20] coreyman: not that you also have to give the user write permission on the share itself [19:20] Do not flood the channel === praet^ is now known as praet [19:20] thx minimod trent [19:21] scunizi: Earlier on i insterted the live CD and ran gparted (is that what its called) anyway i di all the partitions but didnt have time to install so i have now come home turned it all on again to run from the live cd and just double clicked the install icon on the desktop...im now on step 4 of 7 and it iasking me to prepare partitions [19:21] Can anyone answer this? Question: I recently updated my ubuntu partition via the update manager, I am using grub as my boot manager. During the install I did not get any warnings about any changes to the boot manager, when I boot up and try to go into m windows vista partition (hd0,1) it gives the following message: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/142977/ How do I go about fixing this? [19:22] trent: try fixmbr and then reinstall grub to mbr [19:22] Jimi_Neutral: ok.. does it have the option of doing the partitions manually? [19:23] MrElendig get my private message?

[19:23] here is my samba conf [19:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/142989/ [19:23] it's counter-productive [19:23] everything looks right to me [19:23] scunizi: yes that was step 3...it says u want to use the whole disk (will wipe xp) or set up manually so i chose manually and now im on step 4 [19:24] coreyman: check the permission on the share itself [19:24] MrElendig good thinking [19:24] you probably want 766 on it [19:24] i get a "Saw signal 11. Server aborting." error in my Xorg.0.log when trying to start up x after installing the nvidia restricted drivers on my new install of ubuntu. does anyone know how to fix this? [19:24] scunizi: sorry make that step 4 and 5 respectivley [19:24] MrElendig: Do I just run fixmbr with terminal or are you talking about using windows vista recovery disk? [19:24] Jimi_Neutral: ok.. it's been a while.. how many partitons did you previously create for the install? [19:24] MrElendig I'll do 777 for the sake of testing [19:24] trent: windows cd [19:24] ok thanks [19:25] you will have to reinstall grub after you do it, since it will overwrite it [19:25] make sure you install grub to mbr [19:25] Hello, I am trying to make my usb -microphone work in Audacity, have been surfing forums for a while now, but no luck... [19:25] scunizi: i have one for xp which i shrunk and then with what was left i did three partitions / home and swap [19:25] and not to the vista partion [19:25] So, if someone could help Id be really thankful [19:25] MrElendig, when I run fixmbr via windows recovery console it will get rid of grub and automatically boot into windows? then from windows I will need to restore grub? [19:26] trent: after doing the fixmbr, try to boot windows once, if it boots, then boot the ubuntu install cd, chroot to your ubuntu install, and reinstall grub to mbr [19:26] ok thanks [19:27] how do i go with making my scanner work in Xsane [19:27] Jimi_Neutral: ok.. hang on I"m trying to google a page with pics of the install process .. if you know which partition is which (by size), the installer I'm use to makes you go through each partition one at a time. Pick the first tagg it to format and then tag it for the right "label" ie root swap home [19:28] so, I'm trying to get flash to have sound, but there isn't a freaking firefoxrc file anyone [19:28] anywhere* [19:28] anyone can help>? [19:28] hi [19:28] MrElendig: Any resources on chroot, i do not know how to do that [19:28] Jimi_Neutral: forget the h [19:29] trent: there probabl is a page on the ubuntu wiki [19:29] can i boot an ubuntu desktop cd into non-gui mode? [19:29] ok thanks [19:29] about reinstalling grub [19:29] Jimi_Neutral: forget the "Hang on " portion. I can't find a page.. did what I said make sense? [19:29] Jimi_Neutral: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=ubuntu+install&aq=f [19:29] i'm looking for a good dictionary from german to english - offline [19:29] any suggestions? === nicolas_ is now known as Guest5151 [19:29] I think Google can help you, pw-toxic. [19:30] pw-toxic: stardict? [19:30] Jimi_Neutral: AH HA! found one.. you're in the "Prepare partitions" page right? [19:30] pw-toxic: or ding [19:30] pw-toxic: no idea about how good ding is tho [19:30] scunizi: yes and it is not leting me go forward cause "no root is defined" [19:31] MrElendig: that's why im asking for ;) asking for some expierences with such programs ;) [19:31] Does ubuntu "uname" return "linux64" for 64-bit, or just "linux"? [19:31] scunizi: No root file system is defined. [19:31] Please correct this from the partitioning menu. [19:31] pw-toxic: pro tip: just try them(tm) and find out which you like the most [19:31] Jimi_Neutral: ok.. highlight the partitions that is suppose to be root and then in the bottom of the window click the "Edit Partition" button [19:32] flippo: it should return Linux [19:32] scunizi: done [19:32] Jimi_Neutral: in there you should be able to definie the "Mount point" [19:32] MrElendig, thanks. [19:32] Jimi_Neutral: the mount point should be / or root [19:32] Any other way to detect whether I'm looking at a 64-bit machine? [19:32] scunizi: ah yes i saw them earlier but i didnt know what it was so i didnt touch it, if it has said 'root' i would have chosen that lol [19:32] flippo: umane with no arguments == uname -s == kernel name [19:32] flippo: so when you are on GNU/Linux, that would be 'Linux' [19:33] Jimi_Neutral: do that for each partition and define what it should be [19:33] flippo: uname -m [19:33] moin [19:33] MrElendig, i686 doesn't sound much like 64-bit. [19:33] scunizi: mount point is greyed out until i choose 'Use As' [19:33] flippo: of if you want the hardware, /proc/cpuinfo [19:33] Jimi_Neutral: that's fine [19:33] flippo: uname -m is what the software is, not what the hardware is [19:33] MrElendig the permissions on the folder itself was the problem [19:34] Jimi_Neutral: "Use As" and then define it .. right? [19:34] MrElendig, yes, not seeing it there either. I must have a brand-new 32-bit machine. [19:34] scunizi: hehe what do i choose? under 'use as' there are loads of options...im gussing ext3 [19:34] Jimi_Neutral: yes.. that is the defacto standard at this point.. [19:34] should i go with 8.04, 8.10 or 9.04 for my Dell Vostro 1500 laptop? [19:34] flippo: pastebin the output of `cat /proc/cpuinfo` [19:34] MrElendig: i think stardict is not for offline use [19:34] i just need/want a developer workstation with LAMP [19:35] right now i'm using windows, and XDebug seems to crash apache *hardcore* [19:35] i'm hoping that maybe this won't be such a problem on *nix [19:35] scunizi: ok just to let you know Use As is a seperate choice to mount point...the mount point options are greyed out i have to choose a 'Use As' option first [19:35] pw-toxic: you can download the dictionart file to your machine and use it offline [19:35] abstrakt: 9.04 [19:35] !offtopic [19:35] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [19:35] Jimi_Neutral: gotcha.. I typically install with the alternate cd and it doesn't have a gui on install so I'm not use to the pretty pictures. [19:36] OMG I CANT WAIT FOR 9,04 ! [19:36] lakeoftea: so don't.. install now [19:36] lots of improvements in .29 [19:36] MrElendig, isn't 9.04 still "beta" or whatever? [19:36] but i dont want the beta lol [19:36] yes it is and im using it right now lol [19:36] Jimi_Neutral, laptop? [19:36] MrElendig, thanks http://paste.ubuntu.com/142998/ [19:36] scunizi: ok bud i see it now, dont go no where tho lol [19:36] Anyone here experienced with ATI x1900 raedon cards overheating in Intrepid? [19:36] lakeoftea: nothing that amazing with 9.04 except optional Ext4 suppourt [19:36] lakeoftea: just keep updating and by the release date it will be the release version [19:36] abstrakt: yeah laptop [19:37] i ppl [19:37] flippo: you can run x86_64 on that cpu [19:37] lakeoftea: well clean install for proper Ext4 suppourt [19:37] Jimi_Neutral, what specific make/model ? [19:37] i have some problems to install snort with mysql [19:37] Jimi_Neutral: I'll be here. Unless my son turns off my laptop again.. I'm remoting into it with my desktop and using IRC via ssh on irssi.. if that makes ANY sense to you at this point in your linux adventure. :) [19:37] and should i go with 64 bit? or is it still the case that the nvidia drivers and flash are only 32 bit? [19:37] can you helpe.. [19:38] MrElendig, dandy. Is that a matter of installing and selecting a different kernel for booting? [19:38] scunizi, makes perfect sense to me :P === Musfuut_ is now known as Musfuut [19:38] abstrakt: :) [19:38] scunizi, would make better sense if it was in a borderless transparent aterm :) [19:38] MrElendig, strangely, this is what Dell installed for me. [19:38] abstrakt: Flash is also 64bit [19:38] abstrakt: a cheap novatech one that has no model as such....it just says novatech on the top and its a m541n [19:38] flippo: that's just dell [19:38] abstrakt: well I have too much stuff going on , on my desktop and my eyes hate that type of thing.. older eyes.. :) [19:38] sebsebseb, so they've got 64 bit flash available for *nix ? [19:39] hi [19:39] when I updated the kernel in Ubuntu to 2.6.27-11 from -7, most icons were replaced with different icons and nautilus got a blue frame instead of the normal brown. a reboot fixed it. but what happened? [19:39] sebsebseb, and 64 bit nvidia drivers? [19:39] scunizi: lol show off [19:39] abstrakt: yeah and that's been ages [19:39] abstrakt: for Flash and I think nivida have drivers to [19:39] MrElendig, does this require a new install? [19:39] sebsebseb, remember that this is a laptop... [19:39] Jimi_Neutral: Naw!.. it's just fun stuff :) [19:39] snort not configure mysql . can help [19:39] flippo: only if you want to use 64bit [19:39] at least on windows, you have to get special Dell display drivers [19:39] abstrakt: try the 64bit Live CD? altough with 9.04 in a few weeks. it's a bit pointless putting 8.10 on now [19:39] you can't use the nVidia ones [19:40] is it deliberately impossible to boot an ubuntu cd without desktop? [19:40] MrElendig, thanks [19:40] scunizi: ok im stuck on swap....what do i use for tht or does tht not have a mount point? [19:40] Anyone here able to assist with an ATI card overheating in Intrepid? [19:40] abstrakt: plus for the optional file system Ext4, you would have to clean install for proper suppourt [19:40] sebsebseb, i'm just still very wary of moving to 64 bit... last time i tried there were just way too many problems [19:40] Jimi_Neutral: actually .. to clarify.. I'm remoting into my laptop with ssh and using screen with irssi.. swap is /swap and for file type you simply choose swap [19:40] abstrakt: works fine for most people [19:40] sebsebseb, i don't particularly care about Ext4... i mean... should i? [19:41] abstrakt: I run x86_64 on 7 different boxes, with no problems at all [19:41] abstrakt: well it will be much better than Ext3 [19:41] like... how much better? [19:41] performance improvements? [19:41] abstrakt: a lot [19:41] hmm [19:41] abstrakt: yep much faster, etc [19:41] so i should probably just wait 2 weeks and get 9.04 when it's officially released [19:41] sebsebseb whats a ppa [19:41] Anyone know if Att wireless broadband cards are easy to configure? [19:42] abstrakt: there was/is some dataloss issue with development versions of 9.04 though. so I am waiting for good reviews before I get rid of this set up, which is the beta on Ext3 [19:42] abstrakt: if you encode ogg, then you can expect 40-60% better performance on 64bit :p [19:42] ska_, i doubt honestly that *any* cell card is easy to configure on *nix [19:42] but i would like to know the same thing too... [19:42] abstrakt: waiting for final and good Ext4 reviews, before I clean install [19:42] scunizi: ok i chose 'swap area' as 'use as' but 'mount point' is gryed out...wont give me the option to use anything is tht right? [19:42] !ppa | lakeoftea [19:42] lakeoftea: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [19:42] the main critical app for me on windows is my Verizon wireless card [19:42] sebsebseb: disable writeahead, and ext4 becomes much safer when it comes to data loss from unclean shutdowns [19:42] Jimi_Neutral: swap doesn't get mounted anywhere, it just gets used, so that's nothing to worry about. [19:42] Jimi_Neutral: it already knows because of the file system type.. not to worry [19:42] nice [19:42] In firefox does anyone know how to make it remember it's last size and position when opening it again and if so can you point me to a tutorial [19:43] MrElendig: well well not sure what you mean quite, and I expect 9.04 final will have that kind of thing sorted out? [19:43] I asume it will use the default ext4 settings [19:43] sebsebseb: maybe by 9.04.1 [19:43] lakeoftea: Ubuntu only does security updates, if you want later programs, ppa [19:43] anyone here using gnome-xchat?

