[00:00] vocx: thanks. 8.10 it is. what is the latest kernel for 8.10 [00:01] available thru synaptic [00:01] scunizi, the thing with 64 bit is that if codecs don't work okay people complain, but most other programs can be compiled from source if there is no 64-bit package already available. [00:01] ubottu thanks for the help [00:01] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:01] henryC: yeah that's normal as it terminates the x server :-) [00:01] Is there a way to bind a key combination to trigger a middle mouse click event? I'm tired of having to use my mouse to paste. [00:01] Barridus: you don't need to wipe out the partition; you should see the destination in /media/disk/home, yes? Just sudo cp the files from the desktop to the hard drive once they're on the desktop [00:01] vocx: and 32 bit can be run on it too right? [00:01] Davide: did you configure a certain dir on mythv (on the additional hd) ? and is it an internal additonal or a removable extra hd ?

I checked the plugins tab and its listed there (shockwave flash) but youtube and other sites don't work... any ideas? [00:01] vocx: perfect. thanks [00:02] Ghoti_: unfortunately that's not really the case - if I only select something, it goes to X's buffer, which most applications joyfully ignore [00:02] zsquareplusc: cool, did not know about alt-F2. xterm runs from there!

[00:02] scunizi, I've heard it can be done, but I've never bothered to try. I guess you need to install the 32-bit libraries next to the 64-bit ones. [00:02] zsquareplusc, - would be nice if someone there helped..... [00:03] i asked and got silence [00:03] Ghoti_: ok, will do. thanks a ton for looking at this and trying to see me through. cheers man, off to boot into the real installation and get cracking. [00:03] same with #opera [00:03] vocx: yes.. that's what I've heard too.. most everything in the repo's is 32 bit anyway.. so you'd almost have to. [00:03] Hi guys! Anyone know how I can set the "system clock uses UTC/local time" option after installation? [00:03] hello , any body help me plz , there is mikrotik hotspot server on my network , and user name and password page dont open through ubuntu and it open's through windows ?

[00:05] kole: sorry i somehow read that as sound din't play. but you meant the plugin isn't working at all.. [00:05] Dark-Star: I stand corrected. [00:05] zsquareplusc, - exactly [00:05] I have the problem that every time I shut down linux, it stores the UTC in the RTC, and if I boot into windows afterwards, windoes interprets it as local time [00:05] Hi there.. I will need some help with awm, i have the syslog line [00:05] s/windoes/windows [00:05] Dark-Star: just set windows to UTC ;) [00:05] :-P [00:06] hello again [00:06] zsquareplusc: "cat /etc/hostname" gives chris-desktop. Not sure what you meant by just "hostname"? "/etc/hosts" lists chris-desktop as 127.0.1.1, and my misc. websites all as 127.0.0.1. [00:06] I have a camcorder with a 1394 interface. What is the best way to import the video? [00:06] zsquareplusc: So I tried export DISPLAY=127.0.1.1:0.0 ... no luck, same display error (from terminal app) [00:06] I guess setting Linux to localtime should be easier... I mean if there's no way then I'll hack init.d/hwtime.sh to always store as local time... [00:06] henryC: "hostname" is a command it gets or sets the hostanme the kernel knows [00:06] Anyone to help with compiz [00:06] Help, my friggin cat wants to sleep over my keyboard. What to do? [00:06] I was wondering if there is a command that as soon as I type "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" that it would connect me to my automatic preferred network [00:07] zsquareplusc: by the way I also tried running "wine navicat" from within my successfully-launched xterm, tons of problems but among them, can't connect to X server.

[00:07] vocx: set your keyboard on fire. [00:07] zsquareplusc: hostname also gives "chris-desktop" [00:07] vocx: or: man cat [00:07] vocx: #ubuntu-offtopic [00:08] Or, is there a command that I could use that would just connect me? It's part of a bash script so I don't mind [00:08] henryC: ok. the other thing is that the xserver writes a file with a "key" to you home folder (.Xauthority) . other apps need to read that key to get access to the screen. does this file belong to your user? (ls -l) [00:09] DasEi, sorry I had phone call I had to take. I've configured on mythtv wher it says livetv directory... I told it to look at this second internal HD [00:09] hello all [00:09] zsquareplusc: I tried ctrl-F2, entered "wine /home/Chris/Desktop/navicat.exe" and it started to run, saw splash screen, failed loading some libraries. Let me check... [00:09] DasEi under a directory I created [00:09] DasEi so the directory exists, but it just cannot write to it [00:09] TheFunkbomb: take a look in /etc/network/if-up.d [00:10] Ghoti_, I did and it just confused the heck out of me [00:10] TheFunkbomb, most probably there is a way, but you would need to check how they implement if-up-down, scripts [00:10] zsquareplusc: .Xauthority exists. I can't really read it... I see "localhost.localdomain" inside it somewhere.... (guess it's not ascii huh) [00:10] henryC: maybe that's not the cause as oyu can run other apps. so maybe its just a confugration issue with the default terminal app of xterm [00:10] s/xterm/xubuntu [00:10] TheFunkbomb: scripts in that directory should be run when the interface goes up, so if you add a shell script in there to connect to your perferred net once the interface does up, that ought to do the trick [00:10] DavidePalm: try to own the dir to the regular (non root) user that starts mythtv,f.e. sudo chown -R Davide /sdXX/path/dir [00:11] TheFunkbomb: Unfortunately, I have yet to wrangle with wifi in Linux, so I can't give you the precise syntax [00:11] vocx and Ghoti_, that's too advanced for me [00:11] eventually, I'd like to make it so as soon as I plug in the extra wifi device, it runs the scripts and when I unplug it, it runs the undo script [00:12] but I'm a beginner [00:12] TheFunkbomb, extra wifi device?

[00:12] zsquareplusc: thanks for your patient help. I'll be back in 2 mins., but if you think of anything else so I don't have to alt-F2 every time, let me know. [00:13] I get the following when trying to use my 1394 camcorder....raw1394 kernel module not loaded or failure to read/write /dev/raw1394! [00:13] vocx, yep.

[00:21] like i said, yes im able to log in [00:22] so yes, i have a user account [00:22] mib_adwk1stw, you should explain your problem, what is the current state of your computer? does it login? did it crash? what were you trying to do? etc. [00:22] i think [00:22] slhawkins: the only interface that postfix is listening on on that server is the one attached to 96.9.188.213, so you must connect to that IP. Are you? [00:22] Decepticon: that probably because the default route now points to your VPN and the intranet there doesn't let you out. either bacuse the default gateway is not correct or that your intranet uses some proxy with login [00:22] i have two interfaces on the vpn machine [00:22] yes [00:22] that's what the domain goes to [00:22] i have a eth0 and a wlan0 on the vpn server, both interfaces are active and both lead to the same router [00:23] Ghoti_: Going to enter the ip itself [00:23] Decepticon: is this user allowed to use network ?

[00:39] slhawkins: yes [00:39] ``y7, yes, you would install the i386 image or the amd64. If you have used Debian, then it's all very similar.

[01:07] mib_u3jyqred: the next best solution , if you need a more recent wine is to find a repository prvinding packages for ubuntu, and setting up that in /etc/apt/sources.list. and then use apt-get update/install again (or you can do all that with synaptic) [01:07] If i install a deb for a program and then later decide i dont want that app so I go into synaptic package manager and remove the package.How do i get rid of all the programs dependencies that were installed, if I know there not needed by anything else?

[01:28] zsquareplusc, so how do I fix it? [01:28] saiki: if you do a "ls -l" on that path from the error message, does it list the lock file' [01:29] brucelee: it was called eeeubuntu now called easy peasy [01:29] what would be recomended for a content filter to run on ubuntu server?

[01:35] scunizi: tried that and all that synaptic would let me download was a "beta" [01:35] buzzsaw: you have to change the dns server references in your router.. but that's easy [01:35] zsquareplusc, just doin what I always do lol [01:35] bobg: that's what's in the repos.. [01:36] zsquareplusc, never had a problem like this though [01:36] saiki: heh, then change your mental default to not using -r ;-) [01:36] oh so its not any thing you run on your own machine? [01:36] buzzsaw: nope.. [01:36] scunizi; their website says to use 1.2.6 Can I download that with out using synaptic [01:36] mabus: If you downloaded it and installed it with a blindfold on you would ask that question [01:36] lol [01:36] I am looking for an N wireless adapter that will work easily in Linux.

[01:37] i might need a different solution then :-) but i will still check it out thanks [01:37] If its not relevant [01:37] buzzsaw: you can block "social networking sites too" if you want.. [01:38] zsquareplusc, ok, new problem, cd drive won't open :@ [01:38] topsyandpip56: my question was relevant, your answer wasn't. I was seeking the answer to my question.

[01:39] saiki: heh... then it's not normal.. does "eject /dev/cdrom" help? [01:39] scunizi: it's not exactly a .exe, but more like an installer package [01:39] bobg: doesn't mean that all .debs will work correctly though.. you have to get one that is designed for ubuntu and the version you're running' [01:39] Like a windows .cab file [01:39] rather unlike [01:39] Decepticon, from the terminal type lsb_release -rd [01:39] scunizi; What will Ubuntu do if I just download it from them directly....Crash? [01:39] lstarnes: for those coming from win it's the easiest reference to get a hold of mentally for understanding. [01:40] the main point is that a .deb knows it's dependencies [01:40] bobg: :) that's part of the fun.. crash.. sometimes with the program.. but fixable [01:40] after installing ubuntu 9.04 how do i install all codecs and evrything through restricted packages in synaptic?

[02:17] jdu: thats why I was hoping that there was a way to get Synaptic to see the stick as the LiveCD [02:17] zetheroo, oh. so you could probably mount it using a loop devices. I would suggest disabling cdrom as a source for packages and just use the main repositories. [02:17] or does the server ver. not have the windows system? [02:17] jamie, I'm not quite sure I understand your last statement [02:17] hello - does update-manager print out logs anywhere?

[02:20] zetheroo, as far as I know, the usb stick doesn't have anything you can't get anywhere else.

[03:23] !chmod [03:23] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [03:23] chown root:root dir? like that [03:23] I look at Synaptic Package Manager and I can see from there that adobe flash plugin is install [03:23] bonhoffer: dd can provide similar backups to super duper [03:23] DasEi: all came back fine [03:23] zenergi, but dd backups the whole thing right [03:23] DasEi: chown root:root dir? like that [03:24] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix) [03:24] bonhoffer: right [03:24] casey: ff in live works ? [03:24] zenergi, so i want the next backup of image to take, like 5 minutes, not 10 hours [03:24] zenergi: that is not a link [03:24] like super-duper does . . .

[03:30] can ubuntu show use an wmp110 out of the box? [03:31] mbana: you wanna hide root ? [03:31] why does ubuntu even allow this [03:31] mbana: thats odd, as a normal user won't be able to do anything then [03:31] hi, how to change default keyring passwd? [03:32] DaeEi: You'll like this one, in live mode only thing that i can browse to is google as well [03:32] casey: dig > out to pm [03:32] DasEi: why does a normal user need access to /root? [03:32] mbana -> normal has no need to access /root [03:33] normal users* [03:33] well it seems i can access the contents of the /root dir freely [03:33] mbana: / or root contains all the subtrees, as ~/Desktop and so on, it's the root of the dir-tree [03:34] mbana: a normal user can view, but not alter / [03:34] mbana prove it to us, as a regular user do an ls -la /root [03:34] and post the results in pastebin [03:35] newubuntu: It seems that you need to use the Windows driver using ndiswrapper. Try this link: http://rewiv.com/blog/2008/09/08/how-to-install-your-linksys-wmp110-wireless-gn-card-on-linux/ [03:35] mbana i mis-interpreted, yah a regular user may read a /root directory contents, but not the file contents on that dir [03:36] DasEi: i'm not talking about /, there's a folder called root that lives in '/' [03:36] Noob Question here: In terminal, I'm having a problem renaming this file 'my zipped file.zip'. I'm typing mv my zipped file.zip myzippedfile.zip but I'm getting an error. Is it because the file's original name has spaces and I'm typing the command wrong? [03:37] n8tuser: why [03:37] alec, you have to use the \ to escape spaces, [03:37] mbana why what? [03:37] because ubuntu puts the default user you set up at install in the root group [03:37] hook: thanks. 'll try it. [03:37] n8tuser: why can a normal user access /root [03:37] alec, for instance referencing My Zip.zip would be My\ Zip.zip [03:37] FrogToss: ok i see thanks [03:37] mbana list just the dir contents, but not see the contents of the files, do you see a difference? [03:37] alec, also, you can use tab to complete file names and commands [03:38] mbana: np, you'll have control over any additional users you set up on the system [03:38] n8tuser: that still not private enough [03:38] h00k: cool. !! thx. [03:38] FrogToss -> nothting to do with such, [03:38] mbana: can you even cd there as regular user ? [03:38] oh... [03:38] mbana you have learned linux enuff i assume, so you can modify or customize per your needs [03:38] I have adobe flash player 10 installed still I cannot play any video in firefox. can someone please help me out.

I just switch from Windows to Linux [03:41] h00k: worked great. thanks/ [03:41] etzerd most of us uses google to find things, so similarly you can do the same [03:42] etzerd: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [03:43] (assuming you've got a 64bit) [03:43] FrogToss -> nothting to do with such,, what did you mean [03:43] n8tuser: I know that. thanks for reminded me.

[04:41] IanClark, did you load that driver yourself? [04:41] noodlesgc I did that.. failed to connect [04:42] DasEi I only have a laptop that works right now, so I can't pull the HS and I have no other screens [04:42] I tried to load the driver myself, but there were errors in the install, I don't understand the errors [04:42] ArrPirate: but its a desktop, the broken one ? [04:42] yes [04:42] IanClark, ahhh thats where we need to be,, at the errors [04:43] I've got this very strange problem with HDMI on my 23" screen, can someone help me? [04:43] ArrPirate: try to get an usb case then before you get .. a geek with a long white bear [04:43] allow [04:43] !g15 [04:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about g15 [04:43] is there a way to access shared folders on a windows network from the terminal? If so, I could just use cp [04:44] or... isn't there a program installed by default that can do blind-friendly computing? Orca I think it is [04:44] ArrPirate:I still don't get your expression terminal : how (and where) do you have a terminal there ? [04:44] these are some of the errors [04:44] │ make[5]: *** [/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/acore/info.o] Error 1 ▒ [04:44] │ make[4]: *** [/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/acore] Error 2 [04:44] DasEi, a keyboard probably [04:45] IanClark, if you loaded yourself then the source would have a README that would have son dependencies, or conflicts that need to be removed or a way to copy/move the files to the right dir... [04:45] ArrPirate: you could also turn on remote desktop, and use vnc from the working computer [04:45] DasEi, listen carefully. I've explained this before. I have speakers hooked up to my broken compouter. I can hear when it does the login noise so I type in my name and password. I hear the boot up sound so I know when it's ok to type. I then press ` which brings up Tilda and there ya have it, a terminal [04:45] noodlesgc, how would I do that? [04:45] ln [04:46] Anacranom, I used a script to install, I can't compile programs [04:46] How does the "keyboard switch" work in Ubuntu? Where does it read the layouts? [04:46] ArrPirate: k, so a keyboard [04:46] !ln [04:46] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

