[00:00] i try with noapic and acpi off [00:00] quick question, synaptic is saying i have 3 updates for kernel headers 2.6.27.11 but I'm using latest, 2.6.27.14. Can I uninstall the 2.6.27.11 and not screw my system up, so I don't get those upgrade messages? Is that the way to do it? [00:00] how can i uninstall a package without removing its dependencies? [00:00] Geoffrey2: You could use a sermon from Stallman :) [00:00] virtx: yes later versions of Ubuntu, may not work well on your machine [00:00] that is why i'm downloading 8.04.2 [00:01] Jordan_U_, you there? [00:01] Ienorand: maybe we can arrange a Richard Stallman visit for that guy :) [00:01] GodfatherofEir1, Yes [00:01] <[4-tea-2]> eross: you can, but you lose the option to start with that older kernel from grub in case something with your default kernel goes awry. [00:01] virtx: is this an older motherboard or newer ... in the last couple years.. does it have the gforce 8200 chipset? [00:01] another note on top of little to no antivirus required for basic desktop install, the linux filesystem does not need to be defragged. [00:01] Any ideas as to how to fix that? [00:02] sebsebseb, trust me, I understand the philosophy behind open source.....but if the open source option is simply too "alpha" to be usable, I'm not going to keep fighting with it til it's actually ready for widespread use [00:02] i haven't gone backwards in two years :P [00:02] Geoffrey2: oh my you called it open source, Richard Stallman would not be happy [00:02] GodfatherofEir1: how to fix what? [00:02] GodfatherofEir1, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [00:02] <[4-tea-2]> eross: according to Murphy, the first time you will have to, will be when you can't. [00:02] Geoffrey2: in fact, in the article the bot says, it even has the bit on Open source [00:02] Geoffrey2: open source and free software are not the same thing [00:02] sebsebseb, i am waiting your answer [00:02] histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/146524/ [00:02] virtx: you might try to add msi=nopci on the kernel line when booting. [00:02] Geoffrey2: similar, but not the same thing [00:02] hwilde, tried that [00:02] GodfatherofEir1: when are you getting that? [00:03] guess i'll just upgrade, thanks for the sensibility lesson 4-tea-2 [00:03] histo: on login [00:03] virtx: sorry.. pci=nomsi [00:03] GodfatherofEir1: there permissions of /tmp changed [00:04] whats the best way to set up my slave drive with unbuntu i tired installing unbuntu on it so it can serve as a backup and i can use it as a slave, but its coming up always as primary when i boot [00:04] histo: so how should I fix that? [00:04] scunizi, msi? [00:04] GodfatherofEir1, Just as a test try to run "touch /tmp/test"( to see if for instance / is being mounted read only ) [00:04] GodfatherofEir1: let me check something real quick [00:04] Although Ubuntu is probably not the most un-hypocritical distro when it comes to *true* freedom [00:04] GodfatherofEir1: sudo chmod 777 /tmp [00:04] Burntresistor: that is something that is controlled by bios/hardware nothing any OS can controll [00:04] where can i check information about processor and ram etc. like in windows we right click my computer> properties. [00:05] sebsebseb, the word "free" generally gets tossed around here too much, with entirely too many differing meanings.... [00:05] histo: thanks a million [00:05] GodfatherofEir1: np [00:05] jumper settings are right can i got into unbuntu bios and change settings [00:05] Burntresistor: ubuntu doens't have a bios [00:05] I put a script in rcS.d that doesn't end. How can I use my machine now? === Jordan_U_ is now known as Jordan_U [00:05] And now to get the driver for my wireless workin, then aircrack runnin.... [00:05] virtx: yep.. pci=nomsi.. not sure why it works but it does on my machine.. [00:06] Geoffrey2: indeed and that's half the problem with the word. ,but free software as in libre software, and so as in freedom [00:06] Geoffrey2: not free as in price [00:06] The work never ends does it [00:06] Burntresistor: you need to set one drive as master and one as slave. [00:06] Burntresistor: or you can use cable select and put both drives on the same cable. [00:06] the one i want to be the slave is ide the master is a sata [00:06] Burntresistor, ubuntu bios? [00:07] Geoffrey2: check out the articles on http://www.gnu.org philopshey in about free software and that. good reads :) [00:07] Burntresistor, ubuntu dony have bios, winshit doesnt have too, only your motherboard has [00:07] i cant find the installed wine applications in the gnome main menu. when i dir to home, [00:07] anyone know how to unban yourself from denyhosts? i removed the entry from /etc/hosts.deny, but denyhosts just re-insers it when I restart the service [00:07] GodfatherofEir1, WHat chipset? [00:08] Jordan_U, RTL8185L [00:08] sebsebseb, I think my point was missed though....however you want to define free, if the software doesn't work, it doesn't work.... [00:08] and of course I stop the service before I remove the ip from /etc/hosts.deny [00:08] scunizi, ok i'll try it's an nvidia with 8mb of memory [00:08] !work | Geoffrey2 [00:08] Well, working with the linux drivers for it anyway, as opposed to ndiswrapper, which aircrack cant work with [00:08] Geoffrey2: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [00:08] i know i misspoke i know where my bios is located i just want to know if its still accessible to change settings or im going about this wrong [00:09] Burntresistor, it is always accesible [00:09] Burntresistor, unless you screw up things [00:09] badly [00:09] can some one help me turn on my wirless network addapter [00:11] i was given an ipod touch... if I connect it to rhythmbox, will it sync and erase all the music on the ipod? [00:11] I was looking at putting the GRUB boot loader on a floppy... is there any reason that it shouldn't work on a usb key? [00:11] can some one help me turn on my wirless network addapter [00:11] alsamixer won't take my volume above db gain=0.00 with master at 100%. (which means i can only turn sound down, not up). help!? [00:12] i have snd-hda-intel [00:12] salut [00:12] will it just work as a formated slave as storage nstead of having its own copy of linux on it so it can boot , would that be a better solution === Nooster is now known as hippos [00:13] hi all [00:13] hippos, hi [00:13] Burn, was that to me? [00:13] i'm trying to fix sound output on a friend's LG laptop [00:13] hey meshuggah [00:13] metal fan eh? [00:13] Burntresistor, what are you trying to do? [00:14] maybe [00:14] yes [00:14] :) [00:14] lol [00:14] I think it was =P [00:14] when they updated from 8.10 to a higher version, it broke sound output [00:14] my goal is to have this 120gb drive as a slave to my master so i can more storage [00:14] i followed a tutorial where i manually reinstalled all the sound libs and so on [00:14] nvm. problem was a modestly set front channel [00:14] like i did on windows [00:14] Oh, nope, not to me =P [00:14] on the ubuntu forums [00:14] Burntresistor, put the damn jumper [00:14] Sounded like it though rofl, it was a good idea ;) [00:14] does anyone here have any ideas? [00:14] i took out the jumper cause thats what the settings required [00:15] all off means no jumper [00:15] Burntresistor, slave on 120gb [00:15] master on the other [00:15] and after, mount the slave [00:15] he has sata on one, and wants the ide as a slave [00:15] Burn, are they sata? pata? what? [00:15] right? [00:16] one is sata the other is ide [00:16] i was given an ipod touch... if I connect it to rhythmbox, will it sync and erase all the music on the ipod? [00:16] Which is sata? master or slave? [00:16] master [00:16] hello, I'm updating everything, and during the updating I get a message saying I have an obsolete driver. However, it says to install the same driver I already have installed. I put it in a pastebin here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/146537/ [00:16] Anybody have experience with installing the RTL8185L linux drivers [00:16] Hm, does anyone know much about modifying inputs with xorg.conf? [00:16] can someone help me get rid of this annoying message that always pops up [00:16] hajmola, doubtful [00:16] ? [00:16] Have you tried making the sata boot first in BIOS? [00:17] deany, thanks [00:17] hajmola, things just aint that developed yet. just use virtualbox and an xp install...best be safe. === awway is now known as lukinfore [00:17] i know ipod phones aint supported yet.. [00:17] boot first then add the second ? [00:17] so basically my question is, sound broke after update, what should i do? [00:18] i guess iphones aren't supported yet either :/ funny thing, i sent them several emails and not heard one reply back about it [00:18] is it secure to trust that after activating "allow only encrypted connection" in my remote desktop setting, connections to my vnc server are always encrypted? how is this done? [00:18] Ok, maybe I didn't understand your question... what isn't working Burn [00:18] Does anyone here use Blender? [00:18] what isnt working for some reason my computer has the slave set as master and it isnt the jumper settings [00:18] freeman - I do, they have a #blender channel if it's application related [00:19] Well, it's not necessarily related [00:19] Burnt - you try the #hardware channel yet? [00:19] How can I pipe directory files to a script? cat * - | script [00:19] Flash wont work in firefox after upgrading to jaunty, even with plugins installed, is tehre a fix yet [00:19] ? [00:19] I use a wireless mouse that has a mousewheel tilt function [00:19] Look in your BIOS and make sure to set it so it checks your sata before ide, most are set up to check sata first [00:19] mean [00:20] Look in your BIOS and make sure to set it so it checks your sata before ide, most are set up to check ide first [00:20] Guiri man xargs [00:20] And it breaks the rotation in it, and I was wondering how to disable the mouse buttons 6 and 7 [00:20] hello [00:20] is it possible to specify a default port to ssh to in the ~/.ssh/config file? [00:20] no but i will, im going to try to look in bios like it has been suggested ty for the help [00:20] wheres the dude i was helping [00:20] I'm thinking of buying a Netbook and putting a text-only Ubuntu or Debian on it. I understand that on a 7-inch screen, the tty sessions would be super-small. Is there a way to increase the text size, or am I screwed? [00:20] hello, I'm updating everything, and during the updating I get a message saying I have an obsolete driver. However, it says to install the same driver I already have installed. I put it in a pastebin here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/146537/ Does anyone know how to keep this annoying message from popping up? [00:21] sententious: magnifying glass? ;p [00:21] Singer: you can set your port on /etc/ssh/sshd_config [00:21] jds: Did you just try running it to see what happens? [00:21] jdsbluedevl, did you try running the command it says? [00:21] lol [00:21] filo1234: you missed my question [00:21] yes. I have it installed already [00:22] filo1234: I want to ssh to this box to port XXX (XXX <=> 22) [00:22] But even though it says that, did you still try to reinstall it? [00:22] jdsbluedevl, using that exact command after you recieved the error message? [00:22] so everything I go ssh blah@blah.com -pXXX [00:22] there really is no error in the system, just really annoying [00:22] Did you try just running that command? [00:22] is it possible to put something in my local ~/.ssh/config so that it goes by default to port XXX when I ssh to host blah? [00:22] Singer: oh ok i understand now ;) [00:22] well, I used aptitude instead [00:22] Singer: funny, funny. I'm told there is something I can edit in the grub menu.lst file or something, but i'm not sure. Perhaps a vga setting? Do you know? [00:22] Anyone know how to get audacious player info to show in conky? I read somewhere I have to compile it but don't know how to do that. [00:22] I have some hidden files on my desktop. How can I unhide the file so that it's visible? [00:22] freeman - dont know about your mouse buttons [00:23] ctrl + h Droopsta915 [00:23] Woah? dum, you serious? [00:23] ryan__, yes [00:23] Are you meaning just on the desktop you can do that? [00:23] lolz [00:23] Or in file browser? [00:23] in the file browser [00:23] for some reason any time I scroll anything, xorg freaks out and uses an inordinate amount of cpu. top shows it going up to 101% if i scroll up and down fast enough. I'm runnin a T60p with an ati V5200. I get the same symptoms with and without compiz and with both the open and proprietary drivers. Help!!! [00:24] Oh, ok, I knew that part =P I thought you were saying on the desktop =P I was like awesome [00:24] So, anybody got any experience with the RTL8185L chipset? [00:24] hey i got a couple questions for my headless server [00:24] dumbumz: thanks, I learn something new everyday with Ubuntu. [00:24] Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to auto start a terminal program each time I login and for it not to close. Would I want to put that in .bash_profile or .bashrc ? Or would that just open it up each terminal tab and create an issue ? [00:25] hey i got a couple questions for my headless server [00:25] it should be ok in bash_profile, but you might want to add & to make it go into the background [00:25] !anyone | tbird02 [00:25] tbird02: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:25] leagris: Thanks. I'm using find /media/ExternalHD/Movies | xargs /bin/riff currently. Any tips? Seems to find everything instead of just the .avis [00:25] Anyone know how to get audacious player info to show in conky? I read somewhere I have to compile it but don't know how to do that. [00:25] Titan8990: only difference between message and what I did was I used aptitude rather than apt-get [00:25] ubottu: habit.. [00:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about habit.. [00:26] do i need to install anything but a SSH server and VNC server on my headless server? [00:26] jdsbluedevl, that shouldn't matter since aptitude calls apt-get [00:26] tbird02: why VNC? [00:26] tbird02, VNC??? [00:26] a gui backup...i'm a noob [00:26] BigMoopies: system>>Preferences>>Session. Just add you're program/script [00:26] tbird02, it should have no GUI [00:26] right, so yeah, I did what it said [00:26] no, that's all you need [00:26] why not? [00:27] is there a linux program resembling quickbooks with Ubuntu? [00:27] for me, its SSH + Puppet [00:27] ezzieyguywuf, would I be able to actually see it and it stay open ? [00:27] I <3 Puppet [00:27] bunjee, not really. theres homebank which is ok, but theyre all pretty primitive really [00:27] tbird02, because its absolutely worthless to a server and takes away from your valuable server resources [00:27] http://homebank.free.fr/index.php?id=4 [00:27] what can i use for boot options from the live cd? is there a way to boot into a terminal from the live cd? [00:28] what if i dont use the GUI and just stick with the CLI? [00:28] Titan8990: VNC Server (unused) is pretty light [00:28] tbird02, not to mention insecurities in VNC [00:28] gMoopies: if it has a GUI then you will see it, and it will stay open until the program terminates or you exit it [00:28] Singer, but xserver-xorg, in general, is not [00:28] Titan8990: true.. [00:28] homebank in add/remove programs? [00:28] Hi all. [00:28] there are some cases where I install xserver.. [00:29] I was wondering how I would view all processes running in top? For instance scrolling down? [00:29] get htop [00:29] tbird02, as far GUI administration, you should use web tools such as webmin, phpmyadmin, and phpsysinfo [00:29] where I work, all backend servers get xserver + vnc but its not enabled by default [00:29] carpii__: ok. thanks. [00:29] tbird02, but then again, I have no idea what you plan to use this server for [00:29] for some reason any time I scroll anything, xorg freaks out and uses an inordinate amount of cpu. top shows it going up to 101% if i scroll up and down fast enough. I'm runnin a T60p with an ati V5200. I get the same symptoms with and without compiz and with both the open and proprietary drivers. Help!!! [00:29] tbird02: oracle? [00:30] just a backup fileserver, maybe some torrents [00:30] whats the gnome file browser? im messing around with it, and i need to start it from cli [00:30] how can i use the live cd to boot into a terminal? [00:30] stealth-, try nautilus [00:30] tbird02, you don't need a server for that [00:30] stealth-: I believe its metacity [00:30] carpii__ how does this install again? [00:31] tbird02, unless its a fileserver for a large number of clients [00:31] stealth-: ah no its nautilus [00:31] how do i turn off the sticky keys [00:31] sudo apt-get install htop [00:31] tbird02, if its your home personal file server, might as well just use one of your desktops [00:31] RedMushroom: you can boot the cd normally, then press ctrl+alt+F1, or you could get into one by running the terminal app [00:31] Guiri find /media/ExternalHD/Movies -type f -iname "*.avi" | xargs /bin/riff [00:31] carpii__: thanks [00:31] well whats wrong with using SSH for the fileserver? [00:31] tbird02, but, if its also to learn how to manage a headless linux server, stick with it [00:32] what is "hardy" mean [00:32] !hardy | matson [00:32] matson: Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [00:32] tbird02, ssh is secure but slow, you just need to weigh speed vs encyption [00:32] Im running Hardy... [00:32] :) [00:32] tbird02, I used webdav for my home file sharing, scp when I need something in a hurry [00:32] stealth-: ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing [00:32] tbird02, ftp and NFS are also good choices === linxeh_ is now known as linxeh [00:33] its a proven fact that SCP/SSH is slow [00:33] RedMushroom: in the live cd? try other ctrl+alt+Fsomethings [00:33] tbird02, but again, if you are going accross the internet, ssh security ftw [00:33] the Ubuntu installer should tell the person what the name of the install they are installing [00:33] and i have to boot into a terminal. my desktop is fubar and not working [00:33] if it did, it was not obvious enough, I just did it 6 times in a row [00:33] tbird02, rsync does wonders [00:33] stealth-: yeah, live cd. ok, trying [00:33] well i set up ftp already. thats what i use to transfer files but trying to learn ssh [00:33] Singer, yeah, encyption adds quite a overhead [00:33] anyone looking forward to jaunty? [00:33] tbird02, imo ssh is easier than ftp, but learning is always good :) [00:33] leagris: Thanks. That's pretty close to what I was using. /bin/riff is actually vlc transcoding, set to us $1. I think that's where my error's coming from right? The $1? [00:33] mememe! [00:33] galvanize: already got ;) [00:34] ActionParsnip: not final release correct? [00:34] stealth-: tried it, nothing for ctrl+alt+f1 - f12 [00:34] galvanize: correct [00:34] galvanize, I've got it installed on a desktop and my two lappies. Thinking about hacking it onto my daughter's Eee [00:34] NFS should be avoided on the wide internet [00:34] tbird02, ftp servers require configuration but ssh only requires sudo apt-get install ssh-server [00:34] galvanize: using it! [00:34] tbird02, unless you want public key auth [00:34] ActionParsnip: Had it too. Then decided to revert back to Intrepid. Found it to be little buggy. [00:34] Anyone know how to get audacious player info to show in conky? I read somewhere I have to compile it but don't know how to do that. [00:34] Titan8990: SSH/SCP isn't orptimized for large file transfers.. [00:35] what is the default MTA for ubuntu? [00:35] I was using exim4 on debian [00:35] let me take that back. i'm using the ssh server, using winscp on my windows box to transfer files. [00:35] galvanize: runs perfect here, not had an issue personally [00:35] how do i set up ftp? [00:35] Matson, exim4 for debian postfix for ubuntu [00:35] but looks like postfix and exim4 are available on ubuntu [00:35] RedMushroom: hm... well i suppose you might be able to stop the X server, which should drop you to a terminal, but it would be easier to do whatever you need to do from a GUI terminal... [00:35] Matson, either will work [00:35] ActionParsnip: Good to hear. I had minor bugs with wine in jaunty. [00:35] Matson, if you already know exim4, i recommend sticking to it [00:35] Titan8990: sure, but I want to go with whatever most people are using [00:35] Guiri you could debug using a vanilla script that just dump its parameter [00:35] Will be downloading final release though :) [00:35] Titan8990: I've done all of em [00:35] Matson, why is that even a factor? [00:35] stealth-: how might i try that? [00:36] Dang. I was following along until there. [00:36] RedMushroom: killing the X server? Or using a GUI terminal? [00:36] more support, other people working to solve current issues [00:36] galvanize: did you use the wine off the wine repos? [00:36] galvanize, I'm mostly using just the base system, with xfce4 installed (not xubuntu). The For the ubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop machines, I'm waiting for stable. [00:36] galvanize, But I had to have XFCE 4.6, so I upgraded early! [00:36] tbird02: sudo apt-get install proftpd [00:36] anything that'll let me boot to a "terminal" or text based interface off the ubuntu live cd [00:36] Matson, I have add good experience with the exim4 mailing list.... [00:36] ActionParsnip: Yes, I was. [00:36] tbird02: default settings will default users to their home dir [00:37] galvanize: ok cool [00:37] ActionParsnip: Besides that minor bug, I was loving Jaunty. [00:37] Matson, but anyways... postfix would be more popular in ubuntu because it is easier... many to most ubuntu users are new to linux [00:37] is there a software to break captcha? [00:37] k what do i use to connect to it [00:37] tbird02, ? [00:38] ActionParsnip: Actually can't wait for Koala, rumors of a new colour is very good!@ [00:38] RedMushroom: well there is a program that comes on all installs, and should definately be in on the live cd. Basically its a terminal that runs as a window. In gnome, its located at: Applications --> Accessories --> terminal [00:38] will winscp work? [00:38] tbird02: any ftp client, windows you can use filezilla or command line, linux has a vast array of clients [00:38] tbird02, if you are using fail windows [00:38] fail windows? [00:38] can anyone tell me how to boot to a text based interface from the ubuntu live cd? [00:38] tbird02, yes, windows = fail [00:38] oh [00:38] tbird02, the two words are synonymous [00:39] haha i see [00:39] * RedMushroom facepalms at Titan8990 [00:39] RedMushroom: I still dont understand why you need to... [00:39] so i can transfer files using winscp. is that ftp or ssh [00:39] can some one please help me with session [00:39] Anybody have any experience with the RTL8185L chipset? [00:39] tbird02, ssh (scp, sftp) [00:40] if my HD is encrypted i am guessing i can't update my /boot bootloader through livecd? [00:40] tbird02, you will likely not see transfer speeds greater than 3mb/s over ssh [00:40] so i can boot windows [00:40] i dont mind that. its wireless anyway [00:40] Anyone know how to get audacious player info to show in conky? I read somewhere I have to compile it but don't know how to do that. [00:40] will Ubuntu auto detect a Nvidia 9800GTX+ 512MB? [00:40] tbird02: grab filezilla and it can connect to the ftp server [00:40] tbird02, I have pulled 15mb/s on the same network using http.... [00:40] dumdumz: no idea sorry mate [00:40] hmm ok. is that faster? [00:40] stealth-: because i need to run the dd command on the hdd to reformat the bugger because it's got something messed up on it that won't allow the computer to boot properly from the hdd. it's an issue w/ a config file [00:40] and i need to wipe and reinstall [00:40] is it as secure? [00:41] will Ubuntu auto detect a Nvidia 9800GTX+ 512MB? [00:41] tony it should. I had a 7800GTX 250Mb [00:41] tbird02, if you run it over ssl, but that will likely slow the speed [00:41] is there a tool to sort human-readable disk sizes like output by du -h? [00:41] leagris: ok thans.. then what do I do to test it? [00:41] RedMushroom: that can be done from the GUI terminal... The GUI terminal is the same as the normal terminal just inside a GUI window [00:41] Matson, like how? [00:41] tony go to system>administration>hardware drives to check [00:42] stealth-: i can't get to the GUI because the GUI is the part that's messed up [00:42] RedMushroom: you can delete splash quiet option on kernel line and add single [00:42] RedMushroom: the gui on the live cd [00:42] hmm. okay let me get filezilla [00:42] filo1234, it will still auto-start gdm [00:42] whats puppet btw? [00:42] Titan8990: no i have tryed now [00:42] RedMushroom: but you should be able to kill the xserver in the live cd with this command: gksudo "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" [00:42] stealth-: when i try to load that it pulls info off the hdd and presents the same issu [00:42] After trying to modify the E17 menu, my system-wide xdg menu got messed up, is there a way to regenerate the default XDG menu?

[00:43] Titan8990: sort them by size [00:43] RedMushroom: ah! I see your issue now, if you cant even get into the livecd, try filo1234's method [00:43] 4.0K, 48K 3M 3.5G etc [00:43] RedMushroom: you can delete splash quiet option on kernel line and add single === ubuntu is now known as ubuntu2 [00:43] Matson, you could use a bash script, not sure if someone has already released a utility to do it === ubuntu2 is now known as ubuntu2234234 [00:43] ubuntu what will "hardware drives to check" do? [00:43] what's kernel line? [00:44] and you can choice root [00:44] whats puppet btw?

[00:48] jrib: file manager? yes [00:48] stealth-: no. The file [00:48] leagris: I settled on find /media/ExternalHD/Movies -type f -iname "*.avi" -print0 | xargs -0 /bin/riff . One last question: Any way to make the script repeat after the movie finishes and also randomize the find so it doesn't find the same thing each time? [00:48] jrib: it was actually a directory, so no [00:49] traskbt, Do you want to set your panels completely back to defaults or do you just want to re-add "Applications" ? [00:49] Anybody have any experience with the RTL8185L chipset? [00:49] Jordan_U, just re-add applications (and get them set up structurally like they are in a fresh install), resetting panels is okay too if that has to be done [00:49] is there an equivalent of rcconf on ubuntu? [00:50] stealth-: then no, there's no other way [00:50] RedMushroom: with this option you boot on recovery mode === jean is now known as Guest87064 [00:50] jrib: that sucks, okay, thanks anyways [00:50] rcconf lists all the rc.d init scripts and manages the symlinks to start and stop services at bootup [00:50] sebsebseb, is there a utility out there that can locate any files/programs on your computer that is not "Free Software"? [00:50] GodfatherofEire, It *should* work out of the box on intrepid [00:50] stealth-: it's not in the trash right? [00:50] Tried out 8.10. [00:50] Jordan_U, yeah, it does, partly, but with poor signal quality [00:50] Still not seeing the wire. [00:51] does filezilla do network transfers? I cant see a networked comptuer.

[00:52] jrib: its all good, it was just a screensaver file. If I like the look of the other colors, ill go find the one i deleted again, thanks [00:52] Jordan_U, Have I? No, but I have noticed em [00:52] Guiri I can"t find a program like sort but to randomize the order. You could try to generate a m3u playlist and asks vlc to play it randomly [00:52] initclt, rcconf, chkconfig - which is ubuntu standard? [00:52] traskbt, To get the main menu pack just right click the pannel > Add to pannel > main menu [00:53] I think it's a motherboard thing. [00:53] leagris: excellent idea. Can use find to create and output to a text file? [00:53] from what I understand, that's all an m3u is, right? [00:53] Jordan_U, I have the menu icon, I mean I want to regenerate the xdg MENU itself (the applications and sub-menus of the main GNOME menu) [00:53] Guiri any shell command can output to whatever if you gives a redirector >file [00:53] Jordan_U, the file is /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu and mine isn't what I would like it to be. [00:55] Guiri you can reformat the output using awk to match a playlist [00:55] leagris: Thanks much for your patience. Trying that now === dj801` is now known as dj801 === VE2EBP is now known as ve2rwg [00:55] leagris: Output doesn't seem to have line breaks, oddly enough [00:56] why are there red lines that cross my chat window??

[00:57] tbird02, lots of GUI IRC clients show lines across showing you where you moved the mouse away from the window, so it's easier to see what you have read and haven't read [00:57] traskbt, Have you tried running sudo update-menus or renaming the old configuration file then running update-menus ? [00:57] Jordan_U, both [00:58] @traskbt: wow, that's cool, thanks for the tip. It would've bugged me too until I figured it out [00:58] oic,. [00:58] WindmillObsessed, you're welcome? What did I do? [00:59] traskbt, Are you sure that the problem is with the system wide config file and not your user's ? [00:59] hi !!!

When I use jockey-gtk, and select to 'Activate' the ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver, the 'Downloading and installing' bar pops up for a moment, then immediately disappears- with no effect. [01:00] WindmillObsessed, oh, okay [01:00] This is for Ubuntu 8.10 [01:00] I don't know what else I can do. [01:00] what about torrentflux === adsgfsdg is now known as flip [01:00] It doesn't work in 9.04, and not in 8.10 [01:00] flip can i get some help with an out of range error [01:00] where is the jdk put during installation from apt-get?

