[00:14] RedMushroom: su will ask you for the root password, and on a standard install of Ubuntu, root doesn't get a password for security reasons [00:14] Shock, well the only thing i did recently was shut off the system take the hard drive out and put my vista one in [00:15] sudo su worked. thank you very much [00:15] Is anyone going to answer my question? =( [00:15] anyone here use ubuntu on an ovh dedicated serve ?

[00:57] arooni-mobile: if you're using recovery mode, and you're using the root terminal, you don't need the sudo, but yes [00:57] natan-: general purpose sizes.... root "/" = 8-12gigs ... /swap 1 gig unless you're using hybernate or something like that then it's 1.5x your ram.. the rest for /home [00:57] arooni-mobile: just sudo fsck / should work [00:57] scunizi, it reads "itunes" are not currently supported by linux, only playlist/file sync...

[00:58] i tried one tutorial, but it was not a success [00:58] tj83_: you could run windows in a VM like virtual box or VMWare and access it that way [00:59] arooni-mobile: fsck shouldn't be batched, you must make conscious decisions about it [00:59] scunizi, shame.... i was going to recruit a friend from windows.... only condition was itunes. [00:59] scunizi, so resources for VM [00:59] arooni-mobile: use -y. but be careful. that tells it to auto-answer yes to ALL questions [00:59] no* [00:59] also, i just installed ubuntu after practice running with the live cd, and it says it has 283 updates available for me [00:59] should i install them all?

[01:00] no ram? that is pretty low power [01:00] also; can i learn WHY this happened? is it a dead drive (its < 1 year old and makes no noise); but we did power off by holding down power button a few times [01:00] running on virtual memory? :) [01:00] hi [01:00] scunizi, i know... i try to convert everyone i know... but it usually fails.... thing is.... i dont understand why its so hard for the people to take linux... if more did, problems would get solved. [01:01] because people are afraid of their computers [01:01] arooni-mobile: if the computer is turned off while its still being used, it can corrupt the hard drive [01:01] ok, someone just stole my password [01:01] * tj83_ is happy.... they just dont know.

You can freehand it, though [03:27] oobe, GIMP is like photoshop [03:27] I used to load it from terminal - build it right from file off nvidia site [03:27] Fezzler: what does your amd processor have to do with an nvidia driver? what exactly is your question [03:27] clearscreen: i don't know what that is...where can i find it [03:27] don't know what to do [03:27] any way to make a screensaver the background of a GDM theme, like you can with xwinwrap.. is this possible?

[04:06] tgr_: no, what you outputted is fine, test it out [04:06] is there a problem with /media/iomega being the mountpoint or should it be /home/iomega? [04:06] digitalexploit: sadly no, cant get money (too young) and cant find my flash drive, so i guess ill take the chance. To partition Ubuntu, must i boot in live CD, or will windows auto do that when installing?? [04:06] TunnlRat: kind of like fraps? [04:06] tgr_: your choice [04:06] ok [04:06] tgr_: whatever you want, just make sure you sudo mkdir /media/iomega [04:06] but now everytime i want to mount or umount the device what do i have to do? mount UUID=D27431CF7431B6D7?

[04:08] so next question i have is what happens if it gets unplugged or turned off without umounting it? what do i have to do [04:08] PCTeacher012: If the liveCD works, then you can run the live environment [04:09] musikgoat|main: my installation stopped. [04:09] :( [04:09] is ubotouou a bot?

[04:10] tgr_: possibly [04:10] PCTeacher012: but you don't want to make changes while you are running the OS [04:10] Ropechoborra -> you can use rm to delete it [04:10] ok cool thanks for everything guys! [04:10] is it possible to take a space from my second partition on transfer it to my primary partition? :S [04:10] PCTeacher012: so you'll need to do a bootloader rescue from a linux cd [04:10] hi [04:10] ok i need an unrar program that supports 3.0 not the free unrar-free thta only supports up to 2.0 [04:10] Ropechoborra: use "purge" [04:10] xsg: read the link ubottu gave you [04:10] ubotouou: Well, i dont want to boot into linux, i only want to copy files after i install windows, then delete it [04:10] xsg: try unrar-nonfree [04:10] jrib, purge? apt-get purge? [04:11] Ropechoborra: yes [04:11] yeh it gave me thow do i get unrar non free [04:11] anyone? :S [04:11] xsg: it tells you to use "unrar", not "unrar-free" [04:11] musikgoat: Already tried lol, wont letme :p [04:11] !helpme | dsdeiz [04:11] dsdeiz: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

[04:16] cool tip lstarnes [04:16] And there is more can I get some help real real quick [04:16] kriel: ubotouou is not a bot [04:16] ... oh, wait. ubotouou is a person. Sorry! -tries ubottu- >.< [04:17] ubotouou: Okay lol, thanks, ill keep that in mind if i install again, all i need is something better than Wine to keep me, because half my programs from windows dont run correctly [04:17] lol [04:17] Anyone? [04:17] clear [04:17] !ask [04:17] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:17] PCTeacher012: you don't need windows softwares or wine at all. there are subistitues that work better under linux than windows. So what type of apps do you usually wannt use? [04:18] tgr_: users is the option, add it at the end before the numbers ( comma after ro and no space) [04:18] And another question, actually. Anyone know about a way to average read/write to solid state media in Ubuntu so as to preserve drive life? [04:18] OvernightPR: what do you mean by average? [04:19] OK, this is for anyone, I am having problem adding of deleting or going using add/remove I get this message [04:19] (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [04:19] ubotouou: Programs there is no replace for, photoshop, but gimp doesnt equal, not close, Audition (adobe) but Ardour isnt close, Pivot Hotkeys, nothing close, iTunes, nothing close, sorry :( lol [04:19] Okay, I'm having trouble burning DVD+R DL's. My first issue was that my burner didn't support that format. I've since solved that, but now with the new burner, brasero is saying that it doesn't have the plugins to support it. cdrecord pukes on me. Any help?

[04:20] PCTeacher012: it's hard to find something excately like itunes, but gimp is pretty great for me instead of photoshop [04:20] This is the problem I am having anyone help me [04:20] @ muskigoat Well, solid state media dies after about 10k read/write cycles. I thought that I had read about an app that essentially moved the swap (and possibly directories?) around during use to prevent repeated writes to the same sector. [04:20] OvernightPR: (i believe) every ssd manufacturer uses a layer between the physical media and the OS access, which randomizes the actual location on the disk that the data is written to, thus preserving life on the flash chip cells [04:20] ubotouou: I need exact photoshop, Gimp just confuses me [04:20] lol [04:20] can anyone help me to get my themes working correctly? [04:20] i just installed ctwm how do i switch to it? [04:20] so UUID=D27431CF7431B6D7 /media/iomega ntfs defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 should be UUID=D27431CF7431B6D7 /media/iomega ntfs defaults errors=remount-ro 0 1 [04:20] i got photoshop [04:20] can someone help [04:20] OvernightPR: ahh, well, i recommend never using swap on ssd anyways [04:20] ?

[04:22] @ Muskigoat: How would I change that after install? Just remove "swap" with GParted? [04:23] it was tgr_: defaults,errors=remount-ro,users 0 1 [04:23] @PCTeacher012 What do you use PS for? [04:23] tgr_: yes :-) [04:23] or maybe not [04:23] is my computer so messed up nobody can see me type?? [04:23] Hello [04:23] IRC BROKEN??

[04:28] keres: you're thinking like windows style hmmm [04:28] i think there should be more than one channel for ubuntu [04:28] the number of people is amazing lol [04:28] gedinfo, same password [04:29] deco : There is many channel for ubuntu [04:29] How do I know what the two packagmanger are and how do i delete [04:29] I get an error stating 'dpkg --cofigure -a' needs to be run manually. [04:29] ketes: you don't need a check everytime you start up [04:29] I don't really know what a package manager is [04:29] ubotuouo: no, i run linux mainly. I'm wondering how to do these, as i have always skipped them when they come up. "Routine disk checks" i guess. [04:29] su does not accept that password for some reason. [04:29] exit [04:29] it says unprivileged user can not mount ntfs block devices using the external fuse library. either mount the volume as root, or rebuild ntfs-3g with integrated fue support and make it setuid root. please see more information at http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged [04:29] I did that gedinfo do you want me to give you pastebin [04:29] gentubuntu: Use sudo instead of su. [04:29] gedinfo: single user [04:29] er, gedinfo. [04:30] how do i unsubscribe from the stupid lanuchpad email list, i get 1000+ emails a day? [04:30] gedinfo: Ubuntu doesn't use the root account (it's locked), so su won't work. Use sudo instead. [04:30] gentubuntu, gui way system>admin> system monitor >proccesses [04:31] is it possible to unlock the root account? :S [04:31] how do you _purposely_ start the "Routine disk check"s to check your hard drive for bad sectors and such? [04:31] Thank you very much for explaining this. I guess I still was thinking about my old RedHat 6.2 days! [04:31] anyone knows if the TV-tuner card "Vista View Saber" is supported in ubuntu / linux? [04:31] dsdeiz: It is. But there's no real reason to do so. [04:31] dpkg: status database area is locked by another process\ [04:31] it's damn cheap and has two tuners (one analog, one atsc/qam) [04:31] 2.6.27 kernels (Jaunty) won't run on my laptop. 2.6.24 kernels work. Is this a place I can ask for help to get Jaunty up? [04:31] jsh_: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support [04:31] jsh_: [04:31] no [04:31] nevermind [04:32] so close [04:32] tgr_: darn, there is one other thing... you have to add your user to have that privilege, go to system -> admin -> users and groups [04:32] Flannel: thanks [04:33] Ravel what do I do know that I am in system monitor proccess [04:33] tgr_: then click unlock, input password, click on your user, then properties, then user privs, then "Mount userspace File systems" [04:33] @PCteacher012 Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/launchpad-users [04:34] tgr_: all this because you don't want to just simply press the eject button to get it to remount to the same point every time :-P [04:34] @ PCTeacher012 You already try that? [04:34] gentubuntu, look for a packagemanager proccess and end it..

[04:37] tgr_: change the /etc/fstab to ntfs-3g [04:38] or ntfs-config?

[04:52] tgr_: i don't think thats your problem, but i'm out of ideas, you could write up what you've done in a forum post, or someone here can help you if you paste the error into a pastebin with your /etc/fstab [04:52] gentubuntu: well, it's telling you to open a web browser, go to that URL, download the documentation compressed file, copy it to /tmp, and try running the install again [04:52] clearscreen: well i would've gone back to intrepid anyway till the official release of jaunty. [04:52] this may sound dumb but when i install new stuff its not easy and fast to find or atleast i dunno yet does unbuntu have a programs folder equilibration like windows [04:52] (That's Intrepid Ibex.) [04:52] equivilent [04:52] if i compile a new stable version do i have to restart my computer to see if it works? [04:52] Burntresistor: Kind of. Most end up in /usr/bin [04:52] Burntresistor: synaptic / aptitude [04:52] i can't figure out why intrepid locks up like it does. in the past hour it's probably locked up 3 or 4 times. [04:52] gentubuntu: of course, you'll need to: sudo chown root.root /tmp/jdk-1_5_0-doc.zip before trying the install again [04:52] gnea: Can I just delete the stupid thing I am not that good at installing thing you dowload off the web unless i use apt=get [04:52] Burntresistor: But as clearscreen pointed out, a good package manager will show you what's installed [04:53] Burntresistor: there is whats called the $PATH which is where all binaries are checked [04:53] @Burntresistor Heh. I'm hunting around for my install of Gparted, so I can sympathize. [04:53] Burntresistor: A) check the Applications menu, B) binaries in /usr/bin most of the time, C) 'dpkg -L packagename' will show you all installed files fro ma particular package. [04:53] gentubuntu: you'll never learn how to do it right if you don't bother trying. [04:53] sudo chown I have no idea what that even mean [04:53] Burntresistor: they store in /usr and subfolders mostly, you can find them by find or locate ( do sudo updatedb before) [04:53] gentubuntu: man chown [04:53] are u sure its chown [04:53] or should i use something like mount -t ntfs-3g uuid /media/iomega [04:53] gentubuntu: yes. === gnea is now known as Gnea [04:54] Hey, can someone make me a sandwich?

[05:02] Spamicles: I appologize my reply was meant for SpenceKid [05:02] Stupendoussteve, hehe ok =] [05:02] omniter: in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin [05:02] ganadist: The .torrent is on the mirrors [05:02] Is there a way to entirely remove compiz? [05:02] It's a waste. [05:02] musikgoat|main, i can't create new folders in those directories though :S [05:03] Tesla: See if synaptic will let you :) [05:03] omniter: only binaries go in those directories, what are you trying to install? [05:03] Tesla: i just tell the system not to use it :) [05:03] Tesla: You can disable it through the appearance menu of course [05:03] musikgoat|main, blender 2.48 [05:04] * Tesla is running Ubunu on an EeePC. [05:04] * Tesla cries. [05:04] Why cry? I run it on an MSI Wind [05:04] omniter: so you don't want to install ubuntu's package? [05:04] Same thing, more or less [05:04] * Gnea looks oddly at Tesla [05:04] Because it can't handle Youtube without crying itself. [05:04] vmware on a windoz system [05:04] Blame the flash [05:05] How come WINE does not show anywindow folder exceot a couple which ahve no files in it [05:05] is it because im running amd64 [05:05] Tesla: are you running regular ubuntu or the eeepc version of ubuntu? [05:05] yeah, the flash support is rediculously bad, blame SUn [05:05] Regular. [05:05] Sun doesn't make flash... [05:05] gentubuntu, just edit the menus [05:05] you can get flash for linux www.adob.e.com [05:05] musikgoat, that's because the ubuntu's package is 2.46 [05:05] Because the EeePC version isn't actually well, legit. [05:05] i did [05:05] gentubuntu: flash for linux is in the repos [05:05] Stupendoussteve: oops [05:05] maybe the medibuntu one, didn't pay attention which one [05:06] whats the command to see what programs are running in the background is it still control alt del [05:06] one of those big faceless companies :-P [05:06] i don't think wine work on amd64 or either toshiba laptops [05:06] So, any packages I can safely kill without crippling functionality and improving performance? [05:06] they only thing it sees is crappy IE and it wont even load that [05:06] gentubuntu: What do you expect it to see? Did you install something within wine? [05:07] why wont wine work on amd64 it installed fine i havnt tried it yet but to start up an ap [05:07] Burntresistor: you should get that windows command out of your head, there is a process list in system -> admin -> system monitor though [05:07] lol do you know how many years of windows commands are in my head it might take awhile [05:08] Burntresistor: or i should say, the windows-butchered command... [05:08] I installed pocket ubuntu today... it worked pretty well. I need a faster machine at work though (or at least more memory) [05:08] Wine will not SEE my C directory except for my window folder but even that it show it up all empty [05:09] can i just download exe folder straight to ubuntu and use wine to install them instread [05:09] gentubuntu: That's how wine is meant to work... [05:09] hello all [05:09] isnt there a wine room [05:09] gentubuntu: wine does not use the c directory that you may already have, it creates a virtual c directory [05:09] where is compiz fusion, shouldnt it be under system -> preferences? [05:09] is anyone else having issues viewing youtube videos right from firefox? [05:10] Burntresistor: #winehq [05:10] @ Tesla Also Running Ubuntu on an EEE PC. [05:10] SpenceKid: By default there isn't one, you have to install ccsm if you want to use it [05:10] gentubuntu: interesting things you've got going on there... any results from this command? sudo fuser /var/lib/dpkg/lock [05:10] yeah, and when I got into the visual directoy there is nothing but windows folder, and nothing is in there] [05:10] gentubuntu:either rightclick the *.exe > opem with > wine or in trml : (sudo) wine *.exe [05:10] @ Tesla I wouldn't call it fast, but it's not like I can type quickly on the little keyboard anyway. [05:10] can you guide me to do that? [05:10] please [05:10] gentubuntu: Again, that is the wine c drive, not your windows install [05:10] SpenceKid: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [05:11] so, you only supposed to use it download thing to the virtual c drive it dont show yuour real c drive3 [05:11] Gnea: you want me to sudo fuser var/lib/dpkg/lock [05:11] gentubuntu: You can download installers to the ubuntu desktop and run from there, to install within wine [05:11] gentubuntu: no, it doesn't [05:11] Tesla: uhm, the Ubuntu-EEEpc isn't a non-legit thing, but you can get help for it in #ubuntu-eeepc [05:11] so i'm the only one who can't see a flash video from youtube's site? [05:11] Oh god. [05:11] so is gaming still possible on linux with a direct x work around [05:11] Nonono. [05:11] gentubuntu: yes. [05:12] Oh. [05:12] Wait. [05:12] Yes. [05:12] Tesla: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:12] Wait. [05:12] Burntresistor: Sometimes [05:12] @ deagle that a fresh install. [05:12] * Gnea looks oddly at Tesla again [05:12] OvernightPR: nope [05:12] !flood | Tesla [05:12] Tesla: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:12] Okay, I seem to remember Canonical saber-rattling at the people who made that distro for using the Ubuntu name. [05:12] Hmm. I could swear it used to say enter was not a punctuation key [05:12] @Tesla Yeah. It's now Easy Peasey. [05:12] Stupendoussteve: thanks, worked great! [05:12] Tesla: that is the eeebuntu people [05:13] SpenceKid: You're welcome and congrats :) [05:13] how can i minimally install gnome? [05:13] anybody please help me change the background color to workspace switcher [05:13] @Muskigoat Or I could be entirely wrong. :"> [05:13] Tesla: or at least they also got yelled at canonical [05:13] my internet is horridly slow and i get this error: Your forward and reverse DNS don't match when joining irc... what can i do to fix this? [05:13] Tesla: I do believe, that it's possible, that you misinterpretted something, somewhere...things like that do happen, and usually good things result from it, not bad things [05:13] its a 1400 ms ping to google [05:13] OvernightPR: no, i'm sure they are not the only ones, ubuntu is trademarked, and by law they have to fight infringement [05:13] @deagle have you surfed on Youtube successfully before? [05:14] hey i cant seem to change my resolution to 1024x728 its stuck at a really low resolution [05:14] ndshacker: Unless you own the IP address you can't really do anything to fix it, that's an ISP issue [05:14] * Tesla is really confused right now, not on any particular topic, just generally confused, ಠ_ಠ [05:14] how do i fix that [05:14] will it resume if ubuntu download interrupted inbetween?

