[00:01] but i need my files first [00:01] does anyone want to help me test the stuff with my pgp key? [00:01] ActionParsnip: I guess it's a good thing I didn't uninstall.

[00:01] cypher1: firefox is a memory hog imho [00:01] gaby: Ok, you can try the forced mount, but when it still gives the "..in use" or "..not cleanly shutdown" message, you have to go through windows anyway, or install ntfs progs [00:02] thanks a lot, im going to try this, hold on [00:02] ActionParsnip, ok.. what is the better alternative then ?

[00:17] ActionParsnip, Im trying this instructions http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-535808.html because the problem is similar [00:17] Iceman_B^Ltop: http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/395107/2005-04-03/2005-04-09/0 [00:18] I dont know the answer to that question sorry. [00:18] ActionParsnip, Iceman_B^Ltop: « man sudoers » says 15 minutes is default, though I suppose it could have been compiled differently. 15 minutes sounds right from experience though [00:18] its alrighty [00:18] jrib: i was just going by that site [00:18] doesn't it also matter if you use seperate terminals? [00:18] gaby: looks good, you need to use ntfs-3g for write access [00:19] yes. [00:20] ActionParsnip: I am talking to gaby, and It seems to me that the issue is that she cannot access her NTFS partition and she is getting a "not clean shutdown in windows" message even thought that is not the case. [00:20] What is the terminal command for unmounting? [00:20] SrEstroncio: you'll need to use -o uid=1000,force [00:20] ActionParsnip, Iceman_B^Ltop if you use two different terminals, and you sudo in both, both will ask for a password [00:20] ActionParsnip / jrib: thanks [00:20] zagabar : umount [00:20] Could you post the whole command?

[00:22] I have a game that I run with wine. It needs a CD to be started. How can I mount the ISO so that it recognize it as a CD? [00:22] SrEstroncio: you usually cant force an NTFS partition, if its unclean you'll have to chkdsk it and try again [00:22] SrEstroncio: sudo mount /dev/ /mount/point -t ntfs-3g -o uid=1000,force [00:22] sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o force /dev/sdx0 /media/mountpoint [00:22] forcing it is dangerous still === tiagofalcao[AWAY is now known as tiagofalcao [00:22] zagabar: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/cdrom0 [00:23] o loop?

The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).

You can get a .deb package from adobe's website. [00:39] CyberSurfer, backup your usb stick, then install with unetbootin, you'll get the idea... [00:40] oCean_, alright. [00:40] space_cadet, ahhh, what I meant is instead of burn the ISO to a cd, burn it to a USB stick [00:40] nado, what software? [00:40] jonathan__, alright. [00:40] enigma, it's a player they provide that you need to install before you can view their videos [00:40] enigma: or install restricted-extras [00:40] enigma: it is in the repos, so no need to download deb from any site [00:40] ikonia: am i unbanned or is this a server error? [00:40] enigma, and they only have it for windows and mac [00:40] i dled a .deb and am about to install it, but it says i am advised to dl it from the channel, what does that mean [00:41] nado, what is the name of the player? [00:41] CyberSurfer well... this use is possible for that, but you will have a different menu at the start [00:41] enigma, although flash is necessary, in the case of ABC it is not enough :( [00:41] space_cadet, I see, how different? [00:41] nado: yes it is, I can see abc shows [00:41] jimi_hendrix: all you need to do is: sudo apt-get install pan [00:41] ABC?

[00:41] jimi_hendrix: that means the same program is also in a repository, install it trough the jannel, updating will be easier [00:41] jimi_hendrix: no need to download the .deb seperately [00:41] wtf is an MiB (data size) ? [00:41] I want to update my Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 [00:41] CyberSurfer, instead of the ubuntu screen with 4-5 options, you get a grub [00:41] megabyte [00:41] space_cadet, ah [00:42] or maybe bit [00:42] landanimal: wikipedia knows [00:42] not a man in black?

[00:46] could someone please offer some direction to replacing vlc 0.9 with vlc 0.8 on intrepid? This isn't b/c of some silly interface issue but rather a very bad memory leak in the streaming wizard that was introduced in 0.9, we need to be able to run our stream with 0.8.6 until vlc can fix this. [00:46] oCean_, try a proxy service [00:46] oCean_, so where do you watch the shows if not on ABC ? [00:46] space_cadet, hehe sorry for being a noob but, "Copy the installer kernel and the initramdisk into this folder (Download source below.You need the files ?vmlinux? and ?initrd.gz?)." what does he mean with kernel?

Also make sure, the flashplugin-nonfree is set as default. [00:47] How can I remove a program from wine? I tried the default uninstaller for the game, but it did nothing. Then I removed the files in program files manually, but it still thinks the program is installed. [00:47] go to wine config [00:47] hello [00:47] it is in the wine section in applications [00:47] oCean_, set as default? Is that a setting in Firefox? [00:48] and i htink there is also an add or remove application [00:48] enigma: Use the 'alternatives' method: "sudo update-alternatives --config firefox-flashplugin" [00:48] CyberSurfer, scroll down, you will see images of the files that need to be on the usb [00:48] ah okay [00:48] oCean_, enigma : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=67916 that's it. No other solution [00:48] that's not what I mean space_cadet [00:49] the "installer kernel" is what he's referring to... [00:49] should I just cpy ?vmlinux? and ?initrd.gz?to install? [00:49] enigma: you will get a list of available plugins. And you can set the default there. Mine is set to the flashplugin-nonfree [00:49] or I need to do something else with it [00:49] oCean_, alright. It's default. But it was already default. Do you know why online videos are so freaking choppy in fullscreen mode? [00:49] j/ #xubuntu [00:49] PLease can somebody give me and idea how to set up my skype audio [00:49] Nephilus: What to do in the config? [00:49] I tried the wine unintall utility. It didn't work. [00:50] nado, that link you gave doesn't work. [00:50] stallon; try going to system > synaptic package manager and download/install from there [00:50] From the installation iso image you downloaded, copy the folder “isolinux” to the root directory of your USB device (right-click on the .iso file, choose “extract here”). Rename “isolinux” into “syslinux”. Go inside the directroy “syslinux”. There, rename the file “isolinux.cfg” into “syslinux.cfg”. [00:50] enigma: sorry, no. Mine seem pretty ok [00:50] CyberSurfer, ^^ [00:50] enigma : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=679165 [00:50] sorry missed the last 5 [00:50] space_cadet, okay... [00:50] Nephilus: That application does not exist in the list [00:50] space_cadet, thanks [00:51] oCean_, I've had that problem on every single Ubuntu box I've run. Online video runs way better in reduced mode. Sometimes even the case with Totem. But in fullscreen, it becomes unbearably choppy. [00:51] space_cadet, but that's not what I meant, I'm talking about step 1 [00:51] Why is all of my audio at such a low volume, even when turned up all the way?

[00:57] missing something...this is the code to get pentoo to accept some saves What you can do is creating a bigger root ext2 fs : [00:57] Code: [00:57] dd if =/dev/zero of=root2.img bs=1M count=50 [00:57] [i]this will create a 50 Mb file[/i] [00:57] mke2fs -q -F -m 0 root2.img [00:57] hmsims: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I tried the default uninstaller for the game, but it did nothing. Then I removed the files in program files manually, but it still thinks the program is installed. [01:01] CyberSurfer, yep. [01:01] dn4: what command are you using? cp or mv? [01:01] ok, I have a 8.04LTS installed with LAMP-package, anyone know a good ftpserver? [01:01] space_cadet, thank you man [01:02] I'm gonna do that right now, see you. [01:02] k [01:02] l'm still trying to figure out my laptop's fan problem .. I've installed sensors and it has detected the fan, now I'm trying to run pwmconfig but I get this msg :pat@pat-laptop:~$ sudo pwmconfig [01:02] File /var/run/fancontrol.pid exists. This typically means that the [01:02] fancontrol deamon is running. You should stop it before running pwmconfig. [01:02] If you are certain that fancontrol is not running, then you can delete [01:02] /var/run/fancontrol.pid manually. [01:02] patrlck: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:02] kanzie, give vsftpd a try.

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [01:03] wait I mean just tab [01:03] jtaji: you reckon that is easier to set up for me than going with proftpd [01:03] is it safe if I kill fancontrol.pid while I generate the configuration file? [01:03] so what I did was move all the files to .wine [01:03] then moved them to Maps/Downloads [01:03] dn4: tabbing only works when theres one directory in a folder or when you've already typed part of something [01:04] kanzie: not sure about that.. do you really need an ftp server? because ultimately ssh/scp/sftp is easier if only users with system accounts need to upload [01:04] dn4, hit tab twice? [01:04] kanzie: s/upload/access/ [01:04] ubuntu rocks! [01:04] lol [01:05] yap [01:05] bestbot is missing from #ubuntu-bots [01:05] I figured it out [01:06] jtaji: nah, sftp would be perfect...does that not require any additional software to be installed?

[01:10] dn4: they're escape characters [01:10] dn4: if you wanted to rename "a" to "a b", you would either have to do [01:10] dn4: mv a "ab" [01:10] dn4: sorry, mv a "a b" [01:10] dn4: or: mv a a\ b [01:11] ahh thank you [01:11] dn4: in other words \ is used to escape the normal meaning of a space [01:11] dn4: what you were trying to do was cd into .../Program and passing in some random extra "Files" thing which it ignored === vhdirk is now known as Aegiron [01:12] Thank\You!