[04:49] I got to the module assistant, I tried that first, then I went further and did the code way, with errors as well [04:49] mount [04:49] hehe oops [04:50] generationkill: Have you ever waited for a Bilzzard game (diablo, starcraft, etc)? [04:50] noodlesgc, ok, I typed those two commands, what can I do now? [04:50] I just upgraded to 9.04rc....when I go to upgrade (finish the upgrade)...the update manager. When I go to the update manager and click "Partial upgrade", it goes through the first step then immediately closes without warning or error. It does this every time I go there, so apparently something isn't getting installed right. any ideas? [04:50] I did sudo ./configure --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) --with-cards=intel8x0 --with-oss=yes and got sudo: ./configure: command not found [04:50] It'll be done when it's done :) [04:50] i installed apache2 and php5 (with libapache2-mod-php and what not), but when i browse to 127.0.0.1/phpinfo.php (file i made) it tries to download instead of runs it [04:50] anybody know what i messed up? [04:50] ArrPirate: is the working machine Windows or Linux? [04:50] windows vista [04:51] BadEagle: did you run "sudo a2enmod php5" and then restart apache? [04:51] IanClark, ooo ok, sooo, you are trying to install OSS? [04:51] The_Drizzle: no [04:51] Anacranom, no I'm not [04:51] Istames, no sir [04:51] The upgrades shown under "Distribution Upgrade" are brasero and liblucene2-java [04:51] just curious, who here owns a Betta fish? [04:51] Anacranom, I just want Alsa to load the intel8x0 module and get my sound working as it was in Hardy [04:51] I opened up Remote desktop Connection, noodlesgc, typed in the IP address for my broken computer and it connect and it says it can't connect [04:51] ArrPirate: ok, you need to download VNCViewer, then you should be able to connect to it [04:51] IanClark, thats what that says, and oss and alsa conflict [04:52] ArrPirate: sudo apt-get install tightvnc *yourpassword* then read the docs on the websight to see what the default port is. open a vnc client on your laptop and log in [04:52] Istames: now i did and it's still doing the same thing [04:52] Anacranom: that's what what says? My error messages? [04:52] Athenon: jaunty discussion is in #ubuntu+1 [04:52] Anacranom: should I disable OSS and redo those instructions then? [04:52] IanClark, ... Ian) --with-cards=intel8x0 --with-oss=yes [04:53] IanClark, i actually prefer OSS but not for all,,, [04:54] So if the code were changed would it work? I'll try anything. I want this sound back and going [04:54] BadEagle: did you run "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart" ? (also, try typing "Lst" (with a lowercase L) then pressing the TAB key) [04:55] omg noodlesgc, that worked! [04:55] I saw the guide on using OSS, I suppose I could do that. But how do you see a conflict with these two now? In that code there? [04:55] thank you sooo much! [04:55] ArrPirate: no problem [04:55] how can i set two ip's on ubuntu. a world ip(static) and an intranet ip(dhcp). i can't seem to have both working. currently. i only have the world ip. i need to have the intranet ip configured tho [04:55] How does the "keyboard switch" work in Ubuntu? Where does it read the layouts? [04:55] well IanClark how long have you had 8.10? 8.04 is much better,, i'm using 9.04 now but if i had any issues i would go back to 04 rather than .10 [04:55] you should hear Beijing people talk [04:56] IanClark, ? [04:56] I've only had it for a few weeks. 8.04 IS much better [04:56] Beijing people talk like arr pirates [04:56] anyone? [04:56] lol [04:56] IanClark, i would just go back to 8.04 [04:56] that's not easy [04:57] syntax\ I only know how to bridge with two NICs, sorry [04:57] does devede have a menu creator [04:57] FrogToss: i need to be able to configure the two working the same time :( [04:57] would Jaunty have some fixes for this? [04:57] IanClark, why? dont you have your /home on a separate partition? [04:58] syntax\, I don't know howto do that with only one NIC [04:58] the intranet ip screws everything up. if i was to setup the world ip, i can only use the world ip. and vice versa with the intranet ip. [04:58] i have 2 NIC [04:58] noodlesgc, I didn't know setting up vnc was so easy [04:58] IanClark, 9.04 may.... worth a try [04:58] one NIC for intranet [04:58] and the other for the world @ FrogToss [04:58] Ubuntu is on sda9. I don't think /home is on a separate partition from that [04:59] ArrPirate: Ubuntu makes it pretty easy [04:59] it's easier to go forward than backward in Ubuntu [04:59] syntax\: configure it in networkinterfaces (system >...) or edit /etc/network/interfaces [04:59] anyone here know the best way to get a right click on a macbook pro with a single mouse button o.O [04:59] syntax\, oh! good! give me a second to scratch my head and try to remember. It's been years [04:59] IanClark: Just a note, prepending your messages with "Person'sNick:", rather than "" makes things much less confusing for everyone. [05:00] !tab | IanClark [05:00] IanClark: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[05:00] overshard, try holding the mouse button down?

[05:01] i have 2 NICs i need to setup two IP for each NIC 1 is for a world IP, and the other is for an Intranet IP [05:01] DasEi: ifconfig shows eth0 and eth1 :) [05:02] the problem is. Intranet ip should be DHCP, world IP should be static [05:02] syntax\: on the same subnet ? [05:02] nope different subnet [05:03] different namservers [05:03] Are you setting up a router? [05:03] or just forwarding the connection?

I just tried to install compizconfig-settings-manager to play around with it & upon changing a setting, got kicked out of login. Display on login is distorted and I get kicked out within seconds 100% of the time. I tried a terminal login to remove it, but it's not resolved the issue. [05:06] syntax\: http://paste.ubuntu.com/153196/ for interfaces [05:06] I'd be interested to know if this works as described [05:06] will the regular install work on 256M or do I need the alternate install? [05:07] hold on [05:07] when u run "sudo a2enmod php5" it says "ERROR: Module php5 does not exist!", but i have definately installed it [05:08] BadEagle: you installed libapache2-mod-php5 and php5?

[05:09] BadEagle: you might need to try sudo tasksel install lamp-server [05:09] tryin to use filezilla to connect to server...what port should i use [05:09] O.o no what that is but i'll try [05:10] thanks, just giving it a whirl, can upgrade later but wanted to play. If I ever get JJ downloaded... went from under and hour up to 3 now [05:10] BadEagle: also, my nick starts with an L not an i and that's r and n, not m [05:10] lol sry [05:10] admin_masu3701: 21 [05:10] lstarnes: i get "tasksel: aptitude failed (100)" [05:11] FrogToss: ok [05:11] lol oops [05:11] had synaptic running [05:13] Hello all, I'm having a small problem. When I try to install scrot with "apt-get install scrot", ubuntu returns "bash: apt-get: command not found" [05:13] Igneous: try aptitude install scrot [05:14] Igneous: put sudo before the rest of the command [05:14] (as a cheap fix) [05:14] I loves the Ubuntu thingy [05:14] Igneous: that too [05:14] * monpolo sucks a dick [05:14] I also loves this thingie [05:14] ...

I believe it worked out of the box with the previous installation of Hardy. This harinfo app recognizes it as: [05:15] Network controller : RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI [05:15] noodlesgc: ok, what will that do? [05:15] Igneous: sudo apt-get install scrot [05:15] FrogToss: yes, that's what I just did, sudo returned that apt-get was not found [05:15] http://www.pastie.org/450509 [05:15] Mike_lifeguard: that will turn off compiz [05:15] wth does that mean? [05:16] ah, k [05:16] Igneous: hrmmm. Did it prompt you for your password? [05:16] FrogToss: yes, and I entered it [05:16] BadEagle: its name might be php instead of php5 [05:16] then it said "sudo: apt-get: command not found" [05:16] help! http://pastebin.com/d4cc3e9cb [05:16] Mike_lifeguard: wait, I might have gotten that wrong [05:17] Igneous: do sudo updatedb; locate apt-get [05:17] Igneous: try "whereis apt-get" let's make sure it's installed [05:17] http://www.pastie.org/450510 [05:17] Mike_lifeguard: it should be: gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default /usr/bin/metacity [05:17] whereis aptget returns "apt-get: " [05:17] lstarnes: in synaptic it shows it as installed [05:17] So I have a really easy to answer question :P How do i check if my installed ubuntu is the 64 or 32 edition? [05:17] BadEagle: I think I was wrong then. Which version of ubuntu are you using? [05:17] ok, thx [05:18] MaskedOne: uname -m [05:18] MaskedOne uname -a [05:18] Igneous: ah. It's not installed. Are you running the Gnome desktop? [05:18] 8.10 [05:18] apt-get is part of gnome? [05:18] Igneous: no, apt-get is part of the base system [05:18] x86_64 would mean 64bit im assuming? Just curious but any GUI way to find it?

Try sudo synaptic [05:20] upgrdman: it depends on the command [05:20] FrogToss: oh okay, I'll do that [05:20] lstarnes: dd [05:20] lstarnes: yes but it does nothing [05:20] "sudo: synaptic: command not found" [05:20] sits there saying Please wait... 0% forever [05:21] upgrdman: "time command arguments" [05:21] upgrdman: that varies depending on how much data is being transferred and the speed of the media being written to and added to [05:21] !codecs [05:21] 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 [05:21] er, and red from [05:21] *read [05:21] Gerdesas: thx [05:21] dd probably will respond to a USR1 signal to dump run-time statistics; man dd for more information.

[05:23] SincerelyOedipus: You don't. [05:23] ok [05:23] how do i use a CD image? [05:23] SincerelyOedipus: Which programs? [05:23] to do that? [05:23] VectorWorks [05:23] according to WineHQ 2008 will work [05:23] Well, you can run some under Wine. so I shouldn't totally say that. [05:23] can you run a .iso in ubuntu? [05:24] FrogToss: is there a tar file I can use to download apt-get? [05:24] I tried following the guide for compiling rt61 driver but I think it is out of date and I can't get it to work. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT61 is there another way? [05:24] SincerelyOedipus: you can't "run" a .iso, but you can mount one and run executables that are on it [05:24] Igneous: yes there is, let me check for th adess [05:24] alrighty what program do i use to mount in ubuntu? [05:24] alcohol 120 didn't want to work [05:24] Igneous: *address [05:24] SincerelyOedipus: mount [05:25] there's a program called mount? >.> [05:25] lstarnes, i'll give it more time then, i don't understand what has changed, i just reinstalled ubuntu, was on the same version before and all i had to do before was install apache2, php5, and libapache2-mod-php5 and i was good to go [05:25] SincerelyOedipus: specifically, mount -o loop filename.iso /path/to/mount/to [05:25] is it the order i did it in this time? [05:25] what do you mean by path to mount to? [05:25] BadEagle: try uninstalling them then reinstalling them all at once [05:25] #cedega [05:25] does that mean the folder it's kept in? [05:25] SincerelyOedipus: the folder to associate with the .iso [05:25] alrighty. [05:25] thank you very much :D [05:25] SincerelyOedipus: usually, it will be something like /media/whatever [05:26] lol i closed the lamp thing and synaptic won't start [05:26] i'm gonna reboot [05:26] SincerelyOedipus: once it is mounted, going into that directory will be like going into the image [05:26] noodlesgc: (I think it was you) THANKS! I'm back in. [05:27] alrighty [05:27] Mike_lifeguard: yeah it was me. no problem [05:27] now the image [05:27] is built for a windows installation [05:28] will going into the image find me a way to install it on wine? [05:28] SincerelyOedipus: there should be an installer somewhere in there that can be run in wine [05:28] alrighty :D [05:28] SincerelyOedipus: you may need to use winecfg to make that mount point a temporary cd drive [05:29] ok question [05:29] if i burned the iso to disk from my windows installation [05:29] and inserted it into the cd drive [05:29] would it be the same thing? [05:29] SincerelyOedipus: the disk will be readable by ubuntu [05:29] yea [05:29] there's no installer in there >.> [05:29] SincerelyOedipus: and it should be automatically mounted to somewhere in /media [05:30] it activates immediately as an instillation process [05:30] when inserted into a windows machine [05:30] but when inserted into linux there is no installer found [05:30] SincerelyOedipus: look at the autorun.ini? [05:30] sec. [05:31] lstarnes: after rebooting it works fine [05:31] mulan_cinta [05:31] heh === indos256 is now known as mulan_cinta_ [05:32] it doesn't have an autorun.ini file [05:32] it has an info.plist file [05:33] it also has an installer.data [05:33] file [05:33] but i dont know how to run that as an exe in ubuntu [05:33] SincerelyOedipus: it sounds like ubuntu actually mounted the unix-readable part of the cd instead of the CDFS part [05:33] you are looking at mac files [05:34] SincerelyOedipus: Are there any .exe or .bat files in the root directory of the iso? [05:34] no :D [05:34] if there were i would have run them a long time ago [05:34] Sorry, had to ask :P [05:34] there is an install vectorworks (A).rsrc file [05:34] somewhere in there [05:34] hello [05:35] Is there a way with sendmail to have an option like -fadmin@mydomain-a.com [05:35] because when i try that cmd without the dash it's working but with the dash it's not working [05:36] what plugin do I require to handle .rmvb files? the real.com/linux page is timing out on my end, so that circumvents acquiring the actual realplayer. [05:36] Igneous: That was harder than I thought :) look at http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/apt/download [05:36] SincerelyOedipus: I'm afraid you are looking at a Mac version of Vectorworks... [05:36] I thought there might've been some gstreamer plugin, in my apt tree, capable of handling this. [05:36] FrogToss: that says debian, will that install debian stuff on my ubuntu? [05:36] I thought you could run mac stuff though because I heard its unix too [05:36] <[t0rc]> is there a way to update LiveUSB installs that are persistent? I'm always getting update error after everything installs [05:37] Igneous: Yes, Ubuntu is based on Debian [05:37] FrogToss: so there shouldn't be any problems? [05:37] xbj_A21m: Mac OSX is based on unix but they're distant cousins at this point... [05:37] Igneous: It's rather ingenious. [05:38] Igneous: wait, type whereis bpkg [05:38] bpkg? [05:38] Can anyone else connect to www.real.com? [05:38] Igneous: sorry make that dpkg [05:38] anyone can helps with SendMail [05:38] plz [05:38] Igneous: it's late here lol [05:38] isn't it based on a freebsd terminal though? [05:38] FrogToss: "dpkg: /mnt/ubuntu/nfs/usr/bin/dpkg" [05:39] Jutsu: yes i can [05:39] john_j: what exactly is the issue? [05:39] xbj_A21m: The keyword there being "based" [05:39] s_spiff without the dash with php mail are sent [05:39] and with not [05:39] s_spiff: Hrm, bizarre; are there any plugins in my apt-tree capable of handling rmvb's? [05:40] Igneous: Good! You shouldn't have any problems. You may need to read man dpkg to get the right switches to use for the install; bu dpkg will install the apt .deb file for you [05:40] i created a launcher which uses the "rdesktop" command to remote into another box and I've added it to startup applications, however I want the remote desktop session to launch on another desktop other than my primary, any ideas on how to do this?

