[00:24] unop_ ah, i actually have a large set of stop words and my current solution is to pipe a series of seds together for each one, somewhat analogously to your solution. but it's too slow... would your solution perform much faster than the piping solution? [00:24] Wyt: well how about this :) wait untill Thursday and download Ubuntu 9.04. md5sum it and burn to a CD and install with Ext4 file system, when you set up your partitions yourself [00:24] I closed the thing that shows the icon of the programs that are running, like pidgin for example on the top panel.. now I don't know how to make it appear again.. does anyone can help me out? [00:24] !md5sum | Wyt [00:24] Wyt: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [00:24] cdubya: no [00:24] cdubya: and it's needed to play commercial DVD's [00:25] k [00:25] tales2010: the notification area. just right click on the panel and add it back [00:25] !find libdvdcss2 [00:25] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libdvdcss2&mode=&suite=intrepid&arch=any [00:25] maodun, yes, pipes introduce overheads that slow the whole thing down [00:25] !info libdvdcss2 [00:25] Package libdvdcss2 does not exist in intrepid [00:25] sebsebseb: its not in ubuntu [00:25] unop_: cool, thanks a lot [00:25] sebsebseb: its in medibuntu [00:25] histo: yeah didn't think it was [00:26] Jordan_U, i add the "s",but the output is the same as before [00:26] cdubya: you can install just that one package from medibuntu if you want. [00:27] histo: thank you [00:27] histo, v3 or 2? [00:27] deuonderer, It might not take effect until you unmount again ( as root ) or reboot. I am not really sure when changes to the fstab take effect [00:27] Jordan_U, ok see you soon [00:27] Wyt: still here? [00:28] Hello all!!! new linux user here with a few questions... [00:28] artman: ok just ask [00:28] bah [00:28] yes [00:28] Wyt: see my messages above [00:28] cdubya: I only see libdvdcss2 [00:28] seb: about md5sum? [00:28] yes sir [00:29] cdubya: packages.medibuntu.org [00:29] well, linux 8.10 installed, and I cant mount my second hard drive to retrieve info from it.... [00:29] Wyt: yeah and getting 9.04, when it's released on Thursday, and also manually setting your partitions up with Ext4, that means you can't use guided, since that will put on Ext3 [00:29] cdubya: yes libdvdcss2 that's fine [00:29] histo, installed it......still failing when I try to open a dvd using vlc or mplayer from terminal.... [00:29] Wyt: ext4 is a new filesystem that is optional in the next release of ubuntu. [00:29] Seb: i have no idea what that means... [00:29] can smbdy help me with cups? [00:29] !cups > abicska [00:29] abicska, please see my private message [00:29] Wyt: histo just explained, but do you know what a file system is? [00:30] seb: no [00:30] Wyt: that's what I thought [00:30] Wyt: ok do you know what NTFS is in Windows? [00:30] seb: yes [00:30] Wyt: well that's a file system [00:30] and also, I installed a game using wine, and it leaves a bit to be desired in performance... any suggestions?? [00:31] Wyt: Linux has it's own file systems, that are better than Microsoft's [00:31] artman: do you have proper video drivers installed? [00:31] artman: what type of video card do you have? [00:31] Wyt: it's just the way a computer stores files on a disk. FAT and NTFS are Windows filesystems. ext 2-4, reiserfs, etc are free ones available under Linux [00:31] unop_: yeah, that cut the speed by about 66%... any ideas for further optimization? or am i just running into limits of how fast regexs can move? [00:31] hi, anyone know, what kernel does ubnutu 8.04 use? [00:31] seb: NTFS is like when you partition your HD you can pick NTFS or whatever else....right? [00:31] I installed everything that linux directed me too... I think the most recent I have is nvidia 180..... [00:32] oooo ok thanks oli! [00:32] Wyt: yeah in Windows, you would do NTFS these days, or maybe Fat32 [00:32] histo, when I try to open the dvd with movie player, it gives me an error saying it couldn't open the location and I might have permission ?????? [00:32] seb: yes fat32 and ntfs are the ones im familiar with [00:32] Wyt: Ubuntu can also read and write to NTFS and Fat32, as long as Windows shut them down properly [00:32] cdubya: have you edited your fstab? [00:32] histo, no..... [00:32] Wyt: however you don't install Ubuntu onto Fat32 or NTFS [00:32] histo, how so? [00:32] maodun, well, how much input text do you have? [00:32] artman: what game are you trying to run? [00:32] hey i was trying to upgrade amarok... and it led me to add another software source but now i cant use the update manager bc i get a gpg error.. also i get the error when sudo apt-get update any help?? [00:32] Wyt: you install onto Ext3 or Ext4 usaully [00:33] Jordan_U, ..i've a present for you,new output coming......DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. [00:33] sebsebseb: well.... you could [00:33] sebseb... think thats the problem with my issue.... is saying windows didnt release it... [00:33] Oli``: well Wubi I suppouse, but otherwise uhmmm? [00:33] dstrbdfrk1: remove the other source and apt-get update [00:33] Grub failed on my spare computer. As a result, I followed the directions to install grub with the Ubuntu LiveCD. However, this only picked up Ubuntu and NOT Windows XP too. I need both OS's. How do I get grub to recognize windows? Why didn't it do it automatically like (I'm told) it should have/ [00:33] last chaos.... from aria games... it runs ok in window, but freezes in full screen.. [00:33] unop_: i'll be dealing with about a GB [00:33] Hi, i am using ubuntu hardy 8.10, installed on my dell 1525, want to run kismet, but i dont know what will be my source in kismet.conf, (source=BCM4312,eth1,broadcom) its not working.. [00:33] sebsebseb: yeah I was only thinking of Wubi [00:33] seb: k. soooo you're saying i need to partition my drive with a ext3 or 4 to install ubuntu? [00:33] histo, here's what it says for that drive...../dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [00:33] hi, I interrupted the downloading of my Nvidia drivers, how can I get it to actually activate? [00:34] what is archive.canonical.com [00:34] artman: I would check the appdb at winehq.org and see what people are saying for testing results. [00:34] histo: what other source the one i added? [00:34] Wyt: well and there are about 3 others you could partition with, but those can be ignored for Ubuntu [00:34] dstrbdfrk1: yes [00:34] ok let me try [00:34] Could someone tell me how I might go about preventing vim from drawing a black background.(I find it interferes with my transparencies.) [00:34] dstrbdfrk1: see if thats the problem. [00:34] thanks histo!! [00:34] artman: np [00:34] Wyt: most Linux distros use Ext3 by default, Ext4 is pretty new, and it's meant to be much better than Ext3, however since it's new the default is still Ext3 for 9.04, but if you partition yourself, I mean set up partitions properly, you can choose Ext4 [00:34] seb: i was just trying to run a livecd. thats where my issue was coming from. i wasnt trying to install it.. [00:35] artman: also there is #winehq channel here on freenode [00:35] hi, how do i add a user and also create a group with the same username that the user belongs to [00:35] Wyt: oh thought you wanted to install [00:35] Wyt: what issue were you having with the live cd? [00:35] Wyt: anyway I guess you got a bad CD that's the problem [00:35] seb: lol yea thats why we got confused. but i will on thursday [00:35] actually, that's not entirely accurate: i'll probably parse a total of a couple GB a day, but in batches of about 10-20 MB at a time [00:36] jjor [00:36] the cd boots up then gives me some error about my x server graphics not being configured properly [00:36] anyone with ideas on how to access my secondary drive?? [00:36] Wyt: your on 64bit I assume, since you got 4GB RAM, as I said before the CD you were trying to boot was probably 32bit, now those would normally work to on 64bit computers, but maybe they don't always [00:36] Jordan_U, are you still here? [00:36] Wyt: did you try selecting safe graphics mode from the menu [00:36] deuonderer, What is the output of "invoke-rc.d dbus status" ? [00:36] histro: yes i did [00:36] maodun, for that size I don't have many suggestions - I would ask the folk in #sed [00:36] sebsebseb: they will always work on 64bit proc [00:37] Wyt: what type of video card is in your machine? [00:37] unop_: ok, thanks a lot [00:37] Jordan_U, * dbus is running. [00:37] histo: its naming a source thats not on my list i removed the one i put on but its still giving the error [00:38] deuonderer, I am not sure what's happening there then. [00:38] sebsebseb & Wyt: just to clarify, 32bit CDs will always works on modern 64bit machines. (the exceptions are failed, old-gen intel itanium servers that use a different instruction set) [00:38] histo: mobile intel(r) 4 series express chipset family [00:38] Jordan_U, no man,don't give up plz......... [00:38] How would I go about creating a self-sign cert which is valid for multiple TLDs and sub-domains? I want to try avoiding creating four different certs, and then have to create an additional apache and postfix handlers for each TLD -- unfortunately Professor Google hasn't been very helpful with this information beyond defining the cert type as UCC [00:38] Wyt: hrm... I remember issues iwth some of those you said it was ubuntu 7.xx [00:38] hi! [00:39] Oli``: oh right [00:39] histo: yea i think 07.11 [00:39] someone can help me?¿ [00:39] !ask > teclado [00:39] teclado, please see my private message [00:39] how can i install Gadmin-proftpd? [00:39] Wyt: let me see if I can find a workaround other than downloading a newer version [00:39] my windows are maximizing past my top desk bar.. how can i make this stop [00:39] Grub failed on my spare computer. As a result, I followed the directions to install grub with the Ubuntu LiveCD. However, this only picked up Ubuntu and NOT Windows XP too. I need both OS's. How do I get grub to recognize windows? Why didn't it do it automatically like (I'm told) it should have/ [00:39] file system on hard drive is ntfs.... had vista on this machine and installed liux over it.... any way to access my drive?? [00:40] deuonderer, Well, it's a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntfs-3g/+bug/162863 but ( not having checked the security implications of this ) it can be fixed [00:40] histo: its a livecd that came with a book i bought that has a bunch of programming tools and whatnot already on it. [00:40] artman: Vista is probably gone [00:40] artman: ,but there may be a way to recover data [00:40] artman: hard disks don't delete data properly [00:40] Majost: you'll have to create a wildcard for each TL domain but (AFAIK) you can't have one that covers multiple TLDs [00:41] Jordan_U, the question is how [00:41] Wyt: ahh being the older cd its hard to say. I know there were issues wiht the 915 chips and some other cards back then. But I don't beleive its supported anymore. I'm sure most the programing apps are avialible in the repositories on the newer cds. [00:41] Majost: But valid? They'll all throw CA errors as you're (surely?!) not a CA? [00:41] sebseb... yes, its gone (which is what I wanted) but I cant mount my secondary hardrive in linux... says I cant mount it, and when I try to insert proper code to allow, it doesnt work..... probably inputting incorrect sytax or what have you... [00:41] histo: yeah as far as I know 7.10 is no longer suppourted, could do the maths even :D a yearl and half suppourt for 7.10 [00:42] Oli``: Self-signed is fine... I just am trying to simply my apache and postfix configs more than anything else. [00:42] Jordan_U, however,with diskmanager i managed to mount it,and then,without being root,i umounted it with right click+umount... [00:42] Jordan_U, ..just for information... [00:42] how can I find my computer's specifcations (processor speed, RAM, etc) [00:42] sebsebseb, histo: 7.10 went EOL on the 18th. [00:42] histo: doesnt liunx come with programming tools? or do u have to download them separately? [00:42] Oli``: But I also just stumbled upon cacert.org just now -- so I will see if they have any addition information on the subject. Thanks! [00:42] Flannel: ok thanks :) === tinkerbottom is now known as Biophile [00:43] deuonderer, Yes, if you don't have an entry in the fstab then you can mount and unmount it from nautilus [00:43] how can i install Gadmin-proftpd? [00:43] Wyt: you have to get them seperatly [00:43] Wyt: Emacs and such :) [00:43] Wyt: each distro puts different packages in by default.

My Ext3 partition sshows up as ext2fs is this a problem? [00:43] Wyt: Ubuntu/Debians beauty is the package manager and software repository. You can install thousands of pieces of software with a few clicks. [00:44] i try to install with sudo aptitude install gadmin-proftpd [00:44] seb & histo: im trying to learn C, C++ [00:44] Question - When I use the Ubuntu LiveCD to restore Grub, shouldn't Grub be able to find XP + Ubuntu? It only loads Ubuntu and doesn't give me the option for XP... [00:44] Jordan_U, ..can you tell me the exact line to mount it? i'm typing "mount /dev/sdb1",but perhaps i'm in wrong.. [00:44] !find devc++ [00:44] Found: padevchooser [00:44] !info devc++ [00:44] Package devc++ does not exist in intrepid [00:44] Wyt: then you would need gcc. There is a meta package in ubuntu called build-essentials which will install everyhting you would need. [00:44] Roasted [00:45] teclado, apt-get not aptitude [00:45] Wyt: but I believe gcc is installed by default. [00:45] !info gcc [00:45] gcc (source: gcc-defaults (1.74ubuntu2)): The GNU C compiler.

