[00:05] Linuz2009: yes [00:06] android6011: it can be buggy at times though you can install skins and customize the interface if you wish [00:06] alright I'll be back in a few minutes........ [00:06] Need multimonitor help I have a paste bin with all the info http://pastebin.com/d2dfdc522 [00:06] Linuz2009: have a look at your speakers first, see if they are connected... [00:06] Geekneeus, I wasn't aware you could use different skins [00:06] FlashGordon2000, Make sure you use a capital "X" with that command [00:07] android6011: Indeed you can, I have a MAC skin on mine right now [00:07] heh [00:07] Jordan_U, yea, 5372 [00:07] how do i change the font size on the login screen ? [00:08] you know how compiz makes your workspaces into a cube? Is there any way to make each side of the cube a different desktop? [00:08] FlashGordon2000, OK, for whatever reason X is running. Try running "sudo pkill X" then try "pgrep X" again to see if it's gone [00:09] ookz: thanx.. are there any simpler solutions? [00:09] my soundblaster audigy 2 zs, it keeps cuttin up [00:09] Genolo: you mean a different desktop background?

[00:10] Genolo: ah i see. i don't know. it may be possible with kde 4.2, but i doubt it's possible w/ gnome === lolpez is now known as FlashGordon2000 [00:10] How can I reinstall the default Xserver-xorg OSS drivers from a Live CD session? [00:10] oh okay [00:10] dust: I'm afraid you're not being very specific [00:10] Jordan_U, that restarted the gui [00:11] how can i run a bluetooth obex server on my machine, so i can browse the filesystem through bluetooth from other machine? [00:11] Geekneeus: it's like how do i explain it, [00:11] Geekneeus: my movies and music lags [00:11] dingdong: That's the only one I know of for data recovery [00:11] Jordan_U, and I just attempted pgrep X again and I got 7091 [00:11] FlashGordon2000, Then GDM ( or {K,X}DM ) is still running for some reason [00:12] Geekneeus: ok now in rythmbox i've listen to 5minutes without a lag. [00:12] and I'm not sure what other people use but it's effective with NTFS systems [00:12] anyone know of a way to have rm produce a list of what it *would* delete without actually doing it? [00:12] ookz/ thanx [00:12] does anyone know how to get hamachi to run on ubuntu? the directions are foggy [00:12] Hi im currently using an eee pc 1000 and i can't get my built in mic to work without breaking my sound? [00:12] like a simulation mode [00:13] I'm seeing some very weird sendmail behaviour. See http://pastie.org/private/3btwqa64kpbeleoowcu7q Lets say I send mail to a non-existant domain, tom@bl3sc.com. Sendmail accepts the connection, but then, when it sees no DNS records, it tacks '.co.nz' on the end and then it just sits in the queue. Why would it do this? [00:13] dust: ok, and how often does the sound "cut" up? [00:13] hi [00:13] how do I find out what my CPU multiplier is? [00:13] 67 [00:13] Geekneeus: hmm i'll try again a movie [00:13] FlashGordon2000, What is the output from "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop" ? ( if it's more than 2 lines please use pastebin ) [00:13] Jordan_U, Is there a way to fix that.. [00:13] Gadu: that would depend on your motherboard/bios [00:13] Can't play sound in my computer [00:14] Gadu: do you know how many GHz your processor runs at? [00:14] thebackwash: so my bios will tell me? or would my motherboard specs list that? [00:14] Jordan_U ignore my last message [00:14] I'm having issues with multiple monitors http://paste.ubuntu.com/154370/ [00:14] because of malfunction [00:14] Geekneeus: mm it works now, i whent to sound and did some adjustments! [00:14] thebackwash: 2.7GHz [00:14] thebackwash: duel core [00:14] thebackwash, try replacing rm with ls [00:15] can someone tell me is HD Realtek audio better thatn SB Audigy 2 ZS [00:15] what should u use? [00:15] so I am guessing the support for intel's X3100 is not that great right now as far as 9.04-rc1 and desktop effects? [00:15] what is the easiest way to restore xp boot from a trippleboot system containing vista and ubuntu(both of which do boot)? [00:15] dust: SB audigy is without a doubt way better [00:15] Gadu: if you divide the clock speed (2.7 GHz) by the system bus speed (available on the motherboard spec sheet) it should give you the multiplier. it's been a while since i've worked with that and i might be a bit rusty. [00:15] dingdong, add it to grub [00:15] mylogic: ok [00:16] how do you abort the shutdown command? [00:16] anyone [00:16] Hi. :) You are all invited to join the global Ubuntu Voice meeting live right now, at the #BerkeleyTIP channel on freenode.net. http://sites.google.com/site/berkeleytip/ BerkeleyTIP - All Free SW HW & Culture Global Group - Talks Installfest Potluck Project/ProgrammingParty - Join IRC & we'll help you get onto the VOIP conference.

[00:16] thebackwash: not actually going to change it. just like to know as much as I can ^_^ [00:16] n2diy, ^C [00:16] jdu: i want a straight list, file by file without the ls -R formatting [00:16] jdu: doh! thanks. [00:16] n2diy, or shutdown -c [00:16] rejohn: Please don't advertise here. Thanks. [00:17] can i make ubuntu desktop into a webserver to host wordpress [00:17] Flannel: Thanks, but that is _not_ an advertisement, it is an invitation. [00:17] jdu: something like what's listed by the find command [00:17] Wow [00:17] thebackwash, in other words no directories and totals like from ls [00:18] jdu: yeah [00:18] rejohn: Regardless of how you'd like to classify it, this channel is for support only. [00:18] I'm using virtualbox ose on ubuntu 8.10, trying to install windows 7. a prompt came up telling me I need to download missing drivers but I don't where that's supposed to be [00:18] Need multi monitor support trying to hook this computer up to my tv and it won't read it. It starts to at boot but then looses signal === troy08 is now known as troy09 [00:19] Flannel: one can get support from the BTIP meeting also, [00:19] can i make ubuntu desktop into a webserver to host wordpress [00:19] does anyone know how to get hamachi to run on ubuntu? the directions are foggy [00:19] rejohn: Point being, this channel is not for advertisements, nor invitations. This is just a channel for Ubuntu support. [00:20] how can i run a bluetooth obex server on my machine, so i can browse the filesystem through bluetooth from other machine? [00:20] when I shutdown a machine remotely, shouldn't the other machine notify the user it is shutting down? [00:20] Gadu: dmesg | grep CPU will give you some info that might be of interest [00:20] Dreamglider: tyvm! [00:20] Can anyone see me? [00:21] ookz: yes [00:21] ookz: yes [00:21] ok [00:21] LOL [00:21] thebackwash, well, you could do ls -R1 | command that filters out extra lines containing / [00:21] ookz: yes you'r butt naked ! [00:21] hi guys [00:21] hey [00:21] hello [00:21] my sound is totally wierd you know [00:21] n2diy, Do you mean that for instance messages from shutdown should be sent via a desktop notification so users not in a terminal will see them? [00:21] Hey telefonstolpen [00:21] rejohn: #ubuntu-offtopic would be one example of an appropriate place, for instance. [00:21] Ned2: Doesn't sound Ubuntu-related. [00:21] it keeps repeating itself :/ [00:21] is there a way to make ubuntu desktop into a webserver to host wordpress [00:21] some kind of bug i assume ? [00:21] Does anyone know how to put firefox into a gDesklet? [00:22] does anyone know how to get hamachi to run on ubuntu? [00:22] DJVistaMan, you can install a webserver on it, but not turn the system into a webserver [00:22] Jordan_U: yes, I think. The other box was scheduled to shut down in 10 minutes, but the user, in X, had no way of knowing that. === lolpez is now known as FlashGordon2000 [00:22] Anyone know how to fix this? I run a sudo i810swtich crt on and i get this error PCI id of i810 is not recognized [00:22] kk [00:22] alright [00:22] Genolo: http://www.supware.net/HamachiUbuntuHowto/ [00:22] hi people! I use cyrillic on my linux, and it works fine, however, on mozilla, when I try to type cyrillic on a flash window, it doesnt type.. please suggest smth [00:23] how would i go about doing this? [00:23] ok this might sound silly, but how do I find the system bus speed? xD [00:23] n2diy, Seems like a reasonable proposal, you should file a bug report [00:23] thebackwash, so ls -R1 | perl -pi -e "s/.*://" [00:23] Gadu: it should match the RAM speed, which the bios should tell you [00:23] where is firefox installed (path)? I'm on 8.10 [00:23] Jordan_U: ok, file the report on X? [00:23] jdu: i appreciate the help, but ls won't do it [00:24] hey ppl, how do i enable 6channels in my alsa/pulseaudio settings [00:24] DJVistaMan, sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql5-server php5 [00:24] it's 2ch now, can hear only front speakers [00:24] ok [00:24] Jordan_U, when I ran that command, it stalled saying "starting anac(h) ronistic cron anacron" [00:24] thanks [00:24] good bye [00:24] thebackwash, sorry, the previous command would remove the extra formatting. -1 makes it line per line and the perl removes the lines about directories [00:24] ! bug [00:24] n2diy, I would say against shutdown since it uses wall right now to notify users it should also try to use libnotify [00:24] ok i'll try that [00:25] thebackwash: always comes back to the bios =( my monitor can't see my bios so I have to switch it out every time I want to go to it =/ [00:25] ! bug [00:25] thebackwash, too bad that rm doesn't have it already. [00:25] Jordan_U: ok. [00:25] hello. my numpad is not working... how can I enable it? I'm using ubuntu, and I check preferences > keyboard and nothing came up (using gnome) [00:25] ! bugs [00:26] i am trying to install flash and i'm being asked where my firefox path is? I am on Ubuntu 8.10, how can I found out? [00:26] jdu: yeah, but i think the find command is going to be better, because i like having absolute paths returned for stuff like that [00:26] is the bot down? how do I file a bug report? [00:26] still don't entirely trust my rm swagger [00:26] thebackwash, makes sense, find would work. good luck [00:26] SlAiD: is your number pad controlling your mouse at all? [00:26] !bugs | n2diy [00:26] jdu: thanks [00:26] n2diy, bugs.ubuntu.com [00:26] np, didn't help much [00:27] Flannel: Thanks for that channel suggestion. Unfortunately, in my Konversation client, your messge didn't remain onscreen long enought for me to read the channel name. [00:27] Has anyone here ever modified the rules file for a Debian package? [00:27] rejohn: #ubuntu-offtopic [00:27] Flannel: Thanks. [00:27] Gadu, no, but 6 turn the cursor to left, and 4 to right, and so on. if that was the case, I know the option to enable/disable that [00:27] but its simple not working as typing numbers [00:27] :x [00:28] and yes, i hit the num lock on/off key lol [00:28] weird thing :| [00:28] Jordan_U, did you get my previous message? [00:28] SlAiD: =P did you try changing the keyboard in your xorg.conf? [00:29] baz, did you get your answer? [00:29] Hello [00:29] FlashGordon2000, I have now :) Try running "sudo pkill gdm" [00:29] baz, /usr/lib/firefox is a fine installation path [00:30] I guess not [00:30] i can only hear music in my front speakers!??! [00:30] Jordan_U, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" is better if the goal is to stop gdm [00:31] jdu, He said that stalled though ( and failed to stop GDM ) [00:31] Jordan_U, oh, ;( [00:31] jdu, hmmm, the installer doesn't like that, its asking for "Please enter a valid installation path" [00:31] baz, try /usr/lib/mozilla [00:31] baz, I forget what type of path does it suggest? [00:32] Gadu, no. how can I do that? [00:32] and what parameters should I set? [00:32] jdu, thats what it suggests, but when i provide it, it complains === lolpez is now known as FlashGordon2000 [00:32] can anyobdy confirm that vlc is buggy like hell in jaunty? [00:32] Jordan_U, when I executed that command the screen went insane [00:33] on5sl: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks [00:33] and I had to reboot [00:33] on5sl→ nope - also, try in #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty requests [00:33] 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 [00:33] n2diy: please see above [00:33] baz, try manually copying there, that is all the installation does anyway [00:33] jdu, ah nice! [00:33] FlashGordon2000, You might as well just reboot again but into recovery mode and install the drivers from there [00:34] Gadu ? [00:34] baz, sorry you will want to put in the plugins directory in side that directory [00:35] anyone tried the new ubuntu armel edition on a nokia n810? === dylnuge|away is now known as dylnuge [00:35] troy09 didnt work... as number 3... try another number? [00:35] Jordan_U and every time I update, just do that? [00:35] Jordan_U, well I suppose Id have to see if this works first lol [00:35] FlashGordon2000, Yes, or you might actually wand to just remove the manual drivers now and install envy-ng [00:36] Jordan_U, do I need to be in safe mode to install envy-ng? [00:37] FlashGordon2000, no [00:37] jdu, how can i now test whether it is using this new version [00:37] Does anyone know anything about getting desktop effects working with an intel x3100? [00:38] hi people! I use cyrillic on my linux, and it works fine, and on windows too. however, on mozilla in linux, when I try to type cyrillic on a flash window, it doesnt type.. please suggest smth [00:39] baz, go to the flash website and it will tell you what version you are using [00:40] jdu, thanks dude [00:40] progre55: my guess is that Flash is not UTF-8 aware [00:40] no problem [00:43] FlashGordon2000: can't you use the restricted drivers? === bruenig is now known as Himself === Himself is now known as bruenig [00:43] Histo, tried all 3 availible, 173, 176, 180, none of them worked [00:43] FlashGordon2000: what type of card do you have?

I left a chunk of free space for Ubuntu to install onto, so I'm hoping I don't have to nuke the whole partition table. Where should I be installing GRUB? [01:00] histo: pretty cool, i like the ! switch. nifty :) [01:00] FlashGordon2000, you might want to get into sysnaptic and take a look at what pkgs are installed (use 'nvidia' as a key word in the search dialog).

If i hit escape, the options box flickers but then reappears. I can't boot. Ideas? [01:04] metalfan_ feed the mouse some crystal meth [01:04] Flannel, Ubottu: Thanks, and funny that ubottu answered that question itself. [01:04] metalfan_ turn down the game settings a bit may help [01:04] Sniper606, im out [01:04] starcannon, its the same in the menu [01:04] metalfan_ do you have desktop effects turned on while playing UT?

[01:11] anyone familiar with using wakeonlan through the internet with a router? when i do "wakonlan " from another computer on the router, it works fine, but doing "wakeonlan -i -p ", it does nothing.

[01:12] i need to draw some schematic drawings [01:12] DinkyDogg: not sure on your specifics, but a clicking harddrive is a dying one. [01:12] hey guys back [01:13] how much slower would Wubi make my linux run? openoffice takes a while to open [01:13] zamba tri Dia [01:13] erm try Dia ;) [01:13] hrrm, where can I download 9.04? === Haiku is now known as BePhantom === Las1 is now known as Lasivian [01:14] ubuntu.com [01:14] Lasivian: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty questions, thanks. (9.04 doesn't exist yet) [01:14] sproaty nearly imperceptible for most people wubi vs regular install speed [01:14] oh, silly me [01:14] sproaty: wubi only causes slowdown with disk I/O (due to the extra wrapper) and it's not much. [01:14] it takes like 2minutes to boot, windows XP takes like 25s [01:16] sexcopter, that much i had determined [01:16] hard drive is going into the freezer [01:16] hopefully that'll save it [01:16] it was really hot when i pulled it out [01:17] What do I need to do to be able to scp a file from a windows box to my ubuntu box? It tells me connection refused when I try to use WinSCP [01:17] Whitor: openssh-server [01:17] thanks Flannel [01:17] Whitor: ssh-access. [01:18] thank you too ewook [01:18] oh. brainlagg. [01:18] both of thos say command not found [01:19] googling... I'll figgure it out [01:19] you need to install it Whitor [01:19] lol looks like durt is still afk [01:19] Whitor: you need ssh-access thro openssh-server. package name should go by sshd I guess [01:19] ^_^ [01:19] openssh-server [01:19] !sshd [01:19] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [01:20] ooo ok. I'll check that out. Thaks for the additional info [01:20] np [01:20] FlashGordon2000 you need guide link again? [01:20] hi guys, which alternate to nautilus, support better multiple wallpapers, and or, different desktop icons (on workspaces)? I tried compiz' but I needed to disable desktop from nautilus and my icons are gone... [01:21] you mean gnome dhalsim? or you lookin for a different file manager [01:21] file manager or window manager [01:21] how do i change LFE to use in Rear Right speaker?!?! [01:21] Battle of wesnoth is acctually quite fun :) [01:22] ewook yup, I've killed a few hours on that one myself, its excellent on netbooks to (if you compile it for that) [01:22] starcannon, no ive got it here [01:22] starcannon: works like a charm on my work-laptop ;) === rafik is now known as eclipse94 [01:22] agreed, I think it's one of the nicest free games available [01:23] starcannon: took it directly from the repo, to lazy to compile stuff myself. [01:23] lacinex: I think it is related to nautilus because nautilus is responsible by desktop, right? [01:23] hi just upgraded to jaunty and reinstalled dvb-utils but when i try to scan for channels there is no /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples folder ??? [01:23] [01:23] g4lv4tr0n: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks. [01:23] cool ty [01:24] ewook, yeah on my asus eee 702 I had to compile it for the screen size, I forget the flag now, but it sets the game to 840x480 resolution for those little 7inch screens [01:24] Thanks again ewook and Flannel, I installed the ssh metapackage through synaptic and BANG! everything worked as expected [01:25] starcannon, thx [01:25] metalfan_ that solved you? [01:25] no [01:25] oh doh! lol [01:26] Anyone know if the GeForce 8300 on my ASUS board is compatible with 8.04? I got it to work in 8.10, but I installed the GLX driver from Hardware Drivers dialog and I never get to a desktop after reboot. [01:26] starcannon: aah. but.. shouldn't that be set in a config instead of in a binary? =( [01:26] metalfan_ i think I remember the cursor being a bit slow in menu's as well, but seemed like once I was on a map, everything was as it should be [01:27] durt, still afk? [01:27] is there a good program to erase files beyond reasonable recovery? [01:27] ewook can't remember now, lemme look how it went lol, its been awhile, and I'm on a Dell Mini9 for my netbook nowdays, and wife is on an MSi Wind [01:27] in windows its normally called bleaching or shreding [01:28] hacker_kid, sudo apt-get install shred [01:28] starcannon: how do you like the dell mini9 [01:28] hacker_kid, or something similar it was [01:28] starcannon: you've got either patience, or small hands :P [01:28] locainex the keyboard ruins it for me, I wish I'd have gotten the MSi Wind as well [01:28] hrm [01:28] DASPRiD, thank you [01:28] hacker_kid, nvcm, shred is installed by default [01:28] ewook the keyboard isn't too small, its poorly layed out === f0urty5 is now known as f0urtyfive [01:29] remap? [01:29] ewook the keyboard on the Asus eee, now those are tiny [01:29] starcannon: that's like my only comparison so far. don't go below 12" :) [01:30] starcannon, the mouse is also very cheap, logitech rx250.....have to buy a new one tomorrow [01:30] ewook the MSi Wind has a large keyboard, quite comfortable, I keep threatening to steal it from my wife lol [01:30] lol [01:30] hah [01:32] hi can someone using dvb zip up the /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples folder and dcc it to me plz JAUNTY dont have it :( [01:33] ewook in case you were interested it was the config file before you run make on it: ./configure --enable-tinygui --prefix=/usr [01:34] starcannon: aah. well, good to know at least ;) [01:34] ewook lol, i suppose, but highly unlikely, I anticipate that 10" screens will be the defacto for netbooks, I've tried 7", 8.9", and now 10" and its the perfect fit of very small, but not too. [01:35] is there a standard directory to keep SVN lib sources on my PC or should i keep them in home folder ? [01:36] rafael_ I just stashed mine in folder in /home/me [01:36] ./configure says: checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0... Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gtk+-2.0' found. full pastebin: http://pastebin.com/m45393f2f [01:37] kriel did you install build-essential ? [01:37] starcannon: yup [01:37] starcannon: k, just thought there is some standard directory, *nix is full of this standards as I understand it and i'm pretty new to it :) [01:38] kriel did you check to see if you have gtk+-2.x on your machine? be sure to grab its dev files as well [01:38] i have two NIC's, I wanna setup two IP addresses, a world IP and an intranet IP. world IP is on static while the intranet IP is on dhcp. as I configured it, eth0 is the intranet ip (having it on dhcp) while eth1 is on the world IP (configured it to static), how come if i enable the two connections i dont have any connection what so ever.. [01:38] durt, still afk? [01:39] starcannon: forgot the dev files, but yes, in the pastebin i made sure apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 [01:39] what setting should I look at to have built in laptop speakers turn off automatically when headset is plugged in ? [01:39] rafael_ yeah, when your compiling, you'll be working out of the folder you put the source in so its never been a problem for me [01:39] kriel try the dev files for those as well, am betting that gets you cooking [01:39] FlashGordon2000, what's up? [01:39] what was I supposed to do in the synaptic package manager [01:39] I mean, I don't have internet access. btw, the intranet IP has to have a dns server set to 192,168.1.1 while the static world IP has to have a different dns server aswell.. [01:39] How do I make a .zip from a folder and all it's contents using zip on the commandline? [01:40] FlashGordon2000, install the 180.44.xx versions of the nvidia drivers. [01:40] FlashGordon2000, and uninstall the 173 versions [01:40] starcannon: bingo. Thanks. [01:40] kriel np anytime [01:40] hello [01:40] yo [01:41] poseidon man zip [01:41] i have a problem [01:41] ive got a 1Tb hard drive arriving tomorrow, cos im running out of space. Whats a convenient way to clone my linux system from one hard drive to a new one? [01:41] i'm trying to install g++-4.0 [01:41] AussieGuy, could use gparted [01:41] How do i join the IRC server irc.swiftirc.net [01:41] gparted does more than partitioning? [01:41] oi [01:41] it says: dependancy not satisfiable libstdc++6-4.0-dev [01:41] AussieGuy dd [01:41] cdnffffflllllllnkwae [01:41] AussieGuy, put it can also copy from one hard drive to another [01:42] when i try to install libstdc++6-4.0-dev it sais dependancy not satisfiable g++-4.0 [01:42] *but [01:42] wats your name??? [01:42] so each one is depending on each other, what to do!?? [01:42] alright, I guess all id need to do after that is re-run the bootloader [01:42] :) [01:42] portugues [01:42] I've been trying to get my apple keyboard to use the function (F1-15, etc) keys as they're supposed to be use, as function keys. Many of the ways I've tried have not worked. Does anyone have something/encountered this problem before? [01:42] durt, i dont need to worry about modaliases? [01:42] seu idiotas [01:43] is there a pdf editor for ubuntu like acrobat? [01:43] !pt tavinho [01:43] anyone? [01:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about pt tavinho [01:43] working with large pdfs in a virtual machine having only 512 ram sucks! [01:43] AussieGuy, sure, I would suggest that you are more likely to run into problems with dd and gparted will allow you to add additional partitions etc easily. [01:44] damn [01:44] FlashGordon2000, no don't worry about modaliases or devs [01:44] durt, ok, but no 173 packages are installed [01:45] durt, besides modaliases [01:45] I've been trying to get my apple keyboard to use the function (F1-15, etc) keys as they're supposed to be use, as function keys. Many of the ways I've tried have not worked. Does anyone have something/encountered this problem before? [01:45] AussieGuy jdu is probably right, gparted has a nice gui, dd is cli, though there are some cool utilities like clonezilla that could be just the ticket as well; just depends on how much you want to learn etc.. [01:46] ugh. something in the make puked, and I don't have the wizardry to figure out wtf it's puking at me about. http://pastebin.com/d578cf7b4 [01:46] how would i find out what kind of ram i have in ubuntu?

