[00:00] hello anyone familiar to grub4dos [00:00] dingleberry:have least one extended for flexibility [00:01] ciao scusate [00:01] devo entrare [00:01] in una irc [00:01] diversa [00:01] I have an iMac9. when I boot into a terminal I can type fine, but when I start x I have no keyboard or mouse. how do I get these to work? [00:01] Clopin: have you tried other games? [00:01] con canale server e porta diversa da questa [00:02] come faccio [00:02] chi mi aiuta [00:02] eqisow: Yeah I always use LVM [00:02] <_Brun0_> Help please. My mouse wount work in X11. I can move the mouse around but can't click anything. Keyboard doesn't work also. Any hints on debugging x11 mouse and keyboard in command-line? I might be able to configure them in etc/X11/xorg.conf but I don't knwo what to put there. [00:02] DasEi: One extended? Please elaborate. [00:02] scusate??????????? [00:02] DasEi: ie. what does that allow me to do later? [00:02] yasasvy: Not on Wine as I havent installed any others yet. Perhaps I should try it out. [00:03] vitopoma: i don't think there is a vhdl specific ubuntu derivate, userbase would be rather small; compiling that stuff manually is probably your best bet [00:03] c'è qualche italiano [00:03] ? [00:03] !it [00:03] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [00:03] thank you skybound :) [00:03] i'll compile :( [00:03] Clopin: What video card are you using? [00:03] dingleberry:you can have a maximum of (only) four primary partis on a drive, which are up easily fast, but you can define one (ore more) extended ones, anf in withinhin have a vast amount of logical drives that behave as single partis [00:04] ok grazie mille dell'aiuto [00:04] how do i know if comcast is filtering my usenet makign it go slower? [00:04] yasavy: Zepto GeForce 8800GT [00:05] Clopin: Did you install the required drivers for that? [00:05] dingleberry:it's always nice for backup purposes or trouble in fs to have seperate partis, also it's a security feature [00:05] yasasvy: COuld it be overheating? [00:05] can someone please give me some hints on grub4dos [00:05] vitopoma: you are welcome; probably not the answer you wanted. didn't want you to feel ignored :-) [00:06] yasasvy: I've installed nVidia 180.44 which should support the GeForce 8 Series [00:06] I want to upgrade to kernel 2.6.29.1. Is there anything special I need to do since I am running 64 bit ubuntu [00:06] Rangoe: what do you want to achieve ?

[00:09] tks DasEi, my company was running a 2003 server on an hp proliant ml, i rebooted the system today and it doesnt boot anymore, all i get is a window with 3 choices, spyhunter, windows xp and windows vista - any optin gives me an error 17 - file not found - set root - sh4ldr/vmlinuz - ive never used grub4dos in my life all my searches point to linux/ubuntu stuff which i know nothing === Guest50399 is now known as johnsirrss [00:09] hi all [00:09] <_Brun0_> yasasvy, ty! i'll try that [00:09] sup [00:09] anyone using jaunty beta and having python errors on updates? [00:09] Rangoe: do the other options work ? [00:09] ah one thing.. how can i partecipate in making ubuntu packages? for example i have successfully compiled alliance with apt-get -b source alliange and by changing slightly the source code: it compiles and works perfectly. how can i distribute it so users as me don't get mad in trying to compile (there are errors in source code and it don't compile well in gcc4.3)? [00:09] dasei: are you suggesting i do a full upgrade to 9.04 [00:10] DasEi none work [00:10] any1 here have giganews [00:10] abend, good evening [00:10] dasei: I really want to get the 'practice' of upgrading a kernel in for experience - I am just learning Linux [00:10] aaronator: the kernel you spoke of is the neweset available from kernel.org, I assume, jaunty is still beta, but newst release, why do want that kernel ? [00:10] !custom [00:10] DasEi im kinda desperate on this, i dont understand where did grub4dos came from or why does it show those 3 options it doesnt make any sense [00:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about custom [00:10] Hello, I want to add a line to apt.conf but ubuntu uses a apt.conf.d folder, I added the line to one of the files in it to use a proxy but it was removed after a reboot. What should I do to stop this? [00:11] !kernel [00:11] Hi, is there a way to have VNC running after I reboot ubuntu, so I can login to the X session with VNC? Right now, if I reboot, VNC won't engage unless I am physically at the box to login to the X session, then I can VNC in remotely. However, I need to VNC after a reboot to login to the X session, so I need VNC to be listening on the console GUI that's showing the login-screen immediately after [00:11] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [00:11] reboot. [00:11] dasei: experience [00:11] Rangoe: it sounds like there is a grub installed that doesn't boot anymore; do you kow if there was a linux on before ? [00:12] (i obtained alliance from revu) [00:12] DasEi im not sure it could be.. i didnt install it myself. What would you normally do in order to fix the boot [00:13] Why cant I find the latest stable Linux kernel (2.6.29.1) in Synaptic? [00:13] Clopin: Did you install WoW as specified by the community documentation? [00:13] Oh. [00:13] DasEi i would try an 2003 repair install but it doesnt boot from cd, only cd that boots is the one from hp which only allows me to do a clean install [00:13] yasasvy: Yep. [00:14] Clopin: because it's not there [00:14] oi [00:15] Hi, is there a way to have VNC running after I reboot ubuntu, so I can login to the X session with VNC?

[00:15] DasEi: so are there anything different I need to do because I have a 64bit OS? [00:16] Bossmanbeta: Are you using Gnome's VNC server? [00:16] aaronator : no, just the right kernel / headers / patches for 64 [00:16] !kernel [00:16] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [00:16] thanks [00:17] eqisow: Could you tell me how to upgrade to the latest kernel? I've read somewhere that it's always best to have the latest, and I wanted to see if it could fix some of my problems. [00:17] eqisow: yes, but it does not answer right after a reboot, I have to login at the console first. [00:17] hey guys can someone help me get compiz working with ubuntu 8.10 and i have fglrx driver my video card is x1650 pro [00:17] ?? [00:17] Bossmanbeta: That's because it's initialized by Gnome. ie. it starts when you log in [00:18] eqisow: how can I see the gui represented at the console remotely prior to login so I can login remotely? [00:18] Rangoe: that's bad, no live-cd bootable .. can you acces the drive in another way (f.e. hang the hd in a working pc ?) ? [00:19] Bossmanbeta: a different vnc server that's started by init might do it, but I'm not 100% on that. X over ssh is an option as well [00:19] DasEi: yea thats another issue.. the 5 hds are ~SAS which means i cant connect em to a sata (no cables) [00:19] dingleberry:sound interesting, I never done else then raid 0/1 , so no help from me there [00:20] Bossmanbeta: You may want to take a look at FreeNX as well [00:20] Clopin: you should compile the kernel from source code [00:20] vitopoma: personally i would try to push compile fixes to the upstream project (if it is still active); concerning ubuntu the is some "contributing" page somewhere on the website (the basic process goes like: get a mentor to check your pkg and upload it; debian-like [i am going to get flamed for this no doubt]) [00:20] eqisow: I need to see the actual session presented on the monitor, remotely -- when I launch vnc4server on :0, all I see is a grey screen with a terminal... which doesn't help, since I need to see the actual gui shown on the monitor (gdm login + the gnome session displayed as though I was at the console, remotely) [00:20] if its software raid thats the only good option you have @ dingleberry [00:20] Rangoe: but you say the hp disk boots.., which other boot-cd's did you try ? [00:21] hey guys can someone help me get compiz working with ubuntu 8.10 and i have fglrx driver my video card is x1650 pro [00:21] DasEi only the hp one, i tried the 2003 server bootable cd on my home computer and its bootable and workin [00:21] vitaliy_: What isn't working?

[00:22] !live | Rangoe [00:22] Rangoe: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option.

[00:23] and * [00:23] mib_1z1zrv: older version ubuntu livecd had a bug, which overwritte dm-crypt encrypted partitions [00:23] Anyone know how to stop flickering in native ubuntu games? [00:23] E: Couldn't find package compiz-settings-manager [00:23] thank you sky, i'll try it. why flame? we are trying to make ubuntu better :) now i go sleep. goodnight every one and thank you for your answer :) [00:23] i gues not [00:23] Anyone? [00:24] !ask [00:24] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

I don't think gnome's does what you want [00:25] DasEi that server is working as a dhcp server / domain server, all the ppl that work in the company saved their files in there. i guess it would be used for business [00:25] Ripzerskins: Disable compiz if you are using it [00:25] yasasvy: It doesn't make a difference. [00:25] hi ius there a package of sage 3.4? [00:26] scx: Are you saying its better to make Ubuntu a local install and harden the Kernel from there? [00:26] yasasvy: By that I mean, when I do disable it, it still flickers. [00:26] Any way to make some arbitrary sized disk image ? [00:26] Rangoe : so first get these two live-cd's, then first back up the mbr before starting any screwing ( case it gets worse) , then check out which os(es) are on it, then we can see on [00:26] type this in your terminal and tell me the output "glxinfo | grep rendering" [00:27] hi [00:27] DasEi is grub4dos similar to partition magic as a software?

[00:56] crdlb: is ext4 exotic ? [00:56] xkucf03: raid? [00:56] mroc: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [00:56] spaceBARbarian: on intrepid, it would be quite ... [00:56] Mion: yes, raid + LVM [00:57] crdlb: no im installing jaunty, so i guess ill just do / and /home [00:57] Hello everyone [00:57] i locked myself out of my home server, how can i remove the lock, i have physical access to it [00:57] xkucf03: keep your /boot outside of the raid/lvm [00:57] with ssh [00:57] DasEi: reconfiguring ... then a warning that ifup -a is disabled in favour of Network Manager. [00:57] spaceBARbarian: that sounds alright, and give / a 10 GB [00:57] spaceBARbarian: then you're in the wrong channel, but you seem to know that [00:57] crdlb: I am using nVidia Drivers v180 [00:58] I updated to jaunty two days ago. I believe I got a regression from intrepid in the access [00:58] Mion: but i have /boot on LVM on RAID [00:58] now i am unable to boot :( [00:58] in the wireless access [00:58] omer666: via the ubuntu package? [00:58] spaceBARbarian: do want to crypt the system ? [00:58] !jaunty [00:58] 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. [00:58] xkucf03: move it out of the raid [00:58] i can boot from usb disk and access my files [00:58] crdlb : yes [00:58] DasEi: not really [00:58] but running lilo command fails with: Fatal: device-mapper: only linear boot device supported [00:58] ok LjL [00:59] I use 8.10 stable packages [00:59] <_Brun0_> Can I test is mouse/keyboard is working in X11 without installing any window mananger? [00:59] i locked myself out of my home server with ssh, how can i remove the lock, i have physical access to it [00:59] thanks [00:59] omer666: then install nvidia-glx-180-dev [00:59] sveakex: What sort of 'lock'? [00:59] omer666, bur not 8.04 LTS ? [00:59] spaceBARbarian: so you're fine, you don't even have to seperate home, though nice for backup-purposes / fs problems; don't forget a parti for swap [00:59] xkucf03, lilo has been largely phased out in favor of grub i doubt you'll find any help on it here [00:59] piegod: it won't ask my for a username or password in putty [00:59] good morning folks. [00:59] me* [01:00] DasEi: yeah already did swap, i want home on a separate disk so i have to make that different [01:00] sveakex: If you have physical access, why not plug in a monitor, mouse and keyboard and see if it still works that way [01:00] piegod: i am logged in physically [01:00] Hey, I'd like some opinions on programs. I'm setting up a public computer for a music store (sells records, instruments, stuff for instruments, and has lessons there) what kind of programs should I put on it? It will be ubuntu. [01:00] sveakex, try restarting ssh daemon [01:00] sveakex: Restart SSH? [01:00] i was gonna ask who ankhow was but i found out by searching [01:00] spaceBARbarian, thats easy,,, i can help [01:00] ah, beat me to it :D [01:00] hes pming every1 [01:00] piegod, usser: tried that already but i can try it again [01:01] spaceBARbarian: go ahead, but 4 g can become small due to lots of additional progs, /tmp and logs [01:01] sveakex, can you ping the server? [01:01] sveakex, can you ping from the server? [01:01] sveakex: Are you using DHCP for the server's IP address? [01:01] DasEi: im not giving root 4 gb, im giving it 10gb, is that good enough ? [01:01] spaceBARbarian, more than enough [01:01] crdlb: hey thanks it works ! [01:01] root 10gb!?! [01:01] hwo did is ur harddrive [01:02] big [01:02] mroc: so there's sth with your networkmanager, check the options out, do they negoiate any of the other settings ? [01:02] Hey, I have Ubuntu installed on my Toshiba laptop. I'm using an Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family Video card and it isn't working right, I can't even startup to login because I just see stripes lol [01:02] spaceBARbarian:should be [01:02] i installed some updates that included fglrx from synaptic, now, after a reboot I get "Saw signal 11. Server Aborting" "giving up" etc... [01:02] grkblood13: root as in tmp usr var ... [01:02] piegod, usser: somehow restarting ssh worked [01:02] o [01:02] didn't work before [01:02] lol [01:02] sveakex, heh. [01:03] piegod. usser: thanks :) [01:03] sveakex: Odd, but meh [01:03] sveakex, cool. [01:03] :) [01:03] if im running an IRC server on Ubuntu, behind the NAT on my DSL modem, is their any point to using IPTables? I don't think there would be... [01:03] DasEi: not sure what you mean by that. network manager handles the wireless connection properly. whenever i try to configure the wired connection as "shared to other computers" i get that read-only message i was talking about. no idea how to begin fixing that. [01:03] launchpad.net down? [01:03] piegod, usser: yeah :s x) [01:04] Zaraphrax: I don't use IPtables and I'm fine with an IRC server [01:04] hello there do you know where can i find the directory of the plugins for firefox? [01:04] let me rephrase, is bugs.launchpad.net ssl not responding for anyone? [01:04] * SHiNDiGGA Waves Hello [01:05] Zaraphrax: shorewall is an easy firewall [01:05] Zaraphrax: afaik, haven't used it [01:05] sveakex: ive used shorewall about 2 years now on debian. very nice [01:05] But is there any point to using it if i'm already behind a NAT on my modem? [01:05] Hey, I have Ubuntu installed on my Toshiba laptop. I'm using an Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family Video card and it isn't working right, I can't even startup to login because I just see stripes lol [01:05] troubled: easy to set up? [01:05] sveakex, Zaraphrax have you looked at Endian? [01:05] bye guys [01:05] Anacranom: nope [01:06] No I haven't. Should I? [01:06] sveakex: pretty much ya. if you know about ipfwadm->ipchains->iptables, this should be a cake walk :) [01:06] sveakex: just more tedious than anything since you gotta go through every file and tweak tweak tweak, read, tweak etc. [01:06] sveakex, Zaraphrax look at it and see what it offers, its very easy if you have the hardware [01:06] mroc: eth0 isn't the wireless, should be ath0 or similar [01:06] sveakex: it works with ipset's though, which is very handy [01:07] troubled: i don't know iptables.. xD [01:07] Anacranom: Ok, will do thanks. [01:07] Anacranom: alright, endian right? [01:07] DasEi: wlan0 is the wireless, eth0 is the wired. the wireless connects to the outside world, the wired connects to the computer i'd like to share the access to. [01:08] sveakex: well, its dealing with the iptables commands behind the scenes for you, but you still sorta gotta understand what it is you want to allow in, like tcp or udp, and what port(s) etc [01:08] mroc: I will leave now, ask for someone with wireless on, dealing the message you get at networking restart [01:08] DasEi: ok. thank you for your help. [01:08] How many IRC users do you guys think I can handle on a DSL line with 64k upload (Just chat, no CTCP)? [01:08] sveakex, Zaraphrax http://www.endian.com/en/community/ [01:08] troubled: well it can't be so difficult :P [01:09] i can't get network manager to stop giving me a read-only error. can someone help me? [01:09] Thanks, I'll give that a try. [01:09] troubled: i mean the programs which are infront of iptables [01:09] Anacranom: cool :) [01:09] sveakex: eg: ACCEPT:info loc:+test $FW tcp 10,20,30,1234 [01:09] troubled: well i will have to take a look into it [01:09] is there a CLI command to roll back a change made by synaptic? [01:10] sveakex: ^^^^ accept, with a INFO line in the syslog, anything from my local zone, who are in the ipset called "test", to connecto to tcp ports 10, 20, 30 and 1234 on the firewall itself [01:10] Why doesn't my wifi work? (hahhahaha) [01:10] troubled: well it's easier now that you have explained it :P [01:10] mroc: have you tried wicd instead of n/w mgr [01:10] sveakex: all shorewall does is basically turn all its config files into lots and lots of iptables calls and loads that file [01:10] pokethesmot, is it "on"? [01:11] how do i turn it on? [01:11] Any chance a Lexmark X8350 can be made to work in Kubuntu? [01:11] troubled: cool :) [01:11] sveakex, Zaraphrax http://www.endian.com/en/community? [01:11] Anacranom: i am looking :P [01:11] ...i accidently updated kernal headers on a custom netbook kernal. [01:11] sveakex, Zaraphrax sorry,,, MT [01:11] = no more wifi. im starting over. [01:11] yasasvy: no, i haven't. nm works for my wireless just fine, but i can't set the wired side to the "shared" option. [01:11] Secret Stuff like, Ubuntu [01:12] Anacranom: i think i forgot to tell you i was... x) [01:12] CUPS [01:12] am i invisable? [01:13] pokethesmot, is this a laptop or a desktop [01:15] how do i add a menu item on the options menu before login? [01:15] is there a way to remove the ESD from ubuntu completly? [01:15] pokethesmot, the reason i ask is because some laptop bios's do not turn on the wireless during the live cd install wich tells the bios to have it in the "off" state upon the first boot [01:15] is http://bugs.launchpad.net/ taking forever to load for anyone else? [01:15] options then sessions and then i want to add an entry to the menu not not there already [01:15] or did I just get a bad ip in dns? [01:16] i'm getting a read-only error from network manager when trying to change the wired connection to "shared"...can anyone help me? [01:16] Where should I put a script to have it run at startup? [01:17] i installed some updates that included fglrx from synaptic, now, after a reboot I get "Saw signal 11. Server Aborting" "giving up" etc... Is there a CLI command to roll back a change made by Synaptic??

[01:18] Wavesonics: you would have to create a desktop file. Use the gui [01:18] how would I go about copying the mbr from /dev/hdd to /dev/hdc ? [01:18] jrib: This is a server install [01:18] no GUI [01:18] i have the file already, its a BASH script [01:18] Wavesonics: then I assume you want it to start before any user logs in?

Is there anyone here that could assist me in solving the problem I have encountered? [01:23] histo: hmm, is there a list or I would assume? [01:23] !ask > Guest89825 [01:23] Guest89825, please see my private message [01:24] LakesProse: there are hardware compatibility lists in the wiki let me get you a link [01:24] mroc: try sudo ifup eth0 [01:24] histo: thanks [01:24] LakesProse, I am currently running a server with a sata drive and a desktop with two sata drives and a pata drive all on linux..no problems here [01:24] CoJaBo-Aztec: have you checked Lexmark's site for info on linux? occationally you'll find drivers.. I just bought a Brother all in one network machine and can print fine but haven't been able to get the scan or fax portion to work yet despite available drivers. [01:24] /etc/init.d/ <- is this the area i should be looking? [01:25] and do you like, put he pci card on the motherboard, plug in the SATA drives and they woudl appread as /dev/sdc or /dev/sdd or something ?! [01:25] hello how can i install screensavers in kubuntu pls [01:25] LakesProse: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport This is not a complete list it is community developed so keep that in mind. The best way to see if your hardware is supported is just to boot the install cd. Which will function as a live distro [01:25] Wavesonics: what are you looking for [01:25] im having issues seeing samba shares on my windows box can someone assist [01:25] rogue780: well I was thinking about sata drives connected *through* a PCI card to the motherboard [01:25] is ubuntugeek.com trustworthy for guides? I want to install kde 4.2 on this ubuntu 8.10 box [01:25] and would also like to see my windows shares onmy ubuntu box [01:25] thiebaude: Neither do I, unfortunately it looks like the computer will not be usable with any linux at all :/ [01:25] histo: I have a script i need to run on startup, thats all. how can I do this? [01:25] yasasvy: that killed my wireless connection. [01:25] histo: from command line [01:25] histo: I'll order the PCI SATA-adapter on the web so it's do&fail [01:25] canuck1: its not supported here if something breaks [01:26] LakesProse, as long as the sata controller on the card is supported by linux...i'd assume it would be since that's at the hardware/bios level [01:26] LakesProse: that card would be a SATA pci adaptor card and .. yes.. it'll typically see it.. [01:26] Wavesonics: put it in /etc/rc.local [01:26] Scunizi: Lexmark has specificly stated they intend not to support Linux. [01:26] histo: kde or ubuntu geek? [01:26] mroc: I am sry but is eth0 your wireless connection? [01:26] CoJaBo-Aztec: ah.. then it's time to give money to a different company.. [01:26] Scunizi: all right, so it would still appear somewhere in /dev/, I wouldn't have to pull any weird tricks [01:26] Lexmark != Linux [01:26] Wavesonics: or you can add it to your session in System > Preferences > session it will get executed when you log in. if its in rc.local it will get executed on startup [01:27] Lexmark hates linux and kills puppies [01:27] canuck1: i've used both i prefere ubuntu. You might be able to get more help on the issue in #kubuntu [01:27] LakesProse: not typically..if the card is recognized the drives will be accessable.. all drives on the current itterations of Ubuntu are known as sd even ide drives.. [01:27] histo: ok, so rc.local is the ONLY way to do it at boot? [01:27] Wavesonics: no their are other ways [01:27] rc.d [01:27] Wavesonics: rc.d system [01:27] where do I save .py scripts? :D this one http://exit66.com/?p=272 actually [01:28] wers: anywhere [01:28] Wavesonics: but i'm not too familiar with that way. rc.local is the old school way [01:28] histo, what about a cron job? [01:28] yasasvy: no. wlan0 is wireless, connected to internet. eth0 is wired, connected to computer i want to share internet access to. [01:28] is the source code in the linux-source-2.6.27 package exactly the source code used to build my kernel in Intrepid, namely 2.6.27-11-generic? [01:28] Scunizi: Printer was bought long before Linux was considered as an option. Any suggestions for when the Lexmark breaks? [01:28] I want to add a python module, but I can't figure out where the modules are saved, where are they? [01:28] Scunizi, 9.04 recognizes both my pata and sata drives as hd [01:28] I am trying to get Sipie installed to listen to Sirius. It says it was unable to get session bus, and then I get a bunch of .py errors. what am I missing? [01:28] Wavesonics: Anacranom in linux there are plenty of ways to accomplish the same thing [01:28] LakesProse: the only hoops to jump are if you're adding these drives to an existing system. YOu may have to modify fstab [01:28] lstarnes, it will just work as long as it's on my filesystem? [01:28] rogue780: really? hardy and intrepid were all sd [01:28] wers: as long as it is on your filesystem and the python interpreter can read it [01:28] Wavesonics: I guess the proper "debian" way would be using update-rc.d [01:29] CoJaBo-Aztec: hehe.. now? === Guest89825 is now known as Patrick [01:29] histo: hehe true... Also 1 more question, I set up a process to run at boot months ago. and now forgot where I did it, so I can't stop it! Any sugestions? [01:29] lol [01:29] lstarnes, so how do i ensure that the python interpreter can read it? [01:29] CoJaBo-Aztec: "jeez.. a book just fell on it and now it's not working" [01:29] Scunizi, i don't know if it matters, but it's currently just a live cd running and the two sata drives are laptop sata drives [01:29] where in ubuntu is the setting for adjusting screen brightness? [01:29] Wavesonics: /etc/rc.local ? === Patrick is now known as Guest58269 [01:29] Wavesonics: so if you sudo update-rc.d scriptname defaults it would put it in runlevel 2 3 4 and 5 [01:29] hmmm. why would pidgin autostart, when it's not set to in Startup Applications, and "Remember Running Apps" is unchecked there as well. Maybe UNR (which i am running?) [01:29] wers: there usually is nothing extra you need to do that. To be safe, chmod u+rx file.py [01:29] Wavesonics: man update-rc.d for more information [01:29] Is there anyone familiar with Sipie? [01:30] rogue780: might be.. I don't think they've changed the sub system that drasticly again. [01:30] oops wrong chan, disregard. [01:30] mgolisch: I greped for it in rc.local, it's not in there :/ [01:30] wers: technically it doesn't even need the .py if its first line is like #!/usr/bin/env python [01:30] lstarnes, thanks. that makes the file an executable, yes? [01:30] excuse me, I use Ubuntu9.10. When I and a new user, it's unluky the Tab auto-completion is not working, and then i find the .bashrc not working too. so someone give me some help? [01:30] !unr [01:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about unr [01:30] thx histo [01:30] i need to roll back some changes from synaptic but i only have access via the command line at present, what should i do?

[01:32] the brightenss popup shows up but the brightness does not change. where can i find these setting in the OS?

[01:59] GIMP [01:59] i just need some very simple graphic tool [01:59] sliverchair, GIMP [01:59] GIMP is more like Photoshop [01:59] I know KDE has Krita... [01:59] FrozenFire: too slow [01:59] sliverchair: :\ GIMP is far from slow. [01:59] I mean like notepad for graphics [01:59] sliverchair-- http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1328794&seqNum=2&rll=1 [01:59] I'm sure there are vector graphics applications in the repositories [02:00] sliverchair, you might be able to run paint with WINE === badass is now known as ddoggx [02:00] How about osalt.com? [02:00] Xcell, i'm reading the help file and it requires python plugin for xchat. i'm not sure how to determine if i have that or not. [02:00] i'm trying gpaint [02:01] I don't think he wants a vector graphics program [02:01] Barridus-- i just ran it..it installs it [02:01] Raster and vector are two entirely different worlds [02:01] wait [02:01] is gimp slow? [02:01] ...i need to compile source code (for wine) i think im supposed to run commands at the dir i want compiled. how can i do this? unless there is a better wau [02:01] IMHO GIMP still needs redesigning. [02:01] make sure you install regular xchat and not xchat-gnome [02:01] I am trying to setup a route to my xbox360 on the same network as my computer. The xbox has DHCP turned on, and it's automatically recieving the netmask 255.255.255.0 from my router. I try to add it with route add -net 192.168.1.116 netmask 255.255.255.0 and route gives me an error saying netmask doesn't match the address... what. [02:02] nice, gpaint is what exactly i meant [02:02] Xcell, yeah i use reg xchat. xchat-gnome took away my happy [02:02] ok..then install lemmings.. [02:02] Too many buttons. Can't they be grouped into a single button? [02:02] off to try it, brb [02:02] ok [02:02] Also, why is it that GIMP on Windows respects the single taskbar button/utility windows thing when on Linux, it's just like 2.4. :/ [02:03] is there a easy way to compile source code in a dir? [02:03] and or how? [02:03] Hey, what is the color coding on ls in console? [02:03] ddoggx: ./configure && make? [02:03] I dunno, different programs have different buildsystems [02:03] ddoggx: read the readme, usually it's ./configure if there is a configure file [02:04] ddoggx: it depends on what else is in there. If you have a configure script and a Makefile.in, FoxBlitzz's method works [02:04] Hello, I want to add a line to apt.conf but ubuntu uses a apt.conf.d folder, I added the line to one of the files in it to use a proxy but it was removed after a reboot. What should I do to stop this? [02:04] I can't help but honestly feel like I'm the only person to ever encounter circular dependencies. [02:04] Hey, what is the color coding on ls in console? Or is there a command I can use to find out? [02:04] Mewtwo: I feel your pain [02:04] It's making it impossible to compile Peng [02:04] Im_Toast: try dircolors [02:04] thus, impossible to get online.

[02:13] i see [02:13] mgolisch: I guess indirectly, but that's more the resulting processes then the actual commands. I was actually interested in what commands a user is executing, but it might make more sense to just lock down the commands a user is able to execute. [02:13] it should be Makefile [02:13] i found what i need thnx anyway man :) [02:13] ok [02:13] Are you making your own makefile from scratch, or what? :) [02:13] Trying to boot the Ubuntu Server 8.10 Server CD and it loads as far as "Loading...boot" and goes no further.

[02:43] WPA2 enterprise wont work at all in 8.10 because of wpa-supplicant [02:43] Xcell, i got lemming script to work, i just copied it into the .xchat2 folder manually. the script is wonky i guess.

I know this will work. How do I force umount? [02:46] nikitis If you are trying to install something under wine..

[02:55] what do i do about this [02:55] RaNdY, i suspect xorg (the gui manager) is confiured badly and it's directing the video to something nonexistant (the nvidia driver of that 400 series seems buggy and bad in my experience) [02:55] http://pastebin.com/m69d97772 [02:55] Jack_Sparrow : Yes, even having trouble going to live CD.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [02:58] RaNdY, probably googling for xorg.conf tips for your particular hardware version. [02:58] Okey Jack_Sparrow, I'll also note that. [02:58] RaNdY, i found one for my geforce go mx440 that worked on my old laptop, but it would probably not work for your desktop. it was pretty well laid out with code you can paste, etc. you may have similar results [02:58] mjgaming: you want something that's not super-old. 9.04 comes out in a few days. 8.10 is newest; 8.04 is the latest long term release [02:59] or not [02:59] Barridus, can you notice me the URL wherein you've found those xorg conf? [03:00] sammyF: I got the packages jackd & qjackctl installed. [03:00] mu2: I installed mixxx to try it out. looks like it really needs some midi stuff [03:01] sammyF: I see "Jack Control" under "Sound & Video". I am running _ubuntu_ intrepid [03:01] usser: hey thanks, but the info need som decihping what am i looking for [03:01] mu2: k .. start jack control [03:02] mrthraz1, cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor [03:02] RaNdY, i'm not certain this will work for you, but it may at least give you some context for what you are looking for. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=528207 note the part about "DFP-0" that was necessary. but it may be different for your computer. [03:02] mrthraz1, does it say something like processor 0 processor 1 [03:02] mrthraz1, two lines [03:02] sammyF: started. There is a "Start" button that I suppse will start the jackd daemon ? [03:02] how can I find which process is using my network connection? [03:02] mu2: you should be able to start mixxx now === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:02] mu2: yep [03:03] RaNdY, basically follow the steps to stop gdm, edit the xorg.conf as said and see if it works on reboot. if it does not, you'll have to look for a replacement for "DFP-0" [03:03] mu2: you can then use patchage to link inpout and outputs of the various jack enabled applications together [03:03] Hi,does anyone know why this happens lately.I using Firefox and it crashes at the most. [03:03] usser: cpuid level : 1 [03:03] or it freezes my PC> [03:03] thanks Barridus and Jack_Sparrow. I'll try all to boot now. bbl. [03:04] Mrspry: is there any specific site that is crashing it.. like flash etc ? [03:04] mrthraz1, eh this command: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor [03:04] mrthraz1, thats what it returns? [03:04] sure Youtube and Facebook. [03:04] im trying to download via bzr, but it says i dont have any ssh keys registered on launchpad... how does it work? [03:04] sammyF: when I open mixx, I now see Jack as one of the options in "Sound API". [03:04] ok RaNdY, good luck. also if you search for a replacement for DFP-0, you might specify what port you are using on your card model [03:04] sammyF: I still get failure when I choose Jack... [03:04] Mrspry: try epiphany.. its lightweight and nice.. i had the same problem with firefox and now its good with epiphany [03:05] usser: it says prossesor 0 [03:05] Mrspry: sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser [03:05] mrthraz1, only one core then [03:05] well the same with that...I think is the flash thing again? [03:05] i'm looking around /etc/init.d and can't find where dhclient gets started. anyone know where that might be? [03:05] hmm.. which version of flash are you using ? [03:05] sammyF: didn't open patchage last time... will retry [03:06] how can i detect if the ethernet cable is plugged or unplugged? [03:06] i wonder how that happend, it must have happend in the upgrade to intreped [03:06] hey, I cant seem to get my nvidia card to work properly in ubuntu. it says something about 'nvidia xserver not running.' I followed the instructions, b ut they dont seem to work [03:06] I have epiphany browser and it does the same. [03:06] Mrspry: try upgrading to the latest flash version if not already [03:06] well so far there is it any? are they? [03:07] usser: any idea how i would go about getting both my cores used [03:07] mu2: hmm ... can't connect mixx to the standard output somehow.. weird [03:07] sammyF: after opening jack and patchage, mixx doesn't startup anymore for me [03:08] I'm having trouble installing Xubuntu on an older PC, because neither its partioner, nor Gparted (from SystemRescueCD), will detect the *new* 80 GB WD harddrive. The BIOS detects it fine, and even Ranish (the low-level partioner) detects it fine. [03:08] What can I try, in order to get *buntu / Gparted to properly read the disk, so that I can install *buntu on it? [03:09] mrthraz1, i wouldn't know sorry [03:09] I tried Cable Select and Master on the jumper settings. [03:10] Nothing seems to change the fact that *buntu will not detect the hard disk. [03:10] torn, that was what I was thinking the problem might be. [03:10] mu2 THAT is weird [03:10] mu2: I can start mixxx alright .. just can't seem to be able to get any sound from it [03:10] jdu, but Ranish reads the disk fine, and so does the BIOS. [03:11] usser thank anyway you really help me out [03:11] Mrspry: depends on the flash you are using [03:11] mu2: you might have to restart alsa. you can do that in a terminal by typing sudo alsa force-reload [03:11] right. [03:11] mrthraz1, no problem [03:11] Mrspry: adobe flash is at 10.0.22.87 [03:11] Ok. [03:11] oh ,i just want to know when my ethernet cable is unplugged, so i can do something for that! [03:11] I got the Tar.gz file Am about to install it. [03:11] torn, true, it doesn't make sense. [03:12] cypher1: that address isnt even routeable [03:12] Any other ideas? :( [03:12] cypher1: oh nevermind I'm an idiot [03:12] torn, have you tried using parted? [03:12] I don't know how to use it, honestly. [03:12] I see a prompt like this: [03:12] (parted) [03:13] And even reading the document just confused me more. [03:13] hey, where do the xconfig guru-types hang out? [03:14] Hey does anyone know of any ppa repositories that serve the new 0.9.x versions of VideoLAN VLC for Hardy LTS? Or any way to get a hold of packages of 0.9.x releases of VLC For Hardy LTS? [03:14] torn, try help [03:14] sammyF: did alsa force-reload. after that mixx did startup. [03:14] torn, "print all" will show what is there [03:14] sammyF: however, still no audio output from mixxx. === jscinoz_ is now known as jscinoz [03:15] sammyF: I see a lot of qt4 dependencies on mixxx and I noticed when I opened system>prefs>QT4 Settings the phonon tab was greyed out [03:16] jdu, I'm doing a "quick pass" with DBAN before trying parted / gparted.

I got it running as dual boot with XP but have to fiddle for ages to get the GUI to come up. [03:17] Hey guys how do i know if my firefox version is the 64 or the 32 bit version? [03:17] mu2: if it's any consolation : I can't get any output from mixxx neither [03:17] torn To get live cd to show your missing hard drive this often helps..At start or install press F6 and add all_generic_ide before the "--" [03:17] hellpo [03:17] hello~ [03:17] torn, another way: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 WARNING: do not do anyone unless you know context and what you are doing!!!!

WHat happens when I boot is get ACPI: No DMI BIOS year and then I drop to shell. I seem to be getting a timeout because an eror complains about /dev/disk/by-uuid/ not existing when it is there.

