[01:31] Guest65975: well the part saying that the files lists are missing is what the problem is i think [01:31] Guest65975: but i am not sure why the files list would be missing [01:31] Is there an Ubuntu netinstall iso download? [01:31] Well, originally they were there. The only files missing were libtotem with respect to libecal [01:31] Guest65975: eg "dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `libtotem-plparser12'" [01:31] mattgyver83: can you help me? [01:32] So I moved the files to make them hidden (hoping that would solve the problem) [01:32] Guest65975: moved which files? [01:32] I can easily revert those changes. [01:32] davi, yes its on the web page, i once did a net install coz only cd 1 was working [01:32] BlackCoffee: the path of the py file is not what you need to refer to, just execi 1800 conkyForecast will do, that refers to the proper line. but check http://www.kaivalagi.com/node/2 this. I'm going to bed now. Have fun with conky; I like. [01:32] Ok so wheres it dumped that? [01:32] but that was redhat [01:32] libsnmp-base, libsnmp15, and libecall.2-7 === rww_ is now known as rww [01:32] Hi. I am putting some life into pam-pgsql (a postgreql module for pam). I would like to know if there is any mainteiner that would like to maintain this package for fedora or test it. [01:32] bLk-LaBeL, I need a very small iso image to burn in my mine CD [01:33] BlackCoffee: either do execi 1800 conkyForecast or do execi 1800 python /path/to/conkyforecast.py [01:33] Originally libetotem-plparser12 was the conflict file (with respect to libecall) [01:33] ooops, for ubuntu :) [01:33] Guest65975: what dir and what were the exact names of the files you moved? [01:33] Same names prepended by a period [01:33] Same directories [01:33] martinkoelewijn: that's what i was about to do [01:33] BlackCoffee: check the capitals, again, sigh [01:33] Guest65975: the ones under /var/cache/apt/archives ? [01:34] I can change those back and show you the output file (same error, minus those three file alerts) [01:34] martinkoelewijn: go to sleep already man,and thanks a lot dude [01:34] Guest65975: or something under /var/lib/dpkg/info/ ? [01:34] grzybowski: Ubuntu syncs it from Debian's repositories, so 1) the MOTU team in #ubuntu-motu is responsible for it in Ubuntu, 2) you might want to find a Debian maintainer instead. [01:34] Guest65975: btw never mess with the files in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ [01:34] Guest65975: well unless you know exactly what you are doing [01:34] BlackCoffee: cheers, I'll dream of you [01:34] LOL [01:34] Well, calc. The problem was those files were corrupted. [01:35] rww: ok, thanks [01:35] Guest65975: which dir did you move files from? [01:35] <^Ocean^> Do i need LVM for Hardware raid setups? [01:35] Just installed gparted and I cant find an icon or it [01:35] It originally have me a "newline" error and I checked the libtotem file and it was incomplete -- cut off [01:35] cchaos: it's in System -> Administration and it's called Partition Editor. Go figure. =P [01:35] The files are in the same directories, just renamed from file to .file [01:35] messing with files under /var/lib/dpkg/info/ can put your system into a state where you essentially will need to reinstall from scratch [01:35] I can revert those changes and show you the updated log [01:35] Guest65975: you never said which 'same directories' you are talking about [01:36] !enter | Guest65975 [01:36] Guest65975: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:36] */info [01:36] ryanprior: sorry I forgot what it was called. Found it [01:36] dpkg/info [01:36] Guest65975: it may be that your system got corrupted somehow... but yes you should move those files back the way they were [01:36] Alright, let me generate an updated log. [01:36] fuk [01:36] Thanks for your patience. [01:37] hello [01:37] i need help [01:37] Guest65975: depending on if you did anything else you may need to just reinstall... NEVER mess with /var/lib/dpkg/info unless you actually know what you are doing... in other words you know how to package debian packages at minimum :) [01:37] there are niggers in my yard [01:37] :ooo [01:37] is there an audio help channel for ubuntu? [01:38] * BlackCoffee thanks Odin for search/replace [01:38] Guest65975: messing in /var/lib/dpkg/info is nearly as bad as running the rm command with bad args (i think it is autoban so i can't actually say it) [01:38] bLk-LaBeL: This is the the best and only help channel. Ask away. =D [01:38] i been asking [01:38] is it because i'm a guest? [01:39] I cant get audio out of hdmi any ideas? [01:39] is this madwifi the same thing as ath5k ? [01:39] bLk-LaBeL: Of course, if you need help with ALSA, you can ask in #alsa and so on. [01:39] thank you [01:41] can anyone point me to aguide on how to dualboot xp and ubuntu using windows bootloader ? [01:42] I downloaded a GTK 2.x theme from gnome-look.org, but in appearances it says "correctly installed" but it doesn't show up in the list [01:43] hajmola, maybe it shows in the customise section [01:44] itai_, you're right. why doesn't it just show up as a thumbnail [01:44] hajmola, i dont understand gtk ...sorry [01:45] itai_ thanks anyways [01:45] calc: I reverted back to my original error. The output to apt-get autoremove is: http://pastebin.com/d6aba0eb3 [01:45] Erm, actually, that's the output to dpkg -i libecal [01:46] hajmola, in gnome-org there are many components ,some are shown in themes some in the customise. [01:47] Hey Guys I'm confused could someone help me mount a second HD? [01:47] in fstab [01:48] Davide-buntu, did you look in psychocats- there's an excellent tutorial [01:48] Guest65975: try purging libtotem-plparser12 [01:48] Guest65975: then reinstall [01:48] Guest65975: er then reinstall libtotem-plparser12 [01:48] Davide-buntu: what fs is the second hdd? [01:48] Will do -- thank you kindly for the suggestion [01:48] Guest65975: somehow libtotem-plparser12 package got corrupted after being installed [01:48] itai_, what's psychocats? [01:48] Guest65975: you aren't using ext4 or something similar to that are you? [01:49] netsurf3, its ext3 is that what you're asking? [01:49] your second hdd is ext3? [01:49] Davide-buntu, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index [01:49] Davide-buntu: Just mount /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdb1 or /dev/hda1 or /dev/hdb1 to a dir in media, if you wish [01:49] /media, that is [01:49] <^Ocean^> Any one know how to get a Hardware Raid stripe working under ubuntu, All the info i can find is years out of date and dont make any sense, I have a raid stripe drive i would like to access, linux see's it as 2 hard drives not one [01:50] guest41991, you still there? [01:50] Is there any way to customize different workspaces? [01:50] Davide-buntu, if you want to understand what you are doing - read the psychocat tutorial ,mount windows or mount linux (depends on what file system you are mounting) [01:50] Say, have workspace 2's desktop be based on another folder. [01:50] Or none at all. [01:50] well here's what I've done: I've created a directory /media/storage, then in fstab I've added: /dev/sdb1 /media/storage [01:50] Hey guys, how do i remove a recently installed .tar file?? [01:50] hi! [01:51] Shadow121: installed .tar file? [01:51] Davide-buntu: mount? [01:51] Shadow121: you don't install tar files you just extract them [01:51] can someone please help get this ath5k installed [01:51] Shadow121: so no way to uninstall them easily at least [01:51] Do i remove the files manually? [01:51] Shadow121: you could conceivably get the file list from the tar file and remove all of those files [01:51] calc: Sorry for being ignorant, but how would I'purge' the file libtotem*? [01:51] Shadow121: but if that tar file overwrote any files you won't know whether to remove them or not [01:51] Shadow121, sometimes it creates an auninstall file [01:51] sudo aptitude remove 'filename' ?' [01:52] Guest65975: dpkg --purge --force-depends blah [01:52] Ah, wonderful. Thank you kindly [01:52] it's right? [01:52] Guest65975: that will potentially leave the system in a incomplete state so you should try reinstalling the package immediately afterwards [01:52] Guest65975, well I hadn't put mount cause I was copying what the other partitions looked like... it doesnt say mount for them... [01:52] Guest65975, :D [01:52] calc: how can i make sure i got all the files? [01:52] Guest65975: dpkg --purge --force-depends will remove it regardless of if anything depends on it [01:53] Bah ha ha, the purge failed due to empty filename of libtotem-plparser2 [01:53] Shadow121: you can easily remove all files that are in the tar, but not necessarily know if you should remove them all (if the files are still needed) by just doing tar -t foo.tar | xargs rm [01:54] Hey guys, I'm trying to use Hulu.com for the first time on linux, it says I need Flash Player 9 or above, but I have the latest version (10.0.22.87-2) installed. Any suggestions? [01:54] im using a custom build but I dont know which version its based off of can someone tell me how to find out [01:54] Guest65975: make a backup of the file temporarily then try to fix the empty line and then do it again [01:54] calc: What if i no longer have the original .tar file? [01:54] sebsebseb: how do I disable beep song in ubuntu ?? [01:54] Shadow121: no way to know... its equivalent to on windows extracting a zip file randomly somewhere and expecting to know what to remove later [01:55] Shadow121: a tar file is not a package in any sense, its just a (t)ape (ar)chive [01:55] That's what I attempted to do initially -- but the file is incomplete. [01:55] does anyone know how i can make an adhoc connection using the bcm43xx drivers? Wifi works, but i cant connect adhoc. [01:55] I don't think it's a newline problem. [01:55] Shadow121: its the unix version of zip without compression, compression is handled separatley by gzip/bzip2/lzma [01:55] calc: So i should basically try to delete the files myself? Like the stuff in usr/lib and usr/bin? [01:56] Guest65975: well if you make the file just short but valid it should let you remove the package and then reinstalling will overwrite anything left on the system from the package [01:56] Shadow121: yea [01:56] anyone know why ubuntu doesn't come with audio settings that detect HDMI ?? [01:56] Shadow121: and installing stuff into /usr with tar files is not a good idea [01:57] Shadow121: so you probably should try not to do it in the future [01:57] I'll give that a try -- thanks [01:57] how do I disable beep song in ubuntu ?? [01:57] Shadow121: it could end up overwriting important files and mess up your system [01:57] calc: but when i do a "make install" thats where is goes. [01:57] behappy: system->preferences->sound->sounds [01:57] behappy, if you use HDMI you disable all sound alltogether [01:57] Shadow121: tell configure to use /usr/local are prefix [01:58] Shadow121: s/are/as/ [01:58] behappy: no idea [01:58] Shadow121: and yes doing make install into /usr is also a very bad idea [01:58] behappy: and maybe you should ask your questions to whole channel, rather than directly to someone [01:58] Shadow121: the only places non packaged files should go are into /opt of /usr/locla [01:58] is there supposed to be a .wgetrc file by default ? [01:58] er /usr/local [01:59] calc: I do make install while the file is on the desktop [01:59] * bLk-LaBeL wonders if anyone is using sound via HDMI [01:59] : thank you sebsebseb system->preferences->sound->sounds [01:59] behappy: no idea I put, well I would have tried what calc suggested [02:00] calc: How do i order the make install to install the files in a directory of my choice? [02:01] Shadow121: does the program you are running make install for have configure also? [02:01] :I'm sorry to have caused you some inconvenience [02:01] calc: It has a configure as well. [02:01] Shadow121: if so you tell it configure --prefix=/blah then make install knows to put it where you want it [02:01] behappy: no it's fine [02:01] Shadow121: which is what i already told you ~ 10m ago [02:01] 19:57 < calc> Shadow121: tell configure to use /usr/local are prefix [02:01] behappy: also you should learn to autocomplete properly, type first letters of someones name and press tab [02:01] hmm well 5min ago :) [02:02] calc: Can you give me an example of sending it to say your home folder [02:02] hi, does anyone here know how to mount the new HFS+ compressed images in ubuntu? [02:02] Shadow121: you can also use DESTDIR=blah make install if you want to install into a completely different area from what you told it for prefix (its used for packaging) [02:03] Shadow121: configure --prefix=/home/whateveryourhomediris/somedir [02:03] cool_nick12: Read the HFS+ documentation. Doing it on Ubuntu is probably the same as doing it on any other UNIX-like system. [02:03] ryanprior: ok thanks [02:03] calc: Ohhhh ok. Thanks alot!!! === iGmail is now known as Kelen [02:03] Shadow121: np [02:03] Any way to fix uneven letter spacing in printed pages in Firefox?

There are a lot of devices to choose from under Volume Control and a lot more options in preferences and I want to do it the fastest way possible. I'm not sure if my sound will even work either. [02:09] Kangarooo: And I was hoping for a bit more flexibility than just pie charts. [02:09] behappy: I told you how to autocomplete names here properly, because your putting < and > [02:09] Roanoke: ups www,piecolor.com and maybe in Open Office also? Yeah there should be chart maker [02:09] mike3292: from the cmd line try : speaker-test [02:10] Kangarooo: OK, I guess open office is the best. [02:10] Thanks. [02:10] Roanoke: also google docs [02:10] speaker-test -test sine [02:10] mike3292: If that doesn't work check your alsa conf [02:10] docs.google.com [02:10] sebastien, :wooooooow great I think that you talked about shell [02:11] Roanoke: you can probably find something in synapic and these sites will probably help you find something http://www.osalt.com http://www.linuxeq.com [02:11] sebastien, thank you [02:11] ULFfuntu: the second code you gave me output speaker-test 1.0.17, Invalid test type est.

[02:12] yeah maybe try speaker-test --help and go with that [02:12] sebsebseb: Synaptic returns an avalanche upon doing apt-cache search chart (most of which are unrelated) and those sites require knowledge of a similar windows app. I'll just go with open office, thanks though.

I want to get the VPN menu enabled even when there's no wireless or ethernet link [02:12] Guest65975: command not found [02:12] why if i want to remove Gnome-Help also Ubuntu-Desktop needs to be removeD? [02:13] mike3292: ok.. is alsa-base installed? [02:13] behappy: using someones name properly means the text goes red, and the client notifies them of the message [02:13] what's in linux-headers package, and can it be safely removed? [02:13] Roanoke: maybe Sribus it's a desktop publishing app [02:13] alsamixer? [02:13] ULFuntu: I'm not sure.

[02:26] Davide-buntu: smbmount [02:26] its like the partition is protected [02:26] ryanprior: fine, but transmission is downloading a file now and I want to see it [02:26] The Virtual Machine guest operating system is Windows, but that is irrelevant [02:26] sudo mount //none-xvlc1hi3pv/ /media/none ntfs-3g [02:27] is what I was using [02:27] I need to get it running right again x_x [02:27] terminal [02:27] transmission [02:27] Davide-buntu, not sure .... try putting it into fstab? [02:27] Davide-buntu: yeah, definitely not ntfs-3g, try smbmount [02:27] it says open_listening_port(9091): Address already in use [02:27] cannot open port 9091 [02:27] Davide-buntu, read the link I gave you -has detailed instructions [02:27] The Physical Drive in question is EXT3 formatted, and encrypted [02:27] Davide-buntu, smbmount is deprecated try mount -t cifs [02:27] itai_, ok checking it out [02:28] seige232: I highly doubt zeros were written to the disk [02:28] Davide-buntu: mount -t cifs -o credentials=/root/.smbpass //webshare/share /mnt/MEGADEATH [02:28] Davide-buntu, you need smbfs package for that [02:28] Or F's [02:28] So I'm sure you can get the data back [02:28] is there a way to disable certain devices from automounting in GNOME? [02:28] but you have to set up your credentials for a windows domain === BudLite is now known as []D[]D [02:28] Guest65975: I hope not, lol [02:28] n8wood: Not really a gnome problem [02:28] I have ubuntu loaded I am trying to install slakeware and I can not get fdisk to write a new table [02:29] ULFfuntu, I dont understand that how would you write it with my locations? sudo mount //none-xvlc1hi3pv/ /media/none [02:29] henry1: What disk are you using?

[02:29] Davide-buntu: ok mkdir /media/webshare [02:29] (i'm new!) [02:29] Guest65975: my goal is to recover the Overlay files that I lost, and to trick VMI into reinitializing the VMDK with the Overlay to recover the data [02:29] ok? [02:29] henry1: Are you trying to dual partition? [02:29] nope [02:29] total wipe out [02:30] (is this the right place for xubuntu installation problems help?) [02:30] Well, find out where the disk is: henry [02:30] Davide-buntu: is it a domain share ? [02:30] Type fdisk /dev/sda1 when you have the slack disk in [02:30] it say I only have read to the part table [02:30] monskee_, what the problem? [02:30] yes [02:30] henry, login as root when the slackware disk is in [02:30] I am [02:30] No password needed [02:30] true [02:30] ULFfuntu, it's a shared drive on MSHOME network [02:31] please can someone help? [02:31] And if you type fdisk /sda1 what does it say? [02:31] Davide-buntu: ok with a username/password or no? [02:31] its fdisk /dev/sda1 [02:31] ULFfuntu, no [02:31] ok [02:31] Davide-buntu, sudo mount -t cifs //none-xvlc1hi3pv/ /media/none [02:31] yeah [02:31] where is the transmission config file? [02:31] Righto, thanks. [02:31] Tis what I meant [02:31] What does it say? [02:31] Davide-buntu, wont even need credentials if its a winXP home you're sharing from [02:32] usser, it's winxp pro [02:32] Davide-buntu, actually [02:32] warcaptain, whats the problem? === Fraeon^ is now known as Fraeon [02:32] except I would be root: mount -t cifs -o //none-whatever/ /media/none [02:32] it says I cannot write that fsik is in read only mode [02:32] Davide-buntu, scratch that your command is inavlid anyhow [02:32] <{bosco}> idk [02:32] itai_: I started Web Interface by accident and now my GUI will not open! [02:32] fdisk [02:32] Well you're not writing anything [02:32] I assume it crashes when it starts [02:32] Davide-buntu, //none-whatever/ is missing a sharename [02:32] It should show you a read only partition table [02:32] true [02:32] why [02:32] If it doesn't, you're in the wrong drive [02:32] <{bosco}> henry1, the load gparted in a live cd [02:32] Davide-buntu, should be //none-whatever/sharename //mymachine/C for example [02:32] To make my question simple for this room, as I know I can get a little complex at times, what "Undelte" software do you all recommend? [02:32] usser, I guess it woudl be my D drive [02:32] it does I want to wipe it out [02:32] <[]D[]D> henry1, Ultimate Bood CD easiest to use. [02:32] If you press p it should print the partition table, is it the right drive you see? [02:32] Undelete** [02:32] brb < doing the dew [02:33] Davide-buntu, sudo mount -t cifs //none-xvlc1hi3pv/D /media/none [02:33] I need to write a new one [02:33] <[]D[]D> henry1, Ultimate Bood CD easiest to use.... [02:33] Yeah, you could use a rescue cd [02:33] And delete the partitions, create new partitions [02:33] yes I am on the rite drive [02:33] And then just run setup on the slack disk [02:33] itai_ any idea? [02:33] <[]D[]D> ^_^ [02:33] usser, ULFfuntu what do -t and -o do? [02:33] usser, ULFfuntu what do -t and -o do? and cifs [02:33] i have to push 2 times the "^" key to get a ^. how can i reduce this to 1? [02:33] warcaptain, web insterface? what does that mean? [02:34] interface [02:34] sorry [02:34] the web interface.. so you can control it remotely I suppose (clutch?) [02:34] Davide-buntu, -t cifs specifies filesystem of the share - cifs, -o tells mount that optional parameters follow [02:34] seige232: Undelete is not very possible with linux. [02:34] b [02:34] warcaptain, erm... can you explain in more details what you did? i dont understand [02:34] ok I will try to book on aubuntu cd and use that fdisk and if it does not work I am comming back here thanks guys [02:34] Davide-buntu, like -o user=root, pass=secure [02:34] Davide-buntu: t is for type, o is for options included [02:34] Roanoke: what would you recommend then? [02:34] Roanoke: Well, linux doesn't generically write 0's to the disk when it deletes [02:34] It just removes the file pointer [02:35] <[]D[]D> this is a VERY useful chan i will idle here often. [02:35] I clicked "Enable web interface" and it crashed.. will not restart now [02:35] :) [02:35] (And may possibly write over those bits later, sure) [02:35] <[]D[]D> remove and add again warcaptain ? [02:35] mount: wrong fs type,... [02:35] warcaptain, sorry, where did you click that? [02:35] seige232: I'm not sure of any good software for disk recovery [02:35] Davide-buntu, sudo apt-get install smbfs [02:35] Davide-buntu: is smbfs loaded up [02:35] Guest65975: Well, do you know of any undelete programs? I don't. And could you please change your name so it would be easier to respond? :P [02:35] Why cant I redo the parts with the slack cd is ubuntu protected [02:36] !undelete | Roanoke [02:36] Roanoke: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [02:36] itai_: in the preferences [02:36] Roanoke: Don't you love tab completing my GuestID? :o) [02:36] Ah. Yes. [02:36] * Guest65975 kids. [02:36] Sorry :o( [02:36] I sure do :P [02:36] <[]D[]D> Guest65975, why not use a regular nick? [02:36] is is a grub thing and a lilo thiing [02:36] I could. [02:36] Guest65975: Xchat sometimes picks the wrong one if there's like two options left. [02:36] Guest65975: Well, the software I use as a business should have done the trick... but it did not find what I was looking for. [02:36] I jumped on irc via emacs [02:37] For a temporary session [02:37] Wow. [02:37] []D[]D: Did not work [02:37] <[]D[]D> Roanoke, whats wrong? [02:37] warcaptain, preference of what [02:37] Guest65975: Emacs really is everything, including the kitchen sink. [02:37] for a local resolver on ubuntu, which do you guys prefer? bind9? [02:37] <[]D[]D> warcaptain, you used Add/Remove? [02:37] yes [02:37] anyone know how to get the "Removable Media" preference in Intrepid? [02:37] ... itai_: preferences for the program Transmissions?? [02:37] <[]D[]D> should have removed all preferences. [02:37] Tap: i use dnsmasq :) but it's just a tiny cacher dns proxy [02:37] usser, ULFfuntu, mount error: could not find target server.