I have got a connection light on it but its not showing up when I do a ifconfig. What do I have to do to install it or enable it? [01:05] Jordan_U, I have multiple computers, but I do need Windows and Ubuntu on one machine (it's my best one, and the only one that will play LOTRO on Windows ;]) [01:05] hi, how do i expand a partition in gparted? [01:05] I'm out of things to try, any ideas? [01:05] I'm still pretty new. [01:05] Giotrader: is right, raid 0 = 2 drive like one [01:05] traskbt, So is the problem with the file that you made a modification that you now don't want? If the problem is with a modification you made then update-menus should fix it. [01:06] Jordan_U, it should, but it doesn't [01:06] Jordan_U, it doesn't actually change the file at all.

[01:10] about how long does it take the dd command to finish erasing a drive? [01:11] where is the jdk put during installation from apt-get? [01:11] Jordan_U, yeah, it's populated with stuff, but it doesn't look like an xdg menu [01:11] Sohma, Look for software in Applications > Add / Remove and check System > Administration > Hardware Drivers for your card ( you may need to do some work if there is nothing there and your card still does not show up in network-manager ) [01:12] what is the bot called?

[01:13] ty [01:13] Its designed for RedHat I believe, and well... yeah. === tk|away is now known as tk [01:14] RedMushroom, depends on the size of the drive and if you're overwriting it with /dev/zero or /dev/random [01:14] how the Add/Remove Programs applet is actually called?

Though I can't send without being block for multiple reason (one being a missing reverse DNS). So, I'd like to use a SMTP server with Auth and force postfix to send mail through that smtp server. I've look on google and on the wiki but doesn't looks like I have what I need there. :( [01:20] solexious|netbk: does it show up in ifconfig -a? [01:21] Whats the channel for the Jaunty channel?

The config for GMail is in http://files.tonyyarusso.com/postfix_config_gmail.tar.gz [01:23] tonyyarusso, yes as eth2 [01:23] Nvidia just released new drivers for ubuntu that appeared in my update list. How do i find out information on what the changes are? Been waiting for twinview without x restart for ages [01:23] solexious|netbk: You'll need to assign it an IP address and netmask then. The ifconfig man page will tell you how. === kevin_ is now known as uvacav [01:24] tonyyarusso: Thanks, this might take me a while to apply though :) [01:24] tonyyarusso, do you know how to set it up to look for a dhcp server?

[01:28] hey guys, i've got a question. i'm currently fiddling with a separate x-screen for an emulation setup (fullscreen emulation on one screen while having the normal desktop on the other), and wanted to know if it would be possible to somehow "lock" my gamepad to one of both x-sessions. at the moment, the time i focus the "desktop" session with the mouse (e.g. do something in it), the gamepad ceases to work on the other screen, which of course is no [01:28] t desirable in my kind of setup. is there any way to change this behaviour? thanks in advance :) [01:28] How do I determine why update-manager wants me to restart?

[01:34] I've already tried #pulseaudio and #bluez (and #bluez-users) so i'll ask you guys: [01:34] sorry for what may seem a little silly, but hopefully a easily solved question. I have an older desktop sitting beside my desk that i would like to use as a media server(ubuntu 8.10) and would like to know if it is possible to connect to it using vnc over an ethernet cable from my win xp desktop [01:34] Having an odd problem with Ubuntu 8.04 that I haven't seen before. The main hard drive(the 4 hard drives in the raid are fine), is showing as 74GB total(which is correct), 74GB in use(should not be this) and 30GB free(sounds right, though conflicts with used space). This is causing me to be unable to install updates or run some services(intermitent X issues and MySQL won't start.) I've already run a full fsck it completed [01:34] anyone good wiht samba?

[03:55] What can you do if ubuntu doesn't find hardware? like it's not in the hardware drivers program [03:55] coppro: well Iam now booted into the kernel that wireless works in ... so its not going to help any .. hehe [03:56] Im_Toast: hardware drivers doesn't list all your hardware [03:56] I mean like propriatary that doesn't show up there [03:56] what do you do? [03:56] coppro : \2.6.24-22-generic Atheros wifi works fine --- 2.6.24-23-generic Atheros wifi no go! [03:57] zetheroo: well, there could be any number of reasons why not - it's important to diagnose why exactl [03:57] timevault [03:57] coppro: give me one reason? ... [03:58] zetheroo: because it could be a driver problem or a userland software problem, for starters [03:58] coppro: why all of a sudden with this particular kernal update? [03:59] zetheroo: it would tend to suggest a driver issue [03:59] http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Ubuntu/2009-02/msg00250.html [03:59] here is someone else having the exact same issue [03:59] but it could be a problem with networkmanager [03:59] it generally doesn't work [03:59] (for instance, my card refuses to work under networkmanager, but will do fine manually) [04:00] Hey does anyone know how to piggyback ubuntu off an iphone3g? [04:00] hi [04:00] hola [04:01] Hey, is there an app out there that can display the mouse coordinates next to the pointer or elsewhere on the screen? [04:01] soy nuevo [04:01] not that I'm aware of [04:02] CheesyWeasel, xev perhaps [04:03] jack [04:04] ok, so I switched to my Intrepid CD and got the initial screen, but then choosing anything made it hang - even trying to check the CD's integrity :\ [04:04] I guess that means it's a coaster? [04:04] probably [04:04] hispajak [04:04] got another computer to try on? [04:04] any idea how to force overscan with nvidia driver (I eard 173 can do overscan as opposed to newer versions, but theres nothing bout that in the GUI) [04:04] no... but my Hardy CD worked fine, so I doubt it's hardware [04:05] what in your opinion is the best aim client that supports webcam for linux? [04:05] does pidgin support webcam [04:05] ? [04:06] I don't know about AIM, but I've heard Skype is working on webcam support for x64 linux systems, but I haven't checked to see if they have it yet [04:06] whats a good CLI hex viewer editor ? [04:06] I'm having trouble getting pictures off of my Canon Rebel XT, it worked prior to the upgrade to intrepid. I suspect it has to do with the changes with udev to hal and consolekit. Anyone with experience in the udev/hal/ck-list that can help? [04:06] does anyone know how to make an app launcher in cairo dock? i know how to make a launcher i just dont know the command. is it F1? [04:07] because that didn't work for me [04:07] _any_ idea how to force overscan with nvidia driver (I eard 173 can do overscan as opposed to newer versions, but theres nothing bout that in the GUI) [04:07] hi, anyone knows how to watch tc, using mplayer , from a pvr 150 card ?? [04:07] tc/tv [04:08] no sorry [04:08] OK, so if I have a working Hardy CD, then I can just upgrade after install right? [04:08] Nephilus: thanks anyway [04:08] except that installer didn't have an option to resize the partition [04:08] hi, how can I browse files on my ntfs partition? [04:09] Kompozer, an html editor, keeps shutting down when i scroll through some menus. Why? [04:09] mib_296vpl, ntfs-3g. [04:09] Can that be done manually somehow from within the Hardy installer? [04:09] how do i install my scanner hp scanjet 4600 [04:09] skorzen: i type that in terminal? [04:09] not sure if this is a linux or windows issue here, but, i just finished connecting my xp desktop and my ubuntu8.10 desktop using an ethernet cable(using vnc to control the ubuntu box) how can i get ubuntu to see the files on the xp comp? [04:09] mib_296vpl, just type 'sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g' to see what happens. [04:09] Stepan1: Because of an incompatibility with the version of gtk in Ubuntu 8.10 and onward. Sorry... [04:09] ok thanks skorzen [04:10] mib_296vpl, no problem. [04:10] http://mibbit.com/pb/4XuIOW skorzen [04:10] tonyyarusso: is it a Kompozer issue (as far as them updating their code) or a ubuntu issue? [04:10] crazypoultry, using samba. [04:11] I have trouble booting a linux distro from my flash drive. If anyone knows something about it, private message me please [04:11] anybody have any success getting usb mouse to work on virtual box windows xp? [04:11] Stepan1: KompoZer issue. It's being worked on upstream, but I haven't had time to re-build the Ubuntu package yet. You should still be able to install from upstream directly as a ZIP file. [04:11] or how to dual monitor with nvidia setting, it's plugged but it doesn't see it ? [04:11] bonhoffer, if it isn't auto-detected, try this: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html [04:12] skorzen, how do i tell if it is autodetected -- sane doesn't pick it up [04:12] skorzen: still pretty new to linux, samba installed by default or no?(the ubuntu box is not connected to the internet. [04:12] mib_296vpl, that means you have the program installed. [04:12] tonyyarusso: thanks [04:12] skoef, hplip is in the distro, no? [04:12] crazypoultry, samba isn't installed by default on ubuntu. [04:13] bonhoffer, did you tried those drivers I told you? [04:13] skorzen: how can i get the porgram to let me communicate with the partition? [04:13] where are the icon located ? [04:13] skorzen: tyvm [04:13] skorzen, sorry, it looks like those drivers are default in 8.10 [04:13] nevermind skorzen thanks anyway [04:14] hello how can i set the JAVA_HOME? [04:14] mib_296vpl, ubuntu doesn't mount it automatically for you? [04:15] Oh boy [04:15] question how do i get on whatnet.org? [04:15] I need some help here [04:15] Anyone know something about booting a linux distro from a pen drive? The pen drive is setup right, I just don't know how to boot the thing up... I plug the pen drive in, turn the computer on, and nothing happens. Most of the normal commands like getting into bios won't work as long as the pen drive is plugged in. [04:15] skorzen: nope [04:15] I'm a new linux yser [04:15] well there is nothing on my desktop skorzen [04:15] *user [04:15] and I installed linux [04:15] viet, if it's an irc server, something like /server irc.whatnet.org ? [04:15] wow my RTC is way off [04:15] problem is, when I shutdown my laptop, it acts funny [04:15] it thinks it is 12:35PM === DonDoitle is now known as Doitle [04:15] i tried to start tomcat and it ask me for JAVA_HOME [04:15] It wouldn't load ubuntu [04:16] so I had to reboot with the CD and install it again [04:16] mib_296vpl, try forcing it: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdx /mountpoint -o force [04:16] You must replace sdx with the correct syntax, and 'mountpoint' also. [04:16] my settings were (wireless network, etc.) save [04:16] will do skorzen [04:17] also, I couldn't log in my profile [04:17] unless the thing you make on installition isn't one O_o [04:17] skorzen: except i want to mount the partition with the smaller size: /dev/sda3 16179 18674 20047111+ 7 HPFS/NTFS or /dev/sda2 616 16064 124085248 7 HPFS/NTFS [04:17] I'm installing Ubuntu on a 15 GB HDD, but I'm somewhat confused. [04:18] It's asking me for the installation size. [04:18] Should I select 8 GB as the installation size? [04:18] This is probably a dumb question, but got me stumped. I added a new hardrive and mounted the new drive as /var/ after I copied the var data into it. I then rebooted and all is working well, I want to now delete the old "/var" data sitting on the / in the first hard drive....How do I get to this data to delete it as the new mount is masking it? [04:18] if you are using Wubi it does that [04:18] are you trying to install inside of windows Searles? [04:18] Should I use the entire 15 GB for the installation size? [04:18] mib_296vpl, a smaller size? I would recommend you to resize it first, before mounting. [04:18] Searles, why not? [04:19] Well, would it leave any extra space for me to save files on? [04:19] While using Ubuntu? [04:19] hey I'm having an issue with ufw. I can't delete the rules. Logs can be found at: http://pastebin.com/m145c700b [04:19] Searles, you cannot set install size more than presen on your CD :) [04:19] skorzen: i have 2 windows paritions. one of them is smaller than the other. how do I find out which on that is? [04:19] The highest amount it'll let me select is 10 GB [04:19] It's only a 15 GB HDD [04:19] mib_296vpl, if they're already mounted, go to the terminal and type 'df'. [04:20] is your 15 gig hard drive a separate drive, partition or just free space in windows? [04:20] can I just remove it from /etc/ufw/applications? [04:20] But does that mean that I'll only have 3 GB left to download files from the internet to? [04:20] no [04:20] It's a Separate drive [04:20] does anyone know where i can download what i need to setup samba for an offline comp? the samba site as debian packages will they work? [04:20] http://mibbit.com/pb/3DvOHI skorzen [04:20] wubi installs a virtual drive and it is maxxed out at whatever you set it at [04:20] Searles, usually you download _everything_ from internet [04:21] Uhm, excuse me [04:21] So, if the option to resize partitions is not available on Hardy, then is it safe to use a third-party tool to setup partitions beforehand? [04:21] so if you say 10 gigs, your ubuntu install will take up about 3 gigs at the start and then you have 7 gigs left [04:21] But, I'm seriously stumped here [04:21] In the Hardy installer, I mean. [04:21] Ok, I got it now. [04:21] if you have a separate drive tho you should do a clean install by booting up from your cd rom [04:21] Thanks mogul218 [04:21] I don't have a CD-R [04:21] So I'm using Wubi [04:21] oh ok [04:22] well choose the highest install size [04:22] mib_296vpl, it seems like they aren't mounted yet. [04:22] "installation size" is the size of virtual disk the system will be installed into [04:22] you can always get LVPM and resize your virtual disk to a larger one [04:22] Also, this is strange [04:22] Am I running Linux off the CD? [04:23] skorzen: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /mountpoint -o force ? [04:24] If in install Ubuntu on my 15 GB HDD inside of my PC now, can I remove the HDD from this PC later and put it in a different PC and use it there? [04:24] mib_296vpl, it's an option. Just change 'mountpoint' to something that makes you remember Windows. :-) [04:24] i suppose you could...depends on what version of windows your are using tho [04:24] how about skorzen: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /home/jordan/Desktop -o force ? [04:25] I don't have another PC right now [04:25] i have ubuntu and am tryingto see my ubuntu shares on my vista pc how do i find them [04:25] But I'm thinking about buying an old one [04:25] And just using Ubuntu on it [04:25] how about skorzen: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /home/jordan/Desktop/windows -o force ? do i need to create the dir or will it do it for me? [04:25] I wanna' take out the 15 GB HDD I'm installing Ubuntu on right now [04:25] And use it on an older PC that I'll get later on [04:25] mib_296vpl, try that one. [04:25] The last you wrote. [04:25] hokey [04:26] When I tried that with Windows, It didn't work [04:26] Uh [04:26] I guess you can only use Windows on the PC that it was originally installed on [04:26] Help me out here? X_x [04:27] skorzen: THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [04:27] hey I'm having an issue with ufw. I can't delete the rules. Logs can be found at: http://pastebin.com/m145c700b [04:27] can I just remove it from /etc/ufw/applications? [04:27] i got it! [04:27] Searles, different hardware, different kernel modules to load. ;-) [04:27] mib_296vpl, did it work? :-) [04:27] ypu! [04:27] yup! [04:27] !register [04:27] thank you so much [04:27] Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname . Registration help available in #freenode [04:27] Good luck, then. ;-) [04:28] thanks a ton [04:28] bye!! [04:28] No problem. [04:28] i have set up samba but i cant find my samba shares on my windows pc [04:28] So after installing Ubuntu on my 15 GB HDD using this PC, I won't be able to take out the 15 GB HDD and use it/Ubuntu on a different PC later? [04:29] I'll have to keep it in this PC? [04:29] Searles, you will, but you probably have to recompile the kernel. [04:29] that's a lot of trouble to go thru [04:29] Oh [04:29] you would be better off just reinstalling fresh [04:29] Uh. [04:29] That sucks [04:29] I just installed Ubuntu [04:29] by then you will have your copy of ubuntu on bootable CD [04:30] It's easier to get the OS now and modify it how you want it and then get the PC later than the latter [04:30] and there were a couple of errors when I installed it with the CD [04:30] i install ubuntu 2 or 3 times a week lately [04:30] will i loose anything more than hibernation by disabling swap. and also if i do not loose anything more. how do i disable swap in 8.04 [04:30] cause i'm playing around with partition sizes and stuff [04:30] i used to wubi but i don't any more [04:30] Hi. Does anyone have an idea for a way to organise my music collection using tags instead of directories, sort of like what Picasa does for pictures? [04:31] how can i modprobe to see what my wireless interface is using? [04:31] mralexandro, just don't create a swap partition. [04:31] but i have already made it. but i was thinkin about disabling it. so i can use that partition for xp:/ [04:31] Acier, what kind of errors? [04:31] i have vista, ubuntu slackware and swap now, want to disable swap to install xp. cause of some applications i have to use for school [04:32] mralexandro, why don't you just shrink a partition to install XP? [04:33] mralexandro, I think you must edit /etc/fstab file then. [04:33] mralexandro: VM or install visa, no need for two instances of windows [04:33] partition one sda1 vista, partition 2 sda2 ubuntu, partition 3 sda3 slackware, partition 4 sda4 logical containing swap. i have used all the partitions [04:33] Btw, disabling swap is not a good idea. [04:33] mralexandro: thats like double fail [04:33] i've my hdd divided in four partitions,one of them contains intrepid.now while booting the other three partitions are not mounted automatically.i've to mount them manually.is there any way to mount them automatically on boot up? [04:33] asdf_n00b: I'd like to do that too... but the hardy installer won't do that I guess. Can I resize the windows partition and create new ones for ubuntu with a third-party tool? [04:33] Anyone here know anything about booting from a USB drive? I configured the drive right, it's just for some reason it won't boot when the computer starts up. [04:33] Idk if I have to do something with bios [04:33] somenoob93: did you select usb device from your boot menu? [04:33] you have to make sure you're booting from USB... hit F12 or something right at the start of boot === victorneves is now known as victorneves_ [04:34] it'll say what button right at the start [04:34] somenoob93: go into the grub at startup [04:34] : i do agree with you, but the only flighstim working stable on my laptop, that i can feel will always work stable is fs2004, it does not come with a glass cockpit but there is a addon that gives me an up to date current glasscockpit, which is currently only supported in xp. [04:35] I don't know how to get into grub :s I installed my ubuntu via wubi ("inside" of Windows). The options I have are: Press Esc to enable startup message, F1 to enter System Info, F9 to change boot device order, F2 to startup check, F10 to enter SETUP, F11 to system recovery, and F12 to network boot === victorneves_ is now known as victorneves [04:35] so i have think i have to go with either deleting swap or deleting slackware. only problem is i really like the lilo bootloader so much!! [04:36] im trying to see my ubuntu shares on my windows machine anyone ahve any ideas? === bonhoffer is now known as bonhoffer|away [04:36] hi [04:36] botux: I think you have to mount it from within ubuntu [04:36] mralexandro: you could install lilo on ubuntu [04:36] mralexandro: couldn't tell you how much "hacking" it would require [04:36] on the other hand, I should be ignored because I've never even successfully installed ubuntu :D [04:36] mralexandro: check the package manager and see if lilo is there [04:36] does anyone know how to get a main menu in cairo dock [04:37] yeah i think it would be above my head [04:37] oh ok [04:37] thanks [04:37] alt f1 doesn't work for me [04:37] anyone know what the unicode keystroke is in jaunty? iirc, it used to be alt-ctrl-u or something like that, i can't seem to re-guess what it is [04:37] !jaunty | Barridus [04:37] Barridus: Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 23rd, 2009 - Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April 23rd - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [04:37] Barridus: wrong channel [04:37] lol [04:37] Does anyone know if it would be possible to have some type of database system for my too huge movie collection, where I could tag each movie with certain descriptions, something like Picasa does for pictures, Gmail for E-mail, or even similar to Libraries in Windows 7? [04:37] :O sorry [04:38] < I want to verify that my kernel config includes certain options, where do i find it [04:38] picasa works in wine [04:38] Picasa doesn't do Videos though [04:38] help with usb mouse with virtual box [04:39] hmm idk [04:39] aaronator: you could apt-get the kernel sources and look at the config [04:39] thanks anyways [04:39] How do i share a folder/harddisk from one ubuntu machine to another ubuntu machine (LAN) [04:39] I'll try to see what I can find online. The problem arises where you can't just fit one movie in one distinct category [04:39] Titan8990 ok i found lilo in package manager. but listen, i did not install grub to the mbr. i installed it to sda2(ubuntu partition) if i choose to install lilo now. will it be able to install it in the mbr [04:39] titan8990: this will allow me to view my current kernel config? [04:40] I'm having problems with pulse audio, it seems like it is using up lots of CPU, and hitting it's soft limit and killing itself. [04:40] how do i get it to take less CPU time? [04:40] hi, i have two ip segment connected to my ubuntu box 10.1.2.11 and 10.1.4.11 . my question is how can i allow those from 10.1.4.11 to connect to the other segments via my ubuntu box? [04:40] i'm having a lil trouble with intrepid, i can't seem to get my sound card to work, i can play music from my windows drive but i can't play sound else where i have a soundblaster live 5.1 on a dell computer [04:40] Dreamglider: many choices, for easy and secure ssh/scp; for faster transfers http or ftp [04:41] Hammerhead66 / Titan8990 , may I PM either of you? I wrote down the startup choices last time I restarted.. wondering if you could tell me which I need to pick [04:41] mralexandro: you will probably need to manually remove grub [04:41] Titan8990, im currently sshing to the machine form wich i want the file [04:41] voodoonix: what graphic card do you have? [04:41] radeon 9600 === victorneves is now known as victorneves_ [04:41] ati [04:41] mralexandro: and install lilo with the lilo command, might also need to write your own lilo.conf [04:41] somenoob93: sure [04:41] graphics work wonderful [04:41] got compiz to work and everything [04:41] mralexandro, install grub to the mbr [04:42] voodoonix: im me I'll give you the info [04:42] somenoob93: what problem were you having? [04:42] i do not think i need to. cause grub is only on the ubuntu partition. lilo is the mbr right now. the only problem is everythime i configure it i have to do that trough slackware [04:42] ok pretend i'm not running jaunty. this is intrepid i swear ;) *coughnobodyknowsinubuntu+1cough* what's the intrepid unicode trigger to enter characters pls :) [04:42] do i have to do if vara == "1" and if varb == "2" [04:42] or just one 'if'? [04:42] Mike_lifeguard: how do i mount samba shares [04:42] no idea [04:42] what is the kde3/konquerorsu kde4/dolphin equivalence? [04:42] I'm a total noob :) [04:43] botux: any advice I give is dangerous XD [04:43] Dreamglider: alright if you are already sshed into a host and want to pull a file from it, the syntax is: scp foobar.txt your_username@IPADDRESS:/some/remote/directory === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [04:43] hi, i got a ati radeon hd 2400 the live CD doesn't boot on it- it does boot on other computers- what can id o? (live cd -8.10) === victorneves_ is now known as victorneves [04:44] Titan8990, when I turn my computer on with the pen drive in, the computer doesn't get past the first screen. It doesn't respond to most commands, like f9 etc [04:44] Dreamglider: but you can also mount scp locations with nautalus [04:44] I have to literally pull out the pen drive then restart without the drive in if I'm to do anything [04:44] Titan8990, i do this on the local or remove ? [04:44] somenoob93: are you saying you don't get passed the POST? [04:45] how do i get my sound to work in ubuntu? [04:45] There is a big difference from 8.04 to 8.10 [04:45] what is the konquerorsu kde4/dolphin equivalence? to browse directory as root [04:45] cant i mount the entire disk on the remote machine on this machine ? [04:45] yeah. I can't pass it, and I can't even push F9 (to change boot device order) while the pen drive is plugged in. I wonder if there's something to change in bios? [04:45] is it possible to disable the swap disk, and if i do. what will i miss of features? [04:45] Dreamglider: if you give permissions for your user to access it [04:46] Mike_lifeguard: lol ill take my chances [04:46] well, I guess you'd have to mount it just like any other drive [04:46] how [04:46] lol ya how [04:46] Dreamglider: go to: places -> connect to server choose ssh [04:47] when I did the "try ubuntu" thing from the installation CD it detected my Windows files just fine [04:47] so... *shrug* [04:47] May be back later. Trying to boot from the pen drive again [04:47] on what end. remote or local ? [04:47] Dreamglider: is the drive you want to share already mounted? [04:47] Titan8990, yes it's mounted, it's the Ubuntu drive [04:47] Dreamglider: the client [04:48] im trying to be sure im mounting right im not sure i know how [04:48] i am need to verify that my current kernel configuration includes certain options, i do not think apt-get will show me this will it?

Maybe just something minimal - xfce or something [05:16] stealth: im having issues mounting a share do you know how [05:16] iceroot, that doesn't really answer my question though.. LTS means it'll be around a while longer, but what does that make of Intrepid? do the releases become LTS after a while..? i'm not even quite sure how that works. [05:16] wahnfrieden: try xubuntu [05:17] flip, I told you, i haven't set up ath5/9k drivers, i still use madwifi [05:17] !lts | ynk [05:17] ynk: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [05:17] oh, awesome. thanks [05:17] botux: sorry, i gave up on samba a while ago, to much trouble, this might help you, though, one sec [05:17] ynk: so 8.10 will never get lts [05:17] !samba | botux [05:17] guys how to install serial port on xen with ubuntu server [05:17] botux: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

(can you tell i love using their nicknames? lol) [05:18] twois10: did you enable kernel debugging? [05:18] Does anyone know whats up with those two weird characters that come after the path when you drag a file into the command line? [05:18] ynk: yes, 8.10 will be outdated before 8.04 [05:18] Titan8990, no [05:19] ynk: so if 8.04 is running for you, why change to 8.10? [05:19] I just got 8.10 because that's what unetbootin automatically downloaded for me =P [05:19] guys... where can i find the inittab file of ubuntu? thanks [05:19] iceroot, i like your logical. makes sense. 'if it ain't broke..' [05:19] I can't copy them here they show up blank, but they're like squares with some weird writing in them.. It's annoying cause I'm building this database and have to delete the two characters at the end of each path [05:19] ynk: yes :) never touch a running system [05:20] iceroot, yes sir. never again! [05:20] the sole reason I'm running 8.10 is because it's awesome codename ^_^ [05:20] Iceman_B^Ltop: i cant pronounce it :( [05:20] (well, and I left the 8.04 discs at my parents, so why not burn the latest) [05:20] iceroot: the intrepid part or the ibex part? [05:21] Iceman_B^Ltop: intrepid [05:21] haha, tell me thats a joke [05:21] Iceman_B^Ltop: sounds strange for me (german) [05:21] ...im dutch [05:21] its not hard :) [05:21] Iceman_B^Ltop: but also not nice :) [05:21] is there an easy way to fix dependencies on about 300 packages?

It actually doesnt happen in terminal.. happens in like.. paths in other Software [05:23] asdf_n00b: well, if i understand you right, what your doing is grabbing a file and dragging it into the terminal, and when I did that i got the file location with ' around it. [05:23] asdf_n00b: ah, file a bug report maybe? [05:23] stealth-_: its normal [05:24] iceroot: why does it happen? [05:24] What's its purpose though? [05:24] stealth-_: because of whitespace and so on [05:24] if there are spaces in the filepath [05:24] ah [05:24] hunh.. but the path doesn't work with those extra 2 characters though [05:24] stealth-_: your file.jpg or 'your file.jpg' [05:24] iceroot: pm [05:25] iceroot: what about them?

Sorry :( [05:34] stealth: i tried reading the howtos but they are like greek to me i dont understand them [05:34] botux: maybe someone else here has more experience with samba, but i gave up in frustration with it.....

I got it to work once, but not without much struggle... [05:35] pr0t0c0n: console mode? you mean no GUI? [05:35] yea [05:35] pr0t: yeah, use different terminals... 1 2 [05:35] pr0t: or run them in background [05:36] pr0t0c0n: then yes, just move over to a different terminal or use screen. ctrl+alt+F# where # is a terminal number [05:36] !screen | pr0t0c0n [05:36] pr0t0c0n: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH.