[03:25] mu2: no idea. try it out [03:25] kramster-- depending on the bios.. you could speed up both the buss and mem latency.. the variances depend on the hardware [03:26] Mewtwo: it sure fixed my nostalgia [03:26] kramster-- but being the mem is only pc 133.. you should have @leats 1 gig [03:26] StevenX: I am sry but try using replace instead of enable [03:27] xcell - I thought about trying Xubuntu but I got even more errors. [03:27] compiz --replace? [03:27] yup [03:27] eseven73 not sure where I find "preferences" I'm looking [03:27] but cant find it [03:27] ya kramster its a pain.. youll get it.. [03:27] Davide, system >preferences > sound [03:27] sammyF: thanks, [03:28] Davide, from the menu I think it's System then Preferences? [03:28] xcell - I'll have a tweak in the BIOS, but firstly do you think I should aim for Xubuntu instead? [03:28] dont feel bad kramster i have to load a 800mhz dell tomorrow for a customer.. joy. [03:29] i cant see my samba shares on my windows any ideas why [03:29] kramster-- U could give it a try.. but the very last thing you need to install is any eye candy.. get the machine running first [03:29] under system I have: Add/Remove, Authorizations, Hardware Drivers, Hardware Testing, Mythbuntu Control centre, Mythbuntu Log Grabber, MythTV Backend Setup, Network TOols, Nvidia X server settings, services, shared folders, software sources, synaptic package manager, time and date, update manager, users and groups [03:29] how do I kill an application that I don't know the name of? (using icewm, so kill applet in the gnome-panel isn't applicable) [03:29] and tha's it [03:30] eseven73 [03:30] Xcell - I can actualy get Gnome running after a lot of fiddling (not knowing what I'm doing - CTRL keys whatever - if I fiddle for 10 minutes it comes up). WHen Gnome does come up everything runs nicely - I even got my Netgear wifi card working. [03:30] StevenX: did you try that? [03:30] look in Mystbuntu control centre [03:30] im not familiar with mythbuntu, but thats just a guess davide [03:31] kramster-- just remember.. its not a fast machine.. waiting for pgms to respond takes patients [03:31] Xcell - I'll go and play now - thanks for your help. [03:31] any time [03:31] yasasvy, did not work. [03:32] yasasvy, yes [03:32] eseven73 I'm adding "ubuntu Desktop" maybe I'll have the option once I do that [03:33] Zopiac, xkill [03:33] usser: thanks [03:33] garlic toast? [03:33] thank you for the help [03:33] why yes please [03:33] btw [03:33] hey guys... http://paste.ubuntu.com/148061/ i want my synaptics to be able to function as it does in windows. [03:33] it says it has 12 buttons [03:34] Davide, is there a reason you use Mythbuntu over Ubuntu? [03:34] and there's a lot of parameters. [03:34] well I am trying to setup a DVR [03:34] you can install mythtv in ubuntu [03:34] eseven73 that's the only reason it is hooked up to my TV [03:34] plus currently it's backlight is on. I want to know how to configure that as well. [03:35] StevenX: Is this the first time you using compiz? [03:35] yasasvy, no. I've set it up before. [03:35] Hey guys I'm FED UP with Vista on my Eee PC. I think I'm at the right place [03:35] Barridus I tried that in the past a long time ago and I went through a lot of pain to no avail... I figured I'd give it another shot, and had hoped that Mythbuntu might be easier, more tailored to do what I needed... [03:35] Davide, ok well again I know next to nothing about mythbuntu really, so Im not sure how much further I could help at this point, if my above "Fix" doesnt work for you [03:35] Kirill-- U sure are. [03:36] well I've burned an ubuntu cd I can go ahead and install that instead [03:36] thinking about it [03:36] yasasvy, somehow, it is working now. [03:36] thank you very much. [03:36] I'm guessing if I download the ubuntu desktop it should be the same thing? [03:36] I was disappointed with Mythbuntu last time I tried it. Too many things didn't seem to work. I've had good luck installing mythtv over regular Ubuntu [03:36] my method of fixing sound, works 99% of the time for those with just plain Ubuntu 8.10 [03:36] anyone familiar with synaptics?? [03:36] StevenX, ok [03:36] all right eseven73 I will install ubuntu if this doesnt work [03:36] I was planning to try it anyway :D [03:36] Davide, I would just get regular Ubuntu, and stick some DVR functions in it [03:36] Xcell -> thanks :) Well here are my concerns, I must have Outlook/Office 2007/Adobe Reader/BlackBerry Support and a address book management software used by my company. Can I run all that in Wine? [03:37] sounds like a plan :) [03:37] Davide, that way the gurus in here could help you 100% [03:37] Kirill-- someone here would know.. [03:37] ok [03:37] :D [03:37] Davide, i haven't worked with mythbuntu either (or mythtv for that matter, yet), but i've found it fairly easy to swap from one 'buntu to another (Xubuntu to Ubunu to Kubuntu to a completely different windows manager package and all back again) [03:37] I hope so I don't want to install windows!! [03:38] yeah don't do that, Microsoft has enough customers :P [03:38] lol [03:38] Please deposit all your Microsoft products to your nearest local green box trash receptacle and enjoy real computing with Ubuntu/Linux. [03:38] j/k [03:39] Wine + BlackBerry anyone? 0.o [03:39] ok no one talking in xubuntu hope someone here has [03:39] It's heresy, but I found the easiest myth install was Knoppmyth. Excellent hardware detection. Up within an hour... [03:39] Xcell, that was a joke? seemed relevant and valid advice XD [03:39] StevenX: do u have compiz settings manager installed? [03:39] lol [03:39] Xcell: I still have to keep MS dual booted until game manufacturers make linux versions [03:39] yasasvy, yes. [03:39] oh yeah, theres no blackberry support for linux yet right? [03:39] Im_Toast-- in time [03:39] StevenX: and are other plugins working? [03:39] mythbuntu worked great for me. 8.04 is the version I've been running for quite some time now. [03:39] Xcell: I can't wait =P [03:39] Davide, what is the problem you are having? [03:40] yasasvy, [03:40] yes [03:40] they are all working now. thank you very much. [03:40] hey guys I have a question a friend got a corrupted bios on his windows system and I wanted to know if I can boot into a linux live cd? [03:40] ice-nine, yeah that's a valid reminder of something i learned a while back. if a ubuntu install just isn't working out, try 8.04 hardy [03:40] Admin_: If the BIOS is corrupted, your screwed [03:40] StevenX: njoy! [03:41] ty! [03:41] Admin_: BIOS is what boots your operating system [03:41] i apt get installed xubuntu over ubuntu because i like it better but my splash screen didnt get replaced with xubuntus splash its just a text base boot [03:41] Admin__, nope, sorry. he's boned [03:41] Admin_: BIOS is with your motherboard, not your software [03:41] Im_Toast: Its not completely fried cause its going into BootBlock [03:41] asus crash free bios ftw. [03:41] His is Asus ;) [03:41] He got chernobal [03:41] I want one of those new mobos that have a backup BIOS if you fuck up your main one [03:41] BIOS loads before the "real" OS. if you can't get past BIOS, you can't run the "real" OS no matter what it is [03:42] Ok, no blackberry... how about Outlook + Wine? [03:42] is there a why to fix this in package manager or do i need to do it manually [03:42] Kirill, forget outlook with wine XD [03:42] Barridus -> Jesus, that didn't sound good :| [03:42] I can boot into flash bios I jus cant figure out how to make a boot disc to flash the bios [03:43] eseven73 I didnt' say I was going to "purchase" Windows... [03:43] i have a new headset (usb) plugged in -- how do i direct all audio to my headset (not pc speakers) [03:43] When I start it searched for a CD [03:43] hehe, roger that [03:43] Admin_: Then you need to get the newest BIOS from the Motherboard manufacturer [03:43] Kirill, yeah it's not. i've spent hours with it at work [03:43] Got it [03:43] ice-nine I can't get sound to work on Linux.. [03:43] Jus dono wat to do with it [03:43] hi [03:43] Do you have a floppy drive? [03:43] Admin__-- you cant get to bios at all...to allocate another (flash) drive? [03:43] Davide, you're using mythbuntu? Which version? [03:43] anyone familiar with installing nessus on b3 on a eee pc 701? [03:44] I can get to recovery portion of my bios tat was not corrupted when I boot it looks for a CD I do not have a floppy [03:44] oh === Kirill is now known as Kirill_ [03:44] I'm not sure about flashing the bios from a cd [03:45] I've only done it one time lol from a floppy [03:45] ok screw it time for ubuntu.. eseven73 [03:45] Lol dang howd you do it cant be to diff [03:45] Barriudus -> Sigh.... I guess Ubuntu is not the answer then... Maybe Mac OS X lol [03:45] i am curious how to change the audio output in general [03:45] Admin_: Google it, I'm sure you can find a manual [03:45] Ademan-- when you boot with flash drive already installed .. it does not see it? [03:45] admin...sry [03:45] I cant boot from flash drive [03:45] Any suggestions I have 2 HDs one 80gb one I was gonna make my OS drive, the other 120gb was gonna make it my media/storage drive I have no idea what the proper way to partition etc would be [03:45] wow [03:46] Davide, good choice! [03:46] If I have a CD insterted It detects and trys to boot [03:46] is there a way to install via a network? [03:46] See [03:46] guys. [03:46] Admin__, not an ubuntu problem... i'd look for asus bios recovery help somewhere. [03:46] Davide, if you plan on dual booting, put windows on first [03:46] hey guys... http://paste.ubuntu.com/148061/ i want my synaptics to be able to function as it does in windows. [03:46] !install | ericmanders [03:46] ericmanders: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - see also !automate [03:46] Admin__-- even when you hit esc.. [03:46] U guys only smart people I know lol [03:46] should I put windows? [03:46] Davide, I'm running 8.04 and had to go into the mythtv setup and turn up the levels for audio... [03:46] audio settings? is this too simple a question for this group [03:46] ubuntu jaunty jackass is not detecting windows during installation [03:47] it says no windows instaled [03:47] well you could just put windows in a virtual machine [03:47] !virtualbox | Davide [03:47] Davide: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [03:47] Xcell: He might should also try f12, that's what it is on my mobo [03:47] I dont need windows if I can get it to work [03:47] gopogo: for jaunty help /join #ubuntu+1 [03:47] Im_Toast-- exactly [03:47] ok [03:47] Ok let me explain everything so its clear lol [03:47] does anyone have DIABLO working under WINE???? [03:47] I got windows on my regular comp.. [03:47] ah [03:47] ok [03:47] where I play all my games [03:47] :D [03:47] hey guys... http://paste.ubuntu.com/148061/ i want my synaptics to be able to function as it does in windows. [03:48] Davide, have you tried typing "alsamixer" into a terminal? [03:48] space_cadet: do u mean your touchpad? [03:48] i tryed to do it but somewhere i made a mistake [03:48] yep [03:48] hi~ [03:48] ice-nine yes typed alsamixer turned everything up, unmuted anything that was muted by pressing "M" [03:48] did not help [03:48] exception: 0xc0000005 [03:48] code address: 0xc7810789 [03:48] read access violation at 0xc7810789 [03:48] yasasvy, yes. [03:49] Davide, stupid question, but have you tried plugging your speakers/headphones into different audio out plugins on your mobo/soundcard? [03:49] Ok Bios does not boot, theres a section in his bios called bootblock that is there in case bios fries, its purpose is to allow to reflash bios if bios dead, I have newest version of bios, I have uniflash and awdflash and a cd drive, but I do not know how to flash [03:49] hey can I setup ubuntu on the 80GB drive, and leave the other 120GB drive alone... will ubuntu afterwards see that 120GB drive if I don't format it? [03:49] oh [03:49] space_cadet: what is wrong with ur current settings? [03:49] hello? [03:49] ice-nine yes as a matter of fact I did [03:50] yasasvy, well... in windows when i press the upper right corner, it switches modes. [03:50] whats the channel for jaunty? [03:50] yasasvy, in linux, it acts like i scrolled up. [03:50] !jaunty | michael [03:50] michael: 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. [03:50] michael-- #ubuntu+1 [03:50] ice-nine I thoguht it could have been the cable, so I even plugged it into my MP3 player... and the sound came through my tv fine [03:50] Xcell, thanks [03:50] k === michael is now known as unko [03:51] er... yasasvy scratch that, in linux it acts like i depressed my middle mouse button. [03:51] space_cadet: well that is the default setup, btw what laptop are you using? [03:51] hello just got a quick question for anyone [03:51] So compiz won't work with my computer now because my gfx card reached a "blacklist". However, its ok. I want to install e17. What I had in mind was using Gnome with e17 and using thunar instead of nautilus by default. Is this possible? [03:51] It does see the CD once there is a CD I attempted to make a Windows Boot disc but got error once I booted that is why I am asking if I can boot into ubuntu [03:51] yasasvy, asus m70Vm-x1 [03:51] ice-nine I guess there is a possibility that it could be the sound card itself, but I have no way of testing it... unless I install windows... all I know is that I had windows on this comp several months ago, and at that time the sound worked fine with this sound card [03:51] Davide, what ver of mythbuntu are you using [03:51] 8.10 Barridus [03:51] Admin__-- if bios isnt working..id say no. [03:52] Davide, tried hardy or jaunty? [03:52] Admin__-- try using the live cd and see if it boots [03:52] Barridus I dont know what that is.. [03:52] Barridus, is 8.10 using PulseAudio? [03:52] yasasvy, also, I want to be able to control the backlight... but I don't see that option in synclient [03:52] i just installed nvidia 180 drivers and now after the ubuntu progress bar at startup i see a blank screen- if i ctrl-alt-f1 then ctrl-alt-f7 everything operates normally. this an easy fix? [03:52] I apologize guys I'm very new to this [03:53] Davide, 8.04 hardy, 9.04 (beta) jaunty [03:53] but eager to learn! [03:53] ah [03:53] no haven't tried it... should I? [03:53] instead of ubuntu 8.10? [03:53] ice-nine, i don't know. i got angry with 8.10 and went back to 8.04 [03:53] Jaunty is coming out on the 23rd too :) [03:53] I've had some strange problems with PulseAudio, granted in Fedora and Opensuse, but have not tried 8.10. [03:54] I have ubuntu edgy eft on one of my systems. Is it to late to perform an update. I am having fetch issues [03:54] ice-nine, i was wondering about pulseaudio myself, but i wasn't sure how to bring that up. maybe we're on to something [03:54] 9.04 seems to work quite well so far. [03:54] yea [03:54] ice-nine, same. [03:54] as did hardy [03:54] should I try mythbuntu 9.04? [03:54] ive been running it for like 3 weeks ice-nine I like it [03:54] intrepid was a mess for me. [03:54] Davide, there is a 9.04 mythbunty [03:54] lol..im still on 7.10 = flawless.. j/k [03:54] Ok thanks guys and Davide dont worry you'll get hang of it I was here a week before I could do everything I wanted [03:54] Wait till you compile source [03:55] eseven73. It's been about a week and a half for me, ant not looking back. :) [03:55] :D [03:55] ok I'll try 9.04 [03:55] you think I should get mythbuntu or Ubuntu with mythtv? [03:55] ice-nine, yeah pretty much got everything except compiz working in it [03:55] yeah there's just a "hump". once you're over it and have the context to understand what to look for and more importantly what to ask, you'll be a whiz at linux overnight [03:55] <---linux noob here also Davide === TrueYomic is now known as Yomic [03:55] Davide, Or like Barridus recommends, 8.04... [03:55] Ubuntu with mythtv [03:56] Davide, yeah i say try hardy 8.04 first. it was literally the linux that made me love linux [03:56] i just installed nvidia 180 drivers and now after the ubuntu progress bar at startup i see a blank screen- if i ctrl-alt-f1 then ctrl-alt-f7 everything operates normally. anyone have any advice? [03:56] if I get 8.04... will I be able to upgarde to 9.04? or do I have to reinstall? [03:56] it's LTS (long term support) so most things are stable and well documented [03:56] hi there is there any way i can do google video chat in ubuntu [03:56] I have learned more in linux than i ever did in windoze. === [bosco} is now known as {bosco} [03:57] fell for Ubuntu with 7.04, and it's all I run now. :) [03:57] eseven73, what type of gfx card? Nvidia is working well for me with compiz [03:57] <{bosco}> ls [03:57] space_cadet: have you edited your xorg.cong file? [03:57] nope [03:57] Nvidia 5200, it worked great in 8.10, and 8.04 [03:57] Hi all, what Ubuntu based Twitter client is best? [03:57] hey guys, i'm really having trouble finding a solution on the ubuntu web forums, my problem is my dv 9000 wont use both cores, how can i fix this? [03:57] Davide, i belive distro upgrades are done one version at a time unless i'm incorrect. you'll have to step to 8.10 then 9.04 i think. but if hardy works for you, why not keep it? if it ain't broke don't fix it, that's the linux way [03:58] hey can anybody tell me how to do video chat in linux [03:58] ice-nine, it says im using the nvidia 173 driver, but, when I try to enable effects, it says some errors [03:58] !jaunty [03:58] 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. [03:58] but thats fine, Im not really into effects anyways ice-nine :) [03:58] Davide, I'd agree with Barridus. I've been running 8.04 since april of last year with nary a problem. [03:58] ok downloading 8.04.2 [03:58] we so slow can I get a torrent? [03:58] eseven73, are you able to run nvidia-settings? [03:59] ice-nine, i would be too if it wasn't for netbook remix being built in and better implimented in jaunty (i'm on a netbook) [03:59] ill check ice-nine one sec [03:59] running 8.10 here problem free [03:59] ice-nine, yep, nvidia-settings work [03:59] 8.10 ran like ass on this netbook [03:59] i literally just reinstalled ubuntu, the first thing i did is went to synaptic - searched (not quick searched because nvidia-180 DOES NOT SHOW UP THAT WAY) found nvidia-180, installed it, and it doesn't show up in hardware drivers -WHAT IS GOING ON [03:59] hey guys, i'm really having trouble finding a solution on the ubuntu web forums, my problem is my dv 9000 wont use both cores, how can i fix this? [03:59] eseven73, try clicking on the OpenGL/GLX Information entry. [04:00] and i could not resolve why that was [04:00] eseven73, that used to crash for me all the time if the nvidia driver wasn't loaded properly. [04:00] I'm curious, with the "Create a USB Startup Disk" is there a way to set up multiple boot options (like say an i386 and an x64 on the same disk)? [04:00] Which Twitter client should I use? [04:00] same here Barridus [04:00] ice-nine, it shows the settings [04:00] Direct rendering: Yes [04:01] Q_Continuum: Not that I know of. [04:01] i'm beginning to suspect ubuntu releases are like star trek movies. only try every other one XD [04:01] lol [04:01] Hello all [04:01] is there an easy way to change ubuntu home edition to the server edition? [04:01] eseven73, are you able to run glxgears? [04:01] lol [04:01] i dont mean to type in caps, i'm really frustrated, ive been working on this for a week straight and i keep running into weird problems... [04:01] Barridus: lol, I don't upgrade this laptop right away - I give it a shot on a spare box. [04:01] ice-nine, yep :D [04:01] hello [04:01] eseven73, past my expertise then. Sorry.. [04:01] Q_Continuum, i do that now, also. i've learned a few lessons XD [04:02] Q_Continuum: Although, you could do something like that by partitioning the disk and configuring the bootloader manually. [04:02] is there any bug on the ubuntu 9.04 beta? [04:02] Yeah, 8.04 gave me some headaches....that 8.10 cured. [04:02] !jaunty | etzerd [04:02] etzerd: 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. [04:02] ice-nine, it's cool, like I said im not really big into effects anyways :) [04:02] anybody here can help me with an error i get trying to make my new kernel? [04:02] :D [04:02] 8,04 had a few settings i had to edit, but it was all well documented copypasta i could paste into terminal. [04:02] Thanks [04:02] space_cadet: follow this link.. this should solve your probs https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad/Hardy?highlight=((SynapticsTouchpad)) [04:03] whereas 8.10 had no options for fixes really, and it ran pretty sluggishly (even without compiz) [04:03] i get this *** multiple target patterns. Stop. [04:03] the reason that I asked is because I installed it in my computer and it sees to work fine. [04:03] Which Twitter client should I use? [04:03] 8.04 would after some random uptime, not let me launch new apps, and sound would break until I rebooted. [04:03] yasasvy, been there looked at it... not as configurable as i wish, but i'm deciding right now some other things [04:03] I'm installing 8.10 while I wait.. [04:03] thanks though yasasvy [04:03] wait for download [04:03] just to see... [04:04] Hello [04:04] space_cadet: sorry couldnt help you. [04:04] hey guys, i'm really having trouble finding a solution on the ubuntu web forums, my problem is my dv 9000 wont use both cores, how can i fix this? [04:05] Davide, one reason why versions are different in how they work out of box is that they all use different kernel versions. and drivers tie into the kernel, so sometimes hardware will be wonky in one kernel than another and require more or less workarounds [04:05] <{bosco}> hi i am going to reinstall windows on my computer for testing but i want to dual boot the last time i installed windows with linux the MBR overided grub how do i set it to dual boot??????? [04:05] <{bosco}> i use ubuntu [04:05] what is a good program to test my video camera with? [04:05] <{bosco}> cheese [04:05] cheese [04:05] someone knows what this means: *** multiple target patterns. Stop. [04:05] ? [04:05] Is there a way to backup everything from desktop edition and put it on an ubuntu server? I mean like programs and files and such [04:05] {bosco}, you need to install windows on another partition, then reinstall grub to the MBR using an ubuntu livecd [04:06] oh you got there first [04:06] Davide, since you're using a "legacy" soundcard, you may find it better supported in an older kernel (sometimes old stuff is broken in newer kernels but it's a low priority fix since the old kernels can be used) [04:06] I mean a seperate server [04:06] hey guys, i'm really having trouble finding a solution on the ubuntu web forums, my problem is my dv 9000 wont use both cores, how can i fix this? [04:06] Computer Janitor is only on jaunty? :< [04:06] <{bosco}> edgex-_, someone told me to just install windows first [04:06] I wants it for intrpeid [04:06] {bosco}, it's easier but installing grub again isnt hard [04:06] can anyone tell how to add more desktop to ubuntu? [04:06] {bosco}, it's like one command from a livecd [04:06] Barridus thanks that makes sense... the audigy is very old... [04:07] <{bosco}> edgex-_, is there a post to were i can look at on how to do that [04:07] I mean more desktop wallpaper. [04:08] etzerd, just copy some images to your harddrive, and browse to that directory when setting background images. [04:08] any thoughts on the best program fro home recording studio? [04:08] all I know about linux is what I've learned using my Nokia N800... so not much [04:08] bob_, have you heard of ardour? [04:08] no [04:09] bob_, ardour.org [04:09] does anyone here have a nice DVR/PVR system setup with mythtv?? [04:09] thanks I'll check that out [04:09] or mythbuntu? [04:09] I've used ardour for some amateurish recording of my guitar. Worked quite well. [04:09] what is the correct syntax for "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH= folder1 folder2 " [04:09] amateur I am [04:09] thanks much [04:10] how do i switch desktop windows? i dont have anything on my panel to switch [04:10] Davide, mythbuntu 8.04 has been running in my living room for the past year and a half with no problems at all. [04:10] hi all dumb question but i want to make a a shortcut for the command: ssh -C host.xyz -p 999 -l jimbo on my desktop. i have managed to do it. i get the the login page and enter the pass but it doesn't open a shell. anyone know how to do that? [04:10] is there a key combination to switch from desktop1 to desktop2 and vice versa === {bosco} is now known as POnr [04:10] Wicked-- right click pannel and click add to.. then search for desk top switcher === POnr is now known as sex [04:10] theres nowere to click on my panel. its all open windows [04:10] or applets [04:11] ice-nine was it a pain to configure mythbuntu 8.04? === sex is now known as blowjob [04:11] how stable is jaunty atm? [04:11] Davide, i'm fairly certain the issue is soley with your audigy being supported correctly by the kernel [04:11] ok [04:11] independent of what 'buntu you are on [04:12] so to fix that I just need to go to an older version? meaning there's little chance the 8.10 will work? [04:12] hey guys, i'm really having trouble finding a solution on the ubuntu web forums, my problem is my dv 9000 wont use both cores, how can i fix this? [04:12] hmm i dont even see a desktop switcher Xcell [04:12] i'd try hardy, and possibly jaunty if you're in a particularly adventurous mood (it's beta, so YMMV) [04:12] {bosco}: GRUB help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#head-68342fc2e30d51fa0aa6f5bf16c911dd8d3663c6 [04:12] Davide, the linux part was pretty straight forward, and the only thing I got caught up in the mythtv configuration was the type of tuner card I had installed, but once that was taken care of It was quite easy. I did have to modify my remote control configuration file to get extended functionality. [04:13] Davide, well some 8.10 stuff is "backported". i don't know what exactly as i don't use myth [04:13] so it's like having a more compatable 8.10 in some cases [04:13] Thanks guys, just incase you were wondering why firefox was crashing on my attempts to load java, I found the solution / what i did wrong.. create a symbolic link to the plugin in the java directory do not copy it over... thats what was causing it to foul up. [04:13] ok [04:13] linux is all modular, that's the true beauty of it [04:14] ice-nine by installing mythbuntu can you still add all the packages to get it to be like regular ubuntu? [04:14] Davide, have you tried oss instead of Alsa? [04:14] ice-nine I haven't I was looking at the instructions someone posted to get that on, but it was very intimidating... [04:14] hey all [04:14] sex: GRUB help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#head-68342fc2e30d51fa0aa6f5bf16c911dd8d3663c6 [04:15] I Don't know if I could do it [04:15] hello~ [04:15] does a mythbuntu-desktop metapackage exist? *checks* [04:15] ice-nine: what size box did you use.. I"m thinking of building myth on a mini-itx platform [04:15] anyone know of a website on how to dual boot windows and ubuntu with 9.10 installing grub??? [04:15] * GunslingerFyre finds a seat [04:16] * Scunizi heard the music for ring-a-round the rosy stop.. GunslingerFyre won [04:16] I won? [04:16] what did I win? [04:16] free ubuntu for life? [04:16] Davide, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=787082 --- this link talks about unchecking an "analog/digital Output Jack" checkbox in alsamixer [04:16] Wicked-- its called work space switcher [04:16] GunslingerFyre: the chair [04:16] Hey guys [04:16] cool. I'll be taking it with me when I go. [04:16] :) [04:17] I just installed Ubuntu tonight, and it's on my toshiba but when I start it up for the first time it flipps out and i can't see anything it's like all stripping [04:17] stripping? [04:17] Davide, there is a package in ubuntu repos mythbyntu-desktop. this is sort of the blind leading the blind here (i don't have mythbuntu and you don't have ubuntu) but it installs 227 packages. [04:17] like text scrolling by fast? or weird colors and stuff? [04:17] haha sry I'm txting a Girl and it's kinda on my mind LOL [04:17] weird colors like I can't see anythinhg [04:17] :/ [04:17] I just knda see a big outline of what a box would be [04:17] what windows manager and toolkit does mythbuntu use? gnome/gtk? [04:18] Scunizi, I used an antec nsk2400 case.. The wife wanted it to more or less blend in with the rest of the living room or there would be no way she'd allow a computer in the living room LoL [04:18] what version did you install styles? [04:18] 8.04? [04:18] help -- focus is stuck inside a VMWare VM and I can't get out -- keyboard seems to be locked out, mouse is working, any ideas? [04:18] can some body tell me how to install the software from the channel [04:18] ice-nine: yea. same here.. but the smaller I can make it the better.. I'd go with a fanless setup if possible but that I know won't happen [04:18] pm, styles? [04:19] kk GunslingerFyre === twocarl1 is now known as twocarlo [04:19] Barridus so I guess from ubuntu I could install that package and get mythbuntu? [04:19] :D [04:19] what is software channel mean?? [04:20] Anyone know if my computer could be causing an ozone/static smell that's filling my room? [04:20] Scunizi, hehe. I found an old sempron mobile processor and found that I don't need a fan on the heatsink (cheap aftermarket one) and a couple of Noctua fans running at low speed, All I hear is the harddrive now... [04:20] Davide, my guess would be that. but i can't test. i've installed kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop. it's easy to do to swap into a different variant [04:20] Davide: apt-get install mythbuntu [04:20] URoRRoRRR-- lol..it is a high voltage smell? [04:20] i'm trying to detemine what windows manager and toolkit mythbuntu uses, that would be important to know before you try [04:20] ice-nine: ive got an intel E8400 looking for a home.. :) [04:21] Xcell: yeah, kinda like lightning [04:21] lol check your cpu usage = top [04:21] Barridus I don't know that information.. but DG19075 says apt-get [04:21] install htop.. much better too [04:22] Barridus, 8.04 mythbuntu uses XFCE4 as a window manager. I'm not sure if it's GTK or not. [04:22] Installation is complete restarting [04:22] ice-nine, it appears it is (according to wikipedia) [04:22] is there a way to reset all the ubuntu settings to the original defaults? [04:22] eep opp ork uh huh [04:22] how do you use a icon theme [04:23] Cross your fingers Davide. hope to hear those drums... [04:23] ice-nine, and it matches my vague recollection of xubuntu hardy [04:23] ericmanders: Deleting the config files in your /home directory, I think. [04:23] I"m crossing! [04:23] i will give it a try [04:24] ice-nine, i seem to remember it was gtk too. (i can't stand more than one toolkit loaded so i would have noticed i think) [04:24] how do you use a icon theme [04:24] ericmanders: what settings? systemn wide settings like network interface information or user level settings like file save locations? [04:24] :( guess not [04:24] that woudl have been way too easy! [04:24] Davide, i missed what you're installing cuz i was alt tabbing around my old bookmarks. installed what? hardy? [04:25] or the mythbuntu-desktop [04:25] I just installed 8.10 cause 8.04 is still dling [04:25] randal: Go to system>preferences>appearance to install icon themes. [04:25] just ubuntu [04:25] regular 8.10 [04:25] hello~ [04:25] well somehow all of my file permissions gat messed up and I wanted to be able to reset them all [04:25] 9.04 ftw! [04:25] ok that's not surprising (if my kernel/audigy autoconfigure bug notion is correct) [04:25] work good GunslingerFyre ? [04:25] * GunslingerFyre nods [04:25] I like it a LOT [04:25] cool [04:26] just snappier overall [04:26] which it may not be, obviously. but i have some confidence in the theory [04:26] Davide, Hope you have more luck with 8.04 [04:26] ericmanders: Oh, that's different. You'd either have to manually change them all back or do a re install. [04:26] I might pull out another drive and give it a test run this weekend [04:26] Barridus so now I'm in the sound preferences.. if I select ALSA and click on test I should hear sound right? [04:26] if it works? [04:26] ok thats what I thought thanks for the help. [04:26] you should. for beta, it's very nice [04:26] yeah it's like a little whoooooooooooooo sound [04:27] If i install windows 7 on another physical HDD, will that mess up my current grub? If so, can i use super grub to easily fix it? [04:27] bit of a flash player bug with x64 version, but got that sorted [04:27] what does pulseaudio do [04:27] phobiac: ericmanders that's not true.. sudo chown 744 /home/ [04:27] I may.. i gave up on 8.04 cuz of sound issues [04:27] Bluenzo: should be able to (I think) [04:27] phobiac: ericmanders or.. sudo chown -R 744 /home/ [04:27] Scunizi: Like I said, either manually put them all back or do a reinstall. [04:27] bluenzo, yea it's pretty easy to fix grub :) [04:27] !grub [04:27] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:27] first link there [04:27] when i go to reinstall grub, i get "cannot mount selected partition" [04:27] what gives? [04:27] Dreamglider, so i should be able to run 3 OS's with grub? [04:28] phobiac: you made it sound like you had to do something on each file individually.. [04:28] How big should your swap partition be? [04:28] Scunizi: You're also assuming it was just his /home that got messed up. [04:28] bluejeans, as many as you can for on the drive [04:28] Mike_lifeguard-- 2.5 times your ram [04:28] Scunizi: Because he never said what file permissions were messed up? [04:28] Dreamglider, lol i had a few physical HDDs [04:28] phobiac: I missed that part.. easier to just change everything. :) [04:28] i never use swap XD [04:29] Xcell: is it bad to have more than that? [04:29] me either.. i installed enough ram to feed a heard of leephants [04:29] that's just make-believe RAM for the system right? [04:29] Mike_lifeguard-- do not [04:29] so more is fine [04:29] Scunizi: Sorry for snapping at you, I'm in a bad mood. You were a bit more helpful than I was. [04:29] Mike_lifeguard, it's just a waste [04:29] I am using intrepid ibex. The system freeze after playing sound ie mp3. Do you think that trying Jaunty Jackalope will fix the problem? Interestingly the same problem exists in the latest stable release of Debian but NOT in Gutsy Gibbon... same computer for all these OSs. [04:29] ok, so it won't get used... [04:30] I'll bet I can make it smaller then... [04:30] how can I installed FlashPlayer in ubuntu? [04:30] Barridus ok now woooh sound :( [04:30] Mike_lifeguard, all it's really for is hibernate assuming you have more than a gig of ram [04:30] phobiac: like water off a duck.. :) everybody has a "day" once in a while.. [04:30] put more physical ram in it [04:30] can anyone help [04:30] eseven73 did you have ideas from ubuntu 8.10 on how to make sound work? [04:30] etzerd, you can dl the player from adobe [04:30] try to play flash video in firefox, then click the "install missing plugins" bar at the top....alternatively, search synaptic [04:30] they have so many version of it there [04:30] etzerd: Do you mean the flash plugin for your browser? [04:30] 89% downloaded! [04:30] Davide, is there a "pulseaudio" process running in sessions? [04:30] sessions... where is that? [04:31] prefs i think [04:31] they have Yum, Rpm, taz I just don't know which one to choose from [04:31] there's a tab for processes [04:31] no wait use the system monitor. sorry. [04:31] under administratio [04:31] phobiac: Yes the Flash Plugin [04:31] n [04:31] yes there's a pulse audio running [04:31] etzerd: Try doing sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [04:32] etzerd, or you can do an "all on one" solution with ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:32] Hi guys, I am looking for a package corner mp. Is a music player that is embed on the corner of the desktop, does someone had hear about it? [04:32] Aaack DAMN PULSEAUDIO!!!! [04:32] do I stop it? [04:32] yeah it could be that. [04:32] oh [04:32] can someone help me get a linux system unfrozen? [04:32] etzerd: Dreamglider's advice was good. [04:32] it's kind of messy to get rid of pulseaudio [04:32] Barridus-- i put sys mon on my task pannel..i monitor mem/cpu/etho.. cool graphs.. try it [04:32] DrX - GUI frozen? [04:32] when i go to reinstall grub, i get "cannot mount selected partition" can someone help me fix this please? [04:32] you'd have to blacklist it, etc, in the configuration files [04:33] Is it possible to monitor system temps in 8.10? [04:33] Davide, are you able to switch to OSS in 8.10. System -> Preferences -> Sound [04:33] cchaos-- lmsensors? [04:33] etzerd, Look at -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [04:33] Barridus well I removed it and it still doesnt work... [04:33] mint_: Are at grub now? [04:33] Xcell: I mainly want to monitor my CPU temp [04:33] etzerd, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restircted-extras [04:33] phobiac: yes [04:33] uninstalled it completely? [04:33] mint_: Press c for the command prompt [04:34] k [04:34] hrmm not sure if neone here can help with this but my xbox controller (original) is supposed to be already working out of the box with ubuntu... and it recognizes it but i don't see nething in /dev/input/ to point to [04:34] cchaos-- it takes a bit to make work.. plus depends on bios.. but i think lm sensors is what you want [04:34] Barridus I just hit the button remove from that list [04:34] in sessions [04:35] ice-nine...is oss better than alsa? [04:35] mint_: find /boot/grub/stage1 [04:35] cchaos-- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2780 [04:35] phobiac: ive done this.. im getting failure at "setup (hd0)" [04:35] mint_: It should tell you (hdx,y) where x and y are numbers [04:35] Xcell: well the BIOS shows temps on startup, so I imagine it can? [04:35] Xcell: thanks for the link [04:35] ^ [04:35] k [04:36] Davide, do you have system monitor open? [04:36] GunslingerFyre, not in my opinion. I've found ALSA works fine for me, but Davide has an audigy soundcard and is having problems getting it to work using ALSA and/or PULSEAUDIO... [04:36] mint_: You're typing it wrong, you need to type (hd0,#) where # is the partition number of your root partition. [04:36] hi, anybody here? I've got a problem about ATI driver [04:36] OSS is quite old now. I think BSD still uses it hardcore though. [04:36] mint_: Not just (hd0) [04:36] GunslingerFyre: the focus is stuck in a VMWAre vm and the keyboard appears to be locked out [04:36] ah [04:36] how to reload sound server on hardy ? [04:37] doing anything you can't lose, DrX? [04:37] got it. thank you phobiac [04:37] mint_: You're welcome. [04:37] appreciated [04:37] Hi, where do I report bugs in 9.04? (It fails to reognize the hard drie on an HP DV2; 8.10 is working fine on the same hardware). [04:37] ive never had to do that before [04:37] but it makes sense [04:37] mint_: No problem...I hate GRUB. I break it all the time. [04:37] Xcell: I see what you mean by takes some work [04:37] !jaunty|tmb [04:37] tmb: 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] later [04:37] thanks again [04:37] thanks [04:38] I break my grub lots too :) [04:38] cchaos-- ya.. but with alittle patients youll get it [04:38] GunslingerFyre: don't care about the Vms but just don't want to get locked out nor restart the VMWare Linux host [04:38] The new driver 2:8.600-0ubuntu2 will make the composite very slow [04:38] so it's a linux vm session on a linux vm server? [04:39] Xcell: hopefully lol [04:39] GunslingerFyre: y [04:39] lol.. [04:39] hmm [04:39] GunslingerFyre: actually, it's 3 OS VMs (1 linux) and 1 linux host [04:39] cchaos-- i just installed sys mon on pannel and htop with both i could tell what my cpu is doing [04:40] way easier [04:40] focus stuck and keyboard locked out... [04:40] Xcell: I have sys mon on my panel too, I was just curious about the temps [04:40] so if you were to, say, kill x (ctrl-alt-backspace) wonder if it would kill the host's x or the vm's x [04:40] ah [04:40] there is a small diamond that the pointer turns into when the mouse moves the arrow pointer outside the guest VM [04:41] Barridus sorry had to step away... no I dont have system monitor open... is that the "sessions?" [04:41] the thing is that ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't work on this guest VM [04:41] ah [04:41] Barridus could it help if I installed all of the updates available? [04:41] My splash screen no longer shows up when i boot. anybody know how i could fix this? [04:41] when I read through manpages, I frequently get headings like " mount(8)" <-- what does the number behind such a command mean? [04:41] you'll want both open [04:41] DrX: you need to ask the vm to pass on the ctrl+alt+bkspace signal. [04:42] Davide^ [04:42] Iceman_B|SSH: it refers to the manual section that you can find its man page on [04:42] *in [04:42] kravlin-- I installed bootup manager from add remove..be careful not to abuse it.. in it it gives you that option [04:42] you don't have a VM manager tool on another box, do you? [04:42] @ your own risk [04:42] lstarnes: okay, and how do I invoke that ? [04:42] what's an alternative to konversation [04:42] Iceman_B|SSH: man mount or man 8 mount [04:42] mopoyo: for irc? [04:42] GunslingerFyre: nope [04:43] Scunizi: yes [04:43] how can i run epiphany/firefox and then run xtensoftphone/ekiga with sound working on both ? [04:43] sorry man, out of ideas then [04:43] mopoyo: xchat for gui irssi for terminal [04:43] on hardy [04:43] mopoyo: xchat (not xchat-gnome) .. for terminal access irssi [04:43] don't know how to fix it without rebooting if you can't do anything in the host [04:43] Barridus, ok both open... stop the pulseaudio process? [04:43] mopoyo: quassel if you are using kde [04:43] lstarnes: thanks :) [04:43] Davide, that "sessions" thing is sort of analogous to windows' start->startup menu. stuff that autoruns. the system monitor/processes is somewhat analogous to the task manager. you can see what is currently running [04:44] how do I find out the UUID of a device ? [04:44] Iceman_B|SSH: blkid [04:44] gotcha.. so stop the process [04:44] Davide, yes. then open terminal and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base" [04:44] Iceman_B|SSH: is it a disk drive like hard disk or cdrom? [04:44] then reboot and see if sound works with alsa. (you may need to fiddle with the mixer again) [04:44] Xcell: there was a script i ran before installing that. After that it no longer worked. Now i want to get the bootupmanager working and it won't. [04:45] roccity_: hdd [04:45] boot up manager is not in the admin column? [04:45] Iceman_B|SSH: try in a terminal vim /etc/fstab [04:45] Iceman_B|SSH: or just run blkid [04:45] Iceman_B|SSH: sudo blkid [04:46] roccity_: vim? not good for a "new" person [04:46] Scunizi: the sudo is not required [04:46] blkid works fine [04:46] ziroday: it's been a while [04:46] Xcell: it is, however, no matter what i turn that to the theme doesn't work [04:46] Barridus ok done [04:46] Xcell: i found the script. uploading to pastebin right now. [04:47] Barridus now what? [04:47] kravlin-- i would uninstall boot up manager.. re-boot--re-install--reboot.. thats all i can say.. [04:47] How do I know what driver my video car is using? [04:47] Davide, have you done sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base yet? [04:47] having problems getting AC97 audio drivers to work in ubuntu 8.10 [04:48] Davide, reboot, see if test sound works with ALSA. if not, see if pulseaudio is running again (damn thing), and if it's not (good) check the alsa mixer again [04:48] yes I have [04:48] ice-nine [04:48] Ary: system, admin, hardware drivers [04:48] ary: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log/ [04:48] ok rebooting [04:48] ary: try to run 'glxgears' in your terminal [04:48] :s [04:48] ice-nine, yeah i suggested he do that [04:48] Scunizi: oops your right [04:48] bitfish: what would that do besides giving him his FPS for it? === bluesky is now known as littlegirl [04:49] Barridus, yep, I was just reiterating.. === littlegirl is now known as littlebeauty [04:49] Davide: on my desktop after one of the latest updates.. I had to double click the speaker /preferences and add "front" and "side" option sliders.. on every reboot those sliders are all the way down and I have to slide them back to the top to get audio.. [04:49] where can I download AC97 audio drivers for ubuntu 8.10? [04:49] hi [04:49] bitfish: it shows me tree gears :) [04:49] ziroday: uh, if glx (3d) works, his Video-card definitely works. i don't think i understand your question ;) [04:49] Davide, yeah his prob is legacy device in a newer kernel that no longer supports it correctly out of box, or that pulseaudio is doing the "i feel like sucking" thing it can do sometimes depending on hardware [04:49] bitfish: he wanted to know what drivers he was using, not whether glxgears work :) [04:50] oops meant ice-nine [04:50] ary: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log please. [04:50] laters all [04:50] later [04:50] pulseaudio and i have a love/hate relationship XD [04:50] Barridus No dice === john is now known as Guest71675 [04:50] so i'm using gnome and a few kde apps (quassel, amarok). i want kcontrol but i can't find it or the equivalent to configure the appearance of qt stuff. what do i need to install? [04:50] What is pulseaudio? [04:51] Barridus-- thats why im still on 7.10 [04:51] lol [04:51] Davide, is pulseaudio process running in system manager / processes? [04:51] not in sessions.. [04:51] Barridus yes it is [04:52] but not in sessions [04:52] hard to kill... [04:52] bah you'll have to blacklist it then. and it might not even be the fix you need. i'm not sure if i know how to blacklist in intrepid so i prolly won't be of much use [04:52] ok NP 8.04 is done burning to CD [04:53] gonna just go for that Barridus [04:55] ok. i lost who i was talking to when i got disconnected. [04:55] Howdy all. So I recently installed ubuntu 9.04 during my switch from Windows (whew-hoo). All of sudden today, OpenOffice Writer started opening at startup. How can I turn that off? I've looked in Preferences>Startup Applications and don't find it there to turn off. [04:55] who was i talking to? [04:55] Guys, 2 things, 1. I occasionally have a small section of my screen like, not update and keep showing something from an earlier screen (Like I switch screens but that section stays the same) Any ideas why? [04:55] why does it say xchat is only for windows and fedora linux 7 [04:56] Guest71675: err why are you running 9.04, its in beta? Anyway support for jaunty is in #ubuntu+1 [04:56] mopoyo: ask the xchat devs. [04:56] kravlin1: [00:42:27] kravlin-- I installed bootup manager from add remove..be careful not to abuse it.. in it it gives you that option [04:56] kravlin1: probably Xcell [04:56] ok. I'll move over. thanks. [04:56] ok. i lost who i was talking to when i got disconnected. [04:56] Im_Toast: your video driver isn't performing up to standards.. [04:56] who was it? [04:56] Xcell: http://paste.ubuntu.com/148090/ [04:57] Why oh why are the busted version (The ones with showstopped bugs) of the nvidia driver 180.xx still available through the "Hardware Drivers" interface? [04:57] LiMa0: thank you so much! [04:57] SJ2000: is there a LP bug filed? [04:57] Hey folks, I had saved my .evolution folder from a previous install, and now after doing a fresh install of ubuntu and running evolution it is asking me to create the profile and everything. Why is it not seeing my old accounts and settings and just running from there? [04:57] Davide, if you'e still there in intrepid try "gksudo gedit /etc/pulse/client.conf" and see if you get the pulseaudio configuration. if so, change "autospawn = yes" to "autospawn = no" [04:57] kravlin1: you're welcome [04:57] remu: same version of evolution? [04:58] ziroday, yes it is [04:58] ziroday: Well it's been marked as fixed but they are still offering the bad versions [04:58] SJ2000: link? [04:58] How do I add Virtual desktops, i deleted my second panel to see what it would look like. [04:58] Problem is there are lots of dupes with varying problems, not sure which one applies to me [04:58] I re-added my second panel though [04:59] oh [04:59] remu: hmm, try add the stuff in the .evolution file in .evolution [04:59] Barridus too late already installing 8.04 [04:59] it's formatting [04:59] ok [04:59] :D [04:59] ziroday, pardon? I don't understand. [04:59] Hey guys i have a problem with my panel it doesn't show icons in the menu [05:00] I really like the picture from 8.04 better than 8.10 [05:00] remu: copy the contents of your backed up .evolution file to ~/.evolution [05:00] How do I research a new 64-bit desktop for Ubuntu? Are there any vendors that support it? [05:00] is there something in bash like && except in runs the next command if the previous one returned a failure? e.g., false ?? echo "previous command failed" [05:00] Davide, might want to jot that down or something. it's the 2nd step to ditching pulseaudio if you ever want to give it a shot again. (first being sessions and unchecking pulseaudio, then doing that edit, then rebooting) [05:00] ziroday, it is all already there, I never removed it from there (my home folder is on a separate partition) [05:00] can someone help me get i8kmon to detect my config [05:00] remu: ah, well in that case I have no idea [05:01] hey everyone is it possible for me to add a color theme for my gnome-terminal ? [05:01] pulseaudio rocks when it works, but it has some "issues" depending on hardware. (quite possibly on your legacy card), it's kind of annoying to convince to go away, as you're noticing XD [05:01] Barridus what is pulseaudio exactly? [05:02] Davide: a sound server.. [05:02] how do i install gnome [05:02] sudo apt-get install desktop-gnome? [05:02] Davide, it's an "overlay" of sorts for ALSA. adds multiple simultaneous sound channels [05:02] Brandon: sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop [05:02] ah ty [05:02] and so in 8.04 it is not present? [05:03] it might still be, i don't know [05:03] E: Couldn't find package gnome-desktop [05:03] Davide: it is.. but not as well tweeked as 8.10 [05:03] ziroday: http://pastebin.com/m547c372c [05:03] Scunizi I see [05:03] ary_: you are using the radeon driver [05:03] Davide, either way you'll find out if the kernel is at fault. if it's still no sound after tweaking mixer, you know now how to ditch pulse. [05:04] Davide: should also be better in 9.04 [05:04] ziroday: propietary? [05:04] Not sure if this is really the place to ask but has anyone had problems connecting to MSN via pidgin? It was working just an hour ago. I'm guessing MSN's having some problems. [05:04] ary_: no, open source [05:04] I guess if this doesn't work... I just need some newer hardware idk.. [05:04] LOL [05:04] BiosElement: that happens.. try aMSN [05:04] BiosElement: install msn-pecan and change your provider to WLM. It is much more stable [05:04] Davide, copout idea here, but you don't happen to have a spare newer card? [05:04] ziroday: it come with the default installation [05:04] ary_: yes [05:05] Scunizi: E: Couldn't find package gnome-desktop why will it not work [05:05] ziroday, Yeah. I was using WLM for a few weeks last month but when I re-installed I left it default. I guess I'll switch it bacl to pecan then. [05:05] hehe I don't... unfortunately [05:05] Davide, at least the "plus" side is i'm sure an inexpensive card would work better [05:05] I think this one has the most similar to my problem except it's only occuring with the 180 drivers from the "Hardware Drivers" interface (Which install 180.11 for some reason) and I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/+bug/321741 [05:05] BiosElement: basically the current msn thingymabob is legacy, which MS is slowly phasing support out for. WLM is the newer, fancier protocl [05:06] ziroday: Really? I figured it was a deal of pecan being an older more stable protocol. That's useful to know. Thanks. :) [05:06] well if this doesnt work it might push me to finally purchase a new system... then I can use my current rig which is 3 years old or so, and maybe that will work [05:06] SJ2000: read the bug. It tells you to test jaunty which has the gix. [05:07] yeah Davide don't give up on linux. pulseaudio can be fickle, especially with hardware that's in less demand now [05:07] SJ2000: fix, sorry [05:07] ziroday: I'm not using Jaunty [05:07] SJ2000: well the fix is in jaunty. Or you can find a PPA with newer drivers in [05:07] I'm trying to put the ubuntu on an old P4 2.4ghz 512MB ram Gateway comp that my mom's friend gave me.... [05:07] I like the case though [05:08] pulse works great in jaunty for me.... except in pidgin for some reason. [05:08] i think it's pidgin's fault though. [05:08] ziroday: so basically the 180 nvidia driver which is marked as "[Recommended]" in the Hardware Drivers panel is actually old outdated and is known to be faulty? [05:08] I'm still not grasping what pulse can actually do [05:08] Davide: should work.. that's what I was running up until this last Dec.. but I had 2 gigs of ram.. [05:08] you said add different sound channels? [05:08] SJ2000: I am not sure of the circumstance, sorry. [05:08] SJ2000: however there is a fix. [05:08] what other version's are there gnome kde fluxbox blackbox [05:08] I hope scunizi! [05:08] :D [05:08] Davide, yeah let's say you have two programs making sounds at once [05:08] Barridus-- every time i tried to run 2 sound devices pulse always broke on me. [05:08] 94% done [05:09] HEY FOLKS === Album is now known as Album|Awy [05:09] WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE REDS!!! [05:09] Wilton10: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:09] Davide, you need pulse for that. alsa can only handle one. [05:09] hi, fixing grub after a windows installation only only only affects the mbr right? [05:09] I see [05:09] ziroday: a fix for something I don't use :/ I'm trying to work out why they are recommending outdated and broken drivers on a release [05:09] you can get more help in #2,000 [05:09] Davide, once it works it'll all make sense. hard to wrap your head around it without the common ground of context [05:09] SJ2000: as I said I am not familiar with your situation. You are free to downgrade your drivers if you so wish [05:10] yeah I hear that... [05:10] i did too, months ago XD [05:10] hola [05:10] But I really enjoy this. The troubleshooting you're helping me with is teaching me a lot of stuff I didn't know [05:10] hello i have a HP card to watch tv, can someone help me to install it please [05:10] so that's great! [05:10] Davide, i'm glad i've been of use heheh [05:10] is anybodey besides me using portable ubuntu?? [05:11] yeah you and everyne else... but stick around for the grand finale [05:11] ziroday: yeah, that's what I did. I'm just surprised that they are still offering the old and broken drivers with showstopped bugs and saying it's recommended. The only reason I installed it was because it popped up and bugged me about it. Is it worth filing a launchpad bug? [05:11] the initial learning curve seems daunting. then you hit the "hump" and it's like dawn. [05:11] let's see if it is anticlimactic [05:11] LOL [05:11] i doubt i can unfortunately Davide, it's past midnight :/ [05:11] SJ2000: a bug has already been filed. I don't think you can do anymore about it besides test with a livecd if the issue still exists [05:11] i hate not seeing things through the end though. [05:11] kravlin-- any luck? [05:11] you're on the east coast? [05:12] yes. [05:12] well that's ok will you be on tomorrow? I'll let you know what happens [05:12] well not really, indiana. it's "eastern" now. [05:12] :D [05:12] SJ2000: you can always install the driver from nvidia.. 180.44 is working for me [05:12] Scunizi: that's what I used to do, this is the second time I installed it from Hardware Drivers instead of direct.... I've certainly learnt my leason :/ [05:12] Davide, probably heh. well depends how a certain girl-related event goes. [05:13] anyone know why my xorg.conf is so short? l$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf| wc -l [05:13] 33 [05:13] haha good luck! [05:13] Scunizi: please don't recommend manual installs. They more often then not break for users due to conflicting drivers [05:13] SJ2000: don't discont Hardware Drivers.. lots of times they work.. lately not though [05:13] thanks XD [05:13] well install is basically done if you wanna wait [05:13] probably less than 5 minutes :D [05:13] ziroday: except when what's available in the system doesn't work.. [05:13] ziroday: I've had more success with the "manual" drivers then "Hardware Drivers" [05:14] Barridus: if you want a hint, avoid using the word "girl" [05:14] i can hang a few more [05:14] egn: because its auto-configured nowadays [05:14] oh I think it's done [05:14] restarting [05:14] well imma turn in for the night but ill be here [05:14] ziroday: when X starts? [05:14] mneptok, well it was simpler than saying i was going to go into my hairdresser and ask her out for dinner XD [05:14] egn: yep [05:14] ziroday: what if I want to add something to it? [05:15] Barridus: "woman" or "lady" is your best nomenclature for someone you want to date, IME ;) [05:15] egn: feel free to. [05:15] ziroday: hm, okay [05:15] what is grub? [05:15] perhaps if they actually stopped forcing buggy drivers down our throats through naglets and [recommended] we wouldn't have to use the manual drivers since they are more up to date then what ubuntu offers through Hardware Drivers [05:15] grub loading.... [05:15] !grub > Davide [05:15] Davide, please see my private message [05:15] hi, fixing grub after a windows installation strictly, only only only affects the mbr right?