I just want dns , cause my isp's dns sucks === mek` is now known as mek||malloc [02:38] I'm trying to set up a Eucalyptus server. According to this - http://eucalyptus.cs.ucsb.edu/wiki/EucalyptusPrerequisites_v1.4 - I need to run a server that can deliver or relay email messages to email addresses. I tried a few different things that I *think* fit the bill, but I can't get them to work (I'm testing by sending my GMail a message, which never gets received). Any suggestions on how to get around this? [02:38] ok I will go now and try this thing again [02:38] Davide-buntu, try by ip [02:38] hey all, is there any extremely easy to use app to convert and .img file to an .iso file?????????????? [02:38] Davide-buntu: ok ping that IP just to see connectivty... then adjust your host file [02:38] ljl i meant [02:38] Fricken dpkg [02:38] :) [02:38] ULFfuntu, how do I ping it? [02:39] zgmf-x42s: UltraIso [02:39] cmd-line: ping 192.162.0.100 (or whatever) [02:39] and then Cntrl-C to stop the pinging [02:39] Then check your arp cache [02:39] <[]D[]D> why don't people use Ubuntu Ultimate? [02:39] And figure out what his mac address is [02:39] X) [02:39] zgmf-x42s, I'm pretty sure IMGs are ISOs. Try renaming it and see if it works. [02:39] grrrr [02:39] even purge did not work [02:40] ULFfuntu, well I know there's connectivity cause I can browse to the folder from the file system [02:40] ok [02:40] ULFfuntu, I'm in there right now [02:40] IMG files correspond with the Clone-CD format. ISO files are single layered, rather than multi layered in the sense that Clone-CD Images are. [02:40] cant install or update anything because of this broken package.... ( E: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-14-generic: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1 ) [02:40] so what are trying to do, mount it at startup? [02:40] Why does dpkg think that one of my info files contains an empty filename [02:41] This is so frusterating. [02:41] ULFfuntu, yes because sometimes stupid windows no longer lets me browse to that location says "cannot mount" however I know there is still connectivity because if I play a "recent file" in the movie player from that location it still works [02:41] ULFfuntu, so I was hoping that with a startup mount I would be able to access it everytime no matter what [02:41] yeah a couple things [02:41] Renaming an *.IMG to the *.ISO format might not do it [02:41] anyone got time to help me with my fstab after a wubi install gone slightly wrong? [02:42] can i edit a file with from ssh putty? [02:42] seige232: ultraiso is not in the repositorites, is it third party? [02:42] Davide-buntu: you can modify your fstab for the automount at startup [02:42] aeonoris: ok ill try that, see if it works [02:42] it is a windows app, but it can run under Linux via Wine [02:42] just google that stuff [02:42] <[]D[]D> damn this chat scolls fast. [02:42] !weather font [02:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about weather font [02:42] <[]D[]D> no services on this net? [02:42] seige232: o... yah not looking for windows apps [02:43] =P [02:43] ULFfuntu, so I would just write what you had me write into fstab? [02:43] seige232: looking for linux only [02:43] EMKO1, yes, sudo gedit file.to.edit [02:43] []D[]D: Yes it does. I have xchat play a sound when I get a message with my name in it. It's a cowbell. [02:43] ULFfuntu, I've figured out how to edit fstab btw [02:43] ? cant install or update anything because of this broken package....

[03:06] -.- [03:06] the hardest part of HoneyWall was getting to the graphical menu. It always says "-bash: Menu: command not found " [03:06] How would I go about rebuilding dpgk without formatting? [03:06] hi everyone, i had mounted my hd but it shows nothing inside the hd, i am sure that i have lots of files in there. any leads? [03:06] Gaming4JC: like if you stick in a livecd to that routerbox that modem shows up? [03:06] Who's good with understanding Ubuntu's hostname process to help me with something quick? [03:06] turns out you gotta type "roo" as login, "honey", as pass, and then "su -" to get to that menu.... hmm [03:07] yes [03:07] the modem shows [03:07] ok [03:07] i've never done a modem in linux [03:07] but someday..

[03:08] anyone know how to use mogrify (imagemagick) to trim using a color at the bottom left of an image (instead of the top left, or whatever else it uses by default)?

[03:09] jdu, its ext3, it was previously a running ubuntu 8.10 [03:10] zerodevice, try cd /media/disk [03:10] jdu, cd/media/disk works [03:10] I may have to compile PPP, if it's not included.

[03:11] . /etc/ppp is a directory [03:11] jdu, its a ubuntu 8.10, then i messed up the permission thing and so everything doesnt work and i had to use the live cd to check and see if i can chmod the files back [03:11] thanks for link [03:11] /usr/share/ppp/scripts (whatever) [03:12] in compiz config manager: can i configure minimize effect in a way that the animation goes to the top instead to the bottom of the screen? [03:12] /etc/ppp [03:12] I am thinking of getting a wireless PCI adaptor for my desktop... It seems that Ubuntu only supports certain wireless adaptors.. Is there a list somewhere.... [03:12] !wireless | Ububegin [03:12] Ububegin: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:13] Ububegin, i'd go with intel chipsets, 3945 works for me [03:13] Ubuegin, it's a bit of work but you can even get linksys to work without to much effort. [03:13] jdu, here's the list http://paste.ubuntu.com/151807 [03:13] It uses Windows Native config files [03:13] Gaming4JC: so what happened? [03:14] zerodevice, that looks perfectly normal. [03:14] lubosz: I think I'm getting an error because VirtualBox is accessing the iphone while gnome is trying to get to it. [03:15] zerodevice, maybe I misunderstood the question? [03:15] ULFuntu: no pppd, pppconfig [03:15] I'm going to see what's in the folder tho [03:15] usser: this are the cards available in my home country.. http://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/priceguide/priceguide.php?id=350&filter=&sortby=name&pg=0 [03:15] If I install ubuntu 9.04 (beta), do I need re-install everything after oficial release? [03:15] n8wood: then maybe you have to do it manually. starting vbox [03:16] CrocoJet: 1) no 2) 9.04 questions in #ubuntu+1, not here === rachel is now known as Guest41752 [03:16] where would i set up a modem for dialup? [03:16] rww, ok, thanks [03:16] jdu, here's the list http://paste.ubuntu.com/151810 <--- the df shows the sda1 is there, but i can't cd into it. [03:16] semarang [03:16] lubosz: I also see the error when I do it manually :( Not sure what GNOME is trying to lock it for. [03:17] zerodevice, you shouldn't ever be able to cd into sda1 because sda1 is a defice file that represents your hard drive kind of like c: in windows [03:17] #semarang [03:17] Ububegin, google for the card + chipset it uses, your site doesnt seem to list that info [03:17] zerodevice, rather you can cd into the mount point which in this case is /media/disk [03:17] ULFuntu: http://oreilly.com/catalog/umppp/chapter/ch06.html on Configuring pppd I think it's working. [03:17] usser: hi, with a quick glance.. you can recommend me any product there.. then I will do further research or it... [03:18] well i was able to cd into the mounted sda1 yesterday to do chmod' [03:18] so I'll follow that tut for now. [03:18] thx [03:18] Ububegin, or go to wifi docs and see if the card is listed, its a tedious process, those pricks in online store dont ever, EVER list the chipset [03:18] ok, I've decided to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 (finally lol) but I want to make a backup with sbackup before proceeding. What folders will I need to backup exactly to revert it back to 8.04 if I need to? [03:18] jdu, well i was able to cd into the mounted sda1 yesterday to do chmod' [03:18] what is the best dock applauncher program? [03:18] Gaming4JC: y'know I haven't used a modem in ages :) [03:18] zerodevice, you did cd /dev/sda1 ? did you create a mount point called sda1? [03:18] Ububegin, hang on [03:18] usser: :) thanks... [03:19] jdu, well in the df, it shows /dev/sda1 at the 1st column, does that means i have it [03:19] zerodevice, can I see the output of df? === cellofel1ow is now known as cellofellow [03:19] Is there a way to set tap to click for my laptop's trackpad be right click instead of left click? [03:20] jdu, here's the list http://paste.ubuntu.com/151810 <--- the df shows the sda1 is there, but i can't cd into it. [03:20] ULFuntu: lol, yah modems are nastalgia. ;) [03:21] Gaming4JC: so who are connectying with? peoplePC [03:21] jdu, i think wat happen was the permission i messed up previously does not allow me to view the files and folders inside the sda1, so what do i do to view or change all the permission? [03:21] zerodevice, do you get an error message? [03:21] * AK_Dave remembers his first 300baud acoustic modem [03:22] 300 baud gawd [03:22] Just a general shout out... which PCI wireless adaptors , do you pple use.... === k is now known as Mora [03:22] how do I start or stop daemons in ubuntu? /etc.init.d/process or something? [03:22] jdu, no error msg. i try to create a folder there in the blank directory inside the mounted hd with gui, it says permission denied. [03:22] ULFuntu: Some no name brand ISP. $12 a month. I use Juno some too though. [03:23] bobgill, yes, /etc/init.d/ start [03:23] I was listening to an MP3 in Audacious, and it stopped playback abruptly. Now I can't play any sounds, regardless of what application I use - the sound isn't muted, the seek bar/play timers don't count up or anything. [03:23] jdu, i tried to boot into terminal with the hd itself and not the live cd, it seems that i cant do that as well. so i cant access to startx to change the permission' [03:23] man dialup [03:23] I've tried #/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart. [03:23] where to start [03:24] can someone help me with abuntu [03:24] ? [03:24] N_O_W, this is #ubuntu ;) [03:24] lol i mean [03:24] ubuntu [03:24] ULFfuntu: is ralink the chipset [03:25] yeah, about a $9 pci card from amazon [03:25] i need websites to download games [03:25] zerodevice, chmod -R u+r /media/disk would add read permissions to everything. but when I look at the output of ls -la I don't see any permission problems there. [03:25] Ububegin, this one seem it would work http://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/priceguide/info.php?cid=350&id=10089 [03:25] ULFfuntu: http://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/priceguide/priceguide.php?id=350&filter=&sortby=name&pg=0 ..is it here [03:25] Ububegin: haven't got a RTL-8185L to work with ubuntu though... but it works here in debian [03:26] N_O_W, you mean open source linux games? [03:26] I am having trouble installing Ubuntu. I've burnt myself a boot CD of the most recent version, however, when it comes time to pick a hard drive for the partition, none of my SATA drives show up. [03:26] Ububegin, sometimes they change revisions, put rev A and completely freaking change the chipset which totally breaks linux support [03:26] hey all [03:26] usser: does the 54 or 108 Mbs make a difference [03:26] Ububegin, so you gotta be careful, call them up and ask for exact model/revision number [03:26] I need to download all of a persons pictures on photobucket. Anyone know how this is possible? [03:26] jdu, in that case u can tell that the hd is mounted but i cant view all the files in there [03:26] Ububegin, 108mbps wont probably work in linux anyhow [03:27] Ububegin: those are all nice cards... i think a Broadcom chip is the most common for linux... could be wrong [03:27] yeah older is better [03:27] jdu, just wondering is there any permission that even root cannot access? [03:27] ULFuntu: It would have worked but pppd is not installed on this particular distro. Major bummer. [03:27] zerodevice, nope\ [03:27] ULFuntu: Thanks for help though. [03:27] N_O_W, Try http://www.happypenguin.org/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_gaming [03:27] Gaming4JC: well ... can you wget the ppdaemon? [03:28] what is the distro? [03:28] ULFuntu: I also wonder if I could figure out what modem DreamCast is. ttys0? xD [03:28] * Gaming4JC looks [03:28] zerodevice, sure if the file is owned by root and the permissions are 000 [03:28] SonOfDorn26, what happens if you start gparted. Do they show up? [03:28] I can wget the ppdaemon but I'm offline on the other box. [03:28] ULFuntu ^ [03:29] can't dial to get it [03:29] xD [03:29] oh... i know on Distrowatch there are plenty of routerbox distros like Vyyad or something\ [03:29] N_O_W, and http://www.linuxgames.com/ and http://whdb.com/2008/top-25-linux-games-for-2008/ [03:29] jdu, thats simply not true [03:29] jdu, root has access to anything regardless of the permissions [03:29] ty [03:29] usser, sorry, obviously I make mistakes. [03:29] usser, ULFfuntu : thanks for the insight... THough, i do wonder why linux doesnt do drivers for all PCI chipsets.... :S [03:30] well its the open-source model [03:30] jdu: Hold on, let me attempt it [03:30] like no one in charge :) [03:30] Ububegin, manufacturers dont release specs on their cards, half the drivers in linux are reversed engineered [03:30] like no one to pay for specs [03:30] yeah [03:30] so older is better compatiblity wise there [03:31] don't get a super-duper newish wireless card [03:31] usser, you're right. [03:31] zerodevice, no root can access everything. I feel dumn [03:31] jdu, :) [03:31] But why dont any manufacturers team up with Linux like they do with WIndows... [03:31] jdu: will I be able to run gparted while booted on a windows OS? [03:31] $$$ [03:31] jdu, i think something is funny. yesterday i mounted the hd and they are inside /media/disk/dev/sda1, but just u said, so i double check and noticed that the hd was mounted into /media/disk, and i try to view from the gui file browser, the files where not shown inside /media/disk [03:32] SonOfDorn26: try to burn the liveCD of gparted.. It is better, I feel [03:32] N_O_W: BZFlag, Torqs, Tux Racer, Tux Kart, just to mention a few. And if you for some reason need Windowz There's always http://www.winehq.org/ ;) [03:32] SonOfDorn26: not unless your trying to partition a different drive than what windows is running from [03:32] jdu, now. wat is the most common default chmod value for all files on ubuntu? 755? 644? 777? [03:32] zerodevice: 755 [03:32] Ah, this is an endeavor for another night. I'm out of blank disks. [03:32] Ububegin: Market share... People are still afraid of penguins although Dell already has some, as well as system76 zareason etc. [03:32] Ubebegin, thanks [03:32] Ububegin, thanks [03:32] SonOfDorn26, no [03:33] Oh? [03:33] what is the chmod value for "home" folder? [03:33] SonOfDorn26: Or use systemRescueCD [03:33] home -> 644 or 755? [03:34] hy... how can i get the resolution of a JPG image from the command line [03:34] 755 [03:34] alright, im looking for a new gfx card, and i dont want to waist money, i need AGP, this board only has two PCI slots and there used, im looking at the GeForce 9800 GT, is this a good idea, or not? [03:34] zerodevice: I think 755 there as well [03:34] damn hell yeah [03:34] go xfx Nvidia.. cheap [03:34] won't stat show the octals? [03:35] gartral: just stay away from ATI... ATI and Ubuntu are enemies [03:35] ok, becoz i made a mistake last time and i had to chmod the entire hd into 755 now. so, which other folder or files i should change the mod again apart form 755? [03:35] heh [03:35] gartral: 9800GT in AGP seems pretty overkill to me... CPU? RAM? [03:35] ULFfuntu: i have a GeForce 2 MX 420 right now... SecondLife runs horrible [03:35] xchat runs ok :) [03:35] can someone help me fix my wifi? [03:36] hold on, getting the ISO [03:36] hi where can i find a comparison between mac and pc?

[03:52] Gaming4JC: yosii: I was just hearing you saying things about no wired net (bug)... which I had in Ibex as well, dunno if I heard wrong? [03:52] stupendo44, what was the mv command? [03:52] i added the new intrepid-cafuego thing to the source file like the guide told me to do... do i need to restart or something? [03:52] stupendo44, use find [03:52] mmmyummytreats: just for the heck of it try another livecd.. another distro... verify that it doesn't hang with that [03:52] ps thank you ULF! [03:53] ulfusomeone asked for the boards name, who was it, and how do i find that? [03:53] np [03:53] stupendo44, was the second argument a directory? [03:53] not having that problem [03:53] I think the command was "mv *.txt *." I'm pretty sure. Then it showed a newline with a ">" like it was expecting more, and I just hit enter [03:53] mmmyummytreats: bc nics should work fine [03:53] have you tried ndiswrapper mmmyummytreats? [03:53] someone asked for the boards name, who was it, and how do i find that? gartral: i asked... its written on the board :( [03:53] n1, i was told that i don't need ndswrapper, i have intrepid [03:53] find and locate won't find the file [03:53] nikin: no its not [03:53] i thought it should be fine [03:53] where did lenorad go?

The headset itself works fine on Skype due to the fact that I can tell Skype which device to use in the options menu, so it isn't a hardware/drivers problem.... Anybody have any ideas? [03:53] ULF ummm i don't have another livecd... is there any easier way to get to the bottom fo this? [03:54] i mean like i'm definitely wililng to try [03:54] brb, this driver screwed with my sound, rebooting [03:54] nikin: the board just says "ASUS Dragon 1 series [03:54] i'm no expert man was justy asking, cus i've read it helps with nic problems [03:54] gartral: ok let me google around a bit [03:54] mmmyummytreats: well ok... have you tried reinstall? [03:54] anyone got any ideas on the music share?

I think the second argument was '*.\' [03:55] um to be honest ULF i'm super nooby and installed using wubi and i'm kinda afraid but i guess i can try [03:55] nikin: i really should upgrade, but im flat broke [03:55] jdu, what would the backslash do? [03:55] yeah i've had almost no problems with drivers so far [03:55] mmmyummytreats: lemme think abit [03:55] ok thanks [03:55] mmmyummytreats: what happens exactly [03:55] i'm just not sure why it would like, have never ever worked from the beginning [03:55] um [03:55] what has always happened [03:55] is that i go to system--> hardware drivers [03:55] stupendo44, backslashes allow escape characters, it expected something to come after it. [03:55] and it says [03:56] mmmyummytreats: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:56] O.o does noone here share music across profiles?

I restarted, and it fixed the problem for about five minutes. How do I fix this? [03:56] stupendo44, it would be better to use rename [03:56] jdu, but since I didn't enter anything, what happened? [03:56] i'm haing a problem sharing music across profiles [03:56] i dunno [03:56] ULf: sorry hang on about to tell you [03:56] N1gh7m4r3, create a group, add all users to that common group, sudo chown yourself:commongroupname -R /path/to/folder/with/music [03:57] yeah [03:57] I have two suspicious lines in my /etc/passwd I haven't seen before.

[03:58] ? [03:58] jdu, well I wasn't root, so it could copy to root [03:58] jdu, I thought I could use 'mv *.txt *' to remove the .txt extension [03:59] N1gh7m4r3, oh almost forgot edit /etc/profile and change umask from 022 to 002 [03:59] anyone use ubuntu jaunty 9.x? [03:59] stupendo44, that doesn't work. It move all files ending with .txt into all directories. [03:59] im wondering why i cant drag and drop on the desktop? [03:59] wall-e_: questions on jaunty are to be asked in #ubuntu+1 [03:59] jdu, well, it gave me an error [03:59] gartral: I don't know. How do I check?

I'm still trying to find where this file went [04:01] stupendo44, that command will strip .txt from all files in current directory ending with .txt [04:01] why cant i drag drop on desktop [04:01] or rightclick [04:01] im runing a ubuntu based distro..if i install the ubuntu-desktop package.....is it still the distro i installed or ubuntu [04:01] ULFfuntu, i've been waiting literally this whole time to reproduce what happens but my hardware drivers window is taking literally five minutes to do "searching for available drivers..." [04:01] nikin: its disabled at a hardware level though, why is it still allocating ram?!? [04:01] stupendo44, have you looked in directories? [04:01] FloridaGuy: askt he people that put together your distro.

[04:02] gartral: i didnt find anything on googlebout your board. idont know why it is allocating... i think thosethings depend on chipset [04:02] jdu, it definitely doesn't have the same filename as before [04:02] stupendo44, you said you put . at the beginning. try ls -a [04:02] FloridaGuy: if u installed xubuntu and will install Ubuntu-Desktop then then u will have ubuntu.. Then if u install Xubuntu-Desktop you wont have Ubuntu youll get Xubungu [04:02] FloridaGuy, it sounds like a little of both. [04:02] gartral: any nvidia past 5000 series [04:02] histo_: if i could find a irc channel for ubuntu ultimate edition i would [04:02] gartral: decent !=AGP [04:02] jdu, I'm trying to reproduce it now to see if I can see where it went [04:02] jdu, trying it on files I DON't care about [04:03] gartral: i mean i had a Geforce6600 with a 2.0 Celeron and 1 gig RAM... and most games where CPU limited [04:03] how long do you think that it would take a beginner to learn how to use ubuntu? [04:03] FloridaGuy: ouh... then i think you will everything what is installed and Ubuntu [04:03] tgr: :0 [04:03] ulffuntu: nothing hapened. [04:03] jdu, I tried that. There no new . files [04:04] hi everyone, since i've accidently chmod all my entire files and folders in the hd into 755 on ubuntu 8.04 what will happen if i put in the live cd 8.10 to install on top of it. will all my files be gone? will the new installed 8.10 resets the permission back to default? [04:04] tgr: not that long for the basics, if someone such as myself helps you with that [04:04] mmmyummytreats: ok, if you just do an lsmod and look for a bcm... [04:04] ULF: just to clarify, i typed "lsmod | grep BCM4309" is that what you wanted? [04:04] gartral: even the 6600 GT is not an AGP card originaly... the chip is PCIE and it has a chipon board that transltes to AGP. [04:04] yeah [04:05] Kangarooo: it would still be the ultimate edition then plus the ubuntu desktop [04:05] stupendo44, and not in other directories either? [04:05] My sound suddenly stopped working. I can't hear anything. I restarted, and it fixed the problem for about five minutes. How do I fix this? [04:05] CheesyWeasel: what did you load before it went bonkers? [04:05] tgr: also this is a start http://www.ubuntuguide.org [04:05] ULFfuntu: YouTube. [04:06] ULFfuntu: It worked for a video, then didn't for the next. [04:06] ULF: nothign happened when i typed lsmod | grep BCM4309 but i typed lsmod and i see b43legacy several times. don't think i see BCM.... [04:06] CheesyWeasel: ok has YouTube workd ok on this rig before? [04:06] ULFfuntu: Many times. [04:06] mmmyummytreats: ok good [04:06] CheesyWeasel: ok good [04:06] CheesyWeasel: ok restart and see if it goes out agaoin [04:06] gartral: but it depends on the pourpose anyhow... if you want to run second life... just get a 6600 or an 5700 ... [04:06] does new ubuntu installation 8.10 resets and fix any problems without removing my data files? [04:07] stupendo44, check your other files. did you overwrite them? [04:07] ULFfuntu: I already did. It fixes the problem temporarily. [04:07] mmmyummytreats: ok verify what is the chipset on this wireless nic for sure [04:07] jdu, no there was only one other one, and it's fine. hold on, I think I'm onto something [04:07] CheesyWeasel: ok, verify that your flash is uptodate [04:07] zerodevice: reinstalling normaly doesnt touch your peronal files unless you format the drive... but backing up is allwas the first and only best sure solution [04:08] jdu, I think I might have done '.*\' as the second parameter. I just did it again and the files disappeared and I got an error [04:08] ULFfuntu: Well, after the sound died, all my sound is dead. I can't hear anything, not mp3s, not oggs, not video. Would flash kill all that?