Is there an easy way to see what has grabbed port 80? [01:52] kriel you'd be able to tour Europe before that got done lol [01:52] no idea [01:52] starcannon: libpcap-dev (or whatever) fixed it. [01:52] kriel cool [01:52] kriel: Mind as well go all the way and just [NOT THIS ONE EITHER] sudo apt-get install * [01:52] cdsboy, what do you mean by hijacked? [01:53] durt: i can't figure out which program has control of it ;) i'm just being dramatic [01:53] kriel: Assuming your hard drive didn't fill up, we'd all be dead by the time it finished, hehe. [01:53] hmm okay it says my capacity is 1gb....does it mean total or just for the one slot being used? [01:53] how can I know what app is using my sound card?

Except you have to install everything to unlock it! ;) [01:55] starcannon: mine e-dimensional works when I select it on the volume mixer, I can hear myself speaking on the mic [01:55] dylnuge lol, not sure if it is an easter egg or just a lessor known side effect; unfortunately it also means chuck norris will visit to challenge your computer [01:55] but when I try playng an video with mplayer [01:56] or using skype [01:56] there is no sound [01:56] I have an extra cluser on my NTFS partition which is preventing Windows XP from booting. can you help?

I need to rmmod snd-hda-intel to test diferent options and I really don't want to reboot 10 times [01:58] cool idea, terrible programming [01:58] xserver 1.6 has MPX merged in, but turned off, right? [01:59] Chaorain boot the WinXP install disk, go to repair console, run chkdsk [01:59] ok i'm assuming in lshow that when it says my maximum ram is 1 gigabyte, it's meaning 1 gigabyte per slot, making a true max 2 gigs. [01:59] FlashGordon2000, now your loading the vesa module. What computer is this? [01:59] if i get 2 gigs of ram, and allocate 512 to an XP virtual machine, it should pretty much fly right? [01:59] h8red: you can see memory with top [01:59] starcannon thanks I'll try that [01:59] anybody know how to get bash to return an absolute path with all shell characters, (spaces, hash marks, parentheses, dollar, braces, etc.) escaped? [01:59] h8red thats how I do it, and it is faster in a Virtual Machine than on a real machine [01:59] durt, hp pavillion dv6000 series, I can give you the specific model number if that helps [02:00] FlashGordon2000, I have a very similar computer. What's the problem? [02:00] thebackwash: pwd [02:00] starcannon: Currently this box has 512 ram, 192 of which allocated to my XP VM, and it runs...well...terribly [02:00] thebackwash: that would print current working directory [02:00] sweet, looks like this Mobo does DDR, can save some money upgrading. [02:01] h8red, that's because XP needs way more than 192mb to run [02:01] h8red yeah that would probably be kinda anemic, 2gb of ram and give 512 to Virtual Box and its pretty impressive [02:01] histo: hi, remember that cursor 'blit' problem in Jaunty from a day or two ago? It does the same in Intrepid ;( [02:01] TheFunkbomb, the nvidia 180.44 which _should_ be correct for his card won't work.

[02:01] histo: i'm trying to write a function which will feed a fully-escaped path to pushd [02:01] FlashGordon2000 hmmm [02:01] starcannon: when I select the USB headset and press test it works [02:01] FlashGordon2000, Still have synaptic up? [02:01] thefunkbomb, i used the nvidia one you can download off thier site, but when I updated ubuntu it stopped working [02:01] durt, yes [02:02] but when I close it and try other applications [02:02] there is no sound [02:02] histo: The way that the mouse pixels are drawn, a nickname for the process [02:02] still...this is concerning me... i dont know much about this hardware, i was just given this box...but 1 gig max according to lshw, that seems really off [02:02] thebackwash: hmm... some script genius may know a way to do it. [02:02] FlashGordon2000 I think you have file conflicts happening, need to really clean out all the things you've tried and start fresh, my guide shows how [02:02] FlashGordon2000, did you check in Hardware Drivers? [02:02] Nautilus__: no idea on that. Maybe a video issue? [02:02] someone uses Rhythmbox?? [02:02] histo: know of any irc channels where people would know that? [02:02] thefunkbomb yes, i think i may go with starcannon's guide [02:02] HI [02:02] LZZ perfect if you leave it selected and then open your media play you should be golden [02:02] FlashGordon2000, sounds like the best plan of assault [02:02] histo: ya must be with the intel chipset.

[03:02] tas nice [03:02] ubuntu+1 is a ghost town [03:02] Z3ro3X, its an eee pc [03:02] Frijolie someone is in there trying to answer your question [03:02] you should see ubuntu-1 then [03:03] Z3ro3X, its the 1000 version [03:03] Yeah, really. I failed hard on that, I should've read up more before I messed with the partitions. But what I wanna know is if Jaunty plays nice with the Macbook [03:03] im working on a python formula if i needed to square room the whole formula which i would encompass in () but already needs parathesis for other parts can do it twice ? [03:03] I figure Intrepid does it well enough, but I dunno about Jaunty [03:03] dotblank: im following you and ben90's convo, im having the same issue [03:03] hector__, My brother was having a similar problem with his mic on an Acer notebook. I couldn't ever figure it out. [03:03] hi, just want to ask if someone knows the wine support channel? [03:03] Is there a way to capture 3D models from applications in Ubuntu? [03:03] hey you have to reformat the whole drive anyways might as well give it a try [03:04] gooody: #winehq [03:04] root* [03:04] hhp2k: thanks a lot. [03:04] Z3ro3X, oh man i have been looking for hours [03:04] gooody: You're welcome :) [03:04] dotblank, gartral, i'm gonna pastebin it [03:04] hey taz you have to reformat the whole drive anyways might as well give it a try [03:04] True [03:04] hector__, You wouldn't happen to be in the Army would you. My brother is in the Army stationed I think in El Paso. Isn't that near Waco? [03:04] Thanks Psywiped [03:04] O: [03:04] I guess I will, then [03:05] How do you turn on sshd? [03:05] hector__: Have you tried Eeebuntu? [03:05] Tas just do all the partitions before you install stuff [03:05] and backup your grub [03:05] maxbaldwin: sudo aptitude install ssh [03:05] !grub [03:05] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:05] dotblank: no change for me, im suspecting a bum port [03:05] maxbaldwin: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start (or somthing like it) [03:06] I cannot reboot my computer when I use LiveCD [03:06] Z3ro3X, Texas is big and it is kind of close to Waco. I am only a college student. [03:06] Thanks, I will backup [03:06] histo: I have opensshinstalled already. dotblank, that wasn't working. But ssh isn't installed, that's probably why it doesn't work... [03:06] Frijolie: if your problem was caused by disk encryption, you should have a high cpu load caused by the program that actually does the encryption. You don't, so it's not the case. Try to run glxgears and tell me the frame rate that that utility writes on the console (after a little while, it should be like " 11770 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2353.889 FPS [03:06] ). [03:06] Z3ro3X, yeah I have tried it. I just wanted to try the latest ubuntu [03:06] Actually my partitions screwing up was my fault, I deleted the Linux Swap partition thinking it was useless. [03:06] ...yeah [03:06] maxbaldwin: ssh is just a meta package for the openssh server package. [03:07] i'm trying to install ubuntu 6.10 on a machine, it is crashing after i click on the button to "try ubuntu without any change to this computer", i get an "end trace 4eaa2a86a8e2da22" message, how can i debug or fix this? [03:07] dotblank, gartral, go to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d6c7e5a72 [03:07] maxbaldwin: once its installed it should be on and listening on port 22 by default. Settings are in /etc/ssh and you can start stop status by sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start [03:07] tas the swap partition should be 2x the amount of ram you have [03:07] Yeah, I know that now [03:07] Can someine help me [03:07] hector__, I think that was zonyl asking you about Eeebuntu. [03:07] I'm having a problem compiling a module against my kernel [03:07] tas and you could use a live cd to make it again [03:08] The Linux Swap? [03:08] I did that, but it didnt work [03:08] The system only worked again after I reinstalled the whole deal [03:08] here is the output: http://pastebin.ca/1396971 [03:08] tas you might have to edit fstab [03:08] oh man it started with a z so i just that it was you [03:08] And by then I'd managed to corrupt windows 7 :O [03:08] histo: sudo /etc/ssh start, or sshd? [03:08] Kilo: can you describe a little more? [03:09] zonyl, I have tried eee ubuntuu I just want to have the latest ubuntu. [03:09] taz would that be corrupton of a minor? [03:09] hector__: Yah, that was me. I had so many issues with my eeepc wifi / audio / etc, that I ended up putting the netbook remix on it. Life is good on that machine now. [03:09] Ben90: is it usb? [03:09] is it safe? [03:09] dotblank, its a gameport joystick [03:09] zonyl, does wine work in the netbook remix? [03:10] Honestly? I have no idea. Windows wanted me to run..what was it [03:10] chkdsk /f [03:10] but it said the volume was write protected [03:10] hector__: Never had the occasion to use it.. Let me boot it up and try [03:10] o that will mess some things up [03:10] I suppose it's a limitation caused by OS X and BootCamp, Or something to that effect [03:10] Ben90: ah well now thats different [03:10] In any case, I formatted the partition and after Ubuntu finishes updating I'll go reinstall it [03:10] dotblank, ok. [03:11] zonyl, thank you its just i need to get rossetta stone to work [03:11] dotblank, so can you help me? [03:11] histo: ok, that worked. thanks. Would you also happen to know the location of cron, so I can add things to it...? [03:11] yes wine will work on a netbook [03:11] invernizzi, 4082 frames in 5.0 seconds = 816.101 FPS [03:11] So in essence the problem was solved; I just wanted to know if Jaunty was runnable on the Macbook 5,1 [03:11] And if so whether it usually runs better or worse than Intrepid [03:11] Ben90: have you tried this? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-set-up-a-gameportgamepad-or-joystick-in-ubuntu.html [03:12] dotblank: i have the same thing, a gamport joystick and no way to set it up >.> [03:12] but does it work in the netbook remix of ubuntu? [03:12] tas a mac is just a expensive pc with fruit on it [03:12] dotblank, 1 sec [03:12] and missing a mouse button [03:12] hector__ yes [03:12] USB normal mouse for the win, actually :O [03:12] So basically, yes? [03:12] Hooray [03:12] hi, could u recommend any download manager for ubuntu 8.10 [03:12] Thanks, both of you [03:13] apt [03:13] Safru [03:13] Just today I saw something about an integrated command line tool [03:13] safruhani yea apt-get [03:13] download manager ? [03:13] like wget [03:13] or smtg else [03:13] That makes the download text based or something like that [03:13] really? [03:13] safruhani sudo apt-get [03:13] how strange [03:13] Is that apt-get, Psywiped? [03:13] hector__: its installing.. 70M though.. doh [03:14] thanks friends [03:14] Anyway, the point of the command-line tool is that it makes it alot faster supposedly [03:14] Tas, check pm [03:14] Tas: which one it? [03:14] dotblank, that does not help me at all. [03:14] Frijoile: it's pretty high, so also your video card is fine. Let's see if some program is using the disk too much. try to install iotop (with aptitude install iotop) and run iotop -o -b -n 2 -d2. [03:14] safruhani its sudo apt-get [03:14] <[_FireSoul_]> good morning guyz [03:14] safruhani to install its sudo apt-get install [03:14] Ben90: well it should allow you to load a module that acts a joystick [03:14] I'm in the middle of upgrading (packages still downloading) to 9. When it's done I plan on using the live cd to convert the file system from ext3 to ext4. Once that's all done and I run fsck and all that can I just reboot? Or does Grub need something fancy done to it? [03:15] <[_FireSoul_]> I have got a problem .. after a while i get some thing on screen like reloading postfix configuration and i have to log in again but its a fresh login so all my work is gone [03:15] !apt-get [03:15] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [03:15] dotblank, i already have joydev and grip set in the /etc/modules file [03:16] <[_FireSoul_]> my crash report says [03:16] <[_FireSoul_]> xorg closed unexpectedly [03:16] Ben90: how about the module for the gameport? [03:16] dotblank: i have said module loaded, i need to configure it === nguhacon is now known as tmediavn [03:16] invernizzi, http://pastebin.com/m9af0748 [03:16] [_FireSoul_] yea anytime you restart x its leaving and loging out of your user session [03:16] dotblank, pleas pm me [03:17] !pm | ben90 [03:17] ben90: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [03:17] please* [03:17] <[_FireSoul_]> Psywiped_, its like i am doing some thing and in b/w it shows me a screen reloading postfix [03:17] <[_FireSoul_]> and i have got to login again [03:17] [_FireSoul_] if X crashes your going to have to log back in [03:18] dotblank , what do i have to type? [03:18] Ben90: lsmod [03:18] ok 1 sec. [03:18] <[_FireSoul_]> Yeah Psywiped_ but how do prevent it from crashing [03:18] man i hate driving in the rain [03:18] hector__: It works fine. Im playing minesweeper [03:18] <[_FireSoul_]> I use nVidia ..if that may help [03:18] [ [03:19] [_FireSoul_] not sure why its crashing [03:19] <[_FireSoul_]> do i paste some where the crash report [03:19] <[_FireSoul_]> that i got [03:19] <[_FireSoul_]> ? [03:19] dotblank, it says "gameport 19340 2 grip,snd_ens1371" [03:19] can some one name a good program for watching dvd's? [03:20] Ben90: does the js0 device exist in /dev/input [03:20] <[_FireSoul_]> Psywiped_, i got some hint in the crash report The problem cannot be reported: [03:20] <[_FireSoul_]> You have some obsolete package versions installed. Please upgrade the following packages and check if the problem still occurs: [03:20] Newfie_rich: vlc [03:20] <[_FireSoul_]> guess will do that [03:20] <[_FireSoul_]> later [03:20] <[_FireSoul_]> :D [03:20] [_FireSoul_]: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:20] <[_FireSoul_]> thanks [03:20] Newfie_rich, VLC [03:20] Psywiped_: i'm trying to download a video or music file from url.. apt-get isn't suitable i think ? [03:20] I am using totem movie player, and it won't run the dvd i am trying [03:20] thanks guys I will give that a try [03:20] zonyl, thank you for your time [03:20] Psywiped_: i've tried, but get en invalid error . [03:21] dotblank: i have js0 and js1 (which makes sense, as i have two joysticks, on USB, one gameport [03:21] Frijoile: even this seems perfectly fine. can you tell me a little more about your problem? have you noticed anything unusual? (and give me the output of "free -m" too) [03:21] ) [03:21] i know in most distro...to boot cli....you to /etc/iftab ......and change 5 to 3....where is that in ubuntu [03:21] safruhani are you looking for somthing for FF? [03:21] dotblank, not it does not [03:21] gartral: and jscalibrate does not work? [03:21] a good extension for downloading files in FF is downthemall [03:21] pyrak: no, opera i use [03:22] Ben90: what soundcard do you have? [03:22] I have an 8.10 server that I need to host some vm's on. I cant run KVM, so I was wondering what the next best choice is for integration into ubuntu? Qemu, Xen, or VirtualBox? [03:22] pyrak: i'm sorry [03:22] <`brandon`> how do i open a .rar file? [03:22] dotblank i have a "snd_ens1371" [03:22] `brandon`: apt-get install unrar then, unrar x name_of_extract_file [03:23] dotblank: i didnt have it at all, after installing it, it sees my USB stick, on sec, ill test the GP one [03:23] :-D [03:23] I like RC 904 [03:23] While installing ubuntu I completed the network setup manually. Now my ethernet address remains same and in network manager it comes as unmanaged. How can I undo this to DHCP again? [03:23] Psywiped_: isn't it for gnome or ubuntu download manager?_ [03:23] zonyl ive had sucess with virtualbox [03:23] dotblank: it does not see the gameport joystick [03:23] whats's new on ubuntu 9.04 [03:23] system time has issues, how can i manually set it to pht? +8gmt.. [03:23] janitor mainly [03:23] like sweeper for MS Windows [03:23] gartral: but you have an entry for js1? [03:24] safruhani i have no idea anymore what your trying to do [03:24] dotblank? [03:24] Ben90: hmm im not too sure. [03:24] gartral? [03:24] the notifications are new [03:24] Ben90: in theory it should work [03:24] Noroc baieti :-) [03:24] nroot7: Check your /etc/network/interfaces, and see if the interface is configured there [03:24] how can i do vpn connetion just like windows [03:24] dotblank: negative, i do not [03:24] the new ubuntu boots up really fastt on an eeepc [03:24] Psywiped_: i^m trying to download a file (jpg,mp3,avi etc..) and trying to find a download manager.. what do you use for? [03:24] !openvpm [03:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about openvpm [03:25] !openvpn [03:25] OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks! [03:25] wget [03:25] BladeNBrocade: without wget? [03:25] curl [03:25] :) [03:25] excpet curl :P [03:25] safruhani yea use Firefox get the addon downthemall [03:25] check firefox plugins [03:25] Psywiped_: BladeNBrocade i don't use firefox [03:25] i don't like it [03:25] thats odd [03:26] gartral: but you said this " i have js0 and js1 (which makes sense, as i have two joysticks, on USB, one gameport" [03:26] what exactly are u trying to accomplish? [03:26] WebcamWonder: Thanks [03:26] dotblank: i have both devices, but jscalibrator only sees js0 [03:26] safruhani i dont know of any other download accelarators for linux then because all i use is FF [03:26] gartral: try manually entering it [03:26] safruhani: There are some standalone download manager, aria2, and a few more [03:27] hmm download accelerators? [03:27] how do i boot ubuntu 8.10 to run level 3 [03:27] same thing [03:27] * BladeNBrocade coughs [03:27] gartral: Ben90: well im running out of ideas but this thread seems pretty good http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=330607 [03:27] hector__: Have you done the 'profile' switch on boot? That sped up things quite a bit on my eeepc [03:27] <---laughing now [03:27] BladeNBrocade: for curl and wget, i want to download the whole directory, for wget; using -c , but it brings lots of unnecessary files also, can i explain the proble? [03:27] BladeNBrocade: A few of them do accelerate using the multi-connection approach [03:27] WebcamWonder: im well aware [03:27] which in affect slows the connection no? [03:27] lol [03:27] dotblank: says the device is not accessable [03:28] Psywiped_: thank for your patient [03:28] BladeNBrocade: Leeching is only useful if the server is throttling. Else, it is kinda pointless [03:28] jwzwa you are correct, all of my mounted media is i '/media' and it works but somewhere along the way i turned that feature off. now i just want it back . I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE EASY to put my media drives on the desktop...guess i was wrong [03:28] gartral: :( if I only had your hardware [03:28] safruhani: [03:28] safruhani: try aria2. It's awsome. "ria2 is a command line download client with resuming and segmented [03:28] downloading. Supported protocols are HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/BitTorrent and it also [03:28] supports Metalink. [03:28] " [03:28] wget -A [03:28] invernizzi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:28] is an accept list [03:28] !paste invernizzi [03:28] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:28] wget -r -A jpg mp3 would only download those type of files [03:28] !paste | invernizzi [03:28] invernizzi: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [03:28] zonyl, no i havent. i just like showing how fast ubuntu linux is to everyone i meet and how fast it boots [03:28] BladeNBrocade no because most servers limit the down speed for each connection [03:28] Psywiped_: that too [03:29] so in affect.. [03:29] <`brandon`> !rar | brandon [03:29] brandon: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [03:29] ur slowing the connection or even blocking it,, using a 'download accelerator' [03:29] dotblank: i could give you ssh.. [03:29] ok thanks for sharing BladeNBrocade [03:29] safruhani: no problem [03:29] <`brandon`> okay i downloaded that rar thing [03:29] unclemike: Thats a darn good question.. Ubuntu has a weird way about using run levels. [03:29] <`brandon`> now how do i open it? [03:29] i think tmediavn is spamming, he just messaged me some random url [03:29] gartral: If you do Ill see what i can do.. [03:29] gartral? [03:30] marshall: yea he is [03:30] zonyl: i want to boot into command line.... [03:30] dotblank? [03:30] can someone help me setup wifi on my ubuntu server, im not having much luck :( [03:30] hello, I am trying to install murrine, and I've selected it in the package manager, and its installed, but i cant figure out how to use it with gnome.. any ideas? [03:31] WWW.TMEDIA.VN/TREONICK <---- WELCOME ! [03:31] grrr i thought this remote connection was dead.. it was hung..!!ArGh!! [03:31] unclemike: It will pay attention to 'S' but not the [0-9] runlevels on boot [03:32] paulOr: set it up to do what? [03:32] faus: murrine is an engine, so you should just select a theme that uses it, and you should be fine. [03:32] can anyone help me get my drives to show up on the desktop? [03:32] unclemike: In the end I just wacked gdm out of init and always boot into command line, then start gdm if I have to [03:32] BladeNBrocade: so iv got wireless internet connection [03:32] invernizzi: so i can just load the themes regularly then? I thought there would be a special application for configuring it [03:32] just as a server, not as the router or anything [03:32] zonyl: init [03:33] troll: execute gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/desktop [03:33] is the card recognized? is the interface up? does iwlist scan produce ESSIDs? [03:33] invernizzi: it was strange, i tried to compile it from source and the progrm couldnt find my gtk2.1 installs [03:33] how far have you gotten? [03:34] <`brandon`> i used sudo apt-get install rar but now how do i open a .rar file? [03:34] wireless server? [03:34] `brandon`, rar x /path/to/file [03:34] interesting [03:34] BladeNBrocade: i followed a tutorial i found, however i _thought_ the interface was wlan0, however after double checking it was wmaster0, so iv set it up completly wrong i think, but when i go to setup wmaster0 it just give me: operation not supported errors [03:35] `brandon`: Just double click on it, and it should open fine in Archive Manager [03:35] faus: no special application. If "gnome-appearance-properties" doesn't complain when you select a theme that use murrine, then it's ok. you can double check looking for errors in ~/.xsession-errors [03:35] what does wlan0 say when you run those commands on it? [03:35] http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+open+rar+files&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a [03:35] hey guys I want to make a plugin for totem [03:36] unop, how do i unpack a zip file from my hard drive, to my flash drive (mounted, obviously) [03:36] faus: for the second question: did you install libgtk2.0-dev? [03:36] unclemike: http://caulfield.info/emmet/2008/03/add-a-textonly-runlevel-to-ubu.html [03:36] thanks that worked [03:36] gartral, (cd /path/to/flash_drive && unzip /path/to/file.zip) [03:36] mv .zip /to/location/ ;cd /to/location/; unzip file.zip [03:36] jeez [03:37] zonyl: thanks [03:37] hehe [03:37] BladeNBrocade: wlan0 No scan results [03:37] anyone know the basics for making a totem plugin? [03:37] thats not right then.. what does lsmod | grep -i iw say? [03:37] or in fact... [03:37] BladeNBrocade: nothing at all [03:38] is there a wireless network in range? [03:38] BladeNBrocade: yes [03:38] how can I umount cifs before networkmanager disabled on shutdown/restart? [03:38] and if that says nothing at all.. it sounds like the wireless modules aren't enabled no? [03:38] invernizzi: not sure, whatever was installed from the default intrepid livecd [03:38] zonyl: i ran update and now gnome wont start...just get desktop back ground.....with no panel no right click of the mouse [03:39] BladeNBrocade: i _think_ they are, i may be wrong though: http://www.imghostr.net/uploads/31296611162785282128.jpg [03:39] afterburners GO [03:40] but it says the wireless interface is disabled there [03:40] o0o [03:40] i thought doing the walk through tutorial would enable it :D [03:40] <0> [03:40] hmm [03:41] can i have the link to the walk thru tutorial? [03:41] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-troubleshoot-wireless-network-connection-in-ubuntu.html [03:41] try to down and up the interface,, is the wireless switch on? [03:41] wireless is on yea, my laptop/phone are connected to it right now [03:42] dhclient shows what? [03:42] o god so much blood [03:42] dam mac book air [03:42] BladeNBrocade: just to make it clear, interface is wmaster0 yea? not wlan0 ? [03:43] my wireless int is wlan0 [03:43] faus: to compile things, you need additional packets (the ones that end in -dev). that is, in simple words, because normal packets are just "compiled" binaries (aka programs). they do not contain all the "stuff" that the compiler needs to know to use those libraries. the -dev packets fill that gap, putting, for instance, header files in /usr/include. [03:43] i think wmaster is meant for something else [03:43] breaking news man commits sucide with mac book air slits wrists [03:43] how do i downgrade back to 8.04? [03:43] hey guys ! i should have picked the nickname 'idiot' 'cuz i'm feeling like one about now... [03:43] BladeNBrocade: wmaster usually pops up with atheros cards, with the real interface being ath0 (in my experience) [03:44] Ben90 do you have a wand? [03:44] huh? [03:44] i see [03:44] very funny. [03:44] i'm running ubuntu now should i switch to kubuntu? [03:44] since it is easy [03:44] to switch i mean [03:44] from my understanding wmaster is used internally in 802.11 talk and shouldn't be touched [03:44] what is mysql and i bet somebody will tell me to google it... [03:44] Genolo: Why [03:44] wlan is ur concern [03:44] i don't know i hear some people like kubuntu better [03:44] Hey everyone. Ubuntu 8.04 here. I'm trying to install a GDM theme and would like to see how it looks before I decide on it completely - is there any way to access my login window WITHOUT logging off my current session? [03:44] BladeNBrocade: http://www.imghostr.net/uploads/2742871850505063172.jpg [03:45] ha ha. [03:45] then why didnt u google it first taco [03:45] hey guys I want to make a plugin for totem that will parse all the PLS links from DI.fm [03:45] taco: it's a database system, wikipedia for more info :) [03:45] paulOr: Could you pastebin ifconfig? [03:45] good question- i was hoping for some 'inside info' [03:45] taco: it's a language to make and query databases [03:45] so the access point never gave u a ip address [03:45] Genolo: just type "sudo apt-get install kde" and you'll have kubuntu [03:46] thanks guys - gotta go....wiki, huh? good idea ... [03:46] are u using wep or wpa? [03:46] yes but is it better Knirgh? [03:46] WebcamWonder: http://pastie.org/451944 [03:46] totem doesn't seem like it's worth a crap. i got vlc to use instead [03:46] Genolo: KDE or Gnome.. it's personal taste [03:46] BladeNBrocade: WPA-PSK [03:46] ahh i don't know what to pick [03:46] paulOr: Great, and iwconfig please [03:47] can i try kubuntu without killing ubuntu? === christian is now known as Guest42717 [03:47] KDE and Gnome can work side by sid eeven [03:47] sudo apt-get install kubuntu is better [03:47] yes genolo [03:47] how [03:47] Genolo: you can try out both.. if u typed my command you can log out and choose "KDE" in sessions to try out kde [03:47] WebcamWonder: http://pastie.org/451945 [03:47] how do i make them work side by side :o [03:47] HALPZ! I has encrypted drive in linux can I use it in windows? [03:48] !language | dotblank [03:48] dotblank: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:48] i have a problem.. i've a user directory shared (nfs) between quite a few number of users.. to prevent changes by one user being replicated to the others i've used unionfs and tmpfs on-top of this home folder.. problem is whenever i launch firefox the mounted directory fills up in no time.. [03:48] Genolo when you get to the login type option choice the kde one and there is a choic for session [03:48] the size is 20M [03:48] tmpfs uses ram, right? [03:48] zamba: yes [03:48] Genolo they answered you for me [03:48] paulOr: That almost shows that your wireless is configured. do a, sudo ifconfig wlan0 up && sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [03:48] BladeNBrocade: so instead of using tmpfs, then maybe i could do some rebinding from /tmp or similar? [03:48] Genolo: you log out of your user, choose the "Sessions" menu in the login screen, and it will show you a list of desktop managers installed. You choose the one you want and login [03:48] yep as i said u should up and down the interface and try again [03:48] ah i see [03:49] BladeNBrocade: instead of "wasting" memory..? [03:49] F10 at login screen to get options and choose session [03:49] Hi, my computer need a sound device [03:49] hello, i'm trying to install ubuntu 6.10 on a machine, it crashes after i choose "try ubuntu without any change to this computer", i get an "end trace 4eaa2a86a8e2da22" message, how can i debug or fix this? [03:49] so if i type sudo apt-get install kde in the terminal it should work? [03:49] u would use a tmpfs if u need the speed of memory.. but if u have no reason leave tmp as is [03:49] mythicalbox: try later distributions such as 8.10 [03:49] i like the kde login and the gnome session [03:49] BladeNBrocade: this is not for /tmp [03:49] invernizzi: Is it possible to install Kubuntu and start a new sessions without shutting down a current X session? Switching between Ubuntu + Kuduntu? Everything would be on their positions (windows and whatnot). [03:49] when i type 'sudo apt-get install kde' into terminal i get errors [03:50] BladeNBrocade | WebcamWonder: http://www.imghostr.net/uploads/74431438478862903125.jpg [03:50] BladeNBrocade: i use it to create a layer on-top of an existing home directory to prevent permanent changes to it [03:50] ohh.. you need to mount .mozilla in ram [03:50] Knirgh: I'm sorry, that was a typo, i am using 8.10 [03:50] Genolo: pastebin the errors would be more useful [03:50] hmm [03:50] interesting === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [03:50] Genolo type sudo apt-get install kubuntu [03:50] mythicalbox: what graphic card do you have? [03:50] BladeNBrocade | WebcamWonder: iv got it plugged into my router atm via cat5, i dont know if that is stopping it or something maybe? [03:50] zamba: you could link .mozilla to /tmp folder [03:50] hmm [03:50] how do I compile my very own Linux kernel in order to increase my l33tness to over 9000 levels? [03:50] Knirgh: I'm not sure, i'll turn off the computer and look [03:51] is gnome or kde the better choice [03:51] jaymacdonald: Learn Gentoo. ;3 [03:51] jaymacdonald read the gentoo install handbook it tells you how [03:51] paulOr: i've only see that be the issues on Vista.. [03:51] dotblank: wouldn't that also link the profile there? [03:51] h8red: i like gnome, but there is no "better" choice [03:51] how is ur interfaces file set up or are u using nm? [03:51] I thought this was Ubuntu, not Gentoo, kinja-sheep [03:51] Say [03:51] dotblank: i think i just want the cache to go there [03:51] e17 is sweet [03:51] h8red: It's all about preferences. [03:51] zamba: yes or you could link a folder that caches further in .mozilla [03:52] !best | h8red [03:52] h8red: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [03:52] it appears u never get an IP or speak to the IP from layer2 [03:52] BladeNBrocade: no idea :s [03:52] how are they different exactly though? [03:52] Say [03:52] Hey everyone.