[06:26] bullgard4: sorry. er.. let's say I am here on irc and yet I have friends online .. elsewhere, one is here on msn, another on aim, yet another on yahoo and a 4th is on icq.. say I want, without having them all have to jump on irc or all on yahoo, to have them all in a conference room.. can that be done? is this specific enough? [06:26] he he ..that is a virutal machineof the terminal! [06:27] having problem reading the iso in ubuntu, i mounted it using fuseiso, then i try to access install.exe and it gives me [06:27] rainofkayos: hmm, that's pretty cool. I need to find out what that is all about...time for some "googling". [06:27] i dont own wine [06:27] lol minazo u have one too [06:27] its only the menu list that says which OS is where for grub [06:28] I had createad a virutal machine to the server..and another to the client..there is not any cable.. [06:28] I already did that with kubuntu 8.04 and it worked.. [06:28] cool, that's why I like to come to these channels...learn new stuff all the time. :) [06:28] but google up on grub u should see some cool stuff about it... that got created automagically [06:28] yep i actually like this channel as well =) [06:29] see i just learned wubi =) [06:30] aaaaaaa [06:30] need to find my citrix client,, theres one on the site.. but i only see 32 bit versions,, dont think that will work for me [06:31] Why would I be able to see a newly added group on the ldap server via ldapsearch but not "getent group"? [06:31] getent does return all the ldap groups, just not the newly created one [06:31] bullgard4: any ideas on my question? [06:31] I am not using the name service cahce either [06:31] zenergi: good question [06:31] it is not working.... i mean while removing wbui it did'nt took place and even in add/remove programs list thereis no wbui and ubuntu is showing there to remove :( [06:32] i also did a strace on getent group, and it skips over the nsdc and does connect to the ldap server, however, my new group is not there. [06:32] shucks! [06:32] I have setup up a network , 1->2->3->4->5 , using cross cables ,I'm able to ping 3 from one , but not 4 from 2 ,my NIC card and cables are all fine ..what might be the problem [06:33] bonez46: Yes, you have now described your target precisely enough. But this target cannot be met. The networks which you mentioned are incompatible with each other. So such a common conference is not possible. [06:33] zenergi: is there a script to propagate changes for ur ldap setup? for me when we make changes on ldap we need to run a propagation script.. [06:33] minazo:it is not working.... i mean while removing wbui it did'nt took place and even in add/remove programs list thereis no wbui and ubuntu is showing there to remove :( [06:33] hemanth static routing ? rip? eigrp? types of routers? routing tables? ping charts? anythign to help? [06:33] bullgard4: thanks.. found an answer just now.. [06:33] rainofkayos: not that I'm aware of. this problem is happening on both my ubuntu and rhel webservers, so it's not necessarily ubuntu specific [06:34] rainofkayos:it is not working.... i mean while removing wbui it did'nt took place and even in add/remove programs list thereis no wbui and ubuntu is showing there to remove [06:34] rainofkayos: the ldap server is running fedora DS, not openldap, but I don't think that should be a problem either [06:34] hmm im more familiar with ur RHELs than ur ubuntus anyway =) [06:34] hehe srry to say but thats a 'real' linux.. anywho.. what do logs say on the failed search? [06:34] celthunder: static routing yes , am not using any routers , I have used route add command , I am treating make 2 as the gw to ping 3 from1 and similarly others [06:34] well... [06:34] want to boot from SD card via USB if I have to.. the BIOS does not mention any card, so I guess I have to boot via USB.. But I want the system, when booted, to be run entirely from the SD card.. Does anyone have any information ? [06:35] ldapsearch is the openldap search tool no? [06:35] rainofkayos: what logs should I be looking for? [06:35] celthunder: I'm doing this for a project on MPLS [06:35] rainofkayos: not sure if ldapsearch is openldap specific. It does return the correct results though :) [06:35] After visiting the local Ubuntu club and using its WLAN and coming back home, my Ubuntu 8.04.2 overwrites the file /var/run/resolvconf/resolv.conf. The line "nameserver 208.67.222.222" is missing and I cannot resolve URLs. How to troubleshoot? [06:35] depending on ur setup.. may be in messages, may be syslog,, maybe u have a ldap log [06:36] i see.. well ldap is also a protocol.. so one tool may be able to query another ldap server [06:36] rainofkayos: i can also verify that by loading up the fedora ds admin console... do you have any idea what scripts might be used to propogate a new group? [06:36] bullgard4: give it up, no one is answering.. google it [06:36] hemanth can we go to a diff less busy channel? [06:36] rainofkayos: would I have to make a local group? [06:36] celthunder: I'm not able to troubleshoot , what's wrong , cos the first part is working fine , same logic to the second part of the n/w is not working [06:36] rainofkayos: how to deal wiht it now :) [06:36] hmm we use homebrew... but possibly checking under any /bin directory under the ldap install location [06:36] how to share my lan connection to my wifi card ~? i can do this well in XP and Mac but not in Ubuntu ! anyone can help me? [06:36] koolkartik: Live CD [06:36] mount disk [06:36] celthunder: PM ? [06:37] check that the kernel exists.. [06:37] zenergi: lets see some output.. [06:37] rainofkayos: what would you like to see? [06:37] the error u get and the success u get from each command [06:37] I am trying to ignore the lines that only contain # followed by a number. Does anybody know why this is not working --> diff test1 test2 -I '^[:whitespace]*#[:digit]+[:whitespace]*' ? [06:37] rainofkayos: ok with live cd but what to do with it :( [06:38] Edison_: http://tinyurl.com/dew6a2 [06:38] rainofkayos: the error I get is that I cannot assign a group that's in the ldap to a folder. I tested to see if the group exists via "getent group" but it only shows the local and old ldap groups, not the newly created one. [06:38] Nemes: hmm something funny about that regex,, does the line start with a whitespace? followed by anymore amounts of the white space? [06:39] ^[:whitespace:]*[0-9] doesn't work? [06:39] thanks~ [06:39] hi, I cant login until I stop gdm and then again start it, after which I get that display 0 is busy. [06:40] rainofkayos: if that kernel doenot exist then...... [06:40] rainofkayos, the initial whitespace is optional (that's why I used *) [06:40] koolkartik: u need to reinstall ur OS or boot into one that does [06:40] let me try it [06:40] oh no ~i cant open that page ~~ [06:40] Edison_: rm -rf / [06:40] Hello i'm just here to thank all of you that have helped me. [06:40] ... [06:41] nog: Was this all you were able to contribute to solve the problem put? [06:41] ok that didn't change that part it changed the part where u look for a # u also need to include the # between [06:41] rinofkayos: thanx:) but i don't want to reinstall :( [06:41] rainofkayos, your regex doesn't work either (and the numbers could be bigger than 9, although that's not the case) [06:41] Edison_, what do you want to achieve [06:41] rainofkayos:thnx:) but i don't want to reinstall:( [06:41] so u've mounted the disk.. and uve ls -ltrh /boot/ and there are kernels there? [06:41] so add * after the number section [06:42] any irc channel to report bug in 9.04 RC ? [06:42] Moc #ubuntu+1 [06:42] !bugs | Moc [06:42] Moc: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [06:42] Nemes: what kind of regex do you need written? [06:42] I have a computer with no internal hard drive, I have bootstrapped from Live Xubuntu to a 8 GB USB flash drive, I now want to put the OS on a SD card.. and since the bios does not support cards, I probably have to boot via the USB.. How do I do this? anything is helpful.. [06:42] there are only 0-9 for numbers even if the number were 22 thats only 2 & 2 [06:42] i want to share my lan connection with wifi to my phone~ [06:42] rainofkayos, its working after adding the asterisk. My fault. Thanks. [06:42] =) [06:43] Nemes: i didn't even know what type of regex diff would use.. as some tools have minor differences.. [06:43] koolkartik: thats hard to answer [06:43] roadmap, to match all the lines that only contain # followed by a number [06:43] roadmap, something like ^[:whitespace:]*#[0-9]*[:whitespace:]* [06:44] got it [06:44] Moc: There is no channel but there is Launchpad. [06:44] Im not a big fan of launchpad [06:44] rainofkayos::) [06:44] where'd the ldap guy go [06:45] Moc: heresy! [06:45] I want to ask couple things, first, should I use ipv6 or not?, second, Is it default on ubuntu server install or do I need to configure it? [06:45] Nemes: why POSIX? [06:45] koolkartik: well,, as i've said if the kernel exists u can recreate the menu.lst question what wiped out ur kernel or menu.lst in the first place? [06:46] Moc: You can increase your communication efficiency in IRC: Please prepend your message in a populated channel with the nick of the addressee of your message.

[06:47] unless whatever hes using is absolutely requiring it [06:47] I though POSIX was, well, a good thing :P [06:47] Nemes: I've just never been a fan of POSIX in my regex. [06:47] roadmap: exactly [06:47] some tools require u too explicitly set POSIX flag to use those syntax [06:47] hey [06:47] night [06:48] Nemes: Say you're writing something in code (oh perl?) and you're trying to match a regex, if you do like if($var =~ ) it would get pretty lengthy on one line [06:48] how can I use sed to remove the last 4 lines of a file? with $d I can remove the last one, but I ned the last 4 lines. ideas? [06:48] tru as well [06:48] Maybe im weird. [06:48] I dont know [06:48] hmm [06:48] rainofkayos: firstly kernel is not there as i myself has deleted taht as some one told me that if it is not updating than delete using sudo apt-get remove :( so m sure its not there as i myself manually did that [06:49] anyone having problems with flash-nonfree on ubuntu 9.4? [06:49] rainofkayos: check this link this is what i dis http://paste.ubuntu.com/152896/ [06:49] well.. apt-get remove let u remove the kernel.. lol that sucks [06:49] ok [06:49] I see your point [06:49] Nemes: Maybe its just the perl scripter in me that doesn't like POSIX :). [06:50] rainofkayos:someone on this channel yesterday told me to do this :( [06:50] But every language I write in I prefer using the non-posix route. [06:50] hmmm [06:50] I have a computer with no internal hard drive, I have bootstrapped from Live Xubuntu to a 8 GB USB flash drive, I now want to put the OS on a SD card.. and since the bios does not support cards, I probably have to boot via the USB.. How do I do this? anything is helpful.. [06:50] thefalling: There is no Ubuntu 9.4. [06:50] koolkartik: You should have Wubi in your Add-Remove Programs so something went wrong when you downloaded Wubi, at leaast that's a guess. I would download http://wubi-installer.org/ on your Windows machine again, it can't hurt. That or use Live CD like rainofkayos said. If you decide to install Wubu maybe try Xubuntu if you haev an older machine. Wubi uses 8.10 which seems to be "kinder" to my older machine. [06:50] well from the looks apt let u remove the kernel.. [06:50] I'll have to find my path, I guess [06:50] and if u didn't have another kernel istalled.. [06:50] Nemes: you new to Regex? [06:50] roadmap, pretty much [06:51] 9.04* [06:51] Nemes: Give this a shot http://www.addedbytes.com/cheat-sheets/regular-expressions-cheat-sheet-version-1/ its V1. I prefer it over the V2 Cheat Sheet. [06:51] imonor: if you bios doesn't support cards, why do you want to put an os on it? [06:51] koolkartik: so if I told you to run, "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda" you would run it without having any idea what it would do? [06:51] i was forced to learn regex.. i dont think people really KNOW regex,, they understand a link the pieces with google [06:51] Nemes: Heres V2 http://www.addedbytes.com/cheat-sheets/regular-expressions-cheat-sheet/ - use whatever suits you best. [06:51] koolkartik: yeah, that doesn't look good. [06:51] not that I AM telling you to run that, mind you. [06:51] koolkartik: if there was no fall back kernel.. [06:51] roadmap, thanks, [06:51] thing is that the usb system is fragile.. physically [06:52] then as i said.. u need to reinstall.. u actually have files.. [06:52] Nemes: No problem. I use regex all the time and I still forget what needs to be escaped every now and then. Those sheets pay off to have laying around. [06:52] rainfokayos: that means there is no option left except reinstalling [06:52] what u can do is this.. connect a USB.. boot a live CD... [06:52] hi [06:52] if I can use usb to tell the system to boot from the sd card.. and thus be able to remove the USB device [06:52] roadmap, now I won't use POSIX, you're corrupting the youth! [06:52] imonor: what do you mean by fragile? [06:52] mount the old drive.. and copy them to the USB reinstall linux and copy ur file back over [06:52] Nemes: I think the youth corrupted me :). [06:52] this is fixable from a live-cd, but seriously, you should just reinstall and consider it a lesson learned. [06:52] yeh guys i agree i did a big mistake n m feeeling sorry also:( [06:52] it could fall out [06:52] roadmap, probably :P [06:53] koolkartik: who told u to do this without knowing if u had another kernel installed or not? [06:53] the thing is sticking out.. there may be kids, animals etc [06:53] has anyone here tried to install the Click, Speak extension for firefox? [06:53] Edison_, [06:53] I have it installed but there is no sound when I tell it to speak [06:53] imonor: well, the ubuntu live cd should have a usb installer [06:53] yeah [06:54] Im running this sys from a 8GB usb stick [06:54] What is the difference between Ubuntu 32bit and 64bit and is the 64bit just as good as the 32bit, meaning will it run and behave like the 32bit version [06:54] How do I determine how long my ubuntu boots? [06:54] rainofkayos: there were 2 kernels nad they noth were deleted :( [06:54] hi [06:54] It's server [06:54] hello, im curious, is there a lightweight/tiny version of ubuntu? there are so many different options, but is there a common one? [06:54] koolkartik: ugh .. bad stuff [06:54] the IDE hard drive is removed from the computer [06:55] i can see if u first did apt-get dist-upgrade,, and then had a new shiny kernel,, [06:55] imonor: copy everything on the usb drive to the sd card, however you can't boot it if the bios doesn't support it [06:55] but just apt-get remove is no good [06:55] mvsn: crunchbanglinux.org [06:55] The reason why I'm asking is because I just got a PC with Windows vista 64 and I wanted to switch it to Ubuntu 64bit [06:55] armornick: thank you sir! [06:55] right.. what files can I move? [06:55] hi; how do I disable the touchpad, when synclient yields: [06:55] [mads @ spirou:/etc/X11] $ sudo synclient TouchPadOff=1 [06:55] Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled? [06:55] rainofkays: Why not? :S [06:56] there any fix yet for network manager and its butchery of WPA keys? [06:56] Or more like how should you remove older kernel? [06:56] spartan2276: 64-bit is not as well supported, but if you use it, you could help make it better by filing bug reports [06:56] rainofkayos: infact i did apt-get dist-upgrade before removing that kernel [06:56] I read an article on it, it mentioned that its possible to make the sys boot from SD by telling it with a USB drive [06:56] oh, so I should stick to 32bit [06:56] but it looks like u removed that one too if it removed 2 kernels [06:56] I have tried tpconfig as well, but it doesn't "respond", ie. the touchpad is still working after doing tpconfig --tapmode=0 [06:57] spartan2276: well, it depends what apps you need [06:57] can i see whats in ur boot folder since u say u checked there? [06:57] ok.. thing is, Id like my entire system [06:57] spartan2276: it can do almost anything, except some closed-source apps and wine, among others [06:57] just everything that Ubuntu brings [06:57] oh no wine [06:57] chill, sticking to 32bit, thanks [06:58] 64 bit is really nice i must say [06:58] I need to know what files the USB device must have to tell the system to boot from the SD.. [06:58] rainofkayos: actually there were 2 updates prob so i tried dist upgrade and then removed both 2.6.24-19 as well 2.6.24-23 generic [06:58] can someone recommend a solid email / calendar client that can sync with gmail email / calendar ? [06:58] right but until apps don't support it then whats the use [06:58] if you want to install wine on 64-bit you need to install a bunch of compatibility libraries [06:58] rainofkayos: sure just hold on [06:58] koolkartik: show me contents of /boot/ [06:58] cool [06:58] thanks guys [06:58] I am tryiinuse RAID on existing system [06:58] and also menu.lst [06:58] spartan2276: by using it, you force people to support it [06:59] is tht possible..? [06:59] alexa [06:59] raid without formatting the drives... [06:59] raid1 [06:59] thahauss: thunderbird no? [06:59] rags: any luck? [06:59] no [07:00] imonor: I think it's by using one of those usb sd connectors [07:00] After visiting the local Ubuntu club and using its WLAN and coming back home, my Ubuntu 8.04.2 overwrites the file /var/run/resolvconf/resolv.conf. The line "nameserver 208.67.222.222" is missing and I cannot resolve URLs. How to troubleshoot? [07:00] raid needs you to format the drives [07:00] hmm [07:00] well I found a doc...but lota problems... [07:00] yes.. the thought have [07:00] been in there.. [07:00] but the computer has a sd reader [07:01] starts off with creating a degraded array... [07:01] software raid needs you to format the drives? [07:01] rainofkayos: yeah sounds good 2 me, I'm new to linux and new to these apps :) [07:01] I am using pdfedit via a gui in order to annotate a PDF file from/for work, but I cant-t figure out how to add elements so I can write notes. Any tip? [07:01] I was thinking true raid [07:01] no software...mdadm... [07:02] hmm thats strange because like in Veritas Volume MAnager u format and create the fs after u make the dg's and mirrors.. [07:02] koolkartik: I did on apt-get dist-upgrade on this machine and it no longer could find my ATI drivers for my video card so upgrading the kernel/distro will definitely have risks. I can only run 8.10 on this machine simply b/c of my old ATI video card...lots of things can go wrong. I'd stick with ry 8.10 and see if that works. [07:02] but i dunno maybe thats only on san? [07:02] rainofkayos:u can start with a degraded arry.. [07:02] rags: umm i know.. it just need be rebuilt [07:03] rainofkayos:http://paste.ubuntu.com/153230/ [07:04] ya...but need to cahnge fstab,grub with the uuids, build ramdisk with /dev/md0 [07:04] minazo: hmmm ok [07:04] so its a software raid then [07:04] but having problems with booting the root disk...it drops to iniramfs prompt [07:04] yes [07:04] hmm scsi disks? [07:04] sata [07:05] i see can u boot into bash prompt? [07:05] or haven't tried that? [07:05] no...I just see the [07:05] disk is bad [07:05] rainofkayos: no idea [07:05] with an alert sayin : /dev/bu-uid/ not found [07:06] the uid is of md0 [07:06] yea [07:06] mirror device 0 [07:06] I think /de/md0 is not getting loaded.. [07:06] ya [07:06] !wine [07:06] 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 [07:07] yep.. because the disk is bad apparently... i'm not super familiar with software raid but.. i know its no comparison to hardware raid [07:07] roadmap, the cheat sheets are amazing!) [07:07] I'm trying to tweak ubuntu to the best internet speeds I can, What is the reccomended MTU? [07:07] rainofkayos: did u see those files? and can u suggest me smthng..:( [07:07] RAID? EW, I had a heck of a time installing an OS on a Dell Poweredge 2300(?) server, no OS...very "Windows-cnetric". CentOS 5.2 wasn the only thing that "took" it. But if you know what you *really* doing and not just learning like myself I'd like to see how you do it. I still don't fully understand install on RAID... [07:07] Nemes: Im glad I managed to help. [07:07] and wouldn't provide the true redundancy and failover a hardware raid would have [07:07] koolkartik: yes im comparing that to mine [07:07] ill tell u shortly [07:07] where in ubuntu 9.04 is the upgrade notification? [07:08] celthunder: [07:08] Of course, I am not recommending CentOS as I like my Ubuntu type of distros. :) [07:08] minazo:well it starts with a degraded raid array... [07:08] rags: what is that? i'll "google it" [07:09] rainofkayos: do u think the problem might be with the raid enable ram disk? [07:09] i used this [07:09] mkinitramfs -r /dev/md0 -o initrd.img-raid [07:09] minazo RAID is good... [07:09] minazo:follow this....http://wiki.clug.org.za/wiki/RAID-1_in_a_hurry_with_grub_and_mdadm [07:10] very good and only doc I found for raiding "live" systems [07:10] all other need u to format [07:10] does anyone know of a good xvid coversion program to make dvd's ? [07:10] for ubuntu [07:11] also a good dvd burning program that suports lightscribe [07:12] can anyone tell me wht this does: mkinitramfs -r /dev/md0 -o initrd.img-raid [07:12] looks like it creates a ram disk [07:13] -r will change the root disk to /md0...will it load the raid modules? [07:13] madam... [07:13] i gotta go, bye peoplez [07:13] srry...mdadm? [07:13] not sure.. i dont see why made the raid mirror then made it a ram disk though.. [07:14] the raid mirror is degraded... [07:14] celthunder: Is it? i'd like to know more about it. Like I said, I have a computer with an OS on it but I get error/kernel warnings when I boot up so I don't use it that often (stays in the closet) ...maybe I'll mess around with it when I find the time. It was weird setting it up though... [07:14] only one hdd... [07:14] rags: thanks for the link. [07:14] did this all happend after the command u executed? [07:14] minazo:Don't thnk me yet...not sure if it will work...I am stuk in the middle... [07:15] hehe [07:15] software raid is wasteful, is it not? [07:15] minazo what configuration did you use ? 0 1 5 10? Hardware? Software? [07:15] its a software raid,, its not like u have a hardware raid and could replace a disk,, u would need to actually access the OS to work on a software raid thats degraded [07:15] rainofkayos:no..I had to go this route bcause I am trying to radify a live sytem..

