[00:05] ActionParsnip i know about /dev/zero and stuff, i once helped someone re-create it (man zero) [00:05] keres: then find a deb or a repo [00:05] No, the Boost libraries [00:05] I cant remeber the name of the guy that was PMing me about my ASUS mobo LAN, are you still here whoever you are? [00:05] porter1: oh [00:06] Michelle5: I'm back, still need help? [00:07] I'm copying over a .rar file to a flash drive, and when I put it in my vista computer, the .rar doesn't show up.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:08] Hello, I just installed a new DVD writer and HDD and my screen resolution is now set incorrectly, and the option that it was previously set at is now gone, any ideas? [00:08] i just got done installing Kubuntu-dekstop and Xubuntu desktop on my ubuntu system and i'm trying to use Xubuntu desktop mainly [00:09] I'm copying over a .rar file to a flash drive, and when I put it in my vista computer, the .rar doesn't show up. When I put it back in my comp running ubuntu, it's there. What might cause this? [00:09] when i turn my comp on instead of the ubuntu symbol i now get the kubuntu symbol [00:09] mewmew did u install kubuntu-desktop? that is why if u did [00:09] ariqs: windows :) [00:09] mewmew when you login in the beginning choose session and then which ever windows manager you want to use [00:09] ariqs: maybe you formatted the drive as something vista can't read [00:09] linny lulz [00:09] proq: it can read other things on the drive [00:10] there should be a list there mewmew [00:10] U-b-u-n-t-u, yes however it gave me the option of configing it to certain windows or something like that [00:10] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7050204#post7050204 [00:10] ariqs: have you tried other files on the drive? or is it only that .rar? [00:10] ariqs: sounds more like a vista question than ubuntu then [00:10] GDM, kde, kde4 [00:10] ariqs: what fs are you using ? [00:10] i want to use gdm [00:10] proq agreed [00:10] got_milk4, the .rar [00:10] proq, the flash drive may be dead, I have one that I can see everything on but can [00:10] 't add files to [00:10] mewmew then choose gdm at the login under the drop down for session [00:11] U-b-u-n-t-u, GDM is not on there [00:11] ariqs: have you tried putting the .rar in some other directory on the drive? [00:11] GDM, kde, kde4 << thought you said it was? [00:11] linny: msdos is what it says in ubuntu. I didn't format it. it was preformatted [00:11] got_milk4, no, i'll give that a shot. [00:12] after i installed kubuntu-desktop AND xubuntu-desktop it asked me to choose one of those (at the time i didn't know what gdm is) [00:12] I just installed ubuntu and it wont mount an NTFS partition on a seagate freeagent pro usb drive.

[00:13] mewmew when you install a new windows manager it will ask you do you want to set it as the default session, but even then when you login there is a session drop down menu and you can change it [00:13] riwa: try typing the app name it installs [00:13] riwa: use tab completion [00:13] riwa: they usually make nice menu items for you [00:14] hi! is it possible to write the output from ping to a text file when an error happened including the date and time ? [00:14] ActionParsnip: Doesn't work.. I installed gtkradiant which I converted from a .rpm [00:14] dcomxx, ping | cat "filename" maybe [00:14] ActionParsnip: Do i need to update the path? [00:14] dcomxx: ping (something) > ~/ping.txt [00:15] yea but i only want the errors printed in that file [00:15] riwa: no it should put a binary in /usr/bin converting from rpm is NOT advised [00:15] when a host is unreachable or timeouts happened [00:15] has anyone else experienced trouble with the new nvidia driver? [00:15] dcomxx, then I would google for text matching in shells [00:16] ActionParsnip: Well i found a tutorial on how to install rpm uner ybuntu [00:16] hey i wonder why ubuntu sucks so much? [00:16] ActionParsnip: So i did it [00:16] I updated to the newest driver and I no longer have any signal to my monitor. [00:16] dcomxx: you could grep -v time [00:16] i tried with grep but didnt work .. [00:16] try windows man [00:16] Actually, I have a question. On my HP DV7 series notebook, in order to get sound working, I had to add "options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. This fixed my really jittery audio, but the audio sounds like it's being played back in mono and the integrated subwoofer in the bottom of the notebook isn't being used at all. Any ideas? [00:17] it beats the shit out of ubuntu [00:17] dcomxx: or som other thing (grep -v inverts grep to find what doesnt match the filter) [00:17] ActionParsnip: Shouldn't there be a log file for dpkg? [00:17] riwa: rpm is different to rpm and their actions cant be guaranteed [00:17] riwa: not sure [00:18] riwa: /var/log/dpkg.log [00:19] how can i make 'find */foo' get passed to rm? (delete every file called foo in all directories) [00:19] I'm installing WINDOWS!!!!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO [00:19] well done [00:19] i write : ping ip | grep -v 'something' > file [00:19] but doesnt work ..

[00:20] dcomxx: output = $(ping -c 5 ip 2>&1);echo $(output) > file [00:20] Davide: what card [00:20] i just restored my windows partition too, but i'm gonna reinstall ubuntu once i can play my videos off my ntfp free agent pro usb drive. [00:20] eseven73: hey are you here? [00:20] riwa: the try: sudo find / -name gtkrad* [00:20] 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 screen... [00:20] ...automatically show? [00:20] linny: it's an Audigy 1 [00:20] linny: SB0090 [00:20] Davide: what does lspci say your sound card is? [00:20] i'll just wait for the next beta to become final. [00:21] ActionParsnip: I'm kinda noob idk what that is.. can you explain? [00:21] whats that ? a shell script ? [00:21] Davide: type lspci in terminal, one line will identify the card, paste that ONE line in here [00:21] Is there some way I can roll back my nvidia driver via root shell in recovery mode? I've tried to dump compiz and dpkg -l nvidia-glx [00:22] dcomxx: that's a bit of bash [00:22] ActionParsnip: Thanks! It was in /opt :P [00:22] well I"m using mirc on a windows PC the Ubuntu installation in question is on another PC [00:22] rNaReplicaseX: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:22] but hangon [00:22] i went to mibbit .com so i can come to the channel [00:22] dont like mirc [00:22] :P [00:22] does a microatx mb work in a normal atx case [00:22] I'm starting to hate mirc as well [00:23] ActionParsnip That will reconfigure the windows manager-y type thing, right? [00:23] riwa: you can create a symlink in /usr/bin to the binary so you can execute it from any where [00:23] think I'm gonna get xchat [00:23] rNaReplicaseX: yes but it wont use the nvidia driver [00:23] i like xchat [00:23] Davide: use pidgin :) [00:23] i just like to run things from browser :) [00:23] ActionParsnip: I'm booting up just a sec [00:23] Davide, xchat is the bomb [00:23] but i dont like pidgin (for irc) [00:23] ActionParsnip And then I can roll back to my original, I suppose? [00:23] dcomxx: apparently I need some caffeine: ping -c 5 google.com 2>&1 | grep -v "something" > file [00:23] i wish chrome worked on ubuntu, firefox is good but i really like chrome [00:24] rNaReplicaseX: sure, the xorg.conf will use the vesa driver so you will get an x server, you can then do anything you want [00:24] mib_mt72c5n9: its coming [00:24] ActionParsnip: I know. But thanks :) [00:24] nice [00:24] i dont know what it is but chrome just feels right :D [00:24] hi [00:24] mib_mt72c5n9: opera feels nice here. I'm all curious though [00:24] hi [00:24] Hey [00:24] !hi ~ MementoMori [00:24] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:24] with privoxy of course :P [00:25] Davide:did you go thru the forums ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [00:25] mib_mt72c5n9: huh?

I know I've seen this errormsg many times before [00:26] <_Brun0_> How to list "not installed" hw in comand-line? [00:26] KillerOrca: did you reinstall a fresh OS on the new drive or is it just for data [00:26] um ok maybe making it simpler .. how can i just add the current time to each ping ? [00:26] so any idea how i can play my videos off my ntfs drive that i can't mount. its 750gb and its full so i can't format [00:26] anyone running linux on a macbook here? [00:26] mib_mt72c5n9: Why won't it mount? [00:26] ActionParsnip, it is just for data. [00:26] !ntfs3g | mib_mt72c5n9 [00:26] mib_mt72c5n9: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [00:26] mib_mt72c5n9, you'll have to mount it [00:27] KillerOrca: then it shouldnt interfere really. weird. i'd reconfigure the settings as if they have never been set [00:27] um i reinstalled windows but it was something like force it to do it in the terminal. i did what it said but it didn't work [00:27] _Brun0_: do you mean hardware without a running driver?

Could you give me the configure command again? [00:28] Davide: pastebin.ca works for pasting as well [00:28] dcomxx: sure, execute date before the ping, youu may have to have a script to run date then the ping repeatedly [00:29] dcomxx: using a little basj script you can [00:29] My mouse pointer randomly jumps to the bottom of the screen. Any ideas on how to fix that? I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 [00:29] rNaReplicasex: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:29] when i write date before then it prints the date only once .. [00:29] * rNaReplicasex properly writes it down [00:29] Thanks. [00:29] dcomxx: using a little bash script you can [00:29] and how would that look like ? :) [00:29] !mouse | SiegeLord [00:29] SiegeLord: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [00:29] hi - i have a question about networking... i have a samsung nc10 - which has an atheros wifi card.. i'm using the ath5k driver and the performance isn't very good - should i move to the madfi driver? [00:29] ActionParsnip: ok so how did you want me to give you that info? [00:29] dcomxx: thats why you need a script to repeat it [00:30] dcomxx: You will have to run ping with an option to only ping once. Then repeat the date and ping one more time. [00:30] Davide-buntu: lspci [00:30] dcomxx: it's very simple. if you gimme a couple of mins i'll write it for you [00:30] Davide-buntu: run terminal lspci [00:30] ok and just paste in here? [00:30] Davide-buntu: one line will identify the card, write its name in here [00:30] or pm? [00:30] kk [00:30] but wont it flood then ?

I remember you from last night, well at least you're not giving up :D [00:33] ActionParsnip: Just to give you some more info, I tried a few things: I checked alsamixer, and made sure verything was unmuted, I disabled what the system was recognizing as onboard audio, even though there is no onboard audio on the MB [00:33] how might I install a .rpm in ubuntu? [00:33] did that in bios [00:33] !rpm | Cappy|Here [00:33] Cappy|Here: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [00:33] followed a few sets of instructions to try to fix it and got lost... [00:33] eseven73: yes still problemsx [00:33] ActionParsnip, Those two links don't seem to have anything useful in them [00:33] cappy what program are you trying to install? [00:34] It's a USB mouse, but this happens even with the mouse detached [00:34] ActionParsnip, no luck I'm afraid [00:34] Davide-buntu: disable the onboard sound in the bios [00:34] eseven73, thanks for your help. [00:34] Davide, well you're in good hands with ActionParsnip, hang in there :) [00:34] ActionParsnip I already did [00:34] I'm copying over a .rar file to a flash drive, and when I put it in my vista computer, the .rar doesn't show up. When I put it back in my comp running ubuntu, it's there. What might cause this? even renaming the file doesn't help [00:34] cappy np :D [00:35] dcomxx: you can use something like that [00:35] Davide-buntu: run asoundconf in terminal [00:35] for p in $(seq 10); do date; ping -c1 www.google.it ; done [00:35] ariqs: Are you unmounting the flash drive in ubuntu before removing it? [00:35] Oh, nvm... had my stylus on my tablet >_< [00:35] Thanks [00:35] Stupendoussteve, no, actually. I'm not [00:35] ariqs: Also, what filesystem do you have on the flash drive? If it isn't fat then Windows won't be able to see anything on it [00:35] fat32 [00:36] dcomxx: dont remove the -c ping parameter [00:36] what's the default gtk theme that ubuntu uses? [00:36] Stupendoussteve, but the file shows up fine on ubuntu [00:36] ariqs: have you googled to see if vista is ignoring it because of DRM? [00:36] ariqs: not properly unmounting it is your problem ;) [00:37] twolane: then what? [00:37] <_Brun0_> MementoMori, so how can I list hardware without running driver?

[00:38] ? [00:38] what does it mean if your power supply is making a hi pitched noise and the computer wont turn on? [00:38] hello [00:38] Davide-buntu: looks good, i'd need tol check [00:38] MusicGenious: that you have a problem with your power supply ;) [00:38] _Brun0_: you cant directly or at least I dont know if it's possible but you can have a list of all the hw you've plugged in and then check the log to know which driver is managing you hw [00:38] MusicGenious: Doesn't sound good. Your power supply is broken? [00:39] is it a fixable problem or not? [00:39] Hello [00:39] idk, im fixing my friends computer and he doesnt know anything about them [00:39] Davide-buntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-463921.html [00:39] MusicGenious: best bet is to replace the power supply [00:39] MusicGenious: Difficult to say. [00:39] cchaos: hi [00:39] and i was like ok, ill throw a clean version of xp on it and we're good... nope lol. [00:39] _Brun0_: you can list your hw using lspci or lsusb [00:39] if i run ubuntu with the 2.6.27-14 kernel version, when ubuntu loads the display gets dimmed. if i run the 2.6.27-11 kernel everything's fine. any idea what could be wrong or how i could make the screen always be 100% bright? (i checked power settings and brightness is set at 100% ...) [00:39] sebsebseb: he [00:39] MusicGenious: Are you saying it turned on OK before you installed XP? [00:39] sebsebseb: Hi [00:40] no i didnt install anything yet, it just wont turn on [00:40] _Brun0_: and you should check dmesg output and /var/log/messages [00:40] MusicGenious, well, reseat all memory modules, expansion cards, check all cables etc, the usual stuff [00:40] shantzu: did you manually install a video card driver? [00:40] hi, can someone help me get rid of a stale nfs file handle on my /boot [00:40] and he said it turns on but sometimes it doesnt and stuff? idk [00:40] MusicGenious: reset the BIOS [00:40] scunizi: i can't recall, i think i installed some ATI Driver, not sure though. could that be related to it? [00:40] the noise it makes is scary as shit, like when i unplug the power cable from it it sounds like something is gonna explode [00:41] Sounds like someone has been playing with it [00:41] how do you reset the bios? [00:41] MusicGenious, pull the battery out for 5 minutes [00:41] MusicGenious: Look for jumper, or take out the batter [00:41] MusicGenious: Look for jumper, or take out the battery [00:41] shantzu: yes.. when you manually install an ati or nvidia driver it build a kernel mod.. with a new kernel you typically have to reinstall the driver [00:41] are you talking about the little button battery? [00:42] MusicGenious: yes [00:42] i found a shell script .. but how can i make it to repeat every second like normal ping command ? -> http://nixcraft.com/shell-scripting/6446-script-ping-date.html [00:42] dcomxx: did you got my script?

[00:43] well it doesnt wait 1 sec [00:43] dcomxx: use sleep 1 [00:43] Davide-buntu: creative garbage cards are weird at best [00:43] dcomxx, remove -c 1 from the ping command [00:43] dcomxx: no [00:43] my sound has never worked (ubuntu 810) whats the fastest way to fix [00:43] ActionParsnip: Thank you so much!!!

[00:45] scunizi: btw, in 2.6.27-11 everything ran fine without me having to install anything, the driver i installed was just for better support of ATI video boards afaik, shouldn't that also run fine on the other kernel version, without me having to do anything?

[00:47] vlad: So you're used to kde :) You may prefer kubuntu [00:48] Davide: thanks :D [00:48] specifically ath5k vs madwifi? [00:48] no kde is too slow [00:48] yea but i need to run forever [00:48] hey, does anyone know how I can pass the g++ library to the gfortran compiler so I can link my application?

[00:49] dcomxx, while [ true ]; do yourcommand; sleep 1; done [00:49] can i do that like in c ? [00:49] dcomxx: read the ping and printf man pages for having a better output [00:49] vlad, shorewall is already a frontend for iptables, what more do you want? ;) [00:49] and how do I use ssh,can you point me to a good tut [00:49] dcomxx: bash syntax is different from c [00:50] graphics interface?

All I rally want to do is setup a page I can access from within my house to make repetive tasks easier. [01:11] hi, I've checked out Rnews,Wordpress & Gallery2... what are some other web-based php progs like those? thx [01:11] ActionParsnip: And access the page from my nokia n810.

[01:21] centHOGGr: Unless you *actually* wanted to know if anyone uses Apache and PHP (and weren't going to ask a follow up question), then you've already waited at least two minutes where you could have had an answer. [01:21] ActionParsnip: Well, I'll try it. Will the 8.04 version work in 8.10? [01:21] tsLight, you'd use the -F or -X options to iptables .. see the manpage [01:21] Spreadsheet: no, you install xming to get an x server running on your windows system [01:21] dcomxx: echo $(date) - $(ping -c1 google.it | grep ttl); [01:21] unop, thanks [01:21] ActionParsnip: I see [01:21] So then I can run, say gedit, on the Windows comp?

[01:24] Sh3r1ff: If it was, he should've said something, and I could've said "yes". [01:24] ActionParsnip: See above comment [01:24] Spreadsheet, if the windows machine has an X server running (through cygwin e.g.) then yea, you could interact with gedit running on a *nix machine.

BUt I could make a script on my nokia so that all I have to do is "Server-Shutdown" [01:29] matt___, well - what I am talking about is an icon on the phone itself that invokes a script (on the phone again) which uses ssh to connect to your machine and run a command [01:29] is there a valid entity-relation program a linux user can use?

[01:33] HammerHead66: hi [01:33] Mike_lifeguard: anything outside of ~/ is not yours [01:33] hello, sebsebseb ^_^ [01:33] Mike_lifeguard: sudo rm [01:33] sveakex, MementoMori, I mean the hardware that's working so I can browser the net [01:33] Mike_lifeguard: sudo rm -fr blah [01:33] sebsebseb: hello [01:33] Floops, I believe so .. I think Linus Torvalds uses a Mac G3 [01:33] Mike_lifeguard: make sure you have the right filename though, don't want to delete things you still need ;) [01:33] ok, thanks guys [01:33] I have a dbus-python_0.82.4.orig.tar.gz and diff.gz .dsc file, how can I build this into deb package and install it? [01:33] HammerHead66: your here for Ubuntu help? [01:33] rodolfo: ok [01:34] no to help out when I can [01:34] sveakex, MementoMori, I used to use the intel wireless hardware to get connected but now I'm using ta new nobo with atheros driver [01:34] xiamx, are they all in the same folder? [01:34] HammerHead66: your the guy, I am thinking of? [01:34] unop: yup [01:34] xiamx: not that easy [01:34] xiamx: you'll need to install pbuilder [01:34] hello [01:34] sebsebseb: for? [01:34] Hello there. I need some serious help. Running IBEX. Something went wrrong my a change over to the nvidia177 driver today. I rebooed and I get the following error. http://paste.ubuntu.com/148675/ [01:34] TheBase: hi === Guest284724 is now known as Michelle5 [01:34] xiamx, cd to that folder and issue this command. apt-get source -b dbus-python [01:34] thanks unop .. i will try to install then [01:35] HammerHead66: American guy in Australlia? that I helped with Ubuntu [01:35] rodolfo: what atheros are you using? [01:35] sveakex There is the closed source driver available but neither one (open and closed drivers) are as good as intel..funny thing is on windows it really works [01:35] I have a ubuntu 4.2 and I wanted to upgrade it to 8.10. Can that be done or is the version difference too long? [01:35] sveakex the open source driver [01:35] sveakex is this a driver issue? [01:35] sebsebseb: na, sorry you have the wrong guy man [01:35] TheBase: 4.2? [01:35] HammerHead66: ok [01:36] rodolfo: i am not sure what your question is [01:36] anyone here involved in or know anything about opengeu? [01:36] 4.10 you mean? [01:36] TheBase: how long have you not used it? ;) [01:36] Bruce, I think so. This is my /proc/version : [01:36] Linux version 2.6.24-23-generic (buildd@crested) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)) #1 SMP Mon Jan 26 01:04:16 UTC 2009 [01:36] unop: got it thanks [01:36] how to know what tty my copm port is on ??? [01:36] TheBase: lsb_modules -a [01:36] All, I need help with a driver problem. The problem driver can't be fixed. Can only access terminal. [01:36] Sh3r1ff, I've been using it. Just keeping my packages updated [01:36] bruce89: I got it from unop's way, thank you for your help anyway [01:36] TheBase: lsb_release -a [01:36] How do I install an older version of the kernel, which I have in cache? [01:37] TheBase: 4.2 is the version of gcc, not ubuntu ;) [01:37] How do I extract the files out of a .deb file? I tried to open it with the archive manager but was not able to make much of it [01:37] bruce89, 8.04 :p [01:37] sveakex I'm asking about performance [01:37] 4.2 is the gcc then [01:37] TheBase: do-release-upgrade for CLI way [01:37] sveakex I know this has to do with the driver being used so [01:37] Ive got this USB drive that had a e2fs partition yesterday and today it is gone [01:37] rodolfo: so you are having worse perfomance with an atheros network card? [01:37] loquitus_of_borg: look at the data.tar.gz in the deb [01:38] rodolfo: than with the intel card? [01:38] sveakex which one should I choose, the open or closed source driverw [01:38] can anyone recomend a partition recovery utility for ubuntu [01:38] sveakex yeah [01:38] Hi, is there any multi-user video conferenceing software for linux? (as in more than two people) [01:38] bruce89, cool. I'm guessing it will keep my data and now overwrite my user home, etc... , right? [01:38] sveakex neither wire/wireless network do NOT run as fast as it does on windows [01:38] judget__: photorec [01:39] lfaraone... try OOVOO. It has dl for windows & mac. Maybe for linux. [01:39] judget__: foremost and dd_rescure [01:39] TheBase: of course [01:39] rodolfo: i'd go for the closed source driver, the people who make the card probably know how to make the best drivers for them [01:39] bruce89, Just to make sure. [01:39] :) Thanks [01:39] sveakex and I don't know how to identify the hardware in first place [01:39] rodolfo: type lspci in the terminal and you will find the hardware you are using [01:39] judget__: foremost can scan bad partitions and copy data over that matches your criteria, easier way is to restore from your last backup [01:39] anybody know how to use the terminal to log on to a telnet bbs [01:39] sveakex yeah that makes sense [01:40] do-release-upgrade [01:40] Checking for a new ubuntu release [01:40] No new release found [01:40] :( [01:40] TheBase: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:40] !upgrade | TheBase [01:40] TheBase: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [01:40] I'll check it [01:40] thanks [01:40] Could someone please help with an nvidia issue. [01:40] tleeonly: telnet IP? ;) [01:40] my last backup is aover a week old [01:40] TheBase: use gksudo [01:40] TheBase: actually, do-release-upgrade -c maybe [01:40] i only have the address not the ip [01:41] tleeonly: works as well ;) [01:41] TheBase: LTS releases only check for LTSs you see [01:41] ok [01:41] Is there perchance a way to see what drivers I have? I remember activating a proprietary one and I can't remember which one it is. [01:41] judget__: harsh, then recover what you can then use your backup to fill the holes of what is unrecoverable [01:41] sveakex please check it out @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/148685/ [01:41] judget__: i dont believe the filenames are preserved if the corruption is sufficient [01:41] Peach: What is your problem? Someone might be able to help, if you tell us your problenm [01:42] WebCamWonder; Running IBEX. Something went wrrong my a change over to the nvidia177 driver today. I rebooed and I get the following error. http://paste.ubuntu.com/148675/ [01:42] rodolfo: line 23 is your wireless card [01:42] bruce89, I see. Thanks again [01:42] Peach: What were you switching from? [01:42] Is there a way I can check which GFX driver I am using? [01:43] sveakex is it? i thought it is talking about the wireless LAN card adapter [01:43] hey everyone im back with another noob mistake... [01:43] :) [01:43] sveakex I'm currently using the wired connection -sorry I forgot to mention this- [01:43] anyone here using linux on a macbook? [01:43] I've connected an mp3 player to my computer via USB, but it is not recognized by ubuntu. Do I need to mount it as a drive or something to use it? [01:43] webcamwonder: Actually , Synaptci showed I had received an updated nvidia driver... somnething like 180 or something. I was switching FROM 177 to 180. [01:43] R0b0t1: You can check the modules using, lsmod, but you need to have some hints regarding what module you are looking for [01:43] Peach: yeah, it looks like I'm out of luck. no *nix support. [01:44] rodolfo: then you are using the hardware on line 22 [01:44] WebcamWonder: I think it was nVidia. I'm on an iMac. [01:44] lafaraone... 10-4. [01:44] !ask | kitchenrange [01:44] kitchenrange: 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. :-) [01:44] sveakex ooops they're not the same -_- [01:44] So, I was reading through on how to correctly use port forwarding, and I was editing my /etc/network/interfaces. The problem is that I accidentally saved over my old one without backing up my old one. How would i reset my network? I wasnt asking sherriff [01:44] R0b0t1: lsmod | grep nvidia, if that returns anything, you are using closed source drivers, else open source [01:45] rodolfo: hehe, one is wired, the other is wireless [01:45] Peach: So, are you even getting a GUI right now? [01:45] AH! opening rhythmbox makes it detected [01:45] thanks [01:45] WebCamWonder: no. X won't start. Can only access terminal. [01:45] WebcamWonder: Nothing but I know it is proprietary [01:45] Peach: Go into X.org, and switch to nv [01:45] sveakex yep..since 'hardware driver' from ubuntu just tell me about the atheron closed source driver being available I think it's safe to say that I'm using the open source driver available for this adapter [01:46] sveakex and this is bad because I have no other option to switch...my connection is 3MB and it looks like 256Kbps [01:46] the cuda toolkit is not Compatible with 9.04? [01:46] hmm, well the player detectes that it's connected & rhythmbox does too, but I still can't see any way to send files to the player :\ [01:46] R0b0t1: Do a, lsmod | grep nv [01:46] how to swtich to nv in x.org? You mean xorg.conf , not x? [01:47] How would i reset my internet settings on ubuntu? [01:47] rodolfo: that's average for here [01:47] plz. reword. thanks. [01:47] sveakex then waht would you do? [01:47] WebcamWonder: Peach it's not x.org buy sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf to switch to the nv driver. [01:47] rodolfo: look around in the gnome menu to look for what drivers it is using [01:47] heh, because it's not supported in rhythmbox [01:47] *buy=but [01:47] Peach, Driver "nv" in xorg.conf [01:47] WebcamWonder: Ok, well, I found it, but I can't find the version. ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRC graphics driver [01:47] * Mike_lifeguard searches for something that /does/ support that [01:48] Although, if I could just place files on the device manually, it'd work just fine [01:48] ok... I tried switching back to a previous, default xorg.conf file and it didn't work. [01:48] whos gonna buy nano? I thought everything in linux was free? Hehe j/k scunizi :P [01:48] but that means mounting it, I assume [01:48] sveakex network tools? [01:48] eseven73: :) [01:48] eseven73: why use nano if you have vi? ;) [01:48] speed :P [01:49] I heard that Sh3r1ff :D my main nick is _VIM_ [01:49] Sh3r1ff: 'cause nano has a human readable menu :) [01:49] Peach: Could you pastebin your current xorg.conf? [01:49] rodolfo: no, there should be an item which shows which drivers you are using [01:49] This has to be one of the easiest questions ever asked on a regular basis in here, How would i reset my network settings? [01:49] unfortunately, no. [01:50] I'm on a seperate windows computer now. [01:50] Sh3r1ff: i find nano more human, vi has weird command mode which i personally find surplus and confusing [01:50] Peach: Do you have internet on that PC? [01:50] kitchenrange: sudo /etc/init.d/network restart I believe [01:50] i added users with adduser but they are not displayed in my gdm theme [01:50] helo [01:50] what can i do? [01:50] * eseven73 used to respect ActionParsnip [01:50] :P [01:50] Hi everyone!, I've a question... I'm pretty new at linux, I mean... I've installed it several times on my PC but i've gotten desperate and got back to Windows.... right now I'm trying to setup a "mythbuntu" box... [01:50] the weird thing is... I got the same error upon boot up as I did wit hthe other xorg.conf file. [01:50] eseven73: heh [01:51] Actually, I had 3 backups and none of them had any affect. [01:51] ActionParsnip, try going to line 5000 in a jiffy with nano :) [01:51] scunizi, ActionParsnip: depends on what you want, if you get used to vi, it is as easily as nano, but way exceeds the possibilities of nano [01:51] My Motherboard is an Intel D975XBX with 6Gb DDR2 RAM and 2 160Gb hard drives... [01:51] Peach: That probably means you are still using the nvidia driver... oepn up xorg.conf, and tell me if you see a line something like Driver "nvidia" [01:51] one sec. [01:51] I'm tryint to setup my HDDs as a RAID 1 array [01:52] Sh3r1ff: well.. OF COURSE.. vi is a mazaratti.. nano is a geo metro.. but most of us don't need a mazaratti to go from point a to b [01:52] so that I can get as much as 6Gbps out of my HDDs as well as 320GB of capacity... [01:52] WebCamWonder: yep... "Section Device" Driver "nvidia" [01:52] scunizi: for some reason it is telling me that command not found [01:52] unop: nano +107 filename [01:52] Peach: Great, backup the current xorg.conf (just for the sake of it), and change that to Driver "nv" [01:52] unop: will go to line 107 in nfilename ;) [01:53] doing it now. [01:53] when I run Mythbuntu's setup, it doesn't recognize the raid... instead, it recognizes two 160Gb HDDs.... [01:53] done. [01:53] reboot? [01:53] kitchenrange: then I got it wrong.. but the only wrong part is the "network" statement.. everything else remains.. [01:53] scunizi: indeed you don't, but if you are able to drive the mazaratti, i would pick the mazaratti ;) [01:53] hola [01:53] Peach: a, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start, should do just fine :) [01:53] i am mexican... [01:53] Cyberman, i don't believe ubuntu supports raid install via default [01:53] will do. [01:53] Cyberman, you need a -alternative cd [01:53] !es | luis_ [01:53] luis_: 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. [01:53] ActionParsnip: Ok, I can log into the server over ssh at "matt" without a password, but I cannot log into the system at all as root. I have to ssh in as matt and then sudo su. How can I fix this? [01:53] sorry my english is bad! [01:53] Sh3r1ff: I'd be tempted to spin donuts around my text files :) [01:54] matt: you never sudo su, you sudo -i [01:54] mexicans??