[01:49] lakeoftea: try running applications/disk usage analyser [01:49] lakeoftea: or "sudo apt-get gparted" / "gparted" [01:49] lakeoftea: use the diskspace explorer [01:50] lakeoftea: type df -h in a terminal [01:50] diskspace explorer? [01:50] k [01:50] alexmhso: since its itunes its already nicely organized so it should be just a matter of connecting it to your pc [01:50] what steps do I need to take to have my server allow https? [01:50] do whaat jasballz said lakeoftea [01:50] I mixed up the names [01:51] i have gparted, it just tells me what % is used [01:51] i wanna know where it's at [01:51] jasballz: well for one, i havent mounted the harddrive, so i just have it sitting on my desktop in gnome. banshee isnt letting me drag/drop into it's library, and they're consolidation file organization is different to some extent. [01:51] lakeoftea use the /disk usage analyser [01:51] when i search w gnome-search-tool for files over 100mg it dont pull nothing up! [01:51] alexmhso: you may have a problem of permissions when you try to access them if its hfs / mac [01:51] lakeoftea use the disk usage analyser... [01:52] how do i do that? [01:52] jasballs: ntfs doesnt have permissions right? [01:52] applications - accesories (or something simmilar) - disk usage analyser [01:52] there it is [01:53] jasballz: ntfs doesnt have permissions right? [01:53] word up this program looks pretty cool lol ;) [01:53] alexmhso: sure it does. [01:53] okay well is it worth mounting a dedicated folder within my external drive to /home/username/music? [01:53] can i even mount a folder to another folder? [01:54] I have 8.10 installed.. I need to run xp pro.. er.. install it so my boys can play a few games.. should I a) install it natively with dual boot and if so, how, when linux is the first OS on the drive, or b) install virtual box and then load XP into it? [01:54] lakeoftea found the evil? [01:54] for games, boot. VB is not so hot for gaming [01:55] lakeoftea: how bout something like "ls -R /your/dir | du | sort -nr | less" [01:55] no it didn't i'm in even more confused [01:55] bonez46: ask ubottu about !dualboot and !wubi, take your pick :) [01:55] the program worked very nice [01:55] jeruvy: well should i mount the drive with permissions or can i use it sort of like an external drive in windows? [01:55] !wubi [01:55] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [01:55] but it doesn't add up to approx 70ish missing gigs [01:55] lakeoftea no big chunk anywhere? [01:56] Hey everyone! [01:56] alexmhso: I would mount it as a cifs or nfs drive. You can also use ntfs3g [01:56] lakeoftea what does the small text under the toolbar say how much space is used? [01:56] Using ext3? then a it will format with some missing..... [01:56] it says my / is 7.4 gig [01:56] Jeruvy: but.. see.. I only have UBUNTU on my hard drive.. not I have windows and want to install unbuntu.. [01:56] yeah i was told to use fstab [01:56] jeruvy: yeah i was told to use fstab by a friend. [01:56] and my home is 4 gig [01:56] fstab will mount things for you automaticaly at boot. [01:57] alexmhso: thats a good way to do it automagically, but your choices remain [01:57] maybe i'll just wait til 9.04 stable comes out and reformat lol [01:57] lakeoftea maybe you did what I did: deleting files as root and not emptying the trash? [01:57] i dont want to do it auto so i was going to use noauto, but so that it would end up at the same folder all the time. [01:57] I have a quick question: Since recently reinstalling Ubuntu 8.04 after some time not using it, I've spent the last couple of days customizing it to my liking. If I ever needed to reinstall Ubuntu, would there be a way to save all of the packages, commands, and settings into an executable/archive that would make my system fully customized right out the door? [01:57] bonez46: well then don't even bother..I'm kinda confused what you need help with? [01:58] how do i empty trash as root [01:58] hhp2k: you could keep a copy of all the config files in your home directory as a start [01:58] jeruvy: can i just add noauto to the command and mount it to the same folder everytime? [01:58] jonathan__: I've got that down, yes. [01:58] sudo take out the trash plz [01:58] Jeruvy: I have only ubuntu installed.. my boys want to play SOME windows based pc games.. so I want to figure out whether to natively install xp pro. and if so HOW.. or whether to set up virtual box and install xp in there? [01:59] hhp2k: your /home folder should have most of the important stuff, but you should verify with any packages you were using for any specific locations of any possibly important files. [01:59] i know how to empty it from .local in my home dir [01:59] lakeoftea if you dont know how to empty the trash as sudo you probably did not fill it with sudo or gk sudo either [01:59] hhp2k: have a list of the packages you just installed, and write a script that installs them and restores your config files [01:59] bonez46: ah, sorry I missed that. Depending on 'what' games, wine may be a better idea than virtualboxing or dualbooting [02:00] oh, these are games that I have already looked up in wine... [02:00] they require win xp.. [02:00] bonez46: then you don't have a question. You have a direction :) [02:00] is there any way to get an ideazon MERC ZBoard and a 7 button logitech mouse working like they do in windows? [02:00] jonathan__: Good enough. :) Thanks! [02:00] i's like disk anayiser helped me find approx 13 gigs but wheres the like other 55 gigs i cant find lol [02:00] bonez46: virtual boxing is not ready for gametime in most cases [02:01] lakeoftea: you could type "gksudo nautilus" in the terminal and search for the trash bin and empty it (but dont delete anything, in this window you can do much harm) [02:01] ok, then.. how would I proceed installiing xp pro.. to the hard drive then? it wants to see the MBR as all its own.. how can I install it? [02:01] true what would it be called? trash? [02:01] yes [02:02] bonez46: either: dualboot. That means installing xp first, then ubuntu, or use wubi, which is install xp, then install wubi. [02:02] couldnt i do a gnome-search-tool for it too? [02:03] lakeoftea: maybe the 55GB are many smaller files, what would you search for? [02:03] dunno [02:03] is there some sort of strange temp directory like in windows? [02:03] Tophu: mine is seen as a keyboard, and actually works. [02:03] lakeoftea: trash is sometimes stored in .Trash. You can use Ctrl-H in nautilus to see files starting with . [02:04] Tophu: but I've only alpha tested it with jaunty. So I don't know if it's properly supported at this time. [02:04] i am trying to run a miredo server but i always get "Error (87.98.244.xx): Cannot assign requested address." :-/ [02:04] I wont' rip ubuntu out and reinstall just to put xp pro on here.. I guess I won't install it then.. [02:04] lakeoftea: guess I cant help you any further and I need to sleep [02:05] bonez46: backup /home, trash the rest and go. Unless your running server apps you should be ok [02:05] hi [02:05] lakeoftea: good night and luck [02:05] lol k thx [02:05] there are some one? [02:05] how can i change the ¨permission¨ on a hard disk? i get this http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/5710/screenshottrashfilebrow.png [02:05] thebest no, 1333 = 0 [02:05] @Jeruvy: my keyboard works fine but the special gaming area on the left with the QWEASD area doesn't want to work [02:06] what file would I edit to change these keymaps (or add them) [02:06] Tophu: which version of ubuntu are you using? [02:06] 8.10 [02:06] gaby, open a terminal and type sudo chown youruser:youruser -R /path/to/folder [02:06] Ubuntu 8.10: Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE uses nvidia-glx-177, but i cant get it to work anyone?

[02:08] Ubuntu 8.10: Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE uses nvidia-glx-177, but i cant get it to work anyone? === trucMuche is now known as Guest34236 [02:09] Tophu: I'm not sure I'm still working on keymap changes. [02:10] Ubuntu 8.10: Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE uses nvidia-glx-177, but i cant get it to work anyone? [02:10] lol Qbabbla was right it was in my root trash haha a sudo find / -type f -size +10000k figured it out [02:10] all hail ubuntu!

[02:12] I just got warhammer online working in wine and I'm itching to play ^_^ [02:12] =\ too bad WAR gets boring quickly.. [02:13] could anyone tell me which part of linux tells the fan which speed to run? [02:13] not as a choppa ^_^ ofcourse I'm not quite 40 yet [02:13] hello bauruine? this tells me that ive been made owner and its read only now but i cant see at the files in the hard drive, much less write into it [02:13] Ubuntu 8.10: Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE uses nvidia-glx-177, but i cant get it to work anyone? [02:13] what's the best way to install vlc 0.9.8 on ubuntu 8.10? [02:14] @cory8092 if you go to www.nvidia.com you can download and compile the latest drivers [02:14] patrlck: I don't know, but there some interesting stuff about it in /proc/acpi [02:15] Tophu: hmm sorry I have killed my alpha test. Thought I had it still. :( [02:15] Hi [02:16] hey [02:16] Tophu: Thank you [02:16] wow i finally got this working [02:16] is there a way to use the Synaptic Package Manager to download the newest ATI video card drivers? [02:16] Tophu: hopefully this will help me problem [02:16] where do I change the home-path for a user [02:16] i've heard about this zeitgeist tool. does anyone know about similar thing? is there something out there with same functionality? [02:17] if you need help message me I just went through all that today ;-) [02:17] 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? [02:17] man i've been getting so frustrated with this os [02:17] every time i try to add somthing i get a new error [02:17] Janedoe_: Yes it will you can set it to dual boot when you first install [02:18] how can I make firefox spoof ie7 for login purposes [02:18] it gives you the option to change the sizes of the partition before it does anythin [02:18] Brandon_: why? [02:18] so no need to remove existing OS then, right? (to restate pretty much the same darn thing;) ) [02:18] Jane: no you don't have to, it can be left alone so that if you want to be able to chose to boot in windows you still can [02:18] i've heard about this ZEITGEIST tool. does anyone know about similar thing? is there something out there with same functionality? [02:19] It will setup a bootloader for you so that you can select either Vista or Ubuntu to start up [02:19] great, thanks TunnlRat!

[02:24] ok [02:25] linuxerio , creo que es un ubuntu es [02:25] !info ubuntu-es [02:25] Package ubuntu-es does not exist in intrepid [02:25] !ubuntu-es [02:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-es [02:25] thank you eseven73 :P [02:25] :D [02:25] sigh i installed LAMP on ubuntu.. and when I run mysql -u root i get an acees denied.. this also happens when i run it with sudo... but if i run it as mysql -u myusername it works (or wihtout -u flag)... this is a problem as once im in mysql i can't set the root password.. what to do?

(sarcasm) [02:28] micca: mysql root doesn't have a password by default install, So if you set one, explicitly tell it 'mysql -u root -p' [02:28] micca, you should try channels with 30 people like #puppy, you'll never get help, #Ubuntu is a paradise for help compared to that, why i switched back to Ubuntu ;) [02:29] woah .macromedia/ has a ton of crap [02:29] hehe eseven73 .. ye thx.. and Jeruvy : hence I am confused why I can't start it with mysql -u root (I havent set any password.. i can run it wihtout specifying root but if i try to run as root it gives me access denied) [02:29] micca: you have to specify -p [02:29] Can ubuntu scan for wifi networks like windows and if so how? i can't seem to see my wifi router had to hardwire in [02:29] wow, there's a lot of new people in here [02:29] kanzie: explain more [02:29] I don't 'know anyone :o *cries* [02:30] jonathan__: I want /var/www to be the home-dir of one user [02:30] eseven73, does that mean I must forget about all the root stuff in ubuntu? and just set a pssword for me as the admin user? (jeruvy.. if i specify -p wihtout having set a password I wont be able to log in) [02:30] TunnlRat→ nm-applet on the panel should list all available networks when you click it (in a drop-down) [02:30] oh cause im in the wrong channel sorry [02:30] TunnlRat, yes it does.. but the wireless driver must be enabled and working [02:30] no projects though [02:30] *classes [02:30] micca: correct, but it's one or the other, it cannot be both :) [02:30] kanzie: try "man adduser" [02:30] hrmmm i don't think my wifi card is working then [02:30] jonathan__: I changed /etc/passwd to link to /var/www instead of home/username, howdever it does not trigger... still end up in the /home/username-foder when I log in over sftp. [02:30] TunnlRat→ which wifi card do you have? (Check with 'lspci' in terminal, if required) [02:30] Thinking now of removing the folder and symlink /var/www to /home/username [02:31] no true.. but Jeruvy , did you see what I wrote? I CAN log in as myusername but not as root! [02:31] ' [02:31] what file do I edit to manually set up my gaming keyboard? I need to get the WASDQE section working ^_^ [02:31] shouldn't i on a default install be able to log in as root? [02:31] Which keyboard is this, Tophu?

AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [02:31] you're in luck, TunnlRat [02:31] @micca: I think root is "hidden" by default [02:32] good lol i hate being out of luck [02:32] !ath5k > TunnlRat [02:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about ath5k [02:32] :( [02:32] hello.. can someone tell me how to put the required tools to install from source? I think I need stuff like "make" and "gcc" ? [02:32] hey guys im a completely new to ubuntu (im using Xubuntu) [02:32] micca: ok, so did you try user@host? [02:32] TunnlRat→ are you on a wired network right now [02:32] yeah [02:32] got it [02:32] TunnlRat→ I have the same controller, I can guide you through the setup :) [02:32] micca: ie: root@localhost [02:33] TunnlRat→ just to confirm, you're on intrepid, right? === peter_ is now known as Guest46609 [02:33] when i boot into xubuntu it asks for a server host and i don't want that screen how can i go back to regular login typing in just a regular l/p? [02:33] Menza i have no idea [02:33] jeruvy: lets say my username is plonker : when i run this: mysql (it starts), if i run : mysql -u plonker... it works.. but absoilutely NOT if i specify root [02:33] kanzie: or you go to system => administration => Users and Groups and edit Properties for the appropriate user [02:33] Mobius_thought→ sudo apt-get install build-essentials [02:34] can i just disregard root account or will this be a security hole (i.e. root with no password set ) [02:34] im not used to not being able to go root with sudo [02:34] su* [02:34] TunnlRat→ try cat /etc/lsb-release - that should say [02:34] haj [02:34] !HIDpoint [02:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about HIDpoint [02:34] yeah i am [02:34] Unbuntu 8.10 [02:35] Jeruvy [02:35] TunnlRat→ perfect. Just to describe the process - you need to install the ath5k module (which suits your card), blacklist the old ath_pci module and set the new one up to load automatically on boot. I'll guide you through it [02:35] you are the best [02:35] yup.. it needed the host appendix to accept it... cheers mate!!! [02:35] TunnlRat→ start by running sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic and wait for that to install [02:35] micca: thanks, you got it? [02:35] I'm trying to use HidPoint with my MX Revolution but I get "No Mouse Found" help? [02:36] someone at my place decided to update my xubuntu from 8.04 to 8.10 - firefox started not working properly, the back and forward would be greyed out, it wouldnt put proper home page etc.. - so i googled, several solutions said to remove "xyz.default" and profiles.ini in the .mozilla/firefox folder and then remove / install firefox again. i did that and now firefox wants to make a profile, i dont know how to edit the permissions [02:36] so that it can make the profile folder in the .mozilla/firefox folder and when i make the profile elsewhere it says the profile is in use. then i made the profile on a folder on desktop, firefox loads but it wont work at all and a message pops up telling me "Could not initialize the applications security component" [02:36] micca: see bind-address for details on that [02:36] Jeruvy, yup it needed the suffix of host as you say.. sorry havent run a mysql server in 7 years :P [02:36] any help? [02:36] Hey, I'm having trouble settin up a static IP on one of my computers running ubuntu, I'm starting to try my hand at servers and such. I managed to get it to be a static IP, but I cant get out of my local network (ping google.com fails) [02:36] (yes i already read it jeruvy.. but was silly enough to just blindly follow an ubuntu LAMP install guide) [02:36] micca: hehe I hear that :) [02:36] TunnlRat→ done? [02:37] Menza: yes just finished [02:37] ubuntu is so cool lol ;) i run windows on 1 comp and ubuntu on the other and i want to never have to use my windows again !!! (well, except for cs3 lol) [02:37] type_generic: did you restart networking with "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [02:37] ok last time I'll ask before I'm off for the night, anyone know how to get the "gaming section" of a Merc ZBoard from Ideazon working (secifically the WASDQE keys), or does anyone know which file I can edit to manually map these keys? [02:37] jonathan_: yes, then I typed sudo reboot to see if that would help, nothing [02:37] lakeoftea, cs3? [02:38] what is a good IRC client? i am using XChat-Gnome is there anything better to use? [02:38] anybody able to help my problem? [02:38] menza: it wants me to reboot now [02:38] CounterStrike 3? [02:38] TunnlRat→ perfect. now you need to blacklist the old module - use nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist - you want to go down to the bottom, add blacklist ath_pci [02:38] adobe lol [02:38] !poll | Othor [02:38] TunnlRat→ just a second [02:38] Othor: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:38] type_generic: can you ping the ip of google [02:38] <---I use pidgin cause that's what I had at my fingertips [02:38] no, not counterstrike 3 lol [02:38] TunnlRat→ it may work now, but just to be sure, let's make sure we don't have modules trying to dominate each other [02:38] lol Jeruvy , strike that though ;) in mysql .. even if i logged in as root. i now can't set password with thias ocmmand : mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('hideyhidey'); [02:38] ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' to database 'mysql' [02:38] Is there a CounterStrike 3? [02:38] no [02:38] ;) [02:38] jonathan_:well my ssh to it just crashed for some reason [02:39] lmao ice-nine nothing to do with ubuntu [02:39] micca: hehe that looks wrong use 'grant' [02:39] Jeruvy: thanks [02:39] okidokie [02:39] can any one help with HIDpoint configuration [02:39] Menza: i don't even see that in the list [02:39] micca WIne 4 Sure would run it if it existed :) [02:39] TunnlRat→ no, I want you to /add/ it to the list [02:39] jonathan: the command "ping google.com" results in "ping: unknown host google.com" [02:39] TunnlRat→ :) [02:39] menza: ahhhh understoo [02:40] TunnlRat→ save the file with ctrl + w [02:40] TunnlRat→ when you're done with that, edit /etc/modules in the same manner, and just add ath5k to the bottom of that list. then reboot and remove your ethernet cable. feel free to pop in and let me know if that worked after :) [02:40] Jeruvy.. but grant optipon is for new users no? i mean given I can log in as root@localhost , surely I must create a password for that account by set password no? [02:41] type_generic: I was thinking that perhaps dns isn't working, so you could try 209.85.171.100 which is google and see what happens [02:41] although even back years ago.. i think PASSWORD was somewhat obsolete or osmething.. and rather use a simila rocmmand hmm [02:41] setting the root user password should be done with the following, micca: SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('yourpassword'); [02:41] jonathan_: yeah, just thought to do that, and it works. I noticed the problem when it couldn't resolve stuff in synaptic [02:41] menza: aight one problem lol it won't let me save it says permission denied [02:42] anyone having absurd problems with firefox since updating to 8.10? [02:42] TunnlRat→ ohh, my bad - you need sudo in front [02:42] MenZa, that is what I pasted and it said.. access denied :/ [02:42] TunnlRat→ so sudo nano [02:42] menza: ahhhh okay [02:42] micca: Menza has the right syntax for root mysql may want you to use ` instead of ' tho === SvenZ_Ubuntu is now known as Ubuntu_Noob [02:42] hey anyone know how i can send a message to another person on my WAN network via terminal? === Ubuntu_Noob is now known as SvenZ [02:42] Menza, I used a 2 step process for setting root password. "sudo su" and then "passwd" [02:42] micca→ and mysql -u root -p gives you an error? [02:43] ice-nine→ that's for Ubuntu, not MySQL. and it's awful practice. [02:43] !root > ice-nine [02:43] ice-nine, please see my private message [02:43] *hey anyone know how i can send a message to another person on my WAN network via terminal?* [02:43] jonathan_: what would stop the DNS from working?

[02:43] so it seems as root returns an empty field.. so root isnt recognized internally? [02:43] micca→ if it's still not doing as you might want it to, try this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset [02:43] good day to all [02:43] type_generic: a dns server can be specified in /etc/network/interfaces. but I'm not sure [02:43] anyone with patience willing to Private chat with me to get me up and running? [02:43] *hey anyone know how i can send a message to another person on my WAN network via terminal?* [02:44] type_generic: why it would stop working in your case. [02:44] ok MenZa but i just installed LAMP through the apt-get something something tesl? [02:44] need help mounting partitions with NTFS and getting audio to work [02:44] Menza: will that stop my wired network from working? [02:44] I could only enter with root user to mysql by specifying root@localhost [02:44] TunnlRat→ no, not at all - they're seperate adaptors. [02:44] TunnlRat→ I have that wireless card, and I'm on a wired network right now :) [02:44] micca: try 'root'@'localhost' [02:44] does anybody know how i can change login options from terminal? [02:44] type_generic: I had a similar problem in FreeBSD but it just solved itself after a reboot and I never bothered with it. [02:45] *hey anyone know how i can send a message to another person on my WAN network via terminal?* [02:45] TunnlRat→ basically, ath_pci is the name of an old module for that card. It just doesn't work in Intrepid. [02:45] jonathan_: so I should append my interfaces file to include the DNS servers as supplied by my ISP? Would I just put "DNS 123.456.789.10"?

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

I have two. [02:45] nobody knows do they? [02:46] Alright hopefully my computer doesn't go up in smoke if not i'll be back in a couple mins lol [02:46] wonderpoop→ that depends what login options you're talking about.

[02:48] micca→ it should be in /etc/init.d/mysql [02:48] oki [02:48] YellowRed→ Might want to ask the question stating which printer, which issue, and what you've done to resolve it first [02:48] YellowRed→ that way, people can buy in if they know anything about it [02:49] still command not found :/ [02:49] seaphor channel pls? [02:49] anyone able to help me with firefox? it wouldnt save any user data, a few googled solutions said to delete a folder "leters/numbers.default" and "profile.ini" then completely remove and install firefox. i just updated ubuntu from 8.04 to 8.10 and my graphics driver was removed - reinstalling it will remove xserver-desktop and firefox is now not working because it wants to create a user profile, once created (wont create in its [02:49] intended place, had to create on desktop) it fails to initialize security components [02:49] <|toad> does anyone know how to troubleshoot bluetooth? [02:49] micca→ um, sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start should start it [02:49] Yaaaay my wireless networking is enabled lol [02:49] TunnlRat→ huzzah! [02:49] TunnlRat→ happy WoW'ing :) [02:49] MenZa, negative: commmand not found [02:49] lol one question now though [02:49] micca→ ...where did you install mysql from? [02:50] one sec [02:50] micca→ assuming you installed it from the repositories, that is where the binary should be. [02:50] how do i tell the wireless card what network to connect to i have the wpa key for my router [02:50] MenZa, I used this command: sudo tasksel install lamp-server [02:50] TunnlRat→ you click it and press the wireless network you wish to connect [02:50] TunnlRat→ then you insert the key when asked for it [02:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=linkto%3A%22ApacheMySQLPHP%22 <- micca, I don't know much about tasksel, but I've used this guide numerous times to get MySQL, Apache and PHP running. [02:51] hrmm there are no wireless networks showing and i know there are at least 4 within range including mine [02:51] okidokie.. cheers [02:51] MenZa: mysqld [02:51] Jeruvy→ positive?

[02:52] MenZa, this is the one I used: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP the one you linked didnt give a specific goot hit [02:52] micca→ well, that's what I mean [02:52] i could with windows though maybe not this way [02:53] TunnlRat→ you should have a list of networks when you click it. [02:53] yup but according to that one MenZa I use the ocmmmand I gave you.. then it says to do mysql -u root (which I couldnt until I added @localhost) then I can get in.. then when I try to set the password witht hat command SET PASSWORD etc.. it just wont work :/ [02:53] TunnlRat→ could you pastebin the following: output of `dmesg`, as well as /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [02:53] sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf [02:53] err. [02:54] on the front of my laptop there is a slide button that you can us in windows enable/disable the wifi [02:54] and when I went to that reset page..