[05:14] gentubuntu: it's /var/lib/dpkg/lock [05:14] ndshacker: Probably your ISP messed up their dns server, it's not really a big deal [05:14] it taked like a minute in between pages [05:15] OvernightPR: hell, even other sites like google video show up fine [05:15] gentubuntu: always need the first / [05:15] Gnea: Not recently...

[05:15] with the new 9.04, i cannot move my panels, or set my root password, why is this? [05:15] niriven: you need to ask in #ubuntu+1 about that [05:15] Gnea, ok thanks [05:15] i understand the philosophy of what linux is trying to do but does linux ever want to replace windows witha free open source solution or will it always get second rate treatment to windows market dominance [05:16] Gnea: Cannot stat var/lib/dpkg/lock: N [05:16] Hi, I had a question about configuring LAMP, if anyone has a second.

[05:16] Burntresistor: if you truly understand the philosophy, then you would know that your question is a non-question [05:16] Burntresistor: Let's give Richard Stallman an RPG and find out. [05:16] does anyone here have an idea on what are the packages that are included in ubuntu-desktop? [05:16] 5379 [05:17] syntax\: A ton of them... [05:17] OvernightPR: as a matter of fact, I can watch youtube videos from google videos (as embedded) but on youtube.com all I get is a black square that when I right click it says "movie not loaded..." and then "Adobe Flash Player 10" below it [05:17] gentubuntu: alright, you've got a terminal window open, somewhere, that is waiting for you to finish what it asked you to do.

It seems to have made my wifi problem worse, but when I open hardware drivers it isn't listed so I can't uninstall it. [05:19] @deagle What version of flash player you have? [05:19] I applied the tcp things though, so that shouldnt be the issue [05:19] Tesla: I'm sorry, I don't know how to solve your general confusion... have you considered professional counseling?

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [05:47] !pt jebatamandua [05:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about pt jebatamandua [05:48] hi [05:48] So I installed Xubuntu, and I'm having a sound problem... I'm not getting any. I do however have the little volume controll icon on the panel, so it seems like it would have gotten the sound driver installed. I don't hear any startup noises when I boot up either, so it doesn't seem like it'd be a program specific thing either... [05:48] where are you from? [05:48] and how do i install a compiz or beryl theme for gnome from gnome-look i haven't found a guide on it [05:48] !pt | jebatamandua [05:48] jebatamandua: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português.

Have you opened volume control proper? [05:48] Ubottu, its a portuguese, not spanish [05:48] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:48] No way im getting that much [05:48] !pt | jebatamandua [05:48] jebatamandua: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [05:49] open up preferences and -> Chatting -> Logging -> Open Data Folder [05:49] should allow you to view your logs [05:49] Aerodynamic, ok so that is a checkbox...where does it get saved then [05:49] ah [05:49] ok [05:49] 142.80kbps <---- so why is ubuntu refusing to use this much? [05:49] will check it out [05:49] RORgasm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:49] i from brasil, and my official languague its a portuguese [05:49] ndshacker: sure it was 1400 and not 1.4 from google ? [05:49] not a spanish [05:49] it was 1400 [05:49] Aerodynamic, sudo apt-get build-dep firefox [05:49] Eu vou é embora daqui. [05:49] if i have firefox running and start virtualbox i don't hear any sound anyone else have this issue? [05:49] and my firefox is lsow as :@ [05:49] !pt | jebatamandua [05:49] Same here ndshacker [05:50] Alright usser, will try it out [05:50] jebatamandua: just join #ubuntu-br [05:50] Aerodynamic, get the source from mozilla.org [05:50] Aerodynamic, sudo apt-get install checkinstall [05:50] my network meeter shows me using like 0% of my network, why wont it use 100%? [05:50] tanks [05:50] hi all [05:50] does anyone know anything like Sizeme in windows? It will allow you to drag folders/files to it and it will make an ISO for you for however many DVDs or CDs it will take to burn them to a CD/DVD. [05:50] Aerodynamic, untar the source, go through usual ./configure && make install only instead of make install use checkinstall [05:51] OvernightPR : Well, the master isn't muted, I also unmuted the pc speaker option. Still no sound. Maybe I should restart a program to try again though? [05:51] Hmm, okay. [05:51] I accidentally bought and ATI graphics card and installed the restricted drivers. 1 hour later I took it back to the shop and got an nvidia instead. I tried running dpkg-reconfigure of xserver-xorg, but it seems like it's trying to start X in a wacky screen mode. Any tips ? [05:51] Aerodynamic, ok so that will enable future cahts with that person to be logged...but the thing is when i open the private dialog box with that person....there is a history of everything we've talked about thus far...how do i log that stuff in the past? [05:51] Aerodynamic, that will compile firefox and create a package that will install just like any other package. name it something else when checkinstall prompts you, like firefox-manual-build. otherwise ubuntu will try to upgrade it [05:51] i am trying to install ubuntu 8.10 and am out of cds so i can either use netboot or install 7.04 and upgrade which do you think im better off trying? [05:51] [05:51] Brazil has some of the person there to help me? [05:51] Botux, usb-boot [05:52] Vladmir: My install had something called "Front" speakers with the volume all the way down, althought not muted, but the end result was no sound. You got somethiing like that? [05:52] i dont have a usb drive [05:52] jebatamandua: maybe. [05:52] is because my ubuntu is in Portuguese. [05:52] well thanks for help before got to go [05:52] Botux netboot is excruciatingly slow. [05:52] Botux, netinstall may be a bit harder to do, but it'll be a clean install. 7.04 -> 8.10 upgrade may be easier but theres a chance it blows up in your face [05:53] ndshacker your network is probably 54mpbs or 100mbps depending on wireless, or wired... highspeed internet is only like 1/10 of those now adays.. unless you're maxing out your connection you're not going to see huge %'s [05:53] !pt | jebatamandua [05:53] jebatamandua: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [05:53] Usser so it's six of one and a half dozen of the other :P [05:53] OvernightPR, eh? care to substantiate your claim, netboot is fast [05:53] ok, but why is my computer still slow as &536 [05:53] i have a 7.04 retailcd ubuntu sent me thats why i was thinking that route [05:53] OvernightPR : I unmuted everything for the sake of argument. Still no sound. To add to the strangeness, when I installed regular Ubuntu, I got sound just fine. [05:53] jebatamandua: You don't have to go there, of course, but if English is difficult it may be easier for you [05:53] OvernightPR, over local network, it goes faster than cd install :) [05:54] tanks ubottu [05:54] RORgasm, can you elaborate a bit. [05:54] i tried reading the netinstall stuff and got confused [05:54] I'm not quite understanding what you mean. [05:54] is there a mem-delete or memory delete tool for Ubuntu? [05:54] ndshacker: I'm now star poking around; from your replies I assume you're in us on 2wire, so the internet-speedmeter shall be suitable, I don't know the config of your local network or if the router itself offers shaping [05:54] is there a site that has it simplified? [05:54] Do you mean you want to log all future conversations as well? [05:54] TANKS UBOTTU [05:54] Usser My EEE PC took just over 6 hours to netboot install. [05:54] like netinstall for sdummies lol [05:54] Usser: But maybe I [05:54] m just lucky [05:54] DasEU: im usin 2wire with sasktel as my isp [05:55] OvernightPR, wow [05:55] I am on wired, and its a 1.5 mbps line [05:55] Aerodynamic, ok so in xchat when i clcik on this person that i've talked to before...there our conversations form the past are in the PM window....enabling loggin a conversation with that person will log future chats with that person...but now the history that is currently showing up in the PM window [05:55] ndshacker: has the router a (web-) surface you can access ? [05:55] yes [05:55] And you don't want the history there? [05:55] if anyone could point me in a direction to make netinstall easier that would be great [05:56] !netinst [05:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about netinst [05:56] :P [05:56] ahw [05:56] ubottu: you suck [05:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about you suck [05:56] clearscreen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:56] Daesi: i set up a dns cahce now [05:56] *dns [05:56] Usser: so I guess I should have said Netboot *can be* excruciatingly slow. If you're lucky like me. :D [05:56] ndshacker: is there an option to shape the separate ports (the different rj45's going to pc's ?) === cE_sExXi is now known as Cwe [05:56] how can 7.04 install and then uopgrade to 8.10 blow up in my face [05:57] OvernightPR, well by default i downloads packages from ubuntu servers, if you create your own repository like i did locally. it'll be faster [05:57] #club-ubuntu [05:57] Dasei: port forwarding? [05:57] vladmir: Well, in addition to not being terribly Linux-savvy, I am also up WAAYY past my bed time, so I'm sorry to say but that I am out of ideas for you. === vladimir_ is now known as vladimirtzu [05:57] Botux, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/QuickNetboot seen that already? [05:57] sry bout that [05:57] ndshacker: nope, traffic shaping [05:58] Usser: That would likely have been a better idea, yeah. :) [05:58] Dasei: QOS? [05:58] could anyone tell me how to add a trusted SSL certificate? I'm using dreamhost for email and their ssl cert doesn't seem to work (I added it to /etc/ssl/certs but I still get an error that the certificate is not trusted) === deadkorn is now known as Orga [05:58] OvernightPR Haha, well thanks my man. Guess I'll make a forum post about it and do a little more experimenting. Since I already know it /should/ work since it has before, I'm sure its something silly and obvious [05:58] ndshacker: not sure, what does that offer ? [05:58] Miyako Isn't that better addressed to #ubuntu-server ? [05:58] to slow down or speed up indivutal conenctions: but i dont have it :p === Cwe is now known as cwe [05:59] delay [05:59] I can close his torrent port :p [05:59] Hi all. I'd like to sweep through a directory tree and move all the avi files to the root of the tree. How do I do this? [05:59] OvernightPR: I wasn't aware that there was an ubuntu-server [05:59] yes my thing is the pc im on right now is vista ultimate and tthe pc i want to install ubuntu on will be the second and only other pc on the network for now [06:00] All right. I'm out of here, kids. I've done all the damage I can to this popsicle stand. [06:00] OvernightPR: whats the flag for launching firefox's user admin thing again? [06:00] how many linux distros can i install and boot seperatly to before there is to many partitions [06:00] ????? [06:00] dsnyders, find . -name *.avi -exec mv {} /path/to/where/to/move/them \; [06:00] waaaiiittt nooooo [06:00] ndshacker: so another (poke,poke) guess out; is yor nic smaller then the one of the other pc's (100/1000) ? [06:00] ndshacker, again, on the internet the MAX you'd ever see is 1.5% usage unless youare transfering to another pc in yoru house. [06:00] you found me [06:00] @deagle about:config I think. [06:00] does this work for anyone? http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20071007-0medibuntu2.1_i386.deb [06:00] bosco: Unlimited. Don't put them on primacy partitions [06:00] bosko [06:00] OvernightPR: no, like, from CLI [06:00] OvernightPR: --user-sessions? [06:00] Dasei: im # 4 [06:00] Stupendoussteve, do you have a website on how to do that === eus is now known as eusu_kefuin [06:00] as in my dads tw get top share [06:01] usser, Thanks. I thought it might be a find command, but I only know the -print option. [06:01] then our home server (which I manage) [06:01] OvernightPR: --list-manager? [06:01] dsnyders, err if your files have spaces in them that might not work [06:01] then me [06:01] Aerodynamic, i want to log past conversations... [06:01] ndshacker: ifconfig in trml, dhcp assigned ? speed of connection ? [06:01] how to run a web site on linux [06:01] dsnyders, find . -name *.avi -exec mv "{}" /path \; in this case [06:01] O.o [06:01] bosco: Just choose logical instead of primacy, most any partitioning program has the option [06:01] you can't log past conversations [06:01] logging starts from when you activate it [06:01] Aerodynamic, i thought that i would be able to log the past conversations because they are appearing in the PM window when i click on the person [06:01] usser having only a vist machine on my network trying to install ubuntu on another machine is confusing [06:01] dsnyders, back up your dir first you never know with find command [06:01] Stupendoussteve, now i can have windows with those as well right and that wont change anything [06:01] http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20071007-0medibuntu2.1_i386.deb [06:02] deagle: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments [06:02] usser, I shall. Thanks. [06:02] Aerodynamic, right but where does xchat store this previous conversation history then? [06:02] that download stops on me before I hardly get anything [06:02] When you initiate logging, everything the user says from that point on is logged [06:02] bosco: Of course, it makes an extended partition (which is primary) and unlimited logical partitions inside of it [06:02] @deagle pick one you like. :D [06:02] OvernightPR: lol thx! [06:02] Botux, oooh... you need to figure out how to setup tftp server in vista, which i've never done [06:02] and then the log is stored in a log folder [06:02] dareis: dhcp is assigned [06:02] bosco: At least, I believe unlimited. Still more than you should be running into with multibooting [06:02] and it seems to be the nameserver [06:02] raawr [06:02] Botux, you're better off going the upgrade way [06:02] !tab | ndshacker [06:02] ndshacker: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [06:02] Aerodynamic, ok understood....but where is the chat history with this person located...its gotta be somewhere coz it appears when i open the persons PM window [06:02] when you talk to that person again, the logs are reloaded [06:02] since i set up a local nameserver, and i digged google [06:03] * OvernightPR poofs away! [06:03] usser now that you know that i have vusta machine do you think it would be easier to install 7.04 and then upgrade? [06:03] and got a 0 ms response lol :p [06:03] Botux, yep :) [06:03] Stupendoussteve, and with that i can still boot what ever one i want at that time right have a boot screen come up???? [06:03] Try out Preferences -> Chatting -> Logging -> "Open data folder" [06:03] ok some of the lts versions wont let you upgrade though will they? [06:03] but its still 1300 ms ping >.< [06:04] ndshacker: ping is separate from dns [06:04] stupendesssteve: is it possible my isp throttles icmp? [06:04] ndshacker: If you use traceroute you can attempt to see where delay might be coming from [06:04] ok [06:04] whats trace route [06:05] ndshacker: I have no further ideas on that, as the d/l connection seems properly, and I don't think a multiport router causes this behaviour [06:05] is it sudo command [06:05] the other question i have is for the new ubuntu machine i have a belkin wireless entet adapter do you think itlll be hard to find a driver for it? [06:05] dr-rice: It is a program that shows most of the routers as well as pings to them in the hops between you and the destination [06:05] Dasei: will call ISP in morning [06:05] botux madwifi driver [06:05] meant to say wireless enet adapter sorry [06:05] dr-rice: I believe a normal user can run it [06:05] would it be possible to dd particular partitions & still get them to boot or do i need to dd the entire disk? [06:05] dr-rice, it's like a series of pings that are each one hop longer than the next. [06:05] and will also speak to dad about torrents or vpn over and throttle them myself >.< [06:06] botux ubungtu has it in the extras packages [06:06] gogeta madwifi driver a website? [06:06] can i install db2 on intrepid? [06:06] madwifi is the driver for beklins [06:06] oh ok lol [06:06] pteague, its possible, you might need to reinstall boot manager(grub in linux) or windows one, whatever its name is [06:06] ok its defintily my isp [06:06] http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20071007-0medibuntu2.1_i386.deb can someone please download that and send it ot me [06:06] goes from 3 ms to 1300 at my isp [06:06] can you turn up the power with that driver [06:06] skips my router without a hitch [06:06] ariqs qhy [06:07] why [06:07] the belkin [06:07] ndshacker: if not, try that QOS 8-) [06:07] because the download stops on me at like, 40k [06:07] use /nick hemanth.hm [06:07] usser: heh, going to dd my windows & 32bit ubuntu to a larger drive, then install 64bit on a different partition [06:07] yep :) [06:08] ariqs you can apt that [06:08] its in the reps [06:08] it stops on me there too [06:08] pteague, i once dd'ed my windows and linux to a bigger driver [06:08] it works good [06:08] dr-rice: shows the route from remote source to your host [06:08] just need to reinstall grub [06:08] lanoxx: dd just the partitions or the entire drive? [06:08] ariqs use the package manger and change yor repo mirror [06:09] atoped on me to wtf [06:09] gogeta: easier if someone just sends it to me [06:10] pteague, i dd'ed the partitions one by one, for the ntfs one i mad sure that was an entry of exact same type and size etc in the partition table (do with fdisk), do ext3 you can simply create any size (same or bigger) but if its bigger you have to use fs2resize ofter you dd'ed it [06:10] how can i extract 503 tar files to the current directory? [06:10] I'm sick to death of the package manager nonsense [06:10] fbgvjfdhg [06:10] it's ridiculous [06:10] ariqs: Sure it's not your isp? [06:10] lanoxx: k, ty [06:10] If you can't download it manually it's not the manager's fault [06:10] Stupendoussteve, I seem to be staying here alright [06:10] its doin it to me to [06:11] pteague, welcome :) [06:11] ariqs: Different protocol, large difference in the amount of data being transfered [06:11] ok, thanks for trying, gogeta. [06:11] what's wrong with package managers? D: [06:11] pteague, its resize2fs not fs2resize, just made a mistake up there [06:12] np, used it before... just been a while [06:12] pteague, and make you u use a bs=2M or something like that otherwise it will take ages [06:12] Stupendoussteve, it doesn't work for gogeta either. Chances are, we don't share the same isp :) [06:12] gotta go, bye [06:12] MSG hemanth hi [06:13] a central deb website with mirrors would be too easy, naturally [06:13] ariqs: medibuntu is unofficial...