[01:54] ActionParsnip: Ok ok, but I cannot ssh in as root, which I want to do. Oh wait oh wait, ubuntu has the root account disabled by default doesn't it? [01:54] Hi I'm having a problem with Jaunty. For some reason it is not detecting my external usb drive until I replug it. [01:54] eseven73: no [01:54] scunizi: if you gatta spin, you might as well spin in style ;) [01:54] Any ideas what could be happening? [01:54] ActionParsnip, fair enough .. so you've gotten to line #107 .. now get to line #5000 without restarting nano :) === histo_ is now known as histo [01:54] bruce89: mx is a dirt bike [01:54] !jaunty | dawson [01:54] dawson: 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. [01:54] eseven73: it says I did what I did first, we did it about the same time [01:54] matt: yes and its massively unsecure to enable it [01:55] Cyberman, is it hardware raid? [01:55] crweb2, you're telling me I need a -alternative CD... how can I get or make such a CD? [01:55] sebastien, you must be lagging then :P [01:55] ActionParsnip: Ok, so how am I going to be able to ssh into the server and shut it down? [01:55] yes.... it's a hardware RAID. embedded on the motherboard. [01:55] WebCamWonder: If you were a chick, I'd ask you out on a DATE!!!!!!! [01:55] ActionParsnip: all from one script from a remote computer? [01:55] Cyberman, fakeraid or real raid? [01:55] Cyberman: the channel seems rather instant, but my client Konversation does say down there: Lag: 131 ms [01:55] WebCamWonder: that means it worked! once again.... thank you guys VERY MUCH. [01:55] eseven73: uh I sent to wrong guy see above [01:56] matt: ssh once logged in then sudo shutdown -P now will shut EVERYTHING down including power.. [01:56] scunizi: also the ISO code for Mexico [01:56] hi ppl. I installed 'jack' and 'mixxx'. The sound from mixxx gets to the audio card, so I hear the mp3 playing. But for no reason at all, the sound just dies for a couple of seconds, and then comes back again. No errors in mixxx or jack. I'm on ubuntu 8.10. Somebody who knows about this, I would really appreciate some help!! [01:56] Peach: LOL. That was the easy part, getting your GUI to work with the opensource drivers, now is the hard part, fixing the broken packages on your PC [01:56] Cyberman: sent to wrong guy heh [01:56] Cyberman, fakeraid depending on your motherboard might not be supported. I don't know much about that [01:56] bruce89: well yea.. but that's no fun [01:56] I think it's real... I set it up from the RAIDs BIOS.... [01:56] matt: you can add yourself to the sudo group and edit /etc/sudoers to allow that group membership to run stuff without a password [01:56] yeah. I'm going to try to fix that now. Thank you much for your advice. I REALLY appreciate it. [01:56] scunizi: no, carry on then [01:56] scunizi: But.........I would have to type the password wouldn't i? [01:56] Cyberman, what motherboard? [01:56] Windows recognizes the RAID as an INTEL HDD RAID.... [01:56] ActionParsnip: Oh, that's cool. [01:56] D975XBX [01:56] ActionParsnip: Is that safe? [01:57] matt: its a bit better [01:57] ActionParsnip: Ok, but It'll work. [01:57] matt: to shut down or log in via ssh.. via ssh ..yes you'll need a password but to shutdown .. well yes it will as for one [01:57] Peach: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers, and make sure that all the nVidia drivers are uninstalled /de-activated [01:57] scunizi: Not if I use other stuff................................................... [01:57] Cyberman: linux doesn't see the raid? is it software or hardware based? [01:57] matt: like? [01:57] ActionParsnip: Ok, adding myself to the sudo grup...tell me. [01:58] scunizi: ssh keys [01:58] Linux doesn't see it... and it's a HARDWARE based RAID... [01:58] scunizi: and add myself to the sudo group. [01:58] Cyberman, i think its actually a fakeraid [01:58] matt: ok.. so you'll automate it.. great.. same effect though [01:58] !raid | Cyberman [01:58] Cyberman: raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [01:58] Cyberman, hardware raid usually costs about $250+ by itself [01:58] ActionParsnip: How can I add myself to the group over cli? [01:59] how can I know if it's a fakeraid or a real one? [01:59] mexicans?? [01:59] matt: whats the issue? [01:59] histo: I want to add myself to the sudo group. [01:59] mattsure [01:59] !adduser [01:59] To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [01:59] Cyberman, well, fakeraid is just what it is called when a motherboard says it can raid0 or raid1 but the support is completely done by a software driver [01:59] I'm a mexican Luis, but I won't speak spanish in this channel. [02:00] matt: you add yourself to the admin group to have sudo access [02:00] ok... My MB says that... but the RAID's management is done entirely via hardware... [02:00] matt: you can add the user account with adduser in terminal, and then edit the groups easilely graphically :d [02:00] sebsebseb: Not on a remote server :) [02:00] matt: sudo adduser $USER sudo [02:00] Cyberman, no via bios [02:00] matt: groupadd [02:00] Cyberman, hardware raid the system never sees the drives all access is done via a separate controller [02:00] ActionParsnip: it'd be sudo adduser matt sudo, wouldn't it? [02:00] matt: oh on a server, well then yeah I guess not, unless a GUI is installed, but for just that hummm, not much point [02:00] matt: nvm dont' use group add hold up [02:00] Cyberman, the bios setup just tells the raid driver that you install in windows what to do [02:01] matt: admin is the group not sudo [02:01] I'm trying to set up a samba network. I already have one set up on my main desktop but I'm trying to create a simple one on my spare desktop and I can't get it to work. On a windows laptop when I ping my main desktop by hostname, it works. W hen I ping the secondary one, which is the problematic one, it errors out and says it has no idea what it is. How can I get samba to recognize my host name so it can work? [02:01] matt: there is no sudo group === RedMushroom-AFK is now known as RedMushroom [02:01] matt: yeah, mine works even though I dint know your user name ;) [02:01] that's correct... once I setup the RAID... the BIOS sees an INTEL HDD RAID instead of two maxtor drives. [02:01] Cyberman, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto#head-7918ab0def192cdf40484077136a40241732c669 [02:01] Cyberman, unless you paid 300+ for the mb, you have fake raid [02:01] matt: sudo adduser matt admin [02:02] I paid some $350 [02:02] ActionParsnip: Oh, that's cool, the variable I mean. [02:02] as I recall.. [02:02] ActionParsnip: Now...the sudoers file thing....

[02:05] @matt Have you used sudo in the last fifteen minutes? If so, you don't have to retype the password. [02:05] matt: then experiment, see if its ok [02:05] hey all after some help i am trying to copy files from a folder on my desktop to a folder on the hard-drive but i dont have the permissions [02:06] <_djsl_> get the permissions , it´s simple :P [02:06] tt5786: do you mean on an external hard drive? [02:06] ActionParsnip: I will, I'm booting my nokia n810 now, going to write a script to eject my cd, because I CANNOT reboot right now, backing up files. So...how does the ssh with command thing go? [02:06] I'm trying to set up a samba network. I already have one set up on my main desktop but I'm trying to create a simple one on my spare desktop and I can't get it to work. On a windows laptop when I ping my main desktop by hostname, it works. W hen I ping the secondary one, which is the problematic one, it errors out and says it has no idea what it is. How can I get samba to recognize my host name so it can work? [02:06] ActionParsnip: adding him to sudoers will still prompt for password. he just needs to add his user to the group admin though [02:06] tt5786: the files on the desktop are on a hard drive you know' [02:06] tt5786, try alt F2 and then gksu nautilus and then copy the files [02:06] histo: you also need to uncomment part of /etc/sudoers [02:06] yes but those files i can access and move but can not compy them to lets say the filestraem [02:07] Roasted: unfortunately with linux you would need your own dns to ping by hostnames [02:07] notify-send can't show up notify window when have a *fullscreen* application is running, how to fix? I test it in Debian, haven't this problem, but in Ubuntu can't work. Any help? Thanks! [02:07] histo, unless he put them in /etc/hosts :) [02:07] histo - that makes no sense how I can ping 1 linux computer and connect to that computer through samba yet the other computer doesn't work, period. [02:08] Anybody? [02:08] tt5786: check your mounting options [02:08] Roasted: you can try setting the netbios name [02:08] histo - I did. [02:08] Roasted: are you pinging from windows? [02:08] yes - XP [02:08] thanls [02:08] Itacious: i'd ask in #gentoo, those guys do that loads [02:08] how do I read a ntfs drive from ubuntu? [02:08] Roasted: windows networks suck who knows which machine is controlling the master browsing. [02:08] mrwes [02:08] is there a packages i need ? [02:08] tt5786, yes? [02:08] Nevermind, I'll try Pentium M... Core Duo appears to derived from that. [02:09] histo - I'm willing to bet if windows networks suck then it wouldn't be able to ping my main linux desktop. But since it can, it's easy to rule that one out. [02:09] Thanks, ActionParsnip. [02:09] kaffien: mount it to an empty folder, linux can read ntfs natively, if you want to write to it you need ntfs-3g [02:09] kaffien: ntfs-3g does it. It should be installed by default on a regular install. You should just try to access the drive, and it should mount it for you [02:09] Roasted: try adding the host to /etc/hosts [02:09] this is a real quick and dirty samba setup, so I have a feeling I missed a step, yet I am unsure of what step because I traced back my steps and compared it to my main desktop and I can't see anything that's different. [02:09] Roasted: netbios can take 15-20minutes to propagate to other machines [02:09] ActionParsnip, it will not mount [02:09] histo - ahhhh that's right [02:09] Roasted: the way the networks work sucs [02:09] histo - I remember that now [02:09] Roasted: Make sure smbfs is installed [02:10] Hi, I cant get Jaunty to recognize my Sansa mp3 player.

[02:10] OK, I found my usb device using 'lsusb' -- but how can I mount it if it's not shown in 'fdisk -l'? [02:10] kaffien, sudo mount.... [02:10] would restarting the XP computer have a better chance of it working? [02:11] yeah sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/hdd [02:11] ActionParsnip: Ok, sudoers file, It's needed. [02:11] i get unknown filesystem ntfs [02:11] it seems this is gonna take me some time to read and understand.... especially knowing wether my MB has a softRAID, a fakeraid or a real one... I'll try that later on... right now I don't have the time.... thank you very much anyway... see you later.. [02:11] kaffien: you'll need to make the folder /mnt/hdd if you wanna use that [02:12] What is the best commandline mail client? [02:12] im using 2.6.21-4 kernel [02:12] i've made the dir [02:12] <_Brun0_> histo, i'm using ubuntu command-line install. please read the pastebin. [02:12] matt: yep, edit it (its glaringly obvious where) to get it sorted [02:12] it's saying the ntfs is an invalid filesystem [02:12] kaffien, then do a chown yourusername:yourusername /mnt/hdd [02:12] er sudo of couse [02:12] course * [02:12] ActionParsnip: I think I did it, but I'm not sure if it'll work until I reboot. [02:12] yes mr wes [02:12] its not giving me access errors [02:13] its telling me ntfs is invalid [02:13] How do I get imagemagick working with PHP? [02:13] matt: good luck dude, you have that backup file so you can easily rollback [02:13] kaffien: Did you compile the kernel yourself? [02:13] kaffien, is the drive formatted ntfs? [02:13] ActionParsnip: Not exactly :( All it does is backup the files from my desktop to my server, in terms of data and music. [02:13] <_Brun0_> Why alsamixer correctly shows my sound card and aplay -l cant? [02:15] matt: no, the command i gave backed up the original file before editing [02:16] histo - This laptop has dual boot. I booted to Ubuntu. I cannot ping or connect to the other computer I just set up samba on, which is runnign intrepid. [02:16] ActionParsnip: Oh, I never ran it :) [02:16] the drive is ntfs [02:16] i wasnt thinking lol [02:16] the kernel is just a generic gernel [02:16] matt: i always advise a rolback clause [02:17] i havent bothered compiling because im low on battery power [02:17] histo - I lied. It wasnt able to ping my main desktop by hostname either. I connected to it successfully with ubuntu to ubuntu. XP partition didnt recognize the hostname yet. [02:17] anyone know how to get exaile to import a directory into your library folder ? [02:17] ActionParsnip: Right, I know. [02:17] kaffien: Try, the ntfs-3g as the driver name [02:17] will try [02:17] ActionParsnip: %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL [02:18] isn't that right?

[02:18] ActionParsnip: Well, the command I ran from my nokia worked, but I had to enter my password. [02:18] swearengen: do you know how to open a terminal? [02:19] swearengen: umount [02:19] swearengen: use umount [02:19] OK, so in the end the problem is that I can find the device with 'lsusb' but not 'fdisk -l' -- so I don't know how to mount it, so I cannot use it. Is there a way to mount it with the information from lsusb? [02:19] If I installed ubuntu twice, can I safely assume the latest partition is the one with GRUB [02:19] Roasted: hodl up you migh tonly need winbind i'm checking [02:19] How do I get variables in snippits? ie if I have expander2#var, how can I get var [02:20] swearengen, You can never safely assume anything. [02:20] histo - What is it about ubuntu that isnt allowing it to ping my main desktop, which is ubuntu? I'm on ubuntu on my laptop trying to ping my ubuntu desktop. [02:20] ActionParsnip: For the sudoers file to take place, what needs to be done?

[02:20] if it's listed first in GRUB does that mean it has GRUB [02:20] no [02:20] Roasted: yest by netbios name you need winbind installed on the linux boxes. Then edit the file like I told you it will resolve by wins name then and all will be happy [02:21] Roasted: I just did it on my machines [02:21] but it doesn't mean that drive can't boot [02:21] whatever, im deleting the old one [02:21] we'll see what happens =P [02:21] swearengen, well, it shouldn't be a big deal. You can always boot off a recovery cd and fix it [02:21] matt: looks good dude [02:21] Mike_lifeguard, after plugging in the drive; from the terminal type dmesg | tail and see if it reports the device there [02:22] ActionParsnip: Then why isn't it working:( [02:22] ActionParsnip: Should I reboot?

[02:25] no [02:25] matt: i'm unsure about the sudoers file and if it needs a reboot [02:25] ActionParsnip: I'll wait for the backup to finish, and then I'll try. I think it'll work, thanks!

OGG and Flac are nice open standard formats for audio and video. etc [02:49] * histo goes back in his hole. [02:49] dt3k, what percentage of computer users know what a .flak file is? [02:49] histo: that's a deep hole :) [02:49] !ot [02:49] matrixblue_; a lot more if it was the standard.

[02:50] mrwes: slow bot? [02:50] mrwes: no, it's just i used it too quickly in succession on the same factoid. [02:50] guess that must be because my first call on it was ignored. [02:50] mrwes: sebsebseb just wait till it floodbots and bans itself thats the best. [02:50] I would use the open standards but when it's time for collaboration with windows users it causes problems [02:51] irssi [02:51] best to wait til we win the war for that [02:51] mp3 was created in 1991 and we are still using that as the audio standard when there are far superior formats.

[02:51] how can i alter the permissions of the folder /var/www (and all of it's contents) to allow a local user full read/write/execute permissions? [02:51] RedMushroom: how do you define "local user"? [02:52] another user on the computer, ie, i have two users, root and "user" and i want user to have those permissions for that folder [02:52] RedMushroom: why can't you just make that user a member of the www-data (or www or what's it called right now) group? [02:52] because i don't know how [02:52] usermod -G www-data [02:53] hey, i have a quick question: when ubuntu 8.10 is installed to a usb drive, can applications be installed on it or is it akin to the live cd? [02:53] Hi everybody! I'm a Journalist and I'm trying to take screenshots of Jaunty for an article I will publish on a swiss news paper the day of jaunty release. I have a problem with my Jaunty installation in VirtualBox 2.2. I installed Jaunty and I installed the guest additions too but now I'm missing the mouse cursor and I don't know what to do. Can you help me please? [02:53] I believe you can install apps [02:53] tictac: does that have to be run in sudo? [02:53] RedMushroom: add your user to the group that owns www [02:53] readability: yes. [02:53] i mounted an iso to a local folder (/media/fakeCD) now i want to change what cd is mounted but i can't because it's already mounted more than once. umount gives me the same error [02:53] histo: root owns www [02:54] RedMushroom: yes but who is the group [02:54] nonewmsgs: so umount the cd. [02:54] RedMushroom: I believe there is a www or www-data group [02:54] histo: root. [02:54] histo: there is, but by default, at least on Hardy, /var/www is owned by root. [02:54] i'm using intrepid ibex (8.10) [02:54] LjL: thats so annoying to new users something that needs to be addressed. [02:54] scunizi: hey, just wanted to tell u that the cube thing resolved itself with a RESTART... bruuutal [02:55] LjL: there should be a www group or www-data group by default no? [02:55] tictac it wont let me! umount: it seems /media/fakeCD is mounted multiple times [02:55] Neff, what happens when you click within the window of virtualbox? [02:55] LjL: that atleast the admin group has access to without pass [02:55] histo: there *is* a www-data group. [02:55] RedMushroom, why don't you use the userdir apache module .. so you can place content in ~/public_html and access it at http://host/~yourusername/ [02:55] nonewmsgs: sudo umount /media/fakeCD [02:55] histo: it's just not the owner of /var/www [02:56] Neff: right ctrl [02:56] matrixblue_: happens that the arrow cursor disappears [02:56] nonewmsgs: do it multiple times if you need to. also, make sure nothing is using it. [02:56] unop: that's what i was thinking [02:56] tictac, i just gave you the error message that produces [02:56] Neff: I dimly recall virtualbox offered a setting whether to use software or hardware cursor... [02:56] Neff, what is the host operating system? [02:56] RedMushroom, with this way - you don't have to mess with permissions .. just create a directory in your home directory, place content in there [02:56] nonewmsgs: whats the error? [02:56] Radtoo: Neff i've never had a problem with virtual box and mouse control wiht guest additions. But then i've run virutal box on ubuntu host [02:56] histo Radtoo matrixblue_ I'm using ubuntu Intrepid ;) [02:57] unop: that's what i'm doing now [02:57] Neff: right ctrl I belivee is the default escape key. it says down in the bottom right of the virtual box window. [02:57] RedMushroom, I'm sorry, but I don't see the problem then :) [02:58] tictac ok now it's working cheers [02:58] Neff: if not opne a terminal hitting alt+f2 in the virtual machine and sudo shutdown -h now. Then see ifyou get mouse back. If not then ctrl+alt+backspace to restart the hosts X [02:58] nonewmsgs: np [02:59] histo that is not my problem.. I know how to use VBox but my problem is that I'm not able to see the cursor when VBox grab my mouse... The cursor disappears but the mouse is still working. [02:59] Neff :and the mouse cursor reappear when you press the host key? [02:59] matrixblue_: yes [02:59] Neff: hrm... no idea then [02:59] matrixblue_: it desappears in the VM only [02:59] histo: It can happen... there was a bug in an older version of VBox (version 1.5 or something), plus it happened to me on ati drivers at one point. [02:59] matrixblue_: and only with jaunty... [03:00] hey guys i just installed ubuntu ? i am new do i have iptables? [03:00] Neff: just create another VM using the same virtual hard drive [03:00] Neff: As this happened after you installed the guest additions I do think it happened because it switched from software to hardware mouse cursor... [03:00] kickar: yes [03:01] kickar: almost all linux distributions have it vy default [03:01] *by === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:01] Radtoo: I have this problem since I installed my guest additions. Before the cursor was visible (but of course screen resolution was bad) [03:01] lstarnes, is there easyway to configure it ? any GUI scripts? [03:01] kmyfirewall? [03:01] !firewall | kickar [03:02] kickar: 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). [03:02] kickar: there is ufw and I there GUI frontends like firestarter [03:02] Neff: Just turn it back to software cursor. If you have that setting and I'm not wrong (using too many virtualization solutions and too infrequently to be sure) [03:02] lstarnes, thank you ! [03:02] Neff, just create another VM using the same virtual hard drive [03:02] Radtoo: What does it mean? How can I switch to software cursor? [03:03] Neff, that should reset all the setting you changed but the install itself will be the same [03:03] Yeah baby yuo can do it!!! [03:03] Yeah baby yuo can do it!!! [03:03] matrixblue_: I don't think this will solve the problem because Guest additions are installed in the virtual hard drive [03:03] Yeah baby! [03:03] Yeah baby yuo can do it!!! [03:03] Yeah baby yuo can do it!!! [03:03] Tony-Little: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:04] Yeah baby! [03:04] matrixblue_: the only thing I changed was not in the VM, but in the virtual disk, where I only installed VBox Guest additions [03:04] matrixblue_: the only thing I can do maybe is to install another version of VBox and see what happens [03:05] Neff, if the keyboard still works use terminal to remove the guest additions then [03:05] hey guys [03:05] quick question [03:05] huh [03:05] I'm on ubuntu 9.04 alpha and im trying to do an upgrade, some of the packages aren't locking so by doing system update does it go into beta or do i need to redownload an .iso?

[03:06] matrixblue_: That will not solve my problem. I need to have full screen res. to make screenshots for the press.... so I need the guest additions installed. I was hoping to find a solution to the missing pointer... if there is [03:06] Wavesonics: it stands for "et cetera" [03:06] tictac, now im trying to mount another image and it's whining! mount: you must specify the filesystem type [03:06] ah... [03:06] thx [03:06] ah ok [03:06] Wavesonics: also, man hier [03:06] lol [03:06] matrixblue_: In an old version of VBox I had the same problem [03:06] why are my application menus dissappearing [03:06] Neff, do a screenshot from within the VM [03:07] Wavesonics: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#ETCHOSTSPECIFICSYSTEMCONFIGURATION [03:07] matrixblue_: you don't get the problem... i have to move windows, try programs and without a mouse cursor I cannot do it... [03:07] thx :) [03:08] Neff: Ah, sorry - found a forum entry from last year where a sun staffer said you can't disable the hardware cursor except by disabling the guest additions... :/ [03:08] makes ya wounder what its not called /config [03:08] Radtoo, you in here ? [03:08] Radtoo: Neff why not use a more current version of virtualbox? [03:08] im trying to mount an iso using the -o loop thing and mount is saying mount: you must specify the filesystem type [03:08] wizered: can you be more specific? [03:08] nonewmsgs: what fiel system is it? [03:08] my sendmail is working very intermitently :/ [03:08] histo more current? there is something newer than 2.2? [03:08] nonewmsgs: use also -t iso9660 [03:08] Neff, I understand. When you disable guest additions you'll have your mouse and when you do the screenshot from in the VM then you'll have a full resolution shot [03:08] Neff: Ahh I thought you were experiencing a bug from prior to 1.5 [03:09] on some of my programs where it says file edit ect... is just lines [03:09] genii, histo but i never had to before? [03:09] nonewmsgs: If it's an -rw or so, -t udf [03:09] wizered: are you using kde or gnome? [03:09] histo that is exactly the same problem but with a current version of vbox [03:09] thebackwash: gnome [03:10] sendmail ftl :( [03:10] oh ok it's a bad image guys [03:10] Neff: #virtualbox may be able to provide more advice [03:10] what provides Apache2.pm ? [03:10] wizared: that's a really strange problem. i have no idea what it might be in gnome. sorry. [03:10] Matson: use apt-file [03:10] Matson: libaoache2-mod-perl I think [03:10] histo ok, I'll try there [03:10] Neff: Q: Did you have ati drivers?

[03:45] scunizi: i'm not even on the electoral register dude :) [03:45] bosco: you mean you want to share a partition between windows and linux? [03:45] bosco: ubuntu should be using a filesystem native to linux, such as ext3 [03:45] Hey y'all [03:45] hey [03:45] sisterblue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=268319 [03:46] rashed2020 hi [03:46] can someone point me to a good website with very basic explanations of linux terminal commands? [03:46] hi guys, can help ? ... my built-in bluetooth is not detected, nothing shows up on 'hcitool dev' [03:46] i'm used to using a command prompt, but in DOS [03:46] linux is completely new to me :( [03:46] what about a lexmark x3430. [03:46] bosco: linux won't run in ntfs.. windows won't run in ext3.. but they can share either a ntfs or ext3 partition for data.. typically ext3 is good .. there's a driver for windows to see it [03:47] h8red: terminal is similar but has a billion times more power, if you are new just use the system and get used to it [03:47] scunizi: more info please [03:47] h8red: lots of the concepts translate.. if you know dos or some of it you'll catch on easier [03:47] cchaos: ? [03:47] scunizi, right look at the screen shot of gparted and i need to know what i need to edit since i have no space left so i dont loose any os [03:47] scunizi: There is a driver for ext2, not for ext3. If you use the ext2, you get to turn off disabling. Ntfs-3g, on the other hand, is much better [03:47] scunizi: journaling* [03:47] scunizi: re: driver for XP to read ext3 [03:47] ActionParsnip: I've only been using Ubuntu 1 day now [03:48] bosco: and Ext4 is just round the corner in Ubuntu 9.04, and Linux can read and write nicely to NTFS. and there's a Ext3 driver for Windows [03:48] Whatever commands I've entered I've typed off the web [03:48] I have no idea what I'm typing [03:48] h8red: then just get used to it for now, get your hardware setup and then have fun [03:48] xsane doesnt work with a lexmark x3430. what will [03:48] h8red: Google has many, http://www.google.com/search?q=beginner%27s+guide+to+Linux+terminal&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a [03:48] h8red: thats fine for now [03:48] cool thanks [03:49] bosco: so you're just trying to create another partition?..

[03:59] h8red; you'd use apt-get remove for that [04:00] h8red: It will ask you to remove the ubuntu-desktop metapackage, which can sound a little disturbing, but it isn't. However, for new uesrs, I recommend just keeping it around [04:00] sebsebseb: fair enough [04:00] okay. it's not taking up much space anyway im sure [04:00] thatarmyengineer, I', not entirely sure the wubi installer works on Windows 7 as that OS isn't officially release yet. (it would be retarded if Microsoft blocked Ubuntu in Windows 7) [04:00] i'm assuming vlc is the best linux video player? [04:00] h8red: I prefer mplayer handsdown [04:00] h8red: no it's not the best [04:00] h8red, well many people think so I personally use mplayer [04:01] oh, really? [04:01] well it wont [04:01] h8red: mplayer is good and banshee [04:01] h8red: I use both vlc and mplayer.. [04:01] h8red, vlc is great on windows though :) [04:01] !best | h8red [04:01] h8red: 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. [04:01] as soon as it was installed i restarted and then bam windows 7 loaded no option to load ubuntu [04:01] h8red: vlc will also tune online tv and radio [04:01] i didn't care for vlc on windows [04:01] more of a media player classic kinda guy [04:01] but i figured it was better in linux or something [04:01] thatarmyengineer: you could try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [04:02] sudo deletebillgates -F -r now [04:02] j/k [04:02] h8red: Like most people said here. It boils down to personal preference, and most people either choose mplayer or vlc [04:02] thatarmyengineer, Other than trying the install again I'm out of ideas. Try the Ubuntu forums [04:02] thatarmyengineer: Were you trying wubi? [04:02] yes [04:03] thats what i installed it with i believe [04:03] i just did a quicksearch in synaptic for mplayer and nothing came up [04:03] Xcell: that would be sudo rm -rf bill.gates [04:03] matrixblue_: new ram is in [04:03] wow.. worked.. thanks [04:03] not sure what i'm doing wrong... i have the medibuntu packages in there [04:03] thatarmyengineer: Here is the bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/318135 [04:03] I just installed a new DVD writer and HDD and my screen resolution is now set incorrectly, and the option that it was previously set at is now gone, any ideas? [04:04] shippo, try the install option from the first menu [04:04] h8red: Are you sure. Fire up a terminal and tell me if this command works, aptitude show mplayer [04:05] matrixblue_: trying that now [04:06] shippo, crossing fingers [04:06] yeah webcam [04:06] it pasted a whole bunch of stuff [04:06] says not installed though [04:06] Hello... I was wondering whether there's any simple way to make the little calendar in the corner in Gnome (seems to be called "Clock" and made by the FSF) to display Monday as the first day of the week? === Crazy_Hopp is now known as Crazy_Hopper [04:06] h8red: Meh... I never liked synaptic in the first place :p.... Don't know why it isn't working for you though [04:06] h8red: use cheese to test web cam [04:06] h8red, sudo apt-get install mplayer [04:06] h8red: sudo aptitude install mplayer, to install it [04:07] thanks [04:07] sebsebseb, why not just use your computer to test it? :p [04:07] sebsebseb: You want to test me? :P [04:07] Rounin: seems to be set on mine as starting day: monday [04:07] but searching in the package manager...something 'should' come up when i search right [04:07] h8red, I like smplayer which is a front end to mplayer (gives better controls) [04:07] okay [04:07] thanks guys [04:07] That's odd, cchaos... Is there a setting somewhere, or does it just detect it somehow, you think? [04:08] h8red: Yeah. On the left, there would be a category saying programs installed, not installed. Try switching the categotry [04:08] Rounin: give me a min: Im playing with it [04:08] sudo aptitude install smplayer [04:08] thats what im about to do [04:08] B3rz3rdk3r and WebcamWonder did I miss something? I thought someone wanted to get a web cam working, and I haven't used cheese personally [04:08] Sure [04:09] sebsebseb: He was asking about mplayer and abreviatted my nick :) [04:09] matrixblue_: same thing! :( [04:09] h8red: Yup, that would install mplayer [04:09] WebcamWonder: oh ok [04:09] shippo, where exactly does it hang again? === [-I8U-]away is now known as meshug_pas_la_ca [04:10] awesome [04:10] Rounin: cant see any settings for it :a [04:10] so that's how i install stuff === meshug_pas_la_ca is now known as pas_la_calice [04:10] bah i still cant get xorg to run at 1680x1050. [04:10] cchaos: Haha, how odd... But thanks for checking it out, anyway [04:10] i don't quite get how that works yet, but cool [04:10] <_Brun0__> sveakex, back [04:10] h8red: Yup. The power user way... :)... And to remove stuff, sudo aptitude purge [04:11] Rounin: go to about: what version are you using? [04:11] sudo aptitude purge vlc [04:11] 2.24.1 it says [04:11] hi, I'm trying to copy my OS to a new hard drive. I've cp -ax / to a new hard drive, anything else I should do ? [04:11] well ill try to remove that from that package manager thing [04:11] it seems there are probably other files associated w/ vlc [04:11] The Ubuntu version is... The ... the one from six months ago [04:12] h8red: If you remove vlc, all its dependencies would automatically be removed (it will inform you of those packages) [04:12] h8red, keep vlc player [04:12] h8red: you can also use apt-get install -y to eliminate the Do you want to continue question [04:12] The [04:12] Rounin: same as mine then [04:12] why keep it? i have mplayer [04:12] that should be, apt-get install -y [04:12] i dont need 24 different media players [04:12] Ah well, perhaps my .deb repository is run by a Jehovah's Witness [04:12] It's a mystery [04:13] h8red: That is fine. It is your choice. Generally, linux programs are cheap in terms of their diskspace [04:13] h8red, it can play some stuff that mplayer can;t [04:13] oh? [04:13] matrixblue_: Really? I have yet to come across such an event [04:13] h8red, I'd remove everything except mplayer and VLC [04:13] i figured that would be more about the codecs than player [04:13] Rounin: that I dont know [04:13] WebcamWonder, FLV are one example [04:14] flv good call! [04:14] matrixblue_: trying again to make sure [04:14] does mplayer or vln do well with mp3 [04:14] or should i get a mp3 specific player [04:14] h8red: Both do well [04:14] vlc does [04:14] h8red, for mp3 go with Banshee [04:14] where can I find networking help? I want to get my printer set up to share on my LAN with some other windows machines.. [04:14] h8red: But as far as library management goes, I don't think you can consider them as library managers [04:14] and alsaplayer does too [04:15] bonez46: ##networking [04:15] i always used windows explorer as a library manager [04:15] WebcamWonder: thanks [04:15] h8red: Then you should be good with both of them :) [04:15] bonez46: Np [04:15] rockkkk [04:15] h8res: here you can use nautilus or thunar [04:16] bonez46: or samba / cups tutorials (can't link atm, but you'll find some) [04:16] h8red, they'll be good unless you want playlists, shuffle, iPod sync, etc [04:16] matrixblue_: starting ubiquity... [04:16] Radtoo: thanks.. [04:16] like you'd use windows explorer [04:16] the computer i'm sitting at now has a funky wireless card, always a pain to get the drivers installed in windows [04:16] shippo, awesome!!!! [04:16] when i installed unbutu it was no problem whatsoever [04:17] h8red: Well, that is a first :D [04:17] come a long way, last time i tried to install linux years ago, i was stopped b/c of a lack of drivers [04:17] which is why i dumped windows for this [04:17] failed again [04:17] WebcamWonder, people always talk about wireless card issues but I've yet to come across one [04:17] matrixblue_: [04:18] i dumped windows last night when both my desktop and laptop cratered and i got enraged because i just formatted them both a few weeks ago [04:18] something about the monitor... [04:18] and microsofts genuine advantage that say guilty till proven innocent on windows installs [04:18] shippo, what exact error message do you get? [04:18] so i googled best linux distro.....grabbed the unbuntu torrent [04:18] and here i am today [04:18] matrixblue_: Depends entirely on what card you have seriously. I also don't have any problems with the wireless, but I have only used broadcom [04:18] splash: setting mode 640x480 failed [04:18] screen init failed [04:18] i had wireless card issues on Breezy, went away on edgy [04:18] trust me, you'll fall in love with this beast [04:19] rock solid and just runs and runs [04:19] i have a considerable amount of windows open on both desktop screens here [04:19] matrixblue_: I am dumped again to ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ prompt [04:19] shippo, sounds like you have to use the alternate CD [04:19] I had issues with a belkin wireless network card. I ditched it for a edimax one, but currntly using ethernet LAN [04:19] wow [04:19] one of which is deluge downloading several gigs of torrent [04:19] with no slowdown at all [04:19] the only complaint i have is choppy flash video [04:19] shippo, it's a graphics issue === pas_la_calice is now known as meshuggah [04:20] h8red try installing flashplayer-nonfree; that should help [04:20] i did that actually [04:20] matrixblue_: not sure why that would be the issue, it has a appian graphics jeronimo pro card [04:21] DG19075: He has Flash 10 already... [04:21] ]in getting rid of the choppiness [04:21] its not so bad at 1152 [04:21] but any higher desktop rez and its unwatchable [04:21] hmmm [04:21] martixblue_: crud that is probably it, i thought the video card was a matrox card! [04:22] Whats the commend to edit xorg.conf? [04:22] i googled around a bit and that seems to come with the territory running linux [04:22] command^ [04:22] shippo, not sure either but the fact that you make it to the terminal ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ means that Xubuntu has loaded but the GUI is having an issue [04:22] cchaos: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf (IIRC) [04:23] WebcamWonder: ta [04:23] is there an appian graphics driver for ubuntu? [04:24] appian? [04:24] yep [04:24] * aprilhare has never heard of appian [04:24] aprilhare: they were a high end graphics card back in the late 90s [04:25] shippo: ic - they still produce stuff? [04:25] shippo, I'm sure that there are drivers [04:25] shippo: It uses S3 drivers [04:25] but this one is having issues initializing X [04:25] Don't think they are in business anymore [04:25] hmmm does evolution sync w/ blackberry desktop? [04:26] if such a beast exists for linux [04:26] is there a movie player that can let me book mark where i was in video files so i can resume watchin later? [04:26] shippo: My Appian Way Gemini does, anyhow [04:26] S3 drivers, good, is that part of the base install for xubuntu? [04:26] shippo, either use an older version of xubuntu (8.04) or use the text based installer [04:26] whats a crc error ---system halted [04:27] rpk2012: Fatal [04:27] Is there a way to disable ALSA only temporarily?