[03:01] OK progress [03:01] menza: alright when i did dmesg it comes up with so much stuff i couldn't even see it all [03:01] I did instead [03:01] sudo /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root@localhost password "password" then I got a reply: /usr/bin/mysqladmin: Can't turn off logging; error: 'Access denied; you need the SUPER privilege for this operation' ideas Jeruvy ? [03:01] TunnlRat→ a word of advice; you can output the stuff from dmesg to a file with `dmesg > filename.txt` - then you can open it in gedit (gedit filename.txt) [03:02] hello all [03:02] hi, etzerd [03:02] lla olleh [03:02] micca: sudo /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h localhost -p "password" [03:03] I have a USB modem from Verizon Wireless, I can use it to browse the internet wherever I go.

[03:04] yes [03:04] micca→ please, don't trigger the bot when you have no point [03:04] TunnlRat→ yup === rachel is now known as Guest58288 [03:04] sorry MenZa , was just getting frustrated [03:04] TunnlRat→ I just realised - in the future - there's a package you can install (pastebinit) which will help you pastebin things directly from the terminal. === __Purple__ is now known as _Purple_ [03:04] menZa: I know. It comes with a cd that included the drivers from Verizon. My question is can it works with ubuntu? because saturday I'm traveling to LA I will like to use it using ubuntu instead of windows. [03:05] micca, its /me typehere [03:05] okay so to send this only to you i just have to have your named highlighted right [03:05] etzerd→ good question, let's find out - first, do lspci in a terminal and give me the name of the device [03:05] TunnlRat→ just paste the link here. :) [03:05] hello everyone [03:05] TunnlRat→ it contains no private information or anything of that sort. [03:05] menZa: give me one second [03:05] Is it possible to, using SSH, launch a session on a remote system, and then use Gnome? X11 forwarding seems to work quite well on a single application basis, but I want to launch my entire workspace. [03:05] hehe true [03:05] FrozenFire→ No. You need VNC for that. [03:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/143222/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/143223/ [03:06] 大家好 [03:06] hey guys im having troucble mapping a drive from my ubuntu server to my ubuntu lapto [03:06] SeaPhor, no i know.. I just put words into the bot's mouth [03:06] someone point me to a tutorial? [03:06] FrozenFire, Tightvnc works well [03:06] MenZa: Are you sure? If I cannot do it via Gnome, I'll just launch single applications with X11 [03:06] ok Jeruvy : what is the name of the grant table in which root resides? I ll try to update the fricking entries manually [03:06] I don't want to use VNC, in this case. [03:06] FrozenFire→ For what reason? [03:07] i'm having a strange problem in ubuntu 8.10 where some programs because full screen and i cannot exit it without alt-tabbing because there is no exit, etc, this happed to me on firefox(its not using its full screen option) and KRDC, the only way i got firefox out of it was going to view > fullscreen then unsetting it, because F11 seemed not to do anything, as for KRDC i don't know what i can do about it [03:07] FrozenFire→ Security? [03:07] TunnlRat→ one second. [03:07] MenZa: There are a few, but I'd rather not get into them. [03:07] kk [03:07] FrozenFire→ Right. If it's security you're worried about, you can tunnel VNC through ssh. [03:07] micca: I'm out of ideas. Maybe the experts in #mysql can be more help. [03:07] MenZa: It's not a security issue. The systems will be on a closed network, via a switch [03:07] * micca hits his head... thanks for all the help Jeruvy and MenZa [03:08] eh.. i cant join the channel??? [03:08] 退格建 [03:08] TunnlRat→ It appears to time out when attempting to connect to your hardware. Try running sudo iwconfig and pastebin the output (you can, like I mentioned before, run sudo apt-get install pastebinit, then simply run: sudo iwconfig | pastebinit) [03:08] micca: you need to be identified to join certain channels on freenode [03:08] Next question. Is there a simple interface for setting up and managing a router from within Ubuntu. That is, Ubuntu running a DHCP server, firewall, etc. [03:08] got ya [03:10] there's ipcop, FrozenFire, but I'm not sure how it works. [03:10] TunnlRat, just type the fiest 3-4 letters of the nick you're talking to and hit the Tab key, example: type tunn and hit the Tab key [03:10] FrozenFire→ oops, apparently, it's a distro. My bad. [03:10] Anyone know if powertop saying Ihave 150+/- interrupts per second is a bad thing? And how I can fix it? It gives me U - USB Suspend, but when I hit U it stays there. [03:10] MenZa, I entered some lines in gedit for the audio device, and saved and exited, but got this response [03:10] FrozenFire, i think theres specific distros just for firewalls check distrowatch.com === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:10] (gedit:14516): WARNING **: Could not write gedit state file: Failed to create file '/root/.gnome2/gedit-2.S55VRU': No such file or directory [03:10] Also, is there a way to configure my wireless connection as the preferred connection? Whenever I have my wireless network active, and my wired network active, network manager insists on using the wired connection. [03:11] SvenZ→ I don't know anything about SoundBlaster cards, personally - sorry :( [03:11] SvenZ→ try using a different editor - like nano. [03:11] (and make sure you run it as sudo) [03:11] MenZa, http://paste.ubuntu.com/143225/ [03:11] FrozenFire, thats because the wired is supposedly faster [03:11] i have no idea what im doing [03:12] SeaPhor: In this case, wired is 256Kb/s, whereas wifi is 2MB/s [03:12] TunnlRat→ is the name of your wireless network "i see you"? [03:12] MenZa, lawl no thats my neighbours mine is "Masterrat" [03:12] Ok not sure exactly what i need here. What is the best way to share folders from my Ubuntu-Server to my Windows machines and my Ubuntu laptops? [03:12] hmm by the way.. when one is browsing through files with the GUI and wants to open them as root (sudo) how can I add that as an option within the gui? [03:12] TunnlRat→ Ah. And you're positive nothing comes up when you press the networking icon on the top panel? [03:12] TunnlRat→ your hardware seems ready to connect [03:12] I intend to upgrade from fiesty to gutsy.... do I need to backup my data... and are there any potential problems to take note of [03:12] Doonz, Samba perhaps? [03:12] !samba [03:12] 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. [03:12] micca, run gksu nautilus [03:13] is that the best one? [03:13] micca→ you could write a script, or you could run nautilus with sudo - gksu nautilus [03:13] absolutely, Doonz [03:13] micca: is that the best option for me? [03:13] ok [03:13] Doonz→ samba is excellent. [03:13] !printing [03:13] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [03:13] hi : ) [03:13] hello, juanjo [03:13] cups sometimes can be difficult [03:13] FrozenFire, do they both connect to the same router?, same default gateway/dhcp-server? [03:13] MenZa, when i left click the wireless networks thing is greyed out [03:13] so now that i have samba installed and running on my fileserver. and i can access my share no problem on my vista/xp computers. How can i get it mapped on my ubuntu laptop [03:13] Ububegin: upgrades are never recommended, but backup your /home directory to ensure nothing important dies. If your running server you may need to be aware of other dirs in /var or /usr for instance. [03:14] cheers mrwes and MenZa : and how do i Add that tha option as I only have the folders through the places in the taskbar (do i change it in my profile file or osmething?) [03:14] TunnlRat→ interesting... [03:14] how do I display memory usages / [03:14] ? [03:14] TunnlRat→ could you give me one second - I need a reboot [03:14] SeaPhor: No, one goes to a very slow cable connection, the other goes to a business-grade connection. [03:14] TunnlRat→ (Just upgraded to Jaunty Beta) [03:14] MenZa, for sure [03:14] TunnlRat→ shouldn't be a minute [03:14] SeaPhor: They are two independent networks. [03:14] Jeruvy: never recommended.. O_O .... so you are saying i stick with fiesty [03:14] Doonz: Plces -> Connect ot server, enter details. [03:14] ok [03:15] q [03:15] ! I do not know what it means to ever have a break.. these ubuntu guys are killing me! [03:15] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:15] darn [03:15] Doonz, or you can mount the samba share in your /etc/fstab file [03:15] MenZa: when I do lspci in a terminal the name of the USB Modem doesn't show up.

If you're ever up for it, you could re-try the ath5k driver. It might've been the same issue causing it.

[04:32] ndshacker, there are nothing but webattacking tools ther etc.. not just letdown so spare me [04:32] micca, well, your answer is better than silence :/ [04:32] TunnlRat→ They do - but perhaps ndiswrapper doesn't like it with your card. :/ [04:32] TunnlRat→ I had that issue with my old card.

During this time, no other host which has the same mount points is having the same issues, so it doesn't appear to be the server side - I was wondering if anyone had any thoughs on client-side things which might need changing. The box itself is serving content, so w [04:34] do any of the install cds have ssh enabled by default, where i can ssh in and install? [04:35] dos anyone know where i can get the gcc 4.4.0 for ubuntu?

[04:43] jtaji: each with its own taskbar, etc. [04:43] anyone know why my PATH might not want to stick when i set it? [04:44] \server localhost [04:44] jon23d: not with twinview, twinview is meant to make 1 big desktop... I think the nVidia settings manager has options for what you want, though. Just not Twinview.

[04:48] how can use start-stop-daemon to start svnserve?? [04:48] cdm101: I kind of figured dual monitors would be like different sides of the cube [04:50] jon23d: it's more like one big monitor you can drag stuff across. I'm fairly sure, though, that there was some option... something like "Separate X Screens"... that kinda did what you want to do. [04:50] hmm whats the differencne between sqlbudy and phpmyadmin [04:51] cdm101: yeah, that's what I'm finding.

You are in a terminal right now right? [05:33] slerder: its just a false positive. rkhunter is notorious for it. You can ignore it [05:34] geforce 440 ziroday [05:34] slerder: and attempting to reinstall dpkg is dangerous [05:34] man this was a quick connect [05:34] yea I am in a terminal window [05:34] gopp: I thought you said you had an ati card? [05:35] i couldn't read the last few messages - it changes very fast [05:35] last thing i caught was [05:35] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 440 Go] (rev a3) [05:35] see ziroday [05:35] I was wrong [05:35] it not ati [05:35] starting hardware abstraction layer hald [05:35] gopp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:39] error occured [05:39] bandung [05:39] ynk: I dunno, never used photoshop before so I can't compare :) [05:40] bimzee: why are you compiling make from source? You should uses packages instead [05:40] !packages [05:40] You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [05:40] ziroday, i meant comparing GIMPshop to Gimp. =) [05:40] its not make [05:40] its gmake [05:40] ynk: oh, well its meant to photoshopify gimp. Personally I prefer it the other way around but thats just me [05:40] bimzee: make *is* gmake [05:41] bimzee: http://www.gnu.org/software/make/ [05:41] please check this [05:41] http://pastebin.com/d35a2fdb0 [05:41] how do i disable remote login from the terminal window?