[05:16] Does compiz work with Jaunty? [05:16] I have Jaunty [05:17] your soundcard might not be able to handle pulse, Davide [05:17] Davide: open a Terminal and type "killall pulseaudio" (no quotes) [05:17] loquitus_of_borg: yes, ask in #ubuntu+1 [05:17] Davide: once loaded open the terminal.. Applications/accessories/terminal and type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and your system will be brought up to par with all the updates. [05:17] mneptok, well this is far from my first date experience XD === adam is now known as Guest757 [05:18] find [05:18] ziroday: yes as in it works? (sorry... I am on that other channel now but in case nobody helps me there...) [05:19] loquitus_of_borg: yes it works. And yes you have to ask in #ubuntu+1 only [05:19] Scunizi ok running upgrade then gonna do dist-upgrade [05:19] loquitus_of_borg, well it depends on hardware, but it runs awesome for me [05:19] * mneptok heads to bed [05:19] on two machines i might add [05:19] ziroday, I checked twitter and MSN was down. This time it wasn't the protocol failing. Their whole network went kobonk. [05:19] has anyone tried 'awesomeWM' ?? [05:19] Scunizi can that be done from the GUI? [05:19] ziroday: a little update on what happened: windows 7 refused to install, i erased its partition, tried some ways to remove its bootloader, ended up killing xp as well and lost my stuff, ubuntu is intact, reinstalled xp, now i need to regrub [05:20] BiosElement: wfm [05:20] ziroday: and i am worried about regrubbing... [05:20] Davide: with the && between commands you could have done it all on one line.. the && means "continue if the last was successful" [05:20] !list [05:20] This is not a file sharing channel (or network).

[05:34] Anon: is this handled though in any gui? or just at command line? [05:34] last time it happened, i formatted... lol [05:34] bonez46: cli [05:35] UbuntuShake73263, heh. i forget the file name [05:35] cli? [05:35] do i type apt-get install vlc [05:35] UbuntuShake73263, try "find / -name xsession" [05:35] bonez46: command line interface [05:35] bonez46: command line interface. That is, yes, execute that in the command line. [05:35] ok. [05:35] mopoyo: sudo apt-get install vlc [05:35] mopoyo: most probably sudo apt-get ... [05:35] where do i do that? in a terminal? [05:35] UbuntuShake73263, yes. [05:35] usser: Yes, that will install what is required to build it, but I'm asking what is needed to put the appropriate header files into /usr/include/ so I can write software for it. [05:36] where does it download vlc from [05:36] mopoyo: ubuntu repos [05:36] mopoyo: the great repository of ubuntu [05:36] hmm, it seems i dont have any user and i'm locked out of root, fun [05:36] Anon: ok, but how do I assure that my resources are shared, so that my windows machine can see the printer attached to my ubuntu box? [05:36] Schalken, software for what? i dont think i understand? [05:36] bonez46: That, I can't help you with, unfortunately. Never done anything of the sort. [05:36] UbuntuShake73263, also try .xsession if that yields nothing [05:37] Xcell: I'm going to try a random reboot... that seems to fix stuff 50% of the time ;) [05:37] Scunizi bleah still no sound... [05:37] ok.. did you install all that tho? [05:37] My places menu won't open my home folder. Any ideas? [05:37] Xcell: Yeah [05:37] seems like its hanging after that first command [05:37] ok [05:37] Davide: did you check the alsa mixer to see if it was muted? [05:37] Xcell: Still no sound... [05:37] ok good luck [05:37] now how do I do that/ [05:37] ? [05:37] did you ask me to do that I must have missed it sorry [05:38] UbuntuShake73263, no - its just searching your entire filesystem for that xsession file [05:38] Davide: double click the little speaker icon up by the date/clock and you'll see the sliders.. you have to play with them. [05:38] I have downloaded the source for libgpod in .tar.gz format. Extracted, ./configured, make'd and make install'd. That has correctly install the libraries. But to develop for libgpod I need header files that I can include. I'm asking what needs to be done in the source tree in order to install these header files. [05:38] Davide: PCM needs to be up.. Master needs to be up. [05:38] does anyone have a recommendation for a Twitter client for Ubuntu? [05:38] ohzie, cool cool... i also tried .xsession in a seperate terminal but i got a command not found [05:38] the find is still searching, i'll let you know [05:39] pumpkinseed: gtwitter (gnome) and choqok (kde) are some that come to mind. All of them are in the repos. [05:39] usser: ^^ [05:39] pumpkinseed: apt-cache search twitter [05:40] alright, i got a bunch of stuff found when i did a find xsession. 2 files in the /root/ folder but most of em are in the /proc folder [05:40] and they all say permission denied [05:40] Anon: Yeah, I know of a bunch of clients... I'm just wondering what some of you guys recommend [05:40] Scunizi so everything unmuted and up? [05:40] UbuntuShake73263, how are you doing the search? can you swith to another virtual terminal with an "Alt+Fx"?? [05:40] Hence "recommendation"... [05:40] does anyone in here have an idea of how to back up my current partition as an image/.iso so i can burn it to disc as my backup? [05:40] Davide: yep.. you might also have to click on properties and add Front and Side.. but guessing from the age of your machine that's probably not an option [05:40] I ask for things in a certain way for a reason, thank you very much :P [05:40] pumpkinseed: I have no idea. Try them out and see which one works for you, I guess. [05:40] :p [05:41] thanks [05:41] Double_Kill2, you can use "dd" [05:41] Schalken, just get the header files and put them into /usr/include and source files and put them into /usr/src [05:41] what's dd? [05:41] pumpkinseed: Ask on twitter if you have enough followers :O [05:41] *:P [05:41] Double_Kill2, command line thing.. > "man dd" [05:41] does any buddy knows any apps on linux where i can get yahoo voice support ? [05:41] usser: How do I know which ones I need? There are about a dozen, and the old libgpod-dev package only has one of them. Surely there would be a command I can run in the source tree to do it for me? [05:41] oh, can you explain, sorry i'm new to linux :/ [05:41] guys where can i learn the commands of ubuntu?!!? [05:42] Double_Kill2, there are also plenty of tools that do that.. gui tools that is [05:42] mopoyo: There are too many to know. [05:42] Schalken, its nothing special really, its just for your convinience that you put stuff into /usr/include so you can write stuff #include instead of #include "libgpod/blah.h" [05:42] Scunizi yeah nothing happening... I'm giving up on this with this hardware at least... [05:42] mopoyo: man for info on a command. [05:42] gonna have to buy another card or something [05:42] mopoyo: This might be a good start: http://fosswire.com/post/2008/4/ubuntu-cheat-sheet/ [05:42] a question i was wondering if you could tell me how to install a compiz theme specifically this one http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Yakano+-Colors-?content=95885 in ubuntu [05:42] jjrev, alright, i got a bunch of stuff found when i did a find xsession. 2 files in the /root/ folder but most of em are in the /proc folder. They all say permission denied if that matters. [05:42] Davide: add in cards are cheap.. check craigs list in your area [05:42] yes i am new to this so i'm not exactally totally following you [05:42] hello i have a HP card to watch tv, can someone help me to install it please === josh___ is now known as joshbeck [05:42] Schalken, if not sure just put the header files that you know you'll need into your own program source tree, again /usr/include is just for your convenience [05:43] Could someone help me with my places menu? [05:43] I have the windows drivers can't I FORCE them onto linux? LOL [05:43] lol === joshbeck is now known as jbeck2 [05:43] Double_Kill2, look into GParted [05:43] LOL Xcell [05:43] I'm trying to compile gcalctool but I'm not sure how to specify where to find the .glade file, where I should ask this question? [05:43] usser: I see. I just thought there was a "right way" to do it. Thanks for your help! [05:43] Schalken, sure [05:43] nickgarvey: their forums [05:44] what does apt-get update do? [05:44] brb.. coffee. [05:44] ziroday: what is the difference between opensource ati driver and catalyst? [05:44] UbuntuShake73263, heh.. yeah, i should've known better [05:44] anon: what do you need? [05:44] UbuntuShake73263, i'm pretty sure its going to be ~/.xsession [05:44] oh no, what did i do wrong? i dont like the sound of that [05:44] well... I"m actually gonna have to install windows now :( [05:44] lol [05:44] mopoyo: it updates the package database [05:44] hmw: My places menu doesn't open my home folder. It says No application is registered as handling this file [05:45] UbuntuShake73263, try "nano ~/.xsession" [05:45] hmw: My home folder is on the same partition/disk as everything else.

I still have that on CD from last time I tried to mess with mythtv [05:45] Davide: nope.. that would be a regression [05:46] mopoyo: the list of what packages are available and information about them, like what version they are, what other packages they need, and a description of what each one does [05:46] UbuntuShake73263, alright. let me get back to you [05:46] Scunizi if I run from "Live CD?" can I test with that to see if I get sound? with 7.10? [05:46] Anon: something seems to be broken with your gnome or nautilus. I cant tell, whats wrong, neither do I know, where to look for the error. It probably is related to something you or a program did. [05:46] right on jjrev, take your time and thanks for the help. [05:46] hello i have a HP card to watch tv, can someone help me to install it please [05:46] Davide: yea.. you could.. if it works there then it's just the setup in the new install that needs tweeking [05:46] Anon: do you have any idea, what action could have been related to this?

[05:55] chicoDF: I'm not sure if that is due to something bad in the source code for zsnes [05:55] mopoyo: you can also google the key number mentioned.. [05:55] lstarnes~$ long FULL output [05:55] UbuntuShake73263, do you see a gui when you start the machine to log in? [05:55] jjrev, when i boot up, there isnt an option that lets me pick the gui [05:55] Hello everyone [05:55] UbuntuShake73263, is there a log in screen? [05:55] don't i have to delete that public key? because it's not available? [05:56] UbuntuShake73263: There isn't anything that says options in the bottom left hand corner when you boot up? [05:56] mopoyo: you have to install that public key [05:56] MrObvious: okie, at least it works [05:56] Xcell: Downloaded [05:56] UbuntuShake73263, if so, there should be an options button near the bottom of the log in window [05:56] lstarnes, look like it has got to the help screen when I call it like sudo -h | so on [05:56] lstarnes~$ it's a complete code for zsnes with the command "make" [05:56] jjrev, well, after the kubuntu screen loads, it goes back to the boot process and shows me battery state... if i switch to a new window, i think its by using f2 or the f keys or somethin, it asks me to login, so i do, but then it brings me to a terminal [05:56] Scunizi no sound in 7.10 live environment [05:56] jjrev and im_toast, no, there is no options button for me [05:56] lstarnes: i don't understand why i have to install it? [05:56] anyone having problems with Pidgin or aMSN not signing in? [05:57] that is wierd... [05:57] Davide: 7.10 is real old, use 8.04 at least [05:57] mopoyo: it is needed to make sure that the packages are safe [05:57] Im_Toast-- also check your (sound) in sys/prefs/sound and fiddle with that.. make sure its all on alsa [05:57] Davide: considering the age of the mb.. it should be fixable.. just will take some investigation and experimentation [05:57] no BonezAU [05:57] Im_Toast, UbuntuShake73263 agreed.. very strange [05:57] mopoyo: it also verifies that what you get from the ppa is actually from the ppa and not hijacked from someplace else [05:57] jjrev, so your saying that when it shows me "ubuntu" on the screen, it should have an options button at the bottom left? [05:58] Scunizi what kind of investigation/experimentation? how would one go about figuring that out? would that be too much trouble for what it's worth? [05:58] BonezAU, I think MSN is making some changes that are causing problems but pidgin seems fine [05:58] UbuntuShake73263, yep [05:58] hmw: I was pretty sure I searched. Guess I needed to search better. [05:58] mopoyo: you could try sudo apt-key update [05:58] Davide: up to you.. just more learning..:) [05:58] just test amsn BonezAU login in ok from here in AU [05:58] Anon: np. [05:58] jjrev, ahhh... i dont know what i did wrong to install it then. Ive formatted and reinstalled like 3 times and never once have i see a button.

[06:02] Cryonisis: this channel [06:02] !ask | Cryonisis [06:02] Cryonisis: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:02] MrObvious: yeah [06:02] hey guys, I've been having this strange issue, I can see my sda disk and it's partitions (1,2,3, they're ntfs) however when I try to mount any of them I get a $MFT invalid magic. I tried ntfsfix /dev/sda1 but it says that they aren't there (it's true, only sda is there on /dev) [06:03] How weird is that? how can I run ntfsfix on sda1? I can see it on parted [06:03] chicoDF: it looks like an extra -L at the end of that g++ command. I think the maintainers of zsnes might want to know about that [06:03] I can also see them from fdisk, and whenever I try to 'fix' them it says ntfs support isn't available [06:03] <_-RED-_> hello [06:03] mamama: seeing it in parted is not the same as having it mounted [06:03] lstarnes~$ mmm [06:03] I'm on a netbook so I can't really boot into windows and run chkfdisk from a CD/DVD [06:03] server irc.ru [06:04] NO_PUBKEY 9423A34CCA967634 [06:04] lstarnes~$ tks [06:04] hmw I can't use ntfsfix to sort of fix the partition because it says sda1 doesn't exist [06:04] /connect irc.ru [06:04] yet I can see it on fdisk/parted no problem [06:04] Cryonisis: your in the right place to ask us all. What is your problem? [06:04] typing it now, sec [06:04] chuxxsss: but "sudo -h" doesn't work? [06:05] hmw Any ideas ? [06:05] if i wanted to connect an sshfs drive when a certain user logs into the desktop, where would I put the command? [06:05] where can i get this key NO_PUBKEY 9423A34CCA967634 [06:05] I am running Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Downloaded 9.04, booted off the disc and started the install. when ti came to starting the partition tool, a message came up about GNU Parted not supporting something or other and that the coding was experimental and offered to "go Back" or Continue. I have selected both and nothing happens. It just sits and does nothing at all. [06:05] No I am getting sudo -h| -l | -L so on lstarnes [06:05] chuxxsss: what is NOT working with sudo?

[06:24] hey everyone, I frequently use torrents and am a part of a website that uses ratios for various things. I haven't forwarded my ports correctly and my seeding is messing up. I have checked on portforward.com and I have seen my router and the instructions listed there. My problem is that I dont know which ports to forward and to where. [06:25] yes i did, but i am not very good doing that, i only did make [06:25] kitchenrange: that depends on the client you use. You will have better chances on answers, if you search the web for something like " port forward howto" [06:25] hmw yes i did, but i am not very good doing that, i only did make [06:25] I installed a file from source that I downloaded through the ubuntu packages page because it couldn't be downloaded through apt or synaptic. However, now apt and synaptic don't recognize that it's there when I try to download a program that needs it....any workarounds, or do I probably need to install everything else manually as well? [06:25] k thx hmw [06:26] robert00: you will likely have to use ./configure before that. Let me find a tutorial for you... [06:27] Geoffrey2: if it wasn't a .deb then the package manager hasn't logged it.. if you had to download it that way then you got it from a repo not designed for your install. or a repo that you haven't enabled. [06:27] robert00: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-Building-HOWTO.html [06:28] robert00: pls pastebin README and INSTALL [06:28] k3b froze on my desktop and i tried to use force quit and other ways to get rid of this [06:28] Scunizi, I got the file from packages.ubuntu.com....I couldn't download it because I kept getting a 404 Not Found error every time apt tried to fetch it, the repo is definitely enabled [06:29] the file is libpq-dev [06:29] Geoffrey2: then maybe the mirror you're using is having issues.. synaptic can look for a faster one automatically if you look in it's' menu [06:30] OMG [06:30] i just installed a game for ubuntu AND NOW ITS NOT HERE === [empire] is now known as empire [06:30] Hi, I'm back. I deleted the empty partition leaving the 40gb space but it gave me the same error when trying to read the partitions during start up. Here is the exact text it had: Warning: Device /dev/sde has a logical sector size of 2048. Not all parts of GNU Parted support this at the moment, and the working code is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL. [06:30] was wondering what happened to the xorgconfig utility in ubuntu 8.10? [06:31] k3b froze on my desktop and i tried to use force quit are there any other ways to get rid of this [06:31] !!!!!!!!!!!11 [06:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about 11 [06:31] xkill krammer [06:31] Cryonisis: can you delete the partition using the partition editor built into the live cd? [06:31] Cryonisis: that makes sense. Usually, a sector is 4 times bigger. How did it get formatted that way? what kind of drive is it? [06:31] mopoyo: which game did you install? [06:31] jakedp, how do i do that? [06:32] lstarnes, i don't remember!!! but shouldn't it be in games? [06:32] Scunizi, where do I look it Synaptic for that option> [06:32] mopoyo: it may depend on what it was [06:32] lstarnes, it was a shooting game [06:32] mopoyo: nexuiz? [06:32] lstarnes, and now KDE doesn't even work [06:32] open a terminal or Alt-F2 and type xkill, when your cursor changes to an X click on the frozen app [06:32] Geoffrey2: sorry I don't remember off the top of my head.. I'm in a console right now with no gui [06:33] Scunizi: Is there a partition manager on the live cd? if so, how to I use it/access it's interface/command list?

[06:33] lstarnes, 8.10 [06:34] i just did an apt-get update and updated all my progs!! now it won't load my kubuntu session [06:34] still there [06:34] hi [06:34] hola [06:34] hi, everyone! [06:34] speak spanish [06:34] krammer the cursor changed to an X? [06:34] mopoyo: apt-get update won't update anything but the package database. to actually upgrade the packages, use apt-get upgrade [06:34] yes [06:35] robert00: the readme says: "just do >>make<< and then >>make install<<". You just issued "make", as you said. Now try "make install" to get the newly created stuff moved to its right location on your file system.

Had to do it a second time to get the terminal killed... strange [06:35] usually forcequit takes care it [06:35] Geoffrey2: just takes some searching.. [06:35] lstarnes, i went into aptitude or watever!! and upgraded everything [06:36] hmw: according to windows the disc is a 186gb HDD with 40gb free space. the remainder is taken up with a windows non system partition that has some games on it. [06:36] i just reboot thanks [06:36] krammer open a terminal and type top and look for k3b, it will have a number on the far left and press k and return then the number and return then 9 and return [06:36] Cryonisis: it is a normal IDE or SATA drive?

[06:38] leo /join #ubuntu+1 for 9.04 assistance thanks [06:38] k then try ps -aux | grep k3b in a terminal, note number then kill -9 and the number [06:39] robert00: if you look into that output, you will see "permission denied". I am not confident about what I suggest now: Do it as root (sudo make install), but only, if you wouldnt mind messing up your system. If your system is important, seek help elsewhere (e.g. at the website of the programmers, mailing list or such) [06:39] mopoyo: if you're using kubuntu, it should normally work when logging normally [06:39] the 9 means kill right away [06:39] lstarnes, an error message popped up and now im on gnome!! [06:39] mopoyo: what was the error? [06:39] thanks [06:39] i don't remember :< [06:40] anybody remember the text based xserver utility xorgconfig? was wondering if it got renamed or dleeted in ubuntu 8.10 [06:40] hmw u mean i can broke my system? [06:41] robert00: anything you do as root is potentially putting your system at risk. As you are trying to install a kernel module, i think, it should be ok and even neccecary to do it as root. But I am not 100% sure. Chances of real damaging your sys are low in my opinion. [06:41] and why does ubuntu have no decent x resolution config gui? [06:41] or xorgconfig, very miffed about this [06:42] jakedp: because everybody keeps complaining about this fact instead of writing a better one. Welcome to the Free Open Source World *g* [06:42] HELP [06:42] jakedp: the x subsystem has been changed in the last release or so to randr.. xrandr helps configure but it's cli [06:42] could my problem be caused by one of the other 2 HDD's i have in the machine? (1 x 240gb IDE and 1 x 160gb SATA which is the system drive) [06:42] hmw i did with sudo and start copying and that but then say go out from directory /home/carlos/Descargas/v4l-dvb-dba0b6fae413/v4l [06:42] xorgconfig is part of standard x distro why is it not in ubuntu? [06:43] oh thanks Scunizi [06:43] Cryonisis: i doubt that. The sector size is defined, when the drive is formatted. If i am not mistaken, sector size is global for all partitions on that disk. Some strange program must have decided to use such small sectors. I am puzzled. [06:43] robert00: pls rephrase that [06:43] tukkkkkkkkkkkyyyyy === bruno1 is now known as _Brun0_ [06:44] Cryonisis: maybe you can delete the partition with gparted and creat it anew. [06:44] how come the ubuntu updates downloads both linux-headers and linux-headers generic?

You will get a screen that allows you to delete and create partitions. Delete it, create it again, make sure you select "format" and assign "ext3" and mount point "/" [06:47] jakedp: I mean manually entering what's needed.. check the link and also google for "sis ubuntu".. I'm sure that ubuntuforums.org has info too [06:47] la linda [06:47] By the way, looks like v2.6.30-rc1/09-Apr-2009 01:40 finally made it to ubuntu stable [06:48] was hoping to avoid xorg.conf don' t like writing them by hand no more, novelty wore off [06:48] Any help on building an arm toolchain?

I select install, it asks my language, then my location, then it detects my network, then asks for a computer name and then after that it start to detect the partitions and that is when it pops up with the message. do i need to change one of the settings with the F2 - F6 keys before starting the install? [06:49] SunnyDP: if you just want the kernel, then linux-image-2.6.29-020629-generic_2.6.29-020629_.deb [06:50] tsimpson: thanks [06:50] you only need the headers if you want to compile modules for the kernel [06:50] hmw yes leave directory i think is an error, well thats not an error? [06:51] Cryonisis: i dont know. maybe SOMEONE ELSE IN THIS CHANNEL can help you with this... never had a hd with 2KB sectors. You could delete the complete hard drive and format it normally, but i wouldnt even know, how you should do that [06:51] I've forgotten my system's password, how do I reset it?

[06:52] this is the error message i'm getting [06:52] colton_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword [06:52] /usr/bin/startkde not found [06:52] danke [06:53] <_Brun0_> whats the command to check what is mounted in my usb? like the mouse? what do I need to use usb mouse in ubuntu? [06:53] _Brun0_ lsusb [06:53] /usr/bin/startkde not found [06:53] Looking to build an arm toolchain, can I get help? [06:53] /usr/bin/startkde not found [06:53] lstarnes, [06:53] mopoyo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:53] <_Brun0_> hmw: is there a way that i can put this chat to background and try that? i'm in commandline [06:54] mopoyo: this may be a long shot, but try running sudo apt-get reinstall kubuntu-desktop [06:54] invalid operation reinstall [06:54] ubuntu21: maybe the linuxfromscratch.org people can help you (they have their own IRC). Some of them use ARMs... [06:54] mopoyo: oops. replace apt-get with aptitude in that command [06:55] _Brun0_ if youre on the console (no graphics), you can use ALT-F1, ALT-F2... ALT-F6 to switch to different consoles. If youre in a terminal _window_, just press SHIFT-CTRL-T [06:55] <_Brun0_> hmw: is there a way to put this x ir client (weechat) to background then restore it? (like alt+tab but in x) [06:56] _Brun0_: you could try screen [06:56] I changed the mount point of a device and now when i try to mount it i recieve: Cannot Mount volume, is there a way that i can change the mountpoint back to a null value? [06:56] <_Brun0_> hmw: i'm in console.. i have no working wm yet. i want to setup icewm.. but it cant recognize keybaord or mouse.. 1 sec i'll try the lsusb command [06:56] _Brun0_ i dont know. But this will do: press CTRL-ALT-F1 to leave the x window system. log in, try it and then use CTRL-ALT-F7 to go back [06:56] lstarnes, now KDE isn't even in the session list! [06:57] mopoyo: that's very odd. I don't think I've ever heard of this happening before [06:58] Are there any documented procedures for installing ubuntu in a chroot? [06:58] <_Brun0_> hmw: good news! lsusb shows a line with: Microsoft Basic Optiocal Mouse (thats my mouse). Any hint on how to setup it with xorg? Mouse is not working in IceWM. [06:58] thanks all! [06:59] _Brun0_ i know to little about X. please ask someone else or google. [06:59] is there a remote desktop for ubutnu that works with the efficiency of windows remote desktop protocol? I have yet to see something like VNC compete with terminal services in terms of speed, but I'm willing to give anything a go. [06:59] any idea how to set mac based acces in wgr 614 [06:59] man?!!!!!!!1 [06:59] how do i reinstall ubuntu from the very beginnign~!!!!! [06:59] <_Brun0_> hmw: dunno why but I did CTRL+ALT+F3 then i started icewm from there and mouse worked! WOOOHOOOOO! ty for your attention. [06:59] lstarnes, i'm going to kill you [07:00] mopoyo: I didn't do anything [07:00] say that again [07:00] <_Brun0_> hmw: brb with icewm+xchat =P [07:00] i dare u [07:00] * mopoyo rams lstarnes against the wall [07:00] mopoyo, better to blame it on the evil penguins [07:00] _Brun0_ hmm... would be cool to find out, what happened. maybe it was just a delay. i had delays after plugging in usb mice, too. [07:01] windows is so much better than linux [07:01] mopoyo, name on way [07:01] mopoyo: then you may go back to it. The issue you had rarely happens [07:01] mopoyo: what's your gripe? [07:01] why has mopoyo not been banned yet XD [07:01] well anyways I found a page on my issue, thanks #ubuntu [07:02] mopoyo: why are you using linux, then? [07:02] my uni is forcing me [07:02] mopoyo: see, linux is a box of lego bricks. You can do many creative things with it. Windows is more like the porsche, but it will always have the same color. Do you want to drive fast or to try new things? [07:03] mopoyo: dont complain about a lego car to be slower than a porsche. [07:03] i just changed the mount point to my usb storage, i think it has a space it in, either case i cant mount it now, is there a way to fix the mount point? [07:03] hmw: I hope you aren't serious [07:03] hmw, linux has too many problems [07:03] mopoyo, stop [07:04] mopoyo, I have yet to encounter a I386 that ubuntu will not install on eventually and only one amd64 that gave problems [07:04] kop: mopoyo is not worried about installing it === gaurav_ is now known as Guest89004 [07:04] at least that's what I'm getting out of this [07:04] fogus mopoyo: it was a metaphor of course. My XP is twice as fast as jaunty. I love linux, because its WAY MORE secure than windows. My xp crashes less often. My Xp doesnt let me work as efficiently as linux. It all depends on what you want to do. [07:05] bazhang, there is the entertainment value even though it's quickly waning [07:05] hmw im robert00 i start my system with the card plugged in and say is not any dec¿vice i unplugged and my system freeze and now is more time to load it how can i do? uninstall or what [07:06] <_Brun0_> hmw, I'm in xchat under icewm! Its a fresh ubuntu alternate install. This is what I call robust desktop lol. Thanks for your attenion. [07:06] lalillo: hmm... uninstalling is _sometimes_ possible with make. ask make, what it can do: make --help [07:06] _Brun0_ youre welcome [07:06] guys... how do i reinstall ubuntu! i just want to start over!!!!11 [07:07] <_Brun0_> is there any chance that lsusb "activated" my usb mouse? [07:07] _Brun0_ i doubt it, but i dont know [07:07] <_Brun0_> hmw, hmm [07:07] hmw: in what way is linux more secure than xp? [07:07] hmw well first ill wait i have now 167 new updates since i install drivers [07:07] fogus: afaik, there are only 2 viruses for linux [07:07] <_Brun0_> mopoyo, don't rush.. backup your data first, specially in /home/_username_/ [07:08] fogus: its almost impossible to get trojans and spyware with linux (at least compared to windows) [07:08] while I'm here ~ nvidia has me stuck at 640x480 with any driver is this the right place to ask for help or ... [07:08] <_Brun0_> fogus, linux don't have virus [07:08] oops nearly forgot all my assignments are on here! thx _Brun0_ [07:08] How to protect our data when it's transfer [07:08] <_Brun0_> fogus, linux have true native file permissions [07:08] hmw: is it more secure because it is attacked by fewer viruses? [07:09] fogus, that is closer to the truth [07:09] fogus: 1) fewer people use linux, therefore virus programmers dont focus on it so much. 2) linux is constructed in a way, that makes it VERY difficult to write a working virus [07:10] ok! so how do i reinstall ubuntu?! [07:10] hmw: then my home is more secure than an armed US patrol. bad measure of security [07:10] haw rootkits and browser jacks are another story [07:10] fogus: replace VERY with VERY VERY VERY (= almost IMPOSSIBLE) [07:10] <_Brun0_> yea hmw is right. and linux distro varies alot so viruses cannot infect "linux" at all. [07:11] lets take security talk to #ubuntu-offtopic please [07:11] STOP IGNORING ME [07:11] mopoyo, lose the caps [07:11] mopoyo: restart the computer an boot from cd === WERDER|iceroot is now known as iceroot [07:11] it's cool how you reply when i type in caps but not when i ask a question [07:12] <_Brun0_> mopoyo, when you talk to someone, put their name in the message... preferably in the beginning of it so the person can know who you're talking to. [07:12] mopoyo, back up files; boot from installer (live cd) [07:12] mopoyo: what course are you taking with your university that it forces you to use linux as a main OS and not a virtual machine? [07:12] did mopoyo say something? I was ignoring them [07:12] g4lt-lappy: that kind of behavior is not constructive [07:12] g4lt-lappy, who ? [07:13] what's a virtual machine? [07:13] mopoyo: reinstall ubuntu the same way you installed it: pop the cd in, boot it up, click a lot [07:13] fogus, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [07:13] i just have to learn how to use linux.. that's all so i can use the cse machines at uni [07:13] !vm > mopoyo [07:13] mopoyo, please see my private message [07:13] lstarnes, and somehow mopoyo's is? [07:13] does ubuntu 8.10 run a firewall by default? [07:13] mopoyo: like vmware or virtualbox - it's basically a computer that runs inside of your computer [07:13] g4lt-lappy: two wrongs don't make a right [07:13] In Linux, how to protect our data when it's transfer? [07:13] fogus: this channel is very busy. We should try reduce unneeded chat here. Lets talk in offtopic [07:13] Aval0n: no, but it comes with firewall software [07:14] k [07:14] ty [07:14] Aval0n: it runs iptables and ufw. By default I think they have no rules set [07:14] <_Brun0_> Aval0n, no. mine is off. You can check the message about it at boot (or shutdown, cant remember) [07:14] lstarnes, when you actually handle the first wrong, talk to me [07:14] thnx [07:14] !firewall | Aval0n [07:14] Aval0n: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [07:14] clarence: it depends on the method of transfer [07:14] mopoyo: meet me in offtopic. hmw, understood. [07:14] I"m trying to get eggdrop to run [07:14] but it never connects [07:14] I have the config done right [07:15] but it never shows in netstat [07:15] ok i'm going to boot into my live cd [07:15] Aval0n: might want to check in #eggdrop [07:15] not sure what the heck the issue is now [07:15] method of transfer [07:15] gnea: did [07:15] they have been idle for ever [07:15] :) [07:15] method of transfer?' [07:15] heh [07:15] thx for ur help guys [07:15] clarence: the way in thich the data is being transferred [07:16] Aval0n: well, it's basically an unattended irc client, so as long as your config file is setup right, it should connect... iirc, you can set the debuggin rate to spew a lot of informative messages to help you troubleshoot the problems [07:16] *debugging [07:16] lstarnes: thanks [07:17] clarence: different ways require different protection [07:17] I see [07:17] yeah [07:17] not sure why it never connects [07:18] I think irssi is more convinience than pidgin [07:19] what means? [07:20] clarence, pidgin is a catch-all proram, irssi is IRC specific [07:20] hi, all === br is now known as Guest16294 === fore_ is now known as fore [07:21] anyone know how do i get my RAR file password? [07:21] crack it [07:21] software? [07:21] yes [07:21] tomcyl: you are lucky , a new rar cracker just came out [07:21] tomcyl, nontrivially. best way is to get it from who rar'd it in the first place [07:21] which? [07:22] tomcyl: go check on forge [07:22] hi [07:22] i need to backup my system [07:22] would tar cf be ok? [07:23] tomcyl: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/howto-crack-rar-7z-and-zip-files-with.html [07:23] xipi: what is "cf" for ? [07:24] tomcyl: crack rar password, you can use advanced rar password recovery [07:24] Hey Guys... this might be a bit off topic, but I was wondering if anyone has a script handy which will create an rrd graph for a gigabit network card? I've got one which I think is configured for 100Mbps, but it seems to be dropping the data beause there's so much data going out [07:24] can I disable the audio port at the back of my pc? Alsa Mixer can disable the head phone w/c is at at the Front Panel audio port [07:24] SunnyDP: i thought for archive creation. am i mistaken? [07:25] hi there [07:25] use advanced rar password recovery takes too long [07:25] rarcrack ok? [07:25] xipi: not sure myself, that's why i asked [07:25] n kubuntu 8.10 what utility can I use to view system information about hardware [07:25] ? [07:25] yes [07:25] tomcyl: yes [07:26] SunnyDP: it seems, as if i should study a bit more [07:26] xipi: yes :D [07:26] fcrackzip or rarcrack? [07:26] xipi: go to www.ryos.org and grab the backup episode [07:26] advanced rar password recovery, rar crack [07:27] hi is there any application to check cpu temperatures in kde? [07:27] tomcyl: advanced rar password recovery, rar crack [07:28] can't install the testdisk-6.10 [07:28] advanced rar password recovery? where i can get it? [07:28] can't install the testdisk-6.10 [07:29] SunnyDP: Thank you. I will have a look [07:29] Why program "notify-send" can't work in Ubuntu 8.10? It can work in Debian. [07:29] tomcyl: go to google, and type advanced rar password recovery [07:29] How do you in the cammandline restart pulseaudio? [07:30] holyguyver: pulseaudio -k and then pulseaudio -D [07:30] Thank you [07:30] ManateeLazyCat: what about it doesn't work? [07:30] When i use "notify-send" send string, and nothing to popup. Is a bug? [07:30] nascentmind: ktemperature [07:30] clarence , that it for windows, takes too long to crack [07:30] crdlb: "notify-send" can't popup window [07:31] ManateeLazyCat: is it installed? ... [07:31] crdlb: It can't popup, but can popup window in Debian. I don't know why? You can make "notify-send" popup window. [07:31] crdlb: Of course [07:31] crdlb: libnotify-bin [07:31] ManateeLazyCat: is notification-daemon installed? [07:32] ManateeLazyCat: if so, is that process running? [07:32] crdlb: Yep [07:32] tomcyl: maybe your password is very difficult to crack [07:32] maybe [07:33] crdlb: What do you mean with "is that process running"? "notify-send" just work when notification-daemon running? [07:34] g4lt-lappy, what you mean by "best way is to get it from who rar'd it in the first place" ? [07:34] yasasvy, my /proc/acpi/thermal_zone is empty. why is that? [07:34] tomcyl: you have a last way to solve this problem [07:34] ManateeLazyCat: dbus is supposed to spawn it [07:34] what is ? [07:35] tomcyl: take the file to winxp [07:35] tomcyl: and download the advanced rar password recovery [07:35] tomaw, meaning that the password isn there to prevent unauthorized access. if you don't know th e password, by definition, you're unauthorized. if you rar'd it yourself, my suggestion is to use a decent compression like bzip or gzip [07:35] tomcyl, ^^^^^ [07:35] i did try [07:36] crdlb: Simple, can you give me all the steps that make "notify-send" work in Ubuntu 8.10, i install Ubuntu use alternative CD, need others configure? Thanks [07:36] be paitient [07:36] be patient [07:37] ManateeLazyCat: it works out of the box, so we have to figure out why it's not working [07:37] there are no "steps" [07:37] crdlb: In Debian, just install "libnotify-send", everything is okay, i don't know why Ubuntu can't [07:37] ManateeLazyCat: do you get any errors from notify-send "foo" in a terminal, if so, pastebin it [07:37] crdlb: Nothing [07:38] ManateeLazyCat: have you checked if notification-daemon is running? [07:39] I setup a mobile connection in network manager for my ATT card... how do I tell it to connect? [07:39] thanks i will try [07:40] crdlb: I haven't process running that name is notification-daemon even i have install it. [07:40] testABC44: try go on the internet? [07:40] testABC44, click on the nm-applet in the upper right, select the ATT connection from the dropdown [07:40] hmmm [07:40] ManateeLazyCat: then run /usr/lib/notification-daemon/notification-daemon in a terminal [07:41] hi... i would like to know which one best webcam ?/ [07:41] g4lt-lappy: there is no att in teh dropdown.. but there is when I go to edit connections [07:41] how do i upgrade my openoffice to 3.0?