[04:27] h8red: actually, you were talking about learning how to use the terminal progs before, weren't you? [04:27] not me :) [04:27] okay guys that is me for the night, i appreciate all of your assistance matrixblue_ and genii [04:27] rpk2012, you need a new HD it seems [04:27] yeah [04:27] h9red: i found a really good site [04:27] just basic commands are what i need to learn now [04:27] h8red: softpanorama.org [04:27] i dont like having to essentially paste things from the web to install stuff when i dont know exactly what it means [04:27] homeskillet: You could just notedown the time, and resume from that time. But I don't know of any player that specifically has that feature [04:27] h8red: there are definitely some advanced topics on there, but there are also a lot of helpful hints [04:28] hrmm, well that sucks [04:28] thanks man really appreciate it! [04:28] what can cause this? [04:29] Are there any scripts (from logon) that select the resolution to be used, or is it all based on xorg.conf? [04:29] I'm at parents house and my brother who set it up is not in, I'm on the wifi on my laptop but need to get the password to connect the iphone too === meshuggah is now known as meshaway [04:29] cchaos: xorg.conf [04:29] dpes openvpn in ubuntu have a GUI?? [04:29] cchaos: You can use xrandr on runtime, but its not on logon. [04:30] rpk2012, things fail but before you rule it out boot from a live CD and run fsck [04:30] epaphus, gnome or kde? [04:30] yeah either [04:30] epaphus, GoVPM [04:31] * aprilhare wonders what can truly take advantage of the physx on his graphics card [04:31] cchaos: gnome can set the resolution for you via XRandR [04:31] anyway people...I have a site to finish. Later [04:31] epaphus, openvpm-gui [04:31] thanks [04:31] epaphus, http://openvpn.fuchs.cc/ [04:31] WebcamWonder: thought so. So why would "root" login in with a 1280x1024 screen (from xorg.conf) but "normal" run with a 1024x768 screen res? (this is fixed now: Im just wondering what the problem would be) [04:31] Are there broadcom cards that CANNOT be setup at all? [04:32] Ketrel: What do you mean by that? [04:32] cchaos: That is weird. The resolution would have been setup before the login screen [04:32] PeskyJ: phone your brother and ask him for the pw to the router . in the config there u find the key for the wifi.. [04:32] cchaos: because the user has changed their preferred resolution, and it was written to ~/.config/monitors.xml [04:32] frybye: it's 04:00 here [04:32] and gnome-settings-daemon reads that file to set the resolution at login [04:32] um 04:30 [04:33] coz_, is that not included in the repository? i cant do apt-get install right? [04:33] then forget it.. [04:33] crdlb: so edit that file, and should be sorted? [04:33] frybye: they're not stored somewhere? [04:33] WebcamWonder: I'm trying to get a Broadcom card setup with no luck so I'm asking if there are any that simply will not work [04:33] epaphus, hold on let me look [04:34] Ketrel: Depends on your card. One of the models work fine for me [04:34] bbl [04:34] !broadcom | Ketrel [04:34] Ketrel: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [04:34] what is the best way to copy over 50 gig of data and keep permissions and owner/group info the same? [04:34] use a device that has already been setup.. and the i-phone next time.. [04:34] WebcamWonder: you're misunderstanding [04:34] epaphus, I dont see it in the repisitory [04:34] I've done ALL OF THAT with no luck, so I'm asking if there are any cards that WILL NOT work at all [04:35] frybye: my ubuntu laptop doesn't have the app-store on it [04:35] Ketrel: Don't know of any cards that would refuse to work. What card do you have [04:35] coz_, anything similar which is included? [04:35] epaphus, mm let me check [04:35] Hmmm cant see aa .config folder in home [04:35] how does it connect without knowing the password? it must be somewhere [04:35] WebcamWonder: remind me how to check again? [04:35] (I started this last night) [04:36] Ketrel: lspci | grep Broadcom [04:36] hey guys is there a thunderbird equivalent on the console ? [04:36] WebcamWonder: BCM4309 [04:36] epaphus, there is kvpm for kde but if you are not running KDE I wouldnt install that because you are going to pull in the kde libs and bunch of stuff you dont need for that one app [04:36] Is there an easy way to check how much RAM my computer has in ubuntu? [04:36] Ketrel: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [04:37] Mike_lifeguard: free [04:37] coz_, okey [04:37] PeskyJ: sure it is stored - and iirrightly - strongly encrypted...or? [04:37] i run gnome [04:37] Mike_lifeguard: or top, or htop [04:37] epaphus, the openvpm-gui should be too difficutl to install let me check [04:37] WebcamWonder: Intrepid Ibex [04:37] monitors.xml: not found uunder search in file system [04:37] coz_, but i see in the networking icon.. that there is a part that says "connect to a vpn" have you seen it ? default install [04:37] frybye: is it in the keychain? [04:38] Ketrel: And have you tried enabling the drivers from System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers? [04:38] hang on i was wrong... [04:38] hola === pubuntu is now known as DJvRadio [04:38] WebcamWonder: it found nothing [04:39] when I did that [04:39] who was wrong?? [04:39] double click on the wlan sig strength icon.. [04:39] WebcamWonder: it just is blank [04:39] oh === gaintsura_ is now known as gaintsura [04:39] selectthe name of the wlan there.. and EDIT then click on the box to show key.. [04:40] cchaos: I thought you said it was already fixed? [04:40] PeskyJ: got it?? [04:40] frybye: I did that but it's a big old string of hex or something, that's not the password I used... I actually know mostly what the password is, but it has some numbers in that I'm not sure of [04:40] cchaos: it may be ~/.gnome2/monitors.xml on older versions of ubuntu [04:41] crdlb: yeah, but with a high refresh rate [04:41] crdlb: Im using 8.10 [04:42] hi guys [04:42] Ketrel: A quick google search suggests that people got that card working by ndiswrapper only [04:42] hmm.. i had that after mooving to jaunty too.. try copying the hex and entering that... [04:42] WebcamWonder: I AM using ndiswrapper [04:42] chown -R is to own folder plus subdirectories right? [04:43] who can help me that i can't shut down my laptop's bluetooth. [04:43] XiaolinDraconis: yes [04:43] ty [04:44] PeskyJ: i have to go for a bit now.. wish u luck.. [04:44] who knows how to shut down the bluetooth in ubuntu? [04:44] yinlong, you should be able to stop the bluetooth service at booth by checking /etc/rc5.d/ for the offending process [04:44] frybye: I think that's the password used generated from the passkey, and if I type that into the iphone, it will hash it or whatever as if it was a passkey itself, rather than the hash of it. [04:44] oh, heh [04:45] ice-nine,tell me how to do clearly please [04:45] hi.... my CD rom won't eject a CD..... i need some help... how can i do this from the command line [04:45] chown -R doesnt work on /media ? === meshaway is now known as meshuggah [04:45] yinlong, it's listed in my install as S25bluetooth.

But if I were to suggest, try opening synaptic, and entering kdebluetooth4 in the search, and deselecting the package to try and remove it. After that, a reboot may be remove it for good. [04:52] but it doesn't actually MOVE the files into my library [04:52] salvadorfl: then make sure he's install openssh-server [04:52] and organise them [04:52] according to tag [04:52] how do I make a folder hidden (NOT USING A .

[04:56] frybye: so typing it into another device it does a hash of the hash (as if it were the passkey) [04:56] ActionParsnip, 0|< t|-|3|\| [04:56] XiaolinDraconis: chown -R user:admin /media/ would give the admin group access. chmod may be necessary.

[05:22] lol [05:23] hey all just a general question [05:23] a noob question; i'm having a hard time with eclipse [05:23] used that script sometime to rotate grub splashes [05:23] my ping avg is showing about 14 seconds. obviously my first question is, wtf? [05:24] the weather function in Ubuntu. how to i get it to display my area (being Ballarat and not Melbourne) do i have to edit something somewhere [05:24] does anyone have a good tip or two for diagnosing this? [05:24] (wlan on a new machine) [05:24] #ubuntu-es [05:27] Hello guys I got everything working great on my new PC today, but Im wondering are there any pros or cons of running Ubuntu 64bit edition over 32bit edition? Im running a 2.2Ghz Quad Core 64bit Phenom system.Any opinions? [05:27] Mark_Jones, there are a lot of both [05:27] hmm [05:28] 64 bit will take advantage of the hardware.. [05:28] Mark_Jones, the first is some things are a bit more work to setup under x64, flash etc [05:28] better [05:28] Mark_Jones: if using > 4GB RAM, 64-bit is necessary. otherwise, it's really up to you. Web browser Java has some issues with 64-bit mode. That's the only issue that would hold me back from 64-bit mode, although honestly I do use it on my Athlon 64 notebook. [05:28] Mark_Jones, the second is some applications that are optimized will be faster with x64 where applicable [05:28] does any one know how to add Ballarat to the weather function in Ubuntu [05:28] Mark_Jones, I used to run into problems with apps that work with 32 bit end up not working with 64 bit... [05:28] Mark_Jones: Most notably, 64bit is using more registers and supports direct addressing of more than 4GB ram [05:29] tt5786 right click on icon select preferences> location [05:29] Right Im gonna kill my monitor :P [05:29] i have done that and the only Victorian places are Melbourne and Richmond [05:29] you can solve most issues by using the 32b apps as long as you have the 32libraries it needs [05:29] ok as far as RAM goes Ubuntu is very lean on that so I only bought a matched pair of 1GB sticks for dual channel use. [05:30] Mark_Jones: Do you do any video encoding, 3d rendering, ...? (I'd guess not but who knows) [05:30] what is dual channel use? [05:30] tt5786: you'll have to select the closest one of those two to your location. not all locations are included, unfortunately. the larger, the more likely to be included. [05:30] So looks like package installation/availablility is the biggest issues as for as probs go. [05:30] Mark_Jones: Or mathematical analysis [05:30] Mark_Jones, then if your not doing anything terribly usefull with 64b applications, 32b runs just as well and a bit easier in some cases [05:30] I do use Handbrake GUI to convert DVD to my iPod video. [05:30] when a wireless cards "works" but constantly has 1-60 second ping times, where can one possibly look for a cause? [05:30] ballarat is larger then richmond [05:30] Very fast on quad core. 8min from dvd to ipod. [05:30] Is anyone here thinking of using BackTrack 4.0? It is now Debian-based, so should be a shorter learning curve. [05:30] Hello I got the separate X screen running but how do i get to it? Like mouse over to it? [05:31] I dont know what backend Handbrake GUI uses, but it could be a bit faster on x64 [05:31] tt5786 did youtype in your location [05:31] is there a way to get it included [05:31] but if its already real quick [05:31] yes i did [05:31] tt5786: is ballarat a suburb of Melbourne, say? I don't know Victoria geography that well. [05:31] and it came up with nothing [05:31] Mark_Jones: Hmm... I don't know what that uses in the bakcend but most encoders ARE actually significantly faster in 64 bit mode [05:31] realy? oooh man I wanna try it. [05:31] no it is Victoria's 3 largest city Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo etc [05:31] Mark_Jones: For most other applications, a human can't actually notice the difference...

[05:33] tt5786: not sure why they included Richmond and not Ballarat. [05:33] The one thing that was stopping me from making it my primary distro was that it was slackware based. [05:33] nither i was hoping i could go around and fix it for the stat of Victoria [05:33] But now that BT4 is debian, it is a bit easier for an Ubuntu user to add the apps we need. [05:33] Guest69282 is good news indeed the've debianized [05:34] Of course, then the quesiton is: should we just use Ubuntu and apt-get the security apps, or the other way around.... [05:34] I love the ubuntu and === TrueYomic is now known as Yomic [05:35] or is there some one i could email and let know [05:35] i think it shouldn't be major diffs between either [05:35] Hello I got the separate X screen running but how do i get to it?

[06:48] sorry, I meant tritium thank you [06:49] something like sudo shutdown?

[06:51] hi, i'm trying to install Ubuntu to my hard disk, but the partitioner only shows one disk, and I want to install it to another disk [06:51] has anyone gotten compiz to work properly with an Ati card? [06:51] I have on my desktop [06:51] Ketrel-> broadcom 43xx is infamous [06:51] I think... [06:51] Anyone remember what was the setting in Compiz-Fusion that brings back the "top bar" of the KDE applications in Gnome (I'm using Ubuntu 8.10)??? [06:51] Ultra: I don't think you're going to, nor do you really want to, fire something like that from userspace without sudo. You could, of course, edit your sudoers to basically unprotect your system. [06:51] i sorta had it working, i didnt get the 3d mode to work though [06:52] my compiz is working on my ati mobile radeon out of the box [06:52] AK_DAVE: it's an amd processor though.. === KDE4000_ is now known as KDE4000 [06:52] sh1-> are you on a livecd? [06:52] also, compiz real [06:52] someone please help me with audio after resume?? [06:52] n8tuser: yes [06:52] drmrhorse: mind if i take a look at your configs? [06:52] AK_Dave, so there's no way to bring up the usual shutdown / restart / logout dialog from commandline or via a message on dbus or something? [06:52] n8tuser: is there anything that can be done? [06:52] xorg? [06:52] sh1 what does sudo fdisk -l shows? [06:52] maybe i did something cheesy, havent noticed it yet [06:52] vintty: lspci -vnn should tell you want you want about your video hardware. lsmod should tell you what kernel modules are loaded. [06:52] like completely out of the ordinary [06:52] i dont think the xorg is the problem [06:52] I'll check [06:52] wait [06:52] i compared with a few others... last week [06:52] damn, that's not me :'( [06:53] Ketrel-> umm last resort is ndiswrapper [06:53] Ultra: I won't say it can't be done, but it really ought not be done without root privs. [06:53] AK_Dave: cheers mate, i won't be a sec. [06:53] n8tuser: when i load the partitioner by itself, it shows both HDs. but ubiquity only gives me the choice of one HD [06:53] looked fine, fglrx driver [06:53] AK_Dave, so, what calls it up, assuming i launched it from a setuid root script? [06:53] sh1 you are doing something tricky here and you are not telling us the whole story.. [06:53] glx as well mod loded [06:54] i know that they changed the driver with jaunty for me [06:54] daurn: if you're like me, your audio after resume is borked IF you had the temerity to leave Banshee or Rhythmbox open when you suspended. [06:54] im running hardy [06:54] hello [06:54] oops, i thought i was in +1, its late for me [06:54] sh1: is that other disk ntfs parition? [06:54] AK_Dave: I got a lot of info pop up. Would you like me to PM you? Or is there a specific line I should look for? [06:54] Ultra: type please 'man reboot'. The command you want is reboot, but you probably want to specify some settings on it. [06:54] jdwarta: did reid__ come back and answer your issue? [06:55] n8tuser: when I said I tried everything, that included ndiswrapper, and no luck >.< [06:55] So when I try to install 8.10 or run it live I can't get a graphical desktop === suyog is now known as magician157 [06:55] AK - sure, i meant, what brings up the graphical requester? [06:55] vintty: No need. Just scroll through and find what is relevant. [06:55] wv56xC5YS: errors? [06:55] n8tuser: sorry, xchat crashed :( [06:55] hello [06:55] I just get a black screen [06:55] could anyone please help me with port forwarding? [06:55] i can't seem to get java working on my firefox [06:55] Ketrel -> dont know then, other than getting a different kind of card and driver [06:55] then I do alt+f1 to get to a shell [06:55] uhh [06:55] if I try startx [06:55] sh1 you are doing something tricky here and you are not telling us the whole story.. [06:55] Ultra: I don't know what brings up the graphical requestor. I thought you just wanted a shutdown from the command line. [06:56] is there anyway to find out if I have it or not? [06:56] AK - i was hoping there was a rootless way to bring up that requester in userspace [06:56] if I try startx I get "Saw signal 11. Server aborting." [06:56] n8tuser: yeah, that's not an option :( only thing left on my list is Windows. [06:56] since the user is never required to enter an administrative password to shutdown from the menu [06:56] magician157, http://portforward.com/ ?? [06:56] wv56xC5YS: please keep your responses on one line and address. Can you do sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop and then sudo /etc/init.d/?dm start please [06:56] Ketrel -> ubuntu version? [06:56] n8tuser: Ibex [06:57] I'm using one of those internal made external hdd's via eSATA port and for some reason it keeps closing out the videos i play from there [06:57] ravennium, i do not use any router. i connect to the university network with a LAN wire and dot1x authentication [06:57] xi_: errors? [06:57] it display no errors [06:57] it just closes the video out in mplayer [06:58] xi_: can you run totem from the command line, and try to play the video [06:58] it was working fine untill i downloaded some packages [06:58] Ketrel -> there were some howto or troubleshooting posting re broadcom newer cards, try to see if you can google for it [06:58] i can't seem to get java working on my firefox...is there anyway to find out if I have it or not? [06:58] i downloaded, kubuntu-dekstop and Xubuntu-desktop [06:58] sana: www.java.com === paul__ is now known as MrObvious [06:58] i have disabled the firewall on my computer using firestarter, but the problem still persists. cant seed on bittorrent clients, even though downloading is fine [06:58] xi_: okay, I need that error. Please do as I have asked [06:58] magician157, I really don't see how you could control the ports then. Isn't that what the university does? [06:59] sana http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml [06:59] ziroday It goes to a black screen then back to the shell 4 times [06:59] ugh, how do I pm somebody? [06:59] magician: I think your university IT guys have charge of this. [06:59] n8tuser: This is not a new card, it's an old one, and I've tried everything google turned up [06:59] ravennium: since its on their network, they might have throttled torrent traffic [06:59] nvm, got it [06:59] /msg username message [06:59] Ketrel -> then none more i can point you to, sorry [06:59] wv56xC5YS: click their name. alternately, right click and open query [07:00] ziroday: could not read from resource [07:00] JoshuaRL, of course they have, but that's exactly what I meant... now magician157 can't do nothing about it, I suppose. [07:00] i know, i was hoping there might be some way to bypass the firewall. anyways, i am in china and the it guys speak only chinese, and i dont :( [07:00] magician157: not while being white hat. [07:01] You're in China? Good luck with that port fowarding problem. [07:01] hi! I've low volume issue. here's my hardware details: http://paste.ubuntu.com/148750/ . Can anyone help me please?

[07:01] i do have java....but I don't see an option on firefox to enable java or a plugin [07:01] pop up window said could not read from resources [07:02] aha! [07:02] gnome-session-save --shutdown-dialog [07:02] magician: Okay, you COULD bypass it. In theory. Depending on what they've done to block this. But in theory you could ssh tunnel around it. [07:02] this brings up the shutdown/reboot/logout etc dialog [07:02] sana: have you restarted firefox? [07:02] :-) nevermind, just two more months in china, so guess i'll have to live with it. btw, which is a better bt client for linux? deluge or vuze? [07:03] magician157: but you'll need an ssh or vpn server outside their network to make that work [07:03] magician: What you need to do is to setup a server outside of the firewall, say a cloud server with amazon, [07:03] magician157: i prefer ktorrent for gui, and rtorrent for cli. rtorrent is FAST. [07:03] MQDuck: no, you can upgrade to 9.04 from 8.10 [07:03] here is a question since i have both Ubuntu and Kubuntu on this computer, can i keep the setup to Ubuntu (so i see the ubuntu logo) rather then the kubuntu logo when turning the computer on and off [07:03] i started out using ubuntu and didn't get the kubuntu logo untill i downloaded kubuntu-dekstop [07:04] magician: amazon's server rates are $0.10/hr, and they get cheaper than that if you prepay a block. $0.03/hr is cheap. [07:04] AK_Dave, how do i setup a cloud server with amazon? [07:04] ziroday: im not upgrading. im doing a fresh install [07:04] AK_Dave, thank you, i will look into it. [07:04] MQDuck: right, but in 9 days when jaunty is released you can always upgrade to it [07:04] thank you all, wish you a pleasant day. [07:05] magician: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EC2StartersGuide [07:05] ziroday: but is there any good reason to wait?

[07:06] thanks ziroday (will that also give me the gnome login page rather then the kde login page?) [07:06] xi_: no it will just change usplash [07:06] ziroday: im just thinking that i might be simpler to install the new version right away [07:07] MQDuck: well its your choice, but intrepid runs just fine the way it is [07:07] Hi my pc doesn't boot ever since 2.6.27* came out [07:07] cyptrix: errors?

It just went to a black screen then back to the shell 4 times. No printed errors either [07:08] Sword^Fish: Tried switching your output jack to a different output from the card? [07:08] wv56xC5YS: okay, does restarting start X? [07:08] no idea how to troubleshoot it, the console output scrolls too fast and freezes [07:08] AK_Dave: lspci -vnn "VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x], Kernel driver in use: nvidia Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nvidia" as far as kernal modules go when i use 'lsmod' i get about a hundred lines and nothing looks relevant. what should I be looking for?

'sudo apt-get install envy' [07:09] why not, when forums havent helped in months [07:10] cyptrix: okay, that looks like a severe crash. Does a livecd work?

[07:10] cyptrix: what about a jaunty cd? [07:11] ziroday: it gave me that error when I issued the command to kill the process, and the same error when I tried to start it [07:11] vintty: You shoulda asked for help on the #linuxmint channel on spotchat.org [07:11] havent tried that [07:11] is there a way i can scroll up and check what the messages were [07:11] cyptrix: just trying to understand if this is a kernel regression or not :). Could you please test with a jaunty daily livecd. [07:11] cyptrix: ctrl+shift+pgup or one of those [07:11] AK_Dave: Sorry ... I tried the forums in mint but they didn't prove useful.

I did a filter seach and I can't find it. Is it an application? [07:14] JoshuaRL: no, he hasn't come back [07:14] vintty: Its an application pre-installed with Mint, you'll find it in MintMenu. Click Felicia, and just click All. Scroll to Envy. Click.

[08:31] Sword: turn the volume up in the ALSA mixer [08:31] Sword^Fish, did you try alsamixer [08:31] * AK_Dave FTW! [08:31] alright, just trying to make some friends [08:31] so i have people to ask [08:32] rww: yeah. u right. sorry. [08:32] AK_Dave, marcel yep.. i tried alsamixer. all are tuned to max.. still low [08:32] to work for you :) [08:33] Sword^Fish, did you try also setting all mixer to high? [08:33] Sword: Some specific audio hardware, esp laptops, need little tweak lines added to alsa's config file in order to work right. If thats you, I don't know. Do 'lspci' to find your hardware, and then let google be your friend. [08:34] marcel, yes... the sound is higher now.. but still not enough :( === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [08:34] AK_Dave, okay.. [08:35] Sword^Fish, dont you have a speakerset with volume? [08:35] Sword: You have 3 mixers to play with: ALSA, OSS, and Pulseaudio. [08:35] 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) <-- lspci [08:36] marcel, speakerset gives much boost ; but laptop speakers don't [08:36] Sword: That should be using snd-hda-intel if I'm not mistaken [08:36] did anyone upgrade nagios 3.0.2 to 3.1 on ubuntu? [08:37] Sword^Fish, go to the alsa project website and mail something on the mailinglist, it think they can help you better [08:37] sword: have you tried different outputs in edit>preferences of volume control [08:37] AK_Dave, most likely. here's an article I found http://www.datanorth.net/~cuervo/blog/linux-on-the-satellite-a215-s7407/ which tells to add a line in /etc/modprobe.d/sound but I don't see any sound file in /etc/modprobe.d/ dir [08:37] marcel, okay.. that's last option :( [08:37] Sword: ChaCHING! Create the file yourself. Seriously. [08:38] Sword^Fish, why the last? you hate mailinglists? [08:38] Robert_1, yeah.. [08:38] AK_Dave, ok.. let's see [08:39] marcel, lol.. nope.. I love #ubuntu, it's faster than mailing list [08:40] Sword: faster answer, yes. The right answer? not always. Sometimes better to just drop a question to a mailing list and get the right answer, even if you have to wait. In this case, the answer was "just google it" and you came through on your own. [08:40] AK_Dave, options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba <- I'm using AsusX51R, what should be my line? === Rohit_kgec is now known as rohit_kgec [08:40] Sword: Beats me. You found the article. What does it say? [08:41] Sword: according to the article you create the file an the one and only line that goes into it is: [08:41] options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba [08:42] AK_Dave, it tells to download a driver from realtek website and add a line in /etc/modprobe.d/sound . but which driver is it? [08:42] but i don't use toshiba. it's Asus X51R. what should I write then? [08:42] I think you should already have snd-hda-intel installed and probably loaded [08:43] do 'lsmod' and you'll see [08:44] found -> snd_page_alloc 16136 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm [08:44] yeah, you're good. If you didn't have that module you'd have zero sound. [08:45] okay.. so I don't need to create that file then? [08:46] I suspect you do need to create the file, but you don't need to download the driver because it is already installed. [08:46] okay.. then I think that's max output I would be getting while I'm on ubuntu. [08:47] perhaps you are correct [08:47] Is there a way to make the bottom bar (taskbar) two rows, so they don't compress the names so quickly? [08:47] hello [08:47] thanks AK_Dave , marcel :) [08:48] This is just a question out of curiosity: Do all kernel modules have to be rebuilt for every new kernel version? I noticed how nvidia drivers require specific kernel headers [08:48] hi [08:48] i have problem with flash in firefox [08:48] only in firefox [08:48] how can i use the ubuntu as a web server? [08:49] clearscreen, yes. dkms is a service that handles this automatically for some modules like virtualbox and nvidia [08:50] xtknight: aha, alright [08:50] drivers have to be linked against the current running kernel sources, otherwise when you load them the "version magic" will be wrong. [08:50] klubinski, dedicated server? [08:51] klubinski, check out ubuntu server edition.. either use it or install the package list it shows. [08:51] Hey Hey everyone.

[09:01] knoxville, in a linux website.. its told that "rm -rf /" is dangerous [09:01] that's 01:00 yes ? [09:01] krishna, well it will delete everything without asking you twice [09:01] SqueakyNeb, nope its binary incompatible [09:02] knoxville, what do you mean by "Everything" ? [09:02] ANyone use Sonata (frontend to MPD) ? It does not seem to save selections to playlists, simply doesn't work.. (version 1.4.2), any ideas? [09:02] SqueakyNeb: Mac is based on a BSD kernel which is indeed based off of unix, but as usser has stated, binaries are indeed incompatible unfortunately [09:02] Ignoramus11, unless you have an amd64 jsut get the 32 bit [09:02] krishna well / refers to the root directory which means it would delte everything inside the root directory that you have permission to delete [09:02] flash don't work in firefox [09:02] what if i have 12 gigs of ram >.< [09:02] krishna: rm is the remove/delete command ;) / is the root directory.. have fun deleting all your files [09:03] SqueakyNeb, is there any gui for youtube-dl [09:03] Ignoramus11, irrelevent [09:03] Ignoramus11: amd64 is the same thing as x86_64. If you're using a recent Intel chip, it's compatible. [09:03] clearscreen, knoxville , thanks.. now clearly understood [09:03] Ignoramus11, its the processor we're talking about [09:03] Ignoramus11: i.e. Core2 or i7. [09:03] thanks rww [09:03] clearscreen, usser, :( disapointment. If there was a program like wine for Mac binaries in Linux, would it work better than wine? [09:03] knoxville, then will it delete the system files too ??? [09:03] core 2 [09:03] krishna if you own the webserver and have sudo permissions, yes! [09:03] Ignoramus11, ok then you're good.. [09:03] krishna, Yes, i used to have 2-4 of them, but i got rid of them when i realised the pointlessness [09:03] Ignoramus11: I'm running a Core 2 Quad with amd64 Ubuntu right now. You're fine :). [09:04] cool man thanks for responce [09:04] why isn't ghostview on the repositories? I think it was a while back... [09:04] hello [09:04] knoxville, you mean , it wil delet the contents of home folder too ;-P [09:04] SqueakyNeb: Not really, the problem is that blizzard was too lazy to add hardware acceleration for cursors in openGL mode in their windows binaries [09:04] i want get apt [09:04] tsLight: is package "gv" what you're looking for? [09:04] gtk [09:04] SqueakyNeb, plz suggest me something :-| [09:04] clearscreen, K, thanks [09:04] i need install GTK [09:05] rww, oh, that seems to be it :P, thanks! [09:05] krishna, Are you using synaptic package manager?? [09:05] my machine clear GTK [09:05] SqueakyNeb, YES ! i use it [09:05] SqueakyNeb, i want a GUI for youtube-dl [09:05] krishna, yes! what are you trying to do? [09:06] use clive [09:06] SqueakyNeb: that would seem logical for their development point of view (windows users should generally be using direct3d), but wine uses an opengl wrapper to handle direct3d code [09:06] i think is what i used [09:06] knoxville, i want to know what all it will delete ..... it will also empty the windows drives of C D E F too ? :-O :O [09:06] knoxville, if yes, then this command wil be dangerous ,. wont it ? :O [09:07] It will delete anything that is mounted to the / aka root directory krishna [09:07] when I type asoundconf-gtk it responds "You need to make sure asoundconf is active! By default, asoundconf's configuration file is ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf and must be included in ~/.asoundrc. Open this file to make sure it is!" I don't understand what it wants me to do? [09:07] krishna if you type mount you can view if other filesystems are mounted to / and yet it would delete them also [09:07] knoxville, what is he talking about? [09:07] please help me [09:08] SqueakyNeb, he wants to know if it will delete his windows fs also [09:08] knoxville, what will do that??? [09:08] you dont even want to execute that command, period :P [09:08] i have another question in regards to gui . which is more stable with current release? gnome or kde [09:08] WHAT COMMAND???? [09:08] rm -rf / [09:08] SqueakyNeb: rm -f / [09:08] o that [09:08] flash worked like a film in firefox [09:08] %) [09:09] Ignoramus11: define 'current release' [09:09] knoxville, then why ubuntu allows this dangerous command ? :( [09:09] kde 4.2 , gnome 2. what ever it is [09:09] BlackDalek, open ~/.asoundrc in a text editor and see if there's a line in it pointing to the .asoundrc.asound.conf file... that's what it's tellign you to do [09:09] Ignoramus11, I would say gnome because it is the standard gui, but i beleive you can get kubuntu and xubuntu if you want support with ubuntu+KDE/XWindow [09:09] help [09:10] krishna, windows allows it also, "format c: /q /u [09:10] thanks [09:10] krishna: why does life allow you to jump off a bridge.. why does windows allow you to format C: [09:10] clearscreen...LMFAO!!!! [09:10] clearscreen, To fix problems [09:10] HamidReza, sorry but we need more info..... [09:10] bluejeans, I looked at that file and .asoundrc.asoundconf is not mentioned anywhere. I don't know what it wants me to type into the file. [09:10] knoxville, clearscreen, now i understand 100% [09:10] HamidReza, have you tried reinstalling flash? [09:11] I need an extremely lightweight browser, but one that can use Firefox add-ons. Any ideas? [09:11] swoody: you are out of luck [09:11] BlackDalek, sorry but i'm not running ubuntu so i can't tell you what its suppose dot look like.. maybe somebody else here can take a look for oyu [09:12] swoody: I believe k-meleon could do that, although I could be very wrong too [09:12] if a program locks, is there a key combination to get access to a command line to run xkill, in gnome [09:12] yes [09:12] clearscreen, thx, I'll check it out :) === kb is now known as Guest5473 [09:12] swoody: nevermind, it doesnt even run on linux [09:12] whats the key command hamidreza ?