[00:47] teclado - I did not. I intentionally installed Windows SECOND on my spare computer to purposely reinstall Grub and learn how for troubleshooting purposes. So I installed Ubuntu first, XP second. After this, naturally, XP booted and Ubuntu wasn't seen due to XP overwriting the boot loader. So I did a reinstall of Grub with the LiveCD and now Ubuntu works, but not XP. XP was not formatted. [00:47] seb: what is emacs?

[01:21] sorry [01:21] !nvidia > zopiac [01:21] zopiac, please see my private message [01:21] realraven: yes when you connect to vpn it will pull those nameservers [01:22] digitaloktay: Additionally, thats for the getdeb repo, we have nothing to do with them here. [01:22] realraven: it takes a few minutes to correct it self after you disconnect [01:22] histo, but if I don't connect to vpn I still get this [01:22] say you wish to install a package for jaunty, but the repository has in only for hardy, is it worth the risk? to install the .deb... or should i download the source, compile, etc? [01:22] histo, I haven't connected in a while [01:23] this is just a general q, dont redirect to jaunty discussion [01:23] histo, could stuff from my last connection to vpn got stuck somewhere? :) [01:23] realraven: well you can put any nameserver in htere you want. But perhaps your router is issuing the falty dns [01:23] histo, different routers all the time... hotels, conferances and mine at home [01:24] can I restore all resolve.conf settings :) [01:24] realraven: ahh well where every you last got an ip from should give you nameservers. [01:24] realraven: you can manually edit the file. sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf [01:24] histo, exactly.. but I'm stuck with the two from work and they are internal so without access all resolves take forever [01:25] histo, yeah, and I do that.. but as it gets overwritten all of the time I'm lookíng for a more final solution [01:25] realraven: well like I say when you get a new ip from your home router it should be overwritten with those nameservers [01:25] realraven: as you connect to each network. [01:26] it's like it just appends to a static one with bad nameservers in it [01:26] realraven: well how does /etc/network/interfaces look? [01:27] just auto lo and iface lo inet loopback [01:27] or do you mean resolvconf/run/interface? [01:27] no? no one can answer my question? [01:28] realraven: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dhcp3/+bug/90681 [01:28] what [01:28] meatcar1: its not recomended but it depends on the package and the depends on how well it will work.

[01:33] histo - do you know how I can get grub to recover windows + Ubuntu and not JUST ubuntu? [01:33] <|Chaorain|> in Disk Usage Analyzer my Mp4 files on xp show up as "hardlinks" is there a way to change this? [01:34] !grub | Roasted [01:34] Roasted: 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 [01:34] yes, same with me... i have more "hardlink" [01:34] I'm quite familiar with what Grub is.... I'm questioning on how to have it find windows too... [01:34] dstrbdfrk1: I have no idea how to get their key. Its a third party repo I generally don't use them. Someone else may knnow more than me. [01:34] <|Chaorain|> It really messes up the proportions [01:34] Roasted: hi, can't you just chroot your install from the live cd then update-grub [01:35] histo: ok thanx ... noone else is talking lol [01:35] centHOGG - What do you mean by chroot? [01:35] Roasted: that howot will showyou how to add windows in there. [01:35] histo - So there's no way to have grub automatically detect windows/ [01:35] Roasted: yeah this is kinda common.. google can explain it better just you those keywords [01:35] Roasted: you can try what centHOGG is suggesting [01:35] because I was told grub would, which is why I'm kind of confused. [01:36] !chroot | Roasted [01:36] Roasted: chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) [01:36] Roasted: basically you would mount your / from your ubuntu drive then chroot to that environment and run grub-update [01:36] yeah [01:36] wait, waht? Do I do this from the livecd or within ubuntu or what? [01:37] google :) [01:37] Roasted: well if you can still boot to ubuntu you can just do it from there. [01:38] evening [01:39] is there a program that adds entries to my kmenu automatically using the /usr/bin folder as a reference of available programs?

[01:40] from* [01:40] digitaloktay: Generally, you don't. [01:41] Roasted: was windows installed first? [01:42] histo - No, this is a spare rig. I intentionally installed windows second to try and seee how fixing grub works. [01:42] Roasted: well basically jsut edit /boot/grub/menu.1st and add the entry for windows if you want. [01:42] jlilly: just open another tab so that you have a tab bar, then drag-n-drop [01:43] I used to play Gunship in windows, is there something similar available for Ubuntu? [01:43] anyone? [01:43] Roasted: i dont' believe update-grub will detect windows instlal like the installer does [01:44] n2diy: you may be able to run the windows game with wine [01:44] Does anyone know if i can force an unsupported higher resolution in intrepid 8.10?

Also are you sure you have athe right uuid [01:59] artman: and a filesystem type [02:00] artman: the line would be somehting like /dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs defaults 0 2 [02:00] 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. <- there's still that one not upgraded thing [02:00] artman: or you can use the UUID in place of the /dev/sda1 if you know it.

[02:01] <|Chaorain|> are there any tools I can use instead of Baobab [02:01] histo... oh, ok, so its not replaceing type, it replaces location.. [02:01] artman: either way works.

[02:02] <|Chaorain|> er file [02:02] ok, let me edit, and if you dont mind, I will post again to double check with you...

[02:54] bonhoffer, it's a bit of both .. it has a daemon that runs locally and syncs to the online server when it can .. makes it ideal for laptops, etc that aren't always connected to the net.

[02:56] unop, really -- 2gb free -- i'll check it out [02:56] thismamacooks200: also 205fps with glxgears is not that fast and glxgears isn't a good test [02:56] bonhoffer, one down side is that it will only sync one particular directory (which you can nominate, i think) [02:56] anyone know how i can resize an existing ext3 ubuntu boot partition and move my /home to a new partition?

[03:03] hisyo: o got it.i've just been suggested that by someone else =p. thx [03:03] aasdf: well you can specify monitor specific settings in xorg.conf or let the xserver detect them on its own. [03:04] prikolchik: yes ubottu is a bot that we use to send frequent answers to people. [03:04] :/ xserver didnt detect it the first time and i dont know how to work with xorg config [03:04] aasdf: what version of ubuntu are you running? [03:04] Hi, there is something wrong with my computer's partitions. I installed linux and then had to reinstall windows. Now I can't restore grub or install. What should I do? [03:04] 8.10 [03:04] assaltcube, supertux 2, emilia pinball, all that I can tell. Also, some are making the textures all white or all black. Compiz seems to be working though [03:04] I looked at the page teh bot sent me, but I did not see where it shows how to make sure the driver I installed is always used...? [03:05] is there away to rewrite the partition table of a disk without actually deleting one of the partitions? [03:05] aasdf: yeah the other issue is xorg.conf isn't used anymore. But you can still specify monitor specific settings in there. You can set horizontal and vsync ranges. That howto should go into that.

[04:41] anyone tried to use virtualbox for 3d acceleration in a windows guest? so far as i can tell it isnt work for me [04:41] mkasson: i would expect that in something prepackaged... i would imagine u need the 'extras' u can just do with the prepackage.. check on VMWare site.. they have a virtual appliance market with some free doohikies that are ready to load up in a VM [04:41] Hey, just had a question about mount: Why is it the default for linux is to not auto-mount all the HDD? Is there some advantage to not having them mounted until they're needed? [04:41] ai3gtmc: Make sure the bluetooth device is set to visible. [04:42] artman: it looks like windows wasn't shutdown properly youc an add the -o force on the end of the command we just tried to mount it. [04:42] technos how do I do it? [04:42] xangua, where do I get the key file? [04:42] rainofkayos: interesting. tanks [04:42] ai3gtmc: Right click the bluetooth icon in the notification area, select preferences. [04:43] or u can boot into windows and shutdown cleanly [04:43] artman: or what rainofkayos said [04:43] =) [04:43] RandomUsr: read the page [04:43] in some cases u would need to ,, some operations wont work on a dirty ntfs or fat system like resizing etc..

[04:44] dassouki: scp [04:44] artman: yes we just need to add it to the fstab now [04:45] same command?? [04:45] artman: first lets sudo umount /media/windows [04:45] and schemedit.com looks strange on firefox under 8.04 [04:45] thanks [04:45] * rainofkayos shutters @ the mention of Winbloze [04:45] does anyone know if there's a problem with the medibuntu repository currently? [04:45] ebil: there was recently a person who couldn't sync to medibuntu repos in here... he was on 8.10 [04:46] I followed the instructions for installing the repository, installed it, and it didn't add any packages. [04:46] rainofkayos: crap. I'm using 8.10 :( [04:46] SecPanel is a good graphical interface for ssh / scp, which is like winscp [04:46] artman: in fstab put in the UUID=whateverblahblah /dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 [04:46] histo... done.. [04:46] rainofkayos: it seems its command based i was hoping for something gui [04:47] moment please.. [04:48] what the command to pull up available drives?? [04:48] I recently installed a new kernel through package update, but when it finished installing I chose to keep my old menu list. now the new kernel is not available to choose in my grub menu list. Can I get the kernel added to the grub list? [04:48] how do i make a user an admin from the CLI? [04:49] update-grub [04:49] artman: fdisk -l will tell you your partition layout [04:49] rainofkayos: did they figure it out ever? [04:49] artman: K now save the fstab and go to prompt and sudo mount -a [04:49] artman: should mount it. [04:49] is it possible to change the size of the individual partitions within my linux partition? for instance, to shrink /home and increase /usr ? [04:50] is it: usermod -a -G admin [04:50] artman: unless its complaining about being shudown improperly still. In that case you can use the force option in fstab like it says or reboot in windows and shut it down properly. [04:50] ewsubach: yes you can do that. you just need to resize the filesystem [04:50] then resize the partition [04:50] this should be done offline [04:50] from a boot cd [04:50] or something like that [04:50] ewsubach: if your file system supports it, you can adjust things [04:51] mase_work: what is the "filesystem"...do you mean my overall linux partition? [04:51] I recently installed a new kernel through package update, but when it finished installing I chose to keep my old menu list. now the new kernel is not available to choose in my grub menu list. Can I get the kernel added to the grub list? [04:51] I got it force monted, but through windows dir... I no longer have win on my machine.. [04:52] can anyone help me with an ar5007eg wireless card [04:52] ewsubach: the filesystem is something like reiserfs or ext3 [04:52] Hey, just had a question about mount: Why is it the default for linux is to not auto-mount all the HDD? Is there some advantage to not having them mounted until they're needed? [04:52] ewsubach: it sits on top of the partion and allows you to store your files [04:52] artman: hrm.. let me see if there is a way to fix it from nix [04:53] whats the win+d exquivalent in ubuntu? [04:53] Im having an issue with Ubuntu locking-up randomly.. I was wondering, what should I use to find out why its doing this.. After lock-up, a reboot is needed... [04:53] ai3gtmc: what does win+d do ? [04:53] mase_work: what I mean is, I set the main partition (my linux ext3 formatted one) size, and I want to be able to resize specific mount points without affecting the main partition size. is that possible? [04:53] huh? [04:54] mase_work: it minimizes all open windows [04:54] is any1 else seeing schemedit.com strangly [04:54] histo... I have an external that is mounted... I am gonna copy my files then I can fdisk, if you will instruct me... [04:54] artman: if you sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs then you can sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda1 [04:54] artman: then you will be able to mount it normally [04:54] is it *not* kosher to create a user named admin? since i did that, it seems like my own admin privileges have gotten messed up. [04:54] ewsubach: yes it is possible if you have each mount point as a different partition [04:54] artman: that is with defaults instead of force [04:54] this bites === en|gma is now known as gizmo [04:55] I'm not able to add the GPG Key for medibuntu [04:55] Anyone have a clue why my bluetooth audio device won't appear in /proc/asound/cards?

[04:56] I just want to verify something quick: Will forcing Amarok and the amarok-engine packages to their respective current versions before upgrading to Jaunty hurt anything? [04:56] it says refusing to operate on read-write mounted device... I guess I need to un mont it?? [04:57] mase_work: just o get this straight, they all need to be in primary partitions, or they can be in extended partitions? [04:58] artman: yeppers sudo umount /media/windows [04:58] ewsubach: it doesn't matter. [04:58] just make sure they are unmounted whilst your resizing it [04:58] how do I get gnome to use my top bar for everything like on my mac?

[06:39] apt-get install wine,, or u can do to the site download the deb and dpkg -i <*.deb> [06:39] jumpkick: you can try making the mounts one after another on a startup script, like rc.local [06:39] To remove wine: apt-get purge wine [06:39] noiz: apt-get --purge remove wine ; apt-get install wine; [06:39] ty [06:40] thx jau, i"ll try that [06:40] how can i install .tar.tar [06:40] .tar.tar?

[06:40] u install whats inside [06:41] tar -xvf <*.tar> just looks like that file was named .tar and then got archived.. possibly making it a filename.tar.tar [06:41] Mikaze: Who said anything about being blind? [06:41] i have a corrupt flash drive which won't respond to actions in both gparted or fdisk /dev/sd?1 [06:41] any other useful tools here [06:42] * Mikaze is just saying...