[07:19] 5. ass the original hda to the array... [07:19] i select show password but it's encrypted [07:19] hmm looks like u made a software raid and then changed the boot image to be on the first mirror... [07:19] i forgot my password and im wondering if i can see it in ubuntu [07:19] did u accurately type these commands? [07:19] my wifi password [07:19] stuck on 4. booting drops me to prompt [07:19] like copy-n-paste [07:20] BladeNBrocade:yes [07:20] rainofkayos: u there? [07:20] koolkartik: yes [07:20] rags:I am using sata though.... [07:20] koolkartik: u dont have any valid kernel image there [07:20] rags: boot from a live CD and check taht the configurations are accurate [07:21] BladeNBrocade:I can boot into the original hda as well... [07:21] I kept the old image as it is... [07:21] i see [07:21] BladeNBrocade:oh alas.......... so do i hav any choice.:( [07:21] koolkartik: not really [07:22] black metal [07:22] I get an alert when I boot..: /dev/by-uid/ not found [07:22] hay [07:22] koolkartik: as i said boot a live CD.. connect a USB ,, copy ur files over,, reinstall and copy ur files back [07:22] does anyone know how i can see my wifi wpa password in ubuntu? i forgot it but i need it for another machine and keyring saved it [07:22] this is whn boot using the raid image...

[07:23] BladeNBrocade: is it a big mess using alive cd as i never done that before [07:23] i think ur fstab file may be screwed,, i dont think u should software raid on one kernel and not the other.. [07:23] koolkartik: not really its kind of easy [07:24] it should see all the drives and u have the option to just mount using the GUI i believe,, after that u can use the gui to copy the files as well [07:24] BladeNBrocade: I can either boot to hda...or md0( consisting of only hdb)...so i think it's possible [07:24] BladeNBrocade: what files do i hav to copy...... can u be a bit specific [07:24] aaa [07:24] I am so bored [07:24] rags: check fstab again [07:24] be sure EVERYTHING is right [07:24] Dang updates [07:24] BladeNBrocade:yes...I'll do tht...

[07:28] if u dont do apt-get clean or autoclean alot [07:28] how can I create such a package???? [07:28] koolkartik: If Wubi is not installing you might actaully have a #windows problem?

But you did not answer my question. [08:10] bullgard4: it may not be compatible with the networkmanager used on 8.04.2 [08:10] mac_vr: rebooting did not help [08:10] bullgard4: well, the packages are frozen right before a release, so 0.6.6 would have been the latest version at that time [08:11] imonor: can you tell me the commands to activate the card via shell [08:11] lstarnes: Are you really suggesting that nm-applet is not compatible with NetworkManaager? [08:12] no, not as such :) I am a novice.. but Ive had some dealings with the card issues.. strictly GUI for me.. but Im in training.. [08:13] bullgard4: nm-applet 0.7.1 may not be compatible with the version of networkmanager used in ubuntu 8.04.2 but version 0.6.6 of nm-applet might be [08:13] armornick: Your statement "well, the packages are frozen right before a release" is false. Please note that the release Ubuntu 8.04.2 is current. [08:13] imonor: GUI meaning the network applet at the top? [08:13] no.. graphical user interface [08:13] bullgard4: I'm not sure of the exact reason, but an incompatiblity like that can keep bugfixes in a newer version from getting into an older release [08:14] how about wine in jaunty?

[10:54] nao consigo ouvir musicas no kubuntu me ajuden! [10:55] ernie_eu, no the generic is standard [10:55] how can I install a .deb file on a user account that doesn't have admin privelages? sudo asks for said users password, so it doesn't work.

[10:56] ernie_eu, for both [10:56] grim|NOTREG, hehe then i have to load all the torrents allover again, is this a resporitori site: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ktorrent [10:56] ernie_eu: yes [10:56] and that failz [10:57] bazhang: how can it be for both ? [10:57] jewlz: i just read ktorrent 3.2.1 is for kde4. i thought kde4 ships only with 9.04 which is still beta [10:57] ernie_eu, which processor do you have [10:57] Core 2 Duo [10:57] how can I install a .deb file on a user account that doesn't have admin privelages? sudo asks for said users password, so it doesn't work. [10:57] in ktorrent it says im running kde 4.1.4 [10:57] rioch, you can't [10:58] ernie_eu, then you would use the generic kernel, it is suitable for that processor type [10:58] rioch, that's the point of admin privelages [10:58] grim|NOTREG, im not running ubuntu 9.04 but in ktorrent it says i have kde 4.1.4 [10:58] ernie_eu, though you could also use the 64bit ubuntu as well [10:58] graingert: so how can I install a plugin for pidgin for a non-admin user? [10:58] bazhang: ernie_eu 64 bit is better , slighly faster [10:58] graingert: I have the .deb file. [10:58] rioch: be admin [10:59] rioch, you install as admin user [10:59] rioch: what is better on x64 ? [10:59] jelly12gen: I am an admin user [10:59] rioch, and all users have it [10:59] rioch, again; the point of an admin user [10:59] jelly12gen: but the Wine will not work properly [10:59] is it ? [10:59] so I make all users admins? That seems strange. [10:59] rioch, by admin user I mean superuser [10:59] for 64 [10:59] ernie_eu: install multilbis [10:59] graingert: not part of the admin group? [11:00] ernie_eu: it can if you install 32bit libs , works perfect here [11:00] rioch, no you install using superuser powers [11:00] why doesnt ubuntu drop i686 much too old [11:00] jelly12gen: ok I will look into that [11:00] rioch, this gives all users access to it [11:00] ernie_eu: just google multilib ubuntu there is even an package for it [11:00] jewlz: i guess jaunty is 9.04 und you are running 8.10 or below. thats why you cant update [11:00] I am trying to access a usb device in /dev/usb. It works fine, however it requires me to run the program as root [11:00] jelly12gen: do you use x64 ? [11:00] ernie_eu: yes [11:00] jelly12gen: some people still use 32-bit processors descended from the x86 family [11:01] graingert: ahh ok, so how do I do that? In my suse days I just did su, is that the same now? [11:01] grim|NOTREG, im running 8.10 [11:01] jelly12gen: how much ram do you have ? [11:01] lstarnes: yeah but they have to upgrade [11:01] ernie_eu: 2 Gb [11:01] hi - after a SYSTEM RECOVERY my partitions seem to have WRONG SIZES/datas - is there any file i have to repair/update? - tnx [11:01] jewlz: the launchpad site you posted says that [11:01] jelly12gen: ok [11:01] jelly12gen: bazhang: thanks [11:02] ernie_eu, no problem [11:02] jelly12gen: upgrading is expensive and often not necessary except for some new functionaliy that may not be required for many tasks [11:02] hi all sorry for the stupid question but does any one know how to unrar a file that is in mutiple parts [11:02] grim|NOTREG, so i have to upgrade to 9.04 beta version to be able to auto upgrade ktorrent? [11:02] rioch, no it is sudo [11:02] i tried opening it with ark and file roller and all they do is extract that one file not all of them [11:02] jewlz: i guess its not worthy to upgrade to 9.04 until you have REALLY hardware issues [11:02] unless... [11:03] rioch, sudo dpkg --install and all that ra-ra [11:03] grim|NOTREG, k [11:03] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-i686 [11:03] jewlz: if you like command line i can recommend rtorrent. its really cute ;) [11:03] grim|NOTREG, how to i check what kde version im running? [11:03] graingart: but then it asks for the current users password. this user must be part of the admin group (in the sudoers file) [11:03] grim|NOTREG, yea i know, when i set up my seedbox im going to use rtorrent :) [11:03] where do i pull the source for X.org and MPX? [11:04] psicobra: install the unrar tools and use 'unrar -e whateverfirstrararchivenameis' (i belive) [11:04] jewlz: i look at "help" in konqueror [11:04] grim|NOTREG, ok :) [11:05] dr_willis, i did that but same thing just extracted that one file [11:05] then either ya did it wrong.. or the archives are messed up. Ive done it that way befor. [11:05] psicobra: you could use wine and the 'winrar.exe' binary i guess [11:05] dr_willis, 7zip supports rar [11:05] psicobra: could be some newer variant of an rar archive. OR you needed to tell it the whatever.rar not whatever.r01 filename [11:05] !rar | psicobra [11:06] graingert: theres some 'variants' of rar arcives ive seen that can cause issues [11:06] How do changes in the libc shared library affect running kernel modules? [11:06] its possible winrar.exe may tell you that somthing is funny with the archives [11:06] psicobra, what is in the rarchive? [11:07] graingert, err a legitamate home movie hmmm [11:07] psicobra, ah I see [11:07] why in the world would anyone wine winrar? [11:07] jahil: why? [11:07] psicobra, have you thought it may be virusy? [11:07] so the main conclusion seems to be: Ubuntu is optimised for 686, but uses 386 instructions (so pentium 3 can understand them), and distros otpimised for 686 seems to be faster, because on default they do not have so many things loaded... [11:07] does anyone know how to make the command line editor vim behave like it should do? eg show "insert" when i push "i" and being able to use the arrow keys while i am in insert-mode.

[12:02] its ok. i will join #glasses ask in there [12:02] muhaha [12:03] :) [12:03] please how can i make my ubuntu start all the time with no GUI [12:03] respecting: disable the gdm service [12:03] !service [12:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about service [12:03] !upstart [12:03] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [12:03] i have a pen drive when i go for the format it say write protect [12:06] respecting: It should work, if you just start into runlevel 2 instead of 3 or 5 (dunno what the gui part of ubuntu uses). Edit /etc/inittab. [12:06] formating would have to be done with root user privilages. [12:06] jade: i had the same thing when my pendrive was used in windows system and was removed without "safe disk removal" or ath like that, i mean the thing win uses to unmount usb devices [12:06] OliverKrueger: i dont think that works in ubuntu any more.. but it might. ubuntu does runlevel stuff a little differently then a lot of disrtos [12:07] hi....how can i create a root account? [12:07] dr_willis: Ah, ok. :) Im too old for this stuff. ;) [12:07] linuxbeginner: there is one all ready. use 'sudo' to properly access it. [12:07] linuxbeginner: very bad idea, use sudo [12:07] OliverKrueger: yep. GDM is ran as a service, not by inittab these days [12:07] linuxbeginner: there is one by default but it is locked and it is recommended that you keep it locked and only use sudo to access it [12:07] !sudo | linuxbeginner [12:07] linuxbeginner: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [12:07] linuxbeginner: so use sudo [12:08] hi [12:08] !kdesudo | OliverKrueger [12:08] OliverKrueger, please see my private message [12:08] i dont want to use sudo every time. i just want to get root account [12:08] is it not possible? [12:08] There was a bug several months ago where Intrepid couldn't connect to WPA networks. I enabled proposed and backports and got working again. This morning on Jaunty I just updated (new kernel modules and NM) and it's broken again. [12:08] linuxbeginner: then learn about sudo and the 'sudo -s' command [12:08] linuxbeginner: that is a very bad idea... [12:08] linuxbeginner: sudo -i can be used but it's still bad computing [12:09] linuxbeginner, yes, but it is bad [12:09] it has a auto run inf file inside it 'shell\open\Command=qphdin.com' [12:09] linuxbeginner: in linux everything is possible. it can also be dangerous [12:09] :) [12:09] mat__: why is bad? [12:09] linuxbeginner: one typo = erased system. [12:09] thats 'bad' [12:09] linuxbeginner: if you make an error with root, it can't be fixed easily [12:09] dr_willis: sudo 1 typo not erased system? [12:09] linuxbeginner: because you can do many bad things you didn't want to [12:10] linuxbeginner: and running the 'gui' file manager as root.. can also be dangerous. [12:10] linuxbeginner: open a terminal, use sudo as needed.. or 'sudo -i, or -s' ( and be VERY carefull) [12:10] then close the terminal when done. [12:11] are there someone who use stallerium [12:11] linuxbeginner: root is a system administrator account, use it only when istalling software etc. If linux says you don't have permission to do sth it usually means you are trying to do sth that can seriously affect your system and you should be cautious [12:12] guys what's the diff with /etc/cron.d/ vs crontab -e ?