[04:08] ULFfuntu how specifically do i do that? i'm sorry. [04:08] i don't think [04:08] stupendo44, what was the error? [04:08] mv: cannot move `.' to `../.': Device or resource busy [04:09] mmmyummytreats: ok this nic for sure is BCM(whatever) [04:09] nikin. does reinstallation fix the system's permission problem? coz i chmod all the entired file to 777 and obviously thats not a good idea, but only that i can access to the gui normally [04:09] jdu, but that must have been after it already moved the files to where it was going to [04:09] stupendo44, ah, there is a dir called .. an it tried to move into it. [04:09] mmmyummytreats: because BCM is very solid in linux IMHO [04:09] ULFfuntu i can paste (or whatever pasting thing you guys do here) my lspci if you want [04:09] jdu, but if it failed on that it never would have deleted them would it?

I can't hear anything. I restarted, and it fixed the problem for about five minutes. How do I fix this? [04:40] disappearedng, oh the simple solution .... [04:40] jdu: ? [04:40] hey guys [04:41] disappearedng, oh installing it is much simpler and obvious rather than a missing symlink though both are possible causes [04:41] CheesyWe1sel: i'd suggest you run sudo alsaconf [04:41] i got a question: i want to write/compile C++ on ubuntu what is the best / easiest but pretty efficient way of doing so?

[04:51] stupendo44, I believe [04:51] emerson, 'sudo apt-get install ' [04:51] jdu, you might be right [04:52] for you, i guess it's 'sudo apt-get install fpc' [04:52] jdu, you're right, it does [04:52] jdu, next question. Is there any way to recover from this [04:52] cwillu: i do have a /etc/pure-ftpd, but there're no .conf files in it. there's a dir named /conf, but it just has unrelated files in it [04:52] stupendo44, no [04:52] stupendo44, unless you use a different filesystem [04:52] jdu, etx3 [04:53] stupendo44, no [04:53] stupendo44, If you are worried about deleting files, add alias mv='mv -i' to .bashrc [04:53] i'm wondering if there was some sort of command i was supposed to run after installing pure-ftpd to get it to setup some files for itself, or something. [04:53] jdu, does the mv command physically overwrite the location on the drive? [04:53] stupendo44, it will prompt you in the future before you do [04:53] Hammerjak: yeah man it works I think sorry I'm not a programmer so that's why I didn't understoot that the first place. [04:54] jdu, well it's not like I delete things often... :) [04:54] no problem emerson :) [04:54] any ideas? [04:54] stupendo44, maybe not so perhaps it is recoverable but I wouldn't guaranty it. [04:54] stupendo44, at any rate there is no undelete with ext3 === ebaird_ is now known as ebaird [04:55] stupendo44, for that use a filesystem that supports snapshots [04:55] I am using acidrip to try and rip dvds, but it won't let me rip to the 2nd HDD I have installed, how do I make it do that? [04:55] stupendo44, or back up [04:55] jdu, that would really stink, but I guess it's reality [04:56] jdu, I had just spent an 2 hours writing this. I used ccrypt to encrypt it, but wanted to take the cpt extension off. Now look what I did... :) Guess I'll have to try to remember the last couple hours... [04:56] stupendo44, some filesystems like ufs support taking a snapshot. You can then mount the snapshot and see the filesystem as it was then. [04:56] i'm wondering if there was some sort of command i was supposed to run after installing pure-ftpd to get it to setup some files for itself, or something. [04:56] jdu: you still here? I restarted, and realize that when I plugin my usb, it says: you don't have the permission to mount this volume: [04:56] oops [04:57] disappearedng, after it tries to automount? [04:57] RedMushroom, no [04:57] stupendo44, sorry... I hate it when that happens. [04:57] I think thats because I added an entry into my /etc/fstab [04:57] disappearedng, that is case, add user as an option [04:58] disappearedng, or users for everyone [04:58] hm.. does that introudce a security breach? [04:58] *the [04:58] disappearedng, is it a personal computer? [04:59] disappearedng, user doesn't really but users might. With user, if the the stick is plugged in, anyone can mount it. [05:00] disappearedng, I doubt is a problem [05:00] disappearedng, if you are really worried about it then you can mount it as root which will require you to do something like: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/point === Marcham89 is now known as Marcham89[A] [05:01] * Marcham89[A] is now away - Reason : busy [05:01] I am using acidrip to try and rip dvds, but it won't let me rip to the 2nd HDD I have installed, how do I make it do that?

However it is not open-source [05:10] monskee, kill -9 [05:10] ok I had stability issues with a flash plugin [05:10] thanks! [05:10] so I uninstalled, deleted the arhived .debs and reinstalled, same thing [05:10] I think it was Adobe [05:10] in the terminal? [05:11] says firefox is not installed and I can install bu apt-get firefox-3.0 [05:11] wacka_mole: as in the move command? I mean I can copy all the files over by mounting the drive (sda1 in this case) but I was hoping to get the boot stuff/etc as well and I can't figure out how to mount those, if it's even possible [05:11] monskee, yes [05:11] Cutter are you on 64 bit? [05:11] yes [05:12] celthunder, ok.I will try it. Maybe the problem is that I have Win system primary partiton and Ubntu on Extended. [05:12] celtthunder am i being silly? i typed in kill -9 and kill -9 and it didn't work! [05:12] cubays yes that would do it [05:12] monskee, lol type ps and find the pid of the process and substitute the pid for the part [05:12] noodlesgc: yes, why? [05:13] so, is there a way to properly remove firefox? [05:13] ooooo [05:13] Cutter ah, from what I understand, 64bit flash is not exactly stable [05:13] monskee, ps |grep should find it [05:13] ok [05:13] does gnash lack any feature? [05:15] Cutter I have used it a couple times before, and it doesn't work for all sites. I'm pretty youtube works though [05:15] celtthunder lol I'm just indiscriminately killing stuff! Killed the terminal first! [05:16] ok thanks [05:16] bye [05:16] monskee um what is displayed as then ame for your process you are trying to kill (taskbar/titlebar? [05:16] monskee, thunar? [05:16] etc - file manager [05:16] by-uuid - file manager [05:16] oh [05:16] monskee, is it thunar though?

[05:20] ok thanks [05:23] man apt is a pile sometimes :/ [05:24] is there a dpkg way to remove firefox and all dependencies and files, like for realZ? [05:24] apt-get remove and apt-get purge seem to not remove much [05:25] how do i upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10/ [05:25] !upgrade | user01 [05:25] user01: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [05:25] bnagy: remove will uninstall everything but any config files in /etc/, while purge removes everything, including config files [05:25] user01 add the new repositories to your sources.list and apt-get update;apt-get dist-upgrade [05:26] celthunder: No, that hasn't been the suggested method for a number of years now. [05:26] tritium: well, purge and reinstall doesn't seem to work :) [05:26] bnagy: sudo apt-get purge firefox firefox-3.0 firefox-branding firefox-3.0-branding xulrunner-1.9 ubufox [05:26] bnagy: That's because "firefox" as a package doesn't install much, if anything. [05:27] bnagy: It's all in firefox-3.0 [05:27] flannel meh i updated a system like that...though it was probably 3-4 years ago [05:27] celthunder: Yes, it works, but its certainly more work than required. [05:27] bnagy: they work just fine. See Flannel's comment for what you're doing wrong. [05:27] Hey guys, question about upgrading [05:28] yeah I did the same with firefox-3.0 too [05:28] I am going from 32 to 64 bit so I know I need a full install [05:28] bnagy: And what didn't get remvoed? [05:28] so, if I copy my ~ dir I should retain all my settings? [05:28] won't this leave crud around as well? [05:28] mjs7231_: Yep [05:28] How doe I view pdf annotations in evince, they show up as annotation symbols but I cant actually read them... [05:28] I think probably xulrunner [05:28] again :/ [05:29] mjs7231_: It'll leave config files for the programs you currently have installed, but don't have installed on the new system. But that's not the end of the world. [05:29] bnagy: What exactly are you trying to accomplish? [05:29] Flannel, thanks [05:29] Flannel: uh, just a working firefox, nothing obscure [05:30] ok, so I ran that purge command, then apt-get install, no errors, but when I try and execute firefox it says it's not installed [05:30] is there a page that details the status of the ppa build queues? I've had a build in an "estimated 18 minutes" state for over an hour now. [05:30] Flannel, I can probably manually go thru and delete stuff.. because in theory it wouldn't be there in the new system anyway.. right? [05:30] bnagy: purge the aforementioned packages, and then reinstall. But, also.. delete your user configs (well, move them). Since those will stick around after you remove/reinstall [05:30] Normall things build much more quickly [05:30] and there is no firefox in /usr/bin, which is probably going to be a problem :) [05:31] mjs7231_: Yep You can delete anything/everything in home without causing issues (well, unless you delete something that something else references, but I can't think of anything like that that'd be realistic) [05:31] Flannel, Awesome.. thanks [05:31] bnagy: do this: sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox-3.0 && sudo apt-get install firefox [05:31] Good night. [05:31] this shuoldn't be too difficult then [05:32] flannel wine makees stuff in your home directory that it references ...it wont break if you delete it it just wont work... [05:32] Flannel, last question.. no issues doing this going from 32 -> 64 bit? [05:32] mjs7231_: shouldn't be, no. [05:32] can someone help me with sshfs? im tryin to mount a folder from a pc on my lan, i know i have the right command because it was working before. however yesterday i restarted my pc, mounted again and the mounted folder disappeared - when i check in command line the folder is there. anyone know how i fix this? [05:32] celthunder, I'll delete that dir anyway.. :) [05:32] Flannel: I have done that about 5 times [05:33] lemme try once more for fun [05:33] kaveh: check if that folder is hidden [05:33] it isn't [05:33] bnagy: Actually, do this: sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox-3.0 && dpkg -l | grep firefox, and then pastebin the results [05:33] you can c it in the terminal but not in nautilus ryt? [05:34] Hi I was wondering about the JauntyReleaseSchedule isn't the Release candidate supposed to be out already? [05:34] deepjoy: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty questions, thanks.

[05:37] Flannel: http://pastebin.com/f25b4242 [05:37] I hope [05:37] I don't have lynx installed :) [05:37] Kavindu: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [05:37] Flannel: thanx [05:37] ok so i just re-mounted with sshfs and the folder that i mounted has disappeared on my comp. i checked in command line and when i use ls it says "cannot access hdd1: permission denied" [05:37] hdd1 is the fodler name ofcourse [05:38] bnagy: Alright. Just pastebin this: dpkg -l | grep firefox [05:38] Can I tell tar zcf but also specifify 'MAX compression' ? [05:38] Flannel: nothing to paste [05:38] kaveh: check if yoi have permissions by right-clicking and going ti he porperties tab [05:39] right clicking what? [05:39] the folder isnt there to right click [05:39] right-clicking the hdd1 folder [05:39] oh yeah [05:39] try : sudo nautilus [05:39] and go to the folder and check if it's there [05:40] command not found? [05:40] is it a browser or something? [05:40] bnagy: alright. and ls -l /usr/bin | grep firefox ? [05:40] what are u using, ubuntu ryt? [05:40] xubuntu [05:41] so yeah ubuntu [05:41] kaveh: gksu thunar [05:41] anyone knowlegable about wubi installs? [05:41] Flannel: empty [05:41] !anyone | monskee [05:41] ok so gksu thunar is a win [05:41] monskee: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:41] everythings there its mounted and working [05:41] bnagy: alright. Now do this: sudo apt-get install firefox (and patsebin the output) [05:41] ok ok [05:41] so im guessing permissions are stuffed then? [05:42] sorry [05:42] Any clue for my 6.06->8.04 (from LTS to LTS) upgrade problem, anybody? I'm following help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades, but I don't see "New distribution release '8.04' is available Upgrade" on step 5, not even with 'gksu "update-manager -c"'. Maybe I once did something to disable these upgrade offers (before new LTS was available), but of course I don't remember the details, and 6.06 lifetime is running out... "sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop" a [05:42] what is ur defualy file browser [05:42] *defualt [05:42] NIK123: Are you completely up to date with dapper? [05:43] Flannel: http://pastebin.com/f1126fde9 [05:43] hi [05:43] and still not working, btw [05:43] i have installed xubuntu with wubi and when i boot I get dropped to a shell with ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/3Exxxxxx does not exist [05:43] mine? thunar by the looks of it [05:43] can anyone help? [05:43] Flannel: yes [05:43] bnagy: alright, and now, dpkg -L firefox-3.0 [05:43] Kavindu, 'a' before 'u' on 'default' :) [05:43] NIK123: Do you have dapper, dapper-upgrades and dapper-security repositories enabled? [05:44] http://pastebin.com/f50eeb201 [05:44] sudo apt-get install nautilus [05:44] sry [05:44] Flannel: yes, see sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu.com/151660/ [05:44] kaveh, Kavindu: no, no need to do that. [05:44] sudo apt-get install && sudo nautlius [05:44] NIK123, you're not going straight from 6.06 to 8.04 are you? [05:44] '? [05:45] gtg [05:45] when i press window key+m in ubuntu my screen gets black? [05:45] NIK123: Alright, that'd be a yes. Have you tried do-release-upgrade perhaps? [05:45] i have installed xubuntu with wubi and when i boot I get dropped to a shell with ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/3Exxxxxx does not exist. Can anyone help! [05:45] Geoffrey2: sure, from LTS to LTS, it's documented [05:45] Flannel what do I do then? if i can see it with sudo thunar then im guessing that the permissions need to be changed - is that done through terminal or gui? [05:46] anyone tell me the name of this server pls? [05:46] kaveh: You can change them however. Thunar is your file manager. You don't need to have nautilus installed. [05:46] irc.freenode.com ? [05:46] monskee: Was Windows not shut down properly (or hibernated) by any chance? [05:46] eternaljoy: This is freenode, which the ubuntu irc server is aliased to. [05:46] cojabo perhaps! [05:46] anyone? [05:46] cojabo what do i do if it's that? [05:46] Flannel: http://pastebin.com/f50eeb201 [05:46] (this is the second install with that problem) [05:47] well, amazingly enough today the hard drive is working...... [05:47] Flannel: what is it? what do I enter? irc.freenode.com? [05:47] almost makes me wonder if it's an overheating problem of some kind..... [05:47] Flannel: "sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop" also just says "No new release found", [05:47] bnagy: alright, please pastebin this: apt-cache policy firefox firefox-3.0 [05:47] !irc server? [05:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about irc server? [05:47] hold up the permissions say everyone has access to read and write [05:48] NIK123: -m desktop isn't required. Or, at least, I'm not sure what that is. [05:48] monskee: Boot Windows, then shut it down properly (and run scandisk if that still doesnt work). The problem is Linux won't touch an NTFS file system if it is in an inconsistent state. [05:48] anything elsethat could be making the folder disappear / not be accessible without root permission? [05:48] Flannel: http://pastebin.com/f2a2ba9b0 [05:48] i'll try! thanks! [05:49] hello [05:49] Flannel: same without -m desktop [05:50] How do I view annotations in evinc? [05:50] bnagy: Alright. To the best of my knowledge, I'd say you've found a bug with regards to packaging. [05:50] *evince [05:50] Flannel: i found it [05:50] Flannel: joy. Can I step back a version manually? [05:51] maybe my mirror has a dodgy copy of something [05:51] hm I guess I can try the main server, give me a couple of minutes? [05:51] NIK123: Alright, lets... try something. Go to software sources (or software... properties). If you don't have a entry under System > ADmin for that, you can get to it through synaptic. === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [05:51] can Ubuntu 8.10 play DVDs? [05:51] NIK123: And on the second or third tab, see if there's a setting with regard to LTS upgrades vs regular upgrades vs no upgrades. [05:52] I've been having intermittent problems where the computer hangs, and on reboot I'm told I don't have a bootable device..... [05:52] let it sit a while, and the drive is back..... [05:52] Flannel: going to Software Preferences... [05:53] Why does my Ubuntu let me play DVD movies? [05:53] *doesnt my [05:53] BilokShem: did you install libdvdcss or whatever. [05:54] No [05:54] !dvd | BilokShem [05:54] BilokShem: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [05:54] is that what I need? [05:54] Flannel: hrm, nope, I wasn't using a mirror :( [05:54] Flannel: I think that's on later versions perhaps? I think I need to know what file records that setting, and edit it directly [05:54] ok Im gonna throw this out there. I'm doing a wubi install on an averatec 3200. I'm getting the b43 phy0 ucode5.fw error on the first reboot. i know how to fix it in 3 diferent ways. it goes to bash after sitting for a minute or 5, i fix it over and over and changes are lost after reboot. i need to find out why the changes aren't saved even when i sync and reboot, also it would help to know how to start ubuntu from the bash prompt whi [05:54] are in memory should it not be possible to have them written before i boot in and finish the install. if anyone knows what i need please message me or email me. by the way i am using 8.10 xubuntu wubi, figured id try that to minimixe the possibility of problems just until i get it running once. the only distro that has ever booted on this turd was goblinx although i didnt get wireless working,(didn't try either) the lack of b43 firmwa [05:54] it for a loop. if i can figure this out im gonna ditch windows altogether (i'm a semi newbie but i've tried several distros and setup several installations, my little personal laptop is the only on thats ever given me any problems but its helped me learn alot) thanks [05:54] AJNpa80: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:54] BilokShem: you can instlal ubuntu-restricted-extras contains a bunch of common nonfree packages. YOu have to check if they are leagla in your country now. [05:55] I just upgraded to 9.04, now I do not have sound. When I play songs I only hear a little bit of static. How can I fix it [05:55] sound worked fine on 8.10 [05:55] aaronator, 9.04 is supported in #ubuntu+1 [05:55] !broadcom > AJNpa80 [05:55] AJNpa80, please see my private message [05:55] thanx [05:56] Arkku^: pulseaudio is the issue join #ubuntu+1 someone help you out. [05:56] I tried enabling the Ubuntu restricted extras but it gave me a message that says some other installed software is conflicting with it [05:56] when i press window key+m in ubuntu my screen gets black?what should be the problem [05:57] I have to switch to the synaptic package [05:57] How do I do that? [05:57] NIK123: Did you install update-manager-core? [05:58] Flannel: tab "Internet Updates" has checked "Check for updates automatically" with setting "Daily", checked "Download updates in the background, but do not install" them, and unchecked "Install security updates without confirmation", that's all. The other tabs are "Installation Media", for sources.list, and "Authentication", with some keys [05:58] Flannel: I have update-manager-core [05:58] NIK123: Nope, that's not the expanded one, which must have started for Hardy., [05:58] BilokShem: what do you mean switch to the synaptic package? [05:59] it says I must switch to the synaptic package to resolve the problem [05:59] i need some help .. i installed a new hdd .. ubuntu only lets root read and write to this drive .. is there a way to fix this? [05:59] will gxine work just as well? [05:59] NIK123: Alright, well, I'd file a bug report. See if there's a fix/workaround. We can always upgrade manually (the old fashioned way--which works just fine). You have until June to upgrade before desktop goes EOL anyway. [05:59] vegombrei add your users to storage group [05:59] celthunder: how do i do that? [05:59] BilokShem: well you could just insall the libdvd package without installing the restricted extras if you want. [06:00] vegombrei: fstab controls the behavior of permenantly mounted partitions, such as on internal hard drives. [06:00] I searched the libdvd [06:00] vegombrei, gpasswd -a storage [06:00] BilokShem: its libdvdcss2 [06:00] ok [06:00] NIK123: If they don't have a fix with regard to your bug report, you can feel free to come back and ask here and we'll walk you through it (you can ping me personally as well). [06:00] can anyone think of a reason my .torrent files would randomly get deleted every now and then [06:00] i cant tell if its happening during updates or what [06:00] !info libdvdcss2 | BilokShem [06:00] BilokShem: Package libdvdcss2 does not exist in intrepid [06:01] BilokShem: ughh hold up let me get you the wiki page with instructions. [06:01] prohna: where are those files located? [06:01] Yeah I can't find it [06:01] aaditya: ~/music/watch/ [06:01] I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 [06:01] so... any more thoughts on getting firefox working, or do I have to install from source? [06:01] prohna: which bittorrent client? [06:01] !medibuntu | BilokShem [06:01] BilokShem: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [06:01] prohna: souldn't be unless the torrent software is doing it. [06:01] it seems like every now and then i check rtorrent and nothings seeding [06:01] Flannel: do you know what file might have been written for that "no upgrades" setting? I doubt it's a bug, see original description (I think I may have deactivated something). With "upgrade manually", do you mean fresh install? [06:01] ok [06:01] tritium: ty BilokShem forllow ubottu instructions [06:02] so what do I do [06:02] celthunder: gpasswd or do i put my password? [06:02] histo: first thats what i thought, that maybe rtorrent was set to remove them after a certain ratio up or something [06:02] prohna: it's most probably the client moving files around. did you check the settings in your client? [06:02] histo: but this is the whole folder [06:02] BilokShem: follow the instructions on the medibuntu URL above [06:02] aaditya: they get moved to .local/share/files/Trash [06:02] AK_Dave: you know how to fix fstab? [06:03] prohna: bittorrent clients have that feature.. [06:03] BilokShem: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Playing%20Encrypted%20DVDs [06:03] aaditya: a whole folder? now matter whats seeded or not? [06:03] !fstab>vegombrei [06:03] vegombrei, please see my private message [06:03] Does anyone know gxine? [06:03] prohna: possible.. [06:03] vegombrei: edit it by hand with nano, kate, gedit, etc. Assuming we're talking about an internal drive that is identified in fstab. But it might not be. It might be in mtab. [06:03] NIK123: I don't. Let me poke around a bit. [06:03] AK_Dave, adding your user to storage doesnt work anymore? [06:03] what's the network manager frontend in ubuntu 8.10? [06:04] NIK123: Do you have /etc/update-manager/? [06:04] celthunder: It may. Thats another way to do things. [06:04] celthunder: Is the drive associated with the group storage? [06:04] AK_Dave, k just making sure cause someone asked pretty much the same question yesterday and i said just add the group and id hate to be giving out bad info... [06:05] Flannel: ls: /etc/update-manager: No such file or directory [06:05] AK_Dave, usually in linux it will associate the two...at least on archlinux and slax it did [06:05] ? [06:05] celthunder: Technically, linux doesn't add drives in the first place. It adds partitions. [06:05] hi celthunder === carlos is now known as Guest71103 [06:06] Davide-buntu, hi did you get your thing to wokr (forgot what it was but it froze your computer and you were on your palm for a bit) [06:06] linux is the best!!!!!!!!! [06:06] hello [06:06] celthunder: i believe that it was vegombrei who asked you this question yesterday === Sex is now known as Guest53506 [06:06] celthunder, well yes I formatted the drive and figured out how to mount it [06:06] cellofellow, thanks! [06:07] NIK123: Looks like update-manager uses gconf, you might try poking around in that. [06:07] Davide-buntu➜ for what? [06:07] vegombrei: You say you "added a drive". Okay. What do you mean? Internal, external, hard drive, flash drive, tape drive? How is it formatted? Where does it appear in mtab or fstab? [06:07] Davide-buntu, lol k thats good :) aaditya oh lol same person i guess [06:07] cellofellow, sorry meant to write to celthunder [06:07] what's the network manager frontend in ubuntu 8.10? i can't find anything with google [06:07] lol [06:08] anybody know what time the Jaunty RC is going live? [06:08] xr78: #ubuntu+1 [06:08] celthunder, now I have another issue I'm trying to resolve, I'm trying to permanently mount a Windows network drive from my other computer === theemulator is now known as Tuxerito [06:09] AK_Dave: ok .. its an 80 gb internal hdd, i formatted it to ext3, shows up but only root can access it, if you show me how to see my fstab i could copy paste it in pastebin [06:10] Davide-buntu, workgroup or domain? [06:10] celthunder, workgroup it's on MSHOME I'm trying with this command but it doesnt work sudo mount -t cifs //none-xvlc1hi3pv/d/ /media/none [06:11] celthunder, says it cannot find the location... but I can browse to it through the folder structure [06:11] vegombrei: An internal partition like that should usually be mounted in /etc/fstab. It probably appears in /etc/mtab. The usual course of things is to take the line from /etc/mtab and copy it to /etc/fstab and either reboot or "sudo mount -a". At least, thats what I do. [06:12] !partitions|vegombrei [06:12] vegombrei: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [06:12] vegombrei: The line for the drive probably says ro [06:13] AK_Dave, how would you mount a windows drive over the network? with what command? [06:13] Davide-buntu, did you try smbfs? [06:13] vegombrei: But depending on how the partition is mounted in mtab you may be able to get away with simply adding yourself to the storage group as celthunder suggested. [06:13] AK_Dave: how do i check? [06:13] celthunder, I installed it I thought that's what would make that command work [06:13] AK_Dave: im a noob .. donno how to see fstab [06:13] celthunder, am I missing something? [06:13] vegombrei: the file to look in is /etc/mtab [06:14] AK_Dave: ok so how do i look into it? [06:14] vegombrei: Do you know how to open a terminal and use an editor? [06:14] AK_Dave: yeah [06:14] !smbfs [06:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about smbfs [06:14] vegombrei: Thats what you do. The file to open is /etc/mtab and look for the line for the partition you're talking about. [06:15] David: depends on how security is done on the server side for the share, but typically this works: smb://ip.to.the.share/sharename [06:15] or do the slashes go the other way? [06:16] ubottu: sorry [06:16] It's ok, I can't stay mad at you. Those darned ewoks on the other hand... [06:16] hey is there anyway to jail a user to their home folder? [06:16] AK_Dave: whats the pastebin url again? [06:16] I don't know pastebin [06:16] !chroot | stewart_ [06:16] stewart_: chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) [06:16] vegombrei, pastebin.com [06:17] celthunder: thanks:) [06:17] Davide-buntu, You might also try the PLACES >> CONNECT TO SERVER dialog box if you want to avoid cmd line [06:17] aaditya, you can compile 32 bit programs in a 64 bit host without a chroot cant you? since most are x86 64 they include the 32 bit libraries anyway [06:18] AK_Dave: http://pastebin.com/d51cce5e2 its the last line. [06:18] Flannel: gconf/defaults/%gconf-tree.xml has something like update-manager/check-dist-upgrades, , but I don't see anything else that seems remotely interesting, and aren't these just defaults anyway? [06:18] celthunder: should be able to; haven't ever heard about using chroot for that purpose [06:18] anyone know of a program that can 'batch' resizes pictures? [06:18] Hello all. [06:19] NIK123: you'd be looking in the actual gconf, with gconf-editor (or is it gconf2-editor?) [06:19] aaditya, well you typed !chroot at someone and it said "such as compiling 32 bit apps in a 64 bit os" which made me wonder if im wrong in assuming.... [06:19] Anyone know how I can tint conky's background? [06:19] Is it fine to download the beta now, or will the official release be a cleaner install? [06:19] mjs7231_: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty questions. Thanks [06:19] vegombrei: Thats a good mtab line. It has the rw flag, which means READ & WRITE. No reason for your access to be restricted for that partition, unless it has something to do with your user groups. celthunder is right.