[06:43] BladeNBrocade: it was fat16. and actually i was inaccurate, i could delete that from the table with gparted but assigning a different type didnt format the drive [06:43] it may be dirty,, and need to be checked from the proper system and then try gparted and fdisk again.. [06:43] tried fat 16 32 and ext3 [06:43] hmmm how to check it [06:43] if its a fat try to check it from a windows system and have chkdsk fix any fs errors [06:43] ugh no windows machine present [06:44] is there some kind of MOUSE sensitivity emulator of windows? [06:44] there may be a *nix option but im not sure how stable it is to check a ms fs from unix [06:44] apt-get dos-utils and then fsck the partition. [06:44] i mean, i want to use a certain sensitivity that i had on windows but i cant here [06:44] mkfs.vfat [06:44] brand0con you have fsck.msdos [06:45] oh yea that one =) [06:45] * BladeNBrocade wouldn't use fat if life depended on =) [06:45] hello i'm on crunchbang. trying to change my keyboard to qwerty and my display setting, its only 800x600 [06:45] me neither :@ [06:45] hehe [06:46] cruncher4832: You should ask in #crunchbang, thanks [06:46] How hard is it to keep ubuntu 8.04 lts server edition safe and up to date? [06:46] acode_: Not at all. [06:46] so jau was always curios is it safe to fsck that windows drive from unix? [06:46] Flannel: how many work hours can one expect to use on this a month? [06:47] Has been safe to fsck fat16/vfat partitions for years now. [06:47] BladeNBrocade: in my experience it is very safe [06:47] acode_: Uh... Including the time you wait for downloads? or what? [06:47] Mikaze: nice,, as i said i dont deal with a lot of windows at all pretty much lost there [06:47] BladeNBrocade: what sort of fs would you use than if you needed files to be usable on both windows and nix? [06:47] acode_: Time it takes you to do it... maybe 15 minutes a month? [06:47] Flannel: let me ask another way. Is there more to it then setting up your iptables properly and doing regular apt-get update ;-) [06:47] netinstall cd contains rp-pppoe? [06:48] i dont i work in predominantly red hat env. and use all linux at home,, but id use samba and fat if i needed [06:48] acode_: Not really, no. Well, update, then dist-upgrade. [06:48] hey my ubuntu after i type my password restarts.. [06:48] fat16 is nice if you want to share a partition on a dual-boot system. [06:48] and ends up back at login again.. [06:48] Flannel: excellent, thanks [06:48] arent you forced into fat pretty much? ntfs would just be silly (is it possible?) [06:48] i would imagine its needed in that case,,, not in mine i single boot [06:48] acode_ -> depens onf what services you are serving does it not [06:48] ? [06:48] n8tuser: ssh and apache [06:49] acode_ -> then what Flannel said seem enuff [06:49] ok thanks for the second opinion [06:50] printer help still needed [06:50] I have been testing out apps to see which ones print and which don't ... why is it that some work and some do not?

[06:52] this is in my mail.err "CVD file not found on remote server" Having probs with receiving mail from some domains, anyone ran into this before? [06:52] And then install and config the printer.