[06:18] leoXsys: right but idunno how to access it [06:21] hi, live cd will not boot on my pc (8.10) after the "try without changes to your computer" it just goes black [06:21] I installed Ubuntu on a laptop and I can get wireless to work at all [06:21] from the GUI [06:21] I can do it with iwconfig and dhclient [06:22] Ketrel: did you just install the wireless drivers? or did you never do that yourself? [06:22] Fresh install [06:22] installed nothing yet [06:22] Ketrel: try restarting network manager. sudo invoke-rc.d NetworkManger restart === dave_ is now known as AK_Dave [06:23] raylu: ok, from there, what do I do to add a wireless network to it? [06:23] Ketrel: m... when you connect to one, i think it automatically creates one. [06:23] connect to one HOW [06:23] Ketrel: you can also right-click for a different menu than the left-click one [06:23] Ketrel: left-click on ti [06:24] Ketrel: *it [06:24] so it won't detect networks? [06:24] I'd always have to manually enter the ssid? [06:24] Ketrel: oh, sometimes right after it starts it takes a bit to get the network list [06:24] Ketrel: you can prod it with "sudo iwlist scan" [06:24] leoXsys: any ideas? [06:25] raylu I'm trying to give this to someone who has no idea how to use command line [06:25] botux: I am thinking... [06:25] leoXsys: sorry [06:25] botux: It's ok. [06:25] raylu anyways: 'wlan0 interface doesn't support scanning : network is down' [06:26] Ketrel: oh fun. i never did figure out what that error meant [06:26] Ketrel: perhaps your wireless card isn't switched on? [06:26] raylu: then using iwconfig and dhclient wouldn't work would it [06:26] Ketrel: dhclient connects to the network properly? [06:27] hello [06:27] yes, I said that at the beginning, GUI isn't working, but command line is [06:27] my menu.lst went blank any way to fix it [06:27] botux: I have not tried using SAMBA, But i am checking support... [06:27] thedarkone: update-grub [06:27] Ketrel: wicd? seems to fix those issues, not sure if we're allowed to recommend though. [06:28] how raylu [06:28] leoXsys: ok just so you know i mapped the vist shares on my desktop so that part is good i juts cant see the samba shares on my vista machine [06:28] ok, it just stopped working >.< [06:28] is there an easy way in ubuntu to print a large image that is multiple pages, like a banner, in chunks on seperate pages that you could tape together? without manually cutting up the image in gimp [06:28] since there is no manual switch on it, is there any way to enable the card if it was off? [06:28] botux: Ohhh!!!! [06:29] botux: My bad time :( [06:29] leoXsys: sorry i didnt think i explained that right the first time [06:29] thedarkone: that's the name of a command. run it [06:30] botux: It's ok, Mistake makes the man perfect :) [06:30] Ketrel: is it like a fn+[random key] switch? [06:30] leoXsys: lol right [06:30] apropos makes man perfect [06:30] i hit c and put that in i get error 27 [06:30] thedarkone: who are you talking to? [06:30] unrecognized command [06:30] u raylu [06:31] thedarkone: oh. please put my name in front. why'd you hit c? [06:31] anyone in here using 9.04 beta? I having some issues being able to log into X after install ati drivers [06:31] !jaunty | ubuntu__ [06:31] ubuntu__: Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 23rd, 2009 - Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April 23rd - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [06:31] raylu when i boot only thing that comes up in grub is memtest86+ [06:32] raylu: yes, but I haven't added anything for keyboard so I'd assume it'd have no effect [06:32] uvdgadhd [06:32] raylu i hit c for command line [06:32] ;jasd;jadf [06:32] pajoawfoiha [06:32] ojsdf;onasd;fasd [06:32] botux: Check this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=912814 [06:32] thedarkone: oh. i thought you had already booted. is the problem you can't boot? [06:32] pojifojfoiqw wefoijqw ohfvgq [06:32] raylu yes [06:32] nak mna ?" [06:32] Ketrel: actually, on most laptops, that's handled by hardware [06:32] raylu can not boot [06:32] Ketrel: fn+[random key for touchpad] is like that too. try pressing it and running "sudo dmesg | tail" [06:33] thedarkone: do you have a livecd/liveusb/etc. available? [06:33] raylu: nope, it's not on this, I just tried enabling scroll lock which is a fn+key but no effect [06:33] not here [06:33] thedarkone: that's going to be kinda difficult then. [06:34] raylu when i get a live cd what should i do [06:34] is there a good small image editor for ubuntu? not gimp, I want something more like the online app picnik, except for the desktop [06:34] thedarkone: i would just re-install grub using one of the various guides. personally, that means mount the linux install and use "grub-install /dev/sd[whatever] --root-directory=[mount point]" [06:35] rwparris2: by small, you mean like mspaint? [06:35] yes [06:35] Ketrel: but that's not handled by hardware. or rather, it is but it's passed as a key to software [06:35] rwparris2: tuxpaint. also a few others. aptitude search paint [06:36] what do i use in the terminal to install updates [06:36] leoXsys: that all you found? [06:36] CompCrash: sudo apt-get upgrade [06:36] thedarkone: on the other hand, do you know when you last upgraded your kernel? [06:36] botux: Yes :( [06:36] CompCrash: prior to doing that, you may need to do sudo apt-get update [06:36] thedarkone: or the kernel version :D [06:36] CompCrash: apt-get or aptitude? [06:37] raylu I've tried it with no luck, is there anything else I could try? (It's a Dell Latitude D600 and I already tried modprobing ndiswrapper) [06:37] mikenot [06:37] leoXsys: thanks for helping ill chekc that out [06:37] wrong chat [06:37] botux: Sorry, I am also newbie... [06:37] Ketrel: er, what wireless card? latitudes use intel chipsets which are well support by iwl, i thought [06:38] i did aptitude and it only found them but not install [06:38] CompCrash: sudo aptitude dist-upgrade [06:38] leoXsys: its ok lol i think with linux everyone is a newbie theres always something to learn [06:38] CompCrash: or safe-upgrade, if you prefer [06:38] raylu: I'm not sure how to check [06:39] Ketrel: lspci === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [06:39] i'm sick of the update manager or synaptic package manager not working right [06:39] frak, it's a broadcom [06:39] since 8.10 they dont always work [06:40] Ketrel: lspci -v will show the modules its using [06:40] Ketrel: which would be useful :D [06:41] Broadcom Corporation BCM4309 802.11a/b/g (rev 03) [06:41] is there any program i can use to install microsoft office in ubuntu ? [06:41] anybody know how to change background color to workspace switcher area? [06:41] botux, leoXsys: there's no need for ntfs support [06:41] does anyone know a way to open pdf 1.7 documents in ubuntu? [06:41] botux: but samba is basically a pain. try "smbclient -L" [06:41] spaceBARbarian: what do you need there that openoffice doesn't do? [06:42] other than downloading the acrobat binary [06:42] spaceBARbarian use openoffice 3.0 [06:42] FiReSTaRT: can you give me a pdf 1.7 document? [06:42] Ketrel: and the module [06:42] ? [06:42] raylu: sure.. ill give u a link [06:42] scunizi: i am too used to msoffice, dont feel like switching [06:42] anyone good with c++ here? [06:43] spaceBARbarian: but you feel like switching your entire OS? [06:43] dffsd: wrong channel for that [06:43] #ubuntu-programming is of no help [06:43] what's the command for that curses kernel configuration tool? [06:43] raylu: I think it's ssb [06:43] dffsd: there's probably #c++. what do you need? [06:43] <_motti__> hi guys. where can I ask/suggest a feature for the next ubuntu release? [06:43] i need help wiith run-time type identification [06:43] raylu: its asking for parameters [06:44] botux: do you know the hostname/ip of the machine that has the files shared? [06:44] raylu : link sent via pm [06:44] _motti__: file a bugreport and mark it as feature [06:44] FiReSTaRT: as far as i can tell, that's a pdf telling you you need a newer pdf reader [06:44] spaceBARbarian: I've used both for years and don't find many things that oo won't do.. menu's are close and unless you're using a lot of the higher functions it's hardly worth running office in wine... if the version you have will work [06:44] raylu: its my ubuntu machine which im on [06:45] botux: oh. then why do you need samba? smbclient -L localhost [06:45] raylu: kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge (if that's what you wanted) [06:45] Ketrel: yeah... [06:45] Ketrel: things starting with b43 usually involve pain [06:45] <_motti__> raylu, is it for real? there is no "formal" way for the community to toss around ideas? [06:45] _motti__: #ubuntu-dev [06:45] raylu: that's because document viewer/OOo can only open pdf 1.4... pdf 1.7 is relatively new [06:45] spaceBARbarian: actually abiword is a breath of fresh air.. fast, lean and very functional.. [06:46] _motti__: and yes, for real. there are thousands of bugs and feature requests. dealing with them all at once in the form of chat is not productive [06:46] raylu is there anything I could do in that case [06:46] raylu: because i wanna see my ubuntu shares on my vvista box [06:46] FiReSTaRT: there is no reason evince or whatever linux pdf reader you are using would tell you to go visit the adobe website [06:46] raylu: i could install the acrobat but i'd like to see if OOo or Document Viewer can be patched to open that format [06:46] botux: who uses the vista box? to avoid pain, i'd recommend getting an sftp/scp client on the vista box [06:47] raylu: i just got Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME) [06:47] Ketrel: i've never gotten a broadcom car fully working [06:47] scunizi: i do use a lot of higher functions, including visio and equations etc [06:47] raylu: there is if the document contains some embedded binary crap that they can't open [06:47] Ketrel: *card. i've gotten bits and pieces of connectivity at best [06:47] raylu when i used the command you sent me [06:47] damn, that's not good :( [06:47] FiReSTaRT: not... really. what are you trying to view ont hat website [06:47] scunizi: is there anything other than crossover that is known to run office ? [06:47] does anyone know how to get audio working properly on a laptop? I have muted the sound from the ubuntu menu but it still plays the boot sound and sounds for pidgin [06:47] \it's really annoying [06:47] FiReSTaRT: Doc Viewer should (which is evince) .. also scribus will, and possibly xpdf [06:47] botux: i have no idea, sorry. can you answer my earlier question? [06:48] <_motti__> raylu, I'm sure of that. But filing a bug is like entering through the next door. Isn't there an equivalent for bug report in the features field? [06:48] raylu: which one lol [06:48] _motti__: yes... technically, the 'bug tracker' is an issue tracker [06:48] _motti__: and issues include feature requests [06:48] scunizi: it doesn't though.. i downloaded the file tried to open it both with evince and OOo, same crap [06:48] botux: 1:46:56 raylu> botux: who uses the vista box? to avoid pain, i'd recommend getting an sftp/scp client on the vista box [06:48] spaceBARbarian: just straight wine should depending on the version.. if you really use a lot of visio stuff maybe running office in a VM of windows [06:49] lo, how can i add a network printer in ubuntu? same goes with a dot matrix printer? [06:49] FiReSTaRT: have you tried xpdf? [06:49] scunizi: http://www.torontopolice.on.ca/aps/tps664.pdf [06:49] ill give it a shot [06:49] raylu: lol oh i do and i want to be able to share my music and video files between the 2 [06:49] raylu: is there any way to get it to work? This kinda throws a wrench in my plans for a bday gift [06:49] hi, i am trying to convert a file in ffmpeg, i get this error >> Unknown codec libmp3lame [06:49] whats an sftp/scp client [06:49] botux: can't you use samba? [06:50] botux: then, to avoid pain, i'd recommend getting an sftp/scp client for vista. filezilla and winscp are good choices [06:50] botux: then, simply set up openssh-server (read: install and you're done) [06:50] Sir_Brizz: if it would work [06:50] Sir_Brizz: he can, but he's having trouble setting it up. and i've never gotten that working faster than scp [06:50] scunizi: same problem with xpdf [06:51] yeah but it sounds like he wants to mount it on Vista, not just copy files around [06:51] <_motti__> raylu, I went to the bug tracker website and they don't mention the feature asking as an option [06:51] scunizi: as far as i can tell, it's actually a pdf that tells you to go get adobe acrobat, not an app-generated error message [06:51] Sir_Brizz: i cant see the samba shares on my vista box [06:51] scunizi: http://www.torontopolice.on.ca/aps/tps664.pdf [06:51] Siir_Brizz: Bingo sir [06:51] Sir_Brizz: have you ever gotten samba working? [06:52] I haven't tried to set it up dfor a while [06:52] Ketrel: i'm sure it's _possible_ [06:52] raylu: yea.. strange. I've downloaded it and I'm trying scribus... [06:52] FiReSTaRT: yea.. just found that out [06:52] FiReSTaRT: installing scribus now. [06:52] raylu: is there anywhere with a tutorial? [06:53] hey guys i'm looking for someone who can help me with the community documentation [06:53] Sir_Brizz: all of the howtos are like greek to me' [06:53] Anyone here ever read from hardware RTC in Linux? [06:53] im installing libgnupdf0 it should have pdf 1.7 support [06:53] anyone here involved in community documentation? [06:53] how do I copy the file that a symbolic link is pointing to?? [06:54] !wifi | Ketrel [06:54] Ketrel: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:55] <_motti__> ok, thanks [06:55] botux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [06:56] FiReSTaRT: raylu got it.. Adobereader 8 from the medibuntu repo's opens it fine. [06:56] scunizi: strange... perhaps that's a feature of pdfs - to show that message [06:56] raylu: first time I've even seen that. [06:57] scunizi: i know.. i was hoping to avoid installing it.. always found it to be a resource-hog [06:57] adobe reader is software i avoid even in windows =\ [06:57] scunizi: thanks.. i guess ill be forced to install it and then remove it :) [06:57] bobgill_: it happens transparently, that's the point [06:57] how do i remove an application previously installed with 'make-install' [06:57] KoolD: you mean 'make install'? [06:57] FiReSTaRT: yea.. I hate doing that too [06:58] yup [06:58] KoolD: some makefiles have uninstall, so "make uninstall" [06:58] relaxed: there is no package as lame-dev ! [06:58] so FloodBot is aking over it looks like? [06:58] if I have a directory too big to see the entire ls in a terminal window is there any way I can set it to feed a page at a time like less [06:58] I tried less ls -l and it didnt work [06:58] Doitle: shift+pageup [06:58] scunizi: ah well.. in any case i'll be doing a clean install of jaunty in case there's any left-over crap :P [06:58] Doitle: ls | less [06:58] raylu: so there is no way if they dont have uninstall [06:59] KoolD: correct. you could rm them... manually... [06:59] raylu: what do you mean? I have filenames that are all numbers (date/times) with symbolic links in another folder where they are named and identifiable.. I want to be in this folder, seeing the names and copying the files.. [06:59] FiReSTaRT: me too.. my last upgrade didn't go so smooth.. still ironing out weirdness. [06:59] Sir_Bizz: how do i figure out what ip address my samba server is using? [06:59] raylu: eh.. thanks [06:59] scunizi: mine went to crap half-way through the life of hardy.. lost the ability to suspend [06:59] bobgill_: you have symlinks that are human-readable pointing to a bunch of numerical filenames [06:59] botux: it's the same as your machine running it. [06:59] raylu: of course the links that mention b43 are not working >.< [06:59] botux: it is your computer's ip address, you can see it in ifconfig [06:59] raylu: yup [07:00] Jaunty is pissing me off. The WorkplaceSwitcherApplet won't appear. According to gconf_editor I have ~20 instances of it on the top panel but none of them show. [07:00] scunizi: i'm hoping jaunty will fix that and the nvidia hdmi sound streaming issue === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [07:00] bobgill_: and you want to copy some of the files, identifying by their human readable names, but with the original numeric file names? [07:00] Sir_Brizz: should it be listed there when i run that command [07:01] yeah [07:01] Also how do I add to my paths file and not overwrite it? [07:01] there is some way to look inside gnome, but I'm completely inept at it :) [07:01] FiReSTaRT: that would be nice.. I put a new motherboard in my machine in Dec with hdmi and haven't tried it yet.. however to install and to continue to boot I have to have pci=nomsi on the kernel line [07:01] hello room [07:01] Doitle: paths... file? you mean $PATH variable? [07:01] yeah [07:01] raylu: I want to copy some, yes, but they don't have to be the original numeric file name.. I just want to be able to copy them by looking at the symlinks, rather than seeing where they point to, memorizing, cd'ing back and copying that way [07:01] I modified it before but accidentally overwrote it instead of adding to it [07:01] Doitle: export PATH=$PATH:/asdf/jkl/ [07:01] and so could not use any shell functionality [07:02] bobgill_: well.. you can already do that [07:02] Sir_Brizz its not there heres what i get (http://rafb.net/p/BELC5t34.html) [07:02] <--- is linux virgin [07:02] bobgill_: touch a && ln -s a b && cp b c [07:02] bobgill_: will make a copy of a called c [07:02] !hi | XiaolinDraconis [07:02] XiaolinDraconis: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [07:03] ty ty [07:03] ok better question, how do I enable ubuntu universe? [07:03] * scunizi wonders why everyone has such long nicks.. they all get truncated anyway [07:03] botux: inet addr:192.168.1.103 [07:03] (or is it enabled by default) [07:03] im having a little trouble with permissions [07:03] Ketrel: /etc/apt/sources.list [07:03] Ketrel: or system > admin > software sources, i think [07:03] raylu: i tried i cant see samba at that address [07:03] i try to use the same username everywhere i go [07:04] botux: m, no idea. talk to Sir_Brizz :P [07:04] lol [07:04] lol [07:04] can you ping that ip from your windows box? [07:04] XiaolinDraconis: anything beyond 9 characters get truncated on my machine. [07:04] um lemme try [07:04] !permissions | XiaolinDraconis [07:04] XiaolinDraconis: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [07:04] i thought you were talking about username in linux =\ [07:05] heh most names under 9 chars are taken anyways [07:05] XiaolinDraconis: I bet a56g09r5rb is not taken [07:05] Sir_Brizz: yes it was successful [07:05] jaunty! [07:05] can anyone help me with editing /etc/sudoers and/or /etc/passwd files? [07:06] Sir_Brizz: that's not under 9 chars. that's not even 9 chars. [07:06] XiaolinDraconis: don't do the latter manually [07:06] whoops I bumped the b key === freaky_t_ is now known as freaky_t [07:06] XiaolinDraconis: also, it looks like you're trying to do something the wrong way. what's the high-level goal you want to accomplish [07:06] * raylu feels like the paperclip [07:06] i want root access on my user account [07:06] scunizi: im still having trouble opening it.. doing an update... [07:06] botux, how are you trying to access the share? [07:06] scunizi, nope nothing for acro [07:07] XiaolinDraconis: and "sudo ls" doesn't cut it? [07:07] XiaolinDraconis: then add your user to the admin group [07:07] FiReSTaRT: I'm on Hardy and it works. [07:07] i believe i am in the admin group [07:07] Sir_Brizz: well with vista im not even sure how lol [07:07] scunizi, would you mind printing it to pdf and kicking it my way? [07:07] XiaolinDraconis: if your account can use sudo, it is in the admin group and effectively has root rights [07:07] * D3f0 is away: Ausente por el momento [07:07] FiReSTaRT: sure [07:07] but i still wasnt allowed to edit grub menu.lst [07:07] thanks :) [07:08] XiaolinDraconis: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [07:08] XiaolinDraconis: gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [07:08] how do I change the default window manager without completely uninstalling the ones I dont want? right now I'm constantly booting into LXDE by default and I want just GNOME.. I'm using GDM [07:08] botux, well for startes try going to start, and typing run in the search box [07:08] as an admin user i wasnt allowed to edit grub menu file [07:08] streenz: gdm has a sessions button, doesn't it? [07:08] oops i scrolled up [07:08] botux: then type \\192.168.1.103 [07:08] streenz: also, gnome itself has a WM option... somewhere. i'm using gnome and xmonad [07:08] scunizi, btw great news.. we finally have the nvidia 180 driver.. ill have to see if it'll solve the suspend issue on intrepid :) [07:09] raylu, yes I can go through and manually change it to GNOME, but theres no option to change what the default is, so from a reboot it will always go into LXDE unless i specify right now [07:09] i just dont want to have to use the terminal to do things all the time [07:09] XiaolinDraconis: there's also alt+f2 [07:09] * FiReSTaRT brb rebooting :) [07:09] streenz: er, if you choose one that's not the default, it asks if you want to make it the default [07:09] XiaolinDraconis: why not? [07:10] raylu, where does it ask? I see no option, and upon entering into GNOME it doesnt bring up a prompt or anything... [07:10] Sir_Brizz: vista doesnt have run [07:10] irc://irc.karma-irc.net/nerve [07:10] botux, yes it does [07:10] oh lol [07:10] cause im a spoiled windows refugee [07:10] .... [07:10] duh [07:10] streenz: before logging in at the gdm screen, there should be a Sessions option [07:10] can you install 3ddesktop via apt-get? [07:10] XiaolinDraconis: well, you'll need to become a proper citizen or your stay here will be unpleasant [07:11] ryanCH: what's 3ddesktop? [07:11] raylu, yes it has Options --- Select Session... upon clicking that I have the different options.. I choose GNOME, and click Change Session and log in... nowhere is there an option to make this the default [07:11] well if it makes anyone happy im proud to say i have no ntfs partitions on my machine anymore [07:11] raylu: it's a way to swtich between desktops in a 3d rotation [07:12] ryanCH: sounds like you want compiz [07:12] streenz: with gdm, you will get a dialog that says [Make default] [Cancel] [Just for this session] [07:12] SirBrizz: says cannot access and is asking me if i want it to diagnose a problem [07:12] ryanCH: try installing compizconfig-settings-manager [07:12] botux: cannot acces what? [07:13] streenz: strange... perhaps that is the default? upon restart, it still puts you into lxde? [07:13] how can i get the latest driver for my dell studio 1535 for ubuntu ibex? [07:13] raylu, yes there is no option to make default, and on a restart it goes into LXDE [07:13] XiaolinDraconis: cool. i actually still keep it around :( [07:13] ron20101: for what device? [07:13] Sir_Brizz: the ip address and when i click on details it says network path not found [07:13] raylu: is therre a difference in compize-settings-manager and simple-csm [07:13] streenz: no idea, sorry [07:13] crdlb, I dont see that dialog at all [07:13] raylu video [07:13] sorry [07:13] which command should I use to monitor a directory with gamin? [07:14] raylu, okay thanks anyways.. thanks for your time [07:14] csaba: "command"? [07:14] streenz: poke /etc/gdm/gdm.conf [07:14] what should I type to monitor a directory? [07:14] XiaolinDraconis: i have no idea; i don't use either [07:15] i did have an ntfs partition until i discovered qemu [07:15] csaba: as in you want a line displayed on your terminal when someone creates or removes a file? [07:15] ron20101: what video card? [07:15] raylu: any direction for finding latest video drivers [07:15] hold on [07:15] ron20101: lspci [07:15] ron20101: what card? [07:16] I can't figure this out [07:16] well no, I want another script to be executed... and I was told to use gamin, so I've tried to install it with apt-get install and was told that it's already installed... then in the end I found /usr/lib/gamin/gam_server but there's no help or anything on how to use it [07:16] Ketrel: welcome to my world [07:16] I installed b43-fwcutter but I can't find any info on what to do nextr [07:16] *next [07:17] Ketrel: try blacklisting the current driver in /etc/modprobe.d [07:17] csaba: what programming language are you using? [07:17] this isn't programming, I'm trying to execute the command from the shell [07:17] ok can someone help me fix my /etc/passwd file? [07:18] csaba: that is a form of programming, but I doubt it can be done at that level [07:18] i googled how to get root privies and was show how to do this [07:18] Ketrel: then, modprobe -r [current driver] [07:18] and it didnt work out the way i thought [07:18] Ketrel: modprobe b43-fwcutter or whatever [07:18] XiaolinDraconis: 'able to use sudo' isn't the same as 'having root privelages' [07:19] yeah i understand this now [07:19] XiaolinDraconis: you execute commands as root by prepending 'sudo' [07:19] XiaolinDraconis: there is nothing wrong with your passwd (hopefully) [07:19] yeah i changed it to read g:x:0:0:,,,,, [07:19] which made my account root [07:19] XiaolinDraconis: .................. [07:20] !adduser [07:20] To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [07:20] yeah i got that far [07:20] * FiReSTaRT rebooted too soon.. didnt have the actual 180 driver installed .lol [07:20] ron20101: your'e probably using it already if its intel [07:21] what i attempted was making my account not need the terminal for root access [07:21] scunizi, thanks for the file btw :) [07:21] raylu I don't think it's working [07:21] Why prints 'sudo netstat -tulpen' (http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/394711) in the first line for port 2628=Dictionary Server as program name=0, and is not more specific as the rest lines? 'ps 5380' prints yet 'dictd 1.10.10: 0/0'. [07:21] now i AM root [07:21] and i dont wanna be root [07:21] Ketrel: lsmod | grep b43 [07:21] i tried changing the entry back [07:21] FiReSTaRT: np..180.44 works well by the way [07:21] thanks raylu for the help [07:21] but then my profile failed to load [07:21] !de | bullgard4 [07:21] bullgard4: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[07:22] Sir_Brizz: you still there [07:22] scunizi: time to reboot again and try again lol [07:22] * FiReSTaRT brb [07:22] XiaolinDraconis: so uh, how hard would it be to reinstall? [07:22] raylu: a bunch show up, but I can't unload it [07:22] FiReSTaRT: why you rebooting [07:22] raylu: Are you able to differntiate between English and German at all? [07:22] it tells me i need to reboot for the driver to be activated [07:22] Ketrel: what was the name of the driver that lspci -v said it was using? and what did you modprobe -r? [07:22] not hard at all... how hard would this be to fix? [07:23] without reinstall [07:23] Ketrel: also, did you blacklist the old driver? if so, what was the name of the thing you added to the blacklist file? [07:23] FiReSTaRT: k [07:23] scunizi: and while i should have crashed like 2hrs ago i NEED to know whether it works :P [07:23] XiaolinDraconis: i have no idea, since i've never done something that disastrous [07:23] XiaolinDraconis: you could boot to root recovery console and rename your profile folder and then delete your current user, then create a user with the same name, rename back, then chown the profile to the new user (even though it has the same name) [07:23] raylu: I think I missed those steps (not that I know how to do them) [07:24] raylu: does ^ sound good? [07:24] bullgard4: yes, but i can also differentiate between english and good english and was trying to help you by possibly providing you with an easier means of communication [07:24] Action has a plan [07:24] ActionParsnip: yes, but other changes could have been made [07:24] now i gotta find out how to backup my settings [07:24] hi [07:24] XiaolinDraconis: just wait to see if anyone says its a bad call [07:24] i suppose its worth a try [07:24] raylu: ah, dang [07:24] since nothing can really get worse :P [07:24] hi everybody [07:25] If I use 9.04 beta, will it be updated and upgraded to official version after I preform this operations in 15 days when it'll be official? [07:25] Ketrel: er... ok, you said that you couldn't unload it. by that, i took it to mean you were modprobe -r -ing something? [07:25] XiaolinDraconis: or you could try using uid 1000 and gid 1000, assuming your account was the account made during installation [07:25] i wouldnt need to go to recovery console since i still have the real root account to login to [07:25] guja: yes, yuo will upgrade into the full release when it finally arrives [07:25] lstarness i tried doing that [07:26] XiaolinDraconis: yes as you will then be a different user and any files will not be locked [07:26] it gave me a bunch of errors at login such as couldnt create HOME/g [07:26] I tried to write a if condition where one string is compared to two other string with the operator "eq" and "and" but it doesnt seem to work. Does anybody knows another way of writting it? [07:26] ActionParsnip, thanks for the answer. [07:26] XiaolinDraconis: wll root wont give you that grief [07:27] nope root account is fine [07:27] i have two root accounts now [07:27] XiaolinDraconis: those files are massively system sensitive dude, stuff like xorg.conf and smb.conf are quite disposable, user authentication and permissions messing about I would steer VERY clear of [07:27] Aloe: show us the actual script? [07:28] if ($geneID eq $geneIDl and $interactant eq $geneIDl ) [07:28] { [07:28] [07:28] print OUTFILE"gene1 exist"; [07:28] } [07:28] Aloe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:28] XiaolinDraconis: as the account you have is screwed but I'm guessing you want to keep your user data I would do it in recovery mode with a fully functioning account [07:28] ok [07:28] Aloe: use pastebin, imagine if all 1300 of us did that, the channel would be pointless. think next time [07:28] my root account is fully funstional [07:29] actually all accounts are fine [07:29] sorry guys [07:29] Aloe: i think you want [ instead of ( and -eq instead of eq and "&&" instead of "and" [07:29] i just cant revert to being a normal user [07:29] wont happen again [07:29] or it gets crazy [07:29] XiaolinDraconis: its my suggestion, you are the implementor [07:29] oh yes i am listening [07:29] Can You tell me please how to list all local disks (not partitions) in terminal? Thank You! [07:29] and your idea sounds good to me [07:30] Hi guys, I have an old laptop I can't find the way to change the brightness of the built-in LCD monitor. Is there somewhere in Ubuntu 8.10 that I can go ahead and change the settings? Thanks in advance. [07:30] jurism: mount shows all mount points, sudo fdisk -l shows all disks (and patitions), and df -h may help you [07:30] XiaolinDraconis: so go make your move [07:30] *partitions [07:30] Thank You!