[19:44] how do i change my netmask on ubuntu server 8.1 ???????????????????????????????????????, [19:44] Jimi_Neutral: go ahead.. It's going to format [19:44] scunizi: hummmmmm I am hoping 9.04 can do a Ext4 that is all good, and then can be upgraded untill the computer dies, or Ext5 [19:44] something wronge with the gnome version? [19:44] kaigeos: irssi/weechat is even better [19:44] IS wifi different from wireless cell? [19:44] sebsebseb: it might.. I' [19:44] scunizi: I mean the Ubuntu partition that is installed on that partition [19:44] oh? i'll check them both out. [19:44] sebsebseb: I'll wait until 9.04.1 to upgrade. but I'll play with 9.04 in a vm [19:44] sebsebseb: you can change the ext4 options yourself, so it's a moot point [19:44] how do i change my netmask on ubuntu server 8.1 ??????????????????????????????????????? [19:45] I'm using Intrepid should both be available with apt-get? MrElendig? [19:45] Hmm. I am having issues with my ATI x1900 card overheating when I installed updated Ubuntu to Intrepid. If anyone has a second to assist me perhaps? [19:45] sebsebseb: http://www.h-online.com/open/Kernel-developers-squabble-over-Ext3-and-Ext4--/news/112937 [19:45] MrElendig: well when the time is right with Ext4 and 9.04 I will clean install, that's the plan [19:45] scunizi: do i want to import my user accounts from my xp install? [19:46] how do i change my netmask on ubuntu server 8.1 ??????????????????????????????????????? [19:46] Jimi_Neutral: ok.. if you want.. which accounts? email?

[19:48] is there a tool to convert encodings and Unix/MS-DOS returns? [19:49] sebsebseb: the article explains why some people are experinecing data loss on ext4, and what you can do to avoid it [19:49] Anybody here running 9.04? I dont know if i can wait any longer to try it, considering moving over now. Is it stable enough to not make you rip your hair out? [19:49] scunizi: ohh its just a migration of my docs folder...i thought it meant i could access it from my linux install...i dont use the my docs folder lol [19:49] Jimi_Neutral: whatever it migrates you can always delete.. :) [19:49] Veratyr9: no point doing it now, unless your going to clean install and do Ext4 [19:49] how can I scan something without root permissions?

[19:54] sebsebseb; i used rdesktop to reach Windows machines [19:54] scunizi: 60% [19:54] soweto: just use one of those sites that provide a java applet for vnc, to connect to Windows [19:54] sebsebseb; it works for me,, tell me this new application you know.. [19:55] I do not use the Xorg drivers as I enjoy use of 3d capibilities.

[20:00] sebsebseb, from the article link posted earlier i'll probably stay far away from ext4 for anything i want to keep safe. [20:01] serenity: heh yeah, well loads of people say it works well for them [20:01] pff [20:01] serenity: ,but I don't know. I think best to wait before getting rid of Ext3 to be replaced by Ext4 [20:01] hi folks, I have a nasty problem when I try to play AVI files: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7001455#post7001455 [20:01] sebsebseb, as long as the system it is used on doesn't crash, i'm sure it works fine.

[20:05] serenity: well use my name in offtopic if you want, because I am there as well [20:05] rhythmsou1, this channel. Just point it at the general channel, not to me personally. [20:05] gabriel: If its a recent install, you should just reinstall though. Upgrading won't be worth the effort/bandwidth.

[20:13] MrElendig, someone told me that a lot of 64 bits software simply doesnt work [20:13] MrElendig: drivers for hardware like printers, webcams, usb-wifi [20:14] but on boot I get a bunch of errors and only way I can get to desktop is to load into "low graphics" moe [20:14] i want to put windows in a window with vmware and so i ques i need the 4 gigs of ram [20:14] iceroot: 99.9% the same support on 64bit as 32bit [20:14] @Ienorand let me try that purge thing thanks ^_^ [20:14] piglit: only crappy apps, mostly [20:14] MrElendig: .... lol [20:14] piglit: 1GB is good for VM's 512MB probably ok, and I would recommend virtualbox [20:14] Does anyone know if there is correct drivers in ubuntu for the "Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) " [20:15] rhythmsou1: xf86-video-intel [20:15] How do i setup a wireless network on my Laptop running Ubuntu 8.04 (8.04 was the only CD i had) [20:15] MrElendig: just use synaptics?

Anyone know how to stop the gpu from overheading in intrepid? The fan is running at full speed.

[20:18] billenium -> well, just make sure you prefix with a nick, so it (your message) does not get lost [20:18] piglit: http://www.virtualbox.org and the binary for Linux hosts, for USB suppourt [20:18] piglit: the puel version does [20:18] piglit, the latest (non-opensource) version from their site does IIRC.