[09:12] krishna: install gparted [09:13] who'd have thought getting external USB sound cards configured would be so difficult... seems like it is just one problem needs to be solved after another, and never getting any closer to the original problem....

Please consider disabling your !give script.

[09:23] tt5786: restore? [09:23] gartral: what on earth are you talking about? [09:23] yea to last good configration [09:23] my CDROM [09:23] as there is an error [09:23] gartral: what do you want to do with it? [09:23] i need to eject it, it isnt rreading the cd i put in it [09:23] tt5786: whats the error? [09:23] it wont boot [09:23] gartral: then press the eject key... [09:23] and its ignoring the button [09:24] it take me to something called intrefs [09:24] gartral: then unmount it first [09:24] it ignored sudo eject cdrom [09:24] tt5786: okay, try an older kernel [09:24] gartral: unmount it first [09:24] it isnt mounting its stuck [09:24] its not mounted [09:24] i did that and it did not see my Keyboard and Mouse [09:24] gartral: then you have to eject it [09:24] its spining at rediculus speeds, and i need to force eject it [09:25] i know that, HOW [09:25] gartral: there is no force eject. Pressing the eject button or doing sudo eject is all there is. If its serious reboot. [09:25] Gartral restart [09:25] how can I know for how long I have been conected to the internet (DSL)? [09:26] erm.. [09:26] i seriously hope theres a force eject in jaunty, i hate bringing down a server [09:26] gartral: there is no force eject in jauty either. [09:27] jaunty even. [09:27] there needs to be one somewhere [09:27] gartral: grab a paperclip, unbend it, shove it in the little hole on the front of the CD drive. [09:27] gartral: if your cdrom drive fails to eject upon pressing eject then its a hardware issue. The software can only do what the hardware allows. [09:28] rww: cant, theres no cog hole [09:28] gartral: AFAIK there is no force eject software anywhere. [09:28] it does help when i dont have k3b open doesnt it... lol [09:29] there is a complex way of ejecting FYI. [09:29] (without the use of "software") [09:29] eth01: how? [09:29] sorry im back [09:29] so was there any answer to my questions [09:29] gartral: i haven't even followed your problem. you'll have to explain from the start. [09:30] you know, if you pop the cover off, you can get to whatever cd is in there quite easily. it only requires the removal of ~8 screws and voiding up to 2 warranties. [09:31] eth01: i was freaking out cause my cdrom took more than 10 minutes to acknowledge a sudo eject and the cd hadnt even mounted yet... [09:31] tt5786: no one has addressed you since you left. [09:31] mmm problematic [09:31] gartral: sounds like a dodgey driver [09:33] Rabbitbunny: yes, except that would require 3 things, 1) take down my server.. bad 2) remove the server from the rack and remove its cover, which i would rather not do, 3) k3b had full controll of the bus, which i killed, and everything went back to normal [09:33] well, the third really isnt a requirment, it was the solution >.> [09:34] on my workstation, how do i make rythmbox NOT come up when i put a audio cd in?\ [09:34] guys [09:35] what is the best music player on ubuntu [09:35] gartral: Open file browser, Edit > Preferences > Media [09:35] I like ..

[10:21] adi1: There are many reasons why someone would not want a web-based mail. [10:21] please help me [10:21] i cant find one :) [10:22] anyone help me please? [10:22] Senbonzakura, Are you saying you can see a shared folder on XP from Ubuntu but accessing it stops the Internet connection ? [10:22] my keyboard light's don't turn on [10:23] adi1: 1) Poor internet connection. 2) Privacy. 3) Security. 4) Easier management of multiple accounts. 5) To annoy people like you. [10:23] poor internet connection,,, does not count [10:23] adi1: Not everyone uses Gmail. [10:23] ianh99 sort of [10:24] iv got XP and Ubuntu [10:24] privacy... with https nooooo [10:24] when i Share Xp's C drive i cant go to the internet on Ubuntu [10:24] Senbonzakura, ok [10:24] easier managment :):):)? than google himself [10:24] lol :> === mafsi is now known as mafsi`away [10:24] but if i dont share C drive on XP, i can go to the internet on Ubuntu [10:24] to annoy people like me...? this i can understand [10:25] i dont know whats going on :P [10:25] :):) [10:25] no worries...:) [10:25] adi1: HTTPS only protects one connection - between your computer and the Google server. The rest is unencrypted. And about multiple accounts - you _just_ asked how to manage two at the same time. [10:25] Yello.... ! :) [10:25] as long as we see things differently we are ok :) [10:26] yes cause im trying to use epiphany instead of ff [10:26] and in epi does not have a check gmail accounts [10:27] do you really think that google only provides the gmail service because they're so friendly? :s [10:27] so i was thinking of some app of those you install from add/remove or synaptic [10:27] #far [10:27] https is encrypting the connection between you and the server, but nobody knows what they do with the emails [10:28] adi1, veloc1ty: Also, I invite you to #ubuntu-offtopic . [10:28] (Before an op does it.) [10:28] i'll just shut it ;) [10:29] Good idea too. [10:29] me too [10:29] im going to to try al those gmail checker first :) [10:30] but it would be nice if someone help me install that gmail checker in epiphany [10:30] its all compile an stuff [10:30] ;) [10:31] What Are You Trying To Do? [10:31] jamileshaw | me? [10:31] adi1: Yes. [10:32] check my two gmail account from epiphany instead of firefox [10:32] Okay. [10:32] as long as in epi they dont have yet a gmail app [10:32] im trying to understand if any of those gmail checker is working ok [10:33] so i thought to ask in here :) [10:33] i have 2 problem with ubuntu [10:33] Have a look here my be helpful http://code.google.com/p/epiphany-gmail-notifier/ [10:33] ????

[10:35] help [10:35] help [10:35] please [10:35] HamidReza: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:36] !ask | HamidReza [10:36] HamidReza: 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. :-) [10:37] my keyboard light's don't turn on [10:37] After installing skype, webcam not working, any help [10:37] but worked [10:39] Hamidreza does your keyboard work except the lights === Squawk_ is now known as Squawk [10:40] hi every1 i was wondering if anyone can tell me how to run mono [10:40] Hi, I'm wondering, does anybody organize their Apache sites (/etc/apache/sites-available) in seperate files and directories? For example example.com/foo.example.com. If so, can you show me some examples (particular usage of NameVirtualHost)? [10:41] !mono | jony123: how do you mean run it? You juse do $ mono foo.exe [10:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about mono [10:41] i have a problem with my nvidia drivers that im hoping someone might be able to help me with. i have a setup with three monitors powered by two asus gf6200le pci-e x16 cards. when i start up my computer and the gdm login screen is displayed only two of the screens are activated (getting signals, displaying green leds). once i log in only those two screens are activated, still. If i log out of gnome and return to gdm login screen all thre [10:41] e screens are activated and from there on all three screens are working. does anyone know what might be causing this? [10:42] how do i write aplications for it [10:42] jony123: for what? [10:43] could anyone help me with my webcam. It has stopped working after installing skype [10:43] jelly12gen: http://mono-project.com/Introduction_to_developing_with_Mono [10:43] whats the package that enables autocomplete? its not workin in this UNR install [10:43] bah mono . that 's ugly [10:43] uhm sorry jelly12gen, I meant jony123 [10:43] for mono [10:43] Brucevdk: well still use a better prog. language like Haskell , C , java , python [10:44] much better integration etc. [10:44] Otieno: that's inpossible [10:44] jelly12gen, haskell? are you serious? does anyone actually use that for production? :) [10:44] Otieno: did you use your webcam with an other program first? [10:44] jelly12gen: I don't see how Java and Python are "better" than C# .NET [10:44] nasso: I think there's a Perl6 implementation in Haskell. [10:44] Yess nasso, I used it with cheese [10:45] grawity: because C# mono _. M$ isnt platform independent [10:45] but today I installed skype and when trying to open cheese, it says no camera [10:45] jelly12gen: Why? It's same as Java. [10:45] java is fully platform independent and python also [10:45] wow. i studied it in a course at university. its very good if you want to learn how to program but didnt think anyone actually used if except for education/research/math [10:46] nasso: haskell? [10:46] jelly12gen, yes [10:46] hello~ [10:46] grawity: I tend to agree with you, but it's not exactly the same. Sun Microsystems actually works on the open source Java (OpenJDK) itself, Mono is an effort by Novell (and not supported per se by Microsoft) [10:46] Otieno: so i worked for cheese but after installing skype i doesnt work anymore [10:46] Brucevdk: grawity and opensource is a big plus ! [10:46] Yes, jelly12gen [10:46] grawity: so politically it's a little different, technically it really doesn't matter. I think C#/Mono + GTK# is a descent platform for Linux development. [10:47] can anyone point to a big open source project that uses haskell? would love to look at some source [10:47] Otieno: ok , didnt install something else ? [10:47] not at all [10:47] Otieno: kernel upgrade ? [10:47] Brucevdk: So where's the "ugliness" of them? [10:47] Otieno: please check wich dependencies of skype [10:47] I have run an upgrade after that and still not helping [10:47] grawity: I'm just pointing out some facts, it wasn't me who said C# was ugly :-) [10:47] aha Otieno did you upgraded something [10:48] *i did say C# is ugly * [10:48] I just run apt-get update [10:48] no one knows of any project? [10:48] Otieno: well did it upgrade something [10:48] !dualboot [10:48] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [10:48] nasso: wich project? [10:48] Anyway, about the other meaning of "ugliness". I have tried to run KeePass on Mono, and it works fine, but looks like crap. Is there anything I can do? (Ubuntu 8.10, Gnome) [10:49] !wubi [10:49] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [10:49] jelly12gen: C# looks almost _exactly_ the same as Java. [10:49] jelly12gen, im looking for a big open source project based on haskell [10:49] nasso: xomad ! [10:49] I did that update when it failed to start and still no program detects it. i have tried to reinstall it in vein [10:49] nasso: Xmonad ! , [10:49] grawity: you know what, I could be doing other things, but I'm interested in this so let me download and run KeePass for a second [10:50] Otieno: and if you remove skype does it work in cheese? [10:50] Brucevdk: Ah, one more thing. It's KeePass v2. [10:50] (KeePass v1 is a native Win app.) [10:50] I haven't tried that. Let me try, jelly12gen [10:50] nasso: xmonad is the most cool window manager [10:50] grawity: also, have you tried Revelation? [10:51] Brucevdk: No, but it seems like a Linux-only app, and I'm mostly a Windows user. *googles* [10:52] grawity: windows user ?? :) [10:52] :O [10:52] jelly12gen: Yes, so? (If you're interested, it's Win XP Pro, runs just fine, no viruses yet, and so on.) [10:53] jelly12gen [10:53] it still doesn't pick [10:53] grawity: well i don't give a shit if you use windows, or mac , or hp-ux of *BSD , i just use linux because it let me work more efficient [10:54] grawity: ah yes, it does look ugly, I'm assuming it's using WindowsForms [10:54] Otieno: it still doesnt work? [10:54] yes [10:54] I mean it doesn't [10:54] Otieno: ok , i am clueless [10:54] jelly12gen, im not very experienced with haskell but its hard to imagine how you could create a window manager with it. when i used it it was all build on recursion. you called one function and it continued running until it was finished. hard to imagine how you could implement a windows manager like that :P [10:55] <{g}> Hey People! Whats a nice way to show the last lines of a gzipped file? [10:55] apparently its possible ;) [10:55] Brucevdk: I guess so. Is there a way to "fix" it? (Not really a problem, but I do prefer nice interfaces) [10:55] nasso: well they did , have you googled xmonad , you can even do I/O with it [10:55] anyone there with a clue on this issue? Compatibility of skype and webcam in intrepid [10:55] nasso: i am learning it atm btw fot my study and it's pretty awesome [10:55] grawity: well, no idea, I don't actually use any WinForm applications (just GTK#). Might be something interesting here: http://mono-project.com/WinForms [10:56] jelly12gen, yup. im looking into it now. aint i/o kind of a "hack" that isnt really function/recursion based? [10:56] nasso: i dont know yet :D [10:56] Brucevdk: Hmm, I'll take a look [10:56] nasso: but got to go [10:56] bye [10:56] how can haskell wait for input if its always running, its got to be multi-threaded? [10:56] nasso: wel it can [10:56] jelly12gen, sure. interesting things. [10:57] {g}: cat file|tail -? [10:57] jelly12gen, i did i midi sound composer that interpreted musical notes into files. written in haskell :) [10:57] nasso: http://learnyouahaskell.com/input-and-output [10:57] nasso : nice :) [10:57] i got ftp running but i only can go on it on LAN adrres 192.168.0.101 i can't do it with my waan ADRRES is this normal ???? [10:57] i use Gftp [10:58] <[u]Jinks> zilleplus, yes that's normal [10:58] and ubuntu server 8.10 [10:58] <{g}> topi: well, zcat then. [10:58] <[u]Jinks> zilleplus, you can edit your /etc/hosts file if you like [10:58] how do i got it on WAN address [10:58] The version of Twisted on the Hardy default repos is outdated by a long shot and I was wondering if there any newer repos that may have the newest version of Twisted on it i.e. instead of 2.5, 8.2, purely because I don't want to build from source,it's easier to keep up to date and I don't want to upgrade to Intrepid [10:58] <[u]Jinks> zilleplus, edit your /etc/hosts [10:58] {g}: oh, yes, ofc :) [10:58] jelly12gen, it was one of the exercises in the course. probably the hardest thing i have every written. you could sit for hours and work on one line. but when you are finished with a haskell program and it works, its friccin beautiful. [10:58] grawity: http://mono-project.com/Gui_Toolkits (WinForms: Looks alien on non-Windows platforms. ) [10:58] jelly12gen, wont keep you here. bye [10:59] The whole Look&Feel thing with GUI toolkits has always been a pain in the ass, best example I can think up would probably be Java which initially I think looked alien on all platforms :-) [10:59] <[u]Jinks> zilleplus, add a line like this 192.168.0.101 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (whatever your wan ip is) [11:00] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7b7aa57a [11:00] this is my /etc/host [11:07] #cuda [11:08] sorry [11:08] The twisted framework on the current Hardy repos seems to be outdated by a large margin, I was wondering if there were any newer repos I could add to the sources list in order to get a more updated twisted version? [11:09] is there a ubuntu version with lxde? [11:09] Skyrail, do you have backports enabled? [11:09] clancy: check wikipedia for other ubuntu variants as I dont think there is an officially supported one [11:10] balachmar: nope, I suppose that would be of help? [11:10] ok, lxde is just times faster then xfce or gnome but not as minimal as fluxbox [11:10] canonical should think about... [11:10] its to tacked together [11:11] Skyrail: It should those repos should backport newer versions of software to older releases. I don't know for sure if they have backported your package though. But worth a try. [11:11] anyway that would be offtopic clancy [11:11] clancy: http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Ubuntu [11:11] My laptop seems to be running quite hot - is there a way to adjust fan operation or something? [11:12] balachmar: doesn't look like it :/ the package search doesn't show any newer version, intrepid's repo's on the other hand has a much newer version (not quite 8.2, but 8.1 is much closer then 2.5...) [11:12] Mike_lifeguard: well you can use cpu frequency scaling to throttle your cpu [11:12] hai [11:12] Mike_lifeguard: fancontrol is a good choice [11:12] Skyrail, I assume you did update before you checked again right? [11:12] Mike_lifeguard: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-change-cpu-frequency-scaling-in-ubuntu.html [11:12] phee_girl: hai [11:12] Mike_lifeguard: what Paddy_EIRE said, I've also been able to control the fan speed on all my labtops so far [11:12] Yeh I updated/upgraded before changing, and did so after changing [11:12] thanks both [11:13] Skyrail, then you might consider upgrading to intrepid. It has been around for 6 months already :) [11:14] how to compile java in ubuntu? [11:14] balachmar: it's a server and Hardy is LTS until 2013, saves me from upgrading in the future (i.e. with Intrepid it's mid 2010 that support finishes) [11:14] I'll speak to the owner of the site and see if he's okay with the upgrade and then I'll go ahead with it [11:14] prabha: same way as you would on any other system, install the JDK (openjdk-6-jdk) and use javac (after switching using update-java-alternatives) [11:14] Skyrail: there is nothing wrong with sticking with LTS releases :) [11:15] Paddy_EIRE: a certain package that we need is vastly out dated :/ [11:15] I could build from source but it limits the ease of updating in the future [11:15] hmm.. Skyrail which package? [11:15] ah [11:15] Skyrail: there could be a ppa [11:15] The Twisted framework for Python, Hardy has version 2.5, Intrepid 8.1 [11:15] !ppa | Skyrail [11:15] Skyrail: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [11:16] Skyrail, and you could run into dependency problems... [11:16] how can i get wget to download this? http://services.netbeans.org/bouncer/index.php?product=netbeans-6.5.1-ml-java&os=linux [11:16] which one is equal to dot net in ubuntu? [11:17] Paddy_EIRE: oh, I'll have a look at that, thanks [11:17] balachmar: aye, that is another problem so it may just lead to an intrepid upgrade [11:17] RobotCow: what is the problem with that llink? does it rediect to something else? [11:17] Skyrail: do you know the name of the package of hand? [11:18] ninadsp, error 404, you try it and see [11:18] like "python-twisted" or something like that Skyrail [11:18] Yeh, that's it [11:18] Skyrail, why don't you use this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~fluidinfo/+archive/ppa [11:18] RobotCow: the actual download URL behind it for me is http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/software/netbeans/6.5.1/bundles/netbeans-6.5.1-ml-java-linux.sh [11:18] if I have a folder with a listing like this: drwxr-xr-x 3 root mnt_aux 4096 2009-04-11 20:11 share , shouldn't any user that belongs to the 'mnt_aux' group be able to write to the folder? [11:18] RobotCow: Error 404 is file not found... it means its a server side error [11:18] balachmar: nice one [11:19] Thank you balachmar :D [11:19] Paddy_EIRE: Thanks! [11:19] Bruce, how did you get that? [11:19] RobotCow: try the link given by Brucevdk [11:19] Skyrail, it came from the twisted website :P [11:19] balachmar: what about https://launchpad.net/~esteve/+ppa-packages [11:19] balachmar: ah [11:19] RobotCow: I started downloading it using Firefox and then cancelled it so I could grab the actual URL. But I guess I could have used Wireshark or even LiveHTTPHeaders :-) [11:19] Brucevdk:which one is equal to dotnet in ubuntu? [11:20] Paddy_EIRE: So I guess the one they link to is the most supported one. [11:20] balachmar: oh haha, well thank you, I should research more in the future, I just didn't know where to start as one of the developers sent me an 'urgent' email telling me about the outdated version of the package [11:20] oh wait, need to do a chmod don't I [11:20] prabha: I might be wrong, but mono is used to emulate dot net if i am not wrong [11:20] !package mono|prabha [11:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about package mono [11:20] prabha: uhm, I don't exactly understand what you are asking of me [11:20] Skyrail, no worries. I like easy fixes :) [11:20] balachmar: yeah I was curious as the other seems to feature a number of extra packages.. possibly too unstable or for testing purposes mainly [11:21] prabha: you can search for the description of mono in synaptic... [11:21] RobotCow: actually, wget works fine [11:21] RobotCow: but you have to quote the URL, not sure what character is causing the problem, that's why you were 404ing [11:22] RobotCow: this will work: wget "http://services.netbeans.org/bouncer/index.php?product=netbeans-6.5.1-ml-java&os=linux" and pick the best mirror for you [11:22] I'm assuming the & might have had something to do with it [11:23] !package mono-apache-server2 | prabha [11:23] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:23] Brucevdk, thanks [11:23] RobotCow: np [11:24] do you know any way of modifying the lock screen appearance? [11:24] i just installed avant window navigator in Add/Remove, clicked on Accessories>Avant window navigator nothing happens, how do i make it run? [11:24] can anybody tek me why there are two users with the same name-tht of the first user account logged in? [11:25] How can I list which daemons are currently running? [11:25] try ps or top [11:25] The equivalent of `service --status-all' === mafsi`away is now known as mafsi [11:26] I am sharing internet (via firestarter) to my desktop as for some reason it can't connect to my router (too far away) [11:26] however, my laptop can.. problem is.. I'm afraid I'm going to kill my LCD in my laptop having it on all the time [11:26] but if I shut the lid.. bam. Internet disconnects [11:26] Oh hang on... [11:26] from the laptop I mean.. therefore.. no connection to even share [11:26] pisses me off because I went to power management and set everything accordingly [11:26] Lanlost: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:26] depends what you mean by daemon, they are just regular programs running [11:26] !enter | Lanlost [11:26] Lanlost: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [11:27] Lanlost: what is the laptop model? [11:27] sorry... im just crazy tired and I wanted to fix this.. it's been driving me crazy. All I have happen when laptop lid is closed.. at all.. is to turn off the monitor [11:27] presario c500 [11:27] sec [11:27] Well I'm used to using chkconfig to stop services running at boot, but I'm not sure what to use on Ubuntu. [11:28] Lanlost: does it go in standby when you close the lid? [11:28] how would that matter? not trying to be a dick, literally just curious as I have all power management off.. no shutdown of drives or hibernation or suspend.. all of that is disabled [11:28] penthief:view the man pages for ps and top commands [11:28] it .. shouldn't.. I turned that off in power management [11:28] Lanlost: have you read this http://www.1-script.com/forums/Increasing-Wireless-range-on-Presario-C500-article46223--25.htm [11:28] vlad: That won't help me disabling services. [11:28] uh.. what? [11:28] the wireless range is great [11:28] Lanlost: seems your antenna is under the lid [11:28] no... [11:28] Thank you both Paddy_EIRE and balachmar, it's worked and updated. let's just hope the developer(s) are happy with it :) [11:29] that may be the case.. the wireless range problem I am having is on the desktop [11:29] Skyrail: happy days and no probs [11:29] my laptop is getting a perfect connection.. even if the lid is 99% closed [11:29] Lanlost: how about just telling it to turn the display off and not activate any screensaver? [11:29] That IS what I have it set to [11:30] hmm [11:30] pentheif: there are a few gui tools which let you control the stop/start of services... did you search throu synaptic? try 'sysv init style' as a string [11:30] that's what I said.. I turned off all power management options and turned it to turning off the monitor when the lid is closed... no screensaver or anything else is activated.. including hibernate, suspend, turning off the hard drives, screensaver [11:30] hello [11:30] Lanlost: so you are sure it's not going into standby? [11:30] i just installed avant window navigator in Add/Remove, i clicked on Accessories>Avant window navigator nothing happens, how do i make it open? [11:31] Lanlost: the person on that forum said that he had the same problem until he switched to another WiFi channel [11:31] hello! [11:31] whats the ubuntu 9.04 channel? [11:31] I've tried that.. [11:31] Lanlost: that might help [11:31] :9 [11:31] #ubuntu+1 [11:31] how can i make my ubuntu server connject to the net using pppoe and then share the internet over my network? [11:31] thanks veloc1ty [11:31] kn100: #ubuntu+1 [11:31] It's not a problem with the wifi connection [11:31] Lanlost: the only thing I can think up of right now is that some script is getting executed when closing the lid, There's a whole bunch somewhere in /etc [11:31] Lanlost: an ACPI event might actually be firing [11:31] kn100 this one! [11:32] thats more along the lines of what I was thinking Brucevd, thanks (the first comment) [11:32] i've two parts of a audio book. Both parts are in m4b format and contains bookmarks for the chapters. I would like to put these two files together to one big file without loosing the position of the bookmarks... Can anyone tell me how to do this? [11:32] thanks in advance :) [11:32] come on people why are there two users with the same name logged in,what is number 2 for [11:32] vlad: you might be logged in from a terminal too... did you check that? [11:32] a laptop isn't going to have itshorty OWN code somewhere to go into standby is it? As in... it should be determined by the OS, right? [11:33] yes I am using a terminal too [11:33] Lanlost: just wondering what happens when you do /etc/init.d/acpid stop and then close the lid? [11:33] itshorty? How did I manage that instead of 'its'.. oh, tab auto completion [11:33] Brucevdk: good poin [11:33] *point [11:33] vlad: then that will show up as another login :) [11:33] ninadsp: Thanks. Anything command line? I feels wrong to fiddle with the /etc/rcN.d dirs [11:34] Hello [11:34] this is what i get 12:14:21 up 1:49, 2 users, load average: 0.44, 1.11, 1.07 [11:34] USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT [11:34] vlad tty7 :0 10:26 1:49 4:57m 0.16s x-session-manag [11:34] vlad pts/0 :0.0 12:09 0.00s 0.10s 0.00s w [11:34] vlad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:34] penthief: the recommeneded way is update-rc.d and invoke-rc.d ..... check out their man pages.. :) [11:34] ok [11:34] vlad: pts/0 is the terminal login, :0 is your gui login [11:34] ninadsp: Perfect. I had not heard of those before. [11:35] we will see if I get disconnected here in a sec [11:35] (I am on the desktop) [11:35] am I here? [11:35] penthief: ga ahead and try... they'll do your work :) [11:35] Lanlost: you're still here yes [11:35] semarang === nicolas_ is now known as Guest44046 [11:35] weird.. I actually got disconnected ( couldn't ping any site ) [11:35] thank you [11:36] Lanlost: and to answer your other question, I think it might actually be possible for some ACPI things to behave differently depending on the model. And maybe it's even possible for there to be some firmware somewhere doing something. [11:36] is there a tutorial about users and accounts [11:36] Hello, I'm trying to setup a backup system with rsync on my Ubuntu Server, but my rsync doesn't seem to load the rsyncd.conf. I guess that's because there's already a default rsync configuration on the Ubuntu Server distro, but I can't find the configuration files. Can you help me? [11:36] and turned it back on... and it didn't reconnect to freenode.. I had a ping running that once i shut the lid immediately did 'destination unavailable' [11:36] vlad: none that i know.. did you check the ubuntu wiki? [11:36] Lanlost: so wait, the problem still occurs? [11:36] as soon as I saw that i opened the lid again and it turned back on.. must have just not been disconnected long enough.. doens't make sense how it would stay connected to IRC any other way [11:37] brucevdk, yeah [11:37] I will thanks [11:37] vlad: np! :) [11:37] hello [11:37] Lanlost: probably because for IRC you have to time out, some packets get lost but oh well. [11:37] anyone could give some help? [11:37] I stopped acpi .. shut my lid.. and immediately IMMEDIATELY the pings stopped making it to google.. I open the lid, they immediately start again [11:37] i having a prob after resizing the partition [11:37] :( [11:37] Lanlost: I'm wondering if this is an issue with Firestarter (or actually what it uses to share the connection) [11:37] brucevdk, right.. it just seems that usually any packet loss meant disconnection it seemed [11:38] budz? [11:38] i cannot load into my current OS [11:38] kn100 [11:38] your current os? [11:38] yes [11:38] buds: do you know how to re install grub? [11:38] doing partition using Gparted [11:38] brucevdk, nope because the wifi itself disconnects [11:38] no [11:38] making partitions seems to screw up grub [11:38] im tryn to boot into vista [11:38] Lanlost: so wait, you close the lid and wifi disconnects? [11:38] i have to go [11:38] cya [11:39] buds: what os is not booting? windows o linux? [11:39] win [11:39] yeah... it doesn't fall out of range or anything though [11:39] using Gparted to install ubuntu [11:39] after resize [11:39] does anybody know of a way to open .lit files in linux [11:39] Lanlost: this just sounds way too weird [11:39] I had a script that would list any available networks looping [11:39] buds: ohh.. then i don't know if reintalling grub is the right way... [11:39] buds: pls wait around and ask someone who'd know [11:39] any suggestion? [11:39] and it still listed mine at full strength.. or near it (never under 90%) [11:39] ok [11:40] Lanlost: ok well, silly suggestion, but can't you just turn the LCD display off? [11:40] brucevdk, It does this on my girlfriends laptop too (ubuntu newest) [11:40] buds: one thing i would try would be to restore windows mbr first, then re install grb [11:40] it does the same thing [11:40] even screensaver does it [11:40] Lanlost: it doesn't do it on mine, X61t [11:40] Lanlost: sounds to me a simple solution would be to get a wifi card or dongle for your tower :P [11:40] does anybody know a good ip scanner similar to languard [11:40] *grub [11:40] well I'm sharing to my roommates as well [11:40] neither of them can hit the router either [11:41] even if I connect directly to the router with the laptop via eth it does it when I Close the lid [11:41] Lanlost: perhaps they too should buy wifi cards or dongles :P [11:41] *better [11:41] vlad: tried nmap? or are you looking for a sniffer? [11:41] Lanlost: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/359199 -- the only bug report I could find [11:42] I noticed that when I select firefox in the window list, the compiz cube rotates to the face where firefox has started and not the face where firefox currently is [11:42] Hi, what is the opimal java package to install in ubuntu 8.10 : from sun or from OpenJDK? [11:42] wow bruce, thanks.. I couldn't find one at all.. strangely since that seems like the obvious string you would search for .. heh [11:42] O_EDI: OpenJDK [11:43] is there a lot of software for the ubuntu arm port? [11:43] i've herd of it it can scan a range of ips as well right [11:44] anyway, I just wrote an SDL simple app to just draw a fullscreen black screen and turned down the monitor brightness as far as possible [11:44] anything think that won't save the life at all? [11:44] vlad: yes :) one of the best scanners i've seen to date [11:44] Brucevdk is there any configuration i should do in order to set the environment and keep OpenOffice running with OpenJDK? [11:44] Lanlost: not using it :) [11:44] Lanlost: I'm not sure if drawing black matters all that much :-) But I honestly don't know [11:44] I don't need a sniffer,what is the equivalent command to ipconfig /all and ipcofig /flushdns [11:45] Hmmmm. Could someone with the bash-completion package installed try the following as root: 'update-rc.d ' Do you get an error? [11:45] I though the problem was that LCDs have limited life specifically by color... [11:45] for instance, I had a friend whos blue completely went out [11:45] O_EDI: sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-openjdk and possibly the Java configuration bit in OOo itself [11:45] vlad: sorry. i dont know that... try ifconfig for the /all....... for flushdns try googling around... [11:46] Lanlost: that is just the way it goes.. nothing lasts forever [11:46] thanks [11:46] np [11:46] right.. well if i draw black then that's going ot be a hell of a lot better than having a full desktop displaying at all times, even if the monitor brightness is down. I would think at least [11:47] how do i implement quotas in ubuntu? [11:47] you have to install windows to do that [11:47] same thing as the blank screensaver without it disconnecting me [11:47] Lanlost: heh.. just using the blank screensaver would have been much easier [11:47] !quota > dayo [11:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about quota [11:47] !package quota | dayo [11:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about package quota [11:47] sounds a little like overkill [11:47] !quotas > dayo [11:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about quotas [11:47] hmm [11:47] !quota [11:48] !coffee [11:48] coffee is a caffeinated beverage made by filtering hot water through ground up roasted beans of the coffee plant. Flavouring to taste such as milk or cream, sugar or sweetener are often added afterwards. Not to be confused with !java [11:48] dayo: there is a package named quota... is that what you are searching for? [11:48] heh [11:48] bye [11:48] ninadsp: i want to enforce quotas for the users on my server [11:48] Lanlost: laptops are typically like disposable cameras anyway.. they are just not as robust as a desktop.. or a good thinkpad for that matter [11:49] Lanlost: I'm going to work on some other things, but good luck :-) === tabbar is now known as microsoft === microsoft is now known as microsoft-hitman [11:50] ok [11:50] everyone format your hard drives\ [11:50] its all over [11:50] microsoft-hitman, stop that [11:51] thank you, Brucevdk and everyone else who helped (Paddy_FIRE and co.) ..

