[00:01] Hello I am look for jackd version 0.116.x from Hardy repos, how can I upgrade to this version? [00:02] hello evryone [00:02] hi im trying to install ubuntu via wubi, but after i reboot i get a live session [00:02] tnuic: you have a cd in? [00:02] doleyb: no [00:02] The version I have is jackdmp 0.71, but I need jackd version 0.116 is this in repos somewhere built? [00:03] how do you set up kernel level VM on ubuntu 8.10 [00:03] what do you install to use it [00:03] doleyb: i had this same problem last time, but i dont remember how i solved [00:03] tnuic, try booting without hitting any button when it says "Hit any key to boot from cd" or try booting with the harddrive as the first boot option [00:04] KiRiLoS: im not booting from a cd [00:04] KiRiLoS: i installed and then removed the cd from the drive [00:05] tnuic, and then how it's a live session? [00:05] tnuic, in the right upper corner does it says ur username or live session user? [00:05] almark1: jackd 0.116.x is in the jaunty repositories ... are you on ubuntu intrepid ? [00:06] KiRiLoS: thats the big mistery =D ... after i boot it shows me the option to choose the location and then tried to load the gparted [00:06] does anyone know if there is any nfs uid mapping options that work under ubuntu that do not involve setting up NIS? [00:06] can I increase the size of / ? [00:06] KiRiLoS: but gparted doesnt show anything so i cancel it [00:06] good beye [00:06] KiRiLoS: live session user [00:06] corey, yes you can,boot with a live cd and then go to the Partition Editor(Gparted) from there you can [00:06] glitsj16: no Hardy [00:06] corey: sure, use a partition editor (like gparted) [00:06] thanks [00:06] how do you set up kernel level VM on ubuntu 8.10 [00:07] what do you install to use it [00:07] corey: yes, if you got space in front or behind the current / [00:07] can it be done with out a live cd? [00:07] tnuic, are you sure that the install was done?Does the GRUB(boot manager)shows you the distro when u boot up ur pc ? [00:07] glitsj16: would just compiling it be a lot easier than updating with 8.10 repo? [00:08] corey: hardly, as the fs mussn't be mounted at partitioning [00:08] Ok thanks any way [00:08] hi i was remembering a program witch automaticly downloads and installs dependent packages while building software, is anybody know its name ? [00:08] hi [00:08] KiRiLoS: i choose ubuntu over vista at the windows boot loader and then ubuntu loads [00:08] almark1: looks like you're best bet yes [00:09] burak575_: checkinstall ? [00:09] tnuic, lol i gotta say that a weird issue you havin :P [00:09] i would like to know how to install the extra themes for getting the cube effect on ubuntu \ [00:09] maybe i will try it :) [00:09] thanks [00:09] ajay: That is done with compiz [00:09] glitsj16: nod and thanks [00:09] tnuic, you installed through wubi or a regular install? [00:10] almark1: you're welcome [00:10] Stupendoussteve, I have compiz installed but I remember there was the option that you could change in Extra to get the cube effect on [00:10] Stupendoussteve, I just see Extra but not the option to change it [00:10] KiRiLoS: Wubi, i downloaded the iso from ubuntu site and opened it in windows, then chose install in windows [00:10] ajay: The compiz-manager can configure it [00:10] !compiz | ajay [00:10] ajay: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz-fusion [00:11] thanks guys [00:11] wow, that wasn't very helpful. do what Stupendoussteve said. [00:11] burak575_: dpkg-deb -I shows you the deps [00:11] burak575_: if you're going to use checkinstall, you might be interested in reading http://renatoram.wordpress.com/2007/05/03/checkinstall-for-gnome-packets/ to save you some hassle [00:11] KiRiLoS: last time i installed i had the same problem, i just reinstalled and it somehow solved.... this time i tried installing twice and not working [00:11] tnuic, would you mind reinstalling?or getting some1 else to help you out?I just dont know the answer to your problem,sorry :/ [00:12] KiRiLoS: thanks for your time =D ... i'll try reinstalling it again... [00:12] Hi. Can anyone help me with the RaLink2860 WLAN chip? I compiled the module without any errors, but now iwconfig doesn't show any wlan device. [00:12] it was a program like i will say make install like and it auto downloads and installs dependend packages like, while building tux racer it automaticly installs opengl libs with single command [00:12] ajay: er, that is ccsm that configures it [00:12] tnuic, try install wubi program first,google it.Then move the iso to a folder named ubuntu-backup in your c:(So you dont have to donwnload it all over again) [00:12] burak575_: hmm, that doesn't sound like checkinstall [00:13] what was the command to install a deb file with terminal [00:13] tnuic, proceed with the installation and i hope it get's fixed :/ [00:13] burak575_: Sounds like ports, in BSD [00:13] KiRiLoS: i have a cd burned =D [00:13] demmon: sudo dpkg -i file.deb [00:13] oins: modprobe the module [00:14] raylu: did this. and it's loaded (lsmod). But nothing happens. [00:14] hmm i think i found it, it is auto-apt with checkinstall [00:14] i will try it now [00:15] DasEi: thanks cuz i cant install deb files anymore with double cklick they are crushing on me dunno why [00:15] oins: lspci -v will show you the modules used by a device [00:16] can multiple users ssh to the same PC at once ? [00:16] Dreamglider-ssh-: of course [00:16] Dreamglider-ssh- Yes. [00:16] Ok thanks [00:16] what's the default ssh port ? [00:17] 22 === rdw200169 is now known as rdw200169`afk [00:17] I've lost keyboard & mouse on my machine, is there an easy way to run X over ssh (of a currently running program) or to send keystrokes to it (screen is now locked) [00:17] burak575_: the above remark with the link to configure checkinstall still is worthwhile, otherwise it could mess up your gconf db (it's a small config change) [00:17] glitsj16: thanks i will use it ;) === AK is now known as AK_Dave [00:18] raylu: hmm... it's not used. and i can't find my wlan device at the lspci list !? What's wrong. (http://paste.ubuntu.com/145208/) I have a eeePC 1000H. This should have the rt2860 WLAN or not? [00:18] brucealdridge: you can run X over ssh, but that starts a new session [00:19] brucealdridge: you could try setting up a vnc server on that machine [00:19] brucealdridge: or just reboot it from ssh [00:19] raylu: my problem is I was running an upgrade at the time === cry is now known as enzoneri [00:19] oins: wait, was the device listed in lspci before? [00:19] brucealdridge: oh, and you fear it might still be running? [00:19] raylu: yea [00:20] brucealdridge: pgrep -l apt [00:20] raylu: haven't checked this... should i reboot and do a lspci again? [00:20] or unload the module? [00:20] oins: no, it shouldn't make a difference [00:21] raylu: thanks [00:22] raylu: i unloaded the module but no change at lspci http://paste.ubuntu.com/145210/ Where is my wireless device [00:22] oins: not sure. as i said, unloading the module shouldn't make a difference === sniper is now known as Guest9546 [00:23] oins: generally, you install modules based on what lspci shows you. perhaps it's listed in lsusb. lshw may be a last resort === dave__ is now known as AK_Dave [00:23] wot, 10chan is totally kickass! [00:23] hey [00:23] I run synclient and I get the error "SHMConfig disabled?" [00:23] how do I enable it [00:23] http://10chan.org [00:24] Arkenklo: Please keep your links on topic and work safe. [00:24] Good evening [00:24] Hello [00:24] geez, your bots are slow [00:24] How do I change the starting order of Daemons on my system? [00:24] tem brasileiro ai? [00:24] I want to start a network based daemon AFTER network manager [00:24] otherwise it fails every time [00:24] reetfuxor= [00:24] ? [00:25] what kind of word is that? [00:25] raylu: i identified the ra2860 device at windows and tried to install it under linux now. lsusb shows only an Alcor Micro Crop. Device. [00:25] Arkenklo, its actually an old joke from some IRC friends =) [00:25] huh, ok then [00:25] !pt | marcel [00:25] marcel: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [00:25] I figured you were a noob who had misinterpeted a meme [00:25] grr, all of a sudden quanta+ can't connect to ftp [00:26] How can I adjust the scroll speed of my mouse? Seems to jump pretty quickly. [00:26] i wasn't aware it was possible to misinterpret memes [00:27] does anyone know how to get sound working in firefox? [00:27] I am trying to stream video but can't [00:27] has anyone had any success getting the Xbox 360 controller to function normally in Ubuntu? I would like to run Xpadder in Wine and use it to map the keys [00:27] toomuchespresso have you installed gstreamer? [00:28] yes [00:28] When I try to mount a partition I get "mount: No buffer space available". How can I fix this? [00:28] mn: increase the buffer [00:28] arkenklo: How? [00:28] clear [00:29] does sound work the rest of the time? [00:29] Is it possible to add more loop devices? [00:29] yes [00:30] what do you mean by adding loop devices (I'm realtively new to linux) [00:30] i don't think you can do it at runtime though [00:30] i think you have to modify a kernel source file [00:30] I have several hard drive images mounted, but 7 isn;t enough [00:30] I added the repos to a program that has been updated. But when I do "apt-cache show keepassx" there are two versions. Version 0.4 and version 0.3 [00:31] How do I make sure that "sudo apt-get install keepassx" will install version 0.4? [00:31] Suposedly its possible to do at runtime, but I cant find instructions for ubuntu. [00:31] I would like to uninstall jackd but when I type apt-get remove jackd, it wants to uninstall a group a packages I need, how I just uninstall one package? [00:31] Where can I get packs of Icons that work for Ubuntu studio? [00:31] !icons [00:31] Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (GNOME) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE) [00:32] Gobby: http://gnome-look.org [00:32] lenorand: thank you [00:32] almark1: why are those packages being removed? lack of dependency or installed only as a dependency? [00:33] raylu: I don't want them removed that is, I just want one pkg removed, how do I do that? [00:33] StevenX: i believe synaptic has a preferences setting (under the "distribution" tab) to prioritize the highest available version, not sure though [00:33] almark1: again, that depends on why they're being removed [00:33] glitsj16, I am using the command line. Any way to do it through there? Both packages have the name "keepassx". [00:33] almark1: if you could pastebin the output of the remove command, that'd help [00:33] raylu: I will [00:34] !compiz [00:34] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz-fusion [00:34] StevenX: there should be one yes, but i don't know [00:34] Gobby:What u wanting to do === andre is now known as Guest95831 === Guest95831 is now known as thehook [00:34] glitsj16, I did it through Synaptic. You were right. It did prioritize the newest version. [00:35] raylu: http://pastebin.com/d673c72fa [00:35] glitsj16, ty. [00:35] hey nesesito ayuda [00:35] ugliefrog: FIrst of all change some icons. Second of all turn on some of the cool compiz stuff [00:35] coJaBo-Aztec: http://svn.rpmforge.net/svn/trunk/tools/mrepo/docs/loop-devices.txt [00:35] excuse me [00:36] mrsteveman1: Will that work properly on ubuntu tho? [00:36] almark1: those depend on jackd [00:36] it should [00:36] Hey guys, I have my machine unbootable.. with an error code 15 when it enters the bootloader.... what is the recommended procedure for this? [00:37] ofc [00:37] unless they specifically removed the ability to pass a higher number to the kernel when the module loads, or made it compiled in [00:37] raylu: Yeah, they do, but is there a way to just remove one package? And then I'll install or compile a newer jackd? [00:37] StevenX: you might be able to set that in /etc/apt/apt.conf [00:38] epaphus: you have wron UUID or /dev root on menu.lst maybe [00:38] wrong* [00:38] filo1234, is this related to a raid config? [00:38] almark1: hehehe. [00:38] raylu: hehehe hmm.? [00:38] almark1: the proper way to do this is to roll your own deb of jackd [00:38] epaphus: is possible [00:38] almark1: the quick and dirty way is to leave jackd installed and install your own version yourself [00:38] help! my windows keep starting with the titlebars behind the GnomePanel... how can I fix this ??? [00:38] how do I upgrade to ext4 [00:39] filo1234, would an easy fix for this be.. taking one of the hard disks out? [00:39] raylu: Its installed right now [00:39] hmm, if ftp in nautilus broken? [00:39] almark1: ok. leave it that way and compile and install another version over it [00:39] how can you resolve the error "Can't have a partition outside of the disk!" I'm trying to push an image to this drive and its g iving me this error and I'm not sure why. [00:39] is ftp broken rather [00:39] epaphus: find right / directory [00:39] raylu: I can't get it to work because of the old one, I even go to its /usr/local/bin and type ./jackd and still won't work [00:39] filo1234, what do you mean? sorry [00:39] Lenin_Cat you shouldn't really change to ext4 until jaunty [00:40] raylu: no no I have jackd from apt-get and I just compiled a newer one in /usr/local/bin [00:40] almark1: another unrecommended way is to use dpkg to uninstall jackd and force it to ignore depencies [00:40] almark1: but really, you should build your own proper deb of the new jackd [00:40] no matter what I try I get the error that it can't display the location === arrenlex1 is now known as arrenlex [00:40] epaphus: on grub you must to set right / device and must to be same on /etc/fstab [00:41] filo1234, ok so I boot with the live cd? [00:41] epaphus: boot with live cd [00:41] yes [00:41] noodlesgc, I have jaunty [00:41] Lenin_Cat jaunty discussion is in #ubuntu+1 [00:41] filo1234, when you refer to the live cd.. its the same cd as the installation cd.. right? [00:42] i just installed ububtu on a laptop [00:42] epaphus: sure [00:42] LiquidBSD-> hooray [00:42] I get "mount: No buffer space available" when I try to mount a partition from a liveCD. What is the problem? [00:42] raylu: I will take the unrecommended way thanks. How do I do it?\ [00:43] finally figured out a way of recording video, xawtv, then record to mjpeg avi, 25fps, 16bit44100 sound, generates files that kino or ffmeg can deal with [00:43] what a drama though! Took bloody ages to get there [00:43] is universe and multiverse enabled by default on a standard ubuntu installation? [00:43] zcat[1]: Write it up on the wiki! [00:43] pasteeater: For recent versions of Ubuntu, yes. [00:43] have given up any notion of streaming === dave__ is now known as AK_Dave [00:44] installing and configuring ubuntu is surely a heck of a lot easier than installing slackware was in 1997 [00:44] Flannel: thanks. which version did this trend begin? [00:45] I think most of the problem is that the bt878 card produces raw, uncomressed video. if I had a better card I could probably just read an mpeg stream direct from /dev/video [00:45] pasteeater: Feisty? Gutsy? somewhere in there. [00:45] is this a good channel for noob questions? [00:45] somedude33: yes [00:45] tx! === k is now known as Guest2014 [00:46] filo1234, how do I know which partition should be the 1st one.. the bootable one if i dont remeber what was in /etc/fstab? [00:46] Flannel: I have another question today. Not hardware, but software. aMSN will not work. I log on, and it freezes and i must force quit, started two days ago, do i need to reinstall? [00:46] Question - What is the MAX RAM that I can have running Umbuntu 8.10 ? [00:46] mrsteveman1: thanks [00:46] epaphus: are you with cd live? [00:46] btw who is Flannel ? [00:46] my problem: all my windows open up such that their title bars are outside the visual interface of the screen (in other words i have to move the window down in order to see the top of any opened window that is NOT maximized) is there a simple fix for this thanks. [00:46] Flannel: Reinstall aMSN [00:46] how can i launch the "Sound Preference" applet if I don't have it in the menu? [00:46] hell [00:46] o [00:47] PCTeacher012: No idea. Have you checked launchpad for a bug report about it? [00:47] raylu: Haha Rumplestiltzskin, its called checkinstall isn't it? [00:47] filo1234, iam going to boot from the install cd.. not yet.. [00:47] um.. no, ill check now [00:47] Tr0pW3N: 32 or 64 bits? [00:47] is it possible to add seperators to grub menu? [00:47] temp01: Yes [00:47] somedude33: open a terminal and type: gnome-sound-properties [00:47] 32 bit [00:47] #linuxac [00:47] What's the command to find out if I am running 32 or 64 [00:47] epaphus: paste sudo fdisk -l [00:47] tx ! [00:48] Flannel: how? :) [00:48] Flannel: What is the link? [00:48] !launchpad | PCTeacher012 [00:48] PCTeacher012: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [00:48] Troll_Man, uname -a [00:48] I have 2 hard drives; /dev/sda1 (35.84 GiB) and /dev/sdb1 (113.06 GiB) /dev/sda1 has 8.10 installed and /dev/sdb1 has 8.04 installed. What would be the safest way to rid 8.04 and add the extra hdd to /dev/sda1? [00:48] Okay, i didnt know link, even though i hsould, im ON the bug team xD [00:48] filo1234, ok.. and the config where all the stuff i need would be the grub.conf.. right? [00:48] by some pretty sheer idiocy, i clobbered python2.5, so /usr/bin/python2.5 doesn't exist [00:48] almark1: what? === Guest2014 is now known as [ucb]kevin [00:48] <[ucb]kevin> my problem: all my windows open up such that their title bars are outside the visual interface of the screen (in other words i have to move the window down in order to see the top of any opened window that is NOT maximized) is there a simple fix for this thanks. [00:48] and reinstalling it somehow requires it in a way i don't fully understand [00:48] Tr0pW3N: 32bit OSes can address up to 4GB of memory at a time. You'll get around 3.2GB of usable RAM for normal circumstances. If you really, really want more, and can't move to 64bit, you can use PAE, which does a paging type thing to give you more than that total (but still only that much at a time) [00:49] almark1: and which unrecommended way? [00:49] how do i install Java for Ubuntu? Java.com: Linux: Self Extractor? [00:49] hey folks how do I use apt to search for installed packages that have "word" in it? [00:49] !java | PCTeacher012 [00:49] PCTeacher012: 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 [00:49] joshjtl: dpkg -l | grep word [00:49] Okay same like XP..... Cool.... Thanks. [00:49] !partition [00:49] Flannel: ?

[00:50] #linuxac [00:50] temp01: Just have a title line with an empty 'root' line under it. [00:50] epaphus: cannot come here with live cd? [00:50] almark1: no idea [00:50] PCTeacher012, you can install a package via apt-get or aptitude or synaptic.. it's all different fronetends for the same system [00:50] Tr0pW3N: Thats not a windows or linux thing, but a property of the hardware. [00:51] kevin: Oh! XD Well, it should have boT:ubottu (I see bot now :p) well is the multiverse respitory apt-get then? [00:51] filo1234, iam sorry.. what are you asking me? [00:51] marqueed: How are you trying to reinstall it? [00:51] something is odd with my sound. When i use headphones and the volume is up i get this peep (like tinnitus) from time to time. Almost like an old call modem but very vague. Any ideas? [00:51] epaphus: if you can join here by cd live, for paste command [00:51] PCTeacher012: yes, you can access the multiverse repository with apt-get [00:51] kk, thnx :) [00:52] Yup.... Thank You Flannel..... [00:52] Flannel: aptitude reinstall, error in postinst [00:52] PCTeacher012, I'd highly reccomend 'sudo apt-get ubuntu-restricted-extras' -- that installs flash, java, lots of codecs, ms core fonts.. and a few other things all in one go. [00:52] Flannel: not possible to get a blank line or '------' type of separator? [00:52] tried building the source package and installing in /usr/local, but i'm still having issues [00:52] temp01: Just put ------ as the title. [00:52] filo1234, ohh no, i cannot... iam just oritentating myself of aprox what it would take to reinstall the grub boot loader rather then trying to find out where the error is and fixing it .. [00:52] Flannel: blank wont work? [00:52] sudo: update-java-alternatives: command not found. How do i know? [00:52] filo1234, this ia remote machine so the guys are getting their stuff together [00:52] PCTeacher012, sorry; 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' [00:52] temp01: It may. [00:53] Flannel: ok thanks :) [00:53] raylu: I googled install a compiled package with deb so it returned a program called checkinstall, from apt-get it was small [00:53] Flannel: now my problem is http://paste.ubuntu.com/145215/ [00:53] zcat: Thanks [00:53] epaphus: i can't aid you without see output command ;) [00:54] zcat: That installs ALOT :p [00:54] Hey well i have a problem - I installed Ubuntu - But I forgot to install Grub, So now when I turn on my computer, Grub loads, Says "error 18" and then just sits there. I'm running off a Live CD at the moment, what can I do to fix Grub? [00:54] ubuntu-restricted-extras is a convenient metapackage for people who don't really want to figure things out and just want everything to damn-well work! [00:54] marqueed: that's odd. apt-get doesn't depend on python. [00:54] filo1234, lets just suppose for a minute I prefer reinstalling the grub bootloader from scratch with the CD.. i would have to give it the mount points.. how would I Know them? [00:55] Yes, it does install a lot ;) [00:55] zcat: LOL, thats me (right now) later, when i get everything, im going to get deeper into linux, i was frikin smart at windows, not i feel like a retard :P === PCTeacher012 is now known as WindowsTeacher-U === WindowsTeacher-U is now known as PCTeacher-Ubuntu [00:55] Flannel: i may have inadvertently worsened the problem by attempting to fix it [00:56] epaphus: so use supergrubdisk, it repair grub automatically === PCTeacher-Ubuntu is now known as UbutnuStudent [00:56] there :P [00:56] did you mean UbunutStudent perhaps?

I just got a WD Raptor 10000rpm drive and want to migrate windows onto the drive. Will Grub know where the new OS is located? [01:00] does any know how to get Visualizations on Amarok [01:00] pumpkinseed, nope. [01:00] why when i try to edit a file in /etc i get that i dont have permissions, except i am the only account [01:00] pumpkinseed, there's an example entry in grub.conf though, just uncomment it and adjust it as required [01:00] zcat[1]: Thanks [01:01] does any know how to get Visualizations on Amarok [01:01] Jay555, sudo nano /etc/foo [01:01] does any know how to get Visualizations on Amarok [01:01] filo1234, nice.. that link is extremely helpful.. i appreciate it!!! what is the difference between the live cd or the install cd? [01:01] i need to run that every time i try to edit a /etc file [01:01] Jay555, or alt-F2, gksu gedit /etc/foo if you prefer a gui editor [01:01] does any know how to get Visualizations on Amarok [01:01] zcat[1]: Where is grub.conf located under Ubuntu? (better yet, how does one search for files under the command line in linux?) [01:01] Hey i asked this question before but no one answered : Well i have a problem - I installed Ubuntu - But I forgot to install Grub, So now when I turn on my computer, Grub loads, Says "error 18" and then just sits there. I'm running off a Live CD at the moment, what can I do to fix Grub? [01:01] Flannel: the python dependency in marqueed's situation stems from packagekit, python-packagekit is only in jaunty it seems .. don't know if that means anything relevant though [01:01] does any know how to get Visualizations on Amarok [01:02] pumpkinseed, 'locate grub.conf' [01:02] Hi Jay555, its PCTeacher012 [01:02] does any know how to get Visualizations on Amarok [01:02] zcat[1]: Super. Thanks [01:02] Manny2218: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [01:02] glitsj16: i think i've fixed it (i'm on jaunty, yeah) [01:02] zcat[1], pumpkinseed: in Ubuntu we use menu.lst not grub.conf (theyre the same thing) [01:02] !repeat > brandon_ [01:02] does any know how to get Visualizations on Amarok [01:02] brandon_, please see my private message [01:02] epaphus: nothing difference.... there is only one difference between live cd and alternate cd [01:02] hey pctacher12 [01:02] marqueed: nice, one less thing [01:02] marqueed: ah. You should ask in #ubuntu+1 then. they'll know more. [01:02] pumpkinseed, except I just realised I mean menu.list!! [01:02] Jay555: Did it work? [01:02] the problem was pretty much version-agnostic, i think [01:03] menu.lst, bugger it. Trying to do too many things at once [01:03] ubuntustudent: o i just said screw it, now im 100% ubuntu. [01:03] i had to install 2.5 from source, and then set those binaries and library prefixes in place of what apt expects, and then reinstall from there [01:03] Jay555: Hope it works out! Family fine with it? [01:03] epaphus: live cd run on ram, and you can use it like a normal desktop install [01:03] Jay555, I did that YEARS ago.. except it was 100% slackware back then [01:04] ubuntustudent: yeah they better be. my mom just needed to use it occasionally because she doesn't have her own computer. but shell learn to live with it [01:04] But i already had windows Installed, i forgot to set up Grub during the Ubuntu installation. Now when i turn my computer on, Grub just says "error 18" [01:04] Lol, my bro has to :p [01:04] whos a genius with hard drive partitions? I dont understand something with linux here. I was trying to push an image to a 40gb drive and it errored out and said "Can't have partition outside the disk!" I booted to GParted and the disk was unallocated. So I thought, hmm, maybe if I create a new partition? So I went to create a new partition and I got a warning "Doing this will erase all of the data on the disk." I hit create. But afte [01:04] r I hit create, the disk was still 100% unallocated. If I hit "new" again, THEN I could choose the type of partition. I chose not to and rebooted and now my image works fine. [01:04] What is it about that message I got in gparted to create a new partition when it was still 100% unallocated that suddenly made the disk work?? [01:04] my mom dont use it, my dad uses sisters laptop, and both sisters hav laptop, so bro will have to learn :p @Jay555 [01:04] does any know how to put Visualizations on Amarok [01:05] ubuntustudent: haha, u got a big family! yeah but my wireless card isnt supported :( so i have to plug it in [01:05] Roasted: the "Doing this will erase all of the data on the disk" message comes up when you're making a new partition table / label, not a new partition. [01:05] and all my jacks are phone [01:05] so i have to plug into router...... [01:05] rww - Do you know how the hard drive erased the partition table? [01:05] does any know how to put Visualizations on Amarok [01:06] rww - I really don't understand how it got like that cause it was just a spare one sitting on my shelf. [01:06] does any know how to put Visualizations on Amarok [01:06] Jay555: Ya, i do :p and that sucks, i have desktop computer, so it works (not with vista though :p) and when i but new laptop ($5000 <_<) i HIPOPE Ubuntu supportrs it [01:06] does any know how to put Visualizations on Amarok [01:06] Roasted: I assume that when you tried to push an image onto it, you overwrote the old one. [01:06] does any know how to put Visualizations on Amarok [01:06] I got really lucky with wireless.. I have a pc card and a USB adapter that boot work right off the CD, and built in wireless in the laptop that only needed a checkbox to get working [01:06] *both [01:06] Somehting is wrong with ubuntu. All the screens + Panels flash away then back [01:06] brandon_: Don't repeat, probably no one does know... [01:06] !repeat | brandon_ [01:07] brandon_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

Also see !patience [01:07] ubuntustudent: for 5 grand, id just buy a macbook pro. that should be good enough for gaming [01:07] maybe because im installing that large package? [01:07] does any know how to put Visualizations on Amarok [01:07] rww - when you install say, windows XP, does it create a partition table + partition when you install it? Is the same true with Ubuntu? Maybe that's why I never ran into it before. [01:07] ubuntustudent: then again i know nothing of the pc gaming world [01:07] Roasted: yes, they do [01:07] does any know how to put Visualizations on Amarok [01:07] Jay555: Mac sadly doesnt support windows games :( So that is why i am forced to get it [01:07] Roasted, windows just hides a lot of the technical stuff; under the hood it's doing a lot of the same things [01:08] ubuntustudent: o silly me. yes that sux. just buy a 360! what games do u play anyway? (and mac got cod!) [01:09] hmm, that makes sense. I didn't realize there was a partition TABLE that was created before the partition. I thought maybe that was tacked in WITH the actual partition itself. But, ahh, I know what to look for now! [01:09] the ubuntu server version has some sort of setting to keep it from upgrading the kernel, how do I get past this? [01:09] zcat: I do not remember, must i restart Epiphany Web Browser to make java work in it? [01:09] Jay555: No, i own PS3 :p and i play games such as: CoD, Brother in arms, Resistance Fall of Man, Fallout 3, and Killzone2 (we should probably take his to private chat lol) === k is now known as nivenaya [01:09] there's an MBR, partition table, partition boot records, filesystem.. windows (and the ubuntu installer, for the most part) hide all the messy details and just make it work for you [01:10] ubuntustudent: o 360 pwns. but ps3 has killzone i guess, i gtg eat dinner now tho. but i might bbk later [01:10] Roasted: Glad I could help :) [01:10] kk, Ps3 is better :p @Jay555 [01:10] hell no. and bye.

[01:48] UbuntuStudent: I just typed into their searchbar riva tnt2 and got a list of links and choose the second or third that had nvidia in the name.. [01:48] scunizi: That surely is it. Thanks a ton [01:48] eseven73: even encrypted streams? [01:48] Matson: I'm not aware of any way to do it. but if you did do it, I strongly suggest either completely disabling sshd login via passwords, or disconnecting from the Internet. with no password rejection delay, intruders can brute-force their way into your machine before long. [01:48] eseven73, it just began suddenly, today [01:48] crdlb: never knew about that lol [01:48] UbuntuStudent: np.. remember installing that is different.. uninstall all nvidia references from synaptic package manager and then go to a TTY and shutdown GDM.. THEN install the drivers. [01:49] Gobby:What u wanting to do [01:49] noae, not sure about encrypted [01:49] scunizi: Shutdown GDM?