[07:31] ActionParsnip: bash [07:31] raylu: I'm adjusting my timing to 1000Hz for Asterisk [07:32] XiaolinDraconis: it will be in you home folder [07:32] ActionParsnip: (i think) [07:32] raylu: that way, zap-dummy doesn't abuse my USB controller for timing [07:32] brunner: what does the help for that option say? [07:32] raylu: I thought bash used brackets for if statements, ot parenthesis [07:32] ActionParsnip: hey thanks for the help yesterday. my pc is half sorted, can at least watch videos now. [07:32] brunner: oh wait, it's a whole category [07:33] raylu: yeah [07:33] thnx guys [07:33] Aloe: you'll need fi at the end of the pastebin to close the if statement [07:33] psypher246: awesome [07:33] Yeah.. thanks for me too ActionParsnip... I installed the CWIRC [07:33] with your help [07:33] Thanks [07:33] so just back it up from a seperate account and then delete it and recreate it [07:33] and copy back over [07:33] sound right>?

[07:34] XiaolinDraconis: if you simply rename it so the home folder no longer matches the user name you have a winner [07:34] brunner: magic sysrq is fun :D. but i guess not. then again, i'm not sure [07:34] this is perl [07:34] Our world might be turning more round [07:34] Aloe: oh............. [07:34] got ya [07:34] Ketrel: er, there's actually a b43 module? [07:34] VE2EBP: as long as it doesnt accellerate the end of the world right ;) [07:35] guys what is the shortcut of "go back back" in Firefox in ubuntu? in windows it is backspace... how about in Ubuntu? [07:35] Ketrel: you'll need to be root to do that. i also recommend invoke-rc.d networking stop [07:35] Ketrel: before doing that [07:35] 3 more years to go [07:35] alt+left [07:35] What do you think about planet x [07:35] booo: its alt+left arrow [07:35] boooo: maybe alt+left [07:35] wow thanks...

[07:44] ok i have one problem with ur idea action [07:44] showers: oh, you have qt stuff installed. install qalculate then [07:44] tar xvfz tightvnc-1.3.10_unixsrc.tar.gz [07:45] raylu: after unloading b43, it's blank [07:45] jurism: um, he probably should be installing from repos [07:45] gspca is the driver it uses and apparently registers it as flexcam 100 (its not but it works.. somewhat) ne ideas how to finish the fixin it. [07:45] since the files read that they are owned by root.. when i copy them back over my newly created account wont they be unusable? [07:45] jurism, i did that scroll back and see the error [07:45] Ketrel: hm... ok. what was the module you wanted to replace it with? [07:45] jurism: Sorry, I don't know anything about those storage things :) (I can destroy then, that's about it.) [07:45] raylu: that's what I've been asking [07:45] jurism: what do you mean you cannot 'see' it? fdisk -l? === ndan is now known as nadan [07:46] Ketrel: o.0... [07:46] yes it shows only system disk [07:46] will someone tell mem that can u set beryl sphere as screensaver? [07:46] Ketrel: oh yeah, fwcutter. b43-fwcutter, i thought [07:46] ActionParsnip: this may sound stupid but where do I write that? [07:46] raylu: that's a program not a module [07:46] btw if neone does respond about the webcam thing please refer to nadan... (my screen flashes n it made me change my nick) [07:46] Ketrel: it should have unpacked a module, right? [07:47] Hey guys. Is there any simple way to fix the behaviour of 'su' in hardy? It doesn't seem to load the user environment as it does in older versions [07:47] Aloe: where you type the text you type to me [07:47] Nom-: su -, maybe [07:47] i have an issue where my external hdd will not mount with any write access, no matter what options i put into my fstab [07:47] raylu: Yeah, it doesn't work... it doesn't load the user environment [07:47] raylu: I have no idea, the wiki pretty much is mute after telling you to download it [07:47] Nom-: even with the -? [07:47] ray: fwcutter means firmware cutter. b43-fwcutter is a program to cut your firmware out of the loop so that your kernel module will work. [07:47] Aloe: it's only a stupid question if you already know and are just bustin my chops to waste my time :) [07:47] Yes, even with the - [07:47] moin [07:47] Ketrel: have you run it? [07:47] Nom-: strange; no idea [07:47] raylu: ¯\(°_o)/¯ [07:48] I don't have a clue what to do with it [07:48] ActionParsnip: i have a possible problem with your idea [07:48] I did download one from opensource.net the name says 'JavaScientificCalculator-2-0.3-Linux-x86-Install which I dragged onto the termial but it was rejected [07:48] before mounting, /media/drive is drwxrwxrwx after it changes to drwxr-xr-x [07:48] XiaolinDraconis: sup [07:48] join #perl [07:48] Is there any way to make a program get rid of it's hidden files when I uninstall it? [07:48] I was going to suggest using sudo -i -u, but that complains when you try to run standard commands like 'perl' [07:48] Ketrel: so you installed a package b43-fwcutter, right? is there an app by that name? [07:48] ActionParsnip: the profile is owned by root [07:48] hecklingfext: modify its mount options [07:48] Ketrel: if not, dpkg -L b43-fwcutter [07:48] use /join #perl [07:48] regarding wifi and networkmanager, if you enter the wireless key for a router on one user account, how can you make that key for that router work the same when a different user account logs in? (so that it auto-connects) [07:49] #perl [07:49] ActionParsnip: i have in fstab to all possibilities i can think of [07:49] XiaolinDraconis: then you will need to be root, use root recovery conole and you will be the owner (root) [07:49] raylu: yes, but I see no guide on what to do WITH the app [07:49] ActionParsnip: so when i paste it overtop the newly created profile wont it be in-accessible [07:49] hecklingfext: you could add uid=1000 as an extra option [07:49] Ketrel: if you simply run it, it will extract the module [07:49] ActionParsnip: it worked formatted in fat32 with umask=0000, but once i formatted into ext3 no cigar [07:49] raylu: no, it prints a menu [07:50] which tells me switches to extract the firmware [07:50] (from WHAT) [07:50] ActionParsnip: do i type: join #perl (??) [07:50] Ketrel: hm... sorry, no idea [07:50] XiaolinDraconis: well thats why you chown -R /home/ when you copy it back (you will need to replace with the username you are playing with0 [07:50] Ketrel: though this sounds vaguely familiar [07:50] Aloe: you type /join #perl [07:51] ActionParsnip: thats a lot of files to chown [07:51] XiaolinDraconis: then its gonna take a while [07:51] is there a way to batch chown a folder [07:51] ActionParsnip: Thanks [07:51] XiaolinDraconis: thats what -R does [07:51] ooh kool [07:51] thnx [07:51] XiaolinDraconis: why were you playing with hugely system sensitive files when you are CLEARLY a linux novice? [07:51] ActionParsnip: same issue [07:51] my friend installed fedora over debian with a separate /home. debian, like ubuntu, uses uid=1000. fedora uses 500. it had to chown a few hundred files... [07:52] XiaolinDraconis: just curious [07:52] but instead of using chown, it used a python script [07:52] to do it. one. by. one. [07:52] raylu: haha nice [07:52] can anyone take a quick look at the end of this to tell me why I'm having trouble getting this kernel to compile? http://pastebin.com/mffa9e13 [07:52] ActionParsnip: mount shows /dev/sdc1 on /media/backups type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,relatime) [07:53] I only changed two options, and the issue seems to be related to the parameters I'm passing when I try to compile, not the source of the kernel itself. [07:53] brunner: isn't there a config option to do the '-7-1-brunner' thing? [07:53] ActionParsnip: hmm i tried to delete it but it tells me adminstrator account cant be deleted [07:53] hecklingfext: ket me websearch [07:53] <_motti_> hi all. [07:53] raylu: perhaps, could there be one that I'm not aware of? [07:53] _motti_: it seems i was wrong about earlier [07:53] XiaolinDraconis: you dont need to delete it, just rename it, rename /home/ [07:54] raylu: it also didnt go.But thanks anyway [07:54] ActionParsnip: more info, im running jaunty 64bit. Dont know if that helps [07:54] XiaolinDraconis: or cp the folder to a new name, then delete the user [07:54] brunner: i'm pretty sure there was one in 2.6.27... but i'm not sure entirely [07:54] raylu: I think the card is completely unsupported [07:54] !jaunty | hecklingfext [07:54] <_motti_> raylu, it's funny, it looks like you were right. I have noticed there are other bug report titled as a feature request [07:54] Ketrel: then ndiswrapper [07:54] <_motti_> never mind that I got a new question [07:54] ActionParsnip: i renamed the accounts folder [07:54] which I have no idea how to use >.< [07:54] _motti_: heh, ok :D [07:54] raylu: Iĺl have to go now,Iĺl think about it later. [07:54] !ndiswrapper | Ketrel [07:54] Ketrel: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:55] Ketrel: simply put, ndiswrapper -i [windows install .inf], modprobe, done [07:55] Ketrel: the hard part is getting the correct windows installer [07:55] <_motti_> any way, I'm trying to use my home computer (linux mint, soon to be ubuntu 9.04) into a small ftp server so I could access files from other machines [07:55] ActionParsnip: was that factoid supposed to do something? [07:55] especially without net access on that machine [07:56] !jaunty [07:56] Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 23rd, 2009 - Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April 23rd - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [07:56] hecklingfext: ^ [07:56] XiaolinDraconis: then cp it to a new name. you may have to play with the account some so its deleteable, you've really messed this up dude. it's gonna take a lot of diggin [07:56] <_motti_> and I'm not sure how to do it. I have listed my machine in dyndns servers but I can't see any files. ftp://yotam1.myphotos.cc [07:56] hecklingfext: jaunty isnt supported here [07:56] Ketrel: oh... heh. that's always fun [07:56] hecklingfext: so yes it issupposed to and DOES do something [07:56] Can someone tell me please what's wrong with my hard drive if after restart it not showing up in system (fdisk -l)? Some debug from syslog: Apr 8 09:07:54 ubuntu kernel: [ 17.245836] ata3: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) Apr 8 09:07:54 ubuntu kernel: [ 17.745014] ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) . ata4 is my system disk and it's working fine [07:56] hecklingfext: you should read it [07:56] _motti_: are you behind a router? [07:57] Is there a application to edit psd files ? [07:57] jurism: dont paste like that it scrolls the channel [07:57] ActionParsnip: i did, i was just mentioning that it didnt show anything w/ the pipe there [07:57] hecklingfext: my bad [07:57] scared off the bot lol [07:57] <_motti_> yes.

You could recreate the account as a user, then delete that gracefully so that the last bits of the account are removed [08:00] Makefile:528: /root/src/linux-source-2.6.27/arch/xen/Makefile: No such file or directory [08:00] any idea what's up with that?

[08:00] passwords are wierd in ubuntu [08:00] Help please ... I was trying to install (LOTS) of package upgrades and got the warning that three of them are "Broken" and I should use that "Broken" as a filter to locate them. I have no real idea how to DO that, nor what to do next... maybe delete them ? Flannel, are you available to help ?? [08:00] XiaolinDraconis: Why do you think so? [08:00] when i installed it allowed me to use a 1 character password [08:01] raylu: I don't want to. I just want AMD64 [08:01] but after install no accounts can have anythingless than 6 [08:01] XiaolinDraconis: that is discouraged in jaunty [08:01] brunner: pretty sure there's a config...somewhere... for that... [08:01] jaunty? [08:01] <_motti_> raylu. so should I give up [08:01] XiaolinDraconis: th next release, weak passwords are pointless [08:01] _motti_: is the ftpd running? [08:01] Hello, [08:01] true i would rather have no password [08:02] if you don't want a password, use autologin [08:02] do any one know how to back the default setting? [08:02] XiaolinDraconis: then your system is massively vulnerable to attacks and poisoning [08:02] you can void your sudo password with NOPASSWD in the sudoers file [08:02] <_motti_> raylu, I'm bot sure. I think so. I'm using vsftpd [08:02] I am searching for a tool that can display all dns information for a domain. which one do you suggest? === superL is now known as _MaRdUK_ [08:02] _motti_: pgrep -l ftp [08:02] http://pastebin.com/m2ebae410 [08:02] today is the first day i google about security [08:02] _motti_: also, netstat -lt [08:03] sounds quite difficult in linux [08:03] XiaolinDraconis: what is difficult? [08:03] dandre: host is the short and simple one. nslookup is a bit more complicated. dig goes all the way. also, whois [08:03] security [08:03] security in linux is EASY. It comes by default. Getting rid of it takes work and knowing what you're doing [08:03] <_motti_> 30664 vsftpd [08:03] lol apparently getting rid of it is easier [08:04] AK_Dave: you missed the conversation earlier :D [08:04] XiaolinDraconis: its really not, just have a half decent password and use sudo. Security done [08:04] cause i managed to do it without any knowledge [08:04] _motti_: can you connect to it locally? [08:04] XiaolinDraconis, just pick a good root password and yer set [08:04] i have a good password [08:04] seems hard to me anyways [08:04] XiaolinDraconis: the fact that you wre sudo gives you full reign over yur system so you are free to screw it up (as you have done now) [08:04] and every website says its strong when i choose it [08:05] <_motti_> in both cases I see a white screen (both when ftping my local ip and when I'm ftping my url) [08:05] hello all... my machine is in the DMZ, iptables has been disabled, yet my ports still appear stealthed to the internet, what gives?\ [08:05] raylu: I haven't found how to use dig, host or nslookup for that. I have only been able to get the top level A record (for instance domain.com) [08:05] XiaolinDraconis: when you use sudo, linux will not save your own bad actions from yourself [08:05] so if i can use sudo couldnt the attacker as well? === joey_ is now known as TML [08:05] XiaolinDraconis: only if they have your password [08:05] dandre: "dig domain.com" gives me 3 ns records and 2 A records [08:05] i should prolly change roots password then [08:05] dandre: host gave me domain.com's mailserver [08:05] XiaolinDraconis: no dont [08:06] yes but I want all A, CNAME, ... feilds [08:06] XiaolinDraconis: root account is disabled so any attack on that account wiill have 0% chance of success [08:06] why not? [08:06] <_motti_> raylu. in both cases I see a white screen (both when ftping my local ip and when I'm ftping my url) [08:06] XiaolinDraconis, unless you've assigned root a password, there is no pw [08:06] _motti_, I don't know what you are using but gproftp has been the easiest for me to setup and configure [08:06] the account is just locked, as ActionParsnip said [08:06] oh yeah i gave root a one char password [08:06] which i just now changed [08:06] * ActionParsnip facepalms === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [08:06] _motti_: um... what ftp client are you using? [08:06] XiaolinDraconis, you can disable root again. I'd recommend it [08:07] how do i disable it? [08:07] XiaolinDraconis: i STRONGLY reccomend it [08:07] <_motti_> firefox [08:07] XiaolinDraconis, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:07] Madpilot: do you know the command? [08:07] neat [08:07] or ask the bot [08:07] <_motti_> raylu: firefox [08:07] root account with a 1 char pass, thats classic [08:07] ubottu, root | ActionParsnip [08:07] ActionParsnip: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:07] _motti_: uh... try using 'ftp localhost' in the terminal [08:07] lol 1 char pass [08:08] Can someone please help me out I'm new to Linux/Ubuntu and I'm trying to mount a slave drive I formatted in ext4 through gparted but it doesn't show up in Filemaster>Places any help is appreciated [08:08] open terminal [08:08] dandre: "dig domain.com CNAME" seems to have worked [08:08] type mount -a [08:08] that will mount all available media [08:08] i couldnt access my ext4 partition from my hardy login [08:08] XiaolinDraconis: that applies only to entries in /etc/fstab [08:08] ooh [08:09] drmrhorse: i don't believe hardy has ext4 support. nor does intrepid [08:09] sure doesnt [08:09] i was just talking like [08:09] Help please ... I was trying to install (LOTS) of package upgrades and got the warning that three of them are "Broken" and I should use that "Broken" as a filter to locate them. I have no real idea how to DO that, nor what to do next... maybe delete them ? [08:09] thahauss: You just now formatted it. okay, so unplug it and plug it back in fresh. [08:09] Don_Miguel: didn't you have this issue like... months earlier? [08:09] similar, yep ! [08:09] Hello all... My machine is in the DMZ and I have iptables disabled, yet my ports still appear closed when I test them.... what gives??? [08:09] AK_Dave, its a Sata drive [08:09] lol 1 char root password... [08:09] Don_Miguel-- open up synaptic package manager and click...fix broken [08:10] Baskt_Case: the ports won't open until something starts listening on them [08:10] i am happy to have given all a good laugh [08:10] XiaolinDraconis, I tried what you told me but its still not showing in places any ides? [08:10] like my torrent client [08:10] yeah action said i was wrong [08:10] it only applies to entries in fstab file [08:10] i kno... and when i check the port while the client is running, it still appears closed [08:10] so i killed iptables [08:10] and still no go [08:11] raylu, this FIX has something we missed MONTHS ago ! https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-January/104520.html [08:11] maybe he can go to /dev ? [08:11] Xcell, thanks ! [08:11] gah worked it out [08:11] thahauss: right click a panel [08:11] and then select "add to panel" [08:11] lstarnes, any ideas? [08:11] Someone had the bright idea of aliasing su to "su -m" as part of our production auto install CD [08:12] I had a ubuntu-server install, i installed xserver-xorg, configured it, now when i run startx screen goes black, and i endup on the same terminal with "Fatal server error, no screens found, XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":).0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 vents remaining." Any ideas? [08:12] So behaviour was broken [08:12] and then find the disk mounter [08:12] error404notfound: why install server if you are going to put an xserver on it? [08:12] Don_Miguel: ah... we should have moved /var/lib/dpkg/info instead of all of /var/lib/dpkg. strange error [08:12] XiaolinDraconis, ok I added disk mounter [08:13] ActionParsnip, just doing a test, whats wrong with it? i will remove it once i get it running and do a little work.. [08:13] now you "should" have little icons to click [08:13] Nom-: interesting [08:13] XiaolinDraconis: If his drive isn't showing up in Nautilus, it won't show up on that little panel applet. [08:13] Anyone ever setup ircd-hybrid before? i can't connect past motd [08:13] raylu, we tried LOTS of variations .. but missed the part that fixed it ... [08:13] error404notfound: ok, just seems pointless installing server to put x on it, thats one of the features of the server install [08:14] hi [08:14] hmmm [08:14] i google this one [08:14] Gparted shows it as formatted but unmounted [08:14] my issue isn't that i shouldnt be installing it, coz believe me i know, but it gives this error.. [08:14] * Don_Miguel switching computers for a bit to try Xcell's suggestion with synaptic [08:15] thahaus: sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart [08:15] AK_Dave, ok done [08:15] raylu: what domaine have you tested? [08:15] raylu: Not really, but thanks for saying so :) [08:15] error404notfound: let me websearch [08:16] ActionParsnip, /me is also on google :D [08:16] what is the restricted component for in an ubuntu repository?