[06:54] Mikaze: I had to install the printer with a driver not in the Ubuntu kernel ... how do I do that on this site? [06:54] :) === not_sdf is now known as sdf_tilde [06:55] stanman1: updating clam av? [06:55] !source [06:55] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [06:55] Mikaze: the issue I am having is some apps working well wih printing and others not [06:55] !version [06:55] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [06:55] BladeNBrocade: mail from that domain is sent through their smtp host, telnetting to 25 to their ip doesn't work [06:55] * D3f0 is away: Ausente por el momento [06:55] I don't see how that is a driver issue [06:55] !stats [06:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about stats [06:56] zetheroo: Dunno. Spent the extra cash to buy a linux compatible printer after going through http://linuxprinting.org [06:56] Mikaze: if the driver was not working it would jst not work ... right? [06:56] 'smbtree' reports an error "tdb(unnamed): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/run/samba/gencache.tdb: Permission denied" in http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/394831/ . What is the function of the file /var/run/samba/gencache.tdb? [06:56] bullgard4: as i said i believe that gencache.tdb stores address resolution data.. is this affecting samba i believe that is ignorable [06:56] can someone help me with terminal install of gnomad [06:56] Mikaze: ok well I got to find out why its working with some apps and not others ... its an issue with those apps and not the printer or the driver [06:57] zetheroo: Look up your printer on http://www.linuxprinting.org and see what they say. [06:57] however u can check that samba user is running as owns that file as well... [06:57] anyone else have an idea whats going on here? [06:57] !leave [06:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about leave [06:57] can someone help me with terminal install of gnomad [06:58] stanman1: do u have some sort of smtp relay server setup? [06:59] can someone help me with terminal install of gnomad [06:59] BladeNBrocade: You can improve your communication efficiency in IRC: Prepend your message with the nick of the addressee of your message in a busy channel. [06:59] bullgard4: ok [07:00] does anyone actually help anyone on this channel [07:00] is the package named gnomad firian ? [07:01] yes [07:01] firian: Yes. For example BladeNBrocade did help me. [07:01] if so to install from the terminal type "sudo apt-get install gnomad" [07:01] how can i configure kde so that only windows from the current virtual desktop are displayed in the bottom panel [07:01] right now windows from all virtual desktops are displayed in it === juac is now known as jua [07:01] in mail.log i see a domain not found, so that's why the mail is rejected, pinging the domain results in an answer, but from a different ip [07:01] firian: We don't do your work for you. In my own case, I'm blind and it takes me 20 or more times longer to perform web searches, being unable to skip to the content I seek. [07:01] stanman1: host .. or dig mx [07:02] stanman1: are multiple IPs returned? === thelordmortis|aw is now known as thelordmortis [07:02] BladeNBrocade: Do you know what the filename extension 'tdb' stands for in /var/run/samba/gencache.tdb? [07:02] Mikaze: ur pretty fast man =) [07:02] it is a unix DB file [07:03] what the fuck [07:03] BladeNBrocade: 1 ip [07:03] Lucas156: Please mind the language. [07:03] tck99: you right click the panels task manager and choose to only display windows from current workspace [07:03] bullgard4: think the t stands for "temporal" [07:03] but ping returns a diff IP from that? is ur mail config proper and not mispelled? [07:03] jua: I see. -- Thank you. [07:04] bullgard4: Try apropos tdb [07:04] BladeNBrocade: hows that? [07:04] Hi guys, I've got compiz installed & on login I get a corrupted display, and the whole session crashes. Even on "failsafe" (ha!) gnome session. Is there a way to specify in advance to not load compiz (other than setting default/current window-manager to metacity)? [07:04] thanks JECHO, that worked :) [07:04] tck99: no problem :) [07:05] stanman1: how is what? [07:05] i guess you could kill compiz :( [07:05] hmm [07:06] hotdog: No, I can't. Compiz doesn't run until you have a graphical session (ie can't kill it from failsafe terminal since it's not running), and on login I get kicked out immediately. [07:06] Mike_lifeguard: disable graphical effects yet? [07:06] don't know how === Blizzerand__ is now known as Blizzerand [07:07] usually from the system > preferences menu [07:07] but if u can't access GUI then i see how thats an issue =) [07:07] Mike that seems to be the problem i have.. [07:07] right, it's not an issue :) [07:07] when i log in .. i get kicked off.. [07:08] try do like [07:08] ps x [07:08] and look for compiz [07:08] hotdog: try removing all compiz packages from the command line [07:08] hmm [07:08] and kil the process number [07:08] hotdog: then reboot and youll be using metacity [07:08] 'pgrep compiz' [07:09] iono its weird.. it was working for like 5 months and then all of a sudden it doesn't work. [07:09] Yeah, I uninstalled compiz entirely when this happened before [07:09] did u update hotdog ? [07:09] Whats the name of the program that can share the mouse between 2 computers? [07:09] and it worked fine until just now [07:09] I was hoping to avoid something so drastic [07:09] i don't think i updated.. i didn't bother with the new ubuntu coming in a couple days.. [07:09] not really drastic... just uninstalling =) [07:09] Mikaze: I did 'apropos tdb'. I got two hits. I read both manpages. The meaning of tdb is not explained in them. I only know now that .tdb files belong to Samba. [07:10] im thinking of formating ubuntu and installing gentoo.. [07:10] BladeNBrocade: but ping returns a diff IP from that? is ur mail config proper and not mispelled? [07:10] bullgard4: usually tdb are temporary db files used be a application [07:10] and when new ubuntu comes i might install kde.. i wanan try that new amarok.. [07:10] well... but I wanted compiz, and uninstalling it is the opposite :D [07:10] stanman1: did u have to define what domains u forward mail to in ur mail configs? [07:10] hotdog: whats your issue? [07:10] hotdog: i just tried it... not a fan at all [07:10] maybe uninstalling and reinstalling would help [07:10] new amarok sucks? [07:10] hotdog: the new KDE is so unorganized (in my opinion) [07:11] bullgard4: what is the problem with the samba tdbs¿ [07:11] hotdog: yeah [07:11] try uninstalling and --purge option to remove the configs and try a clean install [07:11] i used the new kde.. just not the new amarok [07:11] hotdog: thats your issue? [07:11] my sound isn't working [07:11] BladeNBrocade: Thank you for explaining. [07:11] sucks [07:11] hotdog: maybe youll like it but i wasnt happy with it [07:11] bullgard4: as per centeris i usually clear out a tdb file when there is a cache issue [07:11] the issue is when i go to the login screen [07:11] BladeNBrocade: ah. It's the receiving mail server, not receiving it. The other end just sends the mail out [07:11] !doesntwork | Lucas156 [07:11] Lucas156: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [07:11] i type in user and login.. [07:11] xdmcp: 'smbtree' reports an error "tdb(unnamed): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/run/samba/gencache.tdb: Permission denied" in http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/394831/ . What is the function of the file /var/run/samba/gencache.tdb? [07:11] the screen blinks [07:11] hahaha [07:11] stanman1: ok [07:11] ok thanks [07:11] and then it restarts back to login.. [07:11] like when you do [07:12] not functioning? [07:12] any ideas on how to fix the flash problem in jaunty? [07:12] cntrl alt backspace [07:12] lol [07:12] plonky: what flash problem? [07:12] plonky: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks. [07:12] BladeNBrocade: in the mail.log i see that a domain wasn't found, so the mail was rejected [07:12] hotdog: ok ... and this is on a fresh install? [07:12] ta [07:12] this install has been working for like 6 months.. [07:12] xdmcp: May I add that 'smbtree' does not produce any output if I set the log level to 0. [07:12] bullgard4: i use centeris to merge AD users/groups in a linux environment.. when a windows user can't log in,, we blow the tdb file and restart centeris [07:12] plonky: if you use medibuntu I have found you run into no problems with flash and other codecs [07:13] its a flash bug [07:13] plonky: im on jaunty and have no problems at all [07:13] bullgard4: this creates a new tdb... but in ur case i believe that ur tdb is caching name resulutions.. and u may nor not be able to do this.. who owns the file? [07:13] hotdog: so any updates before the last time you shutdown or restarted? [07:13] stanman1: this is a good reason to reject mail.. [07:13] :( [07:13] are u pinging the same domain that ur mailer is coded to mail to? is basically what i was asking.. [07:14] i refuse to update because new ubuntu coming in a couple days.. [07:14] BladeNBrocade: root/root [07:14] so i don't think i updated anything [07:14] bullgard4: i dont think samba is malfunctioning for you is it? [07:14] is there cases like this where updating results in error at login? [07:14] hotdog: it would probably be the easiest to format and reinstall fresh Ubuntu in 2 days ... [07:14] yep, though till 2 days ago i received mail from that domain [07:15] and some others [07:15] I can live without linux... till then.. i got a shell account.. [07:15] stanman1: are u sure there is no issue on that mail server? [07:15] zetheroo: why format before a new install? [07:15] n2diy: make room for new install [07:15] n2diy: why not? .. its safer ... [07:15] BladeNBrocade: It is malfunctioning. If I issue the smbtree command with loglevel 0, I will not obtain any output. nmbd and smbd do exist though. "Earlier" everything functioned all right. I do not know what has changed. [07:16] think not, am having this problem for three other domains [07:16] hotdog: whast he is trying to say is "why not update through Synaptic" [07:16] the first thing mail will do is a reverse lookup on the domain,, so if thats returning something funky,, then it may not be ur issue,, perhaps,, they updated DNS that didn't fully propagate? [07:16] should be receiving logs from them [07:16] hotdog: but its never the same as a fresh install.... [07:16] zetheroo: hotdog, and why install? shouldn't apt-get upgrade work? [07:16] bullgard4: i see.. a new question.. why are u running samba as root? [07:17] n2diy: sure one can try that ... but its always saved me time and hassle just to format and reinstall ... [07:17] hwo do i make f-spot stop opening every time i put in my media card? [07:17] ubuntu is acting like windows [07:17] hmm i want a fresh install.. so much cleaner.. i got kde apps and gnome apps mixed together.. and also i got that lame login error.. so I will just do a fresh install.. [07:18] apt-get dist-upgrade no? [07:18] badfish69: there is a settng about removable media in system -> preferences [07:18] zetheroo: ok, do you leave /home alone? If not, what is your backup and restore routine? [07:18] BladeNBrocade: I don't know why I do that. I usually start running a command without the sudo prefix. Only if I get insufficient response, I will prepend it with sudo. [07:18] badfish69: I also find that very annoying [07:18] what's different in ubuntu 9.04 from ubuntu 8.10?? [07:18] bullgard4: do u have any other examples of ur error that u can paste? [07:18] i heard it boots faster :0 === Blizzerand is now known as Blizzerand^ [07:18] axsd9d: go to ubuntu.com and find out [07:19] it seems to need less setup out of the box [07:19] BladeNBrocade: No. This error is new to me. [07:19] not the same as hearing from users on their comments [07:19] axsd9d, more of the same-improved [07:19] n2diy: I same all my data to an external ... on another system I have my home folder on an external all the time .... [07:20] n2diy: save* not same ... [07:20] axsd9d, and ext4 is pretty fast [07:20] stanman1: can u as well further explain ur issue.. as in.. is this an application script/etc sending the mail? is this some app that call on a mail? have u configured mail.confs/ etc etc.. and more so.. for these 3 domains,, did anything recently change in ur configs in regards to them? [07:20] is ext4 stable enough or should i wait until its more established? [07:20] thnx derfrysk :) [07:21] bullgard4: new to my eyes as well but it appears to be based on a perm issue.. [07:21] drinkycrow: yeah its great [07:21] drinkycrow, ext4 is stably but with a major crash you might have data-loss [07:21] drinkycrow: i wouldn't put it on /home but i would be fine root / [07:21] it* [07:21] blacknred0: This is my impression too. [07:21] did u just catch this,, or has this been happening? has any change occured on ur FS? mainly the location of those tdb files? [07:21] zetheroo: ok, what are you using to move your files/archives around? I'm trying to figure out a good backup/restore system for my LAN here. [07:22] ah [07:22] n2diy: mostly I do it all manually ... I just have everything very organized ... more or less [07:23] hi i got a problem, when i open a game whit wine (counter strike, and yes tryed going to #winehq was told that its no wine problem.) and when cs opens i cant use keyboard, and after i close counter strike i see a little box whit all the letters inside it what i tryed to use while on counter strike. [07:23] i can make a screenshot too. [07:23] BladeNBrocade: i'm looking at the logs and see that these domains are not found, so postfix rejects them [07:24] so all 3 domains share that common error.. however ur pings, and telnet 25 to the domains are succesful? can u paste the error line in? and i see ur using postfix.. [07:24] sup guys [07:24] zetheroo: ok, so have you tried to do a restore? I found that it is the "less" part that kills you doing a restore. Missing, broken links, etc.. are a PITA to fix. [07:25] i hate restore [07:25] hi i got a problem, when i open a game whit wine (counter strike, and yes tryed going to #winehq was told that its no wine problem.) and when cs opens i cant use keyboard, and after i close counter strike i see a little box whit all the letters inside it what i tryed to use while on counter strike. [07:25] bullgard4: trying to google on that a bit [07:26] amarok 2.0 is terrible. why? [07:26] im not sure.. [07:26] blocky: I have done so yet. All my efforts were in vain yet. But I am continuing. (My feeling is that I am missing some important background information.) [07:27] bullgard4: did u build samba from source? [07:27] BladeNBrocade: I have done so yet. All my efforts were in vain yet. But I am continuing. (My feeling is that I am missing some important background information.) [07:27] what should i replace amarok with? something that can handle .flac'd cds and .cues (and apes even?) would be nice. [07:27] hmm/. [07:27] what is the command for checking wine version [07:27] bullgard4: i see something about those fileson debian belong under /var/cache where is that *.tdb file located for you? [07:27] Jesus? Are you there? [07:27] so I want to install kde on my 8.10 ubuntu how do I do it? [07:27] Apr 21 08:26:54 server02 postfix/smtpd[6130]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[]: 450 4.1.8 : Sender address rejected: Domain not found; [07:28] BladeNBrocade: No, from the Ubuntu repositories. And I upgraded them since Ubuntu 6.06. But everything worked all right until recently. [07:28] hmm [07:28] god damn no help [07:28] bb [07:28] BladeNBrocade: wanted to change the ip to the actual sending ip, but hit enter instead. So between [] there's the ip [07:29] stanman1: http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_VERIFICATION_README.html [07:29] is that verification enabled in ur postfix? [07:30] bullgard4: lol i guess we can scratch then huhh =) [07:30] I need help! [07:30] chris_: with? [07:30] when i try to write something it opens some weird dumb small box where all the freaking letters go in [07:30] chris_: man wine [07:30] Makes my kkeyboard useless [07:30] no wine! [07:30] You could always use the old version of amarok.. [07:31] chris_: oksorry i thought u wanted to know about wine version.. again.. i hate windows with a passion.. enough to stay away from wine =) [07:31] i hate windows , love gaming [07:31] so dilemma [07:31] chris_: Xbox360 / ps3 [07:31] dual boot? [07:31] =) [07:32] I wrong [07:32] counter strike gaming :) [07:32] * BladeNBrocade always thought seriously playing PC games was weird.. just feels icky [07:32] is there a shortname for ubuntu? [07:32] stanman1: BladeNBrocade: the domain seems to be valid - 'host avhtech.nl' returns an A record (213.188.134.201), plus MX records. Is that IP what is in the log entry? === mrpresident is now known as roccity_ [07:32] ubuntu is pretty short already [07:32] hehe [07:32] BladeNbrocade there is no point in discussing windows, i am having some IDIOtic problems that even the smartest guys of linux have no answere to. [07:32] hmm [07:33] ub? [07:33] funny fact actually [07:33] chris_: =) [07:33] u [07:33] i'm trying to build a .bin program by make...but i have this output: make: ***no rule to make target 'clean' [07:33] hmm if i sync with songbird and I don't have any songs on songbird but i have songs on my iphone will that delete my iphone songs? [07:33] chris_: i was actually discussing my Xbox360 and PS3 @ that point [07:34] BladeNBrocade: no it's not [07:34] BladeNBrocade well i guess so, but i dont like game consoles like that, never have.! fan of fps gaming on pc.anyways i still have not gotten a answere why the hell does a little square appear on my desktop when i open cs and write, [07:34] how to make regex non greedy with grep.. [07:34] * BladeNBrocade podering [07:34] BladeNBrocade it even sometimes happens when i have not opened cs [07:35] timfrost: no it's not [07:35] stanman1: not what? [07:35] address verification [07:35] stanman1: weirdness... [07:36] K i have my cs open [07:36] and i have no idea why i cant write init [07:36] OOOH [07:36] but i have reject_unauth_destination in the recipient_restrictions [07:36] k now i get it [07:36] When i try to write in cs [07:36] it writes here! [07:36] how to know the bus speed in the RAM? [07:36] Thursap: lshw [07:36] aaaawww [07:37] stanman1: those were my next questions.. also doesn't it complain about the sender header as well? [07:37] God damnit. [07:37] jjhjh [07:37] does mentioning "ub" tell you it is ubuntu? [07:37] does mentioning "ub" tell you it is ubuntu? === mirk_ is now known as mirk [07:37] Thursap: dmidecode --type memory [07:38] tjz: what is "it" [07:38] /ub[a-z]*/ [07:38] join #ubuntu-it [07:38] the word.. [07:38] lol [07:38] n2diy: it does not show the speed, just capacity [07:38] can somone help me whit keyboard problems? [07:38] blade, ok.. LOL [07:38] hehe [07:38] stanman1: there must be a check of the originating IP address. I assume, since the log entry said 'unknown', that the IP address doesn't resolve to a name, and you have postfix configured to require that it does resolve. [07:38] nope [07:38] chris_: do you have a USB keyboard? [07:38] Thursap: hmm, let me look. [07:38] how can i turn that off for now? [07:39] so my users accept the mail [07:39] I want the user autoupdate ubuntu, without root's password is possible? [07:39] Hammerhead66 i have a usb one, and 1 whit no usb [07:39] timfrost: sounds highly possible [07:39] Hammerhead66 BOTHH have the same dumb problem! [07:39] witch one are you trying to use [07:39] is that a dns thing? [07:39] does anyone know if there is a way to organize or at least sort favorites in vinagre? [07:39] yep [07:40] kenyon: in the "speed" parameter, it shows: "Unknown" :( [07:40] IP would need a reverse entry [07:40] Hammerhead66 both have the same problem , didnt you read what i wrote/ [07:40] BladeNBrocade: I can't remember the postfix option that stanman1 needs to check/change [07:40] Hammerhead66 the problem is inside linux! [07:40] timfrost: me either i am used to sendmail actually.. hence my frequnet googling for translation [07:40] lol [07:41] Hammerhead66 it wont recognize wine as a diffrent window and so when i press a key while on counter strike, IT will press it on the desktop [07:41] chris_: ok what I want you to do is...take a deep breath. then I would like for you to try to turn on the Num Lock key on your keyboard when it boots up. If the light goes out turn it back on til it's done booting ok [07:41] anyone know, is there even going to be a 2.7 or 2.8 kernel, or are we pretty much sticking with 2.6 from now on? [07:42] Thursap: hmm, don't know. One of my boxes gives no info, the other gives lots of info. Depends on hardware I guess. [07:42] im pleased with 2.6 not sure of the plans for the future i would imagine updates would come as needed with kernels [07:43] I have a Creative Labs sound card... it was working fine with Ubuntu and all of a sudden it stopped working. I booted off a live CD and the sound card works fine... so my question is, what's going on here? Why is it not working here anymore? [07:43] ciao [07:43] !list [07:43] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [07:44] loquitus_of_bor1: checked the volume with alsamixer? [07:44] stanman1: no, it is in the postfix configuration. I have just installed the postfix-doc package, which should have the readme that describes the options in /etc/postfix/main.cf (and other configuration options [07:45] think i see the issue, it's dns related [07:45] or some other config [07:45] kenyon: yes... the volumes are up. [07:45] well preferably u would need a reverse entry added for that IP,, but the workaround would be to make the app not check that [07:45] how about in hosts? [07:45] ie: if i ping computer, then i get a reply from computer.mylocal.lan [07:45] that's not right [07:46] kenyon: alsamixer shows it is all runnning [07:46] how can i change that? [07:46] whats in ur resolver.conf? [07:46] my router [07:46] hmm is ur router doing dns? === DAW is now known as DAWSE [07:47] also there should be search sequences that may append the localhost.domain to the end of each domain name so u dont have to.. [07:47] stanman1: did you set a domain name when you installed? [07:47] when i installed an apple theme, the place of buttons on the title bar has changed. how can i recover it? [07:47] i changed that to a different ip, what do i need to restart [07:47] possibly adding those domains to hosts with the proper IP and bouncing postfix? or looking into what timfrost said about the option to stop postfix from checking that [07:48] gaokai: you want to remove the theme? [07:48] stanman1: what ip did u change? [07:48] nameserver in resolv.conf === ^Vampire^ is now known as Ranakah` [07:48] well if ur router is in fact doing dns thats fine... if not it should be ur valid dns server unless ofcourse ur addressed by dhcp.. [07:48] histo>oh,yeah,how to remove the theme? [07:49] but i would reload postfix now to make it see the change if that is the case.. i was thinking more so u may need to add entries to hosts file [07:49] for those domains [07:49] question i have a amd x2 5000 64 bit 2.6, would i see performance increases runnin ght 64 bit verison of ubuntu? [07:50] BladeNBrocade: i'll restart postfix first then add the domain to the hostfile === Ranakah` is now known as ^Vampire^ [07:50] stanman1: thats backwards i believe [07:50] stanman1: postfix wont see those dns changes unless thats changed then postfix bounced [07:50] manpoole: why would you not run 64 bit? [07:50] compatibility [07:50] or reloaded [07:51] I didnt know there would be that many differences in performance [07:51] if there are noticable diff im willing to download the 64 bit asap! lol [07:51] manpoole: if you have > 4 G of RAM, there might be performance differences [07:51] * BladeNBrocade prepares to trek into rainy manhattan for a store run [07:51] eh 2 [07:52] kenyon: 64bit is not an advantage in all situations, and its advantages are best leveraged with lots of ram. So just because a system CAN do 64bit doesn't mean it is optimal to do so. [07:52] so what are the pros of running 64 [07:52] manpoole: you probably wouldn't notice the difference then. [07:52] is changing the nameserver in resolv.conf enough to use the new nameserver or do i need to restart something [07:52] networking [07:52] manpoole: Pro? Bragging rights. Its like having chrome spinners on your snowmachine. [07:52] and postfix [07:53] well i do have chrome spinner on my snow machine [07:53] kidding but i just figured there would be some performance increase [07:53] manpoole: also, you need to be ready for Y2K38. [07:53] anybody know if alsa is screwed or something? I can't for the life of me figure out why this damn sound card stopped working [07:54] I have ubuntu installed into a windows partition and I can mount the C drive of the windows partition but not the D drive how can I mount this? [07:54] if it works on the live CD and not in ur OS it appears some config issue or possibly the driver somehow not loaded? [07:54] stanman1: do you have entries in main.cf for any of the following: smtpd_client_restrictions, smtpd_sender_restrictions or smtpd_data_restrictions? If any of them are set, they could be blocking the mail [07:55] brb guys.. [07:55] manpoole: This install is Jaunty amd64. I did amd64 only because this computer is capable of 64bit. It doesn't actually help much, except for encrypt/decrypt. That seems to be a bit faster with 64bit. [07:55] Is there a way for me to force Ubuntu to try to install additional kernels? like say something newer and pre-release? [07:56] yea i did the Jaunty ext4 install just wondering if i could get some extra speed out of a 64 bit jaunty === rod_ is now known as DanDare [07:56] ciao a tutti [07:56] manpoole: I'd say "maybe" and "it depends". [07:57] loquitus_of_bor1: you can add the -proposed repositories and possibly get a newer kernel. [07:57] qualcuno sa dirmi perche non riesco a connettermi al server irc.tiscali.it con xchat? [07:57] ak dave any problems with drivers? [07:57] or codecs? [07:58] How do i run modprobe ath_pci at start up? [07:58] loquitus_of_bor1: only if you enable the backports and pre-release (proposed) repositories. Even then, you only get kernels that the Ubuntu developers have packaged. [07:58] kenyon: how do I do that? [07:58] How do i run modprobe ath_pci at start up as sudo* ? [07:58] manpoole: None that I've experienced. I don't have a restricted video driver available for my machine and the newest Xorg, so amd64 doesn't hurt me there. [07:58] timfrost: how do I enable that? [07:58] adsf: sudo modprobe ath_pci === javes is now known as Aermornion [07:59] how much ram and could you see a difference from 32 jaunty? [07:59] join #ubuntu+1 [07:59] AK_Dave, where? i want it to run when the networking etc starts [07:59] loquitus_of_bor1: use the "software sources" program. [08:00] manpoole: I have 32bit Jaunty on a different machine, different configuration, and there IS a ram footprint difference but its hard to say thats entirely due to 64bit. But since you asked, my netbook on boot/login idles around 220mb used and the workhorse around 280mb used. [08:00] I have ubuntu installed into a windows partition and I can mount the C drive of the windows partition but not the D drive how can I mount this? [08:00] kenyon: do I turn on -proposed or pre-release and backports? [08:01] loquitus_of_bor1: System->Administration->Software Sources-> Updates tab. You can enable the -proposed and -backports repositories as well as the security and recommended updates [08:01] loquitus_of_bor1: edit your /etc/apt/sources.list [08:01] nvm found it [08:02] hmm are these sensors reading normal? http://pastebin.com/m25d1a188 [08:02] i think one of the ubuntu updates i downloaded wiped out my computer [08:02] manpoole: netbook currently shows 248mb used and workhorse says 660mb used with a bunch of crap open. [08:02] what does in5 and in6 stand for? [08:02] like, some of my shortcuts (launchers) were sitll up there, but they didnt have programs attached to them [08:02] they're on alarm [08:02] and i had a folder on my desktop, and its not there anymore [08:03] where is this stuff [08:03] if the launcher is still there, it implies something weird happened [08:03] like emacs was gone, gcc was gone, i had to reinstall everything, but my account still existed [08:03] i might go to ubuntu 64 tonight to give it a try at least until the 23rd [08:04] timfrost + BladeNBrocade: the problem seems to be gone... I've changed nameserver, restarted postifx and mail is falling in! [08:05] manpoole: This is the first 64bit Ubuntu that I've kept for over a week without cursing it. I have it running side-by-side with another machine that has a 32bit install and neither have given me any unexpected problems. Only the expected ones. [08:05] stanman1: glad to hear that the problem is fixed. [08:05] didn't restart the network thos.... no need? as in: if it's not broke, don't fix it? [08:06] lol expected problems [08:06] hi.. why did ubuntu wipe out my whole home directory? [08:06] my programs disappeared [08:06] Is 9.04 a LTS release? [08:06] Is there some place where ALL Ubuntu realeses EVER can be downloaded? Torrent or anything? [08:07] what is the command to make a script executable? [08:07] stanman1: iI suspect that the DNS relay in your broadband modem had a probem. You may need to reload (power off/on) the modem at some time. [08:08] frederick85: chmod +x [08:08] ak_dave i think i am going to give 64 bit a whirl i am just reading an article on firefox 64 [08:08] or more interesting, what will be the next LTS release of ubuntu? [08:08] Hi guys, When using xrandr to manually add an undetected monitor resolution I get this error: http://pastebin.com/d5ddf87d8 [08:09] how do i make modules load on startup, and symbolic links stay after i reboot [08:09] manpoole: Only aspect that matters to me where I'm certain that 64bit is faster is encrypt/decrypt. [08:09] is it possible to just reinstall the boot sector, like grub and whatnot, and not overwrite the whole drive? [08:10] im kind of new to linux so how would faster encrypt decrypt help me? [08:10] kind of like a fixmbr for ubuntu [08:10] guja: not quite. The old releases are archived at old-releases.ubuntu.com, and the current releases are at CC.archive.ubuntu.com [08:10] I [08:10] n [08:10] h [08:10] a [08:10] I [08:10] [08:10] frederick85: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[08:11] i'm having problems running world of warcraft when I run it the computer keeps spamming enter [08:11] thats what i kind of assumed it was for when you say encrypt decryprt?