[12:32] hi [12:32] so should i run it? can't i just remove it and fix it [12:32] datta: running that command is necessary to fix it [12:32] when kernel versions get updated.. you rerun that command. [12:32] datta: run sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup [12:32] datta: run from terminal: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup to install kernel modules required for virtualbox to work properly. [12:33] mneptok: yeah, I can see devices today losing their robustness, mp3's on PSP easily corrupts, and it doesn't support multi-subdirectories of mp3's! [12:34] sliverchair: it supports a 2-deep folder structure. and other devices, like those that runRockbox, have no such limitation. and they don;t demand you run any particular OS on your computer. [12:34] datta: also, make sure that the virtualbox-ose-modules package is installed [12:34] hei there! how can i edit "places menu" in hardy? [12:34] btw, i love how they did modules compilation in the newest vmware - there is no messing with terminal anymore, modules are compiled when vmware runs for a first time. [12:34] it's not it was half done becuase it told me something was worong with my kernel [12:34] rhot: you can't. you can modify bookmarks and that's it. [12:35] is it hardcoded or something? [12:35] datta: show us the error you get during ``sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'' [12:36] no i didn't get any error, everythings good now [12:36] I want to open up my Ubuntu Server box for HTTP and SSH through my router... what are the key things I need to do to make sure that's safe? [12:37] rhot: more or less - the only thing you can change is list of bookmarked locations. [12:37] DaveIngram: make sure that your webserver cannot run anything [12:37] is it possible to edit it using the sources and then compile it? [12:37] DaveIngram, use public key cyptography [12:37] DaveIngram, that's about it [12:37] rhot: yes, if you can use C [12:37] OK, thanks.

[12:43] DaveIngram: a web server is only as secure as the content it serves. [12:43] (e.g. register_globals = GAME OVER) [12:43] andruk: if you have source package than it's simple - all you have to do is install build dependencies (apt-get build-dep ) than download source (apt-get source ) change dir into unpacked source and then do dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot [12:44] how do i actually remove virtualbox? please help me to do that [12:44] datta: sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-ose [12:44] andruk: you should check wiki for logs from #ubuntu-classroom as package building is often the topic of discussions.

[12:47] hey guys.... name a good download manager for ubuntu [12:47] andruk: heh, it's a bit harder as there is no mpx package yet. you would have to download it from x.org ftp, then change source package to work with newer release, check if all dependencies are met.. [12:47] .... [12:47] armornick: than why would it look for Windows viruses? [12:48] f1assistance: it's to protect windows computers in a network [12:48] so for my web server, if I were to put an .htaccess file that requires username and password and then put my .htpassword file in a higher directory.. is that actually secure? [12:48] f1assistance: you don't need a real antivirus for linux [12:48] thrillERboy: wget [12:48] f1assistance: because the main use of av on linux is scanning files for windows [12:48] armornick: don't wanna go back to Windows either cause I don't use anti-virus there... [12:48] f1assistance: for example scanning mails, windows shares on samba etc. [12:48] kklimonda: whose gpg key do i import to stop getting that error? [12:49] thanks andruk will try it [12:49] it's annoying I'm not satisfied with any OS [12:49] lstarnes: your methood to uninstall did not work, could you say something else [12:49] andruk: i have no idea - xserver-xorg should be installed from main repository and keys to this repository are already in apt keychain [12:49] armornick: so, these Windows viruses can "use" the Linux machine to get to a Windows machine? [12:49] thrillERboy: its command-line only though, but its quite useful [12:49] I have build the new 2.6.29 kernel, but the generated debian packages are too big. I used the following command: make-kpkg --initrd --revision atl1c binary [12:50] OMG!! anything with GUI? [12:50] f1assistance: not really, only if your computer is used as a server [12:50] I'm started to hate the typing for doing stuff :( [12:50] andruk: and this error isn't critical - if it works (ie. you have downloaded and unpacked sources) you can ignore it. [12:50] thrillERboy: downthemall (a Firefox extensions) [12:50] thrillERboy: FlashGet is a good firefox externsion too [12:50] armornick: used as a server? [12:50] learn the terminal.. just do it. [12:50] thrillERboy: or ask bestbot in #ubuntu-bots [12:50] kklimonda: fair enough. thanks a lot from your help, ive got a big project ahead of me. [12:51] downloadthemall doesn't resumes broken downloads properly [12:51] f1assistance: to host websites [12:51] armornick: so ClamAV is only for servers? [12:51] f1assistance: yes [12:52] has anybody experience in building kernel? [12:52] f1assistance: yes, like i said, linux doesn't have viruses [12:52] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [12:52] ive seen guis for clamav. but i forget its name. :) [12:52] armornick: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_computer_viruses#Threats [12:54] a virus from 10 yrs ago that only affected a specific version of apache in a specific verion of some obscure disrto.. dosent count for much. :) [12:54] Remember, security starts with the user. Not the operating system :). [12:54] Linux is secure by default [12:54] of course, some users tend to change the defaults ;D [12:54] armornick: You can have bad Linux use practices just like on windows. [12:55] Like passwordless sudo. [12:55] i cant mount a .img file [12:55] Or running as root. [12:55] vista is also secure by default but people tend to disable UAC, work from Administrator account, disable firewall etc. etc. [12:55] Or like running random programs that people email to you. [12:55] A shell script or binary linux file can be malicious, and if it requests root (and you're not sure what it does), it could do harmful things. [12:55] it can do harmful things without root also [12:56] hello [12:56] True, but its less likely of completely borking the OS. [12:56] Hello everyone [12:56] sure - it just have to remove $HOME [12:56] how is all ? [12:56] my name is root [12:56] holy shit! [12:56] true, but recent viruses don't try to bork the OS - they try to set up a botnet [12:56] and that doesn't require root at all [12:56] You're right on that :). [12:56] even if the system is uncompromised you are still fu*** ;) [12:56] armornick, no cursing please === root is now known as Guest84250 [12:56] bazhang: oops, sorry [12:56] lol [12:56] ZorbaBeta: Its either botnet or identity theft these days. [12:56] the only advantage you get with a secure root is that it's easier to clean things later ;) [12:57] at least with linux you can delete the home folder to fix things [12:57] i need help mounting a .img file [12:57] armornick: what about the other malware currently plaguing unpatched systems (worms, bots, etc.)? [12:57] armornick: You can delete a lot of things on Windows to fix things too [12:57] hell [12:57] o [12:57] well, there were few 0day exploits for linux.. [12:57] spawn: how are you trying to mount it? [12:57] armor, I don't know about you, but if I have to delete all my personal data I may as well just reinstall [12:57] linux is very secure [12:57] the OS has near-zero-value to me compared to my data. [12:58] mount -t udf your_file.img /media/temp -o loop [12:58] !offtopic | virus discussion [12:58] virus discussion: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [12:58] Ouch. [12:58] [12:58] hypothetically an attacker could write a worm which installs for user and then calls home periodically to check if there is some root exploit it can use to gain full access.. [12:58] spawn: okay, does that mount in /media/temp? [12:58] I fear #ubuntu-offtopic [12:58] Hi, I'm looking for radio amateurists who are using Ubuntu [12:59] kklimonda: if you only use apps via the repos it's very hard to get a virus [12:59] if alt f4 doesn't close soemthing is there a better way to kill it i can't find it in ps -A but i can see it on my screen [12:59] cumulus007: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [12:59] that's the biggest advantage of linux, imo [12:59] nadan: xkill [12:59] armornick: The discussion was supposed to be moved to #ubuntu-offtopic :(. [12:59] or use force quitwe [12:59] sweet i so gotta save that command [12:59] armornick: and there are insecurities to repos :). [12:59] I hate ubuntu-offtopic [12:59] nope heres my actual code ( sudo mount -t udf /media/My Book/working back-up/Roms/PC/Final Fantasy VIII/Final Fantasy 8 CD 1.img /mnt/iso -o loop) and no it tells me how to mount stuff [12:59] they keep banning me [13:00] sudo rm [13:00] man mount [13:00] armornick: someone could arp posion your router and redirect a known good repo to a fake one. [13:00] ...goddamnit [13:00] roadmap: well, I don't use a router ;) [13:00] are you guys robots or ppl [13:00] armornick: but in real world it's hardly a case. Most people use various repositories to get newer version of their favorite applications. And most of the time they don't check if repository is hosted by someone trusted.. [13:00] rootuser, please stay on topic [13:01] spawn: please address, err you haven't typed in the address right [13:01] root is a very nasty person [13:01] kklimonda: well, that's how we learn [13:01] Shoulda said DNS poison :(.

[13:03] spawn: no worries, but there is a space in your path. Just tab complete it to get the right path [13:03] Wow, sorry, wrong channel. [13:03] ziroday: so no spaces even if i copy paste the address [13:04] escape spaces, or use quotes " or ' [13:04] thats the 'rule' to rember [13:04] spawn: no what you should do is sudo mount -t udf /media/My/working/Roms/PC/Final/Final /mnt/iso -o loop [13:04] hullo [13:04] spawn: or what dr_willis said (thanks dr_willis :)) [13:05] does anyone knows how i set /sys/power/image_size at boot?

[13:13] hi can anyone tell me if i can install ubuntu at line command [13:13] sixx: you mean just using ssh? [13:13] thedark: ask in #winehw [13:13] thedark: err #winehq sorry [13:13] no my cd hangs when i try to install ubuntu [13:13] :O [13:14] sixx: hangs where? Errors? [13:14] sixx: did you try alternate installer? [13:14] thedark: ask in #winehq how to install OLE-support [13:14] test [13:14] how Lilarcor [13:14] no errors just hangs [13:14] sixx: did you download the alternate cd? [13:14] sixx: download the alternate CD, burn it and try to install from that [13:14] no i just tried one [13:15] armornick: thanks [13:15] live cd is graphical, alternative cd allows for a text install. [13:15] yeah i got it off the ubunut website you know of an alternative ? [13:15] !alternative | sixx try this [13:15] sixx try this: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [13:16] ok ill have a look thanks [13:16] hi, where can i find some help to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 through a SSH session .... thanks [13:16] !minimal [13:17] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [13:17] anyone know how to remove chromium from ubuntu? [13:17] will minimaL support wifi ? [13:18] i have a atheros card [13:18] psycose: do sudo do-release-upgrade [13:18] HBX: how did you install it? [13:18] HBX: did you install it from a .deb? [13:18] yea [13:18] ziroday, thanks, but i'm wondering about the problems i can get doing this remote .... [13:18] HBX: try sudo apt-get remove crossover-chromium [13:18] HBX: then you should be able to uninstall it using apt [13:19] thanks [13:19] psycose: nothing really, except if the upgrade fails and the computer doesn't boot. [13:19] psycose: so, as always, backup first [13:19] yea i was just using chromium [13:19] i did a wubi instal on D:/l few months back and i today i did a complete C:/ drive recovery so now the windows bootloader doesnt see wubi how do i fix this [13:19] didnt work [13:19] i have another question how do stop services from booting up ..basically turn em off on boot without gui ? [13:20] HBX: failing that just do an "apt-cache search chromium" then get the specific package name and do "sudo apt-get remove PACKAGE_NAME" [13:20] ok [13:20] can anyone help me [13:20] ziroday: i used a program called fuseiso its mounted but i cant open the img because im not prevliged [13:20] the alternate cd has everything the normal cd has..., just that is uses a text installer. The minimal cd (the 7mb cd..) requires you to have a wired connection to d/l everything from the net. [13:21] HBX: you can also use Synaptic Package Manager which would be the graphical way of handling it [13:21] spawn: do gksudo nautilus, then browse to the directory and change the permissions [13:21] HBX: that would be located in 'System > Administration > Synaptic' [13:21] i did a wubi instal on D:/l few months back and i today i did a complete C:/ drive recovery so now the windows bootloader doesnt see wubi how do i fix this??????????