[08:23] must take ages [08:23] brunner: on my laptop it took ~10 mins [08:23] brunner: depends on cpu, ram and hard drive speed [08:24] ActionParsnip: 8 64-bit Opteron cores, 16GB of RAM, two RAID 1 15K SAS drives [08:24] brunner: with make -j9, like 60 seconds [08:24] brunner: i'd call about 10 mins tops [08:25] 8 x cpu, damn, yeah abou 2 mins [08:25] I set the CONCURRENCY_LEVEL to 8 [08:25] ActionParsnip, i have a xorg.conf using vesa [08:26] even tried with vmware [08:26] I need a faster server =/ [08:27] <_motti_> raylu: could it be relevant to inetd? [08:27] <_motti_> Hassanakevazir: I tried your app but I couldn't find any man for it, or a gui [08:29] error404notfound: you could try: sudo apt-get install fluxbox [08:29] im trying to install my nvidia driver using given command sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.44-pkg2.run and the error im getting says install as root [08:29] error404notfound: that will give you a low footprint DE too [08:29] i just needed X :( [08:30] Burntresistor: sudo [08:30] _motti_: if vsftpd is running as an inetd daemon, yes [08:30] haha [08:30] _motti_: but unless you're using inetd for at least 1 other daemon, i'd recommend you try and run it as a normal daemon [08:31] hello everyone [08:31] error404notfound: you could run the command and read what other packages will be installed, see what looks good [08:32] error404notfound: then cancel the install and install individual packages [08:32] (that's what aptitude -s is for) [08:32] (and you don't even need to be root :D) [08:35] <_motti_> raylu: could it be that I have inetd running and I don't know of? [08:36] _motti_: it would only matter if vsftpd was set to run as an inetd daemon or if inetd was listening on 22. in either case, netstat -tl will help you [08:36] <_motti_> ~pastebin [08:37] <_motti_> raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/146747/ [08:38] _motti_: try netstat -tlp [08:38] _motti_: also, it looks like whatever's listening on ftp is listening for all addresses, so it's not a localhost-only issue but a port-forwarding issue [08:39] <_motti_> it looks the same [08:39] _motti_: shouldn't there be a pid/program name column? [08:40] <_motti_> raylu: you are right of course. [08:40] <_motti_> raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/146749/ [08:41] <_motti_> raylu: I have played around with configuration las night, could it be that I have blocked outside ip's? [08:41] _motti_: again, it looks like it's listening for all addresses [08:41] _motti_: pgrep -l inetd [08:42] <_motti_> no result [08:42] well that didnt work [08:42] ok, not definitive that it's not an inetd, but i'd say that it's a port forwarding issue now [08:42] <_motti_> raylu: so I need to configure my router? [08:43] _motti_: yep. wait, you have tried to do that already, right? [08:43] hey guys.. i got a few 100 files which have a .htm-extension - however, i want that extension to be removed.. how do i do that? i thought of something like mv *.htm /bla/*-htm [08:43] i'm fine with a tool, too [08:44] Machtin: for $file in . [08:44] <_motti_> raylu: As I wrote at the beginning, I thought I should but I didn't find any reference for it on the web [08:45] file=${file%.htm} [08:45] er, wait... [08:45] raylu: mind giving me a complete command? i don't want to mess it up [08:46] <_motti_> raylu: What should I configure, the port forwarding or the virtual server? [08:46] Machtin: http://rafb.net/p/dy7VKd46.html [08:46] Machtin: echo will show you what that script is doing. if it works, take out the echo [08:46] _motti_: er, those are normally terms for the same thing, right? [08:47] raylu: save as bash-script-file? [08:47] ActionParsnip: should i have used chmod on it as well? [08:47] <_motti_> raylu: If I knew, I wouldn't ask you. I'm searching the web for router configuration. [08:48] Machtin: yes. but i think i screwed that up; one sec [08:48] XiaolinDraconis: you could use: sudo chmod -R 750 /home/ [08:48] raylu: take your time :) i think "file" should be something like $file, %file, no? [08:49] and noext next.. i think [08:49] ActionParsnip: i believe i need 644 [08:49] Machtin: no and no. noext is a variable [08:49] ok [08:49] Machtin: and ${file%.htm} strips the last ".htm" http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/refcards.html#AEN21811 [08:50] XiaolinDraconis: 6 = read + write, surely you want execute priveledges on your own data? [08:50] Machtin: do these filenames have spaces in them? [08:50] <_motti_> raylu: here is first line from a documentation about virtual server of some router company "Virtual Server, also referred to as Port forwarding or port mapping can be setup with the router." [08:50] raylu: nope [08:50] _motti_: ^^. try portforward.com [08:50] ActionParsnip: ooh i dont know what the numbers do i just read 644 at login [08:50] Machtin: http://rafb.net/p/EiSvTq90.html [08:50] XiaolinDraconis: and why does anyone outside your own group need access? [08:51] ActionParsnip: 4 = read, isn't that standard? [08:51] raylu: thanks :) [08:51] ActionParsnip: i have no idea what the numbers mean [08:51] Machtin: it didn't blow anything up? [08:51] raylu: on his home folder with his ssh keys and emails and stored firefox passwords, not in my book [08:52] raylu: didn't test yet [08:52] XiaolinDraconis: 7 = 4 + 2 + 1 == read, write and execute, [08:52] ok === serenity is now known as s3r3n1t7 [08:52] raylu: just wondering how to use it.. [08:52] XiaolinDraconis: 5 = 4 + 1 = read and execute [08:52] Machtin: put it in a text file and either chmod +x it or run "sh filename" [08:53] ah, and it just needs to be in that folder? [08:53] i don't have to give * as argument or sth? [08:53] Machtin: nope. that's what the *.htm is for [08:53] Machtin: you could make it foo/bar/*.htm [08:53] wonderful, thanks [08:53] XiaolinDraconis: so the owner will have full access, the members of the group owner will have read and execute access, the rest has zero access [08:54] can you tell me where Linux keeps shortcuts and paths to programs in the terminal ? [08:54] dawid: what shortcuts? paths are in $PATH [08:54] dawid: echo $PATH [08:54] wonderful.. worked :) thanks raylu [08:54] Machtin: nice [08:54] hi, how could I change the mysql user ID correctly ? [08:54] actually I change it manually in /etc/passwd and /etc/group and now the server refuse to start [08:54] this sounds familiar... [08:54] ActionParsnip: now its a little clearer [08:55] raylu: doesnt it just :( [08:55] each day i have to open a terminal, do ssh user@ip then put in a password, then once connected have todo su user, then another command and then another command. Is there any way to automate this at all? [08:55] if i write "mc" it will search for mc in $PATH ? [08:55] lyhana8: why would you want to do that? [08:55] AdvoWork: yes, but are you prepared for the security risk? [08:55] AdvoWork: if you are ssh-ing to an ubuntu box I would use sudo -i [08:55] ActionParsnip: so why not 700? [08:56] Boohbah: to share DB among my gentoo and my kubuntu. Work fine with gentoo but not on ubuntu [08:56] ActionParsnip, su is only to switch from user to user, no need for the sudo pass on that [08:56] XiaolinDraconis: sure if yuo want nobody but the owner to have access (and sudo of course) [08:56] AdvoWork: edit your ~/.ssh/config by adding the following two lines: [08:56] dawid, yes [08:56] AdvoWork: Host 12.34.56.78 [08:56] AdvoWork: User asdf [08:56] s3r3n1t7: true, just used to people thinking sudo su is good [08:56] AdvoWork: that's the not-a-security-risk part. [08:57] lyhana8: if you change the uid then any files will still be owned by the old uid. you will have to chown them [08:57] sorry to intrude.. is any one here a expert with gnucash? [08:57] lyhana8: um... the other OSs can connect to the mysqld... that's... the point... [08:57] ActionParsnip, got the same thoughts ... then read it again and didn't see the sudo there (then again, todo made me read sudo first) [08:57] s3r3n1t7: yeah same. oh well [08:58] raylu: yep i want to work on the same DB on both OS [08:58] lyhana8: right... [08:58] lyhana8: so apps on the other OS open tcp connection the mysqld on the first OS and it gets access to the exact same data [08:59] ActionParsnip: im going to try it again but is there a way to get back to login screen if it fails? [08:59] raylu: i think we need to find these guides telling users to edit the passwd file, seems quite prevelent [08:59] raylu: both OS are on the same laptop === Kyosuke_Kiryu is now known as Hell_Kaiser [08:59] lyhana8: oh... [08:59] XiaolinDraconis: startx once logged in at terminal, or sudo gdm start [08:59] lyhana8: i have no idea what to tell you then. [08:59] x will already be started === Hell_Kaiser is now known as Avada [09:00] if i login it kinda works [09:00] <_motti_> raylu: from portforward.com This router has two different sections that allow you to forward ports. One section allows you to forward a range of ports, and the other allows you to forward a single port. To forward a range of ports, click Port Forwarding. To forward a single port, click Virtual Server. [09:00] ActionParsnip: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start might better [09:00] but i get no panel [09:00] or right click [09:00] raylu: that too ;) [09:00] _motti_: you'll want to forward 22 for now. eventually, you might want to configure passive ftp on a range of ports [09:00] where I can find guys working on the mysql's ubuntu version ? [09:00] ctrl+alt+backspace will get me a terminal right? [09:01] lyhana8: #ubuntu-dev, maybe [09:01] XiaolinDraconis: it will restart your x-server [09:01] XiaolinDraconis: maybe. [09:01] for a tty try ctrl+alt+f<1-6> [09:01] i couldnt do anything in tty [09:01] XiaolinDraconis: sure if its already running [09:01] since user was still logged in and using x [09:02] XiaolinDraconis: ctrl+z will stop a job without killing it [09:02] sometimes. [09:02] XiaolinDraconis: you might need /etc/init.d/kdm stop [09:02] raylu, it will pause a job [09:02] lyhana8: mysql ubuntu version? [09:02] s3r3n1t7: technically, it becomes a 'stopped' job. sometimes. [09:02] +sudo [09:02] s3r3n1t7: and it's sigstop anyway. [09:02] hi [09:02] beli: yep [09:03] raylu, yeah true .. but it's confusing, since most people associate stop with kill [09:03] s3r3n1t7: by the way, which is more powerful, kill or term? [09:03] ok ill go give this a try [09:03] lyhana8: mysql devels have their own ubuntu release? [09:03] i'd say kill! [09:03] beli: no, but ubuntu devels do [09:03] raylu, kill can't be blocked, term can [09:03] s3r3n1t7: ok. i can never remember which is which [09:04] raylu, assuming you mean kill as in kill -9 [09:04] raylu: i can't follow you.....any webinformation about that? [09:04] i mean kill as in SIGKILL. i can remember kill -9, but i forget which it sent [09:04] ActionParsnip, why sudo -i? [09:04] beli: almost every single ubuntu package has been at least slightly modified by ubuntu devs [09:04] raylu, i dont want any security risks really, so will editing .ssh/config and doing what you suggested fix that? [09:04] beli: even if it's just adding 'ubuntu' somewhere to the version string [09:04] raylu, yeah, -9 sends kill signal, ==> KILL 9 exit cannot be blocked [09:04] AdvoWork: i misread your question, my bad [09:05] s3r3n1t7: -9 is SIGKILL [09:05] AdvoWork: thought you were using sudo su which isnt advised [09:05] AdvoWork: it will make it so that ssh 12.34.56.78 equivalent to ssh asdf@12.34.56.78 [09:05] beli: what do you mean ? [09:05] sarmisak, i know [09:05] s3r3n1t7: -9 is the biggest hammer, no foolin [09:05] AdvoWork: if you want to avoid typing the ip all the time, you could then make an alias for 'ssh 12.34.56.78' or make an environment variable for 12.34.56.78 [09:05] ActionParsnip, yup [09:06] s3r3n1t7: and with -1 it kills everything [09:06] raylu: he was speaking of an ubuntu version done my mysql folks... [09:06] sarmisak, i know .... [09:06] maybe it was just a language problem then... [09:06] beli: i'm pretty sure that's not what he meant [09:06] raylu: thats what i was wondering about [09:06] hi all, could anyone give me a link to download a ubuntu iso image distribution that was shipped with gcc-2.95 ? [09:07] lyhana8: what about ubuntus mysql package? any problems? [09:07] raylu, AdvoWork: actually i heard of this thing called the Domain Name System which among other things, translates names to ip addresses so you don't have to remember the number. great idea huh? [09:07] ...by 2.95, did you mean 3.3? === scfh_ is now known as scfh [09:07] who knows an out-of-the-box working draft n (300mbit) wlan usb-stick? [09:07] scuser: as far as i know, not even debian supports that gcc anymore [09:07] * beli detex: man 7 signal for more information about signals [09:08] <_motti__> raylu: Now, when I try to access my machine using my url I get an empty line [09:08] exco: tough one, have you googled for linux compatible hardware lists? [09:08] !hcl | exco [09:08] exco: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [09:08] tada! [09:08] _motti__: by access, you don't mean 'open the url in firefox,' do you? [09:08] beli: yep it seem to have different config than the gentoo one as on gentoo changing: mysql user ID+files permissions was enough [09:08] ActionParsnip: that was what I was looking for ;) [09:08] XiaolinDraconis: all good [09:08] ? [09:08] raylu: could I find some distribution with gcc less than 3.3, may be 3.2 or even less [09:08] ty ty [09:08] <_motti__> raylu no. I mean ftp url [09:08] so far all is good [09:08] <_motti__> raylu: command line [09:08] scuser: why? [09:08] sept my main menu icon is gone for some reason [09:09] lyhana8: enough todo what? what are you going to do? [09:09] _motti__: what do you mean 'your url'? [09:09] <_motti__> yotam1.myphotos.cc [09:09] <_motti__> I have listed it on dyndns [09:09] XiaolinDraconis: ok well from now on. DO NOT mess with that file. EVER [09:09] XiaolinDraconis: unless it's for fun [09:09] indeed [09:10] XiaolinDraconis: ive used linux for years now and never once had to [09:10] <_motti__> raylu: yotam1.myphotos.cc [09:10] XiaolinDraconis: can you link me to the page you used as a guide please [09:10] i just didnt like the idea of not being the user who had total control over the system [09:10] _motti__: i see that. are you sure the dns entry points to the right place and the port forwarding is to the right ip? [09:10] lemme check my history [09:10] XiaolinDraconis: you do, with sudo [09:10] XiaolinDraconis: if you wanted that, you could run windows xp [09:10] Boohbah, not really, i could use that but it goes on ip, typing ssh name is no easier than typing ssh ip but i want to just click it and automate every step [09:10] raylu: I have a source code that was compiled with an old compiler which should be less than 3.3, when I try to use any higher compiler the compiler produces errors, so I installed 2.95.deb and its deps and tried recompilation but things went worse as I received gcc internal error [09:11] beli: i'm trying to share DB among gentoo and kubuntu. So i need to have the same user ID for mysql on both system. I change it on both system then i need to change the file permission to the new user ID, i did it. It work fine on gentoo, but not on kubuntu where the server refuse to start [09:11] scuser: you can probably build gcc-2.95 from source... with a higher gcc... maybe... [09:11] raylu: why would you speak such inappropriate words [09:11] children might be present [09:11] raylu: well I tried but the build failed :( [09:12] <_motti__> raylu: the router is ok. (I'm repeating messages I didn't place your name in them) [09:12] XiaolinDraconis: the point being, part of linux's security is in keeping users users and not giving the permission to muck with system files [09:12] lyhana8: what error it gives [09:12] scuser: the build of gcc-2.95? [09:12] raylu: yes [09:12] lyhana8: and are these mysql instances on difffrend computers ? [09:13] hi [09:13] lyhana8: dont mix things....permissions != uid/gid .... [09:13] XiaolinDraconis: linux uses proper access and restritedness where it is appropriate, windows default user model is admin which isnt appropriate and why they get so many issues [09:13] _motti__: then i'm not sure. either the dns entry is bad (check with the 'host' command) or your port forwarding isn't set up properly [09:13] <_motti__> raylu, and nslookup my url give the internal ip of the router [09:13] _motti__: internal ip? [09:13] lyhana8: you dont touch the permissions, but switch uid and gid [09:13] how can i set ignore case while searching for any string uppercase or lowercase in man pages ? [09:13] <_motti__> raylu: yeah, the ip I use to access my router [09:13] ActionParsnip: well, they fixed that in vista. except it asks you _after_ you try and do something and, consequently, makes people very frustrated [09:14] simplexio: the only error is the init script one: 'fail', and I don't understand why I'haven't any log [09:14] lyhana8: use chown for that.....did you create a completly new group and user for mysql? [09:14] _motti__: yotam1.myphotos.cc has address 89.139.84.55 [09:14] _motti__: that seems correct to me. is that your router's WAN ip? [09:14] beli: yeah sorry mix the terms [09:14] raylu: windows security in that way is garbage, and whats worse is that some apps actually need write access to the %WINDIR% so you have to have some form of admin power, its preposterous [09:14] ActionParsnip: yep. [09:15] beli: nop just change the uid of the current mysql [09:15] lyhana8: cat /etc/init.d/mysql and see what command it uses to start mysql, then use it command to start it and see error, or see /var/log/mysql log file if it exists, or syslog [09:15] here is the one that said to edit sudoers file [09:15] http://bobbyallen.wordpress.com/2007/01/15/how-to-give-a-standard-ubuntu-user-full-root-permissions/ [09:15] lyhana8: the init scripts are as the name says: scripts.... less /etc/init.d/mysql and see how mysql is started...do it manually on the command line and you will get some errors [09:15] raylu: classic example is organizational charts in office 2003, needs access to the windows dir to run. MS fix says "oh make them power users" [09:15] lyhana8: the uid or the username? [09:15] lyhana8: and probably ubuntu tries to start mysql as mysql user, so mysql user gid must be same as gentoo mysql user [09:15] now im looking for the one about editing passwd [09:16] beli: the UID was 122 i put 8886 [09:16] hi! i'm having problems with brother mfc680cn printer drivers under ubuntu. i get ps documents printed as row text instead of postscript. do you happen to have any hints? [09:16] lyhana8, beli: most likely because the user it's running as doesn't have permissions to create logs :P [09:16] XiaolinDraconis: can you give me us thelink if you find it, you may also want to contact them yourself to tell him / er of your experience [09:16] will do [09:16] lyhana8: thought i dont know about mysql, but postgresql uses that configuration. its allways run as postgresql user for better security [09:17] raylu: I check that too, and the mysql user was the owner of the log [09:17] lyhana8: so lemme explain....what is hardcoded to a file on linux to verify permissions is the uid and the gid....username and group are just parsed from /etc/passwd and /etc/group [09:17] XiaolinDraconis, uhm a note about that one, you can probably use the nopasswd function in the visudo file which is a lot safer. [09:18] oi [09:18] lyhana8: so you have to adjust file/dir permissions to the new uid [09:18] oi [09:18] beli: I do exactly the same process on gentoo and ubuntu, gentoo work, ubuntu doesn't === mib_ktc7lkxf is now known as kalana [09:18] lyhana8: and? maybe gentoo isnt verifying stuff on mysqld startup [09:19] alguem fala portugue [09:19] <_motti__> raylu: no, the ip has changed,I still need to configure ez-ipupdate properly. I have update my ip in the dyndns server but I still get connection refused. are you sure that 22 is the ftp port? [09:19] lyhana8: gentoo gives the user more control....thats not always good [09:19] beli: stuff like what ? the UID ? [09:19] !pr | souze [09:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about pr [09:19] !ubuntu-pr | souza [09:19] oi [09:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-pr [09:19] _motti__: er, it's 21 [09:19] lyhana8: ownership and permissions [09:19] jeez [09:19] _motti__: if i said 22, sorry. that's sftp :P [09:19] lyhana8: just start as root: /usr/sbin/mysqld [09:19] <_motti__> yeah, I just wiki it. [09:20] oi [09:20] 21 is FTP, 20 is ftp data (wasteful protocol) [09:20] <_motti__> so sftp my url should work? [09:20] souza: what? [09:20] beli: they do, i got error that make me realise that I should update the file UID [09:20] aluguem fala portuges [09:20] !pt | souza [09:20] souza: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [09:20] <_motti__> ActionParsnip: she is Portuguese [09:20] _motti__: no, you don't have an sftp daemon running [09:20] hi everybody, i'm new to linux and i have a small problem with my wifi card; it works but not to it's full potential. it's atheros N series (AR5008 (AR5416)). it doesn't use the N protocol in ubuntu 8.1, any thought of getting this to improve? i have the drivers from windows but when i try to use the ndiswrapper, i'm unable to get it working [09:20] lyhana8: just start it manually now and give me errors [09:21] _motti__: thats what !pt outputs in ;) [09:21] <_motti__> raylu: ok, router time [09:21] Xcell, see my PM, please [09:21] <_motti__> ActionParsnip: ok, sorry [09:21] lyhana8: btw....did you alter the username too? [09:21] nao sei como fazer isso [09:21] so novo aqui [09:22] beli: the mysql user name ? no [09:22] lyhana8: ok [09:23] alguem fala minha libgua ai [09:23] raylu, got a moment free ? [09:23] yes [09:23] Don_Miguel: yes [09:23] sim [09:24] souza: Eu não falo o português [09:24] beli: I'm doing the process for the 2nd time (updating UID) [09:24] bacana [09:24] vc fala sim [09:24] cx usa um tradutor?

"lsmod -v" will show you that [09:34] beli: `/usr/sbin/mysqld` did it as root [09:34] ola [09:34] mimiloon: also, modprobe -l shows you the currently installed ndiswrapper cards, so doing that after modprobing is sort of pointless [09:34] como entra numa sala no brasil? [09:34] raylu: or lsmod [09:34] mimiloon: finally, you need to do "sudo ndiswrapper -a" before modprobing... i think [09:35] raylu: ndiswrapper -l [09:35] ActionParsnip: lsmod will show you all the modules, but you have to guess which is for your card [09:35] ActionParsnip: and i'm not thinking -l, i'm thinking the one that writes the module deps [09:35] ActionParsnip: which, iirc, is -a [09:35] beli: http://pastebin.com/d1f5d0f51 [09:35] Hi [09:36] lyhana8: fix permissions to the data dir [09:36] hi i've just switched to jaunty, but i got grub 22 error BEFORE i even get to menu (clean install over hardy partition), how to solve it?

[09:37] I am trying out the Jaunty and I had a generic question [09:37] I have ext3 partitions which when moundted are writeable by 'root' only. But I wanted to be writeable by any user belonging to 'plugdev' group. Any idea how I can do that from fstab? I want to avoid the chmod command everytime I start my laptop. [09:37] mimiloon: oops, i meant "sudo ndiswrapper -m" [09:37] ActionParsnip: it shows the deps, but it doesn't show which one is the wireless module [09:37] raylu: ahhh [09:37] ActionParsnip: and ndiswrapper -m informs modprobe about the deps it's going to have... i think [09:38] imyousuf: http://pastebin.com/f32b51c7a [09:38] Can anyone suggest a really light-weight web browser that supports basic CSS AND JavaScript?

[10:16] _motti__: ok, good luck. it looks like you're setting up approximately what i did when i first really got into linux [10:16] XiaolinDraconis: if you run groups when you are your user you will see what groups it is in. the admin group gives the use of sudo [10:16] g adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape audio dip video plugdev scanner fuse lpadmin admin sambashare [10:17] I thought the password protection and encryption was sufficient but I presume port scanners could find it and hack in? [10:17] thats from groups [10:17] XiaolinDraconis: is that as you are logged in now or as your normal user? [10:17] ikonia, i know.. [10:17] but i use both lighttpd and apache [10:17] professor_: the password would protect a little bit.. not sure about the encryption part.. [10:17] this is me now my normal account [10:17] and an error message returned apache on port 80 [10:17] innociv: then look at which one is running [10:17] lighttpd should be port 80 and apache on 8080 [10:17] innociv: telnet to it [10:18] innociv: check the config files [10:18] XiaolinDraconis: then something is seriously wrong [10:18] professor_: make sure you choose a secure password. [10:18] gahhh netstat -a returned a ton [10:18] from the wiki "ou should set an SSH server up as discussed in the SSH guide and configure a VNC server that you can start in so-called once mode, as described below. When you have set up your SSH and VNC servers, you can use SSH to log in to your computer over the Internet, start your VNC server, and use port-forwarding to securely access the VNC server. " [10:18] i have 4 accounts .... 1 is root 2 are admins and 1 is unprivied [10:18] disregard [10:18] random password is no problem.. [10:18] * badfish69 sucks cock [10:18] innociv: netstat -a | grep LIST shows all listening thinks, but that won't help you identify [10:18] bye bye badfish [10:19] I guess that means I should configure a SSH server and log in via terminal to start VNC when I need it or something [10:19] seems complicated [10:19] hm yeah that isn't good [10:19] cyrylm: can I help you ? any reason your requesting ctcp info from me ? [10:19] XiaolinDraconis: you have seriously borked your system if members of admin cannot use sudo [10:19] hi all, any help with this error http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/146797/ ? [10:20] i just need to return sudoers file to original [10:20] .... i think [10:20] the Ubuntu Wiki advises against running VNC over the Internet [10:20] ikonia: just checking :) [10:20] damn [10:20] cyrylm: checking what ? [10:20] Your local time ;) [10:20] ActionParsnip: that isn't borking yet - other distros don't even have an 'admin' group. [10:21] have any idea why linux sometimes doesn't load laptop keyboard and touchpad ? Keys are working in Grub menu, but they are not working during booting and after boot in KDE [10:21] grawity: true, but thats differnt distros, so is different [10:21] professor_: that because VNC is not encrypted, you can always use a SSH tunnel and get over it [10:22] scuser: have you installed build-essential [10:22] hi all... need some help editing this file>>> /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd its a executable (application/x-executable) file , how do i open it to edit the file? [10:22] puppylinux default account is root/no passwd [10:22] macvr: why do you want to do that? [10:22] ActionParsnip: yes [10:22] ikonia: reminder, CTCPs are for your IRC client, not for the user (you). If your client shows them annoyingly, it isn't cyrylm's fault. [10:23] macvr: gksudo gedit /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osdm if you want to use a text editor. If its just a script this is fine, if its a binary, it wont work [10:23] ill brb im loggin out and coming back as root then ill get this turned around [10:23] grawity: reminder - I'm not asking you a question, I'm asking a user why he is ASKING my client for information [10:23] scuser: and do you have all the -dev dependancies of the app? [10:23] ActionParsnip: i had tried that but its a binary... ! [10:24] ActionParsnip: well I don't know that I have nothing to say which -dev dependencies that the app needs [10:24] Ubersoldat: i thought that that was the file for the notification settings... to edit it! [10:24] grawity: and FYI: if I'm displaying displeasure at it - it's best for you to not do it too [10:25] scuser: to compile apps you need all the dependancies it needs in dev format so its functinality can be compiled in, the outputs saying that certain things are undefined highlights this [10:25] scuser: you need to find out what gives the functionality for each error and install that app and its -dev file [10:25] ActionParsnip: is there a way to know so or just try and error ? [10:25] VNC supports encryption, not sure if that is sufficient though === serenity_ is now known as s3r3n1t7 [10:26] scuser: websearch an error, see what pops up [10:26] ActionParsnip, apt-get build-dep doesn't work? (just dropped in, not sure what the initial error was [10:26] hi all, can some bash wizard help me out? i want to recursively remove all files, except for the .svn folder, and except for one particular subfolder. someone did this for me before using find, but i don't remember how to do it now. thanks. [10:26] ActionParsnip: ok, thank you for your time :) [10:27] axyjo: could just cp it out, empty the folder, then copy it back [10:28] ActionParsnip: there are many subfolders, so i'd prefer a script. + the .svn folder is hidden [10:28] axyjo: find . -prune .svn | xargs rm -f [10:28] in apache2 on ubuntu, where would Listen go?.. [10:28] I recently formatted a slave drive and I can create folders using terminal on it, but I cannot using the File Browser, when I right click the options "create folder", "create document", "clean up by name", and "paste" are all greyed out. Any Ideas? [10:28] Boohbah: thanks, i'll try it out [10:28] Boohbah, doesn't that remove all the .svn folders? [10:28] s3r3n1t7: no [10:28] axyjo: doesnt matter if its hidden or not, all folders starting with . are hidden [10:30] macvr: well, it's a binary file, so you can't edit it [10:31] Boohbah: I get an error. "find: .svn: unknown option" [10:32] hi, is there any identi.ca client avaible on kubuntu ? [10:33] Hi. Have a PC (P4) that was running another distro. I'm trying to install Server 8.10 on it. Power on, boot from CD, choose language, choose "Install Ubuntu Server" - at this point the machine reboots. I'm guessing it's a hardware problem or incompatibility but thought I'd ask if anyone has seen this before I start stripping bits out to find the culprit. [10:34] stetho: sounds like a hadware issue [10:35] ikonia: I agree but I've never seen Ubuntu (or other distro) die before it's even started the install. [10:35] stetho: I've seen it many times - as to install you need a running OS to run the installers, and if the installer makes a call the hardware doesn't like, it restarts [10:37] OK. I'll have to check it by elimination then. Dull :-) [10:37] stetho: did you try booting to the live system? [10:39] That's the problem. Actually - I didn't say it explicitly, I apologise :-) I can boot the CentOS that was on there and I can boot from Kubuntu Live CD. Server dies as soon as I choose Install. [10:39] is apache2.conf the same as httpd.conf?.. [10:39] innociv: yes [10:40] hi [10:40] stetho: well, you could try installing from the LiveCD then get rid of X and install the server packages [10:40] does anyone know how to merge two directories together using shell? [10:40] innociv: it depends [10:40] Do i need Listen 8080 in apache2.conf when i have ? [10:40] innociv: no [10:41] ok [10:41] anoyne knows how to, with ppp/wvdial, choose a network provider for umts? [10:42] I'm looking for a way to change directory rights (recursive). Only the directories, not the files. Using commandline tools. Anyone got some bash magic? [10:43] Ubersoldat: I could but it that doesn't guarantee that whatever is wrong now won't come back and bite me later. I'd rather establish the cause now so I can fix it, upgrade it or get rid of it. [10:47] I'm brand new to ubuntu, I just installed / formated a slave drive which I I dont have write permission to (I know this is default) I intend to keep all my data on this drive, would it be better practice to make my account have root permission or to change the permissions on the slave drive? [10:47] thahauss: change the permission to the disk [10:47] you should look at /etc/fstab [10:47] stetho: yeah, good call [10:48] thahauss: try in console: `sudo gedit /etc/fstab` [10:48] can someone help me get my wifi to pick up Access point [10:48] thahauss: here is mine : http://pastebin.com/de2b688e [10:49] thahauss: i'm using reiserFS as filesystem so you will have some change to do if you use ext3 [10:49] lyhana8: got it working? === patrick is now known as Guest61605 [10:49] lyhana8, thank you very much I was just googling trying to figure out what in the world the command is [10:49] beli: yep [10:50] lyhana8: fine :) [10:50] beli: got some problem with debian-sys-main account but find solution.

[10:51] lyhana8: np [10:52] lyhana8, should I change myself as the owner or just change the individual permissions? please excuse my nubness [10:54] thahauss: you can try to change the ownership, if it's come back to root after a reboot you should change your fstab [10:54] how to make filer option of taxonomy as a check-box in the views [10:55] hi!

All of them will be coming with windows XP installed on them and one of them will be having a program put on, then im going ot take the image form that one and put it onto the other 45....the thing is liscensing....does clonezilla have a tool that lets the other 45 machines keep thier liscenses even tho they having an image of another machine slapped on them?

[11:04] Hi Ho! I have a gateway machine in a LAN that is synchronized to an NTP server in the Internet. All other machines in the LAN are synchronized to this gateway machine. In the /etc/ntp.conf of the gateway machine, I have `server ntp.ubuntu.com' and `server 127.127.1.0'. Next, I tried to see whether or not the gateway machine still synchronizes itself with ntp.ubuntu.com by changing its system clock a bit. It turned out that it cannot. But, if I remove `se [11:04] JC33: in my network manager it shows "wlan0" not "ath0" [11:04] rver 127.127.1.0' from its /etc/ntp.conf, it can. Any suggestion as how I should attack this problem? [11:05] Jimi, I thought cloning is for mac number or something alike; anyone, thanks for the info [11:05] try $ iwlist wlan0 scanning [11:05] nordc, no this cloning is to clone the whole operating system onto x number of machines [11:05] !adduser > XiaolinDraconis [11:05] XiaolinDraconis, please see my private message === yacc_ is now known as yacc === julian___ is now known as Knirgh [11:06] Hiya.

On the recepter, try : scp -r ip_adress_of_the_laptop:/path/to/file /path/for/recepting [12:29] Bodsda: It should ask you the password, then transfer. [12:30] If you prefer, you can do an "sshfs", which allows you to transfer file with graphical interface (nautilus). [12:31] Blue112: ok, sorry im a little confused, we are both connected to a wireless connection and are also wired together, is an 'ifconfig' command suitable for finding the correct ip address?

Is there a fix for this ? === winston is now known as Guest56308 [12:31] Bodsda: Yes, you can find out the ip address with ifconfig. [12:31] koshar1: this is compiz on kde right?