[05:41] no i tried [05:41] no problem [05:41] bimzee: for the last time. make is gmake. You already have make installed. You should NOT compile make from source [05:41] make is not working [05:42] i think ubottu might have helped me with the cache search [05:42] http://pastebin.com/f13265700 ziroday [05:42] bimzee, it's not make that is not working, it's what you are trying to do with it [05:42] doink1212: sorry, what are you looking for again? [05:42] doink1212: oh thats right, snack :). Its in the repo's. Doing apt-cache search snack will show a whole bunch of related libs [05:43] i am trying to run rtems === meanburrito920_ is now known as iBurrito [05:43] to compile the program i need gmake [05:43] ya its called libsnack2 [05:43] i found it [05:43] doink1212: awesome [05:43] bimzee, you need 'make' that's all [05:43] another question [05:43] will make work instead of gmake? [05:43] what is a good program that converts wmv files [05:43] bimzee: yes [05:43] let me try once more [05:43] gopp: thanks, gimme a sec [05:43] bimzee, and you seem to have make ... as ziroday said 10 times : make == gmake :) [05:43] k [05:44] thanks ziroday [05:44] nado: at least somebody gets me :D [05:44] devede [05:44] i think [05:44] does wmv === iBurrito is now known as stealthburrito [05:44] gopp: okay, you installed the nvidia driver. [05:44] yes [05:44] using the gui tools [05:44] in ubuntu [05:44] what are the cons of installing Ubuntu inside windows? [05:45] ynk: its hard to fix and is more prone to breaking. Its also slower === stealthburrito is now known as yitz_ === yitz_ is now known as zacs7_ [05:45] when i boot recovery, in the startup messages i get "BIOS handoff failed" [05:45] devede is a disc burning utility [05:46] not a file coverter [05:46] ziroday, this is true. i did notice it's slower than i expected.. even though this is my real first experience with the OS. === thatguy_ is now known as superguy23m [05:46] gopp: okay, can you change the line that says Driver "nvidia" to Driver "vesa" please [05:46] How do I connect to a SHH server with terminal?

[05:51] ne1 here use ubuntu? [05:51] Geoffrey2, apt-cache search libxul [05:52] !cron [05:52] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [05:52] alexmhso, can't you point to that location in banshee... i'm guessing here i have no clue [05:52] well [05:52] nado: i created a folder on my external drive [05:53] nado, I see four different files, but libxul-unstable is not among them [05:53] nado: called banshee music, and i set banshee to keep it's library there, but im concerned that if i removed the drive and put it back, banshee wont find it in the same pathway. also, for some reason i cant copy the music from the drive in the itunes music folder into banshee [05:54] Geoffrey2 what do you need it for ? [05:55] Hi Just updated to 8.04 should the java be updated or do i need to re-install it? [05:55] alexmhso, read the answer to the question here : http://www.nabble.com/Loading-media-from-an-external-drive-td19930780.html . Is that what you are looking for ? [05:56] nado, building a program from source, the config file is looking for both of those, and can't find either [05:56] i installed kubuntu desktop earloer and uninstalled... now how do i get the original ubuntu splash back [05:56] Hola:D [05:56] so, no ideas then? [05:56] alguien que hable español? [05:56] hello, how to install nvidia9500gt on the ubuntu8.10 [05:56] spanish? [05:56] !es [05:56] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [05:56] nado: yes except one small thing. if the drive autmatically mounted in ubuntu and it shows as an icon on my desktop, do i need to set any ownership or write-ability or is it good to go? [05:56] Geoffrey2, ./config should give you a minimum version for libxul [05:57] hello, how to install nvidia9500gt on the ubuntu8.10 [05:57] alexmhso, it should be good to go [05:57] alexmhso, you can try.. nothing will break :) [05:57] Do any Linux antivirus apps work well to clean a Windows PC (booting Linux from a DVD)? I think my friends computer might be infected. [05:57] i guess not [05:57] !hang [05:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about hang [05:58] nado: thanks! [05:58] alexmhso, if it can't write to it.. come back here. We'll figure it out, but it should be ok [05:58] i installed kubuntu desktop over ubuntu didnt like it and uninstalled... now how do i get the original ubuntu splash back [05:59] nado, remind me, what file would have all that information in it? [05:59] My System hangs for 3-4 secs pretty frequently what might be the problem.. As and when i open firefox its more frequent.!!! Using 8.10 ... [05:59] John`1: relax its easy [05:59] Geoffrey2, the standard when building from source is to run ./configure [05:59] k [05:59] Geoffrey2, when configure has a failed dependency it should tell you what is missing and possibly the minimum version that is required for that specific library to meet the dependency [06:00] !java [06:00] 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 [06:00] My System hangs for 3-4 secs pretty frequently what might be the problem.. As and when i open firefox its more frequent.!!! Using 8.10 ... [06:00] arunreddy: ubuntu 8.10 has hanging problems and it is not stable i would advice u to stop using it and use ubuntu 8.04 [06:00] arunreddy: esp with firefox [06:01] krishnan: Any Better browsers ..!! [06:01] ny idea about 9.04 [06:01] did you give it a try [06:01] so Krishnan how do i do this? [06:01] arunreddy: 9.04 will be LTS and hence it should be good [06:02] nado, the message is "No package 'libxul-unstable' found" [06:02] alright WTF [06:02] How does gcc search for include files? I installed clutter, and the clutter-dev package, but I have to include the whole "clutter-0.8/clutter/clutter.h" in order to get it to compile. How is this normally done? [06:02] John`1: u need to relax, take deep breath and think hard,if u dnt get then search in google, if not ask here if everything fails, bang ur head on the wall and think if tht too fails, thant get over it buddy [06:03] krishnan thats not much help idiot [06:03] nado: thanks it's working...copying is going to take all night or longer, but thank you [06:03] zoerb, -Ipath_to_include_files (that is a big i at the beginning) [06:03] krishnan: so 9.04 is LTS? good [06:04] John`1 relax john i was cheering u up. [06:04] see [06:04] so, no ideas then? [06:04] so zoerb you need to add something like -Iclutter-0.8/clutter/ [06:04] im not upset and if u wanna joke maybe this isnt the room for u.. this is a support channel [06:04] zoerb, but isnt there a configure script ? [06:05] alexmhso, no problem [06:05] John`1: insert the ubuntu CD and restart and try to repair it. if that does nt work then i would suggest you to take back up and reinstall cos wen u remove some package the ones related to ubuntu might have been affected. this is the only possible way. and pls do not teach me manners. hope this solves ur problem [06:05] Nado: If i have all up to date java is there a reason a applet isn't showing in firefox? [06:06] I thought something should have been configured so that I could have just done #include [06:06] mafsi: it should be [06:06] am i silenced or something? [06:06] mafsi: cos LTS versions are more robust than other normal versions [06:07] * eternal is running 8.04 LTS [06:07] eternal, no idea. Maybe check the error console in firefox [06:07] eternal, Tools->Error Console [06:07] krishnan: sau v6 LTS | 7.10 | 8.04 LTS | 8.10 | 9.04 LTS ? [06:07] so* === DBO2 is now known as DBO [06:07] yes zoerb that should be the way [06:07] mafsi: didnt get u [06:08] krishnan: are you saying that one version is short term support the next one LTS? ==> 9.04 is LTS? [06:08] zoerb, how did you install the clutter-dev package ? [06:08] mafsi: yes [06:08] through apt [06:09] or synaptic, I should say [06:09] Nado: all i got from that is ! Error: [Exception...

[06:11] no, just /usr/include/clutter-0.8/clutter [06:12] zoerb, in your program have tried doing #include === meh is now known as Guest14801 [06:12] Fixed it didn't load the java-6 plugin for firefox [06:13] eternal, cool :) [06:13] yes, that finds clutter.h, but then it can't find any other include files, included from clutter.h, for example clutter/clutter-color.h [06:13] my sound just randomly stopped working, what do i do? [06:13] Guest did you change any of the drivers? [06:13] no [06:13] I rebooted my machine [06:13] zoerb, i would try creating a symlink in /usr/include to clutter-0.8/clutter [06:14] zoerb, cd /usr/include && sudo ln -s clutter-0.8/clutter clutter [06:15] Please PM me if anyone knows of a good way to do a whole disk encryption similar to PGP for Windows. [06:15] zoerb, and then #include in your program [06:15] okay, but it would be normal, to #include correct? Did it just install wrong or something? [06:15] hey all quick question i have been having a hard time with my wireless in 9.04 it cuts out all the time [06:16] zoerb, i've never used clutter, but yes i would say there might be a problem in the paths [06:17] okay, well thanks for your help === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [06:18] how do I configure eclipse for php ?

[06:45] actually i just visited the pam_usb page - it says automounting isn't necessary, that it queries hal. must be a problem with that package or w/ my hardware [06:45] mib_ab6d1e: you can add it in /etc/fstab === Album is now known as Album|Awy [06:46] Buiss: it doesn't need to be automounted === tomy69 is now known as tomy6969x69 === Raistlin1 is now known as Raistl|n [06:48] mib_ab6d1e:then what?

[07:29] land: commands in the cli(command line interface) are typically bash commands..... bash is a programming language [07:29] the server is our gateway yes [07:29] now it just keeps requesting a key [07:29] oh [07:29] and nothing [07:29] TheFunkbomb, wierd works for me... [07:30] land: my best suggestion is to google for specific commands... when in doubt google as well as from within the cli type man "command" [07:30] are you getting a GPG error? [07:30] weird [07:30] MikeyPooh, it should bbe whatever IP you access it with [07:30] oh, it worked. I just needed to be patient [07:30] hello everyone [07:30] see, i am trying to setup Ubuntu server as the router so there is no other router [07:30] awesome!

[07:31] frybye, yell at it [07:31] :P [07:31] frybye: talk slower [07:31] timboy_: <--- is the person to yell at... [07:31] hello all [07:31] hello [07:31] frybye, doubt that will work... ;) [07:32] one thing is killing me: i want ubuntu to restore all my windows after logging in. i can'ty find it! [07:32] how do i disable the splash during boot and when im shutting down the system on Ubuntu 8.04?? [07:32] is there an fix for the fact that synaptic quick search does not find packages? [07:32] so who has a real tip - azureus yells at me that I need to download flash and i have the 64bit alpha von adobe already and generally it works fine.. [07:32] elluce, go to system preferences sessions [07:32] elluce, System > Preferences > Session [07:32] so there is going to be a config some place that i need to alter or?? [07:32] elluce, in the options check that box [07:33] frybye, probably more of an azureus mailing list question... [07:34] timboy_, thanks. i am trying it now ;-) [07:34] Does anyone else get white noise when hovering over music files sometimes? [07:34] john'1 is it not in system / administr / login , that you can set the options for splash? [07:34] this is in the Jaunty beta [07:35] for gdm [07:35] jhass840, they're supposed to play a sample. check your sound settings make sure all the tests work... [07:35] jhass840, #ubuntu+1 [07:35] timboy_: Was it a bad idea to file a bug report? [07:36] jhass840, not sure what the issue was... just know all jaunty questions should be in ubuntu+1 channel [07:37] timboy_: oh, sorry [07:38] jhass840, no need for an apology we've all been there [07:40] ...wow. /names took almost five seconds to get through all of this...anyway, I found a Genesis emulator called Gens/GS, and it worked wonderfully. Now, it suddenly doesn't want to give me any sound, for no apparent reason. It also has an annoying habit of not showing any information whatsoever when running in a terminal. Does anyone have any idea of what I might do to fix this? [07:40] Surlent777, gen/gs mailing list [07:41] Surlent777, if normal ubuntu sound works we can't help [07:41] timboy_: I figured it was a long shot anyway [07:42] Surlent777, sorry... one good question is did you install an ubuntu deb [07:43] or did you do a source build? [07:44] timboy_: I seem to have had a deb file, as it shows up in Synaptic [07:45] timboy_: Is there a simple way for it to double-check whether all of the dependencies are met, in case I accidentally deleted something essential? [07:46] Surlent777, if you have the deb installed then all the dependencies have to be met in order to install properly. I was just making sure it was the maintained version. You could try to install from source... or see if there is a newer version on the maintainer's site... [07:47] timboy_: What I find strange is that it WAS working. Now, when I go to tick off "Enable Sound", it refuses to be ticked [07:48] Surlent777, sounds like an app bug to me. look for update or build from source [07:49] timboy_: ok, thanks for the advice [07:49] hello === Zaraphrax is now known as Zaraphrax[laptop [07:50] since i installed jaunty, amsn wont connect, can u help ? === Zaraphrax[laptop is now known as Zaraphrax_Laptop === Zaraphrax_Laptop is now known as Zaraphrax [07:51] Cezar, please visit the #ubuntu+1 channel [07:51] thnx [07:51] np === rashire2 is now known as rashire [07:52] Surlent777, if you have the deb installed then all the dependencies have to be met in order to install properly.