[06:44] i've command line like this [06:44] echo 'h$ll^' | sed -e 's/\$/e/g' -e 's/\^/o/g' [06:44] apt-get upgrade sshd [06:44] can i combination of option on sed ? [06:44] hateball: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-ssh@lists.debian.org/msg04611.html [06:44] rww╶ fully updated hardy. I've got two identical machines, and only one of them exhibits this behaviour [06:44] looks samba related [06:45] deanet, just pipe it into another sed [06:45] deanet, ie echo 'h$ll^' | sed -e 's/\$/e/g' | sed -e 's/\^/o/g' [06:45] usser, i means there is double -e , [06:45] i want one option -e [06:45] ?? [06:45] deanet, oh [06:46] how ? [06:46] Hi, how do I compare the "name" of two files in shell script? === nathan is now known as Guest60209 [06:48] ok i would like to be able to use lynx/elinks to go to a site, save its html, refresh, save it again, but under another name, how do i do that? [06:48] popey╶ I'm not using pam_smbpass tho. I am however using pam_ldap, but it's not hinting about that in the log [06:48] Tokenekie, i think use diff ... [06:49] i can get it to open the page and then i just run it again and it will refresh but how do i get it to save it to a different file name each time, like page1, page2, page3, etc [06:49] deanet: No, diff compares what is contained in the files. I tried using [ foo > bar ] which is true, but if I do [ bar > foo ] I also get true [06:49] deanet: By the way i created a file called foo then copied it to the same directory under the name bar, so they are essentially the same [06:49] How can i get LiVES ?? i realy want it [06:50] rww: it keeps segfaulting every 5 seconds, yet everything seemingly works... [06:50] hey folks; how do i format /dev/sda1 from the command line to ext3? [06:50] xsg: http://lives.sf.net/ [06:51] is there a dedicated room for ubuntu netbook? [06:51] ohhi! [06:51] xsg: it's far from finished, I'd recommend you look at blender for video editing, it's very powerful [06:51] I want to use Secure-delet's sswap command to wipe my SWAP space, although i have to disable swap first. [06:52] can this be done by just unmounting the swpa partition? [06:52] arooni: mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 [06:52] blender is for 3d ?? [06:52] deanet: Oh I figured it out, you need to use double square brackets for some reason I dont know [06:52] xsg: blender also has a video editor built in [06:52] arooni: mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 [06:52] o ok ill get blender and try it out any others [06:52] deanet: [[ foo > bar ]] #0, [[ bar > foo ]] #1 [06:52] xsg: thats the best one [06:53] ok thanks a bunch i still cant find any good c++ editors like visual c+ or dev c++ [06:53] ok thanls Tokenikie [06:54] xsg: I'm almost positive dev c++ is for linux too. I'm going to check now. [06:54] tonyyarusso, same issue; should i try formatting /dev/sda1 ? [06:54] anyone else use a nvidia chipset and have your NIC get a random MAC every reboot? [06:55] sparr: lol, that's funny [06:55] if dev c++ is for linux point me to an installer [06:55] Hello, I can hear a clicking sound in hardy, the left channel, when I play a sound like lmms or any program, I get a click on sound start and sound stop, I'm using alsa only, pulse audio is not installed, what could be the problem? [06:55] xsg: if you're a programmer, why can't you compile it yourself anyway? === Zaraphrax is now known as Zaraphrax|Laptop [06:56] hello everyone. need printer setup help [06:56] cause i'm a new programmer only been 1-2 months === tk|away is now known as tk [06:57] is there ubuntu flight semulator [06:57] xsg: try codeblocks. It's in the synaptic package manager and a lot like dev c++. I like it better [06:57] hello good morning [06:57] i need a program to learn to fly [06:57] dr-rice: flightgear [06:57] is there a program which allows me to watch my shares and accesses to them graphically? [06:57] throw your laptop running ubuntu out the window. that'll simulate flight [06:57] ok thanks === usser is now known as usser-away [06:57] ariqs: lol [06:57] they had 2001-etc for microsoft [06:58] ubuntu 2009 fight semulater is what i,m lookin for [06:58] Kartagis: if you are running gnome, there's an applet you can add called stockwatch [06:58] any suggestions on how to mass install ubuntu? constraints: migrating from windows xp to ubuntu 8.10. the used to be windows machines have 2 partitions c drive and d drive. the d drive needs to as ease because backups are stored there. any suggestions to have this done in 2 to 3 days? [06:58] whats wine all about [06:59] <`brandon`> how do i run a perl irc bot? [06:59] syntax: the d partition needs to what? stay where it is? be backed up? Are you getting rid of XP 100%? [06:59] <`brandon`> dr-rice: wine is so you can use windows on Ubuntu or anyother Linux OS [06:59] dr-rice: it is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on linux. it works very well but still lacks some support for more advanced things [06:59] b: perl filename.pl [06:59] Kartagis: right click panel > add to panel [06:59] Can lm-sensors harm a system? [07:00] thecommutist, thanks [07:00] syntax: also, how many machines are we talking? [07:00] evilGUI: unlikely [07:00] I did sensors-detect [07:00] alright good =) [07:00] Kartagis: actually, it's called Invest not stockwatch, sorry! [07:01] eqisow: exactly. [07:01] thecommutist, lol I meant samba shares [07:01] <`brandon`> brandon@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ perl hello_nick.pl Can't locate Net/IRC.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at hello_nick.pl line 3.

[07:01] `brandon`: sudo cpan Net::IRC [07:01] Yo what up did anyone message me? [07:02] eqisow: the other ntfs partition should stay as ease. because there are back ups that are stored there. i need to figure out a solution to be able to surpass the issue. I have no idea if cloning would work because of the ntfs partition that needs to be saved. [07:02] popey: I guess speedfan does the same thing on the Windows side? [07:02] What does GRUB Error 22 mean? === Zaraphrax is now known as Zaraphrax[DESKTO [07:02] evilGUI: never used it, sorry [07:02] ah. [07:02] GENA" ARE YOU THERE [07:02] Gnea: === Zaraphrax[DESKTO is now known as Zaraphrax|Deskto [07:02] Kartagis: i think you can use nautilus for accessing your samba shares === Zaraphrax|Deskto is now known as Zaraphrax [07:03] communist [07:03] commy [07:03] I try to reinstall Linpus on my netbook, but Ubuntu have somehow messed up my computer. I have removed Ubuntu and all partitions, but when I try to boot Linpus I get GRUB Error 22. WHy? [07:03] I just installed 'emacs-snapshot'. i can't see it in the 'applications' menu anywhere. should it be? [07:03] Hey Ubuntu channel, what is the best way to share files between Ubuntu 8.10 and Mac 10.4? [07:03] Swede: your configuration for grub has a module line before a kernel line [07:03] Homrhomer DROBOX [07:04] thecommutist, I don't want to watch them. i want to watch them graphically [07:04] you can find it at getdropbox.com [07:04] eqisow: the d partition needs to what? stay where it is? be backed up? Are you getting rid of XP 100%? the d partition needs to be saved not over written or deleted; its already a backup; yes im getting rid of xp 100% [07:04] lstarnes: Uhm? What does that mean? [07:04] well that cool, but the free one only support up to 2 gigs [07:04] homerhomer: http://tr.im/getdrop - it gets you an extra 250MB of storage (and me too :) ) [07:04] gentubuntu needs to see an opthalmologist! [07:04] syntax: OK, I follow, I think. If you have enough storage, the easiest thing may be to backup all the D partitions (which, really, should be backed up already), image the computers, then put the data back [07:04] Yes but it is awesome [07:04] syntax\: because a second partition on the same disk isn't a real backup [07:04] Swede: it means you need to take a look at /boot/grub/menu.lst [07:05] syntax\: there's also no need to leave anything as ntfs is a 100% linux environment [07:05] lstarnes: Ok, using a Live CD then, because I haven't got any operating system installed yet. [07:05] core0 and core1 should be CPU correct? [07:05] dooglus: i am already signed up can I get an extrea 250 [07:05] Hi all. I've got an onboard mic issue with this Aspire One (8.10 inside). It just screeches and I've gone through all the choices. Is there a tool (CLI or otherwise) I can use to see what the interfierance issue is? [07:05] Hi I need help with GRUB, I set the timeout to 0 accidentally, and now I cannot boot back to Linux because the default OS is Windows [07:05] does anyone know if Gnea is a guy or girl [07:06] dawson: live cd [07:06] is there a linux tool to rescale a pic? [07:06] dooglus: sorry I already have a drop box account [07:06] lstarnes: I thought /boot/grub/menu.lst was a part of Ubuntu. [07:06] I'm actually in there right now [07:06] gentubuntu: inappropriate [07:06] !offtopic | getubuntu [07:06] getubuntu: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:06] dawson: if you still have your live cd you can boot off it, mount the /boot partition and re-edit /boot/grub/menu.list .. [07:06] but I cannot mount my / partition [07:06] Swede: it's the config for grub [07:06] NineTeen67Comet: alsamixer [07:06] it is a reiserfs partition [07:06] dawson: then mount it and edit he file [07:06] I installed this program I dont know it is but it mounts my drive and I can accesss anything from my windows drive it is awesome [07:06] geez [07:06] is there a linux tool to rescale a pics? I have about 500 5meg pics to rescale [07:06] who are you? [07:06] sudo [07:07] lyy: imagemagick has a tool called "convert" [07:07] thecommutist: thanks .. I'll peek at it, but I think it is more than just settings (think I checked alsamixer a few weeks ago, I'll check it again real quick) [07:07] lyy: use imagemagick's 'convert' utility [07:07] lstarnes: Yes, I understand that. I think the best would be to reinstall GRUB, I haven't got any partitions on my computer, I haven't got the Ubuntu installation on the hard drive. Maybe it's better to reinstall grub? [07:07] dawson: there are some live cds tyhat work with reiserfs i believe [07:07] dooglus: thanks! [07:07] popey: thanks! [07:07] ahh so the ubuntu live cd wont? [07:07] mount -t reiserfs /dev/sda2/ /media/FU [07:07] ? [07:07] i think it can [07:07] Does anyone know what i downloaded that let me mount my C:] drive so I can access all my files, what ever it is it is awsome [07:07] what error do you get? [07:08] i can listen to all my mp3's and read all my ebooks through calibre [07:08] gentubuntu: its called a terminal [07:08] no [07:08] :p [07:08] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error [07:08] ndshacker: lol! [07:08] there is something else [07:08] !ntfs > gentubuntu [07:08] gentubuntu, please see my private message [07:08] Swede: you could either reinstall grub or reconfigure it. If you're going to be installing a new os over everything else, you might as well reinstall grub [07:08] Usuallly ubuntu wont let you access ntfs [07:08] gentubuntu: yes it does [07:08] no [07:08] how safe it is to write to an the /host/... directory when running a wubi-installed ubuntu? [07:08] gentubuntu: Ubuntu let's you access NTFS [07:09] gentubuntu: I'm not going to argue with you, but you're wrong :) [07:09] then how come i had to get a program [07:09] not out of the box [07:09] you didnt [07:09] ntfs-3g is out of the box [07:09] gentubuntu: yes, out of the box [07:09] !ntfs [07:09] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [07:09] mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/window-drive;echo "yay it work" [07:09] lstarnes: Yes, but the problem is that when I installed GRUB it did something with my computer and when I try to boot fron Linpus recovery usb then the computer answers GRUB Error 22. [07:09] gentubuntu: what version of ubuntu are you using? [07:09] Swede: it may be an error on the usb stick [07:09] it lets you mounts your drive and access everything [07:09] lstarnes: When I installed Ubuntu, I meant. [07:10] i was using 8.10 now im using suck 9.10 [07:10] lstarnes: No, no, I have used it several times before on other computers without problems. [07:10] ... [07:10] gentubuntu: 9.10 hasn't been started, perhaps you mean jaunty 9.04? [07:10] 9.10? [07:10] Swede: make sure your BIOS checks USB and CD before hard disks [07:10] gentubuntu: 8.10 supports it out of the box [07:10] i thin you mean 9.04 [07:10] oh yes [07:10] oh wait [07:10] ndshacker: [07:10] lstarnes: Ubuntu did something that makes it impossible for me to reinstall Linpus on my netbook. [07:10] nevermind [07:10] damn it im so stupid [07:11] dawson: [07:11] dawson: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:11] i was mounting sd2, it was sda3 [07:11] LOL [07:11] thanks anyways, have a nice evening [07:11] welll you do itg through the terminal i got a program that mounted my cd drive write on the desktop [07:11] lstarnes: Even if I choose usb on boot, then suddenly I get an GRUB Error 22. [07:11] geez man [07:11] its called [07:11] lol [07:11] mount [07:11] >.< [07:12] mount,,kik' [07:12] lol [07:12] anyone here use dns cache by any chance? [07:12] gentubuntu: did you fix it? [07:12] since it seems to help me a lot :) [07:12] gnea: no [07:12] gentubuntu: did you follow the directions i gave you? [07:12] I've recently started getting errors in my shell scripts when using '||' in combination with #/bin/sh (bash works fine) [07:12] gnea: it wont let me download it i think my computer is broke [07:13] anyone know why? and/or a more portable way to do so? [07:13] gentubuntu: eh? works fine here.. [07:13] Time to throw it and smash it with a baseball bat [07:13] just type 'no' and press enter then [07:13] Gnea: are you a guy or girl [07:13] should be fine [07:13] gentubuntu: that's offtopic [07:13] || or, && and, ! not [07:13] How do I repair/reinstall GRUB using gParted? [07:14] Hi [07:14] clear [07:14] Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem with my graphics. The screen appears fragmented randomly all over the screen [07:14] !gparted [07:14] is installing from a flash drive as simple as putting an .iso on it? [07:14] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [07:14] !usb | n2diy [07:14] n2diy: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [07:14] Gnea: sorry for asking question my bad for being intrested and wanted to have a conversation [07:14] Swede: I don't think you can.. type !grub for grub help [07:14] dfcnvt, what do you mean exactly? [07:14] n2diy: check out unetbootin [07:14] where's the logoff file located? [07:14] Gnea: can I just get rid of the sucky program I dont need JSE anyways [07:14] gentubuntu: not here, this is a support channel not a chat channel [07:14] n2diy: you have to actually copy/burn the contents of the .iso to the drive, not just put the .iso on it as a file [07:14] gentubuntu: yeah, that sort of talk is reserved for #ubuntu-offtopic. but, i am a guy. [07:15] ok, thanks all. [07:15] n2diy: unetbootin is good for making bootable usb sticks [07:15] or can init + # can log off? [07:15] gentubuntu: you should be able to just type 'no' and press enter, as I've suggested at least several times in the past couple of hours [07:15] Gnea: ok i'm sorry your name sounds kind of like a girl as in Gina, I was going to says you know a lot for a girl but never mind [07:15] Slart: Ok, I think I have to use the Terminal in Ubuntu LiveCD [07:15] gentubuntu: dude, enough [07:15] Swede: correct [07:15] Gnea: I will try I don't know how to get back to it [07:16] mcp alert! [07:16] my script has, e.g., "OS=`uname -o` || OS=`uname -s`" to determine the OS it's on [07:16] the script is used on Ubuntu/*BSD/Solaris [07:16] gentubuntu: well, I have to go now, so perhaps someone else can help you. BTW, you shouldn't be such a sexist, it'll get you hurt or worse. bye. [07:17] but the '||' confuses Ubuntu (but only recently?) [07:17] Gnea: one minute [07:17] austin987: sh uses dash now, not bash, perhaps thats why? [07:17] if the first command fail then it run afterward [07:17] austin987: are you sure it's the || that is causing trouble? I thought that was pretty basic [07:17] I was wondering if anyone could help me with a graphics problem I am having [07:17] it's been dash for a while I thought.. [07:17] echo "work fine?" || echo "fail" [07:17] yeah [07:17] Gnea: no I was just going to complete meant if you were a girl that not being sexist more girls need to get into technology in my opinion there is not enough [07:17] Slart, "daily.sh: 1: Syntax error: "||" unexpected" [07:18] austin987: can you pastebin the 10 or so lines around that line? [07:18] echowhoops "work fine?" || echo "fail" [07:18] it will take turn to second command when fail [07:18] nxnn14: what's the problem you are facing? [07:19] Slart, http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn-history/r424/trunk/build_script/daily.sh [07:19] err: http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/build_script/daily.sh [07:19] Gnea: I cant do nothing im still getting this message Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [07:20] communist: so recently when I started my computer the graphics are fragmented, like blacks dots randomly on the screen hard to describe, I tried to remove the graphics card and use the on board graphics and the problem is better but still exists [07:20] austin987: I just tried a small test here using dash and || works fine as far as I can tell [07:20] u行動規範の日本語訳は [07:20] Slart, hmm. thanks. Not sure what the problem is then... [07:20] dash as in dash phone? [07:21] nxnn14: are you using the proprietary drivers for your graphics card? what's the make of your card? [07:21] austin987: you wrote this script yourself? [07:21] I want to hook my phone up to ubuntu any one know a program tat will support windows mobile [07:21] Slart, yes === dr-rice is now known as Fire [07:21] u行動規訳は [07:22] how do you change you name [07:22] austin987: one thing to check would be if the assignment really returns some kind of error code [07:22] why do i get this message [07:22] the communist: its an nvidia, ya I had the drivers installed, but just did a fresh install and haven't gotten the internet up again yet so don't have the drivers installed again, but the problem was still there even with the drivers. I had it all working well for a while and out of nowhere it just stopped working. [07:23] I love the ubuntu [07:23] Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [07:23] Slart, good idea, sec [07:23] Why do i get this message? [07:23] nxnn14: are you using 8.10? [07:23] gentubuntu: you have a package manager running, synaptic, apt, update-manager etc [07:23] And why does ubuntu start with a kubuntu logo? [07:23] the communist: yes [07:24] austin987: I just ran a small script with the offending line and the one after that.. works nicely here.. no errors [07:24] go to synaptic [07:24] gentubuntu: you probably install kubuntu-desktop after installing ubuntu [07:24] austin987: it works no matter if I run it as "bash test.sh" "dash test.sh" or "sh test.sh" [07:24] I installed some kde programs but did not install kubuntu [07:24] hmm [07:25] popey: this is what i get when open synaptic Unable to lock something something: This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first.