[01:52] UbuntuStudent: yes.. every reference that is installed. [01:52] Gobby:working now [01:52] noae: the program you are trying to run and a pastebin of your terminal session might make it more likely someone can spot the issue [01:52] scunizi: Every refernce to nVidia? and what about: xserver-xorg-vido-nv, smartdimmer, and jokeygtk? [01:52] scunizi, Or just ~/Desktop [01:52] <_mnemonic76> glitsj16: Actually, I just checked the release notes and 2.4.4 is the one i need! [01:52] ~ FTW [01:53] even for the tag to get openoffice?? [01:53] jrib: the program disappears [01:53] UbuntuStudent: xserver-bla-nv .. ending in nv is not nvidia direct but a generic driver.. not that one. [01:53] apt-get install openoffice.org doesnt work << [01:53] okay [01:53] niether of the other 2? [01:53] UbuntuStudent: just stuff that says Nvidia.. [01:53] _mnemonic76: http://philip.magicalforest.se/ is a ubuntu repo that has 2.4.4 (instructions on how to add the repo and gpg key are all on that page) ... might improve some, doesn't hurt to try i suppose [01:53] okay, done then [01:53] UbuntuStudent: jokeyjtk leave it [01:53] jrib: I have to download it again before i use it [01:53] <_mnemonic76> glitsj16: Wow, thanks! I will surely try that! [01:53] UbuntuStudent: smartdimmer leave that too. [01:54] okay [01:54] scunizi: How do i run it? sh (file).run? [01:54] UbuntuStudent: did you download the file to the desktop? [01:54] _mnemonic76: very welcome, hope you get things working [01:54] scunizi: yes [01:55] I want to ask about something which related to translating in ubuntu [01:55] so i wrote this down: [01:55] I am having some issues with my ati graphics card. Using the ubuntu drives some types of video don't display at all. Using the ati catalyst center I cannot get dual monitor displays working and the video files which previously did not show up are now garbled or log me out when I play them [01:56] UbuntuStudent: you ready to copy? here's the rundown.. ctrl+alt+F2 and login.. now .. sudo apt-get install build-essential .. cd ~/Desktop [01:56] UbuntuStudent: wait! [01:56] CTRL+ALT+F2 --> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop --> cd /home//desktop --> sh Nvidia-linux-x86-781.86.09-pkg1.run [01:56] scunizi: yes? [01:56] 71* [01:56] <[ucb]kevin> my problem: all my windows open up such that their title bars are outside the visual interface of the screen (in other words i have to move the window down in order to see the top of any opened window that is NOT maximized) is there a simple fix for this thanks. [01:56] UbuntuStudent: /Desktop. filenames are case sensitive [01:56] UbuntuStudent.. that would be sudo sh Nvidia-yada.. if it won't run then chang it's permissions. [01:57] [ucb]kevin: no, please file a bug on www.launchpad.net [01:57] alex-weej: thanks [01:57] has anyone have been experiencing issues with vmware and compcache module? [01:57] scunizi: change permissions how? [01:57] UbuntuStudent: to change the permissions sudo chmod 777 [01:57] _mnemonic76: adding that repo might mark other packages as "upgradeable", if you only want gphoto related packages, you can always download those from the pool and install the .debs manually (forgot to mention that) [01:57] hi all [01:57] anyone: when I disable wireless networks in gnome and reenable them, the available wireless networks are not shown until I select any in "connet to hidden" [01:57] UbuntuStudent: or sudo chmod +x [01:57] kk, dnoe [01:57] anything else? [01:57] <_mnemonic76> glitsj16: Great, thanks! [01:57] I need a hand, I'm trying to install Adobe Flash Player 10, when I run it just as my user, it says to ask my admisitrator to delete xpti.dat, which I can't find. If I sudo it, it says to enter the installation path of the browser... I put /usr/lib/mozilla and it says "Please enter a valid installation path." [01:58] UbuntuStudent: incase you get stuck do you want a way to talk here while at terminal? [01:58] UbuntuStudent: gah, use the package [01:58] scunizi: Yes plz [01:58] could anyone help me with the vanishing .jar program problem? [01:58] crdlb: How? Do i need to do all this? and is it safe? :) [01:58] UbuntuStudent: not remotely :) [01:58] UbuntuStudent: ok.. go to Applications/Accessories/terminal and when there then .. sudo apt-get install irssi screen [01:58] UbuntuStudent: first of all, did you look in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? [01:59] I need a computer, or ill die (a bit exreme :P) [01:59] crdlb: no [01:59] ill look [01:59] crdlb: good thought for UbuntuStudent [01:59] anyone had any luck getting a realtek 8185 wireless pci card working on 8.04 [01:59] ? [01:59] without using ndiswrapper [02:00] scunizi: Error when installing the thing: Could not get lock /var/liv/dpkg/lock [02:00] UbuntuStudent: you have synaptic open? [02:00] Oh, yers [02:00] tes lol [02:00] havnt removed yet [02:00] dont know if not, or a bit l8r [02:01] UbuntuStudent: was there anything in System/Admin/Hardware drivers? or did we uninstall all that stuff. [02:01] and in System --> Hardware Drivers it says: No propretart derive are in use on this system. === Tetracomm is now known as heavybeetle [02:01] scunizi: Not uninstalled yet, waiting till u say to [02:01] UbuntuStudent: and there are no available choices? [02:01] hello, my audio is lagging after about an hour runtime, it also always involves some level of video Dvd, macromedia flash. The video also lags heavily and sound also cuts in and out could someone please help? [02:01] crdlb: Nope [02:02] UbuntuStudent: just in case.. open synaptic again and search for nvidia.. see if there is a driver listed that matches what you downloaded or has the description naming the riva tnt [02:02] does anyone know JonDo? [02:02] UbuntuStudent: is nvidia-71-modaliases installed? [02:02] crdlb: Yes === Jay is now known as Guest18008 [02:02] UbuntuStudent: then I guess you can 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-71' manually [02:03] also after it starts doing this with a video it will do with any other sound system login rhythmbox etc. [02:03] scunnzi: No riva tnt [02:03] crdlb: Use Terminal? Or the way scunizi is saying? [02:03] Anyway to get acceleration working on an ati rage128 ultra on 8.04? [02:03] UbuntuStudent: it doesn't matter, as long as you install the package [02:03] THornsby: probably not [02:03] UbuntuStudent: it won't say it specifically unless you're looking in the description.. I'll look in mine [02:03] k. thx [02:04] I'm trying to install Adobe Flash Player 10, when I run it just as my user, it says to ask my administrator to delete xpti.dat, which I can't find. If I sudo it, it says to enter the installation path of the browser... I put /usr/lib/mozilla and it says "Please enter a valid installation path." [02:04] crdlb: i thnk ill do it the Terminal way, it is 100% safe correct? [02:04] does anyone know the JonDo? [02:04] scunizi: Okay, thnx [02:04] any recommendations for a media player? [02:04] <_mnemonic76> glitsj16: Well, maybe it is no good for me... I am running Hardy and the packages on that site are for intrepid... is there some way to make them work? When I try to install Package Installer says: ERROR dependency is not satisfyable. [02:04] hello, my audio is lagging after about an hour runtime, it also always involves some level of video Dvd, macromedia flash. The video also lags heavily and sound also cuts in and out could someone please help? [02:04] also after it starts doing this with a video it will do with any other sound system login rhythmbox etc. [02:04] UbuntuStudent: it can always be undone, and even if it fails, the failsafe GUI will kick in [02:04] crdlb: can UbuntuStudent install nvidia-glx-71 to work? [02:05] scunizi: yes [02:06] <[ucb]kevin> i mistakenly reslized the font in a terminal (xterm) window -- how did i do that?? that was AWESOME!!! [02:06] UbuntuStudent: crdlb has a good idea.. in synaptic pk mgr there is nvidia-glx-71.. install that.. it's for the tnt & tnt 2 among others. Once installed you might have to activate it in System/Admin/Hardwar Deivers. [02:06] Is there any way to deactivate the trackpad mouse while you are using an usb mouse? [02:06] scunizi: okay thanks [02:06] [ucb]kevin: ctrl-click [02:06] [ucb]kevin: and hold [02:06] coding: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-71? [02:06] UbuntuStudent: if that doesn't work then installing the ones from Nvidia is last resort. [02:06] Loganhoup: sounds like flash blocks pulseaudio, several people have experienced that ... you might want to go over instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 [02:06] UbuntuStudent: yes.. [02:07] thank you [02:07] scunizi: Okay to both [02:07] close everything? [02:07] UbuntuStudent: yep [02:07] <[ucb]kevin> zash: does nothing :( [02:07] THornsby: well, here on jaunty (and undoubtedly hardy too), there is a r128 kernel module -- I don't know how well it works though [02:07] [ucb]kevin: hold control and mousebtn 1 [02:07] I was thinking of mach64 [02:07] scunizi: Closing now [02:07] UbuntuStudent: close when done.. check the hardware drivers location in the menu and see if the driver needs activation [02:07] close during installation? [02:08] no [02:08] [ucb]kevin: oh, its mousebtn 3, aka right click [02:08] UbuntuStudent: what are you thinking of closing after the install is done? [02:08] scunizi: I dont know, close now? Or after? [02:08] I am having trouble with jaunty beta, pidgin will not minimize to indicator applet no matter what I do [02:08] <[ucb]kevin> zash, i tried left, right nad "middle" click while holding control..no resize happens [02:08] UbuntuStudent: close what? [02:08] Chatbox [02:08] everything [02:08] ?* [02:08] crdlib: I'm using it, but can't get desktop effects or any other hardware acceleration related stuff working [02:09] If i open it, it shows up in indicator applets list, but if I minimize it goes to taskbar and if I close it.. well closes [02:09] anyone know how to fix? === virk is now known as virk|sleep [02:09] UbuntuStudent: no .. after install look in System/Admin/Hardware Drivers and see if the driver is listed there.. if so put a check mark next to it.. and it will probably ask you to restart the machine [02:09] [ucb]kevin: rightclick and hold down the mousebtn [02:09] okay, starting install [02:10] greetings [02:10] I have a problem. I got a router but my two Ubuntu boxes aren't able to resolve any of my local machine's host names. But the windows machines have no problem. Any idea what I've messed up? [02:10] [ucb]kevin: or what did you want to resize? [02:10] what exactly will this update do? [02:10] I have some ttf fonts I want to use, non-standard, where do I drop them? [02:10] <[ucb]kevin> zash: the txt w/in the terminal window [02:10] ! glibc [02:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about glibc [02:11] Is there a Ubuntu security channel or would anyone here mind me bouncing some questions of them? [02:11] anyone know what the current version of glibc in intrepid is? [02:11] UbuntuStudent: you're actually installing the nvidia driver that is appropriate for your card.. since it's an older card Ubuntu has the driver available without going to nvidia. :) [02:11] wstraus: just ask here - ya takes ya chances though - it's very busy these days [02:11] <[ucb]kevin> zash: oh well -- it woulda been cool to do thanks for trying [02:11] scunizi: Thank you :D I've been looking to update forever lol, it is doing finishing stpes [02:11] THornsby: what does glxinfo | grep renderer say?

[02:13] Confuz: check out the network howto [02:13] scunizi: Should i make nVidia my main x Server? [02:13] Ibeekman: Yes [02:13] UbuntuStudent: restart your machine and see if someting shows.. it will kick you off IRC but easy enough to get back on. .. ibeekman yes.. older -71 driver for Riva tnt [02:13] scunizi: Rebooting brb [02:13] UbuntuStudent: k [02:14] I'm trying to install Adobe Flash Player 10, when I run it just as my user, it says to ask my administrator to delete xpti.dat, which I can't find.

[02:34] i have been waiting for 2 hours in the past and no replys [02:34] Big Question. Is it possible to search the archives of these groups for information. [02:34] Ropechoborra: I know, from many years of windows expiernce ( I studied malware basically) and thing is, Linux just has lest security holes then windows, Yah, a firewall helps (why i use one) but not 100% required [02:34] ! ask [02:34] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:34] Krine11: I'll give it a shot [02:35] alex_, You have nothing to worry about viruses or keyloggers but i do recommend you to install a good firewall. Look for " Iptables " [02:35] no promises though [02:35] Gobby: I used to like deluge earlier, now i prefer transmission, bittorrent is the plain vanilla client with no extra features and a very basic interface [02:35] ok [02:35] I'm trying to connect one computer running ubuntu to another running ubuntu using a wired network and a LAN card [02:35] I have a problem: when I bookmark a webpage in ubuntu it saves, but after I restart the page is gone from the bookmarks, how can I fix this? this happens in Firefox [02:35] Gobby: i won't recomment bittorrent, transmission is better [02:35] Ropechoborra: I use Firestarter as my fireall [02:35] best bitorrent client?

Another user in my household suggested bittorrent because of its simple interface, thank you for your help! [02:36] .. [02:36] Hi [02:36] gek_onthe: i think it's a tie between deluge & transmission! [02:36] alex_: I tried using firestarter but didn't like it, I just edit /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny [02:36] for my firewall needs [02:37] thanks [02:37] ibeekman: Ya, firestaret aint best, but i still use it :p [02:37] !ufw [02:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw [02:37] Gobby: resuming interrupted download with bittorrent is a pain! === UbuntuStudent is now known as PCTeacher012 [02:37] !info ufw [02:37] ufw (source: ufw): program for managing a netfilter firewall.

[02:39] I have a newbie question, would MSN actually work on Xubuntu? or is there another equivalent [02:39] ibeekman: yes. The second one was previously connected to a seperate network that it worked fine on, but I am having difficulties setting up the network between the two PCs [02:40] alex: No [02:40] I like transmission [02:40] alex_: But, i use aMSN [02:40] more votes [02:40] alex_: Pretty dang close [02:40] can anyone help me with VirtualBox? [02:40] bruce89, anything I can do? [02:40] Hello [02:40] alex_: there's an equivalent called aMSN and also emesene [02:40] alevine: try xfix in the recovery mode menu thing [02:40] Confuz: So first off you will need a cross-over cable [02:40] Thankyou :) [02:40] bruce89, heh, that doesnt work [02:40] which is different than a standard ethernet cable [02:40] I have a CAT5 connecting the two [02:40] alex_: YW [02:40] oh [02:41] alex_: why do you want advert laden nonsense? [02:41] tuxFan: yeah, transmission rocks! i believe it's got one of the coolest icons ever! [02:41] I will install transmission .i test [02:41] is there a way to play wmal mp3s in linux? [02:41] bruce89: Only WLM is llike that, aMSN has none :D [02:41] yes [02:41] bruce89: lol! [02:41] alevine: try and find out exactly what's wrong, and also #ubuntu+1 is allegedly the place for this [02:41] I just switched from Windows and used MSN very often [02:41] alex_, there is aMSN [02:41] same here lol, switched from windows a while ago htough [02:41] racecar56: what is it? [02:42] Understood, thankyou :) [02:42] YixilTesiphon you have to get the codecs [02:42] PCTeacher012: I don't understand why people want MSN only programs though [02:42] YixilTesiphon: u mean .wma files? [02:42] pidgin? [02:42] i guess to view cams? === ASrock is now known as haxila [02:42] thecommutist: no, they are mp3 files, but VLC gives a WMAL error [02:42] tuxFan, amsn pwns pidgin with msn [02:42] Can anyone give me some suggestions on why my remote desktop isn't working? I can ping other machines, but RD just gives a black window and never asks for a password...? [02:42] whats the difference between the CAT5 and a crossover cable? [02:42] That is the only reason why i would use msn only [02:42] bruce89: I use it because Pidgin can not transfer files (my contacts cant send to me) and i cant see WLM custom smileys from friends [02:42] Hello anyone out there willing to help me troubleshoot an issue I'm having? I migrated from Ubuntu to Xubuntu for the faster speeds and Now an application that was previously set to autostart, is still automatically starting and I want it to stop. Any ideas?

A normal cat5 preserves 1:1 mapping if you will, whereas with a crossover cable at least 1 wire enters in one position and is connected to a different position on the other side [02:44] any open source emulators that can boot off SATA hard drives? [02:44] racecar56: emulators of what? [02:44] racecar56: It is causing some adverse effects for me as the application is starting before I can mount the drives that it needs to use as resources so it is causing major problems [02:44] bruce89: oh, well, i use them all the time (theirs, i steal em haha) and since Pidgin cant see them, i cant use them [02:44] xubuntu it is better than ubuntu [02:44] Hi, does ubuntu need a firewall, antivirus, antispyware if i use stuff like frostwire [02:45] ibeekman: but do they connect in the same port? [02:45] just reinstall amsn if you are in jaunty [02:45] Confuz: I have no idea how to splice one but if you google for it you should get instructions or just buy one (for far too much money) at a store like best buy [02:45] gek_onthe: I use ubuntu and love it, it is more of a chouce [02:45] tuxFan: Im using Intrepid lol [02:45] PCTeacher012: I'd rather have just good old plain text, but this is for -offtopic [02:45] the_engineer: go to System>Preferences>Sessions>Startup Programs [02:45] bruce89, you know like vbox just it can boot off of real SATA drives [02:45] bruce89, virtual machine [02:46] i am using both,but xubuntu is better [02:46] AFAIK, that doesn't make sense [02:46] i don't like xubuntu [02:46] it dosent like wine :( [02:46] i like it [02:46] what is : Tcl/Tk 8.4 ? it says need it to instal aMSN [02:46] Quick question. How is PCMCIA support in Ubuntu? I have one that I've never used. Looking for a new wireless card but don't want to make the plunge until I find out [02:46] gek_onthe: That is a choice, Xubuntu would not install for me lol [02:46] racecar56: that also makes no sense [02:46] TheFunkbomb: what's your wireless card? [02:46] bruce89, it always seemed what wine had weird problems with the menus in XFCE [02:46] alex_: it's a scripting language [02:46] there seem to be at least workarounds for most anything online [02:46] The Comunist I have been able to find "Settings>SettingsManager>Autostarted Apps" But not "System>Preferences" As I don't use the Ubuntu GUI anymore i'm using XFCE from Xubuntu [02:46] it is you opion ... [02:46] YixilTesiphon, I don't have one yet. I'm looking for an Atheros chipset. [02:47] Confuz: so if you make your own ethernet cables you have some spool of cat5 wire and then you cut it and crimp on the plastic parts that connect to the jack. The only difference between a crossover cable and a normal cable is the way the wire is spliced into the plastic end pieces: both types of wire will plug into ethernet jacks and look essentially the same. [02:47] xubuntu is better [02:47] racecar56: I see [02:47] TheFunkbomb: just completed an install today with an Atheros 242x [02:47] with jaunty [02:47] Unfortunatley, it is not in the "Autostarted apps" List [02:47] !opinion | gek_onthe [02:47] gek_onthe: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[02:49] Confuz: If you want to connect two machines, be they windows boxes, ubuntu boxes, xboxes, directly without a switch/hub/router you need a crossover cable.

[03:10] the_engineer: now this might sound extreme, but is it possible for u to uninstall transmission, reboot the machine and then install it again, might work [03:10] Surely if I could mount it last night, it should be fine after a restart? [03:11] mattycoze: what sort of thing [03:11] the_engineer: what's the issue with Transmission? [03:11] i like deluge better than transmission! [03:11] the commutist: its not out of the question, and something i'd thought about but the folks over in #transmission tell me that it has no autostart function in and of itself so I wanted to track down whatever call was making it autostart [03:12] mneptok: it is autostarting and I need it to wait to startup until i tell it to [03:12] does ubuntu have a phone number for support? [03:12] the_engineer: it is probably autostarting from your session in that case ? [03:12] How do I automatically add ipv6 default gateway + ipv6 ips? [03:12] what command can I use to join several .ts files into one? [03:12] the_engineer: ls -Rla /etc/init.d | grep ansmiss [03:13] Krine11: you prolly have to ay for that kind of thing [03:13] oh [03:13] heh [03:13] * mneptok used to answer that phone :) [03:13] the_engineer: check this (pasted from xfce wiki faq) - http://paste.ubuntu.com/145242/ [03:13] I am seemingly unable to mount a lvm logical volume, which I can plainly see using "sudo lvdisplay" I partitioned it as ext3 but now cannot mount it... what may have happened? [03:14] mneptok: okay, if I understand that command it will search in /etc/init.d for any entry containing 'ansmiss' correct? [03:14] I'm having a problem using tightvnc on ubuntu. The screen keeps flickering between a "blocky" appearence and a normal one [03:14] alex_: are all disks that are volume members present in the machine? [03:14] yeah [03:14] just one disk atm [03:14] the_engineer: quite right. is init starting Transmission? [03:14] something is, i'm not sure what -.- [03:15] any one know? [03:15] the_engineer: that command should help answer that question [03:15] any open source virtual machine emulators that can boot off SATA hard drives? vbox can't do it, qemu dosen't seem to work right [03:15] how do I do the equivilant of 'rpm -qa' on ubuntu? ie. a simple command to list all installed packages [03:15] glitsj16: can you elaborate on the 'session' autostart idea at all, I think it might be related to this [03:15] !repeat | racecar56 [03:15] racecar56: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [03:15] mneptok: I'll run that now [03:15] -.- [03:16] racecar spelled backwards is racecar [03:16] prove it [03:16] elninja: pay me [03:16] what command can I use to join several .ts files into one? [03:17] zombie-robo1: cat ts1 ts2 ts3 ts4 > tsall [03:17] how do I merge a bunch of folders [03:17] what is the difference betweek Kububtu and Ubuntu [03:17] !kde [03:17] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [03:17] Spence_: a K [03:17] lol [03:17] how the heck do i unsubscribe from the ubuntu Bug mailing list? [03:17] -.- hardy har har [03:17] Does Airlink make a good wireless card? [03:18] PCTeacher012: un-join the associated LP group [03:18] click the link in the email, go to the website and choose "unsubscribe" [03:18] how do i rename a directory from the command line? [03:18] pyrak "mv" [03:18] pyrak: mv dir newdir [03:18] PCTeacher012: how on earth did you subscribe in the first place? [03:18] mneptok: I cant find it anywhere, i want to stay in the bug group, but not get the emails [03:18] tyty [03:18] PCTeacher012: set those prefs on LP [03:18] bruce89: I subscribed <_< I didnt know it would send me 1000 emails again [03:18] mneptok: the command line looked like this "****@*****Duck:/etc$ ls -Rla /etc/init.d | grep ansmiss" and it just retuned to the next line with no errors or details when I entered it [03:19] 6more. quick, mneptok: I dont see settings [03:19] last time... any reason I can't mount a LVM volume? I get a "ext3 fs not found" or similar error... [03:19] the_engineer: then there is nothing obviously named "transmission" in init.d but that does not mean init is not starting Transmission [03:19] Spence_ did that answer your question? [03:19] the_engineer: try "sudo dpkg -R transmission" [03:20] the_engineer: that should get you the sane defaults [03:20] they arent two different operating systems? [03:20] no [03:20] or "sudo dpkg --reconfigure transmission" [03:20] they just have different faceplates [03:20] well, it's a little deeper than that [03:20] Spence_: same thing, different packages installed by defaul [03:20] but it's similiar [03:20] oh [03:20] google GNOME and KDE [03:21] kk [03:21] timClicks3: ++ for the all-caps GNOME ;) [03:21] still dont have an answer where the unsubscribe button is [03:21] lol [03:21] they are known as window managers [03:21] mneptok: dpkg will not reinstall a newer version if avaialable will it? I cannot upgrade to the newest yet. I assume apt-get is the only command that can do that but i'm not sure [03:21] mneptok: hmm? [03:22] Whats the command to re-do x server?..i think it starts with (sudo dpkg --reconfigure) but i forgot the rest. [03:22] the_engineer: "dpkg --reconfigure" installs nothing [03:22] bruce89: hmm hmm? [03:22] (itGNOME [03:22] (it's GNOME, not Gnome) [03:22] timClicks3: quite right [03:22] thecommutist: your link has some good info in it too. I am looking into this as a possible fix as well. [03:22] mneptok: there's some debate about that [03:22] GNU Network Object Model Environment [03:23] mneptok: Thanks, burce89: can you elaborate? [03:23] some advocate changing it to just Gnome as the acronym's idea didn't happen [03:24] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2006-April/msg00436.html [03:24] bruce89: i see no such arguments from regular GNOME contributors and members [03:25] mneptok: I suppose it's just stuck, but the acronym doesn't really mean anything now [03:26] anyone know? [03:26] Xcell: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:26] Xcell, ctrl-alt-backspace [03:26] excellent..t/y [03:27] when I run "htop" I have like 67 lines that loook like " 6904 root 20 0 17352 1980 1540 S 0.0 0.8 0:00.98 /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon" <-- what is that ? [03:27] Xcell, sorry missread question [03:27] <[noobie]> so... [03:27] n/p [03:28] [noobie]: yes? [03:28] mneptok: the CLI is telling me that --reconfigure or -R are not valid options. dpkg --help isn't showing me anything about reconfiguring either [03:28] Xcell: will this reconfigure xserver-xorg automatically? I am having some graphics issues, might this help [03:28] ? [03:29] Depends on the problem [03:29] errr well basically I can't see certain types of video using the open source driver [03:29] I wish I could find a good PCMCIA card. Atheros chipset [03:29] and when resuming from hibernation the window borders/decorations are all messged up [03:30] and I have tried the ati binary driver but this seems to make things worse (ati mobility radeon x1400) [03:30] Iceman_B^Ltop: consolekit is a system daemon for tracking what users are logged [03:30] into the system and how they interact with the computer (e.g. which keyboard and mouse they use) [03:31] ibeekman-- usually, turn off all graphics eye candy (visual effects)..re-install drivers..make sure they are up and running then resume eye candy. [03:32] Xcell: so using mplayer to play avi, mp4, mpeg, etc. won't work even though I have the codecs. Also skype video craps out, but not ekiga [03:32] Can anyone here explain this funny behavior in VNC? The appearance alternates between that inthese 2 screenshots: http://gnurdux.homelinux.net/fail1.png and http://gnurdux.homelinux.net/fail2.png [03:32] hmmm I'll give that a shot, I haven't installed any packages for fancy eye candy just wobly windows etc. that comes straight out of the box.... [03:33] give it a shot [03:33] k thanks [03:33] (I'll probably be back though) [03:33] ibeekman-- usually, you install all extras and get them up and stable...then do the fancy graphics thing [03:33] Gnurdux: I dont see anything wrong with the first one [03:34] Cpudan80, the problem is that it alternates between the two [03:34] Gnurdux: second one - the theme didnt get applied, not a huge deal, it happens - restart the session [03:34] during the same login [03:34] screen suddenly changes [03:34] folks do it backwards and run into many unexpected problems [03:34] Hi, someone has been helping me... and he's wanted me to download a few things but... they're missing from my synaptic pachage manager. Does anyone have any ideas why? What I need is compiz-switch === ecrespo is now known as seraph1 [03:34] then changes back [03:34] Gnurdux: oh... [03:34] i wouldnt care if it was one or the other [03:34] Gnurdux: what viewer are you using? [03:34] those 2 are from the same login session [03:34] oh tightvnc [03:34] yep [03:34] Hello What's a good consule RSS newsreader? [03:34] maybe tweak it a little ? [03:35] make sure its got the settings high enough? [03:36] i want to learn how to fly on ubuntu [03:36] Cpudan80, howd you know its tightvnc? [03:36] hello, i get an error with amarok when i try to see the shoutcast list, " cannot connect to shoutcast server ", what is the problem [03:36] is it a known bug? [03:36] Gnurdux: the pic says tightvnc at the top [03:36] oh, lol [03:36] What's a good console RSS news reader? [03:36] Gnurdux: you could try a different viewer [03:37] mdg: snownews [03:37] its presumably the X server part though [03:37] Gnurdux: best one on windows is UltraVNC, on linux ... tight vnc is prob the best bet [03:37] tommi69: Is it easy to use? [03:37] Xtightvnc [03:37] or whatever [03:37] that is failing [03:37] Gnurdux: not necessarily, the viewer could be dropping out something [03:37] the vnc part should be irrelevant [03:37] but theme settings arent computed on client [03:37] mdg: like other terminal apps it is 'easy' in some nerd way but yes === bluTaz is now known as testname [03:37] for that matter you could use a different VNC server [03:38] I dont like the tight vnc server [03:38] if you spend some minutes to configure it you'll love it === testname is now known as bluTaz [03:38] tommi69: Thanks for your help! Off to download it now :) [03:38] that is somewhat sensible [03:38] !vino [03:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about vino [03:38] i was hoping for a "quick fix" though [03:38] vino sucks [03:38] !info vino [03:38] vino (source: vino): VNC server for GNOME.

Does anyone have any ideas why? What I need is compiz-switch [03:39] here is a TOTAL n00b question to anyone who knows the answer: If I'm in the CLI and I type a command that just sits there and is busy and I want to force it to stop what its doing, is there anything I can do besides pressing pause/break on my keyboard?

[03:41] i wan to learn it all [03:41] i want to learn it all [03:41] the_engineer: yes, it is [03:41] x-plane is supposed to be a great simulator, I'm not certain it works with linux but I think it does [03:41] never tried it [03:42] you have to buy it however [03:42] sadly me either, but I put it on my to-do list :-D [03:42] first how to fly i played top gun baby back in the day [03:42] also, vino is unsuitable for this setup [03:42] I'm having a problem with virtualbox. It's 2.14, and I'm trying to install windows xp professional to it. It seems to work, but unfortunately it keeps shutting off. I turn it on with an xp disc in the tray, and it goes through the usual windows installer activities, then when it asks me to partition, I tell it to go, and everything on my computer freezes. Music, video, mouse, everything. About 30-40 seconds later it says 'aborted' ne [03:42] xt to the status in the virtualbox main menu. Anyone know what's going on / if I can fix it? [03:42] i am using inetd; when you connect you get a GDM login [03:42] looks cool, but the screenshot on x-plane.com is weird [03:42] glitsj16: thanks [03:42] hi, i have a server with no cd/dvd, can i install ubuntu from a flash assuming that it is bootable?

[03:47] stiev3: /home and /usr on their own things [03:47] built a oa that does that [03:47] i need some assistance with dual booting XP on one drive and Unbuntu (latest desktop edition) on another drive.. I have XP running great and EasyBCD is setup for boot record management but it put the boot record on my C drive instead of where Unbuntu is at which is E.. How do I fix this? [03:47] stiev3: yes [03:47] oh a broadcom card WILL work with Kismet [03:47] Ripzerskins: for XP .... 256 or more [03:47] stiev3: don't bother with /usr [03:47] Hi :D [03:47] Cpudan80: I gave the base memory 430 mb, I think, and the video memory 21 mb [03:47] /usr isnt as critical as /home [03:48] Ripzerskins: 430 ? what a weird amount [03:48] thanks, always get to this point and end up just wiping everything, gonna try to play it smart next time. [03:48] Cpudan80: not critical at all [03:48] Cpudan80: I'm not exactly the most tech savviest guy. [03:48] Ripzerskins: always use powers of 2 [03:48] so 64 128 or 256 [03:48] or 512 or a gig [03:48] Cpudan80: What do you recommend? [03:48] how much ram does the main box have? [03:48] i wonder if /home could be put on a dropbox like partition so that files would be risk free (as long as you're connected) [03:49] question, how do i upgrade to 8.10? I [03:49] Cpudan80: I'm running on 1 gig, so I'll go with half [03:49] Ripzerskins: good idea [03:49] im running 8.04 from a dell mini 9 version of ubuntu [03:49] !upgrade | nikitis [03:49] nikitis: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [03:49] i have a question as well if you guys can help me [03:49] from 8.04 should be easy [03:49] Cpudan80: Do you think it would work now? [03:50] Ripzerskins: maybe ... did you give it enough HDD space? [03:50] Cpudan80: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:50] Question about Emerald Themer... it keeps freezing up and tends to not work from time to time unless, I use "emerald --replace". Any suggestions? [03:50] XP needs about 4 GBs [03:50] Cpudan80: I gave it 7 gigs [03:50] plenty [03:50] Cpudan80, does that work for a dell branded ubuntu?

It's installing just fine now [03:55] and I haven't used it in about 1 year and it is yelling at me about my unclean NTFS HDD [03:55] Cpudan80: Thank you very much. [03:55] sicksix: so that people can see what the problem is and if they know the answer can look in the pastebin [03:55] How do I 'clean' it or make it mount? [03:55] tommi69: cool... i did use the paste bin... let me post it in here as well [03:55] it's an external USB [03:56] ] [03:56] :) [03:56] vinyaa, are you using pulse audio [03:56] ?

The machine recently rebooted and no-one is logged in locally via the gdm, anything I can do? [03:57] can't find a jaunty channel [03:58] tommi69: broken?

[04:01] I would like to know if it is safe to remove it from my startup list, or what it does [04:01] Has anyone run into any issues with a Atheros AR5008X Wireless Network Adapter and can possibly lend me a bit of a hand? [04:01] no worries here either, I'll catch up on the other homeworks I'm trying to get done. [04:02] ryan you mean fusion-icon? [04:02] how much harddrive space does 9.04 need for a basic install? [04:03] bruce89: "internal error: couldn't generate list of packages to download" - UGH. [04:03] No, Someone helped me trouble shoot a problem with flash player... and it was with compiz running it was screwing up, he told me to download compiz-switch. I said it's not in my synaptic package manager, and he sent a screeny with it in his [04:03] tommi69: wow, that's nice [04:03] And he has no idea why it wouldn't be [04:03] anyone know? [04:03] It's supposed to just be an applet to quickly turn compiz on or off [04:03] yes ryan that is fusion-icon [04:04] bruce89: i *hope* i won't have to reinstall, but it seriously looks PFU [04:04] !info fusion-icon [04:04] fusion-icon (source: fusion-icon): tray icon to launch and manage Compiz Fusion.