[06:24] celthunder: hold on lemme try that [06:24] vegombrei: Then I don't see a reason why that partition should mount as root only. Try this: open nautilus as root (sudo nautilus) and then go to the /media folder. Find the Stuff folder. R-click it. Check the privs on that folder. [06:24] Where do I find libdvdcss?

If the issue that its not asking isn't a bug (because you told it to) the fact that we can't re-enable it is a bug. [06:26] aaditya: where do i add that line? at the end of fstab? [06:26] vegombrei: yes [06:26] vegombrei: you need to add the medibuntu repository [06:26] vegombrei: If you add the line that aaditya said, it'll work. Put it as the last line in /etc/fstab [06:26] bilokshem im sorry apparently they added a 2 to it try libdvdcss2 (sh3r1ffs suggestion) [06:26] vegombrei: This is what I do. It works. Every time. [06:27] Well, 60% of the time it works every time. [06:27] is it impossible to play dvds? [06:27] Bilok: Yes, without the right codecs. === jpsnl1 is now known as JP-sNL [06:27] where do I find em [06:27] BilokShem: add medibuntu repository then sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [06:27] BilokShem, just go get vlc media player comes with most ofthe important codecs [06:27] Bilok: medibuntu [06:27] BilokShem, http://packages.medibuntu.org/intrepid/libdvdcss2.html [06:28] BilokShem: oryou can just install the deb from packages.medibuntu.com [06:28] aaditya: when I right click the images...I don't see anything with nautilus [06:28] BilokShem: you still haven't read the instructions? [06:28] aaditya: it says i dont have permission to save and edit fstab.. how do i log on a root in the gui? [06:28] they were too long and complex [06:28] Mylisto: do you see an option "Resize Images"? [06:28] Bilok: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/jaunty.list -O /etc/ [06:28] apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [06:28] I want the easiest and simplest solution [06:29] Bilok: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo [06:29] apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [06:29] nope I don't see it [06:29] am I going to have to deal with the command prompt? [06:29] Bilok: sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 libdvdread3 && sudo apt-get install [06:29] w32codecs [06:29] AK_Dave: is BilokShem using jaunty? [06:29] Flannel: so what did you mean earlier with old-fashioned manual upgrade? save to external storage, fresh install, try to restore? [06:29] Bilok: Cut-paste those three lines. [06:29] BilokShem, the following link goes straight to a page where you can download libdvdcss2.... http://packages.medibuntu.org/intrepid/libdvdcss2.html [06:29] aaditya: nope I don't see a resize images [06:29] Bilok: replace "jaunty" with your actual distro version [06:29] BilokShem: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [06:30] Mylisto: close the window and open it again, if you didn't do that after the installation [06:30] BilokShem: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [06:30] Okay thanks geoffrey [06:30] aaditya: no problem i figured it out [06:30] I must restart this computer [06:30] Bilok: If you want the EASIEST and FASTEST way, you do it my way at the command prompt. [06:30] BilokShem: you shouldn't have to after you install it. [06:30] what window aaditya:? [06:30] how can i put ubuntu in usb and make portable_ [06:30] AK_Dave: thats not necessarily the easiest way. [06:30] AK_Dave: medibuntu home page has a distro-neutral script for adding the rep [06:30] histo: cut paste three lines of text? [06:31] Mylisto: the file explorer "Nautilus" [06:31] vegombrei: did it work? [06:31] histo: Its the easiest for me. I don't care about anyone else. [06:31] haha he's gone [06:31] Geoffrey, which version do I download? [06:31] aaditya: you said for veggie to reboot. :D [06:31] aaditya: wheres nautilus [06:31] Bilok: The version that matches your distro. === shirish is now known as firesoul [06:32] distro? [06:32] AK_Dave: omg yes i remember. that was the easiest way [06:32] what's a distro? [06:32] Bilok: What version of ubuntu do you use? [06:32] AK_Dave: rather than umount that partition and mount -a [06:32] lol [06:32] 8.10 [06:32] Hey aditya ? are you the one from gsoc [06:32] aaditya: Yes, thats what I'd do. What you'd do. But you did say reboot. [06:32] :-/ [06:32] BilokShem, that depends on your processor, Intel (i386), AMD, or Apple (Power PC) [06:32] aaditya: Or maybe "restart". [06:33] firesoul: no, i'm the one from Y! [06:33] from Y! ?? [06:33] AK_Dave: haha yes [06:33] Ubuntu 8.10 Eepc 701 [06:33] firesoul: yes, Yahoo! [06:33] aaditya, hmm [06:33] Bilok: Okay you use Ubuntu Intrepid. You do the line for Intrepid. [06:33] ubottu: medibuntu [06:33] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [06:34] BilokShem, there is no dvd drive in that computer [06:34] No but I have an external [06:34] For adding medibuntu: [06:34] sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/`lsb_release -cs`.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list; sudo apt-get -q update; sudo apt-get --yes -q --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring; sudo apt-get -q update [06:34] aaditya: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:34] wth [06:34] BilokShem, then download the file, and double click open with gdebi [06:34] which is the line for intrepid? [06:34] BilokShem, no need for the repo at all. [06:35] aaditya: dude i added that line and restarted .. and now it doesnt even show the drive in my file manager [06:35] Bilok: She just gave it to you, or use what I said and replace jaunty with intrepid [06:35] vegombrei: i think i know what happened. one moment [06:35] who's she? [06:35] how can i put ubuntu in usb and make portable? [06:35] hmm... [06:35] aaditya: you said to mount it as / [06:35] gran_ger try Unetbooting [06:35] AK_Dave: yes [06:35] aaditya: you need to see my fstab? [06:36] vegombrei: where do you want that drive to show up? [06:36] !usb | Gran_Ger [06:36] Gran_Ger: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [06:36] aaditya: where is the nautilus explorer [06:36] vegombrei: would something like "/new_partition" work? [06:36] thanks ubottu, thanks kavindu. [06:36] NIK123: No, no. Just manual sources.list changes and update/dist-upgrade. === firesoul is now known as shirish [06:37] Mylisto: assuming that you're using the regular gnome desktop - it's the file manager [06:37] what is i386 and lpia? [06:37] Mylisto: Places > Home [06:37] NIK123: But, from what I heard someone else just do, there are a few other things that aren't taken care of manually, like the switch from hda to sda and such. [06:37] You can take a normal CD install of Ubuntu and before you boot to install it, plug a USB stick in. Then when it comes to partitioning, change from /sda to /sdb (or whatever the usb stick is) and install direct to the stick. Works. But isn't always portable to other computers. [06:37] ok and then aaditya: [06:38] aaditya: i just installed it yesterday ... its an 80 gb its empty ..i could reformat if you know of a more efficient way .. thing is i just wanna be able to use the drive as im running outta space and ever since i formatted it from ntfs to ext3 it only lets root read and write to it [06:38] Mylisto: navigate to the directory where images are located, and right click on any one image, and see if those options appear === firesoul is now known as shirish [06:39] AK_Dave: what do you suggest, where should he mount the partition? [06:39] vegombrei: /dev/sdc1 /media/Stuff ext3 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 0 [06:39] NIK123: does "gksu update-manager -c" not work? [06:39] AK_Dave: where do i put that? in a terminal? [06:40] vegombrei: modify the line that you added to /etc/fstab, and change "/" to "/media/Stuff" [06:40] vegombrei: replace that line in your /etc/fstab that aaditya had you put in. Then we'll remount your drives WITHOUT a reboot. [06:40] vegombrei: then it will look like what AK_Dave typed [06:41] Flannel: I wanted to become an Ubuntu member. Where do I begin? [06:41] Flannel: it doesn't, here's how I started this again: Any clue for my 6.06->8.04 (from LTS to LTS) upgrade problem, anybody? I'm following help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades, but I don't see "New distribution release '8.04' is available Upgrade" on step 5, not even with 'gksu "update-manager -c"'. Maybe I once did something to disable these upgrade offers (before new LTS was available), but of course I don't remember the details, and 6.06 lifetime is [06:41] AK_Dave: root@vegombrei:/home/vegombrei# gedit /etc/fstab [06:41] (gedit:6979): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported [06:41] sudo gedit /etc/fstab [06:41] Ok all... Anyone have a mic workinf on the nvidia hd audio mcp67 chipset? my out works fine mut nothing acrross the mic [06:41] hi, i have a hdd stuck in udma2, how can i change it to udma5? [06:42] Also its reported as a conexant CX20561 [06:43] aaditya: Get involved. Easiest way to do that: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate and then once you're involved, to actually apply for membership: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newmember [06:43] aaditya: There is still no options to resize [06:44] Ak Dave, What do I use at the command prompt again to play DVDs? [06:44] NIK123: I'd still go the bug report route. It shouldn't be hidden like this, and who knows how many people will be in a similar situation as EOL looms for dapper desktop. [06:44] How do you specify to use homeDirectory information from the ldap when using the ldap for authenticaiton [06:45] BilokShem, go to the medibuntu website and get the appropriate file [06:45] Bilok: Depends. Did you install the codecs? [06:45] Flannel: OK, I'll go for the bug report, thanks a lot for the effort even if we didn't find it [06:45] BilokShem, you will need to actually download and install it; open the site www.medibuntu.org in a browser [06:46] Flannel: Thanks. When would I know that I am "involved"? [06:46] aaditya: You get a funny feeling inside. [06:46] haha [06:47] like [06:47] aaditya: Did you ever listen to Mr Rogers? [06:47] does this count? http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/contributor/aadityabhatia/ [06:47] AK_Dave: not really [06:47] aaditya: Well, too bad. His "theme song" is applicable. [06:47] I'd love to see the day we don't need to go through this dance to get DVDs to work with linux.... [06:48] aaditya: those options don't appear [06:48] Mylisto: what's type of image files are those? [06:48] jpg's [06:48] aaditya: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership [06:49] if nautilus-image-converter was installed, those options normally do appear [06:49] Geoffrey2: Some disros dodge the dance entirely. Mint, for example. [06:49] i'm assuming that you're right clicking on the image files and not directly in the directory [06:49] AK_Dave: thanks :) [06:50] yeah [06:50] i'm right cilcking on the images [06:51] I understand Dell actually provides a fully legit DVD player in linux computers it ships.... [06:51] Mylisto: not sure what's going on [06:51] Geoffrey2: They license codecs from fluendo.com [06:52] Mylisto: maybe try logging out and then logging in. Are you using gnome desktop? [06:52] aaditya: how do I know if I am using gnome desktop [06:53] Mylisto, do you have applications , places system on the top panel? [06:53] yeppers [06:53] gnome [06:53] brb [06:54] Mylisto, did you install nautilus-image-converter?

[06:56] if I mirror a pair of drives on a VT6420 SATA RAID controller, will ubuntu recognize the mirrored volume? [06:56] nope [06:56] softraid eh [06:56] AK dave I entered in the command line you gave me [06:56] but it gave me some error report [06:56] was that the right command prompt [06:57] BilokShem: what were you trying to do? [06:57] get dvds to play [06:57] Bilok: What did you do? [06:57] I entered in those 3 lines [06:57] klen: no I do not [06:57] Bilok: did you change 'jaunty' to 'intrepid' in the first one like I told you? [06:58] I didn't see a word that said Jaunty [06:58] BilokShem: what commands did you enter? [06:58] Bilok: Never cut-paste to the command line without reading what you're pasting. [06:58] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 libdvdread3 && sudo apt-get install w32codecs [06:58] BilokShem: was this the first one? [06:58] first one? [06:58] Bilok: I could have told you to do some 'rm' command that wiped your drive. [06:58] you said three likes.. [06:59] the only command I entered [06:59] AK_Dave: he knows that you're nice :) [06:59] Bilok: Thats the LAST of THREE commands. [06:59] i have a question about synaptic on ubuntu 9.04. i have the identical synaptic preferences an repository options on 4 boxes. but one of the boxes, the package gnome-open-terminal doesn't show up in synaptic. how can this be? what do i have to do to make it show up?

Burn some DVD's too..... [09:00] good question _YKY_ [09:00] what about a dual boot? [09:00] _YKY_: yes [09:00] swayed: 1Gb will do yu fine then [09:00] <_YKY_> Both kernels within one harddisk partition? [09:00] if 8/1000ths your disk is asking too much, there's a problem [09:00] aaditya: what? [09:01] im not sure if that would wokr [09:01] m4v3r1c: Then the fix might not be in Ibex... anyhow... I solved a very similar issue by uninstalling the libbrasero-media0 package which apparently conflicted with nautilus not allowing it to start... [09:01] work* [09:01] swayed: you wont hit 4gb ever but its nice to have a little one, set your swappiness to 1 or 2 and you'll be fine [09:01] Boohbah: 32-bit and 64-bit have entirely different packages [09:01] aaditya: but you can run 32bit packages in 64bit with ia32-libs ;) [09:01] ActionParsnip, cool - Not sure how my last "no brainner" install did it but ended up using 9gigs for my swap - way way to much.... [09:02] well, yeah. how would you go for installing a 64-bit kernel on 32-bit machine? [09:02] or [09:02] nevermind [09:02] swayed: yep, 2 x ram [09:02] if you have a 64 bit machine [09:02] how would you install a 32-bit kernel on a 64-bit OS and machine? [09:02] you can install both 32 and 64 i think [09:02] you could always use a virtual machine [09:02] ActionParsnip, But that sounds way over kill correct? [09:02] depending on why you needed one or the other [09:02] hello, is it possible to lock the luminosity? when I start software such as mplayer, qemu, they seem to interact with the screen saver and reestablish the maximum luminosity, which is annoying. I can fix it with the -nostop-xscreensaver, but how can I do this globally? [09:02] aaditya: you cant, but if you have a 64bit kernel you can install and run 32bit apps [09:03] ActionParsnip: right. So 32-bit and 64-bit kernels can't co-exist in one installation.. [09:03] swayed: depends, if you are performing full 3d rendering then i'd have that much swap, it just covers all areas if it goes OTT [09:03] aaditya: wouldnt think so [09:03] ls [09:04] swayed: remember, ubuntu is trying to be a 1 glove fits all [09:04] swayed: how much RAM?

[09:05] aaditya, I have 4gb's and my swap is set at 9gb's [09:06] swayed: i doubt if you'd ever end up using entire 4GB on a desktop [09:06] it's a desktop, right? [09:06] release candidate anyone ?

[09:19] Hassanakevazir why [09:19] jedi06: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inode [09:19] jedi06, are mounting your ubuntu partition?

[09:21] ActionParsnip: thanks [09:21] jedi06, messed up my system file permissions twice, and there is no way to easily fix it,I won't recommend mounting your ubuntu partition. use a gparted live cd and shrink your ubuntu partition, then creat a fat partition for sharing out of the extra space.