Sshould i install all the OpenJDK packages available? or is it that i'm looking at the jre directory? === Brainbug is now known as FPE_Brainbug [12:07] hamax: boycot FAT if possible ;) [12:07] O_EDI: you need the JRE, the location for me is /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre [12:07] i was joking :D [12:07] bazhang: ok, ext 3, but just out of curiousity, why is it better than ext 2? what is the benefit of the jounaling?

[16:57] JimmyAx: see your routers config, it might be set to automatic... set it to manual and try some channels [16:57] gayatri: you have it. by default. it's your graphical interface. it's what you *see*.

Thanks :) [16:58] i had seen multiple windows in an x window in my school [16:58] Davide: according to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/, what version is installed? [16:58] Sonic, you would go into the option to partition it yourself when you start installing gnome [16:58] err Ubuntu [16:58] gayatri: ... and your Ubuntu doesn't allow you to have multiple windows? [16:59] it does [16:59] Okay [16:59] I have a clean install, I have headers but no kernel source, I tried apt-get install kernel-source, but it retuPackage kernel-source is not available, but is referred to by another package'rns ' [16:59] : there is 3 choose which one ? [16:59] but thats different [16:59] Just make sure to pay attention to the size of the partition when you are making new ones, and make sure that you dont play with that one [16:59] Okay [16:59] !kernel | xdon [16:59] xdon: 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 [16:59] what is the best way to load kernel source? [16:59] i guess i sound like a fool right now [16:59] gayatri: how about you actually tell us what it is that you want to achieve, regardless of what you think x-windows or anything is [16:59] If that's the caste, my recovery partition is 5.6 GB [16:59] *case [16:59] I would avoid that partition, right? [16:59] anyone know how to kill a program that refuses to be killed? [17:00] nobody can advise on making apport work to create useful backtraces? [17:00] i had worked a couple of times on my school comp [17:00] gayatri: you don't sound like a fool, you just sound like someone who should be asking a different question [17:00] none, multiverse , universe [17:00] they have redhat linux installed [17:00] hajmola: killall -9 programname [17:00] xdon: the complete kernel sources are not maintained as a package.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [17:01] Okay. What about the Partition Table? Would making a new partition modify the table? [17:01] and about three or four windows open up by itseld [17:01] i am sorry [17:01] kirb, it should be pointing to the correct nameserver. You can't really edit it as NetworkManager generates it on the fly. [17:01] dury:Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [17:01] maybe i dont really understand what x-windows is [17:02] jdu, ok well how can i verify these 3 ips are correct? or should i just assume so [17:02] Gary: i have no idea what that "xwin" command is.

[17:03] Davide: I have version 10. I can't recall if version 9 did fullscreen or not [17:03] oh oka [17:03] behappy: yeah because you have Synaptic open [17:03] gayatri: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System [17:03] kirb, I am not an expert on this, but you only actually need one, I think. It should probably point to your router, such as 192.168.0.1 [17:03] gayatri: think of X as the part of Linux that interacts between the system and all the graphical applications you run. it's the software system that lets graphics be done. it's capable of a lot of really cool stuff. you can even display graphics on another machine far away using X. [17:03] close it and then sudo apt-get install screem [17:03] dury: Oh yes thank you [17:03] kirb, your router should be repeating the dns service. [17:04] oh [17:04] jrib, why would it automatically install version 9? [17:04] gayatri: you may want to ask on #rhel what "xwin" might be - i have no idea [17:04] Davide: what version of ubuntu?

[17:15] Davide: youc an get links for the embedded videos let me try to find the option in firefox [17:15] ola [17:15] axisys: or it might be ehci-hcd in your case if your usb ports are usb2 [17:16] guys i have downloaded an IDE for linux [17:16] actually its Komodo IDE [17:16] Davide: actually it does seem to be problematic, going back from full screen locked up firefox for a bit [17:16] i had the file in .tar format [17:16] how do i go about installing the application [17:17] Davide: hit ctrl+i and go tot he media tab [17:17] in linux [17:17] Is there a way to know when or how long a particular user has been logged in?

I installed the VB Additions and enabled 3D graphics, changed the depth to 24 but now my mouse has disappeared = ( [17:21] cjb_ie: is there a I can tell which hcd I am using from dmesg http://pastebin.com/f15f7c292 [17:23] hmm, you have uhci-hcd too. personally i would just let modprobe worry about the details. [17:24] axisys: in the dmesg both ehci (usb2) and uhci (usb1 ) load [17:24] erUSUL: he's got ohci too, just to add to the fun.

[17:32] raa: is your message getting too long for the line? i'm seeing it end at "but i don't want to use real windows," [17:32] flubber sounds quite odd, and quite graphics card related [17:32] Good morning everyone, I am having a problem with my installation. For some reason my external hard drive is not being detected on boot, I have to unplug it and then plug it back in. Any ideas? [17:33] Horusofoz: you might want to try #vbox for that and mention the host os [17:33] hi [17:33] #ubuntu-es [17:33] I have a serial port USB adapter, and i want to use this new serial port in a windows xp guest under ubuntu host. I have set vbox to use serial ports, in particular COM1, with Host device type and /dev/ttyUSB0 path. Now under windows xp, serial ports is correctly seen by windows, but the program that use the serial port doesn't see my little robot (linked with the serial port). [17:33] With the real windows xp it all works perfectly, but i don't want to use real windows, only vbox with windows guest. Anyone can help me? [17:33] cc [17:33] jrib: How do you edit the driver for the mouse? I've seen inforums for some people it's editing driver "mouse" to "vboxmouse" [17:33] yes [17:33] hay [17:33] is there a known problem with su on jaunty ? I can't switch users, either using sudo or su [17:33] that is what i think it is too, are the graphics more demanding in ubuntu 8.10? [17:34] dashboard: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks [17:34] Horusofoz: either edit the fdi for the mouse or edit xorg.conf and add the appropriate option so that it gets used for input devices [17:34] !x | Horusofoz [17:34] Horusofoz: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [17:34] Flannel thanks [17:34] flubber I don't think they are more demanding.. it's just maybe you might need to try a smaller resolution [17:34] Horusofoz: erm, I meant to just point you at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X [17:34] am gone [17:35] flubber try using 16bit [17:35] ok [17:35] I'm pretty sure it's the xorg file but I don't know how to access and edit it [17:36] hiall [17:36] hi [17:36] jrib, cjb_ie, still shows up as being flash 9... I"m sure the process was terminated before I started firefox back up [17:36] Horusofoz: read closely what I said. If you choose to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (just use a text editor), you must add the appropriate option so that it gets used for input devicse (search « man xorg.conf » for "HAL") [17:37] Davide: how are you installing it?

[17:42] hi there [17:42] Gurkan`, i will be a lesson for you, that if everything is working awesome, do not change it, what have you install with (nvidia-glx), what other packages? [17:42] jrib, histo, cjb_ie, THanks very much, the plugin works, and I now get FULL SCREEN!! Much Appreciated!!! [17:42] but in my experience, wolfram are quite happy to provide a key for both windows and linux versions to run on the same machine. [17:42] Gurkan`, i -> it [17:43] anyway, mathematica is just an example, it happens the same with, say, age of empires. I'd like to fix this problem.

Normally i'd think the partition is mounted elsewhere, but that is not the case. [18:10] xubean: That's what I was thinking. My understanding is that Ubuntu is getting much better at working on a range of laptops as time goes on. I guess I'll just load it next to Vista just in case it doesnt work. === sukke_ is now known as sukke [18:11] felixsulla: yeah, you can either reboot, or you could use the live cd to first check whether wireless works or not in your particular laptop, without first installing. you do knwo about live cds or even better live usb drives now, don't you? === Guest90195 is now known as Jean1 [18:11] I know about live cd's, I have one for 8.10, but live usb i assume is the same on a USB drive? Where do you get the live USB? [18:12] you can create one in Intrepid, using the USB Disk Creator in the Administration menu [18:12] the only difference between the two is you can reserve some space on the USB disk for documents and such [18:13] felixsulla: yes, it's a USB drive, i won't go into all the details about creating a live USB, there Steeley just gave you the way also, but to test things out live cd works just fine i think.. esp. cause u haven't installed ubuntu yet..

[18:39] sdfasdfasdfsadf: well you can still have it and KDE4 if you well figure out how to have them both working well together, or virtual machine 8.04 for KDE3 [18:39] I have an atheros 5007eg wireless card, and I can't connect wirelessly to my router [18:39] unanxbt, well like I said search around for photorec, it might be able to recover that file [18:39] Madwifi won't let me wget the stuff [18:39] sdfasdfasdfsadf: sadly they have stopped making KDE3, but even so I think it should have been an option in the repo for 8.10 and 9.04, but no [18:40] i use f10 [18:40] sdfasdfasdfsadf: heh what are you doing here then? [18:40] eseven73, ok, lemme check [18:40] sdfasdfasdfsadf: by the way the actsaul kubuntu channel is #kubuntu [18:40] asking if im missing something because im not using kubuntu :) [18:40] ahhhhhhh [18:40] can i configure the gnome network applet to only use 1 out of my 2 wireless adapters? [18:40] sorry didnt know that [18:40] sdfasdfasdfsadf: ,but can talk about KDE here to [18:41] can someone help me please? I have no menu.lst and stuck at the grub command line when trying to boot [18:41] sdfasdfasdfsadf: well how much computer does your ram have? ,because if you got enough you can virtual machine Kubuntu and try for yourself [18:41] i use my second one for metwork pentesting on my own network, but the networking applet always connects it to my network [18:41] sebastien, 760 mb [18:41] How do I make my atheros wirelessss card driver from windows vista work in Ubuntu 8.10? [18:41] sdfasdfasdfsadf: ok you can virtual machine with that [18:41] rubberducky, configure /etc/network/interfaces to take control of the interface you don't want nm-applet to [18:41] sdfasdfasdfsadf: want to try Kubuntu? [18:41] sdfasdfasdfsadf, it will be damn slow [18:41] sdfasdfasdfsadf: both versions? KDE3 and KDE4? [18:42] hey. anyone know if it's possible to have dual monitor with svideo? [18:42] unop, do i just add wlan1 to that list? [18:42] yes stickboy but it looks like complete and utter rubbish [18:42] меня видно? [18:42] ........... [18:43] rubberducky, pretty much .. but there's a format in which you do that. see the interfaces(5) manpage. i.e. man 5 interfaces [18:43] kruuth, damn. wanted to use svideo out to my hdtv but i guess not. i guess simple vga would be better. [18:43] Can anyone help me with my driver problems?? [18:43] ubuntun00b10997: what kind of driver problem? [18:43] tarik, yes [18:43] sebsebseb, no thanks im happy with fedora [18:43] svideo is extremely low resolution when compared to vga [18:43] I can't make my atheros work [18:43] sdfasdfasdfsadf: don't you understand what a virtual machine is? [18:43] use vga [18:43] because madwifi won't let me download though terminal [18:44] and I have no clue about this stuff [18:44] sdfasdfasdfsadf: it will let you run Kubuntu inside Fedora [18:44] unop, and then nm-applet will ignore them? [18:44] ok, thanks kruuth. [18:44] Right now I', wired straight to my modem [18:44] rubberducky, yes [18:44] Hello! [18:44] guys i have 3 vobs i want to burn to dvd .. any command line way to do this ? [18:44] sebsebseb, yeah i know that, im lazy [18:44] ChrisHerlein: hi [18:44] any chance you know how to help me with my raid issue? [18:44] sdfasdfasdfsadf: well setting up a virtual machine does not take long [18:44] sdfasdfasdfsadf: and is rather simple to do [18:44] i know [18:45] i dont feel like doing so [18:45] Is it possible to determine that a swap partition must be completely used before a second be used? I want this because my first partition is a fast flash memory stick and the second is a file in a XFS fs. Thanks [18:45] Someone knows that where can i download xubuntu screensavers? [18:45] obtw, svideo maxes at 576i in pal but that's it [18:45] ChrisHerlein: I don't think there are any screensavers for Xubuntu, or as such [18:45] sdfasdfasdfsadf: I started with Fedora Core 2 by the way [18:45] unop, if i add auto wlan1 and i take out en put the adapter back in, nm-applet still controls it? [18:45] Ok, thankyou [18:46] do i need to restart the system? [18:46] Can I run a website straight from my laptop without having to pay for anything provided my network is configured correctly? [18:46] yes [18:46] Cool. [18:46] rubberducky, nm-applet will ignore any interfaces specified in the interfaces file. you might have to restart the networking and network-manager services. [18:46] sdfasdfasdfsadf, in my opinion the best kde support and look is in opensuse [18:46] yes you can [18:47] help [18:47] you can run a site off a laptop [18:47] how can i get ipaddress static from the terminal [18:47] file server too? [18:47] yes [18:47] hello [18:47] look up dynamic dns [18:47] everybody [18:47] okay [18:47] I'll go look ity up [18:47] Floops, ifconfig [18:47] why can copy more 4gb om my hard [18:48] sdfasdfasdfsadf: yeah I hear opensuse with kde4 is pretty good. However I am now using kubuntu jaunty with kde 4.2.2 and I am really impressed and loving it [18:48] icqn, i agree with you, but you need a nice computer to run opensuse, it likes eating my ram :) [18:48] hi [18:48] ubuntun00b10997: you can, but your lap top isn't really server hardware [18:48] ubuntun00b10997: it wasn't desigend to be left on all the time [18:48] how do you download a deb with apt-get... i want to download it to the working directory [18:48] What about a desktop? [18:48] Im curios to see how many ppl are doing a clean install of 9.04 or a distribution upgrade? [18:48] ubuntun00b10997: same thing for the standard desktop [18:48] So I need a server system? [18:48] D: [18:48] ubuntun00b10997: probably better running it on the lap top then the desktop though [18:49] ubuntun00b10997: no you don't need server hardware [18:49] It's possible, thoughm isn;t it? [18:49] ubuntun00b10997: just your lap top or desktop may work for longer, if it's not left on all the time [18:49] just get Ubuntu server edition [18:49] !lamp | ubuntun00b10997: [18:49] ubuntun00b10997:: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [18:49] eseven73: no he can run LAMP in the desktop editition :) [18:49] sdfasdfasdfsadf, yes, that is also true. 768 is on limit [18:49] server edition has a different kernel [18:50] sdfasdfasdfsadf, use gnone then, it will be faster [18:50] ubuntun00b10997: of course for a real website, you still need to pay someone for a domain name, but those are pretty cheap these days I think [18:50] what about [18:50] wait [18:50] by domain name, do you mean url? [18:50] ubuntun00b10997: yes [18:50] Cause I could just get a co.nr [18:50] once again, can someone give me a hand with getting my windows raid1 on a SiI 3114 going? [18:51] ubuntun00b10997: what's nr? [18:51] hold on [18:51] http://www.freedomain.co.nr/ [18:51] free domain, sire. [18:51] eseven73: diffenret kernel, so one that is better for servers? [18:51] yes [18:51] more geared toward server stuff [18:51] ubuntun00b10997: ok Ubuntu server edition, if your only going to use that computer to host a website [18:52] now [18:52] and you can put a lightweight window manager on it like fluxbox [18:52] could you gutys help with my driver [18:52] eseven73: saying this in the suppourt channel may be a bit bad, but not many people run Ubuntu servers, Debian and Redhat and so on, but Ubuntu, nah [18:52] thats why you install fluxbox on it silly [18:53] eseven73: well people don't even need a GUI, if they know what they are doing properly :d [18:53] ubuntu server kernel is configured nicely for server though and don' t have the bloat with server dition you do with red hat [18:53] why is everyone so reluctant to answer my driver questions? [18:53] well he sounds kind of new for not having any GUI at all [18:54] !patience | ubuntun00b10997 [18:54] ubuntun00b10997: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [18:54] man but you wan't a gui when working with VMs because guest additions don't work well with the console [18:54] ubuntun00b10997: what driver issue?

[19:06] can you use that to paste the out put of the command "gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [19:06] i'd like a command line app actually that one could use for pastebinning [19:07] e.g. pastebin < /etc/X11/xorg.conf and it would output your pastebin url [19:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/149040/ [19:07] hey guys, any webpage that i start to load (firefox, opera, swiftfox, konquerer), takes really long to load initially....

[19:09] either that, or you have ipv6 enabled and your network or isp don't support it. [19:09] unop i still can't open it [19:10] my ftp-server only works local how can i let it work on m Wan address i have ubuntu server 8.10 [19:10] QpSmiley: If you break your display settings running the command "sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf && sudo nvidia-xconfig" should fix it [19:10] and it says that the file must be downloaded in a windows machine that really suck any support for linux in acroread? [19:10] cjb_ie: someone else suggested that it could be a DNS problem too, but it didn't seem like it when i tried something like "dig www.google.com" from the terminal. how can i check if all the nameservers in resolv.conf are reachable? thanks for responding [19:11] if i have the files copied off a DVD video, what can I use to play these? [19:11] hello [19:11] something that will let me see the menu,etc. [19:11] xubean: if dig at a prompt returns quickly, it's probably the ipv6 issue. [19:11] just wanted to know if i can get support ... my text mode doesnot work [19:12] cjb_ie: i remember i did something about that too.. i can't remember exactly what, but i do remember that. is there a way to resolve it? thanks [19:12] am currently on ubuntu 8.10 [19:12] what do you mean text mode doesn't work [19:12] after loading X etc,,, i just crtl alt + f1 it wont allow me to go to text mode n my screen flashes [19:13] siro: Do it twice [19:13] hey all [19:13] i need to crtl alt + f7 to go back to gnome [19:13] i done it a lot of time :S [19:13] siro: Your monitor must not support the resolution that your framebuffer is using. [19:14] everytime i do install linux >.< graphic problem :( [19:14] yeap its an old monitor [19:14] how to change the framebuffer ? [19:14] hey anyone know why when i reboot it never saves my monitor refresh rate [19:14] siro: if you use the startup-configuration (installable from synaptic) you can change the resolution to fit your monitor [19:14] i have nvidia drivers [19:14] unop i still can't open it [19:14] and it says that the file must be downloaded in a windows machine that really suck any support for linux in acroread? [19:14] xubean: i can't remember, but man ip will probably tell you. (probably something like ip addr del eth0 inet6 1234::5678 ) [19:14] startupconfiguration : / [19:15] hmm let me see about it [19:15] am just new to it : / [19:15] i'm looking at a help page from ubuntugeek right now, i think i've already done that, i will let you know thanks [19:15] siro: Im not on my ubuntu box so im going off memory [19:15] h8red: run.. sudo nvidia-settings [19:15] how do you download a deb to the working directory with APT?

[19:17] emagmant, it's claiming pcsx-df doesn't go back to gutsy [19:17] h8red: yes.. running as sudo for nvidia-settings means that anything that it saves will stick since it's a system setting. [19:17] ok i figured out I need to use dmraid to get this going, but I want to get this going [19:17] ahh cool [19:17] whats the exact syntax sorry? [19:18] really appreciate it!

[19:20] !ask [19:20] 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. :-) [19:20] !ask [19:20] I'm dual booting vista and ubuntu 8.04 [19:21] dmraid is working, I can see both drives but how do I get them to mount as 1 drive? [19:21] so far its worked perfectly fine [19:21] but, now my ubuntu partition refuses to mount [19:21] xubean: no more brilliant ideas from me i'm afraid :( [19:21] i tried using grub and that has nothelped. [19:21] Amphrogrammer: Do you know of any event that triggered this change? [19:22] has anyone else experienced a problem with ubuntu where all the websites are load slowly intially, i checked for DNS issues, and as far as I can tell it's not an ipv6 issue either.. [19:22] none that I can think of [19:22] xubean: if you like wading through torrents of crap, you could try strace'ing a browser to see it does before the delay happens [19:22] damn [19:22] Amphrogrammer: does it frop you to busy box? or does it hang? [19:22] refresh rate didn't stick [19:22] drop* [19:22] Hi Ubuntu Comm [19:23] it just gives me an "un able to mount partition" statement and brings me back to os selection.

[19:39] I have an Ubuntu Server in a VM that is running an SSH server and LAMP. The network card in the VM is told to replecate an IP on my router (which it does, 192.168.0.14) and when I ping 192.168.0.14 in the VM I get a response, but if I ping it from the host I get no response. [19:39] Can anyone tell me how to fix this? [19:39] TheFuzzball➜ which hypervisor? [19:40] cellofellow: VMWare [19:40] TheFuzzball, can the VM ping anything else on that network? the router perhaps? [19:40] unop: yes, which is what makes it weird. [19:41] TheFuzzball➜ maybe #vmware can help [19:42] cellofellow: don't think it's a VMWare problem, I ran a LAMP server in Ubuntu Desktop on a VM before this and it worked perfectly. It is an Ubuntu Server problem AFAIK [19:42] What directory contains runlevel init links?

[19:45] Nope [19:46] Pupeno, depends on which runlevel you want to put it in [19:46] DigitalMan➜ sometimes the livecd just takes a *long time* to boot. [19:46] cellofellow: I have no bluetooth hardware connected whatsoever at the moment.

[19:47] DigitalMan➜ ok, yeah 15 minutes is too long [19:47] Should I try 8.10 then just upgrade it to 9.04? [19:47] Pupeno, in debian/ubuntu.. runlevel 2-5 are all the same, runlevel 2 is the default.. so i'd say /etc/rc2.d [19:47] DigitalMan➜ when you get to the boot menu, hit F6 and remove the "splash quiet" options so you can actually see what's happening.

[20:00] my last question is... I read Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. That's OK,I guess, but does that mean I need to reinstall the operative system every 6 months? or 1 installation and then update or upgrade a lot, like in ArchLinux? [20:00] TheFuzzball1, do both cards have access to the internet? [20:00] I installed openoffice3.0 in my ubuntu 8.10 without uninstall the old version. How to let the oo3.0 to work? [20:00] Tedel: you can upgrade, but it usually sucks and breakes things (unlike in arch) [20:01] unop: I am talking about virtual cards, one that is host-only and one that connects to the router [20:01] unop thanks [20:01] ok, thank you for your time and answers. =) [20:01] is there an ubuntu package that provides perl "IP::Country::Fast" for spamassassin ?

[20:02] TheFuzzball1, I'm somewhat confused here .. doesn't the host-only mode allow you to communicate on the real network i.e. get to the router? [20:03] unop: nope, the host-only option creates a virtual network card on the host that allows communitcation between only the host an the VM [20:04] #evince (irc.gnome.org) [20:04] what is the package for "gio2"? [20:04] TheFuzzball1, ohh, odd - I thought it did otherwise. hmm, I don't know now. maybe you should ask in #vmware after all. [20:05] :D [20:05] :D? [20:05] GI [20:05] erm [20:05] GI Joe!

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [20:35] mikeize: can you pastebin the output of this command: find /etc -ls [20:35] hello [20:36] Gnea: i'm running livecd right now, won't that matter? [20:36] anyone noticed you dont have to agree to trems on google earth install, I was wondering why? [20:36] what they upto now lol [20:36] anyone know a good link to tell me how to set up fstab so I can see my windows network drives? [20:37] mikeize: clearly, you'll need to mount the partition and replace /etc with the correct path to that etc directory.... you should also be able to install pastebinit, temporarily, and use that to paste the output [20:37] This is sort of a windows question but also tied in with linux... I just set up a samba ubuntu computer for file sharing and my XP laptop cannot ping it, but it can ping my other samba ubuntu desktop I have here... I know wnidows takes a while for DNS to register what computer names are on the network. Would this be true in my case that maybe windows hasn't detected my other samba ubuntu desktop yet? [20:37] Gnea: ok, standby [20:37] I got a problem where exiting fullscreen games such as openarena the screen goes all black and stops to respond [20:37] ubuntu: you can just add a line like the one that are present in fstab [20:37] Ctrl alt backspace has no effect [20:38] that q has been here b4 I would check the forums [20:38] Rov, its your card, just dont do the 3d stuff [20:39] if i download the backports but dont install them, how would I install them after rebooting ? [20:39] if you know the card is supported then post back [20:39] I was updating my 8.04 as usuall .. and when I restarted i got this error msg saying that COuldnt start X server .. [20:39] wbd: I will do the 3d stuff. I got an HD4850 and I will use it [20:39] with the command "fdisk -l" you can see the partitions present, so you can see the device of type NTFS (windows ...). You just add a line to mount that device to a directory you chosse and you can read your windows files ;) [20:39] thats new, I have a hd 2400 pro [20:39] i need update my comiz to sphircal can help me [20:39] hello [20:40] im in 2.6.27-7-gen and need to boot into -27-14-generic, then installthe backports that I downloaded earlier ? [20:40] Rov, the drivers are not forth coming from ati [20:40] !ati [20:40] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:41] This is sort of a windows question but also tied in with linux... I just set up a samba ubuntu computer for file sharing and my XP laptop cannot ping it, but it can ping my other samba ubuntu desktop I have here... I know wnidows takes a while for DNS to register what computer names are on the network. Would this be true in my case that maybe windows hasn't detected my other samba ubuntu desktop yet? [20:41] Roasted: Make sure that they are in the same workgroup [20:41] Rovanion - same workgruop? We're talking a windows computer vs a linux computer... [20:42] or you add the ip of your sama server to hosts.txt [20:42] Roasted: Yes, correct [20:42] Roasted: try the equivalent of 'smbclient' on windows to get a list of known workgroup services [20:42] Wow! hey BigMike [20:42] Roasted: You are connecting trough a Windows protocole. So you got to fallow the rules set up by it [20:42] hi what is the command to mount ntfs partitions? [20:43] mount :p [20:43] Gnea: http://pastebin.com/d7f65ca7b it's weird though, with a lot of blank space at the top [20:43] mount -t vfat [20:43] mikeize: checking [20:45] mib: alt f2 reboot then choose windows on start :) [20:45] hey mwres [20:45] will sudo mount -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222 /dev/sda3 mount windows with rw? [20:46] mikeize: hrm, i'm not seeing anything out of place there... not sure why the whitespace is so prevalent, but that's beside the point... it's possible that either the memory, the hard drive or the motherboard are going bad... have you run memtest and/or fscked the drives when they're not mounted? [20:46] Rovanion - What exactly would I have to do on the Ubuntu Samba computer? I set up two of these, but the one is lacking the ability to connect with my XP laptop. I'm not sure what else to do. [20:46] Gnea: not yet... :( everthing is less than 2 years old tho [20:47] Roasted: Lets move to a PM chat [20:47] Gnea: also, reinstall fixes it === bl4ckcomb__ is now known as bl4ckcomb [20:47] mib_0ovtul: you can better use ntfs-3g, if you want to write as well [20:49] yo yo yo [20:49] Hi all [20:50] is there a chat channel here [20:50] This is a public chat?!

"x-chat" appears to be useful [20:51] thanks barbarella [20:52] brian87: You mean IRC? [20:52] TheOnlyMerlin: #openoffice.org is the channel you need [20:52] Gnea: :p anyway, no errors found fsck [20:52] barbarella: nothing happened [20:52] mikeize: of course, you can reinstall over and over again without actually testing anything to try and find out where the real problem is at [20:52] okay that's what i meant [20:52] I've heard of Ubuntu having video and audio editing software. How does this software compare to what Mac may offer? Does Ubuntu have better open source and free alternatives to this software? [20:52] ok, after I download the backports and reboot, how would I install them under the newer kernel ? [20:52] mib_izxg7m: you need to use -o rw [20:52] neruda, I would suggest at least a linus partistion, a windows partition, a shared data partition, and a linux swap.

[20:58] Omni: if its been an hour its definately had an issue [20:58] Omni: i'd close it and see if the cd is okk after ejecting it then reinserting [20:59] is it possible to install pulseaudio 1:0.9.14 (jaunty) on intrepid? It seems to fix bug of high cpu usage. [20:59] ActionParsnip1: no, it doesn't say it's done. I'll close it. It's an iso, so I'm not sure if it's going to be ok. I don't really need the checksum, do I? :P [20:59] I just tried to mount an external usb drive (ntfs) and ubuntu says it didnt shut down properly with windows so I followed to the direction in the log file trying to force the mount through fstab and command line but neither worked any suggestions?

[20:59] Omni: i'd see what you have [21:01] well what the heck? when I pressed 'cancel', it went to the "SUCCESS!" thing. and it burned correctly. :|||| [21:01] oh well [21:01] thanks ActionParsnip1 [21:01] U-b-u-n-t-u, connect the drive back to windows and properly shut down and then reconnect it to Ubuntu [21:01] martinkoelewijn: no, not recommended [21:01] mrwes when I connect it to the windows machines I have the dont even see it [21:01] anyone have suggestions for a boot manager? I want to install more than one distro on an external sata drive and have the option to boot into any of them.... [21:02] Omni: jack the disk out, then reinsert, see what you get [21:02] user_: thanks; not recommended as in generally not recommended or because you know of issues with pulseaudio?