Version 0.1.0-1 (intrepid), package size 29 kB, installed size 264 kB [04:04] ryan_: i think compiz-switch is an outdated program to switch on/off compiz effects [04:04] tommi69: I'm afraid it looks likely [04:04] ryan_: you can achieve the same by going to system -> preferencies -> appearance [04:05] lol@ tommi69: not to make light of your plight but if PFU stands for what I think it stands for, thats a great acronym. And the first time i've seen it used as such. [04:05] ryan_: in the appearance window there shuld be a 'special effects' tab from where you can switch off effects [04:05] vinyaa, have you tried using just musescore and nothing else? [04:06] the_engineer: the_engineer: it obviously means Pretty Funny Update, because python errors on update managers are F U N [04:06] Anyone know how to get Nautilus to show file locations in search results? [04:06] OBVIOUSLY [04:06] :-D [04:07] teeks: If you mean to turn off other apps, tell me what to turn off and I will. I don't know my way around too well yet... I think it might be a midi issue, but that's just what I got from scanning sites for two hours :/ === jay is now known as jayb [04:07] Need to know how much harddrive space 9.04 takes up on install? [04:08] Okie, try just running the application that's having the problem. [04:08] I've mistakenly disabled the top panel [04:08] anyone? [04:08] I would suggest restarting if you haven't done that recently too. [04:09] I just have access to terminal through dock... help me enabling it.... I disabled it when I tried to uninstall evolution mail client [04:09] Restarted, double checked that sound card is still working on windows (it's partitioned too small to dl musescore there), and tried adding any related apps... musescore still doesn't let me open the play panle [04:09] *panel [04:10] just rebooted an amd64 intrepid machine, X is not loading... [04:10] I keep seeing error messages [from IPtables?] appear on the local console [04:10] [5550727.036092] Unknown OutputIN= OUT=vmnet8 SRC=172.16.17.1 DST=172.16.17.255 LEN=187 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=631 DPT=631 LEN=167 [04:10] ^^ example [04:11] vinyaa, brb I'm going to check something [04:11] ok. if it makes any difference, my friend just sent a midi file that I was able to play [04:11] Hey everyone! =) I have a question - I have Istanbul installed, the desktop video recording program. Earlier this afternoon, I set it to record a quick 30-second clip of my desktop, and the 3D capabilities of Compiz-Fusion. Once the recording stopped, the icon changed into a disk, and hovering my mouse over the icon displays 'In process of saving to disk.' I cannot elicit a single response from the icon now - right [04:12] I'm trying to watch a blu-ray rip of Planet Earth on my ubuntu box. The player plays the audio but the video is blank. I think it may be an issue with codecs.. ist theresome sort of codec pack I need to install ? === Cpudan80_ is now known as Cpudan80 [04:12] for a second i thought you wrote istanbul instead of intrepid :D [04:12] unimaginative: does it work with the actual disc? [04:13] tonsxchat, It works on my windows system. The ubuntu box doesnt have a blueray drive [04:13] unimaginative: doesn videolan play everything... [04:13] hhp2k: where are istanbul videos saved? [04:13] hi is anyone here? [04:13] Ububegin, apparently not. I don't even know what codec this file is saved in. It was the digital copy. [04:13] hhp2k: check if the video has been created [04:13] edogzilla: no, unfortunately [04:14] edogzilla: the virus has spread [04:14] excuse me, but I'm a total newb to ubuntu linux and i need some serious help, anyone available to help? [04:14] its a startup issue [04:14] vinyaa, I'm back [04:14] hello guys..... I've mistakenly disabled desktop panel on the top......... I just have access to terminal through dock... help me enabling it.... I disabled it when I tried to uninstall evolution mail client [04:14] okay, any ideas? [04:14] ask in the room and someone will try to help if they can [04:14] edogzilla: just explain the problem if someone can help you they will answer [04:15] what is the .img format? i [04:15] tommi69: I'm not sure where the Istanbul videos are saved - let me check that out and get back to you in a second. [04:15] edogzilla: the qn pls... [04:15] im downloading jaunty [04:15] next to the transport there is a box, is that checked [04:15] hhp2k: i don't know that software but probably from the preferencies you can get the directory [04:15] hey, how can I copy a lot of directories from a directory where is a lot of other files [04:15] next to the huh? x.x [04:15] I mean, only the directories [04:15] my problem is that when i startup my comp, i dont get the gui desktop...instead i get just a command line. all i wanna do is get to my desktop at startup. any ideas? [04:16] i am using 8.10 btw [04:16] i have two ips bound to eth0 and eth0:0; is there a way for my server to be configured on each interface separately? [04:16] edogzilla, did you tried startx [04:16] How do you use a .img file? [04:16] any help, guys? [04:16] no. is startx the entire command? [04:16] There's a Display Transport menu and next to that should be a box you can check [04:16] nikitis: you have to burn it on a disk i believe [04:17] tommi69, its for a usb disk [04:17] tommi69, but how do i put it on the usb? [04:17] nikitis: ah! you need something special to burn the img on the usb i think [04:17] tEky: that's also shaded, it won't let me select it [04:17] edogzilla, yes.... after login in through command line interface just type startx and enter [04:17] tommi69, right, but what? [04:17] hmm.. that's odd [04:17] ok...then what? [04:17] nikitis: searching for 'ubuntu img usb' BAM! first link [04:17] tEky: yeah. welcome to my world. [04:18] edogzilla, startx should start your gui [04:18] nikitis: use google the answer is at the first link [04:18] thrillerboy, will i have to type that every time? can i set it so that it starts automatically? [04:18] is there a channel for protocol? [04:18] !protocol [04:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about protocol [04:19] I guess you can make that automatically start from services screen.... [04:19] nope no #protocol [04:19] admin_masu3701, what kinda protocol? [04:20] edogzilla: you have to check your /etc/inittab [04:20] thrillerboy, whats services screen? not sure where to find that [04:20] vinyaa, I might try a different program. [04:20] edogzilla, I just started using ubuntu for a week, so some other experienced peeps can help well [04:20] edogzilla: you are in a console? [04:20] when i start up my comp i get no gui just a command line [04:20] tEky: alright, I might go mess around a bit with Jack and see if maybe something is wrong there, but thanks for your help [04:21] well, theres a bunch of other text and stuff too but you know what i mean [04:21] space_cadet: for a class, i have to design a protocol that can be used to send anonymous mail [04:21] not sure where to start [04:21] admin_masu3701, sounds like your teacher is one of those spammers [04:21] admin_masu3701, aint nothing hard about that :) [04:21] yea, no problem [04:21] admin_masu3701, i would scrap the project and report your teacher to the fcc [04:21] * usser hehe [04:21] haha [04:22] we're not writing the code..just designing it [04:22] so will i have to type startx every time? [04:22] edogzilla: not really :) [04:22] admin_masu3701, http://www.theanonymousemail.com/anonymous-email-server.php [04:23] admin_masu3701, so just put in the protocol specs that a sender is not required to provide an callback address, thats it [04:23] hello guys..... I've mistakenly disabled desktop panel on the top......... I just have access to terminal through dock... help me enabling it.... I disabled it when I tried to uninstall evolution mail client [04:23] edogzilla: let me check one thing i'll be right back to you [04:23] Vinyaa, have you tried Ubuntu Studio version [04:23] tEk: No [04:23] tommie 69, ok great thx [04:23] admin_masu3701, not sure whats there to design, just take smtp as a base and remove the clause about authentication from there [04:23] I'm having a problem with desktop effects. When enabled, the titlebar [icons / close/minimize/maximize buttons] seems to mess up. [04:23] Is there a fix to this? [04:23] thrillERboy, try gnome-panel [04:24] where to get it :/ I don't see the top panel.... not anything...... applications, system nothing [04:24] usser: he want the message to be split into 2 parts that will be sent to 2 differents peers [04:24] thrillERboy, are you sure you want to uninstall evolution as well? [04:24] then reassemble before delivery [04:24] vinyaa, http://ubuntustudio.org/ [04:24] I've uninstallled evolution.... [04:24] :x [04:24] thrillERboy, open a terminal then run gnome-panel [04:24] tEk: there already. I might give that a go, thanks [04:24] Hello, On my main desktop I have two users, my wife and I. I use Awesome as my window manager and my wife uses Gnome. Back when we both ran Gnome switching users while leaving the other logged in was not a issue thanks to the user switcher panel applet. Is there a way for my wife to log into her gnome session while leaving my Awesome session active? I run a lot of applications and hate coming back to my computer only to find out she [04:24] has Ctrl+Alt+Backspace me out so she can check her email. Thanks! [04:24] thrillERboy, but beware, when you close the terminal, bybye gnome-panel [04:24] ey the deluge is better what transmission === Cpudan80_ is now known as Cpudan80 [04:25] I'm using it on my DT with an M-Audio 1010LT audio card, works very well. [04:25] lol bye bye panel [04:26] this program in not installed, so I've to do that sudo apt-get thing? [04:26] Anyone know why I get that issue? [04:26] try this.. [04:26] It's not too flashy though, but it gets the job done. [04:26] thrillERboy, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+question/3179 [04:26] wnstn: there's a way to run one sesson on one X and another on a different X session.. at the same time.. like :0 & :1 but I don't know how to set it up.. [04:26] dumb question, will it just update what I have now, or does it completely replace the OS? [04:26] admin_masu3701, hm. well thats still technically traceable. still, it seems doable, look at how smtp does stuff, take some commands from there, add a couple of your own that specify the peer addresses and reassemble the mail upon delivery [04:26] edogzilla: if you do this command 'cat /etc/inittab' what do you get? i hope your ubuntu has inittab [04:26] wnstn: you'd switch with ctrl+alt+F7-9 [04:26] one sec ill tell ya [04:26] admin_masu3701, http://james.apache.org/server/rfclist/smtp/rfc0821.txt [04:27] scunizi: Tried that but it wont let me startx [04:27] how do i mount a drive if it was not properly ejected from windows? [04:27] vinyaa, you will need to reformat. [04:27] deluge is more stable [04:27] usser: the link didnt open correctly [04:27] tommi 69: i get no such file or directory [04:27] wnstn: there's a special way of doing it. kinda like running x over ssh.. [04:28] Hmm... [04:28] its a fresh install of 8.10 straight from the live cd [04:28] ok, it'll have to wait until I get my hands on my friend's external, then. thanks a lot though, I'll just try and find a program to do what I need to for tonight, and I'll switch over this week. thanks though! :) I'm headed off, but I might check back in if I can figure something out [04:28] I tried installing Compiz because I've heard that it had to do with the command under "window decorations" but that didn't do any good. [04:28] admin_masu3701, here http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc821.html [04:28] edogzilla: please type this command: 'runlevel' [04:28] edogzilla: and tell me the response [04:28] admin_masu3701, or just google for smtp rfc [04:28] Hi there, I can't seem to find Apache benchmark (ab) available for download in Ubuntu's repos. Is it only available from source? [04:29] so, switching to RealVNC didnt fix the crashes; it seems ot be gnome-settings-daemon that is crashing [04:29] tommi 69, i get N 2 [04:29] it did, however imrpove performance [04:29] scunizi: That sounds a bit complicated, especially for my wife :) [04:29] Vinyaa, Okie, sorry I couldn't help out more... have a good day :} [04:29] admin_masu3701, since you dont have to actually implement the commands you can say that they do this and that without bothering if its actually possible in real life, hell half of HTML standard is done this way [04:29] :( [04:30] edogzilla: ok wait one more minute [04:30] tommi 69, but keep in mind that i'm actually using the cd right now, not my install, cuz its the only way I can get a desktop to get onto chat cuz i dont know how to do anything from just the command line [04:30] edogzilla: ah. [04:30] so i'm really not sure how that affects things [04:30] wnstn: If she had the primary load on F7 (standard location) and your's was on F8 then everything would look normal to her and you would have the control to switch to your desktop when needed and switch back when you walked away.. [04:31] Now that Nexuiz 2.5 has been released, is there an expected date for it to appear in the repos? [04:31] thanks guys.... lemme check this worked.... [04:31] edogzilla: ithought you were trying these commands on the affected system [04:31] tommi 69, no sorry. forgive me i'm a total newb [04:31] scunizi: sounds do-able, how would I set that up? [04:31] Changing the command didn't seem to work.. [04:32] edogzilla: no problem but i can't help if you don't tell me how the system replies to those commands [04:32] Oi, I just have no idea what the problem is. :[ [04:32] i would have to restart every time [04:32] When someone's free to help, I'd like some. =D [04:32] usser: yea..saying they do this and that will be much easier..since we dont have to write the code [04:32] Same here. [04:33] edogzilla: i know [04:33] Now that Nexuiz 2.5 has been released, is there an expected date for it to appear in the repos? [04:33] tommi 69, if you will be around a while we could do it that way [04:33] edogzilla: unfortunately it's 5.30am and i seriously need to sleep :) [04:33] wnstn: I would search some of the technical how to educational sites.. many schools are using one machine with 4 sets of monitors, keyboards, mice etc for individual unique logins.. including session choice.. can't be that hard to find.. I actually had someone on here tell me how a couple years ago. [04:33] ubuntu21, its not gonna make it into the repos. it probably wont even be in jaunty its too late for that [04:33] tommi 69, any ideas? [04:33] edogzilla: login in the faulty system, do that 'runlevel' command and see if it still responds '2' [04:34] usser: why would it be too late for repos? Repos actually freeze? Why? [04:34] tommi 69: and if it does...or doesnt? [04:34] What's the point of that? [04:34] edogzilla: runlevel 2 usually means 'login graphically' (not exact but for clarity sake..) [04:34] edogzilla: if you log in in the console, no graphics, it usually means you are in runlevel 1 [04:35] Whenever I start up my laptop, it goes to the login screen fine, but when I login it just stays that basic offwhite color and I can't do anything. [04:35] ubuntu21, yea, the freeze usually happens around beta release after that point only security updates are allowed into repositories, 2.5 is a major upgrade theres no way it'll make it [04:35] usser: when the message get splitted in 2 parts and send to 2 different peers, should the 2 parts of the message include headers? [04:35] edogzilla: so, if you get a runlevel 1 response you just have to switch back to runlevel 2 to get graphical login [04:35] whats a good source for learning python? [04:35] usser: So it won't make it for another 6 months... lame [04:35] hi got the gnome-panel now... It closes when I close the terminal.... is there a way to make it stay [04:35] tommi 69: so if I type runlevel 2 in the command line it will work from then on? [04:35] ubuntu21: you can probably get it at www.getdeb.net [04:35] zombie-robo1: swarooch.com,e [04:36] and how is it going to be reassembled before delivery [04:36] zombie-robo1: swarooch.com, ebook titled 'byte of python' - learned basis in a weekend, it's great [04:36] also It seems I've uninstalled user switcher. hot to enable it? whats the command? [04:36] admin_masu3701, its up to you. its probably easier to have them both have headers, since it'll be easy to reassemble [04:36] edogzilla: you type 'runlevel' and hope it's 1 then come back here and ask around how to change it to runlevel 2 [04:36] usser: Nope. not there. [04:36] thank you [04:36] does anyone else get the same issue with visual effects turned on? [04:36] edogzilla: 'init 2' [04:36] edogzilla: if you type 'runlevel' and you get 2 there is something else wrong [04:36] tommi 69: ok i will thx [04:37] tommi 69: would you happen to know what that is? [04:37] edogzilla: listen to Flannel i used to modify a file to solve this but it doesn't work anymore in ubuntu (/etc/inittab), maybe Flannel knows more [04:37] tommi 69: whats init 2? [04:37] admin_masu3701, make sure you do some sort of integrity check, hash the message or something, and then check if the hash is correct after reassembly, a good protocol should do that [04:37] how do you connect to a access point by the terminal? [04:38] edogzilla: init is that runlevel thing i told you about - if 1 start at console, if 2 start with gui [04:39] tommi 69: so in other words...If I type init 2 in the command line if i am on runlevel 2, then it will switch me to runlevel 2? [04:39] edogzilla: really need to go, try to get as much information as possible and come back here somebody will help [04:39] how can I empty trash if permission is denied and the ~/.local/Share/Trash is empty? [04:39] tommi: sorry i meant if i am on runlevel 1 [04:39] ubuntu21, well thats how it is, you can always get it from getdeb.net im sure those guys will create a package for it pretty fast [04:39] tommi 69: ok thanks [04:39] edogzilla: i don't know that init command Flannel talked about it, try to ask him [04:39] how do you connect to a access point by the terminal? [04:39] tommi69, edogzilla: init 2 will get you to runlevel 2 [04:40] Flannel: permanently? === shane is now known as josh890 [04:40] Flannel: like it used to be when editing runlevel on /etc/inittab i mean [04:40] flannel: aha. thanks. and after i get to runlevel 2 is the change permanent or will i have to do that every time i start my comp? [04:40] tommi69: No, just this one time. Is he booting to runlevel1 constantly? [04:40] edogzilla: What menu entry are you selecting at GRUB? [04:40] Flannel: that's what i was trying to understand [04:41] hi guys.. grub does not boot into ubuntu because its giving a error code 15... when I boot with the live cd.. I do find /boot/grub/stage1 .. it returns the same error.. if i do: find /grub/stage1 ... that also returns the same error.. what are my options? why would this be like this on a good working install? [04:41] Flannel: if you can see if you can point edogzilla to a solution i must leave [04:41] Flannel: um, wow sorry. i'm a first timer and I dont know what you mean. i dont selct or type or press anything it just takes me there when i turn my computer on...sorry about being ignorant here [04:42] Every time I login, the screen just stays white and I can't do anything except shut it down normally with the power button, and diagnostics didn't show anything. What's wrong? [04:42] flannel: this is a completely fresh install of 8.10 from the cd. first time bootup [04:42] edogzilla: Being new is nothing to apologise about, we're all new at some point. Alright, you just installed and its doing this? [04:43] flannel: yes [04:43] What is the CLI command for the listing of device hardware? [04:43] edogzilla: Alright. Is this a separate computer you're on? So we can play with things while you're still here talking to me? [04:43] hey guys my computer hung when i was installing a package so i had to do a hard reset now when i try to use a package manager it says there is one already running, any ideas/ [04:43] Firefishe: lspci and lsusb [04:43] thanks, Flannel [04:43] that helps [04:43] josh890: Be sure update-manager isn't running (or anything else) with ps aux, and then, if you're absolutely sure, you'll have to manually delete the lock file. [04:44] flannel: unfortunately not. i am running from the cd right now cuz its the only way i could use the comp, cuz i dont know what to do with that command line [04:44] flannel: if i tried anything i would have to reboot, try it, then reboot again from the cd to get back here === Vantrax is now known as Vantrax|away [04:44] hey guys Ive got a wmp54g that shows like half a signal in ubuntu but when you try to connect to the router it does not want to connect. If it does connect it doesnt stay connected for very long how could I solve this issue? Im using the native linux drivers btw [04:44] well theres no notification in the gui or the system log so where is the lock file located? [04:44] Every time I login, the screen just stays white and I can't do anything except shut it down normally with the power button, and diagnostics didn't show anything. What's wrong? === Deception is now known as Dr_Disk [04:45] so i bit torrented an ubuntu 8.10 iso and md5sumed it and it was good. then I copied the file from my ntfs partition to my ext3 primary and the md5sum changed, what happened? [04:45] smacfarl: the data got corrupted during the transfer? [04:45] edogzilla: alright. That's fine, I've got a while. What I want you to do is reboot, hit escape a few times after the POST screen (you should see something that says 'press ESC to view the GRUB menu' or something like that) once you get there, jot down what menu choices you have. Try to choose one that doesn't say "recovery mode" (and also, not memtest) and then also keep track of whatever errors it gives you. [04:46] how is that possible? [04:46] josh890: use apt-get and it'll tell you. sudo apt-get update [04:46] I'm just copying from one drive to another on the same machine [04:46] ok [04:46] flannel: ok i'll try it. be back in a while [04:46] Flannel might almost be easier to tell him how to install and load irssi after booting to a command line === Vincent is now known as Guest71569 [04:47] smacfarl: I don't know... http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/04/2230252 might help you [04:47] irssi is what I'm using...niiice :) [04:47] whats irssi? === Dr_Disk is now known as Dr_Disk_ [04:48] * scunizi feels like he's stired the pot === Dr_Disk_ is now known as Dr_Disk [04:48] how can i backup my system files so if my hdd died, i can reinstall on a new hdd and have the same configuration and settings but not my personal files(ie music pictures)? [04:48] anyway i'll be back [04:48] ttl: partimage [04:48] Is anyone familiar with a way to have dual monitors, each wit hits own window list? (Like ultramon on windows) [04:48] Every time I login, the screen just stays white and I can't do anything except shut it down normally with the power button, and diagnostics didn't show anything. What's wrong? [04:49] scunizi: will it work if i copied my /home/username directory on a backup drive and past it on the new one? [04:50] does anyone here have experience compiling kvm userspace against full kernel source? [04:50] I have a problem with a warning, that is missing. [04:50] chrisdall, probably needs gcc sources or something [04:51] which music player would you recommend? [04:51] it doesn't complain about , so I am kind of confused. Can you elaborate? [04:51] how do you connect to a access point by the terminal? [04:51] hi guys.. grub does not boot into ubuntu because its giving a error code 15... when I boot with the live cd.. I do find /boot/grub/stage1 .. it returns the same error.. if i do: find /grub/stage1 ... that also returns the same error.. what are my options? why would this be like this on a good working install? [04:51] chetnick, exaile [04:51] if I have ubuntu installed and using fluxbox, how would I connect to a windows server? Ex. I want to connect to another windows PC on my network. [04:52] usser: do you know by any chance is there equalizer on it? [04:52] I just installed ubuntu 8.10, and when the x server login comes up, I have no keyboard or mouse recognition (usb). I've tried using two usb-to-ps2 adapters for the 2 free ps2 ports, but that didn't work. [04:52] ttl: partimage mirrors entire partitions.. if you only have two .. one /swap and the rest including /home on / then just imaging that will take care of everything.. [04:52] usser: am getting somewhere. but whouldnt the messages have the sender address in them? [04:53] The keyboard works on virtual terminal (hence this session), but not in x. I"m stumped. [04:53] usser: Do you know why it complains about compiler.h and not ioctl.h? [04:54] (they are both included in kvm.h). Help would be fantastically greatly appreciated from anyone... [04:54] chetnick, hang on [04:54] chetnick, yep [04:54] What's the command to list process id's? [04:55] can I upgrade from 7.04 to 8.04 directly? [04:55] admin_masu3701, if you dont want it, you can just say that sender doesnt have to specify his address, and splitting the message and sending throgh different peers will efectively masquarade the ip [04:56] hi. [04:56] jplur: Nope. 7.04 to 7.10 to 8.04 [04:56] chrisdall, i've never compiled kvm, i wouldnt know it just sounded like it needed gcc sources [04:56] Flannel, thanks [04:56] ok, thanks for input though! [04:56] jplur: just clean install [04:56] hi flannel im back u there? [04:57] edogzilla: Yep [04:57] anyone tried to installed ubuntu with Acer e machine EL1700 [04:57] usser: so the header could just contain like a packet name or # or such. [04:57] friedtofu, i did the autoclean and clean, I guess I should disable all non main repositories before upgrading? [04:57] Every time I login, the screen just stays white and I can't do anything except shut it down normally with the power button, and diagnostics didn't show anything. What's wrong? [04:57] admin_masu3701, yea, and recipient address [04:57] i have errors upon booting form installation [04:58] flannel k: I got 3 choices. one was ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-2 generic...the other was the same only with (system recovery) at the end....and the last was ubuntu 8.10 memtest86+ [04:58] usser: who reasembling the messages? [04:58] edogzilla: Alright, good so far. And choosing the non-recovery one ended up with what? [04:59] flannel: the same thing [04:59] as before === ttl is now known as al14s [04:59] man, i've been trying to solve this problem for like 12 hours now [04:59] flannel: the only thing that looked like an error was a message that said: knit:no resume image, doing normal boot [04:59] my nautilus is crapping the bed everytime i boot 9.04 [04:59] ttl transistor transistor logic? [05:00] edogzilla: So, you got a root prompt? one that ended with #? [05:00] as in, the desktop doesn't have any icons, nautilus won't start from command line [05:00] pHreaksYcle1: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks. [05:00] admin_masu3701, well the recipient [05:00] anyone have ideas..? [05:00] is anyone using imap in evolution? damn thing seg faults as soon as I try using imap [05:00] flannel: no. I got the command line as usual, the one that ends with $ [05:00] Flannel: ah, that would explain the lack of responses around here. thanks man. [05:00] usser: ok [05:00] edogzilla: oh... that's not single user mode then. You installed with a liveCD? [05:00] usser: writing all that out will be good? [05:01] usser: and thinking about doing a diagram [05:01] admin_masu3701, arent you already? i mean yea [05:01] flannel: what happened was I upgraded from hardy heron to 8.10...and i got this problem. in order to fix it i did a fresh install from the cd...same problem [05:02] edogzilla: Odd indeed. Installed from the liveCD? [05:02] flannel: yes [05:02] flannel: the one i downloaded from the ubuntu website === duff_ is now known as dt3k [05:02] flannel: i already tested the cd's integrity and it was fine === dt3k is now known as duffc [05:03] Anyone have trouble getting compiz animations to work? [05:03] nope [05:03] I have a Logitech mouse and I am trying to assign one of its buttons to a certain task - I use xev to get the technical details of pressing a particular mouse button, but I am not sure what to do with that information. === heavybeetle is now known as Tetracomm [05:04] I have a hardware problem -- I have a board with an integrated video device. I want to dual head, so I added a PCI Express type video card. That card works fine, but the integrated device is gone - the display has no output and the device doesn't show in an lspci. Does that seem normal? [05:04] edogzilla: Odd. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you installed a server system or whatnot. [05:04] If HAL didn't start during bootup, what might the cause be? [05:04] me thinks Flannel nailed it [05:04] hi guys.. grub does not boot into ubuntu because its giving a error code 15... when I boot with the live cd.. I do find /boot/grub/stage1 .. it returns the same error.. if i do: find /grub/stage1 ... that also returns the same error.. what are my options? why would this be like this on a good working install? [05:04] (Hellos, btw) [05:04] flannel: i doubt it cuz its the same cd i used on my last computer and it was perfectly fine...this is a new comp i bought today [05:04] Antisoche: could be a bios setting that disables the onboard when it detects the pci [05:05] scunizi, Thanks - I did poke around in the BIOS and there were no video options. [05:05] The BIOS is very spartan. [05:05] Antisoche: that's not normal.. [05:05] epaphus: get one of those cd's that do a bootloader rescue [05:05] Hey guys, I login with Gnome and it takes me to the normal starting screen with my background and the menu bar at the top, but it won't let me move my mouse or anything [05:06] Back again. I get this error with desktop effects enabled: http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/3677/screweduptitlebar.jpg [05:06] Is there a fix to this? [05:06] JosephD: is this a fresh install? [05:06] edogzilla: well, you're obviously not in single user mode. Since you get a $ prompt. All... I can suggest is going back to it, try ctrl-alt-f7, try 'startx', try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [05:06] Aerodynamic: did you use the hardware manager to enable your drivers? [05:07] danbhfive, no I've had this laptop for a while, it just started doing this recently [05:07] drivers are enabled [05:07] epaphus: how fast is your internet? [05:07] JosephD: do you know how to get to a virtual terminal? or tty? [05:07] al14s, its fast enough. However... is there anything i can do with the live cd? [05:08] Aerodynamic, do you have compiz as well installed? [05:08] Yup. [05:08] Aerodynamic: ok, but did you use that dialog to install them? how did you install the drivers? [05:08] flannel: ok ill try that [05:08] scunizi, Hmm - the integrated and addon cards are both NVidia. You think the addon has the ability to disable the integrated controller? This mobo is very heavy on the NVIdia parts (PCI Bridge, USB, Audio, etc.) [05:08] flannel: i'll be back if it doesnt work [05:08] Aero, i had a similar issue and the end result is its just due to a bug somewhere between Emerald and compiz [05:08] danbhfive, I did use that dialog to install the driver. [05:09] restarted [05:09] tried this [05:09] danbhfive, think so, is that the one I can access in sessions in the login screen? [05:09] Antisoche: is it a gforce 8200 board? [05:09] How do I add a panel to another monitor? (twinview) [05:09] i'm trying to encode a matroska file to mp4 to watch it using my psp. i'm using mencode to convert it, but i'm getting this error: Audio LAVC, couldn't find encoder for codec aac. I tried to install faac, but got the same error yet, anyone? thank you :) [05:09] it searched and loaded the driver or something when I tried to enable the effects [05:09] mattgyver83, emerald? [05:09] scunizi, 8300 GS [05:09] epaphus: my mandriva 07 DVD comes with a bootloader rescue that works fine with me. Try to download a minimal one i guess. [05:09] Flannel: anyone in particular i can contact in this channel? it's quiet as can be in here [05:09] pHreaksYcle1: People from this channel who know Jaunty are also presumably in that channel. [05:09] al14s, thanks [05:10] pHreaksYcle1: check launchpad though, file a bug, etc. [05:10] !tty | JosephD [05:10] JosephD: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [05:10] Anybody know if I can recreate a bootloader with the live cd.. without having to download a recue cd? [05:10] Antisoche: not the video card but the chipset of the mother board [05:10] !grub | epaphus [05:10] epaphus: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [05:10] I tried looking it up and it said something about putting emerald in the commandline. [05:10] Flannel: yeah, i have been pouring over the various sources of bug-fixing databases, the forums etc. IRC is my last hope apparently haha. [05:10] I dunno what emerald even is. [05:10] Aero, i might have it wrong, but I think its due to Emerald Theme manager confusing Compiz. If you have Emerald installed still. (its been a while) [05:10] anyone tried to installed ubuntu with Acer e machine EL1700 [05:10] JosephD: try running this command, just as a sanity check: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ it should check for the evdev driver [05:11] hmm [05:11] is emerald the default theme manager [05:11] Yes [05:11] Well, no not default, its an additional package [05:11] but it was necessary back when it was beryl [05:11] Aerodynamic: metacity is the default. [05:11] oh [05:11] hm.. is there a way to fix? [05:11] I just went back to metacity and it was fine ever since. [05:12] scunizi, oh, sorry. It's an MCP61 according to lspci ... I'll get a flashlight and see what I can find printed [05:12] I tried it with the default and had the problem [05:12] and then downloaded Compiz to see if that helped [05:12] still same problem [05:12] Aerodynamic: personally i would recommend staying away from emerald unless there is a particular emerald theme you HAVE to have. most of the effects can be reproduced in metacity fairly easily. all it does is suck RAM for me anyway. [05:12] Also, if someone could tell me how to take Google out of stupid mode when I log into my gmail account I'd be very appreciative. [05:12] Antisoche: no worries.. do you have any weird issues booting? [05:12] hola a todos [05:12] Antisoche: stupid mode as in [05:13] NEPTUNO: que tal [05:13] danbhfive, it asks for my login details, but when it prompts for my password, it won't let me type it [05:13] como estas [05:13] oye me puedes ayudar??? [05:13] Idk if I have emerald even installed x_X [05:13] Aerodynamic, Emerald is now 'Compiz Fusion Icon' which might be in your System tools folder of the Applications menu [05:13] estoy entrando al chat de terra pero no puedo atraves de este programa === Album is now known as Album|Awy [05:13] oh! [05:13] scunizi, No issues booting. The machine behaves well. The only weird thing that's happened is I plugged in a video card and lost my primary display :-\ [05:13] JosephD: when you type, it will show nothing. Just try typing your password, and hit enter [05:13] JosephD: just type it. nothing will be shown even if works [05:13] how can i read a range of bytes from /dev/sda [05:14] Aero, it opens a small systray icon that you can right click into, go to 'Select Window Manager' and see whats selected === Dreamglider is now known as Dreamglider^asle === Dreamglider^asle is now known as Dreamglider^away [05:14] JosephD: and don't forget the ^... [05:14] Nah, I don't have it. [05:14] NEPTUNO: no comprendo "Terra" [05:14] sudo apt-get compiz-fusion-icon [05:14] What's the command to list process id's? [05:14] pHreaksYcle1, When I do a google search after logging into gmail is takes away the links to search for my keyword in "images" or "news". All I get is "start search" or "web search" radio buttons. [05:14] Firefishe: ps aux [05:14] Firefishe, ps ax [05:15] So I have a Samsung Q1 Ultra and it's not in use right now. I want to turn it into a remote control for my computer at home. Think this is possible if I install ubuntu onto it? (Can I install ubuntu on it? I heard the mobile version works well on it) [05:15] Look to make sure Compiz is the selected Window Manager, and that Emerald is the select Window Decorator [05:15] Antisoche: just looking for a manual on it now. [05:15] Most of the time I just use yahoo, but all my browsers default to google [05:15] Antisoche: I think that's just how it is man. sorry to be the bearer of bad news. [05:15] danbhfive, says dpkg was interupted and i must manually run it [05:15] Aero, might want to make sure you have emerald installed as well, that should appear in the drop down menu when you right click it. [05:16] E: Invalid operation compiz-fusion-icon [05:16] hey does anyone know whether gnome-zeitgeist works on the Ubuntu 8.10 distro? [05:16] NEPTUNO: que es este "Terra" hombre? [05:16] Antisoche: who makes the board? [05:16] scunizi, The mobo is a HP M2N68-LA (rev 3.02) [05:16] JosephD: go ahead, and manually run "it" I assume its something like dpkg-configure -a [05:17] sudo apt-get install fusion-icon [05:17] danbhfive, says that it requires superuser privelege [05:17] JosephD: preface the command with sudo [05:19] scunizi, I'm going to have to say that the controller chip is under a heatsink. :( [05:19] what the heck is 'bzr'? [05:19] Does anyone here have a 10+ button mouse, such as my Logitech mouse - I am trying to get all the buttons to work/map them as I wish. Does anyone know how to go about doing this? [05:19] mattycoze: brazil? [05:19] mattycoze, Bazaar is a SCM like CVS, Subversion, or GIT [05:19] I can't see the username in the right corner of the gnomepanel [05:20] I think I had uninstalled it.... how to enable it? [05:20] mattgy, I have it installed. [05:20] What do I do now? [05:20] I loose :( [05:20] Antisoche ahh nope too many acronyms mate :p [05:20] thrillERboy: right click and hit add to panel. find it in the list. [05:20] SCM, VCS, however you want to call it. [05:20] like a package management software? [05:20] Aero, open it from the applications-system tools menu. In your systray near your clock you will see a blue icon. right click, tell me if you see an icon for emerald theme manager [05:20] Synaptic? [05:20] pHreaksYcle1, Nope I think I had uninstalled it.... I checked the add panel list.... Its not there :/ [05:20] CapaH-- imwheel?...google it ..go to site and see if your mouse will work. [05:21] I see it [05:21] mattycoze, context? [05:21] danbhfive, it showed some lines saying it was setting up various things that sound important, now it's just the blinking text input at the bottom but the prompt with my username is gone and it's not doing anything [05:21] Aero, Okay, thats good. Now go to 'Select Window Manager' Make sure 'Compiz' is selected. [05:21] Antisoche: is this a laptop? [05:21] I have a APC Back-UPS XS 1000 and I would like to know if there's anything for ubuntu to alert me when UPS is running on battery?? [05:21] Selected. [05:22] JosephD: sudo apt-get update [05:22] sort of email alerts or smth [05:22] Antisoche i don't understand what you mean by the acronyms SCM, CVS, GIT etc... I'm just assuming from the documentation that bzr is simply a package management software like Synaptic [05:22] Aero, then go to 'Select Window Decorator' and make sure that 'Emerald' is selected [05:22] scunizi, No - it's a HP Pavillion. 64bit dual core Athlon something. 6400+ I think [05:22] there is no emerald [05:22] only gtk [05:22] Okay, i think thats part of the issue. [05:22] brb. [05:22] K. [05:22] I have a APC Back-UPS XS 1000 and I would like to know if there's anything for ubuntu to alert me when UPS is running on battery?? [05:23] mattycoze, Ah, sorry. Is a program for maintaining software source code, primarily. A "Source Code Management" or "Version Control System". [05:23] danbhfive, it put my command up there on the terminal, but it won't do anything [05:23] Aero, what happens if you click on Emerald Theme Manager icon in the menu? [05:23] Im wondering if its installed. [05:24] thrillERboy: get the name of that applet and sudo apt-get install "NAME OF IT" [05:24] danbhfive, oh, my mistake, must've been quite busy just without telling me [05:24] thanks Antisoche; i'm using Bzr to install zeitgeist "bzr branch lp:gnome-zeitgeist" [05:24] so yeah [05:24] clicking on it in the tray nothing happens, clicking on it under System Tools nothing happens [05:24] x_X [05:24] haha I need to be a little more patient [05:24] JosephD: so what happened? [05:24] Antisoche: found it.. on the link it specifically mentions that you can either use onboard or add on video cards but not both concurrently. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00906129&cc=de&lc=en&dlc=de [05:25] Aero, you tryed clicking Emerald Theme Manager right? Do you have it in your systems tools menu (i dont, im just curious) [05:25] danbhfive, it's still setting up alot of stuff, along with saying something about a user 'messagebus' already existing [05:25] mattycoze, "CVS" is an old standby, meaning "Concurrent Versioning System", SubVersion (svn) is it's "more modern" replacement. GIT isn't an acronym at all - it's just the name of the version that Linus Torvalds wrote, continuing his tradition of naming his software after himself... [05:25] anyone ever ran a ventrilo server? Im wondering how good the performance is on a home connection [05:25] It's Compiz Fusion Icon under System Tools [05:25] scunizi, Thanks, I guess. :( [05:25] I have it there.. [05:25] but.. when I click it [05:25] oh ok [05:25] It does nothing. [05:25] hey guys, is it true ubuntu isnt good when multiple partitions are being done? [05:25] Aerodynamic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:25] JosephD: yeah, so something clearly went wrong, with some sort of update or upgrade [05:25] Antisoche: is the add in card dual head? [05:25] epaphus: no [05:26] Oh, alright. Sorry [05:26] scunizi, I guess I should have done more research first, but who would have thought? [05:26] Aero, Okay. Lets try reinstalling it, it might be a part of the menu by default but not included. [05:26] scunizi, Nope. it's probably the same d*mn card ... [05:26] flannel u still here? [05:26] sudo apt-get install emerald [05:26] epaphus: when you say "multiple partitions are being done" im assuming you mean spreading the installation over multiple partitions, right? [05:26] Antisoche: sell it and get a card with dual output.. not that expensive [05:26] stealth-, right [05:26] danbhfive, so this should fix it then? [05:27] Alrighty, it should be installed. [05:27] Oh, emerald theme manager is there now. [05:27] Thats good. [05:27] Hey scunizi - ya wanna buy an Nvidia 8300 GS ??? [05:27] Select Emerald as your Window Decorator [05:27] flannel: are you still in here? [05:27] epaphus: then there should be no difference. Some people split their installion into a partition for '/' and a partition for '/home/' so they can upgrade easier, though [05:27] JosephD: well, stuff is being fixed :P [05:27] Aero, then click on 'Reload Window Decorator' in the menu [05:27] pHreaksYcle1, I want to know the name of the applent :/ [05:27] see if you still get the same problems. [05:27] Ah, seems to be fixed! [05:27] stealth-, by default ubuntu intalls itself on a single partition.. and swap.. right? [05:28] Awesome :D [05:28] Antisoche: naw.. I got a motherboard with 3 outputs.. vga, DVI and hdmi [05:28] * Antisoche sees it :( [05:28] JosephD: when that is finished running, run this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ [05:28] epaphus: to what i remember, yes [05:28] Thanks matt :P [05:28] In hindsight, I think that GTK cant process themes for compiz as well as Emerald can [05:28] not a problem, im amazed that i remembered that!!! its been a long time. [05:28] thrillERboy: google for the win dude. . . [05:29] thanks pHreaksYcle1 [05:29] hehe, I just installed Ubuntu today. I'm loving it, just having a bit of a rough time getting used to it all. [05:29] i installed ubuntu with a /boot on /dev/sda10. then i installed windows 7 and i lost grub. when i booted into live ubuntu and tried grub-install /dev/sda i got an error saying /boot was not found. any ideas? [05:29] thrillERboy: haha, sure. if you want ill search it for you [05:29] 5000+ [05:29] Aero, if you have any other problems dont hesitate to ask me. [05:29] danbhfive, alright, I'll let you know how that goes in jusssstt a second, it's still just zooming away on the screen =D [05:29] does ubuntu make a partition for /boot .. or is it part of /..? by default that is [05:29] Alrighty. Thanks again :) [05:29] Im no wiz, but if your just getting started I can help you with a good amount [05:30] JosephD: did you recently upgrade to 8.10 from 8.04 or something? [05:30] pHreaksYcle1, lemme try :) [05:30] epaphus: part of / [05:30] i tried making /dev/sda10 bootable but that just gave me the no "operating system not found" error [05:30] epaphus: by default it's part of / [05:30] danbhfive, no, 8.10 came with the laptop when I ordered it [05:30] how to add ultra nodes in frostwire? [05:30] i'm a noob with a problem at startup. I dont get the gui desktop instead i getjust a black screen with the $ command line. i ran startx and got a couple errors. first was xinit: no such process (erno3)...the other was xinit: connection refused (errno111) unable to connect to X server. does anybody know whats wrong here? this is a fresh install of 8.10 on a brand new comp [05:31] any ideas on what i can do? [05:31] #linux yo [05:31] it also said fatal server error: no screens found [05:31] edogzilla: are you sure the media you installed from was good? [05:31] anyone ever ran a ventrilo server? Im wondering how good the performance is on a home connection [05:32] danbhfive:i installed from the live cd [05:32] checked the integrity it was good [05:32] edogzilla: did you check the cd for errors? [05:32] danhbfive: yes no problems [05:32] edogzilla: did you try flannel's suggestion and when you get to the terminal prompt type .. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ... ? it has to be all lower case t owork [05:33] danhbfive: yes, and it did some updates and stuff. it also said that ubuntu desktop was already installed and made no changes. other than that evertyhing stayed the same [05:33] anyone? [05:34] would a fresh install work? [05:34] danbhfive, the screen just went all black and the text disappeared and I have no idea whats going on hahaha [05:34] from the cd? [05:34] edogzilla: what happens when you run: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart ? [05:34] danhbfive: i dont know i havent tried it [05:34] danbhhfive, nevermind hahahaha [05:35] SuspectZero, ;tyr this link:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub [05:35] danbhfive: I'll bet the wrong video driver got loaded or the wrong driver referenced.. have him change the xorg reference to nv or vesa and see if gdm becomes visible [05:35] i have an nvidia graphics card....could that be it? [05:36] does anyone know of a website that might list what programs use specific ports? [05:36] Hi, I was trying to learn some things with the terminal... I ended up adding a directory with multiple files in it as the root, now I'm trying to remove them but sudo rm ./testing doesn't work, what am I doing wrong? [05:37] scunizi:was that message for me? [05:37] I have a lot of network traffic from a box using port 57055 and I'm not getting much in the way of hits on google. [05:37] danbhfive, okay well I typed in the update and install things, and it says unable to retrieve items so I assume I need to hook this up with an ethernet cable? [05:37] JosephD: yeah, those commands need the internet [05:37] ryan_: use rm -r to kill directory [05:37] danbhfive, be back in a bit, I'll have to run upstairs to the router lol [05:38] doleyb: Thanks a lot [05:38] Rave1 in my case, my root would be /dev/sda10 or /dev/sda [05:38] ?