[08:14] I just got a new update on apt, where can I read the change log ? [08:15] hi everyone, is there a video player and a voip app in the jaunty live cd? [08:17] hi. i'm trying to install ubuntu from a usb stick, but it fails saying it can't read from the CD. i checked the log and it's looking for a file in a directory that doesn't exist on the iso. what am i supposed to do? [08:17] hey, trying to restrict access to a samba share to only a 2k3 domain user [08:17] im using "domain+user name" and it doesnt work [08:18] any suggestion? [08:19] Need some help, when I run a program through wine its as if I'm holding down the Enter button and it doesn't stop until I close the program. [08:19] Zedde: the change log/update description is usually right there in the GUI [08:19] hi to all [08:19] Hi guys, When using xrandr to manually add an undetected monitor resolution I get this error: "xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed" for the full code: http://pastebin.com/d5ddf87d8 [08:19] hi [08:19] dalton2345: check for mplayer and ekiga [08:20] dalton: mplayer and ekiga [08:20] =) [08:20] Zedde: aptitute changelog apt. Or check the package details on launchpad (URL depends on which release you are running) [08:20] can anyone help troubleshoot an onboard audio problem? [08:20] any one indonesian? [08:20] Zedde: try 'aptitude' rather than 'aptitute' [08:21] BladeNBrocade: ty [08:21] np [08:21] indonesia [08:22] trying to convert someone to linux...so i need a live cd full of apps :) [08:22] i think i have indonesia too =) === Plutarco is now known as Mikel [08:22] how can i check if ubuntu server is communicating with my 2k3 AD domain? [08:22] cool.. as an FYI,, there should most likely be 2 cd/dvd drives to use mplayer from the liveCD [08:22] as it is expected,, if there is 1,, then that drive is in use =) === Mikel is now known as miguel [08:23] unless you have another disk drive [08:23] usb is good [08:23] hdd [08:23] floppy, not su much === miguel is now known as Mikel_1234 [08:23] external drive :) [08:23] awesome [08:23] that too === Mikel_1234 is now known as Mikel_1234sorry [08:23] as i said unless u have 2+ this wonts work so u should be good [08:24] Does anyone know how to change the default DVI viewer in Emacs from xdvi to kdvi? === Mikel_1234sorry is now known as Mikel_1234 [08:24] im seriously lost, just got new motherboard http://www.gigabyte.us/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=3031 and cannot get the sound working at all [08:24] joakimk: maybe in emacsrc? [08:24] i'm gonna use the rc jaunty hope mplayer and ekiga works fine till the final release [08:24] Hi guys, When using xrandr to manually add an undetected monitor resolution I get this error: "xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed" for the full code: http://pastebin.com/d5ddf87d8 [08:25] shipitkthx: is sound muted? is lsmod | grep snd showing sound modules enabled? and lspci or lshw showing ur card? [08:25] BladeNBrocade: I'm using this "AuC TeX" thing, where I get a Latex toolbar in Emacs. And the "DVI" button is linked (somehow) to xdvi... [08:25] BladeNBrocade: What is Emacsrc, btw? [08:26] joakimk: the startup file for emacs [08:26] BladeNBrocade: Oh, in my case that's .emacs Same thing? [08:26] i believe it uses a .file [08:26] yep [08:27] BladeNBrocade: Great :) I'm already redefining some stuff in there, which works as it should. But how do I find out what variable (its name) to change? [08:27] however i put a ? after my answer because im not sure,, maybe there though.. i HATE emacs.. i luv VI [08:27] BladeNBrocade: :) [08:27] timfrost: I turned on prereleases and backports... now how I get it to install those prerelease kernels? [08:27] bladenbrocade: http://paste.ubuntu.com/155179/ [08:27] joakimk: possibly googling on it.. those varibles should be documented somewhere [08:28] hello i was wondering if anyone could assist me in the mecanix of ubuntu havent used it yet but waswondering if it was good for gameing [08:28] like world of warcraft [08:28] and CS source and such [08:28] Bob_: it could be,, a lot of game companies done build games for linux period,, let a lone ubuntu,, people play windows games via wine though [08:28] trying to fix my freaking sound [08:28] Bob_: I don't play it, but I'm told it runs better in Wine on linux than it does natively on Windows. [08:28] what an annoying issue [08:29] moin [08:29] linux + sound = hairpulling annoying [08:29] whats the difference from fedora and ubuntu? [08:29] loquitus_of_bor1: are u the one whos sound works from live CD and not on the actual OS? [08:29] Bob_: fedora is red hat based [08:29] O i c [08:29] Bob_: ubuntu is debian based [08:29] Fedora is Red Hat's alpha program [08:29] bladenbrocade: yah. used to work on the actual installed OS. stopped working [08:29] hi is this correct 0 9,21 * * * /usr/local/bin/mirrorbuild.sh if i have to run at every day at 9:00AM and 9:00 PM [08:30] loquitus_of_bor1: thats weird,, it appears to be an issue with the module on disk or config on disk [08:30] bladenbrocade did u see my paste? [08:30] if sound works on the live CD i dought hardware is the issue [08:30] no [08:30] bladenbrocade: it used to work... so it is not like the installed OS is totally hosed. [08:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/155179/ [08:30] shipitkthx: checking now [08:30] anyone know a good raid throughput monitoring program. i just want to see the speed of current data traffic and if the raid is ok. i tried mdadm but it doesnt show current MB/s [08:31] linky0ne: depends,, there are some,, what type of system are u on? [08:31] linky0ne: mdadm tools [08:31] ubuntu server 8.1 === mrpresident is now known as roccity_ [08:32] AK_Dave: i used that to create it but what options allow me to see real time throughput? [08:32] shipitkthx: all that output actually looks fine thats weird,, when u start ur audio programs what error do u get if any? [08:33] none [08:33] just no idea [08:33] start a program from the terminal to see any messages ur logs aren't getting [08:33] Hi guys, When using xrandr to manually add an undetected monitor resolution I get this error: "xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed" for the full code: http://pastebin.com/d5ddf87d8 anybody know what's going on? [08:33] this sometimes gives a better clue [08:33] kaushal: that looks correct [08:33] im on dual boot with XP and XP works fine so i know connections are ok [08:33] linky0ne: If mdadm tools don't say so, then I don't know. [08:33] totem popped up this - /var/lib/python-support/python2.6/gdata/tlslite/utils/cryptomath.py:9: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead [08:34] yes and the live cd sound works so i would suspect the actual driver module isn't correct one second,, what platform are u on 64 bit or 32 bit? [08:34] timfrost: Thanks :) [08:34] shipitkthx: that looks to be ignorable [08:34] So ubuntu is basically ubuntu sid with support? [08:34] shipitkthx: some python verbose crap [08:34] AK_Dave: thanks, ill keep googling [08:34] debian* [08:35] in sound preferences which options should i be using? [08:35] now thats when u started the program,, however do any neww messages appear when u go for something that creates sound? [08:35] loafers: I think the Debian community would like to think they are "support". But if you mean "paid support", then thats what Canonical does. [08:35] alsa mixer usually is what works [08:35] helloooo... [08:35] blade, have an mp3 playing now, no messages, no audio [08:35] shipitkthx: weirdness [08:35] ok do u have all lines unmuted? [08:35] oh wait [08:36] changed stuff to Digital ALSA [08:36] and got error message [08:36] err hold on [08:36] what was it before? [08:36] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application. [08:36] may just be b/c i had totem running [08:36] i dunno ive gone through almost every option [08:37] hmm try closing all ur sound apps and trying again ... still sounds weird,, that would just mean u have many musics playing at once [08:37] is there something that crashed holding on to the audio card? didnt' u say totem crashed earlier? [08:37] nope [08:37] how do I install prerelease kernels in ubuntu? [08:37] u neeed to most likely build that type of kernel on ubuntu [08:37] loquitus_of_bor1: Did you enable -proposed and -backports ?? [08:38] AK_Dave: yes [08:38] oh u got from apt... [08:38] loquitus_of_bor1: did you apt-get update ?? [08:38] Greetings from Saudi Arabia [08:38] greetings [08:38] AK_Dave: doin it from the command line to be sure. the software sources thing did to some sort of update [08:39] does the live cd has all the codecs to play music, video [08:39] loquitus_of_bor1: what are you trying to do that isn't available in the standard Ubuntu kernel [08:39] I have a problem with Ubuntu LTS and a recent OpenSSL update [08:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/155184/ [08:39] please anyone? [08:39] this is on a server in a vps [08:39] loq: assuming you uncommented the hash from -proposed and -backports, then consider this: 'sudo apt-get update -f && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' [08:40] timfrost: my Creative Labs X-Fi sound card stopped working for some mysterious reason. the driver is open sourced but I have no idea why it stopped. so I am "shaking" the castle by trying a different kernel. [08:40] shipitkthx: not sure the method for updating alsa or trying to reinstall the mod [08:40] have u tried this? [08:40] no ill look into it [08:41] AK_Dave: ok sudo apt-get update done... it did not seem to do much [08:41] still need to upgrade and dist-upgrade now [08:41] update just gives new repos [08:41] loquitus_of_bor1: Before you try this "new kernel" route, which seems dubious for your problem, have you considered that the audio driver may just be locked? A simple 'modprobe -r [module] && modprobe [module]' will probably fix it. [08:42] =) [08:42] this is the correct channel for LTS right? [08:42] AK_Dave: I rebooted the machine and even tried reinstalling the driver... so would your solution matter? [08:42] siriusnova: seems you are missing some directories [08:42] u should try that as well shipitkthx [08:42] tpfenig - strange I have them [08:42] loquitus_of_bor1: It won't hurt, and often works. [08:43] siriusnova: you have? [08:43] i have /usr/lib/ssl/certs [08:43] yes [08:43] and /usr/lib/i686 [08:43] hm [08:43] the package manager wants to install into ./usr/lib/ssl/certs I think [08:43] which is incorrect [08:43] if you read the pastebin [08:43] siriusnova: whats the ownership on thos files? [08:43] siriusnova: maybe try "dpkg-reconfigure openssl" first [08:44] oh wow [08:44] weird [08:44] mayb that fixes something [08:44] hmm [08:44] siriusnova: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:44] tpfennig: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:44] loquitus_of_bor1: But if you're intent on the "new kernel" route, I gave you a full commandline to cut-paste: 'sudo apt-get update -f && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' [08:44] how do you turn off your system beep? [08:44] im on 8.10 [08:44] AK_Dave: assuming that does not work, how do I install additional kernels so that I can try to boot these on startup? [08:44] Blade, what module am i checking? [08:45] how do u turn off the system beep? [08:45] the sound mods [08:45] wow this is weird guys - http://paste.ubuntu.com/155187/ [08:45] BladeNBrocade and tpfennig [08:45] bladnbrocade where is that? [08:45] it's working fine now, thanks you guys! [08:45] quizme: I prefer wiresnips. [08:45] siriusnova: the sound mods [08:46] siriusnova: I think your file system has bugs [08:46] ak_dave whats that? [08:46] quizme: i forget where u turn that off from.. [08:46] siriusnova: if you can please make a check. do you use ex2/ext3 ? [08:47] hi iam galactus ! [08:47] its on a vps [08:47] quizme: http://www.arsgeek.com/2006/08/23/how-to-turn-off-the-annoying-system-beep-in-linux-debianubuntu/ [08:47] bladenbrocade thanks! [08:47] sure [08:47] reiserfs lol [08:47] i just checked [08:47] siriusnova: omg ;-) [08:47] quizme: wire snips are a permenant way to disable system beep. [08:47] AK_Dave: did those commands by the way... no difference... [08:47] wow weird [08:48] hello can anyone please help me I have run into a strange problem my /etc/passwd file is not accessable so I cant use my OS at all. When I boot with the desktop live cd and try to access the file it gives me this error:rm: cannot remove `passwd': Stale NFS file handle [08:48] i didnt expect reiserfs [08:48] lol [08:48] perhaps i should complain to my vps host [08:48] loquitus_of_bor1: was there anything upgraded by those commands? [08:48] AK_Dave: no... I guess I should mention I am in Jaunty... my bad. [08:48] hmm os passwd mounted on a remote share? [08:48] if anyone knows how to remove a file that has that "Stale NFS file handle" on it please help me [08:48] loquitus_of_bor1: Yeah, your bad. Wrong channel. [08:48] siriusnova: yes, maybe they can run a deep check for you. I cant help much with reiser [08:48] damn. [08:49] * stardux yo [08:49] a stale nfs file handle i believe means that file isn't on the nfs anymore.. or accessible to ur system from the NFS [08:49] yes but I dont have any nfs shares or use nfs to other systems [08:49] the file is my /etc/passwd file [08:49] hi [08:49] understood [08:49] hello...kl ada anak indonesia...chat with me!!! [08:50] what gives that error then? is it in a log.. or do u get that from the command rm? [08:50] loquitus_of_bor1: There are NO proposed for Jaunty at this point, as the software is not yet released. Anything that would be proposed, goes main. And since it isn't release, there is nothing being backported to it either as Karmic isn't far enough along to backport out of. [08:50] yes the command rm [08:50] and when u do df -ah /etc/passwd what filesystem shows? [08:50] bladenbrocade i am a happy camper thank you [08:50] quizme: awesome [08:50] I try to boot my machine but no user can log in [08:50] 9.04 looking nice :) [08:50] yea thats an obvious affect of not being able to use the passwd file.. [08:51] AK_Dave: I wonder if my sound card not working issue is just some bug that is resolved in Jaunty [08:51] loquitus_of_bor1: Since you now fess to using Jaunty, I think we have to guess that your random audio outage is some random regression that happened with an upgrade at some point. Maybe you should report a bug. [08:51] not really sure [08:51] so I tried to check that file out from the live cd [08:51] hmm [08:51] but the passwd file from the live CD is pristine [08:51] AK_Dave: yes... my thoughts too [08:51] it doesn't have any users u created on ur system [08:51] df: `passwd': Stale NFS file handle [08:52] df: no file systems processed [08:52] gurut: hmm [08:52] thats saying df thinks that the /etc/passwd file sits on a nfs that has a stale file handle,, and it wont continue to process the command.. [08:53] hello [08:53] how do I boot into text mode? [08:53] oh hmm I wonder how that came to be [08:53] could you please recommend me a good mp3 cutter program for ubuntu?