[09:32] ActionParsnip: young001 is there really a symlink to "/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/sites-available/default" ? [09:32] ActionParsnip: young001 since that does not make any sense [09:32] when i use super user do on file browser that drive is not listed.

[09:35] Or path [09:35] jamieleshaw: and what mount point do you wish to use, and what file system does it use? [09:36] maybe my symlink has broken [09:36] young001: If you want to check: do "ls -al /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default" <-- that should be pointing (linked) to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default" [09:36] i just ready to fix it [09:36] the filesystem is ext3 [09:37] young001@young001-laptop:~$ ls -al /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default [09:37] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 2009-04-03 09:23 /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default -> ../sites-available/default [09:37] it show like that [09:37] jamieleshaw: great, where do you want it mounting [09:37] young001: fine, no problem there [09:37] young001: so, what *is* your actual issue? What is wrong? [09:37] Just so it mounts by itself on start-up. [09:38] jamieleshaw: ok then you will need an entry in /etc/fstab [09:38] Okay.

My partition table got busted, and I'm wondering what my chances are. I'm running it now, and it's found my swap space (at the start of the disk) but nothing else yet. That indicate anything? It should have scanned the beginning of the next partition at least by now.

[10:58] every 6months [10:58] Hey all, Does anybody here use vmplayer? I'm finding that it uses loads of my swap file even though there is over a gigabyte of ram left empty (and I have vmswappiness set to 0) [10:58] ActionParsnip, I might sound very green to all of you but I am sort of new to bash shell commands [10:58] a new version release [10:58] ariqs: its the release mpa of ubuntu [10:59] i'm still at 8.04, and the only reason I'd upgrade is because I have to because there is no longer support for it [10:59] How can I install a tar.gz compressed application? [10:59] Hi, i'm using ubuntu 8.10 and i'm having some trouble. Yesterday the visual effects worked fine on my laptop. Today (now using an external screen aswell) they refuse to work. If i try to run compiz in the terminal the entire Xserver crashes [10:59] StepNjump: many dont use it, it offers huge power [10:59] ariqs: read here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [10:59] why? jus to secure your systeme against hackers virus etc and [10:59] cya [10:59] StepNjump: tar zxvf [10:59] Problem number two is that my Atheros (ar242x) refuses to connect to WPA/WPA2 wireless networks [10:59] seems quite uppity! [10:59] ActionParsnip: even then, there's no usable -rt support in 8.10 [10:59] oh that's it [11:00] ok [11:00] ariqs: 8.04 is supported for a good while yet [11:00] ActionParsnip, I have to compile my stuff quite often ): [11:00] Are those usually source files or are they usually already compiled? [11:00] just to protect your systeme and make [11:00] inovation [11:00] for your new os [11:00] Duzchip: have you installed and configured WPA supplicant? [11:01] ActionParsnip: i probably have not [11:01] I guess what I am trying to ask is: how do I install afterwards? Does that tar.gz command install the app automatically after decompressing also? [11:01] ActionParsnip: no wait, its installed [11:01] psychomantis, i am NOT getting "guided resize and use freed space" option [11:01] Duzchip: is it configured? === lipsin__ is now known as lipsin [11:02] ActionParsnip: Probably not [11:02] right, anyway, seems no-one knows much about network manager [11:02] !wpa [11:02] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [11:02] ActionParsnip: is that aimed at me? [11:03] was for Duzchip [11:03] ok [11:03] is there something similar for the wired network? [11:03] I noticed evolution has an annoying feature where it won't show you any of your mail until it downloads it all. Don't suppose there is a bypass for this? [11:03] gordonjcp: whats your issue? [11:03] ActionParsnip: using network manager, I can't set up a wired network manually without a gateway IP addy [11:03] unless it's got *something* in the gateway box, OK is deactivated [11:04] anyone know where the restricted-manager is? [11:04] gordonjcp: make it 127.0.0.1 [11:04] LollipopLand: are you talking about jockey-gtk ? [11:04] So any ideas anyone? vmplayer using swap instead of ram? [11:04] im trying to load drivers for an ATI Radeon X1550 which ati doesnt have any linux drivers for [11:04] gordonjcp: yuo SHOULD make it your routers internal IP [11:04] ActionParsnip: no, I shouldn't [11:04] kimi waht you wanna do ? [11:04] ActionParsnip: I don't want a gateway configured for the wired interface [11:04] exactly [11:05] gordonjcp, with ANY wired network, you can't set it up without a gateway.... [11:05] g4lt-lappy: yes you can [11:05] gordonjcp: ahh so the wired connection has a gateway, but the wireless is to not have 1? [11:05] psychomantis, I am NOT getting the resize option itself... asked in forums and also here many times.... no help [11:05] ActionParsnip: yes, sorry, I mentioned that earlier I thought [11:05] psychomantis, atleast , hope you can help me [11:05] gordonjcp, really, and how are the packets supposed to route to 0.0.0.0 without one? [11:05] maybe I didn't [11:05] so im just trying to load the regular ati drivers so i can at least get the correct resolution for my monitor even if i cant get the visual effects to be extra [11:05] g4lt-lappy: they're not [11:06] gordonjcp: if you are using static IP you can set it in /etc/network/interfaces and uninstall that stupid network manager rubbish [11:06] ActionParsnip: sounds like a better idea [11:06] the network manager thing is handy for wifi [11:06] of course, if you aren't using it to route, why are you using networkmangler anyways, use ifconfig [11:06] gordonjcp: true, if the system is static IP use that, it'll make it boot faster too as the devices will come up faster === alexander_ is now known as Lauta_Army [11:07] networkmangler's primary purpose in life is to ensure you ALWAYS have a default route that works [11:07] not to ensure that non-routed interfaces are up [11:08] g4lt-lappy: sure you can. [11:08] g4lt-lappy: because network mangler spots the interface come up and then tries to grab a DHCP lease [11:09] g4lt-lappy: network mangler works perfectly for wifi, and I want to keep it for that because it makes life much easier there. I just want it to stay off my wired interface [11:09] ActionParsnip: Still cant get it to work [11:10] yes [11:10] g4lt-lappy: it's one of the deeply frustrating things I find about Ubuntu - if you want to use something as supplied like nm for one part but not another, it becomes needlessly complex [11:10] jockey-gtk [11:10] !pm > iwdw [11:10] iwdw, please see my private message [11:10] anyone help with that? === alexander_ is now known as Lauta_Army === Yoda is now known as Ghost [11:11] ActionParsnip are you still here? === Ghost is now known as Guest2568 [11:12] gordonjcp, not really, just uncheck the wired interface in question from the preferences, it never looks for it agein. then use good old linux commands to do the lifitng you want [11:12] hello [11:12] ActionParsnip, what are you talking about, I darn near quoted the manpage.

[12:51] yep [12:51] the only features i need from an mp3 player are that it plays music and the interface isn't too horrifying ;P [12:51] ok. what about folder and port? [12:51] hey you know the numbers that your hdd has like hd1,4? how do i find what my hdd is? [12:51] (that and it supports mass storage properly) [12:51] russ5811: leave them blank, and I normally tick the bookmark box [12:51] mib_3y3dl51w: hda1, hdb, hdc you get the naming idea ?

[12:52] wtf does ubuntu store disaplay settings? I want to reset monitor orientation, but I can't see anything on the display, so I need to do it in the config files from a terminal [12:52] orochi, depends if you mean the mp3 interface its fine, one possible downside is it has an sdcard slot (so I have 8+4Gig), but it sort of combines them into one, which some find messy [12:52] russ5811: yea, the username on the machine you're try to connect to [12:52] russ5811: yes, the login user ID is called "username" [12:52] fddf [12:52] RoyK, what gfx card do you have [12:52] thatnks darren! i'll give it a shot. [12:53] mib_3y3dl51w: probably sda, but ubuntu dosnt not guarantee tahat ide0 master is sda or hda and so on , you can only trust UUIDs to be same in every boot, check /dev/disk/by-????/ [12:53] GibbaTheHut: Hmm, that's a weird way of doing it...on the other hand having an expansion slot is great IMO, that's why I liked the PSP :> [12:53] mib_3y3dl51w: ati [12:53] RoyK: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:53] wow, that's the firsts time I've help someone on ubuntu :) [12:53] erUSUL: I couldn't find anything there [12:53] orochi, its nice to use though, I use it plugged into soundcard on pc, and use it to play music on pc (which goes into stereo) [12:53] RoyK sorry, never used ati, nvidia has its own linux drivers XD [12:53] RoyK: then maybe it is on gconf... try gconf-editor [12:54] headphones nice too, all good, but read the forums first maybe just to see [12:54] !cookie | darren [12:54] darren: Wow!