Can anyone please help me. I am still trying to open up my emails in ubuntu, but can't seem to open them. They aren't opening, and when they did, my emails all kept on switching places with one another. [10:20] tux4prez: what is lfs? :o [10:20] linux from scratch [10:20] where you compile your entire operating system from source [10:20] i have no package management =) [10:20] Hi, I'm working in a school environment where we have just setup an ubuntu pc as a trial. Now every student has to login to the wifi using network manager, but as soon as one enters there username and password its remembered. Is there an easier way around this? [10:20] as in have the login dropped after a period of inactivity? [10:21] its probably remembered client side [10:21] He-man, what email client are you using? [10:21] tux4prez: are you talking to me? [10:21] i would install thunderbird [10:21] yeah ziroday [10:21] tux4prez: Thanks mate. I am using evolution. [10:21] the passwords are usually remembered client side [10:22] i always have problems with evolution, give thunderbird a whirl [10:22] tux4prez: well of course its remembered client side, thats where they logged in. I want the password dropped after inactivity [10:22] tux4prez: what do you mean the windows jump around?

[10:23] tux4prez: please address the person you are talking to, for all our sanity [10:23] =) [10:23] haha [10:23] That was the problem... Origional ISO had wrong MD5... [10:23] i can explain what "windows jumps around" mean [10:23] ziroday: No, as I can't open it. It has been opening for a while. What I mean though is an email from one person will have changed to be an email from someone else, as though the titles have been shuffled. [10:23] Dl'd and reburned a correct md5 and install is underway [10:23] thx! [10:23] jfogg: so now you have learned how important md checking is [10:23] =) [10:24] He-man: right, so you're saying your addressbook is messed up? [10:24] yeah he, i would go for thunderbird, very solid [10:24] jfogg: they dont put those md5 files there to look brainy yu know ;) [10:24] Things I have taken for granted since the end of the age of dial-up [10:24] i'd say mutt [10:25] jfogg: tcp is decent but not infallible and files can get garbaged in transmission [10:25] mutt is also very popular for command line email [10:25] ziroday: No, my actual emails. Imagine you sent me an email, and I already had ten others from other people, yours would appear, but when I click on it, it would be one of the other ten. They are being mixed up like that. They are still there, but they aren't the ones which they were sent to me as. [10:25] yup... Thanks ActionPrsnip! [10:25] He-man: ah right [10:25] i actually have mutt, but not thunderbird on this computer, i have thunderbird on the other [10:26] ziroday: And now I am still trying to open my emails, and they won't open.

[11:03] wow [11:03] Firefishe: I guess for any [11:03] debian [11:03] oospunkey: mounting them somewhere [11:03] mesisi, /join #ubuntu-ko [11:03] can someone tell me where it is documented about what files cron ignores and what it doesn't? [11:03] oospunkey, you prolly need to mount your drive [11:03] ActionParsnip: what does that mean? :P [11:03] oospunkey: mount them in terminal, you will need to create some mount points [11:04] /mnt/hd is common [11:04] in technical drawing how do you call a line which object conture is drawn with? (i know not ubuntu related but i don't know who to ask and it's urgent, apologies) [11:04] shambat: jaunty isnt released so is supported n #ubuntu+1 [11:04] c0l2e: I have the .deb if you want it. [11:04] c0l2e: but it sounds like you got it okay [11:04] i still got no clue what the package name of that stoopid axcroread could be...? [11:04] shambat: once its released officially it will be supported in the official channel [11:04] ActionParsnip: I'll log it then. Hope it will change in jaunty(still waiting for that), thx ActionParsnip [11:05] ActionParsnip: alright [11:05] remoteCTR1: its not in the standard repo. [11:05] Firefishe: yeah I guess its fine already [11:05] bokey: i already added the medibuntu repo [11:05] remoteCTR1: Isn't the name of acroread, `acroread' ? [11:05] Hello, can i ask a question? [11:05] no [11:05] I wish ubuntu releases support 2 years instead of one every release [11:05] Drlangly: Don't ask to ask, just ask ;) [11:05] lol [11:05] ActionParsnip: hi i exec'd both those cmd lines and rebooted...still no use. [11:05] it says "unable to load module1(module does not exist...update ur config file" [11:06] Thank you 'firefishe', we can smack 'tux' in the mouth now for saying no. [11:06] ;) [11:06] remoteCTR1: just download from the acrobat and run it.. pretty straight forward [11:06] anil_kumar_: did you see it run a dkms build successfully? [11:06] Drlangly: Now, now. tux4prez is new, and so are you, I guess? [11:06] ;) [11:06] yes [11:06] yes yes :) [11:06] Firefishe: no it is not [11:06] im very nice :) [11:07] Drlangly: Same here, and tux4prez seems quite nice, too. [11:07] im not new, ive been idling for a long time [11:07] Ok listen, so i use Windows XP and i popped in the Ubuntu disc and installed IN windows, so it asks me on startup of the computer which OS i want to use. [11:07] tux4prez: I've seen you in here. [11:07] Firefishe: would i be asking otherwise? [11:07] ive been here for like a week lol [11:07] Drlangly: And? [11:07] So, i boot up, fully install..then i log in [11:07] some good text editor with ruler and built-in ftp-client? like pspad(windows) [11:07] and im stuck at the orange fade screen with a mouse...my keyboard doesnt have power after that and it doesnt do anything [11:08] Drlangly: did you md5 check what you had downloaded? [11:08] so im at sort of a wall...and i hear the ubuntu family is very helpful, so here i am :D [11:08] did i md5 check, i did not [11:08] my ubuntu would not boot, and would not install, and i md5ed it [11:08] i guess it didnt like antique hardware [11:09] is that what it is? could my hardware be a bit dated? [11:09] Drlangly: i'm guessing you used wubi, so md5 check wubi and the iso (if it needs an iso) to check that the files you downloaded were correct [11:09] this is a p3 850 [11:09] hi all - I am looking forward to getting 9.04 and am tempted to install the beta now. However I dont really want to rebuild when the final release comes out - I presume the updates released will take the beta upto the full release but are there any disadvantages with this? [11:09] Drlangly: if the files are corrupted then you WILL get issues [11:09] Drlangly: What kind of computer? [11:09] ActionParsnip: any suggestions for this prob... [11:09] tux4prez: better than my file server has [11:09] i downloaded the 8.10 and mounted with daemontools. [11:09] anil_kumar_: run: gksudo nvidia-settings [11:09] Dell [11:10] how do I restart the sound server on 8.10 without restarting X? [11:10] pentium 4, 1g of ram. [11:10] Drlangly: well, I need a 'little' more than that ;) [11:10] ah, good [11:10] hehe [11:10] same as my 2004 box here [11:10] Drlangly: sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart [11:10] cpu wise, anyway [11:10] ah ok, i didnt think it was too bad...i saw a kid today with a pc barley running with ubuntu on it, so i figured id be in safe waters. he has like 512g of ram. [11:10] !line [11:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about line [11:10] kandinski: ^ Drlangly sorry wrong target [11:11] its k [11:11] i have 768 ecc === davi_ is now known as davi [11:11] when i run nvidia-xconfig it shows this error [11:11] anil_kumar_: do you get any error messages?

[11:11] so as i said, i mounted 8.10 i d/led from the ubuntu site..mounted with daemon tools and the installation was smooth. i can even log in... [11:11] but thats about it. [11:11] Can you suggest a relieable company for a dedicated server in europe?? [11:11] Drlangly: md5 check the iso [11:11] pastebin pliz [11:11] how do i exit a man page? [11:11] anil_kumar_: for multiple lines, use pastebin [11:12] q [11:12] Drlangly: what was your problem? [11:12] q XB23 [11:12] XB23: q [11:12] ta [11:12] anil_kumar_: ok try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then reboot, then log in sudo nvidia-xconfig then reboot [11:13] reboot? [11:13] Drlangly: Sometimes, for keyboard/mouse issues, sometimes a: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales can work [11:13] keyboard, anyway [11:13] * tux4prez looks @ 100 day uptime [11:13] Knirgh..i installed 8.10 by mounting thru daemontools, fully installed, logged in and all i get is the orange fade screen, no keyboard power and a mouse [11:13] Drlangly: usb or ps2? [11:14] hmm? [11:14] Drlangly→ excuse me, daemon tools? was windows running when you installed ubuntu? [11:14] tux4prez: just makes sure everythings nice [11:14] 06:14:17 up 108 days, 12:50, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 [11:14] for part of the installtion, sure [11:14] lol [11:14] * tux4prez hugs tux [11:14] the first half [11:14] Drlangly: magnetron you used wubi ? [11:14] !wubi [11:14] 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. [11:15] erUSUL→ yes, and it requires a physical disc [11:15] Drlangly: if yo md5 check your iso and it fails, this will be the cause of your pains [11:15] DrLangly: What type of mouse do you have, a usb mouse or ps2? [11:15] magnetron: did not know that [11:15] oh, hehe srry [11:15] i have a microsoft usb mouse [11:15] wireless [11:15] k so I have ubuntu installed but its wont boot, so Im in the live CD boot trying to find my installed files but I don't see them in the file browser and don't know how to mount them [11:15] Drlangly: Also, what kind of keyboard? Is it also wireless?> [11:15] oospunkey: okay, where does it fail to boot? [11:15] no, its a dynex usb plugged in. [11:16] oospunkey: sudo fdisk -l will show you the partitions [11:16] dynex....hmmmm [11:16] in grub, got an error 25 [11:16] should i try 'wubi' ? or should i download and use 'md5 check' on the iso i downloaded? [11:16] Drlangly: Does it work in windows?> [11:16] cause its fully downloadable and bootable..it just doesnt go further than the login [11:16] DrLangly: how did you install ubuntu? in a seperate partition or the windows installer? or usb stick? [11:16] downloaded*....at least from my knowledge. [11:16] fsidk -l only showed me on of the flash drives plugged in [11:16] oospunkey, error25 = diskread error [11:17] google is my friend [11:17] oospunkey: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=117271&highlight=grub+error+25 [11:17] oospunkey: you can then mount them to empty folders, e.g sudo mkdir /media/disk1; sudo mount /dev/ /media/disk1 [11:17] oospunkey: if the disks are unhealthy as tux4prez says then you got a bigger issue [11:17] yeah [11:17] bigger issue [11:17] how do i check (in the CLI) what filesystems the partitions use? [11:17] oospunkey: Error 25 is a disk read error, your hard drive might be dead [11:17] linduxed: sudo fdisk -l [11:17] i'm trying to start up kerberos but it won't work... i think using localhost as my domain is my problem [11:18] ActionParsnip: that won't show the filesystem [11:18] you might need to run your checkdisk on it [11:18] i installed the iso, mounted it with daemontools...and the program came up with the 3 options: "demo and full installation...install inside windows...learn more" [11:18] i did "install inside windows" [11:18] i believe my windows disk is unhealthy (didn't shut down properly) [11:18] linduxed: cat /proc/mounts [11:18] ziroday: it shows the file system flag that fdisk sees [11:18] Drlangly: That might be it. [11:18] yeah checkdisk should repair that oospunkey [11:18] Drlangly: okay, so you used wubi [11:18] yeah [11:18] i can still see the windows files in live cd boot [11:18] ActionParsnip: which will be "Linux" :) [11:19] it did most of its thing, then rebooted...started and finished installation. [11:19] ziroday: yeah ;) [11:19] Drlangly→ "most"? [11:19] ziroday: like there needs to be anything else :P [11:19] ActionParsnip: that printed out "Linux" instead of ext3 on my computer, and here i know the correct answer... on the comp im gonna ssh into i dont [11:19] uhhh FSCK!!! thats the command =) oospunkey google fsck [11:19] Drlangly: okay.....then whats the problem? [11:19] ActionParsnip: haha [11:19] erUSUL: will try [11:19] well, after i login..my keyboard powers off...and im at the orange fade screen with a mouse i can move...but nothing comes up [11:19] Drlangly→ i'm afraid your install didn't finish, since the daemontools mounted cd wasn't available after boot [11:19] k i';; check out fsck [11:19] how do i make a domain like "example.com"? [11:19] linduxed: then cat /proc/mounts will show you as erUSUL said [11:20] magnetron: thats what i was thinking [11:20] kyledr: for your host/ip-adress? [11:20] erUSUL: ActionParsnip: that did the trick [11:20] linduxed: thanks to erUSUL too ;) [11:20] hrmmm [11:20] iceroot: i want my computer to be mycomputername.example.com for purposes of ldap/kerberos/samba [11:20] yeah oospunkey you need to research what version of fsck you need to use, i use JFS file system so my fsck command is fsck.jfs [11:21] Drlangly: My personal opinion: Uninstall ubuntu for now, defrag your windows system after that, boot to the live cd *outside of windows*, use the partitioning system *manually* to resize your windows partition to get some disk free space (if you don't have any already), create one primary linux ext3 partition as /, one 1.5GB swap partition, and go from there. [11:21] linduxed: ActionParsnip ;P [11:21] kyledr: edit /etc/hosts ip host [11:21] Drlangly→ i should advise you remove this install and redo it. this time, download wubi from the wubi website, then feed it the iso for the ubuntu cd. do NOT use daemon tools. [11:21] i agree [11:21] i would use a virtual machine [11:21] kyledr: edit /etc/hosts 192.168.0.2 example.com for e.g. [11:21] or something similar [11:21] hmmmmmmmmmmmmm [11:21] im a bit hazy with the partition making [11:22] Drlangly: can you boot to to recovery root console and install openssh-server, you will then be able to ssh in from another pc to read dmesg logs. you may also want to run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and then restart x (or the system) [11:22] cfdisk will partition your root disk and destroy tons of data =) [11:22] Drlangly: that will restore your x server to failsafes and you should be ok [11:22] iceroot: does localhost and my machine name have to reflect this? === android is now known as jussi01 [11:22] Drlangly: Learn about partitioning and resizing--especially the part about defragging windows with a dual-boot configuration. It'll pay off in spades! [11:22] , what is the channel name for jaunty?

Knowledge of partitioning is mandatory, in my eyes. [11:25] just could not connect to server [11:26] coolmadmax: con you ping the machines? are the servers up and running? do you have a firewall in any of the machines?

[11:27] is downloading WUBI from the site more stable then mounting the iso and going from there? [11:27] iyes [11:27] coolmadmax: then you dont need a gateway, just give 2 ip-adresses in same subnet [11:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/152000/ [11:27] i can ping systems [11:27] coolmadmax: e.g. 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 [11:28] coolmadmax: subnet 255.255.25.0 and nothing more, no gateway, no dns [11:28] i try but same problem [11:28] vim-latexsuite is installed, but when opening a .tex file in gvim, no latexsuite toolbar popps up. Why? [11:28] i could not run ftp [11:28] coolmadmax: if you can ping the problem is in the ftp server or maybe as i said you have a firewall [11:28] erUSUL thanks [11:29] iceroot thanks [11:30] how i check ftp server [11:31] anil_kumar__: ok, if you read your pastebin [11:31] anil_kumar__: and run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:32] anil_kumar__: in the subsection display in section screen, add the line Modes “1024x768_60″ [11:32] i run ubuntu. is there a gui tool that will allow this newbie to burn a bootable multi-distro CD that contains puppylinux, slax, tinycorelinux and of course dsl??

[11:37] ActionParsnip: yeah I'm mostly concerned about the file permissions; but i did notice that file permissions were indeed preserved on my other USB disks.

How can i force setup to accept the CD? [11:39] Oli``: i think you MAY be able to restrict it there in the first section, uncomment out the interfaces line and name the device you want to use [11:40] ActionParsnip: You know, that last URL you posted...it was very helpful...I mean, it would've been, if I had remembered I'm not on my Asus G50V-X1--which is now dead and heading back to my local Best Buy for exchange/funeral proceedings ;). The *desktop* I'm not on has a bloody ATI Radeon 9600! Grill the Fishe! ;) [11:40] hey all [11:40] ActionParsnip: yeah that looks like it should do it [11:40] Oli``: you'll need to uncomment out the next bit too to enable it, then run: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [11:40] Oli``: if not, comment them back out [11:40] just noticed bit of a problem with sound driver [11:40] can anyone tell me why i get "cannot contact any KDC for realm 'EXAMPLE.COM' while getting initial credentials" when doing "kinit" for kerberos?

Is there a Wiki? === marko-_-- is now known as marko-_- [11:46] hi there [11:46] CatJelly1: /var/run/ ? [11:46] wubbbi: If you just want to convert an .rpm to .deb, I'd recommend alien [11:46] !ubottu [11:46] 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 [11:46] Magnatron: I hadn't expected kernels to be that difficult in ubuntu, considering it's qiute different with gentoo [11:46] am using ubuntu8.10 and sound is not coming ...its a hda intel sound card [11:46] !alien | Firefishe wubbbi [11:46] Firefishe wubbbi: 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) [11:46] !intelhda | quantum [11:46] quantum: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [11:47] Firefishe: No ... I dont want to convert. I want to build a new RPM Package from a source [11:47] on an apt system? [11:47] Firefishe: its all linux, it shoudl e possible [11:47] on ubuntu ... yes [11:47] ActionParsnip: that doesnt work on ubuntu 8.10 and I have the latest alsa [11:48] sorry, had to confirm the problem [11:48] how can i set up a domain like example.com for testing kerberos? [11:48] my channels from my sound outputs seem a little confused [11:48] right channel goes to the front output [11:49] hello. i made my panel's background to be invisible, but the objects on the panel still have a background color! how do i remove it? [11:49] left goes to the back, etc [11:49] Ddorda: use transparent icons [11:50] my ubuntu setup fails, because it says the CD is not valid for installation. This is because i had to add a signature to make my computer boot it. How can i force setup to accept the CD? [11:50] wubbbi: Here's a link: http://perso.b2b2c.ca/sarrazip/dev/rpm-building-crash-course.html [11:50] Firefishe: thx [11:50] is ext4 stable? [11:50] YES [11:50] ) [11:50] Hmm my card is still not detected [11:50] do i have to have a dns server running to make my computer have a domain like if my machine is "dc", to be "dc.example.com"? [11:50] wubbbi: np [11:51] iceroot: i mean the clock, the exit button etc. [11:51] i just got forced into linux heh [11:51] ActionParsnip: do i need to do anything else to activate the card [11:51] I cant find a Package called "rpmbuild" in synaptic. All Sources are unlocked! [11:51] Ddorda: default-theme? [11:51] yes, on jaunty [11:52] can someone tell me why when i do glxinfo | grep direct i get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/152014/ [11:52] from a user's experience is ubuntu as user friendly as folks have been saying? i am hoping so because i am not a computer genius but windows is complete crap and i have to get away from it [11:52] jca1981: sudo modprobe ath_pci; sudo modprobe ath5k === Fraeon^ is now known as Fraeon [11:52] ubuntu is easier to learn to use than MacOS or Win [11:52] MrKlown: that is your decision [11:52] MrKlown: test it and you will see [11:52] jca1981: then ifconfig should show the device [11:52] hello. I want to give a user sftp account, but I only want the user be able to use sftp and nothing else [11:52] is that possible [11:52] Hi. Is it possible to somehow load EXT3_FS_XATTR as a module? [11:52] jca1981: and sudo iwlist scan will show APs advertising service [11:53] ActionParsnip: FATAL: Module ath_pci not found. [11:53] Ddorda: dont know anything about jaunty and its theme. maybe restart x? to see if it is working then? [11:53] FATAL: Module ath5k not found. [11:53] wubbbi: well, rpm is foreign to debian-based distros based on apt. You'd be better off building rpms using an rpm-based distro, like red hat, fedora, or suse. [11:53] i have no choice but to test it lol i had a legit copy of xp that came with my computer, it was a medialess computer and they refuse to send me a cd of it and my computer all of a sudden asked for activation for some reason and no idea what to do so ubuntu is like my one way of leaving all that behind [11:54] jca1981: if the scan fails, i'd just reboot [11:54] MrKlown: then feel free to download ubuntu and test it with a live-cd or a real installation [11:54] wubbbi: Suse has a slew of utilities and can run via live cd, as well. I'd give it a look. [11:54] iceroot: yes, on jaunty [11:54] yeah ice and i am doing a real installation, i have nothing to lose [11:54] had connection lost [11:54] ActionParsnip: ok ill try to boot my box :D [11:54] hopefully i can burn it onto a dvd instead of a cd because i have no blank cds [11:54] hello guys. any ideas on how to make a user account, that can just login with sftp? [11:54] MrKlown: you can also use a dvd [11:54] and somehow jailed with in a directory [11:55] thank goodness [11:55] cambazz: no because sftp == ssh account with a shell [11:55] i hate to leave my gaming life behind me though lol [11:55] cambazz: i think thats default, you can create a user then check its groups and remove it from what is not necessary [11:55] MrKlown: no, gameing works fine here with ubuntu, half ife 2, serious sam, wow, diablo, star craft, world of goo [11:55] woah [11:56] are you having to use a windows emulator? [11:56] cambazz: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/94 [11:56] MrKlown, you can try activating your copy, I don't remember how thought, probably not the best place you can find someone who knows either [11:56] MrKlown: some games works nativ, world of goo, unreal, quake, doom and so on, others need wine [11:56] !wine | MrKlown [11:56] MrKlown: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [11:56] lol hassa screw windows [11:56] yeah i heard a friend of mine talking about wine [11:56] if u think wine is lame use vmware player...

[11:57] vmware doesn't do 3D graphics , IRRC [11:57] only game i am interested in is WoW [11:57] iceroot, idk but wow seems fine on my vmbox [11:57] MrKlown: wow works absolut fine with wine, i am using it too [11:57] so mayb :P [11:57] i apologize for all the questions i feel like a tiny fish in a big sea [11:58] how do you make something start up at boot in ubuntu?