[09:02] BladeNBrocade: Do you mean you want to boot into a recovery mode terminal? === DAWSE is now known as dawSE [09:02] gurut: that would be done either by a boot option, or by editing the grub @ boot time to point to /bin/sh... being that u have one drive i believe u need to umount those partitions from single usermode and fsck /dev/device [09:02] normally you have recovery mode as an option in the grub menu [09:03] I did this > http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/155202/ [09:03] it dont seem like its checking [09:03] hello [09:03] i just found a strange bugg here [09:04] gurut: try 'sudo fsck /dev/sda1' [09:04] hello, how can I increase buffer (disk reading cache) for Rhythmbox 0.11.6 please? [09:04] it was checked [09:04] its clean [09:04] /dev/sda1: clean, 224875/5857280 files, 2734660/23416737 blocks [09:04] when i installed Ubuntu and installed Terminator it all works well.

[09:07] s/interseting./interesting/ [09:08] BladeNBrocade: gurut: it may pay to run 'sudo fsck.ext3 -f /dev/sda1 ' to force a full check [09:08] timfrost: correct [09:09] Aha [09:09] that gives me orphaned inodes! [09:09] found some dirt? [09:09] awesome so clean the fs and reboot it [09:10] I am so glad you took the time to help me BladeNBrocade and timfrost for your fsck input there :) Thanks alot! [09:10] np.. id wait until we are succesful however.. [09:10] Hehe [09:10] gurut: id like to see that u can reboot into ur gui fine now... [09:10] well I am getting my hopes up [09:11] grabbing a mug of java :) [09:11] i think it's expected,, sounds like that may have been an issue .. cool === mike is now known as Guest11562 === bjames is now known as Guest60765 [09:13] timfrost: are u familiar with dual monitor setups? and maybe docking settings? [09:14] Hello, when I enter "ps aux" I see imap-login, tomcat6, pop3-login runnning three times and apache2 6 times, is that supposed to be like that? === sean is now known as Guest32988 [09:14] sluimers: for tomcat depends,, for apache yes because it has children,, that sounds liek u installed a web stacks,,, have you? [09:14] BladeNBrocade: i have dual monitor at work, on an Nvidia card. What are you trying to set up? [09:15] I'm trying to set up a Cisco VPN connection to me work network on Ubuntu 8.10. I have a default.conf file from an old Ubuntu install, but my password is rejected when I use this on the command line. I've tried manually creating a VPN connection using the GUI applet, but the required fields don't match the fields in the default.conf file. [09:15] my* [09:15] i keep accidentially detaching gnome-terminal tabs all the time can i somehow turn off this stoopid behaviour? [09:15] I might have, what are web stacks? [09:15] for tomcat depends on how many instances of tomcat and applications are running.. for imap and mail daemons it is commons to see more than one process as well [09:15] Hi all, I need to revert a package to an older version. I know I can do that with apt-get install package=version but... 1) what's the old version and 2) where is it? [09:15] apache/mysql/php and other utils like a imap/smtp daemons,.. [09:15] for example [09:16] If I have two harddrives running raid 1 and i want to install ubuntu on both...this is a bios setting and in ubuntu i will only see one drive? do i need to pay special attention to anything due to the raid 1 setup? [09:16] BladeNBrocade: there are many problems with the disk I home fsck doesn't remove my files [09:16] rebooting now [09:16] BladeNBrocade hey i need a little help, i have a windows iso, i just burned it to a dvd too, but it wont load when i choose boot from cd [09:16] timfrost: well we just switched to laptops at work,, and i take home with me where i use the laptop screen , at work however i use dual monitors on the doc,, and i enable xinerama... [09:17] timfrost: this is when compiz breaks [09:17] BladeNBrocade heh i know you hate windows but it just happens to be that im too dumb for linux [09:17] acode_: If the drives are linked in a raid1 then you're installing to a partition which is mirrored on both drives. It is invisible to you once you set it up. [09:17] noiz: explain the issue again.. srry im a little slow [09:17] AK_Dave: excellent, thats just what i needed to hear [09:18] thanks [09:18] BladeNBrocade i burnt a windows iso on a dvd and it wont boot when i insert it [09:18] Le-Chuck_ITA: what ubuntu release? and what package? If you have all the repositories (-backports, -proposed, -updates and -security) you can check the versions in all repositories with the command 'apt-cache policy [09:18] BladeNBrocade but i still need linux for some other things, can i dualboot ? [09:18] Hi Guys, I was wondering why on earth does Ubuntu glitch on startup? i mean the ubuntu loaders graphics go on the frits and flicker and it freezes on me HELP!!! [09:18] timfrost: is there a way to have maybe 2 xorgs,, because i think i found a work around for 2 monitors & compiz in a xsetting,, however i dont think that xsetting would be relevant at home being im using one screen there.. so is there like hardware profiles? [09:19] not 2 xorgs.. to xorg confs for two hardware profiles rather... [09:19] <^Phantom^> how the fuck do i get rid of grub? [09:20] noiz: yes .. the windows iso oprobably isn't liking ext3 fs. [09:20] SebMcK: I believe it is due to the fact that there is a handover between the various stages of boot GRUB -> Linux console -> GDM -> gnome desktop. [09:20] BladeNBrocade so how i install it? [09:20] ^Phantom^: why do you want to do that? [09:20] ^Phantom^: You'd need to install another bootloader. [09:20] Guest60765: So theres no way to fix it? [09:21] <^Phantom^> \it put itself on my primary internal hard drive when i nstalled linux to my EXTERNAL hard drive [09:21] possibly resizing ubuntu,, if i understand ur issue correct,,, then wiping that ext3 space in the front of the drive for windows.. but then u may need to do other things like reinstall grub,, etc,, not even sure if that is the method [09:21] <^Phantom^> linux won't boot [09:21] SebMcK: Not really - there is a high-level bug raised in launchpad to make the boot process smoother (more like OSX). [09:21] <^Phantom^> and grub is stopping windows from booting [09:21] <^Phantom^> i'm FURIOUS [09:21] ^Phantom^: load your windows recovery cd and go to the console [09:21] Guest60765: Awww D: That is stupid no ubuntu for me [09:22] ^Phantom^: then do fix mbr [09:22] ^Phantom^: Sounds like you've made an error during installation? You need to boot using a live CD and rebuilt GRUB's config files. [09:22] ^Phantom^: that rewtites M$'s boot loader to the mbs of the internal hd [09:22] hello do i have to get drivers after i install ubuntu [09:22] then you need to start agauin [09:22] again [09:22] ^Phantom^: There are tutorials online - I'll see if I can find you one... [09:23] BladeNBrocade: I haven't tried is sort of setup - I have 1 laptop, running windows, for support connection to work. There are lots of documents about dual monitors for laptops, that assume that you are always using the built-in display, and simply add the second monitor. I can't comment on these as I don't have such a setup. [09:23] is there no special channel for installation [09:23] timfrost: i understand [09:23] <^Phantom^> dell was a bunch of fucknuts and didn't provide a recovery disk [09:23] <^Phantom^> disc* [09:23] lirvan: nope, just ask here [09:23] ^Phantom^: please control your language [09:23] <^Phantom^> Error 21 [09:23] ^Phantom^: Don't do what monky says if you want to dual boot. [09:23] ^Phantom^: if you can't ssay it without swearing - please don't say it [09:23] ^Phantom^: most likely because the recovery function is built into the hpa of the drive [09:24] liran: to update your system use "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" without the freaking qoutes [09:24] ^Phantom^: I don't believe that the Windows bootloader supports other OSes without hacking. [09:24] lirvan: to update your system use "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" without the freaking qoutes [09:24] <^Phantom^> sorry, i'm just furious === BladeNBrocade is now known as BladeAway [09:24] ^Phantom^: your furious for something that is nothing to do with ubuntu [09:25] !away > BladeAway [09:25] BladeAway, please see my private message [09:25] <^Phantom^> i have some data that i hadnb't gotten around to backing up as of yet :( [09:25] ^Phantom^: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [09:25] its all gill gates fault!