[13:18] sarmisak, can i pm u [13:18] michael33t: yeah, sure [13:19] actionparsnip i cant seem to work this out [13:19] adac: google dmcrypt. im currently running 4xhd on software raid5+dmcrypt 256bit-sha crypt i think. dont recall anymore what was the default crypt [13:19] Temporarytao: No, I want easy solution for server and only way I can get internet to it is through my computer or maybe from it to my computer [13:19] Boohbah, ActionParsnip, simplexio we just have some internal projects saved on home which noone should get access that easily...so I just ask about what is saver to do [13:19] i tried fdisk /dev/sda1/ and it just says unable to open /dev/sda1 [13:19] ActionParsnip: netstat without sudo does not list entries under the 'PID/Program name' column. [13:19] my mistake, its hda1, but still same error [13:19] simplexio, actually we want to use truecrypt which seems fine for just encrypt home partition [13:19] adac: its not that hard, just crypt /home/ and use long password for user and use long password for crypted partition. and long as 20 chars or like [13:20] adac: have you checked truecrypt? [13:20] So could I either get internet to 2 computers that other hooks to the other? [13:20] Lartza_, like an internet sharing server? [13:20] adac: that cool too. not sure how fast it is. dmcrypt has bonus that its in vanilla kernels [13:20] how would i go about setting a drive as bootable? [13:20] mib_3y3dl51w: move cursor down with down arrow to the big linux partition, use lete and right arows to select the word bootable and press enter, I'm unsure if you can do this on a booted system like this so you may want to look at using a live cd of some kind [13:20] simplexio, adac: yes, it might be faster with dmcrypt [13:20] temporarytao: Propably, I want to run http server and stuff on the linux one [13:21] But should I hook the linux to net and windows or windows to net and linux? [13:21] mib_3y3dl51w: select the partition with up and down, left and right cursor to choose the bottom option, enter to select, remember to write your changes to the disk [13:21] Lartza_, it's prolly better for you to make your ubuntu the computer that connects to internet [13:21] I see! thx for your hel and suggestions guys sarmisak, simplexio and ActionParsnip ! [13:21] Lartza_, its safer and the configuration is a bit easier [13:21] *help [13:22] actionparsnip, i give up can i rebuild ubuntu without losing my huge music collection and not having seperate partitions [13:22] temporarytao: So how is it made? [13:22] Lartza_, but if you still want to proceed with your setup, you only really have to bridge your two ethernet connections from windows [13:22] Any tips on what lang to use to make a program that runs both comline and desktop? [13:23] hjhg [13:23] mib_3y3dl51w: you just need to mark the different partition as bootable, thats all it is [13:23] Well I can use linux as the gateway [13:23] darren__: Practically all of them can do that, you'd have to be more specific [13:23] Lartza_, yeah. how are you connecting to the net by the way? [13:24] orochi, I'm looking to write a torrent mesh program. [13:24] Router > AC/DC Ethernet x2 > Windows [13:24] darren__: A torrent "mesh?" [13:24] orochi, the program would be installed on lots of machines - and would be used to seed torrent for open source projects - bit like mirroring but for torrents. [13:25] Lartza_, if you have a router already, why do you need to pass through your windows machine to get internet to your linux machine? [13:25] actionparsnip yeah but i dont get how to do it, im on a livecd at the moment using terminal [13:25] mib_3y3dl51w: cool, ok so you can see cfdisk with the partitions visible, yes? [13:26] orochi, universities etc would install the program to host torrents automatically [13:26] Is there a way to run something that requirest root password on session startup? [13:26] I'm thinking of using an old 486 box as a linux firewall at home (between the router and three laptops with wireless connections at home). I've never tried something like this before. Does anyone have some pointers to get me going? [13:26] temporarytao: I agree, for a that small setup it might be a great waste of time [13:26] Because I need to :D [13:26] i was using fdisk but ok [13:26] Router is in different room [13:26] mib_3y3dl51w: pm? [13:26] darren__: I think I sort of see what you mean, but most of the clients I've used make it pretty easy to seed torrents on your own? [13:26] orochi, each uni would have a dedicated machine running 24/7 to support the "mesh" - if that's even the right way of saying it. [13:26] Lartza_: ok then, you should set it up like this; modem (or ethernet connection) > ubuntu > switch > other pcs [13:26] sarmisak, he probably just wants to play around [13:26] actionparsnip openned cfdisk, it says fatal error cant open hdd [13:27] Lartza_, you can make an http server by installing lamp and then forwarding the http port to your linux machine from your router [13:27] Lartza_: you should have two ethernets on the ubuntu machine, and one should be connected to your internet connection, other to the switch that you are going to distribute [13:27] I don't have a switch [13:28] And I can't touch Router or the Adapters [13:28] I have setup like this [13:28] Lartza_: ok, how many machines do you have? [13:28] Lartza_: that you are going to serve [13:28] Why does "./executable" return just "-bash: ./executable: No such file or directory" even it exists in the directory? I don't quite get this.

[13:33] unitedpotsmokers, have a look at http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/Database/DatabaseIntro [13:33] Lartza_: ok, the thing is ubuntu won't solve your problems with the router, you will have to direct some traffic to it from the router anyway, have you considered buying a simple 8 port switch?

[13:39] Lartza_, i second sarmisak [13:39] But I have firewall + antivirus + antispyware now as software... [13:40] Since windows is windows...

[13:40] scunizi: he got mad & left :) [13:40] Webu: yeah, you'll need to build this using the libraries on your machine, or install the libraries it wants (look for the 32-bit compatibility libraries) [13:40] derphilipp, go to #ubuntu+1 [13:40] WEll not necessarily, just came to my mind now I wouldn't need to run the software for windows [13:41] sarmisak: wow..

[13:41] Lartza_, well, you can learn to do ip filtering later on [13:41] Lartza_, however, it's not really THAT fool-proof [13:42] unitedpotsmokers: you might want to download it from samsung's own website ;) they provide the drivers [13:42] you still need some security at the windows end. [13:42] QaDeS: well you need jackd, among other things, probably also want qjackctl [13:42] unitedpotsmokers: this for a samsung printer?

[13:42] sarmisak, you got that right [13:43] nikitis: ? [13:43] scunizi, yes [13:43] unitedpotsmokers: if it's for a printer the drivers samsung has on their site work fine.. I've got a clp-600n working like a champ [13:43] sarmisak, : good.. they provide driver for linux.. [13:43] is there a social network for open source programmers?

[13:44] QaDeS: see full requirements at http://qtractor.sourceforge.net/qtractor-index.html [13:44] Now to merge 2 useless computers to one server :D [13:44] unitedpotsmokers: yes, samsung is very collaborative about linux ;) [13:44] darren__: sourceforge?

[14:27] blue112: Flash and web cam who does that anyway? [14:27] I just think 20GB is enough for everything [14:27] Bloody websense filter [14:27] I do have an image, but really bad. [14:27] blue112: Flash is bad [14:27] As advanced multi-server, but with not much hd need [14:27] Lartza_: your 20gb drive may spontaneously fail someday, you can have important files backed up on smaller [14:28] blue112: Flash should be avoided when possible [14:28] Lartza_: as long as you're not dealing with music, video, pics [14:28] sebsebseb: Flash isn't that bad. [14:28] doleyb: That's good! [14:28] Why it is bad ? [14:28] do i have to remove my php installation if i want to add new packages? [14:28] blue112: closed source, locsk people into Adobe. [14:28] @Lartza_ you can use it as backup! :) [14:28] sebsebseb: Only for the player... [14:28] blue112: closed source, locks people into Ubuntu, used for video on websites, when other stuff could be used :) [14:28] i think i speak for all of us when i say this. Open source FTW [14:28] blue112: uh into Adobe above not Ubuntu heh [14:29] !OSS [14:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about OSS [14:29] How about, what is the biggest swap that is not ridiculous and has some improvement on performance etc. if physical ram is 128 + 128 = 256 + 65? = 284? [14:29] blue112: Flash has had some pretty bad security issues in the past to [14:29] What are good disk-encryption tools, other than Truecrypt? [14:29] *64 [14:29] sebsebseb: Yes, but only for the player. [14:29] i never see the point in swap [14:29] hola [14:29] blue112: and the Flash making software is for Window and Mac, not Desktop Linux [14:29] !FOSS [14:29] 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 [14:29] i do have it, but with 2gb of ram, what is it used for [14:29] sebsebseb: Flash IDE is bad [14:30] The fact is that I want my webcam to work with Flash. But how can I do ? [14:30] !foss [14:30] !flash [14:30] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [14:30] blue112: what's this about using Flash for a web cam??? [14:30] yea but with 2gb what should it be? [14:30] adn think BIG [14:30] I want to use it without modifying the kernel.

[14:30] blue112: so you can have a web cam Flash on a website, and people can view it? [14:30] well with my 2gb system that does a lot of video encoding i use around 20% of a 100mb swap [14:31] hi. how "stable" is Ubuntu with a Dell Studio 16? I'm asking because I did try Ubuntu 7/8.x on my Dell Inspiron 5150 and it sometimes hanged (video, or sound, or wi-fi problem) and I wondered if any issue was reported for a Studio 16? [14:31] Yanick_, you can never say until you try [14:31] sebsebseb: That may be an idea, but right now I just want to make some tests with webcam on flash, and it doesn't work as well. [14:31] or use google [14:31] !google [14:31] google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux [14:31] So a 284Mb server with hard server use could 2GB swap be it? [14:31] blue112: I am sure there must be better ways, for people to see your web cam online, than Flash [14:31] him89: of course, but I was wondering of someone already tried [14:31] Yanick_: you might get better references on www.ubuntuforums.org [14:31] bigger or smaller? [14:31] sebsebseb: I don't know other ways. [14:31] !google | Yanick_ [14:31] Yanick_: please see above [14:31] blue112: since Flash is closed source and all, and so Ubuntu developers can't work on it etc [14:32] blue112: and your issue isn't to do with Ubuntu by the sounds of it [14:32] I see you guys are real helpers [14:32] blue112: try #ubuntu-offtopic [14:32] sebsebseb: I know that, but it works pretty well. Except for the webcam, that's what I want to fix it. [14:32] But WAIT :S Now I see a problem on the gateway thing [14:32] Why sebsebseb ? [14:32] http://start.ubuntu.com/9.04/ [14:32] Is it possible with a bridging router [14:33] THat doesn't assign 191 addresses(for example) but 91 [14:33] sebsebseb: The issue is totaly with ubuntu, it's a problem with making my webcam work with flash on Ubuntu. [14:33] Yanick_: you've got 1300+ peoplein here. and 10's of thousands of users on ubuntuforums.. just because we can't answer your question right now doesn't mean we're sniping you [14:33] fosco: I tried nm-applet and it worked on another window manager. Thanks your a lifesaver! [14:34] hi [14:34] i've got a question about english :] [14:34] and Yanick_ its worth a try, get 8.10 [14:34] Someone? Internet sharing with external ip's on computers? [14:34] hi [14:34] how can i conclude a letter ? [14:34] like best regards [14:34] blue112: heh well stick around, and you will find other people will tell you Flash is bad etc as well, and hopefully tell you something else you can use for web cam [14:34] kn100: sure, it's the time I don't have (to "try") [14:34] him89, cant get the drivers from the main site [14:35] nameless`: What type of letter is it? [14:35] sebsebseb: I already know that, I just want to know how make it work -_- [14:35] blue112: your issue is probably more a Linux issue if anything [14:35] GodfatherofEir1, what is the problem?

It has something to do with my favorite iconset. How can I trouble shoot this? [15:24] has a white box in upper left corner now [15:24] How do I solve the problem with my home folder? [15:24] where's the gnome-panel log? :) [15:24] Botux: Is that a terminal? [15:25] ? any ideas how to remove window title font shadowing ? [15:25] no itsduring the boot rocess when i first turn on the computer [15:25] Quick dumb question: I've already got 2.6.24-23-generic in my /boot/grub/menu.lst, so why is the automatic update thingy downloading it again? [15:25] Botux: Do you have Xwindows running but no window manager? [15:25] Botux: Say again? [15:25] it goes to an orangeish screen after i login [15:26] to the gui [15:26] Botux: What did you install? [15:27] i installed from cd so i assume it has a window manager since i installed it from cd [15:27] ubunut 7.04 [15:27] ubuntu* [15:27] Botux: Why did you install such an old version? [15:27] Botux: I do not think 7.04 is still supported. [15:27] Botux: I had some issues with 8.10, but 8.04 is pretty stable. [15:27] Botux: you should install 8.04 [15:28] becuase im out of cds lol and im on a vista machine so netboot would have been a pian so i figured i install 7.04 from a retail cd and upgrade to 8.10 [15:28] Botux: 8.10 is the current version of Ubuntu. [15:28] Unetbootin [15:28] Is there any way to extend the space restrictions on home folder? [15:28] No CDs needed === tk|away is now known as tk [15:28] Botux: But you might be able to do Dist-Upgrade, but that is a tedious process [15:29] thing is i wnat tyo install to another pc other than my vist pc [15:29] Botux: Best to just install from 8.04 or 8.10 install CD [15:29] Botux: why not install wubi then convert it to a real partition? [15:29] TotalEklipse: what space restrictions? [15:29] how can i make my administrator account the same as root? [15:29] Botux: I never recommend upgrading, personally. Better to do a fresh install each time. I don't trust even Microsoft to manage upgrades and they have considerably more of a budget for testing (we'll ignore for a second the question of where it gets spent) [15:29] right but i dont have 8.04 or 8.10 [15:29] Botux: vist? You mean MS Vista? [15:29] !root | Barnicle [15:29] Barnicle: 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 [15:29] Botux: or just wait untill 9.04 and do a clean install and put Ext4 as your file system. 9.04 is released on April 23rd [15:29] yes vista ultimate [15:30] Question: where can I find the gnome-panel error logs files? Gnome panels are misbehaving. [15:30] Well, its restricting me from placing any more files in there! [15:30] Botux: Is your native language English? Or not? [15:30] english yes [15:30] is Ubuntu a cake? [15:30] Botux: are you able to log in with failsafe GNOME session? [15:30] chechnya: yes a very nice cake [15:30] ive added a user to my ubuntu install using adduser -g group user now im logged in via ssh with my new user but i dont have a home dir how do i create one ? [15:30] i need help after updating the kernel my wifi stop [15:30] chechnya: strawberry taste [15:30] chechnya: it tastes very nice [15:30] Botux: Ok. Well, I would suggest downloading and installing latest version. (For best Ubuntu experinece.)

[15:33] ohletmeinnowjesu: I share your pain, only in my case it's an ATI driver. Ubuntu sucks when it comes to driver support. Sadly, the rest of Linux sucks even more. [15:33] darren: q [15:33] i've been using metacity instead of compiz. desktop effects therefore are @none. is there anyway to get basic ones? the minimise effect is very annoying.

[15:34] etfb: well, i dont know about that, i LOVE what im sseing so far...ive been using it for about 6 months now..everything was fine untill i "upgraded" to nvidias 180 driver [15:34] Botux: But you'd still have to have another CD [15:34] etfb: problem is the nvidia drivers arent open source, ie ppl cant work on them to fix them... [15:34] ohletmeinnowjesu: Yeah, everything else is glorious. But video drivers? Verily they are arse pudding on toast. [15:34] can someone help my wireless now does not work due to the update of the kernel my computer is amilo 1718 [15:35] Botux: I think I remember getting the same problem as you once. With 7.04. I believe a process called something like bonoboo was hanging. Killing it made the session start. [15:35] hi, can I get putty for ubuntu? i have a .ppk file i need to read with putty........

[15:39] i cant move the window to the other desktop.. but the mouse cursor can move.. [15:39] TotalEklipse: there are no restriction on the size of the home folder by default.

[15:49] 'update-manager -d' gives you the option to upgrade [15:49] I don't get it though, when I use the disk usage analyser it shows the total filesystem capacity as 100GB with 45.6% used! [15:49] Duddle: depending on the app itself you might be able to tell it to "shut up" a bit.. usually a -quiet switch or similar [15:49] Hello, I need a torrent file to download all ftp of Ubuntu.