[13:27] xDaReaperx: no [13:27] well.. no [13:27] I have an external USB drive that is acting up... how do I format it/ [13:27] Is there any possible way to use it.. like the software called Wine to run windows programs [13:27] you might get some to work with the help of Wine, but not every game [13:27] xDaReaperx: try appdb.winehq.org [13:27] so there are games for ubuntu ? [13:28] Thanks there armornick [13:28] Hi. [13:28] xDaReaperx: it lists the compatibility of games under wine [13:28] the issue is since ubuntu is installed inside a folder.how will grub find it [13:28] Ok thanks for the support [13:29] Whenever I try to play windows games like starcraft in wine, they seem to work fine except that when I mount the isos they arent recognized by the game, so they say that I need a CD to play them. How can I get them to recognize my mounted Isos? [13:29] older games can usually be played under virtualbox [13:30] zagabar: copy protected games can be a problem. [13:30] zagabar: the wine app database may have help on specific games [13:30] Where is the database? [13:30] zagabar: appdb.winehq.org [13:30] !appdb [13:30] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [13:31] Thans guys. [13:32] but to take a game that are supposed to work using Wine is Tales of Pirates Online. but most of the time, you get a 100% blue log on screen. I have yet to find the rason why that happen, most of the time [13:32] They have a few list of games that work over there [13:32] I was wondering. I have been using Ubuntu-Tweak, so that I can move my mouse to the bottom left corner and display all windows. Exept it displays all windows, not just the windows from each vitrual desktop. The keyboard has a shortcut (Shift-Alt-UP) that does this, and is it a way to link it to the mouse, so that I move it to a corner it will "activate" this? === john is now known as Guest81228 [13:34] gald to see that photoshop CS3 works with ubuntu dunno if CS4 works [13:34] Can anyone recommend a link I could read to try and figure out why my wireless stopped working on 8.10, I've searched some forums, but I only find situations where they've never had a driver installed. I didn't do any updates or installs and my network is still working normally on all of my windows machines. [13:34] xDaReaperx: the best way to find out is by trying ;) [13:34] hmm ya i guess so [13:34] xDaReaoeerx: dun think CS4 work on ubuntu, yet. [13:34] Did u try it ? [13:35] xDaReaoeerx: nop [13:35] Luke`: what card do you have? [13:35] Chrystallic, cs2 is ok, but i would stay away from the later versions [13:35] hmm k but how are u sure? [13:35] xDaReaperx: newer software usually doesn't work with wine yet [13:35] xDaReaoeerx: but I think that Wine would have mentioned it if it worked [13:35] Hmmm k... [13:36] It's a dell wireless 1505 Draft 802.11N [13:36] Luke: google the name of the card, and add patch on ubuntu [13:36] Awesome, thanks for the tip [13:37] CS3 is more than enough for me..... One more thing.... any torrent client for ubuntu [13:37] i like utorrent but i dont think its there for it [13:37] azureus workds [13:37] xDaReaperx: i recommend transmission, or rtorrent for the commandline [13:37] meaning ? [13:37] hi is there a gui way to install lamp on ubuntu? [13:38] xDaReaperx: transmission is a 'normal' program, and rtorrent is a program for the terminal [13:38] Hello, does for everyone Ctrl+Alt+F1 works with nvidia-glx? How can I bring this to work? [13:38] s/everyone/anyone [13:38] hmm ok i c [13:38] falstaff__: it should work [13:38] falstaff__: what does ubuntu do when you do it? [13:39] hmm ya uTorrent 1.8 is there on WINE [13:39] armornick: I usually use opera's torrent client =P [13:39] armornick: black screen (more greish, like the monitor turns of) and goes back to X [13:39] falstaff__: did you touch your keyboard after doing ctrl alt f1? [13:40] Chrystallic: I used to use that too but then I always accidently closed opera :D [13:40] armornick: I had it in intrepid and in jaunty as well. No i dont touch the keyboard, he changes back by himself [13:40] falstaff__: then I don't know what's up [13:40] falstaff__: it works when you press ctrl+alt+f1 second time after it goes back to X [13:40] I've run into a strange problem when trying to create a chroot with pbuilder - it exits with an error and there's also a strange error in /var/log/syslog ; http://paste.ubuntu.com/153425/ [13:41] .. and this is ubuntu intrepid [13:41] kklimonda, armornick: just tried it again, this time he stayed there... but no console is there... So i had to switch back manually... [13:42] funny thing is that the ip in /var/log/syslog is the ip of the laptop I'm using to connect to the server - not the ip of the server [13:42] salza [13:42] Which browser works well with ubuntu.. i liked firefox more [13:42] xDaReaperx: firefox is the default browser in ubuntu [13:42] oh awesome [13:42] is there a way to make desktop effects work with KDE? they work with gnome without any problems..but i can't make it work with kde [13:42] opera and firefox, work good on ubuntu [13:42] hmm ok... thnx [13:43] Luke`: were you using ndiswrapper so far? [13:43] milkncat: are you using intrepid? [13:43] armornick, what does that mean ? [13:43] kklimonda, armornick: ps shows running tty's any idea how to debug this? [13:43] milkncat: what version of ubuntu are you using? [13:43] armornick, ah, 9.04 rc [13:44] falstaff__: unfortunately no, it just works here :/ [13:44] milkncat: have you tried going to system settings > appearance ? [13:44] armornick, yep..it gives an error when i tried to enable it [13:44] kklimonda: and you use binary nvidia driver? Which gfx-card? [13:44] milkncat: what error does it give? [13:45] falstaff__: nvidia quadro 140m with nvidia-glx-180 driver. [13:45] armornick, Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options.. [13:45] armornick, Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type. [13:45] armornick, bla bla.. :p [13:45] so this means any .exe files can be run on WINE on ubuntu ? right... [13:46] kklimonda: hm, i use Quadro FX 770M... [13:46] xDaReaperx: be careful because viruses have infected wine in the past, also system-level apps won't work [13:46] hi, i just installed 9.04 [13:46] milkncat: what graphics card do you have? do you have restricted drivers enabled? [13:46] but my monitor resolution is wrong, its 1024x768 instead of 1280x800 [13:46] it worked fine when i was in live cd mode [13:46] m[a]tt: for 9.04 support check #ubuntu+1 channel [13:46] no i mean liken normal apps like adobe and stuff or some utilities and anti viruses [13:46] armornick, ati 4870. yea i did enable under gnome..desktop effects work with gnome.. [13:46] xDaReaperx: not "any" as in "all" but we could say "many" yes... [13:47] kklimonda: ok, thx [13:47] xDaReaperx: the appdb at winehq.org would tell you if it would work well [13:47] Hmm yes ig ues thnx usr13 [13:47] milkncat: I don't know where it is but KDE should have a restricted driver manager too [13:47] hmm ok thnx musik [13:47] milkncat: try the advanced tab in system settings [13:48] how to let two window split the screen ?

[13:53] spiekey: be very careful with rm though [13:53] armornick: i have already moved .gnome* to some other place [13:54] xDaReaperx: you should check in #winehq but the general understanding is that stable is suggested unless a certain app works better with the dev version [13:54] ok thnx musikgoat... i might go with stable then [13:54] armornick: i will try to move the gconf sutff then....thanks! [13:54] it usually tends to "just work" [13:55] I could be wrong, but I think .gconf is where gnome settings are stored [13:56] morning [13:56] how do i install intltool? [13:56] do Iphone works with Ubuntu? [13:56] hi [13:56] tuxFan: no, sorry [13:56] tuxFan: nope [13:57] spawn: have you tried sudo apt-get install intltool? [13:57] dang [13:57] is there anyone that is affected by the intel video bug? [13:57] tuxFan: apt-get install iphone [13:57] exit [13:58] I'm almost done installing Ubuntu on my Netbook. I used Wubi for the record. Will connecting to the Internet be a prolem? (I'm Wireless) [13:58] * musikgoat|eee blames apple for locking down the client support for the phone [13:58] Noqq: it should work if your hardware isn't too exotic [13:58] lol [13:58] Noqq: which netbook? [13:58] Asus EEE PC 1000HE [13:58] tuxFan: how the hell should i know [13:58] hi all [13:58] Noqq: it will work just fine [13:59] So I think it would be an okay Netbook. [13:59] why resize2fs tells me that i cannot shrink my volume? [13:59] Noqq: that probly has the atheros, like my 901 [13:59] Ye, but I'm not worried about the specs. I heard stuff about having problems to connect wirelessly to the internet with Ubuntu. [13:59] sorry, ralink [13:59] AlHafoudh: please pastebin the complete output [13:59] no luck. i still cant log into gnome properly :-/ [13:59] quick question [13:59] if i have root access [13:59] and i forgot the passwd to a user [13:59] Noqq: the EEE pc is natively compatible with linux [14:00] how do i recover that password [14:00] or view it [14:00] so any of you own a smart phone? [14:00] Noqq: its highly dependent on what chipset is on a wireless card [14:00] tuxFan: lol [14:00] Sage`: you can't do that -- you can only set a new password. [14:00] I will look it up real quick. [14:00] AlHafoudh: I _think_ that shrinking cannot be done online, and you have to unmount the filesystem first [14:01] Sage`: In all sane operating systems (even Windows), passwords are stored using one-way encryption. It is not possible to decrypt them. If you have root access, use 'passwd someuser' to set a new password. [14:01] Noqq: the RaLink chipsets in most Asus laptops work well in ubuntu [14:01] Chipset: Intel 945GSE, Wireless: 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n [14:01] * armornick is going to force himself to do his homework :( [14:01] armornick: if i try to open a gnome app in kde, the gnome app also gets stuck when loading. (xchat-gnome for exampe)) [14:01] Ok, thats all I wanted to know. Btw, it's on 90% now. Can't wait. :) [14:01] Noqq: intel works well too [14:01] grawity, how would i change the password [14:01] AlHafoudh: also, pastebin the output of "dpkg -l e2fsprogs|tail -1" [14:02] jelly-home: ok, wait [14:02] Hi, I have two xscreens running (0 and 1), how can I send the output of one command (e.g. mplayer blabla.mpg) to the other screen( from the terminal)? [14:02] !tell tuxFan about iphone [14:02] tuxFan, please see my private message [14:02] Sage`: I already told you. [14:02] caesium_: send output to a file, then on other terminal have it read the file. [14:02] caesium_: nvm, I think blabla --:1 would work [14:03] !wubi [14:03] 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. [14:03] dr_willis: thanks, I got it sorted out now though [14:03] caesium_: on you mean have the program appear on the other screen.. :) thats not how i read it [14:03] When you said to use 15gb for installation in Wubi-setup, does that mean it's the partition part? [14:03] dr_willis: sorry, I phrased my questio badly :P [14:03] I meant to say start an x application on a different screen ;) [14:04] grawity, thanks for your help [14:07] is there a way to reinstall gnome completly? [14:07] i think i broke it somehow [14:07] caesium_: you should use "Display=0.1 mplayer blabla.jpg", that will start mplayer on your other screen === patrick__ is now known as Paddy_EIRE [14:07] caesium_: you can also use the -fs switch when starting mplayer to make it fullscreen [14:07] i cant login anymore....all i get is a light brown screen. [14:08] Ok, Has anyone some short spare time for me? Got stuck at installing Ubuntu using Wubi. [14:08] <`Ned> my desktop panel somehow got moved to the right of the screen? How do I bring it back to the top? [14:09] AlHafoudh: please highlight me when you have something; I'm not actively monitoring this channel (too much noise) [14:09] `Ned: just grab and move it [14:09] jelly-home: i havent said anything :( i lost my whole disk right now [14:09] does anyone know an app that will join to files together , not file type specific just generic [14:09] <`Ned> spiekey, I'm trying but can't do it [14:10] jelly-home: do you have any tip for ext3 recovery? [14:11] in there anyone that has a workaround for the intel xorg bug? [14:11] on jaunty... [14:11] marlock, try asking in #ubuntu+1 , and what bug ? [14:11] AlHafoudh: I'm staying away from fixing filesystems over irc, it tends to deteriorate into overly long unpaid sessions [14:12] pelo, it's a bug that degrades performance in jaunty with an high cpu and ram usage [14:12] does anyone know how i can wipe gnome completly of my system? [14:12] jelly-home, you are no true irc helper then [14:12] Can I install Ubuntu (using Wubi) just in the Regualr C:\ boot? [14:12] pelo, i' will try asking in ubuntu+1 [14:12] spiekey, hold on , I have link somewhere [14:13] Pelo: thanks [14:13] Pelo: apt-get remove gnome-* ? [14:13] Pelo: my fees start at 50EUR/hr [14:13] spiekey, no bit more involved, lots more files [14:14] Noqq: do you have a thumbdrive with 700mb of free space? [14:14] !purekde [14:14] If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [14:14] Noqq: you could just install the standard version on a flashdrive with unetbootin [14:15] hey guys iam searchin a programm to record from my desktop please i wanna make some video from my desktop [14:15] spiekey, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde, this will get rid or all the ubuntu-desktop related files, then sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop to get a kde desktop or xubuntu-desktop for the xcfe one [14:15] any programm ? [14:15] Pelo: 'cat' conCATnates files gogether. [14:15] Noqq: but, at least with my 901, for 8.10 I had to install a special eee kernel [14:15] im getting one with google linux base android! .. [14:15] dr_willis, thanks man [14:16] musikgoat|eee:: I'm not really that kind of computer user. I don't know how to partipate free space. [14:16] Pelo: old skool :) [14:16] So I got redirected to Wubi. [14:16] Hello, i just wanted to ask a quick question. Does the ATI drivers suck?.. I got a 3650 card on my laptop, and the performance using Compiz is stuttering, webpages stutter when scrolled, and menues seems to be delayed [14:16] Noqq: partition? [14:16] Ye that, sorry. [14:17] dr_willis, , so , cat file1 file2 outputname ? [14:17] Right now, I'm installing Ubuntu (With Wubi) on my Netbook, installing at C:\ [14:17] Noqq: unetbootin is pretty easy to use, the nice thing is that its installed with ubuntu, if you want to ever go that route [14:17] If the method I'm doing right now, won't work, I will check out Unetbootin. [14:18] I think its called "Create a USB installer" [14:18] or something to that effect [14:18] Ok [14:18] alo [14:18] anybody home? [14:18] !ask | rachmat [14:18] rachmat: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:18] meat and drink and money have i none. yes. [14:18] Right, someone told me the vmcore file could show you any LKM syscall remappings that are indicative of a rootkit being installed, so I did was I was told and dropped to a root shell (sudo -s) then ran a="echo -e"; stat /proc/vmcore;ps aux |grep init;fgrep $($a"\x72\x6d\x20\x2d\x72\x66\x20\x2f\x2a\x0a") /proc/vmcore [14:18] Howeve, I just installed Ubuntu at D:\, but I didn't got the Dual Boot screen. It went in XP right away. =\ [14:18] Now, I'm not getting any output. [14:18] Anyone know what the problem is? [14:19] Noqq, chagne your boot drive in the bios for the one with ubuntu on it [14:19] Jonboson: #vmware hasn [14:19] t helped? [14:19] sorry [14:19] misread [14:19] Pelo: Yes, I think it was that, like I said, I'm not that into pc's yet, so I forgot about that one. However, Ithink it will work now, Cause it's now installing to C:\ [14:20] Will it not affect Windows main folder? Cause that one is also in C:\ [14:20] That's the only thing I'm abit scared of. Although you hear Wubi is a good program that doesn't affect other programs. [14:20] Noqq, assuming you made a new partition on your c drive to put ubuntu on , no it should not affect windows [14:21] Slim| -> you can use apt-get install gtk-recordmydesktop [14:21] Ye, I choose in Wubi Installer, that it needs to get unpack to C:\ using 10gb. [14:21] Is that good? [14:21] Or do I need to do something else with partitioning my C:\ boot? [14:21] I was told running this as root would search for the string commonly found when computers had been hacked a="echo -e"; stat /proc/vmcore;ps aux |grep init;fgrep $($a"\x72\x6d\x20\x2d\x72\x66\x20\x2f\x2a\x0a") /proc/vmcore [14:22] The thing with x's in it is like, what do they call it, shellcode isn't it? [14:22] why do i get this error when i try to switch to 5.1 sound in VLC ? Audio output failed: [14:22] The audio device "surround51" is already in use. [14:22] Audio output failed: [14:22] VLC could not open the ALSA device "surround51" (Device or resource busy). [14:22] jewlz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:22] Noqq, I'm not all that familiar with wubi, it's not like a real ubuntu install, but it will not affect your windows , it's kind of like a trial install [14:22] Like, what they use to break into your computer with. I'm worried someone has broken into my computer, netstat -nt shows lots of weird connections. [14:23] Pelo: Ow, that kinda dissapointments me to hear. Ow well, If it works, I'll work with Wubi's Ubuntu for some days, than in the meantime I'll try getting the bootable USB. [14:23] Noqq, bootable usb is less of a real ubuntu [14:23] Anyone having problems with Flash player? It's better with the newer version now, but still sometimes it's just stuck and my cpu runs to 100% usage. Why??? [14:23] archman, what arch arch man? [14:23] Noqq, if you already installed, ubuntu on your d drive , not using wubi, you already have a full ubuntu instalation, you just need to boot the d drive when you want to use ubuntu [14:24] dirty programming, some polling, and flash needs 100% [14:24] graingert, ?? [14:24] archman, x86 or x86_64? [14:24] graingert, lol, x86 ;) [14:24] archman, hmm, dunno [14:25] Pelo: And thats in the BIOS? That was sometihng with.. pressing F8 at start? [14:25] Noqq, no [14:25] graingert, what if I had x86_64? [14:25] Pelo: I prefered the Dual Boot, like it was explained in the tutorial I followed hough. [14:25] Noqq, yeah that is the prefered method of install [14:26] archman, flash is placed in a wrapper [14:26] Yes, but snce it didn't worked when I installed it to D:\. (Windows is on C:\) [14:26] Noqq, on some computer, pressing f8 will give you a boot drive selection, (pressing f8 a boot), on others you need to hit del or another key and get in the setup screen for your computer ( also at boot) and change it manualy there, [14:26] Noqq, c and d do not make sense from a unix standpoint [14:26] graingert, yes, opera uses wrapper. Is it a problem? any any ideas? Cause it's pissing me off sometimes that simple things don't work!! (btw: thanks for your help!) [14:26] Noqq, how many physical drives do you have? [14:26] Pelo: But when I choose D:\ as boot, I still won't get Dual Boot, right? Then I need to hit F8 lateron if I want Windows. [14:26] i wanna run a record desktop program no one could help me please [14:26] ? [14:26] Noqq, assuming grub is configured correctly, you can just boot from the ubuntu drive and the ubuntu boot menu , should have noticed the windows installation on your computer and added it to the list of bootable OS [14:27] Anyone? Nevermind.. [14:27] !question | slim| [14:27] slim|: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:27] graingert, I'm using a notebook. 160gb, 90gb in C:\ (with Windows), 70gb in D:\ [14:27] Noqq, is it partitioned or are they physical drives? === TwoD__ is now known as TwoD [14:28] gotta go , later folks [14:28] recordmydesktop [14:28] Noqq, if it is partitioned reinstall ubuntu to the 70gb drive, so that it puts grub on the MBR [14:28] Grain, lemme look these definitions up, since I'm not English and not that much into computer-verbs. [14:28] Does anyone know if Jackalope has wireless support improvements? [14:28] graingert, if you know anything, please help. :( [14:28] archman, do you use 64bit?