[21:27] i dont know who played with sound in later ubuntu version... either totem player or amsn "locks" my sound card and gotta kill X and log back in to get sound in unreal tournament [21:27] Except: Awesome :) [21:27] in old alsa versions it worked [21:28] weird--installed AdBlock Plus in Ubuntu, but it didn't install the corresponding .deb. I thought that's how other Mozilla add-ons were handled. [21:28] caty: is there something that you need IE for that absolutely won't work with firefox? [21:28] which noob broke the working sound? [21:28] n00b-_-, probably should. if not, they will inform you about need to download proper codecs, which then you can choose to download and install. [21:28] n00b-_-, automatically. [21:28] :) [21:28] i heard about 'pulseaudio' [21:28] Guys i get black screen and : resolution is not suported optimal res 1280x1024 @60 [21:28] alsa worked [21:28] dotblank: yes, it looks sleek, and works great. But I do have a problem, I won dered if anyone could help [21:28] is there a more technical ubuntu channel where i can ask about mdadm? [21:28] then some idiot replaces with broken new system [21:28] gnea, what is firefox? [21:28] i got told ubuntu was a better windows tho ? [21:28] Monitor Dell e196fp [21:28] any comments? [21:28] Except: probally [21:28] !firefox | caty [21:28] caty: firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins [21:28] n00b-_-, Ubuntu is an Operating system. [21:28] lf you Want to have ie on Linux [21:29] caty: it is a well-known alternative web browser [21:29] n00b-_-, it falls next to other operating systems, one of which is MS Windows. [21:29] Gnea: caty and meshuggah are here to troll [21:29] n00b-_-, if it's better, it's a case of personal preference. most of the people here seem to prefer it, I suppose. [21:29] i dont know who played with sound in later ubuntu version... either totem player or amsn "locks" my sound card and gotta kill X and log back in to get sound in unreal tournament... it used to work two releases ago [21:29] ok i have written to much? [21:29] n00b-_-, (I do for one) [21:29] imachine, well, i wouldnt say that it *falls* =P [21:29] gnea, is it a copy of internet explorer ike msn is amsn? [21:29] they said it was better [21:29] :( [21:29] fx3, sits. [21:29] why you go break what used to work [21:29] sebsebseb: i see. [21:29] is that progress? [21:29] sebsebseb, ? [21:29] Well, it worked great, I played with it a bit, and today, suddenly, when trying to connect to any wireless network, it stalls intermittently. The whole computer. The mouse is nearly impossible to control and everything goes in 5 second stalled jumps. [21:29] troll, like ad&d ? [21:30] n00b-_-, there can be numerous reasons why these mysterious "they" think so, but if "they" indeed do, it would be good to ask them why exactly, for starters, and that's what I would've done first, if I were you ;] [21:30] So I had to go back to windows to ask you this question :( [21:30] caty: no, actually firefox is an off-shoot of mozilla, which is the open-source offshoot of netscape, which was copied by microsoft, back in the day, to become IE [21:30] Except: Did you recently update ubuntu? [21:30] I am not sure about downloading the newestvversion of ubuntu [21:30] Gnea, inadeptly [21:30] Yes, I did update this morning. [21:30] netscape was just fancied up mosaic browser from CERN [21:30] meshuggah: ever heard of 4chan? [21:30] gnea, oh [21:31] ubuntun00b10997: back [21:31] Gnea, if I may add [21:31] ;] [21:31] so here goes... I have added a theme to emerald i have activated emerald and I don't know what happen, coz when I click the little green men to choose shut down... there isn;t any shut down option... and the only way I shut down now is from terminal... can this be fixed? ... and an Other one... how can I get this cursor >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GQ52l15LrQ the little yellow things ...Does anyone know how to get that and solve my shut down problem? [21:31] and mosaic was first graphic HTML browser [21:31] ActionParsnip1: may I speak to you in pM? [21:31] gnea, so firefox is better [21:31] 4chan? [21:31] imachine: lol [21:31] Except: Did you manually compile your drivers? [21:31] nah [21:31] ubuntun00b10997: no i'm kinda doing a lot right now so i cant hold your hand every step in that very comprehensive guide === freenode is now known as Guest52106 [21:31] dotblank: no I wouldn't know how to do that. [21:31] caty: yes. problems are fixed with it much faster. [21:31] ActionParsnip1: okay [21:31] caty, there's a good chance it's faster, safer. it's often also going with standards, set by other people, unlike ie which just tries to set standards of its own and force web developers to stick to it. [21:31] why so many users complain about sound and gnome and pulseaudio [21:32] i know in our LUG they do [21:32] Caty firefox or opera is better than ie [21:32] sound and ubuntu and pulseaudio [21:32] things that used to work now dont [21:32] require tricks [21:32] or whatever [21:32] RedWar, lynx is better than IE [21:32] ubuntun00b10997: its all there for you with full commands [21:32] gnea, oh [21:32] okay ubuntu live logging into to a secured wireless then getting kicked off the network after 1 minute, any ideas? [21:32] !pulseaudio [21:32] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [21:32] Except: you may have to compile the latest wireless drivers and install them manually untill the next kernel update fixes it [21:32] ActionParsnip1: thanks for the webpage, I think I got it figured out [21:32] ciao [21:32] Does anyone know how to make the little green runing man to show shut down function? [21:32] caty, try it and see for yourself. to be honest tho, I haven't seen anyone with more than bits of computer knowledge running IE for anything more than downloading another browser. [21:32] and it will stay connected to unsecured networks.. [21:33] caty, eventually, windows update or testing ;] [21:33] ubuntu bad signal, and network manager sucks at reconnecting [21:33] Ii think lynx x is best of all, no graphics woot! [21:33] * miha had fun eduroam wpa enterprise and 20% or so signal [21:33] ubuntu: have you tried wicd? [21:33] dotblank: ok... but how do i do this if i cannot connect to the internet? Can I roll back that update perhaps? [21:33] and gnome network manager cant login back [21:33] it asks you [21:33] every time [21:33] well the neighbors wifi is slow so i might have to [21:33] who designed that :) [21:33] miha: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:33] exactly [21:33] !enter | miha [21:33] miha: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:33] coz mine doesn't wanna show... === ubuntu is now known as manpoole [21:34] Except: you can try booting into an earlier kernel. when grub is loading try selecting the second latest kernel [21:34] imachine, i am not firebox now hoe ddo i favourite some thing [21:34] Ok... that's in the boot menu? [21:34] caty, it's called bookmarks. [21:34] Where I choose between windows and linux? [21:35] yes Except [21:35] caty, you can press the little star in the address bar for example. [21:35] caty: have you installed Ubuntu yet? [21:35] caty, other than that, I'd suggest reading www.firefox.org or so, to get a grip of how it works. [21:35] caty can you please repeat your last question? [21:35] miha hwo do i fix the disconnecting issue? [21:35] RedWar: no need for that. [21:35] Ok. So I try that, then download the wireless drivers (from where?) and 'compile' them and install them? Would this take me a week to figure out if I never did that before? [21:35] imachine, ty [21:36] oh yeah and im pretty new to linux id say about 2 hours new [21:36] can anybody help me with setting up broadcom wi-fi? [21:36] caty, it's quite intuitive after a while, just play and experiment with it a bit. [21:36] !wireless [21:36] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:36] Except: yes [21:36] Except: you should see multiple entries for ubuntu [21:36] so how many here use ubuntu (runs away before the egging) [21:37] * Gnea looks oddly at osgeld [21:37] i found a really good webpage on howto install windows wifi drivers earlier today [21:37] :)) [21:37] got me running in a few seconds I can find it if you want [21:37] i dont use ubuntu [21:37] osgeld: I'm gonna guess 1,404 people ;) [21:37] Anyone have any ideas why the top bar (min/max buttons) is now gone from Firefox but is there and works fine on any other app [21:37] manpoole: can I have that? [21:37] maybe the 9.04 [21:37] meshuggah: why not? [21:38] manpoole, I think there's even a graphical application gtk2 for Ubuntu. [21:38] ? [21:38] manpoole, helping with windows drivers. [21:38] vidor: maybe they r under the menubar [21:38] Gnea, i will try the 9.04, if it is really faster [21:38] vidor, full screen? [21:38] Hm. okay, it sounds like this is too complicated to pull off. I wouldnt know how to compile drivers or even what drivers to look for. [21:38] Gnea : and the rest [21:38] meshuggah: faster than what? to do what? [21:38] Gnea, if it is, i will install only this one [21:38] Gnea, faster than 8.10 [21:38] meshuggah: at doing what? [21:38] Am i looking at the manufacturer's site? they dont have linux drivers afaik [21:38] hey guys [21:39] I upgraded from gutsy to hardy and now i cannot su in the terminal, the password for su does not work anymore can someone help me? [21:39] No not full screen and there is no menu bar anymore ... the only thing I can see are the buttons below the menu bar and the rest of the page [21:39] I cant pass throught 8.10... I have big problems with wireless card [21:39] xarus: well, at least a couple bots there ;) [21:39] I still use 8.04 [21:39] !offtopic [21:39] im going to be redoing my machine soon, is there really any reason to use the x64 edition [21:39] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:39] Gnea, to do all [21:39] osgeld: no [21:39] Gnea, to do firefox, music, video, games,... [21:39] meshuggah: what are your system specs? cpu/mem/hd? [21:39] !sudo | MagoonD [21:39] MagoonD: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [21:39] On HARDY heron all, is pulseaudio friendlier than using alsamixer? [21:40] Except: This is true most manufactures don't have linux drivers but the chip makers do, During the startup where you select wich OS do you have more then one option for ubuntu? [21:40] Gnea, p4 1.5ghz, 256mb ram, 3x40gig hd, geforce 4 [21:40] osgeld: if you have more than say 3Gb ram then use 64Bit imho, 64bit is great now, java can be a pain otherwise its flawless [21:40] 64mb [21:40] ubottu, thx sudo seems to work [21:40] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:40] rebooting. [21:40] looooool [21:40] poertugues [21:40] portugues [21:40] wh00p?! a reboot! [21:40] huge [21:40] meshuggah, should be more than enough, could use more ram tho. [21:41] im using 8.04 atm just cause im lazy and it was already installed when i upgraded hardware, 9.04 i just saw is faster is there newer versions i should avoid? [21:41] meshuggah: okay, standard ubuntu does not work good with 256mb of ram. I would recommend increasing your memory to at least 512mb, or using a different version of ubuntu (such as kubuntu, elivecd or xubuntu) [21:41] irc em portugues [21:41] ubuntu-br [21:41] and no i only have 2gb [21:41] Gnea, i tried xubuntu [21:41] dotblank: Yes I have a couple. My Wifi is an Intel 5100 AGN chip [21:41] speak english plz [21:41] !pt | Apolo [21:41] Apolo: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [21:41] Gnea, i only have the choice for rambus rdram [21:41] osgeld, wait till it comes out, would be the first suggestion. [21:42] meshuggah: I'm sure that www.pricewatch.com can fetch a reasonable price [21:42] osgeld, but if you feel adventurous and know your way about linux more or less, I've been using 9.04 + ext4 on two machines and had no major problems so far. [21:42] (and not many probably are on the way either) [21:42] #ubuntu-br [21:42] osgeld, it works a charm, especially with ext4. [21:42] Apolo: you need to type: /join #ubuntu-br [21:42] Hi! [21:43] Armin1: hi [21:43] hi [21:43] hi [21:43] ive been using redhat based ones for years, 8.04 is the first deb based linux ive tried, and i like it much better, altho i dont know if i feel that adventurous [21:43] osgeld, despite the fact there were two or three minor setbacks for some time (delete hangs, and then there's some theoretical data loss possible, but that's possible with any system really, and it's not as if it's a bug, not even a design flaw I'd say) [21:43] Hi Armin [21:43] I need to set up TV-OUT with Ubuntu 9.04 and a ATI Mobility Radeon x1400. Any help? [21:43] dotblank: http://intellinuxwireless.org/ says the drivers for my card are already in the kernel... or something [21:43] osgeld, it shouldn't eb a problem/. [21:43] osgeld, I recommend ext4 tho. [21:43] osgeld: its good to try ultiple distros [21:43] Except: Can you select an option with the second lowest version number without the word recovery [21:43] hi [21:43] osgeld, you can always try it out in a virtual machine environment. [21:43] weird ... i put firefox in fullscreen mode using keyboard shortcut and put it back to regular and my bars are back.... [21:43] anyone know why ubuntu 8.04 on a toshiba laptop will not hold advanced desktop effects settings? [21:43] osgeld, like virtualbox or so ;] [21:43] yea thats true [21:44] dotblank: I can try... [21:44] except which version? [21:44] clearly [21:44] thats probably the way to go [21:44] meshuggah: yes, while the minimum specs do say 256mb on the requirements, it is, just that: the minimum required. that doesn't guarantee that it's going to be any faster. elivecd is based on ubuntu but only requires 64mb of ram and a 100mhz cpu. [21:44] Sergeant_Pony, possibly due to a crappy graphics card. [21:44] miha: 8.10 [21:44] so can someone help me out with connecting to a secured wpa wireless network and then disconnecting every minute? when the unsecured network stays connected? [21:44] Except: if it worked before the upgrade this should give you internet [21:44] Sergeant_Pony, toshiba does many different laptops tho , so you'd have to be more specific. [21:44] imachine, ati built in [21:44] Sergeant_Pony, what model? [21:44] dotblank: I understand. But then what do I do? [21:44] except centrino 2 is from .27 kernel on [21:44] meshuggah: and I highly doubt that 9.04 is going to offer any significant speed improvement with your system specs over 8.10 [21:44] imachine, laptop or graphics card? [21:44] Sergeant_Pony, I'm pretty sure rage and friends don't support dri. [21:44] Sergeant_Pony, graphics [21:44] Gnea, ok [21:45] Gnea: really he does not even have that system, he is here to pretend to be noob now [21:45] Sergeant_Pony, at least dri for opengl in hardware. [21:45] imachine, don't remember, how can I check? [21:45] ("hardware") [21:45] Except: then we will have to get the latest drivers for your wireless card [21:45] Sergeant_Pony, lspci's your friend. === x0d__ is now known as x0d [21:45] meshuggah: on low ram systems, install lxde and you are golden [21:45] except that should be [21:45] 8.10 [21:45] miha: what does that mean for my wireless issue? [21:45] TV Out with ATI? 9.04 X1400 [21:46] Except: with the internet back I can walk you through the steps [21:46] dotblank: But they should already be part of the system... that's what intel's website says [21:46] except do you get anything at dmesg | grep wlan0 [21:46] sebsebseb: that's possible, but there's no need to be insulting. [21:46] Ok ill try to reboot into ubuntu, i might take a few minutes. [21:46] Except, ideally you could connect over a wired connection, and then come by here for debugging help. [21:46] Gnea: no I know, because of other channel [21:46] imachine, VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M] [21:46] Except, chances are, it's fixed in some new update, which you can pull over wired. [21:46] sebsebseb: which one? [21:46] I unfortunately dont have a wired connection available [21:46] Sergeant_Pony, no idea then. [21:46] Except, too bad :] [21:46] The rpoblem is the new update CAUSED the problem [21:47] Except: thats true, but if the current kernel broke it then we have to fix it. It might have already been fixed but the changes hasn't made it ubuntu yet [21:47] Except, what exactly did you update? [21:47] On HARDY heron all, is pulseaudio friendlier than using alsamixer? [21:47] except try booting to older kernel? [21:47] you have last few, dont you? [21:47] imachine: kernel most likely. [21:47] imachine: UBuntu told me I had 277 new updates, and I just allowed it to update all of that. [21:47] dotblank, not necesarily [21:47] imachine: yup [21:47] Except, 1) you can read update history in /var/log/dpkg.log [21:47] ariciao [21:48] scusate mi date una mano [21:48] Sergeant_Pony: either enable the proprietary driver or upgrade to intrepid [21:48] per la configurazione [21:48] Ok, I need to be inside of ubuntu to do all this, so I'll reboot, and try to connect using pidgin... i might take a bit [21:48] del mio monitor [21:48] vassalli: itliano?

[21:48] dotblank: ok [21:49] Extend, cheers [21:49] crdlb, I'm using the proprietary drivers already... intrepid doesn't run right at all on this laptop, that's why the 8.04 [21:49] do u know how to share internet from ath0 to a bridge ? [21:49] imachine: somtimes kernels brake compatability. chances are the bug was already found and he can install the latest wireless-compat === x0d is now known as NoZzLe [21:50] dotblank, right. we'll see.

[21:52] imachine: yup, and I asked if he just updated.. so all things point to kernel [21:52] as i understand, it just disable, not remove [21:52] dotblank, I guess using linux-backports-modules could help ;] [21:52] imachine: AGN card too [21:52] plastun, dunno [21:52] Does anyone know how I can get this kind of cursor...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GQ52l15LrQ [21:53] plastun, possibly, yes. you can just list the package owning the file with dpkg tho. [21:53] plastun, then remove that package [21:53] imachine: That would work. but the AGN chip I know is in the main kernel.. I think I fixed before actually [21:53] hmm. lsmod show me wl driver.

[21:56] ubuntun00b10997: the guide tell how to get it going, you dont need ndiswrapper [21:57] Except: Maybe imachine was right and has to due with NM [21:57] RedMushroom, w [21:57] ActionParsnip1: The guide didn't work [21:57] imachine, why my LED indikator light when i switch off my wi-fi? [21:57] What's NM? [21:57] Except, log into ubuntu, craete a new user, try logging in as teh new user and see if you can connect to wireless with that one. [21:57] plastun, ignore that [21:57] imachine, oh, no [21:57] plastun, leds aren't often supported. [21:57] ))) [21:57] Except, networkmanager.

[21:57] RedMushroom: cat /etc/passwd [21:58] dotblank: no, that's not possible, unfortunately. [21:58] Except, try as I said, creating a new user and logging in from that account. if it works, the problem lies in your configs not being compatible with the new updates. [21:58] dotblank, imachine: I'll try to do the new-user thing... but as soon as I log in it tries to auto-connect and the whole thing locks up so it might be difficult [21:58] Except, if it is so then you need to backup your ~/.gconf* and ~/.gnome* and remove them allowing gnome to recreate it. backup your evolution before that as well. [21:58] Parsnip: test [21:58] * dotblank believes might be smarter then me [21:59] I have no idea what 'evolution' is :) [21:59] Except mail program by novell and adopted by gnome [21:59] Except: you maybe able to clear the settings before logging in [21:59] evolution is a mail client [21:59] well I know what it is in the Origin of Species way :) [21:59] except we evolve right? [21:59] Gnea: still here? [22:00] dotblank: how do I do that: my user profile has nothing important, I can just wipe it...

[22:00] Roasted, define good. [22:01] sebsebseb: IT WORKS [22:01] ActionParsnip1: I bow down to j00 [22:01] there are differences from ubuntu to kubuntu? [22:01] ActionParsnip1: You hath coaxed my interwebz to work [22:01] :D [22:01] Alistrone, like gnome and kde. [22:01] Ubuntu forever! [22:01] ah ok [22:01] yes...othere differecnces? [22:01] I have a CanonMF5750 printer attached to a windows box. The printer is listed as a "paper weight" under the open source printing list. I have to imagine there is a way to send a generic post script or pdf to a windows share/server and have windows handle formating for the windows only print driver. I have no idea where to begin looking though. Any suggestions? [22:02] Apolo [22:02] Alistrone, that's it [22:02] ubuntun00b10997: good lad [22:02] imachine - I have 1 XP laptop and two Ubuntu desktops, each with Samba. On the XP laptop, I can ping the primary Ubuntu Samba desktop, but I cannot ping the secondary Ubuntu Samba desktop. However, I can connect to it via IP address and ping via IP address, but not by computer name which I was hoping to do so it can be set up like the primary Ubuntu Samba Desktop. [22:02] ok...what to u like more? [22:02] Alistrone, pretty much at least. during kde 3.x times kubuntu seemed a little undeveloped in comparison with Ubuntu. [22:02] hello, where I can find french irc ubuntu ? [22:02] ubuntun00b10997: reboot to check it comes up after a cold boot [22:02] Alistrone, but I think it's slowly catching up. [22:02] Alistrone, dunno, see for yourself. [22:02] how do I install xmms [22:02] how do I install programs in linux? [22:02] catching up^----what means [22:02] ? [22:02] franck_: #ubuntu-fr [22:02] thank's [22:03] Roasted, did you add the machine IP and name to the Windows hosts file? [22:03] emerson - sudo apt-get install xmms <-- type that in terminal [22:03] Roasted, any firewalls? [22:03] Roasted, are they all in the same domain? [22:03] ok.. [22:03] mrwes - I did not, but I didn't do that for the primary Ubuntu Samba desktop either. So I'm not sure why it'd matter if I didn't do it. [22:03] thx [22:03] Roasted: isn't work anymore... [22:03] Alistrone, np [22:03] Kanonkas: terminal [22:04] has been removed from the repository I don't know why. [22:04] imachine - No firewalls, all XP computers are on the workgroup "workgroup" and the smb.conf is pointed to workgroup in both scenarios. [22:04] no idea [22:04] Roasted, check logs [22:04] Roasted, wins is on both? [22:04] :-) [22:04] !xmms | emerson [22:04] emerson: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [22:04] mrwes - wins is NOT on both. [22:04] emerson - I highly recommend audacious. Ive used it for a long time. [22:04] What ani-virus programm would you recomend to use in Ubuntu 8.10? [22:04] !virus [22:04] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [22:05] imachine - what logs? [22:05] !virus [22:05] lol [22:05] Roasted, you set the netbios name on both? [22:05] bazilius: I'm using ubuntu for 1,5 years now with a lot of messing around; no virus problems [22:05] is it possible to install some software when using the live cd? [22:05] mrwes - netbios is not set on either one. [22:06] Does anyone know how can I make my lil green runing guy show shut down function? [22:06] Roasted: cool I gonna try it but I've been using it for a long time but but is fine...many thanks man. [22:06] Roasted, samba logs [22:06] Roasted, set the netbios name, I'm guessing they need to be different since you're running two samba servers, correct? [22:07] does anyone have experience with portable ubuntu (http://portableubuntu.sourceforge.net/) - I can't work out how to get Windows to ping it [22:07] mrwes - wouldnt the netbios name simply be the hostname of each computer? [22:07] Roasted, nod [22:07] xarus: no, but have you considered a launcher with gksudo shutdown in command? [22:07] martinkoelweijn: I don't believe that there is no risk... [22:07] mrwes - each ubuntu machine is not set with netbios, and each ubuntu machine is named differently, with this beign said why would my main machine work with NO netbios? [22:07] assumign netbios was required [22:08] is it possible to install some software, when one use the live cd? [22:08] Kanonkas: yes [22:08] How can I use private chat here? [22:08] martinkoelewijn : how do I do that? [22:08] Roasted, hell if I know :) [22:08] Roasted: all systems have a name [22:08] but it asks me for a password xray7224 [22:08] possable you might want to go to system > administration > software sources [22:09] Actionparsnip1 - I understand this, but I was saying that to eliviate from the fact that these two ubuntu machines COULD be named the same... but they are not in my acse. [22:09] case* [22:09] xarus: right click on panel > add to panel > custom launcher > in command field enter gksudo shutdown -hP now [22:09] Hey all! [22:09] Surprise! I'm NOT in Ubuntu === daniel1 is now known as dan1 [22:09] martinkoelewijn : You mean to close it by commands ? ooh yeah from 3 days till now I close it throught commands ( $ sudo shutdown -h now ) === dan1 is now known as danno [22:09] xarus: it will ask for password, so accidentally clicking is no problem === danno is now known as Daniel1234 [22:10] dotblank: I made a new user called Betty. I logged out, and logged in as Betty, and tried to connect -> and it hung again [22:10] Roasted: when they boot up, both systems will not get lan access, i'm unsure if an error is shown [22:10] does anyone know how to read the ".xsession-errors" file? [22:10] what package do I need to install to get /lib/modules/2.6.24-23-generic/build/.config [22:10] xarus: this is no commandline, it is icon you can click on which asks for password and shut sdown [22:11] i run a moto q9m as a usb modem with wvdial how can i route all the data to my eth0 [22:11] just finished a really nice install for a friend, decided to tody it up a bit, apt-get clean, remove the 'extra' kernels, etc... and I seem to have removed the running kernel!!! Now it boots right into memtest. Found a howto for fixing it, seems I'm not the first person who's ever done this ;) [22:11] does anyone know how networking works in Portable Ubuntu? (colinux) [22:12] Except: I am sad for you.. without internet functionality it makes fixing this very hard. you could try an even older kernel [22:12] how do i modify the owner of a folder? [22:12] Does anybody know good IRC sites? [22:12] martinkoelewijn : :) the last "P" is for password? If I delete it will it , it will not ask me for password? [22:12] !permissions | RedMushroom [22:12] RedMushroom: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [22:12] ActionParsnip1 - Each system has a different and unique host name, and each system has a different IP via my router acting as a DHCP server. I am unsure of how my primary desktop works perfectly and I do the same setup on the senodary setup and it fails to work fully. Again, it works by IP, I can go to start run and do [22:12] my windows instalation is on 192.168.0.2 - my colinux ubuntu installation is on 10.0.2.15 [22:12] zcat[1]: i think you will have to boot to livecd, chroot to the installed system and apt-get the kernel [22:12] Hi: I installed opera from their .deb package on 9.04 beta, and it doesn't show up in the programs menu, and 'which' doesn't fid it either? [22:12] nottrobin: no and that's unoffical program, and you would be better off running Windows in a virtual machine or some such in Windows [22:12] \\IP, and it works, but not by host name [22:12] ubuntu can ping wndows, windows cant ping ubuntu [22:12] bazilius: best I've seen in freenode ... any you like? [22:12] Roasted, sorry, no idea mate. [22:12] bazilius: a good irc channel is #megworld if you where asking that [22:12] Roasted, I rarely use samba anyway... [22:12] ActionParsnip1, yep that's what the howto says.. livecd's finished booting, brb..

IT'S URGENT! [22:13] Roasted: i've seen issues with names to ip resolution. ive always used hosts files to circumvent [22:13] imachine - I kind of have to, considering I run xp, vista, osx, and ubuntu :P [22:13] xarus: no, the gksudo part is for password; the P part i dont know, is custom command i found somewhere on internet; if -h worked for you last days then use that [22:13] ActionParsnip1 - Where is the host file located? [22:13] #megworld [22:13] i run a moto q9m as a usb modem with wvdial how can i route all the data to my eth0 [22:13] Roasted: /etc/hosts === Guest79176 is now known as Jean1 [22:13] Roasted, yeah , i understand. I just haven't ever setup a reasonably complex samba environment. just a pc2pc setup at best :) [22:13] eventually a printer or so [22:13] martinkoelewijn : ok thanks :) [22:14] hi, I need some help with setting up some public/shared directories in Ubuntu. I am trying to set up Virtual box but instead of each person having a separate windows install, I want a shared install location that my users can access individually. Since only my /home is kept separate (for ease in upgrading) I was thinking of setting up a new user under /home with the install and giving r/w privs to all the people to that users fi [22:14] Except: try booting the live cd and get on IRC then we might be able to do somthing [22:14] bah, cd drive is a bit flakey too. might see if I have another one [22:15] dotblank: Ok, but I dont have the Live CD with me, so I'll have to reburn it. I'll do that tonight. What do you think about re-installing Ubuntu, but doing the 8.04 thing? [22:15] ActionParsnip1 - I'm confused over something. My main computer has 127.0.0.1 skynet localhost.localdomain localhost [22:15] 127.0.1.1 jason-intrepid listed, and jason-intrepid is my OLD computer name. I changed it since then. Whereas my secondary computer has 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 UbuntuFOGDesktop in the host file. [22:15] xarus: deleting gksudo part will not work, since you need password for shutdown command [22:15] ActionParsnip1: Nope.. I sucessfully deinstalled the printer, reinstalled it and still nothing [22:15] Except: I was thinking either reinstall or chrooting into your previous install and adding drivers that way === adam is now known as Guest87174 [22:16] ActionParsnip1: I think I might have to reinstall Ubuntu cuz even at times, applications close by themselves, pretty weird [22:16] dotblank: yes but it'll take me longer to figure out how to do that than reinstalling [22:16] Would you say installing 8.04 LTS or 8.10 again? [22:17] VE2EBP: i'd read printer logs, see whats going on [22:17] martinkoelewijin : doesn't work... I don't know where I make the mistake...:(( [22:17] I click on it and nothing happens :(( [22:17] xarus: what did you do? [22:17] Except: wich one did you just use [22:17] VE2EBP, I'd do a memtest first. [22:17] let me check that [22:17] dotblank: I used 8.10 [22:17] Roasted: thats the name of your system you are sat at right [22:17] ? [22:17] zcat[1] how do you do a memtest [22:17] sorry I'm green [22:17] Except: yes go for 8.04 but 9.04 is less then a month away [22:18] chose memtest at the grub menu (on your install or the live cd) and leave it running for a couple of hours [22:18] dotblank: so... should I try 9.04 then? [22:18] ActionParsnip1 - Jason-intrepid is my old compute rname of my main computer. I changed it to skynet, and it works flawlessly under skynet. This change was done weeks ago. Yesterday is when I set up the secondary Samba computer. It's going to be used at work, I'm just setting it up here. I'm confused over why the "loopback" of the secondary shows 127.0.1.1.... not 0.0.1... [22:18] Oh it's on the install CD? [22:18] xarus: paste command you entered in command entry field here [22:18] Or at the GRUB menu? [22:18] VE2EBP, both [22:18] is there some generic way to determine what Ubuntu package contains a certain file? ... for example something that is missing when I build source [22:18] kk [22:18] Tnx berry much [22:19] ActionParsnip1 - But either way, I did not alter my /etc/hosts file on my main rig and XP computers can connect to it by hostname just fine, so I'm confused over how the secondary I'm setting up fails to work whent o best of what I can tell it's set up the same wa y. [22:19] Like my daughter would say [22:19] Except: 9.04 isnt out yet [22:19] gksudo shutdown -hP now... but I've tried even with gksudo shutdown -h now [22:19] Roasted: thats the loopback device that systems need to communicate with themselves [22:19] VE2EBP, for stuff randomly segfaulting, the first thing to check is for bad memory.. [22:19] Roasted: packages.ubuntu.com (like i told earlier) [22:19] ActionParsnip1 - I did a search in each smb.conf file, and there is NO instance of either hostname listed in either config file. I thought maybe the computer name must be put in the samba config file for it to work right. [22:19] Roasted: sorry [22:19] dotblank: ok... so I have no choice. I'll try 8.04. [22:19] Yet they are each in the workgroup "workgroup" [22:20] roadfish: packages.ubuntu.com [22:20] Roasted: its a glitch as some systems use .0.1 and some use .1.1 [22:20] should I let it 1.1? [22:20] Good evening everyone. Can someone give me some pros and cons comparing Ubuntu with Opensuse linux? [22:20] xarus: strange; no space in front of the line? what happens if you run this command in terminal? [22:20] !best | Sylar [22:20] Sylar: 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. [22:20] Roasted: yeah as its expected [22:20] ill tri it on terminal... one sec [22:20] user_: tnx [22:21] ill tri it on terminal... one sec [22:21] Does Linux also have the same issues with 64 bit vs 32 bit as windows: eg, driver incompatibilities, memory limits, software buods, etc? [22:22] It tells me some details [22:22] Except: most linux drivers come with the kernel, and have been ported to 64bit already [22:22] mrsteveman1: ok, and programs? [22:22] Except: nope its all good, java can be a pita but otherwise its great [22:22] that i should use... [22:22] Ok ill try 64 bit then. [22:22] Except, it used to... for the most part nowdays it can run 32 bit code in a wrapper if necessary [22:22] Except: apps are compiled for both 64bit and 32bit [22:23] for things that are in the main or restricted repos in ubuntu 64 bit should work fine [22:23] Except: Everything that isn't open source is a pita [22:23] Except: you can even run 32bit apps with ia32-libs [22:23] well, wrapper, libs, whatever.. some magic that lets me run both ;) [22:24] * dotblank calls for a census on 64bit users [22:24] xarus: that you should use what? [22:24] dotblank: runs flawless here [22:24] Hehe.. friend gave me a toadsted mobo, amongst a pile of other junk.. noticed it still had a CPU on it, so I've now upgraded my 1.8ghz sempron to a 2.2ghz athalon x2. [22:25] How can i use the ubuntu iso to run on virtualbox. [22:25] what is the site where I can paste ? [22:25] ActionParsnip1: here as well 2. [22:25] Sylar: download the ISO first got it? [22:25] yes [22:25] 64 bit here for the last few releases, no problems at all [22:25] Anyone got the gtx 275 to work yet? [22:25] do i have to put it on a cd? [22:25] Sylar: 8.10 or 8.04? and to run on virtualbox is to try, and then you put on hard disk later for real?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [22:25] Sylar: no virtualbox can use the ISO no need to put on CD [22:25] xarus: go to ubuntuforums.org, in section general help you can start new thread [22:25] Sylar, no just 'mount' the iso in virtualbox and it'll boot from it [22:26] i downloaded 8.10 [22:26] it's on my desktop === rodserling is now known as WillyWonka [22:26] xarus: let's try wat ubottu said [22:26] thank you man :) [22:26] how long till 9.04? about another week?