[03:53] !beingabitch WebcamWonder [03:53] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:53] now it says: sudo apt-get install kubuntu [03:53] no such file or directory BladeNBrocade [03:53] it sees ur wireless now i just looked at the screenshot =) [03:53] err [03:53] ur not looking in the right place then [03:53] it says [03:53] E: Couldn't find package kubuntu [03:53] but anywho... it see ut AP now [03:53] kinja-sheep: you are making a little error. Kubuntu, like Ubuntu, is a "distribution", it is a way to install linux (the same difference that stands between Windows xP and Vista). you probably mean if you can run GNOME and KDE (which are "desktop managers") at the same time. You can, but why? you can use the programs that one offers inside the other without any problem. Can you explain what you need better? [03:53] Pauls Wireless?

[03:54] no idea what AP / NM is :D [03:54] safruhani no i think he went to gentoo [03:54] Tas: A lot of Linux users still use KLE 3.9 or 3.10 [03:54] enter is punctuation dammit [03:54] ur router [03:54] i'm sorry about that post [03:54] paulOr: AP = Access Pointer, NM = Network Manager (the default GUI utility to connect to networks) :) [03:54] nm = network manager [03:54] Genolo try sudo apt-get install kde-desktop [03:54] paulOr: Access Point* [03:54] holy crap 2 hours left [03:54] o.o [03:55] AP = Access Point which iw ould imagine is ur router [03:55] invernizzi: I'm quite comfortable with Gnome. I wanted to know/experience the true benefits of running KDE. If you do use KDE, do you by any chance know the package name that KDE use to "display" folders on the Desktop? [03:55] sudo apt-get install kde worked [03:55] but my internet connection is so slow this could take a while [03:55] can i connect to it here? or on the server? [03:55] ? [03:55] o it might be sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [03:55] Genolo: kde is the right one to install [03:55] Genolo: if you want kde, you really should install the full kubuntu-desktop [03:55] paulOr: u connect to the AP when u join a wireless network [03:55] invernizzi: You're probably right. I should mean KDE, not kubuntu. [03:56] u connect to the router when plug in the cat 5 [03:56] ur already connected.. u need to see if u can connect wirelessly to the AP now that u up and down the interface [03:56] dotblank: i tried symlinking the Cache-folder out of the directory, but that didn't work either [03:56] kubuntu also gets all the kde apps [03:56] wait what now i'm confused [03:56] kinja-sheep: KDE4 uses plasmoids and widgets to show a specific directory on your desktop [03:56] so how did u connect to the wireless network before? [03:56] either from command line or network manager... [03:56] i havent managed to get it connected before [03:57] dotblank: but what if i instead of using tmpfs uses something else.. just creates a new fs on a directory in /tmp?

This site has link to it: http://fwlug.org/ [03:57] Genolo dont worry after the kde install finishes you can run sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [03:57] AHAHAA [03:57] its a fresh install :D doing this for first time, i ran through that tutorial and this is as far as iv got [03:57] * Genolo runs [03:57] dotblank: you mean the /home mount?

[03:58] :P [03:58] kinja-sheep: the package is kdebase-workspace-bin. you can run "startkde" (or startkde4) to start the kde desktop, but if you want to try out kde, why don't you just enter into a kde session? kde AND gnome do not live perfectly well together [03:58] Hey friends and neighbors, does any...wat? [03:58] tjz: Right [03:59] BladeNBrocade: yes [03:59] WTF!!! [03:59] no Genolo [03:59] Ben90: easy there [03:59] good :P [03:59] Genolo your /home is safe [04:00] tritium, how do i enable my joystick in 9.04?

Manager -- http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde [04:00] hello people, I've been all over google trying to figure this one out. I have Ubuntu 8.10 on my computer and I'm tring to add Winxp i've got one root partition and one swap for ubuntu and one ntfs for the new windows, but the win installer only has one big unknown partition to choose to install to. [04:00] i used to be able to set the line "options snd_ens1371 joystick=1" and it would work [04:01] but not that wont work anymore. [04:01] Knirgh: okay, it's a gigabyte gv-nx86s256h [04:01] any ideas? [04:01] are u using those drivers they say use in that manual? [04:01] can anyone please help me? [04:01] Sorry usr13 [04:01] i need help installing an SSH program. [04:02] BladeNBrocade: it doesnt say to use drivers for WPA-PSK [04:02] wstraus: MS Windows is not (by default) capable of reading other file systems, (other than it's own native ones), so it is unable to read the Linux file system. [04:02] Well, Steam is a game client on Windows that you can buy games through and stuff [04:02] wstraus yea get virtuebox format the ntfs to ext4 and install windows in vrutuebox [04:02] wstraus: Did the guys in #windows chase you out with pitchforks? :P [04:02] kinja-sheep: ok, so you want to *install* kde, not to run it with gnome. That guide is fine, but you don't need to install kdm (since you have gdm already working). Enjoy kde! [04:02] i need help enabling my gameport joystick in 9.04 [04:02] It's basically a cross of games database and a messenger, plus a store [04:02] wstraus: Also note that MS Windows is unable to boot from anywhere but the first partition on the first drive. [04:02] I know it's runnable through WINE, but I want to know how ell [04:02] kdm is better [04:02] well* === irfan is now known as Guest60459 [04:03] + [04:03] oops.

[04:10] is 9.04 even stable yet? [04:10] BladeNBrocade: wouldn't need what?

[04:13] i dont think wmaster should be touched here [04:13] :x ok [04:13] check the logs [04:13] wstraus: The recommended method to create a dual boot [MS / Linux], is to install MS Windows first, (so that it occupies the first partition). MS Windows is incabable of booting from anywhere else than the firts partition. [04:13] what log files? [04:14] ipv6 non existant on the general web [04:14] syslog or messages [04:14] location? [04:14] Guest92430: I suggest you to use a web-based solution, like http://www.videodl.org/ . It's a lot easier if you don't have much experience [04:14] /var/log/* [04:14] wstraus: If you install Linux first, you must leave room at the beginning of the drive for MS Windows partition.

[04:23] mrmcgibby: your ubuntu does that for you in background every now and then, but if you are not always connected, it may happen you need to do that. the "404" just means "hey, that package doesn't exist anymore, you need to update the list of packages".

[04:23] yes that may work [04:23] no as subnets [04:23] the 128 [04:23] oh as a subnet yea [04:24] but it's not a good idea to have a subnet like that [04:24] !enter | BladeNBrocade [04:24] BladeNBrocade: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:24] why? [04:24] Ben90: I'm afraid your joystick is not supported. can you give me the name of the joystick? [04:24] why would you want a 128 subnet? [04:24] because once nat gets involved and traffic needs to traverse that internal network and the internet it can cause issue [04:24] invernizzi its a gravis gamepad pro [04:24] ah [04:24] having a subnet thats 255.255.255.0 would cause issues [04:24] and it worked in 8.04 [04:24] does blueray work in Jaunty? [04:24] in fact.. most routers most likely wouldn't let u do this [04:25] wstraus: You say that "the ntfs partition is the last on the drive, and until you formated it". Do you mean that you had a dual boot system working at that point? (With the MS Windows partition at the end of the drive?) [04:25] no it has to be 255.255.255.0 [04:25] what r u trying to do BladeNBrocade [04:25] Ben90: have you tried http://www.linuxtutorialblog.com/post/solution-getting-a-gravis-gamepad-pro-to-work-on-linux [04:25] 1 sec [04:25] im not trying to do anything space_cadet .. just explaining to someone something [04:25] usr13: yes I did. [04:25] BladeNBrocade, aah, has dd-wrt or tomato been considered? [04:25] everyone just get off his back. [04:26] that subnets allows you to address all the ip's in the 0 part to the same network [04:26] space_cadet: thats not the issue either [04:26] how to use clive [04:26] and what would the broadcase address be psywiped ? [04:26] BladeNBrocade, well i saw multicast needed to not be filtered... [04:26] 192.168.1.255 [04:26] usr13: and back then I think I did install win first. but at the end of the drive. [04:26] Guest97148: "man clive" [04:27] gatway is 192.168.1.0 [04:27] psywiped: so ur not talking about making a 225.255.255.0 network any more? [04:27] only clive [04:27] ok i agree then,, [04:27] psywiped, given that subnet mask - that address cannot be a gateway [04:27] Guest97148: "man clive" is the command you can run to read the manual page for clive. [04:27] well that would work but no 255.255.255.0 is a subnet [04:27] could we please kick out Guest97148 (the "download youtube" guy)? He keeps changing name, but the question is't always the same. [04:27] umm [04:27] wstraus: You must know something I do not know. But, I fail to understand why you would ask if it is possible to do something you've already done? [04:27] isn't this what i told u? [04:27] anyway we are way past the point.. fix ur default router to point to ur routers internal IP [04:27] lol invernizzi [04:28] and yes it is a valid subnet [04:28] point blank [04:28] invernizzi? [04:28] i was disconncted [04:28] it isn't psywiped [04:28] Ben90: yes? [04:28] sorry man [04:28] u can not connect a 255.255.255.0 network [04:28] sorry to say [04:28] i am new in this community [04:28] psywiped, 192.168.1.0 is not a valid host address because all host bits are 0, it is the network/subnet address [04:28] subnet not network [04:28] im still not understanding where to change this 255.255.255.255 :D [04:28] !offtopic | Guest97148 [04:28] i can't seem to find what i'm looking for.

[04:29] not a subnet [04:29] its a netmask [04:30] Guest97148, at least your not angry like others... there's just soo much going on in here, you may be better off in offtopic for now... [04:30] psywiped, there's a difference between a subnet and a subnet mask - they are two different things [04:30] wstraus: I've told you what you need to do, if you do not believe me, I can not help you. The bottom line is that you have saddled a dead horse. [04:30] completely diff things [04:30] !beginners [04:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about beginners [04:30] i guess im tired [04:30] must be [04:30] ok man where is offtopic [04:30] BladeNBrocade: unop I came in late and so have missed a bunch of this thread.. I looked at my router and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and the primary address is 192.168.0.1.. is this an incorrect marriage of address and subnet? [04:30] hm [04:30] no [04:30] scunizi your good [04:30] thats correct [04:30] i'm feeling crazy again. [04:30] scunizi, yep [04:30] in the others case [04:31] im still not understanding where to change this 255.255.255.255 :D [04:31] he said his default gatway was 255.255.255.0 [04:31] paulOr: [04:31] what? [04:31] * psywiped chops off one of Ben90's feet. [04:31] thats anyones default. [04:31] i am realy sorry to all to disturb you [04:31] change the default gateway to the routers internal IP address [04:31] hey! [04:31] thanks [04:31] o [04:31] if it is indeed 255.255.255.255 now [04:31] usr13: well thank you for trying, I do appreciate it. [04:31] Guest97148: try http://arun.wordpress.com/2007/01/29/download-youtube-videos-the-linux-way/ , it should solve your problem. [04:31] u need t change this to the routers internal IP [04:31] 255.255.255.255 sounds improbably for a subnet mask [04:31] unless your seriously subnetting, 255.255.255.0 is not even a valid ip address [04:31] where do i change it though [04:31] unop: says yep = not good and BladeNBrocade says no meaning it's ok.. ?? [04:31] thanks [04:31] unop: [04:31] Guest97148: you're not. We've given you some suggestions. Please try them out. [04:31] wstraus: If you want to build a dual boot system - just delete the existing partitions, install MS Windows first and then install Ubuntu second. [04:32] scunizi: thats fine [04:32] unop: thats a broadcast address to the internet [04:32] it would never work.... [04:32] usr13: yea i think I'm ganna have to do that. [04:32] psywiped blasts a BFG in psywiped's face. [04:32] BladeNBrocade: I've asked you to watch !enter, please. [04:32] unop, actually 255.255.255.255 is a valid subnet mask, defines one host [04:32] hey all thank you to all who helped me get my ventrilo server running in a terminal window on boot. got it working finally [04:32] oops. [04:32] not sure how his gatway got configured as that [04:33] * scunizi enjoys these more technical conversations that tread on the edge of O.T. [04:33] space_cadet, sure, but you'd never use it as a subnet mask for an addressable host on a multiaccess network like LAN/Ethernet [04:33] my router IP is: 192.168.1.254 is that what i need to change it too? [04:33] i'm gonna kill FloodBot1 [04:33] unop, definately not... [04:33] if thats the router ip then yes [04:33] unop, unless you just took some mushrooms [04:33] paulOr your good with that it doesnt maake a diffrence thats just how you get to its interface [04:33] default gateway = address of the router that will get u to the next network [04:33] what does unop mean? [04:33] paulOr, you have a WAP54g? [04:33] space_cadet, my WAN address is a /32 tho [04:33] paulOr: What are you trying to do? [04:34] psywiped: but if that address is not the address of his router.. he will get no where [04:34] invernizzi? [04:34] and 255.255.255.255 is not his routers address [04:34] he should still have a mask of 255.255.255.0 [04:34] we were never discussing masks [04:34] u were [04:34] !enter | BladeNBrocade (again) [04:34] BladeNBrocade (again): Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[04:34] BladeNBrocade: where do i change 255.255.255.255 to the correct ip, is it just a cmd? or in a file somewhere? [04:34] ? [04:35] 255.255.255.255 is not a valid netmask [04:35] Ben90: I can't solve your problem, if that guide doesn't help you.

I have to turn the "hue" control totally to the left on the slider.. why? [04:56] e.g wlan0 ur IP and the right netmask [04:56] kyle___ pop out of the gui and it goes faster [04:56] which i believe u will leave as is here 255.255.255.0 [04:56] anyways gentoo takes overnight to compile [04:56] ok then?

[04:58] jigp, then connect to the shared printer [04:58] jigp, if it's compatible with linux [04:59] invernizzi: i don't know how to do that. sorry. i'm still learning the command line prompts for linux.

Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [04:59] sheena1: open the terminal, write "firefox" [04:59] kyle___ i didnt have any truble with them in gentoo [04:59] jigp: once it's shared, just add printer on other machines, and they'll find the network printer [05:00] tritium : big thanks :) [05:00] invernizzi: duh. thanks. i now go to youtube in that FF window? or through terminal? [05:00] I'm using unbuntu in my vmware. After an unexpected power off, my ubuntu can not access network anymore [05:00] Can someone please tell me what the "Score" is when I use "aptitude" ? I was just installing Postfix... with "sudo aptitude install postfix telnet mailx". I Got a negative score of -819.. What does that mean? The man page doesn't seem to address this. [05:00] And it took much longer time to restart [05:00] sheena1: just use firefox normally [05:00] anyone here know anything about ndiswrapper?