[12:48] ziroday: ok [12:48] nopes...never installed codecs..... [12:49] How do I apply the source patch at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20997#c1 ? [12:49] so far, anything i use on ubuntu, if something is missing, ubuntu asks me to download and install it, and i accept it:) [12:49] i recently bought a laptop, now my desktop ubuntu is turned into a server, ive heard there is "server edition" of ubuntu, but how much does it actually differ? is there any point in "switching" (whatever that means, something short of reinstalling i guess) to the server edition? [12:49] koshar1, i meant, what is the big fuss? But your cube looks nicer. I can see through it, Mine doesn't [12:49] hi all, whats the best way to allow all incoming connections from all ips for a certain ip address? [12:49] mizipzor: You have no graphical interface on the server edition [12:49] koshar1, do all the effects not work on all computers? I have nvidia 6500gt card [12:50] mizipzor: So you can't use it as a normal desktop computer. Be awared. [12:50] mizipzor: well it depends, what does your desktop do currently? The server edition has no GUI, and you can get all the packages the server version has on the desktop version of ubuntu [12:50] Blue112: so, uninstalling X, gnome, and such, ive pretty much got the server edition? there are no fancy changes to the kernel or anything? [12:50] mizipzor: there is a special server kernel, which you can install if you want to [12:50] livingdaylight should be enough if you have the restricted drivers working, you may get black windows if your res is to big, and your using all the gpu memory [12:50] mizipzor: It's a -server kernel, so I think there's some changed... === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [12:51] -d +s [12:52] Hi is there a webpage to list hardware ubuntu can use? [12:52] ziroday: Blue112: ok, se there seems to be a few fundamental changes, how do i "switch"? is the easiest way just to nuke the system and reinstall? although that takes away the hacker challenge ;) [12:52] livingdaylight seeing through the cube is the transparency on rotate bindidng [12:52] im also facing an issue with evolution.....earlier i was in oxfordshire and installed ubuntu and configured evoultion for my gmail account and it worked [12:52] mizipzor: simple, remove xorg and then install the server kernel. After that you are all done. [12:52] doleyb, if it can be used in linux generally it can be used in ubuntu [12:52] koshar1, i can't get the cube at an angle like you have [12:52] as soon as i have came to london and using iwreless connection, i can receive emails, but cannot send from evolution [12:53] so just look for linux compatible hardware [12:53] any idea? [12:53] ziroday: are there special server-packages? must i tell apt-get something? [12:53] mizipzor: what do you want this "server" to actually do? [12:53] livingdaylight cont alt /left mouse button then pan [12:53] * sav happy [12:53] kazaLite, is this using pop mail or imap [12:53] koshar1, i have that ticked but ... [12:53] hello [12:53] pop [12:53] koshar1, cool [12:53] kazaLite: Smtp blocked ? [12:54] and are you using sendmail to 'send mail' [12:54] could someone tell me a bit about arch [12:54] livingdaylight for the transparency you need to adjust the slider [12:54] but i get error message that smtp fails to connect [12:54] its blocked by the isp [12:54] So that's the point. [12:54] sam_: sure, in #archlinux [12:54] thanks [12:54] it says connecting to smtp.google.com timed out [12:54] guys [12:54] ziroday: uhm, nothing really, it has always hosted some svn servers and similiar... i usually just ssh into it anyway since i feel more comfortable with that than the X gui... now Ive even unhooked the monitor so i thought its time to look into what a server edition actually means :p but no, i have no clear objective with the server beyond "fun" [12:54] any one answer yes or [12:54] a lot of isps will block people connecting to the smtp server from outside their network [12:54] was wondering what are ~nameoffile are they backups? [12:54] is my isp blocking it? [12:54] no 4Gb support in desktop edition for now ? [12:54] yes [12:54] or router? [12:54] livingdaylight anyway IMHO scale is the best thing in compiz, [12:54] not the one you are connected via but your normal mail provider isp [12:55] its O2 connection here in london [12:55] check with who you use at home [12:55] koshar1, are you in London too? [12:55] mizipzor: all right then. Sure feel free to install the server kernel but you won't see really any speed improvements. Best thing to do is just remove xorg and friends if you're not going to use it and then install server stuffs as you need it [12:55] ummm.... [12:55] its ok, you just need to find a smtp server you can access [12:56] Ok, I'm gonna reboot, see you all. [12:56] mizipzor: the repos for the server and deskop version of ubuntu are exactly the same [12:56] is there a way to turn off making off the backups? [12:57] koshar1, what is scale? [12:57] !tty [12:57] To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [12:57] ziroday: they are the same, okey, so by "install server stuff" you just mean general server software? apache for example. not special server packages of said software? hope i didnt confuse you now :p [12:57] Chiliblue: I'd prefer a list of things ubuntu supports, rather than "can use". What I mean is, no installing things except from official repository. [12:58] doleyb, it doesn't sort of work like that [12:58] mizipzor: not at all. The server and desktop version get there software from the exact same source. So if you were to install apache now its the same apache you would get on a server install === dotch is now known as dotch_lunch [12:58] ok, that is strange. I have tiff supprt, but Magick++ does not process .tiff. But convert does. Does this make eny sense? [12:58] L3dPlatedLinux: can you rephrase your question please [12:58] Chiliblue: How's it sort of work? [12:58] livingdaylight no iam a long way from sheppards bush, scale is a binding that lets all the open windows scale to one screen and you can swith between apps with it, you could call it task manager on steroids [12:59] well if you just install stuff from the respository then you shouldn't have a problem [12:59] L3dPlatedLinux-> yes they are backup copies from gedit....go to edit-preferences-editor and uncheck backups [12:59] I guess if there is a list it is there [12:59] Extend: I don't think so.. unless you compile your own kernel, which isn't really the recommended way to go [12:59] Sometimes when I run aptitude install it installs without asking me if it's ok and sometimes it asks me if what it is going to install is ok. Can I force the question? Or is it that it always asks when there are dependencies that will be isntalled to and not when it's only one package? [12:59] koshar1, i'd like to try that. Where? [12:59] in nautilus when I make a file it auto makes a backup is there a way to stop and clean them out as I dont see a need for them [13:00] Slart, i know how to compile the problem is not my problem it is a user's problem, he asked in launchpad [13:00] Extend: of course.. 64 bit ubuntu can do it.. but for 32-bit you need the PAE extension.. which afaik only the server kernel uses [13:00] marlun: it only asks you if there is dependencies and/or downgrade/removals [13:00] koshar1, i can't even find slider for transparency :/ [13:00] L3dPlatedLinux -> yes they are backup copies from gedit....go to edit-preferences-editor and uncheck backups [13:00] hm I got a question kinda related to ubuntu, on my laptop running ubuntu 8.10 wine firefox the machine reboots, when I try to watch a live stream my guess is that this is related to the ATI Graphics drivers, so is there any info about this issiue? [13:00] i know about pae i searched the desktop edition packages for it but no luck only the linux image for server [13:00] . [13:00] ziroday: ok :) thanks [13:00] marlun: have fun [13:01] koshar1, transparency is 'opacify' right? and then 2nd tab misc. [13:01] Extend: mm.. I'm not really sure why it isn't an option on the desktop kernel.. performance problems perhaps.. or something else [13:01] how do you tell nautilus not put anything on the desktop? [13:01] Slart, thanks for your help [13:01] how to write a script shell [13:01] how to make an event script as mentioned on http://securityvulns.com/docs5992.html ? i quote it: "start events with your own script parsing the clamd´s log file manual" [13:02] ziroday: not sure you can.. you can tell nautilus to not draw the icons though.. or you could set suitable permissions on the desktop folder [13:02] Extend: you're welcome [13:02] ziroday: depends on what you mean by "put anything on the desktop" [13:02] hmm guess is normale behavor that ubunto reboots while watching webpages then :) [13:03] livingdaylight *tick* [13:03] Not normal behaviour [13:04] !script [13:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about script [13:04] shahost1: check your logs for error messages.. a machine rebooting by itself is not normal in any way [13:04] how do I set up an irc channel [13:04] !bash [13:04] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

I'm just being silly.. Did you have a question about ubuntu ? [13:08] jwendell: I wish it was ready :( [13:08] ah, don't say that [13:08] I need help with my internet. It stopped working the other day, and after my very best efforts (and the help of people on the forums) it is still not working... [13:09] ziroday: oh, thank you :) forgot to say [13:10] is there a command i can use tu turn a symlink ito a normal file ? [13:10] Ben-Crisford, could you expand on your problem. 'My Internet' is very vague [13:10] linny2: cp? or how do you mean? [13:10] linny2: no symlinks arnt normal files [13:10] does anybody know how to make frameless windows? [13:10] linny2: you can create a hard link but ive never used one [13:10] what is the difference between open source and free thanks [13:11] ar fluxbox lets you get pretty close, [13:11] open source is when the source code is available to anybody who wants to look at it [13:11] s4m0u: open source has the source code available for modification and allows you to compile the app providing you have its dependancies [13:11] !open source [13:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about open source [13:11] minimike150: Ah yes sorry, I was just waiting for someone to reply first... Basically, I boot ubuntu and it says i am connected to the netowrk, but I cannot ping IPs or visit webpages, or download, connect to pidgin, basicaly it says im connected, but im not... [13:11] koshar1: http://www.gentoo.org/images/shots/desktop-cadaver138.png [13:12] ar you could prolly kill metacity and it would acheive windowless apps, but you woulnt be able to minimise ect [13:12] s4m0u: something may be "free" but not open source. Like Acrobat Reader is free (no money) but is closed source [13:12] s4m0u: open source is when you can get the source code for something.. free means.. different things depending on what kind of free.. free as in speach or beer [13:12] i know they arnt normal files , but ive read this fix for a bug i have http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-grub@gnu.org/msg11061.html and the fix was 'to remove the /etc/mtab symlink and make it an ordinary file.' how would i achive this [13:12] Ben-Crisford, are you connected though wireless or ethernet? [13:12] minimike150: wireless [13:13] minimike150: it isnt the card as internet still didnt work when I used a different one [13:13] Ben-Crisford, Can you connect to the wireless network on any other computers/laptops [13:13] s4m0u: another example is flashplugin, its free to downlaod and use but adobe will not release the source (even though they should) [13:13] ar i suspect your looking at widgets on the left and the right windows have blinds minimised [13:13] ok [13:13] minimike150: every other computer is fine on the netowrk [13:13] s4m0u: all clear? [13:13] minimike150: i am connected through vista, it works in windows [13:14] ok ActionParsnip thank you [13:15] Ben-Crisford: I am no expert on this kidn of thing but I'm guessing it could be a network configuration problem on the network manager but you will have to speak to somebody else as I dont actually know :) [13:15] exit [13:15] s4m0u: np bro [13:15] minimike150: ok thanks for your help, im pretty sure its not network config, but ill look into it again... cheers again [13:15] ar and this rest is no doubt done in the wallpaper [13:16] Ben-Crisford, ok thanks [13:16] hey anyone know how to stream webcam footage over a network from /dev/video0 [13:17] do ARP requests over the LAN get logged by default? if so, where ?

I do not understand the syntax in the code box though and can find nothing concerning it. Namely, the syntax "Networking ---> Wireless --->" and [M] Improved wireless configuration api" [13:40] jrib: it was 700. I switched to 755, and now it works. I didn't think that had anything to say? [13:41] bove: apparently it does :) [13:41] bove: you need execute on parent directories [13:41] i've a question about bash scripting - i've made an 'll' alias script, which includes my most common switches.. only problem is that color is no longer output - does anyone know a work around for this? [13:41] hi [13:41] mudit, login to the tty and do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop and then do your work, for starting x just replace stop with start/restart [13:41] aaronator, you need to build your custom kernel, use make menuconfig to configure the kernel [13:42] aaronator, let me give you a link on building a custom kernel on ubuntu, hold on [13:42] jrib: thanks for your help.

Is there a command to start the instalation manual? [14:08] ActionParsnip : i have try the link and test a solution bu still the same problem. [14:08] http://pastebin.com/m3253577 - there must be something wrong in those settings. when ubuntu started with default driver it was working all fine(the screen was split, and 1920x1200 was working as its native resolution as separate screen)... now with the recommended driver it covers around half of its native res, and it displays gnome iccons on it (while it should be displayed only on main-screen 1280x... crt) [14:08] ExploWare: dies the command line say "busybox" ? [14:08] ActionParsnip: yup, i did that but nothing happened. [14:08] fn+f3 [14:09] I got some motherboard dropped [14:09] !ubuntu [14:09] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support.

[14:10] bamball: a good question, I believe it is in jaunty but not %100 [14:10] anyone here have any ideas how I can get my SVideo output working? [14:11] hey back again; the net cut out before; i'm having a go with motion atm, has anyone had any luck getting it to work on ubuntu? [14:11] I can't configure it correctly :( [14:11] anyone got a problem with laptop keyboard that sometimes doesnt work ? [14:11] ActionParsnip: it must be some script that's started if it sees a cable is connected. [14:12] I am trying to do ipconfig, some of the information is outside the screen. How do I get it scroll or display it slower? [14:12] *ifconfig [14:12] resno: ifconfig |more [14:12] ikonia: thanks [14:12] : I tried to compile my own mplayer from the multi-threaded branch.. unable to get the vo drivers [14:13] bamball: I ended up building my own also, [14:13] ikonia, the HD has windows, so it's the only option... Could it be there is a Live session started, but then for the Server edition? (btw: downloaded 8.10, server 32bit) [14:13] anyone have nay ideas here, i have tried setting up my graphics card manually [14:13] didn't help [14:13] :S [14:13] ExploWare: there isn't a live session server CD [14:14] ExploWare: when you boot - do you get a bit ubuntu logo and a menu with options ? [14:14] any ideas on how to capture terminal output when '>' redirect can't do it? [14:14] Hello, Can anyone help me with my graphics drivers they have been working fine until earlier today now i cannot watch TV nor play games. [14:14] did you end up getting it to work with xv and smplayer? [14:14] ikonia, that's what I guessed.. Yes, and there I selected install, but it also offered a live session... [14:14] bamball: I don't use either of those products [14:14] ExploWare: there is a live session option on the server CD - I can't see one [14:14] Can anyone help me with my graphics drivers they have been working fine until earlier today now i cannot watch TV nor play games. [14:14] ikonia: so what vo do u use? [14:14] jmap82: you probably just need to redirect standard error as well as output. so try "2>&1 >" instead [14:15] bamball: mplayer [14:15] the xv component does work though [14:15] Nick__: see if they uninstalled the proprietary graphics for some reason [14:15] jmap82: also, have a look at "tee". lovely program, might be useful to you. [14:15] ikonia, I guess it must be a desktop installer... I'll try a redownload from another server... thanks for now... [14:15] sipior: thanks [14:15] ikonia: you didn't need to specify -vo [driver] and it works? [14:15] hey has anyone tried motion for camera surveilance? [14:16] i'm having problems getting the program to work; [14:16] i tried installing a different usplash, but when i boot it just prints a lot of text like this : Random Computer Part [OK] [14:16] mattycoze: I used to have motion, what exactly is the problem? [14:16] it doesn't even show the normal splash at all! [14:17] okey666 well i *think* i got the config file right, except for when i get the daemon working it works for about 10 seconds then cuts out [14:17] but during that 10 seconds i get enough time to go into firefox and go 'localhost:8000' [14:17] ikonia, I've found the bug, I pressed back once in firefox where the 'desktop' version gets selected again, even though the version, mirror and arch. stay as chosen... sorry [14:18] ExploWare: no apologies needed, well spotted [14:18] Does anybody use a removable drive bay with ubuntu? I've just been given a pc with one fitted and I'm wondering whether to leave it in place and use it, or just remove it and use teh space for a second cd/dvd, I'm more interested in whether there are any issues and if changing the drive in the slot would cause mount problems, it looks like a novatech model [14:18] is the repos down? I can't install anything from ph.archive.ubuntu.com [14:18] then it comes up with a username & password thing "Motion Security Access" but i don't remember specifying a password... it';s not in the config file [14:18] okey666 I'm using 8.10 btw [14:18] mattycoze: 32 bit?

[14:44] Gorja: now put all that into one question, repeat every 20 minutes or so, use the time you might spend waiting googling or searching the forums [14:44] I have some pptp connections in ~/.gconf/system/networking/connections/*/vpn/%gconf.xml and ~/.gconf/system/networking/vpn_connections/*/%gconf.xml which were created with 8.04. Since updating to 8.10 I cannot use them any more, although the files are still there. How can I convert these for use with the new network-manager? [14:44] when I double-click on a flash applet inside firefox it loses keyboard focus; is there some way to stop that happening? [14:44] i have that file in /usr/lib--i don't know why it can't find it [14:45] Slart, i just wanna now if Nvidia driver for Ibex are now proper enough to upgrade to ;) [14:45] <|f|> anyone? [14:45] who can help me? [14:46] and me???? [14:46] Gorja, the nvidia driver in jaunty is fine. [14:46] rafa_, yinlong: we can only find out after you ask your question [14:46] Can ubuntu shoew me my powersource watt amount? [14:46] Lartza_: try powertop.. not sure if it gives you an actual value or not [14:47] bjsnider, so i can upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 and my graphics will work? [14:47] i have a notebook with hdmi out, but the sound not work... [14:47] jrib [14:47] Lartza_: try typing into the console apropos power you will get a list of cool programs that might help [14:47] Gorja, pardon me? this is the jaunty channel,not intrepid, and intrepid is about to be surpassed by jaunty [14:48] !details | rafa_ [14:48] rafa_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [14:48] bjsnider, okay... i didn't know ^^ [14:48] jaunty is the 9.04 and intrepid is 8.10?? [14:48] correct BDis [14:48] BDis correct [14:48] Cool. I get the names mixed up! [14:48] they're based on the date [14:48] <|f|> ubuntu doesn't support interactive booting? [14:49] in other words, the forth month of 2009. 0904, 9.04 [14:49] Slart, .... with intrepid and jaunty i have the problem ok? [14:49] OH cool. [14:49] bjsnider, are the nvidia_alternate_driver proper enough to upgrade to 9? [14:49] all works except hdmi sound out [14:49] Gorja; I am running 32 bit Ibex with nvidia 96xx driver runing fine. The liveCD may not have had the driver but the updates do. [14:49] Didn't know that. I''m a Windows Engineer trying to augment my skills with Linux knowledge! [14:49] Gorja, what alternate driver? [14:49] rafa_: sorry, can't help you [14:49] platius, i am running a GeForce 448 Go... [14:50] ok thanks Slart [14:50] bjsnider, those that will be loaded after install thru internet [14:50] platius, so its a ooooooolder one :D [14:50] Gorja, i'm sure the old drivers are ok. [14:50] is the 9.04 version stable enough to load? IE ia there still a large amount of issues? [14:51] bjsnider, thx [14:51] bjsnider, thats what i want to know [14:51] Gorja; nvida claims that the 96xx supports your card [14:51] i installed a ubuntu,but when i boot ,the reply is:Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist. [14:51] BDis, that dpeends on your hardware and what you need the system to do. it's definitely stable enough for me [14:51] BDis: #ubuntu+1 for jaunty discussion please [14:51] who knows why?

Dia .. but it doesnt work like the default one @Slart [15:07] i know it isnt the place but theres alot of people here and it was just a general linux question [15:08] MusicGenious: no, that was firmware/device related [15:08] lenin: here's what it looks like http://imagebin.org/44773 [15:08] where do i ask about that stuff?

Has anyone else had the problem on 8.04 where after installing updates the sound seemed to break. I presume its linked to pulse audio but am unsure how to resolve the issue - can anyone help [15:30] UbuntuMe: so you're going to use that for an ubuntu install.. the unformatted space? how big is that? [15:30] scunizi: if I format the free space as ext3 using gparted, would it easier to install ubuntu.. w/o going thru this *manual* step [15:31] scunizi: 20Gb unformatted spcae [15:31] hi all, this file http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/146992/ generates error "parse error before `false'" any help please :? [15:32] UbuntuMe: depends.. it would certainly be easier to let the installer do all the work.. but since I came in late on the conversation I missed some key factors.. is windows installed? do you want dual boot? how large is the unformatted space? [15:32] What would I need the regular kernel for on server ubuntu? [15:32] Compiling programs would be one? [15:32] Or wiat forget that [15:33] But is there anything I can't do with the server edition? [15:33] UbuntuMe: I was busy typing and missed the 20Gb part.. what about the rest? [15:33] Lartza_: Some restricted drivers may not be available for the -server kernel. [15:33] Lartza_: the -server kernel also has PAE enabled [15:33] ziroday: THat's bad? [15:33] scunizi: yeah.. dual boot... my laptop came with vista.. I used to gparted to free up 20Gb free space .... to install ubuntu... the Rest 300Gb is vista (OS) and data.... :) [15:34] Is there a way to see who else is viewing your desktop via remote desktop viewer? [15:34] Lartza_: it means you can run 32bit kernel but still address over 4GB of ram [15:34] <__8472> hi, does anybody know for what precisely is the FILENAME refering in the SMBCLIENT ? thx [15:34] Pici: It porpably doesn't matter, I would need nvidia, but since server can propabl run with nv there is no real need [15:34] ziroday: And is that BAD? [15:35] Lartza_: are you running 32bit? [15:35] I am really looking for bad stuff on server kernel [15:35] Yes [15:35] Lartza_: do you want to use more then 3GB or ram? [15:35] ziroday: No [15:35] I am not planning to upgrade my 284Mb [15:35] Lartza_: then don't worry about it. [15:35] UbuntuMe: ok.. ubuntu will certianly fit in 20Gb so you could certainly let the installer do its thing by itself. Afterward you may want to carve out 100Gb of space to move your /home to. I say this be cause you're going to fall in love and will need more space for your pics, audio etc.. :) but that can be done post-facto [15:35] who sent me am essage [15:36] Second thing, what is different from the minimal and regular server install? [15:36] irc.racrew.us [15:36] It doesn't let me choose what servers to install on regular? [15:36] :) [15:36] #j *irc.racrew.us [15:37] #j #rc.racrew.us [15:37] how do i turn off this auto fsck check you must run fsck manually before i'll stop failing the boot sequence garbage [15:37] #j #irc.racrew.us [15:37] this is absolutely unacceptable [15:37] i cant e ven ssh [15:37] a_co, it's /server irc.racrew.us [15:37] a_co, and /j #channel [15:37] scunizi: lets say.. i want to use gparted to create a partition.... must it be primary or logical.. and it should be ext3 format.... Am i right on this. [15:38] So difference of ubuntu server and minimal? from the same cd [15:39] Ubuntume, do you have windows installed and are wanting to dual boot? [15:40] UbuntuMe: primary or logical doesn't matter.. if you find a need for more than 4 primary partitions then you have to go with 3 primary and make the 4th logical with more partitions below that. ext3 is the default file system but it doesn't really matter if you used gparted to make partitions and didn't assign a file system to them.. the installer will allow you to do that.

[15:55] armence, just run it, in the terminal, when you boot, and get the screen press ctrl+alt+f1 and then login and do nvidia-xconfig and then do startx [15:55] __8472: sounds like a samba issue.. you're question doesn't make a lot of sense [15:56] __8472: and nobody here seem to know the answer.. they might [15:56] chuckh1958: there is I forget the name of the app 1sec [15:57] trying to speed up a usb hard drive [15:57] try this: watch a youtube video. see how you can skip through it with the left and right arrow keys. then double-click the video while it's playing, and see how you now can't skip. can you reproduce it? it doesn't happen in windows. seems like a bug?

( I want to code C language) [15:59] scunizi: can i put the mount point as just */* [15:59] sh_: you may have to just manually delete the files for it.. [15:59] napzter: well, for a simple c compiler use gcc [15:59] !package build-essential [15:59] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:59] !build-essential [15:59] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [16:00] UbuntuMe: if you're manually doing the partitions.. */* is the representation for "root" .. /home and /swap are self explainatory [16:00] scunizi: im sure id get an error with that too... i just tried to use the "Janitor clean up" option to remove old stuff...got an other error "could not clean up properly..wasnt able to locate googlearth" [16:00] UbuntuMe: / can be 7-8 gigs on your system [16:01] scunizi: i only got the option for the Mount point... whats this /home and /swap ... will it appear later in the set up [16:01] napzter: gcc is what is used to compile linux [16:02] naptzer: and most other open-source applications (and closed source) [16:02] UbuntuMe: remember everything it pretty much a text file so you can search and destroy files belonging to a program.. there is nothing like the windows registry that you have to worry about. [16:02] natschil: how can i download gcc? i can't see it in Add/Remove Aplli. [16:02] i THINK my puter reading usb 2 as usb 1 [16:03] scunizi: :) ... k, dude.. think, i will just whack and have a go... Anyways, I have the recovery disks, should something go wrong... [16:03] napzter: Most cli-only applications aren't in add/remove. Install the build-essential package from synaptic or apt-get it [16:03] what is a "missing arch"? [16:03] UbuntuMe: at minimum an install needs 2 partitions.. / and /swap.. if you're using the auto partitioner then this is what it will do. the /swap will be automatic [16:03] chuckh1958: the app that I use is "ettercap" it's vary easy to use [16:04] napzter: if it isn't installed already, install build-essential [16:04] !build-essential | napzter [16:04] napzter: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [16:04] HammerHead66: I actually found a checkbox in system/preferences/remotedesktop on the advanced tab.

[16:04] hi, i have installed ubuntu 9.04 and 8.10 but i cannot get wifi on both, can someone please help ?? [16:05] mib_39gj3xnl: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion. [16:05] natschil: okay in the terminal? what should i type? install apt-get build essential? [16:06] chuckh1958: ok yea i see you can do it that way too [16:06] napzter: that would do the job, yup [16:06] scunizi: : what is the easiest way to to a clean install? can i just reinstall my 8.10 over jaunty? id like to go back a version [16:06] sh_: yep.. [16:07] scunizi: when i click on the Device : free space in manual partition.. I Only have the option to do *New partition* and not *New partition table*.. .so i chose *New Partition*... thus I am unable to create a swap partition.. [16:07] scunizi: i have windows on the other partition...so i can just ask the installer to install over the jaunty partition? [16:07] sh_: yes [16:07] scunizi: so I could just stick with swap file instead... I was reading just now..and it seems that the swap file is as good as swap parition... [16:08] chuckh1958: thanks for the info [16:08] ok thanks ill try that.. thx for your help [16:08] UbuntuMe: when you create the new partition you'll have an option to size it.. if you reduce the size by .. say.. 512mb then that extra space can be used for /swap [16:08] UbuntuMe: maybe.. I've never used a swap file.. [16:09] what does it mean if you are getting attacked by your own ip address? [16:09] I'm using amarok ver 1.4.10 on ubuntu 8.10. I was wondering if there was a way to create a borderless visualization window (tools > visualizations > infinite). Maybe use devilspie to create a config file 'infinate.ds' to handle the display of the borderless window? [16:09] is there software in the ubuntu respository that allows me to record video from a webcam? if so, what's it called (can't find any looking through add/remove now) [16:09] UbuntuMe: just a hint for post install.. don't try to use hybernate or sleep while in ubuntu.. one of those uses swap space and you won't have nearly enough. [16:10] is there a command line program like growisofs that burns .bin files? [16:10] yes [16:10] hi all [16:10] what is it? [16:11] * srdjo Can anyone help me with connecting two sites via vpn or something similar ? [16:11] onthefence9282: cheese maybe.. camorama might.. VLC might be able to as well.. mencoder if you can figure it out etc etc.. [16:11] HammerHead66: It's pretty handy. I only wish the rd app had the same built in web server that vncserver has. If I want to share my desktop with someone, they wouldn'thave to install a vnc viewer app. They could just connect to the http:/server:5800 [16:11] ariqs: have you checked out cdrecord? [16:13] scunizi: Oh... K.. I am left with 1Gb free space now... so I use this space and create new partition and set mount point as /swap... Am i good now ? [16:13] UbuntuMe: yep.. you doing this with the install cd or the gparted live cd? [16:13] scunizi: ubuntu CD [16:13] chuckh1958: sorry man I'm a newbie to Linux. I don't know of anything to help you out. [16:14] UbuntuMe: ok.. same program.. let-her-rip! [16:14] scunizi: thanks, dude... Oooooooooh Yeah [16:14] ? [16:15] UbuntuMe: you be rockin!

[16:15] !vpn | srdjo [16:15] srdjo: From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [16:16] scunizi: How come I clicked forward... and I got this dialog box... "You have not selected any paritions for use as swap space..Enabling swap space is recommended blah blah"... :S [16:16] UbuntuMe: when you're manually partitoning you still have to take that 1gig of space and tag it as /swap [16:17] is there a 'pc wizard' type app that takes inventory of the hardware/reports everything found... like pc wizard does in xp [16:17] Tapout: type sudo lshw in a terminal window [16:17] Tapout: System / Administration / Hardware testing [16:17] :D [16:18] dou you speak turkish?

[16:27] armence: ah.. missed your previous post.. did you install the driver from nvidia or use the one in the hardware driver menu? [16:27] scunizi: I think the later [16:27] armence: try typing nvidia-xconfig [16:27] armence: or sudo nvidia-xconfig [16:27] scunizi: I did, I get a whole bunch of errors...