[07:45] crdlb: Have a process running that named "notification-da" [07:46] crdlb: Yep, nothing [07:46] ManateeLazyCat: pastebin the output of 'dpkg -L notification-daemon' [07:46] clearence: yes support linux [07:46] does ubuntu support ms-dos flopps? [07:46] g4lt-lappy: I did the edit and added the ATT under the mobile connections.. however there does not seem to be a place to actually tell it to connect.... [07:46] taz_: google best webcam [07:47] clearence: what model and name of webcam? [07:47] a81u64_usr: yes [07:47] * ManateeLazyCat pasted "dpkg -L notification-daemon" at http://paste2.org/get/181301 [07:47] testABC44, not from the right-click menu, no. try standard, or left-click [07:47] crdlb: See above [07:47] can anyone help me mount my CD/DVD drive [07:47] a81u64_usr i guess you just need to mount the floppy drive somewhere [07:48]  taz_:  google linux webcam [07:48] what is it mean?

[07:50] tomcyl, pdf files have very little to do with rar [07:50] ubuntu 8.10 doesnt have anything setup to limit background processes does it? [07:50] ManateeLazyCat: does 'echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS' give some long string containing unix:abstract? [07:51] what you mean, i cannot crack RAR file? [07:51] tsai1, you can see when you connected from /var/oog/daemon.log, then do math? [07:51]  tomcyl: doid you found the way to solve?

Here is ubuntu 8.10 alternat command-line install with IceWM. [07:55] i dont think contents are the pdf [07:55] ManateeLazyCat: I have no idea what's wrong; do you get any notifications? eg from a music player on song change [07:55] is there any way to open gnome-terminal in the center of my screen by default? === jens is now known as Guest65457 [07:56] ziroday, thanks. [07:56] crdlb: I'm not install music player, and this problem looks so strange [07:57] tomcyl, that's what your rarcrack output implied [07:57] all photos [07:58] . [07:58] crdlb: It can works in your computer? [07:58] OK I reinstalled ubuntu [07:59] <_Brun0_> How can I know which clipboard app/daemon i'm running? It's not gnome's one. [07:59] fcrackzip always tells me i "No such file or directory [07:59] Segmentation fault [07:59] " [07:59] <_Brun0_> mopoyo, nice [07:59] tomcyl, my next question is why in the name of all that's holy did you use rar of all things? especially if you're prone to forgetting passwords. rar is the least useful option in that case [07:59] argh [07:59] how can i make xchat remember the window size === DavidePalm is now known as Davide^sleeping === jonathan__ is now known as Neremor [08:00] hello! [08:01]  Neremor: hi [08:01] <_Brun0_> mopoyo, just tested and xchat auto rememebrs window pos.. mine is axmized anyway. [08:01] ManateeLazyCat: it works for everyone else, run: dbus-monitor --profile 'interface=org.freedesktop.Notifications' [08:02] ManateeLazyCat: you should see a line printed when you use notify-send message in another terminal [08:02] I'm searching for an application to manage my music library. I don't need a media player, for that I'm using songbird. What i need is an application that automatically sorts my music for artists, albums, tracks and singles with a pattern given by me... Something like itunes does... Does anyone know something like this? Thank you in advance :) [08:02] thanks, [08:02] Neremor, I've had good luck with cowbell [08:03] whats going on in this channel?? [08:03] !ubuntu | a81u64_usr [08:03] a81u64_usr: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [08:04] anyone has a clue how to disable ipv6 support in 9.04? [08:04] i've tried the wiki, but it's not working [08:04] Installed on(in) linux = open source software ? [08:04] it looks nive, i will give it a try, g4lt-lappy! [08:04] crdlb: Still nothing, i don't know why. I create a new user fot test, to check whether some configre break it. [08:05] clarence: what? [08:05] ManateeLazyCat: nothing was printed in the dbus-monitor terminal? [08:06] slashdotfx, should just be some ifconfig magic, I think the v6 stack is builtin to the kernel though, so dumping the stack will be problematic [08:06] clearscreen: installed on linux software must be open source ? [08:06] Hi. I have a thinkpad x61 with ubuntu intrepid on it. I also have an internal bluetooth adapter which is attached over the USB bus. However, using "lsusb" it does not show up anymore which is also the reason why I can't use bluetooth at the moment. Does anyone else have a problem like that ? [08:06] sweet! is this a support channel? [08:06] clarence: not neccessarily, although most software on linux -is- open source [08:07] One thing about ubuntu... If you want to reinstall a program you have to redownload it!... Why can't I just save it somewhere and reinstall?

[08:08] ManateeLazyCat: it's --profile, not mprofile [08:08] mopoyo: you can save a .deb file perfectly fine, also, aptitude stores downloaded packages in a cache... can you be more specific? [08:08] will be thorugh most of this month [08:08] morning [08:08] clearscreen, for example i just installed vlc... and i have to reinstall all these packages........ [08:08] altogether it's around 75MB [08:09] clearscreen: because lots of people think installed software are open source, so install software must be open source [08:09] I'm fumbling in the dark here...but here goes anyway [08:09] clearscreen, I'm not going to save every .deb file... [08:09] I d/loaded a codec package of sorts [08:09] clarence: no clue what you're saying... most software is indeed open-source, but it is entirely possibled to install closed-source software [08:09] essential-20071007.tar.bz2 [08:10] i gzipped it [08:10] mopoyo, I don't mean to ask a stupid question but why do you need vlc to begin with? If you feel it's too much work you could probably just use totem. [08:10] can anyone help me mount floppy ? [08:10] pretty please? [08:10] crdlb: I create a new user, and test then "notify-send" can work, looks have some configre file make it break. [08:10] shubuntu_, with an extensionof .bz2, no, you didn't gzip it, you bzipped it [08:10] shux ^^^^^ [08:11] vlc shows a dvd that Ubuntu 8.10 failed to recognize previously [08:11] mopoyo: apt stores previously downloaded packages in cache [08:11] but now when I click to play it returns to the desktop? === rashire2 is now known as rashire [08:11] crdlb: Sorry for noise, i will check my HOME directory to find where the problem. [08:11] how can i be sure its not a hardware fault, if its not in the file system? [08:11] what is a .bundle file? I want to download and install VMware Player and there is no .tar.gz download, just rpm and .bundle [08:11] mopoyo: and really.. how often do you reinstall software? what is the point? [08:12] BiosElement, totem asks me to install codecs [08:12] shux if it's a video DVD, of course. video DVDs, like audio CDs, don' mount [08:12] tsLight: you can just execute it with sh [08:12] clearscreen, ok [08:12] clearscreen, where is this cache? [08:12] tsLight: chmod +x filename.bundle && sh filename.bundle [08:13] hm cowbell seems to have a bit less features like i expected... do you know any others? [08:13] mopoyo: /var/cache/apt afaik [08:13] do you upgrade ubuntu by update manager? [08:13] ./var/cache/apt/archives [08:13] clearscreen, yeah I knew that :P I just wanted to know what .bundle file is [08:13] how long does it get stored there? [08:14] not entirely sure, you'd have to look that up [08:14] clarence: you can, but there are several ways to upgrade :) [08:14] But nothing showed b4...now it does! pure luck on my part I know...but now that I have a gui on the dvd..the program (vlc) closes when I choose the "Play" option...any ideas? [08:14] any know how 2 know pc mac address in terminal [08:15] purvesh: ifconfig [08:15] is there a way to upgrade from Ubuntu 32 bits to 64 bits without reinstalling everything (or without losing settings and installed applications)? sort of "dist-upgrade" :P [08:16] tsLight: is probably possible, but highly discouraged [08:16] ciao [08:16] clearscreen: at last time, I was using ubuntu when it upgrade, at last it was upgrade failed, what happen? [08:16] !list [08:16] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [08:16] clarence: no way to tell without a specific error message [08:16] tsLight, I'd recommend you just do a re-install. Backup your /home/username folder and you shouldn't lose many/any of your configs. [08:17] 人？？ [08:17] ／／／／ [08:18] ok [08:18] I cp'd from /media/cdrom0 2 my home folder and and chmod'd with u+x in the shell and now the DVD is mysteriously showing up...but exits whenever I try to play it??? [08:18] can anyone tell my why mount point does not exist? [08:19] hi all, I have just created a new ext4 partition, added it to my /etc/fstab and mounted it, but it seems to be writable only by root. What do I need to do in order to have it writable by anyone who uses the system? I have an NTFS partition which allows any user on the system to read/write to it [08:19] and_: because you havent created it? lol [08:19] and_ : they're not added [08:19] I need some codec detective program from the repos...please help [08:19] What's an easy way to extract a given directory out of a huge tar file? [08:19] like say the /var/games directory [08:19] that is inside the tar [08:20] tarball [08:20] how can I force xorg to use 1280x800@70 ... so far it only uses 1280x800@60 [08:21] Hey guys..like 4 weeks ago I knew squat...I'm trying my beat to tesearch...thx:) [08:21] I still suck at typing and spellin lol [08:21] SoS11: 60Hz is perfectly normal with an LCD [08:21] is there any way to sort the updates? [08:22] BonezAU: have you tried the or users option in fstab? [08:22] clearscreen, is there any way to sort the ubuntu upgrades? [08:22] ninadsp, no... but my ntfs-3g partition does not use them either, it just has defaults 0 0 [08:22] any know how 2 connect wireless connection [08:22] mopoyo: what? [08:22] clearscreen, is there any way to sort the ubuntu upgrades? === kyle__ is now known as kiji === kiji is now known as t0ne [08:23] BonezAU: defaults includes user if i am remember correctly... i guess you have tried to remount it? [08:23] with sudo? [08:23] crdlb, I have some minor problems with a game if I use SyncToVblank...I think that refresh rate could be a problem === t0ne is now known as _kyle_ [08:23] ninadsp, yeah I've tried to remount it. should I try rebooting and see what happens? [08:23] BonezAU: hey... defaults doesnt include user [08:24] clearscreen, it says "There are 287 updates available" so I click on the arrow and it opens the update manager... I want to sort it by size! [08:24] BonezAU: check man mount [08:24] ok ill check it out [08:24] thanks [08:24] hope it helps... :) [08:24] mopoyo: are you on 56K or something? [08:25] clearscreen, I'm on 24mpbs :) [08:25] I'll hit some forums and get back to you later with some ideas....goodnight folks :) [08:25] hola a todos [08:25] mopoyo: I don't see the problem then, upgrading is good.. and with that connection you'll have anything in less than 5 min :P [08:26] quiero borrar el disco [08:26] <_kyle_> hey guys....im trying to upgrade (sudo apt-get upgrade)but two programs are being held back...i have tried "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and nothing [08:26] !es | kieroXP_ayuda [08:26] kieroXP_ayuda: 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. [08:26] :O [08:26] how can i force a drive to automatically mount on boot? [08:26] _kyle_ you can try with synaptic... that will tell you about the conflicts... you might have to manually sort them out [08:26] <_kyle_> ok [08:27] <_kyle_> thanks ninadsp [08:27] mattygyver83: does the fstab incluse the auto or defaults option for that drive? [08:27] mattgyver83: you have to put an entry to /etc/fstab ... if it is an NTFS drive, apt-get the ntfs-config tool, make4s it very easy [08:27] _kyle_ np! :) [08:27] hmw, its an ext2 ';( [08:27] Wht up? [08:28] clearscreen: do u know how 2 know ssid or bssid. [08:28] <_kyle_> i cant wait for ubuntu 9.04 [08:28] mattgyver83: still no problem. find a howto, google for something like "automount ubuntu". shouldnt be too hard. [08:28] Did new ubuntu just fixed nvidia problem? [08:28] mattygyver83: then check the /etc/fstab entry for that drive... :) if it does not have teh defaults option, you can add that or the auto option [08:29] purvesh: if you mean the bssid/essid you are currently associated with (wireless), then you can use 'iwconfig' :) [08:29] mattgyver83: do check man mount and man fstab [08:29] clearscreen: to connect wireless connection go gear [08:29] i mean that fstab thingy isnt too hard. You can of course read the man page and think on your own *g* [08:29] clearscreen: thanks [08:29] hmw: i agree :) [08:29] purvesh: you can also use 'iwconfig' to set essid/bssid, but it's much easier to do it through gnome network tools [08:30] ninadsp: i actially found a man page with EXAMPLES. Miracles happen! [08:30] clearscreen, the problem is i'm on a cap [08:30] what's better between ext4 and btrfs?

So I changed all files in /home/baz to 770, then changed the permissions of the share folders so that "adriana" was the group... my question is why is adriana not able to access the folders she was given perm to? [08:33] hmw: meh, why so fast [08:33] !Joomla [08:33] joomla information can be had here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Joomla [08:35] baz: maybe perms on the dir itself?

[08:47] mopoyo: google [08:47] _fynn: use AcetoneISO [08:48] i hate it when people just say google [08:48] it's so stupid [08:48] whats stupid is not using it [08:48] sure but not everything can be just solved by saying "google" [08:48] they only say that when the information is readily and easily attainable by simply googling, like in your case "ubuntu install invidia" [08:48] Ctrl+S [08:48] not everyone is good at using google [08:49] i am installing ubuntu on a computer with older hardware. that computer has a not so large hard drive, 20gb. i want it to have a seperate /home partition as well as a / and swap. since its there isn't much space, what size should / and /home be ? [08:49] nztal, that really depends on your configuration [08:49] how much will you put in /home ? [08:49] nztal: it depends on your need [08:50] older computer, you should use xubuntu [08:50] dam now my 8 series is now at the bottom :(!!!!! [08:50] what is the smallest i can get by with the / partition ? without running out of space [08:50] there's a 200 series now~!!! and it looks so cool [08:50] mopoyo: ok [08:50] does anyone know if it's possible for root to log a user out, say, over an SSH connection? [08:50] could anyone give me an estimate of how much faster the 200 series is compared to my 8800 ? [08:51] mopoyo: Unless you have XP/Vista/7 for gaming, what use is an amazingly overpowered card, if you don't mind my asking? [08:51] Surlent777: if nothing else works, you can try a restart of sshd... there has to be a better way though...

Just the name? [08:52] nztal, / shouldnt be smaller than 5 gb [08:52] Surlent777: there is a package that allows for a time out of sessions...

[08:53] dont remember the name though.... search in synaptic [08:53] i usually dont quesiton automagic functionality [08:53] titty sprinkles [08:53] ninadsp: I'm actually trying to do it because I suspect that on my 8.04 laptop, pulseaudio might somehow be affecting my ability to scare my brother with festival (can't open /dev/dsp) [08:53] "you appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing" -- how do I exit X?

[09:00] so i had to reboot [09:00] so don't worry about it...remember it and use it to scare someone else =) [09:01] what scare? It's a useful command [09:01] umm... it's not off [09:01] mopoyo: and you should never type stuff into your computer that you don't understand beforehand what it will do [09:01] mopoyo: what problem do you have, what are you trying to do? [09:01] I'm trying to stop X [09:02] kandinski: Everything unexpected is scary to a novice =P It's part of the thrill of learning an OS of this complexity [09:02] Surlent777: thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I didn't realize it was Metacity ... googling with that found the key (gconf key, to be exact). :) I appreciate your help. [09:02] jeezmos: wait wait what [09:02] jeezmos: you CAN turn that off? [09:02] Surlent777, how do i close X [09:02] mopoyo: "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" stops x [09:03] mopoyo: What do you need to do that for, exactly? What are you trying to do? [09:03] you will be asked for your user's password [09:03] kandinski, yeh but then i get a black screen.. I type commands, press enter and nothing happens [09:03] kandinski, it never asked me for my password [09:03] then type alt+ctrl+f1 to go to the first tty [09:03] Surlent777: yes, just did with success. search for keys "reduced_resources" and desktop > gnome > interface > "enable animations" [09:03] mopoyo: are you on the livedistro? Were you logged in as root? [09:04] jeezmos: ohhhhhh ok. I was going to suggest the former, but thought against it. I forgot about the latter key [09:04] in any case, ctrl-alt-f1 takes you to a tty [09:04] you can log in there into a command line interface [09:04] wow [09:04] why don't they write that on the screen or something [09:05] it didnt work :( [09:05] i was just typing in commands and nothing happened [09:05] well [09:05] am gone [09:05] mopoyo: and you didn't notice there's nowhere to type commands? [09:05] kandinski: On an unrelated note, would the tty normally be 800x600, or what? Without the framebuffer turned on, I mean...I use 8x6 when that's on, this is just for the sake of curiosity/completeness [09:05] ANYWAY [09:06] how can i send a file from my computer to another computer that is connected through a router [09:06] Surlent777: fuck me if I know! I am a newbie myself. Just trying to be helpful to those less clued in... [09:06] mopoyo: I did that by setting up SSH [09:06] kandinski: k, just checking [09:06] Surlent777, do both computers need to be running ubuntu? [09:06] mopoyo: no, you can use puTTY on Windows [09:07] -.- [09:07] Is there still not any Skype plug in for Pidgin which can activate Skype account without running Skype at same time? [09:07] mopoyo: as they say, just google it. You need to have ssh-server or something close to that installed on any ubuntu computers, though, I think [09:07] guja: No - and I don't think it's possible to write one. [09:08] grawity, thanks for the answer. [09:08] guja: Skype authors tried really hard to prevent anyone from writing compatible software :( [09:08] mopoyo: And then there's something about public keys that I don't quite get =( I personally just set up my firewalls to allow only each other on port 22 and deny all others. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that [09:08] Loosers :-/ [09:08] but on windows you can just create a network and then send stuff to each other [09:08] mopoyo: Oh, and if your router'd computers are using Windows and have their network crap set up right, you should be able to use Samba inside of Nautilus to access them [09:08] omg windows can be so much better sometimes :< [09:09] mopoyo: see above [09:09] mopoyo: It should just be able to pick them up under their usual name, such as WORKGROUP or MYHOME or whatever you call it [09:09] I want to send a file from this computer (ubuntu) to another one (windows) [09:09] mopoyo: Again, see above there [09:10] lol got it [09:10] thx Surlent777 [09:10] mopoyo: install ssd on the ubuntu one [09:10] mopoyo: no problem [09:10] install winscp on the windows one [09:11] nvm kandinski i got it [09:11] i didn't even have to install anything [09:11] on the windows one, using winscp, open the ubuntu computer's IP [09:11] browse, etc [09:11] oh, you are 1337 [09:13] So, if your computer is working fine, and then upon reboot randomly goes OH HEY GUYS MY HARD DRIVE IS GONNA WIG OUT ON YOU, LOG YOU IN AS ROOT, AND MAKE YOU RUN FSCK AND PRESS Y A LOT, is that necessarily a sign of a faulty hard drive, or is it likely to be a random glitch? [09:13] clearscreen: i tried iwconfig but this error come " no wireless extensions" [09:14] Surlent777, depends on the frequency [09:14] g4lt-lappy: So far, just once [09:14] once, it's just a glitch, a few times a year, still a glitch, a few times a week, you might wnat to look into gettin a new disk [09:14] g4lt-lappy: OK, that's about what I figured, thanks [09:15] does someone know what virtualbox version does the ubuntu 9.04 include?

[09:26] Hi, does anyone here know how to get a wallpaper that shows the current "sunlight" over the earth? I haven't been able to find anything. [09:27] mopoyo, terminal commands are not ubuntu specific, you can use them on any linux distribution, so the right question you want to learn BASH, go to google and type bash commands [09:27] Mhh... how do I make the microphone work (-: [09:27] what does bash mean? [09:28] mopoyo, wikipedia.org and type bash [09:28] rude [09:29] mopoyo, no, look, i would have to quote you result from wikipedi, why should i do it if you can yourself, we are here to guide you to not go far from answer [09:29] someone knows why this happens on hardy? python-pgsql: Depends: python-egenix-mxdatetime (>= 1.3.0-5) but it is not installable [09:29] mopoyo, Bash is a free software Unix shell written for the GNU Project. Its name is an acronym which stands for Bourne-again shell.[1] [09:29] So ehm I'd like to record some stuff, but the microhpone which is connected doesn't seem to work - since there's no sound when I recird - nor the level bar "moves" [09:29] how 2 configure wireless connection hav 2 set ssid or bssid at ubuntu. [09:30] ok sorry aldin [09:30] XChat - i need for Connecting my Server another user than the Linux-User actually logged in. Does anybody know how to tell xchat the user for Connecting to the new Server i created? === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [09:31] any 1 know how 2 configure wireless connection hav 2 set ssid or bssid at ubuntu. [09:32] mopoyo, np, key for success is to know how to find answers, and not go round the globe for it, best sources for FAQs are google and wikipedia, you can ask them all, and if you have something specific you can ask here, why should we google it for you, right? [09:32] mopoyo, no hard feelings sorry if i was a bit "tough" [09:33] yo [09:33] whats up guys [09:34] mater: yo whats up [09:34] reid: any 1 know how 2 configure wireless connection hav 2 set ssid or bssid at ubuntu. [09:34] purvesh_: well, what do you mean [09:35] purvesh_: within GUI? [09:35] my wireless connects only with 1MB/sec in Ubuntu in Windows I got full 54, anyone can tell me why? [09:35] gnome [09:35] purvesh_: nm-applet should be able to take care of that [09:35] reid: what command i hav type at terminal for ssid or bssid [09:35] TechHead: nm-applet says that I am only connected at 1 MB/s as well, however im getting much higher speeds [09:36] problem with installing ubuntu jaunty via pen drive on my hard drive. I installed it with unetbootin on my pen drive and I manage to boot it to the installer. but when in installer it says it "cannot mount the installation CD". what goes wrong? [09:36] reid: for wireless connection [09:36] TechHead: you will never reach a whole 54, windows is lying [09:36] aldin, you are very smart [09:36] ahhh, kk, so never trust a reading, better test yourself ;D [09:36] TechHead, it doesn't matter that much does it [09:36] TechHead: correct, nm-applet is very often wrong [09:36] try with iwconfig and see what it says [09:36] hi [09:36] hi [09:36] other than that, it usually settles after a while if you have weak signal [09:36] reid: pls help me i'm new at ubuntu linux [09:37] purvesh_: as for wireless connection, you shouldn't have to manually configure bssid or ssid [09:37] so it climbs from 6 to 11 to 18 to 24 mbps [09:37] leaphion, jaunty -> #ubuntu+1 [09:37] well I am sitting right next to the WLAN router [09:37] reid: but how [09:37] signal should not degrade that much [09:37] purvesh_: it should be easily configured through the gnome wireless, nm-applet. it should appear in your bar on the top right of gnome [09:37] TechHead, it could be oversteered. [09:37] any one can help me to how setup sound card in my ubuntu plz [09:37] TechHead, but yes, it should "just work" [09:37] mopoyo, thanks, btw. you are very wise [09:37] TechHead, see with "iwconfig" [09:38] trying as we speak [09:38] woop got the mic to work now how do I increase its level [09:38] snake98: it's not autodetected? [09:38] reid: i tried but there i hav 2 fill bssid or ssid or mac address [09:38] TechHead: try torrenting something, if it is acceptable speeds than you are most likely fine [09:38] iwconfig actually reports the same [09:38] yes sectospas [09:38] TechHead, ideal 802.11b/g signal is ~-60dBm [09:38] sec [09:38] TechHead, what type of card? [09:38] purvesh_: do you know what card? [09:38] Downing, see the little speaker in the upper right corner of your display? right-click, open volume control, you get the full mixer with mic level settings [09:38] Link Quality=40/100 Signal level:-69 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm [09:39] ceative [09:39] snake98: normally there's no "setup" involved then, "it... just... works..." [09:39] reid: which card [09:39] tha [09:39] purvesh_: do you know what wireless card your computer has in it [09:39] im new user for ubuntu ectospas [09:39] XChat - i need for Connecting my Server another user than the Linux-User actually logged in. Does anybody know how to tell xchat the user for Connecting to the new Server i created? [09:39] why does music sound better on ubuntu than windows [09:39] snake98: have you checked your mixer settings? [09:39] purvesh_: and are you connected via wireless atm? or a wired connection [09:39] yes i do but its not working with me [09:39] reid: i dont how 2 know what wifi [09:40] TechHead, if it's relatively new, you can encounter issues with the card since it might not supply proper info. [09:40] imachine: 08:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) [09:40] TechHead, ath9k ? [09:40] snake98: are you getting any error messages? Or is sound just not playing? [09:40] reid: i hav 2 connect go gear router [09:40] the laptop is rather new, yes [09:40] TechHead, did you install linux-backports-modules ? [09:40] why does music sound better on ubuntu than windows [09:40] TechHead, it features newer ath drivers, amongst other things. [09:40] might want to try that [09:41] mopoyo: you should probably take that question to #ubuntu-offtopic, since it's not a support question. [09:41] mopoyo: its psychosomatic [09:41] lol, imachine I am a total Linux beginner I installed Ubuntu 8.10 and just made all updates that's about it [09:41] mopoyo: it probably doesn't sound better =P [09:41] yes thats right ectospasm its creative audigy 2 ZS [09:41] snake98: what's right? [09:41] TechHead, type in the terminal 'sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid' [09:41] can you tell me how to do step by step [09:42] TechHead, and pass your password. [09:42] Xorg crashes whenever i boot ubuntu. Any solutions> [09:42] TechHead, it should install newer drivers for your card, amongst other things. [09:42] imachine: gonna give it a shot [09:42] hey. do I need cron if I have anacron installed? or do they do different things? [09:42] nice [09:42] brb [09:42] i said its sound just not playing [09:42] snake98: there should be a speaker icon in your system tray, right-click on it and select mixer settings, or whatever it's called. [09:42] reid, it really does sound better [09:42] Nitrox22: what graphics card are you using? [09:42] hi [09:42] reid, I am using ubuntu in virtualbox [09:43] TechHead, tho, if it works as it does now, I don't think it's that big a deal. [09:43] TechHead: what command i hav type at terminal for ssid or bssid for wireless wifi connection at ubuntu [09:43] TechHead, don't come back if it breaks your system ;P [09:43] hhahahaha [09:43] purvesh_, use networkmanager. [09:43] I already d/l the stuff [09:43] I search a graphical tool to manage qos rule on ubuntu [09:43] Nitrox22: im not familiar with virtualbox, it is a virtual machine? [09:43] imachine: kk, done, what now? [09:43] reid, yes [09:43] Nitrox22: what OS are you running the VM from? [09:43] TechHead, type modinfo ath9k [09:44] reid, Windows XP Pro SP3 [09:44] imachine: i tried but they want bssid or ssid or mac address [09:44] TechHead, if you find info about nohwcrypt [09:44] TechHead, then you have the new drivers. [09:44] can anyone suggest a good translating tool for ubuntu( freespeak doesn't work) [09:44] TechHead, just need to reboot then and you'll use the newer ones. [09:44] TechHead, if you encounter problems like being unable toconnect to wifi, [09:44] Nitrox22: well, personally I would do it the other way around. Windows does not like linux very much [09:44] I'm giving /home it's own partition, how much room should I allot / asuming I have 150 GB to work with? [09:44] lol, so see you in a minute hopefully imachine [09:45] TechHead, just remove those drivers by typing: 'sudo apt-get purge linux-backports-modules-intrepid' [09:45] imachine: if u know then pls help me [09:45] thx for the tip [09:45] stiev3: root should never need more than 10G [09:45] stiev3: it depends on how you handle /usr/bin [09:45] TechHead, it could be a bit more than just that package, like linux-backports-modules-yourkernelversion' [09:45] stiev3: if you put full programs into /usr/bin you will need more space allocated to root [09:45] reid, But my Ubuntu 8.10 was working fine. But the problem is with 9.04. I submitted my error report so it would help the developers [09:45] TechHead, you can just type in apt-get purge linux-backports-modules-[press TAB here] and it will autocomplete the package name [09:46] TechHead, but it should work okay! [09:46] Nitrox22: jaunty is still very much in beta stage. it uses x.org 1.6 [09:46] hello all [09:46] Nitrox22: I would suggest trying to VM intrepid instead [09:46] kk, rebooting [09:46] purvesh_, I don't understan [09:46] see you soon .... I hope :) [09:46] purvesh_, you need MAC of BSSID ? [09:46] purvesh_, you're connecting to a hidden-ssid network correct? [09:46] imachine: what i tried via applet at upper right side [09:47] reid, I use that too. But i want to test the 9.04 and if i encounter bugs is it enought that i submit through the crash report? [09:47] da jia hao [09:47] Nitrox22: is your graphics card ATI or nvidia [09:47] any one can tell me , how to use fcrackzip? [09:47] 大家好，，哈哈 [09:47] imachine: i want 2 connect internet at laptop wifi [09:48] purvesh_, yes [09:48] Nitrox22: ATI does not support x.org 1.6 currently, that is why im asking [09:48] purvesh_, go on [09:48] Nitrox22: the support should come within the next 2 weeks, but you never know with ATI [09:48] reid, My host machin has ATI Radeon X600 video card [09:48] i always get message said : " No such file or directory" ? [09:48] Nitrox22: that is most likely why you are crashing [09:48] imachine: in ubuntu at there i hav 2 fill bssid ssid or mac adderess [09:49] yes [09:49] Nitrox22: that card is definitely not supported by x.org 1.6 currently [09:49] my file is at my desktop [09:49] hi! [09:49] purvesh_, how else do you plan on connecting to a wireless network ? [09:49] Nitrox22: 8.10 is the only way you will be able to run ubuntu properly [09:49] reid, ah. will i get support for ATI when it is released? [09:50] okay somebody help me fix this apt error before i kill myself [09:50] imachine: bcz i hav wifi at laptop or i hav 2 connect via router [09:50] trying to install jaunty over top of 8.10 with update-manager -d [09:50] blocky: Lets not over dramatise [09:50] every time it fails on hash sum mismatch [09:50] any one can tell me , how to use fcrackzip? i always get message said : " No such file or directory" ? my file is at my desktop. [09:51] purvesh_, 1) speak english [09:51] i know its not the mirror as ive tried several, and i know its not my isp proxy because my other PC right beside just performed the same update just fine [09:51] imachine: what [09:51] imachine: I am back, sofar so good ;) [09:51] purvesh_, 2) make it clear for other people what you exactly want to do [09:51] TechHead, cheers ;) does it still say 1mbps? :P [09:51] tomcyl→ did you type "cd Desktop" first? [09:51] what I don't get is why the error says canonical.com even when i change the mirror [09:51] 54 ;) [09:51] if it does, you'll just have to wait till next kernel or wireless update ;) [09:51] TechHead, so mission accomplished I reckon? :) [09:51] let me try [09:51] imachine: ya what mistake done from me [09:52] http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/partner/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch [09:52] imachine: very much m8, thx a lot [09:52] anyone experienced this with upgrading? [09:52] TechHead, the new driver also supports hardware offloading of WPA/WPA2 if I remember correctly [09:52] TechHead, so it's all for the better. [09:52] TechHead, cheers [09:52] blocky, jaunty is discussed in #ubuntu+1 [09:52] hehe, I got many more questions [09:52] oh [09:52] ty [09:52] Nitrox22: sry i was afk [09:52] Nitrox22: what was your question? [09:53] TechHead, that's what this channel's for, mostly [09:53] Nitrox22: oh ok.. yeah its possible, but ATI has been a little shifty on their driver releasees [09:53] imachine: so how do i know my laptop "ssid" what i have 2 type in terminal 2 know my "bssid" or "ssid" now perfect [09:53] Nitrox22: I would not expect too much, but they have stated that they aim for x.org 1.6 support with their catalyst 9.4 release [09:53] hey guys [09:54] hello [09:54] purvesh_, nearly good, tho at least I understand you now. when you click the icon on the top panel in Ubuntu's default setup, a list of available networks rolls down. [09:54] i wanna fix my problem [09:54] purvesh_, you just click one of those, and that's the SSID. it connects automatically [09:55] purvesh_, SSID=network name. [09:55] well my screen screwed up i dont know why [09:55] iam using ubuntu 8.10 [09:55] in an hp laptop [09:55] anyone could help me please ??? [09:55] Phobos, define 'screwed up' [09:56] my screen sparkles [09:56] great. [09:56] lol [09:56] sounds magicall [09:56] :) [09:56] anybody familiar with the hash sum mismatch issue? [09:56] reid, Thanks [09:56] Phobos, any better way to describe this unusual behaviour? [09:56] imachine: now to some serious stuff ... well not serious but rather important to me [09:56] Nitrox22: np, you have any other questions? [09:56] TechHead, shoot [09:56] I play Enemy Territory a lot [09:57] TechHead, it should work without problems. [09:57] it does not perfom at all on VISTA so I installed Ubuntu [09:57] TechHead, you can try getdeb.net [09:57] so far so good [09:57] BUT [09:57] I got strange input lags [09:57] reid, Not now. May be later if i have any problems can i ask in this channel? [09:57] TechHead, there's ready made installers and other stuff available on that page for Ubuntu. [09:57] TechHead: yeah getdeb is better, cuz manually you'll have to things manually to have sound [09:57] hmm [09:57] TechHead, dunno about that :-) [09:57] kk [09:57] imachine: so i hav 2 blank that "ssid bssid" collum it will connect & what about "dhcp client id" [09:57] Nitrox22: feel free to email me, reidnabinger@yahoo.com [09:57] noone does ;D [09:57] and actually it is not vital at all [09:57] TechHead: basically you will have to execute a command to have sound [09:58] Nitrox22: but other than that, alot of good people idle in this channel, and have good advice to give [09:58] TechHead, it could be sound related tho. lags in general. [09:58] yes the echo cmd which enables OSS [09:58] TechHead, had that on other games. [09:58] it could be OSS that causes the hiccups. [09:58] try disabling it and see if it fixes your problem. [09:58] so maybe I should try it w.o. sound then ? [09:58] , thanks [09:58] OSS is not grand. [09:59] tomcyl→ cheers [09:59] I know, but ALSA or pulse just don't work with ET [09:59] reid, Great. I am newbie to linux just have 6 months of experience. [09:59] how do i learn about the terminal!??! [09:59] TechHead, I think there was some alsa-oss emulation or so, I used for savage. [09:59] !terminal | mopoyo [09:59] mopoyo: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [09:59] ohhh [09:59] TechHead, no idea of it's state in Ubuntu tho :-) [09:59] when iam watchin some movies with mplayer or totem my screen sparkles [09:59] Nitrox22: np, this is a great place to ask questions, but any ATI or Atheros wireless questions, feel free to e-mail me [09:59] i dont know why [09:59] imachine: wait im comming in 2 minutes [10:00] magnetron, i mean more than the basics [10:00] it is hard in general to get all components in a laptop to work properly [10:00] i have the latest drivers installed [10:00] Nitrox22: I've spent many weeks toiling over ATi drivers and atheros drivers lol [10:00] TechHead: Amen [10:00] my video card is an ati radeon [10:00] TechHead, or whether it's what you need [10:00] for example the webcam runs perfect: sound is problematic [10:00] Phobos, sorry, I still don't understand what it means "sparkles". [10:00] reid, great. Any idea of when they release ATI Catalyst drivers for ubuntu? [10:00] Phobos, you'll have to be more clear on the subject. [10:01] Nitrox22: you can download drivers at AMD [10:01] Nitrox22: I would have to say it will be about a week [10:01] TechHead, webcam audio is often horrors, since some of them use audio over usb. === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [10:01] Nitrox22: 9.4 has been released for windows already [10:01] it sometimes works okay but sometimes causes headaches. [10:01] Nitrox22: ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run [10:01] Nitrox22: it normally takes AMD about a week to port them to linux [10:02] Nitrox22: 9.4 is the first driver to support x.org 1.6 though, so I wouldn't expect amazing results [10:02] this pkg gets you latest drivers of all ATI/AMD components in a comp like my laptop [10:02] Phobos, the last radeon card I had was 9200 or 9000. [10:02] Nitrox22: it should fix your problem though [10:02] reid, Can i install for my windows. I have ATI Radeon X600 [10:02] Phobos, and that worked with 'radeon' opensource driver. [10:02] Phobos, so I do not know :-) [10:02] Phobos, also, stop pm'ing me please. [10:02] Nitrox22: oh yeah, the ati drivers website should have the 9.4 drivers already for windows [10:02] Nitrox22: I don't know though, I haven't used windows in years [10:03] Phobos, this channel is made so that people can benefit from people helping other people.