[05:00] lol [05:00] psywiped_ ahhhh gentoo, now i see where your coming from. it's fun but i grew tired of all the compiling and up keep... this is what im trying to avoid. im to the point now where i just want it to work [05:01] william7, j/k i don't know.. [05:01] invernizzi: it's frozen. do i now force quit? [05:01] jigp: :) [05:01] sheena1: yes, and copy-n-paste the lines in the terminal on pastebin [05:01] invernizzi: no lines in terminal [05:01] kyle___ yea its nice not to have to deal with it but for odd hardware configuraitons you still have to do some stuff on your own [05:03] nty, is better than Vista [05:03] sheena1: try to "cp -Rf ~./mozilla ~/mozilla" ; and retry to use firefox (from command line) === ubuntu is now known as Brandie [05:03] I'm back!

[05:04] when the sound is broken, one should always check that one's speakers are plugged in hehe [05:04] sheena1: it's a typo; do" mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozilla" [05:04] lol [05:04] hehe [05:05] RandomUsr, and turned on? [05:05] shentino: you mean from say.. ctrl+alt+F2 and back to F7? [05:05] yeah [05:05] repalce F7 with whatever vt the X is on [05:05] shentino: what do you mean by confused? [05:05] space_cadet, why turn em on if you didn't bother to plug em in lol [05:05] well [05:05] invernizzi: now youtube prompts me to get flash playet [05:05] I files a bug on it already [05:05] shentino: good one, I like mc [05:05] but when I ca-f1 [05:06] it's like the kernel thinks my ctrl key is down when it isn't [05:06] Anyone know a fix for Boot Failure: bad gzip magic number error? [05:06] typing weirdness ensues [05:06] I type: "asdf" [05:06] the ranting about Jaunty was sooo right.... this is better than Vista by far [05:06] hi [05:06] I get ^A [05:06] then after scroll lock, it logs out [05:06] from the "control" D [05:06] sheena1: that is right. Now close firefox, execute "sudo aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree "; and open firefox again. [05:06] shentino: have you checked your set keyboard layout? using utf-8 etc.. I've not experienced that problem [05:07] I could double check that [05:07] System -> Preferences -> Keyboard: Layout is USA [05:08] keyboard model is 105 intl [05:08] invernizzi: i ran it through terminal, youtube seems to be working now, but all my bookmarks and such are no longer there... is that to be expected? [05:08] i need manual network config but it keeps getting reset to dhcp after i reboot [05:08] anything else you'd like me to check? [05:08] shentino: I've no idea how to diagnose this.. but.. might change the keyboard to 104 [05:09] what's the F2 command to run emerald? [05:09] Can somone help me fix my problem with ubuntu not booting please?... [05:09] brandie http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1090235 [05:09] heh [05:09] I can even reproduce the bug [05:09] hold down control and alt, [05:10] snap-tap F1 and then let go of all 3 keys before the vt driver picks up the keyup for ctrl [05:10] sheena1:yes. I was just troubleshooting the problem. Your old firefox configuration is fine, you can get it back by doing "rm -Rf ~/.mozilla; mv mozilla .mozilla". [05:10] Psywiped but 2.6.27-11-generic isnt the 9.04 kernal is it? [05:10] do you want me to paste any of the terminal code for you? or do my results tell you what you need to know? [05:10] if you hold down ca long enough for the vt to show, then let go, it doesn't bug [05:10] http://zutils.co.cc [05:10] invernizzi: ... is it fixabe? [05:10] shentino: weird.. laptop or desktop? [05:11] desktop [05:11] brandie please go to #ubuntu+1 [05:11] Can someone please tell me what the "Score" is when I use "aptitude" ? I was just installing Postfix... with "sudo aptitude install postfix telnet mailx". I Got a negative score of -819.. What does that mean? The man page doesn't seem to address this. [05:11] using gnome [05:11] shentino: ps2 connected keyboard or usb [05:11] usb [05:11] william7_: It is just a number that aptitude calculates while trying to resolve dependencies. It then proceeds to (I think) use the path with the greatest number [05:11] thanks for reminding me, I best ad that tot he bug report [05:12] shentino: have you tried a different usb port? or swapped the keyboard out for another one? [05:12] OK I'm a sellout [05:12] bye bye windows for good [05:12] hello Jaunty Jackalope [05:12] yes on the first [05:12] semarang [05:12] but I'm certain that the keyboard is good [05:13] sheena1: the problem you are experiencing is in your "firefox profile". Probably some file got corrupted. The easiest way to solve it is to export your bookmarks, etc... . When you are done, execute "mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-backup". That will save your old (corrupted) configuration in a backup folder, so you can start off with a new one. You just import your bookmarks and so on, and you are done. [05:13] because all the keys involved can be strummed randomly after going VT and that fixes things [05:13] hey [05:13] shentino: I'd hate for you to find out that a small piece of yesterdays begal is causing your grief === lis_ is now known as mr_lonely [05:13] I checked under the keys, no debris [05:13] invernizzi: so i export my stuff, execute that command line, then reimport into my regular firefox, and all will be well? [05:13] sheena1: the problem was probably caused by a truncated file, maybe because you shut down your computer not in a nice way [05:14] sheena1: yes. [05:14] i installed ubuntu but i need to install grub, how do i chroot into my installed location from the boot disc so i can install/configure grub? [05:14] shentino: is the bios usb setting for "both" legacy and 2.0? [05:14] invernizzi: that is possible. i was at one point fighting trying to get a certain type of shockwave to work, which may also have affected this? not sure [05:14] invernizzi: Someone asked him/her to move her ~/.mozilla to ~/mozilla for testing purposes IIRC [05:14] Rob235: have you tried Super Grub Disk ¿? [05:14] I'll have to reboot to fidn that out [05:14] nope what is that, a bootable cd that helps you install it? [05:14] stand by... [05:15] invernizzi: how do i get my old firefox back? it still opens the blank youtube-works one. [05:15] shentino: the only reason I ask is 'cause it sounds like a timing issue. [05:15] WebcamWonder: yes, I did it. Then I told her to move it back. [05:15] sheena1: ok, two different questions [05:15] invernizzi: Oops, sorry about that :). I just thought you should know :) [05:16] sheena1:as I told you, 'Your old firefox configuration is fine, you can get it back by doing "rm -Rf ~/.mozilla; mv mozilla .mozilla". ' [05:16] invernizzi: i found that and just did it [05:16] thanks! [05:16] hi [05:17] sheena1: ok, about the shockwave question: flash does work on linux, but shockwave does not. Ask Adobe why. [05:17] am I in the right IRC channel for getting support? I'm just following the community support instructions [05:17] bmw: yes [05:17] I was running Gnome on my machine, and some apps still use GNOME components instead of KDE ones. Thoes Components are annoying and have sounds that I wish to disable on everything [05:17] WebcamWonder: ok thanks for the info on the aptitude score... do you think I need to do anything specifically ? or just let it proceed with the -819 score.. it's not saying it can't.. it's giving me the typical "Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]" [05:17] WebcamWonder: don't worry at all :-d [05:18] bwm: don't ask to ask .. just ask away .. if anyone knows the answer they will [05:18] how does this work? do I wait in a line or something? [05:18] ok [05:18] Where do I modifiy the software sources to allow normal releases to be updated on a headless/gui-less server? [05:18] william7_: As a rule of thumb, -ve is bad [05:18] I recently upgraded to 8.04 (Inspiron 1525), and my sound stopped working (and wireless modem) [05:18] william7_: It must be asking you to remove too many packages, which might lead to a negative score, or asking you to leave unresolved dependencies, which is again bad [05:19] WebcamWonder: yikes... [05:19] invernizzi: i came to that conclusion eventually, but apparently not before messing up my profile. This change that I'm doing should allow ted.com to work as well, right? Ted and youtube quit working at the same time, so i assume it's the same issue? [05:19] if I play something in youtube, I can see the signals reaching PUlseAudio, but I have no idea how to get it from PulseAudio to the speakers [05:19] william7_: Better post the output on a pastebin and ask someone to look it over, I have to go [05:19] back [05:20] BIOS: Phoenix [05:20] OnChip USB: 1.1 + 2.0 [05:20] USB Keyboard Support: Enabled [05:20] sheena1: yes, that is flash, so it's the same issue. Shockwave, to put is simply, is the 3d version of flash used in some web-based games. [05:21] bmw: It's just youtube, or any sound (mp3..)? [05:21] invernizzi: okay. i backed up my bookmarks according to a help file, and now have a file on my desktop that i'm hoping contains my bookmarks. I assume i'll lose my add-ons and saved ursenames/passwords, but i'm okay with that. do you mind giving me that code again to reset it?

[06:21] RandomUsr: weird, i installed all that and everything works [06:21] hmm [06:22] hello my sister has ubuntu on her laptop. it is now crashing on bootup, an\bout 3 out of 4 tries it crashes. she can eventually get it to boot up. here is a pastebin of her syslog file if someone could take a look and see if they can find what or where its going wrong http://paste.ubuntu.com/154477/ [06:22] hateball: ok if I choose for a clean install I need to create a backup for the home partition and whipe everything off correct or am I wrong here? [06:22] zhanx, did you install from the terminal? or from synaptic front end? [06:22] terminal [06:22] paul68: That would be correct [06:22] Im trying to set up a back up script that would keep 3 copies and download my home directory from another system.

[06:29] paul68: No, in my opinion it is better to back up data on a regular basis and do a clean install of any OS. Then replace any data you feel is important or needed for whatever you wish to do. [06:29] bluejeans: there is if you have hyperthreading.. [06:29] tgr, better? any monitor will just look at the same stats.. top is as good as any i guess [06:30] tgr: htop [06:30] ............

[07:12] :-) [07:13] Kr0ntab: how can i see the bad blocks? should i run a fsck in read-ionly mode, in maintenance console? [07:13] you should only run it while the partition is unmounted...

[09:34] !Ubottu [09:34] anyway, I also tried swfdec; neither appeared in firefox's about:plugins list [09:34] level1: tbh, i've never used gnash. if you search your system for .so files you could create a symlink in~/.mozilla/plugins [09:34] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [09:35] is there a way to force detection of plugins [09:35] level1: does about: plugins say its enabled? [09:35] timfrost: what are you seeing? [09:35] level1: without the space [09:35] ActionParsnip: it doesn't appear on the list [09:36] level1: ok thats something useful, if you symlnk the .so file to ~/.mozilla/plugns it will be in the paths firefox checks for plugins and it will fly [09:36] where is the .so file? I have no idea [09:36] level1: sudo find / -name *.so [09:37] level1: that will find it, you can then run: mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins [09:37] ActionParsnip: there are a lot of .so files on a linux system [09:37] level1: and symlink the file in that folder [09:37] level1: you could pipe the output to grep gna [09:38] hey [09:38] I am a little mystified.. what do I have to install the get the debug symbols for a gdmsetup crash? I can't see debug packages for glib or gio and installed the debug symbols for gdm alone don't seem to help [09:38] lesshaste: Your apt-get update output looks clean. you do seem to have multiple repositories enabled, but I can't explain the errors you reported for the ddebs archive.

[09:39] level1: you are ssuming with that search that the file starts with gnash, which may not be the case [09:40] ActionParsnip: is it libgnashplugin.so?

(need back up first?) [09:54] that isn't my question. I am talkign about reformating MY pc and installing this offline [09:54] level1: theres a million pages on this. flash is proprietary and so is hard to resolve issues with as adobe refuse to release stuff about flash [09:55] best video editing would be cinelerra i think , http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu [09:55] but its still hard work,, :) [09:55] level1: all i can suggest is websearching round to see what works, could try a reoot too to see if the sound system fell over itself [09:55] can I reinstall mt debs from the deb files I have downloaded for my packages? [09:55] my* [09:55] hmm [09:55] wow that worked [09:55] lol thanks [09:56] saiki: sure, just copy them over to the other system and run: sudo dpkg -i *.deb [09:56] killing the process that is ... quick fix at least [09:56] saiki: with your pwd in the same folder as the debs [09:56] x_O: sweet [09:56] abrandt your describing the scale compiz addon [09:56] ? [09:56] what pwd? [09:56] pwd = present working directory [09:56] ah.. [09:57] thought you meant password lol [09:57] unimatrix9 i like kdenlive for video [09:57] saiki: its where your terminal is pointing to in your file system [09:57] ok, you can use that one too [09:57] gotcha [09:58] sudo apt-get install kdenlive i guess [09:58] ActionParsnip: another question ... I tried updating to 8.10 and it said it did not have the right graphics driver ... think I had the option to continue anyways... but then I would be without a GUI right? [09:58] saiki or you can make a personal repo with dpkg-dev [09:58] ? [09:58] I'd rather just back up what I have and go from default [09:58] saiki to install your debs on another machine [09:58] got alsa issues [09:59] x_O: maybe not off te first boot but you can fix x to ue the vesa driver which will always work [09:59] how would you backup with dpkg-dev? [10:00] I'm just gonna follow ActionParsnip 's advice [10:00] vesa driver? ... think im using propreietary driver now...vesa is open source one ... so no hardware accel i guess. would videos with codecs and flash etc still work? [10:00] seems the least likely to cause problems [10:00] <[nrx]> I have a feeling this has been asked before.. but how do I get sound to work for flash videos... like on YouTube? :) [10:01] someone knows how to mount a floppy disk in writing under intrepid? please [10:01] saiki aptoncd does some simular things, but i guess manual would be as save .. [10:01] with read and write rights [10:01] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=147420 [10:01] x_O: sure, you might have to re-establish the vga driver in the updated system, it might go well. You'll have to try. If the gfx drivers are bad, switch back to failsafe then reinstall the driver in the updated system [10:01] read for backup apt cache [10:02] Quick question. I just started using Evolution mail instead of Thunderbird. Is there anyway I can get it to start up minimized without alltray? [10:02] unimatrix9 you need dpkg-dev installed to run dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -9c > Packages.gz. this will give you an index file that apt can read, [10:02] any advantage of 8.10 over 8.04 ? ... or just non important updates basically [10:02] I'm using Gnome-Do docky. It's there. I don't need it to start up full size [10:02] unimatrix9, yea, I'd rather do it manually, less likely to screw it up [10:02] <[nrx]> I have a feeling this has been asked before.. but how do I get sound to work for flash videos... like on YouTube? :) [10:03] x_O: its the beginning of the depreciation of xorg.conf [10:03] unimatrix9 its a little more flexable than aptoncd as you can dynamicaly update your repo on a usb thumb drive ect...

[10:06] unimatrix9 a link if your interested. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Personal [10:08] koshar1, i had installed several machines, wich are edentical, one would argue that it would be the same install then, i created an manual apt-cache on one machine, for install on the others, then run dpkg -i to install all the packages, in theory it should wokr wihtout any hassle, but it did not , some would fail... ah computers you never know what they are doing...:) [10:09] unimatrix9: you do in DOS :D:D:D [10:09] unimatrix9 seems odd to me [10:10] yes very odd, thats true [10:10] <[nrx]> ActionParsnip, tell you what, it's not very reliable tho.

[10:55] i think i've managed to install two copies, one on sda6 and sda1 [10:55] dr4g: you could use dd to copy the data over, or use partimage [10:55] dr4g: oh [10:56] i don't want to use sda6 copy, is there any way to mount sda1 to / and not mount sda6 to / [10:56] /etc/fstab [10:56] erm... [10:56] dr4g: read fstab like rumpel says [10:56] !fstab [10:56] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [10:56] i'm in fstab file now.

[10:59] see here, sda6 has a hash representation: http://pastebin.com/m2f88f1d5 [10:59] hmm... boot from sda1 (if ubuntu is also there) and kick the sda6-entry in grub-menu [10:59] Guest94790: no, nobody at all [10:59] dr4g: sda1 is a primary partition, and sda5 is an extended, they are different partitions, on the same drive [10:59] ziroday: no [10:59] hello, this is only a test for the application xchat, thank you [10:59] goodbye! [10:59] UUID ist the partition-drive-identification-number [10:59] Nhawdge i think sda6 is my swap, and i've managed to install a bootloader on my swap instead of the primary [10:59] kind of [10:59] !session-limit [10:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about session-limit [11:00] dr4g: can you mount sda1 anywhere manually? [11:00] i can try what would be the best command for that [11:00] ca anu one help me [11:00] can any one help me [11:01] @dr4g can you boot into your installation on sda1 ? [11:02] any one call me [11:02] i will be angry :( [11:02] *call* [11:02] rumpel i'm not sure, would that require me playing with the LiveCD to install a bootloader on sda1?

[11:07] no === ahmed is now known as Guest58968 [11:07] now what do i do [11:07] Nhawdge: you are talking about accessing another machine through CLI, this is not what I'm referring to [11:07] xeer: I don't think you can move already running sessions to another computer [11:08] please any one help me [11:08] Slart: would it be possible to copy what is in memory space? [11:08] xeer: once you have openssh installed you can using the connect to server function and change it to ssh and enter the IP for the machine [11:08] @xeer difficult [11:08] xeer: you can run stuff using ssh from another computer though.. ssh -x 123.123.123.123 gedit will run gedit on that ip and export the displau [11:08] any one here from egypt [11:09] xeer: possible?.. perhaps.. easy or practical? I doubt it [11:09] Slart: I can't argue with it not being easy, but I can say it is very practical [11:09] xeer: what are you trying to do? [11:09] Slart: needs a capital -X [11:10] Slart: I am thinking of how I can transfer an entire session remotely, exit the session and power down while remotely the session is in tact.

Acpid is running. How can I make acpid working? [11:13] Is anyone familiar with ubuntu as a server? mine is giving me ISSUES after about a month running [11:13] xeer: but the idea is nice.. sounds very useful for lots of people [11:13] mitman: ISSUES? it's giving you attitude? or something in particular? [11:14] anyone know anything about winetricks? i get err:setupapi:do_file_copyW Unsupported style(s) 0x144 when i try to use it to add directx9 [11:14] ActionParsnip, i have tried. it seems not working. [11:14] bekah: you might get better answers in #winehq [11:14] Slart: Few things, I have an Ubuntu server with 2 Raid 1 HDs (1 is the main OS and the other is the data). The / partition is stating that its full and nothing can be written on the drive [11:15] mitman: well.. is it? [11:15] oh thanx i didnt know about that room [11:15] sheryl: try in mouse config settings (not sure where gnome hides them persnoally) [11:15] Slart: can't be, I have seperate partitions for /,/var/log,/sys, and so on.. I allocated 2GB for / [11:15] sheryl: does the device show up in lspci [11:15] Slart: I just did a total backup to a tar file, the tar file is less than 900MB so really confused [11:16] mitman: check with df .. also root might have some space reserved [11:16] sheryl: is there a thng to lock the pad? [11:16] df shows / is using 100% [11:16] but I don't know what to delete, I know I don't have that much data in the partition [11:16] mitman: sudo apt-get clean [11:16] ActionParsnip: I did that also [11:17] its confusing because i started with ubuntu server basic config and only apt-get'd the files I needed [11:17] mitman: you can uninstall old kernels if the newest one is running ok [11:17] old kernels would be in the /boot partition, correct? [11:17] mitman: you could also uninstall all the stupid video drivers that come with a standard ubuntu install [11:17] mitman: try using du / --max-depth 1 -h to see how much each folder uses [11:17] mitman: dpkg -l | grep linux-image [11:18] ActionParsnip: there is no gui on this machine.. it was basic server config, i put in samba, openldap, ssh, etc. [11:18] ActionParsnip, i have enable all the touchpad in mouse config settings. It didn't show up on lspci [11:18] is there a tool for editing /etc/fonts/conf.d or can I edit it directly [11:18] mitman: run uname -r to find out the current kernel and uninstall the images that ARENT the one running, then run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [11:18] mitman: i dont use gui, too slow [11:19] My total system is using 15GB [11:19] according to du, 14.7GB is in my data drives [11:19] ActionParsnip gnome do appears to run apps by menu name, ie gedit wont launch but test editor does. [11:19] mitman: as i said, uninstall pointless old kernels, video drivers you'll never need [11:19] ActionParsnip: I have no kernels or vid drivers on this system [11:20] So this machine is behind a proxy server. My sources.list pulls from both external servers on the outside of the proxy, as well as from some internal servers which I have a direct connection to. for some reason, I am unable to get the proxy information set up correctly as a normal user. [11:20] ActionParsnip: I installed this server like 3 weeks ago, never did apt-get upgrade after it was running [11:20] mitman: well you do have a kernel [11:20] ActionParsnip: yes one only [11:20] I have http_proxy & no_proxy set in enviroment. [11:20] mitman: ok just checking [11:20] ActionParsnip, alps is detected by using xinput list [11:20] I made huge partitions and I made them all seperate [11:20] mitman: read dpkg -l | less [11:21] mitman: then make a note of anything you can uninstall [11:21] how do I use intrepid-backports repo? [11:21] I have my apt.conf set up to support proxy servers for all, with one server listed as a direct connection(internal machine) [11:21] if I login as root and run the update command for apt, I pull all the indexes and stuffs easily with no trouble [11:21] I don't have many things installed on the system.. only about 7 pages of packages [11:22] like i said, I only installed what was needed.. this server is a file server / domain controller [11:22] and print server [11:22] if I try running the update via sudo or through the gui interface, it failes to pull anything [11:22] there's really no reason why / should be full [11:22] will fsck do anything to fix it? [11:22] Yetr2: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [11:22] ActionParsnip: nope, fails. [11:22] Yetr2: can you give a bit more information please [11:23] sure, would you like some output? [11:23] Yetr2: pastebin the whole output of the command and lets see what we have [11:23] !paste [11:23] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [11:23] mitman: its worth a read, just to check [11:23] Yay! Ubottu IS online again. [11:24] hmm... I was hoping that pastebinit wouldn't fail like that [11:25] I am trying to load that website [11:25] hello pipl === Benji is now known as Guest83336 [11:25] mitman: possibly,the partition will need umounting [11:25] ActionParsnip: hello [11:26] hi bios [11:26] ActionParsnip: I live in Ua [11:26] ActionParsnip: help you [11:26] ?

I have 2 raid setups.. my ubuntu distro and then I have /ldapdata and /ldapbackup on another drive in two partitions [11:28] Yetr2: http://commodore.verizon.com doesnt exist [11:28] ActionParsnip: looks like /ldapbackup is not mounting during boot and thats where i do my nightly snapshot backups [11:28] How does one configure eth0 network interface ? After recent update 2 laptops running ubuntu intrepid lost internet connection ... TIA [11:29] mitman: sounds likely [11:29] ActionParsnip: that would be because it isn't routable from the interwebs, that would be my internal server [11:29] :) [11:29] Yetr2: i see [11:29] ActionParsnip: so, how do i resolve this problem?

If I'm not logged in as root, ie. my current user, and try to use the gui or just run `sudo aptitude update`, I get errors and aptitude doesn't find anything, with 404's [11:44] ActionParsnip: again, it's not disabled in "linux" but in "ubuntu" [11:44] hbekel: true [11:44] !root [11:44] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible.