[20:21] everytime i play an avi file the whole PC locks up, no keyboard only mouse movement [20:21] bach: yes from the PPA [20:21] I'm having problems running third party apps. xbmc and google earth opens and then crashes immediatley [20:21] any help? [20:21] sebsebseb: PPA = ? [20:21] piglit: so there is not a 99,9% support for 64bit [20:21] bach: or wait for 9.04 and you get it by default [20:21] well i have got new hardware a E7400 and in the weekend i can put it together p5q mainboard and 9400 nvidia videocard [20:21] are you guys running vbox with the virtualization extensions? (AMD-V Intel VT-x) i'm running it without and i was just wondering how much better it can get with those virtualization extensions [20:21] adrian3, i have access to the internet only thru windows, i want to install VPNC on my ubuntu install, but i cant use apt-get [20:22] sebsebseb: when 9.04 due for release/ [20:22] bach: oh yeah the file systme stuff etc. nevermind about 9.04 for now then [20:22] ganymede, a lot [20:22] It is a desktop model. It is not the CPU. The CPU is running comfortable at 35 celsius. The GPU is an ATI x1800 model. [20:22] I just downloaded a wireless network driver from Intel for linux. it is a .tgz file. How do i install it? [20:22] ganymede, i'm running xp VM's at a boot time of 10 seconds with the extensions. [20:22] But the CPU is a Athlon 64 4000+ [20:22] bach: 8.10 uses Ext3, 9.04 has Ext3 as an option. and I don't want to go on about that again right now, I already did awhile ago [20:22] YOO :) [20:22] s3r3n1t7, and can you test how it boots without the extensions? [20:22] !ppa [20:22] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [20:23] spaceBARbarian: download via windows the .deb packages, put them on a USB stick, and use the packages with "dpkg -i" in ubuntu [20:23] ganymede, sure, gimme a second. Last time i did it was like 40 seconds. 2 secs while i'll test that [20:23] bach: https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa === bimberi_ is now known as bimberi [20:23] bimberi: yeah I was going to tell him to Google :d since I coudn't be bothered to get the link :d [20:23] bimberi: thanks for the link. [20:23] adrian3, where can i go to get the deb ? [20:23] np :) [20:23] anyone have any luck connection evolution to an exchange 2007 server with the exchange connector? [20:24] rhymthsou1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=ac985caac6543dcad4d36df25b7a3954&t=843012&highlight=avi [20:24] adrian, nvm i found it [20:24] http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/vpnc [20:24] * bimberi thinks ubottu needs a !ooo3 [20:24] adrian3, will this include all the dependent packages ? [20:24] ganymede, 30 seconds without extensions. [20:25] ganymede, if you want i'll test it with again to confirm that 10 second claim. [20:25] whats the proper way to share folder between ubuntu machines? When I go to sharing options it wants to install a windows service but there are no windows boxes... [20:25] spaceBARbarian: it's reccomended to get them also, because you may never know that packages are missing [20:26] !ooo > bimberi (bimberi, see the private message from ubottu) [20:26] s3r3n1t7, it's fine. i believe you. but it makes me wonder whether it is only a boot time difference or also a normal-use difference [20:26] bimberi: I am new to ubuntu (today) and so the packages etc is all still new [20:26] adrian3, each dependent has like 10 other dependents XD [20:26] s3r3n1t7, at any rate, the boot time difference is good enough for me to consider buying a newer processor [20:26] ganymede, yeh it does make that difference. Jst checked it again to be sure. Well my server also has a huge boost in speed with whatever it does. [20:26] baz -> look into sshfs [20:26] does anyone know what "UNCLAIMED" means in the lshw display section? [20:26] bach: ok this covers most, but not all of the basics http://www.ubuntuguide.org [20:26] spaceBARbarian: I think only the libgcrypt and resolvconf are needed ... [20:27] LjL: Fair enough ;) [20:27] baz, samba isn't a windows option. It can use the windows way of sharing, but it's not the same. [20:27] bimberi: i can make an alias if you insist [20:27] !ooo3 is ooo [20:27] I'll remember that, LjL [20:27] adrian3, meh maybe i should just wait and use apt-get on a wired connection :P [20:27] sebsebseb: thanks i have it stumbled lol, take some time to read though and get a grip on things. [20:27] if it says "unclaimed" does it mean i havent got the right drivers installed [20:27] Question: I am trying to work with the program wireshark, however I cannot begin capturing because it lists no interfaces, I know this is incorrect as I have always been able to access the internet via wifi, I am right now, yet wireshark does not recognize my wireless card, I am running a Thinkpad T61, any ideas? [20:27] rhythmsou1 -> post in pastebin your results of sudo lshw -C network [20:27] n8tuser, i want my girlfriend who will never use the command line to be able to share folders - by clicking, selecting share, etc. [20:27] bach: ok no problem [20:27] spaceBARbarian: that way also works ;) [20:28] LjL: No, that's fine imo. ooo3 will date. [20:28] trent: use "sudo wireshark" [20:28] s3r3n1t7, oh so its acceptable/effeicient to use it between linux boxes? [20:28] n8tuser: can i post my ubuntu forums link? === dvoid__ is now known as dvoid [20:28] My CPU is an Athlon 64 4000+ and the graphics card is an x1800 ATI Raedon. The CPU is not overheating as it remains at 25-30 Degrees Celsius. It is my GPU that is going upwards of 85+ Degrees Celsius. All the dusk is cleaned out and it did not do this until I went from hardy to Intrepid. Anyone have any ideas? [20:28] n8tuser: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7001455#post7001455 [20:28] rhythmsou1 -> im not going to wade through lots of text, a concise explanation would do [20:28] baz, it's acceptable and easy to use in my opinion. However, i'd recommend going for SSHFS. A bit more setup, much more secure, and much easier to integrate for a longer period of time. [20:29] rhythmsoul: Thanks, running as root has the devices [20:29] n8tuser: its right on the first post [20:29] i would like to know if its possible to set up you desktop to either shut down or go into hibernation mode after not being used for a set time === jack_ is now known as jackoloco [20:29] trent: yw [20:29] kilj_: u seem to have similar spec as my pc what up. === rhythmsou1 is now known as rhythmsoup [20:30] I have the 2915ABG wireless network card thing on my computer...

[20:30] i would like to know if its possible to set up you desktop to either shut down or go into hibernation mode after not being used for a set time [20:30] I think it is around the proprietary drivers. When i try to change the options in aticonfig it says it cannot go any further without it being initialized. [20:30] how can I list a users details from command prompt? (I want to do something like sudo userinfo) [20:31] rhythmsoup -> does it match what is shown on xdpyinfo ? [20:31] Crazylink: yes gshutdown [20:31] Do you have any ideas on how to lower the overheating of the GPU? [20:31] sebsebseb: what does that command do?

I want to install a bunch of extensions, but I don't want to install them all manually. I would prefer to install them from a config selection list or something and install that way. [22:26] yes, that [22:26] thanks ikonia [22:26] http://www.geany.org/ [22:26] more direct link [22:26] I dont understan what your saying [22:26] looks pretty good, puppy linux actually uses geany [22:26] `Borg`: what extensions === palmtree___ is now known as palmtree [22:26] `Borg`: php is an application/scripting lanaugage [22:26] <`Borg`> ming, iconv, mbstring, etc [22:27] `Borg`: they look like functions within php [22:27] <`Borg`> they are set through php yes, but the problem is the packages are not installed for the specific extensions needed [22:27] happens with many other applications that save files to disc. I think something with the FS (or nautilus?) is broken. [22:27] `Borg`: if you open the package manager and search for "php5" you'll see all the php5 packages, including things like the library set for use with apache/mysql/imap etc etc [22:27] right i belive [22:28] <`Borg`> I'm not using GUI> I'm working CLI only [22:28] `Borg`: then use apt-cache search [22:28] gnorris: you believe what ? [22:28] <`Borg`> I did. it only shows the php5-extensionnamehere [22:28] nothing never mind [22:28] `Borg`: yes, that's what you want, php5-extension [22:28] <`Borg`> there is no generic package that I can see. eg: php5-extensions [22:28] Good evening everybody! :) I have a Problem on ubuntu 8.10. Could you please help me? [22:29] <_ADiOS__> Cyclo I accidentally my apt. is it bad?