I cannot get Orca to launch [08:07] nhasian, I have an xbmc ubuntu box and I wanted to get the newest driver to take advantage of the new tech. but ubuntu and upgraded nvidia drivers have never mixed well for me... probably because I'm shaking and not stirring...

[08:10] thx [08:11] oliver_: did upgrade drivers for graphiccard ? [08:11] timboy_, the only tricky thing is to remember to mark the nvidia file executable with +x and to go to another terminal (CTL-ALT-F1) so you can shutdown the gdm [08:11] anyone know about edubuntu and ltsp? [08:11] nhasian, yea that's what I did the first time [08:12] simplexio, yes i did, but i replaced the xorg.conf with the original (vesa) and still no go with those kernels and works with the original installed with intrepid [08:12] loginhelp, I believe the channel is #ubuntu-ltsp [08:12] simplexio, could it be the kernels are corrupted from my source? [08:13] simplexio, cause i actually reinstalled ubuntu and did the update and im still where i stand before the install [08:13] i forgot, where do you go in xchat to highlight keywords?

[08:15] \join #psoc [08:16] I confess that I can't tell the difference between the updater icons; is the spiky orange one more critical or is the red downwards arrow the critical one?

I'd actually guessed the other way around. :-/ [08:19] * rdw goes to apply some updates [08:19] * oliver_ is angry cause he is capped [08:20] anyone know why ifconfig sees my wireless card but wpa_gui doesn't list any adaptors?

[08:24] is it normal to use wpa_gui with ubuntu? it's not working for me [08:24] fair enough jordan, but I'm open to ubuntu being great, but If I've to do a million sudo lines or whatever they are to get my display working properly like bloody vista does, then I'll probably be away from linux for another few years [08:24] graphics card in is laptop, so I'm not sure [08:24] kyledr, Network-manager should deal with wpa [08:25] a: the screen resolution stuff is a known area.