[09:26] ^Phantom^: I suggest you run the Ubuntu LiveCD and backup everything you need to an external drive. This is good practice whenever you install an OS/modify critical files that are likely to leave your machine unbootable. [09:27] this has to be a bug... why does ' ' look the same? in xev it shows the correct stuff. Is this related to my SE keyboard? [09:27] ^Phantom^> Guest60765 has give you a link that can help...use it [09:27] I have 850+ pdfs that I need to quickly go through and delete un-needed versions. Anyone know of a way to view maybe the first page of 50 or so pdfs at a time and selectively delete versions being viewed?

[09:30] nmvictor: ps aux| grep apache [09:30] ^Phantom^: All you needed to do was to change the boot order in you BIOS. [09:31] <^Phantom^> how would that bypass grub being installed? [09:31] nmvictor: you could change port on apache temporary just to make sure your httpd.conf is correct [09:31] nmvictor: or better: lsof -i | grep 80 [09:31] if i am dual booting windows and ubuntu do i have to get drivers for ubuntu and if i dont find drivers what will happen my motherboard is from a little known company called kobian and they dont even provide updated drivers [09:31] ^Phantom^: That's the simplest way at least. It is possible to add the external hard drive to your bootloader config, but I wouldn't as that's not a portable solution. [09:31] nmvictor: check what remoteCTRL1 wrote [09:32] <^Phantom^> I just want my computer back [09:32] * ^Phantom^ cries [09:32] Hi, i have linux ubuntu and i just burned windows to dvd and it wont boot from the cd for some reaso. [09:32] reason* === ^Vampire^ is now known as Ranakah` [09:32] can somone help me whit that problem? === Ranakah` is now known as Vampy [09:32] noiz: your basically saying you pirated it? [09:32] burned to dvd but boot from cd? [09:32] lirvan: ubuntu should detect all of your mainboard components automatically, if not you will have to tinker a lot... [09:32] noiz: Check your BIOS boot order - CD/DVD should be at the top of the list. [09:32] I did. [09:32] it wont boot [09:33] noiz: you probably burned it wrong, what application are you using to burn? [09:33] nmvictor: when installing apache it usually contains loads of start and stop of the apache service so someone can be hanging around as a zombie 8 ) [09:33] remoteCTRL:i did that and it echoes somewords i cant seem to understand [09:33] what tinkering [09:33] noiz: Why should you be burning a Windows disk? Surely you can use the original install CD? [09:33] noiz: check your windows burning settings. [09:33] ^o) [09:33] lirvan: lets say engineering; finding drivers for it and manually "injecting" them into the system [09:33] lirvan: try booting the live cd, if that works everything is fine [09:33] <^Phantom^> well, my data is all still there [09:33] * ^Phantom^ sighs relief [09:33] and why burn windows on a dvd? ^^ [09:34] yes live cd works [09:34] remoteCTL1 ty god its a dvd r :D eh i used cd/dvd creator [09:34] erm... [09:34] ^Phantom^: what are you rallying about? [09:34] <^Phantom^> is there any way i can restore the boot record from within the live cd? [09:34] Petfrogg well what you mean windows burning settings? im on linux :D [09:34] ^Phantom^: It's best to have a good backup policy - never rely on the fact that your machine will be working when you turn it on :) [09:34] hmm [09:34] sorry [09:34] hi === Vampy is now known as Ranakah` [09:34] i didnt see that you where burning a Windows OS [09:34] sorry [09:34] wont help with pirated stuff [09:35] I try to use stdio.h and FILE fprintf are not found. The header itself is found.. any hints? [09:35] noiz: you cannot just burn the iso to a cd/dvd, you need to burn the iso, usually there are some menus somewehere that say burn iso, but where to find that depends on the application... [09:35] noiz: but you always mount the windows iso in loopback [09:35] ^Phantom^: Can I have some more details? What does the hard drive contain in terms of OSes? [09:35] ^Phantom^: How is it partitioned? [09:35] noiz: just to "test" it of course [09:35] noiz: if you are on linux use gnomebaker, go to tools and click on burn cd iso === Kissaki^0ff is now known as Kissaki [09:36] remoteCTRL1: noiz could check it first by mounting it in loopback and boot it in quemu or virtualbox [09:36] noiz: and basicall what Petfrogg said [09:36] do I have to use another header?! [09:36] remoteCTRL1: H5! [09:36] Petfrogg I dont like vbox, i need to play games. [09:36] Petfrogg: well that would be slight overkill in effort for the purpose wouldnt it? [09:36] i mean for testing if the iso work [09:37] i did. [09:37] it worked on vbox [09:37] :) [09:37] ok [09:37] <^Phantom^> i honestly don't know [09:37] it even as a crack [09:37] i dont have much space in cdrive can i still install ubuntu to dual boot with windows [09:37] then it is a burning issue [09:37] hello , when I connect to ssh server that have port 4523 , ssh client said : ssh: Could not resolve hostname fg2.dorasan.net:4523: Name or service not known , how can I resolve this problem ? [09:37] anybody know of a sega genesis emulator that runs natively on linux? [09:37] Who knows , for goods its a dvd r [09:37] noiz: if it doesnt boot on system startup you probably have your boot device priority messed up in bios [09:37] drinkycrow: Have you tried googling for "sega genesis emulator linux"? [09:37] ^Phantom^: Tell it from the beginning - your winning starts to annoy me. Give me a quick brief. You can do it in priv if you like to [09:38] guys dont you think there should be more channels for specific problems . if they exist will someone tell me [09:38] karname: sounds like ssh isn't running on that port and host [09:38] remoteCTRL1 im dumb but not that dumb, i set cd dvd on first. [09:38] ^Phantom^: Can you let me in on the info too please. [09:38] this is confusing too many conversations interfering with each other [09:38] nmvictor: still there? [09:38] remoteCTRL1 then there was - and then it asked "press any key to boot from cd" i pressed alot of keys nothing happened and after that it started to boot the kernel already. [09:39] noiz: well if the iso mounts and you have your bios setup straight what else reason could there be for it not to boot? [09:39] Lirvan: There are many. [09:39] never thought of that [09:39] nmvictor: how is your portscanning going? [09:39] noiz: usb keyboard? [09:39] karname: what's the string you're using to connect? ssh -l username hostname -P portnumber ? [09:39] bladeAway : my port and host is different from this , but I can connect with ssh client in windows , but I can't connect in linux! [09:39] remoteCTRL1 yes [09:39] remoteCTRL1 i think i have one not usb one [09:39] nmvictor: there is to many ppl talking - you can priv me and i will brief remoteCTRL1 about the process. [09:39] <^Phantom^> i'm confused [09:39] noiz: have a try with that one [09:40] drinkycrow: There is a common expression heard in IRC channels like this: "Just f***ing google it" :) [09:40] karname: whats ur answer to noiz question? [09:40] karname: from that error message it looks like you're trying to specify the port with a : at the end of the hostname, which is why its not resolving. [09:40] Guest60765: you're so witty [09:40] ^Phantom^: the Windows boot record, or the grub one? If you want the windows boot record, then you may need to boot windows (or a Windows CD), and use the fixMBR option. For grub, you may need to boot a rescue CD (linux live CD, or supergrub) [09:40] remoteCTRL1 k ty il try that [09:40] noiz, k, report back aftr that;) === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [09:40] <^Phantom^> 107.2 GB Volume: disk-1 [09:41] <^Phantom^> it has the windows partition on it [09:41] <^Phantom^> i want THAT to boot [09:41] <^Phantom^> not grub :( [09:41] noiz: go and buy yourself a windows os and a harddrive so you can get it as OEM product - cheaper [09:41] notdkw & BladeAway : thanks a lot , my problem solved with -p switch [09:41] ^Phantom^: And no other partitions?

[09:47] i was confirming your thought and clarifying that it was a directory [09:47] no offense intended [09:47] drinkycrow: as i said i said i made a misteake and said file [09:47] <^Phantom^> k [09:47] nmvictor: btw better paste it to pastebin.com so that Petfrogg can also read it [09:47] remoteCTRL:apacherror.txt [09:48] nmvictor: thx [09:48] ironically a directory is a file so... this gets us no where [09:48] hello, i want to enable mod_rewrite but i getting error during restarting apache [09:48] <^Phantom^> cfdis running [09:48] )Name or service not known: Could not resolve host name localhost2 -- ignoring!

[09:49] ^Phantom^, nmvictor and remoteCTRL1 - i want to help you but this channel got too many converations on. Skip to #tavere [09:50] i don't know what is localhost2 [09:50] I AM NOT TRYING TO LURE PPL AWAY FROM HERE! JUST TRYING TO HELP [09:50] DRAGGER: how were you restarting? That error indicates that apache was already running, so a reconfigure was appropriate [09:50] DRAGGER: whats in apache logs? [09:50] so whats the problem? [09:51] /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [09:51] it could be apache was running or that u aren't root [09:51] Petfrogg: sorry dude but i am supporting here;) [09:51] DRAGGER: what did the apache error log say? [09:51] DRAGGER: well you should have a look at your /etc/apache2/sites-available/yoursite and lookout for that localhost2 entry cos that is of course rubbish [09:52] magentar: i mean like for cutting a specific part of an mp3 to make a ringtone for example [09:52] i dont see localhost2.. =( [09:52] shantzu, audacity is quite nice [09:52] nmvictor: what about that link? [09:52] ^Phantom^: what are you trying to do and where are you at now? [09:52] I can't connect to my tomcat. When I try to connect through firefox it just keeps loading forever. [09:52] Hi guys, When using xrandr to manually add an undetected monitor resolution I get this error: "xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed" for the full code: http://pastebin.com/d5ddf87d8 anybody know what's going on? [09:52] sluimers: bounce the tomcat [09:53] BladeAway, bounce? [09:53] sluimers: recycle the instance [09:53] sluimers: restart [09:53] remoteCTRL:you got the file?what link? [09:53] sluimers: have u checked tomcat logs for ooms and hung threads? [09:54] (10:47:16 AM) nmvictor: ok i pasted the file at http://paste.ubuntu.com dont know if its of any help [09:54] remoteCTRL1: ok! i try to help nmvictor and ^Phantom^ alone for a while. It is to messy in here. [09:54] no, I don't know where the logs are located [09:54] remoteCTRL1: i will have them back soon [09:54] nmvictor: that is no help try to follow the link and tell me what you see, as i wrote i need the exact link;) [09:54] do ps auxwww and grep out tomcat [09:54] the base director should be in the output... [09:54] Petfrogg: :D if you say so [09:54] usually somewhere under tomcat home dir though [09:55] $TOMCAT_HOME/server/default/logs is sometimes the structure [09:56] Hi guys, When using xrandr to manually add an undetected monitor resolution I get this error: "xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed" for the full code: http://pastebin.com/d5ddf87d8 anybody know what's going on?