I was hoping there would be something like php5-extensions & I could do apt-get install php5-extensions [22:29] Cyclo: ask a question [22:29] `Borg`: no - you install the packages you want [22:29] <`Borg`> well dat sux... [22:30] `Borg`: no, thats sensible [22:30] hi guys [22:30] i need to complain about the update [22:30] Anyone know of any software that can assist with graphic cards overheating in Intrepid? [22:30] ok, I am generally a newbie on ubuntu and generally Linux. I installed 8.10 and typed some commands i dont even remember [22:30] darkfile1: what update ? [22:30] ikonia, i did whole disk encryption [22:30] Cyclo: ok - what is the problem though [22:30] <`Borg`> no it's not ikonia... there should be a parent portage that configures all packages to be installed by selection.. [22:30] now I cannot boot on Ubuntu login screen [22:30] I have UBUNTU 8.04 HARDY HERON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 === thiago__ is now known as thedoor [22:30] GOOOD [22:30] ii_py: ok - [22:30] <`Borg`> That in fact would be more practical ikonia. [22:30] When i boot, i have to type "startx" in order to get a GUI [22:30] and as /boot is unencrypted i put /boot and grub on a USB stick [22:31] `Borg`: no, installing what you want is the norm [22:31] `Borg`: if you don't like it, don't use it [22:31] now there was a kernel update (jaunty beta) [22:31] and it simply created a new /boot [22:31] is there a way to free up unused memory manually? like flushing the buffers? [22:31] instead to ask me to put in the USB dtick :( [22:31] darkfile1: you're complaining about an update in a beta product [22:31] darkfile1: join #ubuntu+1 for jaunty discussion [22:31] ok [22:32] Anyone know how to stop graphic cards from overheating in intrepid? It does not overheat on windows or when I had hardy. [22:32] any suggestions on how not to boot in Terminal? All i want is to boot in GUI and login there [22:32] It is an ATI x1800. [22:32] how about nvclock? [22:32] is there a way to free up unused memory manually? like flushing the buffers? [22:32] Cyclo: depends what you did to break it [22:32] so no, nvclock won't work. [22:32] nvclock is for Nvidia? [22:32] i tried to configure ssh server (i dont think that is the reason) [22:32] and the last thing i did... was a Shutdown command [22:33] Cyclo: very doubtful ssh is the problem [22:33] yes ikonia i believe ssh is not the problem (by the way... i have problem with ssh too:D) [22:33] does anyone use lastfm with rythmbox ? i cant get it to scrobble properly [22:33] Cyclo: so you must have done something else to break it [22:33] hi, i have a problem. my ubuntu interface does not appear on startup. various services work, like remote desktop server. i can also access files by opening a folder on my desktop, but when browsing it says they aren't owned by me and can't be shared, and often upon opening a folder on desktop the screen goes white and stops responding. how do i get my interface back and make my files owned by me again? [22:33] <`Borg`> ikonia, I'm not trashing it. I just don't agree with how it is done on Ubuntu I guess because it is more time consuming and really steps are involved that could be completely avoided all together by having a parent portage which allows you to select what php5-extension portages you want to install. that makes more sense than having your users apt-get/aptitude installing packages by the dozen copy pasting pkg names. [22:33] Seems like this is an unsolvable problem. After about 3 days of reading every issue in overheating does not seem to work hmm. [22:34] ikonia, maybe a "shutdown" command? [22:34] Cyclo: no [22:34] `Borg`: it doesn't use portage - so what you say makes no sense [22:34] cyclo: being a n00b myself, I keep a notebook where I write all my moves for future reference (my poor memory) [22:35] <`Borg`> ikonia, in fact it does. anything ported is portage regardless of what repository or port tree it is in. [22:35] hi everybody...i'm actually using linux mint, but can't seem to find much help on their irc channel, i was wondering if you guys might be willing to help [22:35] raddad, gonna do the same from now on. you see, beeing a noob is not enough=) you must break something to learn:D [22:35] i'm having trouble mounting an ntfs partition on my hard drive [22:35] lol [22:35] <_VIM_> raddad, lol same here although the sad thing is im not a noob :( [22:35] <_hyde> hi everybody [22:35] spaceBARbarian, you configured the plugin with your account info?