[08:27] a: it might not solve your problem. just saying it's a 'known area' [08:27] Jordan_U: KDE 4.2 is meant to have a penel? I don't get in 9.04. [08:28] ah 4.2! seems exciting. is KDE 4.2 going to be included with Kubuntu 9.04? [08:28] hirange: yes [08:28] #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty questions. Thanks. [08:28] hirange: 4.2 instead of 4.1 in 9.04 [08:28] nice. i tried 4.0.1 or somesuch and didn't care for it [08:28] but i'm sure 4.2 will be nicer [08:28] cheers frog, if it's likely to be fixed, then fair enough, thanks again [08:28] sebsebseb: cool - I'm finding it quite stable even now - not really extending it but still.. [08:28] sebsebseb: a few 'glitches' but nothing too untoward. [08:29] why is ubuntu so gnome-centric? so many things people just rely on it auto-working, and if you don't take the stock install, it won't work eaily at all, i mean gentoo is easier to get wireless working for christ's sake [08:29] frogonwheels: no my KDE went all weird after upgrading to the alpha and remians weird in the beta, but this isn't really the channel to talk abot 9.04 [08:29] Guys, take Jaunty to the Jaunty channel. Thanks. [08:29] #ubuntu+1 to talk about Jaunty [08:29] no [08:29] I'm wondering if i'm totally going to mess things up if i install the latest version of ntfs-3g from source on Kubuntu 8.04? [08:29] Flannel: np. [08:29] kyledr_: #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support questions, thanks. [08:30] hirange: at least remove your currently installed version of ntfs-3g first [08:30] ziroday: ok [08:30] Flannel: how do i get wpa_gui working? [08:30] Flannel: I can't use network-manager apparently [08:30] I am in #ubuntu+1 so join guys and we can continue [08:30] hirange, Why do you want to install the latest version? [08:30] kyledr, install wicd [08:31] sudo apt-cache search wicd returned nothing [08:31] how can I install gimp-2.2 additionally on 8.10? [08:31] kyledr, Do you have universe enabled? [08:32] should, last i checked [08:32] kyledr, add this line your /etc/apt/sources.list : deb http://apt.wicd.net intrepid extras [08:33] kyledr, then : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wicd === philipp is now known as _phoenix_ [08:35] Hi Where can I find the Ubuntu Humun Theme icons? [08:35] sweet. i uninstalled ntfs-3g and installed the new one from source. had to install libtool before the autogen.sh would work tho [08:35] now to see if i can still use my ntfs drive [08:35] nado: is there a gui for this? [08:35] yes [08:35] gui for package management? yuck [08:35] should be in the top right once installed [08:36] or it's at reboot [08:36] top right of what? i'm using ion [08:36] well in your panel [08:36] my nonexistent panel? [08:36] where your running programs are [08:36] can some help me- i have dependency problem installing smbfs : choice@choicegrow:~$ sudo apt-get install smbfs http://paste.ubuntu.com/143323/ [08:37] i've tried running: wicd and it just says "/var/run/wicd/wicd.pid" [08:37] wicd-client [08:37] or wicd-client which does "attempting to connect tray to daemon... success. done." [08:37] sweet. it's working. I highly recommend upgrading your ntfs-3g on ubuntu if you use ntfs drives a lot. I tried to do a backup to my ntfs drive the other day and after about 75GB it was using 100% of my CPU and copying maybe 0.5-1 MB/s [08:37] but it makes no programs show up [08:37] the revision of ntfs-3g in the ubuntu repositories is way out of date [08:38] i have no tray first of all [08:38] it's in the "task bar"... no panel no gui .. you can uninstall [08:38] there's been like 8 releases since the most current ntfs-3g in the repos and a couple fixed major bugs [08:38] nado: so can i get wpa_gui working? [08:39] simple question: is there a keyboard shortcut to open a terminal ? [08:39] umm, hello, I was wondering if someone could help me with something [08:39] i don't know what that is.. never used it [08:39] IronWilliamCash: I don't think so, but I'm fairly sure you can configure one. [08:39] does anyone know if it's possible to get wpa_gui working with ubuntu? [08:39] IronWilliamCash: in ion it's f2 :P [08:39] IronWilliamCash: or, if you feel like typing, alt+f2 opens the run dialog [08:39] Rystmis: thx I'll look into that [08:39] ironwilliamcash: if you run KDE i recommend katapult [08:39] oh oki that might do it [08:40] kyledr_, did you try installing it ? [08:40] hirange: nah I'm on gnome [08:40] kyledr, i mean what's the problem with it ? [08:40] hi all, i recently changed my linux user's password, and now everytime I log in, it asks me to type in my (old) password for the keyring for the wireless...how do I get it to stop asking? [08:41] can someone running 8.10 or 9.04 confirm if pmount works with removable media such as a flash drive. it seems to be broken under 8.10 [08:41] how can i check who's connecting my ubuntu using netstat ?? [08:41] nado: i uninstalled wicd. i figured out my problem, wpa_supplicant needs to be running for wpa_gui to work, duh [08:41] when i log out then log in, the knetworkmanager icon not dock in tray, but become a widget, why? [08:41] does anyone know why i cannot see my ubuntu share in windows [08:42] anyone have any tips for upgrading a feisty box using do-release-upgrade? I somehow need it to use old-releases for backports rather than $country.archive.org [08:42] ironwilliamcash: you might try gnome + do - do.davebsd.com [08:42] !upgrade | johnf [08:42] johnf: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [08:42] johnf: yes, you do. Switch your repos over to old-releases and do a fully update, and then you can use the regular upgrade tools [08:42] c0l2e: type 'sudo netstat -an | more' [08:43] hirange: thx mate :) [08:43] LostChain, more details please ? Are you trying to access over the network. Or on the same machine ? [08:43] ok, how do I configure the password used to access my keyring? [08:43] over the network [08:44] ironwilliamcash: you're welcome :) i use katapult for kde and I find it way useful [08:44] nado: i have made my share folder shareable in ubuntu but windows doesnt reconize [08:44] dawg LOL [08:44] hirange: I'm on the do website now and downloading :) Hope it works well [08:45] LostChain: Samba is more for viewing WIndows partitions in Linux, than the other way round [08:45] !samba [08:45] 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. [08:45] nado: well doesnt that suck [08:45] LostChain: partitions? I meant shared folders [08:45] LostChain: nope it's quite alright [08:45] nado: yea i can see windows shares from ubuntu but i just cant do it the other way around, i thought maybe someone else knew [08:46] Um, I have a problem, I want to save some files from a dual boot box (XP and ubuntu), right now windows is dead, I wanted to take out the data using a an external HDD, but ubuntu mounts the drive as Read only and I can't move the data, could someone help me please? [08:46] LostChain: you need to have smbd running [08:46] (samba daemon) [08:46] LostChain: why would you want Windows to have access to Ubuntu anyway? [08:46] SrEstroncio: to clarify, ubuntu is mounting your external HDD as read only? [08:46] anyone know how to change a keyring password? [08:46] is gimp 2.2 still in the repo? [08:46] Yes [08:46] shivamib: ok... [08:46] hirange: Yes [08:47] you can access your linux partitions using the program explore2fs (I think that's how you spell it) === boy is now known as Guest58551 [08:47] srestroncio: you may need to unmount it and then use a command line switch to make it mount as read/write. I believe the reason it is mounted as read only by default is because the devs weren't certain the ntfs support in ubuntu was stable when they put that feature in. [08:47] hello, I have dual monitors, when I play flash video full screen in a browser(such as youtube), it always goes to the secondary screen, is there a way for me to change that? [08:47] SrEstroncio: ntfs3g is magic word [08:48] srestroncio: i'll see if i can find you a webpage that explains it [08:48] mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/hda1 -o force [08:48] hai guise :> [08:48] sebsebseb: well i have an hp touchsmart in the other room, and i use it as a tv and movie viewer [08:48] is there a metapackage for installing kde4? [08:48] SrEstroncio: assuming that hd is in ntfs format, i could be also fat32 which is another magic word [08:48] (I'm running gnome atm) [08:48] swoop5713: according to packages.ubuntu.com gimp 2.2.x is only available for dapper .. gimp 2.6 not working for you ? [08:48] Simplexio and hirange: What do you mean by "magic word"? [08:48] sebsebseb: i want to make my ubuntu system be my movie server for the house [08:49] gamla_kossan: yes of course [08:49] gamla_kossan: Which version of Ubuntu are you using? [08:49] Flannel: 8.10 [08:49] sebsebseb: sweet :> [08:49] Would you mind guiding me step by stem through the process of mounting it as read/write? [08:49] gamla_kossan: then install the kubuntu-desktop package [08:49] gamla_kossan: gamla old in Swedish, are you Swedish? you can sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop for KDE 4.1 or get the PPA for KDE 4.2 [08:49] Flannel: ah, right, thanks :> [08:49] LostChain: no problem, just make sure you have samba installed [08:49] sebsebseb: yep :> [08:49] glitsj16, I need it too, because I read a book about it. [08:50] LostChain: service samba status [08:50] ihave a question as i am new to ubuntu [08:50] shivamib: how would i be able to determind that [08:50] yazden: ok just ask the question [08:50] !ask > yazden [08:50] yazden, please see my private message [08:50] Anyone know how I can "lock" my mouse into one monitor while using TwinView? [08:50] oh, I thought 4.2 was in the standard repos [08:50] i am havin trouble with my wifi card [08:50] can i mark package installed somehow, when it failed at configuration because i removed some files, but otherwise the application is working okey, but when i try to add something that depends on it, it yells at me because of "broken dep" can i mark that packet working somehow ? [08:50] so if I want to run 4.2, I need to add another repo? [08:50] shivamib: i checked my processes and smbd is running [08:50] gamla_kossan: no Ubuntu only does security updates, 4.2 does not class as one [08:50] SrEstroncio: google search word [08:50] NimbleRabit, have u tried synergy. i know how to do so with that [08:50] sebsebseb: ah [08:51] gamla_kossan: no you do the PPA [08:51] gamla_kossan: or wait untill 9.04 where you get KDE 4.2 by default [08:51] srestroncio: try this http://www.swerdna.net.au/linhowtontfs.html [08:51] LostChain: so the easy way now is you right click on a folder, choose sharing options [08:51] (the folder you want to share, a-la windows) [08:51] sebsebseb: hm...... nah, wanna try it out right away actually. [08:51] swoop5713: fair enough .. i don't know if it's possible to have both 2.2 and 2.6 side by side on the same ubuntu though, try to get it from packages.ubuntu.com from dapper section (usual dependency hell warning activated) [08:51] b3rz3rk3r: isn't synergy a thing for going between more than 1 computer? I'm wanting to lock into one monitor on the same computer [08:51] share this folder, guest account [08:51] so PPA huh? *googles* [08:52] shivamib: done. the folder is shared [08:52] see if it works [08:52] gamla_kossan: i'll get a link hold on [08:52] now try to find it on windows [08:52] srestroncio: the 'rw' and umask flags on the mount commant are important to make sure it is writable [08:52] how can i set metacity instead of openbox in LXDE ? [08:52] is it my driver? [08:52] Hi guys I just installed ubuntu on a laptop never used it before, and I have some questions about wireless connections, drivers, and management of hardware in general [08:52] NimbleRabit, ah.. i thought thats what twinview did.. n/m then.. sry [08:52] gamla_kossan: and if you don't know what a ppa is, well [08:52] sebsebseb: 's alrgight, just found it :) [08:52] !ppa > gamla_kossan [08:52] gamla_kossan, please see my private message [08:53] gamla_kossan: yeah on the Kubuntu site some where etc yeah [08:53] srestroncio: the relevant part of that link is the 'Temporary Mounts for Internal Drives' section [08:53] NimbleRabit, power down the monitor when u want it locked? [08:53] glitsj16, ok, thanks! what do you mean by dep hell warning activated? [08:53] !ask > Fitch [08:53] Fitch, please see my private message [08:53] sebsebseb: I'm really a fedora guy, but am switching to ubuntu. [08:53] NimbleRabit, have u tried asking on the twin forums? [08:53] so no, I'm not really familiar with ppa. [08:53] LostChain: did it work? [08:53] hirange: Wait, what? [08:53] shivamib: windows can see the server but the folder does not apear [08:53] uh... [08:53] gamla_kossan: how come? and yeah I started with Fedora Core 2 and 4, then went Ubuntu, and been with since the second release [08:53] why does sudo iwlist scan give me no results? [08:54] b3rz3rk3r: haven't tried asking there yet no, thought I would come here first. [08:54] srestroncio: before you get started you might want to run 'sudo fdisk -l' which will give you a list of all your drives and partitions so you can identify what linux has named the external drive [08:54] gamla_kossan: we are starting to go off topic, plus I wanted to since your a Sweed :D I was going to pm you, or you can pm me first [08:54] shivamib: this is what i have been dealing with, i feel i am forgetting somethig [08:54] swoop5713: well, if you have gimp 2.6 already installed, it will probably complain when you try to install 2.2 ... dependency hell refers to things that might crash if you mix packages for dapper on intrepid [08:55] LostChain: hang on [08:55] shivamib: ok [08:56] How do I get my wireless card to work? The option to find networks in my area is always greyed out. I have tried using ndiswrapper to get the drivers installed using information from 3 different tutorials I found and it still wont work [08:56] i cant get my built in wifi to work on my Eee pc? [08:56] swoop5713: only alternative i see is trying to build gimp 2.2 manually and giving it a slightly different package name via the checkinstall package [08:56] yazden, what kind is it? [08:56] what kind is what? [08:57] dang both of you guys messaged at the same time about wifi adaptors? :) [08:57] yazden, brand of wifi [08:57] idk its built in [08:57] heh its been really bugging me today, and I just installed Ubuntu so Im not up to speed on it [08:57] yazden, Fitch open a terminal and type "lshw -C network" [08:57] glitsj16, well I will try it. but I have no idea of checkinstall [08:57] ok hand on let me get my laptop in here [08:57] yazden, can you do "lspci -v" and lookup the exact wifi info [08:57] my network interface eth1 is up but it won't give any scan results, any ideas? [08:57] yazden, Fitch also are you running ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10? [08:58] how do i do that? [08:58] Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal [08:59] I changed the rights of smb.conf to 644 to work in it how do I return to the attributes that were entered before. which number was that (just the owner was allowed to write & read) [09:00] swoop5713: checkinstall is used to replace the usual "sudo make install" step (with "sudo checkinstall) .. you will get extra options in that step to change package name, version # etc. and the added benefit of being able to uninstall via the regular command or synaptic integrate in dpkg [09:00] what am looking for? [09:00] shivamib: do you think maybe this problem i am having has anything to do with the fact that my share on ubuntu is an ntfs partition [09:01] how can I check connected clients to my machine using netstat ?? [09:01] yazden this may help you a lot:http://www.array.org/ubuntu/ [09:02] glitsj16, ah, thanks that helped I will give it a try. [09:02] hello [09:02] anyone here with eggdrop experience? [09:02] swoop5713: that way actually it would be possible i believe to have both gimps side by side if you rename gimp 2.2 package to something like swoop-gimp or anything, goodluck [09:02] LostChain: it is? [09:03] LostChain: probably not, but