[05:48] EVERYONE: BYE U GUYS [05:48] bye bye minnie [05:48] nkei0, wired, I just hooked it up to my router [05:48] BYE [05:49] JosephD: I'm not real sure about wired, but I know iwconfig works for wireless it may show wired too. [05:49] ifconfig for wired [05:49] nkei0, so, sudo ifconfig? [05:50] JosephD: No sudo required. [05:50] mattgyver83, thanks nkei0, alright [05:50] I'm running a RAID 1 set up using intel ichr10 on an X58 motherboad w. windows, and am interested in dual booting ubuntu. That's not going to work is it.. :-) [05:50] greetings earthlings [05:50] ok issues here [05:51] What does -Eperm mean? I am seeing nothing on google [05:51] I got two IP address looking things, and a bunch of zeroes next to packets and errors [05:51] I was in here about 2 hours ago, and someone told me that if I wanted to dual boot vista and ubuntu, that I needed to install vista first on one hdd and ubuntu afterwards on the second [05:51] now ubuntu is all that boots [05:52] I just lost the game. [05:52] Does ubuntu install with a directory "New" in your starting file system? [05:52] JosephD, you just want to make sure your online? [05:52] ryan_: No [05:53] I'm having a problem with networking... However, I don't think it's related to Ubuntu, but I don't know. I set up my D-link wireless router from within Ubuntu and am using WPA with a pre-shared key. However, I am dualbooting winxp and when i restart into xp it doesn't even detect the network.... [05:53] mattgyver83, well I need to figure out why the update and install things can't retrive/fetch the items they need so I can fix that initial problem I had [05:53] nkei0: btw, nobody should use pre-shared keys [05:53] doleyb: why is that? [05:53] nkei0, that sounds like an xp proble [05:53] no, there is not a "new" folder in the first drive [05:53] nkei0: because it reduces security and is harder to configure [05:53] Try this first, tell me what happens. Sudo apt-get update [05:53] zenlunatic: I figured, I just was wondering if it could be related somehow. [05:54] like, I am looking at my vista drive and everything is there [05:54] nkei0, perhaps [05:54] any help here with dual booting? [05:54] mattgyver83: commands are case-sensitive [05:54] Martyr, are you sure they are on seperate partitions [05:54] thanks starnes [05:54] some index filed failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones have been used instead.You may want to run apt-get update to correct this [05:54] danhbfive: the link you asked for is http://us.archive.ubuntu.comintrepid/universe [05:55] well there are 2 physical drives in my compy, one is a 500 gig and the other (this one with ubuntu) is a 120 gig [05:55] I installed vista on the 500 gigger, and then ubuntu on the 120 gigger [05:55] Okay, does grub launch when you boot. Blue screen to select an OS. [05:56] JoesphD, What does it say on the line that says 'Fetched' [05:56] danhbfive: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com [05:56] should say something like, Fetched 308B in 1s (271B/s) [05:56] no... first theres the acer splash screen, then it starts booting the ubuntu drive first with a 5 second window to hit the esc key [05:56] Failed to fetch 'http://.....' [05:56] Okay, your not connected [05:56] are you still here danhbfive? [05:57] do I need to change the boot order in my bios? [05:57] how do I get it to connect? [05:57] Martyr2k6, you gotta set grub [05:57] Is it a wired connection, or wireless? [05:57] wired [05:57] er, I am a newb [05:57] so speak slowly [05:57] and in easy to understand words [05:57] :P [05:57] jeez, danhbfive left. can anyone else help me [05:57] edogzilla: that doesn't seem right [05:57] ? [05:57] Martyr2k6, post this /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:57] Martyr, when you turn the compute ron, do you get a screen that is like a terminal window with a blue background [05:58] danhbfive:ah there u are [05:58] matt, no I do not [05:58] danhbfive: whats not right? [05:58] zen, what do you mean by post? [05:58] in terminal? [05:58] Martyr, i think when you installed you chose not to install Grub or Lilo which i believe is an option. [05:58] Martyr2k6, post the file /boot/grub/menu.lst onto a link so i can see it [05:59] not sure how to do that zen [05:59] matt, is this somehting I can fix without having to reinstall vista? [05:59] edogzilla: well, it should post a pastebin like link. Maybe the sudo apt-get install pastebinit failed. Try running that alone [05:59] Martyr, yeah i dont think its a big problem. [05:59] Martyr2k6, is ubuntu the master? [05:59] Martyr, as long as you did select the right partition. [05:59] Speaking of grub... [05:59] danhbfive: it did fail i think. well, it said something like that anyway [06:00] JoesphD, run ifconfig. Tell me what your interface names (ie; eth0, eth0, something like that) [06:00] the ubuntu is on a pata drive and the vista is on a sata drive, which I thought the sata took precedence over pata [06:00] http://us.archive.ubuntu.com isn't a pastebin link? [06:00] Any idea why mine will stop the countdown to autoboot default at 2 seconds left? [06:00] yeah, when installing ubuntu I made sure to select the 120 gig drive [06:00] well you need to use grub as vista doesn't support booting linux... you gotta do chainloader [06:01] and zen how do I post whatever you wanted me to post [06:01] matt. link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask225.0.0.0 [06:01] not sure I follow, again, total noob here [06:01] JoesphD, is that all that shows? That basically means you have no connection. [06:01] i have a sound card with a cmi8738 chip and I cant get anything but a pulsing static sound from my speakers. does anyone know what I can do? [06:02] anyone know if the live cd mem test is gonna tell me if my HD is fubar? [06:02] Martyr2k6, just paste the file menu.lst to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [06:02] matt, yes that's all that shows, how can I get it to connect to the wired internet it's hooked up to at the moment? [06:02] hi, does anybody know how do i instal jre6 for 64-b arch? [06:02] edogzilla: no, its a link to the ubuntu repository [06:02] Joesph, i was wondering the same thing.... i started to think it was a different computer. [06:02] Martyr2k6, boot to ubuntu and sudo gedit /boot/grub.menu.lst highlight all then paste [06:03] i mean /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:03] danhbfive: ok, u want me to run sudo apt-get install pastebinit by itself and then post the link? [06:03] hayes_ does it happen with all apps? [06:04] could anybody help me? [06:04] matt, is there a command I can use to connect? or should it automatically happen when the cable is in? [06:04] it happens all the time whether sound should be playing or not. [06:04] JoesphD, i was gonna say try to up and down the interface but I have no idea if your on the internet why your not getting a connection. I think im missing something. [06:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/145270/ [06:04] there I hope that I did that right [06:04] danhbfive: what do i do if it fails again? [06:04] Does anyone know, is there a free IRC client that supports scripts (Like mIRC for windows) [06:04] matt, up and down the interface? [06:05] ryan_ xchat [06:05] hello guy [06:05] JoesphD, (ie: sudo ifdown eth1; sudo ifup eth1) [06:06] matt, interface eth1 not configured [06:06] how do i make an acpi event shell script? [06:06] Martyr2k6, no wonder you can't boot vista... grub doesn't know about it :D [06:06] JoesphD, yeah thats what i figured. [06:06] anybody? [06:06] hayes_ you might want to try to select a different driver, i have to remember how though ';\ [06:06] <---- NOOBSAUCE [06:06] matt, how would I go about configuring it? [06:06] rgarcia, help with what [06:06] ok so how to make it aware of it [06:06] ok matt let me know, thanks [06:07] Martyr2k6, one sec [06:07] k [06:08] i habe kubuntu 8.04 64-B arch...and i have to install jre6 [06:08] hayes_, try selecting different drivers @ System-Preferences-Sound [06:08] but i don't know [06:08] Martyr2k6, firstly do this... sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.bak [06:08] hayes_ Try ALSA first. [06:08] Martyr2k6, backup what works [06:08] Hey anyone interested, just tossin it out: Facebook is hiring a linux ninja [06:09] JoesphD, ...I dont understand how your online and not showing an interface. [06:09] I use xubuntu is it the same? [06:09] mattgyver83: got a question.. every time I shutdown. or reboot.. my system takes a minute, literally, closing some ALSA process.. how can I resolve it so it shuts down immediately? [06:09] ok done [06:09] Um, More or less [06:09] matt, im on a working laptop in this chat, and the laptop with the problem is another one [06:09] Dexi: #ubuntu-offtopic, not here. thanks. [06:09] bonez46, im not too sure. [06:10] Oh, that makes sense. [06:10] Martyr2k6, sorry i don't dual boot some i have to google [06:10] anyone know? how to resolve an ALSA issue.. where it won't close correct? [06:10] haha sorry [06:10] its cool, ultimately I would have had to do that as well if no one had helped me [06:10] JosephD, this might sound silly but... .check your eth cable. Maybe its dead [06:11] matt, the cable's fine [06:11] could the nic card be dead? [06:11] could the nic card be using eth0, not eth1? [06:12] Hi, I'm using "Separated X screen" for my Nvidia card, somehow when I click on an icon in screen 1, it always opens in screen 2(in fact everything opens in screen 2). how can I specify which screen to open it from? [06:12] Is there a simple method for chown'ing all files owned by user-a only to user-b recursively? [06:12] J_Litewski, according to him its only showing the lo connection [06:12] hmm [06:12] Basically I want to chown -R userB dir/ #only if owned by userA [06:13] JoesphD, whens the last time you got online with that machine? [06:13] wirelessly a week or two ago [06:13] well 'ifconfig eth0' showed me the ethernet details [06:13] Is it a wifi adapter, or built in? [06:13] anyone know how to tell grub about roots? it's different from other distros [06:13] built in wireless [06:13] anybody familiar with comix--the package? [06:13] JoesphD, try; sudo ifconfig eth0 down [06:14] then try sudo ifconfig eth0 up [06:14] in need of some help [06:14] Permission denied [06:14] did you sudo? [06:14] i have a sound card with a cmi8738 chip and I use xubuntu. I cant get anything but a pulsing static sound from my speakers all the time even when there should be no sound. does anyone know what I can do? [06:14] oops lol [06:14] let me know when you are ready matt, or zen or whoever is helping me [06:15] Martyr, where were we? [06:15] hayes_ are you using the ALSA driver? [06:15] I am trying to install the driver for my audigy 2 ZS sound card, but dont know how to access my BIOS [06:15] Martyr2k6, I'm stuck... i haven't been using ubuntu in weeks [06:15] matt, I typed it in with sudo and now its not doing anything just waiting for another command [06:15] How do I check? [06:15] hey guys how to install lamp on ubuntu 8.10 desktop version? I did some search, I get results for installing on ubuntu server? any good links are greatly appreciated. thanks [06:15] JoesphD, thats all it will do [06:15] matt, I was posting my boot file for grub to you [06:15] I am trying to install the driver for my audigy 2 ZS sound card, but dont know how to access my BIOS [06:16] oh so what exactly do i do now? [06:16] Guest26350, the BIOS van be accessed when your computer first boots up, it's usually F2 or something like that [06:16] you had me back up everything [06:16] Martyr, that was Zen [06:16] and said that grub couldn't see loading vista as an option [06:16] exit [06:16] oh [06:16] noob again [06:16] JoesphD, try sudo apt-get update again [06:17] same as last time [06:17] Martyr2k6, but basically your menu.lst needs to be told where vista is, which is the root= part, but ubuntu's is different from CentOS so I ddon't know... [06:17] gravy [06:17] ..guess that's a negative [06:17] so can someone help? I'm using "Separated X screen" for my Nvidia card, somehow when I click on an icon in screen 1, it always opens in screen 2(in fact everything opens in screen 2). how can I specify which screen to open it from? [06:17] Martyr, hold on i can give you an idea, let me check mine [06:17] k [06:18] how do I check if I am using the ALSA drivers? [06:18] yo somebody know an application that could help me emulate an acces point? [06:18] hayes_ when you go into your sound preferences its either set to autodetect or it will show ALSA, or ALSAmixer [06:19] hanes_, Applications/Settings?mixer [06:19] or if you got a recent distribution , it could be as a default [06:19] martyr, pastebin your menu.lst @ pastebin.com, give me the link [06:19] mattgyver83 I use xubuntu and I dont see those menu options. [06:20] It will be in your preferences menu wherever you find your keyboard, mouse, apps [06:20] hanes_, open a terminal and type xfce4-mixer [06:20] rage_: hostap can emulate an access point however most wireless cards cannot be put in the correct mode to do so [06:20] Any way to have all the desktop icons same size? And when a new item is saved to desktop, it automatically lines up beneath the previous icon, kinda like in MS? [06:20] rage_: prism2 cards for example are on of the few [06:21] *one of [06:21] mattgyver83, why is the root= on ubuntu menu.lst all cryptic, compared to redhat [06:21] Stepan, right click desktop, select Keep Aligned [06:21] matt, it just does the same thing it did last time, says it failed to download [06:22] zen, not too sure i havent used redhat [06:22] does anybody have a vista/ubuntu dual boot system working with ubuntu also available to run as a VM under vmware on vista? [06:22] (or xp really) [06:22] thanks man [06:22] mattgyver83: that is already checked, doesnt help. see, all the icons are a different size, images and pdfs are larger than folders. i dont want to manually stretch /reduce the size of each either [06:22] mattgyver83 it doesnt see the device at all [06:22] martry, check this http://pastebin.com/m30082212 [06:22] not a problem :-) [06:23] http://pastebin.com/m70f2cd1c [06:23] ill try playing with hostap, naybe i can make the thing work to an acceptable level [06:23] martyr, dont edit anything yet [06:23] Martyr2k6, there you go [06:23] not touching a thing [06:23] rage_: What wireless chipset do you have? [06:23] what? [06:23] i got a marvell [06:23] mmmm [06:23] Martyr2k6, you backed up menu.lst [06:24] i know is a piece of crap [06:24] yes, yes I did I guess [06:24] Martyr2k6, hosing grub is not a critical situation [06:24] I do not beleive there is any method of doing it with that chipset. But feel free to look around [06:24] zen, i see what you mean, mine is nothing like that [06:24] mattgyver83, yeah ;D [06:24] it is when you don't know jack about what you are doing [06:25] mattgyver83 it doesnt see the device at all [06:25] its ok , im doing it just for fun, just to make something cool out my old ibm [06:25] I tell you I was going through synaptic the other night attempting to "uninstall" unwanted files, and slowly, I watched my os become a trainwreck [06:25] Fair enough :-) [06:25] What header needs to be included to use uid in a sys_call? [06:25] JoesphD, i really dont know what else could be wrong [06:25] I wanted to look away, but couldn't bring myself to do so [06:25] so I got popcorn [06:25] Unless its a bad card [06:25] I'm going to restart my computer and see if I can get past login now [06:26] Martyr, i have no idea what the heck uuid is [06:26] oh wait n/m [06:27] uuid sounds like something macaddress related [06:27] no like a Uid for a user [06:27] see ya dudes, [06:27] Martyr, i have no idea if what im about to tell you to do is going to help you, or just set you back further but.. you could try this.. [06:27] it just may have randomly been fixed somehow [06:27] oh dear [06:28] ok lets try it, worst that could happen is that I suck it up and follow the tutorials and reinstall and update vista [06:28] which thats only 2 hours of my life, nothing on a night like this [06:29] martyr, go there ill explain [06:29] http://pastebin.com/m6d99970b [06:29] I'm there [06:29] so now it doesnt give me a wireless option at all [06:29] Add the the lines underneath the first higlight, 156-160 [06:30] i have a sound card with a cmi8738 chip and I use xubuntu. I cant get anything but a pulsing static sound from my speakers all the time even when there should be no sound. does anyone know what I can do? [06:30] on line 157, we need to put the where its located. I only know how to cheat to sorta find this out. Open System - Administration - Partition Editor.... for gods sake dont press anything after that [06:31] lol [06:31] Okay, How many ntfs file systems are shown? [06:32] sorry bathroom [06:33] matt, are you talking about on the ubuntu drive or the vista drive [06:33] ... or better yet, if you click the drop down menu @ top right does it show anything other that /dev/sda? Im not sure how this will appear in your case. [06:34] mattgyver83, he said he has two drives [06:34] dev/sda1 is my linux drive, and dev/sdb1 is my vista drive [06:34] mattgyver83, earlier [06:34] What kinds of apps is linux currently lacking in? [06:34] remember grub doesn't use /dev first [06:34] Miesco: that sort of question would be better asked in #ubuntu-offtopic [06:34] they use the bios scheme [06:34] i have a sound card with a cmi8738 chip and I use xubuntu. I cant get anything but a pulsing static sound from my speakers all the time even when there should be no sound. does anyone know what I can do? [06:34] ok under my vista drive, alls I see is unallocated, then /dev/sdb1 ntfs [06:35] Success, that got us nowhere. [06:35] so there is a 1mb is unallocated, and 465.76gb [06:35] hayes_, the ASLA drivers don't work? [06:35] lol [06:35] yeah, welcome to my life [06:36] Martyr, Im thinking that your vista partition might be the same as mine, (hd0, 0), if its the first drive [06:36] yeah it is [06:36] one sec and I will verify [06:36] i don't know xfce4-mixer doesn't see it [06:36] usser: wanna see what i came up with? [06:36] I dont think really anything will go wrong by changing it, worst that will happen is it wont boot, you will have to reboot and get into ubuntu again. [06:36] Might even just error out. [06:37] But i dont know, its a gamble. [06:37] Martyr2k6: http://paste.ubuntu.com/145276/ [06:37] flannel, whats this [06:37] Martyr2k6: Try that menu.lst [06:38] so what do I do, copy and past it into my current one?

I see what your issue is. And we'll get it all sorted out. Also, you should upgrade (within the next week) to Hardy, since Gutsy will soon be out of support. [06:56] where is at in gconf-editor that I edit keybindings? [06:56] but is it the hardy not stable version [06:56] dumb_dumb: no, Hardy is stable.

Im on broadband so it sould NOT take 15 seconds to load google [06:56] dumb_dumb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/145280/ [06:57] dumb_dumb: Thats your new sources.list [06:57] dumb_dumb: Hardy has been out for almost a year now. Its definately stable. [06:57] ok no dice [06:57] it said that it couldn't load bootmgr [06:57] press ctrl-alt-del to restart [06:57] dumb_dumb: also, 8.04 has the benefit of being supported for three years (its an LTS) on the desktop, and five on the server.

[06:58] ndshacker: not sure I can solve your problem, but are you using a static ip or dns? [06:58] yeah [06:58] hi folks :) [06:59] i just installed the proprietary nvidia driver, and upon reboot i have no video ouput at all once the OS loads [06:59] mikere: dhcp so dns i geuss [06:59] help please? [06:59] Martyr2k6: sounds like your windows bootloader is messed up some how. [06:59] I see [06:59] ndshacker: yeah, my bad on that typo [06:59] interesting [06:59] girevikmoto: sorry, no help in support channels... why are you asking to ask for help? [06:59] :D [06:59] ndshacker: was hoping perhaps there was an ip conflict that could easily be solved, but that's obviously not it [06:59] firefox refuses to start. I type 'firefox' at the terminal and it does absolutely nothing. What can I do? [06:59] mikere: but it does not change, its just not static since that takes 10$ extra a month [06:59] Is it possible to use my laptop's internal wi-fi card as an access point AND as a network adapter to another access point at the same time?

[07:01] how can I throttle my parents connection >.< [07:01] tsrk: ssh thehost thecommand > localfile [07:01] no not yet [07:01] tsrk: local. bash parses > as redirection from a local command [07:01] release 8.04 [07:01] Does anyone know like a download site for Compiz-switch for some reason it's not in my Synaptic package manager... it would make it a lot less of a pain in the ass [07:01] lstarnes, ah, ok [07:01] dumb_dumb: Alright. Then those sources are wrong. Let me give you correct ones. [07:01] mikere: about a secondand a half [07:01] ryan_: google for it, I looked for it sometime ago and it was easily accessed via google [07:02] ok sory for my mistake [07:02] :D [07:02] i`m new on linux [07:02] how do i repeal the non functional nvidia driver [07:02] allright brb, need smokes [07:02] anybody else having a completely non-responsive firefox? I like midori, opera, shiretoko, but I use firefox 3.0 all the time and need it. [07:02] ndshacker: ouch. That's brutal latency. I take it you aren't on a router, just a cable or dsl modem? [07:02] so for the interpid that not stable yet, am i right? [07:02] dumb_dumb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/145281/ [07:02] mikere: a second is brutal? [07:03] dumb_dumb: Intrepid is stable. Jaunty is not. But you might want to consider sticking with Hardy anyway, due to the LTS. [07:03] and im on a router i think? [07:03] dumb_dumb: intrepid is stable, but not long-term-supported [07:03] it s a 2wire [07:03] ndshacker: yep, I'm getting 38ms and I live out in the boondocks [07:03] newbie question: if I use > to put the output in a file that already exists, does it get overwritten? [07:03] um... maybe im reading it wrong? [07:03] tsrk: yes. >> will append [07:03] tsrk: yes [07:03] i see [07:03] tsrk: yes. you could use >> instead to add to the file rather than overwriting [07:03] mikere: 1400 ms to be exact [07:03] Is there a command to configure downloaded packages from an apt update without downloading them again? [07:03] Hi! I am running ubuntu 8.10, and I'm having an issue with my floppy drive. Namely, that it doesnt show up in /dev . The machine's bios will boot from it fine. I'm kind of stumped.

[07:05] like touch-typing? [07:05] * cellofellow likes typespeed but it's not a tutor. [07:05] could it be that my rents are torrenting? [07:05] asdfqewr: there are. gtypist is one (terminal only), I'm sure there's a GUI as well. [07:05] when i installed the nvidia driver and rebooted, i have no video output at all [07:05] mikere: im on a router, but I can network === nicholas is now known as Guest28491 [07:05] ndshacker: I got better pings than that on a 2400 baud modem back in the dark ages [07:05] I am in need of help [07:05] pls help.....any typing tutor?????

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:05] anooptp: what kind of typing tutor? [07:05] anooptp: tuxtype maybe, or ktouch. [07:06] mikere: what can cause this? [07:06] anooptp: gtypist is a terminal one too. [07:06] * cellofellow tries gtypist [07:06] ndshacker: is it only on this linux box you have problems? [07:06] Flannel, anooptp learning touch-typing gets me nostalgic, brings me back to this mario game i used to play to learn how to touch type [07:06] um.. i only have one box lol [07:06] thanks === greg_ is now known as foo_ [07:06] Flannel, that was for windows tho [07:06] my parents have one but cant check right now [07:06] how do i rollback from the proprietary nvidia driver to the original nv open source driver? when the i rebooted after installing the proprietary driver i now have no video output whatsoever [07:06] ndshacker: sorry, I gotta run, son needs to print out some bursary application stuff and needs my help [07:07] whats the program called that emulates terminals so i can keep programs running after ive logged out of ssh?

[07:08] stealth-: my parents culd be? [07:08] my dad likes to set them at night [07:09] one more thing any one here got a nice step-by-step tutorial to install xen on ubuntu hardy that works?

Maybe somone else knows or you can google it, sorry, but i have to leave sooner than i expected. Good luck [07:13] and see what drivers you're currently using [07:13] gera: then run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to update all the packages [07:13] bye [07:13] aLegendaryPengui: like I had a choice on what typing tutor my school used when I was 7 years old. [07:14] stealth-: damnation [07:14] think i learned how to type [07:14] no [07:14] the trick to typing good is to use a computer a lot [07:14] yeah [07:14] irc and forums are great [07:14] i didn't learn how to touch type numbers till my 20s [07:14] linux helped resolve that though [07:14] what's touch typing? [07:14] I need to break the habit of putting a space after every comma. [07:14] how do i do a complete uniinstall of my nvidia graphics driver? when i installed the recommended thrid party driver is messed up my whole system and now i cant get to the gui desktop.

[07:15] Flannel : i`m still got error when try to update [07:16] stealth-: apt is weak then [07:16] rbo_: heh [07:16] flannel: i figured out the problem from before...its my graphics driver. any idea how to remove it? [07:16] Hey folks, I have a small home network, 4 computers and 1 server. I installed squid and dansguardian on my server and have it configured and it works if I set the proxy manually in firefox. I am using the tomato firmware on my router, and was wondering what is the best way to make sure that all http requests on my lan go through the squid proxy? [07:16] edogzilla: Someone here will. I'm not really a big graphics guy. [07:16] no u Flannel [07:17] <_stochastic_> What's the easiest way to share files between a normal install and a VM install of Ubuntu? Is it possible to scp between them? if so, what IP do you use? [07:17] flannel: ok. can anyone here help me [07:17] ? [07:17] Well, finally broke 30wpm and <3% error rate typing numbers. [07:17] all i wanna do is uninstall my third party nvidia graphics driver from the command line [07:18] dumb_dumb: do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, and then see if you still get that error. [07:18] That's what she said. [07:19] edogzilla-- i have to go..but here is a hint... in console type envyng it will ask you to install...then go from there..good nite and good luck [07:19] no u Xcell === nicolas_ is now known as Guest7223 [07:19] ? [07:19] can someone tell me how to uninstall my nvidia graphics driver from the command line? I'm a noob and would really appreciate it plz? [07:19] Jingly: Please stop that. [07:19] is that mean i have to upgrade the distro version? [07:19] NOOOOO!! :( [07:19] I dunno. [07:19] dumb_dumb: Nope [07:19] That's what she said. [07:19] <_stochastic_>: I set up a samba share folder to transfer files b/w VM machines & host Ubuntu. Is that what you're asking? [07:19] xcell: i tried that. it in stalled but i dont have the slightest idea how to run it [07:20] erm wtf [07:20] Flannel: Did you kick him? [07:20] Shinu: I did. [07:20] What kind of IRC server shows a kick as a part O_o [07:20] <_stochastic_> polo177, well both of my OS (the virtual and the host) are versions of Ubuntu - I don't think Samba is the best way to go about that is it? [07:20] Shinu: that was a /remove, not a /kick [07:21] oh [07:21] it stops kick on rejoiners right? [07:21] Flannel: is it just me or have we been getting a lot more hecklers lately? [07:21] Shinu: it's a rare feature used only on freenode and some other networks for forcing parts [07:21] edogzilla-- then @ boot go to recovery and re-do xserver with.. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:21] Ah cool [07:21] _stochastic_, yeah, you're right my VMs are windows. I guess I don't know the best solution, but samba would work. [07:21] Shinu: mainly to combat autorejoin or confuse the target [07:21] kravlin: It ebbs and flows. Spring break and all. [07:21] flannel i still got the same problems [07:22] haha nice ^^ [07:22] <_stochastic_> polo177, what's the IP address that you give Samba to latch onto? 127.0.0.1? [07:22] xcell: cool thx. that will remove the pesky driver? [07:23] error GPG [07:23] dumb_dumb: for medibuntu? [07:23] edogzilla-- it will give you a choice of card allocation.. pick nvidia [07:23] xcell: ok, is there another step? [07:23] no i used ubuntu server 8.04 [07:23] dumb_dumb: That happens sometimes when theres some network issues. It should go away on its own sometime soon (try again tomorrow) [07:23] dumb_dumb: not network issues on your end. [07:24] edogzilla-- just re-do the card.. keep the rest the same.. [07:24] xcell: ok i will try that [07:24] edogzilla-- should work [07:24] flannel : but my network it seems ok [07:24] I just tried gentoo, lol. so thanks to all the people that have good attitudes and try to help others in this sort of channel [07:25] could it be the firewall rules? [07:25] dumb_dumb: Right, it has nothing to do with your network. It has to do with some of the archive servers having issues and lagging a little. [07:25] so there`s nothing wrong with my ubuntu installation . [07:25] dumb_dumb: correct. [07:27] since i have try to re-install my server several times for these week [07:27] and it seems that thing still occur [07:27] what's a good debugger/profiler for c++ programs for linux? [07:31] good morning [07:31] _stochastic_: sorry I'm trying to remember (I think most of this was automatic when setting up the vmware), but the vm client sees my samba share through its public address, the one the rest of the computers see on my network [07:32] why does my xorg.conf get re-written everytime I reboot/restart X? [07:32] urtutyu [07:32] <_stochastic_> polo177, okay thanks anyways I'll play around - it's good to know that it's at least feasible [07:32] _stochastic_: thats 192.168.1.31 [07:34] my question to the group is: how to resize a vmware image? XP client on ubuntu 8.04 server. I can't seem to find instructions online anywhere. [07:38] polo177, #vmware [07:39] Hello, I am using Ubuntu Hardy, I hear pop or click sounds in my audio, even since I installed a bunch of sound dev packages, I compiled ardour2.8, anyone know how to fix this? There was no pop until I compiled it. [07:39] thanks, I'm logged on there too, but nobody's responding. figured I'd put my line out here too. :) [07:40] I hear a pop sound every time I stop or start a sound. [07:40] hi, i was wondering if sed supports backreferences in ranges using patterns? [07:40] hi all. is there a command, or utility that scans the file system and removes broken sym links? [07:40] <_stochastic_> almark1, is the poping happening while you're running ardour or throughout your ubuntu system (when jack is shutdown?) [07:40] the entire system [07:40] and when jack is shutdown === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [07:41] <_stochastic_> is it happening when jack is running? [07:41] It messes with my music creation, who knows what it would do to recording. [07:41] Yes [07:41] it happens when Jack is running and when jack isn't [07:41] <_stochastic_> do you have the realtime kernel installed? is that running? [07:42] I'm not using pulse, I don't have it installed, Yes realtime kernel is running fine. [07:42] Will Safari run on Ubuntu? [07:42] <_stochastic_> almark1, do the pops happen when you're not running the realtime kernel? [07:42] I don't know, how do I check that? [07:43] The pops didn't happen at all, till this, I thought all was fine, my system is like 1 month old, at least 64studio Hardy [07:43] <_stochastic_> almark1, you need to reboot and at the time of boot press esc to get your grub menu, then select a non-RT kernel [07:43] hello === dreamkeeper is now known as Firefishe [07:43] how do i mount a dvd via a network [07:43] Hope I have it, let me check my grub menu.1st [07:44] is there a channel for ATI support with regards with dual monitors [07:44] would this be it ? title 64 Studio, kernel 2.6.29-1-multimedia-686 (recovery mode) [07:44] <_stochastic_> almark1, nope that's a 64studio install, not an Ubuntu install [07:45] Its ubuntu, Im using ubuntu hardy with 64studio [07:45] <_stochastic_> furthermore that's a beta 64studio instal [07:45] yeah I know :) [07:45] <_stochastic_> ohh [07:45] works great, till this [07:45] I should have just left it alone, it was happy [07:45] <_stochastic_> you should be asking around elsewhere [07:46] Ok, i'm off then thanks :) [07:46] <_stochastic_> almark1, it may also be useful to know which packages you installed [07:46] I keep forgetting that I have a forum to go to. [07:46] <_stochastic_> try pressing the up key in a terminal until you find that listing [07:46] Many, and they are in my bash_history too [07:47] <_stochastic_> it'll help whoever ends up troubleshooting the issue [07:47] Yep === RonaldH is now known as Ronald [07:47] maybe they have an issue with this in the forums, well thanks again. C-ya [07:48] <_stochastic_> almark1, you could also find some help on the ubuntuforums.org's multimedia production section, I know that some people there use 64studio, but betas are always dangerous [07:49] Yeah they are, but thats the fun in em, you know what your getting, and I have read many times that 64studio even the beta 3 Im using is very stable. [07:49] <_stochastic_> almark1, just so you know too (and I know you want to leave now) the 64studio kernel naming scheme lists the RT kernels with 'multimedia' as the identifier [07:49] Ah, I thought so [07:49] I don't have to leave, I'll stay [07:50] nomnomnom === silver is now known as Guest64937 [07:53] I'm still here ya know ;) [07:54] hi all, any help with this error " error: missing terminating " character"; I'm using gcc-4.2 [07:55] I have installed Jaunty Beta .. Suggest a nice and stable Download Manager with resume download support.. in vista I was using FDM ... === l3ftm1n0r is now known as leftminor [07:57] what is the difference between ubuntu 8.04 and ubuntu 8.10? [07:58] suma1→ they are different versions of ubuntu. one is 6 months older [07:59] ubuntu 8.04 has any drawbacks compare to 8.10 [07:59] Hi all. [07:59] suma1→ it's older [07:59] ok.... [08:00] I got a problem with my keyboard/flash. I can't press and at the same time, though I can press & at the same time. [08:00] suma1: 8.04 is stuck on kernel 2.6.24 and will be for quite a while [08:00] i don't think they backport hardware support [08:00] 0~ [08:00] so whatever it supports right now out of the box is it, other than add-on drivers in the repos [08:00] suma1: it's older and less stuff works, plus ubuntu 9.x is out this month, and its better [08:01] unless you have critical infrastructure or client machines running ubuntu theres little reason to stick with an LTS in most cases [08:01] doleyb, less stuff works? [08:03] Titan8990: yes, many things don't work in older versions. even in 8.10 there are some pretty bad hardware incompats. [08:03] Titan8990: since its now been a Long time since 8.x release, it's getting bad. [08:04] doleyb, linux has always been best for older hardware [08:04] doleyb, and LTS releases follow ideas of other more stable distros such as debian such as patching instead of updating [08:04] doleyb, its because more stuff works [08:05] doleyb, "not bleeding edge" is what you are saying [08:06] Titan8990: No, I'm saying that standard baseline hardware won't minimally function. [08:06] doleyb→ there's 5 months since the last ubuntu release, 8.10. there will be a new version every six months, right on schedule. [08:06] magnetron: Yeah, that's what I just said. [08:06] doleyb, standard baseline? [08:07] Titan8990: Do you know how often someone comes in here asking why his atheros isn't working? [08:07] doleyb, its not like the release of the 2.26.25 kernel magically made all hardware work [08:07] ugh, well I have my ubuntu customized the way I like it, but now I just want to get my vista working right [08:08] hello, you know how i must do to try and an URL in shell ? [08:08] doleyb, because they are new to linux [08:08] i'm still pretty new to linux [08:08] Greetings all... having some problems getting DNS to work on new install of 8.4 server... tried the forums, anyone care to lend a hand? [08:08] as am I, hence why I wish to dual boot [08:08] jean-luc→ you can use "wget" to download an URL in the shell [08:08] hi, my new hardy install is using a restricted driver called "atheros hardware access layer(hAL)" but i dont have an atheros card, can i safely disable this? [08:09] jean-luc: wget or links (or lynx) or firefox or... [08:09] takao→ well, what card you have then? [08:09] thank but no, i want to know where is rmtp://127.0.0.1 [08:09] magnetron, tp link [08:10] Anyone able to help with a DNS issue? [08:10] where is going rmtp://127.0.0.1/oflaDemo/streams [08:10] takao→ if ubuntu is *using* an atheros driver, only possibility is that there is an atheros hardware somewhere in the system. best is to let things be === hASDhaQ_ is now known as Guest53568 [08:10] !anyone | Mocs [08:10] Mocs: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

HALP [08:12] Mocs: You didn't ask a question. All you said is "It doesn't work, can I ask?" [08:12] Mocs: You'd want to explain in what manner it fails to work.