Also, you can try in #Ubuntu-server, but help is sloooow coming in there [22:56] mrwes: I feel confident in the hands of you [22:56] kanzie: has anyone answered your question about lvm? [22:56] raylu: nopes [22:56] kanzie, haha... [22:57] kanzie: logical volume management. isn't used by the ubuntu installer's partitioner [22:57] kanzie: install LAMP: "sudo tasksel install lamp-server", see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [22:57] sihg: anyone got an alternative to rhythmbox music player.. as when I add a huge folder with songs, it just greys out and now it doesn't work [22:57] anyone got an alternative to rhythmbox music player.. as when I add a huge folder with songs, it just greys out and now it doesn't work [22:57] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel or there [22:57] <_Whipper> micca: Amarok [22:57] ok nice [22:58] oCean_: yeah, but the installer provides the option to install the LAMP-package, which Im leaning towards [22:58] _Whipper, what I notice is that rhythmbox looks a bit like itunes? how about this amarok? [22:58] kanzie: your point? [22:58] <_Whipper> micca: its for KDE .. [22:58] _Whipper, ah crap.. im on gnome [22:58] kanzie: yeah... :) [22:58] oCean_: just asking if I should skip that option and manually install the packages or just go the easy route [22:58] thought I could crossover the apps though [22:58] <_Whipper> micca: nothing like it :) [22:58] I wish Amarok supported daap shares though [22:59] _Whipper, ok well... hmm.. in this case.. what can I do then to FIX the rhythmbox thing? [22:59] kanzie : its otherwise as simple as #aptitude install mysql php php-mysql [22:59] hey [22:59] <_Whipper> micca: you cant find a better player.. [22:59] and so I can't use amarok on gnome yes? [22:59] kanzie: your choice of course [22:59] micca, yes you can [22:59] can I read up on what the package suggested by the HH-installer does? [22:59] i just installed ubuntu on my mac and whenever i try starting up i just get a folder with a ? on it [22:59] how do i uninstall an app that i installed from source? [23:00] _Whipper, ok if there isn't a better player.. why does it crash on first use of attempting playing music sure its a 50 GB folder [23:00] ?? [23:00] hello [23:00] <_Whipper> micca: i ment Aarok [23:00] dayo: i guess you would hve to manually remove the binary [23:00] can someone helpme out [23:00] _Whipper, in other words.. what can I do [23:00] AH OK [23:00] how can i see what package contains the file 'Gnome.pm'? [23:00] dayo: and all the configs.... [23:01] <_Whipper> micca: i suppose it could have gnome ver. too.. look for it.. [23:01] 120 MB OMG @ amarok _Whipper : linux is turning into windows :P [23:01] Nope [23:01] <_Whipper> micca: wth.. [23:01] mrwes: since Im going to run this on a lan only, should I still provide a hostname? [23:01] Linux is LINUX, it's FAR from Microsoft [23:01] shantzu: "dpkg -S /path/to/file" [23:01] Localhost = computername ?? [23:01] micca, that's because you need the KDE libraries too [23:01] :/ [23:01] <_VIM_> micca, people demand windows-like features, so of course some linux distros are getting porky :) [23:02] kanzie, ahh..yes :) [23:02] Anyone here need help [23:02] me ;_; [23:02] oh i will private im you nonprophet [23:02] oCean_: i don't know what the path is, i need to install the library which contains that file (i need that file for a perl program) ... [23:02] _VIM_, absolutely.. I think its good... (I am one of them tbh.. I hated that every little app ion the past I wanted to run , liek a simple video player, took so much configuration!) [23:03] <_VIM_> well ram is cheap these days, so heh [23:03] kullu_: hmmm. well, i installed nmap-4.85BETA5 and when i checked the version ($ nmap -v) it still showed v4.53. so, i'm trying to uninstall 4.85B5, then uninstall 4.53 via apt, then reinstall the 4.85B5 from source again? [23:03] VIM: it's porky? it wouldn't be that big if he was already running KDE [23:03] gnorris: If you can explain localhost for me in a simple matter......instaling MySQL you see.... [23:03] mrwes.. OK .. I see.. so if I had of had the KDE libs , it would be how much? Plus, does this mean then from now on.. if i USE other KDE apps, i wont need to download ALL the libs anymore? [23:03] im with someone please wait [23:03] <_VIM_> mrwes, compared to distros of yesterday, yes "porky" :) [23:03] micca, depends on the app [23:03] sigh [23:03] ok [23:03] What's the advantage of using Gentoo now? Is there any? [23:03] Hello, can anyone tell me a way to speed up my browsing with Swiftfox? I've already disabled ipv6 and enabled pipelining but it still crawls relative to my Mac laptop on my wireless connection. [23:04] <_Whipper> _VIM_: ever tried some "real" linux distros ? :) [23:04] mrwes: and I need Bind installed too? [23:04] <_VIM_> yep [23:04] micca, it's your box :) [23:04] pieisgood4589: arch > gentoo [23:04] Ymse: what was your localhost question? [23:04] <_VIM_> _Whipper, i was kind of getting to that, but i didnt want to put Ubuntu down in anyway ;) [23:04] pieisgood4589: with gentoo you compile _everything_ which means that in theory things will run faster, there will be no unneeded kerenl modules ect [23:04] <_Whipper> _VIM_: can i ask what distros ? [23:04] oCean: Just if it's the same as the computername.... [23:04] whats the best formatting for the hd you install to for ubuntu??? [23:05] <_VIM_> _Whipper, Arch, Gentoo, RedHat === meoblast001 is now known as ublastu001 [23:05] mrwes.. well... to some extent.. eg. this rhythmbox seems to suit me with its layout HOWEVER it crashes lol when i try i first time. LEWL... then totem as well was working till I installed vlc , now thats BORKED too... so I have to get what was it.. amarak or osmething.. and POFF suddenly it requires 150 MB or so :/ [23:05] <_VIM_> I always come back to Ubuntu for one reason or another :) but we're way offtopic now [23:05] ' my box' is starting to resemble more windows style ;p [23:05] <_Whipper> _VIM_: ok, you convinced me, if you have used gentoo over a month :) [23:05] Ymse: "localhost" is the networkname given to the loopback interface. Even if you don't have networking, your computer can reach itself by using that interface, and that name [23:06] oCean: Ofcourse I only have one Linux computer in my network so I guess when I'm installing MySQL on that computer. The computername is the localhost in this setting??? [23:06] micca, I run Rhythmbox with 80GB of mp3's [23:06] mrwes: The guide is pointing to install ISPConsif [23:06] config [23:06] Ymse: if you have a public ip-address on an interface, it is most likely that you set your hostname (machinename) on that ip-address [23:06] <_VIM_> and _Whipper what makes you assume Ubuntu isn't a "real" distro? [23:06] what is this? I've never heard of it before [23:06] mrwes.. so what can the problem be sigh .. both totem now and rhythm box both grey out when i try and use media files (totem seemed to start doing that after i installed vlc.. prhaps vlc borked up the rhythm box dependencies too???) [23:07] whats the best format for my hd?? [23:07] Ymse: In mysql you use the 'localhost' often, when handling local databases [23:07] _Whipper, I have