[09:56] All I see is logging properties [09:56] !pastebin [09:56] 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) [09:57] sluimers: check under /usr/ for a tomcat directory [09:57] hello [09:57] morning [09:57] remotectrl1: Yeah, that's correct. An LCD [09:57] I'm using 8.04.2, I've enabled the 'show network printers' in system-config-printer dialog, and now the tool hang up [09:58] or even do "find / -xdev -name "*tomcat*" | grep -i "server.log"" [09:58] I've already rebooted, and got the same behaviour: printer config tool hang up and grayed out, any ideas? [09:58] BladeAway, there's a bin, lib and webapps folder there, nothing else [09:58] umm sluimers check webapps folder please [09:58] under there.. [09:58] juls4: i doubt that the crt0 directive would be the correct one then [09:58] webapps = server same diff [09:58] fabman: Have you done updates if not use update manager. [09:59] only a default_root folder [09:59] How does one specify to xrandr you're talking about an LCD? There is no option nor mention of it in any of the guides. [09:59] Hi, what's the name of the irc channel for xorg development in ubuntu? [09:59] sluimers: under there? [09:59] Jamie_, I've installed the 2 available updates today, apt was updated... but I didn't reload for new updates, should I? [09:59] magentar: ok, i'll try that one. thanks =) [09:59] juls4: lemme have a look at this, sec pls [09:59] yes [09:59] remoteCRTL1: no worries mate. [09:59] BladeAway, yes [09:59] fabman: worth a try [09:59] sluimers: webapps default root is only saying that there is one default apps running in tomcat deployment [10:00] hey all...whenever i view some flash content in any website specially youtube firefox starts consuming a whole lot of cpu usage...can anyone give a solution to this or recommend a lightweight web browser [10:00] Jamie_, dun, run synaptic, clicked 'mark all upgrades', nothing is marked up, so no way to 'apply' [10:00] Jamie_, looks like I already have all pkgs at their latest versions... [10:00] sluimers: thats normal check under there to see if there is a log directory or even start ur find command from that directory under user.. logs are somewhere for tomcat.. all in all unless u plan on patching the application,, i suggest stopping and startig tomcat [10:00] KotolD, it's not the webbrowsers fault ;) which version of flash are you using? are you on 64bit? [10:00] KotolD its not the browser its flash [10:01] Jamie_, ah... here it is, the tool is back :) it looks it was just taking a looong time to update its status, thx! [10:01] fabman: didn't do anything but thanks anyhow. [10:01] all: sorry for bothering you with my impatience :) thx! bye! [10:01] fabman: Bye. [10:01] sluimers: its just common to investigate why the instance is hung,, usually oom or out of memory errors ,, hung threads,, or code errors cause these issues,, if u leave tomcat up for some time,, and when u run top if java is always in the top 5 with high cpu usage and rss size u may need to restart the tomcat to make it responsive [10:02] i'm running 32bit with flash 10 [10:02] juls4: i am afraid you are right on that... undofrtunately the error message is not very helpful... [10:02] Howdy! Any idea where to copy a self-compiled wifi module to? /lib/modules/2.6.29.1/extra and /lib/modules/2.6.29.1/kernel/drivers/net/wireless don't work. Module can only be loaded via insmod wl.ko [10:03] magentar: i'm running 32bit with flash 10 [10:03] Petfrogg: number one dune:) [10:03] KotolD, okay that's probably a good configuration. flash requires a lot of resources and cpu power, more than on windows since the plugin is not as good as the windows counterpart [10:03] BladeAway, okay, there's no logs there though [10:03] remoteCRTL1: yeah.. I'm not sure what else I can do. NVIDA drivers have been a complete nightmare with ubuntu. [10:03] BladeAway, just an index.html file and a context.xml [10:03] ahh thats actaully the content.. [10:04] cd .. back up to the head of that directory tree [10:04] magentar: are there no solutions or optimizations? [10:04] and run that find command from there with . instead of / [10:04] KotolD, you can try getting a version, but you will probably already have the newest one [10:04] juls4: naaah nvidia drivers are ok as long as you dont compile them yourself but even this has become better since ubuntu recopilse them automatically on kernel updates [10:04] KotolD, no since the plugin is closed source and only developed by adobe [10:04] u should actually see the catalina directories i believe if you are in the right location [10:04] magentar flash works fine here now that adobe have released a newer version WITHOUT the memory leak. [10:05] remoteCTRL1: i just got that. I leave nmvictor back into your TLC [10:05] TLC? [10:05] sluimers: how did u install tomcat is a better question? tomcat can basically just be placed anywhere and told where java is.. [10:05] koshar1, is it already in the ubuntu repositories? [10:05] remoteCTRL1: TLC = TENDER LOVING CARE [10:05] magentar: eh... thanks [10:05] !TLC [10:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about TLC [10:05] Petfrogg: hahaha yeah i will caress him! [10:05] BladeAway, ah! I found the og! [10:06] log [10:06] helping ppl with "rammstein - Keine lust" on max output is nice... [10:06] sluimers: awesome,, now i guess just check for those type of errors i usually like to do this,,, [10:06] Petfrogg: r u german? [10:06] remoteCTRL1: After installing the restricted drivers via the ubuntu prompt; suspend+hibernate doesn't work, and now this resolution issue. I have a feeling they're dodgy with my particular PC/build. Any ideas anything more i could do on the xrandr front to force the default resolution? [10:06] do anyone know in witch pkg udevinfo kan be found ? [10:06] magentar the installer is, the closed source app actually comes from adobe via the installer [10:07] egrep -i 'mrmory|thread|gc' log.file [10:07] k [10:07] thats memory... typo =) [10:07] juls4: i am afraid not, dude i always used to do these things in the xorg.conf... [10:07] if i have 1Gb + the size the df -h reports for my root partition, is it possible to cache EVERYTHING on / (minus /home on a seperate partition) to a ramdisk and use that to boot / run apps from ? [10:07] remoteCTRL1: swedish [10:07] I installed postgresql but there are no configuration files... what do I do? [10:08] Petfrogg: i see, cos rammstein is this thingie where i never am sure if it is nazi crap or not... [10:08] hmm no config file? [10:08] remoteCTRL1: its just a german industrial band. thats all [10:08] make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 [10:08] no listening sockets available, shutting down [10:08] Unable to open logs [10:08] @remote its not [10:09] DRAGGER: who owns the log? [10:09] ActionParsnip: hi there dude! long time no see, abd i dont even understand your question *g* [10:09] those are all errors of not starting as correct user.. [10:09] remoteCTRL1: i have seen them on Roskilde in 2000 (i think) - they are definetly not Nazi [10:09] i try to run apache on my pc which using ubuntu for first time [10:09] DRAGGER: u need to sudo apache start [10:09] if not this, u need to review the ownerships on apache,, the files and the logs.. [10:09] I have a problem with my external USB-drive, which is formatted in ext3: /media/disk-1$ sudo fsck /dev/sdb1 [10:09] fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008) [10:09] e2fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008) [10:09] fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdb1 [10:09] The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 [10:10] filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 [10:10] tanzania: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:10] if u did a default install of apache and changed nothing just using sudo should solve this [10:10] Petfrogg: ActionParsnip well i happen to understand the lyrics so i am not so selfassured aubout that... [10:10] Tanzania: You need to create mounting point [10:10] unless you are root, u can not start a daemon on a port lower than 1024 and u also can't open logs under /var/log/apache [10:11] or unless u sudo for root privs... [10:11] Tanzania: Goto Add/Remove Prgrams And type in mountmanager. and install [10:11] Jamie, its mounting, its just shows funny copy-failures. thus I wanted to check it. Is there no GTK-app? [10:12] Tanzania: Try G-Parted [10:13] Tanzania: Then unmount then right click and click check [10:13] remoteCTRL1: any particular song? [10:13] remoteCTRL1: hmmm well if playing around with a garden hose strapped on a dildo and imitating shoving up the ass of the keyboardist on stage doesnt state something to the missinformed nazi ppl... then i dont know what it takes [10:13] DRAGGER: "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start" [10:13] ActionParsnip: du riechst so gut for example... quite cranck [10:14] DRAGGER: or be root [10:14] Petfrogg: hahaha kk pint taken they re just sick :D [10:14] remoteCTRL1: they are extremly good live === GRUB is now known as Guest53438 === RoozbehOnline is now known as Roozbeh|Away [10:14] remoteCTRL1: Du riechst so gut is about a stalker [10:14] just because the sing in german doesnt make them Nazis. [10:15] remoteCTRL1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Du_riechst_so_gut [10:15] loads of good stuff come from germany [10:15] ActionParsnip: ya as i said sick [10:15] remoteCTRL1: its not nazi related though [10:15] BladeAway, thanks! It turned out I forot a quote when I edited in tomcat-users.xml [10:15] remoteCTRL1: i can think of far worse bands [10:15] forgot [10:15] Whether It's nazi or not is irrivelant. [10:15] Petfrogg suse? [10:16] remoteCTRL1: I tired adding the modeline to the xorg.conf file to no avail. it doesn't have any effect. Is what I've done right?: http://pastebin.com/m18519a24 [10:16] suse is nazi? [10:16] i knew it [10:16] I'm german: rammstein just sounds "hard" ... thats the only relation to nazi-stuff [10:16] badfish69 suse is from deutchland [10:16] ic [10:16] That does not make it nazi. [10:16] ActionParsnip: well dude dont nail me on specifics now, as said i heard a few and i had the impression i am not a big fan of them to know it all;) [10:16] rumpel voidod in english is hardly a bot chior wither!

[11:25] ^Phantom^: you can compile the source for apps but i suggest jumping to hardy / intrepid / jaunty [11:25] ^Phantom^: check the chan [11:25] <^Phantom^> how about the add/re= [11:25] * ^Phantom^ looks [11:26] what do i do [11:26] <^Phantom^> k [11:26] <^Phantom^> anyhway [11:26] <^Phantom^> how about the add/remove programs thing?

[11:28] erUSUL: thanks ... how do i open the log files? [11:28] <^Phantom^> or juts get rid of grub and go back to plain old windows [11:29] zetheroo: you can use "less" the pager [11:29] lirvan: like i said : in termminal type lspci | grep -i ethernet [11:29] <^Phantom^> cause eveytime i've ever installed linux, couldn't install a damn app for it [11:29] !terminal | lirvan [11:29] erUSUL: "less" ? through the terminal? [11:29] zetheroo: yes === Roozbeh|Away is now known as RoozbehOnline [11:30] erUSUL: like "less error_log" [11:30] lirvan: press alt + f2 type terminal and press enter, that will run a terminal, you can then type the command [11:30] zetheroo: yes [11:31] i am in windows right now [11:31] lirvan: well then thats no good to us is it [11:31] lirvan: write the commands down and boot to linux [11:32] ok tell everyhting that i need to write [11:32] lirvan or copy and paste the commands to a usb stick and mount it in linux [11:32] lirvan: press alt+f2 type terminal press enter [11:32] lirvan: in terminal type: [11:32] yes [11:32] lirvan: lspci | grep -i ether [11:32] yes [11:32] lirvan: the | is a 'pipe' character [11:33] lirvan: also the output of ifconfig -a | grep eth [11:33] erUSUL: thanks that worked [11:33] lirvan: one line will identify your device, write down EXACTLY what it says it is then head back here and tell us [11:33] <^Phantom^> i can boot into windows [11:33] i can tell u what mt device is from windows cant i [11:34] lirvan: it may be different in linux so we need to know what linux sees it as as we are setting up linux [11:34] <^Phantom^> can i get rid of grub and restore the MBR for booting up just windows? [11:34] o is that so [11:34] ok then [11:34] <^Phantom^> from within windows [11:35] ^Phantom^: restore it from windows recovery console with 'fixmbr' [11:35] ^Phantom^: sure, use your xp cd to rrestore the boot partition, for instructions ask in ##windows [11:35] hi all [11:35] is anyone using festival successfully on jaunty? (this may apply to intrepid as well, but then again maybe not) festival needs /dev/dsp, which i try and provide by using padsp, but I don't get any sound, and festival seems to hang, I have to ctrl+c to kill it. (the full command I'm using is: padsp -d festival --tts words ) [11:35] ^Phantom^: use your recovery cd and fixboot and fixmbr [11:35] <^Phantom^> no recovery cd [11:36] I need the command syntax to mount a remote windows nfs drive on ubuntu 8.04 server - Please [11:36] <^Phantom^> will that get rid of grub? [11:36] <^Phantom^> and put me back to my windows-only state? [11:36] ^Phantom^: you need to find some form of media to reinstate the MBR, ask in ##windows for advice ono solutions [11:36] ^Phantom^: alternatively, what's wrong with grub? you can use it to boot just windows [11:37] ^Phantom^: you will have to reformat the partitons ubuntu used [11:37] I think I may not have full rights to my printer ... how can I check this/ [11:37] ?