[08:16] sarmisak ill try thanks [08:16] sarmisak command not found [08:17] Martyr2k6: Maybe reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto will help you [08:17] doleyb: nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf was set to the router, so I tried changing that to the first ip of opendns... that didn't work either [08:17] what's the best debugger for linux? [08:18] ikonia hello how can i update to the 904 [08:18] a skilled programmer [08:18] digital: beat me to it... though I would have said a big hammer [08:18] nope, no help there [08:18] does anyone happen to use arch linux? [08:19] glitchd, i'd imagine the peopel on #arch do [08:19] mmk thx [08:19] #archlinux maybe... [08:19] Mocs: Normally the router supplied by comcast would perform dhcp server. [08:20] ariqs: gdb is good. also valgrind [08:20] grrr [08:21] thanks [08:21] doleyb: it is... for windows... for ubuntu I am getting no joy... dhcp is giving me a good ip, just no DNS [08:21] Mocs, have you tried forcing in the opendns servers? [08:22] Mocs: Ok, so you know your router (192.168.1.1) is functional as a nameserver, so the problem is your ubuntu isn't using it properly. [08:22] roccity: if I understand the forums, I modded /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to prepend them, no joy [08:22] doleyb: ayup... taht is about the size of it [08:23] hi- i need to install wireless drivers with ndiswrapper but there are tons of files on the windwos cd -which ones am i supposed to instal? [08:23] Mocs: if it can't get fixed here, maybe #networking will aid you. [08:24] Mocs, have you tried dhclient?

[08:26] roc: exactly [08:26] well i had arch setup with gdm on my computer then i got a bunch of new computer stuff like no motherboard nd a whole host of other things [08:26] i wanna ask some thing [08:27] takao, now that i switched everything over i cant get it to start up [08:27] moc what happens when you use your router gateway? [08:27] glitchd, what errors do you get? [08:27] Mocs, for the nameserver [08:27] roc: for the nameserver? Nothing... no resolution, still ping by IP [08:28] takao, ill get the exactly wording in a sec [08:29] takao, failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x5) [08:29] takao, then [08:29] glitchd, did you google it? does arch has some sort of recovery mode you can access? [08:29] takao, its suppose to but it doesnt want to start up [08:29] guys how do i check if my system has a built in blue tooth device ????? [08:30] glitchd, is grub the bootloader? [08:30] Mocs, in your resolv.conf file put in your router ip address then as root type "dhclient and what erver your interface" [08:30] takao, yes [08:30] glitchd, is there a recovery option in grub? [08:30] takao, ive even tried booting from a live cd nd nothing will work [08:30] takao, yes there is [08:31] takao, should i try the recovery again? [08:31] glitchd, the recovery doesnt boot? [08:32] glitchd, what do you mean you tried livecd and it didnt work? the live cd doesnt boot? [08:32] takao, im goainnna restart it again nd try to login to the recovery ag [08:32] takao, it jus wouldnt boot [08:32] howdy [08:32] glitchd, 1st make sure your hardware is connected properly [08:33] takao, it jus went to a terminal type screen [08:33] takao, yes it all is [08:33] glitchd, you have knoppix ,what live cd you use? [08:33] takao, knoppix? [08:34] glitchd, knoppix = famous live cd... [08:34] takao, i have a new kubuntu cd [08:34] ok, modded dhclient back to the router, restarting network [08:34] takao, i dont have any other ones [08:34] ugh...not kubuntu [08:34] glitchd, what VGA card? [08:34] kubuntu is aweful [08:35] er... modded resolv.conf, it is getting late... :( [08:35] jus the standard one [08:36] Guest96188: can I help you ? [08:36] takao, its not a removable card [08:36] glitchd, standard? [08:36] takao, so i guess that would make it some sort of stabdard type one [08:36] glitchd, you said you got new hardware, if nothing boots on your system after the new hardware i would suspect its not set propely [08:37] takao, i do think ur right [08:37] takao, i dont know enough i think to properly explain this to u [08:38] glitchd, apart from arch,, you have anything else there? windows? [08:38] i cant wait til jaunty [08:38] takao, no there is nothin else [08:38] loooking forwad to jaunty [08:38] i officially give up on kubuntu/kde for good [08:38] takao, like i said it a computer built from all new parts [08:39] glitchd, try another live cd- knoppix is good, you can also try bartPE (windows based), if nothing boots you have a hardware situation [08:40] thanks all... roc got me going [08:40] yeah roc! [08:40] takao, ok well ill do what i can to get another cd [08:40] is there a way i can see the name of the ethernet adapter driver in ubuntu? [08:40] takao, if there is no hardware problem then i try arch recovery mode, go into terminal and reconfigure X [08:40] thx for the attempted help [08:40] thats ok glad to help [08:40] hello, I'm in need of some help with ubuntu updates [08:41] gera: what's the issue? [08:41] takao, so if i go into terminal how would i go about reconfiguring X? [08:41] I ran the updates from the balloon, then it got stuck at the acpi-support [08:41] gera: THAT I can help with... [08:41] takao, is it simple? [08:41] takao, or is that what u needed the live cd for? [08:41] so I restarted the system, and now I'm running from the desktop cd beacause I can;'t get in [08:42] glitchd, in ubuntu it is...i know nothing about arch, if you can boot into recovery mode you dont need alive CD [08:42] gera: try disable apic in bios [08:42] I am running some installation script & I get some errors ..I dont think the script should contain them.Are some scripts OS specific? Like what runs for Red hat doesnt work for ubuntu [08:42] ok i guess ill jus try nd figure this out then [08:42] the new kernel gives me a panica error [08:42] gera: i know [08:43] gera: disable apic in bios [08:43] takao, thx again for all the help [08:43] gera: is that can't be done you should add the string "-noapic" in the boot menu [08:43] glitched if #arch is not helpful, you might want to try /g/ on 4chan, they have many arch users there ,but the degree of helpfulness varies [08:43] well I'll try that, but if it doesn't work I'llbe bothering again in a copule hours [08:44] where could i find the dell min 9 repo's with sightspeak video chat package? for ubuntu [08:45] is there a way i can see the name of my ethernet adapter that is installed in my system? [08:45] Hello, how do i change hard disk permission? [08:45] mr_boo: use this command - lspci | grep ethernet [08:46] thecommutist: it's an onboard ethernet adapter [08:46] thecommutist: prolly pci though [08:47] jamieleshaw: right click > properties > permissions [08:47] It says i need to be oot. [08:47] root [08:48] thecommutist: in fact, nothing was listed [08:49] ? [08:49] jamieleshaw: run nautilus with root privileges - gksu nautilus [08:49] thecommutist: but i got a IEEE 1394 firewire adapter listed [08:49] mr_boo: try - lspci | grep Ethernet (note the capital E) [08:50] are you american? [08:50] thecommutist: what a fool i am, many thanks [08:50] mr_boo: it's ok! i make the same mistake all the time! :-) [08:51] hi can i get assistance using ndiswrapper plz!!!!!! [08:51] anyone could explain to newbee in simple terms why there is no rules listed in iptables but my ssh is listenning to port 22 for a connection? [08:52] emoXodus: i'll try! [08:52] try? [08:52] what? [08:52] is anyone here? [08:52] here i ma [08:53] emoXodus: shoot! i'll try to help! [08:53] i guess not [08:53] shoot? [08:54] thecommutist: My Other question is how do i login as root? [08:54] jamieleshaw-> you don't use sudo [08:54] jamieleshaw: r u running gnome or kde? [08:54] jamieleshaw: you shouldn't in most cases [08:54] jamie, create a root account [08:55] that's the best way to log in as a root [08:55] thecommutist: gnome [08:55] no sudo after that [08:55] linch-> no that is extremely unsafe [08:55] quibbler, no it's not [08:55] !root [08:55] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:55] I'm well awear it's unsafe. [08:56] linch: it is [08:56] then u can go to Administration > Login Window > Remote tab > Allow local system administrator login, but i guess u'll have to create a root account before that [08:56] are you taking about logging in from the net? [08:56] linch: from anywhere [08:56] lstarnes, there is a difference [08:56] linch: a normally harmless command run as root can do a lot of damage [08:57] if you are on your local machine doing some installation then go on and log in as a root [08:57] no problem with that i guess [08:57] linch: it is still safer to use sudo [08:57] gaain i repeat making a root login is unsafe use sudo [08:57] !sudo [08:57] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [08:58] jamieleshaw: just curious, what do u need a root login for? [08:58] lstarnes, if you're paranoid, then yes [08:58] ;-) [08:58] Nothing, I just wanted to know how for the knowledge of it. [08:59] but i wouldn't worry so much about 5 minutes being on the root account [08:59] linch-> do not give unsafe advice ...what you yourself wish to do is your business! [08:59] hello [08:59] qubbler, i stand corrected [09:00] quibbler, back to my question though [09:00] we stuck on a debatable point on ##linux so can somebody try to help us out here [09:01] if you can explain to me teh question i've posed 4 minutes ago [09:01] linch-> repeat please [09:01] ubuntu livecd in persistent mode with a 750 Mb casper-rw loopback file on a usb drive. trying to install a 500 Mb app. not sure i have enough room for it. how to check? how to get more space? and why can't i access the usb drive directly anymore? [09:01] have anybody tried using permisions on fat32 partitions? [09:01] is there an easy way to upgrade a 32bit server install to 64bit? [09:02] ubuntu_nb_42, you can't install things on a livecd, you would essentially be installing it to your RAM [09:02] cloexhl: what's the issue? [09:02] quibbler, it's about iptables rules; if there are no rules set --there all packets should be dropped-- right? [09:02] cloexhl, asking on different channels isn't going to make fat32 learn ACLs [09:02] Titan8990: even with the "casper-rw" loopback file? it doesn't give me "hd" space? [09:03] i mean, the incoming packetes [09:03] Titan8990: if it worked with me, then there's something wrong [09:03] ubuntu_nb_42, don't know... check df -h [09:03] thecommutist: the question was about permissions on fat32 partitions [09:03] have anybody besides me actually tried this? [09:03] linch-> i imagine it depends on how your firewall is set up [09:04] cloexhl, why not read some documentation on FAT32 instead of asking the same question over and over until you get the answer you want? [09:04] cloexhl: tried what? can u list the command? [09:04] quibbler, let's just say it is like i said [09:04] hi, whats the command to renew ip ? [09:04] big_chill, dhclient INTERFACE [09:04] quibbler, so if that's the case why my sshd gets a connection from the outside? [09:05] big_chill, err with sudo: sudo dhclient eth0 [09:05] thecommutist: chmod o-rwx /mnt/win_e/sensetivedata [09:05] linch-> port 22 is used to ssh login so I imagine it should be available [09:05] quibbler, that i know [09:06] is "rootfs" changed when using a "casper-rw" loopback file? or is it using ram? [09:06] Titan8990: i already read and i see your point so iam trying to explain why it worked with me [09:06] linch-> so what is the problem [09:06] quibbler, shouldn't it be a rule for that in iptables? [09:06] quibbler, if i iptables -L -- there is nothing in there [09:07] how does one reset the kde desktop 4.x to defaults? [09:07] cloexhl: is that not supposed to work with fat32? why? [09:07] Titan8990, thanks, i get no DHCPOFFERS - is that a router problem or ubuntu or either? [09:07] hello, I cannot get into ubuntu, can someone help me? [09:07] thecommutist: so are you saying that it should work? [09:07] gera: What ubuntu do you want in? [09:07] quibbler, i'm newbee, so forgive me for posing maybe a stupid question [09:07] thecommutist, fat32 A) has no concept of file permissions B) especially has no concept of unix permissions [09:07] linch-> i don't use ssh, so i 've never investigated ..itables i configure with firestarter [09:07] cloexhl, hes saying he really knows nothing about it [09:08] Titan8990: how does it matters? as far linux is concerned, it's justt another device, isn't it? i could be wrong here! [09:08] Titan8990: you're talking about the general technical issue here, but i know that fat32 don't undergo unix permissions however my question is why did it work? [09:08] Come from mobile hard disk copy of the things why I do not have permission prompt [09:09] quibbler, got it [09:09] while i make [09:09] is it me or youtube is down [09:09] Thanks For Your Help [09:09] Titan8990: and since linux deals with everything as files so why wouldn't it work? [09:09] cloexhl, I think you were mistaken [09:09] thecommutist: Permissions are stored in the disk's filesystem. If the filesystem is fat32, there is no place to store permissions. [09:09] @Unirgy i think its you =) [09:09] quibbler, why do you use ubuntu, and not just debian lenny? [09:09] Unirgy, it's just you [09:10] [09:10] How to resolve this problem [09:10] Heimdall: ok, it's not me, it's my computer :P [09:10] cosoal, what problem? [09:10] ok guys, let's get down to business, can anybody just grab a fat32 flash memory and try permissions with it? [09:10] thecommutist, linux could care less what the format is, and it will try to chmod it however, it won't work because it is not supported by the filesystem [09:10] Come from mobile hard disk copy of the things why I do not have permission prompt [09:11] linch-> i have lenny in virtualbox and i look at it from time to time the last couple of weeks [09:11] but what would you think if you get this when you go http://www.youtube.com: Invalid URL | The requested URL "/", is invalid. | Reference #9.276b1160.1239005351.0 [09:11] hey guys, i tried to open "Update Manager" to, well, update? and I got the following error: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

[10:33] monostone: should be ok, have you tried telling something like vlc or mplayer to read the disk raw rather than attempt to mount it [10:33] ActionParsnip: good idea, ill give videolan a shot right now [10:36] can i run a red hat specific script on Ubuntu [10:36] by any means [10:37] how can i save and exit vi and how can i exit without saving? [10:38] ppp0: I think exit without saving is :q! and save is :w [10:38] ppp0→ first of all, use vim instead of vi [10:38] ppp0, save and exit is :wq [10:38] ppp0 :wq - write and quit [10:38] ppp0→ "save and exit" = ":wq" [10:38] I get "update-menus[23401]: Script /etc/menu-methods/translate_menus returned error status 1." on every installation/updation, any idea how can I fix this? [10:38] just use nano, ctrl + x, y, enter [10:39] ActionParsnip: but first, he needs to get out of vi :) [10:39] so how can i exit without saving? [10:39] ppp0 :q [10:39] ppp0: :q! to exit without saving, :wq to save and exit. [10:39] grawity: close the terminal, or tab [10:40] as long as the file has been saved [10:40] ActionParsnip: ...and we already told him to use :q! and :wq for that. [10:40] anyone here on the west coast? [10:41] there is something strange in the sky over the pacific ocean [10:41] :q! [10:41] Hey Guys [10:41] it looks like a straight line of light [10:41] Hey Guys, I'm new just wanted to say hi. [10:41] what is the equivalent of whatprovides for apt-get [10:41] canuck1: this is ubuntu support, don't start offtopci discussions. [10:42] ok [10:42] :P [10:42] anyone? what is the equivalent of whatprovides for apt-get ? [10:42] hmm [10:42] Hello, Is there a way i can test for compatibilty for new latops before buyiing one? [10:43] jamieleshaw: check out the HCL against the hardware in the laptop you want to buy [10:43] try the live cd [10:43] jamieleshaw: if possible go to your shop with a liveCD and try to boot it [10:43] vikrant: apt-file [10:44] vikrant: to see what files are in what packages [10:44] What is HCL? [10:44] hello, I get following error when compiling, any suggestion how to deal with it would be appreciated /usr/include/bits/fcntl2.h:51: error: call to __open_missing_mode declared with attribute error: open with O_CREAT in second argument needs 3 arguments [10:44] hardware compatibility list [10:44] !hcl [10:44] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [10:44] Thanks For Your Help [10:45] whts the release date for ubuntu 9.X [10:46] vikrant: april 23rd: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule === root is now known as Guest47125 [10:46] ActionParsnip: no luck, my system reads it as a blank DVD+R disc. Im getting the feeling it has something to do with my device. Im looking into it [10:47] is a fresh upgrade recomment over an apt-get upgrade [10:47] recommended* [10:47] monostone: What was the burning speed? Consider reburning at 1x [10:47] vikrant, it depends [10:48] vikrant, and you upgrading to a new version or just upgrading packages? [10:48] do version upgrades using apt-get still break things [10:48] new version [10:48] vikrant: can you ask your question again? I just join the channel [10:48] hey guys, is it possible to play a first person shooter game if my GFX driver isent installed? [10:48] vikrant, fresh install is recommended [10:48] do version upgrades using apt-get still break things [10:48] ok [10:48] vikrant, many people upgrade successfully though [10:49] vikrant, but this is why I push the idea of a /home partition [10:49] Steffen: do you have ATI or NVIDIA? [10:49] can Ubuntu and Fedora share a common /home? [10:49] um, help :) [10:49] mnemo: i got a ATI radeon 9200Se [10:49] aa_: ?? [10:50] I have inherited a box with a firewall [10:50] vikrant, they can, I would highly advise against it [10:50] but I can't find any running iptables or anything, is it in the kernel? [10:50] steffen: then I think you should try the out-of-the-box open source driver [10:50] does the /boot partition have to be on a primary partition ? [10:50] I know there is an firewall on the box, but ps, shows nothing running that looks like a firewall [10:50] mnemo: how do i do that ? [10:50] mnemo: sorry, I was being silly [10:51] aa_, iptables ? [10:51] aa_: type sudo /sbin/iptables -L [10:51] vikrant, no, it can be chainloaded to an extended partition [10:51] vikrant, it saves some hassle [10:51] vertx: yes, loads of stuff in there, so I am running iptables? [10:51] cuz that wld restrict me to just 4 linux distros [10:51] each primary for boot [10:51] aa_, its called netfilter, its not a process, its part of the kernel [10:51] steffen: thats what you have when you install ubuntu by default... so just try to launch the game... if you get good FPS etc then dont install any other driver [10:51] aa_: yes you are [10:51] is it not possible to make a fs with gparted on a lvm volume? [10:52] aa_, iptables is a front-end for netfilter [10:52] is there an app in ubuntu to backup a complete website with local links ect? possably a firefox addon? [10:52] ok, my next problem is that the iptables script is generated using fwbuilder? but there is no gui on the box, so should I modify the fwbuilder xml file and run *something* to compile it, then restart iptables? [10:52] vikrant, you only need 1 boot partition [10:52] vikrant, for as many linux distros as you want [10:52] aa_ : remove with sudo iptables -F; iptables -X ; iptables -Z [10:52] i read sharing /boot is not recommended [10:52] vikrant, that something that it is very recommended to share.... [10:52] oops [10:52] aa_: use fwbuilder on a box with a gui [10:53] aa_: fwbuilder can move rules onto machines remotley [10:53] a yum update /apt-get update wld break the kernels [10:53] ikonia: ok, so I can edit in the gui, compile to the real iptables script then push to the server then what? [10:53] it wldnt knw which one to look for to upgrade [10:53] aa_: pretty much [10:53] vikrant, it wouldn't break the kernels [10:53] ikonia: yes, but what is the last step? [10:53] vikrant, it may incorrectly write your menu.lst though [10:53] vikrant: a shared /boot is the only real way to manage a multiboot linux system [10:53] mnemo: allright cheers [10:54] ikonia: restart iptables? [10:54] aa_: then start the iptables daemon with the rules you've pushed [10:54] ok thanks === aurel42 is now known as [4-tea-2] [10:54] wherabouts is netfilter/iptables configured to say where it reads its script from on startup? [10:55] aa_, its configured via the iptables command [10:55] ah [10:55] so this is not a traditional /etc/init.d thing going on? and how would it know on startup? [10:55] aa_, it has really good documentation too... let me grab it [10:56] Titan8990: ok, great, thanks [10:56] aa_, its built in to the kernel, things in /etc/init.d are in userspace [10:57] doleyb: i will try that and upgrading my kernel as suggested, but i feel the kernel is not really the problem and if burning at a lower speed DOES make it readable on my home box, i definitely have to upgrade my drive :P [10:57] [GNOME] System > Administration > Network Tools > 'Lookup' > Network address=www.belug.de > Information type=Default Information prints: "Adress Type=IN". What does mean 'IN'? [10:57] sudo apt-file update - is taking awefully long........ [10:57] aa_, http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html [10:57] !ufw | aa_ [10:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw [10:57] issue no1: i have 3 partitions: C (10 GB), D (135 GB) and E (6 GB). I had Windows XP installed on C and needed to get rid of it. Since i couldn't get my hands on a XP installation CD so i can format C, i used a Windows 2000 SP 2 one. All went good, detected properly all 3 drives and after i selected the C partition followed by the format command, it started formatting the entire hard disk. [10:57] everytime someone talks so dirty i tend to think it's a fake profile [10:57] With Hiren's Tools i managed to recover the partition tables + data from D, E drives and running Ubuntu Hardy Heron Live CD i have chopped C in two: ext2 and a "swap" of 1.6 GB. [10:57] Installation went succesfull, but after i logged on Ubuntu, recognized only the E partition. How can i, using Ubuntu, recover the entire D drive ? [10:57] aa_, there is another less complicated (but also less powerful) frontend to netfilter/iptables called ufw, you may want to look in to that [10:58] Desen, that is not how devices are named in linux [10:59] Titan8990: ok thanks [10:59] Desen, and you should be aware that Hiren's is pirated software [10:59] for now, trying to work out how the dude hooked in the fwbuilder-generated script into iptables [10:59] i didnt know that, i am newbie regarding working with/in Ubuntu [10:59] something must happen at boot-time to tell it to readipt I think [11:00] hello!! my sound isn't working when i enable ALSA. OSS works, but i find it primitive as only one application can be used at a time. can i reset ALSA or something? [11:00] could someone send a memo to gera and tell him to try the "-noapic" option [11:00] Titan8990, how can i recover the big partition (D) and its data ? [11:00] he couldn't disable apic in his bois [11:00] *bios [11:01] Desen, restore from your most recent backup [11:01] Desen: which fs was it [11:01] !info testdisk [11:01] testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.9-1.1 (intrepid), package size 1196 kB, installed size 3768 kB [11:01] is it true it much harder to recover date frm ext* [11:02] v/s vfat [11:02] vikrant, don't know, everyone should have backups anyways [11:02] ideally [11:02] :) [11:02] vikrant: I think journaling file systems might be more complicated.. not sure about ext2 vs fat [11:03] Desen, you might have better luck with #windows since you are trying to recover a windows partition [11:03] yes Titan8990 [11:03] Titan8990, don't want to turn back to windows [11:04] vikrant, the D partition was formatted using NTFS [11:04] Desen, then why the need to recover it? [11:04] after 4 days of hacking with iptables... i got i all working - then, i rebooted the linux box - i rerun my iptables sh script - and suddenly the forward.masquerading rules don't appear to be working... what could i have done? http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=2547 [11:04] does ubuntu have net.eth0 package or it only has Network manager? [11:05] Natanaiel, net.eth0... like the init script for gentoo? [11:05] Titan8990 on D i have 130 GB of documentaries, music, work documents, pictures and other priceless data [11:05] Desen, that really should have been backed up [11:06] Titan8990: yes [11:06] ola [11:06] Desen, I would recommend refraining from using the computer and the drive until you have an effective strategy for recovery [11:06] Desen: my experice recovering windows filesystems is that its much much more effective and easier to do it frm a windows machine [11:06] I need javasupport for my browser, which package should I install? [11:06] Natanaiel, the equivalent in debian is /etc/init.d/networking [11:06] !java | spaceninja [11:06] spaceninja: 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 [11:06] Natanaiel, and it reads from /etc/network/interfaces [11:07] Natanaiel, it doesn't use seperate init scripts like gentoo it just uses the config file to specify the interfaces [11:07] too much hassle [11:07] does anyone know how to limit games to be available only for some accounts on Ubuntu? [11:07] ok, tnx Titan8990 [11:08] spaceninja, too much hassle? you add a repo and install.... [11:08] hi i have an "unknown" wireless card which i found in "network tools" how can i make it a known device? [11:08] Natanaiel: was that message for me? [11:09] zealiod: which message? [11:09] Natanaiel: obviously not... [11:11] can i plz pm someone that has experience with ubuntu and networking?

[12:10] merseyless, no nothing [12:10] as of it would probably be under power saving [12:10] i got this bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/123773) on my server ubuntu 8.10 i can't get it fixed trying for weeks allready [12:10] when someone has a second, have a very basic problem with installing :) [12:10] give me a second to look myself [12:11] merseyless, ok , waiting [12:11] i got this bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/123773) on my server ubuntu 8.10 i can't get it fixed trying for weeks allready === fabio is now known as biscazziere2 [12:11] dkearns: easiest if you just ask your question to the channel directly :-) [12:12] merseyless, this happens on notebook [12:12] wait, explain... [12:13] the hard drive suspends itself when you run notebook!?! [12:13] Thanks :), trying to install server edition on a box here. - getting unable to mount cdrom, i installed fine onto a vm box using image, physical seems to fall over [12:13] hey when i do ifconfig -a i can't see the top of it how do i (scroll) up i ame in ubuntu server 8.10 [12:13] merseyless, no NO, , when i want suspend it takes lnger than usualy on windows [12:13] hey when i do ifconfig -a i can't see the top of it how do i (scroll) up i ame in ubuntu server 8.10 [12:14] merseyless, do you understund me [12:14] ah... [12:14] *dawning comprehension* [12:14] zilleplus: ifconfig -a | more [12:14] dkearns: probably a problem with the burn process. might be necessary to make another. [12:14] dkearns: you don't even get to the installer menu? there's an option to verify the disk itself. [12:15] btw im doing a bit of stalling cus my ubuno is booting [12:15] ive tried 4 cds now, burnt on 3 drives. Im just re-downloading the image now incase something quirky happened [12:15] zilleplus: ifconfig -a | more how do i enter " | " on an azerty keybord [12:15] dkearns: interesting. how far do you get in the installation procedure? the system just fails to come up at all? [12:16] merseyless, maybe killing process isnt fast enough [12:16] language appears, english, install server edition, detecting hardware, unable to mount cdrom, retry yes/no - yes gives same error, no gives red screen and back to the steps for install menu [12:17] dkearns: are you given an option to verify the install disk? also, does a regular "desktop" install work? [12:17] sipior: there's an option to do that when you boot from the disc [12:18] Regular desktop did install, im just rebooting box now to check for validate disc *hangs head in shame* [12:18] Thanks grawity it work using ASCI-code for | [12:18] wtv: yes, i know. that's why i'm asking if they have got that far...

[12:20] palmje thanks. it was a blank screen before, really annoying. [12:20] killing the process??? im thinking the problem is in the timing in the settings... [12:21] :) Good plan, is there any easy way to add in the parts i want? or shall i just ap-get what i need as i need? [12:21] its intended to be a freenac box [12:22] Being in this again makes me want to go find my old mud! - but thanks for the ideas :) [12:22] dkearns: the only real difference is in the default kernel that is used, and the default set of installed packages. you can indeed grab anything you like via apt-get. [12:22] merseyless, where can i change timing [12:22] hmmm [12:22] anyone know a building game hmm setllers like? [12:22] dont think you can [12:22] ...

[12:56] grkblood -> compare their route table [12:56] grkblood: no idea, I always set my full network setup manually for static IPs. maybe its a "feature" as yuo will get zero info from DHCP. If you set your system to dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces then set the IP address the remainder of the settings will most likely be gained via dhcp [12:56] http://zyniker.mybrute.com/ [12:56] SliderMan: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts if you wish to edit it [12:56] if i paste you my lsusb can you tell me whats my wlan driver?

I think my learning curve will be much better if i can use a graphical interface ot manage those. is that available or are all server fucntions only available by command line? [12:58] ActionParsnip: thanks a lot [12:58] grkblood: if you edit the files you need to restart networking to appply them [12:58] badboy_: better ;) [12:59] grkblood: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [12:59] ifconfig wlan0 down === tuna is now known as spicy_tuna [12:59] ActionParsnip: as it turns out, my mouse has gone bad. i tried running it in other OS's but doesnt work. thanks :) [12:59] wtv: np bro [13:00] I have an interesting situation.

[13:28] the gateway was screwed up [13:28] jrib: yeah i did. good jobs. what run level is boot on ubuntu? [13:28] jrgp, correct [13:28] How can I find the replacement of libfilesys-diskfree-perl package?

Inside that you have a file called "rules". If you read the contents of that file, you will know how it is compiled [13:29] gr8: sorry, I can't help you there, maybe someone more experienced than me might be able to [13:29] gr8: why don't u copy it to your home folder under linux? [13:29] * milligan_ hugs jrib [13:29] SliderMan: http://autopackage.org/faq.html#2_5 see if that helps. I've never messed with autopackage (nor do I want to) === jrgp is now known as JackWade [13:30] milligan_: :) [13:30] grkblood: yes. i'm trying to see what you can and cant do [13:30] Good morning everyone [13:30] jrib, so, basicly, I can add any compile option to that rules file, do a ./configure, make && make install, and I'll have an equal install, only with the extra setting enabled ? [13:30] okey6661: the ping works .google.com (209.85.229.147) [13:31] I have a problem with FIrefox: When I bookmark a page it dissapears after a restart firefox [13:31] badboy_: your internet connection is working, while logged in type: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop", however, this will install the ubuntu desktop, if you don't want this there are alternatives [13:31] milligan_: nope, you want to build the package the debian way [13:32] !packaginig > milligan_ [13:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about packaginig [13:32] liar. [13:32] !packaging > milligan_ [13:32] milligan_, please see my private message [13:32] milligan_: but if you read the earlier link about grabbing the source, it tells you the command to run to rebuild the package [13:32] gabriel, try creating a new profile [13:33] okey6661: reading state information donw, ubuntu-desktio is already the newest version [13:33] !packaging > Eledran [13:33] carpii_>how can I do that? [13:33] badboy_: then type "startx" and see what happens [13:33] milligan_: erm, you also want to make sure you increment the version and append something like ~milligan to the end of the version string. That way apt doesn't keep bugging you about upgrading the package [13:33] jrib i think its removing it, thanks. [13:34] jrib, thanks mate. Lots of nice info :) [13:34] milligan_: « dch -i » to increment version [13:34] * jrib stops [13:34] connection refused errono 111: unable to connect to x server, xinit no such process (errno3): server error [13:35] okey6661: connection refused errono 111: unable to connect to x server, xinit no such process (errno3): server error [13:35] jrib, I suppose I'm better of making some sort of workaround for my problem, since upgrading packages is going to be hell if I change them. [13:35] jrib, or point a gun at a dev member to fix the package so it can support all options. [13:35] returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. what does dis error means === Mr_Orange|AWAY is now known as Mr_Orange [13:36] milligan_: well once you do it one time, it shouldn't be too bad. The package isn't going to get updated every week [13:36] gr8: paste the output of « groups » [13:36] In my Update Manager, an update is listed that I can't click. What is the problem? [13:37] badboy_: try "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start " [13:37] Mr_Orange: no idea, but does apt work ok in a terminal? [13:37] It seems to work ok. The other updates that showed up could be selected, just not "dvd-slideshow" [13:37] Mr_Orange: try to install that update using apt-get [13:38] okey6661: it says starting Gnome display manager, then it reverts bad to prompt [13:38] Mr_Orange: Held back for some reason? === Guest24438 is now known as Jaro [13:38] I figured I would try that, I just wanted to see if it was a known issue or had a reason behind it.