to agree with _VIM_ there [23:07] jpubuntunub: ext3. [23:07] jpubuntunub: you mean file system.. ext3 is the default [23:07] micca, where are the media files located? [23:07] alright sounds good thanks [23:07] oCean: I'm not the fastest tractor in the field but I guess that answeared my question..... ;) [23:07] In Jaunty, ext4 is faster [23:07] <_Whipper> _VIM_: i didnt say that. i ment real as in hmm.. not so "pretty & fancy" :) [23:07] mrwes, on a 500 GB external flash drive [23:08] Ymse: ok! If you need more info, just ask. No problem.. [23:08] micca, and you own that folder and have rights to it? [23:08] which is prerry full [23:08] anyone, what is ISPConfig and do I need on my local LAMP-server? [23:08] <_VIM_> _Whipper, ah well those "Hard" or "real" distros can be made just as pretty, if not prettier than Ubuntu even [23:08] well i could play movie files earlier [23:08] hi all, I setup a share folder between ubuntu 8.04 and my friends Vista pc. Vista can put items in the share folder, but they show up as locked/read only on Ubuntu. How can I make it so that ubuntu and edit and do whatever to the files placed in there by Vista??? [23:08] obne sec ill see [23:08] <_Whipper> _VIM_: i know [23:08] <_ADiOS__> i accidentally a partition. what should i do? [23:09] How can I make it so that ubuntu can read and edit and do whatever to the files placed there by Vista. [23:09] When I run Update Manager, one of the packages returns a "404 NOT FOUND" error. What does this mean and how can I fix it? [23:09] <_Whipper> _VIM_: thats a one thing i do :) [23:09] micca, and were you patient in adding a big music library, sometimes the first couple of times it takes awhile [23:09] should i just put / as my mount point? [23:09] mrwes: well i says root is owner.. [23:09] BTW, I hate Vista....from the little time spent using it on my friends pc. [23:09] Dante123, try opening up gksu nutilus in the terminal, you run nautilus as root so you can do anything [23:09] micca, what are the read/write perms? [23:09] <_Whipper> Dante123: so right :) [23:09] OllyG, that is not really a solution. That is a workaround. [23:10] mrwes.. I guess I wasn't.. (i tried running a file whilst it was loading.. but now it won't start when i restart it... and doesnt seem to keep loading them.. should I perfahps delete the .rhythmbox files in .config or .gconf or wherever they are?) [23:10] what should I put as my mount point? [23:10] hello! [23:10] <`Borg`> ok another question. where is php5-mbstring extension for PHP5? [23:10] i want to know how make XML work for me ;D [23:10] OllyG, btw the people using this are total newbies on Ubuntu and will mainly be two kids who use it. Mom will put stuff from her computer in there but they need to be able to open and edit easily all the time. [23:11] jpubuntunub: are you adding another disk? [23:11] mrwes: it justs ays root has 'create and delete ' files and allow execute somethign something .. can't see any rw flags apart from that [23:11] micca, /home/username/.gnome2/rhythmbox [23:11] dante123, sorry, it's the only way I know [23:11] oCean_:installing [23:11] ok ta, ill try it and let u know [23:11] micca, can you access any other files from that mount point? [23:11] jpubuntunub: new install, from scratch you mean? [23:12] oCean_: yea [23:12] OllyG it works, but there is another way I just cant remember it. I think it has to do with chmod stuff [23:12] Ok im back is there anyone that i can help today [23:12] jpubuntunub: ok, and why are you manually partitioning? [23:12] what's a good CLI mail client that can access multiple IMAP accounts ? [23:12] micca, or you can do a complete removal from the package manager and reinstall [23:12] mrwes.. yup... ran a film in vlc , worked fine [23:12] oCean_: dual booting with w and vista [23:12] dante, maybe chown 777 -r /folder/* [23:12] micca, since the rhythmbox faux? [23:13] mrwes: isnt deleting the .gconf2 thing also ok? ill give it a try and get back to u [23:13] oCean_: w7* [23:13] mrwes: yes just now when you asked me to [23:13] <_VIM_> gnorris, me having issues with evolution [23:13] yes [23:13] Hello there doesn't seem to be any Jackd version 1.92 in repos for hardy that would be jack2, where can I download jack2 with apt-get? [23:13] i will private im you [23:13] oCean: And what would myhost be then?? [23:13] <_VIM_> ok [23:13] or chmod 777 [23:13] jpubuntunub: ok. I understand the situation. And your current question is where to mount.... [23:14] Hello. I'm in serious trouble as I just locked myself out of my server. When configuring Iptables, instead of allowing incomming connections on a destination port of 22, i allowed a Source port of 22. Can I somehow connect to the server with source port 22? I really need help :) [23:14] OllyG something like that, but I need an expert who knows the exact syntax [23:14] oCean_: what should my mount point be? / or /home etc [23:14] mrwes: i removed the file and now it is reloading all.. will wait till it seems done.. then try again :) [23:14] micca, might be the /home/bill/.gnome2/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml file is corrupted [23:14] Dante123 because of security issues, would suggest try the forum for better advice [23:14] OllyG yeah ok [23:15] jpubuntunub: well, if you only use 1 partition, then the mountpoint is / indeed [23:15] mrwes : could be (I deleted that whole folder.. but luckily the link in applications still was there.. so I ran it and now seems to be back to the intitial set up stage.. will wait till scan is doen and let you know if it turned out properly) === Aegiron is now known as Aegir [23:15] oCean_: awesome thankyou [23:15] jpubuntunub: but you can use more partitions like /boot and /home, each on private partitions [23:15] Hey, anyone know what would I use to modify or make my own GTK2 themes? [23:15] Please someone can i specify a source port when connecting with ssh to my server? I don't know if that is the right solution if there's any solution. Anyone? [23:16] my ubuntu interface isn't showing anymore, and i can't access my shares, even though i can access my VNC server, help! [23:16] Baversjo: 22 [23:16] WOW: didn't realize I could just play all my music and it would run non stop for a month :P [23:16] Source port, not destination port === Aegir is now known as Aegiron [23:16] 21? [23:16] Ok scan done... here goes [23:16] jpubuntunub: as long as you're using just 1 partition, the /home and /boot will be in the / partition (but in this case just as regular directories) [23:16] jpubuntunub I recommend two parititions, / and /home. That way upgrading is easier [23:17] Baversjo: http://www.openssh.com/faq.html [23:17] MArk Knight : Susan (extended mix) [23:17] mrwes: SIGH.. no just doesn't work... same kind of thing like totem I guess... do you think when i did get vlc / get vlc-nox (dont know what this one was , dl it by mistake)... can I have borked some dependencies? [23:17] Baversjo: there is no specified source port [23:18] What repo holds Jackd version 1.92? [23:18] <_VIM_> !info jackd [23:18] jackd (source: jack-audio-connection-kit): JACK Audio Connection Kit (server and example clients). In component universe, is optional.