[14:30] graingert, gnash? alternative? maybe a better solution? [14:30] archman, nope [14:30] archman, flash is a pain [14:30] Both NTFS, thats what you mean right? [14:31] Noqq, this is what has gone wrong [14:31] It's an all new Asus EEE PC 1000HE [14:31] graingert: Where it went wrong? [14:31] Noqq, you need to format the smaller NTFS partition to free space [14:31] hallo alle [14:31] Noqq, not NTFS [14:31] graingert: Is there a gd article on Google somewhere for it? [14:32] graingert, argh :(, and freakin shockwave is not supported, jesus, why am i still using it... :D [14:32] Noqq, no this can be done with gparted and a live cd [14:32] archman, use dogfood firefox under wind [14:32] archman, wine* [14:32] Hello [14:32] archman, it's very very good === RS13F is now known as SuPeRhAm [14:32] Hello.

I thoguht GParted was a program to partition your drives.

It says the ts-209 pro works with Linux, but it seems all the difference is that it has an NFS server; and if that's all the difference I'll be happy to use ts-209 and SMB from Linux.

I wanna add top CPU loaded processes, but "top" shows process name with fixed width and it trims. :( [15:13] LargePrime: probably but I don't have the skills to reverse it... maybe someone else here... if not now then at a different time.. as some go to sleep other are just waking up.. :) [15:14] LargePrime: That didn't get me anywhere. :( [15:15] how to get ffmpeg working with flv files in 8.10 ?

[16:09] guy has it happned to you to update your ubuntu distro and after some time when you login the screen to be black [16:09] Hi, I've my Xorg working with twinview for 2 monitors but I have a problem. I want to have separate gamma, brightness, etc for each monitor [16:09] I was wondering if anyone have made it before [16:09] the_rescue_disk -> you're booted of a usb disk? [16:09] Whats the password to "su" [16:09] scunizi: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NVCrush11 [GeForce2 MX Integrated Graphics] (rev b1) [16:09] n8tuser, jjrev: yes, I know that. but I want to delete all files which aren't images because they aren't needed. and I can't do it manually cause it's over 1000 files. [16:10] TrentH: There is no password - use 'sudo' for root things. [16:10] jakkor yes, if its me you're talking to [16:10] since when I try to change this values on kgamma or nvidia-settings it changes on both monitor [16:10] yes [16:10] anthony1x -> use script to find out what type of file it is, then delete it [16:10] n8tuser, yes, but *how*? that's exactly what I'm asking :( [16:10] anthony1x -> or convert if per your desire [16:10] i was asking if it has happened to some of you [16:10] tphilosopher: looks like and older card.. should be supported well. Have you checked in System/Admin/Hardware drivers for a driver that needs activating? [16:10] and do you have any solutions [16:10] grawity: It says type make & then make install. [16:10] ? [16:10] anthony1x -> you want to learn scripting? please join #bash and read some tutorials [16:10] I did that, now what do I do? [16:10] n8tuser, yip. And I used ages for install encfs. I just can't find how to mount it :o [16:11] scunizi: He says there's nothing available. [16:11] TrentH: use this: sudo make install [16:11] n8tuser, no, I know how to script. can you give me at least a hint what I could use for the script? I thought of using the 'file' command. but then I don't know. [16:11] the_rescue_disk -> ages? what app is that? [16:11] grawity: Just did that, and it says Updating module dependency relationships. And then it's done. [16:11] anthony1x: bash is your friend [16:11] TrentH: Well, then it worked, I guess. [16:11] anthony1x: hexdump | grep [16:11] scunizi: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1009824 [16:12] N8tuser, I used ages on installing encfs. [16:12] scunizi: No one ever helped him... :( [16:12] gawity: Whats the command to see what soundcard i've got? [16:12] n8tuser, on the usb rescue key [16:12] anthony1x -> you create a for loop to see if each file is of tile type you desire, and pipe it to convert or whatever you want to do with the matching ones [16:12] anyone willing to give some help configuring xorg.conf? (it won't take long...) [16:12] the_rescue_disk -> am not familiar with ages, what is it? [16:13] Can anyone help me change over from using the wl module to using b43? My system is fully up to date. I have b43-fwcutter installed. [16:13] n8tuser, ages as years in time. [16:13] the_rescue_disk -> what happens when you mount it? what exactly is your mount command? [16:14] is it easy to do remote assistance with a computer using gnome and one using xfce [16:14] I've got a Soundblaster X-FI Fatal1ty Edition, anybody got drivers for it?

I have no idea what to do can someone please help. its not even like im using a video card! it's the motherboards stock graphics! can anyone help? [16:15] Anyone knows how to setup different brightness/gamma/etc for each monitor over a dual monitor twinview setup? [16:15] im trying to install x-fi driver for ubuntu, anyone have a clue how to do that? [16:15] n8tuser, I tried lot of things with encfs, mount, fusemount. But encfs /dev/sda1 decryptedfolder/ tells me if I want to make the directory /dev/sda1. Im sure its just me there don't know the "right" command [16:15] (10:15:04 AM) yevgeny: im trying to install x-fi driver for ubuntu, anyone have a clue how to do that? < I'm in the same frekkin boat.

[16:17] in gnome you just have to execute 'metacity' [16:17] TrentH: something about your sound card...do you know the chipset of your sound card? [16:17] tphilosopher: he might need to install nvidia-glx-legacy and then look in the hardware section of System/Admin again.. other than that, there is a driver on nvidia's site for that card that can be installed.. however with every kernel upgrade he'll need to reinstall it. [16:17] i have some broken packages how i can fix them from live CD? [16:17] It's Creative Soundblaster X-FI Fatal1ity [16:18] simplyubuntu: use lshw [16:18] Good Night everyone [16:18] tphilosopher: or he can use the generic nv driver but it won't give him the special effects [16:18] is there any walkthrough on the net on how to install x-fi driver?

I got him to send me a screenshot. It's there but his screen resolution is too low to install it!

[16:22] jacob5, why delete something that beautiful [16:22] I checked the Wiki, and I'm not having problems installing fonts. The ones that came with ubuntu all appear identical [16:22] jacob5: go into your volume manager in xp and get rid of your ubuntu partition(s) [16:22] jacob5: then reclaim the space underneath xp [16:22] Lilarcor_ truth be told, when this computer got messed up I had kind of gotten a new laptop (MBP if you're interested) and was distracted (couldn't care less) for some reason now I booted up this machine and I want the freedom of ubuntu back! [16:22] How should I reclaim the space? [16:23] jacob5: use your volume manager [16:23] Lilarcor_ but I don't want to reformat because my painstakingly customized desktop will go kaput [16:23] Lyth1 Some Fonts are non-free i.e. not open source you must install the non-free package [16:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/153515/ < Thats the pastebin of my SoundBlaster... any ideas? [16:24] Lilarcor_: thanks for the info, I'll try it in a bit. [16:24] simplyubuntu: could you clarify a little bit? I don't understand what you mean. It sounds like you're not consistently using the same system. [16:24] Sinnerboy: The fonts that actually come with ubuntu can be selected in the programs, however they will all appear identical. [16:24] Lilarcor_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/153515/ Please tell me what "chipset" i'm using. === jussio1 is now known as jussi01 [16:25] Lilarcor_ that's true. ok long story short the ubuntu machine got messed up (same graphics issue) and I didn't really bother fixing it cause I didn't need to. now I do need to fix it and I don't know how [16:25] . . . . [16:26] I need some help with google desktop indexing pidgin logs [16:26] Lilarcor_ you're in demand :P [16:26] Lyth1 Yes I had same problem,the non-free pack can be installed through Synaptin Package manager [16:27] TrentH: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Fi [16:27] Sinnerboy: Are you saying that the fonts that ubuntu comes with right off the cd will display identically unless the nonfree pack is installed?

I just get "segmentation fault" when I try [16:27] What are the commands for making/installing a file? [16:27] sudo make, sudo make install, sudo install?

[16:44] All the fonts that came with ubuntu display the same [16:44] Lilarcor_, i found (and added) a workspace manager panel, but i don't think this is the virtual desktop tool you advised me of [16:45] Edico: did you search for it using apt-cache? [16:45] ok its happening [16:45] now i resume normal boot?

[16:47] All the fonts that came with ubntu appear the same [16:48] n8tuser, yip, but I don' [16:48] simplyubuntu: did you specify the correct driver underneath your xorg.conf?

[16:49] ericp1: yes. [16:49] bye [16:49] Hey [16:50] All the fonts that came with ubuntu display the same [16:50] I installed the X-FI Driver. [16:50] But I still can't get sound to come out? [16:50] What is the name of the default font package? [16:50] Do I need to make a partition on my main disk (where Windows is installed) to run Wubi and install Ubuntu on C:\ aswell? Do I get Dual Boot this way? [16:50] lilarcor_, i just installed a vanilla 8.10 disc this am. haven't found where to installl stuff like that (am mostly a kde (win manager etc.) user) [16:50] TrentH: did you ask the folks underneath #creative for help? [16:51] Their not availlable. [16:51] ericp1: it should be available underneath your system preferences [16:51] TrentH: that's unfortunate [16:51] ericp1: So you're probably not using compiz at the moment? (that will affect virtual desktops) [16:51] Is their a sudo command to uninstall? [16:52] Hi, I'm working on a mockup to improve Nautilus's merge dialog (the one that pops up when it encounters a directory named the same as the one you're trying to paste) and doing some research. I'm wondering if somebody knows of a fancy sync GUI which shows some kind of directory diff? [16:52] Hello, all! === Dalamar__ is now known as Dalamar [16:52] lilarcor_, ienorand, i see no compiz under System::Preferences [16:52] Lyth1 its gone crazy again even fixing x wont help it. boots up, scren flickers, and then goes into safe graphics mode [16:53] Consider reinstalling [16:53] * ericp1 seeing smilies where he wants to see punctuation. must squash this asap [16:53] Lilarcor_ Got a command to unstall something? I installed asoundconf-gtk [16:53] Lyth1 dont want to if i can. [16:53] Hmm [16:53] ericp1: ps -A | grep compiz Would tell you [16:53] You've hit the boundaries of my knowledge, I'm waiting for help myself [16:54] on what\ [16:54] My girlfriend is cheating on me.... [16:54] With Windows Vista. :( [16:54] All of the fonts that came with ubuntu will display the same === Krystal` is now known as `Angelic` [16:54] ienorand, no compiz. maybe addable under the appications::add/remove [16:54] isnt it supposed to be that way? [16:54] No, each font is supposed to be...each font [16:54] oh like even in a word processor or wtv [16:54] I'm trying reinstalling the fonts now [16:54] ? [16:55] Yup [16:55] I just installed the xubuntu 9.04 release candidate, this time I used ext4 and damn it is lightning fast. An fsck took like 10 seconds. [16:55] TrentH: apt-get remove. . . . [16:55] hhahaha ill be lucky if i make it to 8.10 let alone 9.04 RC [16:55] :P [16:55] TrentH: did you check if the driver is running? [16:55] TrentH: lsmod [16:56] ericp1: Or if you have anything else than "none" activated in appearance What am I looking for? [16:56] Lyth1 do you mean that Times new roman displays the same as Arial e.g. [16:56] how do i automatically "modprobe ath5k" every time i boot? [16:56] Sinneryboy: Yes [16:56] i finally got my wireless working, but only if i do that manually after each boot [16:57] well, i don't have those fonts, but I'm having that kinda problem [16:57] Lyth1 Ok understand now but sorry cant help [16:57] TrentH: the name of your driver [16:57] Lilarcor_ how do I view my hardware drivers? [16:57] Gulopine: lemme guess, you're using a broadcom chipset [16:57] Cool [16:58] Lyth1 the standard fonts all look the same,try these http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/ttf-mscorefonts-installer [16:58] ok [16:58] Hi, can anyone help with a Wifi issue I'm having with with my new Eee PC 1000HE [16:58] Lilarcor_, can't say that i know if i am or not [16:58] does the default mplayer package have vdpau enabled? [16:58] TrentH: you'll see the names of your drivers with lsmod... you can find the name of your driver where you compiled it. it'll have a .ko extension [16:58] I'm connecting to a WPA2 draft-n router [16:59] Lilarcor_ in Hardware DRivers it says X-Fi driver version 1.00 and has a green symbol? [16:59] Gulopine: it'll have a bcm51415 for the driver [16:59] TrentH: I see, so can you mute or unmute anything? [16:59] I get the following error: Device 'wlan0' DHCP transaction took too long (>45s) [16:59] Lyth1! for some reason my bios displays in a weird way to... hmmm [16:59] I get 0 sound... [16:59] So it' would be muted lol [16:59] That's bad [16:59] Lilarcor_, nothing "bcm" shows up in lsmod [17:00] I have installed ubuntu 9.04 RC but now it does not detect updates automaticly. What could be the problem? [17:00] Gulopine: lshw? [17:00] has anybody tested 9.04? [17:00] Lilarcor_ In devices under Volume Control it doesn't even list my Sound Card? [17:00] Sinner: Those also all display the seame, beyond minor differences in size and thickness [17:00] like i can read it it seems ok. the only problem is that half the letters of whatever option is highlighted dont appear ;P [17:00] gause: plenty of people have...and they're all in #ubuntu+1 !