I have used the alternate disk several times [13:39] Mr_Orange: bugs.ubuntu.com is the place to look for know issues we deal in kludge and hammers here :) (not really (most of the time)) [13:39] badboy_: I have to go, I will leave you to ActionParsnip [13:40] badboy_: also check your xorg.log.0 [13:40] where my DE selection is stored? [13:41] Lint01: ~/.dmrc iirc, but you should just use gdm to change it [13:41] jrib: not 3? [13:41] zealiod: try « runlevel » [13:43] jrib: interesting, yeah - good good. [13:43] ActionParsnip: I cannot get that character | on my pc keyboard :( [13:43] hey [13:43] badboy_: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | less [13:43] exit [13:43] q [13:44] badboy_: do you meann ~ (tilde) [13:44] shantanu: try /exit === McKnight is now known as mk_mike [13:45] Hi, I'm new to ubuntu.

[14:38] Ubersoldat: ok, that's what I tried and what one would do in C++ too. [14:38] don't think so [14:39] HI all, new to ubuntu and I also want to start learning C. Is there anywhere that has a full tutorial to start me off, which includes where to get and how to install the compiler and what to write the code in and such [14:39] hey guys, using the command prompt.. what files can I cat to know the ubuntu version? [14:39] all settings are standaard [14:39] zilleplus: then you're probably running network manager [14:39] epaphus: try "cat /etc/issue" [14:39] !compile > Jimi_Neutral [14:39] Newbee, read a c++ book [14:39] Jimi_Neutral, please see my private message [14:39] wath do i to check it [14:39] Oh, I had a space between variable = function. sorry. I am not used to focus on spaces. (In C++ I liked having spaces around = . It was more readable) [14:40] Ubersoldat: ? does that help with bash skripting? [14:40] zilleplus: can you shut down all the interfaces on the machine with "sudo ifdown -a" [14:40] Newbee, you're asking c++ questions === morice-net is now known as morice-Training [14:40] done [14:40] !version | epaphus [14:40] epaphus: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [14:41] Ubersoldat: no, he's not. [14:41] Ubersoldat: I wanted to use a bash function in a bash script and I tried it the C++ way because I have a bit experience with C++ / C functions. That's all. [14:41] Ubersoldat: i think it's more of a bash question [14:41] strike :) [14:41] Newbee: If you need specific help with bash scripting please ask in #bash, they will be able to help you better. [14:41] And I already answered he's question [14:41] wath do i do now [14:42] zilleplus: all right, you said eth1 was the device your server was using? [14:42] Hmm ty pici but that doesnt look like a tutorial on programming in C [14:42] Pici: ok, I'll try that. Thanks [14:42] yes [14:42] hi [14:42] zilleplus: first, verify that the routing table is empty (/sbin/route -n) [14:42] empty [14:42] Jimi_Neutral: Its not. Its just to help you get started compiling software. The folks in ##C should be able to help you get started with programming. [14:43] Newbee: given a function foobar, you'd do "X=$(foobar(any args))" [14:43] at least that's how i understand Ubersoldat ;) [14:43] zilleplus: all right, let's bring up eth1: "sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.101 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" [14:43] whatever! [14:44] cannot assign requested address [14:44] Goal: Remotely manage linux machines that are in use by others in GUI, for at least some things. I'm SSHing into a few just fine, but want to run some GUI apps, which I can't even think of what they are at the moment... [14:45] same error with dhcp an staic address [14:45] zilleplus: bloody network manager. okay, does "ps aux | grep Manager" return anything? [14:45] Pici, ok ty === loffe_ is now known as loffe [14:45] yes route 36227 0.0 0.1 2016 556 tty1 S+ 15:45 0:00 grep manager [14:46] zilleplus: that's the only one? then that's not the problem. [14:46] zilleplus: you prepended the sudo, right? [14:46] ooh [14:46] i ame root login [14:47] zilleplus: does ifconfig report any interfaces up? [14:47] !backup [14:47] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [14:47] nothing [14:47] zilleplus: could we try eth0 instead? are you sure it was in fact eth1? [14:48] yes but i want to try [14:48] Hi, is there a way to debug the install in Ubuntu. I'm using the ... I guess it's the command-line (blue background) install but it is not able to download anything from the Ubuntu archive. It says it got an IP from the DHCP server though, so I'm really confused. [14:49] sipior i got to say if i do ifconfig -a i can see eth0_rename [14:49] and bit junk but no address [14:49] if i use th0 ots says no inerface [14:49] zilleplus: well that's important. can you remove the interface with "sudo ifconfig eth0_rename down"? [14:49] so it is eth1 i need to use [14:50] done [14:50] zilleplus: can you now bring up eth1, as before? [14:50] Is there any Text editors that don't fade out and not respond i am only opening a 1mg text file id hate to have to open my 50mb + databases in a hurry? [14:50] cannot assign requested address [14:51] its like my server doesn't want to see my router anny more [14:51] eternal: tried vim? [14:51] zilleplus: try another address. pick 192.168.0.150 (assuming that doesn't conflict with anything) [14:51] i reinstalled a wef time but still same problem [14:51] have you got any Mandriva, Fedora, Ubuntu or other GUI Linux video in 1024x768 and 24, 25 or 30 fps? [14:51] jrib: ima look at it now ty [14:52] have you got any Mandriva, Fedora, Ubuntu or other GUI Linux video in 1024x768 and 24, 25 or 30 fps? I am making movie about Open Source and Free Software [14:52] hi [14:52] cammand not found with ping i get network unreachable [14:52] i think in this case im going to use virtualenv, it would be nice for me to have a script users of our code could use to get everything ready for a build so im thinking using virtualenv fits nicely with that/part [14:52] zilleplus: command not found? you just used it a minute ago... [14:52] i found something intresting about a bug in ubuntu server 8.10 i sende link [14:52] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/123773 [14:53] zilleplus: that's funny, i was just reading the same page [14:53] Can anyone recommend an IRC client that allows to have a server running so I can detach the client when I want? Not irssi+screen. Something with a GUI. [14:53] i tryed that [14:53] i works exactly as he say's but haven't got internet [14:53] can someone tell me how i can get rid of my repos list and put only ubuntu ones in its place.... i have a server from ovh and its not giving me the propper ubuntu kernel [14:53] still same problem network unreachable [14:53] gouki: how about Xchat/KVirc/whatever + a bouncer (znc)? [14:54] zilleplus: wait, but did it allow you to assign the address to eth1? [14:54] i saw today this command dmesg | tail [14:54] grawity, let me look into znc. Good idea :) [14:54] TADS, edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list [14:54] TADS, and comment the ones you don't want [14:54] allow ?? didn't do anny thing special [14:54] is there a qq for linux? [14:54] zilleplus: looks at the last few lines of th kernel ring buffer [14:55] just ifconfig eth1 192.... [14:55] ubersoldat: is there a list of ubuntu repos i cant find anything online [14:55] zilleplus: the command "ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.150 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" did this return an error? [14:55] wow thats perfect brought me right to this room [14:55] I can pastebin mine if you want, is a default install [14:55] my friend wants to use the origianl qq (chinese like icq) becaues there seem to be some game in it [14:55] i have installed mplayer. but when i trying to install the codes for rmvb. it's comes out error "Package w32codecs has no installation candidate" [14:55] ok [14:56] cannot assign requested address [14:56] !medibuntu | benchew [14:56] benchew: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [14:56] How can I restart the network inside the shell provided by the Ubuntu command-line installer?

[14:58] jamalfanaian: but there's dhclient, right? [14:59] ubersoldat: ahh koool ok thanks i have all ftp.ovh.net ones [14:59] dschulz: I just found it [14:59] zilleplus: do you have the package "wireless-tools" installed? [14:59] xi_: here's some info might come helpful: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [14:59] I'm getting an IP address, and I can ping my gateway and other computers within the network... but I can't ping anything in the net... say google.com [14:59] Or even it's IP address [14:59] don't know don't think so [14:59] oCean_: one more thing i'm trying to get virtualbox to work [14:59] my wiki server is down for some reason, and i want to restart my webserver. i typed 'service httpd restart' and it says The program 'service' can be foudn in the following packages: * debian-helper-scripts * sysvconfig. [14:59] TADS, that's right, mine are for Spain, but there shouldn't be any problem on changing the "es" for something else like "de" [15:00] i installed it via add/remove [15:00] jamalfanaian: maybe you don't have a gateway configured [15:00] zilleplus: could you try "sudo apt-get remove wireless-tools" anyway? [15:00] but like i sayed i tryed it tath thing from the bug it gives same problem nothing is fixed [15:00] ok thanks [15:00] Barnicle_, don't use service .... etc [15:00] dschulz: I added it to /etc/network/interfaces but I couldn't figure out how to restart the interface so the changes take effect [15:00] its saying something about vboxdrv not working vboxusers group [15:00] bernux, #/etc/init.dhttpd restart [15:00] what do i type then to restart it [15:00] ? [15:00] ty [15:00] good morning everyone [15:00] coudn't find... so no i don't have it installed [15:00] Barnicle_, , #/etc/init.dhttpd restart [15:01] i got it [15:01] removing it now [15:01] it says no such file or directory [15:01] xi_: See vbox setup here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox === LimeBurst is now known as Linux [15:01] sipior i removed it rebooting now [15:01] Barnicle_, , #/etc/init.d/httpd restart [15:01] hello anyone ever had their graphical interface stop working after installing a window manager choose and rebooting ? === Linux is now known as LimeBurst [15:01] Does anyone know why some items in Synaptic are uncheckable? [15:01] Barnicle_, cd into /etc/init.d and check for that script or apache2 script [15:02] i typed /etc/init.d/httpd restart and it said no such file or dir [15:02] jamalfanaian: are you running from livecd? are you sure your networking isn't managed by networkmanager? [15:02] xi_: on that link, there should also be some info on the vboxusers group. That group has to exist, and the /dev/vboxdrv file should be owned by that group [15:02] i didn't find the other script [15:02] i see apache2 [15:02] Barnicle_: yes, it is /etc/init.d/apache2 start [15:02] Barnicle_: you want to restart apache? sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [15:03] ok, it's restarting [15:03] ty [15:03] dschulz: neither, i'm installing via tftp so i'm running the command-line installer... it's trying to get to us.archive.ubuntu.com to get packages but it can't connect to it... dhcp is working [15:03] there you go [15:03] shit, it's asking for a passphrase! [15:03] is there a default if i don't remember setting one? [15:04] Does anyone know why some items in Synaptic are uncheckable? (For example, I am running Cairo-dock 1.6.2.3 and in Synaptic there is a cairo-dock 1.6.3.1 under "Other Updates" but the box to install it is uncheckable... In addition to cair-dock, I have many other updates behaving the same way in Synaptic). I am running Ubuntu 8.10 64bit [15:04] it's you users password [15:04] s/you/your [15:04] even though it is kinda silly... Don't curse, Barnicle_ [15:04] sipior still got same problem [15:04] what command can i use to see if a file exists? [15:04] jamalfanaian: weird.. but dhcp lease should provide a gateway address anyway [15:04] It r family roomz, here. [15:04] badfish69, tset -f file [15:04] badfish69, test -f file [15:04] badfish69: test -e file, actually [15:05] jamalfanaian: maybe your dhcp server is not configured properly [15:05] dschulz: yeah i'll keep playing wiht it, it's providing the wrong address which is the issue [15:05] oCean_, that's going to show directories too [15:05] thanks for the help so far :) [15:05] hi people [15:05] the dhcp server is fine,.. the laptop thinks my desktop is a gateway though [15:05] Ubersoldat: yes, sure [15:05] i need some help with gparted [15:05] zilleplus: what interfaces were brought up at boot? what does ifconfig report? === hASDhaQ_ is now known as hASDhaQ [15:06] ifconfig gives a local loopback [15:06] 127.0.0.1 [15:06] QaDeS: ah, interesting idea. So I can make the side effects of foo by $() a "retrun value" . [15:06] oCean_: that gives me 'bash: test: file: binary operator expected' whether the file exists or not [15:06] zilleplus: and is the routing table empty? [15:07] routeroute -nee is empty [15:07] route -nee is empty [15:07] dschulz: Ahh I got it to work :) I guess it was caching my desktop's ip address because it originally got it's ip from there. I was running a DHCP server to get it to load a TFTP install... but it wasn't switching to my router's dhcp correctly. manually deleting the route and adding the right gateway worked. Thx for suggesting that! :) [15:08] how do i force my intrepid ibex to start metacity from command line ? [15:08] does somebody know how to resize my ubuntu partition if i have some unallocated spaces that's not contiguous? [15:08] badfish69, what are you trying to accomplish? [15:08] badfish69: can you show some context? [15:08] jamalfanaian: :) [15:08] it's actually going to be done in python [15:08] if the file exists already i don't want to overwrite it [15:08] zilleplus: can you try using dhcp for the address? does dhclient eth1 work? [15:08] if it isn't there, i want to create it [15:08] badfish69: (if you need to paste, use pastebin please) [15:08] badfish69: as in a script? [15:08] yeah [15:08] same problem cannot assgin address gecause my server does not find my router [15:08] if i touch a file that's already there, will it overwrite? === hASDhaQ is now known as hASDhaQ_ [15:09] badfish69: if it's going to be python, why now in bash? [15:09] !google python check file exists [15:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:09] because i need to create a text file [15:09] zilleplus: it shouldn't need to find a router if there is a dhcp server on the same subnet. [15:09] and the quickest way i know to do that is to touch in bash [15:09] sipior you know the command dmesg | tail ??? it say's tath i don't have no IPv6 routers present [15:09] Does anyone know why some items in Synaptic are uncheckable? For example, I am running cairo-dock 1.6.2.3 and in Synaptic there is a cairo-dock 1.6.3.1 under "Other Updates" but the box to install it is uncheckable... In addition to cairo-dock, I have many other updates behaving the same way in Synaptic. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 64bit [15:10] the dhcp is in ùmy router [15:10] badfish69: No. See the touch manpage. [15:10] does anybody knows how to resize my ubuntu partition if i have some unallocated spaces that's not contiguous? [15:10] !resize [15:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about resize [15:11] Anyone know anything about Synaptic? [15:11] badfish69: does this help: http://paste.ubuntu.com/145443/ [15:11] ipior anny idea [15:11] pumpkinseed: i use synaptic regularly [15:11] zilleplus: sorry about that. local network problems of my own, it seems. [15:12] sipior you know the command dmesg | tail ??? it say's tath i don't have no IPv6 routers present [15:12] maybee your something with that [15:12] also network manager does not read the ip when login to my computer if i'm plugged on when i login [15:12] pumpkinseed: have you configured extra repositories? [15:12] zilleplus: i get the same notice on my machine :-) [15:12] i've been told network manager has had problems lately [15:12] dschulz: i believe so [15:12] ooh so its normal [15:13] my last os i was using wicd what is the alternate to network manager? [15:13] the probleme is i worked on it for weeks now 20 guy's like you tryed and no one knows wath the problem is [15:13] zilleplus: let's step back a bit. on the switch your machine is plugged into, are there link lights verifying the connection? [15:13] yes [15:14] i tryed other cable an network card [15:14] pumpkinseed: have you updated since you last added a repo? [15:14] can anyone tell me the keyboard shortcut to move between the main window and the bottom pane in gedit? [15:14] zilleplus: does it work if you boot the machine from a live cd? [15:15] pumpkinseed: by 'updating' i mean updating repository indexes [15:15] dschulz: yes. I have done apt-get update many times [15:15] i got out of range on my screen because its to samll [15:15] small [15:15] yes [15:15] ty [15:15] il try it [15:15] dschulz: Wait. Are you talking about apt-get update ? [15:15] pumpkinseed: yes, it's the same thing === MK_Mike_2 is now known as mk_mike [15:16] anny other idea's because i got to go in 10 min you know someone hwo can also help me with this [15:16] can anyone please blacklist 'choosewm' as an awefull app that should never ever be allowed back with ubuntu ? [15:16] ? [15:16] pumpkinseed: aptitude update , apt-get update , synaptic -> Update all the same [15:16] can anyone tell me the keyboard shortcut to move between the main window and the bottom pane in gedit? [15:16] zilleplus -> have you had a chance to draw the layout yet? post the layout with ip addresses of the devices connected [15:17] n8tuserf: i've been keeping him too busy :-) [15:17] zilleplus: is this a new install, by the way? [15:17] pumpkinseed: i think you disabled a repository, so, some packages couldn't be installed because needs unavailable dependencies [15:17] sipior_ -> oh okay, keep him on his toes.. :P [15:17] yes [15:17] before i had no problems [15:17] zilleplus you have internet acces ? [15:17] i reinstalled it like 10 times [15:17] !bluetooth [15:17] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [15:17] zilleplus: what were you running before?

[15:18] in combination with apache php5 mysql [15:18] can anyone tell me the keyboard shortcut to move between the main window and the bottom pane in gedit? [15:18] zilleplus: which version of ubuntu were you running when it was working? [15:18] pumpkinseed: you can check it lookin at "Repositories" (? i have it in spanish!) in synaptic [15:19] also 8.10 [15:19] zilleplus: so what did you differently between that install and this? [15:19] 1 mount ago since then i have tgis problem when i reinstalled it [15:19] pumpkinseed: it's Configuration -> Repositories [15:19] Eh, I want to view another xubuntu system's X session on this machine, I'm currently SSH'd into it, but not all that great with command line. [15:19] nothing [15:19] zilleplus: well, there must be some difference. [15:20] but i had also problems [15:20] pumpkinseed: make sure you have the first 4 items checked [15:20] zilleplus: try the live cd, that will at least narrow the problem down. [15:20] i remember that [15:20] doing live cd now [15:20] IHS_Intern -> the remote end must be running x11vnc to connect to an existing session [15:20] dschulz: I'm sorry, but there is no "Configuration --> Repositories" in Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit === geo is now known as geo05 [15:21] pumpkinseed: something familiar [15:21] pumpkinseed: ? [15:21] how do I update my hostname through dhcp with network running through NetworkManager? [15:21] dschulz: no.... what OS are you in???? [15:21] pumpkinseed: hahah, im running ubuntu too [15:22] i hate this, i got litlle screen on my comp when i start up from cd i get out of range stupid CD [15:22] RizR -> not going to work using nm, you need to manually configure your dhclient [15:22] pumpkinseed: but 9.04, but IIRC in 8.10 was the same thing [15:22] Does anyone know why some items in Synaptic are uncheckable? For example, I am running cairo-dock 1.6.2.3 and in Synaptic there is a cairo-dock 1.6.3.1 under "Other Updates" but the box to install it is uncheckable... In addition to cairo-dock, I have many other updates behaving the same way in Synaptic. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 64bit [15:22] Ok, both systems have the x11vnc package installed. [15:23] n8tuserf, how do I do that? [15:23] !drive [15:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about drive [15:23] IHS_Intern -> then make sure its the x11vnc thats running not the other vnc servers [15:23] pumpkinseed: what menus you have in Synaptic ?? [15:23] n8tuserf, my /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf already says host-name in request section. [15:24] RizR -> you familiar enuff with how a client makes a request to the dhcp server? [15:24] !amarok [15:24] Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.8 (1.4.3 for Dapper LTS). Packages are available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok [15:24] n8tuserf, generally familiar with dhcp but haven't configured client before. [15:24] A vanilla install, x11vnc is the only remote-viewing software on them [15:25] pumpkinseed: what happens if you try to install one of those "uncheckable packages" with aptitude ? ie. sudo aptitude install cairo-dock [15:25] RizR -> perhaps you can post your dhclient.conf file and lets see if any configs we can change [15:25] dschulz: In Synaptic Update Manager there are no menus per se, but there is a "check" button which checks for updates, an Install updates button [15:26] pumpkinseed: try to find Synaptic --- not Synaptic Update Manager [15:26] pumpkinseed: are NOT the same [15:26] n8tuserf, http://pastebin.com/mdc0180a [15:26] IHS_Intern -> try this http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/X11vnc [15:26] has problem launching amarok, kindly somebody help me out.

[15:29] Hi, I'm trying to install UBUNTU manually using a free partition to format (Vista is on the other). It says that I need a root file system, what do I have to do? [15:29] RizR -> can you try something like interface "eth0" { send host-name "andare.fugue.com"; more request here...} [15:29] sorry if this is a repeat, my client disconnected. I 've just installed a program on Ubuntu 8.10, but it's not showing up on any menu. How do I find it and add it? [15:30] pumpkinseed: have you found Synaptic? [15:30] RizR -> i dont think nm can help you on that, you have to manually configure your dhclient.conf [15:30] dschulz: yes. I ran it from a command line with root rights. I looked up cairo-dock and it only has the version I have available [15:31] pumpkinseed: now you can check out the repositories configuration [15:33] Jimi_Neutral: use /msg nickserv register first [15:33] sippior i tryed the live CD and got internet [15:34] <^shakia^> wahabi [15:34] pumpkinseed: make sure you have all repos checked, then update the indexes [15:35] Ive got weird graphics problems on my Ubuntu 8.04 install. Recently, in all movies + even desktop background/firefox, I'm getting certain shades depicted as green. There's severe colour distortion etc. In hardware drivers I enable ATI accelerated driver (I have onboard graphics) and it fixes the issue, but in VNCViewer the output is extremely lagged across the network (although on the... [15:35] ...computer itself it's fine). [15:35] Lint01, thats odd that i have to reg in there to talk but not for here but the reg process is for the whole freenode network [15:35] pumpkinseed: if you can't find the version you are looking for, maybe you want to add the backports repository [15:35] How do I find out what graphics drivers I have installed so I can google the problem and tinker around a bit? [15:35] Lint01, ty for ur help :) [15:35] hey everyone [15:36] What lightweight(more than gnome) windows managers ubuntu has? Xfce, fluxbox, openbox... ? [15:36] icewm [15:36] xfke [15:36] dschulz: thanks [15:36] enlightenment [15:36] icewm is the fastest [15:36] 有人么？ [15:36] !zh | zhangyongf [15:36] zhangyongf: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [15:36] cool... never seen it.. ill have to check it out [15:37] But icewm, isn't it metacity replacement? [15:37] awesome [15:37] icewm is a window manager [15:37] musca [15:37] dwm [15:37] Lartza_: ubuntu only comes with gnome by default, but you can put in any window manager you want, most should be in the repositories [15:37] http://www.icewm.org/ [15:37] Lartza_: Yea I'm installing Ubuntu JeOS for VM so wanting some lightweigh [15:37] t [15:38] ratpoison [15:38] À ÍÀÌ ÏÎÕÓÉ [15:38] Lartza_: you could look at enlightenment - its very fast and also has some eyecandy [15:40] zilleplus: sorry, had to be away. glad that it works with the live cd, that's a very good sign. [15:40] Thanks, I found even cvs nstall instructions :) [15:41] apt is just browsing install server which is taking ages... [15:41] sipior you got skype?? [15:41] zilleplus: nope [15:41] anny thing else voipe ect?? [15:42] Is it stuck? :S 42% [15:42] zilleplus: no, and my officemates wouldn't appreciate it, either :-) [15:42] ooh lol [15:42] well i g2g for 30 min of so [15:42] il stay oline [15:43] il give you a private ùessage if ame back [15:43] hi can i use networkmanager and ifconfig/iwconfig from command line to configure two separate wireless nic ?? [15:43] guruff: Of course, that's what I think, can't help with network stuff tohugh [15:43] Just wait for a while [15:45] hi can someone please tell me the gtk version included in Januty? [15:45] Voltaplein: Try http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [15:46] has anyone here ever send email using postfix? [15:46] yakobmatrix: sure. [15:47] maxb I did, but it tells the ubuntu version of the gtk library, not the gtk version. I think that Intrepid has 2.10, but I'd like to know what jaunty has [15:47] i was doing an upgrade from Ubuntu 6.06 to Ubuntu 8.04, but during the installation the power cable somehow broke and now my system hangs during the booting process. I do see the Ubuntu screen and i think the root device gets mounted, but then i only see a blinking cursor on the top left of the screen and it hangs. How can i fix this? [15:47] sipior_: in postfix what connection does it use? is it http? [15:47] maxb I did, but it tells the ubuntu version of the gtk library, not the gtk version. <--- I have no idea what distinction you're trying to draw between the two [15:48] Voltaplein: 2.16 propably? [15:48] i do have an Ubuntu 8.10 CD. Can I somehow use it to recover this broken upgrade? [15:48] yakobmatrix: no, it's smtp, tcp port 25. [15:48] oh really [15:48] test [15:49] it's just that my campus use proxy [15:49] Voltaplein: Or not ;) [15:49] hi guys, I am looking for remote desktop help, i read many topic on the net for LAN but i m not getting any help for using desktop on WAN. I want to access a computer over internet. I read and followed the following help link: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-use-remote-desktop-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html [15:49] and it's only allow http and https [15:49] bartv_: did you keep a separate partition for user data ("/home") [15:49] Voltaplein: 2.12 through 2.18?(Is that even possible? :P) [15:50] bartv_: if so, you could simply reinstall, being careful to ensure that the data partition is not erased during then install. [15:50] I believe it is [15:51] Why is apt doing settings forever?? [15:51] maxb, Lartza_ the confusion is that, on intrepid, aptitude show libgtk2.0-0 e.g. reports "Provides gtk2.0-binver-2.10.0" [15:51] So it's 2.10 on intrepid yes [15:51] so the ubuntu version does not track the gtk version, I guess [15:51] oh... [15:51] hmm... [15:51] sipior: I'm not sure /home is on a separate partition... i hope so... [15:51] yeah, so what's on Jaunty? are you running it? [15:52] it's actually on my collegues laptop we were doing the upgrade [15:52] can anybody help guys on my query???? [15:52] Voltaplein: So, why are you looking at the Provides, instead of the rather more obvious Version field ? [15:52] bartv_: this is where you boot from the live cd, and back up absolutely everything to another disk. [15:52] the only thing is... the collegue also had matlab installed and doesn't have installation cd any more... can we tell the install of Ubuntu 8.10 not to format the partitions and keep the old matlab install? [15:52] Voltaplein: Are you sure it's not the same? GKT+ is latest stable 2.14 and GLib 2.18 [15:53] maxb yes indeed, it seems to reflect the true gtk version rather than the ubuntu one, or am I confused? [15:53] Previous include 2.12 and 2.10 [15:53] bartv_: back up everything, reinstall, restore matlab from the backup. [15:53] bardyr, if you type sudo df -hT you'll see if /home is on separate partition [15:53] The whole point is I want to get gtkbuilder but it needs gtk 2.12 at least [15:53] hey all i have an SSH key how do i export the public key so i can move it from one computer ot another that i use [15:53] bartv_: only if the program is on a separate partition, other than the system files [15:53] what do you mean 'restore matlab from the backup'? [15:53] http://phnxr.mybrute.com , challenge me 8) [15:53] Voltaplein: So you need to install it [15:53] that is my own personal one or onton my ubuntu machine since i did it i on windows [15:53] simply copy the matlab directory back and forth you mean? [15:54] indeed [15:54] ok, out with it. where the F*ck does ubuntu store its default keymap? I've been trying for two hours traight to get this working with "nodeadkeys" as my X keyboard variant, to no avail. neither xorg.conf, nor HAL FDI crap can pull it off. what is one supposed to do? [15:54] !ohmy [15:54] hello there [15:54] Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [15:54] Lartza_: right. Are you running Jaunty? If so, what does it report under Provides for libgtk2.0-0 [15:54] Voltaplein: I go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/libgtk2.0-0 and it quite clearly tells me that intrepid has 2.14.4 and jaunty 2.16.0 - what is confusing you? [15:54] would i be able to view mplayer from one machine on the other remote? [15:55] bartv_: yes, that's what i meant. you'll need to figure out where the matlab installer put everything, butn that shouldn't be too hard. [15:55] Hi all. Is there a way to convert jaunty to unr without booting from usb? my old laptop simply can't boot from usb... [15:55] maxb: those are the unbuntu versions. but do they track the gtk versions? [15:55] Hello, how would I install the Thawte root certificate on my Ubuntu machine? I'd like to use esmtp with Google Mail but I get 'unzip -p thawte-roots.zip 'Invalid peer certificate' [15:56] Voltaplein: I am not, just install 2.18 and you'll be fine [15:56] Salut [15:56] Voltaplein: Yes, they do. It would be pretty insane not to, no? [15:56] GNU\colossus: you can select the keymap from the Keyboard menu option, configuring nodeadkeys or whatever as you like. [15:56] sipior_: I need it system-wide. [15:56] maxb yes it would. That's why I got curious about the Provides [15:56] not just per-user [15:57] sipior_, ok we're copying /usr/local/matlab and hope that gives us everything we need for matlab... [15:57] Lartza_: thanks! [15:57] http://phnxr.mybrute.com , challenge me 8) [15:57] next thing. Is there a package that includes gtkbuilder? [15:57] but one more question: if i now reinstall ubuntu 8.10 on the partition where the Ubuntu 6.06 was, and i tell it not to format the partition, will the /usr/local/matlab directory then be erased? [15:57] Voltaplein: like glade? [15:58] zash: yes, [15:58] like that [15:58] How do I install the Thawte root certificate on my Ubuntu machine? I'd like to use esmtp with Google Mail but I get 'Invalid peer certificate' [15:58] GNU\colossus: not /usr/share/X11/xkb, then? [15:58] !info glade-3 [15:58] glade-3 (source: glade-3): GTK+ 2 User Interface Builder. In component main, is optional. Version 3.4.5-3ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 340 kB, installed size 1056 kB [15:59] zash thnks [15:59] :D [15:59] sipior_: that's where the compiled maps for X11 reside. I want to know where the installer SETS them, though. [15:59] is there a way to convert jaunty to unr without booting from usb? my old laptop simply can't boot from usb... [16:01] What graphical partition program is there in ubuntu? [16:01] rayne: gparted [16:02] thecommutist, thanks, was try gpart and got something totally different [16:02] hey guys i have quite a few problems first i have a ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN and the pro driver isnt working [16:02] any good DVD burning programs out there? A friend of mine uses nero to create DVDs with nice menus and all that. I don't want to run nero in Wine or anything but rather I'm looking for a free Linux alternative. Anyone know of a program like that? [16:02] DaveGG: what do you mean by unr? [16:03] netbook remix [16:03] Chowder: k3b for kde, or brasero for gnome [16:03] DaveGG: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion. [16:03] <|404|> hello #ubuntu, i'm decided to workin linux. from to which linux should i start? for xp users? :) [16:03] clearscreen, do they make menus and such for DVDs? [16:03] GNU\colossus: as near as i can tell, it simply chooses the XkbLayout entry in xorg.conf. is that not the case on your system? there's also the "locale" boot parameter. [16:03] you're in ubuntu, what about you start with that :) [16:03] Chowder: No idea :) [16:03] |404|: you'll get partial answers from here ;-) [16:04] pici: thanks. however, i believe that my question is general and doesnt pertain necessarily to jaunty === dtcrshr is now known as datacrusher [16:04] clearscreen, I use brasero for mp3 cds and I'm pretty sure that it doesn't do anything like that with DVDs [16:04] Chowder: for menus u can use mandvd or winff === adrian_ is now known as deadtop [16:04] sipior_: a change to /etc/default/console-setup actually made it work under X11, too. [16:04] thecommutist, thanks, I'll google those [16:04] Chowder: there's another package called devede that supports menu creation [16:04] I don't know how and why, but it works. [16:05] <|404|> :) Myrtti, what do you recommend for easyiest ? [16:05] zash: ubuntu netbook remix [16:05] <|404|> to old xp users [16:05] |404|: ubuntu is the most popular and user-friendly :) [16:05] |404|: as I said, you'll be recommended Ubuntu here === Mud is now known as Mud|bnc [16:05] |404|: have u downloaded ubuntu or do u have a install cd with u? [16:05] GNU\colossus: it's a poorly-named file, to be sure...glad it works under X11, anyhow.

[16:07] |404|: u can order ubuntu cd for free from http://shipit.ubuntu.com [16:07] lion-o: it's called xchat-gnome in the ubuntu repositories [16:07] Hello! Where does Okular store annotations? Can I store them in the .pdf file?

[16:08] wtv: i think so [16:08] timc, im not for certain, but I'm assuming /home/timc/.okular perhaps (its a hidden directory no doubt) [16:08] i've seen xchat with a capitol X before which can throw off searches... [16:08] clearscreen when i search for it in synaptic it wont find anything but when i type apt-get install xchat it finds it. i am using 8.10 [16:08] thrillERboy: there is a button to do exactly that in the main interface [16:08] thrillERboy: last time I checked I could export to PDF [16:08] thrillERboy: or file>export as [16:08] |404|: i think so. u will get the languages option when u boot off the cd [16:09] eseven73, good idea! I should have thought of that. I can't find an .okular folder however [16:10] thanks clearscreen and erUSUL I checked it in save as. there is the option in the main menu :D [16:10] <|404|> thank you for all [16:10] lion-o: not sure, when I search for xchat in synaptic it just shows it to me :) [16:10] I've accessed a samba share using smb:// in the file browser... how can I mount this so i can use it in a terminal?

[16:11] |404|: or do u mean the same hard disk? [16:11] lion-o: perhaps you're filtering on a wrong category.. make sure 'All' is selected [16:11] yes it is [16:11] <|404|> yes [16:12] testi: did you install libapache2-mod-php5 and restart apache? [16:12] still nothing [16:12] |404|: u mean the same partition as windows or the same hard disk? please be more specific [16:12] lion-o: don't know then [16:12] <|404|> thecommutist:yes [16:12] k [16:12] |404|: answering an either-or question with "yes" is not terribly helpful :-) [16:13] sipior_: P-) [16:13] clearscreen then what about E: Unable to lock the download directory [16:13] Hello! Where does Okular store annotations? There is no ~/.okular. :D Or where does okular exist? Where can i find it. I've never had to dig around in /usr/ [16:13] clearscreen: i did.