[22:27] Sylar: if you want to install it you will need to burn the iso then [22:27] cant wait for the release though, then I'll stop getting 600M of updates every day! [22:27] !jaunty > zcat[1] you probably would have found that yourself ;-) [22:27] zcat[1], please see my private message [22:27] i just want to test it out on a virtual machine first before i install it. [22:27] <3 updates [22:28] Hello [22:28] Sylar: then use vmware or virtualbox [22:28] I have two Ubuntu machines, and each cannot ping each other by the computername, but they can ping each other by IP. Is htis normal? [22:28] list [22:28] yes i have virtualbox but do i have to have it burned on a cd or can i use it off the desktop on windows [22:28] ok here goes... http://paste.ubuntu.com/149139/ [22:29] Sylar, yes you should be able to. [22:29] ok, how much ram should be given to this os [22:29] Roasted: unless that computer name was assigned by a dhcp server, other systems don't know about it [22:29] Sylar, 512mb min [22:29] $(channel).2009-04-11.log [22:29] Sylar: in virtualbox ubuntu will run fine at 512 [22:29] hostnames are local unless the dns server for a subnet knows about them [22:30] what if i only 512 on my system. [22:30] mrsteveman1 - Each computer is running DHCP but the computer name was put in manually by myself. I was just kind of surprised that Windows machines handle this yet Ubuntu to Ubuntu it can't ping by hostname like that. [22:30] running ubuntu in virtualbox isn't a very realistic evaluation; you're limited by the host os's performance, and ubuntu is running on 'virtualbox' hardware, not the real stuff, so you won't see any potential driver issues [22:30] martin I have posted on the site http://paste.ubuntu.com/149139/ [22:30] Sylar: id say best arould be 1gb but most poeple dont have that free [22:30] windows names are different, they use WINS which can be distributed, each computer in a subnet can actually ask others (with a broadcast) what ip belongs to a name [22:30] probably better to see how hardware support is by booting the live cd [22:30] n Antwort ”Purple IRC” von blacknred0 [22:30] dns is restricted to getting information from a single server [22:30] Sylar: you might not be able to run virtualbox with only 512 of ram [22:31] 512 of ram [22:31] what about vmware then? [22:31] mrsteveman1: any system (windows or linux can have multiple name servers) [22:31] sylar all virtualisation things wont run well with only 512 [22:31] same issue; virtualisation means you need enough ram to support both OSes [22:31] by the Konversation team” von bexamous [22:31] zcat[1]: you can get a feel of what the OS is about though [22:32] Sylar, It's not the application rather the load that virtualization puts on your host OS [22:32] dual boot tro try is great [22:32] actionparsnip1: i know [22:32] just shrink a partition [22:32] so best thing to do would be to upgrade my ram [22:32] first [22:32] Sylar: or wubi 8.10 and put 9.04 on for real later :) [22:32] (No route to host) [22:32] xarus: I saw; that is like help for gksudo, it thinks -h is for gksudo instead of shutdown [22:32] Sylar: that is 9.04 with Ext4, assuming it's stable enough now [22:32] whats wubi mean [22:32] !wubi | Sylar [22:32] Sylar: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [22:32] ActionParsnip1, well, kinda.. you get a feel for what it's like with windows hardware performance, minimal generic hardware support, and no 3d [22:33] xarus: try without parameter: gksudo shutdown now [22:33] coo [22:33] Sylar: it's a bit pointless partitining your hard disk for 8.10 now, with 9.04 just round the corner and all that [22:33] zcat[1]: true but you can install apps and stuff but i get your point [22:33] anyone have any clue as to why sound will just stop working in ubuntu? nothing will play or have sound. [22:33] Sylar: you can install 8.10 and when 9.04 comes out you can upgrade easily [22:33] conforming to RFC1459 and others, b [22:33] Modus +tncLfJ #ubuntu-unregged [22:33] Sylar: you can upgrade 8.10 to 9.04, but you can't get full Ext4 suppourt that way [22:34] Sylar: the file system yeah [22:34] i want to try it out first because i did the mistake of installing suse and it wasn't all to good [22:34] i heard good things about ubuntu though [22:34] Sylar: the extra speed of ext4 wouldn't isn't something not to install over [22:34] Sylar, run it off the live CD if all you want to do is try it out for a bit [22:34] megworld: says a reiserfs fan [22:34] Sylar: Ext4 is only available if you manually set up the partition and tell it to format as ext4 [22:35] Sylar ubuntu is good for beginers however it does also have a lot for the experanced user to do [22:35] i really wanted to use it on a virtualmachine instead of burning it on a cd [22:35] Sylar: you don't need to burn wubi to a CD [22:35] Sylar: you just download it [22:35] sprinkmeier, of course running it off the live cd also has drawbacks; you're limited in what you can add to the system, and performance is terrible [22:35] I've been trying to install virtualbox 2.1.4 on ubuntu 8.10 and I just can't seem to do it. I've been wondering if there's some kind of a conflict with these two. I've only been able to install virtualbox 2.0.4. I'm a newbie so maybe I'm just doing something wrong. [22:35] Sylar: you might be able to use a lighter gui in virtual machine but gnome will be a little heavy [22:35] Sylar: and I would recommend getting the wubi 8.04 version rather than the 8.10 version, but only, because you can then install KDE3 from the repo :) the older very stable desktop environment [22:35] zcat[1], worse than a VM where the host has 512M or RAM? perhaps.... [22:35] you might want to try xubuntu insted [22:36] Sylar: as well as KDE4, if you want to see all the main stuff, what I said ;) [22:36] Ned__: why do you need 2.1.4? [22:36] xarus: otherwise write script in texteditor; first line !#/bin/bash second line your command you used last days; save as .sh then in command entry for launcher fill in sh /path/to/file.sh === default is now known as bootup [22:36] martin [22:36] useer_, I don't know that I need it. I just thought it would be best because it's the latest version. [22:36] this one works gksudo shutdown now [22:36] Sylar, I'd agree with doing a wubi install. You don't need to burn a CD just install a virtual CD driver (daemon tools? alcohol120%?) and use wubi from there [22:36] Sylar: then you can get a 9.04 CD sorted out, and install that later on. 9.04 is released on April 23rd by the way [22:37] xarus: hurray, there you go [22:37] martinkoelewijn, xarus that's "#!/bin/bash" [22:37] thank you verry much :) [22:37] martin [22:37] Sylar: the irc channel #megworld has a good small amount of users which can help you get ubuntu running on little ram howver we will probabaly help you run it without gnome and use a lighter gui [22:37] Sylar: if your computer has no CD drive, then you can use deamontools in Windows yeah [22:37] can someone help me with sun virtualbox?????// [22:37] :) n sprink :) [22:37] when 9.04 is released, will i be able to just download it through update manager? [22:37] Sylar: don't join that channel [22:37] good night :) [22:37] jdwartal: yes [22:37] cool [22:37] megworld: you don't deserve to promote your channel here, because you troll this one for fun sometimes === julian_ is now known as _cMan [22:38] Sylar this channel has a lot of help and support but because megworld is smaller we can put more time and effort in researching and experementing with you === noname is now known as Guest59402 [22:38] * dotblank is scared of this process and cost him a system that had updated through 2 version [22:38] sebsebseb: megworld is not realted to any trolling which happens here [22:38] Why is it so that my usb devices wont be recognized by the system?? [22:38] megworld: lies [22:38] unko: we can help with virtualbox-ose ubuntu package, upstream support is in #virtualbox [22:38] or vbox [22:38] matamou, which device? [22:38] so it shouldn't be a problem if I can only install virtualbox 2.0.4 on my ubuntu 8.10? I want to run windows on it. [22:38] user_, ok thanksss [22:39] usb hard-drive, memory sticks etc. [22:39] Ned__: which windows? [22:39] usb mouse is recognized, though [22:39] Ned__, windows runs fine in virtualbox-ose, just no 3d or USB support is the main difference [22:39] sebsebseb: you might have had some bad experances with some users within megworld however that does not mean its the channels fault the indervidual users are to blame, if you want to argue this case feel free to pm me and please stay on topic [22:39] matamou, it's been ages since I've had any problems with things like that. which distro/version are you running? [22:39] user_, I prefer to try windows 7 [22:39] !ot | megworld [22:39] megworld: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [22:39] sprinkmeier: Ubuntu 8.10 intrepid [22:40] megworld: lol at you pretending to care about the #ubuntu rules [22:40] can someone assist me in adding a document launcher to the top panel? i can never seem to get it to work [22:40] sebsebseb: im not protending [22:40] matamou, OK... can you run "lsusb" before and after inserting the device? [22:40] I've been thinking maybe I should just stick with virtualbox 2.0.4 until I figure all this out [22:40] sebsebseb: may i pm you please ? [22:40] megworld: yep [22:40] zcat[1], ok thanks [22:41] Ned__: cant tell you from personal experience, but 204 should be fine for it. just stick with 204 for now to avoid getting in trouble [22:41] megworld, sebastien why not just squash this and help Sylar here in the channel together [22:41] thankyou sebsebseb [22:41] ok, what should i see? [22:41] weird, got through an entire install and ripped two audio CDs with this drive.. but now it's started making a buzzy sound and won't even boot the live CD [22:41] exodus_ms: yes i will im sorry i wasnt aware of the rule sebsebseb kindly pointed out [22:41] .. donated hardware.. yay [22:41] zcat[1]: try powering off for 10 mins or so [22:42] user_, ok I'll stick with 2.0.4 for now [22:42] Zcat how old is the drive? [22:42] nah, will replace the drive. I have spares, just none of the others are burners. [22:42] matamou, there should be a few extra lines. The imporant things are the vendor and product ID. You should be able to google for those (include "ubuntu" inthe search) to find ifg anyone else has had any problems. Also, check the last few lines of /var/log/messages to see what you system thinks of the new device [22:42] no idea. I get donated old computers and give them to kids [22:42] hi [22:43] zcat[1], freegeek type thing? [22:43] .. usually with xubuntu on them, but this one's high enough spec that I did the full ubuntu, compiz, emerald thing [22:43] hey people i just installed emifreq-applet, but i cant find the icon to run it [22:43] A just cause Zcat1 [22:43] how can i boot grub from grub? [22:43] yeah, working on freegeek.co.nz .. need a place other than my lounge room ;) [22:44] err freegeek.org.nz rather. registered the domain, no website there yet ;) [22:44] zcat[1], so are you officially a freegeek or becoming one? [22:44] sprinkmeier: Thanks, I found a couple of promising leads from google ! [22:44] hey people i just installed emifreq-applet, but i cant find the icon to run it [22:44] matamou, GIYF :-) [22:44] i want to grub the bootloader in another partition when i select a menu entry. it is possible? [22:44] jdu, becoming one. Pretty determined to get it all set up. [22:45] i want to boot the bootloader in another partition when i select a menu entry. it is possible? [22:45] vitopoma: just add the other OS boots to have 1 grub [22:45] right now it's just one geek with some free time [22:45] hey videos not running on mozilla linux [22:45] <[Valar]^> hi niggers [22:45] you can edit grub to boot from other things via /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:45] youtube [22:45] hey people i just installed emifreq-applet, but i cant find the icon to run it [22:46] zcat[1], awesome! we have here 4 regular volunteers but not yet officially freegeek [22:46] [Valar]^: keep is civil [22:46] i detect /b/ [22:46] anyone who uses foxyproxy? [22:46] peacewise: that is because you need flash, best way to get propritory codecs is install ubuntu-restricted-extras [22:46] what are the commands? [22:46] chanloader +1? [22:46] peacewise: check out medibuntu as well [22:46] chainloader +1? [22:47] makeactive? [22:47] chanloader + 1 would be for example windows [22:47] chainloader gives control to another boot loader, lie windows [22:47] s/lie/like === ryaxnb is now known as robert_the_bruce === robert_the_bruce is now known as ryaxnb [22:48] so can i do root (hdx, x) [22:48] anyone who uses foxyproxy?? [22:48] jdu, I also gotta figure out something to do with the waste other than piling it up in my garage .. fortunately we have eday once a year so at least it's getting disposed of properly [22:48] !patience|peacewise [22:48] peacewise: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [22:48] then chainloader +1 [22:48] then makeactive [22:48] and then boot? [22:48] zcat[1], we use a place in Indianapolis that uses prison labor... [22:49] vitopoma, I believe so. But you shouldn't have to chainload grub. [22:49] normally [22:49] I installed a compiz theme, how do i add it? [22:50] hello, how to downgrade ubuntu intrepid? [22:50] Raptor-Jesus, drag and drop it into themes and then select it. [22:50] hey people i just installed emifreq-applet, but i cant find the icon to run it [22:50] unitedpotsmokers: i dont beleve you can. [22:50] abhishekiitd: type alt + F2 and type the name of it [22:50] unitedpotsmokers, reinstall [22:50] how can i do? without chainload? [22:50] megworld: because i want to re-update, and save update packages... [22:50] vitopoma, explain the scenario again [22:51] vitopoma: sure but make sure the correct partition is referenced [22:51] are there any good touch type progarms on ubuntu? [22:51] does any one has one of those one line commands to add a pgp key from a launchpad repository? i need an example [22:51] darn, lost my nvidia drivers too.. 'ubuntu is starting in 320x240 resolution' ;) === Nightwalker_ is now known as Nightwalker- [22:51] unitedpotsmokers: i think you can only upgrade if you want to downgrade you will have to re-install [22:51] ok thanks guys... [22:52] megworld:but i run using that too [22:52] hey [22:52] megworld:but i cant* [22:52] Verruckter: hi [22:52] am I in the right channel to ask for help ^ [22:52] from where can i get ubuntu wallpapers [22:52] Verruckter: yep [22:52] oh, awesome [22:52] abhishekiitd: is there a error message ? [22:52] !asjk [22:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about asjk [22:52] !ask [22:52] 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. :-) [22:52] peacewise: google or www.gnome-look.org [22:52] vitopoma, probably you can use the whole hd# syntax to specify where the os is, and then you are done. === NeoBlaster872 is now known as NeoBlaster [22:53] megworld:could not open location emifreq-applet [22:53] are there any good touch type progarms on ubuntu? === felix_da_catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [22:53] caty, to learn on? [22:53] feature request; apt-get dist-downgrade ;) [22:53] jdu, yep [22:53] abhishekiitd: can you please go to terminal and type emifre and then press tab [22:53] caty, tuxtype may be good for a kid [22:53] Hello, I have a kind of strange question. I was using the internet when all of a sudden everything crashed, but when I logged out and logged back in everything worked, and has worked for about an hour. [22:54] it should give the name full name incase there is more to add to it. [22:54] jdu, any others [22:54] eilios: read dmesg [22:54] eilios: dmesg | less [22:54] tuxtype sucks, to be blunt. someone needs to do a decent set of lessons [22:54] i wanted to boot a boot loader in a partition (sdc3) (hd2, 2) of my USB drive from the bootloader present in my sda drive (hd0,0) [22:54] caty, I know there is a gnu project one gnutype? [22:54] eilios: that sounds like something wrong with Xorg [22:54] alright, heres my problem: I just install the nVidia drivers for my graphics card. That means I had to quit xserver (or something, I dont know much about ubuntu yet). now everything seems to have been successful, except for the fact that my resolution is very small and I cant change it in the resolution preferences. When I open the nvidia x server control panel, it tells me that Im not using the nVidia driver settings, and to resta [22:54] caty: gcompriz has a who set of educational programs [22:54] the program itself is good, but needs heaps more lessons seriously [22:54] The weird thing is I didn't use xfix [22:54] vitopoma: then add the hd2,2 entry to the other menu.list [22:55] It just started back up [22:55] megworld:when i oressed tab it changed to emifreqd [22:55] nightrid3r, ty [22:55] abhishekiitd: is that the program you where looking for ? sometims package names and the program name you run them by are different [22:55] are there any *nix programs comparable to LOIC in the repos? [22:56] how do i delete a directory even if it's not empty? === guest3673456 is now known as FlyingElectron [22:56] Is there any nice comand I can use to find out what brand of graphics card I have? (I'm on my moms comp and have no clue of the specs so I'd like to know :P) [22:56] megworld:the package name is emifreq applet, but how can i what is the program name to run by? [22:57] try doing alt + F2 and type what came up when you hit tab in terminal [22:57] RedMushroom: rm -rf [22:57] the problem is if there is a kernel upgrade in the distro i have in sdc, the menu.lst of sda isn't updated [22:57] Verruckter, try running: sudo nvidia-xconfig [22:57] I did, it tells me its unable to write in directory etc/X11 [22:57] megworld:nothing happened [22:58] megworld:not even an error message [22:58] when i try "sudo rmdir -p /etc/ftpuser" i get an error saying the directory's not empty. how do i correct this? [22:58] Does anybody know of an open source equivalent of low-orbit ion cannon? [22:58] only that of sdc is automatically updated [22:58] RedMushroom, sudo rm -rf /etc/ftpuser [22:58] RedMushroom: if you are SURE you want the folder removing (as well as all its contents) i can advise [22:58] * RedMushroom facepalms at Louis [22:59] zcat[1]: thanks [22:59] abhishekiitd: i think the program is running then [22:59] ActionParsnip1: yeah, i'm uninstalling proftpd and it left a few things behind [22:59] RedMushroom, just remember rm -rf never asks 'are you sure?' [22:59] RedMushroom: i'm actualy dead serious. pentesting purposes... [22:59] RedMushroom: yep, thats it, just make sure you dont need anything in the folder at all [22:59] i dont [22:59] megworld:even i think so, but i cant see it running! [22:59] i think ubuntu has a religious hate for being logged in as root, because every single instruction involves "sudo" before the command [22:59] i wonder if it'll run in wine [22:59] beware: its not hate, its smart [23:00] security is key! [23:00] heh [23:00] beware: it adds a tonne of security to your system, once you are setup you rarely need sudo [23:00] security is confusing :( [23:00] so if i don't change it manally sdc don't work after a kernel update [23:00] beware, there's always sudo -i if you really must have a rootshell.. just don't blame us if you fat-finger your system [23:00] Beware: That's because ubuntu is designed to be easy to use, and people who need to use easier to use distros(instead of something like gentoo) generally shouldn't be fooling around with root. [23:00] Verruckter: its easy, run as little as you can as root and you'll be ok [23:00] abhishekiitd: to check is a program is running go to terminal and type "ps aux | grep " [23:00] beware: you can keep a sudo'd terminal by sudo -i [23:00] how to install compiz through terminal i tried... sudo apt-get install compiz but it gave me sum administrator msg.. [23:01] im really a debian person. i got into ubuntu sideways, so to speak [23:01] Peace: Can you give us the message? [23:01] peacewise: what version of ubuntu are you running? compiz is included since hardy, i think... [23:01] peacewise: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [23:01] peacewise: ubuntu comes with compiz allready installed please go to system > preferances > apperiance and then the last tab [23:01] I ran nvidia-xconfig as sudo and it worked, but not I still cant access my nvidia x server config [23:01] so if i don't change it manally sdc don't boot after a kernel update [23:01] now* [23:02] megworld:i got some reply after using that command, but how can i see the program window [23:02] compiz is installed by default, just no way ofconfiguring it beyond the basic no/some/more effects [23:02] Verruckter: you run it with gksudo [23:02] why do you feel making a custom kernel is such a big deal? [23:02] Verru: It's in administration, are you admin? [23:02] yeah [23:02] I am [23:02] abhishekiitd: if you get more than two replys from it then its running [23:02] well heres the error I get word for word [23:02] how do i make myself the admin? [23:02] if you only get 1 its not [23:03] jdwarta1: sudo -i [23:03] because grub in sda doesn't know care about menu.lst in sdc [23:03] abhishekiitd: which reply will start with the user its running under [23:03] megworld:i got 6 replies, but where is the program window [23:03] jdwarta1: provided your user is a member of the admin group (the first account you create is) [23:03] Verruckter, what does it say when you run: gksudo nvidia-settings ? [23:03] You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration (jusr run nvidia-xconfig as root) and restart the x server [23:03] man i always ger thea [23:03] abhishekiitd: it could be a command line program or a underlieing one meaning there isnt one [23:03] Verruckter: did you install nvidia drivers? [23:03] yes, I did [23:04] it is for this reason i wanted chainload grub ;) [23:04] these stupid problems with kubuntu [23:04] it says it backed up the file [23:04] ActionParsnip1: idk.......i installed ubuntu about 5 days ago [23:04] ActionParsnip1: so i guess i am admin [23:04] xorg.conf [23:04] Verruckter: did you run sudo nvidia-xconfig then restart x server [23:04] uh [23:04] after an update i cant get a ui so to speak [23:04] how do you restart x server ? [23:04] jdwarta1: then its already done, use sudo and gksudo for admin tasks [23:04] ahhh well, I've managed to completely recover from my little screwup.. kernel and nvidia drivers all reinstalled, everything back to how it was.. now I have some dishes to do [23:04] what's the command to remove a user? [23:04] hello all [23:04] only 'terrminal' [23:04] is it /etc/init.d/gdm retart [23:04] jdwarta1: by admin i think you mean root you dont run as root as its unsafe but root in the terminal can be achived by sudo [23:04] Verruckter: ctrl+alt+backspace [23:04] hello zidan! [23:04] ah [23:04] ok then hold on [23:04] Verruckter, save [23:05] hi [23:05] hello zidan [23:05] megworld:ok maybe.thanks a lot! [23:05] is there a good free offline dictionary ? [23:05] Verruckter, save if you got anything [23:05] ActionParsnip1: ok....whenever i turn on terminal, the first thing that i do is make myself root [23:05] abhishekiitd: your welcome [23:05] and when i type kdm or plasma it says the packages is not installed [23:05] ActionParsnip1: saves time [23:05] jdwarta1: no, you can ruin ownership of files with that [23:05] jdwarta1: thats not advisable you only need to be root for particular commands [23:05] ActionParsnip1: i am the only user [23:05] jdwarta1: no, as you dont need full acces for day to day tasks do you [23:05] jdwarta1: terrible, terrible idea [23:05] ActionParsnip1: ok, ok [23:06] jdwarta1: you dont need root access for web browsing [23:06] ActionParsnip1: lol [23:06] equally you shouldnt run commands with sudo without knowing what they do [23:06] ok [23:06] s/with sudo// [23:06] jdwarta1: thats why root is disabled, so new users dont log onto it and wreck their systems and expose themselves to pain [23:06] As a matter of interest... what exactly is the difference between root and sudo besides the sudo timeout? [23:06] lol.......that's me [23:07] jdwarta1: as i said, once the system is setup the only real time you'll need it is for updates [23:07] ok [23:07] jdwarta1: linux allows you to shoot in your foot, root allows you to shoot off your leg, chose wisely [23:07] Louis: nothing sudo is intended to run indervidual commands [23:07] lol [23:07] megworld: that's what i figured. cool thanks! [23:08] why grub gives me error 2 when i try to chaiload it? [23:08] why grub gives me error 2 when i try to chainload it? [23:08] jdwarta1: there are some poeple around irc/forums and other places which seek to get you to run dangrous commands for this reason you only use root when you know what the command does [23:08] is root for getting permission [23:08] Hey, will my GeForce GO 6150 card work with Ubuntu? [23:08] !hardware [23:08] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [23:08] ultimatelifeform: yep as i use one [23:08] ActionParsnip1: what driver version? [23:08] a top tip is if the command has just / in it you should really request a secondry source to verify the command [23:08] ultimatelifeform: sudo apt-get instal nvidia-glx-180; sudo nvidia-xconfig [23:08] zidan: root can mess with all files onthe system [23:09] zidan: root gives you access to all files and directories in your installation. needless to say it is very dangerous. Use sudo instead [23:09] full premission [23:09] ActionParsnip1: Ok, with SUSE I have to compile it and everything. :( [23:09] just what i thought [23:09] And they're telling me that I can't do a one click install. [23:09] maybe usb hard disk is not supported in grub? [23:09] Louis, that's as if to say sudo will protect you from all things dangerous :) when it doesn;t. [23:09] ultimatelifeform: you can use the file from www.nvidia.com [23:09] ultimatelifeform: in suse [23:10] unop: right. i didn't mean to imply that... but if i'm not mistaken, sudo is considered to be preferable because of the timeout [23:10] Shouldn't Linux computers be able to ping one another by hostname?? I cannot figure out for the life of me why I can only ping by ip [23:10] sudo is just as dangrous as su [23:10] If I install windows 7 on virtualbox 2.0.4, then later upgrade to 2.1.4, is that going to be a problem? [23:11] aah [23:11] well, it seems to have worked [23:11] Ned__: shouldn't be i don't think [23:11] Roasted: do your nameservers know about the hostnames? [23:11] Louis, well, it's preferrable if you want to run something as another user (temporarily perhaps) - but it doesn't timeout when you do something like, sudo -i [23:11] Ned__, upgrade the guest additions, should be ok [23:11] ok thanks [23:11] except I still get that error when I try to launch the nvidia x server settings [23:11] i lost my 8.10(64) internet connection after i install vmware workstation 6.5 [23:11] but my resolution is fine now [23:11] unop: right, but for most purposes, sudo -i is a bad idea, isn't it/ [23:12] i uninstall the vmware but i still don't get back my internet connection [23:12] is anyone here running on a 64 bit version of linux [23:12] how can i troubleshoot it [23:12] Louis, is it? that's a relative disposition .. you do need it sometimes. but it's so convenient, you don't want to build a habit out of it. [23:12] i can ping the gateway fine but i cannot go out to the internet [23:13] !enter | wyn [23:13] wyn: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:13] is it possible chainload grub with grub? [23:13] unop: i think we're actually in agreement here =) sudo is preferable unless some third consideration makes sudo -i more convenient. [23:13] srry ubottu, i will do so to ur suggestion. a bit frustrated with the problem atm .... [23:13] cjb_ie - What do you mean? I havent dealt with namservers... [23:13] Verruckter, run: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf , then take a look under "Section "Device"" , what is the name of the Driver? [23:14] wyn: ubuntu is a bot [23:14] not ubuntu [23:14] ubottu* [23:14] yeh [23:14] Hello Room [23:14] :) [23:14] thanks eseven73 =] [23:14] hi i just installed ubuntu for the first time [23:14] hello Navaz [23:14] This is a Navaz a new user (couple of days) in Ubuntu [23:14] it says "nvidia" [23:14] can anybody give me some tips and hints [23:14] Hello Megworld. [23:14] well, i gave my respect the bot ... [23:14] that you did =] [23:14] Navaz: ok what do you want help with [23:15] It sounds interesting to have Ubuntu 8.10 in my laptop [23:15] Water, the first thing you should do is install what you want [23:15] lol [23:15] im running the updates now [23:15] Louis, well, you could say that. but i'm not in favour of the argument that sudo should be favoured over other means of becoming the superuser .. if that makes sense? [23:15] 287 of them [23:15] Everything is fine but the internet connection is the trouble for me [23:15] i got it on my laptop=) [23:15] If you are more of a gamer you should get Wine on the computer [23:15] running it on my laptop [23:15] If you like to chat get xchat [23:15] UT-300R2U USB is the Modem model [23:15] i have a nvidia card tho and the drivers wont download [23:15] Et cetera. [23:15] I am from India [23:15] Louis, it's off topic and against the channel's policy anyway .. [23:15] from the built in drivers applications [23:15] Does anyone have a good printer recommendation? After switching to Ubuntu my Lexmark printer stopped working and I'm in need of a new one. [23:15] I have an nvidia card too [23:15] Verruckter, then you are using the nvidia driver, I don't know what the nvidia-settings behaves that way, maybe a complete reboot? just guessing... [23:16] why* [23:16] unop: yeah i see what you're saying. I tend to be too careful anyway =) Anyway, we can leave it at that [23:16] its a geforce go 6150 i think [23:16] I use BSNL as my internet connection with UT-300R2U USB modem [23:16] Hmm [23:16] Try using envy [23:16] However, the connection is greyed out... [23:16] whats envy ? [23:16] the driver apps suggests a new driver [23:16] Any help would be greatly appreicatable. [23:16] !envy|watermouf [23:16] watermouf: EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia drivers, which can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" or "envyng-qt". It is NOT a supported method to install them; please only use it at your own risks if standard methods fail - See !nVidia [23:16] I have few documents but nothing helped me as such [23:16] yeah, well, when I rebooted xserver, I had that window prompt where it asked my to chose the driver according to the card series and the monitor model I had [23:16] but when i go to acitivate it starts to download and just cancels out [23:16] watermouf: that said, i use it on many machines === megworld is now known as xray7224 [23:16] I chose all of them carefully, I' [23:16] Hmm [23:16] That happens sometimes [23:17] sorry, i'll try to reboot* [23:17] The update fixed that for me [23:17] any idea why the standard method fails ? [23:17] I'm using xchat and I can't get the timestamp to work. I typed '/set stamp_text_format = %H:%M:%S' but nothing happens [23:17] Water [23:17] don't use spaces [23:17] I had that problem [23:17] The update fixed it [23:18] Any help guys? [23:18] thats what i figured [23:18] thought i would jump into a chatroom find some info [23:18] while its loading [23:18] i have never ran linux before [23:18] Ned__, works fine for me, whats happening on yours? [23:18] watermouf, Woo Woo! linux! [23:18] watermouf, you came to the right place [23:18] i still have xp on dual boot [23:18] Linux is where hopes and dreams come true! [23:19] but hopefully i can merge over to ubuntu [23:19] Watermouf, if you find yourself stressed out in the terminal type "apt-get moo" [23:19] Without quotations [23:19] fx3, nothing happens...no timestamp...that's the problem [23:19] watermouf, thats fine, most people do at first [23:19] can anyone assist on the best partition sizes for a new ubuntu server installation - just need some advice ? [23:19] thanks [23:19] watermouf, learn about virtualization so you can run multiple os at same time [23:19] the terminal seems to be the dos of ubuntu correct ? [23:19] watermouf: actually a lot of seasoned *nix users have a small windows partition... you just never know when you'll need to run some obscure software [23:19] !ask | Navaz [23:19] Navaz: 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. :-) [23:19] watermouf, yes sir, but better ;) [23:19] Ned__, /set stamp_log = on [23:19] server s [23:19] !cli | watermouf [23:19] watermouf: 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 [23:19] watermouf: kinda but terminal has a million times more power [23:20] it reminds me of logging into cisco routers [23:20] Ned__, eeeer hold on [23:20] jessicapa: maybe you can tell us a little more about what you're doing with the machine [23:20] Ned__, /set stamp_text = on [23:20] is there a difference between dvd-rw and dvd+rw in terms of bootable, longevity, or anything other than just ensuring your writer supports it? [23:20] Ned__, this isnt really an ubuntu specific question, however, ill let you off this time [23:20] watermouf: i think cisco uses a modifed unix os of sorts [23:20] fx3 ok...sorry [23:20] so is there a online refrence somebody could refer me too that could help me get famiralized with the terminal [23:20] im a dos expert lol [23:20] anyone here use mindmapping software [23:20] Ned__, but did that work for you? [23:20] freemind doesnt seem to do well in ubuntu [23:21] watermouf: softpanarama.org [23:21] fx3 no it didn't [23:21] watermouf: I like ss64.com/bash [23:21] how can i adjust partion sizes at this point? I would like to reduce the space alotted for XP and let ubuntu have more space [23:21] watermouf: has some great tutorials [23:21] thank u [23:21] clouder`grr, good question, I never could figure out whats the diff of dvd/cd + RW and dvd/cd -RW [23:21] Ned__, [23:21] both have 'rw' [23:21] watermouf: well you can google tutorials of basic terminal commands, but