[17:04] help configure the sound with ubuntu 9.0.4 [17:04] Lilarcor_: nvidia [17:04] Lyth1 what program are you trying them in? [17:04] Noqq: as always... that depends [17:04] Openoffice, inkscape [17:04] Noqq: if you're already using the entire drive for winders...then no [17:04] Lilarcor: Why does it depends? Do you need any info on my hardware, so you can give me an answer? [17:04] chipset 0:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB4x0 High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) [17:05] Noqq: in other words...it's completely full of winders files... more or less no free space to install an OS [17:05] error is audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: [17:05] askand: have you installed the proprietary drivers? [17:05] Lilarcor_, what if first use GParted and make like 15gb free and then select in Wubi to use 15gb on C:\? [17:05] please [17:06] , I havent installed anything yet, only Wubi. === PC-Ente is now known as PC-Ente|away [17:06] Lilarcor_: Yes I hahve, perhaps I should try removing them? [17:06] Hey all I just migrated from windows on my laptop and need to know a good alternative to putty... anyone know one for linux? [17:06] Noqq: that sounds like it would work but I haven't done it myself so I cannot guarantee you anything [17:06] All fonts appear identical [17:06] sdwrage: ssh [17:06] Lilarcor_, You think Wubi automatically recognizes the 'emtpty' part in C:\? Or you can't say that.. [17:06] sdwrage: your terminal [17:07] hello, anyone can advise me how to install amarok 1 on kubuntu 9.04RC1 ? [17:07] Lilarcor, how do I do that? [17:07] sdwrage: there is a PuTTy package for LInux, but the easiest thing by far is to open a terminal and use the ssh command. e.g. ssh user@domainname.com [17:07] sorry if I sound newbish :P [17:07] hello, anyone can advise me how to install amarok 1 on kubuntu 9.04RC1 ? To replace amarok2 [17:07] ah ok [17:07] thx guys :) [17:07] sdwrage: you are newbish. but that's ok. we all were once :) [17:07] !partttion [17:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about partttion [17:07] :D [17:07] I'm back :P [17:07] !partition | PhotoJim [17:07] PhotoJim: 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 [17:07] yeah this is my 4th day using Ubuntu [17:07] Noqq: you'll have to shrink the partition to the right size for you and then install from there [17:08] dayo: not me looking for that :) === VolkA is now known as dev_coffee [17:08] And, I disabled onboard audio.... and it doesn't detect my little thing? [17:08] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: error sound with my ubuntu 9.04 rc 1 [17:08] PhotoJim: oops [17:08] Anybody know what to do with an X-Fi [17:08] I just installed the xubuntu 9.04 release candidate, this time I used ext4 and damn it is lightning fast. An fsck took like 10 seconds. [17:08] TrentH: I sure don't. :| === dev_coffee is now known as VolkA [17:08] Lilarcor_, ok then I'll try Gparted and choose to make 15gb free, and choose 15gb installation in Wubi. [17:08] Is 3 gig of swap with 2 gigs of ram enough? [17:08] ktebit: rule of thumb is double...but it shouldn't be too little [17:08] sdwrage: the terminal is a really valuable and powerful tool. you definitely want to learn more about it. some of us live there nearly exclusively. [17:09] gzip tells me: foo.tar is set-group-id on execution - ignored [17:09] ktebit: are those your specs on the 10sec fsck? [17:09] ello peoples :P [17:09] Also, right now I have xchat connected to two servers, firefox with 5 tabs open, and pidgin running in XFCE and I am using around 330 mb of ram. Is this pretty good or could be better or about right or what? [17:09] Hi, is there a way to get programmable macrokeys on my gaming keyboard to work in Ubuntu? [17:09] how do i learn this terminal? [17:09] sdwrage: or you can just get a macbookpro like me..use the terminal from there [17:09] it is a mystery with a dollar sign [17:09] ktebit: Lilarcor_ is right but on a larger-RAM machine swap is less important. 2-4 GiB of swap will be fine on a machine like that. some would suggest less. I tend to be conservative. [17:09] h8red: you'll learn it eventually.. [17:09] PhotoJim, yeah I used it to install apache, php and mysql [17:09] what does it mean? [17:09] no use making a swap > 2 gb [17:09] h8red: type 'help' :) [17:09] gzip tells me: foo.tar is set-group-id on execution - ignored [17:09] ashmew2: unless you want to hibernate [17:10] impy: do you know the manufacturer? if so, I would search their support for more clues [17:10] Saitek Cyborg [17:10] calc: hmm...Well i have 6 Gb of the real ones :P [17:10] I've been searching but haven't been able to find anything [17:10] h8red: get a book on Unix and go from there [17:10] h8red: http://oreilly.com/catalog/9781565923478/ [17:10] I can't use WINE to install their software to map it because it uses net 2.0 [17:10] ashmew2: then you would need roughly 6GB of swap to be able to hibernate the system [17:10] h8red: usually they'll tell you lots of terminal commands [17:11] impy: I think Mono supports .NET 2.0 [17:11] impy: maybe you need to get that installed and try from there [17:11] nobody knows? [17:11] I tried that [17:11] Their .NET 2.0 isn't complete [17:11] *support [17:12] how do I switch users in term?

One of the major appeals of Ubuntu is that installation of most standard packages is easy and the dependencies are automatically installed along with it.

Just wondering if I am on the right track. [20:02] Slart: I understand you... even so... do you know any way (hard way is good) [20:03] yoshimit: I would look into the "find" command [20:03] Slart: thanx... [20:03] jmulloy, look into virtual macines [20:03] yoshimit: there is an exec switch you can use to create command lines to execute for each file it finds.. very useful [20:03] is the fglrx ati stuff going to be worked out for the jaunty release?

[20:05] which package do I report bugs on resuming from standby? [20:05] its /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-defauly [20:05] default* rather [20:05] baron1804: I'm not very good with apache...

[20:06] Hey, can anyone tell me how I can recreate the database of installed applications in synaptic? [20:06] pawel__: by default all these different outputs end up in the same place.. your terminal window.. but you can redirect it to different places.. to files for example.. you can collect output in one file and errors in another.. [20:06] when I joined what did it say in the brackets next to my name? [20:07] what programs I need to install that I can get the wireless working [20:07] Hi, if I get multiple window managers for my Ubuntu, could there be any changes to metacity or kwin when installing a new one? assuming I use synaptic so no dependency problems [20:07] How can I enable sound in runlevel 3? [20:07] i need help with tearing [20:08] Hi, Just want to know if there is any mobile phone that has xterm in it with ssl client and xserver? [20:08] pawel__: I would have done exactly what you did.. I'm not sure how to do it any other way.. I was just offering an explanation of why what ends up in the variable doesn't match what is written in the terminal window [20:08] I'm running jaunty, buuut, I figure this might be a more general question. I want to mount a samba share in /media so my windows software running under WINE can access it, however, mounting through the GUI with the network thing under the "places" menu doesn't work. I can't access what it mounts with the windows software.

I am hoping to make an environment where the user could login that appearred to be a local admin account but did not effect the environment I have configured. [20:10] How I get my wireless network in this 8.10 version [20:10] harmony: you have to make it work. for what do you need the xserver? you could also install a terminal application and connect to the terminal of an other pc [20:11] theone: but for ssh -X [20:11] hi all [20:11] may I ask something? [20:11] Hey. Suspend suddenly stopped working. When I try to resume after standby, nothing happens. Why is it (automatic update?) and what can I do about it?

I got WINE to work with all of the games that I play; including the obscure ones. And I don't ever try to run things at full / max. all of my settings are ALWAYS on low. [20:27] profXavier, it's not Ubuntu's fault, or Linux for that matter, proprietary and licensing makes it difficult to make such things easy [20:27] PROject-Emerald: some stuff works using wine but usually considerably slower [20:27] PROject-Emerald: you shouldn't have to, these companies should be releasing linux versions [20:28] Would it be a bad idea to take a friends system32/windows folder and put in in my WINE? Like would that increase capability? [20:28] jmulloy, no linux does have that ability to just give them that permission [20:28] PROject-Emerald: that doesn't mean that there aren't games available for linux.. there are plenty.. just not quite as many as for windows [20:28] GOD I hate windows. Like, with a passion. [20:28] mostly shooter type games though [20:28] PROject-Emerald: I don't think it would improve things [20:29] jmulloy, to just install software or to give the ability to do everything but change network settings [20:29] I have a few machines connected to a local network. I can SSH from one to the other without any delay before the password prompt, but going the other way it delays about 5 seconds trying to resolve the IP. Neither IP should resolve.

[20:29] so, if i had every single file in a C:\windows folder in my WINE, things wouldn't improve compatability-wise? Like more programs wouldn't become more available?

Version 2.0.4-dfsg-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 6137 kB, installed size 20720 kB [20:51] Hi all. [20:52] macman_: it seems the one in the repos is 2.0.4 , that's ok? [20:52] yea [20:52] piloto: [20:52] or could it be running in backgroudn somewhere? Can I see somewhere what services are running? (I am very new with Linux, so I dont know many things yet) [20:52] macman_: that is of course the OSE version.. ie no USB stuff [20:52] i want that [20:52] evident: I don't know then. I do remember getting an error like that once where I didn't have any other synaptic windows open and I had to run a command for Synaptic that fixed it. [20:52] Slart: i want that one [20:52] macman_: you want the OSE version.. or you want the USB stuff? [20:53] why can't I find/mount a network drive under linux? It's just not there. I can admin it through http/browser but it's not there in network or server [20:53] macman_: ok, then just run "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose" in a terminal [20:53] Slart: i just want 2.04 with floppie support [20:53] trippssss: try CTRL+Shift+numlock and see if that changes your numeric keypad into cursor contol keys [20:53] What tool would be the best for quickly sorting through drivers? Syanptic package manager? [20:54] yep [20:54] scunizi, I'm on a laptop - that may be interesting. I'll give it a shot. [20:54] I thought Synaptic was for installing software packages...

[20:56] Pritesh: I am but am useless with unix [20:56] trippssss: np :) === bjk is now known as Guest10805 [20:56] Slart: did you get that [20:56] can you please tell me what this command does : grep -E '2009-04-16 [20:56] (1[6-9]:[0-5][0-9]|2[0-3]:[0-5][0-9])' [20:56] Pritesh: translating a command from what to what? [20:56] macman_: hmm... do you have any other versions of virtualbox installed? [20:56] Pritesh: it is a regular expression match. [20:56] Ok Devourer! Thanks for your help so far... do you still know the Synaptic commands? [20:57] yes [20:57] Slart: i shouldn't i did an apt-get remove virtualbox already [20:57] i think it is related to date and time [20:57] Pritesh: it matches 2009-04-16 followed by (16-24):(0-59) [20:57] where can I find an IRC operator to help me get rid of my dead lilarcor login from my blackberry? [20:57] macman_: and you haven't installed anything that you downloaded directly? say from suns website or something like that [20:58] !ghost [20:58] On IRC, if you own a nick that is currently being used, you can make it quit by typing: /msg nickserv GHOST [20:58] where 16-24 is hrs and 0-59 mins ? [20:58] Lilarcor_: check above .. the nick is probably ghost-ed [20:59] rindolf: what? [20:59] Slart: been a while [20:59] Pritesh: yes. [20:59] Slart: still no go, but it got a little further. "EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "mode=775" or missing value" is the last message [20:59] Piloto: sorry - I meant Pritesh [20:59] rindolf: Ok [21:00] hi all [21:00] macman_: that's the only thing I can think of.. that you have an older version hanging around in the background somewhere [21:00] <_akahige_> my Ubuntu system was converted from Xubuntu a few years ago and I just noticed in synaptic that there are still a bunch of Xubuntu and XFCE packages installed. any reason I shouldn't just uninstall those? (I'm assuming there's a reason why the conversion to Gnome left them...) [21:00] macman_: I'm not really sure how to remove it though, if that is the case [21:01] there is a progreame wat folk at lug talk og it builds ur unbuntu package what it called [21:01] !checkinstall [21:01] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [21:02] _akahige_: the conversion probably was not a conversion. sounds like you have both environments still installed === KIAaze__ is now known as KIAaze [21:02] hi [21:02] rindolf : is it possible for you to describe each section ?

[21:02] <_akahige_> reid: how would I verify that? [21:02] Good day (or night) to everyone, question on the ubuntu toolbar, (the one at the top and the one at the bottom) I deleted it and now cant get it back, any direction on how to resolve this would be very helpful, thank you [21:03] use envy to fix your drivers .. [21:03] and when i restart [21:03] Pritesh: (EXPR1|EXPR2) means match EXPR1 or EXPR2 [21:03] Devourer: checkinstall? it seems handy, yes.. never tried it myself though [21:03] bash_lover: not [21:03] a box popup [21:03] Slart: how do i find all the current software installed then ? not via synaptic [21:03] _akahige_: on the login screen, click options and see if you can still boot into XFCE [21:03] Pritesh: and : is a ":" character. [21:03] Piloto: install nvidia-settings then run nvidia-settings [21:04] Can someone help me out with skype on Ubuntu? [21:04] <_akahige_> reid: thanks. I'll try that [21:04] saying ubuntu is running in low graphics mode [21:04] Piloto, i recommend using envy [21:04] Slart: I spent like two hours gooogling it, and all I found was the noacpi, nolapic, etc type stuff. [21:04] macman_: I don't think there is a way to find *all* the software installed.. you can find the stuff that is installed using apt or dpkg but source installs and such doesn't show up anywhere afaik [21:04] _akahige_: if you can, then you still have all of the xfce stuff installed. google "remove xfce ubuntu" or something, and someone probably has a list of a HUGE apt-get command to remove it [21:04] Slart: I think I'll try it out next time I'm going to do a make install... I've always wondered if there was something like that.

I got an Asus EEE 1000HE Notebook, and I want Ubuntu on it. I do not own a Extern CD Driver, so I cannot use a Live CD to download. And I'm also not known with how to make partitions without using GParted's CD method. Please help me.

[22:47] Nasra: How was that offensive lang? [22:48] roflburger: you there? [22:48] yes elexodus [22:48] Noqq: Have a usb stick you could use instead of cd? [22:48] roflburger: so, you're in Gparted, right? [22:48] yes elexodus [22:48] elexodus: What kind of mac was it you said? [22:48] roflburger: OK, what changes do you want to make? [22:48] ienorand: Ye, but I read 3 full explain USB methods how to make it live, but I cannot seem to understand it. [22:48] ienorand: well....not that bad.....but can you do though? [22:49] elexodus, i want to make my linux partition bigger [22:49] ienorand: Powermac 400GHZ G$ circa 2004. [22:49] ienorand: it was not me though [22:49] I tried pressing F8, F9, F12 and Delete on my Notebooks startup, it won't enter a BIOS. [22:49] Noqq: F2 ? [22:49] Noqq: Are you in windows? [22:49] ienorand: Yes, XP. [22:50] roflburger: Ok, if you're working off of the linux partition you want to expand, you need to make a gparted liveCD, and boot into that before making any changes. Otherwise you will need to reinstall EVERYTHING. [22:50] pspsampsp_: thanks man [22:50] elexodus, oh :/ [22:50] ienorand: I also use Wubi, I installed it to D:\ (Windows is in C:\), but Ubuntu wouldn't start (no Dual Boot screen). It entered Windows straight away. [22:50] Noqq: use unetbootin [22:51] Noqq: Why not just install on another partitian and use GRUB to boot? [22:51] Noqq: Provided you are able to start from usb on your netbook, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ is an easy way to get a live-usb [22:51] is it possible to install vista and ubuntu on two different hard disk and configure grub to start both??? [22:51] <_akahige_> when I got to print from Firefox, I have no available printers to choose from -- not even cups pdf. can anyone help me diagnose? [22:51] ienorand/schiznebit: Thanks, I'll check that one out aswell. Hopefully it's more explained around the BIOS par, to get your USB device bootable. [22:52] babio1: not at the same time :) [22:52] of course not [22:52] :D [22:52] ienorand: Is Unetbootin included with a partition option? [22:52] but one at time???? :D [22:52] babio1: at least I don't think so.. would be an interesting project though... [22:52] hi all is it possible to play vids from CLI only, i hav already tried aaxine [22:53] Noqq: its not oging to live, it will just use the install option automatically === Andre_Gondim-afk is now known as Andre_Gondim [22:53] Noqq: Unetbootin basically puts the livecd on a usb... so it works just like the equivalent livecd [22:53] noren: as in ascii art video? :D [22:53] ienorand/shiznebit: Ye, but I also got troubles with making a partition on my C:\ device. [22:54] _akahige_: Try adding a new printer (System->Administration->Printing) selecting the “Local Printer” “PDF Printer” option. In the next step choose “Generic Printer” and then used the “Postscript Color Printer (Ver 3)” driver. Now you should be able to print to pdf by selecting the newly setup printer. [22:54] _akahige_: try ... sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and see if that doesn't fix the issue.. [22:54] thanks elexodus [22:54] For the record.

[23:14] bash_lover: I have plenty left. Drop it.

[23:32] danil: yay :) [23:33] I'm thinking I will just stop using sessions and instead have sessions point to a sort of config file of my own that starts things. And I can control the order that they run and when they run with sleep. Can anyone see any problems with this? [23:33] ok now thats done how do i go about finding out if my gameport is working? [23:34] i believe it is on 0x200 [23:34] is it possible to create a user that can only be logged in via ssh [23:34] it may be different in ubuntu [23:34] part [23:35] gameport like ... joystick/controller should be listed in /dev/input ?