[17:47] gamla_kossan: "man xrandr", or try "DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output LVDS --auto" (not testted) [17:47] sipior, and i have the pattern file that i used with grep to find all of these for the #'s at the front of each line [17:47] amgarching: thanks [17:47] rampage73: something like "sed -e 's/^\(1234567890\).*/\1000000000/' [17:47] amgarching: trying that right away [17:47] gamla_kossan: Try: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [17:48] mheath_: so you have done it, any suggestions? I think it is just put it on as if it was an internal and then what I said already [17:48] sipior, thanks i will work with it [17:48] mheath_: what are the quirks? how to solve them? [17:49] i utterly am sick of windows [17:49] rampage73: the info pages for sed provide literally hours of amusement. depending on how you define amusement. lots of examples, and a good place for you to start "info sed" [17:49] but forced to deal with it :( [17:49] sebsebseb: well, yes, that should work, but there are some annoyances with that process. First, Ubuntu doesn't automatically mount other physical hard drives if you didn't add them during instal,so you'll have to manually mount the drives on the machine itself to get access to them from Ubuntu... [17:49] sipior, thanks been there and will go back or learn perl [17:50] gamla_kossan: Did you try: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [17:50] Hey has anyone tried using a version broardband 3G card with ubuntu? === hbullen is now known as lotu [17:50] sebsebseb: and Ubuntu's video stuff is going to be optomized for the graphics card and display of the machine you install it on. While its pretty forgiving and should fallback on something supported, you might eventually encounter a machine where those viodeo settings don't allow x.org to start. [17:50] why cant i upgrade from gutsy to hardy? damn [17:50] usr13: yeah, trying it now [17:51] sebsebseb: theres no very good workaround for that, unfortunately. The one thing would be to customize the x.org config file to be very simple and generic, but that severely limits things like the available resolution and prohibits you from doing any 3d stuff. [17:51] ron2010: I was having a similar problem in VirtualBox running WinXP. I solved it with Guest Additions. I don't recall the exact details, but it still doesn't "capture" my mouse (like vmware would). [17:51] mheath_: yeah I know about that [17:51] krychek: Why not? [17:51] mheath_: ,but this particular guy may not even need the propritary driver anyway [17:52] usr13: sweet, it worked :) (didn't think it would - I thought ubuntu handled reoslutions elsewhere since 8.10?) [17:52] krychek: Need instructions?: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/upgrade-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-to-ubuntu-804-lts-hardy-heron-beta.html [17:52] sebsebseb: well, yeah, but even if you don't need the ATI or Nvidia propreitary driver's, its still cutomized. [17:52] gamla_kossan: It does IF there is not xorg.conf file. [17:52] Sooo [17:52] mheath_: xorg you mean? [17:52] usr13: the upgrade button is missing [17:53] sebsebseb: your video card, if its new, has a specific driver even if the driver is open source or free. X.org will be set to use this driver. [17:53] sebsebseb: it will also autodetect your monitor settings, and configure the resolutions supported by the monitor you're using during the install. [17:53] usr13: these instructions are for hardy beta [17:53] does ubuntu automatically keep a log of all the text you see when you boot the system? [17:53] mheath_: xorg could be rested in recovery mode or whatever, before using on each computer? then get a new xorg config every time [17:53] Anyone want to give/buy me a new pc ? [17:53] krychek: What do you mean, it is missing? Grayed out...? [17:53] Shhhh: sure, how about a system witha 4" display and 2 kb of ram? [17:54] sebsebseb: well, yes, you can regenerate each time. [17:54] haha [17:54] onthefence928: dmesg [17:54] mheath_: as for detecting drives??? [17:54] usr13: no, its just not there in the update-manager [17:54] sebsebseb: you'll have to manually mount the hard drives on the host computer, if you want access to them. [17:54] krychek: Does it say anthying about 8.04 ? [17:54] or...? [17:55] Shhhh: not a good idea to buy second hand PC's usaully, because you won't know what quality the hardware really is in, and other reasons, plus that's off topic here [17:55] !ot [17:55] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [17:55] usr13: and when i run update-manager --dist-upgrade it says that my system is up-to-date [17:55] krychek: ... at top? [17:55] lol [17:55] allq: what do u mean vbox take control of my usb dongle [17:55] usr13: no [17:55] yea i bought this pc im using here now used for like 20 bucks.. === saurabhgupta1403 is now known as saurabh1403 [17:56] Shhhh: what spec? [17:56] umm [17:56] krychek: did you do update-manager --devel-release > [17:56] does anyone know of a simple FTP server i can use with ubuntu? [17:56] krychek: > was supposed to be ?

[17:57] ok well i've been getting wierd error messages whenever i boot y system (which otherwise seems to run fine, but i'm a linux newb so maybe i just don't notice the problem during normal use) http://paste.ubuntu.com/146321/ <- is the output of dmesg, which looks nothing like the errors i see at boot, but regardless maybe someone here can help [17:58] on a side note apparently pidgin doesn't recognize the word linux and wants to mark it as misspelled >.> [17:58] and i'm running ubuntu 8.10 [17:58] hey [17:58] computer: Inter(R) Celeron(R) CPU 1.80GHz 1.79 GHz 512mn Ram [17:58] onthefence928: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/apic-error-on-cpu1-0040-613162/ [17:58] mheath_: I thought if Ubuntu get's put on a external hard disk, that the computer gets told to boot from it? and then Ubuntu should detect the drives [17:59] which i got by upgrading automatically from 8.04 (as opposed to a fresh install [17:59] sory i was busy [17:59] krychek: Did u check if your disrto was already upgraded automatically?? [17:59] #soluxione [17:59] Shhhh: not bad, similar to all of my systems [17:59] sebsebseb: yes, the drive itself is detected and auto configured. The rest of the drives are not.

[18:00] Shhhh: it depends on your needs [18:00] mheath_: what about setting up two differnet hardware configs? [18:00] its still gutsy [18:00] is there a way to set partition active from command line [18:00] yea [18:00] yes [18:00] hey [18:00] and my needs are WAY more cpu :) [18:00] sebsebseb: THe way that ubuntu keeps track of what drives to mount is in a simple text file. While auto generated at install, this just has a list of the device ("/dev/sda1") and where to mount ("/media/harddrive"). If it isn't in the list, it won't be mounted. [18:01] is there a way to permanently change mac address in ubuntu? [18:01] sebsebseb: you could write a script to do that, but theres no builtin support. [18:01] krychek: what does lsb_release -a say? [18:01] i am trying to make bootable usb stick, and windows isn't letting me set active partition unless it's first drive [18:01] proudfoot: Yes [18:01] well does gutsy support dist-upgrade?? [18:01] usr13: how? [18:01] mheath_: hardware configs no built in suppourt on Ubuntu, but can write a script to do it ah ok [18:01] now to avoid messing with drive order in bios, is there a way to do it from ubuntu? [18:01] usr13: 7.10 gutsy [18:01] ActionParsnip: i don't know if that is exactly my problem. and the posted solution seems to do nothing but ignore error messages [18:01] i just want to set flag active on usb flash drive [18:01] i found a page off google, but my interfaces file is empty [18:02] ss4vegeta4ss: i use deluge [18:02] mheath_: any idea how to do the script? or should I ask someone else who suggested the hardware config idea [18:02] and if i add something to that page, the network manager fails [18:02] axsd9d: all release should support dist upgrade [18:02] so i'm not sure how to change the mac address perm [18:02] proudfoot: you can edit /etc/network/interfaces and add a line hwaddress ether 00:11:22:33:44:55:66 or whatever you wanna use [18:02] What download manager to use with Ubuntu and Firefox?

[18:09] seb_: not exactly ,but the bot [18:09] !sound [18:09] 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).

I can do it all in a window in Linux. For me, it's even better than a dual boot. I don't have to reboot to use Windows. [18:19] just confiring here, I assume two Ubuntu installs can share the same home folder, no problem? [18:19] confirming above [18:19] AethelRed: I'm soo going to do that, something I never thought off.

[19:01] Mike_lifeguard: tar+gzip or tar+bzip2 are both alternatives to rar [19:01] ActionParsnip: is there a way to add it in gui im slow with the command prompt [19:01] ok, cool [19:01] i need help, i updated to the latest kernel and now my wifi dont work [19:01] Mike_lifeguard: but gzip and bzip2 are only compressors, you still need tar to keep the directory structure [19:01] krychek: I think you may be missing some repos [19:02] botux1: well i gave you the command, you can copy / paste the command [19:02] anyone? [19:02] no [19:02] krychek: Don't see gutsy-security main [19:02] krychek: Is that the whole file?

[19:02] usr13: i tried to remove all repos but one [19:02] usr13: no i have full access [19:02] Mike_lifeguard: haha another alternative would be to create a loopback disk image with whatever file system you wanted, and the compress that :) [19:03] how do i reinstall standard drivers after deleting them ? [19:03] actionparsnip: lol copy and paste it where? [19:03] when running the command ./configure on an extracted .tar.gz directory, i'm getting an error saying "C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sainity check" and it won't let me run the make command. anyone know how to fix this?

[19:03] I don't really need to know, was just curious [19:03] krychek: Do you have GUI on it? [19:03] Mike_lifeguard: that's pretty extreme but if you're making an iso image it's basically the same thing [19:03] oh ok [19:03] i need help, i updated to the latest kernel and now my wifi dont work [19:03] usr13: yes, i have GUI [19:03] I'm not sure what the fs is on the external 1TB hd and don't really want to load it up in windows because I suspect it may have a virus on it. Any suggestions on how to get it mount under 8.10 livecd?

[19:09] Actionparsnip there are a few sections to add to [19:09] i went thru all the Ctrl alt F1-F7, nothing, so its wasnt using an extra tty, and all the programs i had loaded arent loaded (looked in system monitor). very odd. [19:09] krychek: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade [19:09] botux1: add the repo address to the bottom of the file, save and exit it [19:09] ok cool [19:09] thought so but wasnt sure [19:11] usr13: no luck.. still no upgrade button [19:11] does anyone have a madwifi file as the site is not working === Mud|lunch is now known as Mud [19:11] botux1: doesnt matter where it is in that file as long as its on its own line [19:13] ActionParsnip: im getting GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 778978B00F7992B0 [19:13] when i run that command [19:13] krychek: Heck I don't know...

[19:15] ty usr13 [19:15] RedMushroom: No [19:15] usr13: shoot. anyone know of a FTP server that has a GUI for ubunto? [19:15] RedMushroom: proftpd is an ftp server [19:15] ubuntu [19:15] Are any of MP3, WMA, non-protected AAC, WAV and Audible 2,3 and 4 free file formats that intrepid will support without adding anything [19:15] usr13: yeah, i'm looking for one that has a gui [19:15] RedMushroom: No [19:15] (ie, I know you can add mp3 support if you want... but what if I don't want?) [19:15] so none of them have a gui? [19:16] hello, i' ve got a problem. how can i see, which device in /dev/ my USB-Stick is? [19:16] RedMushroom: That is correct. But not sure what a GUI would do for you...??? [19:16] hi all. I need to repair a file system manually...can someone please help [19:16] is there a known bug with Intrepid about USB? there is a kernel warning about ehci_hcd and uhci_hcd driver loading order, but the stock kernel loads the 1.1 driver before 2.0. that seems to force the 2.0 controller to run at 1.1 speeds. the 1.1 is integrated on my server so removing it is not really an option, nor desirable. [19:16] just make it easier to use. [19:16] karsten_: maybe check dmesg or run sudo fdisk -l and compare sizes [19:16] ok thanks, i try it [19:16] RedMushroom: From the client you mean? [19:17] no, for the ftp server admin [19:17] RedMushroom: To use??? Or do you mean to configure? [19:17] basically, think rapache for an ftp server [19:17] RedMushroom, proftpd has a gui.

There is a GUI application that someone has created to use on proftpd [19:21] botux1: it's kind of pointless bothering to put kde4.2 into 8.10 now, with 9.04 just round the corner with kde4.2 in the repo by default [19:21] usr13: yeah, i'm wanting to install that i guess [19:21] he asked for a gui, i gave him one.

[19:22] ive never actually used it ).. its easy enough without [19:22] deany: RedMushroom Because, that's all there would be to do is start or stop it. Right?

It just sits there saying it will auto boot in 3 and never counts down.

[20:09] moller_: apparnatlly your on 32bit, and so you do 32bit Ubuntu not 64bit [20:10] moller_, you would have to donwload the 64 bit iso === luis_lopez_lunch is now known as luis_lopez [20:10] Syntux: dunno; never used it. just exposing the options you have [20:10] moller_: also for various reasons I woudn't normalley recommend wubi [20:10] mar2: or, it may still let you do a remount as read-only instead of unmounting entirely. (check the mount/umount man pages for details on the syntax for that) [20:10] sebsebseb: Wubi 64 bit worked fine, so would you recommend me to use 64 bit? [20:10] moller_: how much RAM?