Can you still download ubuntu hardy heron beta? [11:58] abcdef: beta? [11:59] hi all - I am looking forward to getting 9.04 and am tempted to install the beta now. However I dont really want to rebuild when the final release comes out - I presume the updates released will take the beta upto the full release but are there any disadvantages with this? [11:59] icewaterman: yes [11:59] ok don't get me wrong guys, i 'know' that windows sucks but like what happened to me is i was virus scanning my computer and it just completely crashed and now i can't even get it on lol so i am switching to ubuntu and hoping for the best... i hope my mom's computer that is on xp will work fine on the network setup that i will have to redo [11:59] abcdef: why you need a beta to a version which was released a year ago [11:59] http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_vidsound_d3d_enabling_vm.html [11:59] steveccc: if you install beta you will upgrade seamlessly into final [11:59] how do i make it so i get more disck space? [12:00] i'm just praying my computer's crappy hardware is gonna work because most is built right into the board unfortunately [12:00] steveccc: no disadvantages to that, the beta is beta and has glitches but its gotten a LOT better lately [12:00] alex_: sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean will save some space [12:00] MrKlown, i have ubuntu 8.04 ,an XP pc and a Vista pc they all work fine on the network [12:00] great fore :) [12:01] i've heard linux generally runs smoother... takes less processes [12:01] less memory [12:01] hey, I am trying to copy windows XP from my current hard drive, to one I have in a hard drive enclosure, I am using partimage.Do I need to format the new partition as ntfs, or leave it unformatted for partimage to deal with? [12:01] actionparsnip: thats fine thanks - i know its only a week ago but I want to play with it now so will download the beta - I guess also miss the busy mirrors on release day [12:01] steveccc, wait for the official release if you want your system to last several future distro updates. [12:01] MrKlown: depening on what you are using [12:01] ActionParsnip, did you upgrade or do a fresh install of Jaunty? [12:01] well iceroot, ubuntu for example [12:02] MrKlown: yes, normal gnome without compiz is running with less memory then a os from redmond [12:02] Hassanakevazir: i always do a fresh install anyway - dont like upgrading between versions [12:02] #pinstorm [12:02] night all [12:03] can i play games from my windows folder onto ubuntu? [12:03] i still can't get over ubuntu being free [12:03] heh [12:03] MrKlown: but there are many difference distris, some use only the minimal things (debian, dsl) some using commons things (ubuntu) and some are using/installing to much stuff (suse) [12:03] MrKlown: why [12:03] alex_: yes, with wine [12:03] alex12, depends on the game [12:03] alex_: and ntfs-3g [12:03] i want to play counter strike and i dont want to reinstall everything [12:03] !wine | alex_ you have to install them in [12:03] alex_ you have to install them in: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [12:03] jelly i am used to windows is all and how expensive it is and how crappy it is [12:04] mrwes: i did a clean, but my monitor is crt so didnt give modelines, did a clean install intrepid, setup video then upraded and its fine [12:04] MrKlown, you have come into the light [12:04] yeah i guess linux is jesus [12:04] hopefully [12:04] lol [12:04] MrKlown: there is much free (as in free bear) software around thr world [12:04] ActionParsnip, yah I usually do a clean install when I upgrade [12:04] reimaging a harddrive, do I format the hard drive as the desired file system first, or leave it unformatted? [12:04] yeah i actually use gimp and love it and it's free [12:04] MrKlown: don't believe the fanatics.. no matter what side they are on =) [12:05] Slart: +1 to that [12:05] MrKlown: for almost every commercial software, there is a free alternate [12:05] yeah i realize there are fan boys [12:05] iceroot: to compare quality of ubuntu betas and ubuntu finals for insta [12:05] nce [12:05] i'm a nintendo fanboy and will be till i die [12:05] i've hated the past 2 consoles but that's ok lol [12:06] MrKlown, ppffttt PS3 :P [12:06] 38% done woot... wish i could download faster than 100kb/s lol [12:06] pft mrwes buy meone [12:07] reimaging a harddrive, do I format the hard drive as the desired file system first, or leave it unformatted?

[12:09] abcdef: there is no reason to use a beta [12:10] abcdef: the question most people want the answer for is. why do you need the beta release? [12:10] i really don't [12:10] I would like to see if the beta is stable enough to run. [12:10] jca1981: if you run ifconfig do you see the device [12:10] abcdef: no [12:10] abcdef: there is a big (maybe the biggest bugs in linux history) in hardy beta and normal 8.04 [12:11] ActionParsnip: no [12:11] abcdef: ssl bug [12:11] abcdef: then try the jaunty beta [12:11] is there a 3D GNOME desktop?

[12:11] calwig: compiz [12:11] I mean, I don't think there are bugs like ubuntu LTS beta editing your mp3 files or stuff like that like windows beta. I just wanted to compare. And hardy because hardy is LTS wheras jaunty is just a normal distribution [12:11] calwig: there probably is.. but I don't think there's anything in the repos [12:11] iceroot: thats not using 3d glasses [12:12] iceroot: thanks, i have compiz running [12:12] ActionParsnip: i have not seen his second line [12:12] i mean real 3d viewing like that which you use at the movies [12:12] calwig: i think there wil be with the influx of 3d animated films [12:12] wait a minute lol ubuntu actually has something to allow you to use 3d glasses? well now that is just amazing [12:12] super [12:13] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/152031/ [12:13] the windows-nvidia-driver had something like 3d view (2 color glasses) [12:13] maybe there is a linux driver too?

[12:13] calwig, haven't heard any news of nvidia doing anything to get their glasses to work on linux [12:14] I think the 3d-glasses thingy is handled by the driver.. might be available in the binary driver.. not sure [12:14] Well ok, maybe I really don't need the hardy beta :( [12:14] mynameistux: how you created the image ? [12:14] partimage [12:14] abcdef: yes :) [12:14] hardy beta?

[13:21] TarBar: how did you recover it? [13:21] jrib, how? [13:21] bayani: right click and hit "Remove panel" [13:21] TarBar: ...what? [13:21] It went into trash jrib, I moved it back into /usr [13:22] the "rmove Panel" option is disabled, Knirgh [13:22] the "Remove Panel" option is disabled, Knirgh [13:22] how do you find what your hard disk controller is [13:22] bayani: type "groups" in terminal and paste results [13:23] I've setup my own apt repository and compiled my own php (with updated mysql) debian packages and added them to the repo. Is there any way with aptitude to tell it to use those packages rather than the ones that come with ubuntu? Is there a more appropriate channel for these questions? Thanks [13:23] TarBar: maybe a bug that the permissions got messed up. Anyway there's likely to be more problems. You should setuid the /usr/bin/sudo, but there may be other things with improper permissions that you need to take care of somehow [13:23] k [13:23] is there a way to find out what my hard disk controller is [13:23] pkp9774: increment the version and append a suffix like ~pkp to it [13:23] where can I find gwibber's config files? [13:23] jrib: how do i set the uid? [13:23] jedi06 lspci ? [13:23] jrib: Would I do that prior to compile in the ~/debian/rules file? [13:24] pkp9774: yeah [13:24] adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare [13:24] jrib: cool, thanks [13:24] pkp9774: dch -i for incrementing [13:24] TarBar: chmod u+s FILE [13:24] adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare, Knirgh [13:25] so chmod u+s /usr/bin/sudo? sorry I'm not very good.. [13:25] pkp9774: the other way is to pin your packages but this way when there's a new version from ubuntu, you'll know about it (apt will ask to upgrade to that) and you can rebuild it with your changes again [13:25] TarBar: right. But you are going to have to do that from recovery mode [13:25] bayani: no idea, try go into panel preferences and find for a unlock button [13:26] Ah [13:26] jrib, It won't work doing it from the ctrl alt f1 thing? [13:26] no luck [13:27] TarBar: correct, that will not work === lorenzosu is now known as lorenzosu-bbl [13:27] where do I find the webpage with all the torrent files for jaunty beta?

[13:27] anyone know how i can modify this icon (change it for my own) -> http://obrazok.eu/files/1tki8ib6nohiwu9rlang.jpg [13:28] that doesn't tell me where the webpage is [13:28] Hey jrib, so I've used dch -i to add my comment, do I still need to modify the package name in ~/debian/rules? [13:28] How can I make Amarok my default choice for media player for keyboard shortcut? [13:28] mynameistux: it tells you that you are in the wrong channel however :) [13:28] mynameistux: But it does say that discussion belongs in #ubuntu+1 [13:28] hiii [13:28] pkp9774: append ~pkp to the version [13:28] oh, ok [13:28] Hi there. I'm looking for a Font server ( running Ubuntu 8.10 ) . Witch one could I use ? [13:28] pkp9774: or whatever you want [13:28] still, ok, ty [13:28] Hi, problem in bonding, losses in pinging modems, i followed the howto here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding , my /etc/network/interfaces is here, http://pastebin.com/m6cf17e95 [13:29] pkp9774: it's in the same file you just edited [13:29] wasn't sure if the dch -i did something like that for me [13:29] anyone know how i can modify this icon (change it for my own) -> http://obrazok.eu/files/1tki8ib6nohiwu9rlang.jpg [13:29] mynameistux, in Google search "filetype:torrent jaunty beta" [13:30] I'm having problems sharing a folder between a 8.04 machine and a 8.10 machine. I dont seem to be able to change the permission on the forder i want to share ( it's a fat32 partition). any suggestions? [13:30] Jrib: How do i access the command line thingy from recovery mode? [13:30] alex1: that's the distributor-logo in your icon theme iirc (that's all i know but it should be enough for you to google) [13:30] All it brings up is a GUI [13:30] jrib: thanks [13:30] TarBar: you want a "root shell" when you go to recovery mode. Or see if you can just use a terminal in the gui [13:30] Beta Release Updates don't show in the update manager? [13:31] When I go onto root shell it wants me to enter the root pass or press control D [13:31] mrwes: not by default [13:31] I have a ATI Radeon "POWERCOLOR HD4650 512MB DDR2". What driver is recommended? [13:31] jrib, how do I enable that? [13:31] TarBar: then enter your root pass. You must have set one as that isn't default behavior [13:31] mrwes: #ubuntu+1 [13:31] sigh [13:31] Hmm [13:31] how can I run a correct chroot to change the root dir ? [13:31] I don't think i ever set a root password, Just for the account i'm on now. [13:32] I mean chroot /mnt/tmp /bin/bash isn't enough ? [13:32] TarBar: you could use a liveCD to boot and get access to the HDD, but you sort of stuck if you forgotten you root password [13:32] jrib: I'm wanting to build php 5.2.4 w/ a newer MySQL 5.1.33 Enterprise plugin but I'm not seeing the php5-mysql string in rules, where would that be? [13:32] TarBar: then you'll need to use a live cd. You should read ubottu's link on how to lock the root account again after you've fixed sudo [13:32] Ah shit [13:32] !root > TarBar [13:32] TarBar, please see my private message [13:32] pkp9774: don't know [13:33] Oh [13:33] I never knew.. [13:33] Lol [13:33] hi , i need help with syntek 1135 webcam [13:34] Hello all, Im sure some of you know I use Xubuntu on my old Packard bell with Wubi... [13:34] ehh jrib could you send me that info too? Or can I just do it myself... [13:34] alleykat: what info? [13:34] cause I don't think I ever set a root pass either [13:34]  I'm having problems sharing a folder between a 8.04 machine and a 8.10 machine. I dont seem to be able to change the permission on the folder i want to share ( it's a fat32 partition). any suggestions? [13:34] jrib: so the password IS sudo [13:34] alleykat: you're not supposed to [13:34] TarBar: eh? [13:34] o...k [13:34] recon69: have you set samba up? [13:35] wants you to know: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password [13:35] Hi, problem in bonding, losses in pinging modems, i followed the howto here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding , my /etc/network/interfaces is here, http://pastebin.com/m6cf17e95 [13:35] I was considering putting Ubuntu on my games PC with Wubi, so I can get Compiz on there, Is there anything I should be aware of? [13:35] alleykat: the info I sent TarBar was how to *unset* one [13:35] Oh [13:35] topsyandpip56: why not do a native install? [13:36] Bad experience with partitioning once. [13:36] topsyandpip56: which release? [13:36] !UbuntuStudio [13:36] UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org [13:36] HI ! [13:36] hi, i installed ubuntu but there is no bar at the bottom of the front page. if i minnimize e.g. firefox i cannot open it again as the bar is missing. how do I cange it (its not the resolution I checked that) [13:36] Im gonna be putting on 9.04 when it comes out [13:36] what is the equal software to ACDSe of windows ? === Zaraphrax_ is now known as Zaraphrax [13:37] marie_blubb: compiz problem ? [13:37] jrib: I can't use the sudo command to access the root account. [13:37] TarBar: I know [13:37] marie_blubb: press F11 twice, does that fix it? [13:37] It gives the same setuid error. [13:37] Ah. [13:37] topsyandpip56: They have done a wonderful job with getting the partitioning work. I haven't had a problem with the last 3 releases [13:37] TarBar: then you'll need to use a live cd. You should read ubottu's link on how to lock the root account again after you've fixed sudo [13:37] Marfi: strange, removing the share as root and adding it again as myself seem to work. I'll try again :) [13:37] I used wubi :S [13:37] The bad experience was with Mac OS X Leopard [13:38] recon69: try not to do it as root. if you just installed samba, then it needs to be rebooted [13:38] I wouldnt be so cautious if the livecd still had GParted with it [13:38] topsyandpip56: Would it be an NTFS partition or HFS+ that you would be moving? [13:38] TarBar: ugh... Okay. At the grub menu, hit 'e' and append "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel line [13:38] A NTFS [13:38] topsyandpip56: the livecd has both of those :) === Nobody is now known as Guest35372 [13:38] I coulnt find GParted on there [13:38] hello [13:39] Thankfully I have a GParted Live CD [13:39] topsyandpip56: ntfs support and gparted that is. Take a look under System > Admin > Partition Editor [13:39] ziroday> no F11 doesnt solve it alex1 what is compiz? i also changed the specifications at the screen.... [13:39] topsyandpip56: HFS+ is a pain in the rectum to work with in Linux. (I have to do data recovery with a drive) but the NTFS support is by far more supperior [13:39] marie_blubb: wait, only firefox covers the panels? [13:39] jrib: grub menu is the menu where you select what you want to boot up right? [13:39] topsyandpip56: A ubuntu live disk has become my data recovery disk of choice [13:39] TarBar: yes [13:39] Right, well, I need to back up first. [13:40] Is using this command the best way to make Amarok launch instead of Rhythmbox as default player for my media hotkey? "sudo ln -s /usr/bin/amarok /usr/local/bin/rhythmbox" [13:40] Ok [13:40] And after that i use the u+s command? === lorenzosu-bbl is now known as lorenzosu [13:40] topsyandpip56: I'm not saying that you need to do that. I'm just saying that NTFS support for partitioning is better than something like partition magic [13:40] Morclye: doesn't System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications -> Multimedia work? [13:40] Morclye: not really, then you won't be able to open rhythmbox again unless you remove the symlink or put the rhythmbox file somewhere else [13:41] TarBar: sure. [13:41] Sorry i'm a bit confused. [13:41] ziroday no, all proframms I minnimise go down somewhere but if i click alt and Tab at the same time you can see that they are still there. I want to have a bar where all the programms I minimize can be seen [13:41] topsyandpip56: and the last few installs I have done, I didn't have any problems w/ it [13:41] Okay [13:41] I do that command, then boot up into recovery mood and press on root user? [13:41] marie_blubb: can or can't? [13:41] I would still feel more comfortable using Wubi [13:41] TarBar: you edit the grub entry, then you'll get a prompt to enter the chmod command [13:41] Hi.

Any help? [15:03] <_Brun0_> my laptop uses a celeron 540 processor with 1.8ghz clock. I think its santa rosa platform. How can I know which core duos it support? [15:03] I was being helped before by jribs, he's gone now ): here is my problem: I am unable to use sudo at all. Can't update ubuntu,use synaptic or even type sudo in terminal. It returns sudo: must be setuid root. [15:04] Except: whats the website to link text files to? so i can show you the terminal [15:04] hey all i was hoping some one could point me in the right direction i want to create my own ubuntu based linux distrobution for my home so how would i go about that [15:04] valroadie: I don't know, I'm a newbie myself [15:04] TarBar: what happens when you type su - in a terminal? [15:04] Except: hehe ok [15:04] tt5786, you could always use the ubuntu minimal install and build up from there [15:04] valroadie: I just have the desktop cube working :) [15:04] It asks for a password [15:04] valroadie i use http://rafb.net/paste/ [15:04] valroadie: And nobody wants to help me :( [15:05] i tryed that it took to long is ther ea way to go backwards [15:05] Kharn1: thanks [15:05] TarBar: do you know the password.... should be your password if you are the only user [15:05] I thought root had no password [15:05] ok so [15:05] My password doesn't work. [15:05] TarBar: you need to reboot into single user mode [15:05] Except: http://rafb.net/p/i3s5f456.html look at that and let me know? [15:05] tt5786, what do you mean "go backwards"? [15:05] TarBar: once in single user mode [15:05] mm [15:06] TarBar: type usermod -G admin <> [15:06] start from like ubuntu 8.10 and edit it that way so i can take it back to only have gnome or KDE and no other applications on it [15:06] TarBar: as well type passwd .... then reset the root password so that you know it [15:06] ok [15:06] There, my jaunty beta problem solved [15:06] How do i get into single user mode [15:07] tt5786, just use synaptic. No need to make your own ubuntu based distro [15:07] once complete restart by typing shutdown -r now [15:07] so how do i tell it to uninstall all thing but the GNOME or KDE desktop [15:07] valroadie: Hm, did you install the third party video driver? You need ti to run 3D acceleration [15:07] valroadie: You have an nvidia card? [15:08] Except: yep === dludmann is now known as derlude [15:08] Any help with FSTAB, anyone? I have partitions mapped to drives that are NOT in FSTAB, and want to get rid of the mappings. [15:08] tt5786, look at the section of programs marked "installed" and just remove what you feel that you don't need [15:08] Hey all - ndiswrapper question (kubuntu hardy) - I'm taking a random crack at getting a Netgear WN111 usb wireless network adapter working on my laptop - not super-high-priority since it has builtin 802.11g wireless too but ... I seem to have gotten most of the way just to fall short at the last step ... wondering if someone could point me in the right direction ... [15:08] tyler_d: I am unsure how I get into single user mode [15:08] valroadie: yep to drivers or to nvidia? [15:08] tt5786, of course, some packages are meant to work together so removing one package may cause a whole chain of packages to be removed [15:08] ... so - I have ndiswrapper up and running. ndiswrapper -l reports that the driver is installed and that the device is present [15:09] Hey, on my old Packard Bell (128mb ram, windows 98, 3dfx Voodoo 3) should I use Xubuntu alternate instead of Ubuntu? [15:09] Except: nvidia...im PRETTY sure i have the latest drivers...but idk lol [15:09] TarBar: when you restart and it gives you the option to enter grub .... ie. esc - do that and select "recovery" then press enter [15:09] That brings up a GUI menu for me [15:09] But ... I was expecting a wlanX network adapter to appear, and it hasn't - so I think I'm missing a final step to "make it work" or something :s [15:09] topsyandpip56: i recommend kubuntu [15:09] valroadie: does this help? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-596927.html [15:10] hi, I have a problem with visual effects in ubuntu [15:10] The PC isnt fast enough for it, and I dont like the KDE interface [15:10] tyler_d I will try that.Brb [15:10] ifconfig -a reports that I have my hardwired ethernet port, "lo" plus "wlan0" (my builtin wireless card) and "wmaster" [15:11] So - what should I be doing to make that extra network device appear for my USB wlan adapter? [15:11] sirMajid: Is it a GeForce graphics card? [15:11] tyler_d: Could you help me out with FSTAB? [15:11] so I uninstalled gnome and most of its apps so I could have a more lightweight system. I want to remove gdm and just have a tty on startup. How would I go about this? I've removed gdm before and what happens is that I end up with a tty but everything is stretched and barely viewable. [15:11] topsyandpip56: when I turn it to 'extra', in appearance preferences, it says Desktop Effects could not be enabled [15:12] topsyandpip56: how can I find out what that is? [15:12] ToreadorVampire -> dont have two or more nic cards into same subnet lest you know how to manage your route table [15:12] Except: yes it does! hehe thanks BUT NOW i think i dont have the right drivers for my video installed...im sure ill be back when i find out lol [15:12] Right, well, have you got the restricted drivers enabled? [15:12] valroadie: Ok, good luck! === jan_ is now known as TheRealBigApple [15:12] topsyandpip56: let me try that [15:13] n8tuser> Thanks - that's fine though - once I can see the second wlan device I can disable the first before I attach it to the wifi [15:13] topsyandpip56: let me restart... [15:13] ikonia, i cleared some space outta home to my pendrive ..... and aptoncd got worked [15:13] I used to use a GeForce 4 MX 440 drivers for my GeForce 7, LOL [15:13] Hi, is there anybody here that has ever succesfully created a shared directory for use over SFTP without changing the global umask and keeping permissions set to at most 770 (for directories) and 660 (for files)? [15:14] what is the difference between sudo apt-get install and aptitude install ? [15:14] sudo gives root permissions [15:14] where is the channel for Florida Ubuntu users? [15:15] !warty [15:15] Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) was the first release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30, 2006. See !eol for more details. [15:15] no... difference between apt-get and aptitude install ? [15:15] Cool or what? [15:15] Except: OK so another problem hah seems that the hardware isnt even recognizing that i have a video card at all :-/ System->Admin->Hardware Drivers only comes up with my wireless card...no video :O any ideas? [15:15] It lasted until 06! [15:15] Can anyone help me with FSTAB and NTFS partitions? [15:15] Kimi: aptitude is basically an easier to use version of apt. [15:15] Chowder, how ?? [15:15] Except, install ntfs-progs [15:15] valroadie: not a clue... I really just installed Ubuntu three days ago. I'm sorry, wish I could help. [15:16] Chowder, i want to know the "diffenerce" [15:16] *difference [15:16] Kimi, google is your friend :) [15:16] chowder why not yahoo ? :P === gnu is now known as Guest31936 [15:16] Chowder: I have. It doesn't list any drives. Fstab seems to be correct, but it's mounting a partition that is not listed in fstab [15:16] google > yahoo [15:16] google > god [15:16] I'm compiling a server from source. The server has a /etc/init.d/serverName script. How do I give a user permissions to start/stop the server? [15:16] Except, have you tried manually editing the fstab? [15:16] dsyncd, B-) [15:17] Except: hehe np man :) its nice to finally meet someone new to this haha [15:17] Kimi, aptitude has a superior dependency management (i think i read that in its manpage a few months ago). [15:17] benc via sudoers file [15:17] Chowder: yes, it's listed /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda3 but in Ubuntu /dev/sda1 is being mounted, which is conflicting with the others. [15:17] Except, do sudo blkid [15:18] n8tuser: I edit it as su with gedit for example? [15:18] and find the UUID for the partition you want [15:18] Actium, in some site , its said that aptitude gets all the dependanceries for the software along with the software and aptget doesnt.... is this coorrect ? [15:18] then use that info to edit the fstab [15:18] that's not correct. [15:18] benc gksudo gedit === ruben is now known as Guest70392 [15:18] Chowder: I have. As I said, /dev/sda1 is NOT in the fstab, but still being mounted [15:19] Kimi: no, both apt-get and aptitude automatically get the dependencies. Aptitude automatically remove uneeded dependencies whilst with apt-get you have to do apt-get autoremove [15:19] Actium, can apt-get install the dependencaries too ? [15:19] Except, that's probably FUSE automounting it then [15:19] ziroday, thanks very much [15:19] Except, is there a reason that you don't want it mounted? [15:19] aptitude has a superior dependency checking/fulfilling/whatever-framework. yet apt-get does do dependency management. [15:19] n8tuser: thanks. I'll read about it [15:19] what is the command to uninstall a installed software ? [15:19] i.e. it installs dependencies, too. [15:19] Kimi: "man apt-get" [15:19] !uninstall > Kimi [15:19] Kimi, please see my private message [15:19] !apt-get > kimi (kimi, see the private message from ubottu) [15:20] Chowder: Yes, it's the recovery partition of my backup system, also it keeps being mounted to /media/C_Driver, which is where the C_Drive is. How do I prevent FUSE from mounting it? [15:20] LjL, i think i got from !uninstall the command for it... from that link at the end [15:20] thanks [15:21] Except, there is a configuration file that you must edit but its been a while since I've done it. Best bet is to google FUSE config or something like that [15:21] also, try posting in the forums [15:21] LjL, when i run the man command , how do i close and get "Krishna@ubuntu$" again ? [15:21] q [15:21] Kimi: hit Q [15:21] ok [15:21] hello [15:22] LjL, thanks.... ("man man" is also good :P ) [15:22] Chowder: how do I find out if FUSE is installed? [15:22] which fuse [15:22] Except, its installed by defauly [15:22] *default [15:22] i wanted to know what the expansion of "sudo" is,.... like cat for concatenate [15:22] *want to know [15:22] but to find out if any package is installed you can use synaptic to find the package [15:23] Chowder: Ok... what is it for? [15:23] Woah, i just hacked my mac windows, now my chatapp has bent so I cant see what im typing! [15:23] LOL [15:23] !sudo > Kimi [15:23] Kimi, please see my private message [15:23] Chowder: I *am* googling it but it doesn't seem very clear [15:23] FUSE=Filesystem in USErspace [15:23] tyler_d doesn't want to work with that command ): [15:23] allows for automounting partitions [15:23] !sudo dosnt show the expansion of sudo.... plz its funny my question is.... but i need to know. [15:23] there may be a blacklist or something for partitions that are not to be mounted [15:24] hi, is there any way to configure the key shortcuts in gnome which have more functionality than the default configurator in "preferences"? I'd like to change the "aplication launcher" to "gmrun", give a shortcut to some aplications and give a shortcut to virtual desktops 1-6 and not just 1-2. [15:24] Hello, can you help me. I want to start a second X server on the same user acount. [15:25] I have a problem where I can't use Sudo, It says sudo:must be setuid root. I can't get any updates,use synaptic etc. [15:25] buenA [15:25] i am trying to install kqemu in ubunto but gives me this http://rafb.net/p/LYicuT27.html message what should i do ? [15:25] buenass [15:25] hi all [15:25] can anyone know the expandsion of sudo :( ? sorry, this is not a good question.... but i want to know (bcoz of my curiousity) [15:26] TarBar: did you restart already?