[10:04] Phobos, also, don't tell me to use a translator for "sparkles". I know what it means. [10:04] Hey. Can anybody help me with remote connecting ? [10:04] no there is no #maths [10:04] mopoyo: hmm all cmds of the shell ... hard to explain I think [10:04] thats the first thing i would've tried imachine :P [10:04] Phobos, I just don't know how to put it to the situation you've described. [10:04] linux actually works all on cmd line [10:04] c_nick, ;-P [10:04] Nitrox22: lspci |grep radeon === mafsi is now known as mafsi`away [10:04] c_nick, xkcd.com? ;-) [10:04] Nitrox22: that *should* do it [10:04] there is a nice GUI like KDE or GNOME that help you work with the sys [10:04] ok iknow [10:04] Nitrox22: oh.. sry [10:04] c_nick, this channel is really for ubuntu-specific help. for general network help, there's #freenode [10:05] TechHead, just give me a try [10:05] ok [10:05] Nitrox22: fglrxinfo, if you are using proprietary [10:05] I have SSH Access on my friends PC, i Want to set up Remote xdmcp server on hist PC, so I could connect. Google shows me how to do it with graphical interface, I need to do it with terminal. How ? [10:05] Nitrox22: I know nothing about OSS drivers for ATI, they are pretty poor atm [10:05] I downloaded a nice book for Linux startes lemme have a look [10:05] Entherman, why do you ned an entire xdmcp session over ssh, you can forward individual X clients over ssh with ssh -X [10:05] The program 'fglrxinfo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [10:05] sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx [10:05] mopoyo: ubuntu pocket guide [10:06] i wanna describe properly my problem i can-t do that better tou kno [10:06] w [10:06] reid, The program 'fglrxinfo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [10:06] sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx [10:06] it should help you get some basic insight into Linux/Ubuntu [10:06] I'm trying to get Video Editing in UbuntuStudio 9.04 working for me. My current problem is that the WMV (or DV-AVI created by WMM) files I need to edit are encoded with 44.1k audio, and when they are imported into Ubuntu by Kino, they get imported as 48k audio, and so get out of sync. I can't see how to import them with correct audio. Any ideas where I need to look to fix this? [10:06] Nitrox22: that means that you are not currently using proprietary drivers [10:06] Nitrox22: sudo apt-get envyng-core [10:06] g4lt-lappy: What ? How ? [10:06] Nitrox22: then run "envyng -t" [10:06] TechHead, it's not necesarily all command line, i.e., it's not like every application is a wrapper for a command executed in a virtual terminal. [10:06] Nitrox22: choose install ATI drivers [10:07] imachine send me some questions to answer you properly [10:07] reid, check this - VGA compatible controller: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter [10:07] TechHead, some are but afaik, most interact with the system directly via syscalls and /proc & friends. [10:07] Phobos, well, firstly, explain what you mean by sparkles. [10:07] imachine: yes I know, but in the end when everything fails you need the cmd line to repair the sys [10:07] Entherman, in a X terminal type ssh -X user@host (you have to have x forwarding enabled in /etc/ssh/ssd_config, but I think it's default), then just type in the name of the X client you want to run [10:07] Phobos, dunno, make a summer project out of it if you will. record it on youtube [10:07] Nitrox22: not familiar, I would suggest apt-getting envyng-core though [10:07] anyone know of a dev channel for ubuntu on ps3? i wanna tell them what a good job they are doing. [10:07] i can't know [10:07] Nitrox22: and then running envyng -t [10:08] Phobos, it's your problem, I can help you fix it, but it's hard to help you think how to ask. [10:08] Nitrox22: installing the drivers, and then rebooting.. you can then run fglrxinfo [10:08] Linux is making great progress and this is actually the 1st time I got Linux running without a hassle, but windows is still MUCH more userfriendly [10:08] still I will stick to Linux as much as possible [10:08] TechHead, more or less yes, basically, you have a fully functional command line system at the same time as you get a graphical one. [10:08] at least regarding basic and less basic system maintenance. [10:08] so i just said that i cant watch properly my movies because the image "freeze" i can watch a few minutes and then the screen "freeze" or sparkles [10:08] imachine: this is why I try to make the move [10:08] TechHead, Ubuntu made great progress. [10:09] TechHead, I moved through command line first since my first "serious" linux box was a router/ssh shellbox. [10:09] btw, I have Ubuntu on my NTFS partition as a side by side installation [10:09] g4lt-lappy: WHat do I type for the x client ? like ssh -x entherman@lalala.com gnome ? [10:09] you know waht iam trying to say you [10:09] Windows is very user-friendly yes, but for those who have spent time learning the UNIX/Linux CLI, going back to windows is ridiculous [10:09] right now ??? [10:09] TechHead, while you have the right to your opinion on linux vs windows, we do too, and since you're in a linux distribution channel, you can guess what ours is [10:09] honestly I could NEVER return to windows [10:09] imachine ? [10:10] reid that is truth good [10:10] Eneloop, I'd not try a whole gnome session, but why not try something trivial like firefox? [10:10] reid, Installin ATI drivers [10:10] g4lt-lappy: don't get me wrong, I am chatting here with ppl to help me getting along with Linux [10:10] TechHead, ya, it's a nice hats of to the windows users. same as the possibility to import settings from a windows install. [10:10] * aprilhare had to return to windows (hopefully temporarily) [10:10] guess on what side I am :P [10:10] I have a 30g partition for my windows boot, and I use it specifically for directX [10:10] =P [10:10] burt out my gfx card :) [10:10] TechHead, it's all about choice. Luckily, you have it. [10:10] 30 gigs is NOTHIGN [10:10] :-) [10:10] sry, nothing [10:11] Nitrox22: with envy? [10:11] yep [10:11] Nitrox22: awesome [10:11] Phobos, screen as in entire screen or just the totem picture freezes? [10:11] reid, How do you remember these commands i am unable to [10:11] Phobos, have you tried disabling compiz? [10:11] just the totem picture freezes and mplayer and other video players [10:11] Nitrox22: envy is a script that (as far as I know is deprecated).. but used to install the most recent drivers [10:11] Phobos: who the hell uses totem anyway ? Use VLC [10:12] Has Jaunty's RC released? [10:12] Nitrox22: what commands? [10:12] Phobos, since when has that started to occur? [10:12] Entherman: AMEN! [10:12] luckily Ubuntu can read AND write NTFS ;D [10:12] TechHead: AMEN! lol [10:12] vlc too [10:12] it even support my dawicontrol raid controller [10:12] If I get this message "W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org jaunty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783" when trying to do apt-get update, what am I supposed to do to make that repository also update? [10:12] the screen freezes with vlc again [10:12] reid, commands for example to check the driver version, install ATI,Nvidia drivers, etc [10:13] TechHead: luckily my windows partition doesn't even know that I have a 300g hard drive.. it seriously thinks this laptop only has 30 gigs hahaha [10:13] since 3 days [10:13] loooool reid [10:13] Phobos: could be the RAM............. [10:13] (not VLC) [10:13] Phobos, 1) check your /var/log/dpkg.* for packages installed 3 days ago. [10:13] Phobos: What was the last thing you did, before it started to freeze ? [10:13] Phobos, 2) disable compiz for now [10:13] Nitrox22: envyng -t will install the ATI drivers, once they are installed fglrxinfo will give you the version [10:13] etho have 2giga ram [10:13] Nitrox22: currently, you are using OSS drivers [10:13] i dont think so [10:13] Phobos, 3) wait for newer drivers if 1) prooves it's the graphics drivers that caused the failure. [10:14] Nitrox22: they are of a completely different breed, and are most likely only geared for 2D rendering [10:14] i installed compiz manager [10:14] to get the cube [10:14] I'm 99% sure it's ati drivers not keeping up with some X.org changes. [10:14] reid, My ubuntu struck. it shows me a black screen after installing ATI drivers [10:14] Then that is your problem :) [10:14] Phobos: Uninstall compiz, reboot. [10:14] Phobos, turn it off completely [10:14] i will remove compiz ? [10:14] right now ? [10:14] Hm. When I add medibuntu repo and try to install skype under Jaunty amd64, it pulls me 32bit Skype when doing apt-get install skype. Why? [10:14] Nitrox22: installed through envy? [10:14] Phobos: you are missing my point. it does not matter how much ram your desktop has... more if it's working the way it should be. [10:14] Phobos: Yes. [10:14] reid, Yep [10:14] guja, there's no 64bit skype,afaik [10:14] Nitrox22: hmm, any way to restart the VM? [10:15] Nitrox22: I would like to see the version that fglrxinfo gives you [10:15] ok i will do that and i say you if that fix my problem [10:15] guja, it uses binary compatibility with 32bit apps on 64bit installs. [10:15] guja, thank skype.com [10:15] :-) [10:15] Idiots. [10:15] imachine, is it harmless to install all those 32bit libraries and run 32bit programs under amd64? [10:15] Nitrox22: I could compare it to my version, and if its much lower I would advise you to build the ATI drivers manually [10:15] guja, perfectly harmless. [10:15] reid, After reinstalling it asked to me to restart but when i restart it shows me a blank screen [10:16] guja, ubuntu automates the process anyway [10:16] imachine, thank you very much for answers. [10:16] guja, also, you can use a skype-static version. [10:16] Phobos: It will :) [10:16] guja, that has all the required libs built in so you don't need to pull many deps. [10:16] speaking of compiz, i got a cool idea for macbooks or whatever, if you can figure out how to get the accelerometer to actually show up as a button press in xkb, use the shaking of the laptop to generate a switch dekstop or whatever the compiz equivalent is [10:16] imachine, skype-static is? 32bit also? [10:16] yea methinks. [10:16] i hope entherman [10:16] Aham, it has dependencies inside. [10:16] Got it. [10:17] Nitrox22: hmm... there is no text from the even from the very beginning of the VM's boot? [10:17] imachine: hi [10:17] guja, cheers [10:17] imachine, *thumbsup* [10:17] Um. How to open System -> Administration -> Login Window from terminal ^_^ ? [10:17] reid, It shows me some text and then it shows me the login screen in terminal and then screen becomes blank [10:18] imachine: what should i do in dhcp id collum it will blank or what ? === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [10:18] I have a funny story for everyone, and to make it short, a cocky windows-fanboy friend of mine loaded up his linux kernel and told me he knows linux, and that linux sucks.. he proceeded to fsck his mounted drive [10:18] Any ideas ? [10:18] purvesh_, you're overdoing it. [10:18] needless to say, it destroyed GRUB [10:18] hi [10:18] and he couldn't boot [10:19] is there any US citizen here ? [10:19] imachine: what i didnt understand [10:19] purvesh_, most of what I said. reread it and come back if you still need more. [10:19] nameless`: .... I'm a US citizen lol [10:19] (perhaphs it if takes long enough I'll be gone by then) [10:19] imachine: ok [10:19] hey i tried to play youtube videos...but everytime i start it....mozilla crashes... what shud i do [10:19] ? [10:19] doh [10:20] reid, do you know a good US radio with good politic debate etc. ? [10:20] peacewise, reinstall flash [10:20] waks [10:20] Nitrox22: hmm... you are the one VMing from XP to 9.04? [10:20] one lill xchat q [10:20] * g4lt-lappy really doesn't see how his citizenship has anything at all to do with ubuntu [10:20] peacewise, sudo dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-nonfree [10:20] reid, yep [10:20] Any body got ideas how to open system -> -> login window from terminal ? [10:20] I need to auth with Q before I can enter a channel [10:20] entherman shoul i reboot my computer [10:20] now authing takes quite some time and xchat wants to join right away [10:20] irc_join_delay did not help [10:20] cause no fix it [10:20] Nitrox22: yeah man, like I said jaunty is still very much in development. as an ATI user, if you want to be able to even use Ubuntu you should use 8.10 [10:20] any clues? [10:20] Phobos: Yes. [10:21] i remove compiz [10:21] ok [10:21] TechHead, try #xchat maybe? :) [10:21] Nitrox22: sorry it broke, but it was never going to work properly in the first place [10:21] reid, thanks. I am going to reinstall ubuntu 9.04 [10:21] imachine: err, lol, thx [10:21] ;] [10:21] np [10:22] Nitrox22: np, I'm sorry I can't help you further, ATI just hasn't moved towards x.org 1.6 yet [10:23] Does anyone know if nvidia supports jaunty properly? [10:23] reid, works okay for my 7600go [10:23] reid, No probs thanks for letting me know the ATI problem [10:23] never ran linux with nvidia, I just have this feeling that they are more on the ball haha [10:24] Hey guys, I used to be able to quickly open a folder using the keyboard in Nautilus by typing the first few letters. How do I get that working again? It seems to have broke after I installed a Japanese IME. [10:24] imachine: ah ur running jaunty? [10:24] reid, on two machines, yes [10:24] (ibm x40, compal el80) [10:24] both ext4 [10:24] imachine: oh sweet, then I for SURE know that nvidia is ahead of the game hahah [10:24] smooth as a newborns arse. [10:24] :-) [10:25] imachine: ext4??? i hate you haha [10:25] yea [10:25] I even dared to fsck mounted / [10:25] imachine: you notice any benefits yet to ext4 FS? [10:25] it worked. [10:25] -,- [10:25] reid, yes. [10:25] imachine: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:25] reid, it's insanely fast, compared to ext3. [10:25] @FloodBot2: stfu [10:25] =P [10:26] reid, both for read, small file operations and large file operations like unpacking many rars. [10:26] imachine: I could imagine when you dpkg -i *.deb for a folder with like 50 debs [10:26] it would be faster as well [10:26] imachine: is it really 'insanely' fast? i was thinking MINOR speed increases :P [10:26] there was some minor setback with deleting files. [10:27] but it's fixed now methinks. [10:27] clearscreen, it's a good 5-10 seconds faster to boot. [10:27] clearscreen, and during certain operations it's many times faster. maybe it's placebo. [10:27] imachine: worth a shot I guess, im already running jaunty [10:27] well my lappy is already under 20 seconds boot [10:27] !ext4 [10:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 [10:27] clearscreen, I haven't calculated it. [10:27] !ext3 [10:27] ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [10:27] clearscreen, it's good to do it quick enough, since you need to rewrite everything if you migrate from ext3, in order to benefit from ext4. [10:27] !ReiserFS [10:27] reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html [10:28] reiser screwed me over many times. [10:28] !JFS [10:28] after removin compiz and rebootin the problem is still here [10:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about JFS [10:28] !xfs [10:28] xfs is a high-performance journaling filesystem originally developped by Silicon Graphics for their IRIX OS. It is now fully supported by Linux so you can install Ubuntu on it if you wish. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS [10:28] i relly dont know how to fix it [10:28] lol realy? [10:28] imachine: the reiser thing that is [10:28] reid, yes, back in the day [10:28] reid, it was more a linux problem [10:28] why thankyou reid [10:28] please help me [10:28] imachine: I heard that reiser frags much less though... but then again I have never had a frag problem with ext3 [10:29] mopoyo: what are you thanking me for? [10:29] reid, it was a problem regarding linux mounting dirty fs. [10:29] !ReiserFS [10:29] reid, which it shouldn't have done. [10:29] mopoyo: lol =P np [10:29] reid, fscking later caused data loss. [10:29] NOTE: by doing so, new files will be created in extents format, but this will not convert existing files. However, they can be transparently read by Ext4. [10:29] sigh.. [10:29] sorry not that.. i meant reid> !ext3 [10:30] imachine: yeah I stick to ext2 for boot, and ext3 for root/home, call me oldschool haha [10:30] reid, it's a good combo [10:30] !ext2 [10:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext2 [10:30] wtf? [10:30] I too use ext2 for boot if it's a separate /boot partition I use [10:30] reid, ZFS is something interesting too. [10:30] reid: control your language please [10:30] what do you mean you stick to ext2 for boot reid? [10:30] reid, the FreeBSD people were all hyped about it. [10:30] imachine: yeah I tend to partition /boot, /, and /home [10:30] i installled the flahsplayer-nonfree but still mozilla crashes when i m trying to watch any video on youtube [10:31] well, there is no reason to use a journaling FS for your boot partition [10:31] mopoyo, ext2 doesn't have a journal,so it's good for a small boot partition. [10:31] what shud i do? [10:31] peacewise: what version of ubuntu are you using ? [10:31] imachine, what's a journal? [10:31] I make /boot a 256mb ext2 partition [10:31] peacewise, is it jut youtube, or any flash page? [10:31] that I never touch, ever again [10:31] 8.04 [10:31] mopoyo, google [10:31] 32 bit [10:31] !google journal [10:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about google journal [10:31] !journaling [10:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about journaling [10:31] !journal [10:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about journal [10:31] wtf [10:31] reid: I won't ask you about your language again [10:32] ! [10:32] ikonia: ? =P [10:32] google videos rum fine ...its probably just the youtube ones [10:32] .g journal [10:32] reid: we know what "wtf" means - there is no need to use it [10:32] mopoyo, long story short, it's a way to keep info about your files in the fs. a journal of sorts. [10:32] ikonia, come on. it's a bloody abbreviation. [10:32] ikonia, it can mean whatever you want to. [10:32] what the fudge [10:32] imachine: it's this simple - don't use it [10:32] hi. [10:32] exactly [10:33] reid: stop it [10:33] you want me to type it out? [10:33] wow [10:33] Xorg problem: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d637a7cf1 [10:33] i installled the flahsplayer-nonfree but still mozilla crashes when i m trying to watch any video on youtube..google videos rum fine ...its probably just the youtube ones [10:33] calm down on the internet police ikonia.. [10:33] ikonia, you're overdoing the family friendly policy imho. [10:33] !wtf [10:33] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [10:33] no errors during the startup, but there's something wrong in the end. [10:33] ikonia: I have helped more people that you in the past few days, gtfo [10:33] just to make it clear - it's not "my" policy - [10:33] xorg.conf is here: [10:34] e i installled the flahsplayer-nonfree but still mozilla crashes when i m trying to watch any video on youtube..google videos rum fine ...its probably just the youtube ones...what shud i do [10:34] hi all :) does someone know how i can mount a nss volume from a netware 5 server without using the netware client only with ncpmount? volume sys works but even the nss volumes give me the error:No such file or directory [10:34] <|Dreams|> what programming languages do i have to or are best to learn to contribute with ubuntu/ [10:34] ikonia, and if you get pinged by some bot or so every time you hear 'wtf' you should reconcider fixing that bot [10:34] wow [10:34] imachine: how about stop using the phrase like you have been asked to [10:34] ikonia, also, that was totally uncalled for. reid's provided support for other people here. [10:34] SubSection "Display" [10:34] Modes "nvidia-auto-select" [10:34] EndSubSection [10:34] EndSection [10:34] imachine: it's that simple [10:34] sobersabre: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:34] hmm [10:34] sorry [10:34] cnt expect a kline :/ [10:34] ikonia, it's ridiculous tho :-) [10:34] ikonia? [10:34] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d44ac9d6b [10:35] where can I start looking if I have a sound when playing movies but not for stereo sound like flac or wav? [10:35] I know monitor's specs (virtrefresh, etc.) [10:35] imachine...? [10:35] yay for ipv6! [10:35] how do you make a partition just for boot? [10:35] The problem started after the upgrade to 180 v. of nvidia driver. [10:35] sobersabre, you could always go back. [10:36] i installled the flahsplayer-nonfree but still mozilla crashes when i m trying to watch any video on youtube..google videos rum fine ...its probably just the youtube ones...what shud i do?? [10:36] aprilhare: I didn't experience any problem like this, and I upgraded many machines to 180 driver. [10:36] peacewise: try other flash sites to get an idea if it is just 1 site, or more [10:36] I suspect there's some auto-detection related problem. [10:37] peacewise: and I assume you're just using standard firefox install provided by ubuntu [10:37] sobersabre, it could be the gfx card not playing nice [10:37] I wonder though if I could... overcome this one with your or other guys' help. [10:37] aprilhare: is it a common issue ? [10:37] yes @ikonia [10:37] ikonia, I still stand by what I said before, banning me was a ridiculous move here. [10:37] sobersabre, no idea, test and find out [10:37] what are the advantages of using ext2 for booting [10:37] then wwhich browser shud i install@ikonia [10:37] ? [10:38] is there any local repository for up2date ? [10:38] peacewise: firefox is fine, I suggest testing some other flash sites to get an idea of what's effected [10:38] Bhavesh2177: up2date is a redhat EL product [10:38] yes [10:38] what are the advantages of using ext2 for booting [10:40] can we create local repository like yum in up2date [10:40] mopoyo: probably nothing significant [10:40] in other words, who cares... [10:40] mopoyo: is 1 second faster boot worth the fiddling? [10:40] hi i was wondering if some1 can help me with installing ubuntu or kubuntu === Nitrox22 is now known as Nitrox22|Away [10:41] pmjdebruijn, nope [10:41] ikt poke [10:41] ikonia, why did you ban them? === blu_engie is now known as rodgrech [10:42] when i downloaded kubuntu and tried to install it i got this error saying i have a problem with 59 files but when i did the hash check there was no problem [10:42] jrq: did you try it on a dif. machine? also, did you try to burn another copy (I know the hash is OK, but just in case)? [10:43] i did burn another copy with a different software and speed [10:43] same problem [10:43] i didnt check another machine [10:43] i tried ubuntu on the the same machine [10:43] jrq: what was the exact error? [10:43] but this time i got an error saying that init wasnt found [10:44] and said i shud do a bootary [10:44] for kubuntu it gave me a bunch of files and said they were missing [10:45] jrq: and you sure the md5sum checked out? [10:45] ikonia, why did you ban them! [10:45] yea [10:45] mopoyo: thats not your concern at this time [10:45] it did for both of them [10:45] anybody here have experiance with ubuntu and touchscreens, specificly panasonic CF18 toughbooks [10:46] jrq: dunno, but I remember some people having motherboards which weren't supported by Ubuntu. They tried Suse and it was fine (since they make contracts with mb manufacturers). They had similar errors, I believe. Please do check whether your hardware is supported! [10:46] yes [10:46] what is suse? and how can i check if my motherboard is compatible ? [10:46] abby_: err I doubt that is an issue, and if there is jrq can always do acpi=off [10:46] jrq: Did you do check cd for defects? [10:46] yea i did [10:46] jrq: we really need exact error messages. [10:47] jrq: Yeah, did you try to turn off acpi? (btw, tnx ziroday) [10:47] jrq: okay, can you try burn an ubuntu alternate cd and try install with that please. [10:48] jrq: openSuse is another linux distribution. but don't give up on ubuntu yet! :) [10:48] jrq: making sure to check the md5sum after downloading and burning, checking cd for errors, doing a memtest and then running the install. If it errors out again write down the exact error message(s) [10:48] Hi (I'm a linux newbie), I'm running Ubuntu Server with Apache, and I want all folders within my /var/www/ folder to have a certain CHMOD when they are created, how do I go about this? [10:48] DizzyDoo: why? [10:48] how do i make an alternate cd? === A-beast is now known as klooni [10:49] so what are you doing ikonia ? [10:49] !alternate | jrq [10:49] !alternate | jrq [10:49] jrq: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [10:49] !ping me [10:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about ping me [10:49] magnetron: I win :D [10:49] ziroday→ you fiend :( [10:49] ZhouYu: yes we can see you, please test in #test [10:49] thanks ziroday [10:49] jrq: if you have any questions about using it feel free to come back and ask :) [10:50] ziroday: but I'm curious, how is this gonna help if he gets the alternate cd?

[10:50] i did not ask for it [10:50] yet that went on for 10 minutes [10:51] does anyone here know how old ikoni a is? [10:51] abby_: the alternate cd is less prone to failing due to unsupported hardware or anything similar. Its just another precaution [10:51] bonjour a tous [10:51] mopoyo: 121, now move along.

[10:54] jrq: sure you can, you can also use the kubuntu alternate cd if you would prefer [10:54] jrq: you need to download 600mb of kde packages first. [10:54] !terminal > mopoyo [10:54] mopoyo, please see my private message [10:54] !rute > mopoyo [10:55] um.. [10:55] bazhang: what does rute stand for? [10:55] so [10:56] mopoyo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=990636 [10:56] ziroday, not sure; /msg ubottu rute for details :) [10:57] abby_, I'm looking for a personal tutor [10:57] mopoyo: then this is not the place for you. [10:58] mopoyo: oh sorry, I can't deal with that, but take the link as a reference, can't harm [10:58] ziroday, I really need a dedicated tutor that will help me learn [10:58] is there a PS3 specific ubuntu channel? [10:58] mopoyo: http://www.ubuntu.com/training [10:58] #ubuntu-ps3 Baskt_Case [10:58] cool... thanks! [10:59] ewwies... 8ppl? [10:59] ouch [10:59] mopoyo: why would someone want to do that? [11:00] for money.. [11:00] clearscreen, i don't know..... maybe the ubuntu community is really nice? [11:00] Hi, Linux newbie running Apache on Ubuntu Server. When I visit my site, everything in the /var/www/ folder works fine, but items in subfolders have a 'Forbidden' error on them (when in browser). This is something to do with the folder permissions right? [11:00] mopoyo: nice, possibly... but i'm 100% sure they have something better to do with their time [11:00] clearscreen: Because sometimes ppl find it hard to learn on their own, especially if it's something very abstract or if you're not so much into, let's say computers [11:00] Is anyone willing to tutor me and spread their knowledge of ubuntu?! [11:00] DizzyDoo: yep, one sec [11:01] mopoyo: I have already given you a link. Nobody is willing to. [11:01] mopoyo: seriously, your best hope of something like that, is your local university, or community college [11:01] 40-80 bux for some classes could be worth alot more [11:01] u kno? [11:02] i kno the local CC here has computer science courses at night and on weekends too [11:02] abby_: that isn't the answer to my question ;) I understand perfectly fine why someone would want a personal tutor.. But why someone would spend his time tutoring a complete stranger in something that can quite easily be picked up upon solo ... well it boggles my mind [11:03] DizzyDoo: they have to be executable (the folders) [11:03] but perhaps this is a better conversation for #ubuntu-offtopic [11:03] DizzyDoo: so sudo chmod a+x /path/to/folder [11:03] clearscreen, you probably wouldn't understand what's it's like helping someone else ;) [11:04] clearscreen: to cut long story short: there might also be ppl who enjoy that! although it's a bit masochistic :> [11:04] mopoyo: why do you think I am in this channel? [11:04] clearscreen, it's not just about saying "google is your friend" [11:04] ziroday: the folders are currently at chmod 755 (executable for everything). The command seems to make no difference either [11:04] mopoyo: when have I ever done that? [11:04] clearscreen, I'm not sure [11:04] yeah, that's why I use debian, so I can always say things like: "Google is your friend ;)" [11:05] just a joke... [11:05] mopoyo: then why assume that I have? :) [11:05] DizzyDoo: err stick a hello.html file in that is a+rwx and see if it appears in the file listing [11:05] clearscreen, I'm saying other people in this channel do that [11:08] mopoyo: and I can see where they're coming from in most cases, this is a ubuntu support channel, not a library for linux-related questions that are answered in the first results on google [11:08] ziroday: Thanks for trying, I fixed it by reassigning the www-data apache group to own all the files within there (no idea why they weren't owned already) [11:08] DizzyDoo: ah, that would help :). Have fun [11:10] How can I mute my sound at boot in 8.10? [11:10] Or how to have alsamixer remember the last settings at boot? [11:11] fasta: you want to mute the bootup sound, or have the sound always muted? [11:12] ziroday: Just mute everything, until I run alsamixer or whatever application to unmute. [11:12] fasta: it should remember your settings, i.e. if you had it muted when shutting down it will mute when starting up [11:13] ziroday: I would not be asking this question if everything would be working as it should. [11:15] So compiz won't work with my computer now because my gfx card reached a "blacklist". However, its ok. I want to install e17. What I had in mind was using Gnome with e17 and using thunar instead of nautilus by default. Is this possible? [11:16] which version of ubuntu should i get? [11:17] Chowder: yep [11:17] 8.10 [11:17] 9.04 [11:17] imstnor, why 8.10 [11:17] Chowder: but what do you mean e17 with gnome? As in pick n' mix? [11:17] i read that all non-LTS versions aren't stable [11:17] mopoyo, 8.04 is the Long Term Service Release and is the most stable. 8.10 is a regular release and is still pretty stable. 9.04 is a beta. [11:17] Im running xubuntu on my pendrive [11:18] ziroday, I guess you could call it that [11:18] its stable [11:18] i'm on 8.10 [11:18] Chowder: well sure, that would be possible. [11:18] ziroday, either that or just get rid of all things gnome and use e17 exclusively [11:18] Chowder: that being easier :) [11:18] I installed OSS, removed it and sound no longer worked [11:18] no one could help fix it >.> [11:19] o [11:19] I see [11:19] ziroday, now that I think about it, I would like to just get rid of gnome all together [11:19] thing is that I installed a bunch of packages and the system got screwed [11:19] I still want to have the same login manager and all that, though [11:20] I figured it to be on account of the work load I put on the system [11:20] Chowder: heh, one sec [11:20] ziroday, ok [11:20] i fix my problem [11:20] Chowder: I presume the gnome apps as well? [11:21] i did gstreamer-properties in shell session [11:21] to which web application can i synchronize tomboy ? [11:21] so I formated my drive, and re installed.. now Im gonna install the packages a few at a time >( [11:21] ziroday, I won't need them I guess [11:21] ziroday, all I'll need is gtk to use apps like pidgin and brasero [11:21] and in video i did X Windows Systel (sans Xv) [11:22] system [11:22] when you boot up Ubuntu from a CD (LiveCD). can you install drivers and programs without them really being installed on the hard drive ? [11:22] #ubuntu-fr [11:23] ziroday, probably the only gnome app I'd keep is gnome-terminal [11:23] Chowder: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop gnome-desktop-data libgtk2.0-0 && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get install pidgin brasero gnome-terminal [11:24] Anobody know of internet browsers for DosBox? [11:24] hi, all [11:24] arachne === AprilHare_ is now known as aprilhare [11:24] anyone know how i can see gif file in ubuntu? [11:24] ziroday: gotcha. I think I'm just gonna install the latest e17 from source [11:25] tomcyl: open it in the browser [11:25] Chowder: gutsy [11:25] all gif i make in photoshop [11:25] ziroday, indeed. [11:25] they r not moving [11:26] e17 when is it going to be final? [11:26] can you install drivers and programs without them really being installed on the hard drive by booting up from a LiveCD ? [11:26] tomcyl: then you created it incorrectly [11:26] Frxstrem: yep, as long as you don't restart [11:26] Frxstrem: or run out of ram. [11:27] ziroday: Thanks :D [11:27] ziroday i can see them normal in windows [11:28] tomcyl: and you opened it in firefox? [11:28] tomcyl: did you open it in a web browser in windows? [11:28] yes [11:28] tomcyl: did it animate in windows in a web browser? [11:29] does punkbuster work in ubuntu with eiter wine or cedega? [11:29] i did it by photoshop [11:29] WAR-JC: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616555 so yes [11:30] tomcyl: right, but _did_ you view it in a web browser in windows? [11:30] i think i need some photoview SW on ubuntu [11:31] thanks for the link ziroday [11:31] tomcyl: no, to view animated gifs all you need is a web browser. [11:31] i can see them normal in web browse [11:31] WAR-JC: no problem, have fun [11:31] tomcyl: so in windows, you saw your gif move around in a web browser? [11:31] is they any SW like Photoshop? [11:31] its called animated gifs [11:32] tomcyl: yes, gimp [11:32] marcel_: thank you, we know. [11:32] ziroday, hah, found an easy script online to install from SVN [11:32] Chowder: doubly gutsy [11:32] ziroday, nah, it was written by an e17 dev [11:33] Chowder: my stance still holds :) [11:33] lol [11:35] , my gif not move in GIMP? [11:35] tomcyl: because you didn't export it correctly in photoshop. [11:35] ok i try thanks [11:36] whats the name of that game with colored balls you have to shoot? [11:37] marcel_: frozen bubble [11:37] ziroday, thanks [11:38] hey guys I have a Compaq Presario C700 and I had wireless working using compat-wireless but I updated Linux-generic-headers to 2.16.7-27 and now its not working [11:38] any ideas how I can fix this ? [11:39] clearscreen, after i close the gui how do i restart it? [11:40] clearscreen! [11:41] mopoyo: close what gui? [11:41] gdm [11:41] stop [11:41] I can't remember the whole command but it was something like that [11:42] /usr/var/gdm stop or something [11:42] /etc/init.d/gdm restart [11:42] is that it? [11:42] /etc/init.d/gdm restart [11:42] mopoyo, try ctrl + alt + backspace <<--- restarts X (it will close any de/wm [11:42] nah I just typed random characters just for the lulz [11:42] :P [11:42] what the hell [11:42] mopoyo: Or press Ctrl-Alt-F1, login there, and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [11:43] what does de/wm stand for? [11:43] mopoyo: desktop environment / window manager [11:43] desktop enviroment (kde, gnome, xfce)/ window manager (fluxbox, openbox, etc...) [11:44] I made my SAN 2 & 4GB and a ZAP 16GB USB flash drives into a stable xubuntu 8.10 system, for an acer aspire 3682 with 1.6 GHz celeron(R) M, 1GB ram and malfunctioning IDE hdd.. I removed the flawed hard drive, booted from a Xubuntu8.10.iso, opened terminal, typed , gave the system the 4GB san disk plus the 2GB one for swap area. Leaving me with 16GB free space on my solid state hard dr [11:44] ive system.. [11:44] give an example server for news reader in slrn(slang news reader).....how is slrn, i want to try [11:44] imstnor, tip insted of doing sudo su do sudo -i [11:45] what does it do [11:45] abhi____: Try aioe.org or news.motzarella.org [11:45] If I install software from the ubuntu repository is it safe to say that I am downloading the most updated version? [11:45] the same =] pretty much but all via sudo rather than su [11:45] abhi____: (the Motzarella one will need registration, but is free) [11:45] sudo -i <<< keeps root terminal [11:45] < grawity>ok i'll try now [11:46] mopoyo, pretty much =] [11:46] abhi____: also, try this: enter the letters gr, then press Tab. (On IRC) [11:46] mopoyo: no, unless you're running jaunty [11:46] i just downloaded vim! [11:46] grawity: [11:46] it's version 7.1 -.- [11:46] mopoyo: no, the repos do not aim to run latest versions [11:46] !latest | mopoyo [11:46] mopoyo: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [11:46] mopoyo: anything you're grabbing from the 8.10 (or lower) repositories is pretty stable... but very outdated :P [11:47] gr [11:47] So how do I get the latest version of vim? [11:47] mopoyo: apt-get install vim? [11:47] I just did that >.> [11:48] mopoyo: you either deal with it until jaunty becomes stable, or you upgrade to jaunty, or you grab the source and build it yourself, or you use backports [11:48] the possibilities are endless :P [11:49] mopoyo, why do you need the latest copy just out of intrest [11:49] xray7224, dunno [11:49] clearscreen, how do I build it myself? [11:49] mopoyo, not adviced [11:49] mopoyo: don't. Just use the version the repo offers [11:50] xray7224, why not? [11:50] I'm running hardy. I went to upgrade to ibex (yes, took a while, I know) , but i got told that my restricted nvidia drivers were not supported, and they would revert to 'nv' which would not support 3d stuff. Has this been fixed? [11:50] oCean_, why should I use the older version? [11:50] !backports | mopoyo [11:50] mopoyo: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [11:50] mopoyo, why not [11:50] mopoyo→ because it's tested and we give you support with it [11:51] mopoyo: 1) because you have NO reason at all to use 7.2 over 7.1 2) because otherwise you will have to compile it yourself, and might run into dependency problems and such [11:51] mopoyo→ if you use any other version than the one from the repos, you are on your own and we don't offer any support for it [11:51] mopoyo: trust me, just read up on backports if you REALLY want to upgrade vim (and vim only).. otherwise just wait for jaunty to become stable [11:53] http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/editors/vim <<< @ mopoyo [11:53] mopoyo, at the very bottem there is download vim amd64 = 64 bit install, i386 = 32 bit install pick ur one download and install [11:54] no love for my question guys? come on, be a sport [11:54] drowner, sorry i must have missed it what question ? [11:54] I'm running hardy. I went to upgrade to ibex (yes, took a while, I know) , but i got told that my restricted nvidia drivers were not supported, and they would revert to 'nv' which would not support 3d stuff. Has this been fixed? [11:54] Error: Dependency is not satisfiable [11:55] anyone here have an idea about installation of additional plone products? [11:55] as in, are there new restricted drivers available? [11:55] for the legacy cards? [11:55] @ xray7224 [11:55] that work with the new kernel? [11:55] mopoyo: yes, there you have it [11:55] mopoyo, thought as much it has a dependancy list on the site i liked too ur gunna spend a while rounding up all your dependances =] [11:56] i want to install CSS manager and Plone Subskins..me running on ubuntu..can anyone help me? [11:56] xray7224: that is why we advice against it, even don't advice it here [11:56] xray7224, I don't even konw what a dependency is. [11:56] mopoyo, its a something a program uses to run =] pretty much [11:57] mopoyo: and you're in dependency hell! The irony. What's the problem with the current stable build of vim again? [11:57] oCean_, he wanted a answer i gave it he can see what a pain it is =] [11:58] hey guys where can I get the newest version of madwifi from ? [11:58] mopoyo, considering you have no real need for the newer id stick with the older one it will save u quite some time =] [11:58] stepi: I would assume www.madwifi.org [11:58] ./j #madwifi [11:59] is it not possible to use promiscuous mode with ndiswrapper? [11:59] being newbie and all.. I haven't been using cli since the old win 3.1 and amiga days.. After installing the intrepid ibex on my solid state usb drive system; I'd like to get some skills using bash, anyone know handy boot parameters?, I'd like to change the Xubuntu boot menu.. How to slim down the system, what is the basic applications for GUI? [12:00] how would i delete all the gedit backups in one quick command? [12:01] rm -f *~ [12:01] what command line can i use to find a string in all the files of a directory ? [12:01] xray7224, I don't really care about time, I'm more concerned about learning how to use linux [12:01] imstnor: since it seems you don't have run into a very specific issue (yet), you might want to start in this pocketguide (free download: http://ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html) [12:02] maxagaz: you can use a combination of 'ls', 'cat', 'grep', and 'awk' [12:02] maxagaz: use grep "grep *" [12:02] thx [12:03] magnetron: grep -i to make case insensitive and grep -R to do recursive (i.e. including subdirectories) [12:03] magnetron: ah, not for you [12:03] mopoyo, some would argue that learning to stick with the older would be a better option but if u must then take a look at the dependances on the page i sent you ull have to get them (if they depend on something you will have to get them too) you would be as well off moving up to jaunty [12:03] maxagaz: grep -i to make case insensitive and grep -R to do recursive (i.e. including subdirectories) [12:03] Gunna ask my question one more time [12:03] :D [12:04] I'm running hardy. I went to upgrade to ibex (yes, took a while, I know) , but i got told that my restricted nvidia drivers were not supported, and they would revert to 'nv' which would not support 3d stuff. Has this been fixed? [12:04] xray7224: or he could just look up backports as I've stated about 10min ago, so he can upgrade a simple package to a newer version through apt :P [12:04] drowner: I'm not answering because I simply do not know the answer :) [12:05] clearscreen: fair enough :D [12:05] droazen nvidia 173 drivers works [12:05] clearscreen, id say that too but he isn't listing to that [12:05] drowner nvidia 173 drivers works [12:05] drowner: it depends on which card you have. [12:05] Dillizar: Is that for all old cards? Is it not bundled with 8.10? Are you prompted to add it yourself? [12:06] drowner: jockey-gtk will give an option between 173 and 180 [12:06] you can choose yourself [12:06] drowner whats the model of your nvidia [12:06] drowner: for example, I had a card for which I know it works perfectly with kernel version 2.6 and it also works on Windows with the original drivers, but nvidia simply dropped support in order to force people to upgrade. [12:07] Dillizar: GeForce4 420 Go rev a3 [12:07] according to lspci [12:08] go to nvidia and see wich drivers it use drowner [12:08] drowner: it is their business model. The chips and so on can probably last for 20 years or so, but they introduce certain bad components (like fans) which are designed to break after a few years so that people need to buy "new hardware", because it is "broken". It's a big waste from an environmental point of view, but good for business. [12:08] hi [12:09] oCean_, clearscreen: thanks [12:10] i have downloaded some dvd for my dad he had them on video but his video player broke so how i change them from .avi to one that i can play in his dvd player [12:11] Dillizar: My card is not on their website ;( [12:11] Preplexed add/remove and just type video convert but avi is not a free [12:12] Preplexed, You might want to look at avidemux [12:12] ok well is there free one how do i pay for it [12:13] Preplexed there is ogg [12:13] but just type video conertor in the add/remove [12:13] and you will find one [12:14] ok thank-you [12:14] Hi [12:14] umm... I just got the intrepid backport and try to apt-get install vim... but it says my vim is already at the latest version -.- [12:15] plan to do windows migration to ubuntu [12:15] can anyone guide?

[12:17] quantum: or hardinfo for a gui tool [12:17] ziroday: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [12:17] like opensource tools [12:17] mahiti-irc: ask somewhere else [12:17] if you mean something that let you print as a pdf file [12:17] !wine | mahiti-irc [12:17] mahiti-irc: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [12:17] ziroday: thanks, what do you use [12:17] i dont want use wine [12:17] irix_: I don't have an ipod [12:18] mahiti-irc, equivalents? [12:18] i need some alternative tools for that [12:18] like GIMP and scribus [12:18] ziroday: can u tell me 1 thing... yesterday I installed kde 4.1 from synaptic on ubuntu 8.10 but then dolphin , konqueror and konsole werent installed ? [12:18] why ? [12:18] !equivalents > mahiti-irc check this [12:18] mahiti-irc, please see my private message [12:18] mahiti-irc: alternative tools for what? [12:18] mahiti-irc, isn't distiller something that let you print as a pdf file ? [12:18] quantum: install kubuntu-dekstop [12:18] ziroday: hmmm let me check [12:19] I'm having trouble with suspend/resume in Hardy. I've upgraded my ATI Radeon HD 3650 video driver to the absolute latest and that had zero effect. What else can I try? [12:19] ziroday: in kde 4.1 how do I add shortcuts to panels ? [12:19] quantum: ask in #kubuntu === lynx is now known as lynx- [12:19] iamleneko: yes like that only [12:19] mahiti-irc, there is this [12:20] how do i change the write speed in brasero disc burning software? [12:20] etfb did you try to activate the effects [12:20] ok [12:20] Dillizar: Hmmm? [12:20] what u mean by this ? [12:20] mahiti-irc, i don't remember if i had to install something, i think it is out from the box [12:20] ziroday: right thanks [12:21] etfb right click on the desktop and configurate desktop or smt like that and on the end you have desktop effects or smt like that [12:21] mahiti-irc, i have a pfd writer driver for cups installed [12:21] clearscreen, I just added the jaunty repos and it still says that I have the latest version of vim! [12:21] irix_: you can try banshee or gtkpod [12:21] Hi, every time I plug in my external drive and kde auto-mounts it, a new folder is created in the /media directory that is based on the drive's label, rather than simply mounting on the directory name that is already there (e.g. the drive label is foo, so when I plug it in it creates foo-1, then the next time it creates foo-2, and so on, rather than just mounting on foo). What's causing this behaviour? [12:21] ciao [12:21] mahiti-irc, then i can print form any software as a pdf file [12:21] can you give me the driver? [12:21] aar: try remove /media/foo [12:22] mahiti-irc, sudo apt-get install cups-pdf [12:22] aar you didnt unmount the last time :D [12:22] Dillizar: You mean stuff like Compiz? What does that have to do with suspend/resume and things crashing? [12:22] how can i use zd1211 with fluxbuntu? [12:22] thx [12:22] aar: but it sounds like a kde issue, which is in #kubuntu :) [12:22] ziroday, yes that would clear things, but then it starts all over again as soon as I plug it in again.

[12:31] mopoyo, your not still on about vim are you [12:31] mopoyo: you shouldn't mix jaunty with intrepid repositories, just need to grab intrepid-backports (the software versions will be similar to that of jaunty, I didn't specify this clear enough).. you will probably want to use pins to set the priority of the backports lower than the actual repositories.. then you'll need to apt-get update and then install using '-t' [12:31] xukun, Try running mplayer /dev/cdrom from a terminal with a audio CD in the drive and report and erros [12:32] z00m: and the rest of the info?