[20:12] ikonia: he wants to know how much RAM he has now [20:12] ikonia: Ram, but I think I've found it, if it's memory [20:13] free -h or top, or cat /proc/meminfo [20:13] sorry free -m [20:13] woodefec, do you mean what it is named? [20:14] sebsebseb: Would I be able to use 64 bit with only 2GiB ram? [20:14] How would I go about loading a driver module to the kernel? [20:14] moller_: if you have a 64bit compatible proccessor, but people say not worth bothering with 64bit unless you have 4GB or more RAM [20:15] moller_: the ram is not a factor to if you "can" use 64bit - why do you "want" to use 64bit ix the key factor [20:15] I'm not sure what the fs is on my external 1TB hd and don't really want to load it up in windows because I suspect it may have a virus on it. Any suggestions on how to get it mount under 8.10 livecd? [20:16] moller_: and does your processor "support" 64bit is the limiting factor [20:16] sebsebseb: Ahh okay. Well the main reason for this is that I just tried to install the nVidia driver 180.44, but it kinda messed it all up (I did download the 32bit driver) [20:16] CrawfordComeaux: just mount it - ubuntu should detect it for you [20:16] how do i redo my partitions wehn i allready have windows? [20:16] ikonia: it isn't [20:16] moller_: you're using 32bit ubuntu - so thats not a problem [20:16] I am trying to run XDMCP or whatever it’s called from Mac to Ubuntu [20:16] moller_: yeah 32bit drivers won't work with 64bit kernels, as far as I know [20:16] CrawfordComeaux: what command did you do [20:16] sdk [20:16] but keyboard is on the wrong planet [20:16] any one on identi.ca... need to know a good desktop client for it [20:16] sebsebseb: Oh crap. [20:17] sebsebseb: How do I check what kernal I have lol? [20:17] moller_: uname - r [20:17] moller_: uname -r [20:17] sebsebseb: Returns: 2.6.27.11-generic. === marius_ is now known as Tenebrus [20:17] sebsebseb: Could you translate that? :P [20:17] moller_: no it doesn't [20:17] moller_: sounds like 32bit to me [20:18] moller_: uname -m is correct [20:18] sudo mount /dev/sdc /external/media (sdc1 not available). also tried -t autofs, xfs, ntfs, hfsplus, vfat. also tried disabling ehci_hcd before connecting. [20:18] sebsebseb: how can you tell if thats 32bit ? [20:18] sebsebseb: that's just a kernel name - how can you tell it's 32bit [20:18] ikonia: Well im trying to check my kernal [20:18] ikonia: that's what I thought to, but someone earlier said it would say if it was 64bit [20:18] sebsebseb: I said the command is "uname -m" [20:18] moller_, yes uname -r is kernel version and uname -m is architeture type [20:19] How would I go about loading a driver module to the kernel? [20:19] sebsebseb: if ubunut recommends fresh install each time a new version comes out then that would be a lot of backing up of documnets and stuff [20:19] GodfatherofEire, which driver for which hardware? [20:19] sebsebseb: don't lie - if you thought that was the wrong command you wouldn't make a comment like "looks like 32bit" there is no way you can tell it's 32bit from that line [20:19] can someone recommend a ProFTPD interface running on apache? [20:19] hey can i install intrepid on my new fujitsu lifebook 8711 [20:19] ikonia: How would I check it then? === KennethP__ is now known as KennethP [20:19] botux1: sometimes there is a proper reason to clean install, and other times an upgrade is just fine [20:19] coz_ RTL8185L [20:19] moller_: uname -m shows you the architechture [20:19] oh ok [20:19] vegombrei, did you download the live cd? [20:20] most people have been telling me clean install is bets way [20:20] coz_: i could [20:20] GodfatherofEire, mm what is that? [20:20] botux1: when 9.04 is released and for those that want the Ext4 file system, well yes getting rid of 8.10 and putting 9.04 on with Ext4 partitions, would be a proper reason for a clean install, ,but for those that don't care about it, an upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 would be ok [20:20] ikonia: Well it returns i686 which is 32 bit, but doesnt that change depending on if I use 32 bit ubuntu or 64 bit? [20:20] vegombrei, that would be the best way of checking just stick it in reboot and see if things work well [20:20] botux1: it's just meant to be a lot faster and such [20:20] moller_: that shows you are using ubuntu 32bit [20:20] coz_: you think i'd face a driver problem or anything coz i really prefer ubuntu to vista [20:20] coz_ its a wireless card [20:20] moller_, yes so you have 32 bit installed [20:20] tonyyarusso: sorry tony i disappeared for a while [20:20] moller_: it won't change unless you install the ubuntu 64bit distribution [20:21] GodfatherofEire, `oh ok darn I am not up on wireless cards at all I am sure someone here can helpt though [20:21] i am getting an error when trying to load gsynaptics, it says set "SHMconfig" to 1 in xorg.conf, but doesnt ubuntu use HAL or something now ? [20:21] coz_: If i then installed 64 bit, it would return something else, aye? [20:21] ok got ya [20:21] moller_: correct [20:21] moller_, indeed it it would:0 [20:21] :) [20:21] No problem [20:21] ikonia how r 32 bit and 64 bit are different?? [20:21] GodfatherofEire, do you have a link for the dirver? [20:21] Ext4 better a lot better? [20:21] tonyyarusso: i accidentily pressed that shortcut before reading what you said not realising it took me completely away from the desktop..had no idea how to get back :-! [20:21] gauravkittz: different hardware platforms [20:21] botux1: no - it's still very early [20:21] botux1: and I have a proper reason to clean install my setup, which is not 8.10 anymore, and that's been a while. never get a development version when your new by the way [20:21] Well, how would I then figure out if my cpu was able to handle 64 bit? [20:22] GodfatherofEire, there should be a README file inside the driver directory that you downloaded [20:22] moller_: let me ask you this why do you "want" to use 64bit ? [20:22] guaravkittz: the difference, essentially, is address space. a 32bit register vs a 64bit register [20:22] coz_ there is, but it just says to load the module to the kernel [20:22] right [20:22] eqisow: super one line summary [20:22] guaravkittz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64bit [20:22] GodfatherofEire, o0 mm do you have a link for that driver let me take a look at it [20:23] ikonia: sudo mount /dev/sdc /external/media (sdc1 not available). also tried -t autofs, xfs, ntfs, hfsplus, vfat. also tried disabling ehci_hcd before connecting. [20:23] big difference btw ext3 and ext4? [20:23] coz_ http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=1&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8185L [20:23] CrawfordComeaux: you mount a partition - not a disk [20:23] ikonia: he probably does not know the difference between 32bit and 64bit Linux, to be honest I am not 100% sure myself [20:23] you can look at 32 and 64 bit like a milshake with 32 straws or 64 straws:) [20:23] ikonia: Because I used it with Wubi, so therefore I was more used to that, and because my graphic driver seems to be messed up, so I thought it might be because of 32 bit, but I must be wrong. [20:23] <_pisecx_> Hi. I have a question to english-speaking people. Does word "ubuntology" makes any sense to you? [20:23] sebsebseb: then let him answer [20:23] ok...so no partition is detected on the disk. what now? [20:23] coz_: that's a terrible idiom [20:23] is opera better than firefox? [20:23] CrawfordComeaux: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc put it in a pastebin [20:24] deco: try it see what you like [20:24] moller_: there is no different in how you manage a 32bit/64bit desktop so you won't be used to one more than the other [20:24] !best | deco [20:24] deco: 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. [20:24] lol [20:24] eth01, I know but it gets part of the message across :) [20:25] GodfatherofEire, I believe the readme file states (2)Load the driver module to kernel and start up nic [20:25] ./wlan0up [20:26] coz_ i know [20:26] I need to know HOW to load it to the kernel [20:26] Well thanks all. Im off to restarting my computer [20:26] GodfatherofEire, in terminal ./wlan0up [20:26] brb [20:27] anyone know of any programs for blackberries and linux [20:27] I was used dd to erase a hard drive, I make a mistake and I used dd with with /dev/hda instead of /dev/sda, now I have a new hard drive as hda with 250MB, How can I remove/merge that hda dev ?? [20:27] botux1: there is a sync program called "john" but it's quite beta and breaks a lot [20:27] botux1: nothing official as blackberry is closed source from rim [20:27] ikonia: if someone put 32bit Ubuntu on a 64bit compatible computer, would uname -m say that their computer can handle 64bit? [20:27] sebsebseb: no [20:28] ikonia: wow right i have a curve and would love to synch and update it through ubuntu [20:28] ikonia: it's only for the version that is installed? [20:28] sebsebseb: correct [20:28] ikonia: ok that's what I thought, thanks [20:28]  I have used dd to erase a hard drive, I made a mistake and I have used dd with /dev/hda instead of /dev/sda, now I have a new hard drive as hda with 250MB, How can I remove/merge that hda dev ?? [20:28] tonyyarusso: would you mind explaining again how to unmount/remount that folder/partition? [20:29] ikonia: what's the difference between i386 and i686? [20:30] sebsebseb: one is optimised for new x86 platform, but in reality nothing [20:31] ikonia: ah I see, i386 for older x86 and i686 for newer [20:31] berriop: hda did not existed before? [20:31] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/d6d8951f9 [20:31] pretty much, but in reality it meants nothing [20:31] ikonia: ok thanks again [20:31] CrawfordComeaux: that disk has no partition table [20:32] erusul: yes it didnt exist, just sda [20:32] then how was windows able to store any files on it?

[21:02] dudette -> man ls; 0 is type regular text file [21:02] Hi, how can I find out what version of libpcap do I have on my Ubuntu machine ? [21:03] lukavia: ok, what version of ubuntu? [21:03] Ienorand, i did su than launced it [21:03] Anybody know how to un-password the GRUB from a root terminal?

[21:05] n8tuser: where did you get that info from? "man ls" doesn't mention this anywhere [21:05] unko: Sure. [21:05] lukavia: Alsa is default, did you uninstall it, or trying new version? [21:05] n8tuser, but its been put in an MD5 hash, and no, I could have sworn I typed in the password correctly, but I guess I didnt [21:05] wathek: the difference between the 32 and 64 bit is mainly that 64 bit can address more than 4GB of memory.. speedwise it's almost the same [21:05] dudette -> do you like to argue or follow what i suggested? [21:06] I've tried several alterations, but I guess I made an error putting it in initially [21:06] Picassotamus: i tried alsa-driver-1.0.19 [21:06] Slart: so no difference if I install 32 or 64 bits [21:06] ok [21:06] * jcole discovers xrdp [21:06] n8tuser: would trying 9.4 make a diffrence ? [21:06] n8tuser, /boot/grub/menu.lst right? [21:06] thanx Slart [21:06] GodfatherofEir1 -> no other way i know of other than re-installing [21:06] wathek: some proprietary stuff is still 32 bit only.. I can't use the firefox plugin for my e-security thingy since it's 32bit only.. [21:06] n8tuser: what did you suggest? i am looking at the man ls page and can not find that section where it says that 0 mean regular text file [21:06] lukavia: Is you card listed as supported by ALSA? [21:06] GodfatherofEir1 -> yes its that file [21:07] Slart: I see [21:07] Ok, i'll try again [21:07] Anyone?

[21:07] but the post says it's only tested to see if it boots to Bios [21:07] !upgrade | grumbel [21:07] grumbel: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [21:07] Picassotamus: hmmm, i didn't check that, in 8.04 worked .... [21:07] if a computer boots to bios, will it also boot to hard-drive? [21:07] grumbel: check how to upgrade the server version of ubuntu.. that doesn't come with X/Gnome [21:08] lukavia: It should still be supported then... i still don't understand why you are trying to compile ALSA [21:08] Mike_lifeguard: here now [21:08] is there a way to get stuff i have removed from the trash bin ? [21:08] or is there a significant risk that a computer won't recognize any hard-drives? [21:08] mib_wbho696i: there are a few tools.. testdisk is one [21:08] thanks n8tuser, must have not saved the changes [21:08] sebsebseb: Can I just PM you? It's noisy in here :) [21:08] Picassotamus: what am i suppose to do ? [21:09] directly from computer, not through a mike [21:09] Mike_lifeguard: yep of course [21:09] mib_wbho696i: take a look at "photorec" or "foremost" [21:09] Is there anyone that can help me? :s [21:09] Picassotamus: i install fresh copy of 8.10 via Wubi and i have no sound [21:09] Slart: ok, do-release-upgrade seems to do the trick [21:10] If I want to install Ubuntu should I buy an HP Compaq Tablet PC?

[21:13] Picassotamus: Wubi installs itself within the Windows file system, adds itself as a Windows "program," then adds a boot loader entry. It runs as Ubuntu itself, but does not require modification of your Windows installation.

[21:37] deany: the thing is is that it does a similar crash in gnomebaker, but ill try k3b [21:37] _Brun0_: yes, IceWM is basic but is basically laid out similar to Windows. With XFCE4, I disabled panel and run avant-window-navigator with compiz. it's closer to mac than win [21:38] can sonome help me with this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=259448 I am using the VNC4server variant as this is a remote installation.

[21:38] iamstupid: you have to upgrade to 7.10 first, and then you can upgrade to 8.04 [21:38] but can't upgrade - i seem to have solved the problem with my sources list [21:39] yeah that 's what i'm trying to do sebsebseb [21:39] can anyone plz help mee? [21:39] iamstupid: try running 'sudo update-manager -d' [21:39] iamstupid: 8.04 being the current latest stable. and if your not going to upgrade release by release, you shoud probably stay with LTS's [21:39] !upgrade | iamstupid [21:39] iamstupid: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [21:39] ubottu: been there done that [21:39] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:39] BuzZz: it makes its own file system. you cannot install on a ntfs m8.

[21:40] <_Brun0_> rickest, IceWM rocks i've used it some years ago! Does it messes my system to have xfce or IceWM with gnome? [21:40] <|ntegra|> I can't edit lilo by lilo.conf.goblinx or #lilo -v -v ,, so how else might I conficker my lilo proper?? [21:40] wamty: make sure VNC is done over SSH, if your doing it using the net, or you won't be secure [21:40] _Brun0_: not at all [21:40] I'm getting no sound when playing any kind of media file (with sound(track) enabled) when I use VLC, all other players work fine. Any clue what that could be? [21:40] wamty: I use TightVNC, however, so there may be differences in how yours is configured compared to mine [21:41] <|ntegra|> I like grub so much better >familiarity [21:41] <_Brun0_> rickest, I might dump xfce to use IceWM now that you remembered me about it. 2 extremes lol. [21:41] wamty: do you have a amd64 cpu ? [21:41] kon i dont want install ubuntu over NTFS the only thing i need is erase 2 files... that's all, its possible do that from live cd ? [21:41] Freeaqingme: have you got all the codecs installed? [21:41] BuzZz: yes its possible m8 :) [21:41] !sound | Freeaqingme [21:41] Freeaqingme: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [21:41] _Brun0_: yeah, IceWM is another magnitude smaaller than XFCE :). I do like compiz, however, and you cannot replaced Ice's WM so that's why I stuck with XFCE [21:41] I cant install Ubuntu 8.10 [21:42] <|ntegra|> k.bye [21:42] what is the gid of admin group? [21:42] BuzZz: The live cd will display any and every hdd in your systems ide or sata [21:42] _Brun0_: later, you can even get rid of Gnome with: apt-get purge gnome-desktop [21:42] xjam: why not? how have you tried to install it? [21:42] Probably disc error? [21:42] Kon: a last question, what is "m8" sorry my english sucks [21:42] !md5sum | xjam [21:42] xjam: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [21:42] xjam: did you do a disck check first ? [21:42] <_Brun0_> BuzZz, should be possible. Google for: ubuntu mount ntfs. You need to mount it. [21:42] hiays. how come i got a 1-2 seconds midi latency when using alsa/jack? [21:42] xjam: to see if the cd is intact [21:42] thnks _Brun0_ :) [21:42] yes I did. I've checked disc first. [21:42] i will try it..! [21:43] xjam: can you boot from the CD at all [21:43] ? [21:43] _Brun0_: I'm not necessarily recommending that, just that most folks don't realize ALL the *buntus are the same thing except for what they install by default, and that CAN be changed later w/o having to switch *buntu [21:43] -_- [21:43] yes I can. [21:43] we* [21:43] ;) [21:43] xjam: why can't you install then? you can boot up a live session on the cd? or the installer? [21:43] I'm in live session now. [21:43] ok im out of here before i get 1,000 pm's for help. [21:43] xjam: you meant, you don't know how to install? [21:43] peace :) [21:43] I know how to install but I get error message [21:44] xjam: what's the error message [21:44] <_Brun0_> rickest, yea they are all the same lion with different clothes =P [21:44] hihi [21:44] hm, the system is telling me that CD or disc might have some errors and then quits froom installing. [21:44] reid_: !hi | reid [21:44] !hi | reid [21:44] reid: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:45] _Brun0_: yep. the various *buntu packages are ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop (XFCE), etc. Or as I said earlier, you can just install ubuntu-server and then only install the exact packages you want. less cruft [21:45] Hey you're very quick with answers... [21:45] Picassotamus: lshw gives a long list and no sound devices [21:45] xjam: ok you md5sumed the ISO before burning to CD? [21:45] hi everyone - am having issues updating ubuntu because i've left it so long. I managed to sort out the fact that it couldn't download all repository indexes by changing my sources list. I have now done this and when I try to upgrade, I get an error message saying "No valid mirror found" - please can anyone help me? [21:45] xjam: me? [21:45] No, I guess I have to. [21:45] so if I want to install just the KDE environment I can do kubuntu-server and not get all the worthless crap? [21:45] Yes you too. [21:45] xjam: ok it's in Windows on there?

[21:47] blip: in newer computers above [21:47] hi everyone - am having issues updating ubuntu 7.04 to 7.10 and beyond (!) because i've left it so long.

[22:05] hi guys, how do I specify that eth0 should pick up thorugh DHCP.. but i need to configure this through the command prompt [22:06] epaphus: try looking at the file.. /etc/interfaces or something like that [22:06] sebsebseb: Yes I wonder what's wrong with it. [22:06] epaphus: or perhaps /etc/network/interfaces.. [22:06] am i asking a difficult question? how do i change the default appearance for the "guest account" feature? it's been ignored/lost several times now. (not trying to be too impatient) [22:06] xjam: well there are ways to install Ubuntut without a CD as well [22:06] epaphus: you could to it completely manually by sudo dhclient eth0 [22:06] epaphus: I even think it has a man page..

[22:08] wamty: just asking "anyone?" will only make people annoyed.. repeat the whole question every 20 minutes or so.. if someone knows they will probably answer [22:08] xjam: oh you just done install on the CD? yeah boot up the Live session and then you can run the installer [22:08] wamty: Probably no one knows, try forums maybe? === Guest98824 is now known as Anj [22:08] Ingsoc: i'm pretty sure that's telling you that you don't have the key for the repository installed properly.

In this hypothetical scenario in which i am a complete tool, how would I get root access back? [22:10] which packages should i have installed? [22:10] goyishekop: Yes, that is whenI get the error. mroc: Ok, so what do I do? [22:10] I can boot 2.6.24 but not 2.6.27 on my laptop -- it complains that it can't find the root filesystem, tosses me into Busybox [22:10] there's no reason that Kdevelop won't work on my ubuntu 8.10 with gnome right? [22:10] happyhessian: that site seems to work for me.. with the little moving java guy [22:10] onthefence928: you can run KDE apps in Gnome [22:10] onthefence928: KDE programs usually work in gnome too [22:10] k awesome [22:10] cuz eclipse pisses me off [22:10] Slart: i just see the little white cow in the big white snowstorm :-( [22:10] If I download and install ms-sys on a usb flash drive containing Ubuntu 8.10 LiveCd that I boot from.

It saw it as a pan0. I tried to install some drivers for my motherboard in case it would work, but it failed to install due to a lack of a, "config.h" [22:13] mroc: see this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1047353.html But I can't figure out which repo is giving me problems [22:13] xjam: one computer sends the kernel or wahtever, and then yeah [22:13] sebsebseb: Can one have Win XP?

[22:14] sebsebseb: Then I guess it's not for me linux rukie. [22:14] xjam: for trying Ubuntu for a first time well, another option is to run it inside XP in a virtual machine, as long as your computer has enough RAM [22:14] samurai: in here you'll probably mostly find people who think it's great.. but ask in #ubuntu-offtopic for other oppinions [22:14] !release | freeatlast [22:14] freeatlast: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months.