[15:28] TarBar: then password... then type without quotes "chown root:root /usr/bin/sudo && chmod 755 /usr/bin/sudo" [15:28] Nope, only a alternate [15:28] What's the difference between sudo and gksudo? [15:28] oh I see [15:28] theres no live cd? [15:28] Except: gk is for graphical without breaking ... stuff [15:28] really? [15:29] Nope [15:29] Look on the website === Whipper__ is now known as _Whipper [15:29] chown: changing ownership of `/usr/bin/sudo': Operation not permitted [15:29] tyler_d: is it always safer to use gksudo?

I'm sorry... my bad [15:30] http://ubuntustudio.org/downloads [15:30] ok [15:30] Except: this is only for the purpose of graphics.. ie, gui run as root [15:30] ok so when i go to system->admin->hardware my video card doesnt show..only my wireless card. ALSO when i go to, system->Pref->appearance->visual effects and put it on extra...it says desktop effects cannot be enabled [15:30] Except: if you sudo a gui application it will break your box [15:30] well I guess we can make one with cloop [15:30] tyler_d: Ok, so if it invokes something graphical, like gedit, use gksudo, if not, like mount, just use sudo? [15:31] but it wouldnt be official [15:31] Except: you gotter [15:31] If I put Ubuntu v9.04 on a machine that now has v8.04 will it just upgrade or will I lose programs and have to reinstall them?

[16:00] deostroll: apt-get install build-essentials [16:00] deostroll: well, GCC is the default compiler, but you got to install it [16:00] tyler_d: english plz :) [16:00] deostroll: no [16:00] deostroll: the answer to your question is no.... [16:00] deostroll: The package name is build-essential, that includes everything you need to start compiling things. [16:01] deostroll: you have to install them... done by typing .... apt-get install build-essentials [16:01] tyler_d: http://pastebin.com/d63f9e3b5 [16:01] tyler_d: build-essential, no s. === mafsi is now known as mafsi`away [16:01] get the picture...thanx [16:01] my bad ty Pici [16:01] hi guys - at ~ the half of the backup PARTIMAGE gives me an error like "block 25983...... unreadable" - what can i do? tnx... [16:02] TarBar: for a complete list of all installed packages in a format that you can use for apt-get install, use this command: for a in `dpkg-query -l | grep ii | awk '{print $2}'`; do echo -n $a; done [16:02] TarBar: it's ugly, but it works :) [16:02] TarBar: ok the problem is that your user owns the /usr folder... not good [16:02] TarBar: hopefully you won't need that though :) [16:02] TarBar: you need to do "chown root:root /usr" from single user mode [16:03] I'm mounting a drive using "UUID=d8e60513-5363-41ce-8ed0-201f5bd290a2 /home/mec/data ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,errors=continue,data=ordered " but it's mounting as owned by root, how do i get it to mount as user mec? [16:03] TarBar: how did you manage to do that? [16:03] Thanks Ghoti_ [16:03] tyler_d let's just say it kinda ended up in the trash and needed to be restored [16:03] Lol [16:03] TarBar: lol [16:03] hi peolploe [16:03] searching a way to convert ext3 to ext2 i found a thread linking to http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/ext2toext3.htm#_three2two. Why do i have to make a new initrd when converting the root filesystem? [16:03] How do I get into single mode again? [16:03] sorry. [16:04] linwin: the only difference between ext3 and ext2 is the journaling [16:04] I added myself to www-data group, and did "chown www-data:www-data /var/www" and "chmod -R 775 /var/www" but I still can't create under the directory without sudo? What am I missing? [16:04] TarBar: its ok... restart and press esc to enter grub.. then select recovery [16:04] fl0w: you might need "man newgrp" [16:04] That brings up a GUI, which option? [16:04] Is there a flowchart program for creating a logic flow that will run the program? There is one for windows called "raptor" [16:05] recovery [16:05] Also start a back routine: this is from the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 [16:05] corey: there are flowcharting programs - but you're looking for one that will basically let you write a program *and execute it* by just making a flowchart? [16:05] Ghoti_: I know. and i have to save space and save the ssd disc. so i want to convert ext3 in 2. i know that i will have to update fstab. but in the information on the page they rebuild the initrd. === Guest25064 is now known as vigo [16:05] 8.04 - system drives have been renamed to /dev/sdd.../dev/sde instead of sda and sdb. Is there any way I can change that back *without* restarting? [16:06] tyler_d: Yes I hit recovery but then after loading it brings up a gui with a blue background with many options [16:06] at the half of the backup PARTIMAGE gives me an error like "block 25983...... unreadable" - what can i do? tnx... [16:06] linwin: I don't know why rebuilding the initrd would be needed; just change ext3 to ext2 in your /etc/fstab and you should be golden [16:06] feels like i've tried everything. can't install ubuntu from my usb hd. these last tries it just continues on to windows 7 even though I open the bootmanager and choose to boot with the usb [16:07] TarBar: looking to get into a console session [16:07] LjL: I know that it sounds stupid but, I am using one on windows right now. You dont write code in it, just logic operations like math, equal to and < > as well as setting variables and making decisions [16:07] ah [16:07] raven: Is that block encrypted? or maybe a bad sector? [16:07] there is no visible option for console [16:07] corey: yes, ok, i wasn't sure i understood. not sure there is such a thing, but let me search... sounds "interesting" [16:07] corey: Lego programming? Who knew? :) [16:07] Ghoti: thanks. i was unsure cause of this homepage, if you say that is ok, i will do. Thanks a lot! [16:08] linwin: my pleasure [16:08] TarBar: so you restart the computer.... then when it says press esc for grub options... you do that. and select recovery from the list? [16:08] Ghot_: What do you mean? [16:08] I'm having some problems with netatalk. I've had it working for months now but after doing a "rm -rf *" on one of the volumes I mount using netatalk it won't let me mount it anymore. Any ideas on what could be wrong? [16:08] TarBar: I think you are in the bios menu....... [16:08] yes tyler_d [16:08] hmmm [16:08] TarBar: what are your options? [16:08] LjL: Thanks, that did it. though I didn't really understand what it did? Basically a relog would have the same effect? [16:08] Um [16:08] Fix X server root session [16:08] fl0w: maybe, i'm not completely sure [16:09] vigo i do not know... i tested the hdd twice and that does not find any error [16:09] k. [16:09] ah I'd have to go back onto it to remember.. [16:09] what means this error output ? -> cp: omitting directory <- [16:09] TarBar: go back to that menu.... .... unfamiliar with that in Single user mode [16:10] alex1: when you 'cp /source/* /dest/' it omits the directory '..'. It's just letting you know [16:10] raven: Then it sounds like it may be an encrypted system file, if the sectors and blocks all show as good, then that is a sys file, I think. how large is the block? [16:10] Ghoti_: i want copy paste some thing to some directory [16:10] What shell does Ubuntu use? Eh Bourne shell [16:11] toby bash? [16:11] toby: bash by default. sh is linked to dash though. [16:11] toby: pretty sure its bourne.... [16:11] toby: by default, the Bourne Again Shell, aka 'bash' [16:11] LjL: It did. [16:11] bash is bourne [16:11] ? [16:11] TarBar: are you at the menu again?? [16:12] toby: yes [16:12] toby: bash = Bourne Again SHell [16:12] ah ok, how do thoes two names link to the same thing then? [16:12] eg why does it have two names? [16:12] generic doubt: is apt-get a command unique to debian-based os-s? [16:12] toby: What two names? [16:13] deostroll: specific to synaptic [16:13] deostroll: sorry aptitude [16:13] problem: on main panel "Places" Home and Desktop entries return: 'could not open location ... No application is registered as handling this file' this may be the result of failed attempt installing OO3. How to fix this? [16:13] deostroll: generally, yes. But apt can be installed on other systems- there's apt-rpm for example [16:13] what is a nice shell script for ubuntu to learn to automate commands to be used with cron?

No application is registered as handling this file' this may be the result of failed attempt installing OO3. How to fix this? anyone? [16:24] can anyone recommend me a decent irc client? LostIRC is too simple... [16:24] dont like xchat? [16:24] when running sh scriptname.sh - Is this a "bash script"? [16:24] KhaaL: try asking in #ubuntu-bots [16:24] toby: Yes. [16:24] LjL: I tried but, it didnt work. [16:24] KhaaL: How about irssi? [16:24] yann2, tried xchat gtk and it didnt cut it :) [16:25] grawity, is bash the main scripting language used then? worth learning? [16:25] xchat alone neither? [16:25] I didnt know xchat-gtk was still benig developped [16:25] grawity, well, i could use it but i prefer to keep my terminals seperate from irc, or i will accidently type commands in them! [16:25] toby: technically, it's a shell script. it's only really a 'bash' script if the first line is #!/bin/bash as opposed to '#!/bin/sh', '#!/bin/tcsh', et cetera [16:25] hello i am using samba to connect my ubuntu client with my windows network. i mounted a folder which is on the main harddrive as samba exchange drive for windows. i distributed the rights for this folder and each time i access the drive i have to give the user name and a password out of security reasons. now the strange thing: recently something or somewhat caused this drive that i dont have to give the name and the password to access it. i [16:25] rebooted the client and everything was like i was used to it to work. if anybody has an explanation i would appreciate why i didnt have to give my name and password to access the drive. this happens once in a while everytime. [16:25] KhaaL: Keep irssi on a separate window. [16:25] Ghoti_, So whats the difference between a sh and bash script? [16:26] toby: bash is a newer version of 'sh', with more features.

I have an nvidia geforce 5500 [16:26] how to change urdu fonts in ubuntu 8.10? i cant see the urdu font in www.bbcurdu.com, its scrable, need help thanks [16:26] toby, Ghoti_, in some cases /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/bash - in which case, bash will try and run the script in POSIX mode [16:26] toby: different shells have different capabilities and syntax. csh and tsch are very C-like, for example [16:26] grawity, dont underestimate my ability to mix windows looking similiar ;-) [16:26] I asked my ruby programming professor if I could get extra credit if I wrote a OS in ruby that overthrew Microsoft and he said no.

[16:29] ok can someone tell me how to get the glx extensions [16:29] ?

[16:53] hi [16:53] Zenoxio: that means most likely that there is a problem with the CD drive on the second machine, or an incompatability between it and the brand of CD-R media you use. [16:53] does anyone know how i can load up all the apps that weren't closed during shutdown can be restarted? [16:53] trupheenix, you'll need to partition the device into two first .. right now /dev/sdb is just one big partition. [16:53] celthunder: so off to the mount docs and I dont call that easy [16:54] Zenoxio: let the test complete. Often errors like that are correctable, or it can work just by trying to read the block again. Even if your console gets flooded with those messages, it may complete okay.

You obviosuly have several computers.....are you in a situation where, if everything goes bad, you can just burn another disk and try again?

[16:59] woops, sry [16:59] joe-mac advertise somewhere else [16:59] looking for ideas on desktop servers for ubuntu (heard of the toaster sized machines?) [17:00] thrillERboy: Yes, for the most part. [17:00] don't need a video card. just looking for a fast machine to remote into [17:00] thrillERboy: Yes if you do it right [17:00] celthunder: you renting any space on your face? === recon69 is now known as recon69|away [17:00] <_pHI_> hi, how do i force an installation of a package without its dependencies? i.e. i only want to install python-tables without the automatic installation of libhdf5, for example. [17:00] Zenoxio: can the system boot off of USB? you might try that. [17:01] mheath: I would copy all the files on the CD to a USB drive? [17:01] _pHI_, you shouldn't be able to do that .. infact I don't think you can without leaving the dpkg database in a broken state [17:02] <_pHI_> unop: erm, really? [17:02] Zenoxio: missed the start of this is it that the CD won't boot? If so what is error message? [17:02] _pHI_: as unop said, this is a BAD, BAD idea. The only way I can think of, though, is to download the .deb and use dpkg to force install it. [17:02] _pHI_, also, if python-tables depends on libhdf5 to function - what's the point of installing it ? [17:02] _pHI_: dpkg command has a lot of force and override options (see man dpkg) that would allow you to do that. [17:02] mheath, bad idea even suggesting that .. [17:02] <_pHI_> unop: because i compiled a newer (backwards compatible) version in /usr/local/lib [17:03] knobcottage: I did "Check CD for Defects" on one computer and it had no errors (so the disc was burned okay). On another, I am getting errors like: exception emask, Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 216639 === Abracad4br4 is now known as Abracadabra [17:03] mheath: yeah, you can force it, but then it will try to fix it or bug you with every other think you do until you fix it [17:03] stew: indeed. Thats why I prefaced it with "this is a BAD, BAD idea." :P [17:04] _pHI_: have a look at the equivs package. or consider packinging your newer version [17:04] _pHI_, if you compiled a newer version - you could have made a debian package out of it - with fewer dependencies then (probably) [17:04] Zenoxio: Mmmm possibly beyond what I thought was the problem [17:04] does anyone know if the RC has been released yet? [17:04] sorry [17:04] <_pHI_> ok [17:04] how to select write speed and multisession option in basero cd burner [17:04] Is there any way to speed up browsing of https sites, i have one specifically that times out, often. [17:05] Can linux box somehow be used to track children internet usage(make it a dns that takes record of urls?) [17:06] grantgm_: Try checking out distrowatch.com. They'll have a post when the RCs hit [17:07] cowbellemoo: cool. thanks, [17:07] Cool. [17:08] ubotwo: part [17:08] http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/810rc [17:08] hi [17:09] why is ubuntu using emu10k1 instead of emu10k2 for Audigy sound cards? [17:09] woops. [17:09] Lartza_: You could look into the dansguardian net filtering package. http://dansguardian.org/ [17:09] grantgm_: according to (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule) it should drop today [17:11] cowbellemoo: yea, thats why I was asking [17:11] But my windows box is not behind the linux bow(the one windows i want to track) [17:11] cowbellemoo: but it seems it hasn't happened yet [17:12] This is another test. [17:12] cowbellemoo: nothing on the announce list or the testing page yet. Guess I'll have to be patient [17:12] Lartza_: you're going to either HAVE to put all of the computers behind an appropriate gateway with parental controls, or install parental control software on all the computers your kids are going to be using. [17:12] anyone know of a tool to easilly draw arrows, text on an image. I'd like to annotate my screenshots using something simpler than GIMP or Inkscape. There are a LOT of tools that do this in Windows... arg. [17:12] keystr0k: openoffice.org Draw? [17:12] mheath, yeah... that works okay. [17:12] mheath: I was thingking about setting dns server on windows pointing to the linux, which would then resolve the domains and track the requests === evilGary is now known as spongebob === spongebob is now known as Gary [17:13] keystr0k: anything usefull in Add/REmove PRograms search for Paint or Draw? === Juje is now known as Juje007 [17:13] hi all [17:14] Lartza_: You certainly could point the windows systems to linux as the DNS. But you get more control and information by pointing the windows browser to squid on linux as a web proxy. [17:14] mheath, didn't thinkt o look there! heh. thanks [17:14] Well I looked into squid and the configuration sounded complicated :( [17:15] Hello im new to ubuntu and having a problem uninstalling things. Whenever I use apt-get purge wine it errors attepting to compile wx2-8-gtk-unicode/wx/tools/Editra... And it gives me a big block of text. [17:15] Can someone tell me what the text means if I email it to them, and how to solve the problem? [17:15] Lartza_: yeah, you could do that. You wouldn't even necessarily need DNS server software thats designed for parental controls; you'd just need to set its logging to be verbose enough that you see all requests. But, stroyan's idea is better anyway. [17:15] Hello, after updating from 8.04 to 8.10, a warning icon appeared above the network connection icon, and clicking it revealed a messsage like [17:15] "device is unmanaged" [17:15] I found this thread about it: [17:15] http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1028541 [17:16] And did what it suggested [17:16] I'm using Ubuntu 8.10. I'm having problems getting my optical drive to work. When I insert a blank or a disc with data (dvd-rw, cd-r, cd-rw, cd+r, etc.) the drive opens after a few seconds. I have tried: sudo mount /dev/cdrw /media/cdrom0 sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 and sudo mount /dev/dvd /media/cdrom0 I also added these to /etc/modules: libata ata_piix piix fstab and other info --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/152189/ [17:16] jascase901: most people aren't going to accept random emails. Try posting it to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ instead and linking to it in here. [17:16] Now the only problem is that I lost the DNS settings, and can't figure out how to set them manually [17:16] mheath: ok hold on [17:17] anyone know about LyX and Farsi/Arabic? [17:17] I also rebooted after making the changes to /etc/module but still no luck getting drive load media [17:18] mheath: heres the paste bin http://paste.ubuntu.com/152203/ [17:18] hi chaps - anyone installed ubuntu successfully on the new mac pro? [17:18] who knows how can i ignore a person in pidgin? [17:18] nmproblem: right click on network manager, and go to Edit Connections. Select your connection under the appropriate tab, and select Edit. Go to the Ipv4 tab and adjust as necessary. [17:18] I found forum posts that suggested setting the DNS in /etc/resolv.conf, but that gets overwritten at boot [17:19] nmproblem: set it as you like, then sudo chattr +a /etc/resolv.conf [17:19] So how do I set squid to log url requests? [17:19] I think wines partly uninstalled, but it still offers for me to run things with wine, and the apt-X still gives me the wx python error. [17:19] mheath: I did that, but it doesn't work. [17:19] ? [17:19] someone help me? [17:20] nmproblem: did you log out and back in again? [17:20] mheath: it says: "Updating connection failed: nm-ifupdown-connection.c.76 - connection update not supported (read-only).." [17:20] mheath: I mean that it doesn't accept the setting, refuses to update it [17:20] hmmm. [17:20] one moment. [17:20] Lartza_: Have you asked in #squid ? [17:20] OHH! [17:21] Thanks :) [17:21] mheath: I need this to be a system wide setting, for all users. The machine has a static IP and communicates with the outside through a proxy. DHCP doesn't work.