I will try with my dyndns hostname [16:28] mattgyver83: the one that connects the smps to the hard disk [16:29] Joyce_: You can use ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking no to automatically add host keys and bypass the dialog. see man ssh_options for more [16:29] hey. anyone know how to certain windows to specific desktops using openbox [16:29] Thanks a lot Pici.

You mean dyndns? [16:41] i saved the file as to overwrite [16:42] Joyce_: ssh keys + dyndns + rc.local [16:42] and now the file is 0 bytes [16:42] Joyce_, no, nevermind that.

[17:06] masho: I'm confused what you mean. Wine doesn't directly place any files in your applications, it just tries to execute them as windows would [17:06] so apparently something went down with the network when installing from the command line [17:06] how do i get it to continue / try again / restart the installation? [17:06] i see where can i download cedega and KQemu [17:06] it's just stuck at "retrieving libcwidget3..." and wont' do much [17:07] Mion, I looked through that and didn't see anything that looked like a hard drive mount.... so I thought I might have to make one or mount something first.

[17:08] but Wine not cuting it for me [17:08] jason____, Thanks, not entirely sure what it is, only that I am unable to find what I am looking for. [17:09] rayne_: ok, ubuntu is stupid and isn't detecting your discs [17:09] masho: in there is a drive_c, that is where the virtual windows filesystem is. If you removed wine, you can just delete that [17:09] cuz pidgin no good i more as a window user then ubuntu [17:09] what's the cheapest (a real cheap) draft n usb stick working out-of-the-box with Ubuntu? [17:09] let me try that now jason [17:09] Mion, Not only is Ubuntu stupid, but I have a section of the hard drive partitioned in Fat32 and winblow wont install because it says my hard drive is corrupted or has a virus [17:10] Mion, Which is why I am trying to erase the entire disk and start with Winblows first then install Ubuntu [17:10] rayne_: windows can whipe the disc for you during the install, just delete every partion, and create a new one for windows [17:11] Can someone please walk me through installing Easycam? I tried reading the guide but they start out with a deb command that won't work. [17:11] Mion, I can't get to that phase, it stops right after initialization to tell me there is a hard drive corruption [17:11] can people see me?

[17:12] ant1pathy: this channel isn't +R so you can talk even when not identified [17:12] i cant find the c diver jason [17:12] so my current computer is dying. i've had it for almost 4 years and is just painfully old [17:12] masho: use pidgin instead of yahoo messanger in wine [17:12] overheating cpu with the case open and a oscillating fan blowing across it [17:12] masho: you will be much happier [17:13] !crc [17:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about crc [17:13] Mion, I changed my laptop over to Ubuntu and haven't been able to get winblows to reinstall on it. I am assuming the problem is winblows not able to understand what the heck XFS and Ext2 journaling is so its freaking out [17:13] masho: Try opening a terminal, and typing rm -R ~/.wine [17:13] ant1pathy: Do you have an Ubuntu support question? If not, you can chat in #ubuntu-offtopic. #ubuntu is for support only. [17:13] the version of xp that i've had for the past 4 years is the 32 bit [17:13] yes, i'm getting to that ; ) [17:13] thing is i not happy with it mon [17:13] masho: But really have you tried pidgin? it's very nice [17:13] ok jason [17:14] i did i dont like it jason [17:14] the processor i've ordered is a 64 bit. i'm also not happy with the inability to get full use of the 4g of ram i've ordered, with 32bit xp only seeing 4g of total system memory [17:14] Mion, Does it matter that I have multiple partitions to run Linux? I created different swap, /home and / partitions [17:14] jason rm -R ~/.wine not working [17:14] masho: what does it say? [17:15] Mion, When I open gparted, they are all listed as /dev/sda1 /sda2/ sda3 etc [17:15] i'm currently downloading the ubuntu cd from the ubuntu website [17:15] the 64 bit version [17:15] is say name@name-desktop [17:15] am i capable of performing a fresh install with a freshly built pc with that download? [17:15] masho, if there is no response then it worked [17:16] rayne_: that's bizarre :/ afaik gparted works directly on the block device doesn't it? [17:16] anyone know of a guide for portable ubuntu? [17:16] no block device should = no listing in gparted [17:16] who does packages? if I give a source package can someone make a .deb out of it for me? [17:16] but where my applications it same wine as a folder [17:16] ant1pathy: sure. why not? [17:16] masho: Did you uninstall wine as well? [17:16] i trying to detele that [17:16] jason____, I am in live session as well, does that effect anything?

[17:17] sipior: never used linux before (so be gentle). the only experience i've had is hearing about having to do everything, and i mean EVERYTHING, manually through some fun text commancs [17:17] how do i install vlc? [17:18] ganesh2: sudo apt-get install vlc [17:18] rayne_: I suppose if the live session ran in a chroot.. I'm afraid your problem is above my head :/ [17:18] ganesh2: you can use the synaptic package manager and search for vlc [17:18] jason____, Any ideas? I just need to completely wipe the hard drive. Either as unformatted or Fat 32 [17:18] ganesh2: or the terminal and do what Pici said [17:18] ant1pathy: no, the install is straightforward, especially if you don't have a windows install or the like to worry about. most things can be done outside of a terminal, if you really want to. [17:18] anyway where can i fine the window me iso for the vbox === Whipper__ is now known as _Whipper [17:19] rayne_: does gparted actually work? are you able to format from there? [17:19] masho: windows me? *shudders* [17:19] Anyone able to help? I just need to completely wipe the hard disk, either as unformatted or as Fat32. Linux installer does not allow this without creating a root partition and the odd partitions are preventing winblows installer from getting to the partition phase. [17:19] sipior: anything in particular i should be aware about? should the standard discs for mobo drivers and such install cleanly? [17:19] is there a place where I can find a whitelist for wifi hardware working flawless with Ubuntu? [17:19] jason____, I can format... but not everything, I can't touch the root and swap partitions [17:19] just window me os so i can use it on v box [17:20] rayne_: 'gksudo gparted' on the liveCD. That should let you do anything you want to it [17:20] rayne_: if you're running from a livecd there shouldn't be a distinction between root/swap/whatever partitions :/ [17:20] arthurL_, What does the "gk" do? [17:20] rayne_: graphical [17:21] ^ that [17:21] arthurL_, It is the exact same as just running sudo gparted, and I cannot delete or unmount the root partitions [17:21] jason____, You would think that... hense why I am in the live session, but it does not let me [17:22] ant1pathy: no, they probably won't, as the drivers on those discs would be for windows, most likely. linux will almost certainly support all of your hardware out of the box, with no driver discs. to verify this, boot your machine off of the live cd, and check that the machine is usable, keyboard and mouse work, network is reachable, &cet. at which point you can do a proper install of linux (running it off of the cd is terribly slow). [17:22] rayne_, you might have to try Gparted LiveCD or SystemRescue CD then [17:23] rayne_: thats extremely bizarre! are you using an install cd? all I can imagine is that it's actually rooting your linux filesystem, not the livecd [17:23] eseven73, going to try something [17:23] i agree with eseven, try another live/rescue cd [17:23] sipior: thank you for your help, it's very nice to have this kind of instant support. can i installed off a live cd as well? [17:23] jason____, thanks for the help, I removed 2 partitions in grparted and the other that wouldnt delete... disapeared, lol... should work now. Thanks for the help [17:23] ant1pathy: yep. all-in-one! [17:24] and i'm running a wireless usb adaptor, would it be better to take it down to the router and hardwire it?

[17:29] syntax\, I think you'd want the Alternative CD [17:29] !minimal [17:29] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [17:29] hello, does anyone know if there is a open source project of simple finger tracking with a webcam, which could be used for presentations?

[17:29] meaning totally reinstall [17:30] really? i thought ubuntu doesnt have something like that :) [17:30] most distros have a alternative disk [17:30] cause, rpm based like fedora and centos are like that [17:31] Hi, I'm new to Ubuntu (a total noob). If I've downloaded a .tar.bz file or what not, how do I install it? [17:31] If the install file tells me to do a "./install.sh", what does that mean? :X [17:31] Aerodynamic: a tar.gz file is an archive, you will need to unpack it first [17:31] Aerodynamic: .tar.bz is an archive, kind of like .zip [17:31] Aerodynamic: What kind of app is that? [17:31] Aerodynamic: So unpack it first [17:31] !tar | Aerodynamic [17:31] Aerodynamic: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [17:32] Aerodynamic: If you are in Ubuntu right now, it should open with Archive Manager by default.

[17:32] I'm an idiot, thank you everyone [17:33] Aerodynamic: try to find a .deb instead [17:33] get a core 2 pc with a decent ram install ubuntu in 40x hdd using the core 2 machine. [17:33] or preferably: install through apt (if it's on the repositories) [17:33] awesome. you guys rock [17:34] Well, I'm trying to download 7-Zip for Linux since the default archive manager doesn't seem to be able to open .rar files [17:34] Unless I'm wrong. [17:34] anywhere you can reccomend for hardware questions? [17:34] Aerodynamic: it can [17:34] when my laptop comes out of sleep mode, the hdd is still on powersave mode (hdparm -I gives 128), and the head parks a lot. what can I do on 8.10 to end this? [17:34] would i get any errors? if ever i installed and updated an ubuntu in a core 2 machine and moved the hdd to a slower computer let say a p4 1.8 [17:34] Aerodynamic→ it can, if you install the "rar" package with the synaptic package manager [17:35] Oh, I see.

[17:40] jacobt: I don't see how this is related to ubuntu support, but try /whois username [17:40] thanx [17:40] !cloak | jacobt [17:40] jacobt: Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [17:40] thank you :) [17:41] clearscreen: were going to install ubuntu on 40x workstations (most of them are slow pc's). Im thinking if this is possible. I'd get a core2duo machine, install and update ubuntu there and move that said hdd to the slow computer. my question is, would i get or encounter any hardware incompatibility error?

[17:46] Mion, Do you understand my question? [17:46] what's the best way to rebuild a kernel module with a patch but not the whole kernel? [17:46] alevine: a module that comes with the kernel? [17:46] syntax\: not really. the installation is usually the easiest part of running a cluster. install on your "golden client", image, and distribute. the FAQ there is pretty helpful. [17:47] Mion: yes, I want to recompile drm specifically [17:47] alevine: if so, just get the kernel source, patch the module, set it to 'm' in the .config and `make modules` [17:47] alevine: then copy it to /lib/modules/whatever and depmod -a [17:47] hello all....I have this problem ....could you please take a look at ---->http://www.pastebin.ca/1383855 [17:48] Mion: thanks, i'll try that [17:48] how to query applications i got installed via CLI?

[17:50] It seems that Anyone do not understand my question [17:50] Mion, May be a little over my head yet but you gave me a springboard to jump from. time for research [17:50] Mion, ty lol [17:50] how to query applications i got installed via CLI? [17:50] sipior / Mion: which do you think would be faster? installing a minimal install ubuntu and update in a core2 machine one by one or use system imager. [17:50] lng: dpkg -l [17:50] sirjoebob: if xml don't make your head explode, then it's rather easy [17:50] what do you mean by query? [17:51] Mion: thanks [17:51] i'll move the hdds to the slow pc after every install.. [17:51] Mion, Thanks, I think I will get it fine. I am enjoying openbox's easy-edit style [17:51] syntax\: depends on how many machines we're talking about.

[17:54] alevine: I prefer kernel.org :/ [17:54] syntax\: one of the advantages of systemimager, for example, is that it is easier to keep the computers updated. on the other hand, you could make a bunch of usb keys with the ubuntu installer, and do a big parallel install...

Does anyone have any ideas? [18:16] !iptables | epaphus [18:16] epaphus: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [18:16] alguem utiliza o snort?? [18:17] !english | vetus6oo [18:17] vetus6oo: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [18:17] sebsebseh: oh. So is there something I have to do? forgive my noobness plz [18:17] edogzilla: yep enable it, system > administaration > software sources [18:18] edogzilla, you might need to edit one file to get the gui back so you can actually do some computing... sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... change the driver from nvidia to vesa ... Ctrl+x +Y and enter to save the file ... then restart the desktop with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [18:18] anybody can help me? [18:18] jrib, tried to remove a packge but the other one is always blockin gme [18:18] namelessnotion: lol at putting nano in your command for a new user [18:18] namelessnotion: wrong person [18:18] is it not possible to just remove without upgrading? [18:18] i wanna delate ares and wine in ubuntu and i tought i did but actually it's still here :S [18:18] nomasteryoda: or not [18:18] edogzilla, Ctrl+Alt+F1 a couple times to get to a console to work from [18:18] sebsebseh: i cant find universe anywhere [18:18] victor__: did you sudo apt-get remove wine ? [18:18] sebsebseb, has always worked for me... no matter the graphics card or system [18:19] edogzilla: if people tell you to use nano or vim or whatever in their commands, put gedit instead, because the other stuff is command line text editors [18:19] nano is at least friendly for new users [18:19] edogzilla: gedit or kate if you got installed for editing config files, anything else is to painful for a new user [18:19] hello, may I ask [18:19] if you don't have a gui to work with that is [18:19] sebsebseb: edogzilla unless you are gui-less which I think is the case right? [18:19] nomasteryoda: GUI apps that don't run in the terminal in general are more user friendly, and so Gedit and kate :) [18:19] it's possible with ubuntu to do somewhat "update" from another distro? [18:20] conb123: what is happening when you type in this on both machines? /etc/init.d/ssh status [18:20] TLF: keep your home partition seperate, and then you can install around it [18:20] he said he had a blank screen sebsebseb ...aka no gui [18:20] willluongo: no I think he is new with Ubuntu 8.10 desktop [18:20] I mean, I have a Gentoo partition, can I overwrite everything except /home? [18:20] willluongo: I think I can't do that ATM :( [18:20] nomasteryoda: maybe he did before I joined, I thought he was on a GUI just bad nivida drivers [18:21] edogzilla: have you got a graphical user interface or not? [18:21] meh, i was just hoping to help [18:21] TLF: You can use a livedisk like gparted to split up your partitions and copy the home to its new.. home :) and then install around the home partition. Otherwise, no way to install without losing any docs, etc [18:21] nomasteryoda: indeed it's a pintless thing to debate, that's why I stopped [18:21] will crawl back to my swamp and work [18:21] sebsebseh: i'm guiless after i activate the driver. but i havent yet since i reinstalled ubuntu. I dont want to activate anything until I know it wont screw everything up [18:21] nomasteryoda: and yes help if you can :) [18:21] k [18:21] sebsebseh: right now i have gui [18:22] For some reason, notification-daemon isn't automatically starting anymore.

Does anyone have any ideas? [18:22] sebsebseh: yes [18:22] edogzilla: and for ubuntu's sources enabled (multiverise) [18:22] edogzilla: main multiverse and that make sure those are ticked [18:23] edogzilla, if you do, then click System, hardware drivers from the menu at the top of the screen [18:23] paul68: sorry to be gone for so long erm i just typed that in on my machine and it says sshd is running [18:23] sebsebseh: i dont see anything that says multiverse or anything...just the list of drivers to enable [18:23] nomasteryoda: by the sounds of it he can't get envng yet, because he does not have the multiverse repo enabled yet [18:23] should give you appropriate list of nvidia drivers and a recommended driver [18:23] edogzilla: your in the wrong thing [18:23] edogzilla: you don't want hardware drivers [18:23] sebsebseh: oh. wheres the multiverse thing? [18:23] paul68: funtable was the one that tested and got the error i assume his ssh is set up properly [18:23] edogzilla: you want to enable the multiverse repo in software sources, then you can probably download envng [18:24] anyone using beta 9.04 got troubles with hotkey-setup? [18:24] conb123: and what does it do on the other machine? [18:24] sebsebseh: i cant find it in software sources either [18:24] doktoreas_: wrong channel ask in #ubuntu+1 [18:24] conb123: My ssh is set properly to however I get the same error [18:24] osrry [18:24] paul68: well the other machine is funtable's should i ask him to run it on his [18:25] conb123: can it be that port 22 is blocked by your ISP at least its blocked on my end [18:25] edogzilla: you can enable that repo, by editing the confog file, but doing in GUI is probably easier [18:25] sebsebseh: i dont see anything anywhere that says universe or multiverse...i looked in all the tabs in software sources === defcon is now known as Guest12087 [18:25] edogzilla: plus it's been a while since I edited the software sources, by actsaully editing the config file, and my mind has gone blank as how to do it, but it's pretty easy [18:25] hello, can someone help me with this [18:25] I installed 8.10 and ran the updates from the balloon, everything downloaded and was installing fine, until I got to the acpi, [18:25] So i restarted the system.

[18:25] edogzilla: yes enable multiverse and universe [18:26] edogzilla: make sure they are checked [18:26] sebsebseh: no i'm serious it's nowhere to be found in software sources [18:26] conb123: otherwhise you have to adapt the port 22 to an higher port range for example 44321 and try again [18:26] sebsebseh: i cant find it === Unreal_ is now known as Guest97581 [18:26] conb123: can it be that its blocked on your router? [18:27] sebsebseh: so i can't check it [18:27] Hi all, I've got the same problem as here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=565549 - someone knows something about that? [18:27] ? [18:27] paul68: well i have already forwarded this port and i have set it to allow all incoming ip addresses [18:27] paul68: so it shouldn't be [18:27] sebsebseh: what tab is it under? === spass is now known as spass_away [18:27] edogzilla: enable the stuff in ubuntu software tab, everything, but source code [18:27] edogzilla-- in sys /sdmin / software sources ..click ubuntu software and click check all tabs [18:27] sebsebseh: already done [18:28] edogzilla: and did it reload the repos? [18:28] sebsebseh: it didnt do anything...they were all already checked when i went in there. all but source code [18:28] edogzilla, you can add the repos you need to the file manually ... sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup then sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [18:28] hang on [18:28] edogzilla: well envyngcore should be in the repo some wehre [18:28] conb123: otherwhise you have to try ssh user@yourip -pyourportnumber [18:29] edogzilla: you been looking synaptic or whatever for it? [18:29] sebsebseh: whats a repo? whAT'S SYNAPTIC? [18:29] edogzilla, i use the proprietary drivers for all my nvidia cards... they work better [18:29] oops caps [18:29] edogzilla: also I think these days people don't really need envng , because the nivida driver ubuntu provides will do the trick [18:29] edogzilla: repositories store software, synaptic installs it [18:29] !synaptic [18:29] synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [18:29] !repository [18:29] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [18:29] nutzer === [perry] is now known as [pErry] [18:29] can someone help me with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/145583/ [18:29] nomasteryoda: heh you beat me to it [18:30] sebsebseh: but the nvidia driver ubuntu provides crashes my gui [18:30] =D [18:30] paul68: Oh what so you mean change the port number to something else doesn't it have to be 22 or can it be anything [18:30] thats my main problem [18:30] edogzilla: you can try a driver directy from Nivida, but it is usaully recommened to use the ones Ubuntu provide [18:30] edogzilla: also installing drivers from Nivida is a bit of a pain [18:31] gera: try booting without acpi [18:31] edogzilla: you could even go and put 8.04 on, not much difference between 8.10 and 8.04 after all. [18:31] edogzilla-- sys / admin / synaptic package manager....once your in...click search..type (envyng..then click envyng and click install [18:31] sebsebseh: right. wouldnt have a clue how to do it or any confidence it would work. but the ones ubuntu provides obviously dont work...so what do I do? [18:31] gera: add acpi=off or noacpi to your kernel boot parameters [18:31] edogzilla: do what Xcell is suggesting [18:32] edogzilla: nothing comes up in Synaptic? [18:32] xcell: i already installed using sudo apt-get install envyng...but i cant find it anywhere in my comp [18:32] edogzilla: you need the GUI for it as well [18:32] conb123: if you have like me an ISP that blockes everything under port 1024 you have to do a portforward from your router to por22. example if I want to ssh onto my server I need to type in paul@myip -p55522 or type in paul@carreabeanpirates.homedns.org -p55522 to get connected to my server [18:32] it's there somewhere...but i dont know where === ghost is now known as Guest38262 [18:32] edogzilla: look in synaptic and make sure you got a gui for it === robert__ is now known as n4cht [18:33] edogzilla: maybe it just didn't add itself to your menu yet, but if you know the names of apps, you can open them from the terminal using their name [18:33] paul68: so why did you use that port 55522 is that significant or is it just a random port that wont be blocked [18:33] edogzilla-- go to sys / prefs / main menu look for it there..make sure it is checked [18:33] i looked in synaptic and its in there [18:34] edogzilla: which and the appname will search the usual places for the binary [18:34] edogzilla: what is the gui for it called? [18:34] edogzilla-- is it colored green? [18:34] sebsebseh: i have envyng-gtk and envyng-core [18:34] edogzilla: ok perfect [18:34] yes its green [18:34] edogzilla: open a terminal [18:34] conb123: its a random port I choose because I know my ISP isn't blocking that port and I do a forward from port 55522 to port 22 on ip 192.168.1.22 [18:34] edogzilla: put in that terminal envyng-gtk and press enter [18:34] edogzilla: can you open it like that? [18:35] it says command not found [18:35] edogzilla: sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk it should say you already got it installed [18:36] edogzilla: can't do apt-get commands when synaptic is open [18:36] anyone know of a good list of true linux 64 bit apps out there ? [18:36] riegersn-- google that statement [18:36] sebsebseh: yeah its already installed [18:37] edogzilla: and by using it's name in the terminal, you should be able to open it [18:37] Xcell, yea i did just wondering if anyone might save me some time [18:37] guess not [18:37] ok [18:37] sebsebseh: but when i try to open it by typing envyng-gtk...it says command not found [18:38] edogzilla: ok the actsaul program/proccess maybe is calling itself something else [18:38] edogzilla: try envyng -g [18:38] edogzilla: or just envyng for a list of options [18:38] gatel [18:38] or just envyng [18:39] xcell: i type envyng -g and it said i need to install envyng-qt. so i just did [18:39] edogzilla: yeah I was going to say, there's the qt gui as well [18:39] edogzilla: if you can open that one up :) [18:40] brb..phone [18:40] so i just type envyng-qt in the command line? [18:40] edogzilla: sure [18:40] edogzilla: try it [18:40] k one sec [18:40] its still installing [18:40] edogzilla: yep after install [18:40] edogzilla: also that one may have added itself to your menu [18:41] paul68: sorry i think i found the problem i didn't have the port forwarded on my linux ip, sorry it was a stupid mistake. Sorry for wasting your time [18:41] this is where I go for ubuntu support, right? [18:41] helpimtrappedina: yep [18:41] okay [18:41] helpimtrappedina: what do you want assitance with? [18:41] ciao [18:41] my comp won't boot [18:41] !list [18:41] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [18:41] grub gives me a command line [18:41] helpimtrappedina: why not? [18:41] sebsebseh: seriously...i love ubuntu linux... but if this doesnt work i'm gonna have go get windows, and i dont wanna do that [18:41] helpimtrappedina: oh grub issues [18:41] and wubi maybe? [18:41] my .disk seems to have dissapeared [18:42] helpimtrappedina: wubi I see, I woudn't normalely recommend it, and someone else had a issue with wubi where they coudn't boot up Windows or Ubuntu [18:42] windows works [18:42] edogzilla: don't give up so easilley :) and even smarter go 8.04 again [18:42] conb123: no worries glad its working now [18:42] edogzilla: try logging out of your account back in again if stuff is not on the menu, it may add itself after a log back in again [18:42] sebsebseb: yeah i probably should.. is there a major diff between hardy and intrepid? [18:42] edogzilla: yeah the major issue is xorg, and that's where you also have problems [18:43] edogzilla: the major difference [18:43] sebsebseb: ha! it worked...its in my menu [18:43] edogzilla: other than that only minor stuff between 8.10 and 8.04 [18:43] yay [18:43] edogzilla: well and KDE3 is an option in the repo unlike in 8.10 and 9.04 [18:43] edogzilla: ok you got that program up and working? [18:43] hmmm. it wont open [18:44] sebsebseb: no it wont open for some reason === sukke_ is now known as sukke [18:44] edogzilla: you need root? sudo [18:45] edogzilla: gksudo envyng-qt or whatever it's called [18:45] sebsebseb: no i clicked on it in my applications-system tools and nothing [18:45] envy? I must say nvidia 185.13 beta is pretty good [18:46] edogzilla: the standard graphics card driver from nivida should have worked [18:46] edogzilla: I meant Ubuntu's version of it [18:47] sebsebseb: i tried to open it from the terminal and its just spitting a bunch of stuff out [18:47] but its not running [18:47] I have to go to work [18:47] thx for trying! [18:47] byew [18:47] Im running ibex (latest upgrade) with 1.5gb ram, with Transmission, firefox (2 tabs), 1 terminal and xchat running the machine is swapping like mad. Top shows all the ram is used and I've gone about 20mb in to swap is this right? [18:48] Supersaiyan_IV: right well not normalely a good idea to tell people to use Betas's [18:48] Supersaiyan_IV: unless it's Firefox or something like that [18:48] Anyone know the name of the app that overlays your desktop with system info and such? I can't remember the name. And I know it's not screenlets. [18:48] BiosElement: conky?

[18:49] Coded1_: first of all, I would use Ktorrent instead of Transmission, and Konversation instead of Xchat :) [18:50] normally, I'd use IRSSI.. but trying not to put too much on this box that I'll have to remove later. [18:50] does anybody know a good channel for ubuntu LAMP support? [18:50] ganesh, hi-res grub is possible, except its called gfxboot [18:50] vexic: I think there might be #lamp [18:50] sebastien-- konv is better than xchat?..why and what is better...never used it [18:50] !lamp [18:50] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[18:50] Xcell: Konversation is a pretty nice app yeah [18:50] imo* [18:51] wait, I know... install IRSSI on the server..I already am sshing into it...hmm [18:51] maybe ill try it. [18:51] * sebsebseb thinks it's nice to use a IRC client that is differnet from what most Linux noobs use :D [18:51] paul68: Could you please test it for me [18:51] does it integrate with gnome well? [18:51] Xcell: Xchat is ok as well sure, but Konversation is pretty nice [18:51] Xcell: and yes it's a KDE app, but works nicely in Gnome [18:51] ok..thanks [18:52] has anyone found issues with swapping like this? [18:52] Coded1_: how big is your swap space? [18:52] same as ram 1.5GB [18:52] jobis [18:52] !swap [18:52] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster.

[19:06] he rebooted during update, and now his kernel is hosed, and he's having some issues fixing it from a livecd, which may just be because i don't know how to [19:06] 2,4ghz 512ram [19:06] Leey: 512MB RAM and Ubuntu 8.10 hummm [19:06] Leey: you would probably be better off with 8.04 [19:06] Leey: have you installed the graphics card driver? [19:07] no, i checked the hardware thing and it was nothing on the list [19:07] Leey: that issue hummmm [19:07] I'm having an error when trying to modprobe fglrx.ko on 2.6.28 and I receive "Cannot allocate memory" [19:07] so i assumed it have find graphic,. [19:07] Leey: how old is your computer? [19:07] 2 years or more i think [19:08] Leey: well if it came with 512MB RAM, then it's probably pretty old [19:08] Leey: 4 years or more? [19:08] hmm, will it work better if i put in 512 more, so i have 1gb ? [19:09] Leey: probably a bit better, but it's not so much about the RAM, and 8.10 being like that, but slowness would explain it partly [19:09] Leey: also not having a graphics card driver installed is probably to do with the slowness to some extent, but RAM has nothing to do with it not providing you a driver to install [19:10] Leey: your graphics card driver issue will be to do with xorg [19:10] hey sebastien [19:10] i mean, sebsebseb [19:10] wolter: hi [19:10] hmm yeh, it says on homepage ubuntu At least 256 MB of RAM is required [19:10] good day everyone!!! [19:10] Leey: yep, and there's a trick to get later versions running on 128MB RAM [19:10] Leevi, you have 256mb ram? [19:11] 512 [19:11] oh [19:11] yay [19:11] good day everyone as well. Would anyone know why all of a sudden AUDACIOUS would be decorated with gnome window borders? Just happened the other day and won't go away. [19:11] Leey: your graphics card is prably old as well, hence this dirver not being offered issue [19:11] how can I force Samba to disallow changes in filenames, AND writes to files that are open in a linux process? Eg. rTorrent? === faeryan is now known as Neardark === Neardark is now known as faeryan [19:11] mouse-_, maybe you can set in compiz to exclude that window, but that is now, if you use compiz [19:11] Leey: 8.10 and 8.04 not that much different, except 8.04 will be suppourted longer than 8.10, and it even has KDE3 in the repo :) unlike 8.10 [19:11] wolter: Sure do === KennethP__ is now known as KennethP === Krow|Zzz is now known as Krow^ [19:12] so 8,4 works better? [19:12] btw, but do i find drivers for graphic to ubuntu? i have hercules 3d prophet 9000 pci,, [19:12] mouse-_, go to window decorations in compiz [19:12] Leey: yes it may work better on your computer [19:12] !away > Krow^ [19:12] Krow^, please see my private message [19:12] mouse-_, and add an inverter condition matching the audacious window [19:12] Leey: system > administaration > hardware drivers [19:12] Leey: anything available? [19:12] wolter: will try that. thanks! [19:12] nothng. [19:13] nothing in the list [19:13] leey: How old is this machine? [19:13] Leey: 8.04 is good [19:13] Leey: long term suppourt :) [19:13] its kind of old.. [19:13] leey: are you well versed in linux/unix? [19:13] not really xD [19:13] Leey: I think putting 8.04 on would be a good idea in your case [19:14] Leey: I think you need the fglrx driver [19:14] system > administaration > hardware drivers,, the list is empty [19:14] how do I specify a route as default in the "Editing IPv4 routes" dialog box? [19:14] sebsebseb: konversation looks pretty good..thanks [19:14] i don't mean to be a negative nancy but it's hard to get today's distros (that work perfectly well on newer computers) are a PITA to get workin on old machines [19:14] Xcell: yep it is [19:14] Leey: and you may want to file a bug report about it not being listed [19:14] how i can use some language to write with him [19:14] het got server ubuntu 8.10 and cant get on phpmyadmin with login and passw do i need to make a special acc for phpmyadmin??

[19:15] can anyone help gera fix his kernel? [19:15] Leey: where as releases such as 8.10 and the soon to be released 9.04 only a year and a half of suppourt [19:15] i think it's very manageable, but i don't know enough [19:16] hmm, but will it work better on that machine`? [19:16] Leey: 8.04 will probably [19:16] ok, [19:16] Leey: 9.04 will probably be lke 8.10 on your machine [19:16] sebsebseb: that support is only for security updates [19:16] danbhfive: I know that [19:16] hi [19:16] danbhfive: and can use ppa for later stuff [19:16] ok, so my version tells me the videocard is installed but its not? [19:16] does anyone know about setting up multiple monitors of different sizes? [19:17] Leey: no it says it knows nothing about any graphics card driver [19:17] oh, thats bad xD [19:17] I'm trying to set my eth0 to a fixed address, but I haven't been able to get the dialog box to enable to ok button. What am I missing? [19:18] I'm running Easy Peasy on my eee pc 901 - is it possible/a really bad idea to upgrade to normal ubuntu 9.04 beta? [19:18] djm62: no [19:18] the repositories seem to be identical [19:18] djm62: easypeasy is not Ubuntu [19:18] djm62: the main difference is in the kernel [19:18] so it's impossible or just a bad idea? [19:18] hmm, would ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run solve my problem? or does my version of ubuntu not recognise my video card? [19:19] Leey: oh you got ATI not Nivida [19:19] djm62: I've done a test install on eee 1000 HE of 9.04, and it works fine [19:19] !network [19:19] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:19] what's the best ui fot rtorrent, rtGui, wTorrent, any sugestion?

[19:19] Leey: ok sure go for it, try installing a driver directly from ATI [19:19] dquarter1: I like Transmission for bittorrent. [19:19] dquarter1: i use Transmission [19:19] can some 1 help me with getting something [19:19] ok i will try that, [19:20] Leey: if that messees up xorg big time, well you can just recover it from the boot loader. in recovery mode [19:20] dquarter1: deluge is another option [19:20] so no one knows about multiple monitors of varying sizes?

[19:20] i hope it fix my problem, i cant work on the computer if it is that slow all time,, hmm [19:21] casper_: what's wrong with Firefox? [19:21] I have a problem with Mozilla Firefox. Whenever I open the application, my homepage doesn't load. The browsers buttons are greyed out, and when I attempted to manually enter an URL it wont even attempt to connect to the website. I have tried reinstalling Firefox, but that hasn't solved the problem. Any ideas, they'd be greatly appreicated! [19:21] it's more the question of whether I can upgrade with apt or not [19:21] where can I get help regarding no audio with a brand new Intel motherboard ? (the bug reports seems to mention that latest alsa has only digital out) (with Jaunty) [19:21] firefox lags too hard nothing wrong with it [19:21] it just [19:21] Leey: yeah installing graphics card driver, could get rid of a lot of the slowness [19:21] pierlux: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion. [19:21] like the flash doesnt work wel with this pos computer [19:21] casper_: ok yeah I know what you mean [19:21] casper_: sudo apt-get install galeon epiphany-browser [19:21] casper_: that will get you two nice ones [19:21] i want opera [19:21] lots of policemen, no helpers. Brilliant. [19:22] djm62: well, I wouldn't install a beta release unless you can devote like a 6g partition to it. Im dont know how much space the 901 has. You gota be careful with betas/alphas. Sometimes bad bugs pop up [19:22] casper_: Opera is always a bit behind in the Ubuntu repo, but you should be able to download a deb for it from Opera's website [19:22] casper_: opera.com/download :P [19:22] casper_: also Opera is closed source and so hum [19:22] !closedsource [19:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about closedsource [19:22] ok well i going to try install videocard, thank you for all help! i might come back with feedback later on,. [19:22] opera rocks. [19:22] i dont know how to install it from a deb so yah [19:22] can someone help gera with his issue? [19:23] casper_: just download it and open it up and install, or you can via the command line :) sudo dpkg -i namegoeshere.deb once the terminal is in that folder, by default it's in home [19:23] how to reset keyring passphrase? [19:23] OK I won't bother then [19:23] Hey all [19:23] casper_: either use a terminal and sudo dpkg -i opera-9.blah.blah.blah.deb [19:23] Anyone here know if they could help me out with Counter-Striek [19:23] thank you [19:23] djm62: the release candidate might be for you then, if you want to help with testing [19:24] * sebsebseb Opera humm it may be nice, but it's still closed source and so hum. guys check out http://www.gnu.org then go to philosphey section and read about free as in freedom software and such [19:25] casper_: see avobe :D [19:25] wat [19:25] Anybody know how i would fix the counter-strike problem I have [19:25] It says ' Cannot Display this Video Mode' [19:25] casper_: Ubuntu is about freedom, check that link out to find out more, if your interested [19:25] sebsebseb: ...but it's still nice. Do you know a web browser for Java Mobile, that is so compatible with standards like Opera Mini, AND is open-source? [19:26] grawity: nope [19:26] yeah opera is a good standards follower [19:26] yep Opera is a good standards follower, but still closed source and so hum [19:26] and it's free as in beer [19:26] y does the source matter as long as you can get it? [19:27] anyone wanna collab on a python quote script for xchat? [19:27] casper_: yeah you can't get at it, with Opera [19:27] Internet Explorer might be the only open-source browser in the world, yet I'm not going to use it until it works perfecty - "open-source" isn't everything. [19:27] casper_: that's the whole point [19:27] just because it's not open source doesn't mean it's bad, in fact it kicks other browsers asses [19:27] casper_: and even as just a user, source code being open matters.