at the end of the day, the more you use the terminal (and look up specific commands), the more comfortable you'll get with it [23:21] how do i search for things i can install with sudo apt-get install? [23:21] clouder`grr: i think its a layout thing, 2 standards were released and both were taken equally, new drives can use both equally, neither is any better [23:21] Ned__, /set stamp_text = 1 [23:21] RedMushroom: apt-cache search [23:21] and is there a way for me to access my ntfs files from within ubuntu [23:21] ie, i know which program, just not what it's named in there [23:21] thanks [23:21] ActionParsnip1: alright thanks [23:22] !ntfs-3g | watermouf [23:22] watermouf: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [23:22] watermouf: ntfs partitions should be mountable [23:22] redmushro: apt-get list | grep THE_PACKAGE_YOU'RE_LOOKING_FOR [23:22] watermouf: yes [23:22] heh, didnt work. I still get that message and for some reason when I rebooted it sent me to that other window where you chose your driver and monitor settings [23:22] u guys are to helpful [23:22] we try =) [23:22] def saving this room for future [23:22] hi [23:22] watermouf: go to your home folder [23:22] fx3, that didn't work either...funny thing is, every time I type a command, I get a response saying '....set to...', as if the timestamp was set...but nothing happens [23:22] how can i find out the video card in my system ? [23:22] okay im in home [23:23] via shell [23:23] timeouter: lspci is a good start [23:23] timeouter: lspci | grep -i vga [23:23] watermouf: now in the tree, click file system [23:23] Ned__, check the stuff written when you type /set on its own [23:23] watermouf: then click host [23:23] fantastic [23:23] woohoo im a linux expert [23:23] watermouf: quite easy! [23:23] watermouf: lol [23:23] yeah i have to learn all the folders and stuff [23:24] guess it's a Radeon 8500 LE then [23:24] this reminds me a lot of os x [23:24] thanks ActionParsnip1 [23:24] directories* [23:24] In GParted it shows /dev/sda1 (where cough "vista" is and I assume boot) and then /dev/sda2/ as an extended file system then sda5 (jaunty beta fresh install) sda6 linux swap and sda7 (formatted to ext3) im trying to put the space that was sda7 (originally intrepid before formatting + supergrub restoring) into this partition [23:24] not folders [23:24] i have been a windows guys since 3.11 [23:24] ;) [23:24] how can i change the minimum required length for a password ? [23:24] watermouf: me 2 [23:24] never could get use to the mac [23:24] vista? what's vista? [23:24] watermouf: i love the mac [23:24] i ran ubuntu in vmware and decided i want it on [23:24] could it be a Radeon 9800 ? [23:24] jdwarta, right on ! [23:24] watermouf: then i used XP for 3 years [23:24] watermouf: jdwarta osx is based on bsd which is similar to linux [23:24] watermouf: now Ubuntu [23:24] i mean on the mac i double click the title bars to maximize and it does the opposite [23:25] Anyone using the ubuntu beta? Any comments on its stability? [23:25] its good [23:25] i dual boot because i need MS Office for work leave mah alone ! =P [23:25] but don't talk about it here [23:25] !jaunty [23:25] 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. [23:25] nightrid3r: i thought the only similarity was posix compliance? [23:25] i knew osx was linux based [23:25] eseven73: Thanks [23:25] !free [23:25] freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [23:25] Water: Ubuntu is a huge step up from mac. Mac focuses on making their system usable out of the box, but they don't let you configure your system. With linux you can configure nearly anything. [23:25] ubuntu is closer to osx than windows [23:25] Watermouf: If you want it to be more like windows try KDE [23:25] but has almost a perfect combination of the two [23:25] watermouf: check out windowshade x for mac [23:25] watermouf: maybe i have an advantage......a mac was my first computer [23:25] Louis: i mean look and feel [23:25] so just because i mentioned this was jaunty you guys wont help me extend the partition? [23:25] watermouf: GO MAC!!! [23:26] Freedom is best when its both free as in speech and free as in beer [23:26] nightrid3r: you mean with gnome? [23:26] I think osx is based on UNIX not Linux. least thats what ive always thought [23:26] watermouf: it will let you change the minimization behavior, including classic macos-style windowshade [23:26] i dunno the difference between unix or linux [23:26] os x is based on BSD [23:26] Louis: nuder the hood (cli, file structure ...) [23:26] how can i change the minimum required length for a password ? [23:26] so sorry for the wrong termonology [23:26] ok all i got a thought [23:26] jdwarta: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system) [23:26] see what you think [23:26] eilios, still, i hate the fact that all linux window managers try to impersonate windows, like, none that do what macs have, use of keyboard, the app windows, etc [23:26] In XP, you can ping other computers by hostname just fine. In Linux, I'm trying to ping another Linux computer on the network I cannot, yet pinging by IP works. Does Linux not support pinging by hostname or something??? [23:27] from what i understand linux/unix is just the terminal [23:27] ubuntu is like a fancy gui [23:27] am i correct [23:27] nope [23:27] my headphones don't work consistantly!! [23:27] Fx: I don't like KDE personally. [23:27] !ot | fx3 [23:27] fx3: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:27] that merely by its existence, free software allows its users the same freedoms even if they don't personally use it [23:27] what do you guys think? [23:27] like for example [23:27] where is my libnl file in ubuntu? [23:27] if people want to be free, they ARE just by the existence of free software [23:28] hi all [23:28] roasterd I can ping other computer by linux [23:28] Roasted: ive seen this, is your routers ip listed in /etc/resolv.conf [23:28] Roasted, in windows you are pinging by NetBIOS name, or something, so linux uses only propper DNS resolving. Computer names wont work in linux unless you run a DNS server [23:28] like, you can choose to exercise your freedom of speech, or not, but it's still there regardless [23:28] x0d: have u read about NExT? great little program [23:28] Hey guys I have a truecrypt volume (an entire partition) and it doesnt show up in ubuntu "Computer" where all the rest of the drives are. Howver when I made a new partition and then encrypted it with truecrypt this one does show up in ubuntu and windows. Any idea on how to make the partition not show up anywhere? thanks [23:28] fx3: most routers can perform a basic dns [23:28] roasted: what is your problem exactly? [23:28] Nextstep? [23:28] x0d: if Steve Jobs hadn't been so stuborn, thats what we would all be using instead of XP [23:29] Roasted, a quick fix would be to add the hosts you want to /etc/resolv.conf [23:29] ActionParsnip1, i have never got that to work, if you can explain it to Roasted and me i would be very glad =) [23:29] anyway i can turn off annoucnemnts for people entering and exiting this room [23:29] im using pigdin the default chat client [23:29] watermouf: good question [23:29] does anybody noticed that in epiphany browser you cant modify anything in about:config... [23:29] Roasted: fx3: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf [23:29] Hey Gang. Attempted to update LTS to LTS (via the net) and am having major difficulties. Can someone look at this paste with me and suggest a way to overcome these dependency failures?? [23:29] Roasted: go into your routers control panel and you should be able to add a hostname mapping [23:29] is anyone fmailiar with this bug [23:29] http://rafb.net/p/au0GRS14.html [23:29] Does anyone have a good printer recommendation? After switching to Ubuntu my Lexmark printer stopped working and I'm in need of a new one. [23:29] im trying to just read and keep up and the volume of people going and leaving is annoying [23:30] stupid battery... [23:30] Hey Gang. Attempted to update LTS to LTS (via the net) and am having major difficulties. Can someone look at this paste with me and suggest a way to overcome these dependency failures?? http://rafb.net/p/au0GRS14.html [23:30] this is linux tho right [23:30] Roasted: fx3: add a line nameserver 192.168.0.1 assuming thats your routers ip [23:30] (fam dingers, anyhow) [23:30] i was told we can customize anything [23:30] ActionParsnip1, ill pretend to read that as sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf [23:30] :P [23:30] fx3: whatever editor floats your boat [23:30] Water: Try Xchat [23:30] watermouf, yeah if your screen is small its hard to keep up [23:30] well im on a laptop running 800X600 cuz of my video driver situation [23:30] Xchat is the mIRC of cross-platform clients [23:31] watermouf: the linux bit is the kernel, the thing around it is a distribution of linux [23:31] ActionParsnip1, yea, got the line there from the start, anything else? [23:31] that was my other question any good website with database of linux software [23:31] fx3: that should do it [23:31] Xchat is free mind you on linux, and not on windows. [23:31] anyone use epiphany browser here? [23:31] I tried chatting on pidgin and didn't like it [23:31] i just dont want to install a ton of software off the bat [23:31] Ned__: thats like marmite, either love it or hate it [23:31] ActionParsnip1, hmm, perhaps my router is *too* basic ? [23:31] another question sorry [23:31] yum! [23:31] Chatzilla is good too. [23:32] (marmite hilight) [23:32] if i install at ton of software [23:32] and unistall [23:32] do they leave fingerprints [23:32] like windows unisntalls always do [23:32] ActionParsnip1 - I'm confused over something. Say I would set up a network of 2,000 Ubuntu machines. Essentially, unless I edited each one, I wouldn't be able to ping ANY of them without the IP. Right? [23:32] watermouf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:32] only in ~ [23:32] watermouf: no, not if you purge them [23:32] fx3: possibly, i use hosts files anyhoo, all my desktops are on static so it makes stuff fastter for resolving names [23:32] Water: That's a windows issue. [23:32] deany: what is the command-line code to install Xchat [23:32] watermouf: the only thing which i believe is left behind is configuration files. try "sudo apt-get remove --purge" [23:32] Had a brain fade how do I install Mythbuntu on a Ubuntu 8.10 desktop install [23:32] sorry! [23:32] sudo apt-get install xchat [23:32] watermouf: in fact if you autoremove they remote the package and the dependants [23:32] fx3: if your router is to basic you can use these nameservers 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 [23:32] ActionParsnip1, are there people in here that actually prefers chatting on IRC on pidgin to other clients? [23:32] they usually leave a .name in your home folder.. even with purge. [23:32] ActionParsnip1, ahh, fair enough, cant use that in my situation [23:32] sadly [23:32] Ned__: i do [23:33] Jd: Sudo apt-get install xchat [23:33] ActionParsnip1, I see [23:33] nightrid3r, what i ment is local area network resolution, like XP is able to do, not the whole internet DNS thing [23:33] but the unistalls arent as messy and windows ? where it leaves dll and other strange shit in 10 different folders [23:33] can I get my broadcom 43xx and nVidia graphics card working in Kubuntu 8.04? [23:33] watermouf, not at all [23:33] fx3: sorry, my bad [23:33] I would switch to ubuntu if iTunes worked on it [23:33] Ned__: i use about 7 of its other protocols so its nonesensical to use an extra app when the pidgin i use for the other chats does what i need for irc [23:33] Water: Try to watch the language, but that is not the case [23:33] watermouf, only talkin config files, for your particular user. [23:33] craig131_ have you tried songbird or amarok? [23:34] ActionParsnip1 - Was I correct? [23:34] +1 on Pidgin -- not bad for irc [23:34] easy to just rm -rf .name [23:34] watermouf, sometime programs leave configuration files that have been edited after installation, but thats not a problem since they arent executed or anything, most of them reside in the /etc folder [23:34] craig131_: I like amarok [23:34] watermouf: afaik, no. uninstalls are very clean in linux. this is because of shared libraries, as i understand it [23:34] hi everyone [23:35] Roasted: then you would need to edit your dhcp servers to give out the info for dns servers, you should also run a dns server to speed up name resolution [23:35] Hello. [23:35] aaronator: yo [23:35] * PhxMan needs help disabeling screensaver through a command line. Once I enter the screensaver program my computer locks "molecules" freezes everything [23:35] @louis: yea but I'd like to use the iTunes store [23:35] Guys, out of everyone here, Iam sure that some ppl here have played eve online, anyone here ever able to get the last version working here? [23:35] how's the support going today [23:35] RedWar: Try WINE [23:35] craig131_ aaah... you pay for music =) [23:35] ActionParsnip1 - I'm just confused over how XP does this out of the box but it seems like a lot of editing is needed JUST to enable Linux machines to ping one another by hostname, which I find kind of ridiculous. [23:35] aaronator, ask a question and we'll see ;) [23:36] ActionParsnip1, ok, sorry for assuming not many people like it [23:36] Roasted: why cant windows mount iso without the need for extra software [23:36] heh [23:36] Louis: Why do you prefer iTunes? MagnaTune is pretty good. [23:36] Elllod is that actually working for u? [23:36] i think i like pidgin better [23:36] so what are other popular linux distrubutions [23:36] Roasted: its a different OS with different quirks [23:36] or read PDF's [23:36] i have heard of redhat for years [23:36] Ned__: i love it [23:36] ActionParsnip1 - Yeah yeah, I understand that, but something like a simple networking option like PING you'd think would logically be set up already. [23:36] @louis haha yep I'm old fashioned [23:36] Ned__: assume nothing [23:36] eilios: i don't use itunes... [23:36] Roasted, XP uses a proprietary name resolution protocol on top of DNS, it is both slow and buggy, implementing it in linux would be a waste, Choose DNS [23:36] Roasted: as stated before, Windows is using WINS, not DNS, to resolve those computer names [23:36] Louis: Pardon, Craig. [23:36] Hey I have a weird problem and I do not even know how to really discribe it: Currently I am putting Ubuntu on a laptop of mine, and when it first installs (and in LiveCD) the desktop goes off the screen (like its too big to fit). So I found the proper resolution and set it to that; but now my screen has like 4 copies of itself in strips accross the screen, and there is lines through it [23:36] Linux does implement WINS, its part of samba [23:36] fx3: how can I upgrade the firmware on my scr331 smartcard reader without using a windows box [23:36] mrsteveeman1 - Ahh, I forgot about wins... [23:36] eilios! how dare you! =) [23:37] :( [23:37] "P [23:37] Oh dear, my typing is seriously off today [23:37] aaronator, ummm, no idea sorry =) [23:37] Does anyone know how to delete the preferences from screensaver or disable screen saver without opening the program? It locks my computer everytime it runs!!! [23:37] Lol [23:37] ActionParsnip1 - So more or less, if I had 2 thousand Ubuntu machines to set up, what would I have to do to enable each one to ping one another by hostname? [23:37] Roasted: maybe your system needs extra stuff to resolve the name, maybe your router is lacking something, who knows [23:37] Roasted: works fine here [23:37] ^^; [23:37] what does the error cannot configure (current status `config-files') mean to me? is it trying to tell me that some config files needs handled, somewhere? (no curses windows are open) [23:37] ActionParsnip1 - You have two Ubuntu machines on your LAN that can pign one another by hostname?? [23:38] Roasted: indeed [23:38] Everytime I have tried to install, it gets stuck [23:38] Roasted: if you had 2000 ubuntu machines to setup, you would probably be using a directory service, which would include identity management and a domain server [23:38] PhxMan: use top, check what process uses all your cpu and kill with "kill pid", pid being the pid number, the first number on the line [23:38] ActionParsnip1 - Well, that only enrages me. I have no idea what's messed up with my LAN then. Even my iBook cannot ping by hostname to my Ubuntu machines. [23:38] Roasted: i'd run a local dns server for anything more than 10 systems for name resolutions [23:38] Roasted, if you want this kind of functionality out of the box you should look at something like mDNS responder, or something alike. ZeroConf DNS or something [23:38] ActionParsnip1 - Are you running a DNS server now? Or do you just have a simple lan with a router? [23:39] Roasted: check in your router for dhcp clients and it should be listed [23:39] Afternoon folks [23:39] Hey Martinkoelewij. what is top? Once the screensaver starts I can't do anything like try to kill the program [23:39] can I get my nVidia card and Broadcom wireless working in Kubuntu 8.04? [23:39] Roasted: i have a dns on my fileserver, speeds up web browsing slightly [23:39] PhxMan: in Preferences > screensaver you can modify settings, or is that freezing? [23:39] Roasted: so everything i need is in there [23:39] ActionParsnip1 - I did, Im looking at my router's DHCP table right now. I can see all of the computers DHCP IP address and the computer name of each. Yet I CANNOT ping any of them on my Ubuntu machine, whether it's another Ubuntu computer or XP, but I CAN ping all of them via IP. [23:40] can I get my nVidia card and Broadcom wireless working in Kubuntu 8.04? [23:40] Roasted: then i dont know what to advise [23:40] Honestly, if someone could tell me simply what to call the screen doing what its doing.. because googling "weird screen resoultion" is a bit broad :P [23:40] I compiled a driver for a hauppauge card using V4L that was not in the ubuntu package list.. I now need to remove it.... I did a Make && Make Install... how would I go about uninstalling this driver and kernel modules? [23:40] martinkoelewijn: yes even that freezes.... [23:40] ultimatelifeform, i've used both, w/o issue in 8.04 and up [23:40] ultimatelifeform: sure, what broadcom chip? [23:40] ActionParsnip1 - Are you suggesting that if my router can pick up the computer hostnames + DHCP IP addresses then there's no reason why my Ubuntu computer cannot ping another computer on the LAN via hostname? [23:40] Roasted, i believe this is what you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToZeroconf [23:40] broadcom 43xx [23:40] !broadcom | ultimatelifeform [23:40] ultimatelifeform: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [23:40] martinkoelewijn: it's because it tries to start running "molecules" screen saver which must be too much for my PC to handle so I'm trying to disable it [23:41] kk [23:41] Roasted: if its in the router it should be translatable [23:41] Roasted: run hostname on the machine you are trying to ping with, if it doesn't know it is supposed to be part of a domain it won't know how to resolve a single hostname [23:41] Thanks guys. [23:41] does that make sense? [23:41] martinkoelewijn: [23:41] Going in to install now. [23:41] my headphones work sparaticly........help!! [23:41] PhxMan: folder /usr/lib/xscreensaver contains your screensavers. You can empty that. [23:41] I don't have that folder [23:41] Roasted: i'm not the best guy to ask as i like to configure my systems fully myself so everything is under control. i hate automagic stuff. [23:41] i've looked for it [23:41] i've messed up the permissions on my /etc/ directory, and don't know what to put into chmod to put them back to they way they're supposed to be [23:42] can anyone tell me please? [23:42] msg NickServ identify aniket2 [23:42] 8-| [23:42] ActionParsnip1, thats fine if you run 5 or so machines, when you got a massive network it becomes a headache =) === marko__ is now known as marko-_- [23:42] wrong window padawan, change your pw quick [23:42] RedMushroom: heres mine: http://pastebin.com/fd91d8e7 [23:43] martinkoelewijn: oh woops I do have that folder. I just can't delete anything (how do i get root permissions?) [23:43] RedMushroom: 755 on directories, 644 on files. [23:43] I'm still just kind of surprised that Ubuntu can't handle this out of the box. I thought something as simple as ping via hostname would work fine. I mean I can ping web sites by their domain name, I just can't ping local computers on my router, which is laughable and confusing. [23:43] RedMushroom, I believe /etc is 0755 [23:43] Roasted: maybe you just need some small extra config adding, log a bug [23:43] Roasted: the problem is in your router, not in ubuntu [23:43] PhxMan: you need root right for that, be careful with that though. Use gksudo nautilus. Better first try to find useful key in gconf editor [23:43] Roasted: loggin bugs gets things fixed [23:43] Is there a wine channel? [23:43] thanks. is there any way to specify how to make that work? [23:44] nightrid3r - it's a problem with my... router?? [23:44] Ello. Quite often, applications that are supposed to produce sound don't. Rebooting usually fixes the problem. No, it's not something silly; both mute controls are off, all three volume controls are turned up, and my headphones are not broken. [23:44] Roasted: well are you using your router for dns? [23:44] RedWar: #winehq [23:44] martinkoelewijn: I just switched to ubuntu from winXP so that made no sense to me :-) [23:44] jrib - Yes. My router shows all of the computer names and IPs of the DHCP clients on the network. [23:44] int he dHCP client table [23:44] PhxMan: wait up, I'm searching [23:44] Thanks Roasted. [23:44] Phx, you know how windows makes the first user "admin" and gives him right to do everything? [23:44] martinkoelewijn: thank you [23:44] RedMushroom: Actually, if you make them all 755 you'll be fine I think. [23:44] In Sound Preferences, there are various options, including ALSA and OSS; clicking "Test" on some of these produces no sound, and on the others it produces an error message. [23:44] Roasted: well then your router should be passing that info on [23:44] Roasted: meh, should work then. wfm [23:44] yes elios [23:45] i want to copy my entire linux filesystem to a backup drive, are there any speed differences between using cp and rsync? what would be the fastest tool to use in order to do this. [23:45] RedMushroom: chmod -R 755 /etc/* [23:45] The idea of linux is the admin is a seperate account that other users can use [23:45] Roasted: can you nslookup the name [23:45] Sudo basically tells root(admin) to do something [23:45] It keeps users from accidentally destroying their computer because of admin rights [23:45] Roasted, did you read the link i posted to you? mdns is installed by default and just needs enabling. please see if this is what you require [23:45] hmmm so can I sudo without using the terminal? Like can i enable that idea in a folder window? [23:45] hi there. how do I get the pkg manager to update to the newest ubuntu [23:45] RedMushroom, add sudo in front of that [23:45] !upgrade | whileimhere [23:45] how do I switch my system to icewm? [23:45] whileimhere: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [23:45] yup [23:45] gksudo is like that [23:46] how do u run that [23:46] Type gksudo nautilus [23:46] palomer: install icewm, log off, set session type to icewm, log on [23:46] how do I move icons/widgets around on my "taskbar" (panel?) [23:46] OK I just ran it [23:46] crap, sudo doesn't work anymore [23:46] jrib - So you are saying that sinc emy router is logging the information (host names, ip addresses) that my router should be working fine with Ubuntu pinging other computers on the LAN via hostname? [23:46] ActionParsnip1, will icewm automatically be added to the gdm options? [23:47] mrwes: depends how its installed, i'd imagine so [23:47] what's the default su password? [23:47] Where can I find the files that describe various keymaps, such as us_dvorak? [23:47] Roasted: I use my router as the dns server and it works that way yes [23:47] Roasted: if you nslookup the ubuntu hostname, does it work ok [23:47] !root | RedMushroom [23:47] RedMushroom: 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 [23:47] RedMushroom: boot a live CD and fix it. [23:47] hello [23:47] Roasted: your router/dhcp server needs to be sending your client machines a search domain [23:47] RedMushroom: there isnt one, use sudo -i instead [23:47] Hi again sorry those links for upgrading show me how to upgrade to 8.10 not the newest version I am at 8.10 [23:47] jason@skynet:~$ nslookup UbuntuFOGDesktop [23:47] Server: 68.87.75.194 [23:47] Address: 68.87.75.194#53 [23:47] ** server can't find UbuntuFOGDesktop: NXDOMAIN [23:47] jason@skynet:~$ [23:47] Roasted: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:47] ' [23:48] whileimhere: 8.10 is the newest version. [23:48] PhxMan: do ALT+F2, type gconf and click the app Configuration editor. On the left, open apps>gnome-screensaver and there you have your settings [23:48] Roasted: is that right? [23:48] I thought there was a 9.04 coming out [23:48] Roasted: what kind of router is this [23:48] whileimhere: yes, it's still in development [23:48] !jaunty | whileimhere [23:48] whileimhere: 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. [23:48] ActionParsnip1 - Can you hear me? [23:48] Roasted: can now [23:48] ActionParsnip1: i can't use sudo anymore because when i did chmod -R 775 on /etc/ it changed the permission on the program. grr. so that means i have to boot from the live cd and change the chmod again, doesnt it? [23:48] "Could not open location gconf" [23:49] The filters on these channels need to be changed. I cant tell you how many times I got banned in here for the most laughable reasons. [23:49] ANYWAY.. [23:49] Hello I'm having a slight problem for some reason when I'm using the ondemand setting in the CPU scaling governor the processor just stays at 1GHz all the time even when i open up nexuiz in insane quality and then I get really low fps [23:49] mrsteveman1 - Linksys WRT54G [23:49] RedMushroom: oh boy, boot to recovery root console and change the chmod / chown appropriately [23:49] martinkoelewijn what did i do wrong [23:49] Roasted: stock firmware? [23:49] Roasted: use pastbin then [23:49] Roasted: or dd-wrt/tomato? [23:49] mrsteveman1 - Yes. [23:49] ok [23:49] Roasted: the only way to get automatically banned is if you ctcp the channel [23:49] cchaos - I do not have any issues in other channels, only here with the nazi ruleset. Thanks though! [23:49] PhxMan: don't enter, click on the application name. Or in menu: applications > system tools > configuration editor [23:49] jrib - I've gotten banned many times, but I won't go into that. [23:50] Roasted: simple, if you are pasting more than 1 line, use pastebin [23:50] Roasted: there is a setting in there somewhere called domain name, or hostname [23:50] Roasted: same router as me [23:50] ActionParsnip1: lovely. *sigh* wonderful advice i got here today [23:50] ActionParsnip1 - I understand, I didn't know it would log as multiple lines. It's still ridiculous I got muted when I didn't intentionally try that. But, whatever. [23:50] Roasted: it needs to be part of the dhcp information your router hands out, otherwise typing a single hostname without a .com or anything after it won't be searchable [23:50] ActionParsnip1, same router here -- with Tomato of course :) [23:50] martinkoelewijn there is no configuration editor under system tools [23:50] !pastbin | Roasted [23:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastbin [23:50] !pastebin | Roasted [23:50] Roasted: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [23:50] RedMushroom: if you start messing with /etc you gotta know what you are doing [23:50] cchaos - I'm well aware of what pastebin is. But, AGAIN, thanks though! [23:50] ActionParsnip1: i just discovered that [23:51] mrsteveman1 - So you're saying when I ping I must have more tagged with it than the hostname itself? I.E. this computer is named "skynet"... it must be skynet + additional stuff? [23:51] RedMushroom: Boot a live CD and fix it from there. [23:51] Roasted: not as long as your router is handing out a domain name to all clients [23:51] martinkoelewijn: could it be under somewhere else? [23:51] roasted: it works the way you want it to as long as the router tells your clients what domain they are a part of [23:51] ActionParsnip1, nice to have puppylinux on a flash drive to fix system errors like messing with /etc :) [23:52] PhxMan: open terminal and run: gconf-editor [23:52] !help [23:52] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [23:52] Roasted: go to your routers config page, should be http://192.168.1.1 [23:52] Roasted: there should be a domain name box [23:52] PhxMan: you are under ubuntu and gnome right? or did I miss something [23:53] mrsteveman1 - my domain name is related to comcast. [23:53] I'm running to intrepid systems but they seem different. I'm trying to configure a vpn with the networm-manager openvpn plugin ... and that's quite the same, but not quite [23:53] martin: no you're right I just ran the editor [23:53] I have a feeling Ubottu's "!root" entry is inspired by Buddhism or something. [23:53] the controls that allow you to select files (to CA.crt, client.crt, client.key etc ) ... don't allow me to select the same kind of files [23:53] !root [23:53] 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 [23:53] PhxMan: ok, now apps > gnome-screensaver [23:53] got it [23:53] !ask [23:53] 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. :-) === eitroot is now known as jetftwi [23:54] Roasted: if the cable company requires a domain name for their system to be in there it could be more complicated [23:54] martin: can i just delete the key under themes??? [23:54] what could explain these discrepancies? [23:54] Roasted: the stock linksys firmware might not even hand out a search domain to dhcp clients [23:54] Roasted [23:54] mrsteveman1 - It must have been automatically generated. I did not put it in, and I was the one who set up this router. Comcast does not touch routers. [23:54] oops :) [23:54] Roasted: yes that was probably dhcp from upstream [23:54] Hiyas [23:54] !!! [23:55] * lepine just noticed that the logout menu now proposes IM status messages as well! [23:55] !hi | vidor [23:55] vidor: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:55] mrsteveman1 - Question. If I disable WINS on all of the computers in the house, would that basically disable the XP computers from pinging each other by hostname unless I had a DNS server? [23:55] PhxMan: don't know if that solves it. The cycle-delay key is minutes to wait before starting screensaver, set that very high [23:55] mrsteveman1: i think stock linksys firmware links dhcp and dns [23:55] mrsteveman1: doesn't* [23:55] nightrid3r: eg, lease and address and serve the dhcp hostname as an A record? Yes. [23:55] hmmm [23:55] how do you force quit in ubuntu? [23:56] how do I revert back to the Ubuntu gnome login screen instead of the kde login in screen [23:56] anybody know [23:56] st0k33 - for programs? [23:56] Roasted: if you disable WINS then windows file sharing will probably stop working [23:56] yeah, if my firefox is not responding [23:56] killall firefox [23:56] Roasted: but yes probably [23:56] PhxMan: sorry, idle-delay that is [23:56] or xkill, then click [23:56] st0k33 - I personally use xkill. Type xkill in termianl and click on the problematic application. [23:56] martinkoelewijn: I deleted the theme and it let me open the screensaver program [23:56] lepine: thx [23:56] martinkoelewijn: i was able to change the default screensaver - it workeD [23:56] ! [23:56] martinkoelewijn: thank you for your help [23:56] mrsteveman1 - Okay. I'm just trying to figure out if the Ubuntu thing with pinging and DNS is a Linux PROBLEM or if its something that would exist in Windows without WINS too. [23:57] Roasted: problem? eg, uber long waits between sending pings? [23:57] Roasted: its not an ubuntu problem, i can say for certain that if your router passes the search domain to all dhcp clients, and if those clients are named in the router config, pinging by hostname would work [23:57] PhxMan: idle_activation_enabled will toggle on / off screensaver. But if it works its ok [23:57] Roasted: i believe your router is not doing this though [23:58] Anyone have any ideas? [23:58] How can I send every keystroke to standard output, even when xterm is not focused? [23:58] Hello everybody! I was wondering if there was a way to remove currently installed packages that a download script does not contain? anybody know? [23:58] vidor, about? [23:58] Roasted: there is probably a way to check, perhaps open the network configuration on your ubuntu desktop, it should list a domain alongside the ip information [23:58] lepine - Long story short... I have 4 computers in front of me. Two Ubuntu desktops, Mac iBook laptop, and XP laptop. I cannot ping Ubuntu to Ubuntu via hostname, but I CAN ping via IP address. I've just been discussing with the others here as to why that is, and it seems the common consensus is I may have a DNS issue with my router, and the reason XP works is due to XP's usage of WINS. [23:58] mrsteveman1, will defining search in resolv.conf fix it? [23:58] Roasted: interesting ... [23:58] reverting back to the nice looking ubuntu gnome login in screen instead of the kde launch/login screen? [23:58] fx3: i'm not sure if thats a valid config option for resolv.conf but if it is, yes [23:59] Roasted: look into your dhcp.conf ... see if you're sending a hostname [23:59] mrsteveman1, lol, of course it is, its a local override for what youve been talking about [23:59] lepine - etc/dhcp.conf? In ubuntu? [23:59] if you arent ... your router won't be serving a dns record for it [23:59] Roasted: i think [23:59] fx3: ok then, try that :) [23:59] /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [23:59] Roasted, add a search domain in /etc/resolv.conf and see if it works [23:59] how do I get Java? is it not in base install?