Should i click Advanced and change the boot loader.. Or just leave it as the default.. [16:29] ok.. you really need to be booted into the system to get help fixing it..

[16:34] I am trying to share a windows NTFS drive. But I keep getting errors about I don't have permission. I think its because the drive is being mounted as 'root'. I am sure there is a way around this in Samba or maybe a way not to mount the drive as 'root' but as a user [16:35] done [16:35] I upgraded my workstation from 8.04 to 8.10 yesterday and know my pipe key does not work. any ideas where i should start? [16:35] my new kernel's looking for the root device at /dev/sda5 and can't find it [16:35] I am here [16:35] halp [16:35] dratner, are you mounting the NTFS drive in fstab? [16:35] japanfred: no nautilus [16:36] dratner, try running nautilus as root [16:36] armence2: remember to use nicks when responding. type the first few characters and hit TAB for autocompletion.. [16:36] dratner, alt+f2, then type in gksudo nautilus then try again... [16:36] japan: will try [16:36] dratner, i have all my shares setup manually in my smb.conf, sorry... [16:36] scunizi: thanks for the tab tip... Will I have internet when I'm in CLI though? Should I perhaps not use the wireless? [16:37] armence2 ok.. looking pretty nice so far? Yes you should have internet.. just because the gui isn't working doesn't mean the rest of the system isn't.. linux is cool that way..:) [16:37] scunizi: Good... [16:38] scunizi: OK, so I guess I'll log on to the system in CLI and get back to you, see you shortly... [16:38] Hello, i was wondering is this right place to ask openssh-server thing? so i need that work over nat :P my apache is running fine, but cant get that work :/ [16:39] armence2: ok.. when you boot into your system you'll either have a blank screen or one with a terminal prompt. If the screen is blank (most likely) you type .. ctrl+alt+F2 to get to a full screen terminal.. log in and do the irssi thing.. then when you're getting advice and need to issue commands you simply ctrl+alt+F3 to get to a different full screen terminal.. [16:40] scunizi: armence2: drop the ctrl in that. Ctrl is only needed if you are already in X. otherwise it's just Alt+F1, Alt+F2, etc. [16:40] japan: I did a gksudo nautilus but it looks different then my usual nautilus in that now I don't' see any icons representing my drive. [16:40] if my webserver's php creates a file it doesn't get chmod 777'ed how do i make all files in /etc/www/ to become chmod 777 and every file whom gets created in that folder will have chmod 777? [16:41] how to update ubuntu 8.4 to 9 [16:41] ne2k__: Alt+F will bring up a box in the gui for entering commands.. armence2 doesn't have a gui at this point.. it's stuck and needs a full TTY screen..

[16:42] when php writes a file i get "permission denied" in response, how do i fix this? [16:42] ogelami: you probably don't want all files at 777 otherwise you reduce your security a lot..

[16:44] scunizi: how would you solve this problem then? [16:44] dratner, ah, you can't share nothing... you'll need to create the folder/mount it [16:44] scunizi: OK, down to buisness, what should I do? (Don't take me wrong, I love this and I am learning VIM but GUIs can be useful) [16:44] ogelami: sorry I'll leave that for someone that knows the answer.. check in #ubuntu-server or ##linux if you don't get an answer here..

[16:46] armence: VIM? arg.. never had the inclination.. try sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf .. caps and lower case make a difference.. ctrl+alt+F3 to get to the next tty and ctrl+alt+F2 to get back here.. [16:47] japanfred: I don't want to make the drive available to everyone. just want to mount it temporarily and then samba share so I can copy some stuff over [16:47] when trying to boot up a newly compiled kernel, i'm getting an error message: gave up waiting for root device which is looking for /dev/sda5 .. my other kernels use root=/dev/sda5 in menu.lst and boot fine. which module is responsible for seeing ide drives as scsi /dev/sd* drives? [16:47] dratner, ah ok, so when your gksudo'd into nautilus, you can't see that mountable drive? [16:48] hrmmm [16:48] japan: yep but I see it and some another windows partition in my regular nautilus [16:49] scunizi: Sorry, I lost power briefly here... [16:49] I guess I need to "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so" What libs are these? [16:49] dratner, ok, but the one you are after, you can see? [16:49] if i can't figure this out i'm leaving ubuntu for gentoo :P [16:49] ikonia: I guess I need to "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so" What libs are these? [16:49] armence: ouch [16:49] armence: did you get my last post? [16:49] japan: not under the gksudo naut [16:49] scunizi: I don't think so... [16:49] armence: VIM? arg.. never had the inclination.. try sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf .. caps and lower case make a difference.. ctrl+alt+F3 to get to the next tty and ctrl+alt+F2 to get back here.. [16:49] Anyone? [16:49] dratner, weird! ok let's mount it at command line then [16:49] japan: k [16:50] ikonia: I guess I need to "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so" What libs are these? [16:50] dratner, make a folder, i.e. mkdir /media/mydrive [16:50] I guess I need to "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so" What libs are these? [16:50] done [16:50] scunizi: ok [16:50] Hey guys. Should be an easy question I hope. I've got a network card in my machine which seems to be defaulting back to 100Mbps/Full/NoNegotiate, despite my multiple attempts to force it to 1000Mbps/Full/AutoNeg. Is there anywhere common I should be looking at? I've tried init scripts, post-up in /etc/network/interfaces and neither have made it stick, but it works fine from the command line (so it's not a problem with the port / card) [16:50] dratner, now, do you know what /dev/hdXX the partition is? [16:50] yep [16:50] /dev/hdb1 [16:51] anyone around? [16:51] dratner, ok great, let's do... [16:51] dratner, sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /media/mydrive [16:51] armence: look in that file for a line that begins with "Driver". if it's there and the referenece is nvidia change it to nv. [16:52] So I got this powerbook g4 (PPC) attempted the PPC install CD. I find it doesn't detect the CDROM after loading into memory. Suggestions? [16:52] I guess I need to "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so" What libs are these? [16:52] no? [16:52] scunizi: Ctrl+O to save? [16:52] hi when i wake my computer after sleep, my monior does not turn back on. [16:53] error message: gave up waiting for root device which is looking for /dev/sda5 .. my other kernels use root=/dev/sda5 in menu.lst and boot fine. which module is responsible for seeing ide drives as scsi /dev/sd* drives? [16:53] never mind, i found it... some of our in-house scripts are so stupid :( [16:53] armence: yes and ctrl+x to exit [16:53] armence: don't reboot [16:53] japan: sorry for the delay I wrote hdb1 should have been sdb1 ..haha anyway [16:53] wamty: USB Camera ? [16:53] scunizi: ok, not rebooting as we speak [16:53] dratner, haha no worries :) is it now mounted? check by doing a ls /media/mydrive [16:54] armence: :).. to see if the gui will start.. try this.. if it loads then you can ctrl+alt+F2 to get back here.. type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [16:54] japan: its working and showing up on my gksudo nautilus [16:54] superb [16:54] dratner, so, now under you gksudo nautilus, try and share it, you know how to do that? [16:54] japan: yep [16:54] Give it a go :)# [16:55] looks like it worked [16:55] dratner, now try and browse it [16:55] scunizi: I actually am in F1 here... Is that going to be a problem? I mean, unless I am being silly and try to return here using F2? [16:55] japan: let me go into the other room and see === khisanth_ is now known as Khisanth [16:55] armence: don't think so.. but not sure.. issue the command and see what happens [16:56] if i install GsTreamer in the USA, is that iilegal? [16:56] scunizi: Starting GNOME manager [fail] [16:56] mib_yw5bpt: probably [16:56] armence: when you made the driver change did you type NV or nv? [16:56] Hallo zusammen :) [16:57] scunizi: nv [16:57] japan: poop...still not seeing it on my other computer. [16:57] Hmmm [16:57] mib_yw5bpt: it's the encrypted dvd program that may not be fully legal, but gstreamer should be fine [16:57] do you speak german or english here ? [16:57] dratner, ok well what can you see from the other computer? [16:57] ok thanks sebsebseb [16:57] armence: thinking.... [16:57] scunizi: no problem [16:58] scunizi: I'll brb, I need to hit the thinking chair briefly [16:58] japan: nevermind...I see it...should it be under the windows share? [16:58] mib_yw5bpt: ok no problem [16:58] if thats what it's called, yep [16:58] armence: k [16:58] How to I add an app to the list in the pop-up window when removable media (CD, DVD, etc.) is inserted? [16:58] japan: hmm, its a NTFS based drive but its not a full OS ...just a storage drive [16:59] error message: gave up waiting for root device which is looking for /dev/sda5 .. my other kernels use root=/dev/sda5 in menu.lst and boot fine. which module is responsible for seeing ide drives as scsi /dev/sd* drives? [16:59] japanfred, i think there is a severe generalisation that NTFS = windows [16:59] * scunizi sees japanfred talking to himself and wonders if he's fishing for responses [17:00] japan: well whatever..as long as I can see and browse...thats all I need for now. Thanks for the help [17:00] lmao.... thats scunizi [17:00] omg, my head... thanks scunizi [17:00] dratner, no worries :) [17:00] lets say ive got a server that has an empty drive that isnt mounted, and a filled up drive that is mounted and contains / with all of its subdirectories (some split onto partitions). would there be any problems if i wanted to do a "dd if=/dev/sd of=/dev/sd" if the old drive is being used? [17:00] hi all [17:00] japan: I guess if I need it regularly I will mount it in fstab [17:00] Anyone here familiar with data recovery? [17:00] scunizi: back [17:01] peple, I install ubuntu 8.10 server, and after I need Grafical interface only to use firefox. So I install apt-get install xorg icewm. But after I did startx command, mouse not works. I try ps2 and usb mouse. what file I can change to try solve that ? [17:01] hey guys, what does: dpkg-divert: mismatch on divert-to [17:01] when removing `diversion of /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib32/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xserver-xorg-core by nvidia-glx-180' [17:01] found `diversion of /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib32/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa by nvidia-glx-180' [17:01] mean [17:01] graingert: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:01] Can anyone tell me how to apply the patch at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20997#c1 ? I have the source and everything ready, but since it's not a .patch file I don't know how to apply it properly [17:01] dratner, yep, either that or store what i've told you so far into a script that you can run when you need it [17:01] is it possible to split files with AUDACITY at NEAR SILENCE automatically (for example in batch-process?) tnx... [17:01] msn [17:01] japan: script...yeah. Isn't linux cool [17:02] dratner, that's one thing it certainly is :) can really bite you in the ass though [17:02] yes, thanks again. [17:02] raven: you might search google for audacity how to's .. sounds like you're recording LP's and need to split the files.. there is a way for audacity to do that. [17:02] hi Syntacs [17:02] linduxed, yes you would get an inconsistent filesystem [17:02] hey c-ron [17:02] linduxed, if you need to clone a live system, you can use rsync [17:02] sebsebseb: when i wake my computer after sleep, my monior does not turn back on. [17:03] fuck [17:03] fuck [17:03] achenheim: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:03] scunizi i know and you're nearly right - i am recording tapes ;) [17:04] raven: 'bout time! :) [17:04] joaopinto: two questions then. 1) would i get a byte by byte copy like dd? 2) how do i use rsync for that? [17:04] raven: do you need a DBX128 processor to increase the dynamic range? I've got one from the late 70's early 80's :) [17:04] scunizi but the problem i have is that i cannot adjust the "silence" so when there is a little noise (i cannot completely remove with the plugin) nothing get's split [17:05] hi i am trying to use screen command, my friend logged in as root and i logged as root also, we both type screen and hit enter, but we can't see each other typing any suggestions ? [17:05] scunizi: Does NVIDIA effectively manage its own drivers and did not see fit to provide a manager from the cli? [17:05] linduxed, 1) no you don't get a byte by byte copy, explaining myself better, you can't do a reliably byte by byte copy from a filesystem being changed [17:05] raven: you can manually insert a silence portion [17:05] 2) You can only use rsync for FS structure/data replication [17:06] Anyone here have good experience with virtualbox and linux data recovery? [17:06] of course - in 20 houres music i'd prefer the tool to do it for itself ;) [17:06] armence: well... it's not really nvidia.. it's how the video system now works.. we still have a couple options.. [17:06] joaopinto: so i should do it in some live environment? [17:06] when i wake my computer after sleep, my monior does not turn back on. anyone have any ideas? [17:06] armence: did you tell me you tried sudo nvidia-xconfig? [17:06] linduxed, what do you expect to gain from a byte by byte copy over an file based copy ? [17:07] scunizi: Yeap, I just got a ton or warnings [17:07] armence: ok.. try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [17:07] scunizi: Do you want me to try again? And should I restore xorg.conf first? [17:07] scunizi of course - in 20 houres music i'd prefer the tool to do it for itself ;) [17:07] when transferring music to an ipod touch using ssh is there anyway to make it go faster? [17:07] armence: what are they? I haven't evolved my brains to telepathically read minds over the internet [17:08] yet. [17:08] Can anyone reccomend a good SNMP monitoring tool for ubuntu ? [17:08] raven: oh yea.. I know the pain.. I have 500 LP's that I've been trying to find the time to convert for several years. [17:09] Who know any Proxy finder utility for Linux_Ubuntu? [17:09] scunizi i simply need the ability to adjust a treshhold or something else but there is no dialogue for the splitting-tool isn't it? [17:09] joaopinto: tbh, i only feel safer having it go through the entire drive byte by byte including mbr and stuff like that [17:10] joaopinto: im basically swapping a small drive for a larger one [17:10] error message: gave up waiting for root device which is looking for /dev/sda5 .. my other kernels use root=/dev/sda5 in menu.lst and boot fine. which module is responsible for seeing ide drives as scsi /dev/sd* drives? [17:10] raven: it's been a while.. the audacity site has lots of info and there might even be a channel for it. [17:11] scunizi: done [17:11] I just installed ubuntu server, the computer has 2 PCI NIC and only one of them, the one to internet is working(showing on ifconfig) [17:11] scunizi yes i tried both but i did not found a really solution - because of that i'm here ;) [17:11] armence: when you booted into your system did you get in using the "recover" kernel? [17:11] linduxed, with rsync you can do it with a live system, but you will need to reinstall the MBR [17:11] but no matter thanks for your response [17:11] scunizi: nope [17:12] with dd, you will need to boot from a livecd [17:12] armence: ok.. try this again.. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [17:12] The lights on both pci cards are on [17:12] where are thre the xorg configuration file ? [17:12] scunizi: same problem as before [17:12] J_P: /etc/init.d/xorg.conf === goshawk_ is now known as goshawk [17:13] scunizi: Should I maybe try to reboot? [17:13] /etc/X11 [17:13] how to uninstall app's using terminal ? [17:13] J_P: oops.. not there. /etc/X11/xorg.conf [17:13] So how do I fix my pci nic? [17:13] dainis, sudo apt-get remove package [17:13] armence: yes [17:13] joaopinto: i think ill go with booting up a live environment [17:13] scunizi: see you soon [17:13] dainis: sudo apt-get purge programname that will also get rid of the config files and so the best way [17:13] And how do I change channels in irssi? [17:14] scunizi: administrator@olhovivo:/etc/X11$ ls -la xorg.conf [17:14] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2009-04-08 11:39 xorg.conf [17:14] lartza_: /win windownumber OR alt+windownumber [17:14] when i wake my computer after sleep, my monior does not turn back on. anyone have any ideas? [17:14] whahay [17:14] scunizi: file is empty [17:14] sebsebseb: thank you - will try it in a few seconds. [17:14] Thanks [17:14] mib_yw5bpt-> what graphic card do you have? [17:14] So now how do I get my pci network card to life? [17:14] lartza_-> what flavour is it? [17:14] wait a sec [17:15] mib_yw5bpt: i also have problems with sleep mode on my computer.. it becomes totally unresponsive when trying to wake back up [17:15] J_P: The most recent xorg versions use HAL to determine video settings. [17:15] green-ant: gforce 8600 [17:15] Hi could someone tell me a good package that will run on ubuntu to recover data following a harddrive format. I have wine running but am unable to run any windows applications as the wine system uses virtualdrives and so does not have access to the physically drives that are mounted. [17:15] J_P: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution if you need to troubleshoot a problem [17:15] Pici: so, how I configure mouse with xorg for example? [17:15] ok [17:15] fixed I guess... [17:15] mib_yw5bpt-> this is likely to be the new nvidia-180 driver [17:15] Any ideas? [17:15] Had to run sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 for it to show [17:15] J_P: If you put things into xorg.conf it will respect them, but they don't need to be there for it to work. [17:15] minimike150: does hybernate work? === lartza_ is now known as Lartza_busy [17:16] Pici: ok [17:16] scunizi: Hey, it worked! [17:16] Please? [17:16] Pici ?

[17:28] It seems that after upgrading to the latest nVidia drivers, part of my opengl install has broken, standard ./configure scripts say that opengl is not installed and linking with -lGL option no longer works. Anyone know how to fix this? [17:28] scunizi: I am in the second window and it froze, I think I mistyped something [17:28] scunizi: I am now in tty1 [17:28] armence: k.. did it all disappear? [17:29] scunizi: Nope, it looks normal, but when I use the keyboard, nothing happens [17:29] armence: ah you did the ctrl+a d and it looks like it froze but you'll see a terminal prompt at the bottom of the screen [17:30] armence: if the terminal prompt is there you're fine.. [17:31] scunizi: No... (I might have done Ctrl+a d, my finger slipped and I'm not sure what key I hit) Well, the second window has a terminal and a blinking cursor but it's not doing anything [17:31] cc [17:31] armence: try ctrl+c or q to exit that mode [17:32] armence2 you're back!

[17:36] And why iptables -XF FORWARD gives bad argument FORWARD? [17:36] hi everybody [17:37] scunizi: OK, so those are real windows that can be moved around between terminals and hidden and minimized and stuff, this is really good stuff [17:37] scunizi: thanks [17:37] armence2: screen is an amazing tool. read up on it.. I was really confused reading about it until I tried it and experienced the power.. there's many more features.. great for diagnosing your system when the gui doesn't work.. your next mission is to install elinks and try surfing the web at the cli.. [17:38] hi, I have a problem [17:38] scunizi: elinks... I'll give it a shot. I really like the CLI and surfing the web is the primary reason why I don't use it more... [17:38] matott: me too! [17:38] my alt+arrow keys don't work [17:38] armence2: have fun! the more you learn the more you want to learn on this OS.. it's aggravation and smiles all at the same time. [17:38] hi im searching for posibilities were the wlan settings could be done on ubuntu. im having a roboter which runs with ubuntu and connects to a wlan. but i just cant find the file or the startup program which connects to an WLAN ap! can somebody help me? [17:38] I get ;3C [17:38] armence2: oh.. mutt is pretty neat for imap access of your gmail account or others at the cli [17:38] How do I clear iptables to start fresh? [17:39] armence2: mutt does pop as well. [17:39] scunizi: Thanks, I'll give both of those programs a shot [17:39] what else could be used for connection an AP wpa_supplicant file is not used so im hanging [17:39] lartza_-> to clear the rules iptables -F [17:39] armence2: see ya. coffee time [17:39] My problem seems similar: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/96676 [17:40] scunizi: cya [17:40] my login screen goes black after updating nividia driver how do i turn on low graph mode with xorg? [17:40] I am at another computer now [17:41] n8tuser: Thanks, I have been given -XF which doesn't work [17:41] i would really apriciate a answer i done this before but i forgot what comand to use in terminal to reset xorg [17:42] lartza_-> however i think that does not clear the policy, so you may have to set it to your liking [17:42] s0101: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [17:42] cheers matte [17:42] cheers! [17:43] well that doesn't matter since it gets overwritten, entries get multiplied so i needed those cleared [17:43] in which language most of ubuntu app's are written ( java, c#, c++ .. ) ? [17:44] dainis: python [17:44] anyone with RAID install experiance? [17:44] I have a dell with ICH8 raid drives and want to install ubuntu [17:44] any ideas? [17:45] thecommutist > thnx [17:45] dainis: welcome! [17:45] dainis: Ubuntu has a lot of Python stuff in it [17:45] dainis: and in the repo it seems as well yes [17:45] i am interested in building my own computer. i would like to run ubuntu on it [17:45] the install wont see the raid even if I use the DMraid options [17:45] dainis: Ubuntu uses quite a lot of Python [17:46] where can i find specs that are supported by ubuntu? [17:46] thewrath: check the hardware compatibility list at www.ubuntu.com [17:46] thewrath: more like, where can you find specs that are suppourted by Linux, well you can try here #linux and also I expect a lot of people in #hardware use Linux [17:46] can some one help find out why things keep disapearing from my desktop? [17:46] any ideas for me?? [17:46] sebsebseb > ok ,thank you ! Last time when I found some Python tuts, it looked like .. I don't know .. kind a old ! Will take a look at it again :) [17:47] thewrath: With a little bit of work of installing drivers, almost anything oyu find will be compatible, at least in my experience. Usually this hasnn't been a problem with me. If www.ubuntu.com doesn't work, I'd suggset googling it to see if anyone else has had trouble with that piece of hardware [17:47] dainis: Python is a rather good first proggramming language [17:47] dainis: www.diveintopython.org === shipclar is now known as plagerism [17:47] thecommutist: ok that could be useful for me as well, since I gave up on Python before, since other things etc [17:48] thecommutist: I am in no rush to learn any proggramming [17:48] thecommutist, most of ubuntu's apps are written in python? seriously? [17:48] sebsebseb > I'm not saying that it's not .. that was just my first impression ! +1 for the link. [17:48] hi, any idea what the security feature is that can cause ifconfig to not work unless sudo is used and top to only show processes running under your user? [17:49] sebsebseb: diveintopython is a bit more technical from the beginner's perspective. there's a "how to think like a computer scientist" book based on python. google for that. it's very helpful for beginner and much more easier to understand [17:50] i'm having a problem with an installation, when I do ./configure there is an error with "libevent" :S [17:50] rampageoberon-> this is default behaviour [17:50] if i look at my desktop in a terminal i can find files there but the is no icons on my desktop and i am missing the settings button on the top panel any ideas ? [17:50] thecommutist: a free ebook? [17:50] ariqs: are you into programming? [17:50] hello i installed gstreamer but video sites like youtube dont work... can anyone help [17:50] sebsebseb: yes it's free for download [17:50] rampageoberon-> ifconfig read only is required for normal operation of the computer, normal users cannot write the ifconfig settings [17:50] thecommutist > I myself am a PHP/MySQL programmer and know a bit from C++, VB, so .. I think I'll be able to handle this book :) [17:50] player1up-> you need flash, LOLOLOL! [17:50] thecommutist, sort of [17:51] graingert: in the older distro's such as hardy this was not the case, could you please explain what has changed. [17:51] graingert: i have flash [17:51] i'm having a problem with an installation, when I do ./configure there is an error with "libevent" :S. Can anybody help? [17:51] thecommutist: I got somenoe that would like me to learn Python, but I got other things that should be my priority first [17:51] rampageoberon-> nothing, please do not attempt to restrict users from reading ifconfig information [17:51] rampageoberon-> why would you even wan't this? [17:51] if i look at my desktop in a terminal i can find files there but the is no icons on my desktop and i am missing the settings button on the top panel any ideas ? [17:51] How can I configure my laptop CPU scaling to always be set to max performance in Ubuntu? [17:51] ariqs: do you find it doubtful/unlikely most ubuntu apps being based on python?

[17:52] rampageoberon-> if you are worried about people stealing your IP, then you should be firewalled properly [17:52] sebsebseb: you are welcome! [17:52] graingert: i don't want to restrict users from reading ifconfig, i'm not able to do it on my machine without root which is a bit strange [17:52] rampageoberon-> ah, you mean you didn't want it to happen [17:52] rampageoberon-> sorry :-p [17:52] thecommutist, It would surprise me, but I have no idea. Python is a very easy language to program in, but is slow due to its interpreted nature [17:52] graingert: yes thats what i meant, and no problem [17:53] graingert: i asked about the security feature as then i could check if its enabled on my machine [17:53] "checking whether we need extra options to link libevent... configure: error: Found linkable libevent in (system), but it doesn't run, even with -R. Maybe specify another using --with-libevent-dir?" that's my problem :( [17:53] ariqs: ok i'll try to put this up to one of the ubuntu devs. let's see what comes out! [17:53] can anyone help with video problems? i have ubuntu 8.10 and cannot play embedded videos on any sites [17:53] rampageoberon-> I think you may have permissions on that device set wrong, what is it's uri?

How do I debug that problem with apt? [19:07] its there [19:08] blackdemon: anywhere in the system /init.d script or somewhere else seems to be a script which creates a new interfaces file [19:08] i can ping the ip of the ubuntu box from windows box [19:08] Is there something similar to fruity loops for linux? or even something more simplistic (like .mod tracker software) [19:08] Vague, you would get the md5sum from where you downloaded it, then compare it to the output of md5sum [19:08] blackdemon: if i booted up its there if i put that into my pc here its gone. so it seems to be dynamic [19:08] how to change keyboard layout under ubuntu ? [19:08] Geboy, If you want to print directly to CUPS, you'll want to select http://YOUR.IP.ADDY.HERE:631/printers/PRINTER_NAME as the printer on the network to print to. [19:08] julian_: maybe the NetworkManager ;) [19:08] blackdemon: thats why my changes to the interfaces.tpl and interfaces_dyn.tpl didnt make any changes [19:09] theres no network manager cause theres no WM [19:09] albacker: system - prefs - keyboard [19:09] Vague, you would run it from the command line. see man md5sum Some burning software (k3b) will show you the md5sum when you select it as the image to burn [19:09] I cant make changes in my own directory. [19:09] pixelmonkey, check the build log and you will find the missing dependencies that you need to install first, allow me to ask you why install from source? [19:09] Ienorand, oh.. thanks :D [19:09] just getting into init.d scripts, i get the error "rc_exit: command not found", how do i fix that? im kinda new to bashscripting but i guess it needs something like c's #include? [19:09] Ienorand, isn't there a CL way ? [19:09] Job, there are major regressions in Evolution in Intrepid, and I'm trying to help the developers find solutions for these serious bugs. [19:09] albech: so everytime i want to print something from a windows client in my network, i have to typed it manually? [19:09] Seven_Six_Two, Alright, thanks [19:09] clearscreen: If you have the free space, check out the ubuntustudio-audio package, or specifically in there perhaps ardour. (Note, I'm not into music production so I may not be getting the program features right) [19:10] Hi guys.. [19:10] Job, what build log? [19:10] albech: coz i can't add printer in windows that point to the ubuntu box [19:10] pixelmonkey, like not being able to tray without alltray? lol. [19:10] albacker: probably, but I don't know it. [19:10] do you know if there is a lkl keylogger for ubuntu .. usually it runs under debian.. but it sseems not to work with ubuntu [19:10] Pici: cool, I'll have a look [19:10] or maybe changing layouts : Ienorand . i use fluxbox and i'd like to change keyboard layouts wwith key shortcuts :/ [19:10] Geboy, you should be able to add a printer URL somewhere in the Add Printer wizard [19:10] Seven_Six_Two, vfolders of vfolders don't work, unread message counts are incorrect, searches are inaccurate, among others... [19:11] Geboy, let me launch a windows rq.. [19:11] pixelmonkey, I can't get the spam folder to stop showing that there are unread messages. [19:11] I have installed Ubunto 8.04 on my external 2.5? HDD , but unfortunatelly won't to boot from other computer is there some thisg shoud be resolve before booting in other computer ?? [19:11] i changed the permissions on my directory and cant get the syntax right to change it back [19:11] Seven_Six_Two, unread message count is altogether inaccurate, it's a logged bug on bugzilla and lots of folks complaining about it on evolution-list [19:11] I can't directly imagine the script that changes it back, but maybe you can create a modified version and create a script that overwrite the 2 files ... [19:11] albech: thats the wierd part, everytime i run the add printer wizzard giving the syntax you've mentioned, the wizard always said no printer [19:12] not realy a nice way to fix it, but it may work :p [19:12] i mean something like can't find printer [19:12] Seven_Six_Two, I have no idea why Ubuntu included Evolution 2.24 in Intrepid. Only reason I can guess is because GNOME included it and no one bothered to test it before declaring it "stable" [19:12] blackdemon: i try to do a readonly file as interface there [19:12] hi [19:12] pixelmonkey, oh ok. I figured. It's not that bad for me. I liked kontact, but I don't like kde4 yet. [19:12] Geboy, and if you just type that in a browser what will it display? [19:12] oh, forgotten :s [19:12] albacker: There's "setxkbmap" from terminal, dunno if that helps. [19:12] pixelmonkey, that's why I migrated. The only thing I hate is the lack of tray. [19:13] albech, nothing...401 [19:13] pixelmonkey, okay, every time you build a file config.log is created with all the configuration settings met or even unmet, just check whether there's one it might give you a hint [19:13] Ienorand, i'll have a look. thanks.