I just wish the boot up screen could have told me that *sigh* [13:58] @rumpel good choice ;) i use songbird for songs sometimes but not often [13:59] I had a friend who regularly used amarok on hardy [13:59] oh right, thank you [13:59] anybody with the solution to that? [14:00] krayon: well I think even after the boot up screen you can still do a command line install. I believe you hit F6 or something for options it says at the bottom. [14:00] @nmvictor starting as root works? [14:00] or sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start ? [14:02] rumpel removing amarok fixed rythmbox but still can't browse any folder at all [14:03] what could it be? [14:03] is soundkonverter the best for convertin gmp4's to mp3?

I wish to backup /home (as root) while preserving file ownership and permissions. I tired using the -a switch, but it still says root owns all files and folders. [14:07] JuJuBee you can change permissions with sudo nautilus I think [14:07] after backup? [14:08] I don't know what rsynch does [14:08] sorry I'm new here [14:08] haven't tried backup yet [14:08] JuJuBee: why are you backing up /home as root? [14:08] @juju needs --numeric-ids, if backup is stored on a server, where not every user is registered [14:08] !tab [14:08] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [14:09] rumpel: not sure what that means? [14:09] What if I am only using rsync to backup to a portable hd? [14:09] @juju try -azve [14:10] JuJuBee, what filesystem on the portable HDD ??

I removed vim-full again, ~/.vim* and any spare lockfiles in cwd, but still no go. Any ideas? [14:13] JuJuBee: rsync -a must NOT say root owns everything after the copying. isn't it a problem on the destination filesystem? [14:14] so anyone can help ? ... [14:14] aaah, NTFS [14:14] JuJuBee, welll, there you go - NTFS has no capability of storing unix permissions and ownership [14:14] @histo bad, old, very old and nasty habbit and to old to learn new tricks i guess ;) [14:14] bummer. guess I have to reformat then [14:14] JuJuBee: how is the destination mounted [14:14] automatically [14:14] DanDan: if you have a seperate /home the easiest solution is to reinstall fresh leaving the old home intact and unformatted. [14:14] yeah, use a real filesystem :) [14:14] fitzgerald: nah.. that didn't work === thelordmortis is now known as thelordmortis|aw [14:14] plug in and viola, its mounted. === zul_ is now known as zul [14:15] Yea, I should have reformatted before using.

I think the -96 driver runs that one.. [14:21] hi [14:21] rempul [14:21] scunizi: so install nvidia-glx-96 and then run nvidia-xconfig? [14:21] scunizi: is that the way to install the driver? [14:21] ipv6 tracker seems down [14:21] rumpel [14:22] zamba: once the -96 is installed you may have to go to System/Admin/Hardware drivers and activate it. (if you haven't looked there already do so).. then run nvidia-xconfig [14:23] scunizi: i'm not able to use X (the GUI) to do stuff like that [14:23] scunizi: the computers are set up with only one user, and it has no privileges [14:23] scunizi: so i have to do this using shs [14:23] ssh* [14:23] hello, my ubuntu doesn't have manual documentation installed, what is the package i need to install it?

[14:33] yes, yes, I know all the reasons it's not a good idea [14:33] Lasivian: Do you want an automatic login, or no password at all? [14:33] hateball: automatic [14:33] I am thinking about power saving mode. I heard that laptops by default has power saving mode activated. This makes the cpu run really slow. How can I change this in ubuntu? [14:33] zacky: maybe you could tell me in #ubuntu-offtopic why people like it so much. it seems horribly riddled with early-80s workarounds for the hardware limitations of the time. not like the modern cli/ncurses/whatever programs [14:34] Lasivian: gksudo gdmsetup -> Security [14:34] hateball: my theory is to set a timer so my notebook checks my website whenever it's online, if it finds a specific file I have left there then it starts emailing me pictures from the webcam and keylogs, which would be very useful if I lose it or have it stolen [14:34] hateball: thanks [14:35] scunizi: but that's not very easy to do on 50+ computers.. :p [14:35] scunizi: i need something that works semi-automatically [14:35] thebackwash: well, its fast and small, you can run it in commandline over ssh, then is highly customizable [14:35] Lasivian: use a cron job and a script [14:35] scunizi: getting stuff to work without the nvidia drivers was just a matter of removing the xorg.conf file and then everything worked just fine [14:35] I'm trying to set up some bluetooth hardware but everytime i set it up with kinputwizard it gives me the message: "Failed to create the input device for ___". I get this message with 2 SEPARATE pieces of hardware. Could anyone help with this? [14:36] histo: aye, i'm in the middle of upgrading to 9.04 to try and get the screwy acer camera to work [14:36] Lasivian: and yes you can have it autologin if you wanted. but you don't need to, to accomplish what you want with the cam. [14:36] zamba: are you displaying just standard stuff on the monitor or do you want the rotating cube effect available? [14:37] i just found out that, actually i have vim-tiny installed, which is only 832k!!!!! [14:37] scunizi: basically just standard stuff.. [14:37] Lasivian: System > administrations > Login Window change to the security tab and enable automatic login [14:37] zamba: then why not use the generic nv driver ? [14:37] zacky: Yes, thats the standard package thats installed, which is why I suggested installing -full [14:37] what is the other ubuntu channel? [14:37] i am aproblem with sound any help????

[14:39] histo: I have no sensitive data on it so I might as well let whoever gets their hands on it use it to report themselves [14:39] which package must i install to have a preview pic of movie files in gThumb picture browser [14:40] Lasivian: true the other issue is that if someone has direct access to the hardware the login is useless === Cueball|2 is now known as Cueball === Cueball is now known as Cueball|2 [14:40] zamba: :) it's called nv .. it's already installed and just needs to be called by xorg.conf.. in the driver line of xorg replace whatever is there with nv. you can also list the correct resolution in xorg for the monitor(s) [14:41] zacky: i've always been an ed man myself. not THAT's lightweight [14:41] does the cmd "rm -rf /" must be run under sudo or just direct ? if its direct, then anyone can kill my linux ? [14:41] now* [14:41] scunizi: so wiping the xorg.conf won't make this work? [14:41] I NEED SOME HELP [14:41] histo: well, if it boots up and it's useable chances are someone will use it rather than reimage it immediately [14:41] can somne on help me [14:41] zamba: I'm not sure. Iyou might consider rebuilding xorg with [14:41] Kimi: don't worry about it, that command has been safe guarded, yet it's still not wise to suggest it [14:41] !ask | tanveer [14:41] tanveer: 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. :-) [14:42] how do i share files in linux and open them in windows [14:42] ikonia, means it cannot be run even under sudo ?!! [14:42] kinda hard to explain [14:42] @tanveer samba [14:42] Kimi: coreutils should protect you, you would never want to run that command, so it doesn't matter [14:42] zamba: sorry small lappy keyboard.. just rename xorg and try.. then you might rebuild it with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [14:43] i have 2 hard drives, 1 has xp the other has ubuntu, how do i access the ubuntu harddrive from Xp? [14:43] scunizi: again.. this is not very unattended install-friendly, as dpkg-reconfigure will ask a few questions, right? [14:43] !ask [14:43] 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. :-) [14:43] ikonia, ok . but if someone wants to KILL my computer. they can do it ? cant they ? or dat coreutils will prevent this ocmmand totally ? [14:43] zamba: all terminal based [14:43] Kimi: coreutils "should" protect you against that, but it doesnt really matter any more [14:43] scunizi: yeah, but if i have to do the same on 50+ computer i'll go mad [14:43] computers* [14:43] Kimi: you would also need root access, but as I said, coreutils should protect [14:44] zamba: are the computer the same? [14:44] tangentcollision, xp cannot access ubuntu (because ubuntu has ext3 file system) , but ubuntu can access windows drives i think [14:44] zamba: same basic montior setup? [14:44] tangentcollision, sorry.. not you :( [14:44] scunizi: yeah, but i know what you're thinking now.. they won't be the same forever.. i will start introducing new computer models.. [14:44] tanveer, ^^ [14:44] okay [14:44] !ask I've Ubuntu Server and I'd like to share internet over it. Its DHCP works properly and i've done maquerading and postrouting and the ipforwarding is 1. I cant ping and the NET isnt working. What shall i do? [14:44] tanveer, xp cannot access ubuntu (because ubuntu has ext3 file system) , but ubuntu can access windows drives i thin [14:44] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:44] @kimi if someone gains root-access or access with the appropriate permissions... yes... === jelmer_ is now known as Guest60279 === lemmy_ is now known as lemmykoopa [14:45] zamba: that's ok.. you can use the same xorg.conf file on all of them [14:45] abicska, ? [14:45] I need help formatting a drive [14:45] can i get any viruses on ubuntu? [14:45] @kimi correct. [14:45] scunizi: what about resolution and stuff like that? [14:45] rumpel, ok [14:45] @tanveer yes... but inlikely [14:45] how do I format my C drive if I'm on my D drive? [14:45] Kimi: 've Ubuntu Server and I'd like to share internet over it. Its DHCP works properly and i've done maquerading and postrouting and the ipforwarding is 1. I cant ping and the NET isnt working. What shall i do? [14:45] Does the power management for laptops affect the cpu speed? [14:45] it keeps giving access denied [14:46] zamba: fix one first so it works right then copy the xorg.conf across to the next and see.. should work [14:46] @abic dhcp-server installed? [14:46] is thier windows movie maker for ubuntu? [14:46] zamba: do you have a gui on the machine you're working on? [14:46] rumpel: its working properly [14:46] yes our you can use a router as a mini dhcp server @abi [14:46] zamba: not the one you're trying to fix.. but the one you're using. [14:47] @abic ping should be repaired first [14:47] scunizi: yup [14:47] @abic check firewalls, forwarding... [14:47] rumpel: yes but how? [14:47] rumpel: forwarding is ok [14:47] my computer's manual mentions that my laptop has a maximum memory of 2gb, why is that ? [14:47] scunizi: but i'll just use the driver bundled with X.org [14:47] do you use firewalls? [14:47] rumpel: how can i check firewall? [14:47] is thier an alternative for windows movies maker?? === jsj0nes_ is now known as jsj0nes [14:47] scunizi: too much hassle with this and it basically works [14:47] can't be bothered no more :p [14:47] Kimi: note however that there are ext2/3 drivers available for Windows so that Windows can access your Ubuntu partition [14:47] dassouki: b/c they had to limit it somewhere [14:48] i have other issues i have to resolve as well, so [14:48] rumpel: i didnt installed but i think theres one on my ubuntu server [14:48] tyler_d: so if i put a 2gb stick on top of the 1gb built in [14:48] will that work [14:48] tanveer: you should have a look at the synaptic package manager [14:48] rumpel: how can i set it up? [14:48] @abic netstat, nmap... you can also watch network packets via ethereal/wireshark [14:48] @abi did u set it up? [14:48] what does the packet manager do? [14:48] @abi you not generally need a firewall [14:48] zamba: the one bundled is typically nv or vesa depending on the card installed. I can have ubottu give you the resolution link if you want for more hints and tips.. [14:48] scunizi: ok [14:48] dassouki: no it will not... your computer may not even recognize the 2GB stick... max 2 GB means your best off going with 2 1GB sticks [14:49] !resolution | zamba [14:49] zamba: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

I have to use chown and chmod to fix.. I haven't found a different solution yet. :( [14:51] tyler_d: umm any way i can overcome that ? [14:51] Brucevdk, ^ if i have ext3 windows drive [14:51] @abicska check running processes [14:51] scunizi: damn [14:52] scunizi: it works if i use gvfs to mount the same share.. [14:52] zamba: there's gotta be a way.. I just haven't looked very hard for a solution.. [14:52] Brucevdk: that's assuming he's running as administrator in Windows [14:52] anoop i installed "ubuntu-restricted-extras" which made my browse Java needed sites to work [14:52] Kimi: no, I don't believe Windows itself supports installing to ext3 so that is irrelevant anyways.

[15:00] does wubi run any different than if i were to install via the livecd? [15:00] linuxnoob2009, it just installs into your drive and adds to bootloader ..... you can try ubuntu with this...... [15:00] Ned2: #ubuntu+1 for jaunty chat [15:00] boydhatha, use usb-creator and make a persistent file [15:00] linuxnoob2009, yes.. its faster than live cd and it can save files .... and can install many softwares [15:00] zamba: ah!.. I know that unop is in here a lot and knowledgeable on lots of the inner workings.. ikonia is worth asking too.. sorry ikonia, I'll let zamba reitterate his issue.. [15:00] but is wubi slower than a normal install? [15:01] I guess the only way to really protect other partitions from Windows is by having Windows sandboxed, otherwise it has "direct" access to the hardware to bypass pretty much anything [15:01] ikonia, thanks for sending ubottu [15:01] Either that, or some kind of hardware controller that prevents access [15:01] Hi ! .

I'm running some applications on an ubuntu 8.10 desktop pc that use alot of memory. The PC is able to run without problems for about 24 hours but starts to get very slugglish after a certain time ( SSH consoles stop responding, only ping to the PC works, everything else hangs). I'm trying to find a good guide that could help me tune the PC's swapping options to reduce mem issues. [15:11] any ideas? [15:12] @ abicska i guess, your client gateways are faulty... [15:12] k, for the time it took you guys to tell me to /msg infobot, you could have answered my question [15:12] JPZ: assign more swap space ? kill unused processes ? [15:12] rumpel: how can i correct it? [15:12] @ abicska you should enter the server as gateway for 169.254.0.0. network, i guess [15:12] JPZ check mem integrity [15:12] *memtest? [15:13] I've already done house cleaning on most processes tha tI dont need. The pc also has plenty of swap memory, but never uses it it seems [15:13] im still waiting for a reply... [15:13] Me too! [15:13] i have a question... my frnd runs a shop with a network ... he wants to go ubuntu server version.... he just wants to know "why linux servers dont need "offtime" like that in wind's server ?"

[16:46] elnjinjo: I go sudo apt-get install googleearth <--- it does not work, what is wrong? [16:46] fdr: I'm not sure exactly what it does.

[16:48] ScottG: not sure, i never use htop, top n 1 will give you a snapshot [16:48] Lasivian: whats file do you need? the desktop is really just a folder - you'd need to replace the files that were in the folder ~/Desktop [16:48] fredbob k i c abi-2.6.27-11-generic memtest86+.bin abi-2.6.27-14-generic System.map-2.6.27-11-generic abi-2.6.27-7-generic System.map-2.6.27-14-generic config-2.6.27-11-generic System.map-2.6.27-7-generic config-2.6.27-14-generic etc [16:48] ScottG: I guess htop n 1 will do the same [16:48] bbeecher1: ok, i'll try that [16:48] it's safe to delete say -7 directories? [16:48] is there a widget or software for real time currency conversion [16:48] moncky: Why use top? I'm not an expert on either but htop seems more thorough?

I haven't had a chance to mess with it but it seems pretty cool [16:49] i downloaded a tar bz2, and extracted the contents. now how do i install? [16:49] ScottG: never heard of it [16:49] The netboot doesn't include the installer and doesn't include my Wi-Fi drivers. [16:50] its the newest firefox if that's important [16:50] Why is it better than top? [16:50] sdg: Ubuntu-minimal will install on less than 256Mb. But of course that is a command-line only system [16:50] genii: The netboot doesn't include the installer and doesn't include my Wi-Fi drivers. [16:50] vegombrei: I am not certain on that, markets fluctuate and change in nano seconds or less, there is NASDAQ or something online. [16:50] hi, I've a /home shared between kubuntu and gentoo, users created before gentoo install got problem with locale. Which conf file/apps could modify my locale after login ? [16:50] ScottG: hell just did yum install ntop ( on a centos box atm) and 10 Meg ?? [16:51] rdawkins, i would assume, so long as you don't delete the one you are booted in [16:51] rdawkins, you will also need to edit boot.list in grub [16:51] ScottG: ahh i see its a gui [16:51] Can anyone here help me get my webcam working? I have an HP DV9000 series laptop [16:51] sdg: So buid an initramfs which has the wifi drivers or other stuff you need and use that for the initrd [16:51] Lasivian: the setting files for the desktop would be stored in home, as hidden files. You can see them with ls -a. AFAIK you need .gconf, .gconfd and .gnome [16:52] bbeecher1: thank you [16:52] fredbob I see [16:52] moncky: Ntop is a gui?

[16:57] open a terminal, and type uname -r [16:57] ooh, thanks [16:57] sdg: Alternately you can use a persistent livecd or so. The usb 256 becomes ext2/3 volume named like casper-cow (copy-on-write) partition. The livecd stores any changes made on it to the 256 but toherwise can run off the cd.

[17:00] PerryArmstrong: lamp [17:01] PerryArmstrong: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server [17:01] fredbob: yeah - although I waited to break my kernel until I was on my second distro :/ [17:01] Here is the thing. When my laptop boots network is not yet configured since NM didn´t start it yet. Samba however tries to start since it is in S20 on rc2-5.d but it fails immediately because no network is configured yet. What is the official solution for such a conflict? [17:01] bbeecher1, first day for me :D haha. [17:01] epaphus: sudo apt-get install thunderbird [17:02] hello, i just updated to the rc, and everything seems quite ok, but alt-f2 isn't working any more [17:02] epaphus, you might want to check out SpiceBird [17:02] iceroot, thanks [17:02] fredbob: haha probably learn quicker that way :) [17:02] mkulke : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion. [17:02] mkulke: join #ubuntu+1 [17:02] alrighty [17:02] bbeecher1, possibly, it's frustrating as hell though [17:03] moncky: What did you mean by there are some xorg dependencies? Does it have a gui that comes with it? [17:03] vegombrei:Did you look at Screenlets and Desklets? [17:04] If I just install open office 3.0x will it automatically upgrade my existing version 2.4 [17:04] hmm, strange thing. I've changed my X11 cursor theme but some cursors are becoming default while on pidgin's conversation window [17:04] is there any fix? [17:04] pjfry1: no [17:04] pjfry1: not if you are using a donwloaded deb-file [17:04] Hello there, is it possible to buy a laptop with ubuntu preinstalled on it in Belgium? [17:05] Rover_, Dell [17:05] Rover_: look at dell [17:05] Okay Iceroot how do I upgrade then? [17:05] pjfry1: which ubuntu-version? [17:05] Intrepid ibex [17:05] Rover_: it's way easier to install Ubuntu in Belgim on a laptop than buying with preinstalled :P [17:05] pjfry1: you want to use jaunty at 2 days? [17:06] is gnome less messed up than kde? I got messed up checkboxes in most of the applications I use (which I was told was gtk's fault). I can't mouse or click off of the kmenu, and ever since the 8.x series my touchpad is no longer stable and is all over the place. [17:06] Hetor, i know but I don't want to pay for Windows [17:06] How do I change how soon a key will repeat when it is held down? [17:06] hey guys can someone tell i installed lightscribe application only way to run it is as root is that safe? or can i change settings to run as regular user? [17:06] I am not too sure about upgrading ... everything is working well ... [17:06] Rover_: Buy a loptop with DOS [17:06] laptop* [17:07] iceroot; i wanted to install an amp installer so that its integrated [17:07] pjfry1: ok, that is a good thing. you can remove openoffic 2.4 and install 3.0 from website or use backports from jaunty which is using 3.0 [17:07] Hetor: do you know any companies that sell laptops with DOS [17:07] genii: I need 1GB for a persistant Live CD. [17:07] ?* [17:07] hi [17:07] PerryArmstrong: why? just use lamp [17:07] PerryArmstrong: and /etc/init.d/ for managing the apps [17:08] How do I change how soon a key will repeat when it is held down? [17:08] Rover_: I just saw few laptops for sell that are running Free DOS [17:08] who was it that wanted google earth? [17:08] This is an old machine ... 1000 mhz and I am not sure Jaunty will run smoothly on it. [17:08] how do i use this /etc/init.d ?? [17:09] Hetor: thanks, I'll look for that, off to diner now (; [17:09] PerryArmstrong: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart for e.g. [17:09] PerryArmstrong: with sudo [17:09] genii: I don't have an optical drive. [17:09] genii: I don't know how a persistant Live CD is supposed to help me. [17:09] iceroot; thanks.......... [17:09] Why isn't there just an upgrade system like with firefox? [17:10] PerryArmstrong: just try it, using xampp is not a good idea (there is xampp for linux too) but using the real packages is much better [17:10] Or an apt-get to upgrade Open Office? [17:10] pjfry1: there is as i told you [17:10] iceroot; thank you very much..your information has provided much help [17:10] pjfry1: backports.... in one ubuntu version there will NEVER be a major upgrade [17:11] Hey all I have a quick questions I am running Ubuntu Jaunty 64bit it seems to run fine other then every other day or so it locks up and corrupts the file system on my ext3 partition for ubuntu. I end up booting the live cd and running fdisk to repair it then all is fine again. but does anyone know why it keeps corrupting the file system? [17:11] how can i auto-mount a drive (internal) with a name [17:11] pjfry1: only security fixes [17:12] Okay I see ... so I have to remove the old version and then install the new one. I hope it works as easy as it sounds. [17:13] how do i find my ip address using terminal [17:13] ifconfig [17:13] ifconfig [17:14] thnx [17:15] what is the package to enable the "cube" in gnome? [17:15] compiz ? [17:15] Perhaps the smart thing to do would be to just upgrade ... if it only a couple of days? [17:15] thanks [17:15] or hang on for a couple of days [17:15] Challenge Me - http://justinjg.mybrute.com :p [17:15] hello all.

[17:16] if you have a "reason" to move to 9.04 (like something is currently broken that 9.04 will certainly fix) then by all means, otherwise patience is best [17:16] why does the audio I play on my laptop sounds like dogpoo [17:17] using quality headphones [17:17] I upgraded to try and fix something and it's still not fixed so I wasted my time [17:17] Lasivian, welcome to computers [17:17] Lasivian: Install Debian and it will be fixed. === Mud|lunch is now known as Mud [17:18] I need some help with partioning my HD [17:18] My open office 2.4 seems to crash a lot ...

[17:19] sdg: because it's a hardware issue. [17:19] pjfry1: Try Debian Stable [17:19] Lasivian: Then roll over and give up. [17:19] Lauree1: but lauree is ? [17:19] why does the sound quality coming out of my ubuntu laptop sound so god awful [17:19] its fine on my server [17:19] bbeecher1, he hasn't come back yet... maybe you were right [17:19] sdg: Pretty much, thankfully it's not critical [17:19] Can I make a new partition from the empty diskspace on C: without erasing the data? [17:19] wau: well, I don't know why it sounds god awful on _your_ laptop [17:20] Sdg -- What is debian stable?? [17:20] I want to copy my bootable LIVE USB to other USB memory stick. [17:20] gerry1: lauree is still connected. can't figure it out [17:20] if i connect 4 drives in a raid, would ubuntu see it as one drive? [17:20] How can I do? cat /dev/sdc > /dev/sdd doesn't work [17:20] wau: have you tried messing around in gnome-volume-control ?