[22:18] [22:18] svb: ok Pidgin then, or pm on here, and i'll tell you about good stuff to install [22:19] yes but it seems i have openjdk alongside it, which may mess things up [22:19] happyhessian: hmm.. if I were in your situation I would uninstall all the java packages and start over.. installing according to the guide and so on [22:19] Ingsoc: to try and figure it out, have you compared the listed third party sources with the listed keys under the authentication tab in the software sources?

Guided resize or entire disc? [22:20] Ingsoc: did that solve your problem? [22:21] i think so. Thanks for the help [22:21] xjam: normalley I would get people set up with a seperate home [22:21] Ingsoc: great. no problem. [22:21] xjam: ,but apparnatly those aren't needed as much anymore [22:21] xjam: guided will be ok [22:21] how do i change the default appearance for the "guest account"? changes made to the appearance within the guest account don't seem to stick between guest sessions. [22:21] hi [22:22] xjam: and no point setting up some fancyish partition set up, and then find you can't install [22:22] sebsebseb: Guided resize or guided use entire disc? [22:22] xjam: guided use entire disk will get rid of Windows [22:22] i get un supported input when login in with ubuntu intrepid...my card is nvidia.. [22:22] I have just one disc installed on PC. [22:22] xjam: so I guess you want guided resize [22:22] No Windows for now. [22:23] does anyone know how to fix "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode"? [22:23] xjam: hummmm maybe we should set you up with a partiiton set up [22:23] I needed to reformat the partition where I had grub installed, how do I reinstall grub [22:23] , and make sure it knows where to boot from [22:23] xjam: your not going to dual boot? it's going Ubuntu only? [22:23] sebsebseb: Yes for shure. [22:24] i can't get it to go away >:-( [22:24] hi... [22:24] have ideas on it..? [22:24] it keeps saying it needs to reconfigure my graphics settings and rebooting linux [22:24] xjam: a little pointless putting 8.10 on now, except as a tempory install, because 9.04 is released on April 23rd, and has Ext4 as an option for the file system. and the default Ext3 upgrades are only partial Ext4 suppourt [22:24] mgolisch, Picassotamus: found the reason: the directory you mentioned is not in the PATH... thx for the hints! [22:25] i've even tried reformating and reinstalling but it won't go away >:-( [22:25] xjam: I mean Ext3 can only get partial suppourt [22:25] is ext4 recommended now? has everyone agreed that it's not as bad as the reports said? [22:26] Slart: by the sounds of it most of the Ext4 issues are fixed or pretty much fixed [22:26] !e [22:26] Enlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version. [22:26] Slart: however Ext3 will remian the default for 9.04 [22:26] im trying to find out is there a way to find out what your ips a sucha re similar to ipconfig in windows [22:26] "pretty much" isnt good when talkin filesystems [22:26] sebsebseb: sounds nice.. I've got to go read up on it then.. see what new stuff there is to play with [22:26] <_Brun0_> Wow IceWM is that MUCH faster! Lol. Ridiculously faster. In trade for super simplicity =( [22:27] does anyone know why i'm being told that linux couldn't detect the graphics card settings on startup? [22:27] deany: indeed, but it's good enough for usage I think once 9.04 is out [22:27] botux1: ifconfig command? is that what you're looking for? [22:27] how do i install a i386 .deb onto an amd_64 arch? [22:27] mroc: yes thank you [22:27] xjam: ok yeah use guided, or I can tell you how to set up with a seperate home [22:27] ifconfig [22:27] oops lol [22:28] botux1: or right click on NetworkManager and choose connection information if you want it graphically [22:28] !home | xjam [22:28] xjam: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [22:28] Can anyone let me know how to reinstall just grub, and to make sure that the right partiion is marked for boot [22:28] does anyone know why i'd be having touble with the display configuration, and how to fix it?

[22:30] deany: what type of games? Linux games or not? [22:30] I dont want em on / [22:30] deany: Wine puts it's stuff in home by default [22:31] linux games [22:31] mroc: yeah, but wouldn't reformating/reinstalling fix it if it's not detecting correctly? [22:31] deany: and Linux programs hardly take up any space [22:31] yowshi: yup.. we just don't want to recommend people do it without really checking if it's available for the right architecture first [22:31] RedMushroom: probably not...if it didn't get detected properly the first time, why would it be different the second time? [22:31] sebsebseb: huh? what games are you playing? [22:31] I havent allocated much more than i need for /, programs no, they dont take much.. games however, do [22:31] mroc: because i'm probably doing it wrong :) [22:32] Quake Wars certainly used up a lot of space.. [22:32] what can I do to make Ubuntu more slim? [22:32] RedMushroom: what graphics card do you have?

[22:34] mroc: i can see my windows shares on my linux pc is it easy to setup ability to see my linux shares on my vista box [22:34] how do i make a network called eth1 [22:35] i can not hibernate anymore because there is this compcache swap using /dev/ramzswap0. How do i disable/remove this kind of swap? if i do a "swapoff /dev/ramzswap0" hibernation works but how do i remove this kind of swap for ever? [22:35] philipp: eth1 isn't a network. It could be the name the kernel assigns to a network card in your system. [22:35] botux1: yes, but you woudn't normalely want Windows to have access to the Linux partitions, after all, you get a virus on Windows let's say, and it could delete Linux's stuff [22:35] goldfish and how do i set such a name? [22:35] sebsebseb: ahhh makes sense [22:35] sebsebseb, huh? [22:35] but just in case i may need it wanted to know lol [22:35] sebsebseb: I actually have a 1TB disk where I put big stuff..

[22:36] is there a way from terminal or gparted to move grub [22:36] so i know wehre it is [22:36] and how can i just reinstall grub [22:36] Goldfisch, what if i install everything on my internal HD then i use the "Creat a usb start up disk" option? will that work? will this move my /boot and bootloader to usb?

[22:37] gregge: not that I know of.. you could always create one if you want to though [22:37] Nytrix: Hmm...haven't used the option myself. However, I usually test new installations a few times using vmware, to shake out the procedure. I wonder how to tie that into using a usb boot loading partition.

[22:38] safetynet: you can upgrade from one LTS to another LTS, but you can't upgrade to whatever version of Ubuntu you feel like, from whatever version of Ubuntu you felt like upgrading from [22:38] philipp: When the kernel boots, it usually finds all network devices. You can see what it found using "ifconfig -a". It gives a listing of known network devices. Check this against your existing hardware. You typically don't pick the names, instead the kernel modules do that. If any card is missing, you may need to figure out the right kernel module and have it loaded as well. [22:39] hi [22:39] SliderMan: you can do that in gparted [22:39] Slart: Ok, I don't have compiz activated particularly often though :/ [22:39] safetynet: and so as a result with non LTS releases you have to upgrade in order [22:39] I have installed ubunto , unfortunately I forget the password it possible to recovery the password without reinstall th system ?? === KingArthur is now known as Guest55230 [22:39] once you have compiz installed where is it lol [22:39] safetynet: and a LTS release can also be part of your upgrade process [22:39] k thnaks [22:39] flip, does it work for usb too? [22:39] mhilinski: hi [22:39] botux1: thanks for what? :) [22:39] Behappy: yes. Reboot into single-user mode and do 'passwd yourusername'. [22:39] philipp: I good example was the fact that in the past, motherboards with nVidia ethernet support weren't standard in the kernel, and required loading the forcedeth module to activate them. [22:40] SliderMan: unless your bios permits you to boot from usb you need a program to put onto a cd to boot it [22:40] Halp, I think I just borked the GDM [22:40] SliderMan: for further help on the subject join #flip [22:40] Guest55230, its in system > Preferences > Appearances, and you'll see extra effects setting [22:40] goldfish i have checked my lspci... one is missing [22:40] i just removed all my java and reinstalled [22:40] .bg [22:40] Guest55230, or you could install fusion-icon [22:40] will "Create a usb start up disk" move my /boot and bootloader to usb key? [22:40] Hi... program question... in Eye of Gnome, I see there is a plugin to expand image to full screen when double left clicked...

[22:41] Slart: for sun java what is the package for the firefox plugin [22:41] how can i change the default appearance of the "Guest account"??? nobody seems to have an answer for this. [22:41] I just plugged a 40GB external usb drive into my Ubuntu server and it shows the following [22:41] brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 1 2009-04-07 17:22 /dev/scd1 [22:41] Seriously, I think I just borked the GDM on this thing.

[22:41] and I can't mount it -- 'no medium found' error [22:41] Slart: Thanks, didn't know it was that easy :) [22:41] Hi i have a problem I installed ubuntu with the usb headset plugged, I plugged them out, when I plugged them in again the sound still outs by the integrated speakers, for some applications it outs for the headset, totem by the headsets and rhythmbox by the integrated speakers, what can I do?

I suggest googling the description along with "kernel module". [22:42] mroc I think the Guest account is cleared after each logout but I guess you could write a script or something to change it at login. [22:42] Slart, fdisk -l shows it's a 'Disk' [22:42] goldfish you got it [22:43] mrwes: nope.. fdisk -l doesn't show the cd for me neither [22:43] mrwes: are you sure that's not sdc? not scd [22:43] goldfish do you know how i make a allias? [22:43] icedtea was the one that jdk used but i don't know if sun has its own, i'll see what i can find [22:43] Ingsoc: yeah, it appears to exist only as a temporary thing, but it must draw on something to get the default settings, right? === flip is now known as psudo [22:43] mrwes, if you man fdisk it says how buggy it is at the bottom, maybe its a bug? :) [22:43] Slart, duh! no doubt brother!

[22:58] Picassotamus, Ah, pipe. Ok, I will read up on that. Im creating a script, but when I execute a command it kinda closes the script, so I have to restart the script again.

[23:23] sorry sebastien [23:23] meshuggah, get used to the "too much information" becuase you will be relearning how to use a computer [23:23] !ot [23:23] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:23] i mean no disrespect when i say this but, i really feel part of the problem with making ubuntu a front running contender to windows boils down to the philosphy [23:23] meshuggah: you could actsaully help people and such I know you can [23:23] otm: system - preferences - proxy [23:24] sebsebseb: yes i went there and still no dice [23:24] sebsebseb, ok sorry [23:24] meshuggah: seems the ops are gone and all right now, but stil no good reason to troll this channel for fun [23:24] lol [23:24] you are funny === mehteenager is now known as MrObvious [23:24] anyone needs help? [23:24] you only think they're gone [23:24] eseven73: yeah unless your one? === matt is now known as matt-afk [23:25] Hi guys. I've just installed Ubuntu and have enabled the restricted driver for my card (On board Nvidia Geforce 7100) - however I cannot make screen resolution bigger than 800x600. Can anyone give some advise please? [23:25] meshuggah: please stay on-topic [23:25] sebsebseb: still says unable to mount [23:25] jrib, sorry :( [23:25] no ops are not gone, I think jrib is one [23:25] meshuggah: why not be useful in here, instead of trolling it a bit for fun? I know you know stuff [23:25] sebsebseb, No Im not an op silly [23:25] good afternoon to all, i am looking for someone who can help extensively with ubuntu server setup [23:25] fosco_: Isn't that just a network proxy though :S (i've never really understood this) [23:25] if I've got a disk with a deleted partition and I use gparted to create a partition, will that erase the data? [23:25] sebsebseb, it is what iam saying, if people need help, me will help if i can [23:26] sebblucas, join #ubuntu-server [23:26] thanks you titan8990 [23:26] sebblucas, but you are not going to find someone to config your server for you [23:26] m1dn1ght, sometimes if you fiddle with the settings for a while and/or change frequencies, it will show more options. [23:26] sebblucas, if you don't know anything about UNIX CLI administration, a linux server is probably not the best choice [23:26] has anyone used /dev/audio or /dev/dsp to record? [23:26] meshuggah: ok [23:27] CrawfordComeaux, erase the data in the deleted partition? [23:27] anyone else wanna take a stab at helping me with samba [23:27] sorry...crappy question. a partition was deleted and I'm trying to recover the files in it. if I create a partition using gparted, will that delete the files I'm trying to grab? [23:27] CrawfordComeaux: you should run testdisk before creating a new partition [23:27] botux1, what is wrong? [23:27] nejode: ok [23:27] CrawfordComeaux, yeah [23:28] that's installing right now [23:28] does "mount" show swap spaces? [23:28] jdu: well i can see my vista pc on the network but cant access it it keeps saying unable to mount [23:28] Matson: no, use free to view swap [23:28] Matson: nope [23:29] how do I tell if swap is mounting correctly at startup? [23:29] Matson: free -m === tk is now known as tk|away [23:29] botux1, I don't think I can help with it then. I have only ever done accessing samba on ubuntu from windows [23:29] Matson, swapon untility [23:29] swapon -s [23:30] so if free lists it there, then it is using it if it needs it / mounting correctly? [23:30] jdu: im trying to be able to access samba from my windows box as well [23:30] hey guys i have a Atheros A242X and running ubuntu 8.10 I can have installed the drivers before(madwifi) and they work but they don't work all the time they only work about 1/2 the time [23:30] jd: i cant see my ubuntu shares on my vista box at all [23:30] is there a channel for jaunty? [23:30] jdu: rather [23:31] Matson: yes [23:31] Jerky_, #ubuntu+1 [23:31] thanks [23:31] i have two files.....file1 was modified with a lot of changes to form file2 ...now i want to compare them and discard the similar areas and only keep the changes for file3...how do i do that...sdiff..diff..diff3 what should i use and what switches [23:32] botux1, you might need to fix something in /etc/samba/smb.conf [23:32] jdu: im in the gui editor now tryig to figure it out an its like greek to me lol [23:32] ybeddyj: diff -Nurp [23:32] ybeddyj: i mean there are a lot of ways... [23:32] botux1, personally, nfs is much better. doesn't work with windows though [23:33] thx jrib [23:33] botux1, for information: man smb.conf [23:33] ii'm gonna try that now [23:33] if I want to extract a file to usr/local/bin how would i do this through terminal (since it doesn't allow me to drag and drop it) [23:34] otm: what are you doing exactly? [23:34] otm, you have to be very careful about what you add to things that are in default $PATH [23:34] otm, once it is extracted: sudo cp file /usr/local/bin [23:36] hmm, i'll probably not do it then [23:38] jrib itstill list the similar areas ...how do i omit the similarities [23:38] !samba [23:38] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [23:38] ybeddyj: right, the options i gave you give context. Read what the options do in the man page [23:39] Well, now that GDM is up and running again, I just need to be able to log in [23:41] ybeddyj: is there a reason you don't want context though? I find diffs pretty useless without it [23:42] When I log in I get this error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/146524/ [23:42] can a Wacom send XInput events but not control the mouse cursor? [23:42] hey my system does not support usb boot.. but i have grub installed on the mbr.. is there anyway i can have grub load grub config from the usb stick? [23:43] i just tried installing lamp server using "sudo tasksel install lamp-server" and i got this error: tasksel: aptitude failed (128), it wont let me start the install again either, anyone know how to fix this ? [23:44] a1fa: Yes, I don't know *how* but there should be some howto's out there... [23:44] I tried dropping into recovery mode and fixing xserver, but no such luck [23:44] im confused [23:46] can somebody PLEASE help me w/ an issue i'm having with my graphics configuration? [23:47] the stupid thing keeps saying that it can't detect the configuration settings, asking me to reset them, and then rebooting and doing the same thing. i've even tried reinstalling and it still does it [23:47] it's driving me nuts because it won't go away, and when i load the live CD I don't have the issue with isolinux [23:48] A fixed GDM doesnt do me much good unless I can actually log in, so I really need some help [23:49] hi [23:49] hi [23:49] i've a problem when i try to intall ubuntu on an old amd athlon 600mhz [23:49] what kind of boot params i've to do?

[23:51] then i've to use 8.04?

[23:52] ok [23:53] virtx: why Slackware to Ubuntu? you made it sound like you were quite experienced with Slackware, so it does not make sense [23:53] sebsebseb, because i want a good package manager :) [23:54] i'm downloading 8.04.2 [23:54] it's ok with old pc?