[23:19] a [23:19] 1391 people in here!! [23:19] thats what she said [23:19] does anyone know if there is an evolution IRC channel for that mail client? [23:20] Hey, anyone know what would I use to modify or make my own GTK2 themes? [23:20] mrwes: have no removed and reinstalled totem and rhythm.. I will see what happens.. but if it doesnt work ... big sigh.. linux still can be a bit borky :/ [23:21] micca, you can try songbird, or audacity or banchee [23:21] dl both banshee, audacity and now amarak but would be nice to be able to use out of box prog when it seems to be quite nice too.. and after all.. it comes with gnome for a reason I would guess :/ [23:21] mrwes (sorry forgot to add your nick) [23:22] <_ADiOS__> micca i accidentally your nickname. is it bad?

[23:26] then find an upload site and ftp it there.. or dyou mean you want the .pub file to be displayed on net? (.pub as in microsoft publisher?) [23:26] amarok is the best IMO, full support for visualizations is a huge pluss [23:26] <_Whipper> can we NOT talk about itunes? it drives me f***ng mad every time i hear or see that word.. [23:27] _Whipper: tone down the language. [23:27] i installed ubuntu to an external hard drive, and after reboot of install, "Grub" came on the screen and just hung there, so i rebooted, and now i get "no boot sector on usb device", but it will boot on my other computer [23:27] _Whipper: i hate ipod / apple too [23:27] <_ADiOS__> _Whipper crappysoftware is crappy [23:27] _Whipper, it asks me which DB to use.. sqlite or mysql eg. I intent to set up mysql later when I have time , in a few weeks... should i choose mydql (even if i dont have it installed or stick to sqlite?) [23:27] In my iptables configuration i have allowed connections to source port 22, is there any way i can access my server?

Downloaded 9.04 beta this evening, and by gods it's the first ever ubuntu I've tried that doesn't make me feel like a gimp [23:30] DigitalKiwi: the fact that it works differently from the one you have in your channel doesn't mean it's not "smart". now, thanks for the ops call, but back on topic [23:30] gnorris: since you are so eager to help could you rewrite ubottu to not need | ?

[23:31] Baversjo: i hope you have direct access -- boot into init 1 and change password [23:31] mak3shift: no need, the xul remote is lighter on resources [23:31] mak3shift: especially with bandwidth [23:31] When i configured iptables i specified SOURCE port 22, not destination port. So now i can't access is. And The server is in france and Im in Sweden. [23:32] hi [23:32] well, its over my LAN, and i use it from several different windows machines [23:32] Anyway to bypass that? :) [23:32] Baversjo: not really [23:32] how can i install kde4.2 with all of its packages, and will it slow down my machine to do so? [23:32] mak3shift: try it, you wont be disappointed. it unfortunately requires firefox to use the client plugin [23:32] do you have any friends in france? :) [23:33] ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE] Having trubles getting this too work with Tv out...