i'd recommend using ext3 [09:03] shivamib: yes, i have a dual boot system and my 1.5 terabyte is an ntfs partition [09:03] glitsj16, ok ty [09:03] LostChain: you can repartition it on the live cd using gparted [09:03] ok typed in lspci -v, what am I looking for? it says access denied by capabilities fuessing thats not good [09:03] i am currently using gnome, which are the good pdf readers available? [09:03] er guessing [09:03] shivamib: yes but that would become a problem if i need to access that drive in windows xp [09:04] i'm confused by an aspect of python, maybe you all can help. I have a set of objects in a list. these objects have an instance var count. for some reason when i try to decrement the count var by a class method, it'll update inside the class, but the changes won't be passed back to the array. if i just call element.count=0, in the main fn, the changes are reflected. why is this? [09:04] wakwe: Try ##python or #ubuntu-offtopic [09:04] Flannel: will do [09:04] hello! [09:04] LostChain: no, they're separate partitions, it's how it's supposed to be [09:04] what's the difference between Hardy and Gutsy? [09:04] you shouldn't have to access ubuntu partition under windows... [09:05] rbo_: Gutsy is 7.10, Hardy is 8.04. Hardy is an LTS, supported for 3 years on the desktop. Gutsy isn't. It's also actually just about to go end of Life. You definately should not be installing Gutsy at this point in time. [09:06] <_StelaNinja_> Hello.. [09:06] should i copy and paste the whole thing? [09:06] marie_blubb, does this help? -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11653 2009-01-05 23:44 smb.conf [09:06] creator-cdsc: evince and epdfview are some of your options [09:06] anyone here with eggdrop experience? [09:06] Flannel: LTS? [09:07] BrixSat, that sounds familiar... is that an irc thing? [09:07] rbo_: Long Term Support. [09:07] Flannel: why is it supported for 3 years? [09:07] <_StelaNinja_> Anyone here who knows how to set the preferences for the new notifications in Jaunty?? [09:07] rbo_: Because it's an LTS release. [09:07] _StelaNinja_: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks. [09:07] Flannel: what's going to happen after 3 years? [09:07] <_StelaNinja_> Thanks.. [09:08] moin [09:08] :nhiasian running 8.10 [09:08] rbo_: well, the server is supported for 5. But, when stuff goes EOL (end of life, at the end of the support term) it's not updated anymore. No more security fixes, etc. Non-LTS versions are only supported for 18 months. [09:08] rbo_: no more security updates [09:08] nhasian yes [09:08] where are the desktop wallapers located in ubuntu? [09:08] shivamib rocks [09:09] later all [09:09] later [09:09] nhasian it is a bot that connect's to irc [09:09] sebsebseb, Flannel: and if i reinstall it, i will have an updates again? [09:09] in 3 years duke nukem forever should be released [09:09] How do I open a .jar file with openjdk? [09:09] rbo_: If you reinstlal what? [09:09] BrixSat, i thought so.... man i havent heard eggdrop since i ran bitchx via telnet like 15 years ago [09:10] eggdrop is da bomb [09:10] Flannel: the new copy of it [09:10] rbo_: Oh, a newer version? Yes. Although most people upgrade instead of reinstalling. [09:10] Flannel: or it doesn't matter as it's term of Hardy? [09:10] nhasian sorry I#M beginner I wanted to use udo chown root:admin /etc/samba/smb.conf and then sudo chmod 664 /etc/samba/smb.conf. and instead of 644 I need a number with less rights [09:10] nhasian wooowwww to many years man [09:11] Flannel: term of life [09:11] rbo_: Hardy will be supported until 2011 (April). 10.04 will come out, and also be an LTS in April of 2010. You can upgrade straight from LTS to LTS, so you can upgrade to 10.04 in a year when it comes out. [09:11] rbo_: by then you'll be using a newer release [09:11] Flannel: ok, i go for Hardy [09:11] rbo_: I would recommend staying with 8.04 [09:11] how can i find out where is the wallpaper directory in ubuntu? [09:11] rbo_: and then doing a clean install for the next LTS [09:11] sebsebseb: i need ec2 version [09:12] k1en: It's... /usr/share/artwork/? /usr/share/ definately. After that its hazy. [09:12] sebsebseb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EC2 [09:12] rbo_: then Ext4 the new file system, should be nice and stable :d. anyway I missed some of your chat [09:12] nhasian: did you want me to copy and paste you the information from putting lspci -v into the terminal? === croppa_ is now known as croppa [09:12] rbo_: Go with Hardy, yes. [09:12] Flannel: tnx [09:12] klen usr/share/backgrounds [09:12] i cant telnet to my bot :( [09:12] Flannel: i'd go for Gentoo, but we don't have a time [09:12] Fitch, no we dont need all the info, just the line that says what chipset your wifi is [09:13] Flannel, thanks backgrounds... [09:13] rbo_: you can always go with debian ;) [09:13] shivamib: we did [09:13] what line am i looking for, for the chipset? [09:13] nhasian: oh its a broadcom BCM4311 [09:13] the command "lshw -C network" might be easier to work with than lspci [09:14] Fitch, good thats what we needed. did you say what OS you were running? [09:14] yeah 8.10 [09:14] in awk [09:15] how can I get $5 and $6 ?? [09:15] with spaces in between them? [09:15] Fitch, just out of curiosity, have you tried the new beta of ubuntu 9.04? just boot off the livecd and see if your wifi works [09:15] like awk {'print $5 $6'}... but with space between them [09:15] I have the driver .inf and tried to apply it that way using ndiswrapper [09:15] is anyone skilled with kvm? I have a problem that a just-installed winxp guest can't find it's disk at boot [09:15] its disk, i mean [09:16] is it the hardwre lister linee? [09:16] no I havent would probably have to downlad it and mount it to install again [09:16] Fitch, since we're only 2-3 weeks away from the next version of ubuntu you might give it a shot. [09:16] in linux, are there any applications available which install a software for you? (like windows installer in windows) (apart from Synaptic packet manager or apt or aptitude) [09:16] Fitch, no you dont need to install it. you just burn it to a blank CD or put it on a thumbdrive and boot directly off the media. [09:16] marie_blubb: 0600 would just be read and write for the user that owns the file [09:17] creator-cdsc: synaptic is apt, and apt is your manager [09:17] i cant seem to install apache, i uncommented all the repos in /etc/apt/sources.list [09:17] yazden, did you find your chipset? [09:17] i am wondering what line to look at [09:17] amigo_rich thanks and what would it be if the owner can read and write and the others just read (thats how it was before [09:17] where do I find the download? only see 8.10 and 8.04 on the site [09:17] hello,i have a question about dedicated server hosting...i have a dedicated server at rackspace , i am veery very pleased with the quality but i cant afford the bill anymore...any other cheaper but reliable solution? [09:18] on the main page there's a huge try 9.04 beta [09:18] yazden, it will says product:something [09:18] oh lol [09:18] marie_blubb: 0644 [09:18] Fitch: not much point bothering with 9.04 Beta for various reasons [09:18] I have a wierd problem with my screen. *Sometimes* on keyboard input the screen goes black. It have been working correctly for years. But suddenly this happens. When I boot to windows I have no problem with this... Any ideas? [09:18] Ill bother with it if it gets my wireless working [09:18] hello,:) [09:18] yazden, like product: PRO/Wireless 4965 or product: RTL8111 [09:18] creator-cdsc: gnome-app-install is another option, all of the above are tied in with dpkg, the central un/install system used in many linux distros [09:19] Fitch: probably not [09:19] Fitch: if it won't work in 8.10 just like that, it probably won't in 9.04 either === Album is now known as Album|Awy [09:19] shivamib: ok, there are a lot of packages which are not available in the repositories, so if i download their source code from the net, are there any applications which would give me a GUI to install the software? [09:19] amigo_rich but I just changed it to 644. the group shouldnt be able to read and write. they can do that at the moment [09:19] whats the command prompt again? [09:19] Fitch, if you have a fast wifi you can download the iso in like 5 mins, burn it in 5 mins, and boot up and test it. worst case scenario you just lost a blankCD and half an hour [09:19] creator-cdsc: you just compile and run [09:20] marie_blubb: what does ls -l show you for the file? [09:20] yeah doing it already worth a shot for sure [09:20] the network controller? [09:20] creator-cdsc: but see if you can find a .deb package, it's usually better [09:20] yazden, yes [09:20] thanks for your help btw [09:21] yazden, also please put my name before each reply to me or i may miss your message. (it auto highlights) [09:21] shivamib: yes i just have to compile and run, but is there any application availabe which would let me just click on a button and do it? for example in windows, you just have to click on the install icon and it does the rest for you [09:21] ralink uknown device 0781 sub system ralink uknown device 2790 [09:21] creator-cdsc: no [09:21] oh while Im here what does the Hardware Drivers applet do? I cant seem to figure out any options for installing drivers, or really doing much with them at all [09:21] yazden, you may have more than one network line. do you have any others? [09:21] creator-cdsc: on windows you're not compiling from source [09:22] Fitch, its for restricted drivers [09:22] creator-cdsc: that's what a debian package would be, more or less [09:22] pci bbridg? [09:22] Fitch, meaning if nvidia, or broadcom or some company provides proprietary drivers that are not open source [09:22] you install it using dpkg -i package.deb [09:23] shivamib: right, you don't get the source, but then what does the install do in windows? [09:23] installs the binary [09:23] so how do you install drivers manage hardware etc? is there an equivalent to the management applets in windows? disk manager device manager etc? [09:23] and messes with registry [09:23] im not to sure what im looking for [09:24] yazden, so you dont flood the channel, why dont you just /msg me the output [09:24] creator-cdsc: but you dont really need to "install" anything [09:24] ok [09:24] creator-cdsc: usually you put those programs on /var/opt/ [09:25] does anyone know how to run Power ISO ? [09:25] Crazyguy, you dont need powerISO in linux [09:25] shivamib: i was thinking of a project idea for the summers, and i started thinking about why people in general don't use linux. they don't want to type in commands, so if there is some GUI for that as well, then it would be useful [09:25] nhasian: what can i use to run FFXI on? [09:25] Crazylink, try gmount-iso [09:25] creator-cdsc: that's what synaptic is about. but once you leave the repositories, you're on your own [09:26] creator-cdsc: and really, the console is your friend [09:26] creator-cdsc: you'll get used to it [09:26] hi, is there a way to install intrepid kernel on Hardy? I only found 2.6.24 as newest kernel. [09:26] Crazylink: what do you want to do? burn an ISO? [09:26] ouch yazden got kicked for flooding me [09:27] abchirk: no not really, and you should just use the kernel that hardy repo has given you [09:27] shivamib: yes, but can something be built which would make it easier for the not-so-familiar-console guy to install applications not availabe in the repositories? [09:27] sebsebseb: no i want to run final Fantasy 11 ISO files from my comp [09:27] Crazylink, you already installed wine right? [09:27] Crazylink: that might not even work in Wine or commercial versons of it [09:27] yes [09:27] creator-cdsc: yes, you build a deb package for that specific app [09:28] and if it's useful it could be integrated to the repository [09:28] Crazylink: and those games are 3D? [09:28] shivamib: oh ok, can you tell me some project idea if you hace a [09:28] sebsebseb: yes [09:28] MMORPG [09:28] shivamib: oh ok, can you tell me some project idea that i could pursue? it should be somethign that would make it easier for a normal person to use linux [09:29] Crazylink, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2739 [09:29] Crazylink: ok I don't think your going to gert much luck with those games in Ubuntu or any other Linux distro, at this stage. ,but apparnatlly Codeweavers Games a commercail version of Wine, will soon have proper Directx10 supopurt [09:29] according to winehq FFXI works great in wine [09:29] thanks i will read this link [09:29] I would imagine FFXI would use DX9 its not that new a game [09:30] creator-cdsc: by 'normal person,' you mean windows user [09:30] raylu: yes [09:30] creator-cdsc: which translates to someone infected with the notion that the mouse is some sort of universal tool for manipulating the computer [09:30] raylu: precisely [09:30] yazden, hey did you get kicked when you messaged me? [09:30] creator-cdsc: if you want windows, use windows. why are you looking to linux for something that duplicates windows? [09:31] creator-cdsc: people that aren't that good at computers, can get on rather nicely with Ubuntu, from help with someone that knows :) ,but yeah it can take 3 weeks [09:31] linux is not that hard. the concepts are different but the make a lot of sense [09:31] *they [09:31] sebsebseb hm but my wlan stick is only supported on newer kernels... [09:31] it's a real operating system [09:31] creator-cdsc, usually you can just download a program (with an .deb extention) right click and install. its really easy [09:32] shivamib: depends what you are gauging as hard [09:32] shivamib: well by the majority of computer users, so is Windows :D [09:32] raylu: i don't want windows, i am happy with linux. the only reason people use windows is that it is easy to use. but it does cost a lot of money. so if you can get a windows type functionality on linux, it would be good [09:32] abchirk: well you could get a later kernel in hardy, but it might be a bit complacted to install, and usauly woudn't be recommended [09:33] creator-cdsc: depends on what the system is for [09:33] creator-cdsc, but you should invest some time in learning how to install programs via synaptic package manager. its very powerful. i dont know why we have add/remove program tool. its like synaptic lite [09:33] creator-cdsc: no. what you're looking for is http://www.reactos.org/en/index.html [09:33] creator-cdsc: if windows suits our needs better than linux, why change [09:33] hm sebsebseb or should I upgrade to intrepid? Is it possible over synaptic? [09:33] nhasian: which in turn is like apt-get/aptitude lite [09:33] abchirk, which os do you have now? [09:33] nhasian hardy [09:33] abchirk: staying with 8.04 has it's advantages, and upgrading to 8.10 dosan't have that much advantages really [09:34] kushiitd:i will be here monitoring! [09:34] nhasian: he is on 8.04, wants a later kernel, so his wireless will apparnatly work [09:34] sebsebseb but my wlan stick. :( [09:34] abchirk: well that's native sure, what about ndiswrapper? [09:34] hello [09:34] abchirk, then yes, you can upgrade to 8.10 or 9.04 when it comes out. go to system/admin/software sources and change the upgrade option [09:34] Abracadabra: hi [09:34] abchirk: you can also get a later kernel in hardy though [09:35] hm sebsebseb sure.. but ndiswrapper... and on my other pc on intrepid its working [09:35] whois kushiitd [09:35] abchirk, go to the updates tab, then change it to say normal releases [09:35] nhasian so only use instead of hardy intrepid there? [09:35] Created DVD from AVI with DeVeDe in the repo's running ubuntu 8.10and the DVD has no sound [09:36] abchirk: well ok upgrade to 8.10. also kind of off topic, but for the optional Ext4 file system, that is an option in 9.04, but had a data loss issue etc. for it's full functioantly peole have to start over, and get rid of Ext3. or do something to Ext3 for limited suppourt [09:36] abchirk, you can upgrade your existing installation by changing the upgrade option in the software sources from LTS to normal releases [09:36] hello sebsebseb [09:36] Abracadabra: what do you want help with?