[17:21] pjfry1: A really good OS. [17:21] like this? dd if=/dev/sdd of=/dev/sdc [17:21] Pulver[SWE]: yes [17:21] Jihui_Choi, you need a partition number , but yes [17:21] Thnx Bruce [17:21] like, sdd1 sdc1 [17:21] greetings all, i have a laptop (HP Pavillion ze5730us 2.8Ghz celeron, 512MB ram) and when i play dvd's cpu is at 100% playback starts choppy and then continues to be spotty, copying data from dvd to HD goes only at 1MB/sec and dma is enabled on DVD drive, any ideas on what could cause this? === en|gma is now known as gizmo [17:22] wau: well?

Can anyone help me troubleshoot? You may pm me as this channel is usually quite chatty. [17:23] w0ls0n, just use freenx [17:23] its way better [17:23] Jihui_Choi, how many partitions on them? [17:23] Brucevdk: because ubuntu has the vulnerability [17:23] wau easy to setup? [17:23] isnt clonezilla a better way then dd if size usb drives vary ? [17:23] w0ls0n, quite [17:23] theres a howto guide [17:24] will it accept vnc client connections? [17:24] Geez w0ls0n, first you follow me to #FreeBSD, now here... [17:24] google it [17:24] : ) [17:24] sometimes ubuntu got freeze , why ! ? [17:24] slabbeh: bug #? CVE #? [17:24] hello [17:24] hi guys! [17:24] Jihui_Choi, im guessing you could use without partition numbers... im no dd expert [17:24] What filesystem should the partition be ? [17:24] deany, two. [17:24] Brucevdk: http://www.milw0rm.com/exploits/8478 [17:24] fast question anyone make upgrade to new rc jaunty from intrepid without fu up system ? [17:25] im making now but im litlle afraid it will damned kaboom [17:25] !jaunty [17:25] Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 23rd, 2009 - Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April 23rd - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [17:25] hmm [17:26] Jihui_Choi, you would use the device name not partion name to copy and have it work, if the usb devices are the same size [17:26] Brucevdk, using rhythymbox instead of vlc seems to have fixed the problem [17:26] When I'm trying to pratition the disk it just says that no root filesystem is defined ? (I use the swedish version so the translation isn't correct lol) [17:26] Jihui_Choi, ie /dev/sda not /dev/sda1 [17:26] i wonder what vlc could be doing to my music to make this happen [17:26] i need upgrade to jounty couse my gnome like to freeze without damn reazon after 3 last upgrades and im pissed rly much [17:27] Jihui_Choi, dd if=/dev/source of=/dev/dest bs=1024 . use partition numbers if you just wanna copy just the live usb partition, or leave them out to replicate the full stick [17:27] sloopy: really? but sizes of two usb stick are different [17:27] has anyone tried the new udev privilege escalation exploit by kcope (works linux kernel 2.6x) [17:27] ? [17:27] Jihui_Choi, thats differnet then... [17:27] http://milw0rm.com/exploits/8478 [17:27] does it relly works? [17:27] evil_kevin meet slabbeh [17:28] ive already posted it evil [17:28] Jihui_Choi, the issue is the info for booting isnt in the partitions [17:28] I havn't tried it though [17:28] now firefox wont play audio [17:28] but it probably does work [17:28] hmmmm [17:28] slabbeh: where are these issues supposed to be reported? [17:28] did I install googlearth correctly by installing earth 3D wich is version for Ubuntu? [17:28] i hate this [17:28] Jihui_Choi, might try a device to device and then see if you can expand the partion to fill the remaining space [17:28] Brucevdk: dont know, thats why I came in here [17:28] sloopy: I know about that. But I can't understand how can I copy mbr or something has boot info [17:29] slabbeh: anyways, it's quite obvious that the proper people will be aware of this issue [17:29] evil_kevin: kcope (who found the expoit) is well known and has uncovered many exploits so it probably does work [17:29] Who has installed google earth lately? [17:29] wow it's chatty in here [17:29] well, writing a liveusb img file (jaunty UNR) using dd makes me a bootable usb stick [17:29] Brucevdk: yes im sure they are signed upto milw0rm rss feed [17:30] slabbeh: I know that kingcope is well known lol [17:30] w0ls0n, nah, i have seen it so text scrolls up to the point of reading is difficult [17:30] deany, wow how could you do that? I have to make 70 copies [17:30] Once Jaunty is released will all updates to Intrepid stop completely? Or do they continue? [17:30] evil_kevin: then you will know it is very likely that it works [17:30] Jihui_Choi, what i was saying is, just using dd might do it all for you. [17:31] Jihui_Choi, if you arent sure just get the iso again and make em with that [17:31] drive shows in dmesg but doesnt automatically mount. what to do? [17:31] or image a cd [17:31] deany, I want to make simple as possible I can. [17:31] hey folks [17:32] anyone have info on the severe regressions of xorg-intel video drivers? [17:32] slabbeh, evil_kevin: if this is the bug http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/34536/info then it looks it was pretty much inmediatly fixed [17:32] i have tried it with one box with 15 physical processors without success [17:32] Jihui_Choi, try this. dd if=/dev/sdd1 of=/home/yourname/file.img bs=1024 === lacqui_ is now known as lacqui [17:33] * carmineweb is away: Sono occupato [17:33] Jihui_Choi, then write it back to one. dd if=/home/yourname/file.img of=/dev/sdc1 bs=1024 [17:33] deany, I see. I'll try now. thank you so much [17:33] and try it [17:33] Brucevdk: dont think it is that bug [17:33] hi all [17:33] slabbeh: why not? [17:33] guys i need help [17:33] i'm looking for documents about gnu and open source [17:33] but it really sucks if most linux 2.6 boxes are now rootable [17:34] Why is Firefox always asking me what plug-in I want to install for Shockwave/flash? I've already installed the three ones that they ask me about... [17:34] i have a drive on my computer that is recognised by gparted, but for some reason even when i mount it in gparted i don't see it anywhere else [17:34] evil_kevin: it's a local exploit, I assume there have been a great many of those [17:34] Brucevdk: actually... looks like it is [17:35] yes i know that it's LOCAL root exploit [17:35] no need to say that to me [17:35] so why is my drive not mounting? === Cueball|2 is now known as Cueball [17:35] pff i just get ubuntu+1 === Cueball is now known as Cueball|2 [17:35] evil_kevin: well, then why is this particular exploit more worrisome than the gazillion (assumption) other ones? [17:36] i added it to fstab, a manual mount point, but it isn't there [17:36] any tips? [17:36] because many boxes have ssh enabled to you can log in and root lol [17:36] so* [17:37] evil_kevin: uh... there have been a great many local root exploits in the past, this is no different than any of those [17:37] yes it's not different [17:37] have I said that it's different lol [17:37] ? [17:38] evil_kevin: no, but I don't exactly see the purpose behind discussing what seems to be an already long fixed exploit [17:38] what package should i download to have my webcam take a picture? [17:39] a snapshot, thats it [17:39] evil_kevin: well, actually, I do see a purpose in discussing it. Just not as in "Oh nooo we're all doomed now!" [17:39] brucevdk: can you tell when it was fixed (I'm a bit lazy now) [17:40] evil_kevin: if this is CVE-2009-1185 then it was fixed somewhere around the 17th, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=495051 [17:41] evil_kevin: actually, it seems it was the 9th [17:41] ok ok, the 8th [17:41] brucevdk: are you kidding? there are alot of unpatched boxes out there if this is CVE-2009 something and this is 2.6.X bug [17:41] greetings all, i have a laptop (HP Pavillion ze5730us 2.8Ghz celeron, 512MB ram) and when i play dvd's cpu is at 100% playback starts choppy and then continues to be spotty, copying data from dvd to HD goes only at 1MB/sec and dma is enabled on DVD drive, any ideas on what could cause this? [17:42] wau freenx is installed but not starting. The log file doesn't have any info in it. Any ideas what to check? [17:42] evil_kevin: so? Can you tell me how many local root exploits there have been for 2.6.x so far? [17:42] w0ls0n, use your google and your internet [17:42] and find the guide for setting it up [17:42] its hosted on ubuntu. [17:43] *sigh* [17:43] thats what i did [17:43] I found the guide [17:43] !iso [17:43] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.

[17:44] there have been many but they are version spcific like vmsplice (vmsplice call was added on 2.6.17 and later) [17:44] I'm just gonna reboot the damn box [17:44] what can I use for a windows client?

[17:45] This program is pretty sweet :) Just kinda skimmed through the man page, set it p with some arguments and bam, ton of stats for my server :) [17:46] Is there a way to query the daemon besides by just looking at the webserver output? [17:46] ScottG: what's so wat's so problematic about running it on a different port ? [17:47] hi guys...I've just discovered that Ubuntu has a web browser called "Epiphany"...is this any better than firefox 3? And if so, why? [17:47] So I could get like command line stats? [17:47] erUSUL: No its completely fine I was just currious. Its probably better this way, which is reduntant though cuz its impossible lol [17:47] mikebeecham: it uses the same rendering angine and has some of the same extensions but it is better integrated in gnome [17:48] evil_kevin: well look at it from a positive side, at least this helped me figure out how to locate CVEs and their associated bug reports ;-) [17:48] hi all [17:48] erUSUL: thanks for that mate...looking at it now, struggling to get firefox bookmarks imported over [17:48] :) [17:48] how do I installed this package? http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/python-psycopg2/download [17:49] http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-758-1 === Mud is now known as Mud|shower [17:50] evil_kevin: if you punch in the CVE in Google the top hit will be Mitre which will contain links to all bug reports, including Launchpad === DasEi is now known as alraune === Cueball|2 is now known as Cueball [17:51] im out for now [17:51] anyone?

[18:02] JordiGH, why would you have to do a nonsensical thing like 2 upgrades to get to one [18:02] wau: Because that's what ubuntu recommends? [18:02] weird [18:02] JordiGH: ...yes... maybe there is some historical archive.. [18:03] i'd just reinstall then [18:03] wau: These are servers to which I don't have physical access.

[18:42] sloopy: That sounds like the area I would investigate, re-install or repair the messed up stuff, too many I/Os can be a bad draw on any box.

The two IDE drives are formatted with NTFS but I am using virtualbox running freenas to mount a virtual HDD on each of these drives as a RAID1 array (yes, I know...I'm testing).

[19:03] they're 3rd-party [19:03] okay thanks crdlb [19:03] xnmrph: sudo umount -a [19:03] hello, my sound on tvtime (tvcard msi tv@nywhere) doesnt work, some help? [19:03] MarkJones, i cant even install the os [19:03] krammer:ubuntu will format for you. [19:03] krammer: the updates may fix that.

Or part of it, anyway. In my fstab file, I mount the drives as /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 etc. But it appears that one of the drives is no longer that mount. One is /dev/sde and the other is /dev/sdb [19:04] i cant load the advanced visual efects with my x3100? any body has any ideia how to deal with it? [19:04] how do i find my path to my jdk [19:04] !latest | dstrbdfrk1: [19:04] dstrbdfrk1:: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [19:05] I meant as old as in 8.04 vs 8.04.2 BTW [19:05] what's a good application to use if i just want to record audio (from the mic input) when the audio only comes from time to time, and not record all the blank air. Any ideas or directions to point me? [19:05] bonhoffer, locate jdk I think, you might have to do sudo updatedb first [19:05] dstrbdfrk1:apt fetches the latest from the repos ,apt-get update, apt-get upgrade for installed ones [19:05] eseven73, doesn't do it [19:05] MarkJones, i used ubuntu when it was gutsy === Cueball|2 is now known as Cueball [19:05] xnmrph: what does gparted show ? === Cueball is now known as Cueball|2 [19:06] does ubuntu have a remaster utility? [19:06] What does Gutsy have to do with your situation now? You need an updated image to start.If your not willing to do that then Im not willing to go further. [19:06] man you are a new as they come [19:07] what is the basic kde package name ? can we install it without install the whole kde ? [19:07] !remaster > philip888 [19:07] philip888, please see my private message [19:07] kde-core? [19:07] ur saying i can use this 8.04 because the kernel has been update [19:07] *cant [19:07] DasEi, for the drive that is still mounted, gparted reports that it is ntfs and has flags msftres [19:07] can I ask a (probably) over-used question....Evolution or Thunderbird? Which one would be better? [19:07] kubuntu-desktop is the meta package isn't it? [19:08] HexiLeD:KDE is a number of packages. [19:08] TheMadBeaver, yep [19:08] MarkJones whats the name of the basic package ? [19:08] DasEi, for the drive where the mount is corrupted, it reports ntfs and the same flags BUT there is no padlock next to the filesystem description. For the mounted drive, there is a padlock next to the partition type [19:09] HexiLeD:When you install KDE there is no basic package.There are a bunch of dependencies that go along with it.kde-core [19:09] cioa [19:09] xnmrph: the one IDE so, and for the other IDE ? [19:09] MarkJones that includes all the kde packages that we have tof kde ? [19:09] *for [19:09] Yes, both are IDE and both are reported as ntfs by gparted whereas fdisk -l reports them as having GPT filesystems [19:10] bonhoffer, locate jdk command works on my box no probs, are you sure you did sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk? [19:10] HexiLeD: Remeber that if you want a default install of KDE rather than Gnome you can also choose to download Kubuntu ISO image and install that instead. [19:10] i know. [19:10] xnmrph: did you try the hdparm - z on them ? [19:11] DasEi, I did on one. One moment [19:11] <^icy-ice^> Hi, if you were able to program, what would be your program for GNU/Linux?

[19:11] HexiLeD: When you select kde-core from synaptic package manager there are many other packages called dependencies that are selected along with it.They are ALL needed for KDE to work.

[19:13] hi, I'm trying to change the color of selected text. I am trying to do it from gnome-color-chooser but can't find it there [19:13] Lartza: yes [19:13] Lartza_: ftp, sftp, scp, samba [19:13] DasEi. OK. I tried that. For the mounted devices I got an error saying it was busy. For the corrupted mount, it didn't report any errors or similar. [19:14] ok MarkJones i understand that. i just looking to install basic stuff about kde. and for basic i mean .. something that doesn't install tones os applications. ( im not refering to dependencies ) for example . with gentoo you have kde or kde-bse ( just the WMa a few extra things ) with arch linux you also have that kind of choice. [19:15] DasEi, for the corrupted mount, it says, "re-reading partition table' [19:15] anyone using the "move_to_workspace_x" keybindings working in gnome? [19:15] DasEi, then if I fdisk -l the device, it reports a GPT file system with an Id of 0xee [19:15] Could you tell more? [19:15] MarkJones : with debian : kde - the K Desktop Environment official modules and kde-core - the K Desktop Environment core modules [19:15] HexiLeD:kde-core is basic [19:15] http://www.xfce-look.org/content/show.php/DarkSide?content=100906 [19:16] yes [19:16] workspace keybindings don't seem to be working for me in gnome. [19:16] DasEi. Perhaps what I need to do is to mount these drives via their UUID as one of them isn't the device it was as defined in fstab. It used to be /dev/sda but it seems to have decided that it's not /dev/sde [19:16] So if I want to output all my audio so I will hear it on other computer, what I do? [19:16] not=now [19:16] thanks MarkJones [19:16] Lartza_: for local network transfers Samba is pretty easy as it is pre-installed and allow you to easily share folders. Any specific questions?

[19:18] The computer are on direct lan [19:18] xnmrph: I can help you there, but gparted and fstab should show according information, sudo blkid gives you correct uuids ((sorry, a vm just went down )) [19:18] !enter [19:18] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

I think the worrying things are that fdisk can see the contents of some of the vdis on these mounts(!) and that it reports differently from fdisk. That can't be right...(?!) [19:20] Lartza_: probably not with PulseAudio, but I bet there are other ways, you could for example capture all sound and probably stream it [19:20] hi [19:20] Hello everybody, i just install ubuntu 9.04 on my desktop, but i didn't get the resolution i had under windows (1440x900), can only choose between 4 resolutions ("1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480") [19:20] wizared: failed to open .avi file [19:20] http://pastebin.com/m63758de2 [19:20] !jaunty | xb414 [19:20] xb414: Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 23rd, 2009 - Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April 23rd - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support.

[19:34] I'm going to handle some sensitive files, and I'd like to prevent them leaking from a specific folder through autosave or some other suchlike unknown feature. So I thought I'd create a user with permissions to modify only that folder and then use su to run the program that uses them. Would that work? [19:35] xnmrph: I gave you that line above ; sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs ntfs-3g [19:35] wizared: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mplayer/+bug/197068 [19:35] MartianW: root could still read those files [19:35] DasEi1, they're already installed [19:36] seb-, that would be fine. I'm just worried about them being saved somewhere else while unencrypted. === natschil_ is now known as natschil [19:36] xnmrph: so can you access the content again now ? [19:36] MartianW: can you put them in a directory you know isn't saved? i'm not aware of any "autosave" feature [19:37] DasEi1, Yes, since I remounted. There are two things I don't understand, though. 1) Why Ubuntu tried to mount a device that didn't exist, though (/dev/sda1 was in fstab but didn't exist according to gparted AND fdisk). 2) Why fdisk is reporting these file systems as GPT when they are NTFS (which is what gparted reports them as) [19:39] xnmrph: it may be in fstab as a UUID instead of /dev/ [19:39] !blkid [19:39] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [19:39] seb-, I'm worried that the software that will be modifying them has a bug that would make a copy somewhere else. [19:39] ActionParsnip, it wasn't in fstab as UUID. I only just added it. [19:39] xnmrph: ok, was worth a shot [19:40] Hello, and sorry to disturb. I'm having a small issue with APT.. I can't find how to configure it to NOT use ipv6. [19:40] MartianW: perhaps run that software chroot? [19:40] xnmrph: at bootup and with your otion defaults ubuntu "works" through fstab, drive not found > see dmesg or syslog; fdisk / gpt is strange to me, maybe cause of mtab, try hdparm -t z again or even restart hal [19:40] hparm -z * [19:40] use Hello, Android to type an entire paragraph just for fun [19:41] I am new to programming and this is a great OS to begin with [19:41] unable to mount media. any one know what that means [19:41] seb-, that sounds perfect. So it won't be able to touch anything outside of the chroot enviroment?

[19:42] oh i am going to android [19:42] bye [19:42] DasEi1, I already tried that a few times and fdisk still reports them as GPT. Like I said, there are Virtualbox HDDs (vdis) on these partitions that ARE GPT as I have a virtual Freenas RAID1 array running across these two IDE drives. But they are formatted for NTFS for the purposes of Ubuntu. It's as though something can see the content of the partitions and mistakenly reports them as GPT/UFS [19:42] Hello, I have the community driven ubuntu build for powerpc, since 1 week or so it doesn't update anymore (can't update package info) are the powerpc repo down ? [19:42] WoLf_Loonie: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=87798 [19:43] xnmrph: it'll be the raid, the vbox-'hd's are haandled as files [19:44] ActionParsnip: not what I need, sorry. I use IPv6. I just want to disable it under apt [19:44] And that "turn off ipv6" is the only answer I found searching on internet =( [19:45] hi all [19:45] DasEi1, What do you mean by "it'll be the RAID" ? On these IDE drives I have the following. An Ubuntu virtual HDD, a 70GB RAID virtual HDD on one drive. On the other is a Freenas 128MB virtual HDD and the other virtual RAID HDD (70GB) [19:45] i need some help with installing a driver for my webcam on ubuntu [19:46] !webcam | RAMco [19:46] RAMco: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [19:46] DasEi1, but these are just files, right? Just files that pretend to be a HDD to Virtualbox. I don't see how anything could mistake them for the partition type [19:46] ActionParsnip, i have looked at that site and still have issues [19:47] RAMco: is your webcam listed as supported? [19:47] yes [19:47] Brucevdk, yes it is [19:48] RAMco: so what kind of issues are you having? [19:48] xnmrph: so you created a 70 g raid partiton on each ide, where did you set the raid ? ubuntu or vbox ? [19:48] well i downloaded the driver and when i run "make" i get an error 2 [19:49] RAMco: what instructions are you following? [19:49] RAMco: did you install build-essential [19:49] Brucevdk, im new to linux so i dont understand that much [19:49] ActionParsnip, yes i did [19:49] How do you find the mount point for a dvd if its not in mount [19:50] DasEI1, I created a virtual machine in Vbox with 3 virtual HDDs. On one IDE drive (160GB), I put 1x128MB HDD for Freenas and 1x70GB HDD. On the other IDE drive I put 1x70GB HDD. I then installed Freenas onto this Vbox then told it to build a RAID1 array using the two 70GB virtual HDDs === root is now known as Guest15320 [19:50] ActionParsnip, i ran this command for the build-essential [19:50] ActionParsnip, sudo apt-get install build-essential [19:50] DasEi1, Do you follow so far ?

I can't get it to work. used to just use /dev/ttyUSB0 [19:51] ActionParsnip: I'll let you take this one ;-) [19:51] Brucevdk, well i extacted the driver [19:52] Brucevdk, navigated to the folder and run the command make thats where im stuck and none of the software recognize the webcam, but when i run "lsusb" its there [19:52] DasEi1: The IDE drives that I am creating these virtual HDDs on are BOTH formatted for NTFS by gparted in Ubuntu. Only the virtual machine knows that these virtual RAID drives are formatted for UFS/GPT as Freenas is based on FreeBSD which uses that file format.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [19:53] ActionParsnip, what do u mean ./configure ? [19:54] RAMco: cd into the source folder with the makefile file, type the command [19:54] RAMco: ./configure [19:54] xnmrph: though I do, but that becomes overhelming, as I can't imagine how the vbox or the installer of it's inside apps set up their raid info, don't think guessing what irritates fdisk makes sense so; you can access them again, fire up vbox and try === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay [19:54] any 1 know how 2 run php file at ubuntu i had installed php in my pc [19:55] after a regular install, anything else need to be done with security or whatever?

It's just running Freenas as far as I am concerned and Freenas is building a software RAID1 array on the two 70GB HDDs that I provide to it. There is no simulated hardware RAID controller in vbox. It's all software. [19:56] hello caty [19:56] OK, I am behind a router. I was just wondering. [19:56] meshuggah_, hey [19:56] my dvd player stopped auto mounting? [19:57] DasEi1. I've restarted the Freenas vm and it is moaning about the RAID1 array being degraded so it's rebuilding it now (after I had to force a removal of the "missing" drive then re-add it) [19:57] xnmrph: so I have no clue then, if restarting hal or reboot doesn't change, file a bug ? [19:57] hey [19:57] can anyone help me with ubuntu a ran into a problem ?