[12:43] mahiti-irc, dig into this http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Your_first_PDF_form_with_Scribus [12:43] mahiti-irc, there is probably a way to get data from some database or anything [12:43] shlunk: no, pastebin more information [12:43] ziroday, I use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but a very simple xorg.conf generated [12:43] ziroday, what does the -9 do? [12:43] anderson: what do you want from it? [12:44] iamleneko : ok let me try [12:44] mopoyo: it shoots the process in the head (the process has to die) [12:44] ziroday, a more detailed xorg.conf like UBUNTU 8.10 [12:44] anderson: what are you trying to do? And what version of ubuntu are you on? [12:44] I am on 9.04 [12:44] anyone know why i can't type in gdm on initial load? if i switch to a text console, restart gdm then i can usually type fine (appears to be if the init scripts have finished)?

[12:48] lol @ punda [12:49] there are a few gamers, but not that many overall [12:49] its the only reason im dual booting windows would be gone otherwise [12:49] mopoyo: then either there is no newer version of vim in backports, or you did it wrong :P [12:49] oCean: thanks for the link.. I printed out a vesion of the bash reference manual html version as well.. linux gives a feeling of empowerment, but there are pitfalls ;) this is the fourth install on this USB flash drive.. xubuntu is great because of its byte economics, I'd love to understand it well enugh to slim it down further to decrease load on my fragile system.. the main IDE harddrive is removed from the computer.. [12:49] django nice :P i tried to do something in that [12:49] if i can get me games running on linux it would be a god send [12:49] z00m, story of everyone here [12:49] shlunk: use `touch' to show whether you can write to a file or not. Also include the output of « groups » for those users [12:50] z00m nexuiz is a good FPS [12:50] clearscreen, there was no need for the smiley face at the end. [12:50] jrib: thanks - how do i output the groups?

[12:51] that's great, hop along now :) [12:52] z00m its in the repo's (sudo apt-get install nexuiz) [12:52] well i like battleforge is a RTS (card based game) and FPS games [12:52] z00m: new games are unlikely to work on linux [12:52] @ ziroday [12:53] http://pastebin.com/m10a1205f [12:53] battke forge runs with wine but when it attempts to download the updates it just keeps failing on patching the files [12:53] what are some good rpg games for ubuntu?

[12:54] mopoyo, stop the insults. [12:54] shlunk: do you understand what I meant by using « touch »? [12:54] groups added - touch works fine in terminal, but can't open the symlink to view or edit files in that folder in dolphin [12:54] jrib: yep, i can touch the files in that folder as "andy" [12:54] in the terminal, anyway [12:54] i can't click through the symlink in dolphin [12:55] bazhang, what are some good games for ubuntu? [12:55] shlunk: So in a terminal you are able to edit and view the files, correct? Try hitting reload in dolphin (in gnome at least, you have to hit reload when you change permissions).

[12:57] jrib: "andy" doesn't have read permission on the folder's parent, "domains" [12:57] so no, it doesn't work [12:58] Is there any graphical SFV checker for Ubuntu?

[13:36] JohnCane: generally KleanSweep causes more problems than it solves. if you have to ask "is it safe to delete?", the answer is no :-) [13:36] ZeroKewl: thats ok, so ask for help in the correct place, which isnt here [13:36] Dillizar: No, its about the actual login in gnome. In hardy it was ~5 seconds, and now its 30+ before i can start up programs [13:36] sipior: i just thought that my computer maybe would be a little faster if i cleaned it up :) [13:36] q. when the 904 is supposed to be released ?

[13:36] i ask they have no clue either [13:36] JohnCane: it won't, rather :-) [13:36] in few days [13:37] 23 [13:37] i think [13:37] ZeroKewl: that still doesnt mean you can bring it here...

[13:40] Trijntje yes [13:41] I'm running intrepid, i've just noticed that my cds/dvds get mounted by their volume name rather than /media/cdrom. How can I get them to mount in the same spot every time? [13:41] ill try that, but its the standard ibex wallpaper, so I expect that's not the case [13:42] movedx: try lm-sensors [13:42] Trijntje wait you are waiting alot before or after the login window === joey_ is now known as joeyjones [13:42] Dillizar: after the login window [13:43] #armia_polska [13:43] magnetron, !!! how do I disable the propriety drivers and use the ubuntu ones?!?!

[14:05] mrgreen, new install basically ignores xorg.conf and automagically configures everything [14:05] No need for xorg.conf with latest Xorg [14:05] ok.... so how do you reconfigure screen res.? [14:05] markiv1982, jaunty discussion in #ubuntu+1 [14:06] use window manager setting [14:06] mrgreen, basically you aren't supposed to [14:06] running at 800x600 suks [14:06] mrgreen, what video card do you have?

[14:15] ianh99: I recently updated to ibex, but i also had the problem in gutsy. [14:15] Some idiot made me run sudo rm -rf /etc/iptables.rule [14:15] vinlinux, its similiar to vnc in that you can use it to remotely control a system over a network [14:15] Volume Control > Preferences > Check Front Channel [14:15] Meelu: made you? [14:15] biagidp: Volume Control > Preferences > Check Front Channel [14:15] I asked for help on irc on another channel he did it as a joke [14:15] he thought i knew what it did [14:16] Meelu: typing commands that you don't understand is never a good idea. [14:16] i wanted to reset the iptables rules [14:16] clear [14:16] mafsi: that's where I'm looking, but Front Channel isn't present in the list of things I am able to check [14:16] Meelu, well, in a way you did reset them ;) [14:17] Yes but it doesnt help does it [14:17] i wanted to clear [14:17] biagidp: volume control (I have HDA Alsa Mixer) > Preferences > FrontChannel [14:17] Trijntje, Sorry out of ideas, maybe the problem in Gutsy is still with you after the upgrade. You could try a new install, but thats a bit severe [14:17] Does anyone know how i can fix it [14:18] Meelu: Live CD? [14:18] ? [14:18] Meelu: backups? [14:18] nope i just have a rule [14:18] i dont understand much of it my friend does [14:18] sipior: if Meelu will run update-rc.d ... defaults will help? [14:19] is it advisable to install KDE and XFCE in the same installation of Ubuntu or in Fresh Install? [14:19] he told me on irc that i will be able to may be able to fix my problem if i clear that file [14:19] how mafsi? [14:19] markiv1982, sure, you just select which desktop you want when you start up [14:19] mafsi: looks like PCM-2 under Analog Devices AD1091B (OSS Mixer) controls audio [14:19] for me at least [14:19] ianh99: hmm, too bad. I'm still hoping a little that the new gnome on jaunty will magically solve the problem. If not maybe ill reinstall. Thanks for your help! [14:20] ... [14:20] markiv1982, its fine to install together [14:20] sudo update-rc.d defaults [14:20] Meelu: sudo update-rc.d defaults [14:20] markiv1982, xubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop are the packages to install [14:20] im not realy good with ubuntu, how will this communicate with the iptables.rules [14:21] or tell it to do anything to that file [14:21] Will i get KDE 4.2.2 in kubuntu? === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [14:21] mafsi: no, that won't affect the situation. [14:21] mafsi: that sets up runlevel symbolic links, as i recall [14:21] How stable would the transition from Intrepid to Jaunty be if I did it todat instead of in a couple of weeks? Intrepid has a broken pyqt4/phonon, which Jaunty fixes. The backport process is fairly painful, but I need it this week. I'm wondering if I'm not just better off upgrading early. [14:21] mafsi? [14:22] It might also make suspend work ;) [14:22] Meelu: how did you create the iptable rule set in the first place? might simply have to redo your configuration. [14:22] sipior: if Meelu will do a file with some iptables and update it ? [14:22] pmitros its good you will have upgrades and bug fixers every day [14:22] my friend can do it for me, but hes not back for hours [14:22] and in two weeks will not become a full version === rafael is now known as pnut [14:22] pmitros, and jaunty discussion in #ubuntu+1 please [14:23] Okay. I'll wait for more responses and go there. [14:23] Meelu: was it a large set of rules, or just one? if you tell us what you need done, we can probably set you up here.

[14:26] Meelu: do you have a program called "iptables-save" on your machine? [14:26] i mean he said this may have caused the problem on my server so he said clearing may help [14:26] How do I enable gdm after disabling it in ubuntu 8.10 x86, under system -> admin -> services I cannot unlock that section anymore. I logged in to a console and then typed startx to get back to the desktop. Any hints? [14:26] im not sure i set the server to recovery mode [14:26] Meelu: also, have you rebooted the machine since you deleted the iptables.rule file? [14:26] nope [14:26] marko-_-: try executing the program from a terminal and see what errors get output [14:27] Meelu: if the rules are still in place, you can simply write them back out to disk with iptables-save. [14:27] sipior: :) correct [14:27] hey guys, my screen resolution is 1024X768, and i always change it to 1280X960 and when i restart, it goes back to the lower resolution... how do i keep it the way i want it? im running nvidia gf fx5200 [14:27] nano /etc/iptables.rules [14:27] and there isnt anything there [14:27] atmospherian, how ? there on my emulation C drive the stalker file is empty [14:27] Meelu: sudo iptables-save [14:28] it work great installing it normaly - with wine but the game crashes and i read that it's better to use PlayOnLinux.. but i can't even find a tutorial how to install a game [14:28] properly [14:28] marko-_-: look at what command the icon is executing, and run that in a terminal [14:28] When I change the country in the keyboard options , Do I have to reboot the computer ?

[14:39] good morning everyone [14:39] chrislsp: what's the output of "ls -l myprog.s" [14:40] sipior: -rw-r--r-- 1 chris chris 642 2009-04-10 16:12 myprog.s [14:40] chrislsp: and how are you trying to load the file? [14:41] sipior: I really dont know. im read this information on "Operating system concepts 8th" [14:41] sipior: and it sasy asm-i386 [14:41] there is an option in the xspim which says load...press it...write filename and ok [14:42] RanyAlbeg: probably a bit out of date. have a look at the 3rd edition of "Linux Device Drivers" or a similar recent reference. [14:43] sipior: i think i sovled it [14:43] sipior: i think i solved it* [14:43] sipior: are you familiar with this folder and contents? [14:43] RanyAlbeg: vaguely, why? [14:44] sipior: trying to locate a file called unistd.h to add a system call number. [14:44] Is #ubuntu the channel with the most online people on freenode? [14:44] sipior: i was trying to load a file from a folder that xspim couldn't "see" [14:44] hi there, does somebody know where i can find the ppa for http://live.gnome.org/Planner . Tnx in advance [14:45] chrislsp: that will do it. [14:45] RanyAlbeg: sure, unistd.h lives there quite happily. [14:46] RanyAlbeg: remember it's split into unistd_64.h and unistd_32.h, though. [14:46] i can find this file in many places inside /usr/src//include/ [14:46] RanyAlbeg: or rather, both are #IFDEF'd by the main unistd.h [14:46] i dont know which one i need to edit [14:47] Hi, I'm having trouble restoring ubuntu. I have restored ubuntu from a backup and I changed the partition table so it contains 3 primary partitions (ntfs, 83 and 84) but before the restore I had one primary, extended and two partition inside the extended. The problem is that grub seems to keep using hd0,5 even though I have changed menu.lst and specify root(hd0,1) [14:47] yea , so where is the main [14:47] main unistd [14:47] Do yu know what the deal is? I'm getting grub error 2 [14:47] RanyAlbeg: whichever one corresponds to the architecture you're concerned with. [14:48] Does grub and grub-install use other configs as well? [14:50] i just installed apt-get install x-window-system kde kdm and it installed lots of dependancies however i did apt-get remove x-window-system kde kdm but it hasnt removed the dependancies , how do i remove all the things it installed cause its took loads of hdd space up lol [14:50] hi [14:50] my ubuntu fails to play flash [14:50] why is that so? I spend 15 minutes in some dorky synaptic already. I just want flash [14:51] probs: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [14:51] Berberi: did, no help. still flash thinks it has it, but youtube do not play [14:51] hi [14:51] probs: Have you restarted firefox? [14:51] how can start fluxbox instead of gdm/gnome? [14:51] sipior: i can only find /usr/src/linux-2.6.18.1/include/asm-i386 , but this is not the kernel i want. [14:51] Berberi: yes [14:52] probs: Are you sure that it worked? Because this is all you need for flash to work [14:52] Berberi: it is installed (in Synaptic). firefox is restarted and still faiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil [14:52] is there a way i can install updates offline from terminal ? [14:52] big black box instead the flash (on youtube) [14:53] ksa_: In gdm you should be able to choose which window manager or desktop environment you startup via gdm [14:53] i want to update my grub, intrd, x, kernel, offline is there a way to to do it [14:53] probs, I know this doesn't help you but I've tried to get youtube to work in 3 different flavours of linux on my desktop and it has never worked, worked first shot on my laptop though [14:54] Halitech: for me it usually worked, but now it failed [14:54] probs, do you have compiz enabled? [14:54] wait [14:54] it worked \o/ [14:54] i have a massive memory leak but i've no idea what's causing it... is there any way to find out what keeps filling up the ram and swap? the process list doesn't correspond at all [14:54] the failre was because there where 2 flash pugins installed. [14:55] probs, I have the opposite, I get the video but no audio .... not that I care youtube=evil to me ~L~ [14:55] Halitech: There is no difference in laptop ubuntu and desktop ubuntu apart from hardware [14:55] Berserkur: it makes to me to change session, but it's the first fluxbox session [14:56] ksa_: Do you want a second fluxbox session? [14:56] Berserkur: first! when i select fluxbox in gdm it takes to me an error [14:56] Berserkur, I know so why it works on the laptop and not the desktop makes no sense to me at all but I seldom go to youtube (other sites all seem fine) so I don't really care and when I do get a link sent to me, I just fire up the laptop [14:56] please, i need ur help my ubuntu has been offline ever since i updated to 8.10 :( kernel panic, i tried changing grub and adding intrd to it but it doesnt work :( [14:57] Halitech: Seems like a lot of trouble for just one link :) [14:57] Berserkur, or use download helper to grab the file and watch it that way [14:57] Berserkur: "your session only lasted less 10 seconds...." [14:58] ksa_: What is the error? [14:58] Berserkur, I know but usually its up and running anyway or I just save the link for when it is running [14:59] hello all [14:59] hi [15:00] Halitech: Maybe you have the same problem as probs. Flash installed twice [15:00] Halitech: I suggest you take a look at the firefox plug-in directory [15:01] Halitech: go to plugins tools thingy in main menu, then to plugins. I had one for 9.x and one for 10.x flash === fireup is now known as dillizaar [15:01] Berserkur, I think I did check but give me a sec and I'll double check .... I'm also on Debian, not Ubuntu === root is now known as Guest25478 [15:03] Berserkur, I've got flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so ... can I just delete the .so file? [15:03] i was deleting my swap partion and now my desktop wont load, anyone could help me fix it please? [15:04] How can i restart the audio engine in ubuntu ? [15:04] Halitech: No, you need the .so file [15:04] Berserkur: the file X11/xinit/xinput.d/default has all var empty (XIM, XIM_PROGRAM.. etc etc) [15:04] im using alsa [15:04] what are the value of these vars? [15:04] Berserkur, ok, I checked the plugings and found I did have both as well, like probs, just disabled the version 9 [15:05] Halitech: Does it work now? [15:05] i can't get my ubuntu server connected to lan, can anyone please help me [15:05] SliderMan: when you removed your swap partition, you changed the numbering of all the partitions that live further along the disk, cylinder-wise. how were you partitions ordered before you deleted swap? [15:05] just restarting iceweasel so will let you know in a second [15:06] SliderMan: (also, why did you delete swap?) [15:06] sipior, it wasnt deleting anything. i deleted 4-5 and my other were 1-2-3 [15:06] and the login screen is jsut fine when i login nothing happens. [15:07] SliderMan: what was on 4 and 5? that's two partitions, now. did you delete /home as well? [15:07] oh i made a ntfs partion [15:07] no home where number 3 [15:07] and root where number 1 [15:07] Berserkur, now I don't even get the window to show the video [15:07] http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/elie+semoun/video/x7xwlj_il-reste-qui-qui-n-est-pas-contre-u_news [15:08] from a shell i can cd /home [15:08] http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/elie+semoun/video/x7xwlj_il-reste-qui-qui-n-est-pas-contre-u_news [15:08] psychomantis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:08] SliderMan: and all your files are there? [15:08] yeah [15:08] this is really wierd. [15:08] watch that link [15:08] chavez is the greatest [15:09] SliderMan: interesting. and you don't get any errors when you attempt to log in? does anything appear in /var/log/auth.log? [15:09] Berserkur, just disabled 10 and re-enabled 9 [15:09] hi ubuntu world [15:09] just got up [15:09] should i check the log file, sipior? [15:09] good morning nevada1920. Me too.. [15:09] SliderMan: please. [15:09] psychomantis, dont paste that here [15:09] SliderMan: one more thing: do you still have an entry for swap in /etc/fstab? [15:10] what ? [15:10] sipior how do i check it out? [15:10] Berserkur, no go, same as before, video but no audio [15:10] !ot > psychomantis [15:10] psychomantis, please see my private message [15:10] bazhang u talkin to me [15:10] wait let me check the log first. [15:11] brb [15:11] SliderMan: open that file up in an editor or pager, and search for the string "swap" [15:11] Berserkur, but I'm not worrying about it, if it works it works if it doesn't it doesn't [15:11] sipior, which file? [15:11] SliderMan: /etc/fstab [15:11] ok hold on please. [15:12] Halitech: Fair enough. I don't know how it is on debian. Maybe it's more trouble since flash isn't free [15:12] ubuntu#1 ubuntu#1 [15:12] sipior, using the bash what editor program can i use to view the file? [15:13] SliderMan: nano is userfriendly [15:13] SliderMan: nano is fine, or just use "less" to page it [15:13] ok thanks alot ! === tlx|away is now known as tlx [15:13] hi, I've a problem. I installed 9.04 beta. After six hours reached to obtain something... My last problem is internet connection. I need to cofigure by pppeo protocol so, as I did in 8.04, I launched 'sudo pppoeconf'. After that the connection over internet is running.... But I've to repeat that operation 'pppoeconfig' each time also if I requested to set it at boot. Please, can somebody help me? [15:13] is there a way i can update to ubuntu 8.10 from cd and terminal ? [15:13] its says /dev/sda5 - some string here swap === dillizaar is now known as Dillizar [15:13] Berserkur, well funny thing is, the laptop is also running Debian and it works and flash works on other sites that I go to .... wonder if flock or opera work with youtube ..... [15:14] mariafranca_, #ubuntu+1 for 9.04 [15:14] hey [15:14] SliderMan: all right, you can remove that line. btw, you never did say why you deleted your swap partition in the first place. [15:14] what's the difference between python-vm-builder and ubuntu-vm-builder? [15:14] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:14] is it possible to set up a usb thumb with dual boot [15:15] because i needed place for ntfs partion my brother got mad at me because i changed to ubuntu and he wanted to use win-xp. [15:15] psychomantis, please take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [15:15] Halitech: Maybe there is some other flashplayer installed as well. Like swfdec or something [15:16] should it fix my problem now? [15:16] hi [15:16] Berserkur, I think I removed them all, just trying Flock now to see if it works, if not I'm not worrying anymore about it [15:16] i'm installing ubuntu sever for the first time ever! first ubuntu install :) [15:17] SliderMan: how much memory does your system have? and were there any entries in /var/log/auth.log that correspond to your attempted logins? [15:17] sipior i have 1hd with 40gb [15:17] and let me check the log, hold on please. [15:17] SliderMan: memory, not disk space [15:17] 256MB [15:17] Hi, I'm having trouble restoring ubuntu. I have restored ubuntu from a backup and I changed the partition table so it contains 3 primary partitions (ntfs, 83 and 84) but before the restore I had one primary, extended and two partition inside the extended. The problem is that grub seems to keep using hd0,5 even though I have changed menu.lst and specified root(hd0,1) before executing setup (hd0) [15:17] you should of said RAM [15:18] SliderMan: oh dear...you don't want to be removing your swap partition... [15:18] SliderMan: memory == ram, friend. [15:18] i would understand better if you said ram. === csanda is now known as thule === thule is now known as csanda [15:18] and when i was using swap my comp took really long to load up bc my disk is slow [15:18] and old [15:19] is there a way to remove esd from ubuntu entirely. it keeps crashing and causing pidgin to crash when it does [15:19] How can i update eclipse 3.2 on ubuntu 8.10? [15:19] sipior, wouldnt it load up with only 256MB? [15:19] Halitech: you might not have libflashsupport insyakked [15:19] yowshi➜ um, esd was replaced by pulseaudio. [15:19] *insyalled [15:20] *installed [15:20] cellofellow: then why when i do a lsof |grep esd do i see a rather large list of items using esd? [15:20] darkvertex, possible, let me check that although flash works on other sites [15:20] SliderMan: 256MB is the *bare* minimum for running ubuntu. removing your swap partition means that the computer has few options when it runs out of memory. how long did you give the machine after you tried to log in? [15:20] if ive got a friend running windows, and he wants to do a git-pull from my computer what will i have to do? (i have fixed the router port forwarding and ive got samba if thats needed) [15:21] yowshi➜ pulseaudio emulates it, so stuff may be accessing esd files that pulseaudio provides. Try ps aux | grep esd (or esound) to see if it's running. [15:21] Sipior it stills "trys" to login i was switching with alt+crtl + f1 / f2 [15:21] Hmm [15:21] So I have this friend.... running Windows lol [15:21] What is the "bare minimum" for text-only Ubuntu? [15:21] grawity: very little :-) [15:21] i see my mouse i can move it around, nothing really happen there. [15:21] yowshi➜ I get esd stuff when I lsof and I know it's pulseaudio providing those services. [15:21] cellofellow: i assume if it returns an entry it is running. which it did return an entry [15:21] !requirements [15:21] Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu [15:21] ? [15:22] doesn't ubuntu install require 256MB of RAM but that number can be reduced later? === hemanth is now known as hemanth_hm [15:22] cellofellow: well i would like to stop programmes from using it. it crashes almost daily [15:22] CPU can be pretty slow I think :) [15:22] I don't see why you couldn't run it on a 100MHz CPU [15:22] !money [15:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about money [15:22] !memory [15:22] A quick FAQ on Memory Management: http://gentoo-wiki.com/FAQ_Linux_Memory_Management For Lubos Lunak's desktop memory usage comparison, see: http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/memory/desktop_benchmark.html [15:22] haha [15:23] Hm.

[15:23] !alternate > grawity [15:23] grawity, please see my private message [15:23] sipior, what should i look for in the log file? [15:23] some one can tell me if there is a plugin that generates graphics in symfony ? [15:23] SliderMan: you'll need to establish some sort of swap space if you want to log in with anything like a reasonable delay. frankly, looking at expanding the machine's memory would be the best long-term solution. [15:24] yowshi➜ honestly esd is just part of gnome. if you want to get rid of it don't use gnome. try removing it if you want and see what happens though. [15:24] cellofellow: well then i couldnt use firefox evolution pidgin or gweather. all of which are listed in the grep esd [15:24] hola [15:24] yowshi➜ firefox?? [15:24] sipior i am getting another 256mb card next week. so total of 512MB [15:24] cellofellow: firefox 24544 yoshi mem REG 8,18 45808 1861410 /usr/lib/libesd.so.0.2.39 [15:24] SliderMan: you will notice a dramatic improvement :-) [15:24] if ive got a friend running windows, and he wants to do a git-pull from my computer what will i have to do? (i have fixed the router port forwarding and ive got samba if thats needed) [15:25] SliderMan: a swap partition or file will still be required, however. [15:25] sipior yeah this comp takes like 5mins to load up firefox. [15:25] yowshi➜ does ps aux | grep esd turn up anything [15:25] can anyone please help me? [15:25] should i use my other 10gb hd as swap? [15:25] i always get this error message when i want to install something [15:25] cellofellow: yoshi 26958 0.0 0.0 8272 880 pts/0 R+ 10:21 0:00 grep esd === hemanth is now known as hemanth_hm [15:25] help with sound! got a sound blaster audigy 2 zs in my desktop that stopped working right after installing ubuntu.. still works on windows, but i hate windows... tried all the forums and nothing worked ie. changing settings to pulse audio, alsamixer settings, etc... help please! === hemanth_hm is now known as hemanth [15:25] SliderMan: you won't need that much. one or two gigs would be fine for you. [15:25] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/148373/ [15:26] yowshi➜ I told you before that ubuntu replaced esd with pulseaudio. pulseaudio is compatible with esd, so a lot of programs haven't upgraded to using PA directly and instead use the old libesd to access it. [15:26] sipior well i dont have 2gb to spare on my hd [15:26] SliderMan: but sure, make a partition on that disk, and you should be all set. [15:26] any idea how to echo no. of time through script [15:26] cellofellow: i am guessing thats just the search [15:26] yowshi➜ yes, that's right. [15:26] sipior ill try it now, thanks alot for helping! [15:26] cellofellow: well then i will uninstall pulse audio. it almost daily [15:26] SliderMan: yep, no trouble [15:26] yowshi➜ pulseaudio isn't the most stable around. [15:26] yowshi➜ I think there are instructions to remove it. let me check [15:27] cellofellow: i cant just remove the pulseaudio entry in synaptic? [15:27] i want to print blank space for no. of time through bash [15:27] yowshi: I would not recommend that [15:28] yowshi➜ not that simple, 'cause gstreamer and such need somewhere to send the sound. At the least you'll have to reconfigure stuff to directly access alsa. [15:28] Berserkur: why is that [15:28] yowshi➜ PA sits between your apps and alsa, just so you know. === hemanth is now known as hemanth_hm [15:29] yowshi: I don't know what you're trying to accomplish but that would almost certainly give you more problems than solving anything === hemanth_hm is now known as hemant [15:29] Berserkur: pulse audios emulation of esd crashes damn near daily for me so i am trying to fix that issue [15:29] some days it crashes multiple times [15:30] yowshi➜ PA doesn't crash daily for me but it crashes now and again, and all I need to do is run "pulseaudio" with the run dialog (or Do) and it's back. [15:30] Hi I need some help my computer just told me I have a virus and I never have had this problem with Ubuntu before so I need to know how to deal with it [15:30] what runlevel should i boot into so that X doesn't run? [15:30] hi people [15:30] i was wondering if there is a way to recover an overwritten file by error ? [15:30] cellofellow: specifically though it causes pidgin to crash when someting else uses the sound or tries to use the sound at the same time as pidhgin === hemant is now known as ubuntugeek [15:30] how do I connect to a specific server that's not on the list? [15:30] using compizconfig, and tryin to figure out how to enable the cube?!? i enabled the settings, and its not a cube, but a 3d window... lol === ubuntugeek is now known as nerdgod [15:30] cellofellow: which can happen several times a day [15:31] morey: what program were you running to determine that you had a virus? [15:31] yowshi➜ sounds like you have pidgin trying to access alsa directly which it shouldn't be doing, it should be going through pulseaudio. [15:31] I was just online at myspace [15:31] yowshi➜ pidgin never conflicts with PA for me. [15:31] morey: you're sure this wasn't some "You have a virus!!" pop-up advertising nonsense? [15:31] yes [15:31] * cellofellow thinks pidgin has native pulseaudio support and doesn't go through the esd emulation. [15:32] cellofellow: pidgin is configured on automatic for sound [15:32] my computer did a scan [15:32] morey: then what program reported the virus? [15:32] yowshi➜ then it's your GNOME settings. [15:32] is there a runlevel where X is not loaded? [15:32] I'm not sure [15:32] cellofellow: yeah my sound is set to alsa which i prefer because i found it works better for everything else [15:33] danfg: not by default anymore, but you can set up the symlinks in /etc/rc.d to create one. [15:33] Ok stupid quick question, which would be the best FTP Daemon to use on a ubuntu dedicated web server ? :) [15:33] mord-- do another scan and paste bin the results [15:33] morey-- === nerdgod is now known as hemanth [15:33] !best | Bojan_BG [15:33] Bojan_BG: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:33] hello sir how can i use "cout" key word in c++ programming when i use plz help me [15:33] yowshi➜ but the trouble with alsa is it's a bit dodgy on its hardware or software mixing support which pulseaudio rocks at. Conflicts abound when you do that. If only 1 process is accessing alsa, in this case pulseaudio, it makes things a lot simpler. [15:33] W..W..W..askim...C..O..M..T..R [15:33] W..W..W..askim...C..O..M..T..R [15:33] sipior: what runlevel do u suggest i use for not having X loaded? i mean, which runlevel links should i remove?

[15:35] ok I picked FTPD ! :) [15:35] Does Ubuntu have a program to run that I can test my computer for virus?

[15:35] yowshi➜ like I've said before, most gnome apps expect an esd-compatible sound server so removing it will only confuse them. If you want to remove pulse then go ahead, google it. I've gotten pulse working fine for me (except Audacity but Jokosher looks promising). [15:35] morey: yes you can use clamav or some such to scan Windows for viruses [15:36] i mean "cout<<"hello "; " is not working in terminal . how can i use it what is #c++ [15:36] sipior: i'll pick 3 then. are there any major differences between the functionality of the runlevels? i mean, will i miss something if i use runlevel 3? [15:36] thansk [15:36] thanks* [15:36] danfg: I think there isn't any difference anymore. [15:36] !runlevels [15:36] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [15:36] danfg: you can make sure that /etc/rc2.d and /etc/rc3.d are identical, save for the change to the gdm symlink. they should then be exactly the same. [15:36] i mean "cout<<"hello "; " is not working in terminal . how can i use it what is #c++ [15:37] hi, I'm still trying to find a solution to a video/audio sync problem I'm having. The files I need to edit are encoded with 44.1k audio, but Kino (and everything else I've tried so far) imports them as 48k audio, and so they get out of sync. Can someone help find me a workaround so I can stop editing video in windows? [15:37] Riya: it cannot work "in terminal" if by terminal you mean the linux shell, as it's a C++ instruction. #c++ is an IRC channel, just like this one. [15:37] danfg: save for running X, of course :-) [15:37] grawity, sipior: ok, thanks a lot guys :) === harry is now known as Guest88549 [15:38] is any possible to use cout in c++ programming [15:38] <_Rocket> is there any console player with a spectrum analyzer? i think i had one, but i don't remember it's name [15:39] Riya: you would be better off asking your questions in #c++ [15:39] Riya: /join #c++ [15:39] Riya: your question has been answered twice now, and you're still in the wrong channel [15:39] hola [15:39] help [15:40] yep there is no floppy in 8.10 [15:40] Can anybody walk me through running a windows based program on ubuntu.

[15:53] wrong chann, supposed to be in +1 :) [15:54] I used to have madwifi installed a while ago, and I'm wondering if there might be something left over from that confusing things. I found a blacklist for ath5k from it and have disabled that. Don't know what else could be doing it.

[17:53] anyone plz? [17:53] <[MindVirus]> So that would include GNOME. [17:53] hello [17:54] <[MindVirus]> But if GNOME is not updated in the repositories, kepi, then you will have the most recent version in the repositories but not the most recent version in general. [17:54] Jeruvy, how would I install .deb if already in the system? [17:54] after i installed version ...24 of the linux kernel, my display now always starts dimmed, is there any way i could fix that? [17:54] <[MindVirus]> Sadly, kepi, the repository version is 2.22. [17:54] n8tuser: if am able to copy data to this parition that is marked as "ntfs", would you consider it to be formatted as ntfs as well? [17:54] [MindVirus], not at this time no. [17:54] <[MindVirus]> So you'll have to wait until the new version is added to the repos. [17:55] <[MindVirus]> sysdoc, :( [17:55] hello [17:55] * armence calls for help with a small and pathetic voice... [17:55] 2.26.7-14, not 24, sorry [17:55] rhineheart_m: if you have to use deb's then you need to solve the dependancies by getting those packages and installing them. apt-get or synaptic will take care of that, with dpkg you're running on manual. [17:55] [MindVirus]: okay, can i download it from their website and install/upgrade it on my 8.10? [17:55] [MindVirus], I know I suck,,,:) [17:55] what's better on c2d? 32- or 64-bit ubuntu? [17:55] <[MindVirus]> sysdoc, no problem. :) [17:55] or it doesn't matter? [17:55] <[MindVirus]> kepi, you probably shouldn't just download it. [17:55] <[MindVirus]> Use a package, kepi. [17:56] Jeruvy, but I downloaded the .deb from canon for CUPS.. what dependencies I lack? [17:56] [MindVirus]: okay, i'll just wait for 9.04 [17:56] <[MindVirus]> :) [17:56] rhineheart_m: read your pastebin, the packages are listed there. [17:56] oh, nevermind ;-) [17:57] exit [17:57] fluitfries-> i guess so, if you can copy a file and read one from it [17:57] * fluitfries nods. [17:57] Jeruvy, but I tried sudo apt-get install libatk1.0-0 but returns with error [17:57] * armence whimpers and really hopes someone will help him find his mouse... [17:59] anyone ever used microemulator? [18:01] jkdb cbndn clsdc [18:01] rhineheart_m: did you try to add the printer from system-> administration -> printing ? [18:01] brb [18:02] WINDOWS RULES [18:02] Jeruvy, I got it! thanks.. nope.. I'm using cups in webgui [18:02] Hi, I'm having a problem with ifconfig. As a user without root privilages ifconfig returns that /proc/net/dev doesn't exist. How can this be fixed? [18:02] hi oran101 === joetheodd_ is now known as joetheodd [18:02] hi joetheodd [18:03] hi. i guess is an offtopic question but i`ll try : there is any colaborative script doing the following : we are 2 person - a team - who work together for a website , a php based one , but we work on the same project, same sources , and sometimes we don`t know what other do ... we want a script , maibe a GPL script doing this , something with tasks, files modified, etc . any help ? [18:03] My conky via tcp_portmon is showing connections from Akamai technologies ? What the heck it that? [18:03] Does anyone here know anything about troubleshooting Tor/Privoxy? [18:04] Hi guys [18:04] How come my ubuntu is acting really slow is there tools that i can use to fix this? [18:05] Having a problem logging in (on ubuntu). I'm currently connected to my headless server because I got an error logging in with putty. I try to log in with my normal user and I get this: setuid: Resource Temporarily Unavailable. However, I can log in as root (which is why I'm logged in as root). Any ideas on what I need to do to fix this? Google didn't provide much help [18:06] Anyone out there have experience moving /boot to it's own partition? [18:06] Can anyone here help me troubleshoot Tor/Privoxy? Tor is working fine, but I'm getting a forwarding error every time I try to access a .onion address. [18:06] how come my ubuntu is really slow? [18:07] hello? [18:08] is anyone there?

[18:09] lol why is there 1424 people here [18:09] can anyone help me, i have ubuntu 8.10 on a asus eee pc 900, i cant connect to any type of WPA encrytped wireless network, i have tried WICD network manager to no avail. ive read that this is a regrression bug in 8.10, are there any fixes? [18:09] ya [18:09] EEE pcs are evil :| [18:10] Have you tried ndiswrapper though? [18:10] Krine11, well it got tired [18:10] what is the best way to clone one hdd to another? [18:10] thanit got tired [18:10] :-D [18:10] how do i fix this? [18:10] elda: no, i dont belive that its a driver issue as i have had to go through a bunch of garbage to get the wireless to work at all. [18:10] sera a tutti [18:10] alec: might try #eeepc as well. :) [18:11] Krine11, let it rest, really i dont know [18:11] Hello guys, Im currently building a new PC to replace my old one that died.I hope its ok to ask here not sure where else to go, I am building a ubuntu system of course, but my question is if someone can explain to me how dual channel memory works and what slots I should use on my new mobo here. [18:11] omg.. [18:11] i need real answers lol [18:12] Mark_Jones, alternating slots, ie first and third or second and fourth [18:12] Mark_Jones: it simply means you should add the ram in identical pairs, otherwise you get no advantage [18:12] Mark_Jones, if you fill all available slots it doesnt matter [18:12] Mark_Jones, memory sticks have to be the same size, timings etc. [18:13] New at this help [18:13] Ok cool. I have 2 1024MB 8500 ram so slots 1 & 3 then? [18:13] usser: timings? [18:13] Mark_Jones: confirm with the document for your board :) [18:14] Yeah its not the clearest [18:14] I have 2 yellow and 2 black slots. [18:14] Another question [18:14] should i use antivirus firewall antispyware for ubuntu? [18:14] kepi, http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/overclocking/AMD/memory/131 [18:14] So, I do programming, and I was wondering what I need to do so I can run my programs without type ./ === mafsi is now known as mafsi`away [18:15] has anyone had problems connecting to wpa encrypted networks in ubuntu 8.10 [18:15] Krine11: firewall i agree, others no [18:15] Good morning. [18:15] Krine11: a firewall is good to have (and one is included already in ubuntu, see firestarter) but the others are optional. [18:15] armence: PATH=.:$PATH # but you should google why this isn't recommended security-wise [18:15] why should i have a firewall than? [18:15] armence, you have to add . to your path [18:15] I'm having a very strange issue, fdisk shows all of sda partitions (which are ntfs) but I can't mount them or run ntfsfix on them === hemanth is now known as hemanth_hm [18:15] alec: only with crappy AP's ;) [18:15] rickest, PATH=$PATH:. [18:16] As in, if I say ntfsfix /dev/sda1 it says it doesn't exist [18:16] And it doesn't, if I check /dev only sda is there [18:16] rickest, putting current directory first in the path is not a good idea [18:16] ricket: Thanks... [18:16] However, fdisk shows the partitions [18:16] (as sda1, sda2, etc) [18:16] what is the best firewall to use? [18:16] Any ideas or recommendations? [18:17] any1 know how to convert .mkv files to avchd? [18:17] Krine11: u already have a firewall just install firestarter or watchdog [18:17] What does [success=1 default=ignore] do to pam authentication? http://pastebin.ca/1388117 [18:17] has anyone played w/ Ubuntu 9.04? [18:17] troll, yes [18:18] will installing a firewall slow my computer or nothing is really affected [18:18] Are there a lot of changes usser [18:19] Krine11: it wont but it might block some connections [18:19] any1 know how to convert .mkv files to .avchd files? [18:19] I'm having a very strange issue, fdisk shows all of sda partitions (which are ntfs) but I can't mount them or run ntfsfix on them ntfsfix says /dev/sdaX doesn't exist but they show up in fdisk [18:19] troll, there are some substantial changes for me. Like new intel graphics driver, which is absolutely awesome. [18:19] how can I check which processes eat up all my memory (they don't show up in system monitor) [18:19] ? [18:20] but do i really need a firewall because i use frostwire and just surf the web and play some online games [18:20] can this mean i should use a firewall [18:20] hi, I'm trying to use the font 7x14 with gnome-terminal. I can open 'emacs -font 7x14' and it uses the font, so it looks like it's installed correctly but for some reason my gnome-terminal profiles can't see it [18:20] all right, so I used "cp -ax / /somenetworked drive" (actually I had to mount ' / ' as nfs share but anyways) [18:20] do I have to create a swap on the new drive, and I probably have to repair the grub also right ? [18:20] troll, apart from that. not much has changed as with any incremental release there are updates to most of the packages, gnome 2.26, python2.6/3.0 and so on [18:20] hi [18:20] is it possible to install jaunty's libc6 besides the one provided in intrepid? [18:20] SliMM: ps [18:21] I'm using the LiveCD to try out Ubuntu before going with the full installation on an older PC. [18:21] WINDOWS RULES [18:21] oran101: of course it does [18:21] oran101: no, it doesn't [18:21] Krine11, with linux you already have a firewall installed, you generally dont need any extra packages, since unlike with windows most ports are closed by default [18:21] My problem is that I am a bit confused as to how to mount ZIP drives. [18:21] usser, should i wait for the full release to upgrade? [18:21] ok [18:21] I popped in a new ZIP disk, and nothing happens. [18:22] chris-rc1, messing with libc is not a good idea [18:22] but why is my computer still slow than? [18:22] The ZIP Drive (IDE) is detected properly. [18:22] Sh3r1ff: nope, it only shows bash and ps [18:22] I got ur attention , man I nvr thought it would work [18:23] slimm: you have to give options to the command ;) [18:23] SliMM: try ps -ef [18:23] usser, I'm using a laptop with an intell chipset. [18:24] troll, which video card model? lspci | grep VGA [18:24] How come when i load my computer i recive that it cannot display the video mode and i wnat to tget rid of this since i use ubuntu as my main os now [18:24] I'm having a very strange issue, fdisk shows all of sda partitions (which are ntfs) but I can't mount them or run ntfsfix on them ntfsfix says /dev/sdaX doesn't exist but they show up in fdisk [18:24] Sh3r1ff: well, how can I find the one that eats up at least 1G of memory? it doesn't list memory in the table [18:25] Lol, what is the root password for a LiveCD? [18:25] SliMM: try ps -auxwww [18:25] anyone have a good howto for installing rtorrent with 8.10 server? [18:25] tornbuntu: 'root' i guess [18:26] i need to run *.bin file how to do it? [18:26] I'm having a very strange issue, fdisk shows all of sda partitions (which are ntfs) but I can't mount them or run ntfsfix on them ntfsfix says /dev/sdaX doesn't exist but they show up in fdisk [18:26] usser, dont know It's a HP pavillion dv2000 [18:26] Mamama: check this topic out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1886 [18:26] kepi, nope, it's not root :( [18:26] troll, run lspci | grep VGA [18:26] coolmadmax: ./* [18:26] !root [18:26] 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 [18:26] tornbuntu: then it aint got a password [18:26] I tried no password as well. [18:27] guys am using dell inspiron 6400 on ubuntu 8.10 but i cant turn on my wifi [18:27] Basically, I can't run gparted or mount anything, since I'm not "root". :P [18:27] picassotamus thanks [18:27] tornbuntu: r u using a live cd ? [18:28] oran101, yes I am. [18:28] Booting right off the CD and trying it out before I do a HD installation. [18:28] tornbuntu: that's impossible i always use livecd for gparted and it neva ask for root privilages [18:28] I'm having a very strange issue, fdisk shows all of sda partitions (which are ntfs) but I can't mount them or run ntfsfix on them ntfsfix says /dev/sdaX doesn't exist but they show up in fdisk [18:28] This is Xubuntu 8.10, and it's saying I need root privileges. [18:29] Mamama: did you read the link I gave you? You need to MOUNT the drives before you can use them... [18:29] There we go! [18:29] Simply using "sudo" works. [18:29] Jeruvy before ntfsfix? [18:29] And it asks for no password. [18:29] I can't mount them [18:29] it says they don't exist! [18:29] Mamama: yes, read the link, lots of good info [18:29] ok, this is strange, my pc uses 2.6 GB of RAM, yet the memory used by all the processes only adds up to about 500 MB [18:30] Can you relink? sorry I missed it [18:30] Mamama: check this topic out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1886 [18:30] I was on another screen on google googling [18:30] SliMM, ubuntu caches most frequent disk accesses into memory to speed things up [18:30] SliMM: where do you see that it uses 2.6 GB? [18:30] Okay, here is my next problem, how do you get ZIP disks to work with Ubuntu (or Linux, for that matter?) [18:30] how do i debug the problem if ubuntu unexpectedly reboots? [18:31] Sh3r1ff: system monitor, top, htop [18:31] tornbuntu: type "sudo su " then u can use all the other commands without using sudo [18:31] My ZIP Drive is /dev/sda [18:31] oran101, sudo -i instead of sudo su [18:31] There are no partitions on the zip disk. [18:31] Jeruvy: Well, here's the issue, fdisk sees sda1, sda2, etc, but there's no /dev/sda1 or 2 or X [18:31] Using base Ubuntu (Intrepid +Gnome), how do I install the version of Amarok that uses kde4 libraries? I don't know which package to install ... [18:31] usser: well, hmm, how can I see what that cache is? [18:31] usser, gm965/gl960 [18:32] I know how to mount partitions [18:32] SliMM: memory is also used for cache [18:32] gparted gives me "Input/output error during read on /dev/sda" (/dev/sda is the ZIP drive.) [18:32] alguem usa o Big linux? [18:32] troll, yep i got the same card, vast improvements for me. i can finally run windows games with wine at an acceptable speed [18:32] Sh3r1ff: yes, but this is the first time it got so high [18:32] where do i get wine? [18:32] Mamama: pastebin your fstab file [18:33] SliMM, run top, it'll tell you how much memory you're using [18:33] One sec [18:33] I mean, it usually goes as high as 1GB as long as I don't have a memory leak in my programs [18:33] usser, will this let me run WOW in wine now without crashing? [18:33] jdwarta1: on liquor stores [18:33] should i use apt-get install wine ? [18:33] !wine [18:33] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [18:33] Hi, does anyone know how can I format an ext3 partition and set an inode size of 128? [18:34] Jeruvy http://www.pastebin.ca/1388152 [18:34] troll, i can run warcraft 3 with decent speed now, so yea i assume it'll work, provided you dont crank up the settings all the way [18:34] !wl [18:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about wl [18:34] Jeruvy Although fstab isn't important when the partitions don't show up on /dev [18:34] lol [18:34] jdwarta1: if u got ubuntu tweak u can install itfrom there or from add/remove [18:34] Mamama: thanks I'll take a peek, just want to check for conflicts. [18:34] wine..........the program [18:34] what is the equivalent of setxkbmap for the console? [18:34] :-D [18:35] usser: well, it tells me I'm using ~3184156k [18:35] usser, I'm really new to Ubuntu...but I like it much better than suse [18:35] u mean.......i can install with the command line in terminal [18:35] ?