[20:07] Dr_Drozd: Depends, virtualbox is free as in freedom, vmware player comboed with http://easyvmx.com/ will probably be pretty good as well... [20:07] Vague-> consolidating discontinous spaces will be difficult, if you have an lvm setup, that would be easier [20:07] Dr_Drozd: no there are two versions of virtual box, one that is closed source, and the other is open source [20:07] noob question but how do i give a .sh file execute permissions ? [20:07] Vague→ you didn't tell me in what sense they were unallocated. you mentioned formatting them, but unallocated space cannot be formatted. what exactly do you refer to when you call it "unallocated"? [20:08] Dr_Drozd: I use virtualbox for hosting servers. It works great. [20:08] z00m-> chmod to u+x [20:08] Hi [20:08] n8tuser, I don't =( That's the problem, it's quite annoying, I have random bits of 3gs of space all over the place. [20:08] Peg_^: hi [20:09] ;) [20:09] magnetron, they are unallocated space now, I have partitioned and formatted them, 4 times over...I'm attempting to get them into a single, large, partition. It's broken into 3 pieces of 3gigs each right now, thanks to Dell MediaDirect (garr!) [20:09] Dr_Drozd: I've run up to 12 Ubuntu JeOS servers on it, all doing really intensive stuff, and the host server just kept plugging away. Vmware gets a lot of press, but VirtualBox is pretty underrated. [20:09] Vague-> these are 3g's left over from a partition? or unused spaces? [20:09] hey all [20:09] hi [20:09] hello guys, did anyone experience problems with DVD burning with Linux ? I'm getting with virtually any application WRITE@LBA=220h failed with SK=0h/ASC=00h/ACQ=02h]: Input/output error [20:09] AUDACITY: is it possible to import several files into ONE SINGLE track automatically [20:09] I've inherited some neglected ubuntu servers that are still on feisty-dawn [20:09] If I let k3b for example on auto it damages the disc write after attempting to start writing to it [20:09] If I set k3b to 12x it writes the DVD it ends up ok..and at the end all files are corrupted or unreadable [20:09] can anyone recommend some apt mirrors that still have feisty? I need to upgrade these things [20:09] I updated the firmware to the latest on the writer in an attempt to solve this [20:10] of course ..if I use windows xp it works [20:10] AUDACITY: is it possible to import several files into ONE SINGLE track automatically [20:10] magnetron, basically, I'm upset that 9 gigs of my hard drive isn't being used because It's broken up in a way I'd have to have 3 different partitions of 3 gigs each, which is silly...I should be able to make them into a contiguous, single, partition, but I can't find a way... [20:11] SkyLeach→ i recommend getting the gutsy and hardy alternate cd, it's the most reliable method of upgrading end-of-life'd installs [20:11] magnetron, cds aren't an option [20:11] and if I go that route, I'll just rebuild the servers with gentoo anyhow [20:11] these machines are at a co-lo center [20:11] "wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string" any idea why the hell this is happening with winetricks ?# === creddy_ is now known as visage === visage is now known as Guest16289 [20:13] Vague: assuming you have something like this: [big ext3] [ ntfs ] [small unused space], you can expand [ ntfs ] to use the unused space, then resize it on the left, and then resize your ext3 partition to take that space.. easily done through gparted === thatguy_ is now known as pick [20:13] AUDACITY: is it possible to import several files into ONE SINGLE track automatically [20:14] raven→ how do you mean "automatically"? [20:15] Vague: http://pastebin.com/d45280fc4 < apply/adjust to your personal situation :) just a general approach [20:15] clearscreen, Well, currently, it's like this: (3gig Unallocated) (Big NTFS Windows Install) Then! /dev/sda2 (which is 33g) is setup like (4g swap) (25g linux) (3g unallocated) [20:16] magnetron when i import 100 files at the same time i need them to be placed automatically horizontal in one track - otherwise i'd have to do it manually ;) [20:16] Oh, and there's an unallocated bit right after the windows, and before the linux sda2 bits. [20:16] Can packages in the repos recommend other uninstalled packages for install, because adept is suggesting I install a "not installed" pkg. What is the mechanism by which this can happen? [20:17] clearscreen, to extend a partition, wouldn't it have to be extended into unallocated space? or would it have to be partitioned and empty? [20:17] Vague: empty space === hooey is now known as coldboot [20:17] unallocated space* [20:18] clearscreen, hmm, so theoretically, I could just...add it to windows, and linux, and give them a few extra gigs, by extended left and right on gparted? [20:18] Thus ending the problem altogether? [20:18] Vague: yes, if they're next to eachother you can just resize and gparted will expand into unallocated space [20:19] you probably have to boot into live cd though [20:19] clearscreen, yeah, I'll use the live CD and try that then, thanks =) [20:21] I just moved a folder containing several symlinks to a different HD. Is there a way to mass rename the link target folder so that I do not have to recreate these links again? === Guest16289 is now known as creddy [20:23] Question: How would I rephrase "mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb/" into my fstab? === [1]psywiped is now known as psywiped [20:27] anyone?

[20:31] easy way to test is that most windows users will be using mIRC so just version everyone and see if they are in mIRC.

[22:46] correct. [22:46] nickbuntu: no [22:46] okay. thanks [22:46] ethana2: try aptitude for kicks [22:46] no. [22:46] i don't think so. [22:46] jrib: k [22:46] mah_boi: I don't understand.

It didn't seem to for DPI [22:49] ethana2: --with-recmmends or something [22:49] timedroid: the xorg.conf command is Xorg -configure to make a new one [22:49] * ethana2 tries that [22:49] IIRC [22:49] NCommander: it means an icmp administratively prohibited message was sent back [22:49] no Ferrenrock [22:49] nickbuntu, that you send a packet but get nothing back, normaly of the hosts dousn't exists you receive an RST package ... [22:49] nick, someone dropped your packet [22:49] mah_boi: no to what? [22:49] no to it dosen't [22:50] mah_boi: ubuntu or xorg or what are we talking about?

[22:53] thatguy_: it depends which program you trying to tweak.

[22:55] what printer do you have [22:55] any ideas? [22:56] Krine11: sudo apt-get autoclean is probably last thing that is kinda cleanable in ubuntu. The other problem of slow is that you're out of space for / partition. In any other case linux box must work equally fast/slow for years w/o some kind of cleaning. [22:56] Krine11: oh and i forgot disk fragmentation. This is rare case too. [22:56] hp psc1350 all in one [22:56] how do I extract a .tar.gz using command line?

[22:57] sebsebseb: for kubuntu-desktop [22:57] so you need to perhaps point cups on GNU/Linux at the ip of the windows box then i guess [22:58] ethana2: look in Synaptic for KDE apps?

[23:05] ok [23:05] lol [23:05] i thought it would be easier to attach the printer to the GNU/Linux box and use samba [23:05] botux, how many pc's are in the network [23:06] zleap, that's a totally different question. [23:06] it rolly would be zleap but my wife would clip my ears she uses the vista box and wouldnt wanna walk to the bedroom to pick up a documnet lol [23:06] zleap: 2 [23:06] ok [23:06] zleap: and my ps3 [23:06] ok [23:06] erm, so do you need file sharing and printing from ps3 [23:06] anyone? :| [23:07] nope [23:07] Hassanakevazir: I can't find the option, I think it exists though [23:07] i'm a new ubuntu user... i've installed a g++ compiler using synaptic, but the program doesn't show up anywhere... any suggestions? [23:08] you have to use it in command line [23:08] zleap: ps3 isnt o all the tim either so its not a factor [23:08] don't want to bug you all but i'm lost: my /var/log/boot file is basically empty. do i have to enable logging somewhere? i need to troubleshoot why iot locks up all the time. thanks in advance :) [23:08] ok [23:08] is kde4 usable now or is kde3 still king? [23:08] i have to use g++ in the command line? [23:09] redbrownie, gcc [23:09] twois10: KDE3 isan't even in the repo for 8.10 and 9.04. it is in 8.04. just like KDE4 is in the three [23:09] thanks [23:09] is there a program like dev-c++ for ubuntu? [23:09] twois10: KDE3 I prefer to KDE4 as GUI, but some of the apps got much better in KDE4, and I use those in Gnome anyway [23:09] yes [23:09] nevermind, found the instructions here to enable boot logging: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=49925 [23:09] redbrownie: yeah I think dev-c++ works on Ubuntu [23:10] when I login, my ssh passphrase is automatically added to the agent. How do I stop this? [23:10] sebsebseb, i see [23:10] Does anyone here know if Ubuntu has advantages when run on 64bit version and 64bit CPU? And also does Ubuntu run anything utilizing 2 or more CPU cores? [23:10] Has anyone else had problems with the "lock Screen" option? if i leave it for too long, when i come back and login, it shows No GUI, it shows the wallpaper, but does not respond to any input, including Ctrl + Alt + Backspace [23:10] twois10: sadly they have stopped developing KDE3 after all these years [23:10] hmm.. I'm trying to "cat" many files (to combine them into one). The problem is that the beginning line of a txt file is printed after the last line in the previous file in the same sentence. I guess I'd like a line-feed at the end of every file. Any help? [23:10] okay... i thought dev-c++ only was for windows... i'll look at the website [23:10] twois10: ,but yes KDE3 is rather stable now [23:10] I have tried Passwords and Encryption menu in administration but I am unable to stop this awful behavior [23:11] twois10: KDE4 is I really don't like it, except some of those apps [23:11] res22, thanks for the try, maybe I just write a small script lol, can't be bothered with that long manual [23:11] I never purposely set it up this way [23:11] i am not a samba expert, but it should be possible i will see what i can figure out [23:11] Mark_Jones, 32bit has more packages. [23:11] ok [23:11] ok [23:11] Mark_Jones, i would go with 32bit [23:11] I didnt realize that. thats good to keep in mind. [23:11] i need samba for dummies lol [23:12] !samba | botux [23:12] botux: 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. [23:12] hi how do i set my user to log on automatically? [23:12] ok Do you know how usage goes with multicores? Does it utilize them at all? [23:12] Mark_Jones, it's reasonable to use 64bit editions if you have more than 3gb of ram [23:12] I see [23:12] mib_44rswv: why? [23:12] sebsebseb, i will continue to do kde4, i was about to add kd3 but i will hold on. this is a new install [23:12] sebsebseb: i read those yesterday its like a second language to me im confused [23:12] for some reason when I try to use my graphics card driver so that I can use the TV out, ubuntu has a problem detectng my video card [23:12] twois10: of which Ubuntu? [23:12] and the picture is emssed up [23:12] IMO 3GB in Linux is overkill [23:12] sebsebseb: because it's annoying to have to logon [23:13] sebsebseb, i am actually a suse user [23:13] Mark_Jones, 32bit and 64bit editions will make use of multi core processors nearly equall well [23:13] Gah... why is gnome-panel frozen? [23:13] the shoot me [23:13] cool [23:13] i meant to say dont shoot me [23:13] I then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [23:13] it resets to default generic card [23:13] any ideas? [23:13] Is it ok if I post a mobo and cpu combo Im concidering to buy so that maybe someone can say if itll work or not? That ok to do here? [23:13] Mark_Jones, there is a "bigmem" patch. (is it a patch?) that allows 32bit linux to address more memory, but from what i hear your mileage may vary [23:13] benjamin__, what graphic card are you using [23:14] twois10, why are you in #ubuntu if you are using SuSE? [23:14] hi how do i set my user to log on automatically? [23:14] Has anyone else had problems with the "lock Screen" option? if i leave it for too long, when i come back and login, it shows No GUI, it shows the wallpaper, but does not respond to any input, including Ctrl + Alt + Backspace :( [23:14] magcius, because we are cousins [23:15] ohcrap524, i had the same issues with 8.04 until i upgraded to intrepid [23:15] hassankevazir I am using a Mobile Intel 945GM Express chipset with integrated 3D graphics [23:15] http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4443927&csid=ITD&body=MAIN#detailspecs Can anyone say if this will work with Ubuntu as far as the sound and video are concerned at minimum? [23:15] then the intrepid upgrade seems to magically fix it. [23:16] later everyone, i'm outta here. [23:16] botux, i will see what instructions i can find [23:16] t_, yeah, i upgraded to intrepid within a few hours of getting system (preinstalled dell ubuntu system) came with hardy heron [23:16] Mark_Jones, i wouldnt worry about CPU and mobo. I would research more on gfx cards and wireless cards. [23:16] ok [23:16] i want to image one system to another .. 1st system is fat32 and the second is ntfs .. can i use partimage to make an image of the fat drive and then extract the image onto the new ntfs machine ? [23:16] my monitor won't turn on after I wake my computer after I put it in suspend mode. anyone have any ideas? [23:17] Well that board has onboard sound and video. So thats why I am asking. [23:17] hassankevazir the thing is my xorg file is not showing that [23:17] Mark_Jones, ah right [23:17] GeForce 8300 === Guest5589 is now known as Omni [23:17] does anyone know what package or files manage the "Lock Screen" option? [23:17] it is showing Identifier "configured video device" [23:18] I just got a bunch of updates and now I'm having problems with my sounds and wireless [23:18] ohcrap524: gnome-screensaver ? [23:18] crdlb, really? [23:19] cddlb: you think reinstalling that package would help? [23:19] crdlb* [23:20] gnome-panel freezes when I right-click Properties on either a Launcher or the panel itself. [23:20] Hi [23:20] benjamin__, I don't know anything about those, try this page http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_6.06.1_on_a_ThinkPad_R60e [23:20] It only happens when I have a panel on the right side. [23:20] i have an aspireone with ubuntu and i'm trying to figure out why my sound and wireless stopped workimg [23:20] working* [23:20] ohcrap524: hmm, it looks like something is freezing, and it's probably not gnome-screensaver :/ [23:21] how do i, from a windows box, create files/folders, with permissions that any account on the linux box can alter in any way. [23:21] How come when i load my computer i recive a error!!!!! [23:21] how come? [23:21] but I am running an acer :) [23:21] im trying to fix my mother-in-law's old ubuntu laptop i set up a long time ago, no one remembers the password for their account. is there a way i could somehow get into a desktop ? [23:21] the chipset is the same , do some googling with that name, you'll get a better result [23:21] crdlb: any ideas? its kind of hard to reproduce results, i have to leave for at least an hour before it happens and becomes unresponsive [23:21] I ran the command # sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [23:21] my monitor won't turn on after I wake my computer after I put it in suspend mode. anyone have any ideas? [23:22] it setup default valus [23:22] riegersn: there is a way and I read it on the web but I don't remember how nor where i read it from. [23:22] I tried to copy and paste the setup for xorg [23:22] so that it is custom to the intel [23:22] and it could not find my video card [23:22] riegersn: i'd say search google for lost linux passwords [23:22] ohcrap524: I have no ideas except to look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log(.old) after it locks up [23:23] riegersn, log in to recovery mode -> drop root shell -> type: passwd USERNAME [23:23] riegersn, and then fill in the new password [23:24] riegersn, or you can just add a new user account: adduser USERNAME [23:24] how do i, from a windows box, creating files on a linux server, create a file or folder with permissions which allow everyone to edit/alter/delete, etc? [23:25] brb trying soimething and I need to reboot [23:26] my monitor won't turn on after I wake my computer after I put it in suspend mode. anyone have any ideas? [23:26] hola [23:28] jimdb: you can ssh into the linux machine through a windows program called "putty", from there, you can use the command line to create files and folders [23:28] stealth: i think you misunderstand [23:29] stealth: i'm using a windows box to create files/folders through samba on the linux box and it is creating the files and folders with inadequate persmissions to alter/delete them. [23:29] jimdb: ah, okay. [23:29] hi [23:29] i'm looking for a video editing for gnome, i would make a video with some photos and a music in backgroung...what do you suggest me? [23:30] Hey is there any way to get imeem.com working with Linux and libflashplayer.so 10 64 bit? [23:30] jimdb: this might be able to help you: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-set-permissions-to-samba-shares.html [23:31] jimdb: im not sure if thats what your looking for, though, im not very familiar with samba [23:31] how can several pdfs be made into one? [23:31] concatenated [23:32] nevermind the cat command worked for that [23:32] RobotCow: scribus is a program to import pdf's and export them. You might be able to push all the pdf's together in the program and export them as one [23:33] rfgsdknmfdm;fm [23:33] RobotCow: k [23:33] HELLO! [23:33] i asked a question [23:33] !repeat | Krine11 [23:33] Krine11: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [23:34] crdlb: thank you for the advice, ill definitely look at that the next time it locks up :) [23:34] Krine11, you have to be more specific also [23:34] stealth-, im checking to see if this worked: cat ch01.pdf ch02.pdf > test.pdf [23:34] really quick, what is the cmd for changing file permission to write? chmod something something? [23:35] Krine11, if I say here that I get an error, how will people know how to fix it, if they just know it is an error? [23:35] chmod +w [23:35] Zeeded: be advised, that will give EVERYBODY write permissions to a file [23:35] Zeeded, chmod +w also - man chmod [23:35] +r is read-only? [23:35] Zeeded, as Huufarted said, you need to make sure that you set the right permissions [23:35] correct Zeeded. [23:36] ok thank you [23:36] isnt jboss in ubuntu repo ? [23:36] Zeeded, +r adds read [23:36] Zeeded, permissions are as follows... [23:36] RobotCow: i would think that wouldn't work because there might be headers and footers inside the pdf, but you can try [23:36] this is beginning to annoy me.. I cannot install an old version (one version old mind you) of firefox [23:36] the error i get when i boot my computer is cannot display this video mode optimum resolution 1280 x 1024 60 hz [23:37] anyone know how to add skype to repositories so i can donwload it? [23:37] zeeded: rwx rwx rwx. That's for user, group, other. r has a value of 4. w has a value of 2. x has a value of 1. To give permissions to write only to the owner, you'd use something like this: chmod 644 [23:37] botux: you can download skype from the website, nothing should interfear with it [23:37] Huufarted, thank you [23:37] botux: skype is commercial software and wouldn't be hosted in the main respritories, anyway [23:37] Zeeded: read + write = 6 + 4 = 6 [23:37] Zeeded: correction: 4+2 because I'm retarded [23:38] lol [23:38] lol === RedMushroom is now known as RedMushroom-AFK [23:38] botux i think it's on medibuntu [23:38] !medibuntu [23:38] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [23:39] Hi guys. [23:39] is there any way to download the package and the depends from the website diorectly? [23:39] trying to install the old version fails because it can;t download one of the deps [23:39] Zeeded, it might also be easier to remember it in terms of (g)roup, (u)ser, and (o)ther, then you can type something like this: chmod g+r which will give group read permissions [23:39] I thin [23:40] *I think [23:40] :P [23:40] euxneks: to avoid confusion, please use the order of user, group, and other. Don't change the order [23:40] lasivian, if you mean skype then i think so. i did a while back in hardy (before i ditched skype) [23:40] is there an actually worthy XMMS replacement ? [23:40] and yes, euxneks, that will work just fine [23:40] Huufarted, good point [23:41] hi [23:41] Zeeded, in any case, "man chmod" will tell you all this in more detail [23:41] why am I allowed to do sudo su and be root? [23:41] isn't that a security hazard [23:41] Barridus: I need any version of firefox other than 3.0.8 [23:41] or is it possible to add winamp presets to a gui (client?) of xmms2 [23:41] wahnfrieden, no. You can't do that unless your login is a member of the sudoers group [23:41] Barridus: When I upgraded today my CPU usage went ballistic even with no add-ons [23:41] wahnfrieden, also if you have the ability to sudo su then it's assumed it's not a security risk [23:41] Barridus:if I run 3.0.8 I can;t do anything else with the system at all [23:42] wahnfrieden: so unless someone specifically gave you permissions to run 'sudo' then you can't do 'sudo su -' [23:42] Hey everybody [23:42] lasivian, not surprising - it doesn't use the gtk toolkit like all of gnome uses, it uses some that kde uses. so you end up iwth a bunch of extra crap running and loaded into memory. that's why i ditched skype [23:43] Does anyone here play Alien Arena in 8.10? I need a little help getting it to it's most recent update [23:43] so what do I do === bonhoffer|away is now known as bonhoffer [23:45] lasivian, not sure. see if you can pull some of the QT stuff off the pc without breaking skype? or just switching to Kubuntu entirely? (since it shares the QT libraries) [23:45] I have 2 torrents that should have the exact same files, only the filenames differ between the torrents, is there any way I can rename all of them ine one go ? [23:45] lasivian, have you tried sudo apt-get autoremove ? [23:45] Iceman_B^Ltop, that's a rather unique request [23:46] Iceman_B^Ltop, check out "krename" - that may be what you want if I've understood you correctly [23:46] i would try that first if you have not already, it detects libraries and daemons and such that are orphaned dependencies that are loading for no reason [23:46] Ripzerskins:here you go https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuOnSunRay [23:46] hola, un canal ububtu en español [23:46] euxneks: does that require a gui? [23:46] Barridus: why do you keep talking about skype? [23:46] is that not your issue? i thought it was... [23:47] is this where you get help [23:47] Iceman_B^Ltop, yes [23:47] cosita: !spanish [23:47] i tried to join #support [23:47] if not, disregard the confusion [23:47] guess thats not it it brought me to an empty channel ##support [23:47] give me a hell yeah if you watched wreslemania 25 last sunday [23:47] Barridus: no, I am trying to install any version of firefox that is NOT 3.0.8 [23:47] I have a little problem with installing Ubuntu directly. I've been using Wubi for a while, but one day I decided to just install it to the disk. Well, after several minutes it didn't look like it was going anywhere, so I canceled it. Now I can't partition the disk. I think there's some incompletely partitioned space on the disk. How would I free this space? [23:47] !spanish [23:47] HammerHead66: Thanks, I think. I don't know what sunray is though. [23:47] !es [23:47] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [23:47] lasivian, oops XD [23:47] !hell yeah [23:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about hell yeah [23:48] test [23:48] someone was asking about skype around the same time and i got my discussion swapped ;) [23:48] anyone know how i can go about changing my login screen [23:48] linux sucks! [23:48] euxneks: I lack one :) but no matter, I'll just start the other torrent, It'll go way faster too [23:48] heh it's iceman [23:48] NTFS: we really care about your opinion in here :) [23:48] Hey is there any way to get imeem.com working with Linux and libflashplayer.so 10 64 bit? [23:49] Iceman_B^Ltop, yeah sorry [23:49] windows nt kernel is better than the linux kernel [23:49] <- also known as solidus [23:49] NTFS, then leave [23:49] NTFS: cool story bro [23:49] Iyunkateus: did you get an answer yet about your unpartitioned space? [23:49] NTFS, ..? [23:49] !troll | NTFS [23:49] Huufarted: No [23:49] !troll [23:49] trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubotu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [23:49] NTFS: please see above [23:50] apt-get install firefox-3.0=3.0.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 fails because it can;t get 2 deps :S [23:50] fuck [23:50] hahahah [23:50] that was fast :) [23:50] Dang you're fast, LjL. :) I was about to !ops [23:50] that was awesome [23:50] hi [23:50] gotta love the trolls [23:50] NTFS: I believe this is a channel for asking questions. The correct format is "Is windows nt kernel better than the linux kernel?" [23:50] Iyunkateus: do you need any of the data on the drive? [23:50] **** [23:50] !feeding the troll [23:50] The above mess was caused by someone who thought it was funny (they're gone now).

[23:51] too late [23:51] Iyunkateus: lol you're wasting your breath, LjL kicked him to the curb already [23:51] Yeah, saw that right after I pressed enter [23:51] i'm still amazed this place still gets trolls [23:51] Iyunkateus: Do you need any data on the drive you were attempting to install Ubuntu to? [23:51] Barridus, trolls are attracted to communities [23:51] Barridus, with 1400+ users, it's inevitable [23:52] i am having major problems with apt connecting to the internet, and i also have to put in a manual noproxy command to use wget. can anyone help me? [23:52] Barridus, especially with large amounts of user :) [23:52] trolls are attracted to anywhere there are people [23:52] you'd think after ms basically came as close as they ever have to saying "sorry about vista, give us a sec and we'll make a new os" XD [23:52] tyler: or kittens [23:52] !feeding the troll [23:52] The above mess was caused by someone who thought it was funny (they're gone now). Please ignore it completely, since discussing it and making a fuss will only make them think they've reached their "fun" goal. [23:52] Huufarted: If possible, I'd prefer to retain the Windows partition [23:53] well what about us? we haven't reached our "fun" goal. [23:53] insensitive bot D: [23:53] ok so, i havent used linux in a while and i forget most of it hah, im guessing if i just installed intrepid i have gnome? [23:53] tyler, yes [23:53] pm me if you can help me with my network issues [23:53] gnome and gtk toolkit [23:53] Iyunkateus: First make a backup of it just in case. I would use G4L for that. Well, or DD if you slave the drive. Otherwise, I would use a gparted liveCD to handle the repartitioning [23:53] so if i wanted to change my login screen i need gnome specific ones? [23:54] i have tried everything i can think of and i'm at the end of my rope [23:54] fultonh1: what errors are you getting? I'm not going to PM you. [23:54] ok [23:54] Huufarted: G4L standing for... [23:54] Iyunkateus: G4L is the name, but it stands for Ghost4Linux [23:54] no error, but apt-get tries to connect through a proxy i previously had set up [23:54] There's no point in saying "PM me" in the middle of a support channel [23:54] tyler, yes, you'll need gnome/gtk ones. there's a bunch in the repos. just include gnome or gtk in the synaptic search for login screens [23:54] anyone here use knowledge tree on ubuntu? [23:54] fultonh1: so it's using a proxy you no longer use? [23:54] curious if it works well [23:55] so i use synaptic package manager?

[23:58] fultonh1: err, why did you just send Huufarted !tab after he asked not to abuve the bot since you sent him !who? [23:58] fultonh1: in regards to your proxy issue, I have no experience with proxies and Ubuntu, so I will be of no help to you. I apologize. [23:58] LjL: I don't think he knew fully what I meant by abusing it. [23:58] huufarted: thanks anyway [23:58] I can't seem to get my desktop effects enabled and when I type fglrxinfo into the terminal i get a badrequest error also when I type compiz into the terminal I get a no whitelisted driver found [23:58] stealth-, i found the best way is a ghostscript command to combine pdfs [23:59] tyler_brb, well i still have the bookmark i used back for hardy. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=737918 dunno if it's still relevant, but may give you an idea where to start or what particular phrases to search for [23:59] RobotCow: ghostscript?