[19:57] DasEi1, What is HAL and how would I restart it? Is that some kind of automounting daemon? [19:57] geto: you should run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade this will give you full updates [19:58] xnmrph: I can only guess there on your setup, so I'll stop it; HAL= hardware abstraction layer [19:58] !hal [19:58] For an informative description of the Hardware Abstraction Layer , go to this site : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer [19:58] media playter lets me play cd's, but not dvds [19:58] RAMco: 1. Users can compile 2. You should NOT use sudo su [19:58] DasEi1, OK, that's strange. One of the virtual HDDs has not gone missing. I give up ;-) [19:58] Yea, I have updated a lot. [19:58] mib_p50jee9q: have you got libdvdcss2 installed [19:58] now = not [19:59] is that a codec addon? [19:59] or, how can i check? [19:59] xnmrph: just little bit harder.. O:-) [19:59] mib_p50jee9q: libdvdcss2 is aviable in Medibuntu repository [20:00] !medibuntu | mib_p50jee9q [20:00] mib_p50jee9q: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [20:00] DasEi1: Moral of the story? Don't try to build a virtual Freenas system with software RAID1 on Virtualbox in Ubuntu. [20:00] mib_p50jee9q: it is used to play comercial dvd¿s [20:00] I have a linux box. When I log into the box remotely, I want to run a script, but only from remote locations (ie. not when I login at the box itself). Are there environment variables I can use, or some program that will query if I'm looging in remotely or not? [20:01] xnmrph: or ask, learn more checks, repair acces and read the nice manual, find out where that raid-info gets stored [20:01] oh yes, i did download that [20:01] ubottu: do u know how 2 run php file at ubuntu i had installed php in my pc [20:01] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:01] ActionParsnip, ok i will try [20:01] purvesh: php maybe [20:01] my dvd player stopped auto mounting? [20:01] RAMco: sudo su is not advised in ubuntu, if you use sudo -i you will get better results [20:01] DasEi1, I can't be arsed ;-) I've spent enough time on this already. [20:01] ActionParsnip: ya [20:02] dmonkey17: check for existence of $SSH_CLIENT or $SSH_CONNECTION or $SSH_TTY [20:03] ActionParsnip, thanks i used sudo -i and i did not get the error [20:03] ActionParsnip, whats the diff between sudo su and sudo -i [20:03] When they release 8.04.3 point release what are the chances of having the same hardware support as 8.10 as far as sound cards etc go? Will they add a new kernel or anything? [20:03] RAMco: ubuntu is made to NOT use the root accout, the fact that yours is disabled reduces the security of your system [20:03] *enabled [20:04] xnmrph: anyway, I'd rather check to have 0 or 1 on one hd (partis) and also in a multi-environment usee uuid in the vm's, as vbox also comunnicates with the host OS, somwhwere there [20:04] Oh I should have mentioned that I login using a XDMCP protocol.

Anyone knows a good solution? [20:05] xnmrph: I leave that now, as I can't help further [20:05] DasEi1: What do you mean? I'm a little bit at the mercy of Freenas since it's all web interface controlled. What it decides to do is it's business. I just provide the virtual HDDs and point it to them. It should just work [20:05] hey I'm trying to install something, and the instructions say "Build librtm first, then rtm-dataengine and finally the plasmoid." ...how do I build something?

[20:48] uba: all data is still written as blocks though. [20:49] uba: the journal is data too :) [20:49] so anyway Chousuke your saying for sure [20:49] dust, they only work if the sound is recorded as 5:1 [20:49] Aranwe: Yay, it works now. :) [20:49] Thank you. [20:49] that it'd have to reformat to get the advantages [20:49] @uba no reformat necessary [20:49] uba: yeah. At least, I'm quite sure you can't use extents without reformatting. [20:49] uba: just some sort of fschk [20:49] uba: but you can still mount an ext3 partition as ext4 and get some advantages. [20:50] Somebody faced a deenergizing problem ubuntu on laptops?

[20:56] but as a user only [20:57] freeland you can, you need to change the permissions of the root account.

[20:58] hehe [20:58] !root | freeland [20:58]  freeland: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:58] i have a question regarding screen resolutions if anyone can help [20:58] Thank you. [20:58] wrektjet, if your dual booting you can just mount the windows partitions [20:58] !anyone | kwyatt [20:58]  kwyatt: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [20:58] i wish you could use a root account; instead i have to type my password like five times every minute :( [20:59] wrekjet....you should be able to mount windows and get your files [20:59] Are there any X11 replacements? [20:59] Zopiac...lol its like windows vista UAC [20:59] guntbert: yes... my friends has installed also windows vista and he see 4GB! [20:59] mattgyver - but while im on the ubuntu os i cant get to those files? [21:00] wrektjet> as long as you DON'T format the partitions with windows files you can access them from linux [21:00] wrektjet, yes you can. You have to mount the specific partition the files are located on [21:00] uba: UAC is new... su/sudo has been around in *nix forever [21:00] Does anyone know why in the ubuntu live cd i can select higher than native resolution but after installing ubuntu onto hdd i can only select up to 1280x800 - is there anyway to use a virtual resolution or force higher resolution? [21:00] wrektjet: yes, you can mount windows partitions from inside Ubuntu [21:00] best is to use ntfs-3g for that. [21:00] it's like itself, not like uac [21:00] Zopiac: sudo -i will give you an interactive sudo session [21:00] Zopiac: you are using sudo - right? then you should need the password only once (it stays valid ~ 5 minutes) [21:00] holo-the-wise, change the permissions of the root account ? [21:00] anyone have a help doc on that? [21:00] yoasif thanks for the update...but i was saying they can be equally annoying [21:00] guntbert: isnt that only for the terminal? [21:01] kwyatt> yes, hand editting xorg.conf [21:01] is it possible to watch the output of an active, running terminal from an external client, say, an ssh terminal? [21:01] What is the file browser called in Ubuntu 8.10? (Nautilus?) [21:01] yes [21:01] jmulloy> yes [21:01] jmulloy yes thats it [21:01] Zopiac: ah, I misinterpreted, for a GUI you use gksudo, works alike [21:01] Thank you! [21:01] lowercase tho if you run it in the terminal [21:01] uba: not really, gksu comes up a lot less than uac does in vista [21:02] !gksudo | Zopiac [21:02] Zopiac: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [21:02] In ssh.conf you can allow administrator logins freeland [21:02] jmulloy: nautilus for GNOME === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak [21:02] Is there a way to set bookmarks for all users in Nautilus? [21:02] yoasif yes, i understand that im saying at times it can be annoying [21:03] thank you the problem is solved thanks a lot [21:03] Aranwe, mattgyver , gartral: do know of a doc on that? also would the option "Automatic partitioning [21:03] 1. Choose the First Option (It should be something like: "Resize IDE1 master, partition #1 (hda1) and use freed space"). " be the correct route or would i need to manually resize [21:03] throughput: ok, it was just a quick question. Please talk to the channel again, I'm not good with hardware problems :-) [21:04] check that i found it [21:04] wrektjet> if you selected resize hda1 than it should be fine :) [21:05] ok, the bios see 4gb but... ubuntu no... i can post some particular lines of my dmesg [21:05] Hey all, I have a quick question. I'm trying to format my partition as HFS+ and it seems to not be highlighted. Is there another program that I can use that will do it? Or something different?

[22:40] lesbranton: yea, doesnt happen in win :( [22:40] abicska, first explain the situation further. Is the server a desktop install? What type of network is it in? [22:40] leeguy92: hmm... what program does he use to play the mp3 files with? [22:40] I can still use OpenVPn to connect to a pay- based vpn such as blacklogic.com right? Or am i suppose to download Cisco VPN? [22:40] elarrarte, you could find out what the make/model of the drive is and search for a fix if there is one [22:41] abicska, well the second question isn't really important. The point is, what version of ubuntu do you have, and is it the server version? [22:41] lesbranton: exaile [22:41] elarrarte hardy sucks upgrade to Ibex...is all i can suggest [22:41] when he gets back, hes gonna try "listen" [22:42] in case it's exaile being a little heavy on the old cpu [22:42] uba: but hardy not suppose to be a LTS !!!! what kind of LTS is then? [22:42] which is a celeron clocked at 650MHz [22:42] jdu: ive the 8.10 ubuntu server on my pc this is the server and its directly connected to an ubuntu linux laptop and with an other network card it is connected to my dorm's network where the internet is coming from and the osx computer is on the dorm's network [22:43] leeguy92: has the lastest program update for exaile... has he tried any other programs? [22:43] whats a good filesystem setup that handles permissions and windows computers can read it without installing special software? [22:43] lesbranton: no, he hasnt. [22:43] i moved to ibex to give it a try ... but now ... ibex does not move well with flash contents .. hardy does ... :-$ [22:43] elerrarte a very hassly one. [22:43] no internets to dl new programs until friday [22:43] i just wanted to know, is theres some kind of common cause for this? [22:43] odinsbane: only fat32 honestly if you need windows to read it. of course ntfs will work as well but neither really have permissions support in the sense i think of it [22:43] abicska, ok when you installed the server, did you select cups? If not, you will want to run: sudo apt-get install cups on the server [22:44] elarrarte what flash contents were you trying to move? [22:44] How do i check if i run qt3 or 4 ? [22:44] Should I let dpkg do this? http://rafb.net/p/kfJtFr43.html [22:44] leeguy: tip him to move to the folder that the music file is (in terminal) and type mplayer MUSICFILE.mp3 [22:44] jdu: cups is installed on the server :) [22:44] flash 10 + firefox + intel x3100 + ibex = sucks [22:44] pepperjack: everything I put on an ntfs file system I get back with all permissions set. [22:44] flash 10 + firefox + intel x3100 + hardy = ok [22:44] abicska, good. Can you access the web interface?

[22:46] uba: im using arora on 9.04 it is quick [22:46] i see that the lastests versions of ubuntu are not well stable ... the hurry too much over each release [22:46] <_5w155> anybody from Poland?

[22:46] lesbranton: chromIUM does [22:46] !arora [22:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about arora [22:47] lesbranton as far as i know no official build is out for linux [22:47] but basic chromium isnt as developed as google's distro of it [22:47] I have a mouse button click delay in 8.04. Have this been fixed? I didn't have any luck with google [22:47] jdu: cuz the ubuntu server has no browser [22:47] no flash support for example [22:47] lesbranton but there is a bootlegg way you can get it to run [22:47] abicska, it has w3m [22:47] but apparently they are working on that [22:47] jdu: what is w3m? [22:47] jdu:w3m is a browser? [22:47] abicska, I think. You could login with ssh and use w3m [22:48] uba: is it better than firefox? [22:48] thiebaude so explain this arora [22:48] abicska, w3m http://localhost:631 yes [22:48] jdu: lookin :) [22:48] lesbranton: http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/14058/ [22:48] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/arora-cross-platform-webkit-browser-in-ubuntu.html, uba [22:48] abicska, it's text based [22:48] apparently they nearly have the plugins sorted [22:48] <_5w155> chromium is faster the FF [22:48] ff is soo slow [22:48] <_5w155> then* [22:49] is chromium built on the webkit browser? [22:49] thiebaude: slower than IE7? [22:49] odinsbane: yes [22:49] abicska, from the admin tab, you can enable remote administration [22:49] leeguy92: yes [22:49] Does anyone know of a good text replacer for ubuntu? ie I type rofl then press a binded key and it converts rofl to Rolling On the Floor Laughing. [22:49] chromium compiles javascript to machine code :D [22:49] <_5w155> leeguy -- much more slower then IE ;-) [22:49] abicska, w3m http://localhost:631 [22:49] jdu: w3m works and i can open localhost. lookin for administration [22:49] _5w155: imxp, that is not the case [22:49] hi, I'm using bamboo-zen theme, but I don't like the fore color of selected text (back color is light green and fore color is white). it's not readable. how can I change that? [22:49] maxthon is a version of ie that has really good performance. [22:49] posiedon you mean pidgin? [22:49] thiebaude: takes a long time to load FF. [22:49] firefox still zips along compared to IE7 [22:50] arora using qt 4.4 [22:50] Can anyone tell me if it's possible to change the default icon for a particular file type? I know how to change individual file icons but would like to do it for, say, all .txt files etc. [22:50] firefox loads quicker in *nix, i find [22:50] FF sucks in Ubuntu [22:50] can someone tell me the name of the configfile, where the mouse driver is loaded in X? [22:50] lesbranton: 6 sec or so on high speed internet [22:50] <_5w155> leeguy92: speed is not the case?