I've already checked /var/log/auth.log and /home/user/.Xsession-errors and nothing. [23:41] BTW, I'm testing using Xming at the moment. It doesn't hang at all when logging in from the console. [23:41] _Whipper, well ok.. here goes: amarok : devise is busy.. xine (empty nothign follows) audio device.. hmm but sound works if i start a video in vlc [23:41] when I install nvidia restricted drivers I get a command line at boot [23:41] dforouhari: whats RoR?

[23:43] I need help trouble shooting gnome-session startup. Anyone, Bueller? [23:43] but i think there's a new one [23:43] micca: well it was a must for me as it is this particular systems main function. to run amarok + xul remote [23:43] does neone know about Jokosher ????.? [23:43] radeon 9200 tv out tv setup any help keeps loading vesa [23:43] Ok conficker infected my ubuntu 8.10 how do I get rid of it?> [23:43] ok ActionParsnip .. sigh.. so as in the 90s I still have to ' hack' linux for ages just to get something 'simple' working ya ^^ [23:43] My questions is this: I am running Ub 8.10 and used Synaptic Pkg Mgr to install all the relevant pkgs. It claimed that all the pkgs were installed successfully. Question: none of the installed RoR sw show up under 'Applications' meun. Any idea why? [23:44] conficker?? LOLOL [23:44] micca: i'd join #amarok for better advise [23:44] yea [23:44] <_Whipper> micca: do something that foolish, as installing the whole syst. again just becose of an player :) [23:44] ok ActionParsnip thank you very much [23:44] _Whipper, ye wasn' planning to [23:44] how the heck do I get rid of conficker? [23:44] micca: its linux, no garuntees, no SLA [23:45] So I'm having a problem. Torrents wont work on my computer. I'm running on ubuntu 8.10, using transmission (although I've tried all of the other torrents in the add/remove section) and can't download torrents. It says something about 'files can't be found' right when I open transmission! Anyways, I'm dual booted to xp as well, and torrents work just fine on there. Any suggestions? [23:45] when I install nvidia restricted drivers I get a command line at boot [23:46] so anyone know how to install the latest amarok? [23:46] caleb_: can you get the exact error please [23:46] Yes, one second [23:46] dont it sucks use the first [23:46] Flaret: sudo apt-get install amarok [23:46] but is it latest? [23:47] haha [23:47] !latest | Flaret [23:47] Flaret: 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. [23:47] halp! I just installed the "mutt" package, what is this exim4daemon that started ? is it a security risk ? [23:47] Linux7657: tone down your language, please [23:47] ActionParsnip: it says - Data not fully available in transmission next to the 'none of 64.8 mb' [23:47] Flaret: you could use neon [23:48] caleb_: I use rtorrent and it works great [23:48] edthefox: I've tried every torrenting client readily available, they all have this error [23:48] anyone need help [23:48] gnorris: me [23:48] ok [23:49] caleb_: looks like a bug in 1.3 http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&p=26842 [23:49] Could someone help with sfdisk? It appears to "truncate" the end of the drive: I can make a partition layout with fdisk and it works, but trying to clone it with sfdisk... well, http://pastebin.com/m3f9e23b6 [23:49] please explain that the "exim4-daemon-light" thing is that just started on my server.I installed mutt [23:49] I installed Ubuntu, and it just gave me a terminal after the installation. I ran sudo apt-get gnome, and it installed all right. After that, upon reboot after I see "starting gnome display manager" the screen goes black. [23:49] How do I fix this? [23:49] hi all. My keycode/keysym mapping has changed in the intrepid->jaunty upgrade. Now 111 and 116 are Up/Down. On my debian box, Up/Down are 104 and 98. Synergy transmits them as 104 and 98 as well (which has worked Just Fine before jaunty), so this means except the alphanumeric keys, I can't use my desktop's keyboard on my laptop (through synergy), which makes me a Sad Panda :( [23:49] how to fix? [23:49] ISTR this happening in the hairy->intrepid upgrade as well, and having to do with evdev and hal and all sorts of things that are Really Great(tm) and Incompatible(tm) and Breaks Your Current Setup(tm) [23:49] ActionParsnip: thank you, but the problem was in all clients, is that just a coincidence? [23:50] ;) [23:50] caleb_: not sure [23:50] ActionParsnip: Guess I should try another client. What do you use? [23:51] DMCA: apt-cache search gnome, try gdm gnome-desktop blah blah [23:51] jonaskoelker: since jaunty is still beta, all issues/discussions go in #ubuntu+1 channel [23:51] caleb_: ktorrent but i use kde [23:51] .bye [23:51] ActionParsnip: Ah. Would bittorrent be a better choice? [23:51] DMCA: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [23:51] gnorris? [23:51] oCean_: cool. Well, actually I just upgraded from H to I. How to fix? :p [23:51] caleb_: try rtorrent it's cli, very simple and very dependable [23:51] Trying again: Any idea why after installing RoR pkgs (using Synaptic) on Ub 8.10, the name of newlysinstalled software (mysql, apacahe2, ...) do NOT show up undre Applications?

[23:52] jonaskoelker: Point taken. *Is* it fixed in H-I upgrade? Or was it never? [23:53] bit of an odd question to ask here but does anyone here know c++ and could help me with a small problem? [23:53] what's the problem? [23:53] oCean_: I think I worked around the "upgrade" by doing things The Old Way(tm), but I forgot how [23:54] My internet crashed [23:54] I installed Ubuntu, and it just gave me a terminal after the installation. I ran sudo apt-get gnome, and it installed all right. After that, upon reboot after I see "starting gnome display manager" the screen goes black. [23:54] What where you guys saying about how to fix it? [23:54] ouch [23:54] what is the default root pas? [23:54] oCean_: not being 100% sure what you're asking, the answer is yes: you can have a fully functional intrepid system and have the old key{sym,code} maps [23:54] !root > jpubuntunub (jpubuntunub, see the private message from ubottu) [23:55] I [23:55] jonaskoelker: No, no.. I think you understood me. I meant that if you worked your way in H-I upgrade, maybe you knew the fix/workaround and try in I-J upgrade [23:56] Everytime I install the restricted nvidia drivers I boot to a command line [23:56] jonaskoelker: however, you might have a better shot in #ubuntu+1. === bruenig_ is now known as ghost === ghost is now known as Guest66276 === Guest66276 is now known as bruenig [23:57] jonaskoelker: only suggesting because some people there have recent upgrade experience.