[18:36] Jeruvy, sdb is flashdrive [18:36] ok.............wine is installing i used the command prompt thingy in terminal [18:36] Where I'm trying to fix sda [18:36] And running ubuntu on that flash drive [18:37] oran101: what's with u and 'windows'? u tryna sneak out [18:37] un|matrix: maybe its overheating if its a laptop [18:37] oran101: not a laptop and it's definitely not overheating [18:37] sudo apt-get install wine [18:37] oran101: this will be your only warning - stop trying to troll about windows [18:37] Mamama: ok so, then you need to run (forgot what you were running) on /mnt/sda1 or whatever is the appropriate partition. [18:37] SliMM, see the %MEM column, use SHIFT+> SHIFT+< until list is sorted by %MEM [18:37] usser: sorting doesn't help, if it's a process that's using up this much memory, it doesn [18:37] I've just gotten Multisync working with my WM6 PDA. Cool stuff, works fine, but it would be cool if I could sync automagically sync when the device is connected. Anyone know of a program that could help me do that? [18:37] hi, does any one know of a way to route mic o/p to speaker? [18:37] show up [18:37] Jeruvy it says /dev/sda1 doesn't exist [18:38] Jeruvy And indeed there is no entry for sda1 on /dev/, however fdisk shows [18:38] wow the OP are mad nw [18:38] it [18:38] SliMM, sort until first process in the list has the highest number in %MEM column [18:38] Mamama: not /dev ... use the mount point .... /mnt/sda sorry. [18:38] usser, I need a gps program that runs in linux. [18:39] Jeruvy $MFT has invalid magic [18:39] i love ubuntu [18:39] SliMM, you can use htop, its interface is a little more friendly and the number are less confusing [18:39] <[MindVirus]> oran101, think about this rationally. You can get kicked out and piss people off (overall make the world a worse place) or you can play by the rules, which are generous and lenient, and try to help people with their problems. [18:39] That's why I want to run ntfsfix to fix it [18:39] usser: yes, I did that, what next? :-) — it's 1% i.e. ~40M [18:39] /j ##linux [18:39] i asked can i connect with wireless to two or more devices at the same time [18:39] its way better than XP [18:39] troll, wouldnt know much about gps on linux sorry [18:40] troll, try google earth [18:40] oran got his own emotional problems [18:40] <[MindVirus]> kepi, could you explain your question a little more? [18:40] I got cod4 working in ubuntu [18:40] <[MindVirus]> kepi, don't fan the fire. [18:40] Mamama: so ntfsfix /mnt/sda generates an error? Sorry I know nothing of ntfsfix, I'd seek windows-specific recovery tools. [18:40] but it doesnt run in full screen mode [18:40] usser, tought that i was pushing my luck...:-) [18:40] <[MindVirus]> kepi, you want to connect to two different wireless networks? [18:41] I can still see taskbar at the bottom [18:41] There has been some concern in the past (as late as last year) that 64-bit flavor was still lacking in the package volume/support area. Am I going to have a hard time finding packages in 64-bit, or hsa that pretty much been taken care of now? [18:41] how do I enable fullscreen? [18:41] usser: gpsdrive is one I believe [18:41] <[MindVirus]> rhsanborn, it's at the point where basically all development is equivalent. [18:41] [MindVirus]: i want to use wireless to connect to internet and sync files with other pc? [18:41] Jeruvy yep, $MFT has invalid magic too [18:41] usser: well? [18:41] <[MindVirus]> kepi, that is not a problem. [18:41] MindVirus: Exactly what I needed. Thank you. [18:41] hi, does any one know of a way to loop-back mic o/p to speaker? [18:41] Jeruvy thing is, I'm on a netbook so no cd/dvd drive [18:41] kepi: invest in a good ap ;) [18:41] Otherwise I would've run chkdsk on it maaaany years ago [18:41] <[MindVirus]> rhsanborn, wait a second. [18:42] waiting [18:42] SliMM, run htop [18:42] SliMM, see what it says in terms of memory usage [18:42] Sh3r1ff: xplain plz [18:42] kepi: the wireless will only connect to one device at at time but you can certainly sync files with the other pc through the network [18:42] <[MindVirus]> Just so you know, rhsanborn, there may be some arbitrary problems or slowdowns with plugins from what I remember. Even this, AFAIK, has been phased out. Other than that, you're set. [18:42] usser: same [18:42] guys have a weird issue on my desktop ubuntu i have setup ssh [18:42] kepi: you want to connect to the internet and share files with another pc right? [18:42] Mamama: well I'm out of suggestions :( acronis or driveimage xml to pull the data off, maybe run smarttools on it to see if the drive is fixable. [18:42] MindVirus: Can you give (even a non-real) example? [18:43] but when a user logs in they auth ok and are kicked out a second after logging in [18:43] how hard would it be to add another hard drive to my system and move /home to it? [18:43] Sh3r1ff: yes [18:43] Can anyone get vmware to work in ubuntu 8.10 [18:43] <[MindVirus]> rhsanborn, there was at one point in time when the Flash plugin for 64-bit sucked hard.. [18:43] <[MindVirus]> *hard. [18:43] but the logs are fine it says Apr 10 19:41:50 r22093 sshd[8478]: Accepted password for root from *IP* port 3392 ssh2 [18:43] Jeruvy :( [18:43] <[MindVirus]> rhsanborn, but it seems to run flawlessly now. [18:43] kepi: buy a wireless router ;) [18:43] I'm having speed issue over ssh; is there anything I could do to speed it up? [18:43] <[MindVirus]> No... [18:43] what programs do i need to make deb package [18:43] <[MindVirus]> No, don't listen to that. [18:43] <[MindVirus]> kepi, here. [18:44] Sh3r1ff: :-( [18:44] MindVirus: very good. I'll keep an eye out for it. Thank you. [18:44] MindVirus: flash still acts up on 64bit [18:44] So no ideas regarding the inode size? [18:44] [MindVirus]: yes? [18:44] SliMM, i dont know, if it doesnt show up when you sort by memory usage, i really have no idea [18:44] <[MindVirus]> How will you be transferring files between computers, kepi? [18:44] <[MindVirus]> PokerFacePenguin, tell that to rhsanborn. [18:44] Sh3r1ff: he must have a wireless router since he connects to the internet.. I get the impression that kepi thinks that he has to connect directly to the other computer to pass files. [18:44] Hi everyone [18:44] Was it flash or java that they just released a native package for 64 bit on linux before MS or OSX? [18:44] scunizi: could be he's leeching of his neighbours ;) [18:44] [MindVirus]: by browsing in the other computer shared folder [18:44] how can I make cod4 full screen? [18:45] usser: i have started epiphany and now it gets listed with 8 processes (different pids, the rest is identical) [18:45] can someone tell why he doesn't like the mount point? -> http://monoport.com/40345 [18:45] <[MindVirus]> kepi, I mean, what protocol? [18:45] <[MindVirus]> FTP? Samba? [18:45] rhsanborn: dunno bout that one...i just update when its time [18:45] Sh3r1ff: yea.. but still do-able even then.. [18:45] is there a way to reapply udev rules to a device (hard drive) once you have undone them, like unmounted the hard drive [18:45] [MindVirus]: i dont know i just use the default network browser [18:46] [MindVirus]: that comes with ubuntu [18:46] WAR-JC: that is not an ubuntu support question.. google code4 ubuntu or look for a cod4 channel on irc [18:46] <[MindVirus]> kepi, I don't know what you're saying. Does the other computer run Ubuntu? [18:46] [MindVirus]: i think wat kepi is asking is how to set one computer as a repository to the other, the easiest way to do this is to use the wifi adhoc feature [18:46] [MindVirus]: no, it runs window [18:46] yes oran101 you highlighted me [18:46] usser, one last thing. should i wait for the full upgrade to upgrade? [18:47] <[MindVirus]> oran101, he wants to share files without disconnection. [18:47] troll, yes, definetely, its a little flaky right now, upgrades coming out every day, some break things [18:47] <[MindVirus]> In Windows, how will you be sharing files? [18:48] [MindVirus]: damn, forget it i'll just use external hdd then [18:48] usser, thanks 4 all the help [18:48] troll, no problem [18:48] hi all [18:48] <[MindVirus]> kepi, I'd be able to help better if you were to give more accurate details. [18:48] then he can use the bluetooth adhoc [18:48] kepi: how are you connected to the internet [18:48] [MindVirus]: it's making me crazy now [18:48] <[MindVirus]> oran101, the problem: there may or may not be a bluetooth receiver/sender. [18:49] this way he wouldnt have to disconect [18:49] <[MindVirus]> oran101, the best way I see is definitely FTP. [18:49] Sh3r1ff: now am using edge [18:49] <[MindVirus]> Or Samba. [18:49] is there a way to reapply udev rules to a device (hard drive) once you have undone them, like unmounted the hard drive, without having to say, unplugging and replugging it back or removing and reinserting the driver [18:49] can someone tell why he doesn't like the mount point? -> http://monoport.com/40345 [18:49] my audio stopped working in ubuntu 8.10 is there a way I can restart the service without restarting the computer? [18:49] wat: how may I be of ur service [18:50] MindVirus: other pc is windows, so shared folder on windows is even easier ;) [18:50] <[MindVirus]> kush, sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart [18:50] hi oran101 you highlighted me again [18:50] [MindVirus]: i'll holla at oran 2mrw and we'll try to solve it out [18:50] kepi: i mean with which hardware? [18:50] i dont use ubuntu lol im just here to help people thats how easy ubuntu is to use :) [18:50] <[MindVirus]> Sh3r1ff, which is Samba. === modderx is now known as digitalhav0c [18:50] is there any way i can lock the programs so no one can use them [18:50] really all i have to say is "apt-get" [18:50] Sh3r1ff: usb modem [18:51] <[MindVirus]> demmon, what programs? [18:51] MindVirus: yes, but you don't have to create a samba shared folder ;) [18:51] dunno all the internet programs [MindVirus] [18:51] <[MindVirus]> demmon, so, really, you want to stop a user from using the Internet?

[18:53] <[MindVirus]> He doesn't want to directly connect. [18:53] <[MindVirus]> I mean, he does. [18:54] <[MindVirus]> But it'll be like browsing the web. [18:54] I'd like to know if there are any (serious) problems with the EXT4 filesystem (ubuntu 9.04 alpha users?) [18:54] <[MindVirus]> You can have more than one webpage open at once.

[18:55] <[MindVirus]> wat, is that a question or an exclamation? [18:55] i dont know [18:55] <[MindVirus]> Sh3r1ff, no. [18:55] MindVirus: my bad ;) [18:55] maybe , because it seems almst too easy .... lol [18:55] is it possible to double-click an executable in nautilus and have it run in a terminal that stays open? [18:56] <[MindVirus]> Sh3r1ff, no problem! [18:56] baz: yes [18:56] Can anyone please help me find information about manual partitioning and making filesystems? I need to format an ext3 partition with an inode size of 128 [18:56] <[MindVirus]> baz, yes, but you'll have to run some bash trickery. [18:56] [MindVirus]: i dont know how to set the pass for the new user [18:56] !partitining | cmumanz [18:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about partitining [18:56] !partitining [18:56] !gparted [18:56] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program.

[18:56] Sh3r1ff, [MindVirus], any hints on what i should look into? [18:56] Can I stop reading input with anything else than CTRL+Z in this syntax: copy(istream_iterator(cin), istream_iterator(),back_inserter(e)); [18:57] already tried gparted [18:57] !partitioning [18:57] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap === sacker is now known as SackeR[] [18:57] <[MindVirus]> demmon, set password by hand.

[18:58] brb [18:58] On the Jaunty beta page http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/9.04/beta/ there is a i.MX51 Babbage board mentioned, anyone has any idea where I could buy that? [18:58] is there a release date for ubuntu 9.0? [18:58] lowlycoder: 23rd April [18:58] Sh3r1ff, would that then be the default for all executables, or just the one [18:58] !jaunty > naknomik [18:58] naknomik, please see my private message [18:58] hi. i need help on how i can edit a file in recovery mode, can anyone help please ?? [18:58] baz: it's a global setting [18:59] <[MindVirus]> mib_p0ul5tsv, there are different forms of editing. You want to edit a text file? [18:59] <[MindVirus]> An image? [18:59] <[MindVirus]> A video? [18:59] <[MindVirus]> A document? [18:59] [MindVirus]: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:59] [MindVirus] : it is a txt file [18:59] <[MindVirus]> Yeah, yeah. [18:59] mib_p0ul5tsv: vi or vim? [18:59] mib_p0ul5tsv: or use the live CD and you can use gedit [18:59] _Brun0_, for ubuntu i'd say media [18:59] reinstalling is your best bet. [18:59] Sh3r1ff: vi [18:59] <[MindVirus]> mib_p0ul5tsv, use the root console, and then use a console-based text editor, like nano or vi. [19:00] Sh3r1ff, thanks! Wasnt exactly what i was looking for but i think i'm even better off for it [19:00] mib_p0ul5tsv: my suggestion was to use vi or vim ;) [19:00] don't forget to format the drive first [19:00] baz: what do you mean then? [19:00] [MindVirus]: the problem is i edited the xorg.conf file and need to no the code [19:00] Sh3r1ff, i was thinking just for that one exe [19:01] <[MindVirus]> mib_p0ul5tsv, so open up a root console from recovery mode and nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:01] Sh3r1ff, per prog setting, rather than global [19:01] [MindVirus]: thanks going to try now [19:01] <[MindVirus]> :) [19:01] Sh3r1ff, but i think i like this even better [19:01] baz: don't know if it is possible per executable [19:02] <[MindVirus]> The terminal thing? [19:02] MindVirus: yeah [19:02] how to install .bin file program. (i have download google earth web)? [19:02] <_Brun0_> baz, i'm using ubuntu 8.10 alternative install. it only have icewm.. i'm going to avoid gnome/kde stuff. so you're suggestion still holds? [19:02] <[MindVirus]> Sh3r1ff, how did you do it for each program?! [19:02] .bin? [19:02] info bin [19:02] <_Brun0_> baz, your* [19:03] hey mindvirus, this didnt work sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart [19:03] MindVirus: in the terminal profiles settings, go to title and command > when commands exit > select hold the terminal open [19:03] <[MindVirus]> Ah. [19:03] Sh3r1ff, is it possible to have some sort of "execute" as an option on a file's right-click menu? [19:03] I can wait if you are over loaded with questions... [19:03] baz: click on open? ;) [19:03] <[MindVirus]> No problem. [19:04] <[MindVirus]> kush, well, let's find out if there's a problem first. [19:04] _Brun0_, at the end of the day it really makes no difference, but I'd say that 80%+ of ubuntu users would put it there so it would be more consistent - even given your setup [19:04] <[MindVirus]> Can you try playing some music? There's no sound, ye? [19:04] <[MindVirus]> *yes? [19:04] theuser1: a bin file typically needs to be mounted. VLC will mount a bin, but if it's program data stuff you should try and mount it normally. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=22262 [19:04] Sh3r1ff, open is setup to view the file in text editor [19:04] i no this is alot to ask but can someone post the default xorg.conf so i no wa it looks likes please :) ?? [19:05] <[MindVirus]> mib_p0ul5tsv, Xorg can run without xorg.conf. [19:05] <[MindVirus]> You can remove all that you like. [19:05] baz: open does the same as double click, and what happens can be configured in nautilus [19:05] yes, and when I go to the audio place in system/prefrences the 'test' doesnt work, with the error: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512! [19:05] etc... [19:05] <[MindVirus]> Though I do recommend you making a backup, mib_p0ul5tsv. [19:05] failed to connect: connection refused [19:05] <[MindVirus]> kush, OK, try this. [19:05] <[MindVirus]> Open up a console. [19:05] Sh3r1ff, i would like for double-clcik to open it in a text file (as it is), but would like the option to execute in the context menu - possible? [19:05] [MindVirus]: the problem is , i edited and well it went bad ways, [19:06] <[MindVirus]> mib_p0ul5tsv, of course. That's the only thing that can possibly happen. :) [19:06] <[MindVirus]> Remove all that you may suspect is bad. [19:06] <[MindVirus]> But back up the file first. [19:06] <[MindVirus]> cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [19:06] <[MindVirus]> Then edit. [19:06] <[MindVirus]> kush, then try typing "pulseaudio" and press enter. [19:06] <[MindVirus]> Pastebin the output please. [19:07] baz: i think in nautilus it is not [19:07] <[MindVirus]> Also tell me if it closes. [19:07] How can I set up DNS2GO on my LTS-server? [19:07] [MindVirus]: i cant login due to me editing the main file but i look at it now and well, it looks fine :S the layout is the same as before [19:07] <[MindVirus]> mib_p0ul5tsv, you shouldn't need to login from the root prompt. [19:07] anyone know why i can't type in gdm on initial load? if i switch to a text console, restart gdm then i can usually type fine (appears to be if the init scripts have finished)? [19:07] W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader. [19:08] [MindVirus]: im on, PC not my laptop were ubuntu is on [19:08] E: pid.c: Deamon already running. [19:08] coucou [19:08] E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. [19:08] <[MindVirus]> mib_p0ul5tsv, I don't understand the problem. [19:08] thats it [19:08] <[MindVirus]> kush, next time please use a pastebin. [19:08] <[MindVirus]> Check /topic. [19:08] i got to go, later dudes [19:08] shit, sorryl. [19:08] <[MindVirus]> No biggie. [19:08] hi [19:08] hey, im starting a new x server at :1 but there is no sound, do I need yet another parameter for X? [19:09] MindVirus: i think he means he screwed his xorg.conf [19:09] sir_ade: hi [19:09] How can I make the XOrg System Process quit using so much CPU? [19:09] [MindVirus]: i edited the xorg.conf file and its messed up my Display, meanig everying is like, not showing [19:09] is us.archive.ubuntu.com down? [19:09] <[MindVirus]> mib_p0ul5tsv, right, so after you've backed it up, rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:09] I cant even ping it [19:09] <[MindVirus]> eseven73, nope, it's up. [19:09] hmmm [19:10] ok its back up [19:10] [MindVirus]: heres the thing, i dont have one, thats why i ask if someone nice enought to paste there [19:10] <[MindVirus]> Flare183, try shutting off Compiz. [19:10] <[MindVirus]> Ahh, you don't have one. [19:10] !sound [19:10] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [19:10] [MindVirus]: That's what I thought was doing it. [19:10] [MindVirus]: no [19:10] Hi. With vsftpd, is it possible to specify a particular directory for all users uploading data to? e.g. Rather than uploads going to /home/usera/ftp and /home/userb/ftp, can you specify it so they just upload to (e.g.) /media/raid ? [19:10] <[MindVirus]> mib_p0ul5tsv, here's the thing though -- X should run without an xorg.conf. [19:11] <[MindVirus]> In fact that's when it uses its safest settings. [19:11] <[MindVirus]> So there's least probability of error. [19:11] [MindVirus]: seems not in this case, it has, well messed up, could this be due to the ubuntu 9.04 beta ? [19:11] mib_p0ul5tsv: or boot to the live cd and take a default xorg.conf from there [19:12] hi [19:12] <[MindVirus]> !jaunty > mib_p0ul5tsv [19:12] mib_p0ul5tsv, please see my private message [19:12] can I run dns2go on ubuntu [19:12] ubottu [19:12] <[MindVirus]> mib_p0ul5tsv, problems in 9.04 should be asked in #ubuntu+1. [19:12] I think I have a ubuntu virus or something [19:12] it seems like everything is starting to fail [19:12] now firefox is messing up [19:12] :x [19:13] ill ask there thanks @) [19:13] :)* === kush is now known as kush[a] [19:14] whats the command to open the default terminal in U8.10 [19:14] baz: gnome-terminal [19:14] baz: open a terminal in a terminal ???

With vsftpd, is it possible to specify a particular directory for all users uploading data to? e.g. Rather than uploads going to /home/usera/ftp and /home/userb/ftp, can you specify it so they just upload to (e.g.) /media/raid (but _NOT_ /media/raid/usera/ftp or /media/raid/userb/ftp) ? OR do I need to use a different FTP server? [19:16] console tool yes [19:16] mechtn: If you want output on a web page, try rrdtool/mrtg [19:16] Is there a reason why git package refers to gnuit? [19:16] baz: i think that changes both ways how you can open afile, but you can try though [19:16] naw just need something quick and dirty at the console [19:16] so i can see my speedtest info [19:16] baz: trial and error is the best way to learn ;) [19:17] mechtn: tcpdump === kush[a] is now known as kush [19:17] =/ [19:17] 8.04能用NV6200显卡吗？ [19:17] mechtn: also, bmon, ethstatus [19:17] baz: Unfortunately, nobody here speaks Chinese.

(for something like 20sec each time) does anyone know why? what could be the reason for it? [19:21] Is firestarter running? Is there a way i can be sure, in my own furry little mind that it is running when the icon is not in the task panel? [19:21] <[MindVirus]> I have to get a phone call. [19:21] is there a way to launch a command in terminal so that it opens another terminal and runs - for example gnome-terminal -execute start.sh [19:21] kush: clam av [19:22] thanks [19:22] CAn someone help me with setting up my openvpn server?

[19:22] See, I can know it's running when I log on as admin, but other wise how to tell? [19:23] sir_ade: There's ClamAV, but it's quite pointless since there are no Linux viruses running around.

[19:25] kepi, yes, I know. Of course, there are no rootkits, either. Hence rkhunter doesn't exist [19:25] unless people have been having problems like this, it must be a virus. [19:25] but it is possible that it is just some kind of hardware/software clash [19:25] idk [19:25] paul@kayak:~$ pulseaudio restart [19:25] ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:1 [19:26] E: authkey.c: Failed to open cookie file '/home/paul/.esd_auth': Permission denied [19:26] Hi.

[19:26] Sh3r1ff, I am trying to mimic the behaviour of the nautlius dialog asking you to "run a file in terminal" [19:26] kush, define glitched out. could be anything really. [19:26] Sh3r1ff: that is with sudo :P [19:26] I have removed xorg and now Ubuntu is loging in @ bash automatic how do I stop this? [19:26] Hello all. I am using an HP dv6000 laptop with an external mouse and keyboard. The middle click stopped working suddenly. Any suggestions on how I can fix this? [19:26] press left and right key [19:26] perlmonkey, what do the permissions on .esd_auth look like? [19:27] Could someone tell me the name of the device manager like app that was dropped after 6.04?

[19:28] Sh3r1ff: i did that first and it hung, so I CTRL+C'd and then ran sudo on it [19:28] cyrax:try to emulate this by pressing left and right at the some time [19:28] :-) [19:28] no [19:28] also when I right click on the links in firefox occasionally it opens a new window and NOT the menu. This is quite rare but lately the whole system has been quite sluggish. [19:28] perlmonkey: check ps to see if the proces is still running and kill it if it is [19:28] no there was no disk thrashing [19:29] ok will check [19:29] from what I could hear, nothing obvious [19:29] cyrax: that happens to me too sometimes [19:29] yapp_: I don't understand the reasoning behind this. I am currently using that work around but it is not good enough. [19:29] kush, ok. I've had some problems with the system being unresponsive when running Firefox and Rhythmbox. I shut down pulseaudio and it all went nice again....seemed to be some memory leak or similar because all my RAM was used and the swap file was full [19:30] Yeah bro, it very could have been some memory error for sure [19:30] doesnt seem to be running [19:30] Hello there. I need to install bittorent. The command line version. Is there any repository that include this kinda package? [19:30] I was running firefox (youtube) and the movie player or whatever playing music [19:30] Hate to say this in this forum but why has Ubuntu suddenly become sluggish? Firefox cannot keep up with my typing speed. Is this a known problem for this release?

With vsftpd, is it possible to specify a particular directory for all users uploading data to? e.g. Rather than uploads going to /home/usera/ftp and /home/userb/ftp, can you specify it so they just upload to (e.g.) /media/raid (but _NOT_ /media/raid/usera/ftp or /media/raid/userb/ftp) ? Or do I need to use a different FTP server? [19:30] but the music was on my 'windows' drive :p [19:31] well cool, thanks for the insight [19:31] dooner: mtr? [19:31] how can I shut down pulseaudio, I tried to 'restart' it but that dididnt work. [19:32] I also lost the command to restart when I had to restart the computer... [19:32] Just go into your system monitor, right click it and kill it [19:32] kush: that's because there is a "start" in restart ;) [19:32] kandjr (mytraceroute). does a constant traceroute to show PL/Latency etc.. [19:32] ;p Sh3r1ff [19:32] kush: just try to change it in volume control [19:32] I like the command line but okay :) [19:32] i screwed up i think... i chmod'ed my entire /home/baz directory so that only the owner has perms and no-one else... now some progs arent running, and some settings aren't being saved (like in this xchat for example) - any tips on what perms i should renable... perhaps just 'execute' for 'others'? [19:33] hate this computer [19:33] well, do ps -e or similar. find pulseaudio pid then kill -9 pid [19:33] lmao ohhh what a dummy :p [19:33] dooner: the cmd line is: mtr ? [19:34] thankyou guys :) [19:34] Anyone run an FTP server here ? [19:35] dooner: can I do the trace root from the established connection? (both pc are behind firewalls...) [19:35] its also with the 64 bit ubuntu, I dont know if that has something to do with it... [19:36] Better off with the 32 bit AFAIK. It has more "testing" [19:36] kandjar, well if the firewalls eat icmp, i don't think it will help. [19:36] yeah it does eat them. [19:36] Besides you probably get a nano % performance increase with the 64 bit version ;-) [19:36] I need help on sound troubleshooting. A couple of days (or weeks ago) sounds stopped to work almost completely. Was there some updates to Pulseaudio or something related recently? [19:37] I've noticed pulseaudio is flakier of late (in the last few weeks) [19:37] phh45, my sound dies regularly every few days, a restart of pulseaudio doesn't work, a reboot always does [19:37] nothing in dmesg either [19:37] dooner: mmm it seems that one of them doesnt [19:37] so who would fix something like that? [19:37] the community! :p [19:37] whichever chimp broke it ;-) [19:37] ;p [19:38] I am going to school for programming, but i'm not even close to this far :p [19:38] how do i ssh using command line in bash [19:38] ssh hostname -l username? [19:38] dooner: 11 redirection; 3 of them have less than 4% packet loss so far [19:39] XB23: ssh user@hostname or ssh -l username ip-address [19:39] can't ftp localhost using vsftpd on 8.1 desktop; I've restarted it... no change ??? anybody ?? [19:39] anyone using xchat? if so can u tell me what the perms are on your ~/.xchat2 folder? [19:39] kandjar, hmm doesn't seem that bad. [19:40] dooner: so yeah it doesnt seem to have a lot of packet loss... but the connection still stall every minutes for about 20sec.... [19:40] baz: drwx------ 4 doon doon 4096 2009-04-10 14:09 .xchat2/ [19:40] baz: 700 [19:40] Hi, I'm trying to set up touchlib for my computer. The tutorial on it says to dl all the files, then do cmake . and then make but the tutorial doesn't specify what my make file should be.. can anyone help me with this? [19:40] baz: I am... but I don't know how to see the permissions on that folder :) [19:40] thanks guys [19:40] baz: so I will google that and let you know... [19:40] hehe [19:40] oh, nm [19:40] thanks anyways [19:41] avg latency= ~40 [19:41] baz: drwx------ (700) [19:41] Mike_lifeguard, u can do ls -dl ~/Apps/ [19:41] Mike_lifeguard, u can do ls -dl ~/.xchat2 [19:42] ok, thanks [19:42] * Mike_lifeguard tries [19:42] Hi, I had a question about using "talk" . I am having some trouble getting this to work, is there something else that would work similarly? [19:43] <_Brun0_> How is my synaptic touchpad working if my /etc/X11/sorg.conf don't have anything about it? [19:43] frostburn: pulseaudio is not mentioned in dmesg. Could my recent sound problems even be related to RAM addition? Or could it have something to do with kernel update? [19:43] kandjar, so it just hangs for 20sec. Could something in the firewall getting wonky? [19:43] whats the standard ftp server for ubuntu server? [19:43] vsftpd ? [19:43] my video drivers are going crazy now [19:44] lol [19:44] it wants me to update, then it froze [19:44] _Brun0_, magic, xorg.conf is not used for configuration anymore [19:44] Does anyone know where ubuntu store the config for sharing folders through nautilus? [19:44] osotogari→ what do you want to do? [19:44] dooner: I dunno; i m wondering; it definitively doesnt seems right... [19:46] kandjar, I've seen stuff like that, we either a fw gets wonky, or packets start getting lost. Or the isp in the middle starts Screwing with long running session [19:47] mechtn, there is no standard ftp server as far as im aware.. i use proftpd myself. [19:47] @magnetron - Nothing special, I just wanted to see what was stored. [19:48] mechtn, I use proftpd aswell (then again I maintain the tds modules for it :) ) [19:48] dooner: it happened very regurlarly; even during the first minutes of the ssh connection... so I doubt it has something to do with long running session... [19:48] i whish I had a way to find where the data stalls [19:48] baz: I don't see a number like 700 when I do that (though it does show me drwx------... is there something I need to change to see the numerical value? [19:48] Hello, I have a problem with my wireless card on my laptop. It's an Atheros AR928X and it will not stay connected to my home network [19:49] kandjar, tcdump on both ends ? and then compare Timestamps on the packets, (but that sounds like a major pain in the ass..) [19:50] ok now i have to resort to you guys. Im totally new to ubuntu and.. how the hell can i get a good load of video codecs? :P [19:50] what will that tells me? [19:50] Arkku^: you mean non-free ones? [19:50] im having a problem watching this movie and.. thats about it >> [19:50] Mike_lifeguard: try stat or stat === yacc__ is now known as yacc [19:50] dooner: if the timestamp dont match... it will only tells me something stalls the data in between; but I still wont knwo where would I? [19:50] <_Brun0_> usser, where can I configure devices now if xorg is not used anymore? [19:51] phh451, unsure [19:51] Mike_lifeguard: im not quite sure. From the looks of it, the vid is just plain avi [19:51] Arkku^: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - fairly straightforward (ie, I did it) [19:51] how would I go about creating a script so that when a user ssh'd in, it would email me, including the IP of the client? [19:51] Arkku^: dunno if avi should be included or not... but get that package & try again [19:52] JaneDoe, why not just set a notifier on /var/log/auth.log? [19:52] g4lt-lappy: is there anything else that adds to auth.log? [19:53] JaneDoe, console logins as well [19:53] http logins? [19:53] is there a way to make web sites think that u are using a win or mac computer? [19:53] twolane: thank you [19:53] troll: Yes, if you use Firefox there is an extension for that. [19:53] troll: something like agent emulator [19:53] troll: "User agent switcher" I think it's called [19:53] JaneDoe, that's handled by apache logging, not pam [19:54] kandjar, nope, won't be able to tell where, but might be able to see which side is sending the packets and or getting the timeouts or if there are retranmissions. etc.. [19:54] were do i find this [19:54] basically anytime pam gets triggered and only when pam gets triggered, auth.log logs it [19:54] troll: is a firefox extension [19:54] avi isn't a codec, it is a container format [19:54] g4lt-lappy: k, so how do I set a notifier on it? and does ubuntu have postfix or some such already in? [19:55] troll: open Firefox, then to Tools > Add-ons then choose the 'get add-ons' tab and search for it and install it [19:55] dooner: mmmm sounds really painful :) indeed :) [19:55] got it thx [19:56] JaneDoe, it has a MTA. exim I think, and you setting the notifier is prollly as simple as configuring watch or another program to notify on additions to the file [19:56] kandjar, yep. I've been tracking down packet loss in a very big network for the last 2 days.. It is pain. [19:56] g4lt-lappy: k, googling [19:56] dooner: arf :) [19:56] dooner: i ll give it a try [19:57] Does anyone know where ubuntu store the config for sharing folders through nautilus? [19:57] I'm trying qtcreator, but for some reason, the help is not displayed at all. known how to make it work? [19:57] Arkku^, AVI isn't a codec it is a container format.could be one of a multiple of different codecs in there.. [19:58] oh nv. installing the qt4-doc package did the trick. === usser is now known as usser-away [19:59] any1 know how to convert mkv to avchd [19:59] which is latest and most secure [19:59] Ubuntu Server 8.10 or Ubuntu Server 8.04 [19:59] latest 8.10 [20:00] 32 or 64 [20:00] bit [20:00] which is best i can choose either apparently from my host [20:00] phh45 [20:00] dont know [20:01] <_Brun0_> usser-away, i found the solution for my touchpad disable/enable: http://www.samlesher.com/ubuntu/enable-shmconfig-for-synaptics-touchpad-on-ubuntu-intrepid-ibex-810 [20:01] grkblood1, mkv is container format, avchd is a codec. [20:01] hi [20:01] dooner, ok maybe i should explain what im trying to do [20:01] can an existing /dev/sda harddrive with reiserfs paritions be converted to raid1 by adding another drive, changing the /dev/sda paritions to fd, copying over this parition scheme to the 2nd drive, mkreiserfs on the 2nd drive, mknod, and then mdadm to create the array? [20:01] im trying to convert this mkv file so i can burn it and watch it on my ps3 [20:01] or does the existing hdd have to be mkreiserfs'd as well [20:02] im running cod4 with wine and getting 30fps and less using a 9800GT [20:02] anything I can do to improve performance? [20:02] so what do i need to do to get their? [20:02] grkblood1, google for mkv ps3 and I think you should find what you need [20:02] I noticed there have been bug reporting about bugging sound: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/356977 [20:02] WAR-JC, would you get any better in windows ? [20:03] yea, i found mkv2vob but that prog isnt supported on linux [20:03] 125fps in windows [20:03] as far as a ican tell [20:03] geforce 9800GT [20:03] you can pull the audio and video out of the mkv, and then rebuild them into a different container.(like say avi). [20:03] WAR-JC, there are a few other solutions more geared towards games, but some of them are commercial [20:03] WAR-JC, one question however, is what driver are you using? the restricted nvidia driver ? [20:03] not sure im new to linux [20:04] I updated to 180.44 I think [20:04] ok [20:04] dooner, any tipcs on a prog i can use to pull it? [20:04] that is the restricted nvidia driver, good [20:04] grkblood1, you need to know what codec is inside the mkv file [20:04] WAR-JC, I dont know then, i never use wine [20:04] right driver? [20:04] hey, when I'm running darkice, and streaming to a shoutcast, I get this anoying beep sound, anyone knows anything about how to fix it? [20:04] WAR-JC, yes [20:04] ok [20:05] weird cause I see ppl with worse computers get more fps with wine [20:05] cod4 is the only reason I still use windoze [20:05] hi guys how to make xchat my default client for irc links? [20:05] WAR-JC, yes i've heard the same (sometime) [20:05] user agent switcher still does not let me watch video on some of the tv network websights [20:06] dooner, the file says x264 [20:06] oh and i cant spell [20:06] where to look for the application, when firefox prompts me to set my default program for irc links? [20:06] later dudes [20:06] thrillERboy: Firefox Edit -> Preferences -> Applications, I think. [20:06] Wait, nevermind [20:07] dooner, nfo says video: 1280*536 @ 4443 [20:07] grkblood1, You should be able to do it using ffmpeg, but I cannot find the link i remembergin [20:08] Anyone know offhand the console command to install all deb's in a folder? [20:09] BiosElement: sudo dpkg -i *.deb from within the folder [20:09] when I'm running darkice, and streaming to a shoutcast, I get this anoying beep sound, anyone knows anything about how to fix it??? [20:09] mattbd: Thanks for that. Totally slipped my mind for some reason. [20:09] grkblood1, but it has been a while since I've had an mkv to beat on [20:09] grawity, yes! but where should I found the xchat launcher when firefox asks me browse for the application? === usser-away is now known as usser [20:09] g4lt-lappy: its not watch; and not seeing something to watch a file, so I think I'll just roll with a daily crontab email and some grepping of /var/log/auth.log Thanks! [20:09] thrillERboy: Hmm, maybe /usr/bin/xchat ? [20:10] looked at the bin. theres no xchat :/ [20:10] grkblood1, but this might help... http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-515117.html [20:10] thrillERboy: /bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin - look in all three === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [20:11] thrillERboy: Or try typing this command to Terminal: which xchat [20:11] thrillERboy: Try the command "whereis xchat" [20:11] in the man for ffmpeg i dont see the size i mentioned as a supported size [20:11] hmmm, is there a MTA already in ubuntu (desktop)? [20:12] hd720 is 1280*720 [20:12] but my file says its 720, though the sizes dont match up [20:13] where is gives me bunch of links = xchat: /usr/bin/xchat /usr/lib/xchat /usr/include/xchat /usr/share/man/man1/xchat.1.gz [20:13] did an update, now i can't boot. kernel got moved beyond the 137GB limit my BIOS can see. sort of know how to fix it: create small partition for /boot. i'm a little fuzzy on changing grub and some other details. anyone out there a grub guru? [20:13] haha whereis is the most user friendly code I've every seen :D [20:14] mkv isnt an option either in ffmpeg [20:14] JaneDoe: Not by default, but sendmail is available in the repositories [20:14] k thanks mattbd [20:14] when I'm running darkice, and streaming to a shoutcast, I get this anoying beep sound, anyone knows anything about how to fix it??? I've googled but I can't seem to find anything about it [20:15] jaggy: the MPAA asking for license revenue? ;) [20:15] thrillERboy: Sounds like xchat is in /usr/bin/xchat, that's where the binary would normally be anyway by default [20:15] I guess RIAA would be more appropriate [20:15] whats the best virtualization software for ubuntu so i can run VPS's from my ubuntu host? [20:15] vmware? [20:15] what are you talking about JaneDoe [20:16] grkblood1, you need to extract the audio/video streams before you muck with it.