[23:01] uba: xchat-gnome [23:01] uba: Xchat is popular, but I use Konversation, that puts on KDE stuff though [23:01] uba: there irssi for the terminal, and chatzilla as a Firefox add on [23:01] irssi works well though I am not using it right now === unitedp0tsmokers is now known as unitedpotsmokers [23:01] jdu: pfuhh... something went wrong bcuz it says cups failed to start [23:01] jdu: lookin in the logs [23:02] Xchat sounds like it might be good... [23:02] uba: Konversation :) [23:02] lemme go look for the package...cuz my metered internet on my laptop just ran out [23:02] uba: ,but it will put on KDE stuff, unless you already got installed [23:02] abicska, ok. well you might just try purging cups and then reinstalling it. [23:02] sebsebseb I dont think i have KDE installed [23:02] jdu: the error log says: Unable to bind socket for address 127.0.0.1:631 - Address already in use. [23:02] jdu: how can i do it? [23:03] uba: don't need the whole of KDE installed, to run many of it's apps in Gnome [23:03] this is going to be interesting. currently upgrading a 7.10 system to 8.04, which will then go to 8.10, and then to 9.04 [23:03] jdu: apt-get install cups [23:03] jdu: how to remove it?:) [23:03] abicska, really. is cups already running once? Try: apt-get purge cups firestn [23:03] Gnea: well you got to clean install for full Ext4 suppourt in 9.04 [23:03] *first [23:03] Gnea: ,but can do something to Ext3 for partial [23:03] abicska, purge will remove everything including config files [23:03] sebsebseb: only if I want to format the / as ext4, right? [23:04] Gnea: unless your going to have Ext4, probably not that much point in 9.04 [23:04] sebsebseb oh really...well i dont have internet on my ubuntu laptop right now [23:04] whats the difference between ext3 and ext4? [23:04] jdu: its downloading [23:04] hi I have two monitors with two xscreens using nvidia-config. when I only have mouse and kb activity in the right monitor, both of them dim and go to sleep. only activity in the left monitor is recognized to wake it up. how can I fix this please? [23:04] Knirgh ext4 is supposed to be faster [23:04] Knirgh, primarilly ext4 uses extents whereas ext3 uses blocks [23:04] abicska, ok === felix_da_catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [23:05] sebsebseb: well, I'm going to get it working stable, then worry about ext4. I'm sure I can convert my / from ext3 to ext4 without having to install from the get-go :) [23:05] what folder do i delete to completely erase kdenlive settings [23:05] Gnea: yeah, but it won't be 100% full Ext4 [23:05] how can I edit a theme? [23:05] sebsebseb: not if I do it my way [23:05] Gnea: something to do with files etc like the old files are Ext3, and the new files are Ext4 [23:05] Gnea: what's your way? [23:06] sebsebseb: it doesn't work like that - files are files, they don't care [23:06] sebsebseb: make a backup, reformat, copy the files back over ;) [23:06] meoblast001: .kde/share/config/kden* maybe [23:06] Gnea are you sure that will work [23:06] Gnea: 8.04 is pretty nice, and yeah the long term suppourt release, unlike 8.10 and 9.04 [23:06] uba: why wouldn't it? [23:06] see you [23:06] jdu: i did smthg very very wrong bcuz cups cant start [23:07] abicska, what is the error? [23:07] sebsebseb: uhm, 9.04 isn't an LTS release? [23:07] what is the ubuntulooks theme engine [23:07] Gnea I dont know I was just asking? cuz that was my plan...but ppl were saying it was a no-go. [23:07] Gnea: correct, 9.04 is not LTS [23:07] abicska, you purged it, installed it, and ? [23:07] pepperjack: thanks [23:07] sebsebseb: interesting. oh well. [23:07] sebsebseb: I am runnuning the 8.04 LTS release [23:07] uba: I haven't actually done it yet with 9.04, so I can't say for sure. [23:07] Gnea: 9.04 is not that great either, some under the hood stuff though, it's got arm in there [23:08] I've somehow managed to completely break anonymous samba shares (without doing anything AFAIK). I can only log in from a windows box when I give my ubuntu user/pass. How do I revert that? [23:08] Gnea: new version of Gnome, new default log in screen, and that's about it. [23:08] sebsebseb: well, it's a system that I haven't run in a long time (just put a new PSU in it yesterday) so I don't care which way it goes :) [23:08] jdu: ive purged it reinstalled and it says when im trying to start it: cupsd: Child exited with status 1! and the error log says port 631 is already takenj [23:08] Gnea: and Ext4 yeah [23:08] I've been having random (all though rare) hard lock ups after installing ubuntu 9.04 with / as ext4. Is this from the new file system or running the RC of ubuntu? [23:08] Gnea, as I understand it, files that were originally made with ext3 will be transparently left as though they were ext3 even after an ext4 upgrade. The difference in upgrade will only come with new files. [23:08] uba, I thought pidgin was an im client? [23:08] hi, I'm having a bit of an issue upgrading xulrunner. Dpkg hangs at "Setting up". It affects no other package but xulrunner and affects multiple versiond from different repos... so I'm thinking its an issue on my system. Anyone have any ideas? [23:09] sebsebseb: I couldn't care less about gnome, as I'll be using it to compile the latest E [23:09] Gnea ok cool [23:09] jdu: which is why I would copy them to a backup medium, then copy them back to the new ext4. [23:09] TopBunny88: my upgraded from 8.10 to alpha6, to beta, to rc, well I some issues after the upgrade from 8.10, as expected, but those issues never got fixed when upgrading. so I am preperaring my computer for a nice clean install of 9.04 once the final is out, and I do Ext4 yeah [23:09] of course, the backup medium would be ext4 [23:09] TopBunny88: glad I never upgraded the family computer to 8.10 though [23:09] TopBunny88: glad that's still running hardy [23:10] the main feature of ext4 that will only apply to new files is extents... don't bother about it [23:10] Gnea, so that is your way. will work [23:10] TopBunny88: ,because it's mainly my little brother that uses Ubuntu on there, parants locked into XP. and my little brother only wants to play games pretty much. so upgrade to 8.10 wasn't really worth it, and that's got about a year of suppourt. and what I have seen of 9.04 isn't worth it, in this case either. so yes glad it's still running 8.04 [23:11] i'd like to add another WM at same time, is it possible to have like gnome and KDE up at same time? [23:11] abicska, I would suggest googling on that. I have to go. Basically, once you get that working, enable sharing from the web interface then, from the other computers, enter http://ipaddress:631/printers/PrinterName [23:11] jdu: excellent [23:11] so if I install 9.04 as a clean install what should i backup in my current install to make sure all my programs and deb packages stay the same..and maybe some configuration setting also? [23:12] Knirgh, yes, on different displays [23:12] jdu: thank for your help!! good bye :) [23:12] jdu: can you remind of that command? i remember seeing it somewhere [23:12] * cros13 ctrl-c's another hung xulrunner install script.... :( [23:12] uba: you can backup your Firefox profile. the .mozilla folder in home [23:13] Knirgh, I have to go. but there are multiple one way is to switch to a virtual terminal and use xinit to create a new session [23:13] uba: ,but unless you got some really fancy setup with scripts and I don't know what, I would recommend pretty much just starting over :) [23:13] !netsplit [23:13] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [23:13] jdu: ok thanks, xinit was the thing i saw [23:14] sebsebseb you see the problem is I pay for my bandwith and I really dont want to have download everything once again [23:14] how do i change which sound devices volume gets changed when i use the multimedia keys on my keyboard? [23:14] uba: your on 8.10 yes? [23:14] in face alot of stuff I dont even remember what i've downloaded [23:14] at the moment it's changing the alsa one, not the pulse audio [23:14] sebsebseb yes im using 8.10 [23:14] I think I just felt a great disturbance in the force. [23:14] uba: dpkg -l lists programs you have installed. 9.04 is not really worth it, except for Ext4 [23:14] i changed volume applet->preferences [23:14] uba: for most people [23:15] uba: youll need to since all the packages will be diff. you wont be able to use the /var/cache/ deb files in upgraded version [23:15] but that doesn't seem to affect the multimedia keys stuff [23:15] hello... i have ubuntu studio installed, should i download Ubuntu 9.04 or something? [23:15] will it self-upgrade to 9.04 ? [23:15] sickcows: yes [23:15] sebsebseb thanks for that command I'll definitely use it [23:15] newer is not always better, 8.10 and 8.04, have certain advantages over 9.04 [23:16] and with Ubuntu, it's not so much about what is new, it's about what is supported still [23:16] yes, like i should download it, or yes it will self-upgrade? :D [23:16] Can anyone tell me if it's possible to change the default icon for a particular file type? I know how to change individual file icons but would like to do it for, say, all .txt files etc. [23:16] My apt-get update suddenly stopped working, says W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 8AD328D8A58BCAE3 [23:16] sickcows: upgrade is really pretty trivial [23:16] i like shiny objects... and beta code :) [23:16] !upgrade > sickcows [23:16] sickcows, please see my private message === mquin_ is now known as mquin [23:17] ok, thanx [23:17] uba: you get my PM? [23:18] sebsebseb negative....its probrably cuz right now im using a web-based irc called mibbit [23:18] uba: yeah I noticed in your hostname, that your on something rubbish [23:18] sebsebseb as i said before i have no internet on my personal laptop [23:18] sebsebseb lol [23:18] Heya! Trying to get audio over hdmi to work on my hp9665eo laptop, it's ALC268, I've used a great script to upgrade to 1.0.19 aswell as getting the latest driver snap. Still don't see any HDMI or digital stuff in aplay -l or -L . any ideas? can't find a matching model to enter into /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [23:18] uba: the only major improvement with 9.04 is Ext4, everything else is just minor improvements here and there, for example a new log in screen, and a newer version of Gnome [23:18] sebsebseb are you from England [23:19] what package do I need to install to give sox coreaudio support? or do I need to roll my own? [23:19] uba: plus how they removed shutdown and logout from the system menu, well I don't even consider that an improvement. yeah since fast user account switcher. I don't want to go off topic to much about that here though [23:19] sebsebseb so basically a beauty tweak [23:20] uba: so basically 9.04 is pretty pointless, unless going to have Ext4 [23:20] uba: or want fading backgrounds when changing the backgrounds and stuff like that [23:21] sebsebseb so damn i guess i might wait...on the upgrade but hey maybe ill try out the livecd [23:22] sebsebseb, newer releases also have the advantage of being supported, and more features in the packages, and many bugfixes [23:22] frostburn: sure, but 8.04 is long term suppourt, 8.10 and 9.04 will stop being suppourted, when 8.04 is still suppourted [23:22] sebsebseb but 8.04 was garbage for me.... [23:22] are dual video card (switchable) laptops fully supported in ubuntu? [23:23] uba: ok well, you will probably find that really 9.04 isn't much of an improvement for you over 8.10, unless you do Ext4 [23:23] sebsebseb but nah you've already conviced me not to install it [23:23] is there a subtitute for automatix, now that it's the first time i format my pc since 5.10 [23:23] sebsebseb, mysql and php are both updated [23:23] sebsebseb: if you do ext4 do you have to reformat. [23:23] uba: I didn't say not to install [23:24] sebsebseb i know you didnt explicitly say that...but your arguments were pretty persuasive [23:24] uba: I am just saying you may not really get any benefits from 9.04, unless... I don't want to repeate myself agian [23:24] dassouki, Automatix is not necessary and was horrible when it existed. [23:24] hi [23:24] sebsebseb so the only way ill install it now is if i truly enjoy the benefits thru the livecd first [23:24] (excuse me for my langiage i'm french) [23:24] how do i find out what processor i have [23:24] but i need help, i try to install ubuntu [23:25] is 9.04 released today ? [23:25] 2 days [23:25] bonhoffer, cat /proc/cpuinfo [23:25] and i have a GRUB error at the boot [23:25] Can anyone tell me if it's possible to change the default icon for a particular file type? I know how to change individual file icons but would like to do it for, say, all .txt files etc. [23:25] 23rd [23:25] in 2 days ? [23:25] lesbranton: well there is a way to get partial suppourt for Ext3, but yes best to clean install and set up proper Ext4 partitions, for that file system [23:25] frostburn, thanks [23:25] Jordan_U: any recommended installs now that i just installed 8.10 ? such as codecs ? and all that good stuff [23:25] anyone can help me with grub ? [23:25] uba: thing is with 8.10, that will stop being suppourted, when 8.04 and 9.04 are still being suppourted [23:26] frefre, post your grub error and then people can troubleshoot [23:26] i need a blazingly fast way to delete certain words from a large corpus of texts... I'm currently using sed. Does anyone know if there is a faster tool that I should be using? [23:26] sebsebseb: I am pretty much a clean install right now anyways... except I spent a few hours getting my sound to work. [23:26] it's an error 17 [23:26] maodun, sed is probably the fastest tool out there [23:26] sebsebseb really i didnt know that...although i prolyl shoud've i read that somewhre [23:26] lesbranton: 9.04 RC clean install with Ext4? [23:26] uba: yes 8.10 October 2008 [23:26] the partition is there but it's impossible to boot it [23:26] sebsebseb damn it now you got me scare lol.....:D [23:27] frostburn - ok, thanks [23:27] dassouki, The package ubuntu-restricted-extras will get you all of the major codecs except libdvdcss for legal reasons, and flash java and some other proprietary goodness [23:27] uba: non LTS releases get a year and a half suppourt on the desktop, where as LTS gets 3 years [23:27] i've two hard drive one on XP and the other one on ubuntu [23:27] dassouki you might also want to install peazip [23:27] also, is jaunty coming out on thursday? [23:27] sebsebseb: LTS? [23:27] thank u [23:27] can you brun a 700meg live cd iso to a dvd? [23:27] maodun: I think so [23:27] will it boot? [23:27] lesbranton: Long Term Support [23:27] cool, thanks [23:28] maodun: yep, and I am looking foward to being in here, when people are wondering how to shut it down and logout, because they removed that from the system menu, it will make my day, if someone asks [23:28] sebsebseb yea i understand that jive..but thing is 8.04 sucks for me and 8.10 rocks my socks...so thats a dilemma [23:28] yeah it will manpoole i just did it [23:28] ^ [23:28] frefre, check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 might help you, otherwise check out the documentation on the gentoo site for grub http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gentoo.org%2Fdoc%2Fen%2Fhandbook%2Fhandbook-x86.xml%3Fpart%3D1%26chap%3D10&ei=__bsSYn2I5j4McHUgeoF&usg=AFQjCNEszkn5b_pnF6Z4ax_pMCo_12WrIw&sig2=vpD7WeZcOLbp_LoiCXHk2g [23:28] sweet cdrs are so 90's lol [23:28] frostburn what distro? [23:28] manpoole, just boot to usb cd [23:29] what's that? [23:29] dassouki also VLC and a browser of you choice if FF aint happening [23:29] oh i mean frefre [23:29] I think I will wait a bit for them to finish working out the bugs of 9.04 before I install. [23:29] I just ran chkrootkit, and I got "Checking `bindshell'... INFECTED (PORTS: 6667)". How concerned should I be? [23:29] manpoole, http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html [23:29] uba: I have used Ubuntu since the second release in 2005, I have seen this distro improve here and there, but also go a bit bad here and there [23:29] Possibly OT question for the channel... In Ubuntu, to sync to an iPod (Nano 4G or Classic 80 GB), will I be required to replace the firmware on the device or will Amarok (or another app) be able to sync music to it without modifying the firmware? [23:29] brasero burned the cd fine [23:29] now it is a question of booting [23:29] TheTurtleMoves, 6667 is irc... [23:29] or should i say dvd [23:30] I know... [23:30] TheTurtleMoves: it may be a good idea to double-check with rkhunter [23:30] uba: i got vlc , i guess there were also some fonts installed in automatix and mp3 support and all that stuff. i'm installing ubuntu...extras now , and peazip, what does livdcss do [23:30] I wasn't running an IRC client at the time. [23:30] chkroot [23:30] lstarnes, OK. [23:30] Huufarted, IIRC everything below ipod touch / iphone work with the default firmware [23:30] both work fine [23:30] brbr going to try out openSUSE [23:30] sebsebseb Cool. So you're very knowledgeable on this. You've given me alot to think about [23:30] quick question, how do i change the number of workspaces i have from 2 to 4 [23:31] uba: and tried 9.04 early etc, and as a result I am not really sure if I can tell loads of people to upgrade 8.10 to it yet. I guess if people get say a wireless issue in 8.10 they can try 9.04 instead, 9.04 is meant to have better suppourt for atheros wireless's I read [23:31] dassouki libdvdcss is supposed to allow you to watch encrypted commercial DVDs [23:31] Jordan_U: thank you. :) Do you know of a resource on a page somewhere that could possibly confirm this? The reason I ask is I'm buying a Nano 4G for my niece when I go to visit her this summer, but the laptop I'm taking has my music and is Ubuntu. I want to make sure I can load it up for her. [23:31] sebsebseb: this is why I'm waiting for the formal release before making any such recommendation [23:31] Gnea: same here [23:31] uba: ah thanks, i'll install it, i don't watch movies anyway but i'll do it just incase i get a demo or something [23:31] Gnea: and for me to do my nice clean install with Ext4 :) [23:32] lol [23:32] another question. i have windows software taht doesn't work on wine, will it work on vmware ? [23:32] Gnea: before I start recommending people to upgrade or not, more properly [23:32] !ipod | Huufarted [23:32] Huufarted: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [23:32] sebsebseb: sounds like a plan :) [23:32] Gnea: my upgrades from 8.10 to alpha6 went bad [23:32] Jordan_U: thanks. :) I appreciate that [23:32] Gnea: issues remained [23:32] Huufarted, np :) [23:32] sebsebseb cool smart on your half...and yes good lokking on the wireless that was one of my main problems with 8.04 install had i not upgraded too 8.10 id prolly still be in vista [23:32] VISTA? OMG! [23:33] HeHe! [23:33] uba: ,but with Ext3 and what I have seen of 9.04 it hardly seems worth it [23:33] dassouki i dont know if you have a mp3 that plays ogg format but if you do you can save space by converting to ogg with Sound Converter [23:33] uba: i'm part of the corporation, i own an ipod [23:34] sebsebseb ok thanks for the info [23:34] i use gtkpod [23:34] dassouki, Anything that runs on windows but doesn't require accelerated 3D ( and some things that do ) will run on windows in VMware [23:34] dassouki lol...and you dont have rockbox? [23:34] uba: ,but I have heard and read reviews for Ext4, it's meant to be much better than Ext3 [23:34] uba: no i'm happy with gtkpod [23:34] uba: well that is if the issues are properly fixed now in Ubuntu, which they seem to be now [23:34] i've been using it for a few years [23:34] can someone help me to configure GRUB please ? [23:35] it's probably not much [23:35] frefre, What problem are you having? [23:35] !ask | frefre [23:35] frefre: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:35] but i can't find what is wrong [23:35] hello, how can i put a low-latency kernel in ubuntu intrepid 8.1? [23:35] i install ubuntu 8.04.2 today on a second hard drive [23:35] dassouki if you have a big music collection.... you can use EasyTag to auto-get the names from the internet [23:35] and since when i boot GRUB make an error 17 [23:35] Cyberamigo: it's Ubuntu, people don't tend to install their own kernel [23:36] OK, so rkhunter gave me nothing, and chrootkit says bindshell is infected. [23:36] where can i find more information?debian? [23:36] uba: no mostly podcasts and audible.com stuff [23:36] !Debian | Cyberamigo [23:36] Cyberamigo: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [23:36] ok === J4ck|-|3rr3R is now known as J4ckHerreR [23:37] dassouki what exactly is audible suppose to be i see it came supported on my sansa but i dont know what iti is? [23:37] hey.. im about to reformat my hdd, and install ubuntu.. i was just wondering though.. what would be appropriate sizes for the /boot and / partitions? [23:37] Cyberamigo: not even sure what type of kernel your wanting to install, but why would you want to anyway? [23:37] uba audible is a website that sells audio books [23:37] uba: perfect for an hour or run [23:37] TheTurtleMoves: are you running an IRC server? [23:37] Justin_: may I recommend waiting till Thursday, and getting 9.04 and putting that on with Ext4 file system? [23:38] Huufarted, no. I'm running xchat. That's all. [23:38] TheTurtleMoves: type this, give us the results: netstat -an | grep 6667 [23:38] i am putting 9.04 on [23:38] dassouki as much as i download books off bt i dont even have time to read em alot of the time [23:38] hello all [23:38] Justin_: that would mean you would have to set up your partitions yourself, for Ext4, since by default it's Ext3 [23:38] dassouki so i doubt i can listen to them [23:38] Justin_: hummm the RC, well sure you can upgrade to the final anyway [23:38] yes.. i know how to set up the partitions, and use ext4 === J4ckHerreR is now known as J4ck|-|ErreR [23:38] uba: if u use a treadmill, u'll get through an encyclopedia within a week [23:38] Huufarted, "tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:6667 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN " [23:39] "tcp 0 0 128.84.178.211:48419 63.243.153.244:6667 ESTABLISHED" [23:39] im just going to do a command line install with the alternate disc, then apt-get install the components of the OS i want [23:39] Justin_: for any Ubuntu install I would do like. 16GB for / 1GB SWAP. and a big seperate home partition [23:39] can someone here give me an idea what LinuxMint is all about? If it's a distro worth using since it base on Ubuntu. [23:39] what about /boot? [23:39] 100 or 200mb for that? [23:39] Justin_: I don't have a /boot partition [23:39] Justin_: never had the need for a /boot [23:39] really? why not? [23:39] Huufarted, never mind. I figured it out. [23:39] frefre, What version of Ubuntu? [23:39] aah [23:39] Justin_ , 100 its enough [23:39] Justin_: ,because on the desktop CD, /boot goes into / [23:39] 8.04.2 [23:39] TheTurtleMoves: what was it? [23:39] Justin_: just like /home goes into / unless you make your own partition [23:40] dassouki nah its more like its cuz im deployed and we work long hours...i [23:40] well i was thinking of making /boot its own partition but if there really is no benefit, i might as well make it part of / [23:40] Huufarted, I _am_ running an IRC server. I was playing around with tircd a while ago, and put it to start automatically on boot. [23:40] Forgot about it completely :D [23:40] i was thinking 15-20gb /, and the rest of my 160gb hdd will be /home [23:40] Jordan_U: i made a query with you answer me their please [23:40] Justin_: 20GB is rather big for / [23:41] TheTurtleMoves: there's the issue. :) It's being detected as a security threat or as a zombie master. [23:41] Justin_: Linux programs hardly take up any space, as a result even 16GB is pretty big [23:41] can someone here give me an idea what LinuxMint is all about? If it's a distro worth using since it base on Ubuntu. [23:41] etzerd: of course [23:41] etzerd: there was a good review recently [23:41] yeah.. but the problem is.. i like a lot of KDE apps, but i prefer the gnome desktop, so i end up with a ton of libs [23:41] Huufarted :D [23:41] etzerd: hold on I should be able to find it again [23:41] !mint | etzerd [23:41] etzerd: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce) [23:41] TheTurtleMoves: we've all been there! If you want to get rid of it COMPLETELY: sudo apt-get purge tircd [23:41] uba: same here [23:41] Justin_, /boot=100Mo, /=10_15Go, SWAP=doubleYourMemoryRam,/home=less [23:42] any civil engineers in the house ? recommended civil engineering software [23:42] sebsebseb: the reason that I asked I heard a lot about it. the reason for is because it's base on ubuntu. [23:42] Desktop effects stopped working after updating [23:42] Justin_ , its a simple partition configuration to start with linux ;-) [23:42] i was wondering if there was a way to go to a network drive that isnt shown on the network but is pysically there ... because my ubuntu 8.10 machine randomly decides not to see my windows machine on the network in places/network [23:42] etzerd: like GOS they are good distros, but I would recommend using proper Ubuntu [23:42] Huufarted, It's a perl script I manually installed. Removed it by deleting the script. Thanks! [23:42] dassouki: DIA It's very basic, but it works. [23:42] TheTurtleMoves: you will want to remove the reference in inetd or xinetd [23:42] hmm... so taking into consideration how i prefer the gnome desktop but KDE apps, and the number of libs ill be using (32-bit OS) how well will 10gb cut it for /? [23:43] im using an intel atom processor.. so 32 bits for me [23:43] tony__, ATI card? [23:43] Justin_: I have KDE and Gnome and yeah [23:43] Justin_: 16GB is fine for / [23:43] Justin_: or 15GB if you like [23:43] Justin_: Linux programs hardly take up any space [23:43] aah... damn it, but the OCD i am prefers things in multiples of 10 [23:43] mrwes Nvidia [23:43] Justin_: I use KDE and Gnome with a 50 GB / 8% used so far. [23:43] thanks sebsebseb. it seem like everything is out of the box. Thanks for the info. [23:43] hello everyone [23:43] Huufarted: any transportation / planning software that u are aware of ? [23:43] etzerd: I could find that review [23:43] would anyone know why this would happen to dolphin (and just dolphin) ? http://www.litetext.com/dwm4 [23:44] dassouki: dunno. I'm not a civeng [23:44] etzerd: ,but yes it comes with propritary stuff by default, and has some linuxmint changes to some programs [23:44] would i ever be able to resize my / partition, consuming space from /home? [23:44] etzerd: I want to try mint in a virtual machine :) once I am setup again nicely this time round with Ubuntu 9.04 and Ext4 file system [23:44] Justin_ ==> mine = 20 Go, i use 7Go looooool [23:44] mrwes: it worked fine until it updated [23:44] Justin_: yes. I like to use a LiveCD of 'gparted' to handle that. [23:44] any battery saving tips / articles / tutorials ? [23:44] Justin_: it does an incredible job of resizing partitions [23:45] so i guess ill start out with 10gb /, and if i really need more later on, i can use gparted to shrink and move /home to make room for more / [23:45] Justin_ : i dont think ... [23:45] Justin_: gparted will be able to resize it EASILY if you wanted [23:45] hmm? [23:46] Justin_ yeah, it's a real shame lvm2 is such a bear on ubuntu [23:46] sebsebseb: never heard about GOS [23:46] Justin_: It's just one partition of a couple on the hard drive, right? [23:46] oh ive performed tasks like that before [23:46] Justin_ : own risk when you move your home directory [23:46] dassouki: When running on battery power kepp your screen at 50 percent brightness [23:46] Hi! I'm trying to get audio over hdmi to work on my hp dv9500 (dv9656eo) laptop. it uses the realtek ALC268 codec. aplay -l and aplay -L only lists analog devices though, and no HDMI-stuff. I've updated to alsa 1.0.19 aswell as getting the latest driver snap. No hp-compliant model is listed under alc267/268 for setting up /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base any ideas? [23:46] id have to shrink /home by the amount of space i want to add to /, then move all those bits of the partition to the end of the hard drive, then resize the / partition to consume the free space created [23:47] Justin_: I moved my root, home, and swap in one gparted session multiple times and as long as you don't interrupted it while it's working, it will work just fine. It is a 'use at your own discretion' deal, but it will work just fine. [23:47] not actually moving the home directory, just the bits on the HDD to another part of the HDD [23:47] * regeya is doing that very thing on a debian box right now...thanks resize_reiserfs and lvm2! [23:47] i've a problem mounting/umounting an external hd. It seems that i need to be root to do this...how can i solve this problem? [23:47] so who creates /boot partitions, and why? whats the purpose? [23:47] etzerd: http://community.zdnet.co.uk/blog/0,1000000567,10012545o-2000498448b,00.htm [23:48] Justin_: that's where you kernel, grub file, and initrd reside. If you like to boot your computer, you'll keep /boot [23:48] Justin_: gparted will work for any of that you're trying to do. It is NOT restricted to normal Linux partitions, either. I've moved and resized NTFS as well [23:48] deuonderer: sudo ought to do the trick [23:48] regeya: lol [23:48] it'll be interesting if there is a way to setup a battery running mode [23:48] Justin_: if you have to ask what that partition is for, don't go mucking about with gparted [23:48] etzerd: Ubuntu is based on Debian one of the first distros, and now days quite a lot of distros are based on Ubuntu as well, because it got all popular, and it's good, Mint, GoogleOS etc [23:48] well poo [23:48] dassouki: there is. THe brightness turns down automatically, processor won't speed up, etc. [23:48] i know /boot holds the bootloader files, but what advantage is there to having them on their own partition? [23:48] chat1.ustream.tv [23:49] ive never used a seperate boot partition [23:49] are you kidding me? obviously is the solution,but all the times i need this hd i have to do this? [23:49] oups [23:49] etzerd: loads of distros out there, it's not just Ubuntu, Ubuntu, Ubuntu, and more Ubuntu. http://www.distrowatch.com is a good site for finding out about distros [23:49] so when i do the partition... which do i flag as bootable? /boot or /? [23:49] Justin_, / [23:49] Justin_: don't worry about putting /boot on its own partition. use / as the bootable partition [23:50] i am not kiddin g you du [23:50] Justin_: /boot is just REFERENCED when the system boots. /boot itself is not booting [23:50] i am not kiddin g you deuonderer [23:50] Hi, I have I small program in pascal in gedit, so how do I complile ? [23:50] i just want to know what the benefit of a /boot partition is? [23:50] if the kernal fails would i be able to reinstall just the kernal and bootloader and get my entire system back? [23:50] emerson__: maybe there's a #pascal well I know #programming exists [23:51] deuonderer, Do you have an entry in your fstab for this external drive? [23:51] okok but the solution you proposed is too annoying [23:51] deuonderer: type the first few letters of someones name, and press tab to autocomplete [23:51] lol,too annoying [23:51] yes in the fstab file there is the hd [23:51] can any1 help me with the googleearthlinux.bin ? [23:52] just installed but can not get it to work? [23:52] sebsebseb: it's has but not all of them runs ubuntu, so I want to know to do that on the terminal, I went there already [23:52] sebsebseb> ...and how could help this? [23:52] deuonderer: well it looks stupid when you got [23:52] seb-, [23:52] ops [23:53] hello sebsebseb [23:53] maximo: hi [23:53] need some help [23:53] sebseb , ok understood thanx =) [23:53] Hi! I'm trying to get audio over hdmi to work on my hp dv9500 (dv9656eo) laptop. it uses the realtek ALC268 codec. aplay -l and aplay -L only lists analog devices though, and no HDMI-stuff. I've updated to alsa 1.0.19 aswell as getting the latest driver snap. No hp-compliant model is listed under alc267/268 for setting up /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base any ideas? [23:53] deuonderer, If you remove that entry then you should not need to be root to mount the external drive, if you want the fstab entry there for some reason instead of relying on autodetection of external drives then add the option "user" to the fstab line and you will be able to mount it without being root [23:53] hi was wondering whther it is at all possible that my wireless dongle and my graphics card's io addresses or something could conlfict with eachother [23:53] Can anyone tell me if it's possible to change the default icon for a particular file type? I know how to change individual file icons but would like to do it for, say, all .txt files etc. [23:53] hi, if i install the ubuntu rc, because i really don't want to wait... how will i upgrade to the final once its released? [23:53] maximo: with? and I can't remember right now who you are even [23:53] sebsebseb: just installed the GoogleEarthlinux.bin [23:54] osubuck: by installing the updates [23:54] Which archive format is best for compressing images of a drive about 100gb worth of data with high compression? [23:54] sebsebseb: com'on ... [23:54] nick Nasra [23:54] sebsebseb: so i won't need to do any configuration? just install updates as usual? [23:54] hey... i dont even install full ubuntu.. so i doubt ill need more than 10gb anyway [23:54] Jordan_U, where do i have to add "user" in the line of hd? [23:54] osubuck it'll gradually catch up === maximo is now known as Nasra [23:54] maximo: why are you using a differnet name? [23:54] sebsebseb: hello [23:54] uba: if the images are high compression, then you won't archive them and save much space [23:54] How would you sort something in human readable order from the command line? e.g. so lecture1_2009.pdf appears before lecture10_2009.pdf? sort -n does not work. [23:55] sebsebseb: I have two nicks as a group === eugen is now known as Guest6037 [23:55] !fstab | deuonderer [23:55] deuonderer: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [23:55] Nasra: I didn't have much luck when I tried to install a .bin last time which was ages ago. it's only stupid propritary software for Linux that uses .bin, and I only want propritary software that has a proper purpouse in my Ubuntu really, such as Adobe Flash for example [23:55] Huufarted no they the files are still separate and i want to compress them at a very high level what archive format is best for that [23:55] so i can just install the RC and when the final comes out it will have the option to upgrade to it without me needing to do a special configuration? [23:55] Jordan_U, this is the hd's line UUID=4CD81219D812023E /media/Volume ntfs-3g defaults,nosuid,nodev,locale=it_IT.UTF-8 0 0 [23:55] hey how do i svn a certain revision number? [23:56] Nasra: why do the propritary software venders have to be differnet, why can't they provide debs or rpms or .tar.gz's like everyone else? [23:56] hi anyone there [23:56] Jordan_U, where do i have to put "user"? [23:56] deuonderer, If you look at the top of the fstab there is a comment showing which column is which, you want to add it to "options" [23:56] sebsebseb: You know that adobe will never port falsh to linux [23:56] uba, gotcha. I'd research '7zip' for that [23:56] deb-eater88: that was done ages ago, the player [23:56] !7zip [23:56] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [23:56] sebsebseb: you see I managed to installed in test pc but it does not want to start ...I put it in the /home/maximo/desktop....does not want to kicking perhasp you could get me started [23:57] deuonderer: UUID=4CD81219D812023E /media/Volume ntfs-3g defaults,nosuid,nodev,locale=it_IT.UTF-8,user 0 0 [23:57] huufarted ok... thanks thats what i thought [23:57] what it do ppl [23:57] Mo-Guns you must watch the boondocks? [23:57] someone knows how to launch vino server from bash? [23:57] yea [23:57] uba: it's VERY high compression, but it really sucks the CPU usage. A lot of files can take a LONG time to compress/decompress [23:57] hi how do i switch to kdm when i am using gdm? [23:57] Nasra: not for .bin's I still slightly wonder how to install myself lol you can ask in #linux and tell me how to do it :d as well. [23:57] dat where i got the nickname]\ [23:57] buzzDrive: at the login screen, click the 'options' in the lower-right corner [23:57] im using ubuntu 9.04 rc, is this the right irc ??