[20:37] PlasmaSheep, you've just discredited 90% of all linux distros then .. and as if almost to say, that those 90% are not worth anything [20:37] i didn't want to write terminal...i meant synaptic [20:37] unop: I didn't say they're not worth anything [20:38] unop: I just said that I wouldn't want to install them. [20:38] deuonderer: ah ok [20:38] klinac: reinstall flashplugin-nonfree [20:38] makes more sense ^^ [20:38] PlasmaSheep: i think its great, really snappy [20:39] ActionParsnip: You are entitled to your opinion. [20:39] PlasmaSheep, well well, but why not? fluxbuntu is just ubuntu with a different window manager .. just not endorsed by canonical [20:39] I managed to install ubuntu via the alternate install CD but am uable to get anything besides black on either of two monitors, any ideas? [20:40] unop: I don't have a very good method of ascertaining its quality and making sure that it won't hurt my system (other than a few people on IRC) [20:40] nn123645: turn the monitors on? ;) [20:40] PlasmaSheep: indeed, but as i said, it does exist [20:40] Sh3r1ff: I'm able to see the loading animations [20:40] ActionParsnip: Yes. It's hard to argue with that/ [20:40] but after that they both go into power save [20:40] and neither one of them displays a picture [20:40] FreeFull: Do you know what might have caused this? [20:41] nn123645: was just joking ;) [20:41] in recovery mode they both work [20:41] nn123645: in recovery mode, try disabling compiz === wusha is now known as Sheepherd [20:41] PlasmaSheep: I was debugging gdm [20:41] PlasmaSheep: Either that, or the driver upgrade [20:42] FreeFull: You might try reinstalling GDM.

I'm trying to force a static IP by editing /etc/network/interfaces with the appropriate settings, then I tried ifconfig eth0 down/up and /etc/init.d/networking restart....still gets DHCP...any ideas please? [20:42] FreeFull: I also have an intel card, and the drivers work fine. [20:42] PlasmaSheep: xorg is broken independently of gdm [20:42] PlasmaSheep: I'm using drivers from the xorg-edgers repository due to a bug in the past [20:42] Brack10, and what are the contents of your interfaces file? with respect to this interface? [20:42] FreeFull: It might be worth a try to reconfigure X. [20:43] how comes i cant access to /etc/modules even when logged in as superuser?

Something to do with runlevels/file ownership/other confusing unix stuff? [20:55] I'm trying to install Jaunty beta. During the install, it has started now, and is now trying to open a seemingly infinite number of "File Managers". Is this a known issue & what can I do ?

[20:56] Brack10: I don't think the shell that starts the script is capable of interpreting \a [20:56] Brack10: Use an external program to make the beep [20:56] FreeFull: I also tried the beep program. nothing [20:56] i am planing on adding d-link air (dwl-520) pci card to my desktop.

[21:13] What's strange that even as I use the framebuffer drivers for X, glxinfo | grep direct still displays Yes [21:14] deuonderer: part of the linux security/stability is from the fact that an "ordinary" user cannot modify crucial parts of the system, root on the other hand has the permissions to all and everything in the whole system.

[21:31] darmou: also look at /var/log/daemon (as opposed to /var/log/messages) [21:31] Ahh rpc mount export: RPC: Authentication error; why = Failed (unspecified error) [21:31] Kimbeau: Try uninstalling PulseAudio so only Alsa runs [21:32] dooner the "rpc mount export: RPC: Authentication error; why = Failed (unspecified error)" was from showmount -e [21:32] ... and one device when sl is active and media playing -- "gecko" [21:32] dakvertex: will mplayer do both the burning and converting for me? [21:32] is security.ubuntu.com down? I cant install anything getting errors about that host [21:32] anyone ever have the problem? [21:32] FreeFull: afaik its a new setting in xorg to prevent accidental loss of sesions :-), the readme of another distro said to press the keys twice but i don't want to try right now [21:33] Baatti: I guess just the conversion part [21:33] darmou: have you tried following this.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto (I use opensolaris with ZFS as my main file servers @ home, so not 100% on how ubuntu/linux's NFS works... ) [21:34] darkvertex: ok, once its converted, can I just burn it to a dvd disc normally? [21:34] 90.155.172.56 my site [21:35] Hmm. Wants to remove ubuntu-desktop when I try removing pulseaudio! [21:35] sajemha: not here please [21:35] ok ) [21:35] Baatti: possibly, once you have convert the movie, you can burn it using tools such as Brasero [21:35] Kimbeau, that's just a meta package [21:35] you can remove it [21:35] Kimbeau: ubuntu-dekstop is just there to be dependent on all the ubuntu stuff. It itself has no other purpose [21:35] desktop* [21:35] darkvertex: ok, thank you [21:35] I put the Ubuntu CD compiled for PPC into the notebook and turned it on. It just booted OSX as normal. Rawr. [21:35] Baatti: np [21:36] boringpackets: hold down C when booting (assuming tis a mac?) [21:36] Yes it's a mac, let me try that. [21:36] boringpackets: There is a key sequence you have to press to boot from CD on macbooks [21:36] sajemha: this channels is strictly about Ubuntu support. please use #ubuntu-offtopic for anything else [21:37] Is there anybody here that can help me with Squid and Webmin? [21:37] OK. Going for a reboot... [21:37] !webmin | ahorner [21:37] ahorner: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [21:38] !ebox [21:38] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [21:38] It booted, but when I hit enter it says "Please wait, loading kernel . . . then the error "read failed" [21:38] oh. [21:38] am i pretty much screwed? [21:38] and ahorner, with squid you will get better support in #networking [21:38] i am officially bunfuzzled , lol [21:38] boringpackets: bad media? is the cd good? [21:38] boringpackets: did you burn it on slowest speed, etc... [21:38] guntbert: I'm not having any problems with webmin though. Is it really nessescary to change something that isn't broken? [21:39] Yeah, and I verified. [21:39] boringpackets: Tried a different kernel? [21:39] does someone know a guide to setup multi pointer X server in intrepid? [21:39] dooner I folowed the instructions and still get "rpc mount export: RPC: Authentication error; why = Failed (unspecified error)" on showmount -e [21:39] Oh crap this isn't a liveCD. Is this going to erase the OSX 9 thats installed on it or will it automatically set up a dual boot? [21:39] boringpackets: It will ask you [21:40] c_korn: multipointer? [21:40] Oh great. I did that command, I cant remember exactly what it was, something "video=ifonly" does that mean I wont get any graphics acceleration? [21:40] darmou: does /var/log/daemon show you anything else? [21:40] ahorner: I don't use it on ubuntu - so no advice beside "I like to stay within the supported realms (with ubuntu at least)" [21:40] dooner: yes, to have multiple pointers in X (i.e. with multiple mice connected) [21:40] How to properly disable Composite in 9.04 ? [21:41] dooner no nothing at all [21:41] guntbert: haha. do you know anything about squid though that you might be able to help me? [21:41] c_korn: ahh gotcha, Sorry no idea.. [21:41] darmou: odd. make sure the nfs server and portmap are both running [21:41] ahorner: a little, lets switch to ##networking [21:41] dooner: no problem [21:42] does someone else know how to use multiple mouse pointers in X? [21:42] c_korn: AFAIK, uou need a special version of X that supports multiple inputs. [21:43] dooner here is what is running http://pastebin.com/m20a65320 [21:43] tengo una pregunta [21:43] dooner that was from rpcinfo -p [21:43] How is it possible that I just booted to the CD, and it's telling me it cant find any driver for the CDROM drive to install.

[21:47] sharperguy: uhm, that's not trivial afaik. you can use aptitude's ~O option to match everything coming from a given "source", but that's not the same thing as the repository [21:48] LjL, hmm... Just looking for an easy way to get rid of KDE4.2 before the upgrade to Jaunty [21:48] hello === GunbladeIV is now known as GunbladeIV- [21:49] sharperguy: but i think that somehow you can check for local-only packages (packages you have installed but that are not in the list), so you could remove the relevant repository from sources.list and then check that... but uhm, not entirely sure how. [21:49] sharperguy: oh, that should be doable in another way, moment [21:49] sharperguy, it would be easy to do from sypantic [21:49] hey guys, how do i upgrade from jaunty beta to jaunty rc?

[21:51] it''ll show you one category per repo [21:51] how to update helix to play "ram" === stylzP is now known as stylesp [21:51] sharperguy: uhm there was a factoid about removing kde 4 but i can't find it now - it's probably been removed because it was only really important for some beta. but try asking #kubuntu, i think some people know how to remove kde 4 effectively there [21:51] then you check all packages on the specific repo [21:51] juaco: and "source" in Synaptic is the actual repository, not the same "source" that aptitude means? [21:52] Does anyone know how to connect to a mobile network after an update. I have 8.10, my TMN (pt) works fine in live and on first boot. After that I get "Your network connection has been disconnected" when I try to go online.

(i don't have synaptic) === stylzP is now known as stylesp [21:53] LjL maybe it comes by default only in gnomish ubuntu === MadMax is now known as Guest17005 [21:54] juaco: yes, that's the issue, and i'm on kde - although i have to say i only really use apt-get and aptitude anyway [21:54] still, good to know [21:55] ok I'll try to sum my big problem up I got some trouble with KWin and Compiz as window managers I set KWin as default manager, but at restart, Compiz is always set back as default window manager, and I have no idea why. and it's causing me some trouble (no top bar on all windows) anyone an idea? === stylesp is now known as stylzP === splicer is now known as splicer_afk [21:55] I tried an several other channels, but nobody really knew [21:55] !away > splicer_afk [21:55] splicer_afk, please see my private message [21:55] on #kwin V13 told me that kwin is your window manager but instead, compiz is run most probably /usr/bin/kwin is either a link to compiz or a shell script ask in a #ubuntu or #kubuntu channel [21:55] so here I am [21:55] Whoever suggested uninstalling PulseAudio -- Thank you! All fixed. I have mixed audio again :-) [21:56] sharperguy: why do you want to remove all the KDE 4.2 packages before upgrading?

I'm trying to PXEInstall Ubuntu Intrepid onto a Laptop with a dodgy internal DVD Drive.

[21:57] Problem: configuring graphics settings/drivers for Acer Aspire 7720 laptop. All worked fine before I attempted to extend onto a second monitor and now I can only run in 800x600. Trying to configure using displayconfig-gtk but no success so far. Help? [21:57] i wish someone could help me figure out my problem, lol [21:57] tsimpson, Partly because I'm not using it anymore anyway, and partly because it might cause issues with the upgrade [21:58] LjL, Ok thanks [21:58] Alsa doesnt show any mixers in wineconfiguration, is there a way to fix that? [21:59] sharperguy: it won't cause any issues with the upgrade, [21:59] hey guys... I think I have a serious problem... the sound volume all of a sudden became very low and this is happening both in windows and ubuntu! what could be my problem? [21:59] sharperguy: but, basically you'd need to remove all KDE4 packages for it to work [21:59] Waldir: sound card / speaker -- sounds hardware related to me [21:59] waldir: hardware problem? === Guest83526 is now known as auk [22:00] Bodsda: Arminius yes, I suppose, but why all of a sudden? it was all working well until earlier today [22:00] sharperguy: so you'd want to purge/remove kdelibs5 and kdelibs5-data, then reinstall kubuntu-desktop (if you want the default Kubuntu install) [22:00] what could have caused it? [22:00] i need someone to check my fstab and mtab .. i cant unmount my hdd .. problem started when i installed a new hdd .. i formatted it to ext3, when i restarted it found the drive but only let root (owner) rw .. so i got some help from #ubuntu and made some changes to my fstab and i was able to write to that drive .. thing is now i cant unmount it .. so can someone look at my fstab and mtab coz those are the only two i tweaked and help me fix this .. [22:00] Waldir: sometimes old hardware just fails, or they may have been overworked [22:01] Waldir: maybe accidentally swapped line-out, spk-out ports? [22:01] sharperguy: that should remove (almost) everything, you can do "dpkg -l |grep '4:4.2' to see if there are any KDE packages left === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander [22:01] juaco: how? [22:02] vegombrei: pastebin both your fstab and mtab, then someone might be able to help [22:02] some cards come with amplified/non amplified jacks === NCommander is now known as mcasadevall [22:02] Is there an application that will detect and apply settings for graphics cards/displays.

I am just setting up my ubuntu and want to install the windows-driver for the fritzBox WLAN stick (because the linux driver is not supported for 8.10. And in the installation text it says I need to extract the driver with "cabextract"... but it doesn't find cabextract, so I tried to install it with "apt-get install cabextract" but he cant find the package. Can anybody help me? I am still very new in using Ubuntu [22:03] juaco: I only have jacks for mic and external speakers / headphones. I can hear the sound, very low, if i use my ext. speakers but the pc's own speakers are completely mute [22:04] when i try to download system updates i get a prompt that says i can only download a partial update, what does that mean? [22:04] do i have bad repos? [22:04] Waldir, mmm try in a terminal running "alsamixer" [22:04] juaco: anyway, I don't see how I could've swapped anything, do you mean something like connecting the ext. speakers to the wrong jack? or something software related? [22:04] juaco: already tried alsamixer, I only have one bar, "master", and it is full (100) [22:05] mattgyver83: try - - sudo apt-get --fix-missing or sudo apt-get --fix-broken [22:05] hello [22:05] Waldir, if you press tab it'll show you other channels [22:05] mattgyver83: your internet connection might be bad [22:05] not the connection, it happens everywhere ';\ [22:05] also, it says card:PulseAudio, I'm not sure this is meant to be... but still, it doesnt work on windows either [22:06] juaco: I only have "master" and "capture" [22:06] that's what i suggested indeed, it has happened to me to plug non-amplified speakers to "line-out" and ending with no amplification at all [22:06] i've been trying to use GIMP to edit jpg but i cant find how to move a selected part of a layer, when I use the move tool the whole layer moves...Anyone ? [22:07] http://pastebin.com/m4828123e http://pastebin.com/m52219acf [22:07] aranyik: you need to use a selection tool to select a particular part of the layer first [22:07] can nobody tell me how to install the package? [22:07] juaco: I doubt this was it since it started happening earlier today, while I had no speakers connected [22:07] darkvertex: http://pastebin.com/m4828123e http://pastebin.com/m52219acf [22:07] mattgyver83: try pointing your repo source to other server [22:08] Bodsda: Yes I did it already using the Rectangle Select Tool [22:08] waldir, maybe it's an error with pulseaudio try restarting it. Have you rebooted and the problem persists? [22:08] juaco: yes, and in windows too :( [22:08] But still the Move Tool will move the whole page and I have tried the different options in the Move Tool Tab [22:09] aranyik, you have to select the layer only that you want to select from the layers tab [22:09] How to properly disable Composite in 9.04 ? [22:09] mattgyver83: I only have one layer and it is already selected [22:10] aranyik: Ok, try going to the layers window, hiding all layers except the one you wish to tamper with, use the rectangle tool then just move the cursor to the middle of the selected area and drag [22:10] thats why everything moves then, you have to split it into 2 layers [22:10] he only has 1 layer [22:10] juaco: i suspect it might have to do with me turning off the sound with the laptop's integrated volume knob while ubuntu was starting earlier today, to avoid playing the logon sound since i was in a class. this is the only unusual sound-related thing I recall doing prior to this happening.. [22:10] Hi guys! I've a tiny question for you... last week i removed a program and then I manually removed some unwanted items that were still in application menu. Today I reinstalled that application and I want these menu back, but the menu editor "alacarte" doesn't show them anymore... do you have any suggestion? [22:11] Still don't have my problem fixed.. :( Anybody here who can help me with Squid? It doesn't seem to be caching anything. [22:11] vegombrei: should i assume your extra drive is /dev/sdc1? [22:11] Waldir, have you tried opening the GUI mixer? [22:12] it has two tabs [22:12] juaco: alsamixergui? or the volume control? [22:12] volume control [22:12] two tabs? [22:13] vegombrei: then replace rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro on line 11 to rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 [22:13] one tab has all the sliders for each channel, the other one should say "switches" or something like that [22:13] juaco: aargh...

[22:53] henrik_: how do you know it works fine ? [22:53] rodolfo, did u blacklist native linux driver when using ndiswrapper ? [22:53] fitzgerald, yes [22:53] I blacklisted ath5k, ath_pci and ath_hal [22:54] it didn't work so I tried with every single one of them out of the blacklist...it didn't work either [22:54] Slart, do you know much about ccsm? because changing the amount of desktops hasnt solved my problem? [22:54] TheNano: a while ago i followed this guide: http://madberry.org/2008/11/how-to-get-atheros-ar242x-to-work-on-810-intrepid-ibex/ -- and i get the wifi to work. then i swift to fedora (where the wifi worked without any configuration) [22:55] rodolfo, what is ur "iwconfig" output [22:55] henrik_: different distros have different default packages and apps so different stuff works out of the box differently [22:55] Welshy-Rob: hmm.. you changed the horizontal setting to something >1 and you still only have one desktop? [22:56] fitzgerald, http://paste.ubuntu.com/152415/ [22:56] henrik_: so you run Fedora now ?

[22:58] henrik_: then buy cards that are compatible with ubuntu [22:58] Welshy-Rob: ah.. that I don't know.. perhaps the guys in #compiz-fusion knows more [22:58] fitzgerald, I dont know...Hardware drivers from ubuntu gives me two options of closed source drivers that can be used to manage the wireless adapter... [22:58] you can have a cube with 6 sides [22:58] henrik_: all my hardware in my ubuntu box works after the first install [22:58] Slart, thanks anyway [22:58] dancok [22:58] but it wont be acube anymore [22:58] Welshy-Rob: you're welcome [22:59] How do I prevent ppp-udeb to be loaded by the ubuntu installer OR how do I skip the detection with a preseed?

[23:10] henrik_: I must go to sleep now, wish you good luck [23:10] or does apt-get completely handle removal itself? [23:11] Doitle: no, you need to run sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [23:11] Doitle: to remove unnnecessary packages [23:11] if you do apt-get remove pckgname [23:12] it will "remove" the package, but I'm not sure what all it does [23:12] I am trying to make a package that gets installed as a service and I can install it as a service, I'm trying to make sure it gets removed as well so the OS does not attempt to start it every boot when it isnt there anymore [23:13] Doitle: that command will need sudo [23:13] hmm [23:13] Doitle: there is a sticky in the programming talk section of the forums which details how to make a basic .deb including removal script [23:13] Doitle, apt-get remove sould remove the /etc/init.d script [23:13] Anyone here done a pxe boot? [23:14] fitzgerald, is there a way to remove this wireless lan adapter card and replace it with one from intel? [23:14] anyone have an idea as to how to fix a monitor not displaying the login screen or anything other than the loading animation? [23:14] Ah ok bigjocker, that's what I was trying to do myself so if it handles it I'm good to go! [23:15] what do we use instead of inittab or ttys now [23:15] i was reading a guide for RAS [23:15] and it was from 2006 [23:15] wanted me to edit /etc/inittab which doesnt seem to exist [23:16] rodolfo, ye i think so .. if the card is not soldered to motherboard [23:16] Raven: /etc/event.d/ [23:16] is there an alternate to using nvidia restricted drivers? with a decent refreshrate and res (unlike vesa) [23:17] <_Whipper> rodolfo: and if it is, some heat will do the trick :) [23:17] <_Whipper> vikrant: no [23:17] tsimpson, and how do i add a "line" for ttyS0, or whatev, add a new file..? [23:17] why not :| [23:17] how sad. [23:17] translate this into event.d for me: S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS0 [23:17] :P [23:17] hi [23:18] Raven: have a look at the tty1 file in there, I'd guess you just need to change the last line [23:18] guys .. besides firefox what other standalone app can i use to play swf files ? [23:18] Raven: and save it as ttyS0 [23:18] macman_, vlc for example [23:19] aw ok duh [23:19] i had issues before thats why Oli`` [23:19] err ..

I really need to go to sleep now, so I wish you luck [23:37] EdgEy: what archives? [23:37] rar files [23:37] !rar [23:37] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [23:37] i have say folder/*.rar otherfolder/*.rar [23:37] i need to figure out a way to extract them all with a batch command [23:38] i have unrar already :) [23:38] EdgEy: so you have 2 rars you would like to extract, is that it? [23:38] EdgEy: bash command, and it may involve scripting if the unrar program doesn tprovide that feature [23:38] when i put in a dvd my sys doesnt see it and get erro checkformedia n hal [23:38] everytime i turn off the sound in my laptop, i hear a crippling noise (maybe static) instead of sound. for example if i turn off the sound and start playing music, instead of silence i hear that noise. if i turn the music off the sound is gone [23:38] ActionParsnip, hehe, just an example, i have a few hundred folders with rars inside [23:39] EdgEy: you could use: find ~/ -name *.rar -exec unrar x {} \; [23:40] does anuyone know if deluge allows scheduling times for doenloads at it appeard transmissian doesnt [23:40] thanks :) === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander [23:40] uhhh [23:40] koshari: no idea, i just have it download stuff untill its finished [23:40] * mzgrabel is ...............

[23:43] [DMC]: if you install it correctly [23:44] hello folks..just installed xubuntu on my rig and was wondering if i could network with my Mac?