I used postfix once a looong time ago, so I'll go mess about with that [20:18] are you installing using a self burned boot cd?

[20:31] null, afaik wubi doesn't use winders for anything save the filesystem. so just set the same static IP in ubuntu and you should be good === mafsi`away is now known as mafsi [20:31] null: Wubi only helps you to install Ubuntu. The rest is completely unrelated to Windows. [20:31] dooner: Wouldn't you then have an IP conflict? [20:31] null: When you start Ubuntu, Windows isn't running. [20:31] oh [20:31] ok [20:32] I thought it rain like a virtual machine [20:32] *ran [20:32] null: No, Wubi is basically a different way of installing Ubuntu [20:32] hi [20:32] i got problem during installation wow wotlk [20:32] hmm, ok, crap. that may not be in my favor [20:32] null: Why?

[20:36] yeah, that's a little too heavy [20:36] vlcm: I ended up downloading the install, cos installing from disc wasn't working [20:36] i'll just use a shell account [20:36] and fucking use putty :/ [20:36] null: Why not Ubuntu? [20:36] dooner, ive been able to resolve all dependencies except for MP4Box and neroAacEnc do you knwo where i might be able to get these [20:36] null: I recommend Virtualbox, it's a great way to run any OS in a virtual machine, but you need a powerful enough machine really [20:36] because i only need li apps [20:36] LiMaO: :( [20:36] *cli apps [20:37] i'm thinking about installing jaunty. I've never installed a release that wasnt "official", is there anything i should know before i do so? [20:37] grkblood1, no sorry :(. I've seen neroAacEnc some place.

[20:37] WHOIS a2 [20:38] null: If overhead is an issue, you could use a lighter Linux distro. TinyCore Linux is only 10mb and could run with very little overhead.

[20:38] "lots of breakage"... lol that means no [20:39] mattbd: complexity of installation is more like it... i dont want to waste time installing a vm, then a guest, then making sure it works... just so i have vim and screen [20:39] on a multilib version of ubuntu how can i specify to apt that i want to download 64b versions of libraries ? [20:40] null: OK, how about the embedded version of Damn Small Linux? That's just a case of unpacking it on Windows and running one app to launch DSL in QEMU [20:40] ZeZu: just for my curiosity: whats a "multilib version of ubuntu"? [20:41] dooner: thanks, that's what i thought too, but i suspect there's a bit more to is. since / and /boot will be separate file systems, won't i need to point grub to both? also, since what was once /boot/grub will now be /grub on /boot, i'll need to change those references as well... [20:41] right, but then again, i could just putty > shell > screen... with everything already set up on it [20:41] I'm trying to find the UUID of /dev/sdb1, whcih sudo fdisk -l shows that Ubuntu sees, but running "blkid" only brings /dev/sda1. How can I find the UUID of /dev/sdb1? [20:41] Roasted: have you looked in /etc/fstab [20:42] dooner: i admit i haven't actually tried anything yet, because at the moment i'm still able to boot with a previous kernel (two kernels are the default for 8.10). if i start messing with grub, i could lock myself out altogether.

[20:51] psychic: what are you using the database for? [20:51] jdwarta1: talk is in command line, i'm new but i'm trying to be able to easily communicate with other people logged on to the server that i'm trying to run [20:51] We're getting a new computer today, and I want to copy everything from mine to it (and hopefully change the username). However; the hardware is completely different. The new one is 32bit, this is 64. The new one has 1 hard drive, I have four. I have multimon, new one has one. Do I need to install software on new one first? Is there an easy way to do this? [20:51] vexic: I believe write might be already installed and that might do what you're after [20:51] jdwarta1, you can also use ytalk [20:51] vexic: do you mean the same network? i've tried that talk command a while ago, but didn't work properly [20:52] how do you dual screen Ubuntu on a laptop with an ATi graphics card? I'm not real sure which ATi card I have, I know it's a Radeon but here's my lspci results http://ex0dus.pastebin.com/d425b0261 [20:52] NeT_DeMoN: which version of ubuntu are you using? [20:52] actualy the question about sq lite was mostly 2 find out if i could use it to edit a website i made the major question tho is my computers chipset shows up as unsupported is this affecting my performance in general? [20:52] or better yet not dual screen but use an external source for your monitor [20:52] Lima0: Right now I'm trying to get it to work for 2 users that are connected to the server using putty [20:52] 8.10 Ibex [20:52] jon23d: It would be best if you install the OS on the new one and just copy your /home over [20:53] null: just chown/chgrp everything? === kush is now known as kush[a] [20:53] NeT_DeMoN: so you'd prefer just to use the external monitor, not both?

[21:31] HammerHead66: thats about jaunty - you will be better off in #ubuntu+1 [21:31] ferronica: 1 - vistas loader thinks its at a partition its not, so it cant load. try the recovery cd and do a repair on it. or 2 - vista is actually on the second harddisk sdb so your grub file should read (hd1,0) for vista. [21:31] Mc-Kay: can you boot to recovery root console, create a new user then log in as that user? [21:32] the system worked before, when i was going something is gparted and this closed unexpectedly [21:32] guntbert: ok [21:32] I can try [21:32] your second one is wrong [21:32] all windows installed on HD0 [21:33] ferronica: i was going on your fdisk printout for second one - it shows an NTFS partition on your second, 200GB disk :) [21:33] best msn alternative for ubuntu , when I want to use webcam and voice , to other msn users [21:33] ferronica: which also has 2 partitions.

[21:34] artificialife: just ask [21:34] ActionParsnip, this doesnt work, as soon as I get to the sesson login, I cant do anything, I see the cursor blocking in the input box, but it doesnt allow any input, nor can i move the mouse pointer into the box to input the user or pass [21:34] guntbert: ty for the help [21:34] i need to restore from the trash [21:35] and it seems there is no way to [21:35] do you know any command for terminal, updating GRUB to read all partition again [21:35] HammerHead66: yw :-) [21:35] artificialife: I think you are out of luck.

[21:36] the terminal does this too, it turns grey for 10 seconds then starts up again the second I ask ubuntu to do any work :/ [21:36] you there??? [21:36] artificialife: right click end it should have a restore option. [21:36] anyone have a link to how I set up networking on my new installed ubuntu LTS-server [21:36] already tried [21:37] pteague, will any of the files on /dev/hda be in use? [21:37] rythmbox is aboutto lose me 26gigs of music if i can't fix this [21:37] ferronica: i dont know. to re-install grub you could do sudo grub-install /dev/sda but i take no responsibility if it leaves you with a paperweight. [21:37] artificialife: which version of Ubuntu are you running? [21:37] hardy nautilus [21:38] I used to use PuTTY to SSH in to a remote server - what would I use instead on ubuntu now?

[21:39] Mike_lifeguard: there is also a PuTTy package for Linux, but I do that magnetron suggests. far easier. [21:39] pteague, I'd boot from a Live CD and then dd the partition [21:39] ferronica: is the partition with vista on it marked as active? [21:39] yes [21:40] hi, wouldbe greatfull for urgent helt :9 have locked out my self from the system :) I have changd fstab and added noatime, nodiratime, data=writeback, and now xserver wount start, and I get only in read-only system so I cant restore fstab. how can I fix this? [21:40] does ubuntu come with NTFS support out of the box? It seems to be mounting all of my USB drives as read-only. Looking at the access list, it says they're mounted rwx, but I cannot modify them [21:40] Mike_lifeguard→ quick intro: start the terminal and type "ssh username@ssh-server.example.com" [21:40] and server installed in partition HD0,3 not in HD0,0 [21:40] ferronica: ok then im out of ideas. i say broken vista install for some reason. maybe server 2003 mixed something up and overwrote its boot files, i am all out of ideas now [21:41] pisto0l-fish: yes, my NTFS partitions mount and work fine. Your USB drives are more likely to be FAT32 though unless you specifically formatted them as NTFS. [21:41] LOL ok NP [21:41] pist0l-fish, did you install the ntfs-3g driver in ubuntu? [21:41] I did [21:41] ferronica: FYI, maybe try only linux OS and get vmware-server its free and install you windows systems on it in future when you need so many on one machine. [21:41] noodlesgc: that still doesn't work [21:41] mrwes: it seems to have come with it, I have both mount.ntfs and mount.ntfs-3g [21:41] pist0l-fish: most USB drives come as FAT32...are you sure it's NTFS? [21:41] ahh..k [21:42] hey [21:42] got_milk4: not entirely too sure, actually. Maybe I should check :) [21:42] demesg can give u some info [21:42] pist0l-fish: just a thought :) [21:42] scunizi hey [21:42] artificialife: hm, thats odd.

But boot options don't let me set vga=719 or anything (I get an error 318 about it at boot). Do I need to install some kind of package to get the display configured for higher VGA settings? (I'll stay and answer other newbie questions ;) [21:48] sorry for longspam [21:48] xeo: connecting through USB i suppose? [21:48] is it possible to reinstall sound drivers (ALSA/OSS) from scratch without reinstalling ubuntu 8.10 [21:48] yeah a usb drive [21:48] xeo: if you bios supports that [21:48] so tell bios to boot from usb correct? [21:48] got_milk4: df -T says it's fuseblk ? [21:48] xeo: as long as your BIOS supports USB booting then you're good to go [21:48] ActionParsnip, trying that [21:48] how would i install ubuntu to the external drive? [21:49] cd booting will install it to the internal hardrive correct/ [21:49] my bios supports USB booting [21:49] hi [21:49] !usb [21:49] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [21:50] just can't work through in my mind how i should go about installing to external drive [21:50] pist0l-fish: okay, fuseblk is a block device which uses fuse, it's used to mount ntfs partitions/drives with read and write access for non-root users [21:50] bananagun, 719 doesn't sound like a standard mode .. maybe you wanted 791 ?? http://wiki.antlinux.com/pmwiki.php?n=HowTos.VgaModes [21:50] xeo: I'v never tried installing to an external harddrive, but I bet its the same as a usb device [21:51] unop: 791 I think is what I tried.. it only gives me 80x20 80x50 etc. (or whatever)...

[22:40] hi! [22:40] emek_: hi [22:41] I guess I will just ask this guy to leave his Windows chkdsk running. Maybe chkdsk doesn't update the percentage while it scans a single 19-gigabit file [22:41] or should that be, "Hopefully" [22:41] got_milk4, wired [22:41] geofft: chkdsk's percentages are very jumpy anyway === dt3k is now known as fenrir [22:42] got_milk4, when i boot the machine in recovery, it doesnt detect the net [22:42] geofft: I think the percentage is based on directory, not file... so I think scanning large files will make it seem to hang while the file is scanned === fenrir is now known as dt3k [22:42] Michelle5: does it detect the net normally?

[22:51] YixilTesiphon: whatever ... I will if I need to ... but I need documentation on what the steps are for Intrepid (I'm just doing dry-run testing with it) and Jaunty (which I will do fresh install when it comes out) [22:51] got_milk4, ok [22:51] Michelle5: okay, now we can back out of the text editor and use sudo ifconfig eth0 up (remember to replace eth0 with your network interface) [22:51] YixilTesiphon: seems the community help is 1 or 2 versions old [22:51] benitron, what do you need [22:51] Michelle5: if all goes well you should be back on the network [22:51] benitron: my current install runs off a thumbdrive.

[22:53] Is there no way just to downgrade to the last set of packages? [22:53] does anyone know how to change the bootchart setting such as output file name? [22:53] or, what am I doing wrong in: sudo apt-get remove alsa-base_1.0.18.dfsg-1ubuntu8 [22:53] got_milk4, so i do sudo apt-get remove postgresql-8.3 [22:53] Michelle5: does networking function now? [22:53] seems too [22:53] that it says it can't find that package, when synaptic says it is installed? [22:54] YixilTesiphon: so do you know a document that tells what to do to get the wireless driver working, either way? [22:54] Michelle5: i'm not familiar with the postgresql packages but you can try that, if that doesn't work try sudo apt-get remove postgresql [22:54] Skaperen: no, beyond just googling - this was a long time ago on a different computer so I don't know [22:54] just got an error again [22:55] what does it say?

[22:55] I instaledl ubuntu server on to a USB drive but when I try to boot from it I get a "missing os" message. I have already found that the server edition does not have support for this and I wont to know how to add it.

[22:59] Michelle5: can you sudo chmod +rw /usr/share/postgresql-common/maintscripts-functions [23:00] sebsebseb: I already went to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/ ... but it's outdated ... what I said earlier [23:00] sebsebseb: I was looking for something newer ... I know which wireless I have === mirk_ is now known as mirk [23:01] sebsebseb: the "improvement" I was hoping for was something in the install/admin tools that recognizes the device type and can tell me the driver to download ... and once I provide it, it can install it, all in GUI [23:01] Skaperen: it should be a last resort really, but you could try ndiswrapper and do a windows driver, also see the pm I sent you [23:01] can not access, the path i put, no such file or dir [23:01] sebsebseb: PM is not working in my IRC client, sorry [23:01] Skaperen: you probably won't get such a thing in 9.04 [23:01] Which Ubuntu do I install to access more than 4 gb of memory? [23:01] Skaperen: that certainly would be nice, but sadly does not exist in 9.04 [23:02] if only [23:02] yes but then it would take more space. is there some way I could install the necessary packages to support this to the installation I already have from the live cd or something like that? [23:02] Skaperen: ok well I just told you about a distro, where your wireless will probably just work, in pm [23:02] sebsebseb: like I say, I can only hope for such an improvement ... not really expecting it [23:02] * G69 Good Night / Boa Noite. [23:02] I get the following error when attempting to do a firmware upgrade on a smart card reader [23:02] sebsebseb: all PM's to me just go into a blackhole ... but I'm not debugging irssi today [23:03] ./fwupdate.ini: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' [23:03] ./fwupdate.ini: line 1: `' [23:03] How can I fix the ini file [23:03] Skaperen: I don't think should mention other distros when they have an advantage for something Ubuntu gets a problem with, in the suppourt channel here [23:03] got_milk4, i can cd to postgresql-common and all i see is root-crt [23:04] sebsebseb: I'm not really wanting another distro, anyway, except maybe to extract a driver module from [23:04] Michelle5: i know this sounds a bit odd, but i've done something similar in the past, can you create a file named maintscripts-functions and try it again? [23:04] ok [23:04] Skaperen: Mandriva does wireless differnetly from Ubuntu, so it seems a lot of cards will just work [23:04] Skaperen: and you can try a windows driver with ndiswrapper [23:04] Skaperen: for the wireless [23:05] donje [23:05] anybody know why I can't see my 8 gb of memory on ubuntu? [23:05] sebsebseb: the instructions for Hardy give .exe files to download from HP ... are those windows drivers for ndiswrapper? [23:05] Michelle5: now if you try to remove again what happens? [23:05] Skaperen: you need a .inf file for ndiswarpepr [23:05] guys [23:06] Skaperen: if you install that download on windos or maybe wine, you can get the .inf file [23:06] Skaperen: really you should try native first, but it seems you have, and didn't get that far [23:06] loquitus_of_borg: are you using the 64bit version? [23:06] sebsebseb: OK so those instructions are for something else ... are ndiswrapper instructions in that same help site section? [23:06] hey, anyone in here familiar with people that come in here regularly? [23:06] how can i sort some files and find the count of it [23:06] or something [23:07] sebsebseb: I hear that ndiswrapper+windows drivers = faster wireless [23:07] Skaperen: what type of card do you have? [23:07] LiMa0: I installed the x86 version, not the AMD64 version since I have an Intel Core2Quad.... [23:07] macman_: you question doesnt make sense pls explain [23:07] yea i just realized it dind't [23:08] sebsebseb: bcm4311 in HP pavilion dv6000 laptop [23:08] loquitus_of_borg: install AMD64 version [23:08] sebsebseb: bcm4311 rev01 in HP pavilion dv6000 laptop [23:08] wierd [23:08] linny--- say i have 41 files in a folder .. i want to sort them alphabetically and then find out how big each files is .. is this an options ? [23:08] Skaperen: hummm [23:08] thht: damn... so if I already installed it with 32 bit, can I install on top, or am I hosed? [23:08] i know du -sh finds how bigh they are [23:08] can anyone here help me register my nickname? [23:08] Skaperen: got Windows? [23:09] Skaperen: or as I said maybe you can do that .exe in Wine [23:09] Skaperen: got to get the .inf file [23:09] loquitus_of_borg: you have to reinstall. core2quad = 64bit [23:09] As in is there any way to install the 64 bit version on top of the 32 bit version of Linux [23:09] loquitus_of_borg: nuke it from orbit ... then install AMD64 version === Metal|AFK is now known as Metal [23:09] macman_: yes you should see linuxcommand.org it has a beginners tut on cli skills [23:09] back [23:09] LiMa0: "nuke it from orbit" ;)? [23:09] Michelle5: what happened? [23:09] sebsebseb: nope ... the original windows install was hosed to unrunnable ... recovery disks won't boot ... so I wiped it and put ubuntu 8.10 on ... plan to put 9.04 on later when it's out [23:10] got_milk4, net isnt working [23:10] Is there a silverlight(moonlight?) plugin available for ubuntu? [23:10] macman_: http://www.linuxcommand.org/lts0060.php [23:10] Skaperen: I would suggest sorting yourself out with a Mandriva Live CD and trying that, because if your wireless works there, then yes can get it working with Ubuntu natively some how [23:10] loquitus_of_borg: yes. you must not mix up 32-bit ubuntu with 64-bit ubuntu [23:10] I so apt-get remove package and its wanting to install something first [23:11] thht: so basically I am planning to keep the /home partition intact and wipe out the others with a fresh install... good plan? [23:11] Michelle5: I thought it was already working? Did the steps we took earlier work? [23:11] Skaperen: and you can also try running that .exe you were on about in wine [23:11] Skaperen: and if it provides a .inf file :) [23:11] sebsebseb: I know it worked under windows ... the wireless should be fine ... just need to know the steps to pick the right driver and install it [23:11] it showed on the ifconfig. [23:11] loquitus_of_borg: yeah thats fine .. should do the job [23:11] Skaperen: no just, because it works under Windows, does not mean that it will work under Linux natively [23:12] yes i did [23:12] Is there a Windows plugin for ubuntu? ... jk [23:12] thanks === _Purple_away is now known as _Purple_ [23:12] i just tried to change hostname, but i get this in terminal a lot: sudo: unable to resolve host {myhostname} [23:12] hello, do you know of a good computer ergonomics web site/IRC channel, I have eye problems and want optimal monitor settings, as well as a system config to minimize strain [23:12] eugman: see here: https://edge.launchpad.net/~mono-ubuntu/+archive/ppa [23:12] thht: is there any way for me to get a list of all the packages I installed on this in a way I can "import" when I reinstall later with 64 bit? [23:12] loquitus_of_borg: btw, you have version 8.10? [23:12] as in tell it to reinstall the same games I installed from synaptic [23:12] !aptoncd | loquitus_of_borg [23:12] loquitus_of_borg: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [23:12] Skaperen: find out which driver it is for Windows, or you know that already? that was the .exe you were on about? [23:12] thht: actually going with Jacky for now.... [23:12] Michelle5: what comes out when you try ifconfig? what does it show as your IP address? [23:12] got_milk4, so you only way to get this working is on the net, and I cant get passed login either without a problem [23:12] sebsebseb: there are steps for that wireless chip/card for Hardy ... and a page for Feisty listed people having success ... presumably the same driver those use would work in Intrepid ... I just need the steps to follow [23:12] benitron: what will take more space? [23:13] Skaperen: which steps? [23:13] here is the startup config file stored if I want to stop a program from running on boot? [23:13] do the network if-up and if-down still get executed when I'm using network manager?? [23:13] sebsebseb: the problem is so much documentation on the community help is so old, very little for Intrepid [23:13] got_milk4, i see no ip address its normaly 194.168.0.4 [23:13] eseven73: I don't know if that will work... I am not planning to reinstall the same distribution... I am going from 32 to 64 bit [23:13] Skaperen: indeed [23:13] Michelle5: wait, you can't get past login? [23:13] benitron: If you get "Missing Operating System", that means your boot sector is empty. You can install grub there. You'll also need to fill in /boot with grub's stage 2, etc. files, but that's fairly small [23:13] sebsebseb: almost makes me want to run an older ubuntu [23:13] got, no [23:13] Skaperen: what steps are you after? [23:14] Michelle5: what happens that you can't get past login? [23:14] gkffcks, I believe, yes [23:14] benitron: you don't need to install the grub _package_ on this thumbdrive. You can boot a live CD and run install-grub with your thumbdrive as the target [23:14] loquitus_of_borg, hmmm not too sure then, maybe try the forums if no one else answers [23:14] got_milk4, if i reboot the box as normal, i get to the gnome login, at this point my keyboard or mouse does not work [23:14] sebsebseb: the steps to select and install the driver ... list are shown for older ubuntus ... but instead for Intrepid [23:14] Skaperen: I gave you two good help suggestons, but you haven't done either yet [23:14] meh, I'm on gutsy and the default svn version is 1.4.4 , is there any supported way of getting 1.5.x other than compiling from source? [23:14] loquitus_of_borg: oh, i don't know that. maybe s. o. else does know? [23:14] should you have anti-virus/anti-spyware for linux? [23:14] I mean, Tor is starting auto on boot, so there must be a file where it tells ubuntu to start this program? [23:14] mouse doesnt move, and any keys pressed does nothing [23:14] !virus | Double_Kill2 (not really) [23:14] I'm not sure where it is or what it is called. [23:14] Double_Kill2 (not really): A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [23:14] Skaperen: suggestions that will get you in the right direction [23:15] Is there any issue with fglrx driver in Jaunty, as it's not available using the 'Hardware Drivers' tool [23:15] Hello, it seems that Rhythmbox doesn't realize when i change my music library directory that i want it to stop keeping track of files in other directories... is there any way to completely purge Rhythmbox's database? [23:15] in windows I was able to be connected to both wired and wifi connections at the same time, and have servers listening and accepting connections on both interfaces, but i believe this is not possible on ubuntu right ? [23:15] sebsebseb: you mean using that other distro? I assumed that is to test the hardware ... that's not the issue I have [23:15] if i put in a usb stick or usb hd this doesnt show up either.. [23:15] thank you [23:15] is having issues trying to get his wmp54gs card to work. Installed ndiswrapper and the win driver and nothing is working. I think I might not have blacklisted the default driver. Help would be appreciated. [23:16] sebsebseb: will steps for Hardy work on Intrepid? I'm guessing the answer will be "no idea" [23:16] Michelle5: unfortunately this problem seems to be more severe than i first thought. unfortunately i'm out of suggestions for you, maybe someone else can help you out? [23:16] Skaperen: you may not even need a driver for wireless in Mandriva, because it will just work. that was the idea to test the Live CD to find out if it does, because if it works natively in Mandriva, then should be able to in Ubuntu. the other idea was bugger native, and if you can get a .inf for the windows driver, do it in ndiswraper [23:16] got_milk4, i cant just reinstall, before there is way to must on here, if i could see the usb drive in /media/ i could back stuff up [23:16] got_milk4, i hope someone could? [23:16] Skaperen: the answer is, yes probably [23:16] Michelle5: i'm hoping, i have to leave for awhile, but if you're still here when i come back i can try my best to help some more [23:16] Skaperen: Hardy and Intrepid are very similar, except for stuff like xorg, which has nothing to do with wireless anyway [23:17] anyone know of a multi threaded ftp client that has support for multiple servers maybe in tabs ? [23:17] sebsebseb: it's known to work in Feisty and Hardy on this exact laptop model with this exact wireless card ... so I'm assuming it will work in Linux once the right steps are done ... all I need is the right steps [23:17] Is there a website I could find the answer on? [23:17] linkd, maybe filezilla [23:17] linny* [23:17] linny, Filezilla [23:17] Skaperen: the hardy steps will probably work, as I just said [23:17] well. im in the uk, so time wise it depends how long your gone. [23:17] sebsebseb: if someone knows that steps for Hardy will work on Intrepid, I'll try that [23:17] can anyone here help me register my nickname? [23:17] sebsebseb: OK ... on your say so of probability, that's good enough for me [23:17] Skaperen: do the hardy steps! [23:17] Michelle5: hopefully for only a half hour or so, shouldn't be much longer than that [23:17] i will be back shortly [23:18] i have this machine on, for skype and such, the other box thats broken now is what I run websites on [23:18] ok, illl be here [23:18] Hello guys, I just got done putting together my new PC and the only prob I have is that the built in LAN (realtek 8211CL) isnt working.Its on this ASUS M3N78 pro mobo. I tried looking for a linux driver but with no luck.Does anyone know if its supported? [23:18] thankyou :) [23:18] eseven73:Huufarted: as far as i can see i can only be connected to one server at once in filezilla [23:18] in 8.10 i'm looking for System -> Administration -> Network, but i only have 'Network Tools'. how can i get to that? [23:18] eseven73:Huufarted: i suppose i could open multiple instaces [23:19] yeah I was just going to suggest that [23:19] sebsebseb: thanks [23:19] Skaperen: it worked? [23:19] Im thinking of just throwing in one of my old 3Com cards if I have to, but would rather not if I dont have to. [23:20] Mark_Jones: I'm new to linux but i've heard of ndiswrapper, it makes non-supported cards work with a windows driver [23:20] linny, if all else fails you could run it as different users, something like su linny2 and run filezilla in terminal, then su linny3, su linny4 etc, etc. :D [23:20] is ndiswrapper only for wireless network cards? [23:21] chordogg: yes only for wireless [23:21] chordogg, I think it works for ethernet as well [23:21] chordogg: and Ethernet should just work [23:21] hmm never heard of it. [23:21] yeah as soon as you plug in a ethernet cable it should work no matter what [23:21] ndiswrapper works for any ethernet adapter, not just wireless [23:21] sebastien, doesn't it support some broadcom cards? [23:21] Where does ubuntu keep the startup file for starting of programs on boot? [23:21] linny, but my second recommendation would only work I think if of course that user2, 3, 4 existed, and they had a /home [23:22] mrpresident: Ndiswrapper gets the WIndows wireless drivers, working with Linux [23:22] eseven73: yea you dont need to do that it will run more than once with the same user [23:22] nice, better yet then :D [23:22] hmmm [23:24] scream, look into /etc/rc2.d [23:24] sebsebseb, thats right sorry bout that [23:24] mrpresident: nevermind no problem [23:24] how do I re-run the locale selection that was done at startup? [23:24] !locale [23:24] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [23:24] dpkg-reconfigure locales doesn seem to do what I expected [23:25] thanks [23:25] Matson: no problem, and that was a good guess, didn't know that one existed [23:25] Is there a web page that has links to Ubuntu drivers? [23:25] close [23:25] Mark_Jones: drivers for what? [23:25] Ubuntu [23:25] scream, that directory contains all scripts that are started linux enters run level 2. They are symbolic links to scripts in /etc/init.d [23:25] Mark_Jones: most hardware suppourt is built into the Linux kernel [23:26] Mark_Jones: for what device? [23:26] when I boot ubuntu, it shows a solid black screen when gdm starts. control-alt-F1 used to drop into a virtual terminal, but this doesn't work now. how do I get into a virtual terminal to fix the machine? [23:26] Ok I figured I just didnt know if there were 3rd party drivers [23:26] realtek 8211CL LAN [23:26] Mark_Jones: well the propritary graphics card drivers and such yeah [23:26] proq try ctrl-alt-f1 more than once? [23:26] Mark_Jones: have a look to see what is available under system > administaration > hardware drivers [23:26] what is the error in this code? [23:26] ./fwupdate.ini: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' [23:26] ./fwupdate.ini: line 1: `' [23:27] jdu: yes, I did [23:27] yeah its just the video card driver listed [23:27] I think Ill just slap an old 3com in it [23:28] hey is anyone in here good with terminal? [23:28] proq, I have found that in recent versions of ubuntu I always have to hit it twice. Is there ever anything on the screen? [23:28] Double_Kill2, im ok [23:28] jdu: nope, just solid black [23:28] Double_Kill2: dont ask to ask [23:29] well I was able to remove gdm from rescue mode === Evil is now known as Guest83126 [23:29] sebsebseb: thanks (again, just had a phone call that I had to take ... not sure any more came my way) === mike is now known as Guest70236 [23:29] sebsebseb: will do hardy steps tonight [23:29] proq, can you login without seeing anything?

[23:32] jdu: yeah, without gdm I am back to text login [23:33] hola, soy nuevo aquí [23:33] jdu: I'm guessing virtual terminal not working is something to do with this odd aluminum apple keyboard [23:33] anybody knows hoe to set up a printer on a windows network? [23:33] I cant find the way [23:33] Hello [23:33] So when you are running 64 bit Ubuntu, do you also need to have 64 bit versions of all your applications, games, etc? I noticed that VMware has both 64 bit and 32 bit releases... so I am wondering if the same is true for things like games like say Doom or Quake? [23:33] Hello Everyone, I'm trying to mount an initrd image on Ubuntu as a 'filesystem' any ideas? [23:34] proq, probably the next step is to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change your graphics drivers. The vt isn't working? [23:34] usser: what do i do after that? [23:34] Harpoon_, nothing, it should show up in your windows network [23:34] !samba | Harpoon_ [23:34] Harpoon_: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[23:34] loquitus_of_borg: you can have both 32-bit and 64-bit software running. but a 32-bit app can't link to 64-bit libs, and vice-versa [23:34] thanks [23:34] denise: I had the same problem with my printer, a laser one, canon lbp3200 [23:35] hi @ all, i'v installed xubuntu and i've got problems with the screen resolution, the maximum is 800x600 how can i change this, using windows higher resolution was possible [23:35] hey everyone. i have an old compaq presario 1200 that i slapped xubuntu on. when i get to the login screen, it's blank. knowing the screen is okay, i plugged in an external monitor then restarted the gdm (ctrl+alt+backspace) and the login screen showed fine. then, i took out the external monitor, and i also tried alt+ctrl+f1 and alt+ctrl+f7 and the screen showed. what should i go to make the... [23:35] ...screen automatically show? [23:35] jdu: right [23:35] ok [23:35] so what u did [23:35] I'm having some dependency errors while upgrading, I accidentally pressed CTRL+C while upgrading from 6.06 to 8.04, can I run the install procedure again or should I let it finish === Evil is now known as Guest54951 [23:35] proq: so how does 64 bit Ubuntu handle the fact that probably the vast majority of stuff out there is still 32 bit? I could install Quake 4 or Doom III and those could (for the sake of argument) be only 32 bit executables... does that mean I can't play them? [23:35] hi @ all, i'v installed xubuntu and i've got problems with the screen resolution, the maximum is 800x600 how can i change this, using windows higher resolution was possible [23:36] hello! Could somebody help me to jailbrake a Itouch from my ubuntu?? [23:36] cc [23:36] I found somebody who accidentally had the same problem here [23:36] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=777423 [23:36] loquitus_of_borg: you just have to have all the library dependencies installed [23:36] jdu: does that mean the keyboard is not giving the correct input? [23:36] I asked a friend. It's very difficult for me to work in a terminal. [23:36] pere: i'm not sure that's possible... get a mac or windows [23:36] the advice he got was to run: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade [23:36] ah [23:37] Anyone here who can give me some advice? [23:37] ty it helped [23:37] Excuse me for my english. I'm from South America [23:37] ohh... well is that I don't have it... [23:37] I also try to re-install Windows and I can't [23:37] proq: does 64 bit ubuntu have the option to install 32 bit dependencies and/or is this the default? [23:37] pere: borrow one. you can find out more at theiphoneblog.com. checkout the forums [23:37] loquitus_of_borg: for example, if you want to run a game "xglo" and it requires 32-bit version of libX11, you have to install that 32-bit library to your 32-bit folder in ubuntu. this may have changed in ubuntu 9.04, dunno [23:37] I coudn't make it work by myself [23:38] well thanks for the disposition stay in contact bye! [23:38] loquitus_of_borg: you install them with a bit of effort [23:38] taylor_, I don't have much experience with it, but if it is just a filesystem image, you can loop mount it. [23:38] sounds like 64 bit is quite a hassle... [23:39] I can mail you the procedure I got from internet if you want [23:39] only for 32-bit only apps [23:39] jdu: thats what I tried, a few different ways, but I can't seem to make it work [23:39] proq: oh ok... I was alarmed about this because VMWare comes in both incarnations and I was thinking originally that you need 64 bit versions of anything you want to run... furthermore, VMWare 64 bit refuses to run on a 32 bit OS so I wondered if the converse was true [23:40] taylor, hmm, I assume with the right filesystem type. Is it compressed? [23:40] I decompressed it [23:41] would anyone recommend installing 64 bit ubuntu? is it worth it? [23:41] hi all, how do i copy folders with cp? [23:41] chordogg: If you have more than 4gb of ram, sure [23:41] I have just discovered the beauty of scp from the terminal! man does that rock..heh [23:41] Shlomi: pass -R for recursive === sale_ is now known as sale [23:41] im using amd64 [23:41] J-_: well i do not :-P [23:41] As I recall, one of the problems with 64-bit Ubuntu is Adobe Flash, but they may have fixed that. [23:42] works great [23:42] thanks [23:42] taylor_, then you have tried everything I would do off the top of my head. :[ [23:42] taylor_: one of the key things I use is a flight simulator called X-Plane... it would suck if I switched to 64 bit and that totally was not compatible. [23:42] morning folks, whats the name or the package that has all the build tools in it, is it "build-essential" ?? [23:42] taylor_, there is now an x64 native adobe flash player [23:42] i wonder why those stuff dosent show up the files copying, you can never know if it does or not [23:42] lol [23:43] pl [23:43] *ok [23:43] previously to use flash on 64-bit ubuntu, you installed a 32-bit browser [23:43] Ok, now I am updated :) [23:43] Cappy|Here: yes i beleive so [23:43] Well, Im not that good at 'mount' too, so its possible I inputted the wrong command [23:43] Shlomi: pass v for versbose too. -Rv [23:44] Cappy|Here, that should be it, yep. [23:44] Hi, I am reading through a guide to C, I was just wondering if Ubuntu comes with a C compiler program? [23:44] what??? Songbird isn't in the repo? [23:44] !songbird [23:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about songbird [23:44] !compile [23:44] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [23:44] mrwes: yeah I know [23:44] !info songbird [23:44] Package songbird does not exist in intrepid [23:44] sebsebseb: You can download songbird from the website. [23:44] sebsebseb, uh? [23:45] ok songbird has to be compiled then, lame it should be in the repo, and this is for someone else [23:45] sebsebseb there are packages for songbird [23:45] sebsebseb, I think there is a .deb file [23:45] sebsebseb: i don't think it has to be compiled. i just downloaded, unarchived, and ran an executable. [23:45] Just download the tar file, and run the executable file or whatever it's called. [23:46] does anyone know something about the cpufreq-info tool plz ? got some questions about this [23:46] sebsebseb, if everything that "should" be in repos were in the repos, Ubuntu would be just as bloated as Microsoft... :P [23:46] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7050204#post7050204 [23:46] you know [23:46] i wish that you didnt use repos [23:46] aboleth: what? [23:46] and stuff was directly from the source [23:46] like [23:46] it looked at sourceforge [23:47] and looked at what was available [23:47] it would be better that way imo === Sacker is now known as Z === Z is now known as SackeR [23:47] it wouldnt make it bloated [23:47] if a normal download is 100kbps, if i encrypt it with ssh how much slower will it be? [23:47] it would just give it more options [23:47] !enter | aboleth [23:47] aboleth: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:47] i hate that rule [23:47] can someone point me to a guide on terminal commands [23:47] yeah holy enter key batman, slow down there [23:47] i type as i think [23:47] sebsebseb, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Songbird [23:48] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7050204#post7050204 [23:48] aboleth: I think your trying to troll a bit here, and if you want a distro where you got to compile like everything, try Gentoo or some such [23:48] look at that [23:48] i''m not trolling [23:48] i'm not talking about compiling [23:48] this isnt MSN aboleth! don't use enter key after every thought [23:48] i wish it was :P [23:48] aboleth: bitlbee ;) [23:48] Hi, If i have a script in my /etc/init.d and I already disabled it using: update-rc.d -f svnserve remove [23:48] is it safe to just delete the script? [23:48] bitlbee? [23:49] what's that [23:49] /usr/bin/dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.packageKit --type=method_call /org/freedesktop/packagekit org.freedesktop.packagekit/statehaschanged string: [23:49] that an error:D [23:49] Harpoon_: http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/cmd/ [23:49] aboleth: local server which connects to msn through an irc client, it was more meant as a joke :P [23:49] i see [23:49] Harpoon_: if you want something more practicle, have a look @ http://www.pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html [23:50] lol thanks [23:50] <_Brun0_> Anyone please help me installing my snd-hda-intel sound card? This is where i'm at: http://pastebin.com/m17d24a6e [23:50] Hello. Could someone say one of these 2 numbers please, 1 or 2? [23:50] monra: 3 [23:50] anyway, what i meant about the package thing, it wouldn't look for source, but debian packages. it would actually in a way be more similar to windows than gentoo, but i think that would be good in this case. [23:50] monra is the best [23:50] but it should have an option for source too [23:51] i actually plan on making this program [23:51] iceroot: Well.. I need a really random number. So I'm asking here, a random said by a human should be random. So could you help me? [23:51] random between 2 choices isn't random [23:51] _Brun0_: turn alsa on? [23:51] i wonder why no one else seems to have had this idea [23:51] monra: pi [23:51] <_Brun0_> FoShizzle, how? [23:51] LiMaO: Well.. it is! 50% to be 1, 50% to be 2? Why not ? :P [23:52] _Brun0_: um try sudo /etc/init.d/alsa start [23:52] because i think its a great one. publishing software is too difficult at the moment, and playing catch up with the repos is just stupid. [23:52] !ot | monra [23:52] monra: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:52] i mean [23:52] _Brun0_: or it is maybe called alsasound [23:52] how can i tell what version im running through the cli? [23:52] does anyone have a problem using pinnacle pctv hd pro stick pc tv tuner in ubunt ? [23:52] bitlbee isn't a joke, it's a great tool [23:52] yeah you can publish a single version of a program really easily, but to keep your users up to date is more hard than it needs to be. [23:52] stealth-: lsb_release -a [23:53] iceroot: thanks [23:53] I need some bash scripting help please [23:53] Any ideas why I cant unlock the default keyring? I've tried no password, my password, and the root password, and none of those did the trick [23:53] http://pastebin.com/d5edd16aa [23:53] is there something fundamentally wrong with my thinking or something, because i don't see why no one thought of anything like this. [23:53] that script works until the iptables lines [23:53] proq: we were talking about to use enter as a punctuation on msn rather than on irc, that's the joke [23:53] GodfatherofEire: the keyring is stored with the seahorse app [23:54] any responses?\ [23:54] FoShizzle: ah [23:54] proq: yeah, it's kind of lame but yeah :P [23:54] joao: does it give any error ? [23:54] does anyone think my idea for changing the package manager is good? [23:54] _Brun0_: wake up! [23:55] <_Brun0_> FoShizzle, I did "/etc/init.d/alsa start": * Setting up ALSA... * warning: 'alsactl restore' failed with error message 'alsactl: load_state:1577: No soundcards found...'... [23:55] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7050204#post7050204 [23:55] _Brun0_: that does not sound good.. [23:55] i really would like some help with this [23:55] people just don't seem to be giving me any attention [23:55] _Brun0_: sure it is the right driver? [23:55] not just today [23:56] i was trying to get help a few times on the irc channel a few times before [23:56] Never mind, it just didnt update to the current password [23:56] i either talked to no one or someone who knew less than i did [23:56] Can someone msg me the syntax for a forkbomb? i know this sounds like a very stupid question, but trust me. [23:56] sometimes frustratingly so [23:56] aboleth: some unix distros *do* just grab updates automatically from sources [23:56] i bet that'll get answered before me [23:56] proq: which ones? [23:56] aboleth: openbsd [23:57] aboleth: Try installing xserver-xorg-input-joystick [23:57] aboleth: gentoo as well [23:57] proq: why is that not seen as superior? [23:57] i mean [23:57] <_Brun0_> FoShizzle, 1 sec leme double check.. According to lspci -v it is: Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel. I'll check in laptop manual.. =P 1 sec brb [23:57] besides the source thing, but you don't need to do that [23:57] aboleth: Also check out jscalibrator to calibrate it [23:57] aboleth: because building sources takes a lot of energy and that takes time and money [23:57] energy as in kilowatts [23:57] How would I go about updating the default keyring password? [23:57] J-_: one source said not to use it [23:57] but i'll try [23:58] aboleth: hmm [23:58] Um, is there a way to get the absolutely latest version of jaunty? I.e, you don't need to update it after installation? Like a daily build or something [23:58] are there any good websites or books on understanding package managers and ports? [23:58] aboleth: I use both in Jaunty(beta) and things seem to work well === FoShizzle is now known as sveakex [23:59] how exactly does openbsd's portage work? [23:59] i mean [23:59] i have some -old- maxtor diamondmax 21 that is in a usb hard drive enclosure, and i want to totally blank it without going out of ubuntu, is that possible? [23:59] how does it get them directly from the source? [23:59] aboleth: this is a support channel for Ubuntu, check out #ubuntu-offtopic [23:59] J-_: ok