[19:28] I have installed the nautilus-open-terminal plug-in for Nautilus, and yet it does not appear in the list after Rt.Clk. Anyone else seen this in 8.04?? [19:28] casper_: find out why here http://www.gnu.org and go to the philosphey section then read most of the articles in about free software [19:28] !freedom | casper_ [19:28] casper_: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [19:28] Is there a way to reset my Gnome desktop to an initial default state without deleting my user account?

Thanks [19:30] maginot: why are you using 7.10 [19:31] because Im finishing the instalation of 8.10 to go to production [19:31] weatherkid: wine has support for directx 9, some games work and others dont - have a look at the games db at winehq.com to see if they have the game you want listed [19:32] sebsebseb: 7.10 should still be supported - I believe that normal releases are supported for 2 years [19:32] danbhfive: doesn't say much about it.

[19:39] Hey, when trying to use my headset, the sound from the output is recorded as well, i disabled all capturers except mic capture and ADC capture (when disabling one of them, the mic isnt recorded anymore as well) [19:39] mweichert: Remove them from the admin group. [19:39] mweichert: you can disable sudo to specific users, don't think you can specify it just through SSH [19:39] !sound [19:39] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[19:40] mweichert: won't work. [19:40] anybody can help me? [19:40] How can I find/bind a signal sent from a (special) key that has no binding (thus nothing shows happens on xev)? 8.10 any help would be greatly appreciated [19:40] mweichert: one question: what is the difference between local and SSH logins?

[19:42] Does anyone know of any links that describe a typical theme/layout for designating IPs on a network? I thought there was a suggested method of reserving .2-29 for servers, 30-40 for printers, etc [19:42] 100-200 for DHCP clients, etc [19:42] mweichert: what i would do is create an account for ssh without sudo and sue my account on the machine with sudo [19:42] grawity, because I want the user that's logged on locally to administrate the system. [19:43] Hello [19:43] mweichert: and it's the same user that connects both locally and over SSH? [19:43] hello anyone that wants to help me in here?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:44] grawity, no, it's a different user [19:45] mweichert: ... then simply don't add the user-who's-connecting-remotely to sudoers. [19:45] ok, my system hanged after upgrade, so i reseted it. Now I cannot get in [19:46] mweichert: To be able to use sudo, an user must be in the sudoers file (to edit: sudo visudo), or - in Ubuntu - in the 'admin' group. So, the simplest way is simply not to add other users there. [19:46] hey guys, is there somewhere where i can get a more user friendly interface for Ubuntu?

[19:57] mweichert: Hmm. In that case, I think it might be possible to replace sudo with some kind of a bash wrapper (which checks for traces of SSH, then runs original binary). If they're _really_ new, even a simple addition to ~/.bashrc could work. (I can write one.) ... But...there's always a chance of them finding out :] [19:57] carlosaore: share the details of your issue/problem in the channel.

[20:02] thrillERboy: gedit, geany, quanta plus [20:03] any suggestions for what i should use to get ubuntu on an eeepc? there seems to be a wide variety of options, from stock ubuntu + array.org kernel, or "easypeasy", or Ubuntu Netbook Remix (but does this support all the eeepc 901 hardware out of the box?) [20:03] workspace swtichers [20:03] grawity: so why even give them sudo rights? [20:03] mcmillen: I'm actually installing ubuntu on an eeepc right now [20:03] zash: they need to be able to use sudo *locally*. [20:03] mcmillen: I've used USB before but using TFTP for a net install [20:03] zash: eh, just ask mweichert why he wants that. [20:03] jamalfanaian: i'm fine with using USB or netinstall, i'm mostly interested in *which* flavor i should choose, since stock doesn't seem to work with all the hardware and there are 3 or 4 ways of going about it [20:04] grawity, its the default editor isn't it? I can't see syntax highlighting options and hiding matching tags. Or is there options to do that? [20:04] could I put this in /etc/profile ? [20:04] mcmillen: use easypeasy, works just fine [20:04] thanks sarmisak will check it [20:04] anyone knows how to change gnomenu background color? [20:04] please, someone can tell me how to install audacity 1.2.6 in my ubuntustudio ? (this is the 1.3.4 by default, and i need 1.2.6) [20:05] carlosaore: did you try right click and 'change background'? [20:05] mcmillen: I would just use the array.org website for advice... [20:05] How do I scale the CPU to one cycle for a more responsive boot. This would only be a boot script, but rather than using both cores, I would be using one to boot with. [20:06] it does nothing, in fact the menu instead of having the normal color, always is blue, with every theme, and you can see the buttons [20:06] anyone knows a good program for simulating digital circuits ? [20:07] is it possible to install kde4.2 in Hardy? [20:07] b10h44rd: There are a couple in the repositories. I have not really utilized any of them, but is worth a look. [20:08] hi all - since upgrading my sound has stopped working - i think its down to a new sound system being in the update - this has stopped my sound working - how can i revert back? [20:09] ktos pomoze mi z glosem w ubuntu? [20:09] so far I have had no luck in finding out how to get 4.2 in 8.04 Hardy [20:09] !pl | phater [20:09] phater: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl [20:09] steveccc: what did you upgrade to? [20:09] tmbigrigg: sudo apt-get install kde [20:09] After booting and logging in edit the grub entries [20:09] > a) Open Terminal from Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal [20:09] > b) Type sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [20:09] > c) The password system asks for is your password (The Logged in user's) [20:09] > d) Search for the kernel entry in the file and add the above acpi=off to it. [20:09] > e)Save the file and reboot. [20:09] gabriel_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:09] e3co will that install kde4.2 or 3.5? [20:09] picassotamus: i didnt specifically upgrade that - just the general update in ubuntu and it stopped working [20:09] tmbigrigg: I think the only supported option is to upgrade to jaunty... [20:10] bylem na forum ubuntu.pl [20:10] ale ie znalzlem tam odpowiedzi [20:10] nikt nie potrafil mi pomic z glosem /;. [20:10] is Jaunty any improvement to Intrepid? [20:10] where is a good place to go for help with WINE? [20:10] tmbigrigg: it certainly is for my graphics card [20:10] I have a problem: in firefox when I save a webpage to bookmarks it dissapears after I restart the PC, I have tried creating a new profile but the problem still happens, can somebody help me? [20:10] I had some graphics issues with intrepid [20:10] tmbigrigg: Jaunty issues & discussions in #ubuntu+1 channel please [20:11] YixilTesiphon: Try /#wine or looking for it in the main or start window. I guess. [20:11] hi get this error dpkg was interrupted, when I try to install anything [20:11] hi [20:12] thrillERboy: try: sudo dpkg-configure -a [20:12] hi [20:12] is there anyway to limit synaptic download speed? [20:12] thrillERboy: Have you ran the update on the repositories? [20:12] danbhfive, I've tried that, It gives me a bunch of options I'm lost there [20:12] vigo, nope how to do that? [20:13] what are the options? [20:13] No one for me ??? :) [20:13] please, someone can tell me how to install audacity 1.2.6 in my ubuntustudio ? (this is the 1.3.4 by default, and i need 1.2.6) [20:13] thrillERboy: looking now, [20:13] olinuxx: try packages.ubuntu.com [20:14] hello [20:14] thank danbhfive [20:14] there are girls in this chat ?? [20:14] sarmisak: if i use easypeasy for the eeepc, how do i upgrade when ubuntu updates to e.g. jaunty? do i need to wait for a new version of easypeasy to come out, or can i just update sources.list and dist-upgrade as usual? [20:14] use aptitude, dhelp, installing uninstalling packages [20:14] http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/pipermail/ilugc/2006-August/027858.html [20:14] can anyone help me with diagnosing a sound issue please [20:14] I have a problem: in firefox when I save a webpage to bookmarks it dissapears after I restart the PC, I have tried creating a new profile but the problem still happens, can somebody help me?

[20:15] I would like to know how to tell to Writer to ignore the first page of my document into the page numbering, thanks === mafsi is now known as mafsi_ [20:16] ActionParsnip: ubuntustudio 8.10 i think [20:17] i think my problem is that the update switched me to pulse audio - is there a way to switch back [20:17] mcmillen: usually packages upgrade in every distribution, easypeasy is just kernel and other critical software made for eeepc, you won't have to worry about openoffice, compiz, etc. [20:17] olinuxx: http://linuxappfinder.com/package/audacity [20:17] ActionParsnip: but with the link-page that danbhfive give me, there is no 1.26 version, only 1.24 on Dapper and 1.3.x with other [20:17] Does anyone know a good program for taking an image and being able to print it out across multiple pages?

I am using fluxbox, if its relevant. [20:19] ActionParsnip: thanks, for the links ! but, same result ... [20:19] hi [20:19] ActionParsnip: and danbhfive , i think, i must go to compil it ... :/ not my cup of tea ;o) [20:19] bye and thanks [20:20] :) [20:20] I'm installing ubuntu with the alternate CD... and I had a crash when installing packages [20:20] lewench: have you checked screenlets? [20:20] Xcell: now I am [20:20] sarmisak, No I'll check it out now. [20:20] hi, is there any tool to rename files from FILE.EXT to file.ext (to lowercase them)? [20:21] how can I skip partitionning/base system install and get directly to install packages in installer ? [20:21] (I don't want to redo everything) [20:21] whats the best way to mount an ubunu filesystem from a remote box on the same network [20:22] kane77: try this; http://blog.spikesource.com/bashstringconversion.htm [20:22] guyzmo: Make a good backup disk after you have it configured. [20:22] steveccc: ssh or to access the computer vnc [20:22] !ssh | steveccc [20:22] steveccc: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [20:22] steveccc: I would recommend NFS [20:22] !vnc | steveccc [20:22] steveccc: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [20:22] sarmisak, found this: perl -MFile::Copy -e 'move $_, lc($_) foreach glob "*"' [20:22] hi, i've got a really annoying problem here. Wifi works, networmanager etc. too. But when I want to connect to a server with vpnc, i get an error message: resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink [20:22] how do I solve that problem? [20:22] steveccc: or yeah NFS [20:22] i want to remote mount them rather than control the machine [20:22] !nfs | steveccc [20:22] steveccc: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [20:22] kane77: that's a choice ;) [20:22] p2p for ubuntu like ares or smt similar?

I didn't have this problem before my upgrade to this version of ubuntu [20:23] vigo - what you mean ? [20:24] victor__: what are you using? torrent, emule? === keffie_jayx is now known as effie_jayx [20:24] what I'm saying is that the installer did not went until grub loader and I still miss a few packages to be installed [20:24] victor__: they are almost the same, maybe except for configuration and names etc. [20:24] Does anyone know a good program for taking an image and being able to print it out across multiple pages? [20:24] ledzippelin: rename /etc/resolv.conf then create a symlink to it called /etc/resolv.conf [20:25] ActionParsnip, hm rename it to what? and how do i create a symlink? could you tell me the commands? [20:25] ScottG: you mean like a poster? [20:26] guyzmo: Install it, again, then grab all the packages that you use daily, then make a backup set, takes 2 CD-Rs. I am not certain , but maybe if you compile the kernel for a boot initiator, that install could be default setting. with those packages that you use or have used. [20:26] ledzippelin: rename it anything you wish [20:26] "The linux kernel needs to be locally compiled in order to compile the microdia driver." - how do i do that? [20:26] sarmisak: YYea [20:26] ScottG: raster something might be the keyword you are looking for [20:26] there is a mistake on the shipit site.. it says ShipIt is currently closed [20:26] We'll be back in a few days, shipping Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) CDs. [20:26] it should say 9.04 jaunty right? [20:26] ScottG: have you tried picasa? [20:27] ledzippelin: sudo mv /etc/resolv.conf /etc/old_resolv.conf; sudo ln -s /etc/old_resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf [20:27] rohan: 9.04 is not released yet [20:27] vigo - well, my point is to avoid going through the whole install process, I'm installing through qemu on a harddrive (the CD reader is dead) and it takes hours to do everything [20:27] rohan: no, 9.04 is due two weeks later [20:27] sebsebseb: correct [20:27] danbhfive: I used rasterbator on windows before and it was pretty good. it kinda pixelated things a lot though. It would be a big save on ink though, so I might check it out again [20:27] sarmisak: can picasa do that? [20:27] sarmisak: right. [20:27] ActionParsnip, I'll try that. Thank you very much! :) [20:28] Please CAN ANYONE help me? I need to know how to tell to Writer to ignore the first page into the pages numbering, thanks [20:28] sebsebseb, sarmisak : but if you had read correctly, you'd realize that they'd close shipit for juanty, not intrepid. [20:28] guyzmo: Exactly, that is what I was kinda pointing towards, is like a NetInstall, but with a USB/CD-r assisted. [20:28] ledzippelin: i have no idea why it expects a symlink but we can humour it [20:28] !ot | rohan [20:28] rohan: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks!

[20:40] Zezu: could you please write the command ? i saw that somebody made another suggestion [20:40] trinidadflores: probably with some advanced Linux config editing, you could do what you want [20:40] ActionParsnip, that is detected pretty easily these days [20:40] the problem is they dont get their homework done [20:40] trinidadflores: you can install squid, and forward your port 80 to squid and limit its usage through squidguard or dansguardian ;) [20:41] Desen: ie: /mnt/ntfs && sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ntfs [20:41] bah shit [20:41] victor__: yeah of course there are p2p and torrent programs [20:41] oops [20:41] ?

[20:41] victor__: what do you want to download? [20:41] !best [20:41] 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. [20:42] Desen, you said sda2 was the one your were having trouble with did you not ? [20:42] victor__: I really like Ktorrent :) [20:42] Zezu: yes [20:42] Desen, then yes, thats why i corrected it [20:42] Hi, I'm using a vmware image called Grandma's Lamp, is based on xubuntu and I want to upgrade the php version from 5.1.2 to 5.2.4 [20:42] grawity, hey, can I ask you something quick? is there a way to disable sudo to a file, not necessarily a command ? [20:42] how can I do this [20:42] Zezu: sudo mkdir /mnt/ntfs && sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/ntfs [20:42] I tried running apt-get upgrade php [20:42] sarmisak<> does both of those work on the 64-bit os? [20:42] but didn't update the version [20:42] Zezu:shouldn't it be sda2 ? :D [20:42] mweichert: ...I don't think so. And what do you mean "sudo to a file"? [20:42] yes [20:42] trinidadflores: of course [20:42] Hi, can somebody help me. There is user who spams the ubuntu wiki with links to a website. For example this diff: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX?action=diff&rev1=99&rev2=98 [20:43] grawity, for example, I added the function to /etc/profile - and I want to prohibit sudoers from editing that file [20:43] Zezu: ok, i think i understand now [20:43] is there anything I can/should do? [20:43] Desen, pasting error i suppose and trying to do multiple things at once [20:43] I'm trying to run a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit system, but I keep getting a "permission denied" error (file has already been chmod a+rwx 'd) - anything i can do about this? [20:43] the reason why i ask is i have tried to install both and it tells me that i have the wrong version for my os [20:43] ZeZu, i am going to try your command [20:43] Desen, i just want to see what error "mount" gives you in this case : ok do try it [20:43] trinidadflores: you can set it up easily, in our office I have not disabled usage of facebook, but I convert the images to black and white so no one can photo surf ;) [20:44] trinidadflores: did you download it? [20:44] mweichert: first, the function can be removed simply by typing 'unset sudo'. Second, there is no way you can protect a file from editing. Remember, sudo essentially means root, and root is the all powerful user. There's one way though: chattr +i /etc/profile [20:44] ZeZu, http://pastebin.com/f467ad8c6 [20:44] trinidadflores: have you tried apt-get install squid squidguard? [20:44] i did last night and then tried to install them and when it did not work i deleted them [20:44] yes [20:45] mweichert: If you set attribute +i, the OS will refuse to change the file, until you remove the attribute (by doing chattr -i /etc/profile) - and only root can do that. [20:45] grawity, ok, thanks [20:45] Desen, ok and this was never part of a raid volume? [20:45] trinidadflores: try this; sudo apt-get install squid squidguard [20:45] stas": Did you look at : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide? [20:45] trinidadflores: it should install just fine [20:46] mweichert: now, a question to you: what if John types 'unset sudo' on his shell and removes my function? [20:46] Firstarter shows an connection attempt every few minutes on port 1900. Does anyone know what program is causing this? [20:46] ZeZu, i am sorry but i dont know what is a RAID volume. i have simply created partitions using Partition MAgic under Windows XP. i guess the answer is NO, i havent used it as a RAID [20:46] Trijntje: TCP and UDP ports 1900 are used by UPnP, I think. [20:46] grawity, I was going to create a function for unset as well [20:46] . [20:46] ooops [20:47] im running it now [20:47] mweichert: And if I type /usr/bin/sudo ? You will need a function for that too. [20:47] hoe can I update php? [20:47] Desen, ok at some point this partition was damanged, I would recommend booting from a recent windows boot disk that has ntfs support and running chkdisk [20:48] Desen, i think bootdisk.com or the like has many of them [20:48] Trijntje: You can see them at Steve Gibsons site. I think they are what grawity said. [20:48] It appears that my iptables will not allow X11 forwarding using ssh -YtC user@server /path/to/program. I can connect via SSH client absolutely fine, but when I attempt to run a graphical program it just hangs there. I can assume it is iptables based on two findings: 1) Before I implemented this policy everything worked just fine, 2) if I flush and delete these rules, and change the default policy to ACCEPT, then everything works fine. That bein [20:48] grawity: I found that on google, that the router could be using UPnP or something like that? But i checked, this is not the case [20:48] mweichert: But if you create function /usr/bin/sudo { with the same content you use for sudo }; then it should work fine against your users. [20:48] Any help would be damn nice right now. [20:48] ZeZu, is there nothing i can do from Ubuntu ? Would hate to use Windows again, even just for chdsk [20:48] !vnc | distatica [20:48] distatica: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [20:48] in terminal it says that squidguard finished but i dont see i it in my programs [20:48] where do i find it [20:48] Trijntje: A router might do that - mine does, for example (even though it doesn't have any related configuration). [20:48] !iptables | distatica [20:48] distatica: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [20:49] Desen, unfortunately i dont know that linux has any utilities to repair ntfs paritions, unless fsck has been updated to support them at some point [20:49] distatica: btw, your very long message got cut off at "That bein...." [20:49] Desen, also it would be a simple dos prompt, not windows [20:49] Desen, you can try "man fsck" and learn how to use it, and try running it on that parititon (sda2) [20:49] Didn't realize it was so long, I just mentioned that msot of the information I can find on this suggests that port 22 is the ONLY port used. [20:50] ZeZu, i will [20:50] Which is odd, since I can access SSH normally, but just not X11, and disabling the firewall fixes this issue. [20:50] grawity, thanks again for your help === soreau_ is now known as soreau [20:50] ZeZu: thanx, will try my best [20:51] do you guys think it would be ok if I used ubuntu instead of ubuntu-server for an all purpose server? I would like the gui... [20:51] !lists [20:51] mail is another medium to communicate. Ubuntu mailinglists can be found at http://lists.ubuntu.com [20:51] distatica: Does the firewall allow connections to localhost? Your ssh client makes several connections to the X server running at 127.0.0.1 - if I remember correctly. (I'm not sure though - my X forwarding experience is limited to Windows :) [20:51] sebsebseb: I appreciate the information, but that is information on iptables and VNC, I definitely don't want VNC in this case, and I don't think the problem is necessarily truly an iptables one, just some weird mix between sshd / x11 / iptables. [20:51] fevel: yes you can install server stuff into the desktop edition [20:51] fevel: 8.04 is recommended for servers by the way [20:51] !jaunty [20:51] Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 23rd, 2009 - Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April 23rd - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [20:51] grawity: on client or host? [20:51] Desen, try "ntfsfix" [20:51] hi [20:52] Desen, if not available, try sudo apt-get ntfsfix [20:52] distatica: ok [20:52] distatica: On the client - the one you're typing 'ssh user@host' at. [20:52] Desen, sorry: if not available, try sudo apt-get install ntfsfix [20:52] sebsebseb: just out of curiosity... shouldnt I be using ubuntu-server? [20:52] ZeZu: last thing before i kill myself if i fail to recover the partition: can you be more explicit on using the Windows XP Bootable CD ? [20:52] if i want to do a network boot do i have to have ubuntu server running ? [20:52] ZeZu, i have tried ntfsfix. FAILED [20:52] fevel: a GUI can also be installed into the server edition [20:52] fevel: what kind of server do you want to run? [20:52] distatica: So, try allowing all connections where both source and destination is localhost. It might help. [20:53] ok [20:53] sebsebseb: for now its an all purpose installation... it would probably be a proxy or an apache server [20:53] Desen, its just a dos bootdisk, not even windows, it will bring you to a dos command prompt .. normally meant to be on floppy disks [20:53] sebsebseb: or even both [20:53] !server | fevel [20:53] fevel: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html - Use the #ubuntu-server channel for support [20:53] !lamp | fevel [20:53] fevel: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [20:53] Zezu, i think the Windows Bootable CD chkdsk might be the only answer. what commands should i use ? [20:53] !proxy | fevel [20:53] fevel: Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR and web (Java, etc) gateways due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks. If you're using mibbit, please try joining #ubuntu again. Mibbit takes a long time to connect, so you may have missed a message to do this. [20:53] fevel: ok the last one not relivant [20:54] Desen, i dont know how much more specific i can be, there are ton of them, I'd guess you would want to use XP+ level disk [20:54] currently i builded ubuntu from execute on iso.then reboot but there is some error i think what should i do just this is write in commandline : "Busybox built in shell" [20:54] Desen, command = chkdisk [20:54] ZeZu, i forgot. i dont have a Floppy Disk [20:54] :D [20:54] grawity: aha! there we go [20:54] Desen, is your board capable of booting from a usb disk ? [20:54] good night everyone, bye. [20:54] sebsebseb: So you say im better off installing ubuntu-desktop into a server install? [20:54] ZeZu, yes, it can [20:55] grawity: that was exactly the problem, very nice. [20:55] fevel: I am saying you should do 8.04 for your server [20:55] Desen, then you should be able to make a bootable usb drive with the files [20:55] <__jeff_o> has anybody here installed mydns? I'm having a problem with it. I've set it up and can connect to it fine locally, but when I try to dig it over the internet it doesn't work. [20:55] fevel: check out the links I just got the bot to give you [20:55] ZeZu i have Rewritable CD's. and a CD-RW. why should i bother using the flash stick [20:55] Hi all. I've got kubuntu intrepid 64bit and I'm having trouble with the ALC888 onboard audio. I've got my headphones plugged into the front jack, and I can hear the startup/shutdown sounds with no problem -- but YouTube, VLC, etc. aren't playing sound that I can hear. I've added myself to the 'audio' group in /etc/group and I've even rebooted after that, and that didn't work. What would my next step be? [20:55] Desen, feel free to use whatever method works best for you [20:56] sebsebseb: yes...because of the lts? but theres no support here in brazil anyway, so dont you think I should use the latest? Or 8.04 because of the stability? [20:56] fevel: a GUI isn't needed for a server, as long as you know what your doing :) [20:56] fevel: suppourt as in security updates [20:56] Zezu thanx, will try and see whats up with that partition. will come back if i encounter any future problems [20:56] grawity, vigo: i just found out Vuze/Azureus uses it, thanks for your help [20:56] ok [20:56] Again: Currently i builded ubuntu from execute on iso.then reboot but there is some error i think what should i do just this is write in commandline : "Busybox built in shell" [20:56] fevel: LTS releases get security updates for longer [20:56] fevel: What sebsebseb is saying is spot on. also 8,04 is supported longer than others. [20:57] yeah ill be sticking with 8.04 [20:57] for sure [20:57] Hello === adam is now known as Guest82481 [20:58] gfhf [20:58] anyone familiar with customizing the terminal?

[22:01] using the default video driver - im not sure what you mean by 'does x start'? [22:01] ok, now it's working, but for some reason firefox is crashing only in one applet :O [22:01] jaek_: the same should work for all java implementations ... sudo aptitude install ant ant-optional ant-doc [22:01] how can i find the reason? [22:02] theweeks, X is the graphical server, more specifically X.org The default driver for your video card will depend on what it is. [22:02] dschulz, ah thanks... thought it might be in a sub package of sun-java6-jdk because that automatically installs it [22:02] MyWay, open a terminal and start firefox from there -- might be able to see error messages that way [22:02] thanks === awway is now known as lukinfore [22:02] theweeks, have you tried accessing the virtual terminal with ctrl-alt-f1 or similar? [22:03] how can I test that my MCE remote is working? it used to work (with XBMC) but then it just stopped... the receiver still blinks, but nothing happens.. (irw shows nothing, but I'm not sure if that's a reasonable test) [22:03] no what is that? [22:03] I heard ctrl alt backspace is gone in Jaunty -- correct? or is that temporary on the beta version only? [22:04] mrwes, : is gone and is not temporary [22:04] mrwes: it's disabled, read here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/beta [22:04] theweeks, if you type ctrl-alt-f1, you will be presented with a command line terminal. you might use it fix the graphical system which is obviously not working.

You can define different video drivers with it. [22:05] j/ #xubuntu [22:05] ! dontzap [22:05] To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable » [22:05] http://albertomilone.com/wordpress/?p=335 for re-enabling CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE [22:06] ActionParsnip, thanks [22:06] test [22:06] okay ctrl-alt-f1 got me to a login prompt [22:06] good [22:07] ActionParsnip, what's the reason they took it out? [22:07] theweeks, so you can login and edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf. or otherwise try to fix things. [22:07] mrwes: no idea, i think its mega useful [22:07] ActionParsnip, definitely! [22:07] ActionParsnip: me too [22:08] mrwes: this is in the link I send earlier: "o reduce issues experienced by users who accidentally trigger the key combo" [22:08] just today told a friend to use it! [22:08] how can you kick out a user that is logged in?? [22:08] assuming your are root [22:08] ok im looking at xorg.conf [22:08] im confused there is no md5 to donwload when you download the iso the iso download automatically starts [22:08] mrwes Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is now disabled, to reduce issues experienced by users who accidentally trigger the key combo. Users who do want this function can enable it in their xorg.conf, or via the command dontzap --disables [22:09] im not really sure what i should be changing though [22:09] ActionParsnip and oCean_ maybe the should be an option on the shutdown/restart menu "Restart Window Manager Only" [22:09] m [22:09] they* [22:09] theweeks, might let me see it in pastebin as well as the output of the command: sudo lshw [22:09] hey again! i solved the problem wuth the slow insterface and laggy windows when i drag them around!! ho did i do it: click the update button, update all things and pew pew, no problems anymore!

[22:22] Botux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [22:22] something gui based [22:22] Botux, you have to look up the md5sum number at ubuntu.com [22:22] oCean_, thanks :) [22:22] that wasnt explained there and i have no idea where to look on ubuntu.com [22:23] also what do you mean by 'first try vesa'? [22:23] theweeks, it would be useful to have the whole file, but under the one related to the graphics/screen [22:23] theweeks, as the driver [22:23] anyone know how i could, if possible, make my terminal window scroll the text up by default instead of down? [22:23] so add the line Driver "vesa" [22:23] the 'InputDriver' sections are related to 2 mice and the keyboard [22:23] Gunslinger2: never seen anything like that.. not saying it's impossible.. I just haven't seen it [22:23] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg only finds "Default Screen" and "Configured Video Device".

[22:24] Gunslinger2: any special reason you want it to go "backwards"? or it's just a matter of preference? [22:24] Botux, from there, there is a link to the hashes page [22:24] i think is peroblem of server [22:25] preference really, customizing my desktop and it would be easier for me to read that way [22:25] theweeks, back in moment [22:25] Gunslinger2, what are you reading? [22:25] the terminal [22:25] I have 2 interfaces, an outside and an inside, I want the inside to get its IP via DHCP but I dont want it to get a default gw set, as the default gw is set staticly on the outside interface. any ideas? [22:25] Gunslinger2, maybe the | less and/or | more would help out some [22:26] well i have my terminal embedded into my desktop [22:26] theweeks, im back [22:26] Gunslinger2, transparent you mean? [22:26] yes, transparent [22:27] the cuestion is important but i am looking what this error ignored [22:27] im having trouble exiting vi [22:27] ..,.

[22:29] mrwes i fllowed the instructions and it says they are the same [22:29] qcjn: ctrl-alt-arrow keyes [22:29] Botux, then install it [22:29] i tried [22:29] probably because i accidently stopped another vi job and can't kill it [22:29] keep getting the same error [22:29] qcjn, dunno if the alt + 1 or +2 works in compiz [22:29] ok, i want the one like mrwes says, but for me it changes room in xchat [22:29] theweeks, did you start it with sudo :sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:30] : unrelated to vi [22:30] i am the most inteligent but sometimes i need help [22:30] no i can't save the xorg file [22:30] its driving me crazy i cant even use the check cd option in the menu it keeps going back to that error [22:30] qcjn, hrmm...I'm using xchat and it doesn't do that. Take a look at System | preferences | keyboard shortcuts [22:30] I know how you feel drunkenmonkey [22:30] it gives me an error probably because of the stopped vi process [22:31] mrwes: ok, i ll check that [22:31] theweeks, hmm. saddly, probably exit and try nano [22:31] the weeks dido you try to edit it as root? [22:32] theweeks, try running sudo update-alternatives –config editor [22:32] from a terminal to change your default editor to nano [22:32] im editing as the account i created [22:32] Gunslinger2: have you seen/used any kind of terminal that worked the way you described?

[22:32] i tried to play a radio through lan...entered the radio ip on vlc but ubuntu doesnt allow to play it.....windows on the contrary allows it...what shud i do [22:33] the weeks to save changes to the xorg. conf you will need to append sudovto the front of the command [22:33] slart: thanks =) [22:33] kohlrak: but of course you've already read that in man man ;) [22:33] theweeks sudo vi or sudo nano [22:33] theweeks, to not loose work, you can do :w /home/yourusername/xorg.conf [22:33] Slart: there's a man man? [22:33] no still fairly new to ubuntu/linux. messed around with it a few times but just getting into it as im using it as a server/desktop [22:33] does overclocking a router really improve performance at all?

[22:42] theweeks, suggestions: try different video drivers until one works. Google your exact video card to see which one is best.

[23:17] Hodapp: cronjobs that belong to root run as root afaik [23:18] Hodapp, daily.cron is run from the system wide cron /etc/crontab [23:18] Either way, this cron job is not running for some reason [23:18] ugliefrog: you have googled for it? I'm pretty sure they have a site [23:18] try as I might, I can't seem to find the package I need to install to run a bluetooth PAN. Does anyone know what it is? [23:18] but if I start it manually as sudo, it works just fine [23:18] brb [23:18] slart:Yah they have a site but not a deb package [23:18] Hodapp, did you make the script in daily.cron +x ? [23:18] Hodapp: cronjobs can be tricky for other reasons that permissions [23:18] mrwes: Yes. [23:19] permissions and owner match all other files in the directory [23:19] Hodapp, are there spaces in the script name? [23:19] no. [23:19] So, I'm told that one should use a Windows partition tool instead of a linux one because Windows is anal. Does that not apply to Wubi? [23:19] ugliefrog: oh.. so you were looking for a deb package for cinepaint? .. tried getdeb? [23:19] Mike_lifeguard: Wubi don't use that [23:19] #!/bin/sh is good as the first line, right? [23:19] Hodapp, does the script run with ./ ? [23:19] Mike_lifeguard: well maybe temporaily, but not for long term Ubuntu usage [23:19] slart:not there either i was surprised [23:19] mrwes: Yes. [23:19] oh, it even says it doesn't create a partition :D [23:20] I guess I should read the whole page before piping up [23:20] Mike_lifeguard: what you on about Wubi? and Wubi puts Ubuntu in a part of Windows [23:20] Hodapp, sorry to ask so many questions..heh.. it's owned by root and rwx by root? [23:20] Mike_lifeguard: and gives you boot loaders, and then you can't run them both at same time, unlike a virtual machine [23:20] mrwes: Yes. Permissions and owner match everything else in the directory. [23:20] ugliefrog: hmm... then I don't really know where to look.. you could use checkinstall to create your own little package I think.. I've never used it myself though so I can't really say if it's easy or not [23:20] Right, which is not what I want. [23:20] so it's irrelevant... but I guess I should still get a partition tool... [23:21] Mike_lifeguard: and many reasons not to do wubi for long term usage [23:21] slart:ok thanks ill look into it [23:21] Mike_lifeguard: and for partitning Gparted :) [23:21] Mike_lifeguard: ,but it's generally best to let Vista do it's own partition instead of Gparted [23:21] I have XP [23:21] Mike_lifeguard: thats' fine then, Gparted is fine [23:21] ok, I'll use that; thanks [23:22] Mike_lifeguard: however [23:22] Does cron maintain any logs? [23:22] Hodapp, pastebin your /etc/crontab [23:22] Mike_lifeguard: however I want to tell you something in private, regarding next Ubuntu, because otherwise get people going on about it here probably, and that's not the idea of this channel [23:22] hello [23:22] can i install "only" the following with the Minimal Install cd? 1.
